Falcon Crest (1981) s01e12 Episode Script

- Hi.
- Hi. What's the occasion?
Dad's mother's coming in
from France today.
Why did Jacqueline ever leave?
I don't know.
But we're gonna find out
why she came back.
Jacqueline Perrault
is a very wealthy woman.
She could be
a tough opponent, Angela.
I stood by for 12 years
and watched her wear him down.
That doesn't sound like you.
She was a ruthlessly
ambitious woman.
I wonder why Jacqueline
has returned to Falcon Crest.
- Jacqueline.
- Mother.
- Jacqueline.
- Angela.
Hold it. Just a minute.
Just let me get underneath
there.
Okay, okay, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Why did you unplug it?
Just slow down.
She's not the Queen of England.
It's worse than that.
She's your mother.
Oh, relax.
We live here.
We're not gonna be on display.
I have hardly had time
to do the kitchen properly.
If she'd given us notice,
I could've
She's a jetsetter.
And jetsetters
like to hang loose.
London one day
and Paris the next.
And here this afternoon, right.
Take this upstairs,
start on the bedrooms.
She's coming to visit us
not to see
the conditions we live in.
Chase, please, New York is 3000
miles closer to France
than we are here and she didn't
visit us for years, right?
Now we get a call from
the South of France
with the news
that she's arriving.
Sounds like more than
maternal instinct.
It sounds like
she is checking up on us.
And I don't intend
to fail the inspection.
- I mean it.
- You think that's it, Dad?
Why is she coming
all the way out here?
I didn't ask her and she didn't
volunteer to tell me.
She just asked me
not to tell Angela
she was coming, that's all.
Maybe she wanted
to surprise her.
I'll bet. I don't think
I've ever heard
Angela even mention Jacqueline.
Come to think of it, my mother
rarely mentioned Angela either.
Alright, Cole, come on.
Flight information, please.
Hello, this is Chase Gioberti.
G-I-O-B-E-R-T-I.
Employee number: 0129-72055.
Yeah, I'd like the arrival time
on a passenger, please.
I need a bunch of iris.
Oh, those mums are nice.
Oh, and also a dozen roses.
And those carnations.
Do you think those will go with
the lilies I picked out?
I'm kind of looking
for a European touch.
Why don't you try
the fleurs des bois?
- Lance, hi.
- Hi. What's the occasion?
Dad's mother's coming in
from France today.
The Concorde to New York.
Can you imagine?
So I'm getting some flowers
for the house.
It could use a little something.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, sure.
You know, I haven't seen her
since I was 3, so it's..
It's gonna be like meeting her
for the first time.
That's 10.60.
Tell me, how are
the long-stemmed
white roses today?
They're lovely
but they're $60 per dozen.
Three dozen will be fine.
Wow, it must be love.
I like to think of it
as a form of insurance.
Are you sure?
I know, but even computers
make mistakes.
Alright, thanks very much.
Maggie?
Cole, get the..
Yeah, okay, up.
- Maggie.
- That's it.
Maggie.
Whoa, Chase, honey, would you
lift the bed with Cole..
- Her plane lands in 20 minutes.
- Twenty minutes?
I thought we had three hours.
I called the AIA passenger
information supervisor.
She landed in Washington
bumped someone off the wait
list for a San Francisco flight.
She didn't even call.
She'll call from the airport.
Tell her I'm on my way.
I'll be there.
Gus was coming to help me with
those crates.
Tell him I'm sorry.
Alright. Well, well..
Let me get this out of here.
Shoot.
What are you doing here?
Take the vacuum
and do your room.
Forget your room,
do the guestroom.
I don't think I did that.
She wouldn't be coming
unless she had a good reason.
- What's she like?
- Thank you very much, Lance.
Jacqueline Perrault?
Well, she was an attractive
young woman, I suppose.
She was born in France,
American parents..
and she was
educated in England.
A real European, then?
Oh, not necessarily.
She picked up enough
of the culture to attract Jason.
But she was always
a ruthlessly ambitious woman.
Oh, she sounds threatening.
Only to the weak.
Like Jason?
It was pitiful to watch him
with her.
