Oh!

Where to?

Sullivan Street.

I said where to?

23 Sullivan Street.

You OK?

Can we cut through the park, please?

That'll take longer.

That's a short cut where I'm going.

Stop here, please.

Here.

Lady, I can't break a 20.

Why did you have to stop me?

Could be worth that.

It's your time.

What's your name?

Susie.

What do you mean it's my time?

You're warm.

What did you do?

I can help.

I can't go on.

I can't.

I can't see.

I can't see.

Cut.

Hold it, Gilda.

It's not working.

Kevin.

Kevin number two, a lot tighter.

Playback.

And action.

What?

Jesus Christ.

You're relaxed.

The first good one

we've had all goddamn day.

Look, the goddamn door unlocked.

The whole fucking shot is ruined.

Eric, when that red

light is on, you stay out.

If you can't follow

the rules, don't come in.

I did it again.

I'm sorry, honey.

I need a break.

We all need a break.

Call lunch, will you?

Great. I must be fair and--

You have to go over the

graveyard shift video.

We've got clients here in one hour.

I'm sorry, Eric.

I can't have lunch.

Look, I didn't mean to yell.

No, that's OK.

Have you heard back from the doctors?

No.

Look, Eric, I've got a lot of work to do.

See you at home for dinner.

Fine.

Perhaps I might feast

with you leading lady.

You don't mind, do you?

Go ahead.

She's your friend too.

Good. Well, I'll let you get back to work.

OK.

Bye.

Bye.

Let's go, boys.

Put them together for the fabulous train.

And now the pink pussycat proudly

presents Miss Medea,

the wild woman with the spank.

You dropped this.

Hey, what the hell are those?

So what do you say?

Have them a little nush

before you cut up another stiff?

You guys are the way they've already

finished the examination.

I know.

What's happened?

There it is.

The first wound is

right across the throat.

Cembered the jugular

and half the esophagus.

That's what killed him.

Apart from these two on the chest,

the rest are just minor cuts and bruises.

He was moving, trying to get away.

Now, here's the best part.

You want in on this?

I can hear fine.

Do you know what these are?

No.

Teeth marks.

You mean we're looking for cannibals now?

The report said you think it was a woman.

Yeah, my examination

showed traces of nail polish

and lipstick around some of the wounds.

I don't think it was a drag queen,

because there were traces of

semen in the victim's penis.

Wisty died happy?

Come on, you guys come

in here, and all you see

is a blue body.

I sit with it for hour on hour, and I

make the examination.

I know everything the guy went through.

I know the pain and agony he died from.

Now cut the jokes.

Let's go.

Don't worry, Ab.

If you go to heaven, that'll be fine.

If you go to hell, I'll see you there.

OK, guys, be careful with

that when you're moving it.

Don't turn, please.

So these things happen?

I know.

Bye.

That's it for today, Mario.

I'm leaving.

What's wrong?

The project's off.

What?

What happened?

The studio wouldn't go for it.

But we were so close.

You said it was sold.

You had contacts with the top brass.

Look, maybe if you

called them and told them

some of your ideas--

My ideas are in the

script where they belong.

Christ.

Don't these people know

how much we've put into this?

It's over, Michelle.

Now go home.

Taxi!

Where to?

Nowhere until I get a light.

Here, take this.

This is lovely.

That's better.

2119 Market Square, please.

Anything wrong with me?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that.

2119 Market Square.

Sorry.

No, that's OK.

That was nice.

What do you do?

I make contacts.

Contact Roger that I can never fly away.

Where would you like to fly?

So high that when I

shit, I don't miss anyone.

No, I didn't mean that.

I guess you get a lot of this.

It's better than hot enough for you?

Listen, I don't mind.

It's so easy to talk to a stranger.

They don't have anything on you.

And you're never sure what might happen.

Strangers can change before your eyes.

Suddenly.

I like that.

