[Announcer] Previously onThe Lair...

Aah!

Colin, what are you doing?

I'm walling you in...

alive.

Pick up the knife.

And now you know what to do.

Uhh!

[coughs]

How could he survive?

Bulletproof vest.

[screams, gasps]

We have an employee, our janitor.

His name's Frankie.

Maybe he and the Sheriff had a run-in?

This will be resolved.

But until then, we have to hunt...

outside The Lair.

Ian.

I'm Riley.

You live around here?

Uh, me? No.

I could use the company.

You mean... hang out here?

With you?

I need you to go through those old files.

Pull me everything you can find on The Lair.

How far back? I want everything.

I don't care if it's 100 years old or older.

I want to know what was at that address before it was The Lair.

That is some scar.

Looks like it might have been serious.

It's an animal bite.

Let's just... leave it at that.

[groaning]

[throwing up]

I got a stalled pick-up truck.

Thom.

Thom!

Thom?

Thom.

Thom!

You!

Don't be afraid.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Stay away from me!

Thom.

I can't tell you how sorry I am

that I placed you in such danger.

I could never harm you.

I love you.

You got a funny way of showing it.

At The Lair, you were good as dead.

I'm the one who saved your life.

You kept me a captive!

I had to.

It was for your own good.

I know what I'm saying seems hard to believe,

but you have to understand that I only want the best for you.

For us.

"Us"? There's no "us"!

You act like we're some sort of cute couple

having a lovers' spat!

There's no "us." You killed Jonathan!

No, I didn't!

That was Colin.

Colin was the one that wanted Jonathan to cross over, not me!

You have to trust me.

Trust you? You must think I'm crazy!

You know what? Maybe I am.

Maybe this isn't even really happening.

Maybe you're just a bad dream.

You're half right, Thom.

I'm not really here.

But I am speaking to you, and I need your help.

You need my help?

You want to kill me because I know all about you.

What can you know about me?

What does anyone know about me?

If you understood me so well,

you would know how much I care for you!

I've put my whole world in jeopardy to be with you!

I'm not whoever you think I am!

It might take a while for you to understand,

but I can't wait long.

Colin is busy at work against me.

My very existence is at stake.

I will convince you, Thom.

And I will have you believe in me.

[passionate breathing]

Ohh...

[moaning]

Ohh!

Ms. Rivers?

Sheriff Trout. Are you all right?

I've been better.

How are you holdin' up?

[snickers]

Everything's a disaster.

I haven't seen the judge yet, so I can't get bail.

Probably wouldn't get it anyway,

even if I could afford it.

Well, Judge Hayes is a pretty fair lady.

I'm sure she'll work somethin' out for you.

Hey, uh, have you seen Thom?

He went to The Lair that night looking for you.

Did you see him?

I... I think I did.

Last night's still pretty hazy.

I'm havin' trouble remembering everything.

[sighs]

He's okay... I guess.

Good. That's real good.

Listen, I gotta to go.

I'll check back in on you later.

Careful. Step.

[gasp]

[sighs]

[sigh]

[chuckles]

Oh, my God.

Jonathan is lost to you forever.

He's one of Colin's family now.

Get out.

How can I convince you of my sincerity?

How about leaving and never coming back?

Jonathan would actually kill you

if the urge came over him.

He's weak, and that makes him dangerous.

You can't be with him any longer.

It would cost you your life.

Well, I can't leave him like he is.

I can't let him be like you.

Help me, and I'll help you.

What do you want from me?

I need a physical body to help me

with the heavy lifting.

I need you to release me from my prison.

[snickers]

And what are you gonna do for Jonathan?

There's only one way out from the spot he's in now.

It's gonna take a lot of courage on your part.

Think about it.

The window of opportunity is short.

And don't forget about your friend Laura.

She might need my help, too.

It would be a pity if something bad happened to her.

Give it some thought.

