It's better than watching

You get credit for
working on the campaign?

Oh, yeah,
but I'd do it anyway.

'Doesn't it bother you

He's not gonna do that

It wasn't her fault, Abbey.

David, we never got to talk.

Uh...later.
I promise.

Now, him.
I'd vote for.

They say he's the future
of the party.

It's loud in here.
You want to walk outside?

[thunder rumbling]

[music continues]

[police car siren]

Hey.

What took you so long?

[sighs]
Had to doll up.

Vera got lucky.

I'm on the up
desk, all night.

Eight minutes to go on the shift
and this guy's gotta buy it.

Darren Kleeman.
Two in the head, up close.

Any witnesses?

They heard it, but
they didn't see it.

[sighs]

Working cold jobs, you almost
forget how much blood there is.

That does seem
extra-gory.

I'm assuming there's a good
reason we got dragged out here?

Mm. Inside.

[camera shutter clicks]

Guy didn't believe
in housework.

Looks like some kind of shrine.

Or trophy case.

'They're all about the death
of Vanessa Prosser.'

(Lilly)
'Who's that?'

Murder victim. 1992.

Never found her killer.

Never say never.

[theme music]

[music continues]

Vanessa Prosser
was a college senior

working on the local
Clinton campaign.

Went to an election
party November 3, 1992.

Washed up on the bank
of the Delaware

the next morning
with a broken neck.

Republicans thought they
had a bad night, huh?

Best guess is she was tossed
from the Ben Franklin Bridge.

Couldn't have been a fall?

Bruising under
her arms.

Dragged and dumped.

A letter was found
in her pocket.

Signature and most of the print
was washed away

but a few words are readable.

"Been afraid..

"Wanting to..

Feelings for you.."

- An admirer.
- With good penmanship.

The lead suspect
was Aaron Dutra, Vanessa's ex.

An ROTC Penn grad.

Just gotten back
from the Gulf War.

And got thrown out
of the party that night.

'Case against him
didn't stick, though.'

Hmm...among other things,
bad penmanship.

(John)
'Where do you think
the letter came from'

'Kleeman, this new victim?'

He had some kind
of obsession with her.

What else do we know
about this guy?

No record, no warrants.
The man was clean.

(Scotty)
'Can't say the same
for his house.'

Neighbor said the wife died
three years ago.

He turned into a hermit,
let the place go.

And the relationship between
him and the Prosser girl?

No connections yet
but he did have

some of her personal items.

Receipts, school papers,
journal entries.

Maybe he was stalking her.

But how'd he
get her stuff?

Walter Sparr was the
assigned on her case.

Will, do you know
where he is?

Maybe the shore.
I'll find him.

Let's see if Vanessa's parents
know who Kleeman was to her.

No. I-I don't know him.

'Mm, who is he?'

His name is Darren Kleeman.

He was killed last night.

Killed?

Uh, what's this got to
do with Vanessa?

We were hoping
you could tell us.

She was living at home, right?

Yes. She was trying
to save money.

She wanted to spend
the summer in Washington.

This man had some of Vanessa's
things at his house.

Well, I don't understand
how that could be.

Uh, one theory is Vanessa
was involved with this guy.

Uh, but he looks like
he's twice her age.

So that might
explain something.

A few weeks before
Vanessa died..

'...we were making dinner.'

- George Bush is a war hero.
- Oh!

And he doesn't know what
a grocery scanner is.

Well, I, for one,
like that Hillary Clinton.

I liked her headbands,
and I don't know why

'she had to change them.'

[doorbell rings]

Dad, you have to vote
for Clinton.

I need a job next year.

And never mind
the Gennifer Flowers tapes.

Gennifer Flowers
is a skank.

That's one thing
we can agree on.

Uh-hm. For, uh...Vanessa.

(P.J.)
'Aaron still thinks
he's in the game, huh?'

They're not from Aaron.

No? Who from?

It's just a thank-you
for the campaign.

- Ho-ho!
- Ah! Ah!

Ooh, ooh, ooh! Apply pressure
here. Direct pressure. Come on.

Hold on. Grab it, honey.
Hurry up, hurry up. Here we go.

(P.J.)
And then we got distracted
when she cut herself.

Her blood didn't
clot properly.

So you never found out
who sent the flowers.

No.

I suppose you didn't realize
Vanessa was missing

until the next day.

