Original subtitles

-Ed McKay is dead. -What?

Some maniac walked into his office and shot him.

I found out that Chase is running...

...for the board of supervisors, Ed McKay's seat.

You're a part of Falcon Crest too.

Only when it's convenient for you. I don't need your money.

You can't win this election without my help.

This is the true story of Chase Gioberti and his family.

This is hardly your style.

Chase is a threat to the community.

-Who is this? -Oh, you know me.

I helped to unseat your supervisor.

You're a dead woman, Angela Channing.

Eberhardt, what are you doing here?

Freeze.

-Is the pinot noir ready? -Yes, it is.

-Let's go with that. -We'll start bottling tomorrow.

Fine.

-Ed McKay is dead. -What?

Some maniac walked into his office an hour ago and shot him.

Oh, my God.

They said something about...

...the board of supervisors ruining him.

-Cutting off his water. -Phil Eberhardt?

Yeah, that's his name. Where do I know it from?

He bought that vineyard at the top of Skyler Road.

It's a shame the county couldn't help him...

...get the water to get it started.

Didn't you make a bid on that property at one time, Mother?

I'm gonna miss Ed McKay.

I bet you are.

You had McKay, Costello and Williams in your back pocket.

With Ed McKay gone...

...the board of supervisors is split right down the middle.

May I help you?

Yes, could I see that strand of pearls?

Surely.

They would make a lovely present for Mother's birthday...

...don't you think?

Yes, they would.

Unfortunately, Mother's birthday was three months ago.

Oh, I see you have some antique things.

Sylvia, may I speak to you for a moment, please?

Excuse me.

Mrs. Morton's on the phone. She'd like to pick up her watch.

But I can't find it.

It just came in from the engraver's this morning.

Can I show you something else?

I would really like to see that emerald piece.

Julia, let's go.

Why?

Let's go, please. I'm not feeling very well.

We'll be back another day.

Certainly.

Emma, watch the light.

Ma'am.

-Who are you? -Store detective.

Now, there must be some mistake.

Where is it?

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you...

...to step into Mr. Carmack's office.

I'm sorry.

-Come on. -Please.

Now, don't worry, everything will be all right.

That was a very nice eulogy, John.

Oh, thank you.

If your campaign speeches are half as good...

...you won't need help from me.

Before we worry about my reelection...

...we better figure out who's going to replace Ed McKay.

I think Peter Burns should run.

Ed's assistant? Totally unseasoned.

Why don't you stop by the house later?

I'd like to talk to you about it.

-Five o'clock? -That will be fine.

Okay.

Why would you want Peter Burns on the board of supervisors...

...if he's an amateur?

So I can turn him into a professional.

Emma, dear, you go on upstairs...

...take a hot bath and try to relax.

Yes, that sounds nice.

Phillip Erikson called and told me what happened.

I had to call him. I didn't know what else to do.

He is your attorney.

I don't know anything about making bail or getting bail.

Oh, why did you let this happen in the first place?

I didn't just let it happen.

I offered to pay for the bracelet. They wouldn't take it.

Did you tell that you're my daughter?

They weren't impressed, Mother.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I didn't mean to do it. It just happened.

Why do you have to embarrass the family like this, Emma?

Oh, Mother, you didn't have to say that.

"Oh, Mother, I think you should let her go out more often."

Now, those are your exact words. Well, she's out.

She'll be sitting in court.

Chase.

You sounded anxious on the phone.

Well, I thought we might have a little more privacy out here.

Privacy? What's on your mind?

Peter Burns, Ed McKay's hatchet man...

...filed for candidacy today.

He's after McKay's seat on the board.

He didn't waste any time.

If he wins, we're all gonna keep paying through the nose...

...for Falcon Crest's water.

I don't understand how the county...

...let Angela get control in the first place.

Well, I'll tell you how.

She stacked the board with guys like McKay.

She got them to condemn all the property in the county...

...that could be developed as reservoirs.

She bought it up.

She built earth dams and she filled it with water...

...that would've gone as runoff to everyone in the valley.

That water doesn't belong to her.

It belongs to everyone.

Why hasn't anyone put a stop to this?

Well, that's exactly what Phil Eberhardt was trying to do.

I've been taking flak over this issue ever since I was elected.

Now, with McKay gone, it can only get worse.

Don't tell me you're gonna throw in the towel...

...because of pressure.

A little? Look what happened to McKay.

Now, Ed, Johnson and myself, we've always backed you on this.

I mean, any one of us could've taken that bullet.

