Original subtitles

Amanda, no one was supposed to know. Know what? What the hell is going on

Who was killed?

I want to know why you were in prison and what my wife has to do with this.

It's ancient history. Somebody did die 15 years ago, but Eve paid for it. Kyle,

please. All I want to do is go on with my life. I want to marry Peter.

Good. I'll get him up here for story hour.

No! No, Peter can't know. Then somebody better start talking. All right. Amanda!

It was 15 years ago.

Eve and I were in high school right down the road from here.

Eve's boyfriend was quarterback of the football team. Richard's boy in school.

He thought he was God's gift.

I got your message. You wanted to talk about Eve. Yeah, Amanda.

Wanted you to be the first one to know.

I'm gonna dump her.

What?

I wanted to give you a chance at the super bod here.

Had my eye on you.

Not interested.

Sure you are.

First of all, you are a conceited, spoiled creep. And second of all, Eve is

best friend, and she loves you.

Oh, yeah.

I know you've been watching me.

Those are the legs I see during practice.

Let go of me, you jerk!

Forget about Eve. I know you want me to. Shut up. Let go!

He would have raped me if Eve hadn't shown up.

I saw them.

Amanda was fighting him.

So I yelled.

What are you doing?

Just a poor pathetic piece of trash.

Don't say that. You love me.

I just used you to drive my parents crazy.

I pushed him.

I hated him so much right then for what he was doing to you and what he was

saying to me.

He didn't

move. I knew he was dead.

I panicked and ran all the way home and hid in my room. If I stayed, maybe I

could have talked Eve into calling the police.

Or maybe I would have talked you into helping me, and then we both would have

been put away for 15 years.

See, I knew there'd be trouble.

His parents hated me.

My whole family. I wasn't good enough. The only time I was inside their house

was when Kent snuck me in for sex.

He thought it was a big joke.

I was afraid no one would believe me.

I wanted to make it look like an accident. I mean, he'd been drinking.

people would think he'd fallen into one of the construction ditches.

But someone saw me.

I was arrested.

They found Amanda's bracelet in Ken's hand and she was arrested too.

My parents could afford good lawyers. My charge was reduced and I got off.

But Kent's parents wanted somebody to pay.

I testified that Eve was trying to protect me, but no one believed me. The

lawyers made me out to be some kind of a whore, a gold digger.

They said it was premeditated, that I knew Kent was going to dump me.

It gave me 20 years.

I was paroled after 15.

So you guys were best friends and then you don't see each other until Eve shows

up at the club looking for a job?

No. I was in prison just outside San Francisco.

Amanda came to visit me once a month, every month for the last 15 years.

All those trips to San Francisco.

Even I made a pact not to tell anyone. Matt was the only one who knew because

was counseling AIDS patients at the prison, and he saw me one day.

So that's what was on the missing journal page.

Peter has a right to know.

Kyle, please. It's in the past. It's over. It's not who I am anymore.

No, Eve, your past makes you who you are. If you're not going to tell him, I

Kyle, Eve lost 15 years because she was protecting me. I think she deserves some

happiness.

Please, don't keep our secret.

Look, I'm sorry that you went through this, Eve. It sounds awful, but you

get married to Peter without telling him. He's got a right to know. No.

Kyle, if you won't do it for Eve, then do it for me. It's not about that. If

people find out that I'm connected to a murder, it's going to affect my

business, our life. I mean, people believe the worst, whether it's true or

Is that what you want from me? No. No, I don't want you to get hurt or Eve or

anybody else here. Then there's no choice.

For me, please.

Right.

I won't say anything.

Come on. We've got our wedding to get ready for.

Well, finally.

I didn't think anybody was coming.

I thought we were going to have a Jane Michael wedding here. No, we are right

schedule. Good, good, good.

Well, I never had any doubts.

Good.

In you I found courage to hold on to everything I

believe.

I will always love you

with every beat of my heart.

I do.

Peter, I never thought this day would come.

All the heartache and sadness that touched my life before has vanished.

Now all I feel is joy.

I love you, Peter.

I promise to love you forever.

Eve, I pledge my love to you.

And I promise that our future will be together forever.

Why don't you say what you have to say, because I'd really like to kiss my bride

now. Well, by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.

