Falcon Crest (1981) s01e11 Episode Script

Chase, listen
"Elizabeth Bradbury, age 18
"was struck down and run over
by a car yesterday afternoon.
The driver of the car did not
stop. There were no witnesses."
- That was long ago.
- Did my father love her?
"What happened to Elizabeth
Bradbury, Angie?
Where's Elizabeth now?"
Tell me, why do you visit
Elizabeth Bradbury every week?
Well, she's an obligation
from the past.
Are you afraid he might be
responsible?
Aren't you?
I've done a little exploration.
Found this, "Damn Angie and her
deadly blue convertible."
Well, that was exhilarating.
You must feel better.
Not really.
You have to learn
to accept this duty gracefully.
Because I expect you
to carry on with it after I die.
That is, if I ever
decide to die.
Just how will you know
what I do after you're gone?
I'll know.
- Hello, Elizabeth.
- Angela.
It's such
a delightful day,
I thought we'd have
tea out here.
What a nice idea.
Jean, dear, would you go
in and get
the cake and toast
for me, please?
- Shall we sit here?
- Yeah.
It's so nice to see you.
- A little more up.
- Thank you.
- You're looking well, darling.
- It's wonderful to see you.
You know,
I have a surprise for you too.
This is Lance, my grandson.
- Good afternoon, Miss Bradbury.
- Lance.
According to this,
this room was 9 feet longer.
We built a wall
right along here,
with a door someplace
about there.
And your father had a new room.
He said he needed a place to
himself.
I know the feeling.
He had a whole house
full of rooms.
Well, he did a lot of things
I never understood.
But this room was special
for him.
Nobody else ever went in there.
He'd spend hours
on end in there,
reading, writing sometimes.
That's funny. We never found
any evidence of his writing.
Well, one day
he stopped writing.
From then on, he sat
in there alone and drank.
Sometimes he cried.
God, what a waste.
Well, then the time came
when he said to me
"Gus, wall the door shut."
And I did.
I'm sorry, honey.
Are we bothering you?
Oh, no. I'm not getting
anywhere anyway.
Gus, where would this door have
been on this wall here?
Well..
Maybe here.
I left some open framing in case
he ever wanted to reopen it.
There.
Honey, look at this.
On the other side of this wall,
there's a room.
If we tear out the wall,
it will almost double
the size of the bedroom.
Uh- huh, how big a job is it?
Well, mostly noise
and a lot of dust.
It's all stone and mortar.
Once in a while, I see a
fleeting Gioberti look
about Lance, Angela.
Makes me think of Jason.
Yes, I noticed that too.
But I've always
thought of him as a Gioberti.
You knew Uncle Jason, then?
Many years ago.
Lance, you forgot to remind me
that I have an appointment.
Oh, you know,
you're absolutely right.
Miss Bradbury,
it was a pleasure.
I wouldn't have a life
at all if it weren't
for Angela's kindness
and generosity.
Oh, Elizabeth.
How very proud
you must be of her.
Well, we're proud of each other.
Now, I'll see you next week.
- I'll look forward to it.
- Marvelous.
And thank you so much
for the tea.
- Goodbye now.
- Goodbye, Elizabeth.
Where are you going?
It's my turn.
Gus, why did he go
to so much trouble?
He was unhappy.
You don't make a room and then
cover it up because
you're unhappy.
Well, they can say he was crazy,
but I know better.
He was just lonely.
Lonely? How could he be lonely?
He must've known
everybody in the valley.
Well, that's true.
He knew everyone.
But here in this house,
he had no one.
Too bad I wasn't here for him.
Darling, you had no choice.
Your mother took you away.
I grew up. I knew the way back.
When your father
sealed off this room
he sealed off his life
the same way.
Did you enjoy your ride?
Are you planning on entering
the Indy 500?
Why not? I enjoy a challenge.
Are those the pictures
back from Rome?
No, these were taken here.
Well, your photography's
improving.
Carlo Agretti's vineyards are
one of the finest in the valley.
Almost as good as ours.
They belong together.
So you've always said.
- Carlo Agretti is a widower?
- Mm-hmm.
Why don't you ask him
to marry you?
Like I always said..
the joining of young vines
is a far better investment.
Grandmother,
I don't even know his daughter.
Melissa Agretti
is Carlo's only child.
And she's a lovely girl.
Now, sit down.
You just think of this
as one step to a merger, right?
Still, a lovely girl,
and his only heir.
