"Victoria Nelson, PI." "Cute." "You son of a bitch!" "Easy, easy, easy." "I was just trying to protect myself." "Perhaps a bit too forcefully." "You think?" "I didn't have time to pick up your glasses." "I see you carry an extra pair." "Thank you." "Now, I know you won't believe me, but I don't want to hurt you." "Yeah?" "You've got a funny way of showing it." "I wasn't the one threatening the other's dental work." "My smile is my best feature." "I've never met a vain serial killer." "I didn't kill that woman." "I was trying to stop it." "And why would I believe that?" "You were there." "You must have seen it." "I saw something." "I don't know... what I saw." "The problem with your eyes... it's more than just bad vision?" "Yeah, it's called Retinitis Pigmentosa." "It's a progressive loss of visual function." "It starts with night blindness." "Then your vision tunnels... so that it feels like you're looking through a straw." "Next stop, blindness, and to top it off, I'm near-sighted." "People with that condition might want to stay away from night-time stakeouts." "Yeah, are we gonna talk about my vision or are you gonna... tell me what it was I'm supposed to have seen." "It was a demon." "A demon?" "Sure." "Why not?" "You're taking this rather calmly." "Well, I'd be more concerned if I actually believed it." "I suppose I wouldn't either." "So, how did you wind up there?" "I'm busting your chops for talking about demons, and I was out hunting a vampire." "Yeah, I know." "I'm going to let you in on a little secret, okay?" "You believe in vampires." "I am a vampire." " You didn't try and kill me." " Was I supposed to?" "Isn't that what vampires do?" "Unless of course, you also thought that garlic and silver crosses would hurt them." "Call me old-fashioned, but, I'm pretty religious." "Okay, say you are..." "a vampire, Mr...?" "Henry Fitzroy." "Fitzroy." "Why would you be trying to stop another blood sucker?" "That's hardly professional courtesy, is it?" "I couldn't have something like that running around town... terrifying the masses, now could I?" "The next thing you know, the villagers are out with their stakes and their torches." " That happen much?" " Often enough." " Really?" " Really." "I've lived a long time, almost 500 years." "Yeah, I wouldn't have pegged you for a day over 450." "I use a great moisturizer." "You know, it's a shame you're not the more trusting type, Vicki." " That's a nice trick." " It's not a trick, Victoria." "I'm telling the truth." "That's what I'm afraid of." "1x02 "BLOOD PRICE (II)" Subtitles subXpacio" "The wounds are exactly the same but... she hasn't lost the same amount of blood." "Whoever killed her didn't have time to take it." "Right." "The radio car was on the scene about a minute after they heard the screams." "Yeah?" "They get a look at the guy?" "Well, uniform thought he saw something before he flipped the light on." "What makes me think I'm not gonna like this?" "Well, he thought it looked like a man in black, carrying a woman." "There's another thing." " They found these." " God dammit!" "This is Vicki, leave a message." "Vicki, it's me." "Where the hell are you?" "Call me as soon as you get this." "Why did you bring me here?" "If you had a more compliant personality, I could have made you forget what you saw." " But considering you're so..." " Strong-willed?" "Try 'hard-headed'." "I had two options, I could... eliminate you... or I could trust you." "Trusting's good." "If I sense I can't trust you," "I can still eliminate you before you do me any harm." "Just 'cause you got in a lucky shot, doesn't mean that I'm easy to kill." "Everybody's easy to kill." " Why me?" " You're a private investigator, and you were good enough to find him the same time I did." "The demon hunts nights, as do I." "But if there's a human who's calling him up and chances are, he's living his life by day." "You want to team up?" "Until the demon's stopped." "I gotta think about this." "Come to me tomorrow night with your answer." "And Vicki..." "I may be the only one who can stop this demon." "Don't even think of giving up my secret." "Who'd believe me?" "Should I call the cops, or do you just want to arrest yourself?" "Hey, I've been up all night looking for you." "God, you sound like my mother." "How the hell did you get in here?" "I showed the Super my badge." "It works wonders." "You gonna use that, or what?" "You know what?" "I haven't decided