Transcripts from TVMegasite Henry: Hey! Margo: Henry? Come in, come in, come in! Henry: Yes, it's me! Margo: Oh, look at that! Henry: I really do know how to come in out of the rain -- or the sleet, in this case. Margo: Is that Maddie's stuff? Henry: Yeah. Yeah. How's she doing? Margo: Well, you know. Sometimes good, sometimes not-so-good. She had a nightmare last night, she woke up screaming. Henry: Well, that'll go away, won't it? Margo: Not on it's own, you know? Henry: I don't know what I know. Margo: Oh, Henry, come on. Maddie put out a lot of calls for help, and none of us really heard them. Henry: Yeah, I know. I wish I knew why it was easier to buy her an ice cream soda than it was to just open my ears and listen, you know? You know, she once asked me to place a bet for runaway money? Can you imagine that? My baby sister was sitting there, practically in tears, asking me to put $20 on lefty to show, and it's all fun and games for me. Margo: Well, done is done. You know? You can't do your sister any good by beating yourself up. Henry: Well, what will do any good? Margo: Just time, love, therapy. Henry: You don't think her being here, that's not just me copping out again? Margo: No. No, that's the best way to show her that you love her. Because I can talk to her in ways that you can't. Henry: But I'll get her back, won't I? Margo: Of course you will, Henry. You're her favorite person in the world. Henry: Is she here? Margo: No, she's out doing some errands. Henry: Isn't it a bit too soon for that? Margo: No. Life goes on. Henry: Okay, thanks. Thanks, Margo. This beats chatting in the interrogation room, I can guarantee you. [ Margo laughs ] I'm going to get out of your hair. Margo: No, why don't you sit and relax? You know, she'll be home soon with this storm a-brewin'. Henry: No, I don't want to intrude. I really don't. Margo: Excuse me. Henry: On second thought, you know, even if Maddie looked like a drowned rat, it'd be great to see her.
Margo: Yeah, with the way this storm is brewing, we're going to need all hands on deck. So call in everybody who's off duty, and I'll be there as soon as I can. I'm sorry, Henry, but I gotta get to the station. We got power outages, we got down traffic lights. Henry: Yes. Go, go, go. I will stay here and wait for Maddie. Margo: Okay. Shouldn't be long, you know. She should be here with Danny. Henry: Oh, great. Okay. The more the merrier. I'll heat up a can of something. Maybe two cans. You never who might drop in. Margo: Okay, that's great. Thank you so much. Henry: Yeah, no problem. I'll just stay here and hang out and wait for the kids. You be careful out there. Margo: Yes, sir, I will. Oh! Henry: Come on! Get over here! Would you get -- what are you, the house call from hell? Emily: Oh, no, I'm just checking on Daniel. Henry: What? You couldn't just knock? Emily: Oh, Henry, I'm so cold. I'm freezing. Would you get me a towel or something, please? Henry, please, a towel or something! Henry: Right. Oh, yes, little mama! Yes, yes. Emily: Thank you. Oh, god. Henry: Oh, you are so busted! Emily: I'm just -- look, help me. I'm looking for something. Henry: Yeah, I know what you're looking, you're looking for trouble. That's what it is. Emily: Thank you. Henry: Yeah, you know and I know that I'm going to get this out of you sooner or later, so why don't we just make it sooner. What exactly are you looking for there? Emily: Daniel's passport and his vaccination records. Henry: No, no, no, no, you're not still going through this kidnap thing, are you? Emily: Okay, Paul has forced my hand. I've got to get this baby as far away from him as possible. And there is not way I'm leaving my son behind. Henry: We have talked about this and you know it's not going to work. You're not going to get away with it. Emily: You don't know that. Henry: I know denial when I look at it in the face. I also know that you and reality have serious issues. Emily: Not today. Not today. I know what I have to do. I know what I have to do to keep my baby safe and my son in my life. Henry: Why did I open the door? Emily: But you did. Henry, you opened the door, you let me in, and didn't rat me out to Margo. Henry: Emily, that does not mean that I'm going to help you kidnap Daniel and then spirit him out of the country. Emily: But you are helping me. Don't you see? You are helping me with this small act of kindness. You letting me in from the rain. Henry, you've helped me in so many ways. Henry: Yeah, I have. I have seemed to recall you spent a numerous days in the psych lockdown, right? And that wasn't one of your best events. And now you're going to risk life in prison? Emily: Henry, I know what I'm risking here! Now, listen to me. I've got a flight booked for tomorrow for Daniel. I'm picking him up from cub scouts and then I'm getting on a plane and we're leaving Oakdale for good. Henry: You're a fool. Emily: I'm a mom. And this is the last chance I have got to being a mother to my children.
Henry: Emily, Emily, I promise you, running away is not how you want to go here. Emily: I don't have a choice, okay? Paul has left me no choice. He's sworn to take his baby away from me. Henry: It won't happen. At worst, he's get shared custody. Emily: Are you kidding me? Are you talking the legal system? Huh? The courts? Henry, I'm talking Paul Ryan. The man is ruthless, and vengeful. He won't stop until he gets what he wants. Henry: Okay, that's precisely you need to go home. Emily: No, I'm not going home. I'm not going home, Henry. I'm seizing the moment. Henry: In this weather, come on! Emily: I don't care about the weather! I don't care if this is the worst blizzard on record, okay? I need to do it what it takes to get my children. I'm getting my children and I'm going to go somewhere. Somewhere safe. I don't know. Henry: Do you think that three is such a place, Toto? Emily: No, I don't know. For my children -- for my children, I will make it happen. Where are you? I got it. Okay, I'm off and running. Henry: No, no, no, no, I know this face. I know this face. This is the face that Maddie had when she tried to run away from the world and nearly got herself killed. Emily: Henry, we all have choices to make, okay? And I'm so glad you chose me as your friend. Henry: Wait, wait, will you at least let me know where you're going? Emily: No. I love you, Henry. Henry: Em? Em?
Henry: Hey, I need to ask you a question. Meg: Not now, Henry. Hen: In your professional opinion, how dangerous is it for a pregnant woman to fly by plane? Meg: It depends how far and how long. Henry: Very far and maybe forever. Meg: Are you trying to tell me something, Henry? Henry: Just color me curious -- Meg: Emily's going out of town. Is that the message? Henry: Oh, boy, I sure hope not. Because that would be bad all around, especially for tom and Margo.
