Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 2, Episode 1 - Who Am I? - full transcript

Three months after Vincent Keller was abducted by Muirfield, Detective Catherine Chandler is reunited with him - but not in the way she planned. He's changed: his scar has disappeared, his ...

Previously on
Beauty & the Beast...

Catherine, in all those years

that I was watching over
you, all I ever wanted

was to meet you.

Vincent, you're
not a monster.

You saved my life.

Dad!

Catherine's blood contained

no common identifiers
with your father.

I'm not quite following.

There was no match between
Catherine and your father.



I was part
of a highly classified

unit of super soldiers.

These people from Muirfield,
they will not stop until

- they've buried their mess.
- Vincent, Muirfield is

out there hunting you.

Vincent!

Don't shoot!
She's my daughter.

Come on.

Come on, damn it,
I need you alive.

Forbes.

JT?

Oh. Hey, Cat.

How's it going, at 5:00 a.m.?

Just checking in to see if
you have any leads on Vincent.

You mean since you asked me
eight hours ago?

It wasn't eight hours,
it was... nine.

Cat, this has been going on
for almost three months.

Maybe you ought to--
I don't know--

take a little break maybe.

Anyway, anything?

Okay, well, I'm still hacked in

to the city's
surveillance cameras,

scanning social media sites,
cross-checking his photo

with facial recognition,
but so far, nada.

Vincent is out there somewhere;
I know it, I feel it.

Muirfield could've easily just
killed him, but they didn't.

They captured him,

which means that they need him
for something.

Which means we're the only ones
who can save him

from all the awful things

that they've done to him.

Come on, Cat,
don't you think I know that?

I care about him, too!

I mean, I've been trying

to save Vincent
for, what, ten years?

I owe him.

But I love him.

And I don't care
if it makes sense to you

or to anybody else, I am not
gonna stop until I find him.

And I don't care
if it makes sense to you

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay, I understand.

It's just...

I'll be honest,
I'm not just worried about him,

I'm worried about you, too.

I mean, you've got Vincent,

all the craziness
at the precinct,

your dad passing away.

It's been what,
like, a month since the funeral?

Okay, don't worry about me.

Okay?

Just... don't stop
looking for Vincent.

Please.

I don't know if you've noticed,
which you probably haven't

'cause you've been mostly AWOL
around here lately--

not that I'm complaining...
I'm sorry.

The point is,

the workload's doubled
ever since

the D.A. overturned
Joe's cases.

And although I'm used
to covering for you--

again, not like I mind...

No, you should.

It's just...

Look, I know how much
you love the guy,

but I think I have
the right to know

how much longer
this is gonna go on.

Until I find him, Tess, okay?

Right, but what if you can't?

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm your friend,
I'm allowed to blunt.

It's one of the perks.

Look, I don't want to be
the bad guy here, I don't,

but you know
as well as I do

that the odds of finding
a missing person after...

You sound like JT.

You guys ganging up on me?

I'm not giving up
until I find him, Tess.

That's funny.

That's exactly what Joe said

about finding
his brother's killer:

"I'm not giving up."

It was all he cared about,
but it kept him from

focusing on
all the other cases,

and that's what's caused
this mess and cost him his job.

And me my boyfriend.

Just make sure you know what
it's costing you, Cat, okay?

Make sure it's worth it.

I know what it's costing
me, Tess, believe me.

Sometimes when I'm alone,

and it's late and it's quiet,

I just... I just want to cry.

For Vincent,
for my Dad.

But I can't.

I won't let myself,
not until I find Vincent.

I have to stay strong.

It's a dangerous game,

putting yourself
on hold like that.

It's gonna catch up with you
sooner or later.

I know.

Catherine!

Speaking of beasts.

Catherine, I need
to talk to you.

In private.

This better be good.

Because I don't care if
the D.A. put you in charge,

I don't have to listen to you.
I know, but...

Maybe I haven't been
around much lately,

but you know what I'm doing,
and I don't expect any flak,

because if I hadn't saved your
life, you wouldn't even be here.

And you know
how grateful I am.

And, honestly, when you
couldn't help me find Vincent,

which was the only reason

I saved your sorry ass
in the first place,

I should've just left
well enough alone

when your beast side died,
you know what I mean?

No offense.
None taken.