Public life is risky enough.

I just don't know if our relationship...

...is worth it any longer.

Well, while you're pondering, what about Peter Burns?

I can think of other men who would do a better job.

Perhaps but I want someone I can depend upon.

Get him up here tonight.

Angela.

But can't the board do anything?

Say, form up a public utility.

And force her to sell the reservoirs.

Max Hartman and I have been trying to do that...

...since we got elected to the board.

But McKay, Johnson and Costello...

...always voted exactly the way Angela told them to.

Every single time.

-We never had a chance. -Thanks.

Okay. McKay's gone now.

Right.

So all we've got to do is get you on the board...

-...and we've got it made. -Oh, you're crazy.

Chase, you're the perfect candidate.

What makes you think I'd even be interested?

Because you're the best hope we've got.

Look, I've got a vineyard to run.

-I'm just getting that place... -Chase, face facts, will you?

Right now, Angela controls the water in this valley.

And she could destroy us all.

Mrs. Channing. I understand you wanted to see me.

Yes.

Mr. Costello has convinced me to support you...

...for the board of supervisors.

Congratulations, Mr. Burns.

Thank you, Mrs. Channing.

Chase?

Hi.

-Hi. -What time is it?

A little after midnight. Go back to sleep.

I expected you home hours ago.

I'm running for the board of supervisors, Maggie.

You're what?

Carl Reed is putting together a committee.

They're gonna start collecting signatures.

I could be a formal candidate by Wednesday.

I think you might at least have talked to me about it first.

Yeah, I wanted to but they needed an answer tonight.

I see.

Maggie, this board of supervisors could be central...

...to determining the future of this valley.

Ed McKay was murdered. Doesn't that mean anything to you?

That's not gonna happen to me.

Can I count on you to back me up in this?

Well, you don't give me much choice, do you?

Dave Mehlman donated the storefront...

...next to his store as the campaign headquarters.

I've got volunteers now setting things up.

-Volunteers already? -That's right.

You get there as soon as you can.

We've got a lotta work...

...if we're gonna win Ed McKay's seat on that board.

-I'll be there by noon. -Good.

Thanks, Carl.

Well, looks like you've got yourself a campaign manager.

-Yeah, Carl's quite motivated. -Good.

You do realize this is gonna take...

...a lot of time away from the vineyard.

Chase.

I got a call from Douglas Channing.

I don't suppose he wants you to take your old job back.

Not exactly.

He does want me to write an article for the Globe, though...

...on the man who murdered Ed McKay.

How long will I have to spend in prison?

Phillip is working on that.

You won't have to go to prison, so stop worrying about it.

Here.

Good morning, everybody.

-Good morning. -Good morning. You're up early.

I found out Chase is running for the board of supervisors...

...Ed McKay's seat.

Well, that should make for an interesting campaign.

Fascinating.

I'm wondering how that will affect your supporting Peter.

The way to be on the winning side is to be on both sides.

I think Chase would appreciate our support, don't you?

I wonder how long it's been...

...since we've had a county supervisor with a beard.

You've been accused of shooting Supervisor Ed McKay.

How are you planning to plead?

I'm guilty.

What reservoir were you getting your water from?

Skyler Creek, that's one of Angela Channing's dams.

Did you ever speak to Mrs. Channing?

Sure I did.

But she told me that they needed the water for Falcon Crest.

Of course she was lying.

She's never drawn off any of that water.

She wanted my land.

If you blame Mrs. Channing, why did you go after Ed McKay?

Because I believed in the system.

Elected public officials are supposed to protect you...

...from people like Angela Channing.

About a year and a half ago...

...I was a dairy farmer in Northern Michigan.

But the winters were too hard on my wife.

So we yanked the kids out of school...

...packed everything up and came out here.

I worked for a while in the city but that...

It just wasn't right. I missed being on a farm too much.

And then we found this little vineyard.

I put every dime I had into it, hoping to make a go of it.

And then Mrs. Channing came along...

...and decides to turn off the water.

That's when I went to Ed McKay and asked what he could do.

And he said, he could help.

But he never so much as brought the matter up...

...before the board of supervisors for a vote.

In the meantime...

...my vineyard died.

CHASE: Well, thank you very much for

Sure, I will.

All right. Bye-bye.

Well, we finally got the first batch of posters.

We could've had one of the kids pick these up.

We're short-handed around here enough as it is.

You should see the setup the competition has...

...at Burns' headquarters.

I know. I drove by there last night.

Somebody is sure bankrolling him.

