[ Continuing .]
PLEASE RESPOND.
WAIT.
EIGHTY-ONE KILO.
NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, NICK.
WE GOT ANOTHER ONE.
DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THE NIGHT CAN DO [ Tires Squealing .]
WHOA-HO GEEZ.
NATE AND I WORKED TOGETHER TEN YEARS.
- NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
- COUPLE MORE PICTURES.
LET ME GET IT.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicking .]
- [ Man .]
WHAT ARE YA DOIN'? COME ON, WHAT ARE YA DOIN'? COME ON, COME ON! GIMME THIS THING.
GIMME THIS THING.
THE ONLY WAY YOU GET A GOOD HEAD ANGLE IS IF YOU GET DOWN REAL LOW LIKE THIS.
THAT'S IT.
WORK WITH ME, BABY.
BEAUTIFUL! JUST LIKE THAT, OKAY? DON'T BE SQUEAMISH.
IT'S JUST A DEAD BODY.
WHAT KIND OF ENTRY? NOT SURE.
EVERYTHING WAS SECURE.
DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED.
ALARM WAS STILL ON.
THE GUY HAD TO FLY IN.
OR BE HERE ALREADY.
DID YOU SEARCH? GOT TEN GUYS ON IT NOW.
HOW LONG'S SCHANKE BEEN HERE? TEN MINUTES.
IT'S HARD TO MISS THAT COLOGNE.
WELL, WELL, WELL, MR.
KNIGHT.
AS PUNCTUAL AS USUAL.
THOUGHT YOU WERE WORKING THE POINT TONIGHT, SCHANKE.
WELL, I FIGURED YOU MIGHT NEED SOME EXPERIENCED HELP.
YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY.
FOUR MURDERS IN FOUR WEEKS.
NOW, FROM WHERE I STAND, YOU AIN'T BEEN DOIN' TOO GOOD, NICK.
- IS THERE ANY BLOOD LEFT IN THE BODY? - NOT MUCH.
- LOOKS LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.
- [ Sighs .]
EXCEPT ALL THE OTHERS WERE HOMELESS.
YOU BELIEVE THEY PUT A GUY LIKE THIS ON HOMICIDE? - FALLS APART WHEN HE SEES A LITTLE HEMOGLOBIN? - [ Sighs .]
DEDRICK, WHO FOUND THE BODY? [ Schanke .]
COME ON, GUYS.
LET'S HURRY IT UP.
IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT.
I WANT TO GO HOME AND SEE MY WIFE.
THIS DOESN'T BELONG IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE OTHER STELA.
IT'S PRE-CLASSIC, ISN'T IT? FROM THE TIKAL REGION.
FROM THE RIO AZUL REGION, TO BE PRECISE.
[ Scoffs .]
SOMEBODY TOLD YOU.
WHAT'S REALLY SCARY IS THE FIRST FOUR DIGITS UP THERE MATCH MY ALARM CODE.
YOU CAN READ IT? I'VE DONE A LITTLE GRAVE-ROBBING IN MY TIME.
THAT'S ILLEGAL.
ONLY IN THE LAST FORTY YEARS.
AS LONG AS YOU OR I HAVE BEEN ALIVE.
IN THIS INCARNATION, YEAH.
DO I KNOW YOU? I'M DETECTIVE KNIGHT.
I'M THE ONE ASSIGNED TO THIS MESS.
[ Sighs .]
ALYCE HUNTER, CURATOR AND ARCHAEOLOGIST RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS.
NOT THE BODY, I HOPE.
SORRY.
THAT WAS A BAD JOKE.
[ Chuckles Uneasily .]
YEAH, HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
YEAH, I'M SURE HE WAS.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE.
MISS HUNTER, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE HOMICIDE OCCURRED? OH, UH, I WAS WORKING IN MY OFFICE WHEN I HEARD THE CRASH.
THE GLASS CASE.
AT FIRST I THOUGHT ONE OF THE EXHIBITS HAD FALLEN, THEN I HEARD THE GUNSHOTS.
WAIT.
YOU HEARD GUNSHOTS? AND YOU WENT OUT ANYWAY? I'M A VERY CURIOUS WOMAN.
STUPID, MAYBE, BUT CURIOUS.
CURIOSITY IS THE BASIS OF ALL DISCOVERY, YOU KNOW? NATE WAS ALREADY DEAD WHEN I GOT THERE.
THE SUSPECT WAS GONE? I DON'T SEE HOW HE ESCAPED SO QUICKLY.
ESPECIALLY WHAT COULD HE WANT WITH HIS BLOOD? [ Police Chattering .]
WHERE'D YOU GET THE COFFEE? AT THE CONCESSION.
IS THE CONCESSION OPEN AT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT, LET'S CLEAN UP THIS MESS, AND, UH-- THESE ARE FROM ALTUN KINAL.
ACTUALLY, THESE ARE FROM AN ENTIRELY NEW SITE, SEVERAL MILES NORTH.
WE KEPT IT PRETTY QUIET.
A NEW SITE! A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME FIND.
YOU SAID THERE WAS AN ARTIFACT MISSING FROM THE DISPLAY CASE.
THAT'S RIGHT, A JADE GOBLET.
IT WAS USED IN SACRIFICIAL CEREMONIES.
WE UNEARTHED IT LAST YEAR.
DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF IT? [ Muttering .]
IT'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
YEAH.
IT WAS EXTREMELY RARE.
MAYBE THE ONLY ONE OF ITS TYPE IN EXISTENCE.
I DUG IT OUT MYSELF.
[ Sighs Deeply .]
YOU WEREN'T AFRAID OF THE CURSE? YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? YEAH, I TOLD YOU.
I WAS A GRAVE ROBBER.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CUP WAS USED FOR? IT WAS A PRACTICE UNIQUE TO THE AREA.
YES, OF COURSE.
IT WAS USED TO [ Sighs Sharply .]
DRINK THE SACRIFICED VICTIM'S BLOOD.
[ Chattering .]
IS THIS ANOTHER VAMPIRE MURDER? COME ON, YOU GUYS.
YOU'RE NOT CALLING IT THAT, ARE YOU? - WE HEAR THERE'S NO BLOOD IN THE CORPSE.
- WHY THE SUDDEN INTEREST? - 'CAUSE THIS GUY HAD A JOB? - THIS KILLER'S MURDERING MORE THAT JUST THE HOMELESS.
WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME AND WATCH DAVID LETTERMAN? I GOT WORK TO DO.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' ABOUT THIS? - OUR BEST PEOPLE ARE WORKIN' ON THIS CASE.
- ONE PERSON.
KNIGHT! - PEOPLE.
PLURAL.
WHEN WE GOT SOMETHING TO REPORT, WE'LL TELL YA, OKAY? [ Man .]
GIVE US SOME NAMES! SOME REGULAR GUY GETS IT, SUDDENLY IT'S NEWS.
YEAH.
DEMOGRAPHICS.
YOU GONNA STAY HERE FOR THE AUTOPSY? UH-HUH.
WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE STATION, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU, OKAY? - DRINK IT.
- WHAT IS IT? GRASSHOPPER EARS.
EYE OF NEWT.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU CARE? DRINK IT.
PRETTY SOON, I'LL HAVE YOU UP TO CHICKEN SOUP.
OHH! OH, GEEZ.
[ Gasping .]
DID YOU EVER NOTICE HOW YOU COULD TAKE THE SIMPLEST LITTLE ACTION, LIKE DRINKING A CUP OF TEA, AND YOU MAKE IT INTO A BIG, THEATRICAL PRODUCTION? IT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR TANNING COMING? I'M UP TO TEN MINUTES.
OH, MACHO MAN! HOW DO I LOOK? MMM, LIKE A BRONZE GOD.
WELL, THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.
ASIDE FROM HIS PROFESSION AND PERSONAL HYGIENE, BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
BLOOD LOSS IS THE SAME, RIGHT? YEAH, HE HAD HIS BLOOD PUMPED OUT, LIKE THE OTHERS.
WELL, SO HOW IS HE DIFFERENT FROM THE PATTERN? THE OTHERS WERE SHARP, CLEAN SLASHES, WEREN'T THEY? YEAH.
YOU'RE NOT HOLDING OUT ON ME, ARE YOU? [ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
[ Chattering .]
SO, IT'S 3:00 A.
M.
, RIGHT? I'M ON THE LINE TO THE MAYOR.
COME ON, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT.
YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT, YOU THINK HE'S UP WATCHIN' MTV? LISTEN, THE STAKES HAVE GONE UP HERE, MAN.
I WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT, AND I WORK ALONE.
THAT WAS THE DEAL.
NOT THIS TIME.
LISTEN, I GOT FOUR BLOODLESS BODIES SITTING IN THE MORGUE, AND NOTHING-- NOTHING TO GO ON.
THREE OF THE VICTIMS ARE HOMELESS.
AND THE GUY TONIGHT HAD A JOB.
THE VICTIM PROFILE IS EXPANDING.
THIS MANIAC COULD BE AFTER ANYBODY.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S WORSE? THAT MAYAN CUP THAT GOT STOLEN? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY USED THAT FOR? YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KEEP A LID ON THIS? WITH THIS VAMPIRE CRAP? LISTEN, NICK.
THIS CASE CAN'T BE YOURS ALONE.
YOU WANNA WORK AT NIGHTS, THAT'S FINE.
YOU WANNA WORK ALONE NIGHTS, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
ON THE MURPHY CASE.
THE HUDSON KILLING.
LISTEN.
YOU'RE SOLO ON THOSE.
THAT IS FINE WITH ME.
BUT THIS INVESTIGATION IS NOT GONNA STOP WHEN THE SUN COMES UP.
AM I GETTING THROUGH TO YOU? - SO WHO'S IT GONNA BE? - I WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOMEBODY WITH EXPERIENCE.
WHO? HE'S A DAY GUY NOW.
- [ Sighs .]
HIS NAME WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE-- - OH! WELL, HOWDY, PARTNER.
- SHOOT ME.
- COME ON.
NICK.
PUT IT AWAY.
[ Chuckling .]
TAKE HIM UP ON IT.
I'M ONLY HUMAN OF FLESH AND BLOOD I'M MADE HUMAN BORN TO MAKE MISTAKES SO MANY NIGHTS I LONGED TO HOLD YOU SO MANY TIMES I LOOKED AND SAW YOUR FACE NOTHING COULD CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL NO ONE ELSE COULD EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE I'M ONLY HUMAN OF FLESH AND BLOOD I'M MADE HUMAN BORN TO MAKE MISTAKES I AM JUST A MAN HUMAN [ Fades .]
[ Birds Chirping .]
[ Traffic Passing .]
[ Motor Rattling .]
[ Siren Wailing .]
[ Wailing Grows Louder .]
[ Dings .]
[ Woman .]
GOOD NIGHT.
BYE-BYE.
[ Chattering .]
[ Automobile Starting .]
UH, YOU GONNA BE ALL RIGHT HERE TONIGHT, DR.
HUNTER? HARRY, IF NOT, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW.
[ Exhaling .]
A THOUSAND MISTY STREETS OF BLUE SOME SILKEN MOMENT GOES ON FOREVER MYSTIFY, MYSTIFY ME [ Rewinding Rapidly .]
UH, THIS IS ALYCE HUNTER.
I'M GOING TO BE DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THAT JADE VESSEL TONIGHT.
LOOK, IF YOU WANT TO CALL OR DROP BY LATER, MAYBE I'LL HAVE SOMETHING MORE ON IT.
[ Beeps .]
[ Man .]
YOUR FAVORITE FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST WANTS YOU TO EAT SOMETHING THIS EVENING.
YOU NEED A JEWISH MOTHER.
I'VE ALREADY GOT ONE.
ETERNALLY WILD WITH THE POWER TO MAKE EVERY MOMENT COME ALIVE I WANT STARS TO SHINE UPON YOU WHERE TO KISS YOU EVERY NIGHT MYSTIFY MYSTIFY ME MYSTIFY [ Male Dispatcher On Radio .]
OH, I HATE THIS.
ARE YOU FINISHED YET? ALMOST.
WELL, HURRY UP.
HURRY UP.
TAKE YOUR TIME.
TAKE YOUR TIME.
OW! [ Grunting .]
ALL RIGHT.
SO WHAT FLAVOR AM I? AB-POSITIVE.
IS THAT GOOD? WELL, YOU CAN TAKE ANYTHING BUT MOTOR OIL.
[ Chuckles .]
MOTOR OIL.
I LIKE THAT.
MY WIFE, SHE'S A UNIVERSAL DONOR, I THINK.
TOO BAD.
HOW SO? WELL, ANYBODY CAN TAKE O-NEGATIVE.
BUT O-NEGATIVES CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING ELSE.
GOTTA BE "O"? POSITIVE? O-NEGATIVE.
WHAT'S THAT? GARLIC? GARLIC.
MY WIFE SAYS IT BUILDS HER BLOOD, BUT YOU GOTTA EAT IT RAW.
WATCH THIS, WATCH THIS.
HEY, PARTNER! [ Breathing .]
HOW ARE YA? OHH! WHAT, IS IT SOMETHING I SAID? IS IT MY BREATH? I'M ALLERGIC TO GARLIC.
OH, I'M SORRY.
SORRY.
[ Spraying .]
CAPTAIN WANTS US TO RIDE TOGETHER TONIGHT.
KIND OF SET THINGS UP.
CHEW THE FAT.
JACK WANTS US DOWN AT THE LAB.
IT'S JUST FOR ONE NIGHT.
THEN I'M BACK ON DAY SHIFTS.
HEY, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HIT THIS GUY UP FOR SOME BLOOD, HUH? [ Chuckles .]
PASS.
[ Horn Beeping .]
[ Man .]
HEY! DOWN HERE! LET'S GO.
OH, DID YOU HAVE A GOOD BREAKFAST? OH, I WENT A FEW ROUNDS WITH A HAMBURGER.
EXCELLENT.
LUCKY TO KEEP IT DOWN.
I HAD A CHEESEBURGER TOO, WITH LARGE FRIES AND A SHAKE.
AH, THESE NIGHT SHIFTS.
I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING BREAKFAST, BUT WHO CAN EAT HAM AND EGGS AT 7:30 AT NIGHT, RIGHT? [ Chuckles .]
HUH.
DON'T LOOK AT ME.
WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT OUT YOUR CIGARETTE? - WHAT DID YOU FIND? - SILK THREADS.
BLACK AND VERY OLD.
I FOUND THEM UNDER THE GUARD'S FINGERNAILS.
- I ALSO DISCOVERED AN ANOMALY-- - OH, AN ANOMALY, HUH? IN THE WAY THE MAN DIED.
ALL THE VICTIMS WERE ALIVE WHEN THE JUGULARS WERE SEVERED.
- THAT'S HOW THE BLOOD WAS PUMPED OUT.
- I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT.
NOW, EACH OF THE FIRST THREE VICTIMS SHOWED SIGNS OF STRANGULATION.
AND I BELIEVE WERE UNCONSCIOUS WHEN THE INCISION WAS MADE.
BUT THIS GUARD-- I MEAN, HIS EYES WEREN'T DILATED, HIS THORACIC REGION WAS ALL UNBRUISED-- I'LL BET DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS HE WAS FULLY CONSCIOUS WHEN HE WAS BEING EMPTIED.
- NO, I DON'T BUY THAT, JACK.
- UM, IT'S "DOCTOR.
" RIGHT, DOC.
UH, THE GUY WAS A GUARD.
HE HAD TO PUT UP A STRUGGLE.
YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT ONE WOULD NORMALLY THINK.
MAYBE HE WAS HYPNOTIZED.
MAYBE HE WAS, UH-- THAT'S IT.
MAYBE HE WAS A MEMBER OF SOME SORT OF CULT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF HISTORY.
BACK IN THE '60s, THEY HAD A LOT OF STRANGE CASES LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW, CULTS? AND THEY WERE ALWAYS SOLVED BY FINDING THE COMMON LINK.
NOW, WHAT ARE OUR COMMON LINKS? WE HAVE, UH, THE BLOOD MISSING.
THE HOMELESS.
THE GUARD WASN'T HOMELESS, "SKANKS".
MAYBE HE WAS KILLED BY ANOTHER GUY.
COPYCAT KILLINGS.
THEY DO HAPPEN.
OKAY, THAT'S STUPID.
BUT DON'T GO SLAMMING ANY DOORS.
I'VE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK.
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO EXPERIENCE HERE.
I KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK.
THIS THING IS NOT GONNA BE SOLVED WITH A LUCKY GUESS.
HEY, NOT IN MY CADDY, OKAY? WHY DON'T YOU DRIVE A NICE, CLEAN CITY CAR? A BOX THAT I CAN SMOKE IN.
WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE JOE COOL-- - TRUNK SPACE.
- TRUNK SPACE? YEAH, A 1959 CADILLAC HAD MORE TRUNK SPACE THAN ANY CAR BUILT IN THE LAST 30 YEARS.
TRUNK SPACE? WELL, I KNEW THAT.
AH, IT'S BETTER FOR ME ANYWAY.
MY WIFE'S TRIED 50,000 TIMES TO GET ME TO QUIT.
YOU REALIZE SHE HIDES THESE THINGS EVERY MORNING BEFORE SHE MAKES BREAKFAST? - HOW LONG YOU BEEN MARRIED? - SEVEN YEARS.
MAN, THAT MUST FEEL GOOD TO WAKE UP WITH A WOMAN EVERY MORNING.
THAT'S NO WOMAN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THAT'S MY WIFE.
NICOTINE IS AN ADDICTION, YOU KNOW? MAN, OH MAN, ADDICTIONS ARE HARD TO GIVE UP.
YEP.
WE ALL GOT OUR ADDICTIONS.
[ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
ATTENTION ALL UNITS IN THE VICINITY OF ECHO PARK.
SHOTS FIRED AT THE POOL.
SUSPECT IS ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
POSSIBLE HOSTAGE SITUATION.
ALL UNITS REPORT IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT ARE WE? WHAT ARE WE? EIGHTY-ONE KILO, WE'RE ON IT.
EIGHTY-ONE K.
OUR BACKUP'S THERE.
COME ON! HELP US, PLEASE! HE'S GOT OUR COACH! CALM DOWN.
IS HE ALONE? I DON'T KNOW.
HE HAS A MACHINE GUN.
HE STARTED THE FIRE.
HE'S CRAZY.
ONE MAN WITH AN AUTOMATIC.
SOUNDS LIKE DRUGS TO ME.
- WE'RE GOIN' IN! - HEY, KNIGHT! EXPERIENCE SAYS, PLAY THE EXITS.
THEN PLAY 'EM! - TAKE CARE OF THE COACH AND THE KIDS.
- KNIGHT, KNIGHT, KNIGHT! THE POLLS ARE ALREADY CLOSED, AND WE GOT SEVEN COMMENDATIONS LAST YEAR ALONE.
- YOU REALLY WANT THIS? - YEAH, I'M UP FOR PROMOTION NEXT WEEK.
YOU CALL IT.
[ Girl Screaming .]
SOMEBODY, PLEASE.
PLEASE! [ Whimpering .]
- I SAID SHUT UP! - [ Cop .]
OKAY, LET'S MAKE THIS EASY.
[ Grunts .]
[ Gunman .]
SHUT UP! SHUT UP! FORGET IT, COP! - [ Knight .]
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
- [ Hostage Screaming .]
LET ME GO! PUT IT AWAY, MAN, OR SHE'S DEAD! - [ Shells Ejecting .]
- [ Hostage Whimpering .]
- COME ON.
- [ Sobbing .]
PLEASE.
DON'T BE STUPID.
LET HER GO.
YOU BASTARD! [ Grunts .]
[ Growling .]
- WHAT THE-- - [ Snarling .]
[ Screaming .]
ARE YOU COVERED, KNIGHT? GEEZ.
[ Helicopter Whirring .]
KNIGHT! [ Screaming .]
WHAT KIND OF DRUGS ARE YOU ON ANYWAY, MAN? [ Laughing .]
[ Screaming .]
[ Helicopter Whirring .]
[ Alarm Bell Going Off .]
[ Helicopter Whirring .]
KNIGHT? KNIGHT? KNIGHT? OKAY, TOPPER, THAT'S IT.
LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.
WE GOT ENOUGH FOR ICE CREAM.
IF YOU AIN'T DRINKIN'.
OH, DRY AS A BONE.
OOH! YOU'RE GONNA STAY THAT WAY.
[ Metal Jingling .]
SORRY, MAN.
[ Dog Barking .]
HERE WE ARE.
[ Chuckling .]
MY FRIEND WOULD LIKE, UH-- SAME THING.
SAME THING GOES FOR ME.
DO YOU HAVE A QUARTER? HERE WE ARE.
YEAH.
DID YOU SEE THAT? AND HE'S AS SWEET AS HE LOOKS, TOO.
[ Indistinct .]
TOPPER, YOU WANT TO HAVE AN EXTRA BLANKET TONIGHT? IT MIGHT GET COLD.
- NO! NO! - [ Dog Barking .]
HEY, HERO.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL.
YEAH, RIGHT.
IT'S ONLY A SHOULDER WOUND.
LOST A LITTLE BLOOD.
- OKAY, OKAY.
SPEAK.
- THE PERP SAID IT WAS A FLYING MONSTER OR SOMETHING.
A VAMPIRE.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
VAMPIRE.
I SWEAR, THE PRESS HAS EVERYBODY IN THIS TOWN HALLUCINATING.
A VAMPIRE? PLEASE.
THE PERP HAD BEEN SMOKING CRACK FOR 72 HOURS.
HE WAS INCOHERENT.
DON'T SHOOT ME, I'M JUST THE MESSENGER.
YOU SAW KNIGHT GO AFTER HIM, RIGHT? WASN'T THAT WHAT I SAID? THEN IT HAD TO BE KNIGHT WHO GOT HIM! RIGHT? EXCUSE ME, SIR, BUT IF IT HAD TO BE KNIGHT, THEN WHERE THE HELL IS HE? [ Sighs Sharply .]
SMOKE.
[ Breathing, Heart Thumping .]
[ Alyce Reading .]
"THE BODIES OF THE INDIAN WORKERS "COULD BE FOUND THE NEXT MORNING, COMPLETELY DRAINED OF BLOOD.
" [ Sighs .]
[ Breathing .]
OH, GOD! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! [ Chuckles .]
HEY, WHOA, EASY.
YOU OKAY? YEAH, IT'S JUST AFTER LAST NIGHT, I'M A LITTLE JUMPY.
SOMETHING WRONG? NO! NO.
[ Scoffs .]
WHY ARE YOU WET? OH, I TOOK A DIP.
ALL IN A NIGHT'S WORK, YOU KNOW? WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR JACKET? ARE THOSE BULLET HOLES? UH, YEAH.
IT USED TO BELONG TO A DRUG DEALER.
HE GOT HIT BY AN UZI.
I'LL WEAR IT AS A KIND OF REMINDER.
- A REMINDER? - YEAH, OF MY MORTALITY.
A LITTLE LIGHT READING, HUH? [ Laughs .]
RESEARCH.
ALTUN KINAL.
