True Blood s06e02 Episode Script

The Sun

Oh, fuck.
Shit.
Fuck! Oh, yeah? Prepare to meet your fucking maker, Warlow.
I'm not Warlow I'm your fucking fairy grandfather.
Wha--? How do I know you're not someone pretending to be my fairy grandfather? I've been watching over you your whole life.
Prove it.
You broke your middle finger in fourth grade and you were mad because you couldn't flip off your friend Hoyt.
You scored the winning touchdown against the Shreveport Bulldogs.
- I was there.
- Goddamn.
That was a good game.
And you had some juicy porn under your bed.
Yeah, all right.
Listen, if you're my kin why didn't you just say so a hundred miles ago? I was testing you and you failed miserably.
Well, if you know me so well, you know I hate tests.
I come all this way looking for a Stackhouse.
I find you wandering the roads at night half out of your mind, seeing your dead parents blabbing your business to a stranger.
What if I had been Warlow? Listen, Grandpa when Warlow gets here I'll be ready for him.
Warlow is thousands of years old.
He's probably the oldest vampire still walking.
And he's fast and he's clever.
Can I have it back? If you want in on this fight you better straighten up.
I have serious doubts about you being ready for what's gonna come next.
I can do this.
We'll see.
Oh, God! Oh, my God! Jesus, it's burning.
You're gonna be okay.
I got you, baby.
- What the hell happened here? - They shot Tara.
She's not healing.
That fucking governor.
Bloody hell.
What did this to her? The police have these new fucking guns.
The bullet, it's still inside her.
What are you doing? I'm getting it out, Pam.
Hold her still.
What the fuck was it? It's a silver bullet that emits UV light.
Give me that glass.
Careful.
Where did they get this? What do you mean, "Where did they get this?" General Cavanaugh said the government were developing new weapons.
- What general? - The general I killed.
Dead general.
Got it.
They fucking did it.
The humans are fighting back.
What did you expect, they'd just lie there and take it? Well, they've never fought back before, have they? We had fucking Tru Blood to keep the peace.
Now that Tru Blood's gone, vampires are screwed.
I'm not scared of humans.
I have never been, either but that was before I saw Tara baking like a goddamn rotisserie.
Maybe we should be scared.
There's more of them than us and they're pissed.
And now they have fucking weapons? And they stole all my shit? And you and your fucking Authority cronies fucked us! I am so, so sorry that your little bar was robbed and that you're scared but Eric and I have to deal with the small matter - of killing a vampire god.
- Yeah, and how's that--? If the humans want war we'll give them war.
Scour the vampire bible.
Figure out what kind of monster Bill is.
I've already been through it backwards and forwards-- Try again! What are you gonna do? Fucking asshole.
Bill? Bill! I can feel them.
I can feel all of them, all of their pain.
- All of the vampires.
- Focus.
I need you to help me.
I don't know how to help you.
They're whipping her with chains, she can't get away.
Bill, I don't understand.
And there's another one.
And they've trapped him.
Trapped who? He's gonna burn.
They're dragging him behind a truck.
- Fucker! - They're laughing.
- Where? - On a road.
And I can't help them! No.
Oh, no, no, no! Bill, what the fuck? Bill? Bill? Bill, I need you to come back to me.
Bill! Bill, wake up! Bill? Bill.
Bill.
Thank you, ladies.
That'll be all.
Where am I? We are in no place.
What is happening to me? You think you still get to be Bill Compton? - I don't know what I'm supposed to be.
- Then you must listen carefully as we do not have much time.
- It is beginning.
- I don't understand.
Events have been set in motion.
Hello? Sookie Stackhouse, I don't know who you think you are but last time I checked, you were still a waitress at a little diner called Merlotte's.
And it says here that you have a shift.
In case you've forgotten, that means you serve people food and they give you money.
I'm sorry, Arlene.
Um.
I had a rough night.
Well, guess what, Missy Hangover.
That ain't my G-D problem.
You're right.
I'll be right in.
Blueberry pancakes and a Sam's power scramble.
She's still at home.
