Rose has just heard that her father is missing, and that Henry
is behind it. She confronts him at the police station and asks him where
her Pop is. Henry tells him that Joe is fine and will be let go when Rose
bails him out of jail and gives him the provenance. Cooley is running the
show now so she better cooperate. Rose wants to call Paul, but Henry tells
her not to, her father's life depends on it. He tells her they need to
take a trip to Mexico, but doesn't want to leave Paul. "Paul's
feelings or Joe's head, one or the other is going to get crushed," warns
Henry. Rose asks if this Cooley person is a killer, and Henry says that he
may turn into one. Rose can't believe that Henry would threaten her father
over a lousy diamond. Henry tells her that all of this is
unnecessary. If she would just give him what he wants, she would get her
Pop back, he and Cooley would get the thugs off their backs, and she would be
happily baking cookies as Mrs. Paul Ryan. Margo walks in and asks if
she's decided what she'd like to do. Rose tells her to get the key, she's
bailing Henry out of jail.
Margo instructs a cop to take Henry out of the room while she
questions . She can't believe is going to bail Henry out. Rose says he's harmless, she told him she didn't have the provenance so now
he'll leave her alone. is happy and wants this to be over.
Margo is not buying it, and tells her she doesn't need to do this on her
own. But cannot be talked out of it. She calls Mitzi and tells
her to take a double dose of cough medicine and meet her at Java.
After and Henry leave the police station, Paul and Lucinda
show up looking for . Margo tells them that she bailed Henry out of
jail and left with him.
Henry and walk into Java, Henry exclaiming that he's
"free at last." But now that they have the provenance, why do
they need to trust their safety to some former casino hostess? Mitzi walks
in, sees Henry, and says, "Hey, shouldn't you be under a rock or in the
pokey?" "The mouths on you Jersey girls!" teases
Henry. Rose pulls Mitzi away and tells her that she needs her to do
something, and it's the most important thing she's ever asked her. She
wants her to give Paul a note. Mitzi reads the note and says, "No
way. If you're gonna break Paul's heart, you can do it
yourself." Rose tells her it's complicated, it's for Paul's own
good. She'll be back in a day or two. Henry butts in and promises to
have her back before anyone misses her. Rose assures Mitzi that she'll
explain everything to Paul when she gets back, and at least he'll know she's
doing it for her Pop. Mitzi is not asking her to choose between Paul and
her Pop, she's just suggesting that start trusting the man she's going to
spend the rest of her life with. She asks her to think about it a little,
how about they call Jack? Rose says this is too important. Mitzi
tries to convince Rose that Henry is just after her diamond, and this is her
chance to hold on to love. Mitzi's cell phone rings and she holds it out
to , knowing it's Paul. Rose talks to him, and he asks her if she
needs her help.

[ Oakdale Police Station - Squad
Room ]
>> Rose: No more double-talk from you. I want to know what happened to my
pop.
>> Henry: Look, he's probably fine. 
>> Rose: Probably?
>> Henry: It's the best I can do under the given circumstances, all right?
But I can tell you that without the provenance for that diamond --
>> Rose: My pop is missing. You think I give a rat's behind whether I
prove to you whether that diamond is real or not? I care about my pop, and that
is it.
>> Henry: Then you'll give me the letter about the stone. Because, without
it, you're pop's a goner.
>> Rose: What's stopping me from gettin' Margo here, you know? She could
beat the truth out of you. She'd like that.
>> Henry: Rose, listen, I am not your problem, okay? My partner, Cooley,
he's running the whole show now, all right? Now, bail me out of here, I'll take
you right to him. Otherwise -- who are you calling? 
>> Rose: I'm calling my fiancé.
>> Henry: No, no, no, Rose. Rose, you don't want to do that, okay? You
can't let Paul Ryan know, not Lucinda Walsh, nobody. Trust me. Your father's
life depends on it.
>> Rose: Proof -- I said proof.
>> Henry: And you'll get it. You'll get it once I'm sprung, okay? But we
have to take a little flight to Mexico.
>> Rose: What? Fly to Mexico? No way. I'm not goin' anywhere with you.
Absolutely not. And leave my fiancé here without a word? Abso -- I will not,
cannot do that.
>> Henry: Rose -- Rose, it's either Paul's feelings or Joe's head. One or
the other's gonna get crushed.
>> Rose: So what are you saying, that these -- this partner -- what's his
name -- Cooley's a killer or something? 
>> Henry: Well, out of convenience, he might turn into one.
>> Rose: Don't do this. Don't bluff with my pop's life. I swear, if you do
anything to him, you will never get your hands on that diamond. You got it?
>> Henry: No, this is so unnecessary. Listen, just bail me out of here,
give me the letter you got from your grandma that proves that the rock is really
the Rose of Sharon diamond. Then you get your dad back, Cooley and I get some
thugs off our tail, and the next thing you know you're baking cookies as Mrs.
Paul Ryan, okay? He's very wealthy, you know. And I'm sure that Lucinda's paying
you all that money over at the Double W, so what have you got to lose?
