Previously on Falcon Crest. I'll be leaving in ten minutes.

She had your baby. You don't think that I cared about her? You should have told

me. My down payment for the Purdy Harvest.

Could you please make sure that he gets it? Oh, Carly. Would there be a chance

of you delivering that check?

You mess things up, Melissa. You'll never talk to me again.

Dan. Do you have any idea what she did?

That's enough!

Stop!

Your red -hot catechol here. We've got to talk about this one.

Well, Archie.

Looks like there isn't going to be a wedding.

And tonight.

And if you're happy, then I'm very happy.

Bye, lady. A drink?

Stay away from my sister, Cubsman. Richard Channing is a dangerous man.

trust him. This fight is over Chase's land.

Love has nothing to do with it. Can't let that woman win.

Damn you, Richard.

And Angela both.

Pick up the challenge and the risk and marry Maggie.

I dare you.

Welcome to hell, Mr. Channing.

I'll be all right.

You must have hated me so much.

Oh, please, to give his land to Angela. He didn't trust me. He didn't trust my

judgment. Maggie, Chase didn't trust me.

He doesn't want me owning his land, owning his winery, marrying his wife.

What do we do?

If we get married, Angela inherits everything you own.

That's not the way you want to start out on your honeymoon, Angela. All right.

So?

Post -mortem wedding.

We'll bet.

Coddle's sold just a piece of paper.

There are bound to be loopholes in there. We'll find them.

I just had such hopes, you know? New beginnings and happiness and love and

whole enchilada.

You can still have all that.

Kelly,

get the guillotine out of the basement.

I want Eric Stavros' head on a platter.

As I recall, Mrs. Channing, you stole the car to school first. Charlie, have

combinations of both saves changed.

I've already arranged it.

Never trust an ex -husband's children.

One minute they're dining at your table, and the next minute they stab you in

the back with a steak knife.

Perhaps Richard and Maggie will decide to get married anyway. Oh, don't be a

romantic. This fight is over Chase's land.

Love has nothing to do with it.

Do you have any idea how much trouble you caused me today?

Oh, so big deal. I ruined a wedding, okay? They can get married tomorrow. Oh,

don't play stupid with me.

I am talking about the Purdy harvest.

Oh, so your precious Mr. Purdy doesn't have a sense of humor?

That's not my problem.

Oh, you're right. It's not your problem. I'm your problem.

Oh, you're gonna just sit there and let her threaten me now? Hey, you set me up.

I trusted you, and you've blown that trust.

Dan, wait.

Just be quiet a minute.

It's my fault, too. I mean, I bought her a line.

I apologize for both of us.

Come on, Dan.

Don't stick up for her. You're going to make things worse. The girl is a menace.

She's still my sister.

Is she more important to you than us?

Don't put me in that position, Melissa.

Yeah, Melissa, just give him a break, okay? He's a good guy. He doesn't

bamboo shoots under his nails.

So why don't I just make it easy on the both of you?

Where are you going in my robe?

Melissa, you can keep your stupid robe.

Silk gives me the hives anyway.

It's not your fault.

These things happen.

There always will be other weddings.

Is that why I'm crying?

This is.

Bye.

I thought you said you didn't do anything with Arthur.

I didn't.

He came on to me, pawing me, kissing me. He didn't want my help. He just wanted

my money, him and that sleazy wife.

Two million dollars.

It's a scam, Emma. Call the police.

I can't.

For the first time in my life, I have a job that I'm good at.

I'm rich. helping people, Curtis.

If the Habermas publish those pictures, all of that will be over. I'm going to

go to Richard for help.

No, don't do that.

Why not?

Look, Emma, that big story I've been working on is about Richard.

I've been doing research on him.

All I need is a few more pieces of evidence to put him in prison and win me

Pulitzer Prize.

Richard Channing is a dangerous man, Emma.

Don't trust him. I don't want to hear this.

He's my brother. Look, there are things about him you don't know.

Nobody knows.

But they will soon.

So please, don't go to Richard.

