Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 29 - Ricochet - full transcript

Please, anything but

a love story.

Steve, Kel's getting
the "Movie" section.

We'll see what's playing.

Hey, boys.

Val, you want to go see a movie?

Uh, no, actually... I'm
gonna go to David's house.

I think we're
housebound tonight.

But thanks, I appreciate it.

Ooh, domestic bliss.

Our Valerie. Who'd have thought?



David is a brave boy.

You guys run a paper, and
you didn't have one in the house.

We're a weekly.

The Tribune has a
daily movie section.

And breaking stories.

But you beat them with this
one. Councilman Macknamee.

You met with him, didn't you?

Let me see that.

He cheated on
his wife with that?

What's this guy thinking?

Any insight?

None to speak of.
Well, Bran did have a tip,

but he opted not
to run the story.

Why?



Journalistic integrity.

Her firm won city contracts.

Don't you think
maybe their affair

had something to do with that?

Her firm had been doing
contract city work for years.

It was all aboveboard.

Except Macknamee
was cheating on his wife.

You do think that's
wrong, don't you?

We've covered this ad
nauseam at this point and time,

don't you think, Kel?

The Tribune devoted,
what, ten column inches?

How many words is that?

Steve?

750,

more or less.

By comparison, I was brief.

Hello?

Hi, I'm trying to reach
Valerie Malone, please.

Oh, this is Valerie.

Hi, Valerie, I'm Tom
Stahl with the Red Cross.

Your name was on a national
donor's list for bone marrow.

A list for what?

Your bone marrow was typed
in 1992 at Buffalo General.

Do I have the right
Valerie Malone?

Oh, right, yeah, a
neighbor of ours was sick.

Um, she had some type
of cancer or something.

Leukemia?

Yeah, my whole family got
tested, but nobody matched.

Well, you are a match

for a patient who
does need a donation

at this time.

Mm, I-I don't know.

Look, why don't we
set up an appointment?

You come in, meet with
a counselor who'll tell you

all about the procedure.

Listen, I was a kid
when I got typed.

I didn't even know
what I was doing.

Valerie, what happened to
your neighbor who was sick?

She, uh, she died.

Yeah, I guess I could come
down and talk to the counselor.

That's a gun. Ow!

Don't turn around,
and you might live.

I want you to
punch in your limit

and pray it's high. Okay.

Hurry up!

Look, I swear to
God, I will blow a hole

the size of your
head through your gut.

Now punch in your code.

I can't think, okay? Come on!

Okay, okay, all
right, hit a thousand.

I can't, it's too
high. There's a limit!

Well, then 800 then! Six...
whatever! Just hurry up!

Okay, here, here, here.

All right, give me
your wallet, your wallet.

Fine.

Now I want you to count to 50.

I might be gone in
three, but if I'm not,

and you turn
around, I'll kill you.

One, two, three, four,

I don't hear you!

Five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten...

♪ ♪

You know, those ATMs
have monitors, don't they?

The cops said it was smashed.

The guy probably shot it
out before you got there.

Did you get a look at him?

No.

His height, tattoos, anything?

Nothing. The guy stuck
the gun right in his ribs.

You should see his bruise.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Uh, I got to get to the studio.

Hey, this one's on me.

David, was your new
address in your wallet?

Yeah.

Well, you should probably
change your locks. Yeah.

Maybe you should
get an alarm system.

You need a gun.

No.

Thanks. BRANDON:
A gun? What, do you

have a gun? Yeah,
I've got one on the boat

and I've got one under
the register at the bar.

What? Since when?

Since always.

It's no big deal.

It's probably not a bad
idea, living in the marina.

Anybody could get
in there. I don't know.

It just doesn't seem like you.

Ah, you know what? I gotta get

to the paper. We're
hiring an assistant.

I struck Steve with
the first interview.

Dave, if you need anything,
give me a call, will you?

Yeah, did I mention I'm fine?

Uh, ten times. Glad to hear it.

I've got a meeting
with a source tonight,

so I won't be home until late.

Again? Following a
story you won't print?

Remind me how
much you worship me

and you can't bear
a minute without me.

Something exactly like that.

I'll see you tomorrow. Okay.

