Melrose Place s05e26 Episode Script

Hey, thanks for letting me bunk here for the night.
No problem.
Glad to be of help.
So, when did you, um Get my "out of jail free" card? A couple of weeks ago.
Even the Maryland pen doesn't keep you locked up forever, unless you chop somebody's head off or something.
You see, son, all I did was knock off a liquor store.
I was having trouble supporting my family, and got a little desperate.
You can understand, can't you? Uh, Billy, right? Yeah, it's Billy.
And sure, yeah, I can understand.
Anyway, that's all in the past, so you just out for a visit? Did you tell Mom you're out? I bet you can't wait to get back out on the Chesapeake and get after them crabs, huh? Well, to tell you the truth, girl, I'd appreciate it if you kept my release our secret until I get a chance to tell your mom myself.
Sure, of course.
Well it's nice to see you with such a solid-looking young man here, Sam.
It kinda reminds me of when we were a family.
Life was good, wasn't it? I mean, until things got all messed up.
Yeah, Dad, life was real good for a while.
I'm gonna head into bed, and let you guys catch up.
So, good night.
It was really nice to meet you, Mr.
Reilly.
You've got a wonderful daughter here.
You can call me Jim, son.
I'm nothing fancy, just an old waterman.
All right, Jim.
Hey, calm down, I can make my own bed.
Sit down.
Come on.
I want to tell you something, girl.
You don't have to worry.
I I forgive you.
What happened in the past happened.
And that's our little secret.
Your boyfriend doesn't need to know anything about it.
I don't know.
It's not anybody else's business.
It's Reilly business.
Understand me? Yeah, O.
K.
I understand.
I know a secret is hard for a such a straight arrow as you, but we know that honesty isn't always the best policy.
Don't we? I won't talk about it, and I'll just leave it at that.
Good night.
Night, girl.
Well, Alison, after we got you stabilized last night, we ran some tests to try to get an idea of what we're dealing with here.
Just tell me, is the baby all right? For now, yes, but this is complicated.
Your blood pressure is abnormally high, and after the work-up, we pinpointed the cause as toxemia.
What is that, like toxic shock or something? Not exactly.
But Alison, your body is reacting with extreme stress to this pregnancy.
Now, what we're gonna do is put you on some medication that will hopefully bring the blood pressure down and keep both you and the baby out of danger.
What if it doesn't work? What then? Let's not deal in hypotheticals, O.
K.
? One step at a time, and right now your job is to rest, all right? I'll see you later today.
Oh, no.
Oh, I did this, didn't I? By getting up when they told me not to and going to work.
Oh God, I am so selfish.
Would you give yourself a break, please? The doctor didn't say this had anything to do with that.
I swear, Jake if I did anything to hurt this baby if I lose this baby, I will never forgive myself.
Never.
Beth? Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me, Beth? Why, Peter Burns, I didn't go anywhere.
I'm right here by your side where I've always been.
My God, it's really you.
Of course it is, silly.
Who'd you expect, Princess Di? You always were a social climber.
I can't tell you how much I've missed you.
Then come on, Peter ravish me.
Ah! Oh, God, Peter! You scared the life out of me! You O.
K.
? Yeah, yeah.
I must have been dreaming or something.
Well, I like fooling around in the morning as much as the next girl, but you could spend a little more time warming me up.
Yeah I'll do that.
Next time, I'll do that.
Oh You've been through so much.
Taylor's here.
And from now on, everything's gonna be perfect.
Don't you worry.
That woman was fine after her so-called accident here.
I saw her at the hospital, which by the way I didn't have to do but I did out of the goodness of my own heart.
She was lying there basically perfectly fine.
She said to me that she was A-O.
K.
, not to worry, and that she was sorry, and it was all her fault anyway.
And now she's suing me? I don't think so.
I am just gonna have to show the world what a skanky lying thief that old bag is.
Did you get a lawyer yet? Um hello, I happen to know that you have one that will work for free, your old boyfriend that you used on Amanda.
You're gonna get him for me and he is going to be a millionaire after I countersue.
Whoa, Syd.