We figured she'd gone back

to her friend's place
on campus, Beth Reardon.

She drove that night.

You build all these?

Just designed them.

I'm the architect,
not the contractor.

I've never seen him before.

Who is he?

Maybe someone Vanessa
was involved with.

I doubt that.

Know a better candidate?

I thought she had
something going on

but she was
being secretive.

Anyone else who might know
who Vanessa was seeing?

Ask Aaron Dutra.

'He was all but stalking her
at the time.'

Her old boyfriend?

She broke up with him but he
wasn't taking no for an answer.

You see him at the party
that night?

He was hard to miss.

I couldn't vote for Clinton.

I was too jealous
of the Gore girls.

(Vanessa)
'Perot is crazy.'

'He kept dropping
out of the race.'

I liked Stockdale
in the debate.

(Aaron)
'Vanessa!'

[Gin Blossom singing
"Hey Jealousy"]

Why are you here?

You were supposed
to wait, Vee.

You're drunk.

Shut up.

Aaron, it's over.
I told you this.

I saw you with
him...today.

You're following me?

I saw him touch you,
like you're his..

Stop.

- Where is he?
- Aaron

(Aaron)
'Where is he? I know he's here.'

Aaron, sleep it off.

♪ Tomorrow we can drive around
this town ♪

♪ And let the cops
chase us around.. ♪♪

Cops asked me about him
first time around.

He was an idiot, but..

...not a killer.

You and Aaron
ever compare notes

on who this other guy
might've been?

Aaron and I
never compared anything.

- He got sick after that.
- Sick?

I heard it was
Gulf War Syndrome.

Sounds like Vanessa's ex
saw her

with her new admirer
the day she died.

You gone to him?

He was too sick
to see us today.

We'll go back tomorrow.

That was Walter Sparr.

He remember the Prosser case?

Remembers Darren Kleeman, too.

'Said he started
coming around a few years back.'

Had a bunch of theories
on how the girl died.

He came here with theories?

Thought it was some kind
of political conspiracy.

So...he was trying
to solve her murder.

But why was he interested
in Vanessa?

We still don't have
a connection.

Maybe we do.

Remember all the blood
at the Kleeman scene?

The autopsy explains it.
He was a hemophiliac.

Like Vanessa.

- It's hereditary?
- Coroner says yes.

Females are just carriers,
but some show symptoms.

Blood relation.

Vanessa was Darren Kleeman's
daughter?

Yes.

He was Vanessa's father.

Uh, it wasn't...even an affair.
It was just one night.

You were
already married?

Darren...was
my high school sweetheart.

We had our ten-year reunion

his pals had a suite upstairs.

Old times' sake?

Stupid...very stupid.

My husband doesn't know,
and neither did Vanessa.

Did Darren keep in touch?

No. No, we'd agreed on that.

We had separate lives
till three years ago.

When he started looking
into Vanessa's death?

His wife had died, said he was
trying to fill the void.

Any idea who he suspected?

(Carol)
'No.'

I let him look
through Vanessa's things

and then I asked him
not to come back.

'I had just lost
my daughter.'

I couldn't risk
losing my husband, too.

If Kleeman was looking
into Vanessa's murder

and got too close
to the truth

that could explain
his death, too.

So we're thinking one
doer for both murders.

We got to find out
what Kleeman knew

who he was after.

Where've you
been, Scotty?

Charming the pants off
a 90-year-old historian

who works for the DNC.

So, you got the photo?

Everyone on the regional
campaign in '92.

Taken the day
of the election.

'Vanessa's ex came to the party
looking for her new guy.'

Maybe the new
guy is here.

Who's Kite with?

I don't know.

- I thought you and him were--
- Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Let's go see if Aaron's
feeling better.

(Aaron)
'Whatever it is,
I was here watching TV.'

It's about Vanessa Prosser.

[sighs]

Of course it is.

The night of her murder,
you showed up

at the election party
pretty upset.

Look at your records.

I've had this conversation
a hundred times already.

Let's make it
a hundred and one.

It was the turkey talking.

Bourbon. I'd been
drinking all day.

Can you turn off
the cooking show?

Before I went to the Gulf

'Vanessa and I got engaged.'

When I got back

she was supposed
to be waiting for me.

But instead,
she found someone new.

Could you I.D. her new boyfriend
from a picture?

Him. Glasses, front.

- You're sure?
- Hundred per cent.

