Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990) s08e21 Episode Script

I did not rape her! But you and Valerie did have sex.
I told you that.
She didn't say no or try to resist in any way? I told you I did not rape her! You were drunk that night.
Believe me, she was as much into it as I was.
- That's not what she said.
- She's lying.
Is she lying about the Rohypnol found in her blood? I don't know.
The club was full of guys.
It could've been anyone.
Yeah? But she had sex with you.
He's not denying we had sex, is he? He's saying it was consensual.
Pig.
Do you have a sexual history with him? What has that got to do with anything? Valentine's Day, old time's sake.
What, and a roofie cocktail to break the ice? I don't think so.
Did he break up with you? Yeah, then he raped me.
Go figure.
If he raped you Which he did.
I want him prosecuted.
And I'm sorry.
But to do that, I need to know that you didn't want it.
Don't you get it? He took away my ability to know what I wanted.
I shouldn't be the one on trial here.
No, you shouldn't.
But with date rape, the victims usually are.
What is taking so long? It's rape, Donna, it's a serious crime.
David, he didn't rape her.
He didn't even sleep with her.
Yeah, they spent the night together last night.
All right? Open your eyes.
I can't deal with this.
Hey, are those pain killers not working? Well, my back feels okay, but the pills sure are wiping me out.
I'm trying to hold off.
Listen, I tore up my knee skiing recently, you know? The pain was so bad, I just started downing the pills.
I never knew being a zombie could feel so good.
I want the pain to go away, but I want to be able to function, too, you know? Yeah, that's why you need one set of pills - to counteract the other.
- Ls that what you did? Couple of D amphetamines, and, uh, you'll be fine.
When all this nonsense is over, I'll set you up, okay? I just can't believe what she's accusing him of.
Hey, you all right? Yeah.
I just I just want to go home.
Um, what about Noah? They're gonna charge him, right? No, not till tomorrow after they talk to the D.
A.
I did not rape you! - Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, shut up, all right?! Don't talk to her, don't even look at her.
How can you stand by him? Forget about them, okay? How'd it go in there? I don't know, it's her word against mine.
Look, we know you didn't do anything, okay? Just give us a minute? Yeah, no problem.
I shouldn't drink when I'm angry.
Bad things happen.
Don't blame yourself.
You did nothing wrong here.
Listen to me.
Valerie and I, we did have sex.
What? Look, I was drunk and jealous about you and David.
This isn't happening.
I did not rape her.
Tell me this isn't happening.
I'm sorry.
Look, Jasper, I know the record company really wants to get this CD out, but I mean, why do we have to record at night? You never said anything about this.
Off-hour rates are all we can afford.
The old lady impose a curfew or something? No, she, uh, she was assaulted.
Is she okay? No, that's why I really can't record tonight.
Hey, no problem.
We can postpone putting down keyboard tracks for a while.
Great, thanks.
David, this album is your big opportunity.
It can wait.
You know, if the situation was reversed, I don't know if I'd do the same for you.
Thanks.
Why would she lie about being raped? For the same reason she lied about being pregnant last year.
But she's not asking Noah for money.
Oh, yeah? Just you wait.
She lied about having an abortion, Brandon.
Noah was drunk.
Maybe he just missed a signal.
Could he have drugged her? I don't know.
The only thing we know is that one of them is lying.
And who would that be? We were just talking, Valerie.
So we heard.
Are you feeling any better? Worse, actually.
And until a second ago, I didn't think that was possible.
And the wife and kids are good? Good, glad to hear it.
This is Arnie Greenwalt.
He went to law school with the D.
A.
Hang up the phone.
Noah, he's got pull.
Look, you hang it up or I will.
Arnie, listen, I gotta go.
Yeah, I'll tell you what, when I get home though.
We'll tear up that new course at Gretna Hills, okay? All right.
Yeah, you, too.
Moron.
But with influence.
A healthy campaign contribution and you are off the hook.
I said no.
Noah, you don't know what a jury is gonna do.
I'll take that chance.
Fine.
I just don't know why you're being so stubborn about this.
You don't know why? Because I'm innocent.
I know you don't want the family money bailing you out, but I am trying to help you here.
Look, I know you are, and I appreciate it, but this is not the way to do it.
It's just not.
All right.
Are you telling me to forgive him? No, I'm just saying that how you feel today isn't how you'll feel tomorrow or next week or even next month.
And you think you've really forgiven Brandon? Yeah, I have.
I just can't believe that he did this.
It seems so weird, I mean, I know that he loves you.
