Melrose Place s04e30 Episode Script

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, what have I done? Oh, good.
Steady pulse.
He'll be okay.
Oh, God.
Hit from behind, so he didn't see a thing.
I know, I know, a burglary.
Okay.
Dang it.
Kimberly.
Hi.
I need to see Michael about a bookkeeping crisis.
You're just getting home? Yeah, just this second.
Why don't you come on in? Oh, my God.
We've been robbed.
[groan.]
Michael? The bedroom.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Michael.
Call an ambulance, Sydney.
Oh, sweetie.
Oh, goodness.
Oh.
What hit me? I don't know.
Uh--looks like you surprised a burglar.
Just sit still, okay? We're calling the paramedics.
I could've been killed.
Yes, you very well could have been.
[theme music.]
[rock and roll.]
Don't crack the sky above Don't let the bridges sway You're just the same as me and everyone Don't burn the whole downtown Don't wait for the money, man You're just the swallowed pill That I just met You'll see In time Everyone pays the price Everybody pays the price Everybody pays Well, if it isn't Miss Busy-body herself.
Blow any more whistles lately, or was attempting to ruin my friendship with Laurie enough? You know, she does blame me for your snooping.
I had good reasons for my suspicions.
Oh, one teeny-weeny bruise on the kid? What's next Chicken Little, the sky's falling? I don't have to listen to this.
No one's listening to you, either, Jo.
Oh, how quaint.
Bringing coffee to his lady love.
Chicken Little upstairs, Prince Charming downstairs.
I live in a freakin' fairy tale.
Hey.
I thought you might like a cup of coffee, and another apology for last night.
You're not the one who should be apologizing.
Jane, you got to tell me what's going on here.
I'm fine, okay? I just I got a little frustrated, that's all, and This big new deal that we landed in New York has got Richard and I working around the clock.
I'm a little preoccupied.
You sure? That's everything? Yes, I'm sure.
Enough questions, okay? I'll call you later.
We'll offer the mother and daughter the 200 grand again.
Take it or leave it.
No, understand? No.
I don't care if this case is civil, criminal, or capital, I will not admit to having sex with a teeny-bopper! I don't think you'll have to admit to anything.
Can I have a word with him alone? As his attorney-- If it's anything you could use, I'm sure Peter will catch you up.
It's all right, Alycia.
Five minutes, that's it.
Sit down.
Ready for this? I went to talk to Brandi and her mother, but when I got there, guess who I found? Who? Michael.
Michael? I couldn't hear what he and Brandi were saying, but their body language was screaming intimate.
Do you think Michael seduced that girl on the beach? Well, I'm assuming that she was trading sex for his vote.
And he was just gonna let me sit there and rot in jail, wasn't he? Well, first of all, he probably never thought it would go this far.
And secondly, there's the Kimberly situation.
That's Michael's problem-- right now, Alycia's working on my bail, when I get out of here-- I'm not gonna wait that long.
I'm gonna jump on this right away.
No, you're not-- Relax! I read somewhere that, in the '90s, it's actually okay for a woman to rescue a man.
Well, is "thank you" good enough? Not nearly.
You know, it's better when it's cut together and sweetened with music.
[moans.]
Two more days of shooting, it's in the can.
Your last installment.
I swear, Sydney, you're the best producer I've ever worked with.
Cutest one, too.
You know why you're wasting your time on that boob Bobby when you could have a guy like me, I'll never know.
Please, Jimmy, let's save the passion for the cameras, all right? Quick roll in the hay, what's wrong with that? I know you're not getting it from Bobby.
And for good reason.
Porno films? What the hell is this? You knew I was looking for investors, Bobby.
I mean, the kid here has got a good nose for business.
Get out.
What, are you deaf?! Get out! What can I say? I was trying to find something for us.
Y'know, for you, to get you out of the airplane hangar.
And if I'd known it was that kind of film, before I got into it, I'd have been right out the door.
You know what the funny thing is? There's a funny thing? You don't know how relieved I am to hear that.
I came by here to apologize for getting mad about the tattoos.
Oh.
Well, apology accepted.
Damn it, Sydney.
You want a relationship, and that's how you go about getting one? Making porno films.
Mmm.
Yeah? No.
