[QUIET SNARL]

MAN: So, what's it going to be?

WOMAN: Just a dime.

I just felt like partying, you know?

What you got?

China white.

Okay.

Six.

All right.

You still owe me for the last time.

Yeah, all right. You're gonna get it, all right?

I know I'm gonna get it, baby. The question is how.

I'm keeping track of the stuff, you know?

I'm too good to you.

Yeah, right.

Just give me a couple of days, okay?

LAMBERT: Hi, it's Nat.

Were we a good boy, Nick

and did we do as the doctor ordered?

Because if you keep up that sun-bed routine, I guarantee

people will be asking you, "Which way to the beach?"

And, of course, I don't have to tell you

to stay away from the blood.

Real food, Nick, you want real food.

But then, I don't have to tell you this.

I know you obey my every command.

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

[SIREN WAILING]

[♪]

NARRATOR: He was brought across in 1228.

Preyed on humans for their blood.

Now, he wants to be mortal again...

To repay society for his sins...

To emerge from his world of darkness...

From his endless forever night.

[GROWLS]

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Practicing for retirement a little, Miller?

Anything, Natalie?

Well, there's not much doubt he was strangled.

I'd place the T.O.D. at between 11 and 11:40.

You bagged the glove?

Yeah, what was left of it. Definitely a surgical glove.

Looks like we have a repeater.

[SIREN WAILS]

Is that who I think it is?

I think it's who you think it is.

It's his day off.

He's enthusiastic?

He's staining his nose brown.

Yeah.

All right, fill me in.

I got here as fast as I could.

Schanke, what are you doing here?

It's your day off, isn't it?

Gee, you know, I wasn't aware that "day off"

meant complete abandonment

of our oath to serve and protect.

Or that it meant that I stopped being a cop,

or turn off my police radio

as if for 24 hours I can forget

exactly who I am or what I've dedicated my whole life to.

Jays at the Dome Saturday, section 28, okay?

And next time, let me know a little bit earlier.

I'll spring for some box seats, okay?

Right, thanks.

Nice speech.

Think the captain heard you?

I thought we'd agreed that we were gonna let me look good

for a change, you know?

New precinct, fresh start.

How's my showing up on my day off gonna look good

if everyone's doing it?

Are these supposed to be elephant or reindeer?

SCHANKE: Har-dee-har.

Hey, aren't you guys supposed to have the day off?

See, "you guys," plural.

I should have stayed in bed.

I-- We just came by to see what was happening.

Yeah? Well, you certainly can pick 'em.

You, uh, remember a couple of weeks ago,

John Doe under the pier?

Strangled, right? No prints.

SCHANKE: Same deal here?

Found a piece of surgical glove.

COHEN: We got a few unsolved on the books just like this,

last couple of years.

Victim's always low-end.

Petty street sheets, dealers.

Someone doing their civic duty.

Who knows?

[SIGHS]

COHEN: We got guests coming.

SCHANKE: Great, IA.

Rogers and Wilkinson. This must be my night.

And my cue to get out of here.

Internal Affairs?

That means they think--

They think a cop did it.

SCHANKE: Oh, man.

That is a prescription for a case of the willies.

I mean, it could be a guy we know

or even a lady we know.

Captain would make anyone think twice before opening a door.

On the other hand,

maybe opening a door for her

wouldn't be such a bad idea.

[SCHANKE'S VOICE FADES OUT]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[PANTING]

Where are you?

Why have you left me like this?

LACROIX [IN FRENCH]:

I'm looking...

but I can't see you.

COHEN: Detective Knight.

Are you all right, or are you just

communing with the cosmos?

No, I, uh...

Excuse me. I was just thinking.

About the case. He was thinking about the case.

You see, when you get to know us, captain,

you'll understand that we eat, sleep and breathe this stuff.

Frankly, I'd prefer you kept your bodily functions

out of this.

And anyway, Schanke, excessive overtime

doesn't impress me.

Solved cases do.

Right, of course.

What do those guys from IA say, captain?

Nothing I want to repeat just now.

Oh, and Schanke,

nice deer.

No, no, no, no, no, no. They're moose.

I think they're moose. At least, that's what the package said.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey.

Nicholas.

[LAUGHS]

It's been weeks.

It's been months, actually.

Months, yet.

Then I'm even more upset with you.

That's what you get for living in mortal time.

Ooh-la-la! Look, it's engraved.

