Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 8, Episode 6 - The Right Thing - full transcript

While investigating Donna's story about working conditions at a sweatshop, Brandon discovers that Steve's father is involved, which brings up tension between Brandon and Steve over publishing the story. The events also throw off S...

Brandon.

You okay?

Yeah.

You're having that
dream again, weren't you?

Yeah.

Brandon, you got to
give yourself a break.

It wasn't your fault.

Well, you know
that, and I know that.

But my subconscious is having
a little harder time accepting it.

There's nothing
you could have done.

One of those bullets
probably had your name on it.



I wish those guys would
have had better aim.

Don't say things like that.

Get this through
your thick male ego.

You are not the
bad guy. They are.

Thank God I'm in
love with a woman

with a degree in psychology.

Child psychology.

Even better.

Lineup's the day after tomorrow.

We could postpone,
if you're not ready.

No. I want to get it over with.

You sure?

Yeah.

If I don't, it's
going to kill me.



It'll kill us.

It'll be okay, baby.

It's going to be okay.

Mr. Parish, thanks
for seeing me again.

I apologize for
not calling first.

It's always a pleasure
seeing you, Donna.

Your new designs
are sensational.

You'll be hearing from
us real soon. Great.

You know the way
out, don't you? Yes, I do.

Thanks again. Thank you.

Bye. Bye.

Hi. Hey. I thought
we could talk again.

I know you were in
a hurry the other day.

I have to work now.

No. Listen. Nothing is
going to change around here

until someone talks about
the abuses, about the problems.

No, no. No problems.
Everything is good.

I have to work now.

Eluvia, vamonos. ¿Estas loca?

Vamonos. I know you
probably can't talk here.

So, maybe you could give
me a call or you could come by.

Señorita, necessito
pasar, por favor.

Tengo que trabajar.

I don't speak Spanish. Here.

Lost?

Yes.

I am.

I have got two words for you.

Magic Mountain.

They've got a
roller coaster there

that goes up like ten stories.

And then it drops you
straight back down.

But you hang weightless
for, like, six seconds.

It's the coolest thing.
What do you say?

I have two words
for you... no way.

Oh, come on. Zach will love it.

Zach will miss school.

Miss school? The
kid's in first grade.

What's he going to
miss, Advanced Spitwad?

I could teach him that.

I have no doubt.

Well, isn't there a
height requirement

or something, anyway?

I'm going to put
lifts in his shoes.

And I thought you
weren't a good influence.

That's a yes, isn't it?

That's an "I'll think about it."

How are you going
to take time off work?

I'm the publisher.

I'll just give myself a day off.

Ah.

Why don't you guys grab a booth?

Hey, what's up, guys?

Hi. Hey, bud.

Uh, could you take special care

of my friends
over there, please?

I live to serve. Thank you.

If it isn't Das Band.

From what Donna tells me,
those guys should be wearing

jack boots and brown shirts.

I can't believe Donna's
telling people they're bigots.

She said she heard one of them
saying something anti-Semitic.

Steve, I've been
working with them

for a week straight, all right?

We just pulled an all-nighter
working on their demo tape.

If they were jerks,
I'd know about it.

Like I said, they look like
righteous dudes to me.

See you.

Hey, uh, you wouldn't
happen to have

an extra 50 on you, would you?

I left my wallet at home.

What do I look like, an ATM?

I'm as tapped as you are.

What'd ya come up with?

Nothing. Her name's Eluvia.

Not much to go on.

Good news is, I did get

a line on the owner
of the building.

Hmm.

Sandtrap Properties.

What about the owner
of Soho Mix & Match?

Nothing there.

Paper trail of
holding companies.

I did get a listing

of the fire code and
sanitation violations, though.

The place is a real tenement.
If you could give me a hand,

we may be able to get
a line on the real owner.

Yeah, I'll just have Valerie
cover my afternoon appointment.

Ooh.

Mmm, hello.

Hungry?

