Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 2, Episode 12 - Recipe for Disaster - full transcript

Cat and Vincent must work together to save J.T. when he gets kidnapped, while Tori attempts to intervene, with fatal consequences. Meanwhile, a stranger from FBI Agent Dana Landon's past is rescued along with J.T., and might have some insight about Vincent's beastly past.

Previously on
Beauty and the Beast...

My husband was an archaeologist,
he was helping us on a case,

and whatever he discovered
got him killed.

London, 1836.

Is that the same gem?

Scotland Yard found it
at a murder scene.

In fact, it's been found at
many murder scenes ever since,

including one that
your father investigated.

There is something about this
gem that is definitely connected

to you, Catherine.

It's a beast collar.



A collar?

Which implies somebody
was controlling it.

Why would someone want a gem
that controls beasts?

You have to get it back.

No, we do.

Well, you know
what's not fair?

What, that my mother
didn't teach me how to cook?

No.

I agree to take a
celebrity cooking class

hoping to get
some action...

Tess, shh!
No!

And you are like catnip
to every single guy.

Including Chef Raymond.

Okay, no more vino for you.
It's not fair.



Okay, it's not my fault. I
didn't realize this was gonna be

an aphrodisiac theme when
I was the one to host the class.

I just hope that my canapes
don't make JT's party into...

An orgy?

I was going
to say disaster.

You need to eat something.

Not oysters.

How's it going over here?

Good.
Good! You know,

as long as my canapes
don't go up in flames.

Flambé.

Mm.
It's also an aphrodisiac.

I've been single too long.
Guys can sense it.

No, they can't.
Yes, they can.

It's a proven fact.

Okay, it's anecdotal,
but it's true, all right?

They don't...
they don't like desperate,

and they don't like to wait.

Like Gabe, for example.

What do you mean,
"like Gabe"?

Well, you know
he's leaving, right?

Not, like, for good.
He's just leaving the precinct.

He didn't tell you?

No, he didn't.

Why is he leaving?

Well, his work is done.

He cleaned up Joe's mess,
he arrested your dad.

Now the D.O.J.'s
bringing it back to command.

Like I said, guys don't wait.

Tess, I am not
going to get

into a relationship
so soon.

Hey, if you don't like him...

No, I-I like him,
it's just...

Look, Cat, I'm all for
self-discovery, okay?

God knows I'm the queen
of it right now.

But it...

it doesn't keep you
warm at night.

And it doesn't
curl your toes.

Curl my toes?

I'm just saying,
use it or lose it.

Hey, is everything
all right?

You know what?
I'm not sure.

Uh, am I calling too late?

No, I'm, uh... I'm just cooking.

Cooking? Really?

Okay, be nice.

Any sign of Agent Landon?

No.

No, and that's what worries me.

You know, I know she's, uh,
suspicious of Tori

and, you know, maybe me, too.

She knows
something strange happened

and she knows that
we're hiding it from her.

If she finds out,
then I'm exposed

and you are
completely screwed.

Yeah, but I still think that
if we can figure out who killed

her husband all those years ago,
maybe she'll go away.

You know, I know
if we find the stolen gem,

then we will find the killer.

Okay, but how do we find
the gem?

Well,

same way that your ancestor did.

Rebecca followed the same gem
when it was stolen back in 1840

to get this:

"a dark, gothic dungeon
filled with a treasure trove

of artifacts...
and creature-like skeletons."

A dungeon? In Manhattan?

Apparently.

Now, the problem is

it's in a part of the city

that doesn't exist anymore
on any map.

Okay, but why would
whoever took this gem

be holing themselves
up there now?

Well, because it's full of
these unique artifacts

that this guy's been
stealing for years, right?

Besides, what better way
to hide from the FBI

than a place that is
impossible to find?

I don't know,
it's sounds like a long shot.

Well, it's the only
shot we got.

Look, Catherine,

right or wrong,
I have chosen a completely

different path than you.

Which means as soon as
we solve this,

you can finally go back
to your own life

and get away
from all of this.