Tell me something.
Why do you visit Elizabeth
Bradbury every week?
I enjoy her. Didn't you?
Well, yeah, sure.
But you called her a duty.
Well, she's an obligation from
the past, started by my father.
Your obligation
is Melissa Agretti.
- Oh, come on.
- I'm not through.
What you're trying
to do is unfair.
Good business is rarely fair.
- Where are you going?
- I'm gonna get drunk.
- Think he'll stop for dinner?
- I hope so.
Honey, would you tell him
we're all ready down here?
I went up there when Gus left.
Dad's on some kind of mission.
Yeah. Everything he learns
about his father tears him up.
And he's going at that wall like
he expects to find Jason behind.
- I'll tell him dinner's ready.
- Thank you.
I hope your family was normal.
Reasonably.
I mean it, because the Giobertis
all seem a little weird.
Careful. You're a Gioberti,
you know.
Take grandfather, though.
A little off the wall,
wouldn't you say?
I knew he drank, but this?
This is really weird.
Yeah. That's what
worries your father.
And Emma, well, she's different.
I certainly wouldn't call Angie
your typical lady next door.
There's nothing average about
Angela Channing
I'll give you that.
I'm really concerned
about your father.
You know, he has to have
pleasant memories of Jason.
The last thing he needs to feel
is any more guilt.
- I know.
- Good.
But if I were a writer like you,
I'd not look far for material.
Not with Dad's family handy.
It's crossed my mind.
Hey, what are you doing?
That's my bike.
Are you okay? I'm sorry.
That guy ran me
right off the road.
Do you have any idea how much
this is gonna cost me?
I'm sorry.
Custom touring saddle.
Extruded- alloy frame.
Cotterless crank.
- Just tell me how much it is.
- Eight hundred dollars.
Well, look, don't go away.
How are you gonna get home?
Obviously not on my bike.
I feel terrible about this.
Where do you live?
Sausalito, if it's
any of your business.
Well, hop in my car.
I'll give you a lift to..
Sausalito? That's 50 miles away.
Tell me about it.
Well, look, I just
feel terrible about this.
I've been up all night drinking.
I got a terrible headache.
And you want me to get in that
car with you?
You gotta be dreaming.
I told you I'm gonna
buy you a new bike, right?
Hey!
Come on. I'm gonna
buy you another bike.
Okay, but do me one favor.
Drive a little more
carefully, okay?
I promise.
Alright, come on, guys.
Hey, let's call it
a night, alright?
- But we're not through yet.
- We're almost finished.
- We can finish tomorrow.
- But I got school tomorrow.
- That's exactly the point.
- Come on.
- Out, out, out.
- Thanks for your help.
- Good night.
- Good night, sweetie.
See you in the morning.
Take those shoes off
so you don't
- Yes, mother.
- Yes, mother.
Out.
Honey, let's go to bed.
- You must be exhausted.
- I can't stop now.
You said we could finish
tomorrow.
I know what I said.
I've gotta find out what's
behind this door.
Give me the flashlight.
Chase, just be careful, okay?
It's just a room.
It smells like death in here.
No windows, no ventilation
of any kind.
I feel like I've opened a tomb.
Maggie.
What?
It looks like a family bible.
Okay, come on, my turn.
You're welcome to it.
I don't think my father
thought much of
The Family of Joseph Gioberti.
You'll find his comments
written all over it.
"The gospel according
to St. Angela"?
Oh, he would've changed
the title too.
There are lots of pages
missing, huh?
Yeah, and a lot of others
defaced.
- Ripped out.
- Yeah.
Funny little drawings
cryptic notes to the author.
You think Angela wrote it?
Or had it written.
Even with all the missing pages,
it reads
like the Giobertis
led the Crusades..
and then went on
to bigger and better things.
"The self-anointed queen
at the head of the table?"
Queen Angela the First.
He alternates between
that and St. Angela.
Where did I get the idea
they were so devoted?
From her eulogy
over his grave, probably.
"I will never miss
my brother's love..
"for it became
part of me long ago
and I shall cherish it forever."
- Very moving.
- It was.
More and more, I'm beginning
to realize
that we have only Angie's word
for just about everything
that's happened around here.
Honey, who's Elizabeth Bradbury?
I don't know.
But he writes about her often.
Yeah, he does.
"What happened to Elizabeth
Bradbury, Angie?
Where's Elizabeth now?"
He seemed to feel
that she belonged in the book.