Whatever it was, Sydney, and it was never a relationship it's over.
All right, all right, enough already! I don't need some wet-behind-the-ears med student experimenting on my head.
The dressing is fine, and I'm fine.
Come on, Michael, how's the poor guy supposed to learn anything? That's what cadavers are for, at least when I was in med school.
Fine, I'll check on you later.
Just-- uh, keep him in bed, Amanda.
Well, I know one sure-fire way you can do that.
Well, at least you've got your sense of humor back.
Lovely flowers.
But what's your real reason for coming here? I may have been hit in the head, but I wasn't born yesterday.
For once, Michael, your paranoia is justified.
It was you who slept with that kid Brandi, wasn't it? You know, Amanda, I'm suddenly feeling very dizzy.
Well, you're gonna feel unconscious if you don't come clean.
Now, I came here quietly, but I could go elsewhere.
Say, to Kimberly very noisily, unless you want to tell me the truth.
Listen, Amanda.
In the first place, I thought she was over 18.
And I had been fighting with Kimberly.
And there I was, all alone in a strange city, drinking too much.
I didn't ask for excuses.
Okay.
Yes, I allowed the kid to seduce me.
One time, one time on the beach.
So? What are we gonna do? I'm gonna save your butt.
Ow.
How many times do I have to tell you? It doesn't go here, it goes here.
Jake, what is your problem? You've been testy since I got here.
That's right, and there's no reason I should be taking it out on you.
Is it something about Jane? No.
Yeah.
Ever since she got back from New York, she's barely said two words to me.
And then when we are together, we just fight all the time.
It's like she's pushing me away.
And I don't know why.
Oh, I'm sure, in time-- That's just it, I don't feel like I have time.
I feel like time is slipping away.
I feel like she's slipping away.
Unless you could get her to open up.
Oh, no.
Oh, no way.
Don't get me involved in this.
I'm terrible with this kind of thing.
I'll just foul it up more, and then you'll turn around and blame me.
I won't blame you, I promise I won't blame you.
I'll even give you the night off, if you'll go by her place.
And if I refuse? I'll fire your ass.
Well, in that case.
Thank you, thank you.
Hey, uh-- can we talk? Last I heard, we were still partners.
I mean, every time I turn around now, there's something going on behind my back.
It's after 6:00.
Aren't you usually long gone by now? Well, if you'd been paying attention, you'd notice that I've turned over a new leaf.
And what did you find under that new leaf? Things you've been keeping from me.
Like what's the mother of the kid who got Peter thrown in jail doing in your office? Oh, that's easy.
She's waiting for me.
Oh, by the way, congratulations on that new leaf thing.
Hello, Teri.
I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
Did anyone get you coffee? Let's cut the niceties, okay? I know you're Peter Burns' lover.
Or is that past tense by now? Actually, it's immaterial.
And so are the offers I think you have up your sleeve.
That is why you requested this little meeting, is it not? In a way.
Nothing you do or say will make up for what that man did to me.
To you? I was under the impression he did it to your daughter.
Me, her, whatever.
You know how men are.
How indiscriminately they use people.
They use you, your beauty.
Then they just toss you away the minute you're not their ideal anymore.
Oh, believe me, I've been through the same thing.
Not what I've been through.
The lies, the heartache.
It all started with Brandi's father.
He was abusive? I wouldn't know.
You see I never even knew his name.
Work is so frustrating.
Sometimes I wish I had a job like yours.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That came out wrong.
No, you're right.
It's not exactly the most challenging position, except when Jake's in a bad mood.
It was so tense tonight, I came home early.
Well, I'm glad, it was getting kind of lonely around here.
Is everything okay with you and Jake? Yeah.
Why, did he say something? No, no.
Not really.
He's just he's kind of surly.
You know how he gets.
Yeah, I do.
[phone rings.]
You want me to get that? No, I'll let the machine pick it up.
Hi, it's Jane.
I'm not in.
Leave a message, thanks.
[Richard's voice.]
Jane, Richard.
I know you're there.
Pick it up.
You can't hide from me forever, Jane.
Jane? Jane, what is it? Is it about Richard? What's going on? He raped me.
Richard raped me.
Oh, God.
I can't believe you pulled this off! Hello, Peter.
