We've had
a difficult relationship

with law enforcement
for many years.

The man provoked me.

I could've done much worse.

I'm sure you could have.

And if I wasn't watchin',

you probably would've
killed that man.

Hardly.
Would you have bit him?

See? That's just crazy.

You would've fed on him
then tossed him aside

like and old chicken bone.

And don't tell me
that's what vampires do.

[WHOOSH SOUND]
[GASP]

I'm doin' my best.

Suckin' the blood
from a police officer

is not mainstreaming.

Neither is hosting orgies

or listening
to crazy Chinese gargling.

It's Tuvan throat singin'.
Whatever.

Tuvan? I don't even know
where that is.

Sookie,
you cannot be frightened

of everything you don't know
in this world.

Well, my world's
openin' up mighty fast.

And what I got
here may be boring,

but it's safe.

And after the past
couple of nights,

safe sounds pretty good
about now.

[¶]
No, thank you.

I can get this door myself.

I won't call on you again.

[¶]

[RATTLING]

[LOUD KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[RATTLING]

Stupid...fuckin'...bitch.

Bring it on, hooker.
I was all-parish in high school.

Boy, I knew there was
some stupid genes in our family,

but you must've
gotten 'em all.

When did you start
dealin' V?

You want some?
You can use it.

Oh, you makin' jokes about it?

You gonna get killed,
you dumb motherfucker.

Is this 'cause I'm sellin' V
or 'cause I sold it

to your sweet
Jason Stackhouse?

Givin' vampire blood
to Jason Stackhouse

is like givin' Ho Ho t.

You know
he can't control himself.

I was very clear
on how to use it.

It ain't my fault
he did listen.

I had to take him
to the ER.

They drained his penis

with a needle
the size of an ice pick.

Twice.

It was the most
disturbing shit

I've ever seen
in my entire life,

and I have seensome pre.

Okay.
He suffered, Lafayette.

Okay.
Bad.

Okay, okay.
I'm sorry, I--

I'll go and check in
on him in the mornin'.

And I know he mean
a lot to you and everything,

but how is comin' up
in my joint at 3ho.

throwin' my shit around
gonna make anything better?

It makes me feel better.
Ow.

Okay.

WOMAN [ON PHONE]:
Shame on you, Adele Stackhouse.

Shame on you.
Who is this?

A vampire is a perversion
ofumanity.

And you, vampire lover,
are perverting our community

by bringing one into the open.

I suggest that you hear
what he has to say

before you take
to lynchin' him.

I don't care
what sort of wretches

you keep in your own home,

but when you bring freaks

and abominations
into our churches

in front of our children,
you will have to...

Well, um, I will be
at the church early

if you would like
to stop by and say hi.

Mr. Compton's talk
starts at 8.

You will go
to hell for this.

All right, same to you.
Bye, now.

Phone's been ringing
early today.

Oh, oh.

Oh, everyone is excited

about meeting
the town vampire tonight.

I didn't hear
you come in last night.

You went to bed early.

You didn't want
to hear me come in.

Well, I just thought
I would give you two

a little privacy
is all.

Am I really that much
of a lost cause,

you gotta pin all your hopes
for me on a vampire?

But he seems like
a very nice man.

Well, he's not.
He's not nice?

Or a man.

Oh, goodness,
did you two have a fight?

No.

Kinda.

I don't think
Bill and I

have very much
in common.

He doesn't think
like we do,

he doesn't feel
the way we do,

if he feels at all.

Well, I know that if I had
a chance to know somebody

who'd experienced
the world differently,

I'd see it as a blessing

and not something
to be scared of.

Or hate.
[PHONE RINGS]

I don't hate him.

I just don't want
to be his girlfriend.

[RINGING CONTINUES]

Uh, the phone's ringin'.

Michelle will pick it up.

[GASPS]
Damn.

Yeah.
Just like that.

And no anesthesia either.

First, I get hauled in
by the cops,

then I gotta let
a dude drain my Johnston.

That's a fuck of the day.

Sounds like it.

Jason, you didn't tell nobody

where you get the V at, did you?

Do I look stupid?

I didn't even let on
I was takin' anything.

You're my dog.
Well, I love you right back.

But listen, you gotta stop
sellin' V, man.

It fucks people up.

I mean, shit,
now Sheriff Dearborne thinks

I'm some kind
of sex maniac.

And hell if know
how I'll ever,

ever be able to look
Tara in the face again.

