Melrose Place s05e23 Episode Script

That was incredible.
I never thought that it would be so good.
I think this calls for a celebration, and I got just what we need.
I'll be right back.
There's a bottle of the good stuff here somewhere.
I've been saving it for this moment.
You know, Amanda, we make a great team in business, and in bed.
I can't wait to see their expressions at D&D.
How about a toast? As far as I'm concerned, this never happened.
This never will happen again, and if you breathe a word of this to one living soul, I'll have to kill you.
Okay, okay, I'll be discreet.
But Amanda, we had something going here.
Amanda, come on.
Don't leave.
Amanda, don't do this.
Okay tonight was great.
You know what, it was better than great.
Hey, I know that you felt it.
I know you felt something.
Would you just shut up? Amanda? That goes for you, too.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Do you think they actually slept together? Yeah, in Craig's dreams.
No, no, didn't you just hear what he said? Of course the guy was trying, but even Amanda wouldn't sink that low.
Good morning.
Not really.
Your wife punched me out yesterday.
She Are you all right? Oh, I'm fine, but she obviously knows about us.
Yes, she does.
I saw her yesterday.
She was watching us while we were She saw us making love? And you knew about it, and you didn't say anything? I didn't see much point.
Not much point? Peter, she could tell Kyle now.
This whole thing could fall apart.
I mean, there's no telling what he would do.
I might not be able to see you again.
Wait This was never about you and me, was it? This was about you and Amanda.
Why should I even come here anymore? I don't know.
You've been after me since day one like some Some desperate school girl who thinks I'm just gonna whisk her off her feet to some magical kingdom.
Well, get a grip.
I'm married by a thread and so are you, so if you think it's time to end this, well, then fine.
Maybe you ought to go.
Maybe we can at least salvage the rest of our lives.
I don't know why I keep coming here, but I can't stop thinking about you.
And it makes me sick what I'm doing to Kyle, but I can't help it.
Just don't hate me.
Don't worry.
That's an emotion I generally reserve for myself.
Hey, Kyle.
Hey.
Oh, you just missed a call from Nick.
He said he needs his last paycheck and he's gone.
Fine, I'll mail it to him.
Did he leave a forwarding address? Yeah, uh Constitution Hotel on Wilshire.
Taylor been in yet? No, I figured she'd be sleeping in this morning though after getting decked yesterday.
What are you talking about? Who got decked? Your wife, by that blonde that used to do our ads Amanda something? Walks up to Taylor and cold-cocks her.
Uh, she didn't tell you? No no.
She doesn't like to talk about the ones she loses.
Um, I'm gonna go see if she's okay.
Will you be home if I need you? No, she just joined that new gym up the street, so I'm going to go check there.
She works out every morning now.
Or so she says.
Excuse me, you know, my husband must have the key.
Could you let me in? We're really not allowed to do that.
That's all right, I won't tell.
Looking for those nasty tapes I made of you? Give me the tapes, Josh! I mean it! Those tapes go public, it could ruin Michael's career and our marriage.
And I'm not gonna let you do that to me.
I'll kill you first! Sweetheart, sweetheart, I don't want to wreck your married life.
She does.
She who? You know who I'm talking about.
The lady who wants him back for herself.
Now, uh, if you wanna kill me, go ahead.
Pour me a drink first.
Kimberly? That's okay, I'll pour.
Yep, Kimberly, that's her name.
She fixed my parole by telling the board she had a job waiting for me.
Of course, she didn't mention the job was getting you to turn tricks again.
She couldn't have.
I know Kimberly.
She wouldn't do that to me.
Sad, isn't it what people will stoop to? The thing is, you don't want to go back to the johns and I don't want to go back to the joint, so we might as well join forces just like the old days.
What do you mean? Make Kimberly think you turned pro again so she keeps me out of prison.
Then she tells your husband you're hustling.
That would prove that I'm not, and she looks like a fool.
Simplest thing in the book.
Yeah, you expect me to believe that you're just going to come to my rescue when this whole thing starts unraveling, Josh?! Megan, me and you are like family.
I'm the one you could always come back to.
