When a girl cop is brought in wounded, Jesse patches her up and dates her, but as Amanda finds and brings her out, she sets him up for a staged scary ride.
YOU HAVE TO HELP HER.
MA'AM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO STAY WITH THE NURSE.
P.A. system:
Ordering med student
Alex Martin to the E.R.
Dr. Alex Martin to the E.R.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
26-YEAR-OLD FEMALE,
NAME'S JOYCE DePARMA.
TWO OBVIOUS G.S.W.,
RIGHT CHEST.
RESPIRATORY RATE
IS 58 AND SHALLOW.
80/50.
TRACHEA IS DEVIATED.
WE'VE GOT A TENSION PNEUMO.
SET HER FOR CHEST TUBE.
I WANT A TRAUMA PANEL
AND STAT CHEST FILM.
DON'T WORRY, MS. DePARMA.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
VERY GOOD CARE OF YOU.
I GOT THE CALL.
YOU NEED ME?
YEAH, ALEX. SCRUB UP
AND MEET ME
BACK HERE.
ALEX, DID YOU
HEAR ME?
UH, YEAH, SCRUB UP
AND MEET YOU BACK HERE.
UH, THE GIRL
WHO WAS JUST STANDING HERE...
DID ANYBODY GET HER NAME?
SHE WAS STANDING
RIGHT HERE.
SORRY.
SHE HAD NEVER REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS?
WITH AS MUCH BLOOD
AS SHE LOST
IT'S A MIRACLE SHE STAYED ALIVE
AS LONG AS SHE DID.
THE WOMAN WHO BROUGHT HER IN?
SHE SAID HER CAR PULLED UP
NEXT TO THEM. TINTED WINDOWS.
SHE DIDN'T PAY ANY ATTENTION
UNTIL AFTER HER FRIEND WAS SHOT
AND THE SHOOTER
HAD PULLED AWAY.
OH. THANK YOU.
YOU MAKE YOUR
CALL, ALEX?
YEAH.
HER MOTHER SAID
THAT AMY LEFT HOME THE YEAR
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
AMY?
THE GIRL WHO CAME IN
WITH THE PATIENT...
HER NAME IS AMY SAROYAN.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
IN SIX OR SEVEN YEARS
BUT I'D SWEAR
IT WAS HER.
DID HER MOTHER SAY
SHE MOVED TO LOS ANGELES?
SHE SAID
THAT AFTER SHE LEFT HOME
SHE STOPPED CALLING,
STOPPED WRITING...
JUST DROPPED OFF
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
I GUESS MRS. SAROYAN'S
NEVER GOTTEN OVER IT.
SO YOU'RE NOT SURE
THE GIRL YOU SAW HERE
WAS YOUR FRIEND OR NOT?
LOOK, I'M TELLING YOU,
IF THAT WASN'T AMY
IT WAS SOMEBODY
WHO LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HER.
OKAY, THIS IS GOING
TO STING A LITTLE BIT.
OW.
THE DOG THAT BIT YOU...
THEY PICKED IT UP?
YEAH, THEY BROUGHT IT
TO THE POUND
TO MAKE SURE
IT DOESN'T HAVE RABIES.
I'M SURE IT'S OKAY.
I'M SURE YOU GET ASKED THIS
A LOT...
OH, DON'T.
DON'T WHAT?
"A LITTLE SLIP
OF A GIRL LIKE YOU...
AREN'T YOU AFRAID,
BEING A COP?"
I WASN'T GOING
TO ASK THAT.
NO?
NOT EXACTLY.
I WAS GOING TO ASK
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE
TO BECOME A COP.
I NEEDED A JOB.
YOU NEEDED A JOB?
YOU COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING.
I MEAN, YOU COULD
HAVE, UH, BEEN A...
UH, A SECRETARY?
A SCHOOL TEACHER?
HOW ABOUT A STEWARDESS?
OR MAYBE A WAITRESS?
I WASN'T EVEN THINKING
ALONG THOSE LINES.
I WAS THINKING A BUSINESSWOMAN
OR A SCIENTIST...
I WANTED ADVENTURE, EXCITEMENT.
A LION TAMER?
IT'S A TWO-BEDROOM,
BUT THE LEASE IS
ONLY IN ONE NAME.
JOYCE DePARMA.
SHE HAVE A ROOMMATE?
PEOPLE COME AND GO.
YOU CAN ASK
THE NEIGHBORS.
THIS PLACE WAS TRASHED
PRETTY GOOD.
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE
HEARD SOMETHING.
BUT I GOT TO WARN YOU,
PEOPLE AROUND HERE
PRETTY MUCH MIND
THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
MOST LIKELY THERE WERE
TWO PEOPLE LIVING HERE.
ONE SHAMPOO FOR OILY HAIR,
ONE SHAMPOO FOR DRY
AND TWO DIFFERENT
KINDS OF CONDITIONERS.
IT MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN ALEX'S FRIEND
BUT I THINK THERE WERE
TWO PEOPLE LIVING HERE.
MM-HMM. TERESA,
SEE IF YOU CAN LIFT
SOME PRINTS
OFF THIS BOTTLES.
MAYBE WE CAN GET
A DEFINITE IDEA
ON LITTLE MISS WASN'T-HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU'RE GOING ON A RIDE-ALONG?
EVERY TIME I ASKED YOU,
YOU WERE ALWAYS TOO BUSY.
STEVE, YOU'RE A DETECTIVE.
YOU ARRIVE ON THE SCENE
AFTER THE FACT.
JESSE TRAVIS IS AN
ACTION KIND OF GUY.
I WANT TO BE OUT
THERE ON THE STREETS
MIXING IT UP, YOU KNOW?
I WANT TO BE WITH THE UNIFORMS
ON THE FRONTLINE
FIGHTING CRIME.
MOVE YOUR BUTT, DOC.
I'M LEAVING.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
PLUS, SHE'S MUCH CUTER
THAN I AM.
OH, YEAH.
THERE YOU GO.
GO GET 'EM, ACTION-JESS.
CAPTAIN CARDINAL, YOU
JUST STRAIGHTENING
MY PAPERS FOR ME
OR IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
OH, THANKS FOR THE PROMOTION
BUT IT'S NOT OFFICIAL
TILL NEXT WEEK.
WELL, OUR LOSS
IS TELEVISION'S GAIN.
I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE
A FINE PUBLIC
INFORMATION OFFICER.
UNLESS YOU'RE PLANNING
A NEWS BROADCAST AT MY DESK
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU KEEPING
YOUR HANDS OFF OF IT.
I WAS JUST LOOKING
FOR THE JOYCE DePARMA FILE.
SEE, I FOUND OUT THAT
SHE WAS A HIGH-CLASS CALL GIRL
AND I WANTED TO KNOW
IF YOU DISCOVERED THAT YET.
WHAT ELSE
DID YOUR PEOPLE TELL YOU?
WANT ME TO DO
YOUR ENTIRE JOB FOR YOU?
ALL RIGHT,
CARDINAL.
YOU'RE RIGHT. THANKS.
CHEER UP.
WITH ANY LUCK, IN ANOTHER WEEK
OR TWO, NEITHER ONE OF US
WILL HAVE TO PUT UP
WITH THE OTHER ONE ANYMORE.
STAY IN THE CAR.
STAY IN THE CAR.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
BREAK IT UP.
I SAID, BREAK IT UP!
LET'S GO! COME ON!
THIS IS A
PRIVATE PROBLEM.
LOOKS PRETTY PUBLIC
TO ME.
ANYBODY WANT TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
I THINK YOU
SHOULD BUTT OUT.
NO NEED FOR THAT. JUST WANT
TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
HEY, OFFICER,
WE CAN SETTLE THIS OURSELVES.
HEY, IT'S MY JOB, GUYS.
PATTY, YOU NEED
ANY HELP...?
JUST GET IN THE CAR.
JUST WANT TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS, OKAY?
YOU GOING TO ARREST US?
THINK THAT'S NECESSARY?
JUST TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU GOING TO MAKE US?
SURE YOU DON'T NEED HELP?
JUST GET IN THE CAR.
YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP
AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO REBUILD THAT KNEE
OUT OF SPARE PARTS.
SO YOU PREFER TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM HERE
OR DOWN AT THE STATION?
CLARISSA?
YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW THOSE PURSES
THAT WE HAVE?
I TOOK YOURS BY MISTAKE, AND...
CLARISSA...
OH, GOD.
GIVE ME THE BOOK.
I-I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SHE SAID THE BOOK
IS IN THE PURSE, AND I WANT IT.
Amy:
WHAT BOOK?
STAY AWAY FROM ME.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN PURSE.
I NEED TO SPEAK
TO ALEX MARTIN.
I KNOW HE WORKS HERE.
I SAW HIM THE OTHER DAY.
OK, I'LL PAGE HIM FOR YOU.
PLEASE. IT'S IMPORTANT. I...
AMY!
OH, GOD, ALEX,
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.
I'M IN REALLY BIG TROUBLE.
WHY DID YOU RUN
WHEN I SAW YOU THE OTHER NIGHT?
THE TRUTH?
I KNEW THAT JOYCE WAS
INTO SOMETHING BAD
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS ABOUT HER.
BESIDES, I
WAS AFRAID
THAT IF THE KILLER
THOUGHT I SAW HIM
HE'D COME BACK
AND KILL ME, TOO.
I JUST PANICKED.
I WAS SOMEWHERE OF
THE MOJAVE DESERT
WHEN I FINALLY
CAME TO MY SENSES.
UH, COULD YOU GIVE US
A MOMENT, PLEASE?
SURE.
ALEX?
EVEN BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
YOU WERE ALWAYS SOMEONE
THAT WAS GROUNDED, SANE.
YOU ALWAYS KNEW
WHAT TO DO.
I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
YOU SHOULD GO TO THE POLICE.
NO, I CAN'T GO
TO THE POLICE.
THEN IT'LL BE
IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
THE KILLER WILL KNOW
WHO I AM FOR SURE.
AMY, THE POLICE
CAN PROTECT YOU.
NO. NO POLICE.
WELL, MAYBE WE CAN
SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE.
WHAT IF IT'S UNOFFICIAL?
Steve:
WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY
AND LET US QUESTION YOU?
SHE WAS SCARED, STEVE.
Mark:
OF THE POLICE?
OF... WHATEVER JOYCE
IS INVOLVED IN.
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS
A TRUST FUND BABY
BUT I KNEW BETTER.
YOU SUSPECTED
HER REAL PROFESSION?
I'M NOT COMPLETELY NAIVE.
UH...
I, UH, HAVE TO ASK
YOU THIS. UM...
WAS I IN THE SAME BUSINESS
AS JOYCE?
NO.
NEVER.
I'M AN ACTRESS.
WOULD WE HAVE SEEN YOU
IN ANYTHING?
I'VE BEEN IN A FEW COMMERCIALS,
SOME SOAPS.
WHAT? DO YOU NEED
TO SEE MY CREDITS?
NO. THAT'S ALL RIGHT FOR NOW.
GET SOME REST.
Mark:
ALEX, YOU
KNOW WHERE
THE GUEST ROOM IS.
WHY DON'T YOU GET
AMY SETTLED?
YEAH, RIGHT.
THANK YOU, DR. SLOAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DO YOU BELIEVE HER STORY?
ALEX BELIEVES HER.
HARRY, COULD YOU GET
SOMEONE IN FORENSICS
TO LIFT THE PRINTS
OFF THIS GLASS
AND RUN THEM FOR ME?
THANKS.
HEY, GOT A MINUTE?
FOR YOU? ALWAYS.
WHAT'S THE CITY COUNCILMAN
DOING HERE?
OH, COUNCILMAN BOYLE?
SOMEBODY'S TRYING
TO BLACKMAIL HIM.
APPARENTLY, HE'S SPENT
A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY
ON HIGH-CLASS
CALL GIRLS.
HE DECIDED TO COME CLEAN
RATHER THAN PAY HIS BLACKMAIL.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
AN HONEST POLITICIAN.
HMM, OR A CHEAP ONE.
OH, SUCH CYNICISM
FOR ONE SO YOUNG.
SO HOW ARE THE RIDE-ALONGS
WITH JESSE COMING?
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
HE'S A FRIEND OF YOURS, RIGHT?
TRUE. IS THERE A PROBLEM?
NO, BUT SOME
OF THE GUYS
WANT TO PLAY A TRICK ON HIM
AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
IT WAS OKAY WITH YOU.
WHAT KIND OF TRICK?
SLOAN, WE NEED TO TALK.
UH-OH. HOTSHOT WANTS YOU.
