Phone rings.
Elizabeth: Two East.
Nikolas: Hey, Elizabeth, it's Nikolas.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, hey. How are you?
Nikolas: Okay, I guess. Just got out of solitary. Is -- is Emily around? I want her to come visit me as soon as possible.
Elizabeth: She's in a class, she's in the lab doing something for her class. Hold on and I'll get her for you, okay?
Nikolas: No, no, no, I can't. I don't have that much time on the phone. Will you just tell her to come up here and tell her I can't wait to see her?
Elizabeth: Okay, I will. Bye. Em. Hey, Nikolas just called.
Emily: He's out of solitary?
Elizabeth: Yeah, and he wants to see you, right away.
Nikolas: Come here. Oh. I've missed you so much. Hi. You okay?
Emily: Uh, yeah, it's -- it's Lucky. The judge granted Luke's petition to take him off life support.
Nikolas: Oh, he won't go through with it.
Emily: You didn't hear Luke. He honestly believes that he -- he'll be setting Lucky free.
Nikolas: Well, I'm sure he meant what he said at the time, but I think when he's actually standing over Lucky, watching him breathe --
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: I mean, he loves Lucky too much to give up. He won't turn off those machines.
Emily: I'm praying that you're right. I can't lose Lucky, too.
Nikolas: Hey.
Emily: I'm sorry.
Nikolas: For what? What's wrong?
Emily: For, uh -- for not holding up as well as I should. I've been trying not to fall apart, but sometimes it's -- sometimes it's really hard.
Nikolas: Come here.
Nikolas: Oh, I've missed you so much. I've been living for all of your letters. I think about you all the time, you know that?
Emily: I think about you, too.
Nikolas: Oh. It's okay. Please don't cry.
Emily: It's just been -- so awful. Worse than you know.
Nikolas: Yeah, I know. Let's not try and think about the past right now, okay, or the future. Let's just -- let's just be together in this moment right here and forget about the rest of the world. You know, kind of like the way we did the last time we were in this room --
Emily: Nikolas, the real world isn't going away.
Nikolas: Okay. Well, do you think we can imagine that it will, just for a --
Emily: No, we can't! Your brother could be dying. Luke could be taking him off life support, and you can't stop it because you're trapped here in prison. Nikolas, it's not fair! None of this is fair!
Nikolas: I know what's happened.
Nikolas: Look, I know how difficult it is for you to come up here and see me like this.
Emily: You're the one that has to deal with prison life day in and day out.
Nikolas: I know. And it's changing me, in ways that -- in ways that I'm not aware of, but I see that you notice it and it's making you distant, like you don't know me the way you used to know me.
Emily: No, Nikolas --
Nikolas: It's okay, it's okay.
Emily: It's not you. You're the same wonderful man that i married. I'm just -- I'm just so afraid.
Nikolas: Hey. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. I'm going to get out of here soon and we'll have our lives back. I promise. Promise. Hey.
Emily: Don't! Don't touch me! Just leave me alone!
