Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 11 - Deadline - full transcript
After Brandon is arrested, sparks fly between him and Kelly over his continuing refusal to reveal the names in his article, until Erica proposes a way to help him by entrapping Riggs with a sting operation. Meanwhile, Valerie seeks to learn who anonymously helped David pay off his loan shark and learns the truth about Noah and his wealthy background. At the same time, David's jealousy and pride gets the worst out of him after he rejects help from Donna after a fire breaks out at the After Dark. Steve queries with father, Rush, as well as Jody, about paternity and if he is ready for it and goes to Carly for comfort. Also, Kelly volunteers for a new job at a free clinic and meets the volunteer doctor Monahan, and Noah starts dating Donna after telling her about his wealthy family.
Morning.
David, hi.
You know what, I'm just
about to get going so...
I just need a minute, two tops.
No, look, if this
is about Noah...
No, why would
this be about Noah?
Well, I don't know. Maybe
'cause the last time I saw you,
all you wanted to do
was argue about him.
That was before I
realized what an angel you were.
Don't. Angel?
You know, I lie.
I give you every
reason to hate me
and you still come through.
How did I come through?
Donna...
By paying off my debt to Sands.
Sands? Everett Sands.
The guy I borrowed the
money from, the loan shark.
And I promise,
I'll pay you back, all
right? All 15 grand.
When did you borrow
money from this guy?
What do you mean, when? When?
As in before or
after you confessed
to being in so much trouble?
Before. So what you
said was the truth
was really a lie.
It wasn't you, was it?
You...
you didn't pay off Sands?
No.
How could it be?
You kept it a secret from
me, just like everything else.
I think you should go now.
Don...
David.
Please. Come on, let's go.
Wait a second,
you're kicking me out?
Yeah. Good-bye.
So what does Brandon
think of your new haircut?
He loves it. Good.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning. Mmm!
Did you ever hook up with Dylan?
Yeah, about ten minutes ago.
You didn't tell him
about me, did you?
Didn't have to.
Iris, right?
Actually, she did you a
favor, if you think about it.
You don't want to
go live with Dylan?
No way.
Are you serious?
Mm-hmm.
It was her idea.
She knows how close
you and Dylan are.
Not that she doesn't want you.
She does. It's just
she thinks that for
now it would be better
if custody were
transferred to Dylan.
This is so cool.
But I can't leave yet.
Not while you're still in
trouble because of me.
I'm not in trouble. What about
the district attorney?
Eh, she threatened
me. I called her bluff.
She's torturing
somebody else already.
It's over.
Don't worry.
I'm telling you,
she's forgotten all about me.
Brandon Walsh, we have
a warrant for your arrest.
You are being charged with
being an accessory to a felony,
Section 32 of the Penal Code.
Brandon, what's going on?
It's just a
misunderstanding, Kel.
Call a lawyer, will you?
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you give up your
right to remain silent,
anything you say can and will
be used against
you in a court of law.

Hi.
Hey, Carly. How is he?
Well, on a scale
of one to ten? 2,000.
I-I like kids.
Oh, who's kidding? I love kids.
But other people's kids.
Maybe even my kids,
too, when I'm ready,
but I'm not even ready yet!
Uh, Danish?
You have to eat.
You think this is my kid?
How long until you get
the test results back?
46 hours and 29 minutes.
Give or take.
I think you'd be
pretty exacting, too,
if your world was
coming to an end.
Well, I thought you
were at peace with this.
I haven't slept in days.
I'm literally so anxious,
I-I can feel...
my heart racing in my chest!
Ah, I get sick
when I think about
what Jodi's doing to me.
She's only asking
for your help
if it's your child.
Is that supposed to
make me feel better?
Is it?
Because it doesn't.
She wants this kid,
and it's her choice.
I've got no choice.
Nothing. Zip!
Zilch! Zero!
Yeah, what?!
Lawyer?
Yeah, I'm sure he can.
All right. I'm on it. I'm there.
What?
Brandon got arrested today.
We can't touch.
Are you okay?
Yeah, sure, all
things considered.
They took my belt
and my watch.
Really don't feel
the need to spend
much more time inside.
I can't believe
this is happening.
Steve talked to Rush.
He's got a lawyer
working on bail.
She says I should be
home in time for dinner.
Did she say how to get these
ridiculous charges dropped?
She didn't have to tell me.
I know.
I'm not doing it.
Brandon. Kel...
we've been over this.
Then let's go over it again.
No.
Brandon, you could
go to jail for five years.
But I won't.
I'm doing the right thing.
Not according to the D.A.
The D.A.'s wrong and a
judge and jury will see that.
And what if they don't?
They will.
But what if they don't?
Okay, let me get this straight.
Donna dumps you.
She immediately
starts seeing Noah,
and you think she's the
one who bailed you out?
It was a selfless thing to do
and I don't know
many selfless people.
Present company excluded.
Hey, I would've asked you if
you weren't, uh, unemployed
and broke. Thanks. I think.
Steve, Kelly and Brandon
don't have that kind of cash.
Well, uh, how about your dad?
No way.
Noah's broke.
Carly's broke.
Donna's...
Sleeping with the enemy.
She is not. Okay.
Petting with the
enemy. It still hurts.
What about asking your
friend, uh, the loan shark?
Sands?
What and be mistaken
for a punching bag again?
No, thanks.
Well, maybe he'll treat
me with more respect.
Why are you so interested
in who paid off my debt?
Don't you want to know
who bailed you out?
Yeah.
What was I thinking? Money!
Let me guess.
You caught a whiff
of that cold, hard cash.
Just let me know how
you got ahold of Sands.
Dan, the Bartender.
Well, you can't
find a loan shark
in the Yellow Pages.
Well, then we'll just
have a little chat with Dan.
Oh, boy.
Come in.
Hey. Hey, stranger.
What's up with the camera gear?
I just thought I'd take
some test shots of the boat.
There's talk of a shoot here.
Shoot away.
It's been a long time.
Yeah, I, uh, I've been
working real hard.
So you just stopped by to
check on your boat, huh?
You mad?
No, I just prefer
honesty is all.
You didn't stay away
because of work.
You stayed away
because of David.
Look, David and I just broke up.
I just felt like I was
moving too fast.
Is that bad?
No, it's just not what
I would have done.
You know, maybe me coming
here wasn't such a good idea.
That's your call.
You're not giving me much here.
Look, what happened last week
was pretty spur of the moment.
We shouldn't
feel guilty about it.
It's what we do
next that counts.
So what do we do next?
Take some test shots.
Beyond that, we'll just
wait and see what happens.
I know you think what
Brandon's doing is wrong,
but try to see
things from his side.
