Oh, my God! Michael! Michael! Michael! Oh, my God! O.
K.
! I'm coming in! Oh, my God! We have to let him slide.
O.
K.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What the hell are you doing here? We were trying to save you! Flag him down! Get help! Stop! Stop! Please! What happened? A man is hurt! Please call 911! I'll call right away! Breathe, damn you! It's okay.
God.
Please, God! Oh, my God.
What have I done? Michael.
There's something I want to tell you Shouldn't say it outright But if there's someone who's there with you Then I think I just might Whisper it to the wind Who'll tell the stars to tell the rain But the rain won't want to tell you And the rain won't want you to know Well, I've got something to tell you Baby, yeah Comin' through, come on, guys.
Clear the hall.
Hey, I just heard Michael's in serious trouble.
What happened? Car accident.
His vitals are fine but he's not waking up.
Help me get him to CAT scan.
You got it.
Well, your x-rays look good, no serious injuries.
I guess somebody up there likes you.
Must be my lucky day.
Are you O.
K.
? Just terrific.
I don't understand why I'm alive and Michael's nearly dead.
How'd this happen, Megan? I told Michael what you were going to do.
We drove out to stop you and we started arguing.
All those lies, I told him everything.
I was so afraid to lose him, I-I grabbed him, he swerved, and your car was there.
You really screwed up, didn't you? This was your game, not mine.
Yeah, and if you'd played it right, Michael would still be walking and I'd be out of my misery.
You dragged me into this.
I didn't wanna have any part of it.
I didn't want to know what you were going to do.
Why did you even tell me? Because I thought you were my friend.
I am.
Do you think a friend would just let you die like that? I couldn't, all right? Look neither could Michael.
Michael cares about you, and so do I.
Don't you get it? Oh, aren't you sweet? There you go.
Breakfast of champions.
You got your fiber and then you got your fresh fruit.
You got your diamond engagement ring.
You didn't.
Oh It's beautiful.
Here.
Put it on.
Oh! I must be retaining water.
That's O.
K.
We can have it sized.
Listen, I gotta go.
Um I'm meeting a new supplier at Shooters.
Oh.
O.
K.
I'll see you tonight? Finish your breakfast, okay? Remember, you're eating for two.
W-w-what's that? Oh, socks, pajamas.
Mostly stuff I don't care about getting wrinkled.
Well, why are you bringing them here? I'm moving in.
What does it look like? I don't want you as a roommate.
I'm glad we agree on that.
You can find a place in a couple days, can't you? Aw, heck.
Take a week.
What are you talking about? Jane said that I could keep the apartment.
Well, I know for a fact that your name's not on the lease, and I just had Amanda transfer my security deposit to this unit, so it's mine now.
Oh, no no no.
I've signed the papers, so you're really out of luck.
We'll see about that.
It's not James' decision.
It's not yours, either.
Amanda, don't listen to her.
Make it snappy, you two.
I've got to go to work and a funeral.
It's already turning into a long day.
Jane said Jane's gone.
Sydney wants that space and you're not on the lease.
But Sydney's apartment is open now, so you're welcome to apply for it.
Well, I can't afford first and last.
I can barely afford rent by myself.
Well, you can pay the deposit over time.
You still have a job, don't you? Actually, I was thinking about cutting back her hours.
Then I can't afford any place, then.
Well, in that case, it was nice having you as a tenant.
Share the wealth, brother.
I could use a good meal.
This is the officer's mess, butt wipe.
If I'm the wipe, you're the butt.
It's "butt wipe, sir!" Sir! Butt sir! All right.
Where have you been, man? I've been around, here and there.
Let me look at you.
I just got into town.
Where are you gonna stay? Staying with you, buddy, just like old days.
Semper fi, huh? Yeah.
Hey, sweetheart, look who's here.
Hey, Nick.
Good to see you.
Come out to the bar, soldier.
Buy you a drink.
Little early in the day for a drink, isn't it, baby? It's a special occasion.
I want him gone by the morning.
Look, I know Nick has had his trouble in the past.
