Original subtitles

Hi, hon.

Listen, I'm gonna be late

picking you up for Matt's dinner.

There's been an accident or something.

Traffic is really backed up.

Yeah, well, don't worry about it.

I got stuck on E.R. rotation at the last minute,

so I'm socked in for the night.

Oh, no. Matt's gonna be so disappointed.

Yeah. Listen, uh, Jane, I was thinking

of hiring a professional to find Taylor and the baby, you know?

I got a few names. Uh...

Michael,

we've been through this.

Taylor wanted it this way.

He's my son, too, you know?

Thanks.

Besides, you know, I'm-I'm... I'm getting the impression

that-that-that... that you don't even want me to find the kid,

like-like, you're almost happy he's gone.

Why are we having this conversation again?

I mean, you're gonna do what you want no matter what I say.

You know, I'm doing this for us.

Well, half of us wants to have our own child.

Listen, Michael, I got to go.

There's too much traffic to talk and drive.

I'll-I'll tell Matt that you said hi.

- Jane, don't hang up. - Yeah, let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

- Yeah, I got it. Okay. - Okay.

- Keep it moving. - Yeah, I see the source...

Everyone in this hypocritical,

sanctimonious world is out to drown you,

rip your legs off, pull you under

and make you feel like you're worthless.

If you're gonna stay afloat...

you have to be the toughest shark in the sea.

Got to bite first, fast and often,

and kill the scum suckers before they know what hit 'em.

I don't know.

Whatever Coop did...

Coop.

Honey, he's the least of your problems right now.

The world is out to get us.

Well, maybe, but you know, when I've got a man in my life, it...

Honey, the last thing you need right now

is another man in your life.

Hey. -Good evening.

Great. Just what I needed.

You know what?

This party I'm supposed to go to... it's for Matt Fielding.

He used to live in the building.

Are you sure you don't want to come?

Well, Megan, it's sort of a question of, "Matt, who?"

- Peter. - Lexi.

- Love the hair. - Didn't do it for you.

- Wow. - Oh, what's with her?

She hates my guts.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.

Come on, let's sit down.

- Peter, you sit there. - All right.

Kyle, did I mention that I'm calling in sick tonight?

Well, you got the day off anyway.

My, a man being nice. That's a change.

You know what?

It's too bad that you're taken.

Okay.

Well, Megan, it's too bad about Coop. You know,

didn't help the practice, either, him leaving like that.

Oh, men leaving... that's the story of my life, you know?

Where the hell is Matt?

You know, I'm gonna grab a bottle of wine, get us started.

Yeah, that Matt... He's always on time, isn't he?

I mean, always right, too, Matt.

It's like having your conscience right in front of you.

Not that that's such a... a great thing.

Hey, guys, sorry I'm late.

Michael got held up at the hospital.

He's not gonna make it.

So, what did I miss?

Well, we're just kind of going

down memory lane here,

telling stories about Saint Matt.

Oh, I got a great one.

Everybody was new in the building.

I had just had a miscarriage.

And talk about transference, I got a dog,

which, of course, I lost.

Come on, Jimmy. Good boy, good boy.

I mean, we take it all for granted, you know?

I mean, I think it's our generation,

or may-maybe everyone who's ever been young,

but we get so consumed with ourselves, our problems,

and it's always in a big hurry.

I know. It's so easy to, though.

Matt, do you realize this is the first really terrible thing

that's ever happened to me?

I mean, my parents are still alive, my grandparents.

I've never known anyone who's ever died.

I mean, personally.

Like anything could really prepare you.

No.

You know what the truth is?

The truth is, the only good men are gay men.

- So where is he anyway? - Excuse me.

Amanda, there's a call for you at the bar.

It's Dr. Mancini.

Oh, maybe Michael can make it after all.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Michael, coming to the party?

Um... no.

No, uh... I'm not.

Uh...

it's Matt.

What about him?

He's been in an accident.

He was killed.

Uh, I see. Um...

You better tell the others.

Yeah, I will, all right.

