David MacLeod directed the episode written by Wendy Straker Hauser (#309). Original airdate 8/6/2015.
Ep 9:
Vincent stares out the window. Cat gets up. He didn't sleep. He offers her coffee. She asks if he's going to get stitches. No. Don't need them. He says we need to track Liam and fast. She repeats that this isn't our fight. Vincent says Liam isn't like any other murderer. She says this isn't our fight. I know what we're up against now and I'm scared. DHS was wrong to get us involved. This was too much. Vincent says isn't it what we do, saving innocents? She says yes, as a cop and doctor. He says you said you thought we were part of something bigger. She says I was wrong. This is way over our heads. I'm done. She leaves.
He tells JT. JT can't blame Cat. You guys have done a lot for a long time. Lucky you're still alive. Her argument has merit. Vincent knows, but if we're the only ones that know about Juliana, how can we do nothing? JT says Cat will come around eventually. Vincent says I can't wait. Liam's track will go cold. How is the serum coming? JT hasn't made much progress. Vincent says let's hope Cat comes around. He leaves to try to track Liam.
Chief with Tess. You don't have time, Captain. The dept. needs suspects for Juliana's murder. You're better than this. You should've had a working theory by now. Cat busts in. Cat has a suspect. The Interpol terrorist. Liam.
Tess says she was trying to not connect Liam, the supernatural crap, to this. Cat says we don't have to lie for this. Let's build a case. Prove Liam killed her and move on with our lives. Tess says if we arrest him, then what? Cat says we can't do this by ourselves. If we corner him with a lot of cops, he won't use his powers. He won't want to be exposed. Someone got caught trying to steal Juliana's body from the morgue.
Vincent. Cat asks what are you doing here? He says I wasn't trying to steal the body, just get a scent for Liam. All the blood was drained from the body post-mortem. Cat's going to interview witnesses and try to prove Liam did this. She says I have to bring you in for questioning. Don't make me arrest you, honey.
Tess confronts Cat about bringing Vincent in. Cat says it's for show. Tess says you're not thinking this through. Cat says Juliana did stuff on your watch and the only way to save your rep is to catch Liam.
Tess with Vincent. He's ranting. Tess says Cat feels responsible and is afraid. Vincent says we have to stop Liam. Tess says bad things happen when you and Cat aren't in sync.
Cat gets in her car and Vincent and JT and Tess are inside. They go to the apartment. Cat says what, you don't want normal lives anymore? Heather asks what's going on? She brought the presents from the church. JT asks Cat what changed? Vincent says you used to believe in the bigger purpose. JT and Tess agree. Vicent says we have to stop Liam. Cat says we can't fight every fight. Heather agrees with Cat. I don't want to lose any of you or me. I don't by into your argument about destiny. Cat's being very responsible. Cat appreciates the concern, but I'm not changing my mind. I'm not going to stop until I get us off this path. Tess goes after her. Vincent tells Heather you just put a lot of people's lives at risk. Liam is going to be out there and innocents will die. It's not just our lives at stake. You get that? She says yeah and runs out.
JT finds Heather. Vincent's never been that mad at her before. JT says he's worried about Cat. Heather asks why Vincent is so willing to risk Cat's life. JT gives her the journal. It belonged to Cat's Aunt Rebecca. Rebecca fell in love with a Beast. Cat saw she and Vincent were following in the footsteps of her ancestor. She and Vincent are destined to do more. Just read it. It's hard not to believe.
Mental Institution. Tess says asylum's creep me out. Cat says it's a stake-out. Waiting for Liam to go after Juliana's first experiment. Cat brought the tranq gun. Tess wants to call Vincent. Shots fired upstairs. Vincent leaps out a window and hides behind a car. The shooter isn't Liam. Cat asks him if she's alright. He says yeah. He tracked Liam here. But Zane's dead. I was too late. She says we have to talk.
