you

Well, you're an evil-hearted woman, and you're said as evil all the time.

And you're said as evil all the time.

Well, when you can't do evil, you almost lose your mind.

Well, you and the devil walk side by

side.

You're a music lover, right?

Yeah. As soon as I saw you, I could tell.

You know, he used to sing on street corners.

Yeah.

I remember him when I was just a kid.

Yeah? Yeah.

You're real easy to talk to, do you know that?

Yeah.

Hey.

You come here often?

Whenever I want some ass.

Wow, that's kind of frightening, huh?

I get a lot of sensual energy from it.

You mean it's sexy?

Yeah.

I think he sculpts dead.

Is that sexy?

That depends on your point of view.

Susan.

Oh. I'm glad you came.

Hi, Carl.

Have you all met?

We've met, but we haven't been introduced.

This is Susan Ritter.

And her husband.

How do you know that we're married?

I'm Diane.

Diane, would you like a drink?

Yes.

Excuse us.

Lee, I'd like one too.

Sure.

Who is she, Diane?

Good customer.

Oh, you've cut yourself.

Oh, that's not me.

What do you mean it's not you?

It's from a cat.

I found him in the street bleeding and I couldn't just leave him there, so I took

care of him.

Tell me about her.

I'd rather talk about you.

Well, how is he?

He's all right.

Hey.

I like you.

Well, in the daytime you bury your body deep down in the Mississippi moon.

At night you feast your eyes on the sweetness of human blood.

Guess what, honey?

Diane has invited us to her desert place for the weekend.

Oh, I'd love to have both of you.

Well, Susie will love it. She's crazy about the sun.

Oh, you'll have all the sun you can handle.

Sounds cool, huh?

How's the water?

What do you want?

Just passing through.

Good, because this tub isn't big enough for both of us. Come on, move over and

make some room.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm still waiting for that drink.

What drink?

Oh, so that's it.

I forgot. So what's so wrong with that?

She's pretty, isn't she?

Susan, I only talked to her.

She probably has a great body.

Yeah, she probably has.

Well, you'll have a chance to find out, won't you?

All right, I'll tell you what.

We'll forget the whole thing and we'll stay home.

You're sure we took the right turn?

Check the map yourself.

I don't know. I thought it looked different than this. More like Palm

Springs.

We haven't passed a car in miles.

I don't know what to tell you.

How about some service?

Sorry, can't help you.

All I want is some gas.

I don't give gas.

Look, is it such a big deal to get some gas around here?

Look, man, I'm a mechanic.

I mean, I'm a trained person.

And trained people don't give gas.

Oh, shit.

You got a real smartass over there.

Give me a couple of bucks worth.

Pretty deserted around here, huh?

The way the desert is.

Well, I'm looking for a house that belongs to Diane... What's her last

name, honey? How should I know?

Well, there can't be that many people around here.

You know the house?

Cash or charge?

Charge.

Can't you tell us how to get there dead ahead then the first right

I

Hope the desert doesn't do that to everybody

I knew we shouldn't have come.

Well, there's plenty of sun. You can help your tan along.

I don't know. Maybe I should start back.

No, don't.

Why not?

It's too far.

Hear it?

A car.

Now, you're sure Amos will tow the car in?

Out here in the desert. We help each other.

It'll be taken care of.

How did you know where we were?

Just luck. Well, the important thing is that you found us.

I'm sorry, I don't care for any.

I'll have Juan fix you a salad.

Oh, come on, Susie, taste it.

I don't care for steak tartare.

Well, how can you tell if you haven't tried?

Lee, I have tried it. I just don't like the taste of raw meat.

Susan doesn't have to eat something she doesn't like.

Juan will fix you a salad.

Thank you, Diane.

You're right on time.

Always for a few bills.

Follow me.

Have you ever driven a dune buggy?

No, but I'd like to try.

No two are alike.

Take mine.

It's slow getting started.

At first it takes a little manipulation.

But once it's warmed up, it really comes alive.

Then you have to watch out.

It's hard to control.

Yeah.

You have to give in.

And then you feel like it's driving you as you move in rhythm with it.

Up and down.

In and out.

Through the dunes.

Diane.

I think I'd like to drive your buggy.

I think I can teach you how.

I think I've had enough.

I'm going to bed.

What do you do around here at night?

Sleep.

Mostly.

Well, if there's nothing else, then... I'll make it up to you tomorrow.

I promise.

I'll hold you to that.

Good night, Diane.

The young man is here.

Will I like him?

He's the same age as Victor.

You're good to me, Juan.

Oh, baby.

That hurts.

I think you got the wrong guy.

If you don't want me, maybe you'll like him.

What was that?

Probably just a coyote.

It sounded almost human.

Sometimes they do.