Well,
she'll get over it.

The girl's been lost
in love with you

since she was 8.

No shit?
No shit.

Oh, man.
That's even worse.

I had no idea.

[SIGHS]

My life sucks
so much ass.

And it's all because
of your fuckin' V.

Listen, don't blame
the Ferrari

just 'cause
your ass can't drive.

You're gonna have to learn
how to ride the high, boyfriend.

Fuck thaI am .

Go fuck some other people up
with that shit.

You broke me.
No, man.

If you can learn
to control it,

V will open up your mind

to everything
you missin' around you.

That's what's gonna snap you
out of all this shit.

More V?

If done right.

I got some in my car...

if you want me to show you.

[¶]

Now, I ain't showin' you
no whole vial

till you learn
how to use this shit right.

You get me?

This...

is the life force
of a vampire.

They're just blood
in a skin casing.

Ain't a whole lot different
between a vampire

and a boudin sausage
except...

for the blood.

Our blood sustains life,

this blood...

is life.

One drop,

that's all you need.

Can't be greedy.

Billions of molecules
of pure, undiluted,

24 karat life.

You take this in
and you take in

a piece of the vampire
it came from.

The trick is, you have
to let it take you deep.

Follow it.

Soak it in.

What kind
of vampire is that?

He's new.

So the blood
is still a little wild.

I can feel him in my muscles

making me strong.

But you might get
another side of him.

The same V could affect you
in a whole other way.

But I guarantee you'll see
the world with new eyes.

[SIGHS]

Christ, I can't believe
I'm doin' this again.

Oh, no, man.

You're doin' it
for the first time.

[GASPS]

That vampire Bill would get
a rise out of that.

You'll have to
ask him yourself.

Vamp club not all
it was made out to be, huh?

A lot of freak .

And people from Arkansas.

It was fine.

So what, then? Did that vampire
get all handsy with you?

Arlene, I can take care
of myself.

And, no, I won't be
goin' out with him again.

Okay, that placewas kinda freak,

but how are you ever gonna know
until you go see for yourself.

I said my piece yesterday.

Well, I'm sorry it didn't
turn out like you'd hoped,

but better it happens now
than before you end up hurt,

or dead.

I hope you're not
too flipped out

to miss the Descendants
of the Glorious Dead tonight.

No, I gotta go.
Gran spent all week on it.

Good, 'cause, uh, I was gonna
ask if you wanna go with me.

Maybe we'll go grab a cup
of coffee or somethin' after.

Are you askin' me out?

Yeah, I am.

That's pretty much
how I do it.

Sometimes they even say yes.

Everyone's lookin' at us.

I know,
you better say yes.

Shoot.

Why not?

Good.

Eyes back on
your food, people.

Sorry about that.

They were all
kind of watery.

No sweat.
Love is in the air, huh?

Uh, I guess.

Even that brother
of yours.

He gettin' serious
with Tara?

Tara who?

Tara, Tara?

Oh, I thought you knew.

If there was any truth to it,
I would.

[THINKING]
There you go, right there.
I knew it.

Tara ain't bangin' Stackhouse.
Bitch lied to me.

Watch your mouth,
Andy Bellefleur.

Didn't say anything.
I know I didn't say anything,

but I did think it.

And you heard it,
that means it's true.

You can hear
what people think.

Let me get you a refill
on that tea.

I need a sweet tea.

Tara here yet?

She just came in.
She's in the ladies' room.

Why didn't you tell me
you were goin' out with Sam?

Because it just happened.
And how did you know?

Arlene, she works fast.

Alls he did was ask me
to the DGD tonight.

It's in a church
for cryin' out loud.

And why shouldn't I?
He's perfectly nice,

and he's got a good job,

and he's not a vampire, and--

Why-why do I have to
justify this to you?

I'm entitled to know
what my girl's up to, ain't I?

Yeah, about that.

Why does Andy Bellefleur think
you're seein' my brother?

I went down to the sheriff's
and gave Jason an alibi.

What'd you do that for?

Because I know he's innocent
and so do you.

And we both know the more time
he spends with the police

the more he's gonna talk
himself into trouble.

Is there something' else
you're not tellin' me?

No.

TARA [THINKING]:
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

What are you doing?

Not every detail
of everyone's personal life

is your business, okay?

Keep that girl away from me.

Hey.

Is everything okay?

