[bunniefuu]

(cheerful orchestral music)

(dramatic foreboding music)

(upbeat party music)

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

(gentle peaceful music)

(shuffling footsteps)

(gentle peaceful music)

Woo. (Labored breathing)

You really need to get in shape.

Come on.

Nah, you just go ahead, I'll

catch up. (Labored breathing)

Now see, all that trash

talking, you can't even keep up.

Go ahead. (Laughs)

Oh my God. (Exhales)

(shuffling footsteps)

(distorted eerie music)

(crow caws) (gentle eerie music)

(shuffling footsteps)

(gentle suspenseful music)

(Tammy gasps) Oh my God, are you okay?

(Tammy hyperventilating)

What is wrong with you?

(gasps) Oh my God!

[Mani Reed] For the past six months,

bodies have been showing up in my city.

Officer Ward.

Detective Reed, medical

examiner is waiting to see you.

(gentle suspenseful music)

Another one?

That's what it look like,

fourth degree burns

throughout the entire body.

[Reed Voiceover] Same

M.O., burned and drained.

How long before you

get an identification?

Well fortunately for you,

this wallet was found about 10 feet away.

(plastic rustling)

(birds chirping)

Wallet belongs to Victoria Frank.

Mm.

(sighs) Let me go talk to them.

(plastic rustling) (birds chirping)

My name's Detective Reed.

Would you mind if I ask

you both some questions?

We already gave our statements.

I'd really just like to get my friend home.

I know.

I'm the lead detective on this case

and it would help me out a lot

if you both answer some questions.

It'll only take a second.

I know you've had a rough morning.

Wait a minute, you're that detective,

the one who caught

that serial k*ller that year.

Yeah, that's me.

Um, I'm gonna talk to

the detective for a second.

You'll be safe, okay?

I promise. (Distant dog barks)

(shuffling footsteps) (birds chirping)

[Officer] Can I get you a water, ma'am?

Do you mind?

No, it's fine.

Detective Mani Reed,

obtaining witness statements

about the victim from-

Kinsley Baker.

Okay, what would you like to know?

How well do you know the victim?

Um, I don't know

her a lot at all, actually.

I know that she likes to

frequent late night spots.

Mm, well what spots has she visited?

I'm sorry, I don't, we

really weren't that close.

All right.

I really need to get my friend home.

Well, if you find out

any more information,

please, feel free to give me a call, okay?

Okay.

(gentle somber music)

(sighs) (knocks on door) Captain Gallows.

Yeah, what do you have for me, Reed?

Damn, when is the last

time you got some sleep?

I'm fine.

I found a link to those burn victims

over the last couple of months.

- Really?

- Mmhmm.

What's that?

Mist Lounge.

That's the after hours spot, isn't it?

Yep.

According to my records,

that's the last place

most of the victims visited

before they ended up dead.

You know, I had Detective Goodlight

looking at that spot last month, but uh,

his reports came back clean.

Mm, well according to

my most recent victim's bank statements,

that's the last place they visited

before they ended up dead on that trail.

That's enough to take another

look at Mist Lounge, right?

Yeah, I agree.

And maybe asking the

right questions this time

will get us the answers we need, huh?

Yeah.

And if anything suspicious pops up,

I'll open up a full investigation.

Okay, thanks Captain.

Don't thank me, Reed, just do your job.

And uh, get some rest, you look like hell.

(Reed sighs)

(gentle dramatic music)

(people chattering) (gentle dramatic music)

(drunk patron clatters on car)

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, ah.

Oh, Friday night, we lit, ah!

Woo. (Sighs)

How'd I fall asleep?

Hm. (Distant dog barking)

[Reed Recorded Voice] Detective Mani Reed

obtaining witness statements

about the victim from-

[Kensey Recorded Voice] Kensey Baker.

Okay, what would you like to know?

[Reed Recorded Voice] How

well do you know the victim?

[Kensey Recorded Voice]

Uh, I don't know her a lot at all,

actually.

Uh, I know that she likes

to frequent late night spots.

Mm.

[Reed Recorded Voice]

Well what spots has she visited?

[Kensey Recorded

Voice] I'm sorry, I don't,

we really weren't that close.

[Reed Recorded Voice] All right.

[Kensey Recorded Voice] I really need to

get my friend home.

