male announcer: IN NEW YORK CITY'S WAR ON CRIME,
THE WORST CRIMINAL OFFENDERS
ARE PURSUED BY THE DETECTIVES OF THE MAJOR CASE SQUAD.
THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.
- THAT MAN CANNOT TOLERATE A MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE
WAS CENTRAL TO JUNG'S UNDERSTANDING.
BUT HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO JUNG'S SHADOW THEORY, HMM?
SARAH?
[snapping fingers] WELCOME BACK.
JUNG'S SHADOW THEORY.
- WE ALL HAVE A SHADOW SIDE.
AND JUNG FELT THE LESS IT'S EMBODIED IN OUR CONSCIOUS LIFE,
THE MORE DANGEROUS IT IS.
- YES, THAT-- THAT'S WELL SAID.
[cell phone rings] - HI, SIS.
I ALWAYS KNOW WHEN IT'S YOU WITH A DOSE OF PERSONAL CONCERN.
WHERE I WAS ALL NIGHT? WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
YES. HE CALLED ME FOUR TIMES.
I HAVEN'T CALLED HIM BACK.
JUST TELL DADDY I'M GETTING STRAIGHT "A"s.
BECAUSE THAT'S ALL HE NEEDS TO KNOW.
- YOU LOOK REALLY COOL.
- COOL? WHAT ARE WE, IN HIGH SCHOOL?
I'M YOUR MISTRESS OF THE NIGHT.
- AND WE ARE SEEKERS OF A GREATER TRUTH.
LET'S GO.
[club music]
*
- HEY, HANG HERE. I'M GONNA PUSH FOR THE BAR.
- I COULD MAKE YOU MY NEXT MEAL.
- WHAT WOULD I TASTE LIKE?
- FIRST BITE, LIKE A DARK-CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE.
- AND IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN A BITE?
- LIKE A LAMB...
FLAYED OF ITS SKIN, BLEATING...
BUT QUIVERING AND WANTING MORE.
- HEY. I'M KYLE...
THE BOYFRIEND.
- OH, KYLE. THIS IS-- - A DARK ENCOUNTER.
- I'M AFRAID YOU'VE LOST HER, OLD BOY.
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES.
- WHY DON'T YOU GET ACQUAINTED WITH HIM WHILE I...
SCREEN THIS LITTLE LAMB?
- NOW LET'S EASE YOUR PAIN.
- A STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL CREATURE
DESIRES YOU WITH ACHING HUNGER.
DRINK...
MY PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT.
- YOU LIKE HIM? - KYLE, YOU'RE--
KYLE, YOU'RE HURTING ME.
- YOU LIKE ROUGH? I CAN GIVE YOU ROUGH.
- SHE HASN'T CALLED BACK. SHE HASN'T PICKED UP HER PHONE.
OUR FATHER IS VERY CONCERNED.
[Law & Order theme]
*
- I WAS THINKING OF KEIRA.
IN TEN YEARS, I'LL BE SENDING HER OFF TO COLLEGE.
- RIGHT. THEY GO OFF. THEY GO OFF.
YOU KNOW, THEY TELL YOU THEY'RE SEXUALLY AMBIVALENT
OR WANT TO BE ECOTERRORISTS.
BUT WITH ANY LUCK, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THIS, RIGHT?
- WELL, IT'S HARD TO TELL MUCH. THERE'S SO MUCH BLOOD.
POSSIBLY VAGINAL PENETRATION
AND A SLIGHT BRUISING ON THE NECK,
BUT NOT ENOUGH TO SUGGEST STRANGULATION.
- MAYBE EROTIC ASPHYXIATION?
- I'M THINKING MAYBE A RUPTURE OF THE VARICES
IN HER ESOPHAGUS.
SHE VOMITED BLOOD, MAYBE CHOKED ON IT,
OR SIMPLY BLED OUT.
- EXSANGUINATION-- EXTREME LOSS OF BLOOD.
MY FATHER WAS A CORPSMAN.
IT'S THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
- AND A DEATH USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOLISM.
- GOTH QUEEN OUTFIT.
PLEASE. THANK YOU.
UH, QUOTES HERE BY FOUCAULT, KANT.
LOOK AT THIS.
OH, THIS TAKES ME TO MY DAD'S STUDY.
- SOMETHING INTERESTING. - YEAH.
THIS IS THE RED BOOK BY CARL JUNG,
THE NEWLY PUBLISHED EDITION. - I DON'T FOLLOW.
- OH, THE RED BOOK WAS, UH, FOR HALF A CENTURY
ONLY PIRATED.
IT REIGNED AS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL UNPUBLISHED BOOK
IN THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY.
- WHY DIDN'T JUNG WANT IT PUBLISHED?
- WELL, IT RECORDED, UH, HIS OWN CONFRONTATION
WITH HIS UNCONSCIOUS.
THOUGHTS AND VISIONS SO WEIRD, THEY FRIGHTENED HIM.
HE THOUGHT EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE A RED BOOK--
ALL DISTURBING THOUGHTS WRITTEN DOWN AND FILED AWAY.
- THERE'S-- THERE'S AN INSCRIPTION.
"COME DISCOVER A DEEPER SPIRITUAL LIFE.
STRUGGLE WITH EVIL AND INTEGRATE THE DEVIL...
WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY. K."
- VERY TRIPPY STUFF. SO WHO'S "K"?
- DETECTIVES, THE VICTIM'S FATHER AND SISTER ARE HERE.
- [crying]
SARAH WAS ALWAYS DIFFERENT.
IN OUR TEENS, WHEN I WAS READING YOUNG ROMANCE,
SHE READ POE, LOVECRAFT, ALL KINDS OF OCCULT STUFF.
- THAT'S STILL REFLECTED IN HER CHOICE OF DRESS AND DECOR.
- DETECTIVES, WE KNOW SO LITTLE.