Vincent, we've had
this conversation.

Because of Rebecca,
this is as much about me as...

Hey, what's going on?
You okay?

Flambé. I got to go.

Who was that?

Catherine?

Yeah.

Again.

"Again?" Tori, come on.
"Come on," what?

You talk to her every day.

What am I supposed to think?

That we're trying
to get the FBI off our backs.

Okay? That's what.

It's not her back that we have

to worry about, it's ours.

That gem can hurt us,
not Catherine.

Well, Agent Landon
can hurt Catherine, okay,

a lot for trying to
cover this up, all right?

She's just
trying to help us.

She's not helping us,

she's helping
you, Vincent.

Listen, I'm...

I'm sorry.

I don't know,
I guess I'm just nervous.

I know you never
promised me a future, but...

we have been in some
kind of relationship, and...

I guess I was just
hoping that...

you'd stop sneaking out of bed
every night to call her.

Okay, I'm sorry.

What do you
want me to say?

That you don't want
to go back to her.

Do you?
You know, right now,

all I want is
to find out

whoever has that damn gem
and stop them before

Agent Landon finds out
what's really going on.

@elder_man

Thank you. Thanks.

Please, you're
embarrassing me, okay?

Sir.

He's blushing.

I don't think
he's used to the limelight.

Well, he better
get used to it.

Winning the Brady
Wright Research Grant

is like winning the Super
Bowl for a scientist.

It's, like, a $500,000 grant, isn't it?
Yeah.

And he gets his own lab.

He deserves it--

everything he sacrificed
for you-know-who.

Wait, what do I get
for my sacrifice?

Curled toes.

So, Gabe,
I hear you're leaving.

I'm going to try
one of your canapes.

Wish me luck.

Weren't you going
to tell me?

Of course I was.

I just, um...

I didn't, because...

I didn't want you to think that
it had anything to do with us.

It doesn't?
No.

Catherine, I told you that
I'd wait for you, and I will.

At the same time, I just...
I feel like I need to move on

with my professional life.

See what else
is out there for me.

Especially after everything
I've gone through

with you-know-who.

Hey.

Speaking of.

Hey, Vincent, Tori.

Hi.
Yeah, sorry we're late.

Nice dress.

Thanks.

Hey, Gabe, have you had

a chance to look at
Agent Landon's files yet?

Well, she has a list of
possible suspects who could be

responsible for the heist,
but it's a long list.

We're going to
have to narrow it down.

Wondering who might just
happen to own a dungeon.

Well, that's what I wanted
to talk to you guys about.

I was hoping maybe we could
cross-reference the names

on Landon's list
with the, uh,

locations of Rebecca's files.

Maybe we could try
and figure out

where this "dungeon"
could actually be.

Uh, I'm sorry, "dungeon"?

Oh, um, Rebecca-- she found
the same gem there back in 1840,

but we don't know where
the dungeon is today.

City's different now.

Hey, look who I found.

Man of the hour.

JT, I'm so happy for you.

Thank you, thank you.

Yeah.

When do you finally
get to see your lab?

Uh, they're coming to

pick me up in a couple minutes.

- Limo.
- Oh.

I'm just saying.
Limo?

Getting a little cocky there, huh?
Damn right!

Still can't believe this is
actually happening to me

after all these years.

I love you guys.
Really.

Okay, okay.

Come on.
Bring it in.

Oh.

Okay. Excuse me
for one second.

Did I miss something?

Really good.

Really, very good.

Victoria.

Hey, Tori.

No, it's fine.

Just go back to your friends.

Come on, talk to me,
tell me what's wrong.

What's wrong?
Are you kidding?

Did-did you see the way
they were treating me in there?

What do you mean?

Never mind.

No, come on,
tell me what's wrong.

Honestly...

I feel like
I'm losing you, Vincent.

And I don't know
what else I can do

to stop it
from happening either.

Look, I'm just...

I'm a little preoccupied, okay,

with finding this gem;
we all are.