Lee, I'm scared.

Come here.

Come on.

Lee. What's the matter now?

This place.

I don't know.

It's this room.

And that mirror over there.

It's almost as if someone were watching us.

Someone is.

Who? You.

My own little voyeur.

Don't joke, Lee.

I feel strange here.

Why? You've got a bodyguard.

I promise to take real good care of you.

Please.

I just don't feel like it.

No What is it the dream nothing Well, come

on tell me We were in bed in the middle of the desert

making love and someone pulled you away

What's wrong

Well, I was having the same dream

But you were pushing me away.

Who is it?

Good morning.

It's almost dawn.

And if you want to see the desert, we have to get started early before the sun

becomes too strong.

And be sure to cover yourselves up.

I don't want to see the desert.

Susie, you don't want to do anything.

Am I covered up enough, Diane?

Remember, this is the desert.

And out here, the sun can be destructive.

You're not exactly a nature lover, Diane.

Oh, I am.

But it can hurt you, the sun, if you let it.

How long has this mine been shut down?

Almost a hundred years.

Why was it abandoned?

Some of the miners started disappearing.

They sent search parties. Disappearing?

Dying. Being killed off.

By what?

Some people thought it was done by a person who went berserk.

Others from the Wounds on the Dead said it was a crazed animal.

But a few believed it was neither human nor animal.

Which was it? Who knows?

Well the wounds what kind of wounds were they all the dead had large gashes on

their throats Ready

There are lots of ribs running off this spine.

So keep up.

I wouldn't want to lose you two. Don't worry, you won't.

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

Diane?

Diane?

Diane?

Which tunnel do we take?

Honey, I want you to wait right here for me, and I'll go out and try to find her.

Now, if I can't, I'll come right back.

But I don't want you to go anywhere.

Do you understand?

Susan.

Thank God it's you.

You were

like someone drowning, Susan.

I didn't mean to scare you.

My flashlight went dead and I couldn't see.

Juan probably left them out in the sun.

You can't do that. It kills the batteries.

Yeah, but didn't you hear me calling for you? I got too far ahead, I guess.

I must have been in another tunnel.

But look what I found.

It's the same stone as my necklace.

Bloodstone.

I couldn't help myself.

I had to have it.

There is no life without blood.

And here it is, trapped forever in these tiny red veins.

You two go on I don't feel like seeing anything else you want to go back to the

house No I'll get some Sun I can do it here as well as there Do you mind if

we go? No, it's okay with me

What's your pleasure, ma'am?

You know, this is where the miners came for a rest and recreation.

Oh, yeah?

But they did a lot more than just drink here.

What else did they do?

This.

Jesus, a snake!

Susan, hold still and do not move one muscle.

It's bitten you. Honey, you're going to be okay now.

I'll have to cut the puppeteer open.

Now hold on, honey, and you're going to be all right.

Try to relax.

If I don't suck out the blood, the poison will spread.

That's a good girl, honey. Just relax.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of you.

You're a very lucky girl.

It's not serious.

Thank you for what you did.

Well, when you live in the desert, you learn what to do.

Juan taught me.

Out here, a woman needs a man like Juan to help her.

How long has he been with you?

Since he was a child.

Did his parents live here, too?

His people died on their reservation.

Then your family raised him.

Yes. He was like a brother to me.

Now, I think the best thing for you is a midday nap.

I always rest in the hottest part of the day.

All right.

Thank you, Diane.

We can go home now if you want. No, I'm beginning to like it here.

Yes? I'm looking for a friend named Cliff.

He came out here last night to work for us. No one came last night.

Are you sure?

It was about dinner time.

No one came last night.

Lee? Diane?

Anyone here?

Take your hands off that.

You're quite a watchdog, Juan.

Diane tells me you grew up together.

What was her family like?

There was no family.

There was only Diane.

She took me in.

Then she must be older than you.

Where's my husband?

With Diane.

Sightseeing.

What are we coming here for? You'll see.

Tell me, could you live in the desert?

Not me. I don't know how you can. Have you always?

Always.

What a waste.

Oh, I'd leave if I could.

The truth is, I hate the sun.

Well, then why hang around?

Because my husband is buried here.

When did he die?

About a week after we were married.

Have you ever thought about moving the body? I can't. You see, when he died, I

had the Indians prepare him for burial because they know how to preserve the

dead. Something about the desert?

Yes.

If he leaves the dry air, he'll crumble to dust.

You talk about him as if he were still alive.

The dead can live if you want them to.

No, baby.

When you're dead, you're dead.

Life is for the living.

You're Diane, aren't you?

Yes.

That guy at your place wouldn't let me see you.

What do you want?

I want to know where Cliff is.

Who's Cliff?

He works at the gas station.

