January 10, 2005 Screencaps

Connor Bishop is also played by Tyler Christopher, who plays Nikolas Cassadine.

Emily: Nikolas and I can be alone? No prison guards, no interruptions?

Alexis: That's right.

Emily: Just the two of us?

Alexis: Yes.

Emily: When?

Alexis: Today. In fact, the visits are between 4:00 and 8:00, so we have to go.

Emily: Then let's go.

Connor: You can't.

Emily: You're saying that I can't go visit my own husband?

Connor: It's a bad idea.

Emily: It's none of your business.

Connor: What if Helena follows you?

Alexis: Or one of her people will. She's probably having you watched.

Connor: If Helena thinks I'm Nikolas, why would she go to Pentonville?

Emily: To keep up the scam. Connor, it's going to look more suspicious if I don't go.

Connor: Why even take the risk? I mean, if this plan works, Nikolas could go free and then you can see him all you want.

Emily: Look, I'm going, okay? I need to see my husband. He needs to know about the plan, especially if we think that Helena's closing in.

Alexis: You know what? He may have a point. Maybe we should reconsider. Because if the plan works, Nikolas is going to be released very soon anyway, and if we push this, then Helena's going to find out and it's going to jeopardize everything, most of all your own life.

Emily: I'm not afraid of Helena.

Alexis: You should be.

Emily: Alexis, she's not going to stop me from seeing my husband. Hey, I don't care about the dangers or the risks or anything else. I'm going. Are you coming with me or not?

Emily: Luke has it all figured out.

Nikolas: Luke? Luke isn't exactly my biggest advocate, you know.

Emily: But he hates Helena and he's really good at this kind of thing.

Nikolas: Oh, yeah, I'm sure he's got some crazy plan that'll never work. I'm sure he does.

Emily: It could work.

Nikolas: What is it?

Emily: All we have to do is trick Helena. She's going to come out of hiding. We'll take her to prison to show that your so-called victim is still alive and --

Nikolas: No, no, Emily. What's the plan? The plan?

Emily: Okay. Connor now looks exactly like you, as you know.

Nikolas: Connor? Tell me you didn't go after him.

Emily: He was in Ontario. I'm teaching him to be exactly like you.

Nikolas: You -- you think Connor Bishop can convince Helena that he's me?

Emily: Luke suspects that Helena's blackmailing Tracy, so Dillon started this whole rumor --

Nikolas: Whoa, Tracy? Dillon? How many people are involved in this?

Emily: Too many, but I don't think there's any way around it, and so far it really seems to be working, so --

Nikolas: What -- what rumor?

Emily: That Connor's serving your time here in Pentonville.

Nikolas: While I'm, what, wandering around in Port Charles? Why would I do that?

Emily: Look, I already took him to the masquerade party as you in disguise, and Helena fell for it.

Nikolas: Why?

Emily: She hired an actress to attend who was helena's exact height, exact build. She was paid $10,000 to go to this party. An anonymous employer gave her a note and said that I was going to approach her.

Nikolas: But you didn't actually see Helena, right? No. And you won't because she's dead.

Nikolas: No, it's -- the plan's too complicated. Too many people know about it.

Emily: Look, Luke's good at stuff like this, Nikolas. He's motivated to catch Helena. He's wanted to for years. You're just a means to an end.

Nikolas: What does Connor get out of all this, besides unlimited access to you?

Emily: Connor feels terrible about what happened.

Nikolas: Yeah, so much, he's willing to put his life on the line to trick Helena? I doubt that.

Emily: It is the only plan that can work.

Nikolas: I don't trust Connor Bishop and I don't want him anywhere near you, okay?

Emily: Well, I don't either, but what other choice do I have, Nikolas? Do you really want to spend the rest of our marriage in a place like this?

Nikolas: No, no, I don't, but I don't want you taking crazy chances in the name of false hope. Helena's fall was real. She's dead. She's gone.

Emily: I don't believe that anymore.

Nikolas: You don't believe it because you don't want to believe it. You're trying to take a shortcut to get me free, Emily, and it's not going to happen.

Emily: Look, I want the truth to come out. I want Helena to pay for what she did to you, for what she did to us.

Nikolas: I know.

Emily: All right, this can work. Nikolas, we'll get you out of here and all this is going to be over.

Helena: Hello, Nikolas.

Guard: Time's up, lovebirds.

Emily: You can't knock first?

Guard: Ooh, you like them a little spunky, do you?

Emily: Okay. I'll see you soon.

Guard: Some weather's coming. You might not want to risk the drive back.

Emily: I'll be fine.

Guard: There's a little motel right up the road.

Connor: Grandmother.

Helena: Well, darling, why so glum?

Connor: I was wondering when you would appear.

Helena: I didn't fool you at all?

Connor: Maybe a little. Care for a glass of wine?

Helena: How kind of you. Yes. Yes, certainly.

Connor: Well, I hope this is drinkable.

Helena: Salud.

Helena: Aren't you angry with me at all?

Connor: Well, I did toss you off of a cliff.

Helena: There is that.

Connor: Fortunately for me, however, Connor Bishop agreed to serve my time.

Helena: How did you convince him to do such a thing?

Connor: I didn't. He offered. Felt guilty, I suppose.

Helena: Why? Doesn't he know that you shot his pathetic little wife?

Connor: Yes. That's why Connor originally turned me in for killing you.

Helena: Then why would he agree to serve your time in prison?

Connor: He realized that there's no point in revenge, that by destroying my life won't bring back Mary's. He'll go free, however, as soon as the police know that you're alive. He won't have to pay for the hell that you've put me through.

Helena: But why do you care what happens to Connor Bishop? Why would you lift a finger to help that pitiful peasant who's after your wife? Unless -- you're not my Nikolas at all.
