Beauty and the Beast · Season 1
I remember Paracelsus from when I was a kid. Times were bad, resources were scarce, people were scared. Paracelsus took advantage. Oh, he was convincing. Smart. People started to follow him.
Not Father.
He was the one that saved us. He reminded us that we were a family...that we had to stand by each other. Oh, you'd have been proud of him. His strength. His conviction! Without him...
Paracelsus might have prevailed.
But...he was never the same after that.
Why?
Because once, they were friends.
So what's on your mind?
I'm just...thinking. Wondering.
About Catherine
If she's really in danger, why can't I feel her fear?
We'll get her back, don't worry.
Vincent...I want you to know that I'm not just doing this because of Paracelsus. It's for Catherine, too, she's...a good woman. I always said that. What's between you two is something I've never felt, myself. But seeing it-I know it's real. I believe in it.
[Winslow's eulogy] Winslow loved all of us fiercely. We were his family. Nothing could ever change that for him. Not conflict, nor anger...not even death. Winslow will always be a part of us, in our hearts. Let us remember him for his strength and his courage...He'll continue to live through us, through our memory of him. Now is the time to mourn...and the pain will soften, I promise.
Vincent is close.
I know.
You're really not afraid to die, are you?
No.
Not even as you watch the stage being built...Don't you feel anything?
Sadness.
About dying?
About you. About the world you helped create. Vincent has told me. Your vision. Your ideals. All wasted.
All taken from me.
Still-wasted. Now all you want to do is destroy...something. Someone you don't even know.
Then you perceive my life to be...contradictory.
No, Tragic.
Don't you see? It doesn't end with your death, or Vincent's. This is only the beginning.
The beginning? Of what?
Reclaiming what is mine. After all these years, I've decided to go home!
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
Paracelsus.
Milton, actually.
Now it is your turn to listen. To know my pain, my grief of seeing the only things I ever loved torn away...but it wasn't just me...there were others...You. You were betrayed Vincent. You call him 'Father' but it was I who found you, wrapped you in rags, starving. It was I who named you "Vincent". And it was I who cared fro you all of those months. Even Father didn't think you'd live. But I-I fed you. I...bathed you. And you did live. Don't you see, Vincent? He wouldn't let me take you. When I was exiled he made me leave you behind! I loved you. You were mine...You don't believe me.
What would you have me believe...that you loved...and are now capable of this?
Now is the time for retribution!
Then...you never really knew love.
Catherine...On the journey, I felt for the first time, as if somehow you were lost to me. I knew you were in danger and yet I could sense no fear.
I was afraid, Vincent, but I couldn't allow myself to feel the fear.
You didn't want to draw me.
I couldn't
You would sacrifice so much...
I would sacrifice everything, for you...What Paracelsus said about your past-
Before I left, Father told me something that I am just now beginning to understand. He said that there is a truth beyond knowledge...beyond everything you could ever hope to know.
Yes.
And that truth is...love.
Ah, but you're not weak, are you, Catherine? You're strong. Intrepid.
What do you want?
Once a person is visited by violence, everything changes. Isn't that so? Nictze said, "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger." Well, I am stronger now!
You still haven't answered my question.
Vincent is the answer to your question. He is all that stands between Father and me, in more ways than one. (Shows Catherine burns on his face) And this is why I must destroy him.
I am not afraid.
You will be. You see, Vincent is also coming here to watch you die.
[after hearing Narcissa's warning] She is my life. I am bound by my heart to go on.
Vincent, the man, who you know as Paracelsus...He is not alone. There are those down here who follow him, protect him. They are the simple ones, the lost ones.
Um...
What is it?
I don't think I can make this jump.
I can't hear you.
I said I don't think I can make this jump! OK!
You're afraid, aren't you?
I'm not afraid; I'm just not...especially fond of heights.
Okaaay. How about if I count to three, and if your butt's not off of here by then I'll push you. One... two... THREE! [Pascal jumps]
[down rope] Winslow!
[eying rope] Yeah! Yeah! I'm coming... Shoulda gone on that diet. Well, it's too late now!
I studied everything he ever wrote. The early manuals were brilliant. Codes, schematics...It's hard to believe he's the same man.
Paracelsus is not the same man.
Oh, I know that. It still makes me sad...All that intellect and energy, just...
You got a heart like a soft-boiled egg, you know that?
