"I-I don't really drink anymore." "Oh, it's healthier." "Yeah." "Besides, it's too cold for champagne." "Oh." "Looks like it might snow outside." "No snow in Mexico." "So how's your Spanish?" "Uh, it's pretty rusty." "Look, Alex, uh... before we start laying down all these plans, um, I need to finish what I was trying to say before." "Okay." "Uh..." "There's a reason why I've been in hiding." "Are you worried I'm gonna reveal your identity?" "Because someone could try to beat it out of me." "I wouldn't say a word." "Alex, it's about your safety." "I know people are after you." "I mean, that's why we're going halfway around the world or to Mexico, to leave it all behind." "Some of it we can't leave behind." "Hey, I..." "I know there are risks, but I'm an E.R. nurse in New York City." "Nothing freaks me out." "Vincent." "I'm in." "I'm gonna make dinner." "Okay." "Hi." "Get your errand done?"

"Well, that's good, 'cause it's still only one of three dishes that I actually know how to make." "You sure you can't have some wine?" "I was part of a... experiment in the military." "Okay." "It's just that, uh..." "Well, it didn't go as planned, and that's what I needed to tell you.at, uh..." "So-so what, do you have post-traumatic stress or..." "Uh, no." "It-it's more complicated." "Um, I am more complicated." "You're not." "Maybe your circumstances are, but I know you." "No, you don't." "You don't." "I'm, uh, starting to feel like you don't want to do this." "I do." "Then what?" "Does your handler not think it's a good idea?" "Alex, I told you, it-it's complicated." "No, you said you were complicated." "I don't know;" "look, I'm just..." "I'm trying to do the right thing here, and I just..." "I want you to know what you're getting into." "Vince, I told you," "I'm in." "Look, people fantasize about leaving their lives all the time."

"I guess you saw me coming." "Yeah, uh..." "What's going on?" "I'm really sorry to bother you." "It's just..."

"Tell me about it." "Oh, where's your truck?" "A mile up the road, maybe." "About to give up when I saw the lights." "Can I, uh, take your car?" "Oh, of course." "Thanks, man." "Appreciate it." "It's starting to get really cold out here." "Be right back, okay?" "Okay." "JT." "Justin Timberlake, huh?" "I get that all the time." "We need to talk." "No, I don't need the DNA." "I'm just gonna present the cross..." "Cross-training." "I'm in, dude." "I'll buy you a soda, and we'll talk all about it." "Please tell me "buying a sod"" isn't a euphemism for something." "Yeah, for "your morgue is potentially bugged."" "You have to stop." "No more samples, no more, uh, analysis, no presentations." "I have to do that presentation to get our grant." "Forget the grant." "Okay, I didn't want to have to tell you, but... there's a secret organization that's obsessed with the same creature you've been studying." "A secret organization?" "Yes, and they will stop at nothing to keep others from finding too much out." "♪ Dunh-dunh-dunh." "I'm serious." "You need to walk away now." "Or what, some science nerd's gonna beat me up, make sure that I don't get the grant first?" "They've spent billions and billions of dollars developing genetic weapons." "And at any rate, who knows?" "Maybe this is something they've created and they're just trying to cover their tracks?" "There is way more at stake than some measly grant." "And you know this how?" "I just do." "You just do?" "Right." "Look, I know this sounds crazy, and-and I have no proof, but..." "You know, my first set of samples was stolen, my second was corrupted." "I'm starting to think that I've got a frustrated competitor working to derail my efforts so he can get his own recognition." "Wait, you think that I...?" "Okay, you have trust issues, buddy." "Me, Mr. "Secret Organization"?" "You know what, I'm gonna go work on my preparation and my measly grant." "Vincent?" "No, it's Catherine." "Chandler." "I'm sorry, I tried calling." "What are you doing here?" "I'm looking for Vincent." "It's urgent." "He's not here right now." "You want to come in?" "It's freezing." "Where is he?" "Is there something going on between you two?" "Alex, that's not what this is about." "That wasn't a "no""" "I just need you to tell me where he is." "He just went to help some guy with his truck." "He'll be back." "What guy?" "When was this?" "You just missed them." "He'll