WE--WE SHOULDN'T JUMP TO ASSUMPTIONS HERE.
- WE MAKE AN EFFORT NOT TO DO THAT, CONGRESSMAN.
UH, YOU LIVE HERE IN THE CITY.
DID YOU SEE HER OFTEN? - WE MET FOR LUNCHES.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BY THE WAY SHE WAS DRESSING
AND HER EYE MAKEUP.
BUT SHE'D LAUGH AND SAY IT WAS JUST A FASHION STATEMENT.
- WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE SHE KNEW?
EVER MET ANYONE SHE WAS CLOSE TO?
- I HAVEN'T. CAROLINE, HAVE YOU MET ANYONE?
- WE BELIEVE SHE WAS CLOSE TO OR POSSIBLY INVOLVED
WITH SOMEONE WHOSE INITIAL WAS "K."
- LATELY, SHE'S SHARED SO LITTLE WITH ME.
- SHE WAS GOING THROUGH A PHASE.
- DAD, IT STARTED BEFORE SHE LEFT HOME.
- WHAT DID YOU NOTICE, CAROLINE?
- SARAH HATED DAD'S WORLD--
THE CAMPAIGNING, THE--THE PUBLIC LIFE,
ALWAYS TELLING THE MEDIA THAT EVERYTHING'S PERFECT.
SHE LONGED TO ESCAPE AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE.
- WHATEVER SHE FOUND KILLED HER.
- [crying]
- "GOING THROUGH A PHASE." I'VE SAID THAT.
HELL, MOST PARENTS HAVE SAID THAT.
- THEY SEEM PRETTY OUT OF TOUCH WITH HER.
- YOU KNOW, WHEN MY OLDEST DAUGHTER GOT A SMALL TATTOO,
I THOUGHT THE NEXT THING WAS GONNA BE
THE DOWNTOWN CLUB SCENE AND THEN REHAB.
INSTEAD, SHE'S AT COLUMBIA IN PRE-MED.
SO MAYBE SARAH JUST NEEDED SOME ROOM.
SO WHEN THE CALLS START COMING IN
FROM WHOMEVER THE OHIO CONGRESSMAN LEANS ON,
WHAT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT CAN I GIVE THEM?
- WELL, ONE OF OUR FIRST STEPS IS GONNA BE TO UNCOVER
HIS DAUGHTER'S MISSING LIFE.
- KIDS IN THE DORM SAID SHE SKIPPED A LOT OF CLASSES,
BUT ACED EXAMS.
THERE WAS ONE PSYCH CLASS THAT REALLY HELD HER INTEREST.
- WE WERE THINKING IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THE SUBJECT,
OR IT MIGHT'VE BEEN THE PROFESSOR.
- IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO START.
- SHE HAD PROMISE. SHE WORSHIPPED JUNG.
WE SHARED THAT.
- FREUD GETS THE CREDIT,
BUT JUNG PROBED THE DEEP, DARK DEPTHS, YEAH?
- I CAN ALMOST AGREE WITH THAT.
- SO DID SHE DO HER HOMEWORK? - SOMETIMES.
- BUT SHE PASSED ALL THE TESTS.
- SHE HAD AN INTUITIVE UNDERSTANDING
OF JUNG'S THEORIES.
- YES, THE THING YOU SHARED WITH HER.
- IN CLASS, ONLY IN CLASS.
- BEYOND YOUR CLASSROOM, HER LIFE IS A MYSTERY?
- YES, TO ME, IT WAS.
- SOMEBODY GAVE HER THE NEWLY PUBLISHED RED BOOK.
- WELL, THEN SOMEONE PICKED THE RIGHT GIFT FOR SARAH.
- SOMEBODY WHO SIGNS THEMSELF "K."
- THERE'S NO "K" IN MY NAME, IF THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
- UNEASY. ARROGANT. PETULANT. - YEAH.
MAKES HIM IDEALLY SUITED FOR ACADEMIA,
BUT NOT NECESSARILY GUILTY.
- SARAH WAS CLEARLY PULLED BY BOTH WORLDS
AND A DOZEN SCHOOL CLUBS--
RUNNING FOR TREASURER OF THE STUDENT BODY,
YET DRESSING LIKE A GOTH.
- HMM. STACY MENDELSON WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT.
- WHO? - OUR VALEDICTORIAN...
PRESIDENT OF THE, UH, SENIOR COUNCIL, EVERY CLUB.
I-I CAN'T PICTURE STACY AS AS GOTH...
ALTHOUGH SHE DID MARRY A BIKER.
YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW, DO YOU?
[cell phone beeping]
- SARAH'S PHONE RECORDS ARE IN.
- BUT ANY PARENT WHO HAS GONE THROUGH SIMILAR GRIEF
KNOWS THESE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO SOCIETY OVERALL HAS FAILED.
- SARAH'S FATHER-- HE'S USED THE WORD "PHASE"
FOUR TIMES IN THIS ONE INTERVIEW.
WHAT DO YOU GOT? YOU GOT SOMETHING?
- KYLE, AS IN "K" WYLER,
HE CALLED HER NUMEROUS TIMES DAILY.
I'VE GOT A DMV PHOTO.
HE'S FROM RHINEBECK.
- HE'S KIND OF WHOLESOME-LOOKING.
NAME POP ANY PLACE ELSE-- THE SCHOOL?
- HE WAS REGISTERED, BUT DROPPED OUT LAST QUARTER.
AND THERE'S AN ADDRESS.
- MM-HMM. WE SHOULD INVITE HIM IN.
- I'M STILL JUST TAKING IT ALL IN.
IT DOESN'T FEEL REAL.
- WELL, IT DIDN'T LOOK REAL, I'LL TELL YOU.
IT LOOKED, UH, MORE LIKE
SOME NIGHTMARE ILLUSTRATION FROM THE RED BOOK.
- THIS IS THE INSCRIBED COPY YOU GAVE HER.