>> Rose: You'd hurt my pop over a hunk of glass? My god, I'd like to tear
you into a million pieces, you scum.
>> Margo: So, Rose, you've had a few minutes to talk now. What's the
verdict?
>> Rose: Get the key, Margo. I need to bail this loser out.
>> Margo: Why don't you take him outside while I figure out what's going
on here? What is going on here? You're gonna bail him out? Are you nuts?
>> Rose: Henry? Harmless. He doesn't mean any harm at all.
>> Margo: Look, when I walked in here, you were ready to tear him apart.
The man vandalized your home. He broke into your offices at Worldwide.
>> Rose: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he was looking for that provenance for
the diamond. 
Once I told him it didn't
exist, I figured that mush brain over there is gonna leave us alone, all of us.
>> Margo: Oh, Rose, you're gonna bail him out?
>> Rose: You see, I just got engaged, okay? And I'm happy, and there's a
lot of joy goin' around here. I figure, what's the big deal? Let's just get it
over with. It's done.
>> Margo: All right, don't think I'm buying this for one minute -- not one
minute, Rose. I mean, come on, you think that you're gonna off and fix this all
on your own? Haven't you learned by now that that doesn't -- all right. All
right, there's a lot of people who love you. You don't have to do this.
>> Rose: I know. It's just --
>> Margo: Okay. I'll process Henry. You've always got my line open, you
know that.
>> Rose: Thank you. [ on the phone ] Mitzi, it's me. Look, take a double
dose of cough medicine and meet me over at Java. I need your help.
[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Henry: Rose, it's great to be free at last. But I gotta tell you, this
is a lousy idea. We already have the provenance. Why do we need to trust our
safety to some former casino hostess? 
>> Rose: Better her than you.
>> Henry: Listen, Rose, I gotta tell you --
>>Rose: And sit down.
>> Mitzi: If I had known I was gonna end up at Java, I would have come to
the party anyway. Hey, shouldn't you be under a rock or in the poky?
>> Henry: The mouths on you Jersey girls. Mm.
>> Mitzi: So, what's the story, Rose? On the phone you sounded like the
building was on fire, and then you show up with this one.
>> Rose: I'll explain, okay? But you have to do something for me. And I
never ever asked you to do anything more important than this.
>> Mitzi: Rose, you're scaring me.
>> Rose: This note, you gotta -- you give it to Paul, and you tell him I'm
sorry.
>> Mitzi: No way. If you're gonna break Paul's heart, you can do it
yourself.
[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Rose: Look, it's very complicated. I'll explain everything later. Just,
please, would you just deliver this note, please?
>> Mitzi: Rose, you can't take off again, leave Paul in the lurch. He was
worried sick for months when you --
>> Rose: Don't you think I know how this is going to affect Paul? 
>> Mitzi: Let me guess -- it's for his own good. Listen, you can't run
that kind of garbage on me, Rose.
>> Rose: What are you thinking about? The spa? No, see, the spa was
different because I got plucked out of here out of the blue, and nobody knew
where I was or when I was coming back. This is gonna take a day or two.
>> Henry: I guarantee you she'll be back before anybody misses her.
>> Mitzi: People are missing her already.
>> Henry: Oh, well, then we better shake a leg, hey, Rose, huh, before the
posse gets here?
>> Rose: I'll come back. I'll explain everything, okay, to Paul, and then
I'll get the cops involved. Just give that to him. At least he'll know that I'm
doing this out of love for my pop.
>> Mitzi: I'm not asking you to choose between Paul and your pop, but just
think. Maybe Paul can help you, you know? This is the man you're gonna trust for
the rest of your life. Why not start now?
[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Mitzi: Please, think this through, Rose. Hey, let me call Jack. 
>> Rose: Do you have any idea what's at stake here?
>> Mitzi: It's because I do that I'm worried sicker than I was before you
called.
>> Rose: Look, you just gotta trust me on this, please.
>> Mitzi: I do. That Coleman creep wants your diamond. And he wants you to
get on a plane and fly to who knows where with who knows who. [ Cell phone rings
] and I'm not letting you do it, Rose.
>> Rose: Don't -- don't answer that!
>> Mitzi: Listen --
>> Rose: Please don't answer that.
>> Mitzi: We both know who this is, okay? This is the chance to hold on to
the love in your life and trust it. You're not alone anymore, Rose. You're not.
>> Paul: [ on the phone ] Mitzi? Mitzi, it's Paul. 
>> Mitzi: [ holds the phone out for Rose ] Answer him.
>> Paul: Mitzi, if you know anything about Rose, anything at all, just --
>> Mitzi: Hello?
>> Paul: Mitzi, thank God.
>> Mitzi: Hold on a sec, Paul.
>> Paul: Mitzi, I'm losing my mind over here.
You've gotta tell me if you know where I can find Rose.
>> Rose: Paul?
>> Paul: Rose? Baby, are you okay? Look, I don't know what's going on, or
if you can even talk to me right now, but just all you have to do is say yes or
no. Do you need my help?