HE CAN WAIT.
OH, SO CAN THIS.
I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT
LATER, OKAY?
A LITTLE INTRA-DEPARTMENTAL
FRATERNIZATION?
WHAT DO YOU WANT,
CARDINAL?
CAUGHT A HOMICIDE
YESTERDAY.
WOMAN'S NAME... CLARISSA OAKES.
THE MALIBU MADAM?
THE ONE AND ONLY.
NOW, ONE NEIGHBOR SAID
THAT HE HEARD A SHOT
AND THEN SAW SOME GUY
IN A SKI MASK
RUNNING AWAY.
AND?
WELL, JOYCE DePARMA'S
ONE OF HER GIRLS.
THAT'S KIND OF A LEAP, ISN'T IT?
NOT ACCORDING TO MY SOURCES, NO.
I THOUGHT WE PUT CLARISSA
OUT OF BUSINESS.
WELL, SHE WAS BACK,
ACCORDING TO MY SOURCES.
JUST WHERE THE HELL
DO YOU FIND THESE SOURCES?
YOU'RE TOO NICE A GUY, SLOAN.
I KNOW HOW TO SQUEEZE.
I JUST THINK WE SHOULD POOL
OUR INFORMATION
AND INVESTIGATION.
YOU WANT TO TAKE MY CASE.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
NO, I JUST THINK
IF WE FIND A LINK
WE SHOULD WORK IT TOGETHER.
YOU'RE THE RANKING DETECTIVE.
I'D BE WORKING FOR YOU.
IN NAME ONLY.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
IF THERE IS A CONNECTION,
I CAUGHT THE FIRST CASE.
DEPARTMENTAL POLICY SAYS
I GET EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS.
UNLESS I GO TO THE CAPTAIN
AND ASK FOR IT ALL MYSELF.
YOU DO THAT, YOU'RE IN
FOR THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE.
MR. SLOAN
I PLAY THE GAME BETTER THAN YOU.
THAT'S WHY I'M GETTING PROMOTED
AND YOU'RE STUCK HERE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FILE.
IF YOU'RE SMART,
WE'LL WORK IT TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT
I REMEMBER BEST
ABOUT YOU?
THE CRAZY THINGS
YOU TALKED ME INTO.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I NEVER DID ANYTHING CRAZY.
ON, NO?
AND WHAT ABOUT THE TIME
WE SNUCK INTO THE CARNIVAL
AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING?
THE WATCHMAN
ALMOST CAUGHT US?
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT
THAT WAS FUN.
ALMOST HAD
A HEART ATTACK.
THE GUY ALMOST
STEPPED ON US.
AND HE WOULD HAVE
CAUGHT US, TOO
IF YOU HADN'T PUT
YOUR HAND OVER MY MOUTH
AND STOPPED ME
FROM LAUGHING.
YOU SAVED ME.
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY
BRINGING ME HERE
THE WAY YOU DID.
YOU SAVED ME AGAIN.
WELL, IT WAS THE ONLY
PLACE I COULD THINK OF.
STEVE AND DR. SLOAN
ARE GOOD PEOPLE.
I KNOW.
SO ARE YOU.
Alex:
STEVE, HAVE YOU SEEN MY...?
HERE IT IS.
UH, LISTEN, ALEX
I KNOW IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS, BUT...
WHAT?
WELL, I COULDN'T HELP
BUT SEEING YOU AND AMY
OUT THERE EARLIER.
YEAH?
I'M SURE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT
SHE'S A VERY NICE GIRL, BUT...
BUT YOU DON'T LIKE HER.
I DON'T KNOW
IF I LIKE HER OR NOT.
I JUST KNOW HER STORY IS...
ALL I'M SAYING, ALEX, IS
UNTIL WE GET THIS THING
CHECKED OUT
MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO SLOW.
"GO SLOW"? STEVE, I'VE KNOWN AMY
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING
ABOUT HER LIFE OUT HERE.
BUT I KNOW HER.
LOOK, STEVE,
I'M NOT A CHILD, OKAY?
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
STEVE
ALEX...
IF SHE'S IN TROUBLE,
THEN I WANT TO HELP HER.
I THOUGHT YOU WOULD
CUT HER SOME SLACK.
ALEX, I'M TRYING.
YEAH. WELL, I GOT
TO GET BACK TO MY SHIFT.
Jesse:
MAN, I'M TELLING YOU
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER.
THESE TWO GUYS
WERE DUKING IT OUT
LIKE HOLYFIELD AND TYSON
AND SHE WADES IN THERE
LIKE A PRINCIPAL
AT A GRADE SCHOOL FIGHT.
BEFORE IT WAS ALL OVER
THEY WERE SHAKING
HANDS AND APOLOGIZING
TO EACH OTHER.
WOW, THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
"IMPRESSIVE"?
SHE SHOULD WORK FOR
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
MAYBE SHE ENJOYS
BEING A POLICEWOMAN.
YEAH, SHE DOES.
I'M JUST AMAZED
SOMEONE SO SMALL
COULD BE SO
EFFECTIVE AS A COP.
WELL, MAYBE LIKE
A LOT OF WOMEN
SHE'S JUST LEARNED
HOW TO USE DIFFERENT WEAPONS.
MADISON, MAY I HAVE
A WORD WITH YOU?
OF COURSE.
I'D LIKE TO GO
OVER THE NEXT ROTATION
OF STUDENTS.
SURE. OH, THIS IS
DR. HJORTSBERG.
DR. HJORTSBERG,
AMANDA BENTLEY,
JESSE TRAVIS.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'VE HEARD
A LOT ABOUT YOU.
LIKEWISE.
IT'S NICE
TO PUT A FACE
WITH THE NAME.
DR. TRAVIS.
MADISON, I'VE GOT TO RUN.
I'M MEETING A PATIENT
AT THE BEVERLY HILLS OFFICE
AND I KNOW I'M GOING
TO BE LATE
SO WE'LL TALK SOON.
WE CERTAINLY WILL. BYE.
DOCTORS.
Jesse:
ISN'T THAT THE GUY
THEY CALL "THE PLASTIC SURGEON
TO THE STARS"?
HE HATES THAT TITLE.
APPARENTLY, IT'S WELL DESERVED.
NO APPARENTLY ABOUT IT.
THE GUY HAS WORKED ON 100'S OF
PEOPLE, IN FACT
YOU KNOW WHO
HE WORKED ON YESTERDAY?
- JESSE...
- WHO?
I NEVER TOOK YOU TO BE A GOSSIP.
IT'S NOT GOSSIP, IT'S NEWS.
I SAW IT ON E! ENTERTAINMENT.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
IT'S HEALING VERY WELL.
IT'S A MIRACLE.
I HAVE TO ADMIT
IT'S THE MOST COMPLETE
RECONSTRUCTION I'VE EVER DONE
BUT I'M VERY PLEASED
WITH THE RESULTS.
I DON'T THINK MY OWN MOTHER
WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE ME.
I JUST GAVE YOU
WHAT YOU WANTED.
DOCTOR, YOU GAVE ME
EXACTLY
WHAT I WANTED.
Alex:
NO, NO, DON'T MOVE.
I'LL GET THE WATER
AND BE RIGHT BACK.
DR. SLOAN.
WHERE'S AMY?
I THINK SHE'S EMBARRASSED.
ALEX, IT ISN'T MY BUSINESS
TO DICTATE YOUR MORALITY
BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE...
I KNOW, SIR.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE'VE ABUSED YOUR HOSPITALITY.
YOU'VE BEEN GOOD TO ME
ALL THE THROUGH MEDICAL SCHOOL
NOW TAKING AMY IN LIKE THIS...
I APOLOGIZE.
ME, TOO.
IT WAS ALL MY FAULT.
NO...
IF YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE,
I'LL GO.
I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU.
I'LL JUST... I'LL FIND
SOMEPLACE ELSE TO GO.
Steve:
DAD?
IN HERE, STEVE.
IS AMY...?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I TOOK THE FINGERPRINTS
OFF OF AMY'S BREAKFAST
GLASS YESTERDAY.
YOU TOOK HER
FINGERPRINTS?
LET ME FINISH, ALEX.
I BRING A FRIEND
TO YOUR HOUSE
AND YOU TAKE
HER FINGERPRINTS?
IT WAS A PRECAUTION, ALEX.
WHY?
HER FINGERPRINTS WERE
ALL OVER A MURDER SCENE.
YEAH, HER ROOMMATE'S.
SHE TOLD YOU THAT.
ANOTHER MURDER SCENE, ALEX.
THE APARTMENT
OF A WOMAN
NAMED CLARISSA OAKES.
YOU KNOW WHO
CLARISSA OAKES WAS, ALEX?
WHAT? THE ONE IN THE PAPERS?
"THE MALIBU MADAM"?
YOU WANT TO TELL US
HOW THEY GOT THERE?
I...
YOU WERE THERE
WHEN SHE WAS MURDERED.
NO. I FOUND HER.
I RAN TO ALEX
AND THEN WE CAME HERE.
WHY WERE YOU IN HER APARTMENT?
WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE?
YOU WERE WORKING FOR HER,
WEREN'T YOU?
I...
ALEX...
Amy:
I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
PLEASE JUST LET ME
GO TALK TO HIM.
YOU'RE LIVING
WITH ONE PERSON
THAT GETS MURDERED
THEN YOU GO STAY
WITH ANOTHER ONE
AND SHE GETS MURDERED.
I DIDN'T KILL THEM.
YOU KNOW I DIDN'T.
YOU FLED FROM US,
THEN YOU LIED TO US.
YOU EVEN HAD THE NERVE
TO ASK ALEX TO HAVE US
TAKE YOU IN AND HIDE YOU.
I WAS SCARED.
PLEASE, YOU MUST
BELIEVE ME.
LOOK, I'LL DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
JUST LET ME GO TALK TO HIM
FOR TWO MINUTES.
TWO MINUTES.
STEVE
I DON'T THINK
SHE'S GOING ANYWHERE.
ARE YOU?
NO. I PROMISE.
ALL RIGHT, TWO MINUTES.
BUT IF YOU EVEN LOOK
LIKE YOU'RE GOING
TO TRY SOMETHING FUNNY,
I'LL ARREST YOU
AND HOLD YOU
AS A MATERIAL WITNESS.
THANK YOU.
ALEX...
YOU LIED TO ME.
WHAT I TOLD YOU
WAS TRUE.
I DID COME TO LOS ANGELES
TO BECOME AN ACTRESS.
I HAD A FEW PARTS
AND I MODELED
I WAITRESSED AND I SOLD SHOES.
I DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO
WHILE YOU'RE WAITING
FOR YOUR BREAK
BUT I LOST MY JOB
AND, AND, MY
UNEMPLOYMENT
RAN OUT.
I WAS BROKE AND DESPERATE.
AND THERE WERE
NO OTHER SOLUTIONS?
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
PLEASE, ALEX?
THESE LAST FEW DAYS
WITH YOU, I...
I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE THAT LOST
DESPERATE PERSON
I'VE BECOME,
YOU KNOW?
I FELT LIKE
I FELT LIKE THE GIRL
I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU KNOW, THE GIRL THAT SNUCK
INTO THE CARNIVAL WITH YOU?
AND I LIKED IT.
I LIKED IT A LOT.
I DON'T BLAME YOU IF YOU NEVER
WANT TO SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.
BUT EVEN IT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS,
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU.
YOU HELPED ME REMEMBER
WHO I REALLY AM.
AMY...
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
THAT I CAN DEAL
WITH THIS, ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T, BUT...
GOD, AMY.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
Amy:
I SAW A MAN
IN A SKI MASK. THAT'S IT.
I TURNED AND RAN
AND I HEARD...
AND THEN HE SHOT CLARISSA.
I JUST KEEP THINKING
IF I HAD, IF I HAD SCREAMED
OR ATTACKED HIM
THEN MAYBE SHE'D STILL BE ALIVE.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHAT WAS "SKI MASK" LOOKING FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, CLARISSA WAS BEATEN
BEFORE SHE WAS SHOT.
BADLY BEATEN.
MY GUESS IS
THAT HE WANTED SOMETHING
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE HIM.
NOW, WHAT WOULD THAT BE,
DO YOU THINK?
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?
LIEUTENANT CARDINAL
TRIED TO FIND
CLARISSA'S CLIENT LIST.
DO YOU THINK MAYBE
THE MAN YOU SAW FOUND IT
AND HE'S THE ONE THAT'S TRYING
TO BLACKMAIL COUNCILMAN BOYLE?
