02x15 - Table For Fae

[bunniefuu]

Kenzi: Bo Bo?!

Senora, I'm home!

Bo!

Banana!

Kenz-- Maybe she's still sleeping.

Yeah, but she'll wanna see us--

I mean, she's been all by herself for the past week.

(banging/moaning)

Really?

'Cause it sounds to me like Bo's got company.

Why don't we go out the back, Jack.

(moaning)

I'm guessing that was the grand finale.

I know this cool little place that has the best blueberry muffins. Ever.

Sounds good.

Ah--

I'll take two.

Hi!

Hi.

Uh, uh...mystery birthday bracelet guy, right?

Kenzi. Kenzi's...

Uh, Nate.

Nate.

Nice to meet ya.

Ryan. Good to meet you.

Both.

Ahem--

Hi.

So, how was the, uh, how was the trip?

Cut too short, so we gotta go back out.

Okay--

Bo: Hey, Ryan, who are you talking to?

Uh...

Hi.

Hi.

Hey--

I didn't think you guys were gonna be back until tonight.

Clearly.

My last gig fell through, so we figured we might as well--

See you all in a few hours!

Well, that was awkward.

Do you think I should have asked them to join in?

And awkward just got creepy.

No, 'cause that could be really fun.

Are you saying what we did right now was not fun?

Fun?

No.

No?

Not fun.

Not fun?

Like...splendid... astonishing... educational.

Mmmhmm, well, that just tells me that I still have a lot to teach you.

Mind-blowing--

Mind-blowing...

Help--

Life is hard when you don't know who you are.

It's harder when you don't know what you are.

My love carries a death sentence.

I was lost for years, searching while hiding.

Only to find that I belonged to a world hidden from humans.

I won't hide anymore.

I will live the life I choose.

Kenzi: Bo...?

Are you done playing doctor?

Kenzi, get over here!

(squealing)

Finally, a long overdue reunion.

I am so sorry about earlier.

I didn't realize you guys were coming.

I didn't know you were either.

Ha ha.

So!

The, uh, lovely voicemail you left me?

Lachlan's champion, some evil thing coming for us?

I'm sorry I was so distracted before you left, but Lachlan had just dumped some pretty heavy stuff on me.

Do I need to go and finally kick his Ash-y ass?

Actually, I think he and I are on the same side.

I'm...sorry-- I thought you just said that Lachlan, that massive a-hole... is on our side.

It's pretty confusing and I will tell you all about it, but first, how was life on the road with Nate?

Just god-awful. He's such a drag.

I can't wait to get to know him.

Yep.

What about you and Mr. Orgasms before OJ?

Ryan?

Mmmhmm--

He's, um...

Well, he's, uh...uh--

Oh, are you blushing?!

What in the world could possibly make a succubus blush?

I've got to get to know him better.

Why don't the four of us go out for lunch?

Like a double date?

Yeah.

Why not?

Good food, good wine, good conversation.

Hm--

Just like grown ups.

It'll be fun.

Okay.

I'll set it up!

Uh!

Hey.

Easy--

Hands where I can see them.

Hands, now.

Okay...

This little guy right here?

Yeah--

Fits inside a cell phone, can take out an entire city block.

Cool, huh?

Well, there's nothing like a guy who enjoys his work.

Oh--

It--

So!

I was thinking we should go out on a date.

I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah?

Yeah and a client of mine, he's got this great vine yard in Napa.

I think this weekend--

Well, that does sound tempting, but I was thinking more about going out with Kenzi and Nate.

Your roommate--

Mmhmm--

And her boyfriend.

Well, don't sound so excited.

I--

You're right. Napa can wait.

Well, good, because this human is my best friend.

Oh, your BFF!

Well, then... I really wanna meet her.

Are you sure?

Yes, it'll be fun.

Think about it, humans at lunch.

Instead of humans for lunch.

Ah!

(laughing)

I was kidding! I was kidding--

Are you sure?

Sort of.

(laughing)

I keep telling you that this bogus arrest is never gonna hold up.

And I keep telling you to shut up.

It was entrapment.

Entrapment means that you were persuaded.

Nobody persuaded you to con sixteen-year-olds into jacking cars.

You can't prove that.

You have nothing to hold me.

Jack, are you all right?

Dyson: Jack is under arrest.

