1
00:00:03,170 --> 00:00:05,435
<i>Mick St. John, thank
you for joining us tonight.</i>

2
00:00:05,606 --> 00:00:07,074
<i>You're welcome.</i>

3
00:00:07,241 --> 00:00:09,039
<i>So, what's it like
being a vampire?</i>

4
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:13,103
Being a vampire sucks.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,374
It's a bad joke, I
know, but it's the truth.

6
00:00:15,549 --> 00:00:16,710
So you drink blood?

7
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:19,216
Why, are you offering?
I'm just kidding.

8
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:20,479
Yeah, I have a guy.

9
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,918
- You mean like a dealer?
- Yeah, like a dealer.

10
00:00:23,123 --> 00:00:26,321
- So you never bite anybody?
- No, no.

11
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:27,961
Unless they really ask for it.

12
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:32,065
- You sleep in a coffin?
- No, that's an old wives' tale.

13
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:34,224
I sleep in a freezer.

14
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:37,633
And while we're on the
subject, garlic is tasty on pizza.

15
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:41,673
- Does it repel you?
- Repels my dates sometimes.

16
00:00:41,842 --> 00:00:43,811
Toss holy water
on me, I get wet.

17
00:00:43,977 --> 00:00:46,503
Crucifixes? Okay, if
you like that kind of thing.

18
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:49,581
Oh, and I definitely
can't turn into a bat.

19
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:51,513
That'd be cool
though, wouldn't it?

20
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:52,798
What about daylight?

21
00:00:52,953 --> 00:00:55,616
Daylight's not good.
Daylight's not good.

22
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:57,916
The longer I'm in the
sun, the worse I feel.

23
00:00:58,091 --> 00:01:00,583
- You don't burst into flames?
- Not if I can help it.

24
00:01:00,761 --> 00:01:03,321
How do you kill a vampire?
Wooden stake, I'm guessing.

25
00:01:03,497 --> 00:01:07,457
No, a wooden stake won't kill a vampire.
Flamethrower would kill a vampire.

26
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:10,798
Or we can lose our
head. I mean, literally.

27
00:01:10,971 --> 00:01:13,167
Other than that, we heal.

28
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:16,434
You seem like a very nice guy,
but don't vampires kill people?

29
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:19,375
Most vampires don't have
boundaries or rules, but I do.

30
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:21,980
I don't hunt women,
I don't hunt children.

31
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:25,608
I don't hunt innocents, but there's
predators who need to be dealt with.

32
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:28,789
Is that why you became
a private investigator?

33
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:30,822
It's a way to use
my special abilities.

34
00:01:30,991 --> 00:01:33,153
Any advice for the vampire
wannabes out there?

35
00:01:33,327 --> 00:01:36,627
Yeah. Stay out of my way.

36
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:39,863
<i>I often wonder what
it would be like...</i>

37
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:42,628
<i>if I had the opportunity
to explain myself.</i>

38
00:01:44,071 --> 00:01:46,506
<i>But that's just a fantasy.</i>

39
00:01:47,207 --> 00:01:49,301
<i>Here's the reality.</i>

40
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:51,342
<i>You sleep alone.</i>

41
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:55,076
<i>You keep your secrets hidden.</i>

42
00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:59,681
<i>Oh, yeah, and here's what
a dinner party looks like.</i>

43
00:02:01,722 --> 00:02:03,315
<i>I know. I know.</i>

44
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:05,220
<i>Everyone says
they're open-minded.</i>

45
00:02:05,392 --> 00:02:08,760
<i>Everyone tries to accept people
who are different from them.</i>

46
00:02:08,929 --> 00:02:15,802
<i>But the truth is, people don't react well
when they find out that you're undead.</i>

47
00:02:17,037 --> 00:02:19,871
<i>And the other thing
you've got to deal with?</i>

48
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:25,409
<i>When you live forever, the
past always catches up with you.</i>

49
00:02:26,913 --> 00:02:30,509
<i>Like all good detective
stories, this one starts with a girl.</i>

50
00:02:30,684 --> 00:02:35,122
<i>A promising life cut tragically
short. Tonight, a killer is on the loose.</i>

51
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:39,622
<i>Well, technically, two girls,
and one of them is already dead.</i>

52
00:02:39,826 --> 00:02:42,057
This is Beth Turner
for Buzzwire. Cut.

53
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:45,361
- Really, I was okay?
- Yeah, total Amanpour.

54
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:47,898
No one would even know
it was your first webcast.

55
00:02:48,068 --> 00:02:51,266
- We gotta get a shot of the body.
- Cops won't let anyone get close.

56
00:02:51,438 --> 00:02:53,532
I'm not leaving
without my money shot.

57
00:02:53,707 --> 00:02:55,266
- God, did I just say that?
- Yes.

58
00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:58,241
- I've become a news whore overnight.
- Not overnight.

59
00:02:58,412 --> 00:02:59,539
Lieutenant Carl.

60
00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:04,578
- Carl, what can you tell me?
- Let's see, Beth, nothing.

61
00:03:04,751 --> 00:03:06,310
Come on, I was first on scene.

62
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:09,854
Who fed you the location
on the 710 Freeway shooter?

63
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:14,792
All right, fine. We think she's
a Hearst College student.

64
00:03:14,961 --> 00:03:18,420
She had their mascot tattooed on
a very discreet part of her anatomy.

65
00:03:18,598 --> 00:03:19,930
Front or back?

66
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,592
Not these guys. Get
these cameras out of here.

67
00:03:23,170 --> 00:03:25,765
Get these cameras out of here, move it.
- Lieutenant...

68
00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:28,134
<i>When you've been
around as long as I have...</i>

69
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:30,777
<i>you think that nothing
can surprise you anymore.</i>

70
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:32,913
<i>But that was before tonight.</i>

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,447
<i>Before I saw her
walking barefoot...</i>

72
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:38,278
<i>through a freezing
fountain at 2 in the morning.</i>

73
00:03:56,303 --> 00:03:57,703
Beth.

74
00:03:57,938 --> 00:03:59,531
Step away from the body.

75
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:07,837
"Murder on Melrose." No.

76
00:04:08,415 --> 00:04:12,409
"Southland student slain." Eh.

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,157
Vampire. Something
with "vampire" in it.

