NARRATOR:
Previously on The Beast.

I'm Charles Barker, FBI.

We fear Barker's strayed.
We're concerned how far.

You want to
investigate him,
go ahead,

but he's my partner,
and you'll do it without me.

You're making a mistake.

RAY: You're either going down
with him or you're
gonna end up dead.

That's what we have
on Barker.

Not enough to make
a case against him.

If it were,
we wouldn't need you.

But it'll make you wonder.

I just noticed that you're
leaving early today.

How would you know that?

I'm very observant
when things interest me.

BARKER: It's killing you
to lie to her?
Get rid of her.

No excess baggage,
nothing you can't
leave behind.

(SIGHS)

They were out of coffee.

Tea?

So, Lance Corporal
Daniel Taylor

and Henry Ramirez, PFC.

They both look like
they were about 20.

22 and 24.

When were
the bodies found?

Ramirez was killed
last week.

Taylor turned up
Thursday morning.

Were they friends?

No reason to think
they even knew
each other.

Different service,
different stations,

different homeless shelters.

Here.

Homeless?

These soldiers
were homeless?

Mmm-hmm.

Taylor was found
in an alleyway

near the Chicago mission

and Ramirez
by the one off Superior.

Barker?

Barker?
Hmm?

Homeless vets
being murdered

complicates things
for Uncle Sam.

Washington doesn't want
the press anywhere near it.

Is that clear?

Clear as a bell.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Please
take a seat.

This is
Amanda Taylor,

Corporal Taylor's wife.

Closest thing we got
to a witness on this deal.

She wanted to come in.

Mrs. Taylor.
Mmm-hmm.

This is
agent Barker.

How do you do?
Hello.

I'm Charles Barker.

I'm the agent in charge
of this investigation.

What can I do for you?

You can bring
my husband back.

I can't do that.

But I can help him
rest peacefully.

So, where were you
when you heard?

I was at my folks' place
in Canton.

They've been
helping me out

since he left
for the war.

When he came back, um...

What was he like?

It wasn't Daniel.

Just somebody
that looked like him.

He didn't want
to live with us,

and the baby coming
only made it worse.

Forgive me,
but I need
to ask you this.

Did he ever scare you,
you know, like...

Was he dangerous
or act like he might
hurt you?

No, not that.

It was more...

Well, once,
during dinner,

we were just sitting
there really quiet.

He was really quiet.

And then he just got up,

and he started
kicking at the wall.

And he punched
a hole in it.

That's when
he stopped sleeping.

He wouldn't let me help.

Daniel was a kind man
before he left.

That's the word people
always used, "kind."

Anyway, that's
all I had to say.

Thank you.

Please, let me.

You find out who did this.

(GRUNTING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Just thinking about you.

Good morning.

Late night.
Morning.

So, someone is out there
killing soldiers.

Both of them are
returned vets.
Both homeless.

Their military status
makes it our case.

I asked Conrad
for their dossiers.

He said it would take
six weeks.

Now, check it out.

Weapon was an army ranger
tactical, part serrated.

Same point of entry,

one strike to the chest,
penetrating the heart.

Now, what's that tell you
about our perp, grasshopper?

That he knows
what he's doing.

Yeah.

Hey, hey,
check this out.

So, Taylor posted
a video from Iraq,

Fallujah.

We're out of here.

He's all-county, too.

It looks like
the kid could throw.

You know what?
I don't give a damn
if he could throw.

I don't need to see
his home movies.

I need to see
a crime scene.

What's the matter
with you, man?

These guys are vets.

They're victims.

Just another case, huh?

Let's go.

(DOOR OPENS)

I love you, mom.
I'll see you soon.

Let's go.

Okay, this is it.

What do we got here?

This is where they found
Taylor's body.

Yo, mister.

Get lost.

Hang on.

Go.

All righty,
so lie down right here
next to the wall

with your head
by that pipe.

But it's all wet, man.
Come on.

Act like a Marine
and do what you're told.

That's why
I didn't re-up.

Oh, man. Ugh.

So, what do you see?

Um...

You got a harder one?
City-wide surveillance rig.

Yeah, got to love
Big Brother, don't you?

I didn't think
they were operational yet.

