Previously on Falcon Crest. The doctors say Angela won't recover anyway.

She'd probably want somebody to pull the plug.

Just a little air bubble.

You didn't do it. I didn't do it and I never would. The guy's name's Michael

Sharp. He's the one that took my boys from me. You wanted kids, you got kids.

Whoever gets Falcon Crest in the will, stands the best chance of running it

She gave Falcon Crest to me?

If you're Emma Cabot.

I'm Emma St. James. We just got married last night.

bit left a bit down a bit come on come on come on come on keep coming keep

coming keep coming what a bit

Come on, come on.

Hey, well done, Cap. Well done, Cap.

Down here, little girl.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you. I could eat you alive.

I need to hear.

You too. Get over here.

Emma Channing, St. James, Tuscany Valley, the entire state of California.

I'd like to introduce you to my brother, Mr. Ian St. James, and his little

flower of a bride, Sydney.

I thought the first order of business should be to throw the biggest kick in

butt bash this valley has ever seen, St. James style. I'm going to call it the

Buckus Festival.

Well, I thought it would be a good idea for us to meet the little people.

Who are the little people?

Well, you know, Great Growers Association, another winery owner, local

So, um, where did you fly in from?

We were up north.

Is that where you live?

First stop, I want you to meet Emma's mother.

Here we are, then.

I

still

can't accept this, you know.

In my heart, I know she's here with us.

She's trapped in there.

But she knows we're here and we love her.

She does, Emma.

I like to think so.

Angela?

I'd like to introduce you to my family.

This is my brother, Ian, and his lovely wife, Sydney.

Sydney, say hello to Angela.

I don't feel very well.

All right, my angel.

We'll leave in a minute.

Hello there.

See this O -ring here?

It literally supports the entire machine.

Every unit has one.

Incredible how much money can be made by pumping oxygen into a lifeless set of

lungs.

Ian's the business brains of the family, love.

He graduated top of his class, London School of Economics.

He's going to help us run the business, aren't you, Ian?

What do you mean he's going to help us run the business?

You don't make a decision like that without consulting with me.

Let's not have this discussion here, my love.

Right, next stop, Falcon Crest.

Come on, my love.

Toodle -oo.

No, it's all right. I know what you mean.

Yeah.

You're right.

I'll call him later.

You too.

Oh, Maggie.

God bless you.

Not doing too good without you, girl. The boys are gone. Falcon Crest is gone.

I'm not the man I used to be, kid.

Hello, Jack. How's the family?

This is Mission Control for the finest winery in Tuscany Valley.

Charlie, do you really want to do this now? Ian and Sidney must be tired.

So we're a couple of days late. You guys are going to get paid.

A couple of days late? Lance, you've been telling me the same thing for the

week. I haven't seen a dime.

I know. I know. We've had some problems. You know, things are starting to settle

down. I never once had a problem with Angela. And you won't have a problem

me either.

What is going on?

Nothing I can't handle. Yeah, looks like it to me.

Where's your beef, Uncle?

I'll tell you what my beef is, pal. I want to get paid.

I suppose I ought to get used to that refrain.

You won't get a nickel out of me till you quiet that shirt down, know what I

mean?

Just a joke.

You're all right.

Tell you what, you come back in the morning, I'll pay you what you owe, plus

weeks in advance. How's that sound?

Who is this guy?

I don't know.

I'm Emma's husband.

I'm running this circus.

Live with it.

So, manana.

Listen, cowboy.

If you're going to work for me, I think you'd better learn to handle simple

tasks without calling to me for help, don't you?

Look, Charlie, as far as I'm concerned, your brother and his underage wife can

visit any time they want, but they are not moving in.

No, I don't believe what I'm hearing. I really don't.

Haven't I completely embraced your family?

I mean, I visit your mother every day, sometimes twice a day.

I know you do, Charlie, and it touches me, but that is not the point.

My brother and I are close, Emma.

Very close.

It's just something you're going to have to accept.

And I am your wife.

Now we are married.

And that is something that you and your brother are going to have to accept.

That's something that I embrace.

Now listen to me, little girl.

