Michael?

Is it raining?

Yeah, it just started.

Oh, my God... Oh, my God.

We have to go.

Go? I just got home.

Look, this is no time to argue, okay?

Wha...

What the hell is going on, Megan?

Just get in the car, okay?

I am not starting this car

until you explain to me what we're doing.

Drive, okay? I will tell you on the way.

Just keep going straight.

Damn it, Megan, will you talk to me?

Michael, I love you.

You couldn't have told me that at the house?

Why are you acting this way?

Because I've known all along that Kimberly was sick.

What?

Kimberly hired me to be with you,

to sleep with you.

Shepaidyou to have sex with me?

Oh, I don't believe this.

You're just a mistress for hire,

and Kimberly's nothing but a pimp.

Listen, it started out that way, okay?

But I really... I did fall in love with you.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Kimberly's gonna kill herself

on Mulholland just before Coldwater.

She was waiting for this storm.

Wait a second... Is this really true,

or did you and your partner in crime

have some other ridiculous surprise in store for me?

Oh, this is unbelievable.

I find myself a new wife,

who I find out is in cahoots with my ex-wife,

who I find out is about to drive herself over a cliff.

So, Michael, would you please slow down, okay?

It's not my fault. Oh, yes it is.

Coldwater Canyon is right up here.

Look, Michael, I wanted to tell you...

Just get your hands off me, okay?

Just listen to me. Oh!
