You've gone out with Amber three months, and she won't sleep with you.
She says she's not ready.
Tony, wake up and smell the coffee, all right?
She's ready. She's just not willing.
[ALARM CLOCK RlNGlNG]
[LAUGHlNG]
You mean with me?
[CROWD APPLAUDlNG]
- Well, move to the head of the class. - But we got something good.
- Uh-huh. Dump her. - No way, man. I can't do that.
Oh!
- What's her number? - 555-01 95. Why?
You ever heard of mitzvah, Tony, huh? It's a good deed.
[OVER PHONE] It's what I'm gonna do for you. Hold on.
[LlNE RlNGS]
[PHONE RlNGS]
- Hello? - Hello. Is Amber there?
- Yeah. Who's this? - This is David Silver from KVlB.
Shut up.
I got Tony on the other line. He wants me to pass on a message to you.
He wants you to play "You're Still the One"?
No. Actually, he wants me to dump you. Bye-bye.
Baby?
[TOlLET FLUSHES]
ALL: Whoo.
That felt kind of good.
Kelly, you're not gonna believe it. The Patches are here.
[GUNFlRE]
They said they wanna talk to you.
- What are you doing? - We wouldn't be here
- if it wasn't important. - I think your being here
is completely inappropriate.
We thought about writing, but decided we needed to say this face-to-face.
What could you possibly have to say to me?
We forgive you for killing our son.
And we hope that someday you'll be able to forgive us.
- Forgive you for what? WOMAN: For Joey raping you.
We're not trying to offend you.
I think you should go.
Please. Healing begins with forgiveness.
Part of me wishes that I could give that to you,
but some things are unforgivable.
- Are you in charge? - Yeah. Club's closed.
- Reopen at 8. - I'm not interested
in what time you open. It's how late you're open that concerns me.
Oh, I get it. You wanna know what's going on after-hours, huh?
No, I know what's going on after-hours.
You're keeping me awake.
- Ha, ha. What, are you a neighbour? - I live across the alley.
You live across from a club, and you're complaining? Are you crazy?
- No. - Hi.
- What, is there a problem? - No, he was just leaving.
I checked with the city. The latest a club
is allowed to stay open is till 2 a.m. You're open till 4.
You are right. And not only that, the club was way too loud last night.
You know what? I'm going to personally take care of this myself.
- How about that? - Just try to keep the noise down.
- Okay? GlNA: I'll talk to him.
He's cute, but he's not that bright. You know what I mean?
- Okay? I'll see you later, though. - Bye.
All right, take care. Okay. Idiot.
- We're gonna burn in hell on this one. - This is true.
But if what we're doing is going to help support Donna
in the manner in which she's grown accustomed to,
how could it possibly be wrong?
Actually, we're moving in together, Donna and l.
So the money crunch, it's over.
That's great. She can be the breadwinner.
That's very masculine of you.
What do we need for tonight? Come on.
This is my list of things to do. Here's a pen.
MAN [ON TV]: Now for a live report,
we switch to Larry McCormick.
LARRY [ON TV]: Larry McCormick reporting live from superior court
where, later today, attorney Matt Durning,
trying his first major murder case,
will try convincing a jury to overturn the death sentence of Pete Hawkins,
who is scheduled to be executed next week
for the rape and murder of Pam Steinman.
MAN : We'll check back with Larry for an update later in this half-hour.
In business news, another communications giant
is talking merger. Company...
NAT: Hey. DON NA: Hey. You seen Noah?
Uh, yeah. He went next door after breakfast. The guy slaves.
- Ha, ha, okay. - Heh.
Heard the show last night.
Hey. If my ratings keep improving, I'll be number one in my time slot
- by the end of the year. - Really?
People are losing their minds over this angry-guy routine.
Some people. Not me. Obviously not Robin.
Robin couldn't understand it was an act. That's her problem.
How sad that you couldn't see how great she was,
or you wouldn't have let this silly show ruin things.
- I don't think it's silly. - You play sound effects
- of toilets flushing. - I tell guys to stand up for themselves.
And if they can't, you do it for them.
