'Connor' is the true character of Nikolas Cassadine however, he has amnesia and believes that he is Connor Bishop.
'Connor': I can't go on like this, not remembering my life. I want you to have me investigated. I need a complete dossier on my entire life -- where I was born, where I grew up, who were my parents, my friends. What was my education, my hobbies, when did I meet my wife, where did we get married -- anything there is to know about Connor Bishop, including whether I could've known Emily Quartermaine.
Alcazar: So this is about Emily?
'Connor': I don't know. See, that's the problem. Mary won't tell me everything.
Alcazar: Maybe she has good reasons.
'Connor': Yeah, I imagine she does, but I still need to know what she's leaving out.
Mary: How soon can I get pregnant?
Dr. Meadows: It usually takes a little longer, but the earliest you could hope to conceive would be a month from now.
Mary: I hope it's that soon.
Dr. Meadows: Okay.
Mary: My husband and I -- we can't wait to have a baby.
Dr. Meadows: Well, if you have any more questions, feel free to call me.
Mary: I will. Thank you.
Dr. Meadows: You're welcome.
Emily: Have you seen Mary Bishop?
Dr. Meadows: Oh, you just missed her.
Emily: Oh, she left? We were supposed to meet here after her appointment. Is she all right?
Dr. Meadows: Now, you know I can't tell you anything.
Emily: Oh, I understand, but she's been such a big help to me lately, and she can't wait to get pregnant.
Dr. Meadows: Well, I'm sure Mary would appreciate a call from you.
Emily: Well, should I bring a bottle of champagne to commiserate, or is champagne out of the question?
Dr. Meadows: Let me put it this way -- a little champagne for tonight would be fine, but enjoy it while you can.
Emily: Got it. Thanks.
Dr. Meadows: Mm-hmm.
'Connor': I haven't told Mary anything, and I'm assuming that you won't either.
Alcazar: No, of course not.
'Connor': Look, I love my wife, and I intend to honor the commitment that we've made, but I am dreaming things, I am remembering things that just could not have happened. You know, at least not in the life that mary says we had, and -- and emily. Every time I see Emily, it's like -- it's like we've known each other for years.
Alcazar: Well, if you had, wouldn't Emily have told you?
'Connor': I don't know. I mean, that's the problem. That's why I'm asking for your help. I'm running out of time here.
Alcazar: Why is that?
'Connor': Because I don't want to start a family with all of this unresolved.
Alcazar: I understand that.
'Connor': There's so many things that just don't fit -- Emily, the languages, caviar. Come on, I mean, I feel like -- I feel like that I may have had a life that mary knew nothing about.
Alcazar: That's possible.
'Connor': And I figured that that's why you hired me in the first place because you picked up on it somehow. I mean, I am more educated and more sophisticated than I should be, and either mary knows why and she's hiding it from me or I'm hiding it from her. Either way, I just -- I need to know the truth, and I can't afford to wait to remember it.
Alcazar: You know that I will help you any way I can.
'Connor': Thank you.
Alcazar: I understand your situation more than you realize.
'Connor': Always have.
Alcazar: I find that work helps during the difficult times.
'Connor': Work, yeah. So you have another assignment for me?
Alcazar: Yeah. Corinthos is landing a shipment tonight at Pier 54. What I need you to do is follow it and make sure it arrives, keep me posted.
'Connor': All right. Okay, so you'll put together that dossier?
Alcazar: Right away.
'Connor': Okay.
Alcazar: But, listen, I understand what it means to dream about a woman you may never have. And I know how damaging secrets can be.
Mary: Hi, come in. I'm glad to see you. I never thought I'd say that.
Alcazar: Neither did I.
Mary: Thank you for all of your help when I was hospitalized.
Alcazar: I was glad to help.
Mary: Okay, is there a problem?
Alcazar: Hmm. All right, I'll be honest. Nikolas asked me to put together a dossier of his past, with a particular emphasis on Emily Quartermaine.
Mary: He said her name in his sleep. If he's -- if they spend any more time together, he's going to remember.
Alcazar: Well, that could be inevitable.
Mary: Not if you help me. You said that -- you said that he wanted to know about his past. You can make it look like he was Connor Bishop. I could give you all the information that you need.
Alcazar: You want me to put together a fake dossier?
Mary: I want you to leave me with the man I love. Please -- please, you said you understood.
Alcazar: Yes, I'm sympathetic, but I don't think --
Mary: If you do this, I will be grateful for the rest of my life.
'Connor': Grateful for what?
Emily: Jason, call me when you get this. It's about Nikolas.
Elizabeth: Em?
Emily: Oh, my God!
Elizabeth: Hi, honey!
Emily: Oh, I'm so glad to see you!
Elizabeth: It's so good to see you. God, I have missed you.
Emily: Oh, I've missed you.
Elizabeth: You okay?
Emily: Not even close.
Alcazar: I found an operative who's willing to change your status from AWOL to killed in action.
'Connor': Really?
Alcazar: Yeah. I just need your military I.D., Birth certificate, any documents from the Marines.
Mary: I'll go see what I can find.
'Connor': Well, did you -- you start that dossier?
Alcazar: Yeah, yeah. Shouldn't take too long.
'Connor': Okay.
