Previously on Let the Right One In...

[MATTHEW] Roland's body
was found today in a sewer.


We think he might've been
att*cked by users.


There wasn't much of him left.

Apparently, he had some product
on him when he was found.


[NAOMI] Your father's
painkiller has been linked


to several murders.

I can only guess how many protocols

you've just violated showing me that.

That's all you have to say?

We're so f*cked.

[PETER] I'm just worried about Chris.

He's mine, Claire.

I made him.

[CLAIRE] The things I'm doing
are irreversible.


Peter, you can't do this.
You know that. Think about it.


You were gonna k*ll him.

[CLAIRE] It's too dangerous.

[THUDDING]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[SCREAMING]

[GASPING LOUDLY]

Hi there. Is your mother home?

She's a cop.

That's not what I asked.

[MARK] Keep the door locked
when you're home alone.


- [ISAIAH] Okay.
- All right.


I figured it out.

The woman in charge.

- How did you figure this out?
- I didn't. It was Naomi.


I thought you said you liked her.

She's a homicide detective.

- She cares about me!
- She's not your f*cking mother!


Your mother d*ed so you could live.

I'm so sorry

for what I said. I would give
anything to take it back.


- [GASPS]
- [BOTH GRUNT]


[BELL TOLLING]

[HAUNTING MUSIC]

[FATHER SEAN] You should
have listened to me.


I told you God had a plan
for your daughter,


but you decided your plan
to cure her was...


more important.

Well, what was I supposed to do?

Let my child suffer?

He did.

Just out of curiosity,

what did you think was gonna happen

when you knocked on that door?

You thought they'd say,
"Sure, we're happy to help"?


Those people are brutal K*llers.

Just like you.

[BELL TOLLING]

I gave you a chance to atone.

Now it's time to pay for your sins.

[MATTHEW] Wake up.

[MUFFLED COUGHING]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

I'm gonna ask you some questions,

and if you tell the truth,

there is a chance that you
walk out of here alive.


Nod if you understand.

You should go home and sleep.

Do you want me to go?

No.

Then I'll stay.

I just have to sneak back home

before my mom wakes up in the morning.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Why does your phone keep doing that?

[SIGHS] Voice mail.

From my dad.

Are you gonna listen to it?

Maybe he called to say he's sorry.

Doesn't matter.

What did you guys fight about?

[MARK] You can't forget reality
just because you met a boy you like.


- I love him.
- Are you insane?!


Do you know how many people
I've k*lled to bring you dinner?


Your mother d*ed so you could live.

Don't ask me that.

Well,

I'm sure whatever he said...

he didn't really mean it.

Yes, he did.

[MATTHEW] People say
t*rture doesn't work.


But it all depends on the execution.

Please, I have to speak to Claire Logan.

Yeah, we'll get to her soon enough.

But right now,

I just feel like I'm in the dark.

Because the last time I saw you,

you showed up at my place of
business claiming you were a chauffeur.


And I sent my friend,

my brother in arms,

to check up on you.

And he ended up dead in a f*ckin' sewer.

Yeah, someone just...

left him there.

Can you believe that?

After they tore his body to pieces.

Yeah.

He was Cyrus's brother, too.

[WHIMPERS]

Please, I'm begging you.

You have to let me
speak to Claire Logan.


I will tell her everything.

No, no, no, please, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, please, no!


f*ck!

F-F-f*ck!

sh*t!

I feel like I was clear on the protocol.

I ask questions.

You answer them.

- Are you police?
- No.


Then how do you know
Detective Naomi Cole?


Who?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

She's-she's-she's my neighbor.

But, but, uh...

[STAMMERS]

I barely know her.

We just live in the same building.

Do you know if she has any children?

This detective, she's causing
some problems for me


and the people that I care about.

I need to know
if she has any pressure points.


I have no idea if she has any children.

And-and she has nothing to do

with why I'm looking for Claire Logan.

[STAMMERS] As I said before,
I barely know that woman.


You just live in the same building.

Yes.

Which apartment is yours?

Which apartment...

is yours?

[GRUNTING]

Told you t*rture can be effective.

I know that you know her.

I know that you know her son.

I know you live
in the apartment next door.


I just needed to know
if you lived alone.


And you just told me that there
is someone at your place.


No.

And that you care more
about what happens to them


- than what happens to you.
- No, no, no, no, no,


no, no, no, no, no. [STAMMERS]

I haven't told you anything.

Yeah. It's not just recon.
It's an extraction.


Most likely a woman or child.

Bring them back to the
stash house, preferably alive.


Your keys were on you
when I knocked you out.


My guy's already outside your building.

m*therf*cker...

You should listen to it.

My dad made...

all kinds of mistakes, but...

...I would give anything
to hear his voice.


Is he gonna be back soon?

I don't know.

