NARRATOR: Previously on Beauty and the Beast:
Agent Thomas was shot and killed in a locked hospital room.
Another serum-enhanced superhuman took him out
which means whoever's behind this
doesn't want us to know what Agent Thomas knew.
We have to stop whoever's behind this before someone else gets hurt.
J. T: I've gone over my medical records a dozen times,
I shouldn't have survived that, I should be dead.
I can't ignore the fact that the same serum that saved me
was the same exact strain found in the other victims.
The other superhuman victims.
[SHOUTING]
What?
I'm sorry. Just give me a second.
- That's fine. - Sure.
- I'm glad we finally decided to do this. - Yeah, me too.
I think we're missing something with Zalman.
Catherine, I thought we were past all that.
I don't get why someone would steal a heart
- and just leave it in a freezer. - Excuse me?
- Oh, uh... No, it's just... - It's about a case, not about us.
Well, it kind of is about us.
I mean, it's the reason we finally decided to come here.
Not really.
I mean, yeah. Okay.
I think that you obsess about cases and you think I avoid them.
- Look, uh, Vincent and Catherine? - Cat. You can just call me Cat.
Okay. Look,
couples don't always know exactly what it is that brings them
to marriage counselling, but the fact that you wanted to come
that's a positive step.
It says how much you value the relationship,
how badly you want it to succeed.
So why don't we start at the beginning. How'd you first meet?
Oh, um...
[GROWLING]
We're in a bit of a rush, so maybe we could just...
- Skip ahead. - Yeah, maybe to our fight.
It wasn't a fight, it was a disagreement.
It was too a fight. You didn't even want to take the case.
- Could I...? - I was working a double shift.
That is not the reason. That is not the reason.
He was avoiding it, just like he avoided coming here.
Me? You wouldn't take the time to come here, either.
I mean, ever since she's had this greater purpose,
all she wants to do is case after case.
Bob and Carol tried to kill us, Vincent, they're still out there,
we can't just ignore that.
I'm sorry. Someone tried to kill you?
Bob and Carol. I was investigating a lead trying to save him.
Me? That's what this is about, right? You always saving me.
- No, no, it is... Maybe. - Okay. Clearly,
you both have avoidance issues and this case
seems to have brought them to a head, but in order to understand
what it is you're both really avoiding,
why don't we start with what caused this fight?
Disagreement.
Catherine, I can't really fight about it right now.
It's probably just dislocated,
but you better take him through X-ray anyway. You'll be fine, okay?
It's not a fight, maybe not a case,
but I think that we should look into it.
Bob and Carol still out trying to kill us,
we should explore every possible connection.
Okay, right, but it's been over two weeks
and they still haven't come after us, have they?
Doesn't mean that they won't.
Sooner we figure out who they work for the better. Captain in?
Look, Cat, I'm working a double shift.
I'm sorry, I can't talk right now.
One that you volunteered for.
Yeah, right, because of all the time I've taken off for all the other cases
I'm trying to make up time for.
- You're not avoiding me, are you? - What?
Come on, where's this coming from?
I don't know, it's just ever since we decided to postpone the wedding...
Yeah, because we decided that we were rushing things.
I know, I'm not blaming you.
It's just we haven't really made time for us lately.
If it wasn't for chasing down superhuman experiments,
we'd barely even see each other anymore.
How are we gonna get married if we don't even have time to be engaged?
Uh, okay, okay. You're right. You're right.
- Nine o'clock, Zalman Plaza. - Nine o'clock.
And, Cat, for the record,
I really hope this turns out to be more of a date night than a case night, okay?
Me too.
TESS: No, I'm excited for the challenge.
- Yes, thanks. My dad would be proud. - Tess, I've got a lead.
Sorry.
No, uh, chief, I promise, I won't let you down. All right.
And thanks again for the opportunity.
No bizarro cases, Cat, not my first week, please.
- I'm nervous enough as it is. - You kidding?
You're doing great, you were born to be captain.
And you're buttering me up. Cat, I'm begging you.
Come on, Tess, who commits suicide by drilling a hole in her head?
- What? - I've discovered a victim
who just happens to be an organ donor with a very rare blood type,
who also just happens to be the perfect match for a billionaire
who is in desperate need of a heart transplant.
