Beauty and the Beast (1987–1990): Season 3, Episode 3 - Nevermore - full transcript
In this city of night,
in this city of millions,
there are countless stories.
This is one
of two lovers
who shared a bond
that changed their lives
forever.
It is my story.
How compassion opened my heart
to a world where goodness
and truth were stronger
than hate or fear.
Then... one day,
she was taken from me
by the forces of evil
she had battled
so bravely.
And now, alone with her memory,
yet armed with her courage,
I have sworn to fight
those who would kill
or harm or destroy
in the hope that one day
I will find
what all men seek to find--
my destiny.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Shh.
Vincent.
Elliot Burch?
He is my only recourse.
Look here, Vincent.
You want to
find your son.
And I can understand that,
but at what risk to yourself?
What risk to this world?
The risk is
only to myself.
No, that's not true.
Elliot Burch has had
a thousand chances
to betray our world.
Even so, how can you
possibly trust him in this?
The child is all that is left
of Catherine in this world.
You have nothing of Catherine
left inside you?
Of course I have.
Then ask her
to make the right choice.
And think of those
who love you now.
I did not come here
for your counsel.
Believe me, Vincent,
I support your purpose.
But you cannot give
me your blessing.
I think the child
may be lost to us.
The child is my son.
"...Though they go mad,
they shall be sane;
"though they sink through
the sea, they shall rise again;
"though lovers be lost,
love shall not;
"And death shall have
no dominion."
Death shall
have no dominion.
Well, then, issue more
partnership shares.
No good, Elliot.
The share values are
low enough as it is.
You can't risk
any more dilution.
Gentlemen...
Ladies...
There are 22 buildings in this
city with my name on them.
You telling me now that Elliot
Burch is a bad credit risk?
Well, no, but...
people are worried.
Burch Properties Group is
at a bit of a low ebb right now.
Elliott is-is, is there
something you're not telling us?
Because if you're
devaluing shares
for a buy-back...
What are you
talking about?
Burch Properties is worth
what it was always worth.
No. No, that's not true.
The settlement
on the casino fire
will probably exceed
liability coverage
by a figure in the high
tens of millions.
And taking everything
into account,
the liquidation value today
of Burch Properties
is about 60%
of what it was six months ago.
An-And that's not counting
the cash drain
with the DA's restraining order
on the Battery
project.
I thought you said we
could finesse Moreno?
Well, it's not
just Moreno.
It's, uh, coming
from everywhere.
Selling of group shares
is across the board.
Overseas banks,
pension funds-- you name it.
Elliot, there can't be
a single hand behind this.
No one man has
that kind of power.
I wouldn't be so sure
about that, gentlemen.
What are you
saying, Cleon?
I'm simply saying there
is someone out there,
and he's taking you apart
piece by piece.
Wh-Where do you
hear this, Mr. Manning?
On the street corner?
I hear it from people
like you, Mr. Walker.
People who have
nice jobs in banks.
Nice families
in the suburbs.
People so scared,
they hang up the phone
before we get
out the question.
I think you
boys should work
with Cleon on this thing.
Now, there is
a connection out there.
Please go and find it.
Evening, Arthur.
Elliot Burch.
Who the hell are you?
No one to fear.
Don't...
Please.
How do you know me?
We shared something--
a friend-- very dear
to us both.
Who?
Catherine.
My name is Vincent.
Vincent.
You know about me
from what she told you?
Yes.
What do you want
from me, Vincent?
I need your help.
Why should I help you?
I do not do this
for myself.
I saw the man who killed her.
You what?
I was there...
with her at the end.
But I was too late.
Who is this man?
Do you know him?
No.
But his face is burning
inside my mind.
I know where he kept her.
Will you help me?
Why would I help you?
Because you loved her, too.
Specialized in psych...
psych... mental disorders.
Brilliant mind.
Yeah, coming.
Elliot Burch at my doorstep.