Sometimes I think that

the longer you're around,

the less strange things get and the

lonelier you become.

There's no such thing as suddenly.

This is it.

How much is it?

6.40, please.

My name is Steven.

My name is Michelle.

Contact.

Tea, please.

No fair tonight, Chef?

Yeah, slow night.

Want a cigarette?

But lots of action.

How so?

Murder, my boy.

Again?

Uh-huh.

Heard it over the car set.

Couple of the beat boys found some guy

I'll slash up to pulp.

Real grizzly.

Bad piece of work.

What happened this time?

Wasn't there personally,

so I can't fill you in.

But I got a line on the killer.

Who is it this time?

It's between me and him.

Could have been a woman.

Well, if it was, maybe

you'll give me her phone number.

I'd really like to meet her.

Keep dreaming, Chef.

You're going to get yours.

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

Maybe sooner than you think.

I almost went to the

pink pussycat tonight.

Might have been me in that garbage alley.

Hey, Stevie, let me

buy you a greasy burger.

This is car working before

I leave the pink pussycat

in proceeding south on Mulberry.

Out.

Well, what do you think?

Open and shut.

Some guy gets rough with

the hookers, so she cuts him.

Happens all the time.

You got a heart on that bed someplace?

Let's go get a miller

before we get into this.

What do you say?

It's the wrong time

for this kind of murder.

What do you mean?

Summer is right for this kind of killer.

Anything goes.

In spring, murder goes

down and the salt goes up.

The winter is for suicide.

But in the fall--

People just die.

What did you do tonight, Fran, my love?

I'm sorry, Steven.

I couldn't wait any longer.

Why did you do it?

It was not your time.

I thought if I did it, you'll return.

I will do it again.

Black Maria studio?

Yes, it is.

Michelle, hey there.

Dr. Chomsky?

Oh, Michelle.

Michelle, the tests are in.

And?

Well, I think you better

come in tomorrow so we can talk.

No.

Tell me now.

They came back positive.

We've checked them several times.

And unfortunately,

there can't be no error.

So the question is how long, right?

Michelle, don't be hasty.

Under the proper care and

if we start immediately?

No.

No tests.

No treatments.

Michelle, there's

always something we can do.

But we have to start now.

You still haven't

answered my question, doctor.

How long?

Without proper treatment.

A few months.

I can understand.

Need a ride?

Can you take me where I want to go?

Anywhere.

Quite a coincidence you're being there.

Not really.

I just came back from my matchbox.

That's right.

Sorry.

It must mean a lot to you.

It was very important a long time ago.

Now, it's just a keepsake.

Keepsakes are important.

Remembering is

important when it's all over.

Here you are.

Home at last, huh?

How much is it?

Thank you.

I'm having a Halloween party this Friday.

I'd really like you to come.

Bye.

There won't be many people there.

And they're all very nice.

I said I'd come.

I'm not quite with it tonight.

I forgot to phone Eric and

tell him I'd be this late.

Eric?

My husband.

Well, don't worry about him.

At the party, he'll be otherwise engaged.

He's quite the lady killer.

I better go in now.

See you Friday.

Around 9.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I feel better now.

I shouldn't come.

Please do.

That's not your fault. 13

already responded today.

You had a 13.

It's already gone away there.

There's something over there.

There's something in that area.

Ooh.

You got trouble, man?

Nothing I can't handle myself, thanks.

I'll bet.

Hey, maybe we can call a tow truck.

Put that back.

Make them.

Give me my money.

Oh, shit.

This dude's alive.

Fucking monster.

Unbelievable man.

Come on.

Hey, Stevie.

How's it doing, Nick?

I'm all right.

It's a matter of you, don't look so good.

Tired.

Listen, I got some vitamin C for you.

I was telling you

about that the other day.

Good idea.

That's why I gotta go out

and talk to you tomorrow, OK?

Right.

Wait for it.

No work.

A couple of kids found

it about an hour ago.