So, wait, you think he had her killed by drilling a hole in her head?
It makes more sense than suicide, doesn't it?
All right. Where was the victim found?
In her locked apartment. With, you know, a drill in her hand.
But it doesn't make sense, which makes it a potential murder,
- which means that you, as captain... - Okay. All right.
You're trying too hard.
Look, Cat, we are best friends, and me as captain doesn't change that.
And I know that I owe you for this job, okay?
But you have to respect my new position, okay?
- It changes things. - I know.
I know, but what doesn't change is that there's still someone out there
experimenting on innocents, killing them.
Which means bizarro or not,
we have to do everything we can to stop it, don't we?
- All right. So this billionaire... - Zalman. Marshall Zalman.
You think Zalman is somehow involved in these experiments?
For all I know he's the one behind it.
I mean, he has the money, the means
and he has a track record that fits the MO
of someone who will do anything to get more power.
That's pretty circumstantial, Cat.
- I still don't see the connection. - Vincent and I are gonna go on a date,
the fundraiser Zalman's hosting at his hotel. I wanna see
what I can, you know, suss out.
- Captain, I got DA's office on Line 5. - Okay.
All right. Go suss, keep me posted.
Cat.
- This better not bite me in the ass. - No.
Oh, Alex, has J. T...?
I mean, Professor Forbes, has he called back yet?
ALEX: Nope, not yet.
[SIGHS]
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Heather, great, you here?
Okay. I'll be right down.
This better work.
Ow.
Ripped By mstoll
- Hey, there's Zalman. - Yeah?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, he really fits the description
of the big bad criminal, Catherine.
Wheelchair-bound billionaire philanthropist, needs a new heart.
And, lo and behold, finds one
in the only other AB, Rh-negative donor in Manhattan.
Who, by the way, showed no signs of depression and, in fact,
was training for a marathon just days before
- she supposedly killed herself. - Thought so.
This never really was a date, was it?
Okay, case-wise,
if Zalman is behind this,
then where is the serum-enhanced superhuman, Catherine?
Well, Zalman wasn't always a pillar of society,
maybe he's behind the experiments for himself to save his own life.
What? What? J.T. Was miraculously saved by the serum
and now he can heal his own bullet wounds.
Okay, yes, but listen to me, don't you worry
that this is all we ever do together anymore, just cases?
- Is that what you think? - You're the one who said it first.
And the more I think about it... I mean, what are we really doing here?
Okay, especially since, frankly,
it sounds to me like you're grasping at straws.
Well, at least I'm not avoiding straws.
Cat, Catherine, Catherine, no. No, no, no. Catherine, no. No.
Excuse me, Marshall Zalman? Detective Chandler, N.Y.P.D.
- What is this? - Catherine, Catherine.
- I have a few questions. - Can this wait?
It's all right, honey. Turn me around.
What's this about, detective?
- It's about your donor. - Catherine, this isn't the time.
He's gonna get a new heart tomorrow, Vincent.
If not now, then when?
- I know nothing about the donor. - Really?
Even the fact that she may have been murdered?
- What? - Breathe, Marshall, relax.
Are you out of your mind?
All right. I think we should go now, come on.
Vincent, a woman was killed so that he could have her heart,
and since recipients aren't supposed to know who their donors are
- I would like to know if you did. - I insist you leave, now.
Okay, Catherine, as a doctor I'm telling you this is not a good time.
And I am telling you as a cop, I do not have a choice.
All right.
Yes, I knew who the donor was.
Because I had my people search. I had to know if I had a chance.
I had to know if there were people out there...
- So, what, you had her killed? - No! I had no idea that...
BELINDA: Calm down, Marshall.
CATHERINE: Think I'm grasping at straws?
That what this is about? You trying to prove me wrong?
You didn't believe me, you didn't want to come.
That's not true, I just... I didn't want tonight to be
about what it's always about.
If you don't like something avoiding me is the answer?
- God's sake. I am not avoiding you. BELINDA: Marshall?
Oh, my God, help. Oh, God, Marshall.
Get the defibrillator.
There's an emergency, Zalman Plaza, hurry. Heart attack.
