Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 22 - Law and Disorder - full transcript

So, when you came to,

you realized you'd been drugged.

Correct? Yes.

Beverly Hills police
confirmed positive

for Rohypnol in your blood.

That's right.

Rohypnol... isn't that what's
known as the date rape drug?

Yes, it is.

So, in slang terms,
you'd been roofed.

The drug had been
slipped into your drink.

Yes.



Well, how did this
make you feel?

Um... woozy?

I was completely disoriented.

So, tell us, Ms. Malone,

after the Rohypnol wore off,

how did you become aware

that you had been raped?

Objection! I'll rephrase.

Go on.

When you came to in
Noah Hunter's office,

were your clothes on

or off? They were off.

And who was next to
you getting dressed?

Noah Hunter.



Is he here in this
courtroom today? Yes, he is.

Would you point
him out to us, please?

And the person who admitted

to having sex
with you that night,

is he here in the
courtroom today?

Yes.

Would you identify him, please?

The defendant, Noah Hunter.

No further questions.

Miss Evans, your witness.

Miss Malone,

have you ever faked a pregnancy?

Objection! Argumentative.

Overruled.

Have you, Miss Malone?

Well, uh, once, sort of.

"Once, sort of."

And this fake pregnancy,

wasn't it part of

a failed blackmail scheme?

Yes.

To get money from a man with
whom you were having an affair?

Yes.

And weren't you also arrested

"once, sort of" for bookmaking?

Yes.

And wasn't this also a scheme

to gain money
through illegal means?

Yes.

I see.

Tell me, Miss Malone,

were you and
Mr. Hunter ever lovers?

For a short time.

You were in love
with him, correct?

Maybe... yes.

Is that why you
struck Mr. Hunter?

Pardon me?

After Mr. Hunter
broke up with you,

you slapped him across the face.

Why? Well, he lied to me.

He lied to you?

About what?

Well, he told me he was broke
and I found out he had money.

I see. So, that angered you.

Yes.

But while you
were still together

and you thought
Mr. Hunter had no money,

you cheated on
him with a rich man...

A Cooper Hargrove.

Well, yes... but I-I only
saw Cooper a few times.

But when Mr. Hunter
learned about the liaison,

what happened?

He broke up with me.

So, as you said,

shortly thereafter you found out

Mr. Hunter was rich
and that angered you.

In fact, weren't you
furious, Miss Malone?

No.

That you had once again missed
your chance at the big score?

Objection! Argumentative.

Just like you missed your
chance with the faked pregnancy.

Just like you had
missed your chance

when you were
arrested for bookmaking.

No! JUDGE: Miss Evans!

She won't even let her finish!

Isn't that why you consented

to have sex with
Mr. Hunter that night?

Because he had spurned you,

because you had contrived a way

- to get back at him?
- Miss Evans,

that is enough.

Because you want revenge.

No, he raped me!

Did he, Miss Malone?

Did he really?

I thought you were keeping
an open mind about this.

I was until Noah's
attorney shut it.

Valerie should've settled.

For 200,000 when she thought

she could have 10
million? Not our Val.

I just can't believe she's
doing this for money.

Brandon, didn't you
hear the testimony?

The lies, the scams.

Yeah, I heard it and
it's beside the point.

Why are you so blind
when it comes to this girl?

This isn't about her.

It's about him.

Last time I checked,

Noah was the one
on trial. Really?

Could've fooled me.

You know, the jury
couldn't stop drooling

over Valerie's past.
Valerie's no nun, David.

Her character isn't
the issue here, Steve.

Guys, why don't we just
stick to the facts, okay?

The DA didn't file
criminal charges. Because

he couldn't get a conviction,
not because it didn't happen.

Okay, so you're
on Valerie's side.

No, I'm just saying, I
think... Look, Brandon,

in a situation
like this, if you're

not with her,
you're against her.

I don't think so.

I do.

But at least I know

what side you're on now.

Don't twist what I said, Val.

Why? Everybody's
mangling what I say.