I DON'T KNOW. I SWEAR
I DON'T.
THEN LET'S TRY
SOMETHING EASIER.
WHO IS CLARISSA'S PARTNER?
"PARTNER"?
HE WAS A PARTNER
OR A PROTECTOR
OR ENFORCER OF SOME KIND.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT A PARTNER, I SWEAR.
YOU THINK MAYBE
THIS SILENT PARTNER
AND CLARISSA HAD A FALLING OUT
AND HE'S THE ONE
THAT KILLED HER?
I DON'T KNOW!
I DON'T KNOW!
I DON'T KNOW! WHY
WHY AREN'T YOU BELIEVING ME?
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT A SILENT PARTNER!
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY WANTED
OR WHY ANYBODY WOULD HAVE WANTED
TO KILL CLARISSA OR JOYCE!
I GAVE YOU THE NAMES
OF ALL THE OTHER GIRLS
I KNOW THAT WORKED
FOR CLARISSA.
ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?
WHAT'S ALL THIS
ABOUT A "SILENT PARTNER?"
YOU THINK YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE
WITH INFORMANTS?
Alex:
THANKS, YOU GUYS
FOR COMING OUT
TO THE HOUSE WITH ME.
AMY WILL ENJOY
THE COMPANY.
WELL, AN INVITATION
TO HAVE
ALL THE BARBECUE
YOU CAN EAT
IT'S PRETTY HARD
TO TURN DOWN.
I'LL GET PLENTY.
LISTEN, I NEED TO TALK
TO JESSE FOR A MINUTE.
THAT'S FINE.
I'LL JUST SIT
RIGHT HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
JESS, YOU GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH. WHAT'S UP?
YOU KNOW THAT WOMAN
YOU'VE BEEN GOING
ON THOSE RIDE-ALONGS
WITH?
YEAH, PATTY.
YEAH. UM, STEVE TOLD ME
THAT SHE SPOKE
TO HIM ABOUT YOU.
SHE DID?
YEAH. SHE SAID THAT
YOU WERE ACTING LIKE...
UM, WHAT WAS THE PHRASE?
LIKE A HOT DOG.
SHE SAID THAT YOU WERE NOT
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
AND THAT YOU WERE
A LITTLE TOO EAGER
TO RUSH IN AND
HELP HER OUT.
OH YEAH.
YEAH, SO THEY'RE
GOING TO PLAY A JOKE ON YOU.
WHAT KIND OF JOKE?
WELL, A STUPID JOKE.
IN FACT, THE NEXT
TIME YOU GO OUT
THEY'RE GOING TO SIMULATE
A DANGEROUS SITUATION
AND PATTY'S GOING
TO PRETEND TO BE
IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW... I THINK
THAT THEY'RE BETTING
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
FREEZE UP OR FREAK OUT
OR PANIC.
WHATEVER IT IS,
THEY THINK THAT
IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU
DOWN A PEG OR TWO.
PERSONALLY, I THINK
IT'S PATHETIC.
MAYBE IT'S THEIR IDEA
OF COP HUMOR.
YOU LIKE HER A LOT,
DON'T YOU?
YEAH, I DID.
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
ABOUT NOT TELLING YOU
AND THEN I THOUGHT
IT WAS BETTER
THAT YOU JUST KNOW
AHEAD OF TIME.
YEAH... NO... THANKS.
I'M SORRY.
THANK YOU. REALLY.
I'M VERY FLATTERED.
I'M HERE WITH MY FRIENDS.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
THEN SOME OTHER TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME
YOUR PHONE NUMBER...
I'LL MAKE A CALL.
I... I THINK NOT.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
UH... YOU KNOW...
YOU KNOW, IT'S ONLY...
IT'S ONLY DINNER.
YOU KNOW, I SAID
TO YOU BEFORE
I'M VERY FLATTERED,
BUT NO.
OKAY. I'M SORRY IF I
OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.
NO, NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I APOLOGIZE.
IT'S OKAY.
BUT YOU CAN HARDLY BLAME ME
WITH A WOMAN AS BEAUTIFUL
AS YOURSELF.
GO. YEAH.
I'M GOING.
OH, OKAY.
GOOD-BYE, I'M GONE.
MADISON, WHAT WAS
THAT ALL ABOUT?
HE WAS TRYING TO PICK ME UP.
HE WAS CUTE.
YEAH, HE'S CUTE, BUT
I DON'T LET STRANGE MEN
PICK ME UP FROM
BARBECUE RESTAURANTS.
OKAY, LET'S GO, GUYS.
I AM STARVING.
ME, TOO.
SLOAN HERE.
Steve?
MADISON?
HI. LISTEN, WE'RE HEADING OUT
ON THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY
FOR YOUR HOUSE, AND WE THINK
SOMEBODY'S FOLLOWING US.
We're concerned that he's
USING US TO FIND AMY.
WELL, ARE YOU SURE?
TELL HIM ABOUT THE WEIRD GUY AT
BARBECUE BOB'S.
HE PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT
RIGHT BEHIND US
AND I'M PRETTY SURE
HE'S FOLLOWING US.
AND ALSO, STEVE...
I HEARD HIM. WHERE
ARE YOU EXACTLY?
WELL, WE JUST PASSED
THE GETTY MUSEUM.
ALL RIGHT, KEEP DRIVING
ON THE COAST HIGHWAY.
I'LL HAVE A PATROL CAR
PULL HIM OVER.
I'll get there as fast as I can.
GREAT.
LIEUTENANT, HERE IS
HIS IDENTIFICATION.
BRETT HAYWARD?
YEAH. YOU GUYS MIND TELLING ME
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
MR. HAYWARD, YOU MIND
TELLING
ME
WHY YOU WERE FOLLOWING
THESE PEOPLE?
I WASN'T FOLLOWING...
I WASN'T FOLLOWING ANYBODY.
I WAS GOING TO MALIBU.
THIS IS STILL THE ROAD
TO MALIBU, ISN'T IT?
AND WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING
ON DOING IN MALIBU?
WELL, IF IT'S
ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS
I WAS GOING TO
THE BLUE PELICAN.
WHY WOULD YOU GO
TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT
WHEN YOU JUST LEFT ONE?
BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE THE MENU.
LOOK, UNLESS SOMEBODY'S
REPEALED THE BILL OF RIGHTS
THIS IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY,
RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
HAVE TO TELL
ANYBODY WHERE I'M GOING
OR WHAT I'M DOING.
LIEUTENANT, HE TOLD US THERE'S
A BARTENDER
AT THE BLUE PELICAN
WHO CAN I.D. HIM.
I'VE BEEN GOING THERE
EVERY NIGHT FOR A WEEK.
YOU CALLED?
THE BARTENDER SAID
HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS GUY
FROM ADAM.
Hayward:
WAIT, THAT'S CRAZY.
LET ME MAKE A PHONE CALL.
I'LL TALK TO THE GUY.
YOU GET ONE CALL...
AFTER YOU'RE BOOKED.
TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE STATION.
I'LL FOLLOW IN MY CAR.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M LEAVING TOMORROW.
WHY?
I'M TIRED OF
BEING TREATED
LIKE I'M SOME SORT
OF A CRIMINAL.
IF HE WAS LOOKING
TO FIND AMY
HOW DID HE KNOW
TO FOLLOW US?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IT SURE WAS CREEPY.
IT SURE WAS.
EXCUSE ME, GUYS?
COULD I TALK TO DR. SLOAN ALONE
A MINUTE, PLEASE?
SURE. MADISON, WOULD
YOU GRAB THE RIBS?
THANKS.
DR. SLOAN, AMY'S PACKING.
I KNOW.
YOU HAVE TO TALK TO HER.
WELL, SHE WANTS TO GO, ALEX.
I DON'T SEE WHAT I CAN DO
TO STOP HER.
YOU CAN TELL HER
YOU BELIEVE HER.
ALEX...
BUT YOU DON'T, DO YOU?
YOU HAVEN'T BELIEVED HER
FOR ONE MINUTE.
ALEX, I'M SORRY,
BUT SHE HAS LIED TO US
FROM THE MOMENT WE MET HER.
SHE'S IN DANGER, MARK.
SHE'S SCARED.
SHE DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT.
I TOLD HER
SHE SHOULD STAY HERE
AND HELP THE POLICE
ANY WAY SHE CAN...
SHE DOESN'T EVEN WANT
TO TALK TO THEM.
BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WHO TO TRUST.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
I CAN HELP HER WITH THAT, ALEX.
I MEAN, IF SHE WANTS TO GO,
IT'S HER DECISION.
HE'S RIGHT.
IT'S MY DECISION.
AMY, IF YOU LEAVE HERE
THEY WILL FIND YOU
AND THEY'RE GOING TO KILL YOU
JUST LIKE THEY DID
YOUR ROOMMATE
AND JUST LIKE THEY DID
THE OTHER WOMAN.
LOOK, IF YOU HADN'T SEEN
THAT GUY IN HIS CAR
HE WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED YOU
TO ME RIGHT HERE.
THEN YOU CAN STAY AT
MY PLACE, ALL RIGHT?
I'LL TALK TO MY...
NO, ALEX.
LOOK, IF SHE LEAVES
HERE TOMORROW
AND WE DON'T TRY
TO STOP HER AND
SHE GETS KILLED
HOW YOU GOING
TO FEEL?
ALEX...
I'M GOING TO GO HOME.
NOBODY THERE KNOWS
WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING HERE.
AMY...
IT'LL BE FINE.
NOBODY BUT YOU WILL KNOW
WHERE I AM.
I'LL BE SAFE.
YOU'LL SEE.
THANKS AGAIN.
LAST CHANCE.
I REALLY DON'T MIND
DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT.
THIS IS FINE.
YOU'VE ALREADY DONE MORE
THAN I DESERVE.
BYE.
STEVE, IT'S ME.
I TAKE IT THIS IS
WHAT THE KILLER'S
BEEN LOOKING FOR.
I... I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S CLARISSA OAKES' MONEY.
YOU KNOW THAT MUCH, DON'T YOU?
YOU JUST STAYED AT MY HOUSE
OVER THE WEEKEND
UNTIL THE BANK OPENED TODAY,
DIDN'T YOU?
PLEASE. THIS ISN'T
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
OKAY, IF IT'S NOT WHAT
IT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT IS IT, THEN?
CLARISSA SAID THAT IF ANYTHING
EVER HAPPENED TO HER
SHE WANTED ME
TO HAVE THIS MONEY.
NOW, WHY WOULD SHE SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER... SHANNON.
SHE'S THE REASON I LEFT HOME
WHEN I DID.
I WAS PREGNANT, AND...
HER FATHER DIDN'T WANT
TO MARRY ME.
EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE
THESE PAST FEW YEARS...
IT'S... IT'S ALL BEEN
TO SUPPORT HER.
WELL, THAT STILL
DOESN'T EXPLAIN
WHY CLARISSA OAKES WANTED
TO GIVE YOU THE MONEY.
CLARISSA WAS HER GODMOTHER.
SHE WAS
SO PROUD OF HER.
SO AM I.
THE MONEY WOULD HAVE MEANT THAT
I COULD GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS
BUT SHANNON COULD STILL
GO TO GOOD SCHOOLS
ALL THE WAY TO COLLEGE.
WELL, NOW YOU GOT A CHOICE.
YOU CAN EITHER GO
TO JAIL WITH ME
OR COME BACK TO THE HOUSE
WITH MY FATHER.
MADISON...
OH, EXCUSE ME.
HERE'S THOSE TEST SCORES.
THANKS, MARK.
UM, BRETT, THIS IS
DETECTIVE SLOAN'S FATHER,
MARK SLOAN.
MARK, THIS IS
BRETT HAYWARD.
YEAH, I'M, UH
I'M THE FELLOW THAT
WAS STALKING HER.
DON'T LOOK
SO SHOCKED.
IT WAS ALL A BIG MISTAKE.
OH. WELL, IT'S
NICE TO MEET YOU
MR. HAYWARD.
JUST HOW DID, UH...
WELL, NO
HE REALLY WAS ON HIS WAY
TO A RESTAURANT IN MALIBU.
Mark:
OH, I THOUGHT
THE BARTENDER
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU.
OH, HE WAS
A SUBSTITUTE BARTENDER
THAT NIGHT, YEAH.
AND THE REGULAR
BARTENDER
RECOGNIZED HIM RIGHT AWAY.
OH.
SURE DID.
AS I SAID BEFORE,
I'M... TERRIBLY SORRY I...
HEY, COME ON, DON'T APOLOGIZE.
IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE...
