Melrose Place s04e10 Episode Script

Code blue, code blue, room 414.
Well, we'd better hurry, hadn't we? Wasn't enough that you pushed him over that balcony.
You had to go and pull out his breathing doo-hickey.
Full code blue.
I need a crash cart, stat! All right, v-fib, let's shock him.
Paddles.
All right, pull that shirt down, nurse.
All right, everybody clear! [beep.]
Flatline.
His pupils are blown.
All right, we'll have to recharge at 400.
Clear! He's dead.
For good, this time.
Are you talking to me? 'Cause I'm talking to you Are you looking at me? 'Cause I'm looking at you Are you talking to me? 'Cause I'm talking to you Yeah, my game to lose I must admit I've checked you out And yes you're fine, there ain't no doubt [door slams.]
Where the hell have you been? You know, when I found this, I swear to you My God, what did you do to yourself? Kind of like when a trapped animal gnaws off its foot.
And don't worry it set beautifully.
You realize I could've called the police.
So, now you know what it's like to be a prisoner in this place, always left waiting.
Anyway, I figured you'd be at the hospital all night with your darling Amanda, up to whatever it is you two are up to.
This isn't about me.
You're under court order.
Well, what am I supposed to do if my court-appointed physician is never here? You gave me no choice but to continue my therapy myself.
And if you're interested it's going great.
Just swimmingly.
In fact, I've already got a job.
Or at least, a shot at a job.
I've been filling in at K-CHAT as a call-in host.
A radio show? Peter, I spent the last four hours on the air, and I feel absolutely wonderful enervated, empowered.
Well, I don't give a damn because you're gonna quit.
If somebody were to find out about that, we would both be in serious trouble.
[phone rings.]
Oh, lets see.
Who could that be? Burns.
Peterit's Amanda.
I'm at the hospital.
He's dead.
Jack's dead.
Michael just took the body away.
I don't know what to do.
Stay where you are and don't talk to anyone.
I'm on my way.
"Don't talk to anyone.
" Is that the prescription for all the women in your life? You're to stay put.
You understand? If you leave again, I call the police.
And I mean it.
Ahem.
I just signed the death certificate.
Jack's remains are on their way downstairs.
You know, an autopsy will be required.
An autopsy? Yes.
To put it off would invite suspicion.
However, I made sure Jack's lawyers won't be notified immediately.
So that buys us some time.
Now, from what I could tell someone tampered with his breathing apparatus.
And he was moved.
And, you know, guys in comas don't usually move much.
In fact, they don't move at all.
So you want to tell me what the heck you did to him in there? Come on, Amanda, if there was any hanky panky, I want to know about it.
I am not talking to you about this, Michael.
Nothing happened, so go away.
We'll talk later, Mancini.
Hey, you.
What are you doing here? And what do you know about all this? Everything, Michael.
I know everything.
Go ahead.
What happened? Jack woke up he had this strength that was super human.
AndI thought, he's going to kill me.
And then he-- he-- he just went limp.
He collapsed.
And I turned around, and there was Sydney.
Amanda.
No, ha ha.
No--no--no.
I won't fall apart.
There was only one person in this world that really scared me.
And that was Jack.
I'm free of him, Peter.
For the first time in years I'm free.
Looks like someone tied one on last night.
Any particular reason? Nosy neighbors.
This is it.
"Congratulations, you've been accepted.
" I'm--I'm in, Jake.
I'm in.
Hey, whoa--whoa, big guyinto what? I--I--I passed the exam.
I've been re-admitted to medical school.
Great, that's great.
Congratulations.
Hey, just make sure that you have the party at Shooters.
Hey, neighbor.
Where's Shelly? Now that you two did the big nasty, I assumed you two would be inseparable, you know, tight as ticks, two peas in a pod.
Well, I assumed you'd be off to paradise with "Mr.
Fashion.
" Oh, so you boink old Shelly to get even? Jo, come on.
Oh, It wasn't just a boink? Well, I'm glad to hear it.
True love finds Jake at last.
Damn it, what'd you expect me to do? Listen, I never was going anywhere alone with Richard.
The minute that I found out Jane wasn't going, I canceled my trip.