This is my son, I need to talk with him.

You can speak to him after he's been processed.

Dad, I'm innocent--

I said, I wanted to speak with my son.

You'll want to remove your hand!

I need five minutes alone with my son!

Ah!

How about a whole night in a cell?

Dyson!

Let go--

You have no idea, the trouble you just bought yourself.

Hale: Let's go.

What the hell are you thinking?

What, like he's not asking for it?

His kid's running an underage auto theft ring!

So you take it out on his old man?

I'm tired of these people thinking they're above the law.

Look, you're tired a lot lately, so--

I'm fine.

Good.

Because another problem just landed on our desks.

Some old man d*ed of a heart att*ck.

Yeah, and?

And he had strange wounds on his neck, and his dental records match those of a 22 year old backpacker.

Now I'm thinking it's Fae, but it's nothing I recognize, so I was gonna go down to Trick, see if he knows.

Good for you.

You're not coming?

Dyson, my office. Now.

Guess not.

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk sooner.

I'm just glad we're talking now.

In the coming days, open communication is gonna become increasingly important.

We have to make sure that we align our strategies--

Uh, I was told that you were down here.

Am I interrupting?

We're just chatting.

Yeah.

Something came across my desk that smells Fae.

Cole Masters, 22 year old backpacker from London.

He d*ed this morning... looking like this.

That is some hard living for 22

The wound could indicate a Serket.

But that's highly unusual behaviour.

How so?

Serkets usually thrive on giving life, healing--

Uh, restoring vitality and youthfulness.

k*lling goes against everything they stand for.

With all that's been happening lately, it would be good to get the specifics on this.

Yeah.

I can handle it.

I think it would be best if Bo handled this one.

Whatever the Blood King says.

Here's all we've got, including last known address.

Great. I'm on it.

♪

And I looked up that place Ryan's taking us to for lunch, it used to be a neighborhood bar and now you've gotta make reservations three months in advance.

The menu is insane and the prices are ridic.

He is paying, right?

I mean, since he picked the place.

Yes, I assume he is paying.

Good, because otherwise Nate and I would have to share a side salad and a glass of water.

And I'm not a sharer.

Now I know what teen spirit smells like...

We're friends of Cole Masters'.

Did you know him?

Um...why don't you talk to Tony?

He's up there.

Bo: Tony?

Hey.

How you doing?

Man, I don't have a clue.

So, you were the one who found Cole?

Yeah, I didn't even know that it was him.

He was old, but he was still young, you know?

Were you guys close?

Uh, we met a while back--

Yeah, um, we just kinda kept running into each other.

Like backpackers always seem to, you know?

Yeah.

We were gonna meet here then, uh, go on to Amsterdam.

But Cole never showed.

No, he did, he showed on Sunday, with this chick that he met in Costa Rica.

Was she his girlfriend?

Girlfriend, no. More like a leech, she was always trying to hit him up for money.

She's one of these girls who says that she's authentic, but all she wanted to do was party.

Here, this is her and Cole.

Is she here? Can we speak to her?

She took off.

You can talk to her if you can find her.

Okay, well--

If you see her again, you get her to call me, okay?

She's not gonna be back.

She's in the wind.

Like the rest of them.

What does that mean?

Over the last month, there've been three or four backpackers who've checked in here, and then suddenly disappeared.

Yeah, but they're backpackers, they travel--

No, but they didn't have the cash.

I don't know...maybe they just got homesick.

You lose track of people on the road, you know?

Yeah, I'm sure you do.

Okay, thanks, Tony. You take care, okay?

Kenzi: Thanks, man.

Yeah...

♪

Hale, turns out this thing with Cole is not an isolated case.

Sounds like some Fae has a taste for young vagabonds.

Well, that's too bad.

Yeah, okay, I'll talk to you later.

What's too bad?

Don't you dare tell me that Ryan is cancelling lunch.

No, it was Hale.

He got a hit on Delphine's credit card.

Turns out she boarded a bus last night for San Francisco.

Hm--

So, what can we do?

Well...I guess I'll head back to the hostel and see if I can turn over any new leads.

But, not until after lunch, right?

Because a girl's gotta eat and it would just be rude to cancel.

Yes, after lunch.

K, heading over to Nate's.

No snacking!

Not on food anyway...

Dyson--

I got your suspension papers on my desk.