(Reed sighs)

(car beeps) (keys clink)

(Reed sighs) (door thumps)

(pattering footsteps)

(quiet rhythmic music)

Mm mm, I'm on the guest list.

(rhythmic dance music) (people chattering)

Slow night tonight, huh?

Yeah, we're just now getting started.

What can I get for you?

I might like to see who the owner is.

[Speaker] Dang, you look fine.

[Bartender] Thank you,

you're very stunning yourself.

Now what was that? Sorry about that.

Uh, I'd like to see who's in charge.

Can you find someone?

(people chattering) (rhythmic party music)

What's this?

It's on the house, Detective.

How did you know?

You don't find him, he finds you.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

It is very distasteful to waste a drink.

Yeah, well I'm on duty.

Hm.

It was a cafe con queso.

My abuela used to make those.

I heard you were looking for me.

Are you the owner?

Co-owner, with my brother, Daniel.

(chuckles) He looks so young.

We get that.

Come, let's go speak somewhere quiet.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

So Detective, what brings you to my lounge?

Should I be concerned?

No, (sighs) you seem

like you run a decent,

honest establishment.

I do.

Yeah well, there's been a

spike of homicides in this area.

Is that so?

Mmhmm.

You ever notice?

If it doesn't pertain to this lounge,

it doesn't concern me.

Well, speaking of your lounge,

most of the victims have

died within one week of visiting.

And according to our last

victim, she died the night of.

That's horrible.

But I cannot help that

my lounge is a hotspot,

and people come here to enjoy themselves.

Yeah, I see the pattern.

I can assure you, Detective,

that whatever happened to those people,

had nothing to do with my lounge.

So what about the bouncers

here that manage the list?

What about them?

How well do you know them?

Do you not trust me, Detective Reed?

I don't know you.

Maybe we should change that.

Look, Mr. Uh-

Hanson.

Hanson.

I know about the facts, and the facts state

that this lounge is the

center of my investigation.

Listen, Detective, all

of this is very unfortunate,

but I can assure you that people come here

for an experience of a lifetime,

and it does not end in death.

What about this woman, do you know her?

Did she leave alone?

No, she left alone last night.

So you do know her.

I do, she left right before closing.

So do people usually leave late?

I would be surprised if they didn't.

Okay, can I review your cameras

so I can see if she left

with someone outside?

Mm, now Miss Reed-

Detective Reed.

You gonna need a warrant for that.

My clientele expect a

certain level of privacy,

but I can assure you, she left alone.

And you expect me

to take your word for it?

I do.

Look, until I get some

real information here,

you're gonna be on my radar.

Maybe that's not a bad thing.

Um, just give me a call

if you find out any more information, okay?

Sure you don't wanna stay?

The fun is just now beginning.

There's something about your eyes.

It's a family trait.

Look, if you find any more information,

just please, give me a call.

(upbeat dance music)

(people chattering) (upbeat dance music)

(ice clinking) (upbeat dance music)

[Daniel] So what do you think?

I do not know.

But she does seem fun.

Something just doesn't seem right.

I think we should call a meeting.

You're right.

Really, right now?

Y'all mess up everything.

(people chattering)

(gentle quiet music)

Hanson, my darling,

this meeting must be of high value

for you to interrupt my sleep.

It is, Mother.

Well spit it out.

Some of us are actually

enjoying ourselves tonight.

- Corin.

- Hanson,

what is the emergency?

It's been brought to my attention

that there have been bodies

popping up all over the city.

And?

Why do we care about

the dead bodies, brother?

Because I overhead the detective

talking about the

medical examiner's report,

all of the bodies have come

back drained and burned.

Detective?

Yes, a detective came by the club.

The victims all apparently

have been to our lounge

the night of their deaths.

That is correct.

The police have been

investigating these murders

for a few weeks now.

Why am I just now hearing about this?

I wasn't able to make

the correlation until recently.

Who has been k*lling the humans?

Feeding is one thing,

but you know our rules.

It's not us.

Mother, come on.

- We wouldn't.

- You know us.

I believe the children.

They wouldn't go against our rules.

They wouldn't betray me.

(gentle quiet music)

Hanson, meet your brother at the club

and have him investigate.

And about this detective?

I have it under control, I promise.

Are you sure?

Yes.

We have gone undetected

in this city for decades.