Hey, you know,
now that I think of it,

my brother and Tara have kind of
been sneakin' around lately.

It's a shame they feel
they gotta keep it quiet.

[THINKING]
She must think
I'm an idiot,

like I don't know now
she's coverin' for him too.

Shit, don't look her
in the eye.

If you're gonna
accuse me of lyin',

be a man and say it
out loud, for Pete's sake.

Either way,
I'm gonna hear you

whether you look me
in the eye or not.

Let's face it, there's not
a whole lot of ideas in there.

Like mice in a cage.

I know
you're graspin' at straws,

but don't drag
my brother down with you.

Here you go.
MAXINE: Hoyt.

Hoyt.

Ah-ah-ah, hey.

Momma, what are you doin'?

Help Momma get
this thing down.

Get it--?

Our guest of honor
is a vampire.

Adele plumb forgot
that little fact

when she booked
the church for tonight.

What do you think's
gonna happen

when he comes out
and sees a giant cross?

I don't know.

Well, I don't either.

But if he sizzles up
like fatback bacon

in front of everybody

there's not gonna be much
of a meetin', now, is there?

Now come on,
make yourself useful.

Quit jerkin' on it.

[CHUCKLES]
Hi, there, munchkins.

Oh, I reckon you're
the youngest history buffs

we've had
at the DGD.

Yeah, well, they wouldn't
stay home for nothin'.

The minute they heard
a vampire, they had to come.

Well, hello there,
Mayor Norris

Evening, Adele.

Quite a turn out.
Isn't it?

Good thing Myra made
extra ambrosia.

Oh, Andy Bellefleur
will like that.

He's with the Dearbornes.

Look, Lord know why Bud insisted
on wearing his uniform.

NORRIS:
Is our vampire friend here?

In the kitchen waitin'.

I left him with a bottle

of that Tru Blood they like.

NORRIS:
Adele, do you think we've taken
enough precautions?

Against what?

Well, to make sure
everybody's safe.

Ordinarily I wouldn't
pay no mind,

but there's young folks here.

Sterling, we don't have
anything to be frightened of,

Mr. Compton
is a perfect gentleman.

Frankly I am more worried
about what we might do to him.

Uh-huh.

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS]

Momma,
this ain't gonna budge

without a jackhammer
or a blowtorch.

Get down from there,
I got a better idea.

Wow, Gran,
look at all the people.

Isn't it exciting?

Well, Sam Merlotte,
what a nice surprise.

SAM:
When Sookie told me she was
comin' here alone

I thought it would be a shame
if she came without an escort.

GRAN:
Well, how very gentlemanly
of you.

SOOKIE:
Okay, we're sittin' down now.

[CHATTERING]

Hey, girl.
Can we join you?

Hi, Tara.

Sure, come on in.

Could always use
more white people.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[¶]

LAFAYETTE [MEMORY]:
If you can learn
to control it,

V will open up
your mind

to everything
you missin' around you.

There's nothing
but old people.

Man, I thought we were here
for a vampire, not zombies.

Yeah, more like descendants
of the walking dead.

Hey, you assholes
didn't leave

the shit in the pick 'em up,
did you?

[¶]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[WATER RUNNING]

Hey.

Mind if I sit
with you?

Uh, sure,
have a seat.

Hey, guys.

How you feelin'?

Oh, strong.

Alive.

Yeah.

Hey, sit back.

It's okay, relax.

I thought
I was relaxed.

I don't think
you know how.

Welcome.

It certainly is a pleasure

to see so many new faces
here this month.

But Mayor Norris assures me

that there will be
enough ambrosia

and tipsy cake
for everyone.

[CROWD CHUCKLES]

Now, our guest tonight

is a gentleman who,

despite what you might
have heard, is one of us.

His family was among

the first to settle
in Bon Temps

and he bravely fought
for Louisiana,

in the war
for Southern independence.

Let us welcome one
of the original

sons of Bon Temps
back to the town

that he helped build.

I give you First Lieutenant,

William Thomas Compton.

[DOOR OPENS]
[SPORADIC APPLAUSE]

Thank you, Mrs. Stackhouse.

If you'll pardon me
for a moment.

[CROWD GASPS]

As a patriot
of this great nation,

I wouldn't dream of putting
myself before Old Glory.

[CROWD MURMURS]

As you can see,
I did not burst into flames.

[SPORADIC LAUGHTER]

We vampires are not
minions of the devil.

