Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 2, Episode 21 - Operation Fake Date - full transcript

Previously on
Beauty and the Beast

I can't keep
protecting you against him.

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

He is a beast
and he always will be.

He is not gonna change.

I won't let him hurt you.

No!

Cat.

Help.

Heather must've
said something to Gabe

and Gabe told Sheckman.
No, but he would never



put Heather in danger
like that.

That-that's
not protecting me.

A task force has been formed

to capture the fugitive

Vincent Keller.

Trying like hell
to get you exonerated,

but if you don't lay low...

There is nowhere

safe anymore.
There's nowhere to hide.

We need your help.

♪ Oh, Oh...

Is it just my imagination
♪ Oh, oh...

or are more people
looking at me,

now that I'm blonde?



And doesn't that sort of
defeat the purpose?

Well, what defeats the purpose,
is this stupid,

itchy mustache, which...

makes me look like
a serial killer.

No, I think you look cute.

Careful, you're gonna
kill our fake baby.

♪ You were the last
of a dying breed ♪

Who I'm gonna kill
is Gabe

for putting us
through this crap.

You don't want to push
the stroller, fine,

I'll push the stroller.
- It's not the stroller, okay?

It's everything.
It's the stupid disguises.

It's the living
in the youth hostel.

I like the hostel.
it's sort of like...

we're on vacation,
backpacking in Europe;

it's kind of romantic.

Romantic, really?
The walls are paper thin.

We're sleeping in cots.
And if I have to listen to

Swedes next door screwing
one more time...

Okay, it's better them
having sex

than watching
the local news.

You're right, it is
the perfect hiding spot.

Yeah, which we
wouldn't need

if it weren't for Gabe
blocking my exoneration.

Leaving me as a man on the run
you're now, like, my accomplice.

Not for long.

I know that
you're nervous...

but, I know that Knox
is gonna push this through.

I bet you 50 bucks

that's why he wants
to meet with us today.

You don't even have
50 bucks to bet,

because Gabe
had you suspended

and ruined your career.
- But...

I will be
reinstated,

as soon as
you're exonerated.

Which you will be.

Excuse me,

we're looking for
the boathouse.

Oh, so now you're worried
about your covers.

Look, Agent Knox...

you know,

what... happened
in suburbia...

It is my fault.

Well, and we did
solve a murder.

Which proves that we can
be an asset to the FBI.

Did you two rehearse that?

No.
- Sort of.

Well, I explained all that
to the attorney general.

Let me guess,
Gabe blocked it again?

No. In fact,

I convinced the department
to drop the murder charges.

Hey, you owe me
50 bucks.

Oh, my God.
I owe you 50 bucks.

You just have to turn yourself
in to the authorities first.

Excuse me, what?

He was framed.

The DOJ knows that.

But exonerating
a fugitive on the run?

They'll get too much heat.

I got to go back?

A week, a month, tops.

I mean,
unless you want to

stroll around as tourists,
indefinitely,

turning yourself in
is your only option.

♪ Leave me, lying here

♪ 'Cause I don't wanna go

Heather wants
penis straws?

Like, she actually
wrote that in her e-mail?

Yeah. Apparently, they're
a bachelorette party staple.

♪ 'Cause I don't wanna go

So, she can't bother to
file a report against Gabe,

but she can send you
endless lists of

genitalia-themed
party favors?

Look, she needs something happy
to focus on right now.

And she's a PR girl
and PR girls

love to plan events
down to every last detail.

This is her big event.

Isn't the wedding
her big event?

She hasn't set a date
for that yet.

She also
wants something called,

"Pin the Macho on the Man."

So... keep looking.

So, Cat's supposedly
off the grid

and you're left
doing her dirty work.

God, JT,
we're in an adult store,

it's not like
we're cleaning toilets.

Hey... I see it.

I-I see the-- the macho.

You know what, like,
I brought you here

'cause we're in the honeymoon
phase of our relationship.

There's edible underwear.

Like, most guys
would be psyched,

but... you're just like,
totally grossed out.

Well, j-just about
the m-macho.

Shoot.

Wait, Tess, I, I promise, I...

I'm into this stuff.

I'm being stalked.

You don't understand:

Cat's friend Beth,
you know, uh...

her friend
from high school?

The reporter who saw
the other beast?

- She's been calling me nonstop...
- Tess.

Beth, hi.

How crazy.

We've been
playing phone-tag for days

and then we
run into each other here.

Yeah, in an awesome
adult store.