AHEM.
THE FIRST DIG WAS ABANDONED BECAUSE THE INDIAN LABORERS WERE BEING KILLED AT NIGHT.
THEY BELIEVED IT WAS BY VAMPIRES.
SUCKED THEIR BLOOD.
[ Chuckles .]
YOU'RE KIDDING.
I KNOW.
IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE.
BUT APPARENTLY THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR A PAIR OF GOBLETS LIKE THE ONE WE HAD STOLEN.
SACRIFICIAL GOBLETS.
RIGHT, THEY FOUND ONE, BUT ABANDONED THE DIG BEFORE THEY COULD FIND THE OTHER.
DON'T YOU SEE, THE MURDERER MAY HAVE HAD ONE ALREADY AND STOLEN OURS TO MAKE THE PAIR? [ Scoffs .]
ARE YOU A DETECTIVE NOW, DOCTOR HUNTER? ALYCE, OFFICER KNIGHT.
NICK.
[ Chuckles .]
THEY SAY EVERYTHING IN OUR FUTURE CAN BE FOUND IN OUR PAST.
"PAST IS THE ONLY DEAD THING THAT SMELLS SWEET.
" - [ Both .]
EDWARD THOMAS! - [ Chuckling .]
DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY TOO, NICK? NO.
IT'S TOO EASY A PLACE TO HIDE.
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK I'M DOING? AREN'T YOU? I MEAN, YOU'RE BURYING YOUR HEAD IN BOOKS AND ARTIFACTS AND DUST.
YOU LOCK YOURSELF UP HERE AND WORK ALL NIGHT? - I LIKE THE NIGHT.
- NO PEOPLE.
NO PRESENT.
NO FUTURE.
IT'S MY LIFE.
MY PASSION.
I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
DON'T BE.
DWELL ON YESTERDAY, AND YOU HAVE NO TODAY AND NO TOMORROW.
ANOTHER QUOTE? THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.
[ Chuckling .]
YOU HAVEN'T LIVED THAT LONG.
I'M WORKIN' ON IT.
[ Sighing, Moaning .]
OH, GOD.
IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN YOU HOLD ME.
AND I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED TO DEATH BEFORE YOU CAME IN.
[ Groans .]
NICK? - DOCTOR HUNTER? - HARRY? YOU OKAY? I'M NOT SURE.
MAYBE-- NICK? [ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
WHERE'S NICK? I FIGURED HE'D SHOW UP HERE.
GIMME THE KEYS.
I FORGOT HOW THESE THINGS DRIVE, DOC.
I'M TALKIN' SMOOTH, LIKE A ROLLING CONDOMINIUM.
WHAT TIME'S SUNRISE? 5:45, 6:00.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING? [ Starting Engine .]
[ Sighs Deeply .]
YOU KNOW, YOU CREATE A LOT OF TENSION WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR LIKE THIS.
BRUNETTI STARTS TWITCHING-- YOU'VE GOT TO STOP DRINKING THIS.
OH.
IS THIS THE SAME GUY THAT CAME BEGGING TO ME TO HELP HIM CHANGE SO THAT HE COULD SEE A SUNRISE? WHY? I MEAN, I'VE BEEN DOIN' WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYIN' FOR MONTHS! SO I CAN CHOKE ON A BIT OF HAMBURGER? SEE A SUNRISE? I CAN'T EVEN SPEND TEN MINUTES IN A TANNING BED.
GIVE ME THE BOTTLE! NO! EVERYTHING I DO IS WASTED WHEN YOU DRINK THIS.
- IT'S THE BLOOD THAT KEEPS YOU FROM COMING OVER.
- I AM WHAT I AM.
AND I DON'T THINK BETTY FORD TAKES VAMPIRES.
YOU COULD BE HUMAN.
HUMAN? WHAT'S MORE HUMAN? TO DRINK A LITTLE ANIMAL BLOOD NOW AND THEN, OR COMMIT MURDER? NEITHER.
YOU BASTARD.
AND YOU DID BOTH.
DON'T YOU USE THAT ON ME.
I'M REPAYIN' MY DEBT! I CAUGHT A KILLER TONIGHT.
AND YOU COULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT HIM WITHOUT THE VAMPIRE? WHO CARES HOW I DID IT? YOU DO.
GET OUT! OH.
WELL.
THAT IS A MAJOR CHANGE IN ATTITUDE.
EXCUSE ME.
YOU DON'T WANT HELP.
I'M JUST A DOT ON THE HORIZON.
GO BACK TO YOUR TV SUNRISE.
I'LL GO CATCH THE REAL THING.
WILL YOU STOP? YOU KNOW, YOU COULD GO PUBLIC WITH THIS.
DO QUITE WELL.
"BLOODSUCKERS AS PUBLIC SERVANTS.
LIVE ON GERALDO.
" [ Phone Ringing .]
NO, HE'S PROBABLY ALREADY DONE IT.
[ Machine Beeping .]
[ Alyce .]
NICK, I'M SORRY TO KEEP CALLING, BUT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT, I THINK WE OUGHT TO TALK.
WILL YOU CALL ME, PLEASE? [ Line Clicking .]
[ Answering Machine Resetting .]
IS THAT THE CURATOR AT THE MUSEUM? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE ALL THESE YEARS AND WATCH THOSE YOU LOVE GROW OLD AND DIE, ONE BY ONE.
AND NEVER HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN.
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT? [ Scoffs .]
I KISSED HER.
AND? THEN I NEARLY KILLED HER.
NICK, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE OTHERS? [ Aria, Soprano .]
SO, IT WAS THIS LACROIX WHO WAS KILLING THE INDIANS AT ALTUN KINAL? YEAH, HE WANTED TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING THE OTHER GOBLET.
HE DID THEN, HE STILL DOES.
LACROIX WAS MY MASTER.
THE VAMPIRE THAT BROUGHT ME OVER.
IT'S LIKE A BROTHERHOOD.
WE HAVE THE SAME BLOOD IN OUR VEINS.
HE WANTS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
MMM.
MMM.
INCLUDING STEALING THIS FROM A MUSEUM AND KILLING A GUARD.
YEAH.
HE CAME IN THROUGH THE SKYLIGHT.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY IN.
I DID IT TONIGHT.
IT'S HIM.
MMM.
MMM.
[ Aria Continues .]
HE BELIEVES THAT BY DOING THIS CEREMONY, YOU CAN BECOME MORTAL.
WE BOTH DO.
TURN THE LIGHTS OUT WHEN YOU LEAVE, WILL YOU? I GOTTA GET SOME SLEEP.
WHAT ABOUT THE STREET PEOPLE? HE KILLED THE GUARD AT THE MUSEUM TO GET THE CUP, THE INDIANS TO HALT THE DIG, BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY HE'D BE KILLING THESE HOMELESS PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS OUR PREY.
NOBODY NOTICES, NOBODY CARES WHEN THEY'RE MISSING.
THAT NEVER BOTHERED LACROIX.
HE COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY I STOPPED KILLING.
SO HE FOLLOWS ME FROM CITY TO CITY AND FROM CENTURY TO CENTURY, OBSESSED WITH KEEPING ME IN THE DARKNESS.
[ Sighs .]
THESE MURDERS ARE HIS WAY OF CALLING ME OUT, JACK.
HIS WAY OF GETTING TO ME.
[ Aria Ends .]
[ Reading .]
"ADDING TO THE PROBLEM OF KEEPING THE INDIANS AT WORK WERE THE MYSTICAL PROPERTIES SAID TO BE POSSESSED BY THE GOBLETS THEMSELVES.
" "MANY EUROPEAN OCCULTISTS BELIEVE THAT THE MAYAN CEREMONY "WHERE THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICED VICTIM WAS POURED FROM GOBLET TO GOBLET "THEN SWALLOWED BY THE HIGH PRIEST, COULD IN FACT BE THE CURE FOR VAMPIRISM.
" "IT WAS ONLY NATURAL THAT THE INDIANS BELIEVED THERE WERE VAMPIRES IN THEIR MIDST.
" [ Children Chattering .]
ANYBODY SEEN JEANNIE AND TOPPER? GOT TWO BUCKS FOR 'EM.
[ Children Screaming .]
LOOK AT THAT! WHAT'S THE MATTER? [ Chattering .]
[ Siren Wailing .]
[ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
HE WAS HIT BY A BLUNT OBJECT ON THE HEAD.
PROBABLY KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS PRIOR TO THE JUGULAR INCISION.
ARE THERE TWO PUNCTURES THIS TIME? AN INCISION.
SINGULAR.
WHERE'S JEANNIE? SHE NEVER LET TOPPER ALONE.
DEDRICK! ANYTHING? NOTHING ON THE WEST SIDE.
WHO SAW HIM LAST? THE OLD MAN.
WHERE WAS HE? UP BY 6th STREET, AROUND NOON TIME YESTERDAY.
USUALLY FINDS SOMETHING TO EAT UP THERE, UP BY THE BURGER BARN.
WERE THEY TOGETHER? THEY'RE NEVER APART.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR THE BLOOD DRIVE.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THEY WERE COLLECTING BLOOD HERE TODAY? YEAH, THEY'RE HERE EVERY THURSDAY.
GIVE A LITTLE, GET A LITTLE.
DO SOMETHING TO HELP A SICK PERSON.
YOU HEAR THAT, KNIGHT? WHAT'S THE MATTER? JACK, I SHOULD HAVE PUT THEM UP.
WHAT, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT UP ALL THE STREET PEOPLE? THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! YOU GOTTA STOP BLAMING YOURSELF.
OKAY, BLOOD DRIVES, HOMELESS-- I THINK THERE'S A CONNECTION HERE, RIGHT? THEIR BLOOD'S MISSING.
EXCUSE ME, YOU WORK THE DAY SHIFT, RIGHT? WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT? WORK IT OUT IN YOUR OWN TIME! THEY ALL GAVE-- WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM? NO, I WANT TO KNOW.
I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO KNOW.
[ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
[ Rock .]
THE SUNBEAMS BLOWING THE MOON AWAY LIGHTS ME UP FULL ONE MORE DAY WHOA! NAME, PLEASE.
I'M NOT ON THE LIST.
WELL, THAT WON'T GET YOU IN.
THIS GUY-- [ Grunts .]
OKAY, THIS TIME.
[ Groans .]
[ Crowd Chuckles .]
[ Scoffs .]
WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT? THE SUNBEAMS BLOWING THE MOON AWAY DO I STILL CALL YOU JANETTE? IF YOU LIKE.
I'D HEARD YOU WERE IN TOWN.
THREE YEARS.
WASN'T IT CHICAGO BEFORE? WHERE'S TIME? THE DORIAN GRAY SYNDROME.
ALTHOUGH, IF I HAD KNOWN THEY WERE GONNA INSTALL LIGHTS AT WRIGLEY FIELD-- I HATE BASEBALL.
NOT A THING TO COME BETWEEN US.
POOR JEAN-PIERRE.
BLOWING THE MOON AWAY [ Speaking French .]
[ In English .]
THE LIGHT'S DARK.
I'M THE OWNER.
AND I FIND I CAN MIX IT WITH A LITTLE WINE.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME? DESIRE DESIRE [ Chanting .]
DESIRE THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE PROBABLY ON DUTY.
HE'S HERE.
I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME THIS TIME? NICKY SOMETHING? WHERE IS HE, JANETTE? HE HASN'T BEEN MAKING THESE KILLS, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.
NOWADAYS, NO ONE'S THAT STUPID.
WHERE? ALWAYS THE GENTLEMAN.
FILTHY HABIT.
AT LEAST I KNOW IT WON'T KILL ME.
I'D BE CAREFUL, IF I WERE YOU.
HE'S VERY DISAPPOINTED.
BLOWING THE MOON AWAY LIGHTS ME UP FULL ONE MORE DAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WE HAVE TO TALK.
ACTUALLY, I'M WITH SOMEONE.
GET BACK.
WHY ARE YOU STARING AT MY CHEST? - WHY ARE THEY STARING AT MY NECK? - WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I FOLLOWED YOU.
FROM THE PARK.
WHAT? I HEARD ABOUT THE MURDER, AND I FIGURED YOU'D BE THERE, SO-- GET OUT OF THE CAR.
NO! I'M ON POLICE BUSINESS.
NO, YOU WON'T.
I'LL RIDE SHOTGUN.
[ Horn Beeping .]
COME ON, MOVE IT, BUDDY.
GET OUT.
IT'S DANGEROUS.
THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH VAMPIRES, DOESN'T IT? [ Alyce .]
NICK, YOU GOT A SECRET YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH ME? TELL ME SOMETHING, DO YOU DO ALL YOUR READING IN SUPERMARKET CHECKOUT LINES? WELL? - WELL, WHAT? - I WENT THROUGH A PINT OF ICE CREAM, AND TWO BAGS OF CHIPS THE OTHER NIGHT, TRYING TO FIND THIS.
- IS THIS YOU? - YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE ME.
- EVEN THE SCAR ON YOUR CHEST IS THE SAME.
- THEN IT MUST BE ME.
IT WAS TAKEN IN 1889.
THEN IT MUST BE SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ME.
RIGHT.
WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE GOBLET, WHO CAN READ GLYPHS, WHO CAN DISAPPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUSEUM IN TEN SECONDS FLAT.
ARE YOU LOSING IT, OR WHAT? EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD'S GOT A DOUBLE.
MY UNCLE'S A DEAD RINGER FOR MORTON DOWNEY, JR.
WHILE THAT MAY MAKE HIM MISERABLE AT TIMES, IT DOES NOT MAKE HIM A VAMPIRE.
AM I MAKING A COMPLETE FOOL OF MYSELF? I GOT OUT OF THE MUSEUM THE SAME WAY THE MURDERER DID: THROUGH THE BACK ROOMS AND INTO THE BASEMENT.
GLYPHS AND THE GOBLET-- PURE N.
Y.
U.
GOD! AND I CALL MYSELF A SCIENTIST.
LEGENDS ARE SEDUCTIVE.
WE WANT TO BELIEVE THEM.
[ Chuckles .]
IT'S LIKE GOOD GOSSIP.
I DID WANT TO BELIEVE IT.
WHAT? THAT I WAS A VAMPIRE? WELL, THINK ABOUT IT.
HOW INCREDIBLE.
TO BE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST, A HISTORIAN, AND HAVE A LIVING, FIRST-HAND CONNECTION TO THE PAST.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN.
LIVING IN THE PAST.
I GUESS.
I-- [ Chuckles .]
ISN'T THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRESENT YOU LIKE? - NICK, ABOUT LAST NIGHT-- - HEY, THE CHEMISTRY JUST WENT A LITTLE, PSHH! YOU KNOW.
I WAS TALKING TOO MUCH.
HEY, IT'S HISTORY.
IT'S IN THE PAST.
OKAY? IT'S JUST YOU AND ME NOW.
AND THE CADDY.
[ Thumping Dashboard .]
YOU'RE GONNA LET ME STAY? WHERE'S YOUR CAR? BACK AT THE CLUB.
[ Sighs .]
NIGHT CRAWLER'S BRINGING YOU A LITTLE LEAD ON KTDE.
METAL, FOR THE AGES.
THREE WEEKS IN THIS TOWN, AND I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN MY OLD FRIEND.
[ Laughs .]
WHERE DID THEY DIG UP THIS GUY? [ Man On Radio .]
IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME.
WE HAVE A LOT TO CATCH UP ON.
[ Racking Tape .]
THIS NEXT SET IS DEDICATED TO YOU, JEAN-PIERRE.
THE NIGHT CRAWLER'S WAITING FOR YOU.
I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE.
WHERE ARE YOU? THEY SAY I'M CRAZY I REALLY DON'T CARE THAT'S MY PREROGATIVE [ Muffled .]
[ Continues .]
LISTEN TO ME.
KEEP IT TUNED TO THIS STATION.
IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING WEIRD, OR I'M NOT OUT IN 20 MINUTES, PICK UP THIS RADIO, SAY, "81-KILO NEEDS BACKUP," AT THIS ADDRESS.
WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER IF WE JUST CALLED THEM NOW? OR AT LEAST INTRODUCED ME TO THE PERSON I'LL BE TALKING TO? JUST STAY IN THE CAR.
OKAY? [ Buzzing .]
[ Door Closing .]
WELL, WE COULD TALK OVER A MIDNIGHT SNACK.
LACROIX.
WHERE IS IT? IS THAT ANY KIND OF A HELLO? [ Chuckles Bitterly .]
IT'S A LONG TIME, JEAN-PIERRE.
AFTER ALL THE TROUBLE I WENT THROUGH TO CLAIM YOU.
I GUESS IT WOULD BE MORE APPETIZING.
[ Heart Thumping .]
YOU LOOK PALE.
YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY? ALL I WANT IS THE GOBLET.
I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU NEVER HAVE.
IMMORTALITY? WASN'T THAT YOUR BIG WISH? TO LIVE FOREVER! NEVER HAVE TO WIND UP LIKE THIS.
[ Chuckling .]
I GAVE THAT TO YOU.
AND WHAT DID I GET? CONTEMPT.
HATRED.
AND DESERTION.
I COULDN'T KILL ANYMORE.
WHO HAS TO KILL? YOU DO.
[ Laughing .]
THE GUARD? YES.
BUT NOT THOSE PATHETIC OTHERS.
THIS IS THE 20th CENTURY.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE.
YOU'RE LYING.
IT'S THE TRUTH.
AND WHAT ARE WE? THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! WE NEED TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
WE SHOULD TRUST EACH OTHER.
HOW LONG IS THE LONGEST FRIENDSHIP? I WANT THE GOBLET! [ Sighs .]
THEN COME AND GET IT.
OOH, FEELING A LITTLE WEAK? PERHAPS YOU NEED AN IRON SUPPLEMENT.
[ Laughing .]
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO BE: A PATHETIC, COWERING MORTAL.
TASTE THE BLOOD ON YOUR FACE.
TASTE IT.
YOU CAN'T DENY WHAT YOU ARE.
[ Grunting, Screaming .]
YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET THE GOBLET.
YOU HAVEN'T THE COURAGE! [ Laughing .]
NO GUTS, NO GLORY, MAN.
YOU WANT MORTALITY? I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
BY FIRE.
A STAKE THROUGH THE HEART.
BY THE SUN.
AND ONE MORE, MY FRIEND: BY DECAPITATION.
[ Chuckling .]
WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE TO GET A RISE OUT OF YOU? ALYCE! GET OUT OF HERE! IS THIS SOMEONE I SHOULD MEET? HMM? [ Laughing, Screaming .]
[ Laughing Demonically .]
MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO BE MORTAL.
IT'S A SIMPLE CHOICE.
A CLASSIC.
WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO SAVE? THE GOBLET? OR THE GIRL? HMM? [ Chuckling .]
BASTARD! [ Both Screaming .]
[ Growling .]
[ Screaming .]
[ Sizzling .]
[ Exhaling .]
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT MEETING? [ Phone Ringing .]
HEY, AL.
WHAT? I NEED THOSE REPORTS.
I'LL GET 'EM.
YOU GOT IT.
DON'T MAKE ME LOOK BAD.
YES.
THIS IS ALYCE HUNTER.
IS DETECTIVE KNIGHT THERE? UH, KNIGHT? UH, NO, MA'AM, HE HASN'T CHECKED IN.
WELL, WHEN HE DOES CHECK IN, WOULD YOU TELL HIM ALYCE CALLED? YES, MA'AM, I WILL.
THANKS.
[ Exhales .]
YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN NICK OR TALKED TO HIM SINCE HE WALKED OUT OF THE PARK? I WAS ASLEEP, SIR.
YOU GUYS SURE PICK AN INTERESTING SPOT FOR A MEETING.
CAPTAIN, I BROUGHT BY THE REPOR ON THE PARK KILLING.
I THINK KNIGHT WAS WORKING ON THE LEAD.
I'M JUST PRAYING I CAN MAKE IT SOUND BETTER THAN THAT TO THE MAYOR, YOU KNOW? BLOOD DRIVES, BLOOD DRIVES.
WHAT WERE THE VICTIMS' BLOOD TYPES, DOCTOR? UH, YES.
EACH OF THE HOMELESS WERE TYPE O-NEGATIVE, BUT-- I'M TELLING YOU, THAT'S THE KEY.
THE TYPE "O," THE HOMELESS, THE BLOOD DRIVES.
WHAT ABOUT THE GUARD? - THE GUARD WAS TYPE "AB.
" - CAPTAIN.
TRAFFIC FOUND DETECTIVE KNIGHT'S CAR ILLEGALLY PARKED.
THEY IMPOUNDED IT.
HUH.
OKAY, WE GOT THE KEYS.
I'LL SEND SOMEBODY DOWN.
YES, SIR.
[ Dog Barking .]
[ Dispatcher On Radio, Indistinct .]
I'M TELLING YOU, NOBODY'S LISTENING.
NOBODY'S LISTENING TO ME! ALL OF A SUDDEN, KNIGHT'S THIS BIG EXPERIENCED HOTSHOT, AND HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE THE GUY.
HE LOOKS GOOD IN LEATHER.
BETWEEN YOU AND ME AND THE LAMPPOST, THE GUY IS IN THE DARK ABOUT A FEW THINGS.
IT'S A CULT THING.
IT'S GOTTA BE A CULT THING.
IT'S A WEIRD, WEIRD WORLD WE LIVE IN, MY FRIEND.
[ Engine Starts, Rumbles .]
OH, WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THAT BABY PURR? AW, THAT TAKES ME BACK TO 1973 IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
A BUDDY OF MINE HAD ONE.
WE USED TO CRUISE NORTH UP LAKESHORE DRIVE TO WAUKEGAN, KNOW WHAT I MEAN? [ Dispatcher On Radio .]
ANY WEST L.
A.
UNIT-- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
IS THAT IT, PAL? YEAH, THAT'S IT.
DISPATCH, 81 KILO.

