Night Teeth (2021)

[bunniefuu]

[intense music playing]

[female voice] We're all around you.

Living right under your noses...

and you have no idea.

Things were a lot simpler in the old days.

We hunted you,

and you hunted us.

In Los Angeles,

no one fought harder
than a place called Boyle Heights.

So, we struck up a truce

to maintain the peace
between our kind and yours.

We lived in secret,

and you convinced yourselves
you had never really believed.

You forgot to be afraid.

You made books and movies about us
and got most of the details wrong,

while we became richer

and more powerful
than you could ever imagine.

To this day, there are some
who still uphold the truce,

who keep our secret.

As long as we stick to the three rules.

Don't let humans know we exist,

don't feed on the unwilling,

and never ever enter Boyle Heights
without permission.

[breathes deeply]

[humming]

- [gasps] Jay!
- Sorry.

- [sighs] You scared me.
- [Jay] I got distracted.

[woman] How sorry?

I'll-make-it-up-to-you sorry.

Oh, you'll-make-it-up-to-me kind of sorry.

How are you gonna do that?

[gentle music playing]

[woman chuckling] What?

Nah, you look nice.

I look nice?

[chuckling] You're so stupid.

[car revving]

What the...

- What is it?
- [Jay] They shouldn't be over here.

[revving]

[tires screeching]

- Oh my God. Jay, who is that?
- [car revving]

[Jay] A dead man.

[woman] Put the g*n back.
We cannot do this.

Holy sh*t, please keep driving. Jay.
Jay, it's green, just go!

- [revving]
- [tires squealing]

[squealing]

[tires screeching]

- [woman] Jay, what's going on?
- [Jay] I gotta warn my guys.

I need you to take the car
and go to your brother's. Okay?

Good morning, Mr. Perez.
What were you dreaming about?

Sorry. I... [inhales sharply]

[woman giggling]

[kisses]

[upbeat music playing]

[skateboard wheels squealing]

[music continues]

[birds chirping]

Hey, uh, B-plus, bucks.

Thank you, sir.
You're a lifesaver, you know that?

You're saving my a*s with this paper, bro.

We're gonna check out
this club downtown, Three Kings?

Table, bottle service.

- Right.
- It's a head. You wanna roll with?

sh*t, a head? Uh...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nah, I already got some stuff
I gotta get into.

- I bet you do.
- Next time, my bad.

[man] All right. Stay easy.

[upbeat music playing]

[Benny] Yo!

Yo, what's good, Benny?

Hey, what's up, slick?
You got that kit for me?

Let's call it an even , bro.

, like bucks?

- That's what I said.
- [sighs]

[Benny] I'mma put The Heights
on the map. I'm telling you, bro.

Step one, finish this track.
Two, set up the label.

Three, world domination. It's simple.

Building an empire,
but you can't even play me one track, bro?

[laughs]

[Benny] Hey.
When it's ready, it's ready, all right?

[upbeat music continues]

- [chattering on TV]
- [sizzling]

[woman in Spanish] Hello, Benny.

Hey, Grandma.

[Grandma] You came at a good time.

[Benny in English] Yeah? Why's that?

[Grandma in Spanish] I just took out
some flautitas and some empanadas.

[Benny in English] Nice!

[Grandma in Spanish] Are you hungry?

[Benny in English] You know it.
[in Spanish] But why do I bother shopping

if you're never
going to cook me a sancoche?

You know I don't cook that.

You know that one of these days
I'm going to buy you a house.

[groans] I don't need
my own home, my love.

What I do need is for you
to finish your studies

so you can take care of yourself.

[in English] Because someday
I'm gonna die, and so will you.

Ay, Ma, why you gotta talk like that?
So negative. I don't like it.

[in Spanish] Well, that's life, son.

We all come tumbling down.

[hip-hop music playing on headphones]

[birds chirping]

[music continues over speakers]

[Jay, muffled] Bro, you told me
you could handle it.

No, I told you. This is...

Come on, Jessie,
you're really gonna do me like that?

I need someone to cover the car tonight.

It's about Maria.

Yeah, well, I thought I could rely on you!

Yeah, fine, whatever.

Why are you creeping?

If I'd know you was coming through,
I would've rolled out the red carpet.

I have to pick up some things,
check in on Grandma.

- Check in on your punk a*s.
- Ha.

Oh, wait a minute. What's this?
Bro, that some gray hairs on your head?

