All language subtitles for Falcon Crest s07e20 Channing vs Channing

Previously on Falcon Crest. I'm only
telling you what Frank told me. He has

something that belongs to the Agretti
family and he just may keep it himself.

Take me with you. I'll prove to you I'm
a real Agretti.

They took the bait. They are both in
police custody.

Curtis was killed by an intruder. That
Richard was behind this thing 100%. I'm

suing for visitation rights as Michael's
paternal grandmother.

Maggie.

And tonight.

Oh, my God, what's happened to him? I
don't know. I was buying Michael a toy,

and he was standing right next to me. I
think Angela Channing's out to destroy

my family. I am a grandmother, and I am
entitled to see my grandson.

The man is my husband.

It doesn't make a medicine.

You don't argue. You walk away, and you
do exactly what you want, and to hell

with everybody else.

Are you sure you're not drinking
something besides water?

If he gets too close to the truth.

You will have to kill him you don't care
about family. You don't have a

sentimental bone in your body

It's over.

It's over before it gets any worse.

I'm sorry you didn't clean.

I'm all right.

You scared me.

I scared myself.

You want to talk about it?

Stupid.

It's just stupid.

I suppose I'm lucky the hospital didn't
make me stay all night.

How's your head? No, I'm... What do you
tell me?

Don't shut me out.

What's wrong?

Is it me?

Did you send money to Africa to keep
John Remick away from me?

Who told you that?

You heard it from an ex -mercenary, a
friend of John's.

I love you, and I'm not going to risk
losing

you.

Not for Remy, not for anyone.

Poor Maggie.

I thought if anybody could change
Richard, she could. Nobody changes

Channing but Richard Channing.

Well, maybe he'll learn a little
humility when he's forced to let me

Michael. Just be careful.

I'm finding things out about Richard
that even you wouldn't believe.

I hardly believe he's my son.

Then why don't you just let it go?

Because Michael's my grandson.

I can't give him up.

Promise me you won't get hurt.

I'm going to Emma's office today. Maybe
I can find something that Estabrook hid.

Then I'm going to the Justice
Department.

Well, good luck.

Oh, and Lance, promise me that you won't
get hurt.

I won't.

We shoot trespassers, you know.

Guess I'm gonna have to call my hired
gun.

Unless you vacate the premises, and
while you're at it, stop spreading

rumors about me to my wife.

Is that a threat, Richard?

Yeah.

You're getting too close to the truth.
About what? Truth.

About Emma.

About how you hurt your own sister.

You know, Lance...

You probably think you look pretty good
walking around in white armor, but

that's an awful lot of heavy metal to
carry around.

A fella could fall over and get hurt.

Badly.

As long as I can take you with me, it'd
be worth it.

If an experienced detective couldn't
find Red McLance, what makes you think

you can?

Because Richard could buy anyone off
except me.

Lance, you know, I really think that you
should just stop this before somebody

else gets hurt.

That's funny. That's what Richard said.

You've talked to him about this?

Yes, I did.

He's not that thrilled about me being
involved in this either.

The man has not been charged with
anything.

That Interpol agent's death was
considered an accident. Now, why can't

accept that? Can you?

Can you? Remick's disappeared, Emma was
attacked, and Curtis was killed.

Now Richard is the key. For God's sake,
Lance, the man is my husband.

It doesn't make him innocent.

I'm sorry, Maggie.

But I can't stop now.

We agreed to table the Australian labor
problem to Monday.

However, that little affair in the
Mediterranean is causing much confusion

our government.

Mr. Norstedt, please make sure that both
sides maintain equal arms and supplies.

I'd like the confusion to continue.

Mr. Channing, a page one column in both
your newspapers on this issue would help

sway the public in our favor. Sorry, Mr.
Rosemont, but the publisher reserves

the right.

publish whatever he pleases.

After looking at our research, it might
please you to take a stand on this

issue. And then you might want to
highlight it on the news programs of

television stations.

Don't tell me you've waved your magic
wand and presto, all my wishes have just

come true.

