Today's Henry scenes begin where Friday's left off - with Henry (aka Goldilocks) being confronted by Jack and Carly (aka Papa Bear and Mama Bear).

Henry, dressed in his black burglar's outfit, is eating the dinner that Carly had prepared for Jack at his house in Milltown.  She slaps his hand away saying, "You're eating our dinner?!"  "Well, yeah, it's delicious.  Goldilocks herself couldn't have asked for better," says Henry.  Jack tells Carly that Henry was just leaving.  "Yeah, I would love to get out of your hair and let you finish what's left of your dinner here, but - Jack, I'm afraid that's just not gonna be possible now," says Henry.  Carly reminds Henry that the cops are on their way.  Jack tells Carly to call them back and tell them it was a false alarm.  Carly cannot believe what she's hearing, didn't Jack want Henry arrested?  "What your husband has failed to tell you is that, if the cavalry comes charging down the driveway there, I'm not the only one going to prison.  If I go down, we all go down," explains Henry threateningly.

"All right, I called off the cops," says Carly.  "Now do you want to explain to me what's going on?"  "Well, yeah.  I got a call that the cops were looking to pick me up in connection with Barbara Ryan's kidnapping," explains Henry.  "Oh, thanks for the tip-off there, Jack."  Jack tells him he should've gotten out of town while he had the chance.  "Well, that was Plan A.  And then I ran out of funds.  That's not really an option right now," says Henry.  "Ran out of funds?  How is that possible, after all that money you took from me?" asks Carly.  "What money?" asks Jack as he approaches Henry.  Henry jumps behind the table and says, "Now - you know what?  Now is not the right time to be talking about this.  Jack is angry.  He's armed.  You know, I think this whole money thing is a thing of the past, Carly."  Carly explains that Henry found out she slept with Mike and blackmailed her.  "Look, they were desperate times, and people did desperate things," explains Henry.  He tries to avoid Jack but can't, Jack puts his hand out to stop Henry.  "Okay, Jack?  Wait a second.  Wait, wait, wait just a second.  I'm not afraid of you, okay?  Now, you may bruise me badly.  You may break my bones.  But I know you, Jack.  You're an ethical man, and you will not commit murder."  "Maybe I'll have a momentary lapse of judgment, Henry," says Jack.  "Fine.  You spill one drop of my blood, and I will tell Barbara Ryan and the district attorney everything I know," threatens Henry.  "You already did!" says Jack cheerfully.  "He what?" asks Carly.  She asks Jack what they're going to do now, they can't trust Henry.  "After careful consideration, Jack, Carly, I think that this humble abode here is probably the safest place for me to spend on the entire earth, hmm?  Right here," suggests Henry.  "I hate to say it, but he's got a good point.  No one would ever think of looking for him here," agrees Jack.  "You see?  Great minds think alike," says Henry.  Jack tells Carly to get her bag, they're leaving.  "Are you gonna be home late, Jack?  Should I wait up?" taunts Henry.  "All right, don't answer the phone.  Don't answer the door.  And stay inside and out of trouble, okay?" orders Jack.  "Can you pick up some dessert, then?  'Cause I've got a bit of a sweet tooth, and I'm a total beast if I don't get any chocolate," says Henry.  "You blackmailed my wife.  You're lucky you still have a pulse.  If you're smart, you'll stay out of my way," says Jack, not happy about the situation.  "Whatever you say, roomie. You kids have fun!" calls Henry as Jack and Carly leave.

Carly: You're eating our dinner?!

Henry: Well, yeah, it's delicious. Goldilocks herself couldn't have asked for better.

Carly: Jack!

Jack: Henry was just leaving.

Henry: Yeah, I would love to get out of your hair and let you finish what's left of your dinner here, but -- Jack, I'm afraid that's just not gonna be possible now.

Carly: Did you or did you not hear me say that the cops are on their way?

Jack: Call 'em back, Carly. Call 'em off.

Carly: I beg your pardon?

Jack: Tell 'em it was a false alarm. Stray dog, rabid raccoon. Somethin'.

Carly: Jack, I thought you wanted this guy arrested.

Henry: Yeah. What your husband has failed to tell you is that, if the cavalry comes charging down the driveway there, I'm not the only one going to prison. If I go down, we all go down.

 

Carly: All right, I called off the cops. Now do you want to explain to me what's going on?

Henry: Well, yeah. I got a call that the cops were looking to pick me up in connection with Barbara Ryan's kidnapping. Oh, thanks for the tip-off there, Jack.

Jack: If I were you, I would've gotten out of town when I had the chance.

Henry: Well, that was plan "A." And then I ran out of funds. That's not really an option right now.

Carly: Ran out of funds? How is that possible, after all that money you took from me?

Jack: What money?

Henry: Now -- you know what? Now is not the right time to be talking about this. Jack is angry. He's armed. You know, I think this whole money thing is a thing of the past, Carly.

Carly: Henry found out I slept with Mike. And he blackmailed me.

Jack: He what?!

Henry: Look, they were desperate times, and people did desperate things. Okay, Jack? Wait a second. Wait, wait, wait just a second. I'm not afraid of you, okay? Now, you may bruise me badly. You may break my bones. But I know you, Jack. You're an ethical man, and you will not commit murder.

Jack: Maybe I'll have a momentary lapse of judgment, Henry.

Henry: Fine. You spill one drop of my blood, and I will tell Barbara Ryan and the district attorney everything I know.

Jack: You already did!

Carly: He what?

Henry: You know --

Carly: Well, Jack, what are you gonna do? What are we gonna do? He can't be trusted.

Henry: After careful consideration, Jack, Carly, I think that this humble abode here is probably the safest place for me to spend on the entire earth, hmm? Right here.

Jack: I hate to say it, but he's got a good point. No one would ever think of looking for him here.

Henry: You see? Great minds think alike.

Jack: Get your bag. Come on. Let's go.

Carly: What?

Jack: Come on.

Carly: Why? Where?

Henry: Are you gonna be home late, Jack? Should I wait up?

Jack: All right, don't answer the phone. Don't answer the door. And stay inside and out of trouble, okay?

Henry: Can you pick up some dessert, then? 'Cause I've got a bit of a sweet tooth, and I'm a total beast if I don't get any chocolate.

Jack: You blackmailed my wife. You're lucky you still have a pulse. If you're smart, you'll stay out of my way.

Henry: Whatever you say, roomie. You kids have fun!
