"Blast him!" "Whoa!" "Ha-ha!" "Ahh!" "Ha-ha-ha!" "Seriously is that the best you can do?" "I can't even feel it!" "Except for a very slight tickling sensation which unfortunately for you gorgeous little pixies only whets my appetite!" "Well." "Oh, fuck." "Well, that felt even better than I thought it would." "Jason!" "No!" " Sookie!" " There's still vampires out there." "Jason!" "What is that amazing smell?" " You will not feed on Sookie." " What is she?" "She's a waitress." "A waitress who's saved my life more than once." "And whose fear vibe very graciously brought me here tonight allowing me to settle an ancient debt." " Thank you for that, by the way." " But I want her." "Are you really this undisciplined?" "Now, Jason..." "...are you okay?" "Jason, wake up." " Our father would be very disappointed." " Jason." " All right, I won't eat her." " Swear on Godric." " Please." " Jason, come on." "Hey." " Swear on Godric." "I swear on Godric." "Wake up." "Jason." "Jason, are you okay?" "Jason,baby." "Mama." "What?" "Jason, it's me, Sookie." "Drink of me." "Drink all of me." "Chancellor Compton." "Oh, good." "Breakfast." "This is a shifter." "Can you not smell the difference?" "You guys really don't spend much time in the outside world, do you?" "Ungag him." " Bill, just hear me out." " You should never have come here." "My girlfriend's daughter was kidnapped by Steve Newlin." "I want to get her back." " Now you know too much." " I give my word, I'll never" "I can't trust that." "Goddamn it." "He flew into the ventilation duct." "Oh, and by the way, we've been breached." "How could I have lived for so long and never encountered a fairy?" "Because the only thing you cared about was rising up the ranks of the Authority." "Overachiever." "Well, somebody had to do something to make Father proud." "It must kill you that he loved me more." "It kills me that you think he did." "They got Pam." "You're insane to go back in there." "She's my progeny, Nora." "She's family." "She's a former prostitute." "We're going." "Just as soon as we stash this somewhere safe." "You sure this thing is light-tight?" "Looks like Tupperware." "It's 100 percent light-tight and virtually indestructible." "Are you kidding?" "Even I can destroy it." "Oh, by the way, she's family too, so be nice to her." "Hm." "Maybe I should take you to the emergency room." "You're acting pretty weird." "It's a wonder one of those things ain't killed your baby sister." "Lord knows they tried." "Jason, are you even hearing me?" "What the--?" "Oh, my God." "Tara." " Are you okay?" " Oh, fuck." "Tara." "I forgot that you were one of them." "This reminds me." "You haven't gotten around to transferring ownership of my house back to me." "A fucking fanger owns my mama's house?" " We'll do it the first thing tomorrow." " Ain't right." "If we survive tonight." "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I need you to come with us into the Vampire Authority." "They've got Bill and Jessica." " And Pam." " And you owe Pam." "Heh." "There ain't no fucking way I'm gonna let her go anywhere with you." "Jason, I got this." "What about Mama and Daddy?" "Sook, you ought to tell all these fucking fangers to go back to hell where they came from." "Something funny, fanger?" " Yes, blood bag." " Leech." " Breather." " Dead fuck." " Meat sack." " Stop acting like children." "You smell like something I once dreamed of." "Eric, please ask your sister not to look at me." "Look, I already know vampires are behind the Tru Blood factory bombings." "Bill was behind those bombings." "And they did it to force mainstreaming vampires to feed on humans." "And we gotta get them out of there before he loses himself completely." "Now, if anybody can get through to him it's you." "And you owe Pam." " Okay." " Sook." "Please don't do this." "Don't you want to save Jessica?" "Just think how many vampers you could kill in there, champ." "Okay." "But I'm coming with you." "Oh, sweetie, don't be a fool." "If I want to be a fool, then I will be a fool." "That is my God-given right as an American." "Breached." "What does that mean, exactly?" "It means that whether you patrol our halls or our borders you watch a surveillance screen or you tend to our human livestock you fucked up." "Do you have any idea how many people, human and