“Once Upon a Time in the City of New York” · Season 1

In this episode: Vincent (10), Catherine (6), Father (3)

Is she awake?

Yes. She's very frightened.

How could you bring a stranger down here? To where we live! You ignored our most important rule.

I know that. But there was no other way.

Do you know what they'd do if they caught you up there? Or found you down here? They'd kill you. Or put you behind bars and make you wish you were dead. How could you?

How could I have turned my back on her, and left her there?

[To Vincent] You know, you have the soul of a doctor. When I studied medicine, they wouldn't admit minorities. Wonder what they would have done with you? Let's not even think about it.

[Gives Vincent a kiss on the cheek.]

We're below the city, below the subways. There's a whole world of tunnels and chambers that most people don't even know exists. There are no maps to where we are. It's a forgotten place. But it's warm, and it's safe, and we have all the room we need. So we live here and we try to live as well as we can. And we try to take care of each other. It's our city down here.

I owe you everything.

You owe me nothing. I am a part of you, Catherine, just as you are a part of me. Wherever you go, wherever I am, I'm with you.

I've seen your world. There is no place for me in it. I know what I am. Your world is filled with frightened people, and I remind them of what they are most afraid of.

Their own ignorance.

Their aloneness.

Yes.

Catherine, I feel the things you are feeling when you do.

How do you mean?

Just know that it's true and that your pain is my pain. Sometimes it is almost as if we're one.

She can only bring you unhappiness.

Then I'll be unhappy. But I cannot forget her. We are still connected.

Vincent, your senses, your empathic powers, are quite extraordinary. It's your gift. And these powers have been heightened by the concern, by the love that you feel, but don't let your act of kindness destroy you.

Maybe I have no choice.

Catherine, you survived. And what you endured will make you stronger and better.

I don't have your strength. I don't know how to do it.

You have the strength, Catherine, you do. I know you.

When I think of corporate law, stimulating is not a word that immediately pops into my mind.

CSCatherine's father

You know, when you put your mind to it, you're a fine corporate lawyer.

No, Dad, I'm the daughter of a fine corporate lawyer.

So sue me.

CSCatherine's father

It's a little late for that, I should have sued you when you were five.
