Faith: Hold -- hold your fire, big guy. Just take it easy.
Nikolas: Have you been alone in here the whole time?
Faith: Don't! No, let go of me! Ow! Ow!
Nikolas: Have you seen the killer?
Faith: No --
Woman: No --
Woman screams.
Emily: Mary, you have to stop this! You don't know what you're doing!
Mary: You're wrong. Emily, I am saving Connor from you!
Mac: How did you get down to the boathouse?
Faith: Hmm, let's see -- I walked.
Mac: Save the sarcasm. No one's in the mood. Someone must have helped you. Who was it?
Nikolas: That can wait. I asked you a question -- have you seen the killer?
Faith: Nobody here but us chickens.
Nikolas: What --
Faith: No, okay? No, no! I've been here alone!
Dillion: All the boats are accounted for. Nobody left via the lake.
Nikolas: Which means the killer's in the house where Emily is.
Mac: Nikolas!
Tracy: No, no, no, no, no! You just survived one attack from the maniac. Two of your friends were not so lucky. Clearly, going off on your own is a good way to get killed. I won't allow it.
Alan: And I'm not going to stand around here and let my daughter become bait for a killer!
Mac: Alan, you stay right there. Nikolas may have jumped to a conclusion. He's obviously concerned about Emily, as we all are. But, listen, Tracy made an excellent point -- there is safety in numbers. If we start chasing shadows, we may be playing right into the killer's hands.
Justus: I'd have to agree.
Felicia: Look who decided to join us, unless you're here to meet Faith.
Nikolas: Damn it. Open up! It's Nikolas! Come on.
Emily: Hey, you don't have to worry. All right, Nikolas is fine. He's not in any danger.
Mary: Stop calling him that. His name is Connor, and he is in danger from you.
Emily: I know that you loved your husband, Mary, but Connor is dead.
Mary: Stop lying. You're not fooling anybody. Connor knows the truth! I know the truth! You stole him! You tricked him. You held him prisoner in this house, and you filled his brain with lies. I'm going to have to save him from you once and for all, and for that to happen, you're going to have to die.
Emily: If all you want is Nikolas --
Mary: Connor.
Emily: Why did you kill Sage and Trent? What did a couple of teenagers ever do to you?
Mary: It wasn't personal. The guy shouldn't have been there. And he shouldn't have been helping you keep Connor locked up, either. But the girl -- well, I thought she was you. I was pretty sure you were dead. It turns out she was someone helping you keep Connor away from me. That's not going to happen again.
Emily: Mary, Nikolas is mine. He belongs with me.
Mary: Oh, God!
Emily: All right, game over, you crazy bitch!
Mary: Do it. Do it. Kill me. As long as you know Connor will hate you for it.
Emily: Okay.
Mary: Come on.
Mary srceams.
Edward: She's not anywhere on this floor. I'm going to check her room.
Heather: Not alone. Alice and I are coming with you.
Edward: I'm not going to put you two in danger. The killer could be anywhere in this house. Where is Em? Have you seen her?
Nikolas: She's not down here?
Edward: No!
Nikolas: Damn it. Emily! Emily! Oh -- oh, please, God -- please, God, no. No! Come -- come here. Please, Emily -- please -- can you hear me? Oh, thank you. Can you hear me? Emily --
Emily: Oh, God. She got away.
Nikolas: Well, she -- what do you mean, she? What do you mean?
Emily: I tried, but I -- I couldn't stop her.
Nikolas: Her? What -- the killer is a woman? What?
Emily: Nikolas, it's Mary.
Emily: She came out of nowhere. One minute I was checking the room for some clue to the killer's identity, and the next she was on me and we struggled, and I managed to grab hold of her mask and I ripped it off, and there -- there was Mary. She had this look in her eyes, Nikolas. She wanted me dead.
Nikolas: You tried to warn me she was insane. I'm so sorry. I should've listened to you.
Emily: No, listen, I may have run upon a few red flags, but I had no idea that she was that far gone. And never for one moment did I think that she was violent and capable of cold-blooded murder.
Nikolas: Okay. She wanted you out of the way. She thought she'd be removing her last obstacle to me. But why Sage and Trent? Why'd she kill them? Those kids were no threat to her.
Emily: Mary thought I was Sage. I mean, she didn't even care that she'd killed two innocent teenagers. I mean, she'd convinced herself that everyone in the house was conspiring with me to keep Connor away from her.
Nikolas: Connor?
Emily: Nikolas, Mary still believes that you're her husband. She thinks that I'm holding you prisoner, and she will stop at nothing to free you.
Nikolas: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Emily: It's not your fault.