I will not allow anyone

to ruin what we have built,

absolutely no one.

Should we call your little boy toy?

No.

We won't need Levi yet.

Mm.

(upbeat party music)

(door clatters)

- Come on, come on.

I got you, I got you, I got you baby.

We good, we good, we good.

But why did they kick us out?

'Cause-(Kori belches)

They were the ones in the wrong.

It's cool, okay?

Let's just go, all right?

No, no!

[Fred] Wait wait, come here.

Come on, girl.

They, they just have a

problem with my lifestyle.

Look, it's cool, all right?

We'll not let 'em ruin your night, baby.

You're way too pretty for that. (Chuckles)

Plus, I'm having way too much fun with you.

You're just saying that.

[Fred] I mean it, babe.

Come here.

(dramatic music) What are you doing?

(Fred growls) (Kori screaming)

Wait wait wait. (Muttering) (grunts)

(gasps)

- What

are you doing in my city?

Please, all right, I was

just looking for a quick meal.

It wasn't even violent.

[Daniel] Taking advantage of people,

getting women too drunk to

ever notice what you're doing?

You disgust me! (Fred grunts)

[Fred] Sorry!

Who's draining people in the city?

[Fred] It wasn't me.

Then who?

Give me names! (Fred whimpers)

(stuttering) House of

Cain, uh, House of Cain,

I think that's what they go by.

And where can I find them?

(Fred muttering)

They got a spot, they got a spot.

A late night spot.

I'll go there sometime to

find company, you know,

drugs and everything,

Bliss, yes, that's the name.

I want you to leave this city,

and I don't ever want you to come back.

Okay, yeah, you ain't never-

(fist thumps face) (Fred grunts)

Ow, God, (mutters)

[Daniel] Now let's see if your friends

find you attractive after this.

[Fred] Ow!

[Daniel] Where's Levi?

He had to handle

something, don't worry about it.

Did you find out anything?

There's a clan of new bloods in town,

the House of Cain,

and they have a bar across town.

And you went?

[Daniel] Of course.

That was dangerously stupid, Daniel.

Daniel, tell me everything.

(upbeat music)

(people chattering) (hollering)

God, mm hmm, yes ma'am.

Mmhmm, mm hmm.

Mmhmm, mm hmm.

Uh, what's goin' on man?

We need to let these

people in, this line too long.

Well I haven't properly vetted

everyone on the list yet, Jonah.

Hey, what are you scared of, Simon?

There's no one to fear except us.

Scared, really?

Look, you didn't catch that?

[Jonah] Hey, catch what?

Look, I just, it's a scent, man.

Keep this line empty, we

need a full house tonight.

If you say so.

Hey y'all, come on in.

(pattering footsteps) (upbeat party music)

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

(upbeat dramatic music) (people chattering)

[Partier] Yeah, baby.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

That's what I need.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

(partiers whistling) (chattering)

(partier moaning) (chuckling)

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

(labored breathing)

Now, now I feel it.

Jonah, are you satisfied?

(Jonah mutters response)

- I got you.

Uh, excuse me, this

room's off limit, ladies.

What do you mean off limits?

You need to partake

your party in another room.

But I want this room.

Ma'am, I won't say it

again, party somewhere else.

All right, big man, you got it.

I know.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

(door clatters) (squeaks)

(upbeat party music)

I know you're here.

(Ethan sniffs)

I can smell you. (Dramatic

suspenseful music)

Just tell me why you were spying on us,

and I won't k*ll you.

I promise. (Dramatic suspenseful music)

(Daniel hisses) (grunts)

(pair growling) (dramatic music)

(Ethan hisses)

(labored breathing) (low growling)

If what Daniel says is true

and there is a new

house of vampires in town,

we have to remove them quickly.

But we don't know how many they are.

I counted six,

and the one that followed

me was the weakest.

And you didn't k*ll him?

What if he followed you here?

He and his clan were young bloods,

I didn't feel the need to k*ll him.

He felt my age.

You intrigued him, you idiot.

Maybe so, but at least

now they have to think

very carefully about

making their next move.

I don't think we should

make a move against 'em.

- Mm.

- Why not?

Because we have the advantage.

How much can they know about us?

We know about them.

They came to our city causing chaos.

It can't be much.

He's right.

They have no idea what

they've gotten themselves into.

