At the hospital Nick calls the police to report Nikki missing. Rey arrives and Nick tells him he will put Newman's security on it, and he tells Rey his promises fall short. Victoria calls Nate and gets his voicemail. In the ambulance Nikki is hooked up to an IV as she lay unconscious. Nate tells the driver to turn on the siren to hurry as the patient is getting weaker. Nikki awakens and Nate tells her that Victor is having her transported somewhere safe. Nikki realizes it wasn't a dream and that Victor really did visit her in the hospital. She tells Nate that he did the right thing, and they discuss whether there is such a thing as miracles. Nate is doubtful as he couldn't save his true love. Nate explains to Nikki that Victor felt once they were together that she would have the strength to heal. Nikki tells Nate that the accusations against Victor are false and that he is being framed. She becomes upset and falls unconscious again. Nate instructs the driver to go back for the drugs she needs before she dies. Back at the hospital Nick makes a few phone calls to look for Nikki. Victoria, Nick and Phyllis speculate that Nikki was targeted by one of Victor's enemies. Once alone with Phyllis, Victoria tells her they need to come clean. Phyllis protests but Victoria insists and tells her to Stop it' and that they are confessing tonight! Nick goes to the station for an update from Rey. To his surprise Rey asks Nick to help out by checking the visitors log. They make amends as Nick admits his anger is not directed at Rey. They discover they have a lot in common as they both have fathers who disappointed them. They notice someone on the video footage and determine that it is the kidnapper. Rey will send the footage to be enhanced. At the hospital Victoria and Phyllis continue arguing heatedly. Meanwhile Nick spots the person from the video and unmasks him. It is Nate! Nate quickly explains and insists he is protecting his patient and that Victor set the whole thing up. He explains that Nikki has had a relapse and Nick let's him go. He has no choice as otherwise his mother's life is at risk. Nick joins Nate in the ambulance and insists his mother be brought back inside, but the driver won't allow it and tells him he is carrying out the plan as instructed.
[PREVIOUSLY_ON] Rey: I never wanted to see something like this happen to your mother. Nick: Oh, really? Well, it's not gonna stop you from using it to try and nail my dad for killing J.T., Right? You have been harassing my family for months. I'm supposed to suddenly believe that you are now on our side? Victor: Come back to me. Nate: Nikki. Can you hear me? What you're asking, it's insane. Victor: Are you willing to help me, for nikki's sake? Or am I wasting my time here right now? Nick: Okay, mom, we're here to tuck you in. Nick: This is not good. Victoria: This just doesn't make any sense. It's not like mom just got up to take a stroll. Nick: How could the nurse lose mom? I mean, isn't this job 1, just to look out for your patient? Victoria: Listen, there has to be a logical explanation. Maybe another nurse came in and took her for some more tests. Phyllis: Nope. I just checked the front desk. No tests were ordered. Victoria: Let's just not jump to conclusions. She didn't up and vanish. Phyllis: I think that's exactly what it is. She isn't here, therefore, i think she may be missing. Nick: We should have put our own guards outside the door. With everything that happened... Victoria: Look, someone has been with her every minute of every day, and the hospital has security. Nick: Well, they're doing a bang-up job. I got to call the police. Victoria: Well, what are we saying, that we think someone took her? Nick: Yes, hi, I need to report a missing person. Yes, vick, mom didn't get out of this bed on her own. She's barely alive. Someone kidnapped her. Nick: I mean, how does this happen? How does the hospital let something like this happen? Victoria: I think we need to contact the hospital administrator so that they can coordinate with the police and the staff. Nick: Yeah, let's do that, and then I'm gonna tell them that we're gonna sue this place into oblivion. Phyllis: I get that reaction, I do, and we're gonna sic the lawyers on them, but that's not gonna help anything right now. Nick: Hey, you need to lock this place down. Nobody