Melrose Place (1992–1999): Season 5, Episode 27 - Deja Vu, All Over Again - full transcript

Michael's devious younger sister, Jennifer Mancini, arrives in town from New York to stay, and moves in with him and Megan at the beach house and soon shows her true arrogant colors when she meets with Amanda for a job at D&D. Meanwhile, Craig thinks romancing Sydney will solve D&D's legal problems after she follows Harry's advice to sue the agency. Alison has an uncomfortable meeting with Colleen, Jake's former girlfriend and mother of his son, who arrives for a visit and makes Alison vulnerable to fall off the wagon again. Matt tries to stop Chelsea from going to Paris with Denise. Samantha secretly uses Billy's money to finance her father's next move after she learns that he has actually escaped from prison and asks her to hide him long enough for him to leave the country. Amanda goes out with Kyle to various art gallery exhibitions, and Taylor tries to fulfill Peter's fantasy of making herself as his dead wife Beth.

Hey, you don't
have to be so rude.

Helping him get a job will
give him more independence,

more meaning to his life.

I know! Shooters.

Considering the boutique
is out of business,

shouldn't you be thinking
about getting yourself a job?

Hi, guys! Jake, I don't
know if you're aware of it,

but my dad's looking for a job.
He'll take any job.

I right this second
flashed on Shooters.

He'll take anything you got.

Can I send him around?



Sure! Yeah. I'll call
Joe from the road.

We're off to parts unknown.

Destiny is gonna lead us to the
perfect place to get married.

Billy: Oh... eloping.

That's great. What... what
changed your mind?

Aw, it's so romantic!

You don't even know where!

We'll know when we get there.

Get your dad in there sometime this
morning. It won't be a problem.

Thanks, Jake.
Good luck, you guys!

Yeah, all the best.

Okay If my dad borrows
one of your ties?

Yeah. Oh, thanks.

Sure.



Sydney?

What do ya know, small world, huh?
How you doing?

You of all people should know, seeing
as how you're the one responsible

for me losing everything that
ever meant anything to me.

What, are you following me? You want to
see how much I took out of my account

just so you can maybe get your
greedy paws on some of that, too?

You see Sydney, I'm giving you
a chance to turn the tables.

Join up with me, and you
can be the one to cash in.

Obviously the word fraud
doesn't mean anything to you,

not to mention prison.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

this is my rental car.

I'm just up the street.
The lot on the corner.

You don't mind, do you?

Buckle up.

Oh, you're perfect
for this, Sydney.

All you gotta do is
take a little tumble,

and you turn
the rest over to me.

We file suit.

I parade in the best
expert witnesses

1,000 bucks can buy.

Next thing you know, they're
showering you with cash.

Nothing is that easy, Mr. Dean.

Please... it's Harry.

What are you doing?!

You idiot!

This is a rental! I waived
the collision insurance!

Relax. I'm just giving
you a little preview.

Oh, boy.

Oh, look at this!

My God!

Weren't you looking
where you were going?

Oh...

I pulled something here.

I can feel it. It's
all out of whack.

Oh... we gotta report this.

I'm calling the cops.

Wait! Whoa! Guys, come on.

My car took
the brunt of it here.

If we get the police involved,

my rates go up,
your rates go up.

What do you say we just
settle it right here, okay?

Uh... you got a dent,
broken tail light.

Back end's pretty messed up.

How about $1,000?

You obviously haven't been
to a body shop lately.

What about my friend here?

Yeah...

Look, I got my checkbook in the car.
How about 1,500?

Why don't we make it
an even 2 grand?

2,000?

You got it.

Ha ha ha ha.

How easy was that?

Too easy.

Easy has its repercussions.

That's it. That's the end.

I won't be corrupted.

I would like to talk
about this, okay?

The ad. You saw it.

That's what I want
to talk to you about.

I don't like it at all.

Well, it can't be the graphics.

I supervised it myself.

And the placement is the
best money can buy.

It's who's featured
in the artwork.

It's Taylor front and
center, holding menus.

This is my place with
my name out front.

I see. It's an issue of ego.

The point is,
I never approved this.

I know. Taylor did, when
you were still attached.

