Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016): Season 3, Episode 6 - Chasing Ghosts - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Previously on Beauty and the Beast:

- Will you marry me?
- Yes.

Finally! Where have you two been?
We have a wedding to plan.

People are dying, detective.

Somebody's getting ordinary
people to do extraordinary things,

things that nobody
should be able to do.

Experimenting on them, they're pushing
the limits of their body and mind.

We have to stop whoever's behind this
before someone else gets hurt.

I think we should be
a bit worried

especially now we know
whoever's behind it all is after me.

Except, I don't think that they know
who you are yet.



- So, what do you think?
- I don't know. You like it?

Yeah.
You know, I think it's beautiful.

Although I thought the last four places
we looked at were great, so...

Well, maybe you're not
as picky as I am.

Or as indecisive.

I just-- I want to get married to you
as soon as possible,

- you know, in a place just like this.
- I know, but...

But what?

Whoever Bob and Carol
were trying to deliver you to?

They're out there.
If he knows you're a beast...

We know they didn't have a chance
to tell their boss before they died.

But he's still gonna want to know who
took out his superhuman assassins

- and that's gonna lead them to us.
- Catherine, I thought we agreed

we weren't letting any threats
get in the way of us getting married.



So, what's really holding you back?

[HEATHER HUMS
"WEDDING MARCH"]

So? Yes? No?

That's okay. We'll just keep looking.

That leaves the Armoury Hall
and the St. Boniface Atrium.

- But the Atrium only seats 120.
- I'm sure we could squeeze into that.

Are you sure? Matthew and I had
a headcount of 100 each.

Remember, you have to invite
Dad's partners from the law firm

and there's Mom's cousins
in Toronto.

Okay, why do I have to invite Mom's
cousins? I don't really know them.

If Mom were here, she'd want that.

- Yeah, but she isn't here, is she?
- Ugh.

- I'm sorry.
- No, that's fine.

You don't have to apologise.

I went through the same thing
for my wedding.

Hard not having her here
for things like this.

I've got to get to work.

Thought you had to pick up your
mom's sisters from Grand Central?

Well, I have that case, remember?

What case?

Cat, Aunt Lily and Aunt Claire

came in a day early
before the shower just to see you.

- So please do not blow them off.
- Fine, I'll meet you there.

- But I gotta go, okay?
- But--

What is her problem?

Hey. Do you really
have to go to work

or are you trying to get out of
picking up your aunts?

You heard Heather.
This is about Mom for her.

It'll get worse
when Mom's sisters are around.

I am seriously regretting
having Heather plan my shower.

Yeah, well, still.

Family and weddings
tend to go together, don't they?

Whether you like it or not.

I'm sorry, you've got your own
family issues right now, don't you?

- Have you called your cousins?
- No.

- No, not yet, but I'm going to.
- Vincent...

It's not that easy, all right?
I feel like I left it too long.

I should've called them last year
when I came back from the dead, right?

I didn't know what to say then and I
don't know what to say to them now.

You're getting married
and want to reconnect.

- It is the perfect time.
- I don't know.

I haven't seen them for years.
Not since my brothers' funerals.

I know they're not your brothers,
Vincent,

but they're the only family
you've got.

Hmm.

Wait, you're just trying to fill up
my side of the church, aren't you?

Maybe I am.

[CHUCKLES]

- What?
- What? Nothing.

Cousin Vinnie! There he is.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey. Come here, huh? Ah!

Look at you.
Ghost from the freaking past.

Hank.
Hank, what are you doing here?

- At least you still remember my name.
VINCENT: Yeah, yeah.

Of course. I wasn't expecting you.

Surprise.

I was starting to wonder when I was
gonna hear from you again.

- You're too good for the old gang?
VINCENT: No, no.

No, not at all. I just-
Things have been complicated.

Look, I'm just messing with you, man.
Family's where they let you in, right?

- Right.
- I brought a couple distant cousins.

These are my sister's boys.
They were just kids when you enlisted.

This is Lou.
He's going to law school.

- Hey, how's it going?
- Following in Uncle Hank's footsteps.