I'd blown him off to be with you.
Only when I found you, it wasn't just you, was it? Yeah, well, whatever you decided about Hawaii I bet you still got the hots for him.
Well, you sure bet a lot, didn't you? The whole farm.
Well, it looks like I'm a winner.
That bag means you're headed to the airport.
That's none of your business.
You're going to sleep with Richard.
Or is it "Dick" now? You really are a bastard.
Aloha! That's Hawaiian for "hello.
" And "goodbye"! Hi.
Hi.
How are you this fine bright day? I'm still waiting for that pinch to remind me it's all a dream.
I'm glad you're happy.
Are you? More than I ever thought possible.
Why do you look sad? Is our trial living together period over? What happens now? Do I turn into a pumpkin? Actually, I thought that, uh we might just move into phase two, and get married.
Hayley my God.
[phone ringing.]
Damn it.
That's Paris.
Hello? Yeah, Jean-Claude, yeah.
Yes, I got your prospectus, and I just have a few suggestions.
It's just an idea.
I don't want to rush you.
Just think about it, okay? Yeah--yeah.
Yeah, I'm still here.
This attorney is going to flip.
When are the autopsy results expected? Another day, thanks to lab back-ups.
Look, Peter, for better or worse, I'm in on this with you.
We both have Amanda's best interests at heart.
Well, that's a new concept.
Partners actually working together.
[knock on door.]
Uh, delivery for Doctors Burns and Manchini.
Ahem, "Mancini.
" Just leave them.
No--no--no.
Wait.
Wait a second.
I recognize that handwriting.
I'll take them.
"Dear Doctor [both.]
"You are cordially invited to dinner-- dinner at Yeeto's, 8 p.
m.
Don't be late.
" Mine was on my doorstep.
So, this is it.
Sydney drops her bombs.
Jake? How's it going? Couldn't be worse.
Is Jo around? I really need to talk to her.
Well, it'll cost you a plane ticket to Hawaii or at least a long distance phone call.
Work? If you call banging the boss "work.
" You're kidding? Richard? I'll spare us both the gory details.
God! I can't believe the stuff I've missed since I moved out of the building.
Lies, deceit, everybody in everybody else's business speaking of which what's new with Hayley? You can't be looking for Jo to talk about the weather.
It's a major secret.
You have to swear not to tell a soul.
Hayley proposed.
He asked me to marry him.
Jake! I'm sorry, but if you say "yes"-- I know.
I'll be Brooke's stepmother.
Yeah, and Billy's mother-in-law.
Did you say "yes"? Not yet.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Hayley is incredible.
And I-I can really see marrying him but something's bothering me.
It's the way he proposed.
It just-- it wasn't romantic.
When Billy asked me, he was so sweet.
I was really touched.
Well, what have you had? A couple of months with Hayley? What is that, compared to years with Billy? If you ask me, you've got to get past Billy or it'll never work with Hayley.
But can you ever really get past an old love affair? You can put it into perspective.
If I were you, I would find some way to test my feelings for Billy.
At least talk to him.
I know for a fact he's working late tonight.
There you go.
An opportunity.
Well-- what a surprise.
Thought I was the only one around here who burned the midnight oil.
Well, I got a little behind.
Friar Brothers Wineries are flying me up to Santa Barbara tomorrow.
One of those small plane charters.
In and out the same day.
What do you think? I think the friars will swoon.
Easy sell, those guys.
That's right, they used to be your account.
Yeah, great assignment during my drinking days.
Wine-tasting till it was coming out of my ears.
Well, luckily for me, Brooke will be coming along to keep me on an even keel.
Something on your mind? Yes, actually.
I need to talk to you, Billy.
I have this-- this news.
It's actually pretty mind-blowing.
Alison? What are you doing here? I work here, remember? Good luck with the friars, Billy.
You, too, Brooke.
What's her problem? Well, she never got around to say.
Maybe-- just maybe, it's trouble with Daddy.
Now wouldn't that be wonderful? I thought you got over all that, Brooke.
Oh, you're right.
All that matters now is our little secret.
It's growing inside me.
Can you tell I'm pregnant? Definitely.
Mmm.
And just you is all that matters.
