Tuesday, May 18, 2004 Henry has snuck out of the mental hospital and into the Oakdale jail, while Katie is left to defend him. "Dr. Tanner called the police on Henry? Isn't that a little extreme?" Katie asks the nurse. "The man left a psychiatric hospital without being released, and he stole my employee I.D. To do so. Dr. Tanner was obligated to file a police report," she says. "Yeah, but Henry could be on the grounds right now. I mean, he loves the outdoors. He could be sitting under a tree communing with nature! Isn't it a little early to sic the dogs on him?!" says Katie. Nurse Showcroft tells Katie she seems agitated, does she need her medication adjusted? "No, no, no! I'm cool. I'm mellow. I'm sure wherever Henry is, he's doing just fine," she says. The nurse leaves and Katie talks to a little boy named Dylan and his mom who's visiting. The mom thanks Katie for being so nice to her son and Katie asks her for a favor - her cell phone. The mom says she'd like to help but they took her cell phone away at the door. Dr. Tanner has showed up at the OPD, unaware that the man he's looking for is in the interrogation room. "Doctor, this guy who escaped - is he dangerous?" asks the cop. "How can one tell? He's only been a patient for a short while. I do know one thing - Henry is seriously delusional," says the doctor. Meanwhile, inside the interrogation room, Russ asks Henry why he's pretending to be a lawyer. Henry says he is a lawyer, a good one. "Yeah, well, if you're so good, why were you hanging out with that crazy blonde who came after me with a baseball bat, huh? I'm calling a cop!" he says. "Don't be so hasty, Russ. May I call you Russ?" asks Henry politely. Russ asks him what he wants, and Henry says he just thought Russ could use a visitor. Russ refuses to talk to him. "Do you have a clue? Here you are, locked up, looking at years of jail time for assault charges. Aren't you just a little bit curious? Don't you want an update on what's going on in the outside world? Maybe what your friend Pilar has been up to?" Henry tempts him. Back at the hospital, Katie asks Dylan's mom to call her "brother" Henry at the police station and tell him she needs him desperately. She agrees to do so as soon as she leaves the hospital. "Okay. Thank you so much. Oh, Henry, please don't get caught," mutters Katie. Back at the station, the cop asks the doctor for a description of the missing patient. "He's tall - I think. Hair color? Hmm - well, I wouldn't call it brown. But then, I wouldn't call it blonde, either," he says uncertainly. Henry continues to question Russ. "You know, I've been locked up recently. All alone, looking at those four concrete walls with 'I love Mona' written on them. And you start to wonder -- who is Mona? Where can I get her number? What do you dream about, Russ?" he asks. Russ still refuses to talk. "Why? Because Pilar is looking out for you?" asks Henry. "Why would she? She's my ex. We hate each other," Russ lies. "Right. That's right. Now, you attacked her, and that's why you got arrested," Henry plays along. "Oh, come on. Come on, Russ. We all know the attack was a fake, and that you and Pilar were working some kind of scam," says Henry. "How did she pitch this to you? I'm really curious. Was it something like -- 'oh, Russie-pooh, you know, don't worry. It will all be swell. You're just gonna spend a few days in a cage, until the D.A. And Mike and the cops all believe that I'm in mortal fear for my life.' Is that how she played it for you?" asks Henry. Russ insists he's going to be out soon, and Henry asks just when that will be. Russ says it's none of his business. "Oh, come on, man. You have priors. You have parole violations. You're looking at what? I don't - 15, 20 years?" says Henry. "I'm not going down. She promised! I mean, my lawyer promised," he corrects himself. "Oh, man, you have been had, buddy boy. You have been had. While you're in here eating gruel and sharing showers with Bruno and Burto and Boris, that one, she is out there sharing showers with someone else. Hmm, Mr. Kasnoff?" Henry taunts. "So - so what?" he says, pretending not to care. "Oh, oh - so you really - you really do have something for her. That's so sweet. You know, I think we should sit down here, buddy boy. Because, it only gets worse," says Henry, putting his arm around Russ. "You know, it's happened to the best of us. Even me, you know? You meet a beautiful girl, you fall hard. And then she takes you to some one-horse town, and then she hooks up with some other honey and the next thing you know, you're looking at 25 years to life," says Henry. Russ still insists he's getting out. "Why would Pilar let you do that and mess up her game? You get sent up, Kasnoff never learns the truth. And there's no upside to her for you getting out of here," says Henry. "But, I'm innocent! I didn't attack her. Oh, my god. It's not supposed to go down like this," he says with his head in his hands. "I know, I know. I know. So let's just put on the brakes," says Henry sympathetically. Russ asks Henry what he's offering. "You tell me what I need to know. You tell me what Pilar is working out with Mike, I'll post your bail," he says, promising to have it done "within the hour. Or you could stay here, waiting for Pilar like you've been doing. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting, until that big yellow bus from the Statesville prison comes by and just takes you away." "That shows what you know. I'm not even goin' to trial!" boasts Russ. "Says Pilar, huh? Yeah, well - let me tell you something, kemo-sabe. You know, the rumor is around town, that she and Kasnoff are making off for the Caribbean. Yeah. You know, there might even be like a tropical wedding in the future. I think they're gonna leave this town, and you, and never look back for one moment," lies Henry. "Buddy, bottom line is, I am here. Pilar is not. Just tell me what I want to know, and you know what? By tonight, you could drinking some beers. Maybe even enjoying some female companionship. But if you count on Pilar - I'm telling you..." warns Henry. A cop interrupts them and tell Henry there's message for him - "Your sister Katie needs to see you right away." "Russ, it's been real, buddy. But I have got to go," says Henry, ready to jump at Katie's call. Russ still wants to talk about the deal. "Call detective Margo Hughes. Tell her the truth, and tell her that I said I would post your bail. And just trust me on this, okay? It will work out fine," says Henry. He walks out of the room and sees his doctor talking to the cops. He hides behind a file and sneaks out. Back at the hospital, Katie finds Henry in the hall. "Boy, did I miss this place. I never thought I'd say that," he says facetiously. "You need to get out of these clothes now. They know that we stole the I.D. They've been looking all over for you. Dr. Tanner even went to the police," says Katie frantically. Henry tells her not to worry about it, he dodged the good doctor at the station. Katie tells him to change before someone sees him. Henry asks her if she wants to hear about Russ. "You spoke to him? What did he say about Pilar? Never mind! Just get out of these clothes! Hurry, get rid of them!" she says. But she's too late, the guards approach. "Okay. Whoa, easy, easy, easy! Hey, don't sully the whites here! Um, listen - whoa, wait a second! I am a physician, okay, with degrees from Harvard, Yale and Johns Hopkins, and I will not be treated in this manner!" protests Henry. "Henry, you've been misbehaving," scolds Dr. Tanner. "You defaced my badge!" says the nurse when she sees her I.D. "Well, yeah. It didn't - it didn't really do you justice, that picture. I'm sorry. You know, the photographic technique was just awful. It was horrible. But you know what? Thanks for the loan. I had a wonderful walk around the grounds. I feel very invigorated. I want to take a little swim now, I think. Toodles," he says, making for the door. The guards catch him and the doctor tells him he needs to be punished. "You know, tough love is overrated," says Henry. Dr. Tanner tells the guards to take him to the "Alone Room." "No, not solitary. Not - I'm a people person, guys," protests Henry. "You'll have all privileges suspended until you get with the program," orders the doctor. "Can't we talk about this?! I make a mean martini! Can we do dinner?" pleads Henry. The guards take Henry away and the doctor turns to Katie. He threatens her with criminal charges if she doesn't tell him what she and Henry were up to. "There's really nothing to tell, doctor. I'm kind of tired. Can I go back to my room?" asks Katie. "Very well. I'll have a little chat with your personal therapist. You can trust that we'll be discussing this matter again. In the meantime, you are to have absolutely no contact with your friend, Henry. Understood?" he orders. He leaves and the nurse orders Katie back to her room. Today’s episode was directed by Chris Goutman and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Katie: Dr. Tanner called the police on Henry? Isn't that a little extreme? Nurse Showcroft: The man left a psychiatric hospital without being released, and he stole my employee I.D. To do so. Dr. Tanner was obligated to file a police report. Katie: Yeah, but Henry could be on the grounds right now. I mean, he loves the outdoors. He could be sitting under a tree communing with nature! Isn't it a little early to sic the dogs on him?! Nurse Showcroft: Ms. Frasier, you seem a bit agitated,. Would you like me to speak to the doctor about adjusting your medication? Katie: No, no, no! I'm cool. I'm mellow. I'm sure wherever Henry is, he's doing just fine. Hi, Dylan. Dylan: Hi, Katie! This is my mom. Katie: Hi. Mother: You must be special to rate that smile. Katie: Oh well, Dylan and I are pals. Right, buddy? He's very good at drawing birds -- he loves it. He even made me one to go in my room. Dylan: Katie's nice to me. Mother: Thank you. Katie: Oh, it's easy. Dylan's very cool. Listen, I was wondering -- could I borrow your cell phone? My brother, Henry, was visiting earlier. And we got in a fight. And, well, it's his birthday. So, I feel really bad. Mother: Oh, that's terrible. Katie: So, can I use your phone? Mother: I would -- but they confiscated it at the door.
