Moonlight (2007–2008): Season 1, Episode 13 - Fated to Pretend - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON "MOONLIGHT"...

- WHAT ARE YOU?
-I'M A VAMPIRE.

YOU REALLY HATE BEING
A VAMPIRE, DON'T YOU?

JOSH!

- TURN HIM. HE'LL LIVE.
- THAT'S NOT LIVING, BETH.

HE'S HUMAN.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

ONE OF THESE DAYS,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO STOP
HATING THE WAY YOU ARE.

THERE IS SOME KIND OF CURE.

I HAVE TO FIND IT.

I'VE WAITED TO FEEL
HUMAN FOR A LONG TIME...



BUT I FORGOT HOW PAINFUL
IT CAN BE.

ARE YOU HUMAN?

FOR NOW, YEAH.

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

IT FEELS AMAZING.

IT'S BEEN 55 YEARS
SINCE I SLEPT IN A BED,

FELT THE SOFTNESS AND WARMTH
OF PILLOWS AND BLANKETS.

DO I MISS SLEEPING
IN AN INDUSTRIAL FREEZER?

WOULD YOU?

IT'S BEEN 6 DAYS,
8 HOURS AND 42 MINUTES

SINCE I TOOK THE CURE
THAT TURNED ME FROM A VAMPIRE

BACK INTO A HUMAN,

AND I'M ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.

I GET TO TRADE IN
MY USUAL BREAKFAST OF BLOOD



FOR FRESH-SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...

COFFEE.

COFFEE'S A LOT BETTER
THAN IT WAS HALF A CENTURY AGO,

OR MAYBE THESE DAYS,
I JUST THINK EVERYTHING IS BETTER.

VAMPIRES DON'T EAT FOOD.

WE CAN'T TASTE IT,
AND WE CAN'T DIGEST IT.

MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE WORRYING
ABOUT THEIR CHOLESTEROL RIGHT NOW.

ME? I'M GOING FOR IT.

SURE, NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S IN IT,

BUT I USED TO BE A VAMPIRE.
YOU THINK I CARE?

CARPE DIEM, RIGHT?

SEIZE THE DAY...

ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE SPENT
SO LONG SLEEPING THROUGH THEM.

TODAY I JUST DON'T FEEL
LIKE I'M 85 YEARS OLD...

BUT I AM.

I'M AN 85-YEAR-OLD
FORMER VAMPIRE.

SURE, I'M LIVING ON BORROWED TIME,

BUT I'M NOT DWELLING
ON THAT PART.

HOW CAN I
WHEN THERE'S SO MUCH LIVING TO DO?

- HI.
- QUITE A SPREAD.

WELL, I REALIZED
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU LIKE,

- SO I GOT A BIT OF EVERYTHING.
- LOOKS GREAT.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

SO DO YOU.
MORTALITY SUITS YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU.

I FORGOT HOW LONG
IT TAKES TO HEAL UP, THOUGH.

WOW. WILL THEY SCAR?

I HADN'T ACTUALLY THOUGHT OF THAT.

I MIGHT NEED TO FIND MYSELF
A GOOD PLASTIC SURGEON.

LUCKY WE LIVE IN L.A., RIGHT?

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU SO HAPPY.

IT'S LIKE A WHOLE NEW YOU.

NO. THIS IS THE OLD ME
FROM WHEN I WAS STILL HUMAN.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

UNTIL YOU TURN BACK?

I DON'T KNOW.

SIX MONTHS, MAYBE.

MAYBE LESS.

BUT I'M MAKING EVERY DAY COUNT.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY REGRETS.

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU CALLED.

I WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR JOSH'S DEATH.

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE ASKED YOU
TO TURN HIM INTO A VAMPIRE.

HE WOULDN'T HAVE WANTED THAT.

AT THE FUNERAL,

YOU WERE WEARING HIS RING.

YES.

YES, I WAS,

BUT, UM, I REALIZED THAT
EVEN IF HE HAD PROPOSED TO ME,

I WOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO SAY YES.

WHY NOT?

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE...

HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE...

AND I CARE ABOUT HIM A LOT.

AND, UH...

I THINK IT'S TIME HE FIGURED OUT
WHAT HE'S GONNA DO ABOUT IT.

I SEE PALM SPRINGS,
MID-CENTURY, RAT PACK...

I'VE BEEN THERE.
I'VE DONE THAT.

BUT WE'VE UPDATED IT
TO FIT THE 21st CENTURY.

- THINK CLOONEY.
- NO, THINK KOSTAN.

MICK!

JUST LEAVE THE PLANS, OKAY?
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

BOY, NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU THROW INTO THIS,

REMODELING'S A BITCH.
ARE YOU--

- ARE YOU TAN?
- AM I?

- I DON'T KNOW.
- I HAD LUNCH AT THE BEACH WITH BETH.

NOT SOMETHING YOU'LL
BE DOING ANY TIME SOON.

MM. AND HOW DID THAT GO?
YOU SEAL THE DEAL YET?

- IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.
- WELL, SURE IT IS.

BOY LIKES GIRL, GIRL LIKES BOY.

DIDN'T YOUR DAD
EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS?

OKAY, AND WHEN I TURN BACK?

WELL, VAMPIRES AND HUMANS
CAN HAVE SEX, MICK.

- THIS ISN'T ABOUT PHYSIOLOGY.
- AND IT ISN'T ABOUT SEX.