This is ridiculous.
I'm not going to just sit here.
Hold your horses, Amanda! Your hostess has arrived.
Don't you love this place? The whole cultural experience.
Although the hair took a little longer than I expected.
What do you think? It's lovely.
Very authentic.
Thank you.
Cards on the rice mat, Sydney.
What do you want? If you insist.
First, let's review what I have.
That would be you, Amanda, and you, Peter, on tape, admitting your total involvement in Jack's accident and ultimate demise.
Whacking away with that golf club-- shame on you.
I'm not gonna listen to this.
Sit down, Amanda.
You're are the one in the most trouble here.
I saw you in that hospital room with Jack's air hose hanging out.
You murdered him in cold blood! He attacked me! He would have killed me.
Details, details Damn it, just tell us what you want.
Very simple.
From Amanda, I want 50% of what she inherits from Jack.
Well, the divorce never went through, did it? So you're gonna get it all, the whole ball of wax? I'm assuming we're into a 7-figure area here, am I right? That's all? Don't think you're getting off so easy, Peter.
I'm counting on you to explain the sense of this to Amanda.
Tough blow on her ego, divvying up all that cash, but you'll make her see the wisdom in it or lose your medical license.
Your choice.
Which brings you to me.
Oh, Michael-- always getting yourself into these jams.
You'll be thrilled to know I have no demands.
No demands? I learned it from you.
With folks you care about most, charity is the best policy.
That's it.
I'm leaving.
Let's go, Peter.
I'll need a cashier's check.
Good night.
Drive carefully.
[door slams.]
Wouldn't want anything to happen to them.
You must want something from me.
Tell you what.
You can pick up the tab for dinner.
Now, what to order? I hear the sashimi here is a bona fide aphrodisiac.
Really? Well why be tempted? Why not be tempted? Shall I order some? Sure.
A little sashimi.
Okay.
And a gallon of sake to wash it down with.
Pardon? Nothing.
[knock knock knock.]
You okay in there? No, I'm not okay! Okay? Never been so sick in my life.
Oh, what is happening to me? I feel like I'm dying.
It's just a little morning sickness.
This is not little.
This is big morning sickness.
I've heard that some women go through the whole nine months like this, sick, throwing up Where's my glow now, I wonder? Oh, you're all ready to go.
Good.
Did you call the office and tell them that I can't go on the trip? They're sending over the lay-outs, and then I'm gonna head right to the airport.
Well-- you look great, anyway.
Quite dashing, actually.
God, how do you put up with me? [knock knock.]
Alison? Oh, you brought the layouts.
Better than that, I'm going along.
What? That's ridiculous.
Billy is quite capable of handling this himself.
Well, the boys upstairs wanted a bigger show.
Strength in numbers, and all that.
You ready? Sure.
Take it easy today, all right? I'll be back by dinnertime.
Hope you feel better, Brooke.
Three drops of cream, just like you like it.
Thank you.
What's wrong, Michael? You look a little pale.
Rough surgery this morning? Well, I, um-- I just, um-- ahem.
I guess I keep waiting for your blackmail demands.
Don't worry, Michael.
There are none.
I meant what I said.
Okay.
Then, uh, I guess I'll be in my office.
Oh, by the way.
Yes? Matt's throwing himself a little party tonight at Shooters.
He got back into medical school.
Did you know? Until this second, no.
That's good for Matt.
You'll take me, won't you? To the party? Of course.
I'm looking forward to tonight.
Call for you, Mr.
Hart.
Thank you.
Hello? Hi.
It's Jo.
How are you doing? Uh, bored actually.
Lonely.
Can't beat the weather, though.
So, have you found your locations yet? I'm still working on it.
Look, um, Jo I'm sorry about the way things went down sending Jane off like that.
The truth is, is that you have every right to be pissed.
I wanted to be alone with you and it was wrong of me to assume that's what you wanted too.
I miss you.
[sigh.]
Guess that's what I needed to hear.
You'll come to Hawaii? Actually, I'm already here.
Right across the pool.
You nut! Hey! God! It took me all morning to get the nerve to call you.
I mean, I left on horrible terms with Jake.
It's over.
It's really, really over.