You know, I stood by
for 12 years
and watched her wear him down.
Well, that doesn't
sound like you..
standing by for anything.
Well, she was my brother's wife.
What else could I do?
Things have certainly changed
around here since then.
That was 30 years ago.
Things are a lot less genteel
than they were then..
and far below her standards.
Then I wonder why Jacqueline
has returned to Falcon Crest.
Couldn't the florist
arrange those?
I wanted to give them
a personal touch.
Show our guest that some of us
have a little style.
Well, do you want
a Cole Gioberti Fiasco on rye?
Sure. Oh, but hold
the onion, okay?
Yeah.
Alright.
Dad will be back in an hour.
I'd better hustle.
Is your shower broken?
I just want to keep my bathroom
nice and clean for our guest.
If royalty is all it takes
to get this place in shape..
we'll have to have Prince
Charles and Lady Di over.
Vickie, would..
I'll get it.
Cole. Oh, you're here.
Hey.
Maggie?
Jacqueline.
Well, welcome.
Well, come in. I..
And this is Cole?
- My goodness, how he's grown.
- Yes.
Cole, where's that sand..
Victoria?
Oh, call me Jacqueline.
Why can't Chao-Li do it?
Because you're her relative.
And you should take our
affectionate welcome
to her personally.
Oh, is that
what it is? Affection?
Take it.
I thought you would've had
this wall redone
if you're really
going to live here.
Dad says it gives him
a feeling of the past.
It does.
But I've never found
the past that fascinating.
How long has it been
since you were here?
Well, when Chase was small,
we had to leave.
Why?
I went to the airport
to meet you but..
- Mother.
- Chase.
Oh, look at you.
This is real golden sable?
Oh, I can't wait to see all
the European fashions.
Well, I really didn't
bring that much.
- I didn't think I'd need
- Of course, you're right.
We never get a chance
to get dressed up around here.
I spend most
of my time knee-deep
in fertilizer
and caked with dirt.
And you seem so ladylike to me.
Well, I am.
I just don't get much
of a chance to show it.
I guess I'm kind of stuck here
for a while, though.
Well, what do you mean by that?
Being stuck someplace
is only a state of mind.
I left my parents'
home in France
as soon as I found
something better.
Was Jason that something
better for you?
Oh, Jason was a wonderful man.
He was a connoisseur
of the best things in life.
He spoke
all the romance languages
as though they were his own.
And music..
oh, how he loved music.
It sounds like you were
really in love.
Yes.
He was a man worth loving.
Then why did you leave him?
You know
you really
should visit Paris.
In the spring, the blossoms
create their own soft snowfall
and we could go shopping
together and to the galleries.
We would have a wonderful time.
Oh, it's just that
the dining-room table
is covered with newspapers.
I come down the stairs..
Wait, I've got rollers
in my hair.
I've got half my makeup on,
half my makeup off.
Cole comes out of the kitchen
with salami and cheese dripping
so attractive.
She'd left the airport
by the time I got there.
And she's so damned gracious.
You can't stay angry with her.
That's what makes me mad.
Vickie seems to get along
with her well.
Yes, she does.
- Lance, well, hi.
- Hi, Maggie.
- How nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.
- Hi, Chase.
- What's this?
This is a present
from my grandmother.
- Oh, it's lovely.
- It's for your mother.
Well.
And who is this
handsome young man?
This is Lance Cumson,
Angela's grandson.
My mother, Jacqueline Perrault.
Enchant�, madame.
- You must be Julia's son.
- Yes.
Oh, how nice.
This is some of Falcon Crest's
finest wines.
Chardonnay, Petite Sirah
and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Well, I won't compare those
with my Bordeaux.
There's good wines coming out
of Falcon Crest.
Well, for California, I'm sure.
But here, wine is a business
and in France, it's an art.
A dinner invitation from Angela
isn't that sweet?
From what I could gather..
she wants to spend
more time with Chase
before she sees anyone else.
I think her exact words were,
"How sweet."
I see.
But, you know, I got a feeling
when I went over there.
What kind of feeling?
Chase has no better idea
of why Jacqueline has come back
to Falcon Crest than we do.
