- [Man] Hey, girl.

- [Man] Hey, how you doing this evening?

- [Man] What're you doing out here, huh?

What you got in the bag?

- [Man] Come with us and have a drink, huh?

Shouldn't be out here by herself, huh?

- [Man] Yeah, little lady like you?

- [Man] Pretty little thing like yourself.

- I love this song.

It reminds me of home.

This is gonna be a really long ride

if you're not gonna be talking, being this quiet.

Where are you from?

- Atlanta.

- Well, you didn't get very far.

How long you been walking?

- A couple days.

- You hungry?

There's an apple back there.

(Vanessa crunching)

Goodness, when was the last time you ate?

- Couple days.

- Well, by the looks of you,

looks like you're better off on the road.

Bad home life, right?

Yeah, I get it.

Same for me, too.

I had a husband who liked to kick.

He's not a problem anymore.

(ominous music)

Divorce, honey.

Three years.

How's the apple?

- It's good.

(driver sighs)

(engine idling)

(eerie music)

(Walker sighing)

(phone rings)

- Walker.

- It's time to go to work. - Where?

- [Partner] Come find me.

- All right man, I'll be there in 10 minutes.

(Walker sighs)

- Don't you know it's dangerous to hitchhike around?

You just gonna stand there?

Hop in.

I'm as far as Asheville.

(blood squelching)

(hitchhiker grunts)

- Very good, my dear.

I knew you had it in you.

You could've shared it, at least,

but I understand.

You'll get less impulsive, next time.

- There won't be a next time.

I'm done with this, I'm not a killer.

- There's a simple saying that transcends all worlds.

You don't eat, you die.

Oh, I forgot.

That's what you wanted in the first place, isn't it?

You silly child.

Mommy and Daddy don't love me enough,

or Daddy loved me too much.

Life is so hard, boo-hoo.

- I would've never asked for this.

- To be honest, you were never good enough for this.

I should've eaten you

and tossed you out like spent chicken bones.

To think I spent all my time and energy

in making you immortal.

I saved you from your misery,

and this is how you repay me?

- I would've never asked for this.

You killed me.

I wish you would've just finished it.

- Fine, then.

So be it.

You're on your own.

If you last that long.

(gentle music)

(tense music)

(dremel whirring)

(woman screaming)

(woman screaming)

(woman sobbing)

- So, you're telling me there's three or four bodies?

- Three bodies.

- Okay.

Well, let's just make sure we didn't miss anything,

and I mean if you've gridded everything out,

let's double check over there.

Should be good.

- You got it. - Thanks, man.

- What you got?

- Another day in paradise.

Two, maybe three victims, I think.

Maybe four.

Dismembered, drained of blood, put in trash bags.

I don't know, we might be looking at a serial killer.

Or a vampire.

- Vampire?

(cop chuckles) What's next, leprechauns?

Dismembered, huh?

Like the others.

- Yeah.

- How long have they been here?

- Cruiser came by about four,

saw a pack of dogs gnawing on one of the arms.

- Any ID yet?

- No.

We're still trying to piece that together.

- Tire tracks, anything substantial?

- Not around here.

This place, everybody just shoots up here, 24/7,

they got cars coming in and outta here.

We'll never find anything.

- Well, let me know what you find, anyway.

- You look spent, brother.

You getting any sleep?

- No.

- You know, I got something for that.

- Pills don't work.

Besides, last time I took 'em,

I ended up four towns over, in my pajamas.

- You wear pajamas?

- Who's that?

- I don't know.

Some lookie-loos.

Been here all night.

- Well, all right, man.

Tell you what, keep at it,

and let me know when the coroner's finished with 'em.

I'm gonna head to the house.

- All right, brother. - All right.

- Thank you.

Jamie, how's it going?

(gentle piano music)

(dramatic music)

- Right this way, m'lady. - Thank you.

- Welcome to the sanctuary.

- It's pretty cool.

- What do ya think?

- Yeah, I don't know, they got a lot of stuff here.

