What's your name?

Wrath. I'm here to take care of you.

Killing ordinary vampires is only slightly more difficult than killing a

But the Black Dagger Brotherhood, their Scribe Virgin has bred them to be

monstrously strong.

I've made some important progress.

I'm going to set you free from that assassin.

Don't talk about Wrath like that.

Where are we headed?

I thought we'd have a little friendly competition.

Please, both!

Let me see your hands.

I'm your disciple.

Let him go!

You're about to get sick, Beth. And I'm the only one who can help you.

Who was my father?

He was as I am.

Beth,

listen to me. What? So you can... Tell me you're a fucking vampire.

Don't tell me that I'm going.

What's going to happen to me? Change is going to come fast.

It should all up sometime around our 25th birthday.

Can I stop this from happening?

In life's human.

Better take cover, son.

Billy.

Pretty good job tonight.

Played the game well, son.

Until just now.

Thank you, Stephanie.

Okay, motherfucker.

I'm going to get ugly wasted tonight.

You shouldn't stick around.

Nah, I'll hang and see it through.

Then I'll drag you back into your apartment, watch you throw up for an

push you into bed.

Before I leave, I'll get the coffee machine set up.

Aspen will be right next to the sugar bowl.

I don't have a sugar bowl. Then it'll be next to the bag.

You made a great wife, Jose.

That's what mine tells me.

The joint stars that fueled off that suspect.

Same as the ones we found at the car bomb and around Cherry's body.

No prints.

Get them off the internet for about 12 bucks a pop.

The other weapons?

Floppy set of daggers.

No identifying manufacturer.

Standing 9mm guns with the serial numbers filed off. But the freaky thing

bullets.

Never seen anything like them.

Hollow, filled with some kind of liquid.

Boys think it's just water, but why would someone do that?

You gotta be kidding me.

No prints.

He's a real professional.

Doesn't sound like a real homegrown.

We're going over ballistics on the guns and checking the money to see if it's

hot. First thing in the morning, we'll give the NYC boys everything we got, but

it's not gonna be much.

If anything happens to Beth, we'll find him.

Gotta help him if he hurts.

Gotta help him.

He's not my lover.

But the cop He's not so If

you see him again, don't kill him Okay

You

really didn't mean to sleep with me last night, did you no I didn't

So why did you?

Because I had to.

Why?

You made me.

The feel of you.

Look, I want you to crash here, but I've got to take off.

Why?

Are you running away?

Take advantage of you.

You've been through enough tonight.

I'm angry.

Scared. Confused.

I want you to make love to me until I don't feel.

Until I'm numb.

Anything I'd be using you.

Don't say no.

Jesus Christ.

Beth.

Beth, what's wrong?

Are you all right?

What are you doing?

What did I do? Beth, leave me.

Get the fuck back!

You get any closer and I'm going to bite you.

Got it?

You wouldn't hurt me. Get dressed.

Go upstairs.

I'll straight to take you home.

I'll turn toward to watch over you.

I won't leave.

Beth, please.

It hurts.

Hold on.

I can't hold myself back.

Go.

Thank you. I live at... Oh, I know where you live.

We've always known where you were.

First at St. Francis Hospital in neonatal intensive care.

Then you went home with a nurse.

We thought the nurse was going to keep you, but then the hospital made her give

you back.

And then you went into the system, and we didn't like that.

First you were assigned to the McWilliams' in Elmwood Avenue, but then

became ill and went back to the hospital with pneumonia.

After that, he went to the Ryans.

But there were too many children.

Then you went to the Goldriches, who lived on that split level off Raleigh

Street.

We thought the Goldriches were going to keep you.

But then she became pregnant.

And finally to that orphanage. Oh, we hated that you were there, because they

didn't let you out to play enough.

You keep saying we.

Yes.

Your father and I.

He knew me?

Oh, yes, mistress, all along.

Kindergarten and elementary school and high school.

Oh, we were so proud of you when you went to college on that academic

scholarship. I was there when you graduated.

Took pictures so your father could see.

He knew me.

We have every column you've ever written. When you started at the

Carrier Journal, your father refused to go to sleep in the morning until after

I'd brought him the paper, no matter how hard his night might have been.

He would not rest until he read what you wrote.

He was so, so proud of you.

Oh, yes.

Okay.

Now you must understand how hard it was for him to stay away from you.

Families of warriors must be guarded carefully, and you were unprotected

you were race human.