I just... don't want him
to get mad that I'm here.


He's already mad.

I told him you know about me.

Why?

'Cause he said you...

wouldn't like me if you
knew what I really am.


[ELEVATOR DINGS]

That's Dad. Stay here.

Suspenseful music

[WHISPERS] That's not my dad.

[DRAWER OPENS, CLOSES]

[LINE RINGING]

[MATTHEW] Yeah?

Looks like the subject
does live with someone.


There's only one bed,
but there's some girly sh*t


in the bathroom and a...

photo of him with a woman
and a little girl.


Yeah, you get him talking yet?

[MATTHEW] Yeah, we're just
getting started here.


Oh, and this guy must be,
like, a shut-in or something,


'cause all his curtains
are taped shut to the wall.


Tell me right now why you want
to talk to Claire Logan.


'Cause I know what her brother is.

She's going to want to talk to me.

[PHONE CHIMES]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Hi, kid.

[PANTING]

- [GRUNTS]
- Eleanor!


[GAS HISSING]

[PHONE BUZZING]

[EXHALES]

- Are you okay?
- [LAUGHS]


I'm sorry, Claire.

I should've listened.

You were right. You're always right.

[STAMMERS] I had no idea
he would ever try to hurt you.


You chose him over me.

[EXHALES]

[SNIFFLES]

What did you do with...

...Chris?

I, uh...

I left him in the lab.

What?

You said you wanted to do
some experiments postmortem.


[LAUGHS]

Oh, I'm done, Pete.

Oh. Okay.

Um...

well, then if it's okay
with you, I think I'll...


bury him in the backyard.

And next time, I-I won't get
attached or anything.


- I promise.
- There won't be a next time.


I said I'm done.

[GAS HISSES]

We have about minutes
until he wakes up.


What are you gonna do with him?

I don't know. I just need
a minute to figure this out.


You're not gonna k*ll him...

- are you?
- No.


- I don't know.
- Eleanor.


I don't know.
- You said you've never


- k*lled anyone.
- I haven't!


Does your dad k*ll people?

That's how you get the blood.

If he didn't, I would be dead.

Look, I know you thought it was cool

that I was... what I am.

But it's not.

It's a nightmare,
and I have to live every day


knowing that I ruined my dad's life.

Well...

you saved mine.

I'm the reason you're in danger.

He came here 'cause of me.

Yeah. But...

it's not just him.

I know it was you
who broke Abel's finger.


He was never gonna stop hurting me.

Until you made him stop.

These are my dad's keys.

You have to go home now.

But I don't want to leave you alone.

It's okay.

I know what I have to do now.

You're gonna save your dad, aren't you?

I'm gonna try.

Well, maybe I can help you.

You can't. You have to go.

Eleanor?

I love you.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[LINE RINGING]

I got to go.

- I'll be back soon.
- Hey.


That m*therf*cker really did Roland?

He might still be useful.

Don't k*ll him.

[SIGHS]

[EXHALES]

I have orders not to k*ll you.

But...

I promise...

...you're gonna wish you were dead.

[MARK] Maybe you'll have a child.

And...

you'll experience a joy

beyond all understanding,

and then you'll understand.

You make me happier and prouder

than you'll ever know.

And there is nothing

I would not do for you.

- Now and always.
- [JARED COUGHING]


Where are you keeping my dad?

You're the one who jumped me?

You're just a f*cking kid.

Where... are you keeping my dad?

You're gonna want to let me out of this.

Now.

My crew knows where I am.

And when they get here, th...
Hey, hey, hey.


Just point that thing
somewhere else, okay?


You don't even know how to use it.

I watch TV.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

How'd you get here? Do you have a car?

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, take it easy, easy.

Easy.

I'm gonna cut you loose
so you can take me to my dad.


But if you try anything, you're
not gonna like what happens.


[MATTHEW] Claire?

Claire!

Thank God.

W-What happened?

The subject we infected...

Peter let it out
and it almost k*lled me.


Oh, my God. I should have been here.

Well, you weren't.

But I still have a job and a life

- I can go back to, so...
- Claire, listen.


I'm sorry to leave you alone
with all this.


- I really, really am.
- Claire.


There's no talking me out of this.

I think I found another vampire.

This guy, this...

I thought he was after our
business, but it turns out...


...I think he's protecting
another vampire.


He knows about Peter.

And he knows about you.

It's too bad Eleanor's not here.

It's a shame

to let all this good blood go to waste.

Where, where's the guy?

Cigarette break. I think all
that torturing tired him out.


Piece of sh*t.

Is what he did to you all that different

than what you've done to others?

I never did this.

You tied that boy's father to a chair,

put duct tape over his mouth,

and after he begged to see
his son, you slit his throat.


And despite that...

despite all that you've done...

...God will still forgive you.

And all you have to do

is be truly sorry.