I would like this
pulled immediately,

I would like it pulled and
I would like it changed.

Done deal. I'll get
Billy on it right away.

Hmm. Ha.

Uh... look, I'm sorry.

I went to the restaurant today,

and everybody
was talking about it,

and I lost it.

It's no problem. I wrote the
book on misplaced anger.

Since you came all the way
out here, how about coffee?

Tempting, but I gotta
get back to work.

Another time?

You know all my haunts.

All right. Later. No... you keep it.
Keep it.

Matt, I don't wanna see
my mother.

This whole idea just sucks.

There's no other choice, okay?

You gotta meet with her.

Odds are, once she sees
how happy you are here,

she'll head back to Europe,
and that'll be that.

Just... be cool, okay?

Just... and...

Be polite.

Be...

honest.

The boy scout creed, no doubt.

Matt.

Hello, Chelsea.

Oh, Chelsea.

You poor thing.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You've been through so much,

and if I had known, I
would have come sooner.

Um...

I'm fine, actually.

I... I really like it here.

I'm sure you do.

Matt's been great.

He's taken on
a very difficult task.

I'm not that difficult.

I'm not saying that.

No, you're just saying
that you can just

waltz in here
because you're my mother,

and like it doesn't matter
that you abandoned me?

I don't doubt that your father
has told you many things about...

He stayed, okay?

You left!

You left.

Chelsea, your father was very
angry at me when we broke up.

He didn't understand me.

Well, then it's like
father like daughter,

because I don't
understand you, either.

So why don't you
just get out of here?

Would you please
give me the opportunity

to at least tell you
that I'm sorry?

Just go!

Mario! Let's go. Lunch
rush is on the way.

Be right there. Kyle.

Hi. Hey.

I know you're busy,
but I'm kind of

in a desperate situation here.

And while I know I only come to
you in desperate situations,

this one really is desperate.

I need a job. An honest job.

I was thinking waitressing.

I've done it before at Shooters,

it was mostly burgers
and beers and stuff,

but I figure if I can do that
I can pretty much do anything.

Well, I gotta admit, we could use
a little extra help around here.

Oh, uh, great...

Not again. Not again! I knew the
minute that you lost your boutique,

you'd come nosing around here
for another job. I knew it!

I take it you
don't like the idea.

Hate it.

You're hired, Syd.

Start tonight. White blouse.
Black pants.

Great.

Um... thanks. You won't
be disappointed.

This is tit for tat.

Not at all. You are doing
Peter on a regular basis.

I am hiring somebody I
slept with just once. Oh!

That is your crap in the box over
there, stuff you left behind.

Ha. I love that wedding album.
Peter and your sister.

Amazing you kept that hidden
from me all these years.

What'd you do, wait till I
was out of the apartment,

then drool over the pictures
of the dashing young Peter?

You had no right
to go through my things!

Nice wedding, too. Ha.

His dad really rolled
out the old carpet

for old Dr. Burns.
It's no wonder

they were less than
thrilled by your choice

of an ex-marine with
few... if any... prospects.

It must have been
tough to grow up

in the shadow of
someone like Beth.

Too bad she's not still around

to see how well you turned out.

One of these days, you're gonna
choke to death on that sarcasm.

Just so long as after I'm
gone you honor my memory

the way you have your sister's.

Yeah, I'll crash your funeral
and spit on your grave.

You still got a mouth on
you, I'll give you that.

Just so you know... you'll never
be getting close to it again.

I, uh, wanted to
get it all packed

before the real estate
agents moved in.

You have stuff here as
well that'll have to go.

Oh, no. Only if we want it to.

Kimberly's mother called.

The will was read.

Kimberly left us the house.

Yeah. Apparently
she had mortgage insurance,

so it's... it's ours,
free and clear.

And you're suggesting
what? That we live here?

Well, I mean, move or stay,

we're still saddled
with the memories.

Come on, Megan.
This is a great place.

Couple of coats of paint,
some new furniture...

we could make it our own.

I don't know.
It's kind of weird.

Oh, come on, Megan!

Aren't you tired
of... of running away?

You know, Michael, I'm just not
sure that I am that strong.

