Identity Crisis

Previously on "The Gates" What "us"? What are you? You call us werewolves.
What I did, I did to save your life.
Yeah, and I'm grateful.
Andie, this medication is the only way to keep yourself and t people you care about safe.
Brett! How did you do that? We regenerate faster than humans.
I want to give this ring to you.
Christian, I can't accept that.
Haven't you thought about what Dylan might say? When Dylan finds out, he won't want you.
Who did this? Christian.
Hey, Scott.
Hey, Nick.
How's the world treating you? Good, good.
Appreciate you sticking around after closing.
Oh, not a problem.
Come on in.
So, what can I do for you? I need to take a look at your video-surveillance tapes for the past 24 hours.
Is there a problem? A missing person in Franklin I need to take a look.
Yeah, okay.
Can you give me a minute? I need to turn the system off and change out the hard drives.
Sure, take your time.
Be right back.
Don't move.
Chief Monohan, you're under arrest.
you can't think of one? Not one? I don't think so.
Think a little harder, sweetie.
I am.
All right, let me get this straight.
You're going on a field trip with your school, and you don't know one of the parents' names that are chaperoning you? No.
Why not? I'm 12.
I think you should stay home.
Dad! Shh.
What's going on over here? Dad's being weird.
He said I can't go on my field trip because I don't know which parents are coming with us.
Yeah, Nick, stop traumatizing your daughter.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm uncomfortable sending one of my kids to the museum with a bunch of strangers.
Nick, it's fine.
I've already signed the consent form, okay? It's all good.
But, um Listen, I think you should have a talk with Charlie.
He's having girl trouble.
Hey, see this? See that? Yeah, that hasn't worked since I was 7.
Yeah, you're not 7.
Mom tells me you're having problems with andie.
Yeah, I'm good, all right? All right, really.
I've moved on.
Well, that's good.
You want to talk about it? No? Honey, andie's the one who's missing out.
Yeah? What's up, Marcus? Right now? Honestly, chief, I don't know details.
She came in here looking official, flashed me her credentials, said that you were the only person she wanted to talk to.
All right.
I'll take care of it, huh? Chief Monohan? Special Agent kat russo.
FBI.
What can I do for you? I have reason to believe the target of a federal investigation is living in the gates.
I hope I can count on your cooperation.
Invisibility.
I-n-v-i-s-i-b-i-l-i-t-y.
Invisibility.
Very good.
Now you try one.
Don't be silly, sweetheart.
Mummy hasn't even had her morning tea yet.
But it'll be fun.
Think of a word, dad.
Let's stump mom.
Well, what's the point in that? You, my dear you are the young genius who must learn these words for your spelling bee tomorrow.
You're still coming, right? Of course I'm coming.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
You have a great day.
I love you.
Dad.
You forgot something.
Did I? Mom? Honey, your mum knows exactly what I think of her.
You finish your breakfast, madam.
The man in this photo is accused of committing financial fraud.
Information obtained by the bureau confirms that he owns a home in the gates.
Got him.
Robert Jessup.
Doesn't look familiar.
Leigh? Well, according to our records, Robert Jessup lives alone, travels about 200 days of the year due to his job in pharmaceutical sales, andHas never caused any problems.
So he's a model low-profile citizen.
Who is currently registered as being off property.
Great.
I want to get in that house.
Hold on a second.
If we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it right.
We go through the proper channels.
I have every intention of getting a search warrant.
Let me make a call.
I don't know, chief.
FBI comes calling, we cooperate, right? In the meantime, I want you to dig up anything you can on Jessup.
Okay.
Okay.
To be honest, I have never felt better.
My doctor says he thinks, after two more chemo treatments, I have an excellent chance of going into remission.
That's wonderful news.
Come here.
Whatever is in this is a lifesaver, literally.
I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay you.
Just stay positive and beat this thing.
That'll be payment enough.
Yeah, I plan on it.
Okay, goodbye, Devon, and thanks again.