- Yeah I know, this place is awesome.

I hang out here quite a bit.

Check this out.

Creepy, huh?

- That guy. - Yeah.

So what are you thinking for dinner,

because I know we just ate cheeseburgers the other day,

but I could just really love, and crush a bacon burger?

- Mm, I don't know if I'm feeling that.

- Okay.

All right.

Oh, they're gonna get so pissed

if I put this back in the wrong spot, but-

- Just pick a spot, it's totally fine.

- I think it's right there?

All right, so I mean, yeah I mean,

pizza would normally be cool with me,

but the thing about that is you know,

it's just greasy,

and I've been trying to work out a little bit,

and get in better shape, and it's just-

- But you were just saying you wanted a cheeseburger.

- I mean yeah, but it's different, you know?

Just have a craving for bacon,

I love to pump my cholesterol up, you know?

- Well, what about Chinese?

- Chinese is always a good option,

but then I'm hungry still like, 10 minutes after, so.

- You're so picky.

Okay, what about,

Mexican?

- I could do that, 'cause again, it's cheap.

But- - I love tacos.

- I mean, I like queso too, but just, ah, I don't know.

I mean, I don't know,

would you settle for breakfast?

We can maybe do, I can make some really good pancakes.

- Uh, maybe.

- Maybe, well, I also know how to scramble an egg,

but the thing about breakfast

is it's not near my favorite meal, which is dessert.

Know what I mean?

- Yeah, I know what you mean. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - Okay, yeah?

(pleasant music)

Do you have anything by Rob Liefeld?

- Um.

Check the "Youngblood" section.

- Do you have anything that's kind of like, racy?

(both chuckle)

(tense music)

- We do in the back.

Are you guys sure you're old enough for that?

- Seriously?

Um, okay, so you go that way,

I'll go get the "Youngblood" and meet you back over here?

- Cool, yeah. - Okay?

- Down there, second from the right.

(ominous music)

(plastic crinkles)

(intense music) (Kyle choking)

- Kyle.

This isn't funny.

You can get up.

Kyle?

(somber music)

(dremel whirring)

(woman screaming)

(woman sobbing)

(intense music)

(woman screaming)

(woman sobbing)

(woman screaming)

(board rattling)

(woman hyperventilating)

- It ain't good to finish my dinner with all of this noise.

(woman hyperventilating)

(killer sighs)

- But that doesn't mean I can't get started on dessert.

(killer sighs)

I have cravings, recently. (woman screaming)

(killer sighs)

Needs, you know?

(woman screaming)

Some say it's an iron deficiency.

Others just think I'm a freak.

To tell you the truth,

I just like the taste.

The power it gives one.

What once is yours, and life,

is now mine.

(woman whimpering)

All life has blood,

all blood is life.

What I take from you, I will carry with me forever.

You will be mine.

I will be your god.

(woman sobbing)

(woman screaming)

Stop it!

(woman sobbing)

You'll ruin the taste.

(woman sobbing)

(intense music)

(woman screaming)

- Damn it, Albert, quit fidgeting.

I'm gonna get blood everywhere.

Stay still, this won't hurt a bit, okay?

- Oh, sweetie, there's nothing you could do to hurt me.

You're too pretty.

- Albert, are you flirting with me?

(someone knocks)

You staying clean like we discussed?

'Cause you know I can't give you the special rate

unless you're staying clean.

- Yes ma'am, ever since our little arrangement,

I've been on the straight and narrow.

I'm seeing the VA doc.

And staying away from needles.

I'm even looking at a lift in my housing situation.

- That's good to hear, Albert.

You stay there, take a nap,

I'll be right back to check on you.

All right, here you go, Albert.

Don't spend it all in one place.

- I've been trying to spend it

on taking a pretty girl out to dinner,

but she keeps shooting me down.

- Now Albert, you know I can't date patients.

Just wouldn't be right,

but as always, you flatter me.

Listen, you're my last one for tonight

before I close up shop.

You got a place to stay?