I will always love you

with every beat of my heart.

Dr. Moore, this is my friend Megan.

Hi.

I drove Jane here. I'd like to stay, if you don't mind, just for support.

That's fine. Have a seat.

Jane, the results of your biopsy are not what I'd hoped for.

You mean I have cancer?

I mean the results were inconclusive.

I'd like to recommend a lumpectomy so we can further assess the situation.

It's minor surgery.

What we do is excise the entire lump from your breast. If it's benign, we'll

sell a break.

If it's malignant, we'll have some decisions to make about chemo, about the

possibility of a mastectomy.

When would you like to do this?

I'd like to clear it for the end of the week.

The sooner the better.

Well, um...

I'll stay positive.

Um, Dr. Moore, I'd like to ask you a favor, not to say anything to Michael.

Um, we're not speaking, at least civilly.

It's a big hospital.

He doesn't have to know.

Look at you, the eternally tortured Dr.

Burns, looking positively happy.

Well, I have you to thank. You're the one who orchestrated getting me and Eve

together. You can't orchestrate love. You must know that by now.

And this is the way it should be. Everyone married to the right person.

Hey, Kyle, I just want to thank you for what you did. It meant everything to me.

I just hope that we can all be friends.

I hope that we can be.

Kyle! I want to thank you again for being my best man. I appreciate it. Hey,

problem. I guess we'll see you guys back in L .A.? Yeah, Amanda, I'll call you

when we get back.

Behave yourself. No, on second thought, don't behave yourself.

I know you're not sure we did the right thing, but see how happy they are.

Yeah, but you know what? There's one thing I know about secrets is they don't

stay secrets forever.

They always seem to find the light of day. When Peter finds out about this

I know I don't want to be around.

Oh, you won't.

It's just the way it'll have to be.

Well, if it isn't the Jezebel.

What are you doing here?

Interviewing my colleagues so you can get some dirt on me for your crazy

lawsuit. Oh, didn't you hear? Alex Bastian was here having a physical. I

ravaged him in his hospital gown.

Oh, that's a real knee -slapper, Jane.

You know, I love your sense of humor, and you're going to need it for the

deposition tomorrow.

Hi, Michael. How are you doing?

Jane, are you ready to go? Hey, hey, hey.

What's with this chummy Jane, you're ready to go thing?

Megan and I are going out to lunch. Yeah, lunch.

Really? Well, this can't be about an innocent burger and fries.

Why else would two ex -wives of mine go out if they weren't out to get me? You

know what? I forbid it.

Don't laugh. He forbids it. Yes, the king speaks.

Well, Jane, let's go before he beheads us.

Wait a minute. You know what, Michael? Touch me again, I will file a harassment

suit against you, too.

You are getting scary. I had a good teacher.

I don't want to go to work tonight.

What was that?

Wow. All right, I want to see the Spanzer twins again, also the Nelmans,

the group two, you're released. Group three, I need those forms filled out.

right.

What is going on here? The casting session from hell.

Steve's happy about it.

Hi. Hi.

Okay, okay, okay.

Oh, my, Amanda, thank God you're here.

I thought you said you had everything under control.

After we hung up the flavor fund baby food people called, they decided against

the twins they chose last week. They weren't jolly enough.

It's just tomorrow.

How do you make these things stop crying? There's not a button that you

I'm definitely not ready for parenthood.

Don't even think about it. You're like the boy.

Look at these figures.

If we don't find the baby face today, we're out. Studio money, photographer

props, wardrobe.

What do you see?

Huh?

What do you see?

What do you see?

Michael,

I'm working. What do you want? You know, Megan, I thought you were my friend.

I helped you escape your parents' Napa Valley garden parties.

I helped you out with Coop. I married you when you were a hooker.

I helped you start a whole new life.

So why? Why do you take Jane's side against me?

Michael, why does everything have to be about you, all right? All right, all

right. The other day you told me Jane had a personal problem.

What is it?

Michael, please leave.

Fine, fine. Okay, make me guess.

All right, so worse than our divorce.

Okay, what would that be?

A life?

Death?

Oh, my God.

Jane's having a baby?

Hey, is it Alex Bastian's?

Because I'm going to kill him, and I'm going to kill her in court. I'm not

to give her a penny. I'm telling you right now.