There's nobody I'd rather have watching my back in a firefight.
Desert Storm is over.
He goes when he's ready to go.
Kyle: Nick? Nick: Hey! Ha ha! Sydney: Why do you even work here? Oh, so now you're going to fire me.
Believe me, I would love to, if only Jane hadn't insisted that I keep you.
But feel free to quit.
Oh, no, no.
I don't think I could give you the satisfaction.
Sydney? Hi.
You ready for lunch? Oh, yeah.
Where are we going? It's it's a surprise, sort of a Meals on Wheels kind of thing.
Anything to get out of here.
If you're not gonna quit, why don't you close up at the end of the day! I'm going to take a very long lunch.
Where's your limo? Madam, your coach.
No way.
Ha ha! You chartered this entire bus just for us? All right, we're going to go see all the movie stars' homes.
And we get to see Marilyn's bungalow.
Too cool.
Plus, bologna sandwiches.
Ah! But first I have a favor to ask you.
Don't tell me you want me to dress up like Marilyn.
No.
Ha! I want you to come to San Francisco with me tomorrow.
To do what? To to escape from my life, to break the shackles of slavery to the company.
To strike a blow for freedom, at least for the weekend.
Right.
I'll bet this bus doesn't even make it to Wilshire before Walter calls with some business deal.
No, no, you see, here's the thing about that, okay? Walter doesn't know I'm going.
He's not going to know where I am.
And that is a revolt I can support.
Consider me your willing accomplice.
I am Spartacus.
Whoa! I've never seen a funeral go on for so long.
Those eulogies were endless.
A lot of people admired my father.
People were afraid of him.
You know that better than anyone.
Yeah.
I was so afraid that I killed him.
Craig, he had a heart attack.
He died instantly.
You're off the hook.
Self-pity is purely optional.
Don't you ever take a day off from being Amanda Woodward? Sometimes, but I usually regret it.
Why don't we split up today's messages? I can't deal with work today.
Guess that leaves me.
Peter.
Oh, hi, Amanda.
What are you doing here? I well, I came by to let you know that I rented a condo down at the marina.
I wanted to get you this address and phone number, you know, for your mailbox.
Oh.
You could have called me with this.
Oh! Well, yeah, I just I wanted to see you.
I've been pretty busy at the hospital lately and we really haven't talked much or touched base, so I or traded numbers.
This feels so permanent.
Oh, no! It's just a month-to-month thing.
You know, nothing's written in stone.
So, you know, if you want to get together or Oh.
That's I.
C.
U.
Michael was in a car wreck last night.
You're kidding.
Is he O.
K.
? He's got a concussion.
There's no telling how serious.
I should probably get to him now.
You can use my phone.
Oh, no, I'll just I'll call on the way.
O.
K.
It's good to see you, Amanda.
Um give a call sometime.
Michael shouldn't be dying.
This isn't fair.
None of this makes any sense.
Megan: Yeah, well, life doesn't have to make sense, Kimberly.
You know, sometimes you just have to play the hand you're dealt and do the best you can.
Well, that's easy to say when you've got your whole life ahead of you.
Oh? And what does Michael have? Kimberly, this time, it isn't about you or your plans or your illness, O.
K.
? It's about somebody that I love.
Peter, how is he? I've got no breath sounds on this side.
Pressure's gone.
Looks like internal bleeding.
He's got a collapsed lung.
I need a number 10 blade and a chest tube.
I'm losing his pulse.
Yes, Doctor.
Scalpel.
Try a piggyback dopamine.
Chest tube.
Pressure 40 over 30, dropping.
Respiration 20.
We're losing him.
Pulse ox 5.
All right.
Let's get this hooked up stat.
Yes, Doctor.
Not looking good here.
We're hooked up.
What's the pulse ox? Flatline.
Paddles, charge to 300 I know this place.
Where is everybody? Michael? Help me.
Please help me.
Kimberly.
What's going on? Come this way.
I need you to be here beside me.
Are you sure about this? Megan: Michael, don't do it.