Like you're doing with Jodi?
That's different.
No, it's the same.
They're both facing
hard decisions
and they're making
choices that we don't like.
Brandon's fighting
for a principle.
Jodi's trying to change my life.
That's a whole
different ball game.
I guess you're
right, but, Steve,
if Brandon goes to jail, it's
going to change my life, too.
Hello, you two.
Hi, Dad. DONNA: Hey.
You're looking good, son.
Hi, Kelly. Hey.
How are you?
All right, depending
on your news. All right.
Brandon made bail.
He'll be out in a few minutes.
Thank you for all of your help.
Just a little debt of gratitude
I owe this guy for
putting me on the straight
and narrow. You're not still mad
at me for the sweatshop deal?
Well, it was a hell
of a life's lesson.
Mad? Couldn't be more proud.
What about this fiasco?
Free at last. Free at last.
Well, he emerges unscathed.
Completely.
Hey, baby.
Uh, Kelly, Steve, this is Ann.
Ann, this is Kelly and Steve.
Hi. Hello. Ann's my new hero.
You should've heard what
she said to bust me out of there.
Nothing I don't believe in.
Freedom of the press,
the First Amendment...
Those are easy to defend.
And to promote, too.
I can see the headlines now.
"Editor Imprisoned: Martyr
For the Rights of Others."
What do you think? You sure
you really want to use the word
"martyr" in the
headline? Why not?
I love it.
Yeah, we should
do a second edition.
Pump it up. That's
not a bad idea.
You guys act like
you won something.
Kel?
No.
What do we do now?
Mills wants us back
here tomorrow morning
for a meeting, 8:00.
Don't you see,
Brandon? It's not over.
It's barely started.

your luck's turned, huh?
I hope so.

Fire! DAVID: Please! Please!
Be careful! Be careful!
Take your time! Take your time!
Calm down! Calm down!
Everything's going
to be okay, just relax.
Single file.
Single file, that's
the way. Dan!
Call 911!
Everybody's safe.
I called the fire
department. It's all right.
The fire's out, the fire's out.
What was that you were
saying about my luck?
Lighten up, David.
At least the place
didn't burn down.
What the hell am I
supposed to do now?
I'm homeless.
I told you to get him
four of the Polish stuff
and two of the Russian.
Now!
What a jerk.
Who, me?
I've got a terrible
feeling that you're lost.
Well, not if you're
Everett Sands.
Guilty as charged.
Well, then I'm
in the right place.
Hi, I'm Valerie Malone.
I'm a friend of Dan's
from the After Dark.
Are you in difficulty?
'Cause, um, I could set up
some very favorable terms.
Yeah, I'm sure you could.
But I'm here because
of a friend of mine.
David Silver.
You want to do business
with me, we'll do business.
Not talk about other
people's business.
Well, I was hoping
maybe I could bribe you.
I don't know, with my charm.
Seems to me you
have quite a lot of that.
What's your angle?
Well, just think of me as
a nice girl with bad habits.
I might need someone
to bail me out sometime.
A name would be really helpful.
You didn't hear it from me.
Hunter.
Noah Hunter.
Noah Hunter?
You must have the wrong name.
I didn't ask for his I.D.,
but that's definitely
the guy's name.
Noah Hunter.
He's a bum.
Maybe, but he's a bum
with a lot of cash in his jeans.
No way. He's broke.
He works on boats for a living.
I don't know what
he does for fun.
But believe me,
this kid is loaded.
And I'm not talking
chump change either.
This is serious money.
Excuse me.
My position has the support
of the Bill of
Rights, Miss Mills.
It seems to me
that the Constitution
carries a little more
weight than what...
I don't need a lecture from you
on the constitutional
law, Mr. Walsh.
I'm the assistant
district attorney.
My responsibility is the safety
of the citizens of this county.
Once again, being an accessory
means preventing the
arrest, prosecution...
And incarceration
of an alleged felon.
I know what the statute says.
Then you should also
know that you're violating it.
The letter,
maybe, not the
spirit. Do you think
that your source is the only
teenager working for Riggs?
No.
Do you think that she's
the only one he abused?
No. How many
do you think that
he's abused since you
first refused to
disclose your source?
This isn't getting us anywhere.
Three? Four?
And how many kids does
he have to destroy before
you stop protecting him?
Miss Mills.
Please.
He beats them.
Even when they work for him,
he beats them; what do
you think he's going to do
to someone who turns him in?
We'll protect her.
For now, maybe.
What about in a month, when
you've moved on to another case?
What about in a year, when
Riggs gets out on parole?
What're you going
to do for her then?
I thought a day in jail would
bring you back to your senses.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
I'm not giving you my source.
Then I'll see you in court.
And that'll
be very soon.
♪ ♪
You look as though
you slept in the car.
That'd be correct.
There's too much smoke
damage in the club to sleep there.
How long is it going
to take to clean it up?
The question isn't
how long, it's with what.
Please tell me you
have insurance.
I had insurance.
I had lots of it.
I also had a lot of bills:
premium payments, rent,
rent...
I went for the
roof over my head.
It was a bad choice.
You know, the landlord
can kick you out for this.
She doesn't know yet.
Something like
this, word spreads.
Hey, man, I'm
sorry about the club.
No big deal.
It's just a little smoke damage.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sorry, are we friends?
You tell me.
No, we're not.
Nothing happened
between me and Donna.
You tell me she's still with
you and nothing ever will, okay?
She's still with me.
Is that the truth?
You didn't ask for the truth.
I am now.
What would it matter?
Look, it would.
You go to hell, all right?
Hi. I'm Kelly Taylor.
We have an appointment
with Dr. Monahan.
You and everyone else.
How long's the wait?
You have a 10:30 appointment;
he should get to you around noon.
Good-bye.
Erica.
All these people and
there's only one doctor?
Most people, they didn't
go four years to med school
to ask a bunch of
poor folk to say "ah."
Kelly, I thought you
said this place was run
by that foundation you work at.
Well, we can't force
people to work here.
Well, the doctor who
volunteered must have graduated,
what, last in his class?
Either that or he's
incredibly dedicated
and totally caring.
That's why you asked me here?
Yes. To tell you what
I'd be willing to do.
To tell me you're
willing to give me
a thousand dollars a month.
If the kid's mine.
A thousand dollars a
month I didn't ask for.
If the kid is mine.
Let me tell you something...
If the child is yours,
you are legally required
to pay support, okay?
So thanks for nothing.
You're a jerk. You know that?
I'm a jerk?
You show up
out of nowhere, turn my life
upside down and I'm a jerk, huh?
Well, I'm sorry.