Well, that's his problem.
But I'm gonna find out.
How can I help you?
Just stay out of the way.
- Oh, merci, Victoria.
- Il ny a pas de quoi!
Cole, pick the plates up
from the right side.
Don't you know anything
about French service?
No, I don't know anything
about French service.
Or German or Italian or Chinese.
Does that mean
I lose my citizenship?
It means you don't have style.
- Hey, listen, you little
- Hey, hey, you two.
I thought you were going out.
Be ready in five minutes.
I'll be out in the jeep.
I should call Nicole
and make it some other time.
I should spend time
with Jacqueline.
You made an appointment with
Nicole, you should keep it.
- But Jacqueline's only gonna
- Honey..
maybe Jacqueline would like
to spend time with your father.
But always with
a European flair.
I think that's what
attracted Jacqueline
to Jason to begin with.
Why? Jason was born right here.
I know but he was interested
in continental things.
How do you think Emma learned
all those French songs?
I must say, Jacqueline certainly
doesn't look like she's
from around here.
That's enough conversation
about that woman.
Grandmother, we didn't mean
anything by that.
It's just harmless conversation.
- Is Jacqueline here?
I have so much to tell her
about Uncle Jason and me.
Will you go to your room and get
out of that ridiculous outfit?
- Go on.
- You didn't have to say that.
Don't tell me
what I have to say.
She slammed the door
right in my face.
I've never seen her so uptight.
Well, you know, Jacqueline's
been living
in France all of these years..
enjoying the finest things
that life has to offer.
Why would that
bother Grandmother?
Well, she's been here,
obsessed with Falcon Crest.
Maybe she's finally realizing
what she's missed out on.
Why did Jacqueline ever leave?
I don't know.
But we're gonna find out
why she came back.
My attorneys went over that will
with a fine- toothed comb.
But, dear, there could
be the possi
- Oh, the dinner was delightful.
- Thank you.
I haven't had coq au vin
like that since
Well, since the last time
I was in the States.
Well, how about some good old
American coffee? Yes?
The will was very specific.
Now, if Angela
had died first, Father
would have had
Falcon Crest as his.
Exactly.
And I doubt if she was about to
let that happen.
I have had my suspicions,
believe me.
But there's never been
any real evidence
that Father's death was
anything but an accident.
So long as you think so
I guess that's all that matters,
isn't it?
It's a shame we don't have more
opportunity to work on our game.
I'm involved in something
much more challenging than golf.
This was a good opportunity
to get some information
and keep it confidential.
I don't know what we found out
is all that valuable.
But I had direct contact with my
sources in London, Paris..
Brussels and New York..
all of whom confirmed
that Jacqueline Perrault has
in fact,
been married three times..
since her divorce
from Jason in 1951.
Did she have any other children?
None.
When Chase left her in Paris
in 1958 to join the Air Force
she moved to Monaco
where she met
and married her second husband.
When he died..
she was left
with six oil tankers.
And you know what's happened
to the oil business.
Two years later,
she married her next husband..
a Belgian art dealer.
Well, I don't wanna know about
her life and loves,
just give me the bottom line.
- Current assets?
- Right.
Real estate, investment funds,
art collections, jewelry,
cash accounts..
and ancillary manufacturing
and agriculture
including some prime vineyards
just northeast of Paris.
The total comes
to nearly 50 million US dollars.
Jacqueline Perrault
is a very wealthy woman.
So am I.
But I've earned mine.
She could be
a tough opponent, Angela.
Bonjour, Mama.
Good morning.
Honey, wanna get me
some butter, please?
- Good morning.
- Hi.
- Oh, that smells good.
- Thank you.
- Has anybody seen Jacqueline?
- She's probably still asleep.
I checked her room.
I thought she'd be here.
Helping?
She's probably
upstairs, somewhere.
Mother?
Actually, some croissants
and espresso
might be better,
don't you think?
She must've gone for a walk.
I'll go take a look for her.
Jacqueline?
I'm
I'm Emma.
I'm Emma Channing.
I'm Angela's daughter.
- I've heard all about you.
- You have?