What the hell got into you?

The man grabbed me, Garrity.

Last I heard that's called assaulting an officer.

That man happens to play golf with the Mayor and--

So what? A membership at a country club and a low handicap make you above the law?

No, but it does give him some very powerful friends, who decided to drop the charges against his son.

You gotta be kidding me--

Do I look like I'm kidding?

Thanks to you our six month investigation of the car-jacking ring is back to square one.

That is not my fault.

You tell the Mayor to grow some balls--

Dyson--

Next time I see him, I'll be sure to pass that along.

And tell him it came from you.

Don't bother, I'll tell him myself.

Like I said, suspended! Pending a full investigation.

Are we done?

Use the time to cool off.

Look, our friends are coming, okay?

Just check your book.

Ryan "something and Bo--

I'm sure it's right there.

I'm sorry but without a name, there's nothing I can do.

Uh, Kenzi--

Hi!

Hey!

Hey, I'm sorry we're late.

Valets, you know, they keep fighting over who gets to park my car.

What do you drive?

Oh, depends on the day of the week.

Thank you.

Kenzi: Hot damn, I'm gonna start with the lobster...oh, wow...

With the lobster puffs and then I will have the lobster rolls and please, please, please, let there be... Yes!

I will finish with the lobster ice cream.

Thank you.

Actually, I took the liberty of ordering for the entire table already.

You...what?

Pre-ordered.

The chef's a close personal friend of mine.

He's gonna take care of us, don't worry.

Besides, we'll be so drunk by then, we'll barely notice.

I like the way you think.

Marissa, we're gonna need wine, and lots of it.

Do you have the '49

Richebourg Grand Cru?

Tell me yes.

Oh, I'm so sorry, we ran out.

Ugh...you're breaking my heart here, sweetie.

I was there when it was bottled, it is unbelievable.

Okay, we'll take a bottle of your best champagne and we'll order the wine later.

She's beautiful.

She is.

And she's one of us.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh...

Uh, guys, I know it's, um...kinda cheesy, but I would like to propose a toast.

Here's to new experiences and new friends.

Here, here--

Cheers.

Yeah, Nate had to finish his whole final set with him just lying there.

I don't get it--

Why didn't you just call security and have him removed?

I don't know, babe, why didn't we call security?

Security, well, uh, there's actually only fifteen people there, so...

Wait, this whole story that you've been telling was about a gig for fifteen people?

Actually, for Cedar Rapids on a Tuesday that is, like, amazing.

No, I don't doubt that--

Actually, how's this possibly worth your time exactly?

How much money could you have possibly made on that?

A $100 maybe--

Ryan--

Yeah?

Fifty-five.

Fifty-five.

Hey, Richie Rich, it's not about the money.

No, Nate is doing what he loves.

Totally! That-that's great!

But, I-- Listen, I have no doubt that you'll be successful at it one day.

I think it's pretty fair to say that Ryan's a little out of touch with the indie music scene.

Was I being a jerk?

Yes, you're being a jerk.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it.

No worries, man, you should come out to one of my shows some time.

Absolutely--

Oh!

Bo: Food, great!

Ryan: Great!

Okay, so the ritual with these things, put them all in your mouth at once and let the flavors overwhelm you.

Is this skunk?

Oh, just wait 'til you try it.

Go, go, go!

Okay, so? Thoughts?

Um--

It tastes like something crawled in the food and d*ed.

That's because it did! It's tripe!

Talk to Marrisa, she'll bring the car around front.

I'll be there in a moment.

Okay--

Thanks--

Look, I know this was absolutely no fun for you guys, and I'm sorry. It is totally my fault.

I never should have ordered the food for you, never should have chosen such a pretentious restaurant.

I was just trying to impress you guys.

And make Bo happy.

So, please do me a favour, stay.

Order a few drinks, maybe something to eat.

Lobster rolls, thank you.

Lobster, yes--

And, I have a surprise for you.

That's right, gotta keep her looking young.

SLAP!

Well, it's an old, old, old family recipe.

Guaranteed to add years to your life.

Well, what's in it?

See, I'm only asking because I'm concerned about medical testing.

Is it tested on animals, or humans?

No.

No, nothing like that.

Well, where does it come from?

Is it all natural?

I showed up and she wouldn't even see me.