gets in or out. Rey: Things are already in motion. Nick: And question everyone. Somebody has to know something. Rey: You're right, somebody does know something. I'm gonna find out what that is. I promise you. Nick: Oh, you promise me? Are you kidding me? Sorry, but your promises have fallen a little short lately. Do you have any idea yet who started the fires on our ranch and burned down our stables? How about my mom's hit-and-run accident? So you'll excuse me if I'm not overly confident in you figuring out who kidnapped my mother. Rey: I understand your frustration, but you need to let me do my job. I need you to take witness statements and get a list of staff on duty. Victoria: It's just that -- we haven't seen many results from your investigation, despite your endless questioning of our family. Nick: More like harassment. Phyllis: Okay, let's just take a breath, you guys. Rey: Police work takes time. It is a methodical process. Sometimes a timeline doesn't meet people's expectations. Nick: We don't have a lot of time. Everybody knows that the first 24 hours in a kidnapping are the most important. Rey: Yeah, kidnapping is a big assumption. Has there been a ransom demand? Victoria: No. Not yet. But we know that mom didn't walk out of that room of her own volition. Rey: Okay, then. How and when she exited the room are gonna be the first questions we answer through witness interviews and checking security footage. Nick: And how long is that gonna take? Phyllis: We all want the same thing here. Nick: Do we, rey? Do we all want the same thing? Rey: Of course we do. Nick: Because I think the police, they only want to nail dad for J.T.'S murder. Everything else comes second to that. Rey: That's not true. Victoria: It seems like you view our family as suspects rather than victims. Rey: We don't know if your mom is the victim of anything. Obviously something happened here, and my only purpose is to find out what. All other investigations going on concurrently will not affect this one. Victoria: I hope you mean that. Nick: The gcpd is gonna take this investigation seriously, or I will get every one of your higher-ups on a constant loop. You mark my words. Somebody is out to hurt mom. I just hope it's not too late already. Additional sponsorship Rey: I am only out for one thing -- the truth. My loyalty and commitment are to the community I serve. That means you. It doesn't matter if your name is newman or smith. So please believe me when I tell you that I am going to do everything in my power -- and i mean everything -- to find your mother. Victoria: Okay. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt, which is more than you've done for us. Nick: We almost lost our mother once this week. I'll be damned if it happens again. Phyllis: All we want is for you to find nikki. Rey: I want that, too. Nick: We want to know about every development, big or small. I don't care. And, likewise, we'll let you know if we turn up any leads with our own investigation. Victoria: What are you talking about? Nick: Newman has its own crack security team with access to different resources that the gcpd. Sometimes, those sources and methods can turn up faster results. Rey: What -- what sources and methods are you talking about? Nick: You don't want to know. Rey: What I do want to know is that you're not gonna compromise an official police investigation. You're emotional right now. Emotions can lead to irrational thoughts and actions. Nick: I'm not emotional. I'm fine. I just don't see a problem with us attacking this thing from different angles. Rey: This is what I'll say. You don't do anything illegal, and you don't get in my way. Nick: Same goes for you. We good? Rey: Hey. Yeah, nick newman's here, and he is firing off like a loose cannon. He could pop off any second with something stupid that would compromise our investigation. Yeah, track his phone. Thanks. Phyllis: If this is your plan, I will go with it, but i want to be filled in, and I need you to be very careful. Victoria: I'm gonna call nate and see if he noticed anything while he was on duty. Nick: I doubt it. I saw him getting into his car earlier. We can go check and make sure. Victoria: It's voicemail. Nick: Yeah, he worked a 14-hour shift. I'm sure he's dead asleep by now. [ Cellphone vibrates ] I want the whole security team on