"Vincent, I need you." "Someone took Evan." "(Peter screaming)" "(growling)" "I don't know how we cover this one up." "Evan heard the whole attack." "Be as normal as you can possibly be." "No one needs to know you have anything to do with us." "Whatever killed Peter, it wasn't entirely human." "Vincent, you all right?" "JT:" "He's dangerous, and if he's not in control of himself, somebody needs to be." "No, you can't keep him in that." "We are going to figure out a way to fix this."

"What, are you crazy?" "I barely have enough warning as it is before these fugues or these blackouts or whatever the hell they are." "Okay, but if being around Catherine really is the cause of these blackouts, forget synthesized endorphins." "Use the real thing." "Have her come over here." "She's seen you, Vincent, and..." "she hasn't run." "I don't know how much longer I can expect her to put up with all this if we can't find a cure to these blackouts." "That's fine." "A cocktail of endorphins and my good friend lorazepam to keep you chill while I evaluate your Catherine-allergic ass." "Otherwise my phone bill's a hit the roof." "(approaching footsteps)" "Hey." "New case." "You're not gonna believe this one." "Aliens landed and knocked over a liquor store?" "Thanks, Mulder." "In the meantime, we have an attempted murder." "And that's Special Crimes because...?" "Our vic is a celebrity." "Meet Jake Riley." "You may recall some of his songs being featured on the Billboard charts." "This is my partner, Detective Catherine Chandler." "Cat, this is Jake and his manager, Chris Miller." "Cat?" "Like, uh, Cat in the Hat?" "(chuckles)" "Well, cutie, you're looking at four number ones, three platinum albums." "Yeah, okay, so, diversity Barbie has had us waiting here till you showed up, and I'm running low on patience." "You do realize my client is the victim, yeah?" "He was shot at." "Mr. Miller, do either of you know someone who would want to hurt Jake?" "An enemy?" "(ringtone plays)" "One of my lady beings." "I'm in demand." "What's good, shorty?" "(chuckles)" "Yeah, baby, I miss you, too." "Probably shot me a lot." "It's crazy." "(door closes)" "Well, I didn't want the kid to see it." "CATHERINE:" "What?" "Fan mail?" "Yeah." "The more rabid ones." "And not all of them are exactly fans." "Hate mail." "Well, goes with the territory." "JR doesn't know about these." "And this doesn't even cover the social media ones." "Oh." "This one here... this one's particularly vocal." "No return address, and this recent development." "It's a good place to start." "JAKE:" "All right, beautiful, talk to you later, a'ight?" "Stay gorgeous." "Since he's a celebrity, Chief ordered a protection detail on him until we catch the perp." "Protocol has one of us on you at all times." "No way." "You won't even know they're there, and you can still do your thing." "He can still do his thing, right?" "See?" "A'ight." "Only if I get her, though." "Yeah." "I completely forgot it was Mud-bogging Day." "Did you ever think of, I don't know, stomping before you sneak up on someone?" "Seriously?" "What were you doing?" "I can't get what happened out of my head." "I went back." "To the subway tunnels?" "Evan, you were kidnapped and almost killed by a psycho frat boy." "Yeah, and then saved by some mysterious vigilante." "It's understandable that you're traumatized;" "what you went through was brutal." "It was." "But it's more than that, you know?" "It happened so fast." "I heard a psycho getting ripped apart by some thing, and then you saved me, bullets flying..." "Evan, whoever this vigilante is, it is not a "some thing."" "Cat, it's just, you were right there, and he was right there." "I was too busy trying to save your ass." "Well, you were the only one in a position to see him, and you say that you didn't, though." "What does that give us?" "What's less than nothing?" "Can't you just let it go?" "I never did thank you." "Well, I will exchange your gratitude for a favor." "(clears throat)" "Okay." "I was hoping that you could run the DNA from these letters through CODIS and the juvie system." "You really think that your shooter is some mall-dwelling teen?" "It's too early to rule anything out." "Could you put it to the top of your list?" "For the woman that saved me from an extremely traumatizing near-death experience... all right." "Thank you." "JT:" "Try not to kill me while I study you." "Ready?" "Yeah." "Feel anything yet?" "It's gonna be okay, dude." "(airplane flying overhead)" "VANESSA:" "It's gonna be okay."

"I'm ready for action, you know?" "Little more of these vitamin boosts and we'll be unstoppable." "Oh, yeah." "VANESSA:" "There will be limits, but the progress we're seeing is better than any outcome we could have projected." "(panting)" "Dude... what happened?" "You were like talking and then..."

"Being turned into a super-soldier complete with killer canines seems like a hard memory to "forget."" "Almost like those memories were suppressed by someone else." "You mean, by Muirfield."

"If Catherine's mom was part of all this, don't you think she needs to know?" "So she learns things about her mom that are gonna hurt her?" "No, I do not want her to get her involved, JT." "Vincent, you know Catherine." "When it comes to you, she wants to be involved." "No, but this was different, okay?" "She doesn't want to know that her mom was responsible for turning soldiers into monsters." "You can't protect her forever, man." "It's not just about her mom." "It's about you."