- Don't you worry about me, I'll be just fine.

But, can I walk you to your car?

This ain't the best neighborhood.

- I'm a big girl, Albert.

I can take care of myself, but listen,

you need to get to the homeless shelter

before the last bed gets taken, okay?

See you in a few days?

- You betcha, sweetheart.

(eerie music)

(horror music)

(Vanessa hisses)

(crickets chirping)

- Hey, I'm your neighbor, Walker.

I saw you come in last night.

Not that I'm stalking, but um,

it looked like you might've been in some trouble.

I'm a cop, of the police?

You know, well actually, a detective.

But again, it looked like you were in some trouble,

and like you had some...

- Blood?

It was blood.

I work at a blood bank.

One of the bags exploded on me last night.

- That actually happens? - It can.

But as you can see, not my blood, not hurt,

nothing to detect over here.

Just a girl who works really long shifts,

and would like to get some sleep before the sun comes up.

- All right, okay.

Well, hey look, it was presumptuous of me to assume.

Sorry to disturb you.

You have a good night, all right?

(crickets chirping)

- Whoa, hang on, hang on, hang on.

You know, you do not have to be here for this.

- It's fine.

- Look, it's bad.

I know you're still processing Emily's murder.

You do not need to see that.

I think you need to take some time.

- Hey, I said it's fine, John.

(haunting music)

(bottles rattle)

(pills rattle)

- 40 pills, 200.

- What are you talking about, man?

Last week it was 40 for 100.

- Shit, inflation brother.

- 40 for 100, brother.

- You serious?

You pulling this shit?

I'm trying to run a business here.

- You don't like it?

Call the cops.

Now give me my shit.

(tense music)

- You're real fucked up.

- Tell me about it.

(haunting music)

(lock clicks)

(door thuds)

(keys jingle)

(haunting music continues)

(bottle clinks)

(upbeat music)

- Trash bags?

(upbeat music continues)

(people chattering)

Trash bags.

(crickets chirping)

(fence rattles)

If you know what's good for you, then stop following me.

(Vanessa hisses)

(killer grunts)

(killer gulps)

(eerie music)

(killer grunting)

- Hey, Pratt. - Yeah?

- Look at this.

They're different.

- Yeah, they're different.

One's a male, and one is a female.

- No shit.

But look, this one,

this one's been torn off like an animal did it.

And this other one,

taken off by a tool, like a saw.

- Are you telling me,

that we are looking at two killers?

- I don't know what I'm telling you.

I'm just saying they're different.

- Shit.

- Sorry I was rude the other night.

- Jesus, you scared the shit outta me.

- I'm light on my feet.

I brought wine.

- I got glasses.

Come in.

Hey, I'm sorry about the mess.

- It's no problem.

Looks like you don't get too many visitors.

- Well, well, no.

Work keeps me pretty busy.

So, you have the night off?

- Yeah, one of my few nights off.

This your wife?

- Was.

- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

She's pretty.

- Yeah, she was.

- So, detective, huh?

- Yep.

(Walker sighs)

Family thing.

Dad, grandfather,

you know how it is.

- Not really.

- [Walker] What, you don't have any family?

- Left home when I was 16, wasn't pretty.

Been on my own ever since.

- Well, that sounds lonely.

- Sometimes, got my work to keep me busy.

- [Walker] Yeah, at the exploding blood bank.

- Yeah, that was an accident.

I was careless.

So, what you working on?

- Oh, that's,

that's pretty nasty.

I'll save you the gory details.

- I work in blood, how bad can it be?

- [Walker] It's pretty bad.

Dismembered victims, blood drained from their bodies.

- Drained?

- Yeah, this freak thinks he's a vampire.

- He?

You don't think it could be a woman?

- We could be dealing with two people.

You know, the men are of medium height and build,

and again, you know, it's just,

dealing with two people, it doesn't make sense.

- What about a real vampire?

- Well, I've never met a real vampire.

And I don't think Dracula needs an IV to drain blood.

- An IV?