Bye.
Did you finish mixing your root remedy? I'm all done, but it smells awful.
Then you did it right.
Tomorrow I'll teach you how to grind boneset leaves into a tea that can counteract all kinds of hex-induced illnesses.
It's pretty amazing stuff, actually.
Sounds fun.
So, what did you do for Mrs.
Deroy? I strengthened her immune system using devil's-weed.
The one my mom said was dangerous? En used incorrectly, yes, but the so-called forbidden herbs can work wonders in people when you know what you're doing.
In cancer patients and people with autoimmune diseases, the response has been remarkable.
And, no, I will not teach you how to use them.
But I I in time, when you're older.
You can't keep this up.
I'm fine.
Look, just take what you need from me.
It's the only way you'll get your strength back.
I I can't.
We've been through this before.
You're not gonna hurt me, andie.
Brett, please.
I'm gonna be okay.
She doesn't belong here with us.
Andie stays.
Why? Because she needs our help, Lexie.
She doesn't have anyone else.
Lukas.
What's up? When are you going to take the pack back? I told you guys.
I'm not ready.
Well, Brett's ruining everything.
It's like andie's part of the pack now, and she's not even one of us.
Brett's never gonna give up on andie.
That's just how it is.
If you have a problem with your love life, fix it yourself.
Here's the warrant, chief.
That didn't take very long.
I've got a strong case.
How long you say you been tracking this guy? 2 years, 3 months, 13 days.
But who's counting? Hello?! This is police! Monohan! What do you got? Take a look for yourself.
He's g full operation here.
We find his client list, and a lot of people are gonna be in trouble.
Looks like my case just got bigger.
Fake passports, drivers' licenses, even social security numbers.
I thought you said this was a, uh a financial-fraud case.
Is there a problem, chief? No, no problem.
Okay, how we doing? Think you can break the encryption? I will do my best.
- Nick - There is a problem? I have an FBI agent in my office who just served a warrant on the Robert Jessup residence.
Is he one of yours? Yeah, he is.
Um, Robert is a key facilitator in the identity transfer and relocation of our kind.
What how much does this agent know? I don't kn yet.
But she found fake passports and I.
D.
S, and there are photos of you and Claire and some of the others.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We need to talk about this in person, okay? I don't know if that's possible right now.
You need something? You seemDistracted.
No, I I, uh wife and kids.
Distraction is a way of life.
Mm.
I wouldn't know.
I never got the opportunity.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
How come you never talk to me? Uh, what? I'm not a punk.
I just hang out with them.
Though if I had a punk band, we would have an awesome name.
Want to know what it would be? Uh, sure, I-I guess.
Hmm, I think you can do better than that.
Okay.
Uh, I absolutely want to know what the name of your punk band would be.
Much better.
So, tell me what it is.
Oh, uh, oh, I can't tell.
I hardly know you Yet.
I need more time.
You told me you can handle this.
Hey, hey.
What is going on? This is your computer expert? We're dealing with a rudimentary encryption, and she can't even break it.
You know what? Maybe it'd go faster if you got out of my face.
Okay, all right.
Let's take it down a notch.
Look, you want my officer's help? You better give her space to do it.
Do you understand? She's very capable.
Ooh, I got something.
Jessup has a safety deposit box.
Well, I guess you're gonna need another warrant.
I'm on it.
Are you sure I can do this? Remember, keep the flame in your mind's eye, harness its elemental nature, and concentrate.
Akasha.
I did it.
Nicely done.
Now wait right there, and I'll get the neset leaves.
You won't believe what happens next.
Just so you know I saw you.
What? That look of surprise on your face when the candle went out.
How many times do I have to say it? You can do anything you set your mind to, young lady.
You just have to trust yourself.
Mm.
Thanks, Devon.
I mean it.
Once you master this, the sky's the limit.
NowWatch and learn.
Have you heard from Jessup? No, no, not yet.
We've relayed a message to him, but he hasn't responded, which is not that unusual for him.
