SPOILERS AHEAD!
In Fall 2003, Catherine Chandler is a recent Ivy League graduate working as a bartender. Her workmate goes off early, leaving Catherine alone to finish closing up. When finished, she heads out to her car only to find it won’t start up due to having left her vanity mirror open. She calls up her mother, Vanessa Chandler to come to her aid. While they’re fixing Catherine’s car, two men pull up. Catherine assumes they’re there for the bar and tells them they’re closed. They get out of their car and Vanessa, recognizing them, urges Catherine to get in her car. They shoot Vanessa dead and proceed to chase after Catherine through the woods. She trips and the men catch up, aiming a gun and ready to kill her. Suddenly, a beast appears and rips the men apart. A frightened Catherine stares in horror at the beast as it stares back, though it runs away, leaving Catherine in shock and distraught.
The story moves on to show Catherine living in New York City, now a Homicide Detective. She is first shown meeting up with her boyfriend, Zeke. He is distant with her, revealing that he has dumped her by text and is out on a date with a new girl. She gets back at him by informing nearby security that he has pot on him and walks away. She is called to a crime scene at a hotel where we meet her partner Tess Vargas who tells her she should have tasered Zeke. The the body of fashion editor Ashley Webster is found in the bathroom of the hotel. CSU manages to get fingerprints off one of her buttons.
At the precinct, Catherine gets a match to the prints and finds they belong toVincent Keller, a former medical resident turned military serviceman who has been dead for the past 10 years and has no living immediate family. Her and Tess head to St. Benjamin’s hospital where they interview a former colleague of his. She reveals that he had two brothers who were killed in the 9/11 attacks and he enlisted straight after. She tells them of his former roommate, JT Forbes, a medical researcher.
He lives in an abandoned warehouse where Tess and Catherine show up to interrogate him. When they ask him about Vincent Keller and inform him his fingerprints were found at a crime scene, he feigns ignorance, though close-ups of Vincent discreetly spying on them reveals JT is well aware his former roommate is alive and is living with him. When Catherine wants to look around the place, JT manages to brush her off by saying he has a class to teach and they leave. He goes upstairs to demand answers from Vincent who responds by handing over a newspaper clipping of Vanessa Chandler’s murder, revealing to JT that Catherine is a woman Vincent saved 9 years ago. Vincent further reveals that he has been watching Catherine over the past 9 years and JT panics at how close she has come to discovering them. He also freaks out over the fact that Vincent has broken his self-imposed rules about not entering buildings and not coming into contact with anyone. Vincent argues that he’s starting to feel like he’s living in a prison and has given up working on an antidote for his condition after several attempts have proven futile. JT warns that if Catherine gets too close to them, it may come to the attention of Muirfield and they’ll both end up dead.
Back at the police station, we are introduced to Evan Marks when he and Catherine are examining Ashley Webster’s body. He’s unsure of the cause of death but reveals that she has a bruised sternum and cracked ribs which suggest someone performed CPR on her. When Catherine goes to leave, he asks her out on a date to a premiere. After Catherine has interviewed the husband Alex Webster and while she’s interviewing Ashley’s assistant Emily, Evan returns and tells her the DNA from the hair found at the crime scene is cross-species. At home, while examining crime scene photos, she recognizes the blue car which Tess pointed out to her at JT’s warehouse so Catherine heads there the next day with a warrant to search the place.
Vincent: They told me I could be part of something great, make a difference. It was called Operation Muirfield. They told us they were vitamins, antibiotics, steroids that would protect us.
Cat: What were they?
Vincent: Like I said, I should have asked questions. All I know is that they changed our DNA. Heightened our strength, our reflexes, our senses.
J.T: Why did you stop helping with the antidote?
Vincent: Do you know what the definition of insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. That's why!
J.T: You broke every rule! No interacting with anyone, no entering a building -