SHE'S GORGEOUS FOR YOU.
I'LL HAVE YOU OVER FOR DINNER.
JUST LOOK AT HER.
SHE'S VERY PRETTY.
YOU'LL LOVE HER! I'M ON A RESTRICTED DIET.
HONESTLY.
YOU'RE MAKIN' A MISTAKE.
YOU'LL LOVE HER.
[ Phone Ringing .]
OOH, YOU'LL LOVE HER IF YOU SEE HER! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
YOU THINK THIS IS FAKE? I'M A COP.
YOU CAN'T GET ME ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER? NOT WITHOUT DR.
DANTLEY'S APPROVAL.
[ Bell Dinging .]
[ Beeps .]
[ Typing .]
I AM JUST TRYING TO MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS HERE.
COULD YOU AT LEAST TELL ME IF ANY OF THE VICTIMS DONATED BLOOD? DR.
DANTLEY WILL BE-- [ Both .]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, VERY MUCH.
FENNER, MY MAN, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL THIS WOMAN I'M A GOOD GUY? I DONATED SOME "AB" BLOOD THE OTHER DAY.

YEAH, RIGHT.
THANKS.
ARE THOSE OLD, UH, CADILLAC KEYS? YEAH, A '59 RAGTOP.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE '59 CADDY HAS MORE TRUNK SPACE THAN ANY CAR IN THE LAST 30 YEARS? REALLY? HOW'S THE MILEAGE? WITH A RIDE LIKE THAT WHO'S COUNTING, HUH? [ Both Laughing .]
COULD YOU GET DANTLEY ON THE PHONE FOR ME? WE'RE THIS CLOSE TO CATCHING THE MURDERER.
SORRY.
[ Touch-Tones Beeping .]
DR.
BRITTINGTON.
JACK, IT'S NICK.
NICK, WHERE ARE YOU? IT'S A LONG STORY.
WHO SAID SCHANKE COULD RIDE AROUND IN MY CAR? BRUNETTI.
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.
LISTEN, I'M RUNNING A CHECK IN THE BLOOD BANK.
GET THIS.
SCHANKE WAS RIGHT.
ALL THE HOMELESS VICTIMS WERE BLOOD DONORS, ALL NEGATIVE.
[ Keys Jingling .]
WHAT ABOUT LACROIX? WELL, HE JUST OFFED THE MUSEUM GUARD, BUT THE GUY THAT'S DOING THE KILLINGS IS STILL ON THE STREET.
HOLD ON.
DR.
DANTLEY, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
[ Woman On Intercom .]
DR.
WILLIS-- NAH, I BETTER GET A WARRANT.

