- Catherine Chandler: Uh, Vincent...
- Vincent Keller: What?
- Catherine Chandler: Your fly.
- Vincent Keller: [zipping his jeans] Oh. I'm sorry.
- Tess Vargas: That's what you're apologizing for?
- Vincent Keller: That, and, um, and about the... the tunnels the other day. I just, um... I... I don't want things to be, you know, weird between us.
- Tess Vargas: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. The whole manimal thing's a lot to wrap my head around. But you did save my neck. And hers. It's kind of hard to hate on that.
- Catherine Chandler: You punched a guy at a bar?
- Evan Marks: I had to. To see you. They were watching me.
- Catherine Chandler: Who was watching you?
- Evan Marks: I think we both know who "they" are. People who want to catch your, um... new boyfriend.
- Catherine Chandler: [feigning ignorance] Uh... boyfriend? I don't know...
- Evan Marks: What I don't understand is how you could choose him, a monster. 'Cause that's what he is. You know that, right?
- Catherine Chandler: I don't know what you are talking about.
- Evan Marks: Just stop, okay? Stop. We have been playing this game for a year now. It's done. I saw you last night with him, on your fire escape, kissing him. Kissing that... that thing.
- Catherine Chandler: Evan...
- Evan Marks: What, you gonna tell me that I'm wrong? Go ahead. Tell me that it's PTSD from almost getting mauled in the tunnels, or... or that I misinterpreted his DNA on your scarf. Come on. I want to hear you spin what I saw with my own two eyes.
- Vincent Keller: Catherine, these Muirfield guys, they knew exactly where I was; I'm talking precise coordinates. It just... it doesn't make sense.
- Catherine Chandler: It does. Um... Evan tipped them off.
- Vincent Keller: How do you know?
- Catherine Chandler: He told me. He saw us together at my apartment two nights ago, and then he followed you to the tunnels from there. Maybe if I had just been honest with him sooner...
- Vincent Keller: Catherine, come on. That's not your fault.
- Catherine Chandler: It is my fault. I let him take things too far, especially his feelings for me. You should have heard him.
- Vincent Keller: What did he say?
- Catherine Chandler: That we could never be together. That our love would never work out. He was upset.
- Vincent Keller: He sent a death squad after me.
- Catherine Chandler: Which is why I need to talk to him and convince him that you are not the monster that he thinks you are. If he can bring Muirfield to your door, he can lure them away.
- Vincent Keller: No, you're in enough danger as it is. I think it's about time I talk to him.
- Catherine Chandler: Okay, I don't see that ending well.
- Vincent Keller: Listen, Catherine, they're gonna ask him how he picked up on my trail, okay? And he may deflect a few times, but eventually they will stop asking nicely, and he will give you up. Okay? You know it's true, and I can't let that happen.
- Catherine Chandler: You're gonna have to. 'Cause you can't walk into my precinct for a little mano a mano. I can take care of this, okay?
- Vincent Keller: Don't even think about calling her.
- Evan Marks: What are you doing here?
- Vincent Keller: Trying to stop you from getting Catherine killed like you tried with me. They would have bugged your phone by now; you push "send", and they will track her down and they will kill her.
- Evan Marks: Now what? You gonna rip out my throat?
- Vincent Keller: Oh, it's tempting. But here's your other option. You're gonna pick up my trail somewhere else; somewhere that Muirfield will follow. Somewhere you wanna live, where you can get lost and never come back.
- Evan Marks: That's it? I just abandon Catherine into your so-called hands?
- Vincent Keller: You have no idea of the people you just signed up with, do you? They're dangerous.
- Evan Marks: And you're not? The vigilante who's killed countless New Yorkers? What, Cat's better off with a menace like you?
- Vincent Keller: She seems to think so.
- Evan Marks: She's just fascinated by you. That's the only reason why she's with you.
- Vincent Keller: Or maybe she's in love with me.
- Tess Vargas: I haven't decided anything. I'm just listening.
- J.T. Forbes: [to Cat] So, is she cool?
- Tess Vargas: Cooler than you in a ladies' locker room.
- J.T. Forbes: [shaking hands] J.T. Forbes.
- Tess Vargas: Yeah.
- J.T. Forbes: I'm sorry about the whole tranq thing.
- Tess Vargas: What tranq thing?