I think we both know who it is.

Yeah.

What we lack in financial support we have in energy.

They're fired up enough here...

...to get President Harding re-elected.

I'll tell you the truth, we need more than youthful enthusiasm.

-We also need money. -Yeah.

Speaking of money.

-Angela. -Chase.

Carl.

Well, you have a very nice little operation going here.

Well, thanks. We're doing our best.

Chase, could I speak to you privately for a moment?

-Why, sure. Excuse us, Carl. -Okay.

-Let's go back here. -Angela.

I'll get started on the posters.

Thanks, Carl.

Here are the voting records.

Your courage, Chase...

...your father would be very proud of you. As we all are.

And to show you how eager I am for you to win this election...

...I'm contributing $10,000 to your campaign.

Well, I am flattered, Angela.

But I thought Peter Burns was your man.

Oh, I know a winner when I see one.

And you look like a winner.

You're also intelligent enough to know...

...how to handle the water-rights problems.

Well, it's gonna require a lot of study.

I wanna get input from everyone.

Now, spare me the campaign rhetoric.

You know, you're a part of Falcon Crest too.

Only when it's convenient for you.

I don't think I'll need your money.

You really don't know me well, do you?

Enough to know that you can't win...

...this election without my help.

Over half the people in the valley depend upon Falcon Crest.

What are you gonna do?

Threaten to cut their water off if they vote for me?

My grandfather built most of the reservoirs in this valley.

No board of supervisors is gonna take it away...

...so don't start acting like a radical.

I'm not a radical.

I just wanna do what's right for this valley.

You're such a dreamer.

What about your wife?

She took the kids back...

...to her mother's in Houston.

Last time I heard from her, she'd found another man.

-She wants a divorce now. -Is that why you shot Ed McKay?

I shot Ed McKay because he ruined my life.

Him and the rest of those puppets on that board.

And I'll tell you something else.

If I rot in jail for the rest of my life...

...I'm not gonna regret for one minute what I did.

-Time's up. -You write that.

I'm not sorry the man is dead.

I lost my wife, my kids, my land...

...I lost everything I had because of him.

Him and Angela Channing.

Please, you write that, okay?

Hi, I'm Chase Gioberti, your next county supervisor.

I'm Chase Gioberti, the next county supervisor...

...if you can take a look at this.

I'm Chase Gioberti, the next county supervisor.

Take a look at the issues here, and hopefully vote for me.

Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm Chase Gioberti, your next county supervisor.

I'd appreciate if you'd take a look at this, okay?

Going to the polls, aren't you? Hi, I'm Chase Giober...

I'm Chase Gioberti, your next county supervisor.

Take one of these, will you?

I was just over at campaign headquarters.

Cole said you were out hustling the voters.

Oh, yeah.

-How's it going? -All right.

Good.

How did your interview go?

It was really good.

And I know why you're doing this.

I mean, I know why you have to do it.

Oh, God.

All right.

I'm Chase Gioberti, your next county supervisor.

You're a registered voter, I can tell.

take a look at the issues.

Thank you.

If I'm gonna be of any use in this campaign...

...I can't be running to San Francisco...

...to cover Emma's tracks.

I want those shoplifting charges dropped.

Why can't our attorneys take care of it?

I talked to Phillip and his office says...

...they've done everything.

Now, I want you to talk to Carmack, personally.

Okay, okay.

This way, please.

Mrs. Channing, Mr. Flescher is here to see you.

-Oh, thank you. Send him in. -Mr. Flescher.

Ted. So nice to see you. Please sit down.

It's my pleasure, Mrs. Channing.

It's been a long time since I've been here.

Well, it isn't because you're not welcome, you know that.

But as editor in chief of the Tuscany Valley Times...

-...it does take its toll. -I suppose it does.

I've been reading some of the stories...

...about this election that's coming up.

They're very insightful, I must say.

Well, thank you.

It helps to have a close race to write about.

Sells papers too.

That's exactly why I invited you up here tonight.

I have something that I think will stimulate circulation.

This is the true story of Chase Gioberti and his family.

-The true story? -Yes.

Hey, Dad, how's the next county supervisor?

I've got such a pain in the face.

I don't think I've smiled so much...

...since I met your mother's parents.

That's funny. I don't remember you smiling.

Just wait till you have to start kissing babies.

Hello? Oh, Carl, hi.

This is the first time I've had him to myself in a week.

Can I take a message?

Oh, good Lord.

Oh, no.

No, I should have seen that coming. I...