Hey, I'm serious.
You're getting old, papi.

- Just wait. It's gonna happen to you too.
- [laughs]

I don't know if you're working tonight,
but maybe we could go to Mario's,

grab a pizza, watch the game.

[Jay] I got something else tonight.

All right,
then who's covering the car, then?

[Jay] I had to cancel.
Everyone's booked up.

All right, but you see,
I was thinking, like, what if,

you see, what if I take the car? Right?

- 'Cause I could use the money.
- No way.

- Why not?
- [Jay] One, you're a bad driver.

Bad... That's bullshit.

When was the last time
you were west of K-Town?

Hey, Jay, my man, look,
I am way more responsible

than all them dudes
you got out there at the depot.

Yeah, except them dudes at the depot,
they got chauffeur's license,

they're insured by the company,
and they actually own a suit.

I... You see, the thing is, though,
Jay, I got a suit. I got a suit, Jay.

[scoffs]

What, you and Maria been fighting?
That's what it is?

You having some relationship issues?

If you want to talk to me,
you can talk to me.

I give great advice.
That's what people be saying.

- [Jay] Yeah, right.
- [chuckles]

Man, whatever.

[objects clattering]

Where'd you get that?

Don't worry about it.

[lock clicks]

- What's this thing you gotta do tonight?
- I said don't worry about it.

All right. Fine, man.
I didn't even... [mumbles]

- [sighs]
- [Benny] So secretive, man.

- [Jay] Hey, Benny.
- [keys jingle]

Scratch it, I'll k*ll you.

Yo. You serious?

Man! I'm gonna need me one of these.

You can't afford it.

Well, I'mma flip my beats,
and I'mma get me a better one.

- What do you think about that?
- Listen to me.

Take them where they need to go,
come straight back.

- [in Spanish] Understand?
- Yeah, I understand.

- [in English] Check it out.
- [engine starts]

Oh sh*t.

- That's pretty cool.
- [chuckles]

Insurance and registration
are in the glove compartment.

Chauffeur's license on the visor.

Everything's under my name,
so if anyone asks, you're me.

- I'm going to Beverly Hills?
- [Jay] Hey, pay attention.

If anyone asks, you're me, got it?

- Yeah.
- Dispatch says it's an all-nighter.

Probably a twentysomething
director wannabe high out of his mind.

Act professional, and he'll give you
a fat tip at the end of the night.

[hip-hop music playing]

Hey. Don't blow the sub, Dr. Dre.

Look, if the subs want to bark,
you gotta let 'em bark.

No, the subs don't wanna bark. Okay?
I'm serious. I'll yank you out of here.

- I'll take the no-show penalty.
- Okay. No barking, you got it.

Thanks for doing this.

Hey, just, um, be careful, all right?

I'm always careful.

[chuckles softly]

Um, good... good evening, Miss Moreau.

You're the driver?

Uh, yeah. Yes. Yes, I am.

Miss Moreau is running a little bit late.
I'm her friend Blaire.

Okay, cool. I'm... I'm... I'm Jay.

Hi, Jay.

- [chuckles]
- Something wrong?

No.

Mm-mm.

What?

Your zipper is down.

Oh sh*t. [chuckles]

- [zipping]
- Wow.

[chuckles] Sorry, I... I... I don't...
I don't mean to be unprofessional.

I just... I should...
I had no idea that it was down.

- [Blaire] Okay. [chuckles]
- Yeah.

I'm just gonna stop talking 'cause I feel
like I'm making it worse now. [chuckles]

Well, how about you open the door for me,
and then maybe we can call it even?

Thanks.

[unlocks door]

[chuckles nervously]

Thanks. [chuckles]

You know, if you need me
to adjust anything, like the...

- like the AC, I... I can do that.
- Hmm?

Or... or more warm, if you're like...
if it feels chilly for you 'cause I know...

- Okay.
- You know, women's bodies...

Women's bodies?

I'm good. Thank you.

Like, I know
people get cold, so whatever...

Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. I got you.

She's gonna be pissed
if you don't open the door for her.

Oh. [splutters]
You're right. My bad. Thanks.

[gentle music playing]

Hello, Miss Moreau.
I... I'm Jay. I'll be your driver tonight.

You're adorable.

Do you need help with your bags?

You don't look like a driver.

- [sighs]
- [door closes]

- Okay?
- [Moreau] Mm-hmm.

