Pacific Blue (1996–2000): Season 5, Episode 9 - Big Girls Don't Cry - full transcript

When a popular female boxer dies in the ring, it's quickly discovered that the poison which killed her was actually intended for her opponent, real-life boxing superstar, Mia St. John. Envied (and disliked) by her peers for both her feminine beauty and her champion stature, Mia has been the victim of a stalker for several months. Jamie goes undercover as a female fighter, with Bobby as her trainer, both to protect Mia, and find the murderer.

hello again ladies and gentlemen this is

Jim Hill reporting live from the beach

in Santa Monica California dolls Gibson

is taking on VSA John any charity match

this event is being staged as an

exhibition match for the benefit of the

boys and girls club of it is the try for

next one stick bike in Las Vegas both

women seem to be holding their own early

here in the second round now I've got to

chug it if someone hadn't told you this



was an exhibition match for charity I'd

have to say these women are going at it

as if they were the main event both

fighters are giving vicious players

can't tell me that doesn't turn you on

yeah it does we afraid of a little sweat

no I'm afraid of that left hook you

don't really enjoy this you just feel a

blast and you tell me something well

well you pin all this time

psychoanalyzing ambitious women and

their need to prove that their toughest

men suffer because it some deep-seated

inferiority in weakness I said Joseph



another question interesting are you mr.

Peter and like me this what's your

problem with him in boxing I find it

unattractive then you must really hate a

woman who carries a gun whole nother

boys it's not pointing at me and that

ends this second round

as we go into the third and last round

of our main event I'd like to thank you

all for your enthusiasm and commitment

to this worthy local cause we hope these

athletes especially our gracious

celebrity fighters Mia the Knockouts st.

John's all the dominator Gibson that's

proven that today anyone can compete for

a major purse even if they carry one

those thanks again and don't forget to

tune in next month when Mia and I'll go

the real

you got a clip forgive you night / via

seems to be really going out the doll

with vicious fights unless I think this

is it for doll because look at her she

[Music]

[Music]

everyone likes out Oh everyone accepted

TNA simple you got a great up yeah so

what exactly if you think Nia had

against Dolph told everyone thanks me is

she looks pretty real to me yesterday

126 challenger not a boxing ring isn't

it true so it's all out of the way your

next to line up on me on HBO yeah right

tell you something job with more than

one of my closest friends she was my

mentor so you don't know if anyone else

who would have poisoned her Sal with

poison looks like you've always been one

hell of a fighter which is exactly why

someone like dal could never get under

me of skin in or out of the ring so when

she tell the media that you were wanna

be someone who merely exists to spur the

creation of a boxing Barbie and generate

revenues for waterproof mascara that

didn't tick you off officer Harper I'd

appreciate it if he led miss st. John

speak for herself I'm a fighter and my

record speaks for me you're also human

must have not felt so good to have such

a vocal enemy on the contrary the

stronger the opponent the sweetest

victory Mia doesn't mind having to prove

herself because she can now if you don't

mind my fighter is a long day of

training ahead of her actually ms Neiman

I do mind look dog gives him was a tough

opponent I'm going to miss the challenge

that's for doll hating me Mia claimed

just what turn the spotlight on her in

the first place so she's grateful for

the publicity help touching flip to see

me at st. John has been mocked slandered

maligned publicly ever since a career

began and all gets a shot her mouth

optimal but it doesn't make you killer

people killed for less whoever gives all

that poison had to be an insider with

access

go home TT look like crap if you're

going to spend your vacation in town

only get some rest do a crossword read a

book or to see that sounds almost as

good as the plans Chris and I are for

Bora Bora

[Music]