And I just-- I was afraid to fall into some rebound with you and I-- Does this make any sense? Oh, it makes all the sense in the world, yeah.
So, we'll just work.
Yeah, we'll just work.
I mean, we're gonna have to eat occasionally.
You know, we'll cool off in the pool and Did I tell you they have a wonderful spa here? That guy, Diamond, Jack's attorney? I think he's onto us-- or he says he's onto us.
He doesn't have proof.
Now we know Sydney hasn't said anything.
My first instinct was to run again, but I won't.
I'm ready to stand and fight.
Only two problems left.
How do we get a lawyer out of your life, and Kimberly out of mine? Does it sound too corny to say that-- together, we can pretty much handle anything.
It might but not to me.
[Jake.]
I kind of like this one too.
Hey, Matt.
Heard the good news.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Can you believe this place? Well, I can't believe my ears.
Hey, how was New York? Oh, about as I expected.
So, Jo and Richard are in Hawaii.
I guess that puts us in the same boat.
Only if you don't give a damn about Richard, 'cause that's how I feel about Jo.
Will you guys excuse me a second? Sure.
Sorry.
Let me get you a beer.
Conexcuse me-- Congratulations, man! Well done.
Thanks, Michael.
Just squeezed by on that test, didn't you? Yeah, I mean, as a matter of fact-- How did you know that? Ah, a little before and after look.
See.
Here's what you really got on the test, and here's what you got after I changed the score.
[laughing.]
No matter how big and successful I get, I'll always make time for my friends.
You can't do this.
Oh, yeah.
It was really easy, actually.
A couple of quick keystrokes.
Presto change-o.
No, I won't allow it.
I'll go to the school and I'll turn myself in.
Oh, stop it! Matt, I only did it because you were so damn close.
You know these things are graded on a curve.
You would have passed last year easily.
You want something from me.
You're trying to get me under your thumb.
No, if anything, I'm paying you back.
You once changed a few numbers for me, remember? Now look, the truth is, you do have compassion.
You do have understanding.
You'll make a great doctor.
Now, it'll be our little secret.
What's the problem? [telephone ringing.]
Hello.
Richard, hi.
It's me, Jane.
Hi.
How was New York? A nice diversion, which is how it was intended, right? I shouldn't have said that.
Look, I know how hard it is for you to believe anything I say anymore.
It's just that I've-- I've had some time to do some thinking, and we really had something wonderful, Richard.
It's just that we got off track and I'm responsible.
You know, I made a lot of assumptions, not considering your feelings.
I guess I'm wondering, is it too late? Richard? Uh I don't know, Jane, it's kind of hard to have this conversation right now on the phone.
Okay, well we'll talk when you get back.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll talk when I get back.
Thanks for calling, Jane.
Good night.
I've been thinking, Richard.
I'm through taking things slowly.
My God, Daddy, Mom's things.
What are you doing? Well, I have it all stored for you for when you have a big enough place, but right now, I gotta get it out of here and move on with my life.
This is Alison's idea, right? Wipe out any trace? You're replacing my mother.
Can't you just admit it? No, I'm not replacing anyone.
I love Alison.
But you loved Mommy, too.
Brooke, things change.
Your mother's dead.
I'm moving on.
There's a call, sir.
They say it's an emergency.
Hello? Yeah, this is he.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
Yeah, please do.
Thank you very much.
Billy and Alison's plane it's missing.
If we could just get word out Would you look at this place? I bet it's beautiful in the daylight.
Hey, did you ever see that movie, The Misfits, with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe? There was this incredible scene in a dry lake bed just like this.
Great-- we almost lose our lives in a plane crash, and you're talking movies.
I used to love old movies.
It's no use.
The whole electrical system is out.
Now, look, it's about a six-hour hike out of here, and there's no reason for everyone to make the trip.
You guys stay here.
You've got plenty of supplies.
I'll be back in the morning with help.
Alex.
Yeah.
Are--are there any wild animals around here? Just a few marmots, maybe, but they won't hurt you.
See you in the morning.
Be careful.
What in God's name is a marmot? Another name for Bigfoot, probably.
Well, Brooke's gonna be worried sick.
Hayley, too.
