On today's show Barbara shows up at the police station with her pal Evelyn the D.A.  Barbara has told Evelyn about her star eye-witness, Henry.  Evelyn encourages Jack to bring Henry in for questioning and offer him a deal if he names his co-conspirators.  After she leaves Jack and Hal discuss how it would make their lives easier if something happened to Henry so that couldn't come in for questioning.

Jack visits Katie at the hospital where she's working.  He tells he has a message for her roommate; he went by the cottage but no one was there.  "Oh no.  What did he do now?" asks Katie.  "Actually, on second thought, I don't want to know.  Just -- I don't know -- should I tell him to go down to the station if I see him?"  Jack says no, just tell him that the cops are after him.  Katie asks if Henry is in trouble.  "'Big time," says Jack, "And if I were Henry Coleman, I'd get the hell out of Dodge, pronto.  Mention that to him, too.  See ya."  Katie picks up the phone and calls Henry.

Henry shows up at the hospital and runs into the room where Katie is making the bed, closing the door behind him.  "Let me get this straight.  Detective Jack Snyder is now advising that I leave town?" he asks.  "Yes, in a roundabout, backward way," answers Katie.  Henry moans that this is not good, and Katie asks him what kind of trouble he's in.  "You don't want to know.  All right, I'm outta here, and you never saw me."  Henry opens the door and takes a few steps out when he sees a cop in the hall.  He quickly turns around and goes back in the room.  "This place is crawling with cops already.  You need to help me, Katie," he begs.  "I'm sorry, I am broke, Henry," says Katie.  "I know that.  I don't want your money.  I need your help.  I need you to get me out of here," explains Henry.  Katie says it would be her pleasure, and leaves to make plans for Henry's escape.

Later, Katie comes out of the room followed by Henry, dressed head to toe in hospital gear, including a gown, mask, hat and gloves, and clutching a plastic bag (with his clothes in it?).  "How do I look?" he asks.  "Not even your mother would recognize you," says Katie.  She wishes him luck and walks away.  Henry calls after her, then walks away in the other direction, swinging his arm nonchalantly and trying to look inconspicuous.

Transcripts from TVMegaSite

Barbara: If you'll read over the list, you will see Carly Tenney Snyder, Emily Stewart, Rose D'Angelo, Craig Montgomery -- it's obvious why Detective Snyder is dragging his feet. This isn't just a list of the suspects in my kidnapping case, it's a list of his closest friends and relatives.

Evelyn: Well, perhaps detective Snyder has too much of a conflict of interest to lead a thorough and an objective investigation of this kidnapping.

Barbara: Which is why I'm asking you to reassign the case.

Evelyn: Maybe what I should do is have it investigated by a completely different department.

Jack: Internal affairs? You're talking about getting IAB in on this? Well, you go right ahead, Evelyn. But until then, I'm handling this case.

Barbara: You are not handling this case --

Jack: Stop telling me how to do my job!

Barbara: Somebody has to, jack.

Evelyn: Look, bring in Henry Coleman. Tell him we'll cut him a deal if he names names. Then put an APB out on Craig Montgomery. And I want you to bring in for questioning Rose D'Angelo, Carly Tenney Snyder, and Emily Stewart. Today, detective. I'll be waiting.

Barbara: So will I.

 

Jack: Hey. We gotta problem. Barbara doesn't like the way I'm handling her kidnapping investigation.

Hal: Oh, boy.

Jack: Yeah, so she's gone straight over our heads to the D.A. Now Evelyn's making noise about reassignment if I don't go after Henry Coleman like a rabid dog. Even talking about cutting him a deal if he gives up names like Emily, Rose and Craig.

Hal: Just when we thought things were gonna blow over.

Jack: I could wring Coleman's neck for opening his mouth. A confession? To Barbara? Now they can get Carly for conspiracy after the fact, Hal.

Hal: We're in this way too deep to let Henry Coleman bring this down.

Jack: Oh, right. So what do we do now?

Hal: Simple. [ Hal sighs ] we do our jobs. We have to protect the women in our lives.

Jack: We can't lose control of this investigation.

Hal: You know, it sounds to me that without a statement from Henry Coleman, there really is no investigation. Just speculation.

Jack: Right. Things happen all the time. It's unavoidable.

Hal: Part of life.

Jack: For instance, I can think of a half dozen reasons why Henry would never come down here to give us a statement.

Hal: Well, whatever happens to that guy, I sure hope it happens fast.

Jack: I'll check you later.

 

Jack: Hey, Katie.

Katie: Jack. Hey, what's up?

Jack: I got a message for your roommate.

Katie: For Henry?

Jack: Yeah, I went by the cottage and nobody was there.

Katie: Oh no. What did he do now? Actually, on second thought, I don't want to know. Just -- I don't know -- should I tell him to go down to the station if I see him?

Jack: No. Don't do that. But you might mention to him that the cops are after him.

Katie: Is he in trouble, Jack?

Jack: Big time. And if I were Henry Coleman, I'd get the hell out of dodge, pronto. Mention that to him, too. See ya.

 

Henry: Let me get this straight. Detective Jack Snyder is now advising that I leave town?

Katie: Yes, in a roundabout, backward way.

Henry: This is not good. This is not good.

Katie: What kind of trouble are you in, Henry?

Henry: You don't want to know. All right, I'm outta here, and you never saw me. [ Door closes ] here, some here. This place is crawling with cops already. You need to help me, Katie.

Katie: I'm sorry, I am broke, Henry.

Henry: I know that. I don't want your money. I need your help. I need you to get me out of here.

Katie: Oh. My pleasure. Wait here.

 

Henry: How do I look?

Katie: Not even your mother would recognize you.

Henry: Right.

Katie: Good luck.

Henry: Katie, Katie, Katie --
