Emily: Nikolas!
Helena: I'm afraid he won't hear you.
Emily: What did you do to him?
Helena: I would never hurt my darling grandson. All I've ever tried to do was protect him and encourage him to fulfill his destiny, but I have to save him from leeches like you and Aunt Alexis.
Emily: I love Nikolas.
Helena: Oh, love -- see where it's gotten you? Oh, but you put up a good fight. Brava. No, but not that you ever stood a prayer.
Emily screams.
Nikolas: Drop -- drop it. Drop it!
Helena: She will not have you, Nikolas! She has to die. Don't you understand? It's the only way to set you --
Nikolas: The knife -- drop it!
Helena: Oh -- oh --
Nikolas: You all right?
Nikolas: You can join my father in hell.
Nikolas pushes Helena off bluff and Helena screams.
Nikolas: You all right?
Emily: Can you see her?
Nikolas: There's no way she could've survived that.
Nikolas: Emily, where are you?
Emily: I'm here, near the edge. Did you find Helena’s body?
Nikolas: Only this. It was on a branch close to the rocks. I've looked all around, but there's no sign of her. It's a couple hundred feet down, the water's ice cold, the current's way too strong -- she has to be dead. I killed my own grandmother.
Nikolas: Ironic -- if Helena weren't dead, she'd be proud of me. I killed my own grandmother just like a true Cassadine would.
Emily: Nikolas, Helena had been terrorizing you. She had you locked up in a mental asylum. She gave you mind-altering drugs. She tried to kill me, Nikolas. You did it to save me.
Nikolas: I did the same thing to Mary, Emily. You know, I reached that point -- you know, that point, then -- bang! -- Just like that. You should go. You should go while you still have a chance, Emily. You need to leave.
Emily: Nikolas, I’m not going to let you do this. You're a kind, loving, generous person --
Nikolas: No, I'm a killer just like every Cassadine before me! I have that instinct. I'll never get rid of it!
Emily: It was an accident.
Nikolas: What? I threw her off the cliff. I told her to join my father in hell.
Emily: That's not what I saw. Helena was holding a knife on me. She was backing me towards the edge of the cliff. You told her to leave me alone, and she refused. She -- she grabbed me, she put the knife to my throat, she threatened to kill me right there. You tried to pull her away from me. She pulled back. She lost her balance and went over the side of the cliff.
Nikolas: No, Emily, we both know that's a lie.
Emily: It's the truth if we let it be, Nikolas.
Nikolas: It's another murder, Emily! When's it going to end? Is it ever going to end?
Emily: No one has to know what happened except us. All we have to do is tell the police the same story. Nikolas, please.
Nikolas: Please, that's only part of it. You will never forget what you saw me do here tonight.
Emily: Nikolas, I saw you protect me, fight against a woman who would do anything to kill me. That is what I’ll remember, Nikolas -- your bravery and your love.
Nikolas: I should turn myself in.
Emily: The police were already looking for Helena. She threatened Alexis at knife point, and she's suspected of killing Mary and that nurse. You say that it was an accident, and they'll be happy to believe you.
Nikolas: I can’t.
Nikolas: If I lie about what happened tonight, then I’ll be the Cassadine that Helena always wanted -- violent, ruthless, no morals, no conscience, no nothing.
Emily: If you tell the truth, Nikolas, you could wind up in prison.
Nikolas: Well, I'm a killer, Emily. Maybe that's where I belong.
Emily: You would be giving Helena what she wants. You would be separating us for years, maybe a lifetime. Are you going to let her do that to us? Even after she's dead?
Nikolas: I can't hide from what I did.
Emily: Nikolas, I never thought that I could say this about another human being, but that woman deserved to die. You did the world a favor tonight.
Nikolas: Well, okay. If the court sees it that way, then that's the way --
Emily: I am not going to let it to the courts. You saved my life. You shouldn't be punished for that!
Nikolas: I love you, okay? But it's never going to --
Emily: Well, then, prove it, Nikolas! Let Helena’s legacy of misery die with her and stay with me!
Tracy: Emily? Nikolas? Oh, there you are. You both all right?
Nikolas: What are you doing here?
Tracy: I -- well, I came to warn you. Helena is on the loose, and I'm afraid she's going to try to kill Emily again.
Nikolas: She was here tonight. And there was an accident.
Nikolas sighs.
Nikolas: I came out into the clearing, and Helena had a knife on Emily, backing her up towards the edge of the cliff.
Mac: Did she know you were there?
Nikolas: No, not at first she didn't. I heard -- I heard Helena threatening Emily, so I knew I -- I knew I had to be quick, so I stepped out and told her to -- told her to stand back.
Mac: What did Helena do next?
Nikolas: Put a knife to Emily’s throat. I told her to drop it. She said that she would slit Emily’s throat before she allowed her to marry me. I -- I begged her to leave us alone and allow us to live our lives in peace, but -- look, I did everything I could, but she wouldn't back off. Anyway, I tried to grab Emily and pull her away from Helena, but Helena pulled her back, and her feet -- I guess her feet went out from underneath her and she tried to reach out to break her fall, but there wasn't anything there. She went backwards over the cliff.
Mac: Did you try to stop her from falling?
Nikolas: It -- it just -- it happened so fast, Mac, and, you know, Emily and I, we ran to the edge of the cliff, but it was too dark. We couldn't -- I mean, we couldn't see her.
Mac: No sign of the body?
Nikolas: Okay, I ran down to the water, hoping to find her, but there wasn't anything there, just her scarf.
Mac: Okay. Emily, would you come in here, please? Nikolas just gave a detailed account of Helena’s death.
Emily: It was awful, Mac.
Mac: I'm sure it was. But I don't believe a word Nikolas just said. You told your story clearly, you had all your details in place, but something about it still doesn't make sense.
Emily: I was there. I can tell you what happened.
Mac: You seem to think that her death could have been prevented, that you could have stopped it from happening if you'd done something else.
Nikolas: Maybe I could have.
Mac: Helena was lethal. There was no stopping your grandmother once she had her mind set on doing damage, Nikolas. Look, I'm sorry for your loss, but her death was accidental. I'm not going to let you take the blame for it.
Emily: I told him the same thing.
Mac: Is there anything you want to add to the statement?
Emily: No.
Mac: We'll continue to search for the body, but I'm prepared to call it an accidental death. No charges will be brought. As far as I'm concerned, this case is practically closed.
Lucky: So she's really gone?
Nikolas: Yeah. There's no way she could've survived that.
Lucky: Well, she deserved what happened.
Emily: Lucky's right.
Nikolas: Are you ready to go home?
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: Okay.
Emily: Bye.
Nikolas: Talk to you tomorrow.
Lucky: Yeah.
Emily: Are you still upset about lying to the police?
Nikolas: I'm trying not to be.
Emily: Nikolas, it was the right thing to do. You know, Helena’s gone, the case is closed. We never have to think about it again.
Nikolas: What's this?
Nikolas picks up a note.
Nikolas: Hmm.
Emily: What does it say?
Nikolas reads the note, it reads, 'I Saw What You Did'.
