Original subtitles

ATTORNEY KAY: So, when you came to,

you realized you'd been drugged.

Correct? Yes.

Beverly Hills police confirmed positive

for Rohypnol in your blood.

That's right.

Rohypnol-- isn't that what's known as the date rape drug?

Yes, it is.

So, in slang terms, you'd been roofed.

The drug had been slipped into your drink.

Yes.

Well, how did this make you feel?

Um... woozy?

I was completely disoriented.

So, tell us, Ms. Malone,

after the Rohypnol wore off,

how did you become aware

that you had been raped?

Objection! I'll rephrase.

Go on.

When you came to in Noah Hunter's office,

were your clothes on

or off? They were off.

And who was next to you getting dressed?

Noah Hunter.

Is he here in this courtroom today? Yes, he is.

Would you point him out to us, please?

And the person who admitted

to having sex with you that night,

is he here in the courtroom today?

VALERIE: Yes.

Would you identify him, please?

The defendant, Noah Hunter.

No further questions.

Miss Evans, your witness.

Miss Malone,

have you ever faked a pregnancy?

Objection! Argumentative.

Overruled.

Have you, Miss Malone?

Well, uh, once, sort of.

"Once, sort of."

And this fake pregnancy,

wasn't it part of

a failed blackmail scheme?

Yes.

To get money from a man with whom you were having an affair?

Yes.

And weren't you also arrested

"once, sort of" for bookmaking?

Yes.

And wasn't this also a scheme

to gain money through illegal means?

Yes.

EVANS: I see.

Tell me, Miss Malone,

were you and Mr. Hunter ever lovers?

For a short time.

You were in love with him, correct?

Maybe... yes.

EVANS: Is that why you struck Mr. Hunter?

Pardon me?

After Mr. Hunter broke up with you,

you slapped him across the face.

Why? Well, he lied to me.

He lied to you?

About what?

Well, he told me he was broke and I found out he had money.

I see. So, that angered you.

Yes.

EVANS: But while you were still together

and you thought Mr. Hunter had no money,

you cheated on him with a rich man--

a Cooper Hargrove.

Well, yes... but I-I only saw Cooper a few times.

But when Mr. Hunter learned about the liaison,

what happened?

He broke up with me.

So, as you said,

shortly thereafter you found out

Mr. Hunter was rich and that angered you.

In fact, weren't you furious, Miss Malone?

No.

That you had once again missed your chance at the big score?

Objection! Argumentative.

Just like you missed your chance with the faked pregnancy.

Just like you had missed your chance

when you were arrested for bookmaking.

No! JUDGE: Miss Evans!

She won't even let her finish!

Isn't that why you consented

to have sex with Mr. Hunter that night?

Because he had spurned you,

because you had contrived a way

to get back at him? JUDGE: Miss Evans,

that is enough.

Because you want revenge.

No, he raped me!

Did he, Miss Malone?

Did he really?

I thought you were keeping an open mind about this.

I was until Noah's attorney shut it.

Valerie should've settled.

For 200,000 when she thought

she could have 10 million? Not our Val.

I just can't believe she's doing this for money.

Brandon, didn't you hear the testimony?

The lies, the scams.

Yeah, I heard it and it's beside the point.

Why are you so blind when it comes to this girl?

This isn't about her.

It's about him.

Last time I checked,

Noah was the one on trial. Really?

Could've fooled me.

You know, the jury couldn't stop drooling

over Valerie's past. Valerie's no nun, David.

Her character isn't the issue here, Steve.

Guys, why don't we just stick to the facts, okay?

The DA didn't file criminal charges. Because

he couldn't get a conviction, not because it didn't happen.

Okay, so you're on Valerie's side.

No, I'm just saying, I think-- Look, Brandon,

in a situation like this, if you're

not with her, you're against her.

I don't think so.

I do.

But at least I know

what side you're on now.

Don't twist what I said, Val.

Why? Everybody's mangling what I say.

Okay.