You are. Megan, you have to be.

Hey, I'm on a collision course
with success here, okay?

I mean... it may not seem like that
right now, but it's in the stars.

And you think that living here

has something to do with that?

Hey did you ever hear
the expression,

"go to the top and
never look back"?

Well, this is phase one of
the never look back chapter.

Now, are you with me
or against me?

Speak now or forever
hold your peace.

I'm with you. You know
that I'm always with you.

Oh!

Mmm... mmm...

Peter, I'm home.

Great. Great. I'll be right out.

Listen, I, um...

I put a new dress on the bed.

I picked it up on the way home.

Why don't you slip it on, and I'll
take you to the Palm for some lobster.

Cool.

So what are you doing
home so early?

Sydney's working forKyle
at the restaurant again.

Can you believe it?

I went out for a little air
and I never went back.

You sure about this dress?

I don't feel
very comfortable in it.

No, it's perfect.

You look exactly...

how I want you to look.

Wait till you see me out of it.

No, no. Not so fast.

Maybe you should try
playing hard to get.

That's it.

Resist me.

Peter, I don't like this.

That's the idea.

Stop!

Now quit fighting me.

This is too weird. Come on.

It's what you want,
and you know it.

No! No!

Say it. Stop it! No!

Yes. Oh, yes.

Thanks for the ride, Matt.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah. I feel great, actually.

About everything.

Staying with you... it's where I belong.
End of story.

Bye.

Chelsea.

Chelsea, wait. Let go of me.
Leave me alone.

I understand. I do.

I know what it's like to be
scared to open up your feelings.

If you could just give
me a few minutes...

That's all I need. I'll be late.

Then just one.

I... I can't go back to Europe

without you at least
knowing how I feel.

How do I say this?

I have loved you...

from the moment
you were conceived.

And every moment after that.

I have loved you and missed you

and regretted
my decision to leave,

and I know that by saying

that it was the worst
mistake of my life

isn't going to change things

or make this any better. It's...

Chelsea, it's...

It's just that when something
like this happens,

every day you let go by,

you're just that much further
away from repairing it.

Y-you better go back to class.

I... I'm so sorry...

for everything.

I am so sorry.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

You have to know this.

When I was little...

every day, I used to pray
that you would come back.

I guess one of your prayers
found its way to Europe.

I'm so glad it did.

Oh, honey.

Mom.

My Chelsea.

My Chelsea.

Megan, what are those?

Uh, latest volume of memos.

Peter wants me to have 'em ready
in time for the board meeting.

I still have to
copy and distribute.

Yeah, listen. You forgot one.

No, I didn't. What's this?

Never mind. Just make
sure he signs it

without reading it.

Didn't you tell me that he
never reads before signing?

"I strongly urge the use of p1000
in all surgical situations..."

Okay, all right.
If you must know,

it's a memo promoting a product
that Peter helped develop

and owns a piece of.

In other words,

any recommendation
would be self-serving

and a conflict of interest. See?

Once that gets out,
they'll toss him out

quicker than you can
say Whitewater.

And you become
the next chief of staff.

Very good. You're catching on.

This is totally unethical.

Come on. No.

It's nothing like that.

Think of it as a case
of acute mischief.

Are we done yet?
I've got surgery.

Oh, here we go.
Great, great, great.

Now, I want full distribution

by the time I get back.

Okay? Thanks.

You heard what he said,
full distribution.

I hope you guys aren't
in a real big hurry.

It could be a day or 2 before
I get a new fuel pump.

Well, I think we'll live.

Um... there isn't anyplace
romantic around here, is there?

Well, the motel up in town's
got a bit of a reputation.

Satellite TV.

Well, actually,

we were looking for a
place to get married.

Oh, well...

couple of days, you'll
be back on the road.

That's the best I can promise.
We'd better get rolling.

Well, that's what we get
for putting ourselves

in the hands of fate.

The only fate is to
be together forever.

Exactly. This is just a bump on
the road, not a sign from above.

Even if it was, I guarantee you

the gods would be
applauding our decision.

I don't care what he said.

The customer is always right.

Sorry to interrupt, but
I'm looking for Kyle.