Stay with me.
You don't belong down there.
She's just seducing you.
I'm your soul mate forever.
Michael, it's our time together now.
Michael, you can't go.
You can't go with Megan! This is about Michael.
He's dying.
Listen, what happened, happened.
It was an accident.
Yeah, but if he hadn't been out there trying to save my life It's out of our hands now.
Can you forgive me? He's back! All right, we got a pulse.
Check his pressure.
Michael's going to be fine.
Oh, my God.
That was so cool! That your first time in a helicopter? Of course it was.
So this is where you grew up? Yep.
It's pretty pathetic, huh? No.
No, it's sweet.
It's It's very salt-of-the-earth.
Carter: Yeah, salt-of-the-earth.
Sydney: Yeah.
This is where it all started.
What, the Industrial Revolution? Carter: Yeah, right.
This is where I took apart my very first Atari.
I wanted it to be more real.
But then again, reality has never quite lived up to my fantasies.
I never had any fantasies.
I just trailed along behind Jane, grabbing at her leftovers when she wasn't looking.
Now, that doesn't sound like very much fun.
It was.
It was like discovering abandoned treasure.
I love that about you.
What? Just the way that you can make your own fun with whatever's you know, in front of you.
Like you? That your helicopter out there? Well, move it! You're scaring my chickens.
Billy: Hey, honey.
Need some help? Samantha: Oh you don't know the half of it.
Syd's gone for the weekend, I'm here all alone, plus, she's kicking me out of Jane's apartment.
She can't do that.
Tell Amanda.
Amanda's letting her.
Jane didn't put me on the lease.
Well, you have squatter's rights.
Squatter's what? Amanda knows you've been living there and she's been allowing it.
So she can't kick you out now.
Really? Yeah.
It's like a tenant issue.
You should totally get a lawyer.
Actually, I do know one.
I hope he's not too expensive.
As a matter of fact, he is very expensive, but he owes me a favor.
How so? Well, he's sort of an ex.
The ex you came here with? Ah, don't worry, Billy.
He's nothing to me except a very good lawyer.
So, I was driving around yesterday.
It was a detour, I took a wrong turn, and there it was.
Alison: Oh I'm telling you, like, it's destiny.
This is our place.
Oh, Jake.
I don't know if I'm ready for this.
It's got a great yard, and it's really inexpensive.
But what about our lease with Amanda and our friends at the building? I'm sure Amanda would let us sublet our place, and our friends could visit us here.
This this is a home.
Wait till you see the kitchen Wait! This isn't about decor.
This is about our life.
O.
K.
All my life I told myself that if I ever had a kid, growing up would be different for him.
Well, I did become a dad, and guess what? I blew it.
I couldn't handle it.
I ran away from everything.
Well, this is a chance for me to do it again.
This is a chance for me to do it right with a yard and a fence and Jake, we could make our life together anywhere, any life we want.
Yeah, but this is the way I see it.
Ow.
Oh, thank God you're awake.
Listen, what happened? We hit Kimberly's car.
You got a concussion and a collapsed lung.
Peter saved your life.
Are are you O.
K.
? Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm so sorry I lied to you.
No, no, no, I I understand.
You were trying to help Kimberly.
She did fine after the accident.
You saved her life by running into her.
She pulled me.
In my dreams, she was pulling me down.
It wasn't a dream she did.
She pulled you from the wreckage.
No, no, no.
She was pulling me into hell.
It's the tumor.
It makes her crazy.
She wanted to kill both of us.
Oh, come on, Michael.
She doesn't want you to die.
Kimberly's been sacrificing herself for you ever since I met her.
Yeah, yeah, how do you figure that? Well, for one thing, when she couldn't have sex, she gave me to you as a gift.
She was just feeling guilty.
Look, if you want to be upset with someone, be upset with me for the lies that I've told you and the secrets that I've kept.
But, listen, don't take it out on Kimberly.
She loves you.
Yeah.
She almost loved me to death.
Well, the clock is ticking.
In a few weeks she'll be gone forever.