- Of course.
HANK: This is Damon.

- He works on Wall Street.
- Pleasure.

- Hey. Nice to meet you.
- Somebody has to, right?

[DAMON CHUCKLES]

So you tracked down the family?
Catherine, uh, knew about this, huh?

Ah, yeah, the professor told us
about the lucky lady.

Looking forward to meeting her.

We both thought
it would be a good idea.

Think of it as an
early wedding present.

Couldn't get your nephew,
he's overseas.

But I was able to track down
your cousins.

And presto. Instant bachelor party.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

- "Bachelor party"?
- Surprise again!

- Hey.
- Hey, Vin. It's great to see you, man.

Wow.

[HANK CHUCKLES]

--Patrols on the Heights through the
weekend. What are you doing here?

Aunts, train station,
any of this ringing a bell?

Heather's picking them up.

So I scheduled you for two days off
why exactly?

- I know, and I appreciate it.
- All right, then scram.

Hug your aunts, hang crepe paper.
I'll see you at the shower.

Hey, should I bring
a karaoke machine?

Actually, Heather's plan
is more high tea at the palace.

And she's even making
cucumber sandwiches.

So, what?
I got to, like, wear a hat?

I wanna check
Bob and Carol's place once more.

Why? We've been over this.
What do you think you're gonna find?

Hopefully, something that gives me
a clue as to who hired them.

I think maybe we missed something.
Do not give me that look, Tess.

I cannot justify going for tea
with my mom's sisters

when somebody's hunting Vincent.

They're not hunting Vincent.
They're hunting beasts.

They don't know he is one.

So you're gonna have to come up
with a better excuse-- Okay.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hey, Heath. How's it going?

"How's it going?" I've got two tiny little
aunts here with two giant suitcases

and no sister- And no sister.

I'm sorry.
I just got hung up at work.

They're hereto see you, not me!

Hey, Heather. It's Tess.
Yeah, you know what? It's my fault.

It's a case.

Mm-hm. It's just one thing.
She'll be home in an hour.

Ugh. Fine.

All right, you got one hour.
See what you can find.

Then go make nice with your aunts.

- Go.
- Okay.

Double top!
Got some catching up to do, little bro.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until you choke
and go bust like always.

- Remind you of a few other brothers?
- Yeah.

- You know, I still miss them every day.
- Yeah, I know.

Listen, um, you're not mad at me
about all this, right?

No. No, not at all, man. I just-

Look, I wanted to connect
with my family.

I just- I didn't know how.

HANK:
Well, here we are, gentlemen.

Triple-distilled,
30 years in sherry casks.

Top-shelf.

Uh, thanks, Hank.
But I think I'm okay with beer.

Oh, come on. One last blowout, right?
Only the best.

Cheers.

- Oh! Pay up, little brother!
- Oh, come on! Double or nothing.

DAMON: Where's your money?
- That reminds me of the old days,

those Keller family softball games?

- Loser always bought the beer.
- Which was usually your team

because the Keller brothers
were always winning.

Pfft. Revisionist history, am I right?

Yeah, not really ringing a bell,
actually.

What? Come on, every Labour Day,
Prospect Park, whole family.

You really don't remember?

I guess I must've been
at law school at the time, huh?

- Too bad. It was good times.
- Yeah.

WOMAN:
I'm looking for Vincent Keller.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, what's going on?
ls Catherine okay?

Mr. Keller, you're under arrest.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You got the wrong guy.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, no, my orders are quite clear.
You have the right to remain silent.

J.T.: Oh. Okay.
- Uh... J.T.?

ALL: Oh!
- J.T.?

- I...
VINCENT: Uh...

I heard you like a woman in uniform.
You're welcome.

I don't know anything about this.

Hey. guys? No, this is--

This is completely unnecessary.
Guys?

It's all covered, sweetie.
You're calling the shots.

[GUNSHOTS NEARBY]

Sorry.

[GUNSHOTS CONTINUE]

Hey, get down! Get down!

MAN:
Get off of my street!

VINCENT:
Step back!

- Back.
- Get back, man!

- Clear out, all of you!
J.T.: Get back!