How was jail? An eye-opening diversion, to say the least.
Before you ask, the reason you're out is because Brandi and Teri here dropped all charges.
A simple thank-you will suffice.
Looks like the cat's got the doctor's tongue.
I guess I'm afraid to ask why.
Would you believe a simple change of heart? Oh, and yes, I guess you haven't heard.
Brandi here has been chosen as the new miracle girl for Lady Day Cosmetics.
A two-year contract, $200,000, residuals will add at least a hundred more.
Yes, it's extortion.
But as long as we got what we wanted all along, what difference does it make? The difference is, you never admitted you lied.
Now, I want both of you to tell Amanda right now that I never laid a hand on either one of you.
Peter, that is not necessary.
Tell her.
No.
Don't you dare say a word.
No, Mother, I'm going to.
It was a lie, to pay him back for not voting for me.
I'm sorry, Peter.
Yes, I'm sorry, too.
I'm sorry that scoundrels posing as doctors are allowed to walk the streets.
I'm not worried, though.
You'll wind up trampling somebody else, and you'll get yourself back in trouble.
You've got that look, doctor.
You're always conning somebody.
Even dear Miss Woodward here, I'll bet.
How are you conning her, Doctor? Let's go, Brandi.
If we hurry, we can deposit the check before the banks close.
So, how are you conning me? Anything I've ever done or ever will do is because well, you know why.
No.
I want you to say it.
It's because [muffled.]
I love you.
What? What was that? You heard me.
No.
Say it again.
No.
Don't say no! I heard what you said.
Peter.
Nope.
You said you loved me.
No, I didn't.
Yes, you did.
I know you did.
Enter, Fielding.
Hot seat's right there.
So, you want to be my teaching assistant? Just so you know, it doesn't guarantee an "A" in my class.
Oddly, the thought never crossed my mind.
Uh-huh.
You're a lousy liar, Fielding.
I hate butt kissers.
Love eager beavers.
Now, you're two-thirds of the way there, Fielding.
So what do I have to do to get the other third? Set me up with Jo Reynolds.
Well, I thought Jo and that whole situation would keep me from getting the job.
Well, true, I don't like being attacked by overzealous crusaders.
But on the other hand, I do like over-zealousness in women.
Hell, I'd give her the T.
A.
job if she knew anything about medicine.
It's a-- it's a very strange request, Doctor.
It almost sounds as though, if I don't set you up with Jo, then I-- I won't get the T.
A.
job.
It's a secret clause in the Hippocratic oath.
You see, you scratch my back, and I scratch yours.
Well, I'll see what I can do.
Oh, I know you will.
How's that breeze back there? Oh.
Peter.
This is wonderful.
You're out of jail.
Mm-hmm.
One thing about jail.
You may get out, but it always stays with you.
Now-now, partner, let's keep that temper in check.
You know I would have come forward as soon as I found out you were in jail.
Really.
No kidding.
Yeah, I swear to God, but then I got bopped on the head by this burglar, you know, lousy timing.
Oh, don't sweat it.
I'd have done the same thing if the positions were reversed.
We're lucky we have such a good friend in Amanda.
She really went on a limb for us in this one.
Mmm, great girl, great girl.
Hey, you two back together? Of course you are.
Gee, that's great! That's great.
Listen, I decided I'm gonna come clean with Kimberly.
You know, confess the whole sordid mess.
Brandi, the beach, the whole shebang.
She'll kill you.
Well, I'm willing to take that risk.
No, I mean she'll really kill you, Michael.
I'm serious.
She's way too fragile for something like that right now, which is why I'm here.
To let you know that Amanda and I are gonna keep quiet on this one for you.
Oh, thank you, Peter.
But I don't think Kimberly's that fragile anymore.
You know, I think this knock on my head has actually knocked some sense into hers, if that makes any sense.
None at all.
Yeah.
Why don't you be smart for a change, huh? Keep your mouth shut.
Right.
That bandage okay? Yeah, the nurse just checked it.
I think so Let me take a look at that.
Okay.
Ah! Now, you ever pull a stunt like this Brandi thing again, and you'll know the true meaning of head injury.
What the hell happened to you? "Hi" to you, too.
I fell off a horse shooting a beer commercial, all right? I was on a ranch in Agoura for 12 hours.
