SStan
[entering the sanctuary with his vampires] Steve Newlin! You have pushed us too far. You expect us to sit on our thumbs while you round up your men to come lynch us? We'll kill you first. Same way we did your father.
SStan
[to the other vampires] Destroy them, all of them.
Godric[from the top altar, as the vamps swarm the sanctuary] Enough! You came for me, I assume. Underling?
[all movement stops]
Godric
These people have not harmed me. You see we can coexist. Mr. Newlin, I do not wish to create blood shed when none is called for. Help me set an example. If we leave you in peace, will you do the same?
I will not negotiate with subhumans! Kill me. Do it. Jesus will protect me.
Godric
I am actually older than your Jesus. I wish I could have known him, but I missed it. [to the armed congregation] Good people, who of you is willing to die for this man's madness? [silence] That's what I thought. Stand down, everyone. People, go home. It's over now.
It's alright. You're safe now.
NFNan Flanagan
Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made? And who has to fucking clean that up? Me, not you, Me. We should drain every one of you bastards.
Stan went to the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it.
NFNan Flanagan
Oh really? Because everyone who met Stan in the last three-hundred years knew that he had a kink about slaughtering humans. But you, his nest-mates, his sheriff has no clue.
And how were we supposed to know that this time he meant it?
NFNan Flanagan
Not my problem. [to Godric] Yours.
Don't talk to him that way.
NFNan Flanagan
[to Eric] Don't talk to me that way! [to Godric] Let's get to the point, sheriff. How'd they manage to abduct you?
Godric
They would've taken one of us sooner or later. I offered myself.
Godric
Why not?
NFNan Flanagan
They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?
Godric
What do you think?
NFNan Flanagan
I think you're out of your mind and then I hear about a traitor?
Godric
Irrelevant. Only a rumor. I'll take full responsibility.
NFNan Flanagan
You bet your ass you will!
Godric
[on the roof with Eric] Two thousand years is enough.
I can't accept this. It's insanity!
Godric
Our existence is insanity... we don't belong here.
Godric
It's not right. We're not right.
You taught me there was no right or wrong. Only survival or death.
Godric
I told a lie, as it turns out.
[stepping closer] I will keep you alive by force!
Godric
Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?
Godric
There are centuries of faith and love between us.
Please, please!... Please Godric!
Godric
Father... brother... child... Let me go.
I won't let you die alone.
Godric
Yes, you will. As your maker. I command you.
[Eric gets to his feet and walks to the stairs. Sookie reaches for him and he turns to her]
I'll stay with him. As long as it takes. [Eric leaves]
Godric
It won't take long. Not at my age.
You know it wasn't very smart. The Fellowship of Sun part.
Godric
I know. I thought it would fix everything some how. But I don't think like a vampire anymore... Do you believe in God?
Godric
If you're right, how will he punish me?
God doesn't punish. God forgives.
Godric
I don't deserve it, but I hope for it.
Godric
You will care for him? Eric.
I'm not sure. You know how he is.
Godric
I can take the blame for that too.
[smiling softly] Maybe not. Eric's pretty much himself... Are you very afraid?
Godric
No, no. I'm full of joy.
Godric
I want to burn.
[starts crying] I-I'm afraid for you.
Godric
A human with me at the end, and human tears. Two thousand years... and I can still be surprised. In this I see God.
[watches as he turns towards the sun and removes his shirt, holding his arms wide] ... Good-bye, Godric.