Okay.

You know what? He has
always been there for you.

He's the one who defends you.

More than I can say
for the rest of you guys.

But it's not enough.

Hey, come on, don't let
her get to you, all right?

So, what do you think,
is the jury with me?

What, are you kidding?

After the way your
attorney carved her up?

No question. Let's go.

These painkillers...
Aren't you overdoing it?

My back's killing me.

Besides, they're
not painkillers.

Yeah, I gave Donna a
couple of my D-amphetamines.

One time, man. No big deal.

No big deal, huh? These
are prescription drugs.

I took a couple uppers to stay
awake, okay? Look, I know.

I'm just saying, even
with the pressures at work,

you gotta go easy.

Did I ask for your advice or...?

Okay... I'll tell you what,

I'll catch you later, huh, Noah?

Look, I know the
trial's upsetting you.

And your concern,

it really is very touching.

But if you think I'm gonna sit

in there and listen to
the trash they're talking...

Look, I'm not a rapist.

And there's no
other way to prove it.

Your lawyers

are making Valerie out to...
To be some kind of tramp.

She's just trying
to convince the jury

that Valerie's a schemer.

Yes, she is a schemer.

And you slept
with her, didn't you?

Look, I got a job to do.

When court resumes
this afternoon,

don't expect me to be here.

There's gotta be
a way of, like...

We gotta rearrange this whole...

If we... okay, if we
move the bridge...

Um, who's the suit?

I have no idea,

but I think we're
about to find out.

Sounds like a winner, guys.

Frank Saunders.

Q5's senior VP for production.

I thought that was Lola's job.

They haven't told you yet?

There's been a
bit of a shake-up.

There's a new team in place now.

And let me guess,
uh... she's not on it.

We're going for a new
sound. A new approach.

Lola was a big
supporter of ours.

She thought you both
were very talented...

Yes.

Would you excuse me?

I'm gonna give her a call.

Absolutely.

Look, um...

this new sound...

Don't worry, David...

The new sound, it's yours.

It is?

Great, okay.

Great, I mean,

this is huge opportunity for
us, you know... David, David...

I'm sorry, it's-it's
your sound, David.

It's not Jasper's.

Um...

the name of the
band is Jasper's Law.

Maybe.

But the guy we're
interested in...

is you.

The good news is

Remmington loves Donna's
Child's Play collection.

They've committed
to some big numbers.

They've got the whole
crew working nonstop

to fill the order.

You feeling all right, Donna?

No residual back
pain from the accident?

Oh, tell me about back pain.

No, I'm fine. Why?

I just noticed the way
you eased into the chair.

Oh, well, I didn't
want to spill my coffee.

Anyway, the bad news

is that Remmington wants
to do another gig with us.

Bad news? Yeah,

they need the prelims
day after tomorrow.

What? That gives us no time.

What kind of line
are we talking about?

Kids' sleepwear.

Uh, fleece nighties,

one-piece pajamas,
the whole deal.

Look, if your back
is killing you...

Why is everyone so
concerned about...

Excuse me.

Anyway,

Remmington's turning
into a real cash cow

for us.

The clock's gonna be ticking,

pressure'll be on.

No problem. I'm on top of it.

Danielle?

I said

that I'll handle it.

Okay.

It's your call.

I'm gonna need sketches

in 36 hours.

Any other

business?

Good.

I'm starving.

Yeah, Josh Hunter.

Josh, hey, it's Donna.

Listen, you-you
mentioned before that

you had some painkillers also?

And, uh, my
prescription just ran out,

and I thought... Donna, look,

I told you like five phone
calls ago, I am not a pharmacy.

Look, I'm on the other line.

You think maybe I
could get back to you?

Yeah, um, you know, I
thought maybe you could just

give me something to get
over the hump, you know?

I am really, really
not comfortable

about this conversation.

Come on, Josh.

Feels like my filling's are
gonna scream here, okay?

Donna, look, my other
phone call, it's about Noah.

Do you remember him?

He's your boyfriend?

