Beauty and the Beast (1987–1990): Season 3, Episode 7 - The Chimes at Midnight - 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.
In the hours before dawn,
the empty streets belong to me.
But there is nowhere to go.
The lights have gone off
in Elliot's tower.
A cold wind blows across the
rooftop where Catherine died.
Last night...
I found myself drawn
to her terrace once again.
There were strangers inside--
a family--
and their happiness...
cut me like a knife.
They do not know.
None of them know.
Outside their lights,
the darkness presses close.
Why can't they feel it?
The darkness weighs so heavily.
A shadow has fallen
across my soul.
So much rage.
Where is the hope?
Rolley.
We want you to stay.
The music that you
bring to us
is very beautiful, but...
you... are the one
that we love.
It's done.
Just finish up.
How is he, Father?
He's fortunate.
The first bullet
passed clean through him.
Had it been a few
inches lower...
He's going to have
a hard time ahead.
He needs all his strength,
courage...
He's going to need help.
He has his friends
around him now.
People who love him.
Vincent, why don't you
come home?
Rolley is not the only one
that needs you.
I can't, Father.
The children ask
about you every day.
They miss you.
The children have you...
and Mary and all the others,
but Catherine's child,
my son...
I know.
Look, why don't you just
stay for the night, hmm,
until Rolley wakes up?
Oh...
Mm....
Oh... ah.
Hey. Hey, Alex,
how are you?
Say hi
to Aunt Diana, honey.
No.
Ooh.
Sorry, I forgot
your birthday.
How old are you
now, hmm?
Four.
Four. Hmm.
It's a tough age.
The whole world revolves
around you.
I've got a
present for you.
Aren't you going
to say thank you?
Oh...
Oh...
God, she's beautiful.
But very independent.
Everyone says
she reminds them of you.
Hmm.
You're safe now, Rolley.
Safe with friends.
Do you remember what happened?
I was running.
I got shot.
Guy at the...
at the liquor store.
I was ripping
him off.
He'll rest for a while now.
What is it, Father?
He's going to recover,
isn't he?
From the gunshot
wound, yes.
But you've seen
his arms, Vincent.
Rolley is a heroin addict,
you knew that.
His habit has built up
a tolerance to morphine.
I might have to give him
as much as five times the dosage
I would give anyone else
just to numb
the pain.
You don't have it?
Well, I can only
send word to Peter,
but there's only so much
he can do, and you see,
even if we do get the drugs,
we're walking a very
thin line here.
Too much morphine,
we risk an overdose.
Too little and...
Then you're saying that
Rolley might die?
Well, if I ration the morphine
and monitor it day and night,
I can keep him
out of danger.
But I can't keep him
out of pain.
Views like this
are the one thing
I really miss from the city.
So, um... tell me what's
happening with Mark.
I don't know.
We haven't really
had much time for
each other lately.
You mean you haven't
had much time for him.
No. The work...
It's not really
the work.
Yeah...
I'm sorry.
I like Mark.
Yeah, me, too.
Did anything ever happen to you
that was so....
so different, so unusual
that it just,
it changed everything?
I don't know.
I mean everything.
The way the faces looked
when you passed them by
on the street.
The way you felt when
you woke up in the morning.
The things you
dreamt about at night.
This is about a man,
isn't it?
I don't know.
Maybe someday I'll be able
to talk about it.
Try and lie still, Rolley.
Your wounds need
time to heal.
It hurts, Vincent.
I feel those holes in me...
burning like fire inside.
Father's given you
an injection.
Not enough, Vincent.
Didn't do nothing.
Help me, Vincent.
I'm here.
I won't leave you.
This guy on Fourth...
the Bowery.
Name's Tony.
He's got what
I need, Vincent.
You don't want this, Rolley.
You don't need it.
Vincent, please.
It hurts so bad.
Rolley, those drugs
are poison.
They're what brought you here.
Only...
...this once.
Let me go for Father.
Vincent, I swear...
the last time.
I want...
I want to kick it...
get clean.
I will. I promise.
I ain't gonna
make it otherwise.
Please. I am begging you.
I need a friend.
Come on. Come on.
Not bad.
Not good either.
Get over here.
Do better next time,
or maybe I do better next time.
And you wouldn't like that.
Get out of here.
Tony.
Could be.
Who wants to know?
A friend of Rolley's.
He's in terrible pain.
Ain't that too bad.
Maybe I should send flowers.
Rolley thinks you can help him.
