[PREVIOUSLY]
NORA: Are you Lilith?
BILL: I am Bill Compton. Though clearly, and something more.
TRUMAN: We are closing down, vampire run business. Take this sneaky son-of-a-bitch to camp.
WARLOW: Sookie, on the night your parents were killed, they were trying to kill you. I saved you.
ERIC: I like you to meet Willa Burrell.
WILLA: The vampire they arresting were taking to jail. They are studying you all.
ERIC: You wouldn't want to help me.
WILLA: I do.
HOLLY: Are you sure?
ANDY: They’re growing up so god dam fast.
JESSICA: Please tell me that I'm dead.
VIOLET: You're going to want me. There are women who would work for it.
NICOLE: My name is Nicole Wright. I am co-founder of the US Vampire Unity society.
SAM: Nicole's pregnant.
BILL: Get me Warlow blood. All the vampires in that white room that all be impervious to the sun, as I already am.
JASON: I don't want any more blood on my hands, not even yours.
WARLOW: Don't push me away.
REVEREND DANIELS: Mr. Mayor.
SAM: These infected vampires. Yeah, they’re dangerous. Bill Compton and I came up with a plan. Tonight, at Bellefleur's Bar and Grille, Arlene Bellefleur's been generous enough to offer to sponsor a mixer. Every single human, needs a vampire, and every vampire needs a human.
LETTI MAE: I am so sorry. Let me nourish my baby girl.
JESSICA: Came over for your protection.
ANDY: What if I don't want it?
JESSICA: You got it anyway.
BILL: May I have a moment alone with Sookie.
ALCIDE: Anything Bill has to say to you, he can say to me too.
SOOKIE: You heard the man.
ALCIDE: You smell that?
SOOKIE: Smell what?
BILL: I smell it.
BELLEFLEUR’S BAR:
Sookie’s heart is beating. Around her, people are screaming and shouting.
A VAMPIRE, to Sookie: What are you?
Alcide purchases him.
JASON: Come on! Jane, come on. You fuck!
WOMAN: Ah! Come on. Come on. Run!
REVEREND DANIELS: Lettie Mae! Lettie Mae! Hurry up!
SAM: Come on. Come on. Get in, hurry. Move.
LETTI MAE: I'm not moving.
TARA: Come on, Mama, we have to go. We have to get out of here.
LETTI MAE: They gonna kill us. They gonna kill us.
A vampire approaches the two women.
VAMPIRE: Oh, your mama's right.
Tara attacks him.
LETTI MAE: No, no, dear Lord, don't let me die here!
Nicole is trying to escape vampires. But one of them catches her.
VAMPIRE: Looks like we got two for the price of one. Come here!
NICOLE: Sam! Sam! Sam, he's taking me! Sam!
SAM: No!
Sam turns himself into a dog and purchases Nicole. Alcide follows him. Some vampires want to kill Sookie but a whistle stops them.
JASON: Sookie. I saw those Hep-Vs. They got Holly, Arlene. They even got Jane Bodehouse.
LETTI MAE, crying: They killed my Tara. They killed my baby girl.
******* Opening credits *******
ANDY’S HOUSE:
Andy’s phone rings, he answers.
ANDY: Bellefleur.
JASON: “They came, man. They attacked. They, they killed Tara, man. It's a fucking bloodbath over here.”
ANDY: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stackhouse, slow down.
JASON: “They took Holly, Arlene.”
ANDY: What'd you just say?
JASON: “The Hep-Vs, they ran off with them. Listen, Andy, I gotta go.”
Jason stops the conversation.
ANDY: Adilyn!?
ADILYN: Daddy?
ANDY: Hep-vamps showed up at Bellefleur's and all hell broke loose. They kidnapped Holly and a bunch of other people. I gotta go. You stay inside, no matter what. You understand me?
Andy leaves the house and meets Jessica behind the door.
ANDY: There's been an attack on Bellefleur's.
JESSSICA: I overheard what you said. Go. I'll make sure that Adilyn is safe.
ANDY: They killed your friend Tara. I don't think you heard that part. (to Adilyn). Do not invite her in. Do you understand me? No matter what.
Jessica starts to sob.
BELLEFLEUR’S BAR:
Sookie is sitting. She hears thinking.
THINKING: Leave me alone. I can't move. My legs ain't working.
LAFAYETTE'S THINKING: Can't fucking deal with this. I won't. I gotta get out of here.