Amanda!

Uh, excuse me.

What can I do for you? A
little business to discuss.

I'm surprised you'd
give me the time of day

after my little tirade.

So... I thought Billy was
taking over the account.

Well, actually, I'm giving
you the opportunity

to change your mind.

That ad that you hated so much

just won a Silva Design Award.

It is the most prestigious
award on the West Coast.

No kidding.

We'll both benefit
from the exposure.

I'm throwing a cocktail party
at the office to celebrate.

It's customary.
And you have to be there.

Mmm. I'll go you one better.

My, uh, staff and I
will cater it for you.

Does that include
your mini harem as well?

We all have our burdens to bear.

Uh...

I know I promised,
but I couldn't stay away.

Can you come sit
down for a second?

Yeah, sure.

So how's the first
day on the job?

It couldn't be better.

'Course, cleaning the rest rooms

isn't exactly my first
choice of a career.

Kinda smacks of... being on the
inside, if you know what I mean.

Only you get
a paycheck out here.

Well, actually, I asked
for cash under the table.

They said that was up to
Jake when he gets back.

You guys'll clear it
with him, right?

Sure. Of course. I'm
going to the rest room.

Billy, will you order
me a white wine?

Mmm... hmm.

You don't like me very
much, do you, son?

I don't really know you, Jim.

Well, I sure know you.

And you can be damned sure
that I don't like you.

Never had to work a day
in your life, have you?

That is total crap.

I worked very hard for
everything I've gotten.

Except Sam.

She came to you real easy.

Look... we love each other.

Then get married.

That's what people in love do.

They tie the knot.

You know...

after I get enough saved
up to get my own place,

it might be better if Sam
moved in with me for a while.

She's not so old that I still
can't tell her what to do.

What if I object?

Well, then...

that would be your tough
luck, wouldn't it?

Ah.

What a night, huh?

I have blisters instead of skin,

bunions where I once had toes.

Can't complain about the tips.

Customers like you, Syd.
You got personality.

You like it, too.

You... uh... eh?

A-hee? A-ha?

Ahh!

Oh, yes...

What... you thought
I wouldn't notice you

staring at me all night?

It was that energy thing.

I wanted to see when it ran out.

Guess I'm like
that battery bunny.

I just keep going... going...

and going. And going and going.

You know...

I used to dream that someday
you'd be free of Taylor...

and that something would happen

to make you open your eyes.

You know why I lost
Carter, don't you?

No.

He figured out that I'd never
really gotten over you.

It's true. I... I haven't.

Syd, I like you. I really do,

but I...

I'm not ready to be in a
relationship with anybody.

Except maybe Amanda, right?

Hey, that's not true.

Yeah, right.

You don't know how bad this is,

getting rejected
for what... the third time?

Come on, Syd. It's not you.

You know, my life has
just been hell lately,

and I guess I was just looking
for a little sympathy.

What was I thinking?

This did not happen, okay?
It did not happen.

Don't be shy.

Come join me!

You can't imagine
how wonderful this is.

Ever since I passed
through to the other side,

I'm finally at peace.

Wait. I haven't passed
through, too, have I?

No, no, no!
You're just dreaming.

I thought it was a good
place for us to talk.

You know, Megan,

I knew you wouldn't want to
stay at the beach house,

but that's just silliness.

I... I want you to stay.

And I promise not to
show up or linger there

even as memories.

You have to understand, it's a
place that makes Michael happy.

I don't know how to explain
it any better than that.

He's just... different
when he's there.

He's happier, more relaxed.

And there's still some things

you need to know
about him, Megan.

You have to be careful.

He can be very tough
on his wives.

You mean unfaithful?

No, no. I'm talking about
his ruthless ambition.

It's bottomless
and never fulfilled.

And he drags his wives into
the same dangerous morass,

usually destroying them
before he destroys himself.

Jane went through it. Sydney twice.
I batted clean-up.

What can I do?

What I never could...
save him from himself.

And your reward will be a
solid, happy marriage.

Wait. I still don't understand.

If you are so happy up here,

why are you worried
about my marriage?