Uncle Jason told me about
the time he met you
first in Paris.
It must've been so romantic.
It was.
If only I'd seen him
before his accident.
Nobody saw him.
He fell.
What?
Jason was killed
in his truck, Emma.
Oh, yes.
Jason was killed in his truck..
too.
Too?
What do you mean?
Emma.
Julia told me
you'd come up here, Emma.
I'm, I'm sorry, Mother.
I just wanted to..
Jacqueline.
Angela.
Have you been happy
all these years?
Happier than if I'd stayed here
at Falcon Crest.
I doubt if you
would have been happy here.
After all, we have to fight
for what we have.
Oh, you did more
than simply fight.
You dominated everything
and everyone you ever met.
You live by taking the life
of everyone around you.
Just like you tried to do to me.
Well, if you feel that way,
why did you come back?
To warn Chase.
To tell him that I left
Falcon Crest for good reason..
and that you constantly
undermined his father.
Jason was unfit
for the life here.
And you consider
your daughter, Emma, fit?
Emma is special.
She has her own ways.
But Jason was weak.
He just wasn't a vineyardist.
Is that what drove him
off a cliff? His weakness?
When you deserted him,
he became a drunk.
He had an accident.
Mother.
I'm coming, Chase.
If you'll excuse me,
my son needs me, Angela.
Where's Joe DiMaggio
when you need him?
That thing's so gauche anyway.
I'm surprised you wanna
eat here at all.
After all, we're only having
bacon and eggs
not p�t� and caviar.
Well, we could open some
champagne, couldn't we?
Oh, darling, I think that's
a rather good idea. Perhaps.
I just went for a little walk.
What were you doing
at the cemetery?
Good morning.
Well, a little cheese
would help.
Yeah, but I was just about
to add some,
as a matter of fact.
Mother, breakfast
is almost ready.
Why don't we start with juice?
In the dining room.
Maggie could use some help.
It's alright, I'll muddle
through. Thank you.
Come on.
Seeing Angela just now,
made me certain of one thing.
This is no place for you
or your family.
Mother, I know how you feel
about this place.
I spent over 12 years here.
And I know what Falcon Crest
can do to you.
It took a decent, creative,
loving man..
and destroyed him.
My father's problems
are not mine.
Things were different for him.
I am different.
You'll never make it here.
Angela won't let you.
She has nothing to say about it.
Well, she stopped your father.
And she'll stop you
the same way if she can.
What's that supposed to mean,
"the same way"?
Are you that naive?
Do you really believe that
you'll be able
to succeed where
your father failed?
Mother, now, you have no love
for this place..
no feeling for the land
or what Father was like.
My love is for you.
I appreciate that.
Excuse me.
Chase..
Jacqueline
please let him go.
Oh, I didn't mean to upset him.
I know. I know you didn't.
You just..
You have to understand
that Chase
is very sensitive to his past,
to his father.
- And to this place?
- Yes, I suppose he is.
This house, this land,
it means a great deal to him..
and you can't expect him
to just give it up
because you disapprove.
Well, my approval
is not the point.
I'm simply frightened
for you here.
Frightened?
But certainly there's nothing..
Well, the vineyards,
the history
the whole
wine-country lifestyle.
Now, if that's what
you're after
you and Chase
can come to France.
And I'll give you
one of my vineyards.
In the real wine country.
And there you'll have the finest
champagne grapes
in the whole world.
And without the struggle.
Jacqueline..
it's the struggle
that my family needs.
Hey, where are you going?
Hey!
But I'm offering you
a better life.
Now, if only you and Chase
would leave Falcon Crest..
we could all
be a family again.
And I need my son.
I need all of you, Maggie.
I thought I might find you here.
- You left kind of suddenly.
- Yeah.
Parents can get to you
sometimes, you know?
Oh, yeah, I know.
Dad, after you left, Jacqueline
invited us all to France.
She wants to give us a vineyard
and a winery to go with it.
You see that flat area
out there?
We could build a terrific winery
rightthere.
Couple of thousand square feet,
oak cooperage, loft storage.
Fortified against
attack by Angie?
We could make a down payment
on this piece this year.