[police radio chatter]

1, 2... [straining]

Let's go this way.

[police radio chatter]

Battery's dead.

Step away from the vehicle, please.

Sorry, Sheriff. I was just lookin'.

I ain't the Sheriff. I'm the deputy.

Right.

Looks like you had a pretty bad accident here. What happened?

I didn't catch your name, mister.

It's Matt.

[snickers] Mainlander.

You have no jurisdiction here.

I didn't say I did.

I just asked what happened.

[sighs] Sorry, pal.

This just has us all a little strung out.

Vince was a good friend to a lot of people around here.

Came up here to check on this truck.

It was dark, and somebody hit him,

goin' real fast.

And the body got tossed all the way into that ditch?

Near as I can figure.

He's all messed up.

Let me ask you a question.

You ever seen this kid?

Nope. Bail jumper?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey, Deputy?

What station's 98?

Uh, that's the, uh, classical music station.

Nobody listens to that.

Thanks.

[motor starts]

So? What'd you find out?

Well, they said I could talk to Sheriff Trout today...

at his house.

He's doing pretty well, but the doctors are having him rest up anyway.

But if he's not the acting sheriff,

can he even help me?

He can vouch for you.

His name pulls a lot of weight around here.

And he knows what really happened.

Whether or not he wants to believe it or not's another story,

but I won't know till I meet with him.

Wait till you see him.

He isdifferent.

He's all spacey and distant.

I wanted to let you know that Dr. Belmont

has gone to bat for me.

He told them to have me evaluated.

Evaluated for what?

Mental trauma is what he calls it.

Yeah, I know.

I know I'm not crazy,

but, um, it might be the only way

to get out of here.

Well, if you start talking about vampires,

you're sure to get some kind of reaction.

You know, Thom, I am so scared.

I mean, I know I killed Jimmy. I just don't know why.

I don't even know if I can explain myself.

What's gonna happen to me?

Let's not do all that right now.

First thing is to get you out of here and back home.

You know, you're the only friend I have right now.

I can't even locate my parents.

I'll help you find them.

Hey, I grabbed some of your personal files from the office.

I made copies for the judge.

Oh, yeah, like that's gonna impress them.

Hey, you never know. It might.

Don't lose faith.

Maybe I'll have some good news for you soon.

I've got Ritchie working on a few things,

and as soon as I have something, I'll let you know.

You're not serious.

You're thinking of going back to that place?

I have to. No!

I'll be better prepared this time.

Thom, don't.

I mean, we are both alive,

and that should be all that matters right now.

Oh, yeah? What about Jonathan?

Thom, he's dead.

Sheriff Trout.

Thom.

I was asking about you down by the station,

and they said maybe I could see you.

Maybe I could chat with you for a little bit?

Sit down.

What'd you want to talk about?

How about the other night at The Lair for starters?

What about it?

Sheriff, are you okay?

Just get to the point, Thom.

The point is that both of us saw them.

The... vampires?

They tried to kill us? Remember?

Vampires?

Look, I... I remember a guy

coming out of nowhere with a gun.

I remember returning fire, and he got away, and I didn't.

I heard the bulletproof vest saved your life.

Yeah, well, it didn't save my sight.

I didn't know.

Well, now you do.

But don't get all worked up over it, okay?

It's only temporary.

At least that's what they're telling me.

Is there anything else I can help you with, Thom?

Laura Rivers.

Okay, shoot.

I think she should be allowed bail,

or at least be put under house arrest.

We both know she's not a dangerous person.

Kid, she killed her boyfriend.

Yeah, but she was under some kind of spell,

some kind of magic.

Magic? Vampires?

I... I don't know what you're talkin' about.

But you might want to consider holding back that kind of talk

when you get to court.

Come on, Sheriff, you were there.

You saw them. Why don't you remember?

Look, it's all still pretty hazy.

I... I know I went there, and...

the rest is just kind of foggy.

