"Previously on Moonlight..." "I wanna help people." "It's why I became a P.I." "I heard what you said." "That I'm a vampire." "So do you bite people's necks and suck the blood out?" "Actually, I-I get most of my blood from the blood bank." "What about daylight?" "Daylight's not good,but the longer I'm in the sun,the worse I feel." "It's gonna get dangerous, Beth." "Then it's a good thing I got you around." "My wife turned me on our wedding night." "You're the first human that I have told any of this to." "So,yeah, I trust you." "what do you do when the one thing you need to save your life..." "Is the one thing that would make life unbearable?" "you're probably wondering how someone like me ends up near death in no-star motel hell." "Hard to believe it started just yesterday." "21 HOURS EARLIER" "Blood is life for vamps and humans alike." "It warms us and thrills us,helps us heal," "But vamps will always be jealous of the living," "Like renters versus owners." "You can make your own blood." "We've got to beg,borrow or work it into the budget." "Day 16 of the murder trial of arms dealer amir fayed brought few surprises" "And no real progress for prosecutor joshua lindsey." "Fayed is accused of murdering jack toland," "An associate who was later revealed to be a police informant." "Since the federal racketeering case fell apart last fall,deputy d.a.Lindsey says that this murder trial may be the last chance to bring this monster to justice," "But the defense has painted a solid picture of fayed as a diplomat," "Philanthropist and most importantly,an innocent man." "With reasonable doubt running high," "Lindsey will have his hands full this monday as the trial nears its end." "This is Beth turner for buzzwire." "Your confidence in me is overwhelming." "I think I was overcompensating with the dry and factual." "I was afraid I'd start babbling about how hot you are." "So what do you have cooked up for monday?" " What are you talking about?" " Please." "All the late night calls,the cat-that-ate-the-canary smile?" "Maybe I'm cheating on you." "Who would cheat..." "On this?" "Good point." "Come on." "I know how you work." "You wouldn't be this cool unless you had an ace in the hole." " A secret witness?" " Yeah,right" "*******" "This place might be safe,but it's never quiet." "What's up with all the helicopters?" "Crime never sleeps." "So we can't either?" "There's a good deejay spinning down the street." "Who wants to go clubbing?" "Yeah,let me just put my bling on." "Fine." "I'll just read my trashy tabloid, if someone remembered." "Ye of little faith." "Thank you,officer colden." " Good night." " Sleep well." "Hey." "It's leni." "Can you talk?" "Everyone's got an opinion." "You know,gas,propane." "Who cares?" "I hate barbecuing." "But anna's parents-- they like that mesquite crap." "Man,you gotta go with the gas line." "Who is it?" "Oh,yeah.Hey. My name's eli." "I live down the hall." "I'm sorry to bug you guys,but i shelled out for the pay-per-view-- gonzales and whittaker-- and now my cable's gone all wonky." "Can you check yours?" "Sorry." "Take cover!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go! Some couples just aren't meant to be together." "Take me and Beth." "She has a very real boyfriend,and,well,after coraline..." "I have understandable trust issues." "Still,when I see it's Beth calling..." "I always pick up." " Hello?" " Mick,hey.It's Beth." "Hadn't heard from her in a week," "Ever since I trusted her with the charming story of" "How my wife turned me into a vampire on our wedding night." "Now Beth wanted to come over." " Josh." " Oh,thanks." "An I'm sorry about crashing your sunday morning, but I wouldn't do it if it wasn't an emergency." "Well,you're here now,so..." "I know we didn't exactly get off on the right foot," "But vei' heard good things from Beth." "I'm glad the buzz is good." "What's your point?" "I wanna hire you to find someone." "A witness has gone missing." "Don't the cops work for you?" "They do,and they're running their own investigation," "But there's a leak somewhere," "And I need someone outside the system to find her." "I actually had to drag