Um... of course.

Jane?

Thank you.

That's good.

Hey, what is it? What's wrong?

It's Matt.

He's dead.

Oh.

It's always the same thing.

Amanda looks at me

the way she did when we were first married.

There's trust in her eyes.

She's happy.

Then I wake up.

Peter, you've got to move on.

And you've got to fix that scratch in your CD, huh?

I mean, over and over, you keep saying the same thing.

Friend died last night in a car accident.

And I deal with this sort of thing every day,

but when it's someone that you know,

you have a tendency to look at your own life, you know?

If Amanda and I have this connection,

if we complete each other, than whatever I've done,

or whatever I try to do to get us together,

well, that's noble.

Peter, you've been through a trauma with Amanda recently,

which has brought you closer together,

but you can't misinterpret her gratitude.

Oh, give me a break, Doc. This isn't gratitude.

This is a commitment we're talking about here.

I'm telling you, the woman still loves me.

Only in your dreams, Peter.

I'm so sorry, honey.

Oh, man, so am I.

I spent that whole night

in the E.R. after I had Matt on the table, and I...

I don't remember any of it.

You know? There...

Nothing I could do.

Oh.

Nothing.

Then I had to call his mother,

tell her that, um,

you know, her son died.

And she came by later, and...

Ooh, that was rough.

You know, um...

Jane, I...

I thought about what you said, about the baby,

and, uh, you were right.

And in a crazy way, so is... so is Taylor.

But, um...

were you serious

when you were talking about us having our own baby?

Of course I was.

Well, then, let's do it.

Let's start over, 'cause it would be the...

only, uh, honest, solid, true thing in our lives.

Michael, I want that, too.

Then...

will you please marry me again, Jane?

This time forever.

Are you serious?

Yes, Michael. Yes, I will.

Oh. Oh, my God.

Hey, six is my lucky number.

Oh, stop.

Oh, Doctor, there are two people

waiting for you in your office.

Mr. Beck and Amanda Woodward.

Together? In the same room?

I believe that's what I said.

- At least. - Oh, my gosh, don't even say that.

- Hi. - Peter, hi.

Um, I was just getting to know your friend, Mr. Beck.

You know what? If you two have a meeting,

- we can do lunch another time. - Oh, no, no, no.

I'm just a delivery boy today. Peter,

here are the papers you wanted returned.

Amanda, it's been pleasant spending a few minutes with you.

Peter speaks of you often.

Thank you. It's nice to meet you.

Hope all is well.

- Thank you. - Bye.

Bye.

If we're gonna do lunch, we better hurry.

I'm working overtime to try to make back that ransom money.

- Ready to go? - Yeah.

Just, uh, put these files away here real quick.

Yeah.

Ooh, I'm hungry.

Hey, Charlie,

I didn't okay all this work.

It was in the bid.

Okay, let me put it another way: I can't pay for all this work.

Well, that's your problem.

I need a check by the end of the day.

Hey, Kyle. I like what you're doing with the place.

If I was gonna change anything, honey, I'd start with the music.

Be right back.

Hey, Megan.

Lexi, what are you doing here?

Came to see you.

How about a cup of coffee?

No, no.

I just, um, I want your attention.

Look, my company is finally

out of tax trouble, and I was thinking about taking it

in a new direction: adding advertising to the mix.

Advertising, huh?

Yeah, that's what I used to do

before I married Coop and settled for the boring existence

of a neglected doctor's wife.

Anyway, that aside,

I started thinking that you and I

would make a fabulous team.

Wait a minute,

you want me to work for you?

I will take my father's stodgy old holding company

and turn it into a hungry beast,

put us both back on easy street.

Look, I appreciate the offer, really, but...

Come on, it's not like you're a novice.

You did work for Eric Baines

when he owned Amanda's company, right?

And honey, two smart, good-looking women like us

will make a mint.

Thanks, honest, but...

but not.

I'm not giving up, Megan.

Kyle, you can get another waitress, can't you?

Would you talk some sense into her.