Can you believe it? God.
I'm bringing in Holly.
- Oh, shit.
- What? That's Patrick's wife.
What is she doing here? Well, you have to go talk to her.
- I can't.
- Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
For the good of your family, okay? For the good of me and the kids.
I know what happened, Terry Bellefleur.
Patrick ran off with some girl.
Last I know, Patrick says that he's coming to see you and then he just up and disappears.
He ain't here, is he? No.
He ain't.
Then just tell me that bastard run out on me? The thing is, Maggie Patrick, he was-- Yes, honey, he did.
I'm Terry's wife, Arlene.
Men, they stick together and they hold each other's secrets, but you deserve to know the truth.
He's gone, sweetheart.
I'm so sorry.
I've been with cheating men.
I know what it's like to give your heart to somebody you thought you knew only to find that you didn't know him at all.
But what you need to do now is stay strong.
Okay? For you and for that little life inside you.
Can you do that? I can't believe this is happening.
Oh, sweetie, I know.
Life is really a shit sandwich sometimes.
No, not today.
I have a job.
Oh, gosh dang it.
You okay? No.
You need me to call you an ambulance? Do you know what happened to you? Smelled my blood, my damned blood.
A vampire attacked me.
Are you a fairy? I'm a halfling.
Me too.
- Unh.
- Okay, you need a hospital.
No, hospitals don't know what to do with fairies.
You know, you didn't have to do this.
I know.
Thank you.
Did you get a look at the vampire who attacked you? No, it all happened so fast.
How did you get away? I.
I blasted it.
Well, just lie here and I'll go get some warm water and bandages.
- What? - Nothing.
It's just you remind me of someone.
Who? My first love in high school.
You seem nicer though.
You probably banged your head along with your other injuries.
Yeah, she couldn't take a compliment either.
Wait a second.
You're not gonna fall asleep on me, are you? I'm already late for work.
Oh, fudge! Hello.
Hi.
Hello.
- Well, hey there.
- Hey.
- Where y'all from? - L.
A.
- Brooklyn.
- Vermont.
An international crowd.
This way.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Is your produce organic? Sugar, this is Bon Temps.
Down here, "organic" means you play the fancy piano at church.
I'll be right back to take your order.
Hey, Lafayette.
How's she doing? Oh, we just having us a good old time.
- Ain't that right, shorty pie? - Yeah.
Thanks so much for taking care of her.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Oh, it's cool.
Hey, bring us some food.
Your cupboard is bare.
You got it.
Excuse me, are you Sam Merlotte? Yeah.
I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment.
Maybe another day, sweetheart.
I'm in kind of a hurry.
I know what you are.
- Excuse me? - You're a shifter, right? What? You're a shifter.
Lady, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Look, I get that you and your people are closeted but we think it's important to begin a dialogue between humans and vampires and other supernatural creatures.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't know who you are or what you think you know-- I know that you were targeted by that hate group Human Patriots of America.
They shot you and Luna Garza then Luna shifts into Steve Newlin last night on TV.
So she's a shifter too, right? The police are looking for her and her daughter Emma-- - I need you to be quiet.
- You don't understand.
I'm here to help you.
Follow me.
Come here.
What is it you want? I want you to come out as a shifter.
I want you to tell your story to the world.
No.
Okay, sometimes I get a little excited a little ahead of myself.
My name is Nicole Wright.
I'm the cofounder of VUS Vampire Unity Society.
A nonviolent-- Okay, yeah, I got it, Nicole.
I'm not interested.
Wait a second.
You know the governor of Louisiana declared war on vampires last night? - Yeah, not my problem.
- It should be.
They're coming for you next.
- Says who? - Says history.
You really think the government's gonna stop at vampires? No, I don't.
That's why I stay hidden.
Exactly.
You stay hidden.
What if you didn't? What if you and the other shifters or whatever other supernatural creatures there are what if you came out? What would the government do? - Well, then they'd kill us too.
- No, not if you all came out publicly.
A movement has to start somewhere.
You need to have the guts to stand up and be counted because then you'll inspire the other supernaturals to do the same.
