Emily: All the airports and train stations are being watched. We can be fairly certain that Helena hasn't left St. Petersburg.
Nikolas: Yeah. Helena didn't choose this city on a whim. It's the ancestral home of the Cassadines. But it's also known for Russkaya Mafiya. The crime syndicate -- it's powerful here. Helena would have no trouble arranging my murder, leaving her free to bring up Spencer.
Emily: Helena's desperate to mold Spencer into the heir she's always wanted, but you'll still always be her precious grandson.
Nikolas: Yeah. You're the last person that I'd expect to harbor some sentimental illusions about my grandmother.
Emily: No, no, no -- don't -- don't get me wrong. Helena would kill me in a second. For all we know, that's why she lured us out here to St. Petersburg. If anyone needs to worry about an assassin, it's me.
Nikolas: No. Because I won't leave you alone, even for a second. She'll never even get the opportunity to hurt you, okay?
Emily: Well, that helps me to feel safer, but it doesn't get us any closer to Spencer or to Helena.
Nikolas: No.
Knock on door.
Nikolas: But I think I found someone who knows where to start looking. Ah, Arkady. Please.
Arkady: Prince Cassadine, wonderful to see you again.
Nikolas: Yes, yes. Please, let me introduce you to Emily Quartermaine.
Arkady: I'm honored to make your acquaintance.
Emily: Nice to meet you.
Nikolas: Arkady's family has worked for the Cassadines for generations. His cousins are still employed on Cassadine properties in Greece. Have you found anything out?
Arkady: Mrs. Cassadine is here. Young prince is with her.
Nikolas: Okay. Take me to my son immediately.
Arkady: I don't know where Mrs. Cassadine is staying as of yet. But she was seen yesterday visiting the old Cassadine palace. As you know, it has been converted to a museum.
Nikolas: Right, right. Trust my grandmother to take a baby who's less than a year old on tour of his heritage.
Emily: Well, at least Helena's consistent. That's going to make her easier to find.
Nikolas: Did she have any guards with her?
Arkady: Yes. They were Russkaya Mafiya, associated with Ivan Renko -- known for his heavily armed, very violent associates. He runs a major syndicate.
Nikolas: Okay.
Emily: If Helena's protected by a local crime lord, then -- then how are we going to get close to her, much less get Spencer away from her?
Nikolas: I want to meet with this Renko.
Arkady: Could be arranged, but it is terrible risk.
Nikolas: I want to meet with him within the hour, thank you.
Arkady: Yes, Prince.
Emily: Oh. Look, just because Helena won't kill you doesn't mean that Renko or one of his associates won't.
Nikolas: No, men like Renko are for sale to the highest bidder. And my pockets are deeper than Helena's.
Emily: You could be walking into a trap.
Nikolas: I'll take any risk, Emily, if it means getting my son back.
Nikolas: If Helena moves on with the connections she's made, who knows how long it'll take to find my son?
Emily: Look, granted, I don't speak one word of Russian, but I can read body language and you handled that situation perfectly. You were calm, you were in control. You were very much the prince.
Nikolas: Well, Emily, money is the universal language. I simply paid Helena's thugs more than she's paying. Anyone can do that.
Emily: No, not really.
Nikolas: I'm not even sure it worked. Just because this Renko agreed to the deal doesn't mean he's going to honor it. Here.
Emily: Gosh. You know, St. Petersburg is such a beautiful city, huh?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: You can almost imagine it a hundred years ago.
Nikolas: Yeah. We'd be living in the Cassadine Palace right now. It was a beautiful building conveniently located because during feasts and special occasions, you can just walk --
Emily: What?
Nikolas: I know why Helena's in St. Petersburg and where she's taking Spencer.
Priest: There's one body --
Helena: It's okay.
Priest: And one spirit --
Helena: What's he saying?
Priest: Even as you're called in one hope of your calling. What have you chosen for the name?
Helena: Nikolai Mikkos Nikolyevich Cassadine.
Nikolas: My son's name is Spencer.
