ANNOUNCER: Previously on "The Lair."

What I'm trying to tell you is that all those murders you've

been writing about for the past year

are all linked to that club-- The Lair.

Whoa. Members only.

[SCREAMS]

He's not dead.

It's almost like a vampire's bite.

I'm not even sure what this is.

I think it's got something to do with the John Doe murders.

"Myths and Legends of the Coast."

THOM: This is where I've seen it before.

MAN: There's a curse.

But what a lovely curse--

to be young forever.

It's time.

Time to rise.

Now, the only way you can join him is in death.

Oh my God, Thom.

I mean, what can make a person do something

like that against their will?

It's a fool's folly, my friend,

and one that I'm certain is going

to bring about his downfall.

How can you be so sure of that?

Because I plan to cause it.

Thom.

I want you to come to me, Thom.

Are you trying to run out on me?

I don't want to go home because you're there.

I think he's coming around.

Who am I?

I've protected it for all these years.

No one has ever--

someone here has betrayed me.

I want to find out who it is.

I went in to change the dressing on his throat.

And I noticed the wound had healed.

How can that be? You

Think Eric can endanger us.

Let's be cautious.

[SCREAMS]

Is he really dead this time, I mean, for sure?

Pick up the knife.

And now you know what to do.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Shit.

What the hell are you doing?

Laura, stop.

Wake up.

You don't-- wake up.

Just stop.

What's the matter with you?

You don't want to do this.

Put the knife down.

Just put the knife down.

What the hell you two doing in here?

THOM: Stay back. She's got a knife.

Laura, calm down.

Put the knife down.

Give me the knife.

Give me the knife, or I'll take it from you.

Oh, my god.

Don't just sit there, call 911.

Will you snap out of it?

What's the trouble kid?

This man needs a medic.

He's been stabbed. - Hey.

Step on it doc.

You got a patient up here in a bad way.

Who did it?

I did.

I don't know why.

I don't even know why I'm in this room.

You guys sound like a broken record.

Doc?

Sheriff, this man's dead.

- Oh, God, no! - All right.

Cover him up, and don't touch anything.

Of course.

SHERIFF TROUT: Who is he?

Your boyfriend?

He the one that gave you that shiner?

What was he doing here?

Don't say anything.

Wait for a lawyer.

That's the law.

LAURA: I'd tell you, but I don't know.

I mean, I can't remember anything.

Damn it, I've had just about enough

of this I don't remember crap.

Sheriff, please.

Can't you see she's in no condition to talk?

SHERIFF TROUT: Stow it, Doc.

I come in here after loading up a walking

stick for the second time and find the two of you

with a dead man on the floor, and all you can say

is I can't remember?

It's the truth!

I was-- I was downstairs.

I was making a sandwich.

The next thing I know, I'm here in this room and Jimmy's dead.

SHERIFF TROUT: Yeah, Jimmy's dead all right,

and you killed him.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

MAN: Oh, yeah. Oh.

Do you have news for me?

I've heard things--

things about your portrait.

Portrait?

You should tell me what you know then, shouldn't you?

I heard it's in the old storage room at the west end

of the building.

Just like that.

How convenient.

Why didn't you just bring it to me then?

I tried to, but the door was bolted.

I couldn't open it.

For all the years I've known you,

you've never lifted a finger and helped me willingly.

Now you come to me with the information

I need and give it to me freely.

You told us to look for your painting.

I-- I thought that's what you wanted.

It is.

I just want to know what your motivation is.

What do you want?

I want nothing.

Of course you do, and I want to know what it is.

Well, if I could have anything, I--

I'd want to be like you.

Be like me?

Something so simple?

I want to live forever.

I don't want to die.

You're afraid of death, aren't you, Francis?

I am.

Then I hope you're not wasting my time.

That portrait is something I wouldn't joke about.

Honest.

I'm only telling you what I heard, Damian.

Is Colin behind this?

I can't say.

[INAUDIBLE]

What's the date today?

March 15.

Why?

No reason.

No reason at all.

SHERIFF TROUT: I know this doesn't

mean anything to you two, but we found another body tonight.

It was the body of a man who turned

up dead about a week ago.

I don't get it.