That's strange.
Yeah, it is.
Thank you very much.
No, that will be all. Thank you.
Yes?
Mother, I just saw
Paul Espinoza.
Wants to know how long our
Chenin Blanc is gonna sit there
on the loading dock.
This will need your signature.
Well, Lance is supposed
to take care of that.
Well, Lance didn't come home
again last night.
I know.
As a matter of fact,
no one has seen him in days.
Your little boy
is in San Francisco.
My little boy?
He's never called
my little boy unless
he's done something
to offend you.
Whenever things don't go the way
Lance wants them to, he pouts
sulks, or runs away.
He's run away this time
because he's upset with me.
- Why?
- How would I know?
A few stores in the city called.
He's spending
a great deal of money.
Well, you taught us all
exquisite taste.
He bought a pair of bicycles
for himself
bless his little heart.
Two bicycles?
He never even liked bicycles
when he was growing up.
Well, he's still growing up.
I hope he makes it sometime.
Well, did your source tell you
when he was coming back?
He'll be back by Saturday,
or I'll have him delivered.
I'm having
the Agrettis for dinner.
Thank you.
- I don't think you're trying.
- I'm killing myself, Lori.
Watch it here.
Had enough?
I think so.
Gosh, you're a slave driver.
Oh, come on.
I'll have you in shape
in no time.
Oh, you don't think
I'm in shape, huh?
I was talking about jogging..
bicycling, weightlifting.
I wasn't.
You know what I wanted to say
all morning?
- What?
- I'm starving.
So am I.
Look, there's a nice spot
down there. No wind.
Oh, yeah.
- Oh, this looks great.
- Let's go.
We'll go over there.
Alright. This is beautiful.
I never thought I'd fall
in love with an athlete.
Actually, I never thought
I'd fall in love, period.
I thought I was feeling
all this all by myself.
No way.
These picnics,
that crazy bicycle.
I can't believe the things
that I'm doing.
- And you know something else?
- What?
Even holding hands, even this
means something very special.
Well, it means everything.
It means I love you.
I belong to you. I need you.
You weren't in my plans either.
Well, now, what were your plans?
Traveling.
Finishing gemology school first.
And then seeing the world.
I was just gonna
do it by myself.
But now I don't know.
To your world.
To our world.
You know, we always talk about
what I do and what I want.
- So, what do you do?
- My work?
Sometimes I don't even
know myself.
Well, you're not a professional
bicycle rider
we already know that.
I have a career, though.
And it's usually saying yes
to my grandmother.
That's a funny thing to say.
It's funny, but it's true.
He writes really well,
doesn't he?
Sometimes too damn well.
Oh, come on.
This is lovely, Chase.
Read it, Mom.
"I will raise my son at my side.
"He will know my love
by all we share together.
He will know my pride in him,
because I'll tell him so."
- Nothing wrong with that, dad.
- Except it never happened.
It's a fantasy.
I wasn't here at his side.
But you were 12
when your mother took you away.
Yeah.
"Lillie Gioberti was so often
gone that the boy Jason
"gave his maternal affection
to his Mexican nurse
who, of all people,
treated him kindest."
Lillie was his mother.
Anyway, she gave birth to him.
I don't think she was much
of a mother
to Angie or my father.
Your grandmother took off,
your mother took off.
Gioberti men
must be awful to live with.
Now wait a minute.
Just a minute.
They are impossible.
I'll attest to that.
Okay, okay.
Do you think you can make
any sense out of all this?
Some cohesive whole with
a beginning, a middle, an end?
Darling, it's not over yet.
We're a part of it too,
you know.
Listen to this
"Even as a child, Angela ruled
as if by divine right.
She did not play games with
the boy, she directed play."
The boy? He must mean himself.
Yes.
"There were two games only
"grape growing and wine making.
The boy began to hate them both
at an early age."
I wonder why he wouldn't say
"I" and "me."
He didn't feel part
of the family
didn't feel he really belonged.
"Queen Angela inherited
"the absent mother's place
at the table..
"and occupied
her father's full attention."
- Her father's.
- Yeah.
"The boy filled his thoughts
"with the secret walks
he'd take and with fishing
and he would think too
of Elizabeth Bradbury."
- There's that name again.
- She's all through my stuff.
Beautiful, gentle Elizabeth,
laughing Elizabeth.
She's not in anything of mine.
Mine's full of Jacqueline.
- Yeah, that's my mother.
- I know.