No, we aren't. You are.

Catherine is, your friends are,
but I'm-I'm not a part of it.

As though it has
nothing to do with me,

when actually it has
everything to do with me.

W-With us.

We've been through
all of this.

No, it's not just
about the gem,

and you know it.

Be honest.

I can sense how you feel.

I can sense your heartbeat.

You taught me, remember?

I don't want
to lose you, Vincent.

You're all... you're all I have.

I don't have anybody else.

I don't have any friends.

You're all I've got.

And I think that might be
part of the problem.

All I know is that

when we're together,
there's something

about your power that...

It doesn't just amplify mine,
okay, it affects everything.

The way think,
the way I feel...

I don't... I don't understand.

I don't know.

I chose a path with you and...

...I think maybe we just need
a little time apart

from each other so we can
think things through, okay?

You mean, so you can
think things through.

Hey, whoa, whoa.
Where you going?

To see my new lab.
Want to come?

Oh, uh, I wish I could, man,
but I just got stuff going on.

Say no more.
Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Is everything okay?

You bring Rebecca's case file?

No.

No, I left it
at my place.

We were thinking of
using it to track her path

to the dungeon
using an old map.

Yeah, and compare it to a modern
map with the suspect list,

see if any names
match locations.

Okay, according to the file,
Rebecca was last seen

heading uptown, to a place
called, uh, Carmanville.

Carmanville?
Yeah, well, it doesn't exist anymore,

but in the
scheme of things,

it'd probably be
Washington Heights now.

Let's go.

I will be right there.

All right,
th-thanks, guys.

Are you okay?
No.

Everyone wants to move on
with their lives, but,

you know, I just feel
bad because they can't.

They got to deal
with this first.

That's what friends are for.

Is that what we are now?

Friends?

It's better than enemies.

Vincent, just 'cause
we're not together anymore

doesn't mean that we don't
still have a history together,

that we don't still care
about each other.

And that is why
I'm going to offer you

some friendly advice.

Okay.

Talk to Tori.

What?

Well, it wasn't easy for me
being with you at first either.

You tend to shut people out.

You want to solve
everything by yourself.

Keeps her guessing,
worrying.

Trust me, I know.

Sorry I was such a pain.

I should go.

All right.

What are you doing?

I got it.

Professor Forbes.

Tony Barnes.

I work for
the Brady Wright Foundation.

Welcome.
Hi, cool, thanks.

Uh, this where the lab is?

Just downstairs.

By the way, thank
you for forwarding

all your research
files in advance.

It'll help
expedite things.

Sure, no problem.

I guess I was
kind of figuring

it would be more downtown,
you know.

SoHo, Wall Street.

Zoning.
OSHA's clamping down.

After you.

There's not any mold
down here, is there?

No, no mold.

Good, you know,
'cause I'm kind of allergic.

Also I'm, uh...
more of a window guy.

So, um, there isn't
a chance we can

move the lab
above ground, is there?

Sorry.

Run!

Get out while you can!

They did
the same thing to me.

Five years ago.

Or, uh, was it six?

Hey, what year is it?

Sorry?

Is it 2013 still?

No, '14.

What the hell?

Help!

Somebody help me!

Hey, hey, hey. It's no use.

This dungeon's been here

for, like,
a couple hundred years.

It's solid stone.

I don't understand
what's going on.

Why are they doing this to me?
This isn't right!

I won the Brady Wright Grant
for God sakes!

They cut you,
and they took your shirt.

I don't know why they did it,
but they did.

Who the hell are you?

I'm you.

I mean, before they put me
in here anyways.

Couldn't mix the right serum
the way they wanted,

so they caged me,
the rat bastards!

So that I could help you
figure it out, I guess.

Figure what out?

Just do as they say.

Ah, good, you're awake.

Look, pal, I don't know
what you want...

Let me tell you what I want.

I want you to replicate

the serum Muirfield
used to make...

How did you refer to them in
your secret research? Beasts.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Come on, you're
a smart guy.