He did a little favor for me, but he's gonna want a big retainer for a job like that.
Any lawyer will.
Of course.
You know I don't have the kind of money for any kind of big retainer.
You're not gonna help me anyway.
Fine.
I should have known you have no loyalty, no sense of right and wrong.
But fine, I don't care.
I have a hearing in 2 days, and I'll just defend myself.
You know better than that.
Can't you get a loan or something? I'm just gonna have to prove to the judge what a fake that woman is.
I think I know just how to do that.
Daddy! Hi! Hey there, girl.
I just wanted to see where you hung your hat during the day.
Um Syd, this is my father, Jim Reilly.
And this is my boss, Sydney Andrews.
Such a beautiful young lady to be a boss.
Uh thanks, I guess Um nice to meet you.
Try not to distract her.
Listen, I didn't mean to bother you here.
Oh, it's O.
K.
Don't pay any attention to Sydney.
No, it's not that, it's just that, uh I was hoping maybe you could spot me a few bucks.
I need to pick up some things, you know shaving cream, beer.
I'll get it back to you because I've got some money coming in.
Sure, of course, how much do you need? $100 oughta do it.
I don't know if I have that on me.
All I have is $50.
This'll do fine.
You'll have it back in a couple of days.
Look, I know you're worried, but she deserved to know.
Kimberly needs all the help she can get right now.
You don't know Kimberly's mother.
She lives to hate me.
Speak of the devil.
There must have been no traffic from the airport.
Where's Kimberly? Hello, Marion.
Uh this is Megan, my wife.
Is she in the bedroom? Yes, she is.
Mrs.
Shaw, I just wanted to tell you how much your daughter means to me.
Young woman, I don't mean to be rude, but considering who your husband is, I really don't care.
I'm going in to see my daughter.
I'd appreciate it if you two left as soon as possible.
Honey Oh, Mom, thank God it's you.
Oh, my poor little girl.
You look so frail.
Why didn't you tell me when you were getting sick? My God.
I'm sorry, Mom.
It just seems like all I ever do is cause you pain.
After the last time, I didn't want you to I c I couldn't let you see me die.
Oh, no, no.
That is not going to happen.
I'm not going to let it.
I'm here now, Kimmy, and I swear to God I am not going to let anything or anyone hurt you ever again.
I swear it.
Hey, partner.
I was just coming to see you.
Something interesting has just popped up.
I just spent the day talking business with you.
Can't this wait till the morning? This has nothing to do with advertising it's fun.
A friend of mine is opening a club tomorrow night, and I thought that you might want to go with me.
Craig, there is no way anything is gonna happen between us, so give it up.
O.
K.
? This might be hard for you to believe, but somebody might just like your company, Amanda.
I mean, for God's sakes, would you like lighten up? I swear, I'm not looking for anything else.
Come on.
It'll be fun.
All right.
But you know the rules.
Yes, ma'am, I sure do.
But then again, rules were made to be broken.
Morning.
Come on, damn it! Not now.
Go.
No! No! I can't believe it! God, no! It's you! You're harassing me! I'm going to call the cops on you! It's too late now! You're a fake, lady.
I've seen it with my own eyes! You! You're not getting away with this! Somebody help me! Help me.
Peter, hey.
What's the big surprise? Well, um I called Samantha yesterday, and she was kind enough to bring some special things in they don't normally carry, and I thought you might want to try them on.
Oh, that's so sweet.
But things have been so tense between us lately.
I'm surprised that you're extending yourself like this.
You know something, Taylor? It's like I woke up and realized what I had.
And maybe it's time that we, uh we both appreciate what's right in front of us.
Don't you think? I do.
I really do.
So why don't you go see what kind of presents Samantha has there and maybe try them on? Everything's right back here.
Back in a flash.
O.
K.
Why, Peter Burns I didn't go anywhere.
I'm right here by your side where I've always been.
I'm not sure, Peter.
It seems awfully conservative to me.
Oh, but you look great in it.
Very mysterious, you know.
I mean, it looks more like something Beth would wear.
Really? Yeah.
I don't see that at all.
