Friday, September 4, 2009 Audrey has taken James' lawyer hostage to prevent him from delivering the new will for signature. The lawyer agrees to keep quiet about the kidnapping in exchange for $250,000. Audrey tells Henry he needs to kill his father before he can sign the new will, but Henry tells Audrey she'll have to do it herself. Later, Katie sees her at the hospital around the same time a lethal dose of medication goes missing. Katie and Vienna convince Henry he has to try to stop her, but will he be in time? Today’s episode was directed by Michael Eilbaum and written by Gordon Rayfield.
Transcripts from TVMegasite [Knock on door] [Audrey sighs] Henry: How is he doing? Audrey: I don't -- I don't really care. Henry: You fed him yet? Audrey: I tried, but he started screaming for help. Henry: Hey, are you hungry? If I take that tape off your mouth, will you promise to keep quiet? [Audrey sighs] Henry: That was the wrong answer. Audrey: I don't really think that his growling stomach is our big problem right now. [Cell phone ringing] Henry: That's not mine. Audrey: Not mine. Henry: That's -- that's great. [Audrey gasps] Henry: Somebody's missing him already. Audrey: Well -- see. See who it -- see who it is. Henry: You're right, Mother. We do have bigger things to worry about. Audrey: What? Who is it? Henry: It's James Stenbeck.
[Henry listens to Hansen’s voice mail] Hansen, where the hell are you? You have to sign that revised will. I mean, I have already to Paul he's my only heir and Henry Coleman gets nothing. Henry: Well, I guess he didn't reconsider. [Audrey sighs] Audrey: Did you really expect that he would? Henry: No, no. I guess not. Audrey: Are you ready to do what has to be done? Henry: Uh, if you are talking about what I think you are talking about, then you need to stop talking about that. Audrey: Well, it has to happen. Henry: No. What did I just say? Audrey: Look, if James doesn't die, then he's alive long enough to sign that new will! Henry: Enough, enough, enough. Audrey: Listen to m we need the money. We'll get the money when he's dead, and I can pay off Ray, and you will get millions! Henry: I -- I don't care about any that! Audrey: Yes, you do! Of course you do! You want millions and millions! Henry: No, I don't! I do not. I don’t care, okay? I may be a Stenbeck, but I am not a killer. Audrey: You can be. Henry: You're wrong. Audrey: Look, Henry, if you do not kill him, then you are killing both of us.
Henry: I'm getting really tired of drama, Mother -- really tired. Audrey: You know that if James finds out what we did, he will kill us both. Henry: Whose fault is that? [Audrey scoffs] Audrey: I don't really think it's time for the blame game here, do you? Henry: Yeah, I do, actually. Who's the one that kidnapped this guy in the first place? Audrey: Do you think I had a choice? He was writing James' new will. Now, look me in the eye and tell me you're willing to end up with absolutely nothing! Henry: Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, if we let him go, he is gonna go to the police, and then they will charge you with kidnapping no matter what we do to James. Audrey: Okay. Well, don't you think I thought of that? Mr. Hansen and I have a -- an understanding. Henry: What kind of understanding? Audrey: He is going to stay quiet about this little escapade. Henry: In exchange for what? Audrey: $250,000. Henry: Are you out of your mind, Mom? Are you out of your mind? Audrey: No, I think it's fair. It's fair, it's fair. Hey, it's fair. Henry: Where -- where are we supposed to come up with that kind of money? [Audrey gasps] Audrey: Are you out of your mind? That -- that is the whole point of this whole little -- adventure. Henry: So wait a second. Let me get this straight. I need to commit murder in order to avoid being charged for kidnapping? Audrey: Well, and to inherit a huge fortune. Henry: What makes you think we can trust Mr. Hansen? Audrey: Oh, boy. Okay, Mr. Hansen, please tell my skeptical son that you can be trusted. Hansen: Ow! Audrey: Oh. Okay, tell him. Hansen: For 250 grand, I wouldn't talk if you killed my father. Henry: Oh, my God. Audrey: Okay. Yes, yes. Here you go. You see what I'm talking about? That is what I love about lawyers. It's always just a simple question of price. All right. Henry, can we just get on with it? Can we just go ahead and kill James and get on with our lives? Henry: Mom, if you want him dead, you need to do it yourself. Audrey: No. Henry -- Henry: Enough. I don't want any part of this, and I don't want any part of you. Audrey: Henry!
