"Detective Knight," "This is Chief Inspector O'Neal, Dublin CID." "Oh, how do you do?" "Liam, please." "Nick." "The inspector is interested in the Volack murder." "I flew here as soon as I heard." "You have a 6'4", 220-pound football player literally torn to pieces." "How and why?" "Don't know." "You do have a witness to the actual crime, only... she didn't see the murderer." "Well, it doesn't look as if I'm needed here." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Captain?" "Will that be the witness statement?" "Yes." "I'm opening everything to Inspector O'Neal."

"In 1979, four people were murdered in Dublin under similar circumstances." "In 1983, in Iceland, four young women." "In 1987, he surfaced again in a retirement home in Maine." "Seven victims." "And now he's here." "Same m.o., a jagged wound across the throat." "Torn to pieces." "But if he has the time, well, he likes to carve them up like a Christmas goose." "Other than that, we have precious little on him." "The inspector has Interpol clearance, so give him full cooperation." "Now, gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, it's been a long day, and I'm ready for a hot bath and dinner." "Well deserved, I'm sure." "Thank you, inspector."

"Have a good soak." "Well?" "I think you'd make a charming addition to the team." "Please, Nick?" "Yeah." "It's time to get your feet wet." "Now tell Schank the coast is clear so we can get on with this." "Yes." "Uh, Nick, if you don't mind," "I'd like to lay down a few ground rules when the others get back."

"I have to ask you this:" "Are you registered to carry a gun?" "Because the department can get you one." "Well, that's very kind of you, but no, no." "Oh, that's right, you don't carry one back home." "No, it's not that." "It's just that I'm quite sure in this particular case, a gun wouldn't be of any use."

"A man's body is torn asunder, and yet there's only a few drops of blood." "So where did it go?" "How would I know?" "Oh, I thought you might have a few ideas." "This is consistent with the rest of the murders, isn't it?" "Oh, yes, yes." "Fascinating." "So, what was all that about?" "I wish I knew." "You know, Nick, this does look very" "I know what it looks like," "Natalie, I know, I know." "Okay, okay." "Are you okay?" "Here, why don't you just take some deep breaths?" "In and out, nice and easy." "I'm sorry, I really should be able to handle this." "You know, I once saw this guy who was hit by a combine." "Whoa, what a mess." "I mean, they found his left hand way over" "Schanke, do you have something really important that you have to go and do?" "I'm just trying to provide a little perspective." "It helps, you know." "Yeah, right." "Nat, could you take these guys back?" "Where are you going?" "To find some answers." "[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]" "Something that can pick up a 220-pound man, shake him like a puppy, and tear him to shreds?" "Hmm." "Are you trying to entertain me?" "He took all his blood, Janette."

"How many names have you had over the past seven centuries?" "Ecoute, Nicholas." "You do not understand what you're dealing with." "I'm going to find him, whether you help me or not."