MY RIDE'S LEAVING.
NO, WAIT, NICK, UH-- YOU SOUND WEAK.

PAPA, PAPA, PAPA-HOO SCHANKE, IF ONLY YOU KNEW.

YOU THINK I DID IT ON PURPOSE? AND WHEN YOU'RE FILLING OUT THE REPORT, SPELL THE NAME RIGHT! IT'S SCHANKE! S-C-H-A-N-K-E! COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
[ Dispatcher On Radio, Indistinct .]

YEAH, DETECTIVE KNIGHT, PLEASE.
SORRY, HE'S NOT HERE.
CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE? NO, THANKS.
I'LL CALL BACK.
[ Phone Ringing .]
HI, I'M EITHER IN BED OR INCOMMUNICADO, SO IF YOU WANNA LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NUMBER, JUST WAIT FOR THE BEEP.
[ Beeps .]
DR.
HUNTER? GUYS, GUYS, WE CAN'T PUT THAT HERE.

REAR PANEL, TOTALED.
FENDER, BUMPER AND THIS TRUNK! LOOK AT THIS! [ Grunts .]
[ Grunts .]
- THIS THING'S MUSHED SO TIGHT, WE'LL HAVE TO TORCH IT OPEN.
- YOU'RE EXAGGERATING, RIGHT? YOU FIND ME ANOTHER CADDY, MAYBE IN SOME JUNKYARD, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.
OTHERWISE YA GOT TWO TONS OF SCRAP METAL HERE.
OH, MAN.
OH, MAN.
OH, MAN, HE'S GONNA KILL ME! HE'S GONNA KILL ME.
WORSE, HE'S GONNA MAKE ME PAY FOR IT.
AAW! SCHANKE.
I'M DEAD.
HONEST TO GOD! I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE STATION, BUT THE HOSPITAL'S ON ITS WAY.
I SAID, WHY NOT? I MIGHT AS WELL-- THIS KILLS ME, KNIGHT.
IT KILLS ME MORE THAN YOU! - BRAKES FAILED? - ON THEIR OWN, I SWEAR! I'VE HAD FOUR POLICE DRIVING COURSES.
I KNOW HOW TO STOP A CAR.
THEY WERE CUT.
THEY WERE CUT? BY WHO? BY THE ONE WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
SEEMS YOU WERE RIGHT, SCHANKE.
I WAS RIGHT.
MUSEUM MURDERER WAS A DIFFERENT KILLER.
- HE WAS? - BLOOD DRIVES AND THE HOMELESS.
THEY WERE THE KEYS ALL ALONG.
WELL, I KNEW THAT.
I KNOW.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT ANGRY ABOUT THE CAR? NO, I AM MAD ABOUT THE CAR, BUT I GUESS I OWE AN APOLOGY, I GUESS.
- WHAT? - I SAID I GUESS I OWE YA AN APOLOGY ABOUT THE CASE.
[ Laughs .]
WELL, I ACCEPT IT.
GOOD.
[ Bangs On Car .]
[ Inhales .]
HEY, YOU OKAY? YOU LOOK LIKE DEATH WARMED OVER.
YOU ALL RIGHT? OH, MAN.
I'M JUST A BIT WEAK.
I'M HUNGRY, THAT'S ALL.
I GOT SOME JERKY.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
GET BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
HEY, LISTEN, JERKY'S NOT BAD FOR YOU.
IT-- IT-- IT SORT OF STIMULATES THE-- [ Beeping .]
[ Beeps .]
NICK? [ Knight .]
THE VICTIMS ARE ALL REGULAR BLOOD DONORS, O-NEGATIVE.
THEY ALL USE THE MOBILE UNITS.
[ Schanke .]
WHO TOLD YOU THAT? DR.
DANTLEY.
[ Laughs .]
OH, THE MYSTERY DR.
DANTLEY? ANY NEWS ON JEANNIE? NO, NOTHING.
LISTEN, BETWEEN YOU AND ME, WHAT WAS YOUR CAR DOING IN SOUTH PARK LAST NIGHT? ANYBODY REPORT ANYTHING WEIRD UP THERE THIS MORNING? NO.
WHY? ALYCE AND I HAD A LEAD ON THE STOLEN GOBLET.
WE WERE UP THERE-- [ Laughing .]
ALYCE? YOU WERE WITH ALYCE LAST NIGHT? LISTEN, NICK, BETWEEN YOU AND ME, IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH YOU AND ALYCE? COME ON.
DR.
HUNTER AND ME? YEAH.
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, I HAVE MY ANSWER.
I GOT MY ANSWER.
NICK? IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SCARE ME AGAIN, YOU'RE DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB.
OH.
[ Grunts .]
WHERE IS HE? WHERE-- WHERE-- WHERE'S NICK? [ Grunting .]
WHAT WE NEED IS THE ANSWERS TO A FEW QUESTIONS.
LIKE? LIKE WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE BLOOD DONOR RECORDS? OH, BLOOD BANK STAFF, PHYSICIANS, HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS.
OH, THAT NARROWS THE FIELD A BIT, DOESN'T IT? OKAY.
ANYBODY COME IN AND OUT OF HERE THIS AFTERNOON WHILE DETECTIVE SCHANKE WAS HERE? NO.
THERE WERE A FEW NURSES.
UH, DR.
SIMMONS POPPED THROUGH.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? HE'S HUNGRY.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.
I'M OKAY.
I'M ALL RIGHT.
YOU SURE? YEAH, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.
[ Sighs .]
OKAY.
NO, I THINK THE GUY WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A JANITOR OR AN ORDERLY.
SOMEONE THAT WEARS THEIR KEYS ON THEIR BELT.
KEYS.
LET ME CHECK MY LOGS.
YEAH, HAVE THEM RING THE BELL.
NO, PLEASE, JUST HURRY.
WHOO! IT'S COLD IN HERE.
AMBULANCE SHOULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE NOW.
NO.
NO HOSPITALS.
YOU NEED HELP.
HE'LL BE THERE.
WHO? HE WAS ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CADDY, BUT HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE KEYS? MY SECRET.
NO, NO, NO.
WE HAVE NO SECRETS.
JACK FENNER.
HE'S A WONDERFUL MAN.
YEAH, A REAL REGULAR GUY, NICK.
ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HIM THIS YEAR? - ANY KIND OF TRAUMA MIGHT HAVE PUT HIM OVER THE EDGE? - HE'S BEEN IN COUNSELING.
FOR WHAT? HE LOST HIS MOTHER.
HOW? CAR ACCIDENT.
WELL, NOT REALLY.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
SHE LOST A LOT OF BLOOD IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND NEEDED SEVERAL PINTS.
WE ALWAYS TEST OUR BLOOD, BUT I GUESS SOME OF THE BLOOD SHE RECEIVED WAS INFECTED WITH HEPATITIS.
THAT'S WHAT SHE DIED FROM? THE HEPATITIS? MR.
FENNER BLAMES HIMSELF FOR LETTING IT SLIP THROUGH.
I BET YOU SHE WAS O-NEGATIVE.
BET YA SHE WAS.
WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT? WELL, YOU SEE, O-NEGATIVE IS THE UNIVERSAL DONOR, BUT CAN ONLY RECEIVE O-NEGATIVE BLOOD.
SOME OF THE BLOOD CAME FROM STREET PEOPLE AND THE REGULARS THAT HE KNEW.
MAYBE HE MIGHT BLAME THEM AS WELL AS HIMSELF.
MAYBE HE'D SEE THAT THEY COULD NEVER DONATE AGAIN.
DETECTIVE KNIGHT.
I WANNA PUT OUT AN A.
P.
B.
[ Buzzing .]
I'LL BE WITH YOU.
I WON'T LEAVE UNTIL NICK GETS THERE.
[ Keys Jingling .]
AMBULANCE? TAKE THE ELEVATOR.
IT'S ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
[ Keys Jingling .]
HOLD ON, "SKANKS".
I WANNA CHECK MY MACHINE.
OH, COME ON.
MY WIFE'S GONNA KILL ME, NICK.
SHE'S-- LOOKIT, THEY GOT BAGELS.
GREAT.
I'M EITHER IN BED OR INCOMMUNICADO-- [ Touch-Tones Beeping .]
[ Cassette Tape Playing .]
[ Jack .]
WHERE ARE YOU? WILL YOU PLEASE CHECK IN? I'M GETTING NERVOUS.
IT'S HIM.
[ Beeps .]
NICK? NICK? ALYCE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? LOOKING FOR YOU.
WHERE ARE YOU? HOW DID YOU GET IN? THE MAYAN NUMBERS ON THE STELA.
HUH.
VERY CLEVER.
SOMEONE NAMED JEANNIE'S HERE.
SHE'S ALIVE! APPARENTLY THE GUY THAT BEAT HER UP LEFT HER FOR DEAD.
SHE KNOWS WHO'S DOING THE MURDERS.
DID YOU CALL AN AMBULANCE? YEAH, THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY NOW.
IF THE PARAMEDIC THINKS SHE'S STABLE, DON'T MOVE HER.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HANG ON.
THE GUY'S HERE NOW.
[ Buzzes .]
[ Keys Jingling .]
WHA-- WAIT A MINUTE.
WHERE'S YOUR STUFF? DON'T YOU HAVE A MEDIC PACK? [ Jeannie .]
NO! WHO ARE YOU? [ Groans .]

PUT A CALL OU AND MEET ME THERE.
WATCH IT! HEY, HOLD IT! HOLD-- HEY! YOU WANNA TELL ME HOW YOU'RE GONNA GET THERE? [ Breathing .]
[ Dispatcher .]
WELL, WE'VE BEEN LOOKIN' ALL OVER FOR HIM.
WHERE THE HELL IS KNIGHT? LISTEN, ALL HE SAID WAS MEET HIM AT HIS PLACE.

JEANNIE, WHERE'S ALYCE? CAN YOU MAKE IT TO THE ELEVATOR? - I THINK SO.
- GO.
[ Breathing Raspingly .]
ALYCE! [ Breathing Raspingly .]
CAN YOU WALK? I'M NOT SURE.
[ Roaring .]
[ Screaming .]
I THINK YOU GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO YOU.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
YOU KNOW, STEEL SPIKES CAN'T KILL A VAMPIRE.
BUT FIRE CAN.
[ Laughs .]
ISN'T IT TIME YOU CAME OUT? I DON'T THINK HE'LL COME THROUGH THE FIRE.
NICK.
- WE GET HIM TO THE OTHER SIDE.
LET YOU UNDER THE DOOR.
- YOU LOOK WEAK, JEAN-PIERRE.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FED? I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CHANGE.
DO YOU? NICK, FEED ON MY BLOOD.
[ Panting .]
NO! THAT'S A WONDERFUL OFFER, JEAN-PIERRE.
TAKE HER.
MAKE HER ONE OF US.
[ Panting .]
NO, I CAN'T.
IT COULD KILL YOU.
OR MAKE ME IMMORTAL.
NO, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
- I DO.
- LISTEN TO HER.
- TAKE ME.
- DO IT! [ Gasps .]
N-O-O-O! [ Roars.]
YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME AS A MORTAL? GO TO HELL! NOT BEFORE YOU! [ Screams .]

