Nine years ago I witnessed
my mother's ***.
I would've been killed, too,
if it hadn't been for Vincent.
I was part of an experimental
special forces group.
There goal was to create
the perfect super soldier.
But something went wrong.
You're him.
Muirfield is still out there,
and they want me dead.
I have evidence that a
cross-species creature exists.
I could do with the help
of a biochemist.
And I was hoping
that it'd be the man
who published a paper on it.
My nurse, Alex Salter,
you might know her.
We grew up together.
We were pretty close.
I used to fantasize
about leaving New York
and never coming back.
The sooner we get out of here,
the sooner we can start living.
I want to be with you, Vincent.
Alex is willing to give up
her life to go with me.

Oh, how about screw him?
You said yourself,
he chose the other woman.
He didn't really choose her,
he chose the things that come
along with her.
Which makes him an ***.
You're moving on. Cold Turkey.
Let's sing.
He is an ***, isn't he?
She has no idea what she's
getting into with him.
What is she getting into?
You know, he's got issues.
Well, what kind of issues?

Thank you, Heather.
Up next,
Tara with "Safety Dance."
Okay, why was that just a solo?
Cat's guy's got issues.
What guy doesn't?
He's not married, is he?
No, that is your problem.
You're married?
No, and we're no talking
about me right now.
And now you really have
to tell me.
Okay, he's got...
he's got some form of PTSD.
What, like flashbacks?
No, more like a bad temper.
Not-not toward me.
What?
Okay, Cat,
I thought you said
you were done with bad boys.
He's not a bad boy,
he is sweet and heroic and...
Apparently abusive.
It is not like that at all.
We just had this really
deep connection
and he understands me like
no one else.
What happened to "he's an ***"?
Yeah, and do you not think
we understand you?
Let that other girl deal
with his issues.
She doesn't even know
his issues.
You know what I think?
You should tell her.
Yeah, I am so not going
to do that.
What? Why?
Because it's spiteful,
vengeful, vindictive?
And you're afraid
he'd hate you forever.
Yeah, see, we understand you.
You're still hanging on.
No.
You did just call him heroic.
Okay, maybe
I'm hanging on a little.
But I am not telling her.
Besides, I am moving on,
cold turkey.
It is over, done, finito.
Okay, well here's to
"I am woman, hear me drink."
Cheers.
Things are not as they seem.
Interview the neighbor.
Okay, I know this
is therapeutic for you,
but these shows freak me out.
Could you just turn
it down a little?
I mean, even the narrators
voice is creepy.
Maybe it's the neighbor.
You know, if that's ***,
you're not letting him in.
It's not him.
He doesn't knock.
Who is it?
Alex Salter.
What?
Um, nothing.
Just-just work.
Coming.
It's fine, all good.
Okay, well, hey,
don't finish that ice cream.
You'll regret it in the morning.
Hey.
Sorry, it's so late.
I just got done with my shift
and you're on my way home.
No, I was up, so...
Uh, that would be research
for a case.
How did you get my address?
Uh, from your
hospital file.
Hope that's okay.
Uh, no,
that's fine.
That's my sister's.
Um, so, what's up?
Well, I wanted to ask
if it would be okay to take
Vincent away for the weekend?
Uh...
Because I know about his work
in Special-Ops.
And that people have it
out for him.
Okay, so, he told you
about... things.
I hope that's okay.
I mean, we were engaged once.
No, no, no, no, that's good.
Um, so did he tell you
anything else?
You know, besides the fact that
people are after him?
Uh, you mean that everyone is
supposed to think he's dead?
Is there more?
Nope, that-that seems like
plenty.
Yeah, and I'm still not really
clear what the rules are,
which is why I'm here.
Before I brought up
this whole cabin idea to him,
because you're his handler...
Ah, you thought that you would
check in with me first.
Yeah. I mean it'd-it'd just be
one night.
My family has
a cabin upstate.
It's totally isolated.
It would just be the two of us.
Sounds fun.
Oh, my God.
It was out favorite place.
You know, before.
And we have
a lot to...
catch up on.
Yeah, like your plans to
move to Africa.
So, he talked to you, too.
I am his handler.
It's just... strange.
I've, uh, never had to share
him before.
No. No, you're not sharing him.
Uh, in fact,
in the future,
you should probably go to him
with all of
these sorts of things;
these weekend
away kinds of things.
You know, anything actually.
Great.
Yeah.
All right, I'll just leave
you to your work.
Have fun at the cabin.
Thanks.

