Beauty and the Beast (1987–1990): Season 3, Episode 9 - In the Forests of the Night - 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.
Please hold.
Hello?
Office of the District Attorney.
Yes, is Joe Maxwell there?
Who shall I say is calling?
It's Diana Bennett.
I'm with the police department.
It's an emergency.
Hold, please.
Miss Bennett, where are you
calling from?
Who is this? I need, I need
to speak to Joe Maxwell.
He's tied up in court.
Tell me where you are.
I'll send someone
to pick you up.
His name's Julien.
Some names
have power.
But you know that, don't you?
Vincent... conqueror.
Ordinary men write
their names in water.
Each generation, there are a few
stronger than the rest
who write their names in blood.
My son will be a man like that.
Gabriel,
you have no son.
It's been long enough.
Remove the child.
Do it.
Lucas. Reed.
I want the child.
The doctor wants
another blood sample.
If you resist, they'll fire,
but not at you.
We understand each other?
Do it.
Draw your
blood, Doctor.
I got her--
she's traveling west
along 14th.
Do you think he sleeps?
Well, surely. He must.
Well?
The results
are the same.
The blood is not
compatible.
A transfusion would be fatal.
Where do you suggest
that we find a blood type
that is compatible?
The child's blood type
is unique.
There isn't any.
I see.
Well, I'm very disappointed,
Doctor.
If my son dies...
He's getting stronger.
I can't find any
explanation, but...
the boy's fever has broken.
He's taking some formula.
Maybe the illness
has run its course
or perhaps there
could be
some sort of spontaneous
remission.
No...
it's him.
I think she spotted me.
I thought you might want
to know...
My son is recovering.
I feel it.
I feel him.
Oh...
by the way...
I thought you might want
that back...
now that the woman's dead.
I'm sorry if we frightened you.
We never meant you harm.
Who are you?
When I was part of your world,
my name was Jacob Wells.
Vincent is my son.
We're his family.
His friends.
Do you all
live down here?
Well, some of us.
Last night,
you came down
into the tunnels.
You called
for Vincent.
Why?
If you know where he is,
why he left, please.
I brought him a message
from Gabriel.
His son is sick.
He may even be dying.
Oh, dear God.
He surrendered himself
to save the child's life.
Gabriel has men
inside the police department.
They're everywhere-- I...
I don't know who to trust.
They took my gun;
my badge is back at my loft.
They've completely cut me off.
I have no money,
I have no clothes.
If they find me,
they'll kill me.
The pattern is
very unusual;
it's very old.
I think if we can find
this tile, we'll be
able to find Gabriel.
I need to get this
drawing to Joe Maxwell.
No problem-- I'm in and out
of there all the time.
No, it's too dangerous--
they're gonna be
watching Joe.
In that case,
I'll take it myself.
Do you know the meaning
of "Veritas te Liberabit"?
Veritas... Yes.
"The truth will set you free."
Thank you, Jamie.
This was Catherine's gun.
She brought it to me.
It was during a time
of great danger
here in the tunnels.
Now the danger
is above.
Thank you.
I told him she was dead.
Are you making a liar
out of me, Pope?
Oh, no, sir-- it's
only a matter of time.
When it's over,
bring her here.
I want him to see her.
I want him to learn-- the
truth will set him free.
Gabriel.
I'm here, Vincent.
I can feel your eyes on me.
Does that make you uneasy?
I can feel my son, too.
Our bond is growing
stronger, Gabriel.
There's only one bond
that counts.
I gave this child life.
Catherine gave him life.
I kept her alive for months
when a word would have ended it.
I was there
when Julien was born.
The first time he opened
his eyes he looked at me.
He's mine.
He'll never be yours.
Hour by hour,
minute by minute,
our bond grows,
and nothing you do can stop it.
Your death would stop it.
Death...
shall have no dominion.
Tell that to Catherine Chandler.
She knew it...
even at the end.
She kn...
So what you're telling me is,
there's no trace of her.
We'll keep looking,
but I'm not holding my breath.
The guys who grabbed
Bennett were pros.
And what the hell are you,
the Campfire Girls?
Look, Joe...
No, you look, Greg.
Joe, there's a man out here
insisting that
he has to see you.
Tell him to come
back tomorrow.
He says it's urgent.
Andrea, the office is closed.
Give him an appointment.
He says
he has information
about Vincent.
Bring him in.
Maybe you better stick around
for a minute for this.
On second thought,
I think I'd like a minute alone
with Mister...
Wells.
Jacob Wells.
You're very lucky you're not
under arrest, Mr. Wells.
