Melrose Place s03e30 Episode Script

How is he? Well, uh, the bullet went in and out, but unfortunately it shattered a piece of his rib, and, in turn, that cut his intercostal artery.
They're prepping him for surgery now.
Matt, I need to see him.
Jo, I'm sorry, you can't.
He's just not up to it right now.
And after surgery, before recovery, he'll just he'll be out of it for hours.
Why don't you get some rest, go home.
Yeah, like hell.
I need to see him.
Jo, he didn't ask for you.
Who did Jake ask for? Amanda would you please come with me? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Jess did this to me.
Jake, it's the medication.
Just relax.
You're the only one I can trust, Amanda.
If anything happens to me, promise you'll prove Jess did this.
He's got to pay.
He has to pay.
"Dear Billy, I'm about to get on a plane "that will take me thousands of miles away from you "and from the life we shared.
"Everything happened so quickly, "I didn't realize what I've given up.
"I hope it isn't too late to tell you "how much I love you and want to be with you.
"If you feel the same, "I'll be on the next flight home.
"If not, I'll understand if you want to sever all ties with me.
"I leave our future in your hands.
Alison.
" This won't do at all.
One day soon, gonna get, gonna get back to you Hey, hey, world, underneath my feet Billy as we both know long distance relationships never work out.
How is he? Sydney, what are you doing here? Caring.
You're not the only one who loves him, Amanda.
Hey I had a dream about you.
You were yelling at my doctors.
That wasn't a dream.
I had to roll a few heads to get you a private room.
Hi, Jake.
Sydney.
Are you okay? Last thing I remember is a shot.
I'm fine.
Everyone else is fine.
We should go.
Stay, okay.
? I stopped by the gift shop, picked up a couple motorcycle magazines.
You probably have them all, but I think Jake wants oneof us to stay.
Thanks for coming, Sydney.
No problem.
I'm just glad you're okay.
Scared you, didn't I? Hardly.
But if you ever think about dying again, I'll kill you.
I heard about Jake.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, well, he's tough.
I'm surprised the bullet didn't bounce off his chest.
Is that for me? Yeah, but it can wait, you've had a long night.
I'm fine, Brooke, let me see it.
Alison asked me to give this to you.
She was very upset that she didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you.
"Dear Billy" "Take care.
Alison.
" Man, that's really cold.
Been together three years, and she gives me that? She could have at least handwritten it out.
No, it's classic Alison.
Why make life personal when you can just hone it in a nice, neat, emotionless paragraph? Is there anything I can do? Yeah, cover for me, I got to get out of here for a while.
What, are you trying to kill me? No, I'll leave that to your wife.
She came by my office yesterday.
She was furious.
Paul, what the hell did you tell her? I told her that I'd found someone else.
She immediately figured that it was another woman.
I had to tell her about us, Matt.
She deserves to know the truth.
Yeah, but you purposely set me up as the bad guy.
I don't appreciate that.
Matt, it was awful.
She was crying, angry, and hurt.
I didn't I just panicked.
I know that that's no excuse.
I apologize.
Look, Paul, I understand that it's difficult for you to be honest with Carol, and I wish I could help you with that, but this, um this just isn't working out for me.
I'm sorry.
Matt, don't leave me.
I need you now.
We can work this out.
No, we can't.
You need to discuss these problems with your wife, not me.
I told you, Carol and I are not a couple.
Yes, you are, yes you are! You may not be happy, but you still have issues that you need to work out with her.
Look, I like you, but this is so complicated.
Look, I'll be there for you, but to listen.
That's all.
That'll be all, Ms.
Mancini.
Great, well, give me a call if you find anything out.
Right.
Will do.
What the hell are you doing here? Who knew robbery and attempted murder could be such messy business, huh? You don't belong here.
Jake fired you.
Well, as his next of kin, I just rehired myself.
Besides, what do you care? You quit, remember? Jake does not want you working here, so get out, or I'll have the cops come back in and throw you out.
What a little spitfire you are.
You're just more protective than a pit bull.
And if you knew anything about what Jake wanted, you'd still be together.
Don't fight me, Sydney.
If you want to compare, let's compare.
I'm here because I'm family.
You're here because you wish you were.
Right, that's why Jake let me in the recovery room and told security to throw your worthless ass out.
He's mad, he'll get over it.
