Previously on Beauty and the Beast...
My husband was an archaeologist, he was helping us on a case,
and whatever he discovered got him killed.
London, 1836.
Is that the same gem?
Scotland Yard found it at a murder scene.
In fact, it's been found at many murder scenes ever since,
including one that your father investigated.
There is something about this gem that is definitely connected
to you, Catherine.
JT: It's a beast collar.
A collar?
Which implies somebody was controlling it.
Why would someone want a gem that controls beasts?
You have to get it back.
No, we do.
♪ ♪
Well, you know what's not fair?
What, that my mother didn't teach me how to cook?
No.
I agree to take a celebrity cooking class
hoping to get some action...
-No!
(whispers): Tess, shh!
And you are like catnip
to every single guy. Including Chef Raymond.
-It's not fair.
-Okay, no more vino for you.
Okay, it's not my fault. I didn't realize this was gonna be
an aphrodisiac theme when I was the one to host the class.
I just hope that my canapes don't make JT's party into...
An orgy?
I was going to say disaster.
You need to eat something.
(chuckles)
Not oysters.
How's it going over here?
-Good! You know,
-Good.
as long as my canapes don't go up in flames.
(laughs): Flambé.
(laughs)
-It's also an aphrodisiac.
-Mm.
(laughs)
I've been single too long. Guys can sense it.
-Yes, they can.
-No, they can't.
(laughs)
It's a proven fact.
Okay, it's anecdotal, but it's true, all right?
They don't... they don't like desperate,
and they don't like to wait.
Like Gabe, for example.
What do you mean, "like Gabe"?
Well, you know he's leaving, right?
Not, like, for good. He's just leaving the precinct.
He didn't tell you?
No, he didn't. Why is he leaving?
Well, his work is done.
He cleaned up Joe's mess, he arrested your dad.
Now the D.O.J.'s bringing it back to command.
Like I said, guys don't wait.
Tess, I am not going to get
into a relationship so soon.
No,
like him...
Hey, if you don't
I-I like him, it's just...
Look, Cat, I'm all for self-discovery, okay?
God knows I'm the queen of it right now.
But it... (sighs)
it doesn't keep you warm at night.
And it doesn't curl your toes.
Curl my toes?
I'm just saying, use it or lose it.
(phone ringing)
Hey, is everything all right?
You know what? I'm not sure.
Uh, am I calling too late?
No, I'm, uh... I'm just cooking.
Cooking? Really?
(chuckles) Okay, be nice.
Any sign of Agent Landon?
No.
No, and that's what worries me.
You know, I know she's, uh, suspicious of Tori
and, you know, maybe me, too.
She knows something strange happened
and she knows that we're hiding it from her.
If she finds out, then I'm exposed
and you are completely screwed.
Yeah, but I still think that if we can figure out who killed
her husband all those years ago, maybe she'll go away.
You know, I know if we find the stolen gem,
then we will find the killer.
Okay, but how do we find the gem?
Well, same way that your ancestor did.
Rebecca followed the same gem when it was stolen back in 1840
to get this:
"a dark, gothic dungeon filled with a treasure trove
of artifacts... and creature-like skeletons."
A dungeon? In Manhattan?
Apparently.
Now, the problem is it's in a part of the city
that doesn't exist anymore on any map.
Okay, but why would whoever took this gem
be holing themselves up there now?
Well, because it's full of these unique artifacts
that this guy's been stealing for years, right?
Besides, what better way to hide from the FBI
than a place that is impossible to find?
I don't know, it's sounds like a long shot.
Well, it's the only shot we got.
Look, Catherine, right or wrong,
I have chosen a completely different path than you.
Which means as soon as we solve this,
you can finally go back to your own life
and get away from all of this.
Vincent, we've had this conversation.
Because of Rebecca, this is as much about me as...
(fire alarm beeping)
Hey, what's going on? You okay?
Flambé. I got to go.
TORI: Who was that?
Catherine?
Yeah.
Again.
"Come on," what?
"Again?" Tori, come on.
You talk to her every day. What am I supposed to think?
That we're trying to get the FBI
off our backs. Okay? That's what.
It's not her back that we have to worry about,
it's ours-- that gem can hurt us, not Catherine.
Well, Agent Landon can hurt Catherine, okay,
a lot for trying to cover this up, all right?
She's just trying to help us.
(scoffs) She's not helping us,
she's helping you, Vincent.
Listen, I'm...
I'm sorry.
