August 12, 2004 Screencaps

Emily: I need to arrange a psychiatric evaluation for my fiancé.

Patricia: Is he having a problem?

Emily: Yeah, it's -- it's complicated. Nikolas comes from a very wealthy family --

Patricia: Mm-hmm.

Emily: And he recently suffered a head injury that affected his memory. His grandmother is using the accident as an excuse to have him committed so she can take control of his estate.

Patricia: Well, I'd be happy to evaluate him.

Emily: Thank you. Once I prove Nikolas is okay, this is all going to be over.


Door opens.

Helena: That's my grandson. Take him.

Nikolas: I'm not crazy.

Orderly: Hold him down!

Nikolas: Hey -- oh! Ah! I don't care what she's paying you! You can't do -- ah -- this.

Helena: Use the jacket.

Nikolas: You'll never get away with this -- you know that.


Emily: Nikolas, I have good --

Mary: He isn't here.

Emily: What?

Mary: Two men came and dragged him away.

Emily: I knew you were planning something.

Mary: No, it wasn't me.

Emily: You led Helena right to Nikolas.

Mary: She wanted me to help her, but I didn't.

Emily: You lying snake!


Nikolas: You -- you can't keep me in here, you know!

Helena: You will stay here as long as it takes me to get you well.

Nikolas: I'm not crazy and you know it! Just -- you can't --

Helena: Make yourself comfortable. This is your new home.

Nikolas: You can take the house, you can take the money, take it all! I just want my freedom! Get off of me!

Helena: This is not about money. It's about you, Connor.


Mary: By the time I got here, they were already putting Nikolas in a van. There was nothing I could do.

Emily: You set this all up.

Mary: No.

Emily: You tell me where Helena took him, Mary.

Mary: I don't know.

Emily: Did Helena promise to make Nikolas fall in love with you in return for your help, Mary?

Mary: It doesn't matter what she promised. I swear I didn't tell her anything.

Emily: Helena is cruel, Mary. She uses people. Nikolas is her grandson and she is trying to have him committed so she can steal his money!

Mary: God, I'm worried about him.

Emily: Well, then, tell me where he is!

Mary: I don't know.

Emily: All right, fine. I'm going to find out on my own.


Helena: Stop struggling, Connor.

Nikolas: My name is Nikolas Cassadine, and you know it!

Helena: Not yet, but it will be.

Nikolas: You're insane.

Helena: Oh, this is the chance I have prayed for, to wipe the slate clean, to rebuild you in your father's image, and when I'm done, Nikolas will be reborn as the glorious Cassadine prince.

Nikolas: You're psychotic. I'm going to kill you! I --

Helena: Oh, that's enough!

Nikolas gags.

Helena: Oh, look at you. Just look at you -- so strong on the outside, but you've never lived up to your potential. Now, your father was powerful and determined and magnificent. And you disgraced him. You've disgraced your family. You turned your back on us to devote yourself to that useless Emily Quartermaine.

Nikolas: Emily probably saved my life --

Helena: No. I intend to mold you into the man that you were born to be.

Nikolas: I will never give in to you! I'm going to -- oh!

Helena: No more! No more!

Nikolas: Oh!

Helena: That's it! Stop it!

Helena: Oh. I can be very resourceful, so resourceful. You know, the traits are there in your bloodline, in your genes, but first we must empty the vessel, break you down to nothing.

Nikolas: Oh -- oh.

Nikolas groans.

Nikolas: My name is Nikolas Cassadine! Nikolas Cassadine!

Helena: Not until I say so.


Emily: Lucky. Hey.

Lucky: Hey. I came as soon as I got your message.

Emily: All right, listen, Helena found Nikolas. She had him taken to Shadybrook for evaluation.

Lucky: Okay, then why did you ask me to meet you here?

Emily: Okay, I spoke with a psychiatrist earlier. I explained what Helena was doing and that Nikolas was completely sane, and she agreed to evaluate him, and I want you here when I speak with her. We need to take Dr. Grimes to Shadybrook right away.

Lucky: Okay, okay. All right, let's go.

Emily: All right. Okay. Wait, wait -- that's her now. Hi.

Lucky: What the hell are you doing here?

Emily: Your plan won't work, Helena. Nikolas is perfectly sane, and Dr. Grimes is going to prove it.

Patricia: I'm sorry, Emily, but after speaking with Mrs. Cassadine, I think that Shadybrook may be the best prope for her grandson.

Lucky: You can't just allow --

Patricia: Excuse me. I have a patient waiting.

Emily: You paid her off!

Helena: Nikolas has suffered long enough. He's completely unhinged.

Emily: You're the one who's crazy --

Lucky: Okay, just --

Emily: And if you hurt him --

Helena: Oh, I would never hurt my grandson. I am supervising his recovery. He's about to come into his own as the Cassadine prince. The Nikolas you knew is gone forever.

Lucky: Now, listen, this won't help Nikolas, okay?

Emily: Listen, if you hurt him, I'll get him away from you if it's the last thing I do!

Lucky: Emily -- Emily --

Helena: Nikolas is finally safe from your mediocrity. He's out of your reach. He's mine.

Orderly: Time for your shot. No!


Patricia: Tell me why you're fighting this, Connor.

Nikolas: My name's Nikolas Cassadine.

Patricia: No. You are Connor Bishop.

Nikolas: I know why you're doing this. My grandmother put you up to this.

Patricia: And that makes you very angry. Doesn't it? Hmm?

Emily: Nikolas!

Orderly: Miss -- miss, you can't go in there!

Emily: I have to see my fiance.
