09x22 - Full Disclosure

[bunniefuu]

Harold's not a bum.

He has got a very good job with his uncle's company.

He's a bookkeeper.

-Or an accountant. -You owe us money.

And when somebody owes us money,

it's my job to see that he's left with a little reminder.

Gi-- give-- give me until tomorrow.

[Pat] What would you like me to say, Frank?

Would you like me not to testify at all?

There's nothing you can do that would make a difference.

You're doing great.

One more round of cross-examination

and you're home free.

[woman] The worst is over.

[theme music playing]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[loud whoop] Now watch.

-See? Hey! -[laughing]

[conversation din]

-Good. -[cheering]

Okay, sweetie, your turn. You do it.

-Go, go, go. -[cheering]

Oh, you don't want to fall to get an owie.

[conversation din]

[children shouting]

[conversation din]

You know, no one's ever concerned

about me getting an owie.

-Go on, go on. -You know, uh, Pat,

my regular babysitter canceled on me tonight,

and I was wondering, do you think maybe...

[Julie] Mom, can I?

Uh, y-- of course you can.

[cheers] Thanks! Thanks, Mom.

[Karen] Are you sure that it's okay?

[Pat] No, it's okay.

[muffled conversation din]

[Karen] Now, I want to return the favor,

so if you and Frank ever want to go out--

Why don't we all go out?

Listen, uh, Mack and I have been dying

to go to that new, uh, comedy place.

You-- you both like comedy, don't you?

That's a great idea. That's great.

He loves comedy. He's got a great sense of humor.

Honey, who is--

[tense music playing]

-Freeze! -[worker] Hey, hey, hey.

-I said freeze! -Michael, take the baby inside.

-Come on, Meg. -[Frank] I said freeze!

Alright.

[Frank] What the hell? Who are you?

Stay here.

Frank! Frank, don't! Frank!

-Put the g*n down, Frank! -Frank, what are you doing?

-[Frank] Shut up! -[Mack] Frank, are you crazy.

Put it down!

Look, man, it's got nothing to do with you!

-[Mack] The hell is doesn't. -Frank!

-He's a workman! I hired him. -Put it down, Frank! Take the g*n away.

-[Pat] He's a workman! -What?

I hired him!

-[Mack] Put the g*n down. -Look, I'm sorry, man.

Go to hell, man,

and I hope you get there before I sue you.

[Mack] Put the g*n away, Frank.

Look, I'll put the g*n away when I damn well please.

[Mack] Give me the g*n. Put it away!

Frank, would you please?

Why didn't you tell me you had hired him?

Whether she did or not, you don't run around the neighborhood

with a g*n in your hand.

[yelling over each other]

Brandishing a firearm is breaking the law!

So is trespassing! Which is what you're doing.

You're on my property, and I don't want you here!

Okay. Alright, just put it away. Put it away.

Please stop, Frank, what's the matter with you?

Don't side with him!

-Frank! What are you doing? -Damn.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm sorry.

-Oh, God. -[door clicks open]

Northeast Division.

Yes, please. It's an emergency.

Oh, are you really--

Yeah, I'm really calling the police, yeah.

-What do you think I'm doing? -Do you think you should?

Yeah, I think I should.

Hey, Jim Murphy, tell him it's Mack MacKenzie.

-Maybe... -Maybe what, huh?

You got a clown running around out there

with a loaded.38 revolver,

and the kids playing in the street.

-Oh, you're right. You're right. -Of course I'm right.

Damn right I'm right.

Jim, Mack, I got a problem here.

I got a 4-17 right in the neighborhood.

My neighbor, Frank Williams.



Yeah.

He drove off in a Chrysler New Yorker, maroon.



[Karen] I don't know why she stays with that man.



-[Julie sobbing] -[Pat] It's okay, honey.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

It's gonna be alright. It's gonna be alright.

[sighs] I hate when people are late.

You know? It's inconsiderate, you know?

-It's rude! -Yeah, right.

Right, Harold. It's inconsiderate.