I knew you since you were 15.
I hid you from the cops.
I gave you my last bite of food.
I even saved your life once.
I love you, girl.
I'd never do anything to hurt you.
Listen to me listen to me! Look, we'll do this, all right, and then after that we're done.
You walk You walk away.
And I still have Michael.
Did somebody page me? Someone's waiting for you.
Matt: Mom? Matt.
What are you doing here? Mom, what's the matter? What is it? It's your brother.
It's Luke.
He's been killed.
What? It was a It was a plane crash.
One of those small ones.
M-m-mom, are you sure? I just spoke to him last month.
He's dead, Matt.
He's dead.
What about Chelsea? She wasn't on the flight, thank God.
This makes her practically an orphan.
I mean, nobody's heard from her mother for years.
Okay, okay.
Look, let's sit down.
Look, we're going to get through this.
I will handle whatever needs to be done.
Where's Chelsea now? She's she's flying in tomorrow for the funeral.
After that, I I don't We'll take this one step at a time.
All right, I pick her up from the airport and we will go from there, okay? Yes? Are you okay? What's that supposed to mean? Well, it seems you're going through something with Craig I am not going through anything, all right? Craig is a child who happened to move into the wrong neighborhood.
No, Craig is a reptile.
I think you should watch your step, that's all.
I'm a big girl.
Yeah, you're a big girl in a bad place.
I know things aren't going well between you and Peter, and you know that Craig is going to try to exploit that.
Actually, I took advantage of him.
I was mad at Peter, and I did something really stupid, and now Craig thinks he's in love.
He'll survive just like I did.
Well, if it's any consolation, the time I used you, I knew you'd bounce back.
Aw, your confidence in me is very touching, Amanda.
I'm not such a nice person sometimes, am I? Apology accepted.
Long night, huh? Yeah.
Uh, we're low on chardonnay.
How was the gym this morning? What? You worked out at your new gym today, right? Yeah, I did.
It was fine.
Was it really fine? What are you talking about? I went there, Taylor.
You didn't.
I did, too.
You probably showed up after I left.
Actually, I talked to the manager and he checked his files, you're not a member there.
You've never even been in the place.
Well, you must have gone to the wrong gym.
No, I went to the one you told me to go to.
The one where you said you got this bruise on your face.
Only, I found out that's where Amanda popped you.
Now, why would she do something like that? Because she's crazy, and she has some paranoid fantasy and she won't leave me alone.
Look, I was nervous to tell you, especially after Nick's accusations, but I did hurt myself at the gym.
It's just a wild coincidence that it happens to be right where Amanda hit me, okay? And I don't know what gym you went looking for me at, but you obviously did not go to the gym I'm going to Don't, Taylor.
Don't say another word.
Kyle, where are you going? So, you've brought Josh into our lives.
What are you talking about? There's no point in denying it, Kimberly.
He told me you hired him.
I don't know who this Josh person is or how he got my name, but you can't blame me if this house of cards you built is finally coming down.
Look, you have no idea what you have done.
I'm sure none of this is as serious as you're making out.
Let me tell you about Josh, okay? He rescued me from my childhood when I was 15, My savior, my hero, my first lover.
And then he turned me into a whore.
It was degrading, and scary but he convinced me it was the only thing that I would ever be good at, that he was the only man that could ever love me.
And I believed him.
If he's such a problem for you maybe you should leave town.
I can give you some money.
You know, Kimberly, you are always trying to get rid of me.
I want you to stop that.
You used to be my friend.
I still am.
Let's not let this Josh, whoever he is, come between us.
Then stop lying about him, at least.
He told me that you're trying to pull me down so you can have Michael.
Kimberly, you don't understand.
Michael is my life raft.
He gave me back my dignity.
And now you're trying to take it away again? I would never hurt you, Megan.
You have to believe me.
Then how could you turn Josh loose on me? Look, he is an animal and he will not go away until he's had his fill.
I'm sure everything will be just fine.
I'm sure of it.
You told Megan about me.
You weren't supposed to.
Why'd you tell her, Josh? I didn't say a word.