She's got a point, especially these days.

This place is hardly the road to riches.

You know what,

if I have learned anything lately,

it's that money is not important.

Love is.

Talking about Coop?

I think Coop was just a way to avoid Michael.

You know, Michael's the one that saved my life, the one I lost.

No jobs can replace him.

Yes?

Can I help you?

- Mrs. Fielding? - Yes.

I'm Amanda Woodward.

I-I was a friend of your son's.

I own the building where he used to live.

Yes.

Anyway, um, I wanted to come

and give my condolences in person.

Everyone in the building loved Matt,

and we wanted to know

if there was anything that we could do.

No, there isn't.

Well, um, if it's all right,

we-we'd like to come to the funeral.

No, it's not all right.

The services are for family only.

Oh, I understand, but in a way, we were Matt's family, too.

I, uh,

I have something for you.

They found it in his car.

It's, um,

it's a kind of journal he kept.

It's all about you

and your friends.

Nothing about his family,

of course.

At any rate,

keep it.

Good-bye.

Oh...

I'm glad you found something to laugh about.

You would not believe what Matt wrote about in this journal.

It's like reading a trashy novel,

except you know all the people.

I mean, what Michael did,

I can't believe he told Matt about it.

I don't have time right now, sweetheart.

Staring at poverty here.

I know that we mortgaged everything to get me free.

No, it's not just that.

I got construction costs,

I got a letter that Taylor's lawyer sent me

demanding the buy-out money I promised her.

I'm sorry.

What can I do?

Well, you cannot say you're sorry.

You know, who knows?

Maybe the cops will do their job.

They'll find out who kidnapped you.

We'll get our money back.

I guess we just got to be patient.

In the meantime, I have a way to cheer you up.

Want to hear Michael's secret?

I'll pass.

Well, what about a Taylor secret about Peter?

I know more secrets about Taylor than I care to know.

You're right.

It's just what she said to Matt and his analysis of it.

You know what, I was thinking,

maybe Peter needs another woman to focus on.

Peter...

What is he hassling you again?

Oh, no, just the opposite.

He's been terrific.

We even had lunch today.

It's just, he's still so intense.

Yeah, well, I got a way to take care of that.

Why? When Lexi can do it.

She's perfect for him.

If only they could find their way back to each other.

So, what is it, you're playing matchmaker for him now?

It's just a thought.

Yeah, well, you know what,

it's been a very long day.

I'm gonna take a shower.

And if you can pull yourself away from this journal,

uh, I'll meet you in the bedroom.

So, Matt, what other secrets do you have in here?

Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

Damn.

I'm sorry about last night.

I'm worried about the money, too.

I'm just trying to keep my agency afloat.

So, you couldn't put it down, either.

Did you read the whole thing?

- No, just the pages with my name on it. - Mm-hmm.

I have to say, you're the last person

I expected to find in there.

Yeah.

I definitely should have said something.

A flesh and blood brother and you never even mentioned him?

Yeah, you could have said something.

More important, why didn't you?

Mm, because it was a disaster.

But now that I think about it,

almost everything Taylor was involved with ended up that way.

Oh, son of a bitch.

I just had a little talk with Taylor; she's pretty upset.

Well, so am I, at the moment.

Admit it, little brother, you slept with her, didn't you?

- Is that what she told you? - Yeah, that's what she told me

and I trust my wife, so what are you gonna do?

You gonna lie? You gonna deny it?

- I'm waiting. - Just let it the hell go, all right?

I'll tell you what happened.

You give me the truth.

You were working.

We were drinking.

Apparently, you guys were having a problem

with some waitress or something because Taylor,

she made a serious pass at me, Kyle.

I mean, taking off her clothes and stuff.

And I said, "No way."

I said I would never do that you.

But she kept at me.

And I swear to God, I didn't touch her.

I got up, I got the hell out of there.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I mean, if that's what really happened,

why didn't you come to me first?

Because I didn't want to embarrass you, Kyle.

You married a tramp, bro.

I don't have a brother anymore.