So, it's just a small incision

they make in your back,

and they'll withdraw the marrow,

which is essentially blood,

out of the core of the bone.

I know I'll be under anesthesia,

but afterwards,
is it gonna hurt?

There'll be some
discomfort for a few weeks,

but you won't be immobilized,

and you should be
out of the hospital

the same day.

So, for one day of my life,
I'll be saving somebody else's.

Leukemia's a very
serious disease.

And I can't promise you
the patient will survive

even with your donation,

but it is their best chance.

Did anybody else
match this patient's type?

No, not yet.

I'd really like
to think about it.

But there's not a lot
of time for indecision.

I understand.

Here's a pamphlet
that explains everything.

If you are interested,

we'll have one more
counseling session together,

and then, after that, we'll
need your final decision.

Okay.

Hey. Hey.

How'd it go?

Oh, it-it was intense.

What's this?

Uh, it's a pamphlet
on the procedure.

Hmm, "Now that
you're a perfect match..."

Excuse me. That pamphlet...

Yeah?

I'm sorry, it's just...

Well, are you
donating bone marrow?

Um, I'm not sure. Why?

Well, my father's here.

He's being treated for
complications of leukemia,

and he's the only
one on the ward with it.

Well, a nurse told me that
we may have found a match.

Judy, he's asking for you.

Oh, this is my
brother Mark. I'm Judy.

I'm... David. This is Valerie.

She's a match
for Dad. Valerie...?

Malone.

Are you sure about this?

How many other
donors do you see here?

Mark, isn't this amazing?

How does this work?

Did they fly you in or what?

No, actually, I live here.

Are you a student?

No, I run a club

in Beverly Hills...
The After Dark.

We should leave
these people alone.

Oh, I didn't mean to push.

No, I wish all the
best for your Dad.

Dr. Schreiber, Pediatric ICU.

Dr. Cissy Schreiber
to Pediatric ICU.

Did you see how happy she was?

Yep. She thinks
you're gonna do it.

I am.

Can you type?

No, but I've talked
on the phone.

Really? Professionally?

I'm trying to get out

of that 900 business.

Thank you for coming.
Very nice to meet you.

We'll be in touch.

Did the ad specify
assistant or spokesmodel?

Don't worry, we'll
find somebody.

You guys start this
one without me, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Beverly Beat. Uh-huh.

Janet, think quick.

Oh!

Hi, I'm, uh, Sarah Edmunds.

I think I'm early.

Oh, well, promptness is

always rewarded. I'm
Janet Sosna and this is...

What do you think
of my editorial?

Steve?

I can't...

Uh, just a minute.

Tomorrow maybe?
Yeah, yeah. No, no,

I already got a lead on that.

Yeah, right, thanks
for calling. Bye.

Do you want to
take this interview?

No, I want to go home.

Come on. You're
gonna abandon me?

Yeah, I'm gonna leave early.

I was here every
night last week late.

My source bailed
on me. I gotta go.

I'll see you later.

Great.

See ya, Janet. Good
luck, ladies. Bye.

Hi, I'm Steve Sanders.
I'm the publisher.

Uh, nice work with the ball.

I'm Sarah Edmunds.

Sarah's the office manager
at Empire magazine.

She's incredibly qualified

for the assistant position.

Overqualified even.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

Modesty... it's a virtue.

So, um,

Steve, is there anything

that you want to ask Sarah?

No, um, we'll call
you. I'll let you know.

All right, thank you. Bye.

She's not gonna work out.

Are you kidding? She's perfect.

I can't work with her.

What's going on?!

I was gonna tell you about it.

Gwynneth Adair, my girlfriend.

Donna... he can't
shut up about you.

I've known Noah a long time.

She was the girl next door.

We met at the Albright party in,

what, second grade?

Third, you loser!

I lost track of him

when he went to Hawaii.
Do you live in L.A.?

San Francisco.

I do marketing for
a software company.

I was on the plane
to L.A. for business

when I nearly flipped
past the article!

All right, go easy with

the article, okay?

So how was the flight?

You still hyperventilating?

Mm, afraid of flying?

Heights... this one's
a real panic monster.

I chicken out on
one Ferris wheel ride,

and my reputation's ruined.

But I swore I'd do it
by the time I was 21.