Well, it isn't actually
official yet,

but I might be
your guardian angel.

Right now, you have
to go back to bed,

because there is nothing
Michael enjoys more

than to be awakened in
the middle of the night

for lovemaking.

Oh...

You okay?

Yeah. Just...

a dream.

Mmm...

Oh, there's the expert.

Hey, listen, how many tables
do you think I'd need to

put in here to seat 16
people for a dinner party?

The board's gonna be in town,

and I want to have some
get-together for them.

What do you think,
2 tables, 3 tables?

Wouldn't a restaurant
make more sense?

Well, it's politically more
appropriate to have it here.

Besides, we can make it
dressy or sophisticated.

Give you a chance to
wear that new dress.

Impossible. I took it back.

That dress was a gift.

Page 6.

And don't dare tell me
it was a coincidence.

Oh, you don't have to look

because you know what
I'm talking about.

The dress that Beth
wore on your honeymoon?

The same dress that you
keep wanting me to wear?

Yeah, Beth was quite an
entertainer, too, wasn't she?

She'd know how many
tables and what to serve.

Oh, yeah! Beth was a
regular Martha Stewart.

Well, let me tell you
something, Peter,

this is sick.

It is demented.

I am not Beth, nor
will I ever be Beth.

Is turning me into Beth

the only way that
you can love me?

Is that what's going on here?

Talk to me, damn it.

Admit to me that you're
trying to turn me into Beth.

Go to Hell!

Where are you going?

Um...

I know this is
really short notice,

but I'm gonna be
staying with my mom

at her hotel for a few days.

And then we're gonna
go to Europe together.

I left you a note.

Chelsea...

I'm your legal guardian.

Yeah, and she's my mother.

I know. I didn't think that
meant anything either.

But when I thought about
it and we talked,

I just can't ignore that,

even if you have
been great to me.

And you have, Matt.

What do you know about her?

What do you really know?

I know that she loves me,

and that she always has.

She's just not the woman
that my dad said she was.

You know? And I've got to
give her a second chance.

So, thanks, Matt...

for everything.

It'll be another day until
he gets to the fuel pump.

We've already toured this burg,

all 2 blocks of it.

What are we gonna do?

Well, slow down
and we'll talk about it.

I'm restless.

I walk when I'm restless.

Hey, I heard there's
a movie theater in town.

It's a drive-in.

You need a car for a drive-in.

Look, I'm sorry
things didn't work out.

Will they ever, Jake?

Have they ever?

Our relationship is like this
wall of stumbling blocks.

Even when we don't
plan anything,

even when we don't
have any expectations,

things still don't work out.

I can't believe
we never saw that.

We walked this street 10 times.

Kismet.

Oh!

I'm sorry. May I help you?

Um...

my fiancé and I were
just passing by your church

and...

are you the minister?

No. I'm sorry. I'm the
minister's husband.

I'm the pastor here.

Care Lawford.

Can I help you?

Well...

maybe some other time.

We just happened to be
marooned in town, and...

actually, we were... we were
looking to get married,

but if this is a bad time...

I'll say. The pains
are 8 minutes apart.

Oh, plenty of time, Tim.

And these 2 look
positively desperate.

You uh... don't mind the
abridged edition, do you? No.

And you love each other, right?

Uh... yeah, of course.

Then let's get started.

The bottom line,
ladies and gentlemen,

is that this hospital
is running at its most

efficient level in years.

Ooh, sorry.

These meetings are open
to anyone, I understand.

How are you? Dr. Michael
Mancini, surgeon.

Nice to see you again.

So if there are
no further questions

or interruptions...

Um... well, have you discussed

surgical expenditures yet?

We've just finished.

Oh, and no one was
just a little bit

interested in the P1000?

The budget was
unanimously approved.

Oh, well, there must
be some mistake then.

You see,
as chief of staff, Peter,

aren't you obligated to disclose
all financial holdings?

I'm uh... give me
that, will you?

Referring to the memo
dated several days ago,

recommending the use of the P1000
in all surgical procedures.

Um...

I know it's in here somewhere.

Michael, no one in this room

has any idea
what you're talking about.

I personally developed the P1000

and would never
recommend its use.