It was a lovely day.
You don't have time to go home and change? You wanted a drink, I didn't know there was a dress code.
Okay, this isn't a date.
It's just to talk and have a drink.
You set me up with that pompous quack? Are you crazy? Dr.
O'Malley, hi.
I believe you two know each other.
Hi, Jo.
I'll get us something to drink.
White wine? Yeah, fine.
Yeah.
Great.
Perfect.
So, how's Tyler doing? And, um what was her name, the mom? Laurie, was that it? I haven't seen them since she accused me of being an obsessed maniac.
So I guess you two agree on that.
Did I say that? Yeah.
You said that.
Ouch.
Listen, I think you should know that Matt did not warn me about this.
But if you would have known, you wouldn't have come, right? Yeah, probably not.
I know you're angry.
All right, but you know, really, you should-- you should be flattered.
One drink, and I'm leaving.
That'll be plenty of time.
[knocking on door.]
What are you doing here? Well, I felt it necessary to thank you.
I saved your butt, Doctor.
You think ten bucks worth of flowers will do the trick? Okay.
Maybe it wasn't very creative.
But you know us doctors.
We're all, um left brained.
In advertising, however, it's 90% right brain.
Well, please tell me, how do you suggest that I creatively go about expressing my gratitude? You could take off your clothes.
My what? Your shirt, your pants, your underwear, your clothes.
By the way, did I ever tell you how grateful I am for all the times you've rescued me? Want a better opportunity? Not very subtle, am I? Subtlety is way overrated.
Well, I said I'd have one drink.
You made me have two.
I said, "I'm leaving.
" you said you'd walk me home.
You're very good at this, Doctor.
What's this? You trying to butter me up so I'll have another look at little Tyler's situation? Yeah, well, the thought did cross my mind several times in the last hour, actually.
This may sound ridiculous, but I have very strong instincts in this area.
As well as a history? Yeah.
In the form of a husband who drank too much and took his frustrations out on me.
And in that case, I ignored my instincts.
I waited too long.
I denied it.
Yes, I will take another look at Tyler.
Tomorrow? Well, they're always at the park at that time.
And here I thought I was setting you up.
Kimberly, I need to tell you something.
Mm-hmm? I considered not telling you.
Peter advised against it.
But I feel obligated to be honest with you.
And I think I can tell you anything without fear.
So [clears throat.]
You know, uh when I went down to San Diego for that beauty contest? Mm-hmm? Well, I um I had sex with one of the contestants.
Yeah.
That girl, Brandi.
The one they accused Peter of sleeping with.
It was stupid, you know? And it didn't mean anything.
And I swear to God, I'll never stray again.
It was just a case of temporary insanity, you know, a few cheap thrills.
Which is not an excuse for anything.
But, um Just feel free to jump in anytime here.
I think you'd better leave, Michael.
All right.
If that's what you want.
But you know, we're gonna have to talk sometime.
Get out, Michael.
Fine.
Okay, you know, it's a good idea.
A little walk on the beach, let you calm down.
It's a great idea.
I heard a noise.
You okay? I know, I know, I know.
I know.
[loud knocking.]
Kimberly! Come on, Kimberly, locked out of the house all night? And it's been raining, and I slept in the car.
I mean Michael, you have to move out-- it's for your own good.
Look, I know I made a mistake, but don't I score a few points for fessing up? It's not just that, okay? It's dangerous for you to be anywhere near us.
Us? Who are you talking about? You got somebody in there-- No.
I'm talking about the relationship.
Okay, us, the two of us.
You're not good for either of us.
It's not that I don't love you.
It's just please go.
Please go before it's too late.
This is a good distributor.
I close this deal, and we're in fat city.
Oh, who cares anymore? He's gone.
The moron thinks he's happier poor.
God, if only his father hadn't taken away his business.
We'd be-- I don't know, maybe even in love by now.
Yeah? Well, his father didn't take away his business.
What did you say? Bobby's dad never touched that cable company.
Bobby was set up by someone else.
Who? Tell me who.
Who did it? Whoa.
Hey, hey.
Easy with the jacket.
Sorry.
It was his lawyer, I heard.
She and someone she was doing.
Oh, my God.