- YEAH. UH, WE'RE--WE'RE BOTH INTO JUNG.
- "THE PROPHET OF OUR PERSONAL DARKNESS"?
- WHO O-OFFERED AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHO WE REALLY ARE.
- WERE YOU WITH SARAH LAST NIGHT?
- NO. I PULLED AN ALL-NIGHTER STUDYING IN MY DORM ROOM.
- WHY'D YOU BOTHER? YOU DROPPED OUT LAST SEMESTER.
- IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO LIE THIS EARLY ON
IN AN INTERVIEW, KYLE.
- UH, LOOK, I-I-I LIKE SARAH.
UH, I'M REALLY UPSET THAT SHE'S DEAD,
BUT LATELY WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN TOUCH.
- NOW YOU'VE MADE MATTERS WORSE.
AT 7:13 LAST NIGHT, CELL RECORDS INDICATE YOU CALLED HER.
- ONE MORE TRY AT A STRAIGHT ANSWER.
DID YOU SEE HER LAST NIGHT?
- YEAH. WE, UH-- WE MET AT A CLUB.
BUT SHE WENT HER WAY. I WENT MINE.
I DIDN'T--I NEVER REALIZED THAT THIS WOULD BE THE LAST TIME
I'D EVER SEE HER.
- WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THIS CLUB?
- THE HOLY MOTHER.
PEOPLE THAT--WHO WERE THERE CAN TELL YOU
THAT I DIDN'T LEAVE WITH HER.
- MM-HMM. RIGHT HERE IN SARAH'S RED BOOK,
"WE MUST STRUGGLE WITH EVIL AND INTEGRATE THE DEVIL..."
WHAT'D YOU MEAN BY THAT?
- IT--IT WAS JUST EXPLORING BOUNDARIES.
SARAH AND I WANTED SOMETHING REAL AND AUTHENTIC.
- WOULD YOU SAY SHE FOUND IT?
- NO. NO.
[club music]
*
I DON'T KNOW WHAT DRUGS WE TOOK,
BUT I AM COMPLETELY BLANK.
- REALLY? WELL, I REMEMBER EVERYTHING WE DID.
NO, I WOULDN'T BLAME THE DRUGS.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU SAW HER IN THERE
AND ANTON WAS DOING HER,
IT HAD TO PISS YOU OFF.
- YEAH. I MEAN, I CONFRONTED HER IN THE ALLEY,
AND IT GOT A LITTLE HEAVY, BUT I DIDN'T--
LATER, I'M NOT SURE WHAT I DID.
- WELL, MAYBE YOU BROKE THROUGH, COMPLETED A DARK PASSAGE.
THAT'S WILD. - IT'S WILD, VIRGIL?
I'M A MURDER SUSPECT.
- SO I'LL TELL THEM YOU WERE WITH ME--
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
- BUT FOR MYSELF, I NEED TO KNOW.
- YOU CAME HERE, AND YOU TRUST ME.
- YEAH. WHAT WE DID...
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO.
- WHAT WE DID WAS OUR BEGINNING.
SARAH IS A PART OF THE PAST.
- SHE CLEANED UP PRETTY GOOD.
- YEAH? WHAT'S THE STORY?
- AW, NEVER RUSH THE GOOD STUFF.
SO VAGINAL PENETRATION APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE HOURS
BEFORE HER ACTUAL DEATH.
AND THE GUY LEFT A LITTLE OF HIMSELF BEHIND.
- DNA?
- CODIS MATCHED DNA CODING TO JEREMY PARKS,
A FORMER RESIDENT OF RIKERS.
- WELL, THIS IS GOOD.
SIX MONTHS FOR SELLING CLUB DRUGS.
UH, BUT OTHER THAN THAT,
PRETTY UNIMPRESSIVE CRIMINALLY SPEAKING.
- SO SHE HAD SEX, WENT HOME, PASSED OUT,
A VEIN RUPTURES IN HER ESOPHAGUS,
SHE VOMITS BLOOD, AND CHOKES TO DEATH.
ARE WE LOOKING AT A POISONING?
- AH, THAT BRINGS US TO THE PROBLEM OF A TOX SCREEN,
WHICH REQUIRES HER BLOOD.
SARAH PRICE WAS DRAINED.
- DRAINED? - TOTALLY DRY.
DRAINAGE POINTS IN THE RIGHT FEMORAL ARTERY.
MISSED IT AT THE CRIME SCENE.
- WITH ALL THE BLOOD ON THE BODY AND THE BEDDING,
CAN YOU USE THAT FOR TOXICOLOGY?
- ALL THAT BLOOD SHE VOMITED DIDN'T BELONG TO HER.
IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE'S.
- VOMITED BLOOD THAT WASN'T HER OWN?
TALK ABOUT A TABLOID HEADLINE THAT WRITES ITSELF.
- AND HER TASTE IN BLOOD WAS FOR A RARE VINTAGE,
DUFFY-NEGATIVE,
MAINLY PRESENT IN PEOPLE OF WEST AFRICAN DESCENT.
- WEST AFRICA?
DON'T YOU TELL ME YOU'RE GONNA BRING VOODOO INTO THE MIX.
- NO. THE RARITY OF THAT BLOOD IS ACTUALLY A LUCKY BREAK.
HOSPITALS ARE HARD-PRESSED TO KEEP A SUPPLY.
WE MIGHT GET LUCKY WITH A, UH, BLOOD BANK CANVASS.
- AND THE DNA MATCH ON THE SEMEN?
- HIS NAME IS JEREMY PARKS.
HE WAS RELEASED FROM RIKERS SIX MONTHS AGO AND DISAPPEARED.
- AH, FLEW AWAY ON BAT WINGS, DID HE?
LOOK, CAN WE HAVE SOMETHING REAL, PLEASE--
SOMETHING THAT WASN'T DRAWN FROM CURRENT HIT MOVIES,
MAYBE A PRIOR CASE?
