"You're gonna kill him!" "Joe Lee!" "Fucker don't know when he's beat!" "Stop!" "You're killing him!" "I'm teachin' him." "You just relax now." "Is he dead?" "He's just restin'." "I hate hurting' him like that." "He's fine." "There's a big money fight tomorrow in St. Charles parish." "I figure..." "Ahhh!" "Stop it, Tommy!" "Now who's the bitch, bitch?" "Ugh." "Ahhh!" "Get offa him!" "Ahhh!" "No, Mama!" "Aw, shit!" "Ahhh!" "Ahhh!" "Ahhh!" "Remember I once said I wouldn't be free till the day you die?" "Worthless piece o' shit." "No!" "You're killin' him!" "Stop it!" "I'll kill you!" "Oh!" "Mama?" "Mama?" "Mama?" "Mama?" "Mom..." "Oh." "No." "No, Mama." "Mama." "Mama." "Oh, oh." "What?" "What happened?" "Hooker, you pissed off another vampire and then you took a goddamn nap." "You screwed us." "Again." "I'm outta here." "Me, too." "Wait a minute." "Marnie, what happened?" "She returned." "Who returned?" "The spirit." "She was with us at MoonGoddess..." "The night were buffed, the first vampire attack, and she was with us again tonight." " She saved us." " Saved us?" "Oh, Witchie-Poo, you have royally fucked us." "It wasn't me." "I was taken over." "Taken?" "You mean possessed?" "Whatever words I spoke, they came from..." "Another consciousness." "I was just a conduit." "I..." "Look..." "This kind of dog-ate-my-homework excuse..." "It don't really fly with the vampires..." "Because they sniff that shit and then they eat you like a fuckin' pot pie." "This spirit is benevolent." " She is our protector." " Protector?" "Because of her, we got two vampires just itchin' to put us in the ground." "But the vampires brought this fight to us." "We assembled peacefully." "We were harming no one." "That's some catchy shit for your headstone." "Good night." "No kiddin'." " You can't just run away." " Watch us." "Wait." "You're leaving me here?" "In the middle of nowhere?" "Hello?" "Come on, Arlene." "We don't even know what it means." "What do you think it means?" "It means Rene is comin' back to take Mikey." "Rene's dead." "Do you really think a ghost picked up a Magic Marker and wrote on a wall?" "Well, do you think a baby did?" "I ain't gonna let Rene hurt my child." "You hear me, Rene?" "You keep your ghost hands off my baby." "Oh!" "God help us, Terry." "That's it." "We need to ask God for help." "Well, I've been prayin' to him every night..." "But apparently my prayers go straight to his voicemail." "I'm not talkin' about praying'." "I'm talkin' about gettin' a real, live man of God in here to shoo the evil away." "Like in Poltergeist." "Cleanse the house." "Well, we ain't been to church in forever." "We might end up pissing God off..." "Lookin' like them Christians who only turn to him when they need something." "Don't sell God short." "Okay?" "He loves love, and we got a lot of love in this family." "Well, then call the Reverend." "All right." "You hear that, Rene?" "God's comin' for you." "Hello, Eric." "Don't touch her." "She's beautiful." "Who are you?" "No." "You are incapable of love." "You are damned." "She can redeem me." "You cannot be saved." "You are a creature of death, and the living are good for only one thing." "And it is not love." "Drink." "No." "Ahhh!" "Eric, what the hell?" "Uh..." "I had a bad dream." " Careful." "Watch his head." " Easy, easy, easy." "Come on." "Let him sleep." "Ugh." "You just saved my best friend's life." "Mmm." "It's all in the wrist." "What?" "Nothing." "Nothing, nothin'." "Um..." "Hmm." "What?" "Nothin'." "I'm sorry." "I'm just tired from giving Jason my blood." "Jess?" "Is there something you're not telling me?" "Like what?" "I don't know." "Did you kill another trucker?" "Nope." "Sweetie, everything's fine." "I'm just..." "I'm tired." "Honest." "Now, come on." "Let's go home." "Hey, you go." "I'm gonna stay with Jason." "You sure?" "Well, good night." "I love you." "Good evening, Miss Bellefleur." "Thank you for seeing me on such short notice." "It's a private matter." "This is impossible." "We share a bloodline." "From now on, our relationship will be strictly professional." "Fact, 42 states have repealed their anti-incest laws." "Even in cases of brother and sister, they have found no credible reason..." "To ban sex between two consenting adults." "Please do not think that you have my consent." "Fact." "Incest is only taboo because of the potential for genetically-morbid offspring." "And vampire-human sex will not, cannot result in offspring." "Portia, there