She guessed, okay? Figured you had the motive.
You wanted your man back.
So you must have arranged the whole deal.
Yeah, well, the deal's off.
This is torturing her.
I'm pulling the plug.
Sorry, lady, but the ball's rolling now.
People have been paid.
Look it's all set up for tomorrow night.
The day after that, you can have.
Dr.
Mancini all to yourself again.
Okay what's your plan, Josh? A friend of mine is meeting her at the bar downstairs.
He'll bring her up here, and I'll make sure Mancini sees it all.
And you promise she won't get physically hurt in any way? Not her or the doctor.
It'll just put a strain on their relationship, So you can step in.
Yeah, and when this is over, you leave.
You have to swear to get out of our lives.
Cross my heart, and hope to die.
Hey I'm on parole, and you own the lease.
Why would I want to tick you off? Trust me, you wouldn't.
Craig: "Jazmeen perfume" Let the love begin.
" maybe Alison should do the pitch.
It's a little more believable coming from her.
Oh, sure, I have no problem with that.
Actually, I feel very strongly about the product.
My romantic side, I guess.
Well, romance and advertising don't mix, I'm afraid.
You know, you're too cynical, Amanda.
You gotta let yourself open up to your true feelings more.
My true feelings are cynical, Craig, and with good reason, in my experience.
Maybe we should just focus on the presentation itself.
Alison can start with the slogan Forget the slogan.
What we need to say is that when two people care about each other Perfume is not about caring.
It's about sexual manipulation.
It's about being overpowered by your desires, Amanda.
Why don't you just admit that? You know, why don't you just handle the meeting yourself? Amanda Take it easy there, ace.
You know, She wants to be left alone.
What are you, her personal secretary? Back off.
So let's talk perfume.
Hey, come on in.
Lunch is served.
Now, that is what I call service.
Well, hey, you know, I used to be in the service profession.
I know, I know, and I'm the proud beneficiary.
Michael how terrible would it be if everyone found out what I used to do? Don't worry about it, nobody's ever gonna find out.
I know, I know, but what if they did, I mean, like, your patients or the other doctors? Look, reputation is everything in my business, but even if they did learn you used to be a call girl, what's past is past.
This is America.
Everybody gets to invent themselves and who they are now.
Michael let's be newlyweds now.
I mean, we really never did have a honeymoon to speak of.
I just think we should go away for a week.
Get away from everything.
Look, I'd love to, babe, but business is skyrocketing.
You know, ever since Peter became chief-of-staff, I'm socked in with patients.
But just for a few days? No, I can't do it.
But I tell you what, what about a fancy dinner, huh? Um, I think I can free myself up tomorrow night.
Uh, tomorrow yeah, if we're around.
I'm kind of committed somewhere else.
Really? Where? Matt's mom's house.
You know, you heard that Matt's brother was killed, and I said I would go over and help set up the food after the funeral, you know, lend a hand.
You know, that is very sweet.
You know, I think service is in your blood.
Chelsea? Are you okay? Are you related to this young lady? Yeah, she's my niece, is there a problem? Yeah, you can call it that.
She got drunk on the plane.
Oh, you're kidding Chelsea! Are you okay? Can we go now? Yeah, sure, your grandmother's waiting for us.
Hold it, this girl's a minor.
I'm going to need a parent to release her to.
Yeah, well you're going to have to wait till your hair falls out there, fatso.
Chelsea! My deadbeat mom is in France and my dad's just dead, so All right, that's all I have to take of this.
We're going right back to the tank, okay? Wait, you know what She's not kidding.
Her father just passed away.
She's in for the funeral.
Will you cut her some slack, please? Look, I'm her uncle, I'll take responsibility.
See, same last name.
I'm a med student.
All right, take her.
Go, go on.
Thank you.
Yeah, sorry about your brother.
I appreciate it.
I'll get her out of here.
Got your paycheck.
Want a receipt? No, I want to talk.
Go find a shrink.
I want you to tell me about these pictures that you supposedly have of Taylor and Peter.
Supposedly? Suppose you just get the hell out of my room, we'll call it even.