Harper triplets I'm sure YouTube chased

down as lead on that cyanide right

actually that's we were just talking to

the new d8 about

I did not lie to you Cory so I'm

supposed to believe us meeting yesterday

was just a coincidence I just moved to

Venice I was taking a walk you think I

expected to witness a homicide on my day

off and you didn't tell me your last

name because believe me it wasn't

intentional and intent is what

percentage of the law come on show me

that you're legalese is at least as

impressive as you pick up rap we're

impressed my officer said that you

seemed less than pleased that we've

already launched an investigation Cory

look there's there's work time and

there's playtime and yesterday I was

just a guy talking to the most beautiful

woman with a no-show and today you the

district attorney who doesn't trust me

to handle this case while my male

lieutenant is on vacation it's my first

big case your honor I need to hit one

out of the park I need a more

experienced team looks like an you're

slower team to because I already have

two officers in the cover until all

right okay do it all right I want you to

warm up on the heavy bag how long stop

[Music]

careful sweetie I might break in now who

are you the Welcome Wagon yeah that

would be assuming you were welcome and

I'm not because you don't need to come

yeah that's what no because what the

sport doesn't need is another Hawaiian

Tropic bikini babe who does typo oh you

hurt my feelings the beginning of a

beautiful friendship I'm illiterate

that's my girl Joey no real charm school

graduate how long you been managing her

about five years who handles your girl

no one yet that's why we came to LA

you're looking for someone who can do

the most with Jamie's multiple talented

where you guys from bjs in chicago

spotter doing a kickboxing class so

Jimmy Chi you know it's not a diamond in

the rough feel natural tell you what

when you a study want to put that

diamond on display let's talk time to

crack that whip

what are you staring at maybe a pot of

gold I mean nothing she's got to do more

than look good in the clothes Ricky boy

you call it friends PG thought about

this body Perez let me get hit by the

station to see if I was burning the

midnight oil and your first big case oh

and I wasn't you thought you'd come

after me and drag me back kicking and

screaming OH first I didn't go by the

station second I'm delighted to find you

heading home it means you make time for

a personal life and they're surprised

you Jim an ambitious woman in the

traditionally male-dominated profession

you bet and third I was hoping you'd let

me buy you dinner

[Music]

[Music]

hello anyone there

[Music]

you may be quick but my gun is quicker I

came in the back way I was supposed to

for Jimmy myself tonight well I guess

I'm safe for now so the press finds out

there's a back door anyway well between

you and me doll may have been a pioneer

in this board but she was a miserable

which I'm going to miss watching you

kick crap out of her thanks ah isn't

this sweet you to swap and beauty

secrets or just compare a broadside Oh

bitterness doesn't suit you Joey yeah

but that's the difference between you

and me centerfold I don't give a damn

what suits me clearly what you want to

get on the suit you know what I'll get

into any action as long as there's a

worthy opponent yeah whoa whoa whoa I

thought only men do bloco room brawls

now I should maybe the ones have another

fun

[Music]

[Music]

gori hates me I was just wonder if you

want to catch a movie here grab

something greasy like pizza something

else anyway call me I'm gonna hear how

things are going with the case and see

if you met the new daf William Blake

[Music]

he was a quote right Tiger Tiger burning

bright don't act so surprised I did go

to college well going to college and

remembering what you learned her two

different things everything about

becoming a lawyer actually yes right I

can ever told anybody that ever

oh you're smart tunisia and you love a

good argument you know me pretty well

yeah well enough

[Music]

sorry to bother you Sarge but those

prints just came back yep perfect match

no branches at home I'll have meet you

there breathe what the hell's going on

big mistake you're damn right you are

supposed to wait in the car you can stop

ducking arranged in order a black and

white Mia st. John you're under arrest

the murderer dog gifts you have the

right to remain silent anything you say

can and will be used against you in a

court of law I already told you so

perhaps I should have been detained in a

psychiatric facility because the average

person doesn't hide when they hear a

knock on the door what the hell's going

on here excuse me miss Davis I'm also a

lawyer we have evidence that it was your

client who poisoned dog Gibson what kind

of evidence Mia's prints from a powerade

bottle were a perfect match of the

sports bottle containing the cyanide was

this bottled by any chance black and

yellow may is lucky bottle the one that

you used for years is black and yellow

it's been missing since the day she

fought dog gibson zoo said it's just an

athlete superstition sergeant but the

first time he used that bottle was also

her first pro victory she never traveled

without it so are you suggesting that

the poison was intended for me but wound

up poison Ghul instead someone's been

stalking Mia for months I tried to get

her a bodyguard but she's refused how

many people know the significance of

this bottle everyone inside a sport most

of her fans do you think that dog gives

some weather stolen it or maybe somebody

from her corner just to psych me out

it's very possible look Mia believe it

or not I do understand the last thing

you need right now is for the press to

turn into some damsel in distress but

while we conduct this investigation

you're gonna need some protection

[Music]