Beth here." "She didn't want me to bother you." "Okay,tell me about your witness." "This mean you'll do it?" "No, it means i'll listen." "Hey,you came to me." "Her name's leni hayes." "She was the nanny for amir fayed's daughter." "The arms dealer?" "Yeah,and she's only 22,but smart." "Leni was in the wrong place at the wrong time." "She saw fayed murder one of his guys,jack toland," "And she's been in a safe house in hollywood for the last month." "Last night,they were hit." "I need you to find leni and bring her back to testify." "Okay." "Two cops protecting her were d.o.a." "They were good guys." "An hour later,and I would've taken over graveyard shift for nagawa." "I probably wouldn't use that tertom day if I was you." "I thought I told you to take the day off today." "I wanna help catch the bastards who did this and help get leni back." "Then go back to my office and give kevin your statement." "Who's he?" "He's none of your business." "We think there must have been a couple of shooters." "There was only one." "Smoke makes a good silent partner." "We don't think any of this is leni's blood." "It's not." "There's no estrogen." " Beth said you had an interesting way of working." " Yeah?" "She also said it's never boring around you." "If an attack came from the front," "Leni was instructed to go out through the kitchen service entrance and then down the back stairs." "But she didn't." "What makes you think that?" "Well,there were bullets flying that way." "You think she went out the window?" "Yeah." "She cut herself on the latch on the way out." "Sir?" "Y--just one second." "She went this way." "This guy's good." "Somehow I thought you were exaggerating." "What did you find inside?" "Beth,remember our deal." "Come on." "I waited outside while you walked him through the scene." "Leni's trail ends at a spot just past that dumpster." "The freshest tire treads are something big--a truck,s.u.v." "Colden drives a truck." "Well,can you put an a.p.b.out on it?" "Better yet,he had it lojacked." "I'll get a warrant for the records." "We're running out of time here." "Best I can do." "Look, I gotta get back to my office." " Keep me informed." " Yeah." "Warrant's gonna take too long." "Tell me somethin' I don't know." "Steve, it's Beth." "I need you to tap into the lojack system." "Find me the current location of a truck registered to richard colden." "Okay,she steals the cop's truck to get away." "Why would leni come here?" "There's no record of friends or family to hide out with." "Dalton avenue sounds so familiar." "I think I have covered a story here once." "So what's your deal with josh?" "Oh,we've been together for a while." "He's smart,funny,um..." "No,no,no." "I meant your deal from the alley." "Oh,right." "Quid pro quo." "He's really worried about this leak,thinks his calls are being tapped." "I'm a clean line of communication with you." "So what's in it for you?" "The story of leni's safe recovery." "Sounds like a conflict of interest to me." "Post-verdict." "It's all legal." "Hey." "I have been covering my boyfriend's cases long before I met you." "So how long can you stay outside?" "Like,how much sun is too much?" "Any is too much." "You're a delicate flower,Mick st.John." "Don't you have a job or something?" "Yes." "Today it's following you." "After last time,what with the incinerator and the stakes in the heart," "I wasn't sure if I was gonna see you again." "It was a lot to process," "But I'm--I'm glad you told me about your wife turning you and..." "Yeah." "I think this is it." "Whose house is this?" "I don't know." "I think leni knew where the spare key was." "Hold that." "Why would leni come here?" "To clean herself up." "And to get some protection." "Okay." "So the mystery owner has a gun,bandages,subpar housecleaning skills." "Mick,this is jack toland's house." "The guy fayed's accused of killing?" "I didn't know leni knew him." "Nobody did,not even josh." "She was his witness." "Why would she hide something like this?" "Looks like they were in love." "If that was true,maybe she kept it a secret so her testimony wouldn't seem biased." "Let me see that." "164 las cruces lane." "It's in victorville." "Fingers crossed." "Rapid trek bus lines." "Yeah,can I have the times for all the l.a./victorville buses today,please." "Wait a moment,pleasr" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Well,this is where we go our separate ways." "Why can't I go with you?" "Because this girl is scared,and she has a gun." "Besides,you're my contact to josh,remember?" "I know, it's just that being on the hunt with you is kinda fun." "Yeah, it's a giant thrill ride that never ends." "You know,sometimes, it does end..." "With terrible screams and bloodshed." "Still..." "We make a good team." "Come on." "Come on." "Try this one." " Swap you." " Thanks." "You got a problem?" "No,but you do,leni." "Who are you?" "I'm Mick st.john. I'm a private detective." "Josh lindsey hired me to get you back to l.a.safely." "Well, i'm not going back." "Don't come any closer." "I'm here to protect you." "Yeah,that's what the cops said." "Listen,you gotta trust me." "When I get shot, it still hurts like hell, but I know it won't last for long." "I'm okay.You missed" "I never even fired a gun before." "My boyfriend always said i should learn.I don't" "Your boyfriend?" "oh,just in case." "Jack toland?" "I have been to his house." "I know you two were involved." "So I'm supposed to trust you?" "If I wanted to kill you,you'd be dead." "I just want to talk." " You hungry?" " Yeah." "Okay,come on." "Come on in." "Mick seems pretty confident he can get the jump on her." "Seems like he could get the jump on just about anyone." "Josh, I just got this pic" " Beth,hey." "When are you gonna dump this stiff and run away with me?" "Oh, I think one d.a.'s enough for me." "Ah,but you'll always wonder if it was the right one." "Did you get anything from the call log?" "10:30 last night,officer richard colden called a cell phone paid for by none other than amir fayed." "Are you serious?" "Colden called a hit on his own safe house?" "Yeah,frickin' dirty cop on the take." "I doubt if he expected to be part of the body count." "Looks like our leak was plugged." "If colden was our leak." "You think there was more on the force?" "I don't know,but either way, I wanna follow up on the cell phone call." "Yeah." "Hi.This is deputy d.a.lindsey for judge howard." "I need a warrant." "Yes, I know he's on the course." "I'll get backup." "I'll meet you out front in five." "Well,make sure he gets back to me." "I need this today." "When I get thirsty, I start to see blood everywhere." "Even the damn tomato juice made me think that" "Maybe I'd found a vamp-friendly vending machine." "oh,thanks." "so why were you working for fayed anyway?" "I was his daughter's nanny." "It's not mara's fault her dad's a sociopath." "What happened?" "I went downstairs to get mara a glass of water,and I heard shouting." "It was the night mr.fayed found out that jack was talking to the cops." "He just lost it." "Right there, in the living room,he just..." "Shot him." "I couldn't even scream." "I mean, it was like I was frozen." "Probabed savly your life." "Oh, I see what you're doing." "Trying to be all friendly,all you can talk to me." "I already told you, i'm not testifying." "You went to the d.a. You wanted to testify." "You cared so much about this guy." "Don't you want to see some justice for him?" "Jack." "This guy?" "His name is jack." "And I got him killed." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "He's not just some thug." " He was a good guy trying to go straight." " For you." "Yeah,for me." "The human heartbeat is always there in the background," "But I finally understood the strange echo I'd been hearing" "A smaller,faster heartbeat." "You're protecting the baby." "How did you know I'm pregnant?" "It makes sense." "You ran instead of calling josh because you knew that" "It wasn't just your life that you were risking anymore." "Right?" "The guard at the gate should have told you." "Mr.fayed isn't home." "Well, if he isn't,he's violating the terms of his parole." "Got a warrant." "Hi." " Hello?" " Beth." "It's Mick." "I'm with leni." "Oh,thank god." " She was in victorville." " Yeah." "She's scared,but I think