"Sookie." "It's me." "Sookie." "Sookie, it's me" " Bill." " You allright?" "Come here." " Get your fucking hands off of me!" " What are you doing here?" "I was making sure that Sookie got home safe." "The door was open." "What are you doing here?" "Bill, it's OK." "Let him go." "Sookie?" "What happened?" " Did you get any prints off that drawer?" " Nothing plain." "Think we got a partial one on the sink." "Why don't you go upstairs and lie down?" "They're gonna be in there for a while" "As soon as we find anything out, I'll let you know." "Oh shit, I got blood on my boots." "So much blood, I'm gonna be sick." "Pull it together, pull the fuck together dick!" "Do your job." "No wonder they don't respect you." "Cut her up real good." "Must be 30 stabs." "The throat is wide open." "Holy hell, we got ourselves a serial killer here." "...Lynn and the grandkids to the lake for the weekend" "Poor woman, stuck raising these bad-shit... crazyStackhousekidsdidn'tdeservethis." "Sookie?" "Maybe I could use a little air." "I should never have left you alone, I lost my temper." "And I shouldn't have." "Do you think you could apologize to me... some other time?" "I just..." "Whatever you need, anything I can... do, you know, I'm right here." "I know." "Thank you." "... hold you, make it better." "I'm the one." "I'm so sorry." "Sorrowfull." "Soft skin." "I said another time, Sam." "OK." "What happened to Bill?" "I go get him." "Thank you." "She's asking for you." "Is there something you wanna say to me?" "I want you to say away from her." "You know, Sookie doesn't take kindly... to people making decisions for her." "You don't need to tell me who Sookie is." "I know who she is." "I've known a long time." "Then you also know that this is neither the time... nor the place for you to... mark you territory." "There's a woman lying dead downstairs." "She wouldn't be there if it weren't for you." "If anything happens to Sookie, I promise..." "I'll be sharpening a stake with your name on it." "Looks like she put up a hell of a fight." "See those defensive cuts on her hand?" "Straight to the bone?" "Uhm." "Hardcore." "Psycho son of a bitch." "Going after her all the way that way." "The sickest thing I've ever seen." "No." "I've seen worse." "There was a murder about 6 years ago." "Lady snapped." "Blew her husband's head off while he was watching the game." "Big chunks of the brain all over the tv." " Why did she do it?" " I guess she wanted to watch something else." "How the hell would I know, Andy?" "People don't murder because they're right in the head." "I told you we never should have released Jason Stackhouse." "Come on." "It's his grandmother we are talking about." "Do you think that little perv ain't capable?" "Well, Adele did bring the fang into a church." "Sure that ruffled more than a few feathers." "If he didn't do it himself." " But vampire Bill said that..." " Vampire Bill?" "You're on a first-name basis with that bloodsucker now?" "These things are crafty." "They've killing long enough to know how to cover..." "Am I interrupting?" "Mr. Compton, this is... an official crime scene." "You can't be here." "It's all right Andy." "I suspect vampire Bill's been around a dead body or two before." "Isn't that right, sir?" "Friend of yours, wasn't she?" "Yes, I suppose she was." "Well..." "We got a couple more questions for you." "Do you mind?" "No, not at all." "Sookie tells you were here when she... found the body." "Is that right?" "I arrived a few moments after." "Kind of late to be making house calls." "All right." " I guess you don't sleep, uh?" " They sleep, just not at night." "So you make a habit of visiting miss Stackhouse in the middle of the night?" "We had certain personal matters to discuss." "After you left my home, I was waiting for her to return from her engagement." "When I heard her car in the drive, I came across the cemetery." "You're saying you heard a car coming from clean across the cemetery?" "Heightened senses are a common..." " side effect of our condition." " But you didn't see... or hear any other vehicles coming from the house?" "Something like a truck, maybe?" " No." " But lot of folks would... not be too keen on a vampire moving in the next