And he'd also hoped that you'd be spared the transition.

Did you know my mother?

Not well. She disappeared when she found out he wasn't human.

She didn't tell him she was pregnant.

And it was only when she was about to give birth that she reached out to him.

I think she was scared of what she was bringing into the world.

Unfortunately, she went into labor and was taken to a human hospital before we

could get to her.

But you should know that he loved her very deeply.

My father and... Wrath.

They were close?

Your father loved Wrath. We all do.

He's our king.

The king?

That's why your father sent him to you.

And here we are.

Neither your father nor I approve of your living in a ground floor unit.

Can I ask you more?

Later. Oh, mistress, yes, please. There's so much I want to tell you.

Ooh.

My lord?

I hate...

You need to feed.

Here, take my rat.

people.

Beth, I'm Torment, a friend of Rath's.

You can call me Tor.

I'm here to hang for a while.

I'll be right outside if you need anything.

Wait.

Why don't you... Please come in.

Okay.

Would you like something to drink?

You got any beer?

Oh.

Yeah, actually, I think I do.

I'm glad I finally met you.

Your father talked about you a lot.

Oatmeal raisin.

My favorite.

Oh.

I

thought

that vampires only drink blood.

No. There are nutrients in it, but we need food, too.

Garlic?

Bring it on.

You are not like Wrath.

No one's like Wrath.

He's a force of nature.

And he's deadly.

But there's no one who will take better care of you.

How do you know?

Um, he marked you.

I can smell it.

The warning's all over you, as if you were a Shaolin.

Is what?

Is mate. That scent on your skin sends a powerful message to other males.

You don't mind, do you?

Being his?

Do you have a wife or a mate?

Sheldon.

Wealthy.

We were promised to each other before our transitions. It was dumb luck that

fell in love.

Some males take more than one shell in, but I can't imagine being with another

female.

Does Rath have a shell in?

I think you better talk to him about that.

You want to watch something?

Yeah.

I think the new Godzilla's out.

Sweet. I always root for the monster.

Me too.

Marisa.

My lord.

I release you.

From the Covenant.

You must breathe.

Shit. This is what you've always wanted and I grant it to you now.

Marisa.

Don't say the words.

I cannot bear to hear the truth from your lips, even though I know it well.

You've always been ashamed to be tied to me.

This isn't about you.

I know.

I saw the female.

In your mind.

I'll be sorry that it took this long for me to see what has always been true.

I will still protect you.

No.

You won't.

I am no longer your concern.

Not that I've ever been.

Yeah. Good morning, sunshine.

Time. 11 o 'clock.

Thought you might want to know that Beth just called. They were looking for you.

And the guy?

Didn't mention him. But she did say she wanted to talk to you sometime today.

I canceled the APB out on her because she was calling from home. Told her you

were tied up until this afternoon.

They're coming in now. I wouldn't do that.

Eternal Fears has showed up here asking about you and Billy Riddle.

Captain's gunning for your ass, and you're in no position to run into him.

Sober up. I left some aspirin by the phone.

Figured you weren't going to make it to the coffee pot.

Take three, turn your ringer off, and sleep.

Anything exciting happens, I'll come and get you.

Love you, honey.

Then buy me a mink and a nice pair of earrings for the anniversary.

You got it.

What happened?

Spent it without pay, paying the conclusion of an internal investigation,

they'll officially can me. Told you not to come in, man.

Had to.

That Riddle guy deserves worse.

NYPD, what'd they find out on a suspect?

Nada. It's like he came out of nowhere.

No stars.

They were bought locally too, right? Yeah, sure.

Through martial arts academies. Yeah.

I'll see ya.

You already sent someone to go ask around.

No one remembers seeing the guy.

Christ, but it just won't bring your sister back.

You want to kick me in the nuts, too?

Just don't... Just don't push your luck out there, Detective.

Pushing's all I know how to do, Jose.

Detective O 'Neil, I hear you're doing some kind of investigation.

How exciting.

I'm completely at your disposal.

Hard at work, Randall?

Always.

You know, I heard a rumor that you went out with that homicide detective, O

'Neal.

So?

So, good job.

Work a little magic on him, see what you can get.

Might want to do a cover story on police brutality with him as a poster child.

And I just might be persuaded to.

Promote you.

Beth Randall.

Mistress, are you all right?

Sorry.

Yes, I'm fine.

Well, I probably shouldn't have called, but I didn't want you to be unprepared.