Okay.

Then we conduct business as usual.

(slaps legs) Sounds good to me.

Can I go?

This just isn't going to go away.

We are aware of that.

Everyone must stay

on guard, be on high alert.

Don't let your guard down. (Dramatic music)

(siren wailing)

I already told you I

was not working it tonight.

So where were you off to?

Look, I know what I saw.

Why don't you believe me?

Look, I need you to calm down

before I put you in restraints.

Do you need help with that?

I got this.

Just another working girl

who couldn't handle her liquor.

I know what I saw,

you have to believe me.

Something is going on.

So why have you been ghosting me?

I haven't been ghosting you.

Look, can we talk about this later?

I'll call you.

Okay, Detective.

Well something's definitely

going on between you two.

(pattering footsteps)

- Shut up.

(humming traffic)

(gentle quiet music) (shuffling footsteps)

(cupboard creaks) (clatters)

I'm surprised you even called me at all.

(Reed sighs)

(cup clanks)

- I actually have to go.

It's your off day at work.

Hey look, don't make this awkward, okay?

You know I knew about the

other guys in the department.

Just thought it would be different with us.

What is your problem?

You got some type of commitment issues?

Do you want me to call you a ride share

or do you have somebody

to come pick you up?

Just go get dressed, okay?

(Reed sighs) (gentle quiet music)

(gentle pattering footsteps)

Lose my number, Detective.

(pattering footsteps) (door clatters)

(birds chirping)

(clicking keyboard)

Reed, isn't this your off day?

What?

(chuckles) You need

to get a work life balance.

(pattering footsteps)

(clicking keyboard)

(dramatic upbeat music)

(motorcycle rumbles)

(dramatic upbeat music)

And who is this guy?

(dramatic upbeat music) (engine rumbling)

(traffic humming)

(muffled party music) (people chattering)

[Curry] Your cop

friend is out front again.

I thought you handled this.

I am handling it.

Finish the inventory.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

(upbeat dramatic music)

(engine rumbles) (upbeat dramatic music)

Damn.

(upbeat dramatic music)

(gentle suspenseful music)

(vampires slap hands)

(door creaks)

(gentle suspenseful music)

Damn. (Gentle suspenseful music)

(partiers hollering) (upbeat dance music)

Leaving so soon?

Yeah, this is not exactly

what I was expecting.

What were you expecting?

Something fun.

(partiers hollering) (upbeat dance music)

Come on, let's have some fun.

(door creaks) (muffled dance music)

What, that was (grunts)

[Liam] I got this one.

Oh. (Chuckles)

(gentle dramatic music)

How does this feel?

It feels great.

[Liam] Do you like that?

(gentle dramatic music)

Okay, that's enough, I'm tired of this.

(door clatters)

(knocks on window)

(Liam growls) (upbeat dramatic music)

Stop!

I said stop!

Turn around, put your hands up.

(g*n blasts)

Oh. (Gasps)

(labored breathing) (upbeat dramatic music)

(pattering footsteps)

(Reed grunts) (g*n clatters)

[Liam] Mm, a pure heart,

you're gonna be tasty.

(vampire growls)

(vampires grunting) (upbeat dramatic music)

[Reed Thought Voiceover] What was that,

I can't even say the word out loud.

It's so unbelievable,

but that bite, the pain,

the pleasure, the ectasy,

never felt anything like it.

Good, you're awake.

Where am I?

[Hanson] Someplace safe.

[Reed] How'd I get here?

I knew that you were

staking out my place,

so I followed you.

To Bliss?

[Hanson] Yes.

(Reed sighs)

That man. (Vampire growls)

I was dying, but I've never

felt anything better in my life.

Listen, I don't think

you know what you saw.

I do.

He had a mouthful of blood and-

(vampire growls)

He had fangs, he had fangs.

Listen, Detective,

I think you should go

home and get some rest.

You're not making any sense.

Don't make me out to seem like I'm crazy.

Okay. (Gentle melancholy music)

You were right, about everything.

I am?

Yes.

But now, I need you to do something for me.

Repeat after me,

I will go home.

I will go home.

I will forget everything about tonight.

I will forget everything about tonight.

I will not go to Bliss.

I will not go to Bliss.

Vampires are not real.

Vampires are not real.