And, for the record...

Catherine, JT found Vincent.

He couldn't get in touch
with you, so he sent it to me.

He sent what to you?

Are you sure
it's Vincent?

Facial recognition's
still working on it.

Wait, what?

You said it was him
when you called.

No, I said it might be him.

Well, if you weren't sure,
then why did you send it over?

I'm sorry, do we even like you?
Come on, come on.

Well, you should test
the whole shot.

Right.

How long ago did you find this?

Just before
I sent it to you guys.

What? What kind of
software are you using?

There's nothing
wrong with my software.

Then why isn't
it finding a match?

I don't know.

Maybe 'cause it's not him.

Let me try something.

Don't touch my stuff.

There a reason

why you want it to
be Vincent so badly?

I'm just saying,
last time, it was 'cause

you wanted to kill him
so you could save yourself.

What do I have to do to prove
I'm not a beast anymore?

Maybe donate your body
to science?

Catherine? What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Going to save Vincent,
or whoever that is.

Come on, come on!

Out of the way!

Tess, I'm heading to
Brooklyn Shipyards, pier 48.

I might need some backup.
What's your...

Moron!

...ETA?

Cat, is that you?

Heather?

You know, I'd like to think

that you're actually
returning my phone call finally,

Heather, I am... I am so sorry.

Um, just out of curiosity,

when was the last time
you were home?

I-I really don't have time
to explain right now.

Can I call you back?

Cat, that's the problem.

You never have time anymore.

Ever since the funeral,

you've been, like,
impossible to get ahold of,

and I'm worried about you.

Are you, like,
undercover or something?

Or something.

Do you not see
the flashing light?!

Cat, listen, I need to make sure

that you're coming tonight,

because I cannot
do this speech without you.

What speech?

At the tribute
Dad's law firm is throwing him.

They're making him
a name partner, remember?

Wait, that's-that's tonight?

Cat, you promised
that you would be there.

I know that you're busy and all,
but this is for Dad.

This matters.

Don't worry,
I'll be there, okay?

Good. Um...

And then maybe
we can talk afterwards.

We-we really need to talk.

It's about dad.

You know, you should
be flattered.

I wouldn't risk
coming out in the open

for just anybody.

But seeing as how many years
I've been looking for you...

...I just wanted to make
sure it really was you.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You do know who I am, right?

Yeah. You're somebody
I want to kill.

Why?

Just because I'm the one
who turned you into a beast?

Pretty good reason,
don't you think?

I suppose if I was in
your shoes, I'd think the same.

But in fairness,
back when I first

took over Muirfield
from my dad,

I was just a kid,

a genetic scientist
looking for a job.

Government knocked on my door,

wallet in hand,

asked me if I could build them
a super soldier.

And here I am.

And here you are.

An experiment gone awry,
but nonetheless,

a potentially profitable one
on the open market.

You're a valuable weapon,
Mr. Keller,

at least... now that
I've captured you.

What makes you think
I didn't just capture you?

Because... you're the one
in the cuffs.

Alloy steal and titanium.

You forget,

I know exactly what
you're capable of.

After all,

I made you.

Now it's time to make
you even more valuable.

Stop him!

Go.

Where is he?!

Do you see him?!

Vincent?

Thank God I found you!

Vincent...

Vincent.

What, you followed me here?

You got more darts in that thing?
Yeah.

But one's all
we needed last...

time.

There he is!
Shoot him!

That's impossible.

Watch out!

It's okay.
It's okay.

It's over.

Hey, you're going
to be okay.

His scar's gone.

All that matters is
that you're back, safe.

I never stopped
looking for you.

Who are you?

At least let me

stay until he wakes up,
just to be safe.

I don't need you to
protect me from Vincent.

Catherine, I know I haven't
earned your trust back yet,

but the only way
I can truly make my amends

is to keep trying,
and that starts with helping him

and protecting you.

We don't need your help.

What?
Look, I don't like the guy any more

than you do, but aren't you
a little concerned about what

Muirfield did
to Vincent?

I mean, let's face it.

He clearly
different.

And, frankly,
a little scary.

Scary, JT, really?
What are you, like, six?

Come on, it took
three tranq darts

to stop him. Three.

He didn't even
recognize you, Cat.

Okay, where am I?