are pressing matters to which I must attend." "For God's sake, Bill, there are married..." "Cousins in Bon Temps with more common DNA than you and me." "But that is not something I choose to participate in." "I have done research." "In 1941, a family from Shreveport..." "Portia." "You are not romantically interested in me." "I'm not?" "Actually, I terrify you." "And from now on, when you look at me..." "You will have an uncontrollable urge to scream and run away." "I don't know why I'm crying." "Godric was your maker." "You loved him." "You miss him." "He said I was evil." "It was a dream." "Am I evil?" "Well, you're not Gandhi, but..." "No, you're not evil." "I like being next to you." "Why are you laughing?" "It's just that if someone had told me a week ago..." "I'd be curled up in bed with Eric Northman, stroking' his hair..." "I would have..." "You woulda what?" "It's just you weren't always like this." "Like what?" "Gentle, sweet." "But it suits you." "It's what Godric would have wanted, to see you like this." "He was the most human of all the vampires I've ever met." "It's strange to miss someone you don't remember." "Would it be all right if I stayed here till sunrise?" "As long as you promise to keep your hands and your fangs to yourself." "I promise." "Uh." "Oh." "I would never hurt anyone as beautiful as you." "Oh, good." "The world needs more beekeepers." "We have a goddamn problem." "You went to see the witch, and you were told not to." "Yes, and I'm sorry." "But I'm through making nice, Bill." "I can put up with a lot, but you fuck with my face, it's time to die." "And I'd like permission to torture and kill..." "The mousy little bitch who cast the spell." "I'm afraid not, Pam." "The Authority has forbidden all vampire on human violence." "The punishment is the true death." "I do not wish that for you." "Look at my fucking face." "Convene your Sheriffs, so we can kill this uppity Wiccan cunt." "Your Majesty." "Unfortunately, my hands are tied at the moment." "But, I do not plan to ignore this." "In the meantime, maybe there's a, a cosmetic solution." "Maybe some extra lipstick." "I've tried that." "Here's the problem." "Well, the veil then." "Really?" "You're bringing two suitcases." "Hey." "Packin' light and bein' me don't mix." "I doubt your granddaddy's gonna be much help against a pissed-off Eric Northman." "My granddaddy's a brujo , a shaman ." "He has considerable power." "You should come with us." "To Mexico?" "Hell, no." "I'm goin' back to N' Orleans." "Never should have left." "You gonna be okay?" "Soon as I get this fuckin' town in my rearview." "You?" "Feel like I got a dark cloud following' me." "Just keep your eyes and ears open." "Come here." "We gonna make it through this, okay?" "Yeah." "Come on, baby." "We should go." "Why in the hell are we goin' all the Mexico to visit a dude you hate?" "As of last night, Lafayette..." "We live in a world where two fucking vampires want to kill us." "I know that." "Um..." "Well, then..." "We gotta fight fire with goddamn fire." "And you think Grandpa is gonna protect us from big, bad fuckin' Eric Northman?" "Hmm?" "The last time I saw my grandfather, was on my ninth birthday." "He said he had a present for me." "We were poor, so any present was a pretty big deal." "I'd always wanted a pet." "Now I had one." "I was so happy." "No!" "When it was over, he whispered to me..." "Take the spirit inside of you." "Take the spirit inside of you." "I had no idea what he meant." "Fuck the bullshit." "Yo, we ain't goin' near your crazy-ass granddaddy." "No, no, listen." "When I licked that knife, Lafayette..." "I felt something inside of me that I have never felt before..." "And I haven't felt it since." "It was power..." "A force, and it was incredible." "But then my mother saw us." "She stopped him." "We left that night, we never went back." "But whatever I felt that day, whatever that force was...we need it." "We need it now." "You driving'..." "Goat killer." "Hello?" "Baby?" "Hey." "What's new?" "I'm gettin' the hell outa here, Nay." "It was a big mistake comin'." "If I ever talk about doin' it again, you have my permission..." "To handcuff me to the bed." "I can't wait to see you." "I really miss you." "I miss you, too, Toni." " Can I ask you a question?" " Sure." "Who the fuck is Tara Thornton?" "Sam!" "What?" "Sam, Sam." "I, I..." "Jesus." "Oh my God." "I fucked up, Sam." "I see that, Tommy." "What are we gonna do?" "Hey, Holly." "I've