We can stand before a cross,

or a bible,

or in a church,

just as readily
as any other creature of God.

How was I supposed to know?

I am honored to stand
before you tonight.

Vampires have traditionally
been very private,

perhaps to our detriment.

But I believe,
if we reach out to one another,

that we can coexist,

and even thrive together.

I served in
the 28th Louisiana infantry.

Formed in Monroe
in 1862,

under Colonel Henry Gray.

It was there that we learned
the value of human life,

and the ease with which
it can be extinguished.

That son of buck's been
killin' since the 1860s.

Why stop now?

That don't prove anything.

My cousin Terry killed
20 Iraqis in Fallujah.

You sayin' we should
lock him up?

Your cousin Terry
should be locked up.

BILL:
Uneducated as we were,

we knew little
of the political

or ideological conflicts
that had lead to this point.

Momma, he's so white.

No, darlin', we're white.
He's dead.

...but goin' to war
was not a choice for us.

We believed to a man,

that we had
a calling to fulfill.

[DEEP POUNDING]

A destiny handed down
to us from above.

God forbid
should any of our men

become wounded or injured.

Often the only recourse
for a serious injury

was amputation.

[SNICKERS]
More times than I care

to remember,
I had to hold down

one of my fellow soldiers
while the medic took

a saw to his arm
or leg.

We had no anesthesia
at the time.

Apart from a bit of whiskey.
Load it up.

It often seemed that the man
bein' operated upon

suffered more
from his surgery

than he did
from his original wound.

Even if he survived
the amputation,

the chance of subsequent
infection was high.

Fucker.
[BOTH CHORTLE]

WOMAN:
Shh, keep it down.

[STIFLED LAUGHTER]

In the winter months,

the nights could grow
bitter cold.

[SPEECH CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[¶]

My great grandfather
was in the 28th.

I wonder if you might
have known him.

His name was
Tolliver Humphries.

Tolliver Humphries?

Mm-hm.
Yes.

I knew him very well.

We fought together.

Tolliver Humphries
was my friend.

He was a brave man,
perhaps to a fault.

I dare say it contributed
to his death.

What happened?

Were you there?

I was.

We were about 20 miles north
of where I stand now.

[¶]
[COUGHS]

The Federals outnumbered us
5-to-1,

and they had better
firepower as well.

We'd spent much
of the afternoon

recovering the bodies
of those we'd lost.

BOY:
Help me, please!

There was a boy
in our troupe--

No more than 13 or 14.

--who lay wounded in the middle
of a field under poor cover.

He called to us
all day.

He begged us to help him.

He knew he would die
if we didn't.

I admit I considered
shootin' the boy myself

just to shut him up.

Help me, please!
But Tolliver convinced me

that would be an act
of murder, not war.

Hold your fire!

He told me God wanted him
to rescue that boy.

I'll go get him.

I pleaded with him not to go.
No, Tolliver--

To think of his wife
and children back home.

Humphries!
He ran into that field

like it was
a cool spring day.

Please!

[GUNFIRE]
[MOANS]

They shot him
just as he reached the boy.

It was obvious to us
that he was beyond help.

And then,
after a while,

they boy started
screamin' again.

[SCREAMS]

What happened
to the boy?

He lived.

[SNIFFLES]
He survived the day,

and then under cover
of darkness

we retrieved him
later that night,

along with the body
of Tolliver Humphries.

But it seems
that Tolliver was right.

God did look after
his descendants.

[GROANS]

Yes, Mayor Norris.

I've been digging
in the archives this week...

and I found this old tintype.

The inscription
on the back says,

"Mr. W.T. Compton
and family."

Can you tell us
if this is a picture of you?

[¶]

This, um--

This is
a remarkable photograph.

I remember the day we gathered
to have this taken.

When was the last time
you were with them?

When I-I went to war
in 1862.

I--

My human life ended before I had
a chance to come back home.

[SCATTERED WHISPERING]

But you became a--

A vampire after that, right?

Couldn't you go back
to your family then?

No.

No, that wouldn't have bn
possible.

Uh...

Heh. I apologize.

This is not a subject I'm very
comfortable speaking about.

Uh, but thank you
for the photograph, mayor.

Brings back many memories
for me.

Any other questions?

Thank you so much.
Thanks for coming, dear.

[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

They don't understand, man.

None of them
will ever understand.

You stay sharp, brother.

All right.

Could I--?

