Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 1, Episode 19 - Playing with Fire - full transcript

Gabe comes clean to Cat that he knows about Muirfield.

From the moment we met...
We knew our lives

Would never be the same.

He saved my life.

And she saved mine.

We're destined.

But we know it won't be easy.

Even though we have
every reason to stay apart...

We'll risk it all
to be together.

I am so in
love with you.

What he is is a danger to
you and everyone around you.

Evan, what did you do?



I called muirfield.

I was just trying
to protect you.

I- I thought that
vincent was a threat.

They lied to me.

They said they were trying
to tie up loose ends.

You and catherine are
those loose ends.

If I can help you and him
get out of here alive,

It will be the best thing
that I've ever done in my life.

Evan, no!

I received a confession
from Evan.

He said that
he'd been covering

For the vigilante
this whole time.

He took the blame.

He is to blame.



# you are the one for me, boy

# you give me butterflies
from my head #

# to my feet and...

As you
can see, mr. Keller,

It is a bit of
a fixer-upper,

But it has potential.

It's quiet, there
are no shared walls,

And the neighborhood
is very peaceful.

And the previous owners?

Arms dealers.
Uh-huh.

They had to leave
rather suddenly.

But they never had any
complaints about the building.

It's easily defendable.

And there is ample space
for entertaining.

Do you host many
dinner parties?

Not as many
as I'd like to.

I don't know--
it's just...

I was kind of hoping

For someplace
a little more, uh...

Romantic?

You know, someplace
where my girlfriend

Would actually come
and visit me.

Trust me, your girlfriend
will visit you

Wherever you live.

Huh.

Hey.

I know you must be
still hurting

About Evan, and this...

This can't be easy
for you right now.

I just wish I hadn't
encouraged him.

If he hadn't been looking
at the vigilante crimes

Or the cross-species dna,

Muirfield never, never
would have found him.

Catherine, you know
this isn't your fault, right?

It might not be my fault,
but I can't let

This happen to anyone else.

I want you to be safe.

Hey, I've been safe
for the past ten years.

I think it's time for me
to move past it.

We'll figure out
what to do

With muirfield.

I just... I don't want us
to start our new life

In a place that feels
like we're locked in a prison.

I want a place for us.

That would be nice,
wouldn't it?

Yeah.

Lieutenant, you have
a good reason

For bothering me at my home
at this hour?

I want to redirect the efforts
of the task force.

Vigilante's dead--
there is no more task force.

He's dead, but the man
who confessed

To helping him is
still at large.

Evan marks.

You're talking
about his e-mail, I assume.

He's a traitor
under my own damn roof.

Have you given even a moment's
thought to the implications

Of opening
an investigation on marks?

Yes...

Every trial that used
evidence he collected,

Every time he testified
in court--

All of that would be called
into question.

So what are you saying?

We should just let him
get away with this?

Your precinct's closure rate
would go from the best

In the city to the worst
in the blink of an eye.

That what you want?

What I want is for him

To have to answer
for what he did:

Helping that psycho
who killed my brother.

Joe, I get it.

You want revenge,
and believe me,

I am right there with you.

I have people looking
into his whereabouts.

Quietly.

There is a way to handle
this without undoing

Everything you've
accomplished,

But you have to forget
about Evan Marks.

Just for now.

Is he gonna
be a problem?

I'll keep an eye on him.

I shouldn't have used
the task force

To go after him.

It's far too public.

Too many loose ends.

Clearly, we have
to find him ourselves.

You had nightmares
again last night.

Were they about him?

Just running out of time.

I have to find muirfield.

Don't forget, I have
just as much reason

To hate them as you do.

Uh-oh, I know
that face.

You okay?

Vincent and I went
to Evan's apartment.

We were looking
for his journals.

That must have been hard.

I still can't believe he's gone.

He had this photo
of us from my birthday.

Doesn't get
any easier, does it?

Losing people?

No.

Never does.

Did you find anything?
Um...

No.

The place was tossed.

Someone got there before us.

Someone-- are you
thinking muirfield?

Can you think of anyone else
who would want

To find Evan's
extracurricular research?