Plant it next year and be
harvesting chardonnays in five.
By that time,
we'll have the winery built
right here in the middle
of our vineyard.
But we don't have
to go through all this.
We can have it all now.
Just sell our place to Angie
and move to France.
Think how nice it would be
to be with Jacqueline.
You'd have everything you want.
My daughter, I've got everything
I want right here.
But this place,
it's always falling apart.
You and Mom work 12 hours a day.
Think how fabulous it would be
to live in France.
France would be different,
wouldn't it?
It sure would.
But it wouldn't be home.
Vickie, we're just beginning
to get our roots right here.
Sure.
But as long as we're here,
Angie's gonna keep trying
to get us out.
Then this is where
we make our stand.
You're obsessed with this place.
Dad, if Jacqueline's got
a better offer for us
we ought to take it.
Well, we can't.
Well, I can.
Vickie.
- I don't think so.
- What did she look like?
I'll call you later.
I've been staying
out of the way.
- Emma was down there.
Emma shouldn't have been there.
Why would you wanna keep her
cooped up on a lovely day
like this?
Well, you know how Emma is
and someone might misunderstand.
Like Jacqueline.
I thought you were staying
out of this.
Well, I don't see why you care
what Jacqueline thinks.
The whole time she and Uncle
Jason lived here..
all you ever did
was fight like cats and dogs.
Well, we'll just change
all of that now.
- Hello?
- Hello, Maggie.
This is Angela.
Hi. How are you?
We were hoping that we might
get together with Jacqueline
before she leaves.
Well, Angela, I think
Jacqueline's gonna
be around a while longer.
We were also hoping that
you all would
come over for dinner tonight.
Tonight? Dinner?
Well, that sounds very nice,
I just
Just a second.
Angela, when I came back
this morning..
I found Maggie up to her
elbows in the kitchen.
So I'm afraid that
you have no choice
but to join us here
for the festivities.
Oh, it'll be nice and informal.
Just family.
A reunion.
Shall we say, 7?
Oh, and don't forget
to bring Emma.
I'd just love to see her again.
Yes, 7 would be fine.
Jacqueline, what's all this
about "festivities"?
Don't worry about a thing.
We'll call a caterer in the city
and he'll bring it all up.
I see.
I am rather surprised you'd
wanna have Angela here at all.
I think we might find
it advantageous
to play her game on our court.
You think there's
enough sorrel sauce?
Yes, miss.
You're gonna be pouring
the wine.
Yes, miss.
The Fum� Blanc
with the appetizer
and the chardonnay
with the entr�e.
The chardonnay is served
with the appetizer..
and the Fum� Blanc is served
with the entr�e.
Since when are you
such an expert?
All you made
are dried-out hamburgers.
I've never had the help
to do things properly.
- Hey, you got any cheese dip?
- Cheese dip?
Hardly, sir.
So?
What do you think?
Who are we trying
to impress, huh?
The caterers, who else?
This is gonna be
an interesting evening.
Did Mother say anything about
what she and Angie
talked about in the cemetery?
- Would you stop worrying?
- I'm not worrying.
Stop worrying. Angie and your
mother are beyond squabbling
I'm sure.
Whatever took place between them
happened over 30 years ago, so..
Whatever happened,
I have a feeling
it was just the beginning.
What did you do?
Oh, it's part of your charm
that you cannot tie your tie.
- You look very nice tonight.
- Thank you. So do you.
Where's your mother?
I think she'll be down
in a minute.
Would you like some sherry?
Calm your nerves?
My nerves don't need calming.
I just don't like to be late.
It's rude.
- Well, how do I look?
- You look fine.
Thank you. I'm sorry I'm late
but I just wanted
to dress properly.
Well, you've made
your appearance
so I'll say good night, dear.
Oh, but, Mother,
I'm going with you.
Julia said it was okay.
Oh, well, not tonight, honey.
But Vickie invited me.
I'm expected.
Emma, I think you'll be more
comfortable at home tonight.
Oh, Mother, let her go.
It's a family reunion.
I thought I looked very nice.
Why didn't you tell me
Vickie called?
