Morning.

David, hi.

You know what, I'm just about to get going so...

I just need a minute, two tops.

No, look, if this is about Noah...

No, why would this be about Noah?

Well, I don't know. Maybe 'cause the last time I saw you,

all you wanted to do was argue about him.

That was before I

realized what an angel you were.

Don't. Angel?

You know, I lie.

I give you every reason to hate me

and you still come through.

How did I come through?

Donna...

By paying off my debt to Sands.

Sands? Everett Sands.

The guy I borrowed the money from, the loan shark.

And I promise,

I'll pay you back, all right? All 15 grand.

When did you borrow money from this guy?

What do you mean, when? When?

As in before or after you confessed

to being in so much trouble?

Before. So what you

said was the truth was really a lie.

It wasn't you, was it?

You...

you didn't pay off Sands?

No.

How could it be?

You kept it a secret from me, just like everything else.

I think you should go now.

Don...

David.

Please. Come on, let's go.

Wait a second,

you're kicking me out?

Yeah. Good-bye.

So what does Brandon think of your new haircut?

He loves it. Good.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning. Mmm!

Did you ever hook up with Dylan?

Yeah, about ten minutes ago.

You didn't tell him about me, did you?

Didn't have to.

Iris, right?

Actually, she did you a favor, if you think about it.

You don't want to go live with Dylan?

No way.

Are you serious?

Mm-hmm.

KELLY: It was her idea.

She knows how close you and Dylan are.

Not that she doesn't want you.

She does. It's just

she thinks that for now it would be better

if custody were transferred to Dylan.

This is so cool.

But I can't leave yet.

Not while you're still in trouble because of me.

I'm not in trouble. What about

the district attorney?

Eh, she threatened me. I called her bluff.

She's torturing somebody else already. (doorbell rings)

It's over.

Don't worry.

BRANDON: I'm telling you,

she's forgotten all about me.

Brandon Walsh, we have a warrant for your arrest.

You are being charged with being an accessory to a felony,

Section 32 of the Penal Code.

Brandon, what's going on?

It's just a misunderstanding, Kel.

Call a lawyer, will you?

OFFICER: You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up your right to remain silent,

anything you say can and will

be used against you in a court of law.

Hi.

Hey, Carly. How is he?

TERRI: Well, on a scale

of one to ten? 2,000.

I-I like kids.

Oh, who's kidding? I love kids.

But other people's kids.

Maybe even my kids, too, when I'm ready,

but I'm not even ready yet!

Uh, Danish?

You have to eat.

You think this is my kid?

How long until you get the test results back?

46 hours and 29 minutes.

Give or take.

I think you'd be pretty exacting, too,

if your world was coming to an end.

Well, I thought you were at peace with this.

I haven't slept in days.

I'm literally so anxious,

I-I can feel...

my heart racing in my chest!

Ah, I get sick when I think about

what Jodi's doing to me.

She's only asking

for your help if it's your child.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

Is it?

Because it doesn't.

She wants this kid, and it's her choice.

I've got no choice.

Nothing. Zip!

Zilch! Zero!

(phone ringing)

Yeah, what?!

Lawyer?

Yeah, I'm sure he can.

All right. I'm on it. I'm there.

What?

Brandon got arrested today.

We can't touch.

Are you okay?

Yeah, sure, all things considered.

They took my belt

and my watch.

Really don't feel the need to spend

much more time inside.

I can't believe this is happening.

Steve talked to Rush.

He's got a lawyer working on bail.

She says I should be home in time for dinner.

Did she say how to get these ridiculous charges dropped?

She didn't have to tell me.

I know.

I'm not doing it.

Brandon. Kel...

we've been over this.

Then let's go over it again.

No.

Brandon, you could go to jail for five years.

But I won't.

I'm doing the right thing.

Not according to the D.A.

The D.A.'s wrong and a judge and jury will see that.

And what if they don't?

They will.

But what if they don't?

Okay, let me get this straight.

Donna dumps you.

She immediately starts seeing Noah,

and you think she's the one who bailed you out?

It was a selfless thing to do

and I don't know many selfless people.

Present company excluded.

Hey, I would've asked you if you weren't, uh, unemployed

and broke. Thanks. I think.

Steve, Kelly and Brandon don't have that kind of cash.

Well, uh, how about your dad?

No way.

Noah's broke.

Carly's broke.

Donna's...

Sleeping with the enemy.

She is not. Okay.

Petting with the enemy. It still hurts.