Not really, but, uh,

Joe still seems bent
on tracking Evan down.

But I don't think he'd
search his apartment

Without a warrant.
Right.

I just feel really
guilty knowing the truth

About Evan and monster man
and not telling him.

You can't--
you know that, right?

Yeah.

And his name is vincent.

Lame, boring.

Fine.

How is vincent?

Him and jt are still trying
to find a place to live.

He says he wants to find
somewhere that's safe.

For us.

"us"-- that's sweet.

And, uh, unfamiliar.

There is

No place that's gonna be safe

As long as muirfield's
out there.

Not for him.

Muirfield?

They won't stop until
they have caught and killed him.

No, no, no,
don't go in!

You can't go in there!

No, no, no, don't, sir!

We need to get you
medical attention.

Sir.

Detective chandler.

That's close enough.

No, no.

What's your name?

You don't have much time.

What do you mean?

He's dead.

Why would a man that I have
never seen before

Stagger in here all shot up
trying to find me?

You think it might
be muirfield?

If that's the case,
how did he find you?

That's what I'm worried about.

Here.

I took it off the body
in the confusion.

I can't believe that
you are concealing evidence.

I have completely corrupted you.

Let's just find out
if the guy's some kind of agent

From you-know-what,
and then we'll turn it in.

So weird seeing
someone else doing Evan's job.

Hey, uh, new guy?

It's iverson.

Kirk.

Sorry. I'm tess...

Vargas, and
that's chandler.

I did my homework.

That's great.

Now can you do your job

And give us something
to work with?

He's got no I.D. On him.

No wallet, no
keys, no money.

He was shot five times.

Looks like a.38,
but I'll know for sure

When I get him
down to the lab.

He also has extensive bruising
on his face and hands.

This guy fought
like hell.

Not all this
blood is his.

I don't get it, chandler.

You have no idea why
an armed man who was

Shot to hell barged in here
looking for you?

Completely at a loss.

I have no idea
who this guy is.

Have you I.D.'d him yet?

Assistant district
attorney lowan.

I thought you washed
your hands of us.

I was in a meeting nearby, and I
heard you had some excitement.

Is it true you knew him?

My detective never

Saw him before.

Okay, this just got
pretty interesting.

He's got no fingerprints.

It's completely smooth.

Guy went to a lot of
trouble to make sure

He couldn't be identified.

You see, you draw a face,
and he's a dinosaur.

Mine is different.

It has little lines all over it.

Well, those are your
fingerprints, sweetheart.

Yours is better.

No lines, no fingerprints.

Come on.

It's time
for your session.

Lieutenant, I'm gonna
get out of your hair,

But could you keep me
informed on the progress

Of this investigation?

Just as a courtesy.

Incident like this
in a precinct in my district--

I like to be kept in the loop.

Are you sure you've
never seen him?

I'm sure.

So, you lied to cat?

I didn't lie to her.

I just...

I said she needs to keep as
far away from anything related

To muirfield
as possible.

Good.
However,

I didn't tell her
that I was gonna look

Into this guy and try
and find out where he came from.

I'm trying to
keep her safe.

That's a slippery slope,
my friend.

Are you sure
this is it?

Yeah, I'm sure.

He bled all the
way from here

To the precinct.

Easiest scent to follow.

All I can smell is
rancid cooking oil and despair.

Go check out that car.

The ignition's on.

Must have sat here running

Until it was out of gas.

Why would
he abandon it?

It wasn't him.

Different footprints.

He came from that
end of the alley,

Got cut off by the car.

Driver jumped out,

Left the car running,

They fought?
Yeah.

They were both wounded.

He ran off that way

And made it into the
precinct before he bled out.

So what happened to the driver?

What?

No, you don't want
to see this.

Oh, that's nasty.

Told you not to look.

No fingerprints.

Like smooth or like eaten?

Like smooth.

This whole thing
screams muirfield.

You okay?

Yeah, I'll-I'll live.

Hey, check this out.

Looks like someone was
in the middle

Of recording a video
when this happened.

The-the display
is completely destroyed.

Okay, well, see if you
can get anything off it.

