"You're becoming one of them" "We don't have much time, so drink it." "It'll help slow down the process." "[groans] Oh!" "[exhales]" "Where the hell are we?" "A motel-- pretty sleazy one at that." "I couldn't risk taking you to the house." "Captain Billings might have changed his mind." "No one will think to look for you here, and no one will care if you start screaming." "Screaming?" "What's that for?" "Show me the bite marks on your neck again." "Why?" "Hank, do you trust me?" "I trust you." "Then just do it-- and don't watch." "Something tells me I'mnot going to like this." "[sizzling] [Hank yelling] [yelling continues]" "Mr. Vincent, you ain't gonna like this." "She's shacked up in some fleabag hotel." "So it is the guy from the park." "Yeah, one and the same."

"Oh." "[sighs]" "What did you do that for?" "It will help slow down" "Slow down the process, right." "[glass clinking]" "Ow." "How's that make you feel?" "I don't know." "Nauseous." "Good." "Now who doesn't trust who?" "It's just a precaution." "Look, I need to know everything you know about those vampires-- how many there are, where do they hunt." "I don't know." "There must have been a dozen-- that I could see anyway." "And they hunt at these raves." "Raves?" "These parties that go all" "No, I know what raves are." "I was just thinking about that beinga great idea for one of my books." "[laughs] Trust me." "You'll have plenty to write about if we make it through this." "During the day, where do they sleep?" "I don't know." "But I could tell you where they party at night:" "this old, abandoned hospital downtown." "Oh, that's original." "Wait till you see their leader." "He's like nothing I've ever seen before." "I don't know what he is, but he's definitely not human." "It's fascinating." "Well, he's the one who bit you." "Yeah." "That's the only reason you're still alive." "If one of the others had bitten you, you'd been dead on the spot." "I thought they could all, you know, turn you into one of them if they wanted to." "No, according to my research, it has to be the leader." "And even then, he'll usually kill you unless he chooses you to join them" "I don't know about the choosingpart." "What do you mean?" "When we were struggling, I knocked the curtain aside, and the sun came in and hit him in the middle ofbitingme." "And now he won't hurt you, because you're like one ofhis offspring." "He created you." "No, he must be very old, perhaps as much as I,000 years, which means he's much stronger than the others." "Yeah, they all move like warp speed." "One second they're right next to you." "The next, they're clear across the room" "Hypnotism" "It's a form ofhypnotism" "They put their victims into a trance." "Yeah, with their eyes." "Been there;" "done that." "What are you doing?" "So far, from what you've told me, they've done pretty much exactly what I'd expect them to." "It'd be my guess they're going to come lookingfor you." "How do you know?" "Because the leader will send them" "He'll sense that someone's helping you fight it, so he'll send the others to stop me-- which is exactly what I want him to do." "You want them to find us?" "Well, they're the only ones that can tell us where the leader is, which is the only way to save you from becoming one of them" "You have to find the leader, find where he sleeps during the day, and kill him" "Now, there are three things that vampires don't like:" "crucifixes, garlic, and holy water." "But all those things will do is keep them at bay." "If you want to kill them you have to expose them to sunlight." "Or drive a wooden stake through their heart." "Or cut their heads off." "I can't believe we're even having this conversation." "Why are you doing this?" "What?" "You've been avoidingme like the plague for almost a year." "Why are you helpingme?" "Are you kidding?" "This is the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me." "I'mmean, to think I've been writing about all of this as fiction, and now to know it actually exists." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "I just thought that maybe this was about you and me." "Well, yeah, Hank, of course." "That too." "It's just, I've really missed you, you know?" "[knocking]" "(Layla) Can Hank come out and play?" "(Susan) Remember, we don't want to kill them till they've told us where their master is." "Something tells me that's going to be easier said than done." "[electric fizzle] [static] [wind whistling]" "Wait here." "(Layla) I thought we had something, you and me." "And now I catch you shacking up with Goldilocks." "[sniffs]" "Ah!" "Let her go." "Oh, isn't that sweet?" "I think he actually cares about this little bitch." "Yes, very touching." "But I don't think you're in much of a position to be making demands here, Hank." "Mmm" "Yummy." "Alex, honey, do you want to do the honors, or should I?" "[both yelling]" "Look for a little head there, Hank?" "[laughs] [sword clatters]" "Whoa, ooh, Hank." "You're gettingstronger, aren't you?" "Yeah, it's always the body that changes first." "Don't worry." "The soul will soon follow." "Poppin' fresh." "Isn't this ironic?" "[laughs]" "You have made yourself rich and famous by exploiting us and glamorizing us." "And now... mmm you've ended up on the menu." "Please, wait, no." "You don't understand." "I want to talk to you." "Save some for me." "[laughs] crash!" "Stay." "[sizzling]" "Oh!" "I can't see!" "Huh, now I'mmad." "You've made me soil my favorite shirt." "[roaring]" "Hank!" "Uh!" "Bitch." "Hank, we're brothers." "No, Hank, don't look into his eyes." "[groaning] [clamoring]" "(Susan) Jake!" "What the hell is going on here?" "Jake, watch out." "[hisses]" "Ah!" "[crunching]" "[gunshots] [roaring]" "Ahh!" "Can't we all just get along?" "[laughs] [shouts] [sword clatters]" "splat!" "[laughs]" "Looks like a home run to me, sports fans." "[chuckling] [hisses] [laughs]" "Uh!" "No more games, Hank." "Take a good whiff." "It smells heavenly, doesn't it?"