Ah, there he is.

On time.

-You're late, George. -I know.

Uh, traffic was jammed up all the way up to 405.

Not my problem, George. Count it.

Listen, I had a little bit of trouble coming up with the cash.

It's not my problem, George.

Um, but I didn't think that you would mind--

-You didn't think? -I didn't think you'd mind

taking uh, merchandise instead of cash, look.

Um, I, uh-- See?

You didn't think.

[objects clanking]

And don't say, "It would be better

if you went out with someone your own age."

Did I say anything like that?

Well, that's what you're thinking.

Well, look. [sighs]

He is out of college, and--

and you're not even finished with high school yet.

I just think you might have more in common

with someone your own age.

You're n-- not gonna wear that, are you?

You don't like it?

I don't think it flatters you.

Well, I love it.

You don't know that much about Harold.

You don't know how long he plans to be in California.

You don't know what his plans are.

I do know that he's cute.

-Be serious. -I am.

You talk about him as if he's a bum.

Well, he's not a bum.

He has got a very good job with his uncle's company.

He's a-- a bookkeeper,

or an accountant.

You owe my uncle $20,000.

-Oh, look, Harold. -No, you listen.

-[George gasping] -We're not a pawn shop.

You can't hock your hot merchandise off on us.

It's not hot.

Harold, Harold, there are people here.

Keep the people away.

[screams] You're just crazy, you know that?

[laughs] No, George, you're crazy.

You're crazy to think we'd take this stuff.

What would we get for it on the street?

Ten cents on the dollar, if we're lucky?

No, George, you owe us money.

And when somebody owes us money,

it's my job to see that he's left with a little reminder.

So, what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?

What am I gonna do, George?

[Johnny] There's a patrol car coming.

Gi-- give-- give me until tomorrow.

-Why should I? -I'll, uh-- I'll--

Here, here.

Take this. Free.

I mean, I mean, I mean...

as a thank you.

Not as a thank you, George,

but as one day's interest on the money you owe my uncle.

George.

This is your car.

[car door shuts close]

[tense music playing]

[Mack sighs]

Let-- let the police handle it.

[chatter on police radio]

-Hey. -Mack, how are you?

Uh, he took off in his car, but his wife's inside,

so you can get the license plate number from her

if you need an APB.

-May not need an APB. -Oh, yeah, you will.

Okay, look, we'll talk to his wife,

and if we have to pick your neighbor up,

-we'll pick him up. -You'll have to.

Come on, Mack.

Alright, we'll be inside if you need us.

-Okay. We'll take care of it. -Okay.

You know, I-- I just can't believe

that that's happening in this neighborhood.

[Mack sighs]

The statistics show that people that have g*ns--

-k*ll people they know. -Right.

I just-- I can't believe it.

In this neighborhood, with kids running around.

That's that woman that Pat's always with.

They're coming out.

Hey, you gonna put out an APB?

Everything's taken care of, Mack.

Good. You gonna pick him up?

Oh, look, everything's been taken care of.

You gonna talk to him?

Look, the guy had a legitimate permit, Mack.

He had reason to believe his premises

were being forcibly entered,

that he was threatened with bodily harm.

-He didn't break any laws. -Are you gonna talk to him?

Look, Mack, he didn't break any laws.

[high heels clacking]

[Mack] Excuse me.

-Who the hell are you? -[woman sighs]

Are you a cop?

I'm a friend of the family.

Not that it's any of your business.

Friend of the family.

Friend of the family shows up

and the cops don't even file a complaint.

I'd like to have a friend of the family like that.

[doorbell rings]

-[Valene] Who is it? -[Julie] It's Julie.

-Hi. -Hi.

Got your homework, huh?

No, I bought these for Bobby and Betsy.

They used to be mine when I was little.

I keep them to take on babysitting jobs.

This is my first job since I came here.

Sweetie, I am so sorry, but see, Gary--

their Uncle Gary came by and I had told him

that he could have the kids tonight for a visit

and I just totally forgot all about our arrangement.