What about asking your friend, uh, the loan shark?

Sands?

What and be mistaken for a punching bag again?

No, thanks.

Well, maybe he'll treat me with more respect.

Why are you so interested in who paid off my debt?

Don't you want to know who bailed you out?

Yeah.

What was I thinking? Money!

Let me guess.

You caught a whiff of that cold, hard cash.

Just let me know how you got ahold of Sands.

Dan, the Bartender.

Well, you can't

find a loan shark in the Yellow Pages.

Well, then we'll just have a little chat with Dan.

Oh, boy.

(heater humming)

(knocking) Come in.

Hey. Hey, stranger.

What's up with the camera gear?

I just thought I'd take some test shots of the boat.

There's talk of a shoot here.

Shoot away.

It's been a long time.

Yeah, I, uh, I've been working real hard.

So you just stopped by to check on your boat, huh?

You mad?

No, I just prefer honesty is all.

You didn't stay away because of work.

You stayed away because of David.

Look, David and I just broke up.

I just felt like I was moving too fast.

Is that bad?

No, it's just not what I would have done.

You know, maybe me coming here wasn't such a good idea.

That's your call.

You're not giving me much here.

Look, what happened last week

was pretty spur of the moment.

We shouldn't feel guilty about it.

It's what we do next that counts.

So what do we do next?

Take some test shots.

Beyond that, we'll just wait and see what happens.

I know you think what Brandon's doing is wrong,

but try to see things from his side.

Like you're doing with Jodi?

That's different.

No, it's the same.

They're both facing hard decisions

and they're making choices that we don't like.

Brandon's fighting for a principle.

Jodi's trying to change my life.

That's a whole different ball game.

I guess you're right, but, Steve,

if Brandon goes to jail, it's going to change my life, too.

RUSH: Hello, you two.

Hi, Dad. DONNA: Hey.

You're looking good, son.

Hi, Kelly. Hey.

How are you?

All right, depending on your news. All right.

Brandon made bail.

He'll be out in a few minutes.

Thank you for all of your help.

Just a little debt of gratitude

I owe this guy for putting me on the straight

and narrow. You're not still mad at me for the sweatshop deal?

Well, it was a hell of a life's lesson.

Mad? Couldn't be more proud.

What about this fiasco?

BRANDON: Free at last. Free at last.

STEVE: Well, he emerges unscathed.

Completely.

Hey, baby.

Uh, Kelly, Steve, this is Ann.

Ann, this is Kelly and Steve.

Hi. Hello. Ann's my new hero.

You should've heard what she said to bust me out of there.

ANN: Nothing I don't believe in.

Freedom of the press, the First Amendment--

those are easy to defend.

And to promote, too.

I can see the headlines now.

"Editor Imprisoned: Martyr For the Rights of Others."

What do you think? You sure you really want to use the word

"martyr" in the headline? Why not?

I love it.

Yeah, we should do a second edition.

Pump it up. That's not a bad idea.

You guys act like you won something.

Kel?

No.

What do we do now?

Mills wants us back here tomorrow morning

for a meeting, 8:00.

Don't you see, Brandon? It's not over.

It's barely started.

you're out of debt... Maybe your luck's turned, huh?

I hope so.

MAN: Fire! DAVID: Please! Please!

Be careful! Be careful!

Everything's going to be okay, just relax.

Single file.

Single file, that's the way. Dan!

Call 911!

(fire alarm blares)

(coughing)

Everybody's safe.

I called the fire department. It's all right.

The fire's out, the fire's out.

What was that you were saying about my luck?

(sirens approaching)

Lighten up, David.

At least the place didn't burn down.

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

I'm homeless.

(indistinct chatter)

I told you to get him four of the Polish stuff

and two of the Russian.

Now!

What a jerk.

Who, me?

I've got a terrible feeling that you're lost.

Well, not if you're Everett Sands.

Guilty as charged.

Well, then I'm in the right place.

Hi, I'm Valerie Malone.

I'm a friend of Dan's from the After Dark.

Are you in difficulty?

'Cause, um, I could set up some very favorable terms.

Yeah, I'm sure you could.

But I'm here because of a friend of mine.

David Silver.

You want to do business with me, we'll do business.

Not talk about other people's business.

Well, I was hoping maybe I could bribe you.

I don't know, with my charm.

Seems to me you have quite a lot of that.

What's your angle?

Well, just think of me as a nice girl with bad habits.

I might need someone to bail me out sometime.