- THERE WAS A REAL EVENT TEN YEARS AGO
IN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA.
UH, JOHN CRUTCHLEY ABDUCTED A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
SHE WAS RAPED AND TORTURED,
AND HE DRAINED 45% OF HER BLOOD,
BUT SHE DIDN'T DIE AND MANAGED TO ESCAPE.
- GOOD. YOU CALL THE COPS DOWN THERE.
YOU FIND OUT IF THIS CRUTCHELY GUY
WAS PART OF A WIDER CULT MOVEMENT.
AND CAN WE CONFIRM THE BOYFRIEND'S ALIBI?
- IF HE DOESN'T COME UP WITH SOME NAMES,
HE'S COMING BACK IN.
- MEANWHILE, WE'RE GONNA GET THE DORM SECURITY TAPE,
SEE WHO SHOWS UP.
- GOOD.
- WELL, HE SURE LOOKS WASTED.
- THAT LOOKS LIKE KYLE. - YEAH, IT'S KYLE.
BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE'S, UH, TOTING ANY BAGS OF BLOOD
UNDER HIS CLOTHES.
AND IT'S NOT SARAH'S DORM.
THEIR SECURITY SYSTEM'S BEEN DOWN SINCE SEPTEMBER.
THIS IS KYLE IN HIS OWN BUILDING.
HE'S WALKING UNSTEADILY,
BUT NO VISIBLE BLOOD ON HIS CLOTHES.
AND THE TIME IS 3:41 A.M.
- THAT ALMOST GIVES HIM AN ALIBI.
ON ANOTHER NOTE, WE HAVE A DUFFY-NEGATIVE MATCH.
A HARLEM BLOOD BANK THAT BUYS RARE TYPES.
SARAH DRANK BLOOD THAT BELONGED TO SOULEYMAN CAMARA,
FORMERLY OF SENEGAL.
- DO WE HAVE AN ADDRESS?
- LAST KNOWN WAS A FLOP ON THE BOWERY,
BUT THE CLINIC SAYS HE HASN'T SHOWN UP
IN OVER A MONTH TO SELL BLOOD.
HE MIGHT'VE BEEN SELLING HIS BLOOD ON THE STREETS.
PRICES HAVE GONE UP, APPARENTLY, SINCE THE VAMPIRE CRAZE.
- SO ALONG WITH PHONY WATCHES, CDs, FALAFEL, AND KABOBS,
THERE'S TYPE "A," "B," "O," AND DUFFY-NEGATIVE.
- OUR UNDERCOVER NARCS SAY THE SELLERS
ARE CALLED "BLOOD WHORES"--
MAINLY JUNKIES.
- N.Y.P.D.
- HEY! TAKE IT EASY!
- WHAT, ARE YOU NUTS? THAT'S HOW PEOPLE GET SHOT.
SOULEYMAN, WE JUST WANT TO TALK.
WE JUST WANT TO TALK.
- I DID NOTHING. NOTHING. I'M INNOCENT.
- YOURS?
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
COSTS A LOT OF MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF A YOUNG FAMILY.
YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL.
[baby cries]
- WE KNOW YOU HAVE LIMITED OPTIONS.
- WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? - WE KNOW YOU SELL BLOOD.
WE KNOW YOU'RE DUFFY-NEGATIVE.
DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN-- JEREMY PARKS?
- WHAT DID HE DO? - MAYBE NOTHING.
BUT WE NEED TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
- I KNOW HIM, BUT HIS NAME'S NOT JEREMY.
IT'S ANTON.
- HE BUYS FROM YOU?
- BECAUSE I'M CLEAN-- NO AIDS, NO DISEASE.
ALSO, HE LIKES THAT MY BLOOD IS RARE.
- DO YOU KNOW HIS LAST NAME?
- WE MEET UP OUTSIDE ONE OF THE CLUBS.
HE WEARS STRANGE CLOTHES, LIKE FROM ANOTHER TIME.
- RIGHT LOOK?
- AND ME WITHOUT MY PURELL.
- HARD TO IMAGINE THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE WEREN'T JUST BORN HERE,
THAT THEY HAD OTHER LIVES. - UH-HUH. MANY STILL DO--
JOBS, KIDS AT HOME, LITTLE WIFEY OVER THE STOVE.
- OH, WE'VE BEEN MADE.
- YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE...
ESPECIALLY YOU-- MAGNIFICENT.
TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BE IN MY PLACE.
JUST, PLEASE, NO BADGES-- BAD FOR BUSINESS.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
HOW CAN I SPEED YOUR EXIT?
- WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO DRINK HUMAN BLOOD.
- I SEE. AND THIS IS STRANGE TO YOU?
- I WAS A BOY SCOUT.
- YES, SOME DRINK BLOOD.
PEOPLE DON'T COME HERE TO HIDE WHO THEY ARE.
THE DARKNESS FLOWS.
- REALLY? FLOWS TO WHAT PURPOSE? - SELF-AWARENESS.
DR. JUNG SUGGESTED "FACE YOUR DEMONS.
"GET TO KNOW, EVEN LOVE THEM,
AND YOU'VE OPENED UP YOUR SOUL."
- EVER OPEN UP HIS SOUL?
- I'D HAVE NO BUSINESS IF I COULDN'T KEEP SECRETS.
- SUBORNING EVIDENCE, IMPEDING A MURDER INVESTIGATION--
HAVING NO BUSINESS WON'T BE YOUR MAJOR PROBLEM.
- MY PARTNER'S VERY LOCKED INTO THE REALITY-BASED.
- OKAY, I DON'T NEED POLICE PROBLEMS.
ANTON LEBRUN.
I'VE HEARD HIM BRAG ABOUT HAVING A LOFT IN CARMINE STREET.
- SOME PEOPLE NEED TO PUSH LIMITS.
IGNORING ANY ELEMENT OF OUR NATURE,
EVEN THE DARKER SIDES, LIMITS KNOWING WHO WE ARE.
