[announcer] Previously onThe Lair...

It is a curse, but what a lovely curse:

to be young forever.

Colin, what are you doing? I'm walling you in.

How could you survive? Bulletproof vest.

[screams]

We have to hunt outside the Lair.

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

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

I could help you free Jonathan.

You had to destroy him, of course.

I can't kill him. I love him.

That is some scar. Looks like it might have been serious.

It's an animal bite.

[roaring] [screaming]

What do you want? Easy, mister!

How about you helping me out for a few days?

Yeah, I could do that.

Ian? What's the matter?

You... You okay?

This lamina orchid thrives only on light

from a full moon.

Do you know how rare these items are?

Yeah, I do. But I can get more.

I checked into those symbols that were carved on the rock.

Let me guess: It's from an ancient temple and there's a curse on it.

I need you to release me from my prison.

Frankie? This is it.

Pretty wild, huh? [gasps]

What the hell's going on here? I think that's my line.

You know what I'm doing?

Yeah. But do you?

You stay away from me.

Thom, I'm not your enemy.

I even helped you find this room.

You shot Sheriff Trout.

But I did not shoot the deputy.

It's... chit-chat best left for another day.

Yeah, okay. Now what?

I think you should be leaving. And I'd take that thing with you if I were you.

Wouldn't want to leave something like that lying around.

Really?

Trust me.

Hey, are you okay?

Never better.

Now, get going while you still can.

Okay.

Chuck,

here's your drink.

Thank you.

How's that working out for you?

Getting better, they tell me.

It's just a pain in the ass.

I'm about at the end of my house-sitting rope.

Gonna go out on patrol tomorrow with the deputy.

Everything's still pretty fuzzy, but

I can get in and out of her car okay.

That's great. I'm glad to hear it.

You've been...

a big help, Ian.

I really mean that.

You want to talk?

Yeah, well, I do.

I want to talk about you.

Look,

I'm sorry about this morning.

I'm worried about you, Ian.

I mean, what puts a man in such a state?

You wouldn't understand. Why?

Some things are better left inside.

They're not meant to be shared.

You know, you don't have to share them with me,

but you can't keep them from yourself, Ian.

Oh, I wish I could, but you're wrong.

You're always on the move, aren't you?

Drifting from place to place,

hitching from town to town.

Now, you tell me that that doesn't sound like

a man who's running away from something.

I never said I was perfect.

This morning, it was...

it was like you were in some kind of a coma or something.

I have a problem.

It... makes me behave

strangely sometimes.

I don't feel good about it, but there's nothing I can do.

I've got a decent doctor. He can look you over.

Don't you get it? No one can help me.

Kid, I've always been the kind of guy

who just liked to clobber his problems,

but this last week has taught me

a little bit about approaching things from a different angle.

I mean, I see the value in letting somebody help you.

You know what? Don't always deny yourself

what someone can give you or the difference it can make.

That's a pretty picture,

and it's all good for you but not for me.

Just let me help you.

I can't. You're just a stubborn kid.

If I thought for a second

that I could wish my troubles away

by just talking about them,

I would.

Just... think about it.

Sure.

Here you go.

Why are you handing me these? I don't have a headache.

This is for the headache you're going to have tomorrow morning.

You're an awfully nice guy, Tim.

You've worked for me, what, 6 months now?

It's been more like a year.

And I don't think I've even said thank you for all the work you've done.

You're more than an assistant to me.

Thank you. You've been really good to me, Jake.

Hey, you called me Jake.

I like that.

You're a little drunk, Jake.

I know.

But I feel like I'm seeing you...

The real you... for the very first time.

[groans] Jake, what is it?

Oh, God! The pain!

All right, let me get you a cold washcloth. Maybe that'll help.

Anything! Please! [groans]

Here you are. Oh, thanks.

Sure. Is that better?

Oh, I don't know what came over me.

It was agonizing!

Feels like my brain was on fire.

I know you probably don't want to hear this right now, but do you remember

what I said about those mold spores being on that old stone?

I remember. I don't want to say I told you so,

but this could all be sinus-related,

directly connected to being around that thing too much.

I feel better now. Can we just drop it till tomorrow?

By then, I suspect you're gonna have one hell of a hangover to contend with as well.

Oh, God. You sound like my mother.

Get some sleep.

I'm gonna go downstairs and turn everything off, okay?

Tim? Yeah?

I meant what I said about you.

I'm glad.

There you are.

Beautiful as ever.

Ah, the doctor's done right by you.

Sure, you look pretty.

Hiding anything shiny in there?

Do that again.

Why, that's... beautiful.

[screams]

[shouts]

[shuddering]

Oh, my God.

Jake?

