Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 1, Episode 15 - Any Means Possible - full transcript

Nine years ago,
I witnessed my mother's murder.

I would have been killed, too,
if it hadn't been for Vincent.

I was part of an experimental
special forces group.

Their goal was to create
the perfect super soldier.

But something went wrong.

You're him.

Muirfield is still out there,

and they want me dead.

I am scared for you.

You don't have to be.

If you're not gonna



protect yourself, I will.

I'm Dr. Sorenson.
You would be

an asset to our
organization.

I'd like you to meet my brother.
This is Darius.

- Dinner?
- Darius?

You brought her in. It's
your finger on the trigger.

I killed him.

Who? Darius.

Well, I'm standing here
waiting to hear

the amazing reason you're
destroying evidence.

I'll put in for a new partner
in the morning.

I want for you
to have what you want.

What I want
is to be with you.

I love you.

Vincent, are you okay?

Just wait a sec.

It'll pass.

Vincent, it's me.

Just calm down.

Vincent, just breathe.

I said get away!

Vincent.

Vincent, please.

Please.

Vincent.

Vincent, you awake?

Hey, yeah.

Hey.

Look who got
her own house key.

Who knew?

Uh, what's going on?

Not much.
Just in the neighborhood.

You're seriously
going with that?

I thought that maybe
the two of us could hang out.

If you're not
doing anything.

Right now?

Yeah.

He's not

doing anything.

Right, V?

In the day.

I mean, you're like
Mr. Nocturnal Guy, right?

I have class, anyway.

Let me just
grab my things.

Probably won't be back
for several hours.

Uh, I'll just put
a shirt on.

Okay.

Yeah, of course.

I was just thinking
about that.

Not-not about that.

Um, just...

about the kiss.

I just...

Hey, you know what?

I-I actually have got
to get going, so...

Right now?

Yeah.

What are you, like,
running errands these days?

Grocery shopping?

Okay, I just...

I thought that we, um...

After the other night...

Don't you...

Yeah, I do.

Believe me, I do want that.

Clearly.

The way you are trying to race
out of here.

Come on, I'm
not racing out.

Vincent, is this about
what happened with Darius?

Because you didn't
have a choice.

I want you to know that if
you didn't act when you did,

Heather would be dead.

Yes, thank you.

Uh, I will see you later, okay?

I promise.

This is very interesting.

I had no idea the creature
was mutating so quickly.

You have our phone number.

You think of anything else,
you let us know.

That's it?

I gave my research to Muirfield

because h-he promised me
a position.

He said that we would find the
cross-species creature together.

I don't care what
deal he offered you.

He doesn't
make that call.

I can do more than just

pass off thumb drives
and autopsy reports.

I-I don't understand.

W-Why is this so
important to you?

It almost
seems personal.

Maybe I just don't want to see
anybody else get hurt.

That's noble.

But noble isn't
the same as useful.

You're not
Muirfield material.

Says the man who was
just gaping at my research.

Careful, Dr. Marks.

Look, you-you are desperate.

You need me.

I'm desperate?

Look at you.

You're nervous, you're
breathing quick,

you're wiping your sweaty
palms on your pants,

and at one point,

I'm pretty sure
you stuttered.

To the trained eye,
you are a nervous wreck.

Time for you to leave,
Dr. Marks.

Unless you want
to go feet first.

Is this about the mystery guy
at your dad's wedding?

I don't know, Brooke,
I just thought

that we were finally ready

to move forward
in our relationship.

Oh, my gosh, have
you two not gotten freaky yet?

It is not about that.

It's been months.

It's more complicated

than me stripping down naked
and saying,

"Do me, do me now."

Can I take
a shower first?

Uh, I-I got to go.

Okay.

N-Not to worry,

but you should know you are
in the wrong locker room.

You sure about that?

Uh, okay.

Yeah.

Just for the record,

anyone who passes on the chance
to get naked with you

is out of his mind.

Dry cappuccino,
double shot.

Cat...

Yes, I realize
this coffee

is not gonna fix our
entire partnership.

I just need two minutes
of girl time to vent.

You don't even have
to say anything.

Okay, I'm at the gym.

I just...

I needed to work out
some frustration.

Yes, because
of Vincent,

who I know that you're
not a big fan of.

But, um, I don't know,

I thought that we were taking
things to the next level,

but instead, he--

You know the, you know
the trophy with the hand?

The Heisman?

Yes.

This is making me feel
better already, thank you.

That's what I'm here for.

At least, that's what
I used to be here for.

Okay, but it gets worse.