Vincent checked out in the hospital. No signs of concussion. Next time, take the elevator. Vincent said he fell down some stairs. If I hadn't Beasted out on the fall, I'd probably be dead now. She chews him out for risking himself. He says all I have to do is pick up the trail of the hitman again and hope it leads me to Liam. This isn't a police case. She says it's Homeland Security's case. I'm going to give it back to them.
Heather goes to JT's. JT isn't having good luck experimenting on the serum. Heather says the journal is a terrible story. JT says because Cat read the journal, she saved Vincent. You think it's a coincidence that Cat met Vincent like Rebecca met Alastair? If she quits, it's a huge mistake if she and Vincent have a greater purpose. Heather still isn't convinced. So JT says you need to talk to Cat's father.
Cat and Tess with the Chief. Cat tells him a good tale to give the case back to DHS. He agrees. Tell DHS it's their case. It's no longer our problem. You're off the hook, Captain.
Tess hopes Cat knows what she's doing. Cat says let's finish this once and for all.
Tess and Cat take the case to DHS. He asks why my agents took this to you? She says to get help finding Juliana. DHS agrees to take this over from here. Send over the rest of your files and we're done. They leave.
Tess asks Cat how she feels? It's good. It's it? Cat asks I thought you'd be happy.
Heather and JT with Reynolds. JT asks what happened to Rebecca after Alastair died. Rebecca was murdered. Probably the same Beast. He says I didn't believe, either, but now Vincent and Catherine are meant to be together. Rebecca and Alastair were fighting the same fights, but they lost. If Catherine quits, she could die, too. Vincent and Catherine can't fail. They'll come looking for her whether she's looking for them or not.
Vincent tracking. He enters a building. A house. A blood drainage taking place. He shoots at Vincent. The man begs for help when the assassin runs.
Vincent calls Cat and says Liam is going after more victims. He went after Alton Finn. Liam's after everyone, cured or not.
JT and Heather. Heather is still doubtful. Phone rings. JT answers. Are you alright? Liam attacked Alton. Cat says get out of there now. Shots fired through the windows! JT and Heather get low.
Heather asks JT why they want you. He says they want my blood. He tells her to go to the vault. They try to run. Assassins in the house. JT closes them in the vault.
Tess can't reach JT or Vincent. Cat feels guilty. Tess says it's not your fault.
JT loads guns. Tries to get the old security system running. They see plastic explosives attached to the vault door. Brace themselves for the blast.
Vincent gets there in Beast mode and starts killing. Tess and Cat shoot the last before he shoots Vincent. Heather and JT come out. JT says you believe in destiny now?
Police at the scene. DHS there, too. He says this doesn't add up. Cat says that's the million dollar question, right?
Tess says this means your back? Cat told Vincent to leave before the sops came. Heather went for a walk. JT says you might want to join her.
Cat finds Heather. Are you okay? They laugh. Heather says it's a crazy life you lead, Cat. I met your father today. He had some pretty interesting things to say about you, and Rebecca. JT cares about you, too. I don't think you can just quit this. It all comes back around to you whether you want it to or not. The more I think about it, the more I realize maybe this is your path, yours and Vincent's. For whatever reason.
The bar. Tess tells JT to spill. What's the matter? So? He says it's not your problem anymore. He says I thought I was cured. Past this serum stuff. Tess says that doesn't mean you're not cured. You haven't had any symptoms. Just because Liam is a maniac, it doesn't prove that's in you. JT says he'll still be after me as long as he thinks it is.
Vincent on the roof. Cat finds him. Vincent is starting to think Cat is right. We can't stop Liam by ourselves. But. We're in danger, anyway. She says despite everything, everyone's behind this greater purpose thing. He says if you're not in it, it doesn't matter. We don't have a greater responsibility to ourselves, too. I'm says I'll do what you want to, because we need to move together. She says, then let's get Liam together.
Next week - facing off with Liam again.