Would it be possible
to take a d ure with you?

Of course.

You won't vanish
in the photo?

Heh. That's just a myth.

And it's one
I'd be happy to disprove.

Heh-heh.
Oh.

Come around.

All right.

All right.
[CHUCKLING]

Here you are.

Thanks so much.

Hey, great job tonight.

Wasn't he just marvelous?

Yeah, that was--
That was quite a show.

Billy, you remember Sam,
right?

BILLY:
Yes, uh, you're Sookie's
employer.

Ah. Not when we're off-duty.

No, legally you still are.

Well, I just wanted
to congratulate you.

Seems like you've won
everybody over.

Well, some, I hope.

Well, we better get going.

We're gonna grab a cup of coffee
before we call it a night.

Coffee. Sounds delightful.

Good night, Gran.

I'll see ya later.

He seems nice.

Mm.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

Man, this place
is crawling with hot chicks

and we're just sitting here like
our balls are stuck together.

Don't look at me.
My chère is right there.

You want a girl so bad,
you get one yourself. You--

[SCOFFS]

Want another round?

Yeah.

Hey, maybe we should order up
a couple of those Tru Blood's.

Uh?

Well, after meeting at vampire
tonight, don't you wanna try it

and see what it's like?

I go to the dog races.
You see me eating Alpo?

Well, I just thought
he was pretty cool, was all.

Another Dixie Draft?

[¶]

Stackhouse?

Jason.

Huh?
Dixie Draft.

Yup, I'll get it.

I love you guys.

I know.

Another Dixie Draft?

Whoa.
[LOW BUZZING]

You feel that?

Every hair on your arm
shooting sparks into my hand.

You know those electric fences
they use to pen horses?

It feels like
I just pissed on one.

Oh, my God, you are still high.
I'm gonna kill Lafayette.

No, don't.

I'm not high.

Okay, I am high.
But that don't mean

that what I'm feeling
ain't real.

For the first time,
I can see clear.

All these years,
I was blinded by the bullshit

that keeps people apart.

It's you, Tara.

It's been you all along.

Who you think you're talking to?

I've known you
since I was 6 years old.

And it's taken me
all this time to admit it.

Come here.
[GIGGLES]

This bar might be full

with beautiful women,

but you're the one who took care
of me when I needed it.

You showed me love, Tara.

And that's the most beautiful
thing of all.

Come to me when you're sober.

Then we can talk serious.

[INHALES, SIGHS]

Just give me a chance,
I'll prove it to you.

Everything I'm feeling

[SIGHS]

I want to feel it with you.

One chance.

That's all I'm asking.

Last bite's yours.

No, you go ahead.

Here, we'll split it.

Well, I guess you saw this
comin', huh?

What? Tonight?

What makes you say that?

Well, I said
you could listen in,

hear what I'm thinking if you
wanted. You ever even tried?

No, I have, and to be honest,

it's a little weird.

You don't think
the way others do.

Most people, it's whole
sentences or images.

With you, sometimes
there's words,

but other times,
I just get these sounds.

Like, waves of emotions.

I guess I'm just a freak.

I was gonna say mysterious.

How come nobody knows anything
about you?

I never hear you talk about
where you're from,

or your family, or anything.

Yeah, place I'm from,
the people who raised me

got nothing to do with who I am.

And I ended up pretty much
raising myself.

Is that why you spend
so much time alone?

No, I think that's just
'cause I don't like people.

Heh. Come on, no one goes
and opens a bar

if they don't like people.
Well,

maybe I wanted to meet
some pretty waitresses.

Too bad you got yourself
a couple of crazy ones

in the bargain.

Sookie,

t-there's nothing wrong
with you.

I can't understand why
you'd wanna fix or change

or hide anything.

I wouldn't want you
any other way.

You're just trying
to get on my good side.

How am I doing?

[CHUCKLES]

Finish it.

That's yours.

Is there a problem
with my burger?

Just a couple of drunk rednecks,
that's all.

Well, what's their problem?

Oh, come on, now.
It's not worth it.

What did they say?

He said the burger--

What did they say, Arlene?

He said the burger
might have AIDS.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING
ONTEREO]

Lafayette.

I--

Oh, fudge.

[CHATTER]

Excuse me.

Who ordered the hamburger

with AIDS?

[BOTH CHORTLING]

I ordered the hamburger deluxe.

In this restaurant,
a hamburger deluxe

come with french fries,
lettuce, tomato, mayo,

and AIDS!