Yeah, it is...
totally crazy.

Listen... Beth,

Cat's undercover,
so I can't...

Does that have anything
to do with

the fugitive Vincent Keller?

Who?
- Who? What?

I have a source...

says she's protecting him

because Keller was part of some
military experiment

that super-charged
his DNA.

"Super-charged DNA"?

Yep. And since I know
you're all friends,

I was hoping
you could corroborate.

Listen, I thought
you were a reporter,

not a sci-fi writer, so...

Tess?

You know that
I saw something strange

at Cat's apartment
that night.

I know that you think you saw
something that night

and I also know who your
so-called source is

and he's completely unreliable. Yes.
- You do?

Well, I can't reveal my sources,
so...

It's Gabe Lowan.

And he knows what
you went through that night,

he's just using it
to his own advantage.

What advantage?

You're a reporter,
figure it out.

Yeah. We're busy.

Got to go home
and use all this stuff.

♪ Go. I don't wanna go,
I don't... ♪

What are you talking about?

Your old BFF

is writing
a news story about

your super-charged DNA.

She stalked us
to Lizzie D's closet.

Who's Lizzie D?

It's an adult store.

We were shopping.

We were buying Heather's
party favors.

Can we please get back
to the part about

someone is writing a story
about my super-charged DNA?

Okay, sorry.
But it just seems like

Gabe told Beth
about everything.

Unbelievable.

Actually, it's not.

He's lost all
political power, so,

he's chosen
the nuclear one: Exposure.

Okay.

So, once again,
he ruins our only option.

If this Beth girl
writes this story,

the attorney general

is gonna have a hard time
letting me out.

So, I'm stuck in a cell,
while this news is out there.

No, we have
another option.

What, kill Gabe?

No. Talk to him,
convince him

to call Beth off.
- Okay, that might work on a

rational human being,
but he's come unhinged.

Unhinged is
an understatement,

try murderer...
kidnapper.

No, but in his mind,

he's been doing all this
to protect me from you, right?

So, I can go over there,

tell him he
doesn't have to anymore,

that he can call Beth off
because you're going to prison.

No. I don't want you
alone with him.

But you can't come,
you're too angry.

And you're not?

No, I am...

Cause right now,
it kind of seems like

you're defending him.

No. I am trying
to figure this out.

Instead of getting angry,
which doesn't help.

If you lose it on him Vincent,

if you do anything
to Gabe,

there goes
your exoneration.

And I have to go alone.

The reason why
he's become unhinged

is because
I rejected him for you.

And he's become
a little obsessed.

Right. And I thought
you were trying to defuse me.

I'm just saying,

I have a certain power over him

and I intend to use that
to our benefit.

Well, you know, clearly, the...

the whole blonde thing

is really getting to her.

Thank you for letting me up.

Of course.

Welcome back. From?

Being on the run.

Look... Cat,

if you are here
to punch me or to...

No. I come in peace.

Because
everything I did...

Was to protect me, I know.

Turns out, that
you getting me suspended

was a good thing.

It gave me time to realize
that you were right,

that Vincent
isn't above the law.

I convinced him

that he needs to
face the consequences

and turn himself in
and he was ready to do that

until he found out
that you had talked to Beth.

Ah... Beth.

So, that's what
this visit's about.

Yeah. I can't
convince him to do this

if-if he thinks that

he's gonna be
turned into a lab rat.

So, you want me
to call Beth?

Yeah, and tell her
that you made a mistake,

that you had

false information.

And then, you will get
what you want...

Vincent behind bars.

Yeah, but that's not
the only thing that I want.

I want a shot
with you.

A genuine shot.
- Gabe.

Look, I know,
given everything I've done,

asking you to be with me
right now

would be preposterous.

But, if I could explain...

You already have,
you were protecting me.

No, I mean, really explain,
spend some time together,

earn your forgiveness.

Then, you'd be able to
open your heart to me.

Maybe.

What are you asking me?

Go out with me.
- On a date?

But you have to promise
to go into it

with your heart open
to the possibility

of us finding our way
back to each other.

I mean, if Vincent's
gonna turn himself in,

then you two will be apart
anyway, right?

So, I agree to this...

and you just call Beth off?

Say "yes" and I will
call her right now.

Okay.

I mean, yes.

Original Air Date on June 30, 2014

== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man

Tess know her way
around Lizzie D's closet

like it was her own closet.

Is that...?

The Swedes.

Four or five times
per day.

Tess should date them.

