[Beth is hesitating to knock on the door. Mick watches her on the screen. She finally knocks on his door] MICK: Beth. BETH: Okay, I'm here to talk to you about, ahm, you. MICK: Maybe you should come in. [She comes in and they sit down] BETH: I really need you to tell me that I didn't see what I saw, what I think I saw, the other night. The blood, the fangs. I heard what you said. MICK: That I'm a vampire. BETH: How am I supposed ...are you the only one or are there other vampires? MICK: A few hundred here in L.A. BETH: How can people not know you exist? MICK: We're extremely careful. Sometimes people see things but they dismiss it. BETH: How can they? MICK: Or no one believes them. People have been hunting us for thousands of years. So it's extremely important that no one knows we exist. Do you understand? BETH: Mm-hmm. So do you bite people's necks and suck the blood out? MICK: Actually I get most of my blood from the blood bank. BETH: Oh. The Red Cross does not mention that in their literature. MICK: I don't think they know. BETH: Do you-Do you know how crazy this is? I'm trying really hard to wrap my mind around what you just said and what I saw. MICK: Hey, I get it. It's a lot to...get. BETH: So how does a person even become a vampire? How did you become a vampire? FLASHBACK
[LOS ANGELES, 1952]
[Mick and Coraline are entering their honeymoon suite] MICK: I'll love you forever. CORALINE: Forever? [They lay on the bed and she bites him] CUT BACK TO MICK'S APARTMENT
[Mick is lost in thought] BETH: Mick? MICK: I'm sorry, I can't, not...I'm sorry, you gotta go. BETH: Were you bitten by another vampire? Is that how it works? One minute you're Mick the Human and the next you're Mick the Vampire? MICK: Another time. BETH: What was it like? MICK: Another time. [Beth leaves] MICK'S VOICE OVER: What's it like to turn into a vampire? CUT TO STREET
[A man is crossing the street without looking] MICK'S VOICE OVER: As if there was some way to describe it. What do you do when your whole world changes in the blink of an eye? [The man gets hit by a car. Another driver sees this and gets out of his car to help him] DRIVER: Sir? Sir, can you hear me? Sir, are you alright? Okay, everything's gonna be alright, I'm a doctor. Okay, I'm just gonna feel your neck a little bit Sir, okay? Stay with me, come on. MICK'S VOICE OVER: When suddenly, all the rules change. [The man goes into vamp mode and bites the driver] CUT TO A SUPERMARKET
[The store clerk hears some strange noises coming from an isle. He sees the rogue vampire eating food on the floor] STORE CLERK: Hey, what are you doing? You have to pay for those! ROGUE VAMPIRE: I'm not paying for anything! Something's wrong with your food! It doesn't have any taste! STORE CLERK: You're crazy! You stay away from me! You get back! I mean it! [The rogue vampire smells the store clerk's blood and attacks him] CUT TO OUTSIDE OF SUPERMARKET
[Beth is there covering the story] BETH: At this time the police aren't releasing any details, but earlier tonight a store clerk was murdered at this downtown location. We'll post further details as soon as we get them. This is Beth Turner for Buzz Wire. CAMERA MAN: And we are good. I'll go to the van and upload your report to the archives. BETH: Okay. [Beth sees Lieutenant Carl talking to a woman] WOMAN: It's a bloody mess in there. The guy was literally chewed up. LT. CARL: A wild animal maybe? WOMAN: In a convenience store? LT. CARL: Maybe someone didn't approve of his choice of slushee flavours and send his dog on the poor bastard. WOMAN: Pit bull? Like the one that mauled that woman in San Francisco? LT. CARL: Maybe. WOMAN: Best theory so far. We'll see what the coroner says. LT. CARL: Alright. Let's call it the night. [He sees Beth] LT. CARL: Listen, whatever you heard...off the record. BETH: I heard 'Bloody, chewed up body'. LT. CARL: I said I don't want you going out with this thing. BETH: Then give me something. Come on, Carl, it's me. Just give me a little something. Off the record, I swear. LT. CARL: Yeah, that's what you always say. BETH: And I always hold the story. LT. CARL: Look, fine. This guy in here was not just chewed up. His blood was gone. Somehow his body was completely drained. CUT TO MORGUE
[Guillermo is working, Mick walks in] MICK: Jeez, Guillermo, you're like a 12-year-old girl with the messages. Texting. Alright, I'm here, what's the emergency? GUILLERMO: Came in a couple of hours ago. [Guillermo shows Mick the store clerk's body] MICK: Look at how the flesh has been just ripped away. It's like something was literally trying to eat this guy. What are the cops saying? GUILLERMO: Well, for now, dog attack. MICK: Yeah, right. GUILLERMO: Not many vampire victims come into the morgue. That's why I wanted you to get down here before the coroner took a look. The vampire that did this must've been severely pissed off. MICK: Or newly turned. I can barely smell any decay. But why wasn't his sire controlling him? GUILLERMO: Maybe the sire changed his mind, deserted the newbie. MICK: That goes against every rule we have. A sire has to be responsible for whoever they turn, help them through the transition. GUILLERMO: I hardly remember anything from when I got turned. I was too out of it. MICK: I remember the rage, the need to satisfy a hunger that I didn't understand, and what it felt like to feed for the first time. We've got a rogue on our hands. The way to find this guy is to find his sire. [Beth shows up. Mick goes to talk to her] MICK: What are you doing here?