Have a seat.
There's not time
for that, Mr. Maxwell.
Here.
What the hell is this?
A pattern of a floor tile,
from the home of the man
who killed Catherine Chandler.
Diana Bennett said
you'd know what to do with it.
Diana?
Diana Bennett's been missing
since last night
when she was taken out
of a diner at gunpoint.
If you know her whereabouts...
I know she's safe.
I also know
we're running short of time.
Why am I listening to you?
Because Catherine
would want you to.
We have so much in common.
We could have been
great friends.
Fire.
Leave us.
It doesn't have
to end that way.
Even enemies
can join hands.
I have so much
to offer you:
your life, your freedom.
Nothing you could give me
can replace what you took.
Love?
You don't know
the meaning of love.
Julian needs both of us.
My son...
needs nothing from you.
You have nothing to give.
I can protect him.
I can, uh,
show him the way
the world works,
the real world.
I can make him a king.
I've seen your kingdom.
It's a kingdom of shadows.
It's a kingdom of death.
It's our kingdom, Vincent.
Remember.
Julian will see this one day.
It's important...
that a boy know
who his father is.
He's going to kill himself.
No.
He won't die.
Death has no
meaning for him.
He's not afraid
of pain.
Perhaps he's not
intelligent enough
to comprehend
his own mortality.
He's more intelligent
than you are, Doctor,
and less mortal.
No, the only thing
he's afraid of is himself.
You sound like
you envy him.
Do you feel sorry
for him, Doctor?
Don't.
The day will come...
when he'll watch himself
with pleasure.
He'll savor every murder...
and polish the memories
like precious gems.
Life and death
make a perfect circle,
like a ring that has
no beginning and no end.
The serpent
eating its own tail forever.
Violence feeds on violence...
...murder on murder,
vengeance on vengeance,
century after century,
through all...
eternity.
I want you guys to talk
to building supply retailers,
importers, flooring contractors,
anyone who deals
with tile flooring in any way.
Cover all the bases.
Also, real estate brokers.
We're talking about
a big-ticket house here.
So check with all the
guys who pull down
the million-dollar
commissions first.
Also, cleaning services,
tax appraisers,
insurance companies.
Any questions?
There are copies
all over the city.
Maxwell has half the NYPD
out on the streets.
It must be that woman.
The woman who should
be dead by now.
Somehow she's got
to Maxwell.
I thought you
had Mr. Maxwell
under surveillance.
Well, we do, but, uh...
No more buts.
Let Maxwell lead you to her,
and then eliminate them both.
No, we can't wait for the guy
to get back from his honeymoon.
What, they don't have
phones in Italy?
Fax the drawing.
I want an answer.
I don't care what time
it is there.
Do it.
Oh, damn.
Andrea, I'm stepping out
for about an hour.
Are you, uh...?
Come on, mac, dinosaurs
don't wait for nobody.
Joe.
You don't know how glad
I am to see you.
The old man
was on the level.
You really had
me scared.
Me, too.
Look, um, you got any leads
on those tiles?
No, nothing yet.
Talk to me, Maxwell.
Hey, pal, watch
where you're walking.
I just mopped this floor.
Pardon me.
Wait a minute, I'm not
through talking to you yet.
Get out of my way.
You know what,
I don't like
your attitude...
Not so fast.
Now what? What's going on?
Got a license for this?
What's the problem?
D.A.'s office.
This guy's got a gun.
Why don't you hold him
till the cops come.
Who are you guys?
Uh... just
dinosaur fans.
That's Greg Hughs.
Come on.
You're not looking
well, my friend.
Is there anything I can do
to make you more comfortable?
Better?
See?
I know how to be merciful.
We need more blood.
Lucas, the doctor needs help.
If you had not come to me,
Julien might have died.
I owe you a life.
Look at him, Vincent.
Isn't he beautiful?
Catherine saw
he was beautiful, too.
I let her hold him
just as long as I could.
I'm sorry about
Catherine.
She must have been
a very special person.
Her death... well...
We all make mistakes.
Of course, it was
the doctor who killed her.
What was it
you used?
Morphine?
Well, at least
the end was painless.
No, it wasn't me.
That's not very convincing,
Doctor.
Please.
You told me to kill her!
You told me!
I didn't want to do it.
It was him.
I didn't want
to do it.
I swear to you.
A life for a life.
His life is yours.
Please.
Please have mercy.
Catherine begged for mercy, too.
Oh, God...
Oh, no.
Go on, do it.
Do it for her.
Go on, do it.
Do it. Kill him.
Kill him!
No!
No!
No.
Get him out of there.