-Oh. -I feel so bad about this.

I was just about to call you and tell you.

But I-- I want to pay you for it anyway.

No, thank you. I didn't do anything.

Oh, no, please, sweetie. You've got to take it.

-It's only fair. -No, thank you.

Well, would you like to come on in

and have some cookies, we just made them this morning.

Um, no, thank you. I'd better go home.

Well, maybe you can call me another time.

You know I will. I am sorry, sweetie.

We'll do it again.

-Okay. Bye. -Bye-bye.

[Mack] You tell me what kind of friend of the family

can show up at a moment's notice and call off the cops?

[doorbell rings]

If she's a friend of the family, I'm the Pope.

[chuckles] Then I must be at the wrong address, Holy Father.

-Hiya, Johnny. -Hi, Mrs. MacKenzie.

-Uh, Paige is in the kitchen. -Oh, thanks.

-Hiya, Mack. -Hey, Johnny.

You know, I'm surprised he made it to the inside

-without getting his head blown off. -Mack.

Hey, Karen, you don't know what you're dealing with over here,

you know, and I don't think Meg should be playing

in the front yard anymore.

Look, maybe, uh--

I'll talk to Pat about the situation.

[laughs] The situation?

What's she gonna tell you about the situation?

I won't know until she tells me, will I?

She's not gonna tell you anything she hasn't yet.

I know that he's an ex-cop.

And no one said a word about it.

You don't know it for sure.

I know, but I don't know the reason for it.

Now, if he wanted to make a career change,

why didn't he just say, "Hey, I'm an ex-cop,

and now I'm gonna open a restaurant

-or be a stockbroker?" -Not--

He's not obligated to tell you his life story.

There's a reason why he's an ex-cop.

I just don't know what that is yet.

But I know bad cops,

and I don't want one living next door.

[somber music playing]

I'm scared, Mack.

It's okay. It's okay, honey.

-You'll get other jobs. -[Julie] Maybe.

[Pat] You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna call up all of our neighbors,

and I'm gonna ask them if they need any babysitters.

[Julie] I bet they'll say no.

Oh, honey.

Because of Daddy.

[Pat] Because of Daddy?

[Julie] I don't think Ms. Gibson forgot their uncle was coming.

I think she didn't want me there

because she was afraid daddy might come over.

I can't thank you enough for taking them at the last minute.

It's a huge favor to me.

[scoffs] Anytime.

[Valene] I'll be over in about an hour to pick them up.

Uh, Val, listen.

They're-- they're having such a great time.

Why don't you let them spend the night?

Well, put Bobby on the phone.

Hey, you guys? You want to spend the night?

I'll get a sleeping bag, and we can camp out here.

-Yeah, yeah. -Yeah?

Well, come say good night to your mama.

Come on. Come here. Yeah.

Say, "Good night, Mama." Here you go.

[Bobby] Good night, Mama. I love you.

Yeah!

[Betsy] Good night, Mama. Love you.

Are they sleeping here?

-Yeah, I hope you don't mind. -No, I think it's a nice idea.

Look, um...

we're not married, you know.

-Gary, I know we're not married. -Right.

So maybe the kids shouldn't see us sleeping together.

Right, so I shouldn't sleep in here?

Just for the night.

-You're serious? -Pretty serious.

Sure.

-Sure. -[Gary clears throat]

[Olivia] My mother thinks you're too old for me.

Your mother's right. I am too old for you.

I should never, ever have asked you out.

I just think you're terrific.

So what'd your mother say?

Well, she didn't say I couldn't see you,

but she just doesn't want me to.

She's really overprotective.

Well, because of a lot of things.

Like what?

Like I'm not as nice as you may think I am.

Come on. Like what?

I got hooked on coke.

Yeah, but you're not anymore, right?

No, I'm-- I'm in this program now,

and it's working.

It's just that my mother's

constantly hovering over me.

Because, I don't know, she's--

she's afraid that if something goes wrong,

I might start using it again.

But I won't.

I think it's fantastic that you quit using drugs.