He can be unpredictable, especially when threatened, so I think we just need to move forward.
Okay.
What's in the safe deposit box? Look, once she gets that warrant, I can't stop her, so if you know what's in that box, tell me now.
A flash drive containing the old and new identities of every vampire Robert Jessup has worked with.
Some like ourselves, living in The Gates and the rest live in anonymity around the world.
There are over 10,000 names on that drive, which is why you need to act quickly and stop that Agent from retrieving that list.
10,000 names? Your man Jessup has put us in a tough spot.
I don't disagree.
And if it was up to me, you wouldn't be involved in this.
But Dylan has convinced me that I need to let you attempt to save this woman's life.
You're gonna kill an FBI Agent? There are too many people's lives at stake here.
If she gets to that list before you do Well, there's someone out there who will make sure that she never gets back to FBI headquarters alive.
Alright, take this flash drive.
It's loaded with phony names and addresses.
You switch it with the one that Jessup keeps at the bank, and, well, no one should be any wiser.
Got it.
Thanks for coming, Ben.
I just hope we haven't made a mistake.
You should've never put me in this position.
You knew that it was a no-win situation when I first called you.
I knew you would want the chance to save a life, okay? In order to save a life, I have to jeopardize everything, Dylan.
Well, believe me, I know exactly how you feel.
Oh, thanks, man.
Perfect.
Right.
Hey, I'll see you later.
Hey, tell me the name of your band.
Make me.
Oh, you don't want a piece of me.
Right.
Um, I'm gonna shut up now.
This is crazy.
Leave me alone.
No.
Brett! Brett.
I am not just gonna stand by and let this happen to you.
Please.
Brett.
I told you it would work.
I'm home.
Don't you want to know where I have been? Does it matter? For all I know you're lying to me.
I stopped by the bakery.
You can check the receipt if you'd like.
You can leave the receipt on the kitchen counter.
I understand the gravity of this situation better than anyone.
And I know that you are hurt.
But so am I.
And I need your help.
I'm your wife.
Dylan, look at me.
Why? What do you mean, why? You know, w so I can't tell yous he everything is gonna be okay when I don't believe it myself.
Hello? It's Sarah.
Listen, I think Dylan forgot to pick up the girls after school, so I did it.
I tried calling, but no one answered.
Anyway, Emily's here, safe and sound.
Thank you, Sarah.
The spelling bee we forgot.
Oh.
I'm going to go out.
I need to take a look at your video-surveillance tapes for the past 24 hours.
Can you give me a minute? I need to turn the system off and change out the hard drives.
Sure, take your time.
Be right back.
Don't move.
Chief Monohan, you're under arrest.
Step aside.
Tell me who you're working for.
Is it Jessup? Are you in contact with him? I don't know what you're talking about.
Look, I read your file.
I know what happened in Chicago.
Is someone in the gates blackmailing you? If you're gonna arrest me, arrest me.
You're making a big mist I have nothing more to say to you.
Okay.
Well, I have what I want, so I'm gonna let this go.
But take my advice.
Whatever it is you're caught up in, take your family and get out.
Marcus.
I want you to get me as much information I've already given you everything I know on Jessup.
Not Jessup.
Listen to me.
I want you to get me as much information on russo as you can.
You understand? Okay.
Okay.
Leigh.
Leigh! Let her go.
I can't.
What is going on? My name is on that flash drive.
Excessive chemistry.
The name of your band.
Nope.
Not even close.
Rapid stain removal? Ok, that's even more pathetic.
I'm glad to see you.
Oh, I thought maybe I'd scared you away.
No, not at all.
You're different.
I mean, like, you make everything seem easy.
No drama I like that about you.
Well, that's easier said than done.
Why is that? Come on, Charlie.
I want to show you something.
You switched the flash drives? I did.
Why is your name on that list, Leigh? It's not what you think.
I know what you know about this place.
But I'm not one of them.
Why would Jessup help you? I needed a place to start over.