"The blackouts are a random side effect of the experiments." "How do you know?" "Because your mom told me." "Okay, your mom may have created us, but she was trying to stop these side effects." "I thought she was this doctor who helped people, but she did this to you." "You didn't, okay?" "You're not the cause of this." "Vincent, I am so sorry." "Don't be sorry."

"Why didn't you tell me?" "After all this time?" "I was scared, Cat." "I was scared that the mother you loved wouldn't be the woman I found in those boxes." "What boxes, Dad?"

"Catherine, listen to me:" "We are nothing more than our memories, our stories, the people we love." "How other people remember us." "Daddy, you didn't give me a choice."

"Damn, girl, ain't you ever heard of spin?" "Our managers baked it all." "You really think that stunt with Riley was legit?" "They're just trying to bump me off the cover of Tiger Beat." "Managers are really that tabloid-hungry?" "Drama sells." "Lady, you see this scar?" "I had to throw down in a bar 'cause my single was dropping the next day." "A year ago, Miller sent JR to rehab and the kid's as clean as my grandma." "They'd sell our souls." "So, you and Jake Riley don't hate each other?" "Nah." "He's leagues below me, yo."

"JT:" "Ooh, Mommy Chandler was a looker." "Not helping, JT." "So, Vincent saw your mom taking notes in an olive notebook both times." "It had to be where she kept her observation and research notes." "Okay, hold on." "Check the big box." "You know, I really don't need backseat detectiving." "Just trying to help." "It's not like it's gonna be labeled "Cure for Vincent."" "Got it." "Look for something that could be a formula, equations." "Okay, I have no idea what I'm looking at here." "Wait, uh, turn the page back." "Did you see something?" "JT:" "To see something you'll have to turn the page back so I can know if I see something." "It's a miracle that you have so many friends." "Hilarious." "Keep turning." "Keep going." "Stop, uh, uh, go back." "Uh, show me that last page." "What's the notation say at the bottom of the page?" "Psychogenic fugue." "Your mom's notes about Vincent's genetic makeup are crazy thorough." "She mentions side effects including memory loss and it looks like she was working on formulas to counteract them." "Only problem is to replicate these," "I need better equipment and Vincent's blood." "Better equipment like?" "A Spartan RX real-time DNA analyzer." "Okay, and where are we gonna find one of those?" "A police forensics lab." "That is a lot of cops." "Okay, you ready?" "How'd you get "you ready"" "off "That is a lot of cops"?" "I'm trying to move things along." "I know you're Sarah Connor with a kung fu grip and all, but I'm pee-in-your-pants terrified." "Okay, I'm gonna text you when we're leaving." "The outer door to the morgue-- it'll be open, so you don't need a security card." "Two lefts, then a right." "And you're right there." "But I can only buy you a couple hours at the most, so you need to make that serum fast." "Okay." "Good luck." "I'm so calling you Cat in the Hat until you're 40." "How could you leave me alone with him the whole day?" "Dad, Brooke, wedding nightmare." "By the way, it turns out that Jake's manager, Miller-- he had a publicity deal with Lil Tap That's manager." "That whole Twitter feud was staged." "You think Miller staged that shooting as a publicity stunt?" "I don't know, but I looked into his financials." "He withdrew large amounts out of his work account." "I think we got enough for a warrant." "I'm on it." "Uh, no." "No, you are not leaving me alone again to go gallivanting off." "Tess, I owe you big." "What else is new?" "(thump)" "How the hell you work this thing?" "Just think of him like he's Pinocchio." "You know, he just wants to be a real boy." "Good luck." "Victory is mine." "For you, Manslayer, an offering." "(quietly):" "Thank you." "Yeah." "Still waiting on those DNA swabs." "Actually, I am heading over to the manager's office." "I was hoping you'd come with me." "Where's Tess?" "She's playing nanny." "So, what do you say?" "Go out amongst the living?" "It's not really my job." "Come on, I'm partnerless, and you could use some field hours." "Besides, do you really want to sit around waiting for analysis on envelope spit?" "Point taken." "But you owe me one, and I plan on collecting." "♪" "♪" "EVAN:" "What makes you so sure that Riley's manager staged the shooting?" "Seems like a bit of a stretch." "After all the stunts he's had Jake pull in the past, not really, also unprecedented sizable bank withdrawal." "He withdrew 30 grand." "For what?" "Not a yacht." "If that's not a flag-raiser, I don't know what is." "Money probably went to the shooter." "What kind of person hires a gunman as a publicity stunt?" "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say a crazy person." "The shooter did miss, and Miller had this handy bag of possible suspects just waiting for us." "I have to admit, this is kind of fun."

"He expected you to die in that shooting or at least, it seems that way, which means that he arranged it."