It's just that I'm carrying
the most precious
baby inside of me,
and you seem to
think that I am carrying
this incredible burden.
This isn't about how
I feel about the baby.
And I resent you saying that.
Well, a father is a father.
Not just an ATM.
Hey, kid.
Thought I'd see what
you've done to the place.
Check in on Brandon.
How's he doing?
Hello?
Hey, Dad, when you got
my birth mother pregnant,
how did you handle it?
What do you mean?
I mean, did you accept
responsibility right away?
No. No, not right away.
Why?
I was just curious.
Hey.
If you're here to criticize,
I'll save you the trouble.
No, I-I heard about the fire.
And I, I just wanted to
see if you needed anything.
Really? Heard from who?
David...
From who?
The point is...
No, the point is...
you heard from Noah, right?
What, were you guys
on a date, on a sail,
walking on the beach
hand in hand?
Yeah, I did, I, I
heard it from him.
But I'm concerned.
And I thought that i-if
you need a place to stay,
maybe you could come
back to the apartment.
You know, until you
get things in order.
What things would those be?
My office?
My finances?
My love life?
What?
Look, you need a place to stay.
I have a room. You
still have your key?
I don't believe you.
Yesterday, you-you practically
kicked me out of the apartment,
and what, now you
want me to move back in?
That was yesterday.
Today you're in trouble,
and I want to help you.
I don't need your help.
David, you can't
sleep in your car.
Where I sleep and what I
do is my business, all right?
Not yours.
Yeah, yeah, keep your pants on.
God, you bastard!
What's the matter with
you? I can't believe you!
Hey, that's enough!
What's this about?
You do that one more time,
I'm gonna slap you
right back, you hear me?
You know what? Maybe you should.
Maybe that'll knock
some sense into me!
God, all this time I
believed your lies.
What are you
talking about, my lies?
You, your money.
You're loaded, aren't you?
So tell me, how
rich is rich, huh?
Did Brandon tell you?
Brandon knew?
No, he kept your
nasty little secret.
God!
I didn't think it was any of
your business and I still don't.
But you made it David's
business, didn't you?
I mean, you bailed
him out, right?
He doesn't know
anything about that, okay?
Unless you tell him.
You can count on it.
You see, I want people
to like me for who
I am, and you...
I liked you for who you were.
You didn't act like it.
And how about the
way you acted, huh?
All high and mighty
about my lying?
Well, who's the liar now?
Look, it's complicated.
I got a lot of things
to figure out right now.
You know what? All I
keep hearing is about a guy
who can't even
tell himself the truth.
Save the explanations for Donna.
She's not gonna be happy
about your lying either.
You were here this morning.
And you want to
see the doctor again?
Yes.
He's just about
through for the day.
Wait, Miss...! Excuse me!
Hi, I'm Kelly Taylor.
Oh, hi, yeah. It's okay.
You're from the Foundation.
You-you came in,
you brought the girl in
for the antibiotic
earlier? Right.
Right. I'll be with you
in just a second. Okay.
This young man has
a stomachache, right?
Can you tell me where it hurts?
Hmm? Right there, right there?
Well, let's take a listen.
Hmm. Can you cough?
Good. Again.
Yeah.
So what have you been
doing at the Foundation?
Oh, I've been, uh, sort of
rotating through different jobs.
But I was thinking you could
use a good administrator.
What I could use is someone
to comfort these people.
It's just indigestion.
Keep him on a bland diet,
he'll be okay. Huh?
Give me five.
They're scared when
they come in here.
They don't understand
what's wrong with them.
The paperwork's confusing.
Some of them don't
even speak English.
They need reassurance.
I can give them that.
Or I can try.
When can you start?
I just have to clear it with
the Foundation higher-ups.
Maybe later this week.
I'll see you then.
Great.
Welcome to hell.
Thanks.
So, what was her name?
Who, her?
No, the girl you got pregnant.
I mean I can put
two and two together.
Or in this case, one and one.
Look, slow down, Dad.
I don't know that I got
her pregnant, okay?
Her name's Jodi.
So what are you planning
on doing about Jodi?
Well, she wants
me to participate.
I told her that it
wasn't practical for me.
Hmm.
Well, she's right,
and you're wrong.
I hardly know her.
I hardly knew your birth mother.
Which is why you bolted
when you got her pregnant.
Mm. I took
responsibility for you.
Yeah, when? Right away?
I don't think so.
It took a few weeks, sure.
I don't blame you
for needing the same.
A few weeks?
It's gonna take a
lot more than that.
My life's over, Dad.
You only think so now.
But from where I sit,
getting your birth
mother pregnant...
the best thing that
ever happened to me.
Because I've got you.
It's Noah. Leave a
message, and I might return.
Bad time?
No. Hi, I just...
um...
You got a date or something?
Depends.
I'm a pretty secretive guy.
I have a hard time opening
up, I stop by without calling,
I love hot Indian food,
and, uh, I always say
what's on my mind.
No, you don't.
What?
Say what's on your mind.
Dinner.
Dinner?
And probably dessert.
So if what happened
before, you know,
was just an accident,
what would this be?
Deliberate, pre-meditated.
Full of possibilities.
That's fair.
There's something
else on my mind.
What?
I'm not as broke
as I made it seem.
What exactly does that mean?
I'm one of the Hunters.
Hunter Oil?
That's my family.
Is this some kind of joke?
No, it's not.
So, what? You... you've
just been lying to all of us?
What did you expect me to say?
Couldn't you just have
been honest with me?
I was trying to.
I was running away. I
wanted to see what it'd be like
to be someone other
than Noah Hunter.
Believe me,
it's a long, confused list.
Do you like chicken vindaloo?
It's Indian food.
Kind of a peace offering.
With hot chilies?
Is there any other kind?
Mm. You're buying.
Um...
I was, I was planning
on calling you.
Let me guess, your phone book
got burned in the fire?
Well, it could have.
The fire marshal says
he hasn't been informed
which insurance company
to file his report with.
You know, there's really
not that much damage
here... probably wouldn't
be more than the deductible.
Let's cut to it, shall we?!
You have no insurance.
You can't pay for repairs.
You're always
behind on your rent.
And your lease is up.
I can do better.
And I'm sure you
will... somewhere else.
Brandon...
you knew the whole
time? About Noah?
When did you find out?
What difference does that make?
You want a prize for
keeping me in the dark?
It wasn't like that, Val.
You knew I lost my money!
Look, Brandon, look, you
knew how I felt about Noah.
Brandon?
Look, you know
what this meant to me.
Is this about him,
or is this about you?
You made me look
like an idiot, okay?
Thanks for nothing.
What was Valerie bagging about?