[Four Non Blondes singing
"What's Up?"]

Thanks.

Hi.

Thank you very much.

- I voted. Did you?
- Yeah.

You know, I consider myself
a reasonably smart guy

but those ballots
are confusing.

I know. What happens
if you don't knock out

the little square all the way?

Who knows?

♪ And so I cry sometimes
when I'm lying in bed ♪

♪ Just to get it all out
what's in my head ♪

I'm feeling ♪

♪ A little peculiar ♪♪

David Lake.

I know that name.

[instrumental music]

Abbey Lake,
Congressman's Chief of Staff.

Detectives Rush and Valens.

Sister, not wife.

Everyone makes that mistake.

We're here
to talk to David.

Oh, I'm sorry,
he's in Washington.

Maybe I can help?

We're looking
into an old homicide.

Vanessa Prosser.

Oh, that was awful.

She was a really
nice girl.

Oh, we heard she
and your brother

might have been involved.

Her and David? No.

You sure?

A lot of girls on the campaign

were charmed by David.

That's the story of his life.

Occupational hazard.

Vanessa was a lot like
the other girls, that's all.

♪ And so I wake
in the morning.. ♪♪

- 'Ready?'
- Are we in a hurry?

We have a conference call
in an hour.

That's right.

- We'll see you at the party?
- David, I have something--

The polls close in four hours.

We need you
on the phones.

Final push.

You'll see him tonight, Vanessa.

♪ And I say
hey hey hey hey ♪♪

She was sweet,
but young...naive.

Star struck.

David's only human.

He gets flattered.

Part of my job was
and is keeping him focused.

Well, we'd still really like
to talk to your brother.

As soon as he's back in town.

I'm here at the local
Democratic election party

where hundreds of volunteers
have helped Bill Clinton..

11:15, election night.

'Abbey Lake, David's sister.'

And the future Congressman
himself.

(woman on TV)
'with lots of hope and..'

No Vanessa, though.

Could be out of frame.

Could be dead.

We think Lake had
a relationship with Vanessa?

His sister
says no.

Well, we'll see if
his handwriting matches

that letter found on her body.

Be delicate, Scotty.

He runs to his friends
in the Mayor's Office

I'm the one who
gets the call.

What else do we
know about him?

Been in Washington
since '92.

Elected to Congress
two years ago.

Went to Princeton, Columbia Law.
Raised up north, in Redding.

(Nick)
'Redding!'

Yeah.

My victim made a couple calls
to Redding the day he got shot.

Kleeman did?

Yeah, to a guy
named Marvin Dobie.

[machine drilling]

Marvin Dobie?

Philadelphia Homicide.

Yeah, so?

Hey, nice...custom job.

Bamboo rod. Tail water reel..
Expensive hobby.

Convictions for fraud,
forgery, bad checks..

Which of those hobbies
got you that rod?

What do you want from me?

You know a guy
named Darren Kleeman?

Nah.

Really? He called you
last week.

Well, maybe he got
a wrong number.

You talk to wrong numbers
for six minutes?

Maybe I got lonely.

Kleeman got killed
later that day.

Know anything about that?

Dead? Boo.

Know him now?

(Will)
'How about her?'

'Name's Vanessa Prosser.'

Sorry. Anyone else?

(Nick)
'How about
Congressman David Lake?'

Yeah, of him.
He's from the neighborhood.

You friendly?

Marvin
'I wouldn't say that.'

Look, I got to get
to the scrap yard.

'This your writing?'

Ah, no, man.
That's the architect.

They all write like that.

Old set of blueprints
from Dobie. Check out the print.

Here's the letter
from Vanessa's pocket.

'Compare the two.'

Dobie 's architect wrote
Vanessa a love letter?

They almost match.

Almost. This is called
"lettering."

You look at any set of plans,
it basically looks like this.

All architects
print this way for clarity

so it's hard to tell one
from the next.

But we only got one architect
in this investigation.

Mm-hm...Beth Reardon.

[instrumental music]

Where did you find this?

It was in Vanessa's pocket.

It's your writing, isn't it?

I guess I was...
kind of in love with her.

It's my fault she died.

Why do you say that?

We went outside.

I knew something
was bothering her.

[rain drops splatter]

Don't worry about Aaron.

He'll regret it all
in the morning.

I'm not.

Then what are you
worried about?

You're not
telling me something.