yet." "So, why... why were you looking for me?" "A uniform saw a woman being taken from the scene of a homicide last night." "You were there." "You are messing around with my investigation." "It's my investigation, too." "No, Vicki, you're wandering around half-blind, looking for somebody who's already killed four people." "That's a good way of becoming number five." "Aw, you know what?" "I'm, uh..." "I'm just happy that you're alive, all right?" "Talk to you later." "You said you had this covered." " We're on it, okay?" " And the Chief is on me, the Mayor is on him, and the paper's are on all of us." "All right, look." "We found a pattern to the crimes." "It looks like there's some kind of Satanist agenda here." "Great." "Even if we break it, it's going to make news for the next ten years." "I want this freak taken down, and fast." "We done?" "One more thing." "I heard Vicki Nelson's got her nose in this." "No, she's working a separate investigation." "That's not what I heard." "We can't afford her anywhere near this." "She's a wild card." "Vicki cleared just about every homicide she ever pulled." "We'd be lucky to have her on this." "You do not want to stake your career on that statement, Celluci." "I guess we're working together." "History buff?" "Family photo." " Right." " You believe I'm a vampire, but you don't believe I had a father?" "And he just happened to be one of the most famous figures in history." "But that would make you Henry, Duke of Richmond." "You surprise me again." "How did you know that?" "I have a minor in history." "I learned mine the hard way." "I lived through it." "So how did you end up drawing comic books?" "Graphic novels." "Art and literature have always been my passions." "I finally found a medium where I can fully realize the both of them." "This is going to take some getting used to." "Okay, partner." "Why don't we start by you telling me how you know so much about demons?" "London in the 1890s." "They called themselves the Hellfire Club." "Rich men and women who went to any length... to relieve the boredom of their pampered lives." "Mr. Fitzroy," "I've heard so much about you." "The club gave them the sense they were being wicked." "They had no idea." "Welcome." "And that's when the evil, at the center of it all came out to play." "O'Mara was performing a ritual." "I didn't know if it was real or not." "I knew he was trifling with something better left alone." " Why?" " I demand your service!" " What do you demand?" " Eternal life!" "And what do you offer in return?" "Blood and a soul." "A Nightwalker in our midst!" "Take him and give me his power!" "Oh, yes." "You shall have your power, and I shall be free." "Finish the ritual, Nightwalker." "Use his blood to bring me through." "The power will be yours." "Anything you want!" "All I want right now, is for you to go to hell!" "We will meet again, Nightwalker." "I took the grimoire so that none of O'Mara's followers would use it again." "It was the smell at one of the crime scenes that gave it away, the worst kind of corruption imaginable." "I guess demonology's not for people with sensitive noses." "Once the demon touches them, their minds are so broken, they don't even know the difference." "Whoever's called this demon still thinks he's in control." "Well, if this guy's not calling the shots, what does the demon want?" "The thing I saw last night was a minor demon." "His job is to open a door to bring a much more powerful demon through." "Once the pentagram is complete, all it takes is one more sacrifice to open that door." " You sure about this?" " His master is Astaroth, the same demon I fought 100 years ago." "Great." "And what, pray tell, happens at Astaroth's coming-out party?" "That's when all hell breaks loose." "So, for those of us who skipped Demonology 101, define 'All hell breaks loose'." "Pure evil unleashed on Earth." " Like what?" "Wars?" " Of Biblical proportions." "Death, pestilence and despair ruling for 1000 years." "Most will become corrupt and fall sway to the dark forces." "Those who don't, will die horribly." "You know, don't go painting it all rosy-colored for my benefit." "Demons have escaped in the past." " Why haven't I heard of this?" " You've heard of their work." "The slave trade, the Black Death, Stalin's atrocities in Russia." "So if we stop the one who's calling the demons," " ...do we stop the demon?" " If we get to it in time." " The trick