Even worse, he escaped.

I don't think she is. She's not Elizabeth.

And you!

I can't believe you could be a part of it.

I don't understand.

Love, please listen to me.

You loved Elizabeth.

That creature in there is not Elizabeth.

I'm back!

Elizabeth!

No, let him go.

It's too late.

Here, please release her.

Do it!

I like that you went with that people.

I hope that she'll be here. She didn't split us up. Let's just worry about

finding her.

We should have stayed together.

Julia?

Where were you, Nick?

You let me die.

It is time you dumped this dinosaur and got yourself a new machine.

This is the second time you're hard -jacked, taking a crash.

Also, you shouldn't be keeping it down on the floor. You're going to kick it

again by accident.

No accident. Sometimes it deserves it.

So you can tell her what's really bugging you, and I know it's not the

Do you want my help with this or not?

Nick.

I see your eyes.

Come on, you look like hell.

That's Julia again, isn't it?

Come on, Nick. You can talk to me. You know I can help.

You know what? I don't think I can afford your prices.

Please.

Can't stop the Corgan.

That's terrible.

No, I appreciate you calling me. I just, how did you get my number?

Of course, yeah, his appointment book.

No, no family that I know of.

I'd be happy to help any way I can.

Sure, I'm on my way.

Derek, the ruling house is screaming for last quarter's reports. I can't send

until you sign.

Well, I can't sign them until I finish reviewing them.

Is that what you really want me to tell them, that you're not done?

Well, tell them Satan hasn't risen to take over the world, so we must be doing

something right.

You should relax a little yourself, too. You're turning into a workaholic.

I am not.

Really? When was the last time you got out of the house for a date?

Well, I...

Dear Grain, Rachel.

Of course you must go.

Is Nick still there with you?

Yeah, I think it's a very good idea.

Call me when you get there.

Good luck.

Patient of Rachel's was found dead up in Crestridge.

They'll need her to ID the body. Nick is going to drive her.

Not very pretty.

Can you confirm that this is Mitchell Taylor?

Yes, ma 'am.

Damnedest thing I've ever seen.

County coroner stumped, too. He says he's never heard anything, even a virus.

Could do this.

We sent a sample on to the CDC just in case.

What can you tell me about this Mr. Taylor?

He grew up just north of here.

Told me he was planning a visit to his hometown, maybe reconnect with some old

friends. Did he have business in Crestridge?

Not that I know of.

Maybe he stopped for gas or something.

Dr. Corrigan, I don't want to invade your doctor -patient privilege, but

the circumstances, I need to ask about his sexual preferences.

Excuse me? He was found in his car naked, and there were definite signs of

recent sexual activity.

Just like the other ones.

The other ones? Two bodies, three weeks, similar circumstances.

Looks like we've got some kind of sick serial killer on our hands here.

Sheriff, seeing as I have a professional stake in this case, I would really like

to help.

Could I have a look at that other file?

Maybe I would find a correlation, some little detail that you might have

overlooked.

Well, we can use all the help we can get.

Frankly, a town this small can't afford to pay someone with your kind of

professional expertise, Doctor, but...

You folks are welcome to hang around and pitch in whatever it takes. Shelton,

show them what we got.

Both victims were male.

Your patient found in his car.

The first was discovered about six days ago in the woods.

Dead about two weeks.

Both had those black eyes.

Both appear to have died during sexual intercourse.

I'm sorry, Sheriff, but Mitchell Taylor having sex in a car is very

uncharacteristic.

Well, maybe he was trying something new.

We should call and update Derek.

Yeah.

I'll get you some food.

After what we just saw?

No, thanks.

You eat. I'll call.

You sure you don't want a doggy bag?

No,

Nick. I'll pass.

Soup still?

What can I get you?

I can recommend the roast beef special.

Try it on myself.

And I'm a vegetarian.

That'd be fine.

I'm Karen.

Something to drink?

Hey, are you okay?

Nick, right?

Your friend. I just heard her call you that.

Sorry, Nick Boyle.

Pleasure to meet you, Nick Boyle.

Anything to drink?

Coffee. Coffee would be fine.

Okay.

Coming right up.

Coagulated blood on the surface of the eyes themselves.

Yeah, and the coroner's report indicates that besides the bleeding from the

eyes, there is no other physical trauma to the body. No heart attack, no stroke,

not another symptom.

It affects me everything you have.

Alex and I will come up in the morning.

Wake up Carter.

I've come back to you

I

thought

you were gone forever.

I need you Carter

Easy, baby.

I went over all the information Rachel sent me, and I think we need to look at

it again.

Rachel, since you seem to have the cooperation of the local police, you and

should try to find out how much more information you can get out of them.

Nick, you and I will examine the site where the first victim was recovered.

Let's go.

Sheriff Marks, please.

If not...

Okay, how about Deputy Shelton? Is he there?

He's only 24.

I was training him to take over my job when I retired.

It looks like he was involved in a rather intense struggle.

There's been bruises on the shoulders.

Those are the same as the other ones.

That's where she pinned him down.

Are you saying a female did this?