SHE WANTED TO LIVE FOREVER.
SO DID YOU.
IT'S VERY SEDUCTIVE, THE IDEA OF NEVER DYING.
NEVER BEING ABLE TO LOVE SOMEONE, IS THAT SEDUCTIVE? SHE HAD NO IDEA.
AH, ALYCE AND LACROIX, THEY'RE THE LUCKY ONES.
OH, YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.
IS THAT WHY YOU WANNA BECOME MORTAL, SO THAT YOU CAN DIE? OR DO YOU WANT THE EXPERIENCE OF LIVING AND LOVING LIKE A HUMAN BEING AGAIN? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'LL EVER HAPPEN.
GEE, AND I WAS SO CLOSE.
LISTEN, UH-- ARE THERE ANY OTHER OBJECTS OR RITUALS THAT MIGHT HELP? WELL, THERE'S A RUMOR THAT A GOBLET WAS SOLD INTO A PRIVATE COLLECTION.
WELL, KEEP LOOKING.
YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BRING ME OVER? I DON'T KNOW.
KEEP EATING.
WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL.
FANCY MEETING YOU GENTLEMEN HERE.
ALLOW ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE KEYS TO A 1959 CADILLAC IN CHERRY CONDITION.
LITTLE DID I KNOW, I HAVE A THIRD COUSIN IN THE AUTOBODY BUSINESS.
RELATIVES DO COME IN HANDY, PARTNER.
PARTNER? WELL, BRUNETTI THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YEAH.
AFTER ALL, I DID SAVE NICK, RIGHT, JACK? I MEAN, DOC.
ONE WAY TO PUT IT.
I PUT THE HOSPITAL THING TOGETHER.
THE BLOOD BANK STUFF.
MAJOR CONTRIBUTION.
MAJOR.
SO WHY DO I THINK SOMEBODY'S HOLDING OUT ON ME? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, OKAY.
I UNDERSTAND ABOUT FENNER.
HE THINKS HE KILLED JEANNIE.
SHE'S AB-NEGATIVE, SO HE DIDN'T DRAIN HER BLOOD.
I GOT THAT.
BUT WHAT ABOUT FENNER HIMSELF? WHAT ABOUT HIM? IF HE WAS THE GUY DRAINING THE BLOOD, THEN WHY WAS TWO PINTS MISSING FROM HIS BODY WHEN WE FOUND HIM? EVAPORATION? NO.
NO, NO, I DON'T BUY THAT.
ABSOLUTELY.
FROM THE HEAT OF THE FIRE.
OKAY, OKAY, I BUY THAT.
I BUY THAT.
THOSE CIGARETTES.
FASTEST WAY INTO A COFFIN, HUH, NICK? ONE OF 'EM, ANYWAY.
YOU GUYS ARE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE MY WIFE.
I AM TRYING TO QUIT.
I'M TRYING.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE WITH AN ADDICTION.
YOU DON'T.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CAR, HUH? THIRD COUSIN'S NAME IS RUDY.
RUDY SCHANKE.

DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THE NIGHT CAN DO [ Tires Squealing .]
WHOA-HO GEEZ.
NATE AND I WORKED TOGETHER TEN YEARS.
- NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
- COUPLE MORE PICTURES.
LET ME GET IT.
- [ Camera Shutter Clicking .]
- [ Man .]
WHAT ARE YA DOIN'? COME ON, WHAT ARE YA DOIN'? COME ON, COME ON! GIMME THIS THING.
GIMME THIS THING.
THE ONLY WAY YOU GET A GOOD HEAD ANGLE IS IF YOU GET DOWN REAL LOW LIKE THIS.
THAT'S IT.
WORK WITH ME, BABY.
BEAUTIFUL! JUST LIKE THAT, OKAY? DON'T BE SQUEAMISH.
IT'S JUST A DEAD BODY.
WHAT KIND OF ENTRY? NOT SURE.
EVERYTHING WAS SECURE.
DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED.
ALARM WAS STILL ON.
THE GUY HAD TO FLY IN.
OR BE HERE ALREADY.
DID YOU SEARCH? GOT TEN GUYS ON IT NOW.
HOW LONG'S SCHANKE BEEN HERE? TEN MINUTES.
IT'S HARD TO MISS THAT COLOGNE.
WELL, WELL, WELL, MR.
KNIGHT.
AS PUNCTUAL AS USUAL.
THOUGHT YOU WERE WORKING THE POINT TONIGHT, SCHANKE.
WELL, I FIGURED YOU MIGHT NEED SOME EXPERIENCED HELP.
YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY.
FOUR MURDERS IN FOUR WEEKS.
NOW, FROM WHERE I STAND, YOU AIN'T BEEN DOIN' TOO GOOD, NICK.
- IS THERE ANY BLOOD LEFT IN THE BODY? - NOT MUCH.
- LOOKS LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.
- [ Sighs .]
EXCEPT ALL THE OTHERS WERE HOMELESS.
YOU BELIEVE THEY PUT A GUY LIKE THIS ON HOMICIDE? - FALLS APART WHEN HE SEES A LITTLE HEMOGLOBIN? - [ Sighs .]
DEDRICK, WHO FOUND THE BODY? [ Schanke .]
COME ON, GUYS.
LET'S HURRY IT UP.
IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT.
I WANT TO GO HOME AND SEE MY WIFE.
THIS DOESN'T BELONG IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE OTHER STELA.
IT'S PRE-CLASSIC, ISN'T IT? FROM THE TIKAL REGION.
FROM THE RIO AZUL REGION, TO BE PRECISE.
[ Scoffs .]
SOMEBODY TOLD YOU.
WHAT'S REALLY SCARY IS THE FIRST FOUR DIGITS UP THERE MATCH MY ALARM CODE.
YOU CAN READ IT? I'VE DONE A LITTLE GRAVE-ROBBING IN MY TIME.
THAT'S ILLEGAL.
ONLY IN THE LAST FORTY YEARS.
AS LONG AS YOU OR I HAVE BEEN ALIVE.
IN THIS INCARNATION, YEAH.
DO I KNOW YOU? I'M DETECTIVE KNIGHT.
I'M THE ONE ASSIGNED TO THIS MESS.
[ Sighs .]
ALYCE HUNTER, CURATOR AND ARCHAEOLOGIST RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS.
NOT THE BODY, I HOPE.
SORRY.
THAT WAS A BAD JOKE.
[ Chuckles Uneasily .]
YEAH, HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
YEAH, I'M SURE HE WAS.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE.
MISS HUNTER, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE HOMICIDE OCCURRED? OH, UH, I WAS WORKING IN MY OFFICE WHEN I HEARD THE CRASH.
THE GLASS CASE.
AT FIRST I THOUGHT ONE OF THE EXHIBITS HAD FALLEN, THEN I HEARD THE GUNSHOTS.
WAIT.
YOU HEARD GUNSHOTS? AND YOU WENT OUT ANYWAY? I'M A VERY CURIOUS WOMAN.
STUPID, MAYBE, BUT CURIOUS.
CURIOSITY IS THE BASIS OF ALL DISCOVERY, YOU KNOW? NATE WAS ALREADY DEAD WHEN I GOT THERE.
THE SUSPECT WAS GONE? I DON'T SEE HOW HE ESCAPED SO QUICKLY.
ESPECIALLY WHAT COULD HE WANT WITH HIS BLOOD? [ Police Chattering .]
WHERE'D YOU GET THE COFFEE? AT THE CONCESSION.
IS THE CONCESSION OPEN AT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT, LET'S CLEAN UP THIS MESS, AND, UH-- THESE ARE FROM ALTUN KINAL.
ACTUALLY, THESE ARE FROM AN ENTIRELY NEW SITE, SEVERAL MILES NORTH.
WE KEPT IT PRETTY QUIET.
A NEW SITE! A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME FIND.
YOU SAID THERE WAS AN ARTIFACT MISSING FROM THE DISPLAY CASE.
THAT'S RIGHT, A JADE GOBLET.
IT WAS USED IN SACRIFICIAL CEREMONIES.
WE UNEARTHED IT LAST YEAR.
DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF IT? [ Muttering .]
IT'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE.
YEAH.
IT WAS EXTREMELY RARE.
MAYBE THE ONLY ONE OF ITS TYPE IN EXISTENCE.
I DUG IT OUT MYSELF.
[ Sighs Deeply .]
YOU WEREN'T AFRAID OF THE CURSE? YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? YEAH, I TOLD YOU.
I WAS A GRAVE ROBBER.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CUP WAS USED FOR? IT WAS A PRACTICE UNIQUE TO THE AREA.
YES, OF COURSE.
IT WAS USED TO [ Sighs Sharply .]
DRINK THE SACRIFICED VICTIM'S BLOOD.
[ Chattering .]
IS THIS ANOTHER VAMPIRE MURDER? COME ON, YOU GUYS.
YOU'RE NOT CALLING IT THAT, ARE YOU? - WE HEAR THERE'S NO BLOOD IN THE CORPSE.
- WHY THE SUDDEN INTEREST? - 'CAUSE THIS GUY HAD A JOB? - THIS KILLER'S MURDERING MORE THAT JUST THE HOMELESS.
WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME AND WATCH DAVID LETTERMAN? I GOT WORK TO DO.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' ABOUT THIS? - OUR BEST PEOPLE ARE WORKIN' ON THIS CASE.
- ONE PERSON.
KNIGHT! - PEOPLE.
PLURAL.
WHEN WE GOT SOMETHING TO REPORT, WE'LL TELL YA, OKAY? [ Man .]
GIVE US SOME NAMES! SOME REGULAR GUY GETS IT, SUDDENLY IT'S NEWS.
YEAH.
DEMOGRAPHICS.
YOU GONNA STAY HERE FOR THE AUTOPSY? UH-HUH.
WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE STATION, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU, OKAY? - DRINK IT.
- WHAT IS IT? GRASSHOPPER EARS.
EYE OF NEWT.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU CARE? DRINK IT.
PRETTY SOON, I'LL HAVE YOU UP TO CHICKEN SOUP.
OHH! OH, GEEZ.
[ Gasping .]
DID YOU EVER NOTICE HOW YOU COULD TAKE THE SIMPLEST LITTLE ACTION, LIKE DRINKING A CUP OF TEA, AND YOU MAKE IT INTO A BIG, THEATRICAL PRODUCTION? IT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
YEAH.
HOW'S YOUR TANNING COMING? I'M UP TO TEN MINUTES.
OH, MACHO MAN! HOW DO I LOOK? MMM, LIKE A BRONZE GOD.
WELL, THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.
ASIDE FROM HIS PROFESSION AND PERSONAL HYGIENE, BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.
BLOOD LOSS IS THE SAME, RIGHT? YEAH, HE HAD HIS BLOOD PUMPED OUT, LIKE THE OTHERS.
WELL, SO HOW IS HE DIFFERENT FROM THE PATTERN? THE OTHERS WERE SHARP, CLEAN SLASHES, WEREN'T THEY? YEAH.
YOU'RE NOT HOLDING OUT ON ME, ARE YOU? [ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
[ Chattering .]
SO, IT'S 3:00 A.
M.
, RIGHT? I'M ON THE LINE TO THE MAYOR.
COME ON, WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT.
YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT, YOU THINK HE'S UP WATCHIN' MTV? LISTEN, THE STAKES HAVE GONE UP HERE, MAN.
I WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT, AND I WORK ALONE.
THAT WAS THE DEAL.
NOT THIS TIME.
LISTEN, I GOT FOUR BLOODLESS BODIES SITTING IN THE MORGUE, AND NOTHING-- NOTHING TO GO ON.
THREE OF THE VICTIMS ARE HOMELESS.
AND THE GUY TONIGHT HAD A JOB.
THE VICTIM PROFILE IS EXPANDING.
THIS MANIAC COULD BE AFTER ANYBODY.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S WORSE? THAT MAYAN CUP THAT GOT STOLEN? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY USED THAT FOR? YEAH, I KNOW.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KEEP A LID ON THIS? WITH THIS VAMPIRE CRAP? LISTEN, NICK.
THIS CASE CAN'T BE YOURS ALONE.
YOU WANNA WORK AT NIGHTS, THAT'S FINE.
YOU WANNA WORK ALONE NIGHTS, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
ON THE MURPHY CASE.
THE HUDSON KILLING.
LISTEN.
YOU'RE SOLO ON THOSE.
THAT IS FINE WITH ME.
BUT THIS INVESTIGATION IS NOT GONNA STOP WHEN THE SUN COMES UP.
AM I GETTING THROUGH TO YOU? - SO WHO'S IT GONNA BE? - I WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOMEBODY WITH EXPERIENCE.
WHO? HE'S A DAY GUY NOW.
- [ Sighs .]
HIS NAME WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE-- - OH! WELL, HOWDY, PARTNER.
- SHOOT ME.
- COME ON.

ALL RIGHT.
SO WHAT FLAVOR AM I? AB-POSITIVE.
IS THAT GOOD? WELL, YOU CAN TAKE ANYTHING BUT MOTOR OIL.

MOTOR OIL.
I LIKE THAT.

TOO BAD.
HOW SO? WELL, ANYBODY CAN TAKE O-NEGATIVE.
BUT O-NEGATIVES CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING ELSE.
GOTTA BE "O"? POSITIVE? O-NEGATIVE.
WHAT'S THAT? GARLIC? GARLIC.
MY WIFE SAYS IT BUILDS HER BLOOD, BUT YOU GOTTA EAT IT RAW.
WATCH THIS, WATCH THIS.
HEY, PARTNER! [ Breathing .]
HOW ARE YA? OHH! WHAT, IS IT SOMETHING I SAID? IS IT MY BREATH? I'M ALLERGIC TO GARLIC.
OH, I'M SORRY.
SORRY.

CAPTAIN WANTS US TO RIDE TOGETHER TONIGHT.
KIND OF SET THINGS UP.
CHEW THE FAT.