Almost.

A friend of yours can finally be
persuaded to sell his stations to you

right price.

I see.

Can never be too rich or have too many
empires. Right, gentlemen?

Right.

So that's my legacy.

A map.

Our legacy. I'm going to give it to you
because I'm such a nice uncle.

Nice?

It's a good thing I forced you to take
me with you.

Otherwise you would have stolen whatever
that map leads to and I would have

never known about it.

I came back here to give it to you.

You wanted no part of it or me,
remember?

The only thing you... want is something
for yourself.

You don't care about family. You don't
have a sentimental bone in your body.

Not sentimental.

It's logical.

Don't want you to get the snake bit
holding me up. The thing that was right

to me.

They live here. We don't. We're the ones
trespassing.

You okay?

No, I am not okay.

And how come you're so calm?

Oh, don't pick it up!

Oh, don't bother me, snakes.

I'm going to die anyway.

No wonder you needed help.

Wait a minute. Cole made this. I'll put
it somewhere where you will never see it

again.

Is it that tough?

I guess it's just a... You know, a whole
period of adjustment.

New marriage, new house.

Oh, and Richard isn't around as much as
you thought he'd be.

And this visitation business and
fighting with Angela.

Allison, I drank so much last night,
I... I fell down, hit my head, ended up

the hospital with a couple of stitches.

Oh, Maggie.

No, it's all right. It's all right.

Believe me, it's the best thing that
could have happened. It's cured me of

drinking. You don't understand.

Angela's lawyer subpoenaed me. I have to
testify about your fitness as a parent.

When did this happen?

This morning.

I don't think you should be telling me
about your drinking problem.

Mrs. Channing?

Yes? Forgive the interruption. This is
Ms. Nelman. She has an appointment with

Mr. Channing. I thought perhaps you
could wait in here.

Yes, of course, ma 'am.

What is this about?

I'm with Child Welfare, Mrs. Channing. I
was appointed by the court to interview

your husband.

To find out why he's refused to let
Angela Channing visit her grandson.

Oh, sorry I'm late.

Hope I haven't missed anything here.

Hi, I'm Richard Channing. Patricia
Nelman.

Richard Channing is guilty of sin.

Also one of the most powerful men on the
West Coast.

So you won't start an investigation
without proof.

What about Westcott's evidence?

You told me yourself he's a crazy
mercenary.

A good defense lawyer would decimate his
testimony in seconds.

What about other witnesses to
corroborate Westcott's story?

Please excuse my junior associate's
enthusiasm.

She doesn't usually make uncalled -for
suggestions.

Wait a minute. She's got a point. There
has to be other witnesses.

Now, I just need the department's
resources to help me find them. Mr.

you are tilting at windmills.

Fine. Find a proof of my own.

Good luck.

Mr. Compson, please, wait up.

I want to apologize for my boss's bad
manners.

Have a mint?

No, thanks.

You really believe that Channing is
behind the arms shipment to Africa,

you? Yeah, I know it.

Then let me help you.

Why? Well, because I think you have a
case, and if I'm right, Peters will have

to promote me.

Besides, I just quit smoking a week ago,
and if I don't find something to keep

me busy, I'll go nuts.

Well, we can't have that happen now, can
we?

No.

All right.

Pitching business is a pleasure.

I'm playing against you with it. Go on.
All right, I got another game.

I take all the risk.

You go home with a ten -gallon and a
half stuffed with money.

We're capitalists, Ricky. Taking risk is
half the fun.

You can have a lot of fun with ten
million dollars.

Sorry, buddy.

Remember to do business with friends I
have over for chili.

I hear you're building all these

houses on an old military testing site.
Is that right?

Yeah.

Probably on the up and up tent, but it'd
be a doggone shame, you know.

People start reading stories in the
paper how their homes could glow in the

dark.

How'd you hear about that?

An unimpeachable source.

Come on now, you know you lose a hell of
a lot more than ten million. Folks

don't buy those houses.

Fatso.

If the game over, I'll have my lawyers
drop the contract.

