Previously on Let the Right One In...

I don't even know how to thank you.

For everything. You and Eleanor made this night just...

perfect.

Whenever you're ready, I'm right here.

It's a strange thing to suddenly

find yourself in hell.

I learned learn two things pretty fast.

One, you come up with an exit strategy.

And the second? - You find the people

who will go into the darkness with you.

What happened today with Daisy

means I'm on the right track. But I can't keep

fooling around with animal studies.

I need you to make me a human specimen

to experiment on.

Ellie could be dead by tomorrow.

Unless she gets a proper meal.

What is it?

Maybe it's still good.

I'm sorry.

I will chase down

every one of these leads.

I will find us answers, and I swear to God,

I will never stop until we get our daughter back.

Okay. - Okay?

Okay.

I've heard...

thousands of confessions in my life.

Never one like that. It's, uh...

It's quite a story.

You don't believe me?

Oh, it'd be a lot easier if I didn't.

And I don't know about you, but...

I could use a drink.

slow, suspenseful music

Why are you here?

You cannot receive God's grace.

I know that.

His forgiveness is not available to you

as long as you plan to keep killing.

I'll stop killing once my daughter's cured.

That's not how God works.

Then fuck God.

That was him, not me.

You think this is funny?

No, I do not.

Elizabeth spent her life treating the sick

and praising His name.

Eleanor was a kid,

an innocent child.

What did they ever do to deserve this?

I am so very sorry about your wife.

I mean, the way you described her--

that's love, that's God.

And I get that you're angry.

No shit. -

But it's not God you're angry at. It's your wife.

What did you just say?

She trapped you.

Watch your fucking mouth.

Or what?

I fear God's wrath, not yours.

Ten years ago, you promised her

you'd never stop until your daughter was cured.

And for ten years, you have been bound to that promise,

and as far as I can tell, it's brought you, your daughter

and everyone who crosses your path nothing but pain.

Why are you saying this to me?

Because I'm trying to save your soul.

Your wife is gone, your old life is gone.

I get you want your daughter cured.

But maybe God has other plans.

slow, haunting music

He's coming to.

slow, ominous music

Hmm. Oh, yeah, he's flying.

Okay, what now?

Now we go in.

This virus moves incredibly fast,

so we have to keep pace.

I'm gonna try and see if I can figure out

exactly where it originates in the brain

and how it migrates.

You should probably go. This is gonna be pretty intense.

No, I'm... I want to see this.

Where did you learn to do this?

This?

I've never done anything like this before.

gentle music

Eleanor?

What are you doing? Is everything okay?

Sorry. Um...

I was just looking at...

What's wrong?

Isaiah snuck you in here, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, you're welcome to be here anytime,

as long as you ask me first.

But your dad's gonna be worried if he sees that you're gone.

He went out.

Just for a walk. [chuckles]

He's used to being up late for work, so...

It's really cool that you made this for Isaiah.

Well, I am glad

somebody appreciates it.

slow, contemplative music

Mm. I was four months pregnant there.

Can you tell?

Going through the academy with morning sickness is no joke.

Ugh. I threw up right after we did the obstacle course.

I was so embarrassed.

But then, this guy threw up.

And I was like, "What's his excuse?"

Women are tougher than men.

It's just how it is.

Do you like being a cop?

Yeah, when I... when I feel like I'm helping people.

Yeah, but isn't it dangerous?

Sometimes.

But I can handle myself.

How'd you learn how to do that?

Years of practice.

In fact,

I am teaching a self-defense course

tomorrow night at my gym.

Would you maybe want to come along?

As long as your dad says okay.

It starts at 8:00, so you'll be out a little late.

That's totally fine.

Ellie?

Why don't you head inside so me and your dad can talk?

It appears our kids decided to stage a secret sleepover.

A sleepover?

I'll talk to Isaiah,

but for what it's worth, I think it's harmless.

They just weren't ready for their big night to end.