Hey.
If you're auditioning
jogging buddies,
I don't want the part.
I came to apologize.
Hey, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
About?
That Alex showed up to
your place,
that she asked permission to...
Go on a romantic weekend
together?
Look, uh, it's not just going
to be about some
romantic weekend away.
So, you're going.
Yeah, I'm-I'm thinking about it.
Look, I don't want
to hurt you, okay?
But Alex and I, we've got so
much to talk about.
You're mad.
You can sense that?
Catherine, this isn't
about her over you, okay?
Right, it is
about your future.
Yeah, one where I don't
have to hide all the time,
where I might actually get
to practice medicine again.
In her parents' cabin?
You think this is crazy.
What if you lose control?
Alex sees you, she freaks
out, calls the cops.
And what about her safety?
I'm not going
to hurt her.
Just the idea of you going
anywhere with someone
who doesn't
know who you are.
Who I am?
It's not what I meant.
It's what you said.
Vincent,
what are you even doing here?
I don't know.
I-I thought that maybe I
should...
What, get my blessing?
Because I am not actually
your handler.
I wanted to make sure you're
fine with all this.
You know, maybe get
your opinion.
My opinion is that I am
cold turkey.
What?
Go, don't go, tell her, don't
tell her...
Well, I am going to tell her.
Fine by me.
Okay, then.
Well, this has been helpful.
Good.

So, how are you today?
How we doing?
Today's a new day.
Hello?
I think I sent him into a
cabin in the woods with her.
What?
Yeah, he came to see me
thing morning.
I was trying to be all tough and
cold turkey
and I made him run in the
other direction.
Made him?
I don't,
I think he was wavering.
Maybe I should call him
and tell him not to go.
No, no, no, no phone.
We're going to focus on work.
All right, pick a case.
Uh, missing octogenarian,
prescription drug ring
at New York General,
stolen jewelry
from Tiffany's...
Wait, New York General?
Uh, yeah, Narcotics has warrants
on a bunch of people,
mostly nurses.
You're kidding.
All right,
all raids start at noon.
They don't want anyone
tipped off.
Okay, well,
let's raid her.
Her apartment is right near my
favorite ice cream shop.
Done.
Um, I will meet you there.
I just have an errand
to run, okay?
You're gonna call him.
Pick up, pick up, come on.
JT, I need to talk to Vincent.
We're about to raid
his girlfriend's apartment.
We are? Who's "we"?
Narcotics.
Alex has been stealing meds
from the hospital
to use at her clinic.
They have a warrant.
They left for the cabin already.
What?
If his prints show up in the
system again...
You know, if you really wanted
to protect him,
you should've told him
not to go.
I am not his handler.
And you could've done
the same thing.
I tried.
Meanwhile, I am protecting him.
You know your little pal Evan
is 12 hours away from presenting
his cross-species
DNA findings to the National
Genetics Association.
Okay, we are going to do this
raid in 49 minutes.
Vincent's not picking up
his burner.
Do you have Alex's number?
No, and there is no cell phone
reception up at the cabin.
Where does she live?
I'll go.
Yeah, and leave your
fingerprints
all over that place? No.
I've already been there
and I know
where all of the mementos
and letters are.
You sure you want to do that?
Want to? No.
But I don't have a choice.