door, but Adele Stackhouse... she welcomed you with open arms, didn't she?" "She was very gracious, yes." "So..." "Maudette Pickens, Dawn Green, Adele Stackhouse, they were all... very gracious to your people." "That's just about the one thing they had in common." "Now, is that one hell of a plus-size coincidence or what?" "I don't believe so, no." "Excuse me?" "I suspect whoever did this is targeting women who associate with vampires." "You can't be serious." "Adele Stackhouse and a vamp?" "I don't think Sookie's grandmother was the intended victim." "I should probably call Jason." "I can do it if you like." "Thank you." "This is Stackhouse." "You know what to do." "To leave a voice message..." "Bill, what's going on?" "They're about to move your grandmother." "Sookie, you might wanna go sleep at a friend's." "Someplace less isolated." "I'm not going anywhere." " Sookie, perhaps.." " No." "This is my house." "I'm staying right here." "Turn her there." "All right." "Coming through." "Please, god." "Hope she didn't recognize...  meatthevapirebar." "Ilookdifferent,itwasdark,  and...dumbluckyou 'renot inthat bagright now,screwingthatvampire." "You could be next." "I'm truly sorry about your grandmother." "Are you all done in there?" "Cause I'd like to clean up." " If that's all right." " All right, then." "You call us at the first sign of anything." " Keep an eye on her." " I will." "They are right." "You should not stay here." "I agree." "You can have my trailer." "I'll sleep at the bar." "I'm as safe here as anywhere." "Besides, I got both of you to protect me, haven't I?" "Sookie..." "I have to go." "Of course." "It's almost dawn." "I will come back later." "I can take it from here." "Don't worry about me." "Go." "Uh, there's an extra mop round back." "Would you mind getting it for me?" "Sookie." " Gran took a lot of pride in her home." "She wouldn't want anyone to see it like this." "Oh." "Hey, that looks great." "Why don't you... why don't you put it in the kitchen." "It was so sad." "That stackhouse girl hasn't come out of the kitchen." "I heard she hasn't cried a single tear." "You know she's been going around with that vampire." "Oh, uh, mrs." "Fortenberry, you shouldn't have." "You poor child." "I am so sorry for your loss." "That's very kind of you." "Um...gran often talked about you, so..." "Thank you." "Yeah, 'cause nothing says I'm sorry like a tuna cheese casserole." "Another one?" "I ain't seen Jason." "Is he here yet?" "How the hell should I know." "I ain't his keeper." "Bitch." "Adele was an angel sent from heaven." "Too good for this world." "We're all going to miss her so much." "Heard they almost cut off her head." "I don't see any blood." "I should have gotten here sooner." "Maybe I should have brought my red velvet cake instead." "Excuse me." "Sookie." "I just can't believe." "Are you all right?" " I'm fine, Arlene." "Thanks for coming." "Of course..." "It's the least I could do." "You poor thing." "I can't imagine what you're going through." "Now, if you need help with moving or anything at all..." "Uh, I'm... am I moving?" "I'm not moving." "But honey." "With it happening... right here." "I have far more good memories of this kitchen than bad ones." "Oh, what a good way to look at it." "You know, you really are smarter than anyone gives you credit for." "Oh, sweetie." "I didn't mean it like that." "Maxine Fortenberry, you put that pie down right now!" "Come here, she is loosing it." "This is gran's pie!" "Well, I'm sorry." "I was just making some room." "Poor girl is crazy as a bedbug." "We all know you killed your grandmother." "After I spent all morning making this casserole." "That she would even show her face to everybody." "If you all excuse us." "I need Sookie upstairs." "Just give us a little girl-time," "Come on, Lafayette!" "I shouldn't have lost it like that." "Don't feel sorry for yelling at that stupid old bitch." "She has been sticking her nose where... it don't belong for years." "Say it." "I mean, if she talked any more shit she'd be shaped like a toilet." "I'm sorry." "Grand is gone." "She's really gone." "Yes, she is." "I don't know what I'm supposed to do." "I can't even think straight." "Of course you can't!" "How