Brilliant, actually.

But I'm a pretty
smart guy, too.

So, let's not play games.

By now, you figured out
I tricked you

into thinking you won the grant,

only to gain access to
your encrypted files.

Especially those
on cross-species DNA.

See, now you know I'm
telling the truth.

And now you understand
what I want.

Do I?

I also know you got hold

of Windsor's creature skeleton
and the collar.

How do I know that?

Because I'm the
one who's been

paying people to
steal artifacts.

And once they took that
from you, I began to wonder.

How did you get it?

Unless, of course, you knew
something about beasts.

Or better yet...

know one.

I've pulled every ingredient
from my research,

Muirfield's and yours.

Which means

that here is
everything you need

to figure out
how to make the serum.

And the sooner you make it,
the sooner you can go.

Look, I may be an idiot
for getting duped,

but I'm not stupid.

Even if I knew
how to make this serum,

which I don't,

you wouldn't let me go anyway,
so screw you.

Are you sure you don't want
to at least try?

No!

Please, dear God.

Don't let him shoot me.
Do what he says.

Hmm?
Just do what he says.

Oh...
She was going through your things!

Are you out
of your mind?!

What was I supposed
to do, let her go?

Yes, Tori! She's FBI!

You said she was a threat!
So you tied her up instead?!

No, don't let her...
Get off me!

Damn it, I said no!

Hey.
Hey.

Did Vincent bring
Rebecca's file?

No, and I can't get
ahold of him either.

Are you worried?

Always.

Okay, well, here's
what I got so far.

Seven of the names on
Agent Landon's suspect list

match up with
properties inside of

the old Carmanville.
Are any of them dungeons?

No, no dungeons.

And none of them mentioned
in any of my research

in Rebecca's time either.

Well, there has to
be one somewhere.

She was pretty specific.

It's strange having an ancestor
involved in all this, too.

Makes you think.

About?

About fate, destiny.

I mean, it's a
little eerie.

I'm following the same
investigation she did,

looking for the
same gem she was.

Trying to figure out
who's after beasts,

200 years later.

Maybe you're meant to solve
something she couldn't.

So you can move on.

Like you are?

Catherine, please don't
take it personally.

I'm just, um...

I need a change.

We both do.

I mean,
if you think about it,

we have spent
most of our time together

dealing with... beasts.

I mean, me, Vincent, good, bad,
it's defined us.

It still does.

I know.

It doesn't mean that I don't
want to be with you.

But I am also trying
to honor what you want.

I'm still trying to figure out
what it is I want exactly.

Hey.

Don't you ever knock?

Not when I think
JT's just been kidnapped.

You have anything stronger?

What would you like?

I don't know.

I don't really think
anything's gonna help.

You're not gonna
hurt me, are you?

No, I am not
gonna hurt you.

I just...
I need to explain, okay?

Look, my friend--

he has done a lot of research
on what it is that I am.

It is all here and I
will show it to you,

everything that
you need to know.

Why?

Because my only other option

is to kill you.

I'm sorry... I'm joking.

Funny.

I mean, I knew
something was going on,

something that exceeded
all of my training,

but what I saw...

What did I see?

Well, something that
some people would pay

a lot of money to see
for themselves.

Somebody like
whoever killed my husband?

And who's behind these heists?

Yeah.

Look, now that you know
about us,

I was hoping
that we could work together

to try and find them.

So this whole secret,
this must have been

what Sam stumbled across
in his last dig

and what got him killed.

I mean, why do they want
this gem so badly?

Because it can stop us.

It takes away my power
and my strength.

Look, I had no idea
about this thing

until you brought it
to our attention.

And now that I know,

I need to get it away
from whoever has it

before they use
it against me.

And I need to stop them
for what they did to Sam.

Is JT here?

JT? No, why?

Agent Landon?

It's okay, she knows.

About what?

Enough to help.

Is JT okay?

No, he's been kidnapped.

What?
Yeah. Someone got his contact list.

