01x08 - Heart of Fire

[bunniefuu]

I work for the church.

I deal with anomalies.

You think that's what Fitzroy is, an anomaly?

I think he's an abomination.

This isn't Henry.

He doesn't do this.

Fang Boy doesn't eat?

Henry is not a k*ller.

No?

And how do you know so much about his drinking habits?

Henry Fitzroy wouldn't let me anywhere near him.

But you, you know what he's is but you're still alive.

MAN: The illuminatione del sol.

It drains a vampire's power.

All he must do is to place it on his chest.

[groans]

WOMAN: What did you do?

[groaning]

I'm sorry, detective.

[music playing]

Dammit.

You stupid son of a bitch.

You through?

Who was that guy, and what does he want with Henry?

He said that he could help Henry to cure his urges.

Oh, Mike, and you bought it?

Yes, I bought it.

Just like I bought every piece of your psycho voodoo nonsense

ever since you hooked up with him.

You know what, maybe, just maybe,

if you weren't obsessed with Henry,

and you just did your job.

Hey, I am doing my job.

And if you still wore the shield,

you would be doing exactly the same thing.

Henry is a k*ller, plain and simple.

He's my partner.

And now, because of you, I've got to go do what I do

when my partner is in trouble.

You'll never find him alone.

Oh, what?

Now you want to come help me find Henry?

No.

No, I want Javier Mendosa.

That's who I want.

Then from this point forward, what you know I know.

If you hold out on me, I swear to God,

you will live to regret it.

Anything else?

Until I find him, you're my chauffeur.

[music playing]

[groaning]

[groaning]

It's been a long time, Monty.

You remember me.

I'm flattered.

You remember her?

[grunting]

[growling]

I stood upon the sand of the sea.

And I saw a beast rise out the sea having

seven heads and ten horns.

And upon each horn, a crown.

And upon the heads, the name of blasphemy.

And the beast, which I saw, was like a leopard.

And his feet were as a bear and his mouth as a lion.

And a dragon gave it his power.

And upon one of the heads, I saw that it

was a wounded unto death.

And the deadly wound healed.

And all the world wandered after the beast.

What do you want?

What do you want?

What I've always wanted, vampire.

To save your immortal soul.

[theme music]

THEME MUSIC: I can't explain these things of late.

And it burns in the night to the place where I keep my peace.

And I can't explain, these strange things of late.

And when the darkness falls, I hear you call.

It goes on and on and on.

I say, who wants to live forever?

Who wants to stop the sun now?

Who wants to live forever?

It's you.

It's me.

It's in your blood.

Who will be my fantasy?

Who will be my ecstasy?

Who wants to live forever?

It's you.

It's me.

It's in my blood.

Look, Coreen, just get down here as fast as you can.

I'll explain everything then.

If this guy wanted him dead, why not just k*ll him in the sewer?

He wants to k*ll him somewhere else.

Hey, that thing you slammed into his chest,

it took him down fast.

What the hell was it?

Yeah.

He called it the illuminatione del sol.

It looked like a sun.

It had eight rays of light, I guess they were.

Eight, are you sure?

Yeah, it reminded me of a compass.

It had a face on it, and I think it was made out of gold.

OK

He said that it wouldn't hurt him,

it was just going to weaken him.

OK, we'll get Corinne on this as soon as she gets here.

What? Wait.

What are you doing? - What?

I'm just going to clean up.

No, you can clean up down at the station.

I need you to pull everything you can on Javier Mendosa.

I want C-pick, Interpol, Spanish police, Vi-cap.

OK, Vicki, I'm on it.

All right.

Hey, listen.

We're going to find him.

Yeah, we better.

[music playing]

Kate.

Javier Mendosa.

Yeah.

He made himself out as a possible witness

to the prost*tute k*lling.

But now he's a possible suspect?

Person of interest.

So how does Vicki factor in this?

She doesn't.

So why has she called you three times the last half hour?

She says to turn your cell on.

Yeah.

This is a murky one.

I needed somebody outside of the department

to do some legwork for me.

You don't have to explain it to me.

Crowley.

Warpath.