can you, with all these circling buzzers?" "You know, you're not here to entertain them." "You don't have to dance for them." "You just have to feel whatever you're feeling." "I'm not sure I'm... feeling anything." "I'm just numb." " Numb is good." " Yeah." "Nums is probably what you need right now." "Stop worrying about being so appropriate." "This is not an appropriate event." "Thank you for gettin' me out of there." "I haven't had a single minute of silence." "Can't seem to lock everything out right now." "Do you want me to tell them to shut the hell up?" " I wish it were that easy." " It is." "Your wish... it is my command." " Oh, no." "I don't do drugs." " Sook, relax." "This is not drug." "This... is just a Valium." "Well, I tell you what." "Put in on your nightstand." "Just in case you change your mind." "I'm gonna go to check the circling buzzards." " Lafayette?" " Yes madame." "Would you mind... take this downstairs for me?" "I'll guard it with my life." "Holy shit." "This ain't no good." "Yeah I know, I know." "I'm late." "My alarm-call broke and I couldn't find my phone." "Jason." " Jason?" " Yes?" "What are you doing here?" "My job." "Ohh, fuck." "He don't know, uh?" "Man, I'm so sorry." "About what?" "Do you want me to call anyone?" "Your cousin Hadley?" "No one has heard from her for in over a year." "Since she ran away from that rehab grandmother paid for." "I don't even know how to get hold of her." "What about Bill?" "Are you gonna invite him?" " Tara, he can't go." " No, you're right." "It's not like you have known a lot of vampires." "Kind of takes getting used to." "I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it." "What?" "Not everyone is as open minded as you." "Shoot me." "You should hear the things people are saying." "I do." "Bill did not kill my grandmother." "Don't you get mad at me." "No one is blaming Bill... exactly." "Didn't you tell me he had scary-ass friends?" "Not all the vampires are like that." "I'd fuckin' lose it if anything happened to you." "You know that, right?" "Tara, last night was so horrible..." "I don't know how I would've gotten through if it weren't for Bill." "When I'm around him..." "I don't know how to explain it exactly, but... it's like I almost feel normal." "What the fuck?" "Is he all right there?" "Jason." " What the fuck?" " It's your fault!" "Gran is dead because of you." " It should have been you!" " Don't you lay your hands on her!" "She's screwing a vampire, Tara." "A fucking vampire!" "Yeah and that vampire was here for her when you weren't." "You gotta be ashamed of yourself!" "Is that how... you grandmother raised you?" "To beat on your sister?" "Look at you!" "I don't even recognize you anymore!" "Get the hell out of here." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Are you OK?" "Stackhouse?" "I need to ask you a few questions." "Not now, Andy." " Where were you last night?" " I don't know." " I was with a girl." " Tara Thornton?" " What?" "No." " Yeah, I didn't think so." " What's this one's name?" " I don't remember her name, OK?" " I got a number." " I don't know what I did with it, though." "Why, ain't that convenient?" "What the hell is this supposed to mean, Andy?" "It's Detective Bellfleur." "And what the fuck you think it means?" "Are you saying I killed my grandmother?" "You're a stupid bitch, Jason Stackhouse." "Jason Stackhouse tossed Andy Bellefleur... like he was nothing but a rag doll." "Rene makes me watch that Friday Night Smackdown with him." "Those man are bigger than walls, but I ain't never seen one of them do that." "Well, you know Jason?" "He worked out a lot." "He's real strong." "All right everybody!" "Sookie needs a rest." "It's time for you to go now." "What the hell are you all starring?" "You heard me!" "The sideshow is over." "Let's go, let's go!" "We appreciate you all coming out." "We love you all." "Come on, let's go." "Thank you." "That means you too, Sam." "Look, I get it." "But right now she needs to be alone." "Well, if there's anything I can do, call me." "You are a good friend." "Now get the fuck out of here." "Please." "OK." "Don't make me throw you out, because you know I will." "I heard you, Tara." "What the fuck is it with white