Previously on Falcon Crest.

Someone is trying to drive me mad!

Believe me, I've put Melissa over the edge. Hey, that's my mother.

Get out!

I do want to marry you.

Just tell me what you want.

I want you to sell me your stock in the baseball team. I am turning over control

of my share to Richard.

I'm committing murder. You made a deal, Stavros.

And tonight.

White library.

I tell you, this research is some of the most gruesome stuff I've ever read.

It's here without her clothes.

She danced pretty good for a fix.

How many bodies you got there in the basement?

Frankly, my dear, I've lost count.

You made your own bed, Mrs.

Channing. Sleep in it.

Now we'll see who's the queen of Tuscany by the end of the year.

First you do their dirty work.

Then they murder you.

That's what happens when you play games with these people.

Believe me.

You all right?

Yeah. So, Dimitri, if I was concerned... Where's Vicky?

I saw her about five minutes ago.

Quick.

Really well.

Uh, no. No.

Emma, have you seen Vicky?

Not recently, no.

Oh, um, Vicki just left.

She was feeling a little dizzy.

I thought it was Emma's fruit punch.

I know it was a little strong, Mother, but Charlie's recipe was in Chinese.

If Vicki was feeling dizzy, how could she drive?

Oh, well, Eric wasn't around, so these two very nice European distributors

offered to drive her home. Excuse us, ladies.

Thick. Oh, just a little love potion in your champagne.

Harmless. If you're going to kill me, do it now, before I throw up. I'm not

going to kill you. Not with my pocket so empty.

You know, your husband now owes me an even larger debt.

Fortunately, I have a way of making a profit from this situation with your

By the way, I love your dress.

Black is my favorite color.

So, your car just happens to break down in front of me.

And grandmother just happens to make you her assistant.

And you just happen to be wearing a picture of my mother in a locket around

neck. Well, that makes it sound like it's some kind of plot.

Shannon, what does grandmother have on you?

Why'd she give you that picture?

She didn't.

Julia gave it to me herself.

Yeah.

Right.

I was at the convent. I was hiding from life.

I was a mess when I met your mother.

That's why I wear the locket.

She brought me back to life.

Why come here?

Angela came to the convent and she offered to take me under her wing.

To use you as bait to lure me home.

She was worried about you.

She knew how hard you took Dina's death.

And so did Julia.

That's why she suggested that I take your grandmother's offer.

But mom probably warned you about grandmother.

Isn't it great? Everybody's out to help poor Lance.

But they did it out of love.

And I did it because...

Well, you sounded like a nice guy.

And you are.

Janet, let's just keep this between you and me for now.

I'm glad to see you're finally traveling at a safer speed.

How's the inventory going? I'm helping her sort it out. Mrs. Shannon, we've got

a big problem inside.

Oh, this is my best cabernet.

How did this happen?

Oh, my God!

Oh, Joseph!

What have you done?

Call the sheriff.

Joseph! I know you're here, so...

Joseph warned me that he was going to come chop holes in your last cask of

private reserve. And I rushed over here just as soon as I could.

But it's too late.

Joseph, you're going to get punished for this.

You've done enough of that. I hope they have a straight jacket in your size, in

your favorite designer color.

You know, I thought I was crazy, too.

And that's why I was under psychiatric care.

Thank God the doctors told me it was only stress and I'm completely normal.

Joseph!

When he gets home, I'm going to spank him for good.

You have created a monster.

I thought you were going to put Melissa in the funny farm.

She is crazy, isn't she? More than crazy. She's chopped up my winery with

axe. Bad luck.

Well, you've got to turn her around.

I'm a special effects man, not a shrink.

It's not my fault your scheme backfired.

Just do something.

You made your own bed, Mrs. Channing.

Sleep in it.

It probably left the country.

We managed to track Dimitrov's plane down to Los Angeles International and

that's where we lost him.

But we're just starting to look.

How could you set her up for this? She has done nothing but stand by you and

have humiliated her, beat on her, run away from her. Maggie, I don't need

Maggie, I swear to God, I'm going to get my wife back even if it means I have to

go through hell.

All right, all right, all right.

When it comes to hell, there's only one man I know that owns a map of the place,

and he happens to be a friend of mine. Richard, let's go to the FBI. There is

time. Richard, she is my daughter. It is my decision.

Maggie, if Dimitrov's taking her behind the Iron Curtain, the red tape alone

will hang us. Now, you tried when Kevin disappeared to go through the proper

channels, and God knows that was the right thing to do, but he still nearly

ended up at the bottom of the bay.