A name would be really helpful.

You didn't hear it from me.

Hunter.

Noah Hunter.

Noah Hunter?

You must have the wrong name.

I didn't ask for his I.D.,

but that's definitely the guy's name.

Noah Hunter.

He's a bum.

Maybe, but he's a bum with a lot of cash in his jeans.

No way. He's broke.

He works on boats for a living.

I don't know what he does for fun.

But believe me, this kid is loaded.

And I'm not talking chump change either.

This is serious money.

Excuse me.

BRANDON: My position has the support

of the Bill of Rights, Miss Mills.

It seems to me that the Constitution

carries a little more weight than what...

I don't need a lecture from you

on the constitutional law, Mr. Walsh.

I'm the assistant district attorney.

My responsibility is the safety

of the citizens of this county.

Once again, being an accessory

means preventing the arrest, prosecution...

And incarceration of an alleged felon.

I know what the statute says.

Then you should also know that you're violating it.

The letter,

maybe, not the spirit. Do you think

that your source is the only teenager working for Riggs?

No.

Do you think that she's the only one he abused?

No. How many

do you think that he's abused since you

first refused to disclose your source?

This isn't getting us anywhere.

MILLS: Three? Four?

And how many kids does he have to destroy before

you stop protecting him?

Miss Mills.

Please.

He beats them.

Even when they work for him,

he beats them; what do you think he's going to do

to someone who turns him in?

We'll protect her.

For now, maybe.

What about in a month, when you've moved on to another case?

What about in a year, when Riggs gets out on parole?

What're you going to do for her then?

I thought a day in jail would bring you back to your senses.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

I'm not giving you my source.

Then I'll see you in court.

And that'll

be very soon.

♪ ♪

You look as though you slept in the car.

That'd be correct.

There's too much smoke damage in the club to sleep there.

How long is it going to take to clean it up?

The question isn't how long, it's with what.

Please tell me you have insurance.

I had insurance. I had lots of it.

I also had a lot of bills:

premium payments, rent,

rent...

I went for the roof over my head.

It was a bad choice.

You know, the landlord can kick you out for this.

She doesn't know yet.

Something like this, word spreads.

Hey, man, I'm sorry about the club.

No big deal.

It's just a little smoke damage.

I'm glad to hear that.

I'm sorry, are we friends?

You tell me.

No, we're not.

Nothing happened between me and Donna.

You tell me she's still with you and nothing ever will, okay?

She's still with me.

Is that the truth?

You didn't ask for the truth.

I am now.

What would it matter?

Look, it would.

You go to hell, all right?

Hi. I'm Kelly Taylor.

We have an appointment with Dr. Monahan.

You and everyone else.

How long's the wait?

You have a 10:30 appointment; he should get to you around noon.

Good-bye.

Erica.

All these people and there's only one doctor?

Most people, they didn't go four years to med school

to ask a bunch of poor folk to say "ah."

Kelly, I thought you said this place was run

by that foundation you work at.

Well, we can't force

people to work here.

Well, the doctor who volunteered must have graduated,

what, last in his class?

Either that or he's incredibly dedicated

and totally caring.

JODI: That's why you asked me here?

Yes. To tell you what I'd be willing to do.

To tell me you're willing to give me

a thousand dollars a month.

If the kid's mine.

A thousand dollars a month I didn't ask for.

If the kid is mine.

Let me tell you something-- if the child is yours,

you are legally required to pay support, okay?

So thanks for nothing.

You're a jerk. You know that?

I'm a jerk?

You show up

out of nowhere, turn my life upside down and I'm a jerk, huh?

Well, I'm sorry.

It's just that I'm carrying

the most precious baby inside of me,

and you seem to think that I am carrying

this incredible burden.

This isn't about how I feel about the baby.

And I resent you saying that.

Well, a father is a father.

Not just an ATM.

Hey, kid.

Thought I'd see what you've done to the place.

Check in on Brandon.

How's he doing?

Hello?

Hey, Dad, when you got my birth mother pregnant,

how did you handle it?

What do you mean?

I mean, did you accept responsibility right away?

No. No, not right away.

Why?

I was just curious.

Hey.

If you're here to criticize, I'll save you the trouble.

No, I-I heard about the fire.

And I, I just wanted to see if you needed anything.

Really? Heard from who?

David...

From who?

The point is...

No, the point is...

you heard from Noah, right?

What, were you guys on a date, on a sail,

walking on the beach

hand in hand?

Yeah, I did, I, I heard it from him.