friendly

you're not happy with this arrangement

good replying to save your life and you

like being helped I don't always like

the food for me hey watch me move it's

got great flexibility yeah back if I'd

love to get Jamie in the ring with you

but Nia needed a sparring partner and I

was hoping this my good CD to consider

handling her forget it Stevie spends all

of her time and energy on Mia why I left

her so Stevie was your manager Jill

should sign me yeah like is there an

insult in sports makes me sick well what

about Rick he's done well for you maybe

you could do the same for Jamie forget

it his dance card is full but now that

dolls gone he can finally focus entirely

on me

what my mother always told me and what I

always tell my kids big girls don't cry

they kick ass yeah but someone's trying

to kill you can you afford to appear

vulnerable to the people I trust oh and

how many of those are there look your

father skipped out on you when you were

young I grew up in abusive foster homes

we both had to learn to fight to survive

but maybe it's time you learn how to

know a friend when you see one okay I

have to admit after months of laying

awake at night jumping to every noise

and keeping my kids at my mom's house

ready for a change you help me with that

I'll turn you and so real foster

you got yourself a deal how long with

Stevie managing Joey before you left

selling asleep Phoebe Phoebe dump Joey

to manage me after working years

together I feel betrayed damn right I

felt betrayed and angry but it was still

the best thing that ever happened to me

how so Rick Roberts is better at

managing the kind of fighter i am which

is a real one not some calendar girl so

it bothers you that Mia is so attractive

the women who won the World Cup were

attractive but they were athletes first

women second a real fighter worries more

about the speed of her jab not whether

or not her lipstick clashes with her

trunk everybody knows the doll Gibson

out of the way the only thing standing

between you and the font life is when

your st. John me is my ticket into the

spotlight thanks to Stevie shameless

managing she's on the De La Hoya

undercard and guess who else is going to

be there to show the world what happens

when a cream puff goes up against the

real deal oh you're right I want her

blood on my hand but I want to do it on

HBO and for a whole lot of money sorry

come on TV you're on vacation I just

assume that you were sitting around

waiting for the phone to ring okay

regardless there hasn't been a formal

charge made yet which means there's

nothing concrete to report you think

that might be due to a cert distraction

in your life lately or it's just your

way of submitting a good relationship

between our department in the

prosecutor's office is that why you came

in today no was asked to buy buy me he

has more experience Corey so that way

you're here too because one babysitter

just isn't enough actually I called you

earlier an officer Harper kindly inform

me that another suspect was being

brought in somehow she guessed I'd be

interested in knowing that I want to let

me buy you a beer I want a beer teasing

one of a pull hi get on a hot be a big

she showed up unexpectedly all they did

was talk why won't anybody believe me

because we're all living vicariously

you've got the closest thing to a love

life and the entire department wow

that's really pathetic look what he did

today it was professional not personal I

am so sick of hearing that everything is

personal Chris told me that one right

after I made you sergeant over her maybe

we should have that beer come on

have you ever dated a guy who was

convinced he was okay with what you do

and then as a good stever he's

threatened by it Rick Robert we dated

almost a year Joey's manager was he

still boxing them well he had just

started managing and I just turned pro

it was obvious we wanted to control me

and not my career so why you signed with

Stevie and how badly did Rick take that

oh my god

[Music]

[Music]

you're not the only ones we abandon you

know buddy hasn't called me in weeks

isn't that cool anymore because I'm not

a bad ok you know it's funny because I

never thought of you is this

redecorating wine kind of dig again I've

changed perfect I bet you never thought

of me as the worst kind of guy before oh

my god give that man a prize the prize

that's not after what happened to laugh

oh don't be like that you'll find

somebody else come on mom no cameras

broken heart oh that is so beautiful I

think I'm gonna call it a movie

I gotta go oh sure you didn't deduce you

who knows maybe mr. Kendall da is more

rhythmic Griffin oh no no I need someone

I can trust I need some what happened I

can talk to about anything and sibley

friend

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Cory Cory wait good missing lieutenant