So, then I go
into the showers,

and I run into
half-naked guy.

As if I needed
any more reminding

that my love life is in rewind
and that the "mystery ma""

would rather go grocery shopping...

Ladies.

I was just telling our new

district attorney here
how professional you were.

Highest clearance rate
in the city.

You mention that?

He did.

Gabe Lowan.
Detective Vargas.

And this is my--

This is
Detective Chandler.

It's very nice to meet you.

Yes, same.

Lieutenant, shall we?

I'll show you
to your office.

Detectives.

Office?

What's the new A.D.A. doing
setting up shop here?

The vigilante's
been stacking up bodies.

And the rumor is
Lowan's investigating Joe

for not putting more resources
into catching him sooner.

That's why
he brought on those guys.

Yeah.

Great to have you here.

Who are they?

Garnett and Newell.

On indefinite loan
to Special Crimes.

They're here to help
catch the vigilante.

Maybe find the missing
assailant in Darius's murder,

finally get a witness
to I.D. this bastard.

Okay, so Joe's hired assassins.

No.

He brought in guys

to help put away
a dangerous psycho.

Sometimes you need a little
"shoot first,

ask questions later."

Vargas, A.D.A.
needs to speak with you.

Upstairs in the
conference room. Hustle.

So how's Joe doing?

Just curious.

I'd say extremely well,
given the circumstances.

Right, but it's got
to be hard.

A case like this
hits so close to home.

Is this a social call
or official business?

'Cause I've got
a murderer to catch.

You sound defensive.

Defensive? Please.

Try insulted.

The whole
friendly facade,

like I've never conducted
an interrogation.

If you're asking
if Joe's up to the task

of catching the vigilante,
the answer is yes, he is.

Fair enough.

But it's not just Joe
I'm looking into.

It's the entire
Special Crimes Unit.

I prosecute cases based on
evidence your team provides.

I'm concerned that process
is being compromised.

Now, I see
in your file that

you recently requested
a partner transfer.

So what did
Detective Chandler do

to ruin the partnership?

Nothing. Cat's great.

It was just time for a change.

"Change." Really?

Right after
evidence was tampered with

in a questionable suicide case
you two handled.

I've combed through
every one of your cases.

A page was torn out of
a dead reporter's notebook.

Last chance.
Is there anything

that you want to tell me
about Detective Chandler?

So...

how'd it go?

Uh, it didn't.

What?

I just spent three hours
in my office

throwing pencils at the ceiling.

Even I get laid
by the 23rd date.

Come on, man.

You know it's not like that.

I just... I don't know.

I guess...

I'm afraid, you know?

That was years ago. You're...

You can handle things

better now.

Hey, there.

I was just leaving.

Again.

With more pencils.

Vincent, I'm... I'm afraid.

Things, they're
getting out of hand.

I know, and I need to explain.

No. Joe, he...

he brought in these two
trigger-happy cops.

To hunt you.

I'm sorry.

I always knew that I would take
a bullet for what I was.

I just... I always thought

Muirfield would be the ones
pulling the trigger.

What, you just
accepted that?

Having them hunt me is
the easier part to live with.

And what part of getting shot
can't you live with?

Oh, you haven't seen?

Uh, what they say about me
in the papers,

that I'm a cold-blooded killer,

that I will hunt
innocent people.

They're looking for
the assailant

that got away
before you killed Darius,

the one that ordered

the hit on Heather.

If we can find him,
maybe we can...

What, convince him

to say that
the police chief's brother

wasn't some stand-up kid?

That he deserved to have
his neck snapped in two?

No, he can testify
that you were just trying

to protect my sister.

Vincent, we're running out
of time.

I convinced Tess to talk to Joe.

You know, maybe they
should just lock me up.

Every time I try
and save someone,

I end up killing
someone instead.

You know, public
enemy number one.

Okay, we are going
to get through this.

Vincent, I am trying
to help you.

You keep pulling back
because of what, some headline?

No, I keep pulling back because
I don't want to hurt you.

This will sound strange,
but I had this dream.

We were starting up,

and it was good.

It was, it was great.

But I began to change,
and, uh...

It was, it was a nightmare.

No.

'Cause nightmares
you wake up from.

Okay, two years ago...

I was with a woman.

And, uh, we were
getting close,

and my adrenaline
kicked in.

I tried to fight it,
I did, but...

I couldn't stop from changing.

Okay.

Um...

What happened?

Did you...

Did you kill her?

No.

But only because she got away.

Vincent, you... you have always

been able to control yourself
with me.

