Did you call an ambulance? No, just you.
Is he dead? No, not yet.
No, no, Peter-- You-- you can't bring the police into this.
That son of a bitch attacked you, didn't he? Amanda, if this is self-defense, you don't have to worry.
No, uh-- There are things you don't know.
I, I could go to jail or worse.
There's got to be another way.
Please, please believe me.
Okay, no cops.
But he's got to get to a hospital or he's going to die.
[dialing.]
[ringing.]
This is Dr.
Peter Burns.
I need an ambulance at I have an unconscious adult male with multiple fractures and possible internal bleeding.
Thank you.
Go home.
Don't do anything until I come by tomorrow.
No calls.
Don't contact anyone until we get our stories straight.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna have him admitted under my care.
A household accident.
I'll try to keep everyone away until we decide what to do next.
Peter-- Amanda.
You're gonna have to trust me on this.
Now, do as I tell you and go home.
Thank you.
[laughing.]
[Jo.]
I think you're being too hard on yourself.
You look, you know natural, and and sexy in some of these.
Oh, right, the Fabio of fashion.
I am Ricardo, designer of clothes.
[laughing.]
Ravager of women.
[knocking.]
Hey, there.
C'mon in, Jake.
Look at Richard's new line.
Hey, Jake.
She really hit a home run with this shoot.
That's great.
I, um just wanted to say good night.
I hadn't seen you in a couple of days.
Oh, well, here, why don't you try something on.
They just designed this sexy jacket, it would look so good on you.
I don't want to-- No, it'd really be a good cut on you, Jake.
No, thanks, I'm beat.
C'mon, Jake.
I said no.
Good night.
Must've been a tough day.
Yeah.
Well, it's time for me to get on home.
Um You did really well, Jo.
And I couldn't be happier.
Thanks.
Good night.
Good night, Ricardo.
[Kimberly.]
Peter.
I'll put the coffee on.
Coming up on K-CHAT at 7 AM, it's Dr.
Joyce Brothers eliciting your views on life, love and romance.
Today Dr.
Brothers will want your input on the subject of the dreaded seven-year itch and how to keep your spouse from scratching it.
But first, here's Don with the morning traffic.
[traffic report.]
Oh, God.
Oh, God, he's real.
[mouthing.]
Real.
Of course he is.
Of course he's real.
Hah.
Call me as soon as there are any changes.
All right.
What are you doing here? I couldn't stand the waiting.
How is he? He's still breathing.
Now listen to me, Amanda, I am up to my ass in alligators in this thing.
If another doctor examines him, they're gonna find injuries inconsistent with a simple fall.
Neither one of us can afford to screw up, so from now on, do as you're told, understood? Mmhm.
Good.
He's in serious condition.
He's stabilizing.
The next 24 hours are gonna determine a lot.
Now convince me that I've done the right thing here.
Tell me what's happened.
After Jack and I got married he started beating me.
He said it wouldn't happen again, but it did.
It kept happening again and again, and again.
And I tried to leave but he's got very dangerous and powerful family and friends.
And they wouldn't allow me to go.
And there were threats.
So, with my dad's help I, um I faked my own death.
Don't you see, Peter? There's an insurance payoff involved.
That's fraud.
So, even if I'm cleared in court, his people will make sure I pay for what I did.
Please tell me you understand.
Ms.
Parezi.
What happened to Jack? The neighbor told me there was some kind of an accident.
Mr.
Diamond.
Uh, Dr.
Burns, this is Jack's attorney.
Mr.
Diamond.
Yeah, so what happened, Doctor? Something about a fall? Yes, I found him last night.
I went by to talk to him about a business investment we had discussed at a party.
There was no answer.
The door was open so, uh Anyway, he was lying there, unconscious.
He obviously fell from the upstairs landing.
There's bleeding on the brain, and only time will tell how critical it is.
I see.
How awful.
What a stroke of luck that you were there last night, Doctor.
Absolutely.
Otherwise, he definitely would have died.
Of course.
Well, you'll keep me informed.
And Ms.
Parezi, I'm very sorry that you have to go through all of this.
Thank you, Mr.
Diamond.
God, Peter! What happens when Jack wakes up? They'll know you lied, and he'll tell half-truths and turn it all against-- Shh-shh-shh-shh.