Hey.
You close?
Uh, yeah, I'll meet you there.
Did you go see him?
No, I am moving on.
I will see you there.
I swear, every time
I'm on this highway,
I crave a strawberry
milkshake.
Well, we can stop if you want.
Is that allowed?
Yeah.
You don't have to clear that
with my handler.
Oh, no, should I not have?
No, it's fine. There's probably
some things we should talk about
if, you know,
we're gonna move forward.
"If"?
Sorry, when. When.
Yeah, I know, I know.
There's so much that
I have to figure out.
When I'm gonna give
work two weeks notice,
what I'm gonna do
with my apartment.
But you're not talking
about my logistics, are you?
Uh, no, not exactly.
It's just...
What?
Watch the road, the road.
What?
Watch the road.
Sorry. I hate driving.
I don't get to look at you.
Okay, talk to me.
Okay, uh,
what about the flight?
The flight?
Yeah, it's not
just a passport issue.
I mean, there's cameras
and security and dogs.
There are sick
people everywhere.
We could go somewhere
we could drive to.
Central America, Mexico.
You know how much
I love margaritas.
Yes, I do.
All right, let's just start
with a milkshake.
I'll never say no
to a milkshake.
Watch the road.
Road, right, right.
Nothing so far.
She has pill bottles
in the bathroom,
but they all have
legit prescriptions.
Oh, well, next raid.
But I found this.
New lingerie.
Maybe she has a boyfriend.
Or maybe she bought herself
some new bras?
Not according to the receipt.
Maybe he's an ***, too,
and look, if he's in
on the drug thefts,
she could hide the stash
at his place.
It just... it seems like
a bit of a stretch.
Yeah, but if
we could just find
out who he is...
Okay, you're right.
You check the kitchen;
I'll finish up here,
and whoever finds something last
has to buy ice cream.
How about cocktails?
Done.
It's a bug.
I can see that.
You can speak;
I disabled it.
What the hell was a bug doing
in her apartment?
Obviously,
Muirfield's back.
But how did they
get onto...
Vincent attacked Alex's stalker.
His DNA was probably
on the body.
Okay, Evan cannot present today.
Evan?
JT, Muirfield might have heard
that Alex was going away
to a remote cabin with Vincent.
You better get up there.
Me? No, no, no, no.
I-I am not walking
into their little...
I can't do it.
I have to figure out a way
to stop Evan before he stands up
in front of 200 people
and presents Vincent's
DNA reports to the world.
Okay, but I already cleaned
her apartment,
and there was lingerie.
So you're not gonna
save him
because he's with another girl
because you told him
it was a good idea?
I did not tell him
it was a good idea.
I-I am supposed
to be moving on.
I was trying to
take the high road.
How about taking the Long Island
Expressway, exit 91.
There was a small
engagement party there.
Seriously?
I'm sorry.
I know how hard this is.
I just hope they have
their clothes on
when I get there.
Is it like you remember?
Yeah, actually, it is.
You sound surprised.
Feels like
it's even colder in here
than it is out there.
Yeah, I'll get the fire going, huh?
Okay.
My parents
left champagne.
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?
Yeah, just on my way
to New York General
to follow up.
No, Narcotics is already on it.
Oh, and the boyfriend's
a dead end.
Oh, good.
I mean, just now we can have
some more down time.
You sound weird.
Is it the guy?
Uh, kind of.
All right, that's it.
I'm cancelling
my plans with Mr. Married.
You and I are hanging out.
No, no, no, Tess, it's okay.
I just really need
some time alone right now.
All right, well, whatever
you do, don't call, um...
I don't even know his name.
At this point, why bother?
Is it okay?
Yeah, it's great.
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.
We actually get to do it.
Go where nobody knows us.
Start a clinic.
Help people.
I guess I could have
*** margaritas.
What?
Shh.
Wait here.
Whoa.
Hey.
I guess you saw me coming.
Yeah, uh...
What's going on?
I'm really sorry to bother you.
It's just...
my truck broke down,
and I'm completely
useless when it comes
to this kind of thing--
I don't know a lug nut
from a...
I don't even know.
There's no cell service
around here.
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 ***,
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 ***.
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 ***.
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.
Back at you.
It's starting.
Mm, nice choice.
♪ Don't go breaking my heart
♪ I couldn't if I tried
♪ Oh, honey, if I get restless
♪ Baby, you're not that kind
Oh, my God.
♪ Ooh-hoo
♪ Nobody knows it
♪ Nobody knows... it
♪ Right from the start
I gave you my heart ♪
♪ Ooh-h
♪ Right from the start
♪ I gave you my heart...
