Judge: I've heard a lot of testimony concerning the late Helena Cassadine’s character, or the lack thereof. According to a parade of witnesses, she was cold, calculating, ruthless, even lethal. Unfortunately, Helena Cassadine wasn't available to testify on her own behalf to counter these many charges because she was thrown from a cliff by her own grandson. The accused has openly admitted to the crime and has displayed an utter lack of remorse. Therefore, Nikolas Cassadine, I sentence you to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Emily: Wait, no, please wait! Please!
Judge pounds gavel.
Judge: Order in this court!
Emily: Please! Please wait!
Judge: Order! Order in the court!
Monica: It's going to be okay. It's okay.
Judge: This court is adjourned.
Nikolas: Remember what we talked about. Remember what we talked about. It's going to be okay.
Emily: Okay.
Nikolas: I love you.
Emily: I love you, too. Wait. Wait, let go of him. Lucky, do something! Somebody do something!
Lucky: You promised him that you wouldn't do this.
Emily: This wasn't supposed to happen, Lucky.
Lucky: It's okay, it's okay.
Emily: It wasn't supposed to happen.
Lucky: It's okay, it's okay.
Monica: Sweetheart, listen, come home with us for a few days, okay?
Edward: Yeah, it would mean a lot to us, honey, to take care of you for a change.
Tracy: Even I have to agree. This is no time for you to be alone.
Emily: The only place that I’m going is to the police station to see Nikolas.
Alan: Listen, listen, I strongly advise against it. You've done as much as you can. The only thing you're going to accomplish now is to hurt yourself even more.
Emily: But I have to tell him that I love him --
Monica: He knows that. He knows that, Emily.
Emily: And that I’m going to wait for him.
Alan: Please, Darling, let us take you home.
Elizabeth: For God's sakes, Nikolas is Emily’s husband. Just let her tell him goodbye.
Emily: I have to go.
Monica: Okay.
Emily: Okay, bye.
Mac: You caught a raw deal, Nikolas. I'm sorry.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, what's done is done. Thank you for helping us.
Mac: No problem. Murphy?
Nikolas: Lucky, Lucky. I need you to do something for me.
Lucky: Just name it.
Nikolas: Make sure Emily doesn't come anywhere near me.
Lucky: No, you don't mean that.
Nikolas: No, listen, Mac is processing my transfer as we speak. By the time Emily gets here, I'll be shackled like an animal. She doesn't need to see me like that.
Lucky: You're not being fair.
Nikolas: Fair? Fair? What's fair? This? No, it's not, but that's the way things happened.
Lucky: It sounds like you're giving up.
Nikolas: Did -- were you listening when the judge sentenced me to life --
Lucky: Well, that doesn't mean it's going to happen. You know Alexis is going to fight like crazy because there are no grounds to stand on.
Nikolas: Until that happens, if that happens, you are my brother and I am asking something of you -- probably the last thing I'll ever need. Are you going to do it or not?
Emily: I'm not too late, am I? Nikolas is still here?
Lucky: Yeah.
Emily: Okay, where --
Lucky: Emily, wait, hold on a second.
Emily: I don't have time, Lucky!
Lucky: Em, he doesn't want to see you.
Emily: What?
Lucky: I'm sorry, but he asked for me to keep you away from him.
Emily: He's giving up, isn't he?
Lucky: Yeah, it seems that way.
Emily: All right, even more of a reason for me to get to him.
Lucky: But he doesn't want to see you. He made me promise.
Emily: Well, you shouldn't make promises that you can't keep, Lucky. I'm not going to let you push me away. I'm your wife, Nikolas, and we made promises to each other -- "Forever, for better, for worse" promises.
Nikolas: Please don't do this, please don't do this.
Emily: I swore to you before God and our family and friends that I would always be with you in my heart, that nothing would ever separate us where it matters, and those weren't just words, Nikolas, they were solemn vows, and I meant them.
Nikolas: I don't want you here!
Emily: Well, too bad, because I'm here, anyway, and I'm asking you not to shut me out.
Murphy: Time to get you moved. Let's go.
Lucky: Listen, I can handle this.
Emily: Lucky, please. Please, can't you just give us a little bit more time?
Lucky: If there were, it'd already be done.
Lucky: I can stall your prison transfer a few minutes; give you guys some time together.
Emily: Thank you, Lucky.
Nikolas: More than anything, I didn't want this to be your last image of me.
Emily: It doesn't matter. You're my husband, and I love you.
Nikolas: Please go. Please go, just go.
Emily: Wait, Nikolas, not yet.
Nikolas: Just go. Lucky? Lucky? Lucky!
Lucky: Yeah, yeah, what's going on?
Nikolas: Get her out of here.
Emily: Nikolas, please, don't do this. Don't do this.
Nikolas: This is the last thing that you can do for me, please.
Emily: Look, I'm not leaving.
Nikolas: Please, don't visit me in prison. I can never see you again, please.
Emily: I'm not going to let you turn me away.
Nikolas: If you love me, you'll do this for me. Get her out of here!
Lucky: Let's just go. Elizabeth. What do you think you just accomplished other than breaking her heart?
Nikolas: Don't you get it? Emily will come to prison, faithfully, on every visiting day! She'll stop her life for it! And one day she'll realize that she's in prison, too, Lucky. And I will beg her to leave me, to move on, but you know she won't do it. She'll keep showing up, but her heart won't be in it. And one day she'll know that I’m right, that she has to reclaim her life. But by then, it'll be too late. Too many pieces will be broken, and she won't be able to put her life back together, Lucky, and I can't let that happen. I -- I have to end it now.
Alexis: We have excellent grounds for an appeal, Nikolas.
Nikolas: Doesn't matter.
Alexis: Don't say that. Of course it matters.
Ric: There's a strong possibility we can get your sentence reduced, if not completely set aside.
Nikolas: "We"?
Ric: I'm completely behind Alexis on this one.
Alexis: The fact that McBride came in at the last minute -- it'll work for us, Nikolas.
Ric: Yeah, we can argue that he was insufficiently prepared.
Alexis: And we can get your initial confession thrown out because you were under duress and you didn't have counsel present.
Mac: The guards are here to take you to Pentonville.
Elizabeth: I'm sure Nikolas was just trying to protect you.
Emily: Yeah, I know. That's exactly what he was doing. Elizabeth, I was a mess today. But once I start visiting Nikolas, then he's going to see that I’m strong enough to get him through this, and I'm going to be there every single visiting day, and it'll, you know, give him something to look forward to, and he's going to realize -- he's going to realize how much I love him.
Elizabeth: Come here.
Alexis: Where's Lucky?
Mac: I had to order him out of the station. He was letting his feelings get in the way.
Nikolas: Let's just get this over with.
Mac: Let's go.
Alexis: Nikolas, no!
Officer: Freeze!
Alexis: Nikolas, no!
Officer: Everyone get down!
Emily: You know, it's funny. Usually, the way you can tell Nikolas is an aristocrat is by his beautiful manners, even under extreme circumstances.
Elizabeth: Like at the police station?
Emily: Yeah, but I know that he was dying inside and I would have done anything to hold him, you know, just to kiss him once more and tell him that everything was going to be ok, but he wouldn't -- he wouldn't let me.
Phone rings.
Mike: Kelly’s. She's right here.
Emily: No.