BUT WITH, UH
DELIGHTFUL
CONSEQUENCES.
LISTEN, I GOT TO GO.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT,
7:00?
YOU BET.
DR. SLOAN.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
PLEASURE.
Madison:
PRETTY CHARMING, HUH?
MMM. UH... YOU'RE SEEING
HIM TOMORROW NIGHT, EH?
YEAH, DINNER. MY TREAT.
LEAST I COULD DO.
I'LL CATCH UP
WITH YOU.
OKAY.
MARK, HAVE YOU SEEN JESSE?
NO, IT'S HIS DAY OFF.
HE'S ON ONE OF THOSE, UH
RIDE-ALONG THINGS.
MMM.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THAT COP PATTY'S GOING
TO PLAY A JOKE ON HIM.
OH, YEAH, UH, STEVE TOLD ME.
YOU KNOW, AFTER WE
TALKED ABOUT IT
HE, UH, HE ASKED THEM
TO CALL IT OFF.
WELL, I WISH
I'D HAVE KNOWN THAT.
I NEVER WOULD HAVE WARNED HIM.
HE WAS SO UPSET.
I THINK HE LIKES
THAT POLICEWOMAN.
YEAH?
WELL... NO HARM DONE.
JESSE, GET BACK!
GET DOWN!
HEY, GUYS,
DON'T STOP ON MY ACCOUNT.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU WENT
THROUGH ALL
THIS TROUBLE.
HEY... THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD...
LOOKED REAL
AND I'M A DOCTOR.
I KNOW WHAT REAL
LOOKS LIKE
AND THAT WAS PRETTY DARN CLOSE.
JESSE, GET BACK
TO THE CAR.
THAT WAS A LITTLE PHONY.
I WOULDN'T QUIT
YOUR DAY JOB.
YOU IDIOT
GET DOWN!
Jesse:
OKAY, THAT'S
ENOUGH, BUDDY.
WE'VE ALL HAD OUR FUN AND GAMES.
HE WENT THAT WAY.
HEY, YOU BIG
BRAVE GUY.
YOU'RE GOING
TO BE OKAY.
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU'RE GOING
TO BE OKAY.
YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.
OKAY.
WELL, THIS CAN'T
BE RIGHT.
WELL, THIS IS
THE ADDRESS WE GOT.
CAN I HELP YOU?
UH, WE'RE LOOKING
FOR A BOBBY BAKER.
REVEREND BOBBY
BAKER, THAT'S ME.
OH, WELL, THIS IS
PROBABLY A MISTAKE.
WE GOT YOUR NAME
FROM...
UH... IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT SOME FORMER CLIENTS
OF A... CALL-GIRL RING
ARE BEING, UH,
BLACKMAILED.
WE GOT A NAME
FROM ONE OF THE GIRLS.
IT'S PROBABLY A MIX-UP.
ONE OF CLARISSA OAKES'S GIRLS?
WELL, YES.
THE LORD DOES WORK
IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.
THAT WAS THE BEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
WELL, I WASN'T ALWAYS
A MINISTER.
IN FACT, UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO
I WAS A TERRIBLE SINNER.
IT WASN'T TILL
I WENT TO PRISON
THAT I FOUND GOD...
OR MAYBE MORE TRUTHFULLY
IT WAS IN PRISON
THAT GOD FOUND ME
AND IT WAS CLARISSA OAKES
WHO PUT ME THERE.
I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND.
I ALWAYS SUSPECTED
CLARISSA RATTED ME OUT.
I TOLD ONE OF HER GIRLS
ABOUT A ROBBERY I PULLED.
SHE TOLD CLARISSA
AND CLARISSA TOLD HER TAME COP.
CLARISSA OAKES HAS A COP
ON THE TAKE?
YOU'RE SAYING YOU NEVER HEARD
OF THAT?
HOW DO YOU THINK SHE STAYS
IN BUSINESS?
I'M FEEDING 30 HOMELESS TONIGHT
AND I'M STILL $10 SHORT
IF YOU'D CARE
TO MAKE A DONATION.
WELL, OF COURSE.
COULD YOU TELL ME...
WHO WAS THE POLICE OFFICER?
Amy:
OKAY.
I GOT IT.
I'LL BE THERE.
WHAT IS IT?
THAT WAS THE COP
FROM STEVE'S PRECINCT.
HE SAID STEVE WANTS TO MEET ME
AT THE NORTH END OF ZUMA BEACH.
SOME GUY'S KILLED
TWO PEOPLE ALREADY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT WAS A COP
ON THE PHONE?
CARDINAL HERE.
Amy:
Hi.
IT'S AMY.
I THOUGHT I SHOULD
JUST CALL YOU BACK
TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE
WHO YOU SAID YOU WERE.
WELL, THAT WAS VERY SMART.
I WISH EVERYBODY WAS
AS CAUTIOUS AS YOU.
WELL, THANKS.
THANK YOU.
IT'S HIM.
YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO COME WITH YOU?
THE COP SAID STEVE
WANTS ME TO COME ALONE.
I'LL BE OKAY.
SLOAN RESIDENCE.
STEVE?
DROP THE RIFLE
DETECTIVE, AND DON'T MOVE.
YOU'RE NOT WEARING KEVLAR.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
I'M PUTTING THE RIFLE DOWN.
ALL RIGHT,
JUST STAY...
JUST STAY CALM,
THAT'S ALL.
GIVE IT UP,
CARDINAL.
IT'S OVER.
GET UP.
I KNOW WHY
YOU KILLED
CLARISSA AND JOYCE.
THEY KNEW WHO YOU WERE.
THEY MIGHT'VE MESSED UP
YOUR BIG PROMOTION.
GO TO HELL.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS
WHY YOU TRIED
TO KILL AMY SAROYAN.
LIKE I SAID, GO TO HELL.
I'M NOT TALKING
TILL I SEE A LAWYER.
ALEX...
WELL, HE HASN'T CONFESSED YET,
BUT, UH...
WH-WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE ANYMORE.
OH, COME ON, ALEX.
DON'T BE SUCH AN IDIOT.
I HAVE TO GET
OUT OF HERE
BEFORE YOUR FRIEND THE COP
AND HIS DAD GET BACK.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IS THIS...
CLARISSA'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK.
ALL OF HER CLIENTS ARE
IN THERE
INCLUDING HER SILENT PARTNER,
SOMEONE WITH THE INITIALS
"R.C."
ROBERT CARDINAL.
DUMMY ME...
I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE
THE CONNECTION.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO THIS.
IF YOU GIVE
IT TO STEVE...
GIVE IT TO THE POLICE?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
SOME OF THE NAMES IN THIS THING?
BOYLE MAY HAVE PREFERRED
TO GO PUBLIC
BUT WITH MOST OF THESE GUYS,
THERE'S A FORTUNE TO BE MADE.
DON'T TAKE IT
PERSONALLY, ALEX.
I REALLY LIKE
YOU... A LOT.
IN FACT, IF
YOU'D BE WILLING
TO CHUCK THIS WHOLE
MEDICAL SCHOOL THING
AND COME WITH ME...
YOU KNOW WHAT, AMY?
THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A GREAT IDEA.
WE CAN GO OFF
AND WE CAN GO TO THE CARIBBEAN
AND WE CAN GO
TO EUROPE
AND WE CAN LIVE
LIKE ROYALTY...
UNTIL THE MONEY RUNS OUT.
THEN, WHAT?
AMY...
YOUR FRIENDS WERE RIGHT.
YOU ARE A REAL STRAIGHT ARROW...
AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.
IT WAS GREAT SEEING YOU.
LET'S DO IT AGAIN
IN, LIKE, 40 OR 50 YEARS.
Mark:
YOU WEREN'T PLANNING
ON LEAVING
WITHOUT SHANNON,
WERE YOU?
MY NAME'S NOT SHANNON.
IT'S ANGELA.
I KNOW IT'S NOT, HONEY.
WHY DON'T YOU
GO SEE YOUR MOTHER?
DR. SLOAN, I...
DON'T START, AMY.
I NEVER BELIEVED YOU,
NOT FOR A MINUTE.
AMY SAROYAN...
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST...
GET OFF ME.
FOR THE ATTEMPTED EXTORTION
OF COUNCILMAN THOMAS BOYLE.
GET OFF ME.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
GET OFF. OW.
YOU'RE... YOU'RE
BEING SILLY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU
WHO KEEP PEOPLE LIKE ME
FROM GETTING
THEIR PAPERWORK DONE.
YEAH, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I APOLOGIZE.
HMM?
NO, DON'T.
YOU'RE JUST WHAT
THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
YEAH?
YEAH, A REMINDER
THAT THERE'S MORE TO
LIFE THAN PAPERWORK.
OH, YEAH,
WHOLE LOT MORE.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT WAS JUST A MONTH AGO
I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW YOU EXISTED.
YEAH, WELL,
I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT WAS JUST LESS
THAN THREE WEEKS AGO
THAT I HAD YOU ARRESTED.
IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY.
YEAH.
HUH?
LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHILE YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PLANS.
MM-HMM. IT HAS BEEN A
WHIRLWIND, HASN'T IT?
MM-HMM.
UH, WAIT-WAIT
A MINUTE. WAIT.
ARE YOU...
ARE YOU SURE
THAT YOU WANT ME
TO MOVE IN WITH YOU?
COME ON.
I'M POSITIVE.
OKAY.
AW, COME ON.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN...
YOU CAN'T POSTPONE
THE INEVITABLE.
OTHERWISE, THE LITTLE SCAMPS
START MULTIPLYING ON THEIR OWN.
NOW, I THOUGHT YOU HAD
A BUSINESS MEETING, TOO.
OH, YEAH.
UH, YEAH, UH...
ONE FOR THE ROAD.
NO, YOU'RE FORGETTING...
I'LL SEE YOU.
IT'S ONE FOR YOUR BABY,
AND ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD.
YES?
Brett:
DR. HJORTSBERG?
YES.
IT'S ME, EDDIE DAGABOSIAN.
EDDIE... IS ANYTHING THE MATTER?
NO, NO, I, UH...
SORRY ABOUT BARGING IN
ON YOU LIKE THIS
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME
TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
I KNEW YOU WORK
LATE ON THURSDAYS.
THOUGHT I'D STOP IN
FOR A QUICK CHECKUP.
OH. WELL,
AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE ALREADY
I'LL GIVE YOU A LOOK.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
I WAS, UH...
YEAH, I WAS, UH, SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU THE OTHER NIGHT
WITH MY OLD FRIEND,
DR. WESLEY.
I THOUGHT YOU
MIGHT'VE SPOTTED US.
MM-HMM.
ARE YOU TWO, UH,
AN ITEM, AS THEY SAY?
MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
AH.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.
UH-HUH...
OH, YEAH, THIS IS LOOKING
VERY, VERY GOOD.
WELL, IT'S THANKS
TO YOU, DOC.
I EXPECT
I'LL BE SEEING HER
TOMORROW MORNING
AT COMMUNITY GENERAL.
SHE'S A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
YOU'RE LUCKY.
YOU KNOW, UH, AFTER THE
ACCIDENT, THE WAY I LOOKED
I-I THOUGHT THAT SUICIDE
WAS MY ONLY OPTION.
WELL, I'M GLAD
YOU CAME TO YOUR SENSES.
AS THEY SAY, IN MOST CASES
"SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION
TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM," HMM?
YEAH, BUT...
THINKING THAT A BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN LIKE MADISON
COULD EVER FALL
IN LOVE WITH ME.
THAT WAS AN
IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.
YOU... YOU ARE A
MIRACLE WORKER, DOC.
WELL... WELL, AS LONG
AS YOU'RE HANDING OUT KUDOS,
EDDIE
KEEP SOME FOR YOURSELF,
'CAUSE YOU'RE A DREAM PATIENT.
THE FASTEST, MOST COMPLETE
RECOVERY I HAVE SEEN
IN 30 YEARS
OF PRACTICE.
IS THAT MY FILE?
YEAH, MM-HMM.
OH.
ALL RIGHT,
NOW COMES MY FAVORITE PART
THE TAKING OF THE, UH,
AFTER PHOTO.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE NEEDING THAT.
WHA...
HERE.
UH, WHO'S THIS?
THAT'S EDDIE DAGABOSIAN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WELL, Y-YOU REALLY
DON'T NEED TO.
I PROMISE YOU, DOC...
I'M YOUR MOST GRATEFUL PATIENT
EVER.
MA'AM, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO STAY WITH THE NURSE.
P.A. system:
Ordering med student
Alex Martin to the E.R.