Listen.
Nicole, you seem like a nice person but you don't know fuck-all about my life.
This is Louisiana.
You know what that means? Well, I know that my white grandmother and my black grandfather were Freedom Riders.
And in 1961, they defied members of the Civil Rights Movement even Dr.
King, they boarded a bus and drove down to the Deep South to end segregation.
And they were attacked.
Yeah, they were a little naive but their actions started the Civil Rights Movement.
So, yeah, I know what the fuck that means.
Listen, I'm sorry but I can't help you.
You know, man, I know you're scared and I don't mean to upend your life but people are dying out there.
You can't just sit this one out.
What events? A tyrant is rising.
It is the beginning of the end.
You must complete my work.
- Why me? - You proved yourself worthy when you won the battle for my blood.
- Am I a god? - No.
God made me as vampire and Adam and Eve as human.
I am worshiped as a god as some may come to worship you as a god.
But there is no god but God.
- What am I supposed to do? - Bill? Bill, snap out of it.
I got you some food.
Maybe you're hungry.
That's maybe why you're like this.
I have no fricking idea.
It's open.
Hello? Can you close the door, please? I will be right back.
Hi.
You're from the service, right? Human Edibles.
"We're tasty.
" Yep, my name's Veronica.
We don't get too many daytime calls.
- Nice digs.
- Oh, thank you.
You look nervous.
Don't be.
- A girl's gotta eat, right? - Oh.
Fifty dollars for a bite to the wrist, $75 for the neck $150 for bites in other places.
No, sorry, um you're not for me.
You're for him.
What's wrong with him? I don't know.
That's why I called you.
I thought maybe he was hungry.
Hey, mister, you all right? He had some kind of.
I don't know, an episode, and then he just.
Hey, Bill? This nice lady's here to feed you.
You hungry? Hey there, handsome.
You're not feeling that well? I bet I can make you feel better.
I'm sorry, but looks like your friend here's out of commission.
There's a $50 minimum for me dragging my ass all the way down here.
Veronica? Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, Bill.
Oh, God! Bill, what are you doing? Oh, God.
What's that about? I have no idea.
Wasn't long ago I wanted to get rid of my light.
Why would you do that? I'm sick of being different.
Sick of all the pain.
Yeah.
You know sometimes it don't matter how hard you try to do the right thing it just turns out wrong.
I know we only just met but I can tell you're a good person.
Doesn't seem to matter much.
More of a liability these days.
Well, I did not mean to impose on you like this.
- Oh.
- Are you sure you're okay to move? You have been very kind.
Wait.
I don't know your name.
Ben.
You? Sookie.
You know where you're headed? Wherever the road takes me.
The road didn't really cooperate last time.
Yeah, I'll be all right.
You know, it's been a long time since anybody's shown me even an ounce of human kindness.
Makes the big, bad world seem a little less lonely.
Goodbye, Sookie.
There is a place.
A safe place for fairies.
Hello! Maurella! You come out here right now, Maurella! This ain't funny.
They keep growing! What the hell is that about? They're fairies! I don't know shit about baby fairies! You need to take them back! Please! I can't do this on my own.
I wanna be a good daddy to these kids.
I don't know how.
- Where's the portal? - The what? Where did Warlow try to break through? Oh, it's in the upstairs bathroom.
Sookie! Sook, are you here? Shh.
Oh, she's not here.
Sookie said he just-- He just came through the air like his face was in a Ziploc bag.
What the hell? - It's the entrance.
- Where does it go? To a terrible place.
When Warlow appeared to your sister he was trying to break through.
Okay, so, what are you doing? Let's see if he succeeded.
No-- Grandpa? Okay.
Grandpa! Grandpa! You okay? It's worse than I thought.
So, what brings you to Bon Temps? I was just looking to settle down.
Gotta have some roots.
Had a lot of bad in my life.
I was hoping for a little slice of something good.
I was.
I was hoping that maybe I could see you again.
Just take you out, repay the kindness.
That's real nice of you, but I'm not in what you'd call the best place to start something romantic like, right now.