If there's a video on
there, we need to see it.

You know, if this was
muirfield and they found cat,

It's not gonna be long
before more of them come.

Hey.
Hey.

What was so urgent?

You've found something
on the vic?

Still no clue
where he came from,

But I think I found
something better.

This is security footage

From the antique store

Outside Evan's apartment.

I thought we could catch
whoever took his files

On camera. Watch.

Hello, muirfield.

Hey, handsome, can you
run a plate for me?

Boy john tom mary 17252.

Thanks.

"handsome"?
Not really.

Great, whose car is it?

Thanks.

Gabriel lowan.

Are you kidding?

Do you think he had
the apartment searched

In an official capacity?

This does not look official.

Cat, do you think
the assistant district attorney

Is working for muirfield?

Detective.

Come to give me an update
on our mysterious intruder?

I came to find out
why you had the research

From Evan's apartment removed.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

I have a video

Of a man handing you
that research

That says you know exactly
what I'm talking about.

You got me.

I had Evan's computer

And journals confiscated

In order to prevent
your lieutenant

From pursuing a course of action

That would lead
to a legal nightmare

Of epic proportions.

So you're not concerned
that Evan's gonna

It's very clear from what
he wrote in his journals

That he was never
helping the vigilante.

Quite the
opposite, in fact.

He was helping another
outside organization

Track the
vigilante down.

But I think
you already knew that.

I have my suspicions,

And I think a man like you,

Highly placed in local politics,

Is exactly the kind of man
that an organization like that

Would want on their side.

You think I'm working
for muirfield?

Maybe you should sit down.

Very few people
have ever heard

What I'm about to tell
you, detective chandler.

When I was very young,

Maybe four or five...

...I was orphaned and alone.

I was picked up off the streets
of calcutta

And brought to america.

Any change?

Chimera five, stable.

I was housed and fed,

On the whole,
very well cared for,

If you don't count
the never-ending series

Of medical procedures.

So you were
some kind of guinea pig?

Continually being harvested
for blood and tissue

And anything else
they could take from me.

So you see, detective,

I'm not working for muirfield.

I have been hunting them

For most of my life.

I'm sorry
for what happened to you,

But I only came here to find out
why you took Evan's research.

Trust has to be earned.

So I will lay all my cards

On the table.

I've read Evan's journals.

I know that you and he
were looking

Into cross-species dna found
at various crime scenes,

And that you
had discovered

That the vigilante was, in fact,
a human-animal hybrid.

Which led you to muirfield.

I know that Evan,
behind your back,

Started working with them,
and I'm assuming

When they were finished
with him, they had him killed.

I'm guessing that he e-mailed
his confession

In order to cover up your
involvement in this whole thing,

And now
you're hunting muirfield,

Hoping to take them down
for what they did to him.

How am I doing so far?

So far, you haven't said
anything that makes me think

You're anything but
a muirfield agent yourself.

Catherine, you and I are
on the same side here.

I want revenge on muirfield,

To expose them
for what they really are,

Not just for me,
but for all the other victims--

For Evan,

And even for the man who died

In that warehouse,
the vigilante.

So why the task force
to catch him?

To protect him.

Don't forget, I did specify
that he was to be taken alive.

And I'll admit, I hoped that
he could lead me to muirfield.

I still don't know
what you want with me.

You're a cop.

My position can open
certain doors,

But you can do things
and go places that I can't,

And I think you might
know things that I don't.

You were right.

Trust has to be earned.

I don't think we're there yet.

Detective chandler,

My name is paul davis.

Your mother was my mentor

When I first started working
for muirfield.

I always had my suspicions
about what happened to her,

But I never said anything,
and for that,

I'm truly sorry.

I don't think anyone else knows

About you yet,
but that's not gonna last.

You have to be careful.

Because muirfield had
to move their operation,

They're vulnerable
for the moment.

I can lead you
to everything you need

To expose them.

Go to the orchard!

We have to get busy.

We don't know
how much time we have,

And we have to figure out
where the orchard is,

Or-or what it is.

I bet this has something to do
with that, uh, swipe card

That tess found.
Catherine,

The reason I showed you
this video

Is so you know
how much danger you're in.

