Previously on Falcon Crest. Melinda!

You have lost me, you have lost your mother, and if you keep on going this

Richard, you are going to end up losing your children too. What makes you think

that judge is going to find me sane?

I think you're sane.

But you still don't believe that Richard kidnapped me.

Regal Puget Ruby?

What the hell for?

Possession of drugs.

And tonight.

We will show proof that Mrs. Angela Channing is mentally disabled. She

incidents that never happen.

Do you believe your husband kidnapped his mother and held her captive? I

Richard Channing is capable of almost anything.

I love my mother. She is a very sick woman.

You are a liar.

Objection. You are a damn liar.

What the hell are you doing here? We have trouble, Mr. Compson. What do you

me to do?

Something that will change your whole life.

Are you game?

That's the woman.

The one who pretended to be Melissa O 'Grady.

Quiet!

Quiet in the court!

Quiet!

Quiet in the court!

Are you all right, Mrs. Channing?

Shall I call for an adjournment?

No, thank you, Your Honor.

Just stay calm, Angela. Don't give Richard any more ammunition to use

you.

Mr. Loomis, present your opening argument.

Your Honor, we will show proof that Mrs. Angela Channing is mentally disabled

and incapable of handling her own affairs.

We will also show that she is paranoid, delusional...

and has exhibited violent tendencies and is a danger to herself and to others.

We will ask the court to appoint her son, Mr. Richard Channing, as her

conservator. Mr. Lone.

Your Honor, we will show that Richard Channing has ulterior motives for trying

to get conservatorship of Mrs. Channing.

And we will present Mrs. Channing as a functioning and capable businesswoman

a respected member of her community.

Mr. Loomis, present your first witness.

I call Dr.

Quentin King to the stand.

Oh, Maggie, can I talk to you?

Excuse me, sir.

Hello, Calvin.

Hi. Can I make up a coffee? No, I'm sorry, I don't have the time. Well, can

give me a minute?

Look, Maggie, uh...

We both care a lot about the welfare of Tuscany, and we're both reasonable

people. Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like this? I want you to

to the Ortegas.

Aha, I knew it. We've made him a fair offer. Look, why are you talking to me

about this, Calvin? You should be talking to Cesar Ortega. Ah, he won't

to reason.

Maybe that's because his son almost died.

Do you want us to lose the only hospital that Tuscany has? No, of course I

don't. I just want it to be a good hospital.

Maggie, will you please stop writing those articles? Because Sacramento's

to be asking questions. Calvin, I am running a newspaper. I report the facts.

I'm sorry if that causes you problems.

There will be changes, Maggie. I promise you. Great.

When there are changes, the hell will be the first one to report it. I promise

you. Excuse me.

And did Mrs. Channing threaten to kill her son?

Yes, she did.

What did you conclude from your findings?

Well, my colleagues and I, after close examination, find Mrs. Channing to be

suffering from a paranoid disorder.

Please explain this.

Well, she thinks Richard Channing kidnapped her.

She thinks that a woman impersonating Melissa Gretti was brought in to torment

her. She has delusions. She imagines incidents that never happen.

Thank you.

And the tests you made on Mrs. Channing, what did they prove?

We conducted many tests.

Which ones are you referring to? Specifically, the test for senile

Well, they showed Mrs. Channing to be normal for a woman of her age.

Thank you.

Dr. King, you've just said that Mrs. Channing is paranoid and delusional.

Yet you also say that her brain shows no signs of senile dementia.

See, to a layman, those statements seem contradictory.

No, not at all. It's quite possible for a person to have a paranoid disorder.

and show no physical evidence of senile dementia.

Paranoid.

Thank you.

Mr. O 'Grady, you've testified that you've known Angela Channing all your

Yes, that's right.

Ever know her to lie?

Objection. Irrelevant.

I don't know it.

Answer the question.

No, I never have.

You're under oath, Mr. O 'Grady. I'm aware of that, Counselor.

Did Mrs. Channing tell you that she was kidnapped and taken to a penthouse in

the New Globe?

Yes.