Whoa. Did you see that?

- No, uh, we gotta go.
- Vincent!

- Vincent!
- No! Hey, Hank! Hank! Hank!

Hank! Get down, man!

- Hey!
- Unh!

[GROWLING]

Vincent, down here!
Hank's been shot!

[HANK GROANING]

- You all right?
- I'm okay.

CATHERINE: How's Hank doing?
- Uh, he's doing okay.

The bullet went clean through.
So he should make a good recovery.

But I just-- I don't know.
I can't believe I let that happen to him.

You can't blame yourself, Vincent.
You didn't know he was gonna be here.

No, but apparently you did.

Sorry. Was it so bad?

No. But in a perfect world,

it would've been a nicer surprise
if it was my brothers.

But it was fine, you know,
until Hank got shot.

Right, speaking of which,
how's our superhuman shooter doing?

Well, he's isolated and sedated,
but it's strange, you know,

unlike the other experiments,
it seems he's getting better.

What do you mean?

He wasn't trying to escape
or climb the walls, you know?

It's as if he was slowly returning
to his natural state.

That doesn't make any sense.

I know, I'm getting J.T. to test his
blood, see if there's any differences.

I don't like that it was
outside your bachelor party.

Too close for it to be a coincidence.

Come on, okay,
I wasn't his target, all right?

In fact, it was like
he didn't have a target at all.

The fact it was on that street
in our neighbourhood,

it might mean whoever hired
Bob and Carol is closing in on us.

Or it might mean that you were
trying to avoid your mom's sisters.

- I am not avoiding them.
- Eeh! I'm sorry, try again.

Okay, I'm saying when I went
to Bob and Carol's apartment,

it had been cleaned out,
professionally.

Which means it's possible
whoever's behind this

is doing whatever they can
to figure out

who's stopping their experiments.

The sample on the left is from when the
shooter was first put in the ambulance

and the one on the right
was taken less than an hour ago.

- Cells are normal.
- Which means he's normal now too.

How can that be?
He climbed the fire escape

like Spider-Man or something.

Doesn't that mean he's enhanced?

Could he have burned it out,
like what happened with you?

I'm working on
what happened with me.

But what happened with this guy
wasn't caused by that serum.

That's the result
of a blood-borne parasite.

A parasite, like a bug?
So he caught this like a cold?

Well, I don't know exactly
how it got transmitted, but it did.

And this parasite's fast-acting too,

which means he had to have
contracted it a day or two ago at most.

So somebody enhanced a parasite
so it would spread?

It's a more efficient delivery system
than the serum, right?

And potentially
more widespread too.

Whoever's behind this
is accelerating things.

In our backyard.

We should track the movements
of the shooter,

- see where he contracted it.
- Before it becomes an outbreak,

and we've got superhuman maniacs
coming out of our ears.

I'll go to the precinct
to put a profile together,

- where he lives--
- I'm doing that. You're going home.

- Home?
- Cat, I promised Heather

you'd be there an hour ago.

That was before
someone shot at Vincent.

Not at me, near me.

- Okay, but the point is--
- The point is you keep bitching

about having to hold her life back
for this crap, so don't.

So far, it's an isolated incident,
the shooter's under control.

Come on, it doesn't take two cops
to run a background check.

You're captain,
you shouldn't have 10--

Pull rank and order you to go home?

Okay, uh, how about you go deal
with my cousin

- and I'll go deal with your aunts?
- Deal.

Go, both of you, I'll stay here
and keep working on the samples,

see what I can figure out.

Okay, promise me if you
find anyihing, you'll call me.

- Of course. Bye.
- Okay.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Catherine, hi.
We've been waiting for you.

- Where the hell are you?
CATHERINE: Um, yeah.

In the hallway,
I don't want to come in.

Can you handle things
a little bit longer?

What?

No. I don't know what your issue is,
Cat, but they're hereto see you,

so you better get in here
and deal with them

or I'll say you're engaged to a beast.

- You wouldn't.
- Although Aunt Lily would find it sexy.

Ask me how I know.

Oh, look, here's Cat now.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

[CLAIRE SIGHS]

Oh, my God!
Aunt Claire, come on, up you go.