been meaning to ask you how your group's goin'." "Heck, I don't even know what you call it." "Witch group?" "Wicca group?" "Well, Wicca usually, but witch is fine, too." "Scares off the dummies that think we all fly around on broomsticks..." "Turning people into toads." "I've always been real interested in Wicca myself." "Seems real spiritual, peaceful." "But, I heard you guys got attacked by a vampire." "I don't really want to talk about that, Sookie." "I mean, I know you're friends with a lot of vampires, and, and I do not judge, but..." "I got kids I gotta think about, okay?" "Oh, okay." "Sorry." "No offense." "None taken." "If fuckin' Marnie hadn't cast that spell..." "He woulda killed her." "Too dangerous." "I won't be goin' back to MoonGoddess anytime soon, no sirree." "So, they forced you to have sex with how many women?" "I don't know." "Uh, a dozen..." "Maybe dozen." "Ugh, it was fuckin' horrible." "I swear, look, as much as I love it..." "Every bad thing that's ever happened to me is 'cause of sex." "Jealous boyfriends." "Becomin' a drug addict." "Mmm." "Uh..." "Uh, bein' accused of murder." "Right." "And now this." "I mean, it started out innocent." "So innocent." "With me chasing Crystal's cute little butt..." "And ended up with me in a shack, gettin' repeatedly violated." "I don't know, maybe God's punishin' me for, for havin' too much sex." "You know, he's like, "Jason Stackhouse, you have fucked too many hot women."" ""Now let's see how you like it."" "I'm thinkin' maybe you ain't the only one bein' punished." "Wait." "Jessica raped you?" "No." "No, but look, somethin's up with her." "Like, I love that girl so much, but lately she's real distant." "Like, if go to give her a hug, her whole body tenses up like she's having a cavity filled." "Bubba, I love ya, and you my best friend, but..." "That pales in comparison to what I've been through." "Don't you think?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry, man." "Okay." "Here you go, sir." "Goddamn it, Sookie." "You took my eggs!" "No, I didn't." "Ugh." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I've been snappy all day." "Full moon's tomorrow night." "It's messin' with my head." "Full moon tomorrow?" "Yeah, you feelin' it, too?" "No." "You okay?" "Uh, yeah, he's just goin' through a rough patch." "I called you twice yesterday." "You never called me back." "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Nothin'." "So, uh, uh..." "Hoyt, can you take care of this?" "I'll pay you back." "Sure, man." " Jason, wait." " I gotta go, Sook." "Hello, Mrs. Bellefleur." "Reverend Daniels, Lettie Mae." "What a surprise." "Uh, come on in." "Reverend Daniels." "Terry." "Lettie Mae." "How do." "It's Mrs. Daniels now." "Oh." "Well, congratulations." "You didn't me you called Reverend Daniels." "Why wouldn't you call Reverend Skinner from our church?" "I like Reverend Daniels." "They sing at his church." "It's livelier." "Plus, Reverend Skinner told me he don't do this kind of thing." " Woo!" "Yes, Lord." " Hoo!" "That song will bring good energy up in here." "Whoo, folks been singin' that song in our church for over 200 years." "Is that right?" "Well, I am just so happy that you people are willin' to use your special gift..." "For this sort of thing to help us out." "What you mean, you people?" "You know, religious." "Praise Him!" "And vanish the wretched darkness that we may rid this dwelling of evil." "In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ." "Hallelujah." "Whoo." "Smells a little like pot." "Not really." "Shhh." "The sage smokes out the evil." "Gotta get it up from the corners." "That's where the evil hides." "You know, I was possessed by a demon, so I have firsthand knowledge." "Well, we don't have a demon, just a ghost." "Oh." "Well, this works on ghosts, too." "Hi." "Hi." "I was passin' by and I saw your sign." "I'd like a reading, please." "We're closed." "Really?" "Nuts." "Can I just say this is the cutest little store!" "You know, when I was a kid, and I was home sick from school..." "My two favorite shows were Sabrina and Charmed." "God's honest." "Fine." "Sit." "Oh, really?" "Thanks." "Miss?" "Uh, Marnie." "Sookie." "What's the back room for?" "For meetings." "It's, uh, just social events." "Is that right?" "Mmm." "You know, I'm a real social butterfly myself." "Mmm." "The way I see it, a stranger's just a friend you haven't met yet." "Uh, could I have something to hold on to, just