Your mother left some very big shoes to fill.

I mean, the woman was a giant, is a giant.

And we need what she took with her.

The element of genius.

And that's why Brother Ian is here.

To make us strong again, know what I mean?

Hi.

Hi, honey.

Want some help?

Where's the boys?

I thought you were going to pick them up.

At school, they said their father picked them up.

Oh, my God.

No. Why not?

Because maybe their father did pick them up.

You're here with me. I'm going to be right downstairs.

And I promise that no one's going to break us apart again.

We're going to see our mom again.

Mommy's dead.

You know that.

He means Lauren.

Lauren?

Oh, I don't know.

Now you get some sleep.

Right on, Dad.

Not bad.

Good night.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

You want a drink or something?

Listen, Richard.

Have you thought this thing through?

I mean, kidnapping your own kids? It's not like you.

How do you know what I'm like?

I don't even know.

I know you're losing it. Look at yourself.

You could end up back in jail.

Never got out of jail.

Well, I'm not sure we want to be accessories to this.

Look, Frank, these are Angela's grandchildren.

Now, do you want to help them or not?

It's just for a couple of nights.

All right, but I still don't get it. Why here?

Everybody knows we're not exactly bosom buddies.

Exactly. This is the last place anybody will look. Besides, I sure as hell can't

take him to Falcon Crescent. Have you been over there lately? Like a high wire

act. No net.

Of course we'll help you, Richard.

Now, just a minute. You and the boys can stay as long as you want.

You're okay now.

A toast.

Welcome to our house.

Do you think we got enough booze for the party?

Oh, yeah, we got plenty of booze.

We just don't have enough money to pay the workers, the truckers, or the

pickers.

Emma.

Emma.

You're a reasonable person.

And this party is a disaster just waiting to happen.

With all the problems Falcon Crest is having, especially financial.

It doesn't look good to the people we do business with to be celebrating

abundance.

Marcus isn't the god of abundance. Marcus is the god of the grape. And if

not mistaken, we're running a wine business. I can't handle it.

Emma, there's more strangers in this house than family.

I can't believe you're letting this happen to us. Sit down, cowboy.

Save your energy for your perky wife.

What did you say?

Go!

You're out of shape, little brother.

Vanna. Michael, we have to be there in a half hour.

Be where?

Be where? The fundraiser, Michael.

The Meridian Children's Shelter. We're on the plan to visit forever.

Why don't you turn that down?

Listen, I can't negotiate a fundraiser right now. I got too many things

happening. There's nothing happening. You're lifting weights. You're shut

Oh, come on, honey. It'll be fun.

We can relax. Be with friends. I don't have time for friends.

Look, all these people wanted was a check. I sent a check.

Now they want to punish me by having me sit through four hours of Joe Fabit and

his orchestra?

Any chance you'd want to spend some time with your wife?

What do you call this?

Honey.

You've got to realize what I'm going through here.

It's like they cut out all my blood vessels. I've got nothing inside me.

You were shut down for 30 days.

Let me think of it as a vacation.

Okay, it's a vacation.

Listen, why don't you run along and function and I'll meet you back at home.

I want us to get to know each other again.

We're not connected.

That sounds good. We'll connect later tonight. Say 11.

Have some toast, boys.

What did I do to deserve three handsome men at my breakfast table?

This is like a dream come true for me.

Playing mom.

You know, afterwards, I think I'm going to bake you guys some cookies.

Now, what do you like?

Oatmeal or chocolate chip?

Well, maybe I'll make both.

How about you, Richard?

Can I make you anything?

I like chocolate chip. Mm, me too.

I must smell something burning.

Oh, damn.

Oh, I can't believe it.

Oh, damn.

Forgive her this time, okay?

Ah.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah, fine.

You think you could, uh, keep an eye on the boys while I run over to the house

and pick up a few things for them?

Can I come with you, Dad?

I don't think that's a good idea right now, Tiger. Oh, no, I'd be happy to

You sure?

Oh, yeah, no problem.

We're gonna have a good time, aren't we, Kathy?

Oh, my God.

What a mess.