Help him?
Yeah, I'll help him.
I'll help bury him, hmm?
You already did that.
Geez, let go of me, man!
Come on, I got money.
I'll give you money.
I don't want your money.
And keep your poison.
Then what do you want?
I want it to stop.
Who the hell are you?
Your nightmare.
No!
No!
The next time I see
you here...
I'll kill you.
Okay Jerry, okay.
You ain't gonna
believe this, man.
So don't tell me.
This guy said he was
going to kill me!
Was he in the middle
of his dinner?
It wasn't human, man.
He had a face
like some animal.
Cut it, Tony.
Just tell me straight--
what'd you lose?
Geez, not in here.
What the hell's wrong with you?
I didn't lose nothing, Jerry.
I had a good night,
until this crazy comes along.
He had claws, man.
Claws, sure.
Jerry,
I'm telling you the truth.
He almost ripped my arm off.
Look.
How the hell
did that happen?
I told you,
I'm not going back there, Jerry.
No way.
I gotta talk to the man.
You wait right here,
you got that?
You'd damn well better
be here when I get back.
You understand?
Yeah, sure, Jerry.
We got a problem.
Where's Horner?
Upstairs.
HORNER
Sounds to me like your man Tony
has been sampling
the merchandise.
I'm telling you, Horner,
he's not the type.
Jerry, they're all the type.
But I know this kid.
I never seen him so scared.
Oh, yes,
by something with claws.
The big bad wolf.
You didn't see his arm.
His... his wrist
was all ripped up...
What's your point, Jerry?
Something happened
out there tonight.
And we'd damn well better
find out what.
All right.
I'll take care of it.
It's going to be
all right, Rolley.
It's going to be all right.
One incident by itself
means nothing, but...
if Jerry is right,
it could mean
the start of something larger.
We can't be too careful.
Move away.
Now.
Hold on a second.
We got some kind of problem.
Please...
stay away.
Please don't.
Please... please
don't hurt me, please.
No.
No... no...
Please...
No... no! Please!
Hey, Joe! Joe,
I got something here.
Guy got crisped pretty good,
so you figure
the fire did him, right?
But then there's these
weird cuts on the abdomen.
Five parallel gashes,
like he got clawed or something.
Harry, I want autopsies on all
these guys right away, okay?
Now.
Sure. Sure.
Come on, just stay
behind the line.
We're sending them
over to County...
Rolley.
Rolley?
Rolley!
Rolley!
Rolley, are
you in here?
Rolley?
Please, Rolley, wait.
Please.
You shouldn't be
out of bed, you know.
It's far too early.
You were leaving,
weren't you?
You know, one of our helpers
have found some more
morphine for you.
It'll be here soon.
How soon?
Tomorrow, we hope...
Now, please be patient, Rolley.
If you go above, you'll
start the habit again.
You can't survive much more.
You think I care?
Don't you want to live?
You know, we all carry pain
around inside of us.
Anger, sadness...
guilt.
Escape is not the answer.
Escape takes us
where we can't feel anymore...
where pain and pleasure
are gone.
I remember a little boy...
whose life was
so full of promise.
That was a long time ago.
He's dead.
Oh, no. No!
He's here.
Do you remember
what you used to dream?
No.
Well, you told me once.
You said you wanted to be good.
Good at playing.
Mm. Oh, you were
better than that.
You were wonderful
at playing.
You brought great joy
to all of us.
And you could again.
All you need is the desire...
and the courage to feel it.
Stay with us,
Rolley.
Stay with us and try.
I can't.
Please, Rolley.
Please! Rolley.
Yeah?
Diane, it's Joe.
I got to talk to you.
You're up early.
I've been up
all night.
We had a big fire
in a drug warehouse.
We got nine bodies
on our hands.
Check out this
autopsy report.
Coroner says at least two
of our fatalities
were already dead by the time
the fire got to them.
Diana, they died of multiple
puncture wounds.
Deep slashes, the same
as Moreno and Cates.
I don't see the
connection, Joe.
What the hell do you mean,
you don't see it?
You're the one that
rubbed my nose in it.
I think we both know
the guy that did this.
And you think
it's Vincent.
He was Cathy's protector, right?
So she dies, he goes crazy,
goes on a killing spree.
And I'll lay odds Burch
has the same wounds
if we ever find his body.
There's a possibility here
we have not been looking at.
What?
There is a possibility
that Vincent never existed.
What are you saying,
Cathy made him up?