Whoa, whoa, let me get this straight. Your fight caused a heart attack?
- Did the man die? - No.
No, and in all fairness, he was about to have a heart transplant.
- And he was guilty. - Guilty of what, of wanting to live?
Of breaching the donor registry. That's against the law.
Yeah, I know.
It doesn't mean he was guilty of experimenting on...
Uh... On things that he shouldn't be experimenting on.
- We did not know that. - Okay. Guys, look,
a lot of issues coming up here, avoidance,
and needing to save one another, it's great. It's great.
It's just what we wanna do is we wanna try and untangle issues
so we can identify the real problem.
Earlier, Vincent, you said that you thought that
Cat resented you for always having to save you,
what did you mean by that?
Uh...
Let him go.
Well, actually...
Vincent, wait!
[GROWLS]
I...
- Skip ahead. - Okay. I'll just... I'll just skip.
Okay. What about you, Cat? When Vincent suggested that these
cases, they were the only thing keeping you together,
how'd you feel about that?
- Actually, she suggested it. - I felt angry.
- And why did it make you feel angry? - I don't know. It hurt.
- I don't want to have that be true. - But it's not true.
But you think it is.
No, it's just that I feel that we spend all of our time on cases now,
- that's all. - Well, we don't have much of a choice.
How come?
Well, it's complicated, actually,
but the bottom line is that we're better together.
It's true, we are.
So you both feel that way?
- Absolutely. - Yeah.
Interesting.
It's just that I get the feeling that we're talking about the symptoms
and not the larger problem.
So maybe if we could see why you weren't working
so well together on this particular case?
- Coming through. - He's stable, I don't know for how long.
- The donor prepped? - OR-4, transplant team.
- Good. Cardio en route? - Inbound in 20.
All right. Get Mr. Zalman prepped right away. Come on.
- He'd better survive this. - I'm sorry?
What that detective did to Marshall was unforgivable.
I know, Mrs. Zalman, but with all due respect,
your husband admitted breaking the law.
The detective was simply doing her job.
But doing her job may cost him his life, Dr. Keller, what about that?
Just keep her away from him, do you understand me?
I didn't sacrifice my whole life for him to lose him now, he'd better survive.
If he doesn't, I will sue the N.Y.P.D. And this hospital
for everything that they're worth.
For the record, I was right about Zalman knowing the donor.
Yeah, that means he's some rich guy trying to cut corners
to save his own life, not behind the experiment.
Really? Because I just spoke to the donor's sister
who told me that April, that's the donor, was actually sickly most of her life.
Oh, really? Because you told me she was training for a marathon.
Exactly. But that was after she underwent experimental treatments
that supercharged her immune system.
- Sound familiar? - First of all,
that could be a legitimate experiment, and second,
even if they were serum-enhanced, Zalman could have never found
that information off the registry.
Unless he's the one behind the experiments and he knew
April was a match, so he experimented on her to make her healthy for him.
Stop, stop, are you even listening to yourself?
Yes, and to me I sound like I'm making sense.
No, you sound like you're doing anything and everything
to manufacture a case that doesn't exist.
- Vincent, why would I do that? - I don't know,
but the last time we rushed into things, we almost got blown up
along with my houseboat.
I really thought we had learned our lesson.
How can we learn our lesson if we don't even have time
- to talk to each other? - Is that why you're doing this?
So we can find time to talk to each other?
No, I am doing this because I think he's the bad guy,
and if J.T. Finds out that April's blood is serum-enhanced
just like the rest of the experiments, I am one step closer to proving that.
- Why are you fighting me on this? - Because I don't believe it.
Look, ever since we got engaged, all you want to do is throw yourself
into case after case after case.
Okay. Obviously we are avoiding dealing with our issues here.
But if I'm right about Zalman,
then there is no way he's getting April's heart.
[EKG BEEPING]
[EKG FLATLINING]
Four hours, that's it.
Time of death, 3:22 p.m.
J. T: I'm telling you, this whole thing doesn't make sense.
I mean, you saw me, Heather, I broke my femur,
my fibula, but they healed before you even got me to the hospital,
I'm, like, invincible.