They were like, tell me anyway.

I didn't know Richard had you on his
payroll.

Oh, come on. I mean, he's cute, but he's
no Lance. Keep your shirt on.

I have no intentions of taking my shirt
off.

Well, too bad, because I bet you have a
great bod.

Don't change the subject.

What are you interested in in my address
book?

God, Ange, I'm not, like, stealing state
secrets or anything.

Can't we have a little trust here?

No.

Well, I've got a little surprise for
you.

And if you promise to be a good little
matriarch, maybe I'll fill you in one of

these days. And if I don't like it, I
have a very big surprise for you.

You surprise me.

I thought everybody in the Justice
Department wore three -piece suits and

like Elliot Ness.

Oh, I hate authority figures.

And deep down, I'm a bit of a rebel.
Every once in a while, it just flips

Yeah, like in Peter's office, huh?

Hmm. That's why we're talking here.

Peter doesn't trust me.

I gather that you don't trust him much
either.

Yours isn't the first interesting case
he's turned down.

The guy's a classic burnout.

Troubles a few papers, collects a nice
salary, and doesn't look for trouble.

What kind of trouble do you think we can
get into?

I mean on the case.

Richard.

Lots.

But we'll do this secretly.

If Peters finds out I'm going behind his
back, my whole career is over.

I still can't figure out something.

Why are you so anxious to help me?

I like my job, Lance.

And I like going after the bad guys.

Silly as it sounds.

That doesn't sound silly.

Not at all.

So what's our game plan for Richard?

I'll see what I can dredge up from the
computers.

Can you meet me tomorrow?

Sure. Anytime.

Great.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Did you at least get a second opinion?

What do you figure?

Belt or a hat man? You got a nice little
waist, just like your mother.

Come on, Frank.

You're not the type of man to just sit
around and do nothing.

What about other specialists, different
treatments?

I think a hat man. You got plenty of
belts on.

Uncle Frank, would you please talk to me
about this?

You want to soft on me, kid? Call me
Uncle Frank.

I'll come.

I got six months, having fun, living it
up.

Or I got two years of lying on a
hospital bed with tubes up my nose.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to make me about.

I hope it's been made clear to you what
I've been going through lately.

Don't come in here!

You know, I just adore having children
in the house.

I'm sorry your son and daughter -in -law
don't believe that.

Well, Richard and Maggie think I killed
Bambi's mother.

Actually, you're not far off.

How well do you know your daughter -in
-law?

Oh, I helped her adjust when she and her
late husband came to the Valley about

seven years ago.

Did she have a drinking problem then?

Well, we, um... We don't talk about
that.

I see.

Well, Mrs. Channing, if it were up to
me, I'd recommend you visit Michael more

than once a month.

I'd make sure you got to see him as
often as possible.

I can't tell you how happy that makes
me.

I can't wait to buy him a whole big box
of toys.

Oh, all right. You are amazing. I don't
know how you can eat. I am so nervous. I

could just... I was hungrier than
nervous.

Oh, don't worry. I've taken care of
Angela.

How? How? The judge makes his ruling
about visitation tomorrow.

What... Look at that.

Where did all the money go?

Gubernatorial candidate Ambrose
unable...

To account for campaign funds.

Is this true?

It's in the paper, isn't it?

Of course it's true.

I don't think it's going to stop Angela.

It's just a temporary measure. We know
she's got him in her pocket.

At least this will discredit Ambrose as
presiding judge in case we have to

appeal.

I hope you're right.

Oh, God, I could use a... Hey.

Do you know that the healing powers of
milk...

Are known all over the world?

Honey, I'm sorry. I really am. I know
I'm not making this any easier for you.

Thank you.

I just want you to relax.

Here.

Come on.

You know, it occurs to me that I don't
think Angela would be a great influence

on Michael or anybody for that matter.
But one day, a month, I mean, what could

that do?

Are we talking about the same person,
Angela Channing, the Wicked Witch of the

West?

Do you have any, um, I don't know, water
cells or something like that? I sure

do.