It will be too late to make up, and then all you'll be left with is a lifetime of regret.
You gotta be there for her.
Every last day she has, be there for her.
Forgive her.
You know, in my dream, when Kimberly was dragging me into hell, it was you who saved me.
Easy.
Easy Hello? Hi, Peter.
It's me.
I just wanted to find out how Michael was doing.
He's fine.
I mean, he's annoying as ever, but I'll probably send him home in a couple days.
Good, good.
I'm glad.
So, was there anything else? Um no.
I just needed to hear a friendly voice.
Oh.
Well, I can be as friendly as you want.
I don't know what I want, Peter.
How about an immediate reconciliation? Don't push it.
Gotcha.
Well then, how about a little late-night dinner conversation? Make it breakfast.
I'll bring it to your place around 9:00? I know where you live now, remember? Right.
Well, I'll be waiting.
Grrrah! You're too old and too Grrrah! You lose! You cheated, man! No, I didn't cheat.
Eat up! Aww! Think we need more beer.
I'll go get some.
You stay here and clean up before we get tossed out on the streets.
Place is kind of small for wrestling, don't you think? Boys will be boys.
So how long are you planning on staying, Nick? I don't know.
I'm starting to like it here.
Well, L.
A.
's a real tough town to break into, you know.
Hey, you're the one who dragged my man out to La-La Land.
I'm just looking after him.
He can take care of himself.
And I don't want you distracting him right now.
The restaurant needs his full concentration.
It needs both ours.
I'll stay out of your way.
You stay out of mine.
Oh, I'd never get in your way, Nick, unless I had to.
Don't be so jumpy, sugar.
Just going out for some air.
Very nice.
I hate it.
All this furniture's rented and, I mean, all these paintings, you know, they all look manufactured, and I don't know.
Just feels like a Like a hotel.
Yeah.
Well I've been spending a lot of time at D D these days, which is at least one step below that.
Well, I guess that's life in the fast lane for 2 high-powered aces like us.
Pretty lame.
Pretty lonely.
Um, we should probably start eating breakfast.
I've got a full day ahead.
Yeah.
So do I.
Listen, I hope you brought some tableware.
I really don't have any around here yet.
Oh.
I hadn't thought of that.
What are you thinking about? I really should get going.
What about breakfast? I'll take a rain check.
Amanda! Stay in touch.
I'll call you.
You were totally close to this guy.
You sure you want me to come along? Yes, I'm sure.
It was your idea to get a lawyer in the first place.
Besides, if he asks questions about the building, you can answer them.
Well, what's he like? He's like a slick attorney.
He worships money, he kisses up to anyone who can help him advance.
He's oily and smarmy and he wears these incredibly pretentious expensive Italian suits.
O.
K.
Oh, good evening.
Meeting party here? Kenny.
Yes, Sam! Come here.
It is so great to see you, ohh! And you must be Billy.
Yeah.
All right.
Kenny Jackson.
How are you? Great.
Sam told me what a great guy you are.
I'm really glad we're finally getting to meet like this.
So am I.
You look healthy.
Fit as a fiddle.
Yeah, I'm treating myself now and everybody else a lot better these days.
So, um, you still working at that Century City law firm? No, no no.
You were totally right.
That was the wrong path for me.
I'm working at a storefront legal clinic now.
Just trying to earn back my soul.
Get outta town! Why haven't you called me? Too embarrassed.
I behaved so badly with Sam.
I can't believe you got back in touch with me.
I think she just needs some legal advice.
Right, yeah, she told told me the whole problem over the phone.
You know, what I don't get is why don't you two just move in together at Billy's place? I mean, you got a lease, don't you? Yeah.
I mean, Sam and I, we got our own place after, what was that, three weeks together? Four four, I think.
Yeah.
Four, maybe.
Haven't you two been together that long? No.
Not exactly.
Yeah.
Well, no matter.
We'll get this whole thing all straightened out.
How about some wine first, yeah? All right.
Yeah.
Loosens things up, whether we're whispering words of love or contract law.
