Melrose Place (1992–1999): Season 4, Episode 32 - Dead Sisters Walking - full transcript

Look, detective,
I don't know where
Peter Burns is.

But I do know
he didn't run away

from those trumped-up
murder charges

because he didn't
kill Bobby Parezi.

Yeah? I say he did,

and that you're
the reason he did it.

You just better
hope you're not hiding
anything from me.

Oh, get off it.

I gave you the keys
and the wallet I found.

Now why don't you
go find Peter?

Yeah. Nice try.



That just looks to me
like someone trying
to disappear.

And if I find out that
you're helping him,

you're gonna wish you
never crossed my path.

[door opening]
Amanda.

Oh, excuse me.

That's all right,
I'm done here.

I'll be talking
with you, Miss Woodward.

That was a cop,
wasn't it?

Did he have anything?

No. What do you
want, Michael?

I found Kimberly.

You did?
Well, where is she?

I'll call the
detective back.
No, it's a

waste of time, Amanda.



She left for Hawaii
this morning.

And you let her go?

Are you insane?

I mean, she's gotta
know where Peter is.

She doesn't.

She loaned her office to him
while she's gone.

He has an office.

Not at the hospital.

Look, look, the
point is...

she left me.
All right?

I lost
the love of my life

because your
runaway killer

either pushed
her over the edge

or kidnapped her!
Or, hell, I don't know!

Maybe ran away
with her!

You know, I'm not insane,
Amanda!

I'm just really,
really ticked!

So am I, and you're
not helping matters.

All right, look,

the police are no help.

And we both know
that Peter and Kimberly

are somehow connected
in this whole thing.

The only way that you're
gonna figure out what's
going on with Kimberly

is if you help
me find Peter.

All right.

All right,
I'll think about it.

But if Peter has
anything to do with
Kimberly leaving me,

he's gonna wish
I never found him.

So Alison
actually said

she just wants to be
friends with me?

[chuckling]
Yeah, she did.

Like, that doesn't
mean, "go somewhere
and die."

I don't think that's
true in this case,
you know.

She cares
about you, you know?

Besides, you said yourself
you've been acting

like a jerk
since Brooke died.

So, maybe she has
reason to be careful.

Yeah, you're right.

What exactly does
she want me to do?

You know what kind
of person Alison is.

She's been through
a lot lately.

Maybe she wants
you to stop making
demands and listen to her.

When you
talked to her,

did you get
the feeling

that she still
has a thing for me?

Yeah, I saw
something there.

I think
she still needs you.

All right.
That's great.

Yeah, I guess so.

♪ ♪

Wow, Matt, you look like
you've been really
working out.

No, I-- I thought
I could get out and
run before school,

but I-- I thought
I could feel better.

I don't-- I think
I've got the flu
or something.

I'd better
get some rest.

Oh, my God,
you are burning up!

No, I-- I'll be
all right. I just

♪ ♪

Dr. Tucker will return

and I'd like to say
a few words before he does.

As Interim Director,

I have enjoyed working
with all of you.

As you know, I like to
run a tight, neat ship,

and thanks to Dave, Ziggy,
and Nurse Benson here,

I feel that
for the most part,

we've been successful.

Now, if any of you patients
ever hope to rejoin society,

there's something
you should learn.

Your treatment and medication
are for your own good.

If you fight me, your treatment
becomes more severe.

It's quite simple.

Ask Mr. Peters.

Kimberly.
You're not well,
Kimberly,

and you know it.

Who's that talking
in there now?

Betsy? Is that you?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, so sad.

He's raving.

He sounds quite mad
even to you,

doesn't he, Louie?

You need help,
Kimberly.

Don't fight it.

All of you patients
like this guy, don't you?

Especially you, Louie.

I even see Nurse Benson
looking at him
all cow-eyed.

And that will
stop right now.

Because let me tell you,

I know this man
for what he really is.

A kidnapper.
Mmmh.

A torturer,
an evil, lying abuser.

And I'm gonna make sure
that he never locks up

anyone against his will
ever again.

♪ ♪

I have very special help
for you, Mr. Peters.

Very special.

Hi, can I help you
with something?

Uh, yeah, I was looking
for All Outdoor
Sporting Goods.

They were supposed
to be on this block.

Yeah, it was, two
doors down,

But they moved out
about a month ago.

