Previously on Let the Right One In...

Tonight is all about honoring the past. So I just want to

take a moment to recognize this restaurant's

founding executive chef.

dramatic music

I almost blew this one up to hang out there tonight,

but, uh, seemed a little private for that. Remember that?

It's the day we bought this place.

But I like that shot 'cause of how happy Eleanor looks.

Looks like you can use someone to talk to.

How long has it been since your last confession?

Ten years, nine months and four days.

Why so long?

What happened ten years,

nine months and four days ago?

"Hablemos el Mismo Idioma" by Gloria Estefan

I was just telling Uncle Zeke

he should come with us to mass tomorrow.

Oh.

Uh, well, yeah. Thank you, sweetheart.

But that's one of the perks of being a grown-up

is you don't have to go to church.

Oh, what a beautiful sentiment

coming from our child's godfather.

May I now present

your first course.

Uh-huh. - Ooh.

Ooh, smells really good.

Mm, what do you got there?

That, my friend, will become our signature dish.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Just a little variation on my mother's mole.

Ah. Well, I like the sound of that.

Yeah.

That's funny.

Where's the rest of the dish? - That is the dish.

Brother, we are not putting a bowl of sauce on the menu.

Okay.

While you guys talk about food,

you mind if we eat some?

Excellent idea.

Yeah, exactly. Try it first.

All right.

Mm?

You like it?

Mm.

Oh, my God.

Oh, it can't taste that good.

Oh, what the...

I knew there was a reason we kept your dad around.

What the hell is in this? -

Hmm? - Ellie? Come on.

Oh, here they go.

Wait. What's happening? - How many ingredients?

Fifteen. - Okay.

Starting with the obvious--

salt, water, onions,

tomatoes, love.

Now we're counting love?

When you can taste it.

Mm.

At first it's sweet,

that's chocolate,

cinnamon, nutmeg?

Cloves?

Almonds.

Pecans.

Yes. - Oh. [laughs]

Oh, wow.

Then it starts to get spicy.

That's the chiles, right? - Yeah.

Chilhuacle rojo, amarillo y negro,

but I'll give you credit for all three, all right?

Now, one more ingredient, starts with a P.

Plantains. -

Ooh. - That is why you will have

a Michelin Star someday. -

Dad, we've talked about this. - I know,

but do you really want to be an astronaut, huh?

Because you could drop out of school

and start cooking tomorrow.

Nice.

Well, I'd-I'd like to propose a toast.

Yeah. -

Oh, I... I work tonight.

Ah, ah, ah, ah. - Oh, oh, oh, oh...

I work tonight!

Oh, my God. - Yes, but, uh...

Well, you can just call another nurse

and have her take your shift, right?

No, I cannot.

I'll have Mom's.

No-- No, no, no. Nice try.

What? You let me have communion wine.

That is not wine, that's the blood of Christ.

More like Franzia.

Or Three-Buck Chuck.

See, that's why I don't go to church.

Never trust a place that serves wine in a box.

Mm. Mm, that's right. - Okay.

To the first

of many amazing dishes.

And, uh, what is about to be

the best new restaurant in New York.

Yes.

Salud.

Mm, uh, since it's just you and the boys tonight,

what're we thinking? A horror movie marathon?

I think you're finally old enough for The Shining.

Yeah. - Uh--

She's 12. - That's when I saw it.

Gave me nightmares for weeks.

I can't tonight.

Mom's helping me set up the telescope

before she goes to work.

Nerd.

Mm-hmm.

And proud of it.

Eh, with all this light pollution,

what can you see anyway?

How's it look?

See for yourself.

Hey, do you think we could find the Sea of Tranquility?

Oh, I wish I could stay and find out,

but, um... I got to go to work.

Ah...

I'm gonna get Dad, okay?

All right.

Have fun tonight.

suspenseful music

You're cramming too many tables in there.

Restaurants need customers.

Yeah, well, it's not always about the bottom line.

Says the guy who hasn't invested his entire savings.

Awesome.

Hi. Can you, uh,

join your daughter, please? - Sure.

I want her in bed by nine o'clock.

30 at the latest.

Mm, she's got you wrapped around her finger.

Mm. You and her both. - Mm-hmm.

Eleanor!

Help!

Ellie!

Elevate her head. - Oh, come on! Come on!

Ellie! Sweetheart.

Zeke! Call 911!