BETH: Word is, something slashed him opened and drained all his blood out.
MICK: 'Something'? What, as in something like me? BETH: I didn't say that. MICK: Whatever did this is nothing like me, okay? BETH: Okay, fine, I believe you. MICK: I want you off this case. BETH: Why? Because there's a vampire involved? Oh, God, I can't believe I just said that. MICK: Yeah, exactly. BETH: Hey, I've been doing this job long before I knew about vampires, and I'm gonna keep doing it, I don't have to ask your permission. MICK: It's gonna get dangerous, Beth. BETH: Then it's a good thing I got you around. MICK: Okay. You still wanna know how someone becomes a vampire? Well, first you have to reach a point near death. Then, the vampire, your sire, feeds you their own blood. BETH: Your sire? Like a parent? MICK: Kind of. BETH: So do they tell you what to do, are you close forever? MICK: We'll like humans, some relationships are terrible, some are amazing. It can go a million different ways. There's no way to predict but something has gone terribly wrong with this one, that's for sure. BETH: I'll go through the wire reports, see if the cause of death matches any other recent murder victims. MICK: Beth. BETH: And will you ask the other vampires if they know anything? MICK: There's not like a big club house where we all hang out. BETH: Oh, okay, well, however it works. I'll deal with the cops and the computers. The other thing? You're the expert. MICK'S VOICE OVER: Time was I didn't even know vampires existed, let alone being an expert. But I know one thing: a rogue vampire won't stop killing on his own. CUT TO SUPERMARKET
[Mick is there investigating] MICK'S VOICE OVER: The first thing a newly turned vampire needs to do is feed. Problem is, if you don't know what you're hungry for, you'll try anything, and really, you're only looking for one thing: blood. City sidewalks are covered in all kinds of crap. Gum, bits of food, cigarette buds, spit, but I can always find the blood. That smell can't be mistaken for anything else, and vampire blood smells like no other. The vampire was here, and then there were two. This is where the rogue was sired. Poor guy probably didn't know what hit him. FLASHBACK
[LOS ANGELES, 1952]
[Mick is waking up after being turned] CORALINE: Don't be afraid. It's ok. MICK: What have you done? What have you done to me? CORALINE: Don't be scared, it's my wedding gift. I freed you. I freed you from death. MICK: Tell me what you did to me. CORALINE: I joined us forever. I know you don't understand. I've given you a gift. The greatest gift I can give. MICK: But I don't want this. CORALINE: I love you. I love you. MICK: You made me into a monster. CUT TO JOSEF'S APARTMENT
[Josef's playing mini golf and talking to Mick] JOSEF: I don't know, 'monster' may be a little extreme. MICK: Yeah? You didn't see the body. JOSEF: I gotta play with Tiger! Do you think Tiger would be up for a little night putting? MICK: It was pure carnage, man. JOSEF: Yeah, well, the blood loss can be really heavy when you're first turned, and you can really lose it. I know I did. Damn, those were good times. MICK: You know, a newly turned vampire is like a feral kitten. If you don't socialize it within the first few days, it's never gonna be able to live with humans. JOSEF: Well, if I were you, I would pay a visit to the cleaner. She knows where all the bodies are buried, so to speak. CUT TO STREET
[Mick is looking for The Cleaner] MICK'S VOICE OVER: I've never needed The Cleaner's services, however a lot of vampires don't share my moral code, but if vampires and humans are going to co-exist she's necessary to maintain the balance. THE CLEANER: Mick St. John. Don't tell me you need a clean up? MICK: No. What happened here? THE CLEANER: Mr. Sloppy and Mr. Stupid over there got a little carried away, offed their midnight snack. MICK: These two? THE CLEANER: Accidents happen, everyone feels bad, but at least they called for cleanup. Yes? MICK: Let's take a walk. Anything unusual about your recent calls? THE CLEANER: We've been a little busier than usual, couple of co-eds on the Westside last week. The week before that, a gang banger in Torrance. MICK: What about downtown, 1st and Main? THE CLEANER: Oh, yeah, last