Vienna: My God, where were you? We were so worried. Henry: Who's "We"? Vienna: Katie was just here on her way to the hospital. Henry: Is she okay? Vienna: Yes. It's just a regular checkup. Where were you? Henry: Uh, how's Katie feeling. Vienna: Henry, can you just answer me? Henry: You don't want to know. Vienna: Oh, my God. You were with Audrey, weren't you? Henry: I told you, you don't want to know. Vienna: Why do you even want to go near her? Henry: I -- I went and told her that I was done with her, okay? Vienna: Oh. God. About time. Henry: There's, uh, somewhat of a problem. Vienna: Oh, my God. I'm not surprised. Henry: Remember the lawyer I told you about? Vienna: What, the one who disappeared? Henry: He didn't exactly disappear. Vienna: Well, where did he go? Where is he? Henry: He's in Audrey's room, bound and gagged. Vienna: What? You were up there? Are you crazy? Henry: I was trying to reason with her, okay? Vienna: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And how did that go? Henry: It didn't go very well. But I told her I wanted nothing to do with what she's planning. Vienna: What is she planning? Henry: She wants to keep the lawyer from giving James his will so that my devoted father can't disown me before he dies. Vienna: No. You -- you have to tell the police. Henry: I can't do that. Vienna: This is your chance to get free of her. The police is gonna find them. They're gonna lock up Audrey. Henry: It's not that simple. Vienna: Why not? Henry: Because it's Audrey; it's Audrey. And she will find a way to blame me. She always does. Vienna: Well, not if you're telling the police first. Henry: I can't. Vienna: Why not? They'll find out when she lets the lawyer go. Henry: She -- she's kind of got that covered, baby. Vienna: How? Henry: The lawyer took a bribe. Vienna: Oh, my God. That'll go wrong. It always does. And you're gonna end up being blamed for it, just like you said. Now, do the right thing and call the police. Henry: I can't. Vienna: You got to do something. Henry: You're right. Sweetie, we've only got one choice. Vienna: Which is what? Henry: We run.
Vienna: There's got to be a way! Henry: There is, Sweetie. We get out of the country. Vienna: Oh, but Henry, we're happy here. Henry: We are happy, because we're together. But if we stay here, we may not be. And I can't take that chance. Vienna: Do we have to leave right away? Henry: Yeah, as soon as possible. Vienna: Well -- is there time to make one more happy memory? [Henry mumbles]
[Knock on door] [Vienna gasps] Vienna: It's your mother. Don't answer it. Don't answer. Katie: Henry, Vienna, are you guys in there? Vienna: One minute. Henry: Hey. Katie: I just saw your mother at the hospital. Henry: Uh, was she there for herself or for someone else? Katie: What do you mean? Henry: I mean -- I mean why was she there? Katie: She said that her stomach was bothering her. Henry: I know the feeling. Katie: But as soon as she left, I heard the nurses saying that there was a drug missing, something poisonous. Vienna: What? You think Audrey took it. Katie: I don't know. Vienna: But for what? Henry: Oh, my God. She's gonna do it. Vienna: Do what? Henry: She's gonna kill James Stenbeck.
Katie: You have to stop her! Henry: How? Katie: Call the police! Tell them there's a murder in progress. Henry: Wait a second. Wait a second. Let's -- let's not be hasty here. Vienna: Okay, Henry -- Henry: We need to think this through. Vienna: There's nothing to ink about! Henry: Wait. There is, now. Wait a second. Now, we all agree that Stenbeck should be dead. And if my mom kills him, then that's kind of a public service, isn't it? And then if she ends up in jail, isn't that better for everybody? Katie: That's murder. Henry: Well, as a true-blue Stenbeck, I say things happen.
Katie: You cannot let your mother kill your father, Henry. Henry: Too Shakespearean? Vienna: No, think about it. If you're sure that she'd frame you for kidnapping, don't you think she'll find a way to blame you for murder? Henry: Yes, of course -- she's my mother! [Henry sighs] Henry: There are other considerations. Vienna: Like what? The money? Henry: Yeah. Katie: Oh, Henry, no. Come on. I've known you a long time, and you've done some pretty low things, but that is despicable for even you. Henry: Okay. All right? You know, enough. I will, uh, try to stop her. Vienna: No, trying is not good enough. Henry: Well, I'm sorry. When Audrey makes up her mind to do something, trying is the best at anyone can do. |