Well, it would have been better if I hadn't even started.

Yeah, but you quit. That's hard to do.

It's very impressive.

Very impressive.

[romantic music playing]

I have something for you.

-No, I can't. -Please.

It was my grandmother's.

I want you to have it.

I better take you home now.

[engine revving]

-[Gary laughing] -[children laughing]

[Gary laughing] Okay, okay, wait.

Enough tickling. Alright, alright.

Enough, Now get in your sleeping bag.

[Bobby] No!

[conversation din]

[solemn music playing]

That was a great dinner.

Yeah, any free dinner is a great dinner to you.

Okay, okay, so I'm not picky.

Well, next time, you should let us know

when you're going to invite yourself over

so we can make extra.

I don't know why I put up with your attitude.

Maybe because you're so sexy.

-Johnny, you're getting me wet. -And gorgeous.

-Stop it. -And you adore me.

You thrive on rejection.

Mm-hmm. I thrive on your rejection.

I love being rejected in the bed,

-in the shower, on the floor. -Johnny.

I much prefer that to the kind of rejection you're getting.

I mean, you're chasing after a man who never notices you.

You do not know what goes on between Greg Sumner and me.

-Nothing goes on between you. -Yeah, you wish.

-I wish? Mm-hmm. -Mm-hmm.

The only reason you're going to work for him is because

you think that someday he'll turn around and say,

"How could I have ignored such a beautiful woman?

I'm madly in love with you."

Get serious.

He'll not even give you the time of day.

It's dirty.

[somber music playing]

-[Paige] I'm here. -[Greg] Yeah?

I'm ready. What do you want me to do?

-About what? -About work.

[Greg] What about it?

-You asked me to work for you. -Yeah?

-Well, am I working for you? -You want to work for me?

-That's why I'm here. -You want to work here?

-I thought-- -Never mind.

You need, uh, filing cabinets, desks, chairs?

You tell me.

That sort of thing would be helpful.

We'll order whatever you need.

-[phone ringing] -You working for me?

-Hello. -[whispers] Hey, uh, try Sumner Residence.

Better for my image.

Was he stunned by your beauty? Has he proposed to you yet?

You must have the wrong number.

Well, If you want to reject me tonight, I'll be at home.

That's good.

[Pat] I can't find my deposition.

You've read the thing 12 times already.

Well, I want to read it again when I get on the plane.

There's always going to be one question that you didn't expect.

Well, so at least it'll all be over.

At the least this is the last of it.

You know,let's celebrate when I get back

because then it'll be over.

You might be finished testifying,

but it's not going to be over.

-Frank. -Over...

will be going back to the way things were before.

It's never going to be over.

Okay, what would you like me to say, Frank?

Would you like me not to testify at all?

There's nothing you can say, there's nothing you can do

that would make a difference.

That's the problem.

This--

this is our life now and there's no way out of it.

We can't survive it.

Not as far as I can see.

We might live through it...

but we can't survive it.

I mean...

not-- not as a family.

Yes, we will.

We'll survive it.

I want to protect you and Julie...

and I can't.

I don't even know who's out to get us.

I don't know where to look or who to look for.

And while I'm trying to protect my family...

I have become the enemy.

My family needs protecting against me.

[Pat sighs]

Um,

see you soon, okay?

[Mack] Knock, knock, knock. You got a minute?

I got to run something by you, hypothetically, alright?

Yeah, sure. I'm on downtime. Go ahead.

Alright, listen.

This guy comes running out of his house,

waving a g*n, threatens a workman.

Our interested party calls the cops.

They show up, spend about a minute inside the house.

They come back out, and they say everything's fine.

It's alright.

So our interested party calls a friend of his

at the police station the next day

and says, "Check it out."

Well, he does, and it says,

"There's no police report made on it."

Mack, there's got to be a police report.

[Mack] No.

Alright, what else does our interested party know

about the man in question?

Thinks he's a bad cop.

Well, maybe the cops know him, and they're covering up for him.

Nah.

