Previously on The Lair...

What I'm trying to tell you

is that all those murders you've been writing about

- are linked to that club. - The Lair?

Whoa. Members only.

Aah!

He's not dead.

It's almost like a...

vampire's bite.

I'm not even sure what this is.

Something to do with the John Doe murders.

Myths and Legends of the Coast.

This is where I've seen it before.

There's a curse.

But what a lovely curse:

to be young forever.

It's time.

Time to rise.

''Now the only way you can join him

is in death.''

God!

Oh, my God! Thom!

I mean, what can make a person

do something like that against their will?

It's a fool's folly, my friend.

And one that I'm certain is gonna bring about his downfall.

How can you be so sure of that?

Because I plan to cause it.

Thom.

I want you to come to me, Thom.

Are you trying to run out on me?

I don't want to go home ause you're there.

I think he's coming around.

Who am I?

I've protected it for all these years.

No one has ever--

Someone here has betrayed me.

I wanna find out who it is

I went in to change the dressing on his throat,

and I noticed the wound had healed.

How could that be?

You think Eric can endanger us?

We'll have to be cautious.

Aah!

Is he really dead this time?

I mean...for sure?

Pick up the knife.

And now you know what to do.

What the hell are you doing?

Laura, stop. Wake up.

You don't wanna-- Wake up!

Stop!

What's the matter with you?

Laura, put the knife down.

Just put the knife down.

What the hell are you two doing in here?

Stay back! She's got a knife!

Laura, calm down. Put the knife down.

Give me the knife.

Give me the knife or I'll take it from you.

Oh, my God!

Don't just sit there, call 911!

Will you snap out of it?

What's the trouble, kid?

This man needs a medic. He's been stabbed.

Hey, step on it, Doc.

You got a patient up here in a bad way.

Who did it?

I did. I don't know why.

I don't even know why I'm in this room.

You guys sound like a broken record.

Doc?

Sheriff, this man's dead.

Oh, God, no!

All right, cover him up, and don't touch anything.

Of course.

Who is he, a boyfriend?

Mm-hmm.

Is he the one that gave you that shiner?

What was he doing here?

Don't say anything. Wait for a lawyer.

That's the law.

I'd tell you, but I-I don't know.

I mean, I can't remember anything.

Damn it, I've had just about enough

of this ''I don't remember'' crap.

Sheriff, please, can't you see

she's in no condition to talk?

Stow it, doc.

I come in here after loading up a walking stiff

and find the two of you with a dead man on the floor.

and all you can say is ''I can't remember''?

It's the truth! I was-- I was downstairs.

I was making a sandwich,

and the next thing I know I'm here in this room,

and Jimmy's dead.

Yeah, Jimmy's dead, all right,

and you killed him.

Locked away inside myself

Again

You can't forget who you are

Without me, can't you see?

Didn't know how cruel you could be

Oh, yeah.

You've got news for me?

I've heard things--

Things about your portrait.

Portrait?

You should tell me what you know, then, shouldn't you?

I heard it's in the old storage room

at the west end of the building.

Just like that?

How convenient.

Why don't you just bring it to me, then?

I tried to, but the door was bolted.

I couldn't open it.

For all the years I've known you,

you've never lifted a finger

at helping me willingly.

Now you come to me with the information I need

and give it to me freely.

You told us to look for your painting.

I thought that's what you wanted.

It is.

I just want to know what your motivation is.

What do you want?

I want nothing.

Of course you do.

And I want to know what it is.

Well...

if I could have anything, I'd--

I'd want to be like you.

Be like me?

Something so simple?

I want to live forever.

I don't want to die.

You're afraid of death, aren't you, Francis?

I am.

Then I hope you're not wasting my time.

That portrait is something I wouldn't joke about.

Honest. I'm only telling you what I heard, Damian.

Is Colin behind this?

I can't say.

I wouldn't dare.

What's the date today?

March 15th. Why?

No reason.

No reason at all.

I know this doesn't mean anything to you two,

I know this doesn't mean anything to you two,

but we've found another body tonight.