Do you ever wish you
could just...go backwards

and...unlearn something?

Like?

I just want things
to be simple..

...but they're a mess.

Tell me what you mean.

I can't.

♪ No you can't ♪

♪ Do a thing ♪

♪ To stop me ♪

- Beth!
- I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

♪ Making love with somebody ♪

Just read.

♪ Exactly like you ♪♪

I was her ride that night.

If I hadn't left..

...maybe she'd still be alive.

You told the first detectives

you were home the rest
of the night.

Passed out on my bathroom floor.

So no alibi, then.

That's my alibi.

That's where I was.

How about this past
Thursday night?

I...was in the E.R.

My son had an asthma attack.

Did Vanessa ever mention
the name Marvin Dobie?

(Scotty)
'Ex-con from Redding.'

No bells?

Redding..

She took a bus to Reading

a few days before the election.

She say why?

I heard her on the phone,
checking schedules.

When I asked her about it...
she changed the subject.

(Lilly)
'Darren Kleeman calls Dobie
in Reading, ends up dead.'

Vanessa goes
to Redding..

Probably to contact Dobie.

Same ending.

All roads lead
to Redding.

Congressman's hometown.

Believe me, I understand
the need for low income housing

I come from humble beginnings,
and if it were up to me

we'd break ground tomorrow.

But we just simply don't
have the resources.

Me siento mucho.

He just told them
he "sits down a lot."

Gracias. Gracias.
Thank you for coming.

How are you?

(David)
'Uh, Vanessa and I worked
on the campaign together.'

That all you did together?

We hear you may have
been more than coworkers.

Excuse me.

Just had Lasik.

Put it off as
long as I could.

20/400 in both eyes.

Contacts never
seem to fit right.

Uh-hm. This a filibuster,
Congressman?

[chuckles]

Okay.

Vanessa and I were involved.

(Lilly)
'But you kept it quiet.'

We don't want people
on the campaign to know.

And after Vanessa died?

My coming forward
wouldn't have helped.

Wouldn't have helped you.

I had no information

and I was concerned about

being associated with
an event like that.

Even though it was your
girlfriend that got killed?

She wasn't, though.

We broke things off that night.

[Chris Issak singing
"Can't Do A Thing"]

You've been avoiding me?

No, I think you
have that reversed.

[chuckles]

Where's your friend?

She went home.

And the ex-boyfriend?

Don't know...don't care.

Vee, I've been offered
a position..

...in Washington.

That's great!

This is what you wanted.

Yeah.

The thing is..

'...it wouldn't make sense
for us to..'

...to make this long-distance.

I thought the idea
was that we were gonna go

to Washington together,
not break up.

Things have a way of turning
on a dime in this business.

Is it because of Abbey?

What did Abbey have
to do with it?

She was always

worried about loose ends
with the girls I dated.

You ever get back to your
humble beginnings in Reading?

Not really. No time.

'Cause Vanessa did.

Went to see a guy
named Marvin Dobey.

Hmm, I don't know
the name.

Says he lived
in your neighborhood.

And I pride myself on my
ability to remember people.

Thanks for being
frank with us.

If there's one thing I
learned from Bill Clinton

never lie about
that sort of thing.

Maybe, he didn't lie
about Vanessa.

- He lied about Dobey.
- You found a connection?

Yeah, I pulled the forms to
see who posted bail

on Dobey's arrests.
Fraud, '77.

$5,000 bond posted
by Linda Syverson.

Who's that?

Got her own record,
for prostitution

but only once
under that name.

In her married years,
she was known as--

- Linda Lake.
- Mother of David and Abbey.

What does she have to do
with Dobey?

Shared an address for a year.
Probably, her boyfriend.

So Dobey didn't live in the same
neighborhood as David Lake

he lived in the same house.

And Lake couldn't
place the name.

Which is doubly
curious, considering

the checks he's been writing.

Marvin Dobey
has been getting

payments from a trust
since the late '80s.

A trust set up
by David Lake.

And the congressman's giving
Dobey financial support?

But what is Dobey giving him?

You said you didn't know
Darren Kleeman.

(Lilly)
'Or Vanessa Prosser.'

We think you did, though,
and now they're both dead.

Not 'cause of me.

'Cause of something
you know, then.

You also lied
about Congressman Lake.

Not only did you
know him

you lived in his house
when he was a teenager.