No, no, no, no, no.

Ellie, look at me. Ellie? - Ellie?

Eleanor. Eleanor.

Stay with me, Eleanor. No!

Eleanor's out of surgery.

She did very well. -

She's stable? She's gonna be okay?

She'll need some time to heal,

but she's gonna be fine.

Can we see her? - We're setting her up in a room,

you can be with her in a few minutes.

Now, most of your daughter's injuries were superficial.

They looked worse than they were.

But the bite wound on her neck...

Any time there's an animal bite

we have to consider the possibility of infection.

Did you see the animal that attacked her?

Nuh-uh.

She was alone. I'd, um, I'd gone in the house when...

This wasn't your fault,

I should've been out there with her.

We live in the middle of a city.

I don't understand what could've done this. It's...

If I had to guess, a coyote.

They'll come into crowded areas if they're hungry enough.

I'm gonna order a rabies panel

and put her on broad-spectrum antibiotics,

but it's purely a precaution. There's no need for alarm.

It's okay.

intriguing music

Oh, no, no, baby. Don't-don't do that.

You got to let your cuts heal.

Feel okay? - Yeah.

Why?

Mm, you look a little pale.

Let's let some light in here.

No.

It's too bright in here already.

Okay.

Breakfast is served.

Good, I'm hungry.

Um, she can only have broth or applesauce. It's--

This is applesauce.

But none of that processed, served in a plastic cup,

nonsense. - How did you...

I went to the cafeteria

and talked the cooks into letting me in the kitchen.

Okay.

Wait. How many ingredients?

Six.

I don't know.

Well, start with the obvious. - No, Dad.

I-I can't taste anything.

Ellie...

Hey-hey, hey...

You okay?

Honey.

I'm so sorry.

dramatic music

Eleanor, we think the animal that bit you

must've been carrying something pretty nasty inside it.

So I've asked my colleague, Dr. Jensen, to join us.

She has some questions for you.

Hi, Eleanor.

I know you told Dr. Madigan you didn't see the animal

that bit you, but we're still hoping to find it.

You know why?

So you can find out what it infected me with?

You're a very smart girl.

But it's even more than that.

Sometimes the animal has these things called antibodies

that make it immune from that nasty thing it's carrying.

And you know what that means? It means the host is the cure.

I called Animal Control,

they'd like to send someone to your house

later today.

Could you meet them there? - Of course.

In the meantime, Eleanor,

can you tell us what you do remember?

I heard something...

...up in the trees...

Eleanor!

dramatic music

Ellie!

Oh, my God.

I saw its eyes.

They were glowing in the dark.

What your daughter's describing

is called tapetum lucidum...

More colloquially known as cat eyes.

Though felines aren't the only animal

to exhibit the characteristic.

Deer. Dogs. Ferrets.

Doesn't seem like the work of a ferret, though.

The doctor thought maybe a coyote.

Wasn't a coyote. - Why not?

Your daughter said it dropped from the trees.

So?

You know a lot of coyotes that perch in trees?

We don't... know a lot of coyotes.

So, what animals do perch in trees?

Mountain lions.

Hard to believe you'd find one here,

but one never knows.

You said it tried to drag her under the fence?

Over here.

Hmm.

What?

Certain animals will wound their prey,

and then bring it back to their den

where they can feed in peace.

Are there any large parks nearby?

Uh, Kissena... about a mile from here.

It wouldn't be taking her that far.

Then where was it taking her?

That's the question. - Just-- please.

Best guess.

What did this to my daughter?

I have absolutely no idea.

I'm hungry, Mom.

I know, baby, we've been trying.

Hey, any luck?

What is this?

She wouldn't stop scratching her wounds.

They keep poking me, Dad.

I know, honey. I'm sorry.

They need your blood to get tests, baby.

Can I talk to you a second? - Yeah.

Should we consider transferring her

to your hospital?

'Cause these doctors don't seem to know

what the fuck they're doing.

They are doing everything they can.

Dr. Madigan just added another antibiotic, so--

No. He's only guessing, Liz.

At this point, transferring her

would do more harm than good, okay?

We should know by morning if-- if the new medication worked.

You're saying she might not make it through the night?

Hey, sweetheart.

I'm hungry, Uncle Zeke.

Zeke? It's time to pray.

Uh, okay, well, uh, I'll give you two some space.

