- Vincent Keller: [at crowded restaurant] Did you get those concert tickets yet?
- Catherine Chandler: Concert tickets? I'm still working on it.
- Vincent Keller: And what else are you working on, hmm? Maybe things that go *bump* in the night?
- Catherine Chandler: Hey, give me a break.
- Vincent Keller: Should I call the marriage counsellor now or later?
- [sits down]
- Catherine Chandler: After two years of defining ourselves mostly by whatever those *things* are, it's hard to break the habit, especially when there are still superhuman assassins out there after us.
- Vincent Keller: Catherine, come on, it's been weeks since Bob and Carol tried to attack us.
- Catherine Chandler: They didn't try to *attack* us, Vincent. They tried to kill us. And just because it's been a while, it doesn't mean that they're...
- [catches herself]
- Catherine Chandler: I'm doing it again, aren't I?
- Vincent Keller: Yes, you are, but you... you caught yourself. That's awesome.
- Catherine Chandler: I know. Thank you. But still, we can't just ignore the fact that there are people still experimenting on innocents out there, can we?
- Vincent Keller: Well, I can't just let the world's great evils keep overwhelming our lives all the time either. Otherwise...
- Catherine Chandler: ...we'll lose ourselves along the way.
- Tess Vargas: [re saddling Catherine with a rookie] Since I took over this precinct, I'm under a ton of pressure to get the numbers up. And that means getting the next generation of detectives up to snuff.
- Catherine Chandler: Okay, but why me?
- Tess Vargas: Because this is my ass on the line! I need you here. I need you present, Cat. Not hunting beasts or mutants, or whatever freaky things are threatening the world. I can't always cover for you.
- Catherine Chandler: Okay. Anything else?
- Tess Vargas: Yes, actually. Do not go pestering J.T. either. I know that he's helping you track down Bob and Carol, but he has his own issues to deal with.
- Catherine Chandler: Why, what's going on?
- Tess Vargas: It's, uh, healing factor in that serum, it's... accelerating.
- Catherine Chandler: Is he okay?
- Tess Vargas: [nods] Better than okay. His... vision's suddenly perfect.
- [shakes her head]
- Tess Vargas: He doesn't even need his glasses anymore
- Catherine Chandler: Wow, that is huge!
- Tess Vargas: Yeah, and scary,
- [nods]
- Tess Vargas: because he can't figure out a way to extract it from his system. So that's what he needs to be doing with his time, not figuring out the mythological mysteries of Catherine Chandler. Understand?
- Catherine Chandler: Yes.
- [turns around to leave office]
- Tess Vargas: Just because you're dating a police captain doesn't mean you can kick in other people's doors.
- J.T. Forbes: Vincent does it all the time. Why can't I have a little fun?
- Detective Wesley Atchison: [re sniper victim] Why would an assassin wanna kill a random restaurant owner? I don't see the connection.
- Catherine Chandler: I'm the connection.
- Carol Hall: I know how much you love Vincent. I guess I should say "loved him."
- Catherine Chandler: I'm not worried about Vincent. He can take care of himself.
- Carol Hall: No, he can't. Not without you there to save him, Cat, you know that. And Bob and I know it too. We saw it firsthand when we were all working together.
- Catherine Chandler: We were never working together. You were trying to figure out what we knew before you tried to *kill* us.
- Carol Hall: Still, we got to know you. Reminded us so much about us when we first got engaged.
- [shakes her head]
- Carol Hall: Inseparable to a fault. That's why we came up with this plan.
- Catherine Chandler: To separate us, so you could kill me and capture Vincent. How do you know that we haven't changed, grown?
- Carol Hall: [shakes her head] Co-dependency is not something that changes overnight. It takes more than a few weeks, trust me.
- Catherine Chandler: No, you trust me.
- [leans over table, glaring down]
- Catherine Chandler: In the end, it's gonna be Vincent who walks through that door, not Bob. And then we'll see how much you loved him. Or...
- [sits down]
- Catherine Chandler: you can tell me where Vincent is, help me to bring him back, and maybe I can help you.
- Carol Hall: You can't help us now, not against this.
- [shakes her head]
- Catherine Chandler: The experiments? Is that what you're so afraid of? Or is it whoever's behind it?
- [Carol doesn't respond]
- Catherine Chandler: Carol, come on. Just give me a name, help us to catch whoever's behind it, and I... I promise you...
- [shakes her head]
- Catherine Chandler: I will do whatever I can to help.
- Carol Hall: Only Bob can help me now.
- [shakes her head]
- Carol Hall: And only if Vincent turns out to be the beast that we think he is. And if he doesn't,
- [voice breaking:]
- Carol Hall: then we're all dead.
- Tess Vargas: [comes barging in] Where is he? Where is he?
- Catherine Chandler: Tess...!
- Tess Vargas: [attacks Carol] Where is he? I want to know where he is! Now!
- Catherine Chandler: Tess, what's wrong?
- Tess Vargas: What's wrong is I just got a message from J.T. who all but said goodbye to me, trying to save Vincent from Bob.
- [yells furiously at Carol:]
- Tess Vargas: I want to know where he is! $
- Carol Hall: It's too late.
- Catherine Chandler: Hey, Captain, you need to get a grip. You can't do this right now. Do you understand me?
- [Tess calms down a bit]
- Catherine Chandler: Okay... just let me do my job. Let me keep working on her, all right?
- Tess Vargas: [softly] Okay.
- Catherine Chandler: And in the meantime, you and I both have to have faith... in Vincent and in J.T.
- Tess Vargas: [softly] Okay.
- [turns to go back on her way]
- Catherine Chandler: Okay?
- Tess Vargas: [stops in doorway to glare at Carol] If J.T.'s dead, you're dead.
- Catherine Chandler: [Carol willed her own heart to stop to join Bob in death] Looks like they were inseparable after all.