You know what? He has always been there for you.

He's the one who defends you.

More than I can say for the rest of you guys.

But it's not enough.

Hey, come on, don't let her get to you, all right?

So, what do you think, is the jury with me?

What, are you kidding?

After the way your attorney carved her up?

No question. Let's go.

These painkillers-- aren't you overdoing it?

My back's killing me.

Besides, they're not painkillers.

Yeah, I gave Donna a couple of my D-amphetamines.

One time, man. No big deal.

No big deal, huh? These are prescription drugs.

I took a couple uppers to stay awake, okay? Look, I know.

I'm just saying, even with the pressures at work,

you gotta go easy.

Did I ask for your advice or...?

Okay... I'll tell you what,

I'll catch you later, huh, Noah?

Look, I know the trial's upsetting you.

And your concern,

it really is very touching.

But if you think I'm gonna sit

in there and listen to the trash they're talking...

Look, I'm not a rapist.

And there's no other way to prove it.

Your lawyers

are making Valerie out to-- to be some kind of tramp.

She's just trying to convince the jury

that Valerie's a schemer.

Yes, she is a schemer.

And you slept with her, didn't you?

Look, I got a job to do.

When court resumes this afternoon,

don't expect me to be here.

There's gotta be a way of, like...

We gotta rearrange this whole...

If we-- okay, if we move the bridge--

Um, who's the suit?

JASPER: I have no idea,

but I think we're about to find out.

MAN: Sounds like a winner, guys.

Frank Saunders.

Q5's senior VP for production.

I thought that was Lola's job.

They haven't told you yet?

There's been a bit of a shake-up.

There's a new team in place now.

And let me guess, uh... she's not on it.

We're going for a new sound. A new approach.

Lola was a big supporter of ours.

She thought you both were very talented--

yes.

Would you excuse me?

I'm gonna give her a call.

Absolutely.

Look, um...

this new sound...

Don't worry, David--

the new sound, it's yours.

It is?

Great, okay.

Great, I mean,

this is huge opportunity for us, you know... David, David--

I'm sorry, it's-it's your sound, David.

It's not Jasper's.

Um...

...the name of the band is Jasper's Law.

Maybe.

But the guy we're interested in...

is you.

GWINNET: The good news is

Remmington loves Donna's Child's Play collection.

They've committed to some big numbers.

They've got the whole crew working nonstop

to fill the order.

You feeling all right, Donna?

No residual back pain from the accident?

Oh, tell me about back pain.

No, I'm fine. Why?

I just noticed the way you eased into the chair.

Oh, well, I didn't want to spill my coffee.

Anyway, the bad news

is that Remmington wants to do another gig with us.

Bad news? Yeah,

they need the prelims day after tomorrow.

What? That gives us no time.

What kind of line are we talking about?

Kids' sleepwear.

Uh, fleece nighties,

one-piece pajamas, the whole deal.

Look, if your back is killing you...

(chuckles)

Why is everyone so concerned about...

Excuse me.

(clears throat) Anyway,

Remmington's turning into a real cash cow

for us.

The clock's gonna be ticking,

pressure'll be on.

No problem. I'm on top of it.

Danielle?

I said

that I'll handle it.

Okay.

It's your call.

I'm gonna need sketches

in 36 hours.

Any other

business?

Good.

I'm starving.

Yeah, Josh Hunter.

Josh, hey, it's Donna.

Listen, you-you mentioned before that

you had some painkillers also?

And, uh, my prescription just ran out,

and I thought... Donna, look,

I told you like five phone calls ago, I am not a pharmacy.

Look, I'm on the other line.

You think maybe I could get back to you?

Yeah, um, you know, I thought maybe you could just

give me something to get over the hump, you know?

I am really, really not comfortable

about this conversation.

Come on, Josh.

Feels like my filling's are gonna scream here, okay?

Donna, look, my other phone call, it's about Noah.

Do you remember him?

He's your boyfriend?

I can meet you at the courthouse, if you want.