He came up here last night to do some work on your dune buggy, and he never

came back.

And he's straight these days, so something's got to be wrong.

My buggy was acting up yesterday, but it was a false alarm.

I called the station just before dinner and told Amos not to send anyone after

all.

Cliff said he was going to your place.

Well, he didn't.

That's a new grave there, isn't it?

How should I know? I'm not the undertaker.

Did you enjoy your afternoon?

It was okay.

You know, I was wrong about Diane.

She's a remarkable woman.

She sure knew what to do with that knife.

Yeah, it didn't hurt a bit.

Well, that's because you're so tough.

Lee, do you remember that Diane said her family raised Juan?

Yeah. Well, this afternoon, Juan told me Diane had no family. But she raised them

all by herself.

So? That would mean Diane is a lot older than she looks.

I don't get the feeling that Juan is someone to trust.

Good night, Susie.

Good night.

Susie?

What the hell are you doing?

What about you?

I thought you were sleeping.

With Susan.

How can you eat that stuff?

You ate raw meat yesterday.

Yeah, but that's liver. That's raw liver.

Ever notice people feed their cats raw liver?

Cats are animals.

So are we.

But it must frighten us.

We try so hard to forget it.

Why fight it?

Fight what?

the animal in you.

I'll take that.

Oh, here honey, let me help you.

Why isn't Juan doing that?

I thought I'd help out.

Let's have breakfast in the living room. Sort of an indoor picnic.

Coffee? No.

Yeah.

Diane, I need the number of the station.

We have to leave this afternoon.

I don't think you can.

Why not?

Amos called earlier.

The party order hasn't come in.

Since today's Sunday, it won't be here until tomorrow.

Yeah, but I gotta get back. I gotta see a guy.

No hassle.

Call and postpone it.

I guess I could. Sure you could.

Anyway, we just got here.

It's not polite to hit and run.

You know, Diane, this place grows on you.

I've seen things here I've never seen before.

Then you'll stay.

Sure.

Good I get to have you two for another night But enjoy yourselves now because I

have to leave for a while

All

right, I got laid last night That's what you want to hear me say, right, right

Well now will you stop giving me such a bad time sure

How can I put you down for something I could do myself?

Hey, Susie?

Susie, I'm right here, so don't play like I'm not.

Oh, look, Diane doesn't turn me on. She's a desert freak.

And I'm a Susie freak.

You want to see what she showed me yesterday?

Sure. Anything Diane showed you, I want to see.

Well, come on.

You sure know how to get to me.

You're goddamn right I do.

Come on.

Get out of here.

You need me.

You're not what I need.

Why did you kill your husband?

I tried to leave him alone.

Then why did you marry him?

Why do you stay with me?

Because I can't leave you.

You're suffering.

You need nourishment.

I need more and more now.

Something is speeding up inside me.

Let me help you.

I'll get someone for you. I'll bring one of my people.

You're good to me, Warren.

You've always been good to me.

This is the fourth one that died in the 1870.

Must have been a bad year.

Do you remember what Diane said about the killings at the mine?

Yeah.

Lee, let's go somewhere else.

Don't be afraid. Everybody here is dead.

Susie, come and look at this.

Maybe it was some kind of animal. No animal kills like that.

Did you see anyone around?

No. Diane, there's one thing I don't get.

The headstone said your husband died in 1875.

Easy, Lee. No, he's right.

I'd wonder too.

You see, that was originally the grave of Victor's great-grandfather. Now he's

the one that died in 1875.

Oh, years ago, his body was stolen by grave robbers, and when Victor died, I

buried him in the empty grave.

Why would anyone rob the grave?

Well, there's an old belief around here that people used to be buried with their

jewels. Yeah, but if they wanted the jewels, why'd they take the body?

I don't know.

Well, why wasn't there any dirt in your husband's grave?

Because if the dry air doesn't reach him, he'll decay.

Diane?

What if someone still believes that story about the jewels?

Then Juan caught them robbing your husband's grave.

Maybe.

Might even be a member of his own tribe.

They can be very brutal.

Juan became an outcast when he left them to live here.

He gave up so much for me.

He meant more to me than he knew and I never got to tell him.

What the hell are we waiting for? I'm going to call the police. No.

No.

That's my responsibility, Lee. I'll take care of it.

Excuse me.

What's bugging you?

I don't believe a thing she said. That's what.

What's this stuff about dry air in the grave?

She told me some story about she made her husband into a mummy and that the

desert air preserves him.

How weird.

Don't worry, it's a lot of shit.

Well, I think her feeling for Juan was real.

I wonder if she can feel it all.

You are really down on her.

You know, the first night we met... It's from a cat.

And then last night... You ate raw meat yesterday.

What about last night?