this. Pull every guy off of whatever it is they're working on. The only thing that matters right now is finding my mother. Now, listen to me, I want our guys turning over rocks that the police won'T. You know what I'm saying. Whatever it takes. Victoria: You're doing the right thing. This is what dad would do. Nick: Vick, we have to cover our bases. I believe that rey wants to find mom, but, I promise you, he wants to find dad even more. Phyllis: At this point, would that be such a bad thing? Victoria: Phyllis. Phyllis: I'm just saying, we haven't had much luck finding him. Despite my feelings for him, i know his love for your mother is timeless, it's profound, and i can't imagine what is keeping him away from her at this time. Victoria: I don't know. Maybe he doesn't know what's happened, or he's in trouble. Doing business in the middle east is a little like the wild west. Maybe he got himself into a situation that he can't get himself out of. Nick: No. No, no, no. I'm not buying it. If something would have happened to dad, we would have heard about it. This is a self-imposed exile. Dad knows once he comes back to town, he's gonna get arrested. This is self- preservation, one of dad's specialties. Phyllis: Well, that is a new low, even for him. Victoria: I don't want to believe that about dad. If he knew that mom were fighting for her life, he would break the space-time continuum to get here. Nick: We can't worry about that. Our number-one priority right now is finding our mother. Nate: What's your name, man? George. Nate: George, my patient's vitals are getting weaker, so i need to get to a place with better medical equipment so i can get a clearer picture of what's going on. Hey, how much longer till our destination? About an hour. Nate: What, an hour? We're hitting traffic. Nate: That's what the lights and sirens are for. Put 'em on! Can't draw attention to ourselves. Nate: Well, we also can't let nikki newman die. Put 'em on! [ Siren wailing ] Nate: We're getting pretty far outside the city. Hey, do you mind telling me where we're going? The rendezvous point. Nate: Could you be more specific, george? I have strict instructions to take you to the meeting place. That's all. The less you know, the better. For your own safety. Nikki: [ Groans ] Nate: Nikki? Nikki: Hmm? Nate: It's nate. Everything is okay. I'm here. I'm here. You were sedated, and now you're coming out of it. Take your time. Nikki: Where are we? Nate: We're in an ambulance. We've left the hospital. Nikki: Why? Nate: Just -- I'll tell you in a bit when you're a little more alert, okay? Nikki: [ Sighs ] Where are we going? Nate: I -- I'm not sure yet, but it shouldn't be much longer. Look, as your doctor, I'm here to make sure that you're well taken care of on the way there, okay? Nikki: Who -- Nate: Whose idea was this? Your husband'S. Victor's trying to save your life. Nick: You know, we should offer a reward. A reward for mom's return or information that leads to her return. That's a good idea. I'll go talk to rey about it. Where is he? Phyllis: He just left a little while ago. Nick: Really? Does he have more important things to do? Phyllis: Probably about the case, I imagine. Nick: That doesn't matter. We don't need him. We'll handle this ourselves. Victoria: I'm not sure it's really a good idea. We tried that approach before. We just ended up with a bunch of false leads. Nick: No. Victoria: Ultimately, it's not helpful. Nick: We only need one good one, one piece of information that lead to mom. What if it's out there, and this is the only way to get to it? Victoria: Okay, we can try, but I'm just worried that we're gonna be spinning our wheels. Nick: Well, we need to do something. Phyllis: You're doing everything you can. Nick: It's not enough! When I think about mom out there in the condition she's in and with god knows who -- I mean, who does something like this? What the hell is their motive? Who am I kidding? It's money. It's always money. Victoria: Or some sort of revenge. Nick: Mom doesn't have enemies like this. But dad does. So, yeah, somebody is targeting mom to get to dad. And, once again, she is the collateral damage due to dad's questionable behavior. Victoria: Okay, can you just stop the father-bashing for one minute? Nick: Yeah, well, even if it is somebody who's out to get dad, it doesn't