Today’s episode was directed by Christopher Goutman and written by Elizabeth Page.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: Hello? Emily: Henry, it's Emily. Henry: When you hear the beep, please leave a message. Emily: Very funny. Get over here right away. We've got work to do.
Emily: I told Paul that Meg had Dusty's wallet. I told him about the bloodstains. Henry: Okay. Emily: And knowing that, he still confessed? Why did he do that? Henry: Because he killed Dusty? Emily: Yeah, but he didn't kill Du -- look, if Meg killed Dusty -- I thought you used to be a detective? Henry: Private eye. In the job of making women angrier at their husbands than they already were. Nobody ever said anything about murders or bloody wallets -- Emily: What Paul should have done was swear that he was innocent and then beg me to go to Hal with this information, then Hal would have arrested Meg. Henry: Mm-hmm. Obviously, he knew that. Emily: What? Henry: He knew that if the police found out that Meg had the wallet, then the suspicion would fall on her. Emily: What are you saying? Henry: I'm saying he opted for another way, Em. Emily: But why would he do that? Why would he confess to a crime that he didn't commit? That makes no sense. Henry: I don't -- I -- maybe -- I -- the man was nursed back to health by her. Jack: According to the bail obvious he is protecting her for some reason. Hey, I got a great idea. Let's get my money. We'll go to the airport. Fly to Bermuda. Emily: I hate Bermuda. Henry: How could you hate Bermuda? It's a vacation! Just the two of us in separate rooms. I'm not implying anything here. And I will pay for the whole thing. I'll get you a nice rum punch. Park your fanny out there by the pool. A couple of weeks, you'll be right as rain. Emily: That woman is not getting away with murder. Henry: And if she's innocent? Emily: Well, then why did she have Dusty Donovan's wallet in her hotel room? And why did she go bananas when -- when she caught you in her room? Henry: I broke into her room, Em. How do you expect her to react? Emily: You know what? If they arrest Meg, they're going to arrest Paul. Henry: Oh, we still got a lot of pending problems there. Emily: Yeah, but nothing quite as big as murder, right? And if I can just convince Paul to tell the police that it was Meg -- how does this sound? I got an idea. Henry: Yeah. Emily: He shot himself. He tried to kill himself, but he failed. And Meg found him, only she didn't go to the police. She'd locked him in the cabin. And that'll take care of the whole bail jumping charges. And then -- and then there's just the baby thing left. And Jennifer dropped the charges against me, right? And if she did that for me, then she would do that for him. I mean, he is her brother. Henry: Then what? Then what? You get married and live happily ever after? Emily it could happen. Henry: Oh, honey, honey, honey! Emily: He does not love Meg, okay? He does not love Meg and he's certainly not going to marry her, Henry. So maybe he was infatuated with her. The whole nurse thing. [ Henry laughs ] But now that he's better he -- I know that deep down he still loves me. I know that. Henry: Okay, whatever keeps you warm at night. This has been fun. There's a bar stool calling my name. Emily: No, no, no, no, no. You're not going anywhere. You stay put. I need you. Henry: Em, who're you calling? Emily: Yes, hi. I'd like to speak to lieutenant Hal Munson. Henry: Emily, no. No. No. Emily: Yes, please. Tell him it's his ex-wife and she and Henry Coleman have something very important to tell him.
Hal: What were you doing in Meg Snyder's hotel room? Henry: Well, that's just it. I didn't know it was Meg's hotel room. I just thought it was a hotel room at the Lakeview, and I was checking out some views for a client that wanted me to do some surveillance from the window and then, the phone rang! And I needed a piece of paper to write a message. Hal: You answered somebody else's phone? Henry: I thought it was for me. Because I'd told the clerk I was there to check out a view. Hal: The clerk who gave you a pass key, which would never happen. Emily: No, but the point is, Henry found Dusty Donovan's wallet. Henry: Right, next to the phone. Actually, in a box next to the phone. Which I only opened because I needed a pencil to take down the message. Hal: You found Dusty Donovan's wallet in Meg Snyder's hotel room? Emily: Yes, and there was something on it. There were blood stains all over the wallet. No, really, I saw it with my own eyes! And there were credit cards and a driver's license and then Meg blew a fuse when she found out we'd seen it. And all of this was after Dusty went missing. Hal: And it didn't occur to you to mention this to me when you saw me at the station? Emily: I'm mentioning it to you now. And it proves what I've been saying all along. That Paul is innocent. Meg killed Dusty.
