Okay, look...

I've thought about killing him.

Sure, but...

only after Kimberly talked me into it.

Him...

being Dr. Michael Mancini,

and Kimberly being Dr. Kimberly Shaw?

Yes. Of course. Who else?

Aren't you paying attention?

The point is, that was before.

And Kimberly was doing it, too,

and this time I didn't.

Why do you think I waived my right to an attorney?

I want to help you get the killer.

She sedated him the first time.

It was all her idea.

You can bet she planned this,

down to the last detail.

Damn it. She planted the wig in my apartment.

It had to be her.

Well, that is...

if it isn't you.

No. It's her!

I am a victim here.

She planned everything.

She hates him. She hates me, everybody.

She's crazy, don't you see?

Thanks for talking to us, Mrs. Mancini.

I'm telling you, it's her.

You got to believe me.

We'll look into it.

Have you heard the word?

Have you heard the word?

Have you heard the word?

Have you heard?

Hi. Got a second?

Sure. What's up?

I was having drinks last night with some friends of mine

who are in publishing,

and one of them let drop that Escapade magazine

is looking for a new ad agency.

Really?

That'd be a plum account.

It sure would.

It would help if we had an in

before we approach them.

Doesn't Alison's new husband work there?

Yes.

She's still on her honeymoon, right?

If you know where they are,

we could put a call into them,

talk to her,

maybe get a feel of the place from him.

There's a little problem here.

The wedding didn't exactly come off,

and between us, Alison's been distraught

and isn't available for a while.

That's terrible.

Yeah.

But not a disaster.

I'm still friends with her fianc?,

so maybe I could give him a call.

Well, then, um...

go to it.

Anything inside you can get

would be a help...

Uh, morale of the place,

temperament of management.

And if any financial figures slipped our way,

that'd be a big help, too, don't you think?

I didn't say it.

Yes? Alison Parker on the line.

Of course. Put her through.

Hi.

My plane's about to board,

but I just wanted to assure you

that I'm available by phone or fax in Wisconsin

if there's any business

you need to reach me for.

Allison, I think you should concentrate

on your family situation right now.

That's what's important.

There's nothing earthshaking going on here.

Thanks. You've been great.

It's nothing. You just take care of things,

and I'll catch you up when you get back.

All right, then.

And thanks again. I really mean it.

I know. Bye, now.

Bye.

Oh, I'm not familiar with this at all.

Are you sure I live here?

We live here, sweetheart.

Now, come on.

Let's get you settled...

and into bed.

I'm sorry I can't remember anything.

It's not your fault.

But I'm so grateful for the way you've been taking care of me.

You've been so kind.

I wish I could remember you, at least.

You're doing fine.

And don't worry.

Everything will come back to you eventually.

Right now, you only have to remember one thing...

That I love you.

I'll be right back.

Who is it?

Roger Chambers,

assistant district attorney's office.

Are you Dr. Kimberly Shaw?

Yes. What can I do for you?

I recently spoke to Mrs. Sydney Mancini.

She's made some disturbing accusations.

Would you like to help me clear them up?

Sure. Come on in.

But, uh, give me a second.

Dr. Mancini's resting.

I just got him back from the hospital.

Sweetheart?

I'll just be a moment.

You close your eyes and rest.

Have a seat.

Can I get you something?

I'm just making some tea for Michael.

No, thanks.

Mrs. Mancini told us that you and she

tried to do away with Dr. Mancini once before,

that you drugged him,

tried to asphyxiate him with carbon monoxide.

Oh, that poor girl.

She's so unstable.

I feel sorry for her.

But you want answers, don't you?

No, I did not try to do away with Michael, ever.

I love him more than my own life.

I would take mine for his.

Did you and Mrs... Did you and Sydney...

ever discuss the possibility of an accident

involving Dr. Mancini?

She came to me desperate for an alibi.

She wanted to say that she was with me

when he was nearly killed,

but of course I refused.

Michael...

gave me this engagement ring.

We were getting married,

and he left her for me so he could finally be happy,

and she couldn't stand that,

so she tried to destroy him.

You can tell her for me that I'm taking care of him now,

and she'll never have a chance to hurt him again.

