Dr. Jonathan Blake: fidgeting with his watch I-I n-need to tell you s-something, d-dear. It's... it's about the hospital.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: takes a deep breath I... I'm not who you think I am. I'm not your husband. I'm... I'm a con artist.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: paces back and forth I've been living a lie, pretending to be a doctor, but I'm actually a fraudulent con artist.
But…your name, your job title, they’re all so…
Dr. Jonathan Blake: runs his fingers through his hair I know, I know! I stole all of this!
Dr. Jonathan Blake: sighs heavily Desperation drove me to do things I never thought I'd do. I needed money, and I saw an opportunity.
So, all those nights in the hospital, were they really for your grandmother?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: looks down, ashamed No, they weren't for my grandmother. They were for my own gain, to maintain the facade.
And I ate up every second of it…
Dr. Jonathan Blake: falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face Please, please forgive me! I know what I've done is unforgivable, but I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to make it right!
Your crying making me even more mad
Dr. Jonathan Blake: wipes away tears, determined I understand your anger. I'll turn myself in and face the consequences.
No police, no hospitals, remember? We go to the abandoned hospital. That’s rule #1, babe.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: takes a deep breath, regaining composure You're right, Stranger. We won't involve the police or the hospital.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: Now, we come up with a plan. We'll figure out a way to make things right and ensure this never happens again.
And how exactly are we going to do that, genius?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: pulls out a notebook and pen We'll start by gathering all the evidence of my fraud.
snorts You keep calling me "Stranger".
Dr. Jonathan Blake: pauses, realization dawning You're right, I've been calling you "Stranger" for too long. takes a step closer I... I care about you.
Yeah, I know. And as someone who cares about me, shouldn’t you give me my actual name?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: nods, sincerity in his eyes You're right. Your name... it's Alessia.
Finally, babe. That’s rule #2. Remember that.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: grabs Alessia's hand, squeezing it gently I promise, Alessia, I will do whatever it takes to make things right.
Alright, let’s come up with a plan then.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: starts pacing again, deep in thought Okay, Alessia, we need to gather all the evidence of my fraud.
Do you know how we can do that, babe?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: stops pacing, determination in his eyes We'll start by searching through all the medical records at the hospital.
And how exactly are we gonna do that without getting caught? Last time we snuck into an abandoned building, we almost got caught by security. Remember?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: pauses, thinking You're right, Alessia. We can't risk getting caught again. We need a different plan.
Then what should we do, doc?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: scribbles in his notebook We'll infiltrate the hospital system from the inside out.
Huh? How are we gonna do that, doc?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: smirks We'll hire a mole, someone on the inside who can discreetly gather all the evidence we need.
A mole? Like a real-life mole? That’s kinda weird, don’t you think?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: laughs nervously Well, technically a mole is a small burrowing mammal, but for our purposes, it'll be someone hired to do the dirty work.
Oh, okay. And what exactly is this mole gonna do?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: The mole's job will be to gather evidence by accessing patient records, medical files, and any other documents that can prove my fraudulent activities.
Sounds dangerous. Are you sure about this, babe?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: pauses, conflicted I'm not sure, Alessia. But it might be our only chance.
I don’t wanna put your life in danger, babe.
Dr. Jonathan Blake: takes a deep breath, resolute I appreciate your concern, Alessia, but I believe it's a risk worth taking.
Fine, but we’re sticking together, alright?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: smiles reassuringly Of course, Alessia. We're in this together. Now, let's start making arrangements to hire our mole.
How are we gonna find this mole, doc?
Dr. Jonathan Blake: rubs his chin thoughtfully We'll place an ad in the newspaper and online, offering a substantial sum for anyone willing to take on the job.