I mean, what if we're
sexually mismatched?

What if I'm not
adventurous enough for her?

Okay...

Gabe called Beth off,
story's dead.

You can turn yourself in
tomorrow.

That's amazing. See?

I'm the one
with the problem, not you.

That is amazing.

What's bothering you?

I knew you were gonna
ask me that and...

it's only bothering me

because I know it'll bother you.

Okay, what did he do?

He had one condition,

which I agreed to

because if I didn't...

All right, okay,
come on, please,

what is the condition?

Okay... he wants me to
give him a shot

at earning my forgiveness back,

which I'm obviously not
really going to do,

but I need to go out
on a date with him

and pretend that I'm open
to the possibility.

Pretend? But you actually
have to go on a date with him?

I told you, you know,
he's obsessed with me,

we need to
take advantage of that.

Okay, maybe you do
have a problem.

Okay, so, how many bases

does, uh,
pretend forgiveness

entail?
- What? None.

You know, why don't you
just let JT and Tess

go back to Lizzie D's,

get out a couple
of costumes

and you guys can do
some role-playing.

Wait, you two role-play?

I can stall things.

I move slowly,
Gabe knows that firsthand.

I don't want to know about
Gabe's firsthand.

I am just saying,
that I can be light and easy

and he won't question that.

But you have to be
light and easy, too.

That means...
when I'm out with him,

you can't check in.
No calling, no texting.

I can't text
from prison anyway. Wait...

when is this
pretend date?

Tonight.

So, I'm supposed to
just sit here

all alone, on my
final night of freedom...

And practice for tomorrow.

Knox e-mailed me,

he's setting up
a press conference

after your
surprise surrender.

You have to seem like
an innocent war hero;

no anger, no edges.

Like JT.

Hey! Excuse me, if I don't
have any animal DNA in me.

Well, you can have
some of mine, okay?

'Cause it makes
"light and easy"

completely impossible.

Okay, you think
my DNA likes this?

I am troubleshooting here,

which means checking
my emotions at the door

and you have to
do that, too.

Light and easy, okay?

The signature cocktails

could be Pink Margaritas
and the Naughty Schoolgirl--

that's martinis
with a Blow Pop.

Is that bachelorette party
planning I hear?

Cat? You're back.
Oh, my God.

This is the
best surprise ever.

Uh, meanwhile,
what's going on with that?

Yeah. You look fabulous.

You know it's not until
tomorrow night, right?

Yeah. I just,
I've got a thing.

One hot date with Vincent,
before he goes to jail?

Tess filled me in.

Actually, I am

going out with Gabe.

Gabe?
- What?

Heather, I know you don't even
want to hear his name right now,

but it's the only way
I could get him to

keep Vincent's secret.

Plus, it is just a meal.

Okay, that dress does not say
"just a meal."

This dress says "open heart,"
which, I don't have,

which is why I'm faking it
with clothing.

Well, I can't fake it.

How am I supposed to enjoy
picking out a stripper knowing

- that you're out with this...
- You might enjoy it more if you

come forward about...
This party's happening in 24 hours.

I don't have time
to go to the precinct...

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

We just need to focus on
our goals right now,

which are throwing you
an amazing party

and thwarting Gabe.

And you can help
with both those things,

cause you are not only,
a bride-to-be,

but you're also an
amazing publicist.

So, you can help Vincent
prep for his press conference,

which is going to
get him exonerated

and there is nothing
that Gabe wants less.

Okay.

Okay.

He's here.

Hi. I'm Vincent Keller,

although a lot of you
probably already know that.

Not so serious.

Smile.

From all the "wanted" banners
on your computer screens;

better than
ad banners, I-I guess.

I-I did a little punch up.

The talking points
the FBI sent were so dry.

I've got Cat's phone,

she's headed up 6th.

Toward what?

I don't know,
it's a long avenue.

Uh-uh, Vincent, we're...

Well, up 6th
is Harlem

and then after Harlem
is Queens.

And you know what's
in Queens? Both airports.

She's not getting on
a plane with Gabe.

But she-she doesn't
have a choice,

if he forces her.
And she doesn't have her

gun on her.
- Hey.

You said tracking her phone
would keep you calm.

Okay, can we get back
to the speech?

Because, helping you

is the only thing
keeping me from panicking.

Heather, please,
I can't focus on

talking points right now.
Please. Thank you.

So, what? Your gonna
bust in on their date?

No. I'm gonna trail her.

Okay. Just to make sure
she's fine.

