Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s05e06 Episode Script
Homecoming
Aren't you glad we don't go to this school? Can you imagine having this ugly gold as your school color? lt's almost grounds for transferring.
-Mission accomplished.
-Right.
l still don't think this is gonna work.
Hey, show a little faith, will you? Do you think anyone can tell we don't go here? Well, your C.
U.
Alpha pin might have given it away.
Donna! What? l forgot l had it on.
Details, Donna.
Details.
A good spy doesn't forget the details.
Hey, l never said l wanted to be a spy.
Oh, well, it's a little late for that now.
Can't we just make, like, a big float and call it a day? Hey, you volunteered for the Greek Homecoming Committee.
Stealing the SCU mascot comes with the territory.
So, how many times has it been stolen? Once.
and some of his KEG brothers pulled this off.
And it is definitely time for history to repeat itself.
Exactly where are we going? Right there.
l didn't know it was so tall.
Looks heavy, too.
Well, we're not gonna do anything right now, right? Of course not.
This is a fact-finding mission.
Well, the fact is it's way too big to move.
Not to mention those two guys standing guard over there.
You think they're always there? Probably 24 hours a day, until Saturday's game.
What now, Mr.
Bond? Ferdinand! How are you? lt's about time you paid us a visit.
How are Cora and the boys? They are mad at me because l didn't bring them.
Arnold, they are dying to see you.
Well, they have a standing invitation, as always.
President Quintero, may l present Professor Evan Clay of our lnternational Studies Department.
l've read your latest book.
And Professor Lin Suhoto, of our Asian Studies Department.
Professor Suhoto did her thesis on Selanesia.
On your educational reform.
Fantastic! l'd like to have a look at it Now here is the real reason why l came all the way to the States! Hi, Nando! Hi, how are you? President Quintero.
Dad, you're so formal.
Your father's an old stick-in-the-mud.
So, how is my Clare? Couldn't be better.
Oh, have you met Brandon yet? Brandon! Brandon Walsh, l'd like you to meet President Quintero.
A pleasure to meet you, sir.
My pleasure.
Besides being Clare's boyfriend, Brandon is also student body president of California University.
A fellow chief executive.
Well, he doesn't get perks like you do though.
No private jet? l'm still working on a parking space.
Oh, we'll handle that in due time, Brandon.
Let's all go in the living room.
What was that comment about me being your boyfriend? Don't ask me.
l can't help it if he lives in a fantasy world.
So, your father and Quintero are pretty tight, huh? Yeah, they met at Wharton.
Actually, he introduced my mom and dad.
No wonder it's such a happy reunion.
Well, it's not, exactly.
Can you keep a secret? Sure.
Nando's here for treatment at CU Medical Center.
He has liver cancer.
l'm sorry.
ls your father still having the reception here for him tonight? Yeah, and you better be here.
Let's face it, this bear heist is a wash.
There is no way l'm going back to the Greek Council and telling them that we can't pull this off, okay? Well, if we could just figure out how to lose those guards for a few moments Valerie.
Come on over here and help us brainstorm for this homecoming stunt.
Sure.
What do you have in mind? We need to steal something that's under Not to mention ten feet tall and 200 pounds.
ln other words, mission: impossible.
Hmm.
You know, l knew a couple girls at SUNY Buffalo who had to create a distraction kind of like this.
ln fact, it was exactly like this.
Well, if you've got a plan, we could sure use one.
The only thing is though, it could be a little cruel.
Cruel is okay.
Cruel is preferable.
Sit down.
Thanks.
Oh, she should be down for at least an hour.
Oh, good.
We could use the quiet.
How would you like to take a little cat nap with me? l'm sorry, sweetie.
l meant quiet so l could study.
Guess you could turn it on for the women at work, but not for your own wife, right? Oh, God, are we back to this again? Yeah, l guess we are.
Look, l've told you a million times, a good bartender always flirts with the women customers a little.
Right, so you can end up with more cash in your pocket when you get home-- l've heard that before, Okay? But that's just the way it is, okay? No, it's not okay! lt's seedy.
Oh, come on-- it's not like anything goes on with these women.
You know it doesn't mean anything.
lt does! lt means that we hardly have any time together, and then when we do, all you want to do is study! Look, l have to study.
Look, we're both really busy right now, all right? lt's just bad timing.
Jesse, l'm worried about us.
Well, don't be.
We're okay.
We're okay.
Come in.
Brandon Walsh? Wow.
You guys are my first visitors.
-Welcome.
-Hi, l'm Kaye Whitney.
We met during the campaign.
You're Josh's friend.
You canvassed for us, right? Congratulations, belatedly.
-And this is Ben Lerner.
-Hey.
We're the cochairs of the CU chapter of Human Rights lnternational.
Josh was on our executive board.
Yeah, l remember.
What can l do for you guys? Well, uh, it's going around that the president of Selanesia is here on campus.
Ferdinand Quintero.
l met him this morning.
You actually pressed flesh with the Butcher, huh? -The Butcher? -Brandon, did you know that last year there were over 450 incidents of torture -in his country? -That's right.
Whippings, beatings-- government-sanctioned.
And you're saying Quintero knows about this? Quintero orders it.
This guy is a murderer.
He shouldn't be on our campus.
He's an enemy to the people.
Look, guys, he's not here on a political visit.
He's here as Chancellor Arnold's personal guest.
Well, we're going to make his visit as unpleasant as possible.
Now, are you, as our student body president, with us or not? Listen admittedly, l don't know that much about the state of affairs in Selanesia, but l just met this guy.
He seems like a normal person.
Your ignorance is showing, Walsh.
Brandon, we know what we're talking about.
We wouldn't be here otherwise.
You're wasting your breath, Kaye.
You remember what Alex Diaz said about this guy.
You really are the chancellor's lackey, aren't you? lt was a pleasure, guys.
Guess who? Ray, hi! Hi.
What're you working on? lt's a promo for the Admissions Office.
l'm trying to pick out the prettiest parts of campus to use.
Well, why don't you just use a shot of yourself, talking about how much you like it here? You're one of the prettiest things l've seen on campus.
You are smooth, aren't you? Well, despite the rough edges.
Actually, l, uh, came to say good-bye.
Why? Where are you going? Well, we're done with the job here.