Cop: Doctor, this guy who escaped -- is he dangerous? Doctor: How can one tell? He's only been a patient for a short while. I do know one thing -- Henry is seriously delusional.
Russ: Why are you pretending to be a lawyer? Henry: I am a lawyer. And a very good one, if I do say so myself. Russ: Yeah, well, if you're so good, why were you hanging out with that crazy blonde who came after me with a baseball bat, huh? I'm calling a cop! Henry: Don't be so hasty, Russ. May I call you Russ? Russ: What do you want? Henry: Well, I just thought you could use a visitor, a pal. Russ: I don't have to talk to you. I've got rights! Henry: Do you have a clue? Here you are, locked up, looking at years of jail time for assault charges. Aren't you just a little bit curious? Don't you want an update on what's going on in the outside world? Maybe what your friend Pilar has been up to?
Mother: I wish I could help you. I could ask the nurse to let you use their phone. Katie: Oh, no, I already tried that. Nurse Showcroft doesn't really like me very much. Mother: She's kind of bristly. Dylan doesn't like her at all. Katie: Maybe there's another way. Hey, Dylan, can I borrow a piece of paper and a crayon? Dylan: Sure. Katie: Thank you. Maybe when you leave, you could give my brother Henry a call? Mother: Sure. Katie: Oh, great. Thank you so much. And don't be worried when they answer the phone. He's at the Oakdale police department. Mother: The police department? Why? Katie: He's -- interrogating a witness about a crime. So, just let them know to tell Henry that -- Henry Coleman -- that his sister Katie needs him desperately. He needs to come here. Mother: I'll call as soon as I leave. Katie: Okay. Thank you so much. Oh, Henry, please don't get caught.
Dr. Tanner: His name is Henry Coleman. Cop: Description? Dr. Tanner: He's tall -- I think.
Henry: You know, I've been locked up recently. All alone, looking at those four concrete walls with "I love Mona" written on them. And you start to wonder -- who is Mona? Where can I get her number? What do you dream about, Russ? Russ: I got nothing to say to you. Henry: Why? Because Pilar is looking out for you? Russ: Why would she? She's my ex. We hate each other. Henry: Right. That's right. Now, you attacked her, and that's why you got arrested. Russ: Right. Henry: Oh, come on. Come on, Russ. We all know the attack was a fake, and that you and Pilar were working some kind of scam. Russ: You don't know anything. Henry: Yeah? Oh, really? How did she pitch this to you? I'm really curious. Was it something like -- "oh, Russie-pooh, you know, don't worry. It will all be swell. You're just gonna spend a few days in a cage, until the D.A. And Mike and the cops all believe that I'm in mortal fear for my life." Is that how she played it for you? Russ: I'm going to be out of here real soon. Henry: Yeah, right. Hey, a few days have turned into weeks, Russ. When is she going to get you out? Russ: This is none of your business. Henry: Oh, come on, man. You have priors. You have parole violations. You're looking at what? I don't -- 15, 20 years? Russ: I'm not going down. She promised! I mean, my lawyer promised. Henry: Oh, man, you have been had, buddy boy. You have been had. While you're in here eating gruel and sharing showers with Bruno and Burto and Boris, that one, she is out there sharing showers with someone else. Hmm, Mr. Kasnoff? Russ: So -- so what? Henry: Oh, oh -- so you really -- you really do have something for her. That's so sweet. You know, I think we should sit down here, buddy boy. Because, it only gets worse.