Hmm.

Eleanor said you went for a walk.

I... went to church.

Last night, or I guess tonight,

some... memories came up.

I-I'm sorry I acted strange after we--

It's okay. I understand.

Uh, uh, maybe

I could make it up to you

with dinner tomorrow night?

What-what our kids have is really special,

and I don't want to get in the way of that.

Then let's agree.

No matter what, they come first.

The thing is, I invited Eleanor

to a class that I'm teaching tomorrow night.

With your permission, of course.

What time is your class?

Eight o'clock.

Then dinner at 5:00.

slow, ominous music

It's okay.

You did really good.

W-Where am I?

This is my house.

I mean... it's my sister's lab,

but, um, we live here.

I, uh--

I know. Pretty freaky, right?

And sorry about the brace.

It's for your safety. You're, um--

Chris.

What?

My name is Chris.

Oh, okay. Um...

I was just gonna say that you need to stay in the brace

until my sister is finished.

C-C-Can I have some...

w-water?

No, you don't drink water anymore.

slow, eerie music

Water? - Hmm?

Oh, thanks.

What's that?

A DNA sequencer.

How's it work?

I don't know.

My mentor at Stanford won a Nobel,

and he just called these things "science machines."

But... -

...it can sequence a genome, something that used

to take us years to do, in just a few hours.

And that tells you... what?

I like watching you work.

I'm establishing a baseline, and then I'm going

to apply the nucleic acid binder I've been working on.

The thing that made Daisy have her period.

It's possible that even if the treatment can reset normal aging

in a human, it might--

Fuck something else up?

Better him than Peter, right?

slow, ominous music

Hey.

Ben is waiting for me downstairs, so I got to run,

but we will have a conversation about last night.

Okay.

You can't sneak Eleanor in here without me knowing.

I know. - You know, a boy your age,

having a sleepover with a girl.

I shouldn't have done it, and I'm probably grounded.

I totally understand.

Then why are you smiling?

You're going on a date with Mr. Mark.

Water's in the back.

You-you sure you got enough?

Road trip, baby. Got to have provisions.

You know we're only going to Long Island, right?

Exactly. Depending on traffic,

could be anywhere from 45 minutes to six hours.

You do something to your hair?

Shut up and drive.

slow, gentle music

You going somewhere?

Hi.

Is that what you're wearing?

What's wrong with it?

I mean, it's not very fancy.

I don't like fancy.

Well, maybe she does.

You were spying on us last night.

Come here.

So, okay, yes,

I'm taking Isaiah's mom, Ms. Cole--

Naomi.

Naomi, yes,

out for a little dinner tonight before your thing.

Like we talked about,

she could have information that could help us.

Is that why you're going on a date with her?

I don't know if I could call it a date. I--

You're just, like, using her for information?

No. No.

I thought you liked her.

I do. I...

I do.

Dad, it's okay.

What?

For you to be happy.

Honey, I'm not trying to replace Mom.

I know,

but Mom would want you to be happy, too.

slow, suspenseful music

Hey.

Hey. You're doing a lot on work on him, huh?

Well, like I said, I have to move fast.

Can we talk in your room?

Is it okay to leave him alone?

It's just gonna take a minute.

I don't want you spending any more time with--

Chris. That's his name.

That's what I'm talking about.

You're getting way too close.

Too close for what?

Claire, you need to come upstairs.

Give me a minute. - Now.

Peter, I'm serious.

Do not talk to him again.

You're wearing makeup?

No. Will you give it a rest already?

I'm telling you, something's different about you.

You're smiling.

That's what it is. - Will you shut up?

Good afternoon, ma'am. We are detectives

with the NYPD. Do you mind if we come in?

What's this about?

To be clear, you are not the subject of an investigation.

We're just, um... trying to get a little information.

What sort of information?

We're concerned about a new street drug

that's been connected to a series of murders.

Murders?

Yes, ma'am. We work homicide.