And did you see this mysterious penthouse, Mr. Elgrady?

Yes.

Well, describe it for the court.

Well, when I saw it, it looked like an old abandoned office.

Ah.

Mr. Algrady, I show you exhibit number one.

Can you identify this for us?

Mrs. Angela Channing's passport.

Are you aware, Mr. Algrady, that Mrs. Channing claims that she was kidnapped

her way to the airport before she ever left the country?

Yeah.

Could you read for us the point of departure for the last entry?

Athens, Greece.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if Thompson showed up at your house with

offer. Well, who cares? It's not about the money.

I think all he has to do is wave a few checks in front of our faces and we'll

jump. Stick to your guns, Tommy.

Hello. Can we help you?

Yes, Mrs. Channing, I'm Duncan Parker.

I own Parker's Hardware.

And I want to cancel my ad.

Why, Mr. Parker?

Well, my wife and I, we're...

Simple people.

We believe in the sanctity of the home and the family.

So do I.

Well, that's not the way I heard it.

So, just cancel my ad.

What have you heard, Mr. Parker?

Please, Mrs. Channing, don't make me spell it out.

If you're too embarrassed to say it, it probably isn't true.

What you do is your business, Mrs. Channing.

And I know you rich people like to think you can make up the rules for

yourselves. But there are a lot of us here in Tuscany who like to do things

old -fashioned way.

If you get my meaning. No, we don't get your meaning. What are you trying to

say? Young man, you broke up a home that had two small children.

You should both be ashamed of yourselves.

How long have you worked for Mrs. Channing?

Forty years.

In that time, has she ever exhibited signs of mental incompetency?

Never. Is it in her character?

To lie about something as extraordinary as being kidnapped and held by Richard

Channing? Mrs. Channing does not lie.

Thank you.

Your witness?

Uh, no questions, Your Honor.

Except, uh, where do you find help like that these days?

He's just dismissed his entire testimony.

Oh, great hot dogs.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

I love dining al fresco. Good.

Great day, Garth.

Great life.

Even greater for one for that damn SEC investigation.

But the competency hearing is going well, sir. I know. That's because nobody

believe anyone would be capable of kidnapping his own mother.

How will they underestimate you, sir? It's highly aggravating, you know. Yeah.

So, tell me, how did you leave Samantha?

Frightened, I am happy to say. Good.

Maybe she'll learn a lesson.

We'll rescue her next week.

Oh, smile, darling.

You get to go back to Paris?

In the spring?

Mrs. Channing, you've testified that Mr. Channing would not be an appropriate

conservator for his mother because of a conflict of business interests. That's

correct.

Now, would you say that you're an impartial judge of your husband's

Objection. Sustained.

Mrs. Channing, you recently lost custody of your children to Mr. Channing. Isn't

that right?

And at that custody hearing, did Mrs. Angela Channing testify on your behalf?

No, she didn't.

Why was that?

My lawyer didn't think it was necessary.

Isn't it really that your lawyer didn't think that he should call a mentally

disabled witness?

Objection! Sustained. Stick to the point, Mr. Loomis.

Mrs. Channing, do you really believe your husband kidnapped his own mother

held her captive for seven days?

I believe Richard Channing is capable of almost anything.

Mrs. Channing, answer the question.

I suppose it's possible.

Mrs. Channing, a simple yes or no, please. Do you believe your husband

his mother and held her captive?

No.

You're

excused.

I call Richard Channing.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Go to hell.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, to

you God? I do. Be seated.

Please state your name. Richard Channing.

Mr. Channing, what is your relationship to Angela Channing?

I'm her son.

Did you initiate proceedings that resulted in your mother being taken to a

psychiatric hospital for evaluation?

Yes, I did.

Why did you do that?

When she returned from a trip to Greece, she was quite ill and exhausted.

Objection. Mr. Channing is not a doctor.

Sustained.

Mr. Channing, what happened when your mother arrived home?

She claimed that I had kidnapped her.

And then she kept saying that I had brought in a woman who looked like

Gretti in order to drive her mad.

Did you do these things?

No, of course not.