Samantha, would you wrap up the rest of those things? We'll be taking them home with us.
I'm sure Taylor will love them all, won't you, darling? So you're gonna love this club.
It's in old town Pasadena.
It's where a dairy used to keep its fleet of trucks so it's huge, retro design without being stupid.
And tonight's premiere is gonna be jammed with the hippest people in the basin, including you.
Well, it sounds fine as long as it isn't filled with Young Turks like you smoking cigars.
There's no one like me anywhere, Amanda, and the cigar fad is way over.
Hey, Kyle, what are you up to? And why aren't you at the restaurant? I don't know.
I just took the night off to sit and watch the pool light dance across the walls.
Well, instead of sitting here by yourself, you oughta come with us.
Craig says we're going to a club filled with the hippest people in L.
A.
Well, then I would definitely stick out like a sore thumb.
You know, maybe he's right.
Besides, I mean, Kyle looks like he needs to be by himself tonight.
Oh, bull.
Come on, we're all friends.
We've gotta grab life by the back of the neck and give it a good shake.
Shake, huh? You know what? You're right.
I'm in, let's go.
I told them I'd only bring one guest, so Well, I'm sure you're well-connected enough to fit in one extra body.
Craig, thanks, you're a pal.
Hey, Billy, I was just telling Craig how well the meeting went today.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll have that report on your desk in the morning.
You've sure got that boss code down pat, don't you? Hi, uh do you mind if I turn this down? It's your house, isn't it? What are you doing here, Jim? I'm making dinner, Billy boy.
Get set for some serious home cooking.
Yeah, well you see, I'm, uh pretty sure I mentioned I was bringing home Chinese takeout for dinner tonight.
Yeah, well, that Chinese stuff, that gives me gas like a bastard.
Why don't you just put it in the fridge and have it for breakfast tomorrow? Tonight, we're having chipped beef and biscuits, American food.
Where's Sam? She's in the back clearing out some stuff.
Why don't I take that for you? Thanks.
I thought this was gonna be your new studio.
Look, just till Dad gets on his feet, O.
K.
? He's gonna try to make a go of it in L.
A.
, and I thought it would be better for everyone if he had his own proper bedroom.
Wait a minute.
He's moving in? Just temporarily.
I thought there weren't gonna be any more secrets.
It just came up today.
Come on, just till he gets a place of his own.
He's really grateful.
He's making us dinner.
Yeah, he sure is, and it looks plenty scary.
Come on, there's nothing wrong with chipped beef.
That and blue crabs is what I grew up on.
Now lighten up, O.
K.
? For me.
O.
K.
O.
K.
, kids, dinner's served.
Here we go.
No, I got this round considering the fact that I'm a third wheel and all.
Oh, don't be silly.
No one's dating here.
We're just hanging out together.
You know, pals? I'm not sure Craig sees it that way.
Do you, Craig? Keep the change.
Thanks.
That was like a 100% tip.
You trying to impress someone? No.
I've just spent too much of my life in the restaurant biz.
You know, I always thought that it would be a frustrating business.
You know, having to cook people's food, wait on them.
You know, running around with an apron.
It's kinda like being a, uh a servant or something.
Well, you get used to it.
Of course, it's not as demanding as say, inheriting daddy's company.
Hey, if you guys can't get along, I'm gonna leave.
I'm sorry, I'm just a little sour these days.
You know what would make me happy? Can't imagine.
Watching the two of you dance.
That's very kinky.
I don't need your help.
Good.
I'll dance with her.
Oh! I don't think so.
Look, you're fighting over me.
Not me.
I gave that up.
I still think we should order pizza and get the little cheese steaks that come with it.
We are getting groceries from a store and making dinner.
O.
K.
, frozen pot pies, um, ice cream, and the little turnovers that come in a cylinder and you just bake 'em and soda.
No, fresh vegetables, a roasting chicken, mineral water, juice, and maybe some ice cream.
You know, for a persecuted minority, you're really quite square, Uncle Matt.
At least you have good taste in music.
Yeah, well You'll have to eat your peas, but you won't have to listen to the Beach Boys.