All right.

All right, we'll do it your way, but I will not be left behind.

Look what the cat dog did.

You're a sight for sore hands.

Missing the conference?

Yep.

Made up with my old man?

Yeah. Nice tomato.

Met the sister I never knew I had.

What was she like?

Wild.

In fact, we had to chain her up to keep her from following me out here.

It's still a pain in the half, damn thick.

Come on, let's make a salad.

Save your money. This place is full of crooks. I know a dog -eat -dog world

I see one.

Maggie G. Baird, Eric Stavros, Mike Breslin.

Most ladies usually hate the dog.

I'm no exception.

You do what I ask.

You still want me for the last time, don't you? Look, if he's not here to

what are we doing here?

Hey.

Check your mitra out.

Where are they?

Do you know?

Nobody knows.

How good is that? They tell you something.

Nobody knows.

Home base is one of the best -kept secrets I've come up with.

I've managed the same business so long. What business?

Come on.

Dimitrov's famous.

He's a legend, the white slavery racket.

Probably sold more girls than anyone else on this planet.

I've been home two hours and now you're leaving.

I guess there's romance in the 80s, huh?

It's just one night in L .A. with a little smother there in the Hollywood

Are you picking up your Academy Award?

Actually, I will be giving a small performance.

I hope it's nothing like the one you just gave.

It's certainly business.

And the businesses.

Angela Channing.

You two still not getting along?

I guess you could say that Sally has never been big enough for the both of

I'm not taking sides, Melissa.

That's because you don't know all the facts.

See you tomorrow.

I'm going to prove something to you, Den Fix. And when I do, you're going to

have to choose between us.

Hello? Dad? Yes, who?

How'd you find me?

I'm at the diner.

You're where?

The diner.

Love to ride on your bike.

Ask me again in another five years.

Hey, you're lost.

Yeah, it's pretty good for a fix.

You said Tuscany was a drag.

Well, I lied.

Because I didn't want this to happen.

This? What do you mean, this?

Dad, I'm your sister, man. I belong here with you.

You got a mother.

The boo huff is met in pool halls and a father who comes home every few years

like Crockwood.

And by the way, he's gone again.

Well,

I'm still putting you back on that bus to Pittsburgh.

You come by bus.

and lose my son.

Actually, I got thrown off the bus in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

I didn't mean to break that big front window, but the driver had no right

ripping off my radio.

Carly,

I grow to love you.

I can't take care of you.

Fine.

I can take care of myself.

Matter of fact, I already have a place to stay.

Strap my stuff to the back of your bike.

Uh -huh.

Why aren't you and Lance at Renoir's?

I called the owner and asked him to reserve table number one.

Well, I thought I'd put your letter files in order.

My former secretary ran my files like a Swiss railroad. I'm positive that

nothing is out of order.

I think we're moving too quickly with Lance.

With Lance, you have to hit hard and fast.

And for the time being, he is the only heir to Falcon Crest.

He's not just an heir. He's a human being.

Well, I want you to help him get over this terrible hurt and bring him back to

his grandmother who loves him.

There's nothing wrong with that.

No, there's nothing wrong with that. I'd just like to go at my own speed.

If you don't want to play with my rules, you're welcome to go back to the

convent.

But what if I were to fall in love with Lance?

It's fine with me.

As long as the word marriage is never mentioned.

I didn't believe it when I heard it.

I mean, books, movies, maybe, but not real life.

I just searched for some of the most gruesome stuff I have ever read.

Why don't you get some sleep?

Use my suite down the hall. I couldn't sleep, Richard.

You can try.

You know, in the old days, I felt this helpless. At least I'd be able to cry.

Now, what I want to do is just tear something apart. If reading that stuff

upsetting you, then don't read it.

What if Dimitrov hurts her? He won't.

How do you know that?

How?

It would lower her price.

Found something.

What?

I almost missed it. Looked at a microphone for four hours.

Dimitrov, six years ago, was in Seattle at some club when it got busted.

What club?

Some place called the Devon Club.

Devon? Yeah.

Wait a minute. I was just reading something about the Devon Club.

Oh, one of my reporters sent this up.

Right here, Devon Club. Private mansion in Seattle.

Favors foreign clientele membership fee. Look there, $20 ,000.

Maybe they'll give us a free introductory tour.

What you need is something to put on your gravestone.

How about a limerick?

What are you doing here?

There once was a nerd from L .A.

whose special effects made my day. Stay away from me.

He drove this girl mad.

And doesn't it sad?

No, no, no, don't.

But now Foster Glenn has to pay.