We'll worry about that if the time comes.
I wasn't lying about his injuries, Amanda.
They're very serious.
Now, with any luck-- he may never wake up.
That was a lovely dinner, daddy.
Mm, great.
Thank you.
Sweetheart, you barely touched it.
Are you feeling all right? Oh, I'm fine, I just, um Not much of an appetite tonight.
Uh-- Alison and I wanted to get together with the two of you tonight in order to clear the air regarding us.
You see-- we've fallen in love.
And we thought it best if it was out in the open.
Between the four of us.
Daddy, I can't believe you.
Brooke, I want you to understand that neither one of us wanted to hurt either one of you.
This just happened.
Billy, I hope that you won't turn away from us because we've found the happiness you've found with Brooke.
I couldn't bear to lose your friendship.
Of course not.
[clearing throat.]
Well, now that true confessions are over with.
It's late.
Congratulations, to both of you.
I hope that you are very happy.
Alison.
Good night, Daddy.
Hayley.
Alison.
Be happy.
Well.
That's over with.
They took it rather well, considering.
You okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't want to hurt him like that.
I'm sorry, sometimes I forget just how hard this has been on you.
Alison.
I promise you-- we haven't lost them.
I will do whatever it takes to keep them in our lives.
I know you will.
Come here.
[sighing.]
You are the most wonderful woman I've ever known in my life.
And I've never been so in love with you as I am now.
You okay? Honey? Yeah, I'm fine.
Mmm.
[grunting.]
Hearing them say it out loud wasn't easy, was it? Well, life goes on.
All that really matters is-- you and me.
Who made you so sweet? I have the most wonderful husband in the world.
You better put in your diaphragm.
Ahhh.
All right, let me just mark my spot.
Mmm-- I'll be right back.
[humming.]
[breathing deeply.]
Now Where was I, Mr.
Campbell? Oh, let's see Now I remember.
You care, don't you, darling? But you're worried.
I can see it in your face.
"He's gonna turn me in," you're thinking.
You sick bastard, you attackedme! And who's gonna believe that? Look at me.
Now look in the mirror.
Don't worry, I won't tell.
How could I do that to my loving wife? Now-- you'll never leave me again.
You can't, Amanda.
I'd have to kill you.
I'd just have to kill [door opening.]
Amanda.
I-- I told you to meet me in the cafeteria-- What is it? What's the matter, what happened? He woke up.
Taunted me about turning him in, and, and and he said he'd kill me if I ever left him again.
Shh, hey, hey.
I'm not gonna let that happen, I promise you.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Come on, let's go.
Nurse, let me see the chart on the patient in room 414.
Thank you.
Hmm.
Really? Happened so fast, but it feels so right.
Sounds like love.
Well, it didn't start out that way.
It started out as, as an act.
We were trying to drive a wedge between Billy and Brooke, and then, suddenly, it just changed.
Jane, Hayley makes me feel very very special, very-- loved and protected.
Well, then go for it.
And don't let anyone tell you it's wrong when it feels so right.
Aw, thanks.
How are you and Richard doing? Oh, not so good.
He called off our engagement.
What? What happened? Jo stuck her nose in where it didn't belong.
She told him that I didn't really love him.
And he believed her over you? Yeah, well, I admitted as much to him.
I mean, it's the truth-- I mean, I-- I know that I can learn to love him in time.
Oh, God.
What am I doing? I'm sitting here telling you how I feel, when that's how I got into trouble in the first place! Don't worry, I won't breathe a word.
How can I, when I don't understand a bit of it? [laughing.]
It's simple, I just-- I know this relationship is good for me.
I just gotta figure out a way to win him back.
I'm not taking this off until I do.
Fine.
Just be careful what you wish for, Janie.
[knocking.]
[sighing.]
Hi.
Hey, come in.
Thought I'd just stop by on my way to work.
The other night was kind of strange.
You seemed a little pissed.
I wasn't pissed.
The two of you just seemed to be having a good enough time on your own.
Oh, come on, Jake.
You're not, like, jealous? Hey, call it what you want, But you have been spending a whole lot more time with him than you have with me.
Excuse me? What is this double standard here? I mean, I saw Shel in her butt-floss bikini saunter on into your apartment for coffee yesterday.