- It's twisted.

- I mean, I work with IVs and blood all night.

It'd take a while to drain a person.

- Well, we think he's stalking them,

then taking them somewhere else,

and then dumping 'em there.

- Do you have any leads?

(Walker sighs)

- No.

But, but, well that's,

let's talk about something else.

So, what brought you to town?

- I like to travel.

Been doing it for a while.

- And the blood business, how'd you get into that?

- Seemed like a stable gig.

Blood never really bothered me.

I mean, we all have it coursing through our veins.

Giving us life, others if needed.

- You're like a vampire.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- I was kidding, you know,

you drain people's blood.

(Walker sighs)

Hey, could I come by your work tomorrow?

To check the place out,

and then, you know, and see if any of the people there

might have some information on this case?

- Seems like you just need an excuse to see me again.

- [Walker] Well, there's that, too.

- I usually get in around seven.

It's pretty slow until midnight.

- I still can't believe you're out that late, you know?

Some of these streets aren't that safe.

- I'm aware.

I can take care of myself.

Plus, I've got a new friend who's a cop now,

so I've got that going for me.

- New friend?

- Sure.

Why not?

- Well, friend, how about dinner?

You know, as friends.

- I'd like that.

Let me pencil that in.

Listen, I'm gonna go.

I gotta get to bed before the sun comes up.

- Hey, you know, I was joking about that vampire thing.

- I just feel like if I'm up all night,

and I watch the sunrise, I feel like I'm wasting away.

I like the night better.

- Well, can I walk you home?

- I'm good, see you tomorrow.

(Walker exhales)

(phone buzzing)

- Walker.

Yeah, where?

Yeah, I'll be there in 10 minutes.

- [Vanessa] Oh please, make yourself at home.

- He seems delicious.

- [Vanessa] What do you want?

- Now, now, is that any way to treat an old friend?

- [Vanessa] We were never friends.

- Yes, well, I tried.

But, you just pushed me away.

Never taking any of the gifts that I ever gave you.

- Gifts?

You gave me people.

I'd rather die.

- Hm, you know, you're an ingrateful little bitch?

I gave you immortality.

I gave you beauty forever.

And you wanna just throw it away, like it's garbage.

- You gave me a death sentence.

You made me an eternal inmate on death row,

and I've told you for 20 years, I'm not a killer.

- You're not a killer.

What about the other night?

You have killed, and you know there's a difference.

You're just not taking advantage of all that you have.

- That was different.

- There's no difference.

The humans are walking around life as if in a dream.

They're like flowers in a field.

You have to pluck them when they're peaking,

or they wilt, and are ugly and dead.

- I think it's time for you to go.

- Vanessa, darling.

I only came to check on you.

You need not be rude.

Take my advice, darling.

Start eating right.

You may have the ability to live forever,

but that doesn't mean you will.

- All right, partner, what do we got?

- Two victims.

This is Albert Pennington, 60s, homeless guy.

Comes in here to donate.

Apparently, exsanguinated.

That means he's not got any blood left.

He's completely drained of his blood.

- Thanks, Pratt.

- Just making sure.

There's also one of the bags of blood

is missing, I can't find his.

- What about her?

- Well, as far as we can tell,

it's Lucy Gianopolis.

She is a nursing student and a phlebotomist here.

It looks like, from all I can tell,

she set him up,

went back to the office,

the killer came in, she probably surprised him.

Killer whacked her there.

- What about any evidence

that points to a motive, anything yet?

- Not that I can tell.

It's a blood bank.

- How about any cash, any cash on site?

- There's not supposed to be,

but some of the guys around here were saying

that some of the homeless guys

will come in here and actually get paid

by one of the nurses.

- Her?

- I doubt it, not on a student salary, are you kidding?

- What about cameras?

- No, not in a place like this.

(Walker sighs)

- I tell you what,

see if you can get an employee list,

and then maybe the last year of donors, a list of those,

and we'll go from there.

- All right. - All right.

I'm gonna make a call.

