Reporter: I'm here at the triage area outside the Glencoe Tunnel where an unknown number of passengers are trapped inside following a train collision. Rescue efforts have been hampered by the poor conditions of the tunnel, which has collapsed at both entrances.
Lulu: I knew you would leave Nikolas in that tunnel.
Luke: There was a cave-in. I had to get your brother out.
Lulu: I have two brothers, whether you want to admit it or not! I will never forgive you for this.
Luke: That's your prerogative, Lulu. But I'll tell you this -- if I have a choice between my son and a Cassadine, I'm taking my son out every time. He had a piece of jagged metal sticking out of his gut and he was bleeding to death. I did the best I could.
Nikolas: I think I found the leak.
Elizabeth: Can you fix it?
Nikolas: Come on, stay awake.
Elizabeth: Oh. Oh.
Nikolas: All right, we need to get away from it, okay? The air's better over here. Come on. Come on, just stay awake.
Elizabeth: I'm just so tired.
Nikolas: I know.
Elizabeth: I'm tired and I don't feel good.
Nikolas and Elizabeth cough.
Elizabeth: Oh -- oh --
Nikolas: It's okay.
Emily: I'm not a doctor, I'm a med student. I'm not qualified to practice medicine, much less --
Alexis: If you do the C-section, will it save the baby?
Emily: I don't know.
Ric: Okay, look, the contractions have slowed down, right? Isn't there any way we can wait just a little while longer?
Alexis: If we wait, will it endanger the baby?
Emily: It could.
Alexis: Then you have to do it. You have to forget about me, Emily. Save the baby.
Elizabeth: Do you think Lucky's okay?
Nikolas: Well --
Nikolas coughs.
Nikolas: Probably at the hospital right now wondering where we are. Listen, you're going to have a great life together, you and Lucky and Cameron, okay? Just like you were telling me. What's the first thing you're going to do when you get out of here? Hmm?
Elizabeth: I'm going to find Lucky.
Nikolas: And then what?
Elizabeth: We're going to go on our honeymoon.
Nikolas: Hmm. And then what?
Elizabeth: I'm going to take -- I'm going to take so many pictures, have them developed, and then have a closed dinner at Kelly’s.
Nikolas: Mm-hmm.
Elizabeth: So we can tell you and Em all about out trip.
Nikolas: I see. Yeah, we're trapped in a cave, and you're still trying to play matchmaker for me and Emily. You don't give up, do you?
Elizabeth: Never.
Scraping
Elizabeth: Nikolas --
Nikolas: What is it? Somebody's out there.
Elizabeth: Yeah. I think someone's digging on the other side.
Nikolas: Hello? Hello, we're in here!
Elizabeth: Someone -- is somebody out there?
Nikolas: We're in here!
Luke: Lucky's still in surgery? Is it good or bad? Well, I'll get there as soon as I can, but I -- I need to stay here and get some information about Elizabeth. Lucky would want that. Okay, call me as soon as he's out of surgery.
Skye: How's Lucky?
Luke: He's hanging in.
Tracy: Can't we just go home and watch this on the news?
Skye: Tracy, don't you even care that Emily’s trapped here?
Tracy: If I could pull her out and shove you in, I would.
Luke: Play nice, wife. You too, Blaze, or I'm going to make the both of you baby-sit my sweet pea.
Jax: Elizabeth, you okay?
Nikolas: Watch your head.
Elizabeth: Just get us out of here.
Jax: Okay, come on, I got you, I got you.
Nikolas coughs.
Mac: Come on. Come on, Elizabeth. Watch your head. Watch your head. Careful. We got two.
Jesse: Two?
Mac: Careful. Come on down. Gentle. That a girl. Here, sit down. Sit. Come on.
Elizabeth: Is Lucky okay?
Jax: Yeah, they took him to the hospital.
Elizabeth: They did?
Mac: Have you seen Robin Scorpio?