Oh, boy, all that denying.

Oh, I didn't sleep with Alex. I swear, Michael. Oh, right, it's blown up in her

face. She's having a Viking Worms baby?

Michael. Stop it. She's not pregnant, okay?

Not? No.

Well, then what is it? I mean, why else do two women hold each other's hands at

a hospital?

Megan?

Is she sick?

Is Jane sick?

I can't tell you.

Now, look.

You know, I work there. I have access.

I can find out whatever I want to, and I'll retail until I do. Michael,

wait, wait.

All right.

This is what's going on.

Jane has a breast tumor, and she's going in for surgery at the end of this week.

Oh.

Um, what did the doctor say?

Is it, um, is it malignant?

I don't know yet.

Our first night as husband and wife. How are we going to make this memorable?

I have a couple of ideas.

I took the first flight I could get, Doctor.

I figured our conversation should continue face to face.

Well, body to body.

Lexi! Oh, my God.

What is she doing here? Me?

What are you doing here? Oh, well, I thought you were here to grieve for your

father. No, I came here to get married to Eve.

But... Wait a minute. On the phone this morning, I told you that I loved you.

What? The phone went dead before I could tell her about the wedding. Have you

completely lost your mind? You don't even know her.

I'm not the one who's here uninvited, naked with a robe wrapped around her,

about ready to get thrown out of here on her butt. Come on.

Come on!

What did you... Move!

hurting my arm you made a big mistake coming here now your mistake was

that nobody her name is mrs burns get used to it

your other mistake was forgetting that i know you had amanda kidnapped i could

have you put behind bars buddy so if i say divorce her

I could have done to you.

Believe me, I'll do it.

She's never gonna bother us again. I promise you.

I knew everything was too good to be true. No, no.

I mean, they're selling my heart out waiting for you to jump in, but your

is in some cloud. Well, I was thinking about something else.

More important than a half -million -dollar account? Oh, well, I used to be

totally focused on that. It's what turned me on. But now I want to spend

time with Kyle, rearrange my life.

Amanda!

Oh, my God.

I didn't even see it. If you don't start paying attention, Amanda, you're not

going to spend another second with Kyle.

Then I poured lighter fluid on my wedding dress and burned it in the

think that completes Jane's right of this deposition.

Clearly, the damages she seeks in this divorce are warranted, and the court

surely recognize that.

And since your client has failed to present himself, we'll reconvene at a

date at Dr. Mancini's expense.

Sorry I'm late. Got held up at the hospital.

Okay, so, uh, you all know my name, et cetera, et cetera.

Here's the Bible. I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but

the truth, so help me God.

Not a malpractice deposition.

Okay, now for the really important questions. Counselor?

All right, fine.

Is it not true that you, Michael Mancini, humiliated Jane and caused her

emotional stress by verbally attacking her at your wedding? Well, technically

happened at the reception, but yes, that is true.

But you admit you publicly humiliated Jane.

Yes, I did. It was a terrible thing to do. Michael, I don't think it's... Mort,

it's okay.

You were asking?

Is it true you assaulted a business client of Jane's named Alex Bastian and

accused him of carrying on an affair with her? Hit him. Every chance I got.

Oh, no.

Dr. Mancini, were you attempting to seduce your ex -wife on the night of

marriage to Jane? Well, in my own defense, Megan, Megan Lewis, L -E -W -I

was doing a little bit of the seducing herself.

But, you know, she knows her stuff. She used to be a hooker.

Excuse me. I need to talk to Michael alone, please.

We'll be right outside.

What? You know, don't you? Did Megan tell you? Look, Jane, due to the

circumstances... Michael, you are not backing off on your lawsuit.

Please, don't get upset. It's not good for you. I am upset, Michael, and the

circumstances don't change a thing.

We're going through with this divorce, and I'm going to beat you fair and

square.

I've got a feeling it's the end of the day.

Hey, give me another sticker.

I've been celebrating.

Nuptial of Dr. Burns and Lil' Miss Songbird.

Happy, happy couple. I think it's time to cut you off, Lexi. It's like you and

your little happy wife, huh?

Where is she?

Is she at your apartment making a little cozy for you?

You know, your happy couple thing.

Lexi, have some coffee and go home.