Yeah.

Yeah, all right. I will. Thanks, Carl.

Phil Eberhardt's in the psychiatric ward.

He tried to commit suicide.

I'm afraid we have to adhere...

...to our policy of prosecuting all shoplifters.

I assume you don't realize who Angela Channing is, then.

Enlighten me.

She owns one of the largest wineries in this country.

If the Queen of England had taken that bracelet...

...I'd have to do the same thing.

I see, well, I better be getting back to the valley, then.

My grandmother insists on hearing bad news immediately.

Good day.

Thanks for your support. Nice meeting you.

-Here. -Vickie, what is this?

It's Darlene Phillips' little boy.

What...? Vickie.

-Kiss him. -Kiss the baby.

-Go. Kiss him. -That's so funny.

-Politics I haven't counted on. -Kiss.

But I guess it goes with it, doesn't it?

Now, how about some lunch?

Nurse Halway, would you please report to Dr. Soames' office.

Nurse Halway.

-I'll take it in, Estelle. -Thanks, Bill.

Dr. Mondolio, report to Intensive Care.

Dr. Mondolio, report to Intensive Care.

He simply will not deviate from his policy...

...of prosecuting shoplifters.

-Did you tell him who I am? -Yes, I did.

I suggested that you might become a customer of his...

...if he were to relax his policy this once.

I wouldn't step foot in that tacky little shop.

And I can't imagine what possessed...

...Julia to take Emma there.

Well, I think he knew that.

Emma's going to appear in court.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Well, maybe there is something I can do.

Actually, there is, on another matter.

I want you to talk to Paul Espinoza.

It seems that most of our workers...

...are supporting Chase in this campaign.

How far can I go?

Well, just tell Paul that even foremen are replaceable.

And by the way, I got a call. Eberhardt has escaped.

Do you think he'll come looking for you?

Well, let's just say that I'll rest easier...

...if I know he's tucked away safely.

But my opponent...

...never sees fit to mention his inexperience...

...naivet ...

...and total unfamiliarity with the problems of this valley.

Let's address ourselves to the issues...

...not this personal invective, right?

I think the voters should know what kind of man you are.

And we all have the water we want when we need it.

Yet Mr. Gioberti seems to think...

...that we should disrupt the system...

...that has been in operation...

...for over four decades in this valley.

CHASE: Oh, that's right, I do.

I believe that we, the people of this county...

...have the right to control our own water resources.

Why, for example, is the price of water in this county...

...higher...

...than in any other county in the state?

Why do some vineyards flourish...

...with plenty of water...

...while others are practically begging?

And from whom are they really begging?

These are just some of the questions...

...I'd like to have answered.

And I intend to find those answers.

Oh, you were great.

-Terrific. -Really good.

-Thank you. -Wonderful. You are a natural.

Well, let's not get overconfident, Carl.

-No, I mean it, I mean it. -Thanks.

You haven't heard anything about Eberhardt yet?

No, not a word. He's probably on his way to Mexico by now.

Yeah, I'm sure he is.

-Oh, Mr. Gioberti. -Elliot.

-Nice to see you. -Good to see you.

-Excuse me. -Sure.

I'm Elliot McKay.

-Ed's father. -Sir, it's a pleasure.

You have the same spit and fire my son had...

...when he ran for that same seat 11 years ago.

I'm sorry about your son, Mr. McKay.

So am I. More for how he lived than how he died.

When I discovered that he had accepted...

...a series of gifts from Angela Channing...

...in exchange for his political integrity...

...I never spoke to him again.

But still, his death must have been very hard on you.

As your father's was on you.

I'm an old man with an awful lot of money...

...and no place to spend it. I wanna support your campaign.

Well, I can use all the votes I can get.

How would $100,000 campaign contribution suit you?

Well...

...we could certainly use it, Mr. McKay.

But there are usually strings attached to that kind of money.

I only ask one thing, Chase.

Live up to your campaign promises.

Make this county proud of its board of supervisors.

Thank you, sir. I'll try to do that.

you see, Paul, my grandmother doesn't like the way...

...some of our employees are spending their extra time.

She may have a lot of folks on her payroll...

...but it doesn't mean she owns them.

What about that guy?

Martinez.

He's on the bottling crew, late shift.

Well, you can fire him tonight.

And those two women. I think I recognize the one on the left.

Yeah, Mrs. Welch, a shipping clerk.

Well, I think we can lay her off too.

You get the point?

We'll check this out...

...and see how many of our employees...

