Melrose Place

Hi, I'm Ella Sims, junior publicist.

Jonah, you are a hugely talented filmmaker.

We're getting married, guys.

You called your dad? Hell, no.

Get in the car!

Look at you. Paddock watch, the Prada.

You're getting your money somewhere.

If you think you need to go out and take what's not yours,

there's obviously something missing in your life.

I'm still a little concerned about your finances. I can work it out.

You're gonna be going to a party tonight.

The client's gonna love you.

You know, there's a hostess that just quit at Coal.

I could put in a good word for you.

Hey.

Wow.

Oh, my God, Sydney!

Did you know her pretty well? I met her four years ago.

She was the one who convinced me I could be a real chef.

Who needs Coal?

You are way too good for that place.

Riley, I kissed someone last night.

Oh, God. Yeah, I had the same exact

reaction when I found out you kissed Auggie.

So, where do we go from here?

("Powerless" by Kristinia Debarge plays)

You're... incredible.

Thank you, so are you.

* I'll flip your breaker now and take your recharging off of me *

Hey, what's the rush?

Well, you booked two hours.

Now I gotta go.

But I want you to stay.

Thousand dollars if you stay till sunrise.

* It's about to be lights out

I'm all yours.

* Solve the mystery

* It's about to be, it's about to be lights out *

* I'm about to * Wflip off the switch *?

* And shut it down, baby

* I'm about to leave you powerless *

* Your body's having a blackout *

* Before you ask what's that about *

* Let's recall how you tapped right into me *

* Used up all of my lifelines

* Too much of my life

* I'm putting all of the power back into me *

* What you think this is?

* I'm about to leave you

* Shut it down, baby

* I'm about to leave you powerless *

* Leave you powerless

* This isn't a false alarm, isn't a false alarm *

* I'm about to leave you powerless. *

So, you're sure they're not gonna be home all day, right?

Yeah, no, listen, we've done this before,

and we've had no problems, right?

So you have nothing to worry about.

I'll see you soon, bye. Hey!

Hey. Dad stick you with the graveyard shift again?

Yeah, you know. Part of the joy of med school.

What about you, huh? Where are you off to so early?

Oh, Hugo's.

Waffles and eggs.

Lauren, long night of making people feel better?

Endless night, actually.

Let me see, we had, uh, two car accidents, gunshot wound,

and a kidney failure all in one shift.

Wow, well, you look exhausted.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm-I'm still standing.

Yeah, for now.

Dr. Mancini's got us coming in for rounds in two hours.

So I have like 90 minutes

uninterrupted sleep ahead of me.

Hey.

Take care of yourself.

Did we forget to set this clock back

or are you, like, an hour late to class?

I have teachers' conferences today.

I don't have to go in early.

Oh, right, forgot.

You gonna work on your treatment for Kendra?

Uh, yeah, probably.

Where are we, Jonah?

I-I have no idea.

We're supposed to be engaged

and we're kissing other people?

God, I wish none of this had ever happened.

Yeah, too bad in real life there's no "undo" command.

I was thinking,

I should, uh, maybe take a road trip.

Like hike Joshua Tree or something.

Um, I was gonna say the opposite,

that we go together somewhere.

What was that?

Police! Get inside! Now, now!

Go! Go! Go! Go! LAPD! Go! Go! Go!

Get in there!

Watch them! Watch them!

Do either of you happen to know

where Auggie Kirkpatrick might be?

Why? We found the murder weapon.

What does that have to do with Auggie?

It was a knife with his blood on it.

Mr. Kirkpatrick's wanted for murder.

What would a boy do without his balls?

Whatever you have planned

for the rest of the day, cancel it.

Okay, do I get a why?

I just got a heads-up from corporate in New York

and they wanna do a video conference at noon.

They want a full rundown

on how I'm making the L.A. office more profitable.

And you want me to be your wingman?

Talk you up to the New York brass?

Done and done.

I've never needed a wingman.

What I need for you to do is take over the lunch meeting

I was supposed to have with Franz Keppler.

Oh.

You do know who Franz Keppler is, right?

Yeah, the German wunderkind

who makes indecipherable indie movies

that I would rather pluck my eyes out than sit through.

I wouldn't open with that. You know, Franz is white-hot right

now that he's about to start rolling on the Bruckheimer blockbuster.

So, I need you to convince him

that he needs WPK. Right.

Um, okay, a couple of problems.

I know nothing about his movies,

I speak zero German

and lederhosen is not my style. Well, at noon

New York's gonna ask me what gets I have lined up.

I'm gonna tell them I'm about to bring

Franz Keppler into the WPK fold.

Don't make your boss a liar.

All right, no need to get your jock strap in a knot.

I'm on it.

Are you sure you know where it is?

Michael?

Uh, yeah, I got it written down.

1:00, right?

But where is the place again?

Pasadena Tile

on Colorado. Right.

I wanna kiss you good-bye, Mommy.

Sorry, Miss Vanessa, he's so fast.

Yeah, you want a kiss, you got it, pal!

I want Mommy. Hmm.

Oh, come here.

Be a good boy today, okay?

Okay. We'll be back later.

Thanks.

Noah, come right back.

Hola, Leticia.

¿Como estas? I do not feel good about this, David.

Oh, it's fine, I told you.

I'll have him back in a of couple hours.

David!

There's my little munchkin!

Ready for an adventure with your big brother?

Oh, yeah! Good.

I can get in so much trouble for this. But you won't.

Because no one has to find out.

All right, you ready? Let's hit it, pal.

Where are we going? I can't tell ya. It's a surprise.

Come on.

Okay, I may not be CSI,

but when your blood ends up on the murder weapon

along with the victim's blood... you're usually guilty.

It doesn't prove anythin anything.

What other proof do you need, Riley?

It's Auggie. He'd never murder someone.

Are you forgetting about the night he told you

about stabbing a guy in a bar fight?

That was self-defense.

And look, obviously you're not exactly Mr. Objective

when it comes to judging Auggie.

I wouldn't put you anywhere near that jury box.

Whoa, I'm just stating facts here, Riley.

One being that right after they found that knife,

our good friend Auggie seemed to

very conveniently just disappear.

He goes on surfing trips all the time, you know that.

How do you know he's surfing?

I saw him loading his board and his bag into his van.

Okay, so, he could just have been going to the beach.

How do you know he's on a trip?

Riley?

Did he tell you he was going somewhere?

Riley, if you know where he is, you have to tell the police.

Why? So they can arrest him and convict him of a crime he didn't commit?

It happens all the time.

Yeah, they also convict people for aiding and abetting

a fugitive.

Look, Riley, we all know you have this uncanny ability

to see the very best in people,

but is that really worth going to prison for?!

You have no idea he's even innocent.