And I know that he was really drunk that night, and he was jealous of me and David.
And Valerie probably wasn't playing hard to get.
What if she was? - Donna.
- What? He was drunk and he was jealous.
Maybe he got out of control.
I know you're mad at Noah, but he's not a rapist.
I know, I know.
What is that? I thought you were holding off.
Yeah, I was till about when it numbed the pain and helped me sleep.
I hope you canceled your presentation for today.
It's tomorrow.
But I did call in sick today.
Want me to do the same? We could rent some movies.
You don't have to.
But it sure would be nice if you did.
I'll let them know.
- Could we talk? - You should've called first.
I didn't want you telling me not to come over.
Yes, and now I'm telling you to leave.
Donna, let me explain.
What? You slept with her, you can't explain that.
I could go to jail for this.
Noah, you did a really terrible thing, but nobody thinks you're a criminal.
I want her to tell me that.
She can't do that right now.
In my experience, date rape is hard to prove.
Even with Rohypnol? Without witnesses, it's his word against hers.
Well, her word isn't worth very much.
It's not about is he guilty, it's about proof.
That's the basis for our legal system.
The only thing the D.
A.
risks going after these bums is their track record.
We're risking our lives.
Sounds like the system needs some work.
And you need a day off.
We're working nights all this week.
- Hey, Glen, buddy - Hmm? How about flying solo one night? I don't think so.
Come on.
I got tickets to the Hollywood Bowl.
I'm moved.
That was a shot.
We'll do it some other time? Yeah, great.
So, you guys see more action at night? You wouldn't believe.
Sorry, Officer.
Your money's no good here.
Well, thanks.
Thank Brandon, I put it on his tab.
So what about taking Steven and I for a ride-along? Oh, wow.
You guys work at a newspaper, right? Yeah, right.
You teach us, we teach our readers.
And Steve will get to stare at the back of Tammy's head all night.
At this point, I'll take what I can get.
We'd have to clear it first.
Yeah, that'll take a day.
Tomorrow night all right? Works for me.
Yeah, that's great.
All right, dress warm.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, I'm gonna go get you something to eat, so just hang out and relax, all right? David, I'm not tired.
I need a job.
Not right now, you don't.
Look, Val, um I know it's hard to believe, but this is gonna get easier eventually.
And after the trial, public humiliation.
You want to call the D.
A.
? You want to tell him you changed your mind about filing charges? I don't remember it.
How come something I didn't feel hurts so bad? - Dinner smells great.
- Thanks.
I thought I thought you were staying with Donna tonight.
I was until her pain pills knocked her out.
- Oh.
- I just needed something to keep - my mind off things, you know? - Yeah.
Hey, um, you mind if I take some up to Val? Of course not.
She's having a real tough time.
Thanks for asking.
You know, I'm really trying not to be mad at you for letting her stay.
You know, Kel, it is possible that Val's the victim here.
I don't think so.
How could anyone make up a story like that? If I've learned one thing this year, it's that people are capable of anything.
I can't believe the patient is able to sit up - and take nourishment.
- You know what, Steve? Instead of the stupid comments, why don't you just say what's on your mind, all right? Déjé vu: You know when Valerie pretended to have an abortion, I was the one who took her meals upstairs to her.
You know what? I don't even want to hear this right now.
Well, maybe you should hear this: Valerie slept with Noah, passed out in his office and got busted by you.
And when she saw you, she needed an excuse, so she claims that she was raped, all right? - She swallows some roofies, - Stop, Steve.
And then she has you to support her.
- Steve - and an angle on his millions.
Dude, why don't you just shut up! Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, come on, come on, come on, back off! David, stop it! Okay, Okay, okay, Okay! - Get off me! - Tell him, Brandon! Tell him! He's too blind to see! Yeah, Brandon, tell us what you think.
I've heard from Steve.
I know what Kelly thinks.
What about you, huh? I don't know what to think.
I'll get it.
Hello.
Yeah, just a minute.
Valerie, it's for you.
It's the D.
A.
's office.
Hello.
Yeah, speaking.
Really? And that's final? Yeah, yeah, okay.
Yeah, just forget it.
The D.
A.
's not filing.
What? I'm, I'm sorry.
What? Why not? Insufficient evidence.
I guess they don't believe me either.
All right, come on.
You're staying at my place.
Val, you're welcome to stay here.
It certainly doesn't feel like it.
You're saying the D.
A.
didn't do his job? Part of it.
Someone drugged her.
Well, that's still open for debate.
One I don't want to have this morning.