Get some water, Heather.
You all right?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm sorry, I just-

When I saw you
come in through the door,

I thought I was seeing a ghost.
You look... You lookjust like her.

LILY:
It's true, Catherine, you really do.

I can't even imagine
how much you must miss your mother.

Especially at a time like this.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- So am I gonna live, doc?
- Heh. Yeah, it looks like it.

Thanks to you.
Heard you called in a chit,

got me the same surgeon
who does the mayor.

- Don't think I won't return that favour.
- Heh.

- I am not looking for favours.
- And don't worry, I learned my lesson.

No more strippers, that is for sure.

[CHUCKLES]

Not to worry.

Look, uh, Hank,
I gotta apologise to you, man.

I, uh...

I'm really sorry for being
out of touch for so long.

You know, it's just ever since
I got back from Afghanistan,

- a lot has changed for me.
- Yeah.

Yeah, a lot changed around here too.
You know, I got married, had a kid.

- He's, uh, 4, by the way.
- Oh, yeah? That's awesome.

Congratulations. You know,
I'd like to meet them someday.

Yeah, just what you need, huh?
Another distant cousin.

- Sorry?
- I mean, look,

we both know
I can't replace your brothers.

- I don't expect--
- Yeah, but that's life, right?

You know, we...

We hung around together, then we
grew up, went our separate ways.

Me to law school,
you and your brothers to the firehouse.

I mean, God rest their souls.

Pretty damn hard
to compete with that.

Yeah, well,
there's no need to compete.

I mean, you're a big shot lawyer now.
You're doing pretty well for yourself.

I do okay, yeah.

Especially considering
nobody expected me to.

Yeah, the truth is, Grandpa never
thought much of my old man, either.

- Come on, I don't think that's true.
- You know, your father, your brothers,

you guys were the real heroes
of the family.

No amount of success on my side
could ever compete with it.

Especially after the martyr thing.

- What are you talking about?
- Oh, I'm just saying, you know?

- Now I get to be my kid's hero.
- You gotta be kidding me, right?

You know, my brothers, they died
on duty rushing into those towers.

Hey, Vinnie, come on, relax.

I didn't mean anything by it,
I'm just--

NURSE: Dr. Keller.
- What?

They need you in ER, stat.

WOMAN [ON PA]: All available
physicians, please report to the ER.

- What?
WOMAN: All available security,

please report to Emergency.

Vinnie.

You and your mum were always
so much alike, Catherine.

Always had big things going on.
Worlds to save.

Apples don't fall far from the tree.

Sometimes they do,
depends on the slope.

CLAIRE: Must have been hard
for you two growing up,

what with Vanessa
always off doing

such important work
for the government.

Vaccinating children in Africa, helping
wounded soldiers in Afghanistan.

- Yeah, wounded.
- Oh, there you are.

Just a month old.

You and your mum
were virtually inseparable

from the day you were born.

LILY: You would scream bloody
murder if anyone else tried to hold you.

Even your father.

- Poor Thomas.
- Well, she was a baby. Heh.

Babies cry.
Who else, uh, wants more tea?

- Oh, no, I'm just gonna float away.
- I wouldn't mind a glass of wine.

- I'll get the bottle.
- I'll help you pour.

Don't you dare ruin this.

By what, telling them that Thomas
wasn't my biological father?

What good would that do?

You need to do some forgiving and
forgetting or you need to start faking it.

- Oh, what's that?
- For the shower tomorrow.

It's a memory lantern.

For your mother, you write
the name of your ancestor on it,

then you light it and launch it into
the sky to invite their spirit to visit.

You're the bride,
you should write her name.

You know,
Mom never taught me calligraphy,

she was too busy
doing other things.

Well, we'll all do it together.

It'll be like all our voices
calling out to her.

You know what,
I'm more concerned--

[PHONE RINGING]
Telephone! It's Vincent.

- Have some wine?
- Yeah.

How are things going on your end?

[CLAMOURING]

Hey, not good.

Know that outbreak
that J.T. warned us about?

It's happening.