"To Nick: A man who has all the time

in the world. From Natalie." How sweet.

What if I was to tell you that I miss you?

I wouldn't believe you.

No, Nicholas.

You're more mortal now than ever.

I can see it in your eyes

and I barely felt you when you came in.

So you're not here to see me.

Why are you here?

Someone has been looking for me.

One of us.

It's faint, but I feel it.

It's hanging back, waiting.

I thought maybe--

Yes, I felt something too.

Do you know who it is?

No.

Not this time. I don't know why.

Maybe it's another vampire with a conscience,

and he's feeling terribly guilty

about all the people that he's killed,

and so now he's looking for a mentor--

Don't mock me.

Somebody has to.

Ecoute.

Nicholas, these lives that we make for ourselves

are playthings.

Are they? Of course.

Mortals age and we outgrow them.

Eventually we all must move on.

And what if we take these lives seriously?

Then we get hurt, Nicholas.

You know that.

We get hurt.

LACROIX [IN FRENCH]:

Wake up to what you are.

You've been asleep far too long.

[PHONE RINGING]

KNIGHT [ON MACHINE]: This is Nick Knight.

I'm not in or I'm asleep.

Leave a message, don't take it personally.

SCHANKE: Wakey, wakey, wakey, Nicky boy.

Rise and shine. You're missing out on all the action.

KNIGHT: Where are you, Schanke?

Where do you think I am? I came in early to see

if I could be of any assistance to my fellow officers.

And I also got some scoop on the IA investigation.

Huh?

Hello? Were you sleepwalking last night? The strangling.

Listen to this. Rumor has it it's a guy in our precinct.

This morning, a jogger found the detachable hood

off a P.D. rain shell near the scene.

Oh, right, Schank. If I was a killer cop,

that's exactly what I'd do. Wear department issue

gear to my murders. Maybe drive away

with the siren on, in case someone missed me.

Are you finished? 'Cause I got more. It just so happens

that all the cases that they're tying this guy into

occurred within spitting distance

of the 96th.

Yeah, well, it's more, but not much more.

On the other hand, IA has never been known

for its creative thinking.

When are you coming in?

Soon. I've got a couple of errands to run, first.

You sound kind of, uh-- Kind of funny.

Kind of spacey.

Do I?

No, I just misplaced my watch, that's all.

You know what it is? It's old age setting in, buddy.

It happens to the best of us.

Yeah. Well, I'll see you in a little while, okay?

Bye-bye.

[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]

[WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, you're doing the right thing.

Keep busy? I'm cold.

Good. All right, here.

Okay. Just, just--

Be careful.

Excellent. There you go, doll.

Okay? Yeah.

Nice doing business with you.

Yeah, see you around. Stay warm if you can.

Yeah, I'll try.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

[BRAKES SQUEAL]

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Thanks. Do you like cappuccino?

Because I was just down at Buckstars

and I ordered their cinnamon chocolate.

Unbelievable. And, uh,

well, they gave me two by mistake, so...

voilà.

Enjoy.

Uh, detective.

Yes?

Is it decaf?

No, is that a problem? Because I can just, you know,

run back and get you--

That won't be necessary.

Okay.

Hey, Schanke, you want to wash my car too?

Walk the dogs, man?

How about mowing my lawn? Ha-ha. Funny.

Lipinski, go find Rogers and Wilkinson.

We just got an anonymous tip.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

[HEART BEATING]

Freeze! Police, freeze!

It's Knight.

Perp's gotta to be close by.

I got 'em. Check that way.

Yeah, okay. Let's go!

It's too late. She's already gone.

[SIREN APPROACHING]

Detective Knight,

throw your gun on the ground and place your hands

on your head. What?

Do it!

I didn't see anything.

What the hell's going on?

You lose a watch, detective?

[LACROIX LAUGHING]

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.

You have a right to counsel.

If you cannot afford a lawyer...

[LAUGHTER GROWS LOUDER]

[CHUCKLES]

Nicholas.

MAN: Okay, the nights

of March 5th and 17th.

Where were you?

He's already answered that.

At home.

And no one can corroborate this?

No, I live alone.

But you weren't at home

the entire night of the 17th, were you?

You were at the scene of a murder.

I went over to find out what happened.

Yet you didn't drive your car.

You were on foot when you arrived.

Yeah, I ran over. I live nearby.

How did you know that the murder had happened?