Elizabeth: What?
Nikolas: She's here?
Mac: She was on the commuter train from Manhattan bringing medicine to Jason.
Elizabeth: Oh, my God.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, Mac. I haven't seen her.
Mac: Well, keep looking for her.
Jesse: All right, let's go.
Mac: Come on, get them out.
Jesse: Let's go.
Jax: No, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving without Courtney.
Nikolas: Neither am I.
Alexis: No, oh, ow. God!
Emily: All right, listen, try to relax, Alexis.
Ric: Alexis? Are you all right?
Alexis: They're getting stronger.
Ric: The medication must be wearing off.
Emily: Just take a deep breath.
Courtney: Ric, we got to get her out of here. We got to get her out. We can't afford to wait for her.
Ric: Courtney, I can't leave her at this point.
Courtney: Well, I can't just stand around and watch Alexis die!
Alexis: Oh! Ow!
Ric: All right. All right, breathe, breathe. Breathe, breathe, please.
Alexis: Emily, you got to do the C-section. Figure out some way to do it.
Ric: Okay, okay, we will. Listen to me. But you got to do your part. You got to hold on. Your children need you, Alexis. Come on. Come on. You can't die.
Ric: All right, just hold on, okay? Alexis? Alexis, are you with me?
Alexis: I'm --
Ric: You okay?
Alexis: I'm worried about the baby.
Ric: I know, I know. It's all right.
Noise.
Emily: Did you hear that?
Ric: What?
Robin: Hi. Is everyone okay?
Ric: Jason?
Emily: Oh, God, I'm so glad you're here.
Ric: Jason, what --
Robin: Hi, Emily.
Emily: Hey, Robin. Oh, good. Thank God you're here. Alexis needs a doctor.
Alexis: And your timing couldn't be better.
Ric: Are you okay?
Robin: Hi.
Emily: She's fully dilated. The contractions are regular. The baby's lodged in the pelvis.
Robin: Okay. All right, just try and take it easy.
Alexis: Emily says I need a C-section.
Emily: I'm just a med student. Maybe you have a different opinion.
Alexis: Do you know how to do a C-section?
Robin: If there's no other way. Alexis, do you remember that I'm H.I.V.-positive, but my viral --
Alexis: Robin?
Robin: Yes?
Alexis: I don't care. I just want to know if you can do a C-section.
Robin: Okay. Yes, I can.
Emily: We've got a first-aid kit, latex gloves --
Robin: Even better.
Ric: Okay, before this goes any further -- I'm Ric Lansing. I'm sorry. I'm the husband and the father.
Robin: Robin -- um -- everything's going to be fine.
Ric: Okay.
Robin: Now, let me just -- can you get us some water, please?
Ric: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Robin: Thank you.
Ric: You just stay right here, okay?
Robin: Okay.
Ric: I'll be over here if you need me. Hey, did you see Courtney?
Jason: No. She was here?
Ric: She ran off to try to get help. Sonny and Reese are out there, too.
Sam: Sonny? What was Sonny doing --?
Ric: He was on the train. He came on the train at the last minute.
Jason: When did they leave?
Robin: I can still feel some movement. We have to get this baby out now. Let's get you into the car. Can I have some help over here?
Ric: It's going to be okay.
Robin: Okay, were you able to find a knife anywhere on the train?
Emily: No.
Jason: Use mine.
Robin: Well, it's nice to know you haven't changed.
Emily: We're in luck. I found a fishing kit and I also found a mini sewing kit.
Alexis: Well, that doesn't sound reassuring.
Robin: I think the fishing line will be better for the sutures.
Alexis: If you say so.
Ric: Okay, Alexis, if you're not sure about this, you need to say something right now.
Alexis: There's no choice here, is there? Just get it over with.
Robin: Get me a tray for the instruments, and some towels, if you can find any.
Ric: What about the anesthetic?
Emily: A bunch of these survived the crash. Here.