Go get your jacket.
We're going.
O.
K.
Well, if we're gonna be eating healthy and studying all the time, then at least we could get some decent coffee.
Coffee.
Matt Fielding's very square residence.
Yeah, hi.
Um O.
K.
O.
K.
, I guess.
I mean Yeah, I guess that's O.
K.
O.
K.
Bye.
Chelsea, what's wrong? Who was it? It was my mother calling from Paris.
She's on her way back to the States.
She's coming to take me back with her.
It's so nice for us all to be together for once.
My mother and I have been talking, and we've come to the decision that I should move back to Cleveland with her.
There are some specialists there, and Who knows? I might even get better without surgery.
Well, Kimberly, um I'm gonna miss you, but I'm happy for you.
Wait a minute Kimberly can't fly.
In her condition, it's way too dangerous.
That's why we're taking the train.
W-whatever.
She can't travel, or excitement.
Anything can cause a seizure, or worse.
Oh, Michael, come on you know you don't want me here.
I'm just causing you trouble.
Michael, it's her decision.
If it gives her hope False hope.
Kimberly, you're a doctor.
You know the facts.
The fact is, your mother's solution to everything is to drag you back to the Midwest, even if it risks your life, because she hates me! Michael, that's not so.
You're right, Michael.
I would do anything to get her away from you.
She was a doctor with a bright future until you nearly killed her, and then you infected her with your cruelty and deceit.
You made her sick.
I'm gonna make her well.
Right, and I gave her cancer, right? You'd blame me for global warming if you could make it fly.
Stop it! Stop it! Just stop it, please! I just want some peace.
Can't you at least give me that? Your mother is the one stirring the drink here.
Look, enough, Michael! I'm sorry, Kimberly.
It's all right.
I guess we should go.
That would be a good idea.
And Megan, be careful of this young man.
He'll destroy you, too.
There is something very dark in him.
You are a twisted, bitter old crone.
You know that? I didn't even get to say goodbye with all the fighting.
He's my husband, and I love him, Mom.
And she was my friend.
You can write them when you get home.
Kim, our train leaves in just a couple of days, and we have so much to do before then.
Believe me, this time Mommy knows best.
Mommy knows best.
It's too dark to read.
They won't even let me veg with the TV.
Well, they're trying to keep your stimulus down.
The doctor said that with the way things are, it's important to keep you stabilized.
If I have to live like this for 7 months, I won't be relaxed.
I'll be a raving lunatic.
Come on, talk to me.
Tell me something even slightly interesting.
Uh I got a couple of new CDs for the jukebox.
Oh, that's fascinating.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I live a simple life.
Um Sam's dad showed up.
Billy seems kinda weird about that.
And oh! Sydney.
Now you're talkin'.
Sydney is being sued by a woman who was injured and confined to a wheelchair when one of Sydney's displays fell on her.
No! And so Sydney's, of course, defending herself.
Oh, no! Who told you this? Sam.
She came by the bar this afternoon.
But, no, it gets better.
Sydney decides to get a video camera.
She's going to tape this woman walking around faking, right? But, no The cheap camera screws up.
Sydney freaks out, of course.
The woman catches her, calls the police Oh, no! Oh aah! Are you O.
K.
? Alison? Alison? Oh, God Nurse! Nurse, help.
Nurse, we need help in here! We've got all your blood work back now, and in combination with last night's seizure, it confirms what I feared earlier.
The only way for you to survive is for us to terminate this pregnancy as soon as possible.
But I feel better.
Can't we just give these medications a chance to work? Look, I know this is hard for you, and you're welcome to get another opinion, but I guarantee you'll hear the same thing.
And I can't stress enough the importance of having this done as soon as possible.
Your life depends on it.
What about the life of our baby? I'll let you two talk about this.
I'll be available as soon as you've come to a decision.
Oh, God I am so sorry.
You didn't do anything to be sorry about.
What's important now is for us to concentrate on you getting well.
You'll have this operation It's not an operation, Jake.
They are taking our baby.
Everything you wanted.
Everything I wanted.