She's just trying to blame me
for her two-timing Noah.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
Um, I'm gonna be moving
to a new position
at the Foundation.
I'm gonna be helping
out at a free clinic.
That sounds exciting.
Congratulations.
Thanks. Now, Brandon,
I think that you should talk
to Erica about her helping you.
Kel, it's the end
of a very long day.
I don't want to
have another fight.
What do you want?
Riggs in jail with
the key thrown away.
You can do that.
Sure, by catching
him in the act...
having the police arrest
him on a different charge.
That you can't do.
Sure, he can.
I thought you were sleeping.
All you have to
do is gain his trust.
And how do I do that?
By using me.
Hi. Uh, come on in.
I'm putting Zach to bed.
Steve?
Carly, I'm gonna do it...
if-if it's mine.
I'm gonna take responsibility.
Be a real father.
Mom!
In a second, honey.
Why don't you go
brush your teeth?
I know this may hurt
what you and I have.
Mom!
God knows you have
a lot on your plate.
So I... I'd certainly understand
if you didn't want
to be a part of this.
But I do.
You do?
Yeah.
Oh.
Mom.
Can you finish the story?
You better finish that story.
Give me a few?
You'll be there
with me tomorrow?
The doctor's office?
I wouldn't be anywhere else.
Come on.
It wasn't too hot.
Oh, yeah? I saw
your eyes watering.
It wasn't the vindaloo.
It was... something
you said moved me.
Oh, right.
But I was thinking
about your eyes, too.
Uh-huh? Nice save.
You know, I'm glad you
were honest about the money.
It must have been tough.
I had a really
nice time tonight.
So did I. In a deliberate,
pre-meditated kind of way.
Is there any other kind?
Not anymore.
Good night.
Good night.
Hi.
David, what-what
are you doing here?
Um...
I was trying to get
a good night's sleep.
I thought you said you
weren't coming here tonight.
I kind of wish I hadn't.
I'm sorry you had to see that.
Not half as sorry as I am.
Please don't be mad at me.
I really couldn't handle
you being mad at me.
Well, I guess that depends
on where you've been.
And how much money
you've made me.
Come on.
I was in Las Vegas. Uh-huh?
And I suppose I
should have called.
Yeah, you're damn right
you should have called.
Look, I made out pretty good.
Oh, really? That's what
you always say, sweet thing.
And you're always lying to me.
Look, this time it's
true, okay? Honest.
We never should have agreed
to do this. He's hurting her.
We've got her covered.
We didn't really have
much of a choice, Kel.
This way, Riggs'll think
Erica's been arrested, as well.
The only people testifying
against her in court
will be the detectives.
So we're
protecting her? Yes.
Then why are we
putting her in danger?
Good, let's see it.
Take it.
Whoa. Not bad. Mm-hmm.
Hey, maybe all
your little girlfriends
have been wrong about you.
And another thing.
This guy, the one over
there, he does major crack.
Oh, yeah? Where'd you find him?
Coming out of some
club on Santa Monica.
We went to party.
Please talk to my friend.
You know, it's a good
thing you're pretty,
because you're one
bad-tempered little thing.
Come on. Introduce me to him.
Walk him over to the car, go on.
- All right
You've got him on
possession. If he solicits,
you get him on
dealing, too, right?
Yeah, not only drugs, but
maybe a concealed weapon, too.
Wait, you think
he's carrying a gun?
The more we get him on,
the longer he goes away.
If she's hurt...
Don't worry. The guy
behind the cocaine
is the best detective we have.
Hi.
I understand you're
looking to connect, huh?
I really need a couple
of dimes. You holding?
Oh, you're buying, I'm selling.
Here you go.
Looks good. How much?
We're talking a Franklin here.
My favorite president.
Good.
Here you go, my
friend. Gracias, amigos.
All right, now!
Hold it!
Hands in the air! Come on. What?
Freeze! Don't move!
What's going on?
You're under arrest for
possession with intent
to distribute. What?
What's going on?
Get her in! Get in
the car. Come on.
Riggs, don't leave me! Riggs!
Hey, it's all right, honey.
Don't worry about it.
Everything's gonna be
fine. Come on, take it easy.
Al, call it in. Code four.
Suspect's in custody.
Come on, sweetie.
You okay?
You think he bought it?
Yeah. You did good.
Mr. Sanders. Miss...?
Reynolds.
We have the results of the
DNA testing for Jodi Carlyle.
And?
It's negative.
Ah!
Yes.
You have only a one
in five billion chance
of being the father.
I'm not the father?
No. You're not.
Thank you so much.
If you have any more
questions, I'll be down the hall.
It's over.
No.
A little something I've
got to talk to Jodi about.
Come on.
You look like hell.
Funny, that's exactly
where I've been.
You know, I never noticed
Noah's pitchfork before.
You were on the boat?
Hmm. The apartment.
Donna offered me a room.
Unfortunately, she offered
Noah everything else.
You know, seeing them kiss?
That I didn't need.
Well, it gets worse.
That's not possible.
Noah was the one
who paid off your loan.
Noah?
No way.
Way. Way, way.
Apparently he's a bit better off
than he led us to believe.
Millions better off.
You're serious.
So, he steals my girl and
saves my butt at the same time?
Maybe he thought it
would soften the blow.
Well, I'm gonna go
let him know it didn't.
She's here.
Hi. Hi.
Come in.
I heard.
Congratulations, I guess.
What are you going
to do about the kid?
I'm going to be a good mom.
You know, Jodi, you let
me think I was the only guy.
Well, there was someone
else just before I met you.
I can't believe you lied
about something so important.
I... I can't believe that.
He was okay, I guess,
but I was hoping that you
would turn out to be the guy.
That's no excuse for
putting me through hell.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
Are you going to
tell the real father?
Yeah.
Look, Steve... Look...
let's just hope he
does the right thing.
For the kid's sake.
Yeah, I hope he does, too.
Ready.
So, you've got everything?
Passport...
tickets... and a pretty
incredible story for Dylan.
Well, it's not
exactly a fairy tale,
but at least it has
a happy ending.
Yeah, thanks to you guys.
Please, if it wasn't for you,
I'd be in prison right now.
You know, no one's ever
stood up for me like that before.
I'll never forget it.
We've got to get going.
Brandon? Hmm?
If things hadn't worked out,
would you have
gone to jail for her?
That depends if I could have
gotten conjugal visits or not.
Donna, hey.
Hey.
Is, uh... is Noah here with you?
Um...
Hey, Donna.
David, I want to talk to you.
Noah, hey.
I didn't ask for your help.
You were in trouble. I
was trying to help you, man.
You're a real friend.
The point is, you're
back in business.
No, I'm back in business until
my lease expires next week.