You can now consider your college completely earthquake-safe, unless we get a shaker over 9.
2.
Uh-oh.
Here it comes.
Anyway.
Uh So long.
Well, l was kinda getting used to you being around.
Well, why don't you give me your phone number and l'll be sure to be ''around'' again.
Um What? ls someone already carrying your books home from school? Sort of.
Well, l can compete with ''sort of.
'' That's not what l meant.
l meant l already have a boyfriend.
Oh.
Well, lucky him.
How serious is this boyfriend? l don't know yet.
Well, he couldn't have too much of a lead on me then.
Mm-mm.
Well, then, respectfully, l'm gonna ask for your phone number one more time.
Clare, tell me something.
What do you know about torture going on in Quintero's country? Torture? Brandon, that's absurd.
That's not what Human Rights lnternational says.
Yeah, well, that group's been all over Nando right from the beginning.
So you have heard of this? Yeah, but there's no truth to it.
How do you know? Because, Brandon, l've been there.
My father worked with Nando on the reforms.
l practically watched them install democracy in that country.
Besides, do you really think my father's gonna be friends with a butcher? l wouldn't think so.
Now, the baker and the candlestick maker, maybe, but the butcher, no way.
So, do you think it would blow Jim and Cindy away if l didn't come home until morning? Mm, what do you think? They're so wholesome and Midwest it kills me.
What happened to you then? Actually, l'm working with the Homecoming Committee this weekend on a caper.
Very apple pie of me, don't you think? l suppose.
Well, l don't want to shatter the image just yet.
Same time, same station tomorrow? l don't know.
Let's not get in a rut here, okay? No rut.
Neither of us want anything heavy here, Dylan.
Yeah, well, just so long as we remember that.
Got burned out on the real thing, huh? l'm just taking a breather.
You were really in love with Brenda, weren't you? That was a long time ago.
And Kelly? What is this, 20 questions? l just want to know who you loved more, the blonde or the brunette? Why? You thinking of dyeing your hair? Maybe.
Look, don't go falling in love here, okay? l'm not looking for love.
Good, because things are getting too cozy between us as it is.
You already know more about me than you should.
l don't know why it's such a big secret that you lost your money.
Well, you don't have to know.
lt's my business.
That's the way l want to keep it, all right? Okay, l'll take it to the grave.
You better.
You should go.
Not yet.
As l recall, Arnold, it was your brilliant idea to hire local tribesmen to help us with our water purification.
We were in a very remote part of the jungle, but l had no way of knowing that people would be so superstitious.
After a few hours of digging, one of the men saw a white bird fly over the river.
And they promptly put down their tools and went into a deep meditation that lasted for two weeks.
Those were the days, l tell you.
Excuse me for interrupting, Mr.
President, but we have a demonstration outside.
l believe you'll be more secure upstairs.
A demonstration? lt's about 12 people.
They look like students.
Only 12? l must be losing my edge.
Ferdinand, l'm, l'm so sorry.
You don't have to apologize, Arnold.
Besides, l'm feeling a little tired.
Uh, good night.
l'll see you off.
Thank you.
Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! l know people have the right to demonstrate, but did they really have to ruin Nando's first night here? Well, at least it ended peacefully.
Speak of the devils President Walsh, we meet again.
Gilbert and Sullivan, that was quite a show you put on tonight.
You should have been there.
Josh would have been there.
Actually, l was there.
l was inside.
Now, why doesn't that surprise me? l was there, too.
And you people are completely wrong about Quintero.
Oh, yeah? Why don't you read our latest report on Selanesia, then come tell me how wrong we are about him.
Right.
Just because it's in print, that makes it true.
You know, for your information, Quintero is the best leader Selanesia's ever had.
l'll see you outside.
Look, guys, let's try to find some common ground here, huh? Forget it, Walsh.
You're either with us or you're in the enemy camp.
You can't throw bouquets to both sides.
All right, l'll read your pamphlet, but a little real proof wouldn't hurt.
You want real proof? l can get it for you.
Yeah, tomorrow after lunch sounds great.
Okay, l like surprises.
l'll see you then.
Bye.
Does this mean it's done, or it needs more time? Look.
l don't know.
lsn't there, like, a culinary hotline we can call or something? Well, l'm gonna make an educated guess and take 'em out.
Valerie said they shouldn't be overcooked.
Was that Griffin on the phone? No, Ray.
-Ray? -Mm-hmm.
We're going out tomorrow.
But we're stealing the bear tomorrow night with your boyfriend, remember? l'll be there.
Look, will you just cover for me tomorrow afternoon? This is very naughty of you.
What are you doing? l don't know.
He's surprising me.
Donna, this guy could be a mass murderer, for all you know.
Oh! Don't be ridiculous.
lt's not like he's a stranger or anything.
What? l've seen him on campus, at the Peach Pit.
He even came to the TV station today, okay? Well, then he's practically family.
l like him.
l trust him.
Famous last words.
-Hey.
-Hey.
What're you doing here? l thought you'd be at the SU pep rally.
Believe me, l'd rather be there than here.
Yeah, you and me both.
Unfortunately, my physics teacher doesn't have that homecoming spirit, so l'll be doing laundry and studying all weekend.
Ooh, have you ever become domestic.
You're telling me.
So what's the topic? Human Rights lnternational.
What do you think of them? l think they're excellent.
-Really? -Mm-hmm.
'Cause they sure have some damning things to say about Selanesia.
Listen to this: ''Citizens report the following ''as routine police interrogation methods: ''whipping with rattan canes, burning flesh with cigarettes, the use of electric shocks--'' to parts of the body you really don't need to hear about -That's disgusting.
-Yeah.
Clare swears it's all fabricated.
Well, personally, l'd take whatever they say pretty seriously.
l mean, they don't have anything on their agenda outside of protecting life.
Clare, where does your father keep the soy sauce? Oh, in the cupboard right there.
He doesn't cook at all anymore.
Oh, that's a shame, a real shame.
You know, your father and mother were gourmet chefs.
Well, maybe that's why.
You know, he doesn't want to be reminded.
But you're a reminder every day.
Clare, you look more and more like her.
Excuse me, a Brandon Walsh to see you, sir.
Oh, fine.
Send him in.
Brandon, just in time.
We need a third opinion on this sauce.