I ain't talking about Lake.

Don't want them checks
to stop coming.

(Lilly)
'Someone's going away
for this girl's murder.'

'Comes down
to you or Lake.'

Who do you think gets
the benefit of the doubt?

The congressman
or the ex-con?

Lake has resources,
lawyers, status.

- What have you got?
- Self-respect.

That's more than he can say.

You tell me I don't get rung up
on some extortion rap

and I tell you
what you wanna know.

I think we can sell
that to the DA.

'Kleeman called me up'

said he found my name
in this girl's stuff.

How that happened,
I don't know.

Okay.

He asked what I knew
about her getting killed.

- What'd you tell him?
- Nothing to tell.

I didn't know she was dead.

I met her that one time.
That's all I knew of her.

So Vanessa did visit
you in '92.

I don't know how
she found me.

She just showed up
at my door, out of the blue.

Why does David Lake
send you money?

David who, darlin'?

Look, I'm not looking
for trouble.

I just, I just wanna
know why.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

He writes you checks.

I've seen them.

Are you some kind
of reporter?

No. A friend.

You go home, little girl.

Buy yourself some shoes,
take your mind off of things.

I don't know what
you're doing

but I know enough
to call the police.

[dramatic music]

Why don't you
just ask David?

I did.

He won't tell me
anything.

You're more than just
a friend of his, aren't you?

Oh, God.

I almost feel bad for you.

Why did you
feel bad for her?

She was in over her head.

See, David
and his sister Abbey..

...they were more
than friends, too.

- Brother and sister?
- Yeah.

Uh, yeah.

Dobey caught them a few times
while he was living with them.

- He have proof?
- What? Like pictures?

- Yeah.
- 'No. No pictures.'

But David and Abbey
were worried enough

to be paying him off
the past 20 years.

Man...I voted for this guy.

Dobey told Vanessa Prosser
about it.

We think she went
and confronted the happy couple.

And got killed for it.

And last week, Dobey called
the congressman

to report that Darren Kleeman
was sniffing around.

Few hours later, Kleeman ends up
with two in the head.

But Lake was in DC that day.

No, Dobey says
Abbey took the call.

So you think Abbey
did both jobs?

When it comes to her brother,
Abbey takes care of everything.

Now, Dobey's got a sheet
like War and Peace, Kite.

He could be compelled
to testify.

Hearsay from a repeat felon
won't buy you much.

You wanna get our murderer,
you gotta get her to talk.

(Abbey)
'I didn't kill anyone.'

But what would give you
an idea like that?

Not what. Who.

Acquaintance of yours.
Kind of an in-law, actually.

Marvin Dobey.

[scoffs]

What rock did he crawl
out from under?

You should know.
you paid for it.

Hush money couldn't
keep him quiet, though.

Your own brother, Abbey?

My own brother, what?

When it gets out David Lake
took advantage

of his sister
when they were teenagers..

It'll finish him.

Do you have any idea
how that sounds?

I know how it's gonna read.
National Enquirer, Star--

The gyp papers too.

They'll stop the presses
for this one.

That would be slander.
We'd sue you.

But by that time,
everyone will know.

Can't unring a bell.

(Scotty)
'That charming brother of yours
won't have a career left.'

(Lilly)
'Maybe, that's what
Abbey wants..'

...to have her favorite guy
all to herself.

That's why you killed Vanessa,
isn't it?

What do you say, Abbey?

'We call up
the gossip rags, or..'

...you start spilling.

Okay.

I need assurances.

What kind?

You keep certain things
out of the press.

They'll come out at trial.

Not if I plead guilty.

David didn't take advantage
of me. I was older.

It was me.

And Vanessa found this out?

She should've minded
her own business.

Adams Morgan?

How about Georgetown?

It'd be so great if we could
work at the White House.

Assuming Clinton wins.

(Vanessa)
'We could get
an apartment together.'

- Dog?
- Cat.

Both.

I want to go to every museum
on the Mall.

It's a easy train trip
back to Philly.

Oh, it would be great, Vee.

[instrumental music]

- Abbey.
- Hi. Sorry.

It's late, I know.

How long have you
been standing there?

What do you mean?
I just got here.

I need you to sign
some checks.

$6,000 now?

(Abbey)
'That's his new number.'

(David)
'Tell him forget it.'

We can't let him keep
raising the amount.

You want a future
in the public eye..