I can meet you at the
courthouse, if you want.

Yeah, well, I'm kinda
focused on the trial right now.

Maybe you should be, too.

David. Hey.

Hey. How are you?

You know, it's funny...
I meant to tell you.

You look really familiar.

Like I've met you before.

Yeah. I was in promotions
before heads rolled.

I had a lot to do with
getting your song airplay.

And I do mean your song.

Well, uh, Jasper
and I are a team.

He's pulling you down.

Um, I don't think so.

Hey, like you said,
I'm new on the job.

Maybe I should
take a second listen.

That song you
were playing earlier...

Could I hear it again?

Yeah, sure,

as soon as Jasper gets here.

Of course.

Thing is, I have
got this meeting

that I've gotta get to and...

Really.

Hey, look, David,

I said I would give
Jasper his due and I will.

Now, how about it? Come on.

One song?

For my ears only.

Fine.

But then we wait. Hey,

you're the star, okay? Okay.

Record this on DAT for me.

Excuse me. Hello?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, miss, we're closed.

No, you don't understand.

I need my prescription refilled.

No allowance here for refills.

What do you mean, no allowance?

I'll need Dr. Martin's
signature.

He's away.

I-I can't get his signature.

He's away... Wait, that's it?!

You can't just leave!

I need my prescription
refilled now.

Please! Miss...

Miss, your prescription
was to last you two weeks.

You've gone through
60 pills in less than one.

Yes, I-I was in an accident

and I hurt my back.

My hands are tied.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'm late for my
daughter's birthday.

Wait, I'm in pain!

I'm... in pain!

You're kidding me!

Noah's calling you

as a character witness?

Sir. On his behalf?

I mean, I know everybody
was subpoenaed,

but this is ridiculous.

Yeah, and if you think about it,

it's the smart thing to do.

Look, Val, if I say
anything bad about Noah,

his lawyer's gonna
point out the fact

that you and I are together. So?

So, I'm your boyfriend.

Anything negative
I say about Noah

is gonna be immediately
discredited by the jury.

Oh, so what, you
think this is funny? No.

You think this is
amusing, David?

No, it frustrates the hell
out of me. Okay, Val?

Look, with Noah, I'm being asked
to help someone who hurt me,

and with Jasper,
I'm being set up

to hurt someone who helped me.

Oh, that's very poignant.

Very reflective, David.

You know what? Cool
off. No, you know what?

I'm not gonna cool off.

I want to clear my name.

Kel? Hi.

Hey, uh, is my dad around?

Yeah, yeah, you look exhausted.

Thanks.

Did you just come
from court? No,

I'm-I'm not going back.

Besides I-I have
a deadline at work.

Is there anything I can do?

No, it's just...

my back's still
completely out of whack.

I really need

to see my dad now...

Okay.

I'll go see if he's almost done.

Thanks.

Hey, Dr. Martin.

Uh...

Hi, sweetheart.

How you feeling?

Dad, uh, pretty bad, actually.

Is it your back?

Yeah, I-I did what-what
the neurologist said,

I've done what the
orthopedist said...

Honey, they
recommended bed rest.

I'm under a lot of
pressure at work right now.

Work's just gonna have to wait.

It can't wait.

I have, like, eight
million sketches

that are due tomorrow;

I have a boss that
is depending on me;

and I can't get any of it done
because my back is in spasms

and I am completely
out of pain pills.

What happened to the pills

that I prescribed
for you last week?

I was taking them
in the kitchen,

I knocked the bottle over

and I spilled them
all down the drain.

Dad, hello?

It's me.

I'm in pain and I
need help. All right.

Okay. How about if I give
you enough pills to last you

a few days, all right?

Then...

you'll take just
four per day, okay?

So, you haven't said
anything about the trial.

It's all kind of a
mess right now.

Uh, well, I-I think it's very
smart for you to stay away.

Thanks for the refill. Yeah.

Sure. Donna... Well, if...

if you're still having pain
when you're done with those,

then I want to see
you again, okay?