Thanks you, Dr. Shaw. I think I've got what I need.

Good.

I'll do anything to help.

Thanks.

Anything.

Morning, Captain.

Hi.

It was great sleeping on the boat last night.

The gentle rocking of the waves and all that.

Too bad I had to be alone.

Look, Brittany, now would probably be a pretty good time

for you to find another place.

I got to get down below and tear out the bilge pump.

Can't I hang for a bit,

watch you work?

No.

You know, I don't think you understand

how grateful I am.

Why don't I show you?

You can work on that bilge pump any old time.

I told you before,

I'm not interested in that kind of thing right now, okay?

Now, you better get out there and find another place.

You don't have much time left on this boat.

I'm sorry, Jake.

I don't mean to keep coming on to you.

It's just...

been so long since anyone was kind to me.

It's okay.

I understand.

You're a great guy, you know that?

Okay. You go work on your bilge,

and I'm gonna go run off and get us some lunch.

I'm not hungry.

Back in a flash, handsome.

Oh, man.

You know,

I've known both of you girls a long time...

All your lives pretty much.

And I've never known either of you

to be the type to make up stories

or even stretch the truth a little.

So what you're saying

went on with your father may well have happened.

I knew you'd understand.

Meredith and I aren't on any vendetta.

We just want the truth to come out.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.

But understand,

I and everybody else in this town will...

have a hard time believing

that the owner of Parker Hardware,

sponsor of a boys' soccer team,

one of the nicest,

most generous men in the county,

could ever do anything as...

God-awful...

as you girls allege.

So are you sure that...

this isn't a mistake,

maybe the outgrowth

of some terrible family argument?

I told you.

I told you nobody would believe us, Alison.

Listen to me, Harry.

This happened.

I guarantee that this happened to both me and my sister.

And now you're telling us to forget it?

Live with it for the rest of our lives, day and night,

because some man with a nice, quiet life

might, for once, have to face up to what he's done?

Are you telling me it's too much to ask

that maybe, just maybe,

his victims might finally be able to sleep

without nightmares?

Or is it possible...

that you might actually do

what you said you would...

and help us?

All right.

We'll go see Judge Thomas tomorrow.

But I warn you,

this isn't gonna be easy.

We can take it, Harry.

We've been waiting a long time.

I was beginning to think

you were going to stand me up.

What's this all about, Amanda?

You said on the phone it had to do with business.

What business do we have together?

Why don't you have a seat

and let me tell you?

If it has anything to do with Alison,

I don't want to hear it,

'cause we're having our problems,

and I'm not gonna do anything hurt her.

If you're done with the pre-emptive strikes,

I'd like to get a word in.

I have an idea that would help Alison and you.

All I'm asking you to do is listen.

Your magazine is looking for a new ad agency.

If that agency turned out to be D D,

it could be quite a plum for Alison.

Why?

Bruce knows that you and Alison are close.

I let him know that Alison convinced you

to help us land the account,

which, then, she'd end up handling.

See? Everybody wins.

Maybe. But Nancy's a tough editor.

She usually likes to make up her own mind

on these kind of things.

So I don't see what kind of effect I could have.

Would you be surprised if I told you I had a plan?

Let's hear it.

Thanks for dinner.

It was delicious.

Shrimp gumbo was always your favorite.

Yeah, if you say so.

Honestly, Kimberly, I can't thank you enough

for how good you've been to me.

It's a labor of love, Michael.

Oh, um...

No, I feel like such an invalid.

I don't know how you could be attracted to me.

I know what it's like to be an invalid...

to be injured.

I was with this awful man once.

We got drunk one night,

and there was this terrible accident.

And it left me...

disfigured.

Did I know you then?

Mm-hmm.

And to tell you the truth,

I was always too afraid to let you see.

See what?

There's nothing wrong with you.

Yes, there is a little something.

Look at this.

It's horrible, I know.

No.

No, Kimberly.

You're beautiful.

Hello?

Permission to come aboard, Captain Jake.

I know I'm not supposed to bother you,

but I thought I'd bring you some, um...

nourishment.

Oh, hi. I'm Brittany.

Jake will be back in a second.

He went to pay the slip fees.

Ah.

You want to wait?

We've got some coffee made.