be right back." "Okay, what direction did they go in?" "I didn't notice." "What-what's going on?" "Is he in trouble?" "He might be-- that guy could have been a trap." "A trap?" "No." "He seemed totally harmless." "And how would anyone even know that we're here?" "There was a listening device in your apartment." "A what?" "Alex, he has a handler for a reason." "There are people that are tracking him." "You told me it was okay to take him away." "Because it wasn't my decision to make, it was his." "But he could've been more clear with you." "No, he has been clear, and I've dealt with PTSD before." "PTSD?" "Alex, I'm sorry, but I have gotta go find him." "Well, I'm coming with you." "No, he left you here for a reason." "But if he's in trouble..." "You are staying here!" "He is protecting you in more ways than you know." "Here, take this." "If anyone gets close to you, use it." "It's been making a weird noise for weeks." "I should've taken it in." "I just kept putting it off." "Hey, what are we doing?" "The truck's up..." "Hey!" "How many?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Benny's Garage?" "Grease under your nails." "If your truck was really broken down, you'd know how to fix it, right?" "Seriously, man, all I know is that I was supposed to meet my girlfriend an hour ago." "How many?" "Dude, I don't..." "Three." "What did they tell you?" "To get you to the truck." "And then?" "They'd take it from there." "They gave me a thousand bucks." "Told me they were bounty hunters." "I need the money." "They're not bounty hunters, and they don't like witnesses, so I'd start running." "What about my truck?" "Forget your truck." "Just get as far away from here as you can." "This cloak-and-dagger bit's wearing thin." "Lila Burrows." "Who?" "22-year-old female, blood clot, ended up dying on your table?" "Surprised you don't remember her, considering she's the reason you left England." "Records are sealed, but when you're being tracked by a secret organization, you acquire basic hacking skills." "I was cleared of everything." "Legally, but seems your conscience couldn't take it." "You left six weeks after the suit was filed." "You even changed specialties." "No tragic loss of life in a morgue." "What's your point?" "That this is something you don't want people to know, and I'll make sure they do, unless..." "You're blackmailing me?" "I'm trying to save your life." "I'm not asking for money, just for you to find something else to research." "Or what?" "You're gonna go running around the precinct spreading gossip?" "Those people are busy solving actual crimes." "This partnership, it's over." "♪" "It's clear." "What are you doing here?" "I found a bug at Alex's." "What?" "Narcotics did a raid because of her clinic." "You shouldn't be here, Catherine, it's dangerous." "So dangerous, you leave your fiancée alone?" "I'm trying to keep it away from her." "Keep what away?" "Whatever's out there, or the fact that you might transform?" "You can't help it, can you?" "Every interaction we have, you have to constantly remind..." "Every interaction?" "Yes." "The other day in the park, you said yourself, it's who I am." "You know that's not what I meant." "What about your dad's wedding?" "You know, I show up, we had one dance, you tell me to leave." "I had just found out you were mutating." "No, my DNA was mutating, not me." "And then I came after you." "Vincent, from the first moment I met you," "I have seen you as a person, and you know it." "This is your issue, it's not mine." "I told Alex about the experiment, okay?" "Yeah, she thinks you have PTSD." "That's the cover story I told my girlfriends over karaoke." "It's not a bad thing when someone knows the darkest parts of you." "They're here." "How many?" "Three." "Come on." "Okay." "Get down!" "I retract what I said before." "I'm glad you were here." "I get that you want a different kind of life." "Yeah, but even though I try and get away, they still find me." "Vincent, I didn't want you to have to hide from Muirfield and her." "Wait." "What?" "Alex..." "Stay away." "Alex, it's okay." "I saw you." "I saw everything." "Okay, just let me explain." "Okay." "Alex..." "Alex, put the gun down." "What you saw, that isn't who he is." "He's the same guy you've always known." "No." "Trust me." "Put the gun down." "Come on, Alex, put it down." "It's okay." "Okay, I'll be at the