I've been staying
out of the way.
If I'd known you wanted
me to monitor
I might've helped.
Did you have to involve
Emma in this?
Oh, Mother, let her go. We'll
just be one big happy family.
Oh, really.
How are you doing?
Just a Scotch neat, please.
No, thanks.
- Thanks.
- Yes, it's your wine.
That's what I thought.
Well, Julia, I'm glad
you could join us.
I was afraid
you wouldn't make it.
Oh, I wouldn't miss it
for the world.
Julia doesn't like
to miss anything.
I see. I think..
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
Oh, it's been so long
since I've been in this house.
Well, I won't be in it
too much longer.
Really? Why?
I'm going to France
with Jacqueline.
Oh, Vickie, how exciting.
- Isn't that wonderful, Lance?
- Yeah, it's great.
To be living in France.
Good evening.
What a delightful evening
it's going to be.
No, thank you.
- It was a lovely dinner.
- Thank you.
It beats cooking, doesn't it?
Falcon Crest Sherry
makes it an occasion.
Yes.
Well, you've come a long way
since your father's
Chiantis, Angela.
Still, there's no comparison
to the true chateaux vintages.
We were making good vintages
when that winemaker
you were married to was still
stomping grapes with his feet.
Well, that's what makes
the world go around, doesn't it?
Different tastes.
It's too bad that Uncle Jason
isn't here..
don't you think?
Actually, neither Jason nor
Chase belonged here, Angela.
Oh, I agree with you.
But I can't get Chase
to accept my standing offer.
It's no secret that I want to
replant your acreage.
Yes, I know.
But, ladies, let's not discuss
business tonight, alright?
Well, I just wonder
why you want a mere 50 acres..
when it's already
in the family.
I don't think this is the time
to start a debate
over family business, do you?
Oh, Mother just likes
to dominate everything.
Well, to Jason, whose fate was
sealed the day his father died.
You never gave him
a chance, did you?
I gave him every chance.
Mother.
Mother.
Ma.. Mother. Mother.
Chase, this has been
a long time coming.
Angela..
I won't let you
destroy my son.
I have no interest
in destroying anyone.
What about Jason?
He was a man of culture,
a man with style.
He could had been a great man.
You would've killed him
with your hands..
before you'd have let him
have any part of Falcon Crest.
Did you come all the way
to tell me that?
Power, that's all you love.
Love? What do you know
about love?
The one time you had it,
you turned it away.
That's not what happened
and you know it.
I knew what you were up to.
I knew that you were out to take
over all of Falcon Crest.
Falcon Crest belongs to those
who can control it
and make it live.
It belongs to me because I'm
strong enough to produce.
The future here belongs to
anyone who has the skill..
and the raw guts
to take it away from me.
Now, Jason could never do that
and neither could you.
That's why you ran away.
The only reason I took Chase
away was to keep you
from ruining his life.
Now, why would I do that?
You don't understand, do you?
I don't like you, Angela.
I don't like anything about you.
Now, maybe you've got everybody
else believing
that Jason got drunk and drove
his truck off the road
but I don't accept that.
That's what happened.
Well, Emma seems to think
that Jason died more than once.
That's highly improbable.
The only thing
I really care about is that
my son doesn't become a victim
of some accident himself.
You sound frightened.
- Oh, I am, for my son.
- Well, why tell me? Tell Chase.
She has told me.
But it didn't do any good.
My mother knows me pretty well.
Whenever she told me
I shouldn't do something
I went ahead and did it.
I've made my own mistakes
along with my own successes.
But you don't know her.
She can be treacherous.
- Your father
- I'm not my father.
I've learned a lot
about Falcon Crest.
And about Angela's way
of doing business.
I think we understand
each other.
Do we?
This little adventure you've
brought your family on
is nothing more than that.
It's hardly an adventure.
This is our home now.
We're here to stay.
Chase..
30 years ago,
I had no choice.
Everything was different.
I was only trying
to protect you.
I know.
You amaze me, Chase.
I thought you were
a sensible man.
Intelligent enough
to know when to quit.
But you're really quite
emotional, aren't you?
I hope so.