Don't.

No.

Get me a doctor. I must be bleeding somewhere.

I'll give you a choice, Mr. Special Effects Man.

Blank.

Either face criminal prosecution for what you try to do to me, or teach me

magic I can use on Angela Channing.

I have no idea what Melissa's going to do next.

Well, do you want me to pressure the appropriate authorities?

No, I've already done that.

Let's talk about your assignment.

My sword is drawn and I'm ready to march.

You remember Chase's codicil?

The one to be opened in case Maggie marries Richard?

Ah, and since the wedding is being planned... Well, I would like to have a

preview of the contents.

Unfortunately, his attorney bought a top -of -the -line safe.

Oh, I have several safe crackers in my Rolodex.

Well, I had something more subtle in mind.

I think this is it.

A lawyer requires legal secrecy.

Chase's lawyer, Lynn Potts?

Be sure you pick the right applicant for the job.

Shannon, don't quit your job.

I like waking up and knowing you're right downstairs.

Your grandmother is very hard to work for.

That's just part of her charm.

Besides, I have a really good feeling about us.

I just need a little more time.

Well, Dean is still on your mind.

You're a long ways from being ready.

I'm working on getting past.

Well, I think you're holding on to the memories okay.

I'll show you.

Look, I don't know that much about Loveland.

I've been without it for most of my life.

But when I'm with you, I get the feeling of what it could be like.

And that's why it's going to be very hard to leave this town.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, leave?

It was a mistake to come here.

Why? Why was it a mistake?

Tell me.

I can't. Because you have so many secrets, right, Shannon?

Look, I better go back to work.

Thank you for the picnic.

Richard, I don't know if I'm going to be able to... Welcome to the Devon Club.

Thank you.

My name is Roger McDonald, and you're the people with some business that I may

be interested in? Yes, we are. You've heard of Treasure Island, haven't you?

Well, we happen to own a pleasure island.

So you were saying.

It's complete with all the amenities, a hotel, a casino, and a very exclusive

guest list. People who don't like to hang out at the usual boring resorts.

we're looking for is a special kind of entertainment.

Are you a part of this venture, miss?

Could we just get down to business?

Certainly. Won't you come this way?

We have dozens of terrific girls, and they're all available on three - and six

-month options. No, no, no. We're not looking to lease. We're looking to buy.

You see, we're in the same business, only our wells run dry.

Oh, where do you get all your people from?

We heard about a man named Dimitrov.

Why don't you tell me who you really are?

My name is Richard Channing.

I'm the publisher and owner of the New Globe in San Francisco.

You're doing an expose?

Inside Seattle's private clubs? I wouldn't try it.

You tell us Dimitrov's location.

Are you going to have the New Globe, the FBI, and Interpol on your case, pal?

I've been to court 11 times.

And 11 times the charges have been dropped. I don't know where you get the

that I'm into selling little girls.

But you can't prove it.

Dimitrov has kidnapped my daughter.

Maybe she ran away.

No, she didn't run away.

You don't understand.

Don't be stupid, lady.

Look, I want her back. Get back.

Dammit, where is Dimitrov?

I don't know. Dammit, where is he?

Don't look at me, pal.

If I were you, I'd tell the lady what she wants to know. Where is he?

I don't know where Demetrius is, I swear.

He deals with the owner sometimes.

Who's the owner?

Who is the owner?

I can't tell you.

Yes, you can.

What's happening to me?

I don't like what I'm turning into.

I nearly shot that man.

Don't be long. I've got work for you.

Maggie.

Don't join my club.

The guilt and the self -loathing.

Don't do it.

Maggie, we've just taken a big step toward getting Vicky back.

We know the name of the company Dimitrov does most of his business with.

And McDonald's so scared.

You know he's not going to say anything. Richard, since I have been living with

you, something has happened to me.

I don't know. I don't know. I... I'm not myself. Nothing feels right.

I... Don't say anything else.

I know you're upset.

I put a gun in a man's ribs, Richard.

If it meant getting my daughter back, I would have killed him. You're allowed to

care, Maggie.

Sometimes when you care, you lose control.

It's human.

It's all my dark side, Richard.

It scared me.

I have a surprise for you. Wait till you see what I have done. Welcome home. Hi,

Angela. Oh, Dan, we've missed you so. I baked you a cabbage cake filled with

chestnuts. She locked me out of the kitchen.

Oh, great.

I got a surprise, too.

Where'd she go?

Carly!

Everybody, this is my half -sister, Carly Fix.

Is this place for real? I mean, it's like right out of Psycho.