You got an indefinite
extension, believe me.
Wait a second, you didn't...
Buy her out?
I made her an offer. You
know what I'm saying?
What do you think, you can
just take Donna from me and then
make everything all right by NOAH:
That's not the way it happened.
Throwing your money around?
You guys, calm down, okay?
Don't worry about me.
Run your club.
You know what?
I don't want to run the club.
You run it.
David?
What just happened?
Just what I was afraid of. My
money is ruining everything.
Noah!
David, hi.
You know what, I'm just
about to get going so...
I just need a minute, two tops.
No, look, if this
is about Noah...
No, why would
this be about Noah?
Well, I don't know. Maybe
'cause the last time I saw you,
all you wanted to do
was argue about him.
That was before I
realized what an angel you were.
Don't. Angel?
You know, I lie.
I give you every
reason to hate me
and you still come through.
How did I come through?
Donna...
By paying off my debt to Sands.
Sands? Everett Sands.
The guy I borrowed the
money from, the loan shark.
And I promise,
I'll pay you back, all
right? All 15 grand.
When did you borrow
money from this guy?
What do you mean, when? When?
As in before or
after you confessed
to being in so much trouble?
Before. So what you
said was the truth
was really a lie.
It wasn't you, was it?
You...
you didn't pay off Sands?
No.
How could it be?
You kept it a secret from
me, just like everything else.
I think you should go now.
Don...
David.
Please. Come on, let's go.
Wait a second,
you're kicking me out?
Yeah. Good-bye.
So what does Brandon
think of your new haircut?
He loves it. Good.
Hey, good morning.
Good morning. Mmm!
Did you ever hook up with Dylan?
Yeah, about ten minutes ago.
You didn't tell him
about me, did you?
Didn't have to.
Iris, right?
Actually, she did you a
favor, if you think about it.
You don't want to
go live with Dylan?
No way.
Are you serious?
Mm-hmm.
It was her idea.
She knows how close
you and Dylan are.
Not that she doesn't want you.
She does. It's just
she thinks that for
now it would be better
if custody were
transferred to Dylan.
This is so cool.
But I can't leave yet.
Not while you're still in
trouble because of me.
I'm not in trouble. What about
the district attorney?
Eh, she threatened
me. I called her bluff.
She's torturing
somebody else already.
It's over.
Don't worry.
I'm telling you,
she's forgotten all about me.
Brandon Walsh, we have
a warrant for your arrest.
You are being charged with
being an accessory to a felony,
Section 32 of the Penal Code.
Brandon, what's going on?
It's just a
misunderstanding, Kel.
Call a lawyer, will you?
You have the right
to remain silent.
If you give up your
right to remain silent,
anything you say can and will
be used against
you in a court of law.

Hi.
Hey, Carly. How is he?
Well, on a scale
of one to ten? 2,000.
I-I like kids.
Oh, who's kidding? I love kids.
But other people's kids.
Maybe even my kids,
too, when I'm ready,
but I'm not even ready yet!
Uh, Danish?
You have to eat.
You think this is my kid?
How long until you get
the test results back?
46 hours and 29 minutes.
Give or take.
I think you'd be
pretty exacting, too,
if your world was
coming to an end.
Well, I thought you
were at peace with this.
I haven't slept in days.
I'm literally so anxious,
I-I can feel...
my heart racing in my chest!
Ah, I get sick
when I think about
what Jodi's doing to me.
She's only asking
for your help
if it's your child.
Is that supposed to
make me feel better?
Is it?
Because it doesn't.
She wants this kid,
and it's her choice.
I've got no choice.
Nothing. Zip!
Zilch! Zero!
Yeah, what?!
Lawyer?
Yeah, I'm sure he can.
All right. I'm on it. I'm there.
What?
Brandon got arrested today.
We can't touch.
Are you okay?
Yeah, sure, all
things considered.
They took my belt
and my watch.
Really don't feel
the need to spend
much more time inside.
I can't believe
this is happening.
Steve talked to Rush.
He's got a lawyer
working on bail.
She says I should be
home in time for dinner.
Did she say how to get these
ridiculous charges dropped?
She didn't have to tell me.
I know.
I'm not doing it.
Brandon. Kel...
we've been over this.
Then let's go over it again.
No.
Brandon, you could
go to jail for five years.
But I won't.
I'm doing the right thing.
Not according to the D.A.
The D.A.'s wrong and a
judge and jury will see that.
And what if they don't?
They will.
But what if they don't?
Okay, let me get this straight.
Donna dumps you.
She immediately
starts seeing Noah,
and you think she's the
one who bailed you out?
It was a selfless thing to do
and I don't know
many selfless people.
Present company excluded.
Hey, I would've asked you if
you weren't, uh, unemployed
and broke. Thanks. I think.
Steve, Kelly and Brandon
don't have that kind of cash.
Well, uh, how about your dad?
No way.
Noah's broke.
Carly's broke.
Donna's...
Sleeping with the enemy.
She is not. Okay.
Petting with the
enemy. It still hurts.
What about asking your
friend, uh, the loan shark?
Sands?
What and be mistaken
for a punching bag again?
No, thanks.
Well, maybe he'll treat
me with more respect.
Why are you so interested
in who paid off my debt?
Don't you want to know
who bailed you out?
Yeah.
What was I thinking? Money!
Let me guess.
You caught a whiff
of that cold, hard cash.
Just let me know how
you got ahold of Sands.
Dan, the Bartender.
Well, you can't
find a loan shark
in the Yellow Pages.
Well, then we'll just
have a little chat with Dan.
Oh, boy.
Come in.
Hey. Hey, stranger.
What's up with the camera gear?
I just thought I'd take
some test shots of the boat.
There's talk of a shoot here.
Shoot away.
It's been a long time.
Yeah, I, uh, I've been
working real hard.
So you just stopped by to
check on your boat, huh?
You mad?
No, I just prefer
honesty is all.
You didn't stay away
because of work.
You stayed away
because of David.
Look, David and I just broke up.
I just felt like I was
moving too fast.
Is that bad?
No, it's just not what
I would have done.
You know, maybe me coming
here wasn't such a good idea.
That's your call.
You're not giving me much here.
Look, what happened last week
was pretty spur of the moment.
We shouldn't
feel guilty about it.
It's what we do
next that counts.
So what do we do next?
Take some test shots.
Beyond that, we'll just
wait and see what happens.
I know you think what
Brandon's doing is wrong,
but try to see
things from his side.
Like you're doing with Jodi?
That's different.
No, it's the same.
They're both facing
hard decisions
and they're making
choices that we don't like.
Brandon's fighting
for a principle.
Jodi's trying to change my life.
That's a whole
different ball game.