As far as I know, that was Shelton's preference.

I can't figure it out.

He bumped iron. He's fanatic about it. There's no woman I know could have held

him down like that.

Was he seen with anyone last night?

Neither were any of the others.

At least no witnesses have come forward yet.

Who's this?

Who are you?

I'm Alex Moreno. Sorry, an associate of mine. She drove up here to help us out.

Well, that's Shelton's fiancée.

At least it was. She left him for a truck driver.

I know what you're thinking, but I'm a step ahead of you. I already had her

checked. She's got airtight alibi.

She's in Hawaii.

Name's Sally.

Sally Rollins.

According to the police report, this is where they found the first victim.

Killed about three weeks ago.

Bruised shoulders.

Same M .O.

Name was David Callaway, 50s, local prospect.

Working by himself?

Yeah, apparently he was a little bit of a loner.

Divorced. No kids, no girlfriend.

According to the sheriff, he had no real friends at all.

This is where they found the body.

Line on his back naked Closing a pile nearby black eyes, but he

wasn't tied up or restrained in any way no It's having consensual effects seems

to start it out that way the rafters, but we're no one Unless we happen to

a camcorder somewhere in the woods Take a look at this

See the pattern

Dead foliage, broken branches, something or someone came through here a hell of

a hurry.

Let's go.

We've got ourselves a mineshaft.

I'd say our prospects are quietly doing some work here.

Definitely a male pelvic bone.

You guys think these were his?

You guys would take a step in the time frame?

Well, the fabric's natural.

Buttons are bone.

Turn of the century or earlier.

You

think

you were the one in need?

Nah. Who would lock someone up and leave the key?

Well, from the look of things, the chamber was sealed shut from the

Probably by a massive explosion.

Check this out.

What's been written?

Ceiling 2.

Well, whatever happened to our friend in here, I don't think he was alone.

And whatever was with him in here when he died, it struck for almost a century,

until a prospect let it out, and it killed him.

Great meal, Karen.

Thanks, Ted.

Staying in town?

No, just a couple more deliveries, and I drive down to Stockton tonight.

See you next week.

Oh, I'll be here.

Tell me, what's special?

Oh, let's see.

The health department hasn't been in all week.

Yeah, and the chef's actually in a good mood tonight.

And you're here.

That's pretty special. Oh, that's very special.

Do you think we could get a positive ID on this cover?

I don't know. It's going to be really tricky, Derek.

You know, a hundred years ago, they didn't dental and medical records the

do today.

Look, let me check municipal records. There must be something about a mine

-in or miners' loss on this mountain.

Do it. Okay. There's got to be a pattern among the current victims.

Something that connects them beyond the cause of death.

Guess I was too young to get married.

Only left it six months.

New Orleans was great, though.

After the divorce, I just wanted out.

You don't miss the city?

Not really.

The harbor.

The waterfront. I really miss that.

I used to go down to the docks and sit and watch the boats for hours.

I'm thinking about maybe quitting here and trying San Francisco.

You know, someplace a little more... Right, right.

Two trips here, three. It's got the best views of the city.

Pier 3.

Yeah, I used to go there all the time.

I remember that.

So you were a Navy SEAL?

Yeah, for three years.

Wow.

Does that mean you can balance a ball on your nose?

Oh, I could never quite master that one.

staring at me again.

Sorry.

You just looked like someone I used to know.

She's dead now.

Her name was Julia.

You blame yourself, don't you?

It shows, huh?

I was pretty scared out when I met her.

Disconnected.

I didn't really care about anything.

She helped me.

She'd been through the same sort of thing, and she taught me to forget,

me to focus on what's really important.

In a way, she saved my life.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to return the favor.

It's going to sound strange, but when I first met you, I felt this emptiness.

Understand it now.

Kind of like looking in a mirror.

I, um... I just need...

No problem.

It's been a difficult day.

I really should help Alex.

Because he's going to be up all night working.

You should get some sleep.

I'll help Alex.

I'm just going to close my eyes for a few minutes.

This damn thing, it's always sticking.

Let me have a try.

I, um, would be kind of shocking for a small -town girl to take a man home

she's only known him for two days, right?

I guess that it does a real stir.

Then again, I'm not really a small -town girl.

Maybe we should take it slow.

That's unique.

Well, Skye should get speeding tickets when it comes to relationships.

I'd really like to walk you home, though.

Oh, right.

Now that's floating with temptation.

Yeah, anyway, it's only a couple blocks away, and boring old Crestridge is still

one of those places where it's safe for a woman to walk at night.

So I'll go.

Well, I'll stop by tomorrow night and check out the special.

Absolutely, yeah.

Wednesday is all you can eat.

Mad cow serving first night.

I'm there.

Oh, man.

Rachel,

your patient was a widow, right?

Yeah. And the prospector was divorced, a well -known recluse. And the deputy had

a broken heart.

All lonely men.

Yes. We could be dealing with a succubus. A female demon who preys on

And assuming it has been entombed in its mind for over a hundred years, it's

going to have developed a terrible hunger.