Cooper?

You recognized my voice.

That's a good sign.

Well, it's good business,

makes the customer
feel important.

Oh, so that's all I am now?

A customer?

Well, then if you want to
make me feel really important,

have breakfast with me.

You know, I'm a very busy woman.

I can't just drop
everything and run off.

Sure, you can.

I could pick you up
there in a heartbeat.

Look, it's really
tempting, but...

Yeah, I know, you got
someone coming over.

No, I don't.

What are you, psychic?

Hi.

Uh, hi.

Young, dark, handsome?

He's not your boyfriend, is he?

No, he's, um...

Come on in.

Oh, sure, I'd love
to see your place.

No, stay right there.

Trouble making
your mind up, huh?

No.

Come in.

Hope you don't mind,

Brandon said I could
use the washer and dryer.

Oh, okay, um,

it's in the kitchen,
first door on the right.

Uh, what's the
limo doing out front?

Oh, it's just a client of mine.

Nice job,

getting chauffeured
around town all day in a limo.

Look, I know we've
been avoiding each other,

but while the machine's
eating my laundry

how about breakfast?

Breakfast? Uh, I can't.

Why not?

Oh, no, not you.

Who?

You know, this is
really not a good time.

I can wait.

Uh, deal with Mr. Duffel Bag.

I gotta make a call to London.

Okay, I-I'll call you back.

So what's the, uh,
sudden urge to do laundry?

Well, it's kind of hard
to do it out at sea.

I took the offer.

To skipper that
72-footer back to Hawaii.

Oh, I thought you were
just thinking about it.

So when?

Couple of days. I got
nothing to hold me back.

Yeah?

London's busy.

I'm still free for breakfast.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Listen, I gotta go.

Um, if I don't this
client's gonna be history.

So... but we
really need to talk.

Slow Dance.

That's the name of the boat.

Slip 33.

Okay, I'll find you.

Not after 6:00, you won't.

We'll be fueling up.

Hey, stranger.

Kelly.

Why are you dressed like that?

How should I be dressed?

For a day on a boat.

Sailing?

I'll be right back.

Sorry, it's business.

Hey, what's up?

Well, I'm still on
this sweatshop thing.

Can you cover for me
with Mrs. Van Dyke?

Donna, I'm not the
personal schlepper... you are.

Look, I already
picked out everything.

All you have to do is pick
up the clothes at my place,

take them to her, she'll try
'em on... like some, hate most.

It's a whole performance type
of thing. Just take good notes

and we'll go over
them later, is that okay?

Okay.

I'll give it a try.

Great. You're a life saver, Val.

Oh, well.

We can still have
a quick breakfast.

Just not where I'd planned.

Where was that?

San Francisco.

Yeah, tell Brandon
that I got his messages.

Yes, Terri, all four.

Yeah, I'm at the
marina with Noah.

He has the number.

Okay, bye.

Four calls.

It's cute.

The knot's called
a bowline. Hmm?

It's this end, yeah.

Rabbit up through the hole.

Wow.

Yeah, he's been, uh,
keeping pretty close tabs.

Well, I would, too.

I just wish he wouldn't
worry so much, you know?

He'll lighten up
when the case is over

and these guys who
shot you are put away.

Yeah.

You still worried about the
police lineup tomorrow, huh?

I told Detective Woods
that I don't remember

anything about the shooting,

but he said that
maybe if I see the guy

it'll help jog my memory.

Want me to go with you guys?

Oh, no.

You've already
done so much for us.

I haven't done anything.

My point exactly.

When I lost my
memory about Brandon,

you could've taken advantage.

But you didn't.

It's my proudest achievement.

Believe me.

Well, looks like there's
pretty good money

in the slumlord business.

We don't know that yet.

Won't you have a seat?
I'll be right with you.

Thanks. Thanks.

Don...

Rush Sanders?

How do we tell Steve that
his Dad owns a sweatshop?

I have no idea.