78
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,498
Do I know you?

79
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:31,229
You tell me.

80
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:36,805
- You're a cop, right?
- No.

81
00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:39,208
- Reporter?
- Nope.

82
00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:42,080
We've met before.
You look very familiar.

83
00:04:42,249 --> 00:04:44,946
Well, maybe I've just
got one of those faces.

84
00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:47,547
Okay.

85
00:04:49,222 --> 00:04:50,884
Question: What
do you like better?

86
00:04:51,758 --> 00:04:56,492
- "Vampire slaying rocks L.A..."
- There's no such thing as vampires.

87
00:04:57,898 --> 00:05:00,959
I don't think the girl in
the fountain would agree.

88
00:05:01,168 --> 00:05:02,864
I mean...

89
00:05:24,191 --> 00:05:25,682
Come on, Beth. The body's gone.

90
00:05:25,859 --> 00:05:27,452
Cops packed up hours ago, okay?

91
00:05:27,627 --> 00:05:30,153
- What are we doing here?
- Looking for the girl's car.

92
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:32,298
Right, how do we
know she didn't walk?

93
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:34,900
Nobody walks in L.A.

94
00:05:35,101 --> 00:05:38,868
Here we go. "Hearst
College parking permit."

95
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:48,845
Did you get any good photos?

96
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,314
Oh, yeah, Doug. I'm
looking at it right here.

97
00:05:51,484 --> 00:05:53,510
I need you to check
on that parking decal.

98
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:57,385
- I can't deal right now.
- Don't worry about it. I'll call them.

99
00:05:58,191 --> 00:06:01,218
Two hundred thousand unique
visitors on your vampire story...

100
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:03,522
and we posted less
than 24 hours ago.

101
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:05,097
The vampire angle was genius.

102
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:07,860
- Did you come up with that?
- Yeah, it just came to me.

103
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:09,127
Very nice.

104
00:06:09,336 --> 00:06:11,168
Get me some science
on this, an expert.

105
00:06:11,338 --> 00:06:13,898
Now, I wanna blow this
thing up. Make it seem real.

106
00:06:14,074 --> 00:06:17,408
Are there "vampires" among
us? I'm letting you run with this.

107
00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:18,703
What's your next move?

108
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,678
Steve got the dead girl's
address from her parking permit.

109
00:06:21,848 --> 00:06:23,908
- I think I'll look around.
- Don't think, go.

110
00:06:24,084 --> 00:06:25,677
Mama needs fresh content.

111
00:06:30,657 --> 00:06:34,185
You don't get to change the rules of
the game after the game has started.

112
00:06:34,361 --> 00:06:37,354
And that goes for your silent
South American partners too.

113
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:38,862
My position is simple.

114
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:42,400
Okay, I'm short the Shanghai
A-shares and that was a guaranteed deal.

115
00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:45,198
Guaranteed. Hey, buddy,
let me get rid of this guy.

116
00:06:45,372 --> 00:06:49,400
<i>My best friend Josef. One
of the oldest vampires in L.A.</i>

117
00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:51,703
<i>Four hundred going on 30.</i>

118
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:52,937
<i>Living...</i>

119
00:06:53,113 --> 00:06:56,811
<i>Well, unliving proof that
paranoia never goes out of style.</i>

120
00:06:57,050 --> 00:07:00,214
Any default and I would not be
sleeping so snugly if I were you.

121
00:07:00,687 --> 00:07:02,918
These people are
unbelievable. No integrity.

122
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:06,764
Oh, you don't like veiled
threats? Then how about this?

123
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:09,228
Screw me, and I will
personally come down there...

124
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:11,057
and cut your heart out, okay?

125
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,233
It's the only thing
they understand.

126
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:16,468
Oh, well, that sounds good.

127
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:18,569
And my best to the family.

128
00:07:19,606 --> 00:07:22,735
You look good. Been
working out? Little bit, huh?

129
00:07:22,909 --> 00:07:24,002
Have you seen the news?

130
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:26,805
This terrible thing in West
Hollywood? It's everywhere.

131
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,246
- "Vampire slaying rocks L.A."
- Yeah, it doesn't look good for us.

132
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:33,284
It's a threat to our secrecy.
What is this, the 1720s?

133
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:36,981
We don't leave bodies lying around.
Now we have to be extra vigilant.

134
00:07:37,157 --> 00:07:39,683
We live in an age of
fingerprint scans, DNA tests...

135
00:07:39,859 --> 00:07:41,987
- Josef, relax.
- I am relaxed.

136
00:07:42,162 --> 00:07:44,461
This is relaxed. You're only 90.

137
00:07:44,664 --> 00:07:47,793
You've never been chased by
a torch-bearing mob. Hungry?

138
00:07:48,768 --> 00:07:51,465
- Would you care for a liquid refreshment?
- No, thank you.

139
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:56,099
Are you sure? She's
delicious. '82 was a good year.

140
00:07:56,276 --> 00:07:58,472
Oh, we went to the
Super Bowl in '82, right?

141
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:01,137
Lost a million bucks on
Cincinnati that year, right?

142
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:02,612
- Except for that.
- Yeah.

143
00:08:02,782 --> 00:08:06,776
You're fooling yourself if you think
you can exist on that retail blood forever.

144
00:08:06,953 --> 00:08:08,888
- I do all right.
- Yeah, for now.

145
00:08:09,122 --> 00:08:10,784
You're fighting a losing battle.

146
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:14,894
Okay? Sooner or later, your inner
vampire is gonna demand to be fed.

147
00:08:15,562 --> 00:08:16,655
And then what?

148
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,796
- Goodbye, Josef.
- Goodbye.

149
00:08:35,048 --> 00:08:40,351
<i>My guy at the morgue, Guillermo,
deals in information and blood.</i>

150
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:43,783
<i>Tonight, I needed both.</i>

151
00:08:45,158 --> 00:08:48,595
- Hey, Mick, what can I do you for?
- Drinking on the job?

152
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:50,763
- Forty or six-pack?
- Give me a sixer.

153
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:53,832
Oh, thirsty boy, huh?

154
00:08:56,836 --> 00:08:59,362
I don't know why you like
this A-positive so much.

155
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:02,065
The O-positive has
got a much better finish.

156
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:05,007
I wanna see the girl they
found at the design center.