No, thanks.

Here.

This'll go great with your coffee.

Can I give him a message?

Yeah.

Tell him he's a lying pig.

Matt, thank you so much

for coming down to see me.

I think you're the only one I can talk to,

the only one who would possibly believe me.

Why? Because you think I'm gullible?

No. No.

Because you know how twisted Michael and Kimberly are.

Somehow, they've cooked this whole think up and put it on me.

I don't know how.

Sydney, I'm sorry that you're in the middle of this mess, but...

I find it hard to believe

that you didn't have something to do with it.

I swear I didn't.

It's them, the two doctors from hell.

They're trying to get me executed.

Sydney, you can't be executed for attempted murder.

Great. That's supposed to make me feel better?

I'll just rot the rest of my life away in prison with the Manson girls.

Sydney, calm down.

Please, Matt. Please.

You've got to help me.

It's Kimberly.

Uh, probably Michael, too.

But it's Kimberly.

I know it is.

I know it is.

Please.

Hey, cut it out.

You're the one who wanted to work through lunch.

I know, but I've just discovered

what an incredibly lovely neck you have.

Oh. I don't suppose you'd finally like to see

the rest of me, would you?

That sounds like an interesting proposition.

Ahem. Jane?

Oh, my God. Dad!

Good to see you, Jane. Hi!

You, too.

We were worried sick.

Your mother would be here if she could.

Is she okay?

Yeah. She can't bear to deal with this.

I understand.

You going to introduce me to your friend?

Oh. Ha ha! I'm sorry.

Dad, this is my business partner Chris.

This is my dad George.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Likewise, Chris.

Dad's the one who really encouraged me

to follow my dreams and go into fashion.

You have an eye for talent, George.

Your daughter is quite extraordinary.

Yes, she is.

I'll leave you two to catch up.

Maybe we can have dinner while you're here.

Sounds fine. Great.

Bye.

Bye. Call me tonight.

What has gotten into you?

You never used to be so protective.

I just wish I could've protected you from Michael...

You and your sister.

I don't know, anything to prevent this tragedy.

It's all so... senseless.

I know.

No matter how I feel about Sydney,

I just can't get used to the fact

that she's sitting in jail.

Jane, your mother and I

had a terrible fight over Sydney

during the whole thing with the will

and Sydney's marriage to Michael.

I somehow couldn't accept the idea

that my daughter had become so...

amoral.

I'm sorry.

Well, I have an appointment

with the lawyer I got for her,

then the D.A.

After that, I'll go see her.

She's still my daughter no matter what.

I think I have to do what's best for her.

I could use some company.

Like to come along?

Of course.

You know, Jane, if it weren't for you,

I don't know what your mother and I would do.

Thanks, Dad.

Michael?

You home?

Michael? Kimberly?

Michael, it's, uh... it's Matt.

Matt Fielding.

Ahem. Hey, Michael.

Didn't you hear me calling you?

Uh, yeah. I was just waking up from a nap.

I'm sorry. Can I help you?

Yeah, um...

you don't remember.

I'm a friend of yours.

Yeah.

Uh, Matt at the hospital.

Right. We used to live at the same apartment building.

We work at the hospital together.

I mentioned your name to Kimberly, and, uh...

she said we weren't that close.

We've known each other a long time, Michael.

We, um, have quite a history.

Huh.

You sure you don't remember anything

about what happened to you?

Not a thing.

The first thing I remember

is waking up at the hospital

and Kimberly there with me,

and, um...

she's been with me ever since...

like an angel.

We must've been a great couple before, huh?

Well, do you remember us?

Yeah, I do.

Has she told you about your relationship?

Not really.

Except, uh...

were you around when she was injured?

Yeah.

I hope I was as good to her

as she's been to me.

She didn't tell you what happened?

No, only that there was an accident.

And, um, she was afraid to tell me about...

No, Michael, it was a hell lot more involved than that.

Matt, this is a surprise.

I come back to make sure my fianc? is getting his rest,

and here he is chumming it up with a work acquaintance.

You need quiet.

Say goodbye to Matt.

Goodbye, Matt.

Take care, Michael.

We'll, uh, we'll talk again.

There's, um...

not a lot Michael can handle right now.