Then I've been putting up
a good front.

The truth is,

I've never felt
so out of control

than when I do
when I'm with you.

Deejays, lighting
systems, top-shelf liquor.

Doesn't sound
like my kind of party.

It was Darius's kind.

Three months ago, he
opened a VIP lounge

with 100 grand of operating
cash from an unknown source.

The club never
turned a profit.

Which makes it hard
to pay off debt.

Yeah, and it
isn't good

if the loan shark you
owe is Gregory Cole.

He's the guy found
dead with Darius.

He's a known associate of the
East River Crime Syndicate.

You mean the guy I killed.
Vincent...

Sorry, one of the guys
that I killed.

Okay, which saved
Heather's life.

If we find the guy
who fled the scene,

we find the guy
who can prove

that you are a hero.

I'm sorry.

Uh, no, I get it.

Probably should have
told you, uh,

before things got this far.

I just, I didn't know how,
you know?

I just couldn't
handle the fact

that you might pull away,

or you might hate me as much
as I hate myself right now.

How could I ever hate you?

It would be like hating
a part of myself.

So what do we do?

'Cause believe me,
it's not like I don't want to.

Preaching to the choir.

Until we figure this out,

maybe we just need to
keep our hands to ourselves.

Check out this guy.

His name's Curtis Roth.

He's a mid-level money
guy in the syndicate.

Was he the one who...?

Put the screws
to Darius that night? No.

Okay, well,
I'm sure he knows who did.

These guys all talk.

He's got a bar in Tribeca.

Okay, so, what,
you bring him in now?

If Joe finds out that
I'm trying to prove

the vigilante innocent, he's
gonna kick me off the unit.

But if I go in there

and quietly ask
some questions...

No. They'll know you're a cop,
and these guys are dangerous.

I'll do it.

No. I've done
this before.

So have I.

Let's just leave it at
I know how they operate, okay?

I don't want you risking

Now, is there anything in here
about Curtis's associates?

He was arrested in April
with this guy Stocky Green.

Heard you're the guy
to see about a loan.

Straight up, I need 80 grand.

There's an ATM
around the corner.

Yeah, you see, uh...

Stocky sent me.

Doesn't mean I know you.

May I?

I'm out of the service now,
but I got myself

in a little bit
of debt overseas,

and I got to make it right,
and fast.

Now, the thing is,
I'd rather deal with guys

that would break my knees
before they broke my neck,

if you know what I mean.

Plus, I got collateral.

I can get my hands
on M4s,

M14s, XM25s--

all untraceable.

I need to run it by my boss.

Call your boss.
You got 24 hours.

Otherwise, I got to go
someplace else.

Hey.

I got a big order here.
Let me talk to Ray.

Ray Sheckman.

You really
think that this

well-known portfolio manager
is our missing assailant?

He's been investigated
twice for loan sharking,

both in cases connected to
the East River Crime Syndicate,

but no arrests.

I was hoping that you'd found
some evidence

linking him to Darius's murder.

In all of those?

Not even close.

Those are all from
the crime scene?

Minus the six boxes
I've already been through.

But if you want
to get your man,

you better find
some other evidence, fast.

What do you mean?
Garnett and Newell were just here.

Your boy Sheckman is on
their list of possible suspects

that they've also linked
to the syndicate.

They're trying to get warrants.

Even for Sheckman?

I don't think they've got enough
to present to a judge,

but I wouldn't put it past them
to fabricate evidence.

How'd you get onto him?

Ah, just a hunch.

A hunch?

If you're right,

Ray Sheckman
might be the only person

who's ever seen
this vigilante's face.

He could be the key
to this whole investigation.

Then I better hurry.

Wouldn't want to lose a collar

to the new meatheads
on the block.

Dr. Marks. This better be good.

It's better than good.

I've got a witness.

And he's seen our cross-
species creature up close.

If I can find him
and learn what he saw,

would you be willing to expand
our working arrangement?

Give me a name.

If he's as big of a threat

as you say he is,
we can discuss it.

Right. Don't call me,
I'll call you.

No, I'll take care of this
myself, and then we'll talk.

So how's your little
investigation coming along?

Is this your way of telling me
you're not worried?

And seeing what
I'm up against.

It's going fine.

And it's just
an informal appraisal,

it's not a witch hunt.

So when do I get pulled into
one of your "appraisals"?

Tell you the truth,
I'm kind of avoiding you.

Look, I know you must have
done something major

to end things with Tess.

No one walks away from the
number of collars you two had.

Flattery?