You know how angry siblings get when you sleep with their exes, don't you? Hey.
Hey! Jake's the only family I got, and I love him.
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes to keep this place running.
Now, if you want to help, help.
If you don't, stay out of my way.
This is your office.
My desk is right outside.
I've been notified that your business supplies from los Angeles will be delivered tomorrow.
Oh what a spectacular view.
It's the best in Hong Kong.
This was Mr.
Armstrong's office.
You must be special for him to give it up.
Oh, just a working stiff.
Yesterday I was in L.
A.
fighting for my corporate life, and now You supervise the marketing division of an international manufacturing company.
We're very pleased that you've come to work with us, Miss Parker.
I don't even know where to begin.
It's all so new.
Why don't you take today to get acclimated, and tomorrow we can tour the production facility and meet your department heads.
That sounds great.
Thanks, Lin.
I'll be at my desk if you need anything.
Mr.
Campbell, there's a telephone call for you from Hong Kong.
It's Miss Parker.
Billy, we've got dinner reservations and orchestra seats for "Miss Saigon.
" If you talk to Alison now, you're just bound to argue.
It'll ruin your entire evening, not to mention mine.
Tell Alison I've left for the day.
I'm sorry, Miss Parker, Mr.
Campbell's already left for the evening.
Hello, Dr.
Shaw.
Aah! Aah! Aah! Oh, damn you, Michael.
Are you sure it was Michael? Who else could it be? He's been harassing me for weeks.
What? I got something between my teeth? God, how could you be so cruel? What the hell are you whining about? Oh.
You think I did this? Don't deny it! This was an incredibly sick thing to do.
Wait a second, you're serious.
You think I put this here.
That's a good one, Kim.
Only next time, think of something clever so people will believe you.
Michael, why can't you just leave me alone? Uh, Kimberly, everybody here knows I've been trying to leave you alone for months.
Woman: D&D.
Uh, yes.
Amanda Woodward, please.
This is Dr.
Kimberly Shaw calling.
Kimberly? He's threatening me, Amanda.
He's trying to make me look crazy.
Did he hurt you? No.
God, I can't take this anymore.
At first I thought he was just trying to scare us, but could you meet me for dinner tonight, Chinois, 8:00? Maybe we should join forces.
Oh, thanks.
I'll make the reservation.
Miss Parker.
Miss Armstrong's on line three.
Hi! Hello, Alison.
How are you? I'm fine, it's so good to hear from you.
Everything's great, but I miss home already.
So, um how's Billy? Did he read my letter? Yes, I gave it to him yesterday.
He seemed torn.
To be honest, I think he just wants to start his life over.
He said that? More or less.
He said the reason that he didn't take you to the airport was because he couldn't face saying goodbye to you again.
But but I told him I loved him.
And I'm sure he'll always have a special place in his heart for you.
Alison, you know Billy better than anyone, but you're a rising star.
Maybe deep down, he's afraid that he'll always be in your shadow.
I thought he was happy for me.
He is.
We all are.
But Billy needs to find his own niche, you know, make some life choices for himself.
And for him, that means starting over.
The reason that I called is because I have a feeling that he won't.
And I thought that you should just understand why.
Thanks, Brooke.
I appreciate that.
You have a wonderful future ahead of you.
Have fun.
Bye.
I hope I wasn't interrupting.
No, just an old friend.
Michael? I'll call the police.
Come out and show yourself, you spineless coward.
Oh, hey, let me help you.
Get out of here.
I can barely move.
You want to try to kill me again, now would be a good time.
Look, I know you're angry about me and Jo, but murder? Huh, are you crazy? Where were you when I got shot? Hey was with me.
We were at my place until we got the call about you.
That's a nice touch Use my ex-girlfriend as your alibi.
Jake, you're being ridiculous.
Jess had nothing to do with that robbery.
I knew this was a mistake.
It's last night's gross and receipts.
I would have made the deposit myself, but I knew you'd want to count it.
You opened Shooters? Kicked out the cops, cleaned it up, and cleared two grand.
Don't worry, it's all there.
Jake he's trying to keep your business running.
Don't bother, Jo.
He's never gonna believe we're trying to help.
Get out.
Come on.
Stay out of my bar.
Listen, you ungrateful jerk.
You got bills due and employees who need paychecks.