That she inscribed
those books herself?
Just think about it.
Nobody's ever seen him.
Not you, not her
best friends, nobody.
All right, so maybe it was some
kind of a secret affair.
Cathy Chandler was viciously
slashed two years ago,
then she disappeared
for ten days,
and then after that
she remade her life;
new friends, new job,
new everything.
The only thing
that was missing
was the perfect man.
No.
Aw, Joe, come on.
You know about attack victims.
They have to find a new way
to look at things
or else they can't go on.
Okay, maybe, but that still
doesn't explain this
or Burch or Moreno
or any of it.
Joe, can you just consider
the possibility?
Okay, I'll consider it...
at least until we can get
something out of the survivor.
Yeah, that's right, Diana.
There was a survivor.
And I'll be real interested
to see what he has to say
And I'll tell you
something else.
Cathy Chandler was the sanest
person I ever knew.
I'm sorry, Cathy.
Respiratory Therapy,
Respiratory Therapy.
Intensive Care Unit,
Ward Four West, extension five.
Lew Horner?
I'm Diana Bennett.
I'm with the police
department.
Nothing... to say.
How did the fire start?
Want...
my lawyer.
You don't need a lawyer, Lew.
I'm not interested
in a case against you.
Who started the fire?
Accident.
Those people didn't
die in a fire, Lew.
The coroner found deep
lacerations and slashes.
I know what you saw.
He was...
Oh, God.
I saw...
I saw what he did.
Did he do this to you?
No.
He never...
touched me.
It started... with Tony.
Tony?
The... Bowery.
Did you tell Gabriel?
Who's Gabriel?
Last night...
All that is necessary
for evil to triumph
is for good men to do nothing.
But nothing we can do
is enough.
Last night, I let rage
carry me into darkness.
But tonight, up in that city,
children will still sell poison
to other children.
Where is the hope?
My child...
They say that only a man
who's been burned
truly understands
what hell will be like.
You think that's true, Lewis?
You must be in terrible pain.
A man shouldn't have
to suffer like that.
You disappointed me,
Lewis, deeply.
I gave you my trust,
and you let me down.
You don't understand, do you?
The building is just
bricks and mortar.
The men are even less.
The merchandise, well,
we'll just have to raise
our prices, won't we?
But courage...
loyalty...
those things can't be replaced.
He...
he wasn't...
Human?
Of course not.
Y-Y-Y-You didn't see him.
I've seen him, Lewis.
I've seen him a thousand times.
I know him.
What... what is he?
My enemy.
My brother.
Well, at least have the courage
to do it yourself.
Yeah?
It's Joe.
What were you doing
in Lew Horner's hospital room?
I asked him some questions.
That's my job.
Who authorized you to see him?
Nobody authorized me
to see him.
What, somebody has
to authorize me?
He's dead.
I don't think
I have to tell you
how bad this looks, Diana.
You visit
the only witness we have
in a massive narcotics case,
and an hour later he's dead.
How did they find him?
What are you saying?
I'm only saying
what other people
are going to be saying.
And what the hell is that?
You're protecting someone.
Now I want everything
you have on Vincent, right now.
The letters, the books,
anything you know
about those tunnels.
Joe, why can't you just
trust me?
I did trust you.
Like I trusted John Moreno.
I'll send somebody by
for your files.
You're wasting your time.
At least I'll be
the one wasting it.
I want this guy, Diana.
And I'm going to get him
with or without you.
So come on, give me
something to work with.
Give me a reason
to believe in you.
Anything.
You know, when I got
you on this case,
I thought I was doing the most
I could for Cathy Chandler.
I guess I was wrong.
Where's Rolley?
He's gone.
I did my best
to stop him, but...
I fear he may
have gone back up above.
There's nothing for him
up there but death.
You know that.
So does Rolley.
And if you do find him,
what are you going to tell him
that he doesn't already know?
Am I meant to stand aside while
he's killing himself?
If that is a choice
that he's made.
You can't be with him every
moment, Vincent.
I am with him every moment.
When he destroys himself
he destroys a part of me.
This is what it is
to be a father.
Your son...
have you found anything?
Only...
a name written on the wind.
A memory of a face.
A ring... nothing.
So this isn't really
about Rolley?
This is about all
the lost children.
Are you Tony?
I try not to be.
Heard you got into some nasty
trouble last night,
real dissatisfied customer.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Oh, I think you do.
I got nothing
to say to you, lady.
Why don't you sit down, Tony?