help us anyway because it could literally be hundreds of people. Phyllis: Yeah, thousands. Nick: I mean, she's right. It could be anyone who's ever crossed paths with dad. Victoria: I'm gonna call home and check on the kids. Phyllis: Don't you think home sounds really good right now? Why don't we go? We can stay there, wait to hear some news. We can order some food. Nick: I can't just -- Phyllis: Okay, the walls are closing in on us here. Nick: I can't sit around. Phyllis: I know. We're not going to. We're gonna put our heads together. We're gonna think of a timeline, okay, of the day. Nick: Okay. Phyllis: Yeah. Nick: All right, we'll start with putting together a list of all the people who had access to mom. I-I can'T. I can't do that. I can't do that. Just -- just go home, and I will meet you there. Phyllis: Why? What are you thinking? Nick: Because with dad gone, it is up to me to protect this family. Phyllis: I don't want you to do anything risky, okay, out of some wrong-minded sense of duty to your father. Nick: It's nothing like that. Phyllis: Well, then tell me what it is. Let me help you. Nick: Just please -- please, just go home, okay? I need to do this alone. Please. Nate: Victor was convinced that you were in danger in the hospital, that whoever was out to harm you might -- might make another attempt. So he wanted to move you someplace where he knew you would be safe. Somewhere where that he can protect you. Nikki: [ Sighs ] So I wasn't dreaming, was I? Victor came to see me, didn't he? Nate: Yes, he did. On christmas. Nikki: [ Chuckles ] In my mind, I -- I was playing the piano, and then he was there, and just...dashing as ever. And he called out to me. And then we danced. Nate: The mind's subconscious is a powerful thing. Nikki: I heard his voice. It was so... so clear. And then when he touched my hand, it was so real. That's because it was. Nate: Maybe. There have been neurological studies that have proved that the voice of a loved one can awaken the unconscious brain. A -- a familiar sound, it exercises the circuits of the long-term memory and stimulates the first glimmer of awareness. Nikki: Oh, that's just a fancy way of saying victor brought me back to life. Nate: There were studies that proved it was possible. Nikki: So, um, where is my husband? Nate: I don't know. Our driver won't tell me where we're going, but victor assured me that we'd have icu-level equipment waiting on us. Nikki: Well, well, well. Victor wouldn't take any chances, wouldn't spare any expense when it comes to saving my life. Nate: He was very persuasive about this -- this being a safer course of action than the icu, and it was not an easy conversation. We argued. He made a point that if he was able to slip in and out of your room with relative ease, well, what was stopping the other person that was out to harm you from doing the same? Nikki: Mm, he's right. Nate: Let's hope so. I, uh... I'm only here because I have to protect you as my patient. I took an oath to do no harm. Nikki: You're not harming me. And the best thing for my health is to be with the love of my life. You need to have a little faith. Nick: I'm ready for that update you promised me. Rey: Well, I'm still going over witness statements of the staff on duty, the visitors log from the last 24 hours. I'll be in touch as soon as i have something to report. Nick: Yeah, I'm not worried about that anymore. Rey: Good. Nick: Because I'm gonna be parked right there. Rey: Well, if you're gonna sit here, it might as well be in this chair. It's the only one in the place that won't give you sciatica. Nick: Thanks. Rey: This is from crimson lights. I got an extra cup. The coffee here is like rocket fuel -- it'll burn a hole right through you. Nick: I don't know what the "nice guy" routine is for. I'm not giving up. I'm not leaving. Rey: You have made that very clear, and if you're gonna sit here and hang out, you mind pitching in? Nick: Yeah. What can I do? Rey: You can look at this section of the visitors log. You might recognize some names i don't, people's backstories. See if there's anyone in there that wouldn't have any business being at the hospital or shouldn't be in the first place. Anyone your mother hasn't seen in a long time. An acquaintance that brings up a red flag. Anything that brings up a red flag. Nick: Thanks. Rey: No problem. Nikki: Hey, nate. Nate: Yeah? I'm here. I'm here. Nikki: I just wanted to say that you did the right thing, taking me to see victor. He did bring me out of my coma. Our souls just connected and it just overcame anything that could have been happening to my body, and it defies anything that you can tell me scientifically. Nate: I'm -- I'm not sure I'm a believer in miracles. Nikki: Why not? You just saw one. Nate: It's -- it's because... maybe it's because the love of my life passed away, and i couldn't save her. Nikki: Oh, um... c-carolyn? Carolyn. Carolyn. Nate: [ Sighs ] When she got sick, I -- I had years of medical training, and...yet, it meant nothing. It almost caused me to quit medicine all together. I couldn't even save her with the power of my love. And I -- and I loved her with everything in me. So how do you explain that? Nikki: I can'T. I'm so sorry. Nate: I wish I had the belief that you and victor share. Nikki: So do I. Nate: He was convinced that once you two were together, it would give you the strength you needed to recover. Nikki: That's right. I believe in him completely. Nate: Yeah, but he's flawed, just like the rest of us. So how do you reconcile the way you feel about him with -- with his sins and what he's been accused of doing? Nikki: What are you talking about? J.T.? Nate: That's why we're taking you to him. I mean, he -- he can't show his face in genoa city, or he'll be arrested. Nikki: Victor's being framed. Nate: How can you be so sure? Nikki: Victor didn't kill anybody. Nate: Okay, okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let's not talk about it anymore. Nikki: My husband -- he'S... he's in -- he's innocent. Nate: Nikki! Nikki! Stay with me. Stay with me! Nick: I guess I should apologize. I was, uh, pretty rough on you back at the hospital. Rey: It's fine. I respect the devotion to your mother. I'd be going crazy if my mom went missing. Nick: Well, I was shocked, all right? And scared. And I think my reaction is more about her and less about you. Rey: I'm used to unpredictable victim reactions. Sporadic. Extreme. Yours wouldn't make my top 50. Nick: [ Chuckles ] Really? Rey: [ Chuckles ] I've had socialite shoplifters slap me across the face, drunks puke on my shoes... once, I had to tell a wife we found her missing husband -- with another woman. And she decided she'd take it out on him...with me. Nick: Wait, so, she, uh... Rey: ...Was like an octopus. Nick: [ Groans ] You know, I'm not trying to justify my behavior, but it's been a rough year. I almost lost my dad, and now my mom, and now they both disappeared into thin air. I'm just trying to make sense of it. Rey: Sometimes it's easier to deal in facts than emotions. Facts are concrete. They don't lie or disappoint you. Nick: Who we talking about here? Rey: Oh, I'm just saying. My work... the process can be comforting. You know, you find leads, run them down, collect evidence, follow the trail to the truth. Nick: That makes sense. I mean, this is very satisfying. Rey: Because facts lead to answers. That's when everything will finally make sense. [ Computer chimes ] Rey: I think I got something. Oh, I think this may be the key to finding your mother. "The young and the restless" will continue. Nick: What is it? Rey: The hospital's sending over the security footage. Nick: Great. Let's get on it. Rey: It's a big file. It's gonna take a minute to upload. Nick: [ Exhales sharply ] You got anything yet? Rey: The buffering thing says it's gonna take another six minutes. Nick: [ Sighs ] This sucks. Rey: Yup. Nick: You have to do this all the time, this waiting thing? Rey: Yup. You and I, we aren't that different, you know. Nick: Really? I don't see a lot of overlapping on the venn diagram. Rey: Yeah. My father wasn't a saint, either. Nick: A lot of bad fathers out there. Doesn't make us unusual. Rey: I'm just saying I know what it's like to be a kid and want to see your father as a hero, and when you realize he's not, well, that's not something you ever really get over. My father walked out on us. Nick: I'm sorry about that. Rey: It's fine. It's fine. It's just, uh... he left a hole that I felt responsible to fill. I felt like I had to take care of my family, make sure everyone was okay. Nick: I can see how that could weigh on you. Rey: So when I think I've walled up