Have you ever thought about getting some
help?

Richard, I am fine. I'm fine. I just...
At least I will be once this visitation

business is over.

You'll be.

Richard Channing is going to be trouble.

Well, you didn't think Richard was going
to host your inaugural ball, did you?

I've been a real patsy, haven't I,
Angela?

You can blackmail me into making any
decision you want. As long as it's the

right decision.

And I have the right to visit my
grandson.

Legally, I don't know if your case is
strong enough.

I may not be able to grant you
visitation rights.

Need I remind you of how much money I've
donated to your campaign for governor?

I'd be delighted to give it back.

Well, it's a little late for that.

Didn't it all go for that cozy little
condo down in Palm Springs?

Or was it the beautiful Mercedes that
people see your wife driving around in?

That's none of your business.

Of course it is.

Now, you have a decision to make. And
for all of our sake, I hope you make the

right one.

You know, I got a feeling we're getting
close.

Hobarts. It doesn't exactly sound like a
place built with buried treasure.

You figure that's what we're looking
for.

Oh, you said you had an heirloom for me.
Oh, wait a minute. My grandfather was a

10 -isle old codger when he passed the
map on to my dad.

And he kept, you know, raving and
raving. Which way?

Oh, that way. He kept raving and raving
about the fact that this would change

our whole lives.

As far as I know, he's maybe looking for
a legacy that's a handful of rocks. Oh,

that's a pleasant thought.

If you want to go back, it's a hell of a
walk.

Forget it.

You know what just struck me? What if we
don't find anything at all? Not even

rocks.

At least we had fun, right?

Yes, you are in a gritty.

Oh, boy. Looks like we made it.

So it's not the ties from the hall.

Give me that.

Well, well, look who's here.

Thought you'd be in the judges' chambers
already playing footsies with his

honor. Richard, this is your last
chance.

Now, I'll call off the suit if you'll
just let me visit with Michael.

Not even if hell freezes over. Please,
honey, we could settle this right now.

You're married to a very smart lady.

Can't we just sit down and talk about
it? Maggie's right.

Let's call it a truce.

Yeah, you'd be waving a white flag in
one hand and a hand grenade in the

Would you just give her a chance? What
kind of chance did she give me?

Her son died 45 years ago.

I'm sorry, I really am.

More than I.

Go on, Mrs. Hellman.

Your Honor, it's not the quality of the
home that matters.

It's the quality of the people in the
home that counts.

Michael Channing should not be raised to
hate his grandmother.

Richard found out that Angela was his
mother about a year ago.

He went to her. He asked her to forget
the past, to let him be part of the

family.

And she rejected him.

I guess, you know, you could say she's
my enemy.

She also happens to be my mother.

But, hey, that could happen to the best
of us.

I'm willing to change.

She isn't. And I guarantee you, she is
going to pass her hatred of me down to

son. Maggie loves Michael as if he were
her own.

And Richard's a good father.

Weren't you at Michael's birthday party
a few months ago? You've never seen a

more loving family.

My son is so loving that he wouldn't
even invite me to my grandson's birthday

party. Now, you can imagine how that
hurt me.

But I went anyway.

And I took him a cuddly little puppy.
You see, Richard thinks the only thing

that matters to me is land or grapes.

Well, he's wrong.

I am a grandmother, and I am entitled to
see my grandson.

Now, that's all I ask.

I've heard all the testimony, and I'm
ready to make a ruling.

It's my decision that the best interest
of the child, Michael Channing, the

hesitation rights be granted to his
grandmother, Angela Channing.

Once a week, starting Saturday.

The farce. You've accomplished nothing.

Honey, it is not the worst thing that
could happen.

And I'll be with him every minute of the
visit. I'll just...

Talk to me, Richard.

I know this makes you unhappy.

Maggie, I'm fine.

Look, it's going to work out all right
because this is what she's going to do.

She's just going to spoil him rotten.
She's going to give him ice cream. She's

going to give him cake. He'll never want
to... Leave her.