TESS: Whoever they are,
they're targeting our turf.

- Every outbreaks in the 125th.
CATHERINE: How many so far?

- Ten and counting.
- It doesn't make sense.

The innocents that were chosen
for serum experiments

were specifically targeted.
Why change to this outbreak approach?

What are they trying to accomplish?

If they're trying to make things worse
and fast, they're sure as hell doing that.

Detectives are backtracking
victims' movements

for the past 24 hours,
see if we can find patient zero.

Right now, everybody thinks
it's a new street drug

- but the wider this breaks--
- Okay, just, it doesn't make sense.

I don't think they'd want exposure
any more than we do.

So, what is it that they do want?

Look, I hate to say it,
but maybe you were right.

Maybe they created these
supercharged experiments

to flush out whoever killed
Bob and Carol.

They figure whoever recognizes
the pattern is who they're looking for.

I don't know. If they infected
one shooter, then maybe.

But infecting
all of these innocent people?

[SIGHS]

Tess, I cannot believe

that when Vincent called rne
for a second I was actually relieved.

My first thought

was at least I don't have to hear
any more about Saint Vanessa.

Was it really that bad?

My aunts are trying to invite the ghost
of my mother to my bridal shower.

Yes, it was.

Poor Heather,
she doesn't understand

and I don't want to burst her bubble
and tell her that our precious mother

is the one that turned Vincent
into a beast.

But it was an accident.

It doesn't matter.
Look at what it's cost him, Tess.

Look at what it's cost us.

For all we know, this outbreak really
is all about trying to find Vincent.

Thanks again, Mom.

[SIGHS]

- Hey. How bad is it out there?
- Ugh.

We got 12 more in isolation beds
as we speak.

And it's getting worse.

You know, Catherine's right.
This thing can't be a coincidence.

Neighbourhood,
her precinct, the hospital.

I mean, it's too close
to home for my liking.

Yeah, well, it's closer than you think.
Take a look at this.

Studying the parasite sample,

I thought I recognised something in
the way it mutated the victim's DNA.

I wasn't sure,
but then I compared it to

the serum sample
in the earlier victims.

- Notice anyihing?
- Nucleotide repeats.

So minute I didn't see it at first,
but there it is in every victim,

which means...

Which means they're using
prom-beast DNA.

From the original species
from 10,000 years ago.

- How is that even possible?
- I don't know.

Whoever these guys are,

they're using the same mutation
that made you...you.

CATHERINE: Prom-beast DNA?
Are you sure?

They were making superhumans,
not superbeasts.

That might explain
why Bob and Carol thought

I was so valuable
to whoever's behind it all, right?

I can't believe this.
We were done chasing beasts.

Believe me, I wish we were.

Well, it'll narrow down
who we're looking for.

Can't be that many people
that know about the proto-beast.

No, which is why I think
we should go and see your father.

- My father? Why?
- Why?

Because he's one of the few people
who does know.

No way. I have enough
family drama right now

without adding my biological father
to the mix.

Okay, look, I am not his
biggest fan either, all right?

I know this is gonna be hard, but if
someone is using prom-beast DNA,

then Reynolds may be our only hope
at finding out who it is

or where the hell
they got it in the first place.

Okay, fine. We'll talk to him.

I'd rather talk about that ring
you're wearing. Congratulations.

- I had no idea you two were engaged.
- We're not hereto get your blessing.

You tried to get the groom executed,
remember?

That doesn't exactly reserve you
a spot on the Save the Date list.

All right, then why are you here?

Someone is experimenting
on innocents,

trying to push the limits of what's
physically and mentally possible.

- By using prom-beast DNA.
- Prom-beast?

Who the hell has access to that?

- You tell us.
- I don't know.

We only used prom-beast
to make super soldiers.

This sounds like it could be bigger.

This sounds like somebody
is getting close

to perfecting Vanessa's formula.

Meaning what?

See, your mom had this theory
that, in success,

her experiments could skip a couple
of steps in the evolutionary chain.

Turn humans into superhumans.

And you really have no idea
who could be behind it all?

No.

Everybody I know
in that line of work is dead.