From a distance.

They're on a date.

No way... you'll be able to
keep a distance,

let alone, your cool.

You could lose it in the
middle of some local restaurant,

which... I'm sure,
is where they're headed.

Okay, well, right now,

I don't really care
about exposure.

Whoa, hey, is that a gun?!

No. It's just a tranq.

Light and easy, remember?

Now, sit down

and read the damn speech.

Heather... he's all yours.

And you thought
I had no animal DNA.

Okay, I have no idea
what that means.

But they are not
going to the airport.

They stopped on
72nd Street.

What's on 72nd?

Cake decorating.

This is not where I thought
the limo was headed.

You thought we were going to
some stuffy restaurant, right?

But you forget...

I know you.
It was between this

and bumper cars.

Well, at least with this,

I get to make something
for my sister.

Not that I don't love
bumper cars. Oh!

They've got a high heeled shoe
in a cookie cutter,

so, I'm gonna do that

with the
black and white

to match her
color scheme.

So, uh...
when's the party?

Tomorrow.

A lot's happening tomorrow.

Vincent's
turning himself in...

What are you gonna
decorate yours with?

I don't know.

I'm having
cake decorating block.

Well, how do you feel
about trucks?

Great, when I was seven.

The truth is,
I think I'm blocked

because I can't stop
thinking about your sister.

Probably, because I'm
making her this awesome cake.

You know,
you could use pumps, too.

I'm thinking about
what happened to her.

Catherine,
I never intended...

What about flowers?
Too feminine?

Here.
- I get why you're deflecting.

If I say,
"I did it to protect you,"

one more time,
you're gonna scream, right?

Yeah. That and...

it's kind of hard to forgive.

But I am trying to have
an open heart.

That is why
I want to try to explain.

You know what happened
to my mother, right?

When you were a kid, yeah.

When I was like Vincent.

It was an accident, Gabe.

No, it wasn't.

Look, I pushed her

down those stairs,

I couldn't stop myself.

Even though,
I loved her more than anything.

I don't doubt
that Vincent loves you,

but that doesn't mean
he won't hurt you.

That is why I did
all those questionable things.

And I am so sorry

if I hurt you.

But you didn't want to
have that happen again.

Not to someone I love.

That's a lot
for a cake decorating date.

No. It's okay.

I'm glad that you told me.

You know,

I know what
I'm going to put on my cake.

Hearts.

It's good.

Well, that was fun.
Um...

and now, I have a headache

from all that wine and sugar.

I'm not gonna ask
to come up.

I'm just not there.

I understand.

It's gonna take a bit.

Maybe after bumper cars.

Good night, Cat.
- Good night.

What are you doing here?

Just, uh...
Just waiting up for you.

Uh, these guys
are just guarding me.

Kind of feel like
I'm in prison already.

Light and easy
is not easy for this one.

Yeah.
JT almost tranqed him.

But then
he did all of his PR homework

and he offered to help decorate.

And now you guys
are leaving, right?

Because it is my last night

with my girlfriend

before I hit the slammer.

Hey...

we're not going anywhere,
until we get

all the gory details.

Okay, so...

Driver...

I think we're gonna
have to turn around.

And then he apologized
for having you kidnapped,

as if I'm going to be like,

"Yeah... sure. Not a problem."

I can't believe
you let him kiss you.

It was just a peck.

And it would've been
more obvious

if I hadn't let him.

It took every ounce
of willpower

not to throw him
off me.

But I didn't

because this fake date
is going to work.

And all you have to do tomorrow
is be light and easy.

In a month from now,
you will be exonerated

and we will never
see Gabe again.

Uh, however,
just because I am innocent

does not excuse the fact
that I ran from the law.

I, uh, I know, that...

I scared the public.

He's doing great.

Yeah.

Hey, you did a good job.

Oh. He's the one up there.

But, I'm calling

because JT and I
are having a little issue.

And so it is,
with a contrite heart

that I... surrender.

He saw a picture of the stripper
Tess chose and freaked out.

I didn't freak out!

I was just, a little...
taken back.

Anyway, he dropped your cake.

I know I wasn't supposed to
look at it, but...

Heather, it's okay.

It's so cute, by the way.

I love the
blue and white tie-dye.

Uh, Specialist Keller?

Can you comment
on rumors

that your DNA
has been altered?

Uh, e-e-e-excuse me?

That's Beth!

Weren't you a part of a
failed military experiment

to create super soldiers?

