May 11, 2007 Screencaps

Jerry: I knew that poisoning Nikolas wouldn't serve as leverage for so long. Although, I must confess that I didn't expect you to duplicate the counteragent so quickly.

Patrick: We were motivated -- you were poisoning our friend.

Jerry: Oh, your loyalty is so touching -- part of the reason why I needed a new form of leverage, which, thanks to Intern Emily, I now have.

Robin: No, it won't work, because I'm going to call the police right now and tell them that you forced Emily to open a bank account and accept the wire transfer.

Nikolas: Go get security, tell them to seal the doors.

Jerry: You may want to rethink that. You see, the American government won't take it lightly if they know that Emily accepted a transfer of funds from -- how do they say this -- "an enemy of the state"? You see, Emily is a co-conspirator in espionage, and since she's an American citizen and handled the transaction on U.S. soil, she's liable for treason -- a crime, quaintly enough, punishable by death in your country. Such barbaric laws.

Jerry: I'm very, very pleased by these turn of events. I mean, you're a far more valuable asset than Nikolas ever was, and -- and much prettier.

Nikolas: I've given you a new identity, a place to stay. You're conducting business under the umbrella of Cassadine --

Jerry: Oh, no reason to be jealous -- you were certainly useful in your own way.

Nikolas: I transferred millions of dollars into an account under your new identity. Why implicate Emily in this?

Jerry: Well, unfortunately, Michael Corinthos Jr. and his humorless but very efficient gunman don't give a damn if you die of poison, but they will move heaven and earth to save Emily from a state ordered execution. You see, Emily's participation in high crimes and misdemeanors could prove to be a very, very valuable bargaining chip.

Patrick: Well, why don't you just take the money and leave?

Jerry: I don't know. Perhaps I like you too much. Till next time.

Patrick: You've got to be kidding me. We finally have this thing solved, we find the counteragent to the poison, and now this.

Robin: Hey -- I would've done the same thing if I was in Emily's position.

Patrick: I'm not blaming Emily. It's just we were finally out from this guy's grip.

Emily: I knew what I was walking into. It was worth it to protect him.

Nikolas: Except Craig now holds your life in his hands, Emily.

Nikolas: The two of you are out of this now. Emily and I will deal with craig on our own.

Patrick: No, Nikolas, you're going to need some help.

Robin: We're just as invested as you are.

Patrick: Look, Craig is a psychopath and a murderer. Why don't we just go to the cops with this guy?

Nikolas: Because it's too risky.

Patrick: Emily is a law-abiding citizen with a distinguished family. The Feds are going to look at her -- her record and her personal history and realize that espionage is ridiculous.

Emily: Craig's a lot of things, but he's not stupid. He chose me for a reason. I was with Sonny for months, and he's known to be involved in organized crime. I'm not above suspicion, so this was a perfect trap.

Nikolas: What he's doing is taking advantage of the antiterrorism laws. If the government discovers that Emily accepted an illegal wire transfer, and acted as a front for espionage, they'll arrest and imprison her first, and then establish guilt or innocence whenever they get around to it.

Robin: Well, then we have to play along with Craig until we get some leverage against him, but how are we going to find that?

Nikolas: Well, as I said earlier, I overheard Craig on the phone with some woman, some woman that he obviously cares about -- or cares about him. We need to find this woman, then we'll go from there.

Emily: Look on the bright side -- you don't have to pretend you've broken up anymore.

Robin: Emily, you don't have to make this okay for everyone else. You're in serious trouble.

Patrick: We're not going to desert you. So why don't you just accept that we're all in this together?

Emily: Thank you.

Nikolas: Thanks, I appreciate it. Okay, go on.

Patrick: Get some rest.

Nikolas: Thanks.

Patrick: Can we go home?

Robin: By "home," do you mean your place?

Patrick: Yes -- and I'm not taking no for an answer.

Nikolas: I told you not to go anywhere with him, Emily.

Emily: Craig said he was going to kill you, Nikolas, if I didn't go along with him.

Nikolas: But that's -- that's his game.

Emily sighs.

Nikolas: Always trying to stay one step ahead of us, coming up with some new manipulation -- that's what he does.

Emily: You're not being poisoned anymore. That's all I care about.

Nikolas: It's easier to be brave when I'm the one that's in trouble, but when it's you?

Emily: I'm all right -- as long as I know you're with me.