Martha has requested a special dinner for you and him. Alone.

I thought I might pick you up and we could find you a dress.

I know it's presumptuous of me. He's going to call you himself.

Mistress?

I would love to get a dress, Fritz. I would absolutely love to.

Thanks.

Hello?

Rebecca.

I thought I would join you.

I would be very pleased to have your company.

How was your work?

My work?

Fine.

Actually, it's better than fine.

As I mentioned, I had a bit of a breakthrough.

Feeding may soon be a thing of the past.

I transfused myself with stored blood this afternoon, and I feel fine.

You still miss Evangeline, don't you?

Painfully.

And drinking from another is simply not... agreeable to me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I've been so... preoccupied these past many years.

But it will be better now.

You could try the transfusion as well.

It will free you, too.

I would like to try it.

Drinking is no longer palatable to me, either.

Truly.

Yes.

Truly.

It's nothing.

But he... Now, can I?

Because it's over.

I have broken the covenant with Raph.

I will see him no more.

He has found another female who he wants.

And a tool that he preferred to you.

You do not know her.

She's human.

Or at least half human, from what I can tell from his thought. The Scribe Virgin

been contacted?

That is his duty.

Not mine.

But make no mistake.

He will go to her.

It is... over.

Butch! Hey.

Got time to talk?

Um, not right now.

Where are you going?

I have a date.

With who?

If you'll excuse me. What happened to the man last night, Beth?

Where is he?

Ah, fuck. Beth, don't do this.

Let go of me, bud.

You're dangerous.

And you aren't?

Aura, talk after work.

Beth, I can't let you.

Are you going to arrest me?

No.

Thank you.

Beth, please.

Nothing is as it seems.

I get a pretty clear fucking picture.

You're protecting a killer, Beth. There's a serious chance you're going to

stuffed into a pine box.

I saw the look on his face.

His hand was around my neck, squeezing the life right out of me.

A man like that's got murder in his blood.

It's in his nature.

How can you go to him?

Hell, how can you let him walk the streets?

Not like that.

Mistress, is there a difficulty?

No, Fred.

No problem.

Tomorrow.

But... Meet me here tomorrow.

If you live that long.

Rath, man.

Look at you.

Bite me.

No, thank you. I prefer female, although you've cleaned up nice.

You're here. Why?

You said you wanted us to meet her tonight.

I'm busy until midnight.

I'll tell the brothers to be ready then.

And Rath.

What? Your way into her. I think she feels the same way.

I'm only hanging in until she goes through the change. That's it.

Darius told me you turned him down when he asked you to take care of her.

What changed your mind?

He's dead.

I owe him.

You owed him when he was alive. I'm not talking about her to you or anyone else.

Got it?

And keep your mouth shut with the brothers.

Okay, okay.

But do yourself a favor and cop to what's going on with her.

An unacknowledged weakness is deadly.

Weakness?

This coming from a male who's dumb enough to love his shallon?

I am lucky to have found love.

I thank the Scribe Virgin every day that well sees in my life.

You're pathetic.

You've been dead for hundreds of years. You're just too mean to find a grave and

lie down. At least I'm not pussy whipped.

Nice fucking suit.

If you spend half the amount of time defending our race, that you do chasing

after that female of yours, we might not have lost Darius.

Ever think of that?

Fuck you, you arrogant asshole.

You better learn who your enemies really are before you find yourself standing

alone.

I'll throw the first course in 30 minutes, shall I? No.

We'll sit down now.

As you wish, Master. Right away.

You look... different in those clothes.

If you think they've civilized me, don't be fooled.

I'm not.

Good.

Now let's get this over with.

Why were you so late?

Did Fritz have to talk you into coming?

It was nothing like that.

Butch followed us. We had to wait till we got free of him.

Wine?

Why are you afraid of me now?

You walked into this house, scared of me again, before you even told me you were

afraid. I want to know why.

Maybe I was reminded that last night you almost killed a friend of mine. Christ,

not that again.

You act.

Don't get mad if you don't like the answer. I didn't kill him, did I?

Only because I stopped you. And that bothers you?

Most people like to be heroes.

You know what? I don't want to be here with you right now. So why did you come?

Because you asked me to.

Believe me.

I can handle the rejection.

This was a mistake.

Sit down.

Do not tell me what to do.

Oh, let me amend that.

Sit down and shut up.