No. He's from out of town.

Maybe he's doing undercover work.

Nah, he's too jumpy to be undercover.

That's what throws me, see?

So our interested party thinks he's a bad cop

and that someone's after him.

Okay.

Well, assuming that, uh, the guy is a bad cop,

and assuming that the local police are good cops...

what legitimate reason would they have

for protecting a bad cop?

-He's a witness. -He's a witness.

[Mack] Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

[solemn music playing]

Okay.

[Harris] You stated that you first became aware

of what you referred to as my client's

and Dr. Ramsey's drug dealings in May of 1986.

-Is that correct, Dr. Sollars? -Yes, it is.

Would you characterize your relationship

with Dr. Ramsey in May of 1986?

He was the head of my department.

[Harris] So you conferred with him about your patients?

Yes, that's right.

Did you ever, uh, disagree about treatments?

-[scoffs] Sometimes. -[Harris] How often?

Well, not often. Now and again.

[Harris] Isn't it true that your relationship

with Dr. Ramsey was, in fact, combative?

-Objection! -Overruled.

No, no, I wouldn't say that at all.

How would you describe your relationship with Dr. Ramsey?

Well, I would say that we had differences

of opinion sometimes.

[Harris] These differences of opinion

ever surface in front of a patient?

-[Pat] Never, no. -[Harris] In front of

other members of the hospital staff?

Well, I'm sure that other members of the staff

were aware of our disagreements.

Isn't it a fact that Dr. Ramsey

has been in the field of neurology

much longer than you have?

Yes.

Nineteen years longer, as a matter of fact.

How long had you been in the field

when you began to question his ability?

Four years, but it was not his ability that I questioned.

[Harris] In April of 1986, didn't you have

one of these differences of opinion with Dr. Ramsey

about the treatment of a patient named Joseph Hemsdale?

Yes.

Isn't it true that you were removed from the case?

-Yes, but-- -Isn't it true that in May of 1986,

when you allegedly discovered what you called this drug scam,

that these differences of opinion

with Dr. Ramsey were so great

that you were actually in danger of being fired by Dr. Ramsey?

-Objection, Your Honor. -No, no, that's not true.

That's not true, no has ever questioned my ability--

-[overlapping arguing] -[gavel pounding]

A fever of 102. Can you believe that?

[Paige] You shouldn't be up and around.

Not me.

My date for the symphony tonight.

I hate to go to these things by myself.

What's on the program?

Kindertotenlieder.

Try saying that three times fast.

Mahler. I love Mahler.

[Greg] I go there all by my lonesome,

everyone will be bugging me in intermission.

Hitting on the lonely widower.

I love Mahler's shadings.

[Greg] I suppose I should just skip it.

But...

I kind of like this guy's stuff.

Listen, I know this isn't part of your job, but--

I'd love to.

Would you call Abby Ewing for me

and see if she'll go with me tonight?

I got some business I can discuss with her between verses.

Dr. Sollars, are you being paid

for your testimony here today?

[laughs] No.

You don't get any money from the government?

-Well, yes, I do, but-- -How much?

-$1,200. -[Harris] $1,200.

A year?

A month.

[Harris] $1,200. Each month.

So you're testifying against a man

who may go to prison for years

so you can collect your $1,200 a month

and you're not being paid to testify?

Objection!

Counsel is mischaracterizing the testimony

and trying to harass the witness.

[Pat] No!

That's obscene! How dare you!

[Harris] I was just attempting to justify

the witness's motive for testifying, Your Honor.

Can you do it without grandstanding, Mr. Harris?

[mysterious music playing]

Dr. Sollars, the defense has implied

that you're getting a pretty good deal

for testifying against the defendant.

Is a $1,200 monthly allowance

the reason you're testifying?

No.

That's a great deal less than what I was earning as a doctor.

Objection, the witness is adding something

-that wasn't asked for. -Sustained.

Can you tell us why the government

is paying you money?

Because my life was threatened if I continued to practice.

[Fisher] Who threatened your life? Tell us about that.

