What are you reading there, Bubba?

Belief auction listings.

I'm buying Inger another car.

I have a car, broker, a very, very good one that you should look into.

Pardon me, but you haven't bought a new car since Nixon was in the White House,

have you?

This is all true. Not for myself, but I have for my various ex -wives and

daughters. Yeah, well, brokers want these.

And they also give guarantees.

And let me enlighten you to something else.

I am not going to sit on those folding chairs for three hours waiting for your

dream car to come up.

Yeah, well, neither am I.

Boz is doing it.

Boz Bishop is buying Inger's new car?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, no, no, no. Big danger.

Why can't you just admit that this is a great idea?

Because it sucks.

That doesn't look good.

255 George 31, joining 3 Mary 14 in pursuit of a private limo, going east on

Friday 5th. Hang on.

255 George 31.

Well, now, there's something you don't see every day.

You've got a license to drive that thing? Hell, I'm not even sure he has a

pulse.

Come on, no feeling.

Grab the trunk.

Hi there.

Come on.

Next, ma 'am.

his knife to the heart. The bite's on the neck, Superficial.

Oh, so this is the murder weapon, huh?

Yeah, that's a replica of a dagger owned by a 15th century Romanian count named

Vlad. Vlad the Impaler? That's that Dracula guy, right?

That's the legend, yeah.

How many of these replicas were made?

Oh, only about two million to date. And you can find them in about 50 gift shops

in town.

Any prints?

Nothing, Zilch.

Let me know if DSU finds anything useful.

I'm in court all afternoon, so Evan's covering this.

Got it.

Let's go talk to our rock and roller.

I have three albums out that have sold over two million copies.

I can't believe you've never heard of me. Sorry.

We don't get out much. No.

Tell me, what exactly happened?

I was rehearsing at the studio, and I stepped outside to take a break, and

big goon grabbed me.

Did you recognize this goon?

You know, I think I recognize him from a goth club I used to play.

Goth club, like a country club?

Goth club, as in Anne Rice, Dracula, puffy shirts.

My first CD was goth. In fact, I played at a big goth club here called the Blood

Club.

Finn, thank God you're okay. Can I get you a doctor or something? Excuse me, do

I need to know you?

My name is Niles Maynard. I'm Miss Riveth's manager. My card.

I'm Cole Niles. These guys saved my ass.

Excuse us, Miles.

We were just leaving. My name is not Miles. My name is Niles. Now, where are

taking? We're on a police investigation, and you're not invited. Why don't you

sit down somewhere nice and make some phone calls somewhere?

Nash, can I talk to you for a second?

Sure, Ronnie.

Would you stay with Finn?

Yes. Thanks. What's up?

The dead bodyguard. His name was Bernie Hall.

He was a North Beach patrol cop on a moonlighting gig.

MCD wants me to investigate.

Why? Well, they want me to determine for the record whether or not he was killed

in the line of duty to see if his family is entitled to full pension benefits.

Oh, man, now that's charming.

Department protocol at its worst. I agree.

Did you just say I agree to me?

Come on, Nash. If we were in the opposite sides of everything, that

much fun. Oh, you want to play knife, eh? Okay, two can play at that game. You

look terrific today.

Oh, calling for the jugular. All right. All right, want to play dirty?

I find your conversation scintillating, and your personality only half as

grating as I first thought.

Taking no prisoners, I see. Hey, baby, I play to win. All right, try this. The

symphony, Saturday.

What do you mean? You and me? Yeah, you and me.

That sounds suspiciously like a date. Oh, no, no, no. We don't have to call it

date. We can call it good music or some scintillating conversation.

I don't think so, but thank you.

Why not?

Well, my history with mixing business and pleasure hasn't exactly been

successful. Well, now, there's something we have in common. My point exactly.

Look, I'm not your fiancé, and this isn't the CIA.

So maybe it's time you get over it.

Being responsible for the death of somebody you really care about, you

just get over it, Nash. You do if you want to get on with your life.

The offer stands if you change your mind.

Yo, yo, yo, Bob, wait a minute. Slow down. Just tell me what's wrong with it.