vampire want to see us all dead?" "Well, thanks for making it easier for them." "But ultimately what matters most is what lies just on the other side of that door." "The actual essence of the very first of our kind God's blueprint for us." "Scour every inch of this place." "Look for rats, mice, flies..." ""cockroaches, termites, fleas!" "Have fun." "Whatever you find, kill it." "And if doesn't shift back into human form after it's dead, then keep on looking." "Dismissed." "Have you seen Chancellor Akinjide?" "I found him earlier in the blood shrine." "He was about to drink all of the sacred blood." "He said Lilith had appeared to him and chosen him to lead us." "So I killed him." "Because Lilith appeared to me." "She said you were chosen." "She told me to serve and protect you." "She said you were the prophet for the new age." "Just breathe, baby." "We're gonna get out of here soon, okay?" "Promise." "I tried reasoning." "Apparently, he's lost his motherfucking mind." "I'm gonna case this place which is huge, by the way, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere." " So if they come for you, shift." " I'm not leaving her." "Emma's safe." "She's a pet." "They don't feed on wolves." "I'm not leaving her." "You're not gonna be much use to her dead, now are you?" "Listen, I'll be back as soon as I can." "If they come for you, shift and escape." "There's ventilation ducts in the ceiling." "I will find you." "We'll come back for Emma." "Good luck." "Don't be scared." "They're religious fanatics, both of them." "Well, I can totally believe it about Bill." "He's always looking for something to feel guilty about." "But Eric?" "No way." "They're worse than my uncle who started his own church." "He told my cousins there was no Santa Claus just so that Jesus wouldn't have any competition." "Eric has always made such fun of religion." "Not in here." "It's like they're in a cult." "You know, their eyes get crazy, and you know how crazy feeds crazy?" "They want to conquer the world, and they're crazy enough to do it and it doesn't matter how many people get hurt or killed." "One of the worst things about being immortal is having to watch this same stupid scenario happen over and over." "It's usually the humans, though." "Guess this proves we're just as fucking retarded as they are." "Can't believe Eric and Bill weren't even gonna warn Sookie..." "..." "Russell Edgington was coming after her." " Must all roads lead to fucking Sookie?" "They were just gonna let him drain her, all because according to their Vampire Bible she's an abomination." "Maybe there's something to this religion after all." "You know, it took both of us to take that buck down this morning." "Sure would be a shame if you overcooked it." "Take down one vamp, and all of a sudden you're the world's expert on everything?" "Any advice you want to give me on how I'm dressed?" "Well, now that you mention it, I do have a few ideas of how you can play to your strengths a little better." "Maybe we can go get a mani-pedi." "Worst part of being a parent no matter how hard you try you can't keep your kids from eventually learning what a shithole this world is." "How corrupt, mean, arbitrary." "You just want to shield them from it let them believe life is safe and fair." "Bad gets punished good gets rewarded." "Because if they can believe that, you almost can too." "But when you yourself end up being the one to teach them how fucked up things are well, that's a hell of a thing to ever come back from." "Dad I heard this exact same speech before." "More than once." "Words are great deeds are better." "Yep, it's the deeds I always had a hard time with, huh?" "Not always." "Thank God you're here, Alcide." "I don't know where else I would have turned." "Help me get Rikki out." "Hey." "Hey" "Alcide." "Alcide." "They made me drink it." "Death." "I wanted to fucking puke it up." "And then I wanted more." "I wanted to kill everything that ever lived, rip out its heart and eat it raw." "Don't fucking touch me, dyke." " Hey!" "Come here." " Oh, yeah." "You like it rough?" "Oh, take your pants off, cowboy." " Show you what a real werebitch can do." " What happened?" "J.D.'s been force-feeding vampire blood to everyone in the pack." "Says they'll need it to fight the holy wars." "I'm afraid she might