Emily: I will not let them take you away from me. I swear. I will find a way.

Henry: Thanks. Fresh sheet, ma'am.

Emily: Yeah. Like I'm gonna sleep.

Henry: It's okay. I don't change beds either.

Emily: Oh god, Henry. You're here. You're here.

Henry: Yeah I'm here. I'm here. I never miss pre-sentencing eve, you know. I thought we could discuss some strategy. Besides, I kind of figured you could use a friend tonight.

Emily: Yeah. I need a friend to help me get out of here. That's you.

 

Henry: No, no, no, no, no. Breaking in here? That's no problem. I do that daily. I get caught, it's a slap on the wrist and maybe they steal one of my disguises. Fine. Breaking you out, that is aiding and abetting, Emily. That is jail time.

Emily: No, don't you see, I don't have a choice, Henry. Once I'm in the system, I'm never gonna get out, they're gonna take away my child.

Henry: Wait -- who said you're going away like that? I thought Jennifer forgave you?

Emily: Well she did. But that doesn't help legally. I mean, she was never able to testify on my behalf.

Henry: I'm sure that somebody heard her, Emily.

Emily: No, no one that's gonna actually help me. You know, things were actually looking up before the service. I was able to go to the service because Hal -- he felt bad for me. He knew that's what Jennifer would have wanted.

Henry: Well, there you go, that's a good sign.

Emily: Yeah well that's what I thought, until I heard Paul. He stood up and told the entire world that he was gonna do everything in his power to take my child away from me.

Henry: Well, he can try --

Emily: No, Henry, he will succeed.

Henry: Maybe for now. Maybe for now -- but not forever, Emily. And maybe not even for very long.

Emily: I can't take that chance. I just -- I can't --

Henry: But you can run? That is a surefire way to get the judge to turn against you.

Emily: I won't get caught.

Henry: Oh baby, you know how many wings of the state pen are filled with people who said exactly the same thing?

Emily: Henry, I don't have a choice! I am thinking about my child. I will go as far away as I possibly can.

Henry: With what? With what, Emily? What are you gonna live on?

Emily: I don't know. I don't know, it doesn't matter, okay. This is not your problem. This is my problem. Okay. I have to think about my child, Henry. Please, help me get out of here, please!

 

Henry: Okay. Come on.

Emily: Okay. On three. Two, three --

[ Emily gasps ]

Henry: Shh!

Emily: Sorry. Okay. Okay, Henry, put me down.

Henry: Second row over -- second row over.

Emily: Thanks. Whoa, nice. Henry, nice.

Henry: It's a lea.

Emily: Okay, listen. Give me a couple days head start, okay? I'll ditch the car outside of Clayton. You raise holy hell, okay? Act like you usually do, okay? You'll get off the hook.

Henry: I know the drill. What is the plan after that.

Emily: The plan is -- I'm gonna raise my child.

Henry: There is no plan, is there?

Emily: Henry, the less you know, the better you're gonna be with the cops, okay?

Henry: So that's it? That's it? It's just bye, Susan, bye, Daniel?

Emily: No. No. No, no. Not forever. You know, once I get myself settled, and I know the baby's okay, and everyone's had time to adjust -- I'll contact my mother, okay? Who knows, maybe Daniel can even meet his little brother or sister. I don't know. I mean, stranger things have happened, right?

Henry: Oh yeah, sure, sure.

Emily: Okay.

Henry: Here.

Emily: Huh? What's that?

Henry: Would you just open it? Just open it -- open it.

Emily: Henry -- Henry!

Henry: Nobody's baby came in at 18-1. I picked her in your honor, so -- who know?

[ Henry laughs ]

Emily: Thank you.

Henry: Now, you take care of yourself. And would you please -- would you promise me this is the stupidest thing you're gonna do for a very long time?

[ Emily laughs ]

Emily: Yeah, I promise. Thank you, Henry. Thank you. [ Emily gasps ] Oh, god!

 

Susan: If you leave now, I won't tell the hospital that you're impersonating staff members.

Henry: I did have a meeting --

Susan: It's okay, go.

Henry: And you'll be here, I take it?

Emily: Well, you know, that depends --

Susan: Yes!

Henry: Okay -- I'll catch up with you.

Susan: Do you know how lucky you are? You could be in jail somewhere. Or worse, in some prison mental ward. Honey, why would you risk any chance you have --

Emily: Any chance I had died when Jennifer died. I'm telling you, she's the only one who understood that I deserve to raise my own child.

Susan: Oh, Emily, Emily -- so you'd become a fugitive? That was your great plan? Except they'd come after you! And what if some overzealous cop found you first? I let you run once, and look what happened. Oh, no, no, no. No, not again. If you leave this time, you've got to go through me.

Emily: No, god, mom, please -- please.

Susan: I mean it!

Emily: Mom, if I stay, you know what happens to me, and to your grandchild.

Susan: At least you would both be alive. And to me, this week, that sounds like a win. Now, come on. We've got to get you upstairs before that guard finds out you were gone. Come on!