But I'm concerned.

And I thought that i-if you need a place to stay,

maybe you could come back to the apartment.

You know, until you get things in order.

What things would those be?

My office?

My finances?

My love life?

What?

Look, you need a place to stay.

I have a room. You still have your key?

I don't believe you.

Yesterday, you-you practically kicked me out of the apartment,

and what, now you want me to move back in?

That was yesterday.

Today you're in trouble, and I want to help you.

I don't need your help.

David, you can't sleep in your car.

Where I sleep and what I do is my business, all right?

Not yours.

(sighs)

(knocking)

Yeah, yeah, keep your pants on.

God, you bastard!

What's the matter with you? I can't believe you!

Hey, that's enough!

What's this about?

(grunts) You do that one more time,

I'm gonna slap you right back, you hear me?

You know what? Maybe you should.

Maybe that'll knock some sense into me!

God, all this time I believed your lies.

What are you talking about, my lies?

You, your money.

You're loaded, aren't you?

So tell me, how rich is rich, huh?

Did Brandon tell you?

Brandon knew?

No, he kept your nasty little secret.

God!

I didn't think it was any of your business and I still don't.

But you made it David's business, didn't you?

I mean, you bailed him out, right?

He doesn't know anything about that, okay?

Unless you tell him.

You can count on it.

You see, I want people

to like me for who I am, and you...

I liked you for who you were.

You didn't act like it.

And how about the way you acted, huh?

All high and mighty about my lying?

Well, who's the liar now?

Look, it's complicated.

I got a lot of things to figure out right now.

You know what? All I keep hearing is about a guy

who can't even tell himself the truth.

Save the explanations for Donna.

She's not gonna be happy about your lying either.

You were here this morning.

And you want to see the doctor again?

Yes.

He's just about through for the day.

Wait, Miss...! Excuse me!

Hi, I'm Kelly Taylor.

Oh, hi, yeah. It's okay.

You're from the Foundation.

You-you came in, you brought the girl in

for the antibiotic earlier? Right.

Right. I'll be with you in just a second. Okay.

This young man has a stomachache, right?

Can you tell me where it hurts?

Hmm? Right there, right there?

Well, let's take a listen.

Hmm. Can you cough?

(coughs)

Good. Again.

Yeah.

So what have you been doing at the Foundation?

Oh, I've been, uh, sort of rotating through different jobs.

But I was thinking you could use a good administrator.

What I could use is someone to comfort these people.

It's just indigestion. Keep him on a bland diet,

he'll be okay. Huh?

Give me five. (chuckles)

They're scared when they come in here.

They don't understand what's wrong with them.

The paperwork's confusing.

Some of them don't even speak English.

They need reassurance.

I can give them that.

Or I can try.

When can you start?

I just have to clear it with the Foundation higher-ups.

Maybe later this week.

I'll see you then.

Great.

Welcome to hell. (chuckles)

Thanks.

So, what was her name?

Who, her?

No, the girl you got pregnant.

I mean I can put two and two together.

Or in this case, one and one.

Look, slow down, Dad.

I don't know that I got her pregnant, okay?

Her name's Jodi.

So what are you planning

on doing about Jodi?

Well, she wants me to participate.

I told her that it wasn't practical for me.

Hmm.

Well, she's right, and you're wrong.

I hardly know her.

I hardly knew your birth mother.

Which is why you bolted when you got her pregnant.

Mm. I took responsibility for you.

Yeah, when? Right away?

I don't think so.

(sighs)

It took a few weeks, sure.

I don't blame you for needing the same.

A few weeks?

It's gonna take a lot more than that.

My life's over, Dad.

You only think so now.

But from where I sit,

getting your birth mother pregnant...

the best thing that ever happened to me.

Because I've got you.

(dialing tones)

(knocking at door)

RECORDING: It's Noah. Leave a message, and I might return.

Bad time?

No. Hi, I just...

um...

You got a date or something?

Depends.

I'm a pretty secretive guy.

I have a hard time opening up, I stop by without calling,

I love hot Indian food,

and, uh, I always say what's on my mind.

No, you don't.

What?

Say what's on your mind.

Dinner.

Dinner?

And probably dessert.

So if what happened before, you know,

was just an accident, what would this be?

Deliberate, pre-meditated.

Full of possibilities.

That's fair.

There's something else on my mind.

What?

I'm not as broke as I made it seem.

(phone rattles in cradle)

What exactly does that mean?

I'm one of the Hunters.