KNIGHT: I could hear it.

ROGERS: You must have great hearing.

This isn't happening.

I'm telling you, this isn't happening.

Hard to believe.

Try impossible.

I rode a lot of miles with that guy in there

and I'm telling you, this is a terrible mistake.

Judge hasn't set bail yet, so--

Don't hold your breath.

Yeah.

Well, in any case

I'll be back tomorrow morning.

We'll start working on a defense.

Try and get some rest.

LAMBERT: Nick.

I hope this isn't my, uh, pre-execution examination, Nat.

Would you settle for a DNA test?

DNA?

You got a sample off the last victim?

Yep, the girl had fingernails.

I managed to get just enough skin to do the test.

[SIGHS] I know, I know.

I can't send a sample of your tissue to the lab

because there'd be a team of medical researchers

down here so fast it would make your head spin.

So we can't do it.

No... But we can pretend to,

can't we?

The real question is,

who is trying to set you up?

Another cop?

Another vampire.

For days, I've felt someone watching me...

waiting for something.

That's the only way the watch could've been stolen

from my place.

Yeah, but why would another vampire want to--?

I don't know.

Maybe, uh...

lifestyle prejudice.

Do you feel her blood surge in your veins, Nicholas?

It is an experience unsurpassed by any other.

Revel in your newfound power,

in the gift I've given you.

Immortality. That's what all men want, isn't it?

Be glad I made you

what you are.

[IN FRENCH]

[CHUCKLES]

Then I, too, am your slave.

For I am bound

to you now.

Promised to you as your eternal teacher,

that I may let you know

all there is to know about what you are.

Leave your mortal life behind, Nicholas.

You can never go back there now.

Soon...

you will not want to.

It's as if someone wants me to move on, Nat.

Wants to force me out of this life...

my job...

my friends.

Look, I know if I don't

regain mortality, I'm gonna have to leave eventually.

But I'm not ready, not now.

I'm not ready to give it up.

You won't have to.

Not if I have anything to do with it.

[SHUTTERS WHIRRING] [MAN CHUCKLING]

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Having fun?

Yeah.

[DROPS REMOTE]

If you don't mind.

Are you in charge of the search here,

or should I bring my daughter's class for a tour,

while we're at it?

I mean, come on! Jeez.

This is a world-class collection of artifacts,

meticulously displayed.

You're not gonna believe this.

He's got a sun bed up there.

He's got a sun bed?

I thought he was allergic to the sun or something.

Oh, he is. I'm-- I'm sure there's

a logical explanation for this, you know?

Well--

Knight does have his, uh...

eccentric side.

But that still doesn't make him--

Hey, uh, does anyone know why this guy

would have blood in his refrigerator?

Blood? Yeah, it's blood.

Blood?

Hi, I thought I wasn't

gonna see you until tonight.

Yeah, well, I didn't want to lose another day

before sending in the samples for the DNA workup.

How's he doing?

Oh, anxious to get out.

Did you get the other samples for the double blind?

Yeah. Give me Nick's,

and I'll package them up and get them right out.

Three, right?

You know, Grace,

I think we should take one more, just to be sure.

After what happened last month, I would hate to risk

the delay that a contaminated sample would cause.

Well, if you think so.

Perfect timing. Jeff?

Jeff.

Jeff... Huh?

What time is it?

It's about 4:18.

We've found that the ambush approach

works best in these cases.

It's just gonna sting a little bit.

You're taking a sample?

Uh-huh? What for?

Nick's DNA test.

Nick's DNA test?

Ow!

There we go. It is done, it is over,

and you were very stoic.

Your contribution to justice will be remembered.

Thanks.

That's okay, then.

Here.

Oh, no, no.

No, I'll do it.

Uh, why don't you go and check on the--

The Johansen p.c. boost.

Sure?

Yep.

[♪]

[SIGHS]

They tell me you're not eating.

Nah, jail doesn't do much for my appetite, Schank.

No, but they say it's been a few days

and that you're barely touching a thing.

Natalie smuggles some stuff in now and then.

Great.

You know, if you want, I could, uh--

I could zap in some souvlakia for you.

No thanks, Schank.

Did you know that there was blood

in your refrigerator?

I told the guys that there was

a perfectly good explanation for it.

And I've been trying, you know, to come up with one--

Cow's blood.

I use it as a paint thickener.