Do anybody got a problem
with that?

Yeah. I'm an American.

And I got a say
in who makes my food.

Well, baby, it's too late
for that.

Faggots been breeding your cows,

raising your chicken,
even brewing your beer

long before I walked my sexy ass
up in this motherfucker.

Everything on your goddamn table
got AIDS.

You still ain't makin' me eat
no AIDS burger.

Well, all you gotta do is say
"hold the AIDS."

Here.

Eat it.

[GRUNTING]

Whoa!
Bitch, you come in my house,

you gonna eat my food the way
I fucking make it!

Do you understand me?

Tip your waitress.

[LAUGHING]

[HOOTING]

Well, I for one am thankful
you can't hear all my thoughts.

Heh. Why's that?

'Cause then you'd know
what's comin'.

You okay?
Are we going too fast?

No. Uh, n-no.

I-- Maybe.

I don't want to make you do
anything you don't want to do.

No, I do, I do. I do.
Trust me.

Yeah.

I-- I want to.

It's just kind of

too much right now,

and a little too soon since...

Okay. Since what?

Oh, goddamn it, Sookie.

I'm sorry.
I-I'm not used to this.

Should never have gone
to see that damn vampire.

It's not him.

Just stop it.

I just can't go jumping from
kissing one man to the next

so quickly.
You kissed him?

That's none of your business.
What else did you do?

That's really
none of your business.

Is this a contest for you?
Whatever he did,

you have to top it?
Come on, be fair.

You know what's unfair,
is you waiting for someone else

shows an interest before you
decide to kiss me.

Sookie, you have no future
with a vampire.

They don't die. I've got nothing
but a future with one.

Oh, just like Dawn had a future?
Like Maudette Pickens?

Bill did not kill those women.

Listen, there's nothing
that I will not do

to keep that thing
from hurting you.

They're not like us.
They could turn on you.

And people can't?

You're doing pretty good
right now.

[SIGHS]

All right,
I think I best take you home.

You go ahead.

I'll call a cab.

Oh, for crying out loud,
don't be stupid, Sookie.

Get in.

Sookie.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO]

Excuse me.

Whip! Whip!

[CHUCKLES]

What you doing, baby?

Ah, you know, keeping it real.

Partyin'.

Me too. I'm celebratin'.

Oh, heh, yeah?
What's the occasion?

My divorce went through today.

Yeah-hoh!

Hoh-hoh.
That's great.

He was a jerk.
Mm.

He shot my car.

Mm.

Sorry to hear that.
Yeah?

It's like watching
Animal Planet, yeah?

Any second, she gonna
bite his head off, I swear.

[GIGGLES]

So

you wanna help me
forget all about him?

She asked me to come home
with her.

So, what are you doing here,
you?

I said I'd think about it.

Oh. Yeah, you a lost cause.

What? I just didn't feel that--
That spark.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

TARA:
Another Dixie Draft.

Tru Blood, O-negative.

No refunds on that, Hoyt.

Oh. It's-- It's hot.

That's the way it's served:
98.6.

Oh!

That shit is nasty.

Yeah, what'd you expect?
This bullshit is like blood.

I thought it was supposed to be

some sort of life-force
or something.

Ah, Tru Blood don't do nothing.

The real life-force is V.

V?

Vampire blood.
It's illegal.

All our blood
belongs to the universe.

They take some from us,
we take a little from them.

I just say no to drugs,
merci.

Ah, it might give you the will
to seal the deal with that girl.

Only thing holding you back,

[CLICKS TONGUE]

is you.

Heh.

[RENE & JASON CHUCKLING]

Ah, shit. Oh.

[¶]

WOMAN:
Look.

What do you see, son?

BUD:
Mr. Compton?

I'm Bud Dearborne.

Sheriff of Renard Parish.

This here's Detective
Andy Bellefleur.

Bellefleur?

What can I do
for you gentlemen?

We'd like to ask you
a few questions

pertaining to an investigation,

if you don't mind.

Of course.
Won't you come on in?

In to the house?

Please, make yourselves at home.

May I offer you a drink?

No, thank you.

I have Frescas.

You do?

For guests.

Well, I'll have a Fresca.

[WHISPERS]
What the hell are you doing?

He offered.
He's a suspect.

Maybe to you.
We got no evidence.

He's a vampire.

[SIGHS]

[CAN OPENING]

It's a toaster.