- IS THAT THE HERMETIC WISDOM OF JUNG'S RED BOOK
OR YOUR OWN RATIONALE FOR CHEAP THRILLS?
- FOUCAULT CALLED THEM "LIMIT EXPERIENCES"--
GOING BEYOND WHERE YOU FEEL IT'S SAFE.
IT'S SIMILAR TO MEDITATION.
- WITH MEDITATION,
YOU GIVE YOURSELF OVER TO A SENSE OF HARMONY, OF PEACE.
- BUT ERASING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE CONSCIOUS
AND THE UNCONSCIOUS, WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU'LL FIND?
- LIKE A VAMPIRE CRAZE POSING AS A FAITH?
all: I AM POWERFUL, MORE POWERFUL THAN OTHERS.
I AM STRONGER.
I HAVE A GREATER RESERVE OF HEALTH.
I WILL NOT DIE.
I HAVE POWER OVER OTHERS.
- ANTON LEBRUN?
OR IS IT JEREMY PARKS?
CAN WE HAVE A MOMENT IN PRIVATE, JERRY?
- [chuckles] WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE NOR FEAR
FROM MORTALS SUCH AS THESE.
I WILL SPEAK, BUT ONLY BEFORE THEM.
- OH, YOU WANT TO MAKE IT PERFORMANCE ART?
WE'RE GONNA LIMIT YOU TO A SMALL ROOM
AND AN AUDIENCE OF US.
- GIVE US SPACE.
- SO NOW ON TO SARAH PRICE. - AH, YES.
THE HEADLINES THAT BROUGHT YOU.
- ALONG WITH THE DNA FROM THE SEMEN
FOUND INSIDE HER BODY.
- AH, WELL, MANY OFFER THEMSELVES
TO THE LEADER OF A COVEN.
- IF YOU WANT TO BRAG ABOUT YOUR CONQUESTS,
LET'S STAY FOCUSED ON THE ONE WHO WAS MURDERED.
- WINE? - MM.
- YOU MIND IF I CHECK THE, UH...?
- BY ALL MEANS.
WELCOME TO THE DARKEST PART OF THE DARK SIDE, DETECTIVE.
- YOU'RE A VAMPIRE?
YOU DRINK HUMAN BLOOD?
- [hisses]
- VERY IMPRESSIVE.
DO YOU PRACTICE IN THE MIRROR AFTER YOGA?
- TOP-DOLLAR VENEERS ON THOSE FANGS--
PARK AVENUE DENTIST.
- [sighs] YOU GUYS ARE WASTING MY TIME.
YOU CAN ONLY HOLD ME FOR ANOTHER SIX HOURS
WITHOUT CHARGING ME.
- WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE IMMORTAL.
- [chuckles]
- WE MATCHED THE BLOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WITH THE TEN PINTS MISSING FROM SARAH PRICE.
WE'LL HOLD YOU LONGER THAN SIX HOURS.
- I DID NOT KILL SARAH PRICE.
- THEN EXPLAIN AWAY THE DNA.
- NO, NO, NO. NO, NO, NO.
I DIDN'T SAY I DIDN'T HAVE HER.
BUT SHE WAS, OH, SO WILLING.
- HOW'D YOU MEET? - AT THE HOLY MOTHER.
I SAW TWO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE...
RIPENED FRUIT JUST BEGGING TO BE PLUCKED.
MISS PRICE AND, UH, HER BOYFRIEND,
UM, KALE OR COLIN OR SOMETHING.
- KYLE. - KYLE.
I DEBATED, AND THEN MY HETERO ANIMUS WON OUT,
AND I PICKED HER.
WE DRANK BLOOD AND HAD SEX--
YOU KNOW, GOOD, CLEAN FUN.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME.
- THE BLOOD WAS FOREPLAY.
- BLOOD AROUSES.
BUT I DON'T KILL FOR IT, IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED.
- YOU ONLY REPORTED $45,000 OF INCOME
FOR YOUR FAITH-BASED, NONPROFIT COVEN.
BUT YOU LIVE PRETTY WELL AS A VAMPIRE.
- OH, WELL...
YOU CAN ATTRIBUTE THAT
TO BORED UPPER EAST SIDE WOMEN
WHO PAY FOR ENCOUNTERS.
LOVE IN "VEIN," IF YOU'LL ALLOW THE PUN.
- THESE WOMEN, THE UPPER EAST SIDE ADDRESSES,
ARE YOUR CLIENTS?
- WHERE ANTON TAKES HIS LIQUID LUNCH...
WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY ALIBI.
AFTER SARAH, I ENJOYED THE COMPANY
OF A LOVELY YOUNG LADY
BY THE NAME OF MICHELLE LINDEN.
[knock at door]
- PRELIMINARY TESTS ON THE CONFISCATED BLOOD.
IT'S NOT SARAH'S.
- AND I WAS STARTING TO ENJOY HIS COMPANY.
- WHERE IS HE? I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE GOT HIM.
- WE HEARD YOU FOUND A REFRIGERATOR
FULL OF HUMAN BLOOD.
- THERE IS SOMEONE OF INTEREST-- - I WANT TO SEE HIM.
- IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. - IN HERE?
- CONGRESSMAN, CONGRESSMAN.
- I'M SARAH'S FATHER.
[chair rattles loudly]
WE HAD A HOME.
WE HAD A FAMILY.
YOU TOOK THAT. - YOUR DAUGHTER CAME WILLINGLY.
SHE FLED YOUR LIES AND HYPOCRISY
AND YOUR UNHAPPINESS.
I DON'T TAKE THEM.
PARENTS LIKE YOU SEND THEM TO ME.
- WHY-- - OKAY. HEY, HEY, HEY.
- THEY'LL COME. THEY'LL ALWAYS COME.
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP THEM.
[chuckles]
- MY NAME WAS IN HIS ADDRESS BOOK?