Jake, wake up. Jake, wake up.

Tim, what is it? Downstairs. The lab.

Spivey. Come on. You got to see this. Calm down.

What are you trying to say? I heard a crash.

It came from the lab, so I went in there, and I found Spivey on the floor.

Did he hurt the lamina?

No, no. But he may have been

trying to steal it, I don't know.

But something happened, and... he's dead.

Are you sure?

Well, not entirely, but he looked dead.

Let's go have a look. Maybe you're mistaken.

Here, put these on.

I don't know why you're giving me these.

I'm not touching him.

Oh, Jesus.

Is he dead? Looks that way.

Maybe he has a condition of some sort.

[Tim] But look at that face. How do you explain that?

It looks like fungus.

Jake, the lamina.

[Jake] Don't worry, Tim. It's okay.

[Tim] No, no, no. You don't understand.

When I came in here, the bud was open. It was in full bloom.

Do you think it had anything to do with this?

Well, now who's behaving strangely?

Come on. We got to figure out what to do next.

I'd better call someone. Why do you want to do that?

Jake, there's a dead man in your house. We've got to do something.

And we will. But I'm not sure

calling the police is the right thing to do.

What other choice do we have?

Think about it. He came here to rob us.

We got lucky, he got unlucky.

But I can't have the authorities crawling all around this place.

They'd want to shut the room off.

It could ruin everything.

Jake, you're not thinking straight.

We've worked so hard reviving the lamina.

I can't take any chance of having that work come undone

just because some old bum decided to break in here and rob us.

Listen to what you're saying. You don't sound like yourself anymore.

I'm not myself, Tim.

I'm the new Jake, remember? The new Jake. The one you wanted me to be.

I never said that. That's not what I meant.

Well, I'm thinking about the both of us right now, and I say we get rid of him.

What? Sure.

We'll put him where he's easy to be found and let the cops take it from there.

You understand?

All right. But it has to be done now, tonight.

I can't stay in this house with him here. It's creepy.

You won't regret this.

And in a few hours, it'll all be over,

and everything'll be back to normal.

Nothing's ever gonna be normal around here again.

Good.

I don't like touching him.

What if that's some sort of disease he has?

I don't have an answer for that.

But the more distance between him and us, the better.

This'll have to do.

Are you kidding me? Right here, by the side of the road?

Of course.

There's a lot of traffic here in early mornings.

Someone's bound to find him, and that'll be that.

We're gonna drop his body here, just like that?

He's already dead.

There's nothing more we can do for him.

Now, give me a hand before someone sees us.

What am I supposed to do now?

I need blood.

What?

I need blood, Thom.

Your blood.

You lied to me.

You told me that I could save you, that I could rescue you.

You can.

Really?

What is that thing upstairs?

That is me.

Not a pretty sight, I'll admit,

but there are all sorts of

ups and downs in this business.

It's not always a bed of roses.

That... rotted creature is you?

That's the grim reality of it. Yes.

But not for long.

After 200 years, what you see on the outside of me

is just a facade,

an illusion sustained by the painting,

the portrait that curses me.

I can be whole again with your help,

with your blood.

I will not let you kill me.

And I don't want to. I'm just asking

for a little blood, a little,

given willingly. No!

We've come so far,

and you've done so well,

but you have to finish it.

You saw Jonathan.

I've seen what he's become.

So then you know I'm speaking truthfully.

I know what he is,

but I cannot destroy him.

You don't have to. I will do it.

Just help me now, and I'll give you anything you want.

You're just trying to trick me.

What do you desire most?

Think about it.

Anything you want.

I can't believe this.

You're trying to make a deal with me.

Why not?

We both have things we desire. Why not just come to terms?

We're bargaining for my blood.

How sick is that?

Fine. You know what?

I want Laura out of jail. Can you do that?

Just say the word.

All you have to do is give me my life back.

Do that, and I will make sure

that Laura walks, free and clear.

Free and clear? No strings attached? No funny business?

You can do that?

There's so much that I can do for you,

so much that I can show you.

Just give me the chance,

the opportunity.

Trust me.

Please.

I don't know what to do.

[announcer] Next time onThe Lair...

We've got another problem on our hands.

Another body? Yep. This one's up at Sylvester Road.

What the hell is going on here?

Thom. Hi. I'm Ian.

Would you like to come in for a minute?

Listen, I've got some new information on the Lair. I need your help.

At this time,

I am unable to grant bail for Miss Rivers.

Maybe you and I could swap lives.

I don't think you'd want my life.

Don't count on it, brother.

Ian?

He's got this flower, right?

And it's making my life miserable.

You act like it's out to get you. I think it is.

Something's going on in this town,

and I mean to get to the bottom of it.