Too much information can confuse him.

You know, it seems to me

that he wants to know as much as he can.

Do me a favor.

Give Michael his space for now,

and, um...

don't come by here unless you talk to me first, okay?

Bye, now.

Daddy.

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Ohh.

Dad, I can't believe you're here.

I know the bail can't be that much,

but I owe you big for this.

I won't let you down, I promise.

I know I have before, but this time it's different,

and mostly because I didn't do it. Sydney...

Big sister thinks I'm some kind of monster,

and I set her up, but...

God, at least you believe me.

All I want is my day in court.

You'll have that, Sydney, and as you know,

I've arranged for Mr. Baker here to represent you.

Yeah, we talked. Great.

But I'm sorry.

We're not going to be able to...

put up bail at this time.

What?

Well, you and Mr. Baker can discuss this later,

but you're considered too much of a flight risk.

I don't understand.

Look, sweetheart,

the case against you is...

very, very strong.

But I told you I didn't do it.

Yes, I know, but now I think it's time to be practical.

If you plead guilty...

You think I did it?

My own father thinks I tried to kill someone?

If you'll work with us,

Mr. Baker thinks he can get the charge reduced

and also maybe get you some help.

This is all Jane, isn't it?

She's the one who went to the cops on me.

Now she's saying I'm crazy?

Sydney, I love you, but this is on your head, nobody else's.

You've been out of control for months now.

You don't love me.

You've got Jane.

You're throwing me away.

Come on, Daddy, say it.

Say I'm a killer. Damn it, now calm down.

Everybody's throwing me away.

First Jane, Michael, now you.

I wish I had been driving that car.

I should've killed him.

If you'd been there, I'd have killed you, too.

You don't mean that.

Why not, Daddy?

You always thought the worst in me.

You never believed in me.

Now you've got what you want.

I'm a killer.

Maybe someday I'll blow your damn head off.

It's okay.

Alison, is this jacket too much? Oh, Meredith,

That's the third outfit you've tried on.

It's fine.

Let's go. We're going to be late for the hearing.

Who the hell can that be?

Mom.

I have to talk to you.

Both of you.

Hello, Meredith.

It's been a while.

10 years.

You look...

you look well.

Why, thank you.

Mom... are you all right?

Of course I'm not all right.

How am I supposed to be all right?

I've come to ask you to stop this.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Meredith and I really have to go.

Alison, Meredith, please.

I'm your mother.

I am begging you not to destroy my life.

Can't you find forgiveness in your heart?

Are you really this cold?

It's not us, Mom.

We don't want to hurt anybody.

Some lawyer talked you into this.

So you'll stop this attack.

Mom...

I'm sorry.

It's not an attack. It's the truth.

Something horrible happened to us,

and now we need to get out the truth.

Don't you touch me!

Don't you try to comfort me.

You two are putting a knife in my back.

You're pathetic, you know that?

"We have to get out the truth."

Everybody lies.

The world is full of it.

And everybody lives with pain.

But not you two.

Oh, no.

You're going to live pure and clean

by covering your parents with filth.

I wish I'd never had you,

either of you.

I wish you'd never been born.

Woman: Escapade magazine, please hold.

That article going to be on my desk tonight, Campbell?

Yeah, absolutely.

8:00 at the latest.

Is everything okay?

I never saw you this low before.

Yeah, it's fine. Couldn't be better.

Okay.

Billy Campbell.

Hi, Billy. It's Amanda. First, congratulations.

I really like this copy you did, and I'm giving it to Bruce.

The numbers you slipped in are a big help.

I have just a few small changes,

and when you're done, you can fax it to me.

You know what, Amanda? No.

If you want to change it, change it,

but I've done all I can, you know?

I've got my own job to do.

It's just a couple of small things...

For Alison's sake.

Yeah, well, that's the only reason I did it.

So what you do with it now is your business, all right?

See ya.

Hmm.

I talked to Aaron Baker again today about Sydney

and also to the people at Hidden Hills Sanitarium.

Isn't that...

It's a psychiatric hospital, yes.

It's approved by the court.

I know this is upsetting,

but you saw how Sydney was last night.

Now I feel the best thing to do

is have her committed to a mental institution

for evaluation.