LETTI MAE'S THINKING: I don't trust you, vampire. Stay away from me.
VINCE THINKING: Fucking vampire whore. Can't keep her legs shut. If I ran this town, none of this shit would be happening. Woulda thrown you out with the trash.
THINKING: Sookie Stackhouse, you shameful slut. You killed Jim sure as if you had stabbed him in the heart.
Andy arrives in the bar.
ANDY: Where'd they take them? Holly and Arlene, which way did they go?
BILL: They went south. Alcide went after them, and I'm pretty sure Sam did too.
Vince looks through the window and sees a dog turn into Sam.
WILLA: Miss Daniels, you need to drink my blood.
LETTI MAE: I ain't drinking vampire blood.
REVEREND DANIELS: No, no, no.
WILLA: But you're hurt and it will heal you, I promise.
Willa's fangs click.
SAM: We lost the scent at Caddo Creek.
ANDY: Great fucking plan Mr. Mayor. I know, let's have a fucking vampire-human mixer.
SAM: Shut your mouth. They got my baby girl.
ALCIDE: Hey, that's enough. We gotta figure out how to find them.
BILL: These Hep-V vampires, they'll be nesting.
ANDY: Nesting?
BILL: They'll be finding abandoned buildings with basements and no windows and they'll sleep there during the day.
ANDY, to Jason: You take Violet, go check out the old Reeves place on Route 9. I'm gonna go check the slaughterhouse.
BILL: I'll come with you.
ANDY: Like hell.
BILL: It's not safe. Every human needs a vampire.
SAM: We need to get these people home safe.
Sookie, near, hears Alcide’s thinking.
ALCIDE THINKING: I'll never understand how she can love the dead. If she had only walked away, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.
Sookie leaves the bar.
OVERLAPPING THOUGHTS ECHOING: Fucking vampire whore. Spread your legs You said you've been right. Look what it got you. How come you're still alive and my baby's dead? She stood there at Terry's funeral sayin' all this bullshit. Exterminate the fucking vampires.
James’s phone rings.
JAMES: Hello?
JESSSICA: “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
JAMES: No, I'm okay. Jess, they, they killed Tara.
JESSSICA: “Yeah, I know. I can't believe it.”
JAMES, sitting at a table: Wait, where are you?
JESSSICA: “Um I'm at the Bellefleurs'. I offered them my protection. I'm going to protect Adilyn.”
JAMES: Have you fed?
JESSSICA: It's okay, I'm, I'm not hungry.
JAMES: Jess, you have to eat.
JESSSICA: I, I'll see you later, okay?
JAMES: Yeah, okay.
They ring off. Sam is carrying The Reverend. Vince arrives.
VINCE: You're a dog.
SAM: What?
VINCE: I just saw you. You were a dog, you turned back into you. What the fuck was that about?
SAM: Look, Vince, when Mayor Norris passed, you and me fought a hard campaign against each other, so I don't blame you for sour grapes, but you tell these people their mayor's a dog? See, all that's gonna do is make you look crazy.
VINCE: Don't tell me I didn't see what I saw. You were a motherfucking dog.
SAM: God damn it, fine. All right, you saw what you saw. Take a look around this place, Vince. Folks here are barely holding on. We throw them another curveball, people are gonna panic.
VINCE: What the fuck are you?
SAM: I'll tell you everything, Vince, but not until we get through this. For the sake of the town we both love, I am begging you, please; can we keep this between us just for now? Please? (to everybody). Hey, listen up, everybody. It's not safe here. Those Hep-V vamps could be back any time. We need every vampire to take their assigned human back to the safety of their home. And there, if every Hep-V negative human would kindly feed their vampire in exchange for their protection, we got a better chance of making it through till the morning. Now, tomorrow morning, we're gonna meet up at Reverend Daniels' church to try and figure out how to help those folks who've been hit, so please spread the word.
BILL, to James: You have a human?
Bill shows Lafayette to James. James goes to see him.
JAMES: Come on. I'm gonna get you home.
Near, a man approaches Sam.
MAN: Let's get you home, Mr. Mayor.
SAM: No, thanks, man, I'm fine.
MAN: Every vampire a human. This was your plan. People need to see you sticking to it.
SAM: All right.
Sam and the man leave the bar.
THE CEMETERY:
Sookie is walking in the cemetery. Her phone rings.