night. But that was a false alarm. MICK: What do you mean false alarm? THE CLEANER: Vampire called about an accidental kill. I hauled my guys all the way from the Westside, but when we got there, no vampire, no kill. I didn't even get out of the car. MICK: So did you, uh, get the name of the vamp who called it in? THE CLEANER: Come on, Mick. You know how it is. All calls are confidential, that's why the system works. MICK: Really? Because, uh, they left this behind. I'm gonna find him eventually. The reason there was no body there was because it got up and walked away. THE CLEANER: A turning? MICK: Gone rogue. If I don't find this guy, there's gonna be a lot more cleaning up to do with no one to pick up the tab. THE CLEANER: The vampire who called for cleanup is named Gerald Stovsky. You find this sire, call me. CUT TO NEWSROOM
[Beth is alone on the computer doing research on vampires] BETH: Dammit, Josh, don't sneak up on me like that! JOSH: I didn't sneak! Why are you so jumpy? BETH: I'm not jumpy. JOSH: Oh, what is this about? BETH: Oh, nothing. What time is it anyway? JOSH: Uh, it's late. I know you usually forget to eat so I picked up some Chinese: Kung Pao, extra spicy. BETH: You're the best. JOSH: I still don't know how you can eat that. BETH: Uh-oh. I know that look. JOSH: No look. It's just, you've been so busy, we haven't really talked about what's going on lately. BETH: What is going on? JOSH: Shooting a guy, P.I. buddy, your new obsession. BETH: Look, I know the last couple of weeks have been crazy. I've been juggling a lot with the new job, but it has nothing to do with you, with us. I promise. CUT TO LABORATORY
[Mick enters Gerald's office] MICK'S VOICE OVER: I traced Stovksy to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. It turned out he was a vampire and a rocket-scientist. MICK: Hi. GERALD: Hi. MICK: Yours? GERALD: My notes! Oh, thank you, I thought I'd lost them! MICK: Corner of 1st and Main last night, right? GERALD: Maybe. I go by there every night. MICK: There you go. Were you alone? GERALD: Yes, you know, I think I've finally gotten used to my solitary existence. Other vampires seem to avoid me, and human colleagues are, well, you know how that is. MICK: Right. Where were you coming from? GERALD: The Empress Pavilion. I love their barbecue pork buns. MICK: But we don't eat. GERALD: I know, but I sure used to love those buns. MICK: Anyway, last night, after your pork buns, what did you eat? And by 'what' I mean 'who'. GERALD: What? MICK: I found your pad in a pool of blood, and since you're a vampire I figured it's probably not a coincidence. GERALD: That wasn't my fault. As I said, I was just walking along when suddenly, out of absolutely nowhere, this car mows me over. MICK: So you attacked the driver? GERALD: Oh, no, no, no, I was in no condition. Fortunately a Good Samaritan came by. MICK: So you fed on him? GERALD: Drained him, I'm afraid. It was just an accident; I don't ordinarily feed on humans. I was just desperate and I...look, I called The Cleaner as soon as I got home! She should've disposed of the body, so... MICK: Did you check if the guy was dead before you left him there? GERALD: Yes, of course I checked, I mean, he wasn't moving. Why wouldn't he be dead, right? MICK: You screwed up. Some of your blood got into his system. You didn't kill him, you turned him. Then you left him there by himself, not knowing what he was and not knowing what to do. Now he's out there killing people. GERALD: Oh, my. Oh, dear. MICK: What do you remember about him? GERALD: Nothing much, it all happened so fast. It was dark. Ah, yes, he said something about being a, ahm...a doctor! No-yes, a doctor, a doctor. MICK: A doctor? GERALD: Yes. MICK: Are you sure? CUT TO HOSPITAL
[The rogue vampire is running in the parking lot. He sees his reflection in a car window] ROGUE VAMPIRE: What? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. [He sees a man walking] ROGUE VAMPIRE: Everything is gonna be okay, I'm a doctor! [He attacks the man] CUT TO HOSPITAL AGAIN
