Previously on Falcon Crest. Let's go home.

It's okay, Maggie. You better go.

We'll do it again sometime.

No, you won't.

The court suspended your visitation rights. They won't let you see Michael.

I understand that you specialize in custody cases.

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

Are you positive Remick's dead?

50. Too bad. I was really starting to like you.

Who are you working for?

You working for Richard?

And tonight.

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.

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

house down.

You know what I think?

I just think this whole move into the house took more out of me than I

I went to an Al -Anon meeting last night.

Oh, Richard.

No, it was good. Those people, they were very touching.

And they made me realize that it's not your problem, that it's our problem.

I think.

I've got to get some help. Richard, you are overreacting to this. You are.

I do not have a drinking problem.

I had a moving into a new house problem.

I can stop drinking whenever I want. I can and I will.

Now, I've got hot water that's getting cold. You have cold water that's getting

hot.

I trust you to be quiet.

You found out about Remick. That means I screwed up my assignment.

I'm in a lot more trouble than you are.

What are you going to tell your boss?

That you accepted Remick's grave as proof of his death.

I don't think he's going to believe it.

I hope so.

Anyway, you're all right.

The 13 won't touch you now that you're back in the States.

They know Channing won't be happy to find his nephew's head blown off.

Richard Channing hates my guts.

He wants me alive.

I'm the guy.

We've got a match.

What is it?

Hans, what is it?

You've got your secrets and I've got mine.

Don't worry, little puppet.

Michael will come back and play with you.

Angela! Oh, why didn't you lock the doors?

How dare you buy that land?

Frank wants me to have what's in that town, not you.

I don't want it for myself. I want it for him.

What, are you planning to make a profit on it when you sell it to him? That land

is a gift from me to Frank, and nobody's going to disturb that town until he

says so. Nobody meaning me, right? Oh, well, you've been posing as the lovable

little niece. Now, I guarantee you he's going to have a different story. So

don't you huff and puff at me. Oh, I'm not going to huff and puff at you,

Angela. I'm just going to blow your house down.

Well, you've certainly got the hot air to do it.

Always wanted a little red caboose.

Very nice, sir.

The information you requested on Nellie Maxwell has also arrived.

Who is she?

And how much is Angela paying her?

She is a private detective who specializes in custody cases.

Custody?

And she couldn't even get visitation right now. She wants custody of Michael.

That woman's insufferable. She's still trying to prove I'm an unfit parent.

Well, if you excuse me for saying so, sir, it is Mrs. Chenning who is quite

vulnerable at the moment.

I'll find a way to keep Maggie away from Angela and the housekeeper.

If I could talk Maggie into going away, you know, to a private

clinic, I think she could look this thing.

I would be happy to terminate Miss Maxwell's employment while Mrs. Chenning

gone.

You got anything on that other little chore I asked you to do?

Yes, sir. Our southern operatives have checked in with their research, and I

will know more from our other agents in a day or two.

I'll read this later.

Yes, sir.

Keep an eye on that housekeeper.

Oh, yes, sir. Oh, and by the way, Mr.

Rosemont is waiting to see you.

Good, Garth.

Count to five and then let him in.

Yes, sir.

I hope I'm not disturbing you. Not at all. Just admiring my latest

It's not a movie studio, but it's still enjoyable.

As are most of life's simple pleasures.

You can't play with it.

I trust that you will be joining me this evening at the charity benefit.

Why, certainly.

Mrs. Channing and I look forward to seeing you there.

Rosemont.

Afterwards, Mrs. Channing may want to take a brief vacation somewhere quiet

very private.

We own such a place.

Very quiet.

Very private.

Small clinic in Colorado.

I think it will suit Mrs. Channing's needs.

Hello, Louise.

Hello, Melissa.

So does my winery get the union seal of approval?

As always, your workers have no complaints.

Oh, that's good.

You must have your hands full with Angela and the cheer -broody winery.

What do you mean?

Oh, you didn't know?

All of Angela's workers quit, and she hired scabs to work in the vineyards.

she closed down the winery.

She promised it wouldn't reopen until she could staff it with union personnel.

Oh, come on, Louise. When are you going to learn that Angela's promises are

worthless?

Mrs. Channing has always been extremely fair to us, Melissa.

Except for her habit of putting grapes before people.

I think you should speak with her.

I'll go have a word with her.

I've missed you so. Oh, and I've missed you too, darling.