But it also scares the hell out of me
because I don't want to turn into one of those superhuman freaks.
No, I don't want to bother Tess, she's crazed.
I'm just hoping the antidote I came up with works.
I gotta go, I'll call you back.
- Hello? - J.T., Catherine's gonna send you
a blood sample and she'll want to know if it's enhanced,
but I need you to slow-walk it for me.
- What? Why? - Just trust me,
I'm trying to save a man's life here and save Catherine from herself.
Oh, wait, hold on, I got another call.
- Hello? - J.T., I'm sending you a blood sample.
How soon can you find out if it's enhanced?
Enhanced, what do you mean enhanced?
You know. I don't have a lot of time.
Well, maybe you and Vincent should talk first, you know.
Vincent? Did he call you about this? Did he tell you not to help me?
- Hold, please. Hello? - Have you talked to Cat?
She's not answering her phone and Belinda threatened to sue.
- She's on the other line. - Put her on, I wanna talk to her now.
Hold on.
- Tess needs to talk to you. - I don't have time to talk to Tess.
- You're not Cat. - Cat? Is she on the other line?
- Put her on, man, I need to talk to her. - Hold on.
Both Vincent and Tess need to talk to you.
- I am Tess. - Sorry, hold.
Vincent and Tess need to talk.
I don't want to talk to Vincent, I want to find out about the sample.
- Cat doesn't wanna talk to you. - What?
- You're not Vincent. - Get me Cat.
I knew this would bite me in the ass.
Yeah, well it will be nice if someone cared about my ass.
I got issues I'm dealing with too, okay?
- J. T? - J. T?
Whoa!
- What are you doing? You call J. T? - Where are you going?
- You ask him to stall me? - Yes, I was trying to save you.
Save me? I'm trying to solve these cases to save you.
Save me from what?
From going primal, from losing it, from losing you.
I am trying to save us.
[ALARM WAILING]
- What's going on? - I don't know.
- Hey, hey, what's going on? - Something about a transplant.
- A heart's missing. - Great.
You know, I've been doing this for a long time, marriage counselling.
And, uh...
Hmm... Mm.
I got to say, this whole thing is very
unique.
More to the point, I mean, it's brought up a lot of premarital concerns,
a good thing, just like I said before, we gotta untangle them
- to find the real underlying issue. - Okay.
What is it?
I think I need a little bit more information.
But this curious attachment you both have to these kinds of cases,
as well as your obvious resentment for feeling like you have to
quote, "Save each other all the time."
- No, that's not true. - I think that's true.
GLENROY: Hmm.
Your lives are unusually intertwined, is that fair to say?
- Yes. - Absolutely.
And has it always been that way?
Vincent!
You really do love each other, don't you?
More than anything.
Then why don't we find out what really caused this fight?
There was something special about April's heart,
- why else would someone steal it? - Okay.
Why would Zalman have it go missing if he needs it now?
- They're ready for surgery. - I don't have an answer,
but the fact is somebody wants it whether it's Zalman or not.
Anyone who needed it could've taken it, okay? It's a rare blood type.
- Doesn't mean it's not enhanced. - Doesn't mean it's not black market.
Organ waiting lists are so long, these go for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Every instinct in my body says this is somehow
- connected to experiments. - Every instinct in my body
- says this is a wild-goose chase. - We have to find that heart.
- To save Zalman's life. - Find out who's behind all this.
- In less than 4 hours. - Let's go our separate ways.
- Fine. - Fine.
Dr. Keller? What's going on?
Why hasn't my husband's surgery started?
Is this because of that detective somehow?
No, it's because the heart is still in transit.
But I thought it was already here.
No, no, but it will be, okay? I promise. I'm sorry, excuse me.
I don't know what I would do if I lost him,
you know?
We've been together for over 20 years.
I watched him build his company up from scratch
and now he's willing to give it all away to that foundation.
We're inseparable.
TESS: What do you mean you and Vincent separated?
Since when don't you two work together, are you guys fighting?
Weren't you talking about seeing a marriage counsellor?
Right now I'm more worried about April's heart than mine.
Did you get a plate from the hospital camera?
Yes, okay. The getaway car is a rental near 102 and Lex.