Is that supposed to lure me into
a false confession? 'Cause...

But I also know that you believe
in getting justice,

even if it means
crossing some lines.

You obviously feel
some kind of greater purpose.

We are not on
the same side.

Not even close.

We're closer than you think.

My mother was murdered, too.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I was pretty young.

Uh, much younger than you were.

But I still live with it
like it was yesterday.

What can you do?

Anyway, um, back to avoiding.

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

So you found Ray Sheckman.

I did.

Are you sure that he's the one

that ordered Darius
to kill Heather?

From the photo
you sent me, absolutely.

Okay, it's not gonna
be easy to prove.

He has friends in high places.

Well, that explains why
he hasn't been arrested.

It also made him really easy
to track down.

He's, uh, on the board
for the Whitmore Museum.

They have their
open gala tonight.

Okay, so what,
in the morning we...?

No, it's gonna
be too late.

Remember those trigger-happy
cops I told you about?

They're onto Sheckman?

Yeah, they suspect he was
there the night Darius died.

If they arrest him
before we get to him,

you know what he's gonna say.

Yeah, that he was
an innocent bystander

who saw me kill Darius
in cold blood.

Which is why we need to
convince him to tell the truth,

jog his memory.

You like the dress?

Yeah. It's beautiful.

Good. I was hoping
you'd say that,

because I need
some backup tonight.

And...

this is what you'll be wearing.

♪

Shouldn't you be
looking for Ray?

I was trying, but it's hard
when you're distracted.

Isn't that Sheckman?

Yeah. Great.

Yeah, that's him.

I'd better go.

Are you sure
you're okay with this?

Planting evidence?

If it's gonna get you justice.

Hey.

Want to join me?

Maybe this should wait
till tomorrow.

Um, hmm.

What is it?

Look, I know you're going
through a lot right now.

I can't begin to imagine.

But we've got an A.D.A.
camped down the hall,

and you're bringing in
Garnett and Newell?

Whoa, whoa,
they're good detectives.

In a demilitarized zone, sure.

But not here.

Maybe you need
to take it easy, and...

not just with hunting down

this vigilante,
but with us, too.

Where is this even coming from?

I don't know.

Maybe it's the giant
microscope hovering over you.

The last thing you need

is an affair with a subordinate
blowing up in your face.

Okay, okay,
so we will be discreet.

Like we always have been.

Tess.

Don't.

Why not?

This whole world is going crazy.

A week ago, my baby brother
was standing outside this door,

watching me

get an award.

Now he's dead.

You...

you were the only thing that
makes any kind of sense to me.

Am I the only one
that feels this way?

♪

Amber.
Gabe.

Nice to see you again.

And you.

Oh.

Wow.

My bad. That's all you.

Thanks.

You know, you have amazing eyes.

Thank you.

You look so familiar.

Uh, Ray Sheckman.

You're even cuter
than in your photo.

You're on the charity's
board, right?

The Youth Education Initiative?

Yeah. That's what this is
all about.

Got to get drunk
for the kids.

You're so funny.

You know what
the one bad thing

about this party is?

What's that?

I'll make it right.

I wanted to see

the Asian gallery exhibit,
but it's closed.

I could arrange a private tour.

If you want.

Grab a drink and meet me there?

Done.

♪

♪

Hello?

Are you out here?

Yeah, but you have to find me.

I can do that.

What's taking you so long?

Just trying to find you,
like you said.

You're getting warmer.

I'm still looking.

All right.

I think I'm gonna need a hint.

What the hell
is going on?

Darius Bishop,
the club promoter.

He owed you
a hundred grand.

And when you tried to beat it
out of him,

the girl he was with, she
threatened to tell the police.

So you ordered him to kill her.

Is that what you think?

Let's see, you want
proof, so you're a cop.

And you got a gun to my head,

which means
you're a desperate cop.

I don't need evidence.

I have you.

Remember that martini glass
you picked up?

I took it from you
for a reason.

What if I lifted
the prints off that glass

and I said they came
from the murder scene?

I don't know.

Maybe you killed Darius.

You stupid, stupid bitch.

Yeah, you shouldn't
say that right now.

Unless you want
to be next,

you're gonna go to the police,
and you're gonna tell them

that you ordered Darius
to kill that woman.

How the vigilante
saved her life.

How he was just a guy
trying to do the right thing.

Just a... a guy?

You didn't get a good look
at his face.

But he saw yours.

Anywhere you go-- your
girlfriend's studio in Chelsea,

that cheesy dinner club
you bring your clients--

he will find you.

