Gia: I can't do this alone.
Nikolas: I know you can. All right, we're counting on you to bring help. And once you get out of the maze, you're going to come to a tunnel entrance. Go straight to the police, to your brother.
Gia: But I wasn't paying attention when they brought me through here.
Gia: I'll be fine, ok? You'll be fine.
Gia: You're right, I will. But you better be ok when I get back.
Nikolas: Guaranteed. {Kisses her forehead} Ok, now, listen -- to get out of the maze, you go left at the t, right at the y, two more rights, one left, and one right. Left at the t, right at the y -- ok? -- Two more rights, one left, and one right.
Gia: Left, right, two lefts, left --
Nikolas: Two rights, two rights.
Gia: Ugh! Left, right, two rights, left, right?
Nikolas: A left and a right, right.
Gia: Yeah, right -- I mean, no, I got it. Left, right, two rights, left, right.
Nikolas: Good.
Gia: Ok.
Nikolas: I'm going to find Laura and the others, and by the time you get back, you'll be back with help, ok? {Kisses her forehead again}
Gia: Do you swear to me that I will see you again?
Nikolas: I swear to you.
Gia: Because if you go and die on me, I'm going to have to sue you for breach of promise.
Nikolas: This is not going to be the last time we see each other. I promise that. Ok?
Gia: I love you.
Nikolas: I love you more. Now go. Go, go. {He watches her walk down the maze}
~*~
Nikolas: I want the prisoners released. {Stefan and Alexis listen from the other side of the door}
Man: I only take orders from Mrs. Cassadine.
Nikolas: Well, these orders are from my father, the prince. Now, he demands that his brother and sister be brought to him at once.
Man: I'm sorry, but as I said --
Nikolas: Sorry is what you will be if I have to go back to my father and tell him that his orders have been denied and that his son, the heir, was ignored. Now let them out.
~*~
Gia: Left at the t, right at the y -- I hope was the y. Oh, what is up with these Ts and Ys? Or was it one more right and then a left? Oh, god, Gia, think. You cannot screw this up. Everybody is counting on you. Just breathe. If Nikolas thinks you can do it, then you can. Ok. A left, a right, two rights, a left, and a right means good-bye.
~*~
Nikolas: I don't like being questioned by the staff. Open the door.
Stefan: {To Alexis} Nikolas may need our assistance.
Man: My last orders were to treat you as a prisoner.
Nikolas: Then you are as ill informed as you are ill mannered. Now release the prisoners.
Alexis: I'm not taking one step with that traitorous little snot.
Stefan: Are you one of them now? I gave you my life!
Nikolas: You will be delivered to my father as he asked one way or the other. {Turns to the guard} Now, stop standing there like a fool. Your call. Open the door.
Stefan: {As the guard opens the door they attack him and throw him in the room} Ha! {Hugs Nikolas} Nikolas. It's good to see you.
Alexis: Are you all right?
Nikolas: Are you?
Alexis: Huh?
Nikolas: Are you?
Alexis: Yeah.
Stefan: Listen, you need to go with Alexis and get help.
Alexis: I'm not going anywhere without both of you.
Stefan: Alexis --
Nikolas: No, I can't leave. My father has Laura.
Stefan: I'll find her.
Nikolas: No, someone has to wipe out Helena's lab. Do you know how?
Stefan: If I can get access to the computer, yes.
Alexis: All right, well, I'm going to help somebody. Which one is it?
Nikolas: You.
Stefan: No -- no.
Nikolas: You. Yes, you. Ok? You.
Stefan: Nikolas --
Nikolas: Now, I believe it's this way. It's safe now. Just you stay safe, ok?
Stefan: Do you know where your mother is?
Nikolas: No, but I will find her. {He leaves}
~*~
Nikolas: {Walks into the room Luke and Laura are in} You all right?
Laura: Yes, I am.
Nikolas: {Kneels next to Laura} What happened?
Laura: Stavros. Luke: Listen, kid, I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to play this game. I may have to check out early. You make sure Laura gets home safe. Yes?
Nikolas: I swear. Luke, I swear.
Laura: No. {Guards walk in, and Nikolas and Laura stand up}
~*~
Gia: Left, right, two rights, a left, and a right. Hey, I did it! {As a few men try to grab her, she pushes them away}
Man: We've got her.
~*~
Helena: Well. The family traitors. Oh, I'm so glad you could make it. And I've been enjoying your brave, albeit futile attempts to flee on the monitors.
Stefan: Let Alexis and Barbara go. They're no threat to you.
Helena: I'm afraid that ms. Barbara has vowed eternal interference, and as for poor little Natasha, she's becoming far too irritating for her own good and mine.
Stefan: You're sick.
Helena: Tie them up. Well, well, well, look who's here. Oh, yes. Nikolas, my darling, your father and I are quite cross with you.
Nikolas: Go to hell. Actually, the both of you. All I see is a waste of what could have been.
Helena: And I look at you and feel the same.
Stavros: If you harm one hair on Nikolas' or Laura's head, you will be sorry.
Helena: I would never harm Nikolas. I love my grandson more than you'll ever understand. {The guards bring Gia in}
Nikolas: Let her go. Let go!
Gia: I am so sorry. I made it through the maze the whole way, and they were waiting on the other side.
Nikolas: Are you all right?
Helena: You should cherish every last moment that you have with Ms. Campbell.
Nikolas: Gia hasn't done anything, grandmother.
Helena: Oh, that's not true. I have dismissed servants for far less than an imprudently placed pastry.
Laura: Why have you brought us all here?
Helena: Why else? What we've all been waiting for. What I've been waiting for. All my friends and enemies, welcome to endgame.
~*~
Helena: This is for Mr. Spencer. Now, what would a very special event be without a surprise guest? And it just so happens that we were fortunate enough to procure one at the very last second.
Stavros: God, mother, will you please get on with it. {Lucky comes in}
Helena: Lucky. Oh, Lucky, I'm so delighted you could join us. I've been trying to reach you for some time.
Luke: Cowboy, don't listen to her.
Helena: Oh, save your breath, Luke. I don't know how you did it, but I'm so glad you could be here to appreciate all that I've planned, the fruits of all that labor that started the night that Lucky went up in a puff of smoke, the year we spent together, and then the weeks of testing his newfound abilities and loyalties when he returned.
Nikolas: Leave my brother alone.
Helena: And tonight, with everybody's help, Lucky will fulfill his destiny. {Holds the diamond in front of Lucky} Isn't that right, Lucky? Lucky? Do we understand each other?
Lucky: Yeah. I understand. I understand that that's just a rock and you're so pathetic and this whole thing is over. {Everyone smiles}