I mean, if that's what you were asking.
Too soon.
I just lost Bill.
- Who's Bill? - Excuse me? I'm sorry, I.
Reading minds is a habit of mine.
- I just heard the name Bill-- - Bill is.
He's, uh.
I'm sorry, I should be getting back.
- I didn't mean to upset you.
- You didn't.
It's not you.
I just.
I shouldn't be taking walks with handsome strangers.
It never ends well.
Thibodeaux Field's a few miles up the road.
The fairy club's there.
You'll see the signs.
"And so it was that the people led Lilith to the sun.
And so it shall be again.
As the blood ascends, two will become one.
When light and dark collide our salvation is at hand.
The peop--" Your human dropped off some blood.
There's half a carton left.
- Where's Eric? - He went out.
- Where'd he go? - I have no idea.
- Hm.
Thought he told you everything.
- Apparently not.
- "People.
" - Been up all day? Yeah.
"The people led Lilith to the sun.
" What? A passage from the vampire bible.
It's been mistranslated.
Tell Eric I went out.
I'll be back soon.
Tell him yourself.
He told me to fuck off, so that's what I'm going to do.
Eric loves you, you know.
The only reason he never told you he had a sister inside the Authority is because that knowledge could've gotten you killed.
But I knew of you.
He spoke of you often and fondly.
You're what he's most proud of.
He's got a funny way of showing it.
I'll be back.
You need clearance and authorization.
Yeah, we're waiting on an updated list.
Hello, last name.
I don't see it here.
- Oh, right there.
- Oh, right.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I apologize.
- Thank you.
- Please go inside.
Sweetheart, listen to me.
I'll pick it up on the way home.
I'm late.
No, I'm late for a 5:30 with the governor.
I finally got a meeting.
Well, I know she's not the friendliest in the world but she gets the job done.
Don't mess with Texas, am I right? Some of the kids from the campaign are going out for drinks.
Seriously, sir.
She's a fighter.
No.
I will take the Gestapo with me.
Willa, it's too dangerous, sweetheart.
I'm sorry.
No, no.
My daughter just walked in.
Your 5:30 is here.
Well, send him in.
No, no.
She just graduated Tulane.
English degree.
I don't know what that's gonna buy in this economy but it cost about 60 grand.
The governor will see you now.
Wonderful.
- This way.
- Thank you.
All right, I think I can do that.
Just tell me what you want.
Alrighty, then.
Right, okay.
Bye-bye.
Hoo, boy, that boy can talk.
- I'm sorry about that.
- Oh, no problemo.
- Sit, sit.
- Thank you so much.
I know you're a busy man.
So you are from the, uh.
- Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
- Right.
About, uh.
- The whooping crane.
- Heh, heh.
Right, yeah.
You'll forgive me for not having read your proposal but I have been consumed with this vampire business.
Mm.
And I-- I just have to say that I really applaud you on that front.
Well, thank you.
Hasn't been easy.
No, but it takes a man of real vision to take a stand.
Well, I do not relish this fight but I, for one, cannot stand by while our communities are overrun with these bloodsuckers.
Mm-mm.
You know, they attacked a Chuck E.
Cheese yesterday.
- You hear about this? - No.
- A vampire stole two little kids - Mm-hm.
turned them into two tiny, little vampires.
And those little fangers well, they murdered their mama and daddy.
Sucked them dry right in their own living room.
Oh, can you imagine? I suppose they were just trying to survive.
Those little baby vampires.
Just like the whooping crane.
Yeah, indeed.
But I think you'd have to agree if whooping cranes posed a threat to the populace, we'd have to wipe them out.
- Mm.
You could try.
- Try? Oh, whooping cranes have been known to defend their territory.
- Well, even so-- - They charge their attackers.
Well, they're no match for a hunter.
Heh, heh, heh.
Well, I.
I don't know.
Perhaps you shouldn't underestimate them.
What's your point, fella? I'm just saying it's a tough fucking bird.
You know, fella, it's the end of the day so I don't have a whole lot of time to shoot the shit about cranes so why don't you just tell me what I can do for you.