You're her godfather. You'll pray, too.

In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The Lord is the Everlasting God.

He gives strength to the weary,

and power to the weak.

Even when children grow weary,

those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

suspenseful music

They will fly and not be faint.

Eleanor!

Get away from her, Liz.

Ellie, baby. - Don't touch her.

Zeke, what the hell is happening?

Elizabeth, I want you to go to the supply cabinet

and grab a syringe. - What?

I want you to take a vial of his blood.

Do it now!

No!

Look at me.

What? - Go to Elizabeth now.

Eleanor.

I know you're still in there.

That's right.

I can see you.

Elizabeth, hurry.

Eleanor, just keep fighting.

Got it. - Bring it over.

intense music

Eleanor?

S-So...

...you...

...actually saw the...

Mm-hmm.

Oh, fuck.

I couldn't help it.

When I saw your...

It's okay.

It was like there was something inside of me and I couldn't--

Hey, everything's gonna be okay.

Look, you're feeling better now.

That's all that matters.

Hey...

Look at me.

Do I look worried?

I am-- I'm gonna go chat with Dad,

but I'll be right in the hallway if you need me, okay?

Okay.

somber music

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I don't believe it.

You look fantastic. How're you feeling?

So much better.

It had to be the antibiotic you put her on.

We can't thank you enough.

I'm of course thrilled at her recovery,

but I'd still like to keep her here a few more days.

What? - Mostly for observation,

but we'll need to run some tests to really--

I don't think that's necessary.

With respect, it's not your call.

Actually, it is.

Eleanor is now able to keep down food,

she can walk without assistance,

and she has a mom who works at an ICU.

So you and I both know

there is no reason not to release her to our care.

We are profoundly grateful for everything you've done,

but my daughter has been through trauma and she needs to be home.

gentle music

This is the last one.

Anything else? - You do realize...

Well, I mean, I'm...

I'm guessing based on movies I've seen.

I don't really know what the fuck I'm talking about.

You were right back at the hospital.

Listen, I...

I was thinking about the blood.

You know, we can get a pretty good supply from a butcher,

but in most stories like this...

...the blood has to be human.

Yeah.

Liz is grabbing some supplies from the hospital,

so she and I can give our own.

And you know I'll give mine, but...

But what if it's not enough?

Yeah.

She thought of that, too.

Gunshot, chest. BP is 60/20.

Respiration's at 15 and shallow.

Where you want him? Twelve here?

All right.

pulsing, dramatic music

Yeah, and what if that's not enough?

I don't fucking know. What do you want me to say?

Brother, what are you gonna do?

About what?

Everything.

What happens when she doesn't go back to school?

Uh, well...

Summer break's in a few weeks.

We-we could keep her home till then.

What?

No, I just, I just...

You know I'd push our opening if I could.

You think I give a shit about the restaurant right now?

Of course not, I'm just-- - Jamie can

run the kitchen while I'm gone!

Sure thing.

We'll keep the seat warm for you.

That's them.

I'll go throw this stuff away.

There she is.

I bet you're ready to jump into a nice, clean bed.

You washed the sheets?

Yes, I did.

You never wash the...

Sweetheart? What is it?

Baby, what's wrong?

Honey? - Oh, baby...

Ellie, talk to me. - Honey, honey.

Baby? - Honey, baby. Talk to us.

No, no, no, no, no.

What is this?

Baby. Eleanor. Talk to us!

Honey. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

Please, God, help.

What the hell?

I don't know, she started bleeding

a-as soon as she walked in!

Honey.

Eleanor, you are welcome here.

You can come inside.

That's it, baby, breathe.

Here. Here, sweetheart.

Oh.

Baby, you've got to drink, you lost a lot of blood.

Honey, what's wrong?

The blood, it's no good, it's...

Not fresh.

gentle, optimistic music

Hey.

Nice to get cleaned up?

Come on, let's get you tucked into bed.

Mom. - Hmm?

What's happening to me?

And don't tell me everything's gonna be okay.

Um...

Do you know who this is?

San Raphael.

Do you know why I wear him?

He's the patron saint of nurses.

That's right.

He is also

the patron saint of miraculous cures.

Do you know what the name Raphael means?

It means "God heals."

I don't know what's going on, baby.

God doesn't always give us the answers,

but He never leaves us without hope.

Do you remember what that doctor said?

If we find the creature that bit you...