Why would you do something like... I mean, give me some kind of a reason I

live with, at least.

Maggie, I'm sorry.

Chase's discussions with me on this subject must remain strictly

What if Maggie contests the will?

Then be prepared to spend the next 20 years of your life in court, because

going to take about that long.

And the third codicil, the one to be open three months after we're married.

Maggie, I'm not at liberty to discuss the content. Oh, come on. Damn it,

Maggie's alive. Chase is dead. Doesn't that count for something? Of course it

does. But my job is to enforce Chase's last request.

Maggie, I am truly sorry about this.

But other than dragging this thing through the courts, there is absolutely

nothing you can do.

Well, we'll just have to see about that.

Lance, put that on the floor, please.

I thought you'd be happy to have me home. I am.

I'll take them upstairs.

I didn't realize how many things you'd taken when you left.

Well, Falcon Crest is now my base of operations, and I need all my

around me.

Dare I ask what operation you're talking about?

Don't worry, Grandma. The police won't be right in the house at all hours of

morning. Only once in a while.

What about your father and Shannon?

Any second thoughts?

You know something? That was a pretty slick move on your part, finding out

them before I did.

You would have been hurt a lot worse if I hadn't found out.

I guess I can always count on you to look out for my best interests, huh?

It's good to be home. Oh, well, I never thought I'd hear you say that again I

should

come back home more often What

is it

I'm going to be late.

Oh, the legal staff wants us both to write down everything we can remember

Chase around the time he was writing up these cartels.

Can't I wait until the morning, Mike? This is supposed to be the first night

our honeymoon.

I know.

I've got to keep searching, Maggie, because you know Angela's working just

hard to make sure we find nothing.

So have a nice long honeymoon.

Well, get home as soon as you can, all right?

All right.

I'll call you if it's not too late if I find anything. All right?

Get some sleep.

Save yourself the trouble.

Thank you for coming, Mr. Channing. You can skip the niceties.

It's late. I'm tired.

I function better on seven hours sleep.

Join us.

You've got a novel way of extending an invitation, but I suspect your

fees are a little too rich for my blood.

You own one of the most influential newspapers on the West Coast.

A town in Nevada, brimming with financial opportunity.

You're a former member of one of the most powerful cartels with the accent on

former.

You've already paid any membership fee the 13 might have expected from you.

Oh, is that so?

And gee, what do I get in return?

Free use of this branch office.

If you should... Decide to become one of us, Mr. Channing.

We can offer you wealth, influence, power.

More than you have now.

More than you ever dreamed of.

Think about it.

You'll be escorted back to your office now.

Your man will be freed.

We anxiously await your decision.

It's been, uh...

An experience, gentlemen.

Just think, Mr. Channing.

Anything you want.

Anything in the world.

Yours. All yours.

How about some more lights?

What was that for?

Because I love you.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

The feeling's mutual.

It is?

Of course.

You know, when Lance and I used to fight, he would always go sleep in

bedroom. I was Dina.

I was kind of surprised to see you still here.

The trouble I'm having with Carly doesn't stop me from loving you.

Wanting to be with you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. The feeling's mutual.

Well, I'm glad.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I missed you last night. Oh, well, why didn't you come home?

Too much work.

Oh, please, Richard.

I didn't sleep very well. I was up at 12. I was up at 2. I called you.

No answer.

I was down at the morgue doing some research.

Would you let the lawyers do that? Please, don't make this an obsession,

It's not. You're my obsession.

But your land is Angela's obsession.

You want her owning your land. If you do, we can drop the whole thing. Is that

what you want, Maggie? Of course not.

I told your secretary that I was your mother, and she let me come right

through. And may you choke on the word mother. What do you want?

Hello, Richard.

Hello, Maggie, darling.

You know, it was a lovely wedding.

What little there was of it. Say whatever you have to say, and then get

your broomstick.

Well, the wedding was so abrupt that I didn't have a chance to give you my

wedding present. Angela, there was no wedding, so we hardly expect a wedding

present. This is my pleasure.