Heh, if this is about the breakup last night on the air,
believe me, I was doing the guy a favour.
And in the process, you raised your ratings.
Let me take a second to decide which I think you care more about.
- Well, that was a cheap shot. - I don't think so.
- We're set, right? - I'm taking care of the liquor.
You're doing the invitations.
I'm getting Dylan out by midnight. Close the club by 4 a.m.,
because I don't want that little weird guy coming...
NOAH & GlNA: Hey. - Hey.
- Am I interrupting something? - No. We were just discussing stuff.
- Stuff? GlNA: Stuff for the club.
For the Halloween party.
Yeah, we were, uh, talking about themes.
- And? GlNA: "And" what?
- And what'd you come up with? - Ha, ha. Oh, yeah, right.
- Uh, nothing. Nothing good. - Try me.
Yeah, Noah. Tell her about that idea that you got that I really like.
Yeah, the one, um...
- The '80s night. '80s night. Yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh! Oh, I like that. - So do l.
- Um, weren't you on your way to...? - Oh, yeah, to, um, accessorise.
Um--
Yeah, well, you know, '80s night, gotta accessorise.
He wants me to pick out some lace gloves for you, and so...
He's so sweet, heh.
NOAH: Good night.
Ahh. Were you guys really talking about Halloween?
Yeah, we were talking about Halloween. And we were, um, also
talking about this.
- What's this, heh? - Open it up.
[DONNA GASPS]
Ooh! Noah. This is beautiful.
Yeah, picked it out last week, and Gina just dropped it by.
That's why we were feeling kind of awkward here.
- I'm sorry. - That's okay.
I'm just really glad, you know, things are working out.
Me too.
I can't remember my opening statement.
- You've gone over it a hundred times. - No, I cannot remember a word.
KELLY: I've never seen you like this before.
No one's life has ever depended on me before.
- Thank you for being here. KELLY: Listen to me.
Pete Hawkins has been on death row for ten years.
This is one of his last appeals,
and no one's willing to make it except you.
And this is a pep talk, right?
No matter what the jury decides, he's lucky to have you.
Pam Steinman is dead, and we are all sorry for that.
If you asked me to trade Pete Hawkins' life for hers, I would.
But I can't. She's gone.
He killed her.
And another killing will not bring her back.
I'd like to call Walter Hawkins to the stand.
You are Pete Hawkins' brother, correct?
His, uh, older brother, yes.
And you grew up in the same apartment?
Why don't you tell us what that was like?
There were, uh, seven of us.
I was the oldest, and Pete was third.
We never knew our father.
Our stepfather, he, uh, beat our mother pretty bad.
If Pete would say anything, he got beat too.
Couple of times, he had to go to the hospital.
Did your brother kill Pam Steinman?
Yes, he, uh-- He did.
How do you know this?
Because, after it happened, he came home, and he told me.
He was drunk and scared.
And after he told you, what did you do?
I turned him in to the police.
- Turned in your own brother. - What he did was horrible.
In prison these past ten years, he's changed.
You wanna kill the man who committed that terrible crime?
That man is already dead.
Look, I'm begging you, please let him live.
[DOOR OPENS]
- Anybody home? - Hey.
Hey. I went to the costume shop today to try and figure out
what I was gonna go as for Halloween, when I had this revelation.
- Do I wanna hear this? - Absolutely. It involves you.
- I don't wanna hear this. - We're gonna make this house
the best haunted house in all of history.
A haunted house? That's your revelation?
Yeah. Don't you see? Instead of being kids, we're gonna entertain kids.
We're gonna be the parents.
Hey, Janet, are you sure you don't mind my borrowing your earrings?
These are gonna make the most awesome nipple rings.
- Oh. - Pinky, this is Steve.
- Hey. - Steve, say hi to Pinky.
- Hi, Pinky, heh. - Dude, nice stash.
Pinky and I went to college together, and she's in a band
- that's playing the club on Halloween. - I gave you these earrings.
Did you hear what I said? I made plans to go out on Halloween.
Excuse me for a second, ha, ha.
I'm sure Pinky's a real nice person, it's just that,
I don't know, club hopping with a band is not really where we're at right now,
- are we? - Not where you're at.