157
00:09:05,178 --> 00:09:06,703
Yeah, I figured you would.

158
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,721
- There's no smell of vampire on her.
- I noticed.

159
00:09:16,923 --> 00:09:19,586
- Carotid artery's been severed.
- How much blood loss?

160
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:22,820
She exsanguinated. At 40
percent loss, the heart stops.

161
00:09:23,029 --> 00:09:25,123
A vampire would
have drained her.

162
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:27,630
Those aren't bite
marks. They're too clean.

163
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:29,894
Plus there's impact
trauma around the wound.

164
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:33,529
- Her neck was punctured by something.
- Call me if you get anything else.

165
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:36,403
Oh, yeah, yeah. Because
I work for you, right?

166
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:42,447
<i>I didn't intend to
end up a do-gooder.</i>

167
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:44,777
<i>For the longest time, I
was like most people.</i>

168
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:46,977
<i>Just kind of looking
out for myself.</i>

169
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:51,248
<i>Then 22 years ago, I took a
case that changed my life forever.</i>

170
00:09:57,730 --> 00:10:01,462
Mr. St. John? Please, help me.

171
00:10:01,634 --> 00:10:03,102
Someone took my daughter.

172
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:06,262
<i>Some cases really
sucker-punch you.</i>

173
00:10:06,473 --> 00:10:10,103
<i>You think you know what
you're getting into, then, wham.</i>

174
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:14,941
The police have nothing.
It's been two days.

175
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:24,853
<i>Whether it's a missing
child or a murdered coed...</i>

176
00:10:25,024 --> 00:10:27,289
<i>victims always leave a trail.</i>

177
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:29,258
<i>You just have to find it.</i>

178
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:34,489
<i>The cops had been at the dead
girl's apartment since morning.</i>

179
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:40,129
<i>I'd been waiting since 6.
Looks like I wasn't the only one.</i>

180
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:34,186
Ouch.

181
00:11:38,831 --> 00:11:41,528
- You were at the crime scene.
- Easy with the Mace, okay?

182
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,567
- Stay back.
- I'm not gonna hurt you.

183
00:11:43,770 --> 00:11:45,068
You're not gonna hurt me?

184
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:49,141
- How do I know you're not the killer?
- Well, because I'm not killing you.

185
00:11:50,009 --> 00:11:52,410
Okay, if you're
not the killer...

186
00:11:52,579 --> 00:11:54,912
And let's go with that
because that's comforting.

187
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:56,344
What are you doing here?

188
00:11:56,516 --> 00:11:59,577
- I'm a private investigator.
- Let me see your credentials.

189
00:12:03,156 --> 00:12:05,091
"Mick St. John"?

190
00:12:08,361 --> 00:12:09,590
Who are you working for?

191
00:12:09,762 --> 00:12:12,391
Falls under my client
confidentiality agreement.

192
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:15,091
Don't you wanna know
who I am and what I'm doing?

193
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:18,466
You're Beth Turner.
You work for Buzzwire.

194
00:12:18,705 --> 00:12:20,139
It's entertaining.

195
00:12:20,306 --> 00:12:22,241
Excuse me, it's not
just entertainment.

196
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:24,274
It's hard-hitting,
investigative...

197
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:27,208
- Okay, a bit of sleaze.
- Probably the best.

198
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:29,474
- Best what?
- Thing they have.

199
00:12:29,682 --> 00:12:32,083
Oh, thanks.

200
00:12:38,491 --> 00:12:39,925
Let me see.

201
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:43,828
I saw something just
like it in the victim's car.

202
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:50,259
Look, same exact thing.
I've been researching it.

203
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:53,770
Egyptian hieroglyphic. The
insignia for an ancient blood cult.

204
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:56,670
Right. Blood cult.

205
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:58,334
So we're talking vampires?

206
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,107
I know, they don't exist.

207
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:04,410
But something has to explain
all the killing and the goth-o-rama.

208
00:13:04,584 --> 00:13:06,951
I mean, obviously, she
had a thing for vampires.

209
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,022
Yeah, I guess
they're back in style.

210
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:12,618
Some people actually
find them attractive.

211
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:15,761
- Really?
- Yeah.

212
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:20,593
- What is it?
- Blood.

213
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,701
We should get
that to the police.

214
00:13:24,737 --> 00:13:25,796
Hey, honey.

215
00:13:26,372 --> 00:13:29,342
Josh, I'm in the middle of
something. Can I call you back?

216
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:31,774
Okay. Bye.

217
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:35,977
Stop doing that.

218
00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:42,850
<i>Nine out of 10 murders, the
killer is someone the victim knew.</i>

219
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:46,186
<i>That's why I wasn't about
to miss Kelly Foster's funeral.</i>

220
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:49,124
<i>Too bad funerals always
take place during the day.</i>

221
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:54,393
<i>That glance in the grave
always puts everyone on edge.</i>

222
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:59,062
<i>But when it's murder,
keep your eyes open.</i>

223
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,665
<i>You're gonna see
more than just tears.</i>

224
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:05,975
Thank you.

225
00:14:16,222 --> 00:14:18,054
Thanks for ditching
me the other night.

226
00:14:18,291 --> 00:14:21,352
I knew you'd be all
right. You're resourceful.

227
00:14:21,561 --> 00:14:24,554
Kelly was a bright
and promising student...

228
00:14:24,731 --> 00:14:26,222
and we all mourn her loss.

229
00:14:26,733 --> 00:14:30,363
Christian Ellis, he was Kelly's
social-anthropology professor.

230
00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:34,530
We inhabit our physical bodies
for what we call a lifetime...

231
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:36,676
but death holds no dominion.

232
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:41,541
Kelly Foster lives
as our sister in blood.

233
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:43,910
I'm guessing the emos
with the black roses...

234
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:46,552
are part of his Mythology
Studies program.

235
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:49,188
- Did your homework.
- Which I am sharing with you.

236
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:51,586
Your turn. Where's
the blood vial?

237
00:14:51,824 --> 00:14:54,760
You took a vial of blood
from Kelly's apartment.

238
00:14:54,927 --> 00:14:56,623
I want it.

239
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:05,631
Son of a bitch!

240
00:15:05,872 --> 00:15:07,966
Chloe, Chloe, Chloe.