[door closes]

[chimes]

- [Benny] Uh...
- [chimes]

Are you sure you know
what you're doing there, Jay?

Um, no, I was just trying
to put the address in.

Except I haven't given you
the address yet, have I?

[chuckles]

Right. Yeah. I know.

[chuckles]

[Moreau] We're hitting every one
of these parties tonight,

and we need to get
to the last stop by morning.

That's nonnegotiable.

Are we clear?

Yeah.

Oh, and Jay, can you turn the air on?

Yeah. Make it icy.

[mellow electronic music playing]

[sirens wailing in distance]

[sirens approaching]

Hey, driver. You wanna put on something
that doesn't suck?

[Benny] Yes, ma'am.

["Boom Boom Boom" by Cokah playing]

Actually, Jay...

let's play a game.

What would you do if you knew
tonight was your last night on Earth?

[Benny] Wow, uh... I never really thought
about it, to be honest.

- Okay. Well, think about it.
- [Moreau chuckles]

I mean, you must have some fantasies.

I don't... I don't really like
to think that way, you know.

Like, to fantasize?

Yeah, you know, it's like,
I'm doing things today.

I'm building things for the future.
You know what I mean?

- I'm not sure you understand how to play.
- [Benny] I do. What I'm trying to say is...

Last night on Earth, Jay.
Drugs, women, men,

old enemies you're just waiting to pop.

[chuckles] Nah, sorry,
I'm a pretty chill guy.

You know,
I go to school, live with my abuela...

[Blaire] You live with your abuela?

- Yeah. [chuckles]
- [Blaire] That's cute.

New game. f*ck, marry, k*ll.
Me, Blaire, your abuela.

S... sorry, what?

- I know you know this game.
- No, I do. I... I know this game.

It's just, you know,
I'm trying to be professional.

- Look, Blaire. Me, the Pope, the driver.
- [scoffs] You're not even trying.

- [Moreau] Personally, I would bang me.
- Fine. Okay, you could get it.

k*ll the Pope, which I guess
puts me marrying Jay, the driver.

- He seems like husband material.
- [Moreau] You hear that, driver?

Come on, fess up.
Me, Blaire, your grandma.

I'd definitely k*ll you.

Finally, he bites back.

Maybe he's not a total dud.

I don't know. Maybe not.

Hey, driver. Keep your eyes on the road.

Victor knows we're off-limits.
He's starting a w*r with Boyle Heights.

He took Maria... to get to me.

- There's no turning back.
- [sighs]

[Jay] We have until tomorrow morning.

After that,

either Victor's dead, or we are.

[concierge] How may I help you, sir?

Hi. Uh...

- Sir, you are sweating.
- [Benny] Oh.

- Is everything all right?
- Yeah, yeah.

- I, um... I was just...
- Mm-hmm.

- I... I was outside and...
- What's that on your shirt?

- Huh?
- Your shirt.

I...

I... I got, um...

This is a members-only establishment,
so perhaps I should call somebody.

- No, no, no, I'm fine. It's just...
- It's okay. It'll just be one second.

No, no, no, no, hey, hey.
It's... it's okay. I just... I, um...

[inhales deeply] Please accept
my most sincere apology, sir.

[chuckles]

May I?

Yeah.

Mmm. Will you be meeting anyone upstairs?

[Benny] Mm-hmm, yeah. I, um...

I'm... I'm meeting the... the two girls,

uh, Blaire and... and... and... and Zoé.

Of course, sir.
They're with Daniel and Max as we speak.

The owners, sir.

- Great.
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.
- Allow me to escort you to the elevator.

- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Please, I don't...
I don't... I don't have all day.

Should you need anything at all,

there's a phone located in your room

Myself or a member of my staff
will be happy to assist you.

[elevator dings]

[eerie music plays]

And, please, drink responsibly.

[ominous music playing]

[slurping]

Hey.

H... hey.

- This isn't what it looks like.
- Okay. I'm just...

- [grunts]
- [roars]

[panting, shuddering]

[Zoé] Oh my God.

He's shaking.

[laughing] I love it when they shake.

It's so cute.

- [grunting]
- Max over there tasted like motor oil.

[chuckles]

I bet Jay gives good blood.

- Don't you, Jay?
- [gasping]

[splutters] I'm not Jay.

- What?
- [splutters] I'm not Jay. My name's Benny.

I'm just... I'm his brother.
I'm just covering for him. [splutters]

[grunts]

I knew it.

What did I tell you?

