How long can you stay outside? How much is too much?
Any is too much.
You're a delicate flower Mick St. John.
[Mick smiles and turns away]
“Fever” · Season 1, Episode 4
In this episode: Mick St. John (6), Beth Turner (2)
[Voiceover] When I was still human, I survived the Battle of the Bulge. Six weeks in a trench in the Ardennes - coldest winter I'd ever felt. My buddy lost a foot to frostbite. I thought that was hell... I was wrong.
[Mick has fled to the desert in a bid to protect Leni Hayes, a witness in a court case, and is lying in a bathtub, the life slowly sapping away from him.]
LLeni
We have to get you to a hospital. This is not just regular dehydration. Something is seriously wrong.
[delirious] No hospitals. Just keep trying to get a signal. Call the number I gave you. Ask for Beth. Just talk to her. Only Beth.
LLeni
Who is she?
I trust her.
LLeni
Hey, is she your girlfriend?
No! It's... complicated.
[Voiceover] What do you get when you put a vampire in the desert? Maybe no more vampire.
Mick. Mick. MICK. Stay with me. Stay with me! Mick. You burning up.
I better.. I die before I feed on her.
Mick, Leni is in the other room. She's fine.
I guess... I guess I'm a delicate flower.
I guess you are.
Take Leni back. Get her out of here. He's coming.
I'm not leaving.
You have to protect her now.
You're dying. [She's dropping the coat and bares her neck.] I don't know how to do this. But I know you need it, so...
No! Get out! Get out!
You need blood!
No, not yours!
Look...
Not like this!
...I want to do this.
[Voiceover] What would you do when the one thing you need to save your life is the one thing that would make life unbearable? [Both look to each other]
I know you won't kill me and I know you won't try to turn me either. I've got this vampire friend who has been explaining this stuff.
[Takes her forearm] At some point you're gonna have to stop me. [Sinks his teeth into her arm]
[Beth has been knocking on Mick's door. He won't open up. She rests her head against the door, and so does he.]
[Voiceover] Maybe it was her blood in my veins that let me feel her, the beating of her very living heart. Or maybe we've always been connected. Either way, being near me puts her in danger. So it has to stop.
[She pauses and leaves. So does he.]