Chase, listen.
"Elizabeth Bradbury, age 18
was struck down and run over
"by a car yesterday afternoon.
"Doctors at Valley Hospital
report severe damage
"to her back and legs.
"The driver of the car
did not stop.
There were no witnesses
to the accident."
Come in.
Julia.
I was just thinking that maybe
I could work
on something in here.
I miss Lance.
I do too.
He'll be back by Saturday.
You know what I miss most?
His car.
It roars and screeches.
Yes, he does drive too fast,
doesn't he?
Only when he's mad.
Oh, no, we don't say that,
do we?
We say angry.
Yes, we say angry.
Mad is quite another thing.
Hi. Oh, am I
interrupting something?
- Yes.
- No, come in.
I can come back later.
No, come in.
- Alright.
- Maggie.
Do you say angry or mad?
I didn't upset her, did I?
No, don't be concerned.
Emma never stays long,
and today's gotten
a bit out of her grasp.
I see.
Julia, listen, what can you tell
me about Elizabeth Bradbury?
How do you know
Elizabeth Bradbury?
I don't. Just what I read from
old papers we found of Jason's.
Well, she's an invalid.
Yes. I read about the accident.
But she's still living?
Yes. She lives here
in the valley.
She's one of Mother's
pet charities.
What does your mother
do for her?
Well, I don't know exactly.
Except that mother goes to visit
her every week, religiously.
She used to take me with her.
And then she took Emma
for a while
but it used to upset Emma
terribly.
Is she badly crippled?
Well, she's confined
to a wheelchair.
She sits up very straight
and she has one of the loveliest
faces I've ever seen.
I guess she takes Lance
to see her now.
Your mother must think
very highly of her.
Angela says that Elizabeth
Bradbury is there to remind us
how really fortunate we are.
I think the rest of us
are just crippled in other ways.
Gus, was my father
in love with her?
Well, it was hard not to be.
She was beautiful.
She still is.
She meant something to him.
He spoke of her often.
Asked if I'd seen her,
how she was doing.
He wrote about her a lot,
all through his writings.
Well, Elizabeth Bradbury was
the kind of girl
that made an impression.
Jason was a young man then.
But he never forgot about her.
That was a long time ago,
the accident.
Old Jasper Gioberti
paid all of her hospital bills.
Left her some money
when he died.
Gus, was my grandfather
responsible for the accident?
I never heard that.
Grandmother?
Lance. Darling.
Well, I was wondering
when you were gonna come home.
I'd like you
to meet Lori Chapman.
Lori. You're very lovely.
Thank you, Mrs. Channing.
Oh, well, do come in
and sit down.
Make yourself at home.
Now, Lori, tell me all about
yourself.
- Well, I
- Lori works in San Francisco.
In San Francisco?
Well, we'll have to get
better acquainted, won't we?
Could I offer you some wine?
Oh, nothing, thank you.
What have you been
up to in the city?
Lance?
I'm gonna move there.
Oh, you've met Lori,
and now you're gonna move?
- That's right.
- Oh, my goodness, that's fast.
I thought it might be time
to work
for the Falcon Crest
headquarters.
I'd work my way up there
the same way I've done here.
- Has he told you all this?
- Not all of it.
But it sounds wonderful.
Well, I think there's a better
time to discuss your plans.
I'm going to drive Lori
back to the city.
And when I do, I'm gonna stop by
Falcon Crest headquarters.
I like to work
with corporate controllers.
There is a better time, Lance.
I hope you've brought something
appropriate to wear for dinner.
We're having guests.
You were raised here?
It's the only home
I've ever had.
But it doesn't compare
to the one
we'll share one day soon.
That has a nice sound.
Oh, Lance, I don't know.
My grandmother got to you.
Yes, she did.
She got to you, didn't she?
No. No, it isn't that.
Well, then, what is it?
Is it all of this?
Falcon Crest?
Is that what concerns you?
This is very beautiful.
And Falcon Crest,
that's awesome.
You know, my grandmother
is larger than life.
Don't let her frighten you.
She doesn't frighten me.
But I think she frightens you.
No, she doesn't.
Hello, Cole. This is Angela.
I have a slight problem.
Oh, a very attractive problem.
But I have an extra girl
for dinner.
Say about 6:30.
Oh, thank you, Cole.
You may have saved my life.
Thank you, Chao-Li.
- Mr. Agretti.
- Thank you.
I would like to make a toast
to my dear friend Carlo
and to his lovely
daughter, Melissa.
