Monday, August 3, 2009 Henry is still suspicious of his mother and her motives for coming to town. He sends her out shopping with Vienna so he has a chance to go through her things. He finds several obituaries cut out from the newspaper, and all of the names are also mentioned in her journal. He suspects his mother of killing the men, figuring that his sister Eve the serial killer got her instincts from somewhere. There's one name, Jay Stanhope, without a matching obituary, and it turns out to be the name of her friend that's visiting from Chicago. Vienna invites him to have lunch with them, and Henry warns him to leave town before Audrey has a chance to do him in. He pretends to do so, but he's really working with Audrey in some scheme. Today’s episode was directed by Brian Mertes and written by David A. Levinson.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: I love you. Henry: Unfortunately. I just wonder what she wants in return. Audrey: Yoo-hoo! Are you two lovebirds up? Henry: Not anymore. Don't let her in here, please. Audrey: Good morning to you. You look incredible first thing in the morning.
Hello, son. I hope you two are making the most of your happy little reunion. Henry: We were. Audrey: Henry, I actually really, truly do want you to be happy. Henry: And how much is my happiness going to cost me? Audrey: Yeah, I really have no idea what you're talking about. Henry: The price, mom. The price. What kind of gambling debt have you -- Audrey: Okay, enough! Stop! Really. Why do you think I want money from you? Henry: I don't know. It's because that's what you always want when you show
up at my doorstep, unannounced. After the free drink, of course. Audrey: Oh, sorry. I haven't had a chance to move into my brand-new room. So
I will get that bag out of your way, I promise, today. Henry: Actually, mom, you know what? It looks kind of heavy. Why don't you
let me bring it to the room? Audrey: All right. Do I have to tip you? [Chuckles] Henry: No. You know what? Consider it an apology, really. I actually -- I
feel bad, Audrey: That sounds like fun. When? Henry: How about now? You could go to old town. You guys could do some
shopping, maybe get some lunch. Audrey: You wouldn't mind? Audrey: Okay, then, I'm gonna go get my purse. Thanks! Henry: You don't want to know, my sweet. Henry: I'm sure you will. Okay, mom. Let's see why you're really here. Henry: Obituary. They're all obituaries. Most mothers keep mints or cough
lozenges in their bag, but not my mom. No, sirree. Hello. Hello, hello, hello.
Huh. "Carl Ramsey has become completely infatuated with me. He says he
lives to touch me and swears he'll give me anything I want." Carl Ramsey?
Carl Ramsey. I guess you didn't get to touch her after all, did you, buddy?
"Frank ward." Frank ward. Frank ward. Ben Johnson. Johnson. Why -- why
are all the men in my mother's journal dead? Oh, my god. She's killed them! Henry: "Jay Stanhope won't be happy about my leaving him in Henry: Got to find this Jay Stanhope guy, and warn him that my mother is
trying to kill him. But how? [Cellphone rings] Hello? Henry: Henry: I know. Sweetheart, I don't how to tell you this, but learned
something about her. Henry: A special what? Henry: He's still alive? Henry: Wait a second. Jay? Jay what? Henry: Oh, my god. He's there with you now? Henry: I'll be right down. Henry: And listen, sweetheart, you got to promise me something, okay? Don't
touch anything until my mother ingests or imbibes it first. Henry: Just promise me! Henry: That's great. How well do you know this woman? Audrey: Henry! Henry: I'm just asking. How long have you known her? Audrey: I -- excuse my son here. He's a little overprotective. Henry, you
have not even been formally introduced to Jay, and you're already giving him the
third degree. Henry: Is that a problem? Audrey: It's just a teeny-weeny bit rude. Audrey: Oh, well, I didn't know I had so much honor to defend. Henry: So you admit it! Audrey: Admit what? Henry: That you have a relationship with this man! Jay: Well, it's -- it's a little more complicated than that. Audrey: Oh, but what relationships aren't a little complicated in some way or
another? Henry: Ones that are over? Audrey: What? Would you stop? Could you j -- sit down and just join us and
stop asking so many questions. It's not really polite to dig up personal things
over lunch. Henry: You're right, mother. There are some things that should remain buried.
Audrey: Okay, um, do you mind? But I am just famished. I am starving, and I'm
wondering, does anybody want to maybe split an appetizer or two? Audrey: Oh, that's nice. I think I saw the little girls room around -- Henry: She knows where it is, mom. She's just wants you to join her. Audrey: Oh, okay. Henry: It's her -- it's her favorite way of bonding. That is, after shopping.
Audrey: Okay. Well, um, since you ask that way, I can't say no. Henry: Jay, I don't want to alarm you. You seem like a nice guy, but you need
to leave now. Jay: Leave? Why? Henry: Because your life is danger. Henry: Look, obviously you don't know my mother very well. Jay: That's a matter of opinion. Henry: You would not say that if you knew how dangerous she is. Jay: Audrey's dangerous? Henry: Very much so. Jay: Okay, tell you what. Maybe you're right. Maybe I should go. Henry: Yes! Yes! That's a good idea. And you should hurry. No, you should go
this way. Audrey: Was that Jay I just saw leaving? Henry: Yeah, it was. It was. Henry: Nope. He said he forgot he had a meeting. Audrey: No, actually, it's not too bad. It gives me a little more time with
you and Henry. Henry: I thought you'd be a little more disappointed. Audrey: And why is that? Henry: Because I just sent away your latest victim and saved his life. Henry: You want to explain this? Audrey: Where did you get those? Henry: From your suitcase. Audrey: You went -- you went nosing around in my private things? That is an
invasion of my privacy. Henry: Okay, that's the big deal here. Get upset about that. No, no, no. Do
you -- do you know these men? Audrey: They -- they were friends. Yes, friends of mine. Henry: They were friends. Audrey: Yes. I mean, I miss them, all of them, very much every day. Henry: Okay, then why did you kill them? Audrey: What? Henry: You heard what I said. Audrey: How in the world can you make such a heinous accusation?! Henry: Would you look and just open your eyes, okay? It runs in our family.
Remember my sister? Of course, I'm sure you would prefer to that forget she even
exists. Audrey: Wait a minute. You just stop right there. Now you have gone far
enough. I was completely devastated by eve's breakdown. Henry: Were you? You know, I guess I must've just missed you on visiting days
at the sanitarium. When were you there? Was it Tuesday or Thursday? What? Audrey: She was my baby. I sang her lullabies, and I rocked her to sleep. How
in the world can you blame me for what happened to her? Henry: I don't know. I guess it's when she became Oakdale's serial killer.
She must have gotten it from somewhere, mom. Audrey: That is a truly cruel and offensive accusation. Henry: Is it any less cruel than killing one boyfriend at a time? Henry: Why'd you do it, mom? Was it -- was it for the money? Must have been
for the money. Audrey: Why are -- why are you doing this to me? Henry: I'm just trying to get some answers from you that you don't seem to
want to give me. Audrey: I think what you want is to -- to hurt me. So congratulations, son.
You've succeeded very well. I -- I am not hungry. I -- I want to go. I've lost
my appetite. Audrey: It is not your fault. Henry: Oh, yeah, blame me. The next thing you know, you're gonna be blaming
the victims. Henry: Ow! Henry: Me? I'm not the one that killed a half-dozen rich men! She is! Henry: Honey, I played against a lot of bad odds in my time. Nobody is this
unlucky. Henry: Right. I need to call the police. Henry: Why? Why, so she can stab me in the back, she can put arsenic in my
martini? Henry: No, no, no, no, no. She is keeping something from us, and you know
what? I'm gonna find out what it is.