something personal." "Now, just relax." "Just think of a question." "There is a presence." "There's someone who's crossed over not so long ago." "A woman." "I see a yellow apron." "Someone older." "Oh my God." "That's..." "that's my Gran." "Uh, she misses you very much." "I miss her." "Is she okay?" "Is she happy?" "Mmm, she's at peace." "Mmm, she wants to make sure you look after someone." "Um..." "Mmm." "Uh, a sibling." "Oh, your brother?" "Jason." "Mmm." "Your, your..." "Gran has another message for you." "Are you falling in love?" "Well, I don't, I don't think so." "Your Gran says this, uh, new man, who you have feelings for..." "You are not to give him your heart" "Uh, the situation is temporary." "isn't going to last." "Uh, it will not last." "Sookie." "Sookie, I know you're listenin'." "It's Gran." "What?" "Sweetheart, this woman poses great danger." "No!" "How could I be a danger to someone?" "I have never hurt anybody." "Get away from her." "Run, Sookie, run." "Get out now!" "Oh my God." "What?" "What are you doing?" "Lady, when my Gran tells me to run, I run." "Keep the change." "I can't believe it." "I can't..." "Tommy..." "I can't fucking believe it." "Tommy, hold it together." "Don't go nuts on me right now." "Oh, fuck." "We're fucked, Sam!" "They know I'm in here." "I'm gonna surrender." "Shut up." "Get in back." "Huh?" "No." "Tommy, you're covered in blood." "Now get in the back!" "I'm fucked." "Oh, fuck..." "Oh shit!" "Hey, I ain't gonna let no cop take you down, Sam." "I'll kill him first." "Nobody's killin' nobody." "Now lay low, and don't make a goddamn sound." "Know why I pulled you over, sir?" "Andy." "I'm not having the best day." "What do you want?" "You giving me attitude, Merlotte?" "All right, Andy, you made your point." "You can fuck with me whenever you want to." "Can I go now?" "Is that blood?" "Probably." "It's my brother's van." "He's..." "he's always using it for hunting'." " Unlock 'em." " Andy..." "You made your point." "I said unlock 'em." "No." "Open the doors!" "Jesus, I'll do it." "Ahhh!" "Uh..." "Motherfuckin' Jesus!" "Shee-it!" "Goddamn!" "Nice move, Tommy." "What the fuck, Merlotte?" "Found him by the dumpster." "Thought I'd bring him to the swamp where he belongs." "We done here?" "Ha, I ain't killed him." "And Jesus wept." "I thought we'd lost you from the circle." "Well, I'm back." "And, Marnie, I'm worried." "What about?" "Not the vampires, I hope." "Yes, the vampires." "I heard there was another incident in the woods." "Is that true?" "That wasn't an incident." "I want to tell you somethin'." "We are being watched over, Katie." "We are being protected." "We are?" "Yes." "You're not." "Ow!" "What?" "What are you doing?" "Who are you?" "Stay quiet, Ma'am." "Target is secure." "Naomi?" "A girlfriend?" "I didn't plan it." "Just kinda fell for her." "And all these years we've been friends, you never..." "It ain't like that with you." "I was gonna say you never knew you liked girls." "Never did before." "You got more ice cream?" "Sorry." "We're all out." "So, when do we get to meet her?" "She doesn't know about you." "Oh." "Hell, she doesn't even know about me." "I've been lyin' to her, Sook." "She thinks I'm at my grandmother's funeral in Atlanta." "Hell, she thought my name was Toni." "Toni?" "Why?" "'Cause I hate this place." "I hate what it did to me, and I want to fuckin' bury it." "I'm back here 20 minutes, and Eric Northman wants to kill me." "And now Naomi found a bunch of stuff with my real name on it." "She's gonna break up with me, and I don't blame her." "Do you love her?" "I think so." "Then you gotta fight." "Got to make her forgive you." "That's easy advice to give, but would you forgive Bill?" "If he were here right now, fightin' for you, would forgive him?" "We're talking about you." "That's what I thought." "Anyway, I told so many lies, I don't know where to start." "I'd start with your name." "You think?" "Gotta be honest with the people you love." "Moon mother, goddess of night, take what's wrong and set it right." "Moon mother, goddess of night, take what's wrong and set it right." "Moon mother, goddess..." "Release us." "Release us." " Goddess." " Goddess." " Spirit of the ages." " Spirit of the ages." " Hear us." " Hear us." " Grant us freedom." " Grant us freedom." " Break down these walls." " Break down these walls." " Release us." " Release us." " Goddess." " Goddess." "In nomine patrier et fili et espiritu sancti." "Whoo." "Whoo." "I