It takes the signatures of two family members

to get someone involuntarily committed.

I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with this.

I guess it would be better than prison.

I just... I can't believe we're talking

about the same little girl

who was my best friend until I moved away.

When Syd and I moved to Chicago,

we didn't have any friends,

and we played together all the time.

I'll never forget.

We got a couple of the moving boxes,

and we made them our little homes, side-by-side,

pretending that we were all grown up...

sharing each other's lives...

helping with each other's kids.

Friends and sisters forever.

I wish it had turned out that way, Jane,

more than anything.

But at least maybe now, Sydney can get

the kind of care she needs at Hidden Hills.

She's not well.

I guess we've all been ignoring that.

I'll do it.

I'll sign.

Maybe now Sydney and all of us can get some peace.

What's taking so long?

I thought we were going right into a hearing.

Even in a small town, the judge is a very busy man.

He'll see us soon enough.

Now let's go over this.

We're going into a preliminary hearing.

The judge will listen to both sides of the story,

and then decide if this is going to trial.

God, it's just him?

But what if he doesn't believe us?

We don't even have a jury.

Don't worry.

Judge Thomas is a very fair man.

Just stick to the facts as you believe them,

and Alison, no speeches, all right?

All right.

I think Meredith would like to speak first, wouldn't you?

Can you let the judge know

that she's fragile, and he needs to be careful with her?

Now, don't you worry about a thing.

I'm going to find out what's going on around here.

Sure, sure.

Take her home, will you? She needs a little rest.

Thank you, Judge. Thank you.

I knew this would happen.

This town is a joke.

Keep it together, Meredith.

We'll tell our story, and they have to hear us.

Come on, Harry, and bring in the ladies.

I thought at a hearing everybody was together.

Judge Thomas likes to treat special cases

with... you know, care.

You girls ready to talk to me?

Yeah, we are.

Good. Let's try to straighten this thing out, huh?

No. I'm not gonna do this.

I'm sorry, Ali. I'm sorry. I can't.

This whole thing is a setup.

I'm not gonna help them!

This is Judge Thomas, for God's sake!

He got dad into the country club.

Come on. The truth is on our side.

No, it isn't, Alison.

Mom was right, Alison. It's lies.

The whole world is... It's just... It's lies.

Do you really think that dad's golfing buddy is gonna believe us?

Oh, God. It's over.

I should never have let you talk me into coming back here.

Oh, Meredith, please don't give up!

I guess I should've known she wouldn't hold up,

but I just kept pushing. I thought...

I still think that facing the person

who did something like this to you

is the only way to get...

I don't know... Your soul back.

Well, I'm a practical kind of guy, Alison.

If there's no way I can do something,

I put it out of my mind.

A futile effort doesn't make you stronger,

it makes you crazy.

You've known me since I was a kid, Harry.

Do you believe me?

Yeah, I think I do.

And I'm sorry.

I really am.

But your sister's on a flight back to San Francisco,

and that leaves only you.

One voice against your father with no collaboration.

That's not much around here, is it?

Everybody loves your dad,

and nobody knows what he did except you...

and him, of course,

but I wouldn't expect too much help there.

No.

You tried. Now go home.

Try to forget that any of this ever happened.

Trust me on this, Alison.

I guess that's all there is left to do.

Hey, what's up?

Oh, nothing much.

I just thought you might be interested to know

we have a new advertising agency working for the magazine now.

Really? Mm-hmm.

D D. I believe you've heard of the firm.

Oh, right, yeah. Alison works there.

Mm-hmm. You know, I was telling Amanda Woodward

how impressed I was with the copy in the presentation.

I thought the writer really knew his subject.

She told me you wrote it.

Look, I just helped out a little. Alison was out...

You were contracted to write for this magazine,

but you lied to me, and you went behind my back, and you moonlighted.

What you did wasn't only a conflict of interest,

it was dishonest.

I don't like spies.

Clean out your desk and get out of here.

Come on, Nancy...

You're fired, Billy.

Hey there.

Didn't expect you back for a few hours.

Yeah. Well, I just walked into a buzz saw

at the apartment, thanks to you.

This is exactly why I didn't want you on this boat in the first place.