I guess you're
right, but, Steve,
if Brandon goes to jail, it's
going to change my life, too.
Hello, you two.
Hi, Dad. DONNA: Hey.
You're looking good, son.
Hi, Kelly. Hey.
How are you?
All right, depending
on your news. All right.
Brandon made bail.
He'll be out in a few minutes.
Thank you for all of your help.
Just a little debt of gratitude
I owe this guy for
putting me on the straight
and narrow. You're not still mad
at me for the sweatshop deal?
Well, it was a hell
of a life's lesson.
Mad? Couldn't be more proud.
What about this fiasco?
Free at last. Free at last.
Well, he emerges unscathed.
Completely.
Hey, baby.
Uh, Kelly, Steve, this is Ann.
Ann, this is Kelly and Steve.
Hi. Hello. Ann's my new hero.
You should've heard what
she said to bust me out of there.
Nothing I don't believe in.
Freedom of the press,
the First Amendment...
Those are easy to defend.
And to promote, too.
I can see the headlines now.
"Editor Imprisoned: Martyr
For the Rights of Others."
What do you think? You sure
you really want to use the word
"martyr" in the
headline? Why not?
I love it.
Yeah, we should
do a second edition.
Pump it up. That's
not a bad idea.
You guys act like
you won something.
Kel?
No.
What do we do now?
Mills wants us back
here tomorrow morning
for a meeting, 8:00.
Don't you see,
Brandon? It's not over.
It's barely started.

Single file, that's

Call 911!
Everybody's safe.
I called the fire
department. It's all right.
The fire's out, the fire's out.
What was that you were
saying about my luck?
Lighten up, David.
At least the place
didn't burn down.
What the hell am I
supposed to do now?
I'm homeless.
I told you to get him
four of the Polish stuff
and two of the Russian.
Now!
What a jerk.
Who, me?
I've got a terrible
feeling that you're lost.
Well, not if you're
Everett Sands.
Guilty as charged.
Well, then I'm
in the right place.
Hi, I'm Valerie Malone.
I'm a friend of Dan's
from the After Dark.
Are you in difficulty?
'Cause, um, I could set up
some very favorable terms.
Yeah, I'm sure you could.
But I'm here because
of a friend of mine.
David Silver.
You want to do business
with me, we'll do business.
Not talk about other
people's business.
Well, I was hoping
maybe I could bribe you.
I don't know, with my charm.
Seems to me you
have quite a lot of that.
What's your angle?
Well, just think of me as
a nice girl with bad habits.
I might need someone
to bail me out sometime.
A name would be really helpful.
You didn't hear it from me.
Hunter.
Noah Hunter.
Noah Hunter?
You must have the wrong name.
I didn't ask for his I.D.,
but that's definitely
the guy's name.
Noah Hunter.
He's a bum.
Maybe, but he's a bum
with a lot of cash in his jeans.
No way. He's broke.
He works on boats for a living.
I don't know what
he does for fun.
But believe me,
this kid is loaded.
And I'm not talking
chump change either.
This is serious money.
Excuse me.
My position has the support
of the Bill of
Rights, Miss Mills.
It seems to me
that the Constitution
carries a little more
weight than what...
I don't need a lecture from you
on the constitutional
law, Mr. Walsh.
I'm the assistant
district attorney.
My responsibility is the safety
of the citizens of this county.
Once again, being an accessory
means preventing the
arrest, prosecution...
And incarceration
of an alleged felon.
I know what the statute says.
Then you should also
know that you're violating it.
The letter,
maybe, not the
spirit. Do you think
that your source is the only
teenager working for Riggs?
No.
Do you think that she's
the only one he abused?
No. How many
do you think that
he's abused since you
first refused to
disclose your source?
This isn't getting us anywhere.
Three? Four?
And how many kids does
he have to destroy before
you stop protecting him?
Miss Mills.
Please.
He beats them.
Even when they work for him,
he beats them; what do
you think he's going to do
to someone who turns him in?
We'll protect her.
For now, maybe.
What about in a month, when
you've moved on to another case?
What about in a year, when
Riggs gets out on parole?
What're you going
to do for her then?
I thought a day in jail would
bring you back to your senses.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
I'm not giving you my source.
Then I'll see you in court.
And that'll
be very soon.
♪ ♪
You look as though
you slept in the car.
That'd be correct.
There's too much smoke
damage in the club to sleep there.
How long is it going
to take to clean it up?
The question isn't
how long, it's with what.
Please tell me you
have insurance.
I had insurance.
I had lots of it.
I also had a lot of bills:
premium payments, rent,
rent...
I went for the
roof over my head.
It was a bad choice.
You know, the landlord
can kick you out for this.
She doesn't know yet.
Something like
this, word spreads.
Hey, man, I'm
sorry about the club.
No big deal.
It's just a little smoke damage.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sorry, are we friends?
You tell me.
No, we're not.
Nothing happened
between me and Donna.
You tell me she's still with
you and nothing ever will, okay?
She's still with me.
Is that the truth?
You didn't ask for the truth.
I am now.
What would it matter?
Look, it would.
You go to hell, all right?
Hi. I'm Kelly Taylor.
We have an appointment
with Dr. Monahan.
You and everyone else.
How long's the wait?
You have a 10:30 appointment;
he should get to you around noon.
Good-bye.
Erica.
All these people and
there's only one doctor?
Most people, they didn't
go four years to med school
to ask a bunch of
poor folk to say "ah."
Kelly, I thought you
said this place was run
by that foundation you work at.
Well, we can't force
people to work here.
Well, the doctor who
volunteered must have graduated,
what, last in his class?
Either that or he's
incredibly dedicated
and totally caring.
That's why you asked me here?
Yes. To tell you what
I'd be willing to do.
To tell me you're
willing to give me
a thousand dollars a month.
If the kid's mine.
A thousand dollars a
month I didn't ask for.
If the kid is mine.
Let me tell you something...
If the child is yours,
you are legally required
to pay support, okay?
So thanks for nothing.
You're a jerk. You know that?
I'm a jerk?
You show up
out of nowhere, turn my life
upside down and I'm a jerk, huh?
Well, I'm sorry.
It's just that I'm carrying
the most precious
baby inside of me,
and you seem to
think that I am carrying
this incredible burden.
This isn't about how
I feel about the baby.
And I resent you saying that.
Well, a father is a father.
Not just an ATM.
Hey, kid.
Thought I'd see what
you've done to the place.
Check in on Brandon.
How's he doing?
Hello?
Hey, Dad, when you got
my birth mother pregnant,
how did you handle it?
What do you mean?
I mean, did you accept
responsibility right away?
No. No, not right away.