(gentle melancholy music)

(Reed muttering) (gentle melancholy music)

(vampires growling)

(gentle melancholy music)

(whispers) Come to me. (Growls)

(water pattering) (gentle melancholy music)

(water hissing) (whispering chatter)

(gentle melancholy music)

(hand squeaking on mirror)

(gentle melancholy music)

(traffic hums)

Whoa, whoa, late night?

Yeah, pretty much.

Mm.

So you got any new updates on the case?

Oh, I'm still sorting

out the details, Captain.

Well, that's a no, huh?

All right, look Reed,

so you took a swing and you missed, huh?

It happens.

So now it's time to take the investigation

in a new direction.

Captain... Look,

I need you to clear your head, huh?

Now your witness is over

at your dest, waiting for you.

I need you to finalize her statement

and then keep it movin'.

Yes sir. Here, take that.

- Oh.

- Yeah, you need it,

- don't you? (Chuckles)

- Thank you.

Detective Reed, I have to admit,

I was surprised when

you returned my phone call.

I don't know why,

I told you if you had any

more information to just call me.

And you did good.

What do you wanna discuss?

I wanna talk to you about

what happened to Victoria's body.

[Reed] Oh, it's in the

morgue being examined.

No, that's not what I mean.

It's what I saw.

Okay, well let's go over what you said.

You said you found the

body burned from the sun.

[Kinsley] Yes.

And then, what happened after that?

The body was unresponsive.

[Kinsley] It was as if-

As if what?

As if someone had

sucked the life outta her.

What exactly are you saying?

All I'm saying is, the

body had been sucked dry.

Then when the sun came out, it burned it.

(dreamy gentle music)

(Reed grunts)

[Reed] What are you guys doin'?

What happened?

You were out of it for like 15 minutes.

Do I need to recommend a unit drug test?

No, you know I don't do drugs.

I don't know what you

do to crack your cases.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

We're done here.

[Kinsley] Okay.

(Captain Gallows mutters)

[Reed] Captain Gallows.

They just found another body.

This time it was Congressman Tyson's kid.

Now she was found just like all the rest.

(exhales) So what's up, you comin' or not?

(gentle dramatic music)

(doors thud) (gentle dramatic music)

Thank you for keeping this quiet for me.

When I saw who it

was, I figured I'd (mutters)

Give you a call.

- Well how long she been here?

Well by the looks of her

body, I'd say well over 12 hours.

Ah.

All right, well you get all the pictures

and evidence you need, huh,

and then you get her outta here.

We don't want the press to see any of this.

(traffic humming)

You see something?

Uh, no Captain, I didn't.

Look, if you have any intel on this,

you gotta let me know, all right?

I don't, I'm just tryin'

to make sense of it all.

Well I need you to keep

your head in the game

because if anybody can

figure this one out, it's you.

(gentle dreamy music) (whispering voices)

Cap, this better be important,

I just got off the back

nine, what's goin' on?

[Captain Gallows] I think

you need to take a step back

and take a minute, all right?

[Congressman Tyson]

You know what, Captain,

move the hell out of my way.

(Captain Gallows sighs)

(low growling) (gentle dreamy music)

No!

It's my baby girl!

(gentle dreamy music) (whispering voices)

Come to me.

(gentle dreamy music) (whispering voices)

(vampires growling)

Mani.

Twice in one day, Mani.

Now you need to go get checked out.

No Captain... I am placing you

on paid leave for the

remainder of the week.

- I'm feeling fine.

- Now,

there is something goin' on with you

and you need to figure that out, and fast.

Look, I won't be able to do my job.

Exactly.

The congressman doesn't want

you anywhere near this case,

and you know what?

I can't say that I disagree with him.

(Captain sighs)

- Now you know

I'm the best detective in the department.

I can't argue with that,

but there is clearly

something goin' on with you,

and since you refuse to get

help and get it checked out,

then I have no choice, my hands are tied.

What if more bodies pop

up, you're gonna take that risk?

Mani, Mani, go home, get some rest,

look at me.

Feel better, huh?

Come on.

(traffic humming)

(eerie dramatic music)

The House of Cain will want revenge

for that little stunt you pulled.

We'll just have to be ready.

We already have the advantage,

we have the experience, and the age.

Sometimes that's not enough.

They don't strike me as a

clan that follows the rules.

So what now?