Vincent...
I always pay my debts.
All right, I got it.
Good. Thanks a lot, Greg.
Listen, we're going to have
to move on this.
Get the Commissioner
on the horn.
Meet me back at my office
in ten minutes, all right?
Good. Bye.
Bingo.
Tiles are Italian made.
Turn of the century.
They cost a fortune.
The importer gave us
a list of addresses.
Hunter Point,
Staten Island,
Westchester, the rest
are all Manhattan.
Yeah, so?
So the chopper flew
over water.
Montauk Point's too far,
it's got to be Staten Island.
Then let's move.
Joe, this guy is going to
have an army waiting for you.
Now, it's going to take you
hours to get organized,
and by that time he's going
to know you're coming.
What are you
going to do?
I'm going to do
whatever I can.
He's growing stronger.
Maxwell's
organizing a raid.
We must evacuate.
The sooner the better.
You handle it, Pope.
I've ordered
a helicopter,
and your Learjet is standing
by at Kennedy for you.
Look at him.
Those bars
are tungsten steel.
Order another generator...
in case of emergencies.
If the current should fail...
Just kill him.
Let's go, before
the police come.
Police don't concern me.
Forgive me, sir, but which
of you is the captive here?
In ancient days...
men ate the hearts
of fallen heroes
hoping that their power
and strength
would pass into them.
On cold battlefields...
steam would rise
from their open chest.
The heart would smoke
in your hand...
hot with blood.
Still beating.
Almost as if...
Pope?
I want units here,
here and here.
Seal every road that goes
near the place.
And keep the civilians back.
We could have heavy resistance.
The city engineer says we got
a helipad behind the main house.
Then I want choppers.
Nobody gets out.
Got it?
Now, your men have to get over
these walls fast.
All right, that's it.
We hit 'em as soon
as it gets dark.
Okay, what about
the sewer lines?
If you take this branch
of the main Castleton
Avenue conduit,
it could go...
No, it doesn't.
You see, it does not go
right through.
Wait a minute.
What's this?
This line goes right under
the wall.
Oh, yes, that's
an old steam main.
It's inactive of course,
but I mean, it's merely a pipe.
You know, the diameter's not...
Can I fit?
Barely.
I don't think we have a choice.
Any word from
the commissioner?
We got a green light.
Chopper's
on the way.
Let's go.
Now, you go straight on
for one mile.
Then you turn east;
that's right.
Now, the pipes
are very corroded,
so try not to get rust
in your eyes.
Here, take this.
Godspeed.
The police are
coming.
Let them come.
If they find you,
they'll kill you.
Or maybe they won't.
Maybe they'll just leave
the monster in his cage
for the rest of his life.
Your words have
no more power, Gabriel.
You're the only monster here.
Nothing happens by accident.
The woman, the child,
that was meant to be.
Our destinies are linked...
yours, mine, Julien's.
Do you believe
in destiny?
I know the power of love.
There was a girl, she was 16,
two years older than I was.
So beautiful.
I loved her desperately.
She was the first person
I ever killed.
I spent one perfect night
in her arms.
Perfection must be cherished,
protected.
Such beauty... passion.
I had to keep it pure.
Don't be afraid.
No one will take you from me.
I love you, Julien.
Vincent!
The child is crying.
There's not a lot of time.
Please, just hurry.
Under the building,
Father's waiting.
Hurry.
Thank you.
Do you know
what prison is?
A place to grow stronger.
No court will convict me.
Jurors have families, too.
And even if they did,
you can rule the world
from a prison cell.
I own nations, Diana.
I'll have the child back...
In the end, I always win.
Not this time, Gabriel.
This is Catherine
Chandler's gun.
It has been said that the child
is the meaning of life.
The truth of that has never been
more apparent to me
than it is on this day
when we celebrate the child,
this new life that has been
brought into our world.
We welcome the child
with love,
that he may be able to love.
We welcome the child with gifts,
that he may learn generosity.
And finally,
we welcome the child
with a name.
I've named my son "Jacob."
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

Then... one day,
she was taken from me
by the forces of evil

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.
Please hold.
Hello?
Office of the District Attorney.
Yes, is Joe Maxwell there?
Who shall I say is calling?
It's Diana Bennett.
I'm with the police department.
It's an emergency.
Hold, please.
Miss Bennett, where are you

I can make him a king.
I've seen your kingdom.
It's a kingdom of shadows.
It's a kingdom of death.
It's our kingdom, Vincent.
Remember.
Julian will see this one day.
It's important...
that a boy know
who his father is.
He's going to kill himself.