Hey, how much for the fingers?
- We need to talk. - I would love to.
But right now, I can't, because I have to go rehearse.
- Rehearse? - Yeah. I joined the band.
Joined a band?
So far, we've heard about Mr. Hawkins' troubled childhood,
and we've heard about his recent rehabilitation.
What we haven't heard about is Pete Hawkins the rapist.
Pete Hawkins the murderer.
And no one can tell you more about that person than Pete Hawkins does
in this audiotape of his confession.
PETE [ON RECORDlNG]: I happened to look through this doorway,
and there was this chick asleep on the couch.
Um, I don't know, I was horny or whatever,
but anyway, I got her clothes off and, uh, started raping her.
And then I asked her if she had any money,
and she said yes and that it was in the other room.
And that's when I started stabbing her.
Uh, and she, heh... She didn't die at first.
And so I strangled her just to make sure.
There was blood everywhere, and I didn't seem to notice.
I just laid there with her for a while stroking her hair
and whispering in her ear.
[POP M USlC PLAYl NG ON SPEAKERS]
Hey, look, dude, I want her back.
- Who? - Amber.
You broke up with her for me last night?
- You're Tony. TONY: Yeah.
- I made a huge, huge mistake. - No, you made the right decision.
TONY: No, I didn't, man. - Tony, trust me, okay?
You're gonna whip through the grief. You're gonna find somebody better.
You don't understand. She was the best thing that ever happened to me.
She was smart. She was funny. She actually seemed to enjoy
- pretending that I was funny. - But she didn't love you.
Look, you don't know that.
It's my opinion, which is what you asked for.
Now I gotta go do my show.
- You ruined my life, man! - I gave you advice.
It's what you asked for. You didn't have to follow it.
DYLAN: Hey, hey, you have gotta calm down.
You get her back for me, man.
Get her back.
[GRUNTS]
Look, come here. Come here.
Sit down.
Sit. Just stay there.
Yeah, I know. Guy was about to lose it.
Yeah, I would say so, thanks to you.
- Heh, what, are you taking his side? - No, I'm not on his side.
I'm on your side, David,
and that's why when you act like an idiot, I gotta call you on it.
I got ten seconds. Ahem.
You got ten seconds?
To do what, uh, get on there and dispense your rage
as some sort of, uh, infinite wisdom?
Seven, six, five, four, three, two...
Greetings from the After Dark.
This is David Silver, with you until midnight.
Tonight's topic: old friends
and when it's okay to tell them to go to hell.
It seems to be true that the older some people get,
the more conservative they get. The reality is...
All right, come on, laughing boy. I am gonna call you a cab.
Since you're over the legal limit for a party of five. Whoa.
TONY: I love you, man, ha, ha. MAN: The bartender says
- you ordered a cab? - Yeah. Tony, you gotta let go of me.
- I can't. DYLAN: No, you really do.
[DYLAN GRUNTS]
[TONY CHUCKLES]
Hey, listen, when you get home, before you tell Amber
how lucky she is to have such a good hugger for a boyfriend,
TONY: Yeah? - breath mints.
- Yeah, a lot of them. I mean it. - Okay.
TONY: Ha, ha.
Um, here. That ought to do it.
31 5, uh, Burton Drive? Make sure he gets in all right, will you?
- All right. - I love you so much.
MAN: Yeah. He's-- TONY: Man, I do.
He's right about those breath mints, man. Let's go.
- Let's go, buddy. Come on, buddy. - I love you too, man. Yeah. Yeah, heh.
Then I got this one friend who thinks that, uh,
if my pants sag too much, he needs to organise some kind of an intervention.
Ha, ha, if you know what I'm saying.
Hey, guess who's playing at the showcase.
DYLAN: Hmm? - Chinatown. Let's go.
Uh, yeah, great. But, um, I gotta do something first.
Oh, okay. I'll meet you at the bar.
- Hey. - Hey.
Nice bracelet.
Oh, yeah. My, uh, boyfriend gave it to me.
- Oh, yeah? What's the occasion? - That was the greatest part.