Listen, Kate, I need a favor.

Can you just cover for me for 24 hours?

I just got to see how this plays out.

I'll do you one better.

I'll cover for you and I will babysit this search

while you go take a shower.

Oh, and by the way, Dave got an idea on the dead pro--

Amy Davidson.

Her street name was Champagne.

Thanks, Kate.

I thought for sure the silver b*ll*ts would k*ll the Wendigo,

even if the fire didn't.

Mike did use them, didn't he?

Because I got the vibe off him that he didn't buy that

they would actually k*ll the Wendigo.

Henry has been kidnapped by some kind of lunatic

with an anti vampire w*apon.

I need you to find out everything you can on it

as fast as you can.

OK, wait a minute, backup.

Kidnapped?

Lunatic?

What you talking about?

Is Henry OK?

I don't know.

He didn't k*ll him right away, so yeah, there's a chance

he might still be alive.

How did he even know you were there?

The only people that knew you and Henry were in the sewer

were me and--

Mike.

You know, it's not important right now.

I never should have said anything.

Now, Henry's going to die and I'm the one who k*lled him.

No.

No, he's not going to die because we're

going to save him all right?

All right.

This is everything I have.

Illuminatione del sol, Spanish.

I'll start there.

All right, if you can't find anything out right away,

call Dr. Segura, she'll know what to do.

Call me when you have something.

In the year of our Lord 1742, to the years of this judgment,

since you were Javier Mendosa, there

comes the persistent public report

that Englishman Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond in Somerset,

born in 1519.

d*ed, 1536.

You are charged with inflicting vampirism

and heresy against the faith and common good of this village.

I will ask the questions in this court.

How do you plead?

[inaudible] no one here.

You hold no authority over me, priest.

We shall see.

Be careful of this one.

He's the spawn of the devil.

My faith in the Lord will protect me.

Save your strength, vampire, you will need it.

Javier, Javier.

[music playing]

[sirens]

Don't know her.

Take a closer look, OK, because she worked

this stroll and she's dead now.

Hey, honey, how you doing?

Yeah, you want to party?

Do you mind?

I need $1,200 to pay for my a kid's dental work, $800

to fix my transmission, and I ain't

making jack with you two standing

around here harassing me.

You think this is harassment?

No, harassment would be if I came down here every night

that you were working and scared off

all your potential customers.

Or I could arrest you for obstructing a homicide

investigation, lose your paperwork

and let you spend a fun filled week in Metro West Detention.

Oh, that is a good one.

You know, there's also the one--

All right, all right.

Yeah, I've seen her once or twice.

Called herself Champagne.

Nice enough, but not exactly Einstein.

No protection, no safe calls, and she was stoned

half the time she was working.

Did you ever see her with this guy?

I never saw Champagne with him.

- You had a date with him. - What?

You saw this guy? - When did it happen?

Where was this?

What was he driving?

Where did he take you?

OK, it was about a week ago.

He picked me up in a cab, took me to an abandoned building.

I thought he wanted what everyone wants.

What else?

But there was another woman in the basement,

chained to the ceiling.

When I told him anything weird was going to cost extra,

he grabs me, starts dragging me over to her.

So I introduced him to my pocket.

Easy, easy, easy.

Why didn't you tell anyone?

She was trying to bite me.

I thought she was in on the fun.

Can you describe the building?

Some old church.

Are you sure?

I've been to church.

There can't be that many empty churches around.

OK, you need to show us where he took you.

I ain't going to show you nothing, princess.

OK, you have two choices and only one of them

has a happy ending.

You do know about happy endings, right?

Is this where you come in, good cop?

Actually, she is the good cop.

OK, $75 an hour.

You want to get paid?

I expect to get paid.

Money talks or Cassise walks.

If you are jerking us around, I swear to God.

That's $200 an hour, honey.

Let's go.

[music playing]

Have you never seen Royalty before?

What I need is some water.

Water, please.

I serve only the Monsignor and the Lord.

Perhaps, a taste of your Lord's grand compassion

will fill my empty soul.

I warn you, do not attempt to take advantage of my charity.

You are too kind.