They're not,
so the city says,

but I got a friend who can
pull pictures off of them.

Must be
an interesting friend.

He is.

You got any contacts
at the VA Hospital?

Uh, no.

Well, you're gonna need
to get some

because I need dossiers
from Ramirez and Taylor.

And get the hell up,
Marine.

Hooah!

WOMAN ON PA: Captain Cole,
extension 5839.

Captain Cole, extension 5839.

My name is Ellis Dove.

I have a 10:00 appointment
to see Dr. Blake.

Have a seat.

All right. Thank you.

Sorry for the wait,
but we're understaffed
and overbooked.

So, you're the head
of the VA Hospital's

psychiatric department,
right?

Yep. Chief Administrator.

So, how can I
help you today?

Wheelchair to Cardiology.
Wheelchair to Cardiology.

Someone's killing vets.

Really?

How many?

Two so far.

All that we know about
them is that they were
both homeless.

They're young.
They're young vets.

So, what, you're assuming
some level of PTSD,

which means they probably
passed through here?

Access to their military files
would be a huge help.

Yeah, but...

I think you know
the answer to that
as well as I do.

You know, the one thing
that the DOD
does do well

is protect
the confidentiality
of our veterans.

Even if it puts them
in danger, right?

Have you seen either of
these men come through here?

Come on.

You were in the waiting room.
We see 200 patients a day.

You're a Marine,
aren't you?

"Send us first.
Tell us last."

How'd you know?

It's not magic,

it's what I do in here
all day long.

You know anyone who might
want to kill these soldiers?

Yeah, we're killing them.

People who come in here
need some serious care.

We got a staff of eight
to handle this workload.

They're killing us, and we,
in turn, are killing them.

And then they send them home,
another 150 thou.

Christ, I hope we get
some help by then.

You see, these men,

they have no homes to search,
no families to question.

Military records
are the most complete
picture of who they are

and any patterns
that we can track.

(SIGHS)

What are the names again?

Henry Ramirez, PFC,
and Corporal Daniel Taylor.

I guess a case like this,

hard not to get
personally invested in it.

You advising me not to?

No, just the opposite.

I'm saying you don't
go the distance

for the people
who had your back,

what does that say
about you?

All right, yes.

Both of them
came through here.

But that's all
I can tell you.

That's all I can
help you with.
I'm sorry.

Thank you for
your time, Doctor.

Yeah.

And if you ever want to
talk about your time there,

you know where I am.

BARKER:
You get my dossiers?

Got to find
another way to get them.

You're damned straight
you got to.

I will.

That's the guy.

This from
your interesting friend?

Straight from the city's
surveillance cameras.

So, he was
walking down the street

like a ghost was after him

the same day
Ramirez was killed.

So go be a bloodhound.

Yes, Mr. Miyagi.

You seen those two
characters before?

It ain't me.
No, no, it ain't me.

Hey, buddy.

You seen
either of these guys?

Mmm-mmm.

That's a nice watch.

Come on, man.

It's my watch!
Mine!

There's no way
off the roof, stupid.

Go to hell!

Oh, man.

(GRUNTS)

Stay down.
What are you, Spider-Man?

Get off me!

Where the hell
did you come from?

Get off me!
I ain't gonna
tell you nothing!

Oh, really?

Hell, no.
I'll call my lawyer.

You got a lawyer, huh?

You're gonna
appoint me one, bitch.

What's your name?
Lawyer.

That's my name.

Come on,
let's get him up here.

Let go of me!
Let go!

BARKER: Get over here.

(STAMMERING) No!
Stop!

You see your lawyer
down there? Huh?

(SCREAMING)

You better hope
you land on him 'cause
you're shit out of luck.

Hey, man,
you can't do this!

Oh, really?

No! God!

Well, he was a jumper.

We tried to save him,
but we didn't
get there in time.

You were with Taylor
when he died.
How'd you kill him?

He was dead
when I got there!

I just want
my watch back!

(WHIMPERING)

You got any better ideas
on how to make
this sucker talk?

I never saw Ramirez.

Taylor had a bad habit.

Asked me if I wanted to buy
his watch for 20 bucks.

Shoot, 20 bucks!

You know
this is from Iraq, right?