Ow!
All right, all right.
Who did this to you?
Look, Tony,
I don't want to bust you.
I just want to know
where it happened.
Coffee?
Coffee.
That's it.
Thanks.
Vincent, don't.
How did you know?
I know, it's what I do.
Joe Maxwell came by
to see me this morning.
He knows what happened
last night.
He's looking for you.
He won't find me.
I found you.
There are no safe places
for anyone.
The place you destroyed
belonged to Gabriel.
It was his.
I can't prove it,
but I know it's true.
Gabriel.
Vincent, why?
If you didn't know,
why did you do it?
I had a friend.
His name is Rolley.
I did it for him.
And did it help him?
Is he better now?
Vincent, I've been there, too,
and this is not the way.
Then where is the way?
What would you have me do?
He has my son
and I have nothing
but these.
Those can't help you
find your son.
They can make Gabriel bleed...
night after night,
until...
Until you kill him
or he kills you.
By then it won't matter
who wins, Vincent.
What kind of father do you want
your son to have?
You continue alone in this,
you are going
to lose everything.
Where is the hope, Diana?
Where is the hope?
"This is all I have
to point me to Gabriel.
"It may be my son's only hope.
"I give it to you
with my trust.
Vincent."

Please.
You shouldn't be
out of bed, you know.
It's far too early.
You were leaving,
weren't you?
You know, one of our helpers
have found some more
morphine for you.
It'll be here soon.
How soon?
Tomorrow, we hope...
Now, please be patient, Rolley.
If you go above, you'll
start the habit again.
You can't survive much more.
You think I care?
Don't you want to live?
You know, we all carry pain
around inside of us.
Anger, sadness...
guilt.
Escape is not the answer.
Escape takes us
where we can't feel anymore...
where pain and pleasure
are gone.
I remember a little boy...
whose life was
so full of promise.
That was a long time ago.
He's dead.
Oh, no. No!
He's here.
Do you remember
what you used to dream?
No.
Well, you told me once.
You said you wanted to be good.
Good at playing.
Mm. Oh, you were
better than that.
You were wonderful
at playing.
You brought great joy
to all of us.
And you could again.
All you need is the desire...
and the courage to feel it.
Stay with us,
Rolley.
Stay with us and try.
I can't.
Please, Rolley.
Please! Rolley.
Yeah?
Diane, it's Joe.
I got to talk to you.
You're up early.
I've been up
all night.
We had a big fire
in a drug warehouse.
We got nine bodies
on our hands.
Check out this
autopsy report.
Coroner says at least two
of our fatalities
were already dead by the time
the fire got to them.
Diana, they died of multiple
puncture wounds.
Deep slashes, the same
as Moreno and Cates.
I don't see the
connection, Joe.
What the hell do you mean,
you don't see it?
You're the one that
rubbed my nose in it.
I think we both know
the guy that did this.
And you think
it's Vincent.
He was Cathy's protector, right?
So she dies, he goes crazy,
goes on a killing spree.
And I'll lay odds Burch
has the same wounds
if we ever find his body.
There's a possibility here
we have not been looking at.
What?
There is a possibility
that Vincent never existed.
What are you saying,
Cathy made him up?
That she inscribed
those books herself?
Just think about it.
Nobody's ever seen him.
Not you, not her
best friends, nobody.
All right, so maybe it was some
kind of a secret affair.
Cathy Chandler was viciously
slashed two years ago,
then she disappeared
for ten days,
and then after that
she remade her life;
new friends, new job,
new everything.
The only thing
that was missing
was the perfect man.
No.
Aw, Joe, come on.
You know about attack victims.
They have to find a new way
to look at things
or else they can't go on.
Okay, maybe, but that still
doesn't explain this
or Burch or Moreno
or any of it.
Joe, can you just consider
the possibility?
Okay, I'll consider it...
at least until we can get
something out of the survivor.
Yeah, that's right, Diana.
There was a survivor.
And I'll be real interested
to see what he has to say
And I'll tell you
something else.
Cathy Chandler was the sanest
person I ever knew.
I'm sorry, Cathy.
Respiratory Therapy,
Respiratory Therapy.
Intensive Care Unit,
Ward Four West, extension five.
Lew Horner?
I'm Diana Bennett.
I'm with the police
department.
Nothing... to say.
How did the fire start?
Want...
my lawyer.
You don't need a lawyer, Lew.
I'm not interested
in a case against you.
Who started the fire?