They sent out a mass e-mail;
they wrote it cryptically

so that everyone else
thinks it's innocent.

Everyone except those of us

who knows about beasts.

Does it say
what they want?

Yeah.

You.

Sending the mass
e-mail's smart.

They're casting a wide net
to see who will bite.

Plus, sending it
from JT's account

keeps anyone from
tracing it back to them.

"23rd and 7th. Sense sweater."

"Sense sweater."
What does that mean?

It means they know
that beasts

can track using their senses.

Which is exactly
what I'm gonna do.

No, Vincent, wait.
Why, Catherine?

They're after me, not JT.

Yeah, but they don't know
it's you for sure.

Otherwise they wouldn't have
sent an e-mail to everyone.

They want a beast,
okay, and that is me!

Okay, but why
would they lure you

if they didn't know they
could already handle you?

The gem.
They've obviously got it.

Otherwise, it'd be suicide
to want you.

We should follow Vincent
while he follows the clues

and back him up.
It's too risky.

If they're following him,
then JT...

Vincent, this isn't your fault.
The hell it is, okay?!

Everyone is here wasting
their time because of me!

Now JT-- JT is kidnapped!

The man thinks he won a grant,
for God's sake!

You need to calm down
and think this through.

No, we need to save JT.

And we will, together.

JT?

No, it's me.

Tori, hey.

Look, I can't
talk right now.

Something's come up.

No, I screwed up.

I exposed us to an FBI agent

for God sakes. I'm sorry.

I just feel like I can't do
anything right anymore.

Tori, come on.
Everything is out of control,

a little messed up right now,
but I will talk to you

about this a little later, okay?

Did something happen?

Yes. JT's been kidnapped.

What?

Look, we got it under control.
Don't worry about it.

I'll talk to you later.
Wait. I-I could help.

I saw him leave the party;
I could track him.

Look, I got to find JT, okay?
I can't let them hurt him.

Vincent...

He's right.
We're running out of time.

They just sent another e-mail.
It says, "Tick-tock."

- Is Tess still at the precinct?
- I think so.

I'm gonna go narrow down
the suspect list.

I know it better
than anybody else.

Vincent, did you bring
Rebecca's files?

Yeah, it's behind
the bar.

Great. Okay, we'll head up
to Washington Heights.

We'll keep in touch
with you via phone,

and try and figure out
where that dungeon is together.

Okay. I can't wait
for you though.

That's fine. You save JT.

We'll save you.

Yeah.

You've been down here
a long time.

What do you know
about this Barnes guy?

Um, he cheats at cards.

But he's a Yankees fan, so...

I meant about
all of this.

Why he wants the serum,
why he's holed up down here.

He wants to make one of those,
um-- what do you call it?

A beast?

Yeah, that.
He wants to make that.

And why here?
I don't know.

I guess so he can...
contain it.

Um, I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

I know what I'm doing,
thank you.

Yeah, but that's
not gonna fool him.

Look, it's not just your ass
on the line, okay?

It's mine, too.

You can't just combine
synthetic transuranic elements.

You know that
and he knows that.

So, what?
So, what if he tries

that concoction
on one of us, huh?

You want to die?
'Cause you will.

I was hoping that he'd try it
on himself instead.

Well, he's not stupid.

He's mean,
but he's not stupid.

I'm not doing what he wants.

Yeah, well, then
he's gonna kill you

and he's gonna kill
your beast.

Yeah. They know
you got one.

They sent out a ransom.
I heard them. You for it.

That's why they want
to make the serum.

They want to combine it
with beast blood.

They want to make
a better mousetrap.

JT.

Tori? What are
you doing here?

What does it look
like I'm doing?

Who's that?
Shh!

You have to get out
of here now!

Not without you.

You don't understand.
It's a trap!

Whoa, is she it?

It's a girl?

Come on!

Isn't it nice to know
you've got friends who care?

Never imagined you were a beast.

Your father, sure, but...

We should've known.

Would've saved us an awful lot
of time and money.

Take care.