all the anger I have about it, I start saying things like, "facts don't disappoint you or lie or..." Nick: So you were talking about your father. Yeah, that is, uh -- that's the hardest part, to find a way to be able to cut him out of your life for good. You know, you, uh... you get some distance, feel like you're in a good place, and then he catches you in a weak moment and draws you back in. It could be with something as simple as a, I don't know, like, a compliment or dinner invitation. Then he's got you. Rey: Because there's always gonna be some love there. Those blinders can be deadly. Nick: What? Rey: What? Nick: What's that supposed to mean? Rey: Just that it's hard to see our fathers for who they are. Nick: Look, I don't have blinders, all right? I know exactly who my dad is. It doesn't mean he killed anyone. Rey: This has nothing to do with J.T. Nick: Yeah. Yeah. I see what you're doing. You tried to use this conversation to, like, open up a vein, catch me in a weak moment, give you some information that you could take advantage of. Rey: No, no, no. That's not what this was. I swear, all right? I'm nothing like your father, or mine, for that matter. Nick: Yeah. Okay. Victoria: Is there any word? Phyllis: Not yet. Victoria: Where's my brother? Phyllis: He left. He had some idea in his head that he thought could help the search. Victoria: Well, that's gonna hard to do when he doesn't have all the facts. Phyllis: What does that mean? Victoria: I get the feeling that we're hampering this investigation. We're getting in the way of them finding my mother. Phyllis: In what way? Victoria: The police don't know everything that there is to know. If the same person who kidnapped my mother also terrorized her with J.T.'S clothing and planted evidence against my dad, we need to tell them. Phyllis: No. No, no, no, no. We don'T. We need to do the opposite of that. Victoria: I am not gonna jeopardize my mom's life. I would rather go to jail. Phyllis: Okay, this is not just about you. This is about all of us, including your mother. Victoria: What good is it trying to protect her when someone has held her captive, and she might die? Phyllis: Point taken. But we need to talk our way through this -- Victoria: No! Stop! We are confessing everything. Tonight. Rey: Actually, you're not supposed to -- Nick: You're gonna shut me out now? Rey: I am watching security footage. You are going over your witness statement. That orderly just shut off her machine. Nick: Why would he do that? Rey: I don't know, maybe they're gonna run some tests. Nick: No, nate would have called me. Rey: Not if it was an emergency. His priority is his patient. Nick: Why is he lifting her up onto that gurney? Rey: That's actually an ambulance gurney. Nick: What the hell is going on? Who is that? Rey: Someone smart enough to act like they're just doing their job. Nick: Why isn't anyone stopping them? Rey: That's her kidnapper. Nate: Her blood pressure is spiking! It's through the roof. [ Sighs ] I need a series of drugs to bring her blood pressure down. We -- we don't have what I need here. Do you hear me, george? Look, I need you to turn around now. We can'T. I have strict instructions -- Nate: Look, if I don't get the drugs she needs, she could experience complete organ failure. Victor might have what you're looking for when we get there. Nate: He might? Look, I need you to find out if he does right now, okay? Or high-tail it back to the hospital. Look, if I don't get these drugs and bring her blood pressure down soon, there is a good chance that she dies. Nick: Are there any better shots of the guy's face? Rey: Mnh-mnh. There are cameras all over the hospital, but this person knew exactly how to avoid them, which leads me to believe that he's actually a member of the staff, not just someone dressed like an orderly. I'm gonna send digital copies of the footage over to our tech team. They will enhance it, get a closer look, and be able to compare it against the staff database. Nick: This could be the break we're looking for. Rey: It's not anything until we figure out exactly who this person is, but, yeah, maybe. Nick: Okay. I'm gonna get out of your hair. Hey, thanks. I'll, uh -- I'll let you know if I come up with anything on my end. Rey: Yeah. Okay. Uh, hey... I wouldn't usually say this to a victim's family