HEY, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HIT THIS GUY UP FOR SOME BLOOD, HUH? [ Chuckles .]
PASS.
[ Horn Beeping .]
[ Man .]
HEY! DOWN HERE! LET'S GO.
OH, DID YOU HAVE A GOOD BREAKFAST? OH, I WENT A FEW ROUNDS WITH A HAMBURGER.
EXCELLENT.
LUCKY TO KEEP IT DOWN.
I HAD A CHEESEBURGER TOO, WITH LARGE FRIES AND A SHAKE.
AH, THESE NIGHT SHIFTS.
I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING BREAKFAST, BUT WHO CAN EAT HAM AND EGGS AT 7:30 AT NIGHT, RIGHT? [ Chuckles .]
HUH.
DON'T LOOK AT ME.
WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT OUT YOUR CIGARETTE? - WHAT DID YOU FIND? - SILK THREADS.
BLACK AND VERY OLD.
I FOUND THEM UNDER THE GUARD'S FINGERNAILS.
- I ALSO DISCOVERED AN ANOMALY-- - OH, AN ANOMALY, HUH? IN THE WAY THE MAN DIED.
ALL THE VICTIMS WERE ALIVE WHEN THE JUGULARS WERE SEVERED.
- THAT'S HOW THE BLOOD WAS PUMPED OUT.
- I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT.
NOW, EACH OF THE FIRST THREE VICTIMS SHOWED SIGNS OF STRANGULATION.
AND I BELIEVE WERE UNCONSCIOUS WHEN THE INCISION WAS MADE.
BUT THIS GUARD-- I MEAN, HIS EYES WEREN'T DILATED, HIS THORACIC REGION WAS ALL UNBRUISED-- I'LL BET DOLLARS TO DOUGHNUTS HE WAS FULLY CONSCIOUS WHEN HE WAS BEING EMPTIED.
- NO, I DON'T BUY THAT, JACK.
- UM, IT'S "DOCTOR.
" RIGHT, DOC.
UH, THE GUY WAS A GUARD.
HE HAD TO PUT UP A STRUGGLE.
YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT ONE WOULD NORMALLY THINK.
MAYBE HE WAS HYPNOTIZED.
MAYBE HE WAS, UH-- THAT'S IT.
MAYBE HE WAS A MEMBER OF SOME SORT OF CULT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF HISTORY.
BACK IN THE '60s, THEY HAD A LOT OF STRANGE CASES LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW, CULTS? AND THEY WERE ALWAYS SOLVED BY FINDING THE COMMON LINK.
NOW, WHAT ARE OUR COMMON LINKS? WE HAVE, UH, THE BLOOD MISSING.
THE HOMELESS.
THE GUARD WASN'T HOMELESS, "SKANKS".
MAYBE HE WAS KILLED BY ANOTHER GUY.
COPYCAT KILLINGS.
THEY DO HAPPEN.
OKAY, THAT'S STUPID.
BUT DON'T GO SLAMMING ANY DOORS.
I'VE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK.
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO EXPERIENCE HERE.
I KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK.
THIS THING IS NOT GONNA BE SOLVED WITH A LUCKY GUESS.
HEY, NOT IN MY CADDY, OKAY? WHY DON'T YOU DRIVE A NICE, CLEAN CITY CAR? A BOX THAT I CAN SMOKE IN.
WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE JOE COOL-- - TRUNK SPACE.
- TRUNK SPACE? YEAH, A 1959 CADILLAC HAD MORE TRUNK SPACE THAN ANY CAR BUILT IN THE LAST 30 YEARS.
TRUNK SPACE? WELL, I KNEW THAT.
AH, IT'S BETTER FOR ME ANYWAY.
MY WIFE'S TRIED 50,000 TIMES TO GET ME TO QUIT.
YOU REALIZE SHE HIDES THESE THINGS EVERY MORNING BEFORE SHE MAKES BREAKFAST? - HOW LONG YOU BEEN MARRIED? - SEVEN YEARS.
MAN, THAT MUST FEEL GOOD TO WAKE UP WITH A WOMAN EVERY MORNING.
THAT'S NO WOMAN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THAT'S MY WIFE.
NICOTINE IS AN ADDICTION, YOU KNOW? MAN, OH MAN, ADDICTIONS ARE HARD TO GIVE UP.
YEP.
WE ALL GOT OUR ADDICTIONS.

IS HE ALONE? I DON'T KNOW.
HE HAS A MACHINE GUN.
HE STARTED THE FIRE.
HE'S CRAZY.

SOUNDS LIKE DRUGS TO ME.
- WE'RE GOIN' IN! - HEY, KNIGHT! EXPERIENCE SAYS, PLAY THE EXITS.
THEN PLAY 'EM! - TAKE CARE OF THE COACH AND THE KIDS.
- KNIGHT, KNIGHT, KNIGHT! THE POLLS ARE ALREADY CLOSED, AND WE GOT SEVEN COMMENDATIONS LAST YEAR ALONE.
- YOU REALLY WANT THIS? - YEAH, I'M UP FOR PROMOTION NEXT WEEK.
YOU CALL IT.

PLEASE.
DON'T BE STUPID.

ARE YOU COVERED, KNIGHT? GEEZ.

LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.
WE GOT ENOUGH FOR ICE CREAM.
IF YOU AIN'T DRINKIN'.
OH, DRY AS A BONE.
OOH! YOU'RE GONNA STAY THAT WAY.
[ Metal Jingling .]
SORRY, MAN.
[ Dog Barking .]
HERE WE ARE.
[ Chuckling .]
MY FRIEND WOULD LIKE, UH-- SAME THING.
SAME THING GOES FOR ME.
DO YOU HAVE A QUARTER? HERE WE ARE.
YEAH.
DID YOU SEE THAT? AND HE'S AS SWEET AS HE LOOKS, TOO.
[ Indistinct .]
TOPPER, YOU WANT TO HAVE AN EXTRA BLANKET TONIGHT? IT MIGHT GET COLD.
- NO! NO! - [ Dog Barking .]
HEY, HERO.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL.
YEAH, RIGHT.
IT'S ONLY A SHOULDER WOUND.
LOST A LITTLE BLOOD.
- OKAY, OKAY.
SPEAK.
- THE PERP SAID IT WAS A FLYING MONSTER OR SOMETHING.
A VAMPIRE.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
VAMPIRE.
I SWEAR, THE PRESS HAS EVERYBODY IN THIS TOWN HALLUCINATING.
A VAMPIRE? PLEASE.
THE PERP HAD BEEN SMOKING CRACK FOR 72 HOURS.
HE WAS INCOHERENT.
DON'T SHOOT ME, I'M JUST THE MESSENGER.
YOU SAW KNIGHT GO AFTER HIM, RIGHT? WASN'T THAT WHAT I SAID? THEN IT HAD TO BE KNIGHT WHO GOT HIM! RIGHT? EXCUSE ME, SIR, BUT IF IT HAD TO BE KNIGHT, THEN WHERE THE HELL IS HE? [ Sighs Sharply .]
SMOKE.
[ Breathing, Heart Thumping .]
[ Alyce Reading .]
"THE BODIES OF THE INDIAN WORKERS "COULD BE FOUND THE NEXT MORNING, COMPLETELY DRAINED OF BLOOD.
" [ Sighs .]
[ Breathing .]
OH, GOD! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! [ Chuckles .]
HEY, WHOA, EASY.
YOU OKAY? YEAH, IT'S JUST AFTER LAST NIGHT, I'M A LITTLE JUMPY.
SOMETHING WRONG? NO! NO.
[ Scoffs .]
WHY ARE YOU WET? OH, I TOOK A DIP.
ALL IN A NIGHT'S WORK, YOU KNOW? WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR JACKET? ARE THOSE BULLET HOLES? UH, YEAH.
IT USED TO BELONG TO A DRUG DEALER.
HE GOT HIT BY AN UZI.
I'LL WEAR IT AS A KIND OF REMINDER.
- A REMINDER? - YEAH, OF MY MORTALITY.
A LITTLE LIGHT READING, HUH? [ Laughs .]
RESEARCH.
ALTUN KINAL.
AHEM.
THE FIRST DIG WAS ABANDONED BECAUSE THE INDIAN LABORERS WERE BEING KILLED AT NIGHT.
THEY BELIEVED IT WAS BY VAMPIRES.
SUCKED THEIR BLOOD.
[ Chuckles .]
YOU'RE KIDDING.
I KNOW.
IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE.
BUT APPARENTLY THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR A PAIR OF GOBLETS LIKE THE ONE WE HAD STOLEN.
SACRIFICIAL GOBLETS.
RIGHT, THEY FOUND ONE, BUT ABANDONED THE DIG BEFORE THEY COULD FIND THE OTHER.
DON'T YOU SEE, THE MURDERER MAY HAVE HAD ONE ALREADY AND STOLEN OURS TO MAKE THE PAIR? [ Scoffs .]
ARE YOU A DETECTIVE NOW, DOCTOR HUNTER? ALYCE, OFFICER KNIGHT.
NICK.
[ Chuckles .]
THEY SAY EVERYTHING IN OUR FUTURE CAN BE FOUND IN OUR PAST.
"PAST IS THE ONLY DEAD THING THAT SMELLS SWEET.
" - [ Both .]
EDWARD THOMAS! - [ Chuckling .]
DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY TOO, NICK? NO.
IT'S TOO EASY A PLACE TO HIDE.
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK I'M DOING? AREN'T YOU? I MEAN, YOU'RE BURYING YOUR HEAD IN BOOKS AND ARTIFACTS AND DUST.
YOU LOCK YOURSELF UP HERE AND WORK ALL NIGHT? - I LIKE THE NIGHT.
- NO PEOPLE.
NO PRESENT.
NO FUTURE.
IT'S MY LIFE.
MY PASSION.
I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
DON'T BE.
DWELL ON YESTERDAY, AND YOU HAVE NO TODAY AND NO TOMORROW.
ANOTHER QUOTE? THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE.
[ Chuckling .]
YOU HAVEN'T LIVED THAT LONG.
I'M WORKIN' ON IT.
[ Sighing, Moaning .]
OH, GOD.
IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN YOU HOLD ME.
AND I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED TO DEATH BEFORE YOU CAME IN.
[ Groans .]
NICK? - DOCTOR HUNTER? - HARRY? YOU OKAY? I'M NOT SURE.
MAYBE-- NICK? [ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
WHERE'S NICK? I FIGURED HE'D SHOW UP HERE.
GIMME THE KEYS.
I FORGOT HOW THESE THINGS DRIVE, DOC.
I'M TALKIN' SMOOTH, LIKE A ROLLING CONDOMINIUM.
WHAT TIME'S SUNRISE? 5:45, 6:00.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING? [ Starting Engine .]
[ Sighs Deeply .]
YOU KNOW, YOU CREATE A LOT OF TENSION WHEN YOU DISAPPEAR LIKE THIS.
BRUNETTI STARTS TWITCHING-- YOU'VE GOT TO STOP DRINKING THIS.
OH.
IS THIS THE SAME GUY THAT CAME BEGGING TO ME TO HELP HIM CHANGE SO THAT HE COULD SEE A SUNRISE? WHY? I MEAN, I'VE BEEN DOIN' WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYIN' FOR MONTHS! SO I CAN CHOKE ON A BIT OF HAMBURGER? SEE A SUNRISE? I CAN'T EVEN SPEND TEN MINUTES IN A TANNING BED.
GIVE ME THE BOTTLE! NO! EVERYTHING I DO IS WASTED WHEN YOU DRINK THIS.
- IT'S THE BLOOD THAT KEEPS YOU FROM COMING OVER.
- I AM WHAT I AM.
AND I DON'T THINK BETTY FORD TAKES VAMPIRES.
YOU COULD BE HUMAN.
HUMAN? WHAT'S MORE HUMAN? TO DRINK A LITTLE ANIMAL BLOOD NOW AND THEN, OR COMMIT MURDER? NEITHER.
YOU BASTARD.
AND YOU DID BOTH.
DON'T YOU USE THAT ON ME.
I'M REPAYIN' MY DEBT! I CAUGHT A KILLER TONIGHT.
AND YOU COULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT HIM WITHOUT THE VAMPIRE? WHO CARES HOW I DID IT? YOU DO.
GET OUT! OH.
WELL.
THAT IS A MAJOR CHANGE IN ATTITUDE.
EXCUSE ME.
YOU DON'T WANT HELP.
I'M JUST A DOT ON THE HORIZON.
GO BACK TO YOUR TV SUNRISE.
I'LL GO CATCH THE REAL THING.
WILL YOU STOP? YOU KNOW, YOU COULD GO PUBLIC WITH THIS.
DO QUITE WELL.
"BLOODSUCKERS AS PUBLIC SERVANTS.
LIVE ON GERALDO.
" [ Phone Ringing .]
NO, HE'S PROBABLY ALREADY DONE IT.
[ Machine Beeping .]
[ Alyce .]
NICK, I'M SORRY TO KEEP CALLING, BUT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TONIGHT, I THINK WE OUGHT TO TALK.
WILL YOU CALL ME, PLEASE? [ Line Clicking .]
[ Answering Machine Resetting .]
IS THAT THE CURATOR AT THE MUSEUM? YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE ALL THESE YEARS AND WATCH THOSE YOU LOVE GROW OLD AND DIE, ONE BY ONE.
AND NEVER HAVE A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN.
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT? [ Scoffs .]
I KISSED HER.
AND? THEN I NEARLY KILLED HER.
NICK, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE OTHERS? [ Aria, Soprano .]
SO, IT WAS THIS LACROIX WHO WAS KILLING THE INDIANS AT ALTUN KINAL? YEAH, HE WANTED TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING THE OTHER GOBLET.
HE DID THEN, HE STILL DOES.
LACROIX WAS MY MASTER.
THE VAMPIRE THAT BROUGHT ME OVER.
IT'S LIKE A BROTHERHOOD.
WE HAVE THE SAME BLOOD IN OUR VEINS.
HE WANTS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
MMM.
MMM.
INCLUDING STEALING THIS FROM A MUSEUM AND KILLING A GUARD.
YEAH.
HE CAME IN THROUGH THE SKYLIGHT.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY IN.
I DID IT TONIGHT.
IT'S HIM.
MMM.
MMM.
[ Aria Continues .]
HE BELIEVES THAT BY DOING THIS CEREMONY, YOU CAN BECOME MORTAL.
WE BOTH DO.
TURN THE LIGHTS OUT WHEN YOU LEAVE, WILL YOU? I GOTTA GET SOME SLEEP.
WHAT ABOUT THE STREET PEOPLE? HE KILLED THE GUARD AT THE MUSEUM TO GET THE CUP, THE INDIANS TO HALT THE DIG, BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY HE'D BE KILLING THESE HOMELESS PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS OUR PREY.
NOBODY NOTICES, NOBODY CARES WHEN THEY'RE MISSING.
THAT NEVER BOTHERED LACROIX.
HE COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY I STOPPED KILLING.
SO HE FOLLOWS ME FROM CITY TO CITY AND FROM CENTURY TO CENTURY, OBSESSED WITH KEEPING ME IN THE DARKNESS.
[ Sighs .]
THESE MURDERS ARE HIS WAY OF CALLING ME OUT, JACK.
HIS WAY OF GETTING TO ME.
[ Aria Ends .]

"ADDING TO THE PROBLEM OF KEEPING THE INDIANS AT WORK WERE THE MYSTICAL PROPERTIES SAID TO BE POSSESSED BY THE GOBLETS THEMSELVES.
" "MANY EUROPEAN OCCULTISTS BELIEVE THAT THE MAYAN CEREMONY "WHERE THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICED VICTIM WAS POURED FROM GOBLET TO GOBLET "THEN SWALLOWED BY THE HIGH PRIEST, COULD IN FACT BE THE CURE FOR VAMPIRISM.