I'm speechless.
Hello, Joe.
Let me guess--
you bought my building,
and you're here for the rent.
You think I could come in?
It's about Cathy.
She's dead, Elliot.
Why don't you stop chasing her?
Why don't you?
Look, what do you want?
I got a lead on her killer.
Come on in.
All I'm hearing are complaints
about the D.A.'s office.
And I don't even
work there now.
That's right,
You ever ask yourself why?
I never had to.
My boss made it real clear--
I was "acting against orders."
You think he was right?
Maybe.
Why, what's your point?
Cathy worked there, too.
I mean, doesn't the D.A.
take care of their own?
What are you driving at?
Six months ago when Cathy
disappeared,
everybody got interested
and started looking into it.
Two people looked harder
than the rest.
And after awhile, it started
looking hopeless.
People lost interest,
except you and me.
We got warned off.
We didn't pay attention
to the warnings.
And then, the warnings
started to hurt.
Come on, you're giving me
coincidences
like they prove something.
They're not
coincidences, Joe.
It's all coming
from the same man.
Who?
Moreno?
The man Moreno works for.
Not a chance.
You can't know that.
I'll tell you what I know.
I know Moreno.
Whoever
killed Cathy
has a direct line
into your office.
To somebody powerful enough
to suspend you,
and to launch a witch hunt
against me.
Well, maybe it's
this guy Vincent
nobody seems to
be able to find.
It's not him.
How do you know?
I know.
Then I don't know.
Maybe it's nobody.
Let me ask
you something.
How much is Moreno costing you
holding up
your building permits?
That's not it, Joe.
You know what else I don't like
about this picture, Burch?
Time after time, I saw you put
Cathy on the line
when there was something
in it for you.
And now you're back here
doing the same
thing to me.
I'll tell you something.
You got no idea
how wrong you are!
I think it's time
for you to leave.
No, Joe, Joe, listen.
I'd at least like you to promise
me that you'll look into it.
I'm not promising
you anything.
Have a nice day.
You ask Moreno what's
at 1900 Sixth Avenue.
Vincent, did you
see Elliot Burch?
Yes.
Is he going to help you?
He has agreed to help.
So does this mean
you're going to risk
seeing him again?
Yes, I will risk
seeing him.
I would risk everything.
Would you do
any less for me?
"Vincent."
The threshold below.
Well, some of the biggest
sellers
have ties
to a certain investment bank
in Singapore.
And?
And we're fairly certain
they're backed
by South American
drug interests.
Wait. Any of these
South American drug interests
have connections in New York?
Possibly, but there's
no way of knowing for certain.
What about a connection
to the D.A.'s office?
Elliot.
John Moreno has a sterling
reputation in this town.
I wouldn't even
want to ask.
Gentlemen, you've
done wonderful work.
I want to thank you.
I'll be in touch.
Okay, so tell me.
I can't prove anything, Elliot.
And I don't want to try.
Would you just say it?
Definitely Moreno.
Yeah, yeah, but who's
pulling his strings?
No one knows.
What about the address
I gave you?
If he lived there,
he hid himself very well.
Mazes of holding companies,
third-party leasebacks.
It'll take months to trace.
The man doesn't want you
to know who he is.
Well, that's too damn bad,
'cause I'm going to find him.
Why?
Why?
Elliot, you got
what you wanted.
You found out you weren't
imagining things.
Somebody is after you.
Why don't the hell you back off?
You think you can
win a game like this?
This man is dangerous.
Well, there are people who would
say that about me.
You ever kill a man?
You ever kill a man
just to make a point?
Of course not.
You ever kill 200 men
just to make a point?
Casino fire.
That's the difference
between you.
That's why you can't win.
I can have the
law on my side.
I can get him put away.
It's just a matter
of finding
the right stuff,
and we can do it, Cleon.
I know we can.
Not with me, Elliot.
What?
I'm out of it.