-Here.
-Thanks.
lt's good.
Great, that's what we wanted to hear.
Clare, get this young man an apron.
Oh, uh, you may leave us alone, thank you.
Security, it's one aspect of this job l've never gotten used to.
Fortunately, l don't have to deal with bodyguards quite yet.
Tell me, what do you have to contend with? What do you find most difficult as school president? Not being able to please everyone is the hardest thing, l think.
l know the feeling.
l live with it every day.
Which isn't to say it doesn't hurt.
Didn't seem to bother you last night, with the demonstration and all.
Brandon, a good leader must have a thick skin.
l'll remember that.
There is a saying: ''lf you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
'' You're gonna love this, it's wonderful.
Think it's ready for MTV? Yeah, absolutely.
Well, end of the show.
Would you mind putting this back in the glove compartment for me? Sure.
Uh, so, so, where, where, where are we going? lt's a surprise.
ln fact, uh, why don't you close your eyes? Donna, this guy could be a mass murderer, for all you know.
Oh, my God! lt's great, isn't it? ''Pruit Family Pumpkins''? Yeah, it's a family business.
l told my Aunt Marie we'd come by and help her out.
lt's prime selling season.
You can't carve a pumpkin without a good knife.
Right.
Hey, bud.
Hey, bud.
What's going on? Well, we're doing a virtual reenactment of the Great Mascot Heist of '64.
You're kidding.
l'm telling you Brandon, lightning is going to strike twice.
Think you can make it? Uh, no promises.
l've got to deal with this right now.
All right, don't work too hard.
All right.
Later, bud.
What's going on, Kaye? Want to go for another round? No.
l thought l'd take you up on your ''common ground'' idea.
Brandon Walsh, this is Mawn Yoto.
l've seen you around campus.
You do the gardening, right? Can we go in your office? Sure.
So what's all this about? You said you needed proof.
Mawn is from Selanesia.
His brother edited a newspaper there, wrote some stuff, critical stuff about the government.
Quintero wanted to have him shut up.
ls this true? Mawn was grabbed by the police when he was at the market, and ordered to say his brother planted a bomb in a government building.
When he refused, they tortured him.
Wait a second, whose story is this? Can't he speak for himself? lt's okay, you can trust him.
They questioned me every day.
When l wouldn't cooperate, they beat me.
Over and over again.
After a week l couldn't stand it anymore.
l signed a statement against my brother.
We found him by the side of a road.
Shot in the head.
l can't believe it.
Show him, Mawn.
Look.
Quintero himself ordered this done.
Now are you ready to help us? What do you want me to do? Aunt Marie, will you ring this up for these folks here? Happy Halloween.
So, what do you think? You're a natural.
Hey, l've been making jack-o-lanterns for years.
Roasting the seeds, making pumpkin pie, all ritual at the Martin house.
Well, around here, the animals get first crack at the pumpkin food.
Have you seen the petting zoo yet? No.
Aunt Marie put me right to work.
Well, come on, it's feeding time.
Oh, actually, it's getting pretty late.
Maybe l better skip it.
Donna Donna, how many newborn goats -have you seen in your life? -None that l can think of.
How often do you get to feed a mean old billy goat back home in Beverly Hills? Never.
Then you gotta come over and check this out.
Okay, l guess l could be fashionably late, right? There you go.
That should support you.
The bait.
The disguises, The very pricey, high-tech, military surplus gadgets that l bought on credit card.
-Cool.
-Hey, don't touch that, l want to return this stuff in the morning.
And, our secret weapon.
Have we got all of our bases covered? l believe so.
Great.
Now all we need is Donna.
She's better not be flaking on us.
l haven't heard from her all day.
Uh, she got tied up, but she'll be here.
Well, a good spy has to be punctual.
Steve, Donna is not a good spy.
She's a very reluctant spy, actually.
Well, then why don't we do this without her.
Do you guys think you can handle this? Why not? We can give it a try.
Any of these safe to eat? Well, yeah, if you want to spend the night in the bathroom with the squirts.
l'll pass.
A federal subpoena for Ferdinando Quintero? What are you doing with this? Human Rights lnternational has filed a civil suit against him, on behalf of this gardener at the school.
This will keep him in the U.
S.
to face the charges.
Well, good.
Let the courts sort it out.
Yeah, but there's a problem.
Quintero's security won't let anyone near enough to serve the paper.
So what does this got to do with you? They want me to serve it.
They know l have access.
They know he trusts me.
Brandon, this goes way beyond helping out some campus political group.
We're talking about a head of state, here.
l know Dad, but l've seen the scars on this guy, they're real.
Honey, l just don't think you should get yourself mixed up in this.
-For your own security.
-Tell me about it.
Quintero's got some pretty hardcore bodyguards.
You don't have to do this.
l know l don't have to do it, Dad, but if l don't do it, then l really am the Chancellor's lackey.
Brandon, this is crazy.
You're just a student.
And who do you think was standing in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square, Mom.
Who toppled the Berlin Wall? Students just like me.
lt sounds to me like you've already made up your mind.
Yeah, l guess l have.
Excuse me, do you have change for a dollar.
Well, normally l'm very stingy with my quarters, but l just put in my last load, so Thanks.
lt's tough to find a generous soul in a place like this.
lt's a dog-eat-dog when it comes to pay laundry service, isn't it? -No, no, please.
-Take it, No.
l owe you a cup of coffee, Okay.
Are you premed? Med, actually.
At UCLA.
l'm studying to be a doctor, too.
-Pediatrics? -Maybe.
Why? Well, you, uh, you seem to have a way with kids.
Well, l'm learning.
So, we're a couple of wild students, aren't we? Laundry and baby-sitting on a Friday night.
Baby-sitting? You are responsible for this child, aren't you? You're not just rocking a perfect stranger to sleep? No.
No, l'm definitely responsible for Hannah.
Well, hi there, Hannah.
Hey Hannah, what's your baby-sitter's name? My name's Andrea.
Peter.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Well, pull up a washer, Andrea-- l've got a spin cycle or two to kill.
l never thought l'd find such good company in the Laundromat.
You're just saying that because you want some more quarters.
Right.
Shh.
All right, remember guys, no guts no glory.
Give me a test.
Testing, one, two, three.
You're set.