Well, I don't recall
you taking a drink
this late in the evening
before, Mother.
I never felt the need
of one before.
Jacqueline really got to her.
She did not.
Emma shouldn't have been there.
The things that Emma said
made a lot of sense.
- As a matter of fact
- Lance, you're on thin ice.
I wouldn't take another step,
if I were you.
Good night.
Come in.
I knew you'd still be up.
It hardly turned into
a late night.
Yeah, things did break up
kind of early.
That was some party.
It was a disaster
and you know it.
Still, it was kind of
interesting to see
Jacqueline go for Angie's
throat, huh?
She did no such thing.
She was just forced
to stoop to Angie's level.
So when are you going to France?
I don't know yet.
Lance seems to think you've
already got your bags packed.
Listen, I think
it'll be great for you.
It is my turn.
You got to go to Italy.
Get out of here
for a couple of years.
Live in style like you want.
It'd be good for you to get
the parents off your back.
And they'd probably like to get
you out of their hair too.
You really think so?
Vickie, what do you want?
You hate it here.
Nobody likes seeing you
put this place down.
Have I really been that obvious?
Subtlety isn't exactly
one of your fortes.
Hey, that's one of your French
words for you.
Well, I'm gonna go hit
the leftovers downstairs.
Cole?
Yeah?
You think there's
enough for two?
Are you kidding?
I made sure those caterers
left everything.
Come on.
Well, this was certainly
some evening, huh?
Now you know why your mother
took you away from here.
Yeah, I suppose so.
Chase, please,
please don't ignore this.
Your mother is frightened
for you.
- Oh, Maggie
- She's very
Don't you be overreacting
too, please.
I am not overreacting.
You heard what your mother
told Angie about some accident.
You don't think this could
happen to you.
She was talking about my father.
She was talking about you too.
Darling, she came here to warn
you because she knows
how dangerous Angela is.
I know that.
I know.
Can you imagine
what would happen..
if we allowed ourselves
to be scared off?
Besides, more and more,
I'm beginning to think..
Angela overplayed her hand
with my father.
Let's go to sleep.
Oh, honey.
Dad's got your things in the
car, we're ready to go.
You still love him, don't you?
After three marriages?
Well, Jason was the first
and I guess he'll always be.
Well, now,
when I get back to France
I'll make a few phone calls
to the better schools
arrange interviews for you
and then before you know it.
Jacqueline..
I can't go
to France with you.
Well, you really are Chase's
daughter, Victoria.
He's never been a quitter,
neither are you.
You might not like
the way things are..
but I think you'd rather
change them than run way.
And besides, France has been
there a long time.
And it'll be there..
when you're ready.
Western Jet Air Lines Flight
733 is now boarding Gate 12.
You know how much I've enjoyed
having you here.
- I'm really gonna miss you.
- Me too.
We're all gonna miss you.
Well, she's leaving.
Who knows when you'll get a
chance to talk to her again.
Mother?
Darling, if there's anything
I can do..
if you need some cash
No, thanks.
But I can give you
anything you want.
Your money is not what I want.
What I want is..
to say..
you don't have to leave,
you know.
You can stay here with us.
You mean that?
Sure, you can..
We could be a family again.
Oh, thank you.
I've waited so long
to hear that.
I've probably waited too long
to say it.
We haven't had much
of a chance to talk lately.
It's been longer than lately.
Yeah, I know.
I resented you for so long
for taking me away.
But you're back now.
And you have a new home.
So forgive me.
- I love you.
- Oh, and I love you.
That's really the reason I came
here, you know.
To tell you that.
And that I want us
to be a family again.
Why haven't we been able to talk
like this before
when I was younger?
I don't know.
I suppose we didn't like each
other very much.
We never gave each other
a chance.
Well, we're gonna have to change
that and make more chances
for ourselves.
You're quite a likable lady,
you know.
Well, I should be.
I raised you.
AIA Flight 207 to Washington
D.C. with connections..
If there's anything I can do,
if I can help..
That would mean you'd have
to come back to Falcon Crest.
And Angela would still be here.
But so would you and Maggie,
my family.
Oh, darling.