have OD'd." "I'm afraid she might die, Alcide!" "Shouldn't you try to be a little less conspicuous?" "I mean, given our cargo?" "These days, if anyone knew what was inside those?" "Honestly, Sook, somebody wants to pop them open and fry these bitches up they can be my guest." "Jason." "Jason." "Jason, these are our friends." "They ain't my friends." "We're gonna need their help getting into the Authority." "And once we're in, anything with fangs is fair game." "This isn't funny." "I'm on it, Daddy." "Tonight." "Jason, killing a bunch of vampires won't bring Mama and Daddy back." " Nope." "But it'll make me feel better." " Jason." "Don't stand there bellyaching." "Fill the bag." "No, not until you look at me." "Eric, Tara and Nora, they're on our side." " They want to get Bill out before" " Before things what?" "Spin out of control?" "That train has already sailed." "I'm so proud of you, taking such good care of your sister." " There's a fucking war coming." " Because she is living in a dream world." "It's us against them, and that is the sad reality." "Damn straight." "Us or them." "So if I have to kill Bill tonight or any of the rest of them I am gonna do it." "And you better be prepared to do the same." "The time for tolerance is over." "Infamous vampire terrorist Russell Edgington recorded by a security camera at a Louisiana fraternity house the site of a brutal vampire attack that claimed 22 lives." "Colloidal silver?" "Yep." "Makes the V want to leave your body, usually through sweat." "Not a pleasant feeling, but once it's past, she'll feel better." " That's good to know." " If I could have got some of this into J.D we could have had a real packmaster competition, fair and square." " He was a good wolf once." " Weren't we all?" "It's working its way out of you, honey." "J.D. do anything else to you?" "Um, maybe I'll tell you if you tell me why you couldn't pick up a phone and let me know where you were." "You just left without a word." "Don't pretend like that night didn't mean anything to you." "I'm not." "It did." "Tell me what happened." "J.D. called a pack meeting." "Said it was an emergency." "When we got there, they held us down." "He poured it into our mouths." "Is that all?" "It was for me." "But not for some of the younger girls." "He might have been a good wolf once, but he isn't anymore." "Clearly." "He wasn't all jacked up on V, I'd kill him right now." "But as it is, he practically killed me." "The only way to beat him is to play by his rules." "If he's on the same blood that Rikki's on, it's some seriously inferior shit." "I got some of the best shit available, keep for special occasions, just like this one." "Lots of folks wanted to kill me over the years." "I do what I have to, to stay alive." "Hey." "I have an idea." "Will it Work?" "I hope so." "Hey." "'Bye-bye." "'Bye-bye." "Hey, bitches." "I made some Cajun margaritas." "Ohh!" "I do not want to even know what is in that." "But you want to taste it." "Ha, ha." "I do." "Oh, my goddess." " That is amazing." " Mm." "You look like you could use a cup." "Oh, I don't know." "It's pretty close to sundown." "Oh, come on, peaches." "Just a little sippy-sip." "Arlene, after the last few days, you deserve a little R and R." "I heard that, girl." "Mm!" "It's like candy." "Lafayette, what is this music?" "I don't wanna think about how many hours of my life I've spent listening to Sam Merlotte's redneck ass taste in music." "I'm gonna take advantage of his absence, listen to something decent for a change." "All right." "Something nasty." "Ohh!" "Look at him work that thing." "Oh, yeah." "Uh-oh." " Roll it out." " Uh-oh." "Mm-hm." "Mm-hm." "Ha, ha." "Okay." "You mind just sitting tight here for a while so I can talk to my friend privately because what I got to say to her is not gonna be easy." "Take your time." "Will you get me some salt first?" "So you got a big date tonight?" "Hey, sheriff." "Oh." "Hey, Ms. Bodehouse." "Andy, Jane, please." "Haven't we slept together by now?" "I don't think so." "Oh, I think we slept together at some point." "In the woods?" "No, wasn't me." "Andy, you slept with Jane Bodehouse?" "When?" " No." "She's drunk." " I am." "Well, I'm glad you didn't." "I didn't like the way that made me feel." "Ha, ha." "Really?" "How'd it make you feel?" "Like something