Go, go, go. Be brilliant.

And isn't it true

that Noah Hunter bailed
you out with a loan shark?

Yeah.

And later he bought
the building you rent

space in to keep you
from being evicted?

Yes.

So you'd been

shot and needed a rare AB
negative blood transfusion.

What exactly did Mr. Hunter do?

He donated his own
AB negative blood.

He helped save my life.

So, after tumbling

down the hillside,
Mr. Silver found himself

unable to swim out of the river?

Yes. And you

and Mr. Hunter pulled him

to safety?

Yeah.

So, you and Mr. Hunter
saved his life?

Yeah.

Wow, great stuff.

Come on, you're
just saying that.

No, really.

Has anyone seen these?

It was just something
I was fooling with

for this job interview

I've got later on.

Um, they're just
doodles, really.

Another time maybe?

Yeah, some other time.

Donna, don't mean
to put on the pressure,

but I'm putting on the pressure.

How's my sleepwear? Uh, fine.

Your, uh, your sketches
will be ready tomorrow.

♪ Don't know how
to say good-bye ♪

♪ Don't know how to
keep her satisfied... ♪

So, uh, did you talk to him?

Yeah, I did.

And...?

The blunt truth?

Jasper went nuts, threw
a tantrum, then quit.

Quit?

Yeah.

No way.

Wha... the-the band is his life.

I mean, if-if he
walks, they'll walk.

David, don't you see
how they look at you?

How everyone looks at you?

Nobody's walking anywhere.

You've got it, man.

You are going to
be a very big star.

Yeah...

I mean, Jasper, he...

he stood by me from day one.

Do you think the record
trade is about nice guys?

Huh?

It's a business.

Now, Jasper is history,

and you're gonna
have to get over that.

David, opportunities
like this come along

but once in a lifetime.

Now, you have to decide:

either you're here
to be a nice guy

or be on the cover
of Rolling Stone, man.

It's that simple.

Hey, this trial
is far from over.

And after my so-called
friends' testimony today...

Well, there's no denying it.

They got in a few shots
about your character.

More like Noah's a Boy Scout.

Look, the facts haven't changed.

You're still the
victim here, Valerie.

You were roofed
and you were raped.

And Noah?

Oh, well, poor little rich boy.

Got drunk.

Admitted to having sex.

Guilty.

Don't worry so much.

Go to hell. I'm already there.

How's it comin'?

Good.

Well, you've got the rest
of the night to go crazy.

Hope you score.

What a day.

You can bet Valerie won't
be talking to me anytime soon.

It's a moot point.

No matter who wins
this case, we all lose.

If Valerie wins,
Noah's a rapist.

Doubt he'd stick
in town after that.

And if Noah wins...?

Then Valerie's the
one catching the bus.

Ah, and you said there
wasn't a win-win situation.

For once could we
not argue about this,

please? I'm not arguing.

I would just be
happy to see her go.

Kel, we've only been
back together two weeks;

this is all we've talked about.

I'm open to a suggestion.

She's my friend.

And I think she's evil.

Agree to disagree?

Fine.

We're not ready
for this, are we?

No.

Is it just the trial?

I hope so.

But you're not sure.

Maybe you should just go.

Yeah.

♪ She's lonely ♪

♪ Oh, the road is long... ♪

Yeah, I'd, uh,

I'd like to accept this
Grammy and give props

to the whole hip-hop
nation for keepin' it real.

Word up.

Mick. Hey.

How you doin'? David
Silver, good to meet you.

Oh, huge, huge fan,
are you kidding me?

Yeah, well, my
album went, you know,

a couple times platinum;
it was no big deal.

Oh, Bob Dylan!

I know Bob Dylan,
you kidding me?

It's the same era of music,
we did the same thing.

You-you've never met Bob?

Bob, hey, come...

Um...

I, uh... I was...

You were just, uh, pretending
to be somebody else?

Do you think maybe I could play?

Sure. Mmm.