- Catherine Chandler: Can we skip this part?
- J.T. Forbes: So, Vincent showed up at campus warning me not to go back to the tunnels.
- Catherine Chandler: I know about the raid.
- J.T. Forbes: Yeah, well, then he proceeded to storm out saying he was gonna deal with it once and for all. Dude was pissed.
- Catherine Chandler: Do we have any idea where he was going?
- J.T. Forbes: No, but I'd say at the top of the list of people pissing him off...
- Catherine Chandler: Evan.
- Tess Vargas: What, he's involved in this, too?
- Catherine Chandler: He thinks I'm in danger because of Vincent, and that giving him up will somehow protect me.
- J.T. Forbes: I got worried, so I tried tracing a tracking app I put on his burner in case of emergencies.
- Catherine Chandler: And?
- J.T. Forbes: And I narrowed his location to a four-block radius on the edge of the city. And then, surprise, the signal was jammed.
- Catherine Chandler: It's them, isn't it?
- J.T. Forbes: That's my guess.
- Tess Vargas: Okay, can you guys stop talking in code?
- J.T. Forbes: Muirfield got closer than they've ever been to him last night, and they usually don't knock just once.
- Catherine Chandler: They've got him. We got to go.
- Tess Vargas: [taking J.T.'s tablet] Let me see that. I'm not leaving you with Geek Squad as backup.
- Evan Marks: Muirfield haven't stopped their experiments. They're trying to make a new generation of cross-species creature.
- Vincent Keller: And you're just putting this together now?
- Evan Marks: They wanna cut you open and see what makes you tick.
- Vincent Keller: They know what makes me tick. They made me. I was part of a highly-classified secret military experiment to create a unit of supersoldiers. These people are lethal, okay? That's why J.T. tried to stop you from joining them.
- Evan Marks: You know J.T. Forbes?
- Vincent Keller: Yeah, we grew up together. Picture becoming clear for you now?
- Evan Marks: Grew up? I... you mean they didn't...
- Vincent Keller: What, grow me in a petri dish? Is that what you think?
- Vincent Keller: My name is Vincent Ryan Keller, specialist, United States Army. Okay, these people destroyed my life. They injected me...
- Evan Marks: With cross-species DNA.
- Vincent Keller: Yeah. The experiments went wrong. Yeah, they couldn't control us, they couldn't control our side effects.
- Evan Marks: And now they wanna improve upon their mistakes. They lied to me. They said that they just wanted to tie up loose ends.
- Vincent Keller: Yeah, well, now you and Catherine are those loose ends. So if anything happens to her, it is on your hands.
- Evan Marks: I don't know if I can save her.
- Kyle: Who breached security?
- [he slams Evan's head into a desktop]
- Kyle: For the last time, who breached security? WHO DID YOU LET IN HERE?
- Evan Marks: Even if I did know who the infiltrator was, I'd never tell you. You might as well kill me.
- Kyle: I was planning on it.
- [gunshot]
- Catherine Chandler: How do you always find me?
- Vincent Keller: I never stop looking.
- Catherine Chandler: Maybe you should. I almost got you killed, and Evan died, and he took the blame for me at the precinct.
- Vincent Keller: Catherine, come on. You were willing to sacrifice your own life to try and help him, even after he betrayed you.
- [taking her hand]
- Vincent Keller: I am in awe of you. Do you know how strong you are?
- Catherine Chandler: Strong? I am selfish. He's dead because of me.
- Vincent Keller: No, Evan made his own decisions. He did what he did because he cared about you.
- Catherine Chandler: I'm putting you at risk, too.
- Vincent Keller: You're taking way too much responsibility.
- Catherine Chandler: Am I? If I hadn't shown up at the warehouse after we first met, you would have left town. Muirfield never would have found you.
- Vincent Keller: How does that make you selfish?
- Catherine Chandler: I should have pushed you away, but I pulled you closer. I couldn't help it.
- Vincent Keller: And you think I could?
- Vincent Keller: In all those years that I was watching over you, making sure you were safe, all I ever wanted was to meet you, to get to know you. So when you walked up those stairs that day in the warehouse, and you had figured out who I was and I was begging you not to tell anyone...
- Catherine Chandler: I remember.
- Vincent Keller: That was the best day of my life.