Well, I'm checking out the frame, and it's bent.

I mean, this baby definitely ain't what you envisioned it to be. You know what

I'm saying?

I'm guessing it's going to leave one pile up, if not two. You know what I

I mean, it's worn and torn as a $3 house.

Well, Inger wants a Volvo, man.

Well, do not despair, amigo.

The boss will take care of you. Plan B, baby.

Well, what's plan B?

Link on, navigate on.

Lincoln Navigator? What Lincoln Navigator?

You better lose your tone, Jones, all right?

Just spanking new edition, all right? Didn't make the catalog.

Oh, you got to see it. Believe it, baby. This baby is fun.

She might go for Lincoln Navigator.

Uh, how much?

Damn. Yo, yo, yo, my battery's dying out on me, bro, all right? I'll call you

later. What? Hello? Hello?

KF. Here's the key, all right?

And the alarm code.

Here's the directions for the walk.

You've got to go in precisely those directions because King, yeah, gets

disoriented and stuff. Watch out for the greyhound that lives at the corner.

King and he do not get along.

And before you let him out that door, make sure he's got his leash on.

Harvey, isn't this your belt?

Harvey,

you're going to be in court for like five hours, not five weeks.

Buddy. As soon as you get back, you got a break.

Oh, my God, I almost forgot.

Here. He's also got to have two of these with his food. But it's got to be his

dry food, which is in a paper bag, you know, like this, next to the washing

machine. I'm forgetting something.

I don't think you forgot anything, Harv. You know what? I'm thinking that maybe

you should get a life. But I'm also thinking that maybe this is the reason

you don't have a life.

If I'm not picked by six, you've got to turn on the radio for him, okay? Because

he suffers from abandonment fears.

All right.

Okay, the next car off is not listed on your catalog. It is a 1997 Lincoln

Navigator. Excellent condition, mere 10 ,000 miles. I've got an opening bid of

$25 ,000 right there in a brightly colored jacket. Now, $26 ,000.

$26 ,000. $26 ,000.

$27 ,000 now. I've got $26 ,000 now.

$27 ,000.

$28 ,000. $27 ,000. $28 ,000.

$27 ,000.

$28 ,000. You're in at $28 ,000. Back to you at $28 ,000. Now $29 ,000. At $28

,000. At $29 ,000. At $28 ,000. At $29 ,000. Is there any interest at $28 ,500?

$28 ,500. At $29 ,000. I got $28 ,500. At $29 ,000. At $29 ,000. At $29 ,000.

$28 ,500. And now $9 ,000.

Going twice, I'm going to advance it.

$29 ,500.

All in and all done.

So, $29 ,000. Let's bring in the next car.

Ladies, how are you?

Fine.

King, King, get back here. Hey, King, King.

Hey, King, come here, come here.

I like that big dog. Aren't you, Sophie?

Yeah. Hi, my name's Evan.

Ursula. Hi.

Hi, pleasure.

Your dog is just beautiful.

What's his name?

My dog?

Yeah. King.

His name's King. Oh, he's beautiful.

Thanks. Thanks.

Her name's Sophie.

I think Sophie likes King.

I think King likes Sophie.

Ever since I learned how to drive.

My brother gave it to me.

Hey, maybe I could use it for my next video.

He's very particular about who drives his car.

Well, maybe I could borrow him, too.

SSPD, we won't be long. Atta boy, thanks.

We want to turn on some lights in here.

I don't think you'd like it any better, Bubba.

They like it dark. It's part of the lifestyle.

Uh -huh.

How wonderful for him.

Let's get to work, get out of here.

Uh, excuse me, uh, I'm looking for a guy with a cat -eye contact, pink through

his cheek, and, uh, serious rabies. Joe, do you know anybody like that?

I hope he's had his shot, Bubba.

That's him.

All right, you park yourself here. Joe?

No, no, no. He's not doing what I think he's doing. But he's going to do it.

Well, unless he turns into a bat, he's not going to be able to do it. Hey!

Mama, hold it right there!

Is

that

a suicide or a very bad judgment?

I'm going to say both.

Hey, Nash, here's the autopsy report from the guy that jumped off the roof.

name was Damien Kenseth. Check this out. He had acrylic incisors.

Acrylic what?

That would be surgically attached fangs.

He also found traces of undigested human blood in his stomach, not his own.

The guy had fake fangs and drank blood.

Guess that's what happens when lawyers marry.

What else you got in here?

Well, this is his stuff from his apartment.

And I mean all the stuff from his apartment. I think the guy lived

Was that his little black book?

Uh, no, apparently this is the mailing list for Bite Mart, a goth newsletter.

Oh, probably the St. Mary's blood bank.

If I'm correct, it was a break -in at St. Mary's about two weeks ago.

Ah, there we go. Evan, get a list of names of the employees and volunteers at

the blood bank. Run them against the names in that book. Maybe Damien had a

friend that was supplying him blood.

You got it.

All right, we'll have somebody here. Yeah.

No, absolutely not. I need him first thing in the morning.

Just do it.

Niles, you better be careful. Your heart's going to attack you.

Hey, hero.

Hey, Finn.

I brought you a gift.

Finn Rivers, which is holiday.

Check out the third song. I think you'll like the lick.

Let me know what you think. Oh, hi. Excuse me. I hate to break up a little

here, but I do need to debrief Ms. Rivers on the incident.

Fine, how about we do it now? No, we can't do it now. I got a studio waiting,

three producers, two engineers, and it costs thousands of dollars. Finn, we

gotta go.

Where's the new bodyguard?

She'll be here first thing in the morning.

She's not leaving here without protection.

I agree.

Nash? Ronnie.

Yes, sir. Yeah, bud.

How would you like some overtime?

Sure.

This guy?

That guy.

No you?

No me.

Ronnie will take very good care of you.

I'll see you.

Come on, Finn.

See you, Carol.

Bye, Ben.

What?

Come on, baby.

It's a Navigato.

This is a Lincoln SUV.

This is a work of art, baby.

Oh, yeah, these blackout windows and these gangster rims. Real work of art.

It's all about telling the world. You know what I'm saying?

I got smart.

I got it. You know what I'm saying?

What's wrong with that?

Come on, baby.

You take it for a test drive, G, you know?

Have I ever steered you wrong?

All right, get out of the way.

What the hell am I doing?

Yeah.

Yo, barely white. I can't have my kid and wife driving around in a pimp

Come on, man. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. All right, you say the word, I'll get it

de -pimpified.

I know people.

Let's take him for a test drive, G.

That was my head exactly.

Yeah.

We got a hit on Damien's newsletter.

A gal named Tantra Gagal. She's a lab assistant at the blood bank.

You got an address?

Yeah, she lives out in the outer Richmond.

Go get her. You got it. Barbie, I'm with you.

I thought you were with Finn.

Yeah, I was told to take a hike.

By whom?

Her manager.

I'll be back.

It's kind of weird, huh?

They actually look kind of cute.

Yeah, well, it's a shame to disturb them.

But... Rise and shine, people.

All right, boys and girls, everybody to the school right where you're at.

Everybody can go back to beddy -byes as soon as we get Tantra.

Ah, the old coffin table trick.

Tantra? Yes.

SFPD, darling.

No, no, no, no, no, no. We need to have a little talk.

Come on, be a cooperative little vampire.

So what do you think?

You think you can convert my car back to stock?

No problem.

Matter of time, that's all.

Time is money.

Why don't you chill, mighty Joe Braham, all right? Look, look, my man Jose here

won't even be slick.

But no brothers acting all shady, looking to rack and sack the man.

All right, you know what I'm saying.

No, what are you saying?

And speak English, not Ebonics.

Look, all he's saying is, you know, don't rip me off.

All we do is quote a price.

You don't like it, we leave.

Okay, I like it. Do it.

Oh, Miss Cross.

I didn't know you were a music lover.

I'm here to do my MCD interview with her, but she seems to be a little tied

I guess she's doing this recording for a charity CD.

She's good.

Well, I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you.

She's just grateful. It's a common phenomenon with protected witnesses.

to catch up with her later.

Great track, Ben.

You really got me

inspired.

Boy, am I warmed up. Let's go get a drink.

I'm on duty watching you, remember?

You will be watching me. I'll be very close.

We've got coffee at the SIU and a great view of the city. That's what I have to

do for now.

Give up the mate.

Do it now or you're dead, man. I'm a cop.

So unless you want to see the afterlife up close and personal, y 'all better

drop those knives right now.

They won't.

Didn't give it. Take this.

Go to the car. Call 911.

Tell them to send two ambulance.

Now? Now.

Oh, my God, you're cut. I think I'll live. Get up.

Well, I'm thinking you're going to have to get a new president for your band

club. You've got to say, is it a commitment to the lifestyle of the

Mm -hmm.

Somebody ought to tell him not everybody looks good in black.

Do we have a doctor here? Sounds like a bioengineered fruit.

Yeah, boss, here's an interrogation. Her name's Valerie Todd.

Tantra Gagal is her latest incarnation.

Open your head.

Oh, Vlad the Impaler tried to cut it off.

We put them in the same cell to go start feeding off each other? No, get hip

with the vampirology, Joe, because you can't feed off the undead.

Oh, excuse me. I spend all my free time in werewolves.

Harvey, check Ms. Rivers' end of six or seven of the top hotels in town. Make it

real splashy. Then call over to Sausalito and book a room in Teddy

at the Cypress Hill B &B.

Norell, do me a favor.

Run over to Del Marcos and grab a hot crab sandwich for Ms. Rivers.

I'll be back.

I'm in your hands, whatever you say, Nash.

Let's go see if we can extract anything out of Tantra.

Frank, what are you doing here?

I'm about to put down your phantom light show, as if it existed.

New work order, sir.

Yeah, thanks.

Hot damn!

Are you turning red or is that the light on you? My arm hurts. Frank, come over

here and sit down. Easy,

easy, easy.

Ronnie, call 911. We got a cardiac case here.

I'll always hear the disco music.

Frank, I want you to just sit there and relax. You're going to be okay.

This has happened before a few times.

A few times?

Like how many times?

Six, seven.

Well, you better hope this is lucky number seven, Bubba.

Paramedics are on their way.

All right.

You forgot to date this.

Drug peddling, solicitation, attempted robbery.

There's an open warrant out for your arrest in New Jersey.

Yeah, yeah. I was hanging out with a bad crowd back then. I was a very confused

girl. Bet you got it all together now, huh?

How'd you like a spell cast on you?

Sure. Can you make me a three -handicapped golfer?

Tell us what you want with Finn Rivers.

I don't know who that is.

Do you want to be locked up? Is that the deal?

Go ahead.

You have no power over me.

I only answer to... To who?

Lothar.

Would that be his first name or his last name?

He is the supreme being.

The one who turned the mirror on me.

Showed me who I really am.

Well, now, this guy sounds like a fascinating fella.

I'd like to talk to him. Where can we find him?

How'd you hurt your hand?

Oh, I got in a knife fight with one of your buddies.

That's the same.

I can make that feel better.

I'll tell you what.

You tell us where we can find him, and I'll give you the bandage for dessert.

I gotta tell you this, man. I'm not one of the strangers you get from family

long. Yeah, you strip away the makeup, the fangs, and the capes, and it's still

about somebody wanting to possess something that doesn't belong to them.

Why Finn?

I mean, of all the celebrities I had to choose from, why her?

Because I'm thinking it's not about celebrity.

It's about blood. That would be Finn's blood.

Well, is she the right vintage?

Something like that. Oh, Harvey, did you book that B &B over in Sausalito? Got

her a room with a view, boss.

Beautiful. Evan, do me a favor.

Go over to the Bay Raven on Baker Street.

That little bookstore?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy that owns it, his name is Walton. Ask him to give you

some stuff on the White Witch legend, immortality, and vampirism.

Supernaturally on it.

Ben.

Topside, boss. Coffee and Caitlin?

Oh, this ought to be interesting.

No, everything is.

So, if I need you to show up at an MCD hearing, I can reach you through your

manager, is that right?

Absolutely.

I'd do anything for Bernie's family.

Just let me know.

So, what's up with you and Nash?

Pardon me?

Something's obviously going on between you guys.

Well, my personal life is not really open for discussion.

This is just between you and me.

I just don't want to go someplace I'm not wanted.

Meaning that you're interested in Nash?

Yeah, I think he could use a good woman.

He's not the type of guy to make a business with pleasure. You ladies

your interview?

Yeah, yeah, my report's all done.

Good. Oh, I think we're way downstream from that.

I'm recommending that Officer Hall's family get full pensions and everything.

Excellent.

Excuse me.

Uh, Penn.

Officer Ronnie's going to keep an eye on you.

We've got to go back down to the blood club.

Why? We're looking for a guy named Lothar. You know anybody named Lothar?

Where would I know him from?

Maybe he can tell us.

Then you can come and tell me.

The very next time I see you.

Really? How am I going to find this Lothar dude? Everybody here looks the

Well, Bubba, there's only one Biggie Wow Wow La La La La.

When we find him, that would be Lothar.

Can I help you?

SFPD. We're looking for Lothar Gandel.

Never heard of him, sir.

Ladies, why don't you go buy yourselves a drink? And your friends, too. On me.

Come on, while we're young, relic.

Is that your wallet?

Hey. Uh, sit down.

Relax.

Lothar Gendel.

That is you, isn't it?

Look, I didn't know if you guys were really cops.

You know, you get a lot of weirdos in here.

Oh, really? I didn't know this.

So what do you want?

Well, now, I'm glad you asked that.

Your fellow bloodsucker, Damien Kinson, he rolled a seven.

We got some of your other bats locked up in a cage.

And Ms. Rivers is in protective custody.

So there's no way you're going to be able to get to her.

So why don't you just cut the crap and tell us what this is all about?

I don't know this person you're referring to.

I have no facts.

I'm just out to have a good time here.

Oh, I got no problem with a good time.

You can paint your face, wear a cape, whatever blows your skirt up.

But nobody can commit murder for any reason.

Thanks for the civics lesson.

Joe, what time is sunrise?

About 6 .30 or so. Why?

Because I'm going to bet you by 7 a .m. one of his vampire geeks turns up in

human form on our side, which means I'll be back to get you before lunch.

Don't take any wooden stakes.

See you right there.

Wasn't that nice of Evan to let us stay warm in his truck?

Oh, it's the least I could do.

Thanks for the cheesecake, too.

My pleasure.

So what kind of work do you do?

I have my own advertising firm.

Really? Don't know, Sophie.

Hey, you know what Mommy does?

Yeah.

You know what?

She hates when I leave the house, so I had to get a job where I could work.

Out of the house.

You're a police officer?

Yeah. I bet that's interesting.

Yeah, you know, it has its moments. You know, my dad was a cop, and I come from

a big family of cops. You know, my brother was a cop, and my uncle was a

well. Hey, you're so cute. Aw, isn't she cute?

You are just adorable, cutie pie.

Listen, do you ever go anywhere without Sophie?

I mean, only if I have to.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, thanks.

Damn it, Nick left the elevator door open.

Why are you here?

You know why I'm here.

I want to, but

I can't do this.

Okay.

So, where can I stay?

How about I make something on the couch for you?

It takes a lot of discipline.

Nash, hello.

Oh, hi. I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to barge in like this. I just, um...

Well, I talked to you and I... I didn't want to do it at work. Well, uh... Okay,

let me just, um, get this out.

I... I didn't mean to scare you off, Nash. See, I just never expected that,

well, you know, anything would happen between us, you know? I mean...

I'm investigating you. It's ridiculous to think that I could feel both ways at

the same time. Am I clear?

No. No, right? I'm not being clear.

Well, you know, we could talk about this later. Okay, but just let me finish.

See, more than anything, I didn't want to give you the wrong idea.

You know,

you don't need to tell me all this now.

I keep finding myself fighting my emotional instincts.

I mean, we both know I'm not the most open person in the world, and, uh...

I don't really know what's going on between my heart and my head.

I just know that I'm really battling it out.

Um... Okay.

Oh, whoops.

I... I thought you were alone.

I could leave you guys alone. No!

No.

No, no, I'll... I'll leave.

Uh, juice?

I'm sorry I barged in like this. You know, it's my fault. I'll just, uh...

I'll go. I'll walk you out. I know the way.

Look, uh, Caitlin.

Caitlin, Caitlin, Caitlin.

Wait.

Whatever it's worth, she slept on the couch.

It doesn't matter.

Hi. You happy now?

Class A, you're promoted.

Oh, well, I will be once my wife approves, you know.

Oh, by the way, we don't need to mention they found five kilos of heroin in the

gas tank, right?

Why are you looking at me like it was my fault?

Uh, you bought the car, man.

For you?

From a police auction?

Man,

you're lucky that's not all they found in this crib, you know what I'm saying?

Besides, Pacho, we cruising now, right?

Huh? That's right. Yeah, we're clean.

Regular or premium?

What do you want, Casper?

Oh, just a moment of your time, baby boo.

To show my appreciation.

Now, is that really the best line you could come up with?

All right, all right, all right. Let me put it this way, baby.

Forget every other man you ever met.

Because I'm about to redefine your chocolate love line.

I think the gas seems to have gone to your head. Maybe I'm just intoxicated by

your beauty.

Hey, isn't that your car?

What?

What?

What?

I turned my back for a second.

A second, G.

You've got some insurance. What's the problem?

The problem is I'm off $4 ,000 for de -pimpifying the car.

The insurance won't cover that.

Well, you know, I know a guy that can give you a strip. Will you just stop

talking, okay?

Because I didn't tell you to mess with the car.

Who cares?

I mean, Ingrid still doesn't have the Volvo that she wanted. She's coming back

for stocking tomorrow. Don't worry. I'll hook you up.

Baby, we are bluntly conversationating about my particular area of expertise

here, locating the impossible.

Let me take care of it.

What happened?

Well, it seems my car had five kilos of black tar hidden in the gas tank.

Which explains the crappy mileage.

And why somebody just stole it.

Don't do my thing, Tony.

I'm not saying nothing.

Captain Bridges, SIU.

Bridges! They took out the bodyguards and they grabbed her.

Who? What?

Finn!

They came out of the blue. They dragged her away. Now she's gone.

I'm going to kill this two -bag.

You know what, Harv? I kind of figured out that I'm not a dog person.

Really? I was going to buy you your own personal leash.

No, no, no. Look, I'm going to tell you the truth. I was using King to, you

know, try to scam on this chick.

Oh, don't even talk to me about it.

No, but here's the beauty of it, right?

I found that I'm really in love with Cassidy and I'm not into the chase

Everett Cortez, you're making a mature decision.

You know, hard things happen.

Boss? Well, we've shined our lights into every vampire hangout in town, no

offense. And every one of Lothar's creatures of the night? Gone. Like they

disappeared. It's like they all left town.

Uh, they haven't left.

They've congregated.

It's a quickening.

A what?

Lothar's little nut cult is a mishmash of vampire, Celtic, Wiccan, and pagan

lore and about a half a dozen other religious fringes.

So what's this ceremony?

Well, let's see. Upon divining the white witch, her spirit shall be passed

through the vessel of life among the father's followers, providing them

youth, beauty, and immortality.

They think Finn's a witch?

Well, what they plan to do is they plan to tap into Finn's veins.

At the stroke of midnight on the first moon of the winter solstice. That would

be tonight.

And that would be 1122 right now.

Uh -huh.

So where are they going to do this, sir?

Be anywhere.

Barb, how many of those tracing pens do you have?

Two, three. Why?

Break them out. Put them online.

We're going to go high tech with these old souls.

All righty.

Oh, my dear.

I wonder what they wear during the summer.

Is it going

to work, Harv? As long as they don't get naked, they ought to leave us right

there.

Okay, let's rock.

You are the White Witch.

The truth.