And to the lovely matriarch
of Falcon Crest, dear Angela.
Thank you. When Chao-Li
calls dinner
I want you to escort Melissa.
Would you excuse me
just a moment?
- Of course.
- But, Grandmother.
You heard me.
Lori, how are you
and Cole getting along?
- Fine.
- Just fine.
Oh, that's lovely.
Well, enjoy yourselves, huh?
I'm so glad you could be
with us this evening.
Thank you for asking us.
And you're such a lovely young
lady. Isn't she, Lance?
I'm delighted
you could be with us.
Thank you.
Melissa, I have something
to say to Angela.
Why don't you wait
in the car for me?
- It was wonderful. Good night.
- Good night, darling.
Lance is in love
with that Chapman girl.
I don't think so.
If he was nice to her,
he was just being polite.
He couldn't keep his eyes off
her all evening.
He laughs at her jokes,
he smiles when she smiles
and he hangs on every word
that comes out of her mouth.
I don't want
my daughter hurt, Angela.
Well, he might have
a passing fancy for Lori..
but it's nothing
to worry about.
I know what the marriage
of your grandson
and my daughter
would mean to both of us.
But if he's in love with someone
else, I cannot allow it.
Oh, well, I couldn't either.
You see, I want Lance
to be happy.
I wouldn't pressure him
into anything.
But if he starts seeing Melissa,
then it's his choice.
I hope so, Angela.
Thank you for a lovely dinner.
Oh, Carlo, it was my pleasure.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Jason Gioberti's son,
back in our valley.
Forgive me, but I do so welcome
the sight of him.
Thank you. You're very kind.
Please, sit down.
Thanks.
It's nice of you
to let us come see you.
My father wrote of you many
times in his diaries.
- He did?
- Yes.
That surprises me very much.
"Beautiful Elizabeth.
Lovely, gentle Elizabeth."
You didn't know
he thought of you that way?
He didn't talk a great deal,
you know.
He was shy.
I'm not sure I knew that then.
You were quite young, weren't
you, when you had your accident?
Yes.
I never saw Jason after that.
Ever?
He never once came to see me.
And that nearly broke my heart,
because I was madly
in love with him.
Well, why wouldn't he come?
Things were very different then.
A girl in a wheelchair
didn't date very much.
In those days, a physical
handicap was just that.
A physical handicap.
And then he met Jacqueline,
your mother.
I heard how beautiful she was
how much she loved Jason.
And I was very happy for him.
I learned about his doings
through Angela.
What a faithful friend
she's always been.
He cared for you. I know that.
Thank you.
That's a very nice thing
to remember.
Why didn't he ever go
to see her again?
Elizabeth said that
he was very shy.
A boy that age, he just probably
didn't want to get involved.
But I know he cared for her.
Maybe he wasn't
in love with her
but even if she were
just a friend
I just don't understand it.
Are you afraid he might be
responsible for her condition?
Aren't you?
Chase, I don't know.
Guilt could've kept him away.
Why is he so hard to get at?
I wanna know what kind of man
my father was.
Why can't I work
in San Francisco?
I'd still be part
of Falcon Crest.
San Francisco is not the issue.
Your little shop girl is.
She isn't just a shop girl.
She's active.
She has lots of interests.
- Such as?
- Well, she runs, she bicycles.
She studies at night
to become a jewelry appraiser.
You'd be amazed what she knows
about precious stones already.
If you'd just take the time
to get to know her, please.
No need to.
Grandmother, I love her.
And I want to marry her.
And I think we'd stand a better
chance in San Francisco.
You're not free
to make those choices.
I have invested my time, my
knowledge and my money in you.
And my dividends include
your unquestioning loyalty.
You have my loyalty.
But I'm not your personal
property. I have my own life.
The marriage will be to Melissa
Agretti, when the time is right.
- But, Grandmother
- Or I disinherit you.
I love Lori.
Well, I didn't say
you couldn't love her.
I said you can't marry her.
Of course I like Lori.
I liked her immediately.
She has stamina and spirit
traits that I admire
tremendously in a person.
Well, then you'll help me
with Grandmother?
No.
You said that you'd be able
to help me.
That I would probably love her
as a daughter-in-law.
But none of that
makes any difference.
Hasn't anyone
ever stood up to Grandmother?
You can't fight her and win.
You have too much to lose.
But I'd have Lori.
And I'm not gonna lose her.