Sydney: No, I've always wanted to go to Alcatraz.
As a tourist, I mean.
Well, I'll tell you something.
You are a lot better-looking than Ma Barker.
Oh I feel like a kid.
I have not had a day to just play like this since I rented Ringling Brothers.
A whole circus? Yeah.
I kind of needed some cheering up at the time.
Yeah.
I heard about breaking up with your last girlfriend.
How did you hear about that? Walter mentioned something.
Yeah.
Yeah, I did have a girlfriend.
But, um you see, the thing is, is the more serious we got the more she wanted me to change, to, um, grow up.
So I tried, but then I had trouble creating my computer games, which, of course, the kid in me makes.
So What happened? I started having real trouble with work, and so she left me.
What a jerk.
Her, I mean.
Yeah, I guess.
See, the problem is I'm still creatively blocked.
Walter mentioned that, too.
Oh.
Is there anything that he didn't mention? How would I know if he didn't mention it? You know, you are quite the diplomat.
I've been called a lot of things, but never a diplomat.
I warn you I am really out of practice.
It's O.
K.
I'm a very good teacher.
Kenny: Well, this was really great.
I can't tell you how glad I am you called.
So am I.
Yeah.
Me, too.
I can fix your apartment thing up in no time.
That is such a relief.
It's a done deal.
No, look, I got it.
No I got it.
You trumped me.
Well, listen, I got to get going.
Oh, I'll keep you company while the valet gets your car.
Billy? Yeah.
I'll just wait here for the check.
Good to meet you, Billy.
Yeah, you too.
Thanks for dinner.
Yeah.
Peter: One more.
Come on.
There, it sounds good.
I want to keep you a couple more days, though.
Yeah, well, I'm leaving tomorrow whether you like it or not.
Well, are you going to be home alone or will there be someone there to keep an eye on you? I'm staying with Megan from now on.
She's coming to see me this evening, so I can tell her what to do.
All right.
So if you get dizzy, I want her to lay you flat.
And if you Hey, hey, hey! I'm a doctor, remember? Yeah.
And I expect you to start seeing patients in our office Monday.
So, please, Michael, don't blow it by acting macho for your latest babe.
Kimberly.
That's O.
K.
, Peter.
Acting macho is like breathing for Michael.
He won't even break a sweat.
Well, I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about.
Hey, Peter, before you go, well, I just want to thank you.
Saving your life, Michael? I didn't even break a sweat.
How are you feeling? Pretty good, except I hurt all over.
How are you feeling? Lousy? Listen, Kimberly, I'd like to say something.
No.
Don't say anything.
Let me talk first, please.
If I don't get this out all at once, I'm afraid I'm going to fall apart.
O.
K.
When I found out I was dying, I tried to cut you off.
I went to a lot of trouble pushing you away because I was scared that you would leave me, and now I realize that I can ask for help.
So I'm going to do the scariest thing of all and I'll ask you to spend time with me at the beach house, as much time as you can these last few weeks.
And to be with me while I die.
We covered a lot of ground over the last few years, haven't we? Hard to believe the story's ending.
Not your story, Michael.
Just mine.
Yeah.
Well, don't you worry.
I'm going to see you through with it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
O.
K.
Hey.
What time is it? I thought you were trying to get away from business this weekend.
No, you see, this is not business.
Okay? This is fun.
I'm I'm I'm unblocked.
I figured out the glitch in that game I couldn't finish.
Cool.
And I unblocked you.
We need to get right back to L.
A.
But don't we have one more day? Hang around and play? O.
K.
We can probably still catch the first flight out.
Hey, Sam.
Oh, hi, Billy.
I'm glad I caught you.
Yeah.
Thank you so much for making me see a lawyer.
I just know that he's gonna help me save my apartment.
Yeah, actually, we should talk about that, 'cause I was thinking that maybe you don't need to save it.
You know, maybe Maybe we could, uh Got it! This is gonna make your landlord think twice about evicting you here.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Gosh, I had no idea it could happen so fast.
