Once again, Henry rings Carly's
doorbell. She is not happy to see him and says, "I paid you your hush
money, you little leech. You said you'd vanish, so vanish!"
"I will, into thin air," Henry reassures her. "And no one
will ever know about the little patty-cake that's in your oven, whether the baker man
was Mike or Jack, no one will ever know. But I gotta ask you, did you rob
a bank for this money? Because I don't want to try to pass marked
bills." Carly tells him he's ridiculous, but Henry is just being
cautious. He wonders, "Where would a woman like you get her hands on
all those dead presidents?" Carly tells him it's none of his
business. "Right," says Henry, guessing where she got the money,
"But it was your business you embezzled from, or shall we say appropriated
the funds?" "We shall say nothing!" says Carly.
"OK, fine," agrees Henry, "But I don't think your business partners
will be happy about the sudden loss of 50,000 dollars from the company
coffers. And you know what? I wouldn't count on any understanding
coming from Mr. Craig or Ms. Rosanna." "That's my problem, now
disappear!" says Carly as she shoves him out the door.
In a completely unrelated story, Katie has
found a diary belonging to the original residents of the cottage she and Simon
live in. She reads all about Kathryn and Sam, and is convinced they are
Katie and Simon in a previous life. She gives the diary to Simon to read,
and he gives her the bad news - Kathryn and Sam did not have a happy
ending. They imagine their lives in the pioneer days of Illinois, with
Katie as Kathryn, Simon as Sam, and Henry as the gold minor Hank. Sam and
Hank are showing Kathryn the gold he found, and Hank assures her there's more
where that came from. Sam asks Hank to wait outside so he can talk to
Kathryn (things haven't changed much in the last 100 years). Hank gives it
one more try, saying, "The rivers run gold, it's the chance of a
lifetime!" He gives a whoop and Sam again asks him to wait
outside. "Yeah, I reckon I'll wait outside. Ma'am."
Sam tells Kathryn that he's going West, alone, to find gold. He assures
her it won't be forever, but she doesn't want to let him go. As Simon and
Katie continue to read the diary, they find out that Sam does leave, and he
never returns. Kathryn dies without ever seeing him again.

Transcripts from ATWTweekly
[ Jack & Carly's House ]
[ Knocking ]
>> Carly: I paid you your hush money, you leech. You said you'd vanish, so
vanish.
>> Henry: I will, into thin air, Carly. 
And
no one will ever know about little patty-cake, patty-cake that's in your oven,
or whether the baker man was Mike or Jack. No one will ever know. But I gotta
ask you a question. Did you rob a bank for this money? Because I don't want to
try to pass marked bills.
>> Carly: Don't be ridiculous.
>> Henry: All right. I have to be cautious. Where does a woman like you
get her talons on all those dead presidents, huh?
>> Carly: That is none of your business.
>> Henry: Because it was your business that you embezzled from, all right.
Or shall we say "appropriated the funds"?
>> Carly: "We" shall say nothing.
>> Henry: Okay, fine. But I don't think your business partners are gonna
be too happy to find the sudden loss of $50,000 from the company's coffers. And
you know what? I wouldn't count on any understanding from Mr. Craig or Miss
Rosanna.
>> Carly: This is my problem. Disappear! It's my problem, all right. [
Henry leaves and Carly closes the door ] Now, how the hell am I gonna solve it?
>> Jack: [ Coming down the stairs ] I thought I heard somebody. Who was at
the door?
[ Simon & Katie's Cottage ]
>> Katie: So, what do you think?
>> Simon: I think you're nuts. These two people are nothing like us.
>> Katie: What are you talking about? Why are you resisting this?
>> Simon: Because of the way it ended. 
This
couple -- there's no way that I'm gonna compare us to this couple, no way.
>> Katie: Wait, what are you talking about? I didn't get to the end. What?
>> Simon: All right, look at -- listen to this. "Dear diary, I feel
like I have had my heart torn out of my chest. My darling Sam has gone
away."
>> Sam: Look, Katherine, it's gold. Pure gold.
>> Hank: Yeah, there's plenty more where that come from.
>> Katherine: Well, good for you, Hank.
>> Hank: Yes, ma'am.
>> Sam: They say a man can go in the valley a pauper and pan the rivers
and ride
out a prince.
>> Hank: True.
>> Katherine: What's this got to do with us? Why are you lookin' at me
like that? Sam? 
>> Sam: Give us a moment, will ya, Hank?
>> Hank: No, man, the rivers are overflowing with gold.
I tell ya, it's the chance of a lifetime. Whoo!
>> Sam: I'll meet ya outside, Hank.
>> Hank: Right. Yeah, I reckon I'll wait outside.
>> Sam: Yeah.
>> Hank: Ma'am.
>> Katherine: You're scaring me, Sam. What's wrong?
>> Sam: You always know how we said it's important to follow our dreams.
Goin' out west to make our fortune.
>> Katherine: Whither thou goest, I'll go. Where thou lodgest, I will
lodge.
>> Sam: No, no, my dearest. The west is wild and untamed. Too rough and
dangerous for a beauty like you. 
>> Katherine: You can't leave me. You love me.
>> Sam: Listen, don't make this more difficult than it is, okay? Say
good-bye, my girl.
>> Katherine: No!
>> Sam: Be strong, okay? This is not forever.
>> Katherine: No, I'm not letting you leave me. I'm not letting you go.
>> Katie: No, no, wait, this can't be it. It can't just end there.
There has to -- something else has to be here. Sam must come back filthy rich.
They must live happily ever after.
>> Simon: Honey, you dropped a note. From the family minister.
>> Katie: What does it say?
>> Simon: Katherine died of diphtheria. Sam never returned.
>> Katie: No. 
>> Simon: Yeah, the minister was instructed to stash this diary in the
house in case he ever did come back.
>> Katie: So what, they never had children?
>> Simon: No.
>> Katie: No heartwarming reunion? No growing old together?
>> Simon: I'm sorry.
>> Katie: All right, I was totally wrong. That is not our destiny at all.
>> Simon: Exactly. We don't need to go looking for our destiny in someone
else's diary, honey. We're gonna find our own destiny.