Well, the body, after lying at the morgue for a few days,

decided it wasn't dead and got up and walked out.

It's about the necklace, the amulet that Tom had.

Maybe it has some sort of power.

Maybe it can bring back the dead.

But around here, death is just the beginning.

I should get back to the hospital.

The morgue is filling up pretty fast tonight.

People are going to be looking for answers.

All right.

I've got to take Miss Rivers into custody.

DR. BELMONT: I understand that, but remember,

she's had a pretty strong shock and is very fragile right now.

Please treat her gently.

Don't worry, Doc.

I'll wear my best kid gloves.

Can I go with you?

I'll be all right.

Don't-- don't worry.

Sheriff?

Sure, but as soon as I get my hands on that search warrant,

I'm burning rubber over to The Lair.

When that happens, I want to be there.

SHERIFF TROUT: Good.

Go get your stuff. Come on.

Let's go.

Look.

The door's been opened.

Someone has been here.

You're right, Francis.

For once in your miserable life, you're right.

It seems I've been a bad fellow, and it shows.

COLIN: Good work, Frankie.

Tomorrow belongs to me.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Look, I hate to keep you in here,

miss, but it might be the biggest

favor I could do for you.

I'm not afraid anymore.

SHERIFF TROUT: Just the same, if someone's

trying to kill you kids, it's going to be a lot harder

for them to get you in here.

I know that it's hard to believe.

I-- I wouldn't believe it myself if I

wasn't in the middle of this.

But there is a power at work here.

It's-- it's an evil force of some kind that takes

control of people's minds.

It makes them forget.

It makes them try to kill themselves.

Makes them try to kill others?

It's crazy, but you know I'm right.

For a moment, let's just say I believe everything

you're telling me, OK?

What's my next move?

I don't know.

If they're witches, the amulet that Thom had

could be the key to their power.

But if they're vampires?

Who knows? A wooden stake?

A cross?

What if they're both?

Just-- just tell me you'll be careful.

Don't worry about me.

I can handle these guys dead or alive.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I see you've decided to join me.

Are you looking for this?

Well, don't.

Colin, what are you doing?

That should be very apparent.

I'm walling you in alive. - But why?

It's really quite simple if you think about it.

You see, you've become bad for business--

a liability.

For some time, I've watched you spiral downward

from that great leader that you once

were to this pathetic lovestruck fool that would destroy us.

This family needs great leadership,

the kind that I can give it.

But as you've pointed out so often, we needed that portrait,

or we were all doomed.

This is really in the best interests of all of us.

You remain alive, and the portrait is protected.

Satisfies both requirements.

And what of the family?

Do you think they'll approve of your little power play?

Most of them already know, and those who don't?

They'll come around to my way of thinking soon enough.

You see, you put yourself above the good of the rest of us,

and that is a very bad position to be in, as you can now see.

I will not be defeated so easily, Colin.

Your rule over the family will be a very short-lived one.

And one that I will enjoy immensely.

Goodbye, my friend.

It's a pity that you can't die.

Enjoy eternity.

I know I will.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DAMIAN: No!

No!

COLIN: When I snap my fingers, you'll awaken from your dream.

[SNAP]

Oh, my god.

My head.

Better?

Hey, where am I?

You're in The Lair, and it's almost dawn.

Who are you, and why am I a-- a prisoner here?

You've run afoul of a very old and respected family.

We don't take lightly to outsiders.

You and your boyfriend should have left well enough alone.

Where is Jonathan?

Oh, you're going to see him soon enough.

The truth is we're a coven of vampires,

and when the sun sets again, you're going to die.

You can't be serious.

COLIN: You're just going to have to trust me on this one.

But I'll be back later to prove it to you.

Well, I got it.

Took waking a few people up and, uh, they

weren't too happy about it.

So now we can get inside and look for Thom.

We can go have a look see.

But why all this sudden concern for your pal Thom?

You starting to get your memory back?

No.

OK, but don't hold out on me, all right?

The moment you remember anything,

you tell me immediately. - I will.

What?

I heard them say that your wound

had healed almost completely.

Said it was a miracle, but I never really believed it.

Well?

I do now.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Let's go clubbing.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, the better part of the day has passed,

and with the sunset, I will finally face my enemies.