Yeah, well, I'm kinda focused on the trial right now.

Maybe you should be, too.

(dial tone)

David. Hey.

Hey. How are you?

You know, it's funny-- I meant to tell you.

You look really familiar.

Like I've met you before.

Yeah. I was in promotions before heads rolled.

I had a lot to do with getting your song airplay.

And I do mean your song.

Well, uh, Jasper and I are a team.

He's pulling you down.

Um, I don't think so.

Hey, like you said, I'm new on the job.

Maybe I should take a second listen.

That song you were playing earlier--

could I hear it again?

Yeah, sure,

as soon as Jasper gets here.

Of course.

Thing is, I have got this meeting

that I've gotta get to and...

Really.

Hey, look, David,

I said I would give Jasper his due and I will.

Now, how about it? Come on.

One song?

For my ears only.

Fine.

But then we wait. Hey,

you're the star, okay? Okay.

Record this on DAT for me.

Excuse me. Hello?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, miss, we're closed.

No, you don't understand.

I need my prescription refilled.

No allowance here for refills.

What do you mean, no allowance?

I'll need Dr. Martin's signature.

He's away.

I-I can't get his signature.

He's away... Wait, that's it?!

You can't just leave!

I need my prescription refilled now.

Please! Miss...

Miss, your prescription was to last you two weeks.

You've gone through 60 pills in less than one.

Yes, I-I was in an accident

and I hurt my back.

My hands are tied.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I'm late for my daughter's birthday.

Wait, I'm in pain!

I'm... in pain!

VALERIE: You're kidding me!

Noah's calling you

(detector beeping) as a character witness?

Sir. On his behalf?

I mean, I know everybody was subpoenaed,

but this is ridiculous.

Yeah, and if you think about it,

it's the smart thing to do.

Look, Val, if I say anything bad about Noah,

his lawyer's gonna point out the fact

that you and I are together. So?

So, I'm your boyfriend.

Anything negative I say about Noah

is gonna be immediately discredited by the jury.

(chuckles)

Oh, so what, you think this is funny? No.

You think this is amusing, David?

No, it frustrates the hell out of me. Okay, Val?

Look, with Noah, I'm being asked to help someone who hurt me,

and with Jasper, I'm being set up

to hurt someone who helped me.

Oh, that's very poignant.

Very reflective, David.

You know what? Cool off. No, you know what?

I'm not gonna cool off.

I want to clear my name.

Kel? Hi.

Hey, uh, is my dad around?

Yeah, yeah, you look exhausted.

Thanks.

Did you just come from court? No,

I'm-I'm not going back.

Besides I-I have a deadline at work.

Is there anything I can do?

No, it's just...

my back's still completely out of whack.

I really need

to see my dad now...

Okay.

I'll go see if he's almost done.

Thanks.

(knocking)

Hey, Dr. Martin.

Uh...

Hi, sweetheart.

How you feeling?

Dad, uh, pretty bad, actually.

Is it your back?

Yeah, I-I did what-what the neurologist said,

I've done what the orthopedist said...

Honey, they recommended bed rest.

I'm under a lot of pressure at work right now.

Work's just gonna have to wait.

It can't wait.

I have, like, eight million sketches

that are due tomorrow;

I have a boss that is depending on me;

and I can't get any of it done because my back is in spasms

and I am completely out of pain pills.

What happened to the pills

that I prescribed for you last week?

I was taking them in the kitchen,

I knocked the bottle over

and I spilled them all down the drain.

Dad, hello?

It's me.

I'm in pain and I need help. All right.

Okay. How about if I give you enough pills to last you

a few days, all right?

Then...

...you'll take just four per day, okay?

So, you haven't said anything about the trial.

It's all kind of a mess right now.

Uh, well, I-I think it's very smart for you to stay away.

Thanks for the refill. Yeah.

Sure. Donna... Well, if...

if you're still having pain when you're done with those,

then I want to see you again, okay?

Go, go, go. Be brilliant.

