Nikolas: Need help?
Emily: Connor had a dream about the war.
Connor: Ain't none of his business.
Emily: Connor, please. We're all in this together.
Connor: That don't -- that don't mean I got to trust him.
Nikolas: No, no, no, he's right. As soon as he recovers from his wounds, he can get out of this country as fast as he can.
Connor: All right, wait. You expect me to thank you for hiding me, hmm? The only reason you're in this is to save your own damn skin.
Emily: Look, fighting isn't going to solve anything.
Connor: Why you with him, anyway, Emily? I mean, you that desperate for his money?
Nikolas: All right, that's enough. You don't talk to her like that.
Connor: Oh. But I'm supposed to be okay with what you did to Mary?
Connor: Mary was an angel, the sweetest person I ever met. You took advantage of that and walked all over her.
Nikolas: I was in a car accident, all right? I couldn't remember who I was. Mary told me that I was her husband, that I was you.
Connor: So it's all her fault? Sure, blame the person who ain't here to defend herself.
Nikolas: She killed two people!
Connor: You didn't shoot her in self-defense, did you? Oh, you just wanted her gone so you could plan your wedding and start your bright, shiny new life with Emily.
Emily: All right, stop it, both of you. All right, we're not going to go on like this.
Nikolas: Emily, it's going to keep going on until he's out of here.
Emily: You're wrong, Nikolas. I know how to end this right now. I want you to leave.
Nikolas: You -- for him? Why should i?
Emily: To keep the peace, Nikolas.
Emily: Nikolas, there is no point in engaging. It's not going to solve anything. Connor is angry and confused, all right?
Nikolas: I --
Emily: It'll be better if I talk to him. Look, I don't like it, either, but we have to keep Connor from turning you in until he gets strong enough to go to Canada.
Nikolas: Be careful.
Connor: Why'd you come back? Shouldn't you be out there soothing your little boyfriend's hurt feelings?
Emily: All right, look, Connor, you need to understand what happened between Nikolas and Mary. I asked Nikolas to leave so that I could tell you the truth.
Connor: And what, I'm just supposed to take your word for it?
Emily: Not mine. Mary's.
Emily: This is Mary's diary. Everything you need to know is in here.
Lucky: I heard from the M.P's. They've been tracking Connor. They're trying to figure out where he's gone.
Nikolas: What'd they find out?
Lucky: Well, no car's been reported stolen since the day he disappeared. No signs of him crossing the border into Canada.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, Connor's a marine. I'm sure he's good at avoiding detection.
Lucky: The M.P's, they believe he's still here in Port Charles.
Nikolas: Hmm.
Lucky: I happen to agree with them.
Nikolas: I don't know. Emily said that --
Lucky: Hey, tell me the truth -- was Emily Connor's hostage? Or did she help him escape from the hospital because she knew he was about to be arrested?
Nikolas: The question's already been answered. There's no reason to go over it again.
Lucky: Ok. Then tell me something else. Connor Bishop hates you for shooting his wife, Mary. If he had a say in it, he'd probably put you away for life. So why are you protecting him?
Connor: I'm not reading Mary's diary. I can't.
Emily: Connor, I know that it'll be difficult, but you need to understand what Mary did and why. Go on.
Connor: You do it.
Emily: Do you want me to read it to you?
Emily: "March 24. I heard someone outside. I looked out and I saw a man collapsed, and when I saw his face, my heart stopped. It was Connor. Of course it can't be Connor. I know he's dead. But this stranger looks so much like him that for a moment, I let myself believe that he was my husband. The man had been in a car accident. He didn't remember who he was. And when he asked me who I was, the words came out before I could stop them."
Mary: I'm Mary. And you're my husband, Connor Bishop.
Emily: "I closed my eyes to the idea that there were people looking for this man, but that ended when I answered the door."
Mary: Yes?
Emily: Um, I need your help. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for this man.
Connor: I don't care what Nikolas says. Or you. Mary's not the one to blame.
Lucky: Nikolas, when he is in custody, he's going to tell anybody that'll listen that he saw you throw Helena off the cliff.
Nikolas: You're the one who said that no one would believe him, that all I'd have to do was deny it.
Lucky: But that was before you helped him escape. You know what? It's going to look like you're hiding something. Now your cover's been blown.
Mac: I figured you'd be warning him.
Nikolas: Warning him about what?
Mac: I have more questions about Connor Bishop's disappearance.
Mac: Emily was vague earlier. Did she become more specific once she got home?
Nikolas: More specific about what?
Mac: The car Connor allegedly stole, for example. She remember anything about it?