Dr. Alex Martin to the E.R.
WHAT DO YOU GOT?
26-YEAR-OLD FEMALE,
NAME'S JOYCE DePARMA.
TWO OBVIOUS G.S.W.,
RIGHT CHEST.
RESPIRATORY RATE
IS 58 AND SHALLOW.
80/50.
TRACHEA IS DEVIATED.
WE'VE GOT A TENSION PNEUMO.
SET HER FOR CHEST TUBE.
I WANT A TRAUMA PANEL
AND STAT CHEST FILM.
DON'T WORRY, MS. DePARMA.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
VERY GOOD CARE OF YOU.
I GOT THE CALL.
YOU NEED ME?
YEAH, ALEX. SCRUB UP
AND MEET ME
BACK HERE.
ALEX, DID YOU
HEAR ME?
UH, YEAH, SCRUB UP
AND MEET YOU BACK HERE.
UH, THE GIRL
WHO WAS JUST STANDING HERE...
DID ANYBODY GET HER NAME?
SHE WAS STANDING
RIGHT HERE.
SORRY.
SHE HAD NEVER REGAINED
CONSCIOUSNESS?
WITH AS MUCH BLOOD
AS SHE LOST
IT'S A MIRACLE SHE STAYED ALIVE
AS LONG AS SHE DID.
THE WOMAN WHO BROUGHT HER IN?
SHE SAID HER CAR PULLED UP
NEXT TO THEM. TINTED WINDOWS.
SHE DIDN'T PAY ANY ATTENTION
UNTIL AFTER HER FRIEND WAS SHOT
AND THE SHOOTER
HAD PULLED AWAY.
OH. THANK YOU.
YOU MAKE YOUR
CALL, ALEX?
YEAH.
HER MOTHER SAID
THAT AMY LEFT HOME THE YEAR
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
AMY?
THE GIRL WHO CAME IN
WITH THE PATIENT...
HER NAME IS AMY SAROYAN.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
IN SIX OR SEVEN YEARS
BUT I'D SWEAR
IT WAS HER.
DID HER MOTHER SAY
SHE MOVED TO LOS ANGELES?
SHE SAID
THAT AFTER SHE LEFT HOME
SHE STOPPED CALLING,
STOPPED WRITING...
JUST DROPPED OFF
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
I GUESS MRS. SAROYAN'S
NEVER GOTTEN OVER IT.
SO YOU'RE NOT SURE
THE GIRL YOU SAW HERE
WAS YOUR FRIEND OR NOT?
LOOK, I'M TELLING YOU,
IF THAT WASN'T AMY
IT WAS SOMEBODY
WHO LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HER.
OKAY, THIS IS GOING
TO STING A LITTLE BIT.
OW.
THE DOG THAT BIT YOU...
THEY PICKED IT UP?
YEAH, THEY BROUGHT IT
TO THE POUND
TO MAKE SURE
IT DOESN'T HAVE RABIES.
I'M SURE IT'S OKAY.
I'M SURE YOU GET ASKED THIS
A LOT...
OH, DON'T.
DON'T WHAT?
"A LITTLE SLIP
OF A GIRL LIKE YOU...
AREN'T YOU AFRAID,
BEING A COP?"
I WASN'T GOING
TO ASK THAT.
NO?
NOT EXACTLY.
I WAS GOING TO ASK
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE
TO BECOME A COP.
I NEEDED A JOB.
YOU NEEDED A JOB?
YOU COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING.
I MEAN, YOU COULD
HAVE, UH, BEEN A...
UH, A SECRETARY?
A SCHOOL TEACHER?
HOW ABOUT A STEWARDESS?
OR MAYBE A WAITRESS?
I WASN'T EVEN THINKING
ALONG THOSE LINES.
I WAS THINKING A BUSINESSWOMAN
OR A SCIENTIST...
I WANTED ADVENTURE, EXCITEMENT.
A LION TAMER?
IT'S A TWO-BEDROOM,
BUT THE LEASE IS
ONLY IN ONE NAME.
JOYCE DePARMA.
SHE HAVE A ROOMMATE?
PEOPLE COME AND GO.
YOU CAN ASK
THE NEIGHBORS.
THIS PLACE WAS TRASHED
PRETTY GOOD.
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE
HEARD SOMETHING.
BUT I GOT TO WARN YOU,
PEOPLE AROUND HERE
PRETTY MUCH MIND
THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
MOST LIKELY THERE WERE
TWO PEOPLE LIVING HERE.
ONE SHAMPOO FOR OILY HAIR,
ONE SHAMPOO FOR DRY
AND TWO DIFFERENT
KINDS OF CONDITIONERS.
IT MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN ALEX'S FRIEND
BUT I THINK THERE WERE
TWO PEOPLE LIVING HERE.
MM-HMM. TERESA,
SEE IF YOU CAN LIFT
SOME PRINTS
OFF THIS BOTTLES.
MAYBE WE CAN GET
A DEFINITE IDEA
ON LITTLE MISS WASN'T-HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU'RE GOING ON A RIDE-ALONG?
EVERY TIME I ASKED YOU,
YOU WERE ALWAYS TOO BUSY.
STEVE, YOU'RE A DETECTIVE.
YOU ARRIVE ON THE SCENE
AFTER THE FACT.
JESSE TRAVIS IS AN
ACTION KIND OF GUY.
I WANT TO BE OUT
THERE ON THE STREETS
MIXING IT UP, YOU KNOW?
I WANT TO BE WITH THE UNIFORMS
ON THE FRONTLINE
FIGHTING CRIME.
MOVE YOUR BUTT, DOC.
I'M LEAVING.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
PLUS, SHE'S MUCH CUTER
THAN I AM.
OH, YEAH.
THERE YOU GO.
GO GET 'EM, ACTION-JESS.
CAPTAIN CARDINAL, YOU
JUST STRAIGHTENING
MY PAPERS FOR ME
OR IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
OH, THANKS FOR THE PROMOTION
BUT IT'S NOT OFFICIAL
TILL NEXT WEEK.
WELL, OUR LOSS
IS TELEVISION'S GAIN.
I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE
A FINE PUBLIC
INFORMATION OFFICER.
UNLESS YOU'RE PLANNING
A NEWS BROADCAST AT MY DESK
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU KEEPING
YOUR HANDS OFF OF IT.
I WAS JUST LOOKING
FOR THE JOYCE DePARMA FILE.
SEE, I FOUND OUT THAT
SHE WAS A HIGH-CLASS CALL GIRL
AND I WANTED TO KNOW
IF YOU DISCOVERED THAT YET.
WHAT ELSE
DID YOUR PEOPLE TELL YOU?
WANT ME TO DO
YOUR ENTIRE JOB FOR YOU?
ALL RIGHT,
CARDINAL.
YOU'RE RIGHT. THANKS.
CHEER UP.
WITH ANY LUCK, IN ANOTHER WEEK
OR TWO, NEITHER ONE OF US
WILL HAVE TO PUT UP
WITH THE OTHER ONE ANYMORE.
STAY IN THE CAR.
STAY IN THE CAR.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
BREAK IT UP.
I SAID, BREAK IT UP!
LET'S GO! COME ON!
THIS IS A
PRIVATE PROBLEM.
LOOKS PRETTY PUBLIC
TO ME.
ANYBODY WANT TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
I THINK YOU
SHOULD BUTT OUT.
NO NEED FOR THAT. JUST WANT
TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
HEY, OFFICER,
WE CAN SETTLE THIS OURSELVES.
HEY, IT'S MY JOB, GUYS.
PATTY, YOU NEED
ANY HELP...?
JUST GET IN THE CAR.
JUST WANT TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS, OKAY?
YOU GOING TO ARREST US?
THINK THAT'S NECESSARY?
JUST TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU GOING TO MAKE US?
SURE YOU DON'T NEED HELP?
JUST GET IN THE CAR.
YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP
AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO REBUILD THAT KNEE
OUT OF SPARE PARTS.
SO YOU PREFER TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM HERE
OR DOWN AT THE STATION?
CLARISSA?
YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW THOSE PURSES
THAT WE HAVE?
I TOOK YOURS BY MISTAKE, AND...
CLARISSA...
OH, GOD.
GIVE ME THE BOOK.
I-I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SHE SAID THE BOOK
IS IN THE PURSE, AND I WANT IT.
Amy:
WHAT BOOK?
STAY AWAY FROM ME.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN PURSE.
I NEED TO SPEAK
TO ALEX MARTIN.
I KNOW HE WORKS HERE.
I SAW HIM THE OTHER DAY.
OK, I'LL PAGE HIM FOR YOU.
PLEASE. IT'S IMPORTANT. I...
AMY!
OH, GOD, ALEX,
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME.
I'M IN REALLY BIG TROUBLE.
WHY DID YOU RUN
WHEN I SAW YOU THE OTHER NIGHT?
THE TRUTH?
I KNEW THAT JOYCE WAS
INTO SOMETHING BAD
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS ABOUT HER.
BESIDES, I
WAS AFRAID
THAT IF THE KILLER
THOUGHT I SAW HIM
HE'D COME BACK
AND KILL ME, TOO.
I JUST PANICKED.
I WAS SOMEWHERE OF
THE MOJAVE DESERT
WHEN I FINALLY
CAME TO MY SENSES.
UH, COULD YOU GIVE US
A MOMENT, PLEASE?
SURE.
ALEX?
EVEN BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
YOU WERE ALWAYS SOMEONE
THAT WAS GROUNDED, SANE.
YOU ALWAYS KNEW
WHAT TO DO.
I TOLD YOU BEFORE,
YOU SHOULD GO TO THE POLICE.
NO, I CAN'T GO
TO THE POLICE.
THEN IT'LL BE
IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
THE KILLER WILL KNOW
WHO I AM FOR SURE.
AMY, THE POLICE
CAN PROTECT YOU.
NO. NO POLICE.
WELL, MAYBE WE CAN
SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE.
WHAT IF IT'S UNOFFICIAL?
Steve:
WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY
AND LET US QUESTION YOU?
SHE WAS SCARED, STEVE.
Mark:
OF THE POLICE?
OF... WHATEVER JOYCE
IS INVOLVED IN.
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS
A TRUST FUND BABY
BUT I KNEW BETTER.
YOU SUSPECTED
HER REAL PROFESSION?
I'M NOT COMPLETELY NAIVE.
UH...
I, UH, HAVE TO ASK
YOU THIS. UM...
WAS I IN THE SAME BUSINESS
AS JOYCE?
NO.
NEVER.
I'M AN ACTRESS.
WOULD WE HAVE SEEN YOU
IN ANYTHING?
I'VE BEEN IN A FEW COMMERCIALS,
SOME SOAPS.
WHAT? DO YOU NEED
TO SEE MY CREDITS?
NO. THAT'S ALL RIGHT FOR NOW.
GET SOME REST.
Mark:
ALEX, YOU
KNOW WHERE
THE GUEST ROOM IS.
WHY DON'T YOU GET
AMY SETTLED?
YEAH, RIGHT.
THANK YOU, DR. SLOAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DO YOU BELIEVE HER STORY?
ALEX BELIEVES HER.
HARRY, COULD YOU GET
SOMEONE IN FORENSICS
TO LIFT THE PRINTS
OFF THIS GLASS
AND RUN THEM FOR ME?
THANKS.
HEY, GOT A MINUTE?
FOR YOU? ALWAYS.
WHAT'S THE CITY COUNCILMAN
DOING HERE?
OH, COUNCILMAN BOYLE?
SOMEBODY'S TRYING
TO BLACKMAIL HIM.
APPARENTLY, HE'S SPENT
A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY
ON HIGH-CLASS
CALL GIRLS.
HE DECIDED TO COME CLEAN
RATHER THAN PAY HIS BLACKMAIL.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
AN HONEST POLITICIAN.
HMM, OR A CHEAP ONE.
OH, SUCH CYNICISM
FOR ONE SO YOUNG.
SO HOW ARE THE RIDE-ALONGS
WITH JESSE COMING?
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
HE'S A FRIEND OF YOURS, RIGHT?
TRUE. IS THERE A PROBLEM?
NO, BUT SOME
OF THE GUYS
WANT TO PLAY A TRICK ON HIM
AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
IT WAS OKAY WITH YOU.
WHAT KIND OF TRICK?
SLOAN, WE NEED TO TALK.
UH-OH. HOTSHOT WANTS YOU.
HE CAN WAIT.
OH, SO CAN THIS.
I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT
LATER, OKAY?
A LITTLE INTRA-DEPARTMENTAL
FRATERNIZATION?