Nothing. As soon as the car's ready, we split.

There's nothing Anyway, this one was my dream

Station. This is Lee Ritter. You've got my car.

Yep. Is it ready?

Nope. It was supposed to be ready this morning. Did you get the part in?

What part?

The part you ordered.

Don't need no part.

Well, then what are you waiting for?

The lady who called told me to wait for her go-ahead.

What lady?

Didn't say.

Look.

How long will it take to fix it?

I can have it tomorrow.

I need it today!

Mister, I don't like shot.

Anyway, my mechanic ain't around.

Well, when can I... Susan?

Enjoying yourself?

Sure.

Tell me, how long have you and Lee been married?

Almost two years.

Have you had another man since then?

I don't think that's any of your business, Diane.

Lee's nice, but... But?

He's not very observant, is he?

Susan, have you ever noticed how men envy us?

Envy us how?

The pleasure we have, that only we can have.

We can't help it.

It's just our nature the way we are and in their secret hearts They hate us for

it because they can never know what it's like Susan

I Want

to talk to you

Alone Get

your things packed What's the rush?

We're getting out of here.

I just talked to the guy at the station. Remember Diane? She said she called and

took care of everything.

Well, she took care of nothing.

She's trying to keep us here, and I think that creep at the station is

helping her.

Aren't you getting a little paranoid?

No, I'm not.

I don't like those dreams either. They're turning out to be real.

You mean for you.

You've gotten what you want, so we leave.

Okay, what do you want?

Just stay here a while.

Think you want her maybe I do how does it feel?

Where is that bitch?

Diane

Close the door.

That bed.

I called the station.

You told them not to fix the car.

You're afraid of me, Lee.

No.

Then why stay so far away?

Tell me.

The car.

Why?

Don't you understand?

You should after the other night.

I want you here with me.

I can't stay. I've got to get back.

For a while, at least.

Ever since that night at the gallery.

Ever since.

I knew I wanted you.

I was hungry for you for as long as I could have you.

You don't want to go.

You don't.

No.

No, I... Lee?

Do you know who was always buried in that grave?

Your husband.

Yes.

Only him.

You see, I'm really very old.

Do you care?

No.

Want me to?

Oh!

Where's Lee?

He's left for the station to see about your car.

Is something wrong?

Your bed.

That's sand.

Close the door, Susan.

You've been watching us from that room, haven't you?

Yes.

Why?

Don't you know?

No.

You should.

You did the same thing the other night.

That was different.

It was an accident.

You could have turned away, but you didn't.

I saw Juan, Diane, in that room.

He thinks you killed him.

Yes.

But you loved him.

Yes.

He'll be with us now, always.

With us?

I want you here with me, Susan.

Ever since that night at the gallery, ever since, I knew I wanted you.

I was hungry for you for as long as I could have you.

Stay with me.

Yes.

What was that?

Nothing.

Susan.

Come back.

I got things to do.

Traveling life.

I forgot my coat.

I got something back if you want.

Didn't even thank me for stopping.

Thank you.

Where are you running from?

No place.

Wasn't you staying with her?

Don't have much to say, do you?

How am I supposed to know where you want to go?

Wherever I can get a ride to Los Angeles.

What do you want me to do? Get off of me or I'll fall down.

Okay, Greyhound.

As what has become the will, every effort will be made to weaken your

guard.

We would be more than happy in serving your destination.

Have a pleasant trip, and thanks for going, Greyhound.

and she's after me. What are you talking about, Susie? Who's after you? That

woman we met at your place, Diane.

I know it sounds crazy, but she's a vampire, and she murdered Lee.

Susie, tell me what this is all about.

Look, don't question me.

Help me.

All right.

Come on over. I can't. She's still around someplace, and she'll kill me,

too. Where are you? In the bus station.

I mean

Help me. Help me.

Please. Please help me.

Please. Help me.

How long have I been asleep?

A couple of hours.

Have the police found Lee yet?

Yes.

Some of her other victims, too.

Don't they want to question me?

Tomorrow's soon enough.

Carl, how well did you know Diane?

Pretty well.

She wasn't just a customer?

Yeah, she was just a customer.

But she told me a few things.

Like what?

She had a rare blood disease.

Her body couldn't manufacture its own blood, so she needed regular

transfusions.

That's what she came to town for, mainly.

But why did she kill Lee?

And how do you explain her fear of crosses and the sun?

Well, I guess she freaked out.

She probably needed blood so much she convinced herself she was a vampire.

So she acted like one.

But what about those dreams Lee and I had that all came true?

How do you explain them?

They were your dreams, Susie.

How do you explain them?

This knife is just like Diane's.

Yes, I sold her one.

There are only five of them.

They're collector's items.

She cut me with it.