Nikolas: I don't know, Mac. She was too busy being kidnapped by an obviously disturbed man, so please don't fault her for not absorbing details.
Lucky: And besides, she's not a trained observer.
Mac: She's got eyes in her head. Just so you know, by the way, the PCPD hasn't received one single auto theft report around the time of Connor's escape.
Nikolas: Maybe the owner's out of town, hasn't realized his or her car is missing.
Mac: There are holes in Emily's story. I see them and so do the military police. Either she's leaving something out or Emily is lying. So I'm asking the two of you, why would she do that?
Emily: You know, maybe reading Mary's diary was a mistake. I'm going to leave it on this table. If you want to read it later, you can.
Connor: Wait, wait.
Connor: You're right, I should hear it.
Emily: "July 5. I've told so many lies, I can't keep track anymore. But emily knows the truth, and there's no going back, no undoing what's been done. All I can do now is make sure that Emily doesn't take Connor away from me."
Connor: Keep reading.
Emily: "I didn't mean to tell Nikolas. I thought he already knew. I said the wrong thing, and then it was too late. I was ashamed. I was terrified by all the hurt I had caused. He looked at me with contempt, and that made it hurt even more."
Nikolas: You are sick and you need help.
Mary: Connor, please, I -- I didn't --
Connor: Is there more?
Emily: Yeah.
Connor: Keep going.
Lucky: Why would Emily pretend to be kidnapped?
Mac: To give Connor Bishop a chance to escape.
Nikolas: No, that -- Mac, that makes no sense. What would motivate Emily to help a man that she'd never seen before and tried to kill her?
Mac: Look, let's go back through some of the circumstances surrounding --
Nikolas: We've already told you everything that we know.
Mac: Humor me. When did you realize Bishop was alive?
Nikolas: I went looking for Emily. I came home and I went up to my bathroom and found signs of a struggle.
Mac: You were understandably afraid that Emily was hurt or worse.
Nikolas: Yes, yes.
Mac: Why suspect supposedly dead Connor Bishop?
Nikolas: Because -- because the launch pilot said that he had seen me at a time that I know I couldn't have been there. And it just clicked, I guess. And at the time, I wasn't inclined to believe anything Mary had said, but the night Emily disappeared, it just fell into place, I guess, and I knew it had to be Connor. Where else would he go other than Mary's house?
Mac: That was the first time you'd ever seen her?
Nikolas: Yes.
Mac: Yeah, but possibly not the first time he'd seen you.
Lucky: Mac, what are you thinking here?
Mac: Mary's death was a big story. Nikolas and Emily's involvement was part of the reason it had legs. Assuming Bishop saw the media coverage, it wouldn't have been hard for him to figure out how to find them. He could have been watching you for days, even weeks.
Nikolas: It's possible. Anything is.
Mac: Bishop also knew about the launch. I mean, he could have taken it out to Eyndemere any number of times, get a feel for the place, your routine. For all we know, Connor Bishop was on Spoon Island the night Helena went over the cliff.
Emily: Connor?
Mac: The military police believe there is a good chance Connor Bishop is still in Port Charles, and I agree.
Nikolas: Like I said, anything is possible.
Mac: But you don't believe it.
Nikolas: Connor Bishop wanted to get away badly enough to try and escape, kidnap Emily. Why stick around?
Mac: He blames you for his wife's death, Nikolas. You see holes, unanswered questions. Look, if you and emily remember any answers, you'd be wise to bring them to me, because if you don't and it comes out later that you knew more than you were saying, it won't look good for you. That goes double for you, Officer Spencer.
Lucky: I want to be real clear about something. I'd risk anything, my job, my life, for you and Emily. Connor Bishop is on his own.
Nikolas: I'm not asking you to put yourself on the line, Lucky.
Lucky: Not yet, but you will. He's a wild card, okay, all right? He doesn't have anything to lose, and he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who's grateful, all right? He doesn't -- he hates you, Nikolas. You can't trust him. If you're protecting him, and I'm pretty sure you are, you better give him up or be prepared to be arrested, tried, and convicted for Helena's murder.
Connor: Being alone was Mary's biggest fear. And that's exactly what happened. She's alone, in the ground, her whole life thrown away for nothing.
Emily: You blame Nikolas for Mary's death. You want revenge. But is that really the way to honor your wife's memory, Connor? Not the woman that Mary became by the end of her diary, but the one that you fell in love with, the sweet, gentle, unassuming girl that you chose when you were still children? Connor, think about that Mary.
Connor: I am thinking about her. And I understand it now. It's my fault.