I don't know, I guess I'm just nervous.
I know you never promised me a future, but...
we have been in some kind of relationship, and...
I guess I was just hoping that...
you'd stop sneaking out of bed every night to call her.
Okay, I'm sorry.
What do you want me to say?
That you don't want to go back to her.
(chuckles)
all I want is
You know, right now,
Do you?
to find out whoever has that damn gem and stop them
before Agent Landon finds out what's really going on.
(crowd cheering)
Thank you. Thanks.
Please, you're embarrassing me, okay?
Sir.
He's blushing.
I don't think he's used to the limelight.
Well, he better get used to it.
Winning the Brady Wright Research Grant
is like winning the Super Bowl for a scientist.
Yeah.
isn't it?
It's like a $500,000 grant,
He deserves it.
And he gets his own lab.
Everything he sacrificed for you-know-who.
Wait, what do I get for my sacrifice?
Curled toes.
So, Gabe, I hear you're leaving.
I'm going to try one of your canapes.
Wish me luck.
Weren't you going to tell me?
Of course I was.
I just, um...
I didn't, because...
I didn't want you to think that it had anything to do with us.
-No.
-It doesn't?
Catherine, I told you that I'd wait for you, and I will.
At the same time, I just... I feel like I need to move on
with my professional life.
See what else is out there for me.
Especially after everything I've gone through
with you-know-who.
VINCENT: Hey.
Speaking of.
Hey, Vincent, Tori.
Yeah, sorry we're late.
Hi.
Thanks.
Nice dress.
Hey, Gabe, have you had a chance
to look at Agent Landon's files yet?
Well, she has a list of possible suspects
who could be responsible for the heist,
but it's a long list.
We're gonna have to narrow it down.
Wondering who might just happen to own a dungeon.
VINCENT: Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you guys about.
I was hoping maybe we could cross-reference
the names on Landon's list with the, uh,
locations of Rebecca's files.
Maybe we could try and figure out where this
"dungeon" could actually be.
Uh, I'm sorry, "dungeon"?
Oh, um, Rebecca-- she found the same gem there back in 1840,
but we don't know where the dungeon is today.
City's different now.
Man of the hour.
Hey, look who I found.
Thank you, thank you.
JT, I'm so happy for you.
Yeah. When do you finally get to see your lab?
Uh, they're coming to pick me up in a couple minutes.
Oh.
VINCENT:
Limo.
Limo?
I'm just saying.
Damn right!
Getting a little cocky there, huh?
Still can't believe this is actually happening to me
after all these years.
I love you guys. Really.
Okay, okay.
Bring it in.
VINCENT: Come on.
Oh... oh! (chuckles)
(clears throat)
Okay. Excuse me for one second.
Did I miss something?
(laughs)
(choking)
(muffled): Really good.
Really, very good.
VINCENT: Tori!
Hey, Tori.
No, it's fine. Just go back to your friends.
Come on, talk to me, tell me what's wrong.
What's wrong? Are you kidding?
Did-did you see the way they were treating me in there?
What do you mean?
(chuckles): Never mind.
No, come on, tell me, what's wrong?
Honestly...
I feel like I'm losing you, Vincent.
And I don't know what else I can do
to stop it from happening either.
I'm just... I'm a little preoccupied, okay,
with finding this gem; we all are.
No, we aren't. You are.
Catherine is, your friends are, but I'm-I'm not a part of it.
As though it has nothing to do with me,
when actually it has everything to do with me.
W-With us.
We've been through all of this.
No, it's not just about the gem,
and you know it.
Be honest.
I can sense how you feel.
I can sense your heartbeat.
You taught me, remember?
I don't want to lose you, Vincent.
You're all... you're all I have.
I don't have anybody else.
I don't have any friends.
You're all I've got.
And I think that might be part of the problem.
All I know is that when we're together,
there's something about your power that...
it doesn't just amplify mine, okay, it affects everything.
The way think, the way I feel...
I don't... I don't understand.
(sighs) I don't know.
I chose a path with you and...
...I think maybe we just need a little time apart
from each other so we can think things through, okay?
You mean, so you can think things through.
Hey, whoa, whoa. Where you going?
To see my new lab. Want to come?
Oh, uh, I wish I could, man, but I just got stuff going on.
Say no more. Wish me luck.
Good luck.
Is everything okay?
You bring Rebecca's case file?
No.
No, I left it at my place.
We were thinking of using it to track her path
to the dungeon using an old map.