Yeah, neither did I.
That's cool.
I'll see ya.
Billy! Amanda, I would like for you to meet my lawyer, Kenny Jackson.
Hi.
This is a copy of the tenants' rights act.
And this is a subpoena initiating action against retaliatory eviction.
Oh.
O.
K.
Um you can stay in the apartment if you sign a lease.
But Sydney's already signed, so you have to be roommates.
Well, I gotta run now, O.
K.
? Talk to you later.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Oh, Sydney, you look kinda down.
Something go wrong in San Francisco? Uh, I'm not sure.
Uh, Sam signed a lease, Sydney, so you'd better work it out.
No way! 'Fraid so.
If you want, you can stay in your old apartment, and I'll just let Sam stay put.
No! That was Jane's place.
It was meant to be mine.
She always wanted it to be mine.
I mean, it's a matter of principle, not to mention it's a much nicer apartment.
It's not a debate, Sydney.
It's a decree.
Thought you might like some nourishment.
Hey.
No.
No, thanks.
I'm not really hungry.
How did the legal stuff go with Amanda? Kenny had her wrapped around his little finger.
He was fantastic! You're really getting a soft spot for these smooth operators, aren't you? What do you mean? Well, Craig and Kenny.
It's like there's a pattern starting to emerge.
No.
Kenny's changed.
Right into sheep's clothing.
He's my lawyer! Like you weren't all over him at dinner? Look, you don't have to be jealous.
You're my guy.
Carter, you have to Oh.
It's you.
I'm here to see Carter.
Are you, now? Mm-hmm.
Oh, I take it you did sleep with him this weekend.
Well was it as good for you as it was for the corporation? I am sure that is none of your business.
And, speaking of business your services will no longer be required.
I have already told you my relationship with Carter has nothing to do with money.
I like him.
I don't like you.
Where is he? What are you doing? Let go of me! Protecting the company.
Carter's breakthrough will carry us through two more years, at least.
And you'd just be a distraction at this point.
You're already too big an influence.
That is ridiculous.
Take her home, please.
What is Let go of me! Carter! Hey what's all the commotion? Sydney was just here trying to extort us, I'm afraid.
What are you talking about? I didn't want to tell you this, but Sydney's been demanding money to be with you, Carter.
And, up until now, I've given in.
That's ridiculous.
These are the checks I've issued.
But don't you worry about anything.
She won't be coming around here anymore.
She was insisting on a huge payment for this weekend's services, and I had to cut her off.
Services? Wa-wait a minute.
We had a great weekend together.
We we have so much in common.
She's obviously been researching your life.
It was all a part of her plan to cash in on making you love her.
I don't believe this.
Carter, the best advice I can give you is to focus on your first love Your computer games.
Hi.
Hey.
You been waiting long? No, I just got here.
I brought some soup.
How is she feeling? Restless, but she's finally asleep.
Oh, my God, that's my goal in life.
All right, come on.
Let's go home.
O.
K.
Oh, Megan.
I heard voices.
I'm so glad it's you.
Kimberly, how are you feeling? A little shaky, actually.
Let's get you back in bed.
Wait.
Um I just wanna ask both of you if it would be all right if Michael spent the night? It would just mean so much to me to know that he's here just, you know, just to get settled.
Of course.
Whatever you need.
I knew I could count on you.
I'm just gonna go back to bed and let you two say good night.
So, it's, um, it's just one night, right? Oh, absolutely.
I'll be home after work tomorrow.
So you're not gonna, like, you know, sleep with her? Well, no, no! Of course not.
I'll be on the couch.
You know, Megan, there are not many women that would be so giving.
Well, I owe Kimberly.
She gave me a lot, once, you know.
She gave me you.
It's just hard that what you can do for her now is to stay, and what I can do is to leave.
Yeah.
Kimberly: Michael? Yeah.
Well I better get going.
Thanks.
Michael, is that you? Yeah.
I'm right here, babe.
Could you just hold me? Sure.
It's gonna be O.
K.
now.
It's gonna be O.
K.