Hey. I want you to cut her off. I'll be in my office if you need me. All right.

All right, everyone, put your hands together. Get with the beat.

Honey,

I got the beat, which is something I've noticed that you particularly have a

lack of. You're a real laugh riot, lady.

You know, I am so sick of all these crappy love songs.

Is there anything down and dirty like, um, like the dumped one's revenge?

Why don't you get off the stage?

No, no, no, because I have something to say, okay?

Love songs are bogus.

Romance.

Bogus. Looking for love. You can forget it.

Because it's like the Easter turkey.

It's a fairy tale.

Life sucks.

Hey, do you know that one? Life sucks?

Hey, come on down here. Honey.

Just wait right here. Let me tell you, this is nothing compared to landing buck

naked in the middle of someone else's honeymoon.

Come on, let's get you out of here.

Well, I can suddenly do right, huh? Get off me. I can walk just fine. Thank you.

Are you okay?

Oh, my God.

Do you find... Oh, wait, look.

Hey, you put me down.

I've got the car outside. I'm going to take her home. I'm going to rip your

off. I know you're a competent and talented woman, but I think tonight Lexi

more than you can handle. You know what? I don't need you, okay?

Hey,

what's up here, Ryan? You know what your pretty boy face needs?

He's a black eye.

Okay,

maybe you're right.

I do need you.

Hopefully she'll sleep it off.

All right, I'll stay.

You don't have to stay. I can stay.

No, I'll stay. She's my friend. Really, you can leave.

Okay, I get it. You don't want me here. In fact, you'd probably prefer if I

wasn't breathing.

So I'll just catch a cab. Don't worry about it. He's gonna kill me!

Oh, my God, Lexi! Somebody help me!

Come on.

Somebody help me! He's gonna kill me!

Oh, wait, wait, Ryan. Ryan's not gonna kill you. We're here to...

you i don't have ryan you ninny peter peter's gonna kill me just take my hand

you said that i don't keep my mouth shut thumbs down for me just because i love

him i get the thumbs down and he knows who to call he knows how to have it done

let me know oh my god he saved me crazy

Oh, my bed.

Oh, God, I love my bed.

Are you absolutely sure that Kyle's not there? He told me he'd be at the club

all night.

All right, well, have him call me as soon as you see him.

You looking for me?

Oh, it's crazy. I feel like I'm having a panic attack or something. I just

wanted to be close to you.

I didn't see that. I was feeling the same way, like I wanted to feast my eyes

upon you.

Did Ryan tell you that I was almost run over by a truck today?

What?

No. I mean, he was sitting down. Babe, you okay?

Well, um, I know this sounds strange, but I think it's another sign. A sign?

Like seeing you with the baby. What are you talking about signs?

In the last few days, things have been happening that seem important, like I'm

supposed to pay attention, like seeing how wonderful you look with the baby and

almost being run over.

And I think it's another sign to remind me that you never know when your time is

up.

I'm rattling on. I am so sorry.

Shh. It's okay, but we are going to stop the panic.

Okay? Okay.

I will make the place nice and cozy.

I will get us some wine.

Oh, my God.

What?

What is it?

I'm out of birth control pills.

I forgot to order my refill.

It's another sign.

You know, but I'm not sure that I'm following.

It's time for us to make a baby.

You mean tonight?

Are you sure?

I love you. I want us to have a baby.

Do you?

Yeah.

You have made me the happiest man in the world.

I want to love you so much.

Yeah? Oh.

Well,

we finally slept together.

Was it as good for you as it was for me?

Very funny.

I could definitely use some coffee.

Oh, gosh.

Hey, what you did for, um... Lexi was really, really nice. I mean...

I hear that you two do have a history.

Look, for the record, nothing is going on now. And the only reason we ever got

together was because you rejected me.

Well, you know what? It's really not on my business. No, I don't mind talking

about it.

I'd like to thank you two for pulling me through my

last hurrah as the pathetic Lexi Sterling.

Can't say it was a pleasure.

Yeah, well...

Starting today, I'm going to pull myself up on my bootstraps, and I'm going to

concentrate on business.

No more men.

Just money, power, and success.

Hey, I saw that look.

What look?

You don't believe me?

Well, like they say, actions speak a hell of a lot louder. Yeah, okay, all

right.