It's okay by me,
there's a gym and a
juice bar moving in.

I can hardly wait.

I was looking for a
knit cap and some gloves,

but it doesn't look
like you carry
that kind of stuff.

No. We specialize
in up-to-the-minute
fashions

for women in
their twenties,
like you.

Honestly, though,
what you're wearing

is totally hipper
than anything we have
on our racks.

Where did
you get that?

I made it.
I'm a designer.

Oh, wow.

This really
takes me back.

I used to work
in a place like this,
I loved it.

I love it, too.

We could really
use some of your
clothes in here.

But it's probably
too late, anyway.

The owners,
they're divorcing.

and I think
they're gonna
sell the place.

Then, boom, of course,
I'm out on the street.

I talk too much.

No, you don't.

Here's my card.
What was your name again?

Samantha,
Samantha Reilly.

Jane Mancini.
I'll be back.

Give me
a call if anything
starts to happen.

Oop.

I need to
talk to you.

Um, listen.

Believe me, this is
not a good time.

Peter's disappeared.
I don't know where Syd is.

And I gotta--
Wait, wait, wait,

Oh, sure.

Make it quick.

Michael, I'm
starting a new future

and I need some
financial backing.

What, from me?

Look around, my practice
is two minutes
from being history.

I've gotta hold on
to every dime I've got.

Look, after everything
you've done,
I figure you owe me.

Please, Michael,
this is important to me.

I owe you?
Your sister owes you.

Why don't you go to her,
if you can find her?

She's been socking
away her 10%--

Hell, you could
blackmail her.

What are
you talking about?

Oh, come on,
like you haven't
figured it out yet.

The pills.

She's the one who
spiked your drink

and nearly paralyzed
you for life.

Now, look, I've gotta
go. I've got patients.

Syd, where have
you been?

Don't yell at me.

I was sending Bobby off
on his final flight
to Florida.

There he was in a pine
box, going up the ramp,
with no one to say goodbye

to him except for
me and a couple
baggage handlers.

Michael,
it wasn't right.

Will you please stop
blabbering about that dead
mobster and get to work?

Jane, what are
you doing here?

Jane?

Hello?

Hi, Mr. Carver.
I can't seem to
find what I need.

I'm gonna have
to reschedule
you, okay? Syd?

Yeah, just a second.
[phone ringing]

Burns and Mancini,
please hold.

Would you reschedule
Mr. Carver for more
x-rays tomorrow?

Just have a seat.
I'll be right with you.

Michael--
What was Jane
doing here?

Why is she acting
so weird?

Oh-- um-- she
needed a favor.

And I ended up telling
her about...

well, that you did
that pill thing,

you know, your
little Christmas surprise?

What?
You told her?

Well, yeah. I figured
she already knew.

Now, how about answering
the phones, huh?

Come on.
Yes, doctor.

Hello, Mr. Peters.

How are we feeling
this evening?

Oh, just peachy.

Looking forward
to a little badminton
with Dave tomorrow,

Sarcasm doesn't
help you, Mr. Peters.

Neither does
challenging Dave.

He's been a guard here
for a long time.

I wouldn't cross him.

I don't like
bullies, nurse.

And I don't think
you do, either.

One little favor.

Those injections
are killing me.

The medicine
is helping.

But if you could
help me orally?

You know, with pills?

Um, I've got to
check with Dr. Shaw.

Oh, no, you don't want
to ask her.

She's just a--
mean old snake.

Not like you.

You are a good person.

Compassionate, and,

What happened last night
was unforgivable.

The precious bond
between doctor and patient

was destroyed.

Now, I don't blame any of
the rest of you for that.

I blame one man,
and that's why

he sits
before us right now.

So that he can see
the damage he's done

before we change
his behavior forever.

Nurse Benson,
would you like to explain

what's going to happen
to Mr. Peters tonight?

Dr. Shaw will give him
a temporal lobotomy.

And Nurse Benson
will gladly assist

because of the way
he deceived
and betrayed her.

Yes, Louie?

I have to go pee.

Now, Louie, you won't try and
run away again, will you?

No, no, I promise.

All right. Go on.

Kimberly. If you do this,
you'll never recover.

Don't worry about me,
Mr. Peters.

You're the one with
the adventure ahead of you.

You are about to
discover a clean and
simple way of living.

Living without thinking.

Won't that be fun?