For bread.
You put the slices in the end

and then you cook them
over the hearth.

I don't use it anymore,
as I no longer eat.

You said you had some questions
for me.

We're investigating
a couple of homicides

that took place locally
in the past week.

I've heard.

We're you familiar
with either of the victims?

Maudette Pickens
or Dawn Green?

Miss Pickens, no,
but Miss Green,

I believe she worked
over at Sam Merlot's place.

We never spoke, but I saw her.

Were you aware that both had
sexual contact with vampires?

I was not.

But it's more common
than you would think.

You have anybody that can vouch
for your whereabouts

on the night of the 23rd
and 27th?

Tell me sheriff,

were either of these unfortunate
women exsanguinated

when you found them?

Drained of their blood?

If you don't mind my asking.

Uh, that's not information
we're at liberty to share.

[SIGHS]

Because a fresh corpse

full of blood...

Detective, that's something
no vampire could resist.

I dare say, not even I.

Goof thing you weren't there.

And nor was any other vampire.

A vampire would have drained
those girls of every last drop.

How's your Fresca?

It's-- It's a little warm.

I apologize.

I don't own a refrigerator.

Oh, shoot.
I think I forgot my pen.

Leave it.

[¶]

[PANTING]

[PANTING]

Is there anyone inside?

I require help.

I'm a soldier of the 28th
Louisiana Infantry.

I require food and water.

Is there anyone who can help me?

WOMAN:
Do not move.

I will shoot you.

I wasn't even aware
we surrendered.

Word came two weeks ago.

Yeah. We disbanded immediately.

Most of the men
marched back to Monroe,

but I chose to take a shortcut
home by--

By way of these trails.

I overestimated my knowledge
of the land.

You're not far off.

A lake is 10 miles southwest
of here,

Bon Temps is 10 miles south
of that.

My husband was
in the 13th Infantry,

under Colonel Gibson.

He fought at Shiloh.

He used to write to me
every few weeks,

but I haven't heard from him
in nearly seven months.

many of the postal routes
have been disrupted.

I'm sure your letter
simply got lost.

That's kind of you.

But I've considered myself
a widow for some time now.

Still have quite a lot
of blood on you.

[¶]

You're a lucky man,
lieutenant.

I doubt you would've survived
another day without food.

I'm in debt to you
for taking pity on me.

I think,

for your sake,

you best spend the night here...

with me.

I'm--

I'm sorry.

I apologize if I misled you,

but I have a wife and two
small children waiting for me.

And if Bon Temps is as close
as you say it is,

then I'll see them soon,

and I do not wish
to sully our reunion.

You are an honorable man.

The others have not always
been so.

There's been others?

From time to time.

Deserters, mostly.

I offered them a crust of bread
and a place to rest,

and they help appease
my loneliness.

It may not be moral,
lieutenant,

but these are times of war.

I do not judge you.

Your choices are your own,
as are mine.

I wish to continue
on my way home.

You have my gratitude
for your hospitality.

I will not soon forget it.

[GROWLS]

[GASPING]

[SLURPING]

[¶]

The others.

They all presented themselves
as gentlemen.

Can blame the war if you like.

They proved to be no more
than savages

once I let them into my home.

They deserve no better.

[GRUNTS]

Have they died?

Oh, yes.

But I'm not keen to let you go
quite so easily.

I've waited a long time
for a man such as you.

[GASPS]

Drink.

[GASPING]

If you do not drink,
you will die.

Certain as I'm speaking to you
right now.

Do you wish
to see your family again?

Your wife,

your children?

You must drink from me.

[MOANING]

Take me in you.

Feel me in you.

We are together William,
forever.

You are mine.

[¶]

WOMAN:
Look.

You know you can never enter.

Do you wish to see them
grow old?

Grow feeble and die,

while you remain the same
year after year?

They are my family.

They are as good as dead

if they are found
harboring a vampire.

I've brought you here,

and now it's time for us
to go.

Come.

[¶]

[GRUNTS]

[QUIET MOANING]

Oh, my God.

You've got to be kidding me.

[BOTH MOANING]

Oh, hey. Hey, Tara.

This is Randi Sue.

Come join us. It's beautiful.

Fuck you, Stackhouse.

RANDI SUE:
Bitch!

Don't fuck with my hair.

[MOANS]

Don't you dare stop.

[BOTH MOANING]

[CAT MEOWS]