You arrogant a - Someone's already called me that tonight. Thank you very

Where do you get off talking to me like that?

That's good. One thing's great.

You need me.

So get over your hang -ups about what I might have done to that cop.

Your good buddy Butch is still above ground, so what's the problem?

How can life mean so little to you?

How can death mean so much to you?

I'd really like to go, if you don't mind.

Oh, Al.

This isn't right.

No, it isn't.

I thought you deserved it.

A date or something.

Something normal.

Dumb idea, I know.

I should stick to what I'm good at.

I'd be better off teaching you how to kill.

Not because I've got a chance for murder.

But I've killed thousands, Beth.

So if you want me to pretend I'm not comfortable with death, I can do that

you.

Thousands?

Who are you fighting?

Bastards would kill you as soon as you go through the transition.

Vampire hunters?

That's it.

Humans who have credited their souls to the Omega for a free reign of terror.

The Omega, like the devil?

Worth.

Vampires were created by the Scribe Virgin, her chosen children.

The Omega resented her ability to generate life, despite the speck of

gave to us.

The Lessening Society was his response.

He uses humans because he's incapable of creation, and because they are a

readily available source of aggression.

You have others who fight with you.

My brothers.

Vampires recognized we were on the siege.

The strongest males were chosen, trained to fight, trained to lose against the

lesser. Those warriors were bred for the strongest females of a generation until

a separate subspecies of vampires emerged.

The most powerful were indoctrinated into the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Are you brothers by... Blood?

In a matter of speaking.

When you went after Butch like that, surely he's not a lesser... He tried to

keep me from you.

I will level anyone before I let that happen.

You don't like us, do you?

Humans are threatened by anything different.

They're bullies.

It's them, Beth, not us.

You are not always human right now. And soon you won't be human at all.

Why aren't you eating?

You need food.

You want to be as strong as possible for the change.

Brad Fred right here master We

need red

You have something else to ask me?

Yeah,

um... Is it true that you can't go out in the daytime?

Vampires do not do sunlight.

Second to third degree burns will immediately pop up upon exposure.

Incineration occurs not long after.

The sun is not something you want to screw with.

But I can.

You haven't gone through the change.

Afterwards, you might be able to tolerate it.

Vampire characteristics can be diluted for people who have a human parent.

Then again, Darius's blood is strong in your veins.

How often will I need to feed?

In the beginning, fairly often.

Maybe twice, three times a month.

There's no way of knowing.

After you help me through this first time, how will I be able to find a man

to... I'll take care of finding you someone.

Until then, you will use me.

Hopefully that won't be for long.

So eager for someone out.

No, I just thought...

Fritz said that you were king of the vampires.

I thought that would make you busy.

You've got a line to slip it. Is it true that you're the king? No.

Are you married? Do you have a wife or a mate or two? A woman in your life?

Christ, no.

Then who are you?

They're what, Elmore?

We were never close. It was a bad match.

Who do you go to now?

You really are a reporter, aren't you?

Who?

When was the last time you fed?

But you didn't bite me.

It was after you left.

You don't like that, do you?

Me drinking from another female.

Do you want to rub my nose in it? No.

God, Beth.

I wanted it to be you.

The idea that you would come late for another meal again with your tea.

And take his blood inside of you.

Makes me want to stab something.

But I can't let myself think like that.

Why not?

Because you cannot be mine.

No matter what I said before.

Did you have sex with her when you fed? No.

And let me answer your next question.

I'm not sleeping with anyone but you right now.

Let me feed you.

Please.

Wait, wait, wait.

Do you have any condoms?

No, why?

Ever hear of safe sex?

Vampires are not susceptible to human viruses.

And you're not fertile.

How do you know that?

We both know if you are.

God.

What? What?

To think of you going through the needing.

To be the one you used.

But that will be some other man's duty.

And privilege.

Do you want to see your eyes?

You can be hard to read with those glasses on.

You're blind, aren't you?

Worried that I can't take care of you now?

No.

I'd like to see your eyes.

Beautiful useless Beautiful

Have they

always been like this I Was born visually impaired

My side got worse after my transition

And will probably degenerate even more as I age.

So you can see some things.

Yeah.

I know that I like your hair, doll.

Seriously overrated.

Dutch.

You know.

Or just that.

The sheet on the bed after you left.

I wanted to smell you when I lay down at them.

I've been too greedy with you.

I really haven't taken you properly yet.

Not so sure about that.