- HE SPEAKS AS IF HE KNOWS YOU.
- MY HUSBAND IS THE PRESIDENT OF A BANK.
WHAT ON EARTH WOULD I BE DOING WITH SOME CREATURE
WHO CALLS HIMSELF A VAMPIRE?
- SO YOU'RE NOT AFRAID?
- HE'S GIVEN YOU AS HIS ALIBI FOR MURDER.
- I SHOULD CONSULT OUR ATTORNEY.
- MRS. LINDEN, THIS CLEARLY HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR EMBARRASSMENT.
BUT HE CLAIMS THAT YOU CONTRACTED HIS SERVICES
THE NIGHT THAT SARAH PRICE WAS KILLED.
- RIDICULOUS. I WAS AT AN EVENT.
- MM-HMM. HOW'D YOU GET THERE?
- WE HAVE OUR OWN DRIVER.
- WE'LL NEED TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
- THOSE PEARLS...
IT'S A VERY LOVELY CHOKER.
- IT WAS MY MOTHER'S.
- MIND IF I LOOK?
MRS. LINDEN, YOU COULD BE IN DANGER.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE HIDING.
SHOW ME.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, BUT...
IT'S VERY...INTIMATE.
IT--IT...
IT FEELS...
I-IT'S VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I'M USED TO.
WE WERE TOGETHER UNTIL FIRST LIGHT...
OF DAWN, I MEAN.
- HOW'D YOU MEET HIM?
- I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS THE PATRON
OF A AVANT-GARDE POET, A BRILLIANT AND BUDDING RIMBAUD.
HIS NAME IS VIRGIL.
HE, UH-- SHE BROUGHT HIM OVER,
AND HE BROUGHT ANTON.
- ANY SENSE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTON AND VIRGIL?
- POSSIBLY SEXUAL.
UH, VIRGIL SAID HE WAS ANTON'S PROTEGE.
HE ARRANGED OUR MEETINGS.
- SO YOU HAVE A WAY OF CONTACTING HIM.
- YES.
- I DIDN'T HEAR YOU COME IN.
- NO ONE EVER DOES.
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE HOME IN HERE--
SUCH PEACE AND TOTAL, ABSOLUTE DEVOTION.
BROUGHT MY OWN TONIGHT.
I HEEDED THE CALL.
SPECIAL.
- SPECIAL?
- TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE DEMANDS FROM BEYOND.
- BUT I OBEY YOUR DEMANDS.
- NOTHING'S REAL UNTIL...
IT WAS TAKEN.
A DEMAND WAS MADE. I OBEYED.
SOME WOULD CALL THAT MADNESS.
DRINK.
THIS IS THE PROOF OF MY BELIEF.
IT IS SARAH'S BLOOD.
TASTE THE ADRENALINE.
THAT WAS THE FEAR THAT COURSED THROUGH HER.
YES, THAT EXCITES YOU.
I'M SPECIAL.
I WILL NOT DIE.
MY BELIEF WILL ALWAYS GIVE ME POWER OVER OTHERS.
A COVEN IS NO PLACE FOR PRETENDERS, MY LOVE.
- VIRGIL IS AN A.K.A. FOR JONATHAN PARISH.
BORN 1984 IN ALTHA, FLORIDA.
THERE'S AN ARREST FOR LEWD BEHAVIOR,
PLUS INDECENT EXPOSURE.
- FLORIDA, 1984--
HE WAS ONLY 12 WHEN THE BLOOD DRAINING
OF THAT EARLIER GIRL OCCURRED.
- YEAH, BUT THAT MUST'VE BEEN HEAVILY COVERED IN THE NEWS.
RICH FODDER FOR THE ADOLESCENT MASTURBATORIAL FANTASIES
OF A DISTURBED YOUTH.
- COMBINING AROUSAL AND DEATH.
- YEAH, AND THERE ARE MORE ELEMENTS OF A DEPRIVED YOUTH.
FATHER SPENT MOST OF THE KID'S LIFE IN JAIL.
- MOM WAS A WORKING ROLE MODEL--
STEADY EMPLOYMENT AT A MEATPACKING FACILITY.
- ONCE AGAIN, THE PRESENCE OF BLOOD.
- AND A POSSIBLE FIXATION ON HIS MOTHER.
- SO WE STARTED WITH JUNG,
THEN SWITCHED TO FREUD.
THE BOY SEES HIS MOTHER COMING HOME FROM WORK
COVERED IN BLOOD.
SHE SHOWERS. HE WATCHES HER.
- HE CONSTRUCTS VIOLENT, EROTIC IMAGES.
MAYBE BRINGS IN SOME VAMPIRE STUFF.
- NO SHORTAGE OF THAT IN OUR WORLD.
- THEN BLOOD BECOMES CONNECTED TO HIS AROUSAL.
- IT'S THE SAME BASIC BEHAVIOR
THAT CAN KICK-START A SERIAL KILLER.
[cell phone beeping]
- THE STATE TAX BOARD--
GUESS WHERE VIRGIL'S CURRENTLY EMPLOYED?
- SARAH PRICE...
YES, I MET HER.
BUT I WAS MUCH MORE TAKEN WITH HER HANDSOME BOYFRIEND,
KYLE.
ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE-- THEY WERE BOTH PRETENDERS.
- PRETENDERS? - GROUPIES.
THEY CAN BE FUN, BUT SHORT-LIVED.
OH, WAS THAT INSENSITIVE?
- DELIBERATELY SO. YOU PEOPLE TRY TOO HARD.
ALONG WITH YOUR IMPRESSIVE DEMO OF THE SKILLS NEEDED
TO CARRY OUT SARAH'S MURDER,
BEGGING US TO ASK THE QUESTION,
WHERE WERE YOU THAT NIGHT BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 11:00 P.M.
AND 2:00 A.M.?
- HOME. SADLY, I WAS ALONE.
