Monday, December 21, 2009 Henry helps Brad and Katie talk to each other. She asks him to let her go, but he's not ready yet. Henry doesn't want to help her prolong her misery anymore, so Katie decides to find another way to contact Brad. Today’s episode was directed by Jennifer Pepperman and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Katie: Is Brad here or not? Brad: She looks mad. Maybe you shouldn't tell her. Henry: He's here. Katie: Where? Henry: He's right beside you. Katie: Brad? Brad: Yeah? Henry: He hears you. Go ahead. Katie: I want you to know that I love you. Brad: That I knew. Katie: And I want you to do something for me. Brad: Whatever you want. Katie: I want you to go, to move on or cross over. Brad: What? No. You don't mean that. Katie: I want to move on with my life, and I can't do that with you here. Brad: Yes, you can. Katie: I want to get on with my life, and I can't do that with a ghost, so please just go and leave me alone! [ Door slams ] Brad did that. Henry: He wants you to stay.
Katie: When he shut that door, it was so him. It's like I could almost see him standing right in front of me with that goofy grin. Brad: Did you hear that? She wants me. Henry: Whatever you decide, it's okay. Brad just needs to know, what do you want him to do? Katie: Well, if the real flesh and blood Brad walked through that door, I would grab him and never let him go, but a ghost -- I can't touch that. I can't love it. I don't want that. Henry: You got your answer. Brad: I need to talk to her, okay. Can you help me? Can you help me? Henry: He wants to say goodbye, and I'll tell you what he says. Katie: All right. Brad: I love you. Henry: He loves you. Brad: And since you love me, too, will you just give me this one chance to say what I have been waiting to say, and then, if you want, I will leave you alone forever. Henry: He's pleading his case to convince you to let him stick around and keep butting in to your life. Katie: Just let me hear what he has to say. Henry: Okay. After this, if she still wants you to go? Brad: I'm gone, forever. Henry: If you hear him out, he'll go if you want. Katie: Okay. Brad: Remember how when we first met, we hated each other? Henry: Remember how when you first met, you hated each other? Brad: Well, I stopped hating you pretty quick. Henry: He stopped hating you pretty quick. Brad: It was after I found out how smart and funny and sweet you are, not to mention incredibly beautiful, but what aced it for me was that you, you believed in me. You believed that I could be a TV star, that I could be a husband and a father, and I'm asking you to believe in me now, to believe in me again, to believe in our vows and the hope that Jacob gave us. Please, let me stay. Katie: But I can't touch you. I can't even see you. Brad: You saw me that day on thanksgiving. Katie: Oh, when I saw your reflection in the window. Brad: Yeah, yeah! For that one moment, you believed that you made that happen. We can have that again. We can. If you believe, if you want it enough, we can be together again. Henry: No. I'm not saying that last part. I'm not gonna lie to her, okay? Brad: You don't know what's possible. Henry: No, and neither do you, and you shouldn't set her up for something that will never happen. Katie: No. What is he saying? Henry, what is it? Please, I need to know. Henry: He wants you to stop crying.
Katie: I can't! Brad: I need to talk to her again. Henry: We're gonna try this again, okay? Katie: Okay. Brad: There is a reason why you can't say goodbye. Henry: There's a reason why you can't say goodbye. Brad: It's the same reason why I can't. It's that we don't want to. We wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, to raise lots of kids together, to grow old and crotchety together. If I stay, I don't know what kind of life that we could have together, but I know that I would love you more than ever and that I would be by your side to watch our son grow up. You know, I think he can see me, and I just -- I don't know how long, if he'll always be able to do that, but I want him to know who I am. Katie: I'm not trying to keep you away from Jacob. I want him to know everything there is to know about you, but where does that leave me? I don't know when you're there or when you're not. I mean, you could be standing right in front of me just like you are now and saying all the right things and I wouldn't even know it 'cause you're not you! You're just vapor! I don't know what to do! Henry: What do you want me to tell her? Brad: I just wish I could touch her. I wish I could hold her and make love to her. Henry: He wishes he could touch you and hold you and -- Katie: You don't have to say it. I want that, too.
Henry: Katie. Katie, listen to me. Listen to me, me, not Brad, okay? You are alive, and Brad isn't. He's a ghost, sweetie. Why am I the only one who thinks this is a problem? Katie: Where is Brad exactly, right now? Henry: He's over there. Katie: You made that door slam. I want to feel you. Can you touch my hand? Can I feel you? Henry: He can rest his hand on things, and moving stuff, it takes a lot of effort. Katie: I don't care. I want to try. Please. [ Gasps ] I love you! I love you, Bradley, and I need you so bad. Please try to find a way to come to me, okay? [ Door closes ]
Katie: Brad? Can you hear me? You can, can't you? Just give me a sign or something. Never mind. It's okay. I know you're here, and that's all I need. We are gonna be so happy together. I know it. Henry: She is trying to do the right thing here, okay? She's trying to give you time with your son to make up for the fact that you died trying to protect her. Brad: That is not her fault. Henry: It doesn't matter, Brad! She still feels guilty and lonely, and you took advantage of that! Brad: Oh, well, who cares what you think, okay? Katie understands exactly where I'm coming from, and she wants to be with me. But if we ever need to have a deep conversation, you can swing by the house and help us communicate, right? Henry: No. No. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna help you steal Katie's life. Brad: Fine. Who needs you? I will find another way to be with my wife.