I'm sorry to bother you so early we just

couldn't get in touch with you or the

sergeant and well I know I guess your

phones aren't working and neither were

your beepers it seems kind of weird but

maybe you two are on the same system or

something whatever anyway there was a

little gunfire but don't worry no one

got hurt I thought maybe you should know

said all number yes Oh actually there's

one more tiny little thing the sergeant

was in such a hurry not only did she not

see me waving from my porch but she

chops it

do you want to give it back to her

orange line I know I'm supposed to be

quiet and listen but since you haven't

said anything in about five minutes I

guess I take this opportunity to tell

you you for one hell of a party

lieutenant in fact I know this great

cleaning services possibly enjoy this

any more than you already are nope but

not for the reasons that you think Joe

well I'm just glad to see that you're

human I was beginning to wonder was that

because I resisted all your obvious

attempts to seduce me yeah you saw

yourself short Monica she make a guy

work for it I'm just talking about the

sex talking about your trust your heart

Kenny guys not willing to work for that

it doesn't deserve you I know that I

don't think you do see what you wanted

for me wasn't me what you wanted was to

make a little monica misschien getting

good with the guy at the top look you're

a beautiful woman smart funny would you

come along and basically if you think

that I'm going to hurt the woman who's

been by my side since before you were in

in Katherine someone I trusted both on

and off the job someone I would give my

life for who'd had given her answer mine

every day was worth facing she was

ebony idea artist reading about

Granger I know that's why I didn't oh

sorry Granger a bad headache can we look

on the shooters car too dark too fast no

tired drives well check this how bobby

was right Rick Roberts's tattoos were

from prison but the prints from his

business guy came up clean that's

because he was a juvie but I did some

research made some phone calls found

someone who knew the story what was he

in for so the deadly weapon used a 38

same caliber as the slugs we pulled from

me his card thinking skills weapon of

choice I think we found more the motive

well I don't know if she was hurt or

what but I do know she's throwing in the

towel yeah me it was not a quitter she

is a single mother to kid she's got a

lot more at stake in just herself you

seem awfully happy about this hey I like

me I think she's a great fighter but

Stevie Neiman's dental client and I have

got a former model with a martial arts

background i think i can get Stevie her

guy that holds a grudge it's

unproductive he also said you had no

priors and that was a lie that was a

trick question lady you already knew the

answer and why did you run huh I'm an

ex-con with a nexus being stopped your

copy needs a suspect you do the math we

themselves it was stolen less than a

week ago I swear that's bull hey look my

fighter was poisoned last week and the

only thing I keep hearing about is how

it's under investigation everyone in

this room knows that cyanide was

intended for me what advanced races have

it in a water bottle Mia's water bottle

and somehow dog got a hold of it you

gave you that water bottle didn't you

hi

[Music]

senator Lisa Rick Roberts you know that

of course I did we discussed if he

actually values my opinion is that why

you haven't returned my calls my

officers are perfectly capable or

returning any of your costs I'm talking

about the personal ones you can't

separate them I can Corey guess you

can't neither care and respect to

somebody or you don't and you obviously

don't I do respect you for Ian I do care

why do you think I hunted you down this

morning wanted to apologize in person

lamppost you got one

[Music]

as you have to change your mind any

chance you can be with a woman who's

clearly a superior beyond

hey what are you doing here about to ask

you the same thing sorry well the 24

hours straight got a little job to wake

me up I had my people in lieutenant not

all you had with you you're kidding

right look Cory run into someone new

might not distract you from dealing with

what's happening with us but sooner or

later we need to talk about this nothing

is happening to see it happened it

shouldn't have but it did it was a

one-time drunken mistake among

commiserating friends well then as your

friend I need to tell you about the

other mistake you're making not just by

diving headfirst into something new like

a fuse of business or pleasure do you

see look in the mirror I'm not the one

who's confused here come on Cory you got

to admit that things have been weird you

want to stay that way no I go and I'm

sorry it's just that talking about it

right now we'd weird me out even more

[Music]

