Hey, Nancy, hurry up in there.

What the hell...?

[SHOWER STOPS, CURTAIN OPENS]

NANCY: You say something, Mario?

Mario.

Mario?

[CARTOON CHARACTER LAUGHING ON TV]

[♪]

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]

NANCY: He was lonely. So was I.

We came here after my shift.

I took a chance, and this happened.

VETTER: You'd never seen him in the bar before?

Like I said, he was a one-nighter.

He was from Montreal.

KNIGHT: The woman you saw in the window, was she at the bar?

If she was there, I didn't see her.

We'd like to sit you down with a sketch artist

at the station, Miss Ebbers.

We need you to give a description.

Officer.

Can I get dressed first?

Memo to Tracy:

It's a jungle out there in date land.

Small caliber, silenced weapon.

Either he knew the killer, or he didn't have time to duck.

Whoever she is, she meant business.

LACROIX: Cold, barren,

bleak.

Winter is the kindest season.

The heart will not melt in winter.

Chilled by the cold,

we're spared the grief,

the sorrow,

the messy emotion of life.

Winter is solace for the lonely.

Its cool touch soothes the tattered heart.

So...

as to why you have asked me to meet you here...

[SIGHS]

I've had a wonderful few years here.

This is my home.

It has sheltered me

and allowed me to shelter others who need it.

To be a mother to the strays, as it were.

Ah, yes, the joys of parenting strays.

We really must compare notes one day.

♪ Start the masquerade without me... ♪

And what is this?

The deed.

I'm giving the Raven to you.

Why?

Because I'm leaving.

Really?

Why?

BOY: Janette, are you okay?

LACROIX: A sad tale's best for winter.

[CLICKS RADIO OFF]

I'm fine, Patrick.

When are we going home?

Soon.

How would you like to spend a few days at Aunt Peggy's?

Sure.

I mean, it's got to be better

than us being in this car all day.

Mmm.

[LAUGHS]

[TYPING]

No. A little shorter.

NANCY: Yeah, that's better.

But, you know, the eyes still aren't right.

Montreal Arson says Mario Larouche was booked off.

What, so he takes a vacation at a cheap motel in Toronto?

Mid-life crisis. Who knows?

NANCY: That's closer.

Yeah.

That's it.

[GROWLING]

Okay, let's get this out right away

and fax it to Montreal Arson.

[♪]

Not very flattering, is it?

Whoever she may be.

You don't think that's Janette.

Little boys and girls run away

by hiding in their parents' closet.

Nicholas, when one of us decides to move on, we disappear.

Are you asking me to accept

that Janette has been in this city

without my knowledge?

I would have sensed her

and so would you.

And to shoot an arson investigator.

Really, Nicholas.

How much sense does that make to you?

There's something more than

"it was just her time," isn't there?

Is there?

She did what she had to do.

It's that simple.

Nothing is that simple.

JANETTE: You always told me

that I would know when the time came.

[FRED MOLLIN'S "BLACK ROSE" CONTINUES PLAYING]

And how do you know that your time has come?

Because the thing that you fear the most has happened to me.

♪ As I start My fall from grace... ♪

Doubt...

in what I am.

What you are is a vampire.

It's quite simple, really.

No, it's not so simple anymore.

Nicholas.

I like what I am,

and I don't want to change.

I don't want to end up like him,

drawn to mortals,

to humanity.

I must get away from him

to reaffirm what I am.

I agree.

♪ Take illusion and disguise ♪

You go.

♪ You scorn the truth You need the lies... ♪

Nicholas must not know.

He already has enough doubt in his life.

♪ There is no answer... ♪

Lacroix,

make sure that there is always a place

are welcome.

♪ Oh, a black rose ♪

She never told you why?

I never asked.

[♪]

LACROIX: Where has she gone?

Slipped away like a child in a fairground.

Lost in the crowd.

Does she wander through the noise

searching for the hand that guides?