Um... listen,

about, uh, about
this whole testimony

thing... David, look...

I know it's not your fault.

I just didn't realize how
much it was gonna hurt,

okay?

So I'll see you later...

Puff Daddy?

Oh, there's somebody
here to see you, too.

Want to play games?

Let's play games.

You sold me out.

No, no...

Jasper, you quit.

My own band?

Get real.

Look, Frank told
me the whole thing...

It's not about Frank.

This is about you
recording our material.

What?! Don't even
try and deny it.

The suit played me the tape.

Jasper, he just asked me
to sing the song, all right?

I didn't know

he was recording it. You know,
for God's sakes, I made you.

If it wasn't for me,

you'd still be moppin'
Mercedes at the car wash.

This is business,

okay?

That makes it okay to
double-cross your friends?

He keeps selling me
on this whole star thing.

No, no!

You're letting him
sell you the star thing.

It's a snow job, David.

You can't be stars
unless you pay your dues.

You gotta have the
goods to back it up.

You gotta have the music first.

No music, no band.

And no band, no stars.

Look, I'll work it out, okay?

Let me work it out.

Yeah. David Silver?

Yeah. Today's your lucky day.

Q5 Records is giving
you a Porsche for a week.

All you've got to do

is sign on the dotted line,

and pick up the
car this afternoon.

You're kidding me.

Do me a favor...

When you crash
and burn, don't call.

Sir, are you gonna sign?

Hi, guys. Hi. Hi.

Listen, deadline's approaching.

So, I need you to
approve this ad copy. Okay.

And, uh, the Dog
Days spot fell out.

What about West Beverly High?

The Reunion Committee's

in for a full page ad every
other week until April.

That's good.

They still want to
run your current pics

against your yearbook photos,

but they need your
submissions, like, yesterday.

So, you left this on your desk.

It's pictures of when
you guys were kids.

Just choose the ones you
like and, um, I'll submit 'em.

Great.

Just, uh, don't say it so loud,

we don't want anyone to
know who really runs the paper.

Hmm, well, maybe someday
it'll reflect in my paycheck.

Is her contract up for renewal?

We should give
her a raise. Wha...?

Well, look who it is.

My so-called life.

Valerie,

about yesterday...

The lawyers were
really gunning for bear.

Were they?

Well, it seems to me, for
every bad thing Noah did,

you countered with
seven good things.

We could only answer questions,

we couldn't make 'em up.

You know, it's bad enough

that my own boyfriend
was called on Noah's behalf.

But I know what side he's on.

What irks me is how much

you seemed to
relish the opportunity

to make me out to be a liar.

Hey, nobody relished
anything, Valerie.

And you...

I've seen some
heartfelt monologues

before, but they're usually
sticking out in bad plays.

I was under oath,
I told the truth.

You know what's funny?

I'm the one who's
usually attacked

for betraying our friendships.

Now, who's betraying whom?

I know this must be
very difficult for you.

Yes, the, uh,
defendant is my brother.

And you are a key eyewitness

to the events of
the night in question.

In fact, with
Mr. Hunter intoxicated

and Miss Malone drugged,
you may be the only one

who knows exactly
what happened that night.

So, I remind you,

you are under oath.

I swore to tell the truth,
that's what you'll get.

Good. All right, then...

let's go back to the beginning.

That night... who was
sitting with you at the bar?

I was sitting with, uh, Val...

Er, Miss Malone, and my
brother Noah was behind the bar.

And Noah is the one who
brought Ms. Malone her drink.

Yes.

Did she drink it right away?

No.

Did you see Noah
handle the drink?

Move it? Swirl it?

Yeah, well, uh, when I
was paying attention, yes.

I'm sorry.

When you were paying attention?

Yes, I received a phone call

on my cell phone

from my fiancée in France.

So then what?

You, uh, turned away to take it?

Yes, that's correct.

So, when you answered your call,

Miss Malone had not
yet sipped her drink.

No, I-I think that you're
jumping to a conclusion.

Um, Noah

wasn't alone with
Valerie for very long

when I took that call.