So... do we have a deal?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We got a deal.

Good.

Sir, are you okay?

I just saw...
I just saw...

What did you see?
D-Did you see someone?

I don't know, it's...
Some... thing?

Evan.

I didn't know
we ran in the same circles.

That makes two of us.

Gabe Lowan.
Yeah.

Assistant District Attorney.
You're Ray Sheckman, right?

Yeah, your office investigated
me for loan sharking.

Listen, you got,
you got a minute?

There's something I want to
explain to you, all right?

To an officer
of the court.

Well, this should
be interesting.

Okay, sure.

Enjoy the rest of
the party, Evan.

All right.

Vincent, he saw you.

Good.

Okay, maybe not
so good, but...

it's better than
you trying to

plant evidence
to protect me.

You know, I thought for sure

we'd be picking up
pieces of Ray.

Believe me, me, too.

But you were in control.

Yeah, I was.

I don't know, I guess...

I kept thinking
about tomorrow's paper.

The whole city reading

that I'm not such
a monster after all.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Um, I should probably go.

Okay.

So no one sees us together.

Catherine, wait.

♪

♪ I'll be like sugar

♪ Call me

♪ Tell me how you like...

You're right, you
should probably go.

♪ Baby, I'll follow your lead

♪ Take me to the wild

♪ I've been lonely.

Full immunity.

That's what I want
in exchange

for what I'm about
to tell you.

Which is?

I saw what happened

at that double murder
in SoHo last week.

That cop's brother,
Darius Bishop.

Lieutenant Bishop's
little brother.

It didn't happen the way
you think it did.

He only killed Darius
to save the girl.

And the rest
I will tell you

when I see our deal
in writing.

Yeah.

Before I grab pad and pen,

let me ask you
one thing.

Did you get
a good look at him?

This vigilante?

No, he was just some guy.

Ray...

something tells me
you're not telling the truth.

Hello?

Dr. Marks. It's me.

About your little soiree
last night--

I take it you found
your witness?

Yeah.

I found him, but he was about

to talk to
the damn assistant D.A.

Well, congratulations.

You did the right thing,
much to my surprise.

I'd rather you silence a witness

than have him talk
to the authorities.

Just, next time,

try to keep it
off the front page.

Corpse in a museum basement
isn't exactly discreet.

Yeah, my mistake.

You're right.

I should have been more careful.

Don't beat yourself up.
You did a good thing.

Our agreement... it's on.

I'll be in touch.

Chandler, let's go!

Fellas, come in.

As of this minute,
your partnerships are dissolved.

You're being consolidated

into a new unit,
the sole purpose:

the apprehension and prosecution

of this son of a bitch
known as "the vigilante."

And yes, this is personal.

Don't think for one second
that it's not.

And honestly, I don't care
how it happens,

as long as we get him
before he gets his next victim.

Does anybody have
a problem with that?

Like you said, I just want him
off the streets.

Evan?

Fine by me.
Whatever you need.

How's this gonna sit
with the new A.D.A.?

He has been investigating us.

I wasn't investigating you,
I was vetting you.

A.D.A. Lowan
and I have been

working together
since the beginning.

We needed to make
sure we had

the right kind of
cops for the job.

And what kind of
cops are those?

Cops who put justice
above all else.

I'm hoping you're one of them.

You'd be right.

I'm in.

The vigilante is just one man,
with no one to protect him,

unlike you guys, who protect
each other no matter what.

Considering how dangerous he is,

I value that more than
a bunch of Boy Scouts.

Don't you think it's
taken too long to catch him?

Which is why we've assembled
this task force:

to do everything in our power

to keep the people
of New York safe

and to bring the so-called
vigilante to justice.

And rest assured,
we will succeed.

So who killed Ray?

I don't know.

And based on that
coroner's report,

I doubt that we will
ever find out.

I'm sorry, it gets worse.

Um...
Yeah.

Caught the press conference.

As if Muirfield hunting
me down wasn't enough,

now I have New York's finest
after me.

Including you.

I didn't have a choice.

But I think

it's a good thing; I can...

keep an eye on things
from the inside.

Vincent, I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you.

Catherine, you can
only do so much.

And now, let's face it,
with this task force,

things aren't gonna end up
so well for me.

I don't want to break
your heart.

The only thing
that would break my heart

is... looking back on my life

and wishing that I had
done things differently.

And as far as the rest
of the world goes,

if we're together...

we can overcome anything.

Vincent...

whoever that girl was...

...she wasn't me.

And...

whatever your fears are...

...they aren't mine.