Peter.
Who? Peter Burns.
He was sleeping with Alycia at the time, sleeping with her, but he was still in love with Amanda.
He set Bobby up for the fall.
So great.
Who cares? I care.
I may finally have what I need to get Bobby back.
What are you doing here, Jo? Hi, Laurie.
This is Dr.
O'Malley.
This is the doctor that examined Tyler.
You know, there's got to be a law against this kind of harassment.
Can't you two get it through your heads? I would never, ever hurt my child.
But if someone else were hurting him, wouldn't you wanna know? I want to be left alone, Doctor, period.
You're running from something, aren't you? Doctor and clairvoyant? Whoever it is you're covering up for, Laurie, it does no one any good.
You're fishing.
Admit it, this whole thing is just a fishing expedition.
Who is it, Laurie? Is it an ex-husband, somebody in the family? Whoever it is, you're not responsible.
Well, I am if it was my boyfriend, and I allowed him into my home.
Tony was so cool at first.
And I needed a guy around, for Tyler.
Tony was out of work, and he would stay with Tyler while I was at my job.
The very first time I saw him hitting Tyler, I left.
That day, I left.
I would never keep Tyler in a situation like that.
You know, I might not be much more than a kid myself, but Tyler is my kid.
And I love him.
We know you do.
We know you do.
Don't we, Jo? Laurie, I am so sorry.
If I'd known Listen, with your permission, I'd like to-- I'd like to contact the child services in Chicago.
We'll make sure that this Tony guy stays far away from you and Tyler.
Jo, Dr.
O'Malley.
Mommy, look, it's my friends.
I know, honey.
Why are you crying, mommy? It's nothing, honey.
Mommy's fine.
Relax.
They come in here sometimes after work.
Alison, when you get a chance, you've got some thirsty customers here.
And we're expecting clients, so two more stools, too.
I'm sorry.
This isn't my station.
I'll send somebody over to help you.
You know, Jane, I really hope you've been keeping your mouth shut about New York.
Yeah, I have.
Good.
Order us those beers.
I'll be right back.
How are you doing, buddy? Bobby? Sydney, if you're here to get me to come back, forget about it.
No, I'm not that stupid.
Well, sometimes I am, but everybody makes mistakes.
I was desperate, and I acted desperately.
I don't know.
Maybe I just needed a little positive reinforcement.
I mean, when you're someone who's been rejected as many times as I have, and that is all-- Sydney, get to the point.
Oh.
I come in peace.
With some information that I think you might find very interesting.
Bobby it wasn't your father that set you up with that senator and cost you your cable company.
It was Peter and Alycia, working together.
Apparently, Alycia wanted the cable company, and Peter wanted Amanda.
Bummer, huh? So, um what are you gonna do about it, Bobby? I mean, because if it's revenge that you're contemplating, I have a lot of experience in that area.
And if there's anything I could do-- Sydney, get out.
Yeah.
I enjoyed dinner, Kimberly.
But what do you wanna talk about? Betsy's back.
And with a vengeance.
She's the one who hit Michael over the head, not a burglar.
Oh, Peter, it's so terrifying.
I mean, I used to be a lot Kimberly and a little Betsy.
And now it's the other way around.
And the worst part is, she's mean, crazy mean.
When Michael told us about that girl, Brandi, she was ready to kill him.
I don't know what to do.
I love Michael.
And what if I hurt him? God help me if I hurt him.
Kimberly, I want to check you into a facility immediately, before this gets more out of control.
Part of me, the Kimberly part, was hoping that's what you'd suggest.
What are we gonna tell people? Well, first, we'll tell them that you're at a medical convention.
And, after that, we'll just be inventive.
You all right with this? Yeah.
My old buddy Peter, always checking me into looney bins.
Your check, sir.
I just have to powder my nose, and then we'll be off.
I'll wait outside.
Peter? Peter, what's going on? I have a thousand things to do today.
It's Bobby.
I had a message to meet Peter.
When Peter checks his voice mail, he'll find a message to meet you.
What the hell did I ever do to you, Alycia? Huh? Why did you find it so damn necessary to steal my company?! Bobby, I swear to God, that was all Peter's idea.
Yeah, to get Amanda back.
He was using me! Bull! You destroyed me.