Well, how long are we talking?

Well, I...

I don't know... I'd say
a few minutes maybe.

See ya later! KAY:
What? Two, three, four...?

Uh, four.

Yeah, I'd venture four.

You'd venture four minutes.

Well, gee, that's
a pretty long time.

Not really, no. No?

Well, um...

how long would you say

it would take
for this paper clip

to drop to the floor?

A second.

A second.

Well, then, don't
you think it's possible

that in those four minutes,

Noah could have
dropped a capsule

in Miss Malone's drink?

Yeah, well, I
guess it's possible.

I mean, anything's possible.

Okay.

After your phone call,

where did you next see
Miss Malone and your brother?

They were going up the stairs.

I'm sorry, I didn't
quite catch that.

They were heading up the stairs

towards Noah's office.

And was Miss Malone
drinking her drink?

Josh, was she
drinking her drink?

No.

She'd already finished it.

All right, then, let
me see if I have

all of this straight.

That night, Miss Malone
ordered only one drink.

No one was with
her but you and Noah.

Noah swirled her drink.

And then when you
answered your call

from your fiancée,

Miss Malone had
started to drink her drink.

And then when you
were on your call,

she finished her drink

and went upstairs with Noah.

Yes. Yes, that's correct.

Then, Mr. Hunter...

who else could have put
Rohypnol in her glass?

Objection! Withdrawn.

We already know the answer.

I love this.

Donna, you are pure talent.

I'm glad you like it.

Like it? Remmington

is gonna flip. Danielle,

did you see this work?

Has definite flair.

All right, now, for
you, Miss Martin,

you've been up all
night and you're punchy.

Now get outta here
and get some rest.

Thank you.

You stole my designs.

I'm sorry, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You ripped them off,

you wove them into your
work and I can prove it.

Well, if that's true,

why didn't you say anything?

Because one of us
would've gotten fired.

You know the worst part?

When you started working
here, I felt threatened.

I thought you were
better than me.

I was wrong.

It's getting kinda late.

Yeah, kinda.

Jury's deliberating.

Fate in the balance.

Can't be easy for you.

Kelly, it was never easy.

None of this.

I'm trying to apologize here.

I don't know how much
simpler I can say it.

But hearing Josh

in court today made
me see things differently.

So you think I'm
telling the truth?

Yeah.

I do.

You know, if the
case goes my way,

do you think it'll
have been worth it?

You'll be vindicated.

You will have won.

But what will I have lost?

Hey.

Noah, look...

about my testimony...
The last thing

I want to do is
make you look bad.

Don't worry about it.

What's done is
done in there, okay?

I know, man, it's just...

you're my only brother,

you know, and I
don't know how things

are going to turn out.

And I thought... Josh, listen.

However the verdict
goes, I don't care.

I'm glad you're with me, okay?

All right.

Mr. Foreman, has the
jury reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

Please read it to the court.

We the jury, in the charge

of sexual battery
against Valerie Malone,

find for the plaintiff.

Yes.

Thank you.

Congratulations.
Thank you so much.

Yes.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Hey, thank you.

Did you see them, David?

I mean, did you see
them looking at me?

I-I'm walking out of the court,

and everybody was practically...
Yeah, they were gawking.

I know. Gawking, yeah.

I mean, one minute, I'm a slut.

The next minute,
I'm Joan of Arc.

You know, definitely no
more wagging tongues.

No more smirks.

No more... Uh, skepticism?

That... skepticism.

Yes.

I mean, Noah roofed me...
I proved it... end of story.

Yep, you did it. You won.

Then why do I feel so awful?

You know, you barely
mentioned this car.

Yeah.

The car is stupid. It's gross.

Can't live with your success?

I don't know. I...

Isn't this what I've
been chasing? Success?

I mean,

look at us, Val,

we're literally on
top of the world.

I mean, you with
your court win and...

me being music's

next big whatever...

That's nothing but blue skies

and-and green lights,
you know, only...

Jasper McQuade.

I feel like I
ditched out on him.

What else were
you supposed to do?

David, you believed in me.

You gotta start
believing in yourself.

Damn it!

Yes.

Here's... one to take me down,

one to bring me up.

What?

Well, well, well...

Donna...

you know, it's considered
polite to call first

before you rob your
boyfriend's brother.

I told you I was in pain,
and you didn't give a damn!

Oh, so that makes
breaking and entering okay?

Is that a new law
or is that your own?

Hey, you're practically a
walking drugstore yourself.

I heard what you
did for Noah in court.

That's so brotherly of you.

Oh, is that right?

Josh, you parked
in a handicap zone.

What's going on here?

Burglary in progress.

Seems your little chickadee here

is strung out on painkillers.

She likes to pop
them four at a time.

Chucks in speed

for flavor. Your
brother set you up.

You shut up.

Here.

Oh, yeah.

You see here?

D-amphetamine.

Oh, yeah, sure, I gave her

a few once, you know,

to woo her off the painkillers,

to wake her up a little bit,

but now she's gone yo-yo.

First uppers, then downers.

I had no idea, man.

Is this true?

You want truth?

Read it.

Your brother's the
one that roofed Valerie.

Not a stranger... it was Josh.

This has got your
name on it, man.

Noah, I can explain that.

I was in Paris; I had insomnia.

Why?!

I never intended this.

Come on, you walked
up the stairs with Valerie.

It wasn't supposed
to turn out this way.

You could've come forward.

I got scared, Noah.

I got scared!

I mean, jail time?
Come on, you see me

in jail? I couldn't do it, man.

I would die.

I couldn't do it.

You are pathetic.

I know that, man.

I know that about
myself, but listen.

The only course
of action we have

is to forget about this.

It is over.

It is a done deal.

We pay... I'll...
I'll pay Valerie off

and we move on.

No.

This is about the family, man.

This is about flesh and blood.

You wouldn't turn in your own

flesh and blood,
would you, Noah?

Would you?

Uh, Valerie, I see
you got your mail.

Yeah, it's been stacking
up ever since the trial began.

At the Beat, we've been ignoring

a pile of bills twice that high.

Hmm.

Well, I guess my
lawsuit's taken its toll.

Is that your Porsche outside?

No, it's David's.

If he makes rock star by Monday,

he can keep it another week.

Hey, you know what, I
got these the other day.

Brandon's been holding on

to some old pictures of us.

Oh, my gosh.

I must have been
like five years old.

Six, actually.

You remember Mrs. Swenson's

first grade class in Minnesota?

I don't know whether
to laugh or cry.

Well, earlier today, I
would have agreed with that.

This is a completely
different girl.

What do you mean, my nose?

No, the eyes.

I looked a little closer,

and I saw something I
completely forgot about.

Something decent.

Welcome back, Val.

Thanks.

Welcome home. Thanks, babe.

Noah.

Can I come in?

No, you can't.

Look, if this is
about the money,

I could really care less.

I hate you for
what you did to me.

Maybe you should just go, man.

No, wait.

Josh roofed your
drink; it wasn't me.

Donna found this Rohypnol

in Josh's briefcase.

Now, if you don't believe me,

just call her.

I don't forgive you.

Look, I'm sorry you were hurt.

Now, if you file charges

with the DA against my brother,

I'll support you any way I can.

You all right?

Um...

Steve, I-I'm supposed
to go pick up David.

Do you mind taking me?

I really don't
feel like driving.

Yeah, I'll take you. Thanks.

See you, guys.

"And the truth
shall set you free."

Yeah... well, I think

that Noah and Donna are
going to need some time.

I don't really feel
like going home.

Can I stay?

Mmm... sure.

Hello?

Donna, it's me.

You there?

Hello?

Donna!

I have an emergency here.

I need an ambulance.

Drug overdose.

I don't... I don't know.

I think they were painkillers.

I don't know.

Her name is Martin.

Donna Martin.

Yeah... yeah.
