Rosanna has told Craig about Mike and Carly, and today Katie tells him that Rosanna hired Henry to spy on Carly.  Rosanna then tells Craig that Carly stole $50,000 from Monte Carlo to pay off Henry.  After she leaves Craig calls Henry and leaves him a message to meet him at Java.

"I hear you've been lookin' for me," says Henry, imitating Humphrey Bogart.  Craig tells him that Halloween is over, sit down.  Henry does and comments on the double mocha blend, it's delicious with extra cinnamon!  Craig cuts right through the small talk and tells Henry he needs some information.  "I like a man who gets down to business.  The going rate for information is $5000," says Henry.  "That's a little steep, Henry," says Craig.  Henry tells him he's free to shop around.  "OK, I like a man who knows his value," says Craig, "It's a deal."  He asks Henry if he has any information on Mike Kasnoff and Carly ... Snyder.  Henry says his business is "strictly cash and carry."  "Why would I bring that kind of cash to a coffee shop?" wonders Craig.  "That's what they all say," says Henry as he gets up to leave.  "Give me a call when you do have the cash."  Craig comments that he could get the info somewhere else, and Henry would be out $5000.  Convinced, Henry sits down and tells Craig he has a witness who can identify Mike as the man Carly slept with the night before her wedding.  Craig asks if Rosanna knows, and Henry says no.  She hired him to pull some fingerprints off a champagne glass but they turned out to be Craig's, and she knows Craig was out of town that night.  Craig surmises that she's still trying to figure it out.  Henry confirms that she has her suspicions about Mike, but no proof.  "That little cash cow is strictly mine."  "That's very enterprising of you, Henry," admires Craig.  He asks Henry if he's blackmailing Carly for $50,000.  "Craig, that would be highly unethical," protests Henry.  Craig observes that that's not an answer to his question.  "I have not and would not commit such an atrocious act," insists Henry, offended.  "End of discussion, end of meeting."  

Henry starts to leave and Craig gets up and grabs his tie.  He tells him not to tell Rosanna, or to have anything to do with Mike and Carly.  Henry agrees and Craig warns him that if he doesn't follow these orders, "I'll have you kidnapped by a libidinous biker gang and fed pork rinds for the rest of your life, understood?"  Henry says it's perfectly clear.  "Good," says Craig as he sits back down.  Henry tells him to send him the  money at the Lakeview by tomorrow.  Craig says he'll see what he can do, and Henry guesses that he doesn't intend to pay him.  "For what?" asks Craig innocently.  "That's not fair," protests Henry.  "I know," agrees Craig.  "Think of it this way, we'll always have Oakdale."

Today’s episode was directed by Maria Wagner and written by Craig Heller.

[ Java Coffee Shop ]
>> Henry: [ Imitating Humphrey Bogart ] "I hear you've been lookin' for me."
>> Craig: Halloween is over, Henry. Sit down.
>> Henry: Don't mind if I do. Hey, have you tried the double mocha blend here? You know, if you get a little extra cinnamon, it's delicious.
>> Craig: I need some information and I need it now.
>> Henry: I like a man who gets down to business. The going rate for information is $5,000.
>> Craig: That's a little steep, Henry.
>> Henry: Well, I totally understand if you want to shop around.
>> Craig: Oh, I like a man who knows his value. It's all right. It's a deal. Now what kind of dirt do you have on Mike Kasnoff and Carly Snyder?
>> Henry: Um, no -- now you're forgetting, Craig. My business is strictly cash and carry.
>> Craig: Well, why would I carry that kind of money to a coffee shop?
>> Henry: That's what they all say. Listen, give me a call when you do have the cash, all right?
>> Craig: All right. I could get the information somewhere else and you would be out $5,000.
>> Henry: I have a witness that can identify Mike as the man that Carly slept with at the Monte Carlo offices the night before her wedding.
>> Craig: Does Rosanna know about this witness?
>> Henry: She had me lift some fingerprints off a champagne glass, but the prints turned out to be yours. Of course, she knows that you weren't with Carly that night 'cause you were out of town.
>> Craig: So she's still trying to figure it out?
>> Henry: Yeah, I guess she has some suspicions that it's Mike, but she doesn't have the proof. Ah, that little cash cow is strictly mine.
>> Craig: That's very enterprising of you, Henry. But I have one further question -- are you blackmailing Carly for $50,000?
>> Henry: Craig, that would be highly unethical.
[ Craig laughs ]
>> Craig: Not an answer, Henry.
>> Henry: Well, I have not -- and would not -- commit such an atrocious act. End of discussion. End of meeting.
[ Henry stands to leave, and Craig grabs him by his tie ]
>> Craig: Now, you will not tell Rosanna you have any information of Carly and Mike Kasnoff. Is that understood?
>> Henry: No problem.
>> Craig: You will have no further contact with Carly and Mike Kasnoff. Is that understood?
>> Henry: Yeah, I can live with that.
>> Craig: All right. Now if you cannot live up to these, I will have you kidnapped by a libidinous biker gang and fed pork rinds for the rest of your life. Is that understood?
>> Henry: Yeah, it's perfectly clear.
[ Craig chuckles and sits back down ]
>> Craig: Good.
>> Henry: Just, uh, go ahead and send me the $5,000 to The Lakeview by tomorrow, okay?
>> Craig: I'll see what I can do, Henry.
>> Henry: You don't intend to pay me, do you?
>> Craig: For what?
>> Henry: That's not fair, Craig.
>> Craig: I know. But think of it this way, we'll always have Oakdale.
