Previously on Falcon Crest. I've got an idea.

I thought if there's one thing you knew how to do, it was run a vineyard. Well,

I don't need you. I don't need anybody.

Why don't you just stay away from me? You still think they can treat us like

dirt, huh?

It's going to change, Pop.

I'm going to make it change.

Always before, Falcon Crest stood between us. It doesn't now.

Come with me when I go.

You're willing to let Melissa keep Falcon Crest?

Stop it!

This is my life we're talking about, and I'm going to live it any damn way I

please.

And tonight.

Oh, Charlie, you are impossible.

Perhaps my inner being is resisting burglary. Suppose you want to know about

Eric. He vanished off the face of the earth at the same time you fake your

murder. Am I supposed to believe that's a coincidence?

Please leave me alone!

I hate you!

Shut up!

You do that again, and it'll be the last thing you do.

I kept dreaming. I... I kept dreaming that you were alive over and over. Same

dream. Maggie, I'm sorry, but there was no other way.

The 13th.

Were they involved? Let's not talk about that now. Please, Richard, I need to

know. We had to break the power base of the 13th.

We? The government.

Until the 13th were rounded up. It seemed a good idea that I disappear.

Pretend to be dead.

You and the boys were in danger as long as I was alive.

We went to your funeral, Richard. Do you know how awful that was? They were

afraid you couldn't pull it off unless you really believed I was dead.

So we buried an empty casket? The coroner was one of Washington's people.

And where were you?

In Switzerland, outside of Geneva.

That's where the 13 are being held.

Originate was only supposed to be for a few days.

But the bottom line is the government didn't trust me and they didn't want to

let me go until the 13 were divested of all their financial interest. I had no

other choice.

I know it was a nightmare for you.

Believe me.

I did whatever I could to make sure you were taken care of.

Garth was here all the time.

He never let you alone for a minute.

Garth knew?

Yes.

Who else?

You could trust Angela and not me. Maggie, she was involved from the

It had nothing to do with trust.

This is all about trust. All of it.

Mommy, what's the matter?

Michael. Oh, God, Michael.

Michael.

Michael.

You're not my daddy. My daddy's dead.

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

It's okay. Don't be frightened.

Don't be frightened. See, it's your daddy.

Look, it's all right.

Michael. It's okay, baby.

It's bad.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm

sorry,

ma 'am.

But it's 3 a .m. I heard noises.

Look what I got Joseph.

It's his birthday next week.

He always loved teddy bears.

You don't even know who Joseph is, do you?

Joseph's my son.

He's my baby.

I'll help you up the stairs everything will seem better in the morning

Some sort of covert operation, Mr. Channing. Is that what you're saying?

saying that I have no further comment.

From the New Globe, I'm Terry Schooley reporting.

We're clear. Thank you, Mr. Channing. You're welcome.

Well, I see you haven't lost your touch.

How's Maggie?

She's fine.

Is that why you moved into the spa last night?

Well, after all, I own the place. Don't you think the management would keep me

appraised of what's going on? I think I can handle my domestic life on my own,

thank you. Uh -huh. Well, the jury's still out on that.

Well, I'm late for an appointment.

Oh, and by the way, good to have you back.

Mr. Harris?

Ah, Mrs.

Channing. How nice to see you again. Thank you.

It's ready. Oh, good.

Oh, my goodness.

It's a letter from Mark Twain to his Aunt Augusta in Rome, Georgia. Why, this

must be worth a fortune.

It's worth nothing.

It's a bad forgery.

Well, didn't he have an Aunt Augusta?

Oh, there was an Aunt Augusta, but she lived in Athens, Georgia, not Rome,

Georgia. You see, it's the little things that trip you up. Uh -huh.

Here we are.

Now, you won't find any mistakes like that in this.

You didn't have any trouble working from a photocopy, I see.

None at all.

Oh.

Counts to Harris.

I knew that you and I would get along quite well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, Channing, please, come in.

No, no, I'll come back when he's not so busy.

Tell him you were here.

Oh, hi. I'm sorry, Emma.

I'm sorry, sir, but you cannot go in here. Oh, yes, I can.

I tried to stop him, sir.

Talk to me, Channing. It's all right, Claudia.

We'll finish this later. Garth, show them out.

I suppose you want to know about Eric.

He vanished off the face of the earth at the same time you faked your murder.

Am I supposed to believe that's a coincidence?

No. It was no coincidence.

He tried to kill me.

You're out of your mind.

Why would he want to kill you?

He was working for the 13, Peter.

Boy, that's preposterous. It's also true.