It would be a direct
conflict of interest.

Well, I... I'm sure I saw a memo.

Well, not from me.

In any case,
this meeting is adjourned,

and I look forward to seeing
all of you tomorrow night

at my house for dinner.

Well, almost all of you.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow tonight.

Great, great.

Thank you, Dr. Burns.

See you tomorrow night.

We'll see ya then.
All right, thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Hi, I'm looking for Dr. Burns.

I bet you are.

All right, tell me it's not true,
tell me you didn't take that memo

out of the board
members' folders.

Yeah well, it wasn't easy. I had
to track them down individually.

Damn you. Do you have any idea

how stupid I looked at
that board meeting?

Ranting about some memo which
as far as they were concerned

didn't exist?

What, you actually
went to the meeting?

Of course. How else
was I supposed to

pull the lever on Peter?

I had a crisis
of conscience, okay?

I couldn't do it to Peter.

He's been nothing
but supportive of me.

So you screw me, your husband?

No, Michael. I believe in you,

that you can get
this job on your own.

Oh, good Lord, listen to you.

I thought hookers weren't
supposed to have a conscience.

I'm not gonna be
your pawn, Michael.

I reinvented myself,
and if you're smart,

you will do the same thing.

So, Sam, honey,

there's something
I need to tell you.

I wasn't gonna tell you, but...

now I can't hold on
to it any longer.

Your father...

your father pretty
much threatened me.

It wasn't a hint

or some kind of
sarcastic remark.

You know, he flat out said

he didn't approve of you and me,

and the emphasis was
definitely on me.

You're exaggerating.

No. Sam...

the guy is hiding some things,

and I think there's
some questions

that you need to ask yourself.

Well, why bother when I
have you to ask them?

He told you not to tell your mom

that he's living with us.

Okay? You don't ask why.

He wants to be paid
under the table.

You don't lift an eyebrow.

All right?

He smiles at you
and he threatens me.

Every time he sees a cop
he goes cross-eyed.

I mean, the man is
definitely hiding something,

and you, you just
sit there with this

kind of guilt-trip denial.

I owe him.
Don't you understand that?

He brought me into this
world, he sacrificed for me,

and I let him down. So yeah,

he's a little
bitter and a little angry.

But he is not here to hurt
you or me or anyone. Okay?

You just have to
trust me on that, Billy.

It's not you I have
the trust issue with.

Look,

I guess I was wrong.

This whole night
is a big mistake.

Just take me home.

Okay.

Amanda!

What are you doing here?

I assume the same thing
that you're doing...

What did you end up with?

Oh um... Vintage Brando.

Thrills of a vicarious nature.

Don't ask me why, but the
guy still gives me chills.

Well, I'm working
on my feminine side.

What? You know what? You've
got a very honest laugh.

I never noticed that before.

Well, it doesn't come out much.

At least, not lately.

I... I uh...

I'm actually more
in the mood for Brando

than I am for Meryl Streep.

Are you trying to get
me to invite you over?

I've seen your TV,
much nicer than mine.

You men are so selfish.

Mm-hmm, and less chatty.

You don't talk during
movies, do you?

From start to finish.

Hmm.

Hey.

Where did I once hear that
this was supposed to be

the happiest night of your life?

Oh, it was.

It is.

I was just thinking
about our baby.

I guess I put it out of my mind.

But when I think
about it, all this,

you know, the getting in
the car and just driving,

the truth is I was running away.

I haven't even cried.

And I just woke up feeling so...

so terribly sad.

So alone.

You'll never be alone again.

I'll always be here,

forever.

$2,000.

I'm still not
committing to anything.

I have a job.

Forget waitressing.

With you and I working together,

we have a chance
for a big score.

No more insurance companies
or 5 and dime operations.

I'm saying we go after
something big,

a corporation,

something prestigious.

That bitch.

Who, where?

Amanda Woodward.

I wait and I wait for that guy

and all she has to do
is wiggle her butt.

Well, it is a nice butt.

Yeah. So's his.

Almost belonged to me.

Anyway, as I was saying.

Wait. That's it.

It's right in front of us.

Big corporation
you're looking for?