told her I had a brother named Jason." "I lied my ass of." "You know what you should do?" "You should go tell her right now." "No, I will." "Uh, hey, Sook, can I stay here tonight?" "I don't feel safe at Lafayette's." "Actually, it's not a good night." "What is up with you?" "You're acting really weird." "I'm sorry." "You know you're always welcome here." "I just don't think tonight's the best night..." "Okay, fine." "It's not personal." "I just..." "Tara, calm down." " Eric, stop." " Keep the fuck away!" "Eric, wait!" "Keep the fuck away!" "Both of you, stop it!" "What the hell is he doin' here?" "I live here." "What?" "You told me he was missin'." "It's not what you think." "I just put out my heart to you..." "And you talked about telling the truth and being honest." "Meanwhile, you got somebody who wants to kill me in your basement?" "You're a fucking hypocrite!" "Tara, wait." "Something happened." "He's different." "He's not gonna hurt you." "He's a psycho, murdering asshole!" "No, he's not!" "You got a short goddamn memory." "This is the fucker who sold you out to Russell Edgington." "He tricked you into drinking his blood." "He locked Lafayette in a dungeon and tortured him!" "You hate Eric Northman!" "Tara, listen." "Fuck the both o' you!" "Good evening, Marnie." "My name is Bill Compton." "And I promise no harm will come to you if you cooperate." "I just want to ask you some questions." "Where am I?" "You're in a locked room with no means of escape." "So, you should think carefully before answering." "Recently, a vampire associate of mine..." "Entered the MoonGoddess Emporium and has not been seen since." "Do you know what happened to him?" "He attacked us." "We started chanting, and..." "He left." "I have no idea where he went." "What were you chanting?" "It was a, a non-specific protection incantation." "I barely remember what I said because your associate took a chunk out of my neck." "Yes, he does that." "Please tell her to reverse this goddamn spell." "We had assembled peacefully to practice our religion." "You have placed a spell on another associate of mine..." "A rotting spell of some kind, and I'd like you to reverse it." "I don't know how." "Bullshit." "You're certain?" "Yes, I..." "I have no idea how I cast it or how to reverse it." "I'm sorry." "I will glamour her to be certain." "Are you insane?" "You can't go anywhere near her." "Insanity comes with the job." "Don't be afraid." "No." "No." "Don't be afraid." "Don't be afraid." "What are your intentions concerning witchcraft?" "Only to assemble peacefully and practice our religion." "What spell did you cast on Eric Northman at MoonGoddess Emporium?" "I don't know." "I was in a panic." "How do we reverse the spell that you cast on my associate in the woods?" "I don't know how." "Ugh." "You heard her." "Fuck." "Who that is?" "I don't know." "Whoever it is, look like Grandpa still has some lead in the pencil." "Here we go." "When we meet him, you let me do the talking." "Sometimes he can be a little..." "Oh!" "I've been expecting you." "Evenin'." "Can I help you?" "Maybe." "You Alcide Herveaux?" "No use denying' it." "I'm Alcide Herveaux." "You are?" "Who am I?" "Well, how's about I tell you who I'm not, Alcide." "I am not a happy camper." "I'm sorry to hear it." "Well, you best be, friend." "You best be leavin'." "Remove your goddamn foot." "I am Marcus Bozeman..." "Packmaster of Shreveport." "You've been livin' here better than four months now..." "And you still ain't registered with the pack." "You see, that, Alcide..." "Does not bring me to my happy place." "I'm currently exploring free agency." "It's a nice fit so far." "Now, if you don't move your foot, I'll be happy to break it for you." "Loner, huh?" "That doesn't work for me." "Works for me." "Nice boots." "Should point 'em in that direction, friend." "Oh, I'm goin' to hell." "There ain't no hell, Tommy." "Just relax and focus." "Of course there's a hell." "I killed both my parents, and I'm gonna burn for it." "Ain't no way out of that." "Grab Joe Lee." "Aw, shit." "It's in the 10 commandments." "Don't kill shit and don't fuck with your parents." "I did both." "It's..." "Get the other one." "Sorry, Mama..." "Oh, fuck!" "What about war?" "What?" "Well, killin's all right if you're at war, or in self-defense, right?" "Yeah." "You were at war with your parents, and it was self-defense." "You don't know." "You never killed nobody." "What, you killed someone?" "Two