Luke in a distorted voice: Ring. Bon jour. Buenos Dias. Bon dia. Good morning. Rise and shine, Mrs. Cassadine. Praise the day.
Helena: Whoever you are, you have made a fatal mistake.
Luke in a distorted voice: Madam Cassadine, is that a threat?
Helena: Oh, what is this place? Where am I?
Luke in a distorted voice: Think of it as home.
Helena: Where is this? We still in Port Charles? Oh, Nikolas? Nikolas, is it you? Oh, my darling, if it is you, I'm so proud to see you taking initiative.
Luke in a distorted voice: If you want to know who's to blame for this -- and so many other atrocities -- look in the mirror.
Helena: What is -- is this some sort of riddle?
Luke in a distorted voice: You have something I want, Madam Cassadine. Tell me where it is, or watch yourself turn into a skeleton.
Lucky: I ran a check on flights, trains, border crossings. There's no sign that Helena left the country.
Nikolas: She can be invisible when she wants to be.
Emily: Maybe she's realized we were trying to steal the treasure and she's gone someplace to hide it.
Nikolas: Yeah -- or she's liquidating it and we'll hear from her again when she gets the cash.
Lucky: Listen, I got to get back to work. Every cop is hunting for Zander.
Emily: Lucky, will you look out for him, please?
Lucky: If I find him, I'm bringing him in.
Emily: Just please make sure that he doesn't get hurt, okay? If Zander did shoot that cop, he deserves a chance to defend himself in court.
Lucky: Emily, I’ll do what I can.
Emily: I hope Lucky --
Nikolas: Why do you continue to protect Zander? Are you completely blind?
Nikolas: You keep holding on to the Zander that you once knew, Emily --
Emily: Yeah, I did know him better than anyone else in his life. Maybe I still do, Nikolas.
Nikolas: You've cut him a lot of slack over the years.
Emily: I know he's made some terrible mistakes, but --
Nikolas: He's made his way thanks to people like you and Alexis and Gia pulling him out of the holes he digs for himself, but in the end, it doesn't do any good, does it? He's an accident waiting to happen. I mean --
Emily: You're entitled to your opinion.
Nikolas: Look at him now, Emily. He's self-destructive, vengeful, works for --
Emily: There's good in him, too, but I hurt him so badly and it's just buried inside, Nikolas.
Nikolas: Why do you insist on blaming yourself?
Emily: We were married, Nikolas! You know, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me!
Nikolas: Okay, the marriage didn't work. It didn't work.
Emily: It's not that simple.
Nikolas: As long as you keep making this your fault, Zander will keep manipulating you, and that scares the hell out of me. You know why? Because at this point, he's capable of anything.
Emily: Zander would never hurt me.
Nikolas: How can -- he already has. He blew up my freighter with you on it, Emily. It is only a matter of time before Zander hurts someone again. I don't want that to be you.
Footsteps.
Emily: Zander, what are you doing?
Zander: I'm in trouble, Emily. Maybe you can help me.
Luke in a distorted voice: Hungry yet?
Helena: Not particularly.
Luke in a distorted voice: Too bad. Caviar for starters. Hot veal piccata with lemon and capers, risotto on the side. Dessert -- chocolate champagne truffles. Speaking of champagne, would you care for a tall, cold glass?
Helena: No, thank you.
Luke in a distorted voice: All you have to do, Madam Cassadine, is tell me where the treasure is and it's bon appetit.
Helena: I'm watching my figure.
Luke in a distorted voice: Well, you're looking a tad thin from here.
Helena: Come, take a closer look.
Luke in a distorted voice: Maybe later.
Helena: Oh, I -- I would love to know who to thank for these delightful quarters. And if it isn't Nikolas who's threatening to starve me to death, could it be Alexis? Are you working for my husband's unfortunate little bastard?
Luke in a distorted voice: These questions are a waste of time. I can hear your tummy growling from here.
Helena: You're the desperate one, not I.
Luke in a distorted voice: Me? Think again. I'm sitting here comfortably with a crossword puzzle and a bottle of port. You could join me if you tell me where my heart's desire is.
Helena: I'd rather die.
Luke in a distorted voice: Suit yourself. Talk about your win-win situations.
Zander: Emily, look, I didn't -- I didn't shoot that cop, okay? The whole thing was a setup.
Emily: Like the one you tried to pull on Nikolas?
Zander: No -- look, Emily, if the cops find me, they are going to shoot me.
Emily: Zander, look, I'm sorry that you're in trouble --
Zander: Are you, or do you even care?
Emily: You should just leave!
Zander: I just -- I -- I had to -- I had to see you first.
Emily: I can't help you.
Zander: Emily, I’m innocent, okay? I swear.
Emily: Look, I'm not even sure that I believe you, but even if it's true, there's no way to prove it. The best thing you can do, Zander, is just leave.
Zander: You'd like that, wouldn't you, if I just got out of town, just disappeared? Just -- that would make your life so much simpler, wouldn't it?
Emily: Zander, please, let's not do this again.
Zander: What, don't make things messy? You're not the only one who wants me gone, Emily. I got Sonny, Carly, Alexis, Faith, even my own father -- everyone I’ve ever put myself on the line for has turned on me!
Emily: Yeah, well, then maybe you should just cut your losses --
Zander: You're the only one that matters to me, Emily, okay? We were married. I thought our love was forever. You made promises to me. I just -- I still can't believe that that was all -- I just -- I can't believe that.
Emily: Please, Zander --
Nikolas: Get your hands off her.
Zander: Did you ever love me?
Nikolas: I said take your hands off her!
Zander: Are you watching this, Emily?
Emily: Zander, put the gun down!
Zander: First, you're going to watch me kill your boyfriend.