I love my mother.

And I only want what's best for her.

But she is a very sick woman.

Damn, you're a liar.

Objection. You are a liar.

Mr. Channing, you say you have your mother's best interests at heart.

Yes. Would you explain to the court how you would like to see these proceedings

resolved?

I would like her released to my care so that she can continue to live at home,

Falcon Crest, and receive the best psychiatric care available, and

finally be free of the stress of business, which obviously is very taxing

mind.

I will see you in hell first.

There will be no more outbursts in this courtroom. But, Your Honor... Mr. Lone,

restrain your client or I'll have her removed from the courtroom.

Angela, calm down.

Please, dear, calm down.

Well,

now I know where I get my temper.

You've got until, uh...

Monday noon to calm down and collect yourself.

Is Richard going to testify again?

Yes, and I'll cross -examine him.

I'll try to undo the damage he's done.

And the damage I've done.

It's an uphill battle, Angela.

Well, now, those are the kind Grandma likes winning the most.

Your grandson's an optimist. I get that from her, too.

Look, Lance, I would like to talk to Ken privately for a moment. Do you mind?

Why? Well, honey, I'm all right.

I mean, I can't get into any more trouble here.

So you go on home to your pretty wife.

Okay.

Listen, Kenneth.

I have a plan.

What kind of loads are you taking?

Sherpa's plugs. They're the best at that.

What time do you want to start out?

As early as you like, as far as I'm concerned. I just want some peace and

Away from lawyers and courtrooms.

How's it going?

Not the greatest.

Angie screamed at Richard in the courtroom.

Not that I blame her.

Oh, Frank, I forgot to tell you.

Nathan Farley called.

Who's that?

That detective that I hired.

He'll be picking up those forged stock certificates from Harris.

Still with the cloak and dagger stuff, huh?

Why don't you give it a rest, Nick?

Fight fire with fire, Frank.

As soon as we get those certificates in our hands, we nail him.

Hey, kid.

Hi. I'm going over to Gabriel's for a minute. Hey, you're going nowhere.

You're grounded, remember?

Come on, Dad. It's just for a minute. No, Ben.

Hey, don't forget we're going fishing tomorrow morning.

No, you guys go without me. I got some homework to do.

Come on, you can do your homework when you get back.

No, thanks.

I don't know what I'm gonna do with that kid.

Listen, just take it easy on him.

He's going through a rough period right now. Just give him time to get over

losing Anna. How much time, Frank?

When do I get him back?

I know my grandmother's up to something.

Lance, what can your grandmother possibly be up to? Look where she is. It

doesn't matter. I just hope that whatever it is doesn't get her in more

You better go.

All right.

Thanks for indulging me.

I had a craving for chocolate cream pie.

It's delicious.

These are cravings?

You aren't. No, no, no. I'm not.

But you want to go home and work on it?

Yeah. Yeah?

Good night, Sherry. Good night.

Yeah, she's talking to his girlfriend.

I'm going to take care of this. Okay.

Hi, Kelly.

Hello, Laura. How are you? I haven't seen you in a while.

Didn't Tommy tell you?

Tell me what?

We broke up.

Oh, Kelly, I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

Things were really going great for us before we started working at the Herald.

Yeah, I know.

His work takes up a lot of his time.

No, it's not his work.

It's Maggie Channing.

What are you talking about?

She's in love with her.

Kelly, it's strictly a professional relationship.

She's helped him a lot.

I didn't say that she was in love with him.

I want to help, Mrs. Channing.

I'm not sure I did.

Well, it's going to be okay, Charlie.

You expecting anybody?

Uh, no.

One moment.

Mr. Harris to see you, Hans.

Yeah, uh, show him to the study, Charlie.

This won't take long.

What the hell are you doing here?

We have trouble, Mr. Cumson.

Someone broke into my shop.

A copy of the forgery I made for your grandmother is missing.

Someone is on to me.

It's only a matter of time before the police get involved.

Okay, look, I think you're getting ahead of yourself.

Now, you get break -ins all the time in your area, don't you? Look, I've been to

prison once.