If this guy
could find you,

Then anyone from muirfield
could be circling.

Okay, and the last person
they circled ended up dead.

This could be our chance
to expose muirfield

And take them down for good.

Or it could be a trap.

So an agent

Pretended to defect

And-and let himself be killed
in order

To lure me out?

Seems like a pretty
elaborate trap,

Don't you think?

I wonder if gabe knows
what the orchard is.

This gabe guy has given you
no reason to trust him.

I mean, come on, not really.

Anyone from muirfield
could've made that story up.

You didn't
see his face.

He's traumatized.

Vincent, they did
horrible things to him.

This is the first person
who knows about muirfield

Who could
actually help us.

And you trust him completely?

Enough to
tell him about me,

About us?

Because if you do,
there's no going back.

Everything changes.

Catherine...

All I'm asking is
that you stay away from him

Until we check out his story.

And the orchard?

You want me

To wait around while
you check that out, too?

Catherine,
I couldn't handle losing you.

All right, I couldn't live.

I wouldn't want to.

And I can't face every day

Knowing that muirfield
is out there hunting you.

You have this fantasy
that you're gonna find

A new place to live

And I'm gonna come visit you

And we're gonna move on
with our lives,

But that is never
going to happen

As long as this threat
is hanging over our heads.

Just give me the time
to work this out.

Please.

Okay, so I double-checked
the muirfield warehouse.

Seems they've gone
back underground.

You manage to find anything?

I got nothing. I searched
every database I could think of.

Nothing called the orchard?

There's thousands of things
called the orchard:

Bars, restaurants, shops,
actual orchards.

But nothing
that would suggest

Some kind of muirfield
involvement.

And if I do
a more aggressive search,

It's bound to raise red flags.

Look again.
We need to figure this out

Before catherine does, okay?

Imagine what you two could
accomplish

If you were
actually working together.

Come on, man, that's not fair.

I'm just trying to keep her
from ending up like Evan.

If you're trying

To protect her from all this,

Do you think maybe,
when we find the new place,

We should consider going back
to the old way of doing things?

What, total secrecy?
Even from catherine?

Yeah. And no more visiting
her apartment either.

I hate that I even have
to think about this,

But if it's the only way
to keep her safe...

Yeah.

Okay, so what do you want to do?

Because I've exhausted
my options.

If we can't figure out
the orchard thing,

Then we should concentrate
on muirfield.

Maybe we should check out
the one person who knows more

About them than we do.

Tess,

I'm glad you're here.

Look, um, walking

On eggshells
is driving me crazy,

So I'm just gonna come out
with it.

I know you're still
investigating Evan

Even though the da's office
warned you off.

Look, I get it.

Someone in your own department
betrayed you, and

You want them to pay.

No. What I want is for him

To look me in my eyes
and tell me why.

Why he was helping
the vigilante.

Why my brother had to die.

I will not stop until
I get those answers.

You okay?

I'm not talking about it.

What is that?

It's either a peace offering
or it's bait.

It's one
of Evan's journals.

Gabe must have left it on my
desk, trying to earn my trust.

Is it working?

My gut says yes,
but this voice in my head

That sounds a lot like vincent
says no.

What do you think?

I think that your gut has saved
both our lives

On more than one occasion.
I say listen to it.

If the new ada wants to help you take down
these muirfield guys,

Then more power to him.

Vincent is gonna go ballistic.

And for him,
that's kind of a big deal.

Vincent will be fine.

You and I both know
better than anyone

That sometimes you have
to hide a little truth

From your partner in order
to protect them.

Have you gone through all this?

Yeah. I thought

You could
take a shot.

Maybe you'll see
something I overlooked.

Orchard industries?

Does that mean
something to you?

They won't stop
with Evan, you know.

Muirfield will be looking
for anyone

Who might have
helped him.

I know what it's like
to always

Be looking
over your shoulder.

But imagine a life
free of that.

We're off the record here,
right?

Sure.

The, uh, the dead guy
in the precinct.

I lifted his phone
without telling anyone.

He had a video. It was for me.