She's been lying to me, Nick.
Aw, really? You know, that's hard to imagine.
I want to know what you know.
They pull a simple bait-and-switch on you with my photos, you turn me out in the cold, and now you want my help? I don't think you're ready for the truth yet, pal.
Try me.
You know, I protected you for a long time, Kyle.
You're on your own now.
What's this? Taylor's voice: You get that sound in your voice.
It makes me so excited, Peter.
I can feel your lips all over me again.
On my neck, on my mouth.
I can't get enough.
I wake up dreaming about it What the hell did you do that for? That's for not telling me as soon as you knew and for enjoying this too much.
Oh, where were you all night? You might have called.
I might have.
The question is, called where? Here? Peter's place? What, are you gonna get on me about what gym I belong to again? I talked to Nick.
Oh, that's a reliable source of information.
If you ask me, he swallowed a little too much nerve gas in the Gulf War.
That's not a very nice thing to say, is it? I'm sorry.
I thought you saw him for who he was now.
He played a tape for me.
What tape? It was you and Peter.
It sounded like one of those 900 numbers.
Something about you being hot underneath his palm.
Maybe you're gonna tell me that was Nick throwing his voice.
Well, you know, you had an affair in Boston, didn't you? Not quite the same thing, though, is it? That was accidental, it was short, and then it was over.
This thing with Peter was planned.
It was alibied Workouts at the gym, huh? Hmm, you must have had a good laugh.
We never laughed at you, baby.
If you ever call me baby again, I'm gonna rip your tongue out.
Hi.
You ought to lie down.
I can handle things here.
No, that's okay, couldn't sleep, anyway.
My mind just keeps working.
We'll have to take better care of each other from now on.
I'm going to go see to the coffee.
Helps if I can feel useful.
Would you mind checking on Chelsea? I think she's in the kitchen.
Thanks, honey.
Matt.
Awful sorry to hear about your brother.
Oh, you know, thanks, Michael.
It's been really weird Yeah, um, I'm looking for Megan.
You know where she is? No, actually.
She called earlier to apologize, said she wouldn't be able to come over and help me out.
At all? Excuse me.
Chelsea? Chelsea: Hello, I'm looking for a woman.
Her name is Denise Fielding.
She's my mother.
Well, this is the last address she gave me.
She wrote two years ago.
Wait, is this 48 Rue de Bois? Well, I don't know how to pronounce it! If I knew, then Hello? Hello? Damn it! What are you looking at? Anything I can do to help? No.
Must be hard not knowing anybody here.
I can handle it.
Phew.
You remind me of your father.
He was always the tough guy in the family.
Tell me about it.
I always used to fight with him.
Matter of fact, that was the last thing we did before he died.
I'm sorry.
Hey, he didn't die because he was angry with you though, any more than your mother left because she was.
You don't know squat about my mother, or me.
Why isn't she here? Peter, I need to see you.
I'm on rounds right now.
You think you could call me in my office? No, now! You all go ahead.
I'll catch up with you in a minute, thank you.
Taylor, you cannot come in here and interrupt Peter, Kyle knows! He knows everything.
Nick made a tape of our phone conversation the other night.
Okay, he knows.
We'll deal with it.
You don't know him like I do.
He is wound up like a spring.
And I'm afraid he's going to hurt someone.
I don't know what to do.
All right, settle down.
Settle down? I can't settle down! My marriage is over.
I don't know what to do.
Stop it! Look, we'll get through this, all right? We'll deal with it.
We'll deal with it together.
You'll be there for me, won't you? Please, just tell me that you'll be there for me.
Yeah, I'll be there.
I'll be there.
Please get out of my car.
Okay please give me $5,000.
I don't have that kind of money.
Look, you've ruined my life.
Can't you just leave me alone? I can and will, you little slut, but you kind of trashed my life, too.
And I want punitive damages, so here's the deal.
You got a bank account.
You got a restaurant with a big cash flow.
I want five grand by 6:00.
Right here.
I'll wait.
You're crazy.
I just overreact whenever I get angry.
You know, it's a Marine thing.