Okay, we're in
Washington Heights.

Did Rebecca mention
any landmarks

we can try
and reference?

Um, she mentioned having
to cross Milstone Brook.

That's where... that's where
Hamilton Square is now.

I know where Hamilton Square is.

Turn left on 139th.

You sure you know
what you're doing?

Shut up.

Okay.

Nicely done.

I don't know if it's right.

I'm not sure I replicated
anything Muirfield did.

Better than
I was able to do.

What am I doing?

You're saving
your friend's life.

Vincent!

Hey, you okay, buddy? You okay?

Yeah.
Good.

Who's he?

Uh, I don't know.
A prisoner.

Another one?
Another one?

What do you mean?

JT, what does he mean?

Tori. They have Tori.

What? How?

I thought you knew.
She came to rescue me.

No.

All right, uh, take my phone.

Get out of here,
call Catherine,

tell her where I am, okay?
Where are you going?

To find Tori.

Okay, we're approaching,
uh, 149th on Riverside.

Rebecca mentioned a huge factory
nearby with a smokestack.

There's an abandoned
meatpacking factory off 153rd.

Tony Barnes.

He's one of our suspects.
What? Who?

He owns a lot of buildings
in Manhattan,

but he happens to own one
at 153rd and Riverside.

We're coming up on 153rd now.

Smokestack. There.

No, stop! Stop!

No, stop!

Tori?

Tori. Hey.

Tori. Tori, wake up.

Tori, come on, wake up.

Tori!

Tori, come on.

Stick with me, okay?
It's Vincent.

Vincent?

Yeah. You okay?

Come on. We got to get you
out of here.

All right, where does it hurt?

Everywhere.

I guess I screwed up again, huh?

No, Tori you did real good,
okay? JT is safe.

Yeah?
Yeah.

You did real good, okay?

Now I'm gonna get you
to the hospital.

Come on. Come on!
No. No!

It's too late.

It's okay.

No, no, it's not.

Tori, I'm so sorry.

I should've protected you.

I... I should've known.

No. No, I should've known.

You belong with Catherine.

Two beasts-- such luck.

I never imagined.

Open the gate!
She needs to go to a hospital.

I think we both know
she's past that.

Why do you think
I picked this place?

Built hundreds
of years ago,

built specifically to hold,
frankly, the likes of you.

But I got what I need from her,
so I don't need you.

I don't want to worry about you
trying to track me down either.

Tori.

No.

You know, she was
just trying to help.

She did.

If it wasn't for her,

then Barnes would've
gotten to you,

and then you wouldn't have
been able to save JT

and I wouldn't have
been able to save you.

Well, at least Tori
would still be alive.

Vincent, it's not your fault.

You didn't ask her to come here.

No. No, I didn't,
but she came because of me.

You know, she came hoping that

she could make things
right between us.

You know why
I shut people out?

Why I shut you out at first?

Because I was so worried

that something like this
would happen to you.

People close to me,
they get hurt.

Yeah, but that isn't
your fault either.

You didn't ask
to become what you are.

No, but I chose this path
and I took Tori with me.

Anyone close to me is always
going to be in danger,

'cause there's always
going to be someone after me.

Okay, but Barnes is dead.

He's the one who was
behind all the heists;

he was behind
everything.

Yeah, but what about Muirfield,
and your father, and...

the next guy after that
and the next guy

after that until someone
finally catches me?

You know, just like
someone caught him.

How do you know
Rebecca didn't save him?

How do you know
she didn't die trying?

You know, Catherine,
you gave me a chance

to walk away from all this,

to choose my humanity,
to choose us...

and I made the wrong decision.

And it cost
Tori her life,

and it almost
cost JT his,

and I don't know what I would do

if something happened
to you, too.

Vincent, that isn't your choice.

This is my story now, too.

I want to figure out
how I'm connected to all this.

It's part of finding out
who I am.

Hey.

Hey.

Look, I'm going to try and
keep this as quiet as I can,

but it's gonna
depend on

what the other kidnap
victim's gonna say.