Yeah.
You were there?

Sort of.

So, did you and Taylor
get into it?

Camp Diamondback, huh?

Until we built up Mosul.

You recognize the muslin?

Soft and sturdy.

Hells, yeah!

I'm gonna open up
an import/export.

I got all the connects.

What, you think
I don't want to work?

Is that where
you know Taylor from,
Camp Diamondback?

Nah. Here.

Look, if you know Taylor,

you know he's one big dude
and mad as hell.

Got us both kicked
out on the street
'cause of this watch.

You know,
you almost dropped me
from a roof.

So, what happened to Taylor

after you got thrown out
of the shelter?

He was in a bad way.

Talking about offing himself.
Just a matter of time.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Excuse me.
Yes.

Another plate of fries,
please.

All right. Let's go.

Hey, Tina, get him
whatever he wants.

Okay.

Hey, so what's up?

We got another victim.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

CONRAD: Same weapon.
Army ranger knife.

Same entry wound.

Why here instead of
over by the mission
with the others?

Lieutenant Colonel Nichols
wasn't like the others.

If he was,
the press wouldn't be here.

They wouldn't give a damn.

The good news is
they think Nichols is
an isolated incident.

So let's keep it
that way, huh?

Why?

Because that's the order.

So, do you have
a current address?

Lincoln Park.

He lives in a big house
over there.

Well, we can add
Lieutenant Colonel Nichols

to the list
of dossiers we need.

I'm gonna go over
and check his place out.

His job was outlasting
the enemy.

He did that every day.

And then he wins
and he comes home to what?

He did his job,
and shit happens.

Now you do your job.

It matters.

What I'm saying matters.

Just get me the dossiers.

Conrad's wrong, man.

It's a mistake
not to go to the press.

Someone out there
knows more than we do.

Yeah, Edward.

I got a headline for you.

Another one, please.

You do realize
you're on the clock, right?

What do you think
has driven me to this?

Total lack of charm
and inability
to relate to women.

Ha.

I'm going back to my cube.

At least the
cyber-terrorists
respect me.

You want my respect?

I need you
to get me in here.

You're kidding me, right?

You're my only
way in, buddy.

You want access
to the records room
at the VA?

This is not
going to happen.

It's a breach
of national security.

No.

I helped write the law
for the AG
when I was at Justice.

Trust me.
There is no way in.

No wonder
you're a desk jockey.

I'm a desk jockey because
I can't shoot, all right?

You can't shoot
because you're
a poindexter.

Believe me,
the two are interrelated.

Come on, man.
Someone's killing vets,

and you've got
a chance to stop him.

And you say, "Oh, poor me,
pour me another drink."

Read my lips.

I will not help you,
and I cannot get you in.

Major?

Todd...

ELLIS: Atten-hut!

ID, sir.

Major Neal Casey?

That's right.

(DOOR BEEPS)

(THUDDING)

Ellis Dove.

You forget something?

No, um...

I came back because
I thought about your offer.

Maybe I should make
an appointment.

Why didn't you call?

See, I was on hold for,
like, 50 minutes,
so I just hung up.

You're okay?

Events change us.
There's nothing
we can do about that.

How about tomorrow,
late afternoon?

I'm gonna be here
till 7:00.

Thanks.

Yeah?
Okay.

Hey, you know,
I hear they're taking
this investigation public.

That's a good thing.

Anytime you turn a spotlight

on how our returning
men and women
are being treated,

it's a good thing.

See you tomorrow.

(SIREN WAILING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

MAN: All right,
here you go.

WOMAN: Do you want
gravy on that?

Thank you.

You're new here.
What's your name?

Oh.

Perry.
Kevin Perry, sir.

You want to step
out of line, Perry?

Um...

I sure would like a chance
at one of them beds.

Not tonight.

Seniority rules here.

I just... I don't want
to be sleeping out there
no more.

Nobody does, Perry.

Look, you can come here
seven consecutive nights.

On the seventh night,
you get in line for a cot.

Each night,
I will punch your card.

That way
we know what's what.

My name's Harris.

Mr. Harris.
All right.

Oh, excuse me,
Mr. Harris?

(STAMMERING) Can I
show you something?

You know this man?