No harm, no foul.

Yeah.

Right, right. No, no harm done.

Who's winning?

Where you been?

I've been calling and calling. You haven't showed up in the office for two

Look, Jace, something's come up.

I need you to cover for me for a few days.

Dickie, sweetheart, are you going weird on me?

We've got two mergers and an acquisition going. I need you. Jason, I got my boys

back.

Well, that's terrific.

Don't tell me you snatched them. No, I didn't snatch them, damn it.

Sharp snatched them. I rescued them. Oh, wait a minute.

That's not... That's against the law.

Yeah, I know.

I'll cover for you. Do what you have to do.

Thanks, Jase.

Yeah, this is Channing. Is my lawyer in yet?

I know I called you 20 minutes ago. Where the hell is he?

Look, I don't... Yeah, sure.

What do you want?

I know you have the children. They are my children!

Why in the hell didn't you tell me you were Sharp's sister?

I wanted to... You've been working together all along. No, that's not true.

Don't tell me it's not true.

I tried to see you yesterday to tell you that I was Michael's sister. He did

this on his own.

In Michael's mind, it all made sense. He could hurt you where you were most

vulnerable. And he could fill a void in my life by giving me two wonderful

children. Well, isn't he terrific? I am so touched. I can't tell you how touched

I am. Fine, fine. All right, these are theirs.

All right, this is a book that I bought that seems to be helping Michael with

his math. We do about a half an hour each evening.

Kevin's gotten attached to this. I made it. His name is Bob Dog. And most

importantly, this is ampicillin. Kevin had an earache.

Three times a day, two more days.

Is it serious?

No, he'll be fine.

The boys are afraid of swimming because...

You might want to register them for a water confidence class.

I am sorry, Richard, if I contributed to your pain.

It was never my intention.

I thought I was creating a loving environment for two frightened little

who... who very much needed it.

Charlie. This cold fish act is getting a bit old, isn't it?

You still bugged about my wrestling match with Lance?

No, I'm bugged because you fired Lance.

The one thing your mother would have wanted is for Falcon Quest to be strong.

The reason she gave it to you and not to Lance is because she trusted you and

the decisions you make.

One of which was me.

Now, are you going to back your decisions or not?

Are you going to believe in me?

Good morning.

Do you sleep well?

Quite.

It's very comfortable here.

Yeah.

I've been thinking.

This is a family business, and in deference to your wife... Good morning,

We should keep Lance on in some capacity.

Oh, that's fine with me.

I'll ask the wife.

What do you think, Emma, love?

What?

About Lance.

Oh.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Would you excuse us for a minute, Emma?

Charlie and I have some business matters to discuss.

Here.

Charlie, do me a favor.

Don't muck this up.

Are

you

all right?

Fine.

Sidney.

Ian and Charlie.

Very close, aren't they?

Sure, they're brothers.

Sidney?

Will you talk to me?

Can you talk to me? About what?

How old are you?

Eighteen.

You know, no one can hear us.

Why won't you talk to me? I am talking to you.

Well... Why?

Why don't we do something together sometime, you know?

We could go shopping or maybe to lunch.

I want to be your friend.

Look, Emma, you're a nice person. Sydney, why don't you come up here with

What the hell are you doing, cowboy?

You didn't take me seriously, did you? You took me seriously.

I was a jerk.

Come on, man, you can't pack up now.

Watch me.

Look, we need you.

Falcon Crest needs you.

Well, you're man enough to accept an apology, aren't you? I didn't hear one.

I told you he was a tough customer.

I'm sorry you beat me with an inch of my lifeline.

I'm just joking. No, seriously.

From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry for my inexcusable behaviour last

night. I keep getting a rush of self -loathing, humiliation, embarrassment

time I relive the scene. Give me mental absolution, Lance.

Tell me you forgive me.

You're forgiven.

Great!

Where are you going? You're rehired. You're my number two man.

Your number two man just resigned.

Hello. Dickie?

Yeah, Jase?

This feels more complicated than we thought.

The lawyers want a meeting.

Looks like we're going to be in Los Angeles most of next week to jump

hoops for the shareholders.