241
00:15:08,141 --> 00:15:09,200
Hey, hey.

242
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:12,743
- We still love you, you know that.
- Oh, shut up.

243
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,772
<i>A whiff of fresh blood on the
air, blood I'd smelled before.</i>

244
00:15:16,983 --> 00:15:20,943
- You okay?
- I'm okay.

245
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:24,721
Lot of angry people.

246
00:15:24,891 --> 00:15:27,827
- Angry people make good suspects.
- And dangerous ones.

247
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:29,895
Don't worry, I'll
look out for you.

248
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:32,588
We should divvy them up.
Two can cover more ground.

249
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:34,563
I work alone.

250
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,497
A girl's dead. I'm
not letting this go.

251
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:41,732
- You're kind of pushy, aren't you?
- You'll get used to it.

252
00:15:41,908 --> 00:15:46,744
Start with the professor.
I'll take his young attacker.

253
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,940
Wait, what about my vial?

254
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:53,449
Get it to the police so
they can analyze it...

255
00:15:53,653 --> 00:15:55,485
find out whose blood it is.

256
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:07,829
It's the professor's.

257
00:16:22,415 --> 00:16:24,884
<i>What's going on with you
and Professor Ellis, Chloe?</i>

258
00:16:25,051 --> 00:16:26,144
<i>What do you mean?</i>

259
00:16:26,319 --> 00:16:29,187
<i>Well, you tried slicing the
guy open at the funeral today.</i>

260
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:30,687
<i>Christian's a Svengali.</i>

261
00:16:30,857 --> 00:16:33,656
<i>He, like, brainwashed Kelly
with all this literary crap...</i>

262
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:38,025
<i>about vampires and
sex and dark desires.</i>

263
00:16:38,197 --> 00:16:40,860
<i>- He runs a vampire study
group.</i> BETH: <i>Study group?</i>

264
00:16:41,067 --> 00:16:42,296
It's a cult.

265
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:44,562
- What goes on there?
- The usual clichés.

266
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:47,740
Chanting, candles,
blood drinking.

267
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:50,535
- They drink blood?
- Oh, yeah.

268
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:54,238
- Christian thinks he's a vampire.
- A real vampire?

269
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,214
A lot of girls believe him.
He's got a lot of disciples.

270
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:01,978
- Were you a disciple?
- Yeah, I was in.

271
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:06,250
In fact, I was the one who
told Kelly she should join.

272
00:17:07,226 --> 00:17:10,492
- Big mistake that was.
- What happened?

273
00:17:11,898 --> 00:17:15,835
She was all over Christian.
Totally fed into his crap.

274
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:19,767
- And you didn't?
- Yeah, I did.

275
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:24,902
He's really powerful, seductive.

276
00:17:25,111 --> 00:17:26,841
Makes you feel special.

277
00:17:27,013 --> 00:17:29,847
- But you weren't?
- No.

278
00:17:30,349 --> 00:17:35,219
- And that made you jealous of Kelly?
- Yeah, and pissed off.

279
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:39,758
And, no, I didn't kill her, if
that's what you wanna know.

280
00:17:41,727 --> 00:17:46,358
Go write your stupid little
vampire story someplace else.

281
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:59,476
<i>When I was turned into a vampire,
all my senses were heightened to 1 1.</i>

282
00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:01,910
For God's sakes, you're
giving me a headache.

283
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,949
<i>I'm able to smell the
past, glimpse the future.</i>

284
00:18:05,117 --> 00:18:08,884
- Not now, I have class.
- Oh, when should we discuss this?

285
00:18:09,055 --> 00:18:11,422
When another one of your
students turns up dead?

286
00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:14,719
<i>I can hear a marriage going down
the drain from a hundred yards.</i>

287
00:18:14,894 --> 00:18:18,092
- I had nothing to do with that.
- Is that what we're telling people?

288
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:20,665
You tell them whatever
the hell you want.

289
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:47,119
Hi. Is Professor
Ellis home, please?

290
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,194
- He's not here.
- Oh.

291
00:18:49,362 --> 00:18:51,957
I'm sorry to disturb you.
I didn't mean to bother.

292
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:54,100
Something I can help
you with, Mister...?

293
00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:56,758
St. John. Mick St. John.
I'm a private investigator.

294
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:02,066
- This is about the dead girl.
- Yes, I'm looking into the case.

295
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:06,101
This must be very difficult for you.
How about I come back another time?

296
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:08,709
What do you wanna know?

297
00:19:10,216 --> 00:19:14,813
There was a time when
Christian was a serious academic.

298
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:18,617
He has a Ph.D. in
Mythological Anthropology.

299
00:19:18,791 --> 00:19:22,956
He published every year.
But now he has other interests.

300
00:19:23,129 --> 00:19:24,995
Like Kelly Foster?

301
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:27,634
Among others.

302
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,167
These girls are so young
and impressionable.

303
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,401
- I used to be that way myself.
- Me too.

304
00:19:33,639 --> 00:19:38,600
Christian can be very
charming, like a snake.

305
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:40,579
Oh, he's a vampire, by the way.

306
00:19:40,746 --> 00:19:42,908
- I don't know if you knew that.
- I did not.

307
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:46,552
At least that's what he tells
them when he seduces them...

308
00:19:46,719 --> 00:19:48,483
in the basement
of Chandler Hall.

309
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:53,716
Mrs. Ellis, do you think your
husband killed Kelly Foster?

310
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:58,420
- The girl had a bite in her neck, right?
- Right.

311
00:19:58,664 --> 00:20:00,963
He's the only vampire I know.

312
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:08,565
We have all fed on blood.
Every one of you in this room.

313
00:20:08,774 --> 00:20:11,266
Everyone on this earth.

314
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:15,876
In the womb, our
first meal is blood.

315
00:20:16,248 --> 00:20:18,717
We feed in darkness.

316
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:20,314
There is no time.

317
00:20:21,454 --> 00:20:23,446
There is no life.
There is no death.

318
00:20:24,123 --> 00:20:26,922
It is a perfect world.

319
00:20:27,093 --> 00:20:29,324
Seemingly everlasting.

320
00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:34,767
Until we are ripped from
the womb into daylight.

321
00:20:35,701 --> 00:20:38,933
When we are born,
that paradise is lost...