And you said you were
gonna do it with me.

Your promise is
two years overdue.

You're staying a few
days, right? Mm-hmm.

We'll, uh, try to
squeeze you in one night.

Well, when's a
good night for you?

Oh, no, I couldn't intrude.

But I am a strong believer
in keeping promises.

Me, too.

Beverly Beat.

Hey, Janet, is Brandon there?

Oh, hi.

Um, no.

His source bailed,
so he split early.

Well, that's weird.

I just tried him at home.

Well, I'm-I'm gonna head out.

Um, do you want me
to leave him a message?

No, no.

I'd rather you didn't.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hi. I didn't know you're here.

Yeah. Noah has a
friend in from out of town

that's staying on his boat.

Some girl that he grew up with.

He's known her since
she was seven or eight.

She's like a kid sister to him.

How old is she now?

She's 23.

But I like her, and I trust him.

Sorry. You know
what? Just ignore me.

I... I just called Brandon,
and he wasn't there.

So?

So he said that he was
gonna be working late,

and Janet said that
he left hours ago.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't either.

If he hadn't cheated on me.

Hi. Uh, we met today.

Yeah, at the hospital, right?

Uh, Mark.

It's supposed to be anonymous,
you know, the donation.

Look, I'm really glad we met.

I know it's only one day,

but it's a lot for me to
go through for a stranger.

I'm not here to push you.

I know.

Meeting you and
your sister today,

I... I saw the people
I'd be helping.

God, I-I'd really like
to meet your dad.

I was only there
to support Judy.

He molested my sisters,

repeatedly, when we were kids.

Our oldest sister
Martha, she cut all ties.

Judy claims she's past
it and he's changed...

Um, I really

can't hear this.

He stopped when he
couldn't overpower her.

He hasn't changed.

He's a predator;
that's his nature.

That's the life
you'll be saving.

I'd let him die.

Hey, guys.

Who's Brandon with?

Oh, he's doing an interview.

Did you, uh, bring your resume?

Here it is.

Ah.

Thanks, thanks.
We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

Hey. Hey.

How you doing? Good.

Steve, why did she give
me a modeling head shot?

Yeah, exactly where are
you finding these girls?

We had two responses
to the classified ad.

So I called a buddy of mine
who owns a modeling agency.

Steve, we need someone who can

act like an assistant,
not pose as one.

Okay.

Next time I'll call
a talent agency.

Steve,

it's not okay for
you to lure women

with job prospects. Yeah.

How else am I supposed
to meet women?

Wait a minute,
you made a promise

not to date anyone
else you work with.

Remember that, big guy?

Okay, if I find someone
I like, I won't hire them.

Yes.

Was he dropped
on his head as a kid?

I think so. Repeatedly.

How'd your meeting
go last night?

Oh, it got canceled.

He works at a water
treatment facility.

I'm not even sure
there's a story there.

Well, you should've called.

Yeah, I was tired
when I got home.

I ran some errands,
went to the gym,

went to see David.

Oh, yeah? How is he?

He's, uh, holding up.

Beverly Beat.

Uh, Brandon, it's someone from

the Department of
Water and Power.

Go, go. I have to make a call.

All right.

Uh-huh.

Hey, what's going on, bud?

Yuh-huh.

Hello.

David, hey, it's Kelly.

I was just calling to...

See how I'm doing.

I'm fine.

Told Brandon the same thing
last night when he stopped by.

He did?

Oh, good.

Try not to sound so relieved.

I wish I could.

I was wondering
about the recipient.

The donation's anonymous.

Did you make it over to the
lab for the blood work today?

They were all backed up.

Oh, I can

tell them you're in a rush.

Well, I'll do it later,

sometime this week. I
wouldn't wait too long.

Um, the patient,
uh, how sick is he?

I really can't tell you
anything more than this.

He needs your help.

"He." So it is a guy.

This is an "intent
to donate" form.

Now, once you sign
this, you're legally bound

to the procedure.

Sounds serious.

Once you commit,
the patient undergoes

extensive chemotherapy
to prepare for the transfer.

What they do is
they essentially kill off

all of his own marrow.

Without your transfusion,
he or she will die.

You know, if
you're worried about

the risks of the procedure,
we could go over them again.