Yeah, and compare it to a modern map with the suspect list,
see if any names match locations.
Okay, according to the file, Rebecca was last seen
heading uptown, to a place called, uh, Carmanville.
exist anymore,
-Yeah, well, it doesn't
-Carmanville?
but in the scheme of things, it'd...
probably be Washington Heights now.
Let's go.
I will be right there.
All right, th-thanks, guys.
(sighs)
-No.
-Are you okay?
Everyone wants to move on with their lives, but,
you know, I just feel bad because they can't.
They got to deal with this first.
That's what friends are for.
Is that what we are now? Friends?
It's better than enemies.
Vincent, just 'cause we're not together anymore
doesn't mean that we don't still have a history together,
that we don't still care about each other.
And that is why I'm going to offer you
some friendly advice.
Okay.
Talk to Tori.
What?
Well, it wasn't easy for me
being with you at first either.
You tend to shut people out.
You want to solve everything by yourself.
Keeps her guessing, worrying.
Trust me, I know.
Sorry I was such a pain.
(both chuckle)
I should go.
All right.
(sighs)
What are you doing?
I got it.
Professor Forbes.
Tony Barnes.
I work for the Brady Wright Foundation.
-Hi, cool, thanks.
-Welcome.
Uh, this where the lab is?
Just downstairs. By the way, thank you
for forwarding all your research files in advance.
It'll help expedite things.
Sure, no problem.
I guess I was kind of figuring
it would be more downtown, you know.
SoHo, Wall Street.
Zoning. OSHA's clamping down.
After you.
There's not any mold down here, is there?
No, no mold.
Good, you know, 'cause I'm kind of allergic.
Also I'm, uh... more of a window guy.
So, um, there isn't a chance we can
move the lab above ground, is there?
Sorry.
Run!
Get out while you can!

They did the same thing to me.
Five years ago.
Or, uh, was it six?
Hey, what year is it?
Sorry?
Is it 2013 still?
No, '14.
What the hell?
Help! Somebody help me!
Hey, hey, hey. It's no use.
This dungeon's been here for, like,
a couple hundred years.
It's solid stone.
I don't understand what's going on.
Why are they doing this to me? This isn't right!
I won the Brady Wright Grant for God sakes!
They cut you, and they took your shirt.
I don't know why they did it, but they did.
Who the hell are you?
I'm you.
I mean, before they put me in here anyways.
Couldn't mix the right serum the way they wanted,
so they caged me, the rat bastards!
So that I could help you figure it out, I guess.
Figure what out?
(clattering nearby)
(whispers): Just do as they say.
Ah, good, you're awake.
Look, pal, I don't know what you want...
Let me tell you what I want.
I want you to replicate
the serum Muirfield used to make...
How did you refer to them in your secret research? Beasts.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Come on, you're a smart guy.
Brilliant, actually.
But I'm a pretty smart guy, too.
So, let's not play games.
By now, you figured out I tricked you
into thinking you won the grant,
only to gain access to your encrypted files.
Especially those on cross-species DNA.
See, now you know I'm telling the truth.
And now you understand what I want.
Do I?
I also know you got hold
of Windsor's creature skeleton and the collar.
How do I know that?
Because I'm the one who's been
paying people to steal artifacts.
And once they took that from you, I began to wonder.
How did you get it?
Unless, of course, you knew something about beasts.
Or, better yet...
know one.
I've pulled every ingredient from my research,
Muirfield's and yours. Which means
that here is everything you need
to figure out how to make the serum.
And the sooner you make it, the sooner you can go.
Look, I may be an idiot for getting duped,
but I'm not stupid.
Even if I knew how to make this serum,
which I don't,
you wouldn't let me go anyway, so screw you.
(laughs)
Are you sure you don't want to at least try?
No!
Please, dear God.
Don't let him shoot me. Do what he says.
-Just do what he says.
-Hmm?
(muffled grunting)
through your things!
She was going
Oh...
What was I supposed to do,
Are you out of your mind?!
Yes, Tori! She's FBI!
let her go?
So you tied her up instead?!
You said she was a threat!
-Get off me!
-No, don't let her...
Damn it, I said no!
-Hey.
Did Vincent bring Rebecca's file?
No, and I can't get ahold of him either.
Are you worried?
Always.
Okay, well, here's what I got so far.
Seven of the names on Agent Landon's suspect list
match up with properties inside of
Are any of them dungeons?
the old Carmanville.