There wasn't one.
Sounds like a great guy to me. Come here.
Ahh. Well, he would be, except for one little problem.
- Oh, yeah? What's that? DONNA: He works too damn hard.
Ooh.
And even when I come here and ask him to come home with me
so I can show him exactly how much I appreciate him--
NOAH: Hmm.
--he says he has to work.
- You are killing me right now. DONNA: Hmm, doing my best.
- Mm-hm. I know. - Hmm.
Just another week and a half. Things are gonna ease up.
- Promise. - Okay.
[CHUCKLES]
Bye.
All right, everything's cool with Donna.
Have you taken care of Dylan?
Yeah. Five minutes, and we're out of here.
Okay. Cool.
You again? I'm back on in two minutes.
Yeah, I know. Very busy, tight schedule.
One fifty-nine, 58, 57, 56...
You used to complain that I was reckless.
- Five, four... - That kid Tony,
what you said messed him up. And Robin too.
I think right now, you're the one who's being reckless, David.
You know what? I don't lie to anyone. All right?
And everything I tell people to do, they have to take responsibility for doing it.
DYLAN: Mm-hm.
So you have no piece of what happened to Tony?
- None. - None of his anger? His upset?
- None of his depression? - I don't know if he's depressed or not.
You don't know anything, David. You're not a doctor.
You've not had any training in how to counsel people.
- I'm not responsible. - That's my point.
You used to be responsible.
Yeah. And everyone took advantage of me.
No chance of that happening now.
[DOOR CREAKlNG]
[DOG HOWLlNG]
[BELL BUZZES]
[BOTH SCREAM]
STEVE: Janet, you scared me.
[CHUCKLES]
What do you think?
I think that I'm either terrified or I'm going into labour.
- Well? - Congratulations. I'm terrified.
[SlGHS]
- So how was rehearsals? - Do you really wanna know?
I asked, didn't l?
It was really great. It was exhilarating, and it was fun.
And I wasn't nervous like I was in college.
- You've been in a band before? - That's why this is so important to me.
Oh, now I understand.
Just doesn't come at a good time.
Because we're so busy with adult activities,
Iike preparing for Halloween by making popcorn balls
and dripping green slime down the stairs?
Popcorn balls are a healthy snack alternative.
- And it's not slime, it's ooze. - Ooze?
Hey, don't eat that. That's for the kids.
Okay, I'm gonna go to bed now,
and I hope that when I wake up in the morning,
this whole Leave It to Beaver moment will just be a bad dream.
I deserve your support.
- Hi. Heh. - Hi. It's silk.
By the time we were done, that's all I could find near the courthouse.
I know. Sorry.
It's okay.
I know you've had a busy day. I understand.
I'd been so nervous about my presentation
that I didn't think about what I was presenting.
Or how it would affect you.
- Did you hear anything? - No. We, um, get the ruling tomorrow.
Joe Patch's parents came to see me last night.
What did they want?
Forgiveness for raising a psychopath.
I'm sure that was very difficult.
I didn't give it to them.
[SlGHS]
I should never have brought you there.
No, I'm glad you did.
But it made me think, if the situation were reversed,
and Joe Patch had killed me, would you want him executed?
- Kelly, that-- - Would you?
I would be angry. I'd be sad.
- I'd be outraged. - Would you want him to die?
I think the death penalty is wrong.
It's not only unfairly applied, but it's immoral.
It's wrong, Kelly. Sorry, that's the way I feel.
- So you would want my killer to live? - Well, when you put it that way,
yes, but in jail. I think you would too.
No, Matt, I wouldn't. I would want him to die.
I hope when the judge comes back tomorrow,
they want your client to die too.
[CELL PHONE RlNGlNG]
GlNA: Hello? - Finally.
Oh.
- Hi, uh, Mom. What are you doing? - I've been trying your room.
- You haven't been there. - What's going on?
I can't find my key to the DJ booth. We have to open up in one hour.
Oh, really? Well, why don't you just go, uh, buy a CD player?
I don't have time to buy a CD player, okay? Listen, Dylan has a master key.