I am... sorry.

And swear to Him that you
will never k*ll again.


I ca... I can't.

Play the odds here, man.

You and I both know you're not
getting out of this room alive.


It doesn't matter.

I can't make that promise.

Even though it will cost you your soul.

I've kept Eleanor's soul clean.

That's enough.

What happens after you're gone?

She's gonna have to choose for herself.

[ECHOING] Sin or starve.

But that's her choice to make.

It never should have been yours.

- She's just a child.
- Who was born


years ago.

Before you die...

...try to see her...

just once...

as she truly is.

[BELL TOLLING]

I'll pray for you.

[DOOR OPENS]

Oh.

Hey.

[EXHALES] This thing
must be charged by now.


- [CRACKLING]
- Huh?


[PHONE BUZZING]

How close are we?

Getting pretty close.

Why, you having second thoughts?

You know it's f*cking nerve-racking

having a g*n pointed at you
for this long.


What if your finger slips?

You are something else, you know that?

And you got a lot of potential.

And I'll tell you what you don't have.

You're not a k*ller.

You don't ever want
to be the kind of person


who could ever pull that trigger.

Okay?

So why don't you
just put that g*n down...


f*ck!

I can put down the g*n if I want.

'Cause I don't even need it.

[GASPS]

[PANTING]

What the f*ck is with your eyes?

Keep driving.

How does this guy know about Peter?

[MATTHEW]
That's what we have to find out.


It's got something to do with that cop.

The woman?

Yeah.

I thought you were...

I thought you were taking care of that.

It'll happen.

First this guy, then her.

Why do you think
he's protecting a vampire?


I know the type.

That could be useful.

Sounds like you're staying.

I don't know.

[FAINT SNORING]

Mom?

[GASPS]

Where were you?
What's-what's the matter?


Do you still pray every night?

Did you, um...

did you have a nightmare?

No.

I haven't prayed much in a while.

Did you feel like...

...God wasn't listening?

What's wrong, baby?

I just don't want to do it
if there's no point.


I don't know...

if God listens.

But I used to pray when I felt...

there was nothing else I could do.

Is that how you feel now?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[BUZZER SOUNDING]

He's in there.

Are you sure you want to do this?

You still got time to run.

Get out.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[ISAIAH] Please take care of Eleanor.

Please take care of Eleanor.

[JARED] Get the restraints.

Come on, don't hurt her! Let her go!

- What did you do to him?
- I'll-I'll tell you


anything you want.

Please, let her go. She's just a child.

Are you okay, Dad?

You're-you're bleeding.

It's not mine.

[CLAIRE] What's going on?

[MATTHEW] Someone left the gate open.

Stay here, just lock the doors.

Stay low. Okay?

Be careful.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOOR OPENS]

Stay where you are.

Now, turn around, nice and slow.

- Do it!
- [WHISPERS] Don't do it.


Do it, or I k*ll your father.

I'm gonna throw you these handcuffs.

Please don't.

[MATTHEW] Put them on.

Do it.

[PAPERS RUSTLE]

[SIGHS] sh*t.

Sir.

Before you say anything,
I just want to be clear that


any abrasive handling
of Ms. Logan yesterday


was completely my fault.

Ben had nothing to do with it.

If there's any disciplinary action

that needs to happen here,

it should begin and end with me.

The f*ck you talking about?

Debra Harper.

I'm with Interpol.

Naomi Cole.

[LIEUTENANT] Why don't you two
get up to speed.


What was that about
you badgering a witness?


[SCOFFS] It was this rich white woman.

I thought for sure
she'd call and complain.


In these jobs, you got to
find the fun where you can.


You submitted prints
from an AA coin you found


at a suspected crime scene,
and no other evidence.


That's right.

What made you think to look there?

It's where someone connected to
the drug trade had gone missing.


My ex-husband.

I get that.

I put a tracker on my ex's car.

That's how come he's my ex.

He still missing?

It turns out,

the second set of prints
you found on that coin


is linked to
two unsolved murders in Canada.


One just outside of Montreal.
The other one in Manitoba.


[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

I'm guessing
you'd like to see those files.


I'm guessing you'd like to see mine.

[DEBRA] The two murders happened
, kilometers apart.


This guy moves around.

What makes you think it's a guy?

Let's be real, it's never not.

Hmm. Who were the victims?

Mm. Well, here's where it gets good.

They were both registered sex offenders.

And do yourself a favor,

do not look at what was
on their computers.


My husband was, uh...

Well, he was a lot of things,
but he was not a sex offender.


So, are we looking for a vigilante?

Or a serial k*ller
with compulsive behavior.


'Cause, uh... [SCOFFS]

Here's the thing:

both these sick fuckers
d*ed of a slit carotid artery,


but they didn't just bleed out.

They were drained.

And now he turns up in New York.