For what I'm paying her,

I think Ms. Martin
might've worked out

her schedule to accommodate me.

Though I have to say,
she does have an eye.

Well, she means well,

but she's never run
a business like I have.

Defending your
partner, very admirable.

Oh, I'm not defending her.

Uh, why don't you try this one?

You know, I
think it's all right to

go off on flights of
fancy sometimes but...

A businesswoman can
not afford to be frivolous.

Mrs. Van Dyke, I wouldn't
say this just to anybody

but Donna's gotten
herself involved

with... of all things,
a sweatshop.

Sweatshop?

I will not wear clothes

that came from a sweatshop.

My God, I've got a closet full
of furs I can't even be seen in.

No, I picked these
out at the finest...

You picked them out?

You should never
let someone else

take credit for your talent.

You may be a modern woman,

but you have to learn
not to be so bashful.

Unzip me.

Well, I guess I just

grew up with a
strong sense of loyalty.

Being loyal is
one thing, Valerie.

Being used is another.

Well, okay, thanks for
calling The Beverly Beat.

Hello.

Hi. Hi.

So, we found out

the height requirement
for the rides is 48 inches.

And I'm 49.

Yes! Yes!

Which means you won't have
to commit a felony, after all.

What's a felony?

A felony is when you take

a six-year-old kid to
an amusement park

and don't take
him on all the rides.

You wouldn't commit a
felony, would you, Mommy?

Uh, you see that really
neat desk over there?

Wanna go mess it up?

Better yet,

how about I help
you make a headline?

Cool.

Oh, we're gonna have a blast!

We'll get on that
roller coaster... Steve...

We'll just go straight up
in the air and when we

come down, all
the blood... Steve...

Thanks.

I can't remember the last time

I saw him so excited.

Cool.

Hey, guys. Hey.

Hi. Hi.

Uh, we gotta talk to you.

You know, I was
just on my way out.

Come on, Zach.

Terri's putting me
in the headline.

"Zach Rules!"

Oh, we'll have to
read all about it later.

I'll pick you up at The
Peach Pit tomorrow at 10:00.

Don't be late, Z-man.

Don't worry, he'll
be ready at 8:00.

Let me guess.

Late-breaking news?

Steve, um, you ever hear of

Sandtrap Properties?

Yeah.

That's one of my
father's companies.

Then I guess the best
thing is to just tell you.

Tell me what?

Sandtrap owns the
sweatshop building.

Donna, my father owns
properties all over town.

Just because he
owns the building

doesn't mean he has
anything to do with

what the tenants
are doing in it.

Maybe, but it doesn't
look maintained at all.

My father doesn't run
a sweatshop, Donna.

Steve, we're not accusing,

but it does make sense
that the landlord would know

about the fire and
sanitation violations.

He's been cited.

You are accusing.

We still have some
checking to do.

No, we don't have
any checking to do.

I will do the checking.

I'm sure it's gonna be nothing.

Here, dude...

♪ Just let it go ♪

♪ Let it go ♪

Bring it up a little bit.

Guys, tha-that was
it, that was perfect!

That was killer.

Do you want to hear
something really killer?

We got this new song we've
been working on called "Prophesy."

It's a little raw, but that's
kind of the way we like it.

Are you ready?

One, two... DAVID: Uh, guys,

I really want to hear the
song, but, uh, what do you say

we finish up the stuff
we already know works?

All right.

You know what, uh, take five.

Okay.

Five's just about
all you got left.

All we need is another
hour and we'll be outta here.

No problem.

Lucky there's no one
booked in behind you.

Wonderful.

But I need to collect up front.

Up front?

You know I'm good for it.

You've heard these guys.

We're on the Yellow
Brick Road here.

Yeah, I know, but
it's a crowded road.

Look, I don't make the rules.

Here.

This the one that kicked
back on me before?

Um, yeah, it might be.

You know, as soon as,
uh, we're done, I'll bring

another one back. Sorry, man.