He said that muirfield would be
vulnerable for a brief time

And that I would find
everything I needed

To take them down
at the orchard.

Okay. If we're going
to do something about this,

It has to be right now.

No, I should go alone.
Do some recon, see what

We're dealing with.
I'm coming with you.

No. No, if we were seen,
it would be a lot harder

To explain what you were
doing there.

Gabe
Are you sure you can get in?

It looks clear.
I'm gonna try and get closer.

I'll check back in with
you in 15 minutes.

So, why not bring gabe in?

Because I have no clue what
I'm gonna find in there,

And I can't risk it
being something

That might expose vincent.

You ready for this?

Sir!

Sir?

Sir!

Can you help me?
I'm crazy lost.

Where were you trying to go?

A warehouse party.

And I may have
started partying

A little too
early, so...

Catherine? Everything all right?

Yeah. So far all I've found
is a card reader

Protecting a really
impressive door.

I need you standing by
just in case.

This must be what he meant
by vulnerable.

What is it?
What do you see?

Computer servers.
Lots of them.

It's muirfield's brain.

Okay. I hope you can talk me
through this.

Don't worry.
We'll figure it out.

Okay, here goes.

It's asking for a password.

Didn't the guy
in the video give you one?

The guy on the video is dead.

There wasn't anything
in Evan's files?

Nothing.

I can't believe
this is happening.

Not when we are this close.

Try "chimera."
c- h-I...

I know how to spell it.

Why did you pick that word?

Just trust me. Type it in.

It worked. We're in.

Oh, my god, this is everything.

Names, places.

All their administrative files.

I need to see
what you're seeing.

Gabe, even if I had
a flash drive,

It wouldn't hold a fraction
of this data.

I can e-mail you some
of the files.

No. We can download directly
to another server.

It'll be faster.
I need you to go

To the network connections menu,
upper right-hand corner,

And type in this ip address:

2-7-5-2-8-3-

3-6-8-4-3-3.

Done. Now what?

It worked.
We got 'em.

Okay, just give me a second

And I will send you
the most important files.

No. We can control
the download from here.

No.

We're gonna get everything.

Keller.

This is not good.

Must have been
their backup site.

This is a
lot of data.

Everything all right?
So far.

I'm shunting everything over
to the server

At the mansion now.

Whoa. She needs to make sure

Nothing interrupts
this download.

They have some pretty advanced
security measures.

If it doesn't finish, then
all the files are corrupted.

We would lose everything.

Catherine, I need
you to make sure

That nothing interrupts
this download.

We could lose
everything.

Jt, I need you to track
cat's phone and tell me

Where she is right now.

Oh, god.

What is it?

No, I just-- I heard a noise.

I'm gonna go check it out.

I can't stop the transfer.

No.

No way. You were
a cage fighter?

Yeah. But I had
to stop doing it.

They were afraid I was
gonna kill someone.

Shut up!
Swear to god.

This one time I knocked
this guy out so bad...

Strike team en route.
Eta, two minutes.

I got to go.

Cage fighter.

Hey, get out.
Strike team's on its way.

Tess, I can't.
I've got to stop...

Never mind.
I'll be out in a minute.

Okay, you can yell at me later.
I was just trying

To protect you,
but now we don't have much time.

We have to destroy
these servers

Everything about you.
Is there anything else I should know?

There's a strike team
on the way.

# put on your war paint...

# you are a brick tied to me
that's dragging me down... #

# strike a match and I'll
burn you to the ground #

# we are the jack-o'- lanterns
in July #

# setting fire to the sky

# here, here comes

# this rising tide

# so, come on...

# put on your war paint...

# crosswalks

# and crossed hearts

# and hope to die

# seal the clouds

# with gray lining

# so we can take

# the world back

# from the heart-attacked

# one maniac at a time

# we will take it back

# you know time crawls on

# when you're waiting
for the song to start #

# so dance alone
to the beat of your heart #

# hey, young blood

# doesn't it feel
like our time #

# is running out?

# I'm gonna change you

# like a remix

# then I'll raise you

# like a phoenix

# wearing our vintage misery

# no, I think it looked
a little better on me #

# I'm gonna change you

# like a remix

# then I'll raise you

# like a phoenix

# put on your war paint.

Get these sectioned off here.