SOOKIE: “Hey, this is Sookie. I'm not in right now. Please leave a message.”
ALCIDE: “Hey, where'd you go? I'm looking for you. We should head back.”
The phone rings again. Sookie takes it and throws it. She continues walking but she stumbles on a corpse.
MORROCO - MARRAKESH:
MAN 1: We watch "Deer Hunter." (Shouting in Arabic, chatter stops, speaking Arabic, crowd cheering, continues in Arabic). (to Pam). What is your name?
PAM: Go fuck yourself.
MAN 1: The lady "Go Fuck Yourself"! (he gives the gun to Pam.) Challenger go first.
Hammer clicks, crowd cheering. The man takes back the gun and gives it to Rachid.
RACHID: I've survived 27 times. 27.
Hammer clicks, crowd cheering. The man takes back the gun and gives it to Pam.
RACHID: Allah loves me. Does your god love you?
PAM: Nope, my god fucking hates me.
Hammer clicks, crowd cheering. The man takes back the gun and gives it to Rachid.
RACHID: The world is ending. You need to make peace with your god.
PAM: Everyone I love leaves, everything I touch dies, so forgive me if I don't share your faith in my Lord.
RACHID: He can save you.
PAM: Yeah, tell you what. Your god and my god can go to a motel and have a circle jerk for all I care. I'll be in Hell having a three-way with the Devil.
RACHID: Your words are hollow. I can see the love and pain in your eyes. Because this feeling, right now, makes you closer to God, no? Makes you know you're alive?
PAM: You're dead.
RACHID: No, I'm not. I'm alive.
Gunshot. Rachid dies. The crowd cheers. Pam goes to see a man.
PAM: So where the fuck is my maker?
MAN 1: This is who you have to see.
He gives her a paper and she leaves him.
ANDY’S HOUSE:
Adilyn is sitting. She stands up and walks in the house. She opens the window. Jessica is near.
JESSICA: What are you doing?
ADILYN: I'm sorry about your friend.
JESSICA: Thanks.
ADILYN: You can't come in here, though, right? Even though the window is open?
JESSICA: That's right. I can't come in without an invitation.
ADILYN: That's kind of a weird rule.
JESSICA: Yeah.
ADILYN: I heard what you said to my dad before. About not wanting to hurt me.
JESSICA: I meant it.
ADILYN: I have nightmares about that night.
JESSICA: Me too.
ADILYN: It's 'cause of my blood, right? I smell different to vampires?
JESSICA: Yes.
ADILYN: Do I still smell good to you?
JESSICA: Yes.
ADILYN: Are you gonna kill me?
JESSICA: No.
ADILYN: Well, what if you can't help it? I should hate you. But I don't.
Jessica sniffles.
ADILYN: Was that your boyfriend?
JESSICA: What?
ADILYN: On the phone, was that your boyfriend?
JESSICA: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
ADILYN: Well, what's he like?
JESSICA: He's, he's so loving and kind and gentle and he's hot, too. Yeah, he's, like, sexy as heck. Do you have a boyfriend?
ADILYN: There's this one boy, but I don't know.
JESSICA: What's his name?
ADILYN: Wade.
JESSICA: Holly's boy? You have a crush on Holly's boy?
ADILYN: No, not a crush exactly.
JESSICA: Yes, you do.
They laugh but someone arrives.
VAMPIRE: What is she?
JESSICA: She's mine.
SOOKIE’S HOUSE:
Sookie is sitting in the kitchen. Alcide comes in the house.
ALCIDE: You walked home alone. After what happened tonight, it ain't a question of whether these Hep-V vamps are out there in the woods looking for us. We know they're out there, Sookie. Why would you do that?
SOOKIE: I read your thoughts.
ALCIDE: What?
SOOKIE: I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to, but, I got no buffer tonight. And I can't, they just keep coming in…
ALCIDE: Sookie!
SOOKIE: …and I expect it from everybody else, but not from you.
ALCIDE: What?
SOOKIE: You're supposed to love me and support me, and even you are blaming me for this, blaming me for what's happened to this town and blaming me for Arlene being missing.
ALCIDE: No, I'm not.
SOOKIE: I read your thoughts.
ALCIDE: Sookie, it ain't fair.
SOOKIE: I know that.
ALCIDE: It ain't fair to judge me and push me away 'cause of something I thought.