Happy future wedding, Maggie.

$30 million.

What's this all about?

That's an awfully familiar figure.

It's the exact amount Maggie owes you.

Oh, I see. If we marry, you inherit not only my land, but my debts. That's much

easier for you.

Yeah, well, we don't accept brides, Mommy dear.

Well, then you're a fool.

Richard, you know, refusing that check was something that we both should have

decided.

It'll only be a day or two, Alyssa, and I really need your help.

Emma, they're not going to get away with it.

She doesn't deserve what she has. Of course she doesn't deserve it.

You can count me in.

Oh, thank you.

Okay, what's the plan?

Well, the hazel men seem to go for the shy, nice type. So I thought I'd put

hair out and give you a pair of glasses.

I don't wear glasses.

Okay, wait a minute, guys.

I think I got a better idea.

Excuse me, sugar.

Is this seat taken?

No.

It's all yours.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

I would like to order a vodka martini.

Very wet.

Stir it oh so gently.

The knives plump all up on top.

Yes, ma 'am.

There are no loopholes, Mrs. Channing. Your nephew has created an airtight

codicil.

Chase would never leave me everything out of the goodness of his heart. He

me too much.

There must be a kicker.

What about the third codicil?

Clarice Porter looked everywhere for it. It wasn't with the one she copied.

And now, Lynn Potts has moved everything to a vault.

We'll never get our hands on it.

Never say never.

Then perhaps we can...

Delay the wedding further until I figure out a way of obtaining the last

codicil. No, just let them get married.

As long as I have Chase's land, I can handle anything he has in store for me.

You are so beautiful.

It's only because you make me feel that way.

Oh.

Your wife must be crazy to let you out of the house all by yourself.

Well, I'm not married.

I don't believe you.

It's true. There's no other woman in my life.

Except my sister.

Your sister?

Bernice. We live together.

There's money that way.

Hmm.

You're poor.

Yeah, but I won't be for long.

Bruce and I have got something going.

Something that will make us a lot of money.

I love men with money.

They're so sexy.

How much?

Have you been to the bank yet?

Get out of my office.

You know, I... I was just thinking of taking these to the rival paper.

What do you think of this headline?

Ask Emma, and she'll show you how.

Look, you want my money?

Just tell me when, where, but stop bothering me.

All in good time.

Oh,

we do.

I'm sure they'd just love to see how their resident advice columnist lets

hair down during off hours.

you, woman.

Don't forget, I have the negative.

You have a problem, Emma?

Hi.

My friend was just leaving.

Nice to see you again, Emma. I'll be in touch.

I'm fine.

It's late.

Time to go home.

I'll go get the car.

Oh, well, don't take too long, because I'll miss you already.

I'm afraid he must have been mistaken with someone else. Oh, come on, Melissa.

I came here to see you. I've been looking everywhere for you.

You know, if I would have known, I was looking for the blonde bimbos. Would you

just be a nice little juvenile delinquent and go home?

Melissa, I came to apologize about the pretty harvest.

Just stay out of my life and stay out of the mags.

You're under eight, little girl.

Buy a lady a drink?

What's your name?

Carly.

I'm Lance.

We can do this any way you want.

Because all I care about is making you happy.

And if you're happy...

I hope you don't have any plans for the rest of the evening.

Just keep the wig on.

Okay.

I got a terrific idea.

I need a terrific idea. I need any idea.

All right.

You ready for this?

Total... Impulse. We forget all our problems.

All right.

This is the picture. A ladder leans up against the window. Two people very

carefully down the ladder. Boom. We're out of here. Escape to Tahoe. I've got

find a loophole in this thing at first. I can't. My lawyers haven't found any.

Richard, you are missing the point, darling. The point is we forget the

It doesn't exist.

I forget the codicil. Dear old Angela inherits everything you own. Can you

with that? Yes, I can.

You are the one who has decided that we can't marry. You have decided that

Angela gets the check back.

These don't matter to me. I love you. I want to marry you.