- Catherine Chandler: Vincent...
- Vincent Keller: No, it was. And I know it was wrong. I know I should have run right then and there, and that would have been the safest thing for you. But even though Muirfield was out there, I just... I couldn't help myself, either.
- Catherine Chandler: That's not true. You pushed me away.
- Vincent Keller: Do you really think I tried as hard as I could have?
- Catherine Chandler: We put each other in danger. That's what Evan showed me tonight. And as long as we love each other this much and will do anything to protect each other...
- Vincent Keller: Hey. We are always gonna be vulnerable. But I don't know what to do now, because I can't live without you.
- Catherine Chandler: We wouldn't have to be vulnerable if Muirfield was out of the way.
- Catherine Chandler: You have no idea who or what he is.
- Evan Marks: What he is is a danger to you and everyone around you.
- Catherine Chandler: According to who? Your friends at Muirfield?
- Evan Marks: The only reason I joined them was to help them erase their mistake, before it succumbs to its animal nature entirely and kills you, too.
- Catherine Chandler: He would never do that.
- Evan Marks: Why, because he loves you? Look at me, the fool trying to protect you, even as we speak. Do you really think that your feelings for this... this monster are real?
- Catherine Chandler: Evan, I know that you care about me. I...
- [something he said clicks]
- Catherine Chandler: Wait. What do you mean protecting me even as we speak? Evan... Evan, what did you do? Why did you bring me here? Why now?
- Evan Marks: So I'd know that you'd be safe when they came for him.
- Catherine Chandler: No.
- [getting the guard's attention]
- Catherine Chandler: Hey!
- Evan Marks: [she runs out] Cat! Cat, stay away from him! Cat!
- J.T. Forbes: Thanks for helping me move these. Did you do laundry at Cat's?
- Vincent Keller: Maybe. Why?
- J.T. Forbes: 'Cause your spring rain scent is drowning out the raw sewage and rat droppings.
- Vincent Keller: Yeah, well, imagine it with my sense of smell.
- Catherine Chandler: What are you doing? And where's Evan?
- Gabe Lowen: That is a good question. He hasn't shown up for work today.
- Catherine Chandler: So you're tearing apart his morgue?
- Gabe Lowen: I don't see a reason to stop. Unless, of course, he said something to you in the tank about the vigilante. I have connections, too.
- Catherine Chandler: Evan is my friend. That's why I went to see him. And last I heard, the vigilante was dead.
- Gabe Lowen: And I have some questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.
- Catherine Chandler: I don't understand why you're singling Evan out.
- Gabe Lowen: Believe me, I'm not.
- Catherine Chandler: My desk drawer was cracked open this morning. Was that you? You going through my things?
- Gabe Lowen: Yeah, you're light on number two pencils. And I think those oatmeal packets expired about a decade ago.
- Catherine Chandler: I'm sure you have a warrant for all of this?
- Gabe Lowen: I wrote it myself this morning. On the grounds of obstruction of justice.
- Catherine Chandler: Should I be getting my union rep involved?
- Gabe Lowen: We have a mole in the department. That chemical warehouse blowing up just as we arrived? It's all a bit too much of a coincidence.
- Catherine Chandler: And I'm a suspect.
- Gabe Lowen: Right now, our MIA medical examiner is the chief suspect. But no one's been ruled out.
- Evan Marks: You really think dragging her into your world, forcing her into some twisted relationship with a monster, is protecting her? How long do you think this fairy tale will last?
- Vincent Keller: You're on the wrong side. You need to stop this hunt now.
- Evan Marks: Hunt? You're to blame. You knew that Muirfield were after you and yet you put Catherine right in the middle of it all. You put her life on the line just so you could selfishly be with her.
- Vincent Keller: Are you really so naive to think that this black ops agency is just gonna let Catherine go? I know them. I know they'll ask you how you found me. How long do you think you'll last before you give up her name?
- Evan Marks: I would never.
- Vincent Keller: They have killed men ten times stronger than you. When push comes to shove, you will break, and then who's the threat to her?
- Evan Marks: There won't be a threat once you're gone.
- Vincent Keller: I will not let you hurt her.
- Evan Marks: What do you think you can really offer her? Do you think Cat wants to hide out like hunted prey for the rest of her life? She deserves to be with a man.