"I must say, you make a pleasant change from the usual medical examiners" "I'm used to dealing with." "Really?" "How so?" "Well, for a start, you're young, beautiful, and you don't smoke cigars." "You can spare me the Irish charm, O'Neal." "I've had my shots." "I'm immune." "I was just stating the facts." "Can you guys give me a hand here?" "I appreciate your giving us a ride." "Detective Knight left the crime scene rather abruptly." "Well, he does that." "Get used to it." "I was sorry to hear about his affliction." "What affliction?" "Well, his allergy to the sun." "Captain Cohen mentioned it." "Poor fellow can only work at night." "Well, he saves a bundle on sun block." "Does he live alone?" "Well, he's not married, if that's what you mean." "Nick, married?" "Not in my lifetime." "O'NEAL:" "What about his family?" "SCHANKE:" "They're all from Chicago." "But you know, I've never actually seen" "Ireland." "You know," "I've got some family in Ireland" "County Cork." "I've always wanted to go there." "I hear it's beautiful this time of year." "Oh, it redefines the color green, and the air-- Well, it's impossible to describe the smells of Ireland, but, then, it's the people that make a country, and we Irish are a strange breed," "if I do say so myself." "You mean like kissing the Blarney Stone and believing in leprechauns?" "Now, now, don't you go selling the little people short." "I personally know dozens of hard-working, sober people who've seen them." "Wait a minute." "You're trying to tell me that leprechauns actually exist?" "You see, you folk on this side of the pond, you're too sophisticated and cynical to believe in anything but your own technology." "We Irish are more attuned to the old ways." "We're an ancient culture." "Superstitions die hard." "So you're a believer, then, Inspector O'Neal?" "Oh, I believe in a number of things that might surprise you." "SCHANKE:" "Like Santa Claus and the bogeyman?" "Not Santa Claus, perhaps, but if you mean by "the bogeyman"" "a creature from your worst nightmares, yes." "I do, don't you?" "No." "No, I don't, actually." "What about vampires?" "Hey, Nat!" "The road!" "The road!" "[HONKING AND SCREECHING]" "Man!" "Was it something I said?" "SCHANKE:" "I dropped my chili dog." "It's not back here." "I think it rolled up front." "Just lift your legs, Liam." "This killer is much more than a vampire." "Lacroix knew that." "He feared it when he made him." "Lacroix?" "You really don't know who it is, do you?" "[LABORED BREATHING]" "Look." "I told you he would come." "I hope I didn't spoil your evening." "What do you want?" "He is poisoned." "By what?" "By whom." "A surgeon barber in the East End." "I want you to go to his shop, the alleyway behind it, and make sure that he is dead." "Send Janette." "I need her to get fresh blood to cleanse me." "I'm through killing innocent mortals." "You know that." "He is not innocent!" "And you are still one of us." "We cannot take the chance that he will come over." "Since when did you develop scruples?" "Since I tasted his putrid flesh." "Felt his pulse." "Since his life force flooded my brain." "He is dangerous to us, Nicholas." "A madman!" "And we are not?" "What we do is not madness?" "You laugh, just as I feared." "You laugh when you kill!" "I couldn't finish him." "Oh, so that's what's bothering you, is it?" "You finally met someone as depraved as you are." "Why won't you listen?" "He has an evil that I cannot begin to fathom, an insanity that could expose us, jeopardize us all." "I need you to do this for me, Nicholas." "And I will not." "JANETTE:" "Please!" "Nicholas, please." "Please." "Let him suffer, Janette." "I'm leaving for America tomorrow night." "[SOBBING]" "He is lost to us." "Let him go." "Pray that the barber does not live." "[GASPS]" "So this is the barber." "In Hungary, at the turn of the century, he was known as "Bela Kish."" "Twenty-three kills." "And then, in Spain, around the 1920s, he was, "El Muerte de la Noche."" "Thirty-two in one month." "Stupid killings." "Frenzies that attracted stories and investigators." "So why was I not told about this?" "Because Lacroix knew that you would react exactly as you are reacting now." "You had your chance, Nicholas." "You had your chance, and now it's gone."

"You keep coffee under the sink?" "That is so gross." "Hey, when do I drink it?" "Nat, is there something wrong?" "O'Neal's been asking a lot of questions about you." "He even went through your personnel file down at the station." "What kind of questions?" "Oh, where are you from?" "Do you have any family?" "Has anyone seen you during the day?" "Those kind of questions." "And, uh, he asked me if I believed in vampires." "He actually said that?" "What's going on?" "Does O'Neal know about you?" "I'm not sure, but I have the definite impression he knows it's a vampire behind these murders." "So it's true?" "Well, do you know who it is?" "Yes..." "And you're not going to believe it." "Ah, Detective Hellman." "Do you think our, uh, killer will strike again?" "We can count on it." "The pattern suggests at least four killings before he or she moves on." "Mm?" "Well, where will they be?" "In one of the downtown parks." "The killer's m.o. is fairly consistent." "In Dublin, they were all nurses in residence." "In Iceland, they were all lab workers leaving the night shift." "He's territorial." "He kills where he feels most comfortable." "I'm very impressed, detective." "You've done your homework." "So this is where you've been hiding from me." "Well, we were just talking about the case, captain." "And now that we've finished that discussion," "I will go straight to that report." "So...how's it going?" "You have a fine detective in the making in Hellman, captain." "But, uh, now we're going to find out what's she's really made of." "We're off to the morgue to see if our victims can reveal more clues." "Jack the Ripper?" "[MOTOR WHIRS]" "That's just one of his legacies." "He's out there somewhere." "There'll be more killing." "You can't blame yourself, Nick." "It was Lacroix who brought him over." "He asked me for my help." "I'm responsible for this." "I could have stopped him." "Yes, by doing something that you had sworn not to do." "[WHIP CRACKS]" "[HEARTBEAT PULSING]" "[HEARTBEAT STOPS]" "I was there." "The opportunity was mine." "Everyone has regrets, Nick." "Everybody has unfinished business." "Yes." "But mine is a killing machine." "These aren't your first, are they?" "But you've never seen the likes of this, right?" "No." "So how does it affect you?" "Physically or emotionally?" "Both." "Well, you'll get over the physical part." "Pray you never get over the emotional." "The day that happens is the day you've been a copper too long." "Seen everything you wanted?" "Thanks very much, Miss Balthazar." "Mm-hm." "What were you looking for in there?" "To tell you the truth," "I was looking for your reaction." "You know, I don't even know your first name." "Bridget." "Well, how be I call you Bridget, and you call me Liam, then?" "Well, I'd like that..." "Liam." "Very good." "Well, I'd like to seal our friendship with a little gift." "Are you a churchgoer?" "In my family?" "You have to be." "Much like mine." "Well, then, you might appreciate this." "It's lovely." "For me?" "Let me put it on." "Now, you've got to promise me that you'll wear this day and night while I'm here." "Day and night?" "Well, it's a..." "It's a good luck charm." "We Irish are a very superstitious lot." "Thank you." "[SCHANKE CLEARS THROAT]" "Ah, good evening, gentlemen." "An untimely presence." "Visiting hours are over." "We're going to take a soil sample at the Volack site with Forensics." "You're invited." "Actually, I think I'll let" "Detective Hellman cover that." "I want to talk to Volack's girlfriend." "We've gone over her statement with you a dozen times already." "Well, sometimes I like to get the sense of a person." "So you're off without me." "So, Hellman, you and the inspector seem to be getting quite cozy." "We're just working together." "Yeah, like Nick and me, right?" "Just partners." "Nick, did I ever kiss you?" "If he keeps bothering you," "I give you my permission to shoot him." "It wasn't anything romantic." "I was just thanking him for the beautiful gift he gave me." "See?"

"How?" "He was nearly one of us." "A half-drained mortal." "Like the barber." "Except that O'Neal did not taste enough vampire blood." "He never came fully across, and so he became a hunter." "Yes, a hunter who pursues us now." "He pursues you to avenge his family." "Nicholas, I'm doing this for you." "Doing what?" "Arranging for him to meet our barber friend." "Your mistake." "I want none of this." "Isn't that what you said the last time?" "When I asked you to kill him for me?" "Oh, don't worry, Nicholas." "It's all taken care of." "By bringing me here before sunrise." "And by magic." "Mm!" "Fairy dust." "Just a sprinkle... but it's enough to rid us of someone who would destroy us." "Soybean residue." "Does it look familiar?" "You planted it at the murder scenes to get me to bring O'Neal to your creation." "Clever boy." "COHEN:" "A processing effluent?" "HELLMAN:" "Soybean dust." "Found at both murder sites and on the bodies." "I don't know how we missed it the first time." "Well, now that you've found it," "I'd be delighted to know what you think it means." "Well, forensics says the dust has a high water content, and pits that suggest it's several years old." "So wherever it came from hasn't been in operation for a while." "Good a place as any for a killer to go to ground." "Queen's Quay Mill has been closed for at least five years." "Well, then I'd like to take a look, ma'am." "Please, captain, just humor me." "[SIGHS] Have Knight or Inspector O'Neal reported in?" "Not yet." "SCHANKE:" "Hey, Lipinsky." "If I read Robinson his rights at the station, and not on the scene, do I need a 10-Q form?" "Yep."

"[CHUCKLES]" "Hellman, we're rolling." "Uh, hey, Schanke, wait a minute, will ya?" "Look, captain, I know this isn't my place, but I really think they should wait for Nick and Inspector O'Neal." "Natalie, we can handle a routine search on our own." "Can we go?" "LAMBERT:" "I would really feel a lot better if Nick were with them." "Like the man says, doctor, it's just routine."

"Yeah, but to break down those steel doors?" "Well, there are cases of children lifting cars off their parents." "This is a little extreme." "The extremes of madness, captain, and of evil." "Be glad that you can't make full sense of it." "That tells you that you're human." "I'd like to thank you all for your help." "Any time, inspector." "And, of course, my sincere condolences for the loss of Detective Hellman." "Our killer would still be out there on the streets if it wasn't for her." "That's a fine tribute." "Thank you, chief inspector." "I'm glad it's over." "And Dr. Lambert, we'll get your car reimbursement to you as soon as the report is filed." "I suggest you have Knight do it." "Tomorrow, captain."