OF COURSE IT'S ABOUT SEX.
EVERYTHING'S ABOUT SEX.

I'M 58 YEARS OLDER than her,ok?

I SLEEP IN A FREEZER.

I DRINK BLOOD
I BUY FROM THE MORGUE,

- AND I HAVE THIS TENDENCY TO BITE DOWN WHEN I--
- SOME WOMEN LIKE THAT.

YOU KEEP COMING UP
WITH ALL THESE EXCUSES.

YOU'RE NOT AFRAID BETH'S GONNA GET HURT.
YOU'RE AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA GET HURT.

- I... AM IN LOVE WITH HER.
- YEAH.

YEAH, YOU ARE.

NOW GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

HEY, MAUREEN. WHAT'S UP?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF YOU.

OH, I WAS--
I GUESS I GET BAD RECEPTION THERE.

Yeah, well, playtime's over.
I'M AT "BuzzWire."

- GET YOURSELF DOWN HERE.
- NOW? C-CAN IT WAIT to the morning?

OH, COME ON. NEWS DOESN'T CARE
WHAT TIME IT IS.

- I've got a hot lead on a story.
- OKAY, WAIT--

- 20 minutes, my office.
- OKAY, I THINK I--

MAUREEN, IF THIS IS ANOTHER
BRANGELINA ALIEN BABY THING, I SWEAR TO--

OH, MY GOD.

MAUREEN?

NO. MAUREEN!

NO! NO! NO!

MAUREEN?

HELP.

SOMEBODY HELP!

THANK YOU.

MS. TURNER?

HI. BEN TALBOT FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
IT'S A PLEASURE.

YOU'RE A REPORTER HERE, RIGHT?

MAUREEN WILLIAMS WAS YOUR EDITOR?

YEAH, SHE WANTED to meet mehere SAID SHE
HAD THE LEAD ON A STORY SHE WAS WORKING ON.

DID SHE SAY ??

NO, BUT SHE WOULDN'T OVER THE PHONE.

SHE ALWAYS LIKED TO KEEP

THE REALLY HOT STORIES UNDER WRAPS
UNTIL SHE HAD ENOUGH TO GO ONLINE.

UH, HAS ANYONE FOUND HER COMPUTER?

NO. NOT YET.

SHE NEVER WENT ANYWHERE WITHOUT IT.

I-IF IT'S NOT HERE,
I THINK THE KILLER TOOK IT.

SO YOU REALLY THINK A PICTURE
IS WORTH MURDERING FOR?

THIS ISN'T JUST A TRASHY TABLOID.

NO OFFENSE,
BUT, YEAH, IT KIND OF IS.

WE COVER SERIOUS NEWS STORIES HERE,

ONE OF WHICH JUST GOT
MAUREEN KILLED.

- BETH. BETH, WHAT HAPPENED?
- MAUREEN--

SHE WAS MURDERED.
AND YOU ARE?

I'M MICK ST. JOHN.
I'M A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR.

RIGHT. YEAH, OF COURSE.
I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU.

- GOOD THINGS?
- NO. NOT REALLY.

EXCUSE ME.

- ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
- NOT REALLY.

ok

- YOU READY?
- YEAH.

SINGLE GUNSHOT WOUND
TO THE HEAD,.38 CALIBER.

POWDER BURNS
AROUND THE ENTRY WOUND.

SHE WAS SHOT AT CLOSE RANGE.

MAYBE SHE KNEW HER KILLER.

DOUBT IT.
YOU REALLY CAN'T SMELL IT?

GIVE ME A HINT.

STARTS WITH A "V."
YOU USED TO BE ONE?

MAUREEN WAS KILLED BY A VAMPIRE?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT,
BUT SHE WAS DEFINITELY AROUND ONE.

WHY WOULD A VAMPIRE ??

TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A HUMAN CRIME.

- WHAT?
- YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT, MAN.

YOU BEING HUMAN, IT'S UNNATURAL.

WELL, THANKS.
THAT'S, UH, THAT'S NICE.

- CALL 'EM LIKE I SEE 'EM.
- WHATEVER.

HEY, WHAT ABOUT THAT GALLON
OF A-POSITIVE I GOT STOCKED UP?

MAN, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
THAT DRINKS THAT STUFF.

BREAKING AND ENTERING WAS MUCH MORE FUN
WHEN YOU WERE A VAMPIRE.

IT'S A SHAME YOU CAN'T STILL DO
THAT SEXY VAMPIRE JUMPING THING.

YEAH, WELL, THE JUMPING WAS KIND OF TIED
WITH THE WHOLE BLOODSUCKING THING.

THE KILLER MAY HAVE MAUREEN'S LAPTOP,
BUT SHE WAS OBSESSIVE ABOUT BACKING THINGS UP.

TRUST ME, THERE'S GOTTA BE A U.S.B. DRIVE
STASHED HERE SOMEWHERE.

OKAY, WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.
THE POLICE ARE GONNA BE HERE SOON.

NOTHING IN THE KITCHEN.
WE GOTTA NARROW DOWN THE HIDING PLACES.

IT'S ALL ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY,
PEOPLE HIDE THINGS IN THE LAST PLACE

THEY THINK ANYONE ELSE IS GONNA LOOK.

- TAMPONS.
- EXCUSE ME?

I ALWAYS HIDE MY NICE JEWELRY
IN A BOX OF TAMPONS.