It's like my hands get a life of their own.
Sometimes they hurt people real bad.
Your boyfriend, for example, he can get hurt.
He can die.
You wouldn't do that.
$5,000.
Don't be late.
Kyle, we got a problem.
Nick stopped me.
He wants money Lots of it.
So I went to the bank, but they said that you emptied out the account.
Now, that's not fair because that is my money, too.
And it's not right for you Not right? Hmm? Look, I know you're angry with me, and you have every reason to be.
But if I don't get that money to Nick at the hospital parking lot by 6:00, he's going to kill Peter.
I've been packing up some of your stuff because I figured that, you know, you'd want to be out of here as soon as possible.
What do you want to do with the wedding crystal? Are you listening to me? He's going to kill Peter.
I don't care what you do with the crystal.
Fine.
Neither do I.
Kyle, I'm begging you.
Good, I'll remember you that way, Taylor.
Okay, we're all set.
The guy's name is Tony.
He's sitting right there at the bar in the blue suit.
Is Kimberly here? Don't worry.
Just go sit with Tony and offer yourself to him.
He'll pay you $300, which he owes me, and you two take the elevator up.
Then you can go home.
Kimberly will see just what you want her to.
I'm putting my life into your hands, here.
Just like old days, huh? Yeah.
Okay, we're all set.
But Michael's not around to see it happen.
Something's wrong.
We need to call the whole thing off.
Kimberly, I'm telling you, this is the only way you're going to get him back.
It's all gonna be over in a few painless minutes.
In fact, look.
It's a done deal.
Say bye-bye, Megan.
Megan! Megan, stop! You're under arrest for prostitution.
Let's go.
Josh, what are you doing? Why? It's my nature.
Officer: You have the right to remain silent.
Megan was right about you.
Yeah, Well, like I said before, me and her go way back.
As far as me and you are concerned, we're clear of each other.
Nobody owes nobody.
Is she gonna go to prison, Josh? You know, this could destroy her.
Yeah, well, you got what you wanted.
Let me worry about picking up the pieces! I'm going home now, but I'm on call, So you know how to reach me.
Yes, Dr.
Burns.
Have a good night.
Thanks.
Hey, slick.
Going my way? So now I've gotta leave town, I guess.
Sorry to hear that, Nick, but I'm sure wherever you wind up you're gonna land right on your feet.
You don't give a damn about anybody but yourself, do you? You take care, now.
Oh, and, um Dr.
Burns, if you would? Yeah? Die.
Sorry, doc.
This is just round one.
Stop it, you freak! Get off me! You watching this, Taylor? You're not gonna want to miss this.
Come on come on! Nick! That's enough.
No, it's not! I said knock it off, Nick! Stop it! I called the police and they're on their way.
Listen to me! That's enough, man.
You gotta get out of here, man.
Okay, you get out of here, you don't come back.
Don't let them find you.
Don't worry, you'll live.
No thanks to you and your psycho friend.
Peter.
Peter! It's okay.
This way, Right here.
Ahem Megan.
Michael! I guess you didn't have time to make it to Matt's mom's house after the funeral, huh? Michael, I was set up.
Oh, by Josh, right? No, Josh and Kimberly.
Oh, Kimberly's in the act now.
Yes, she got Josh out of jail.
She hired him to break us up.
Look, he sent me to the hotel last night.
Megan, I read the police report.
You propositioned an undercover cop.
He gave you money.
You were going to his room.
Yeah, but it was a part of the sham! I was doing it to protect you because Josh was going to show these old tapes of me to your hospital bigwigs.
It was all just a big mistake.
Yeah, I think maybe it was.
Michael, you're not gonna leave me here.
I've arranged for your bail.
You'll be out in a couple of hours.
Look, I'm not like them.
We'll talk.
Prostitute: I'm not like them either, sugar.
"Those disbursements to be divided equally.
"There remains then only the issue of guardianship of my sole child Chelsea Fielding, a minor.
" I just love being an issue.
"I have set aside a trust for her "consisting of all my remaining financial assets, "which trusts shall be administered "by her appointed legal guardian, whom I hereby name to be my brother Matthew Fielding.