people and jelly?" "I don't understand." "What the hell are we gonna do with all of this?" "Toss it." "Sookie does not need no bad juju cooking." "Bad juju?" "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." "That shit is as true as gold." "Put some love in your food and the folks will taste it." "Smell this." "You can smell the... evil and nastiness coming out that corn bread." "Tastes just fine to me." "See, bitch, you gonna wish you ain't did that." "Watch." "Bill." "No." "Maybe I should go check on Sookie." "Trust me." "That child is dead to the world right now." "What the fuck...?" "Sookie." "Sookie." "What the hell are you doing?" "Sookie." "Sookie." "Sookie." "Sookie." "Soo..." "Bill, what's wrong?" "I thought..." "I had a dream." "That's all." " You go back to sleep." " But I..." "Don't worry." "I'm not going anywhere." "Go on." "Do you think they're capable of loving a person?" "Who knows what they're capable of." "Lord, we're here today to gather the life of Adele Stackhouse." "To celebrate the time she enjoyed here on earth." "And to thank you for each precious moment..." "Sookie, my hand." "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry." "...by the family, the friends, the community." "But even as we grieve, we shall be comforted... knowing that she's in peace now in Lord's kingdom." "And there shall not be more death." " Uncle Bartlett, what are you doing here?" " She was my sister." "You haven't been part of this family in a long time." "Sook, come on." "Give the guy a break." "Sookie Stackhouse has prepared a few words." "Honey?" "You wanted to say a few words?" "Sookie, are you OK?" "Adele Stackhouse was everything to me." "She wasn't just my grandmother." "She was my parent, my teacher... and my best friend." "Oh, please." "If it weren't for you, se would be alive" "What's this world coming to?" "A vampire giving a eulogy." "I thought she was a good girl." "I guesss you can never know." "You should be in that coffin." "And you will..." "To say she'll be missed... just doesn't cut it, because" "I can't even imagine a world without her in." "She was always there, with a kind word... and a hot meal... and a shoulder to cry on." "Not just for me, but..." "Forgive me, Adele." "for everyone who knew her." "Inever meant to hurt anyone, but I couldn't..." "Poor pathetic thing." "She is as nuts as nuts can be." "You sleep with your grandmother's killer." "She is dead because of you." "Shut up!" "All of you, shut the fuck up!" "Look at her, cursing..." "This whole world's just plain crazy." "Well..." "Is there anyone else who'd care to share some words?" "I've got something to say." "What is she doing?" "No, mom." "Oh my fucking God, girl." "This is about to be ugly." "I didn't know miss Stackhouse like a lot of you did." "But the few times I did meet her... she has always been kind to me." "She was a good, god-fearing woman." "And when I was going into some bad things... my daughter could stay with her." "And I always knew she would be just fine." "Adele Stackhouse took care of my baby when I couldn't." "And I'll always be grateful for that." "Sookie!" "Sookie, just hold on a sec." "Why?" "So you can hit me again?" "Go ahead, tell me it's all my fault." "Tell me how much you wish it were me in that coffin." " I deserve it." " I'm sorry." " I'm so sorry." " Don't touch me." "Well, I didn't mean to hurt you." " You gotta know that." " You invited uncle Bartlett!" " How could you do that?" " He has a right to be here!" "Look, I know he and gran had their problems." "But whatever they were, it does not matter anymore." "Cause that's what a family does." "We forgive each other." "You have no idea of what you're talking about!" "Sookie, please." "I mean, we're all we got." "We've got nothing." "Hey." "I was moved." "Very moved." "You know, you should come to our next..." "Descendants of the Glorious Deads meeting." "Is this some kind of support group?" "I went to one of those AA meetings once." "They were nothing but a cult." "Hi, baby!" "This is my precious daughter, Tara." "We met like 100 times too many." "Excuse us." "What the hell are you doing?" "Just talking to that nice lady." "Let go my arm, you're hurting me!" "Oh, I'm