YEAH, OKAY. I'LL ADMIT
THAT'S THE LAST PLACE I WOULD LOOK.

UH, IF MY JEWELRY GOES MISSING,

I'LL KNOW WHO TOOK IT.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING.

OKAY.

TRAVIS.

OH, HI.

HI. HEY.

HEY, DON'T WORRY.
WE'LL FIND SOMEONE TO LOOK AFTER YOU.

GOD, FIRST JOSH, AND NOW MAUREEN.

YOU ONCE TOLD ME
THAT EVERYONE YOU LOVE DIES.

I'M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE.

NO, NOT A GOOD IDEA.
ANIMALS ARE NATURALLY AFRAID OF...

OF VAMPIRES.

I THINK HE LIKES YOU.

OKAY.

IT'S ALL PASSWORD-PROTECTED.
I CAN'T OPEN THE FILE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO CAN.

JUST IN TIME FOR MY SOLO, MAN!

IS THAT ALL YOU DO?

NO. TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS
I RULE "WORLD OF WARCRAFT."

HEY, CAN YOU--
CAN YOU TURN IT DOWN?

OH. YEAH. UH, SORRY.

OH. DIDN'T SEE YOU...

BROUGHT COMPANY.

LOGAN, THIS IS BETH.
BETH, LOGAN.

- SHE KNOWS ABOUT US.
- OH, COOL.

I HAVE SOME PASSWORD-PROTECTED FILES.

WELL, SINCE YOU BROUGHT LUNCH...

HE'S NOT LUNCH.

right.WE'RE PAYING CASH TODAY.

YOUR CALL.

THESE FILES AREN'T JUST PASSWORD-PROTECTED.
THEY'RE ENCRYPTED,

AND NONE OF MY STANDARD
ALGORITHM PROGRAMS ARE WORKING.

AMATEURS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF KNOW-HOW
ARE USUALLY THE TRICKIEST.

DID YOU TRY MAUREEN'S BIRTHDAY,
HER MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME...

YEAH, AND HER PHONE NUMBER,

DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER,
SOCIAL SECURITY...

FOR ALL WE KNOW, SHE USED
THE NAME OF HER FAVORITE TV SHOW.

TRY HER CAT'S NAME.
TRY TRAVIS.

NOBODY REALLY USES...

IT WORKED. WE'RE IN.

WE SHALL NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN.

"JILL BUTTON,
SPOKESMODEL FOR THE DONUT DIET.

RECENTLY FOUND DEAD
OF A HEART ATTACK."

MAUREEN THOUGHT THE DIET
COULD BE RESPONSIBLE.

- KILLER DOUGHNUTS. WHO KNEW?
- HEY,

THERE'S SOMETHING ON KENT MORROW.

HE'S RUNNING FOR MAYOR.
I HEAR HE'S GONNA WIN.

MAUREEN RECEIVED
AN E-MAIL FROM LUIS PEREZ.

HE CLAIMS THAT THE CAR ACCIDENT
THAT KILLED KENT'S WIFE
THREE YEARS AGO WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

POLITICAL SCANDAL.???

MY MONEY'S ON JOSEF KOSTAN,
RUNNING SOME SORT OF CHARITY SCAM.

- JOSEF KOSTAN?
- GUILLERMO SAID HE SMELLED VAMPIRE ON MAUREEN.

MAYBE IT WAS JOSEF.

YOU KNOW KOSTAN?

- YEAH. YEAH, I DO.
- HE'S THE RICHEST VAMPIRE IN TOWN.

H-HOW COME YOU NEVER INTRODUCED US?

-LOGAN, YOU--YOU NEVER???
-mm

- JOSEF DIDN'T KILL MAUREEN.
- LIKE JOSEF'S NOT CAPABLE OF MURDER?

JOSEF PROBABLY MURDERS
EVERY DAY, BUT MAUREEN?

THAT'S NOT HIS STYLE.

BETH, ONE OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE
KILLED MAUREEN.

AND I AM NOT GONNA
LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

HEY.

OH, LOOK.
IT'S MY TWO FAVORITE HUMANS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT MY EDITOR WAS INVESTIGATING
YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN A BOGUS CHARITY SCAM?

NICE TO SEE YOU, BETH.
ME? I'M DOING GREAT. THANKS.

EXCEPT FOR ALL THE DRYWALL DUST.
IT GETSEVERYWHERE.

BETH'S EDITOR, MAUREEN WILLIAMS,
WAS KILLED A FEW HOURS AGO.

I'M SORRY.

AM I A SUSPECT?

COOL. IT'S LIKE ROLE-PLAYING
WITHOUT THE LEATHER.

YOUR NAME CAME UP IN CONNECTION
WITH THE STORY THAT MAUREEN WAS WORKING ON.

WELL, WAS HER BODY FOUND???

NO.

THAT WAS THE ONLY PERSON
I KILLED THIS WEEK.

- JOSEF, THIS IS SERIOUS.
- NO. THIS IS STUPID.

YES, MAUREEN CALLED ME, AND I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT I TOLD HER.

LOOK, I'M ON THE BOARD
OF DOZENS OF CHARITIES.

I CAN'T KEEP TRACK.
MY P.R. MAN SETS IT ALL UP.

I HAD NO IDEA THIS CHARITY
WAS BOGUS UNTIL SHE TOLD ME.