Old European technique. Use it to thicken my oils.

[LAUGHS]

Well, there it is.

I knew there had to be an explanation for it.

It's just--

Well, I didn't doubt you or anything

but, you know, it was blood, you know.

Paint thickener, well, there it is.

You okay?

LACROIX [IN FRENCH]:

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

[SIGHS]

Well...

I guess I got to run, um...

I got double the workload now, without you.

This is gonna blow over, you know that.

You know, the DNA test is gonna come in

any day now and, boom, you're out of here.

It's just that, well, for me...

Well, it can't come too soon, huh?

So hang in there, partner.

Thanks.

SCHANKE: It's paint thickener.

MAN: You serious?

SCHANKE: Yeah, paint thickener. Makes sense to me.

[♪]

Nicholas.

You didn't know it was me?

How did you get in here?

Mon cher, have you forgotten everything

about being a vampire?

Someone might have seen you.

They didn't.

Or at least, they won't remember that they did.

What do you want?

I have come to escort you back to your senses.

I want you to leave with me.

Who sent you?

The community sent me.

Someone is forcing me out.

I don't know who it is, Nicholas, but it's done.

You cannot stay here.

You and this case are jeopardizing all of us.

They've been through your apartment,

they're digging into your past.

This is far too dangerous to continue.

I swear, Janette, if you know anything

about who's doing this--

You don't think this hurts me too?

Mon cher Nicholas, how many years might it be

before we see each other again?

How many decades?

I was almost beginning to grow fond of this morality.

Of this particular incarnation as a vampire cop.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hide, go on.

Nick?

What is it?

The DA's gonna move you tomorrow morning

to a maximum-security lockup.

I thought we agreed to wait for the DNA results.

They came in an hour ago.

SCHANKE: Nick.

Your test was a positive match.

[♪]

[KNIGHT GASPING, FLESH SINGEING]

Cover my head.

You've gotta keep my head covered.

There's no one to see you, come on.

Are you sure Dr. Lambert hasn't tried to contact me?

All right.

[GASPING]

[SIZZLING]

[GROWLING]

LAMBERT: What? Oh, my God.

When?

What is it?

Oh, my God, this is all my fault.

Yes. Yeah, uh, thank you for telling me.

What's happened?

Everything.

Oh, my God.

Grace. Grace, what's his last name?

What's Jeff's last name?

Morris.

Morris. M-O-R-R-I-S.

Damn it. Why isn't it here?

He quit three days ago.

He'd be, uh, listed under former employees.

That's right, all the old haunts.

I want them all covered.

SCHANKE: I'm telling you the truth.

He hasn't contacted me.

I have no idea where he is.

Concealing a suspected felon

is serious business, detective.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you of that,

or what's at stake for you if you forget it.

[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]

[♪]

Time to come out, whoever you are.

Schank, I gotta talk to you. It's urgent.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay. I made a terrible mistake.

Look, is there somewhere we can talk?

Yeah, yeah, over here.

You what?

I had to. It seemed like the only way.

I mean, if the lab got hold

of a real tissue sample of Nick's, well,

that could be the end of his career.

Wow!

Wow.

I knew his sun allergy was serious,

but I didn't know it was that serious.

What did you call it again? Hemalollatolla--

Papsia. Papsia.

I mean, that's why he has the sun bed.

UV treatments for vitamin D deficiency.

His skin never tans.

Right, right.

And you're sure this is the guy?

Not only am I positive about the test,

it makes perfect sense.

All the victims were drug dealers, right?

Right. Well, Jeff's brother OD'd.

He died about a year ago. I did the autopsy.

You? Yeah.

So our man was here when his brother came in.

That must've been enough to send him over the edge.

What about the watch?

Well, Nick thinks it was planted.

I mean, why he picked Nick--

Will you help? Oh, no, no, no.

Man, man, if I get caught.

I just gotta stay clear of this.

I cannot do this, Natalie.

His address is here.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what's going on.

Okay.

ROGERS: Why don't you talk to them, captain?

I didn't kill anyone, Schank.

I know. It was him, right? The guy that just got away?

It was?

You must've known he was the one that Natalie

switched your sample with. Isn't that why you're here?

COHEN [OVER MEGAPHONE]: Knight! Schanke!

This is Captain Cohen.

Gentlemen, it's time to go home!

Great, this is getting better by the minute.

Oh, please. Don't go strange on me.