Donna, we're on Noah's side.
My boyfriend slept with another woman.
I'm supposed to feel good that you're on his side? It's not like that, Donna, come on! I can't deal with this right now.
Donna - Can I get a ride? - Yeah.
Let's go.
Okay, you guys be careful on your drive-along.
Hey, I hear they dropped the charges.
I don't know what to say to you.
How about you're glad I'm not being charged for a crime I didn't commit? I loved you.
Well, she's not gonna hear you out, but maybe she'll listen to me.
Congratulations.
- Thanks, man.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah, great news.
I gotta tell you I didn't do it? You did plenty.
Nothing you haven't done.
Donna.
Hey, is your back feeling any better? No, but I'm taking my pills.
The jump start I told you about.
Well, you're dragging, right? Yeah, a little bit.
Okay, well, take it, don't take it.
At least you got it in case you need it, right? Thanks.
Uh, you know, uh, Noah's a wreck.
He should be.
You just tell him what he needs to do to make it up to you, and he'll do it.
Anything at all.
Anything? Just name it.
Make it so the other night never happened.
Hey.
L, uh, was kind of hoping you'd sleep in.
Jasper called.
He's at home.
Ah, he's just trying to schedule studio time tonight.
I'll tell him I can't make it.
David, look, there's nothing you can do for me, okay? Um, you know, I-l was thinking, maybe, uh, maybe we could call the D.
A.
, you know, see if he'll change his mind.
What, and convince a man it's, it's a crime to knock out a woman and have sex with her? That's what men want.
Valerie That's what men want from me.
No, I don't think so.
Really? Come on, David.
The only reason you and I are together is because of the sex.
Excuse me? No, it's not.
Really? Val, come on.
Come on.
Stop, okay? Stop, please.
- Come on.
- Val, don't, don't do this.
What? I talk too much? You want me drugged, too? No, Val, I don't.
Well, then you're the only one.
I want people to know what he did was wrong.
And what he did matters.
I know it does.
We'll We'll make them see, okay? H OW? I don't know, but we will.
Can I use your sharpener? My What? Pencil sharpener.
Or does the master designer go straight to markers? Hardly.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Cute.
Where's the rest? Ladies, status report.
Boys' playwear is already on the board.
Great.
Donna, how's the girls' line? I'm having a little trouble with the design patterns.
Kind of stuck.
Unstick and be prepared to stay late tonight.
I need those sketches by 6:00 so we can review and make changes tonight.
Donna you need Danielle to back you up? I have some great ideas on the girl's line.
We could put those on the board, too.
Thanks, but you're busy.
I'll have 'em done.
If we need to reschedule We'll be ready.
Take it, don't take it.
At least you got it in case you need it, right? At least you got it in case you need it, right? I told you date rape's hard to prove.
So, I guess you're not surprised the D.
A.
didn't file, huh? Jeopardize his conviction rate? Yeah, I'm real shocked.
Well, in this case, he did the right thing.
Oh, I'm sure your pal's a real Boy Scout.
He said, off the record.
Oh, that's okay.
This is for promotional purposes only.
So, how long you guys been partners? Um, what, a couple of months now? A couple of months? Gosh, it must take a long time to really operate as a team though.
Years.
How long were you with your last partner, Glen? Four years, wasn't it? Five.
Five years with the same guy must get kind of boring.
Is that why you switched? Not exactly.
He died in my arms.
Nine Adam sixty-one.
Possible, two-eleven at Third and Willow, convenience store on the corner.
Suspect male Hispanic, medium height and build, light jacket, dark jeans, armed with a knife.
Handle Code Three.
- Hold on, boys.
- Here we go.
That looks like Louie.
- That's our guy.
- How do you know? He's a petty thief, user.
I've busted him a dozen times.
This is nine Adam sixty one.
Suspect cornered alleyway 300 block of Willow Street.
Request back up.
We got this guy, we got him.
You two stay put.
Your hands where I can see 'em! Hey, Louie! What did she say, huh? Get down off that thing! I didn't do nothing.
- You didn't do nothing, huh? - I was just walking - down the street.
- Give me that gun! You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Do you understand that, huh? What do we got here, huh? Looks like a knife and a bunch of bucks, huh? Where are the drugs, huh? Glen! Man, look at that guy.
I'm looking, and I don't like what I see.
That cop beat me up! You got a gun, Louie? You got a gun? Need a hand? Your back bothering you? No, I'm fine.
Uh, I basically used the same central idea for playwear as well as dress up.
Nice tie-in.