OKAY.
WE'LL TALK TO YOUR P.R. MAN.

REMEMBER THE TAR PITS?

LOOK, HERE'S MY SCHEDULE--

I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET
MAUREEN AGAIN THIS TUESDAY

AND GIVE HER AN EXCLUSIVE
ON A NEW CHARITY

THAT KOSTAN INDUSTRIES IS
SETTING UP TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF THE SCAM.

I EVEN GOT OPRAH
AS THE HONORARY CHAIRWOMAN.

NOW WHY WOULD I GO THROUGH
ALL THAT TROUBLE IF I COULD JUST KILL HER?

I KNOW IT'S TEMPTING
TO ALWAYS BLAME THE VAMPIRE,

BUT I THINK THIS TIME YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE
TO LOOK FOR YOUR KILLER SOMEPLACE ELSE.

I ASKED LOGAN TO TRACK DOWN
MAUREEN'S MYSTERIOUS TIPSTER

WHILE BETH CHECKS OUT
THE DONUT DIET.

ME? I'M GONNA HAVE
A CHAT WITH KENT MORROW,

SEE WHAT SPIN HE'S PUTTING
ON HIS WIFE'S DEATH.

FINALLY, THIS IS NOT JUST
A RACE FOR THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

THIS IS AN ELECTION ABOUT HOPE,
ABOUT FAMILY.

POLITICIANS--
THERE'S THE TRUTH,

AND THEN THERE'S WHAT THEY WANT
YOU TO THINK IS THE TRUTH.

FIGURING OUT THE DIFFERENCE?
THAT'S THE TRICKY PART.

PUBLIC SERVICE IS MY LIFE.

IT GAVE ME A REASON FOR LIVING AFTER
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF MY WIFE THREE YEARS AGO

LEFT ME TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER BONNIE...

ALONE.

IT TAUGHT ME
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY,

THE PILLAR UPON WHICH
WE WILL BUILD OUR SHINING CITY.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

???

- GOOD SPEECH.
- HEARD IT LIKE A MILLION TIMES BEFORE--

ALWAYS SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME.

WELL, MAYBE HE'S LIP-SYNCHING.

- YEAH, THAT COULD EXPLAIN IT.
- YOU MUST BE BONNIE.

YOU MUST BE LOST.

YOU SEEM TOO COOL TO BE
HANGING OUT WITH THESE LOSERS.

WELL, APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING.

MR. MORROW. MR. MORROW,
CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?

UH, I'M SORRY. THE CANDIDATE
HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME RIGHT NOW, MISTER...

ST. JOHN. MICK ST. JOHN.

WHERE ARE YOUR CREDENTIALS?
ARE YOU PRESS?

NO.???

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT
MAUREEN WILLIAMS FROM "BuzzWire"

WAS LOOKING INTO
YOUR WIFE'S CAR ACCIDENT?

WHO ARE YOU?

- BONNIE, HAS THIS MAN BEEN BOTHERING YOU?
- NO.

- DO YOU KNOW A MAN NAMED LUIS PEREZ?
- NO. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

WELL, HE CLAIMS THAT YOUR WIFE'S DEATH
WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GETTING YOUR INFORMATION,

BUT YOU ARE WAY OUT OF LINE.

MR. MORROW'S CAMPAIGN IS BUILT
ON INTEGRITY AND HONESTY.

I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

OUR DOUGHNUTS HAVE BEEN RIGOROUSLY TESTED.

EVERY INGREDIENT IS PERFECTLY SAFE.

YET YOUR SPOKESMODEL,
JILL BUTTON, IS PERFECTLY DEAD.

SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK.

TRAGIC, BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH MY DIET. NOTHING AT ALL.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE IN TALKS
WITH A MAJOR CONGLOMERATE TO SELL THIS COMPANY.

- $50 MILLION IS A LOT OF MONEY.
- YOU'RE IMPLYING...

THAT THEY MIGHT NOT
BE SO INTERESTED

IF THEY FOUND OUT YOUR DOUGHNUTS
ARE KILLING PEOPLE.

THIS INTERVIEW'S OVER. ANY MORE QUESTIONS,
YOU CAN TALK TO MY LAWYER.

TAKE A BOX OF DOUGHNUTS
ON THE WAY OUT.

THEY TELL THE STORY.

I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

HUH.

THE OFFER
FOR DEE DEE'S COMPANY IS LEGIT.

THEY FILED WITH THE F.T.C.
AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

SO DEE DEE HAD 50 MILLION GOOD REASONS
TO KEEP MAUREEN QUIET.

OH, I CHECKED OUT THE DOUGHNUTS.
THEY'RE NOTHING SPECIAL.

MOSTLY FIBER BOMBS
SPRINKLED WITH SOME VITAMINS.

NO BAD REACTIONS, THOUGH.

OKAY, SO I TALKED TO OUR NEXT MAYOR.

DOUGHNUTS.

IT'S NOT BAD.

- HOW LONG SINCE YOU'VE HAD A DOUGHNUT?
- 1952.

TWO WORDS--KRISPY KREME.

I SPOKE TO KENT.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO HEAR HIS HEARTBEAT
TO TELL HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.

I PULLED UP THE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT.

KENT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING,
AND SHE SMASHED INTO AN ONCOMING CAR.

SHE AND THE DRIVER
OF THE OTHER CAR WERE KILLED.