I felt a stab of jealousy, but I just kept it to myself.
Yeah, well, we're way out of sync here.
And something needs to be done about it.
I miss you.
[sighing.]
I miss you, too.
But you know, it's just-- for the first time since I've been in LA, my career is finally on a roll.
I don't want to jeopardize that.
The last thing I'd do is stand in the way of anything you want, you know that.
I do, I know that.
I almost came down to your apartment.
Why didn't you? Same old stubbornness.
Well, that's something we're gonna have to work on.
Both of us.
Just a couple of mules, that's what we are.
Hi, there.
[Jake.]
Hey.
Well, hello, Jo.
Uh, the printer's still outside.
Could you get it for me? Yeah, sure.
We'll talk.
Okay.
Finally convinced him to enter into the nineties.
Put all his accounting and his payroll into one computer.
Of course, I still have to teach him how to use it.
Do you know anything about computers, Jo? Just that they're good for playing games with.
Don't strangle yourself on all those cords, Shelly.
Yeah, and order an MRI on Mr.
Parezi's knee injury.
As soon as he's stabilized.
Good, thank you.
What the hell do you think you're doing? Well, I'm ordering some tests for my new patient.
This patient was admitted under my care.
Oh, yeah, so I noticed.
But I was retained by Mr.
Diamond, Mr.
Parezi's lawyer.
He just seems to think you might have overlooked a thing or two.
And where would he have gotten that idea? Oh, Peter, Peter-- you know, you and I have to look out for each other.
If one of us screws up, the other has to backstop him.
And I-- I think you really missed a couple of things in this diagnosis.
So you called him and suggested you do a follow-up? Yeah, well, I'm just looking out for my partner.
Let me be very clear.
Stay away from this, Mancini.
Hey, someone put a world of hurt in that guy, and my guess is that it was you.
Now, what did he do, Doc? Take your money at the golf course? Insult your manhood? Heh.
Or maybe you just couldn't stand the idea of him getting back into Amanda's pants.
What are you gonna do? Break my knees? I'm warning you, Michael keep your mouth shut about Jack's injuries.
[radio.]
Hello, we're back.
This is Dr.
Joyce Brothers, and I'm talking to Kimberly, a young woman who's been having quite a struggle lately.
Are you still with us, Kim? Uh, yes I am, Dr.
Brothers.
We were discussing coming to terms with your illness over the past year.
Yes, well, I have done battle with a number of demons in my life lately.
There was a time they manifested themselves in a person I kept seeing.
Someone who represented all of my fears.
Who was a part of me, but separate.
But I managed to cut him out of my life.
And, has the therapy you've been involved with helped you understand these internal conflicts? Can't believe she's doing this again.
Absolutely.
First of all, I've realized that the real demon in my life is my husband, Michael Mancini.
Please, Kim, first names only.
But I'd like to hear more about your husband.
Dr.
Brothers, this man is one notch below the Antichrist.
I mean, first he nearly killed me in a drunken car accident.
And then, after I forgave him, he went out and cheated on me.
I gave him nothing but love, and he did nothing but abuse me.
I am not gonna stand for this crap.
you and Michael still married? Well, legally, yes, but we are definitely separated.
Well, that may well have been the most healthy move.
But now we have some callers on-line to talk to you and give their thoughts.
First names only, please.
You're on the air.
Yeah, this is, uh, Fred.
You know, this babe sounds like a certifiable nutcase.
Someone oughta seal her up in a lead vault somewhere and post warning signs for future generations.
Comments like that really aren't very helpful, Fred.
And they reveal more about you than you might like to think.
Excuse me, Dr.
Brothers, but if I'm not mistaken, this is my loving husband on the line.
Yeah, that's right.
Now listen, you zipperheaded mutant, you tried to kill me twice.
Then you blew up an entire building because your imaginary playmate told you naughty people lived in there.
Michael, why are you trying to torture me? I'm just trying to survive.
I'm trying to find a place where I belong.
Fred, I'm going to put you on hold.
And someone will give you a list of therapists.
I think you may want to set up an appointment, and work out some of this anger.
Well, yeah, well Hey! Hey! You can't hang up on me! Hey, you-- Let's hear from some other callers.