No, no, no. Cleon.
I can't do this without you.
Sorry.
I'll double your retainer.
I'll give you a bonus-- you get
$100,000 when we find the man.
I've lost two of my field men.
I've got a family.
Well, you do look like
you got your mind made up.
You be careful.
Be very, very careful.
I'm ready, Pierson.
Hey, boss,
burning the midnight oil?
Hey. Well, you know, Joe,
it never stops
coming down around here.
Wait a minute.
Time fly by that fast?
Your two months
up already?
No.
I just felt like
dropping by for a visit.
You tell me you
actually miss this place,
I'm gonna give you
another two months.
Hey, I'm guilty. What can I say?
Soap operas got
nothing on this circus.
Relax, Joe.
Enjoy your
vacation.
So...
What's this new mess
Elliot Burch stepped in?
Ah, this one's no fun, Joe.
You know I don't live
to poke sticks at rich guys,
I don't care what
the papers may say.
No, I know.
Fact is, the guy is dirty.
Well, he keeps saying
he can't defend himself
because all of the sources
are confidential.
Well, no one likes
to stand in the light
when they're pointing a finger
at a guy like Burch.
You think he's dangerous?
Anybody with that kind of power
is dangerous, Joe.
Believe me.
Why the interest?
I don't know. A guy like that...
spends most of his time
on the front page.
After a while, he seems
bigger than life.
John, the other day I was
cleaning out some old files,
and I found something
on the Chandler case
that I never got
a chance to look into.
Joe.
You got to let this thing rest.
No, I know, I know.
I just wanted to run it by you
to see if maybe it rings a bell.
What is it?
An address someone gave me.
1900 Sixth Avenue.
You know, that tower
right off of 53rd Street.
Yeah, I know where it is.
But, uh...
doesn't do anything
for me, Joe. I'm sorry.
Think it'd be worth
checking the tenants?
My tip came from a solid source.
Well, I could put
some people on it.
Well, I got nothing else to do.
Why don't I just go down...?
Joe.
You're still on suspension.
Yeah, right.
I'll see you later.
Stay with the car.
Mr. Burch?
Uh-huh?
Are you sure?
Ten minutes.
Vincent.
Vincent!
I'm here.
Come no further.
You're alone?
Tell me what you have found.
What I've found...
was a connection to the District
Attorney of Manhattan.
What is it, Elliot?
This man that you recognized,
the man you saw
in the helicopter.
If he's powerful enough to
control the district attorney...
He killed 213 people
in a hotel fire--
my hotel!
And tonight he killed a
man who worked for me.
A friend.
And he left his
corpse as a warning.
What kind of man is this?
The way is dangerous, Elliot.
You are not bound to continue.
Vincent,
it's not dangerous,
it's suicide.
There is...
something more you should know.
There is a child.
This... man
is raising
Catherine's child.
It's your child.
The child is hers, Elliot.
Go on.
Look-- grasp it.
Don't be afraid.
The day will come.
You'll know the truth.
When the ring is on your finger,
that day, your life
will truly begin.
Listen... to the shadows.
Nothing is impossible.
The truths are so simple.
Their fear
will build your castles.
Their greed
will make them slaves.
Look, when they close
their eyes.
Push forward whenever
they pull back.
Eat the meals
they dare not taste.
The power will come.
So easy.
Century after century,
the truths never change.
Hmm.
Some day.
The threshold below.
Okay, below.
The threshold below.
What's at 1900
Sixth Avenue?
You talked to Moreno?
I did.
And?
Why don't you tell me
what 1900 Sixth Avenue is?
It's where Cathy died.
Jesus.
How do you know?
I can't tell you.
Why not? What, are
you protecting someone?
How do you know so much?
It doesn't matter how I know.
The hell it doesn't!
Moreno's dirty, Joe!
We both know that!
What's important is that
he may be the only link we have
to whoever killed Cathy.
I don't believe
this is happening.