COHEN [OVER MEGAPHONE]: Knight! Schanke!

Let's go. Okay.

Morris must have known a way out. Come on, let's go!

KNIGHT: Looks clear.

Where did he go?

Let's try the old distillery.

No, I'll take care of him.

You get out of here. It's you they want, not me.

Now I've got you.

Seal off the area.

I want a building- to-building search.

Move!

MAN [OVER RADIO] 2209 and 3710...

Nicholas.

I knew you still had it in you.

You must have had some idea it was me.

[ROARING]

[HOWLING IN PAIN]

You didn't actually believe that you'd killed me, did you?

I'm much too old and powerful for that.

[IN FRENCH]

[CHUCKLES]

Lacroix, it was you all along.

With a little help from my new friend.

He was perfectly convenient.

All I had to do was to plant your watch.

And lead you to him.

Your sham of a mortal life is ruined, Nicholas.

Like the unicorn.

It is the stuff of fiction.

[SHATTERS]

We're in position at south gate of old distillery.

Nothing to report here.

Okay, Jeff.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

MAN [OVER RADIO]: 28-16, copy. Still no exit, captain.

COHEN [OVER RADIO]: 28-16, we're on site

proceeding from the north gate to your position.

It's time to move on.

To reinvent yourself.

With you.

I've decided to take you back.

To give you a second chance.

The only second chance I want is the one I've given myself.

The only anything you get is what I give you.

I made you.

What you made was a mistake.

[GROWLING]

[PANTING]

SCHANKE: I know you're in here, Jeff. I'm coming after you.

Just here to help you, Jeff, that's all.

I know things have been rough for you,

Yes, captain.

Come on, buddy.

This is no way to spend a Friday night.

We should be out watching a ball game.

[ROARING]

SCHANKE: Jeff!

Look, I know what you been through.

But what you're doing

isn't gonna bring your brother back from the dead.

That just doesn't happen in real life.

JEFF: I was only trying to help.

There were too many of them.

Every night more.

Old men...

young girls, boys.

They looked so helpless lying there.

SCHANKE: I know. I've seen them too.

[SNARLING AND HOWLING]

JEFF: In bags, bags!

[SOBBING]

Like my brother.

I saw my brother in a body bag.

[GROWLING]

[SNARLING AND HISSING]

SCHANKE: Jeff, come on, buddy.

I had to kill them.

I had to stop it!

I couldn't take it any more.

I don't want this to end ugly,

and neither do you.

There's a lot of crap in this world,

but that's what we have to face, you and me.

We have to, that's all the choice we've got.

No, it's not.

Jeff,

you're not gonna find any answers that way.

Come on, buddy.

[HISSING]

[HOWLING]

[ROARING]

Put the gun down, we'll talk all this out.

Nothing's gonna happen to you.

Okay, drop it, Morris.

Now, you did what you had to do.

Your brother knows that.

It's done, pal.

Just put down the gun...

and we'll work this out.

I was only trying to help.

I know.

[GUN COCKS]

Keep it right there.

Captain, my man here is just about all used up.

I'll take him outside, if that's okay.

[SOBBING]

Come here.

Nice work.

Easy now, Jeff. Everything's gonna be all right.

We're coming out.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

By the way, Schanke.

Yeah?

Where's your partner?

Nick?

Jeez, I don't know.

I haven't seen him all night.

LACROIX: Where's the lasting value, Nicholas?

Blink and they'll all be ghosts.

Blink and they'll all be gone.

[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]

And you didn't suspect Morris until the double blind?

LAMBERT: Right, the DNA test, right.

I mean, I-I-I-I just thought he was, uh--

Nervous?

Nervous. Nervous.

COHEN: "Just thought he was nervous"?

And then you accidentally mislabeled the samples?

Look, I...

I don't know how it happened.

And this doesn't strike you as a huge coincidence?

Maybe Morris did it?

Switched the samples?

Yes.

Of course.

Why didn't we think of that?

You know, captain, you are really--

Can it, Schanke.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter.

He's confessed and pleaded.

I just don't like to be kept in the dark

because a cop wants to do a little grandstanding.

Grandstanding?

Uh, captain, I really think--

And as for you, Knight, I think you're very lucky...

to have such good friends.

Appreciate them, Knight.

It's what makes life worth living.

My thoughts exactly.

That's very good, Nicholas.

Is it?

That can mean only one thing.