My hands are tied.

What's up, boss?

Uh, nothing, um, the
studio's all booked up,

we're out of time.

We'll be back tomorrow.

3:00's yours if
you want it, man.

But you gotta handle
it before you start.

Thanks.

Handle what? Just some,

uh, release forms.

Is 3:00

cool for you? Yeah, but I gotta

be somewhere at 6:00, so,
uh, just make sure you tell

the homeboy that we're
not working on African time.

To tell you the truth,

I didn't even know there
was a garment factory in there.

Ernie manages all my
downtown properties for me.

Well, good, 'cause you
know, we got this lead

and we gotta check up on it.

Of course you do.

I don't like people being
exploited any more than you do.

I'll check into it myself.

If any of my tenants are
violating the labor code,

not paying overtime,

whatever, I'll, uh, I'll
make them shape up.

Good.

Thanks.

Uh, you know,

allegedly, there's some
building code violations.

Yeah, well, it's all those
downtown buildings.

We're continually
fixing things up.

It may look a little
funky, but it all works.

And it's safe.

Well, that's what's
important. Mm-hmm.

Don't you worry,
leave everything to me.

I'll make sure nothing
illegal is going on.

You're being straight
with me, right, Dad?

Completely.

Okay, I'm sorry I asked.

Hello?

I called Mrs. Van Dyke.
She said it went great.

Yeah, she loved everything.

Not only that, she
gave us a referral.

A Mrs. Jordan.

Th-That's great.

Yeah, the only problem is,

she wants to see me
tomorrow and I can't.

Can you cover for me?

Look, Donna, I don't mind

covering for you in a pinch,

but to put it bluntly,

I don't know why we're
splitting the proceeds.

Oh, no, no, the
fee is all yours.

Okay, listen, um,
I'm kind of in a rush,

so can you leave the
information on my machine?

Sure. Wait, Val, are you okay?

Yeah, it's just, uh...

Donna, how do you know it's
right between you and David?

Right like...

Well, meant to be.

Like you guys belong together.

Well, I know we belong together

because of the way
I feel when we're not.

You feel empty.

Yeah, completely.

You and Noah?

Yeah.

But if he only had
money like Cooper.

I'm sick of being poor.

Listen, um, I gotta go.

Bye.

God.

So, how about dinner?

You know, you gotta stop

coming by here without calling.

I called this morning.

Look, I'm-I'm really late.
I gotta go, it's important.

More important than
dinner at The Mark Hopkins?

San Francisco?

The jet's fueled and ready.

Where the hell are you, Val?

Well, it's like I said,
he owns the building

but he doesn't know
what's going on.

What's this?

It's a document I got
from the County Clerk.

Sandtrap Properties not
only owns the building,

it's also listed as one of the
owners of Soho Mix & Match.

So?

So, we're not just talking
about building codes.

Rush is also liable for any

sanitation and labor
violations, as well.

Ah, it's some corporate thing.

I'm sure there's a zillion
reasons why some bureaucracy

would list Sandtrap
as one of the owners.

We just need one.

You're not gonna mention
my father in this, are you?

I'm reporting who the owners
of Soho Mix & Match are.

Sandtrap Properties
is one of the owners.

Rush Sanders is the CEO.

Bran, you can't do that.

A lot of people are being
mistreated here, Steve.

Donna saw one person
get a little steam burn.

That one person was a kid!

Oh, please, spare me the sermon.

We both know this
isn't about some kid.

Really?

What's it about, Steve?

Circulation? Notoriety?

The L.A. Times turned you
down for a job, didn't they?

Well, a big expose like
this would be your way

of showing them they
were wrong, wouldn't it?

You're way off base.

Maybe.

But maybe you want
to succeed so badly

you don't care who
gets hurt along the way.

I don't like doing this.

Then don't do it.

I have to! Then keep my

father's name out of it!

I don't think I can.

Hey,

what's going on?