I'm trying to work, get a little peace in my life.

What I don't need is women mad at me

and acting like I betrayed them.

I would never act that way.

Look, it's nothing personal,

I just want you to get your stuff and get out of here.

If that's what you want, okay,

but I think you've just been around the wrong kind of women.

Brittany, just get your stuff and go.

You've been with possessive, jealous,

clinging women,

women who want something from you.

Brittany...

What you've needed all along

was a woman who only wanted to give you pleasure,

who only wanted to do...

what you wanted to,

who only wanted to make you happier

than you've ever been in your life.

Oh, is that it?

I just got fired because of you, Amanda.

Why'd you do it?

I stick my neck out for you, and this is the thanks I get?

No, Mr. Campbell, this is the thanks you get.

How would you like to work at DD

as a senior copywriter?

Pays a hell of a lot more

than you were making at Escapade.

Wait a second. You're offering me a job?

Well, it seems like you're out of work,

and I like your stuff, kid.

What do you say?

What time's your flight, ma'am?

1:00.

Listen, I want to make a stop first

at 434 Elm Street.

Anything you say.

Thanks.

Judge, you still like your ribs burned to a crisp, right?

Now, come on, John. I've gotten used to it.

It's the only way you know how to cook them.

Time to cut the judge off, sweetheart.

He's turning nasty. Aarggh.

Thank you, hon.

Step right up. Step right up.

Chicken. I know you. Chicken. Chicken.

There you go.

Alison, why are you here?

I know you think you've beaten me and Meredith, Dad,

but I realized something this morning.

You never can.

'Cause all the legal connections in the world

can't help when in your heart and soul,

you'll always know what you did.

Alison, this isn't the place to air your fantasies.

You're only going to embarrass yourself.

Alison, you weren't invited to this party.

I think you should leave.

I decide where and when I go now, Mother.

I'm grown up.

And neither of you can bully me anymore.

Young lady, I will not have you talk to your mother like this.

Or what, Dad? What are you gonna do to me that you haven't already done?

Alison, for God's sakes, we have guests.

This is no place to air your dirty laundry.

Well, Mom, I'm not carrying this around anymore.

Come on, Alison, grow up. It's over.

No, it's not over, and it never will be over...

Not for my sister and not for you,

because we all carry around this dirty little secret

that everybody in this town should know.

Don't you say it. Don't you dare say it.

What are you gonna do? How are you going to shut me up?

You gonna hit me? You gonna take me down into the basement again?

Look.

Everybody's watching now.

Everything is finally out in the open.

You changed me and Meredith forever.

We were little, we were innocent,

and you touched us.

Shut up with this crap!

What do you want me to do, huh?

What do you want me to do?

I loved you. That's all I ever did...

Try and show you how much I loved you.

John, please come in the house.

You don't know what you're saying!

Oh, shut up. It's your fault.

My fault? How can you put this on me?

You were so cold. So cold. You hated my touch.

All I wanted was a little warmth, a little understanding,

so I went to my daughters.

So what?

All you had to do was touch me.

I didn't hurt you.

John, for God's sake, shut up!

Go on. Go on! Leave!

You hypocrites, huh? Go on!

Women, yeah, they show everything,

but you can, uh... Oh, you never touch.

All I wanted was a little warmth.

It wasn't my fault, Alison.

It wasn't my fault.

I was 8 years old!

I trusted you.

It sure as hell was your fault.

Well, it took me a while, Palmer,

but I finally got him to sleep with me.

I think he's beginning to trust me.

Good.

That's very good.

I'm going to make Jake Hanson so sorry

he ever messed with me

or my little Amanda.

So who posted my bail?

My dad, right?

I knew he'd come through.

Hope you guys are ready for a big false arrest lawsuit.

Wait a minute.

What's going on?

No! Let me go!

This is illegal. You guys can't... Ow!

Somebody help me!

I'm sorry it's come to this, Sydney,

but you'll get some help now.

This is helping me, Daddy? This?

I love you.

Please.

Oh, please, Daddy. I'm not crazy.

I don't want to go.

Please, Daddy, I love you.

I swear I'm not crazy.

I'm your little girl.

Why are you doing this to your little girl?!