We must be on high alert moving forward,

and always stay in pairs.

No telling when they may try to attack.

Understood.

Please relay my discernments to Corin.

I will.

Tobias.

Yes.

Has Mother been made

aware of my recent encounter?

She has, but I'll talk to her.

Thank you.

Daniel. (Gentle eerie music)

I feel this detective

has more to do with this

than you're letting on.

I handled it.

- Did you?

- Yes.

Okay then.

Carry on. (Gentle eerie music)

(upbeat dance music)

Detective, to what

do I owe this pleasure?

She wants to see our guest list,

but I told her she

needs a warrant for that.

Look, I'm not trying

to cause any problems,

I just wanna make

sure this place is cleared

of our suspect pool.

You should probably leave.

Daniel, please, we have nothing to hide.

You may look over our

guest list over the past month,

but no photos or copies.

Music's kind of loud.

Is there a quieter place

I can look over this?

Yes, my office.

(upbeat party music) (people chattering)

(door clatters)

If you need anything else, let me know.

I will. (Muffled party music)

(drawer swishes) (contents rattling)

(upbeat party music) (people chattering)

(muffled party music) (drawers clatter)

(door rattles) (squeaks)

Did you find what you're looking for?

I, I didn't.

What exactly are you

looking for, Detective?

Please, call me Mani.

Wow, not so formal now.

Did something change?

Truth is, I've been

investigating you for a while.

Me?

Yes.

I don't know what's wrong,

I can't put my finger on it,

but it bothers me.

Well Mani, I run a clean

establishment, as I said,

but what you're feeling from

me may not be suspicion,

but more curiosity.

- I don't think so.

- I do.

Mm.

I wanna help you with

your investigation, Mani, I do,

but first, I need to be

cleared of all wrong doing.

I don't think you're

responsible for the murders,

but I do think you know

more than what you're saying.

I know exactly just

about as much as you do.

What do you know about Bliss Lounge?

It's fairly new.

How well do you know all the owners?

I do not.

Hey, you know what?

Are you up for coffee in

the morning, you know,

different setting?

Mornings are not good for

me, being here late and all.

Lunch?

No good, sorry.

[Reed] I get it, this place is your life.

Yes, it takes up a lot of my time.

Must have been working

here for a long time, hm.

Sometimes it feels like a century.

(gentle eerie music)

Well, if you don't mind me,

I need to get back to work.

No, I guess I'll be seeing you around.

(gentle eerie music)

I'm sure you will, I'm sure you will.

(door creaks) (clatters)

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

I do not care about

how you feel about this,

it's to keep us all safe.

I'm not scared of others like us,

and I don't need you

babysitting me everywhere I go.

What is happening here?

He's insisting on going

to a rave party, by himself.

Corin, it is for our safety.

Tobias is not our leader!

All he does is advise,

and we're not obligated to take his advice.

You're being foolish.

Call it what you want, I call

it having a mind of my own.

(chair clatters) (gentle eerie music)

He'll learn.

He'll learn.

Now,

tell me more about this encounter, Liam.

He did something to

me, he went in my head.

He made me against Simon.

How is that even possible?

There's only a few of

us who have the ability

to manipulate another of our kind.

Whisperers. (Vampires growl)

And their abilities vary,

as you may now know.

It seems the House of

Amin has one of their own.

We cannot deny that this house is powerful,

but they are old.

And all old things must come to an end.

If we wanna take over

this city, we gotta act now.

I wanna use my hands to

get the person that attacked me

and took the pure meal away from me.

[Jonah] We need a strategy!

The plan is to attack

the weakest one together,

tire him out, and when

his power is at its weakest,

we go in for the k*ll.

[Jonah] I like it.

Well Ethan, you got a look

at him, who do you suggest?

I have an idea. (Growls)

(gentle quiet music)

I wanna talk to you about something.

Anything, my friend.

Hanson has not taken

care of the detective problem.

If anything, I think he's encouraging her.

We're gonna have to

do something about that.

I'll go fetch him.

(upbeat party music) (people chattering)

Ow, you bit my lip.

Sorry, I got carried away.

Yeah well, you're lucky

I'm into that kinda stuff.

(people chattering) (upbeat party music)

Yes.

Did the detective come by the lounge?

She did.

I thought you said you had it handled.

Why is she still snooping?