There's no need to go over this now.
Double-lined, reinforced knees You came up with all this in the last few hours? Well, so we'd have time to revise.
That's the plan, right? The sales presentation's been pushed back a day.
We can review tomorrow.
I thought we were working tonight.
S0 did l.
Go home and get some sleep.
We'll make a fresh start in the morning.
I thought you'd be reopened by now.
Big victory bash.
Look, I'm not celebrating.
You know, my friends think I made it all up.
I don't.
They can't even look me in the eye.
It's kind of strange that you can.
Look, I believe you're a victim here.
But it's not my fault.
You came on to me as much as I came on to you.
You'd better work up a better defense than that.
Look, you're the only one I have to convince here.
Oh, and you actually think you could.
God, your arrogance is amazing.
But I guess it's gonna work really well for you on the stand.
What are you talking about? The civil trial.
I'm gonna file suit.
I want everybody to know what you did to me.
But don't worry.
Chin up.
$10 million in damages beats 20 years in jail.
And so what are you gonna do, huh? Call your pal Arnie Greenwalt? I've handled nuisance suits before.
Not everybody takes a bribe, Josh.
And I'm not suggesting we make one.
I mean, knowing Valerie, she'll go cheap.
I'm not going to settle.
I don't blame you for not wanting to give in to a girl like her.
- A girl like her? - But if it'll make this thing go away, I say we give the gold digger a little gold, that's all.
You have no idea what kind of girl she is, okay? I was just saying I know what you were saying, Josh.
I don't like it.
I was just saying that if a few dollars will make this thing go away, it's worth it.
I pay her off and everyone I know thinks I'm guilty.
I won't.
Look, man, I'm sorry.
Hey, Noah, forget about it, all right? The important thing here is, someone out there caused this.
I wish I could get my hands on them.
Hello? Hey.
Hey, look, I'm really glad you called.
We need to talk.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know, but Josh, it's Donna.
She wants to talk to you.
Yeah, this is Josh.
So, that was a slow night? Glen's just busting you.
Four calls is a lot of action.
Listen, about the one in the alley That was the best.
The way you cornered that guy was amazing.
Is there any chance I can talk to him? You got to take charge with guys like Louie.
That angel dust makes them think they're invincible.
That's where the nightstick comes in, I guess.
Hmm? Just what kind of an article are you writing? An honest one, I hope.
That's what you'd want me to write, isn't it? Yeah, just so long as it's no hatchet job.
You want to talk to Louie, talk.
My advice is that you wait till the PCP wears off.
Yeah, I know you said he was on drugs, but I couldn't tell.
How could you? Experience.
That's where the baton comes in.
Hi.
Hi.
Thanks for coming.
I'm glad to do it.
Plus, it gives me the chance to lobby on Noah's behalf.
I'd rather you didn't.
Yeah.
So, I'm glad the pills helped.
I wouldn't have called I mean, I know it was an awkward situation, but I If I didn't have this big presentation at work I know.
Look, I, uh, brought you two, like you asked, but I've got more.
No, lju I just need these to get through my presentation.
I guess you heard about Valerie's lawsuit? What? Hey, there he is.
What's going on? It's the company.
They're worried about you.
That's great to hear.
No, they're worried about your commitment.
All I need is just a few more nights.
Okay, I'm going to get them for you.
But I think you should know the company's talking about dumping you.
Great.
$10 million.
Typical Valerie.
You know, it would mean a lot to Noah, knowing he had your support.
Yeah, well, it was worth a try.
You're a good brother.
Thanks.
That means more to me than you can imagine.
Listen, good luck with your presentation.
Thank you.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Well, we always knew what Valerie was.
Now we even know her price.
You know I was really hoping this whole situation wouldn't affect our friendship.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
It's just weird, you know? Noah and Valerie always thinking we were cheating on them and they were the ones who ended up sleeping together.
Wait, wait.
They didn't sleep together.
Noah raped her.
That's a big difference.
Well, the D.
A.
didn't think so.
Which is why Val filed her own lawsuit.
Confirming that she's simply in it for the money.
Okay, I guess it's safe to say that you're taking Noah's side.
About the rape? Yes, definitely.
Well, I believe Val.
Fine.
I know you like her, Steve.
That has nothing to do with it, Brandon.
- Uh-huh.
- Nothing happened last night.
Really? Try telling that to Louie.
Maybe they failed to cross a "T" or dot an.
Maybe.
But that doesn't mean they should be crucified in the media.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I just came by to see if you made it home in one piece.
Yeah, we did.