she's gonna let me bring her back." "Why wouldn't she want to come back?" "She's pregnant." "You gotta handle her carefully,Mick." "Reassure her." "Yeah,well, it's not really my forte,but i'll try." "Okay." "I'll get josh." "Josh." "It's Mick." "Mick." "All right,sit tight." "I want to have local c sopescort you guys in." "What do you think?" "Yeah,yeah, I worked a case with them last year." "They're good men." "Okay,victorville p.d.will be there within an hour." "An hour?" "You know what?" "I don't need an escort,okay?" "I'm better on my own." "That wasn't a request." "Mick?" "You okay?" "Yeah,uh, i'm almost three months in." "I heard it gets better." "It's all gonna get better." "You got kids?" "No." "No, I don't." "Well, if it's a boy,maybe i'll call him Mick." "You should call him jack." "Jack's a good name." "I want justice for jack,but..." "Look at me." "You come with me." "I'm gonna protect you both." "I promise." "Okay?" "Okay." "Let's go." "My lawyer's on his way." "M.b.a.from stanford." "Figured you could read a simple warrant." "It's not bad enough you torment me in court." " Now you invade my home on a sunday?" " Home?" "It's more like visiting day in san quentin." "Cell phone records." "What is this?" "We're investigating a suspicious call made to your cell phone." "Cell phone I pay for." "There are dozens-- my family,my staff,my associates." "Well,how about we get your associates' cell phones out here on the table right now?" "And what will that prove?" "Maybe nothing." "Maybe a lot." "Ringers on,fellas." "Hey." "You're mara,right?" "I'm Beth,a friend of leni's." "I miss leni." "She used to take me to the beach." " Well,she's safe." " I know." "How do you know she's safe?" "I'm not supposed to say." "If my dad found out..." "He's really mad at her." "Oh,that's okay." "I won't tell your dad." "I promise." "Did leni call you last night?" "It was my birthday." " Can I see your cell phone?" " Yeah." "Thank you." "Josh, it's me." "Don't say anything." "Just come outside." "Officer colden didn't call this number." "Leni did." "Car 17,please report your e.t.a." "Car 17*******" "Mr.st.john?" "I'm officer clark.Victorville,p.d." "supposed to give you an escort back to l.a." "I told the d.a.i didn't need an escort." "I just know what I was told." "Must be hot in that jacket today." "I never get hot." "Cold as ice,huh?" "Something like that." "Your girl ready to go?" "Yeah,she's resting up in the ladies' room." "I'll,uh, i'll get her." "You know what?" "She's a little overwhelmed at the moment." "Why don't you wait here?" "Sure." "You're telling me leni used colden's phone to call mara?" "Yeah,a phone her dad pays for." "So that call had nothing to dowith the safe house hit." "Which means there's still a leak." "Call Mick." "Tell him to get leni out of there." "I tried." "The call won't go through." "Excuse me?" "What's going on?" "Why did we steal a cop car?" "To put miles between us." "Damn it." " Still no signal." " Between who?" " Us and the guy sent to kill you." " What?" "How did he find us?" "Doesn't matter." "Now it's about losing him." "What?" "You had to piss off an arms dealer,didn't you?" " Look out!" " Hold on." " Get out." " What?" "Do it." "Get out,get out." "Shut the door." "Great." "Are you okay?" "Yeah,just a little freaked out." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I will be,as soon as we get out of here." "You think we could trust them?" "I'm probably gonna regret this," "Thanks." "Well?" "That was victorville p.d.on the way to the bus station," "They found a fresh accident scene." "Apparently,Mick and leni stole a police cruiser." "They were attacked." "Looks like they're dead." "Dead?" "There must be some mistake." "The car was in flames." "It's too hot to even get close." "I'm sorry." "Are you okay?" "You got a big problem." "Mick didn't talk to anyone but you and i." "Are you suggesting that I'm the leak?" "I'm saying someone on your team is responsible,and you should find out who." "When I was still human, i survived the battle of the bulge." "Six weeks in a trench in the ardennes." "The coldest winter I ever felt." "My buddy lost a foot