special that only we share was suddenly not so special anymore." "And that made me sad." "Could we talk?" "Alone?" "Sure." "When did Andy Bellefleur get to be so fucking hot?" "Heh, heh." "Holly, I really care about you." "I haven't felt something like this since, well, my whole life." "Who was it and how many times?" "Her name's Maurella." "And twice." "Once a couple weeks ago, before you and I had ever" "And the other time was almost a week ago." "Clearly after we had-- I'm so sorry." "And now she's pregnant, and she refuses to go to Saint Francis." "Says her kind don't whelp in hospitals." "My" " My light broke." "My beautiful prophet." "Bill's not evil." "I know him." "And starting a civil war between vampires and humans, it's not who he really is." "Poor thing." "Blinded by love." "Too scared to let herself see the truth." "You ever think anyone can really know anybody else?" "I mean, don't we just see what makes us feel good?" "I think you can know somebody else." "It's not easy, and it's not always nice." "But going through some life-changing experiences with that person can help you." "Really?" "Well, it seems to me that philosophy ain't exactly working for you." "You keep falling for boys who are dead." "Ain't that like the ultimate in being unavailable?" " I really don't think that's why I" " No." "Hey, me, too." "Dawn, Amy, Crystal, Jess." "Every last one of them, unavailable." "In some basic, unavailable way." "You know, the problem is us." "We think we don't deserve better than that." "Maybe we don't." "It is not a question of deserving." "It's a question of thinking life owes you something." "It doesn't." "Jason, I know you've got a lot to deal with right now but you can't let it tear you down like this." "Why the hell not?" "Maybe we'd be better off going through life without thinking there's something good waiting for us down the road." "Maybe we wouldn't keep getting hurt if we just expected the worst." "That's right, champ." "Vampers made you orphans." "Learn from it." "Yeah, because that's all we've been getting." "No." "I refuse to think that way." "Well, that's your choice." "But you gotta let me think that way if I want to." "Okay." "How's your head?" "Jason, that's as big as a walnut." " Pull over." " Fuck, man." "Please." "I cannot believe I'm midwifing for your pregnant girlfriend that I just found out about." "Believe me, I'd prefer this was not happening just as much as you." "Okay, we're almost there, honey." "Okay?" "Just keep breathing." "Oh, yes." "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "This doesn't seem too hard for you." "I'm guessing this isn't your first pregnancy." "Seventy-three times since I first discovered how." "Okay, that's extreme." "Who knew watching an alien give birth could be so comforting?" "Are you kidding me?" "It's always the weird stuff that's the best." "Shit." "Shit." "It's a girl." " With no umbilical cord." " Oh, my God." "You better be good to her, Andy Bellefleur." "She's gonna have a hard enough time as it is being a woman in this world." "I will." "I swear." "I have no idea what's happening." "Who does, baby Jane?" "Who does?" "Uh..." "We're not done." "I got it." "Hey." "Hey, baby." "Hi." "I've got you, baby, and I am never letting you go." "Do not shift." "Thank you." "She's been cooped up for hours." "Could use a little playtime." "Reverend Newlin." "I aced my statistics exam." "You did?" "That's fantastic." "Go, Chelsea." "Go, Chelsea." "Yes, Chelsea, go." "I thought I'd take Emma for a little walk." "Do you want me to have someone do that for you?" "No." "Thank you, I like doing it." "It gives us a little bonding time." "Where's your Southern accent?" "Sometimes I like to not have a Southern accent." "Really?" "But it's such a part of who you are, of your brand." "Yes, but sometimes I like to keep the brand evolving so consumers are more inclined to stay on their toes." "But doesn't that make it more complicated for consumers and isn't that, like, a huge no-no?" "That is a very good question, which I will have to get back to you on, Chelsea." "Reverend Newlin, you do know that we're on lockdown, don't you?" "Newlin!" "Fucking little dipshit." "Just because you couldn't keep your fangs in your pants, could you?" "Now, I'm gonna need you on damage control ASAP." "Not