We can't give up that easily.

You can't. I can.

I can, and that is my decision.

But it's not mine.

Damn you, Richard, and Angela Post.

Welcome back, Mr. Channing. Thank you.

What can I do for you this evening?

Or perhaps you've reached a decision.

As a matter of fact, I have.

First of all, I would like to thank you for asking me to join your little group.

And I would be honored to become a member.

You've made the right choice.

Welcome to hell, Mr. Channing.

Oh, my apologies, sir. I didn't mean to surprise you.

It's all right.

I've brought you some breakfast, sir.

I've got to get up. It's late.

Mrs. Chilperty left very early this morning. She said she had an errand to

Charlie, I'm going to serve my father's 1948 Cabernet for dinner in celebration

of Lance's return to Falcon Crest. That would be lovely.

Chase always said you had the best private reserve in the country, Angela.

He was right.

Of course, he always thought his would be better.

In time.

Never. Personally, it never really mattered much to me.

I was never particularly interested in wine. Before I moved here, I guess I

hardly knew the difference between Chardonnay and Cabernet.

But I've learned.

Well, perhaps Chase has given you something you've always wanted. A

to get out of the wine business.

Perhaps he did.

And believe me, I won out.

I am sick to death of this endless feud between you and Richard.

My God, the man is your son and you treat him like he has some kind of

contagious disease.

Maggie, I have tried. Then try harder.

Look, you wanted this wedding.

Now it's not going to happen because of you.

You want to reunite your family?

Then go to your son and prove to him that you love him. You want my winery?

Work for it.

Guess who I just ran into?

Hi, Carly. How are you? How are you? Fine, thanks, man. And you? I just ran

Sheriff Buckland.

And he asked me how I felt about my sister paying off her debt to society by

putting in 70 hours' work.

Working for Angela Channing. I thought you'd be happy that she wasn't throwing

me back in jail.

At least jail would keep you out of trouble.

And now I know who fed you those stories for Purdy.

We were only trying to save you from Melissa and a life of never -ending

But... You don't want our help.

I'm not finished yet.

Well, you know what?

I'm going to somebody that really appreciates me.

You're going back to those juvenile delinquents again? Oh, please.

Maybe it's all of them.

I met an older guy.

Somebody who really knows how to turn on a woman.

Who is he?

Oh, well, he's got a body like a donut.

And when we dance, low dance.

I don't know.

Lance just makes me hot all over.

Lance. Oh, Lance, come.

I suppose I should be surprised.

It's been exactly a year.

I miss him.

So you're still living in Chicago?

No. I moved to New York six months ago.

A friend and I opened our own wine shop. Oh, congratulations.

Thank you.

And to you, I heard about your marriage to Richard.

The papers sort of jumped the gun there. He decided to wait.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I mean, if that's what you want.

No, it's not what I want.

Chase left a codicil to his will, leaving his land to Angela if we

Chase had his reasons.

Name one.

Right before he died, Chase learned something about Falcon Crest.

He wouldn't tell me what.

But he created a last codicil to his will.

Something that will destroy Angela and Falcon Crest.

You're serious?

I was with him when he met with Len Potts about it.

Chase took care of Angela.

He was sure of it.

Richard Channing, please.

What's going on with Carly? Oh, never mind. I'll call him back.

Well, hello, Dan. Nice to see you.

Would you like some tea? Look, she's only 18 years old. What are you trying

do, turn her into an Angela Channing clone?

Oh, you're overreacting.

Carly's only handling some of my personal problems.

Yeah, like splitting me and Melissa up?

I know you bought the Purdy Harvest.

Well, it was available, and it was a good business deal. What's wrong with

Scooping with Melissa's head wasn't enough.

Now you have to mess with my kid sister?

Well, forget it.

She doesn't work for you anymore.

Then she'll go back to jail.

I really liked you, lady.

I thought we were friends. Sorry I was wrong.

Hey, I thought I heard a familiar voice down here.

Look, you can't let Grandma... You stay away from my sister,

Compton.