[Hanson] It is being handled.

That's not acceptable, Hanson.

We expected this to

be dealt with nights ago.

She just wants to clear

us in her investigation.

She knows that we are innocent.

Is that what she told you?

By not speaking with her make us seem

like we have something to hide.

Is that why you've been enabling her?

Enabling?

By me cooperating with her

makes us seem less guilty.

No, you're putting a target on her back

and you're putting us in

a compromising position.

So what now?

So now we have to take drastic measures

because of what you failed to do,

and we've already sent Levi to do it.

And as of now, Daniel

will take lead at the lounge.

Mother.

Don't question my decisions.

(Anna sighs)

(dramatic upbeat music) (people chattering)

(dramatic upbeat music)

(vampires growling) (dramatic upbeat music)

It's time for you to die.

Get him!

(upbeat dramatic music) (vampires growling)

You're tired, exhausted,

there's no way out.

(vampires growling) (upbeat dramatic music)

(gentle eerie music)

- Mm.

Levi, please.

What are you doing here?

I cannot let you k*ll her.

(Levi laughs)

Sorry little Hanson,

Mother has commanded it.

Levi, this not what we do.

What happens if she gets too close?

All that we've been protecting,

what happens then, huh?

Do you know what would

happen if we were exposed,

Hanson?

I understand, but I know what I'm doing.

(vampires growling) (dramatic music)

(pair gasping) (gentle dramatic music)

Corin.

We have to go now.

Now. (Gentle somber music)

(door clatters)

What are you doing?

What's going on?

Hanson, you're crying, come inside.

(door clatters)

What's goin' on?

What are you doin' here?

Hanson, want some coffee or some tea?

(gentle somber music)

My brother, he's dead.

What?

Corin, he's been k*lled.

How do you know that?

[Hanson] I can't feel him anymore.

You need to report this.

I'm gonna call someone in

on this missing persons case

or I'll get somebody on my unit on this.

No.

I can't have anyone else involved.

Then what do you wanna do?

I know what needs to be done.

Hanson, revenge is not the answer,

you need to let the

justice system do its job.

You do not understand.

Well then help me understand, what?

I can't.

[Reed] Is this what's goin' on before?

I never shoulda come here.

Well you came here.

Just tell me what's goin' on.

I can't, trust me.

Whatever it is that you're holding in,

it is eating you alive.

I can see it in your eyes.

Hanson.

Hanson, just let me help you, please.

I wanna help you.

Let me help you.

[Reed Thought

Voiceover] I don't understand

this man's hold on me,

but I'm compelled to be close to him.

Breathe him in.

I feel like my very

existence depends on him.

(gentle somber music)

(Hanson growls)

(Reed cries out) (gentle somber music)

(crickets chirping)

We have to attack

and take every single

last one of them down.

No.

We need a plan, Anna,

we cannot go into this blind.

We will avenge our beloved.

The leader of this clan will pay dearly

and the rest will follow.

They will be expecting us.

Then we will drive them out.

Where is Hanson?

Find him!

(gentle dramatic music)

Something about you makes

me never wanna leave your side.

Hm.

Did you hear me?

Yes, I did.

So, you were just gonna ignore me?

(gentle somber music)

Well, where are you goin'?

I have to go.

Wait a second, hold on,

I tell you how I feel about you,

and you just gonna get up and leave?

Do you know how hard

that was for me to say that,

for me to even want that?

(pattering footsteps) (gentle somber music)

(Reed exhales)

Wait, wait one second.

Look, I don't want you to leave.

I have family matters to attend to.

I understand that, but we need to talk.

You owe me that much.

Walk with me.

So it is true, you are a-

Yes, yes I am.

Wow, it just doesn't make sense,

it just seems like it just

doesn't have a logic to it.

And yet, here I am. (Bike bell rings)

What about your family?

My family is over two centuries old.

Over the years, we've learned

to adapt to the human way.

Wow.

So I heard you and Daniel

talking about your mother.

Do you have a father?

Hasn't been one of

those for many years now.

Yeah, we have that in common.

Haven't seen mine for many years.

Maybe that explains the

reason why I am the way I am.

How do you survive?

Well, we don't k*ll people,

if that's what you're implying.

- Mm.

- Told you we were innocent.

We drink mostly synthetic

blood, and donated blood.