Nikolas: No, I wanted to trust her. I agreed to let her help us.
Emily: Well, there's no way that you could have known.
Nikolas: I just -- I can't believe it. I mean, you -- you say it was her, so I know it's true, but she seemed to be gentle, loving, even. Terribly misguided, but it seemed to be a product of her grief. I just -- I can't see how she could kill anyone.
Emily: She's mentally ill.
Nikolas: I think it's more than that. Something -- something turned her violent like this.
Emily: Maybe -- maybe it's despair, you know? Maybe she realized that she'd truly lost you, and her mind just snapped.
Nikolas: I don't like thinking that I could drive someone to madness.
Emily: It's not you.
Nikolas: I thought she was my wife. I said all the things that I was supposed to. I told her that I loved her; I told her that I wouldn't leave her.
Emily: Because she lied about who you were.
Nikolas: I know. I'm just trying to see this from her point of view. You know, she was lonely, she was grieving. And you know what? I know what that feels like. Because when we were afraid that you weren't going to survive the cancer, I didn't want to think about the rest of my life without you.
Emily: Right. So -- so Mary’s grieving, and suddenly you show up at her door, and now there's hope. It's a new chance at love, and all she has to do is lie.
Nikolas: But after a while, I don't think it was a lie anymore. I think she convinced herself that what she and I had was real, and I didn't help matters any by asking her to remarry me. The only reality that Mary can live with right now is the one that she created, where she and I belong to each other. When I turned away from Mary, she tried to win me back. She thought she still had a chance because of how angry I was at you.
Emily: And when we reconciled, then she lost any realistic hope of being with you.
Nikolas: So she created an alter reality, one where I was still her husband, a reality where you were holding me prisoner and she had to save me. If I believed that you were being held prisoner somewhere by someone, I would do whatever is necessary to free you. And that includes wanting whatever person or persons were responsible dead.
Emily: So Mary’s not giving up?
Nikolas: I wouldn't, and neither would you. Mary couldn't save her dead husband, Connor, so now she's trying to save me.
Emily: By killing me. So, what do we do next?
Nikolas: Hmm. Go downstairs, I guess. Tell everyone what happened. I wonder if Mary’s still in the house.
Emily: Well, she knows that -- that she's been discovered. And she -- she might be too far gone now, you know, to understand the risk, so maybe she's just going to stay close and keep trying to get after you.
Nikolas: I should've never left you alone like that in here after I knew Dillon -- what happened to him --
Emily: It's okay.
Nikolas: No, no, it's not. She almost killed you. She almost killed you. And I know that I'm just trying to see this from her perspective and be logical, but all I can see is you lying on this floor. She almost killed you, Emily, and that can't happen again, ok? I don't give a damn how sick she is. She needs to be stopped. And I'll kill her before I let her hurt you again.
Felicia: We'll keep Faith in the freezer until she can be transported to the PCPD.
Tracy: If the cops ever arrive to do it.
Mac: The storm is dying down. I'm going to call it in and get an E.T.A.
Felicia: Meanwhile, everybody has to try to stay calm.
Monica: Well, that shouldn't be too difficult. It won't be the first time a homicidal maniac has wandered around these grounds.
Alan: Well, at least this time it's not one of us.
Tracy: And is that supposed to be funny?
Alan: Sweetheart, thank God you're here!
Monica: Emily, are you all right?
Nikolas: She's fine.
Edward: She's bleeding. Lila was right on the money. The killer went after Emily.
Alan: Is that what happened?
Emily: Yes, but I’m -- I'm all right. The cut isn't very deep.
Mac: Did you see the killer?
Nikolas: Yeah. It's Mary Bishop.
Tracy: Mary Bishop? That little mousy thing that you invited to dinner?
Mac: Are you positive?
Emily: Yeah. I not only ripped off her mask, I had to fight for my life against her. So, yeah, I'm positive, all right. And she admitted to killing Sage and Trent.
Justus: Any idea why this Mary Bishop would all of a sudden go on a killing spree?
Nikolas: It's a long story, okay?
Emily: Yeah. Where do you want us to start?
Mac: If you're up to it, I'd like you to walk through the scene of the attack. Maybe Mary left behind some evidence. You can bring me up to speed there.
Nikolas: Okay.
Tracy: Excuse me, did I miss the part where the commissioner deputized his ex-wife?
Mac: Felicia is a licensed private investigator, a trained observer. I trust her judgment.
Alan: Yes, and mother trusted Felicia’s judgment, too.
Tracy: Look, I may not be eligible to inherit, but neither are you, and daddy won't be, either, because he can't keep his hands off Heather Webber!
Edward: You're still clinging to the belief that Lila did not approve of my friendship with Heather.
