Monday, August 25, 2009 Audrey convinces Henry to go see his father to ask for money to pay off her debt and "save" her from Ray. When they get to the police station, James tells them that in his new will, Paul is the sole Stenbeck heir. So Audrey drugs the lawyer and gets Henry to help her haul him to the basement, in hopes of preventing James from signing it. Today’s episode was directed by Sonia Blangiardo and written by Susan Dansby.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Vienna: I am so proud of you, Henry. Henry: Why is that, hon? Turning my back on the old man? Vienna: Yes, and now you don't have to have anything to do with him ever again. Henry: And if I should get James' money, his inheritance, when he dies? Vienna: Well, then you just pass it over to your mother, and that'll be it. I feel so good about that. Henry: Yeah. Me too. [ Knock on door ] Geez. Audrey: I need you to go with me to see your father. It's a matter of life and death.
Audrey: Ray really believes that James was gonna pay back the $50,000 that I owe him, so now that he's got James in jail, that's his gravy train. He's not gonna get his money. So he's gonna have a meltdown, and he really believes he's gonna get stiffed. Henry: When did he say this? Audrey: When he came to my door, he told me that if I don't have his money in 48 hours, he's gonna kill me. Vienna: Oh, my god! That's horrible! But how is Henry seeing James gonna change that? Audrey: Well, son, I just figured you could go talk to your father and just ask him for a little, tiny advance on your great big inheritance. Henry: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not gonna work. Audrey: Yes, it'll work. He would do it for you. You are his favorite son! Henry: It doesn't matter if he can't get to his money. The guy has committed a lot of crimes. They usually freeze the funds in that situation. Audrey: No. Not with James Stenbeck. He's very smart. He's probably got some cash tucked away somewhere. Please? Please, please, please, son? Help me! Do you really want to see your mommy dead? Henry: Well -- Vienna: No! Of course not! You may have your issues with your mother, but she's still your mother. Henry: That's sad but true. Vienna: Yeah. And eventually you're gonna hand over all the money, so why don't you try to get her some right now so it will save her life? Henry: Okay. I'll do it for you. Vienna: Okay. Henry: All right, mom. Let's go hit up the dying guy for a loan. Come on.
James: You said it was my son. Henry: I am your son. James: Oh, I was expecting Paul. I'll be right outside, if he tries anything. James: I was expecting Paul. Audrey: Why? I mean, why would that viper have the nerve to show up here after the way he treated you? James: What are you two doing here? Audrey: We just wanted to make sure you were all right, and we are both very, very concerned about you. James: Really? Really? What else? Audrey: Henry has something that he wants to ask you. James: Ask. Henry: I was wondering if you would consider possibly giving me an advance on my inheritance. James: Inheritance? I guess I did mention an inheritance, didn't I? Audrey: Yes, yes. And he certainly didn't want to disturb you. I mean, he knows you have so many other things on your mind. James: Yes, like incarceration and death. Audrey: Well, yeah. That. You know, but, the point is, I told him that your daddy would never want you to stand on ceremony and that you would provide every one of his needs. James: Really? Audrey: Yes, really, because, jimmy, I know what kind of guy you are. You're very kind, considerate, and generous and giving. James: Right. Now, easy there, hot pants. I'm not dead yet, so stop spending my money as if I were. Audrey: I don't want you to think it's sounding like the money is more important than you, because it's not. Henry: Don't knock yourself out, mom. He's gonna turn you down. Audrey: Unh-unh. He wouldn't. James: Yes, I would. Paul is now the sole Stenbeck heir. Audrey: Why? James: Paul has changed. I'm very, very proud of him. In fact, my lawyer's on his way back over here with the final draft of my will. Paul is now officially the sole Stenbeck heir.
Audrey: Oh, Jimmy, I cannot believe you would do this. I mean, come on. Henry risked his freedom to keep you away from the police, and that other evil son of yours, he turned you in. James: Yes, but I'm very proud of him. Henry: You're proud of him for turning you in? James: Yes. I mean, Paul finally became a man. I mean, he suffered a lot getting there, but he got there. So he is the sole Stenbeck heir. Audrey: No. Come on. Are you forgetting how much we meant to each other? Are you forgetting everything I have to offer? Henry: Oh, please, god. Don't go there, mother. Please, at least not while I'm in the room. Please, please. James: You know, Audrey, you're one hell of a woman, and our moments together were spectacular, but come on, let's face it, darling, he's just an indiscretion. Audrey: You can't talk to -- to him like that. You can't talk like that to him. In my heart, he was always your son. I just didn't tell anybody. Now, he is your flesh and blood. That has got to be worth something. James: Flesh and blood. All right. You can use the Stenbeck name if you want. [ Audrey sighs ] Henry: Great. Thanks a lot. I think we're done here. Audrey: No! No, no, no! Wait! No! We can't just leave! I don't want to just leave! Henry: Let's go, mom. Audrey: Jimmy! Audrey: What about ray and the money? Paul: Did you get called in for a command visit, too? Audrey: Oh, don't you dare speak to him, you sneaky little money grabber! Henry: Mom, come on. Emily: Paul, what the hell was that all about? Paul: James brings out the best in everyone.