- It was just returned. - Okay, I'm on my way.
You want me to send backup?
Not unless you want this case to really bite you in the ass.
Tess, I am convinced this heart is enhanced.
- Well, has J.T. Confirmed that yet? - I thought you were gonna call him.
I've tried, he's not answering my calls. I think he's mad at me.
Actually, no, I know he's mad at me.
Yeah, one second.
But I will be mad at you if you do not find that heart
before this case bites us both in the ass, got it?
Copy that.
[GLASS SHATTERS]
Freeze, scum. Hands in the air.
"Scum"? Really? Maybe we do need counselling.
What are you doing here?
The same thing you're doing here, looking for a missing heart.
- And you tracked it here? - Well, I'm trying to,
but the closer I seem to get, the weaker the scent becomes
it's like, I don't know, like there's blood all over the place.
And you're sure you tracked it here?
No, I'm not. Like I said, I'm trying to, but it's like there's blood...
Everywhere.
Ten bucks says that's the thief.
Wait, so somebody killed the thief and then stole the heart from him?
What the hell is going on with this case?
I don't know, good question,
but we have got less than two hours to figure it out.
Which means we gotta stop avoiding each other and start working together
before Zalman dies.
All right. I'll keep you posted.
Tess is sending Forensics. Any sign of the cooler?
No, I don't think the thief would've brought it here,
otherwise I wouldn't have lost the scent.
He probably stashed it nearby until he was sure he got paid.
Why would somebody hire a thief to steal the heart
then kill him before actually getting it?
All I know right now is the heart is out there somewhere.
We gotta find it fast to save Zalman.
He may end up with a supercharged heart.
Or die waiting for it. I'm gonna go see if I can pick up the scent.
Okay.
J.T., any news on the donor's blood sample?
Listen, I don't wanna get in the middle of something here,
so unless you and Vincent can agree...
- It's okay, we're working together now. - You are?
See? You didn't even need a marriage counsellor.
- J.T., the sample. - Right. And, well, you were right.
The donor was definitely enhanced.
Same charged leukocytes as in
my blood.
Are you okay?
Yeah, but she's not.
I mean, I know she's dead, so not "her" her but her heart.
- What about it? - Whoever did this
probably wanted to see how powerful the serum really is,
see if it could supercharge even a sickly person.
But maybe it supercharged her heart too much, overloaded her system.
Probably made her head feel like it was gonna explode,
made her go crazy.
She tried to relieve pressure by drilling a hole in her head.
Which means you were right, it wasn't suicide.
Whoever is behind these experiments drove her to it.
Even if we can find the heart in time,
same thing will happen to Zalman.
- Unless my antidote works. - Antidote?
How do you have an antidote?
Well, I've been working on one for me.
I mean, cool as it is to have a super power,
I really don't want to end up like all the other victims.
I didn't realise that you were worried about this.
It's okay, I'm not. Much.
I don't even know if the antidote works,
so the sooner you get me the heart, the sooner I can try it.
Maybe normalize it before the transplant.
- Yeah, if we find it. - Catherine!
Okay, I gotta go. I'll call you back.
A meat-packing plant?
Yeah. Like I said,
blood everywhere. No wonder I couldn't pick up the scent.
It's very confusing.
The freezer.
- Got it. - Okay, come on. Let's go.
GLENROY: It's amazing.
No matter how hard you both try to separate from each other,
you seem to be drawn back together whether you like it or not.
- You know what co-dependency is? - Co-dependency?
- Yeah, it's... - You lose yourself in a relationship.
Your separate selves, yes. Oftentimes, to an unhealthy degree.
You don't think that's us though, is it?
Well, I mean, no, not in the classic sense
of when people define their entire existence by their partners
in an unhealthy way,
but there are certain aspects of co-dependency in your relationship
and I think, frankly, that's what the underlying issue is here.
And it is what caused this fight.
Hey, no, no, it's a good thing.
It means that you're chafing at the co-dependency, you don't like it.
That's what finally brought you here.
- And it manifested itself in the case? - Exactly.
[SIGHS]
Look, you both obviously have a special love.
You just gotta be careful not to lose your separate selves along the way.
Even though, as you say, and as you've clearly shown,
you're better together.