[Beth is there covering the story] BETH: Again, the details are sketchy, but the police appear to be treating this as a homicide. As of now, nobody knows who or what is responsible for the bloody crimes of the past few days. This is Beth Turner for Buzz Wire. CAMERA MAN: And we're out, good job. You really think this is related to the other murder? BETH: There's only one way to find out. LT. CARL: So what happened to holding the story? BETH: I did hold it. This is a different crime scene. Or are you telling me you think this is related to the convenience store murder? LT. CARL: Initially we thought this was a suicide. BETH: And now? LT. CARL: We decided it was unlikely that he chewed out his own throat before he took his leap. BETH: Was his blood missing? LT. CARL: Listen, Beth, we still don't know if this is a serial, okay? So don't you go giving this psycho a nickname. You name him, all the whack jobs come out of the woodwork. People start panicking. BETH: Carl, would I do that to you? LT. CARL: Yes, you would. [Beth sees Mick watching from a distance] MICK: I watched your report. You don't know 'what' did this? BETH: I didn't say 'vampire'. MICK: Came awfully close. BETH: In fact, by not saying it, I'm lying to people. MICK: Keep it up. BETH: Why do you think you can't trust me? MICK: I found the rogue vampire's blood on the corner of 1st and Main. I need you to use your police contacts to see if anybody has filed any kind of reports in the last couple of days. BETH: You're a private investigator; you don't have any contacts in the department? MICK: It takes time to develop a contact, years. People age, I don't. Cops especially tend to pick up on those kinds of details. It kinda makes long-term relationships with humans difficult. BETH: 1st and Main? I'll see what I can find out. MICK'S VOICE OVER: Part of me felt bad for the rogue. It's not easy being a newbie. Trust me. FLASHBACK
[LOS ANGELES, 1952]
[Mick is crawled up in a corner] CORALINE: There you are. MICK: Get away from me! [Coraline brings him a woman tied up] CORALINE: I know you're hurting. I brought you something that will make you feel better. MICK: No, take her away! CORALINE: You don't really want me to do that. MICK: Yes, I do! Make it stop. Make it stop, please. CORALINE: I can't, it's done. And it's gonna be so wonderful. MICK: You gotta kill me! I wanna die! CORALINE: No, you don't. You wanna live. [Coraline brings the woman's neck closer to Mick. Mick bites.] CUT TO A HOUSE
[A woman is parking the car in the garage. She gets out of the car and sees food all over the garage floor] WOMAN: What in the world? [She opens a refrigerator in the garage and sees the rogue vampire] WOMAN: Aah! Jeff, what are you doing in there? JEFF: I'm tired. I'm so tired. I needed some sleep. WOMAN: You were sleeping in the refrigerator? JEFF: Mm, the cold. Ah, it's nice, it feels good. WOMAN: Where are your clothes? JEFF: I didn't need them in there. WOMAN: Okay, honey, come inside. You've been under a lot of stress lately, taking on all those extra shifts. You're just exhausted. JEFF: Something's happening to me, something that I don't understand. WOMAN: Oh, Jeff, please, honey, let me call the hospital. You need help, you're sick. JEFF: I'm not sick! I'm sorry; I didn't mean to scare you. WOMAN: Everything's gonna be fine. I love you. JEFF: I love you, too. [They hug] JEFF: I'm just...so hungry. [He looks at her neck] CUT TO STREET
[Mick is driving, Beth is with him] BETH: I should be getting those police reports you wanted, but there's no cell coverage here. I'll try later. Chip? I go the ones without garlic. MICK: I can eat garlic. I mean, I could, if I ate. Food. But I don't eat food. BETH: Just blood? MICK: Didn't we just cover that? BETH: Can you fly? MICK: Mm-hmm. Just like Superman. BETH: Really? MICK: No. That'd be pretty cool though, wouldn't' it? BETH: Yeah. So, you know what you said earlier? Vampires really don't age? MICK: Really don't. BETH: So how old are you? MICK: It's not polite to ask people their age. BETH: That's just women. I know you must be older, but you look about 30. MICK: That's how old I was when I was turned. BETH: Wow. So when I was 2- MICK: I looked 30. When you're 82, I'm still gonna look 30. BETH: So how old are you really? MICK: I'm gonna be 85 this November. BETH: Immortality looks pretty good to me. MICK: Not from where I'm sitting. [Beth's phone beeps] BETH: Hmm, here we go. 'No police reports of a hit-and-run on 1st and Main.' No 911 hits either. Parking enforcement said they towed an abandoned car from that intersection that's registered to a Dr. Jeffrey Pollock. 2810 Hillside. MICK: Okay. CUT TO JEFF'S HOUSE