The lab analysis has concluded

that Mitigan, the painkiller your father's company is--

I-I know what it is.

Well, it's a big part of this new cocktail.

I don't understand. AKL's been bankrupt for years.

It's liquidated. - I'm aware.

And my father's dead, so... - The thing is,

one of the most recent victims, who we suspect was a dealer,

was a member of a special ops unit stationed in Afghanistan

under the command of an individual named Matthew Dean.

Turns out,

this Matthew Dean ran the security detail at AKL,

and worked as your father's personal bodyguard for years.

Okay, so, let me get this straight.

You came all the way out here to talk about some ex-army buddy

of an ex-employee of my deceased father?

We thought you might have access to old employment records.

My father and I were estranged.

You live in his house.

Well, this is my house, actually.

He left it to you? - That's right.

Even though you're estranged?

Why exactly are you here?

Like we said,

your father's painkiller has been linked to several murders.

My father's painkiller destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives.

And no one gave a shit about it for years.

Where the hell were you then?

Why weren't you arresting Arthur Logan back then?

Maybe because his victims didn't look like this.

slow, eerie music

Based on your partner's reaction, I can only guess

how many protocols you just violated showing me that.

That's all you have to say?

I don't know what to tell you, Detective.

Um, probably some lab in Eastern Europe pirated the formula

of my dad's drug and who knows what

they're cutting it with these days?

So, if you have any other questions,

you can contact my family's attorney.

We're so fucked.

H-Help me!

H-Help me!

slow, ominous music

Oh. Oh.

Hey. You got to stop doing that.

It-it hur...

hur-hur-hurts.

I know, it's...

You just have to, like, ignore it.

I... c-can't.

It... it-it-it-- - Hey. Hey. Look.

It's your teeth. Here.

Okay? It's all shifting around.

It fucking kills, I know.

But it goes away.

You're lucky, you know?

W-What?

When this happened to me, no one had a clue what it was.

It was just, like...

It was really scary.

L-L-Look.

You g-g-got to let me go.

Go?

Please, man.

She's-she's really fucking me up.

No. -

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey.

Lay down.

Okay?

Claire's brilliant.

They're just... just really big experiments, that's all.

P-P-Please. I... I got to go.

Don't talk, okay?

I realized I should have asked whether or not you like burgers.

That's pretty much all they do.

Well, diff-different... different kinds of burgers?

Not really.

Thank you.

The only way

I can get through the day...

You okay?

I told you, burgers are fine. - Oh.

This is not just any burger.

The trick is to eat it over the fries

so you catch all the juice.

I get up in the morning... - Mmm.

You're gonna tell me how to drink my beer, too?

Sorry. [chuckles]

Laughing and talking...

Mm-hmm.

Right? - Mm.

What is this place? -

This place kept me alive for years.

My buddy Zeke and I...

The-the guy you work for now? - Mm-hmm.

We used to work the line at this, uh, French, uh, joint,

just uptown.

All the chefs in those days met up here.

For burgers? - Yeah. Hell yeah.

It's-it's...

what it's all about, you know?

It's just getting it right.

Five ingredients or 50, it doesn't matter.

I mean, you just have to know what you can do honestly.

That's the whole trick.

What?

I... I was just thinking.

It must be nice to have a job

where you're rewarded for getting things right.

Hmm.

Hard day at work?

Yeah, but...

You want to talk about something else?

Like what?

Like how come you're not singing anymore.

Ah.

What is it they say in Corinthians? Um...

There comes a time

to put away childish things?

There is nothing childish about the way you sing.

Oh. [chuckles]

I hope that didn't sound so--

Aggressively flirtatious?

I'm so bad at this.

What?

Intimacy. Uh...

Case in point, see, I used the word "intimacy."

I just quoted the Bible,

so, I'm not exactly killing it here.

Ah. I haven't been on a date in a long time.

Is-is that what this is?

Oh, man.