Oh, what do they want to do, meet tonight?

Yeah.

Ten o 'clock in the conference room.

It shouldn't take more than a couple hours.

Are you sure I can't wait till morning? I'm here alone with the boys.

We'll drop them off here with Sarah.

They want to close in the morning.

Dick, I hand it myself, but I don't know the numbers like you do.

I wouldn't ask, but I need you.

All right.

I'll be there.

Why the hell did you give Richard Channing his kids back?

I thought you had this void in your life that needed filling.

A lot of people went to a lot of trouble to get those kids for you. What do you

do?

You hand them back to this dragon on a silver platter because that's what

Channing is, you know. He's a monster.

Get the hell out of our house, Michael.

Great, now I gotta deal with Mr. Green Jeans. Just take a hike, sweetheart. I'm

talking to my sister.

You're talking to my wife. Oh, help, help. Please don't hurt me. Please,

please. No, don't make it worse than it is. Please.

Listen to me. You get $3 an hour handyman. Stop it, Michael. This jacket

more than you make in a year.

Stop it.

Leave me alone.

Please, Michael.

I know you meant well.

I know in that mind of yours you thought you were doing me good by bringing me

those two boys.

But all you've done is bring me more pain.

That doesn't faze you, does it?

All you think about is yourself.

Not the boys.

Not me.

Not anyone.

Have you ever run a vineyard before, Mr. St.

James? Actually run a vineyard?

No.

No, I usually don't deal in ventures this small.

I'm just here as a favor to my brother Charlie.

Charlie. Keep hearing about Charlie. When are we going to meet this Charlie?

Soon.

Are we going to be dealing with you or your brother?

Well, we're one and the same.

Would you excuse me, gentlemen?

Come on.

Give us a smile.

I don't know anybody here.

I feel sick.

I'm going inside.

You don't feel sick?

You're not going inside.

You're going to stay here with me.

Yes, Ian.

That's my little girl.

I'm not going down there.

I can't let them defeat us without a fight.

I'm not... I'm not giving up.

I just don't want to party with those idiots.

I've got to figure some things out, honey.

Lance?

Have you heard the old adage?

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

Emma.

Oh, Frank, hi.

Congratulations, darling.

Thank you. This is my nephew, Chris. He's going to stay with his dear old

for the summer.

Hi. I'm Chris.

We've heard.

I'm Ian.

And this is my wife, Sydney.

Chris.

And wine countrymen.

Lend me your ears.

Bacchus!

Bacchus! God of the grape.

God of fruitfulness and vegetation.

Wine and ecstasy.

Promoter of civilization and lover of peace.

Neighbors.

I stand here not merely for your amusement.

The spirit of Bacchus is here.

with us today in our vineyards.

So, I raise my glass to all of you, my fellow Romans, in the hope

that through our unity, Bacchus blesses us with our most fruitful season ever.

Emma, can we talk for a second?

Excuse me.

My dear, your husband just made a very eloquent speech, but I don't have any

idea what it was about.

What's going on here?

Well, we're having a party. I can see that.

You know how I feel about you.

But I don't think your fella has a clue as to what it takes to run a business.

This whole thing, I'm afraid, is getting out of control.

Hello. Can I see you at the funeral?

Having a good time? Do you want a drink? No, thanks. Mr. St. James, I don't know

how thoroughly you've perused your books, but Falcon Crest owes my firm $20

million.

No kidding.

Well, I like those kind of numbers. Now you're talking Caesar's language.

Caesar's language. Ex nihilo nihil fit.

Out of nothing comes nothing.

Pilar, where is Lance? He's in the house.

He's not thrilled, Emma.

I

can't

deal with this right now. Please, please come down. This low -life charmer

waltzes into your life and you're giving everything away.

Emma, five generations of a family business.

I'm glad Grandma's not here to see it.

You're wrong.

You're wrong about Charlie. I'm not wrong.

I don't know whether you're crazy, blind, or just stupid.

These guys are evil.

Go.

Go. Go.

Go. Go.

Go.

here. Things are really getting out of hand.