Fine, for my first good deed.

Ryan, you never gave a hoot about me.

And the hardest thing for me in our short and... Well, slightly perverse

relationship was knowing that you and Megan belong together.

I see it.

And you guys have this spark between you two. It's electric.

Honey, when are you going to get together and make some fireworks, huh?

You know, I really think I have to go to work now.

Well, didn't deny it.

Well, this is a nice surprise, you stealing me away from work the middle of

day. That's right.

Can't a guy take the mother of his children to a picnic on the beach?

Children? Yeah.

I think we should start with just one. No, I was thinking six.

I mean, you know, we'll start off with Betty, and then we'll move on to Barney.

Oh, okay.

Oh, man.

Oh, no.

Better get the gas in the tank.

Oh.

So much for the picnic.

I'll call AAA.

Yes, we're on Bayview Road, just about 20.

Bring a tank of gas.

Picnic is on.

It's amazing.

Wow.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking of?

That this would be a perfect place for us to build that dream house?

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Oh. It's Mercedes. Oh, you see that? It's destiny.

Destiny made us run out of gas right here.

Oh.

I've got to be kidding.

God, that makes me crazy. I mean, you and I, we both make good money.

We work hard. It still doesn't come close to buying a place like this. It's

okay.

Well, baby, I wish that I had barrels full of cash because I would buy you the

world. I don't need the world. I just need one of those turkey sandwiches in

picnic basket.

And you.

Where are we going?

Surprise. We're almost there.

These old wine cellars have got a lot of hidden tunnels and rooms.

The old goat built this. It was very protective of his wine.

It's beautiful.

Here we are.

Oh, now listen.

Only the privileged get to use the private room.

Eve?

I'm sorry. I know you went through a lot of trouble.

Are you all right?

I can't stay here. I've got to get out of here.

Sure.

God, it won't open.

It won't open. It's locked.

Here, here.

Eve!

I hate being closed in.

It's, uh...

It's a crazy kind of fear that I'm going to be locked away and forgotten.

You always think I'm a mess.

No, no, no.

I've ruined our honeymoon.

Everybody's afraid of something.

What are you afraid of?

Losing you.

You're driving everyone in pain.

You better not go down fast, girl.

To boil your truth up by your brain.

Lexi, didn't I throw you out of here last night? Yeah, well, that was the old

Lexi.

I'm here to tell you that you've seen the last of my pitiful lounge act.

And to say that I am sorry.

I also want to apologize for the rumors.

And the bitch sessions, and blaming you for Peter's loss of affection.

Well, the list goes on, but I don't want to exhaust myself.

You see, I've had an epiphany.

I realize that those who are truly successful, well, they're honest and

trustworthy. And they certainly don't make fools of themselves in bars.

Or boardrooms, for that matter.

Bitch, it's taken me this long to realize it, but better late than never.

I just wanted to let you know.

Thank you.

Will you buy any of that?

Leave.

Jane.

Where were you?

You should be resting. What are you doing out at midnight?

Just driving around thinking. No log in fact.

Listen, I looked at your test results.

and I checked your mammograms, and I called experts, and I want you to know

I want to help you.

I'd love a glass of wine, but I can't eat or drink before surgery.

I'm still standing here.

You haven't kicked me out.

I've been standing here for a full 20 seconds, and I still have all my teeth,

and you haven't kicked me out.

Yeah, well, I don't want to be alone tonight.

Let me stay with you.

I'll be here for you.

Hold on, Michael, please.

This is private property.

Yes, sir, I know. I'm only here for a minute. I'm the one that made you the

offer on the land earlier today. Oh, that's ridiculous.

I turned that offer down.

Yeah, I know. It was low, but it was all the money that I had.

Look, the agent told me that you visit the land every Friday afternoon.

How'd you get that out of her?

Took a little persuading.

You're determined, aren't you?

How are you waiting to do that?

Yeah, well, I had to give it my best shot for my wife, Amanda.

You see, sir...

We were headed out towards the beach, and we ran out of gas at the bottom of

your hill, and we saw the sign. We thought that... We thought maybe it was

destiny.

Destiny?

Bunch of hard wash.

You don't believe in signs, Mr. Hadley?

Yeah.

I don't really know if I do either, but...