Why?
I was just curious.
Hey.
If you're here to criticize,
I'll save you the trouble.
No, I-I heard about the fire.
And I, I just wanted to
see if you needed anything.
Really? Heard from who?
David...
From who?
The point is...
No, the point is...
you heard from Noah, right?
What, were you guys
on a date, on a sail,
walking on the beach
hand in hand?
Yeah, I did, I, I
heard it from him.
But I'm concerned.
And I thought that i-if
you need a place to stay,
maybe you could come
back to the apartment.
You know, until you
get things in order.
What things would those be?
My office?
My finances?
My love life?
What?
Look, you need a place to stay.
I have a room. You
still have your key?
I don't believe you.
Yesterday, you-you practically
kicked me out of the apartment,
and what, now you
want me to move back in?
That was yesterday.
Today you're in trouble,
and I want to help you.
I don't need your help.
David, you can't
sleep in your car.
Where I sleep and what I
do is my business, all right?
Not yours.
Yeah, yeah, keep your pants on.
God, you bastard!
What's the matter with
you? I can't believe you!
Hey, that's enough!
What's this about?
You do that one more time,
I'm gonna slap you
right back, you hear me?
You know what? Maybe you should.
Maybe that'll knock
some sense into me!
God, all this time I
believed your lies.
What are you
talking about, my lies?
You, your money.
You're loaded, aren't you?
So tell me, how
rich is rich, huh?
Did Brandon tell you?
Brandon knew?
No, he kept your
nasty little secret.
God!
I didn't think it was any of
your business and I still don't.
But you made it David's
business, didn't you?
I mean, you bailed
him out, right?
He doesn't know
anything about that, okay?
Unless you tell him.
You can count on it.
You see, I want people
to like me for who
I am, and you...
I liked you for who you were.
You didn't act like it.
And how about the
way you acted, huh?
All high and mighty
about my lying?
Well, who's the liar now?
Look, it's complicated.
I got a lot of things
to figure out right now.
You know what? All I
keep hearing is about a guy
who can't even
tell himself the truth.
Save the explanations for Donna.
She's not gonna be happy
about your lying either.
You were here this morning.
And you want to
see the doctor again?
Yes.
He's just about
through for the day.
Wait, Miss...! Excuse me!
Hi, I'm Kelly Taylor.
Oh, hi, yeah. It's okay.
You're from the Foundation.
You-you came in,
you brought the girl in
for the antibiotic
earlier? Right.
Right. I'll be with you
in just a second. Okay.
This young man has
a stomachache, right?
Can you tell me where it hurts?
Hmm? Right there, right there?
Well, let's take a listen.
Hmm. Can you cough?
Good. Again.
Yeah.
So what have you been
doing at the Foundation?
Oh, I've been, uh, sort of
rotating through different jobs.
But I was thinking you could
use a good administrator.
What I could use is someone
to comfort these people.
It's just indigestion.
Keep him on a bland diet,
he'll be okay. Huh?
Give me five.
They're scared when
they come in here.
They don't understand
what's wrong with them.
The paperwork's confusing.
Some of them don't
even speak English.
They need reassurance.
I can give them that.
Or I can try.
When can you start?
I just have to clear it with
the Foundation higher-ups.
Maybe later this week.
I'll see you then.
Great.
Welcome to hell.
Thanks.
So, what was her name?
Who, her?
No, the girl you got pregnant.
I mean I can put
two and two together.
Or in this case, one and one.
Look, slow down, Dad.
I don't know that I got
her pregnant, okay?
Her name's Jodi.
So what are you planning
on doing about Jodi?
Well, she wants
me to participate.
I told her that it
wasn't practical for me.
Hmm.
Well, she's right,
and you're wrong.
I hardly know her.
I hardly knew your birth mother.
Which is why you bolted
when you got her pregnant.
Mm. I took
responsibility for you.
Yeah, when? Right away?
I don't think so.
It took a few weeks, sure.
I don't blame you
for needing the same.
A few weeks?
It's gonna take a
lot more than that.
My life's over, Dad.
You only think so now.
But from where I sit,
getting your birth
mother pregnant...
the best thing that
ever happened to me.
Because I've got you.
It's Noah. Leave a
message, and I might return.
Bad time?
No. Hi, I just...
um...
You got a date or something?
Depends.
I'm a pretty secretive guy.
I have a hard time opening
up, I stop by without calling,
I love hot Indian food,
and, uh, I always say
what's on my mind.
No, you don't.
What?
Say what's on your mind.
Dinner.
Dinner?
And probably dessert.
So if what happened
before, you know,
was just an accident,
what would this be?
Deliberate, pre-meditated.
Full of possibilities.
That's fair.
There's something
else on my mind.
What?
I'm not as broke
as I made it seem.
What exactly does that mean?
I'm one of the Hunters.
Hunter Oil?
That's my family.
Is this some kind of joke?
No, it's not.
So, what? You... you've
just been lying to all of us?
What did you expect me to say?
Couldn't you just have
been honest with me?
I was trying to.
I was running away. I
wanted to see what it'd be like
to be someone other
than Noah Hunter.
Believe me,
it's a long, confused list.
Do you like chicken vindaloo?
It's Indian food.
Kind of a peace offering.
With hot chilies?
Is there any other kind?
Mm. You're buying.
Um...
I was, I was planning
on calling you.
Let me guess, your phone book
got burned in the fire?
Well, it could have.
The fire marshal says
he hasn't been informed
which insurance company
to file his report with.
You know, there's really
not that much damage
here... probably wouldn't
be more than the deductible.
Let's cut to it, shall we?!
You have no insurance.
You can't pay for repairs.
You're always
behind on your rent.
And your lease is up.
I can do better.
And I'm sure you
will... somewhere else.
Brandon...
you knew the whole
time? About Noah?
When did you find out?
What difference does that make?
You want a prize for
keeping me in the dark?
It wasn't like that, Val.
You knew I lost my money!
Look, Brandon, look, you
knew how I felt about Noah.
Brandon?
Look, you know
what this meant to me.
Is this about him,
or is this about you?
You made me look
like an idiot, okay?
Thanks for nothing.
What was Valerie bagging about?
She's just trying to blame me
for her two-timing Noah.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
Um, I'm gonna be moving
to a new position
at the Foundation.
I'm gonna be helping
out at a free clinic.
That sounds exciting.
Congratulations.
Thanks. Now, Brandon,
I think that you should talk
to Erica about her helping you.
Kel, it's the end
of a very long day.
I don't want to
have another fight.
What do you want?
Riggs in jail with
the key thrown away.
You can do that.
Sure, by catching
him in the act...
having the police arrest
him on a different charge.