Nichols. Yeah.

I heard he used to
come here.

Volunteered Mondays,
Wednesdays, Fridays,
all day sometimes.

What are you doing
with that?

He was my LT, sir.

Hmm.

Yeah, him dying
is a stupid shame.

So you knew him?
Can I...

Why don't you
get yourself
back in line, all right?

It's like there's
so much,

you kind of
lose your appetite.

Huh?

It'll kick back in.
Just give it a minute.

Okay.

Where'd you serve?

Um...

Tenth Mountain Division,
Afghanistan.

Mmm.

You?

Reservist. Iraq.

(DISHES CLATTERING)
Two tours.

Drove a pink elephant
down main street

every night
for 15 months.

(CHUCKLES)
Fuel rig?

Oh, that is a crap detail.

I'm eight days
from discharge,

and we hit
a 155 mike-mike buried
under a pile of garbage.

Blew half my foot off.

Damn IEDs.
I hate them.

All you need
is a cell phone
and good timing.

(DISHES CLATTERING)
Mmm.

You?

Me? No.

Nothing like that.
I...

I wasn't that lucky.

(CHUCKLES)

I can't drive
in the right lane

'cause that's
where the mines will be.

(LAUGHS)

That's stupid, huh?

No.

Every time
I walk into a room,

I got to check
all the exit and
all the entry points.

I hate it.

I know the feeling.

Don't touch me.
WOMAN: You're not
wanted here!

I'm Jess.

Hello.

I'm Kevin Perry.

Nice to meet you.

(GRUNTING)

(GLASS BREAKING)

Who else
wants to be in charge?

Who else thinks
they're in charge of me?

Who else?
Please, please,
don't hurt nobody.

You?

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

Harris. Help me.

(GRUNTS)

(POUNDING ON DOOR)

JESS: You all right?
Huh?

Who the hell is
that crazy sucker?

Trevor. He tried to
come in last night.

Brought a knife
and everything.

Psychos, man.
Too many psychos!

Yeah.

WOMAN ON TV:
Public outrage has reached
all the way to Washington

over the homicide
of three Iraq War veterans

over the last few days in
the skid row area of Chicago.

Two of the victims
were reportedly homeless,

while the third,
a Lieutenant Colonel,

was said to have been
a volunteer at the shelter.

Since the story has broken,

federal authorities are making
this case top priority.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

More on this and other news
at the top of the hour.

Hey.
(LAUGHS) Hey.

Hey.

You want to come in?

Thanks.

I'm meeting
some friends at the Oaks.

Are you up for a round?

Ah, another
late night, huh?

Or early morning,
should I say?

Ah, yes, the awkward,
infamous moment
in the hallway.

(CHUCKLES)

It's not what you think.

It's all good.

I'm just finishing up
some work.

Yeah. I am glad
today is over, too.

You would not believe
this con law professor.

He's just like that guy
in Legally Blonde.

You see that movie?

Guess you wouldn't,
but it's a prerequisite
for blonde law students.

You look hot.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Thanks.

Marines, right?

Yeah.

When did you get out?

A couple of years ago.

Yeah, my dad
was in Vietnam.

He was a medic.

But whenever I ask him
about his experience,

he says, "Yeah, I treated
a lot of gonorrhea."

That's about all he says.

You don't talk about it,
either?

You military guys.

I feel a sweeping
generalization coming on.

Well, am I wrong?

It just seems like
military people

tend not to talk about their
experiences in the military.

We talk about them.

Just to other vets.

Oh, I see.

It's not a topic
a mere layman like myself

could ever understand.

I was a sniper.

So this wouldn't be
a real...

Pleasant conversation.

Actually, one of the guys
coming out tonight,

he served in Iraq.
You guys might get along.

I'll pass on tonight.

You keep that stuff inside,
it'll eat you up.

Thanks, Oprah.

All right,
I'll see you later.

All right. Be safe.
Have fun.

Bye.

ELLIS: You certainly
look the part.

I'll take that
as a compliment.

Anyone at the shelter
have you thinking?

Could be this guy
Dan Harris.
He runs the place.

All right.
Is that all?

Trevor Heath.

And my bet is
that is an alias.

I'll run him through
the Bureau database.

