As most of the episode takes place at Nikolas' Black and White Ball, the transcript is only indicative of things that pertain to Nikolas and Emily.

Carly's voice: They say when you're dying, you see a white light. I think you remember the face of someone you love.

Carly: So if I use this with my cell phone to call or text someone, you wouldn't know the call was coming from me?

Jax: No, you wouldn't be able to trace it back to your cell phone.

Carly: That doesn't make sense.

Jax: Why?

Carly: Because Leticia and Emily were both killed the same way, which means Anthony Zacchara killed them both. Who's been texting me?

Thunder.

Elizabeth: I don't know -- it just doesn't feel real that she's gone.

Nikolas mumbles.

Waltz music plays.

Nikolas: Emily?

Nikolas: Get away from him.

Emily gasps.

Nikolas: No! No! No! No, get away! Get away from -- Emily! Emily --

Nikolas: No --

Elizabeth: No, Nikolas -- you've been sedated, honey. I dot want you to move around, okay?

Nikolas: No, no, I want to be with her, okay?

Elizabeth: I just want you to rest.

Nikolas: No --

Jason: She's -- she's dead.

Nikolas: No, she isn't. No. That was -- that was just in my nightmare. It wasn't real! Baby -- oh -- oh, God -- oh, God, you're so cold. You're so cold. Why is she -- why is she so cold? Hey -- hey, it's me. It's me, Nikolas. You hear me? Oh, please speak to me. Please. Please -- God, I just need to hear your voice. Please, God -- oh. Please.

Nikolas: No. No. No. No, baby. How did this happen to you?

Thunder.

Nikolas: I was supposed to protect you. But I -- I failed, didn't I? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why did you come back in here?

Nikolas: I loved you. God, I loved you. I loved you so much. And now -- and now, I -- I killed you. I killed you.

Logan: Where were you, Johnny, when Emily was killed, huh?

Lulu: Johnny didn't strangle Emily, his father did.

Logan: Of course. The all-purpose excuse -- blame crazy father while you play the good guy.

Spinelli: Emily's death is a profound loss, not a weapon for the unworthy one to vent his --

Logan: Hey --

Spinelli: Jealousy of the competition.

Logan: Maybe I just don't want Lulu to be next, all right?

Lulu: I want to see Nikolas.

Johnny: You agreed to stay.

Lulu: Your father said he wouldn't try to kill me until sunrise. It's still dark.

Nadine: Oh, do we really have to do this again? I mean, every time you leave, you risk the lives of everyone lining up to save you.

Lulu: Look, I get that this isn't about me, but my brother's fiancée was murdered! Ok? I'm going to go help them. Will you take me?

Logan: Of course, come on.

Johnny: If we run into my father, I got a better chance of survival. Let's go.

Nadine: Look, try to calm down, okay? From what I've seen, Lulu's in a lot less danger than anyone else.

Elizabeth: Jason, he doesn't know what he's saying.

Jason: What -- what'd you just say? Nikolas, what's -- what's the last thing that you remember? Was Emily here when you got knocked out?

Nikolas' voice: You have to leave. You have to leave here, right now, because I can't protect you anymore. Come on, Emily, let's go.

Emily: Nikolas, no.

Nikolas: You have to go. No.

Emily: I'm -- I'm staying here.

Jason: Did you see someone attack Emily?

Nikolas: Jason, she wasn't supposed to be here. I wanted to protect her.

Lulu: Nikolas --

Nikolas: Hmm.

Lulu: I'm so sorry.

Nikolas: She said that we would spend the rest of our lives together. She said that. Well, tonight was the end of that, because there is no rest of her life. And it's my fault. It's my -- I did -- I did this to her. I did this.

Lulu: Well, you don't know what you're saying. You're --

Nikolas: What?

Lulu: You could never hurt Emily, Nikolas.

Nikolas: Oh, why is everyone trying to protect me?

Lulu: I'm sorry.

Nikolas: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know you're just trying to help.

Elizabeth: He just needs to work this out on his own right now.

Lulu: Well, you said your -- your father kills for fun. That's what you said. He's the one who did this, right?

Johnny: It seems that way.

Lulu: He's in shock. He doesn't know what he's saying. Johnny's father killed Emily.