[Mick and Beth are entering] MICK: And 'wait in the car' means...? BETH: Yeah, 'cause that worked out so well last time! What's that smell? MICK: Blood. Stay close. [Mick turns on the light and they see Jeff's wife's body on the floor] BETH: Is she dead? Maybe she's not dead. MICK: She's dead. There's no heartbeat. BETH: You can tell that from here? Is she going to turn into a vampire, too? MICK: No, he didn't turn her. He just murdered her. We need to figure out where he's gone. [They start looking around the house] MICK: With every kill, Pollock becomes more dangerous. His bloodlust will only get worst. [Beth finds a picture of Jeff and his wife] BETH: It was his wife. He killed his own wife. They look so happy. You must've had a normal life before you became a vampire, a job, friends, family. MICK: I did. But once I was turned I became a danger to them all, I had to give them up. BETH: Were you married? MICK: Once. BETH: What happened? MICK: She died. BETH: Did you try and turn her into a- MICK: She's dead, period. BETH: Okay, sorry. MICK: You're not, trust me. [Mick finds some files on a desk] MICK: He works at Sacred Angels Hospital. We have to get there now. BETH: You think he'd feed on his patients? MICK: New vampires crave blood. Where better to find it than a hospital? [They hear the front door being shut] BETH: He's back. MICK: Stay here. Stay. BETH: Okay. [Mick finds Gerald in the living room looking at Jeff's wife's body] GERALD: You didn't... MICK: It was her husband, the vampire you turned. Are you tracking him? GERALD: After you left, I realized I had to make things right. I had to take the poor vampire under my tutelage, help him through the transition. MICK: You're too late, Gerald, he's out of control. GERALD: No, he's, he's just confused. MICK: He's not confused. He's feral. He's killed three people already. He has to be put down. [Gerald takes a wooden stake out of his jacket and stakes Mick. Mick falls to the floor paralyzed] GERALD: I'm sorry; I wasn't completely honest with you. I did remember the doctor's license plate; I am good with numbers after all. Please understand, I was never able to sire before. This mistake has given me something I've never had: a son, a companion. I won't let you take him from me. [Gerald leaves. Beth hears the door shutting again and goes to the living room] BETH: Mick? Mick, you still here? Oh, my God! Mick! Mick, Mick! MICK: Take it out. BETH: Oh, my God, you're alive. Wait, what did you say? MICK: The stake. Take it out. BETH: Uh, okay. Maybe it's like a piece of glass, you're supposed to wait- MICK: -Take it out! BETH: Okay! [Beth takes the stake out] MICK: Ouch. Thanks, I'll take that. BETH: I thought stakes were supposed to kill vampires. MICK: No, they only paralyze us. BETH: Are you gonna be okay? MICK: I heal fast. BETH: Did Pollock do this to you? MICK: No, it was his sire. We have to get to the hospital. CUT TO THE HOSPITAL
[Jeff is walking around looking for patients] MALE DOCTOR: Pollock! You missed it, man! Didn't know you were working tonight. JEFF: Missed what? FEMALE DOCTOR: Car wreck. Driver's radial artery was severed. MALE DOCTOR: I mean, look at this! FEMALE DOCTOR: I've never seen that much blood! JEFF: How much blood was there? FEMALE DOCTOR: What did I just say? A lot! MALE DOCTOR: You lucky guy, you were probably playing golf. FEMALE DOCTOR: Anyway, I got a patient down at 304 I gotta check up on. Can you cover the floor? JEFF: Yeah, sure. GERALD: Dr. Pollock? JEFF: Do I know you? GERALD: We need to talk. It's important. JEFF: I can't right now. I'm on call. [CUT TO MICK AND BETH AT THE HOSPITAL]
[They're running down a hallway] Mick: Hey, you seen Dr. Pollock tonight? MALE DOCTOR: Yeah, he's up on 4. You can't go up there! [CUT TO JEFF]