Yeah, including Mom.

Vanessa didn't mean
for things to turn out this way.

Things did turn out this way,
didn't they?

Which means Vincent is in even
more danger than he was before.

- Well, don't blame your mother.
- Why the hell not?

And who are you to defend her?

She's dead and you're in prison
for the same reason.

You are both to blame for this mess.

- You shouldn't be mad at her.
- Well, too bad, because I am.

And I'm mad at you too.

The only difference is, she's not around
anymore to answer for this, is she?

Okay, look, you're telling me
that you have no idea

how we can figure out
who is behind it?

No.

Although, if the victims have
prom-beast in their blood,

you could track them, maybe even
all the way back to their source.

No, I mean, there are barely trace
amounts, I can hardly get a fix on them.

Hey, that's all you got.

You're connected to these experiments
by blood, Vincent. Use that.

Hey, Catherine.

Um...

I gave you a box from your mom
after I sold the house.

- Have you looked inside?
- No.

You should.

You might find some of the answers
you're looking for.

CATHERINE:
So we go back to J.T.,

see if he can put together
enough prom-beast DNA

- so that we can track down--
- No, so I can track down the source.

I am not letting you go by yourself.

Whoever's behind this may not know
you're a beast yet

but if you show up,
they may find out.

I will never let that happen, okay?

I will call you before that happens.
Hey, listen to me.

We promised each other
we wouldn't let this kind of stuff

get in the way of us
living our lives, right?

How am I supposed to go
to my shower

and even pretend
to care about ribbon bouquets

and paper lanterns
with all this going on?

Listening to my sister and my aunts
talk about what a great mother I had,

how much good she did.

Hey. Hey, you deserve to have
this shower, okay?

And it's about you,
it's not about your mom.

Vincent, there is an outbreak going on.
People are getting hurt.

Yeah, and what's new?
Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I don't mean to minimise
the situation,

but there's nothing
you can do about it right now.

All right? Let me deal with it.
You go see your family.

Because trust me, don't let anything
take that away from you. Come on.

[SIGHS]

[CHATTERING AND LAUGHING]

You know, the Wedding's
kind of sudden, but it'll be great.

She's doing dishes
at her own shower.

Can you drag her back to the party

because I am out of ammo
and I'm about to do a toast.

Thank you.

TESS: Hey, how's it going?
- I was just cleaning up a bit.

And avoiding. Still.

Come on,
I know there's a lot going on,

but if you're not going to enjoy
the wedding stuff, why have it?

I would love to have
nothing on my mind

but naughty charades and choosing
between fondant and buttercream

- but that is not my life.
- You gotta turn it off sometimes.

Or you're gonna burn yourself out.
It's buttercream all the way.

I'm not really sure
why this is even a question.

[GLASS CLINKS]

Uh, attention. Attention, everyone.

Um, I'd like to propose a toast
to my sister Catherine

and her Prince Charming, Vincent.

If anyone deserves
a "happily ever after," it's them.

- Hear, hear!
WOMAN 1: Cheers.

WOMAN 2: Congrats.
WOMAN 3: Congrats, Cat.

Mm. And I'd like to thank
my Aunt Lily

and my Aunt Claire
for coming out from Albany.

I know, like them, we all wish
that my mom could be here today

to celebrate too, um,

but in our heads,
she will always be here.

And I know one thing for sure.

I know she'd be so happy
for you, Cat,

for finding the love of your life.

- For finding Vincent.
- No thanks to her.

- Cat.
- What?

What? You think Mom would be
happy for me, Heather?

Despite the fact that she all
but tried to destroy Vincent?

- Cat, don't do this--
- No! I am-

I am sick of hearing
about how wonderful Mom is,

how special Mom is,
how much good Mom did.

You don't know
what she did, Heather.

None of you do.
I can't-- I can't stand this anymore.

I won't.

Heather, Morn is the one that hurt
Vincent. Do you understand me?

Mom did that to him and he and I
have been paying for it ever since

so I will be damned
if I am gonna sit here

and write on paper lanterns and wish
she was here because I don't!