It was the body of a man

who turned up dead about a week ago.

I don't get it.

Well, the body, after lying at the morgue for a few days,

decided it wasn't dead, and got up and walked out.

It's about the necklace--

the amulet that Thom had.

Maybe it has some sort of power.

Maybe it can bring back the dead.

But around here, death is just the beginning.

I should get back to the hospital.

The morgue is filling up pretty fast tonight,

and people are going to be looking for answers.

All right, I got to take Miss Rivers into custody.

I understand that, but remember,

she's had a pretty strong shock,

and is very fragile right now.

Please treat her gently.

Don't worry, doc.

I'll wear my best kid gloves.

Can I go with you?

I'll be all right. Don't-- Don't worry.

Sheriff.

Sure.

But as soon as I get my hands on that search warrant,

I'm burning rubber over the The Lair.

When that happens, I want to be there.

Good. Go get your stuff.

Come on. Let's go.

Look. The door's been opened.

Someone has been here.

You're right, Francis.

For once in your miserable life, you're right.

It seems I've been a bad fellow,

and it shows.

Good work, Frankie.

Tomorrow belongs to me.

Look, I hate to keep you in here, Miss,

but it might be the biggest favor I could do for you.

I'm not afraid anymore.

Just the same, if someone's trying to kill you kids,

it's gonna be harder for them to get at you in here.

I know that it's hard to believe.

I-I wouldn't believe it myself

if I wasn't in the middle of this.

But there is a power at work here.

It's-- It's an evil force of some kind

that takes control of people's minds.

It makes them forget it.

It makes them try to kill themselves.

Makes them try to kill others?

It's crazy, but you know I'm right.

For a moment, let's just say

I believe everything you're telling me, okay?

What's my next move?

I don't know.

If they're witches,

the amulet that Thom had

could be the key to their power.

But if they're vampires?

Who knows?

A wooden stake, a cross.

What if they're both?

Just-- Just tell me you'll be careful.

Don't worry about me.

I can handle these guys dead or alive.

I see you've decided to join me.

Are you looking for this?

Well, don't.

Colin, what are you doing?

That should be very apparent.

I'm walling you in.

Alive.

But why?

It's really quite simple if you think about it.

You see, you've become bad for business,

a liability.

For some times, I've watched you spiral downward

from that great leader that you once were

to this pathetic love-struck fool

that would destroy us.

This Family needs great leadership,

the kind that I can give it.

But as you've pointed out so often,

we needed that portrait, or we were all doomed.

This is really in the best interests of all of us.

You remain alive, and the portrait is protected.

Satisfies both requirements.

And what of The Family?

Do you think they'll approve

of your little power play?

Most of them already know, and those who don't...

they'll come around to my way of thinking soon enough.

You see,

you put yourself above the good of the rest of us,

and that is a very bad position to be in,

as you can now see.

I will not be defeated so easily, Colin.

Your rule over The Family

will be a very short-lived one.

And one that I will enjoy immensely.

Good-bye, my friend.

It's a pity that you can't die.

Enjoy eternity.

I know I will.

No!

No!

When I snap my fingers,

you'll awaken from your dream.

Oh, my God, my head.

Better?

Hey, where am I?

You're in The Lair, and it's almost dawn.

Who are you, and why am I a prisoner here?

You've run afoul of a very old and respected Family.

We don't take lightly to outsiders.

You and your boyfriend should have left well enough alone.

Where is Jonathan?

Oh, you're gonna see him soon enough.

The truth is, we're a coven...

of vampires,

and when the sun sets again,

you're going to die.

You can't be serious.

You're just gonna have to trust me on this one.

But I'll be back later, to prove it to you.

Well, I got it.

Took waking a few people up,

and, uh, they weren't too happy about it.

So now we can get inside and look for Thom.

We can go have a look-see,

but why all the sudden concern for your pal Thom?

Starting to get your memory back?

No.

Okay, but don't hold out on me, all right?

The moment you remember anything,

you tell me immediately.

I will.

What?

I heard them say

that your wound had healed almost completely.

Said it was a miracle,

but I never really believed it.