Oh, I'll tell you what you can do, you sanctimonious sack of shit.
You will stop your persecution of vampires.
You will rescind your order to shut down vampire-run businesses.
And you will prosecute all human-on-vampire crime to the fullest extent of the law.
As a matter of fact, you now love all vampires.
- Guards.
- Move in.
Sorry, son, but that shit's not gonna work anymore.
Yeah, we figured out your hypnosis trick.
What did you all call it? "Glamouring"? Well, we made special contact lenses to protect us.
Matter of fact, we figured out a lot about your kind.
Helped us develop these fancy new weapons.
They will fry a vampire from the inside and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
I have spent years waiting for the political winds to swing my way and then you fuckers went out and bombed your own Tru Blood factories.
All of a sudden, no more obstacles.
I'm a genius.
So thank you for that.
It's time for humans to bite back.
You take this sneaky son of a bitch to camp.
All right, we got one in custody for secure transit.
- Jason.
- Come here.
- Sook-- - Where have you been? Whew.
You ain't never gonna believe what happened to me.
Sookie Stackhouse, I'd like you to meet our fairy grandfather, Niall.
He's gonna help us kill Warlow.
Are you guys hungry? I'm starving.
Yeah.
So then Grandpa Niall just up and disappears into thin air.
- You slipped into another dimension thing? - Yeah.
Sook, Grandpa can go back and forth.
It's the nuttiest thing I ever seen and I seen some crazy shit in this town.
He's.
He's been tracking Warlow like he's-- Like he's Bubba Fett.
Like an intergalactic bounty hunter.
You're not from outer space or something? No.
Okay, so not actual intergalactic travel but space and time shit that kind of hurts my head.
- He said when Warlow gets here-- - He's here.
- What? - Warlow.
- When? - Sometime in the last 24 hours.
Well, how the hell did he get here? When you channeled nature's memory on the bridge with Claude it drew him out.
What the fuck are we eating spaghetti for? Let's go stake the bastard.
There are some things you need to know, Sookie.
Things I must tell you.
Warlow is a vampire who has been obsessed with our family for thousands of years.
Why? We are the original fae.
Our bloodline is royal.
I'm king of our tribe.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're a king? That makes you a fairy princess.
And that makes me a fairy prince.
The gene skipped you.
He's been after us for thousands of years? He massacred my village.
I was young, 3 or 4 only.
My mother told me to hide so I never saw him but I heard his name.
He murdered the others and then he murdered my parents.
And I was the only one left.
He killed your parents too.
I tracked him over the centuries.
He showed himself to one of my sons, John Stackhouse.
And he signed the pact that promised me to Warlow.
Yes.
And then again, hundreds of years later on the night that your parents were killed.
On that night, Claudine managed to blast him into a dark realm where he's been ever since.
How do we stop him? There is a power within the fae of our bloodline a secret that has been passed down through generations.
We can channel our light into a single ball of energy that, when released, will go supernova killing any vampire it touches.
No shit.
For you, this will be a last resort.
Because you are only part fae you can only use it once.
And after that, you'll be fae no longer.
Understand? I'd like you to try it.
My light's been on the fritz lately.
I don't have much left.
You can practice this without losing any more light.
Manifest your light then let it reabsorb into you.
Try.
Concentrate.
Now, pour in all your love all your pain all your secrets, hopes, dreams.
And feel how the light holds you.
It's like the sun.
Sookie, it's more powerful than the sun.
So you're not gonna read me my rights? You don't have any rights, vamper.
- Well, that's not very nice.
- Get in the van.
What--? - They can fly? Chefs, this is the chopping block.
Ice cream cones, lump crab meat baby turnips and pickled ginger.
Those were the ingredients you had to combine for the appetizer course.
- Chef Phil? - I made.
This fool about to get chopped.
- And this one fell asleep an hour ago.
- Thanks, man.
I owe you one.
Oh, you owe me more than that, but that's all right.
I'm gonna just put it on your tab.
She's a good kid.
She got a special kind of spirit about herself.