I am glad that she isn't here

because I will never forgive her
for what she did, ever!

TESS:
Cat...

[DOOR CLOSES]

Okay, if you're here to tell me what a
bad sister I am, you don't have to.

I already know.

Oh, okay.
I'll just go, then. Come on, Cat.

Give yourself a break for once.

You had a lot of pent-up emotions
and it just came out, that's all.

Yeah, at the worst possible time.

Yeah, well, weddings tend to bring out
the ugly truth in families, Cat.

That and Thanksgiving,
at least in my family.

- Heather must hate me.
- No, not at all.

She's rocked, for sure.

I mean, she had no idea about
what your mother really did

but I think she gets it.

And besides, she's your sister,
she has to forgive you.

Come on, Cat, you're a great sister.

You just have a lot on your plate.
I see it every day.

That's why I'm always telling you to
live your life, regardless of this crap.

And you know what? What happened
last night, how you felt, what you said,

that is life.

And now that it's out,
it's a good thing.

- Yeah, it doesn't feel so good.
- It will, with time.

You have enough secrets, Cat.

Being mad at your mom
shouldn't be one of them.

I still don't understand
how infecting over,

what, a dozen people,
with a parasite

that doesn't last very long
accelerates their experiments.

It doesn't. It may affect
more people faster

- but it's certainly less efficient.
- Yeah, then why do it?

Uh, the only way to find out is to
backirack the prom-beast.

Use the scent in one of the victims
and see who he caught the bug from.

There's enough in there
for me to identify it in a victim?

Extracted it from my own blood.

I mean, from when
I had the serum in me.

Good thing I'm a neurotic hoarder
and held onto all of my samples.

Wait. So you had prom-beast
in your blood too?

Yep. Guess that makes us
blood brothers, huh?

Yeah, man, I guess it does. Heh.

HANK:
Hey!

- Long time no see.
VINCENT: Hank, hey.

I didn't know you were
being discharged today.

No kidding. I haven't seen hide nor hair
of you since you ran out yesterday

for your big emergency.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that,
but it really was an emergency

and it still is,
so, uh, I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Hey, don't worry about it.
Never expected much anyway.

For my campaign.

I'm running for councilman

and, you know, I figured I could use
a little help from the family hero, but...

Wait, is that why you showed up?
To use Vincent for publicity?

Well, why not?

Well, it's not like I'm asking
to borrow money or anyihing.

[SCOFFS]

- This guy is something else.
VINCENT: Mm-hm.

You know what? Forget it.
I don't need you anyway.

Well, that makes two of us, Hank.

Listen, you know, J.T. called you
because I'm getting married

and figured a guy should have some
family around on his big day, right?

But I think we both know that
we may have the same last name

but that doesn't make us family.

So on that note, thanks for coming,
sorry about your leg, man,

best of luck,
but don't expect my vote, okay?

Let's go.

What he said.

So far, we got 4 out of 12 victims
getting coffee or bagels

at Schwartzmads Deli on
Spring Street in the last 24 hours.

Pretty sure 4 out of 12 people
in the whole neighbourhood did.

I got coffee there yesterday myself.

Okay, what about the local buses?

According to MetroCard,

these three were on the same bus
between 8:45 and 9:15.

No, J.T. said the delivery mechanism
needs to be more specific than that.

Otherwise, half the area
would be infected by now.

Okay, what are we missing?

There's gotta be some common
denominator, but where? What?

Hold on. A few of the vics contacted
Wheels Down Messenger Service.

You see any receipts?

Um, yes. One, two, four, six.

- They're from the same messenger.
- That's a 50 percent hit rate.

- That's pretty convincing.
- And insidious.

Pump an innocent messenger
full of contagious parasites,

send him out
with a full load of packages

and that would infect
every person he touches.

Could reach every corner
of the neighbourhood.

But even if this guy is patient zero,
how do we find him?

I mean, sure, you can get
a manifest from the company,

but these guys,
they set their own route.

We have no way of knowing
where his next delivery will be.

I'm going after him.
He's got proto-beast blood.

I can track him.

Are we getting close?

Look, maybe I should
take it from here, okay?