You okay? You look cold.
Here.
Put this on.
Ohthanks.
Billy, I have to be honest with you.
When I found out Brooke couldn't take this trip, I arranged to take her place.
To talk to you to test myself I don't-- I don't know anymore what I feel.
What you feel.
Alison, Brooke's pregnant.
Oh, my God.
She can't be.
You've only been married a few months.
She's having a baby.
We're having a baby.
I don't believe it.
Billy I-I'm telling you how I feel from the bottom of my heart.
And I'm stopping you before you say any more.
Well, it's not fair.
I-I've been waiting for so long.
Wondering how when if I guess I still had hope.
I don't know what you want from me.
You idiot.
I--I want you to hold me and kiss me.
Tell me you still love me.
I can't anymore even if I wanted to.
Yes, yes, I understand.
Thank you.
Thank you very, very much.
They're okay.
Oh, thank God.
The plane had to make an emergency landing.
The pilot walked for help, and a sheriff's vehicle is on its way to pick them up right now.
Oh, God, I was so scared.
I was awake all night.
I just-- I couldn't imagine how I was gonna get through the next couple months.
I might as well tell you.
I'm pregnant, Daddy, with Billy's child, and we weren't gonna tell anyone for awhile, but I just thought, after all this I hope you're happy for me.
I think it's wonderful.
I'm just so surprised.
Well, we were, too, at first, but now Billy is so happy.
We both are, and-- I know it's premature, but I've been thinking about where we're gonna live.
And, I mean, it can't be that tiny little apartment, so I was thinking about the guest house here.
Can't you just see it? The four of us-- Billy, me, you, and the baby? A real family? Well, we've got lots of time to plan.
Oh, you're worried about how Alison might take this, aren't you? I hope this won't get in the way.
No, we won't worry about that now.
I'm just so happy for you.
Oh.
Billy, I'm sorry about last night.
I am happy for you and Brooke.
I-- I've just been so preoccupied with my own problems lately, I haven't even been able to think of yours.
I've been wrestling with this decision big decision I think I know what I'm going to do.
Well, it's not that I don't remember all the great times we had.
I know, it's-- it's just time to move on.
[horn honking.]
Here they come.
We're saved.
You ever tell Brooke about that, I'll kill you.
Cross my heart.
[knocking on door.]
Autopsy results.
Just so you know, this is an advance look.
No one has seen this yet-- not Michael, not that attorney.
Don't tell me you're gonna play "good news, bad news" with me.
What do you want first? The cause of death was a ruptured artery in his brain.
It had nothing to do with the respiratory tube coming out, but everything to do with the original fall.
So, I'm still on the hook.
Unless there's a way to prove self-defense and we already know that there isn't.
Let me ask you something, Amanda.
How attached are you to Jack's estate? I'd rather die than collect penny one of that blood money.
Good.
We can make a deal, then.
The estate in return for the sealing of the autopsy results.
The cause of death dies with Jack.
And Sydney's half of nothing-- is still nothing.
Oh, but won't she dream up something else to get from us? Like, your practice or my car? I mean, I can't believe she'll just go away.
Before you panic, ask yourself what it is that Sydney really wants, hmm? Well, that's obvious.
She wants Michael.
Michael to the rescue once again.
If--and this is a big "if"-- we set it up correctly.
That leaves one last question once Sydney is out of my hair how will I ever repay you? Well, only you can figure that out.
Hi.
Hi.
Mmm Come on! Oh, you must be starving! By the way, I told Daddy about the baby, and he was thrilled.
I know that we said that we weren't gonna tell anybody, but-- It's okay.
I-- I told Alison too.
You did? The whole time you were away, I kept thinking-- I hope my absence had the heart-grow- fonder effect.
It did.
For one thing, it made me realize how ridiculous that proposal of mine was.
The question, or the way you asked it? The way it was asked.
Like a kid, I was cushioning the blow to my ego in case your answer was no.
Anyway Alison, I've never been so in love in my life.
You've brought me the hope and happiness that I thought I'd lost forever.
You've made me see how bright the future can be.
I love you more than I have or will love anyone.
Will you do me the honor of becoming my partner for life? Will you marry me? Yes! Yes, I'll marry you! Okay, bye.