[DEBRA EXHALES SHARPLY]

If he's been active for years,
across time zones,


I will bet you a steak dinner
he's got more victims out there.


We should look through
old missing persons reports.


Any other men
who fit the victim profile.


I'm game if you are.

- You okay to stay late tonight?
- Yeah.


Can I talk to you for a second?

I'm gonna go
hit up your vending machine.


The LT just talked to me.

He thinks we've gone way off track.

[SCOFFS] I get it.

He thinks I'm not objective.

I'm not gonna stop.

I don't care if I get fired,

but I care very much if you do.

So I'm leaving you out of it.

You have no idea what I'm doing.
You understand?


I feel like I'm abandoning you.

No, I'll be fine.

Interpol angle gives me some cover.

- Don't do anything stupid.
- [CHUCKLES]


I may not be objective,
but I am not stupid.


[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Okay, go, before you start
trying to hug it out.


[BOTH LAUGH]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

It should heal...

as long as you don't get an infection.

I heard you talking on the phone.

Was that Uncle Zeke?

Yeah.

- He's gonna help us.
- I wish he didn't have to.


We already ruined his life.

We're in a precarious place right now.

We left three bodies behind

and, uh, all kinds of evidence.

Does that mean we have to run?

What about Claire Logan?

We're gonna have to let that go for now.

- But that's the whole rea...
- No, honey.


We...

just k*lled three of her men.

Dad?

Yeah?

You haven't looked at me once
since we got home.


[GROANS SOFTLY]

Are you ashamed of me?

No, sweetheart.

Are you scared of me?

I'm ashamed of myself.

It's my fault you had to do it.

But it's my fault
you have to k*ll people.


No, no, no, no, no, no. No.

None of that is your fault.

You hear?

We can go to church
on our way out of town.


There's a priest who knows about you.

You told someone about me?

[STAMMERS] He's a priest.
It's protected.


And you got so mad at me
for telling Isaiah.


No, he will never tell anyone.

- Neither will Isaiah.
- No, no, listen to me.


It's protected by a sacred vow.

Okay? This is the seal of confession.

You can tell him everything you've done.

He will give you penance, and...

your soul can be clean again.

Maybe I don't care about being clean.

You don't mean that.

I saved your life.

Am I supposed to feel bad about that?

- [SIGHS]
- And if I wasn't...


what I am,

I never could have done it.

We'll leave at sundown.

Make sure you're packed.

I have to say goodbye to Isaiah.

- [GROANS] Honey...
- Dad, I have to.


All right.

[SIGHS]

I knew it couldn't last.

I'm sorry.

I wanted this time to be different.

It was different.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Whoa, what happened to you?
- I'll tell you everything,


but first I need you
to get something straight.


If you ever betray me again,
I'm gone, forever.


Do you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

Matthew's dead.

He gave his life for us,

and he did it so you could have
a chance to get better.


So I want you to pay attention to me

and do exactly as I say.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Hello.

[NAOMI] Hey. It's me. I, uh,

I have to work late. Is it okay

if Isaiah hangs out
at your place this evening?


Or you could, you could all...

you could all be at my place.

I mean, you-you know my kitchen
better than I do.


We won't be here tonight.

O-Okay.

Ellie and I have to leave right away.

There's, um, a family issue in Mexico.

Well, when are you coming back?

I don't think we're coming back.

Um...

It was sudden, you know?

I'm sorry.

Did you tell Isaiah?

- Ellie's telling him now.
- [SIGHS]


Will you call me, uh,

when you get where you're going?

Just so I know the two of you are okay.

Sure. I have to go.

Goodbye.

[SIGHS]

[PHONE CLATTERS]

Boyfriend?

No.

I don't, I don't know what he is.

Can I take these files home tonight?

Uh...

I'm-I'm gonna have to leave
before we're done.


Mm-hmm.

Sure.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

[PHONE WHOOSHES]

hopeful music

I was so worried about you.

What happened to your hand?

It got b*rned.

It's fine.

You don't have to tell me what
happened, if you don't want to.


You saved your dad.

That's all that matters.

We have to go away.

But not forever.

Yeah. Forever.

But we can still talk all the time,

and I'll find a way to come see you,

- and...
- No.


[SOMBER MUSIC]

But why?

Because I can't keep you safe.

You'll never be safe around us.

And if anything were to happen to you,

I couldn't stand to be alive.

Look, I need you to grow up
and forget all about me.


Okay? I just...

I want you to be happy.

I'll never forget you, and
I'll never be happy without you.


Yes, you will.
You'll have a normal life.


You won't have anyone
putting a g*n in your face.


I don't care about a normal life.

You would never say that
if you knew what it was like.


I love you, too.

[SIGHS]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Ready?

Okay. Let's go.

[KNOCKING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

I think you've been looking for me.