WHAT DO YOU WANT,
CARDINAL?
CAUGHT A HOMICIDE
YESTERDAY.
WOMAN'S NAME... CLARISSA OAKES.
THE MALIBU MADAM?
THE ONE AND ONLY.
NOW, ONE NEIGHBOR SAID
THAT HE HEARD A SHOT
AND THEN SAW SOME GUY
IN A SKI MASK
RUNNING AWAY.
AND?
WELL, JOYCE DePARMA'S
ONE OF HER GIRLS.
THAT'S KIND OF A LEAP, ISN'T IT?
NOT ACCORDING TO MY SOURCES, NO.
I THOUGHT WE PUT CLARISSA
OUT OF BUSINESS.
WELL, SHE WAS BACK,
ACCORDING TO MY SOURCES.
JUST WHERE THE HELL
DO YOU FIND THESE SOURCES?
YOU'RE TOO NICE A GUY, SLOAN.
I KNOW HOW TO SQUEEZE.
I JUST THINK WE SHOULD POOL
OUR INFORMATION
AND INVESTIGATION.
YOU WANT TO TAKE MY CASE.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
NO, I JUST THINK
IF WE FIND A LINK
WE SHOULD WORK IT TOGETHER.
YOU'RE THE RANKING DETECTIVE.
I'D BE WORKING FOR YOU.
IN NAME ONLY.
ON THE OTHER HAND,
IF THERE IS A CONNECTION,
I CAUGHT THE FIRST CASE.
DEPARTMENTAL POLICY SAYS
I GET EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS.
UNLESS I GO TO THE CAPTAIN
AND ASK FOR IT ALL MYSELF.
YOU DO THAT, YOU'RE IN
FOR THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE.
MR. SLOAN
I PLAY THE GAME BETTER THAN YOU.
THAT'S WHY I'M GETTING PROMOTED
AND YOU'RE STUCK HERE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FILE.
IF YOU'RE SMART,
WE'LL WORK IT TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT
I REMEMBER BEST
ABOUT YOU?
THE CRAZY THINGS
YOU TALKED ME INTO.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I NEVER DID ANYTHING CRAZY.
ON, NO?
AND WHAT ABOUT THE TIME
WE SNUCK INTO THE CARNIVAL
AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING?
THE WATCHMAN
ALMOST CAUGHT US?
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT
THAT WAS FUN.
ALMOST HAD
A HEART ATTACK.
THE GUY ALMOST
STEPPED ON US.
AND HE WOULD HAVE
CAUGHT US, TOO
IF YOU HADN'T PUT
YOUR HAND OVER MY MOUTH
AND STOPPED ME
FROM LAUGHING.
YOU SAVED ME.
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY
BRINGING ME HERE
THE WAY YOU DID.
YOU SAVED ME AGAIN.
WELL, IT WAS THE ONLY
PLACE I COULD THINK OF.
STEVE AND DR. SLOAN
ARE GOOD PEOPLE.
I KNOW.
SO ARE YOU.
Alex:
STEVE, HAVE YOU SEEN MY...?
HERE IT IS.
UH, LISTEN, ALEX
I KNOW IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS, BUT...
WHAT?
WELL, I COULDN'T HELP
BUT SEEING YOU AND AMY
OUT THERE EARLIER.
YEAH?
I'M SURE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT
SHE'S A VERY NICE GIRL, BUT...
BUT YOU DON'T LIKE HER.
I DON'T KNOW
IF I LIKE HER OR NOT.
I JUST KNOW HER STORY IS...
ALL I'M SAYING, ALEX, IS
UNTIL WE GET THIS THING
CHECKED OUT
MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO SLOW.
"GO SLOW"? STEVE, I'VE KNOWN AMY
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING
ABOUT HER LIFE OUT HERE.
BUT I KNOW HER.
LOOK, STEVE,
I'M NOT A CHILD, OKAY?
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
STEVE
ALEX...
IF SHE'S IN TROUBLE,
THEN I WANT TO HELP HER.
I THOUGHT YOU WOULD
CUT HER SOME SLACK.
ALEX, I'M TRYING.
YEAH. WELL, I GOT
TO GET BACK TO MY SHIFT.
Jesse:
MAN, I'M TELLING YOU
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER.
THESE TWO GUYS
WERE DUKING IT OUT
LIKE HOLYFIELD AND TYSON
AND SHE WADES IN THERE
LIKE A PRINCIPAL
AT A GRADE SCHOOL FIGHT.
BEFORE IT WAS ALL OVER
THEY WERE SHAKING
HANDS AND APOLOGIZING
TO EACH OTHER.
WOW, THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
"IMPRESSIVE"?
SHE SHOULD WORK FOR
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
MAYBE SHE ENJOYS
BEING A POLICEWOMAN.
YEAH, SHE DOES.
I'M JUST AMAZED
SOMEONE SO SMALL
COULD BE SO
EFFECTIVE AS A COP.
WELL, MAYBE LIKE
A LOT OF WOMEN
SHE'S JUST LEARNED
HOW TO USE DIFFERENT WEAPONS.
MADISON, MAY I HAVE
A WORD WITH YOU?
OF COURSE.
I'D LIKE TO GO
OVER THE NEXT ROTATION
OF STUDENTS.
SURE. OH, THIS IS
DR. HJORTSBERG.
DR. HJORTSBERG,
AMANDA BENTLEY,
JESSE TRAVIS.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'VE HEARD
A LOT ABOUT YOU.
LIKEWISE.
IT'S NICE
TO PUT A FACE
WITH THE NAME.
DR. TRAVIS.
MADISON, I'VE GOT TO RUN.
I'M MEETING A PATIENT
AT THE BEVERLY HILLS OFFICE
AND I KNOW I'M GOING
TO BE LATE
SO WE'LL TALK SOON.
WE CERTAINLY WILL. BYE.
DOCTORS.
Jesse:
ISN'T THAT THE GUY
THEY CALL "THE PLASTIC SURGEON
TO THE STARS"?
HE HATES THAT TITLE.
APPARENTLY, IT'S WELL DESERVED.
NO APPARENTLY ABOUT IT.
THE GUY HAS WORKED ON 100'S OF
PEOPLE, IN FACT
YOU KNOW WHO
HE WORKED ON YESTERDAY?
- JESSE...
- WHO?
I NEVER TOOK YOU TO BE A GOSSIP.
IT'S NOT GOSSIP, IT'S NEWS.
I SAW IT ON E! ENTERTAINMENT.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
IT'S HEALING VERY WELL.
IT'S A MIRACLE.
I HAVE TO ADMIT
IT'S THE MOST COMPLETE
RECONSTRUCTION I'VE EVER DONE
BUT I'M VERY PLEASED
WITH THE RESULTS.
I DON'T THINK MY OWN MOTHER
WOULD EVEN RECOGNIZE ME.
I JUST GAVE YOU
WHAT YOU WANTED.
DOCTOR, YOU GAVE ME
EXACTLY
WHAT I WANTED.
Alex:
NO, NO, DON'T MOVE.
I'LL GET THE WATER
AND BE RIGHT BACK.
DR. SLOAN.
WHERE'S AMY?
I THINK SHE'S EMBARRASSED.
ALEX, IT ISN'T MY BUSINESS
TO DICTATE YOUR MORALITY
BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE...
I KNOW, SIR.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE'VE ABUSED YOUR HOSPITALITY.
YOU'VE BEEN GOOD TO ME
ALL THE THROUGH MEDICAL SCHOOL
NOW TAKING AMY IN LIKE THIS...
I APOLOGIZE.
ME, TOO.
IT WAS ALL MY FAULT.
NO...
IF YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE,
I'LL GO.
I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU.
I'LL JUST... I'LL FIND
SOMEPLACE ELSE TO GO.
Steve:
DAD?
IN HERE, STEVE.
IS AMY...?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I TOOK THE FINGERPRINTS
OFF OF AMY'S BREAKFAST
GLASS YESTERDAY.
YOU TOOK HER
FINGERPRINTS?
LET ME FINISH, ALEX.
I BRING A FRIEND
TO YOUR HOUSE
AND YOU TAKE
HER FINGERPRINTS?
IT WAS A PRECAUTION, ALEX.
WHY?
HER FINGERPRINTS WERE
ALL OVER A MURDER SCENE.
YEAH, HER ROOMMATE'S.
SHE TOLD YOU THAT.
ANOTHER MURDER SCENE, ALEX.
THE APARTMENT
OF A WOMAN
NAMED CLARISSA OAKES.
YOU KNOW WHO
CLARISSA OAKES WAS, ALEX?
WHAT? THE ONE IN THE PAPERS?
"THE MALIBU MADAM"?
YOU WANT TO TELL US
HOW THEY GOT THERE?
I...
YOU WERE THERE
WHEN SHE WAS MURDERED.
NO. I FOUND HER.
I RAN TO ALEX
AND THEN WE CAME HERE.
WHY WERE YOU IN HER APARTMENT?
WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE?
YOU WERE WORKING FOR HER,
WEREN'T YOU?
I...
ALEX...
Amy:
I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
PLEASE JUST LET ME
GO TALK TO HIM.
YOU'RE LIVING
WITH ONE PERSON
THAT GETS MURDERED
THEN YOU GO STAY
WITH ANOTHER ONE
AND SHE GETS MURDERED.
I DIDN'T KILL THEM.
YOU KNOW I DIDN'T.
YOU FLED FROM US,
THEN YOU LIED TO US.
YOU EVEN HAD THE NERVE
TO ASK ALEX TO HAVE US
TAKE YOU IN AND HIDE YOU.
I WAS SCARED.
PLEASE, YOU MUST
BELIEVE ME.
LOOK, I'LL DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
JUST LET ME GO TALK TO HIM
FOR TWO MINUTES.
TWO MINUTES.
STEVE
I DON'T THINK
SHE'S GOING ANYWHERE.
ARE YOU?
NO. I PROMISE.
ALL RIGHT, TWO MINUTES.
BUT IF YOU EVEN LOOK
LIKE YOU'RE GOING
TO TRY SOMETHING FUNNY,
I'LL ARREST YOU
AND HOLD YOU
AS A MATERIAL WITNESS.
THANK YOU.
ALEX...
YOU LIED TO ME.
WHAT I TOLD YOU
WAS TRUE.
I DID COME TO LOS ANGELES
TO BECOME AN ACTRESS.
I HAD A FEW PARTS
AND I MODELED
I WAITRESSED AND I SOLD SHOES.
I DID ALL OF THOSE THINGS
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO
WHILE YOU'RE WAITING
FOR YOUR BREAK
BUT I LOST MY JOB
AND, AND, MY
UNEMPLOYMENT
RAN OUT.
I WAS BROKE AND DESPERATE.
AND THERE WERE
NO OTHER SOLUTIONS?
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?
PLEASE, ALEX?
THESE LAST FEW DAYS
WITH YOU, I...
I HAVEN'T FELT LIKE THAT LOST
DESPERATE PERSON
I'VE BECOME,
YOU KNOW?
I FELT LIKE
I FELT LIKE THE GIRL
I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
YOU KNOW, THE GIRL THAT SNUCK
INTO THE CARNIVAL WITH YOU?
AND I LIKED IT.
I LIKED IT A LOT.
I DON'T BLAME YOU IF YOU NEVER
WANT TO SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.
BUT EVEN IT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS,
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU.
YOU HELPED ME REMEMBER
WHO I REALLY AM.
AMY...
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
THAT I CAN DEAL
WITH THIS, ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T, BUT...
GOD, AMY.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
Amy:
I SAW A MAN
IN A SKI MASK. THAT'S IT.
I TURNED AND RAN
AND I HEARD...
AND THEN HE SHOT CLARISSA.
I JUST KEEP THINKING
IF I HAD, IF I HAD SCREAMED
OR ATTACKED HIM
THEN MAYBE SHE'D STILL BE ALIVE.
TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHAT WAS "SKI MASK" LOOKING FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, CLARISSA WAS BEATEN
BEFORE SHE WAS SHOT.
BADLY BEATEN.
MY GUESS IS
THAT HE WANTED SOMETHING
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE HIM.
NOW, WHAT WOULD THAT BE,
DO YOU THINK?
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?
LIEUTENANT CARDINAL
TRIED TO FIND
CLARISSA'S CLIENT LIST.
DO YOU THINK MAYBE
THE MAN YOU SAW FOUND IT
AND HE'S THE ONE THAT'S TRYING
TO BLACKMAIL COUNCILMAN BOYLE?
I DON'T KNOW. I SWEAR
I DON'T.