I don't intend to go back again.

I did your grandmother a favor.

I'm not going to pay for it with another prison sentence.

You won't have to, as long as you keep your mouth shut.

What if the police come looking for me?

Do you have any other copies?

Yes.

Burn them.

That way, no one will be able to tie you to anything.

I took a big risk for your grandmother.

Mr. Harris, if you're trying to blackmail us, forget about it. I already

that my grandmother's paid you well for your services.

Just keep quiet.

Now this is what Daddy's been building.

This is the Glambratic Winery, the largest winery in California.

It's not bigger than Grandma's. No, it is, too.

It's much bigger.

One of these days, you'll want to build one even bigger.

Why? Why? Because that's the way things are. That's why.

Parents, we start things and then you children come along and make things

bigger, make them better.

If you didn't, there wouldn't be any progress.

Grandma says there's nothing better than talking crap. Michael, be careful. I

want to tell you something. Grandma doesn't know what she's talking about

the time. She's not always right.

I miss Grandma.

I'm going to see her.

Oh, soon.

Very soon.

$25 ,000 is a lot of money. Let's just take it. It's not about the money. It's

about the responsibility.

And I just don't like their attitude, Gabriel.

Listen, if we hold out a little longer, they'll come up with a decent offer.

I want this to be over.

The whole town's mad at us. The kids at school won't even talk to me. What we

are doing is right.

Nobody listens to me. Nobody cares what I think.

Man, I don't get that kid. It's his life that they wrecked. Enough. No more

discussion. I'll talk to Gabriel.

I don't want him to get more upset. It could cause another attack.

Gabriel.

Gabriel.

I ran into Kelly last night.

Yeah, that's nice.

She told me you broke up.

That's right. So what?

So I was surprised.

Since when are you so interested in the details of my love life?

Tommy, I'm your sister. I care about you.

Did you break up with Kelly because of Maggie Channing?

It's none of your business. Tommy.

Tommy, please be careful.

Maggie is Richard Channing's wife, and he's very dangerous.

So don't even think about getting in his way.

Smokehouse.

Well, that's the third advertiser we've lost this week.

I'll call them. No.

You were right to their opinion.

Look, we knew we'd have these problems when we started this story. We can't

afford to lose any more advertisers, Maggie.

Hey! Hey!

Hi, guys!

My little workforce. Hi, sweetie.

Uh, fellas, we need some help over here with the computers.

I guess losing advertisers is the downside of the newspaper business, huh?

If you ever decide to sell, you know where to reach me.

You wouldn't be behind all of this, would you, Richard? Maggie, I don't have

sabotage your business. You seem to be doing a pretty good job of that on your

own. All right, boys, Daddy has to go.

I'll see you this evening. Oh, jump!

Jump! Bye, Daddy. Bye, honey.

Mommy,

are you going to marry Tommy Ortega?

Where did that question come from?

The kid from school said you were going to marry him. Is it true?

No, honey, of course I'm not going to marry Tommy. He's just a friend, that's

all. I'll see you this evening. Okay, bye -bye.

Man of the hour here.

Perfect timing.

Mr. Channing!

Mr. Channing!

What?

Look, sir, I know what people are saying, and it isn't true.

Maggie and I have never... Listen, boy.

I know my wife better than you or anyone else, and I don't need testimonials

about her feelings from you.

I know you forged the deed, Angie.

I can't prove it, but I know you did it.

That was wrong, Angie.

Well, I got my land back.

That's what matters.

You know, I've been thinking.

All the years of fighting and the deaths.

My brother Carlo, Melissa.

Throughout it all, you and I have remained friends.

A Gioberti and a Negretti friends.

Best friends.

How the hell is that possible?

Because you always knew I was right.

What are you talking about? I always turn a blind eye to your faults.

Well, you did the same for me.

No, we just always accepted each other, that's all.

Sometimes we expect the impossible from our friends.

But we always know that friendship will hold.

What do you want me to do?

Something that will change your whole life.

Are you game?

Room service.

Yeah, this is Mrs. Channing. Could you please send up a bottle of brandy?