EVANS: And isn't it true

that Noah Hunter bailed you out with a loan shark?

Yeah.

And later he bought the building you rent

space in to keep you from being evicted?

Yes.

So you'd been

shot and needed a rare AB negative blood transfusion.

What exactly did Mr. Hunter do?

He donated his own AB negative blood.

He helped save my life.

So, after tumbling

down the hillside, Mr. Silver found himself

unable to swim out of the river?

Yes. And you

and Mr. Hunter pulled him

to safety?

Yeah.

So, you and Mr. Hunter saved his life?

Yeah.

Wow, great stuff.

Come on, you're just saying that.

No, really.

Has anyone seen these?

It was just something I was fooling with

for this job interview

I've got later on.

Um, they're just doodles, really.

Another time maybe?

Yeah, some other time.

Donna, don't mean to put on the pressure,

but I'm putting on the pressure.

How's my sleepwear? Uh, fine.

Your, uh, your sketches will be ready tomorrow.

♪ Don't know how to say good-bye ♪

♪ Don't know how to keep her satisfied... ♪

So, uh, did you talk to him?

Yeah, I did.

And...?

The blunt truth?

Jasper went nuts, threw a tantrum, then quit.

Quit?

Yeah.

(scoffs)

No way.

Wha-- the-the band is his life.

I mean, if-if he walks, they'll walk.

David, don't you see how they look at you?

How everyone looks at you?

Nobody's walking anywhere.

You've got it, man.

You are going to be a very big star.

Yeah...

I mean, Jasper, he...

he stood by me from day one.

Do you think the record trade is about nice guys?

Huh?

It's a business.

Now, Jasper is history,

and you're gonna have to get over that.

David, opportunities like this come along

but once in a lifetime.

Now, you have to decide:

either you're here to be a nice guy

or be on the cover of Rolling Stone, man.

It's that simple.

Hey, this trial is far from over.

And after my so-called friends' testimony today...

Well, there's no denying it.

They got in a few shots about your character.

More like Noah's a Boy Scout.

Look, the facts haven't changed.

You're still the victim here, Valerie.

You were roofed and you were raped.

And Noah?

Oh, well, poor little rich boy.

Got drunk.

Admitted to having sex.

Guilty.

Don't worry so much.

Go to hell. I'm already there.

How's it comin'?

Good.

Well, you've got the rest of the night to go crazy.

Hope you score.

What a day.

You can bet Valerie won't be talking to me anytime soon.

It's a moot point.

No matter who wins this case, we all lose.

If Valerie wins, Noah's a rapist.

Doubt he'd stick in town after that.

And if Noah wins...?

Then Valerie's the one catching the bus.

Ah, and you said there wasn't a win-win situation.

For once could we not argue about this,

please? I'm not arguing.

I would just be happy to see her go.

Kel, we've only been back together two weeks;

this is all we've talked about.

I'm open to a suggestion.

She's my friend.

And I think she's evil.

Agree to disagree?

Fine.

We're not ready for this, are we?

No.

Is it just the trial?

I hope so.

But you're not sure.

Maybe you should just go.

Yeah.

♪ She's lonely ♪

♪ Oh, the road is long... ♪

Yeah, I'd, uh,

I'd like to accept this Grammy and give props

to the whole hip-hop nation for keepin' it real.

Word up.

Mick. Hey.

How you doin'? David Silver, good to meet you.

Oh, huge, huge fan, are you kidding me?

Yeah, well, my album went, you know,

a couple times platinum; it was no big deal.

Oh, Bob Dylan!

I know Bob Dylan, you kidding me?

It's the same era of music, we did the same thing.

You-you've never met Bob?

Bob, hey, come...

Um...

...I, uh-- I was...

You were just, uh, pretending to be somebody else?

Do you think maybe I could play?

Sure. Mmm.

(chuckles)

Um... listen,

about, uh, about this whole testimony

thing... David, look...

I know it's not your fault.

I just didn't realize how much it was gonna hurt,

okay?