No.
He won't die.
Death has no
meaning for him.
He's not afraid
of pain.
Perhaps he's not
intelligent enough
to comprehend
his own mortality.
He's more intelligent
than you are, Doctor,
and less mortal.
No, the only thing
he's afraid of is himself.
You sound like

Do you feel sorry

Don't.

His life is yours.
Please.
Please have mercy.
Catherine begged for mercy, too.
Oh, God...
Oh, no.
Go on, do it.
Do it for her.
Go on, do it.
Do it. Kill him.
Kill him!
No!
No!
No.
Get him out of there.
Vincent...
I always pay my debts.
All right, I got it.
Good. Thanks a lot, Greg.
Listen, we're going to have
to move on this.
Get the Commissioner
on the horn.
Meet me back at my office
in ten minutes, all right?
Good. Bye.
Bingo.
Tiles are Italian made.
Turn of the century.
They cost a fortune.
The importer gave us
a list of addresses.
Hunter Point,
Staten Island,
Westchester, the rest
are all Manhattan.
Yeah, so?
So the chopper flew
over water.
Montauk Point's too far,
it's got to be Staten Island.
Then let's move.
Joe, this guy is going to
have an army waiting for you.
Now, it's going to take you
hours to get organized,
and by that time he's going
to know you're coming.
What are you
going to do?
I'm going to do
whatever I can.
He's growing stronger.
Maxwell's
organizing a raid.
We must evacuate.
The sooner the better.
You handle it, Pope.
I've ordered
a helicopter,
and your Learjet is standing
by at Kennedy for you.
Look at him.
Those bars
are tungsten steel.
Order another generator...
in case of emergencies.
If the current should fail...
Just kill him.
Let's go, before
the police come.
Police don't concern me.
Forgive me, sir, but which
of you is the captive here?
In ancient days...
men ate the hearts
of fallen heroes
hoping that their power
and strength
would pass into them.
On cold battlefields...
steam would rise
from their open chest.
The heart would smoke
in your hand...
hot with blood.
Still beating.
Almost as if...
Pope?
I want units here,
here and here.
Seal every road that goes
near the place.
And keep the civilians back.
We could have heavy resistance.
The city engineer says we got
a helipad behind the main house.
Then I want choppers.
Nobody gets out.
Got it?
Now, your men have to get over
these walls fast.
All right, that's it.
We hit 'em as soon
as it gets dark.
Okay, what about
the sewer lines?
If you take this branch
of the main Castleton
Avenue conduit,
it could go...
No, it doesn't.
You see, it does not go
right through.
Wait a minute.
What's this?
This line goes right under
the wall.
Oh, yes, that's
an old steam main.
It's inactive of course,
but I mean, it's merely a pipe.
You know, the diameter's not...
Can I fit?
Barely.
I don't think we have a choice.
Any word from
the commissioner?
We got a green light.
Chopper's
on the way.
Let's go.
Now, you go straight on
for one mile.
Then you turn east;
that's right.
Now, the pipes
are very corroded,
so try not to get rust
in your eyes.
Here, take this.
Godspeed.
The police are
coming.
Let them come.
If they find you,
they'll kill you.
Or maybe they won't.
Maybe they'll just leave
the monster in his cage
for the rest of his life.
Your words have
no more power, Gabriel.
You're the only monster here.
Nothing happens by accident.
The woman, the child,
that was meant to be.
Our destinies are linked...
yours, mine, Julien's.
Do you believe
in destiny?
I know the power of love.
There was a girl, she was 16,
two years older than I was.
So beautiful.
I loved her desperately.
She was the first person
I ever killed.
I spent one perfect night
in her arms.
Perfection must be cherished,
protected.
Such beauty... passion.
I had to keep it pure.
Don't be afraid.
No one will take you from me.
I love you, Julien.
Vincent!
The child is crying.
There's not a lot of time.
Please, just hurry.
Under the building,
Father's waiting.
Hurry.
Thank you.
Do you know
what prison is?
A place to grow stronger.
No court will convict me.
Jurors have families, too.
And even if they did,
you can rule the world
from a prison cell.
I own nations, Diana.
I'll have the child back...
In the end, I always win.
Not this time, Gabriel.
This is Catherine
Chandler's gun.
It has been said that the child
is the meaning of life.
The truth of that has never been
more apparent to me
than it is on this day
when we celebrate the child,
this new life that has been
brought into our world.
We welcome the child
with love,
that he may be able to love.
We welcome the child with gifts,
that he may learn generosity.
And finally,
we welcome the child
with a name.
I've named my son "Jacob."