If Garth hadn't replaced the bullets in his gun with blanks, I wouldn't be

standing here now.

Where is he?

I think the 13 had him brainwashed.

Channing, I asked you, where is he?

He's at the clinic, it says.

It's a sanitarium just outside Paris.

After the 13 finished using him, they hung him out to dry.

Harry couldn't handle it. He cracked up.

I made sure I got him some help.

Peter, I'm sorry.

Stavros has been calling me all afternoon, and I've been avoiding him.

Because that's what he wanted to tell me.

Eric.

Well,

you know, better sanitarium than a prison, I guess.

I loved Eric so much when I first met him.

Who would have ever thought it would end up like this?

Well, at least he didn't kill Richard.

Thank God for that.

You know, I was looking at you this morning when you were watching Richard

the news.

Despite everything he's done to you, you still love him, don't you?

Yes, I do.

How do you feel about Eric?

Sorry for him.

I'm glad he's out of my life.

You know, Mom, I was thinking maybe I'd go visit Cole in Australia.

I need to get away.

Oh, Vicki, no, not now.

Mom, you have to understand.

It would be really hard for me to stay here now that Richard's back.

I mean, every time I look at him, I'm going to think of Eric and how Richard

helped push him closer to the edge.

And if it wasn't for Richard, Eric never would have been involved with the 13th.

How long will you be gone?

I wish I could tell you.

I really don't know.

Thanks for fixing the pin so fast, Mr. Stern.

Tell your grandmother she has any more trouble with that pin to let me know.

don't worry. She will.

Hi.

Looks like you bought out every store in Tuscany.

They're not for me. They're for Joseph.

It's his birthday next week.

Trying to prove what a good mother you are?

I don't have to prove anything.

I am a good mother.

I gotta go.

Wait a minute.

I want to talk to you. Can we go get a cup of coffee?

No, I'm sorry. I have an appointment.

Oh, we have to stop meeting like this. And one of these days I'm going to learn

to look where I'm going. I'm sorry. No, no, it's my fault.

Oh, eating between meals?

No, too busy to eat lunch.

I'd ask you to join me, but I've got a meeting with that fellow over there

a new sprinkler system.

Maybe another time, okay?

No hurry.

Hey, how am I going to get you to be nice to me?

Do I have to go to your bank and ask you for a loan?

You are nice to your customers, aren't you?

Why would Lance Compton need a loan?

For a new sprinkler system?

Only fools invest their own money in private business ventures. You knew

You went to business school.

That's right.

So how about it?

Have dinner with me?

Not if you're going to be a customer.

I never mix business with pleasure.

You haven't done business with me.

Hi. Give a girl a ride home?

Car's right there.

You remember the way home, don't you?

I bet I could help you remember a lot of things.

Get out of my car.

I miss you. Out.

And then he got my neck. Oh, help me.

Hurry. Okay. Oh, good.

Okay, hurry up. It's time. Good. Okay, hurry up. Time.

All right. All right. Good. Okay. Now, so I thought to myself, aha.

Open the door.

Open the door. I opened the door. I went into the next room and there was a huge

dragon. There's no such thing as dragon. Oh, I wish there weren't. Ah, but there

he was. He was 30 feet high. A fire -breathing dragon.

And then he got me. He got me by the neck again. Come on, quick. Help me.

me. Help me. Get it off. Quick. Because if I can't get past this dragon, I won't

get home to see Michael and Kevin. What did you do?

All right, all right. Guys, guys, I'm sorry, but you're getting too excited.

You're never going to go to sleep, and it's way past your bedtime.

Come on, guys. All right, boys.

Darling. All right, get to bed.

This story will be... Okay.

We'll continue this story tomorrow night.

Sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams.

It sure does feel good to tuck them in again.

They don't understand why I'm not staying here.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as I was watching you.

I think it would be best for the boys if you were staying here, Richard.

Yeah.

I'm going to have the guest room made up.

We'll have a carnival theme for Joseph's birthday party.

We'll invite all the children in the Tuscany Valley.

And Cole can play the clown.

It'll be the best birthday party that Joseph ever had.

Melissa, are you ready?

Yeah.

Have a nice night.

What's wrong, Mr. Grady?

It's a pain. Are you all right?

I'd be a hell of a lot better off without that bitch, Angela Channing.

Find out what Angela's up to.

Well, how do you want me to help you? What do you expect me to do?

Make up a family legend.

How you've always heard.

The Falcon Crest really belonged to the Aggretti.

Well, it doesn't make sense.

If there was a legend, everybody would know about it.

Especially Angela Channing.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?

