'Connor': I've never seen you more beautiful, have I?
Mary: Nope, never once. Another toast?
'Connor': Yes -- to our wedding night and to all our nights together for the rest of our lives.
Mary: To us.
Emily: I -- I am probably breaking all kinds of confidentiality rules, but I am wondering about the -- the man next door.
Bellhop: Is there a problem?
Emily: No -- not at all, but he looks like a guy I went to college with. Do you know his name?
Bellhop: Connor Bishop. He is here on his honeymoon.
Emily: You won't believe what just happened.
Lucky: What, you know about it?
Emily: How'd you find out about it?
Lucky: I called Alexis. My dad - he escaped from jail and Skye helped him with it, but she's under arrest for murder -- for killing Ross Duncan, you know? And now, they think that Skye -- she helped my mom escape from the institute and framed her for murder.
Emily: Yeah -- oh, God. Yeah. It's crazy.
Lucky: Listen, I need to go home.
Emily: Yeah -- no, I understand.
Lucky: Okay. How did you know about it?
Emily: That was something else. Don't worry about it.
Emily: Hi.
'Connor': Oh -- I'm -- I'm sorry, I didn't realize --
Emily: Do you know who I am?
'Connor': You're -- you're Emily. And I know that we've never met, but now's probably --
Emily: Never -- never met? I mean, the bellhop said that your name is Connor Bishop and you're --
'Connor': I -- I --
Emily: Here on your honeymoon!
'Connor': Emily, I am -- I am Connor Bishop. Look, I know that Mary --
Emily: No, wait -- Connor Bishop is dead! He was a marine! He was killed --
'Connor': I know --
Emily: In Iraq!
'Connor': I know. Emily, Emily, Emily, I will explain. Just please keep your voice down. I don't want to ruin this for Mary. We're on a second honeymoon.
Emily: All right. That's impossible.
'Connor': Would you just let me explain? Please.
Emily: Yeah. I'd really like -- I'd really like to understand.
'Connor': Okay. Okay, I know that Mary told you that she was a widow. Okay?
Emily: She talked about it all the time.
'Connor': I know, but obviously, that's not true, but there's a good reason for it -- she's covering for me. Emily, I am a deserter from the marines. Okay?
Emily: Right.
'Connor': I was -- look, look, look, wait, wait. I was injured in the war. Okay? I was -- I was missing and I was presumed dead. That's the -- the military even -- they told mary that. They had a memorial for me. They even -- they even gave her a flag. It's in our living room.
Emily: Yeah. I've seen it.
'Connor': But there was a mistake. There was a mistake in identification. Okay? In actuality, I was in a V.A. Hospital recovering from my injuries and when it was time for me to report back to my unit, mary -- she couldn't take it. She -- she begged me to stay with her and I -- I guess I gave in because I left the hospital --
Emily: Whoa, what -- you guess? You --
'Connor': I -- I -- yes. I don't remember what happened. Okay, I think I may have -- I hit my head or -- had a fight with the M.P.S. I don't know, I don't remember. I was -- I was wandering around, and Mary brought me back to our house.
Emily: Okay. Why can't you remember?
'Connor': Just waking up, trying to recall where I was, who I was. And then -- and then I realized that I didn't know anything, Emily. It was just a complete sense of disorientation. I -- I panicked. I panicked, so Mary explained to me what happened. Look, I -- I didn't know her. I didn't even -- I didn't know myself. I couldn't recall our life together or even loving her. But, you know, somehow she -- she got me through it. She helped me heal.
Emily: She's told a lot of lies.
'Connor': I -- yes, I know. But it -- but it was to protect me. Emily, emily, I -- I am a fugitive. If the military finds me, I will go to prison for desertion, so Mary -- she has to pretend that I'm dead. Look, I -- I know that that -- that must seem unimaginably cruel to you, given the real grief that you feel for your fiance, but that -- that is the truth.
Emily: You -- you know about Nikolas?
'Connor': Yes, I do. I've -- I've heard you tell Mary about him. And I've seen you alone and crying about it. The night that you -- you know, you spun your car off the road?
Emily: Yeah.
'Connor': I carried you back to our house.
Emily: I wish you'd said something.
'Connor': I know, but I -- I have to hide. It's the only way that I can be with Mary.
Emily: You want to stay with her?
'Connor': Of course. She's my wife.
'Connor': It took a while, but we finally found a way to start over and, little by little, I fell in love with her. I -- I may not know the man that I -- that I used to be, Emily, but I know who I am now, and honestly, I -- I really couldn't imagine my life without Mary.
Mary: Connor?
'Connor': Oh, look, I -- I have to go. Will you please -- please, don't tell anyone about this?
Emily: Not a word. It'll be as if we -- we never even met.
'Connor': Okay. Thank you.
Emily: Okay.
Mary: You've given me the most beautiful honeymoon a bride could ever dream of.
'Connor': Are you sure that you're ready to spend the rest of your life with me?
Mary: Yeah.
'Connor': And do you realize that I may never again carve you a wooden duck?
Mary: Oh, my God. I -- I never thought of that.
'Connor': Can you handle the disappointment?
Mary: No. Uh-uh.
'Connor': What do you mean, no? What do you mean --
Mary giggles.
Mary: No -- ah! Oh, no! Ah! Ah! No!
Mary laughs and screams.