So I'll see you later...

Puff Daddy?

(playful groan) Oh, there's somebody here to see you, too.

Want to play games?

Let's play games.

You sold me out.

No, no...

Jasper, you quit.

My own band?

Get real.

Look, Frank told me the whole thing...

It's not about Frank.

This is about you recording our material.

What?! Don't even try and deny it.

The suit played me the tape.

Jasper, he just asked me to sing the song, all right?

I didn't know

he was recording it. You know, for God's sakes, I made you.

If it wasn't for me,

you'd still be moppin' Mercedes at the car wash.

This is business,

okay?

That makes it okay to double-cross your friends?

He keeps selling me on this whole star thing.

No, no!

You're letting him sell you the star thing.

It's a snow job, David.

You can't be stars unless you pay your dues.

You gotta have the goods to back it up.

You gotta have the music first.

No music, no band.

And no band, no stars.

(quiet knocking on door)

Look, I'll work it out, okay?

Let me work it out.

Yeah. David Silver?

Yeah. Today's your lucky day.

Q5 Records is giving you a Porsche for a week.

All you've got to do

is sign on the dotted line,

and pick up the car this afternoon.

You're kidding me.

Do me a favor--

when you crash and burn, don't call.

Sir, are you gonna sign?

Hi, guys. Hi. Hi.

Listen, deadline's approaching.

So, I need you to approve this ad copy. Okay.

And, uh, the Dog Days spot fell out.

(groans) What about West Beverly High?

The Reunion Committee's

in for a full page ad every other week until April.

That's good.

They still want to run your current pics

against your yearbook photos,

but they need your submissions, like, yesterday.

So, you left this on your desk.

It's pictures of when you guys were kids.

Just choose the ones you like and, um, I'll submit 'em.

Great.

Just, uh, don't say it so loud,

we don't want anyone to know who really runs the paper.

Hmm, well, maybe someday it'll reflect in my paycheck.

Is her contract up for renewal?

We should give her a raise. Wha...?

VALERIE: Well, look who it is.

My so-called life.

Valerie,

about yesterday--

the lawyers were really gunning for bear.

VALERIE: Were they?

Well, it seems to me, for every bad thing Noah did,

you countered with seven good things.

We could only answer questions,

we couldn't make 'em up.

You know, it's bad enough

that my own boyfriend was called on Noah's behalf.

But I know what side he's on.

What irks me is how much

you seemed to relish the opportunity

to make me out to be a liar.

Hey, nobody relished anything, Valerie.

And you--

I've seen some heartfelt monologues

before, but they're usually sticking out in bad plays.

I was under oath, I told the truth.

VALERIE: You know what's funny?

I'm the one who's usually attacked

for betraying our friendships.

Now, who's betraying whom?

I know this must be very difficult for you.

Yes, the, uh, defendant is my brother.

And you are a key eyewitness

to the events of the night in question.

In fact, with Mr. Hunter intoxicated

and Miss Malone drugged, you may be the only one

who knows exactly what happened that night.

So, I remind you,

you are under oath.

I swore to tell the truth, that's what you'll get.

Good. All right, then...

(clears throat) ...let's go back to the beginning.

That night-- who was sitting with you at the bar?

I was sitting with, uh, Val--

er, Miss Malone, and my brother Noah was behind the bar.

KAY: And Noah is the one who brought Ms. Malone her drink.

JOSH: Yes.

Did she drink it right away?

No.

KAY: Did you see Noah handle the drink?

Move it? Swirl it?

JOSH: Yeah, well, uh, when I was paying attention, yes.

I'm sorry.

When you were paying attention?

Yes, I received a phone call

on my cell phone

from my fiancée in France.

KAY: So then what?

You, uh, turned away to take it?

Yes, that's correct.

So, when you answered your call,

Miss Malone had not yet sipped her drink.

No, I-I think that you're jumping to a conclusion.

Um, Noah

wasn't alone with Valerie for very long

when I took that call.