It's alive inside of me, and they'll Alison, listen to me.
There's nothing in this world that I want more than to have a child with you.
But if you don't do this, neither one of you are going to survive.
Think of it like Think of it like a sign like God saying something's wrong and stopping it.
You'll get pregnant again I promise.
But please please let them do this.
'Cause if I lost you, I couldn't live.
Although this is the first status conference, I strongly advise you, Miss, uh Andrews, against representing yourself.
This could wind up being a very costly mistake for you.
Oh.
I don't think so, Your Honor.
I mean, it's obvious this whole case should just be thrown out.
Is that so? Yes.
See I saw this woman at her house when she thought no one was looking, get up out of her chair, walk down the stairs to get her mail.
That is hearsay and not admissible as evidence unless there is some kind of proof.
I had proof.
Then my camera jammed.
What we do have proof of, by her own admission, is that Sydney Andrews is harassing my client.
I have a copy of a complaint filed with the police by Hilda Morris, the day Miss Andrews came to her home, harangued her, and put her in fear of her life.
We'd also like to file for a restraining order at this time.
I'll take that under consideration.
Your Honor, this is such a crock! Admit it, Hilda.
You're just trying to keep me away so I won't catch you outta your chair, skipping around your house, you old fraud! Enough! On the basis of evidence, the lawsuit does seem to have merit.
The clerk will inform you of your court dates.
Now, Ms.
Andrews, I must strongly urge you to get hold of yourself.
And as quickly as possible, get yourself some legal representation.
Next case.
I'm just telling you what happened.
Your dad and I were walking into the video store, and a cop car pulled up and parked in the lot, and he got all weirded out.
He came back here, and it was like he was running away from them.
Cops make him nervous.
Can you blame him? I don't know.
I've never lived with an ex-con before.
Oh, that's real nice.
You know what? I don't think this is about my father's jail time at all.
I think this is about you being a middle-class boy from the Valley who finds out that his girlfriend is Eastern Shore trailer trash, and it makes him queasy.
That is total bull.
I don't think so, Campbell.
You know what? If you don't want to be around my family, you don't have to be.
Them or me.
Just stop it, all right? I'm sorry.
The whole thing is putting a lot of strain on us.
I love you and you know that, but it's really hard having your father right here in our faces.
There's something you should know.
Great.
More secrets.
Listen to me, O.
K.
? I'm the one who testified against him.
I saw him do it, and I told the cops and the D.
A.
and the jury and everybody, and that sent my father to prison, so I'm not doing anything more to hurt him, O.
K.
? Understand? I'm not throwing him out! Billy: All right! I didn't say you had to.
Oh, I forgot.
The ramp's on the other side.
Um I'll just go get a guard to help get you down, O.
K.
? I'll be right back.
Well, hurry up.
I wanna go home and get back on my feet.
Lady, you're the biggest faker since Yuri Geller, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let you ruin me.
Please! Oh, please! Leave me alone! No, I won't not until you stand up, go back in there, and tell that judge what you're trying to do to me.
Come on, let's go! Stand up! Get up.
Get away from me, you little witch! Aah! Oh, my God.
No! Burns-Mancini.
Can I help you? Hi, Megan.
It's Kimberly.
I, um I really need a favor from you.
Sure.
What can I do? Will you come and get me at the beach house? My mom took the car, and I really need to see Michael one last time before I leave.
I'm starting to get these feelings like I'm running out of time, like everything's getting distant, you know? Can you help me, please? I need a real goodbye.
I don't want to leave things as they are.
Don't worry, O.
K.
? Michael's at the hospital.
I'll close up here and get there as soon as I can.
Thank you.
God, I hope I'm doing the right thing.
You are.
I just have to see Michael one more time.
You still love him, don't you, in spite of everything? Mmm.
In the end, I guess there's no reason for it.
It just is.
You know what it's like.
Yeah, I do.
Thank you, honey.
Oh, no.
Where in the hell do you think you're taking her? Mom, I have to see Michael once more.
And you call yourself her friend? Michael is the last person you need to see right now.
