Nikolas is In Trouble

(at the PCPD)

Nikolas: Why is Ric Lansing so sure that I killed Cody McCall?

Lucky: I thought you were cleared as a suspect.

Nikolas: Yeah, so did I, but something happened after I went home earlier.

Lucky: Ok, we got back the medical examiner's report.

Nikolas: Yeah, which has nothing to do with me.

Lucky: If there's no evidence, Alexis will have you out of here in an hour.

Nikolas: How could there be any evidence at all?

Lucky: Nikolas, I'm speaking to you as my brother, not as a cop. You understand me?

Nikolas: You suspect me too?

Lucky: You know I'm going to do everything I can to help you, so you better be honest with me. Do you have anything to do with Cody’s death?

Alexis: Please don't say another word.


Alexis: Whatever you say to Lucky can and will be used against you, just like Miranda says.

Lucky: I'd never do anything to hurt my brother.

Alexis: Especially if he keeps talking.

Nikolas: Your question -- the answer is no.

Lucky: I got it.

Alexis: Whatever you two just said to each other is admissible, by the way, even if you spoke in code. Can I speak to my client, please?

Lucky: No problem.

Nikolas: How soon can you get me out of here?

Alexis: I don't know.

Nikolas: You can't make them drop the charges?

Alexis: I don't know. You are in serious trouble.


Alexis: Everything that I've looked over so far is circumstantial, but it could be incriminating.

Nikolas: Meaning what?

Alexis: Meaning that the police can give you motive for murder, for murdering McCall. He misled you. He could've been the one that stole the treasure from the Courage. He could've been the one that attacked Emily.

Nikolas: It could just as easily have been Ben the fence. Ben, Ben -- I've already told the police all about this.

Alexis: Who's Ben?

Nikolas: Ben -- Ben, I don't -- I don't know. We don't know his last name, but we know he worked for Cody.

Alexis: According to who?

Nikolas: According to Cody. I mean, come on. It makes sense. Cody and Ben teamed up to steal the treasure, Emily was about to figure it out, so Ben attacked her and left her for dead.

Alexis: Do you know what Ben looks like?

Nikolas: No.

Alexis: Does --

Nikolas: No, I've never seen him.

Alexis: Does Emily? Did she report it --?

Nikolas: No, she was hit from behind.

Alexis: So nobody's seen Ben?

Nikolas: No.

Alexis: So how do we know that Ben exists?

Nikolas: Cody --

Alexis: Cody?

Nikolas: Cody told us about him, yes.

Alexis: Cody, the lying con artist who scammed you and Emily?

Nikolas: I didn't kill him.

Alexis: Oh, Nikolas, I hope the forensics God is smiling down upon you.