That you can't do.
Sure, he can.
I thought you were sleeping.
All you have to
do is gain his trust.
And how do I do that?
By using me.
Hi. Uh, come on in.
I'm putting Zach to bed.
Steve?
Carly, I'm gonna do it...
if-if it's mine.
I'm gonna take responsibility.
Be a real father.
Mom!
In a second, honey.
Why don't you go
brush your teeth?
I know this may hurt
what you and I have.
Mom!
God knows you have
a lot on your plate.
So I... I'd certainly understand
if you didn't want
to be a part of this.
But I do.
You do?
Yeah.
Oh.
Mom.
Can you finish the story?
You better finish that story.
Give me a few?
You'll be there
with me tomorrow?
The doctor's office?
I wouldn't be anywhere else.
Come on.
It wasn't too hot.
Oh, yeah? I saw
your eyes watering.
It wasn't the vindaloo.
It was... something
you said moved me.
Oh, right.
But I was thinking
about your eyes, too.
Uh-huh? Nice save.
You know, I'm glad you
were honest about the money.
It must have been tough.
I had a really
nice time tonight.
So did I. In a deliberate,
pre-meditated kind of way.
Is there any other kind?
Not anymore.
Good night.
Good night.
Hi.
David, what-what
are you doing here?
Um...
I was trying to get
a good night's sleep.
I thought you said you
weren't coming here tonight.
I kind of wish I hadn't.
I'm sorry you had to see that.
Not half as sorry as I am.
Please don't be mad at me.
I really couldn't handle
you being mad at me.
Well, I guess that depends
on where you've been.
And how much money
you've made me.
Come on.
I was in Las Vegas. Uh-huh?
And I suppose I
should have called.
Yeah, you're damn right
you should have called.
Look, I made out pretty good.
Oh, really? That's what
you always say, sweet thing.
And you're always lying to me.
Look, this time it's
true, okay? Honest.
We never should have agreed
to do this. He's hurting her.
We've got her covered.
We didn't really have
much of a choice, Kel.
This way, Riggs'll think
Erica's been arrested, as well.
The only people testifying
against her in court
will be the detectives.
So we're
protecting her? Yes.
Then why are we
putting her in danger?
Good, let's see it.
Take it.
Whoa. Not bad. Mm-hmm.
Hey, maybe all
your little girlfriends
have been wrong about you.
And another thing.
This guy, the one over
there, he does major crack.
Oh, yeah? Where'd you find him?
Coming out of some
club on Santa Monica.
We went to party.
Please talk to my friend.
You know, it's a good
thing you're pretty,
because you're one
bad-tempered little thing.
Come on. Introduce me to him.
Walk him over to the car, go on.
- All right
You've got him on
possession. If he solicits,
you get him on
dealing, too, right?
Yeah, not only drugs, but
maybe a concealed weapon, too.
Wait, you think
he's carrying a gun?
The more we get him on,
the longer he goes away.
If she's hurt...
Don't worry. The guy
behind the cocaine
is the best detective we have.
Hi.
I understand you're
looking to connect, huh?
I really need a couple
of dimes. You holding?
Oh, you're buying, I'm selling.
Here you go.
Looks good. How much?
We're talking a Franklin here.
My favorite president.
Good.
Here you go, my
friend. Gracias, amigos.
All right, now!
Hold it!
Hands in the air! Come on. What?
Freeze! Don't move!
What's going on?
You're under arrest for
possession with intent
to distribute. What?
What's going on?
Get her in! Get in
the car. Come on.
Riggs, don't leave me! Riggs!
Hey, it's all right, honey.
Don't worry about it.
Everything's gonna be
fine. Come on, take it easy.
Al, call it in. Code four.
Suspect's in custody.
Come on, sweetie.
You okay?
You think he bought it?
Yeah. You did good.
Mr. Sanders. Miss...?
Reynolds.
We have the results of the
DNA testing for Jodi Carlyle.
And?
It's negative.
Ah!
Yes.
You have only a one
in five billion chance
of being the father.
I'm not the father?
No. You're not.
Thank you so much.
If you have any more
questions, I'll be down the hall.
It's over.
No.
A little something I've
got to talk to Jodi about.
Come on.
You look like hell.
Funny, that's exactly
where I've been.
You know, I never noticed
Noah's pitchfork before.
You were on the boat?
Hmm. The apartment.
Donna offered me a room.
Unfortunately, she offered
Noah everything else.
You know, seeing them kiss?
That I didn't need.
Well, it gets worse.
That's not possible.
Noah was the one
who paid off your loan.
Noah?
No way.
Way. Way, way.
Apparently he's a bit better off
than he led us to believe.
Millions better off.
You're serious.
So, he steals my girl and
saves my butt at the same time?
Maybe he thought it
would soften the blow.
Well, I'm gonna go
let him know it didn't.
She's here.
Hi. Hi.
Come in.
I heard.
Congratulations, I guess.
What are you going
to do about the kid?
I'm going to be a good mom.
You know, Jodi, you let
me think I was the only guy.
Well, there was someone
else just before I met you.
I can't believe you lied
about something so important.
I... I can't believe that.
He was okay, I guess,
but I was hoping that you
would turn out to be the guy.
That's no excuse for
putting me through hell.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
Are you going to
tell the real father?
Yeah.
Look, Steve... Look...
let's just hope he
does the right thing.
For the kid's sake.
Yeah, I hope he does, too.
Ready.
So, you've got everything?
Passport...
tickets... and a pretty
incredible story for Dylan.
Well, it's not
exactly a fairy tale,
but at least it has
a happy ending.
Yeah, thanks to you guys.
Please, if it wasn't for you,
I'd be in prison right now.
You know, no one's ever
stood up for me like that before.
I'll never forget it.
We've got to get going.
Brandon? Hmm?
If things hadn't worked out,
would you have
gone to jail for her?
That depends if I could have
gotten conjugal visits or not.
Donna, hey.
Hey.
Is, uh... is Noah here with you?
Um...
Hey, Donna.
David, I want to talk to you.
Noah, hey.
I didn't ask for your help.
You were in trouble. I
was trying to help you, man.
You're a real friend.
The point is, you're
back in business.
No, I'm back in business until
my lease expires next week.
You got an indefinite
extension, believe me.
Wait a second, you didn't...
Buy her out?
I made her an offer. You
know what I'm saying?
What do you think, you can
just take Donna from me and then
make everything all right by NOAH:
That's not the way it happened.
Throwing your money around?
You guys, calm down, okay?
Don't worry about me.
Run your club.
You know what?
I don't want to run the club.
You run it.
David?
What just happened?
Just what I was afraid of. My
money is ruining everything.
Noah!