Nothing. We've, uh,
just been operating

on such different schedules
lately, I haven't seen you much.

Wow, smells good.

Swordfish,

asparagus, mashed potatoes.

Give me five minutes, okay?

Oh, boy,

looks like the post
office finally figured out

where I live.

Yeah, along with bill
collectors, junk mailers.

Can you believe
that whole stack is

one day's worth of catalogues

and easy credit offers?

Let me throw that crap away.

So, how'd the demo turn out?

Uh, we, we didn't finish.

Did you run out of time?

Yeah, something like that.

You know, just 'cause
someone says something

a little off color doesn't
make him a bigot.

I don't believe that.
Devin's under a lot of stress.

All right? I gotta believe
that's why he says those things.

I don't care about Devin.

Well, Steve told me what
you've been saying about him.

David, I want you to do well.

I'm just not sure I want
you to do well with him.

Well, at least the guy I work
with doesn't operate sweatshops.

Yeah,

the difference is, I'm
doing something about it.

You know, I'm not really hungry.

I think I'm just
gonna go to bed.

How long have you been here?

A while.

It's okay. I was just practicing

this knot that Noah taught me.

Did he walk you
up from the boat?

Yes, he did.

Brandon, would you relax?

Sorry, I'm just concerned,

that's all.

I know you are,
but I'm fine, okay?

In fact, I'm even
ready for tomorrow.

It shouldn't be too bad.

Go in, point at the guy,
put him away for 25 to life,

go home.

If I remember.

You'll remember.

You remembered everything else.

Everything else I
wanted to remember.

This I would rather forget.

Kel,

this is gonna end,

I promise.

My God, what happened here?

Uh, I was, I was taking the
trash out, and the bag broke.

You know, we should really get

those double-strength ones.

Yeah, whatever.

Uh, listen, before I forget,

Devin called while you
were in the bathroom.

He wanted to make sure
you were still on for 3:00.

And he was rude about it.

He's just a little on
edge about the demo.

But believe me, the music's
well worth the aggravation.

Well, you know
how I feel about it.

Yeah, I do. And I
really don't feel like

arguing about it this morning.

David...

Are, are we okay?

Look, last night
was my fault, okay?

You cooked a really nice
dinner, and I blew it off.

I'm sorry.

It's not even about last night.

I just feel like we never
have time to talk anymore.

I just... I really need to get
this band up and running.

Then everything will
level out, I promise.

I hope you're right.

Bye.

Bye.

Hi. Uh, yeah, I'm calling

about this instant credit
application you sent me.

Right.

Um, what do I have to do
to get this activated today?

Whoop.

Where's Steve?

I told you we're early, honey.

He'll be here.

All work and no play
makes Steve a dull boy.

He's as sharp as they get.

He'll be here.

Where'd you get
this? Chk-chk-chk-chk!

He's really teed off that
we're doing this story.

Steve's just being
defensive because of his dad.

I know, but there's also
something in what he said.

And it's an
important story to tell.

Even if it hurts Steve?

Yeah, even if.

Is that Eluvia?

No, but I think one of them
was with her yesterday.

Excuse me. Hi.

Do you remember me?
I'm looking for Eluvia.

Um...

Oh, please, I really
need to talk to her.

Eluvia not here.

Well, do you know
where she lives?

No. You can trust me.
I really need to talk...

I don't know where she is.

I can't stick around
here much longer.

I've gotta meet Kelly
at the police station.

I know.

I think I'm just gonna
stick it out here.

All right, I'll see you
at the paper later.

Brandon...

We're doing the
right thing here.

See you later.

Hi, can I help you?

Brandon Walsh?

Oh, um, he's not in, but
you can leave a message

if you'd like.

Miss Donna give me
paper, write his name.

Do you work at that Soho, um...

What's the name?

Hold down the fort, okay?

Soho Mix & Match.

Oh, that's Brandon's
bid for Pulitzer Prize.

I'm outta here.