No, no dungeons. And none of them
mentioned in any of my research in Rebecca's time either.
Well, there has to be one somewhere.
She was pretty specific.
It's strange having an ancestor involved in all this, too.
Makes you think.
About?
About fate, destiny.
I mean, it's a little eerie.
I'm following the same investigation she did,
looking for the same gem she was.
Trying to figure out who's after beasts,
200 years later.
Maybe you're meant to solve something
she couldn't. So you can move on.
Like you are?
Catherine, please don't take it personally.
I'm just, um...
I need a change. We both do.
I mean, if you think about it,
we have spent most of our time together
dealing with... beasts.
I mean, me, Vincent, good, bad, it's defined us.
It still does.
I know.
It doesn't mean that I don't want to be with you.
But I am also trying to honor what you want.
I'm still trying to figure out what it is I want exactly.
Hey.
Don't you ever knock?
Not when I think JT's just been kidnapped.
You have anything stronger?
What would you like?
I don't know. I don't really think anything's gonna help.
You're not gonna hurt me, are you?
No, I am not gonna hurt you.
I just... I need to explain, okay?
Look, my friend-- he has done a lot of research
on what it is that I am.
It is all here, and I will show it to you,
everything that you need to know.
Why?
Because my only other option
is to kill you.
I'm sorry... I'm joking.
Funny.
I mean, I knew something was going on,
something that exceeded all of my training,
but what I saw...
What did I see?
Well, something that
some people would pay a lot of money
to see for themselves.
Somebody like whoever killed my husband?
And who's behind these heists?
Yeah.
Look, now that you know about us,
I was hoping that we could work together
to try and find them.
So this whole secret, this must have been
what Sam stumbled across in his last dig
and what got him killed.
I mean, why do they want this gem so badly?
Because it can stop us.
It takes away my power and my strength.
Look, I had no idea about this thing
until you brought it to our attention.
And now that I know,
I need to get it away from whoever has it
before they use it against me.
And I need to stop them for what they did to Sam.
(door opening)
Is JT here?
JT? No, why?
Agent Landon?
It's okay, she knows.
About what?
Enough to help.
No, he's been kidnapped.
Is JT okay?
Yeah. Someone got his contact list.
What?
They sent out a mass e-mail; they wrote it cryptically
so that everyone else thinks it's innocent.
Everyone except those of us who knows about beasts.
Does it say what they want?
Yeah.
You.
Sending the mass e-mail's smart.
They're casting a wide net to see who will bite.
Plus, sending it from JT's account
keeps anyone from tracing it back to them.
CATHERINE: "23rd and 7th. Sense sweater."
"Sense sweater." What does that mean?
It means they know that beasts can track using their senses.
Okay, no, Vincent, wait.
Which is exactly what I'm gonna do.
Why, Catherine? They're after me, not JT.
Yeah, but they don't know it's you for sure, otherwise
they wouldn't have sent an e-mail to everyone.
They want a beast, okay, and that is me!
GABE: Okay, but why would they lure you
if they didn't know they could already handle you?
They've obviously got it.
The gem.
Otherwise, it'd be suicide to want you.
We should follow Vincent while he follows the clues
It's too risky.
and back him up.
If they're following him, then JT...
The hell it is, okay?!
Vincent, this isn't your fault.
Everyone is here wasting their time because of me!
Now JT-- JT is kidnapped!
The man thinks he won a grant, for God's sake!
You need to calm down and think this through.
No, we need to save JT.
And we will, together.
JT?
(phone ringing)
No, it's me.
Tori, hey, look, I can't talk right now.
No, I screwed up.
Something's come up.
I exposed us to an FBI agent
for God sakes. I'm sorry.
I just feel like I can't do anything right anymore.
Tori, come on. Everything is out of control,
a little messed up right now, but I will talk to you
about this a little later, okay?
Did something happen?
What?
Yes. JT's been kidnapped.
Look, we got it under control. Don't worry about it.
Wait. I-I could help.
I'll talk to you later.
I saw him leave the party; I could track him.
(dial tone humming)
Look, I got to find JT, okay? I can't let them hurt him.
We're running out of time.
GABE: He's right.
Vincent...
They just sent another e-mail. It says, "Tick-tock."

You know, she came hoping that

You know why I shut people out?
Why I shut you out at first?
Because I was so worried that something like this
would happen to you.
People close to me, they get hurt.
Yeah, but that isn't your fault either.
You didn't ask to become what you are.