This is unbelievable.

And yet, you're not afraid.

No, mostly I'm uneasy, more intrigued.

I just have a lot of questions.

Do you like being a vampire?

I do.

It's all I can remember now.

And because of it, I've

seen the entire world

and lived through multiple

lifetimes and experiences.

I don't know, it's something

about the finality of life,

just gives you more of a reason

to find the joy in everything.

To be honest, I can't

stop thinking about you.

Besides working on the case,

I just can't get you outta my head.

Deep down,

it's like I always knew you

were something special.

I feel the same about you.

I'm drawn to you.

So it wouldn't be terrible

to spend a lifetime with me then.

It wouldn't be terrible at all,

but why do you have

this desire to stay with me?

I don't know, I feel like

I'm supposed to be with you.

I mean, what is it about me

that you feel like you

have to be close to me?

Besides being beautiful,

it's your pure heart.

It could be dangerous for

you and very addictive for me.

Should I be scared?

No, never.

I could never hurt you.

Maybe a younger vampire,

but I've had many

years to practice control.

You can trust me.

Okay.

So what is this about a pure heart?

You have a good heart, good

intentions, and you're noble.

Yeah, tell that to my exes.

They say I tend to leave them all broken.

They weren't worthy of your heart.

So just because I'm a good person,

supposedly I have a good heart?

Indeed, I can smell it.

It's very enticing to our kind.

What am I supposed to

do with all this information

now that I know about vampires?

(upbeat dramatic music)

Where have you been?

I went to see the detective.

I couldn't let Levi k*ll her, Mother.

Human love always

ends in disaster, darling.

Eyes up, we have a plan.

(gentle dramatic music)

You know I smell you, right?

So come on out.

(upbeat dramatic music) (vampires growling)

Sounds like they're losing.

Well that isn't acceptable.

(upbeat dramatic music)

Now.

(vampires growling) (upbeat dramatic music)

(vampire laughs) (vampire growls)

(upbeat dramatic music) (vampires growling)

You didn't think it would

be that easy, did you?

(vampires growling) (upbeat dramatic music)

(neck crackles) (upbeat dramatic music)

Tobias, how could you?

How could I?

After centuries of being overlooked by you

and taken for granted by this house,

you and I have been

together for countless lifetimes,

and yet, you choose Levi over me as a mate.

I'm done being your puppet, Anna.

It is time I lead my own house.

And you think he'll

let you run his house?

[Tobias] That is the deal.

If you believe that, then you're a fool.

[Tobias] Mm.

Tobias, you've been my oldest friend.

Don't do this.

Yes, yes I was a fool

for thinking I could be anything

other than your errand boy.

Well, all that ends tonight.

All right then, Tobias,

then you deserve everything

that's coming to you.

(vampires growling) (upbeat dramatic music)

(door thuds)

(vampires growling) (upbeat dramatic music)

Let's finish them.

(dramatic upbeat music) (vampires growling)

Wait, I didn't have

anything to do with this, I can't-

Tobias! (Grunts)

(vampire screams)

You wonder why they all didn't perish

with Raine's demise?

You created them?

Now you're figuring it out.

Tobias, how could you betray me?

You were our family.

No, I was your puppet.

But that wasn't good enough for me.

Your thirst for power

will not end in your favor.

It will end the way it

was always meant to.

(upbeat dramatic music)

(vampires growling)

I really hate k*lling

you, I liked your style.

(vampires growl)

Hey! (g*n blasts)

Hey, you okay?

(vampires growling) (upbeat dramatic music)

You told me we were the same age.

Yes, I did.

This is for Corin.

(Tobias screaming in pain)

(vampires growling)

(gentle somber music)

[Reed Thought Voiceover] In 100 years,

I would have never thought vampires

would be at the center

of all these murders,

the case of a lifetime.

I told you I always catch my criminal,

but this time, I paid the price.

What should we do with her?

I can't let her die.

She saved me.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Save her, Hanson, before the sun comes up.

(gentle somber music)

[Reed Thought Voiceover] I guess this is

always how it was gonna

be from the first bite,

this was always gonna be the outcome.

Looks like this is my last shift.

(gentle peaceful music)

(upbeat bouncy music)

We always get to plan

A, never need no plan B

Sticking to your memory

and this where we be

We always get to plan