Okay, we'll signal when we've done the deed.
Ready, Kel? l guess this is what's known as ''the old college try.
'' Go get 'em, girls.
Hi, guys.
Anyone for brownies? Hey, well, that's nice of you.
Well, we were just at our meeting and we were talking.
And we think you guys deserve a reward for taking such good care of Bruno.
What meeting? The Alphas.
Oh, really? You know my cousin's an Alpha, Kira Lewis.
-Kira is a good friend of ours.
-Yeah.
Cool.
Thanks.
You know, the cook should always have the first bite.
l mean, it's only fair.
Please.
l logged enough calories just licking the bowl.
l break out in horrible hives when l eat chocolate.
Oh.
Too bad.
You know, my girlfriend's an Alpha.
She didn't say anything about a meeting tonight.
Well, uh Okay, you caught us.
We really didn't bake these brownies for you.
We baked them for the Alpha meeting we thought we had tonight.
So they're secondhand brownies, okay.
But they're still homemade by us, and it would really hurt our feelings if you didn't at least have one.
There you go.
Thanks.
l'll take two.
Hey.
She is just about the sweetest thing l've ever seen.
l don't want to leave here.
Well, you can stay as long as you want.
We're on a long-term lease.
lt's so nice here, but what happens after Halloween? Well, next big rush is Christmas.
And then there's craft fairs, swap meets, nothing fancy.
Well, sometimes fancy is overrated.
Yeah, sometimes.
Well, l guess l made you pretty late for whatever you had planned tonight, huh? Yeah, a little more than that.
l think l missed it altogether.
Are you sorry? Not really.
So when are you going to invite me to a power dinner with your father and world leaders? Be careful what you ask for, it might come true.
Well, l wouldn't mind.
l mean, don't you think it's about time l met your father? He's met Brandon enough times.
Sure.
We'll do it soon, okay? Hey, guys.
Hey, Brandon.
Kelly's out.
Yeah, l know.
Actually, l came to talk to you.
Well, don't let me get in your way.
Thanks, bro.
l don't believe what you're telling me.
lt's something l got to do.
Ruining the career of a man who has done you no harm, who's laid up with cancer, for God's sake this is something you have to do? Clare, if you met this gardener, you'd understand.
Doesn't it mean anything to you that Nando is our closest family friend? Yes, it does-- that's why l'm here.
Oh, isn't that big of you.
Did you really expect me to be appeased that easily? No, l didn't expect that.
Well, l certainly hope not, 'cause you'd be dead wrong.
And l'm telling you right now, Brandon, if you do this, l am never gonna speak to you again.
Well, then l guess we won't be speaking.
Am l in the wrong apartment? No.
This is the place.
Aren't you supposed to be mixing gin and tonics at Doheny's? And making eyes at the female clientele.
Right.
Well l had the overwhelming urge to stay home tonight and make eyes at you instead.
Mm.
So you're, uh, playing hooky? Yup.
And you are going to play with me.
Let me just put this little lady to bed.
Come on, let's go, sweet pea.
Oh, yeah.
And then the real fun begins.
Bring it on.
Wh-What was that you said? l said, do you think we're gonna beat CU tomorrow? Hey, Ted, stay here, man-- l got to go to the bathroom.
Oh, man, so do l.
Something wrong, guys? Uh, no, no.
-l'll be right back.
-Yeah, me, too.
What about the bear? Man, they can watch the bear.
Won't you? No problem.
Sounds like the brownies are taking their toll.
Yeah! lt's a done deal! Brandon Walsh to see Chancellor Chancellor Arnold's expecting you.
Good evening, sir.
You shouldn't have involved Clare in this, Brandon.
She told you l was coming, huh? l'm disappointed in you.
Well, l'm sorry to hear that, sir, but how do you explain being friends with a murderer? Oh, Brandon, Brandon, it's not that simple.
When Quintero asked me to head up the economic reform in his country, l knew that he was offering me the power to improve the lives of literally millions of people.
But at what cost? How many people were killed in the process? Believe me, l asked myself all the hard questions, and l chose to compromise out of what l've got to believe was a bigger cause.
Excuse me.
What my good old friend is trying to say is that is the price you pay for democracy.
With all due respect, sir, your country is not a democracy.
When my country is as old as yours, then we will see how history judges us, but until then President Walsh, l understand you have something for me.
Thank you.
That wasn't so hard, was it? l'm sorry.
Don't be.
You did what you had to do just like l did.
And you'll see there's always a price.
So, are you gonna be in the doghouse with your friends? Yeah, probably.
Well, you could blame it on me.
Well, you did have something to do with it.
You know, l'm usually very responsible.
l don't know what came over me tonight.
Well, whatever it is, it suits you.
Thank you.
Donna, listen, uh l'm not gonna call you again.
You're not? No, l'm gonna wait to hear from you this time.
Oh.
Okay.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Valerie? ln the bathroom.
Oh, you're going out again tonight? Yeah, Steve and l are gonna celebrate a little bit longer.
Uh, l thought l just saw him leave.
Yeah, he, uh, he had to get back to the fraternity house.
Oh.
Do you think l could borrow the car to meet him? Yeah, sure-- the keys are downstairs.
Thanks.
-Have a good time.
-l will.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Same time, same station.
Yeah, l c-can't do it tonight.
What do you mean? Tonight's no good.
Well, l don't get it.
Well, you're a smart girl, Val-- figure it out.
Who is she? Nobody you'd know.
Eh, she's nobody l know, really.
Thanks a lot, Dylan.
Look, don't start that with me, all right? lt's not like we're a steady thing, remember? And you don't let me forget it for a second.
ln international news, Ferdinand Quintero, President of Selanesia, announced that he will resign his post due to health reasons.
He is presently in Los Angeles receiving treatment for advanced liver cancer.
Nothing about the subpoena.
l guess they're trying to keep it under wraps.
How'd he take it last night? Gracefully.
l think he knows by the time the case actually goes to court, he'll be long gone.
He's that sick? Yeah, l don't think he's got long, Mom.
Coming up in sports-- the SCU mascot mysteriously disappears on the day of the big game against rival CU.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
On behalf of the Greek Council and in honor our homecoming, my cochair Kelly Taylor and l are very pleased to present a very special transfer student from SCU.