SOOKIE: I know that, too.
ALCIDE: I love you.
SOOKIE: You're not telling me anything I don't already know because, newsflash, I can read your fucking thoughts, you get it? I'm sorry, it's my fucking curse to know the truth of what people think of me always, to feel the pain and the hurt and the ugly, ugly truth. Even you, even Jason, even Andy and Sam and every goddamn human in this town.
ALCIDE: Sookie, I…
SOOKIE: Tara's dead.
ALCIDE: I know. I'm sorry.
SOOKIE: No, I'm sorry. I need to be on my own right now.
ALCIDE: Okay.
Alcide leaves Sookie and he goes upstairs.
JASON’S CAR:
Jason is driving. Next to him, there is Violet.
JASON: How many people you seen die? How many?
VIOLET: I've lost count.
JASON: You know, me and Tara, we grew up together. She'd come over to our place all the time. She'd come running over with her skinny little legs whenever her mom would hit the bottle. That’s weird, huh? I mean, it feels like we should stop, don't it?
VIOLET: Jason.
JASON: What?
VIOLET: Somebody's here already.
JASON: The hell?
Jason stops the car and they leave it.
VINCE: Evening, Stackhouse.
JASON: Vince? What are you folks up to?
WOMAN: Hunting those H-vamps. They took Lou's brother.
JASON: All due respect, that's my job.
VINCE: All due respect, you aren't equipped. Now, the Feds might be, but they're all camped out in the big cities, which means Small Town America, well, we're on our own.
JASON: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen, we are all freaked out by the Armageddon-like situation that we got going on here, but you folks taking matters into your own hands? Well, that's just a shortcut straight to the morgue.
WOMAN: So the alternative is to, what, Jason? Put our faith in you? Or Sheriff Bellefleur and Mayor Merlotte?
MAN 1: If they took Caleb, we gotta get 'em back.
VIOLET: I would seriously put that gun down if I were you.
JASON: Violet, I got this.
MAN 1: Oh, so is that how it is? Is she the law now? Deputy vampire?
JASON: No, that's not how it is.
VINCE: You a fangbanger now, Stackhouse?
VIOLET: Jason is mine.
JASON: Violet.
VIOLET: So why don't you take your puny little guns back home and go fuck your depressed homey housewives with your tiny little dicks?
WOMAN: What if I don't have a dick? Can I stay?
VIOLET: Of course you can. But then I'll have no choice but to rip your fucking head off and use it as a candy dish.
JASON: Violet! Okay, now, why don't you folks go on, now?
VINCE: All right. All right, come on.
They leave the place.
JASON: What was that?
VIOLET: What? What?
LAFAYETTE’S HOUSE:
Lafayette opens the door.
LAFAYETTE: Oh, you can come in, I guess.
James comes in the house.
JAMES: I like your place.
LAFAYETTE: Yeah, it has a certain ghetto je ne sais quoi. I know you got to eat, but it is motherfucking mandatory that I get my brain out of this plane of existence right the fuck now. So gimme a sec while I get altered and then I'll give you lunch.
JAMES: Can I?
LAFAYETTE: So, you Jessica's man, right?
JAMES: Yep.
LAFAYETTE: She cool.
JAMES: I am sorry about your cousin.
LAFAYETTE: You know, I feel relieved. How fucked up is that? I guess because I grieved the first time she died. The second time she died, I don't feel nothing inside.
JAMES: All my friends died in Vietnam. All of them. Their bodies would be brought home on this plane. Wood coffins, a flag draped over top. A notification officer and a chaplain would show up in town. And they'd drive down the road in their Ford Galaxy and all the moms and all the dads would come out on their front porch and they would hold their breath and wait to see which house the officer stopped at.
LAFAYETTE: You served?
JAMES: I was a draft dodger, a pacifist. I don't believe in violence in any form.
LAFAYETTE: If I had lived then, I'd be right there with you.
JAMES: One day, I was home for Christmas and the officer came to my best friend's house. Danny Monoghan. He lived right across the street. Danny and I, we were, well, he was…The officer delivered the news that Danny had died during the Battle of Hue, mortar attack. So I went across the street to pay my respects to Danny's family. Danny's dad, Mr. Monoghan, he grabbed Danny's old Louisville Slugger. It's the same bat Danny and I had used all through high school. And he beat me with it right in the middle of the street.
LAFAYETTE: Fuck.