No, but I chose this path and I took Tori with me.
Anyone close to me is always going to be in danger,

he was behind everything.

the next guy after that and the next guy
after that until someone finally catches me?
You know, just like someone caught him.
How do you know Rebecca didn't save him?
How do you know she didn't die trying?
You know, Catherine, you gave me a chance
to walk away from all this,
to choose my humanity, to choose us...
and I made the wrong decision.
And it cost Tori her life,
and it almost cost JT his,
and I don't know what I would do
if something happened to you, too.
Vincent, that isn't your choice.
This is my story now, too.
I want to figure out how I'm connected to all this.
It's part of finding out who I am.
Hey.
GABE: Hey.
Look, I'm going to try and keep this as quiet as I can,
but it's gonna depend on
what the other kidnap victim's gonna say.
We're taking him down to the precinct now.
Did you find out who it is yet?
No. He's pretty traumatized.
I might need you to make a statement.
Yeah. Yeah, well, you know where to find me.
You want to be alone?
No.
I want to be with you.
Look, you know, I'm sorry that
I didn't tell you before about the beasts, it's just...
Trust me, now that I know,
I understand why you didn't tell me.
It's one of those things you got to see
-Yeah.
to believe, you know?
Does it help you, though, at all?
You know, 'cause of what happened to your husband?
Honestly, it helps more to know that we stopped these heists
and we got Barnes.
If I can actually link him
to Sam's murder, all the better.
Then maybe you can move on.
God forbid.
It's been six long years
trying to figure out what actually happened to Sam.
I haven't even thought about what happens next.
(knocking)
MAN: Excuse me, Detective Vargas?
Hi. Uh,
Yeah?
coroner just sent this over.
Apparently, the I.D. on that kidnapper
What do you mean, it doesn't match?
doesn't match.
Well, his real name's Frank Darnell.
He's got quite the rap sheet.
Racketeering, wire fraud...
-He's a con man.
-Let me see that.
He's right.
Looks like this guy was just a front man
for whoever Tony Barnes really is.
Where's the other victim, the guy in the cell?
He's being debriefed downstairs. Why?
Excuse me, I need to ask you
a few questions about Tony Barnes.
I'm Agent Landon, FBI.
Sam?
Dana.
Sam, you're still alive.
Oh, my God, Sam. Is it you?
Sam... your husband, Sam?
(sobbing)
How about that, huh?
Yeah, it's incredible, really.
(sobbing)
Want to get drunk?
No... I don't know, man.
Just go away.
Sorry, can't. You saved my life.
It's a cultural phenomenon, actually.
Life debts.
Technically, I can only repay it
by saving your life in return,
but since that's probably never gonna happen,
Except I'm the reason
I brought Scotch.
why your life was in danger in the first place,
which should cancel out any credit
I have for saving it.
Normally true, but in this case,
I am the real reason I got kidnapped.
Thought after eight years of trying,
I'd actually won that stupid grant,
so it was really my fault.
Still, Barnes used you to get to me,
-Excuse me.
so technically it is my fault.
But they also wanted my beast-serum-making expertise,
thank you very much. It's not always
all about you, you know.
Speaking of which...
did you ever figure out how to make that serum?
I don't know. I never got a chance to try it.
Thank God.
(sighs) Anyway,
back to whose fault it is...
No, JT, forget it, okay? You are wasting your time.
You will never win this argument.
You have protected me for years.
At great expense, too.
I mean, no way, buddy.
This one is all mine.
Actually, not really.
Okay, here goes.
So, the truth is...
I'm the one who volunteered you
for the Muirfield experiment originally.
Yes, me.
With good intentions, I might add,
but I'm still the one responsible
for you becoming a...
you know.
In hopes of keeping you safe in battle, but...
obviously it didn't work out that way.
You're right, you win.

Well, I'm glad that's settled.
So, uh...
what'd you do with the gem?
I buried it.
Somewhere where no one
will ever find it again, I hope.
(sighs) I don't know, man.
I'm so sorry I even ever found that damn thing.
You know, Tori-- she never did anything
to deserve what happened to her.
It's not like she volunteered for this beast serum
to be injected into her; she was born that way, you know?
She just... I don't know.
She never figured out how to live with it, I guess.
Who knows? Maybe you never can.
You have.
No, you have.
I mean, come on.
How many lives have you saved over the years?
-No.
-Really.
That's what you do, Vincent.
That's what you are, that's what you'll keep doing.
That's a good thing.