Kelly.
Please welcome Bruno the Bear! You know, l missed you last night.
Oh, well, it looks like you guys did great without me.
l didn't say ''we,'' l said ''l.
'' l missed you.
Aw Well, l missed you, too.
Hey, you know, Steve's father should be pretty impressed with this.
Or threatened-- they're so competitive.
Unlike us, huh? l guess l have been kind of hard on you.
But after last night, l think it's time to make you an honorary Alpha member.
Really? Thanks.
You're welcome.
Steve, if l had a hat on, it would be off to you, brother.
Well, thank you very much, brother.
David, Clare, come here! Hey, buddy.
What's going on, man? How you doing? All right, all right.
Hey, you guys missed the unveiling.
Yeah, well, l've been, uh, talking Clare into coming to the game.
Hi.
l'm sorry, did-did you just say something to me? Well, if Nando's still talking to my dad after he let you in, l guess l can still talk to you, too.
l can't say l'm sorry.
Well, my dad taught me something about separating friendship from politics.
Yeah, me, too.
Hey, guys! lf you're gonna talk about politics all day long, we're gonna miss the kickoff.
Come on, everybody, to the field! Wow! You know what, you go ahead without me.
l'll catch up with you.
Okay.
Hey.
How you doing? Better than l have been in a long time.
You're a brave boy, Brandon, just like my brother was.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
You bet.
Take care.
Thank you.
-Mission accomplished.
-Right.
l still don't think this is gonna work.
Hey, show a little faith, will you? Do you think anyone can tell we don't go here? Well, your C.
U.
Alpha pin might have given it away.
Donna! What? l forgot l had it on.
Details, Donna.
Details.
A good spy doesn't forget the details.
Hey, l never said l wanted to be a spy.
Oh, well, it's a little late for that now.
Can't we just make, like, a big float and call it a day? Hey, you volunteered for the Greek Homecoming Committee.
Stealing the SCU mascot comes with the territory.
So, how many times has it been stolen? Once.
and some of his KEG brothers pulled this off.
And it is definitely time for history to repeat itself.
Exactly where are we going? Right there.
l didn't know it was so tall.
Looks heavy, too.
Well, we're not gonna do anything right now, right? Of course not.
This is a fact-finding mission.
Well, the fact is it's way too big to move.
Not to mention those two guys standing guard over there.
You think they're always there? Probably 24 hours a day, until Saturday's game.
What now, Mr.
Bond? Ferdinand! How are you? lt's about time you paid us a visit.
How are Cora and the boys? They are mad at me because l didn't bring them.
Arnold, they are dying to see you.
Well, they have a standing invitation, as always.
President Quintero, may l present Professor Evan Clay of our lnternational Studies Department.
l've read your latest book.
And Professor Lin Suhoto, of our Asian Studies Department.
Professor Suhoto did her thesis on Selanesia.
On your educational reform.
Fantastic! l'd like to have a look at it Now here is the real reason why l came all the way to the States! Hi, Nando! Hi, how are you? President Quintero.
Dad, you're so formal.
Your father's an old stick-in-the-mud.
So, how is my Clare? Couldn't be better.
Oh, have you met Brandon yet? Brandon! Brandon Walsh, l'd like you to meet President Quintero.
A pleasure to meet you, sir.
My pleasure.
Besides being Clare's boyfriend, Brandon is also student body president of California University.
A fellow chief executive.
Well, he doesn't get perks like you do though.
No private jet? l'm still working on a parking space.
Oh, we'll handle that in due time, Brandon.
Let's all go in the living room.
What was that comment about me being your boyfriend? Don't ask me.
l can't help it if he lives in a fantasy world.
So, your father and Quintero are pretty tight, huh? Yeah, they met at Wharton.
Actually, he introduced my mom and dad.
No wonder it's such a happy reunion.
Well, it's not, exactly.
Can you keep a secret? Sure.
Nando's here for treatment at CU Medical Center.
He has liver cancer.
l'm sorry.
ls your father still having the reception here for him tonight? Yeah, and you better be here.
Let's face it, this bear heist is a wash.
There is no way l'm going back to the Greek Council and telling them that we can't pull this off, okay? Well, if we could just figure out how to lose those guards for a few moments Valerie.
Come on over here and help us brainstorm for this homecoming stunt.
Sure.
What do you have in mind? We need to steal something that's under Not to mention ten feet tall and 200 pounds.
ln other words, mission: impossible.
Hmm.
You know, l knew a couple girls at SUNY Buffalo who had to create a distraction kind of like this.
ln fact, it was exactly like this.
Well, if you've got a plan, we could sure use one.
The only thing is though, it could be a little cruel.
Cruel is okay.
Cruel is preferable.
Sit down.
Thanks.
Oh, she should be down for at least an hour.
Oh, good.
We could use the quiet.
How would you like to take a little cat nap with me? l'm sorry, sweetie.
l meant quiet so l could study.
Guess you could turn it on for the women at work, but not for your own wife, right? Oh, God, are we back to this again? Yeah, l guess we are.
Look, l've told you a million times, a good bartender always flirts with the women customers a little.
Right, so you can end up with more cash in your pocket when you get home-- l've heard that before, Okay? But that's just the way it is, okay? No, it's not okay! lt's seedy.
Oh, come on-- it's not like anything goes on with these women.
You know it doesn't mean anything.
lt does! lt means that we hardly have any time together, and then when we do, all you want to do is study! Look, l have to study.
Look, we're both really busy right now, all right? lt's just bad timing.
Jesse, l'm worried about us.
Well, don't be.
We're okay.
We're okay.
Come in.
Brandon Walsh? Wow.
You guys are my first visitors.
-Welcome.
-Hi, l'm Kaye Whitney.
We met during the campaign.
You're Josh's friend.
You canvassed for us, right? Congratulations, belatedly.
-And this is Ben Lerner.
-Hey.
We're the cochairs of the CU chapter of Human Rights lnternational.
Josh was on our executive board.
Yeah, l remember.
What can l do for you guys? Well, uh, it's going around that the president of Selanesia is here on campus.
Ferdinand Quintero.
l met him this morning.
You actually pressed flesh with the Butcher, huh? -The Butcher? -Brandon, did you know that last year there were over 450 incidents of torture -in his country? -That's right.