"No more standing in grocery lines with your pitiful little vegetables." "Look at how much Layla loves it." "[panting]" "No, Hank, look away." "[growls]" "The sun's coming up soon." "Our work here is done." "[laughs]" "What are we going to do about her?" "She could stay here with him wait it out." "Be his first meal." "[moans]" "I like it." "[laughs]" "There's no turning back now, Hank." "Another 24 hours, and you're one of us." "You'll know where to find us when the time comes." "[laughs] [whooshing] slam!" "Susan." "Susan!" "Susan." "Oh, my God." "(Hank) Susan, listen to me." "You've got to go." "What?" "You have to go." "You can't stay here." "No." "I can feel it happening." "I'm becoming one of them" "You can't be around me." "There's no telling what I might do." "We can stop it." "We have to stop it." "You can't stop it." "It's impossible." "Not if we find their master and kill him" "We don't know where he is." "He could be anywhere in L.A." "Think." "There must be something they said." "What about the hospital?" "No, no, we searched that." "I'm sure that's it." "The Master never goes far fromhis nest." "He'd be much too conspicuous." "That's why he has the others bring him the victims." "He was there at the hospital." "That has to be the nest." "Wait a second." "There's a security guard during the day, but not at night." "They don't need one at night, just during the day to" "To keep anyone from discovering their restingplace." "[whispers] Right." "[whispers] No." "No, you have to fight it." "Drink this." "Oh, my God." "Okay." "You ready?" "Yeah." "I want to stop at a sportinggoods store along the way to pick up some more tools of the trade." "I don't get it." "There was only one of them the other day." "(Susan) They must have beefed up security after what happened with you." "(Hank) Yeah." "But who do they work for?" "And do you think they know who they're guarding?" "There's only one way to find out." "What are you doing?" "They could be wraiths." "Wraiths?" "What the hell's a wraith?" "It's sort oflike a demon." "Vampires have been known to employ them during the day to guard their nests in exchange for leftovers." "Leftovers?" "You mean like" "Eat human flesh." "Yean, I'm afraid so." "Well, why didn't he try and kill me yesterday?" "Well, he must have seen your bite marks and figured that the leader had chosen you to join the family." "All right." "No, you have to stay here." "They already know you." "Well, what are you going to do?" "If they're wraiths, they won't like crucifixes any more than vampires do." "I'mnot so sure I like this idea." "It's okay." "I won't get too close." "Hey." "Be careful." "I will." "Excuse me." "Could you help me?" "My car seems to have overheated, and I'm a little bit lost." "Sure, where would you like to go?" "Well, I need to find the" "I can't help you, lady." "Beat it." "What?" "You heard me." "What seems to be the problemhere?" "This is private property." "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave." "That is so rude." "Do you have a superior that I could talk to?" "[monstrous voice] Don't make me tell you again." "Okay." "[door clicks open]" "What's the verdict?" "Oh, they're wraiths all right." "Which means we're gonna have to kill them if we want to get in." "Afraid so." "But it's not gonna be easy." "Why is that?" "Well, supposedly they're twice as strong as a normal person." "And their blood is poisonous." "Poisonous?" "More like acid, really." "But there is one thing that might be in our favor." "They don't like heights." "[sighs]" "[suspenseful music]" "Come on." "Hmm [wet crunching]" "[straining] [choking]" "[squealing]" "[demonic screaming] [silence]" "[gun clicks]" "(man) You're really starting to get on my nerves, lady." "(Hank) I thought you said they didn't like heights." "I can't know everything." "[sizzling]" "Shoot him!" "[gunshot] clack!" "[spits]" "Ahh!" "crash!" "(Hank) It looks like some kind of a subbasement." "You didn't know about this before?" "No." "We missed it." "The security guard made sure of that." "They must have sealed off the entrance somehow." "That's where they sleep." "It's almost sunset." "Are you sure you're still up for this?" "I can go it alone." "No." "We're in this together now." "I'm coming with you." "All right, partners." "click!" "Hey." "What are you doing?" "I've already put you in enough danger." "I couldn't live with myself if anything ever happened to you." "This isn't fair." "Susan, I know I made a mess of our marriage." "No matter what you think, I've always loved you." "Do me a favor." "Just remember that, okay?" "Hank, don't do this, please." "You need me." "Yeah, that's right." "I need you to stay alive." "I got myself into this mess." "I can get myself