You've changed my mind. I'm sorry.

Have you heard from Emma?

No, but I talked to Daniel's publishers.

He's tracking them down.

What about Julia?

She's in a convent in Italy on some retreat.

Oh.

Grandmother, what's going on?

Does something always have to be going on? I just want to see my daughters.

You know what I mean. Now, you got Kenneth Lone running around all over

you. Why?

He has other clients besides me.

Now, why is it that everyone thinks that I'm always up to something?

Okay.

Don't get all worked up now.

Everything's going to be okay.

Now, don't talk to me like I'm the village idiot. I'm not crazy.

If I want my daughters with me, there is nothing wrong with that.

Alyssa was so young when she died.

Yes, she was.

Come over here a minute.

Meet great -grandfather Franco.

Born 1870, died 1905.

Boy, he was young, too. Yep.

How'd he die?

He was murdered by Paolo Gioberti.

What happened?

Ah, who knows.

I guess Franco was a hothead, and Paolo hated him because he was an agretti.

You see, the agrettis and the Giobertis spent their whole lives fighting.

Not living.

Fighting.

Where'd you go, buddy?

I was just thinking.

Like I said, it's been rough on you, but it's been hard on your old man, too.

Don't shut him out, huh?

Yeah, we'll tell them to stuff it.

$100 ,000?

I don't think they'll go any higher than that.

Yeah, they will.

If we keep pushing.

Pop, do you really want to go to court?

Huh? It's not going to be easy to prove negligence, you know.

I want this to be over.

For Gabrielle's sake.

And for yours, too.

What are you talking about?

What everybody else is talking about. You and Maggie Channing. It's a lie!

Pop, those are vicious rumors.

Come on, you don't believe them. It doesn't make a difference if I believe

not. Everybody else does. Pop, why would I have an affair with Maggie Channing

if I'm going to marry Kelly?

What?

I'm going to marry Kelly.

it was urgent.

What's so urgent?

I wanted you to see this.

You notice anything?

What am I supposed to notice?

They're working.

It's Sunday.

Paying double time?

You better believe it.

I want to get this job done as soon as possible.

Tuscany's going to be one of the most prosperous communities in the state, my

dear.

After this is all done, I think I'll run for governor.

After all, everybody loves me.

Everybody?

Almost everybody. I have enough people to get me elected.

Ah, but at what cost, Richard? What does it matter to you? You're going to come

out of this just fine.

That's true.

But then again, so will you, Richard.

Hey, we're rich enough to move out of the valley when it becomes so ugly and

polluted that we can't live here anymore.

You are so sanctimonious.

You keep it up, you'll have me convinced that you care for something besides

yourself. That happens to be true. Now listen to me, lady. You may have

convinced Lance that you love him with all your heart, but you're never going

convince me.

Well, I don't give a damn what you believe.

You really think you have it all now, don't you, Richard?

You've made a lot of enemies, including your own mother.

Believe it or not, I love my mother.

I don't know, maybe you do.

But the way I see it, you got in the way of a deal, so you had to get rid of

her.

Some love.

How much is enough, Richard?

Kelly.

Listen, can I talk to you just for a second?

I'm working. Just for a second.

Just for a second, I just want to talk to you.

Please?

Okay, Tommy.

Make it fast.

Okay, make it fast.

Okay.

Fast, right.

Marry me.

You're a riot.

I'm serious.

Listen, I know I said some things to you that I shouldn't have.

And I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.

I just was... I was just angry at things.

But I always cared about you.

Really? What happened? Did Maggie Channing turn you down?

No, that's not it.

I'm not good enough for you, Tommy.

I may not say it, but it's what you think.

So, you know what?

I'm going to hold out for somebody who thinks I am good enough.

Am I interrupting?

You?

Never.

Dad, I really screwed up the fishing trip this morning.

No, I just... I want to apologize.

There'll be others.

Dad,

there's something I really want to talk to you about.

I don't know. It just seems that since Mom died, that things have been bad

between us.

I know, Ben.

And I'm sorry.

I know how much you miss her.