people." "I'm doin' all right." "Haven't seen the devil in my shower or nothin'." "Why'd you do it?" "They stole from me." "Figured, they can break that commandment, I can break a different one." "Hell, I wouldn't have thought you had it in you." "Well, you don't know what's in you, till sometimes it just pops out." "Ain't that the truth." "Aw, man, they ain't sinking'." "Don't have to." "Gators love marshmallows." "You should know that." " Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh, Oh God." " Mmm..." " Oh, oh God." " Oh." "Mmm." "Oh." "Mmm." "Oh, oh." "Haven't done that in awhile." "Ah, I know." "Mmm." "Shhh." "You hear that?" "What?" "Absolutely nothin'." "No crying'." "Ain't it the greatest sound in the world?" "Mikey ain't slept this good in ages." "You think?" "I mean, Reverend Daniels said..." "Oh, I don't want to jinx nothin'." "Hey." "You can't jinx God's will." "Terry Bellefleur..." "Sometimes I look at you..." "I feel like could actually turn out all right, you know?" "Like, I can relax, and..." "Stop expecting life to keep kickin' me in the teeth like it always has." "Baby, I look at you and I know everything already has turned out all right." "And all the crap I went through before meeting you was worth it." "Oh." "Oh." "Jess?" "Jason." "Wow." "Oh." "Oh, I want you so bad." "Uh, no, no, no, no, no." "I, I can't." "Hoyt's my best friend." "Oh." "Wait." "Hang on." "Is this a dream?" "Mmm-hm." "Oh." "Well..." "Okay then." "Oh..." "You know who loves this?" "Who?" "Hoyt." "Uh..." "Is that right?" "Mmm-hmm." "And Hoyt loves this." "Hey, hey." "Could we not talk about Hoyt right now?" "Well, sure." "It's up to you, stud." "It's your dream." "Oh." "And, I want you, Jason." "I want you inside of me." "Oh, I want to taste you." "Baby..." "Yeah, and she wants to taste you." "Why?" "She must really like you." "Hoyt, what the hell, man?" "Oh God." "I want you in my mouth." "Aw, she wants you in her mouth." "That's, that's just great." "Hoyt, could you just leave us alone, please?" "Jason." "Kiss me." "Yeah?" "Oh..." "Aw, great." "Now..." "now she's moaning'." "Hoyt, shut up!" "Please." "Sure." "Let me just sit back while you steal my girlfriend." "Whoo." "That's no problem." "Oh, Ahhh!" "Oh..." "Hoyt." "Jason." "Hoyt." "Jason." "Hoyt." "Jason." "Oh, Hoyt." "Ahhh!" "Oh, oh." "Oh my gravy." "Did I really do all those terrible things your friend said I did?" "Yes." "Then your pain is my fault." "Why are you letting me stay with you?" "Because there's more to you than your wot self." "I always knew there was decency in you, even when you were a smug, sarcastic ass." "I still knew it." "Whether decency is in me is irrelevant." "I'm clearly capable of extreme cruelty." "You were." "But I wouldn't be here with you now, I swear it..." "If I didn't know in my heart you could change." "I've seen you change, and I like it." "I like you." "There's a light in you." "It's beautiful." "I couldn't bear it if I snuffed it out." "Eric!" "Please don't go." "You are the four remaining..." "Louisiana Sheriffs, and as such, this matter concerns you." "One of your own, Sheriff Eric Northman..." "Was sent to break up a group of Wiccan practitioners and has not been seen since." "Ooh, witches." "Yikes." "You think witches are to be laughed at?" "Luis, enlighten our friend." "It was 1610." "Legrono, Spain." "A sorceress named Antonia was being burned at the stake." "When she used necromancy..." "To pull all vampires within 20 miles from their sleep." "Into the daylight, priests, nuns..." "And my maker." "They all burned." "I was in Granada, or I, too, would have burned." "Vampire priests?" "Do you know nothing of our history?" "Vampires have often found it advantageous to..." "Maintain a hidden presence in humanity's most powerful institutions," "And in the 1600's, that was the Catholic Church." "And today, as you all know, it's Google and Fox News." "So they outed us 400 years ago?" "Before the Great Revelation?" "No." "I spent weeks tracking every witness down." "I glamoured some." "The rest I killed." "Majesty, let me kill the witch." "I'll help." "Oh, sweetie." "I think your ear..." "Shit." "Oh." "The AVL has issued a mandate." "No human casualties." "We are at war." "You want to buck the Authority?" "You kill her..." "You can kiss Eric Northman goodbye, and Pam, for that matter." "If she can make us walk into the light, let's chop her fuckin' head off." "If you wish for the true death." "God damn it."