- MM. YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
UH, YOUR MOTHER BLED DEAD PIGS, AND YOU'RE DOING THIS.
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
- INTERESTING.
- WELL, PREPPING MEAT, PREPPING THE DEAD.
IN SOME PLACES, THERE'S A SPECIAL CASTE FOR THAT WORK--
PARIAHS, OUTCASTS.
NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW THEM. - DOESN'T BOTHER ME.
- YEAH, IF IT DID, YOU'VE OVERCOME IT
WITH A MORE THEATRICAL IDENTITY.
VAMPIRE BEATS THE HELL OUT OF PARIAH.
- PEOPLE SHOULD RESPECT WHAT I DO.
IN THE END, EVERYBODY ENDS UP IN MY HANDS
OR IN THE HANDS OF SOMEONE JUST LIKE ME.
- WHO DON'T ALL CLAIM TO BE VAMPIRES.
- DOES ANYBODY REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?
NOW, UNLESS YOU PLAN TO ARREST ME,
I BETTER FINISH TENDING TO MR. ROCKWELL.
DOES IT HURT? - [crying] YES.
BUT IT'S GOOD.
[wincing]
OH, I'M READY FOR THE BEST.
- LET THE PAIN BEAR YOU AWAY ON SILENT WINGS,
AND THERE WILL BE BIGGER THINGS.
THE VOICE WILL CALL TO YOU AS IT CALLED TO ME.
[metal clatters]
BELIEF REQUIRES OBEDIENCE
TO MAKE IT REAL.
- [gasping and groaning in pain]
- THERE'S NO QUESTION IN OUR MINDS
THIS VIRGIL GUY IS REAL.
- REAL WHAT? AND DON'T SAY VAMPIRE.
- WELL, HERE, TAKE IT DOWN TO BASICS.
HE'S A TEXTBOOK PSYCHOTIC--
FEARLESS, DEVOID OF EMPATHY.
BUT I THINK ALSO HE'S DELUSIONAL.
- SO IN HIS OWN MIND, HE IS A VAMPIRE?
AND HE FEELS THE NEED FOR BLOOD,
AND NOW WITH THIS CULTURAL FAD, IT'S READILY AVAILABLE TO HIM?
- KILLING SARAH PRICE WOULD VALIDATE HIM,
MAKE HIM FEEL AUTHENTIC.
- MORE THAN PERFORMANCE ART IN A LOW-LIFE CLUB SCENE.
- THE UPPER EAST SIDE LADY HAD IT WRONG.
IT'S VIRGIL WHO LEADS. ANTON FOLLOWS.
- SO VIRGIL, LIKE HIS NAMESAKE,
LEADS THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO FOLLOW...
INTO HELL.
- HMM.
- I AM PRIEST, PROPHET, AND PACIFIER.
BLOOD, GIVEN AT BIRTH, RETURNS IN DEATH.
I BANISH YOUR SOUL FROM THIS BODY
AND GRANT YOU EVERLASTING LIFE.
YOU ARE BRAVE.
YOU'VE EARNED THIS, AS SARAH DID.
PREPARE YOURSELF.
YOU WILL JOIN HER.
- TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
THIS IS DONE BY MY WILL ALONE.
I AM A SEEKER.
AND I RELEASE MY BLOOD FOR OTHERS TO SHARE.
I FULFILL MY LONGING TO EMBRACE THE WEALTH OF THE SPIRIT.
THE PSYCHE DOES NOT EXIST WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS
OF TIME AND SPACE.
THE PSYCHE DOES NOT EXIST WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS
OF TIME AND SPACE.
- WHAT AN IDIOTIC WASTE. - YEAH.
TRANSCENDENCE...
DEATH AND TRANSFIGURATION--
MOVING FROM HUMAN FLESH TO RADIANCE.
IT'S A COMMON RELIGIOUS THEME.
- WANT TO TALK CREEPY THEOLOGY, LET'S START WITH HIM.
- HE SAID ANYTHING?
- CLAIMS HE WALKED IN AND FOUND THE GUY.
DID HIS DUTY AS A CITIZEN, CALLED 911.
- HOW WOULD KYLE HAVE GOTTEN INTO YOUR LOFT?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- SO PEOPLE JUST WANDER IN AND BLEED THEMSELVES TO DEATH?
THAT'S A SERVICE YOU OFFER?
- THE LOFT IS A HOLY SANCTUM.
A YOUNG MAN EXERCISED HIS RIGHT TO BE AT ONE WITH HIS BELIEF.
I DON'T SEE THE CRIME IN THAT.
- WELL...
DO YOU SEE THE CRIME IN THIS?
- SARAH PRICE?
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
- BUT NOT WITHOUT FRESH EVIDENCE.
- SEE THIS NEEDLE AND THE TUBING?
THE BAGS USED FOR BLOOD STORAGE--
THEY NOT ONLY HAD KYLE'S BLOOD TYPE,
BUT ALSO SARAH'S.
- I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
- WE DO. THIS EQUIPMENT WAS USED TO DRAIN HER.
DNA WILL TIE YOU TO SARAH'S MURDER.
- YOU GOT NOTHING GOING FOR YOU AT THIS POINT, ANTON,
EXCEPT OUR BELIEF...
THAT YOU'RE INNOCENT.
- WHAT?
- WE THINK IT'S OBVIOUS YOU'RE BEING FRAMED.
- UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT WE THINK ISN'T GONNA CARRY
ANY WEIGHT WITH THE D.A.s.
THEY'RE GONNA LAY A MURDER CASE ON YOU
JUST LIKE VIRGIL PLANNED IT.
- NO. NO, VIRGIL IS AN ELEVATED PERSON.
HE LEADS THE FAITH.
- HE CAN BE PRAGMATIC WHEN IT COMES TO SAVING HIS ASS.
- YOU BROUGHT SARAH INTO YOUR WORLD.
LOOK. LOOK AT THAT.
AND THIS IS HOW SHE ENDED UP...