Yeah, but it's not just her that I miss.

I miss you, too.

I know how much you loved her.

I did love her.

Probably always will.

But with us, it's something different, something special.

Father and son.

And friends.

You got it.

Dad, I don't want us to fight like that anymore.

No more.

I'm sorry.

Make him see reason that this comes in. 100 ,000 is a lot of money.

Really?

My brother has epilepsy.

How much is that worth?

Well, perhaps we could come up with a little more, but... Mr. Thompson, why

you even here?

Why are you talking to my father?

Frankly, Mrs. Thompson, because I thought that you would see our point of

little more easily.

You're a well -educated, sophisticated woman.

I'm sure that you understand the complexities of the situation.

Well, I've got news for you, Mr. Thompson.

My father's real good at complexities in two languages.

You know, before you came here today, I was on your side.

But now that you've explained the complexities of your position, I'm

certain we will not accept your offer.

Enterprising sons of bitches, I'll say that for them.

What?

You read this one?

No, not yet.

It says it all right here.

My great -granddaddy, Franco, won Falcon Crest from Paolo Giaberti by cheating

him in a poker game.

You mean the Giaberti stole Falcon Crest? That's right, and that's not all.

Paolo got mad and murdered Franco.

You're joking. I'm not joking. It's all right there.

Listen.

To hell with all this deed business, whether it's real or phony.

Now, why don't you call that detective of yours and send him a check and fire

him? It's not that simple, Frank.

The fact is that Angela blackmailed me, and Lance was in on it. You don't get

it, Nick.

Nobody from day one has been in the right about all this. I'm sick of it.

get this feud over now.

Sorry, Frank, I can't do it. Why?

Because my duty is still to Melissa and Joseph, and I betrayed them.

I'm going to nail Lance and Angela.

Honey, can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

I don't quite know how to ask you this. What?

What is it? Just ask.

Anything.

Anything? Anything.

Okay. I want to borrow $4 million.

That's funny. I'm serious.

You want it in 20?

Lance, I'm not kidding.

Seriously.

You're not kidding?

Mm -mm.

What do you want with $4 million?

Just a little business deal.

Will you lend it to me?

No, I will not lend you $4 million.

But I think we can come to some sort of arrangement.

Yeah? Maybe.

And, um, what do you have in mind?

Sell me $4 million worth of Glenradic stock.

Will you vote with me?

I don't know, if I can.

If you can?

You're a real killer, you know that?

Coming from you, that's a compliment.

Deals, deals.

I've taken a long time to think about this.

Well, will you do it? Yes.

If it's what you really want.

It is.

I can't approve of this, Angela.

Father Bob, it's the only way.

It isn't right.

But you're my friend. You don't want to see me locked up in an institution or

put into Richard's hands, now do you? Father Bob, I've always trusted Angie's

instincts. If she thinks it's right, I can't argue with her.

Don't do this, Angela.

Well, under the circumstances...

It's the only thing I can do.

Well, thank you for meeting me on such short notice, gentlemen.

Oh, my pleasure.

Everyone on the board of Tuscany Hospital would like to see a happy end

unhappy affair.

I assume that your father is dropping the lawsuit against us.

Providing we can agree to certain things.

Mr. Higgins, here's a check for $4 million.

I want to establish a trauma center for the Tuscany Hospital.

Oh, Mrs. Thompson, I'm amazed and delighted.

Don't rush out and cash it just yet, Mr. Higgins.

Because there are two conditions.

First of all, the trauma center must be called the Ortega Trauma Center.

Done. And second, I want everyone who is involved in my brother's case, that

admissions nurse, the emergency room doctor, everyone who contributed to the

negligence, is to be dismissed.

Now really, Mrs. Thompson... And there's one more thing.

You will submit your resignation today.

Agreed?

Agreed. Good.

You got yourself a drama center.

Now, wait a minute, Higgins. Have a nice day, gentlemen.

Looks like he got scared and ran.

Has somebody got to him?

Doesn't matter.

You won't see him again.

Angela Channing wins.

Again. Thanks to a grandson.