We're through.

He was telling the truth, your brother.

Taylor was nuts, she probably did lie.

Yeah, he probably was,

but it was a long time ago, ancient history.

Well, the way you told that story,

you made it sound like it was yesterday.

We were close growing up.

We fought a lot, but you know, that's brothers.

Man, I accused him, I shut him out.

I can't talk to him.

I wouldn't know what to say.

Well, I guess Matt taught us one thing:

nothing stays buried forever.

Peter, listen to me, I'm telling you,

Matt had this journal,

and he wrote down everything we told him.

Michael, before you pop an artery

right in front of me here, how do you know this

for a fact?

Well, I called his mother to see how she was doing.

She told me she gave the journal to Amanda.

Amanda?

Oh, what was I thinking? I should have mentioned her name

in the first place; it's the only way to get your attention

these days.

So, what's Amanda doing with it?

She's reading it, of course.

What else would she be doing?

Peter, look, it's not like I have anything

left to hide, but in a weak moment,

who knows what I told Matt?

Oh, no, no, you may be right here, Michael.

It could be a bad situation

for a lot of people.

- After you. - Look, save the niceties,

Amanda, and get to the point.

You made it sound like an emergency.

What did you do, drop the ball on a campaign ad or something?

I thought we should have a meeting

to clear up the bad blood between us.

There's no reason we can't be allies instead of enemies.

No reason?

- No. - Mmm,

let me see...

I got it; how about stealing my husband-to-be

when you already had one of your own?

Oh, that's just it.

Peter's the one who's confused, it's not me.

Yeah, well, he's in love with you,

- and he's pretty clear on that point. - No,

it's a fixation, and it's not mutual.

I am very, very happy with Kyle.

Honey, Peter needs to hear that, not me.

Well, he has.

The truth is

I think you're the right woman for him.

Really?

Oh, go on.

This is fascinating.

Well, I was thinking that it's time for you

to get back in the game with him.

I mean, it's obvious the two of you

belong together, and I'm here to tell you

that I will do anything I can to help you make that happen.

I see.

Yeah, you've been wiggling

your little victim act around so much,

you've attracted too many flies, huh?

You looking for some sucker to swat one away from you, huh?

Well, you can forget it.

I'm not in the bug business,

and, honey, I choose my lovers.

I've got plenty of suitors.

Well, I better watch myself when I'm around you.

I wouldn't want to get caught

in the stampede of eligible bachelors.

Yeah, yeah.

Listen, lady,

why don't you do us all a favor and, uh,

get in another helicopter crash or kidnapped, huh?

You know, Lexi, when I look at you,

all I see is a bitter woman incapable of love.

Hmm.

Amanda, that's not me you're seeing.

That's your own reflection.

As always, lovely chatting with you.

Are you guys finally done?

Because I need to talk to her.

Did she mention that, uh, journal thing?

Get out of my way, moron.

Hey, that's Dr. Moron, to you.

Excuse me.

Ah, Amanda.

I'm leaving for lunch, Michael; it'll have to wait.

You know, everybody's talking about that journal.

You just can't horde it, okay?

It's everybody's.

Now, if we said things to Matt, you know, secrets,

then I think you have an obligation to tell us.

Listen to you, Michael; you are scared to death.

I knew you wouldn't... Wait.

Amanda, could we have a talk, please...

Excuse me, step aside.

- I need to talk... - I was here first.

Michael!

This is a shakedown, isn't it?

- You're planning on blackmailing us. - Oh, stop the drama.

- If you want to know, I'll tell you. - Oh, yeah.

Matt wrote all about how the two of you first met,

back in Chicago, when you both were working at the same club.

Oh, no.

He didn't.

Well, you know, I was a starving medical student.

You know, desperate for money.

No, he mentioned that.

And a certain nickname, I believe, um...

What was that again?

Oh...

And now, ladies, it's time for our resident favorite.

Hot and hunky and ready for your adoration,

a big welcome for the Long Ranger.

That was humiliating.

I hated every second of that.