Does she embrace the heavenly alchemy

breathing fresh liberty like the spring flower

that brings summer?

But summer soon fades into forever,

and she is left forsaken

to face the chill of winter...

alone.

[DISTANT PANTING]

Welcome back, Nicholas.

Nicholas.

[♪]

It's good to see you.

I'm glad you think so.

A man was murdered tonight.

It's my case.

We have a description,

a composite of the killer.

Tell me the resemblance is just a coincidence.

I killed Larouche.

Nicholas, I'm aware of the position

that I put you in by being here,

but I need your help.

Why? You could have just gone away.

No.

No, there is evidence that I must find

before whoever shot at me tonight finds it.

Shot at you?

Nicholas, please.

Arrest me or help me.

You don't have to decide now.

I need to rest.

[♪]

Where's your partner?

Not in yet.

You trying to nuke your corneas?

Twenty-third posted this earlier today.

An abandoned vehicle near the Civic Centre

was shot up pretty good.

They gave me a call on it.

Why?

Car had Quebec plates.

It was registered to a Robert McDonagh,

who's a Montreal arson investigator

who was shot and killed there two weeks ago.

Hm. Do we think our Jane Doe is linked?

Well, Montreal has no leads so far but maybe.

Well, find out for sure.

How did you sleep?

I didn't.

So...

will you help?

Yeah, I'll book off work.

Oh.

I said I'd help.

Janette, tell me...

Did you really intend never to see me again?

No explanations.

I thought it was best.

You were wrong.

Oh, Nicholas.

I left...because of you.

Because of your quest for humanity.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

A vampire's heart must be cold.

Immortality makes this so.

Death is always around us,

but we must never allow it to touch us.

So we cannot allow the emotion of loss

to infect us.

Lacroix knew this,

and I agreed with him.

But...?

But you,

after 800 years,

could no longer live without your humanity.

And I began to wonder if you might be right.

Eight hundred years.

It's a long time to live with a cold heart,

only for yourself.

You should have come to me.

I could have helped you.

Ah, but I didn't want to be helped.

I was accustomed to my immortality,

and I was afraid.

Of what?

Look at the suffering that your search has caused you.

So I went to Montreal,

a taste of Paris, but not too far from the family.

I thought I would reaffirm the vampire in me...

[SIGHS]

...but it seems that I got caught in the very dilemma

that I left to avoid.

Meaning?

Nicholas-- We have to go.

[♪]

This is a key to a locker at the Civic Centre.

And inside the locker there's $50,000

and the location of the next fire

that Mario Larouche was to have set.

Where did the money come from?

From a Toronto real estate developer

who was paying Larouche to set and then cover up

a series of Montreal arson fires.

You left to reaffirm the vampire in you,

and you get involved in this?

[SIGHS]

Well, mystery solved on Knight.

He just called in sick.

You get anything on Robert McDonagh?

Yeah. I have a call in to a friend

working the police beat at the Montreal Gazette.

She's asking around.

One thing though.

She says McDonagh has a sister living in Uxbridge.

Hm. You may wanna pay her a visit.

I'm on my way.

So should I just go where you tell me to

and guess at everything else?

Larouche framed a friend of mine for the arson cover-up.

A friend of yours?

Whom he then murdered.

So you kill Larouche in revenge,

and the evidence in the locker clears your dead friend.

Such a humanitarian gesture.

Nicholas, I don't need your sarcasm, I need your help.

You're not unaccustomed to taking injustices

into your own hands.

All right, all right.

Meanwhile, someone's trying to kill you.

WOMAN: How can I help you?

Mrs. Bolger, we found your brother's car...

Abandoned.

You have any idea who drove it to Toronto?

Well, Bobby's girlfriend

and his son Patrick are here for a few days.

She was driving his car.

Are they still in town?

Patrick is staying here.

Janette said something about visiting her brother

in the city.

Janette?

Janette De Brabant.

Has something happened to her?

We're not sure. But we'd like to talk to her

about something else we're working on.

