Nikolas: I'm -- I'm sorry, but it's -- it's just that you continue to ignore the fact that Jerry could tear your life apart at any time he chooses.
Emily: Okay. So your solution is to go after him?
Nikolas: It could take away his leverage.
Emily: Even though Jerry's warned us that if he dies, evidence linking me to espionage is going to be sent to the state department?
Nikolas: Yes, which is why I asked Alexis to find a way, any way, to prove you're innocent.
Emily: Alexis doesn't need to get involved as long as you leave Jerry alone.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, I just -- I can't -- I can't stand by like some helpless victim while he calls the shots. I can't do it.
Emily: Nikolas, my father died because of Jerry. I don't want any more trouble.
Nikolas: So you would -- you would rather continue to be a hostage, knowing that at any moment you could be charged with espionage? You'd rather do that?
Emily: If it means keeping you safe, yes.
Nikolas: I -- Emily, I can take care of myself.
Emily: Jerry's a murderer, okay? I don't want him killing you because you feel some need to rescue me.
Emily: Jerry was poisoning you, Nikolas. He said he was going to let u die if I didn't go to the bank with him.
Nikolas: But you -- but, Emily, you signed your name over to bank accounts that are linked to espionage.
Emily: I was trying to save your life!
Nikolas: No, I know -- I know that, but now your life is hanging in the balance and we're his puppets all over again, you see?
Emily: No, no, no. Nikolas, you're using all of this as an excuse to go after him, but you know that violence only breeds more violence.
Nikolas: That's the only language that he knows.
Emily: Nikolas, please. There is peace right now, okay?
Nikolas: What?
Emily: Everybody is balanced in this fragile little state of truce.
Nikolas: Right -- until he comes back an blows up another hotel.
Emily: No, no, no, Jerry's looking for a way out of this. He wants to end this, he wants to stay alive.
Nikolas: No, there's --
Emily: I'm the only insurance he has to make sure that happens.
Nikolas: There are too many people that he's hurt that I care about, and I want some justice for that.
Emily: You want revenge.
Nikolas: Yes. You're damn right I do.
Jax: Hi.
Alexis: Your brother coerced Emily into, essentially, what is an act of treason.
Jax: And I gather you're looking for ways to legally extricate her?
Alexis: Right. And yet there's another avenue that we need to pursue.
Jax: Right -- finding Jerry.
Alexis: Correct.
Jax: You think I know where he is.
Alexis: I think that you don't want to betray your family. I also think that you need to do what's right. You're my friend, and I need to be able to trust you.
Jax: The last me I saw Jerry, he was in his hotel room. We had an argument, I basically wrote him off. The next thing I knew, the window in his room was broken, either because he escaped or because somebody put him through it.
Alexis: Do you think that he's still alive?
Jax: The evidence against Emily hasn't been turned over to the authorities, so I'm assuming that Jerry's still alive, yes. Where he is or how to find him, I can't help you.
Alexis: You need to use everything at your disposal to find him, because I want you to find him before Nikolas does.
Emily: I don't need you trying to save me, I can live with things the way they are.
Nikolas: Yeah? Well, I can't.
Emily: Nikolas, nothing has gone the way Jerry planned, okay? Now he's just trying to stay alive -- this whole thing against me could even be a bluff.
Nikolas: What? Emily, the man shot Robin just to keep us all in line, he -- he hurts people for fun and amusement.
Emily: Yeah, but, see, it's different now -- Jerry's reconnected with his family. Jax has a wife, he has stepchildren, their mother's been visiting.
Nikolas: So what?
Emily: So Jerry is in the worst mess of his life, and he doesn't want it hurting his mother and his brother.
Nikolas: So -- so you're telling me that -- that you think Jerry has somehow miraculously rediscovered his humanity, is that it?
Emily: No, I'm telling you that I think there's a possibility that he could love his brother enough to keep the peace.
Nikolas: Well, I don't believe that, and deep down, I don't think Jax does, either.
Nikolas: Living in denial of this is -- is not a solution.
Emily: Nikolas, I told you, I don't want you avenging me.
Nikolas: Okay, but what about all the people that he could potentially hurt in the future? What about them?
Emily: I don't know. We can't speculate.
Nikolas: "We can't --" you were at the Metro Court, right? You were, so you -- you know what he did. He will use his leverage against you because he can, which is why we need to stop him before he gets a chance to do that.
Alexis: I spoke to Jax, he's using all his resources to find Jerry.
Emily: Do you think he's going to tell you if he finds him?
Alexis: Yes, I do. And I'm ask-- I'm begging you to stay out of it.
Alexis: I think that Jax is the best person to find Jerry.
Nikolas: Okay,? Jax tells Jerry to disappear, and then he goes scot-free?
Emily: Nikolas, please stay out of this.
Nikolas: The two of you seem to be forgetting who -- who Jerry really is and, why, because you're -- because you're afraid for me? Well, let me handle this the way I see fit.
Alexis: I know you want revenge -- I don't blame you -- and I know you don't care about the consequences. But there will be consequences, Nikolas, so you need to find another way.
Emily: Alexis is right. If you don't stop, you're going to be the one who's destroyed.