Did you really dig out all my old toys in honor of my homecoming? Oh, I was

going to give them to Michael.

Oh. But his father doesn't want him to play here anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Emma, I hope you're not going to continue your vendetta against Richard.

Don't worry, Mother. I won't do anything stupid.

I'm glad you're back.

Let me see who this is.

If you were Richard.

If you were Richard.

Mrs. Channing.

Oh, Louie.

What a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, right.

Were you holding your breath, hoping I wouldn't find out?

What are you talking about? I just checked and saw the non -union workers

got at the Gilberty Winery. Well, there are only 12 people on a temporary basis.

My grapes were rotting. Now, when you signed that contract... I thought we

negotiating in good faith, Mrs. Channing.

I'm sorry you went behind my back. Now, listen.

Don't you dare threaten me.

Some things never change.

Come in.

Surprise, surprise.

Ah, you've been doing some redecorating, huh?

Ah. Well, you know, one's tastes change over the years.

Yes, I've noticed that.

I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your marriage to Maggie.

Nor I on your marriage to Lance again. Nor offer my regrets on your divorce

again.

Well, we were both masters in the art of casual relationships, Richard.

Oh, no. My relationships were never casual.

Oh? Well, that's not what you told me when you ended ours.

Oh, now, come on. You haven't come here to discuss the dark ages.

No, no, no, no. I find the future much more fascinating, and I'm looking for a

man who shares my vision.

What about that boyfriend of yours? He must share something.

I think you're better suited for what I had in mind.

Uh -oh.

Have drinks with me tomorrow night, Richard.

Save yourself the money and tell me what you want.

Tomorrow night at the Max.

As a favor for someone you once loved, at least you said you did.

What if I said it? I meant it.

We had a good time, didn't we?

Ready. Hey, can we take a limo?

I'll tell you, boy, there are great things to do in the back of the limo. I

don't think Garth would approve.

Well, Garth doesn't have to watch.

You're beautiful.

Thank you very much. You and you, my darling boy, are stunning.

The best -looking man in a tuxedo that I know.

Thank you.

You.

Are you ready for this dinner? Oh, please. Anybody is boring, honey. We

right into the table. We have a party of our own. You know, we don't have to go

to the cinema. They're boring. They've already got my money anyway.

We can sit right around here, kick our shoes off, and have a nice, quiet little

talk. That's no fun.

No fun?

Talking to me is no fun?

Well, I don't know what I mean.

We've got a problem, Maggie.

What problem?

Richard, stop it. Stop it. Now, just don't ruin this evening.

You've got to let me help you.

All right?

I found a place in Colorado.

It's a clinic. You want to send me away?

No.

I want you to get well.

And you don't have to go if you don't want to. I want to go. I don't want to

I don't want to leave my home and my family and you. It wouldn't be for long,

all right? Just a few weeks. Richard, could you just trust me? Could you just

please trust me that I could work this out?

Will you do me a favor?

Will you promise me you'll think about it?

For us.

I will.

Okay. I

don't

know which way to go.

Rocking horses?

Teddy bears.

Rocking horses? Teddy bears.

Oh, too bad Richard left so early.

I mean, he's the decisive one.

Well, these choices are hard, aren't they?

Sounded like you were up all night last night thinking about it.

Oh, no offense. It's just I heard you walking around a lot.

Everything all right?

Fine.

You can talk to me, Miss Channing.

That is, if you want to.

Actually, I could use some advice. I have a decision to make.

I'll be as objective as I can.

Excuse me, Mrs. Channing.

Nellie, the groceries you ordered are here.

The delivery boy is waiting downstairs.

It's okay.

Well, if you ask me, I would choose the teddy bear.

Hello.

I'm awfully glad you decided to come back to work.

Well, it wasn't an easy decision, Richard.

But I decided that the world needs Ask Emma.

Believe me, I know it. Come on in, boys.

Oh, no.

Thank you, fellas.

And there's more where this came from. I got mail knee -high in my bathroom,

Emma Channing.

I'm going to have to triple your salary, Siri. I'm going to have to build you an

office big enough to hold all this mail.

You're being very nice to me, Richard.

Emma.

I'm sorry about Curtis's death.

I truly am.

I guess I'm just hoping you'll stop blaming me.

I have to get on with my life, Richard.

There are so many people with so many problems. I've decided to stop worrying

about my own.

Anyway, thank you for coming back.

See if I can't get you some L's to help you answer this.

Sure, Lance saw the grave, but he believes Remick is a dead end, with the

emphasis on dead.

As I recall, your job was to keep Mr. Compson out of the country for three

months.

Or... To make sure he didn't come back at all.

He's given up his quest to nail Channing. Isn't that enough?

You're asking me to take your word for it?

You trained me yourself.

Are you doubting my judgment?

When did you start smoking again?

Well, I think I'll just...

Go on back to my apartment and write up my report.

As I

suspected,

we'll want one of our handymen assigned to Miss Anderson.

Yes.

I'm afraid she's beyond salvage.

This is the move I made when I checkmated Richard the night of the

Reliving fond memories, Mrs. Channing?

Preparing new battles, Miss Porter.

Chess isn't my strong suit.

But you understand the rules.

You know, the pawn we put in Richard's house wrote me a letter.

Now, if I read correctly between the lines, Nellie is having a hard time

up dirt.

You said yourself Channing's a clever man.

I want custody of my grandson.

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

Hello? Yes.

What?

What is going on here?

Well, they're claiming you're using scab labor, Mrs. Channing.

Temporary workers until I get a union contract.

Now, get them out of here. They're on private property.

I know. We're just waiting for some backup. Look, if they ruin my grate,

going to be your neck.

I can't help it if I love a circus.

You had a hand in this, too, huh?

Well, it would be a terrible shame if all your grapes rotted, Angela.

You know, I'm getting a little tired of your sharp little tricks.

Oh, are you going to steal my car?

No, it's just a sign that you see how it feels. Oh, I'm just shaking it.

Don't worry, I'd be delighted to pay for the tow truck.

Richard. You're getting psychic, Maggie Channing.

Listen, darling, um, are you coming home soon? Because I really need to talk to

you, okay?

I will. I'm going to have a little tete -a -tete with Melissa.

Excuse me? Maybe I should have my hearing checked.

Well, I assume you know what you're doing.

Oh, yes. I'm all, listen, I'm all prepared for Valley's favorite Dixon. I

snake repellent, my bulletproof vest.

I even got my samurai sword.

All right, well...

Hurry home, because it's kind of important, okay?

I will.

I love you.

I love you.

Michael?

Yes? Thank you for taking such good care of your brother today. You're really a

big help to your mom, you know that?

And I'm sorry if I'm a little grumpy with you, Santa.

I thought we were going to talk business.

earth down here.

So what's new?

So why come to me?

I have a plan, Richard.

And only you can help me with it.

What if I live through this and I...

Where did Melissa go?

Oh, same old Melissa, full of plots and plans.

Yeah? You going along with any of them? I don't think so.

Well... I told you I haven't had anything to drink tonight, which I

it has not been that easy.

So I... I was thinking that maybe your idea about my going to the clinic

is a good one.

You still think I should go?

I want it to be your decision.

Well, I mean, my decision is also based on what I think you want, so...

I guess my decision is that I go.

Are you going to miss me? Are you going to miss me? Are you going to miss me?

Yes, I'm going to miss you very, very much.

Too bad you didn't tell me you were leaving sooner.

And that pretty blue sweater, yours to the cleaners. Oh, that's all right.

I didn't know myself till last night.

Oh.

You and Mr. Channing having problems?

Of course not.

It's a business trip.

Family business.

Excuse me, Mrs. Channing. Yes, Scott.

But Lance Compson is downstairs. He wishes to speak with you. Well, for

sake, she's leaving for Colorado. No, it's all right. It's all right. I'll

to him.

Found Romick's grave.

And when I dug it up, there was nothing in there but sand.

And I found this note in my passport.

Come on, Lance. Why are you doing this to me?

I care about you, Maggie.

And I don't want to see you get hurt.

Lance, you could have written this note yourself.

Why would I do that? Because you're Angela's grandson.

That's enough of a reason right there. She would just love to see Richard and

me. split up. Maggie, that's not the reason.

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

I love him, Lance. I love him and I trust him.

Now, you keep the note.

If you trust him that much, show it to him.

What are you doing? What are you? Stop it. Stop it, Michael, please.

Don't go away.

I have to go.

Did I do something bad?

Oh, honey, you haven't done anything bad.

Kevin?

No, Kevin didn't do anything bad either.

Don't go.

I don't want to go.

Oh, sweetheart, I don't want to go.

Listen, can you meet me?

What's wrong?

I think I'm in trouble.

Please.

I'll meet you anywhere you say.

I have to see you now.

Okay.

She didn't say anything?

No, no. She didn't say where she was going.

I thought for sure she'd be back by now. How long has she been gone? Well, 45

minutes, maybe an hour.

She seemed kind of upset about something.

She'll miss her flight, won't she?

If you like, I can call and make her another reservation. That's all right.

Would you excuse us, Bella?

Certainly.

You better find her, Garth.

You better check... some of the bars.

Yes, sir.

Even if I can't help you, at least I can listen.

I'm not sure where to start.

I'm supposed to be on a plane to Colorado right now.

Colorado?

Richard wants me to go there.

That's not fair. I probably should be going there.

I don't know.

Everything's been so crazy recently.

I've been drinking. Richard thinks I need to go and get some treatment.

Maggie. Well, it's all right. And I just, I don't want to go.

Michael doesn't want me to leave. Poor little guy. He thinks that he's done

something wrong, and that's why I'm leaving. I can't tell him why I'm going.

can't tell him where I'm going.

And then Lance shows up in the midst of all of this.

Lance. What's Lance got to do with it?

Lance thinks Richard's involved in some... in some pretty terrible things.

I don't know what to think, you know.

I mean, I love him.

And yet so many people... trust him, hate him.

What if they're right, I'm wrong?

Oh, Maggie.

Maggie, maybe you... Maybe you should, uh... talk to a professional.

Thank you.

I better get home to the kids.

No, no, I... I'll drive you.

Don't be silly. Finish your salad. I'm fine.

Well, uh...

But you call me, please, if you need to, please.

Yeah, I will.

Thank you.

I don't want to know you're not going to set me up again.

You don't.

God, Lance, I messed up so badly.

Okay, tell me what happened.

I was going home, and I saw this man coming out of my apartment.

He was dressed like a phone repairman, but I called the telephone company, and

they said they hadn't sent anybody.

Do you have any idea who this guy was?

Look, I told you about the 13.

Yeah. Well, they have a damn good idea that I screwed up in Africa, and I think

they're going to kill me.

Today or maybe tomorrow at the latest.

Scared to go back into that apartment.

I don't know what they did in there.

Even if I do go back, they're going to get me anyway.

God, what am I going to do?

You're going to hide.

They'll find me.

You don't know these people.

I'm beginning to get a pretty good handle on them.

They won't stop until I'm dead.

This is all worked out. Mr.

Van Wells!

I'm giving you one minute to get your people out of here so these men can get

back to work. I'm sorry, Sheriff. Nobody works here. Not until the union

contracts are signed.

Fifty seconds!

Nobody works here!

That's right!

I said turn it off.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Channing. I didn't mean for this to happen. No way. I never

thought I'd be ashamed to say I know you.

And that goes for all of you.

You know, I've been with your union and you since it first started.

I certainly didn't expect this kind of behavior.

I warned you, Mrs. Channing. And I warned you. If you hadn't bogged down

contract in meetings, none of this would have happened.

Now, I want you to get out of here.

All of you.

Get out.

Get him out of here, Louie. Come on, guys. Let's go.

All right, all right.

Shame on you, Mark.

You okay,

man? Yeah.

Yeah? Oh, Richard, hi. It's Emma.

Can I talk to Maggie, please?

She's not here right now.

She's not, but she said she was going straight home.

When did she say that?

Did you see her?

We had lunch. Well, I did.

She wanted to talk. Well, Emma, what about?

Well, that's what I'm calling her about.

She seemed awfully upset, and I'm worried about her. What did she say?

Lots of things. She talked about you, about Chase, about the kids.

Emma, listen, I'll tell her that you called.

Sir, Mrs. Channing cannot be found in any... But I've also contacted

restaurants. It's all right, God. I think I know where she is.

You will be missed.

Well, Angela was right about that.

I do miss you, Chase.

God, I'm talking to a stone.

Maybe I do need some help.

I found the note.

I don't want to hear about it. I don't want to talk about John Remick. I don't

want to think about him.

I love you.

I love you. That's all that matters.

I don't want to make you unhappy. Honey, everybody's unhappy.

I mean, some of the time. I wasn't always happy with Jay.

I don't know. Maybe there's just no answer to this.

There's an answer.

You just need somebody to help you find it.

Okay, but...

I can't do it.

Locked away in some clinic somewhere.

I need to figure it out on my own, okay?

Let's go home, Mrs. Channing.

Yeah, it's a bomb, all right.