JAMES: Called me a "hippie faggot" and just left me there to die. This vampire in town took pity on me made me a vampire that night. So, if you ask me, there's zero point in feeling pain or fear, grief or regret. You can laugh, you can cry, you can smoke out. It doesn't matter. To Tara or to the universe, it makes no fucking difference.
LAFAYETTE: You are one metaphysical fuck. So, homey. Gimme your best shot.
James seats next to Lafayette and starts to drink his blood.
STREET:
Jason gets out of the car.
JASON: What the fuck?!
VIOLET: Get back in the car. It's not safe out here. What are you doing?
JASON: I am a man. I'm a fucking officer of the law. You left me standing with my dick out back there. How do you think that makes me feel?
VIOLET: I don't know, Jason. How does that make you feel?
JASON: You won't let me fuck you. You won't let me do my job. You fucking feed on me every night. This is bullshit! My balls are so fucking blue, they're about to fall off.
VIOLET: Well, what are you going to do about it, huh, Jason?
JASON: I'm gonna fuck you. And you're gonna fuck me back. We're gonna fuck together. You hear me, woman? Let's fuck! For fuck's sake!
VIOLET: It's about fucking time, Jason. I've been waiting.
Jason removes Violet’s clothes and they start to make love.
ANDY’S HOUSE:
VAMPIRE: Come on out, baby girl! I don't bite!
JESSICA: Shut the fuck up!
VAMPIRE: Why she smell so good? You had a taste? I get that you wanna keep her all to yourself. Sink your teeth into that sweet flesh. But didn't your mama tell you it's nice to share?
JESSICA: You cross that line and I will fucking kill you!
VAMPIRE: Me? I'm dying anyway. Got nothing to lose.
Adilyn opens the window.
JESSICA: Close the window!
ADILYN: He can't hurt me, you said. Not if I don't invite him in.
JESSICA: I said that he couldn't come inside. I never said that he couldn't hurt you.
VAMPIRE: We could share her. We could fuck her.
JESSICA: I need you to drink my blood.
ADILYN: What?
JESSICA: Listen, if you drink my blood, even one drop, I will always know where you are and I will always be able to protect you. Okay?
ADILYN: No.
JESSICA: You're gonna have to trust me.
ADILYN: I trusted you before.
Adilyn drinks Jessica’s blood. The vampire approaches.
JESSICA: You stay the fuck back!
VAMPIRE: I'm gonna taste that little girl before I die.
REVEREND’S HOUSE:
LETTIE MAE, standing up: Oh, sweet Jesus. I can see her.
REVEREND DANIELS: Honey, it's gonna be all right.
LETTIE MAE: My Tara's talking to me. Tara? Tara? Tara, baby? I'm right here.
WILLA: What's wrong with her?
REVEREND DANIELS: She's high on your blood.
LETTIE MAE: I'm right here baby.
WILLA: I didn't give her that much.
REVEREND DANIELS: Go around the other side.
WILLA: Mrs. Daniels, you gotta calm down.
LETTIE MAE: She ain't in Heaven. She needs our help.
REVEREND DANIELS: That's the vampire blood talking. Honey, come on, come on.
LETTIE MAE: She can't speak. She ain't saying any words. Tara is on the other side, you see? She ain't in Heaven.
REVEREND DANIELS: Honey, listen to me.
LETTIE MAE: She needs me.
REVEREND DANIELS: No, no, that's the vampire blood talking now. Shh, I want you to quiet down. That's it, quiet down. Now, lay down. Lay down.
LETTIE MAE: Tara, I'm right here. Tara, I'm right here.
REVEREND DANIELS: Shh.
LETTIE MAE, lying on a sofa: I won't leave you.
REVEREND DANIELS: Shh. Yes.
Lettie Mae is sleeping now. The reverend seats.
REVEREND DANIELS: Tara ever tell you about her, her mother's issues?
WILLA: I know a little bit.
REVEREND DANIELS: No more blood for her, you understand?
WILLA, sitting: Of course.
REVEREND DANIELS: It'll be out of her system by morning. Thank you, for your help.
WILLA: I've got nowhere to go. Eric's gone. Pam's gone. And I was rooming with Tara, but I, I can't go back there. I can't sleep there with all of her stuff and her smell with her just being gone.
REVEREND DANIELS: Lord, Lord, Lord. You a lost sheep, ain't ya? Come with me.