...you pay him.

[dramatic music]

That would get a girl curious.

If I'd been more successful
at deflecting her..

[sighs]

I wouldn't have had to do
what I did.

Which was?

I sent her down the stairs
of the hotel parking garage

then dumped
her from the bridge.

All for David's
brilliant career.

I owed him.

For what I did
when we were young.

And David agreed
to sweep this under the rug?

- He doesn't know anything.
- 'What about Kleeman?'

Doesn't know
about him, either.

So you admit to shooting him?

Two shots. He was as close
as you are right now.

That was your .38?

It was a .25.

You can find it
in my apartment.

Hey, got her gun.

Ballistics will test
fire and compare

but she looks
good for it.

Well, that'll make
the bosses happy.

Better her than
the congressman.

They were getting
nervous upstairs, huh?

Can I show you something?

He ain't wearing his glasses.

- So?
- So..

'...where'd they go?'

I lose mine three
times a day, Scotty.

You're not blind without them.
Lake said he had 20/400 vision.

What's the theory?

Maybe, he lost them
in a struggle.

(Scotty)
'Abbey's taking the fall.'

'In her twisted devotion
to David she figures better'

to let him go on, doin' all his
good. She'll sit in jail.

- That's a little thin.
- It makes sense.

Scotty, we got
nothing on him.

- I know he did it.
- But we can't make the case.

Sooner or later, Scotty,
one's gonna get by you.

Happens to us all.

I wanna go see Lake
one more time.

(David)
'I don't know who
Darren Kleeman is.'

He was Vanessa's
real father.

He was looking into
her death.

Which means
he was looking into you.

- You think I killed Vanessa?
- Leanin' there.

Except your sister says
she did it.

- She said that?
- 'Made a deal.'

Copped to both murders.

In exchange, we don't leak
your dirty little secret.

I have to call Abbey.

Without your help,
she's looking at life.

How can I help?

Tell us what happened
to Vanessa.

I don't know.

You know.

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

Excuse me.

I don't have anything
more to say.

He almost went
in there.

Know that call Stillman didn't
want to get from the brass?

He got it.

We have to leave Lake alone.

Commissioner's orders.

[sighs]

Hey, hey, heard you went back
at the congressman.

[sighs]
Yeah, till the bosses
shut us down.

Got a pretty good case
against his sister.

Yeah, must be nice having
a different set of rules.

I saw you with that new ADA.

- Julie?
- Yeah, Julie.

Actually, I'm on my way
to meet her now.

- Have fun.
- Rush! Rush!

I'll cut her loose right now
if it's just you and me

but I haven't heard
that from you.

- So until you've decided that--
- Okay. Okay.

- Okay what?
- Just you and me.

Then, um, I'll go, uh,
meet her right now.

Uh, be polite
for an hour.

Then tell her that
I'm otherwise engaged.

Okay.

Okay.

Congressman.

You're not allowed
to be here.

I'm off duty.

- Just two guys talking.
- I don't think so.

Your life's pretty
important, huh?

Everyone's life is important.

Not Vanessa's, apparently.
Or Abbey's.

What kind of man lets his
sister take his bullet?

You don't know about
Abbey and me.

I know more than
I wanna know.

We had a hard upbringing.

Yeah, humble beginnings.

It was a lot worse than humble.

It made us very close.
I can't make you understand.

Yeah, I don't need to
understand that.

I just want the truth about
Vanessa, how she died.

Well, You got
a law degree, right?

- You know about Miranda.
- Yeah.

Well, I haven't Mirandized you.
so anything you

tell me right now, I can't use
in court. You're protected.

And we can have
a conversation.

- About what?
- The truth.

Why would you
wanna know something

you could do nothing about?

That's for me to know.

What you need to know is I ain't
leavin' till you tell me.

I thought that
she had left the party.

I never expected
to see her again.

Vanessa, what are
you doing here?

I went to Reading
this weekend.

I met Marvin Dobey.

Why would you do that?

I just wanted to know what
was coming between us.

What did he say?

- It doesn't matter.
- What did he say?

He told me...about
you and Abbey.

But it's alright.

Vanessa, we can't.
I can't.

We can.
We can be together.

You just have to look
forward and not back.

I love you.

I can't!

Vee?

Oh, God. Vanessa!

Oh, God.

[beeping]

Abbey?

Abbey, I screwed up.

[dramatic music]