- Yeah, it's locked. - So? Beast out.
Beast out? Have you seen how thick that door is?
Well, we have gotta get out of here somehow.
Okay. Let's not fight about it, I know you want to solve this case.
Who cares about the case? I don't want to freeze to death here.
- Okay, all right, settle down. - Okay.
- Vincent? - I told you, it's thick.
Okay. I don't want to put any pressure on you or anything,
but now would be a really good time to go full beast.
- Full beast? - Yes.
Really? So all the times you've told me how tired you are of talking me down
- going primal... - Now is not the time
to worry about my feelings.
But thank you for caring, I do appreciate it.
- I do love you. - I love you too, Vincent.
Now, blast the freaking door down, will you?
[GROWLING]
See how well we work together?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Okay, really running out of time... - Please stop reminding me.
Okay.
CATHERINE: What if the antidote doesn't work?
We can't give Zalman a supercharged heart, can we?
We can't just let him die, either, can we?
He's gonna die either way.
Well, at least this way buys us time to try and save him, okay?
We don't have to worry about that.
The antidote worked. The heart's not enhanced anymore.
- Are you sure? - Positive.
Okay.
Thanks.
Bodes well for me and all the other victims.
You're so good, J.T. I gotta go.
Go. Go.
Is that it? Is it still good?
Yeah, they're preparing your husband for surgery.
Oh, thank God.
What's she doing here?
Actually, Catherine recovered the heart, Mrs. Zalman.
She may have just saved your husband's life.
Why the turnaround, detective?
I thought you thought my husband was the bad guy.
I was wrong, I'm sorry.
There's somebody out there doing really bad things to people,
Mrs. Zalman, and I was trying to stop it.
I've been a little obsessed with this case, for personal reasons.
I'm working on it.
Well, let's just hope
for all our sakes, that Marshall survives.
Excuse me.
Ouch.
I guess we got a few things right and wrong about the case, huh?
I know. Brought up a few issues, didn't it?
About how you keep obsessing over the cases?
- And how you avoid them. - What?
- Yes. - Okay.
Maybe marriage counselling isn't such a bad idea.
You were supposed to make sure they didn't find the heart.
And now we have to make sure my husband doesn't get it.
- How do you feel? - Good.
I think it's great we finally went to marriage counselling, don't you?
Absolutely. I mean, knowing that we've been co-dependent,
me always feeling the need to save you.
Me not liking it because it makes me feel vulnerable, right?
Yeah, knowing the problem makes it feel easier to solve.
Totally agree.
- See? We're better already. - Yeah.
- Uh, what is it? - Nothing.
Catherine, we just paid 150 bucks to learn to listen to our separate feelings,
- please, what is it? - Okay, okay, but don't be mad.
- Okay. - It's just something about that case.
Here we go again.
Stealing a heart but not really wanting it,
- I just can't wrap my brain around that. - Oh, God.
- Who are you calling? - Counsellor. I have one question.
- But we just left. GLENROY: Hello?
Dr. Glenroy? It's Catherine. Cat.
- Hi, is everything all right? - Yeah, good, great.
Um, about co-dependency.
You said that people can define their existence by their partner
- in unhealthy ways, right? - Uh, if not caught and corrected, yeah.
Ever in destructive ways?
- Mrs. Zalman? - Yeah.
She said she'd given up her whole life for him.
What if she didn't like that he was giving everything they had to his foundation?
In extreme situations when the spouse is unable to separate him or herself
from the co-dependency any other way,
- they have been known to... - Kill their spouses?
- In extreme situations, yeah. - Okay. Thanks, doc, call you back.
If that's so, she had the motive to steal the heart so he couldn't have surgery.
Yeah, put an end to the co-dependency and stay rich.
It makes sense, although if she is behind it all,
then how do we know she's not still trying?
Shut the whole hospital down, I don't care.
Just do it, he's probably halfway through the surgery by now.
She's not here.
That's odd, considering her husband's in the middle of transplant surgery.
Operating rooms are over here. Backup generators too.
This is it.
Hurry up.
Make it look like a short.
If this leads back to me, it leads back to you.
I don't know, she must have gotten nervous
knew we were onto her and bolted, right?