well whatever this mysterious thing is

that kept you up last night I'm

flattered that you stayed awake long

enough to hear my proposition and to

excessive stuff you're gonna rat me hell

baby I'm gonna make you a star the next

Mia st. John all right one day they'll

be comparing her to you so when you was

celebrate right after you agreed to my

one condition it's a joke to business

decisions a knife in the facts what it

is Robert Joey understand with me are

gone the sport needs someone to fill her

shoes Jamie's got what it takes look I'm

sorry Joe your great fighter you'll find

another manager what a hell

there's something I've been meaning to

tell you you picked the right shade

lipstick would go a long way

here we go one two come on out snap that

jab give me one two three there you go

champ job I think I'm going to sketch

the third round of crunches if you don't

mind okay okay I'm gonna go home then

you lock up when you finished it we go

[Music]

[Music]

hello hello

shouldn't use that every penny back to

the complexion is that a 38 in your hand

are you just happy to see me you know if

your skills were half as sharp as your

wit I'd almost understand Rick dropping

me for four like you [ __ ] do it for

the money I just do it for the fun what

do you got to gain by pissing me off a

lot less than you did if you were

succeeded in killing me in st. John's

but unfortunately Rick gave the fine i

have water to your friend killing her

instead isn't that just like a man

trying to help out without asking and

ruining a woman's plans Rick gave down a

water bottle so now what you're going to

try and kill me too I don't try I

succeed well you didn't succeed with Mia

sure I did she's left the game hasn't

she I'm not leaving anything until you

and I have finished this could ask your

mia can't do that Jamie my problem this

is not what we all agreed upon remember

just really how you want to take me down

why you don't think I'll shoot you she's

unarmed and you don't want to be

remembered as a coward do you what I

wanted to be with champion only it's

just a pretty girl to get what they want

isn't that right you want to be champion

you got to earn it yeah you think so

only no one was going to give me that

chance now say goodnight boxing Barbie

put the gun down Joey because whether or

not you pull that trigger your career is

finished oh really really

I'm a cop now put the damn gun down so

what she really meant to say is it after

tonight my life is over what she meant

it that you're under arrest gee I guess

women aren't the only ones who

manipulate people with their pretty

faces let me know when you're done

feeling sorry for yourself when I read

you your rights wait what about my

rights what are you talking about look

all I'm asking for is my shot and the

only place that matters to me in that

ring

sounds fair to me no no way we're

talking about a murderer here guys no we

are putting her under arrest and we are

bringing her in I say she gets her shot

excuse me but aren't you the one that

had the problem with chick boxy well

this really isn't about chick box and

Jay I mean we got our suspects we got

our piece of minds but once we like Joey

up unless we give me a shot now she'll

never get hers

[Music]

[Music]

yes there you go

Oh

[Music]

[Music]

Wow

[Music]

easy part was beating you hard part was

not killing you

[Music]

crews grain dhryn Strickland have all

been debriefed and filed their reports

and the police boxing League is called

four times begging for certificate and

Paul Joey Ramsey full confession should

make your boy happy

excuse the other to do tomorrow okay

[Music]

Cory could you just cut me a break here

I'm trying to get things back to the way

they were before and all I'm looking for

is a little bit of help JC before was

before and we're kind of stuck with

right now you know what now is yeah now

is the anniversary of your first date

with crisp a couple of weeks ago you

offered to take me out to dinner because

you didn't want me to be alone look I

admit I am handling this really really

badly because the one person I could

talk to about it is the same best friend

who's blowing me off and whose ex is the

guy I just left with and you have any

idea how guilty I feel I do worry which

is why I'm the one you need to talk to

the one you used to suck you before we

ever met first remember you said it

yourself that we would get through Chris

leaving together

[Music]

no if you see I haven't forgotten but

that one I almost forgot this is now and

we're stuck with now right or maybe when

I said those things I made a mistake or

maybe I didn't realize that there are

certain things in life you have to get

through alone your own way

[Music]

we bought you

and

[Music]

[Music]

hey

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]
