Okay, I'm here to talk to you about...ehm.. you.
Maybe you should come in.

[Beth is knocking on Mick's door]
Beth.
Okay, I'm here to talk to you about...ehm.. you.
Maybe you should come in.
I really need you to tell me that I didn't see what I saw or what I think I saw the other night. The blood, the fangs. I heard what you said.
That I'm a vampire.
How am I supposed... Are you the only one or are there other vampires?
A few hundred here in L.A.
How can people not know you exist?
We're extremely careful. Sometimes people see things but they dismissed.
How can they?
No one believes them. [Mick gets up] People have been hunting us for thousands of years. So, it's extremely important that no one knows we exist. You understand?
[Beth nods to show she understand]
So, do you bite people's necks and suck the blood out?
Actually I.. I get most of my blood from the blood bank.
Oh. The red cross does not mention that in their literature.
I don't think they know.
Do you know how crazy this is? I trying really hard to wrap my mind around what you just said and what I saw.
Hey, I get it. It's a lot to get.
So, how does a person even become a vampire? How did you become a vampire?
A newly turned vampire is like a feral kitten, if you don't socialize it within the first few days, it will never be able to interact with humans.
That goes against every rule we have. A sire has to be responsible for whoever they turn, to help them through the transition.
[After Mick captures the vampire]
Should we call the police?
Suggestions like that are why you shouldn't be here.
Mr. Sloppy and Mr. Stupid over there got a little carried away off their midnight snack.
[gestures to two vampires and the clean-up who are carrying a headless body]
These two?
Accidents happen. Everyone feels bad, but at least they called the clean up.
[talking about the rogue vampire] Well, the blood lust can be pretty heavy when you're first turned. And you could really lose it. I know I did. Damn, those were good times!
[Talking to Mick about Coraline]
You can't change the past, and you can't let it stop you from going forward.
You wanna know how I became a vampire?
Yes.
Okay. I told you I was married, right? 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.
Were you married?
Once.
What happened?
She died.
Did you try and turn her into a ...
She's dead. Period.
Okay. Sorry.
You're not. Trust me.
The incinerator?! Damn. Remind me to never piss you off.
I didn't have a choice.
Well, like I'm judging you. I would have done the same thing. Except, I would have enjoyed it more.
Can you fly?
Just like Superman.
Really?
No. [pauses] It would be pretty cool, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
I need you to use your police contacts to see if anybody has filed any kind of reports in the last couple of days.
You're a private investigator. You don't have any contacts in the department?
It takes time to develop a contact. Years. People age. I don't. Cops especially tend to pick up on those kind of details.
I'll go through the wild reports. See if the cause of death matches any other recent murder victims.
Beth.
And you will ask the other vampires if they know anything.
There's not like a big club house where we all hang out.