Bitch, you and Peter both.
Hi.
Where have you been? I've been looking for Kimberly all night.
She's had some problems, I've been helping her.
What's the matter? Bobby's dead.
He was murdered last night, thrown out a window, your office window.
The police were looking for you.
Last night? Do they have a time of death? There was a witness on the street.
I was with Kimberly until 9:00.
I have an alibi.
Amanda.
Don't say anything.
I believe you.
I gotta go take care of this.
Be careful.
I'm sorry I'm late-- I lost track of time.
Yeah, I know.
I called your place five times.
I'm gonna go grab some orders.
Look, you know something, don't you? That's why you were late, that's why-- why you've been avoiding me.
I could see it in your face when you wouldn't wait on Richard and Jane yesterday.
What'd you find out? Jake, please, I don't wanna talk about it.
Are they having an affair? God no, it's nothing like that.
Well, what the hell else could it be?! She won't go anywhere near me.
I am about five seconds away from breaking up with someone I happen to love.
You don't understand.
She swore me to secrecy.
Look, if you want to know something, you have to ask her yourself.
All right.
I will.
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
No-- Jake, don't.
Midline's called a dozen times.
I tried you at home.
Oh, I wasn't picking up.
Has Peter Burns called? No.
But your private line's showing voice mail.
It has been all day.
I'll call Midline first thing in the morning.
You can go on home.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
[Bobby's voice.]
Hey, gorgeous.
It's me, Bobby.
Guess where I am? [mimics buzzer.]
Peter's office.
Anyways, you know, it was Peter who set me up with that senator.
The contributions.
He sank my reputation so you'd dump me, and he could have you all to himself.
And how about that? It worked.
Gotta love the guy.
And here I thought the most important thing to you was honesty.
Wait, someone's coming.
I think it's Peter.
Gotta go.
What'd you expect, Jane? I would just sit back and act like nothing was going on? There is nothing to say, Jake.
Everything is fine.
Are you having an affair with him, is that it? I want you to leave, and I'm asking you nicely.
I can't.
Not until I know.
Now what really happened in New York? Jake.
Damn it! I love you, and I'm losing you.
He raped me, all right? Richard raped me.
What's going on-- what did you tell him? The truth about what Richard did to me.
And now he's gonna kill him.
And you didn't stop him? No.
I let him go.
I want him to kill him.
Nurse Amy, I'm looking for Dr.
Shaw.
Dr.
Burns, you know the police are looking for you.
They've been here all evening.
Just tell me where she is.
I need her, Amy.
She's my alibi in all of this.
I haven't seen her all day.
But I could page her for you, if you like.
I already have, Dr.
Burns.
Officers, I understand you've been looking for me.
Not very bright, leaving the crime scene that way.
Last night, I was having dinner with a colleague, Dr.
Kimberly Shaw.
At the moment, we're more interested in your involvement in the collapse of Mr.
Parezi's cable company.
I understand that you and Alycia Barnett collaborated in an effort to slander Mr.
Parezi.
Whether that's true or not, I don't know how that relates to Mr.
Parezi's demise.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we go someplace private, where we can talk? Of course.
Nurse Amy, if Dr.
Shaw calls, will you page me immediately? Of course, Doctor.
Thank you.
Dr.
Burns, emergency call, line three.
Dr.
Burns, emergency call, line three.
Kimberly? No, Peter.
It's me, Alycia.
I just wanted to call and say good-bye.
You heard what happened to Bobby? Yeah.
The police were at my house.
I went out the back way, and I rented a car.
And I'm going away, and I can't tell you where.
You see, I killed him.
I killed Bobby.
Alycia, you need to turn that car around and get back here.
You see, the police are under the impression that I killed Bobby.
Sir, who are you talking to? Are you listening to me, Alycia? They want to put me in jail.
I loved you so much.
I still do.
Well then, turn around and get back here.
Now, I won't let anything happen to you.
I care for you.
I'll help you.
Okay, I'll turn around, and I'll come back.
Alycia, before you go, I need you to talk to the officers.
[tires screech.]
Aaahhh! Alycia? Are you there? Alycia, are you there? I'm losing you.
You're breaking up.
Alycia? Alycia, answer me! [theme music.]