I'm not that kind of girl, Arthur.

You're a very sweet man, Arthur.

But if you just want me for my body, then I'm afraid we're going to have to

separate ways.

No! I mean, there's something special about you.

Please, don't go.

Then make me happy, Arthur.

Make me rich.

Or would you rather spend the rest of your life living with your sister?

I'm about to make two million dollars.

We can share it.

Change the editorial meeting to 1 .30. We'll have lunch brought in.

Did you hear that?

Yes, sir.

Good morning. Good afternoon.

Your secretary said I could wait.

She did, huh?

I needed to talk to you privately.

It's about taking time off to do research on a project I've been working

Yeah, well, I think you ought to take a lot of time off, Mr. Brooke. I've been

reading some of your articles, and they are skimpy at best.

I don't know where your mind's been, but it certainly hasn't been on your work.

Oh, it certainly isn't on my work.

You just haven't seen all of it yet. Good.

Mrs.

C?

No wonder this paper is such a rag.

Nobody likes working on it. Oh, this gets to be a habit. What do I owe the

of this visit?

Richard, you'd never been a man to run away from a fight. Now, why are you

becoming such a coward?

Calling your son names.

Mary Maggie.

Oh, I get it.

Angela Channing, matchmaker, goddess of love and romance. You missed out on the

opportunity to cry at our wedding. Now, you know Chase would never give me his

land. He has something else in store for me.

So pick up the challenge and the risk and marry Maggie.

I dare you.

Channing, here.

I, uh, have a proposition for you.

Oh.

On the house.

Did I really do that?

Yep.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

What'd I do this time?

You bought my kid sister a couple of drinks.

That's a crime?

She's 18.

Oops. Oops.

When did I commit this felony?

Last night.

Last night.

Carly?

Carly's your sister?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

I'm sorry, I had no idea. I know.

I know, after I calmed down, she and I had a long talk.

This time she didn't exaggerate.

I'm surprised you didn't take my hat off.

I tried.

It's not worth it.

Not for any woman.

I guess.

Listen, you tell her when she's 21 she can call me.

Maybe not.

Yes.

I know that road.

I'll be there in an hour.

With the money.

Bring the negative.

I'm having a little trouble with a codicil.

I'm listening.

My lawyers claim that it's airtight.

It must be revoked. The sooner the better. I have no desire to spend the

my life in court.

And the name of the man who wrote this codicil?

Chase G. Barney.

It will be taken care of.

When it has, we'll talk membership.

Thank you.

200 bucks.

More than enough to get you home.

I can't leave.

They're coming down with guns and bloodhounds. I'm an escaped criminal.

Don't worry about it. I'll talk to the judge.

Now, I called your Aunt Mona.

She's going to be waiting for you when the buck gets in.

She sounds like a really nice lady, Carla.

You'd be really happy with her. I was happy here.

But getting arrested for stealing tractors?

Working for Angela Channing?

I like being here with you, Dan. I like having you as my brother.

I'm not falling for that poor, pitiful me act again.

I gave you more chances than you deserved.

No, you didn't.

And if you really liked me, you wouldn't be sending me away.

Harley.

Harley, I do like you.

You think you're a bit hasty buying the tickets, darling? We don't have the

money yet.

Well, I like to do things on impulse, Artie. You should know that by now.

Did you bring the negatives with you? Right here.

Denise thought we ought to keep them even when we get the money. Ask Emma is

loaded. We could spend the rest of our lives in Bermuda. Ooh, what a fabulous

idea. Why don't you give me the negatives?

I mean, she'll never guess I have them.

All right.

Well, if you don't trust me, I... I think we should forget the whole thing

now, and you tell the limo to drop me right here, and you can take Bernice to

Bermuda. No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry.

Here, take them, please.

I'm sorry.

We are going to have such a good time.

I've never flown first class before.

We have a favor to perform for Mr. Channing.

He's having a little problem with a codicil.

I'm afraid that will have to wait. It can't.