...are still working for Chase Gioberti.

Angela, I'm afraid we have a problem.

Elliot McKay is giving Chase...

...a $100,000 campaign contribution.

That doesn't surprise me.

Elliot never did know how to manage money.

Thank you.

Well, it gives Chase a bit of an edge, wouldn't you say?

Not really.

The edge Chase has will be long gone by tomorrow afternoon.

But $100,000...

...do you have any idea how much radio time that'll buy?

Well, I've spent that and more, John.

A million dollars isn't gonna help Chase Gioberti now.

Okay, Chase, I want you to close your eyes...

...and just imagine this, all right?

Okay.

The sound of hoof beats...

...over strains of the "William Tell Overture."

Now, the rider dismounts and it's Chase Gioberti.

Oh, Carl.

-That is terrible. Terrible. -What do you mean? Oh, come on.

Worked for Pinewood Savings and Loan. It's gonna work for us.

What about the issues?

People do not wanna hear issues on a 20-second radio spot.

Chase, it's media hype, that's all.

It's a part of the campaign process.

Good morning, Mr. McKay.

Have you read the afternoon papers yet, Chase?

No. Why? Is something wrong?

You're damn right there is.

What is this?

And I thought you were an honest man.

Mr. McKay, I don't know exactly what's in this article...

...but this looks like a cheap shot to me.

It reads like solid reporting to me.

And Ted Flescher is a respectable publisher.

Give us a chance to look at this before you jump to conclusions.

Now, there it is in black and white, Carl.

You'll see what a fool you've been.

-Now, wait a minute, Mr. McKay. -You've had it, Gioberti.

You are politically dead around here.

What does it say?

Well, listen to this.

"Chase Gioberti has found the life of...

...the gentleman farmer not all that gentle.

He has been denied bank loans...

...and has had difficulty marketing...

...what some sources say is an inferior crop."

Some sources.

"...stemming from his inexperience as a vineyardist.

Yet he professes to understand...

...the needs of an agricultural community...

...such as ours."

"Late last year, he apparently convinced Angela Channing...

...his aunt and the head of Falcon Crest...

...to buy his grape harvest at premium prices.

But he denies that Mrs. Channing will hold any sway...

...over his conduct as a county supervisor."

It sounds as if Chase has a little explaining to do.

I hate to see his reputation tarnished but I must say...

...it's a convincing article.

Falcon Crest.

Yeah. Please hold.

It's for you, Grandmother.

Thank you. Hello? Yes, this is Mrs. Channing.

Now, you know me. I helped to unseat your supervisor.

-Who is this? -You're a dead woman...

...Angela Channing. Is that clear enough?

A dead woman.

Well, that's not very reassuring, Turk.

Send a man up here right away.

Yes.

Tobias seems to think Eberhardt's in Bakersfield.

Bakersfield?

He's been seen in Los Angeles...

...he's been seen in Santa Rosa and Reno.

Now, either he's in three places at the same time...

...or they're spotting the wrong guy.

Well, that's what worries me.

Carl, did you see this?

Yes, yes, I did. It's a nice article.

Thank you. It's disappointing to have to...

...play second fiddle to the story...

The phone's been ringing all morning.

I think this article pretty well...

...evens the score with Flescher's paper.

I have a friend at the office.

He told me that Angela got a call...

...from a man who claimed to be Eberhardt.

He threatened to kill her.

Hope they're taking it seriously.

You bet they are.

They have a deputy over there in case he shows up.

Phil Eberhardt is angry enough...

...and disturbed enough to do something like that.

I'll tell you something else, Mrs. Channing...

...I don't appreciate your trying to pressure me.

I'm concerned about my daughter's emotional state.

She's in no condition to go to court.

I don't care what your daughter's problems are.

The young lady walked out of here...

...with an expensive piece of merchandise.

Which we offered to pay for.

I don't do business with shoplifters.

I understand that you made some costly improvements...

...in your store, say, about a year ago.

I'm a very busy man. Now, if you'll excuse me.

You financed those improvements...

...through the United Pacific Bank of San Francisco.

My financial affairs are no concern of yours.

I happen to be on the board of directors...

...of the corresponding bank in Tuscany Valley.

Now, it seems to me that we helped arrange that financing.

And after some care reevaluation...

...my grandmother has decided you're not a worthy credit risk.

-She's gonna call in your loan. -You're bluffing.

Oh, I wouldn't recommend you call me on it.

I'm not saying it can be done overnight, but it can be done.

What we need is a renewed unity of purpose in this valley.