Oh, please, Amanda.

Destroy the journal and don't tell anybody what you read,

I beg you.

I mean, I'm still a somewhat respected doctor

and if... well, if you told anybody...

I mean, if someone found out

I was a male stripper dancing to "Addicted To Love"...

Oh, my God.

Well, you dirty, little man.

I am not talking about what's in that journal.

Amanda, now, come on, you told him, you've got to tell me.

Not a mention, Peter.

Not one word.

Guess you got lucky.

Either that or she's lying.

She sure caught you with your pants down.

Hmm, Tiger?

♪ You're addicted to love. ♪

♪ Feeling the heat and you got burned ♪

Megan!

How you doing?

Good.

Listen, I reserved a quiet table,

but I don't think quiet is possible.

Have you seen Jane?

No, but, um, is there any way I could talk to you in private?

- I want to ask you a question. - Yeah.

♪ I'll take you there somehow ♪

♪ Oh, yeah, don't look back... ♪

As you know, I've been, uh,

going through a lot lately, what with Coop and all,

and I've just... just done a lot of thinking,

and I, uh...

I haven't treated you fairly, Michael.

Oh, that's all right.

Let me finish.

See, uh,

you approached me on a number

of occasions, sincerely,

and I pushed you away because of old grudges

and pride and,

you know, it's just like what Jennifer said,

I, um,

I don't know what would have happened, if it wasn't for you.

You would have pulled yourself through it.

Will you let me finish?

Okay, sorry.

I wasn't being fair

because I couldn't accept that,

no matter what happened in my past, that you loved me.

And now, with-with what's happened to Matt,

it just hit me how important lasting relationships are

and what love and time mean.

I just...

I need you.

Megan, no, Megan, wait.

- Um, listen, it-it... - Mmm.

It's not that I'm not attracted to you...

I probably always will be...

But you're timing here, you know, it couldn't be worse.

- You mean Jane? - Yeah.

She's just a substitute.

You're just filling

in the void, the way I did with Coop.

No, no, I can't.

Uh, Megan, I... I can't.

I-I'm engaged.

I'm gonna marry Jane.

You know, she was my first love.

My one love.

And I was the substitute.

That's your word, Megan.

Look, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Me too.

I thought you only looked

at the pages with your name in it.

No, you left it laying around

and you said that there were secrets about everybody in it.

So, I once discussed my feelings

for Peter with Matt.

That was long before I met you and you know what,

I would have mentioned it, had I known it mattered.

- What, you take it with you everywhere? - Not...

no, not everywhere; right here.

It's right here.

"Amanda realizes that she will always be connected to Peter,

"that there is something dark in him that binds him to her

the way no other man has or ever will."

That was long before you came along.

Ah.

You know what, sometimes I'm glad you worry.

Shows how much you love me.

So, anything else in there that bothers you?

Now's the time, or forever hold your peace.

Okay.

This page, right here,

- it looks to me like it was torn out. - Hmm.

I hadn't noticed; Matt must have done it, or maybe his mother.

You think I tore it out?

Only if you told me you did.

No, I didn't.

Okay.

End of discussion.

Sound familiar?

What are you doing?

Oh, just a few of your classic moves, from what I understand.

I, uh, I ran into Amanda.

Uh, listen, Jane,

I don't know what she told you or read to you,

but I can assure you that I did not do anything of the...

Oh, come on, Michael.

Like you said, we were gonna be the one honest,

true, solid thing in each other's lives, right?

All right,

you want me to say it, I'll say it.

All right, I'll say it.

I was a stripper at the Stud Factory

in Chicago just before we got married, okay?

We needed the money.

There, you happy now?

Nope.

I won't be happy until you do it for me.

What?

A private dance.

Right here, right now.

Oh, come on, Jane, you can't be serious.

Oh, come on, sweetie.

I'm addicted to love.

Strip for me,

or your secret will be all over the hospital

before you can say "acute gluteus maximus."

You wouldn't.

You would.

Well, good morning.

I lied

when I said you weren't mentioned in Matt's journal.