Accident.
Those people didn't
die in a fire, Lew.
The coroner found deep
lacerations and slashes.
I know what you saw.
He was...
Oh, God.
I saw...
I saw what he did.
Did he do this to you?
No.
He never...
touched me.
It started... with Tony.
Tony?
The... Bowery.
Did you tell Gabriel?
Who's Gabriel?
Last night...
All that is necessary
for evil to triumph
is for good men to do nothing.
But nothing we can do
is enough.
Last night, I let rage
carry me into darkness.
But tonight, up in that city,
children will still sell poison
to other children.
Where is the hope?
My child...
They say that only a man
who's been burned
truly understands
what hell will be like.
You think that's true, Lewis?
You must be in terrible pain.
A man shouldn't have
to suffer like that.
You disappointed me,
Lewis, deeply.
I gave you my trust,
and you let me down.
You don't understand, do you?
The building is just
bricks and mortar.
The men are even less.
The merchandise, well,
we'll just have to raise
our prices, won't we?
But courage...
loyalty...
those things can't be replaced.
He...
he wasn't...
Human?
Of course not.
Y-Y-Y-You didn't see him.
I've seen him, Lewis.
I've seen him a thousand times.
I know him.
What... what is he?
My enemy.
My brother.
Well, at least have the courage
to do it yourself.
Yeah?
It's Joe.
What were you doing
in Lew Horner's hospital room?
I asked him some questions.
That's my job.
Who authorized you to see him?
Nobody authorized me
to see him.
What, somebody has
to authorize me?
He's dead.
I don't think
I have to tell you
how bad this looks, Diana.
You visit
the only witness we have
in a massive narcotics case,
and an hour later he's dead.
How did they find him?
What are you saying?
I'm only saying
what other people
are going to be saying.
And what the hell is that?
You're protecting someone.
Now I want everything
you have on Vincent, right now.
The letters, the books,
anything you know
about those tunnels.
Joe, why can't you just
trust me?
I did trust you.
Like I trusted John Moreno.
I'll send somebody by
for your files.
You're wasting your time.
At least I'll be
the one wasting it.
I want this guy, Diana.
And I'm going to get him
with or without you.
So come on, give me
something to work with.
Give me a reason
to believe in you.
Anything.
You know, when I got
you on this case,
I thought I was doing the most
I could for Cathy Chandler.
I guess I was wrong.
Where's Rolley?
He's gone.
I did my best
to stop him, but...
I fear he may
have gone back up above.
There's nothing for him
up there but death.
You know that.
So does Rolley.
And if you do find him,
what are you going to tell him
that he doesn't already know?
Am I meant to stand aside while
he's killing himself?
If that is a choice
that he's made.
You can't be with him every
moment, Vincent.
I am with him every moment.
When he destroys himself
he destroys a part of me.
This is what it is
to be a father.
Your son...
have you found anything?
Only...
a name written on the wind.
A memory of a face.
A ring... nothing.
So this isn't really
about Rolley?
This is about all
the lost children.
Are you Tony?
I try not to be.
Heard you got into some nasty
trouble last night,
real dissatisfied customer.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Oh, I think you do.
I got nothing
to say to you, lady.
Why don't you sit down, Tony?
Ow!
All right, all right.
Who did this to you?
Look, Tony,
I don't want to bust you.
I just want to know
where it happened.
Coffee?
Coffee.
That's it.
Thanks.
Vincent, don't.
How did you know?
I know, it's what I do.
Joe Maxwell came by
to see me this morning.
He knows what happened
last night.
He's looking for you.
He won't find me.
I found you.
There are no safe places
for anyone.
The place you destroyed
belonged to Gabriel.
It was his.
I can't prove it,
but I know it's true.
Gabriel.
Vincent, why?
If you didn't know,
why did you do it?
I had a friend.
His name is Rolley.
I did it for him.
And did it help him?
Is he better now?
Vincent, I've been there, too,
and this is not the way.
Then where is the way?
What would you have me do?
He has my son
and I have nothing
but these.
Those can't help you
find your son.
They can make Gabriel bleed...
night after night,
until...
Until you kill him
or he kills you.
By then it won't matter
who wins, Vincent.
What kind of father do you want
your son to have?
You continue alone in this,
you are going
to lose everything.
Where is the hope, Diana?
Where is the hope?
"This is all I have
to point me to Gabriel.
"It may be my son's only hope.
"I give it to you
with my trust.
Vincent."