Richard, you know what I meant. That's
not what Angela wants.

Oh, Maggie.

That's exactly what she wants. You'd
love it.

Can you honestly believe otherwise? Yes,
I can.

Oh, God, Richard, when is this going to
stop?

One visit a week is not going to ruin
Michael, and I don't want to spend the

rest of our lives arguing about this.

I'm not arguing. Of course you're not
arguing, because you don't argue.

You walk away, you do exactly what you
want, and to hell with everybody else.

Is that what you think?

Richard, when has it been otherwise?

You know what I'm waiting for? I'm
waiting to find out what revenge you

planned for Angela. What is it going to
be? A little more toxic?

Waste dumping or poisoning your wines or
what?

Are you sure you're not drinking
something besides water?

Maybe I need to drink something besides
water if I'm going to live with you.

Can you imagine Emma saving all of these
toys?

Probably for her own children.

You know, I think that Michael would
enjoy playing with some of these. I'm

Emma wouldn't mind.

You know, it'll be such fun to hear the
pitter -patter of little feet around

here again.

Mr. Channing, Investigation 5284.

This is all old stuff. This is the
racetrack, the cartel.

We need something new.

There's nothing recent on Channing worth
pursuing.

What about bank statements?

Hmm?

There has to be a record of him sending
money to Africa.

Sorry. The guy is so clean you can see a
reflection in his face. Well, that's

not good enough.

Well, maybe it has to be. Maybe you're
wrong about him.

I'm not wrong about him, Catherine. The
man's a murderer.

And I'm not going to believe the garbage
that some computer prints out.

All right, then I'll dig deeper.

Find what?

It's just going to tell us what he wants
it to tell us.

Okay.

I'll follow Channing.

See where he leads us.

There you go. Now you're onto something.

Okay, I'll back you up.

Absolutely not.

Why? If he spots you, we're both
history.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Tell you what he's up to.

You be careful now.

Hey, I just quit smoking. I think my
self -destructive days are over.

Thank you.

What's up?

Look at me.

If you beat any goats, they'll have some
stories to tell about this place, huh?

Yeah, for other ghosts and snakes
anyway.

You know, they used to hide illegal
whiskey somewhere around here during

Prohibition. Is that what we're looking
for, Al Capone's vault?

What vault?

Years ago, there was a big bank hide.

What is it?

What have you figured out?

Melissa!

Mr. Chen.

It's all right. Come in.

Well, according to the latest polls,
Judge Ambrose is trailing far behind in

campaign for governor.

Never underestimate the power of the
press, guys.

He can do more damage to a man's career
in one headline than he can do to

himself in 40 years.

Yes, sir. Now, if we could only get the
same kind of information on Angela

Channing, then the court would never
allow her to visit Michael.

Well, maybe we can make something up,
huh?

Richard? Excuse me.

I'm sorry, but the mail came. There was
a postcard from Vicki and Eric.

They're doing Paris, London, Rome, the
whole grand tour.

I thought you might like to see it.

I don't know where they got the money
unless they robbed a bank.

Yeah, well, if I pay Eric a damn good
salary, he must be spending it all.

Well, sounds like they're having a good
time.

I'm going to go downstairs and finish
discussing dinner with Mrs.

Raynor. I thought we might grill some
salmon outside, if that's okay with you.

Just Jim Dandy with me, whatever.

Garth, I... Oh, I do not expect to dine
with the family, Mrs. Channing.

London Postmark?

Vicki's handwriting?

Well, the man I use is the best, sir.
Now, every few days, Mrs. Channing will

get another postcard from her daughter
from yet another city.

So as long as she doesn't find out her
daughter and son -in -law are

in a Swiss prison, neither one of us
will be dining with the family.

Yes, sir.

It's Catherine.

I've got some news for you. What is it?

Not over the phone and not in my office.

Can you meet me at Laban's Delicatessen?
It's on the corner of Hanson and

Calloway in an hour. Laban's in an hour.
You got it.

Psst, Lance.