I knew this little sh*t
couldn't be Jay Perez.

[sighs]

All right. [inhales deeply]

Let's drink the driver.

What? No, no, no, no.

- I don't know. He could come in handy.
- Handy for what?

I don't need someone
to hold the door for me tonight.

- [Benny] No.
- [Blaire] Wait, wait.

I bet he could take us to Jay.

Benny, do you think you could do that?

You think you could show us
where your brother is?

[chuckling] That was great.

[laughs]

Oh, is he okay?

Hey, Max, buddy!

- Did they go a little too hard on you?
- You had one thing to do.

- Just one.
- I know. I'm sorry.

I got a little distracted
because someone walked in on us.

[Daniel] Max!

Hey, what's wrong with him?

Max.

- What... what did you do?
- Max?

Hey, Max. You okay?

[in deep voice] Yeah, man, I'm fine.
I'm living my best life.

Are you crazy? Is he...

- Is he...
- He's dead. Yes, Daniel.

Yes, he's dead.

I k*lled him.

- No, you can't do this.
- [Zoé] No?

We're protected. This place is protected!

You're protected?
How protected do you feel right now?

Hmm? [laughs]

Blaire, finish your drink.
We're running behind schedule.

- Hey. You stupid b*tches.
- [Zoé] Mmm.

They're gonna come after you for this.
The bosses will burn you alive.

- Oh.
- [Daniel] Yeah.

- You can't k*ll in here. It's off-limits.
- [laughs]

Oh, are those the rules?

You can't. You're gonna ruin this place.

Well, that's the point.
No more happy endings.

- [clangs]
- No, wait, hey!

Wait, no, no, no. Don't, please, wait.

You can't k*ll me.
You can't. What about the truce?

- The truce is dead, handsome.
- Wait. Wait. [groans]

[Blaire slurping]

[panting]

Hey, uh, officer, listen. Um, I...

I need... I need your help. I... I got this...

It's an emergency.
There's these two women, right?

- And they're after me and...
- Two women?

- Mm-hmm.
- After you?

Yeah, I've been... I've been driving them
around all night, but I think that's...

Is there anything
you want to tell me about, son?

- No, listen, I'm trying...
- How much have you had to drink tonight?

- I haven't drank anything.
- Any drugs?

- No drugs.
- Weapons on you?

Listen, there's
this secret floor in there, okay?

There's this crazy sh*t
that's going on in there.

I need you to call backup.
I need you to call everyone, call...

Exactly what'd you see up there?

[panting]

They k*lled these two guys, all right?
They were drinking their blood, man.

Okay, that's enough.
Put your hands behind your back.

Put your hands behind your back!

Hey!

Come on. Take... take me to jail right now.

Get me... get me out of here. [grunts]

Mm-hmm. Let's go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no.

- What happens upstairs stays upstairs.
- No. Okay.

- You should know better.
- Yeah, I'm not gonna say...

- Get in the trunk. In the trunk!
- I won't say nothing!

- I'm not gonna say anything!
- Excuse me, Officer Anderson.

You girls.

Yes, us girls.

This kid is saying
you k*lled two men upstairs.

- That can't be right, right?
- [Blaire] Of course not.

Benny here has no idea what he saw.

Do you, Benny?

We just gave those boys
the best suck they're ever gonna get.

Let him go. He's ours.

[chuckles]

Yeah. Victor know about this?

What do you think, dipshit?

We're just making our collections.
Business as usual.

- Well, I didn't get a call.
- Oh, you didn't get a call?

Maybe you're not important enough
to get a call.

Yeah, maybe I should just call Victor now.

[Zoé] Why don't you do that?

I'm sure Victor would love to hear
from his favorite little piggy.

[Blaire] Hand him over.

[exhales]

Okay, all right. Fine.

[keys jingle]

[handcuffs click]

[Zoé] Go turn the car around.

Huh? Hey!

No more funny games.

[grunts]

Back in the car, driver.

[Benny] Hmm.

[intense music playing]

[engine revving]

[music continues]

[somber melody playing]

Don't get up. I know where the bar is.

- What the hell are you doing here?
- I'm having a drink with my bosses, Eva.

Better make it a good one.

- It's gonna be your last.
- [Victor] I'll keep that in mind.

We told you what would happen
if you stepped foot in Boyle Heights,

and yet, here you are,

being reckless as ever.

Drinking blood c*ck

on white upholstery,
and I'm the reckless one?