AUTOPSY COME UP WITH ANY ALCOHOL

- SHE WAS CLEAN.
- ANYTHING ON MAUREEN'S TIPSTER,LUIS PEREZ?

UH, GUY'S A GHOST?

NO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER,
NO ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER LISTED...

THE ONLY THING I CAN TRY TO DO

IS TRACE THE I.P. ADDRESS OF THE COMPUTER
THAT SENT THE E-MAILS TO MAUREEN,

BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE TIME,
SO I'LL CALL YOU.

I GOT GUILLERMO TO PULL
JILL BUTTON'S BODY FOR US.

I THOUGHT HE WAS MAD AT YOU.

I BOUGHT UP ALL THE A-POSITIVE
HE COULDN'T UNLOAD.

HEY, YOU CAN'T DRINK BLOOD ANYMORE.

I SENT IT TO JOSEF--

KIND OF A, UH, "SORRY
YOU WERE A SUSPECT" PRESENT.

JILL BUTTON, WASHED AND AUTOPSIED.

CORONER LISTS C.O.D.
AS A HEART ATTACK.

WHAT ARE THESE?

- LOOKS LIKE SURGICAL INCISIONS.
- NO, THOSE ARE LIPOSUCTION SCARS.

- really?
-WHAT? I HAVE FRIENDS.

COULD THESE HAVE BEEN
A FACTOR IN HER DEATH?

WELL, THE DANGER IN LIPOSUCTION
IS INTERNAL BLEEDING.

BLOOD USUALLY POOLS IN THE BACK. SEE?

- NO LIVIDITY.
- SO THE LIPOSUCTION DIDN'T KILL HER.

IT'S WEIRD THE CORONER DIDN'T MENTION
THE INCISIONS IN THE AUTOPSY REPORT.

EVERY SCAR, BIRTHMARK,
EVEN MOLES ARE USUALLY NOTED.

LOGAN TRACKED LUIS PEREZ
TO A RESIDENCE IN BURBANK.

I'LL HEAD THERE. YOU SEE WHAT YOU CAN
FIND OUT ABOUT THIS CORONER'S REPORT.

LET'S GO. THANKS, MAN.

- NO PROBLEM.
- THANK YOU.

HEY.
FANCY MEETING YOU HERE.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

YEAH. SO WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE MORGUE?

JUST VISITING A FRIEND.

OH, AND HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE
INVESTIGATING MAUREEN'S DEATH

AND CIRCUMVENTING BOTH THE POLICE
AND THE D.A.'s OFFICE TO DO IT.

WE'RE NOT GOING AROUND YOU.

MY OFFICE GOT A CALL FROM KENT MORROW
REGARDING A CERTAIN P.I.

THAT'S BEEN NOSING AROUND.

THEN I FIND OUT THE SAME P.I.

PUT IN A REQUEST FOR
JILL BUTTON'S CORONER'S REPORT.

ANOTHER COINCIDENCE?

MICK AND I ARE JUST FOLLOWING UP
ON A FEW OF MAUREEN'S ACTIVE STORIES.

MS. TURNER, WE BOTH WANT
THE SAME THING.

- FIND MAUREEN'S KILLER.
- I KNOW THAT.

I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
A LOT OF CASES TO WORRY ABOUT.

THE D.A.'s OFFICE IS OVERWORKED
AND UNDERSTAFFED--

OKAY, YOU KEEP DOING THIS,

AND YOU'RE GONNA TAINT
ANY EVIDENCE YOU DO UNCOVER...

AND MAUREEN WAS MY FRIEND.

EVIDENCE I'M STILL GONNA
HAVE TO TAKE TO A JURY.

NOW DO YOU REALLY WANT TO RISK
FINDING MAUREEN'S KILLER,

ONLY TO HAVE THEM WALK
ON A TECHNICALITY?

MR. PEREZ?

I'M ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE
TO CHASE THIS GUY?

CRAP.

HEY!

HEY! ???

HEY!

???

hey

where???

hey

I HAVEN'T HAD TO RUN LIKE THIS
FOR A LONG TIME.

HEY!

THE FIRST FEW MINUTES WERE FUN,
BUT NOW...

LET'S JUST SAY RIGHT NOW
I DO FEEL LIKE I'M 85 YEARS OLD.

AND I REALLY AM GONNA HAVE
TO CUT BACK ON THE HOT DOGS.

???

I THOUGHT YOU WERE I.N.S.

TWO IMMIGRATION OFFICERS
CAME BY THIS MORNING

ASKING MY NEIGHBORS QUESTIONS.

SOMEBODY TIPPED THEM OFF ABOUT ME.

YEAH. KENT MORROW.

HE'S TRYING TO KEEP YOU QUIET. WHY?
I MEAN, WHAT'S YOUR CONNECTION TO KENT MORROW?

I WAS THE VALET THAT NIGHT

AT THE RESTAURANT
WHERE THE MORROWS ATE.

OKAY, AND...
I MEAN, YOU BROUGHT THE CAR AROUND,

- YOU GAVE THE KEYS TO MRS. MORROW...
- NO.

I GAVE THE KEYS TO HIM...

HER HUSBAND.

I-I KNOW THAT HE WAS DRUNK, OKAY?
BUT HE WAS ANGRY. WHAT COULD I DO?

KENT MORROW WAS DRIVING THAT NIGHT?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE POLICE THIS?