If he really is patient zero,
I don't want you getting infected.

- What about you?
- I'll be fine.

We're both prom-beasts,
I probably should be immune.

Probably? Vincent, you're gonna have
to do better than that to chase rne off.

This way. He's making a delivery
around the corner, let's go.

[SIREN WAILING]

Police, stay away from him!

Skip!

- Police, freeze!
VINCENT: Hey, hey, hey!

Listen to me, okay?
You've been infected.

Get into quarantine. Come with us.

You think I'm sick? I'm invincible.
So you're the ones they're looking for.

Who--?
All right, who are you talking about?

Smile.

- Who gave you the camera?
- Came with the juice.

Listen to me, man.
That juice is deadly, okay?

- It is messing with your head.
- Let us help you.

I don't need help, I just need to fly.

Hey, no, no! You will not make that.
Listen to me! You will not make that.

- Do not do it.
- They say I can.

No, no, no!

Whoo-hoo!

[TYRES SCREECHING
AND HORNS HONKING]

- Who would do that to somebody?
- I don't know.

MAN: He's not breathing.
WOMAN: Can you hear me?

But whoever it is,
they just made us.

WOMAN: He came from up there.
He's not breathing.

MAN:
We need an ambulance.

TESS: Sorry, bad news.
We checked the messenger's camera,

but the site it was linked to is gone

and the registered owner
is a post-office box.

Of course it is.

Which means whoever's behind these
experiments knows who we are

but we still don't know who they are.

But on the plus side,
we solved the puzzle

and stopped the epidemic,
so, yay, team.

But on the minus side,
they got what they wanted, right?

That whole outbreak was just staged
to try and flush us out,

see who was after them.

- Okay. So, what's our next move?
- Tahiti?

- I'll drink to that.
- Yeah.

What about you?
What are you thinking?

Honestly? I think we're screwed.
The experiments were bad enough

but now that there are targets
on our backs...

Hey, it'll be fine, okay?
We will fix this.

- I've gotta go talk to Heather.
- Okay.

- You sure you're okay to drive?
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Call you later.
- Mm-hm.

- She'll be okay.
- Yeah, I hope so.

Hey, V, about Hank...

If I'd had known he was such a loser,
I never would've--

Ah, don't worry about it.

- It all worked out just fine.
- Yeah? How?

Well, you know,
I've been feeling pretty guilty lately

about not reconnecting
with my family,

but like old cousin Hank said,
he can't replace my brothers.

So I finally worked out
who my real family are.

Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[SIGHS]

Catherine.
There's so much I need to tell you,

but I didn't, because
the people I've been working for,

they can't be trusted.

And I was afraid that if you knew,
they might hurt you or Heather too.

So I'm taping this because
if something happens to me

I just want you to know that I did...

What! tried to do, I did because
I hoped things would be better, safer.

For you, for everyone.

Someday you'll find out
what really happened

because that's just who you are.

You'll want answers, justice.

Just, please, be careful.

I don't want you to have to go through
what I'm going through.

I love you so much.

You mean everything to me.

I want to make amends
for my mistakes,

but if I can't,

[SOBBING]

Take care of your sister.
Take care of yourself.

Find love, Catherine.

Happiness.

Don't just try to save the world.

[PHONE RINGING ON VIDEO]

Hello?

Stay where you are, Catherine.
I'll, uh, bring the jumper cables.

Do you have a sweater with you?

Keep the doors locked
till I get there.

[SOBBING]

Cat.

- I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry too.

[DOOR OPENS]

Got your message.

- You okay?
- I am now.

What's going on?

I don't know, I've been so angry
at my mother for so long

it's strange not being
angry at her anymore.

Okay. So, what's changed?

I guess I got answers.
I understand now.

And I miss her.

Uh...

It is a lot easier holding onto
being angry than being sad.

I suppose all this wedding talk
brought it up.

- That's a good thing, right?
- Yeah, it is.

I just wish she was here to see this.

To see us.

[VINCENT SIGHS]

So are you ready to do this?

Pick a place, get married?
No more obstacles.

[GLASS BREAKS]

Come on! Go!