You're on the air at K-Chat.
It was a beautiful funeral.
Well That's over with.
It was a very nice service.
He, uh.
he would've appreciated it.
[chuckling.]
He would've hated it.
[both laughing.]
Your father did not care for ceremonies.
Weddings, funerals mm-mmm The only one he ever really enjoyed was your graduation.
I'm so glad he found out about you going back to medical school bef-- Mom Oh, Matt what am I going to do without him? I've loved him for 35 years, and now there's nothing there.
Just horrible silence.
I know.
Time is gonna help a lot.
But you still have the rest of your life to live.
You can't just shut down because he's gone.
And I won't let you get lonely.
I promised him that.
Amanda? Peter called said you might be coming by.
Hm.
Peter's been a bad boy.
Falsifying medical reports is a major no-no.
Sometimes it has to be done for a good enough reason.
I thought you'd be the first to want to nail his butt to a wall.
I mean, that is your husband in the hospital, lying half-dead.
No, Michael this is my husband.
This is what he did to me.
So, how much do you want? What will your silence cost me? You were the one who nailed Jack.
Give the man a cigar.
So Peter is Someone who cares.
That's all.
And this is why you left your husband.
Actually, those were taken a year before I left.
It took me two broken ribs and a punctured lung before I really made up my mind.
And the other night, he tried to make up for lost time.
I fought back, and he got hurt.
So how much money do you want? I, um, I don't have much left to give, I'm afraid.
No.
Amanda, I don't want your money.
I thought, um well, I I had a different idea about what was going on.
I may not be the best of men, but there was a time when I loved you with everything I had.
And I never want to see you hurt.
What will you tell Jack's lawyer? That I was hasty in my recommendation.
That the wounds are consistent with a fall.
You'll lie.
I'll lie for you.
Good night, Amanda.
Wake up, sleepy.
Oh Nice room service.
Cute waiter.
Sleep well? Mmm once we got to sleep.
My Alison do you love me as much as I love you? Yeah, I do.
I want you to spend more time with me.
A lot more.
I'd like that.
Good.
One thing's for sure, though, you're never gonna see me move into your place.
[both laughing.]
So why don't you move in here with me? If you prefer, just for a couple weeks, but, for as long as you like.
Hayley this is moving very fast.
Yeah.
Is that a problem? Give me a little time to think about it, okay? Okay.
But not too long.
[sharpening.]
Look who's here.
America's favorite homicidal maniac.
Park it, Sydney.
Is Peter here? No, he's not.
Have you tried Amanda's? I hear they've been spending a lot of time together lately.
Oh, but you can't go there, can you? Your little Mickey Mouse watch will start screaming.
How do you ever find things to accessorize with that, anyway? I don't believe you.
Why would Peter be with Amanda? She tried to have his medical license.
Maybe she decided to have the doctor instead.
Why the concern? You didn't think that Peter was interested in you, did you? Oh.
Oh, you poor, deluded psycho.
Don't you know? Your saintly Peter is just using you to work out his own little problems.
What are you talking about? Hasn't he told you about his sister? Oops.
I see that he hasn't.
Ask him sometime.
I think that he's just working out his guilt over her death by trying to help you.
By the way, how is electroshock going? Certainly has put an attractive curl in your hair.
You're a lying little bitch.
Ahhh there you are.
We missed you at the 5:00 concept meeting.
Yeah.
I had to get-- get home and pack.
Are you going on a trip? No.
I'm moving in with your father.
Brooke-- we love each other very much.
He also loves you very much.
Please don't shut him out of your life because of me.
Break his heart.
Billy.
Good night.
Billy-- she's moving into my house.
My house! It's your father's house, Brooke.
Michael may have suddenly developed a conscience, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.
He's already got Jack's attorney suspicious.
You never know when he may decide to turn on us again.
So until Jack's condition changes, we just have to hold tight.
Any more good news to report? Just that I won't desert you.
I promise.
Thank you, Peter.
I don't know what I would've done without you.
Amanda, I have a lot to make up for.
I want you to know how sorry I am-- Shh, shh.
I am so tired of reliving the past.
I'm just grateful that you were there for me.
[Kimberly.]
Peter! I know you're up there! Oh, no.
Hmm? [door opening.]
Kimberly.