I-I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED.
I WAS WORKING ILLEGALLY.

WHY ARE YOU GETTING INVOLVED NOW?

WHY CONTACT "BuzzWire" JUST AS MORROW
IS ABOUT TO BE ELECTED MAYOR?

WHO'S "BuzzWire"?
I DIDN'T CONTACT ANYBODY.

LET ME SEE YOUR COMPUTER.

LUIS PEREZ SAYS HE DIDN'T
SEND THE E-MAILS TO MAUREEN.

SEND ME SOMETHING FROM HIS COMPUTER.

Son of a bitch.

THE CONFIGURATION'S ALL WRONG.

Someone rerouted the I.P. address to make it
look like the e-mai were coming from Perez.

WELL, WHO SENT THE E-MAILS?

NO ONE FROM THIS OFFICE
WOULD BE TALKING TO "BuzzWire."

WELL, THE E-MAILS WERE SENT
FROM A COMPUTER IN THIS OFFICE--

YOUR COMPUTER.

ELLEN?

DOZENS OF STAFFERS USE MY COMPUTER.

WHAT IS GOING ON, KENT?

THIS IS HARASSMENT,ALL RIGHT?
AND I WILL PRESS CHARGES,BELIEVE ME.

MICK, COME HERE.

WHAT'S TALBOT DOING HERE?

IF KENT IS MAUREEN'S KILLER,
THERE'S GONNA BE A POLITICAL FIRESTORM.

WE'RE GONNA NEED HIS HELP.

WILL PEREZ TESTIFY?

HE'S AFRAID OF GETTING DEPORTED.

WELL, LOOK, EITHER WAY,
IT'S STILL HIS WORD AGAINST KENT'S.

THERE'S NOT A JUDGE IN TOWN
THAT'S GONNA GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

- NO, BONNIE!
- DON'T COME NEAR ME!

- GO AWAY!
- NO, BONNIE!

- BONNIE, STOP.
- STAY AWAY FROM ME!

YOU DON'T WANNA JUMP.
YOU DON'T WANNA JUMP.

YOU GONNA GIVE ME, THE, UM,

"THERE'S SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR" SPEECH?

- YOU HAVE NO FRICKIN' IDEA.
- WELL, TRY ME. COME ON.

SO YOU CAN TALK ME OUT OF IT?

NO, BUT PEOPLE ARE GONNA ASK
WHY YOU JUMPED,

AND I WANNA BE ABLE TO TELL THEM
THAT YOU MADE AN INFORMED DECISION, OKAY?

- WHAT, SO NOW YOU'RE GONNA JUMP, TOO?
- I'D RATHER NOT.

I'VE NEVER EVEN HAD
A KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUT.

ARE YOU NUTS?

YEAH.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS?

LIVING EVERY DAY
WITH A SECRET

THAT YOU WANT
TO TELL SOMEONE--

ANYONE--
ABOUT, BUT YOU CAN'T.

LISTEN TO ME, OKAY?

SECRETS--THEY'RE LIKE A DISEASE.

AND IF WE DON'T SHARE THEM,

THEY CAN EAT US UP ON THE INSIDE

UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT,

UNTIL IT FEELS
LIKE WE'RE ALREADY DEAD.

YOU DO HAVE A SECRET,
DON'T YOU?

YEAH, I DO.

AND IT ATE ME UP,
UNTIL I FINALLY TOLD SOMEBODY.

YEAH?
AND DID IT TURN OUT OKAY?

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK IT DID.

- MICK!
- BONNIE!

- STOP
- STAY BACK! STAY BACK!

- HONEY, IT'S OKAY. I'M HERE.
- GET HIM AWAY.

- I DON'T WANT HIM HERE! GET HIM AWAY!
- HEY, IT'S JUST YOU AND ME UP HERE.

IT'S JUST YOU AND ME UP HERE.
YOU TALK TO ME, OKAY?

I WOKE UP IN--
IN THE BACK OF THE CAR...

AND MOMMY WAS DEAD.

BONNIE, DON'T.
WE'RE FAMILY, HONEY!

YOU'RE ALL I GOT LEFT, BABY!
YOU'RE ALL I GOT LEFT!

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

HE WAS DRIVING,
BUT HE SAID TO SAY THAT SHE WAS,

AND HE SAID THAT--
THAT IF I DIDN'T, THAT--

THAT HE WOULD GO TO JAIL,
A-AND I WOULD BE ALL ALONE.

YOU WANTED PEOPLE
TO KNOW THE TRUTH, RIGHT?

I JUST WANTED SOMEONE ELSE
TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED,

TO TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH
ABOUT MY MOTHER,

BECAUSE I WAS TOO CHICKEN TO.

BUT I SCREWED THAT UP, TOO.
IT WAS ALL JUST FOR NOTHING!

BONNIE!
NO!

HEY, IT'S OKAY.
YOU'RE OKAY.

COME ON. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

HOW ABOUT WE FINISH THIS
BACK AT MY OFFICE, HUH?

MY DAUGHTER. MY DAUGHTER!
IF YOU CARED ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER,

- YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HAD HER LIE FOR YOU.
- BONNIE! BONNIE!

IT'S OKAY, BABY.

OH, GOD.

ARE YOU OKAY?
FOR A SECOND, I THOUGHT YOU...

YEAH, I JUST REMEMBERED
I DON'T LIKE HEIGHTS.