[ Siren Wailing .]
[ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]
HE WAS HIT BY A BLUNT OBJECT ON THE HEAD.
PROBABLY KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS PRIOR TO THE JUGULAR INCISION.
ARE THERE TWO PUNCTURES THIS TIME? AN INCISION.
SINGULAR.
WHERE'S JEANNIE? SHE NEVER LET TOPPER ALONE.
DEDRICK! ANYTHING? NOTHING ON THE WEST SIDE.
WHO SAW HIM LAST? THE OLD MAN.
WHERE WAS HE? UP BY 6th STREET, AROUND NOON TIME YESTERDAY.
USUALLY FINDS SOMETHING TO EAT UP THERE, UP BY THE BURGER BARN.
WERE THEY TOGETHER? THEY'RE NEVER APART.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR THE BLOOD DRIVE.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THEY WERE COLLECTING BLOOD HERE TODAY? YEAH, THEY'RE HERE EVERY THURSDAY.
GIVE A LITTLE, GET A LITTLE.
DO SOMETHING TO HELP A SICK PERSON.
YOU HEAR THAT, KNIGHT? WHAT'S THE MATTER? JACK, I SHOULD HAVE PUT THEM UP.
WHAT, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT UP ALL THE STREET PEOPLE? THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! YOU GOTTA STOP BLAMING YOURSELF.
OKAY, BLOOD DRIVES, HOMELESS-- I THINK THERE'S A CONNECTION HERE, RIGHT? THEIR BLOOD'S MISSING.
EXCUSE ME, YOU WORK THE DAY SHIFT, RIGHT? WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT? WORK IT OUT IN YOUR OWN TIME! THEY ALL GAVE-- WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM? NO, I WANT TO KNOW.
I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO KNOW.
[ Woman Dispatcher On Radio .]

OKAY, THIS TIME.
[ Groans .]
[ Crowd Chuckles .]
[ Scoffs .]
WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT? THE SUNBEAMS BLOWING THE MOON AWAY DO I STILL CALL YOU JANETTE? IF YOU LIKE.
I'D HEARD YOU WERE IN TOWN.
THREE YEARS.
WASN'T IT CHICAGO BEFORE? WHERE'S TIME? THE DORIAN GRAY SYNDROME.
ALTHOUGH, IF I HAD KNOWN THEY WERE GONNA INSTALL LIGHTS AT WRIGLEY FIELD-- I HATE BASEBALL.
NOT A THING TO COME BETWEEN US.
POOR JEAN-PIERRE.
BLOWING THE MOON AWAY [ Speaking French .]
[ In English .]
THE LIGHT'S DARK.
I'M THE OWNER.
AND I FIND I CAN MIX IT WITH A LITTLE WINE.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME? DESIRE DESIRE [ Chanting .]
DESIRE THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE PROBABLY ON DUTY.
HE'S HERE.
I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME THIS TIME? NICKY SOMETHING? WHERE IS HE, JANETTE? HE HASN'T BEEN MAKING THESE KILLS, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK.
NOWADAYS, NO ONE'S THAT STUPID.
WHERE? ALWAYS THE GENTLEMAN.
FILTHY HABIT.
AT LEAST I KNOW IT WON'T KILL ME.
I'D BE CAREFUL, IF I WERE YOU.
HE'S VERY DISAPPOINTED.
BLOWING THE MOON AWAY LIGHTS ME UP FULL ONE MORE DAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WE HAVE TO TALK.
ACTUALLY, I'M WITH SOMEONE.
GET BACK.
WHY ARE YOU STARING AT MY CHEST? - WHY ARE THEY STARING AT MY NECK? - WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I FOLLOWED YOU.
FROM THE PARK.
WHAT? I HEARD ABOUT THE MURDER, AND I FIGURED YOU'D BE THERE, SO-- GET OUT OF THE CAR.
NO! I'M ON POLICE BUSINESS.
NO, YOU WON'T.
I'LL RIDE SHOTGUN.
[ Horn Beeping .]
COME ON, MOVE IT, BUDDY.
GET OUT.
IT'S DANGEROUS.
THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH VAMPIRES, DOESN'T IT? [ Alyce .]
NICK, YOU GOT A SECRET YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH ME? TELL ME SOMETHING, DO YOU DO ALL YOUR READING IN SUPERMARKET CHECKOUT LINES? WELL? - WELL, WHAT? - I WENT THROUGH A PINT OF ICE CREAM, AND TWO BAGS OF CHIPS THE OTHER NIGHT, TRYING TO FIND THIS.
- IS THIS YOU? - YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE ME.
- EVEN THE SCAR ON YOUR CHEST IS THE SAME.
- THEN IT MUST BE ME.
IT WAS TAKEN IN 1889.
THEN IT MUST BE SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE ME.
RIGHT.
WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE GOBLET, WHO CAN READ GLYPHS, WHO CAN DISAPPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MUSEUM IN TEN SECONDS FLAT.
ARE YOU LOSING IT, OR WHAT? EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD'S GOT A DOUBLE.
MY UNCLE'S A DEAD RINGER FOR MORTON DOWNEY, JR.
WHILE THAT MAY MAKE HIM MISERABLE AT TIMES, IT DOES NOT MAKE HIM A VAMPIRE.
AM I MAKING A COMPLETE FOOL OF MYSELF? I GOT OUT OF THE MUSEUM THE SAME WAY THE MURDERER DID: THROUGH THE BACK ROOMS AND INTO THE BASEMENT.
GLYPHS AND THE GOBLET-- PURE N.
Y.
U.
GOD! AND I CALL MYSELF A SCIENTIST.
LEGENDS ARE SEDUCTIVE.
WE WANT TO BELIEVE THEM.
[ Chuckles .]
IT'S LIKE GOOD GOSSIP.
I DID WANT TO BELIEVE IT.
WHAT? THAT I WAS A VAMPIRE? WELL, THINK ABOUT IT.
HOW INCREDIBLE.
TO BE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST, A HISTORIAN, AND HAVE A LIVING, FIRST-HAND CONNECTION TO THE PAST.
THERE YOU GO AGAIN.
LIVING IN THE PAST.
I GUESS.
I-- [ Chuckles .]
ISN'T THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRESENT YOU LIKE? - NICK, ABOUT LAST NIGHT-- - HEY, THE CHEMISTRY JUST WENT A LITTLE, PSHH! YOU KNOW.
I WAS TALKING TOO MUCH.
HEY, IT'S HISTORY.
IT'S IN THE PAST.
OKAY? IT'S JUST YOU AND ME NOW.
AND THE CADDY.
[ Thumping Dashboard .]
YOU'RE GONNA LET ME STAY? WHERE'S YOUR CAR? BACK AT THE CLUB.
[ Sighs .]
NIGHT CRAWLER'S BRINGING YOU A LITTLE LEAD ON KTDE.
METAL, FOR THE AGES.
THREE WEEKS IN THIS TOWN, AND I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN MY OLD FRIEND.
[ Laughs .]
WHERE DID THEY DIG UP THIS GUY? [ Man On Radio .]
IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME.
WE HAVE A LOT TO CATCH UP ON.
[ Racking Tape .]
THIS NEXT SET IS DEDICATED TO YOU, JEAN-PIERRE.
THE NIGHT CRAWLER'S WAITING FOR YOU.
I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE.
WHERE ARE YOU? THEY SAY I'M CRAZY I REALLY DON'T CARE THAT'S MY PREROGATIVE [ Muffled .]
[ Continues .]
LISTEN TO ME.
KEEP IT TUNED TO THIS STATION.
IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING WEIRD, OR I'M NOT OUT IN 20 MINUTES, PICK UP THIS RADIO, SAY, "81-KILO NEEDS BACKUP," AT THIS ADDRESS.
WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER IF WE JUST CALLED THEM NOW? OR AT LEAST INTRODUCED ME TO THE PERSON I'LL BE TALKING TO? JUST STAY IN THE CAR.
OKAY? [ Buzzing .]
[ Door Closing .]
WELL, WE COULD TALK OVER A MIDNIGHT SNACK.
LACROIX.
WHERE IS IT? IS THAT ANY KIND OF A HELLO? [ Chuckles Bitterly .]
IT'S A LONG TIME, JEAN-PIERRE.
AFTER ALL THE TROUBLE I WENT THROUGH TO CLAIM YOU.
I GUESS IT WOULD BE MORE APPETIZING.
[ Heart Thumping .]
YOU LOOK PALE.
YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY? ALL I WANT IS THE GOBLET.
I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU NEVER HAVE.
IMMORTALITY? WASN'T THAT YOUR BIG WISH? TO LIVE FOREVER! NEVER HAVE TO WIND UP LIKE THIS.
[ Chuckling .]
I GAVE THAT TO YOU.
AND WHAT DID I GET? CONTEMPT.
HATRED.
AND DESERTION.
I COULDN'T KILL ANYMORE.
WHO HAS TO KILL? YOU DO.
[ Laughing .]
THE GUARD? YES.
BUT NOT THOSE PATHETIC OTHERS.
THIS IS THE 20th CENTURY.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE.
YOU'RE LYING.
IT'S THE TRUTH.
AND WHAT ARE WE? THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! WE NEED TO TRUST EACH OTHER.
WE SHOULD TRUST EACH OTHER.
HOW LONG IS THE LONGEST FRIENDSHIP? I WANT THE GOBLET! [ Sighs .]
THEN COME AND GET IT.
OOH, FEELING A LITTLE WEAK? PERHAPS YOU NEED AN IRON SUPPLEMENT.
[ Laughing .]
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO BE: A PATHETIC, COWERING MORTAL.
TASTE THE BLOOD ON YOUR FACE.
TASTE IT.
YOU CAN'T DENY WHAT YOU ARE.
[ Grunting, Screaming .]
YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET THE GOBLET.
YOU HAVEN'T THE COURAGE! [ Laughing .]
NO GUTS, NO GLORY, MAN.
YOU WANT MORTALITY? I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
BY FIRE.
A STAKE THROUGH THE HEART.
BY THE SUN.
AND ONE MORE, MY FRIEND: BY DECAPITATION.
[ Chuckling .]
WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE TO GET A RISE OUT OF YOU? ALYCE! GET OUT OF HERE! IS THIS SOMEONE I SHOULD MEET? HMM? [ Laughing, Screaming .]
[ Laughing Demonically .]
MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO FIND OUT JUST HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO BE MORTAL.
IT'S A SIMPLE CHOICE.
A CLASSIC.
WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO SAVE? THE GOBLET? OR THE GIRL? HMM? [ Chuckling .]
BASTARD! [ Both Screaming .]
[ Growling .]
[ Screaming .]
[ Sizzling .]
[ Exhaling .]
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THAT MEETING? [ Phone Ringing .]
HEY, AL.
WHAT? I NEED THOSE REPORTS.
I'LL GET 'EM.
YOU GOT IT.
DON'T MAKE ME LOOK BAD.
YES.
THIS IS ALYCE HUNTER.
IS DETECTIVE KNIGHT THERE? UH, KNIGHT? UH, NO, MA'AM, HE HASN'T CHECKED IN.
WELL, WHEN HE DOES CHECK IN, WOULD YOU TELL HIM ALYCE CALLED? YES, MA'AM, I WILL.
THANKS.
[ Exhales .]
YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN NICK OR TALKED TO HIM SINCE HE WALKED OUT OF THE PARK? I WAS ASLEEP, SIR.
YOU GUYS SURE PICK AN INTERESTING SPOT FOR A MEETING.
CAPTAIN, I BROUGHT BY THE REPOR ON THE PARK KILLING.
I THINK KNIGHT WAS WORKING ON THE LEAD.
I'M JUST PRAYING I CAN MAKE IT SOUND BETTER THAN THAT TO THE MAYOR, YOU KNOW? BLOOD DRIVES, BLOOD DRIVES.
WHAT WERE THE VICTIMS' BLOOD TYPES, DOCTOR? UH, YES.
EACH OF THE HOMELESS WERE TYPE O-NEGATIVE, BUT-- I'M TELLING YOU, THAT'S THE KEY.
THE TYPE "O," THE HOMELESS, THE BLOOD DRIVES.
WHAT ABOUT THE GUARD? - THE GUARD WAS TYPE "AB.
" - CAPTAIN.
TRAFFIC FOUND DETECTIVE KNIGHT'S CAR ILLEGALLY PARKED.
THEY IMPOUNDED IT.
HUH.
OKAY, WE GOT THE KEYS.
I'LL SEND SOMEBODY DOWN.
YES, SIR.
[ Dog Barking .]
[ Dispatcher On Radio, Indistinct .]
I'M TELLING YOU, NOBODY'S LISTENING.
NOBODY'S LISTENING TO ME! ALL OF A SUDDEN, KNIGHT'S THIS BIG EXPERIENCED HOTSHOT, AND HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE THE GUY.
HE LOOKS GOOD IN LEATHER.
BETWEEN YOU AND ME AND THE LAMPPOST, THE GUY IS IN THE DARK ABOUT A FEW THINGS.
IT'S A CULT THING.
IT'S GOTTA BE A CULT THING.
IT'S A WEIRD, WEIRD WORLD WE LIVE IN, MY FRIEND.
[ Engine Starts, Rumbles .]
OH, WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THAT BABY PURR? AW, THAT TAKES ME BACK TO 1973 IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
A BUDDY OF MINE HAD ONE.
WE USED TO CRUISE NORTH UP LAKESHORE DRIVE TO WAUKEGAN, KNOW WHAT I MEAN? [ Dispatcher On Radio .]
ANY WEST L.
A.
UNIT-- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
IS THAT IT, PAL? YEAH, THAT'S IT.
DISPATCH, 81 KILO.

SHE'S GORGEOUS FOR YOU.
I'LL HAVE YOU OVER FOR DINNER.
JUST LOOK AT HER.
SHE'S VERY PRETTY.
YOU'LL LOVE HER! I'M ON A RESTRICTED DIET.
HONESTLY.
YOU'RE MAKIN' A MISTAKE.
YOU'LL LOVE HER.
[ Phone Ringing .]
OOH, YOU'LL LOVE HER IF YOU SEE HER! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
YOU THINK THIS IS FAKE? I'M A COP.
YOU CAN'T GET ME ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER? NOT WITHOUT DR.
DANTLEY'S APPROVAL.
[ Bell Dinging .]
[ Beeps .]
[ Typing .]
I AM JUST TRYING TO MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS HERE.
COULD YOU AT LEAST TELL ME IF ANY OF THE VICTIMS DONATED BLOOD? DR.
DANTLEY WILL BE-- [ Both .]

RIGHT.
RIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, VERY MUCH.
FENNER, MY MAN, COULD YOU PLEASE TELL THIS WOMAN I'M A GOOD GUY? I DONATED SOME "AB" BLOOD THE OTHER DAY.
HE'S ONE OF OUR REGULAR DONORS.

YEAH, RIGHT.
THANKS.
ARE THOSE OLD, UH, CADILLAC KEYS? YEAH, A '59 RAGTOP.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE '59 CADDY HAS MORE TRUNK SPACE THAN ANY CAR IN THE LAST 30 YEARS? REALLY? HOW'S THE MILEAGE? WITH A RIDE LIKE THAT WHO'S COUNTING, HUH? [ Both Laughing .]
COULD YOU GET DANTLEY ON THE PHONE FOR ME? WE'RE THIS CLOSE TO CATCHING THE MURDERER.
SORRY.
[ Touch-Tones Beeping .]
DR.
BRITTINGTON.
JACK, IT'S NICK.
NICK, WHERE ARE YOU? IT'S A LONG STORY.
WHO SAID SCHANKE COULD RIDE AROUND IN MY CAR? BRUNETTI.
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.
LISTEN, I'M RUNNING A CHECK IN THE BLOOD BANK.
GET THIS.
SCHANKE WAS RIGHT.
ALL THE HOMELESS VICTIMS WERE BLOOD DONORS, ALL NEGATIVE.
[ Keys Jingling .]
WHAT ABOUT LACROIX? WELL, HE JUST OFFED THE MUSEUM GUARD, BUT THE GUY THAT'S DOING THE KILLINGS IS STILL ON THE STREET.
HOLD ON.
DR.
DANTLEY, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
[ Woman On Intercom .]
DR.
WILLIS-- NAH, I BETTER GET A WARRANT.
LISTEN, I GOTTA GO.
MY RIDE'S LEAVING.
NO, WAIT, NICK, UH-- YOU SOUND WEAK.