Sam, what kind of trouble are you in? The less you know, the better for you.
Just stay.
Where's Emma? She all right? Yeah, yeah.
She's okay.
She's inside.
What about Luna? We saw her on the television.
She shifted.
Luna didn't make it.
- I'm so sorry, Sam.
- I'm sorry, man.
- Can I see Emma? - No, she's sleeping.
It'd be best if y'all came back tomorrow.
- She's been through a lot.
- Listen, Sam Luna shifted on national television.
It's put us all, shifters and weres, in danger of being exposed.
Now the feds are gonna be investigating Luna.
They'll probably look for Emma too.
It's a matter of time before they find you.
Emma can shift, we can hide, we'll be okay.
You sure about that? Look, I'm your friend and as your friend, I am telling you I think it's best if Emma comes home with us.
- Well, I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
- She's a werewolf, Sam.
Martha here is her grandmother.
She needs to be with her family now, her pack.
The last time we trusted your pack with Emma Russell Edgington got his hands on her.
I found her in a cage! Luna gave her life to save her, so, no, you can't take her home.
I am sorry that my mistake cost Luna her life but Emma belongs with us.
Do you honestly think that you will be a better parent to her than we can be? A single man living by himself forcing Emma to hide as a wolf from the police? - Luna hated werewolves.
- You gonna teach Emma to hate her own kind? - Hate what she is? - That's not the point.
Y'all need to mind y'all mangy-ass business.
Emma says she want to stay with Sam.
You best watch your mouth if you know what's good for you.
Hey, hold up.
We all want what's best for Emma.
Listen, I gave Luna my word and I'm gonna keep it.
Sam! - Emma.
- Come here.
- I wanna stay with Sam! - Put her down! Sam.
Bring her back! - Sam, I wanna stay with you! - Fricking crazy.
Sam! - You belong with us, sweetie.
- Sam! - No, put me down! - Let's go.
Oh, shit.
Evening, Miss Burrell.
Why don't you invite me in? Of course.
Come on in.
I don't know if you can hear me.
My Great-Aunt Matilda was in a coma once when I was a kid.
The doctor said she could hear us talking to her, so.
You said you could feel the pain of all vampires? I was wondering if you can feel mine.
Because I'm scared.
It feels like the world is spinning out of control and I have this terrible feeling.
Out there it's just chaos, and in here.
I was raised on the human Bible and then you gave me the vampire bible and I.
I don't know if I believe any of it, but.
Are you Lilith? Are you? Are you God? Heavenly Father I don't know the last time I prayed to you.
I have been greedy and lustful and wrathful.
I've killed people.
I've lied.
I've taken your name in vain.
I beg you for your forgiveness.
Please watch over my friends if that's what they are.
Please bless Jason.
He's such a good man and he's hurting so bad.
Please bless Sookie.
I know she tried to kill you, but she's been good to me and she loves you.
I know she does.
And bless Eric even in his anger and wrongheadedness.
Bless Pam.
Give her the courage to let happiness in.
And bless Tara that she may find whatever it is she's looking for.
And bless Sam and Lafayette and Arlene all the good people of Bon Temps.
They know not what they do.
And bless Hoyt wherever he is.
Watch out for him for me.
And bless Bill.
If you are him or he is you, bless him.
Please bring him back to me.
I.
I need him.
We all need him.
You must save us, save us all.
How? You will know what to do.
Trust what you see.
WATB News 4.
Vampire crisis.
The herd is headed up Kinney Road.
A group of men and women have apparently captured a vampire.
- Oh, Jesus.
- They have been dragging him for miles.
Thank God you're all right.
I was worried sick.
WATB has contacted the local Collin Parish's Sheriff's Department, who issued the following response: "Governor Burrell has mandated that vampires have no rights in the state of Louisiana so there is technically no crime being committed.
" The vampire you told me about earlier.
Viewers will remember that Burrell issued sweeping changes.
The vampire being dragged behind a truck.
This created an outcry.
It's happening now, what you saw before.
You can see the future? I can see the future.
No.
They're all gonna burn.