Now, when you're strong enough, you can personally kick the crap out of me and throw me out yourself.
But until then, I'm gonna make sure your business stays afloat.
Oh, Amanda, I'm sorry I'm late.
Emergency surgery.
Hi, um, can I have a chardonnay, please? What's wrong, Amanda? Michael was stalking me in the parking garage.
He's trying to scare me.
The truth is, it's starting to work.
Are you sure it was him? Of course it was Michael.
He's angry about the lawsuit I filed.
Uh, no offense, Amanda, but Michael doesn't give a damn about a lawsuit.
He's mad because we both dumped him.
I thought Michael broke up with you.
Right, just like he's telling everybody he broke up with you.
Ah, sorry, I forgot to consider the source.
Michael tried to keep two women, and he lost them both.
And in his twisted ego system, that's sacrilege.
We may not be friends, Amanda, but we have a mutual enemy.
He's on the warpath, and we're his targets.
It doesn't make any sense, why would a doctor risk everything? Because he's not a good doctor.
I've covered for him.
So did Dr.
Burns and Levin and poor Jane.
Thank you.
We all get sucked into it.
It's it's kind of a sick charm or something.
Don't take it personally either, falling for Michael's act.
You're in very good company.
I've never been at a loss about how to handle a competitor.
Michael scares the daylights out of me.
The problem is we have no proof.
We have to get him before he gets us.
And we do that by Michael like to work one-on-one.
You and I need to stick together.
He'll hate that.
I'm all for doing anything that Michael hates.
I am so glad you said that.
I was afraid you'd think I'm the one who's crazy.
Absolutely not.
You are the victim here, Kimberly.
So am I.
Why don't I get us a table? You look like you need some air.
Jake survived.
No kidding.
He really took a hit.
I need the rest of my money.
Didn't you hear me, huh? Jake is still alive.
I don't owe you anything.
Not a good idea.
We had a deal.
You screwed up.
Like hell! You owe me! What are you going to do, call the police, huh? Get out of here.
We don't use the police to settle our business, but one way or another, it does get settled.
Careful, you're violating your own restraining order.
Like that matters to you.
I notified my attorney about your little stunt last night.
Sorry, last stunt I performed was caring about you.
I don't have time for your denial game, Michael.
Here's the estimate for the damage done to my Porsche.
You have one week to make restitution, or we call the judge.
What, everything that goes south in your life is my fault? I suppose you think I caused your cancer, too? You vandalized my car last night and stalked me in the parking lot.
I was on duty.
Check the roster Better yet, check the patient I was cutting open from 8:00 till midnight.
She survived, by the way.
I know it was you, Michael.
Yeah, yeah, jump on the blame Michael bandwagon.
I think it's being driven by Kimberly this week.
You're not gonna get away with this.
I refuse to let you terrorize me.
You know what, bright eyes, if you think I'm your only enemy, try counting your friends.
Oops, done already? Now, get out of my house before I take a restraining order out on you.
I'm very busy, Paul.
This will only take a minute.
The other day, you made it clear that you don't date married men.
What's your policy on men who are legally separated? S significantly more lenient.
You you filed for divorce? The papers are being served on Carol as we speak.
I don't know whether to feel bad that your marriage broke up or be hopeful that you and I might have a chance together.
Be selfish.
Be happy.
I am.
In that case congratulations.
Enough of the logistical nightmare.
I'm moving into a hotel, but I need some help moving my things out of my house.
How about it? Sure, just tell me when.
I'm on duty until 6:00.
I want to go home, pack a few things, and be out of there by 7:00.
Carol should be well into martinis by then and too numb to cause a scene.
I'll be there.
Oh, do me a favor? Wait for me outside, okay? No sense in rubbing it in.
No problem.
I understand.
Hi.
I've, uh I've only got a few minutes.
Sydney threatened to quit if I'm not back.
Oh, well, I just, um made myself dinner.
I mean, I wasn't expecting to see you.
Yeah, well it's kind of hard to stay away.
I miss you.
Oh, God, yeah.
Tell me about it.
I mean maybe we overreacted, you know? Maybe we got so emotional after Jake Oh got shot.
Oh, we're doomed, aren't we? I mean, we can't have a conversation without Are you saying our relationship is completely superficial and based only on sex? No not completely.
Just mostly.