I am not going to let you be harmed by these people out here! Listen to her for a second Shut up! I am her mother, and I'm going to protect her! No! I wanna go! I need Oh, God, no.
Call 9-1-1! Oh, honey quick! Oh, Kimmy Kimmy, Kimmy, Kimmy! Hello? Yes, it's an emergency! Malibu.
Mom I'm sorry.
I should have stayed home but I love him.
It's all right, sweetheart.
J-just stay, baby.
Just please stay.
Kimmy Aah! Marion's taking the body back to Cleveland tonight on the train.
We should do something.
Like what? I mean, Kimberly's body's in the mortuary.
She's dead.
There's there's nothing more to do or say.
I know, but we should go see her.
She was trying to see you when she died.
I know.
You told me.
What am I supposed to do, feel guilty? Because I don't.
And no matter what you, Marion, or old dead Kimberly think, I don't feel guilty about anything that happened between her and I.
You know? She gave as good as she got, and it's over now, O.
K.
? It's time to move on.
Which means, by the way, right now I gotta do rounds.
All right.
What? You think I'm wrong? Doesn't matter what I think.
It's between you and Kimberly.
I am telling you, Ms.
Andrews, that if the case goes to trial, the jury will see to it that you will owe Miss Morris more money than you ever expect to make in your lifetime.
On top of that, if she presses charges, there is a strong possibility of your winding up in jail.
If you just let me try to explain The less talking you do the better.
Now, for reasons that escape me, opposing counsel has agreed to settle? Your Honor, really I suggest you settle.
You will remember I was a witness to the last incident.
Exactly how much money are we talking about here? I think we're looking at at least a million dollars.
I don't have that kind of money! Then, young lady, the court is going to have to see exactly how much money you do have, because Miss Morris is going to get her settlement isn't she? Yes, sir.
They're beautiful.
Not as good-looking as you, but for flowers I guess they're O.
K.
Jake, um before I went in for surgery, you said that we could try again, you know, to have a baby.
Yeah.
Of course, we have to wait a while.
The doctor came in to talk to me after.
And, um she's almost positive I I can never have children.
Oh, um I'm sorry.
So, I have gone, um over it and and over it in my head, and I know how important a family is to you.
And I understand if you want to you know What? Leave you? I already told you I couldn't live without you.
Hell, there's plenty of kids out there that need a family.
And none of it nothing in my life is possible without you.
Well, then can you do a favor for me? Anything.
Would you marry me? I would be honored, Alison Parker.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe this.
You really lost the store in the blink of an eye? I don't have a job? Well, don't expect me to feel sorry for you.
Somehow I'm supposed to find a whole new life.
They took everything my car, my percentage of Burns-Mancini, My porno royalties, every penny of my savings.
I'm a big zero! So just don't stand here and feel sorry for yourself.
Why don't you just leave me alone? Yeah.
I think I'll do just that.
Hey, Ms.
Andrews.
How are you? Drop dead! You've already ruined me.
Could you just leave me alone? That was Hilda Morris's last case.
That tumble down the courthouse steps, that was her jackpot.
Pretty gutsy move, don't you think? She's an old stunt gal, so she knows how to fall.
But still Anyway, she's headed down to Florida for a life of leisure.
I hope you're having fun with your gloating jamboree.
When I'm back on my feet, I am going to hire an investigator and take you for all you're worth.
Seems to me you're broke.
But you got a lot of guts, the kind of personality for this kind of work.
Not in a million years.
Sydney, the only way you're going to get back on your feet is to fall off 'em in the right place.
I need a new percentage plaintiff.
You could make a bundle of money real quick.
Give me a call if you're interested.
I'm not.
Not at all.
And it's a strike.
Hey, Amanda.
I just heard about Alison losing her baby.
I'm sorry.
It's a shame.
Yeah.
I just came from the hospital.
It's pretty sad, but they're a good couple.
They'll do fine.
You know, it's strange.
An acquaintance of mine just died.
Kimberly Shaw.
It's been coming for a long time, but it kind of puts things in perspective.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
You all right? Yeah.
Yeah.