Well, you know these showbiz types, one minute it's black, the next minute it's white--

Yeah, but she was so into me at the restaurant.

It doesn't make sense.

It's my music, isn't it?

It's bad.

No. No, it's not.

Don't think that. Don't ever think that.

Then what?

Then what, because I've been waiting for years for a chance like this, then it comes along and I--

I blow it.

Without even knowing what I did wrong.

Babe, you are gonna get a bajillion chances to turn down people who want to make bank off your awesomeness.

Okay?

Sure.

Trust me. I know.

Okay, but in the meantime, you have dodged a b*llet.

I mean, come on, she was gonna turn you into some lip-synching dance monkey.

Next stop, the "tween" crap awards.

I'm really sorry.

Why?

It's not like you had anything to do with it.

I just gotta wear it.

♪

We need to talk.

What's up?

Your boy toy sent The Morrigan to sign Nate.

When?!

After you left.

I barely managed to get him out of it.

What did you do?

I had to promise her some giant favor, to be named at some terrifying future date.

I am so sorry, Kenzi.

Yeah, well, Nate almost got talent-sucked into oblivion.

I can't believe that Ryan would do this!

Why is he even talking to her?

Isn't that, like, illegal or something?

Actually, no.

Ryan is Dark Fae.

And you knew that?

Look, I'm gonna take care of this.

Okay?

I'm gonna go over there right now and rearrange his parts!

And--

Tell him you're through, right?

Bo, come on--

You know I like it when you're getting your hunger all hitched up, okay?

But, this guy is obviously bad news.

I know!

I know.

That's what makes this so hard.

Guess who suddenly walked into the station all terrified and gave himself up?

Jack Everett.

Well, I guess he had a change of heart.

Oh, you think so?

'Cause I think someone just talked him into it.

We had a chat.

You used your wolf, didn't you?

Why would I do something like that?

Where's your head? Huh?

It's not enough to break human laws, you gotta go break Fae laws as well?

I didn't use my wolf.

Not that it's any of your business.

Oh, the hell it isn't any of my business.

I put my ass on the line to save your job!

Garrity reinstated you because of me!

I didn't ask you to do that.

Tell me, what were you gonna do?

Get fired?

How were you planning on explaining that one to the Ash?

That's the thing, Hale.

I'm done explaining myself.

To anyone.

♪

Hey--

Hey.

Thanks for calling.

And thanks for deciding to come.

I've got something for you, just--

Ryan, I'm not in the mood.

Kenzi told me about The Morrigan.

And?

And?

I was trying to do her boyfriend a favor.

You know that Evony makes people's careers, right?

Yeah, until they die.

We all have to die sometime!

Nate's an amateur guitar player!

He plays two-bit coffee houses for fifty-five bucks a week!

Evony could have him selling out Madison Square Garden in six months! You don't think he'd want that?

Well, that is not your decision to make.

It's not yours either!

I gave the kid an opportunity.

Who are you to say what's best for him?

It's not just that.

No?

No!

You were fine letting those sisters walk!

I'm Dark Fae.

I made my choice of clan a long time ago.

I stand by that choice.

You, on the other hand, you're free to choose.

You can choose Light, or Dark whenever it suits you.

Which I think is really awesome, by the way, if you'd ever actually do it.

What is that supposed to mean?

You call yourself unaligned, and yet you spend all of your time with your light Fae friends.

You never really give Dark Fae a chance.

And I think somewhere, way deep down inside, that you think Light are good and Dark are bad.

I know what I think.

Hm?

The Dark treat human like property.

Yeah, and the Light don't, right?

Yet Lachlan puts your good friend, Lauren, in a prison cell for days.

I know about that.

And you today, you manipulate someone's Chi to make your job easier--

Isn't that like playing with your food?

I think it is.

Listen, I'm not judging you.

I am into you.

No matter what you decide.

But, I would really love to know what would happen if you just let go.

Of everything.

Except me.

Ugh!

I am trying very hard to stay mad at you right now.

You're gonna have to work a little harder.

I want you to forget Lachlan...

Yeah--

Just forget about Light Fae and Dark Fae--

Forget about making a choice.

This is about you and me.

And her.

Hello, again.

I wanted to get you a present.

(laughing)

Well, it's a good one.

No rules.

Remember?

Me?

Thought you'd never ask.