Henry: It's over, mother. Stenbeck isn't gonna give me the money. Just give it up, please. Audrey: He has not signed the will yet. Henry: So what? What are you gonna do? Are you gonna break his fingers so he can't sign it? Audrey: Well, he said he was waiting on the final draft. We just have to make sure he does not get it. Henry: How you gonna do that? Who are you calling? Audrey: Hey. Hello, Mr. Hansen. Yes, hi. It's Audrey Coleman. Do you remember me? Oh, you darling, charming man. Yes. Listen, I am in need of immediate, serious legal advice. It's a matter of life and death. Henry: Isn't it always? Audrey: So, I was wondering, could you meet me right away here at the lakeview? I'm in room 1011. That is perfect. See you soon. He's coming. Jimmy's lawyer's coming here. Henry: That's great. What then? Audrey: I'll figure it out. [ Knock on door ] Wait a minute. He couldn't have gotten here that fast. Henry: No, no. Who could that be, then? Audrey: It's ray! It's ray! He's come to kill me! Henry: No, no! Wait! Mom, he said he'd give you 48 hours. Audrey: Well, then, he lied! He's a loan shark. What do you expect? Henry: Right. You need to hide. Okay. I'll try to get rid of him. Audrey: Okay. What if you can't? Henry: Then we're both dead. Just hide. Just hide. Audrey: Okay, okay. Go, go, go. Henry: Oh. Vienna: Finally. What took you so long? Henry: Raging paranoia. It's a specialty of my mother's. Audrey: Oh, you were scared, too. Hi. Vienna, hi. How are you? Vienna: So, how did it go with James? Did you convince him to give you the money? Henry: Not exactly. Audrey: Oh, but we are definitely working on it. Oh, did you hear that? I am starving. I'm so hungry. We didn't have lunch. Do you want to go get a table, and I'm just gonna freshen up a bit? Meet you down there. Vienna: No, no. We can wait, so we can all go together. Audrey: Oh, no. I insist. Please, go get a table. Two minutes, two minutes. It won't take that long. Vienna: Oh, okay. Audrey: Okay. Vienna: Okay, quick. Tell me exactly what James said before Audrey gets down here. Henry: You know, the typical "I'm Stenbeck, the all powerful, blah, blah, blah." Vienna: Okay. But is she going to get some of that money or not? Henry: She thinks she is. Vienna: Yeah? May I take your order? Vienna: We're waiting for one more person. Perhaps you'd like to wait at the bar until your party is complete? Vienna: Perhaps you should go and get me a glass of champagne and a martini for my Henry. Thank you. I hate it when they get so pushy. Henry: Yeah. Yeah, you know, I hate it, too. I'm gonna go upstairs and see what's keeping my mother. No, I'll be right back. Vienna: Henry, we can call her!
Mr. Hansen: I don't usually drink when I'm on a business call. Audrey: Oh, I'm sure, but, please, I insist. Please. You know, I have such a delicate, delicate matter to discuss with you. I need a little liquid courage before I can divulge all. You know, and it's really rude for a lady to have to drink alone. Cin cin. Mmm. Mnh-mnh! You know what? I feel the need for one more sip, and then I'm sure I can tell you everything that's wrong. Please. Mr. Hansen: I am obviously not used to this. [ Knock on door ] Henry: Hey. Audrey: Hey. You're just in time. Henry: What's going on? Audrey: Nothing. You're in time to help. Henry: Mother, what have you done? Audrey: Nothing. I'm just making sure that you get everything that's coming to you. Henry: Oh, my god. Mother, you killed the lawyer? Audrey: No, I didn't kill him! He's just doped up, and now I need you to find a place for me to hide him before he wakes up.
Henry: I am being careful! Audrey: Ow! Vienna: Who's that? Audrey: Hey! I thought you were waiting downstairs for us. Vienna: Well, I was wondering what was taking so long. What's going on? Henry: Why don't you tell her? Audrey: Okay. It's Boris. Boris is an old, old boyfriend of mine. He just came by, drunk as a skunk, and he just passed right out. Vienna: Okay. So, what are you gonna do with him? Henry: We're gonna put him in a cab and send him home, and it's only gonna take a minute. Why you don't just wait back down in the lounge? Vienna: No. You know what? I'm tired of getting that attitude from the waiter. I'm gonna go to the room and order room service. Henry: Oh. Would you, sweetie? Would you get me a cheeseburger and a pitcher of martinis? Vienna: Yes, I will. Henry: Okay.
Audrey: Okay, okay. Henry: Where? Audrey: Here, here, here, here, here! Put him down. Put him down. Careful. Ow! Ow! Okay. Look, look, look. I have rope. We can tie him up. Here. Henry: Do you always carry rope around in your purse? Audrey: Well, you know, a girl's got to be prepared! Mr. Hansen: Cheeseburger. Audrey: Oh! Henry: He's not gonna stay unconscious forever, mom. Audrey: Right, right, right. I brought something to gag him. Henry: Those are panties! Audrey: Well, they're clean! He has to have something in his mouth! Henry: I demand that you stop talking! Audrey: Okay. All right. All right. Here it is. Henry: The will? Audrey: The will! That dirty, rotten creep! He really was gonna cut you out. Well, he is not gonna have a chance. As long as James dies before he signs this, you, my son, are going to inherit the entire Stenbeck fortune.