Well, the old barter blokes, they make some noise.

Give us a kiss.

You weren't expecting all this, were you?

No.

This is Charlie.

Ah, gentlemen.

You have any good time?

Ridiculous. Talk to you later.

You see, my boys?

Oh, no.

Oh, oh, oh, there.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

I am glad my mother is not here to see this.

They told the man I want my money.

People in hell want ice water.

Fine. Any way you want to play it, pal, we're not moving our trucks till we get

paid.

Ever play rugby?

This

is

our family.

This is our land.

You guys have been working for Fountaincrest for 12 years now. I've

shortchanged you.

Okay? I'm not going to start now.

You all come to my office right now. I'll pay you what I owe you plus a

Okay? Come on. It's over.

Let's go.

It's all over. Come on.

Come on, Ed. I'll fight you.

Will you quit or something?

You both like Lauren very much, don't you? She spends a lot of time with us.

You know, boys, you two

mean everything in the world to me.

You know that.

I love you both very much.

But even though we're together, well...

Daddy's made some mistakes.

I love you, Dad.

Oh, I love you.

Lauren, listen to me. It was never supposed to turn out this way. I never

for you to get hurt.

I just want you to be happy, and I want to give you that happiness.

So it won't be the Channing kids. It'll be some other kids.

Better kids.

Girls, maybe.

I'm going to do it all for you.

Michael, stay out of our lives. I don't need you to make me happy. It's an

impossibility. You don't have a clue who I am.

Kids don't replace kids don't replace kids.

Children aren't units that you can move around like commodities on the market.

It's insane that I even have to point that out to you.

I don't even know why I'm trying. If I sat here for a hundred years, you

wouldn't get it.

I get it a lot more than you think I get it.

You and Walker don't exactly possess the secrets of the universe, you know. I

mean, look at how you live.

Yes, look at how we live.

Our house is filled with emotions, pieces of our lives.

And yours?

Expensive furniture.

Objects.

Michael.

You don't value what makes me happy.

You despise it.

I don't despise it. I just...

Think you can do better.

Michael, don't you dare look down on us. Don't you dare.

Wait a minute.

Come in.

Is everything okay? Yes.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

Kidnapping your own kids is pretty desperate, Channing.

If it's okay, I would like Michael and Kevin to stay with you for a while.

They're very fond of you.

And I think it's the best arrangement for now.

When I get them back, it will be because the court has given its approval.

That's okay with me.

I'd love to have them here.

But Richard, make sure this is something you really want because we all need to

get on with our lives.

I know.

I'll be seeing the boys just about every day.

That's fine with me.

Commodities on the market.

I never thought I'd be thanking you, Michael, but you're responsible for

and I'll always be grateful.

Sending the boys to Lauren is the best thing you could have ever done for me.

What have I done?

What am I going to do?

Everything is spinning out of control.

I failed you. You trusted me, and I failed you. I failed you miserably. What

I going to do? What am I going to do?

Thank you so much, Mother.

Emma, you're in danger.

He's the one who put me here.

Charlie, stop him.

I will. I will find a way. You promise that you won't let me down?

Mother, I'll get the doctor. I'll be right back.

Nurse! She was awake!

She was talking to you.

There's no register here of any recent brain activity.

Is that true?

She spoke to me.

I'm sorry.

She's not conscious. And there's no indication that she was.

But... It's very easy to become overwrought seeing someone you love like

I'm not overwrought. If you like, we can go back to my office and talk.

Maybe I can give you something to help calm you down.

Oh, no.

That's all right. You know, I'll be fine.

I guess I just wished so hard for it that I actually saw it.

I'll be fine, really.

You know, maybe I just need a couple more...

Made it alone with her.

I won't let you down, Mama.

Next on Falcon Crest.

You're not to talk to Emma anymore.

Who is he? What is going on?

It's just a matter of time before the family gangs up on us. Please let me

explain. Explain!

Please let me explain. Please, it's not what you think it is. You need a change

of pace.

Let's liven things up a little. I want the time.

The moment.

Right down to the millisecond when his spirit leaves this planet.

You got that?