I-I'm, I'm sorry.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

I thought Gabe called her off.
- So did I.

Well, isn't that why
the FBI's involved?

They're, they're trying to
protect and cover up.

We're involved,
because this is a federal case,

not a plot
in a comic book.

Thank you very much.
No further questions.

Okay, wait...

did you say that the
cake was blue and white?

Uh... yeah.
With little hearts.

I took the wrong cake.

Gabe must've come by to swap
them and overheard us.

You know,
I was joking before

but I swear,
I am gonna kill him.

Yeah, that wouldn't
help your cause.

Hey, it's not
about my cause.

All right. He thinks
that you were playing him,

God knows what he is
gonna do to you, Catherine.

Reporters these days,
huh?

Yeah, talk about
desperate for a story.

It's true.

Everything
the reporter said

is completely true.

Vincent.
- What?

I am a potentially
out of control super soldier

and I can not be incarcerated.

Right now, that
that story is out there,

there is a target on my back.
Is he for real?

Yes.

He has modified DNA,

but that's not why
he's doing this.

He is trying to
protect me from Gabe.

I'm sorry,
modified DNA?

And you're only telling me now?

We were trying to
protect you.

People that know
about this, end up dying.

Okay, that's
beside the point.

But we have to
do something else,

other than going to prison.

Something else?!

Those guys
with cuffs over there

are waiting to take you away.

You just surrendered
in front of America

with me by your side.
I'm out on a limb, here.

We know, we're so grateful.
I can't believe this.

I've heard about something
like this, but...

This is why we keep telling you
he could be an asset.

It's how we were able to
rescue your colleague.

He could do
so much more.

And you're not out on a limb.

We can control this.

No one else
needs to know about it.

The reporter?
How are you gonna control that?

She's a high school
friend of mine,

I can talk to her. And, Vincent,

maybe Agent Knox can
get you into a solitary cell.

Can you even be in a cell?

Yes. He can act like
every other prisoner.

They say "jump,"
he will jump.

Okay.

But you can not
break out again

or it's on me.
- On one condition.

Yes, I have a condition
this time.

You stay away from Gabe.

Done.

You obviously didn't prod
hard enough.

I prodded plenty.

You said he'd have a reaction.

The only reaction I got
was from my colleagues

wondering if I'm working for
the National Inquirer.

Look, Beth,
I know there's been a lot of

back and forth on this, but...

Can you hang on a minute?

Can I help you?

Yeah. Rewiring your neighbors,
I just want to...

I have proof--
a serum, that corrupts DNA.

A serum?

Back when I was running

the precinct, we arrested

a-a deranged scientist,
Sam Landon.

He developed it
based on research

the government used...

Hey, Cat's calling me
on the other line.

Probably to do damage control.

Look, Beth, this is real.

This is the secret,
that she's been protecting.

Protecting, why?

Because she's in love
with Vincent.

Evening,
Specialist Keller.

I'm Agent Thomas,
this is Agent Barnett.

Knox wants to do some tests.

Tests for what?

Mm, wants to see
what you can do.

Part of getting you
out of here

as soon as possible.

There a problem?

No.

You say "jump"...

...I jump.

♪ I've been such a good girl,
living in a bad world... ♪

That's why I invited you here.

I thought it was
to celebrate Heather.

I just think that before you writ
this story, you need all the facts.

You're with Vincent,
and that's why you're

protecting him.
I have all the facts.

Okay, but doesn't that put Gabe,
as a source, into question?

He is the spurned ex.

Uh, wait, what?

Yeah. We dated.

So much for
having all the facts.

Cat, it's your turn
to pin the macho!

Okay, one second.

That's what Gabe's doing.

He's trying to pin this
on Vincent

'cause he knows he's gonna get
cleared of murder charges.

It's like in high school,

when Tommy Rice said
that Lisa Lieberman had VD

after she dumped him,

so that no one else
would date her.

Gabe is making up crazy things
to get Vincent out of the picture.

It doesn't mean
that what he's saying isn't true

and Lisa Lieberman
did have something.

Look, you both know
that I saw that guy here...

in this apartment.
You were traumatized.

Both of you keep saying that,
but I wasn't.

And you forget, I knew you
when your mother was killed.

And you told everyone
a beast saved you.

Gabe's using that, too.

You don't get the extent
of his crazy, all right?

He kidnapped Heather.

Tess.
- Kidnapped?

There's been
no charges filed.

Heather has been busy
planning the party.

I have to take this.