Slip it off his keychain and bring it over here.
- Is that all? NOAH: That's all.
Got a half-hour.
No, no, no. I-- Hey. Hello?
[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG ON SPEAKERS]
No, no, no. The dances are only three minutes,
- and they're 40 bucks, and that's it. - And it's strictly hands-off.
GlNA: Yeah. NOAH: Any questions?
GlNA: Okay, bye-bye. - Have a good time.
[SlGHS]
Is that David's dad?
NOAH: What's he doing here?
GlNA: Oh, my God, it is. What a skank.
Why would he come somewhere he might get caught?
- I'm gonna go find out. NOAH: All right.
[DONNA SCOFFS]
- Is this what you call working late? - Hey. Uh, what are you doing here?
I came here because I felt sorry for you.
I thought you'd be overworked and lonely.
- Hey, that guy just grabbed me. DONNA: Ugh.
NOAH: Donna.
Hold it right there.
- Oh, is there a problem here? - Disturbing the peace,
operating without a licence,
- prostitution. - I'm leaving.
No one's going anywhere. I'm gonna shut the place down.
[SlGHS]
- Hi. Let's go. - Gina, what are you--?
Let's go.
[NOAH SlGHS]
She had nothing to do with it.
You're making a mistake. I'm not a prostitute.
OFFlCER: Uh-huh, tell the judge.
[SlGHS]
[PHONE RlNGS]
[GlNA GRUNTS]
Yeah?
What?
[DYLAN GRUNTS]
Hey, just slow down, Donna. I'll be right there.
- What? - Unh, I don't know.
Something happened at the club last night.
- What? - I don't know, but Donna is in jail.
Oh, my God.
- Hi. MATT: Morning.
I've been thinking about
- what we talked about. MATT: Yeah?
And I really think what you're doing is wrong.
You're entitled to your opinion.
- No, I mean wrong, immoral. - Yesterday, you were on my side.
Today, what I'm doing is immoral.
- I believe it is. - Kelly, you're personalising this.
Yes, I am, Matt, and I think you should too.
Walter, this is my girlfriend, Kelly Taylor.
Pleased to meet you.
Hi. You too.
- Have you heard anything yet? - No, not yet.
We're waiting for the clerk to call with the verdict.
Why don't you stay until we do? We could use everyone's prayers.
I told you, I was trying to make extra money.
- For me? - For us,
so we could get a nice place.
Did you use that extra money for this bracelet?
Yeah, I did. Donna, come on, don't do--
[SlGHS]
DYLAN: You okay? - Yeah. Thanks for bailing us out.
It's all right. Come on.
- Did you tell them about me? - I didn't say anything.
I got here as fast as I could. You okay?
- Yeah, thanks. - Oh, good. No problem.
- I called, uh, Felice. - You did not.
GlNA: Yeah, I did.
I didn't think you'd want her to hear about it from someone else and worry.
- Listen, Dylan, I can explain, man. - Yeah, I'm sure. I'm not interested.
Come on, let's go.
[SlGHS]
I got this kid Tony on tape, right? And he's like, "l want her back.'
But he's real emotional. I'm gonna use it
as a bumper into my commercials. It's gonna be the funniest thing.
Ha-ha-ha. You gotta hear this. It's hysterical.
Yeah, I heard it.
- We have a rough night? - Hmm. Coffee, please.
Sure.
[SlGHS]
- You know, it's not funny. - It's just a joke.
No, it's making fun of someone.
- Yeah, so? DONNA: So?
David, say a teenage girl calls in-- Thanks, Nat.
--and she doesn't wanna have sex with her boyfriend till she gets married.
- What do you call her, a fool? - I don't know what I'd say.
And then her boyfriend calls in. What do you tell him? To dump her?
- I gotta go. - You know what, David?
I'm not just mad at you. I'm worried.
Heh, I don't even recognise you anymore.
I'm gonna, uh, get going. Um, I have to get back to the store.
- I just-- I can't-- - You don't need to explain.
Bless you for your kind thoughts.
[PHONE RlNGS]
Matt Durning.
Yes?
Right. Thank you.