is finding him." " Where do we start?" "Well, the demon from last night can only offer material goods." "Well, we can't just go looking at every newly rich person in town." "Well, the demon can't create the goods." "He has to steal them, from somewhere close to where he's going to deliver them." "Well, I guess we know what I'm doing." "How about you?" "Now it's time for me to take a nap." "Victoria..." "Vicki." "Victoria was an overweight Queen." "She wore it well, though." "Trust me." "I wanted to thank you for your help." "I haven't met anyone quite like you in over a lifetime." "Well, you know, 500 years old or not, you and I start hanging out together, people will say I'm robbing the cradle." "I'm willing to take that chance if you are." "It must be that vampire magnetism I find so tempting." "My powers of persuasion don't work on you." "Then I guess it's just you." "Past your bedtime, isn't it?" "So you found the vampire?" "Know what?" "I can honestly tell you it's not a vampire." "You're as bad as the police." "Look, I threw the I-Ching, consulted my spiritualist." "How much more proof do you need?" "I know a vampire did it." "And so do you." "If you won't help me prove it, I'll do it myself." "Seen any vampires lately, Coreen?" " I don't have time for this." " Maybe it was a giant mosquito." "Hey, it was her boyfriend, man, give her a break." "It was a vampire, and I'm going to prove it." "Coreen..." "Get yourself some help." "That's the theft reports from the last week." "More in the last couple weeks than the whole month before." "Keep that stuff in order or you're gonna have some filing to do, too." "It's like I never left." " It's good to see you around again, Vick." " Yeah, you too." "Still searching for your vampire?" "Not a vampire." "It's definitely not a vampire." "Since when?" "I was just messing with you." "Come on, who believes in vampires?" "Well, you were all over me about it yesterday, weren't you?" "Mike, you're out of practice." "You don't even know when I'm playing you any more?" "So what's this?" "Uh..." "I've walked away from the homicide." "I've... got to trace a stolen Mercedes for a bail bondsman." "Really?" "Vicki Nelson walking away from a case, just like that?" "Yup." "Other paying clients waiting for service." "Well..." "Good luck to you then." "Thanks." "Nice tie." "No!" "If you didn't get the blood you needed, that's your problem!" "You're supposed to be so powerful!" "You let him stop you." "Unforeseen circumstances." "It won't happen again." "Not when the one after me arrives." "And you are sure he will serve me?" "Every wish, every whim, every dream, every desire." "You're the master." "That's right." "Go, go run off and do whatever you gotta do." "I just want her to be mine!" "I've ID'd a number of thefts that seem kind of hinky." "Stuff stolen from a locked room." "A Porsche taken from a showroom full of people." "Cash taken from a bank vault that had a time lock." "Child's play for a demon." "All of them are around the University Annex." "Chances are good that our target is right in the center." "I mean, our demon caller might even be a student." "That's still too big an area." "Well, unless you have a demon GPS around here somewhere, this is all we have." "I was hoping not to have to do this." "What do you mean?" "You actually have a demon GPS?" "I have always avoided contact with the Dark Arts." "Although what I'm going to do isn't much more than a parlor trick, is still repugnant." "Do you want to leave?" "I'm always up for a good trick." "Sector demonium sanguis nunc." "Hey, I can see you." "Man, another vampire myth blown to bits!" "That's not what we needed to show." "I took this from the demon in the park." "This is the one we seek." "We need to know where it will strike next." "I know where that is." "It looks like a city park." "There could be 20 places like that." "Demons aren't the only ones who hunt lonely places at night." "I know this city." "It's by Queen's Park." "All right then, let's go." "Too bad that spell didn't tell us when he was going to strike." "He won't waste any time." "He'll take his last sacrifice tonight." "You love it, don't you?" "The night." "All of this." "It's what I am." "It's what I've been for a long time." "Speaking of which, how exactly does one... become a vampire?" "Vacation in Transylvania." "Come on, I'm serious." "It was a woman, Christina." "We met at my father's court." "She