My wife and I have been noticing lately that things are happening that are

making us reevaluate our lives.

You see, the other day she was almost run over.

It was a freak accident, but I could have lost her, and she is the best thing

that has ever happened to me in my life.

I'd do anything to make her happy.

Sir, I want to build her her dream house.

Signs. Foolish, huh?

This property... I bought this for my wife.

Built a dream house.

Did you ever do it? I mean, I don't see a foundation.

Today we were meant to break ground.

She died.

Freak car accident.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Couldn't build that.

Couldn't bear to think about selling it. I wanted to...

move on.

But the time never felt quite right.

Yeah, well, I understand that.

I mean, the timing seemed right for a man and I to make the offer and dream

about raising a family here.

I wouldn't have been able to get it out of my mind if I hadn't at least given it

a shot.

You thought it might be destiny, huh?

Yeah.

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.

Call Smith and Jay back tomorrow.

I want you to confirm Clancy on the checkered artwork.

And I want you to send some flowers over to Amanda's office for me.

To Amanda?

Yeah, roses.

And have the card read, I'm looking forward to a rosy future as friendly

competitors.

So it is true.

You did bury the hatchet.

Well, I tried.

I just don't know if they bought it.

But I'm not letting my Amanda guard down.

You know what they say.

It's easier to get close enough to stab a friend than it is an enemy.

You should tell it a secret.

All work and no play makes Megan a dull girl.

Megan Lewis.

Figured you'd still be working.

Ryan, hi.

Can I help you? Yeah, Amanda piled all this work on me, but I was thinking of

taking a dinner break if you, uh, care to join me.

One -syllable word, yes.

No, I can't. I'm really swamped. Look, even your boss thinks we should.

All right, well, maybe next time, huh?

Maybe. That's the most encouragement you've given me in a long time, Megan.

I'm going to hold you too, maybe.

Bye.

I got your message to meet you here. What's going on?

You know what? I just couldn't get this place out of my mind.

Oh, it's a beautiful spot, but we can't afford it.

Yeah.

Well, wait a second. Go back. What?

The property is already sold.

Oh. Well,

it's a definite sign.

I mean, it's a real sign, and then it's a, you know, it's a sign sign.

Let's stop torturing ourselves and go home.

You know what?

Before we leave, I think there's one more sign that we should check out.

I don't believe it. Believe it.

I talked to the owner. It turns out we were the right people at the right time.

It's ours?

It's ours, baby. Really ours.

It's our destiny.

Oh, my God.

Hey.

Hey.

You must have heard the great news.

Yeah. Congratulations on a clean bill of health. Thank you. Put them there.

Sure.

Michael,

I am... You know, when you were in surgery, a lot of stuff went through my

First time I ever saw you, our first date, our first wedding.

You know, the good times and bad times. Everything up until last night, which I

have to tell you, I consider one of the most important times that we've spent

together. Michael, I... I mean, it was, um, just you and me.

Not fighting, not making love, just being together.

And, um, well, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

All this pettiness, this mistrust, you know, it had to end.

And as far as I'm concerned, it has.

Michael, about... We're lucky that we're married so I can forego the proposal

and we can get right to the honeymoon.

Michael, stop.

Time to listen.

Oh, yeah, sure. Sure. Go ahead.

Last night didn't change my mind about us splitting up, not being together.

But we're going to be together.

No, we're not. At least not as husband and wife.

Last night was about me needing someone and...

I appreciate you being there. So I could have been anyone?

What I'm trying to say is that I appreciated you being there for me as

friend. Wait, what is this friend stuff?

Friend, I mean... I'm your lover.

I'm your husband, the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with up to a

few weeks ago.

Jane, I just bared my soul to you.

I love you.

Were you listening to that?

Michael, it's not going to work. I don't want a life of turmoil. I want peace

and happiness. Well, I can be as peaceful and happy as the next guy, but

want to be your friend. Maybe not now, but... No, no, never.

Do you know why?

Because a friend wouldn't pursue the kind of messy divorce that I'm going to

throw at you.

No, I am going to wipe you out, Jane.

I'm going to smear your good name. I'm going to make you wish you never met me.

Damn it.

What could you do this time?

I'll see you in court.

Who is it?

It's okay. It's alright.

It's alright.