Sorry, they're both in surgery this morning.
Oh, I'm not here to see them.
I'm here to see you.
Oh, could it be you already have the money you owe me? As a matter of fact, I do.
These are the papers confirming the sale of my portion of Jack's estate-- for one dollar.
In exchange, the findings of Jack's autopsy will be sealed.
So, our deal--yours and mine-- was for half of my inheritance.
That comes to 50 cents.
You gave awaymillions.
Make all the claims you want now.
It'll be your word against mine, Peter's, and Michael's.
You're forgetting I still have that tape.
Yes, you do, and it's about as admissible in court as a blind eye-witness.
Besideswe both know what you really want-- Michael, right? My advice? Use the tape on him.
Oh, and one more thing-- Kimberly's moving into the apartment.
What! Are you as nuts as she is? Oh wait a minute.
This is Peter's idea, isn't it? She's in the way of yours and Peter's relationship, so just move her into the apartment building to torture the rest of us.
So move out.
I know a certain doctor who lives at the beach, all alone He'd love the company.
Oh, my God.
You're even better at this than I am.
It's about time you realized that.
Be out by 6:00.
Kimberly will be arriving with her things then.
Always a pleasure, Sydney.
Marry Alison, and you'll never see your grandchild.
I'll sever all ties-- family or otherwise.
If that's your choice, then go right ahead.
I'd hoped you'd grown up more than that, but I guess you haven't.
Oh, please! Who is acting like a child here? You fall on one knee like a lovesick teenager, proposing to a woman you barely know? If I could, I'd have you committed.
Alison and I are leaving for Rosarito Beach, Mexico, this afternoon.
I came here to ask for your blessing.
Sorry, Daddy-- not a chance.
Oh! You have no idea how wonderful this feels-- having my own place.
Being on a work-release program.
I hope you won't be lonely tonight all alone in that big house.
Maybe a little.
Hey, I know! You can listen to my radio show.
I'll make a point to listen.
Well, I'm sure you've got lots to do, so, um, if you're not gonna be needing me, I'll be going.
Thank you so much, Peter.
I promise I won't let you down.
I know you won't.
I'll see you.
Sydney out of your hair Kimberly out of mine Spend the night with me.
Are you sure? Are you sober? Both Bastard.
[guitar music playing.]
And now, you may exchange rings and the words of love you have chosen for yourselves.
Alisonthis ring symbolizes a bond that can never be broken.
With it, you have my promise that I will always be there to help, to care-- and I will never stop loving you.
From this day on, our lives are intertwined.
We are one now.
Hayley your incredible love and constant faith in me have now made me a complete person.
I promise to try in every way to be worthy of your love and kindness This is--without a doubt-- the happiest day of my life.
And therefore by the power vested in me by this church, I now pronounce you man and wife.
What God has joined together, let no man break apart.
[knocking on door.]
Oh! Good, you're home ta-da! I always get too much Chinese food anyway.
Imagine if I had to eat it all by myself! You haven't eaten, have you? No! I'm starved.
No peas in the fried rice.
See that? I remembered what you don't like.
Amanda told me what she's gonna do with Jack's estate.
She's already done it.
I couldn't even get a fortune cookie with my cut.
Oh, my God! I hope you don't think I'm gonna go after you now I am true to my word, Michael.
I promised I wouldn't lower myself, and I won't egg roll? Thanks.
Oh, by the way, did Amanda also tell you that she forced me out of my apartment so that Kimberly could move in? No, she didn't.
Kimberly in that building is that not like the sickest thing you've heard? Oh, it's pretty sick.
I was hoping that someone-- I don't know, someone like you, maybe, would take pity on my situation Oh, Syd, you know I would if I thought it would benefit either one of us.
But, I mean, let's face it-- no good could come of you living here.
I mean, it never did before, right? Those were the happiest days of my life.
Yes, but in retrospect Still the happiest days.
Syd, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to say no.
I can't let you make the same mistake twice.
I promised myself I wasn't going to do this that I wouldn't resort to blackmail but damn it, Michael, you are not giving me a choice.

Wait and see.
You'll forgive me for this.