You were.

- Really? - Yes, really.

Go ahead, read it.

It's marked.

"Late one night,

"Peter filled me in on the year after his arrest.

"He'd lost his license, he was in jail, his life was a mess,

"until some judge agreed to spring him.

But there was a price."

Before Mr. Beck gets back, I want this settled.

The problem, Doctor, is that no one will operate on Mr. Beck.

They all say his heart is too weak.

He'd never survive surgery.

Judge Smith owed us a favor, though,

and agreed to release you from jail.

You want me to operate on him here,

in his home?

We'll get you whatever equipment you need.

What if I'm not able to save him?

Hate to be blunt, but chances are, he's not gonna make it.

Mr. Beck didn't get where he is by betting on the wrong horse.

You'll save him.

He'll owe you his life.

And believe me, Doctor, he's a good friend to have.

I realize that if it ever came out

that you operated without a license,

it could put your career on thin ice,

and I want you to know that I will never, ever tell a soul.

Well, I appreciate your concern.

Is there more to it than that?

I think I'm learning

that the past can be a horrible burden.

Mm, I wonder what other kind of juicy tidbits Matt has in here.

Give me that.

There something in there about you?

First of all,

I never shot off my mouth to Matt like an idiot.

And second, I don't have any secrets.

Amanda.

You better be careful getting out that door.

I think your nose is growing.

Here we go.

Oh, this is the way life was meant to be.

It is nice, isn't it?

Nice?

Come on, it's romantic, it's thoughtful...

I mean, I figure you, uh, owe me a little something

after this morning's command performance.

Oh, I don't know.

I think you were kind of getting into it.

Mm-hmm.

There was a little body memory thing happening there.

Oh, right, right.

Oh, gosh, memories, memories.

You know,

I have a memory I want to share with you.

Shoot.

You know, Matt's journal, you know, it's from there,

and there's something in there about my past.

I mean, you confessed, so it's my turn.

Well, it couldn't be any more embarrassing than mine.

So, come on, let me have it.

You remember Alex Bastian?

Oh, yeah,

yeah, you used to hang out with him in school.

You were very good friends, up until we got engaged.

Yeah.

Well, even after that.

Um, in fact, the night...

the night before we got married,

Alex and I were celebrating our senior show.

Can you believe how well the show went?

No.

I mean, it was just for the school, but...

God, they really seemed to like the clothes.

Oh, are you kidding? They loved 'em.

And they are gonna flip for your work in Paris, too.

I think the odds are about 50/50 for survival.

- What? - Especially without you.

Oh, you'll be fine without me.

I'm gonna miss you, though.

Aw, what you're gonna miss

is knowing what the two of us could have had together.

And maybe you could live with that, and maybe you can't.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I love you.

Well, I love you, too.

I love your passion, your... your humor.

I love the way you take chances.

No.

I've been in love with you

from the moment I laid eyes on you, Jane.

Um...

Alex, I'm-I'm getting married tomorrow.

Why didn't you ever say anything?

Because I was afraid.

Just like you're afraid to marry Michael.

I love Michael.

Then why do your eyes glaze over

every time you mention the wedding?

You're in a panic, Jane.

I'm just a little jittery, I admit.

Then also admit

you're afraid Michael is a mistake.

You're afraid of shutting all the other doors in your life

and losing all the other love...

losing me, Jane.

Alex...

You slept with the guy?!

It was just that one night, one time.

Yeah, the night before our wedding. I mean,

what was that, some sort of private bachelorette party, huh?

- Did he jump out of a cake? - No, Michael.

- It was a... a good-bye. - Oh, it was more than that!

You only sleep with men you love!

Well, do you still love him?

I haven't seen him in eight years.

Yeah, but when was the last time you thought about him, huh?

When was the last time you wanted him?

- Oh, come on, Michael! - I'll tell you what, Jane!

You sleep on the couch!

Kind of chilly out here, isn't it?

Yeah, pretty chilly in there, too.

I'm not the one who locked the bedroom door.