Now open these gates.

I was warned you were powerful, devil,

but God's love is greater.

[praying]

The accused has the opportunity to confess.

All right, all right, I confess.

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.

I should have k*lled you 400 years ago.

Having professed his innocence on all charges,

the accused leaves the judge with no choice

but to proceed with the inquisition.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You will confess and you will die.

the only choice left is where you spend eternity.

[music playing]

Doctor Segura--

Oh, Coreen.

[inaudible] Vicki Nelson's assistant.

Yes, of course.

You know, dear, it's rather late.

Could this wait until tomorrow?

No, this is about Henry.

What are you talking about?

I've got to track down this illuminatione del sol device.

And I can't find references to it

in any Spanish mythology text.

I've checked everything-- Gallic,

Estonian, Catalan, even Basque.

So I thought maybe it has a basis in Roman mythology.

Slow down, please, slow down.

What does this have to do with Henry?

[grunting]

I thought you might be hungry.

Come on, vampire, eat.

You're getting weak.

You need your strength.

One small act of mercy won't impress God.

God loves mercy.

For those who deserve it.

[groaning]

The evidence against you is compelling.

Confess freely and save your immortal soul.

Confess.

[screaming]

[whispering]

Confess.

This is the place.

We went in around that way.

Show us.

The deal was to get you to the church.

There's no guided tour.

Pay her.

Well you're the one who said you'd pay her.

I don't have that kind of money on me.

- Oh, and I do? - You should.

- What are you talking about? - I have an idea.

Pay me now and fight about this all you want when you get home.

Oh, listen, sweetheart, we are so not a couple.

Sure you're not.

We're not.

All right, fine, I suppose a receipt is

completely out of the question.

I guess there's no point in telling you to stay behind.

Right.

Come on, sun's almost up.

Your wounds don't heal so quickly now.

Has the devil abandoned you?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

You are nothing if not tenacious.

But you will break.

You all break.

A witness will give their name--

Delphine

And the year of their birth and death.

Delphine Guillaume, born 1918, d*ed 1944.

And how did you come to be in this stage of purgatory?

I-- I was m*rder*d by a vampire.

No.

Who infected me with his disease.

Unburden your soul, my child.

Give me his name.

Atone for your sins.

Henry Fitzroy.

Forgive me.

[inaudible] here.

All in good time.

I forgive you.

I forgive-- What have you done to her?

She is at peace now.

How many others did you k*ll to get to me?

Don't flatter yourself.

She was a monster.

She was an artist, a teacher, an innocent.

Then you condemned her.

She gave up her innocence when she surrendered herself to you.

No.

Through her confession, she spared

herself the flames of hell.

No.

Hell couldn't be worse than this.

[music playing]

No one escapes the Lord's justice.

There's no pulse.

Help me

[cocks g*n]

It's the woman Henry turned.

Delphine, where's Javier Mendosa?

Feed me.

Feed me.

Oh come, Vicki, you're not going to do it.

We need her.

More.

No, not till you answer my questions.

Where's Javier?

Gone.

What does he want with Henry?

Henry?

Forgive me.

Vicki.

[screaming]

Dr. Segura, how long have you known Henry?

We're missing something here.

What is it?

Eight rays-- are you sure?

Yeah.

The number eight had no special meaning to the Aztecs.

It's a lucky number in Chinese culture.

Infinity, immortality.

It's Chinese.

He left in a hurry.

He had our number.

Wish we had his.

Yeah.

Nobody should have to die like that.

She wasn't alive, remember.

No, you know what I mean.

To leave somebody, anybody, vulnerable, alone

like that, it's just evil.

Hollenbeck Nurseries, doesn't really strike me like the kind

of guy who'd have a hobby.

Oh, whew.

What is that?

I don't know.

Maybe Mohadevan can take a look at this.

Yeah, we're in the briefing room, OK.

Kate's on her way.

Remember the last time we were here?

We used to break our backs in these chairs.

And we'd get Mohadevan a four-star case,

to the front of the line.

Oh, you remember that drug dealer?

He had the bag taped over his head?