It's okay,
it's okay. Just-just...

take it eas...
take it easy.

Okay, you're home.

Home?

Okay, just relax.

Vincent, look at me.

Do you remember me?

I'm... I'm Cat.

Catherine.

Catherine.

Yeah.

No. Sorry.

Okay. Uh, do you
know who he is?

Your husband?

Okay, look, you seem
like nice people,

honestly,
you really do, and

you are smoking hot,

but, unfortunately,
I think you're confusing me

with somebody else,
so I will just be...

It's all right.

It's all gonna come
back to you. Just...

Do you remember
anything from the last

three months?
Being captured?

What happened to you?

I got to go.

Go? Go where?

Recognize him, big guy?

That's us, taken 11 years ago.

Which means, you and I-- we've
known each other a long time.

I completely lost
track of time.

I promised my sister I'd be
there for my dad's tribute.

It's okay. I got this.

I'm serious.

That's important. Go.

I can't just leave Vincent,

not after we finally found him.

You're not leaving him.
I got him.

All right.

But whatever you do,
don't let him leave, promise.

Don't worry.
He's not going anywhere.

Okay.

I am telling you,
somebody set me up.

Made me think
I'd finally found Keller

so he could flush me out
into the open and kill me,

and I want to know who!

Well, first of all, Zhao,

you don't tell me what to do.

I don't work for you,
you work for me.

You don't understand.

Somebody's out
to get me, Reynolds.

And whoever it is
stole my formula

and turned Keller into the beast
that I was gonna turn him into!

Look,

maybe it's time
we shut Muirfield down.

Shut Muirfield down?
I am Muirfield.

Okay, listen to me.
Now, I've warned you before.

As soon
as your experiments start

getting out of control, we...

My experiments have made us
both a lot of money,

so don't threaten me.
And just so we're clear,

if I go down,
you go down, too.

The FBI came to me
15 years ago, okay,

not the other way around.

These may be my creations,

but you're the ones
who wanted it black ops,

so you try to shut me down,

and I start talking
to the press, understand?

Keller's worth a lot
of money to me,

and I want him back.

What happened?

I don't know yet, but
Zhao is still alive.

Does he know we set him up?
Not yet.

We got to get Vincent to go
after him again. Otherwise,

Zhao is gonna slither away for
good. Has Vincent checked in?

No, he's not at the boat,
either.

I don't even know where
to start looking for him.

I think I do.

Zhao said a cop got in the way
this morning.

A female cop.

Would you like to try this?

Hey! There you are!

Hey. I am so
sorry I'm late.

Oh, it's okay, I'm just glad
that you're here.

Look at you.
You look so beautiful!

No, I just, uh, wanted
to dress up for Dad.

So, uh, what is it you've been
trying to tell me so badly?

Um, not here, Cat. Not now.

It's too important,
but we'll talk after?

I'm sorry.
Yeah. No.

Could I borrow you for a sec?
Yeah, yeah. Oh.

And don't forget,
you promised to speak

for us tonight.
Yes.

Okay.
Yeah.

Ms. Chandler?

I'm Bob Reynolds.

I just wanted
to introduce myself,

and let you know how sorry
I am for your loss.

Your father was
a very good man.

Thank you. Uh,
how'd you know him?

Mm, crossed paths on a couple
of cases over the years.

I'm an FBI Agent.
Really?

Wow. Uh, Dad never mentioned
he worked with the FBI.

Yeah, he probably
didn't want to bore you.

Yeah.

He said you're a detective,
is that right?

Yeah, I'm over
at the 125th.

Oh. You homicide? Vice?

No, I actually
used to be

special crimes,
but, um, right now,

I'm just helping out with
a missing persons case.

Ah, missing persons.

They're sometimes
the most frustrating.

And heartbreaking.

Tell me about it.

Um... it was
nice to meet you.

You, too.

By the way...

You should know that your dad
talked about you all the time.

He was super proud of you.

Worried, but proud.

Worried how?

I don't know.
He never would say.

I always just assumed he didn't
like your boyfriend or something.

Fathers never think
anybody's good enough

for their daughters.

How true.

Yeah.

I think I know
where Vincent is.

So, do we, uh, entertain a lot?

No, no. We just have

a very big bar.
And the vault.

What are these,
safe deposit boxes?

What do we use these for?

