Emily: Shouldn't the counteragent be taking effect by now?
Nikolas: My -- my chest --
Patrick: Heart rate and B.P. are spiking. Counteragent isn't working.
Emily: What do we do now?
Thunder.
Nikolas: It's not working.
Emily: Then Robin and Patrick are going to keep looking until they find something that does.
Nikolas: Craig is the only one who can stop this, Emily.
Robin: No, no, no, he wanted you to believe that. We don't know if that's true.
Nikolas: Okay -- look, listen to me, there's a few things that you and I need to discuss --
Emily: You're going to beat this!
Nikolas: Listen -- listen to me. I know that you don't want to think about me dying --
Emily: You're not dying.
Nikolas: But you need to be prepared in case it happens --
Emily: Stop talking like this, Nikolas! I'm not going to let you give up on me!
Patrick: No one's giving up. Robin and I are going to work on this until we find a treatment.
Nikolas: Listen, you guys have done everythg you can. Okay? Would you please promise me? I -- I don't want to be kept alive by -- by machines.
Emily: No, Nikolas, those machines can save you -- look at what they did for Lucky after the train wreck. Everybody was convinced that he wouldn't survive, but he did, and you will, too.
Nikolas: Robin -- Robin, please. If this happens, you -- you just let me go -- go. Please.
Thunder.
Patrick: We're doctors. Keeping you alive is part of our job description.
Nikolas: I -- I just don't want to spend the next however many weeks in this hospital bed with a tube down my throat.
Patrick: Nikolas, we can still find a treatment.
Nikolas: That's my point -- if you don't.
Emily: What, so that's it? You're just going to let Craig win?
Nikolas: Emily, once this -- once this hits my lungs, my breathing shuts down and I suffocate. Before that happens, I need to make my wishes clear --
Emily: Nikolas --
Nikolas: To everyone. Look, I -- if I'm going to die, want to die with just a little bit of dignity left in me, okay?
Robin: If you need a respirator to help you breathe, we're going to put you on it.
Thunder.
Robin: But if we've exhausted all other possibilities and there is no cure, I promise you, we'll respect your wishes.
Nikolas: Thank you.
Robin: Okay -- um -- get some rest. We'll be back to check on you in a bit.
Nikolas: Please -- please -- please, baby. If this happens, please don't fight Robin on this. Okay? Will you just let me go, and focus on raising my son? Will you do that for me?
Emily: Nikolas, Spencer is not going to need me to take care of him.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: He's going to have you in his life for a very long time.
Nikolas: Oh, I hope so. I hope so. But if that doesn't happen -- if that doesn't happen, there's some things I need to say to him while I still have a chance.
Emily: Hey. Norma and Spencer are leaving Wyndemere right now. It might take them a while to get here because of the weather.
Nikolas: Okay.
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: If they don't -- if they don't make it in time, you have to -- you have to tell him how much I love him. Will you tell him that for me?
Emily: Yes, I will. I will, Nikolas, but you tell him all the time.
Nikolas: He -- he won't remember. He won't remember, he won't have one single memory of me.
Emily: Hey, why are you so convinced that you're going to die, huh? There's still a chance that Robin and Patrick could find a treatment to counteract this poison.
Nikolas: Look, I'm sorry -- I'm sorry I wasted so much time with you. I'm sorry --
Emily: No, Nikolas -- hey, you listen to me. What happened to the Nikolas who wouldn't let me give up when I was losing my battle with cancer? Huh? You stayed here in the hospital, in the room next to mine, sitting against the wall, willing me to live -- and I did because of your love. I'm just as determined to keep you with me. So instead of preparing for the worst, you focus on everything that you have to live for -- like your son.
Nikolas: I'm so in love with you. I don't want to leave you.
Robin: His stats are down to 92%.
Patrick: We need to start you on oxygen.
Nikolas: No, not yet.
Robin: Nikolas, you can barely breathe.
Nikolas: Not yet.
Emily enters the room with Spencer in her arms.
Emily: Look who's here.
Nikolas: Hey. Come here. Come to Daddy. Hey.
Emily: Here we go, buddy.
Emily places Spencer on Nikolas' chest.
Nikolas: Come here. Oh, yes.
Emily: He's very happy to see you, huh?
Nikolas: Hey, buddy.
Robin chuckles.
Nikolas: Oh. Hmm. Could you give us a few minutes, please?
Robin: Yeah, yeah, we'll -- we'll be in the lab if you need us.
Nikolas: Thank you. Oh-oh. I know. All I ever wanted was to give you a chance to experience all the wonderful opportunities in this awesome life. That's all I ever wanted for you. I love you so much. No matter where I am, I'll love you so much.
Monitor beeps.
Emily: How's he doing?
Patrick: His stats are down to 88%.
Patrick sighs.
Emily: Here, Robin -- I'm here, Nikolas. You just try to relax.
Robin: No, no -- listen to Emily, you have to keep your strength. Just keep it on, please. Make it quick.
Nikolas: I -- I love -- I love --
Alarm.
Robin: He's seizing.
Emily: Nikolas -- Nikolas!
Robin: Give him lorazepam, two milligrams, I.V. Push.
Patrick: I'm going to intubate him.
Nikolas gasps.
Emily: Oh, my God.
Jerry: Yes, hello. I'm checking on a patient who was recently admitted, his name is Nikolas Cassadine. Could you possibly tell me what room he's in?
Siren.
Jerry: Blast.
Music plays.
Kelly: She's in v-fib. Get the crash cart ready, charge to 200.
Epiphany: Charged for 200.
Kelly: Give me one minute. The baby's out. Go ahead.
Jerry: Is there -- is there a problem, Officer?
Robin: B.P.'s falling.
Emily: Don't you dare leave me, Nikolas, you kp fighting! You keep fighting!
Alarm.
Robin: Code blue!
Singers: Ooh ooh ooh
Lucky: License and registration, please.
Jerry: Oh, sure. Here you go.
Patrick: Breathe, damn it.