Whippings, beatings-- government-sanctioned.
And you're saying Quintero knows about this? Quintero orders it.
This guy is a murderer.
He shouldn't be on our campus.
He's an enemy to the people.
Look, guys, he's not here on a political visit.
He's here as Chancellor Arnold's personal guest.
Well, we're going to make his visit as unpleasant as possible.
Now, are you, as our student body president, with us or not? Listen admittedly, l don't know that much about the state of affairs in Selanesia, but l just met this guy.
He seems like a normal person.
Your ignorance is showing, Walsh.
Brandon, we know what we're talking about.
We wouldn't be here otherwise.
You're wasting your breath, Kaye.
You remember what Alex Diaz said about this guy.
You really are the chancellor's lackey, aren't you? lt was a pleasure, guys.
Guess who? Ray, hi! Hi.
What're you working on? lt's a promo for the Admissions Office.
l'm trying to pick out the prettiest parts of campus to use.
Well, why don't you just use a shot of yourself, talking about how much you like it here? You're one of the prettiest things l've seen on campus.
You are smooth, aren't you? Well, despite the rough edges.
Actually, l, uh, came to say good-bye.
Why? Where are you going? Well, we're done with the job here.
You can now consider your college completely earthquake-safe, unless we get a shaker over 9.
2.
Uh-oh.
Here it comes.
Anyway.
Uh So long.
Well, l was kinda getting used to you being around.
Well, why don't you give me your phone number and l'll be sure to be ''around'' again.
Um What? ls someone already carrying your books home from school? Sort of.
Well, l can compete with ''sort of.
'' That's not what l meant.
l meant l already have a boyfriend.
Oh.
Well, lucky him.
How serious is this boyfriend? l don't know yet.
Well, he couldn't have too much of a lead on me then.
Mm-mm.
Well, then, respectfully, l'm gonna ask for your phone number one more time.
Clare, tell me something.
What do you know about torture going on in Quintero's country? Torture? Brandon, that's absurd.
That's not what Human Rights lnternational says.
Yeah, well, that group's been all over Nando right from the beginning.
So you have heard of this? Yeah, but there's no truth to it.
How do you know? Because, Brandon, l've been there.
My father worked with Nando on the reforms.
l practically watched them install democracy in that country.
Besides, do you really think my father's gonna be friends with a butcher? l wouldn't think so.
Now, the baker and the candlestick maker, maybe, but the butcher, no way.
So, do you think it would blow Jim and Cindy away if l didn't come home until morning? Mm, what do you think? They're so wholesome and Midwest it kills me.
What happened to you then? Actually, l'm working with the Homecoming Committee this weekend on a caper.
Very apple pie of me, don't you think? l suppose.
Well, l don't want to shatter the image just yet.
Same time, same station tomorrow? l don't know.
Let's not get in a rut here, okay? No rut.
Neither of us want anything heavy here, Dylan.
Yeah, well, just so long as we remember that.
Got burned out on the real thing, huh? l'm just taking a breather.
You were really in love with Brenda, weren't you? That was a long time ago.
And Kelly? What is this, 20 questions? l just want to know who you loved more, the blonde or the brunette? Why? You thinking of dyeing your hair? Maybe.
Look, don't go falling in love here, okay? l'm not looking for love.
Good, because things are getting too cozy between us as it is.
You already know more about me than you should.
l don't know why it's such a big secret that you lost your money.
Well, you don't have to know.
lt's my business.
That's the way l want to keep it, all right? Okay, l'll take it to the grave.
You better.
You should go.
Not yet.
As l recall, Arnold, it was your brilliant idea to hire local tribesmen to help us with our water purification.
We were in a very remote part of the jungle, but l had no way of knowing that people would be so superstitious.
After a few hours of digging, one of the men saw a white bird fly over the river.
And they promptly put down their tools and went into a deep meditation that lasted for two weeks.
Those were the days, l tell you.
Excuse me for interrupting, Mr.
President, but we have a demonstration outside.
l believe you'll be more secure upstairs.
A demonstration? lt's about 12 people.
They look like students.
Only 12? l must be losing my edge.
Ferdinand, l'm, l'm so sorry.
You don't have to apologize, Arnold.
Besides, l'm feeling a little tired.
Uh, good night.
l'll see you off.
Thank you.
Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! Quintero kills! l know people have the right to demonstrate, but did they really have to ruin Nando's first night here? Well, at least it ended peacefully.
Speak of the devils President Walsh, we meet again.
Gilbert and Sullivan, that was quite a show you put on tonight.
You should have been there.
Josh would have been there.
Actually, l was there.
l was inside.
Now, why doesn't that surprise me? l was there, too.
And you people are completely wrong about Quintero.
Oh, yeah? Why don't you read our latest report on Selanesia, then come tell me how wrong we are about him.
Right.
Just because it's in print, that makes it true.
You know, for your information, Quintero is the best leader Selanesia's ever had.
l'll see you outside.
Look, guys, let's try to find some common ground here, huh? Forget it, Walsh.
You're either with us or you're in the enemy camp.
You can't throw bouquets to both sides.
All right, l'll read your pamphlet, but a little real proof wouldn't hurt.
You want real proof? l can get it for you.
Yeah, tomorrow after lunch sounds great.
Okay, l like surprises.
l'll see you then.
Bye.
Does this mean it's done, or it needs more time? Look.
l don't know.
lsn't there, like, a culinary hotline we can call or something? Well, l'm gonna make an educated guess and take 'em out.
Valerie said they shouldn't be overcooked.
Was that Griffin on the phone? No, Ray.
-Ray? -Mm-hmm.
We're going out tomorrow.
But we're stealing the bear tomorrow night with your boyfriend, remember? l'll be there.
Look, will you just cover for me tomorrow afternoon? This is very naughty of you.
What are you doing? l don't know.
He's surprising me.
Donna, this guy could be a mass murderer, for all you know.
Oh! Don't be ridiculous.
lt's not like he's a stranger or anything.
What? l've seen him on campus, at the Peach Pit.
He even came to the TV station today, okay? Well, then he's practically family.
l like him.
l trust him.
Famous last words.
-Hey.
-Hey.
What're you doing here? l thought you'd be at the SU pep rally.
Believe me, l'd rather be there than here.