Henry: You know, it's happened to the best of us. Even me, you know? You meet a beautiful girl, you fall hard. And then she takes you to some one-horse town, and then she hooks up with some other honey and the next thing you know, you're looking at 25 years to life. Russ: I'm beating this rap! Henry: Why would Pilar let you do that and mess up her game? You get sent up, Kasnoff never learns the truth. And there's no upside to her for you getting out of here. Russ: But, I'm innocent! I didn't attack her. Oh, my god. It's not supposed to go down like this. Henry: I know, I know. I know. So let's just put on the brakes. Russ: All right, what are you offering? Henry: You tell me what I need to know. You tell me what Pilar is working out with Mike, I'll post your bail. Russ: Today? Henry: Within the hour. Or you could stay here, waiting for Pilar like you've been doing. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting, until that big yellow bus from the Statesville prison comes by and just takes you away. Russ: That shows what you know. I'm not even goin' to trial! Henry: Says Pilar, huh? Yeah, well -- let me tell you something, kemo-sabe. You know, the rumor is around town, that she and Kasnoff are making off for the Caribbean. Yeah. You know, there might even be like a tropical wedding in the future. I think they're gonna leave this town, and you, and never look back for one moment.
Dr. Tanner: Hair color? Hmm -- well, I wouldn't call it brown. But then, I wouldn't call it blonde, either. [ Phone rings ] Cop #1: Oakdale P.D. Mother: Hello. I have an urgent message from a girl named Katie. It's for her brother. Cop #1: What's the brother's name? Mother: Henry Coleman.
Henry: Buddy, bottom line is, I am here. Pilar is not. Just tell me what I want to know, and you know what? By tonight, you could drinking some beers. Maybe even enjoying some female companionship. But if you count on Pilar -- I'm telling you -- Cop #1: You Henry Coleman? Henry: Yes. Cop #1: Someone called here with a message for you. Henry: What message? Cop #1: Your sister Katie needs to see you right away.
Henry: Russ, it's been real, buddy. But I have got to go. Russ: No, no, no. But what about our deal? Henry: Call detective Margo Hughes. Tell her the truth, and tell her that I said I would post your bail. And just trust me on this, okay? It will work out fine. Cop: Don't worry, Dr. Tanner. We'll find this guy. Dr. Tanner: I'd start by contacting anybody involved in the Katie Frasier case.
Katie: Henry, what are you doing?! Henry: Boy, did I miss this place. I never thought I'd say that. Katie: You need to get out of these clothes now. They know that we stole the I.D. They've been looking all over for you. Dr. Tanner even went to the police. Henry: I know. I dodged him. Don't worry about it. I even got past the front desk, so we're home free. Katie: Okay, still, well, just get rid of these clothes now. Henry: Okay. Don't you want to hear about Russ? Katie: You spoke to him? What did he say about Pilar? Never mind! Just get out of these clothes! Hurry, get rid of them! Henry: Okay. Whoa, easy, easy, easy! Hey, don't sully the whites here! Um, listen -- whoa, wait a second! I am a physician, okay, with degrees from Harvard, Yale and Johns Hopkins, and I will not be treated in this manner! Dr. Tanner: Henry, you've been misbehaving. Nurse Showcroft: You defaced my badge! Henry: Well, yeah. It didn't -- it didn't really do you justice, that picture. I'm sorry. You know, the photographic technique was just awful. It was horrible. But you know what? Thanks for the loan. I had a wonderful walk around the grounds. I feel very invigorated. I want to take a little swim now, I think. Toodles. Dr. Tanner: You've caused us a great deal of trouble, Henry. You'll have to be punished. Henry: You know, tough love is overrated. Dr. Tanner: Guards, take him to the alone room. Henry: No, not solitary. Not -- I'm a people person, guys. Dr. Tanner: You'll have all privileges suspended until you get with the program. Henry: Can't we talk about this?! I make a mean martini! Can we do dinner? Dr. Tanner: And now you, Ms. Frasier. Katie: Yes, doctor? Dr. Tanner: Complicity in another patient's escape is a very serious matter. Katie: Yes, doctor. Dr. Tanner: I'd hate to report this to the court, opening you up to criminal charges. I'd prefer to settle this between us. Katie: Sure. Me, too. Dr. Tanner: So tell me, did Mr. Coleman succeed? Katie: At what? Dr. Tanner: Whatever you two were hoping to accomplish with his escape.
Dr. Tanner: You can do yourself a lot of good by cooperating. Katie: There's really nothing to tell, doctor. I'm kind of tired. Can I go back to my room? Dr. Tanner: Very well. I'll have a little chat with your personal therapist. You can trust that we'll be discussing this matter again. In the meantime, you are to have absolutely no contact with your friend, Henry. Understood? Katie: Nurse Showcroft? Nurse Showcroft: It's time to go back to your room. Katie: How's Henry? Is he okay? Nurse Showcroft: If you truly cared about him, you should have told us where he was. Actions have consequences, Ms. Frasier. Now, do I need to call the security guards back to take you to your room?