Ever heard of
D and D Advertising?

Sure. Big company. Huge.

You should see all the marble
they've got at their offices.

Acres and acres of it.

We wouldn't even need
a banana peel.

Mmm.

Why do I feel like this
suddenly just got personal?

It did.

Amanda owns half the company.

Oh, you naughty little girl.

Only when I have to be.

Oh, whatever you do,
don't look at the clock.

I say we just spend
the whole day in bed.

With a little luck, they'll
never find that fuel pump.

You spoke too soon.

Hang on!

Mornin'. Morning.

Or is it afternoon already?

Either way, this is for you.

I'm friends with
Pastor Care and her husband.

They had a girl,
7 pounds 13 ounces.

The pastor, she said
that you were newlyweds.

First I've ever had
in this place.

Do you believe it?

Anyway...

you two have a good life.

Thank you.

I know, I should've
declined it, but...

No, come on.

It's such a sweet gesture.

I'm so happy right now,

one glass of champagne
isn't gonna kill me.

How else are we gonna
toast our marriage?

I don't know, bottled water?

Diet soda?

Come on, open the bottle.

It'll be our one
official wedding thing.

Okay.

If you insist.

Hey.

Hey, hey. Okay.

To my lovely bride,

who I will love
with all my heart

for all my life.

To my husband, Jake,

and no more
sadness in our lives.

See? One glass and no more.

It's a cakewalk.

Samantha Reilly?

Yes, that's me.

Detective Stevenson, L.A.P.D.

We're looking for
your father, Jim Reilly.

Have you seen or
spoken to him lately?

Why? What's he done?

Well, he escaped
from prison, Ms. Reilly,

a little over a week ago.

Our leads ran out in Sacramento,

and that's why we thought
he might end up here.

Well, I haven't seen him.

In years, actually.

And wouldn't this be the
last place he would come?

Are you aware that
it was my testimony

that got him put away?

Yeah. Yeah, his own kid.
That's rough.

Well, you uh... let us know
if he contacts you. Okay?

Certainly, right away.

Good evening, Jesse.

Well, Dr. Burns, I must say,

you are the handsomest
chief of staff in ages.

That old Hobbs was such
an old stick in the mud.

Did I understand you were
seeing someone new?

Oh, no. Just playing the field.

Really? Then who's that?

Taylor: Yes, we're both
so excited by Peter's success.

If anyone was ever born to a
job, it was certainly Peter.

Taylor, sweetheart,

could I have a second?

Would you excuse us
for a minute? Thanks.

So would you like
to explain this?

I didn't think I'd have to.

Doesn't the dress say it all?

Don't you think we
should seat our guests?

On second thought,

why don't you just
leave everything to me?

You really should stay
sober at these things.

Hey, it's not my night.

Kyle's the client of the week,

the boy toy of the moment.

There's nothing "boy" aboutKyle.

Mm-hmm.

Canapés?

Sydney, what are you doing here?

Making an honest living.

Shocking, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

No, thanks.

Uh... call for you on line 4.

Oh.

Sydney.

It's Harry. Everything's set.

Can you see the loft
from where you're standing,

the circular staircase?

Yeah, it's right behind me.

Second step from the top

is now conveniently
missing its skid tape.

Wait for the right moment,
and take your tumble.

Perfect. Happy landings.

Um... can I have
everyone's attention?

Just a quick toast

to all of your hard work in
winning this award for us,

and to Kyle for providing
the inspiration.

How does that toast of yours go?

You mean,"semperfi?"
That's it,"semperfi".

Semperfi, everyone. Semper fi.

Semper fi.

Excuse me.

Craig?

Where are you going?
The party's just starting.

Oh, no, don't tell me you want
credit for this campaign, too,

even though you had
nothing to do with it.

Hey, I'd settle for
some credit, period.

I saw you and Kyle sneaking off

into your apartment last night.

We watched a movie together.

That's okay I don't
need the details.

In fact, I'm getting great at

filling in all
the blanks by myself.

Take this, Amanda.

Whoa!

Call an ambulance.

Somebody call 911!

Hey, care... careful.

Oh, God, she's bleeding!