out." "Here." "If I'mnot out by sundown, call John." "Get him over here." "Hank, listen." "Whatever you do, do not remove the stake once you've killed him" "He can come back to life if you do." "You can only save yourself." "Killing the leader won't save the others, only you." "You'll have to kill all of them" "And once you've killed one, all bets are off." "The others won't hesitate to kill you." "Right." "[cuff clinks] [sighs] [hollow clanking]" "[tapping] [echoing boom]" "[smashing]" "[clinking]" "[bar clangs] [eerie music]" "[door creaks]" "[door creaks] [demonic screams]" "[sighs]" "[water trickling]" "[dramatic choral music]" "[suspenseful music]" "[hisses] [distant hissing] [weakeningscream]" "[screams]" "[hisses] [vampire hisses]" "(Alex) What can I say?" "I'm a light sleeper." "[laughs]" "I see you've been busy." "Nice shirt." "Yeah, you like?" "Yeah." "I really feel you could accessorize a little better, though." "I got something that would go really nicely with that." "Oh, how thoughtful." "I love gifts." "[sighs]" "Pity I'm going to have to kill you." "Uh-oh." "Uh!" "[yelling]" "[yelling continues]" "[demonic whimpering]" "[ominous music]" "[dramatic choral music]" "[hisses]" "crunch!" "Uh!" "[groans]" "Where is he?" "I'll see you in hell." "Tell me where he is, and I'll remove the stake." "[laughs] crunch!" "Tell me!" "Where is he?" "He's right behind you." "(The Master) You're Hank." "Hank;" "Hank." "You've been a very bad boy." "[laughs]" "Susan?" "Isn't he beautiful, Hank?" "Susan is part of the family now." "No." "Kill me and you'll be killing her." "That's not true." "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask the expert?" "She's under your spell." "She'll say whatever you want her to say." "[magical chime]" "Hank?" "Susan, tell our friend Hank here, now that you have been bitten by me, what happens ifhe kills me." "I'll die too." "That's not true." "Whoever he has bitten will die with him" "The only one who will live is the one who kills him" "No." "Interesting little dilemma, don't you think?" "[laughs]" "Much more entertaining than me just killing you, hmm?" "Kill him" "How touching." "Now, that is what I call true love." "Yes, Susan." "Go ahead and kill me, and Hank and I will spend an eternity in hell together." "Kill him" "Or you can just undo the mess you've done, Hank, and all of us can go on living here as one big, happy family." "Think of it, Hank." "You and Susan together forever, never growing old, havingpowers beyond your wildest dreams." "And all you have to do is just give in and accept your fate." "Yes, Hank." "Just give in." "[demonic wheezing]" "And now he doesn't want to hurt you, because you're like one ofhis offspring." "He created you." "No." "You can't kill me." "Huh?" "I'm part of you." "To kill me would be like killingpart of yourself." "I am growing wary of this." "Susan, kill him" "Susan, do as I say." "Kill him!" "Uh!" "[yelling]" "[roaring]" "Come on." "Let's go." "[electricity crackling]" "[rumbling]" "[yelling continues]" "How did you know?" "What?" "How did you know we'd both survive if we pulled the trigger at the same time?" "We're not going to survive if we don't hurry up." "Let's go." "Good-bye, Hank." "Susan!" "[rumbling continues]" "Susan!" "[crashing]" "[explosion]" "Uh!" "[groans]" "Where is she?" "What?" "Susan." "What did you do with her body?" "I told you already." "Last time I saw her, she was" "We spent half the night sifting through the rubble in that basement." "And that's exactly what we found-- nothing but rubble." "No, that--that can't be." "I killed them all." "The vampires." "Yes, the vampires." "Just like in Susan's books." "What kind of fuckinggame are you playing with me?" "No game." "We found these in your car." "Yeah, I know." "We've been through this already." "The other day when Susan and I were here" "Wait; wait a minute." "When Susan and you were here?" "Yeah,John, not two days ago." "I haven't seen hide nor hair of you in over two days, not since I sent you undercover, lookingfor those missing kids." "Not since you trashed the break room seeing Susan on the television." "Susan reported me for harassing her." "Susan was reported missing two days ago-- the same time you were missing." "Now, don't you find that an interesting coincidence, Hank?" "John, that's crazy." "Susan was here with you and me two days ago." "You released me to her custody." "Released you to her custody?" "Yes." "And I suppose you left here and went to a motel together in Hollywood." "Right." "How did you know?" "The desk clerk talked about a guy who check in fitting your description, and oddly enough, a woman fitting Susan's description." "And three hours later, he finds two dead bodies, her boyfriend,Jake