What the hell are you doing? How could you do this to me? You lied to me about Amanda and about your sister.
Do you realize what you've done? Huh? Look at this.
You've gone out of range, damn it! They can put you back inside for this.
Doesn't matter anymore, I don't care.
You were the last person on Earth I trusted, and you lied to me.
Hold it right there.
Officer, let me explain.
My name is Dr.
Peter Burns, this woman is under my care.
Is this Kimberly Shaw? Yes, it is-- if you'd let me explain-- Explain it to the court.
She's in violation of parole.
She's going downtown with us.
You lied to me.
You lied to me.
I'll-- I'll follow you.
Officer, please, she's in a very fragile state.
I'm sorry.
You betrayed me.
Said you cared about me.
And all this time you were thinking about that woman.
Please I can't keep going over this.
Now, we're both exhausted.
I spent all night trying to find a judge who'd believe my story.
He could've thrown you back in jail.
Now, why don't we just-- talk at our session later this afternoon.
No! No! No more of your therapy, Peter.
It's all lies.
I'm sorry-- I'm sorry, maybe I put more trust in you than I should have, but you were all I had.
And now you've turned on me like everyone else.
You don't love me.
You don't want to make love to me.
You don't even want to be honest with me! All you're trying to do is work out your own screwed-up guilt over your sister.
How do you know about my-- Sydney.
So it is true.
Just when I thought I had found some sanity, some security.
Just when I thought it was returning to my life, I find all that all the foundations you helped me build are made of sand.
All you did was use me to work out your own screwed-up problems! No, Kimberly.
Don't let Sydney's twisted attempts at trying to hurt you erase all the progress that you've made.
I loved my sister.
She was my friend.
She was my foundation.
They-- [coughing.]
They let her rot in some hellhole.
Because an incompetent with a medical degree decided that she was beyond hope.
That's why I became a doctor.
Because I swore I would never let what happened to her happen to anyone I cared about ever again.
And I do care about you, Kimberly.
Don't lose faith in that, or yourself.
Please leave me alone.
Kimberly-- Look, I can't leave or I would! So would you please just leave me alone? For now? Please.
I'll call you later.
Hi, big guy.
Hey.
You and I have a date with some hot dogs, a couple of beers, and tickets to the Rose Bowl.
Well, with an invitation like that, how can I say no? You can't; and it's not an invitation.
It's a kidnapping.
I'll come peacefully.
Let me just go tell Shelly.
Hey there! Are you ready for your computer lesson? Uh, not really-- I'm taking the afternoon off.
Problems? Nope.
Just making up for some lost time with my girlfriend.
I see.
Well If you want to be computer illiterate all your life Nothing would make me happier.
Hold down the fort, I'll see you by dinnertime.
[door closing.]
[TV: cars racing.]
Kimberly.
Ooh.
You son of a-- No! Son of a bitch! Ooh! Ah! Don't hurt me anymore! Please! Please! Ow! All right, pal, who are you? They paid me to do it! It wasn't my idea! Who, Michael and Sydney? Yes! Please Please just don't hurt me anymore.
Hurt you? I could kiss you! [laughing.]
Could I please just-- leave? Aah, be my guest.
And by the way-- Yeah? You're fired.
[laughing.]
I'm free.
I'm free! I'm free! I'm really free! [laughing.]
I'm free! Anything? No.
He's still in serious condition.
He's drifting in and out of consciousness.
And when he is awake, he doesn't remember anything about how he was injured.
Just asks for his wife, says he has to talk to her, and then he drifts out again.
What am I gonna do? Well, the first thing you have to do is go home and get some sleep.
You're gonna have to be sharp if and when he does gets better.
Peter, I-- [intercom.]
Code Blue, Code Blue.
Dr.
Burns to room 414.
Jack.
[overlapping chatter.]
[nurse.]
He just suddenly went into full arrest.
Okay, get the paddles ready! Charging! [overlapping chatter.]
All right, charged.
All right, clear! No response.
Clear! Still nothing! [nurse.]
Doctor, he's not breathing on his own.
Get him on a respirator.
Clear! [overlapping chatter.]
We got a pulse! [overlapping chatter.]
[Peter.]
Okay, we got him back.
We saved him.
[overlapping chatter.]