Alcazar: What about the Corinthos shipment?
'Connor': Oh, yeah. There's still some time before it lands. I'll be at the Elm Street Pier to watch the ship unload, and then I'll just take it from there.
Alcazar: Just let me know.
Mary: Here's everything I have.
Alcazar: Fine. I'll be in touch.
'Connor': Okay. You two seem to be getting along a little better.
Mary: Yeah, I admit I was wrong about him. He really does seem to have our best interests at heart.
'Connor': Yeah, he does.
Mary: That's important in a boss, especially when you're about to start a family.
Mary: Please, God, let me get pregnant soon.
Emily: He's wonderful. He's perfect. He looks just like Zander.
Elizabeth: I think so, too.
Emily: Oh, little Cameron. Your daddy would be so proud. I'm sorry I've been so busy lately.
Elizabeth: Don't even apologize. Skye's trial has been all over the news, and I can tell the verdict was hard on you.
Emily: Yeah, not as hard as it was on Skye. Hey, have you talked to Lucky?
Elizabeth: Uh-uh. No, we've been trading messages. Why?
Emily: I was just wondering. Ahem.
Elizabeth: Okay, am I supposed to pretend to believe that? Emily, tell me what's going on.
Emily: Oh. I don't know where to start.
Elizabeth: Well, why did you ask me about Lucky?
Emily: He wants to be more than friends.
Elizabeth: You and Lucky?
Emily: I know, Elizabeth, it's absurd. It can't happen.
Elizabeth: But apparently he disagrees.
Emily: I know. He's kissed me a couple of times, and, yeah, we've been spending a lot of time together, and -- I don't know -- I mean, maybe he thinks that he owes it to Nikolas to look after me, and he's just talking himself into thinking that he's attracted to me because --
Elizabeth: I could see -- I could see how Lucky would have feelings for you. I mean, you guys have known each other since you were this big.
Emily: I'm in love with Nikolas.
Elizabeth: And you always will be, but that doesn't mean you'll never love anyone else. Em, you've just got to give yourself time. Nikolas hasn't been gone very long, and you just need --
Emily: Elizabeth, Nikolas is alive.
Elizabeth: So let me get this straight -- you and Nikolas made love at Wyndemere, but he didn't remember who you are?
Emily: He ran back to Mary, who just happened to fall in the river that very night.
Elizabeth: And you let him go?
Emily: I was about to tell him, Elizabeth, when he got the call from Mary. I mean, I even went to Mercy Hospital, but I just couldn't.
Elizabeth: Okay. Why not?
Emily: Jason.
Elizabeth: Excuse me?
Emily: Do you know why Jason's a gangster? Because he hated everyone who tried to make him remember. He ran away from them, Elizabeth. He punished them by going someplace that they couldn't follow.
Elizabeth: So you think if you tell Nikolas the truth he's going to work for Sonny?
Emily: Elizabeth, you didn't know Jason the first couple of years after the accident -- I mean, how angry he was. He took these insane chances. I mean, at least -- at least Nikolas is safe with Mary. He doesn't have brain damage. I mean, eventually, he could remember.
Elizabeth: Okay, but if -- let's just say Mary does get pregnant in the meantime.
Emily: Mm-hmm.
Elizabeth: Nikolas is going to feel obligated to her for the rest of his life. He may even stay with her for the sake of the baby. Emily, you have got to tell him.
Emily: What if it drives him away, Elizabeth, or -- or he lashes out and it puts him in danger, or --
Elizabeth: Again, if mary gets pregnant, and then Nikolas discovers the truth, how are you going to explain to him that you knew all along?
Emily: You're right. I have to tell him the truth tonight.
Elizabeth: I never quite pictured us here, did you?
Lucky: No, not at all.
Elizabeth: It's a long way from Greenwich Village and the art school.
Lucky: Yeah. Yeah.
Elizabeth: Oh, God, life was so simple back then.
Lucky: Me being angry at my father. Yeah, that was my worst problem, and now I don't even know where he is.
Elizabeth: Yeah, Emily told me. I wish we could just drop everything and go find him.
Lucky: Yeah, well, I may do that soon.
Elizabeth: Well, maybe we should reunite the Four Musketeers.
Lucky: The Three Musketeers. Well, unless you want to count this one.
Elizabeth: Oh, I think he's a little young for that.
Lucky: You know, there's something I should tell you. Emily and I have been getting closer.
Elizabeth: Honey, I think she just needs a little room right now.
Lucky: Because she's still in love with Nikolas. I know. I just -- I should respect her grief and leave it alone, but, see, I can’t. I just -- if Nikolas -- if he were alive --
Elizabeth: He is.
Lucky: What?
Elizabeth: Nikolas is alive.
Alcazar: Has the ship arrived?
'Connor': It'll be unloading soon. Military records?
Alcazar: I found something from your past, but you aren't going to like it.
Emily: Is Nikolas here?
Mary: Emily.
Emily: Yeah, that's right, Mary. I know everything. You found Nikolas after his car accident. He needed a doctor and his family and me, and you kept him away from everyone he loves most! You made him believe he was a deserter! You stole his entire life! And now I am here to give it back to him. Connor Bishop is dead, and Nikolas Cassadine is going home with me.