Vincent, and the PI that worked for him" "And apparently they were murdered in your room" "Right." "The vampires killed them" "The only fingerprints in there were yours and Susan's." "That's because vampires don't have fingerprints." "It says so in Susan's book." "Isn't that just a little convenient, Hank?" "Blame everything that's happened on vampires?" "Come on;" "level with me." "It happens all the time." "Ex-husband goes berserk, kills the new boyfriend and the ex." "John, I'm telling you, the vampires killed them" "Oh, I get it." "You're going to use the insanity defense." "I'mnot insane." "Right." "Get him out ofhere." "[slams desk]" "What about my neck?" "The bite marks?" "(Dr. Blake) The bite marks on your neck were gone." "So, in a sense, you were healed." "Yeah, I guess that's one way to look at it." "And why do you suppose that happened?" "Your being healed, that is." "Because I killed that son of a bitch." "Then if you killed him how do you think your wife became a vampire?" "Don't you get it?" "That's why she went back, to bring that thing back to life, so that he would bite her again and she would become one of them" "A vampire?" "So your wife wanted to become a vampire." "What the fuck have I been talking to you about for the past hour?" "I see." "[electric buzzing]" "Okay, well." "This has all been very interesting." "Hey, Doc?" "You think I'm crazy?" "I think you loved your wife very much." "I think your inability to accept her leaving you and startinga relationship with another man compounded with your alcohol abuse and lack of sleep caused you to suffer a breakdown of some sort that manifested itself into some very-- well, let's just say" "some very destructive and antisocial behavior." ""Antisocial behavior"?" "[laughs]" "I'm antisocial." "[eerie music] [door clacks]" "[buzzing continues]" "Did you miss me, Hank?" "Hmm" "I love what you've done with the place." "You're not real." "It really is wonderful, Hank, being one of them" "You really don't know what you're missing." "I'mready to sleep now!" "[banging]" "Livingforever" "Somebody!" "Never growing old." "You're not real." "You going to tell me that wasn't real?" "But Captain Billings" "Didn't remember anything?" "No one did." "Naturally." "The Master's powers are far more incredible than I could have ever guessed." "You removed his arrow to bring him back, didn't you?" "You were just usingme to get to him" "You didn't care about me." "You just wanted to become one of them" "You really don't get it, do you, Hank?" "Look at me." "I can do whatever I want." "I'm going to live forever." "It's everything I ever dreamed about." "I loved you." "I would have done anythingfor you." "Yes, you always were the incurable romantic, weren't you?" "[gasps]" "That's why I'mhere, Hank, because you love me." "Because you're stubborn and obsessive." "And I knew if you ever got out ofhere, you'd never give up until you found me again." "[electric crackling] [hisses] [roars]" "[demonic groaning]" "How's that for romantic?" "crunch!" "[wheezing] [retching]" "Consider this a divorce." "[sighs]" "I think we may have a breakthrough." "He's finally come to terms with the breakup." "He may now even be able to put the obsession with his wife behind him altogether." "Will he tell us where the body is?" "That's the question." "Perhaps." "He's going to need sedating after such a cathartic episode." "Did you see that?" "Administer two CCs ofhexachloride." "Wait a second." "I told you she would come." "I want to talk to him first." "[electric flicker] [door clicks]" "Hi, Hank." "Did you see that?" "She came for me,John, just like I knew she would." "What do you think?" "Is it time?" "What?" "To tell me where the body is." "She's right over there, where the..." "But you were watching, right?" "From the other room?" "You saw it all on the video camera." "Huh." "Oh, of course." "You couldn't see her, because vampires can't be photographed." "John--hey, wait;" "no,John." "John-- [groans]" "(John) Sooner or later, Hank;" "sooner or later." "Does this look familiar?" "No." "Did he have any visitors?" "Civilians?" "No." "Only you and me." "Maybe it's one of the nurses'." "There are no female nurses on this floor." "No?" "[eerie music]" "[demonic scream]" "[Brown Sugar on the Finish's As Good as Dead]" "(man) Ahh." "Can you imagine me as a thorn in your side?" "Where would the pleasure be if it always felt right?" "You'd be as good as dead if you let down your guard, hiding inside your head, making it hard to resist." "Making it hard." "Watch me with your eyes, conjuring your fears." "Drench me in your lies, making it hard to resist." "Making it hard." "Ooh." "Hard to resist." "Take us." "Take us down." "Ahh." "Making it hard."