Along with the prints
on this fork.

You are gonna find a jacket
full of felonious assaults.

So, where are my dossiers?

Ah.

So, I got in there, right?

Listen to this.

Taylor and Ramirez
were both suicidal.

Been seen several times
at the VA
over the past few months.

Meaning?

That's the only pattern
I've found so far.

What about Nichols?

I don't know.
The file's empty.

Someone must have
pulled his chart.

Well, he is the outlier.

Yeah.

Must have seen something
he shouldn't have seen.

(SCREAMING)

And that, my friend,
is suspect number two,

Trevor Heath.

You want to have
a face-to-face with him?

Absolutely.

(GRUNTS)

TREVOR: Your world is a mess!

A goat rodeo!

Bedlam!

And I was put here
to clean it up!

Okay.

There.

Trevor, no!

You don't want
to do this, son.

There are places

where there is no pain.

No, no, no!

(SIREN WAILING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Who tipped off
the reporters? Hmm?

Is this our guy?
Did he do this?

Did you call them?

Is this our guy?

CONRAD: I said no press!

We have zero information
on who's behind this.

Who gives a damn
who shook the tree

as long as the tree
got shook?

Now, is this our guy?

Doubtful.
Knife doesn't match.

Trevor just got out
of jail.

His name is Derek Matthews,
24, from Kansas City.

I told you DOD didn't
want this in the headlines.

Nichols was
a decorated soldier, hero,

and you let the press
gang-bang him.

Whatever got us there.

So, Joe knew Nichols.
He's gonna keep a lookout.

Look, you want to
give a guy 20 bucks,

give the guy 20 bucks,
but do not pretend to me
he's a source.

What's your problem, huh?

He's one of us.

So he's a vet.

We got one job
and one job only,

and that is
to find the killer,

not take care
of their little lives.

You act like
you don't care,

but there's a lot of moves
you could have made

other than
going to the press.

Just admit it, all right?
You wanted this story
out there.

Even if I did,

it would have been
the best move to make.

Whether I care or not
does not matter.

Hey, Harris.
Hey, what's happening?

Taking care of yourself?

Yeah. How you doing?
I'm good. I'm good.

JESS: Perry, Perry.

(HORN HONKS)
Perry.

Hey.
Oh, hey, Jess.

Hey.

How you doing?
Cool, man, cool.

So, where are your things?

At my folks'.

I'm not homeless.

Get in.

Okay.

I'm getting my own place.

Supposed to be last week,
but the VA lost
my paperwork.

As soon as my disability
comes through, man...

How much they owe you?

Lost foot? 30%.

No.
Mmm-hmm.

Sometimes I wish
I'd lost above the ankle.

That's 40%.
No, you don't.

It works about the same.

Oh.

So, you've been out a year,
and they have not given you
your disability?

Yeah.

(BARKER SCOFFS)

I had the Lieutenant Colonel
looking into it.

Probably made
a thousand calls
on behalf of the mission.

You know,
but now that he's...

Oh, you talking
about Nichols?

Yeah.
You know him?

Yes!

(JESS LAUGHS)
I served with him.

I put some flowers
in front of his place

if you want to
go by there.

In Lincoln Park?

No.

It's right around
the corner.

(SWITCH CLICKING)

(MUTTERS)

So, Conrad had called.

We now finally have
a solid lead.

(SIGHS) What is it?

Memorial Hospital read about
the victims in the Sun-Times.

They called to say
that they had a spike

in morphine ODs
from vets,

every one of them homeless.

ELLIS: Different mode
of killing.

Yep.

You think it's the same guy?

My guess
is Memorial was
his early work.

Now, I found these

at Nichols' flophouse
right next to the shelter.

What about his place
in Lincoln Park?

Did not live there.

Must have been
too lonely for him.

So all three victims
were homeless.

Yep.

Blake.
Yeah.

Every letter,
the same signature. Blake.

You ran into him
at the VA.

What is your take on him?

Yeah, um,
I don't know.
He seemed okay.

He was overwhelmed, though.

And he does have access
to all the files

and all three victims.

Mmm-hmm.

And Blake
also has privileges
at Memorial.

Maybe you should have
a face-to-face
with Dr. Blake.