I haven't been happy in a long time.

Neither have I.

I was happy last night.

So was I.

I'm sorry if I came in here with a weird energy.

Oh, that's okay.

It's just...

not to go into detail, but...

This thing at work. I...

I'm pretty sure I'm about to get suspended.

Really? - Yeah. I, uh...

I showed up unannounced at this woman's mansion in Long Island.

And-and you know what? You should see this place.

Like, I knew

these pharma assholes made money,

but goddamn.

This-this woman, is she a drug manufacturer?

No, her father was.

And honestly,

I probably went too far.

But Christ's sake, people are dying.

And this woman is acting like she's the victim.

Fucking rich people, right?

Thanks for letting me unload.

They're late.

That means the date's going well, right?

Hey. What if your dad

and my mom got married?

Well, like, not tonight, but...

one day?

Would that make us brother and sister?

It'd make us a family.

They're pulling up in their Uber now.

I'm gonna meet your mom downstairs,

so we're not late for her class.

I'll see what I can find out.

Don't be obvious.

Hey, you forgot your jacket.

Hi there.

Forty-two.

Is that you?

Is your mother home?

What for?

I work with the building.

I'm just, uh, checking on a leak.

Your neighbor upstairs left the water running, so...

No. - Are you sure?

Sometimes it's just a dark spot up there.

Is she home?

She's a cop.

That's not what I asked.

You going out?

I think you might have left your door unlocked.

My friend forgot her jacket.

You better go bring it to her.

It's cold out there.

Mr. Mark. - Hey, buddy.

I brought your dinner. - Yeah. I...

You okay?

What's...?

I, uh... - What's wrong?

Did you see him go in?

No.

Said he was with the building?

Yeah. Something about a leak.

suspenseful music

Stay here.

Well, there's no one here now.

Um, keep the door locked when you're home alone.

Okay.

Uh, you need anything,

I'll be right next door.

Okay. Thanks, Mr. Mark. - Of course.

Enjoy your burger. - Thank you.

You want to see something incredible?

Well, you know I'm not a nerd like you, right?

Come here.

So, I'm looking for polymorphisms,

which are little random glitches in the sequence of the genome.

And with a novel virus, you expect to find tons of them,

but your sequencing and his

are virtually identical.

So we're, like, the same?

No. You're missing the point.

It's highly abnormal.

It means this strain has been around for a really long time.

It's almost like the thing that bit you

was hundreds of years old.

What?

I'm just worried about Chris.

Peter.

I think he's, like, really hurt.

Of course he's...

We made him 'cause there are things I have to do

which we can't do to you.

And those things are going to hurt.

To find the cure? - Exactly.

Okay, but when you figure it out, will you cure Chris, too?

Do I have to remind you?

You were going to eat him before?

No, you don't understand. He's--

What, your friend or something?

What then?

He's mine, Claire.

I made him.

And I can't describe it any better than that,

but he's mine now. - You're scaring me a little.

No, I want... I want to feed him, like, a real meal.

Peter, no. - No, he's gonna starve to death.

No, he's not.

Claire, you don't understand what--

He's not gonna starve to death, because...

he's not gonna make it that far.

What?

I am not a brain surgeon.

The things I'm doing are irreversible.

I couldn't make him better even if I wanted to.

The only thing that's left to do now is the--

What? - The postmortem.

I'm sorry. I thought you understood.

No. I guess I didn't understand.

But I do now.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I get it.

I do.

slow, contemplative music

Can I help you?

This man's asking about Peter.

Our family's made it clear.

We'd like our privacy as we grieve.

So, I look pretty helpless, right?

He's heavier and stronger than me, and he's choking me,

which means I've got about eight seconds before I black out.

So here's what I'd do.

And then you finish him. You got it?

So everybody pair off. Let's give it a try.

Come here.

Mm-hmm.

So while they're busy, I will show you some of the basics.

Let's get the hair out of the way.