that you actually can control 22 dead frat boys." "Access granted." "Are you fucking deaf?" "Get in here!" "What the fuck were you and Edgington thinking?" "And where is he?" "Or Kibwe?" "Clearly, Gainesborough and Northman weren't successful." "Government probably killed them and is coming out for us now!" "You stupid little bitch!" "Yeah, well, for a normal, red-blooded American human giving birth ain't nothing like that." " Yes!" " You know, she make me want to do it." "Another girl." "Take good care of them." "Wait a minute." "What?" "You ain't thinking about leaving them with me?" "You sired them." "Now it is your sacred duty to see that at least half of them survive into adulthood." " No!" "That ain't" " Shh!" "The Light Pact has been made flesh now." "I honor what was, what is and what will never be." "Farewell, Andy Bellefleur." "That was awesome." "You're a dick." "Come on, J.D.!" "Slake and burn, fucker!" "Drinks on me, everybody!" " Who's up first?" " Ahh!" "Shut the fuck up, dead man!" "Yeah." "Ain't we had enough?" "Ain't no such thing as too much V." "That's enough, J.D." "The fuck?" " I abjured you." " Abjure this." "He's gonna kill him!" "He's killing him!" "Stay out of it." "This is between J.D. and Alcide." "Think you've won this one, son." "Oh, my God." "Did he kill him?" "He's dead." "Guess we got a new packmaster." "This stops tonight." "We're wolves." "We respect ourselves." "We respect our pack." "We respect nature." "Without exception." "We do not surrender to nihilism." "We do not take advantage of those who are younger or weaker than we are." "This is how it's going to be in this pack from now on." "If you don't like it, then you have 24 hours to get the hell out or you face me right now." "Tonight we choose pack." "Chancellors." "We weren't expecting you until tomorrow evening." "Our flight was aborted halfway to D.C. No one's told us why or met us when we got back to New Orleans." "Has there been trouble?" "There's been a breach." "Shape shifter." "We're still on lockdown." "I'll need to call this in." "Chelsea, I have Chancellors Northman and Gainesborough at the gate requesting access." " What's your cargo?" " The vampire's a mainstreaming spy." "Humans are lunch." "The blonde smells amazing." "Heh, heh." "Yeah, she is pretty amazing." "And mine." "Roger." "They're just trying to track down a chancellor." "Of course." "Send Chancellor Northman and his party on down." " You've been cleared." " Thank you." "Fucking idiots." "As usual, everything falls to me." "I can't ever find anybody." "Compton and Salome are off buttering each other's biscuits half the time." "You know, I hate to say this, but ever since Roman cashed in his chips the work ethic around here has just gone straight to hell." "Okay, you look a little nervous." "Now, you are not gonna veer off this script." "Wait a minute." "We're going live in five?" "Is that five minutes'?" "Five seconds." "And you better sell the shit out of this, preacher man because it looks like you and Russell may have just started a war." "The surveillance video, which has become an internet sensation shows Reverend Newlin and someone who appears to be Russell Edgington entering the fraternity house where those 22 young men were later found drained of their blood." "Joining me now live via satellite..." ""American Vampire League spokesperson Steve Newlin himself." "Reverend Newlin, thanks for joining us." "Uh, it's my pleasure, Suzanne, to be able to refuse" "Refute these heinous charges which have obviously been fabricated by a sick and hateful mind." "Can we please start with the cheap and obviously manufactured vid--?" "Video." "Reverend Newlin?" "Reverend?" "Reverend, are you all right?" " Christ." " Oh, God." "I did not see that shit coming." "Vampires are keeping humans prisoner in an underground bunker somewhere in New Orleans." "They're feeding on them and killing them." "Come here, baby." "Here we go." "Okay, all right." "You're fine." "Luna?" "Luna?" "Thank you, Lilith O Mother, for the gift you have bestowed upon me." "And I swear upon my life thy will shall be done." "Vampires shall rightfully rule this earth." "Now." "Guide me, O Mother as I surrender to you completely." "Initiating Level Two protocols." " Go!" " Initiating Level Two protocols." "Initiating Level