Boss fire me for talking

to Miss Donna.

I say nothing.

Oh, honey, sweetie, here.

Don't...

It's okay.

It's okay.

Terri, uh, maybe a
glass of water, too.

Yeah, sure.

I never say nothing.

How long we work, for pennies.

44 of us squeezed like sardines.

No go to the bathroom
when we want.

It's okay, it's okay.

Where are you from?

El Salvador.

Come here, try
make a better life.

Gracias.

I'll tell you what.

Let's start at the beginning.

I'm gonna record this,

okay?

Okay.

Your name is?

Eluvia Alvarenga.

I need food, need rent.

Husband is dead.

Okay, just take it slow.

Hi.

Hey.

Listen, um, about last night.

Uh, I was on my way over and...

No need for an explanation.

I got your message
loud and clear.

So then why'd you come?

In a word: Laundry.

Kelly said she'd, uh,

leave it in the dining room.

Ah.

Nice flowers.

Yeah, they're Kelly's.

Wow, Brandon really
goes all out, huh?

Must be nice to have someone
that cares for you like that.

I wouldn't know.

No, I guess not.

Noah, wait, okay? This is dumb.

So when you coming back?

Year. A couple months.

Never.

You can't stay away
from me that long.

Try me.

It wouldn't have
worked, you know.

No, maybe not.

But you were too
afraid to find out.

Afraid to find out what?

Would I have stayed
if you asked me.

Part of me hopes that
nothing comes back in there.

Isn't that awful?

No.

Either way, when this is done...

we move on.

You ready?

Guess so.

Uh, can't have you
in the room with her.

Procedure.

I'll be all right.

Right over there.

There you are.

Now, they're not gonna
be able to see me, right?

They can't see you, hear
you, or get anywhere near you.

You're perfectly safe here.

Let's do this.

Take your time, Ms. Taylor.

Be sure.

He's not here.

Kelly, are you sure
it's not number one?

I'm positive.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I remembered everything.

At least you were
able to ID the guy.

No, I didn't.

But I thought you said...

Brandon, he wasn't in there.

The guy I picked
wasn't in there?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Look, I gotta tell you, um,

eyewitness ID's
are not foolproof.

Kelly, that's the guy.

I'll never forget his face.

Neither will I.

Not anymore.

You know, I gotta tell you,
the DA might drop the case.

But that's the guy.

I'm not saying it isn't.

But without the
victim corroborating,

this guy can walk.

What did you want
me to do, Brandon?

Lie?

No, Kelly, I didn't
want you to lie.

You know what?

I just went through
hell in there. I don't

appreciate being
punished for it.

I'm just frustrated, okay, Kel?

I mean, you have to
admit that an immediate ID

by someone who didn't go
through the trauma of getting shot

and didn't have amnesia
for almost a month

is worth a lot more than
the one you gave in there.

It's like the detective said,

your mind can play
tricks on you. Exactly.

And whose mind has been
going through hoops lately,

yours or mine? Brandon,

you've been under
a lot of stress, too.

Or did you forget
about your nightmares?

Or maybe it's that you
wanted to ID someone

so bad... That I
just picked anyone?

I'm right about that guy, Kelly.

Just like I was right about
the make of the stolen car,

the partial license...
All right, Brandon,

you're right.

You're right about everything.

Misread the green.

Amateur mistake.

Okay, hotshot, you try it.

No, thanks.

Dad, uh, we have
something to talk about.

Sure, what's on your mind?

Well, there's some
people making charges.

I know there's a
good explanation.

You talking about that
garment business again?

I mean, you just told
me about it yesterday.

Yeah, well I need a
couple of answers.

Okay.

Okay, what are these charges?

16-hour workday,

no worker's comp...

Oh, wait a minute,

those are labor code violations.

The people who own the
business are liable for those, not me.

Yeah, see, that's where
the confusion is for me, Dad.

You see, the County
Registrar's Office

lists Sandtrap
Properties as the owner.