We're taking him down
to the precinct now.

Did you find out
who it is yet?

No. He's pretty traumatized.

I might need you
to make a statement.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, you know
where to find me.

Okay.

You want to be alone?

No.

I want to be with you.

Look, you know,
I'm sorry that

I didn't tell you before
about the beasts, it's just...

Trust me, now that I know,

I understand why
you didn't tell me.

It's one of
those things

you got to see to believe, you know?
Yeah.

Does it help you,
though, at all?

You know, 'cause of what
happened to your husband?

Honestly, it helps more to know
that we stopped these heists

and we got Barnes.

If I can actually link him

to Sam's murder,
all the better.

Then maybe you
can move on.

God forbid.

It's been
six long years

trying to figure out what
actually happened to Sam.

I haven't even thought about
what happens next.

Excuse me, Detective Vargas?
Yeah?

Hi. Uh, coroner just
sent this over.

Apparently, the I.D. on that
kidnapper doesn't match.

What do you mean,
it doesn't match?

Well, his real name's
Frank Darnell.

He's got quite the rap sheet.

Racketeering, wire fraud...

Let me see that.
He's a con man.

He's right.

Looks like this guy
was just a front man

for whoever
Tony Barnes really is.

Where's the other victim,
the guy in the cell?

He's being debriefed
downstairs.

Why?

Excuse me,
I need to ask you

a few questions
about Tony Barnes.

I'm Agent Landon, FBI.

Sam?

Dana.

Sam, you're
still alive.

Oh, my God, Sam.

Is it you?

Sam...
your husband, Sam?

How about that, huh?

Yeah, it's
incredible, really.

Want to get drunk?

No...
I don't know, man.

Just go away.

Sorry, can't.
You saved my life.

It's a cultural
phenomenon, actually.

Life debts.

Technically,
I can only repay it

by saving your life in return,

but since that's probably
never gonna happen,

I brought Scotch.

Except I'm the reason
why your life

was in danger
in the first place,

which should cancel
out any credit

I have for saving it.

Normally true, but in this case,

I am the real reason
I got kidnapped.

Thought after eight
years of trying,

I'd actually won
that stupid grant,

so it was really
my fault.

Still, Barnes used you
to get to me,

so technically

it is my fault.
Excuse me.

But they also wanted my
beast-serum-making expertise,

thank you very much.
It's not always

all about you, you know.

Speaking of which...

did you ever figure out

how to make that serum?

I don't know.

I never got a chance to try it.

Thank God.

Anyway,

back to whose
fault it is...

No, JT, forget it, okay?
You are wasting your time.

You will never win
this argument.

You have protected me
for years.

At great expense, too.

I mean, no way, buddy.

This one is all mine.

Actually, not really.

Okay, here goes.

So, the truth is...

I'm the one who volunteered you

for the Muirfield
experiment originally.

Yes, me.

With good intentions,
I might add,

but I'm still the
one responsible

for you becoming a...

you know.

In hopes of keeping you
safe in battle, but...

obviously it didn't
work out that way.

You're right, you win.

♪ All the doubts I've faced ♪

♪ All the doubts
I've faced ♪

♪ I continue to face them...

Well, I'm glad that's settled.

So, uh...

what'd you do
with the gem?

I buried it.

Somewhere where no one

will ever find it again, I hope.

I don't know, man.

I'm so sorry I even
ever found that damn thing.

You know, Tori--
she never did anything

to deserve what
happened to her.

It's not like she volunteered
for this beast serum

to be injected into her;
she was born that way, you know?

She just...
I don't know.

She never figured out
how to live with it, I guess.

Who knows?
Maybe you never can.

You have.

No, you have.

I mean, come on.

How many lives have you
saved over the years?

Really.
No.

That's what you do,
Vincent.

That's what you are, that's
what you'll keep doing.

That's a good thing.

To Tori.

To Tori.

Well...

looks like we're back
where we started again.

Just you and me, buddy.

You are not living here.
