Thursday, October 22, 2009 Henry tells Margo the whole story about where Katie is. They go to the police station to try to track down Ralph, and get help from Dusty who has crossed paths with him in the past. Brad shows up at the station and is not happy to hear what has happened to Katie. Today’s episode was directed by Jennifer Pepperman and written by Leslie Nipkow.
Transcripts from TVMegasite Margo: You know -- as much as I want to wring every little bit of truth out of you right now, my sister loves you. So for the sake of Katie, I'm just -- I'm just gonna say don't talk and -- and get yourself a lawyer. Henry: I don't want a lawyer. Margo: No, no. You got to do this. We're gonna find Katie. But, uh, if I let you incriminate yourself, she will never forgive me. Henry: You can throw the book at me. I -- I don't care. All that matters is that we get your sister back. Look, I -- I did this, okay? And I'm gonna help bubbles, even if it means landing in prison for the rest of my miserable life. Margo: Oh, yeah, fine. Henry: You're not hearing me, okay?! This is not a game! Katie isn't misplaced! She and the baby are in serious danger! I may not have time to dig up a lawyer! Margo: You realize that you are putting yourself at great legal risk? Henry: I do. I realize that. But I -- I need to tell you everything, okay? The only thing that matters is finding Katie. And she and the baby have to be okay. Katie: Oh, no! This can't be happening now. Okay. Katie, you know what to do. Count between contractions, how long they last, just like in class. [Groans] Oh, it's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine. I'm sure help is on the way. And first babies take a long time to be born, anyway. Isn't that right? Isn't that what the doctor said? Yeah. Yes. Ow. Ow. Oh! [Groaning] Henry: You know I have a tendency to get mixed up with the wrong kind of people -- uh, my mother, my father, my father's money. Margo: Oh, damn it, Henry! Who has Katie? Henry: Have you heard of a Ralph Manzo? Margo: No. Henry: Okay. That's -- that's good, I guess. I -- I guess he's not on a "ten most-wanted" list, at least not by his real name. I wonder if Manzo is his real name. Then again, Teri and Janet have known him for 20 years, this Manzo. Margo: Focus, focus, focus. Sit down and just -- just start at the beginning. Henry: Okay, the beginning. It all goes back to the circle of life.
Henry: I tried, I tried. I tried everything I could to get the money to pay off Manzo. Some things I'd rather forget. But Vienna's life was at stake, and I couldn't let her suffer for my stupid, stupid -- Margo: Stupid, stupid. Yes. Henry: It worked. That's the thing, all right? I got the ransom money thanks to Barbara. And so we went to a bank, and we got a certified check that will work anywhere. And then I brought it to Manzo, and, uh, he didn't know where Katie was. Margo: What? Henry: He, uh -- he lost her. His goons messed up or mutinied or whatever it is goons do when they go bad. And -- and when Manzo told me this, I shoved him down, and I took the check, and I got out of there, and I came here straight to you. Margo: Straight to me?! This has been going on for weeks! Straight to me! Henry: I -- I know. I thought I had it under control, sort of. And this Manzo -- what kind of criminal is that? How do you kidnap somebody and then misplace the victim, especially Katie! She's as big as a house by now. Margo: Oh, god! She's gonna give birth any minute. This is the worst possible time for something like this to happen. Henry: I know, I know, I know. And -- and if one hair on that beautiful head is misplaced, I -- I will -- I don't know what I'll do. But I just want bubbles to be okay. Say something, shoot me, do something. I deserve it. Just don't give me the silent treatment. Margo: How? How could you be so selfish and greedy as to let my pregnant sister take the fall for you? Henry: You can't call me any names that I haven't called myself, okay? Just save the flogging until we get her home. The important thing is now how do we find her? Margo: What I wouldn't want to do to you right now, but I can't, 'cause I need your help. Henry: Human sacrifice isn't out of the question. Margo: I'll keep that in mind. Yes, this is Hughes. I need an APB put out on Ralph Manzo and another one put out on my sister, Katie Snyder. You can take the picture of her off of my desk. And be sure that you specify that she is very, very pregnant.
Margo: Any words on the whereabouts of Katie or Manzo? Cop: No, but the APB just went wide. We'll find your sister, boss. Margo: I want everyone out on the streets. I want foot patrols, squad cars, undercover units. Just -- just call in anybody you can get a hold of. Cop: Are we talking overtime? Margo: Yeah. And double if they're on vacation. And if the mayor has a problem with that, wait till his sister goes missing. Margo: Henry, Henry, Henry, where are you going? Henry: Uh, look, I got Katie into this, okay? So I'm gonna go out and look, or die trying. Margo: No, no. You're gonna stay right here with me. Henry: Why? Margo: Because "a," I don't trust you, and "b," you're more useful to me here. Henry: Useful how?! Margo: Because you are gonna convince Audrey to tell me everything she knows about her old pal Ralph. Henry: Forget it. There's no way my mother's gonna talk. Margo: Well, you'd better find a way, or else you'll be wearing mother-son jumpsuits courtesy of the state.
Henry: I -- I told you my mother wouldn't crack. When it comes to saving her skin or saving mine, her skin comes first. Margo: It's just disgusting. Henry: Well, welcome to my childhood, and my adulthood. Being raised by wolves would have been better. Margo: You know, Katie is gonna be a mother, too, and she never thought that was gonna happen. But she finally got her miracle, and she is doing everything she can to make sure that she has a normal, healthy, happy baby. Katie deserves that. She has earned that. So please, Henry, would you please use your mind for something other than making jokes and help me find her before it's too late?
Brad: Katie? Honey? Where are you? Henry, it's brad. What happened? You promised you were gonna bring Katie home. Where the hell are you? Henry: Brad. [Sighs] Margo: Whoa. That was fast. Dusty: I'm an upstanding citizen. When the police call, I come running. Margo: There's no need to yank my chain. You're not in any trouble, Donovan. Dusty: Then what am I doing here? Margo: I ran a name, Ralph Manzo, through the database, and your name came up as a known associate. Why is that? Dusty: We used to do some business back in Chicago. Margo: Oh. Didn't go so well? Dusty: It depends on your definition of "well." I still have all my toes and fingers. That's doing pretty well when you're dealing with Ralph Manzo. Henry: I know the feeling. Dusty: I thought you two were business partners. Henry: It depends on your definition of "partner." Margo: All right. So, anything else you can tell me about this guy -- address, place he's liked to do business? Dusty: Well, I ran into, uh, a couple of his goons in church, of all places.& Margo: Church? I'm not even gonna ask. Dusty: Seems like they had a little falling out with their boss. And when I tried to follow up, Manzo pulled a vanishing act. Henry: Oh, my god. I hope not. I hope not. Dusty: What aren't you telling me? Margo: Telling you? We're not telling you anything about an ongoing investigation. Thanks for getting down here on short notice, and I'll call you if I have any other questions. Dusty: In other words, you don't trust me. Henry: See, this is a matter of life and death. If you know anything -- Margo: Henry, we're fine. Dusty: Well, if you find the two bozos who used to work for him, you'll find Manzo. Margo: Any other physical description besides "bozo"? Dusty: You ever hear of a guy named Madigan? I overheard them saying they were headed over to Madigan's. Margo: And they were talking about this in church? Dusty: Yeah, that's right. 'Cause whatever they did for Manzo is bad enough that they needed the forgiveness of the almighty himself.
Henry: How hard can it be to find a crook like Madigan? Uh, don't you guys have databases that go all the way back to Capone? Margo: There are a lot of names in this database. There are two Madigan's in Boston. There's one in Seattle, one in phoenix, all of them small-time offenders. None of them with the clout to run a crew. Henry: Well, keep looking, please. Katie's life may depend on it. Brad, brad, brad, brad, brad, brad, brad, brad. Brad: No more double-talk. Where is my wife? Henry: That's what we're trying to find out, brad. Listen, um, Katie's been kidnapped, and I'm responsible. Margo: Brad, let him go! I'll explain everything. Henry: Uh, brad, look, I know you want to kill me. It's perfectly reasonable that you want to kill me. But look, we can pick this up later on if you want. But right now, this is not gonna help us find Katie. Brad: Tell me how to find my wife, or you're a dead man!