Hunter Oil?

That's my family.

Is this some kind of joke?

No, it's not.

So, what? You... you've just been lying to all of us?

(chuckles) What did you expect me to say?

Couldn't you just have been honest with me?

I was trying to.

I was running away. I wanted to see what it'd be like

to be someone other than Noah Hunter.

Believe me,

it's a long, confused list.

Do you like chicken vindaloo?

It's Indian food.

Kind of a peace offering.

With hot chilies?

Is there any other kind?

Mm. You're buying.

DAVID: Um...

I was, I was planning on calling you.

JILL: Let me guess, your phone book

got burned in the fire?

Well, it could have.

The fire marshal says he hasn't been informed

which insurance company to file his report with.

NAT: You know, there's really not that much damage

here-- probably wouldn't be more than the deductible.

Let's cut to it, shall we?!

You have no insurance. You can't pay for repairs.

You're always

behind on your rent.

And your lease is up.

I can do better.

And I'm sure you will... somewhere else.

VALERIE: Brandon...

you knew the whole time? About Noah?

When did you find out?

What difference does that make?

You want a prize for keeping me in the dark?

It wasn't like that, Val.

You knew I lost my money!

Look, Brandon, look, you knew how I felt about Noah.

Brandon?

Look, you know what this meant to me.

Is this about him, or is this about you?

You made me look like an idiot, okay?

Thanks for nothing.

What was Valerie bagging about?

She's just trying to blame me

for her two-timing Noah.

Oh, that makes sense.

Yeah.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

Um, I'm gonna be moving

to a new position at the Foundation.

I'm gonna be helping out at a free clinic.

That sounds exciting.

Congratulations.

Thanks. Now, Brandon,

I think that you should talk to Erica about her helping you.

Kel, it's the end of a very long day.

I don't want to have another fight.

What do you want?

Riggs in jail with the key thrown away.

You can do that.

Sure, by catching him in the act...

having the police arrest him on a different charge.

That you can't do.

Sure, he can.

I thought you were sleeping.

All you have to do is gain his trust.

And how do I do that?

By using me.

(knocking)

Hi. Uh, come on in. I'm putting Zach to bed.

Steve?

Carly, I'm gonna do it...

...if-if it's mine.

I'm gonna take responsibility.

Be a real father.

ZACH: Mom!

In a second, honey.

Why don't you go brush your teeth?

I know this may hurt what you and I have.

Mom!

God knows you have a lot on your plate.

So I... I'd certainly understand

if you didn't want to be a part of this.

But I do.

You do?

Yeah.

Oh.

Mom.

Can you finish the story?

You better finish that story.

Give me a few?

You'll be there with me tomorrow?

The doctor's office?

I wouldn't be anywhere else.

Come on.

It wasn't too hot.

Oh, yeah? I saw your eyes watering.

It wasn't the vindaloo.

It was... something you said moved me.

Oh, right.

But I was thinking about your eyes, too.

Uh-huh? Nice save.

You know, I'm glad you were honest about the money.

It must have been tough.

I had a really nice time tonight.

So did I. In a deliberate, pre-meditated kind of way.

(laughs)

Is there any other kind?

Not anymore.

Good night.

Good night.

Hi.

(gasps)

David, what-what are you doing here?

Um...

I was trying to get a good night's sleep.

I thought you said you weren't coming here tonight.

I kind of wish I hadn't.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

Not half as sorry as I am.

(laughs)

Please don't be mad at me.

I really couldn't handle you being mad at me.

Well, I guess that depends on where you've been.

And how much money you've made me.

Come on.

I was in Las Vegas. Uh-huh?

And I suppose I should have called.

Yeah, you're damn right you should have called.

ERICA (over wire): Look, I made out pretty good.

RIGGS: Oh, really? That's what you always say, sweet thing.

And you're always lying to me.

ERICA: Look, this time it's true, okay? Honest.

We never should have agreed to do this. He's hurting her.

We've got her covered.

BRANDON: We didn't really have much of a choice, Kel.

This way, Riggs'll think Erica's been arrested, as well.

The only people testifying against her in court

will be the detectives.

KELLY: So we're

protecting her? Yes.

Then why are we putting her in danger?

RIGGS: Good, let's see it.

Take it.

(mutters)

Whoa. Not bad. Mm-hmm.

Hey, maybe all your little girlfriends

have been wrong about you.

And another thing.

This guy, the one over there, he does major crack.

RIGGS: Oh, yeah? Where'd you find him?