Oh, yeah, and you thought it was a premeditated hit.

You thought it was a crime of passion.

Yeah, and she comes in and it's auto-erotica asphyxiation.

Mike, Vicki.

They still had coffee over in sex crimes.

Oh, best in the building.

The computer spat back [inaudible] on your guy.

What no criminal record?

No record at all.

Not even an alias.

So I googled the name to see if it had any significance.

Turns out, Javier Mendosa was a grand Inquisitor

during the Spanish Inquisition.

He specialized in encouraging confessions out of witches.

Wow.

Thanks Kate, I owe you one for this.

You owe me more than that.

And get some rest.

You look like hell.

Thank you, appreciate that.

What?

What?

The plant is [inaudible] It is revered by the Chinese

as an immortality herb.

And how about the cup?

A mixture of the herb and blood.

Amy Davidson's blood?

No, she was O negative.

This is B positive.

There are some other unique properties in this mixture.

It will take more tests to isolate them.

Vampire

You'll never read that in my report.

Now, if you'll excuse me, there are other cases

that require my attention.

Thank you.

Thanks, doc.

Immortality herb, Spanish Inquisitor, what if this guy

isn't a fan of Javier Mendosa.

What if he is Javier Mendosa.

If this guy's Javier Mendosa, then he's over 300 years old.

- Maybe he's a vampire. - He can't be.

We saw him in the daytime.

Vampire blood, [inaudible] this guy's choosing

vampires to stay alive.

It means Henry might not be dead yet.

Hollenbeck nursery supplied [inaudible] to five

different Chinese herbalists.

Only upside is they're all on Spendina.

So we're no closer than we were 12 hours ago.

We have solved cases with a whole hell of a lot

less than this.

All right, what do we have?

All right, we know that his name is Spanish.

We know that he is or was connected to the Inquisition.

His last hideout was in a church.

His last hideout was in a church

within walking distance to Chinatown.

Chinatown-- this is where we found the vampire.

This is where he picked up Cassise This is where

we found Amy Davidson's body.

It is a pretty small comfort zone to be working in.

He's conducting his own little inquisition.

The guy's hooked on ritual.

So holy ground is a part of that ritual.

He's hiding out in another church.

What Faustian bargain did you make?

Rest assured, vampire, there is no deal with the devil.

I prayed to the Lord for justice.

And he granted me the capture of a wretched soul

who immersed himself in the dark arts of the East.

At first he was reluctant to share with me his knowledge

of unnatural longevity.

But in time, he came to find my arguments persuasive.

[groaning]

[praying]

Don't think you can immerse yourself in darkness

and emerge unscathed.

[praying]

You're the vampire.

Amen.

MIKE: OK, we've got four more churches to go.

VICKI: All right, we should split up and cover more ground.

MIKE: No, we go together, OK?

This guy's armed and insane.

Same old Saturday night.

No, Vicki, I'm serious.

OK?

Listen, ever since you got those marks on you,

you've been acting like you're somehow invincible guess what?

You're not.

No, but I think they might be saving me for something else.

That's not exactly reassuring.

I have no choice right now, all right?

I have to play the hand that's been dealt.

Vicki, you will always have a choice.

Remember that.

We split up, cover more ground.

And if one of us finds him?

We call the other one.

You'll wait for me?

Yeah, I'll wait for you.

Vicki--

Mike-- I said I'd call.

End your suffering, my son.

Smite the beast that corrupts your soul.

Gloria, please--

Quiet.

The Monsignor will hear.

You

I am a man.

You are vampiro--

evil.

You k*ll.

And I paint and dance.

You've been sent to test my faith.

Your faith is about mercy.

To have you in his grasp, to let you go.

No devil is that foolish.

Another trick.

If I do not scream, I'm being protected by the devil.

If I do, it is a trick.

I've had enough of your judgment for one day.

Take this and prove yourself.

[speaking latin]

[music playing]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Drink, drink my blood and you'll live.

Confess your unholy nature and pray for divine forgiveness.

You first.

It's not much, but I found the legend of a Chinese w*rlord

whose only daughter committed su1c1de

and returned as a Ching Shi.