Yeah, you and me both.
Unfortunately, my physics teacher doesn't have that homecoming spirit, so l'll be doing laundry and studying all weekend.
Ooh, have you ever become domestic.
You're telling me.
So what's the topic? Human Rights lnternational.
What do you think of them? l think they're excellent.
-Really? -Mm-hmm.
'Cause they sure have some damning things to say about Selanesia.
Listen to this: ''Citizens report the following ''as routine police interrogation methods: ''whipping with rattan canes, burning flesh with cigarettes, the use of electric shocks--'' to parts of the body you really don't need to hear about -That's disgusting.
-Yeah.
Clare swears it's all fabricated.
Well, personally, l'd take whatever they say pretty seriously.
l mean, they don't have anything on their agenda outside of protecting life.
Clare, where does your father keep the soy sauce? Oh, in the cupboard right there.
He doesn't cook at all anymore.
Oh, that's a shame, a real shame.
You know, your father and mother were gourmet chefs.
Well, maybe that's why.
You know, he doesn't want to be reminded.
But you're a reminder every day.
Clare, you look more and more like her.
Excuse me, a Brandon Walsh to see you, sir.
Oh, fine.
Send him in.
Brandon, just in time.
We need a third opinion on this sauce.
-Here.
-Thanks.
lt's good.
Great, that's what we wanted to hear.
Clare, get this young man an apron.
Oh, uh, you may leave us alone, thank you.
Security, it's one aspect of this job l've never gotten used to.
Fortunately, l don't have to deal with bodyguards quite yet.
Tell me, what do you have to contend with? What do you find most difficult as school president? Not being able to please everyone is the hardest thing, l think.
l know the feeling.
l live with it every day.
Which isn't to say it doesn't hurt.
Didn't seem to bother you last night, with the demonstration and all.
Brandon, a good leader must have a thick skin.
l'll remember that.
There is a saying: ''lf you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
'' You're gonna love this, it's wonderful.
Think it's ready for MTV? Yeah, absolutely.
Well, end of the show.
Would you mind putting this back in the glove compartment for me? Sure.
Uh, so, so, where, where, where are we going? lt's a surprise.
ln fact, uh, why don't you close your eyes? Donna, this guy could be a mass murderer, for all you know.
Oh, my God! lt's great, isn't it? ''Pruit Family Pumpkins''? Yeah, it's a family business.
l told my Aunt Marie we'd come by and help her out.
lt's prime selling season.
You can't carve a pumpkin without a good knife.
Right.
Hey, bud.
Hey, bud.
What's going on? Well, we're doing a virtual reenactment of the Great Mascot Heist of '64.
You're kidding.
l'm telling you Brandon, lightning is going to strike twice.
Think you can make it? Uh, no promises.
l've got to deal with this right now.
All right, don't work too hard.
All right.
Later, bud.
What's going on, Kaye? Want to go for another round? No.
l thought l'd take you up on your ''common ground'' idea.
Brandon Walsh, this is Mawn Yoto.
l've seen you around campus.
You do the gardening, right? Can we go in your office? Sure.
So what's all this about? You said you needed proof.
Mawn is from Selanesia.
His brother edited a newspaper there, wrote some stuff, critical stuff about the government.
Quintero wanted to have him shut up.
ls this true? Mawn was grabbed by the police when he was at the market, and ordered to say his brother planted a bomb in a government building.
When he refused, they tortured him.
Wait a second, whose story is this? Can't he speak for himself? lt's okay, you can trust him.
They questioned me every day.
When l wouldn't cooperate, they beat me.
Over and over again.
After a week l couldn't stand it anymore.
l signed a statement against my brother.
We found him by the side of a road.
Shot in the head.
l can't believe it.
Show him, Mawn.
Look.
Quintero himself ordered this done.
Now are you ready to help us? What do you want me to do? Aunt Marie, will you ring this up for these folks here? Happy Halloween.
So, what do you think? You're a natural.
Hey, l've been making jack-o-lanterns for years.
Roasting the seeds, making pumpkin pie, all ritual at the Martin house.
Well, around here, the animals get first crack at the pumpkin food.
Have you seen the petting zoo yet? No.
Aunt Marie put me right to work.
Well, come on, it's feeding time.
Oh, actually, it's getting pretty late.
Maybe l better skip it.
Donna Donna, how many newborn goats -have you seen in your life? -None that l can think of.
How often do you get to feed a mean old billy goat back home in Beverly Hills? Never.
Then you gotta come over and check this out.
Okay, l guess l could be fashionably late, right? There you go.
That should support you.
The bait.
The disguises, The very pricey, high-tech, military surplus gadgets that l bought on credit card.
-Cool.
-Hey, don't touch that, l want to return this stuff in the morning.
And, our secret weapon.
Have we got all of our bases covered? l believe so.
Great.
Now all we need is Donna.
She's better not be flaking on us.
l haven't heard from her all day.
Uh, she got tied up, but she'll be here.
Well, a good spy has to be punctual.
Steve, Donna is not a good spy.
She's a very reluctant spy, actually.
Well, then why don't we do this without her.
Do you guys think you can handle this? Why not? We can give it a try.
Any of these safe to eat? Well, yeah, if you want to spend the night in the bathroom with the squirts.
l'll pass.
A federal subpoena for Ferdinando Quintero? What are you doing with this? Human Rights lnternational has filed a civil suit against him, on behalf of this gardener at the school.
This will keep him in the U.
S.
to face the charges.
Well, good.
Let the courts sort it out.
Yeah, but there's a problem.
Quintero's security won't let anyone near enough to serve the paper.
So what does this got to do with you? They want me to serve it.
They know l have access.
They know he trusts me.
Brandon, this goes way beyond helping out some campus political group.
We're talking about a head of state, here.
l know Dad, but l've seen the scars on this guy, they're real.
Honey, l just don't think you should get yourself mixed up in this.
-For your own security.
-Tell me about it.
Quintero's got some pretty hardcore bodyguards.
You don't have to do this.
l know l don't have to do it, Dad, but if l don't do it, then l really am the Chancellor's lackey.
Brandon, this is crazy.
You're just a student.
And who do you think was standing in front of the tanks in Tiananmen Square, Mom.
Who toppled the Berlin Wall? Students just like me.
lt sounds to me like you've already made up your mind.