ERICA: Coming out of some club on Santa Monica.

We went to party. Please talk to my friend.

(laughs)

You know, it's a good thing you're pretty,

because you're one bad-tempered little thing.

Come on. Introduce me to him.

Walk him over to the car, go on. BRANDON: All right

You've got him on possession. If he solicits,

you get him on dealing, too, right?

Yeah, not only drugs, but maybe a concealed weapon, too.

Wait, you think he's carrying a gun?

The more we get him on, the longer he goes away.

If she's hurt...

PATE: Don't worry. The guy behind the cocaine

is the best detective we have.

Hi.

I understand you're looking to connect, huh?

I really need a couple of dimes. You holding?

Oh, you're buying, I'm selling.

Here you go.

Looks good. How much?

We're talking a Franklin here.

My favorite president.

Good.

Here you go, my friend. Gracias, amigos.

All right, now!

(tires squealing)

(siren wailing)

Hold it!

Hands in the air! Come on. What?

OFFICER: Freeze! Don't move! What's going on?

(indistinct voices)

You're under arrest for possession with intent

to distribute. What? What's going on?

PATE: Get her in! Get in the car. Come on.

Riggs, don't leave me! Riggs!

Hey, it's all right, honey. Don't worry about it.

Everything's gonna be fine. Come on, take it easy.

PATE: Al, call it in. Code four. Suspect's in custody.

(siren wails)

Come on, sweetie.

You okay?

You think he bought it?

Yeah. You did good.

Mr. Sanders. Miss...?

Reynolds.

We have the results of the DNA testing for Jodi Carlyle.

And?

It's negative.

(exclaiming)

Ah!

Yes.

You have only a one in five billion chance

of being the father. I'm not the father?

No. You're not.

Thank you so much.

If you have any more questions, I'll be down the hall.

It's over.

No.

A little something I've got to talk to Jodi about.

Come on.

You look like hell.

Funny, that's exactly where I've been.

You know, I never noticed Noah's pitchfork before.

You were on the boat?

Hmm. The apartment.

Donna offered me a room.

Unfortunately, she offered Noah everything else.

You know, seeing them kiss?

That I didn't need.

Well, it gets worse.

That's not possible.

Noah was the one who paid off your loan.

Noah?

No way.

Way. Way, way.

Apparently he's a bit better off

than he led us to believe.

Millions better off.

You're serious.

So, he steals my girl and saves my butt at the same time?

Maybe he thought it would soften the blow.

Well, I'm gonna go let him know it didn't.

(knocking at door)

She's here.

Hi. Hi.

Come in.

I heard.

Congratulations, I guess.

What are you going to do about the kid?

I'm going to be a good mom.

You know, Jodi, you let me think I was the only guy.

Well, there was someone else just before I met you.

I can't believe you lied about something so important.

I... I can't believe that.

He was okay, I guess,

but I was hoping that you would turn out to be the guy.

That's no excuse for putting me through hell.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

Are you going to tell the real father?

Yeah.

Look, Steve... Look...

let's just hope he does the right thing.

For the kid's sake.

Yeah, I hope he does, too.

(door closes)

(sighs)

Ready.

KELLY: So, you've got everything?

Passport...

tickets... and a pretty incredible story for Dylan.

Well, it's not exactly a fairy tale,

but at least it has a happy ending.

Yeah, thanks to you guys.

Please, if it wasn't for you, I'd be in prison right now.

You know, no one's ever stood up for me like that before.

I'll never forget it.

We've got to get going.

Brandon? Hmm?

If things hadn't worked out,

would you have gone to jail for her?

That depends if I could have gotten conjugal visits or not.

Donna, hey.

Hey.

Is, uh... is Noah here with you?

Um...

Hey, Donna.

David, I want to talk to you.

Noah, hey. (chuckles)

I didn't ask for your help.

You were in trouble. I was trying to help you, man.

You're a real friend.

The point is, you're back in business.

No, I'm back in business until my lease expires next week.

You got an indefinite extension, believe me.

Wait a second, you didn't...

Buy her out?

I made her an offer. You know what I'm saying?

What do you think, you can just take Donna from me and then

make everything all right by NOAH: That's not the way it happened.

throwing your money around? You guys, calm down, okay?

Don't worry about me.

Run your club.

You know what?

I don't want to run the club.

You run it.

DONNA: David?

What just happened?

Just what I was afraid of. My money is ruining everything.

Noah!

(sighs)