was only there during the evenings and she wouldn't let me see her during the day." "Suppose you love someone so much you just shut off your rational mind." "Yeah, I'm familiar with the phenomenon." "So she... she fed on you?" "That's one reason to take a mortal lover." "Didn't you notice the marks on your neck?" "My neck wasn't the only place she put her mouth." "Then, after about a year, she finally confessed to me what she was." "People in the court had become suspicious, and she had to move on." "I begged her to turn me." "Wait." "You wanted to become a vampire?" "I wanted to be like her." "I wanted to be..." "I wanted to be with her, forever." "Forever's a long time." "She warned me that two vampires couldn't share the same hunting grounds, but I didn't believe her." "I told her that true love would prevail." "She drank my blood and I drank hers." "I died, and... returned from death." "She showed me the ways of the night." "Our lovemaking was like we were on fire." "You should work in recruitment." "Then shortly after a year," "I was feeding on a woman I'd met at a tavern." "Christina was suddenly there, angry, vicious." "Jealous." "It was the territorial instinct she had warned me about." "We almost killed each other, then she was gone." " I'm sorry." " I should have listened to her." "I'd have lost her anyway, but still..." "You never saw her again?" "If you live long enough, everything comes around again." "All I need is your friend's blood." "But I've never been able to refuse a second round." " You okay?" " Yeah." "What the hell are those things?" "You know what?" "You really don't want to know." "But you might want to get out of here!" "Now!" "Come on, go!" "See?" "We're stronger." "When the master arrives, you'll suffer." "Henry!" "Henry?" "Tell me you okay?" "You're okay, right?" "You're okay." "Come on, you just heal, right?" "You just heal!" "You can do it." "Come on, you okay?" "I need..." "I need to feed." "Enough!" "I gotta go home!" "I need to go." "Take me home." "Mr. Fitzroy?" "Come on..." "Are you okay?" "What...?" "So we're skating' nation on that, right?" "Back some sweet backside air." "And we're thrashed, I mean stoked, but thrashed." "So then we come walking back through the park." "All of a sudden, Bam!" "This thing jumps on my buddy, Chad, and then hits my head busting a south shore birthday." " What the hell did you just say?" " Man..." "English!" "Dude, look, I don't know who this guy was, all right?" "He was just scary and strong." "I mean, check it, seven ply maple hardwood," " ...sliced through it like it was cheese." " And then he just let you go?" "Nah, that's when the other dude came." "Oh yeah, another guy with like, uh big teeth and leather wings." "This was just a dude." "But he went all Bruce Lee on this thing, man." "I mean, you should've just seen it, like faster than you could see." "Brother, and the chick!" "Wait a minute." "Don't tell me." "Glasses, blonde, good looking." "Oh yeah, hot!" "The first guy laid a smackdown on her, too." "Wait a second." "Is she all right?" "I don't know, man." "First chance I saw, I was outta there." "I'll tell you what." "Make sure that this officer has your information." " We'll be in touch with you soon, all right?" " My buddy, Chad, is he...?" "We'll be in touch with you, thank you." "Best bet at finding this guy and the poor guy's a space case." "Another murder last evening by Metro's vampire killer... brings the death toll to five." "Now few details are available at this time, but sources suggest that, although he did escape, the killer may have been injured in the encounter." "Keep it here on your local news... for complete coverage of this developing story and we'll continue to bring you..." "Vicki, it's me." "I've left messages at your office, your home and your cell." "Call me as soon as you get this!" "Mr. Fitzroy?" "Oh, crap!" " Hi." " Hi." "Can I help you?" "Oh, I was just... just..." "I was just checking in." "I was worried about Mr. Fitzroy." "Oh, that's so sweet of you." "Henry's, um..." "Henry's fine." "Hey, babe, it's just the doorman." "Henry's a little bit..." "tied up, right now." "I'm sorry, I... absolutely, I didn't want to disturb anything... anyone." " That's okay." " Sorry." "But, you have yourself a good night, all right?" " Thank you, you too." " Thanks." "What am I, an idiot?" "How long have you been awake?" " Long enough." " Yeah, well..." "Get dressed." "We've