[Eva] You need to remember your place,
Victor. You're middle management.

Give me one reason
why I shouldn't call Martin right now.

- Because I've had a change of heart.
- What heart?

I deserve that.

This view never gets old.

Yeah. But now we're gonna have to ruin it
with your dead body.

I should have let her do
what she wanted with you.

I wanted to barbecue you
the moment you fed outside the lines.

But Grace said that would be impulsive.

I think the word I used was tacky.

Well, I'm glad you didn't.

I know you've never trusted me,
never given me any real power.

But if you hadn't tried
to run me out of my own city,

I wouldn't be seeing so clearly now.

- Are you on something?
- You violated the truce.

It's the one thing that's kept
our kind safe all these years,

and you just pissed on it.

For years we've been told
who to feed on and where

and treating humans
like they're our equals.

It started to feel like a prison.

So I got frustrated
and did something impulsive.

Should we say

tacky?

[Eva] Tacky?

You fed where you weren't supposed to
and started a w*r with Jay Perez.

If he comes for us,
Boyle Heights will follow.

Do you like your fancy clothes
and your concrete mansion?

Because if we get exposed,
that all goes away. For all of us.

I know.

I put you two in a terrible position.

Do you think that I don't get frustrated?

Do you think that when my pool boy
leaves a leaf in the pool,

that I don't wanna string him upside down
and suck him dry?

But if I pitch a fit every time
somebody pisses me off,

what does that make me?

A man.

Stupid as sh*t.

Like I said.

I'm sorry.

No, a ban is a ban.

You're gonna have to do a lot better
than that if you want me to reverse it.

You know, forever is a very long time.

Give it , years.

Who knows? Maybe this will blow over,
and you'll be able to come back.

[sighs] Oh, I think you've misunderstood.

I'm not going anywhere.

In fact, my girls
are down there right now,

ripping your entire network apart
one neck at a time.

So, everything you see belongs to me.

After I k*ll both of you, of course.

- Martin!
- [feedback squeals]

I, uh, think you might
have to speak up a little.

[laughs]

[Benny mumbling]
This is not real. This is...

Come on. She's here, then she's there.

[muttering]

- You need to calm down.
- Calm? Be calm?

- You want me to calm down?
- Yeah.

- I'm calm.
- Oh, you're calm?

- Yeah. This is me calm.
- This is you calm?

- You seem kind of worked up.
- What do you want me to do, huh?

I'm here... I'm here in this car with...
with you and whatever the hell you are.

- [scoffs]
- Oh. [scoffs]

- This is... this is stupid.
- Oh, wow.

- I... I honestly...
- So dumb.

I don't expect people to understand.

- It's a lot. It's a lot.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, especially for you.

What is that supposed to mean, huh?

It means you're a kid.

Like, you...

You... you think majoring in economics
is gonna solve all your problems?

Do you think
that this is how the world works?

Okay. All right.

Well...

[sighs] Don't worry.

It'll all be over soon.

All over? All over? How?

Is... is my brother... is he like a, um...

No, it's not like that.

Then what's it like, then? What's it like?

Let's just say your people
and my people don't really get along.

Who do you think runs the city?

Cops?

Politicians?

We do.

We?

Right.

And... and our kind, like your kind,
answer to leaders.

All right.

There are five bosses that control
most of the major territories of LA.

- [chuckles] It sounds like the mob.
- Please. We're not amateurs.

Victor's, what, like, your boss?

Your boyfriend?

Oh, twist. Benny's the jealous type.

No, no, no. I just...
I don't... I don't know what's going on.

So, Zoé and Victor are together.

And then, Zoé's my girl.

So, she and I manage money

at the different businesses
and blood clubs.

- We manage the... [chuckles]
- Blood clubs?

Yeah, but Victor's sick
of not having any real power,

so tonight, we're making our move.

The problem is you can't make a move
against one of the bosses

without the rest of them
coming for your head unless you...

Unless you take them all out
at the same time. Same night.

Exactly.

And... and my brother?

Jay's crew runs Boyle Heights.

They know what we are and how to k*ll us.

Victor thought he could use him.

Just turn Jay's crew loose on the bosses.

Jay kindly instructed him to go to hell,

which Victor didn't like very much,
so the plan was for us

to bring Jay to Victor
after all of this was done.

That was the plan

until you showed up.

So, Benny, you know
where your brother is tonight?

[Zoé]So, how did it go?