Tracy: Oh, I think it goes a lot deeper than that.
Edward: And she approved of that. That's why she made Heather a vessel.
Tracy: Ha! You can't seriously believe that!
Edward: It's all in front of your eyes. Not only did Heather use the secret code phrase prearranged by Lila and Felicia, but she told me that Emily was in danger. Lila wanted to protect her granddaughter. She used Heather to do it. Is that not a vote of confidence or what?
Nikolas: When I learned the truth about who I was, Mary tried to kill herself. That should've been my first clue that she was unstable, but I guess I missed it.
Felicia: And so you thought differently, Emily?
Emily: Yeah, something about Mary was just off to me. You know, I didn't trust her after all the lies she told, and her sense of entitlement when it came to Nikolas just didn't seem normal. But you have to understand, see, normal when it comes to Mary is very subjective.
Nikolas: I assume that when I chose to go back to Emily that -- as if there was ever a choice -- I mean, she's the only woman I’ve ever loved, and if I didn't have the head injury, we'd probably be -- anyway, I can only assume that that's when she lost touch with reality.
Mac: Mary figured if you were dead, Nikolas would take her back.
Emily: Not exactly. It was Connor that she wanted.
Nikolas: Mary still thinks that I’m her dead husband.
Felicia: So from Mary’s point of view, she was acting out of love?
Emily: Her version of it, I guess. Mary thinks that by killing me, she rescues Connor.
Mac: Was Mary injured in the struggle?
Emily: I -- I don't know. I hit her, I knocked her down hard, but I don't think that there was any serious damage.
Mac: Well, then she's still a threat.
Mac: Mary is unbalanced and should be considered extremely dangerous, but she is just one woman. Now, because of the storm, she was able to use the power outage to her advantage and attack isolated people in the house without them knowing. That's over now.
Felicia: Mary's still a threat, but she can be managed.
Edward: You have any idea where she might be now?
Mac: She's probably trying to escape. I'll issue an A.P.B. --
Dillion: Guys, guys, she's here! She's outside! She's outside right now!
Georgie: Mary Bishop!
Brook Lynn: She could be in the house!
Mac: All right, calm down. One at a time -- what did you see?
Dillion: Mary Bishop is outside on the terrace holding a knife.
Brook Lynn: She was staring at us through the door. But just staring, but then she smiled.
Georgie: She didn't look sorry; she didn't look scared! She just looked nuts!
Emily: That means she's still after me.
Nikolas: Not for long. I end this tonight.
Mac: What does that mean?
Nikolas: I'm going to kill Mary Bishop myself.
Emily: Nikolas is angry. He's not going to kill anyone.
Mac: Concern for Emily doesn't mean he can be a vigilante. The police will find and arrest Mary.
All: Oh!
Mac: That's good, the power is back on. That'll work in our favor. Alan, Alice, Monica -- go to the utility closet, the security room, whatever. Turn on all the lights on the grounds. And -- but stick together. That goes for everyone here, all right? No one goes anywhere alone. I'm fairly certain Mary will go to the boathouse and try to escape via the lake. Backup will be here soon. This is almost over. But to ensure your safety, you need to stick together.
Nikolas: Mac, we can't just sit around and wait for the police and give Mary a chance to kill someone else or get away. You and I have to get down to the boathouse. If she's there, we take her. Come on, you know I'm right. If there's an opportunity to get Mary, now's the time.
Mac: All right, but you follow my instructions.
Nikolas: All right.
Mac: No taking the situation into your own hands.
Nikolas: Fine.
Emily: Uh-uh, absolutely not. If you go after Mary, I'm going with you.
Nikolas: Come on.
Noise.
Mac: Call for her.
Nikolas: Mary? Mary, it's over. You can't run anymore.
Mary: Connor? Hi. I'm glad you're here. I've come to rescue you, so we can have our life together, the one we always wanted.
Nikolas: Put the knife down, Mary.
Mary: I can’t. Not until you're free.
Nikolas: Mary, you need help. I'm not your dead husband.
Mary: You are. No, Connor’s not dead. He's alive. He's you. Emily stole you! She lied to you! Emily should be dead! And I'm going to be the one to kill her. I swear to God, I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her for you.
Nikolas: Please, Mary --
Mac: I'm warning you, Mary. Not another step.
Nikolas: Don't -- shoot her before she gets away. What are you doing?
Mac: It's all right, Nikolas. Don't worry, she's not going anywhere.
Mary: Wake up, Connor. We'll have our life back as soon as Emily’s dead, I promise.
Nikolas: Mac -
Nikolas grabs Mac’s gun and shoots at Mary.