to frostbite." "I thought that was hell." "I was wrong." "You look dehydrated." "Do you wanna stop for a while?" "We can't." "Vampire survival instincts are simple." "If you're dying,you need blood." "Doesn't matter that I'd sworn to protect leni and her baby." "If I can't get blood any other way, i'll have to feed on her." "I won't be able to stop myself." "Mick,look." "Um,maybe you should lie down?" "Mick." "Find the ice machine." "Get a lot." "Please.Go." "Ice." "I raided the honor bar." " For you." " No." "We have to get you to a hospital." "This is not just regular dehydration." "Something is seriously wrong." "No hospitals." "Just keep trying to get a signal." "Call the number I gave you." "Ask for Beth." "Just talk to her." "Only Beth." "Who is she?" "I trust her." "Hey, is she your girlfriend?" "No." "It's complicated." "Is there anything else I can do?" "Mick." "Please,you must leave." "No, I want to stay here with you." "Call Beth." "Go." "Beth turner." "Hi." "It's leni hayes." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "Is Mick all right?" "Can you put him on the line?" "Um,Mick's not doing too good." "We had to walk a couple miles to get to this old motel and..." "It was hot." " But he's alive?" " Yes." "He's alive." "T-tell me where you are." "Mick, I spoke to Beth." "She's coming." "Mick?" "Mick?" "Mick?" "Mick?" "Did you hear me?" "Beth's coming." "Get out!" "Get out,leni!" "Get out now!" "what do you get when you put a vampire in the desert?" "Maybe no more vampire." "You wanted to see us?" "Yeah." "Come in." "We just heard from lieutenant wetherly that the cruiser was nuked, but there are no signs of bodies inside." "I know." "Beth just called them." "Our witness is safe." "That's great." "Victorville p.d.will babysit tonight,bring her in first thing tomorrow." "St.john's giving 'em a debrief on what happened." "What the hell did happen?" "Leni, i'm Beth." "You have to help him." "Where is he?" "In here." "I think he's dying." "Stay here." "Mick." "Mick." "Mick." "Stay with me." "Stay with me." "Mick." "You're burning up." "I bit her." "Iell di' before I feed on her." "Mick,leni's in the other room." "She's fine." "I guess..." "I guess i am a delicate flower." "I guess you are." "Take leni back." "Get her out of here." "He's coming." "I'm not leaving." "You have to protect her now." "You're dying." "I don't know how to do this,but i know you need it." "So..." "No." "Get out." "Get out!" "You need blood." "No,not yours." " Look." " Not like this." "I want to do this." "What do you do when the one thing you need to save your life is the one thingthat would make life unbearable?" "I know you won't kill me,and I know you won't try to turn me,either." "I have got this vampire friend who's been explaining this stuff." "At some point,you're gonna have to stop me." "Victorville p.d.till 0600 tomorrow." "You want the address?" "Josh,man, I-I can explain." "Really?" " 'Cause it looks like you just dialed one of the numbers fayed pays for." " I got in a little bit over my head." "You know,march madness is..." "This guy came to me." "He told me he could give me a clear slate." "We're friends,man." "That just makes it worse." "Leni?" "Scream,and you're dead." "Scream,and you're dead." "Where's the girl?" "Are you okay?" "Mick,are you okay?" "I feel--i feel better." "Deputy d.a.josh lindsey confirmed that" "It was the testimony of leonora hayes that clinched the trial." "Charges are also being brought against fayed for the brutal safe house murders of two l.a.p.d.officers-- good guys win." "Day is saved." "You know the rest." "How's the arm?" "Oh,okay." "It's all my fault." "I'm such a klutz." "Lucky thing you're so good-looking." "Listen, i'm,uh..." "I'm sorry about before." "When you thought Mick was dead, i,um..." "I wasn't very understanding." "I didn't mean to accuse you." "I was just upset." "It all worked out okay." "We make a pretty good team,don't you think?" "Maybe it was her blood in my veins that let me feel her the beating of her very-living heart." "Or maybe we've always been connected." "Either way,being near me puts her in danger." "So it has to stop."