We can find the cure. - Yeah.

What if it was one of these houses?

If the guy was right

and this thing was trying to drag Ellie back to its den...

He said the den should be close by,

and the only thing close by are these houses.

What?

You saw what happened to Eleanor

when she tried to get into her house.

And I don't think this thing would live so close

to where it hunts.

Then where was it taking her?

Okay, uh...

This thing doesn't want to get noticed, right?

So...

it wants to be mobile,

but it has to stay out of the sun.

So... - Motherfucker.

slow, suspenseful music

Oh, hell no. - Safety in numbers, right?

Fuck you. - She's your goddaughter.

Almost there.

I'm gonna hope this is water.

Dead end.

Now what?

What the fuck was that?

Are those...?

Cockroaches.

Shit.

Shh. -

Something in there.

We have done a lot of stupid shit in our lives,

but this has got to take the cake.

Shh.

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Shit.

Oh, fuck, shit!

Ow!

It's all interconnected.

Sewer tunnels run on top of rail lines.

It's one big world down there. - You're...

You're saying that, from that sewer grate in our alley,

this thing could have hopped on a subway train,

it could be anywhere in the city by now?

It's not just the subway.

There's rail lines down there for Amtrak.

So this thing could be anywhere by now.

slow, dramatic music

According to the guy at Animal Control,

there's been ten animal attacks on humans

within a few hundred miles of here

in the last year alone.

So I figure I start there.

There's a decent chance at least one of them

was an attack like Ellie's.

Listen, honey-- - I was also thinking,

we know this thing moves underground, right?

And there's homeless living in the subway tunnels,

so I'm just gonna go down there,

talk to people, maybe someone saw something.

We don't have enough blood to feed her.

I've been keeping track of how much she consumes,

and best I can tell, she needs about

one liter every other day.

And then we keep giving in rotating shifts.

You, Zeke, me...

Our bodies can't replenish fast enough to meet her demand.

Pretty soon we won't have a liter to give,

and less and less and less as time goes by.

She's going to slowly starve to death.

And, uh...

how long until it happens?

Two months... maybe three.

Okay, then we'll figure out another way to feed her.

How? We already tried animal blood...

Just-- - ...and we know it only takes

one hour after the blood leaves the body till it goes bad.

So there's only one other way that I can think of to feed her.

No, it's not gonna come to that.

Then how?

Now, just-- - How are we going to feed her?

Just calm down.

Don't fucking tell me to calm down!

I'm just saying we'll figure it out.

In this family, that usually translates to

I figure it out.

Oh, fuck you.

Huh.

Just say it.

Say what?

It's my fault this happened.

I knew you had to go to work.

And I left her out there alone.

We both did.

slow, somber music

I will chase down every one of these leads,

and if I strike out ten times,

then I'll push the map further out.

I will go into subway tunnels,

into sewers.

I will find us answers.

And I swear to God...

...I will never stop until we get our daughter back.

Okay. - Okay?

Okay.

Be good to your mom when I'm gone.

Drive safe. - I will.

Dad?

I love you.

I love you, too.

"I Love You More than You'll Ever Know" by Donny Hathaway

Good afternoon.

I was hoping I could

talk to you about your son.

If I ever leave you, baby

My son is dead.

You can say "I told you so"

And if I ever hurt you

Yes.

You know, I hurt myself as well

Is that any way

For a man to carry on?

Do you think

I want my loved one gone?

Said I love you

More than you'll ever

Know

More than you'll ever know

Hi, folks, are you having a good time?

Yes. - Good, please come back.

When I wasn't making much money

You know where my paycheck went

"The secret of a good old age is simply

an honorable pact with solitude."

You know I brought it home to you, baby

And I never spent a red cent

Hey

Is that any way for a man

To carry on?

Do you think I want my loved one gone?

It was a family hunting trip.

He got between a mother bear and her cub and...

And do you know that for sure?

Excuse me?

Were you there when it happened?

Claire? - Yes.

I'm s... I'm sorry, is that a yes?

Can I help you?

This man's asking about Peter.

Our family's made it clear

we'd like our privacy as we grieve.

I'm not trying to be

Just any kind of man

No, I ain't

I'm just trying to be somebody

You can love

Trust and understand

I know, I know, I know that I can be

A part of you

That no one else could see, yeah

But I got to hear you say

I got to hear you say

It's all right

I'm only flesh and blood

But I could be anything that you demand

I could be king

Of everything

Or just a tiny grain of sand...