hurting you." "That's funny." "Cause the last time I saw you... you were beating my head with a bottle." "Oh, sweet Jesus." "Poor child." "I'm so sorry." "You had no right... to speak for that woman." "She was more a mother to me than you ever were." "She took care of me." "She fed me, she put clothes on me." "She called social services on you twice." " You hated her guts." " No." " I didn't." " Yes you did." "You used to call her a white devil bitch." "No Tara." "That wasn't me." "That wasn't me that said those things." "Just 'cause you were too drunk to remember..." " does not mean it didn't happen." " Please, baby." "Just listen." "All those terrible things I did to you." "It wasn't me who did them." "I have a daemon inside me." " What?" " A daemon." "Living and breathing inside me." "It eats me up." "Don't you laught at the devil, Tara Mae." "Cause this is as serious as cancer." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "You have a daemon inside you?" " Oh fuck me, this is too good." " It ain't funny." "You have no idea on what I'm going through... wrestling with this daemon." "I try to do right." "I try so hard... but it breaks me down." "And poisons everything." "I want to be the mom you deserve." "I can make up to everything." "I can." "It's not too late." "But I can't do this alone." "Do what?" "I gotta get it out of me... and it's really expensive." "This is why you came to this women's funeral?" "Cause you want money?" "I have nowhere else to go." "Tara, Tara, please." "Don't walk away from me." "I'm still you mama." "I need you." "You're all I've got." "Everything OK?" "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry for your loss." "We're not done, Stackhouse." "What?" "Oh, lord." "Fuck, fuck!" "Shit!" "Fuck!" "Hey." "Hey." "I was looking for you." "Well.." "you found me." "I liked you speech." "What I heard of it, anyway." "Especially the part when... you told the town to shut the fuck up." "Yeah, I'm a real crowd-pleaser." "I..." "I'll walk you home." "How about you take a bath and..." "I find some stupid movies on TV." "Something with aliens." " Romantic comedy then?" " Sam, not now." "I just..." "I need to be alone." "Thanks." "She says she wants to be alone." "Well, I don't." "Me neither." "Won't ever give you enough of this goddamn chicken." " Hey." " Hey, Roger." "Lady, I want the legs." "Piece of shit!" "Ima fucking kill you!" "Don't worry." "She says that all the time." "Come on, you gotta admit it has a certain charm!" "Do you live here?" "Do you want a beer?" " They're warm." " Yes, sure." "Is this really where you live?" "Yes, Sam." "This is really where I live." "Are you trying to make me feel bad?" "No, no." "It's just that..." " I thought you were staying with Lafayette." " I was." "Do you know that he has a webcam in his bathroom?" "No way I'll let a bunch of pervs to watch me pee." "You should've told me you needed somewhere to stay." "Why?" "So you could ride up on your white horse and save me?" " Why do you do that?" " Do what?" "Try and turn everything into a fight." "Why is it so hard to let someone be just nice to you?" "I don't know, Sam." "You think maybe I have a bad self-esteem." "Maybe it's the only way I know to express my real feelings." "Well, I should go." " Would you relax?" " I was just teasing!" "Maybe I'm sick of being teased." "Stay!" " Please." " What for?" "Cause I want you to." "Well, I don't want to play games." "I don't want no strings." "I just... want something real in my life." "Well, do you think I don't?" "If we do this... we really did this." " Holy shit!" " I'll take that as a compliment." "I guess I really needed it." "Me too." "Let's do it again." "Come back." "I had to, baby." "I'm sorry." "I love you." "I love you too." "I need you." "I need you so fucking much..." "I guess they made up." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Listen..." "I gotta go." "W..." "What?" "It's the middle of the night." "Tara, what just happened?" "Did I do something?" "It's not about you." "I'm sorry." "I'll see you at work, OK?" "This feel's so good!" "God!" "I love you." "I love you." "Is there... is there something wrong?" "Hi mom." "I knew you'd come." "Do it." "I want you to."