I'm so sorry.
What should we do now, Vincent?
Tell Mouse we must seal
this section of the tunnels.
Forever?
Yes.
Forever.
Yeah, but you see,
if we let this guy cop
to a misdemeanor,
there won't be any heat
on him to testify.
We cannot take
the easy win.
There's a
principle here.
Hey, Joe.
Hello, John.
Charlie, let's
pick this up later.
Everything all right?
I remember when you used
to give me those lectures.
You remember wrong.
You used to lecture
me all the time.
I never met anybody
with a bigger
thirst for justice.
Aw, these new guys,
they don't know.
Today, it's every
man for himself.
Is that
the way you feel?
That's the way it is.
No, I mean for you.
Is that the way you feel?
What's on your mind, Joe?
I heard some things.
Things I didn't
want to hear.
What things?
About the ones who killed Cathy.
You can't let that go, can you?
About someone bought
and paid for in this office.
Deny it for me, please.
I'm going to let you
apologize for that,
and then I'm going
to let you leave!
Do you think I'd come here
if I wasn't sure?
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Cathy Chandler is dead,
and her blood is all over you.
Better get out of here, Joe.
What are you doing here?
This office stands
for something!
Get out of here!
How many times
have you told me
the only difference between us
and the people we put away
is what's here?
"It's like a religion, Joe."
"It's like a faith, Joe!
It has to be."
I also remember telling you
something about loyalty!
Where's your loyalty?
Where should it be, John?
With you or the law?
I didn't think
there was a difference.
Now, I know you didn't kill her.
Help me get the one who did.
Who told you this?
It was Burch,
wasn't it?
Burch got to you.
No, John.
The truth got to me.
Just the truth.
Burch knows the address.
This is not a profitable
situation, Mr. Moreno.
Too many liabilities.
I can handle it.
Can you handle your assistant?
Maxwell?
He's no threat.
Trust me.
I would like to trust you.
I can take care of this.
Then do it.
Ten minutes.
Right.
Yeah. Thanks.
We on?
Vincent!
Hello, Mr. Burch.
Moreno.
You must be crazy, Burch.
What could be worth all this?
You wouldn't understand.
Probably not.
Cates!
Vincent.
in this city of millions,
there are countless stories.
This is one

I think the child
may be lost to us.
The child is my son.
"...Though they go mad,
they shall be sane;

"though lovers be lost,
love shall not;
"And death shall have

Death shall
have no dominion.
Well, then, issue more
partnership shares.
No good, Elliot.
The share values are

No, Joe, Joe, listen.
I'd at least like you to promise

I'm not promising

Have a nice day.
You ask Moreno what's
at 1900 Sixth Avenue.
Vincent, did you

Yes.
Is he going to help you?
He has agreed to help.
So does this mean

You think he's dangerous?
Anybody with that kind of power
is dangerous, Joe.
Believe me.
Why the interest?
I don't know. A guy like that...
spends most of his time
on the front page.
After a while, he seems
bigger than life.
John, the other day I was
cleaning out some old files,
and I found something
on the Chandler case
that I never got
a chance to look into.
Joe.
You got to let this thing rest.
No, I know, I know.
I just wanted to run it by you
to see if maybe it rings a bell.
What is it?
An address someone gave me.
1900 Sixth Avenue.
You know, that tower
right off of 53rd Street.
Yeah, I know where it is.
But, uh...
doesn't do anything
for me, Joe. I'm sorry.
Think it'd be worth
checking the tenants?
My tip came from a solid source.
Well, I could put
some people on it.
Well, I got nothing else to do.
Why don't I just go down...?
Joe.
You're still on suspension.
Yeah, right.
I'll see you later.
Stay with the car.
Mr. Burch?
Uh-huh?
Are you sure?
Ten minutes.
Vincent.
Vincent!
I'm here.
Come no further.
You're alone?