Feel free to offer up something less controversial to talk about, please.
Okay, how about Valerie's lawsuit? She filed a civil action claiming sexual battery.
How much? This isn't about money.
Ten million.
I'm sorry, you were saying? Steve, you heard the cops last night.
Just because the D.
A.
doesn't file, doesn't mean a crime wasn't committed.
Doesn't mean there was, either.
Sorry, I thought you'd be at work.
It's okay.
We worked last night.
I just came by to pick up a few things.
Valerie, wait just a second.
I'm curious.
How did you come upon that ten million figure? Were you thinking house, car, vacation spread? Yeah, yeah, did you take into account the lawyer's 30% cut? Or is that just the price of dignity these days? So what are you waiting for? At least they have the courage to trash me to my face.
I told you you're welcome here.
You still are.
I want him to admit what he did.
If I got that and a nickel, I'd be happy.
You defend Louie, you defend her.
Brother, you're getting soft on me.
You were a little hard on her.
Yeah? Well, I think you were a little easy.
Really? Really.
To recap: Playwear and dress wear.
All for one, and one for all.
I'm done.
Thank you, Donna.
And now I'd like Danielle to present No need.
But you haven't heard our ideas on the boy's line.
Why should I? If it's half as good as what Donna designed for the girls, then it's 50% better than what's already out there.
You liked it? I can make any adjustment you want.
More.
Less.
Pattern.
Shorter.
Longer.
I want it just the way it is.
Can you present this to my partners tomorrow morning? - Sure.
- Absolute-ly.
Same theme, same flats same energy.
Great.
Coming.
David.
It's good to see you.
I understand Valerie's staying here.
Uh, yeah.
You know what? She's not available.
Who is it? Noah's brother.
Val, it's, it's no one you need to talk to, all right? You want to.
Trust me.
Um, alone.
David, it-it's okay.
Really.
What is it? This lawsuit.
Uh, it's so unnecessary.
Well, I don't think so.
Well, you got no witness.
Circumstantial evidence.
You've got no shot at winning.
Do you want to just cut to the chase? You want money.
So why give your lawyer a third? Here's a cashier's check for 200,000.
What's the catch? No catch.
No trial, either.
No exposure of your private life, no character assassination.
Just the bottom line.
Donna, you can't answer the phone? Hello? Hey, David.
Yeah.
He what? Wow, I can't believe it.
Kelly, where are my pills? Have you seen them? Just a second.
And what happened? Kel, I need them, and I can't find them.
They were right here.
You know, David, it's not really a good time.
Yeah, I'll tell her.
Kelly! Did you move them? Because I had them.
Is this what you're looking for? Yes.
Pain's that bad, huh? No, I just like taking pills that completely knock me out.
- Donna - Especially when I have a huge presentation at work, yeah.
What did David want? Noah offered to settle.
What?! Josh made the proposal last night.
How much? $200,000.
David doesn't know if Valerie's taking it or not.
Of course she's gonna take it.
God, how can Noah be so stupid? Maybe he just wants to put this behind him.
What, by admitting guilt? 'Cause that is exactly what everyone's gonna think.
I really can't deal with this right now.
I've got to work on my presentation.
What? What? I'm just a little worried about you.
Well, thank you, but I am fine.
I just need to Mother, may I? - I said no settlement! - In order to get the money, she has to sign an agreement acknowledging no admission of guilt.
She agreed to that? Yeah.
I gave her 24 hours.
Yeah.
Is Josh there? Oh, hi, Noah.
How are you? Hi, Noah.
How are you? Is Josh there? - He's busy.
- I need to talk to him.
All right, I'll tell him.
Anything else? Yeah.
I can't believe you settled.
Withdraw the offer.
What, and put your fate in the hands of a jury? No way.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Forget the Rohypnol They could get you on diminished capacity alone.
"Let me see if "I've got this straight, Mr.
Hunter.
You thought that she was drunk?" "Yes.
" "You had to help her up the stairs?" "Yes.
" "You knew that she wasn't feeling well?" "Yes.
" "And yet you still forced yourself upon her.
Is that right?" You're twisting everything up here.
Oh, you're right, Noah, and lawyers don't twist things, do they? Look, don't let this girl ruin your life.
She's not worth it.
Tammy said she was coming right over.
Well, if she's got something to add, we'll add it.
In the meantime, we got to get this thing proofed and ready.
"Stepping over the Thin Blue Line.
" - Catchy.
- Thank you.
Even if it is unfounded.
You didn't even talk to Glen.