Surprised you even tried the handle.

I wanted to brush my teeth.

Michael, come on, it was so long ago.

Oh, and that means I shouldn't be upset

- that you betrayed me? - Upset would've been okay

if it happened eight years ago,

but we have been through so much since then.

You know I love you.

You know what? I love you, too.

I'm just having a little trouble trusting you at the moment.

And probably every moment from this moment on,

and I'm thinking of changing my opinion

on every moment that came before this moment.

What are you talking about, moments?

And... why are you giving me a lecture on morality?

You, of all people.

Uh, the man who slept with my sister,

and anyone else who wiggled their rear

within five feet of you.

Look, Jane, if you're trying to make

any logic of this, you're crazy, okay?

What you told me last night, it hurt me, it hurt me a lot.

And that's all I know, at...

at this moment.

Hey, hey, you guys open yet?

I think I left my credit card here last night.

Yeah. A waitress picked it up.

Suppose you want to get a look at the journal, too.

It's making you very popular, Amanda.

That's all right, Kyle, I've already gotten my look.

I figured

I'd go to him before he came to me.

So that's the missing page.

No, and we're not getting back into that.

Missing page? Well, the plot thickens.

Peter, I've been your friend,

but you're really abusing the privilege.

- Come on, Amand... - No, I mean it.

Whatever this is you're feeling, we're just friends.

I mean, not even friends; acquaintances.

And whatever happened in the past, even the recent past,

I'm not gonna let anything come between me and Kyle.

I love him and only him. You got it?

Got it?

Mm.

- Got it. - Good. We open at 5:00.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

Oh, I didn't need to hear it; he did.

- I meant every word, you know. - Thank you.

I have this recurring dream

Sorry, your hour's up; it's my turn.

- E-Excuse me... -Peter... - No, an hour's an hour.

It's only fair. He'll see you tomorrow.

- Peter... - Same time, okay?

- Peter! - Shh, shh. Doc, come on.

You know, I really ought to be pissed at you.

But I'm not. Mm-mm.

'Cause we had a breakthrough, mm-hmm.

Amanda rips my heart out right in front of Kyle...

But not because she means it; because she's hiding something.

The missing page.

- Missing page? - Yeah.

From the journal she was reading from, there's a page missing,

and I'm convinced it's about me,

it's about her feelings towards me.

Now, this could affect her relationship with Kyle.

Doc, I'm this close... Believe me, I can smell it.

Peter, I'm gonna write you a prescription.

It may seem a little strong, but... I think you need it.

Oh. Well, I appreciate that, Doc.

But I happen to have a much, much better solution

to my problem.

I'll see you soon.

Kyle, I got a message you had something for me.

Megan decided to take a leave of absence.

She picked up her stuff, took off, left this note for you.

I don't know what went down with the two of you,

but she seemed pretty upset.

Oh, boy.

- What? - This sounds bad.

This is kind of like a suicide note.

Last time I heard talk like this,

Taylor ended up sucking down carbon monoxide.

You think Megan would do something like that?

I don't know, I don't know. She says here

that she's gonna go back home.

And I remember her talking about a trailer park

she grew up in in Napa Valley.

You gonna go see her up there?

Yeah. Matter of fact, for a couple of reasons.

- Thanks, Kyle. - Yeah.

Hey, Ryan.

I've been holding that in for four years.

Look, I thought we talked all of this out on the phone.

Yeah. Well, I figure now we're even.

You want to hit me back, go ahead.

Uh... and then what, you fly back to New York?

Damn.

I got to thinking after your phone call,

why not just go to California and make the reunion complete?

Well, you did that.

- It's good to see you. - Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry for all the trouble.

Nah, forget it, bro.

Two-way street on that one.

I'm gonna get a bartender to take over for me.

I'm gonna take you home to meet Amanda.

She's the one that got me to call you.

She's an amazing woman. Come on.

I want to hear all about it.

Oh, my God.

Was that a gunshot?

Amanda?

Hey. You all right?

Peter.