Parents called it in.

Any witnesses?

Not yet.

Start a door-to-door.

Maybe somebody heard something.

You think there's a

connection with the other night?

I hope so.

I sure hate to think we're looking

for more than one of these.

Trouble, officer?

You want to get out of the car, please?

I was under the speed limit.

You'll be under arrest if

you don't get out of the car.

Yes.

Can I talk to you?

Excuse us.

You've been acting skittish all evening.

Is anything wrong?

What?

No.

I-- I just want to make sure that

everything runs well.

Michelle, I know that look.

Everything's fine.

Pass the dipper ramp, would you?

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's OK.

Come on in, stranger.

I think your husband is

a little put off by me.

Don't worry about him.

Why did you invite me here?

After that first time in your cab, I--

I felt something when you drove off.

This is going to sound very coy.

Go on.

I felt like I did when

I was about 10 years old

and I had a dream.

I was alone, outside, in

the middle of a dark wood.

It was raining.

So I tilted my head back

and opened my mouth very wide.

The rain gathered like a pool.

And a small black bird rested

on my lip and began to drink.

He would dip his beak into my mouth

and throw his head back to swallow.

But each time he dipped his beak,

I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

And when he swallowed, I felt--

I don't know a sense of joy.

I'm not making any sense.

Are you mad?

That's how you made me feel.

A little of sadness and--

why did you come?

You reminded me of something as well.

Tell me.

Let's dance.

So somebody told me a new book is about a

history of monsters.

Yes, it is.

Fascinating stuff.

I've been doing

research on it for a few years.

So tell me, Michelle.

I have to know.

Yeah, I don't know why.

Stop these childish bullshit games.

Are you fucking him?

Then there's a dreaded vampire cursed

above all creatures,

solitary wanderer,

poised between life and death,

one foot in each.

Naturally, we're terrified of it.

But if we only got to

know him, if we only dared,

think of the things he could tell us.

I feel like I'm losing you.

I don't know why.

You're not acting like yourself.

I mean, I'm not acting

the way I'm supposed to.

No, quit twisting my words around it.

Just give me a straight answer.

What's a straight answer, Eric?

Are you in love with

this taxi cab driver?

Come, you never ask if

I'm in love with you.

Jesus Christ, you've got yourself.

OK.

Look, Eric, there's

something you should know.

I'm dying.

The tests were positive.

I'm going to die.

And tomorrow we're going

to go and see Dr. Halter's

over at St. Teresa's.

He's the best in the field.

No, no, of course not.

Dr. Navarra in Pittsburgh.

You'll see her.

No, she's a friend of mine.

I know her personally.

She's, uh-- oh, she's damn good.

Did you hear what you said?

It's over.

I-- I've been waiting for this.

I want it.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Stay away from me!

Michelle.

She's not dead.

She's alive.

Look.

Please understand this.

That is how we both live.

How could you lie to me?

I will not hurt you.

You are ill enough.

What do you know?

I know you are dying.

I felt it that night.

How?

That is the time I come to my lovers

when they are in the cycle of death.

She and the others do not

despair when I am there.

And me?

And me?

You welcome it.

And you?

Stephen, I love you.

That'll be 8.20.

So tell me, who were

you in your past life?

You wouldn't want to have known me then.

I haven't threw up rough water before.

Well, if I got a nice

warm force no one around,

what do you say?

I say leave the way.

This is it.

No.

No, no, no.

Stephen!

I've never done this before.

Stephen!

Stephen!

Stephen!

Michelle.

Where have you been?

I'm sorry, Eric.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Don't leave me.

Please.

I'll stay with you now, Eric.

What in hell is going

on out there tonight?

This must be the 10th one.

Yeah, but you sure it's a woman?

Yeah.

But not the same woman.

No.

The entry marks in each body

differ from one to the other.

It has to be a different woman each time.

Doesn't make sense, a mad

killing spree like this.