THEN LET'S TRY
SOMETHING EASIER.
WHO IS CLARISSA'S PARTNER?
"PARTNER"?
HE WAS A PARTNER
OR A PROTECTOR
OR ENFORCER OF SOME KIND.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT A PARTNER, I SWEAR.
YOU THINK MAYBE
THIS SILENT PARTNER
AND CLARISSA HAD A FALLING OUT
AND HE'S THE ONE
THAT KILLED HER?
I DON'T KNOW!
I DON'T KNOW!
I DON'T KNOW! WHY
WHY AREN'T YOU BELIEVING ME?
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT A SILENT PARTNER!
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY WANTED
OR WHY ANYBODY WOULD HAVE WANTED
TO KILL CLARISSA OR JOYCE!
I GAVE YOU THE NAMES
OF ALL THE OTHER GIRLS
I KNOW THAT WORKED
FOR CLARISSA.
ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?
WHAT'S ALL THIS
ABOUT A "SILENT PARTNER?"
YOU THINK YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE
WITH INFORMANTS?
Alex:
THANKS, YOU GUYS
FOR COMING OUT
TO THE HOUSE WITH ME.
AMY WILL ENJOY
THE COMPANY.
WELL, AN INVITATION
TO HAVE
ALL THE BARBECUE
YOU CAN EAT
IT'S PRETTY HARD
TO TURN DOWN.
I'LL GET PLENTY.
LISTEN, I NEED TO TALK
TO JESSE FOR A MINUTE.
THAT'S FINE.
I'LL JUST SIT
RIGHT HERE.
ALL RIGHT.
JESS, YOU GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH. WHAT'S UP?
YOU KNOW THAT WOMAN
YOU'VE BEEN GOING
ON THOSE RIDE-ALONGS
WITH?
YEAH, PATTY.
YEAH. UM, STEVE TOLD ME
THAT SHE SPOKE
TO HIM ABOUT YOU.
SHE DID?
YEAH. SHE SAID THAT
YOU WERE ACTING LIKE...
UM, WHAT WAS THE PHRASE?
LIKE A HOT DOG.
SHE SAID THAT YOU WERE NOT
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
AND THAT YOU WERE
A LITTLE TOO EAGER
TO RUSH IN AND
HELP HER OUT.
OH YEAH.
YEAH, SO THEY'RE
GOING TO PLAY A JOKE ON YOU.
WHAT KIND OF JOKE?
WELL, A STUPID JOKE.
IN FACT, THE NEXT
TIME YOU GO OUT
THEY'RE GOING TO SIMULATE
A DANGEROUS SITUATION
AND PATTY'S GOING
TO PRETEND TO BE
IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW... I THINK
THAT THEY'RE BETTING
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
FREEZE UP OR FREAK OUT
OR PANIC.
WHATEVER IT IS,
THEY THINK THAT
IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU
DOWN A PEG OR TWO.
PERSONALLY, I THINK
IT'S PATHETIC.
MAYBE IT'S THEIR IDEA
OF COP HUMOR.
YOU LIKE HER A LOT,
DON'T YOU?
YEAH, I DID.
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
ABOUT NOT TELLING YOU
AND THEN I THOUGHT
IT WAS BETTER
THAT YOU JUST KNOW
AHEAD OF TIME.
YEAH... NO... THANKS.
I'M SORRY.
THANK YOU. REALLY.
I'M VERY FLATTERED.
I'M HERE WITH MY FRIENDS.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
THEN SOME OTHER TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME
YOUR PHONE NUMBER...
I'LL MAKE A CALL.
I... I THINK NOT.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
UH... YOU KNOW...
YOU KNOW, IT'S ONLY...
IT'S ONLY DINNER.
YOU KNOW, I SAID
TO YOU BEFORE
I'M VERY FLATTERED,
BUT NO.
OKAY. I'M SORRY IF I
OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.
NO, NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I APOLOGIZE.
IT'S OKAY.
BUT YOU CAN HARDLY BLAME ME
WITH A WOMAN AS BEAUTIFUL
AS YOURSELF.
GO. YEAH.
I'M GOING.
OH, OKAY.
GOOD-BYE, I'M GONE.
MADISON, WHAT WAS
THAT ALL ABOUT?
HE WAS TRYING TO PICK ME UP.
HE WAS CUTE.
YEAH, HE'S CUTE, BUT
I DON'T LET STRANGE MEN
PICK ME UP FROM
BARBECUE RESTAURANTS.
OKAY, LET'S GO, GUYS.
I AM STARVING.
ME, TOO.
SLOAN HERE.
Steve?
MADISON?
HI. LISTEN, WE'RE HEADING OUT
ON THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY
FOR YOUR HOUSE, AND WE THINK
SOMEBODY'S FOLLOWING US.
We're concerned that he's
USING US TO FIND AMY.
WELL, ARE YOU SURE?
TELL HIM ABOUT THE WEIRD GUY AT
BARBECUE BOB'S.
HE PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT
RIGHT BEHIND US
AND I'M PRETTY SURE
HE'S FOLLOWING US.
AND ALSO, STEVE...
I HEARD HIM. WHERE
ARE YOU EXACTLY?
WELL, WE JUST PASSED
THE GETTY MUSEUM.
ALL RIGHT, KEEP DRIVING
ON THE COAST HIGHWAY.
I'LL HAVE A PATROL CAR
PULL HIM OVER.
I'll get there as fast as I can.
GREAT.
LIEUTENANT, HERE IS
HIS IDENTIFICATION.
BRETT HAYWARD?
YEAH. YOU GUYS MIND TELLING ME
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
MR. HAYWARD, YOU MIND
TELLING
ME
WHY YOU WERE FOLLOWING
THESE PEOPLE?
I WASN'T FOLLOWING...
I WASN'T FOLLOWING ANYBODY.
I WAS GOING TO MALIBU.
THIS IS STILL THE ROAD
TO MALIBU, ISN'T IT?
AND WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING
ON DOING IN MALIBU?
WELL, IF IT'S
ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS
I WAS GOING TO
THE BLUE PELICAN.
WHY WOULD YOU GO
TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT
WHEN YOU JUST LEFT ONE?
BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE THE MENU.
LOOK, UNLESS SOMEBODY'S
REPEALED THE BILL OF RIGHTS
THIS IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY,
RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
HAVE TO TELL
ANYBODY WHERE I'M GOING
OR WHAT I'M DOING.
LIEUTENANT, HE TOLD US THERE'S
A BARTENDER
AT THE BLUE PELICAN
WHO CAN I.D. HIM.
I'VE BEEN GOING THERE
EVERY NIGHT FOR A WEEK.
YOU CALLED?
THE BARTENDER SAID
HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS GUY
FROM ADAM.
Hayward:
WAIT, THAT'S CRAZY.
LET ME MAKE A PHONE CALL.
I'LL TALK TO THE GUY.
YOU GET ONE CALL...
AFTER YOU'RE BOOKED.
TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE STATION.
I'LL FOLLOW IN MY CAR.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M LEAVING TOMORROW.
WHY?
I'M TIRED OF
BEING TREATED
LIKE I'M SOME SORT
OF A CRIMINAL.
IF HE WAS LOOKING
TO FIND AMY
HOW DID HE KNOW
TO FOLLOW US?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IT SURE WAS CREEPY.
IT SURE WAS.
EXCUSE ME, GUYS?
COULD I TALK TO DR. SLOAN ALONE
A MINUTE, PLEASE?
SURE. MADISON, WOULD
YOU GRAB THE RIBS?
THANKS.
DR. SLOAN, AMY'S PACKING.
I KNOW.
YOU HAVE TO TALK TO HER.
WELL, SHE WANTS TO GO, ALEX.
I DON'T SEE WHAT I CAN DO
TO STOP HER.
YOU CAN TELL HER
YOU BELIEVE HER.
ALEX...
BUT YOU DON'T, DO YOU?
YOU HAVEN'T BELIEVED HER
FOR ONE MINUTE.
ALEX, I'M SORRY,
BUT SHE HAS LIED TO US
FROM THE MOMENT WE MET HER.
SHE'S IN DANGER, MARK.
SHE'S SCARED.
SHE DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT.
I TOLD HER
SHE SHOULD STAY HERE
AND HELP THE POLICE
ANY WAY SHE CAN...
SHE DOESN'T EVEN WANT
TO TALK TO THEM.
BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WHO TO TRUST.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW
I CAN HELP HER WITH THAT, ALEX.
I MEAN, IF SHE WANTS TO GO,
IT'S HER DECISION.
HE'S RIGHT.
IT'S MY DECISION.
AMY, IF YOU LEAVE HERE
THEY WILL FIND YOU
AND THEY'RE GOING TO KILL YOU
JUST LIKE THEY DID
YOUR ROOMMATE
AND JUST LIKE THEY DID
THE OTHER WOMAN.
LOOK, IF YOU HADN'T SEEN
THAT GUY IN HIS CAR
HE WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED YOU
TO ME RIGHT HERE.
THEN YOU CAN STAY AT
MY PLACE, ALL RIGHT?
I'LL TALK TO MY...
NO, ALEX.
LOOK, IF SHE LEAVES
HERE TOMORROW
AND WE DON'T TRY
TO STOP HER AND
SHE GETS KILLED
HOW YOU GOING
TO FEEL?
ALEX...
I'M GOING TO GO HOME.
NOBODY THERE KNOWS
WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING HERE.
AMY...
IT'LL BE FINE.
NOBODY BUT YOU WILL KNOW
WHERE I AM.
I'LL BE SAFE.
YOU'LL SEE.
THANKS AGAIN.
LAST CHANCE.
I REALLY DON'T MIND
DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT.
THIS IS FINE.
YOU'VE ALREADY DONE MORE
THAN I DESERVE.
BYE.
STEVE, IT'S ME.
I TAKE IT THIS IS
WHAT THE KILLER'S
BEEN LOOKING FOR.
I... I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S CLARISSA OAKES' MONEY.
YOU KNOW THAT MUCH, DON'T YOU?
YOU JUST STAYED AT MY HOUSE
OVER THE WEEKEND
UNTIL THE BANK OPENED TODAY,
DIDN'T YOU?
PLEASE. THIS ISN'T
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
OKAY, IF IT'S NOT WHAT
IT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT IS IT, THEN?
CLARISSA SAID THAT IF ANYTHING
EVER HAPPENED TO HER
SHE WANTED ME
TO HAVE THIS MONEY.
NOW, WHY WOULD SHE SAY
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER... SHANNON.
SHE'S THE REASON I LEFT HOME
WHEN I DID.
I WAS PREGNANT, AND...
HER FATHER DIDN'T WANT
TO MARRY ME.
EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE
THESE PAST FEW YEARS...
IT'S... IT'S ALL BEEN
TO SUPPORT HER.
WELL, THAT STILL
DOESN'T EXPLAIN
WHY CLARISSA OAKES WANTED
TO GIVE YOU THE MONEY.
CLARISSA WAS HER GODMOTHER.
SHE WAS
SO PROUD OF HER.
SO AM I.
THE MONEY WOULD HAVE MEANT THAT
I COULD GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS
BUT SHANNON COULD STILL
GO TO GOOD SCHOOLS
ALL THE WAY TO COLLEGE.
WELL, NOW YOU GOT A CHOICE.
YOU CAN EITHER GO
TO JAIL WITH ME
OR COME BACK TO THE HOUSE
WITH MY FATHER.
MADISON...
OH, EXCUSE ME.
HERE'S THOSE TEST SCORES.
THANKS, MARK.
UM, BRETT, THIS IS
DETECTIVE SLOAN'S FATHER,
MARK SLOAN.
MARK, THIS IS
BRETT HAYWARD.
YEAH, I'M, UH
I'M THE FELLOW THAT
WAS STALKING HER.
DON'T LOOK
SO SHOCKED.
IT WAS ALL A BIG MISTAKE.
OH. WELL, IT'S
NICE TO MEET YOU
MR. HAYWARD.
JUST HOW DID, UH...
WELL, NO
HE REALLY WAS ON HIS WAY
TO A RESTAURANT IN MALIBU.
Mark:
OH, I THOUGHT
THE BARTENDER
DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU.
OH, HE WAS
A SUBSTITUTE BARTENDER
THAT NIGHT, YEAH.
AND THE REGULAR
BARTENDER
RECOGNIZED HIM RIGHT AWAY.
OH.
SURE DID.
AS I SAID BEFORE,
I'M... TERRIBLY SORRY I...
HEY, COME ON, DON'T APOLOGIZE.
IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE...