[SlGHS]
I'm sorry.
Now, we can still appeal to the governor.
I should've never turned him in.
- You can't blame yourself. - He's gonna die.
KELLY: It's not your fault.
My brother's gonna--
[CRYlNG]
- Hi. - If it's another scheme, forget it.
Guess how much money we made last night.
- Last night shouldn't have happened. - Four thousand dollars.
I don't care how much we made. People got arrested.
- At least some of us, anyway. - I did wanna talk to you about that.
Um, listen, I feel bad and everything, and so, um, here's what I'm gonna do.
You take this. Go ahead, take all of it, no split.
- Heh, okay, what's the catch? - Don't be a jerk. Just take it. Hurry.
Did you tell someone about my involvement in this?
- No, your integrity's safe with me. - All right, then you can have it.
Twenty grand. That's what I'm being fined because you're stupid.
- It's a big dent in your trust fund. GlNA: You know what?
I think that you two would get along really well
if maybe you just communicated with each other more.
Did you know I'm on probation,
and what you did could've got me sent to jail?
- I understand that, but you didn't. - I ought to shut the place down.
First, I'm gonna pay you back all your money, okay?
But I don't work for you. I never did. I never will.
I own the building.
You own the building, and I lease it out from you.
You wanna buy out that lease, go ahead. Feel free.
Till that happens, get out of my office.
[CHUCKLES]
- I said, get out. - Maybe you guys shouldn't stand
- so close to each other. - Sit down. Twenty thousand.
You better learn to count that high because you owe me.
Twenty thousand.

I'm going as a bass guitarist.

Oh.
STEVE: Careful kids.
[CHlLDREN SCREAMlNG]
Let's not argue in front of the kids.
When did you become an egghead?
I've become responsible. It's something you used to want me to be.
I wanted you to grow up, not grow old.
This is fun.

Hi.
Heh, aren't you a little old for trick-or-treating?
Yeah. Um...
I'm David Silver.
- What do you want? - I wanted to apologise.
What I did was wrong, and I'm sorry.
Is that your costume?
My half, anyway.
Tony was gonna be the other half. He was gonna wear all blue.
We were going as a bruise.
[CHUCKLES]
He's miserable, just so you know.
He had you break up with me on the air.
It was my idea. He thought just because I gave advice on the radio
I actually knew what I was talking about.
People make that mistake all the time.
The truth is, I don't.
Yeah, you hurt people.
Yeah, I know.
Heh, a bruise is a good one.
[CHUCKLES]
When I heard that the club was doing '80s night,
I figured it could double for Pat Benatar's eye shadow.
[LAUGHS]
Tony would've liked that.
Could you do me a favour?
Could you try and not blame Tony for what I did?
Thank you very much.
KELLY: May I speak to you, Mrs. Patch?
I was hoping we could talk about forgiveness.
DAVlD: Happy '80s night.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG ON SPEAKERS]
If you see Noah, be nice to him, okay?
- I'll give him a big hug. - I know what he did was wrong,
but Donna's a money pit, so you can't really blame him.
So, what, he has a reason?
Yeah. I'm saying he probably had a great reason.
- What about you? You got a reason? - For what?
- I know you're involved in this. - lnvolved in what?
The other night, I woke up, and you were gone.
I looked on the nightstand.
There were my keys, but one key was missing.
You wanna guess which one? Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
- Well, why didn't you say something? - I thought that you would.
- So now what? - Now is the portion of the programme
where I tell you how awful you are,
and I don't ever wanna see you again for as long as I live.
- Is that what you're saying? DYLAN: No.
Because I don't care about you and Noah and the club and any of that.
I don't want you to lie to me. You can be honest with me.
I'm sorry that I lied to you.
- No more lying. - No.
This after-hours business, this is all over?
Completely over.
- All right. GlNA: I won't lie.
Well, happy Halloween from the After Dark.
This is David Silver live on KVlB. We've got classics from the '80s,
we have a very special musical guest, and we've got your calls.
But first, I would like to apologise.
I'd like to apologise for giving lame advice.
I was hurt recently, and I was angry,
and I gave angry advice to you folks at home, and it was irresponsible.