What's your point? I don't know.
I don't have one.
I mean, Jake's going to be angry with us whether we're together or not.
Mmm.
I want to show you something.
Oh, there's a line I've never heard before.
Go on, open it up.
It's not worth much, but, uh it was my mother's, and I want you to have it.
Jess, this is beautiful.
I think she would've liked you, Jo.
I think I would've liked her.
Thank you.
This means a lot.
A lot.
Mmm.
Are you hungry? Yeah.
Mmm Oh Right on schedule.
Let the games begin.
Unh! Is he still out there? I don't know what he's doing.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have gone to his office.
I made him mad.
Paul, what if he's dangerous? He may be obsessed, Carol, but I don't think he's a threat.
Well, he just watches the house.
It's giving me the creeps.
Well, maybe we should call the police.
And tell them what? That a coworker is standing harmlessly next to his car? I'll handle this at work.
Matt's a good employee.
If I can convince him that he's somehow jeopardizing his career, maybe he'll back off.
I'm so sorry that I hurt you, Carol.
once, and I my husband My ex-husband, he's back again.
He's beating me.
God.
Can't you send someone over here? I need help now! Oh, my Michael! Stop! Oh, my God.
Kimberly.
Kimberly? Michael, you get your hands off of me! What are you talking about? I've been gone for 20 minutes! I Aah! What is wrong with you? I fell in love with you, that's what's wrong with me! Yeah, well, forget about it because you've gone completely wacko! Don't try to deny you did this to me because I've already called the police! You what? I called the police! You're a nutcase! Freeze! Police! Man, I'm glad you guys showed up.
She just demolished my house! Clasp your hands together on your head! He's trying to kill me.
We're getting a divorce.
I just came back to get some of my things.
You can't believe I would hurt her, I'm a doctor! I didn't even like touching her when we were married.
She set me up! Tell it to the judge.
I'm going to get you! I'm sorry I pushed you into dinner with my dad and his girlfriend.
I was afraid you'd sit here worrying about Alison.
I know she was an important part of your life.
Losing Alison isn't what hurt.
It's just that I like the idea of having someone in my life.
I like thinking about kids and happily ever after.
Mm-hmm.
There's comfort in commitment.
Yeah, it surprised me.
Found out I'm tired of running from relationship to relationship.
It must've been hard for you when Alison didn't share those feelings.
Well, maybe I expected too much.
Mmm.
Oh 2:00 a.
m.
It must be, uh Alison.
Take the call, Billy.
You have to resolve this sooner or later.
You're something, you know that? Mmm Hello.
Billy, hi.
Sorry to call so late.
With these crazy time zones, we keep missing each other.
So how you doing? Fine.
Fine.
Great, in fact.
This this this job is fantastic.
And Hong Kong is a real trip.
You'd love it.
Well, I'm glad you're getting settled.
Well, um to be honest, I'm having trouble in that area.
I left so much unfinished business in L.
A.
Us, for example.
Well, as far as we're concerned, I think you pretty much finished things in your note.
Oh.
So you did read it.
When I didn't hear from you, I thought Well, the reason I didn't call was because you gave me the option to cut off all communication.
Yes.
Yes, I did.
Okay, um I understand.
Take care of yourself, Billy.
You, too, Alison.
Goodbye.
What was that fiasco last night? I waited for an hour.
I know.
I saw you.
Carol saw you, too.
She was completely inconsolable.
Matt, I couldn't leave her.
Just be glad that you were outside.
Inside was certifiable hell.
I mean, this all happened so fast, I didn't even think how this would destroy life as she knows it.
You haven't changed your mind? God, no.
Believe me, there's nothing left of our marriage.
But I I do care about her and I need to be more understanding.
I know that it's a lot to ask but I hope that you can be more understanding, too.
Hi.
I came with a peace offering.
I had pizza and beer, but they confiscated it at the nurses' station.
That was a joke.
So's your coming here.
Did Jess send you? You know how much he cares about you? He's working 14-hour shifts.
Nobody asked him to.
That's the point.
Jake, he has nothing.
He has no job.
He has no apartment.
But he's trying to make your life better.
I mean, if he hated you so much, do you think he'd be working at shooters for nothing? Well, he's working for something.
Three night's ago, it nearly cost me my life.
You're impossible.
You still see the Jess you knew as a child.