member, but... I believe we're gonna find her. Phyllis: The four of us telling the truth about J.T.'S death is not going to save nikki, it's gonna put her in prison for, like, the rest of her life. Victoria: Oh, come off it, phyllis! You're only thinking about yourself! Phyllis: Of course I am. And caring about myself and nikki are not mutually exclusive, and that goes for you, too. Victoria: I don't really care what happens to me anymore. And I will keep the rest of your names out of it. Phyllis: Well, do you really think that that's what she wants you to do? To sacrifice yourself for her, after everything she's been through? Victoria: If -- if that's how we can find my mom, then that's all I care about. It's worth it! Phyllis: [ Sighs ] You are not thinking clearly. Victoria: Don't tell me that I am not thinking clearly. Phyllis: What are you are suggesting is not going to work. If you decide to confess to rey, do you think he's gonna believe you, after all of your months of indignant denials? His eyes are set on victor. He's gonna think you are throwing yourself in front of the train to save him. Victoria: Okay, fine. So then what do you suggest we do? Because nothing that we're doing now is helping us to find my mom... Phyllis: Shh! Victoria: ...And that's all i care about! Phyllis: All right, stop it. I suggest that we stay on high alert. Victoria: I have been on high alert. For months! So we just keep doing what we're doing, keep it at status quo? Phyllis: No, I -- yes. What I am saying is that I'm not gonna sugarcoat this, so you better brace yourself. If that kidnapper wanted to kill your mother, they would have done it in her bed. She was in no condition to defend herself. Victoria: That's disgusting. Phyllis: Well, I warned you. Victoria: I'm still not getting your point. Phyllis: Our tormentor is after all of us, not just nikki. So we have to use that to our advantage. We have to stay bonded together, the four of us against one person. That is exactly how we are gonna nail this S.O.B. Nick: Hey! Hey! You work here? Hey, I'm talking to you! Hey! Nate: Listen, do make a scene. Nick: What do you mean, don't make a scene? Nate: Look, I'm begging you. Please. If you care about your mother... Nick: If I care? Did you do this? Did you take my mom? Nate: It's not what it looks like. Nick: It looks to me like you're about to go to jail. Nate: Listen, I'm your mother's doctor. I'm trying to save my patient. Okay? I'm trying to protect her. Nick: Well, it seems to me the best way to do that is to keep her in the icu, not work some guerilla medicine. Nate: Sneaking her out was not my idea. I could lose my medical license over this. I could lose everything. Nick: Then why do it? Nate: Victor. Nick: What does my dad have to do this with? Nate: He was convinced that whoever ran her over might still be out to harm her. So he orchestrated her escape. He appealed to me for help. I said no at first, but... Nick: What, then he offered you a bunch of money? Nate: Whoa. I wouldn't take his money. But this is what your mother wants, to be with him. Nick: No, it's what my dad wants. Where the hell is he? Nate: We're on our way to him, but I cannot discuss this any further because your mom relapsed. Nick: What? Nate: Yeah. She needs this medicine right now. Nick: Well, then get her back in there and give it to her. Nate: Nick! Nick! Nick: I'm about to call the cops, man. Nate: Whoa, having me arrested won't do anything but delay her getting what she needs and cause chaos and distraction. I know her case better than anyone. I know what she needs. So you have to trust me. Nick: Well, I don'T. Nate: You have no choice, unless you're gonna physically stop me from saving your mother's life. He's inside getting medicine. Don't know, but I can't risk going in there, and I can't stay out here much longer. I don't know what to do. Well, that's why I'm calling you. You're supposed to tell me. Then ask victor. Who the hell is this? Nick: Hey, mom. It's me. You okay? All right, hey, give her medicine, and let's get her back inside. Nate: What? Nick: Yeah, do it! Now! We good? Nate: Okay, we're good. Nick: All right, let's go. Come on. We're gonna get you back inside, mom. [ Doors lock ] Nick: Let us out, george. Not happening. Until I hear differently, my job is to carry out the plan, as instructed.