Do you know how I might contact her or her brother?

No idea. But Patrick might.

I could wake him if you want.

Actually, that would be helpful.

Thank you.

You know I have to ask.

His name was Robert McDonagh, and I was in love with him

more than you can ever imagine.

Nicholas, he has a son, Patrick,

and he is an innocent.

He doesn't understand why Robert was killed,

but when he grows up

he will be told that his father was a criminal,

and I cannot allow that.

Where's his mother now?

She died five years ago.

I'm his mother.

His official guardian.

PATRICK: Is Janette okay?

Of course.

Just answer the detective's questions

and then you can go back to sleep.

Okay.

Did, uh, Janette tell you why you were coming to Toronto?

To visit Uncle Nicholas.

Is his last name De Brabant?

Have you ever met him?

Neither of us have.

Frankly, I didn't even know she had a brother

until she mentioned it when she dropped Patrick off last night.

I've got a picture of him she gave me.

Really? Do you think it would be okay if you showed it to me?

What exactly is the problem here?

Janette may be a material witness in a murder.

Does that mean you think that she's the killer?

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

That's them.

There's her brother right there.

[♪]

How did you meet him?

Well, I was living in a loft in Vieux-Montréal

and Robert just, uh, well, he barged in

and swept me off my feet.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

[WHIMPERING]

By the time he got to me

he had already saved five others that night.

His heroism was beyond my comprehension.

A mortal risking his one short life to save others.

I envied his courage,

his mortality.

He reminded me of you.

It was through him that I realized

that your quest to become mortal again is right.

It's strange hearing that coming from you.

Strange that I would run

from the truth that I saw in you,

only to find it again in Robert.

He and I were together from the night of the fire.

He had been injured that night,

and so he was transferred to the arson squad.

That's when it all started with Larouche.

But, um...

How could the two of you be together?

Did you tell him what you were?

JANETTE: Napoleon would not listen to General Murat

because Murat was married to Napoleon's sister, Caroline,

whom Napoleon just hated.

Hated her? Why?

Well, she was very mean to him.

In fact, she used to beat him up, yes.

Oh, and she smelled. Too much herring.

His own sister used to beat him up?

Mm-hm. No way.

Yes. Patrick, don't make the mistake that a lot of men make.

Never underestimate a woman's strength.

Anyway.

Because he didn't listen to his brother-in-law,

Napoleon lost at Waterloo.

And then, of course, Wellington's army had caterers,

and Napoleon's men had to eat rats and bugs.

Yuck. Yuck.

[JANETTE GIGGLES]

All right. It's time for you to go to bed, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

Good night. Good night.

Good night, Dad. Night-night, buddy.

Napoleon's sister smelled?

Oh, it's true.

I don't know what it is, but when you tell these stories

it's like you were there.

What if I were to tell you that I was?

Robert,

if we're to be together we can't have secrets, right?

Only I have a deep, dark past thing.

Forget it, Janette, everybody has a past.

Yes, but there's a past, and there is a past.

What are you getting at?

In the time that we've been together,

you've never seen me in the daylight.

You've never seen me

eating or drinking.

Well, no, actually.

And we haven't made love.

That I've noticed.

I figured you'd let me know when you were ready.

Look, where is this going?

Come here.

Robert, put your hand on my heart.

It's all right. It's all right.

What the hell are you talking about?

Your heart isn't beating. Robert, I would never hurt you,

but you have to listen to me,

please, if you love me.

This is some kind of joke, right?

No.

No.

I'm older and have seen more things

than you can ever imagine.

How'd he take it?

Well, um, it was a long night,

but love, as they say, conquers all.

How was Robert involved in the arson cover-up?

He told Mario that he knew what was going on

and he and he wanted to be part of it.

These Toronto real-estate guys pay 50 grand a job.

I torch the building, and then I do the arson report.

MARIO: It's perfect.

ROBERT: They'll pay that much?

MARIO: You kidding? I saved them 12 million last year.