[Victor on phone]
Well, my shirt is ruined.

I think we might actually pull this off.

Yeah.

[Victor] Three bosses down.

[Zoé on phone] And two to go.

Ah, you should've seen
the looks on their faces.

[Zoé] I wish
I could've been there with you.

[Victor laughs]

So, how's Jay?

Yeah. [sighs]

About that.
I... I need to tell you something.

[Victor on phone] What is it?

We, um, got his little brother instead.

[groans]

[Zoé] I'm sorry. We didn't know.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay. We can use the brother.

Really?

[Victor] Really. It makes it more fun.
Think of him like insurance.

[Zoé] Okay, babe.

- Do you think he gives good blood?
- [Zoé chuckles] Yeah.

I think he gives real good blood.

I'll take care of Jay.
I don't want you to get distracted.

Clear downtown and Venice.
Then the city is ours.

We can't let them regroup after tonight.

[dramatic music playing]

You sure about this? I don't like him.

I don't even like breathing
the same air as this vato.

This is the only chance we got.

First, you gotta tell me

He's coming for all of us.

[inhales] All the bosses.
All the territories.

He's clearing the board.

Victor did this?

[Gio] His girls did this.

Can I call you Benny Boy?

No.

You know, it's not your fault
that she likes you.

She likes everyone,
so don't feel special or anything.

[chuckles] Yeah, I know,
it's not... it's not like that.

I... I mean, I'm not...
I'm not saying she isn't attractive.

I'm just not really looking
for a relationship right now.

Is he looking at me?

Who?

[Zoé] The clerk.

I... I don't think so.

Yeah, you know.

And I... I was thinking,
maybe why don't I just go?

You guys can just take the car,

and... and... and... and I'll find my way home.
I'll find a bus.

- It sounds like you're trying to ditch us.
- No, I'm not...

Hey, you know what? I actually think
that's a really smart idea.

Yeah?

[Zoé] Yeah.

Yeah. You know,
'cause, you know, all... all this sh*t,

I'm not gonna say nothing about all this.

I just think this is a time where I feel
like we should go our separate ways,

he's not gonna say anything,

to that guy at the hotel?

I tore his neck open like a bag of candy.

If you do anything stupid inside,

I'll start stacking bodies.

Benny, is we would love
if you came with us.

I haven't really had the time to upgrade...

Yes. Did you build all of this?

Yeah, but you know,
can we just maybe turn this down...

Mm-mm. No.

Why not?

'Cause I like it.

I think it's really good.

B's Session Number Three, that's you?

Oh yeah. You know,
this is actually... it's a... it's a classic.

Oh, this is a classic?

Oh yeah, yeah. Everyone says so.

- [Blaire] Oh, everyone says so?
- Mm-hmm.

People, like who?

You know, people like... my grandma?

- Yeah. [laughs]
- [Benny laughs]

So, when are you gonna play this
for other people?

Well, I'm planning on it. I... I want
to do something... something with this.

It's more than fun.
I wanna turn it into something real.

And when I do, you know,

then you could tell people
that you're my first fan.

- So, in a way, you're welcome.
- Oh, I can?

Yeah, you know, if you want.

Well, I mean, for what it's worth,

I believe you. It's really good.

You're really talented.

What about me? [chuckles]

You know, is there anything that you like?
Anything you're passionate about?

I mean, like, in a past life.

[inhales deeply]

Zoé and I are always talking
about, like, the sh*t we're gonna do.

- You know?
- When did you two meet?

Um... [laughs]

She had this place
in Laurel Canyon in the ' s,

and she would throw these parties.

So, they would go
for like three or four days.

Everyone was there. And she loved Bowie,

so she had this, like...
the Bowie haircut, you know.

She was cool, man.
The queen b*tch, that was her.

- [chuckles]
- Yeah, that checks out.

And I was, like, just like a stray
when I first moved here,

and I didn't feel like I fit anywhere.

And it was like she saw me.

She told me everything could be beautiful.

[chuckles softly]

She said a bunch of stuff.

And then she turned me,

and she gave me this life.

[inhales deeply]

Honestly, you should take this
to a producer.

- [Benny] Yeah.
- [Blaire] You could make real money.

[Benny] I know, I know, it's just
I don't think it's where it has to be yet.

Where does it have to be?
What's it missing?

It's missing a little something
before it becomes like a...

- Like, what? A classic?
- Yeah.

- Mmm.
- Yeah, a classic.