PAPA, PAPA, PAPA-HOO SCHANKE, IF ONLY YOU KNEW.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT ATTITUDE.
YOU THINK I DID IT ON PURPOSE? AND WHEN YOU'RE FILLING OUT THE REPORT, SPELL THE NAME RIGHT! IT'S SCHANKE! S-C-H-A-N-K-E! COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
[ Dispatcher On Radio, Indistinct .]

YEAH, DETECTIVE KNIGHT, PLEASE.
SORRY, HE'S NOT HERE.
CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE? NO, THANKS.
I'LL CALL BACK.
[ Phone Ringing .]
HI, I'M EITHER IN BED OR INCOMMUNICADO, SO IF YOU WANNA LEAVE YOUR NAME AND NUMBER, JUST WAIT FOR THE BEEP.
[ Beeps .]
DR.
HUNTER? GUYS, GUYS, WE CAN'T PUT THAT HERE.
PUT IT BACK, PLEASE.
OKAY, BACK OVER HERE.

YOU CAN FIX WHAT YOU GOT, RIGHT? WHAT DO YOU USE FOR BRAINS? RIGHT FRONT FENDER, TOTALED.
QUARTER PANEL, TOTALED.

REAR PANEL, TOTALED.
FENDER, BUMPER AND THIS TRUNK! LOOK AT THIS! [ Grunts .]
[ Grunts .]
- THIS THING'S MUSHED SO TIGHT, WE'LL HAVE TO TORCH IT OPEN.
- YOU'RE EXAGGERATING, RIGHT? YOU FIND ME ANOTHER CADDY, MAYBE IN SOME JUNKYARD, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.
OTHERWISE YA GOT TWO TONS OF SCRAP METAL HERE.
OH, MAN.
OH, MAN.
OH, MAN, HE'S GONNA KILL ME! HE'S GONNA KILL ME.
WORSE, HE'S GONNA MAKE ME PAY FOR IT.
AAW! SCHANKE.
I'M DEAD.
HONEST TO GOD! I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE STATION, BUT THE HOSPITAL'S ON ITS WAY.
I SAID, WHY NOT? I MIGHT AS WELL-- THIS KILLS ME, KNIGHT.
IT KILLS ME MORE THAN YOU! - BRAKES FAILED? - ON THEIR OWN, I SWEAR! I'VE HAD FOUR POLICE DRIVING COURSES.
I KNOW HOW TO STOP A CAR.
THEY WERE CUT.
THEY WERE CUT? BY WHO? BY THE ONE WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
SEEMS YOU WERE RIGHT, SCHANKE.
I WAS RIGHT.
MUSEUM MURDERER WAS A DIFFERENT KILLER.
- HE WAS? - BLOOD DRIVES AND THE HOMELESS.
THEY WERE THE KEYS ALL ALONG.
WELL, I KNEW THAT.
I KNOW.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE NOT ANGRY ABOUT THE CAR? NO, I AM MAD ABOUT THE CAR, BUT I GUESS I OWE AN APOLOGY, I GUESS.
- WHAT? - I SAID I GUESS I OWE YA AN APOLOGY ABOUT THE CASE.
[ Laughs .]
WELL, I ACCEPT IT.
GOOD.
[ Bangs On Car .]
[ Inhales .]
HEY, YOU OKAY? YOU LOOK LIKE DEATH WARMED OVER.
YOU ALL RIGHT? OH, MAN.
I'M JUST A BIT WEAK.
I'M HUNGRY, THAT'S ALL.
I GOT SOME JERKY.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
GET BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
HEY, LISTEN, JERKY'S NOT BAD FOR YOU.
IT-- IT-- IT SORT OF STIMULATES THE-- [ Beeping .]
[ Beeps .]
NICK? [ Knight .]
THE VICTIMS ARE ALL REGULAR BLOOD DONORS, O-NEGATIVE.
THEY ALL USE THE MOBILE UNITS.
[ Schanke .]
WHO TOLD YOU THAT? DR.
DANTLEY.
[ Laughs .]
OH, THE MYSTERY DR.
DANTLEY? ANY NEWS ON JEANNIE? NO, NOTHING.
LISTEN, BETWEEN YOU AND ME, WHAT WAS YOUR CAR DOING IN SOUTH PARK LAST NIGHT? ANYBODY REPORT ANYTHING WEIRD UP THERE THIS MORNING? NO.
WHY? ALYCE AND I HAD A LEAD ON THE STOLEN GOBLET.
WE WERE UP THERE-- [ Laughing .]
ALYCE? YOU WERE WITH ALYCE LAST NIGHT? LISTEN, NICK, BETWEEN YOU AND ME, IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH YOU AND ALYCE? COME ON.
DR.
HUNTER AND ME? YEAH.
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, I HAVE MY ANSWER.
I GOT MY ANSWER.
NICK? IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SCARE ME AGAIN, YOU'RE DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB.
OH.
[ Grunts .]
WHERE IS HE? WHERE-- WHERE-- WHERE'S NICK? [ Grunting .]
WHAT WE NEED IS THE ANSWERS TO A FEW QUESTIONS.
LIKE? LIKE WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE BLOOD DONOR RECORDS? OH, BLOOD BANK STAFF, PHYSICIANS, HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS.
OH, THAT NARROWS THE FIELD A BIT, DOESN'T IT? OKAY.
ANYBODY COME IN AND OUT OF HERE THIS AFTERNOON WHILE DETECTIVE SCHANKE WAS HERE? NO.
THERE WERE A FEW NURSES.
UH, DR.
SIMMONS POPPED THROUGH.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? HE'S HUNGRY.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.
I'M OKAY.
I'M ALL RIGHT.
YOU SURE? YEAH, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.
[ Sighs .]
OKAY.
NO, I THINK THE GUY WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A JANITOR OR AN ORDERLY.
SOMEONE THAT WEARS THEIR KEYS ON THEIR BELT.
KEYS.
LET ME CHECK MY LOGS.
YEAH, HAVE THEM RING THE BELL.
NO, PLEASE, JUST HURRY.
WHOO! IT'S COLD IN HERE.
AMBULANCE SHOULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE NOW.
NO.
NO HOSPITALS.
YOU NEED HELP.
HE'LL BE THERE.
WHO? HE WAS ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CADDY, BUT HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE KEYS? MY SECRET.
NO, NO, NO.
WE HAVE NO SECRETS.
JACK FENNER.
HE'S A WONDERFUL MAN.
YEAH, A REAL REGULAR GUY, NICK.
ANYTHING HAPPEN TO HIM THIS YEAR? - ANY KIND OF TRAUMA MIGHT HAVE PUT HIM OVER THE EDGE? - HE'S BEEN IN COUNSELING.
FOR WHAT? HE LOST HIS MOTHER.
HOW? CAR ACCIDENT.
WELL, NOT REALLY.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
SHE LOST A LOT OF BLOOD IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND NEEDED SEVERAL PINTS.
WE ALWAYS TEST OUR BLOOD, BUT I GUESS SOME OF THE BLOOD SHE RECEIVED WAS INFECTED WITH HEPATITIS.
THAT'S WHAT SHE DIED FROM? THE HEPATITIS? MR.
FENNER BLAMES HIMSELF FOR LETTING IT SLIP THROUGH.
I BET YOU SHE WAS O-NEGATIVE.
BET YA SHE WAS.
WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT? WELL, YOU SEE, O-NEGATIVE IS THE UNIVERSAL DONOR, BUT CAN ONLY RECEIVE O-NEGATIVE BLOOD.
SOME OF THE BLOOD CAME FROM STREET PEOPLE AND THE REGULARS THAT HE KNEW.
MAYBE HE MIGHT BLAME THEM AS WELL AS HIMSELF.
MAYBE HE'D SEE THAT THEY COULD NEVER DONATE AGAIN.
DETECTIVE KNIGHT.
I WANNA PUT OUT AN A.
P.
B.
[ Buzzing .]
I'LL BE WITH YOU.
I WON'T LEAVE UNTIL NICK GETS THERE.
[ Keys Jingling .]
AMBULANCE? TAKE THE ELEVATOR.
IT'S ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
[ Keys Jingling .]
HOLD ON, "SKANKS".
I WANNA CHECK MY MACHINE.
OH, COME ON.
MY WIFE'S GONNA KILL ME, NICK.
SHE'S-- LOOKIT, THEY GOT BAGELS.
GREAT.
I'M EITHER IN BED OR INCOMMUNICADO-- [ Touch-Tones Beeping .]
[ Cassette Tape Playing .]
[ Jack .]
WHERE ARE YOU? WILL YOU PLEASE CHECK IN? I'M GETTING NERVOUS.
IT'S HIM.
[ Beeps .]
NICK? NICK? ALYCE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? LOOKING FOR YOU.
WHERE ARE YOU? HOW DID YOU GET IN? THE MAYAN NUMBERS ON THE STELA.
HUH.
VERY CLEVER.
SOMEONE NAMED JEANNIE'S HERE.
SHE'S ALIVE! APPARENTLY THE GUY THAT BEAT HER UP LEFT HER FOR DEAD.
SHE KNOWS WHO'S DOING THE MURDERS.
DID YOU CALL AN AMBULANCE? YEAH, THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY NOW.
IF THE PARAMEDIC THINKS SHE'S STABLE, DON'T MOVE HER.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HANG ON.
THE GUY'S HERE NOW.
[ Buzzes .]
[ Keys Jingling .]
WHA-- WAIT A MINUTE.
WHERE'S YOUR STUFF? DON'T YOU HAVE A MEDIC PACK? [ Jeannie .]
NO! WHO ARE YOU? [ Groans .]

PUT A CALL OU AND MEET ME THERE.
WATCH IT! HEY, HOLD IT! HOLD-- HEY! YOU WANNA TELL ME HOW YOU'RE GONNA GET THERE? [ Breathing .]
[ Dispatcher .]
WELL, WE'VE BEEN LOOKIN' ALL OVER FOR HIM.
WHERE THE HELL IS KNIGHT? LISTEN, ALL HE SAID WAS MEET HIM AT HIS PLACE.

JEANNIE, WHERE'S ALYCE? CAN YOU MAKE IT TO THE ELEVATOR? - I THINK SO.
- GO.
[ Breathing Raspingly .]
ALYCE! [ Breathing Raspingly .]
CAN YOU WALK? I'M NOT SURE.
[ Roaring .]
[ Screaming .]
I THINK YOU GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO YOU.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
YOU KNOW, STEEL SPIKES CAN'T KILL A VAMPIRE.
BUT FIRE CAN.
[ Laughs .]
ISN'T IT TIME YOU CAME OUT? I DON'T THINK HE'LL COME THROUGH THE FIRE.
NICK.
- WE GET HIM TO THE OTHER SIDE.
LET YOU UNDER THE DOOR.
- YOU LOOK WEAK, JEAN-PIERRE.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FED? I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CHANGE.
DO YOU? NICK, FEED ON MY BLOOD.
[ Panting .]
NO! THAT'S A WONDERFUL OFFER, JEAN-PIERRE.
TAKE HER.
MAKE HER ONE OF US.
[ Panting .]
NO, I CAN'T.
IT COULD KILL YOU.
OR MAKE ME IMMORTAL.
NO, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
- I DO.
- LISTEN TO HER.
- TAKE ME.
- DO IT! [ Gasps .]
N-O-O-O! [ Roars.]
YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME AS A MORTAL? GO TO HELL! NOT BEFORE YOU! [ Screams .]

SHE WANTED TO LIVE FOREVER.
SO DID YOU.
IT'S VERY SEDUCTIVE, THE IDEA OF NEVER DYING.
NEVER BEING ABLE TO LOVE SOMEONE, IS THAT SEDUCTIVE? SHE HAD NO IDEA.
AH, ALYCE AND LACROIX, THEY'RE THE LUCKY ONES.
OH, YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.
IS THAT WHY YOU WANNA BECOME MORTAL, SO THAT YOU CAN DIE? OR DO YOU WANT THE EXPERIENCE OF LIVING AND LOVING LIKE A HUMAN BEING AGAIN? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'LL EVER HAPPEN.
GEE, AND I WAS SO CLOSE.
LISTEN, UH-- ARE THERE ANY OTHER OBJECTS OR RITUALS THAT MIGHT HELP? WELL, THERE'S A RUMOR THAT A GOBLET WAS SOLD INTO A PRIVATE COLLECTION.
WELL, KEEP LOOKING.
YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BRING ME OVER? I DON'T KNOW.
KEEP EATING.
WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL.
FANCY MEETING YOU GENTLEMEN HERE.
ALLOW ME TO PRESENT TO YOU THE KEYS TO A 1959 CADILLAC IN CHERRY CONDITION.
LITTLE DID I KNOW, I HAVE A THIRD COUSIN IN THE AUTOBODY BUSINESS.
RELATIVES DO COME IN HANDY, PARTNER.
PARTNER? WELL, BRUNETTI THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YEAH.
AFTER ALL, I DID SAVE NICK, RIGHT, JACK? I MEAN, DOC.
ONE WAY TO PUT IT.
I PUT THE HOSPITAL THING TOGETHER.
THE BLOOD BANK STUFF.
MAJOR CONTRIBUTION.
MAJOR.
SO WHY DO I THINK SOMEBODY'S HOLDING OUT ON ME? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, OKAY.
I UNDERSTAND ABOUT FENNER.
HE THINKS HE KILLED JEANNIE.
SHE'S AB-NEGATIVE, SO HE DIDN'T DRAIN HER BLOOD.
I GOT THAT.
BUT WHAT ABOUT FENNER HIMSELF? WHAT ABOUT HIM? IF HE WAS THE GUY DRAINING THE BLOOD, THEN WHY WAS TWO PINTS MISSING FROM HIS BODY WHEN WE FOUND HIM? EVAPORATION? NO.
NO, NO, I DON'T BUY THAT.
ABSOLUTELY.
FROM THE HEAT OF THE FIRE.
OKAY, OKAY, I BUY THAT.
I BUY THAT.
THOSE CIGARETTES.
FASTEST WAY INTO A COFFIN, HUH, NICK? ONE OF 'EM, ANYWAY.
YOU GUYS ARE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE MY WIFE.
I AM TRYING TO QUIT.
I'M TRYING.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK.