LIKE THAT.
SO YOU HAVE FEELINGS.
BUT VIRGIL HAS NONE.
AND THAT'S HIS STRENGTH, HIS POWER OVER YOU, ANTON.
- HIS STRENGTH COMES IN POWERS BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
- UH, HIS BEHAVIOR IS TOTALLY WITHIN OUR UNDERSTANDING.
THERE ARE THREE TEXTBOOK PHASES OF PSYCHOPATHY.
PHASE ONE IS ASSESSMENT.
WHEN VIRGIL FIRST MEETS YOU, WHAT DOES HE SEE?
- A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, YOU WERE WAITING TABLES.
IS THAT WHEN YOU MET VIRGIL?
- WHAT OF IT?
- WELL, HE DECIDED THAT YOU WERE WORTH KNOWING,
OF VALUE TO HIM.
SO HE RAISES YOU FROM WAITER TO WARLOCK,
SETS YOU UP WITH THESE RICH CLIENTS.
- NO, HE RAISED ME TO A GREATER TRUTH.
- OH, YEAH, WHEN YOU'RE COMMITTED,
HE MOVES ON TO PHASE TWO-- MANIPULATION.
YOU START ACTING ON HIS COMMANDS.
YOU FIND SARAH AND KYLE, DELIVER THEM TO VIRGIL.
- MAYBE WE HAVE IT WRONG.
MAYBE ANTON KILLED SARAH AND KYLE.
- NO. - NO.
KILLING WAS A RITUAL THAT TOOK VIRGIL
TO A HIGHER LEVEL.
HE KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING ANTON COULDN'T DO.
- SEE THIS?
DID YOU DO THIS? YES OR NO?
- WHICH TAKES US TO THE THIRD AND FINAL PHASE
OF VIRGIL'S PSYCHOTIC BEHAVIOR-- ABANDONMENT.
YOU COULDN'T REACH A HIGHER LEVEL,
SO YOU WERE OF NO MORE USE TO HIM.
SO HE PLANTS SARAH'S BLOOD IN YOUR LOFT.
- HE PUT YOU ON OUR ALTAR FOR SACRIFICE.
[footsteps approaching]
- ANTON...
I UNDERSTOOD THEY ARRESTED YOU.
- THEY QUESTIONED ME, YES.
- AND YOU WERE TRUE TO THE FAITH?
- THEY SHOWED ME EVIDENCE, VIRGIL.
- PLEASE SAY YOU HAVEN'T DISAPPOINTED ME.
- ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE EFFORT YOU MADE TO FRAME HIM,
RIGHT, VIRGIL?
- THE COPS?
I OFFER THINGS, BUT PEOPLE AREN'T APPRECIATIVE.
I SIMPLY WANTED ANTON TO KNOW THE TRUE GLORY OF MARTYRDOM.
- WE THINK THAT'S A GLORY THAT YOU DESERVE.
- YEAH, IF YOU ACTUALLY ARE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE,
YOU SHOULD BE ENVIOUS IF SOMEBODY ELSE GETS CREDIT
FOR YOUR WORK.
- NO, I'M BEYOND ENVY...
BUT NOT DISAPPOINTMENT.
YOU FAILED ME.
- I BELIEVED IN YOU UNTIL YOU BETRAYED ME, VIRGIL.
- OH, I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE WEAK.
THERE'S SO LITTLE STRENGTH IN THIS WORLD.
- IT DOESN'T TAKE STRENGTH TO HAVE DELUSIONS, VIRGIL,
AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE.
- DELUSIONS ARE UNFOUNDED BELIEFS.
MY BELIEFS ARE PROVEN BY EVERYTHING I DO.
HAVE THEY TAKEN AWAY...
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, ANTON?
HAVE YOU NOTHING LEFT OF OUR FAITH?
YOU REMEMBER THE PLEDGE.
AM I NOT THE SOURCE...
THE BLOOD...
THE DELIVERER AND THE TAKER?
SACRED WORDS THAT BIND US AS FAMILY.
- PLANTED EVIDENCE CUTS A LOT OF FAMILY TIES.
- SAY THE PLEDGE.
TAKE STRENGTH FROM ME.
THERE ARE HIGHER LEVELS.
- YOU'VE LOST HIM, VIRGIL.
YOU'RE ALONE.
- NO...
NEVER ALONE.
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE POWER OF DARKNESS.
- ANTON DOESN'T SEE IT. WE DON'T SEE IT.
THAT'S BECAUSE I WILL ALWAYS BE
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES UPON YOU.
- AT LAST, THE REAL YOU.
- MY POWER IS UNDIMINISHED.
- NO, WITH A LITTLE SOAP AND WATER,
YOUR POWER HAS VANISHED.
- WHY AM I HERE?
WHY THIS WASTE OF MY TIME?
- WELL, WE WOULD BE REMISS IN OUR PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATIONS
IF WE DIDN'T AT LEAST MENTION A PLEA.
- A PLEA?
- WE HAVE EVIDENCE, WITNESS TESTIMONY--
ALL THAT'S NEEDED FOR A MURDER CONVICTION.
IF YOU ALLOCUTE, AVOID A TRIAL,
SAVES THE STATE A LOT OF MONEY.
- YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT DO BETTER THAN LIFE IN SUPERMAX.
- NO.
I WANT A TRIAL.
- STILL DESPERATE.
- YOUR ACT REALLY MEANS THAT MUCH TO YOU, HUH?
- KNOWING THAT I AM ETERNAL
MEANS THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
- WELL, YOU KNOW,
I THINK YOU MAY BE WRONG ABOUT THAT, JONATHAN.
LOCKED IN AN 8-BY-12 CELL, NO HUMAN CONTACT,
NO HOPE OF PAROLE,
AND TIME SLOWING TO A GLACIAL PACE.
AND THERE YOU'LL SIT...
JUST BEING ETERNAL?