I speed up business for them, and nobody gets hurt.

Abandoned buildings, warehouses.

You make sure no one is living in them.

So there's a few squatters there and then,

but you guys always get them out.

[♪]

You think I wanna kill people?

Look, Robert, you could retire in a few years tops.

Spend the rest of your days with your lovely Janette.

Lie in the Florida sun.

You know, she could use some sun that one.

Let me think about it.

JANETTE: 'Course, he never intended to go through with it.

He just wanted to confirm the cover-up.

His mistake was to underestimate how ruthless Larouche was.

It's a common mistake.

[♪]

Let them open it first.

We're being watched. Let's come back another time.

Come on.

I forgot to tell you. I'm--

I'm mortal.

Hey.

Freeze! Police!

Hey, you just missed some of my best work,

that is, if you're into postmortem cranial examinations.

Nat, I need a favor.

Thanks, Jill.

No problem.

Makes me nervous.

Favors for you usually include a little more than

"Can I borrow your car?"

I'll need that too.

Hello, Natalie.

She's been shot.

What?

Nat, she needs something for the pain.

Can you clean the wound and stitch it up?

Ooh.

Heart rate normal.

You can't be.

She is.

What can I tell ya, cap?

Lady looks like that you remember her.

And those two guys were definitely trying to kill her.

REESE: Okay.

Thanks Griffin.

Sure.

Anything on our friend?

Tall, blond, dark coat, hustled her out after she was shot.

Got the hospitals covered.

Okay.

So we got a wounded murder suspect

and an accomplice, both of them being shot at

by persons unknown for reasons unknown.

Kind of gives you the feeling

this thing's a little more complicated than we thought.

Oh, yeah.

Cap?

Yeah...what?

Uh, nothing.

Forget it.

LAMBERT: Now, I don't want anyone getting me wrong here.

I think that we all know that I'm not exactly against

vampires regaining their mortality,

but how the hell are we gonna explain this?

You're protecting a murder suspect, correction,

confessed killer, and here I am sewing her up and what?

Forgetting to file a report.

Nat, take it easy.

Oh, I would love to take it easy, Nick.

I'm sorry...I got you both involved.

How comforting.

So...how?

I don't know.

Don't you wanna know?

KNIGHT: Of course, I do. I fell in love with a mortal.

I think I knew the change was possible

the first time we made love.

[HEART BEATING]

KNIGHT: What made you stop?

His blood was inside me.

You know that feeling, Nicholas,

it's unlike anything

a mortal can experience.

But there was something more.

[HEART BEATING]

JANETTE: Blood calms our hunger.

Yes, but his blood calmed my heart.

I felt warmth.

And then each time we made love

he let me feed and each time

I needed less and less.

I don't know. I don't--

Maybe we were simply meant to be.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

That can't account for what happened, can it?

I mean...fate?

Y-you're telling me that all it took for you

to become mortal was love and a little restraint?

No, no.

No. For that to happen there was a price to be paid.

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTS]

Patrick... Take care of my son.

No, Robert, no.

I can save you.

I can bring you across, Robert.

Robert!

No.

I tried to bring him back.

I tried.

I don't know if it was our lovemaking,

or if somehow taking in his blood had changed me,

but...it didn't work.

No!

It was as though eight centuries

of repressed emotion were being released.

I thought I was going to die.

I hoped I would die.

Instead, you became mortal.

The vampire in me lingered.

Or, should I say, the killer in me.

But after I killed Larouche,

I felt it vanish completely.

I'm willing to confess,

and I'll accept whatever punishment I'm given.

What about Patrick?

He still has his aunt and uncle,

and they love him deeply.

As I do.

[PHONE RINGS]

Lambert.

Uh, yeah. Sure, I can have that ready for pickup

in a few minutes. Okay.

Well, the real world intrudes.

I'm afraid we won't have the place to ourselves

for very much longer.

That local anesthetic will wear off in about an hour.

Here. Take one of these

every four hours after that.