" What? There must be some mistake.
I assure you, everything's in order.
I I can't do this.
Of course he can't.
It's my place to raise Chelsea.
She's my grandchild.
I'm afraid this is legally binding.
Matt is obligated I don't even know him.
Don't worry, sweetheart.
We'll work this out.
I don't know you either.
What about What about her mother? Denise Fielding gave up all custodial rights at the time of the divorce.
I can't raise a kid.
Oh, don't worry, you won't have to.
Man, we really screwed things up this time, didn't we? I knew you wouldn't let me down.
You'll give me the ticket? Yeah.
There you go.
And I got you some walking-around money too.
Hey, thanks, buddy.
I, uh, sorry about everything.
I was just looking out for you, you know? Yeah, well Siemper fie.
Forget it.
Okay, um Guess I'd better get going.
Look, if I'm ever in L.
A.
Again No, Nick, forget it.
You know, I want you to get on this bus and I want you to live your life far away from here.
It turned out the way it turned out, but it's over.
Adios.
Hi, Michael.
I heard about Megan.
Look, Kimberly, if you're here to tell me I told you so, I'm not in the mood, okay? Michael, I'm the one who found her and set you up with her in the first place.
I just I never thought it would come to this for any of us.
I'm just so sorry.
I feel responsible somehow.
That's funny, because she says you are responsible.
She must feel so alone now.
Actually, what she said was you set her up to take the fall, which, I gotta say, doesn't come as a big surprise to me.
Michael, how can you even think that? You know I love you, and I would never intentionally hurt Megan like this.
Well you wanna hear something sad, Kimberly? I don't trust either one of you anymore.
Kyle, hey are you moving out? No.
Taylor is.
Really? How come? Let's just call it irreconcilable differences.
Wow, I'm sorry.
I mean, well, I never liked her, but No, Syd, I don't need to hear from one more person what a lying tramp my wife has been.
Oh, hey! Not from me.
I just I mean, I know that you must feel bad, whatever this is about, so, um I hope it works out for you.
Excuse me.
Can I talk to my husband, please? Ah, well you'd better ask him.
Now would be a good time for you to move in with Peter.
Kyle, I don't want to lose you.
Well, it's a little late for that, isn't it? I can't excuse what I've done.
I don't even understand it.
Really.
I had this pressure inside of me.
It was pushing me to this secret world.
It's not real.
This is my real life, with you, Kyle, yes.
Really? Hmm.
I never meant to hurt you, Kyle.
Please, I don't want us to end.
Please, baby? You get your sorry ass outta here.
Good-bye, Taylor.
And good night.
Go to hell!!! Ah.
Going someplace? Another country, I hope.
Your husband's condo, actually.
He's waiting for me.
Congratulations.
You win.
Of course, you had to break up two marriages on the way, but hey, who's counting? Woman: You have reached Jamie Chun.
Leave a message, and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible.
Jamie, this is Amanda Woodward.
Craig Field introduced us.
I would like to make an appointment to see you tomorrow, if possible.
I've decided to go ahead and file for divorce.
Hey there, little girl.
You need a ride? Looks like the good doctor didn't come by to pick you up.
Hoo! What a shock.
Leave me alone! Took all day to get you bailed out, too! But he's been really busy, I'm sure.
You know what, you're the one who put me in jail, if I remember correctly.
It was purely an object lesson.
I was just trying to get your attention.
Get away from me before I call the police.
They'd believe that one, wouldn't they? Let's just visit the real world for a second, Megan.
Your little hubby turned his back on you.
He never wanted you in the first place.
He just wants some girl who can play "doctor's wife.
" I'm the only one who loves the real you.
You have no clue who I am.
No? Well, you're walking the street.
Is that a clue? I tell you what, though.
You're the best.
You understand just what a man wants and how to give it.
You got nothing else going for you.
But that's your gift! Nobody knows that better than me.
Listen to me, I don't have to listen to this anymore.
Yeah? When everyone kicks you out of bed, I'll be right here for you, babe.
This is where you live!