I was attacked... by Jonathan.

He's a vampire now.

I woke up with bite marks on my neck in my house...

Would you stop that already?

Okay.

Okay.

I'll check into Ms. Rivers' situation,

find out what the judge thinks.

If I can put in a good word for her, I will.

Thanks.

And they said she's undergoing some kind of psych evaluation.

Maybe it'll help her.

Maybe.

But right now, I gotta go make a few phone calls.

Seems like this whole town has been turned upside down.

Again.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Just don't get under my feet.

I know my way back to the house.

You're staying here by yourself?

Why not?

I don't need any help.

I don't need anybody.

[gasping]

[retching]

[spits]

[crying]

[weeping]

You can't let these get turned away

from their principle light source.

And it's not used to things changing too quickly.

You keep this up and you might confuse it.

You act like that thing has feelings.

Well, it certainly has some limited intellect.

Everything does.

Hey, it's kind of like this Venus Flytrap.

No, that's a different sort of species altogether.

[knock at door]

I'll get it.

No, you finish here. I'll see who it is.

Okay.

[knocking]

Good day, Doctor. I came as soon as I could.

And I've got just what the doctor ordered.

Bring that around back! I thought I told you not to use the front door.

That wasn't nearly as easy to obtain

as one might guess by looking at it.

Is that right?

True enough.

It was way back in the woods like you said.

But it was all overgrown and dangerous to be treadin' about.

I'm sure you've earned your more-than-adequate pay, Mr. Spivey.

I did.

Yes. But one was left alive.

And it was rooted so firmly to that stone...

that I had to bring the entire piece back with me.

These bindings have almost destroyed it completely.

So?

Are we done here?

[sigh] Of course. [snickers]

Oh, I never...

saw this in the dark.

This could be worth...

Here.

Thank you very much.

And if there's anything else that you need...

Good-bye, Mr. Spivey.

Have a look.

What is it?

With any luck, its a lumino orchis.

There's always been a rumor of a rare plant that grows

near the salt marsh in the center of the island...

One that only blooms at night.

I put the word out that I would offer a certain amount of money

if someone could bring me a live specimen.

And this guy Spivey came out of the woodwork.

What are these carvings about?

This looks like a fragment from a larger stone tablet.

Hey, you know what? Maybe it's from the Commonwealth Queen.

What's the Commonwealth Queen?

It's this old ship that ran aground here about a hundred or so years ago.

The entire crew went missing.

What was their cargo?

Um, I don't know. It's mostly legend now.

I'm sure it could've had some weird plants and historical artifacts.

Certainly, some gold coins.

A lot of those started showing up later.

Who knows?

Now, give me a hand with this, will you?

Are we going to the greenhouse?

No. This one's going to the lab.

So we're going to the garage.

Yes. The garage.

This thing looks like it's on its last legs.

It needs special treatment.

[moaning]

[grunting] Yeah.

Take it.

Come on, take it. Take it.

Ohh...

What? Ohh!

[grunting]

Take it. Take that.

Like that?

Huh? Do you like it?

What are you guys doing?

The lumino orchisgets its power from the moon.

This generates artificial moonlight.

With any luck, we'll be able to nurse this specimen back to perfect health.

Now, let's give it a chance to respond.

[Announcer] Next time onThe Lair...

Listen, friend, I only came by here because I care about you.

You don't need to throw me out. I'm gettin' the message.

It's for your own good. Trust me.

You are gonna help me, Thom...

whether you like it or not.

What do you want me to do?

You're more trouble to me than you're worth.

[moaning passionately]

It's the lumino orchis. You gotta see it for yourself.

Do you know how rare these items are?

Yeah, I do. And I can get more.

I'm in.

Nice little town you got here.

Used to be. Not anymore.

What do you want?

Easy, mister! I... I can explain.

How come I don't believe you?

Well, I guess you're just gonna have to

trust me on that one.

[grunts]