That's a Chinese vampire.

She wrought terrible destruction across the land,

but the w*rlord refused to see her die a second time.

He ordered the wisest of his Daoist

priests to tame her vicious ways.

The priest created an artificial sun to control her,

but discovered--

[music playing]

[phone rings]

[screams]

Come on, come on.

Hey, this is Vicki, sorry I missed you.

Leave me a message, I'll call you back.

Vicki, it's me, call me.

[groans] Oh, bad idea.

Henry?

Henry, no.

Vicki, Vicki--

Oh, God, what has he done to you?

Revealed his true nature.

Behold the beast.

Now do you see?

No, no.

We're going to get you out of here.

You know what I want, vampire.

Confess, confess your sins.

What sins?

Tell me.

You k*lled her.

You k*lled Maria.

We both know what happened.

I came for her that night.

I was too late to save her.

I heard the words that came out of her mouth,

her first words [inaudible].

My love.

It was a trick, a trap set by the devil to ensnare me.

The devil had nothing to do with it.

She only sought to embrace you, to love you.

In God's eyes, she was cursed.

I sent her soul--

You could have had for all eternity, if not for you.

You fanaticist.

I freed her.

m*rder*r.

Liar.

You're a monster.

Oh, [inaudible].

The smell of blood make you happy, vampire?

Your main course is right here.

Henry--

I confess.

I confess.

[phone rings]

Vicki?

Coreen, it's me, where is she?

I don't know.

She hasn't called.

We split up an hour ago to check out churches.

She should have called back by now.

I'm going to go retrace her steps.

Wait, Mike, we found out something about the device

he's using on Henry.

It's some kind of freaky gadget that

was created by a Daoist monk to steal a vampire's immortality.

How could you do this to him?

Listen, I'm going to get him back.

What do I need to know about this thing?

There's a special key that removes it.

But we have to be careful.

Turn it clockwise, It deactivates the device.

Counterclockwise, it destroys the heart.

Great.

So where is this key?

Hopefully, he keeps it close to him.

MIKE: Yeah, let's hope.

All right, I'll call you when I find something.

And I turned her into a creature like me.

Henry, don't.

A foul beast.

A foul beast.

Your soul is black.

The penance for your sins is death.

Let her go.

Out of the question.

Your confession must be given in good faith

and with a clear conscience.

It would be remiss of me to accept

a statement made under duress.

[music playing]

After you've eaten, we will talk again.

When's that going to be, huh?

10 years, 100 years?

How long do you keep them like this?

I am not Fitzroy's captor.

When his heart truly seeks salvation,

he will find the key to his freedom.

Oh, and of course, you're the only one who can tell

when he's reached that stage.

I'm only a vessel of the Lord's will.

He will decide.

What a convenient argument.

It doesn't justify m*rder.

You, of all people, should know that no one is innocent.

Bon appetit, vampire.

Henry--

Forgive me.

I can't help myself.

Just give me a chance to find a way out of here before you

make any rash decisions.

[grunting]

Henry, Henry, don't make me.

[screams]

Don't move.

Detective.

Hands behind your head.

The key, where is it?

In a safe place.

I won't ask you again.

You know my cause is just.

You won't k*ll me.

No, I won't k*ll you.

Mike.

Vicki.

Jesus.

Mike, get me out of here.

[growling]

Mike.

No.

Ahh, son of a bitch.

Henry, please, please.

Don't k*ll Mike.

You're k*lling him.

Please, stop you're k*lling him.

Henry, you're k*lling him.

Please.

Please.

Mike--

Here, the key, turn it, clockwise.

Are you OK?

I will be.

Mike?

Mike, you OK?

God, that hurts.

Are you crazy.

I mean, you could have gotten yourself k*lled.

Well, you're welcome.

Good evening, Monsignor.

It's time to repent.

Bless us, oh, Lord, and these gifts for which

we are about to receive.

From thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Oh, God, Mike.

I'll be fine.

[screaming]

Let's go.

It's almost dawn.

We really need to talk about your drinking problem.

Clearly, I stopped too soon.

You, you go ahead.

[music playing]