Of the building, sure.

Of Soho Mix & Match.

Well, on paper, maybe.

Hey, look, I operate a
complicated business,

I got investments
all over the place.

Sometimes I don't even know

which offices I'm
supposed to go to.

Either you own the
sweatshops or you don't.

It's not that complicated.
An honest businessman

can't turn around these days
without getting tangled up

into some politically
incorrect snafu.

One minute you're
investing in a rental property,

the next minute you're playing
nanny to 44 immigrant workers.

How'd you know
it was 44 workers?

Steve...

I'm sure we can find a way
to do the right thing here.

Well, that's never been
my strong suit, has it, Dad?

You should know
that more than anyone,

always telling me
what a screw-up I am,

insisting that I grow up,

take responsibility
for my actions.

Well, now it's me telling you.

Except we're talking
about the real world here,

not some school prank.

That's all the more reason.

Now, I intend to
do the right thing.

The question here is, do you?

I'm sorry, Dave,

but I'm gonna have
to bill you the time.

Ah, here they come. You're late.

Whatever.

Go ahead,

set up.

Here you go.

Oh, virgin card.

Yeah, check out
that magnetic strip.

Never been swiped.

Yeah, well, don't
forget who helped you

when you were getting started.

Oh, your name's
tattooed on my chest.

You guys set?

Yeah, we've been
ready since 3:00.

You cost me two
hours of overtime.

Hey, um, Brandon, you...

you know, I-I could
stay if you want me to.

No, that's all right,
I'm gonna be here late.

First thing in the
morning will be fine.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, hey, Donna. Hey.

Hey.

So I waited all day.

Eluvia never showed.

Listen to this.

Your name is?

Eluvia Alvarenga.

Eluvia was here?

Yep.

I need food,

need rent.

Husband is dead.

Okay, just take it slow.

Tell me about Soho Mix & Match.

How much do you get an hour?

No hour.

Piecework.

I work 16 hours a day,

no overtime.

They no like your
work, you get nothing.

Sometimes they say they no like,

then use anyway.

It's everything we need, right?

Mm-hmm.

Pretty amazing stuff, Steve.

Yeah, that's why it's
gonna be a great story.

You know, Steve,

I could write this
without mentioning Rush.

I appreciate that.

But he knew something about it.

I don't know how
much or for how long,

but he knew something.

Just tell it straight.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

And put in it that he said
he'd fix anything that's wrong.

You got him to agree to that?

Yeah.

I'm on it, partner.

You did a good thing, Steve.

I hope Carly and Zach
aren't too bummed

about missing Magic Mountain.

Boat's over at the supply dock.

I'm just on my way over there.

Okay, um...

then I'll be quick about
what I came to say.

I just came to say, uh...

you're completely wrong for me.

I don't like the way you live or

what you do...
Or that I'm broke.

Or how you behave.

Or even where
you do your laundry.

Let's just speed things
up to the end, then.

I got a lot of work to
do before shipping out.

Okay.

All right, the end.

It's really hard for me to say.

Get somebody to replace you.

Please, Noah.

I really don't want you to go.

What's gonna change if I stay?

I don't know. I...

But if you leave now...

we're never gonna find out.

Come here.

You were right.

I am afraid.

So am I.

I'm sorry.

It's not good enough.

All right, well, at least
let me apologize to Zach.

He may not forgive me, but

at least he'll see what
someone's supposed to do

when they screw up, right?

Hey, Z-man.

Guess you don't want to
have anything to do with me.

I don't blame you.

I know it hurts when someone
you count on lets you down.

Especially if it's a grownup.

They're supposed
to know better, right?

A grownup let me
down today, too.

I'm sorry about Magic
Mountain, buddy.

Zachary, I hope someday
you could forgive me.

If you don't, I'll understand.

Are you gonna forgive
the guy that let you down?

I'm gonna try.

It's never gonna end, is it?

They're never going
to catch the guy.