What do you mean,
he's not in his cell?

I mean, he escaped again.

No. That's impossible.

Beth still thinks that Gabe
is a reliable source.

Can you just please,
tell her what he did to you?

I told you.

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

I just called to check on him

and the guard says
he's not there.

Heather...

You were supposed to make this
the most amazing night

of my life, and now,
you've completely ruined it!

Well, I... uh...

I just totally screwed up
with your sister.

Vincent's gone.
What?!

Yeah. Someone must have
seen that press conference

and had him taken.

We've been so focused
on killing Beth's story,

we forgot that people are
still after the beast.

Well, where you going?
I'm going to Gabe's.

I think this might have
been his plan all along.

Uh...

Hey. Fireman Franz.

You the lady on fire?
- Yes.

Should I chase her?

No, it's a...
it's a different kind of fire.

Heather open up, please.

Fireman Franz is here,
and he looks even cuter

than he did on the Web site.

I don't really feel
like being hosed down right now.

Look, I am so sorry
that I blabbed to Beth, okay?

I had too many Schoolgirls.

So, it's true?

Excuse me. I'm in the middle
of a private conversation.

And, no, it is not true.
I lied to make a point.

But don't let me ruin
your party, all right?

Look, your friends won't even
let him take his clothes off

until the bride-to-be
comes out here.

Just tell him
to strip without me, okay?

I can't pretend to be the happy
bride-to-be one more minute.

Pretend? Why?
Because she knows about Vincent,

and you guys won't let her
say anything?

Can you go?

Seriously, she's not
even friends with you.

Well, neither are you, Tess!

You have the biggest mouth
in the world!

I haven't even told my fiancé.

You haven't?

About what?
About Vincent?

About the fact
that I was kidnapped,

and I'm completely traumatized.

And I am not opening this door.

♪ I'm on a train
going nowhere ♪

♪ I ran away
to make you care... ♪

You know, this thing
can go as fast as a car.

A car?

Well, I'm not sure what Knox

told you about me.

That you have
some incredible talents.

I don't know about that.

Thing is,
your vitals seem great,

like you're not
even trying.

Oh, you got all that
from this little wristband, huh?

I just want to make sure
that you're not holding back.

Look, this is the pace I'm
gonna go until Knox gets here,

okay? If you want
to change the music,

kill some time, then go ahead.

Is that Knox now?

What?

Gabe? Open up. It's Cat.

Hey, you can't go in there.

What are you doing?

Get out of here!
- What is this?

That's ADA Lowan.

You looking for your cake?

Okay, I'm sorry

if you overheard anything
that hurt your feelings,

but where is he?

Come on, Gabe. Where's Vincent?
'Cause he's not in his cell, and

Knox doesn't know where he is.

Who do you really work for, huh?

Who do you work for?!

I'm not leaving
until you tell me.

No!

Don't shoot him!

Okay. Okay, that was awesome.

Let me see your
phone, e-mail.

You must have
contacted somebody.

I told you, I don't
know where he is.

Right, so you just
talked to Beth

to get her
to write some article?

I don't think so.

You wanted her to start asking
questions publicly to alert

whoever's after Vincent.
That was your whole plan.

My whole plan

was to have a genuine
shot at us being together,

but you, apparently,
were just using me.

You were threatening exposure.

Don't try to justify it.
We had an agreement.

And I held up my end.

I put on a dress,
and I got in your limo.

All I asked was that you go
into this an open heart.

After everything you've done?

Gabe, you kidnapped
my little sister.

You've blocked Vincent
and my happiness at every turn.

Your lack of happiness
has nothing to do with me.

He is who he is.

Take a look at this.

It's Rebecca Reynolds' journal.

I found it when I was doing
all that research for you.

Rebecca had a beast
in her life, too.

He turned out
to be so dangerous

that she had to kill him.

I am trying to save you
from that fate.

My fate isn't written
by some relative 200 years ago.

Well, it seems
like a pretty big coincidence.

Catherine, you are never going
to be happy with him.

You don't know
what makes me happy.

I do, and I think
you know that, too.

I mean, come on, Cat.

We both know
that you're not here

looking for where Vincent is.

What?

Look, think about it.

You believe that I used Beth

to alert the boogeymen who are
after Vincent, right? So,

doesn't that mean
that I don't know

how to get a hold
of them myself?

So, how could I know
where he is?

Cat, you are here because

I am the man
that you run to

when you need help.
I am your safe haven.

Okay, you are... you are crazy.
- No.

You know it's true.
We belong together.

No, we don't!

Did you just push me?

Okay, look, Gabe, I...

I just want to know
where Vincent is, okay?

Well, hopefully,

he's being dissected
into little bits.

It's what he deserves.

Rebecca Reynolds
would have agreed.

And as for me supposedly doing
all of these awful things?

You shouldn't just
be forgiving me. You should be

thanking me.
I was protecting you from him!

I don't need your protection!

Yes, you do!

Gabe?

Gabe?

Oh, my God.

Where's your pal?

They're on with
the Department,

figuring out what
to do with you.

What department's that?

We're legit. We work for
the government, okay?

We are the good guys.

Right, so,
by "good guys", you mean

guys that are good
at covering things up.

All right, tell me this.

Why are you surveilling
ADA Lowan, huh?

Is it because
he's been talking to reporters?

You weren't supposed
to go in there.

It's just that,
in my experience,

anyone who talks about this
program publicly winds up dead.

Is that what's going
to happen to Gabe?

I just make the gadgets.

Why don't

you let me take care
of him for you, hmm?

You... you want us
just to let you go?

Well, it's not like
you won't know where I am.

I'll go back to prison.

I'll have a perfect alibi,

and everything will remain
classified.

He has a
proposition for us.

Let's hear it.

Three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16...

What's going on?

Okay, it's not
what it looks like.

I-I don't even know
what it looks like,

but you-you have to do
something, you have to save him.

He doesn't have a pulse.
Save him? Really?

Well, actually,
I came here to kill him.

No. I... I did this.

I was at the bachelorette party,
and Agent Knox called me, and

he didn't know where you were,
and I thought that Gabe was

responsible, and things just escalated.
All right, easy, easy.

Easy, easy. Light and easy, remember?
But I told you,

he doesn't have a pulse.
Okay, I know that I promised

I'd stay away from him, but
I wasn't thinking clearly,

and I thought he'd know
where you were, so I just...

- It's JT. I needed a doctor.

- Come in.
- He still dead?

Vincent's trying
to save him.

You escaped again?

So much for positive press?

The only thing I can think of
is cardiac tamponade.

That sounds bad. It's a buildup of fluid
around the, uh... the heart.

It must be blood
from the trauma.

You did this? Really?
Can you fix it?

Okay, I need something
to relieve the pressure

and-and drain the fluid.
There's a needle in there.

I pulled out Gabe's flatlining kit.
Okay,

I need to restrain him
in case he wakes up.

Uh, I've got handcuffs.

They're for me and Tess,

'cause I do have edge.

Oh, not... not that much edge.

All right, I got it.

Okay, check his pulse.
Okay.

Yeah. I feel it.

Is he gonna be okay?
This means I didn't kill him?

No, you didn't kill him.

And I didn't
kill him, either.

Hey, it's okay.

Now we're hugging
because he's alive.

All right, guys, if she
feels any better, we'll

meet you over there, okay?
Okay.

Beth, I got it.
You can go home, too.

I'm not here as a reporter
anymore, okay?

I... I actually
really care about Heather.

In fact,

I've known her
a little longer than you.

Okay, it's not a competition.
And don't even pretend

like you're not
gonna leap at her

with questions the second she
comes out of that bathroom.

- You're the one who made her cry.
- This is neither of your faults.

Heather.

No, I shouldn't even
have had this party.

You know why
I had it now?

Because my fiancé's
out of town

and I'm too terrified
of being alone.

I just wanted to feel like
a bride-to-be, you know,

I wanted to be all blissed
out on wedding dresses

and silly phallic party favors,
instead of constantly thinking

about being in that dungeon,

scared I'm about to die.

You know,

after that night,
when I thought I saw

whatever it was
that I saw,

I've never
written so many

puff pieces
in my entire career.

You were right, Tess.

I was traumatized.

Gabe took
full advantage of that.

Gabe.

We should pin the macho on him.

Well, there is something
you could do to get back at him.

Yeah, not write my story.

Actually, I was
talking to Heather.

So, you didn't
break out of prison--

you did everything
you were supposed to?

Except kill Gabe.

Well, I wasn't supposed to.

Last few days I've
been telling everyone

I can take care of
things, just telling them

to manage the situation,
light and easy,

and then I go and...

Beast out?

I was going to say
lose complete control,

but, yeah. Yeah,
I beasted out.

Got so angry I
scared myself.

Oh, I know the feeling.

But you're supposed to do that.