Guess I'm gonna have to.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in.

Please, have a seat.

What does that file say?

It says you were
a very fine soldier,
Mr. Perry.

(LAUGHS)

It don't say that.

Well, I can assure you
that it does.

No, sir.

It says you have
an exemplary service career,

and then you were honorably
discharged 12 years ago.

I'm not interested in what
it says in this file, Kevin.

I'm more interested in
why you came in today.
Why don't you sit down?

I read
in the papers that

there's some psycho
out there killing vets.

Well, with all due respect,
Kevin,

I don't think
that's why you're today.

Just sit down.
Just tell me
what's going on.

Well...

The days, they...

Never, uh...

(SNIFFLES)

Ever end. And...

I can't sleep.

Well, you can't fall asleep?
You can't stay asleep?

(STUTTERING) I just
need a drug
to help me sleep,

and I'll leave.

All right,
I can arrange for that.

But you said something about
"the days never end."

What do you mean by that?

What do you think it means?

I think you're having
nightmares, Kevin.

I think you're having
nightmares...
Nightmares?

I ain't having
any nightmares. It's...

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

They're real.

It's like...

It's like happening
all over again.

(SNIFFLES)

What's happening
all over again?

He's right there.

He's so close I can

hear him breathe.

He knows
exactly where I am, and...

Every time I move,

I mean,
even the tiniest bit...

His breathing stops.
My breathing stops.

And he's scared.

I'm scared.

And, uh...

(SIGHS)

Who's "he"?

The enemy.

And if...

(LAUGHS)

If he only knew
any English,

he'd know my CO
was in my ear,
barking at me,

going, "Kill him. Kill him.
Take the door.

"Kill him.
Take the door,
god damn it."

And...

But he knew...

I mean, we'd been
at a standstill
for over an hour.

And, and, and...

So, I reached

and I took out my knife.

He could actually
hear me unsheathe it.

And...

I rounded the corner...

And he was already
half dead.

He was curled up in a corner,
propped against the wall.

He was

staring at me.

(SNIFFLES)

And you had to kill him.

No, I wanted to save him.

The blood...

He was bleeding and bleeding,
and I looked around

for something
to stop it,

to tourney it with.

(STUTTERING) And I ripped off
this piece of curtain,

this dirty piece of blue,
old curtain,

and I wrapped it.

I pulled and I pulled,
and I...

(INHALES SHARPLY)

(SNIFFLES)

I couldn't
stop the bleeding.

I understand.

He's all I see.

His eyes staring at me.

He keeps begging me
to finish him off.

And I can't.

There was no saving him.

He was...
He was just a boy.

There was no saving him.

He was 12.

And, ultimately,
he would have suffered,

and he would have died.

And you know what you did?
You stopped the suffering.

You said there will be
no suffering, Kevin.

I will not allow it!

Is that what you do?

What do you mean,
is that what I do?

What does that mean?

Can you stop
the suffering?

I make it go away.

(SNIFFLES)

Is that what you did
for that Nichols and Ramirez?

What? Who?

What about that Taylor?
He had a baby girl.

No.

You know, I heard
something about you.

Over at that
Memorial Hospital.

Was that you
making it go away?

Now, you don't understand
something here.

Those men? Those men
were overwhelmed by pain.

They were overwhelmed
with pain.

And what I did...

You know, what I did,
I did out of mercy.

Mercy?
It was mercy,
what I did!

I took the pain away!

I killed those men

because they were in pain!

Those men didn't
come here for mercy.

They came here for help.

I am done in here.

You don't understand.
I saved them from themselves.

Let's move.

I saved them
from hurting others.

You could have helped
those men.

I did.
I did help those men.

I did help them.

I helped them.
OFFICER: Let's go.

I helped them!

When did you know
you had him?

He wanted to confess.
He just needed a prompt.

You were really
in Afghanistan?

Yeah.

Was that
really what happened?

Did you believe it?

Yeah.

Then I did my job.

Macedonia.

BARKER:
I wanted to save him.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hey.
Hey.

You look tired.

Yeah?

I'm okay.

You all right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

MAN: Rose, you coming?

Yeah, in a second.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah.
Okay.

Thanks for asking.

See you around.