The condition of the eyes is even more baffling in person than they appear in

the photographs.

And there is no physical trauma, I don't think, that could cause anything like

this and still leave the eyes intact.

Okay.

Nothing here.

We're just running into a lot of dead ends.

Maybe Nick's got something.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just overslept.

We didn't see much of you last night.

No, you didn't need me. I was kind of busy.

By yourself?

With a waitress from the coffee shop.

Have you become personally involved with her?

Oh, we've been hanging around a little bit, but it's no big deal.

Well, except that, like every woman in town, save present company, she's a

suspect. Why can't she just be a woman, Derek?

Hey, Nick, you know Derek's right.

You can't do this job if you're not the patched objective.

Yeah, okay. All right, I'll grill her. I'll get fingerprints.

Nick!

I have to screw in a light bulb.

Tell me.

Just one. Nick holds the bulb while the rest of the world revolves around him.

Very funny.

Better check out his waitress.

I move out into the middle of nowhere to get away from my man troubles and end

up meeting the nicest guy.

Sometimes chance works in your favor.

You know, don't you, we could have passed each other a hundred times in a

city and never even noticed.

I would have noticed.

I guarantee it.

I guess you'll be leaving soon, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

You know, Nick, I was thinking about what you said last night, and I don't

maybe we don't have time to move so slow.

Karen Morgan, my first time left.

What did you find?

Nothing, and I mean nothing. I think she might be the only person in this

country without a driver's license, no DMV record.

No tax record, state, federal?

I just talked to the manager at the coffee shop.

Karen Morgan's only been working there less than three weeks, and as far as he

knows, she just blew into town from nowhere.

Just after the first murder.

Is she at the coffee shop now? No.

Where's Nick?

Will you wait?

He must be Nick's friend.

Where is he? He's resting.

Wait!

Nick, are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Actually, I feel great.

Where's Karen?

She's gone.

Vanished.

Maria, is that you?

Sorry, my name's Karen.

God, you look so much like a girl I used to know.

I can't believe it.

Yeah, I get that all the time.

It's going to sound like a bit of a come on, but can I buy you a drink?

She's like a vampire.

With each victim, she gains more power.

Give me your keys. You're no shape to drive.

She was entombed for over a hundred years.

She feeds to sustain her immortality.

We need to go someplace where she can be completely anonymous.

The city.

San Francisco.

Right.

Rachel and Alex have gone on ahead.

The big question is, why are you still alive?

Maybe he likes me.

Don't underestimate her emotions.

Her attraction to you makes her vulnerable, but it also makes her

dangerous.

Great.

I finally find someone I like being with, and she ends up being a

from hell.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I love you.

And I want you to love me more.

I know you care about me.

I can feel it. You're a murderer.

Cold -blooded.

Don't you see, Nick?

I've chosen you.

I can change you so we can be together forever.

I can be her for you and so much more.

If you like, I can feed you with my strength and we can live forever.

Poppy!

Are you sure you want me to?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I don't know if you changed your mind.

Tell me.

You dropped out?

It's been so long.

You've been lonely.

I can tell.

You control your emotions well.

I like that.

We're going to stop you.

You must know that.

You think so?

You think you're chasing me?

i don't have to make love to you to kill you you know i can do it anytime i want

this time you live next time you won't now you let nick know i'm doing this for

him you'll understand

She got right past our security.

She is so fast.

And she actually can turn herself into any woman she chooses.

Or worse, she can make a man think that she's any woman who means something

special to him.

For a moment, I was totally in her grip.

Anything? I'm still checking the database, but there are several

the last 300 years, including one in Crestridge in 1893.

A woman was killed in a mine explosion.

It's her.

We'll need an element of surprise if we're ever going to get her.

Let's go. We have a lot to do.

Maybe she is some creature sent from hell.

But you know what, Rachel?

She gave me Julia back.

Even if it was only an illusion.

Who?

The dad of Julia you still have.

Isn't this a creature that made her real?

It's what's inside of you, Nick.

Julia still lives in your heart.

She said we're not looking, Karen.

It's hard to remember that it's not Julia.

No, no, it's not easy, Nick.

But you're strong.

You just have to separate what's real from what's not.

Or else you will lose Julia.

I knew you'd come.

You remembered.

Period three.

How could I forget?

You were right.

This view is beautiful.

Yeah.

I didn't interrupt anything.

A murder, for instance.

That hurts me, Nick.

Talk.

I am what I am, Nick.

I do what I have to do to survive.

You're a murderer.

But I'm not a monster.

I love you, Nick.

I want to be with you.

And I know you want me too.

Don't you?

Yes, I do.

Do you love me?

Do you care?

I love you, Karen.

You're not feeling anything.

No, I'm not.

What are you doing?

Nick. Nick!

Take me over!

Nick, help me.

Nick, don't let them kill you.

You're not Julia.

When Julia was alive, I was never sure about my feelings for her.

Strange that the loss of someone makes you realize their importance too late.

Now, in a sense, death validates living.

Letting go of someone finally brings you to the realization just how close you

really were.