BUT WITH, UH
DELIGHTFUL
CONSEQUENCES.
LISTEN, I GOT TO GO.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT,
7:00?
YOU BET.
DR. SLOAN.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
PLEASURE.
Madison:
PRETTY CHARMING, HUH?
MMM. UH... YOU'RE SEEING
HIM TOMORROW NIGHT, EH?
YEAH, DINNER. MY TREAT.
LEAST I COULD DO.
I'LL CATCH UP
WITH YOU.
OKAY.
MARK, HAVE YOU SEEN JESSE?
NO, IT'S HIS DAY OFF.
HE'S ON ONE OF THOSE, UH
RIDE-ALONG THINGS.
MMM.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THAT COP PATTY'S GOING
TO PLAY A JOKE ON HIM.
OH, YEAH, UH, STEVE TOLD ME.
YOU KNOW, AFTER WE
TALKED ABOUT IT
HE, UH, HE ASKED THEM
TO CALL IT OFF.
WELL, I WISH
I'D HAVE KNOWN THAT.
I NEVER WOULD HAVE WARNED HIM.
HE WAS SO UPSET.
I THINK HE LIKES
THAT POLICEWOMAN.
YEAH?
WELL... NO HARM DONE.
JESSE, GET BACK!
GET DOWN!
HEY, GUYS,
DON'T STOP ON MY ACCOUNT.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU WENT
THROUGH ALL
THIS TROUBLE.
HEY... THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD...
LOOKED REAL
AND I'M A DOCTOR.
I KNOW WHAT REAL
LOOKS LIKE
AND THAT WAS PRETTY DARN CLOSE.
JESSE, GET BACK
TO THE CAR.
THAT WAS A LITTLE PHONY.
I WOULDN'T QUIT
YOUR DAY JOB.
YOU IDIOT
GET DOWN!
Jesse:
OKAY, THAT'S
ENOUGH, BUDDY.
WE'VE ALL HAD OUR FUN AND GAMES.
HE WENT THAT WAY.
HEY, YOU BIG
BRAVE GUY.
YOU'RE GOING
TO BE OKAY.
YOU HEAR ME?
YOU'RE GOING
TO BE OKAY.
YEAH.
YEAH.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.
OKAY.
WELL, THIS CAN'T
BE RIGHT.
WELL, THIS IS
THE ADDRESS WE GOT.
CAN I HELP YOU?
UH, WE'RE LOOKING
FOR A BOBBY BAKER.
REVEREND BOBBY
BAKER, THAT'S ME.
OH, WELL, THIS IS
PROBABLY A MISTAKE.
WE GOT YOUR NAME
FROM...
UH... IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT SOME FORMER CLIENTS
OF A... CALL-GIRL RING
ARE BEING, UH,
BLACKMAILED.
WE GOT A NAME
FROM ONE OF THE GIRLS.
IT'S PROBABLY A MIX-UP.
ONE OF CLARISSA OAKES'S GIRLS?
WELL, YES.
THE LORD DOES WORK
IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.
THAT WAS THE BEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
WELL, I WASN'T ALWAYS
A MINISTER.
IN FACT, UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO
I WAS A TERRIBLE SINNER.
IT WASN'T TILL
I WENT TO PRISON
THAT I FOUND GOD...
OR MAYBE MORE TRUTHFULLY
IT WAS IN PRISON
THAT GOD FOUND ME
AND IT WAS CLARISSA OAKES
WHO PUT ME THERE.
I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND.
I ALWAYS SUSPECTED
CLARISSA RATTED ME OUT.
I TOLD ONE OF HER GIRLS
ABOUT A ROBBERY I PULLED.
SHE TOLD CLARISSA
AND CLARISSA TOLD HER TAME COP.
CLARISSA OAKES HAS A COP
ON THE TAKE?
YOU'RE SAYING YOU NEVER HEARD
OF THAT?
HOW DO YOU THINK SHE STAYS
IN BUSINESS?
I'M FEEDING 30 HOMELESS TONIGHT
AND I'M STILL $10 SHORT
IF YOU'D CARE
TO MAKE A DONATION.
WELL, OF COURSE.
COULD YOU TELL ME...
WHO WAS THE POLICE OFFICER?
Amy:
OKAY.
I GOT IT.
I'LL BE THERE.
WHAT IS IT?
THAT WAS THE COP
FROM STEVE'S PRECINCT.
HE SAID STEVE WANTS TO MEET ME
AT THE NORTH END OF ZUMA BEACH.
SOME GUY'S KILLED
TWO PEOPLE ALREADY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT WAS A COP
ON THE PHONE?
CARDINAL HERE.
Amy:
Hi.
IT'S AMY.
I THOUGHT I SHOULD
JUST CALL YOU BACK
TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE
WHO YOU SAID YOU WERE.
WELL, THAT WAS VERY SMART.
I WISH EVERYBODY WAS
AS CAUTIOUS AS YOU.
WELL, THANKS.
THANK YOU.
IT'S HIM.
YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO COME WITH YOU?
THE COP SAID STEVE
WANTS ME TO COME ALONE.
I'LL BE OKAY.
SLOAN RESIDENCE.
STEVE?
DROP THE RIFLE
DETECTIVE, AND DON'T MOVE.
YOU'RE NOT WEARING KEVLAR.
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
I'M PUTTING THE RIFLE DOWN.
ALL RIGHT,
JUST STAY...
JUST STAY CALM,
THAT'S ALL.
GIVE IT UP,
CARDINAL.
IT'S OVER.
GET UP.
I KNOW WHY
YOU KILLED
CLARISSA AND JOYCE.
THEY KNEW WHO YOU WERE.
THEY MIGHT'VE MESSED UP
YOUR BIG PROMOTION.
GO TO HELL.
WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS
WHY YOU TRIED
TO KILL AMY SAROYAN.
LIKE I SAID, GO TO HELL.
I'M NOT TALKING
TILL I SEE A LAWYER.
ALEX...
WELL, HE HASN'T CONFESSED YET,
BUT, UH...
WH-WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE ANYMORE.
OH, COME ON, ALEX.
DON'T BE SUCH AN IDIOT.
I HAVE TO GET
OUT OF HERE
BEFORE YOUR FRIEND THE COP
AND HIS DAD GET BACK.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IS THIS...
CLARISSA'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK.
ALL OF HER CLIENTS ARE
IN THERE
INCLUDING HER SILENT PARTNER,
SOMEONE WITH THE INITIALS
"R.C."
ROBERT CARDINAL.
DUMMY ME...
I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE
THE CONNECTION.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO THIS.
IF YOU GIVE
IT TO STEVE...
GIVE IT TO THE POLICE?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
SOME OF THE NAMES IN THIS THING?
BOYLE MAY HAVE PREFERRED
TO GO PUBLIC
BUT WITH MOST OF THESE GUYS,
THERE'S A FORTUNE TO BE MADE.
DON'T TAKE IT
PERSONALLY, ALEX.
I REALLY LIKE
YOU... A LOT.
IN FACT, IF
YOU'D BE WILLING
TO CHUCK THIS WHOLE
MEDICAL SCHOOL THING
AND COME WITH ME...
YOU KNOW WHAT, AMY?
THAT SOUNDS LIKE
A GREAT IDEA.
WE CAN GO OFF
AND WE CAN GO TO THE CARIBBEAN
AND WE CAN GO
TO EUROPE
AND WE CAN LIVE
LIKE ROYALTY...
UNTIL THE MONEY RUNS OUT.
THEN, WHAT?
AMY...
YOUR FRIENDS WERE RIGHT.
YOU ARE A REAL STRAIGHT ARROW...
AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.
IT WAS GREAT SEEING YOU.
LET'S DO IT AGAIN
IN, LIKE, 40 OR 50 YEARS.
Mark:
YOU WEREN'T PLANNING
ON LEAVING
WITHOUT SHANNON,
WERE YOU?
MY NAME'S NOT SHANNON.
IT'S ANGELA.
I KNOW IT'S NOT, HONEY.
WHY DON'T YOU
GO SEE YOUR MOTHER?
DR. SLOAN, I...
DON'T START, AMY.
I NEVER BELIEVED YOU,
NOT FOR A MINUTE.
AMY SAROYAN...
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST...
GET OFF ME.
FOR THE ATTEMPTED EXTORTION
OF COUNCILMAN THOMAS BOYLE.
GET OFF ME.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN
AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
GET OFF. OW.
YOU'RE... YOU'RE
BEING SILLY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU
WHO KEEP PEOPLE LIKE ME
FROM GETTING
THEIR PAPERWORK DONE.
YEAH, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I APOLOGIZE.
HMM?
NO, DON'T.
YOU'RE JUST WHAT
THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
YEAH?
YEAH, A REMINDER
THAT THERE'S MORE TO
LIFE THAN PAPERWORK.
OH, YEAH,
WHOLE LOT MORE.
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT WAS JUST A MONTH AGO
I DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW YOU EXISTED.
YEAH, WELL,
I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT WAS JUST LESS
THAN THREE WEEKS AGO
THAT I HAD YOU ARRESTED.
IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY.
YEAH.
HUH?
LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHILE YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PLANS.
MM-HMM. IT HAS BEEN A
WHIRLWIND, HASN'T IT?
MM-HMM.
UH, WAIT-WAIT
A MINUTE. WAIT.
ARE YOU...
ARE YOU SURE
THAT YOU WANT ME
TO MOVE IN WITH YOU?
COME ON.
I'M POSITIVE.
OKAY.
AW, COME ON.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN...
YOU CAN'T POSTPONE
THE INEVITABLE.
OTHERWISE, THE LITTLE SCAMPS
START MULTIPLYING ON THEIR OWN.
NOW, I THOUGHT YOU HAD
A BUSINESS MEETING, TOO.
OH, YEAH.
UH, YEAH, UH...
ONE FOR THE ROAD.
NO, YOU'RE FORGETTING...
I'LL SEE YOU.
IT'S ONE FOR YOUR BABY,
AND ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD.
YES?
Brett:
DR. HJORTSBERG?
YES.
IT'S ME, EDDIE DAGABOSIAN.
EDDIE... IS ANYTHING THE MATTER?
NO, NO, I, UH...
SORRY ABOUT BARGING IN
ON YOU LIKE THIS
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME
TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
I KNEW YOU WORK
LATE ON THURSDAYS.
THOUGHT I'D STOP IN
FOR A QUICK CHECKUP.
OH. WELL,
AS LONG AS YOU'RE HERE ALREADY
I'LL GIVE YOU A LOOK.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
I WAS, UH...
YEAH, I WAS, UH, SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU THE OTHER NIGHT
WITH MY OLD FRIEND,
DR. WESLEY.
I THOUGHT YOU
MIGHT'VE SPOTTED US.
MM-HMM.
ARE YOU TWO, UH,
AN ITEM, AS THEY SAY?
MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
AH.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.
UH-HUH...
OH, YEAH, THIS IS LOOKING
VERY, VERY GOOD.
WELL, IT'S THANKS
TO YOU, DOC.
I EXPECT
I'LL BE SEEING HER
TOMORROW MORNING
AT COMMUNITY GENERAL.
SHE'S A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
YOU'RE LUCKY.
YOU KNOW, UH, AFTER THE
ACCIDENT, THE WAY I LOOKED
I-I THOUGHT THAT SUICIDE
WAS MY ONLY OPTION.
WELL, I'M GLAD
YOU CAME TO YOUR SENSES.
AS THEY SAY, IN MOST CASES
"SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION
TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM," HMM?
YEAH, BUT...
THINKING THAT A BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN LIKE MADISON
COULD EVER FALL
IN LOVE WITH ME.
THAT WAS AN
IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.
YOU... YOU ARE A
MIRACLE WORKER, DOC.
WELL... WELL, AS LONG
AS YOU'RE HANDING OUT KUDOS,
EDDIE
KEEP SOME FOR YOURSELF,
'CAUSE YOU'RE A DREAM PATIENT.
THE FASTEST, MOST COMPLETE
RECOVERY I HAVE SEEN
IN 30 YEARS
OF PRACTICE.
IS THAT MY FILE?
YEAH, MM-HMM.
OH.
ALL RIGHT,
NOW COMES MY FAVORITE PART
THE TAKING OF THE, UH,
AFTER PHOTO.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE NEEDING THAT.
WHA...
HERE.
UH, WHO'S THIS?
THAT'S EDDIE DAGABOSIAN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WELL, Y-YOU REALLY
DON'T NEED TO.
I PROMISE YOU, DOC...
I'M YOUR MOST GRATEFUL PATIENT
EVER.