You're supposed to be on my side. You're supposed to care about me.

I do care about you.

I couldn't care more if you were my own daughter.

You don't even care about your own son. Why should I believe that you care about

me?

What do you know about Nick?

Only that the subject is taboo.

You must have been one hell of a rotten father, Uncle Frank.

That's a cheap shot.

Where'd you learn to play so dirty, Melissa?

From the best.

Angela Channing.

I gotta go.

Or teeny bone drive.

I think the gentleman is having what I'm having.

I'm surprised you even noticed I was gone.

I did.

Oh, really?

I asked your father where you were and he said you were visiting your aunt.

Then you started college.

Uh -huh.

And now look at you.

Not the skinny little kid you remember, huh?

I have to say I'm quite impressed with you, Miss Bank Executive.

You seem to know exactly where you're going.

That's because I know exactly where I've been.

Where you've been hasn't been that terrible.

You know, I remember once the three of us were playing together.

You, Melissa, and me.

And you two left to go to her birthday party.

I wasn't invited.

You didn't miss anything?

Yeah, I did.

A lot.

I guess I'm just making sure it never happens again.

It won't if I have anything to say about it.

Charlie, you are impossible.

Perhaps my inner being is resisting burglary. I'm only going after something

that's mine. Now, will you open the window?

There.

It's like the walls are causing it on me.

Just as I thought.

She hasn't even changed the combination.

Now that is ridiculous.

Melissa!

Sounds like Melissa's got her hands full.

Again. Please hurry, Mrs. Janney.

What if it isn't there?

Oh, yeah, a little faith.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just leave me alone.

What did I do?

You didn't do anything. I just can't breathe.

I need some air.

Sometimes I defecate.

Now relax. Now take a deep breath.

Too much is more like it.

And it's all hot.

Thank you, Claudia.

I take it you've been rehired.

Maggie, without Garth's help, I'd be dead.

Yeah, but would you excuse me, sir?

You're excused. Madame.

Clearing out all my things.

I made a summary of what I've done since you've been gone.

Pretty straightforward stuff.

Might have made a few mistakes. I don't think I bankrupt the company.

Everybody's been telling me what a great job you've done.

Maybe you'll want to stay on.

I don't think you want me here, Richard.

Cramp your style.

I want whatever makes you happy.

Thank you.

It's going to take me a while to figure out just what makes me happy.

Hello, Emma Channing.

Oh, Richard.

How are you?

Oh, how are you? I'm fine.

Richard, I am so glad that we have a chance to start all over again.

You know, not many people get that chance.

Richard, I am so ashamed for the way I treated you. Emma.

Living at Falcon Crest, it does terrible things to people.

I'm really not sorry that it's gone.

You just told me we get to start over.

So, dear Emma, here's to new beginnings.

Oh, speaking of new beginnings, I have something to show you. Huh?

What do you got?

Take a look at this.

Doesn't look like a Dear Emma column to me.

It isn't.

It's a big story I'm working on. That is, if you will let me.

ever hear of R .D. Young?

The mystery writer?

Sure, one of the best. Right up there with Chandler and Hammett. Well, the New

Globe is going to do a feature on him. We are?

R .D. Young's a recluse. You'll never get to him, Emma. I already have.

Well, sort of.

You see, he subscribes to the New Globe. He does?

Well, at least under the name of Ephraim Babcock, one of his fictional

detectives. Oh, very good.

And take a look at this.

These are all the classified ads that have been placed from that address.

Uh -huh.

And this is the one that comes out tomorrow.

Oh.

Marty Young.

All right.

Go ahead, but keep me posted. Okay.

You know, Peter, I'll never forget that last picnic we had.

I think it was one of the most romantic days I've ever had.

We were happy then, Angela, weren't we?

Yes. Then change your mind again and come with me.

Well, I... I just... I can't. Not right now.

I love you, Angela.

I always have.

Peter... If I ever leave the Valley...

It'll be with you.

May I help you?

I'm terribly sorry. I, uh... I...

I came about the secretarial job.

Richard, dispatch.

Richard, dispatch, please.

Hey, Carly.

Heard you were back.

Oh, yeah. What did I do? Make the morning news?

Well, how was Oklahoma?

Still there?

Yeah. But Dan wasn't.

I guess he must have run off with his ex -wife. What's her name?

No, he didn't. I got a letter from him. He's in Montana.

Oh, this is for you.

It's the power of attorney.

He tried calling you. When he couldn't reach you, he tried me.

Oh, great. So the minute I leave town, the jerk calls, right?

What am I supposed to do with the power of attorney?