Okay. Can I grab your wrist?

Okay.

So, if someone's going to attack a woman or a child,

this is probably how it starts.

Because they don't think we're a threat.

So if you want to get out of it, you have to be strategic.

Widen your stance.

Mm-hmm. And where is the opening in my grip?

Good.

So I want you to turn the thin, bony part of your wrist

till it lines up with that.

Very nice. You know what?

Jimmy? I am going to show you the advanced version.

Mm-hmm.

You see what I did?

You want to try it?

Twist and elbow.

Okay, come here.

So here's the thing.

If anyone ever comes after you,

you show them no mercy.

You understand?

You get them in their weak spots,

the eyes, the balls.

There is no shame in doing whatever it takes to survive.

Okay?

Now, I can tell that you are stronger

than people think you are.

So this time...

I want you

to hit him in his face

as hard as you can.

Okay?

slow, suspenseful music

Did you know you could do that?

Um... not really.

Ellie? Honey.

You're not gonna believe this.

I figured it out.

Figured what out?

It. [chuckles softly]

It. Who she is.

What are you talking about?

The woman in charge.

What?

Of the drug we've been chasing.

You serious? - Her name is Claire Logan.

She's a scientist, and listen to this.

Her brother supposedly died ten years ago.

Oh, my God! - I know. This is it, honey.

How did you figure this out?

I didn't. It was Naomi. - What?

Yeah. She-she went out there to investigate this woman.

Wait. She told you?

Not in so many words,

but I-I... I got enough to put two and two together.

I thought you said you liked her.

I do like her, but that's not important.

That's not important?

Ellie, this is...

this is the closest we've ever been.

I'm talking about an actual cure.

They're the whole reason I want to be cured.

What?

Because once I'm cured, we could be a family.

After you're cured,

we can never see them again.

What are you talking about?

She's a homicide detective.

You can't forget reality just because you met a boy you like.

I love him. - You only think you do.

And he loves me.

He doesn't know you.

Yes. He does.

dramatic music

What did you just say?

He accepts me for what I am.

When did you tell him?

I told him weeks ago.

Oh, my God.

And he'll never tell.

What were you thinking?

I had to be honest. - Honest?!

You-you... you can be honest with him, but not me?

And now he has to lie to his own mother

so that you can be honest?

I think Naomi would understand. - Are you insane?!

Do you know how many people I've killed to bring you dinner?

She would understand?! - She cares about us.

Ellie! - She cares about me!

She's not your fucking mother!

Your mother died so you could live!

Shit.

slow, suspenseful music

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

My sister is up there. We need to be quiet.

Get as far as you can before the sun comes up.

Then you need to find someplace really dark to hide.

That is very important. No sunlight.

Peter, you can't do this. You know that.

Think about it.

No, you... you need to stay out of this, Claire!

This isn't about you!

There's only one way out of this, Peter, okay?

You need to take him... Chris

back down into the lab, okay?

No, y... No!

Look,

you're not thinking straight, you're not seeing--

Stop telling me how I feel!

Peter-- - No, stop treating me like

I'm some problem that you're supposed to fix.

That's not...

There's no way he makes it out there.

You know that.

It's too dangerous.

Dangerous?

You were gonna kill him.

For us... Peter.

It's too dangerous... for us.

Peter?

haunting music

haunting music

Ellie, honey, um...

I'm so sorry for what I said.

I would give anything to take it back.

soft, gentle music

One day, after you're cured,

maybe you'll have a child,

and... [laughs softly]

you'll experience a joy

beyond all understanding.

And then you'll understand.

You make me happier and prouder

than you'll ever know.

And there's nothing

I would not do for you.

Now and always.

Are you there?

I heard your dad go out.

Hey.

Uh, I can't hang out tonight.

Oh. Okay.

So, tell me what your dad said about the date.

I've never seen my mom so happy.

You okay?

I'm g-g-gonna

tear you apart!