Friends of Mr. Miller.

-Objection! -[judge] Sustained.

How do you know that the people

who threatened your life were friends of Mr. Miller?

Because they said that they were friends.

Objection! Hearsay.

Sustained, the jury's instructed

to disregard the witness's last answers.

[Fisher] Dr. Sollars...

did you give up medicine because of these threats?

Yes.

Are you practicing medicine now?

[Pat] No.

Can you explain why?

Because the men that threatened to k*ll me

could find me pretty easily if I continued to practice.

So the Justice Department

took these threats seriously enough

to enroll you in their Witness Protection Program.

Yes.

[Fisher] So that all those years of training...

four years of college,

four years of medical school,

two years of internship, five years of residency...

is that of any use to you now?

No.

Are you enjoying your life in the Witness Security Program?

-[scoffs] No. -[Fisher] Why not?

A lot of people would jump at the chance

to start their lives over.

Well...

I miss--

I miss what I was doing.

[sighs] I miss my practice.

I was a doctor.

-Now I'm-- I'm-- [sobbing] -[Fisher] You need some time.

[Pat sniffling]

No.

How else has your life changed

since you stepped forward to testify?

My--

my daughter--

my daughter has nightmares.

Objection. Has no bearing on the case.

The defense has questioned Dr. Sollars' motives

and suggests that her life has somehow improved

because of her testimony here.

I want the court to know what her life is really like.

The defense opened this line of questioning.

You may continue, Dr. Sollars.

[somber music playing]

Um...

my daughter is 12 years old.

She can't tell anyone her real name

or where she's from. [sobbing]

She had to leave her friends and her aunts

and her uncles and... [sobs]

...her grandparents

and I can't even call my mother or my father!

[sobs] And my-- my husband--

my husband is having a hard time keeping a job.

He lost his career. We can't go anywhere.

We-- we--

we can't even sleep at night.

Do you feel like a hero for testifying, Dr. Sollars?

Objection.

I feel like a victim.

[Pat sobs]

[Pat sobs]

[Harris sighs]

Court is adjourned for a 15-minute recess.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened to me.

There's nothing to be sorry for.

You're doing great.

One more round of cross-examination

and you're home free.

[woman] The worst is over. It'll only get easier.

[foreboding music playing]

Oh, I forgot my purse. I'll be right--

[Pat screams]

[woman on TV] Lenny Bruce said, "If you want justice

in the halls of justice, look in the halls."

There's no question the wheels of justice grind.

[Mack yawns]

[man on TV] Criminal and civil courts

are so baffled with cases

that the concept of, with all deliberate...

I was just thinking when...

Meg had that high fever.

-She had 104? -Mm? Mm.

Yeah. Kids can have high fevers.

-It's amazing. -Much higher than adults.

Scary.

That's what she had when Pat and I

took her to the hospital one time, 104.

[man on TV] ...do we need more courts just to handle the caseload,

we need increased security in the courtroom.

This afternoon in Washington, D.C.,

a witness was knifed as she was leaving the court.

And this was a federally protected witness.

Was she k*lled?

Fortunately, she was only wounded in the arm.

But imagine,

here's a woman who's put her life on the line,

a doctor, testifying in a major drug case.

And we can't even keep her safe in the court.

[announcer] KBGS News will return in a moment.

You almost ready, honey? We don't want to be late.

Yeah.

Oh, what a pretty bracelet. Where'd you get that?

Harold gave it to me.

Harold bought it for you?

No, he didn't buy it. It was his grandmother's.

It was his grandmother's, and-- and he gave it to you?

He said he wanted me to have it.

-Mom? -Hmm?

Why did you call off your wedding to Charles?

[Abby sighs]

Charles didn't love me the way I thought he did.

I made a mistake.

Harold said I should have presumed it wasn't your fault.

I'm sorry.

[Abby sighs]

Harold explained what a good mother you are.

Harold did?

He really thinks it's great

how you've taken such an interest in me.

Harold said you--

you're acting like a parent should act.