I'll leave you to it.

- All right. - All right, bud.

(eerie music)

Hey, I know it's your night off,

but I'm gonna need you to come down to the blood bank.

We got a situation.

(somber music)

- Albert, who did this to you?

- Hi, Mr. Pennington.

How are you doing today?

- Where's Vanessa tonight?

- Oh, she had the night off.

- [Albert] She's great, don't you think?

- Well, Mr. Pennington, I think so.

I've only been here a few weeks, but she seems nice.

All right, Mr. P, I'll be back in a second.

Don't go anywhere.

- The nurse will be back in a second.

She can help you right out.

You're a big boy.

I bet you got a lot of blood in you.

Probably all O positive, I bet.

Universal donor, am I right?

Hey, what are you doing?

Stop, stop that!

(haunting music)

- Mr. P, how are you, what the hell are you doing?

(mallet thuds)

(body thuds)

(haunting music continues)

- Hey, I'm sorry to bring you into this.

But, do you have a client list we can access quickly?

I've gotta start ruling people out.

- Yeah, I'm sure I'm breaking

some sort of HIPAA violations, but yeah, give me a sec.

Yeah, here.

- Thank you, thank you.

You wouldn't know anything about donors

being paid for their blood, would ya?

- It's me.

- What do you mean, it's you?

- I mean, I'm the one who pays the donors for the blood.

- [Walker] Why would you do that?

I mean, doesn't that defeat the purpose of blood donation?

- Look, these guys come in with nothing.

The least I can do is give 'em some money

for a hot meal, clean bed?

I use my own money.

We don't keep the cash on site.

I didn't think it would be an issue.

(Walker sighs)

- Well, that still puts you onto the crazies.

(Walker sighs)

You need to be more careful.

(Walker sighs)

You okay?

- Yeah, I have to go.

I think all this just hit me.

- Hey, check this out.

I pulled this from the convenience store across the street.

You notice anything?

- That's the same car. - Yes, it is.

- Can you pull the plate?

- I'm working on it.

I should have it in a few.

- Fantastic.

- I'll let you know. - All right, man.

(Walker sighs)

(haunting music)

(tense music)

(fist thudding)

(Vanessa hissing)

(Vanessa hissing)

(rosary clinks)

(flesh sizzling)

(Vanessa groans)

(Walker knocking)

(killer groans)

(killer groans)

(Walker knocking)

(eerie music)

- I'd like to confirm that you own a late model sedan.

- Yeah, it was my mother's.

I reported it stolen.

Is there anything, new evidence?

- Nothing as of yet.

- May I get you a drink?

- No, I'm fine, thank you though.

Do you recall what month, or when exactly

that you made that report for the stolen vehicle?

- I believe it was March something, I don't recall.

- That's a pretty bad gash you got there.

- Woodworking accident.

- Might wanna get that checked out.

- If you'll excuse me, I will grab a rag from the restroom.

- Yeah, sure.

(Walker sighs)

(pills rattle)

(tense music)

(horror music)

(mallet thuds)

(body thuds)

(eerie music)

- Detective Walker can't come to the phone right now.

He's a little tied up.

- [Vanessa] Who is this?

- I'm sorry that I hurt you earlier.

That wasn't my intention.

You see, I'm just,

I'm your biggest fan.

- [Vanessa] Let him go.

- I'm afraid I can't do that.

- [Vanessa] I will tear you apart, and eat your heart.

- As much fun as that sounds,

I have a better idea.

I'd like to make a deal.

A life, for a life.

I wanna be like you.

I want you to make me like you,

and as soon as you do that, I'll return this

sorry excuse for a predator back to you.

And you can have as much fun with him as you want.

So what do you say?

- [Vanessa] All right.

- I'll see you soon.

(eerie music continues)

I'm ready.

You're fast.

- Let him loose.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Turn me first.

- That wasn't part of the deal.

- Well then, I guess I can't hold up my end of the bargain.

(tense music)

(killer groans)

(somber music)

(dramatic music)