Knock on door.

Coop: It's Coop -- open up!

Logan: Where have you guys been?

Georgie: Behind something called the north parlor with all the other servants and guests.

Coop: I took a tour of the entire house. The rooms are much too easily accessed, so I got Maxie and Georgie down here to a more defensible place.

Georgie: I'm really glad you're okay.

Maxie: "Glad"? You've been driving us crazy worrying about this nerd. You should be thrilled.

Georgie: I -- I was worried about everyone.

Spinelli: The jackal is -- is glad the faithful friend is also well, but --

Thunder.

Spinelli: We he some sad tidings. Emily's dead.

Georgie: What happened?

Nadine: She -- she was strangled to death.

Spinelli: Yeah, we -- we assume the assailant to be Anthony Zacchara.

Georgie: Oh, my -- that's awful. Poor -- poor Emily.

Spinelli: You know, it's -- it's time for us men to -- to leap into action.

Logan: "Us men"?

Spinelli: Yeah -- yeah. You two, your soldiery was honed during your -- your time in the field, and the jackal learned at the feet of stone cold. I mean, god, we got to take a stand.

Coop: I'm in.

Logan: We got one gun, Coop.

Spinelli: And courage. And --

Georgie: Oh.

Spinelli: The humble tools of the farrier. Come on, it's a start.

Coop: All right, hey, let's go. You stay here.

Maxie: You don't have to tell me twice.

Georgie: Um -- be careful, okay?

Spinelli: We will be more than that. We will find the monster before he strikes --

Logan: Less talk, more action. Come on, let's go.

Spinelli: We shall return victorious.

Logan: All right.

Nikolas: You told me tonight that you wanted to go to Italy. We had so many plans together, Emily.

Thunder.

Nikolas: How am I supposed to live this life without you?

Jason: This isn't right.

Elizabeth: Why are you staring at Nikolas like that? Zacchara did this. Nikolas could never hurt Emily.

Jason: I saw him.

Elizabeth sighs.

Elizabeth: Jason, I know his blackouts have been really bad and -- and he's been out of control, but he would never do something so completely against his own nature. Emily said it herself.

Jason: Emily was in love.

Gunfire.

Jason: Stay here.

Nikolas: No -- no.

Nikolas: I was planning a surprise for you -- Christmas.

Nikolas: It was a trip to Switzerland. We were going to stay in this little chalet in the mountains. Yeah. There's this -- this huge fir tree that grows just outside the front door there so we would have our very own Christmas tree to decorate.

Nikolas: How did you get away from me? You weren't supposed to get away from me. You -- but you did. I just wanted to spend Christmas with you, laughing and having fun like we always have together.

Nikolas: Oh, God. I'll -- I'll -- I'll never hear you laugh again at all. Never again.

Man: Ah!

Spinelli: Curses upon the evildoer! Huh -- yes! Yes! Yes! Oh! Fellow -- fellow soldiers of the night?

Spinelli: Guys -- huh!

Logan: Everybody doing all right in here?

Luke: We're okay. Where's Lulu?

Logan: Lulu's fine. Um -- she sent me back here to check on you. Uh -- I have something I need to tell you guys.

Tracy: What?

Logan: Emily Quartermaine was killed tonight. We believe Zacchara strangled her.

Tracy: I don't believe you.

Logan: I'm sorry. Maybe I -- maybe I shouldn't have told you guys.

Tracy: Where is she?

Logan: Emily's down in the ballroom. Um -- I'm not really sure when it happened. I've been with Llulu.

Luke: Does Nikolas know?

Logan: Yes, he does. He's -- he's the one who found her body.

Music plays.

Luke: Help me up.

Tracy: No. Luke, what are you doing?

Luke: -- I'm going to Nikolas.

Tracy: No, no, no.

Luke: He's going to need help.

Tracy: No, no --

Object crashes to floor.

Tracy: Luke!

Luke: Oh -- don't!

Tracy: Luke -- no!

Luke: Oh!

Tracy: Luke, Luke, luke! No!

Nikolas: You -- you don't understand. It -- it doesn't work without you! I -- I need you! It doesn't work without you!

Nikolas: God -- I can't -- I can't stay here without you.