Tell me what you have found.
What I've found...
was a connection to the District
Attorney of Manhattan.
What is it, Elliot?
This man that you recognized,
the man you saw
in the helicopter.
If he's powerful enough to
control the district attorney...
He killed 213 people
in a hotel fire--
my hotel!
And tonight he killed a
man who worked for me.
A friend.
And he left his
corpse as a warning.
What kind of man is this?
The way is dangerous, Elliot.
You are not bound to continue.
Vincent,
it's not dangerous,
it's suicide.
There is...
something more you should know.
There is a child.
This... man
is raising
Catherine's child.
It's your child.
The child is hers, Elliot.
Go on.
Look-- grasp it.
Don't be afraid.
The day will come.
You'll know the truth.
When the ring is on your finger,
that day, your life
will truly begin.
Listen... to the shadows.
Nothing is impossible.
The truths are so simple.
Their fear
will build your castles.
Their greed
will make them slaves.
Look, when they close
their eyes.
Push forward whenever
they pull back.
Eat the meals
they dare not taste.
The power will come.
So easy.
Century after century,
the truths never change.
Hmm.
Some day.
The threshold below.
Okay, below.
The threshold below.
What's at 1900
Sixth Avenue?
You talked to Moreno?
I did.
And?
Why don't you tell me
what 1900 Sixth Avenue is?
It's where Cathy died.
Jesus.
How do you know?
I can't tell you.
Why not? What, are
you protecting someone?
How do you know so much?
It doesn't matter how I know.
The hell it doesn't!
Moreno's dirty, Joe!
We both know that!
What's important is that
he may be the only link we have
to whoever killed Cathy.
I don't believe
this is happening.
I'm so sorry.
What should we do now, Vincent?
Tell Mouse we must seal
this section of the tunnels.
Forever?
Yes.
Forever.
Yeah, but you see,
if we let this guy cop
to a misdemeanor,
there won't be any heat
on him to testify.
We cannot take
the easy win.
There's a
principle here.
Hey, Joe.
Hello, John.
Charlie, let's
pick this up later.
Everything all right?
I remember when you used
to give me those lectures.
You remember wrong.
You used to lecture
me all the time.
I never met anybody
with a bigger
thirst for justice.
Aw, these new guys,
they don't know.
Today, it's every
man for himself.
Is that
the way you feel?
That's the way it is.
No, I mean for you.
Is that the way you feel?
What's on your mind, Joe?
I heard some things.
Things I didn't
want to hear.
What things?
About the ones who killed Cathy.
You can't let that go, can you?
About someone bought
and paid for in this office.
Deny it for me, please.
I'm going to let you
apologize for that,
and then I'm going
to let you leave!
Do you think I'd come here
if I wasn't sure?
You don't know
what you're talking about.
Cathy Chandler is dead,
and her blood is all over you.
Better get out of here, Joe.
What are you doing here?
This office stands
for something!
Get out of here!
How many times
have you told me
the only difference between us
and the people we put away
is what's here?
"It's like a religion, Joe."
"It's like a faith, Joe!
It has to be."
I also remember telling you
something about loyalty!
Where's your loyalty?
Where should it be, John?
With you or the law?
I didn't think
there was a difference.
Now, I know you didn't kill her.
Help me get the one who did.
Who told you this?
It was Burch,
wasn't it?
Burch got to you.
No, John.
The truth got to me.
Just the truth.
Burch knows the address.
This is not a profitable
situation, Mr. Moreno.
Too many liabilities.
I can handle it.
Can you handle your assistant?
Maxwell?
He's no threat.
Trust me.
I would like to trust you.
I can take care of this.
Then do it.
Ten minutes.
Right.
Yeah. Thanks.
We on?
Vincent!
Hello, Mr. Burch.
Moreno.
You must be crazy, Burch.
What could be worth all this?
You wouldn't understand.
Probably not.
Cates!
Vincent.