322
00:20:39,138 --> 00:20:43,599
and we spend the rest of our
days trying to find our way back.

323
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:47,941
Back to that perfect world
of blood and darkness.

324
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:51,149
That's enough for tonight.

325
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:55,344
But remember to take this truth
with you to your everyday lives.

326
00:20:55,588 --> 00:21:00,322
We are all vampires,
every last one of us.

327
00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:03,427
I will see you all next week.

328
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:11,696
- That was an amazing lecture.
- Thank you.

329
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:15,171
Hey, I'm Kate Nelson. I just
transferred down from Berkeley.

330
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:17,134
Welcome.

331
00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:20,211
I read your book, <i>The
Mythology of Darkness.</i>

332
00:21:20,379 --> 00:21:23,838
Well, that's more than I can
say for a lot of my students.

333
00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:28,612
I think it's really interesting, the
vampire as metaphor for desire.

334
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:32,281
The thirst for blood is
symbolic of a deeper hunger.

335
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,791
A hunger to connect.

336
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:37,391
You did read my book, huh?

337
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,962
Do you think I could
audit your class?

338
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:43,898
Well, my lectures are pretty popular,
but I'm sure we can squeeze you in.

339
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:45,798
Thanks, I really appreciate it.

340
00:21:46,005 --> 00:21:47,473
I know I'm a month behind.

341
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,578
Is there a syllabus I could get
started on or some way to catch me up?

342
00:21:55,581 --> 00:22:00,212
Well, I do have a study group for
some of my more motivated students.

343
00:22:00,419 --> 00:22:01,682
I'm really motivated.

344
00:22:02,721 --> 00:22:04,519
Daniel?

345
00:22:05,491 --> 00:22:07,187
This is Daniel, my TA.

346
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,227
- Daniel, this is Kate...
- Nelson.

347
00:22:10,429 --> 00:22:12,728
Kate Nelson, I'm sorry.

348
00:22:12,898 --> 00:22:15,367
- Would you take down her information?
- Sure.

349
00:22:15,534 --> 00:22:17,059
I have to get going.

350
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:24,333
- Hi. Study group, huh?
- Sounds intriguing.

351
00:22:24,510 --> 00:22:27,070
- So how do we get ahold of you?
- 310...

352
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:37,113
<i>Somewhere in the city,
a killer is on the loose.</i>

353
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:40,121
<i>Josef wants me to hunt
him to keep our secret safe.</i>

354
00:22:40,326 --> 00:22:43,228
<i>I just wanna make sure
he doesn't do it again.</i>

355
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:47,594
<i>You don't have to be a
vampire to get a taste for blood.</i>

356
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:06,779
- You startled me.
- I'm Mick St. John.

357
00:23:06,986 --> 00:23:10,923
Right. My wife mentioned
you came by the house.

358
00:23:11,590 --> 00:23:13,718
You're looking into
Kelly Foster's death.

359
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,657
Murder.

360
00:23:16,061 --> 00:23:18,121
Do you mind if I ask
who you're working for?

361
00:23:18,297 --> 00:23:20,163
I'm working for Kelly.

362
00:23:20,766 --> 00:23:23,292
Well, then I wanna
help in any way I can.

363
00:23:23,469 --> 00:23:25,233
She was an extraordinary girl.

364
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:28,969
And I... I truly cared for her.

365
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:30,904
So there was a relationship?

366
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:34,672
I already told the police
everything. I have nothing to hide.

367
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,907
If I did, do you think
I'd be talking to you?

368
00:23:40,986 --> 00:23:47,187
That piece is over 500 years
old, from the reign of Sigismund I.

369
00:23:47,426 --> 00:23:50,123
The sign of Velnius, a
Lithuanian vampire god.

370
00:23:50,296 --> 00:23:52,128
Vampire god, huh?

371
00:23:52,298 --> 00:23:56,167
That's interesting. Kelly Foster showed
up dead with two bite marks in her neck.

372
00:23:56,335 --> 00:23:59,271
Someone's trying to make it look
as if I had something to do with it.

373
00:23:59,438 --> 00:24:01,839
Because you keep telling
people you're a vampire.

374
00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:04,510
- I am a vampire.
- Really?

375
00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:08,772
Well, not in the way most commonly
portrayed in dime-store novels.

376
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:12,612
When people hear the word "vampire,"
they immediately conjure up an image...

377
00:24:12,785 --> 00:24:15,778
of some undead monstrosity
running around at night...

378
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:17,514
trying to drink human blood.

379
00:24:18,557 --> 00:24:19,650
I hate that.

380
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:23,227
A real vampire is simply a
person born with the ability...

381
00:24:23,429 --> 00:24:26,160
to absorb and
manipulate pranic energy.

382
00:24:26,332 --> 00:24:29,200
<i>- "Prana"</i> is a Hindi word meaning...
- Life force.

383
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:30,700
Yes, very good.

384
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:33,963
Real vampires have a
critical energy imbalance.

385
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:36,642
So we must seek out
pranic energy and absorb it.

386
00:24:36,842 --> 00:24:40,074
Couldn't you just have a
double espresso or something?

387
00:24:40,646 --> 00:24:43,241
Fresh blood has a very
high pranic-energy content.

388
00:24:43,449 --> 00:24:45,748
Hence, the blood
link to vampires.

389
00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:48,079
But when done correctly,
a pranic ceremony...

390
00:24:48,253 --> 00:24:50,722
can have salutary effects
for both participants.

391
00:24:50,889 --> 00:24:54,087
So tell me something, professor.
Do the salutary effects kick in...

392
00:24:54,259 --> 00:24:57,491
before or after the
sex with your students?

393
00:24:58,764 --> 00:25:01,393
I think we're through talking.

394
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,061
Oh, thanks.

395
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:07,900
If one of the killers you put
away wanted to get even...

396
00:25:08,073 --> 00:25:11,066
they'd wait for the cochinita
pibil to go on special.

397
00:25:11,243 --> 00:25:12,734
"Vampire slaying rocks L.A."?

398
00:25:12,911 --> 00:25:15,676
- Publicity spawns tips, Carl.
- Yeah, and copycats.

399
00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:17,510
Don't be mad, I
gave you the vial.