We've let ourselves be divided for too long.

A vote for Chase Gioberti...

...is a vote for fuel subsidies that will lower gas prices...

...and bring more tourists than ever into the valley.

A vote for Chase Gioberti will remove...

...all the telephone poles in the valley...

...and improve our scenic vista.

Enough speechmaking for me.

Remember me when you go to the polls.

Vote your conscience and vote for the future of our valley.

Thank you.

Underground utilities, more taxes...

-Cole. -More county revenue.

-Cole. -More...

-Can I have a word with you? -Yeah.

Yeah.

You like that?

Well...

...listen.

You're here to hand out fliers, not to make campaign speeches.

I was just trying to stir it up a little bit.

You wanted to generate some enthusiasm here.

Yeah, enthusiasm for my ideas, not your idealism.

-So stick to the program, okay? -Yes, sir.

-Oh, come on. -Chase, take a look at that.

Hey, look at this.

So much for evening the score with Flescher.

"Chase Gioberti, candidate for the board of supervisors...

...was prompted to move his family to the Tuscany Valley...

...because of the arrest of his son, Cole...

...on assault charges in New York City."

Yesterday's article was bad enough.

Now they're picking on my family. Unbelievable.

Well, you better believe it.

That story is in every stand in the valley.

How did they find out about this?

I have a pretty good idea.

It's all right, deputy.

Well, Chase, what a surprise.

I wanna talk to you about this campaign.

Well, you know how I feel about it.

Until today, you were the only one...

...outside of my immediate family...

...who knew anything about Cole's arrest in New York.

It's splashed all over the front page of the paper.

You may think this is a small-town election...

...but nobody here is gonna give away anything without a fight.

It's like everything you've done since you've moved.

Your campaign is a misguided adventure.

CHASE: What's misguided about trying to do some good?

Now, don't shout, Chase.

Why did you bring my son into it?

And you know those charges against him were dropped.

Yet your little article in the paper...

...neglected to mention that particular fact.

Good night, Chase.

I want a car and I want it right now...

...because me and Mrs. Channing are going for a ride.

-Wait a minute. Listen to me. -I can take him.

Nobody is gonna get hurt.

I wouldn't put my money on that.

Because this has been a long time coming.

-Mother. -Who is that?

All right, just get back. Stay back.

Take it easy.

Stay where you are. Get rid of those two people. Right now.

Okay.

Please, Chao-Li.

Okay, now why don't you let her go?

This is not a joke.

I want that car.

Chase, give him what he wants.

Mr. Eberhardt knows we can't give him a car.

And we're not gonna let him take you with him.

-You better. -What would be the point?

You'd get out and get yourself shot by some cop.

I know how you must feel.

You don't know anything about how I feel.

Somebody's gonna pay for what happened to me and my family.

You're right, somebody will.

But why make that somebody yourself?

What'd be the point? You've made a point, now let her go.

Come on, Angie.

Mr. Eberhardt is not gonna hurt you.

The hell I won't.

Phil.

You're not crazy. I know that as well as you do.

You've just been treated with terrible unfairness.

But that's no reason to kill anyone.

I already killed Ed McKay.

You couldn't help that, could you?

No, I couldn't.

All right, well, this is different.

We're all here and we wanna help you if you'll let us.

-You can't. -Sure we can.

Now, come on, let her go. Come on, Angie. Come on.

Please.

Phil.

I'm kind of a newcomer here myself.

I know how tough it is...

...to get a vineyard going.

But things are gonna be better.

Trust me.

I promise you.

Maybe you and I could get together and talk about...

...things that need doing around here.

Phil...

...you're not a killer.

You're just angry.

Believe me...

...I know what that's like.

You're angry too?

Madder than hell.

Come on.

I'll ride into town with you.

One of the most intriguing campaigns...

...in the history of local politics...

...came to an end today...

...as Chase Gioberti swept to victory.

...the assassination of supervisor Ed McKay...

...gunned down in his office last month...

...by confessed killer, Phil Eberhardt.

Gioberti drew on his own personal popularity...

...in his strong stand on the issues...

...to defeat his opponent, Peter Burns, by a wide margin.

Today's election marks the end...

...of a well-oiled political machine...

...that has dominated Tuscany County...

...since the repeal of Prohibition.

The primary focus of the campaign...

...was the water-rights issue.

Gioberti maintained that...

...the regulations governing the distribution...

...of water in the county were antiquated and inefficient.

If Gioberti lives up to his campaign promises...