Alexis: That can't be good for the baby.
Robin: Alexis, none of this is good for the baby, but we're trapped, and I don't think anyone's coming to rescue us, so we don't really have any other options.
Alexis: In that case, bottoms up.
Jax: Looks like this caved in, as well.
Nikolas: The whole mountain's crumbling from the inside.
Jax: Makes you wonder why the railroad didn't update the tunnel years ago.
Nikolas: Yeah, well -- Courtney. Courtney!
Jax: She's here?
Nikolas: Courtney?
Ric: Thanks, Emily. It's all right, it's all right. Better?
Alexis: Looks like you could use a drink of that.
Ric: Well, I think you need it more.
Alexis: Hmm. That's true. That way, if you're sober, they'll be no more embarrassing declarations of who you slept with or who slept with you or who slept with me --
Ric: You're never going to let me live that down, are you?
Alexis: No, no. Doesn't matter.
Ric: No, it matters, Alexis. It does matter.
Alexis: I'm going to die. Doesn't really matter who you sleep with. You can sleep with whoever you want.
Ric: You're not going to die.
Alexis: Everyone's going to die sooner or later, Ric. I'm just going to die sooner.
Ric: Alexis, listen, you survived a childhood with Helena Cassadine. I think a C-section in the middle of a cave is -- pales in comparison.
Alexis: You should really be a little more fatalistic. It cuts the little disappointments out of life.
Ric: Look at me. You are not going to die.
Alexis: Promise me you'll take care of my children.
Ric: Of course I will. I love them and I love you.
Alexis: I know I'm dreaming.
Robin: Tie off as many bleeders as you can. Keep the blood out of my way. We'll work as quickly as possible.
Emily: Okay.
Robin: The risk is obvious, but we can get Alexis and her baby out of here alive.
Nikolas: Courtney?
Jax: Are you all right?
Nikolas: You okay?
Courtney: Nikolas? Oh --
Nikolas: I'm right here.
Courtney winces.
Courtney: Ow.
Jax: Hey, you okay?
Courtney: Yeah.
Nikolas: Sit up.
Courtney: Yeah, I think so.
Nikolas: What -- what are you doing here? You were supposed to stay back with the others.
Courtney: Yeah, Alexis -- she's in labor. They have to perform a C-section and they're running out of time. I need to get help.
Jax: You said that you'd stay put until I came back with a rescue crew.
Courtney: I know, but I wanted to try and find my own way out, Jax.
Jax: Yeah, but damn it, you need to be a little more careful for yourself and the baby.
Courtney: I am all right.
Nikolas: So what happened?
Courtney: I don't know -- I must have just tripped and hit my head.
Jax: That's because these tunnels are death traps. Nobody should be wandering through them alone.
Courtney: Yeah, well, you did.
Jax: Especially you.
Nikolas: All right, listen -- that's enough, all right? We get that you're obviously worried about Courtney and her baby. Will you just relax and let her do what she believes is right?
Alarm.
Courtney: Nikolas?
Jax: Get out of here.
Courtney: Where is he?
Jax: Come on. Come on.
Courtney: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We have to get him out of here.
Jax: Courtney, Courtney --
Nikolas: Just go. Just go. There's no time. Just get out, now!
Courtney: Can't leave him now. I'm not going to leave him!
Ric: Alexis? Hey, counselor? I'm a better lawyer than you are. All men lawyers are better than women, anyway, right? She's out. Son of a --
Robin: Okay. Ric, can you get the light, please?
Ric: Yep.
Robin: Vodka.
Ric: Don't let them die, okay?
Robin: Listen to me. Look at me. I'm going to do my best, okay? But I need your help. Don't panic. If you want to save Alexis and the baby, just stay calm and follow directions.
Ric: Okay. I'll do whatever it takes.
Robin: Okay. We ready?
Ric: Yeah.
Robin: Okay. Knife, please.