IF YOU'D HAVE FALLEN,
YOU'D HAVE DIED.

- YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T.
- IF YOU HAD...

I-I'M NOT USED TO WORRYING
ABOUT YOU LIKE THIS.

ME NEITHER.
IT'S KIND OF EXHILARATING.

NOT EXACTLY THE WORD I'D USE.

SO WHAT NOW?

IF KENT DIDN'T KILL MAUREEN,
THEN THAT--

WELL, I GUESS WE'RE LEFT
WITH THE DONUT QUEEN.

- WHAT DID THE CORONER SAY?
- Well, it took some doing,

but I finally got him to admit
he was paid off

- by Jill Button's plastic surgeon.
- WHAT'S HIS SURGEON'S NAME?

Mm...

OH, COME ON, TALBOT.
QUID PRO QUO.

WE GAVE YOU KENT MORROW
ON A SILVER PLATTER.

Dr. Pierce Anders.He already has
two complaints filed against him

patients hospitalized
after their procedures
for unexpected blood loss.

WELL, MAYBE HE FIGURED THREE STRIKES
AND HE'S OUT.WHAT'S THE ADDRESS?

No, you're not talking to him
without me.

I'll text you the address

and meet you there
in the morning.

HE'S STARTING TO GROW ON ME.

HEY.

YOU WANNA COME OVER TO MY PLACE
FOR DINNER TONIGHT?

I'VE, UH, FIGURED OUT
HOW TO WORK THE OVEN.

YOU'RE GONNA COOK ME DINNER?

YEAH, I'M GONNA TRY.

ARE YOU ASKING ME
OUT ON A DATE?

WELL, ISN'T THAT
WHAT HUMANS DO?

I CONSIDER MYSELF AN ARTIST.

MY CLIENTS ARE MY CANVAS.

THEIR FANTASIES,
MY INSPIRATION.

WHAT WAS
JILL BUTTON'S FANTASY?

MS. BUTTON HAD
VERY REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.

SHE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY
MAINTAINING HER WEIGHT,

SO SHE CAME TO ME
FOR SOME STRATEGIC RESHAPING.

LIPOSUCTION.

I REMOVED 500 C.C.s OF FAT
FROM HER TARGET AREAS.

NO POST-OP COMPLICATIONS?

NONE. MS. BUTTON WAS HAPPY

AND VERY MUCH ALIVE
WHEN SHE LEFT.

AND THERE ARE WITNESSES
THAT CAN VERIFY THIS?

MY NURSES AND OFFICE STAFF WILL BE HAPPY
TO PROVIDE YOU WITH STATEMENTS.

WE'D LIKE TO SEE YOUR CHARTS.

I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT'S AN IMPOSSIBILITY.

DOCTOR-PATIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY.

YEAH, WELL, LOOK,
I CAN GET A WARRANT.

YOU HAVE NO GROUNDS
FOR A WARRANT.

I KNOW A JUDGE
WHO GOT A BAD NOSE JOB.

SHE'S BITTER.

BETH, GET UP!

TYPE A-O-NEGATIVE.

UNUSUAL.

TASTY.

CAREFUL, MAN.

I'M SORRY. MOST OF MY CUSTOMERS
DON'T COMPLAIN.

JUST HURRY UP.
I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE.

I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN HERE.
YOU SHOULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL.

I ALREADY LOST TWO HOURS
WHEN I WAS UNCONSCIOUS.

LOOK, SERIOUSLY, MAN,
you're a mess.

NO WONDER ANDERS
THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD.

AAH! MAN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT GUY WAS A VAMPIRE.

I SHOULD'VE SENSED IT THE MINUTE
HE WALKED IN THE ROOM.

THAT'S THE ADVANTAGE
of being a human.

YEAH,
THAT AND GETTING MY ASS KICKED.

WHEN I WAS A VAMPIRE,
I WOULD'VE WIPED THE FLOOR
WITH THIS GUY.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D SAY THIS, MAN,

BUT RIGHT NOW
BEING HUMAN SUCKS.

LOOK, UH,
I MADE SOME PHONE CALLS.

ANDERS'
PLASTIC SURGERY PRACTICE

IS JUST A FRONT
FOR HIS REAL BUSINESS--

SELLING BLOOD TO VAMPS
LOOKING FOR RARE BLOOD TYPES.

SO HE SIPHONS A FEW PINTS OF BLOOD
FROM EACH OF HIS HUMAN PATIENTS,

AND MOST OF THEM NEVER KNOW?

OH, MAN,
THAT'S WHY HE TOOK BETH.

SHE HAS A RARE BLOOD TYPE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
HE TOOK TALBOT--

MAYBE TO FIND OUT
WHAT HE KNOWS.

WHERE CAN I FIND ANDERS NOW?

NO WAY, MAN.

THIS VAMP IS SERIOUSLY BADASS,
AND HE WON'T BE ALONE.

HEY, THE ADDRESS.

BEN, YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. YEAH.
HOW LONG WAS I OUT?

AN HOUR, MAYBE.
YOU PROBABLY HAVE A CONCUSSION.

I DON'T THINK I'LL BE CALLING
FOR A DOCTOR.

I TRIED.IT'S SOME KIND OF SURGICAL TUBE.
IT WON'T BUDGE.

WHAT KIND OF PSYCHO IS THIS GUY?