No.

I know the risks.

All of them.

It's the BMW of
stopping machines.

It's a small bullet, but
it makes a big hole.

In high school, a friend of
mine put a gun to his chest

and made a mess
of his dad's study,

so you can save
the efficiency pitch.

I'll take it.

What's all this?

If everything clears, you'll
have the gun in 11 days.

11 days?

I can't sleep.

What am I supposed
to do until then?

That's the law.

Now, we'd like you to wait
about ten or 15 minutes

after giving blood, okay?

Okay, thank you.

Dr. Rachel Jeneau,

please report to Pathology.

Excuse me. Miss Malone?

You got a blood test.

Uh, are you going to do it?

Look, I-I really
can't talk right now.

Mark told me that he
came by to see you.

I know that he told you.

I wasn't a match, but if
I was, I would help him.

Why?

He hurt you.

Mommy!

Grandpa says

he's tired!

Henry's six,

Ellen's eight.

That's my father.

It's taken a long time

and a lot of therapy,
but I realized

that... I don't
want to lose him.

And your father?

Has he gone
through therapy, too?

Look, your daughter
is eight years old.

I was 11 when my
father molested me.

"No, I don't want
to read Tolstoy.

I'm sorry."

Okay, here we go.

Here's my interview notes.

We've got three resumes,
seven head shots.

Yes. Way to go, Steve.

Let's just vote, you
guys. Sarah Edmunds.

Who's your second choice?

Sarah Edmunds... She's
also my first and third.

What-what's your
problem with her?

Oh, no.

You liked her.

I didn't even talk to her.

Because you were tongue-tied.

Because you wanted
to go out with her.

Mm-hmm. You're good.

He's not exactly complex.

Copy that.

Hire her, okay?

Well, if we don't, it's
because you like her,

and that would
be discriminatory.

But if we do,

you will find some way
to entice her, alienate her

and generally ruin the
workplace environment for us all.

Yeah, Steve, it's time for
you to take a vow, okay?

Be a professional, keep your
pants on and your trap shut.

Can you handle that?

I'll try.

And one for you.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

And one for you.

So, who's running the
famous After Dark tonight?

My manager Valerie.

Hmm.

Also his ex-girlfriend.

Ooh.

So have you guys ever...?

Oh, me and Noah?

Mm. No, no way.

Not this one. She's
a real heartbreaker.

Really?

That true?

I realize I don't love someone,
I do the honorable thing.

Yeah, she dumps them.

All of them.

Wait, so you've
never been in love?

Ooh.

Oh, sorry.

Maybe once or twice.

I'm exhausted.

I had a fun time tonight.

Thanks, guys.

Don't forget about
tomorrow night.

Ferris wheel.

I remember everything.

Night.

Night.

Mm... I hope you're staying.

You have company.

You're staying.

Yeah, but if we're both here,

she might feel
like she's intruding.

Gwynneth's a
good friend of mine.

She's happy for me. Mm-hmm.

Mm!

Did you hire an assistant?

Sarah.

Janet's gonna call
her in the morning.

It was after 7:00 before
we decided on her.

You've been working
late this week.

Mm-hmm.

What are you doing?

I don't trust you.

I don't know how else to say it.

I was, um...

looking at a receipt
in your pocket.

What exactly were
you expecting to find?

Proof that you were
at a restaurant tonight

and not at work.

Anything

so that I'm not crazy
for doubting you.

I gotta tell ya, I'm
really getting tired of this.

So am I, Brandon.

Do you think I like
feeling like this?

Every time I call you
and you're not there,

every time the phone rings

and it's a hang up,
every time I see you

talking to a woman, I think,

"Is that her? Is that
the next Emma?"

If you want to end
this, Kelly, do it.

Don't chip away at it
till there's nothing left.

Brandon, I want you.

But I don't want to
feel like this anymore.

There is no one else.

I want to believe you.

I'll never leave you.

Marry me.

Yes.

You're getting married?

Oh, my God!

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
when did this happen?

Tell me what he said, what'd
you say? Tell me everything.

Of course she said yes.

You guys are perfect together.

We've been through a
lot. You're getting married.

Last night we were
practically breaking up.

Well, finally, some
interesting news.

Well, it all just came out...

The jealousy, the insecurity.

At first he was really
frustrated but then he was

so reassuring and sweet.

And then?

And then he said...

Marry me.

Well, then what?

I mean, what do you say
once you become engaged?

Well, there wasn't
much talk after that.

Wait, she said yes
or was it more like,

"Yes, yes!"

Yes! Of course I will be
the best maid of honor

you will ever have.

The only, I hope.

Okay, let's recap.

You've traded in your
entire future to have sex

instead of an argument
you couldn't win.

Do you mind?

Take your time.

Could you back up, please?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Back the hell away from me!

All right, geez.

Sarah, hi.

Let me go, I'll call you back.

Hi. Um...

I-I thought about your offer,

and, uh, I can't take the job.

I just wanted to

tell you in person.

Is there anything we can
do to change your mind?

Uh, no, but, um...

thank you.

She hates me.

I don't know what I did.

There's no line.

I made a reservation.

Come on, I'll hold your hand.

Come on.

Here we are.

Don't forget, stop at the top.

You okay?

Uh-huh.

So, do you see
much of your family?

Nope.

Well, I'm in San Francisco now.

It's safe to call or visit.

Unless you wanted
to leave me behind too.

No, I'm glad to see you.

So, what about
the other promise?

At 21, regardless...?

No, your cousin's
wedding, right?

We saw them kissing.

You were disgusted by it.

You wanted to try it.

Well, yeah, it seemed to
hold a lot of merit back then.

It worked for your cousin.

And you refused me.

But we swore.

No matter where we
were, or who we were with,

when I turned 21, we'd kiss.

That was a kid's prom... Check
it out, see if we were destined.

That was a kid's promise, okay?

Oh, come on, like one
little kiss is gonna kill you?

No, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

You know I'm with Donna, right?

I know.

All right.

Hi.

Hi! What are you doing?

Oh, the washer is
broken at my apartment,

so I'm just doing
a little laundry.

Is that okay? Yeah, absolutely.

You know, I've got some upstairs

and since we're getting
married, you know...

That sounds weird, doesn't it?

I can't believe you got
the nerve to ask me.

I wasn't even thinking.

You didn't think it through?

Oh, I've thought about it.

You know I have.

I've proposed to you before.

You just never said yes.

So, you thought you were
fairly safe that I'd say no?

Oh, believe me, I've
never felt less safe.

But I want this.

Forever?

Because that's what
we're talking about.

Yeah.

Do you have a bag or something
that I can put this stuff in?

My car's a mess.

You're taking it home?

Yeah, I think we should just

leave things the
way they are now.

My stuff at my place...

You at your place.

For now, until we get married.

We have the rest
of our lives, right?

Yeah, yeah.

It's gonna be great.

Hey, you, I didn't
know you were here.

Hey.

Want a drink?

No, thanks, I was just

waiting for Noah.

So... Oh, that's
really something.

Yeah.

So, uh, where's,
where's Valerie?

Hmm.

I don't know.

Wanna join us?

No, no, thanks.

Oh, okay.

Hey, you're not, uh,
driving or anything?

No, I, uh...

I'll call a cab.

Oh, okay, good.

Uh, give us a minute, all right?

Hey. Hey.

I'm going to grab a drink.

Can I get you anything?

Oh, no, thanks.

But you know what,
there's a friend of mine

sitting right there at the
bar, his name's David.

Oh, okay, I'll say hello.

Cool.

So, did you keep your promise?

I gotta tell you something
about me and Gwynneth.

Uh, um, hey, get Gwynneth
anything she wants.

Merlot, thanks.
Uh, anybody else?

You guys want
something to drink?

It's on me.

I went to the
ATM like a big boy.

How many of those have you had?

Look, we were kids. We
were best friends, you know?

I'm starting to think maybe,
to her, it meant more.

Yeah?

Go on, don't drag this out.

We were on the Ferris wheel
and she wanted to kiss me.

So, you kissed her?

You said you
wanted honesty, right?

Donna...

You're not speaking to me?

I love Kelly and I would
do anything for her.

Know that before
you rip into her.

Brandon, I try to be a
good person, I really do.

I just, sometimes it
goes wrong for me.

It's not that hard.

You know that patient that
needs a bone marrow transplant?

He's a child molester.

How do you know?

His kids told me.

I mean, he molested
both of his daughters.

I saw his grandkids.

I looked at his, his eight
year old grandchild and...

and I thought...

If you don't do this,

you'll be taking a man's life.

I believe I'll be saving one.

Here we go again.

Ah... ha!

Don't worry, I'm not gonna
forget my code this time.

See that?

Steady as an oak.

I'm off to the ATM!

He took a gun
from under the bar.

David!

What?

Noah, I'm good
for the tab, geez.

Come on, man.

Dude, where the hell's the ATM?

What are you doing?

None of this looks familiar.

Dude, get...

Give me, I'm not even
done counting to 50 yet.

Stay back, okay?

Wait a second, I don't need to.

Then again,

I didn't need to give
that guy all my money.

I didn't have to start
shaking so bad I couldn't,

I couldn't remember
four simple numbers.

Do you know what an idiot

that made me feel like?

Give me the gun.

What's wrong with you?

You're the one that told me
to get a gun in the first place.

Yeah, I know I did, just
give me the gun, all right?

What the hell, are you

afraid of it or something?

See that?!

Oh, man, I really gotta
get me one of these.

It's okay, okay, okay.

Easy, easy, easy, easy...

Dude, I didn't shoot at her.

Well, you got her, all right?

Somebody help her!

Come on, she's bleeding!

Set her down right here.
Hey, what happened?

Don't leave me.
I won't leave you.

A bullet ricocheted off
and it hit her in the arm.

Hey, hey, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. Miss, miss...

It's okay, man. It's okay, David.
Miss, miss, can you understand me?

It's all right. My arm hurts.

Does it hurt anywhere else? No.

I'm cold.

Doctor! Doctor, we've got
a GSW in the left extremity.

I'm not going to leave you.

I'm not going to leave you.

All right; it's all right.

Where are you taking her?

The doctor's going
to examine her.

But from what I saw,
she's going to be fine.

All right?

We'll need a safety
officer right away.

What do you mean,
safety officer? I'm holding.

Hospital police.

You did shoot someone.

Hi. Um, thanks for
seeing me so late.

This is my friend Brandon Walsh.

How you doing?

Worried sick ever
since you called.

Look, um, I'm not going
to donate my bone marrow.

I'm really sorry
about your father,

but I had to make a
choice that I could live with.

That you could live with.

You're killing him.

You're killing my father.

Murderer!

Come on, let's go.

Oh, bride?

Hey. Hey.

What is this?

A wedding planner.

Aw, thank you.

I see that you
started the "to do" list.

First thing, you
have to pick a date.

I can't.

Not until Brandon
gets used to the idea.

This was his idea.

I know.

I was upset and...

he swore that he loved me,
and when I was still crying,

he asked me to marry him.

What were you crying about?

Us.

Me.

Lately, I've been really
jealous and suspicious.

And just angry at him.

Well, last night, Noah
told me something

that he knew would hurt me
and it did and I freaked out,

and when I woke up this morning,

I just realized
that I trust him.

Do you trust Brandon?

There was a time when
I would have said yes.

Well, if you can't say yes now,

you should say
no to the proposal.

All right, one more jewelry
store and that's it, I swear.

What are we doing even
looking for engagement rings?

I don't know,
'cause I'm engaged?

But you have a ring... you got
one for Kelly a few years ago.

I'm not giving her that
ring again; it's bad luck.

What are you talking about?

Steve that ring's
been back and forth

more times than a tennis ball.

Every time we got
together, broke up...

And gotten back together.

That's not baggage, Bran.

That's an achievement.

I'm not so sure.

The ring shouldn't matter.

It's the point of the thing.

The point is you gotta make
your own luck, Brandon.

You find each other

and then you gotta find
a way to make it work.

But there were times when
we couldn't make it work.

When you're married,

you don't have the luxury
of breaking up for a year,

dating other people
and then deciding

you made a huge mistake.

Well, if you're having
doubts, you better slow down.

All we did was get engaged.

Which means she's
planning a wedding.

It's like Godzilla at
the bottom of the sea,

amassing size.

If you're gonna stop it,

you've got to do it now.

Thank you, Doctor Ruth.

I'm really sorry I
walked out on you.

It's just... when you said
you kissed another woman,

I guess I couldn't deal.

Look, if it didn't bother
you, then I'd worry.

So, what did the doctors
say about Gwynneth?

Well, the bullet grazed her arm,

but the biggest risk
right now is infection.

Right.

What's going to happen to David?

The cops interviewed him
and released him last night.

They think the DA is probably

going to hit him with
a misdemeanor...

Discharging a firearm.

I'm getting rid of the
guns, it's that simple.

Good, I'm glad.

I think she's up.

Gwynneth's here?

Yeah.

Hi.

Thanks for the shirt.

I had to change in
the middle of the night.

It was bleeding.

The bandages held up, huh?

Gwynneth, I feel really bad
that this happened to you.

Oh, thanks.

I called your work and let them
know you'd be back mid-week.

You're staying here?

Noah insisted.

If you mind I... I do.

The boat,

it's damp and cold and it rocks

and you are in pain.

It's not that bad, really.

Well, Kelly and I

have an extra bedroom
in our apartment.

And one of us are
always around at night,

especially since he's
always working at the club.

Oh, that's really sweet of
you, but it's not necessary.

No, no, no, no.

I insist, okay? Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Mud... this tastes like mud.

Exactly what qualifications did
our new young assistant meet?

Mine.

You could be more
welcoming, too.

Sarah, hi.

Hi.

Did you reconsider our offer?

Uh, not exactly.

See, I can't work with you.

It'd be awful.

No need to drive the point home.

No, I mean,

I'd be nervous.

I couldn't think,

I wouldn't do well, and, uh,

you'd fire me.

No... never.

Well, you'd have to.

But it'd be okay.

Uh, maybe then we could go out.

I'm a little confused.

Do you want the job or
do you not want the job?

Well, it's just that, um...

See, I don't date
people I work with.

Or for.

But, uh, I'd like
to go out with you.

If you're free.

I mean, it doesn't
have to be a date.

But I'd like it to be.

Um, God, maybe I
should've just taken the job.

It's filled.

Mitch!

Congratulations! Welcome aboard.

You're home. I, um...

I left messages.

You heard what
happened last night?

Yeah.

Why didn't you call me?

I would have come
down to the police station.

The hospital called.
They were looking for you.

Yeah, I gave them this number.

They found a match for that guy.

How do you feel
about that? I don't know.

You want to think
about it? I don't want to.

Well, I really wish
you would have done it.

He molested both of
his daughters, David.

Look, Val, I don't know what it
was like for you with your dad...

This has nothing
to do with my father.

I know... what it's like
to feel powerless, okay?

You think you could have
done something, but you couldn't.

You don't know anything.

He had all the power.
You were a kid, okay?

And you wanted to kick
and you wanted to scream...

Stop, just stop,
just stop, okay?

But you couldn't, Val. Just
stop it, David just stop it!

Because you were terrified.

And you think you're fine.

I'm fine. I am fine.
You're not fine.

It's not fine! I'm fine!

It's wearing you down.
Val, it's wearing us down.

Those two situations
are completely different.

They're different
except for the fact

that two people could have died

because we didn't want to
deal with what happened to us.

You got to talk to someone.

I did.

I did and now you're
turning it against me.

Val, a professional.

Someone who can help you.

I can't.

How dare you judge me.

I mean, I remember
you being about this far

from the edge of the cliff.

Well, you were standing
right up there with me.

And you know what?
You were so calm,

I thought you were fearless.

But now I realize you
were comfortable up there,

and I'm not.

You go too far, Val.
You just... You go too far.

There's a jeweler on
Third Street that I like.

I was there looking
for an engagement ring.

I already have a ring.

Actually, right down there
is where you asked me

to marry you the first time.

I don't want you
to wear that ring.

Why?

Well, I gave you that ring
to stop you from going away.

That's very different than
wanting to move forward.

Are you sure that's
what you want?

Or are you just trying to
put the affair behind us?

I don't know if we can.

I don't know how
anything's going to be.

I don't even know
what kind of ring it is

that you want.

But I do know that I
want you in my life.

Always.

Will you marry me?

Yes, I'll marry you.