Well, I think he wants you to sell fixed trucking and split the profits 50 -50.

Looks like a ship came in.

like to talk to you.

Well, Richard, I don't think that's such a good idea. Not right now.

Did you tuck the boys in?

Mm -hmm.

Good. I finished the story.

I sang a song to the dragon.

He fell asleep.

So do the boys.

Must be my singing.

Must be.

Wish it was that simple for us.

It can be.

Richard, please don't. I'll sing you a song.

Please don't, Richard.

Richard.

I can't.

I'm sorry, I can't. I just...

afraid to use it!

I told you I'm not going with you.

Vicki, please.

I wish you'd reconsider.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Come with me. I can't. I don't want to see Eric again, ever.

Look, I know he's caused you a lot of pain, but he's a very sick young man.

He wasn't then.

Well, maybe he was.

Maybe none of us realized it.

Right now he needs help.

You can afford the best.

Well, there's some things money can't buy.

I think Eric needs to know that someone cares.

Well, maybe you can fake it.

Look, I talked to his doctor.

There's not a lot of hope.

Vicki, I'm grasping at straws. If he doesn't respond to me, maybe he will to

you. I think it's worth a try.

Do you think I can forget everything that happened between us just like that?

Just see him once. No!

I'm a father pleading for his son's life.

Please.

Now, I checked out the vineyards. There are only two fields that are really

badly damaged.

But Melissa hired a brand new crew and they're doing fine.

So, Angie, lay off for a while.

Lay off?

She's hired an architect. She's going to tear the whole building down. Come on,

Angie, ease up. You see, mentally, I don't think Melissa can handle the

situation anymore. I want Falcon Press back before it's too late.

We'll call off the hearing just for now.

Get the court to cancel the... I have to have another look at that deed.

Now, we don't have to go to court if you feel so strongly about it. We could

have an informal meeting with our attorneys and us.

Fine. Well, all right, let's go. Come on.

Carly Fick?

Hi, I'm Pilar Ortega. I'm Tess, can I interest you? Oh, Tommy's sister, right?

Yeah, I heard you're a big deal at the bank. I'm working on it.

Well, I hope you're not here to drum up business, because if you are, I'm fresh

out of money.

Actually, I'm here because my brother told me this company is up for sale.

Is it ever?

Can we talk a minute?

Sure, sit down.

You see, part of my job is to put business deals together, and one of my

is the Compania del Pueblo.

I've never heard of that.

It's a consortium of local Hispanics, people who thought they'd never have the

chance to work for themselves.

Now, with the help of the bank, they do.

So what's that got to do with me?

We'd like to make you an offer.

A very generous offer.

Well, that's great.

I just thought this place would take forever to get rid of. Just tell me

to sign.

I wish everyone was as easy to do business with as you. You haven't even

the offer yet. Hey, if it's over $1 .98, I'll take it.

Listen, why don't you let me take the offer step by step?

I don't want you saying later that I tried to pull a fast one on you.

Oh, take care of it, Peter, please.

I will, if you'll let me, Vicki.

I'm glad I got home before you left.

I want you to know you're always welcome here.

Thanks, Richard.

Goodbye.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

I think we'd better get going. Peter, I hope your son comes out of it.

So do I, Danny, so do I.

I love you, Mom. I love you, too.

Come home soon, okay?

Go ahead.

The dial is... Pretty good, I must admit that.

But both the ink and the paper are of a sort.

Not even manufactured until the mid -1950s.

So, in your expert opinion, this document does not date from the 19th

Absolutely not.

Angela's experts should pay them off. Let's just listen to what they have to

say. Miss Martin, would you please give us your expert opinion?

Mr. Harris is right.

These marks here are a very crude attempt to make the document appear

it actually is. That's a lie!

She paid these people off and you know it!

You're not helping yourself, you know.

Am I supposed to just sit here like a good little girl and take it?

Perhaps we could hear from our expert now.

Mr. Singer, you testified this deed was genuine.

I know, but... You're changing your opinion?

Miss Segretti has certified that this document is that same deed.

Yes, but I have to agree with my colleagues.

Maybe there was a slip -up somewhere.

There wasn't any kind of a slip -up.

That deed is genuine, and you know it.

Oh, my God.

She got to you, too, didn't she?

How did you do it, Angela?

Oh, come on.

Tell us, so we all can know how clever you are.

Melissa, you can't fight expert opinions.

Now, why don't you sign Falcon Crest back over to me, and we can avoid a very

long trial.

You always win.

You always get everything, don't you?

There isn't enough in this whole wide world to satisfy you.