What, because of my DNA?

What, so I can lose
it, but you can't?

You know what I mean,
it's different.

Look, I'm not saying what
happened tonight was okay.

But maybe the reason
it happened is because

you do have some anger.

Which you're completely
entitled to,

given everything that
Gabe has done, all right?

All right, it's just...
I don't know, it's like

you never really let
yourself express it.

You're always calming
everyone else down.

I guess I'm saying

you don't always
have to fix

everyone else's mess.

You know, in fact,
it was kind of nice

for me to fix your mess for once.
- Oh, come on,

you fix my messes.

I save you, sometimes,

from other people, but...

not from yourself.

And if you hadn't have
beasted out on Gabe tonight,

I would've come over here,

killed him,
he would be dead, and I

would be
in a lot of trouble.

So, your beasting out,

in the end, saved him.

And me.

Knox is calling
for you. And FYI,

you-know-who is stirring.

Yeah, hey.

Congratulations.

You've been exonerated
of all charges.

He pushed it through.

What?
- Oh, my God.

Actually, it wasn't
me who did it.

Well, who was it?

I'm thinking whoever signed you
out of prison today.

So they were legit.
Who are these guys?

Don't know. But they
must go pretty high up.

Yeah, sure.

Okay, thank you.
Thanks.

I got to take him
to the agents who broke me out.

Whoever they are.

Wait, you're leaving?
What about Voldemort?

I can handle him.

I mean, I will
have JT supervise.

You're a free man.

Sorry about the cuffs.

It's over now.

Vincent's been
exonerated.

And if you try to expose him--

you talk to Beth,
you talk to anybody--

I will come
after you.

I will expose everything
that you have done.

And Heather will, too.

Tess called.
She wants to come forward.

You lost, Gabe.

And it makes me really sad.

Because there was a time when
I really had feelings for you,

when you were a man who
wanted to save people.

And that is why I agreed
to go on that fake date.

I went into it with an open
heart-- not a romantic one--

but one that was hoping
to find that man again.

But he's gone.

I swear it was filled
with equipment.

Obviously, they didn't
want us to find them.

They say what they wanted with
you other than to kill Gabe?

No, that was just
the deal I made with them

to let me go from here.

Why would
they do that?

Because they got
what they wanted.

My blood.

I can't believe
you went back to Lizzie D's.

I told you, I'm edgy.

JT, I don't need you
to be edgy, okay?

I was into edgy
when I was 22.

But what you said,
in the... in the store.

Oh.

I was overcompensating.

To be honest, like,
this stuff makes me

nervous, too, and...

I didn't fully realize
it till Franz, that

stripper guy, he showed up,
and I could barely look at him.

You weren't into Franz, either?
No, I was hiding in

Cat's hall the entire
show. I was almost

relieved when Heather
had the breakdown,

so, you know,
I had an excuse.

So we're not
sexually mismatched?

Not that I'm aware of.

Do you think we are?

No.

I'm good.

We probably shouldn't
do this at Gabe's.

Oh.
- Yeah.

He still in the bathroom?

Gabe?

Gabe?

Gabe?

Gabe, you okay?

You know, it sounds like
those Swedes have left.

Maybe we should
stay another night.

Huh?

Okay, what are you reading?

Rebecca Reynolds' journal.

Gabe had it.

It's all about how she feels

like she has to kill Alistair.
Who?

Her beast.

Her beast? Alistair, Really?
That is a ridiculous name.

Okay, well, it was
a long time ago,

back then Alistair was like "Jake."
- That's my

second point: it was
a long time ago, so

it doesn't mean anything.
We got nothing to worry about.

Yeah, except for the mysterious men
who stole your blood.

Catherine, come on,
you were right, okay?

You're getting your badge
back, I'm a free man.

No one thinks I
ripped anyone's

heart out. I can
walk down the street

without a fake mustache.

Although, right
now, I mean...

it is raining.

I would rather stay
inside, anyway.

Oh, now you appreciate
the youth hostel.

You know, I've always wanted to...

backpack around Europe.

Yeah?

Can you put that wig back on?

Just one more time.

Is that a no?
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm.

Is that no?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Sorry to make you wait.

Yeah, in the middle
of the night.

So, you brought
the serum?

Actually, I didn't.
- Right.

Because none of this
is real, right, Gabe?

Look, I'm not
doing this story.

I don't believe Vincent's a
beast, or that they even exist.

Well, they do. And tomorrow,
everyone will know.

What does that mean?
