26, 2004 Transcript Emily: How long do you think that Nikolas can survive in the water? We have to send rescue boats now. Lucky: At this point, Em, a helicopter is his best chance. And if he's spotted, we can bring in the boats. Ric: Look, the river is in flood. I can't let the rescue workers take unnecessary risks. Emily: How can you call saving Nikolas unnecessary, Ric? Alexis: Emily, come here a second. Look, you know that Nikolas wouldn't want anybody risking their lives right now. It's too dangerous for the searchers to do this. This is a very difficult situation, but you are just going to have to wait. Ric: What have you got? Ross: Nothing. We're not going to find anything, either. Lucky: You know what? Let me tell you something. You don't know my brother. Nikolas is a survivor! Ric: Take -- take it easy. Ross: I'm sorry. I know you want to believe that, but you know the facts as well as I do. It's a miracle he walked away from this. You know, he must've been badly injured, in shock. How far could he swim if the river weren't in flood? Ric: Ok, detective, please. I appreciate your input in this matter, but I think it's a little early to give up the search. Ross: Listen, I'm suggesting that you be realistic with his fiancée. Emily: Realistic about what? Ric: Look, Emily, please. Given -- given the fact that the river is in flood and the extensive injuries that Nikolas could have, the probability that he is alive -- Emily: No, don't say it, don't even think it. Nikolas is alive. Lucky: Hey, it's possible Nikolas could've gotten out of that water. Emily: Yeah, he could've crawled up on the bank down -- down the river. Maybe he's passed out or he's hurt and he's waiting for someone to find him. Ross: So how long you going to let her go on like this? Alexis: You seem awfully eager to give up my nephew for dead. Are you nursing some sort of personal grudge? Ross: Sorry, ma'am. I didn't realize that the victim was your relative. Alexis: I would appreciate it if you wouldn't speak about my nephew in the past tense. Ross: I'm not trying to be insensitive. I just don't want to encourage false hope. Alexis: Really? It seems to me as if you're trying to save time and effort. Ric: You know what? I think it's a little soon to force Emily to have to deal with the facts, but, obviously, you don't want to be placated that way. Alexis: Obviously. Ric: Yeah. All right, you have to realize that Detective Duncan is right in this matter -- it is too soon to presume Nikolas dead. We can and will continue the search, but it is also reasonable to advise his family -- that being you -- to prepare for the worst. Emily: Look at this. Look at this. Anyone else would've been hurt too badly to move. It just proves how strong Nikolas is that he could walk away. Wait. Lucky: Emily -- Emily: Wedding rings. Lucky: Emily? Emily: Nikolas left me a message that he went shopping in Manhattan. Alexis: Oh, Emily, those are beautiful. Emily: He can't be lost. He can't be in that river, and there is no way that a car wreck or a river or anything else is going to keep us apart.