Well, how long are we talking?

Well, I...

I don't know-- I'd say a few minutes maybe.

See ya later! KAY: What? Two, three, four...?

Uh, four.

Yeah, I'd venture four.

You'd venture four minutes.

Well, gee, that's a pretty long time.

Not really, no. No?

Well, um...

how long would you say

it would take for this paper clip

to drop to the floor?

A second.

A second.

Well, then, don't you think it's possible

that in those four minutes,

Noah could have dropped a capsule

in Miss Malone's drink?

JOSH: Yeah, well, I guess it's possible.

I mean, anything's possible.

Okay.

After your phone call,

where did you next see Miss Malone and your brother?

They were going up the stairs.

I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that.

They were heading up the stairs

towards Noah's office.

And was Miss Malone drinking her drink?

Josh, was she drinking her drink?

No.

She'd already finished it.

All right, then, let me see if I have

all of this straight.

That night, Miss Malone ordered only one drink.

No one was with her but you and Noah.

Noah swirled her drink.

And then when you answered your call

from your fiancée,

Miss Malone had started to drink her drink.

And then when you were on your call,

she finished her drink

and went upstairs with Noah.

Yes. Yes, that's correct.

Then, Mr. Hunter...

who else could have put Rohypnol in her glass?

Objection! Withdrawn.

We already know the answer.

I love this.

Donna, you are pure talent.

I'm glad you like it.

Like it? Remmington

is gonna flip. Danielle,

did you see this work?

Has definite flair.

All right, now, for you, Miss Martin,

you've been up all night and you're punchy.

Now get outta here and get some rest.

Thank you.

You stole my designs.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

You ripped them off,

you wove them into your work and I can prove it.

Well, if that's true,

why didn't you say anything?

Because one of us would've gotten fired.

You know the worst part?

When you started working here, I felt threatened.

I thought you were better than me.

I was wrong.

It's getting kinda late.

Yeah, kinda.

Jury's deliberating.

Fate in the balance.

Can't be easy for you.

Kelly, it was never easy.

None of this.

I'm trying to apologize here.

I don't know how much simpler I can say it.

But hearing Josh

in court today made me see things differently.

So you think I'm telling the truth?

Yeah.

I do.

You know, if the case goes my way,

do you think it'll have been worth it?

You'll be vindicated.

You will have won.

But what will I have lost?

Hey.

Noah, look...

about my testimony-- the last thing

I want to do is make you look bad.

Don't worry about it.

What's done is done in there, okay?

I know, man, it's just...

you're my only brother,

you know, and I don't know how things

are going to turn out.

And I thought... Josh, listen.

However the verdict goes, I don't care.

I'm glad you're with me, okay?

All right. (pats shoulder)

(gavel pounding)

Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

Please read it to the court.

We the jury, in the charge

of sexual battery against Valerie Malone,

find for the plaintiff.

(sighs)

DAVID: Yes.

VALERIE: Thank you.

Congratulations. Thank you so much.

(chuckling)

(sighs)

Yes.

(yelps happily)

Congratulations. Thank you.

Hey, thank you.

VALERIE: Did you see them, David?

I mean, did you see them looking at me?

I-I'm walking out of the court,

and everybody was practically... Yeah, they were gawking.

I know. Gawking, yeah.

I mean, one minute, I'm a slut.

The next minute, I'm Joan of Arc.

You know, definitely no more wagging tongues.

No more smirks.

No more... Uh, skepticism?

That-- skepticism.

Yes.

I mean, Noah roofed me-- I proved it-- end of story.

Yep, you did it. You won.

Then why do I feel so awful?

(sighs)

You know, you barely mentioned this car.

Yeah.

The car is stupid. It's gross.

Can't live with your success?

I don't know. I...

Isn't this what I've been chasing? Success?

I mean,

look at us, Val,

we're literally on top of the world.

I mean, you with your court win and...

me being music's

next big whatever...

That's nothing but blue skies

and-and green lights, you know, only...

