Previously on Falcon Crest.

Cobart doesn't exactly sound like a place builder's buried treasure.

Get out of here!

You really believe that Channing's behind the arms ship into Africa, don't

Yeah, I know it. Lance trusts me. I'll lead him around in so many circles,

be too dizzy to discover the truth.

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

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

tenfold. Michael was found unharmed.

And tonight.

Come here often?

A little touch of Marnie there.

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.

Eat your oatmeal, boys, please. Thank you.

No,

Michael. Michael, please do not throw oatmeal at your brother. I mean it. I

it. Do not throw oatmeal at your brother. You eat the oatmeal. You don't

the oatmeal. Oh, darling, look at you. Look at you. Look at you.

Oh, God. Are you sure you don't want me to help you? No, I don't want you to

help me. I want you to get the toast is what I want you to do.

Why don't I take over?

I'm fine.

I'm fine. I've got this under control. I'm perfectly capable of fixing

for two little boys. I've got the orange juice squeezed. I've got the egg.

Oh, my.

Here. Please.

Please. Now, let me clean up. I'm sorry. Okay.

I'll be right back.

Oh, no.

Breakfast of champions.

You hardly touched your breakfast.

What's wrong?

Read this.

The court revoked your visitation rights? They won't let you see Michael?

How'd Richard swing that?

Well, last night over a chessboard, I figured out what happened.

Richard arranged for Michael to disappear at that toy store.

He set me up to be humiliated.

Look, Grandmother, don't you worry about Channing.

He's one step closer to federal prison. I'm just about to give him a little

push. Now, look, I don't want to see him in jail, but I'll make sure that he

gets hurt.

You really want to sue for custody?

What are you, backing down, Miss Porter?

I thought your Ivy League law school taught you to go for the jugular.

And I can when I know I have a good chance of winning.

But separating a child from his parents is almost impossible. Even if the mother

drinks? That'll help our case.

Would it help to know that the father is an inch away from prison?

Even better.

But it still might not be enough.

We're going to need time and overwhelming evidence that the parents

And how do we arrange that?

We'll need a specialist in digging up dirt.

That is, if there is enough dirt.

Well, you get the show.

And I'll tell you where to dig.

Thank you very much. Next time you see me, I'm going to be sporting shades and

holding an Oscar.

See you at the movies.

Well, what do you think?

Did I sound starstruck enough for you?

It was an award -winning performance.

You know, I've got television stations, a movie studio.

What's left for me in show business?

Show business, Mr. Channing?

Surely you mean the business of information.

Excuse me.

Yes, I did notice that the studio owns a communication satellite.

Which we now control.

What a pity that Mrs. Channing couldn't have been present for the festivities.

She had other business.

I see.

Our organization thrives on secrecy.

I put this delicately.

A person who enjoys drinking might not care what he or she says.

Or to whom.

You have just crossed a line that I do not let anyone cross.

watching you collect Frank's personal effects, pretending to be family.

And what are you pretending to be, Angela?

He's my friend. I don't care about him because I want something from him.

You hypocrite. What you want is this map.

Oh, I don't give a damn about that map. I'm only protecting his interest while

he's in a coma.

You have such a big heart, don't you, Angela?

Frank has a heart as big as Tuscany.

And you, my dear, were born without it.

Lobster for dinner.

I like the way you rough it.

I'm not going to apologize for being away, Melissa.

I didn't expect it to. I know it was my fault.

I heard about your uncle.

Talking of his accidents all over town.

I hope he makes it.

Tell me about you and Suzanne.

Well, we thrashed things out.

Got things settled.

This is my home.

Dan, I know what I did was unforgivable.

But I only did it because I love you.

I figured that out.

That's why the table's been set for two.

Madam.

I think it's fine. Thank you.

Are we paying overtime for this?

Contractors came late. It's been like this all day. Mrs. Rainer? What?

Mrs. Rainer, would you please see to the children?

It's about those phone calls she wanted to return. God, would you please? The

man just got home. Give him a moment's rest. Phone everybody later. Oh, God.

Here, here, here.

Why didn't you come to the office today?

Why didn't you invite me to the office today?

I did invite you.

You were supposed to come and watch me sign the papers for the movie studio.

I forgot.

Richard, I'm so sorry. I just, I totally forgot.

Mrs. Channing, could you come up here a moment, please?

Yes, yes. Mrs. Raynor, I'll be right.

I'm so sorry, darling. I forgot.

I'm sorry.

Peter's in a stupid staff meeting. I'm telling you, the guy hates to go home at

night. Forget it, forget it.

You want something to drink?

Whatever you're having is fine.

Two red wines, please.

Oh, and a bowl of pretzels, please.

A bowl of pretzels?

Yes.

Tell you what, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

You first.

Pass me that.

What do you got?

Field reports on Remick and the Rebels. List of operatives and contacts

available to it. Great.

And... Thank

you. Thanks.

Well, to deepest,

darkest Africa.

Hear, hear.

My father used to wait up for me, too.

He always kept a light on, though.

Did you enjoy your evening?

After dinner, Mint?

Thank you.

I've got him.

He even paid for the plane tickets.

You must be careful to lead him away from Remick's troops.

A wrong encounter would prove most unhealthy for all of us.

I promise you.

Lance is going to get the E -ticket ride through Adventureland.

For his money, Ben.

Flight number seven, California.

Flight number seven, California.

What are we waiting for?

Reinforcement.

Excuse me.

He,

he, what's he?

Did your Justice Department ID cut through red tape?

Don't tell me you know him.

Look at this. He's got two honey knives and a roll of primer cord.

Yeah, we're tools.

He's our guide to the Rebel Base Camp. He's the best pilot around.

Lance, I already hired a pilot.

Well, cancel him.

Westcott knows the territory. It'll save us a lot of time.

Come on.

You really think that you can learn to run your own trucking company? I know I

could.

Can you afford to buy it?

Well, I'm working on that. Now, I got a plan to swing the financing, but it may

take a little time.

How long?

A couple weeks, maybe.

I've been waiting 65 years to retire.

What's a few weeks?

Look, I don't want to string you along. Have you got some better offers or

something? A lot of them.

From most of the big wineries in the valley.

They'd love to swallow me up.

I've always liked you, Dan.

You're like me.

We both got a little rebel in us.

And I want to sell to you.

Thank you, Mr. Crescent.

Call me Rocky.

Driver for ring 14, you're loaded and clear to sign out.

Ring 14, you're loaded and clear to sign out.

So, uh, how are you going to raise the money, guy?

What, you have doubts?

Yeah. Just because I'm an ex -con with no collateral and a credit rating

slightly lower than Death Valley?

All right, so what's the plan?

This is our room. Yeah?

Hey,

if you're trying to ditch me, it's not going to happen.

I saw your bike four blocks away.

Oh, Carly, I was just about to call you. Hey, I don't mind if my big brother

gets back in town and doesn't even bother to call his only lonely sister.

Did you get the postcards?

Oh, yeah.

Tulsa in the winter, Tulsa from the northwest.

They were really fabulous.

Hi. Oh, it's good to see you. You too.

Would you rather stick to a nice professional handshake?

Actually, I'd prefer not to touch you at all.

Oh, I see Angela's letting you drive her car.

And she thinks I'm crazy.

Carly, come on. Let me show you my dream.

Forklift on dock five. We need a forklift on dock five.

I wonder if they make a lobster pot her size.

Full boat, king double five.

The night's young.

Well, Lord, the stakes.

Drop the... Come on. Uh, dollar ante.

A quarter ante. Can't quit on a quarter.

You can deal me in.

All right, lady. Ante up.

Lady does her hundreds.

We'll just take a few back.

Sure thing, Tanny.

Five -card draw, nothing wild.

Check. Oh, that's fine.

Clary, not me.

She cleaned me out last time.

I understand that you specialize in custody cases.

I love children, and I like protecting their interests.

Bet. I'll open for a hundred.

Call.

Two cards.

Didn't take long.

I'm also an undercover specialist.

I do whatever's necessary to get what I'm after.

If the parents are abusive, I have no problem in playing an occasional dirty

card.

Bet.

Hundred dollars.

I think you got lucky.

I'll bust you a hundred.

How about it?

You're a hundred and a hundred more.

This I gotta say.

Can you be a flush?

Queen.

All four of them.

You're a shrewd customer, Miss Channing.

That I am.

And you seem to be the right employee for me.

The job is yours if you want it.

Oh, no, no, no. Just leave it there.

Pretend it's a retainer.

Hello?

Yes, Mrs. Stauber, please.

Yes, this is her mother again.

All right, all right. If you cannot find her, then I wish you would find someone

who can.

Okay? And have her call her mother.

Thank you.

I'm sure Mrs. Channing is worried about her daughter.

Perhaps if the young lady returns.

Oh, she'd just make things worse. She's a spoiled brat.

Nonetheless, Mrs. Channing is phoning Europe six times a day. She is very

anxious. Once a parent, always a parent, Garth.

Look, send another one of those telegrams.

Dear Mom, sorry I haven't called.

Taking the Agatha Christie tour on the Orient Express.

P .S. The butler did it.

Yes, sir. And send it right away.

Are you going somewhere, sir? There's nothing on your calendar. That's right.

There isn't.

You don't know something.

Either you go to the library and look it up or you find somebody who does know.

And you're the tops in your field.

How long has Maggie been drinking?

Since she married me.

Does she want to be helped?

I think I see the problem clearer than she does.

And I guess that's why I'm here.

I want to know what I can do to help her.

That's easy.

You can tear yourself apart.

And that's all you can do for her until she wants to be helped.

Al -Anon runs a support group for families of alcoholics that I think is

absolutely excellent. She's not an alcoholic.

It's not as bad as that.

Richard, you just told me that your wife is denying the problem.

Not going to help if you deny it, too.

Good to see you're driving better.

Hello, Dan.

Welcome home.

Again.

It's good to see you, Angela.

Carly and I were talking about you. You know, we miss you at Falcon Crest.

Well, don't try talking me into coming back, okay? Oh, I'm not here to

interfere. I certainly wouldn't want a medal in your life like Melissa has.

You know, I can't believe that she tried to come between you and your ex -wife.

Why are you here, really?

Well, to tell the truth, I want to loan you the money to buy Crescent Trucking.

Well, Carly's told me all about it.

I can already feel the strings being attached.

I'm not trying to win you over on my side. I just want us to be friends

Thanks anyway.

But I gotta do this one on my own.

You know that green stuff? I think it was a vegetable. I mean, I hope so. I

it. Oh, that white stuff?

I haven't a clue.

Oh, I'm going to go powder my nose.

Hey, baby.

How would you like to meet a real jungle animal?

It's far from home and the lines never change.

Hands off, monkey breath.

Hi.

Come here often?

What happened to him?

Appendix, maybe?

Appendix. I got the plane ready.

You guys having too much fun here.

I don't think so.

Way to go.

They're shooting at us. They're rebels, lady. They shoot at anybody.

You haven't told them we're on their side.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Rebel base one, come in. This is Wescott. Rebel base one, come in. I wish

a cigarette.

Smoke those things and kill you.

Wescott!

I turned out to build a campfire.

All we need now are some marshmallows.

A little time to repair this radio.

Where'd you learn to fly with, that model airplane fool?

Hey, hey.

You guys okay?

Yeah. All right.

I'm going to hike up to that ridge up there.

See if I can spot the guy who shot us down. Shouldn't be that hard. Don't

to give him my heartfelt thanks.

Yeah.

Listen.

Something about this mission really bugging me.

What?

Not quite sure. It just doesn't feel right.

Keep your head and your butt down, okay? Yeah.

What are you doing

behind my desk?

I am designing the new logo for Dan's trucking company once he gets it.

What's the problem?

The problem is that you're treating Falcon Crest like your private

Well, hey, like you said, mi casa es su casa, right?

Whatever.

You know, Carly, I like you very much, but you're getting a little big for your

britches.

Oh, well, sorry.

You should be doing something useful.

Have you ever tailed anyone?

A man who might bankroll me isn't going to be an easy touch.

Who is this high roller?

Well, he spent two years in adjoining cells at Oklahoma State 10.

He went on to make a million bucks in transportation bids.

Hmm.

Wait a minute.

What?

I've got this great idea.

Why don't you take me with you? Wait.

That way I can show you where Uncle Frank's map led to. Okay, I have this

gut feeling there's something very important down that mine shaft.

Hmm?

Okay.

We're going to leave day after tomorrow at 6 a .m. sharp.

Okay. Sharp. All right, all right. That'll give me enough time to do some

research. Research?

Yeah. You know how I love to sink my teeth into something.

I know.

Wait a minute. Now, you don't walk out without giving somebody two weeks'

notice. I'm truly sorry, Mrs. Channing, but I can't stay here any longer. Mrs.

Rayner, please, please.

Look, I know I have been snapping at you and... No, it's not just that. It's

your mood swings.

There's a cab blocking my car. What's going on? Nothing, nothing. Mrs. Rayner

walking out on us, that's all. I simply can't stay here anymore.

I'll be leaving now.

Oh.

Nice life.

We'll get somebody else.

Hey, hey, this is for the best because, you know, I want to run this house on my

own. I've always wanted to run it on my own. I'm giving you a broom.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Good guy.

Grandma, grandma.

Hello, sweetheart.

Kevin, stay right here, darling, okay? Mom, you'll be right back. Just stay

right there.

Okay?

Oh, well, he came to me, Maggie. It's all right. But you understand, I can't.

Michael, honey, let's go back to the swings, okay? Come on.

Maggie, I'm terribly sorry about all of this.

It's a difficult situation for everybody.

No, I'm talking about you, Maggie.

Take a look at yourself.

You are so terrified that somebody's going to see us together and report back

Richard. That's ridiculous.

Maggie, he's changed you. And not for the better.

You know, I know I'm not your best friend, but please hear me. That man can

you.

Give me your hand, sweetheart. Let's go.

Bye,

Michael.

I love you.

Come in, come in. Rebel Base 1, this is Westcott. Come in.

Come in, come in.

Rebel Base 1, this is Westcott. Come in.

Come in, come in.

Rebel Base 1, this is Westcott. Come in.

Let me see if I can help him with that.

Oh, God.

Damn it! I'm sorry.

I just got so dizzy all of a sudden.

Why do you look so friggin' pink?

The person passes out, the blood leaves their head. They turn white.

What a new game.

Ah.

Hobart, California.

Gold mining town.

Established 1851.

Gold.

Lots of it.

For a while.

Then it was all mined out. Most of the townspeople moved away.

The place caved in during the 1906 quake.

Well, do you think there's a chance that there's still something valuable there?

As far as I know, no one's checked out Hobart since the Depression.

So, tell me what else you know.

You know, I just love the shy intellectual type.

You one of my students?

Yeah.

Actually, I've come with a little history left.

What did this guy do?

Flunk.

Then he grabbed the knife and he came after me. Take a look. It's still in his

hand. How do you know they were government forces he was trying to

They said... So they identified themselves over the airwaves.

I'm telling you, the guy was working for the other side. What else was I going

to do?

Just take it easy, gentlemen.

Let's not get too spontaneous here.

We represent friends of John Remick.

And we're looking for the guys on his side.

The Agatha Christie tour, have you ever heard of that? What will that girl think

of next?

You see, it's been all that time worrying for nothing.

Well, I'm a mother. That's what I do, worry.

Yeah, well, you're not supposed to worry all the time. You know what we need to

do? What? Let's go out to dinner tonight like we used to do in New York.

Oh, that's a good idea. Huh? That's a good idea. I'll call Richard.

Have him meet us.

I was hoping just us girls.

Besides, I don't think Richard likes me.

Oh, of course he likes you. Maybe he'll get you a date. What about girls?

Would you relax? Have a drink? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not drinking. I told

you I wasn't drinking.

Maggie, this is me.

You think I don't know what you're pouring in your coffee cup at home?

Just relax. You are so tight.

Maggie.

Oh, well.

Like I'm being stood up by my husband.

What are you going to do? I think it's just late.

There's a guy up there who's been staring at you for the last ten minutes.

You're kidding.

Men always stare at the blondes. There's no justice in this world.

But he's 14 years old.

Oh, and he's coming this way.

Oh, God. Is he going to ask me to dance?

Say no. I'll take him.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Would you like to dance?

Me?

Sorry. That's all right.

Sorry. Oh, well. Yes, fine. I'd love to dance.

Great.

Well, they have a way of doing it.

Where's the man?

Where's the man? Good question, where's the man?

No!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't do the spins with me because I'm not very steady on my...

On my feet with them.

How many she had? A couple.

Sitting out.

Sitting out. Oh, oh.

Excuse me. I beg your pardon.

Hi. Well, you finally got here. I was beginning to... A couple.

A couple of what? What are you talking about?

How much you've had to drink. Oh, I don't... Let's go home.

It's okay, Maggie. You better go.

Do it again sometime.

No, you won't.

You brought him?

After one day of sniffing around after Channing and his bride, I can tell you

right now, it's going to be a slow grind building our case.

I'm sorry to hear that.

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

Like the inside of the house.

You bet.

Do you have a way?

I always have a way.

Boozies, tanks, all sort of high -tech weapons.

Those things don't grow on trees, not even out here.

Somebody gave our...

Charming local little government here, several million bucks.

Any idea who?

They found him a fairy godmother.

Now, Westcott told me that Richard Channing was behind this.

Know anything about it?

All I know is they got my buddy.

And that's one score I'm still trying to settle.

Are you positive Remick's dead?

I saw him captured.

That was one strange deal, too.

Somehow they found out our location.

But when they came in, it was like Remick was the only person they were

for. They must have lost 12 guys going right for him.

Six months later, we hear that he died in a prison camp.

Is there any way we can be sure?

Government's got reports, records.

I can guarantee you safe passage through to their lines.

Although I wouldn't admit that to them if I were you.

You can count me out of this one.

I kind of feel like I've been shot at enough for one lifetime.

Hey, partner, I'm going to track this down, and you're going to help me.

Jackson Miller, get a mission.

You're awesome.

Would you like some tea, Mrs. Kenny?

Well, that's very nice of you, Carly.

What are you doing, imitating Charlie?

I'm trying to make an effort, Ange. Don't bust my chops.

How was your effort with Melissa?

He would have been really proud of me.

She went to go see this professor, right?

So I went to go see the professor.

So I told him to tell me everything that he told her, or I would tell everybody

that he was chasing me around the room. You see what I'm saying?

What did you learn?

You better move fast, Ange.

Okay, Michael, let your brother play with the robot. Just for a minute.

Just for a minute. Thank you very much. Now you can play with it.

motorcycle. The agency didn't say there'd be small children. Well, they're

good little boys.

What happened to your previous housekeeper?

It's all right. It's all right.

She left for personal reasons.

The rest of your staff?

Mr. Dingle, who is interviewing whom?

All right, boys, I'll be right with you. Look, I would just like to know what

sort of household I'll be working for. You're not working here yet.

Well, this is all very impressive, Mrs. Maxwell.

Nearly. Yeah.

I guess I better ask, how do you feel about small children?

Raised two boys and three girls, Mom.

We only have two boys.

No challenge with just two.

I don't know if I can agree with that.

Man of the house?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, Richard!

Come on, I want you to meet... Nellie.

Nellie.

The problem is this Nellie's made a good impression on Mrs. Channing. Yes, sir,

I noticed that. I don't want Mrs. Channing upset, but I also don't want

working for me I haven't checked out. I understand. So what I'm telling you

is... Don't let Maggie find out what you're doing. Excuse me, sir, but I've

already taken the liberty. Mrs. Maxwell left her coat and purse lying in the

pantry.

Garth, you didn't. I did, sir. Well, I'm proud of you. Thank you, sir.

She has Angela Channing's private number in her wallet.

Ask me if I'm surprised, Garth.

Are you surprised, sir? No.

Shall I give the woman her notice now, sir?

No, not yet.

Better the spy we know than the spy we don't.

Father, would it hurt the baby if I took him away from Richard?

What do you think?

Well, I know he's never going to let me see him, and I don't want that little

boy growing up hating me.

But if you fight for custody, everyone gets hurt.

And if I don't, then I'll never get to know that sweet little grandson I've

learned to love.

You have got gold on the brain.

Look, I don't want to be late for my meeting with the truck company backers,

right? Oh, come on. I just want to show you the place, okay?

Tomorrow I'm bringing a surveyor and a different expert, and if there's

something out here, I'm going to find it.

Yeah, yeah.

What if it's a joke?

Damn that Angela.

How the hell did she find out?

Oh, hi.

Beautiful woman in front of a roaring fire.

Who set this scene?

We in trouble here, Richard?

Trouble?

Are we in trouble?

We've been in trouble before.

We'll get through this. I don't know. It feels different this time. I don't

understand what's going on with me.

I wanted this house so much. You know how much I wanted it.

And now all the security systems and the guards and the dogs.

I'm beginning to feel like the prisoner of Zenda.

But there's something about that.

That's why sometimes I feel like I need a drink because...

We ought to bring the old Maggie back.

I'm not even going to give you time to take a drink, lady.

Red's expecting me.

Red?

Your former sailmate's name is Red?

Yeah.

He doesn't happen to carry a chainsaw, does he?

You fix?

That's right.

Red wants you to stay around for a couple of days.

He's got a lot to talk to you about.

I can't stay.

I mean, I've got to get back and deal with Angela, you know what I mean?

Take off.

Are you going to stay?

Mm -hmm.

I mean, are you going to be okay? I mean, these guys look a little sad and

psychotic, you know what I mean? They just look tough.

I'll get them to drive me back.

Okay, well, you be careful.

I mean, I'll miss you for dead.

Come on, take off.

Nice to meet you guys.

I'm always pleased to assist the U .S. Justice Department.

I'll make sure we receive a copy of Mr. Remick's death certificate as soon as

possible. Thank you.

I'd like to see the grave site.

I promised this family that I'd leave their prayers. I was kind of hoping

understand, General.

Well, I'm sure they can be arranged.

Yeah. This is Remick.

Happy now?

No.

That boomer guy said Remick died six months ago, right?

Something like that.

This grave ain't near that old.

Do? Perform your own personal autopsy? I'm going to find out what the hell is

going on around here.

Would you stop?

That sacrilege.

It's empty.

I know.

Too bad.

I was really starting to like you.

Yeah, that's too bad.

Because I was really starting to like you, too.

But I stopped trusting you.

Who are you working for?

Are you working for Richard?

Talk!

My name is Ray, and my wife is an alcoholic.

Most of you people here know my old lady went on a wagon a couple of weeks ago.

Well, she fell off.

Stop me if you heard this one before, okay?

We went bowling.

By the fifth frame, she was so drunk, she thought she was playing Frisbee.

See, what's getting to me is I feel like such a chump.

I keep telling her.

I keep believing her.

She tells me she's quit for good.

And I believe.

Every time.

And I'll believe her next time, she tells me. Because... Because I love her.

And she's killing herself.

And I can't make her stop.

Next on Falcon Crest. I'm going to have a little tete -a -tete with Melissa.

I'd like to see you get away from him, Maggie. He's a dangerous man.

Who is she?

And how much is Angela paying her? I want custody of my grandson.

And I don't care how many moves I have to make.

I'm afraid I'm going to lose my husband and my family. I think I'm in trouble.

I'm not going to huff and puff at you, Angela. I'm just going to blow your

down.