How many bodies you got buried in the basement?

Frankly, my dear, I've lost count.

Ah -ah, cheating is a cry for help. It's also a great way to pay the rent. Pay

up. No way, new deal.

Melissa took an axe to your best cabernet. I don't believe it.

Well, with your aid, we could put her in an institution and get her some help.

I've been with her. She seems perfectly okay to me.

Dan, you've been away.

I've seen it all.

This girl is a ticking time bomb.

I'm a ticking time bomb?

Angela never gives up, does she?

Even at your welcome home party, she's bad -mouthing me. What about her spilled

cabernet?

I don't want to discuss it.

You know what Angela means to me.

That's why I'm not making any accusations that I can't prove.

Now, you just be patient with me, Dan.

Okay?

Okay.

Come on into the den.

I want you to meet Tuscany's newest rebel without a cause.

What?

You're Melissa?

Dan didn't tell me that you were like the sex goddess of the Western world.

Well, you're kind of cute yourself.

How long are you staying for? Who knows? Maybe forever.

She's leaving soon.

You two better get your story straight.

Dan, you're my brother.

Don't kick me out.

What are you going to do here?

Where are you going to stay?

Are you going to sleep on the floor of my cabin?

You can stay with me.

Hey, I wouldn't want to impose.

Watch. At all.

I'll go get the guest room ready.

Don't you want to think about this for a second?

It'll work out just fine.

This is great.

First I'm an only child, then I find out I have a brother, and now I have a big

sister.

Bad news.

Very bad news. The company name McDonald gave us leads directly to the 13.

What's that?

I never heard of them. Oh, just 13 of the most powerful men in the world.

Ruthless, multinational, above the law. Not the kind of team you'd challenge to

a softball match.

Where are they?

New York.

Let's take the red eye and nail them. Yeah.

500 commandos with chainsaws couldn't get these guys to so much as change

breakfast menu.

So what do we do?

Improvise. That's what I do, and I don't know what to do.

You want to wake her up?

No.

The car's just down the hall.

You look after her while we're gone.

I think you're making a mistake.

Hey.

What, you want them to say goodbye?

I just came to collect a few of my things. I didn't mean to disturb you.

Where will you go?

Look, I'm sorry I disappointed all of you. Thank you for everything.

Wait a minute, Shannon.

Wait.

Well, that's a miscalculation.

I'm not letting her go.

Have we come at a bad time?

Oh, no.

Welcome to Grand Central Station.

Follow me.

Shannon.

Shannon, you're running from something and I want to help you.

Why? Because I care.

Well, if you really care, then you'd let me go.

Is that what you think friendship is? Just letting go?

You're very unhappy and you're hiding something. You need to talk about it.

You need a friend.

You're just trying to save me because you couldn't save Dina.

Well, I don't want to be saved.

Okay, I'll let you go.

But not until you look at me.

Look at me.

Lance, I'm... I'm starting to fall in love with you, and if you knew the

you'd push me away.

You'd hate me.

Why?

Why?

Mrs. Channing, meet Clarice Porter, our successful secretarial candidate.

She starts work at Chase's lawyer's office this morning.

So fast.

Well, you must have had a very interesting interview.

We did our homework.

His last three assistants were all blonde, all tall.

Potts was a terrible sexist who preferred his women to dress trashy and

him. Classic, insecure, male authority figure.

Piece of cake.

Oh, Clarice is a friend of mine. She's just doing this as a favor.

You know what I want, don't you?

A copy of the wedding codicil to chase Gervardy's will. And the morality of it

doesn't bother you?

Morality?

I went to an Ivy League law school, Mrs. Channing.

I always say that a fine mind should never be wasted.

Well, at least I can work on my tropical tan.

A little hard work will be good for you. Oh, yeah, so it's two weeks in a world

-class resort.

Hey,

dig the tractor.

How about a ride?

It's Angela's. That road's the border with Falcon Crest.

Oh, man, I love that old lady. I bet she raised hell of my age. Hey.

That's the foreman, the guy in the hat.

Why don't you go over and tell him you're joining the work gang?

Time to hang with the gang.

Are you sure having her work for me is such a good idea?

One full day of hard work and she'll be begging to go home.

Before you meet the 13, we have to take a few precautions.

Hey, easy on the crease.

We hope you're not offended.

Next best thing to a sweetie's massage.

Print out of your various activities.

13 like to know who they're dealing with.

You sure it's all here?

That's just your domestic problem.

Hey, what the hell's going on here? Oh, sorry, Mr. Stappos.