They leave the house and they go in another building.
REVEREND DANIELS: Lord knows it ain't much but it's light-tight. You can stay as long as you'd like. I'll see you tomorrow night. You sleep now, sweetheart.
WILLA: Thank you.
Reverend Daniels leaves her.
MORROCO - MARRAKESH:
Pam is walking in the bar she sees a woman with who she speaks Arabic.
PAM: I’m looking for Najat.
The woman shows her a man. She gives him the paper. The man gives it her back. Pam gives money.
MAN 1: Sami.
A little girl approaches.
MAN 1: My daughter for you. She is no sick.
PAM: While your daughter does look delicious, I'll pass.
MAN 1: When was last time you feed?
PAM: I'll be fine. Just the information, please.
The man gives her a paper, a map.
PAM: There must be some mistake.
MAN 1: No mistake.
PAM: He would never…
MAN 1: My information is accurate. What you do is your choice.
Pam leaves the man.
SOOKIE’S HOUSE:
Sookie comes in her bedroom. She undresses near the bed and go on it.
SOOKIE: Hey. I'm sorry.
ALCIDE: It's okay. I love you.
SOOKIE: I love you, too.
They kiss each other.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE:
Andy and Bill get out of the car.
ANDY: This place closed down a year ago. Used to find kids partying in here all the time.
They come in the bulding. They walk and they see a bloody bed.
BILL: They've been nesting here.
They continue to walk.
ANDY: Holly!
They arrive in front of a tissue door. It stinks. The two men come in and they see corpses, hanged by their feet. Andy vomits.
ANDY: Jesus Ch…
He leaves the room.
ANDY: Hey, hey!
VINCE: Don't move!
Bill leaves also the room. He meets Vince, a woman and two guys.
MEN 1, MEN 2, WOMAN: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Vampire!
VINCE: Hold on, hold on. Stay right where you are Mr. Compton.
BILL: What seems to be the problem?
VINCE: Don't look him in the eyes, y'all.
ANDY: All right, everybody calm down, all right? We're all on the same side here.
MAN 1: Like fuck we are. They took my brother.
ANDY: They took my Holly.
VINCE: Well, then it serves you right. Yeah. "For every human a vampire"? "For every vampire a human"? Look at what they're doing to people. You and Mayor Merlotte, you stood up there in church and you told us to trust the vampires. Now people we love are dead! Our friends have been taken!
BILL: It's me that you want. The mixer was my idea. Mine and Mayor Merlotte's.
VINCE: He ain't my mayor.
BILL: Now maybe you didn't notice, but the sheriff wasn't at Bellefleur's tonight. Not until he got the call about what happened. He was at home in protest. You let him go; you can do what you want with me.
VINCE: All right, then. Why don't you get outta here, Andy? And don't look back 'cause you don't wanna see what's coming next.
ANDY: Well, that's where you're wrong. I do wanna see it. This vampire and me, there's a history here and it ain't a good one. If you're gonna end him, I deserve to be the one to do it.
VINCE: What'd he do to you?
ANDY: That's between him and me.
VINCE: Okay, Sheriff, do it. We could use you on our side.
Andy takes the gun. He first point Bill, but suddenly he turns to a man.
ANDY: What's your name, son?
LOU: Lou.
ANDY: Listen to me, Lou. I want you to forget the fact that I'm the sheriff of this parish for just a second. Firing a weapon at another human being is a big fucking deal. When you do it, when you pull that trigger, you are crossing a line you can never come back from. Pull it. Your life's never gonna be the same. You be sure this is what you wanna do 'cause I will pull my fucking trigger, Lou. I've done it before and I'll do it again. So help me, God, I will.
Lou puts down his gun.
ANDY: Get the hell outta here. Go on, go home. It's not safe.
MEN 1: I can't believe you're just gonna stand by and let these H-vamps kill our town.
ANDY: Ain't nobody standin' by.
MEN 1: It's to be continued.
ANDY: No, son, this shit's over. Get!
The group leaves Bill and Andy.
VINCE: Come on. Man, he's drunk anyway.
FANGTASIA:
Someone is lying on the ground. Vampires are feeding on him. Arlene, Holly, Nicole and a police officer are in the cellar.
ARLENE: Jesus Christ!
POLICE OFFICER: We ain't never gonna make it outta here. Not ever. Bon Temps got a police force of five people and I'm one of them.