Not now, Carla. No, no, I need to talk
to you just for a second.

I'm not going to jump your bones or
anything.

One second.

Guess what's tomorrow.

Second's up.

Okay, okay, okay.

Grand night's your birthday.

It's my grandmother's birthday tomorrow.
I've got to get her a present. It's

already taken care of. What?

I'm having a surprise party for her
tomorrow. Promise me you'll be there.

That's sweet. Yeah, I'll be there. Okay.

And, you know, sometimes I call Aunt
Granny, and I just want you to know that

that doesn't mean that we're related. So
will you be my date?

Yeah, sure.

Eight o 'clock? Eight o 'clock.

And I wouldn't say no to flowers.

Johnny. Yeah.

Turn around. Turn around. Oh, you look
so handsome. You look so handsome.

I thought Michael would want to wear
this tomorrow for his grandmother.

No, I think just jeans and a T -shirt.
Wouldn't you rather wear jeans and a T

-shirt? Yes, you would. I don't want to
make it a big special occasion.

Okay? I'll see you later. We'll read
your story after dinner.

Okay. Okay.

Everything all right?

Yeah, fine. I'm just cooking one. I
don't think I'll need it.

Dinner will be ready in a minute. All
right, whatever.

Did you see Michael and his shirt? Oh,
so cute. He looked like a little

miniature. You.

But I'm not going to have him wear that
tomorrow.

I'm going to just, you know, do jeans
and a T -shirt. Not his clothes. I'm

worried about it.

Richard, you don't have anything to
worry about. Angela is going to pick him

She's going to take him to lunch. She's
going to take him to that little toy

store on Polo Row. You know, the fancy
one.

Buy him a toy.

I'll meet him there.

He'll be home in time for Sesame Street.

Simple.

Nice little grandmother spending the
afternoon with her grandson.

What do you think she's going to do? Tie
him to a chair, have him read your

dossier?

I guess it's a good thing he can't read.
I just,

you know, I don't want to see Michael in
the middle of it.

What are you doing?

Cinnamon on salmon?

That is mad.

Don't watch that.

I don't

want you in the middle of this either.

We'll let Grandmother have her way for
now.

And then?

Gonna take him to the toy store on Polo
Road, the best little toy store in

Tuscany.

Maybe she'll buy him a magic set and we
will teach Michael how to make his

grandmother disappear.

Still down there?

Hey, could you hurry it up a little,
okay? It's not exactly cozy down here.

You just wait a minute.

I may have forgotten how to tie this
bowling knot I got here.

Oh, yeah?

You should have brought a good book.

That's the hardy boys in the back of the
Jeep. You want it?

Hey, don't laugh.

When I was a kid, I used to love reading
Nancy Drew.

I mean, every month I used to get
another one of her books in the mail. I

thought my father sent them, but he'd
never admit it.

Your father wouldn't know the difference
between Nancy Drew and Betty Booth.

Here.

Put that around your... waist and hang
on kid nothing personal uncle frank but

don't think you can haul me out of here
by yourself another crack like that

you'll stay down there while i break for
lunch you ready yeah come on baby

that's

a good girl that's a good girl

That's the girl.

All right? Yeah.

Okay. What?

So, uh, who sent me those books, huh?

Well, you know, it's my guess it's that
nice old uncle who's teaching you to be

a real agretti.

No!

No!

Get out of here!

I hope they serve something better than
sunflower seeds and carrot sticks.

You can't leave us now.

I have the sweetest little grandson I
want you to meet.

And I'm looking forward to you giving
him a piggyback ride.

Frank.

Please hear me.

The man only had a few months to live.

And you made sure he didn't even have
that.

With an accident.

Oh, save it for the police, Melissa. We
both know what happened.

Believe what you want.

Did you find what you were looking for?

That's the real bottom line, isn't it?

Frank had something for me that he
wouldn't share with you. We shared a

friendship together.

And thanks to you, that's gone.

Hi, Uncle Frank.

Golden hair.

Flying in the wind.