400
00:25:17,683 --> 00:25:20,346
- And it's inadmissible.
- Did you have it analyzed?

401
00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:23,750
Was it from a person of interest?
The professor of darkness?

402
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:27,124
- You have his DNA on file?
- Look, he volunteered.

403
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:29,784
- A DNA swab during his first interview.
- Cooperative.

404
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:32,464
Yeah, that's what they
always want you to think.

405
00:25:32,631 --> 00:25:36,068
- What do you have on Chloe Jones?
- You talked to her?

406
00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:38,294
- She seems a little edgy.
- She should be.

407
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,371
We found a stalking harassment
complaint filed against her.

408
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:43,270
- Filed by?
- Kelly Foster.

409
00:25:43,509 --> 00:25:45,137
Chloe said they
were best friends.

410
00:25:45,310 --> 00:25:47,939
Were. We found a blood
pendant in Chloe's apartment.

411
00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:50,139
They were both sleeping
with the professor.

412
00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:51,783
Come on, threesomes
never end well.

413
00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:53,248
- Huh?
- Don't ask.

414
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,431
It's about time you got back.

415
00:26:09,301 --> 00:26:12,135
- Make yourself at home.
- I did, and poured myself a drink.

416
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:16,967
You seriously drink this stuff? What
is it, like, nonfat, soy vegan blood?

417
00:26:17,142 --> 00:26:18,319
- If you don't like it...
- I didn't say that.

418
00:26:18,343 --> 00:26:19,902
- Are you sure?
- Get out of here.

419
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,310
I assume you don't
have any freshies around?

420
00:26:22,548 --> 00:26:23,777
Yeah, of course not.

421
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:26,281
Am I supposed to know
why you're here, Josef?

422
00:26:26,819 --> 00:26:31,189
<i>It is possible that there is a core
truth behind the vampire myth.</i>

423
00:26:31,356 --> 00:26:35,020
<i>Perhaps there are people with
certain genetic predispositions...</i>

424
00:26:35,194 --> 00:26:38,790
<i>who actually could
require and digest blood.</i>

425
00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:41,925
The vampire experts. Beautiful.

426
00:26:42,101 --> 00:26:44,263
We got the food mouthing
off about the farmer.

427
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:45,699
The whole city is talking.

428
00:26:45,871 --> 00:26:48,033
You wanna know what
they're talking about? Us.

429
00:26:48,207 --> 00:26:50,972
- So it's a slow news day.
- No, that's not it.

430
00:26:51,143 --> 00:26:54,545
It's the reporter from Buzzwire.
She started this killer-vampire thing.

431
00:26:54,713 --> 00:26:56,477
- A Beth somebody.
- Turner.

432
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:58,948
You know her?

433
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:01,310
We did some breaking
and entering together.

434
00:27:01,487 --> 00:27:04,514
- Well, you must get her to stop.
- What do you mean?

435
00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:06,852
Like she's driving along
and her car explodes?

436
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:10,120
I was thinking you ask her
nicely, but fielder's choice.

437
00:27:10,329 --> 00:27:13,390
- Killer's not a vampire, Josef.
- There were bite marks.

438
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:15,693
- Two stab wounds.
- What, and the blood?

439
00:27:15,868 --> 00:27:18,804
Well, you hit an artery, you're
bound to get some of that.

440
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:21,133
You're telling me some
poseur drinking blood...

441
00:27:21,306 --> 00:27:23,468
out of a Snoop Dogg
chalice is behind this?

442
00:27:23,642 --> 00:27:25,338
- Yeah, something like that.
- Hm.

443
00:27:25,511 --> 00:27:28,709
- Why haven't you killed him?
- There's more than one suspect.

444
00:27:28,881 --> 00:27:31,407
So kill them all.
That's what I would do.

445
00:27:31,617 --> 00:27:36,180
Hey, look, I know you have morals
and scruples and that's fine, sort of.

446
00:27:36,355 --> 00:27:38,688
But you're not the man
I pretend to respect...

447
00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:41,349
if you don't get
this under control.

448
00:27:41,927 --> 00:27:44,328
Hey, you have a soft
spot for the mortal ones.

449
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:48,433
A fascination with things they do while
listening to the tick of their own demise.

450
00:27:48,634 --> 00:27:50,034
Fine, everyone needs a hobby.

451
00:27:50,202 --> 00:27:54,333
People aren't gonna suddenly believe in
vampires because of a Buzzwire article.

452
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:56,236
Are you willing
to take that risk?

453
00:27:56,408 --> 00:28:00,539
If everyone has vampires on their
mind, suddenly things get noticed.

454
00:28:00,712 --> 00:28:03,375
- We get noticed.
- I said I'm on this.

455
00:28:03,582 --> 00:28:05,676
Good. If that reporter
finds out who we are...

456
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:08,719
she gets a Pulitzer, we
join the list of extinct species.

457
00:28:08,887 --> 00:28:12,551
- We're on the same side.
- Sorry, not questioning your loyalties.

458
00:28:12,758 --> 00:28:14,386
- Yeah, good.
- Yeah.

459
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,654
Vampire solidarity,
rah-rah-rah and all that.

460
00:28:16,862 --> 00:28:20,526
Don't forget, I'm your only friend who
doesn't like you just for your money.

461
00:28:20,732 --> 00:28:23,725
That's true. Sad, but true.

462
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,680
We're closed.

463
00:28:41,186 --> 00:28:43,382
Oh, it's you.

464
00:28:44,089 --> 00:28:45,250
That's not funny.

465
00:28:45,991 --> 00:28:48,483
Why are you wearing
that stupid thing, anyway?

466
00:28:50,128 --> 00:28:53,257
Take it off. You're really
starting to freak me out.

467
00:28:54,099 --> 00:28:55,192
Did you hear me?

468
00:29:02,274 --> 00:29:03,765
<i>Relationships are complicated.</i>

469
00:29:04,443 --> 00:29:08,710
<i>Vampire or mortal, that's
one thing we have in common.</i>

470
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:19,418
Yeah, yeah.

471
00:29:21,126 --> 00:29:22,992
Okay, here's what
I don't understand.

472
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:26,623
I'm fine. How are you?

473
00:29:26,798 --> 00:29:29,131
How did you know the
blood was the professor's?