I had a boyfriend who ripped my heart out.
Chief, um, I'm sorry to interrupt.
I've got something you need to see.
You're not gonna believe this.
Kat russo and Robert Jessup were engaged.
She played us.
Get to the hotel.
Keep eyes on her.
Okay, yeah.
Go.
Leigh.
Sir.
You okay? Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Call the FBI.
Get everything you can on her.
Okay.
All right.
It looks so much better.
For now.
Oh, andie, stop it.
Mia Kissing Brett only works because I won't hurt him.
But the problem is it still hurts me Right here.
I can't I can't do it, you know.
I can't pretend like I feel something for him that I don't.
Then maybe there's another option.
Not for me.
Your mom's medicine made me way too sick, and I stopped tang it weeks ago.
What am I gonna do? Look, I-I brought you something.
What is it? It's devil's-weed.
And I've seen it do miracles in people sicker than you.
Devon uses it with cancer patients to help build up their immune system.
It can even keep your body from turning on itself.
You really think this stuff's gonna work? I do.
Okay.
I'm telling you, we were end.
She'll listen to me.
I know what I'm doing.
It's not your call, Dylan.
Stay out of it.
Kat, please.
You.
We can work this out.
You turned me into this.
I saved your life because I loved you.
You still don't get it, do you? I'm gonna kill you for what you did to me.
And then I'm gonna kill everyone else on this list of yours.
Tell me.
What's wrong with the flash drive? It's not mine.
I didn't even know this place existed.
Not a lot of people come here anymore.
Originally, cemeteries were built as places for the living, not just the death families picnicked and spent time here remembering the people they loved.
There's only one date.
Charlotte was my twin.
She died the day we were born I'm sorry.
My parents stopped visiting her a long time ago, so I come here as much as I can to keep her company.
It was nice to meet you, Charlotte.
Hey, this is Charlie.
Leave me a message.
Hello? Hi.
Uh, Mrs.
Monohan? It's andie bates.
Uh, is Charlie home? Um, no, andie, but I expect him soon.
Can I can I take a message? Uh, no, no message.
Thanks.
Bye.
Today was great.
I've, um I've never taken anyone there before.
We should hang out again.
I'd like that But only If you tell me the name of your band.
Okay.
Here's a hint.
It's called experimental necking.
I like it.
I knew you would.
Yes, r-u-s-s-o.
That is how you spell it.
I'm sure.
You're certain? Okay, thank you.
FBI says kat russo's been dead for two years.
Really? You'd be dead already if I wanted it.
Leigh.
Now give me the real flash drive.
I can't do that.
Don't let them control you.
No one should suffer what I've suffered at the hands of their kind.
Their kind? What does that make you? A bad judge of men.
When I told Robert Jessup I would marry him, I had no idea what he really was.
What does that mean? I was shot in the line of duty.
I should have died, but Robert took it upon himself to save me.
Chief.
It's okay, Leigh.
He turned you.
I didn't want this.
But he did it anyway, and now he's dead.
And the sooner the rest of this list is exterminated, the better for everyone.
You can't punish them all for what he did.
She's right.
They're not all monsters.
I thought you were under the thumb of these vampires, but it's worse.
You actually choose to help them.
I give you this flash drive, and I can't protect you.
I don't need your help.
Perhaps we should take her a plate of food.
I already tried.
She's not hungry.
So, is this how it's gonna be from now on between us? I don't know.
I'm sorry about what happened to you but it doesn't change the fact that you betrayed me.
And not only that, but the repercussions of your tryst with Christian it broke the very essence of what binds us together.
But we can fix that.
Can't we? Yes.
But you honestly think that will solve what's wrong between us? I love you.
But with everything that's happened, I, um I think it's probably best that we have some time apart.
How shall we tell Emily? Em? Daddy and I have come to talk to you.
Em? Emily? Oh, no.
Christian.
Where are we going again? Oh, don't you worry about it, pumpkin.
It's gonna be fun.