HOLLY: That is not true. Andy's gonna find us.
POLICE OFFICER: We are in Shreveport! In the basement of some fangbanger bar! How they gonna find us in time?
ARLENE: Oh, my God! I can't die down here. I've got kids.
HOLLY: No, no, no, no. You've gotta keep your head up, Arlene. You hear me? I can't have you losing it on me. (to Nicole). Hey, hey, hey, it's gonna be okay.We're gonna be okay.
NICOLE: I can't feel her. I don't think she's…
HOLLY: She's gonna be okay. She's just fine.
The door opens. Someone comes: it’s a vampire.
ARLENE: Oh, God!
HOLLY: Keep your head down and be quiet.
ARLENE: We're all gonna die. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
The vampire heads for Arlene.
ARLENE: Oh, please, God. Please. Oh, God, please don't. Please, please. Please, please, don't. Please, please, please, don't kill me. Please, please, please. Oh, please, please don't. Please don't. Oh, God.
The vampire heads for Kevin.
POLICE OFFICER: Oh, no. No. No fucking way. Oh, no. You don't have to do this.
The vampire takes him and feed himself with him.
BILL’S HOUSE:
Andy and Bill are in the car.
BILL: Look, I wanna say thank you for what you did back there.
ANDY: I saved your miserable hide because I need your help to get Holly and Arlene back. But we are not good. We will never be good. There ain't nothing in this world can make right what you done to me and my family. So save your thanks.
Bill gets out of the car. Andy leaves him. Bill has a flashback.
[FLASHBACK]
Bill sees all his family under the porch.
SARAH COMPTON: Bye, Daddy.
Bill stands up and kisses all his family. The flashback ends. Bill goes in his house.
ANDY’S HOUSE:
ADILYN: Dawn's coming.You should go.
VAMPIRE: You're willing to die for her?
JESSICA: I am not leaving.
Adylin opens the door.
ADILYN: We have an attic!
JESSICA: No!
ADILYN: You're gonna die out here!
JESSICA: You stay inside. Do not invite me in.
ADILYN: I trust you.
JESSICA: You shouldn't.
ADILYN: Jessica, I invite you in.
JESSICA: Fuck.
Adilyn leaves the house.
ADILYN: I invite you in!
Jessica runs to the house and takes Adilyn.
VAMPIRE: No! No! Let me in, you fucking bitch! Let me in! Come on, lady! I've gotta make her mine! Let me in! You bitch!
Jessica smells Adylin. She goes in the attic because the dawn is near. The vampire takes fire.
VAMPIRE: No! No! No!
CHURCH:
REVEREND DANIELS: Yes, brothers and sisters, it has been night a long, long time. But when I got up today, I prayed to God. I asked Him for guidance. I strained to listen. And He told me, "Morning is coming." Yes, He did. Morning is coming. Let the church say, "Amen."
ALL: Amen.
Sookie arrives in the church, she seats. Everybody is looking at her.
REVEREND DANIELS: You have to believe me, children of God, that when you stay with the Lord, if you cling to Him, if you abide in Him, well, then, He'll let you catch a glimpse of the morning. It's hard to know what to say. Our community has been raided.
LETTIE MAE: Don't you put your hand on me, Sookie Stackhouse. It's your fault my baby's dead. She always went running to you. And you led her down the path to Hell. You are not welcome in this house of God.
Sookie ears thinkink.
OVERLAPPING THOUGHTS ECHOING: Fucking slut. Vampire-fucking bitch. Why don't you run back to your vampire lover? I wanna fuck you, vampire fucker. Has she no shame? Get out, you stupid cunt. I wish she would leave. Vampires flock to you like geese. I'm wanna fuckin' kill you. How long can I stay off? Stab you through the heart. Run you out of town. You don't belong here.
SOOKIE: I can hear you. (voices stop) I can hear each and every one of you. At least Lettie Mae's got the decency to say what she thinks to my face. I've lived in Bon Temps my whole life. And I love this town, and I've known all of you my whole life. And even though most of you hate me, I love just about everybody here. And I know what most of you think of me, that some of you blame me for what's happened. And you're not wrong. I played a part, but we can't go back to the way things were and I can't save those who have been lost. But some of our friends and loved ones are fighting for their lives right now, and for better or for worse, nobody in this town knows vampires better than me. I wanna help. Please let me help.