No access-- it's not
secure up there yet.

What the hell happened?
I don't know.

I must have tripped an alarm.
Well, how did you get out?

I'm not sure
they even saw me.

They were so focused on
destroying those servers.

They trashed the place,
they set a fire.

Making sure all
the data was destroyed.

Did we get anything

From the download?

It's completely worthless.

Corrupted.

I'm sorry.

Well, at least
you got out okay.

You should get home,
get cleaned up.

Get some rest.

Can I ask you something?

Chimera.

Why were you so sure that
that was the password?

It was the genesis
of muirfield.

Chimera was the name
of the original study

I was a part of.

It's a mythical creature,
a monster,

Made up of...
Made up of parts

From different animals.

My mom was a scientist,

And, uh, she...

She used to wear a necklace

With a chimera on it.

She said it reminded her to
respect the power of nature.

You be good for me, okay?

I'll be back soon, I promise.

You're safe now.

This is the medicine
he's gonna need.

Your employers, are they...
Looking for him?

Uh, no.

As far as they know,

The experiment's...

Been terminated.

Bye, gabriel.

We could get ice cream
on the way home.

Would you like that?

Gabe?

Gabe?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm fine.

I'm just disappointed.

We'll talk later.

Yeah.

Hey.

Can you salvage anything?

Doubtful.

What's the matter?

That woman I told you about?

The one who smuggled
me out of muirfield?

I never knew her name, but
I think she might have been

Detective chandler's mother.

It looks like catherine's
involvement with muirfield

Goes a lot deeper than just
wanting revenge for Evan.

Not to add gasoline to the fire,

But can I show you something?

The bolts holding it
to the floor?

Completely sheared off.

A fire didn't do that.

No.

Someone or something very,
very strong tore them apart.

Looks like your new friend has a
lot more secrets than you know.

You wanted to see me?

You put this on my desk.

They're from
Evan's files.

How'd you find it?

Evan buried it.

That was all I found.

He thought
it would hurt you unnecessarily.

Hmm.

So, what, am I supposed to think
Evan's some kind of hero now?

Is he my friend
'cause he hid some file

That said my brother was
on drugs when he got killed?

I just thought

That it would help you
make sense of what happened.

And maybe help you move on
from this crusade to find Evan.

You don't think he deserves
to pay for what he did?

I think you're using him

As an excuse
to hang on to darius.

And as long as you keep
taking out your anger

On Evan or Miranda... Or me...

You're never going to be able

To let your brother go
and say good-bye.

Hey.

Why are we
meeting down here?

Neutral ground?

Look, catherine,
I'm not mad at you.

I just...
Okay, wait.

Just let me go first.

Um... I'm sorry.

I thought I had a chance
to expose muirfield.

A chance
to keep you safe, and...

...It made me reckless.

Look, you weren't reckless.
You were right.

And maybe if we'd gone
in there together,

Then, we would have
muirfield's files by now, but...

After what happened to Evan...

I understand.

Maybe too well.

I think that we need
to stop worrying

About protecting you
or protecting me,

And-and start thinking about

Protecting us,
and there is

Only one way to do that.

Yeah. The only way for us
to be together,

To have some kind
of life is, uh,

If we destroy muirfield.

Together.

And not just for us.

For all the people
that they've hurt.

I, uh...

I got to ask you a question.

All right.

Agent davis--
he might have been a defector,

But he managed
to find you pretty easily.

And you know it won't be long

Before more
of them find you, yeah?

So, if you had a choice,

I mean, would you want me to,
to keep you at a safe distance?

If-if I had a new place
to live, would...

Would you want me
to keep it a secret from you?

That has got
to be the dumbest question

Anyone's ever asked me.

Of course not.

Good. I was hoping
you'd say that.

I, um... I got
something to show you.

Yeah.

So...

What do you think?

Could you see yourself

Visiting your boyfriend
here once in a while?

It's beautiful.

It's perfect.

# I'm scared you'd never feel
that safe again #

# can someone hold my hands?