474
00:29:29,334 --> 00:29:31,599
- You're saying it wasn't?
- No, it was.

475
00:29:31,803 --> 00:29:34,773
He gave the police a DNA
sample and it matched.

476
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:37,671
So you must have a source
in the department, right?

477
00:29:37,843 --> 00:29:39,744
No, but obviously, you do.

478
00:29:43,382 --> 00:29:47,444
So, what did you
find out about Chloe?

479
00:29:47,886 --> 00:29:50,446
She's got a few
anger-management issues.

480
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:52,056
Turns out our murder victim...

481
00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:55,352
got a restraining order against
her a couple months ago.

482
00:29:55,994 --> 00:29:58,190
What's her deal? The
professor toss her aside?

483
00:29:58,363 --> 00:30:00,025
Yeah, but murder?

484
00:30:01,199 --> 00:30:03,065
Check her out.

485
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:06,966
- Let me know what you think.
- Okay.

486
00:30:08,206 --> 00:30:11,665
- What about the wife?
- Well, she knows her husband's a snake.

487
00:30:11,843 --> 00:30:14,836
- The professor...
- What?

488
00:30:15,047 --> 00:30:17,141
- He thinks he's a vampire.
- Yeah, I know.

489
00:30:17,316 --> 00:30:19,842
- I attended his so-called class.
- You what?

490
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:22,647
I also managed to wrangle
an invite to his study group.

491
00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:26,858
- That's not a good idea.
- What are they gonna do?

492
00:30:27,025 --> 00:30:29,187
Kill a newcomer
to get extra credit?

493
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:32,922
I just think you should be careful.
Don't let the professor get you alone.

494
00:30:33,098 --> 00:30:34,828
I'll be careful.

495
00:30:35,734 --> 00:30:37,202
Good.

496
00:30:41,206 --> 00:30:46,338
You look so familiar. Are you
sure we haven't met before?

497
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:49,242
- Yeah, twice now.
- No, someplace else.

498
00:30:51,416 --> 00:30:52,543
I guess I've just got...

499
00:30:52,751 --> 00:30:55,550
One of those faces.
I know, you said.

500
00:30:58,824 --> 00:31:00,452
I should go.

501
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,400
<i>Sometimes, the past
doesn't just catch up with you.</i>

502
00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:21,204
<i>It haunts you.</i>

503
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:25,783
<i>It makes you think
about your choices.</i>

504
00:31:25,984 --> 00:31:27,782
<i>On that night, 22 years ago...</i>

505
00:31:27,986 --> 00:31:29,079
It's all right.

506
00:31:29,254 --> 00:31:30,620
<i>I followed a trail.</i>

507
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:32,724
I'm here. It's all right.

508
00:31:32,924 --> 00:31:34,449
<i>Found the girl.</i>

509
00:31:34,626 --> 00:31:38,290
<i>And came face to face with the
woman who'd made me a monster.</i>

510
00:31:38,497 --> 00:31:39,965
<i>Coraline.</i>

511
00:31:44,603 --> 00:31:46,162
I knew you would come.

512
00:31:48,473 --> 00:31:49,907
Here we are, Mick.

513
00:31:50,876 --> 00:31:53,744
Finally, one happy family.

514
00:31:58,150 --> 00:32:01,086
<i>Forever is a long time
with an ex-wife like mine.</i>

515
00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:05,823
<i>That's right. With new
details constantly...</i>

516
00:32:05,991 --> 00:32:08,620
You're taking a long
time putting that mike on.

517
00:32:08,794 --> 00:32:11,161
I'm just trying to get
it exactly right here.

518
00:32:11,329 --> 00:32:12,854
Does that include feeling me up?

519
00:32:13,031 --> 00:32:15,091
You're going into the
vampire's lair, okay?

520
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:17,634
- I wanna make sure this mike works.
- I'll be fine.

521
00:32:17,803 --> 00:32:18,998
I don't know about that.

522
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:23,108
So exclusive infiltration of
a college sex-and-blood cult.

523
00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:25,267
Man, this story just
keeps getting better.

524
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:27,970
A girl's dead. This
is an important story.

525
00:32:28,180 --> 00:32:30,308
Yeah, doesn't
mean we can't milk it.

526
00:32:30,482 --> 00:32:33,111
There goes a real humanitarian.

527
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:52,562
Chloe?

528
00:32:58,043 --> 00:32:59,705
Chloe?

529
00:33:00,846 --> 00:33:02,474
Chloe.

530
00:33:11,056 --> 00:33:12,752
Beth.

531
00:33:31,076 --> 00:33:35,946
- Where are we going, exactly?
- Don't worry, it's all part of the ritual.

532
00:33:36,114 --> 00:33:38,015
Ritual? I thought it
was a study group.

533
00:33:38,183 --> 00:33:41,051
Yeah. You'll see.

534
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:49,183
Seriously? The
ritual's in a boiler room?

535
00:33:50,495 --> 00:33:52,507
<i>Hi, you've reached Beth Turner.</i>

536
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:54,261
<i>I'm unable to answer
your call right now...</i>

537
00:33:54,432 --> 00:33:57,891
<i>so please leave a message, and
I'll get back to you as soon as I can.</i>

538
00:34:02,841 --> 00:34:05,310
The spiritual, sexual vampire...

539
00:34:05,477 --> 00:34:08,447
lurks between the
lines of Sanskrit tablets.

540
00:34:08,613 --> 00:34:11,947
Numerous cultures of
antiquity believed that blood...

541
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:16,485
was the vital element in the
lovemaking and life-giving process.

542
00:34:16,655 --> 00:34:20,456
All these ancient texts can be
categorized in a number of ways.

543
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:24,824
But what's most important to
us is the spirit of these texts.

544
00:34:24,996 --> 00:34:26,157
Not the letter.

545
00:34:27,098 --> 00:34:28,157
Hi, Kate.

546
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:32,100
So the ancient tantric practice
of using sexual intercourse...

547
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:37,971
to transform one's sexual energy
into blissful consciousness...

548
00:34:38,143 --> 00:34:40,271
speaks to that issue perfectly.

549
00:34:42,347 --> 00:34:44,543
Well, I think that's
enough for tonight.

550
00:34:45,183 --> 00:34:46,879
I will see you all next week.