[He's in a room with a patient] PATIENT: You're not my doctor. JEFF: I'm covering for Dr. Duffy tonight. I'm gonna need to take a little blood. GERALD: Doctor, I need to speak with you! JEFF: Who are you? What do you want? GERALD: I'm here to help you. I'm your friend. JEFF: I don't need any friends. GERALD: Doctor, please! [Jeff pins Gerald to the wall. Gerald runs away and runs into Mick and Beth] GERALD: I can't stop him, he's insane! BETH: You created a killer vampire and just left him? What's wrong with you? [Gerald continues running and runs into The Cleaner and her boys] THE CLEANER: Gerald Stovsky. We need to talk. [CUT TO JEFF IN THE PATIENT'S ROOM]
[Mick walks in] MICK: Hey! Back away. Now. JEFF: I can smell you. You're like me. MICK: I'm nothing like you. JEFF: Yeah, you are. We're vampires, aren't we? The strength, the speed, the blood. I figured it out. MICK: You need to come with me right now. JEFF: I'm not going anywhere. Can't you smell how delicious it is? MICK: You don't have to kill to survive. JEFF: I like killing. Come on, I'll share! There's enough blood here for both of us! And they restock everyday. MICK: You can't feed here! We have rules! JEFF: There are no rules! I'm top of the food chain. MICK: These are people. They're human beings. You used to be a human, remember? JEFF: Not anymore. [Jeff attacks Mick. He runs away and Mick chases after him out of the hospital. They fight and Mick holds a stake to Jeff's heart] JEFF: No! I understand now! I'll stop killing! I'll go back to my old life. MICK: You can't. You destroyed it. [Mick stakes him] [CUT TO HOSPITAL]
[Beth finds Mick] BETH: Mick! Some woman came and took Gerald away! Pollock, you found him? MICK: And staked him. BETH: Should we call the police? MICK: Suggestions like that are why you shouldn't be here. BETH: But I thought you said a stake doesn't kill a vampire, it only paralyzes him. What should we do? MICK: Not 'we', me. BETH: You can't just kill him. MICK: He's already dead. BETH: After all this? MICK: No, Beth, okay? No. [Mick takes Jeff into the incinerator and burns him to death] CUT TO MICK'S APARTMENT
[Mick and Josef are talking] JOSEF: The incinerator. Damn. Remind me to never piss you off. MICK: I didn't have a choice. JOSEF: Well, like I'm judging you. I would've done the same thing, except I would've enjoyed it more. Hmm, you know, after all these years I still don't understand you. The bad guy was caught, justice was served, and you're sitting there like someone died. MICK: Actually, four people died. JOSEF: Collateral damage for a greater good, and Pollock was a danger to all of us, humans and vampires. MICK: I could've been like Pollock. If Coraline had let me go after she turned me, if she hadn't thought me how to survive as a vampire. JOSEF: Don't tell me you're saying something good about the ex? MICK: No. JOSEF: But you're still thinking about her. I'll tell you something I've learned in my four hundred years. Two Buddhists Monks are walking down a road, and they see a woman trying to cross a stream. The first Monk picks her up, carries her across, she says 'Thanks' and they go their separate ways, but the second Monk is spitting mad. After a couple more miles the second Monk speaks up, tells the first Monk, 'You violated the rules of our order when you carried that woman across the stream.' And the first Monk replied, 'I may have carried her across that stream, but you've been carrying her ever since.' MICK: I have. JOSEF: You stop carrying Coraline around, Mick. You can't change the past and you can't let it stop you from going forward. MICK: I know. I know. CUT TO BETH'S APARTMENT
[She's on the bed with Josh] MICK'S VOICE OVER: When you're asleep you should be unconscious and not even know there is anyone next to you, but somehow you do. CUT TO MICK'S FREEZER
[He's trying to sleep] MICK'S VOICE OVER: More than ever. CUT TO BETH'S APARMENT
[Mick knocks on the door] MICK: Hey. BETH: Mick. Do you wanna come in? MICK: No. I mean...you wanna know how I became a vampire? BETH: Yes. MICK: Okay. I told you I was married, right? BETH: Uh-huh. MICK: Well, she was a vampire. I didn't know. And on our wedding night, she turned me. I went to bed a happily married man and I woke up a monster. BETH: You're not a monster. MICK: Believe me, I was. BETH: You must find it hard to trust anyone now. MICK: You asked me if I trusted you. You're the first human that I've told any of this to, about who I am or what I am. So yeah, I trust you.