I tried.
I talked to some P.
R.
wag, too.
I was sure to include their "no comment.
" Ah, here we go.
What's the story? We're on a deadline here.
Louie wasn't the guy.
What do you mean he wasn't the guy? He had a knife, he was in the right place at the right time, he fit the description, what're you saying? Last night another guy was caught holding up a store, and he confessed to both robberies.
Was he even stoned? Blood came back clean.
So what you're saying is, a completely innocent man got beat up, got to spend a complimentary night in jail for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The guy was no Sunday school teacher.
That doesn't excuse your partner's actions.
About a year ago, Glen and his old partner, they were on a routine arrest; Just like the other night, a chronic offender Only they were a little lax, and the guy was hopped up.
He shot Glen's partner, and Glen shot back.
Two dead bodies.
So you're saying a little excessive force might have saved two lives? He rode a desk for a longtime, and he got counseling.
- Not enough.
- He realizes that now, and he's gonna get more immediately.
Look, the thing is, is that he's just a few months away from retirement, and your story could ruin all that.
He was a great cop.
Well, you were right.
All the way, Brandon.
I don't think we should go with the story, though.
Neither do I.
Thank you, for seeing that things aren't always what they seem.
Not with Louie.
Not with Glen.
Maybe not even with Valerie.
Maybe.
So, you're taking the settlement? I didn't say that.
Well, you just said it'd be stupid not to.
David this might be the only real justice I'm gonna get.
Maybe.
- You think I'm selling out.
- I don't know.
You're the victim here, all right? You have to decide what'll make it right.
Well, nothing will.
But with $200,000, I don't know I could by the After Dark back, sail around the world, go to another country.
And everyone's gonna think you made the whole thing up.
Like they don't already do.
Jasper, hey.
No pressure or anything, but, um, I just, I can't help you anymore.
Look, um, now really isn't a good time.
The record company, they're gonna drop you.
I'm sorry for the interruption, but, uh, it's important.
No, it-it's okay.
David, you should go.
- But, Val, I - Really.
I mean thanks to you, I'm okay.
All right, um, give me a second, okay? Sure.
Thanks for your help.
Look, are you sure? David, I have a big decision to make.
I could use this time alone.
All right.
Um, whatever you decide, I'll I'll support you on it.
Thanks.
That means a lot to me.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What are you doing here? I want to apologize for this morning.
I'm just worried about you.
You look exhausted.
Oh, it's tiring being so bitchy.
I'm sorry.
Don't you have a big presentation at work to do? Yeah, don't remind me.
Well, can't it be put off? Not really.
What are you doing? Oh, I'm just checking inventory, and seeing what we need to reorder.
Do you know if my dad's around? Yeah, he's in with a patient.
Do you want me to check and see how long he's gonna be? Yeah, that'd be great.
Okay, I'll be right back.
Okay.
Do we get them here at the clinic? Yes, I'll prescribe them for you.
Great.
He's just gonna be a few more minutes.
Actually, I can't stick around.
My presentation.
You sure? Yeah.
Is everything okay with us? Everything's fine.
Good, then I got what I came for.
Good luck.
- Thanks.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Hi.
- I'm on my way out.
Uh, you know what? This is important.
Look, Steve, if this is about Noah, the D.
A.
, my lawsuit, the settlement Save it.
I already know how you feel.
No, you don't.
This ought to be good.
All right, at first, yeah.
I thought you had an angle.
I mean, why not? It fit.
There is a pattern to you after all, Valerie.
Good-bye.
But then I realized that things aren't always how they seem.
So, man bites dog.
Bad girl gets raped.
I'm still kind of waiting for the apology.
I jumped to conclusions.
I'm sorry.
So, you think I'm innocent? I'm gonna keep an open mind.
And I'm supposed to be happy with that? Valerie, I'm offering you an olive branch here.
Yeah, I know, Steve.
It just feels that if I reach for it, it's just gonna break.
I don't want your money.
Good, 'cause the offer's withdrawn.
What, you think you can just buy me off? I just said there's no offer.
But you made one.
And that just tells me you know you're guilty.
Once again, Val.
I did not rape you.
- Tell it to the judge.
- With pleasure.
And by the way if you were drugged, I didn't notice.
Always such a sensitive lover.
We're both victims here.
- No, I'm the one who got raped! - Not by me.
And what do you call sex without consent, huh? A mistake.
One that's gonna cost you dearly.
I thought you weren't in it for the money.
I'm not.
What, then? Just you.
On the stand.
Under oath.
So help you God.