Uh, well, actually...

Are you sure you don't remember
any of this?

If I did, would I be asking?

No, uh, sorry, never mind.

Uh, the truth
is, this...

you know, used to be a
gentlemen's club a long time ago

and it was just sitting
around empty, so we...

moved in.

Just the two of us?

Yep, just you and me.

But a-as friends.

Good friends,
best friends but friends.

Only. Just.

This isn't

helping, is it?

What about the girl?

The girl? You mean... Cat?

Yeah, she made it
sound like were...

close or something.
I mean, were we?

No, you are close.

Seriously,
it's like...

borderline epic.

What do you remember?

About anything.

I mean, y-you seemed to...

know what you were doing
at the warehouse this morning.

Which means,
by definition,

you must've stored and processed
something in your memory banks.

Look, you seem
like a nice guy.

But, honestly, if you
keep asking me questions,

I'm gonna have
to break your neck,

so, you know...

I wouldn't.

Hello?

I'm sorry, who?

Condor? No, uh,
you got the wrong number.

I got to go.

What? No, y-you can't go.

Sorry, I'm late.
Late?

Late for what? No.

Vincent, you have to stay.

I promised Cat.

Tell her you couldn't stop me.

Please don't make me

shoot you again.

What? What-what is it?

Why are you smiling?

On his own dime and time,

Thomas did more
pro bono work

than any lawyer I know
and, for that and more,

we honor his name on
our letterhead tonight

and from now on.

JT, is everything all right?

No, actually.

Vincent's gone.

What? How could
you let this happen?

I didn't really...

have a choice.

And now...

Did he say where he was going?

...daughter, Catherine,
to say a few words

on behalf of
his family.

Cat?

JT, talk to me, damn it.

Sorry.

Can't.

JT? JT?

JT?

I am so sorry.

I still can't believe
Vincent tranq'd you.

He would never
do that to you. Here.

Well, maybe not
the old Vincent.

He's gone, Cat.

I know he's gone, JT.

No, I mean

he's gone mentally.

Far as I can tell, he can't
remember anything about you,

me, college, his
childhood, nothing.

It's as if his memory's
been wiped clean.

I'm not sure

he's ever gonna remember us.

I don't believe that.

What are you doing?

You said Vincent said
he was late for something.

Maybe it has to do
with that guy that got away.

There. Forward
that to Gabe.

Have him run an I.D. check through
every database he can access.

Maybe if we can find
who Vincent was after,

we can find Vincent.

Keep me posted.

Wait, where
are you going?

Do a little surveillance.

Damn it.

Hey, so we don't screw up
any more cases,

can you take
a look at this?

Don't you ever knock?

Sorry, old habit.
I keep forgetting

Joe's gone and you're in charge
now. For some reason,

my brain just, like,
can't process that. Go figure.

You recognize this guy?

No, never seen him before.
That's the problem.

He doesn't exist anywhere
on any database.

How does someone stay off
the grid in this day and age?

I don't know. Friends
in high places, maybe?

Is this a case
we're working on?

No, it's a case
Catherine's working on.

And she asked you to help?

What, did she lose her mind?

No, she lost Vincent.

And the last time
she saw him,

he was after
whoever this guy is,

which is what I'm trying
to figure out.

Whatever. Let me know

if I have enough
for an arrest, okay?

I'm going home.

So that's it?
You don't care?

About Cat? Always.

About Vincent,
um...

I don't know.

I mean, personally, I like him--

at least I used to--
but I'm just really tired

of watching him ruin her life.
Enough already.

Do you care that we might
be able to save him,

like Catherine saved me?

I'm sorry, when you say "we,"
do you mean we humans

or we beasts?

And by "we," I mean you.

Tess, I am not a beast anymore.

If I was, don't
you think Muirfield

would still be after me, too?
I don't know,

okay? All that crap just
gives me a headache anyway,

and I wish I never
even knew about it.

But you do, which means you were
meant to know about it,

which means you
were meant to help.

Whether you're tired of it
or not.

What is it?

It's a match.

Popped up on
the SEC database

of all places.
Whoever was

covering his tracks must
have forgot to look there.

Li Zhao?

Li Zhao, who's that?

He's the geneticist
I tried to find

when I first started
looking for a cure,

until I realized he's the one
who created Muirfield.