MICK WILL FIND US.
HE'S GOOD. HE'S REALLY GOOD.

YEAH, AND MOST LIKELY,
REALLY DEAD.

DON'T SAY THAT.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

OH, BETH, COME ON.
WE GOTTA FACE THE FACTS.

NO ONE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE,
AND NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US.

WE'RE ON OUR OWN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DON'T DO THAT!

WHAT, USE
MY CRAFTY VAMPIRE ABILITIES

TO SNEAK UP ON YOU?

- WHY ARE YOU HERE?
- GUILLERMO CALLED ME.

SAID YOU WERE ABOUT TO DO
SOMETHING EXTREMELY STUPID.

I SAID, "WAIT. THAT CAN'T BE
THE MICK THAT I KNOW."

YOU SHOULD COME.
YOU LOVE A CHALLENGE.

NO, SEE, I'M A LOVER.
I'M NOT A FIGHTER.

NOW BESIDES, I'D JUST GET DEAD
TRYING TO PROTECT YOU,

THE HUMAN LIABILITY.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

THIS IS HOW
YOU'RE GONNA FIGHT THEM?

THIS IS HOW
YOU WANT IT TO END?

GET OFF ME.

GET OFF ME!

I HOPE I MADE MY POINT.

YEAH.

YOU DID.

WHAT?

YOU WERE RIGHT.

I CAN'T SAVE BETH
AS A HUMAN...

BUT I CAN SAVE HER
AS A VAMPIRE.

YOU HAVE TO TURN ME BACK.

WHOA. YOU HOLD ON.
THIS IS NOT--

YOU HAVE TO TURN ME BACK
RIGHT NOW.

MICK, YOU'RE HUMAN AGAIN.

AFTER ALL YOU WENT THROUGH
TO GET THE CURE,

YOU'RE GONNA GIVE IT UP
THIS EASY?

YOU THINK
THIS IS EASY FOR ME?

THIS IS NOT EASY, OKAY?
I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

- WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME TO DO--
- LISTEN TO ME! ALL RIGHT?

HE HAS BETH.

HE HAS MY BETH.

SO PLEASE, PLEASE, BROTHER.

MICK...

FORGIVE ME.

COME ON, MICK.

RISE AND SHINE.

Beth, WHAT'S GOING ON?

- YOU'RE A--
- OH, YEAH.

IT IS SO ON.

BETH, YOU OKAY?

VERY DRAMATIC.
I LIKE IT.

- I'M HERE.
- MICK.

- IT'S OKAY.
- OH, GOD.

Wait, who's there?ST. JOHN?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOUR FACE. WHAT HAPPENED?

LIKE THEY SAY,
LIFE IS SHORT.

YOU KEEP THE BLINDFOLD
ON HIM.

HEY, WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON?

WE'RE SAVING YOUR ASS.

TALBOT TOOK A BUNCH OF COPS
AROUND TO ANDERS'.

PLACE WAS IMMACULATE.

YEAH, WELL, THE CLEANER
IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES.

NO ONE WILL EVER FIND
ANY EVIDENCE
OF WHAT HAPPENED THERE.

HE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

I TOLD HIM I WAS UNCONSCIOUS
MOST OF THE TIME AND I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH.

HE SHOULD JUST BE HAPPY
HE'S ALIVE.

HE DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS SOMEONE
WHO LIKES UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

HOW IS EVERYTHING?

- DELICIOUS.
- GOOD.

I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT THE SEASONING.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
ABOUT WHAT YOU DID FOR ME,

WHAT YOU GAVE UP.
PART OF YOU MUST HATE ME.

I COULD NEVER HATE YOU.

BUT YOU'RE BACK
TO BEING A VAMPIRE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY REGRETS,
OKAY?

NONE?

YEAH, THIS ISN'T EXACTLY HOW
I PICTURED OUR DATE, EITHER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I'M HUMAN.
YOU'RE A VAMPIRE.

WE'RE RIGHT BACK
WHERE WE STARTED.

I JUST--I DON'T WANT YOU
TO GET HURT.

MAYBE YOU'RE AFRAID
OF GETTING HURT.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO LOSE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

BUT IT'S PART OF LIFE.

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
HUMANS AND VAMPIRES--

ARE DIFFICULT, DANGEROUS
AND COMPLICATED.

I KNOW. YOU TOLD ME.

IF YOU HADN'T BEEN A VAMPIRE,
I'D HAVE DIED TODAY.

I'D HAVE DIED 23 YEARS AGO.

* NEVER PAY THE REAPER... *

BEING A VAMPIRE
ISN'T ALL YOU ARE.

IT'S NOT
WHAT'S KEEPING US APART.

IT'S JUST YOU.

* EXCEPT I LOVE YOU *

* AND I'D GIVE MY LIFE
FOR YOURS *

* I KNOW WE ARE *

* WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES *

* I KNOW WE ARE *

* WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES *

* I KNOW WE ARE *

* WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES,
DEAR *

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO FIGURE IT OUT.

OKAY?

JUST DON'T TAKE TOO LONG.

YOU MAY HAVE FOREVER,
BUT I DON'T.

* I LOVE YOU *

* AND I'D GIVE MY LIFE
FOR YOURS *

* I KNOW WE ARE *

* WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES *

* I KNOW WE ARE *

* WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES *

* I KNOW WE ARE *

* WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES *
