Henry has been locked in BJ's wine cellar for several days now. He starts throwing bottles, trying to make something happen. BJ comes in and asks him to stop, and threatens Maddie. "Don't threaten my sister," warns Henry, holding the bottle as if to hit BJ with it. "Why is everything such high melodrama with you?" laughs BJ. "That is really funny coming from a guy who's locked me up in a wine cellar with an Aryan milkmaid to guard the door while he's hiring some creep to dispose of my best friend," observes Henry. "Oh, ex-best friend," corrects BJ. "Oh, God! I knew it, I knew it! You killed him, didn't you?" accuses Henry. "Whoa, calm down. Mike's fine. I just mean he's not your friend anymore," says BJ. "No, he's not. No, he's not, thanks to you. B.J., thanks. Listen to me, listen to me. I'm begging you to do something here. Leave Maddie alone. She's a good kid. All she wants to do is to make sure that I'm okay. That's it. Now, you let me out of here, she quits her snooping -- problem solved," suggests Henry. "Right, well, that's one way to go. Another way would be, well, to get you both out of my life for good," threatens BJ. "If you wanted to get rid of me, you would've done it already," observes Henry. "Maybe I just haven't figured out the most efficient way yet," says BJ. "You can't just erase people and expect no one to notice," says Henry. "Sure you can. It's as easy as hitting the delete key on a computer. But don't worry, I'm not a murderer by nature," says BJ. "Prove it," challenges Henry. "Okay. Well, I've put one new plan in motion that hopefully will get Maddie off my back. And if it doesn't, well -- let's just say you'll have one less person to worry about on your Christmas gift list," says BJ. "Listen to me, you overpaid cybergeek. You can do whatever you want to me, but you leave my sister alone. If you hurt her, if you go near her, I will claw through these walls with my bare hands, and I will hunt you down. You understand me?" threatens Henry. "Good luck with that. But in the meantime, you better hope Maddie takes the bait," laughs BJ.
Alone in the cellar, Henry kicks the glass on the floor and mutters, "That's just great going, Coleman. Threaten the man who's threatening your sister. That -- that's great. That makes a lot of sense. I got -- I got to get out of here. I wonder if I can cut through the lock." He takes a piece of glass and starts to work on the lock. He cuts himself and cries out. Olga appears and tells him "Please, to stop screaming like baby! And please to stop breaking wine!" "You can't break wine, Hildegard. You can only break wine bottles," says Henry. "The name is Olga," says Olga, who is holding a book.. "Yeah, I know the name is Olga. What do you got there, huh, Rise of the fourth Reich?'" asks Henry. "No, Mr. Smartypants," says Olga. "'Ten steps to financial freedom,'" reads Henry, "How entrepreneurial of you." "You think working for Mr. Green as bodyguard is the only thing Olga can do?" asks Olga. "Wow, I hope not, I really do. I mean, it's -- it's obvious to me that you are a smart woman. And a bit violent, but then, some men are into that sort of thing. But I think that you've got a good heart, and you've got a very clever brain. And that's why, Olga, it's baffling to me that you are working for a man like B.J.," says Henry. "He is paying very well," says Olga. "Yeah, but you know what? I bet you can make your own money. I'm sure you're up to, what, step five, six on the ten-step road there? Why would you degrade yourself by working for a man who obviously despises you?" asks Henry. "Honey, honey, he hates women. Come on. Especially women he can't control." "You trying to tell Olga something, yeah?" asks Olga. "Yeah, I'm trying to tell Olga something. Now listen up," says Henry.
"Why you say bad things about Mr. Green?" asks Olga. "What do you mean, besides the fact that he's locked me up in a wine cellar?" asks Henry. "Yeah," says Olga. "Well, Olga, I think he's taking advantage of your -- your fair and good-hearted nature. That's what I think. I think he's trying to confuse you about who's good and who is bad. Now, just because I am the prisoner down here doesn't mean I'm the bad one. After all, I'm not the one who's threatening to harm an innocent young girl," says Henry. "What girl? What harm?" asks Olga. "There, you see? This is what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. B.J. is keeping you in the dark. While you're down here looking at me throw wine bottles against a wall, he is threatening to hurt someone whose only crime is that she cares about her older brother. Now, Olga, I don't believe that you are evil enough to partake in something like that," says Henry. "I know nothing about girl! I just make sure Henry does not escape," says Olga. "Even if it means my sister's gonna die? Is that in your job description? Are you gonna stand by and watch something like that happen on your watch?" asks Henry.
"If my sister gets hurt and you turn a blind eye, Olga, you are just as guilty as B.J.," says Henry. "I am guilty of nothing," says Olga. "Right, you're guilty of nothing. And if you look at the paper tomorrow, and it says, 'Young girl found at the bottom of a lake, cause is unknown.' Are you gonna be able to live with yourself, Olga, knowing that you could have done something about that?" asks Henry. "Why do you say these bad things about Mr. Green?" asks Olga. "Come on, come on. You are his personal trainer. You knew him in his before-self, right, when he was still vulnerable? Are you telling me, in all that time, you never noticed any behavior that was slightly strange?" asks Henry. "A little strange, yeah, but..." says Olga. "No, it's more than strange, Olga. It is -- it is dangerous. Why do you think I'm down here? Do you think this is some practical joke, some prank? No. I am down here because I know a lot about him, and it's a threat to him. And my little, nosy sister is a threat to him. Look, look, I know underneath that black belt that there is a soul, all right? A good soul. And I know you're not gonna let my sister get hurt, will you?" asks Henry. "What is it you think Olga can do?" asks Olga. "Let me -- let me out of here. And if I can get to her, I can protect her, please," asks Henry. "No, that I cannot do. I made promise," says Olga. "Okay, okay, okay. Then -- then talk to B.J. talk to him. Talk to him, and tell him that Madeline is no longer a threat to him, that you overheard me muttering something about how she would give up looking for me once she got bored. Yeah. And there's no reason for him to hurt her. He obviously trusts you. Maybe he'll listen to you. Please," begs Henry.
"I know you have a heart in there, despite your devotion to B.J. Green. And I know you would not allow an innocent young girl to get hurt just to save your job. So please, please don't let her get hurt. Please do the right thing," asks Henry. BJ arrives and asks, "And what right thing is that, Henry?" "Mr. Green..." says Olga. "Hey, what's going on here?" asks BJ. "Uh, I was asking lovely Olga here to marry me. So if we could have a little bit of privacy, please," says Henry. "Don't let him get to you, Olga. Remember who signs your paycheck," says BJ. "Yes, Mr. Green. I do not forget," says Olga. "Good. You're doing a good job, so keep it up. But you can go now," says BJ. After Olga leaves, BJ asks, "You really didn't think you'd turn her against me, did you?" "Okay, what happened to Maddie? Tell me your plan worked," demands Henry. "Why should I tell you that? I'm having way too much fun watching you squirm," smiles BJ. "You know what, slick? I bet I can get away with a murder rap, considering the circumstances," warns Henry. "Yeah, but you'd have to pull off the murder first, right? And that's not really your style. Plus, let's face it, you're not really competition for me, are ya? Are ya? Come on, just admit that, and I'll tell you all about your sister, really," says BJ. "No, B.J., I'm not competition for you. I'm not competition for you," laughs Henry, "Now, tell me -- tell me about Maddie." "She's fine -- for now. I don't think she'll be a problem anymore -- at least I hope not," says BJ.