[Zoé clears throat] We need to leave.

Yeah. Cool.

Hi.

We're done with Benny, right?
He can stay here.

I don't think so.

- Well, this has nothing to do with him.
- He's coming. That's how it's gotta be.

Why are you being like this?

Do you want to be the one to tell Victor?

Hey.

I'm coming with you.

Good.

[Benny] Let's go.

[Jay] Anything happens to me,

you take care of Benny.

You protect him.

[man] Consider it done.

[intense music playing]

[Jay] Where's Benny?

- [cutlery clinks]
- Jay. So glad you could make it.

You put a hand on him or Maria,
I swear to God...

Is that her name? We'll get to her.

But first, sit.

- Where are they?
- Sit.

It's funny to think, though.

Almost a hundred years ago,

my kind sat across from your kind,

much like you and I right now.

And then they came up with that truce.

[Jay] Well, you broke that truce.

You took people from my neighborhood.

Innocent people.

Did you think we were gonna let
you get away with that?

We? Who's this "we" you're talking about?

Everyone's gone. I had them all k*lled.

You should have taken my offer.
Now it's all going to be mine.

You see, you're the last piece.

Once you're gone,
this city's just one fat neck

waiting to get sucked.

You want me?

Fine. Fair game.

Maria and Benny
have nothing to do with this.

Let them go.

That's not how this is going to go.
Nobody walks.

You know that.

[grunts]

[grunts, pants]

- [grunts]
- How do I look? Do I look okay?

[Jay panting]

- Do you want some?
- [grunts]

I saved her for you.

Your sweet Maria.

What?

I saved her for you, Jay.

- [laughs]
- No. No.

Don't go soft on me now.

We haven't even gotten started yet.

[Jay panting]

[Zoé] Last k*ll.

Let's do this.

[dramatic music playing]

Maybe lean close. This guy's a freak.

Look what the night dragged in.

Couple of strays.

Good morning, Rocko.

No such thing as a good morning.

[Zoé] Mmm, maybe not for you.

I don't know you, do I?

No, but I'm... I'm with them.

[chuckles] That doesn't really change
your problem, amigo.

- I don't know you.
- Don't worry about him. He's cool.

Yeah, chill, he's with us.

You cool?

Cool, dude.

Rough night?

You look a little, uh, banged up, bro.

Yeah, I'm... I'm a little banged up, bro.

[tense music playing]

[laughs]

Oh, I'm just messing with you, man!
I'm goofing!

Mi casa es su casa!

Enter at your leisure.

- Madam.
- [Blaire] Mmm.

[door stopper clatters]

["Senden Baska" by Kit Sebastian
Elliot Martin and Emine Merve Erdem plays]

[sniffing]

Oh, you smell nice.

You give good blood, don't you?

I can tell.

I have a nose for these things.

I see things, man.

Visions.

Some people say
I'm like a... like a psychic or something.

- Yeah, I... I bet they do say that.
- They do.

Rocko.

Yes?

Not this one.

[laughs]

Oh, whatever, man.
I'm not into virgins. You know that.

[inhales deeply]

- I'm... I'm not even a...
- Hey. Don't lie, man.

Third eye sees all.

This is weird.

You guys didn't call.
You showed up unannounced.

Is this like a booty call or something?

I'm not that kind of girl.

[Zoé] We just wanted
to surprise you, Rocko.

What, you don't like surprises anymore?

You know I love surprises.

Surprises are tight.

[chuckles]

Do you want to leave us for a minute?

- [Rocko] Yeah.
- [Zoé chuckles]

Yeah, why don't you guys, uh,

leave us to it for the minute
and go out to the pool?

Let the grown-ups, uh, conversate.

[lighter clicks]

We'll be out there soon.

- Bye, virgin.
- [chuckles]

[dogs barking in distance]

[Blaire] Drink?

[glasses clink]

What?

I don't know how you could be
so chill about all this.

You know? It's like,

you're out here every night
doing this k*ll Bill-type sh*t. [laughs]

- It's crazy.
- [laughs]

- It's kind of... it's kind of crazy.
- It's not every night.

- It's not?
- No.

[laughs]

[Blaire] If I'm still alive tomorrow,
I am sleeping all day.

[both laugh]

- [Blaire] Mmm.
- Sounds nice.

[Blaire] Mmm.

It is.

What's it like?

Hmm?

You know.

Honestly...

sometimes it feels awesome.

You can do whatever you want.

You don't have to hold back.

You're completely free.

Sometimes.

I just k*lled this dude an hour ago.

Mm-hmm.

Fresh type O.

Clean blood.

[Zoé chuckles]

Can't beat it.

[laughs]

Cheers.

what's with the late-night hang?

You girls never cross the .

We were in the neighborhood.
Figured we'd stop by.

Knew you'd be up late.

- [clinks]
- [suspenseful music playing]

So, you got any family?

I got Zoé.

She's got me.

No, but like...

like real family.

You know, my, uh...

my grandma scooped me up
after my mom passed,

and it was me, and it was her,

and it was Jay.

And Jay, he... he...

he took care of me.

He... he didn't have to.

You know, he's... he's just my half brother,

but he's... he's like
the only father I've ever had.

I'm sorry.

You're not like her, you know? Like Zoé.

I mean, I... I see you, you're...

you're alive.

Can I ask you something?

Are you gonna k*ll me?

No.

I don't want you like that.

[passionate music playing]

[Rocko] So how come
you never come to visit anymore?

- [liquid pouring]
- We had a good thing going back then.

[chuckles]

Reagan was president.

sh*t, it was that long ago?

- Mm-hmm.
- [Rocko] Wow.

Time flies.

What?

What?

Is something wrong?

No. No. Nothing wrong.

Oh, it just hit me. [chuckles]
Maybe just this one thing.

The part where you and Victor

decide to k*ll and steal
from your own blood.

- [roars]
- [laughs] You wicked b*tch.

Oh, you bloodsucker.

[both laugh]

What?

- I have to tell you something.
- What happened?

Your brother. Victor has him.

The night's over.

We'll go home, and you'll be okay.

Benny, she needs blood.

Oh God.

We have to get to the last stop.

Okay. Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[birds chirping]

[tires squealing]

- [Benny] Okay, let's get her inside.
- No. Hey, you take the car and run.

- Okay?
- What are you talking about?

This is Victor's house.

Okay, and he has Jay,
so I'm not going anywhere.

I'm sorry. Okay?
I'm sorry, I am. But it's too late.

No, it's not too late. If there's a chance
that he's in there, then I'm going in!

You're dead the second you go in there.
Don't you understand?

Not if you help me.

It's over.

Promise me.

- Okay. Come on. Come on, come on, come on.

All right. Ready? Ready?

I'mma get you out of here.

[Victor] Look who's decided to join us.

[Zoé] Benny.

Did you miss us? You missed us.

I'm sensing some tension here.

Yeah, Benny's had a busy night.

I've heard so much about you.
Why don't you join us? Take a seat.

- I'd rather stand.
- Oh.

So, tell us, Benny.
What are you doing here?

[Benny] I'd like to make a deal.

Let Jay go. Take me instead.

It's an interesting proposal.

[clicks tongue] Benny.

Hey, Blaire.

What's wrong?

I didn't say anything.

Benny, have you ever tried fresh blood?

[smacks lips] There's nothing like it.

I remember when I first came here.

The blood tastes different.

I had to get used to it.

I had to develop my palate.

Now I can't get enough.

- [Benny groans]
- [Victor laughs]

[groans]

After considering your proposal,
unfortunately,

I'm going to have to decline.

- [laughs]
- But here's my counteroffer.

Because I run things now,

you will be our appetizer.

["One Way or Another" by Blondie playing]

Jay will be our main course.
And I think I'll save abuela for dessert.

- [yells]
- [grunts]

Hey! Don't you f*cking touch him!
What are you doing? He saved us tonight.

Well, then I guess
we'll make it quick, then.

Hold him down. It's time to drink.

- [Blaire] Don't.
- Oh. This is interesting.

She's just confused.

- You're not confused, are you?
- Not at all, actually.

[Zoé] Hey.

Everything's okay. What's going on?

- We won! We won!
- We won?

Blaire, stop. You don't gotta do this.

- I'll tell you when you can talk!
- I don't work for you anymore.

So I'm not gonna listen
to any more of your crazy bullshit.

You're gonna let him
talk to us like that, Blaire?

I can't do this.

No, no, no, no!
Everything is finally good.

- We're finally good.
- I'm telling you, I'm done.

Hey! I need you.

I can't do this without you.
I don't want to do this without you.

- I want out. Oh!
- No, Blaire, no!

You can't leave me.

- Yeah, you did, man. Yeah, you did.