If we want to see Richard Channing sitting in the 13th chair, we need to

him out in this matter.

Mr. Channing has more important problems than codicils at the present moment.

He's got a shadow.

A potentially dangerous shadow.

Well, then take care of it.

Richard Channing's too good an asset to lose.

Just give me the negatives, take the money, and go.

Oh, I can't do that, Emma.

Arthur has the negatives. I just wanted to make sure that you had the money

before we gave them to you.

No negatives, no money.

We can handle all this in the car, dear.

Car? What car?

Oh, you're seeing us off at the airport.

There's Arthur.

Who are you?

Artie. You didn't tell her?

There never seemed to be a good time.

Arthur, who is this creature?

I'm not splitting my money with your sister, Artie. I thought we settled

Sister? I thought you were married.

Let's see.

Two million dollars split three ways.

We'll work this out, sweetheart. I promise.

Um, three's a crowd, Arthur.

Ask Emma Says.

Drop your sister. The blonde's a better bet.

Who asked you? Just give me the money and shut up. Hey!

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Who are you?

Who I am is not necessarily important.

So why don't we all just sit back, relax, enjoy the ride.

I'm sorry, Artie. I forgot to tell you that this trip isn't non -stop.

I figure the nearest town

is about, oh, ten miles from here.

Here's a quarter for a phone call.

And have a nice day.

Is Jenning your cause pulled around front?

Lance, dare I ask what you're doing in that?

Don't worry, Grandmother.

I'll change for dinner.

Well, I certainly hope so.

We're having a guest for dinner. She's going to be with us for a couple of

And I want you to treat her like family.

Sure. Your relatives are my relatives.

It smells great. I am so sick of pork and beans.

Well, you're just in time. Dinner's almost ready.

Oh, Carly, I want you to meet my grandson, Lance Compson.

Lance, this is Carly Fix, Dan's sister.

Hi.

Hi.

It's a pleasure, Lance.

Yeah. A real pleasure.

Oh, yes.

Still nothing?

No.

There are no loopholes.

Chase knew what he was doing. I'm beginning to think Len Potts' estimate

years in court was an understatement.

I ran into Gabrielle Short today. She's back in town for a while.

She said that Chase created the third codicil to destroy Angela.

I mean, she's...

Never seen it, but she was pretty sure.

Maybe he figured out a way to give Angela the new globe. She'd be so

with owning everything, she'd have a stroke.

I love you.

Do you remember when Cole was in the hospital?

Three, four years back?

Everybody was in the waiting room, and I was...

Honestly concerned about him.

I rushed out to the hospital. I don't know.

Expressed my concern.

And nobody believed me.

Except you.

That was when I first knew I was in love with you.

I was so jealous of Chase.

Having you.

You can still have that.

Oh, I hope I've saved the best part of me for you.

I do want to change.

But I'm going to need your help.

Always, always, always.

Will you marry me?

Richard.

I love you.

I love you.

Do you, Maggie, take Richard to be your lawfully wedded husband?

For richer, for poorer?

sickness and in health till death do you part?

I do.

And do you, Richard, take Maggie to be your lawfully wedded wife, for richer or

for poorer, sickness and in health till death do you part?

I do.

Well, if there's anyone present who can say why this couple should not be joined

in matrimony, let him speak now or forever hold your peace.

May we have the rings, please?

With this ring, I thee wed.

With this ring, I thee wed.

Now by the power vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Make us the bride.

Mr. Channing.

Mr. Channing.

Congratulations. That was beautiful.

Yes, it was beautiful.

I know they predicted thunderstorms, but I hope your marriage will be as sunny

as this day has turned out to be. How did you find out?

It pays to know people in high places.

Not even you can ruin this day.

Catch!

Next on Falcon Crest.

You're going to spend your honeymoon at Falcon Crest. Isn't this thrilling?

I've come up with a mystery game.

It's called Murder at Falcon Crest.

I thought this came.

Take your clothes off now!

Maggie?

He's not the only one that's missing.