Two protocols." "Stay back!" "Initiating Level Two protocols." " In five, four..." " Clear." "...three, two, one." "Level Two protocols." "Watch out." "It's slippery." "Okay, weapons tight." "Go." "See what you've been missing working for the fucking Authority?" "Control room." "Great." "Now what?" "Sookie?" "Hi." " Jessica." " What the fuck are you doing?" "I'm getting you the fuck out of jail, bitch." "Ew." "Y'all need to hold tight." "We need to wait here." "Wait for what?" "Eric and Nora to disarm and unlock everything." "Nice plan." "Sure beats yours." "Nora, you gotta do that thing first." " I know." " Reroute the sensor system" " That's the first thing I did." " You didn't." " Let me just" " You think you understand the system..." "..." "I helped design better than I do?" " Maybe, maybe not." "Come on." "I know you're out there." "Suck on that, you dead piece of shit." "Oh, Sookie, can you get these doors?" "Right, because they're made of silver and y'all are vampires." "Duh." "Aah!" "Tara." "Oh, okay." "I knew it." "Quite the ritualistic tone you're setting." "Do you not think the occasion befitting?" "Tonight, Lilith's darkest dream will be made real." "I'm sorry." "I know you want this for yourself but I was chosen." "Lilith, in her wisdom wanted the strongest." "I'm glad you're here to witness." "You will tell this story many times." "Salome, think about this." "You don't know what drinking all of it will do." "Lilith knows." "That's good enough for me." "If it were to affect you adversely you would be a tremendous loss to the movement." "This is not a movement, Bill." "This is the fucking rapture." "All you've seen, and you still doubt?" "That"" "...is why I am stronger." "Apparently." "Come on now." "Jason, it's us." "Oh, come here." "Come on." "Fuck." "Oh, my God." "It's so good to see you." "I've missed you so much." "I've been an idiot, and I love you and" "I can't ever love a vampire." "Sorry, I can't do it." "They'll be waiting for you up top." "So I suggest you all reload on the ride up." "Hello." "Wait." "Aren't you coming with us'?" "We're gonna get Bill." "Eric, you can't be serious." " Sookie." " Make sure it's safe up there for us." "We'll be up momentarily." "Of course it was a competition." "But a weak spot for you, Salome" "And it always has been." "Is that you're not very good at predicting an adversary's behavior." "Possibly because of your monumental narcissism." "You were so impatient for the rapture that you didn't even smell the silver in the blood." "And I put in a lot." "But I knew that you would never smell it because you are too impatient in your lust for greatness." "You defiled the Mother's Blood..." "...with silver?" " Ha, ha, ha." "I would never desecrate the Holy Grail." "Lilith chose wisely." "So Lilith appeared to you as well?" "Only to savagely obliterate my maker." "She's a mad god, Bill." "She's nothing but destruction." "Don't do it." " So you can?" " Pour it in the fucking fire." " You'll never stop me." " So Why'd you authorize our entry then?" " You knew we would try." " I wasn't yet sure I'd be able to get rid of Salome on my own." " Bill, this isn't you." " What the fuck do you know about me?" "For all you know, everything I did while with you was an act..." "...calculated to elicit a particular response." " I know that's not true." "Why, because of the light you bear?" "Did you ever consider the possibility that it's a handicap?" "One that blinds you to the most obvious of truths?" "That you are an abomination, just like the Vampire Bible states." "Bill, you are stronger than this." "You are capable of sympathy and kindness and generosity." "You are unique among all the vampires I've met." "Don't throw that away." "I have spent my entire life as a vampire apologizing believing I was inherently wrong somehow." "Living in fear." "Fear that God had forsaken me, that I was damned." "But Lilith grants us freedom from fear." "Vicissitudes, 9:24." "Fear not, for my blood is beyond fear fear of sin, fear of mankind fear of retribution." "For thou art begat by God and this world is but a spring to slake thy sacred thirst!" "If I ever meant anything to you at all" "I told you the first night we met." "Vampires often turn on those they love the most." "Oh, God." "Oh, God!" "Sookie." "Fuck." "Run!"