Well?

I do now.

Ready to go?

Yeah.

Let's go clubbing.

Well, the better part of the day has passed.

With the sunset,

I will finally face my enemies.

I wonder if I'm supposed to wind up in a ditch

like the others...

or something even worse in store for me.

Whoever's behind this, thank you.

Aah!

Hello!

Anybody here?

Dr. Belmont, please.

Thom? What's happened to you?

They've been looking everywhere for you.

It's kind of a long story.

I just need to know about Jonathan.

He went home yesterday, but a lot has happened since then.

What are you saying?

Jonathan is with Sheriff Trout.

Last I heard, they were at the Sheriff's Department.

Laura Rivers is in trouble.

Laura, is she hurt?

No. Thom, she stabbed her boyfriend.

He's dead, and she's under arrest.

I'm going over there right now.

Well, Thom, wait!

Now listen up, both of you.

Just because I'm holding a search warrant

doesn't mean we're not in danger in this place, okay?

I just want to see

if we can find any evidence of what's going on,

and if we're lucky,

maybe we'll find your missing boyfriend, okay?

Don't expect a warm welcome.

Can I at least hold a gun?

Sorry, kid. You ain't no deputy.

Rogers, you ready?

Ready as I'll ever be,

I don't like this.

Okay, inside.

All right, Laura said she thought they were vampires.

If that's true, then they might all be asleep.

Vampires?

You didn't say anything about any vampires.

Can it, Rogers.

I said she thought they were vampires.

It's not the same thing.

What if they think they're vampires?

Then we have a big problem.

All right, listen up.

Rogers, I want you to go through that hallway.

I'm gonna go back into the work areas.

What about me?

Stick by the front door.

Let out a holler if you see anything, okay?

You can bet on it.

All right, take off.

Okay, guys, wakey-wakey. Rise and shine.

Okay.

Stay right there. Stay right there.

Aah! No! Aah!

Aah!

My God. Laura.

Thom, you're all right. Where have you been?

Everybody thought you were dead.

I know. That was a distinct possibility, but I'm okay.

What happened to you?

I was under some sort of psychic spell.

I tried to tell the sheriff,

but I don't think he believed me.

You know how you tried to hang yourself

and you couldn't stop it from happening?

I tried to stab Jonathan last night.

He got out of the way, but Jimmy--

Jimmy wasn't so lucky, and he's dead.

I killed him.

I know. Dr. Belmont told me.

I think you're right about the coven.

In the book, they're not a legend.

They're real, and they know who we are.

The Lair. It's their home.

It's where they've been hiding.

It's perfect for them.

The sheriff just laughed at me.

Where's Jonathan?

He's with Sheriff Trout.

They got a search warrant,

and they're at The Lair looking for you.

Damn it. I've got to warn them.

Thom.

You are all I have left.

I know.

Don't worry.

Couldn't stay away, I see.

You know, you really should apply for membership.

It has so many rewards.

You.

Ah. So now you remember.

And I can see why.

Damian's power over you has been...

well, cut off.

But none of that really matters,

Now that you're here.

Where's Thom?

Oh, I wouldn't worry about him.

I'd be much more concerned

about what's gonna happen next.

Yeah, well, you should be, too.

Well...

the gang's all here.

Sheriff, this man is trespassing.

Don't you want to arrest him?

He's with me, and I have a search warrant.

Well. By all means, please.

Search to your heart's content.

I already did, but all I found was you.

What are you gonna do now,

charge me with a crime?

What would it be?

I don't know yet,

but we're all gonna head down to the station

until I can think of something.

I don't think I can do that.

My eyes are a little too sensitive to the sunlight.

Put some sunglasses on, you freak,

'cause we're leaving now. Move it!

Sheriff, look out, look out!

Jonathan!

Oh, my God, you're okay.

Thom.

Jon.

We came here looking for you.

They had me locked up.

They were gonna kill me. But I got away.

I'm gonna go check the sheriff.

I think he's hurt really bad.

Oh, my God!

We got to call somebody.

This guy needs help.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!