Nice piece of work, too.

How does that thing work?

Real clean.

The phone rings, the young lady picks up, the person at the other end hears a

voice, flips a switch, and kaboom.

Everything within ten feet is blown to kingdom come.

Um, what if I don't answer the phone?

Well, then, like you said, they'll find another way to get you.

Now, you see how easy it is when we cooperate with each other?

I never meant to make you an enemy, Mrs. Channing.

Well, I would advise you to stay away from Melissa and Gretty. First of all,

she's a troublemaker.

And she's also dangerous.

I could have come to you first.

If you had, Sesame Hospital wouldn't be filled with your men.

Louie, I brought this back from the winery.

It's one of the few bottles left.

About the damages.

Well,

let's get the grapes picked.

The winery can always be repaired.

But, Louie, if I lose that harvest... You won't.

You have my word on it.

I'll hold you to that.

It can't be serious.

I mean, this is madness.

Is this all we got?

Yes, sir.

It is bad news. Bad news. It's insanity.

Bad news I could live with.

All right, I'm going to have to go to New York. You call Rosemont. You tell

I want an emergency meeting scheduled for tomorrow night.

Very good, sir.

And Garth, you just remember that whatever happens, it's not my fault.

I never moved so fast in my life. Parker, the meter's ticking, man. Let me

disconnect this first. I don't want to give away any trade secrets.

Just make it quick. Cops are coming. Here's your plane ticket with the

money for you to get started.

Where am I going?

Mexico City. Then after that, you're unknown.

Catherine Anderson disappears under a sombrero.

I know my cigarettes went up in smoke.

Guess it's time to quit again.

Come on, sweetheart.

You've got a plane to catch.

Watch for my brilliant career.

Look, you've held my case against Richard, and I'll never forget you for

Lance, I'm in a no -parking zone. Want me to get a ticket?

I won't forget.

Okay, this is Hal Bart.

And this is my Uncle Frank's map.

You need glasses?

I'm sorry.

It's getting warm in here, isn't it?

Is it? Yeah.

Must be going through a midlife crisis.

No, I think you're going through a personality change.

You've really become a one -woman man, haven't you, Richard?

Yeah.

Simplifies things.

All right, we got Hobart and Channing Nevada. Now, as far as I can see,

only a small strip of land that separates the two.

That's right.

And if I buy this parcel of land, Angela's going to know what I'm doing.

If you buy it, she's just going to think that you're enlarging Channing.

Well, if I do buy it, what are we planning to do with it?

Oh, that's going to have to wait till our next little get -together.

No more dances.

I don't want to get beat up again.

Oh, I thought you had fun.

So are you going to help me?

There'd be a price.

No free lunches.

This price would be attached to your ex -husband.

What do you want me to do?

Spy on Lance?

No couch.

When I started my practice, I couldn't afford one.

Besides, I didn't want my patients falling asleep.

How long have you been in practice?

Fifteen years. Oh, you like it.

Well, I like it when I ask most of the questions.

Well, I'll tell you, calling was such a big step. Coming here was another one.

I'm not sure I have it in me for a third.

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

I need your help, Doctor. I need to... I need to get control of my life.

Well, Richard, don't keep us in suspense.

Tell us what's on your mind.

Your long -range plans.

Why you've been sitting around this table for the past God knows how many

months. Years, Richard.

Years. Doing what?

Plotting the economic destruction of the United States.

You have been busy, haven't you?

Well, I promise you we had every intention of letting you in on our

yeah? When?

When the stock market goes down another 500 points?

You're not planning to unleash a storm, gentlemen.

You're planning another Great Depression.

A black hole.

Large enough to swallow... This entire country.

No one at this table will fall in.

There are going to be riots in the street. People are going to be killing

other over a slice of bread. You'll be destroying everything that this country

stands for.

And for what?

For us.

Not for me.

I don't want any part of this.

But you are a part of it, Richard.

You've made your pact with the devil, and now you have the devil to pay.

Next, on Falcon Crest.

to me since I met you, Richard. This isn't going to last.

I never drank when I was with Chase.

Richard Channing's involved in an organization called The Thirteen.

Now, two people were on to him, Curtis Estabrook and John Remick.

Estabrook's dead. Remick has disappeared.

This battle is between my son and myself, and if you help him, you will

yourself my enemy.

You're working with Richard?

Guess we're both playing with magic, right? You have lived with me all of

life, and you still don't know how dangerous I can be.