I wish I had more to give.

Is that any way for a man to carry on?

Do you think - Ellie.

That I want my loved one gone?

I love you

I'll, uh...

see you in six days.

Ellie will be dead in six days.

Grab a seat.

What's this?

It's a registry of sex offenders in New York.

This one lives less than a mile away.

Yeah, I, um...

I don't... - Ellie could be dead by tomorrow

unless...

...she gets a proper meal.

Elizabeth?!

What are you doing? - She doesn't know, does she?

Zeke...

What is it?

What?

He's planning on murdering someone

so that Eleanor can live.

What?

Yeah, he just asked me to help.

I thought you were my brother.

I am your brother.

Why do you think I just told her?

'Cause I knew you'd never listen to me,

but you sure as hell would listen to her.

Liz, it shatters my heart

to say it, but you have done

everything you can for Eleanor.

She's just suffering now. - Her suffering will end

when I get her a proper meal. - Do you...?

He is talking about leaving this house and killing someone.

I'm talking about a piece of shit

who raped a nine-year-old.

Liz, Liz, I am begging you,

for Eleanor's sake, you've got to let her go.

She's not your daughter, Zeke. - I know that.

And Liz is not your wife.

Brother--

Get the fuck out of my house.

I'm-I'm serious.

Go back to your restaurant. You're not welcome here anymore.

I am your brother. That's why I won't help you.

How long?

What?

Have you been thinking about doing this?

Baby... - What? Hmm?

Been thinking about it ever since you told me

she only had three months to live.

What was your plan? -

It's-it's... No, you-you don't have--

You'll want to talk it through so you don't make a mistake.

suspenseful music

I wait outside his place.

I-I've been there

maybe a dozen times.

He lives in a basement unit.

He's the only one down there.

His door's on a safety hinge,

so... it closes nice and slow.

Son of a bitch.

How do you plan to collect the blood?

I thought of doing it in the bathtub.

Won't work.

Why?

You have to make sure he's upside down

so the blood rushes to his head.

Come on, come on.

Shit. Shit.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on!

What the fuck?!

What the fuck? - I'm so sorry.

It was entirely my fault. - No shit.

I'm sorry.

Hey, call the police. - What?

No. No, no, no, no, no. Just hold on one second.

I saw the whole thing.

He pulled right in front of you.

What? No. No, no, no, no, no. Just listen to me, please.

I have to go.

I-I'll give you my insurance

and my contact information, but I have to go.

What are you talking about?

I have to go. You have to move your car.

Why are you trying to run?

No. I'm-I'm giving you my insurance.

What do you mean I have to...?

No. I'm not running. -

Thank God.

Officer, this guy pulled right in front of me.

This lady here saw the whole thing.

Hold on. - Officer, this was

completely my fault. - Sir, hold it right there.

Sir, hold it. - Okay. Yes, yes, yes.

Okay, but I--

I need you, sir, to wait by your car.

Got my insurance in my car, right here. Okay?

Just wait by your car.

Just, there's been an emergency.

Sir, wait by-- - My daughter is sick!

You have to listen to me. - Wait by your car

or I will put you inside mine.

Fuck.

slow, contemplative music

Shit.

What's wrong?

What is it?

No.

No, no, no, no. No...

Maybe it's still good.

You were right.

What happened?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm truly sorry.

It's okay, it's...

Hey. Hey. Hey.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm gonna... go back out.

What?

I'm-I'm... I'm gonna find someone else.

No, just-just... - I'm gonna find someone else.

Just-just wait. Just sit down for a minute.

I'm...

I'm gonna go check on Eleanor.

Okay.

And I'll be right back.

Okay. - It's okay.

Okay.

You think we could see the stars there?

Where?

Heaven.

You think I'll get to go?

Yes.

Yes.

We'll all be there together someday.

All three of us?

Yes.

What do you think it's like?

I think...

...it's where all sad things come untrue.

"A Song for You" by Donny Hathaway

I

Love you in a place

Where there's no space or time

I love you for my life

You're a friend of mine

And when my life is over

Remember

When we were together

We were alone, and I was singing this song

To you

We were alone

And I was singing this song to you

We were alone

And I was singing this song

Mm-hmm

Singing this song to

You...