Nancy Drew ran up the porch steps and
let herself into the front door of her

home. The voice of Hannah grew and the
housekeeper plainly reached her.

You don't have to call the police.

I've already checked the license plates
with our computers.

You were chased by a stolen car.

Now the Justice Department can take
over.

Well, I'm not going to sit in some cave
while Richard Channing's after me. You

don't know it was him. Your
investigation could have touched on

involved with. Fine!

Then let's get them all.

We will, but not with you involved. The
department has trained agents to handle

this. Catherine, listen to me. I brought
you to the cave, all right? I want to

be there to see it through.

There you are.

Well, Michael, do you think we should
buy a little kitty for your baby

Michael? Michael?

Michael?

Michael. Excuse me. Did you see where
the little boy went?

No, I didn't.

Michael.

Michael, are you in here?

Nancy lay down on the ground and
stretched the arm down into the chasm.

She could not reach the child.

I'll get a ladder, she said
reassuringly.

Don't be frightened.

What's going on? I'm sorry, ma 'am. We
have an emergency here. Oh, she's all

right. She's the mother.

I was buying Michael a toy, and he was
standing right next to me.

Michael, what happened to him? Where is
he? I don't know. I've been trying to

get you for the last hour.

He's been missing for an hour? Have you
searched the store? We have talked to

everybody. We've looked everywhere, and
he can't be found, Maggie. Have you

gotten in touch with Richard?

No. Is this your little boy? How could
you let the... Another stock boy's

phantom in the back room. He must have
just wandered back here. Well, I looked

in the back room. I'm sorry, Mrs.
Channing. You must have crawled behind

boxes. Let's go home, Rick.

You couldn't take care of him for one
simple afternoon, could you?

What do you mean she isn't in? It's five
o 'clock in the morning. She's got to

be... No.

No message.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Tell her that her mother called and...
and that I miss her.

Just one.

I just need one.

Surprise!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Oh, my!

Darling, what have you done? We share
the same birthday, Ann. Oh, my, that's

wonderful. And such an interesting
group.

I mean, you could even adopt me.

It might get a little sticky if I
married Lance, but then I'd be your

granddaughter -in -law.

What a delightful idea.

You know, I never liked sharing
anything, but I really liked sharing my

with you.

Wonderful.

You know, you've made this a very, very
lovely day.

Angela!

Great, another party guest!

I ought to hang you by your heels. from
the ceiling until the blood rushes down

and your head explodes from the
pressure.

Michael was found unharmed. You had him
for three hours and you lost him.

Richard, everybody knows children
wander.

For every second of anguish you cause,
Maggie, I'm going to make you suffer

tenfold. You cannot deny me the right to
see my grandson. Oh, I can't, huh?

Well, it gives me great pleasure to be
the first to inform you that your

favorite crooked judge has had an attack
of conscience thanks to good reporting

and a crusading publisher, Ambrose. has
resigned his judgeship and withdrawn

from the campaign, as you can see,
folks, from your favorite newspaper,

is out. But his decision still stands.
Only until I've appealed this farcical

case.

You know, after what happened today, and
when people get wind of what's going on

here tonight, no sane person is even
gonna let you look at my son, let alone

spend a day with him, and I dare you to
try.

Sorry, I can't stay for the... Party
host.

Hey, every party's got to have a clown,
right?

Let's celebrate, okay?

Controlling Lance Compson proves to be
more difficult than we thought.

You promised me.

that he would be easily taken care of. I
never promised you that.

That's what you wanted to believe.

Are you suggesting that I'm a poor judge
of character, Miss Anderson?

According to you, the attempt on his
life was going to scare him off.

to me, Lance Compson doesn't give a damn
about his own life.

So much the better.

If he gets too close to the truth, you
will have to kill him.

Cigarette.

How many has she had?

A couple. How long has Maggie been
drinking?

Since she married me.

Would it help if I got you closer to the
family?

I've got the orange juice squeezed. I've
got the eggs.

But he's changing you. And not for the
better. To deepest, darkest Africa.