Vincent's going after the man
who turned him into a beast.

Condor.

What happened?

Sir, I don't know.

I let Zhao think
that he had caught me.

And I had him,

but...

Sir, who is Catherine Chandler?

Nobody you need to worry about.

Yeah, but she seemed to know me

and... I believed her.

So? You're trying to tell me
you're surprised

that you had a life before this?

Did that never occur to you?

Of course not, sir, but when...

Then forget about it.

You can't let it distract you,
do you understand?

You've got a job to do, soldier.

This is why you were chosen,
what you were trained for.

That is all you need
to remember.

Now get back on Zhao's trail
before he disappears again

and eliminate him this time,
understood?

Understood, sir.

Stop him!

Gamble paid off.

He came back.

Nothing wrong
with his short-term memory.

What's he doing?

He's on the move.

If Gabe's right,
he's following Zhao,

although I have no idea how.

I wouldn't try to stop him
if I were you.

I'm not.

If he's after Muirfield,

I want to be there
when he finds him.

We talking revenge?

No, justice.
I'll call you back.

Okay, JT, I give up.

I have no idea
how Vincent is tracking Zhao.

I might know.

According to the blood sample

from the tranq dart, it looks
like it might be all part

of the new Vincent.

I'm listening.
There's been a small

but significant change
in his DNA.

Simply put,
Vincent can now slow down

and redirect the hemoglobin
in his blood

to heighten specific senses.

Okay, I'm not following.
Look, when you and I

walk down a street,
our senses can only tell us

what's happening at that moment,

right? But an apex predator...

...he can use his senses
to track down

another animal that
passed by that same spot...

...hours or even days before.

JT, there are eight million

people in this city--

How could Vince possibly
track...

Do you know that grizzlies
have been known

to track their prey
over 20 miles across the wild?

Yeah, a grizzly,
maybe, but not a...

A beast?

Whoa!

Who did this to you?!

Who are you working for?

Vincent!

Vincent!

Who sent you?

Vincent, where are you?

Vincent...

What?

This is how we met.

You saving me.

Whether you remember
it or not,

we're meant to be.

Our preliminary investigation
indicates that the explosion

was not related to any
form of terrorism.

That said, however,
the investigation is ongoing.

Bad news.

None of the bodies
at the scene matched Zhao's DNA.

Got away again.

Damn it.

At least Muirfield's destroyed.

Yeah, but with Zhao
still on the loose,

it won't be long before he finds
a way to start another

Muirfield, and we're
right back where we started.

So what do we do?

Bank on Vincent
to follow orders.

Hope my daughter
doesn't get in the way again.

Here, sit down.

No, I'm fine, really.

Sit.

Too bad you can't heal
yourself anymore.

That's different, too.

Look, I just want
to say I'm sorry.

For what?

For not remembering
any of this,

not...

not remembering you.

It's okay, you will.

Bright side,
in the meantime,

we get to fall in love
with each other all over again.

What makes you
so sure we will?

'Cause we don't
have a choice.

I told you, we're meant to be.

You really believe that,
don't you?

I do.

And I know you do, too.

You just...

don't remember it yet.

But you do believe
me, don't you?

About us?

Yes.

But... I...

But what?

Vincent, what aren't
you telling me?

You can trust me;
we can trust each other.

We always have.

Did Zhao do
this to you?

Was this just
about revenge...

Let it go.
No.

Please, don't.

I just...

I just want
to help you.

I... hate that they
did this to you.

I... I hate that
they keep hurting you

and I don't understand why.

Why can't they...

why can't they just
leave you alone?

I don't know.

But I can't

answer any more questions--
do you understand?

Yes.

Yes, all right.

I'm sorry.
It's just...

It's been a long three months.

All that matters
is that you're back,

and that Muirfield's gone,
and they can't...

hurt anyone else
like they hurt us.

Zhao got away.
I know.

I know, and we will
find him, I promise.

But not tonight.

Tonight...

please don't go.

Hello?

Cat, it's Tess.
Where's Vincent?

Tess. What?

Vincent.
Do you know where he is?

I think you
better get down here.

What happened?
I got to tell you, Cat,

this is gonna be pretty
hard to keep under wraps.

Why? Who's the victim?

Li Zhao.
It gets worse.