Well, you're not going to get Falcon Crest, you hear me? Hey, Melissa! Hey!

Shut up!

You do that again, and it'll be the last thing you do.

I was looking for you up at the house.

I've been looking all over for you.

You all right?

I've lost Lance.

I'm going to lose Falcon Crest.

I might as well just give it to Angela.

Look out there.

That's all yours. That's a gritty land.

They can't take that away from you.

It's not Falcon Crest.

I don't care what a hundred experts say. That deed is real.

Let it go, Melissa. You've got your own land.

Make your own name.

Forget about Falcon Crest.

She told you to say it, didn't she?

Of course not.

Oh, yes, she did.

Damn it, I'm telling you the truth.

Why don't you get away for a while?

Take a little trip.

Isn't there someplace in the whole world that you've always wanted to go?

Oh, sure.

Get me out of town.

It'll make things a lot easier for Angela, won't it? I'm not siding against

Melissa. I'm concerned about you.

Maybe you should go back to the clinic.

They helped you the last time.

Frank, go talk to her.

She'll listen to you.

Get her committed and declared incompetent.

And then we can get Falcon Crest and the Agredi lands. And Melissa won't have

anything left.

That's what she said, isn't it?

Oh, my God, Melissa.

That's what she said. I know it.

You know, you've got to listen to me. No!

You mean listen to Angela. Well, I won't, and nobody can make me.

You tell her. I'll find some way.

Richard, I was thinking of taking the boys to Australia for a visit.

I see.

I haven't seen...

Nicole or Joseph in a long time, and Vicki will be there soon. Maggie, I

you're running away, and that's not going to solve anything.

I know.

I just don't know what else to do.

Stay here so we can try and work things out.

So... Yes, Garth.

Mr. Channing, FBI.

Sorry to interrupt, but it's important.

Could we talk, please?

All right, what about?

12 international businessmen in their bodyguards were found murdered this

morning in Switzerland.

Murdered? Those businessmen were members of the 13.

Charlie, remind me to call Ken

Lone the first thing in the morning. I want him to move up that court date.

You know, Melissa's never going to give up that deed on her own.

Mrs. Gretty is a very disturbed young woman. Yeah, but she's getting worse all

the time. You know, I can't find my pen.

I'm going to have to ask Lance about that. I asked him to pick it up at the

jeweler's.

Mrs. Channing, sweet.

Just a moment.

It's Carly Fix.

Carly?

Hello?

Hi, Ang.

I wanted to call to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Oh, you've heard from Dan.

Yes, he called from Montana, and he said he wants me to meet him right away.

I guess we're going to try to work things out.

Well, I think that's good.

Ang, I feel kind of bad for cutting out on you like this. I mean, you've been a

really good pal to me, and maybe Dan and I will come back and visit you one of

these days.

Well, I certainly hope so.

Well, I gotta go pack, so I'm kind of in a hurry.

Aunt?

Yes?

You meant a lot to me.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Huh. She's going to Montana.

I'll miss her.

Well, you'll get over it.

Now, what about this chess game?

Hello?

Lance? Hello, Melissa.

Can you come over? I need to see you.

I can't. I've got a date.

Just for a little while.

I have something for you.

I need to talk to you.

Melissa, look, there's really nothing left for us to talk about.

Please.

I'm alone, really alone.

I'm scared.

It's me against Angela and the world.

Come on now, it's not that bad.

Okay, I'll come over.

Oh, no, no, not the pearls.

I feel like diamonds tonight.

Yes, Mr. Grady.

Mr. Compson's here.

I'll go get the door. No, I'll get it.

You can take the rest of the night off.

Are you sure, ma 'am?

Yes.

Yes, I'm sure.

All right.

Hello, Lance.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Come in.

I can't stay long.

You don't seem upset.

Well, I hope that's a compliment.

Okay, you won, Melissa. You got me here, and now I'm leaving. No.

I just wanted to apologize and to give you this.

Remember the night we went out dancing together and that nice couple took our

picture? We looked so happy together.

Why don't you keep this?

No.

I want you to have it.

Um, well, you don't want to keep your date waiting.

It's with Pilar, isn't it?

Yeah.

Well, just between us, I think you can do a lot better.

Thanks. But I'm a big boy. I can make my own dates.

Yeah, you are.

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm fine.

Sweetheart, I love you so much.

Do you love me?

I mean, if somebody walked up to you in the middle of the street and asked you,

Joseph, now, do you love your mother?

What would you say?

I know you do.

I just wanted to hear you say it.

Just remember, honey.

Your mommy loves you more than anything in this whole wide world.

Now.