Yeah, l guess l have.
Excuse me, do you have change for a dollar.
Well, normally l'm very stingy with my quarters, but l just put in my last load, so Thanks.
lt's tough to find a generous soul in a place like this.
lt's a dog-eat-dog when it comes to pay laundry service, isn't it? -No, no, please.
-Take it, No.
l owe you a cup of coffee, Okay.
Are you premed? Med, actually.
At UCLA.
l'm studying to be a doctor, too.
-Pediatrics? -Maybe.
Why? Well, you, uh, you seem to have a way with kids.
Well, l'm learning.
So, we're a couple of wild students, aren't we? Laundry and baby-sitting on a Friday night.
Baby-sitting? You are responsible for this child, aren't you? You're not just rocking a perfect stranger to sleep? No.
No, l'm definitely responsible for Hannah.
Well, hi there, Hannah.
Hey Hannah, what's your baby-sitter's name? My name's Andrea.
Peter.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Well, pull up a washer, Andrea-- l've got a spin cycle or two to kill.
l never thought l'd find such good company in the Laundromat.
You're just saying that because you want some more quarters.
Right.
Shh.
All right, remember guys, no guts no glory.
Give me a test.
Testing, one, two, three.
You're set.
Okay, we'll signal when we've done the deed.
Ready, Kel? l guess this is what's known as ''the old college try.
'' Go get 'em, girls.
Hi, guys.
Anyone for brownies? Hey, well, that's nice of you.
Well, we were just at our meeting and we were talking.
And we think you guys deserve a reward for taking such good care of Bruno.
What meeting? The Alphas.
Oh, really? You know my cousin's an Alpha, Kira Lewis.
-Kira is a good friend of ours.
-Yeah.
Cool.
Thanks.
You know, the cook should always have the first bite.
l mean, it's only fair.
Please.
l logged enough calories just licking the bowl.
l break out in horrible hives when l eat chocolate.
Oh.
Too bad.
You know, my girlfriend's an Alpha.
She didn't say anything about a meeting tonight.
Well, uh Okay, you caught us.
We really didn't bake these brownies for you.
We baked them for the Alpha meeting we thought we had tonight.
So they're secondhand brownies, okay.
But they're still homemade by us, and it would really hurt our feelings if you didn't at least have one.
There you go.
Thanks.
l'll take two.
Hey.
She is just about the sweetest thing l've ever seen.
l don't want to leave here.
Well, you can stay as long as you want.
We're on a long-term lease.
lt's so nice here, but what happens after Halloween? Well, next big rush is Christmas.
And then there's craft fairs, swap meets, nothing fancy.
Well, sometimes fancy is overrated.
Yeah, sometimes.
Well, l guess l made you pretty late for whatever you had planned tonight, huh? Yeah, a little more than that.
l think l missed it altogether.
Are you sorry? Not really.
So when are you going to invite me to a power dinner with your father and world leaders? Be careful what you ask for, it might come true.
Well, l wouldn't mind.
l mean, don't you think it's about time l met your father? He's met Brandon enough times.
Sure.
We'll do it soon, okay? Hey, guys.
Hey, Brandon.
Kelly's out.
Yeah, l know.
Actually, l came to talk to you.
Well, don't let me get in your way.
Thanks, bro.
l don't believe what you're telling me.
lt's something l got to do.
Ruining the career of a man who has done you no harm, who's laid up with cancer, for God's sake this is something you have to do? Clare, if you met this gardener, you'd understand.
Doesn't it mean anything to you that Nando is our closest family friend? Yes, it does-- that's why l'm here.
Oh, isn't that big of you.
Did you really expect me to be appeased that easily? No, l didn't expect that.
Well, l certainly hope not, 'cause you'd be dead wrong.
And l'm telling you right now, Brandon, if you do this, l am never gonna speak to you again.
Well, then l guess we won't be speaking.
Am l in the wrong apartment? No.
This is the place.
Aren't you supposed to be mixing gin and tonics at Doheny's? And making eyes at the female clientele.
Right.
Well l had the overwhelming urge to stay home tonight and make eyes at you instead.
Mm.
So you're, uh, playing hooky? Yup.
And you are going to play with me.
Let me just put this little lady to bed.
Come on, let's go, sweet pea.
Oh, yeah.
And then the real fun begins.
Bring it on.
Wh-What was that you said? l said, do you think we're gonna beat CU tomorrow? Hey, Ted, stay here, man-- l got to go to the bathroom.
Oh, man, so do l.
Something wrong, guys? Uh, no, no.
-l'll be right back.
-Yeah, me, too.
What about the bear? Man, they can watch the bear.
Won't you? No problem.
Sounds like the brownies are taking their toll.
Yeah! lt's a done deal! Brandon Walsh to see Chancellor Chancellor Arnold's expecting you.
Good evening, sir.
You shouldn't have involved Clare in this, Brandon.
She told you l was coming, huh? l'm disappointed in you.
Well, l'm sorry to hear that, sir, but how do you explain being friends with a murderer? Oh, Brandon, Brandon, it's not that simple.
When Quintero asked me to head up the economic reform in his country, l knew that he was offering me the power to improve the lives of literally millions of people.
But at what cost? How many people were killed in the process? Believe me, l asked myself all the hard questions, and l chose to compromise out of what l've got to believe was a bigger cause.
Excuse me.
What my good old friend is trying to say is that is the price you pay for democracy.
With all due respect, sir, your country is not a democracy.
When my country is as old as yours, then we will see how history judges us, but until then President Walsh, l understand you have something for me.
Thank you.
That wasn't so hard, was it? l'm sorry.
Don't be.
You did what you had to do just like l did.
And you'll see there's always a price.
So, are you gonna be in the doghouse with your friends? Yeah, probably.
Well, you could blame it on me.
Well, you did have something to do with it.
You know, l'm usually very responsible.
l don't know what came over me tonight.
Well, whatever it is, it suits you.
Thank you.
Donna, listen, uh l'm not gonna call you again.
You're not? No, l'm gonna wait to hear from you this time.
Oh.
Okay.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Valerie? ln the bathroom.
Oh, you're going out again tonight? Yeah, Steve and l are gonna celebrate a little bit longer.
Uh, l thought l just saw him leave.