got a lot of work to do." "You're beautiful." "Chop, chop, mister." "So I guess it shouldn't really be a surprise that a professor of the occult works late." "She's a bit of a nighthawk herself." "I've consulted for her on various matters over the years." "Does she know what you are?" "She's been a good friend." "I've missed you." "So this is your new friend." "Hi, Vicki Nelson, Private Investigator." "We're working together on something." "Sorry to keep you late, but we need some information about a student." "Anything, Henry." "You know that." "We believe a student at the university might have taken an interest in demonology." "A more than academic interest." "Every year, there's a few." "They play one too many games of Dungeons and Dragons... and then they start looking into places they have no business." "Can you get us names?" "Uh... current students?" "Anyone, perhaps, from previous years?" "If you give me an hour, I could fax you seven or eight names you might want to check out." "All right." "Here's my card, fax number." "I hope nobody's gotten into trouble because of this stuff." " Vicki Nelson." " Vick, it's me." "Hey, Mike, how's it going?" "I've got a body at the skate park." "Skate park?" "Yeah, no, I have no idea." "This kid says you were there." "You want to come in for a line-up?" "Oh... well, that sounds like a..." "like a really good time, but um..." "I'm kind of busy tonight." "Come on, Vicki, talk to me." "Tell me what the hell is going on." "Let me help you." "Listen, I'm getting a list of names that I have to run and uh..." "I think one of them might be our killer." "All right, don't tell me." "One of them's a vampire." "Uh... it's actually worse than that." "Mike, listen." "I don't expect you to believe me, but you asked me to keep you in the loop on this and that's what I'm doing." "All right?" "I'm not going crazy." "At least I don't think I am." "All right." "Fax it over and I'll see what I can do." "Okay, I appreciate it." "Thank you." "This cop, Mike, there's a story there." " A long and twisted one." " You still care about him?" " Professional curiosity as a writer?" " You could say that." "I don't know what's between me and him anymore." "Speaking professionally, that's pretty common." "I've got to go." "If you find our man before tomorrow night, don't try to take him yourself." "Wait for me." "And what should I tell him?" "Just to... stop killing for a little while?" "Bravery... is a powerfully attractive trait in a woman." "Stupidity is not." "I'll call you." "Travis Macdonald, 30 Edith St. Got it." "You know what?" "As you go through the list, be on the lookout for anyone with a fancy red Porsche, okay?" ""...do anything stupid." Mike!" "Come on!" "You know me better than that." "All right, talk to you." "Bye." "You're Coreen, right?" "Yeah, I'm, uh..." "Norman." "From the... pub?" "Big tipper?" "Remember?" "Hey, what's up?" "Well, I heard you talking to those people the other day... about how you were looking for that vampire." "You know what?" "I don't need anybody else to make fun of me right now." "I don't want to make fun of you." "No, no, no, I believe you." "There are supernatural forces at play here." "You're serious?" "I can prove it to you." "Hey, you're the only person who'll believe me, Coreen." "You know who killed him?" "What proof do you have?" "I'll answer all your questions but, uh..." "I can't do it here." "All the proof is back at my place." "Come on, let's go." "Hey, that's cool." "You don't want to come, that's fine." "I called the police." "They didn't want to listen." " I thought you'd understand." " All right, just give me a minute, okay?" "This is Vicki, beep's coming, leave a message." "Vicki, it's Coreen." "I met this guy named Norman." "He says he knows about Ian's murder and the vampire." "I'm going to his place." "I'll call you if I get anything." "You all set?" "You know, Coreen, I've waited for somebody like you for a long time." "Somebody who I could really talk to." "Somebody who cared about the same things I do, like vintage computers, Medieval fairs..." "You know what, Norman?" "Can we make this quick?" "I mean, I have to meet somebody." "Don't worry." "I'm the only friend you're ever going to need, Coreen." "Thank you." "So these are the candidates for our serial killer?" "Half these kids haven't left their bedroom this month." "Somebody on this list is our guy, Dave." "Mike, this last