I wonder if I'm supposed to wind up in a ditch like the others

or if something even worse is in store for me.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoever's behind this, thank you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[YELLING]

Hello?

Anybody here?

Dr. Belmont, please.

Thom? What's happening?

They've been looking everywhere for you.

It's kind of a long story.

I just need to know about Jonathan.

Is he there? Is he all right?

Well, he went home yesterday, but a lot of things

have happened since then.

What are you saying?

DR. BELMONT (ON PHONE): Jonathan is with Sheriff Trout.

Last I heard, they were at the sheriff's department.

Laura Rivers is in trouble. - Laura?

Is she hurt?

No.

Thom, she stabbed her boyfriend.

He's dead, and she's under arrest.

I'm going over there right now.

Well, Thom, wait!

Now, listen up, both of you.

Just because I'm holding this search warrant

doesn't mean we're not in danger in this place, OK?

I just want to see if we can find any evidence of what's

been going on, and if we're lucky,

maybe we'll find your missing boyfriend, OK?

Don't expect a warm welcome.

- Can I at least hold a gun? - Sorry, kid.

You ain't no deputy.

Rogers, you ready?

Ready as I'll ever be.

I don't like this.

OK. Inside.

All right.

Laura said she thought they were vampires.

If that's true, then they might all be asleep.

Vampires?

You didn't say anything about any vampires.

Can it, Rogers.

I said she thought they were vampires, all right?

It's not the same thing.

What if they think they're vampires?

Then we have a big problem, don't we?

All right. Listen up.

Rogers, I want you to go straight

up through that hallway.

I'm going to go back into the work areas.

What about me?

I'd stay close by the front door if I were you, kid.

Put out a holler if you see anything, OK?

- You can bet on it. - All right.

Take off.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OK, guys.

Wakey, wakey. Rise and shine.

OK.

Stay right there. Stay right there.

[SCREAMING]

[DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING] - Oh, my God.

Laura!

Thom, you're all right!

Where have you been?

Everybody thought you were dead.

I know.

That was a distinct possibility, but I'm OK.

What happened to you?

I was under some sort of psychic spell.

We tried to tell the sheriff, but I

don't think he believed me.

You know how you tried to hang yourself

and you couldn't stop it from happening?

Yeah.

I tried to stab Jonathan last night.

He got out of the way, but Jimmy--

Jimmy wasn't so lucky, and he's dead.

I killed him.

I know.

Dr. Belmont told me.

I think you're right about the coven in the book.

They're not a legend.

They're real, and they know who we are.

At The Lair-- it's their home.

It's where they've been hiding.

It's perfect for them.

The sheriff just laughed at me.

Where's Jonathan?

He's with Sheriff Trout.

They got a search warrant and they're at The Lair

looking for you. - Damn it.

I've got to warn them.

Thom, you are all I have left.

I know.

Don't worry.

[DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING]

Couldn't stay away, I see.

You know, you really should apply for membership.

It has so many rewards.

You.

Ah, so now you remember, and I can see why.

Damian's power over you has been--

well, cut off.

But none of that really matters now that you're here.

Where's Thom?

Oh, I wouldn't worry about him.

I'd be much more concerned about what's going to happen next.

Yeah, well, you should be too.

Well, the gang's all here.

Sheriff, this man is trespassing.

Don't you want to arrest him?

He's with me, and I have a search warrant.

Well, by all means, please, search to your heart's content.

I already did, but all I found was you.

What are you going to do now?

Charge me with a crime?

What would it be?

I don't know yet, but we're all

going to head down to the station

until I can think of something.

Oh, I don't think I can do that.

You see, my eyes are a little too sensitive to the sunlight.

[LAUGHTER]

Put some sunglasses on, you freak,

because we're leaving now.

Move it!

Sheriff, look out! Look out!

[GUNSHOTS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER]

Jonathan!

Oh, my God, you're OK.

Thom, we came here looking for you.

They had me locked up.

They were going to kill me, but I got away.

I'm going to go check the sheriff.

I think he's hurt really bad.

Oh, my God.

We got to call somebody.

This guy needs help.

[SCREAMING]