A woman kills someone

close to her, a lover, a child.

But not like this.

Attention all units, Spar

Spar, vicinity officer down.

Valley Road, Savannah, all units, Spar

Spar, vicinity officer down.

154 responding.

Jesus Christ, what a night.

What the hell happened here?

We were responding to a 186.

Matuska and I split up.

I heard two shots, and

then Matuska screamed.

That's what I found when I got here.

I called it in right away.

When?

About 1141.

Did you see anything at all?

No, sir.

I figured it's that

maniac we're looking for.

Okay, I'm going to take a look around.

Something strange here.

Wait here.

154 here, Valley and Savannah.

Go ahead, 154.

I want to confirm on that 186.

Who called it in?

Officer Arbus, 23rd precinct.

No, no.

I want the citizens report.

There is no citizens

report on record, sir.

Are you sure?

That's what's on my screen.

Officer, I want you to

run all this by me again.

Arbus?

Arbus?

Arbus!

It's all over, Arbus.

Drive it.

Kevin, what's wrong?

It's passing, I'm fine.

What is it?

No, my wish is coming true.

What?

To die.

Why?

This didn't have to happen.

I have been here for centuries.

I am tired.

But I did not have the courage.

When I met you,

I met a lover worth dying for.

I was a little bit tired.

I just started.

We could have the future.

It's late.

I will take you home.

Not now, Eric.

Just give me a hand.

He's very sick.

Looks like hell.

He belongs in a hospital.

Not alone.

A day or two.

Let's go somewhere.

Breaking my heart.

This is crazy.

We should be taking care of you.

Come on, get out.

Hey.

Can't you wake up?

I'm trying to watch the fuck out of my

house before my wife gets home.

Wake up!

Just checking on the patient, doctor.

Did you see those marks on her chest?

Yeah, those were teeth marks, and they

weren't self-inflicted.

Christ, Doc.

What the hell are we looking for?

All we can get out of her is something

about a black cat and

somebody called Steven.

Oh, hello.

Are Michelle and Eric home?

I came to return Eric's keys.

I saw you at the party.

I guess I got a little drunk.

I did a terrible thing to Michelle.

I feel so bad.

I guess I really came to apologize.

I feel like I just want to

curl up someplace and die.

No!

I want him out of here tomorrow.

I couldn't help it.

I was alone.

She came.

I was afraid to die.

I am with you now.

I understand.

Kill her.

Before she comes back from the dead.

Who are you calling?

The police.

No, you're not.

I'm going to lie to them.

I'm going to tell them you had absolutely

nothing to do with this.

Hello, police.

Steven! Don't!

Steven?

Let's go home.

There is something you must help me do.

I believe you.

Thank God.

I thought you were going

to call the boys in white.

No. I believe these things can happen.

You may as well go on

into the surface of things.

So you've seen it too.

No, I haven't seen them.

And why do you believe me?

Faith.

Faith.

Put this shirt on.

I have to get going.

Oh, hi, Gilda.

Michelle's not here. I

think she's home with the cold.

You don't look so good yourself.

Maybe you need a good, stiff drink.

Attention all units.

Attention all units.

Pay on the lookout for

black cat taxi number 237,

port of missing and

driver's table set based.

What is all this?

It's the cemetery set for the next video.

You'd like it. Have you got a light?

Attention all units.

Black cat taxi number

237, westbound, be first.

What happened?

Is this more like what

you expected, gentlemen?

Where's Michelle?

She's where she wants to be.

You can't take her away from me.

She needs me.

I want only to give

Michelle what she desires.

No!

That is not real.

He won't love you once you're one of us.

There!

Here!

Venture now and

- I did it again, didn't I, honey?

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Freeze!

- Taxi!

Are you free?

- Sure.

Where to?

- I don't know.

Just some place where

I can have a good time

and have some fun.

- I'll take you where you wanna go.

- Contact.