You don't have to lose her.
Just don't marry her.
Lance..
Sometimes I wish
we'd never opened this room up.
I think Chase is sorry too.
It's almost as if this is
where Jason really died.
I guess part of him did.
Half of him wonders
how his father died.
The other half wonders
whom he hurt before he died.
He hurt himself, mostly.
Not Elizabeth Bradbury?
No.
We talked about everything in
life, especially when he drank.
Sometime he would have
told me that.
Angie.
Have you ever been
to a winery before?
Nothing so elegant.
All of this should be
Lance's one day.
It's very impressive.
I've been thinking about you.
With your apparent
interest in gems..
I would think you'd enjoy
a trip to the Orient.
I'm sure I would.
Lance tells me you're studying
to be an appraiser.
There's some wonderful schools
in the East, you know.
Yes, there are.
Are you making me an offer,
Mrs. Channing?
I'm making you two.
You have a choice.
l love him very much.
That word is used
so easily these days.
I love him very much.
Enough to know that he probably
belongs here at Falcon Crest.
And you?
He was lost to me
before I even met him.
You got him too early,
Mrs. Channing
molded him early,
obligated him early.
His heritage obligated him.
You know, it's really
too bad, though.
He was just beginning
to come into his own terms.
Do you know that he's fine
and strong and gentle?
Well, he'll always be able
to use those qualities,
if he has them.
I don't mind losing
as much as I mind you winning.
Shall we go?
I'm sorry, Lance. It's over.
I should've never
taken you to Falcon Crest.
We should've gotten
on our bicycles
and just never looked back.
It's too late for that now.
It's not too late, Lori.
We can find someplace
where she can't reach us.
And where would that be?
I'm always gonna wonder
how she got to be so powerful.
We can't let her stop us.
She already has.
You're hers.
I'm not gonna fight her.
But I can. And I will.
You see,
I can change everything.
I wish that was possible.
Don't go, baby.
I have to.
You're all that I have.
You're all that I love.
You have your family.
I don't have any family.
I never have.
My father tried, but I never
gave him the chance.
You're the first one who's ever
allowed me to feel anything.
And I can't lose you.
I'll talk to my grandmother.
I'll tell her
I'm through with Falcon Crest.
Just be somebody
you like, Lance.
You'll always be
somebody I love.
Just feel something.
Even pain is better
than nothing.
Bye.
I offered you the complete
family history
when you were here before.
And you didn't seem to care.
I've done a little exploration
since then.
And I came up with this.
It's in my father's handwriting.
Oh, poor Chase.
You've found it, haven't you?
Jason's horrible room.
And this was in the ashes
of his fireplace
"Damn Angie and her deadly
blue convertible."
Then it says "Elizabeth.."
The rest of it's burned away.
Well, you persist
in stirring those ashes..
even Elizabeth's
tragic accident.
You were driving
that convertible.
We were all very sad for her.
The entire valley
was devastated.
Yet no one ever stepped forward,
ever admitted guilt.
My father and I have always
seen to it
that she's never wanted
for anything.
Except a life.
Life is rarely fair.
I could hope that Emma was not
so troubled..
and that Julia had more
strength.
But as it is,
my children are flawed.
Retribution, Angela?
I consider it my lot in life.
Why did you let me believe
that my father
might have been responsible?
You let yourself believe that.
Give me one thing
to remember him by, Angela.
Something, no matter how slight
that will help me to remember
him with some shred of pride.
Decency.
Alright.
You are a rich man, Gus.
A rich man is a man who
has a son..
to grow with and fish with
and travel with..
and share so much.
I don't have a son.
But, Jason, you have Chase.
He writes to you all the time.
No. No, he left me.
His mother took him away.
He was a little boy.
Well, he's a man now.
And he hasn't come back.
Damn him.
Who in hell
needs Chase Gioberti?
How did you get that?
Gus tried to convince me
that Jason needed
some kind of help.
So I asked him
to make that recording.
You never gave him that help.
As long as I live, I'll grieve
that he died feeling as he did.
But at least I know now.
That's some sort of resolution.
You win at any cost, don't you?
Maggie's name was Hartford,
wasn't it?
From Maryland?
And I think her mother
was a Griffith.
My God.
You've started
a file on my wife.
Well, I've always wanted
to know her better.
You don't mean all this, Jason.
You love Chase.
You know you do.
Yes, I do. I do love my son.
I need him. I need my son.
I want him with me, Gus.