car." "The experiment that I told you about..." "Alex, they changed my DNA." "You ripped those men apart." "Please, I would never hurt you." "Okay." "I guess you know now why I stayed away all those years." "Is it permanent?" "I've been trying to find a cure." "But, uh..." "Alex, I'm sorry." "Okay, I-I just wanted to go away with you." "You know, somewhere peaceful where we could help people." "You know, I thought..." "I just thought it wouldn't happen." "I can't." "We can't." "I guess I got caught up in a fantasy." "I'm going to..." "drive myself home." "Yeah." "You are so busted." "You were with Ass, weren't you?" "Oh, my God, what happened?" "What happened is he needed me." "Cat..." "No." "No, I'm talking life and death." "Oh, my God." "Seriously?" "Is he okay?" "Yeah, he's..." "he's okay." "For now." "Cold turkey's so hard." "Yeah, I know I am supposed to be... strong and move on, but..." "But maybe being strong is following your heart no matter what?" "Just my own little theory." "I won't tell Tess." "Tess might actually like the theory." "She's been calling all night." "Some guy blew her off." "Oh, no." "Yeah, maybe you could bring over your leftover pint of ice cream." "I so do not want that in our freezer." "Actually, I have a better idea." "What do you mean you let Alex go?" "You think holding her hostage was going to help the situation?" "What if she tells someone?" "I-I mean, the cops searched her apartment." "They're going to want to talk to her." "You're right." "While you were frolicking in the woods, the cops got a warrant." "Somebody noticed all the medication" "Alex has been stealing for the clinic." "My prints..." "Catherine got rid of any trace." "Oh, man." "I am such an ass." "Can't say I'm going to argue with you there." "Ah, get it, I got to go." "Didn't expect to hear from you." "I didn't expect to call, but I found a bug in my office." "I'm assuming not a cockroach?" "I ran it for prints;" "they're classified, the prints." "Not to mention this is no low-tech, inexpensive device." "Look, uh, I'm not going to lie to you, it's not great." "It means you're on their radar." "But... bright side, now you can take precautions, protect yourself." "Well, I canceled the presentation." "There goes your grant." "Our grant." "About that blackmail thing..." "I was just trying to get my message across." "I don't want anyone to know." "But since you do..." "I send her family a check every month." "But you weren't found guilty." "Doesn't mean I don't feel it." "We all have skeletons." "Care to elaborate?" "No." "Point is, whatever happened, it's none of my business." "Forget I ever mentioned it." "Thank you." "Hey." "I'm actually just heading out." "Oh, this won't be long." "Um, I just..." "I need to say thank you." "For what?" "For this?" "Your photos and letters from Alex's apartment." "You know, I keep trying to move on, but it's kind of difficult with you." "I don't want you to." "Catherine, the things that I said about the way that you see me, it was wrong, okay?" "It's my issue." "I just, sometimes I wish so badly..." "I wasn't what I am." "Catherine, I know that I can't be with someone who doesn't know everything about me." "She does now." "Okay, who doesn't accept everything about me." "Vincent, I can't be your second choice." "You're not." "Really?" "Because if Alex had accepted you, you... you'd be with her right now." "In that ridiculously romantic cabin." "Not happily." "It was never about... taking off with Alex." "It was about a better future for me, okay?" "But I know now that that better future isn't her, Catherine." "It's you." "I will do whatever it takes to make this right." "Vincent, there's nothing you can do." "Obviously now that Muirfield's back and Alex knows, I will help, but..." "But you and me..." "I need to protect myself right now." "Cat, come on." "And I need to be there for someone who's always there for me." "Of course." "Hey." "I'm not going anywhere, okay?" "I'm telling you," "I'm the worst singer in the world." "It didn't stop you last time, come on." "And, seriously, I am not doing this by myself again." "Fine, what did you request?" "That you and I stay away from asses." "It's not going to be easy-- he already texted." "Don't text him back." "What am I saying, text him, don't text him, just know that if he breaks your heart again, I'm here." "I'm not heartbroken."