Natalie,

thank you.

You're welcome.

I'd like to call Patrick's aunt, Peggy,

to make sure that he's all right.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Who is this?

We decided that maybe there was something

you valued more than your own life.

We propose an exchange.

Auntie and nephew for the key.

All we want

is the key.

[DIAL TONE]

I'll do it their way, don't worry. No surprises.

Those people will kill anyone if it suits them.

The way we used to.

Nat.

Trace, what can I do for ya?

Actually, I need your advice.

A pathologist's advice is freely given.

Most of my patients don't pay up anyway.

It's about Nick. I think he's involved

with a woman who's a murder suspect.

What makes you think that?

I talked to her ward, a boy named Patrick.

Here's a photocopy of a picture he showed me.

Recognize her?

No. But then, it isn't the best picture, is it?

I mean, the guy, I admit, looks a bit like Nick

but it's hard to tell from this.

But the boy said he's her brother.

Ah. There you go. Nick has no family.

But if it is him, and he's protecting a fugitive...

You know something, don't you?

Yeah. I know Nick.

And I know that he always tries to do the right thing.

[♪]

Just try to stay calm.

I won't let anything happen to them.

Come in.

Now, whoever you are

you shouldn't have got involved in this.

Ah. Over there.

We have a deal.

Their lives for the key.

That's the deal.

Untie them first.

First the key.

[PATRICK WHIMPERING]

Honey, it's okay. It's gonna be over soon.

I'm just reaching into my pocket.

Could you...

throw it on the table?

Cut them loose.

[GRUNTS]

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

[BEEPING]

[MUFFLED CRIES] [DOOR CLOSES]

Janette!

Janette! [GROANING]

Patrick. Patrick. Go save him, Nick.

You gotta go.

[COUGHING]

Patrick.

Help me get her out of here.

Mom! No!

Mom! Come here! Come here!

I'll look after her in a minute. Listen,

just help me get your aunt out of here.

Patrick! Come on.

That's a good boy. Go on.

Go on!

[GROANS]

Janette, I can bring you across.

No. No. No.

Janette!

No, don't. Don't.

[BOTH PANTING]

[ROARING]

I just got the test results.

What caused Janette to become mortal

was the massive dose of beta-blockers

and norepinephrine caused by her emotional trauma.

It means that we've been doing the right thing all along.

And I've got proof positive.

Nick

we're going to have a baby.

[LAUGHS]

REESE: Knight, where the hell are you?

We got a double homicide on our hands. Civic Centre.

I want you there ASAP, Knight.

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

VETTER: Hey, you okay?

KNIGHT: Yeah. VETTER: You look a little weird.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I want to thank you for covering for me earlier.

Look, I don't know what you were doing

with this Janette person or why.

Just please tell me it was the right thing

and it's not gonna come back and haunt us.

No, it's not gonna come back to haunt us.

But as to whether or not it was the right thing,

I don't know.

So we found this in the, uh, locker.

Looks like Mario Larouche

was up to some pretty dirty business

with a very prominent Toronto real-estate developer.

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Hi.

So...

Everything, uh, smoothed over?

As well as can be expected.

Patrick will be fine with his uncle and his aunt.

Okay.

Well, let's hope so. He's been through a lot.

Nat, what Janette said about how much she loved Robert,

about what happened between them.

I can't take that kind of chance with your life.

I know.

I keep repeating to myself

"extraordinary circumstances,"

and I think I'm okay with that.

How about you? Are you okay?

So far.

Good, because your day

just got off to one hell of a lousy start.

Even Leonardo couldn't capture all of her beauty.

Strange how things turn out, isn't it?

Through hellish circumstance

she obtains what has proven so elusive to you,

only to have that one-in-a-billion happenstance

taken from her by you.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry for you, Nicholas.

She must have left it here today.

You haven't told me everything.

No.

But then neither have you.

It seems that I have lost a daughter

and regained a son.

Plus ça change, Nicholas.

Plus ça change.