Send me your bill, Mr. Farley.

Appreciate your effort.

What are you going to do now?

I'm going to put an end to this whole thing.

You paid him off, didn't you?

Prove it.

Or apologize.

I can't prove it.

But I know it.

And so do you.

You and your grandmother got Falcon Chris back on a forged deed.

You cheated Melissa's son out of his land.

And you lied to me. I don't have to listen to this.

I can't trust you.

And I can't work with you anymore.

I want you to sell me your half of Tuscany Hill.

What, are you crazy?

I'm going to sell you my own land. Our land.

I bought half of it.

I'm the one that turned it into a functioning vineyard.

I got a better idea. I'll buy you out.

That way, you can move the hell out of Tuscany and out of my life.

I'm not leaving Tuscany.

And I'm going to make you sell.

You do that.

And don't slam the door on the way out.

What do you want? I want to talk to you. I'm late, Tommy. Listen, I want to talk

to you.

I want us to get back together.

Why? I told you, I love you.

I know what this is all about, but it's not funny.

Hey, let's go away for a weekend.

We'll go to Tahoe and have some fun like we used to.

I don't know.

Come on, honey, don't make me beg.

I don't know.

I mean, first you tell me that you don't love me, and then you tell me that you

do.

I'm just getting used to the idea of being without you, and then here you are

again. Listen, it's just a weekend. It'll be fine.

We'll have a great time.

I'll think about it.

I've got to go to work now.

I'll call you later, all right?

I've been with my grandmother ever since she came back after having been

kidnapped. She seems perfectly all right to me.

And you believe she was kidnapped?

Yes, I do.

Why do you think Richard Channing kidnapped Mrs. Channing? Objection. Your

Honor, Mr. Cumson wasn't called as an expert witness in this matter.

Overruled. I'll allow it.

Answer the question.

To prevent her from voting against him at the Glenn Braddock board meeting,

Richard Channing had a lot rotting on that vote.

Could you tell us what?

A multi -million dollar development scheme in the Tuscany Valley.

And the elaborate story about the Melissa O 'Grady lookalike?

I believe it to be true.

Mr. Compson, why do you think Mr. Channing has brought a charge of mental

disability against Mrs. Channing?

So he could be appointed her guardian.

Why is that important?

So that he can control her estate and she won't be able to stop him.

Putting Richard Channing in charge of my grandmother is like putting the fox in

charge of the chicken coop.

Does it occur to you that her grandson Lance would be the appropriate

conservator for Mrs. Channing?

It occurs to me that he tried to kill her.

I want that stricken from the record. Mr. Compson was tried on that charge and

exonerated. Strike that.

Mr. Channing, let me review the facts for a moment.

You and Mrs. Channing are opponents in a business deal involving the Valley.

And you are asking for a conservatorship of Mrs. Channing should she be declared

mentally disabled.

That's right.

Mr. Channing, does any of this strike you as a conflict of interest?

No.

The only interest I have is my mother's welfare.

I want her to be able to live out her days in peace and comfort.

The most difficult thing in the world is to try to prove your own sanity.

If there was one test of your mental competence, what would it be?

My whole life.

I find Angela Channing mentally disabled to conduct her affairs.

Conservatorship is awarded to her son, Richard Channing.

Your Honor, may I approach the bench?

The court is still in session.

Poetic justice, Garth.

Angela's lost the one thing that meant more to her than anything, including her

children.

Falcon Crest belongs to me now, and I don't even want it.

That'll be all, gentlemen.

Quiet in the courtroom.

Due to information just presented, conservatorship is now awarded to Angela

Channing's husband, Frank Agretti.

Next, on FalconCraft.

Hi, everybody.

Hey, Emma. With you living at Falcon Crest, I have a spy in the enemy camp.

I have no intention of forgetting what you did to me.

Are you all right? I still love him, Emma. You're overreacting. I'm going to

hell! Kelly!

I can't swim!

Kelly! I want him convicted of kidnapping.

She'll keep going until she finds something. But what? We need a smoking

Hello? I'm here to see Angela Channing.
