Operator’s voice: What’s the nature of your emergency?
Nikolas: There’s a fire at the Emily Quartermaine clinic on van ness. There’s at least one person trapped inside. I need help.
Nikolas: Nadine! Nadine, can you hear me?
Nikolas: Nadine. Come on, I’m going to get you out of here. Come on. Let’s go.
[Nadine coughing]
Nadine: Get Matt. He’s really bad.
Nikolas: Okay. Come on.
Nikolas: Come on.
[Sirens wailing]
Nikolas: You’re okay.
Nadine: I’ll be fine.
Nikolas: No, no. Come on, stay with me. You’re okay. You’re okay.
Firefighter: I’m going to need you to move.
Nikolas: Sorry.
Firefighter: First victim has major third-degree burns. Tell the E.R. to prep for skin grafts and lung trauma.
Nikolas: Hey, there.
Nadine: Hi. Uh, what –
Nikolas: It’s okay, you’re — you’re in the hospital, but you’re fine. You’re going to be okay.
Nadine: I thought I recognized this place.
[Nadine coughs]
Nadine: Oh, uh, the fire. Is — is Matt –
Nikolas: No, he’s in ICU. He — he got burned pretty bad, but he’s stable right now.
Nadine: Is he going to be okay?
Nikolas: The doctors say he will, yes.
Nadine: Because of you.
Nikolas: No, actually, because of you. I only got Matt clear first because you were so stubborn about it and insisted upon it. I swear to God, if anything would have happened to you before I got back — if you would have died while I was trying to save Matt Hunter, I never would have forgiven you for it.
Nadine: I should have called 9-1-1, not gone tearing in there, getting me and Matt trapped.
[Nikolas chuckles]
Nikolas: It’s okay. You just did what anyone who knows you would have expected. You rushed into a dangerous situation without fear and did everything you could to help.
[Nadine cries]
Nikolas: What? What’s wrong? What — what’d I say?
Nadine: Don’t pay attention to me. I don’t know why I’m crying. I mean, I’m safe and you’re here. It’s just — I could have died tonight, you know, and it could have all been gone just like that. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m just being ridiculous.
Nikolas: No, you’re not. I think you’re amazing, and I’m actually glad that you’re in my life.