Jasper McQuade.

I feel like I ditched out on him.

What else were you supposed to do?

David, you believed in me.

You gotta start believing in yourself.

Damn it!

Yes.

Here's... one to take me down,

one to bring me up.

What?

(approaching footsteps)

Well, well, well...

Donna...

you know, it's considered polite to call first

before you rob your boyfriend's brother.

I told you I was in pain, and you didn't give a damn!

Oh, so that makes breaking and entering okay?

Is that a new law or is that your own?

Hey, you're practically a walking drugstore yourself.

I heard what you did for Noah in court.

That's so brotherly of you.

Oh, is that right?

Josh, you parked in a handicap zone.

What's going on here?

Burglary in progress.

Seems your little chickadee here

is strung out on painkillers.

She likes to pop them four at a time.

Chucks in speed

for flavor. Your brother set you up.

You shut up.

Here.

Oh, yeah.

You see here?

D-amphetamine.

Oh, yeah, sure, I gave her

a few once, you know,

to woo her off the painkillers,

to wake her up a little bit,

but now she's gone yo-yo.

First uppers, then downers.

I had no idea, man.

Is this true?

You want truth?

Read it.

Your brother's the one that roofed Valerie.

Not a stranger-- it was Josh.

This has got your name on it, man.

Noah, I can explain that.

I was in Paris; I had insomnia.

Why?!

I never intended this.

Come on, you walked up the stairs with Valerie.

It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.

You could've come forward.

I got scared, Noah.

I got scared!

I mean, jail time? Come on, you see me

in jail? I couldn't do it, man.

I would die.

I couldn't do it.

You are pathetic.

I know that, man.

I know that about myself, but listen.

The only course of action we have

is to forget about this.

It is over.

It is a done deal.

We pay... I'll... I'll pay Valerie off

and we move on.

No.

This is about the family, man.

This is about flesh and blood.

You wouldn't turn in your own

flesh and blood, would you, Noah?

Would you?

Uh, Valerie, I see you got your mail.

Yeah, it's been stacking up ever since the trial began.

At the Beat, we've been ignoring

a pile of bills twice that high.

Hmm.

Well, I guess my lawsuit's taken its toll.

STEVE: Is that your Porsche outside?

No, it's David's.

If he makes rock star by Monday,

he can keep it another week.

Hey, you know what, I got these the other day.

Brandon's been holding on

to some old pictures of us.

Oh, my gosh.

I must have been like five years old.

Six, actually.

(goofy accent): You remember Mrs. Swenson's

first grade class in Minnesota?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Well, earlier today, I would have agreed with that.

This is a completely different girl.

What do you mean, my nose?

No, the eyes.

I looked a little closer,

and I saw something I completely forgot about.

Something decent.

Welcome back, Val.

Thanks.

Welcome home. Thanks, babe.

(doorbell ringing)

Noah.

Can I come in?

No, you can't.

Look, if this is about the money,

I could really care less.

I hate you for what you did to me.

Maybe you should just go, man.

No, wait.

Josh roofed your drink; it wasn't me.

Donna found this Rohypnol

in Josh's briefcase.

Now, if you don't believe me,

just call her.

I don't forgive you.

Look, I'm sorry you were hurt.

Now, if you file charges

with the DA against my brother,

I'll support you any way I can.

You all right?

Um...

Steve, I-I'm supposed to go pick up David.

Do you mind taking me?

I really don't feel like driving.

Yeah, I'll take you. Thanks.

See you, guys.

"And the truth shall set you free."

Yeah... well, I think

that Noah and Donna are going to need some time.

I don't really feel like going home.

Can I stay?

Mmm... sure.

(doorbell ringing)

Hello?

Donna, it's me.

You there?

Hello?

Donna!

I have an emergency here.

I need an ambulance.

Drug overdose.

I don't... I don't know.

I think they were painkillers.

I don't know.

Her name is Martin.

Donna Martin.

Yeah... yeah.