Or like you said, she's not giving up.
That backup generator should've kicked in by now.
She must've gotten to those too.
This is bad if they're in the middle of Zalman's surgery.
Can you help? You've got beast vision or something, right?
- Yeah, but I'm no surgeon, Catherine. - You're his only hope.
- Where are the generators? - East wing, basement.
Catherine.
Kick her ass.
Where the hell's the backup? Start cranking the bypass.
- What can I do? - Who are you?
I'm Dr. Keller. I can see in the dark, I'm scotopic, just please let me help.
You, you, bag the patient, you, finish the aorta.
MAN 1: Okay, we're prepped. MAN 2: Suture.
WOMAN: Ready sutures.
Freeze! You're under arrest.
Go! Get out of here!
[GRUNTING AND SHOUTING]
Okay, just tell me where you need me.
- Temperature's dropping, doctor. - What's the BP?
- Hurry, we're almost out of time. - Stable.
We did it.
And separately.
And he said we're co-dependent.
- You got her. - Oh, yeah.
At JFK, about to get on a private jet to who knows where.
- Nice work, captain. - Yeah.
At least I don't have to worry about her suing the department now.
- How's her husband? - He's gonna pull through.
Without becoming a superhuman monster.
Great. It all worked out.
I am sensing passive-aggressive.
I'm sensing someone who's been in therapy.
Look, Cat, we can't keep doing this, all right?
I'm not your partner, I'm your captain.
- I know. - Do you?
Because I can't keep covering for you.
And it's not that I don't want to, you know that I do.
But this kind of stuff, I mean, come on.
It's what cost Joe his job a couple years ago
- and I don't want it to cost me mine. - I understand.
But what are we supposed to do?
Because unlike Joe, you do know what's really going on.
- We can't just ignore that. - I know.
It's a balancing act, Cat, but that said, it's my life too, okay?
- I don't want this beast stuff to... - Bite you in the ass?
Exactly.
Right. I have to get to an interrogation and bust a guy for attempted murder,
- thanks to you. - Doing my beast job.
Okay. Wait, wait. I know that you're really swamped right now,
but maybe you should talk to J.T. I think that he's feeling,
let's just say that you don't want your life to be all about your cases, either.
I cannot believe it.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Zalman, I really am. - I had no idea.
I thought Belinda was happy, you know?
We'd been together 20 years.
No idea she resented me like that.
Well, I guess it can happen to the best of us.
Obviously not to this extent,
but I guess if you don't catch it early in a relationship...
Look, Mr. Zalman, for what it's worth, you helped me catch it early in mine.
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
you saved my life.
[SIGHS]
Hey.
- Mad at me? - No.
- Yes. - Maybe. A little.
J.T., I'm sorry. I am, I'm sorry.
I know that you've been going through a lot of stuff
and I know you're a little scared
- about what's inside you... - I'm not scared.
Okay.
All right, look, if you know me so well, where have you been, huh?
Yeah, I'm scared and yes, I'm mad. Not at you, I'm just...
- Just what? - I don't know.
Mad at the gods, I guess. For doing this to me.
I mean, look, the serum saved my life,
but now it's teasing me with super cool powers
and God knows what it's gonna do to me next.
- But Cat said the antidote... - It doesn't work on me.
I tried it, twice.
Worked on the heart, but maybe the serum's been in my body too long,
- fused with my cells or something. - Are you sure?
Want me to fling myself down the stairs again and prove it?
Okay. Listen to me, you do not have to go through this alone,
do you understand me? I don't care how busy I am, I don't care what I'm doing.
This matters to me. You matter to me.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Are you awake?
- No. What? - I think we should close the window.
Why?
Because we are no closer to figuring out
who's behind all this which means Bob and Carol are still out there.
- Bob and Carol? - Yes.
- Superhuman assassins. - Yes.
And you think closing the window is gonna stop them?
Come on, I thought we're not supposed to be talking
- about cases for once, right? - Give me a break, Vincent,
our lives have been like this for over two years,
- it's gonna take me time to adjust. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah. - Well, I think I've got just the thing.
- Do you? - Mm-hm.
- That will help. - I thought so.