You've never even known him as an adult.
He's concerned.
He's compassionate.
He's really got you snowed, hasn't he? The Jess you think you know is between the sheets.
Just proves that anyone who cares about Jess gets screwed one way or another.
You're jealous, aren't you? I am finally happy.
This isn't about you, it's about me about Jess trying to get even with me.
He wants you because he knows you're important to me.
He's at the bar because he knows that's the only thing I have.
I nearly get killed, he comes out looking like a hero.
That'swhat this is about.
Jess is finally getting the spotlight he thinks I stole from him.
You're wrong.
Things have changed.
Where'd you get this? Jess gave this to me last night.
That's mine.
I bought it for my mother for her birthday.
After she died, I looked for it for two days.
Frankly, I'm surprised the bastard didn't try to sell it.
Get out of here.
Take your damn peace offering with you.
Man: Quiet, please.
Court is now in session.
Oh, thank God, the cavalry's here.
Amanda knows Kimberly's a fruitcake.
She'll back me up.
Hey, Amanda, great to see you.
I'd shake your hand, but Listen, I wasn't sure if you got my message.
Oh, I got it.
I burned the tape.
Count your friends, Michael.
Oops, done already? I'm dead.
I'm dead.
Dr.
Mancini, you violated my restraining order, and you're now being charged with assault.
Your honor, Dr.
Mancini admits to violating the restraining order one time to advise Ms.
Woodward that he had received such an order.
As to the assault charge, he wasn't even home.
Your Honor, the defendant was home.
My client has the injuries to prove it.
It's all in the police report.
Oh, why didn't she kill me the first time? Do you have something to say, Dr.
Mancini? Yes, your Honor.
Only that I didn't do it.
I never touched Kimberly.
I haven't touched her for over a month, and technically, we're still married.
Your Honor, it's obvious this man has no respect for the court or my clients.
They're afraid of him.
We should all be afraid.
I agree.
Bail is set at $200,000.
Michael: What? Hey, there's no way I can come up with that kind of money! Hey, this is crazy! I didn't do anything! Finally Michael's getting what he deserves.
Oh Oh! Ohh ohh ohh! Ah ah ah! Yeah! She shoots, she scores! I thought we came here to cheer me up.
We did, we talked about the future, and how people need to find their soul mates and how to recognize those who aren't.
And how to stop analyzing everything and enjoy what life offers.
Right.
So stop trying to avoid inevitable defeat and play hockey.
All right, World Championship is on the line.
Winner of the next point takes all.
Well, since it is the championship, shouldn't something go to the victor? Well, I already owe you a week in Santa Barbara and skybox seats at the next Super Bowl and my heart, if you happen to need a transplant.
Well, what about the rest of you? If I win this game, we get married.
But you don't stand a chance.
Humor me.
All right, if you win, we get married.
Aah! Whoo! Whoo! Not only am I the air-hockey queen of the universe, but I own you, Campbell.
Don't worry, I won't hold you to it.
Hey, not so fast, queenie, all right? A bet's a bet.
You won me fair and square.
Billy, it was just a game.
Was it? Come on.
Billy, what's wrong? Nothing.
For the first time in my life, nothing is wrong.
I just spent the last three years trying to please somebody who couldn't be pleased.
I mean, I've forgotten what it's like to be happy.
You know how good it feels? Right now I do.
It's been a rough time for all of us You, me Alison.
No, don't bring her into this.
I am tired of Alison creeping into everything in my life.
All right? She is gone.
This is about us.
You have done so much.
You believe in me.
You have no idea what that means.
I mean, you care about what I want.
You know, when things got rough for a while, you kept trying.
You didn't run away.
That's 'cause I want to be with you.
I know, and I want to be with you, too.
Yeah.
I don't want to lose you, Brooke.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
So no joke will you marry me? Yes.
I'd love to be your wife, Billy Campbell.
Ahh! Hello, Kimberly.
Don't be afraid.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! Aah! Aah! Kimberly! Don't run away.
Go away.
Go away.
You know I can't leave, Kimberly.
I'm a part of you.
I'm inside you.
I am you.
And we have so much work to do together.
No.
I'm not crazy.
I'm not crazy.
I'm fine.
I'm not I am not crazy.
I'm not crazy.
Oh, my God.
No.
No.
No.
No