So from now on, I am gonna be focusing on getting people together
instead of tearing them apart. Big change for me.
Oh, and, uh, about last night and the whole theme of, you know,
old friends and when it's okay to tell them to go to hell.
The answer to that question is never.
[POP MUSlC PLAYlNG ON SPEAKERS]
Dropped all the charges.
- The criminal charges, not the fine. - I'll take care of that.
- You have nothing to worry about. - I think I do.
I mean the part about going to jail.
How can we move in together when I can't even trust you?
- Donna, I explained to you why I did it. - After you did it.
Yeah, after I did it. You would've never approved of this.
Anytime one of us does something the other won't like,
- we should keep it a secret? - That's not what I meant.
Look, I shouldn't have done it, okay? It was stupid. I did it for us.
For us. Okay?

[DOOR CREAKlNG]
- Hey. - Candy bar?
No, thanks.
Man, place looks great.
Oh, you should've seen it earlier. I had kids running around everywhere.
- Yeah? - It's just a little lull right now, though.
- Before you go out? - Before the next batch of kids come.
Kids have bedtimes. I think your work is done here.
It's only 9: 1 5. I never used to go out before 1 0:00.
So you get to play with the kids and go out.
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
- Yeah. Yeah, it does. - Hmm.
Hey, uh, Kelly told me about the case. I'm sorry.
Thanks.
I never could've done for that guy what you did.
I obviously didn't do enough.
You know, I used to believe in capital punishment.
Kelly told me about your argument. I know it doesn't mean anything,
but, pfft, you completely changed my mind.
Actually, it means a lot.
[ROCK MUSlC PLAYlNG ON SPEAKERS]
I can't do this.
Just take a couple of deep breaths. You're gonna rock, okay?
No, you don't understand. I really can't do this.
This is a huge mistake.
No, your deciding not to play with us in college, that was your big mistake.
Look at me. I am six and a half months' pregnant.
I should be home. I should be selecting bunting.
I don't think so.
- I shouldn't? STEVE: No.
You should be out on that stage.
- I should? STEVE: I panicked, okay?
For some reason, I thought you had to choose between
being a parent and having a life.
Your being here means so much to me.
I'm sorry for being an egghead.
- What made you change your mind? - Oh, I had a revelation.
- You've been having a lot of those. - You know, kids have bedtimes.
- Time to go on. You ready? - Uh-huh.
NOAH: All right. Let's go. - You're gonna be a big star.
I'll settle for not throwing up.
[STEVE CHUCKLES]
- And, Steve. - Yeah?
Tell me you didn't have that in your closet.
[LAUGHS]
Ladies and gentlemen, Zaftig Figure.

- Mel? - Who is this?
This is, uh, Gina Kincaid, the girl who saved you last night.
- What do you want? - You know,
the people I didn't help went to jail.
Look, uh, this isn't a good time to talk.
I wonder what your son, David, and your wife, Jackie, would think.
- Okay, thanks for calling. - One little phone call from me,
and I guess we wouldn't have to wonder, would we? Ha, ha.
- Yeah. I'll talk to you soon. - We will talk soon
about how much it's gonna cost to keep me quiet.
Hello?
MATT: Hi. - Hi.
- What are you doing here? - Stopped by a couple hours ago.
- Where you been? - I went to see the Patches.
- And? - And I gave them what they wanted.
You don't sound happy about that.
I'm not really happy or sad.
After watching Walter's anguish in your office this afternoon,
I just knew that it was the right thing to do.
I'm proud of you.
I'm just glad that it's over.
I hope this means that I have your support again.
- Why would it mean that? - You said you were able to forgive.
Two people who committed no crime. Even that was difficult.
- Kelly, I need you. - No, you don't.
How can you say that?
A person is gonna die because I couldn't save him.
No, a person is going to die because he's a killer.
Look, this isn't about him. This is about me trying to save him.
And if I can't, it is my fault. Not his, it is mine.
Why can't you see that?
You told me to personalise it.
- Is the case over? - No.
I don't think we should see each other until it is.
Maybe we shouldn't.