guy's mom still cuts his crusts off." "And I know Vicki." "If somebody on that list isn't our guy, then he's a witness." "So who's next?" "Nobody believed me." "But that's all changing now, isn't it?" "And soon, you're going to see for yourself." "See what?" "The demon!" "Not just a demon!" "This time, I'm gonna call a Demon Lord." " What are you gonna do?" " Well..." "It's a ritual." "And you know how it is." "You call up a demon, something's gonna die, right?" "Not you!" "Not you." "Hell you know, some of those people had to die." "They had it coming." "But when I chose your boyfriend, what was his name?" " Ian." " Yeah, whatever." " You killed Ian?" " Well," "I did it so we could be together." "I did." "I did it so we could be together." "And when I call that Demon Lord and he serves me," "you're gonna be my Queen." "All right." "Ready?" "Let's get this show on the road." "Vicki, it's Coreen." "I met this guy named Norman." "He says he knows about Ian's murder and the vampire." "I'm going to his place." "I'll call you if I get anything." "Oh, shit!" "Henry, it's me." "I've got our guy." "His name is Norman Bridewell, 52 Lunnigan Ave." "I'm on my way." "Get there as soon as you wake up." "52 Lunnigan." "Don't worry." "I'm gonna get you out of here." "I think we found our final sacrifice." "Henry, it's me." "I've got our guy." "His name is Norman Bridewell, 52 Lunnigan Ave." "I'm on my way." "Get there as soon as you wake up." "See, I need another life, to bring the Demon Lord." "I was gonna order a pizza delivery guy, but you're so much better." "You know, she's like part of the family." "Yeah, well, next time, leave me off the list for the reunion." " Took you long enough to get here." " Sorry." "See?" "You couldn't even find a proper sacrifice, so I..." "I had to find my own." "Lord Astaroth will be pleased." "Don't listen to him!" "He's using you!" "Trying to mess with your head." "What are you talking about?" "You don't even know him." "For all you know, he's a nice guy." "Look at him, right?" "All right, so tell me." "What do I got to say to get him here?" "He's here..." "Finally." "Finally is right." "I've been waiting a long time." "You were the one who called me?" "Quickly perform the sacrifice so I can fully enter this plane, and then you will have what you wish." "That's what I'm talking about, man!" "Norman!" "He's lying!" "He's not going to give you anything!" "He's going to kill you!" "He's going to kill all of us!" "Shut up!" "Does this happen much in sacrifices?" "'Cause I think she could be a little bit more cooperative." "Kill her!" "Ah, crap!" "Eternity is long." "I will be back for you." "My hands." "It won't come off." "We can't worry about that now." "You're okay." "Let's get out of here." "Vicki, what the hell did I just see?" "It's a really long story." "But I'm sure glad I'm not the one writing the report." "Vicki, I can't thank you enough." "Not just for finding Ian's killer, but for proving to me there really are vampires." "Who said there really are vampires?" "Henry." "I saw him, remember?" "The eyes, the teeth, all the rest." "Well, I think it would be better for all concerned if you... never mentioned that ever again." "I agree." "Nobody would believe me." "But now that I know, I will be a great assistant for you." "What?" "Look, I haven't been to class in two months, so school's not an issue." "I can help you." "Plus, it'll help keep me quiet about what I've seen." "Five hundred a week." "No benefits unless you count bad coffee." "Thank you!" " Thank you." " Don't ever do that again." "I wanted to thank you for your help, Vicki." "You're a great detective." "Thanks, though it was weird working with you." "But, I enjoyed it." "Good." "This won't be the end for us." " No?" " You gave me your blood." "You're part of me now." "You know, feel free to..." "call me if you need to... hunt down any demons, or anything." "Vicki, speaking of demons..." "These, right?" "I don't know what they mean, if they mean anything at all." "But you're worried." "That I may have just agreed to go steady with a demon." "All I know is Astaroth is an enemy of both of us now." "Then I ask we'd better stay in touch." "You'd better..." "Talking to yourself again?" " You know me." " Yeah." "I was just enjoying the night air." "Oh, you're shivery." "It's not that cold." "Maybe it's not the cold." "Well, come on." " What's with the arm?" " Sorry, excuse me."
