Today’s episode was directed by Greg Saccaro and written by Josh Griffith.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Meg: Hello, Henry. Henry: Meg. Don't let me keep you. I'm sure there are some other places you'd rather be. Meg: I could say the same about you. Henry: Are you looking for someone? Meg: Your other half. Where's Emily? Henry: She's upstairs planting more evidence in your room. This time we are going to try to frame you for the canyon river murders. I think eventually something is going to stick. Meg: Don't count on it. Henry: I don't count on anything. Meg: Why are you so committed to her? Henry: Who says I am? Meg: Every step you've taken in the last month kind of tells me she's got you on a short leash. Henry: On a leash? Looks can be deceiving. Meg: Come on, Henry, you're a smart guy. Why are you letting her drag you down? Henry: Meg, it looks like we're bosom buddies, but we're not. We're far from it. Meg: She's got something on you. That's why you are doing her dirty work, isn't it? Henry: Maybe I just have a burning desire to see justice served. Meg: Yeah, right. You're only burning desire is to make it on the cocktail hour. Henry: Speaking of which, it's almost time. Meg: You're backing the wrong horse, Henry. And she is out for revenge. She wants to hurt Paul for abandoning on her, but she's going to crash. Take my advice and get out of the car while you still can.
Henry: What say you worry about your own problems, Meg, and let me worry about mine? Emily being the least of them. Meg: If you don't see how dangerous and unstable Emily is, you're blind. Henry: Dangerous? Unstable? That's hilarious, coming from a woman who killed dusty Donovan and kept her bloody glove in her bag as a souvenir. Meg: They couldn't hold me, remember? The evidence was tainted. Henry: Oh, please. You think your lawyer's lame claim that we planted something that would stop Hal Munson from finding out the truth. You bought yourself some time, sweetheart, not an acquittal. Meg: When the dust clears, I'll still be standing. And you're going to be sorry you didn't take my advice and get as far away from Emily Stewart as you can. Henry: Don't worry, I plan to, as soon as I tie up some loose ends. Meg: What loose ends might those be? Henry: Aren't you dying to know? [cell phone rings] Excuse me, I have to have a real conversation now. Emily: Hello, Henry. Henry: Whatever it is, I don't have the time. Or the inclination. Emily: You know what, that's too bad. This is important. Get down to the jail immediately. Henry: Good grief, what have you done now? Emily: Don't worry, I haven't turned you in. At least, not yet. Henry: So, what are you doing in jail? Emily: Getting married. Henry: What? Emily: There's no time to talk, okay? On the way over, stop at Neumann's Jewelers and pick up a couple of wedding bands. Our sizes are on file. Henry: For you and whom? Please don't tell me you're doing what I think you're doing. Please, please, please. Emily: Just do what I'm asking. There isn't much time. Henry: I'd love to stay and chat, but luckily, I have to go. Meg: Where? Henry: To have my head examined!
Minister: I was very surprised to get your call, Emily. You have to admit, this is highly unusual. Emily: Well, what's life without a little controversy, right, rev? Minister: Are you certain this is what you want? Emily: I've never been more certain about anything in my entire life. Minister: And you, Paul? You've been charged with a serious crime. If convicted, you'll be spending a long time behind bars. Is this really the best thing for Emily? Paul: I don't know, ask Emily. Emily: I know what I'm getting into. Minister: I'm asking you, Paul. Paul: I want to make Emily happy. She insists this is the way to do that. Emily: It is. It absolutely is. Oh, I'm sorry, excuse me. If you don't mind. Minister: It would be cruel and wrong to disappoint Emily again. Paul: I don't ever plan to disappoint anybody. Emily: Good, lord, could you have got an cheaper set of rings, Henry? Henry: Hey, thanks to you, I'm broke, remember? You're still holding my modest fortune hostage. Besides, how was I to know for sure this was even legit? Last I heard, you were pretty damned suspicious of Paul's sudden change of heart. Emily: That was then. This is now. Henry: Spare me the country-western wisdom. As far as I'm concerned, you're plumb loco, honey. Paul pops the question through cell bars and suddenly you're ready to forgive all and trust the guy? Did you check your brain with the desk sergeant? Emily: I know what I'm doing, Henry. Henry: I certainly hope so. Emily: Here. Susan: Emily! Emily: Oh, hi. Susan: That was a very strange message you left me. What has Paul dragged you into this time? Emily: A wedding ceremony, that's what. Susan: You've got to be kidding me! Emily: No. I'm not kidding. We're getting married right now. Susan: That's not possible. He's in jail. Emily: It's totally possible. I looked into it, it's perfectly legal. Susan: Legal or not, it doesn't make it right. Emily: Can you, for once, be happy for me? Susan: No. I can't. Not for this! Emily: Well, fine, be that way, but there's nothing you can do to stop me. Susan: No? We'll see about that!
Paul: Just talk to me about this. Emily: If usual mother is not too thrilled about this. It's okay. She can't stop us if this is what we both want. Minister: Is dr. Stewart still going to be a witness? Emily: I thought I'd be able to convince her, but I guess I -- my mother has never been there for me when I needed her the most. Minister: You have to have witnesses, Emily. Emily: I know. Henry, Henry. He'll do, won't me? Henry. Paul: I think we need two, dear. Maybe we need to wait a couple of days, and get things a little more organized. Emily: No! We're doing this now! Today! You, he can be the witness, right? Guard: I -- well, yes, I suppose. Emily: Great. Then let's get started. Susan: Emily, please, don't go through with this. What kind of life are you setting up for yourself? Emily: Mom, you can stay and support me, your daughter. Or you can get out now. Susan: I'm not going anywhere. Paul: So, you will be a witness? Hal: What the hell is going on in here? Emily: Did you call him? Hal: You are not serious about marrying these people. Emily: Stay out of this, Hal. It's got nothing to do with you.
Emily: This is all perfectly legal, Hal. You can't stop us from getting married. Hal: But I can throw every last one of you out and lock Paul up in solitary confinement if I want to. Emily: I have come to my senses. I love Paul. I know that is hard for you to accept. Hal: How can you love a murderer, Emily? Emily: I don't believe he murdered anyone. Hal: He confessed! Emily: A lot can come out between now and his trial. I have faith. Hal: Emily, if you know something that you're not telling me about Dusty's murder -- Emily: What I know is, I love Paul. And I believe he's innocent. I'm sorry. I know you hate this. Hal: No. What I hate is that you're willing to throw your life away on a man who doesn't deserve it. Emily: Well, I believe he does. Hal: Then don't let me stop you. Susan: Hal! Hal: I'm done protecting you, Emily. Go ahead. Throw it all away. Let your life go up in flames. I can handle it. Hell, I'll stand here and watch. What are you waiting for? You've got a wedding to perform!
Emily: There's so many sides to the people we love. And so many we could never really know them all. Or even see them all. But when you love someone you know is good and the bad in them, because it all adds up to the sum total who they are and that's the whole person. And the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. I love you. With all my heart. Even though you confuse me sometimes, you know? Sometimes I -- I think you're a little disturbed, but I love you. I love you like no one else ever could. Minister: Paul, is there something you'd like to say. Paul: Yeah, Emily, that's kind of a tough speech to follow, you know? Emily: It's okay. You don't have to say a thing. You've said it with the fact that we're here, and that you're marrying me. Paul: How about this? I promise I'll try not to screw up this time? How's that? Emily: Music to my ears. Minister: Well then, I guess we'll get straight to the point. Do you, Paul Ryan, take Emily Stewart as your lawful wife?