The 13 are only willing to see Mr. Channing.

Still planning on improvising?

Whatever it takes.

Short of breaking into a tap dance.

Gentlemen, I ask you to help me bring my no -account future son -in -law, Eric

Stavros, into line.

Gambling debts, phony assassination.

But I did not expect things to get out of hand.

I deal with simple.

My West Coast influence in exchange for a small favor to help me instill some

backbone into Eric Stavros to make him fit to be a part of our family.

Except the man you hired, this slime Dimitrov, has kidnapped the daughter of

woman I love.

And unless he gives her back, he is going to find a storm in

his life.

A bloody hurricane which is going to rip and ruin until I've annihilated him.

I have not come here to make demands, gentlemen.

We all, every one of us, shares the guilt of endangering an innocent girl.

I need your help.

Now.

We no longer have an interest in protecting Dimitrov.

Not only is he depraved.

But we suspect he's been cheating on us for years.

I can't give you his head on a platter, Mr. Channing.

But if you'll bring your own sharp knife, I'll tell you where to find him.

That'll be fine.

You know, this room, it gives me a headache.

I'm going to send you some serious track lighting as a thank you.

Gentlemen, I think we should vote soon on replacing our deceased associate.

Perhaps Channing's name might be added to the list.

Assuming Dimitrov hasn't killed him first.

Workers of the world unite.

Come on, let's kick back and get some shade, all right?

Oh,

forget this, man.

Getting off this slave ship.

Charms.

To all men who are brought to their knees because of their weakness for

You know, I'm going to save this darling little codicil for some bedtime reading

in the event that Maggie marries Richards.

The copy was made where all the lawyers were at lunch. The operation went

perfectly. As long as Potts doesn't become suspicious when she leaves the

Mr. Potts has already fired me. Oh?

I managed to sit on his lap just as Mrs. Potts walked in.

Therese, you have won your page in the Falcon Crest scrapbook.

Call her friend, Allison. Ask her to look in on Maggie while we're gone. How

long do you think we'll be in Yugoslavia, sir?

I brought this on myself.

I've got to get that girl back soon. Richard.

Take this downstairs.

I want to go with you and Eric.

I thought we decided.

I am not going to lose control again if that is what you're worried about.

I mean, I don't want to make matters worse. She is my daughter, for God's

Hey, you're doing a number on yourself.

I know where she is. I'll get her back.

I promise you've just got to have some faith.

Anything what?

I don't know. Maybe I brought this on myself. Maybe it's something that I've

done. Maybe all this is happening to me.

Maybe... Okay,

okay, okay.

I'll stay, you're right.

Thank you, Richard.

Thank you, because I appreciate what you're doing. I really do.

I love you, Maggie Giaveri.

Nathan getting Vicki back.

You can dress me up like a princess, but I don't plan on kissing any of your

frogs.

You might be surprised to learn that our frogs have very few warts.

Petko, bring in our honored guest.

Don't you mean your first customer?

Look, you can behave with class and go for a caviar price. Or you can behave

badly. And go for a nasty bargain hunter with no appreciation of how to consume

a gourmet dish.

You're a revolting pig, Dimitrov.

Ah.

Mr.

Kumar, this is the goddess I've been telling you about.

What is your IQ?

My what?

I need to know your IQ.

Your highest level of university training and, of course, any specific

skills. Music, art, dance.

She is a dancer, Mr. Kumar. An excellent one.

Recanting on the dance of the seven veils, you can count me out.

I like her sense of humor.

What ballet companies would you rather see?

The Kirov?

Bolshoi? Actually, I prefer the American Ballet Theater.

Patriot.

I like that.

Let's see her without her clothes.

To reunite my land after all these years.

It's a miracle.

Charlie, lock that up in my bedroom safe.

Yes, Miss Channing.

I know you're here.

What do you want?

Listen, I'm going to wring your neck.

I don't know how you got in here, but I want you

out of my house.

Didn't you like the show?

It wasn't quite spectacular as the one that you gave me.

Oh, you are a maniac!

Only because you drove me to it.

What's wrong, Angela?

I'm sorry I found out about your evil little special effects man.

The next time I hire someone, I'll make sure he does the job right.

You really thought you were going to drive me mad? You belong in a padded

That's enough!

I didn't want to believe Melissa, but she insisted that I come here.

I love you like a mother, Angela.

But I can't forgive you for what you tried to do.

Dan, let me... It's too late.

You forced me to make a choice I never, ever wanted to make.

But, Dan... Well... Now we'll see who's the Queen of

Tuscany by the end of the year.