551
00:34:48,954 --> 00:34:52,015
<i>Blood is my life
and my life is blood.</i>

552
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:55,490
<i>Born into light,
we seek the dark.</i>

553
00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:57,356
Thank you.

554
00:35:00,565 --> 00:35:02,534
Kate.

555
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:04,201
I'm so glad you could make it.

556
00:35:04,369 --> 00:35:06,531
Seems I missed it. I thought
I was to be here at 11.

557
00:35:06,705 --> 00:35:08,367
Well, this is your
first session...

558
00:35:08,573 --> 00:35:11,737
and I like to get a little
one-on-one time with my students.

559
00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:15,506
- Okay.
- So let's go back and talk.

560
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,080
Don't be shy.

561
00:35:29,561 --> 00:35:32,053
Hold out your hands above mine.

562
00:35:33,665 --> 00:35:35,566
Right above mine.

563
00:35:36,001 --> 00:35:37,902
Just like that.

564
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:42,364
We are only now rediscovering
what the ancients knew.

565
00:35:42,574 --> 00:35:47,103
We are simply energy. We
both radiate and absorb it.

566
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:51,305
Concentrate on your hands.

567
00:35:53,385 --> 00:35:55,320
Do you feel that?

568
00:35:55,620 --> 00:35:57,714
Uh, maybe.

569
00:36:00,191 --> 00:36:02,717
It takes a little practice.

570
00:36:02,894 --> 00:36:04,089
Close your eyes...

571
00:36:06,064 --> 00:36:08,056
and concentrate.

572
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:11,327
Feel your yonic
energy balancing mine.

573
00:36:12,904 --> 00:36:18,036
You do this long enough and
our hearts will synchronize.

574
00:36:20,445 --> 00:36:24,143
Are you kidding me?
This actually works for you?

575
00:36:24,783 --> 00:36:26,217
What do you have under there?

576
00:36:26,384 --> 00:36:27,477
Huh?

577
00:36:27,652 --> 00:36:30,622
- What do you have under there?
- Get your hands off me.

578
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:32,382
Get off.

579
00:36:33,925 --> 00:36:36,918
Are you recording this?
Who are you? Answer me.

580
00:36:39,898 --> 00:36:42,732
Where's the
recorder? Give it to me.

581
00:36:50,175 --> 00:36:51,939
Kate, you all right?
What happened?

582
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:54,602
I need to call the police.
Do you have a cell phone?

583
00:36:54,779 --> 00:36:55,872
Yeah, in my car.

584
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:23,641
- Where is she?
- Who?

585
00:37:23,842 --> 00:37:27,506
- Your new student, where is she?
- No idea.

586
00:37:28,213 --> 00:37:29,943
What do you think...?

587
00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:33,109
I don't have a lot of time.

588
00:37:38,857 --> 00:37:42,624
I know she was here,
man. I can smell her on you.

589
00:37:42,827 --> 00:37:45,126
And you're gonna
tell me where she is.

590
00:37:45,330 --> 00:37:47,356
She just left.

591
00:37:48,066 --> 00:37:50,433
But you can't be real.

592
00:37:51,202 --> 00:37:52,636
That's right, professor.

593
00:37:52,804 --> 00:37:55,569
Because there's no
such things as vampires.

594
00:38:06,351 --> 00:38:09,549
- Why are you doing this?
- You wouldn't understand.

595
00:38:09,754 --> 00:38:11,723
- I might.
- Christian's a prophet.

596
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:15,051
His teachings reveal the truth
about our vital pranic energy.

597
00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:17,593
We must absorb this
energy, preserve it.

598
00:38:17,829 --> 00:38:19,058
Not waste it on women.

599
00:38:23,835 --> 00:38:27,101
Without these distractions,
Christian can fulfill his true destiny.

600
00:38:27,272 --> 00:38:28,740
- What destiny?
- Hey, hey.

601
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:28,664
I'm not gonna let you hurt her.

602
00:39:47,418 --> 00:39:49,080
You shouldn't have done that.

603
00:40:04,502 --> 00:40:06,130
Everything's gonna be all right.

604
00:40:07,672 --> 00:40:09,937
- You're not gonna do this.
- It'll work, Mick.

605
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:12,076
You, me and baby.

606
00:40:12,277 --> 00:40:14,678
No, I'm not gonna
let you hurt that girl.

607
00:40:16,981 --> 00:40:18,472
I can't let you.

608
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:19,837
Come on.

609
00:41:21,379 --> 00:41:22,847
I'm gonna take you home.

610
00:41:25,950 --> 00:41:27,851
Good girl.

611
00:41:58,316 --> 00:42:01,912
<i>The last time I held her in
my arms, she was only a child.</i>

612
00:42:02,086 --> 00:42:05,989
<i>Over the years, I tried to
stay close, just out of sight.</i>

613
00:42:06,190 --> 00:42:10,252
<i>In case she needed
me. And tonight, she did.</i>

614
00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:13,730
It's all right.

615
00:42:13,898 --> 00:42:17,460
- You're with me.
- You saved me.

616
00:42:17,702 --> 00:42:20,399
From a graduate student
in Mythological Studies.

617
00:42:21,072 --> 00:42:23,974
- Didn't exactly take Superman.
- No, that's not what I meant.

618
00:42:25,243 --> 00:42:27,576
I mean, when I was little.

619
00:42:27,779 --> 00:42:29,008
When I was taken.

620
00:42:29,781 --> 00:42:32,114
You got a really nasty
bump on your head tonight.

621
00:42:32,283 --> 00:42:34,718
- You probably just need to...
- He stabbed you.

622
00:42:36,421 --> 00:42:39,152
- He sure tried.
- I saw the knife come out.

623
00:42:43,528 --> 00:42:44,791
You need to get some rest.

624
00:42:46,531 --> 00:42:49,000
I'm gonna take you home. Okay?

625
00:42:52,670 --> 00:42:56,539
<i>Sixty years is a long time to
deny yourself the touch of another.</i>

626
00:42:58,543 --> 00:43:00,171
<i>But you do it.</i>

627
00:43:00,344 --> 00:43:02,336
<i>Because you just
can't bear the thought...</i>

628
00:43:02,513 --> 00:43:05,642
<i>of seeing yourself as a
monster in someone else's eyes.</i>