He really respects you.

Harold said I should appreciate you

and not be such a pain.

I can't make up my mind. Why don't we just get them both?

That makes it easy.

And while you're out, I want you to pick up

something for Kathy Ulmak.

And who is Kathy Ulmak?

She's the dame with the 102 fever

who stood me up last night.

Ah, right. Kindertotenlieder.

Yeah, exactly.

It was a great concert.

Fantastic. And it was her idea.

-I'm glad you had a good time. -Yeah.

Well, she's still feeling kind of lousy,

so I want you to get her something special.

Shouldn't your secretary do that?

My secretary doesn't know anything about art.

[melancholy music playing]

[car door shuts close]

-Karen. -[Karen] Yeah?

He's not the witness. She is.

-Who, Pat? -Yeah.

Her arm, she's hurt.

She's the one they were talking about on the news last night.

She's the one that was attacked in court?

-The doctor? -Yeah, she's a doctor.

When Meg got sick,

I asked her if she'd ever been a nurse

because she-- she talked like a doctor.

She knew all the medical terms.

[Karen] Mack.

What about Frank? You said he was a cop.

He is, but not a bad cop.

Well, then why doesn't he get a job on the police force?

He can't because then he'd be fingerprinted

and they won't let, uh-- let you be fingerprinted

in the Witness Security Program.

They've done everything they can to hide their past.

They've completely changed their identities.

We've done everything we could to uncover it.

Everything we've done?

There are people out there that want to k*ll them.

We've got to do something to help.

They'll never admit to being in the Witness Security Program.

We've got to do something.

The biggest danger to the Williams family right now is us.

Damn, I should have gone with you.

Mm-mm. No.

Baby, what if they had k*lled you?

When I went to the hospital, it's strange.

I found myself evaluating everyone's performance.

The surgeon on call, the intern, the triage nurse.

[solemn music playing]

Baby, I could not live without you.

Don't say that.

You know, it's really something,

but I wasn't afraid.

I was upset, but I wasn't afraid.

When I was on the stand, it's weird.

I kept thinking...

how nice it was to be called doctor.

Dr. Sollars.

I have never liked that name that they gave us,

Frank and Pat Williams.

[laughs] Mm-mm.

It's not a terrible name, but we--

we're just not Williamses.

[both chuckle]

Because we used to know some Williamses.

Do you remember that?

[Frank laughs]

Honey. [laughs]

I, uh--

I got fired.

I'm not a salesman.

I'm not.

I thought about telephoning Bill today.

Just wanted to hear the sound of a voice I knew.

Don't worry. I didn't.

I wanted to, but I didn't.

I miss my friends.

-I miss all those-- -[doorbell rings]

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you alright?

My arm? Oh, yeah. I fell down at work, you know.

Gave it a real good whack.

It's alright. Just got a big bruise.

-Oh. [chuckles] -Oh.

Um, I know this is kind of short notice,

but I-- I was just thinking--

Well, we were just thinking that maybe you were...

hungry.

-Bagels. -Soul food.

-[Karen chuckles] -This?

-Yeah. -[Mack] Oh, yeah.

-[Pat] Right? -I-- I--

You know what would go real good with that?

-What? -Beer.

Beer. Yeah, cold one right here. Right here. Cold one here.

Here, get your cold beer.

Here you go, lady. Cold beer.

Beer here. Cold one right here. Cold one here.

Here, get your cold beer.

[eerie music playing]

[Valene gasps]

[paper bag thuds]

"Finally out of danger. I miss you. I love you.

Hug the kids for me. See you soon. Ben."

[Valene breathing shakily]

[narrator] Next, on Knots Landing.

I haven't known Val that long,

but I get the impression that she isn't very realistic.

What if Ben mailed that a month ago?

Something happened to him in the last month.

How would you explain why you go to such trouble

for all these other women...

when I'm right here?

She's heading for another broken heart.

Don't try to break them up. Trust me.

Olivia will get sick of him.

I want you to be my wife.

I will.
