Previously on Moonlight:
She's been lying to us.
She's Coraline.
- Aah! - No! She's not a vampire.
She's human. She has a cure. Something changed her back.
And if she dies, I'll never know what that was...
or how she did it.
I came back for you.
You have to tell me how.
I'm an attorney in the DA's office.
Pat everyone down, starting with him.
I saw the way you two looked at each other.
What's going on with you two?
You've been together for a year and you're not living together.
Don't you think it's time to get serious?
I didn't leave things very well with Josh. I do think I need to get home.
The rest of the city goes to sleep, and I've just woken up.
One of the many attributes that attach a vampire to a life of solitude.
There are questions I ask myself that I just don 't know how to answer.
All these questions surround one uncertainty:
How does an immortal...
handle mortal feelings?
So right now we got you pinned as a member of the HEM brotherhood.
And got enough on tape...
to convict you of both trafficking and money laundering.
You wear a wire, I can ask for immunity.
You refuse to cooperate, I file formal charges tomorrow.
You do what you gotta do.
You're looking at getting out...
sometime after your daughter's 35th birthday, Mr. Tejada.
And you're looking at a miserable future if you come after me.
- This isn't El Salvador. - My client has given his answer.
Well, that went exactly as expected.
If I'm reading between the lines about my miserable future...
I might need some protection.
You heard about what happened in La Palma. He went after a prosecutor.
No, not the prosecutor. It was the prosecutor's wife.
The judge down there ended up declaring a mistrial.
You know, I think you're doing the world a favor by moving forward with this.
Listen, be careful.
They play rough in El Salvador.
Your Honor, in assessing flight risk...
I ask that you consider Mr. Tejada is a well-known ranking member...
in the Hermanos En Muerte gang, commonly referred to as HEM...
which, as you're well aware of, Your Honor...
is thought to be one of the most dangerous in the world.
Known for ruthless violence in protecting...
an extremely well-organized trafficking and money-laundering network...
that extends to countries, if not continents.
Mr. Tejada has refused to cooperate...
which indicates that he still has ties to this complex network of...
It's not good to accuse innocent men.
Remember that.
So why did you take Coraline's blood?
Answers. I think it might be the key to the cure.
You really hate being a vampire, don't you?
Well, hate's a strong word.
So, yeah, that works.
Can't be all that bad to live forever.
I mean, you'll see things when I'm gone, when everyone's gone...
that we can't even imagine now.
- Like what? - Cars that can fly.
A diet soda that doesn't suck.
Yeah, but it's not so fun to experience things alone.
So take a vampire wife, then.
Tried that one. Didrt work out so well.
So are you gonna help me with this or not?
Why don't you take that to Guillermo and get a toxicology report?
- Not with this one. - I have a friend, Dr. Lin, at Bionalysis.
Okay, good.
It's better we go outside the vampire nation with this.
Yeah, why?
Well, vampires like me might see this as a cure.
But others might see it as a threat.
Hmm. Okay.
Oh, my God.
What happened? Are you okay?
Do you mind if I talk to Beth for a moment?
- Alone. - Yeah, sure.
No problem. I'm on my way out.
I'll see you tomorrow at 10, Bionalysis, okay?
What happened?
I recused myself from the Tejada case.
But you're filing charges against him tomorrow.
- I was. - What is going on?
- You've been marked. - What?
They'll come after you.
You can't recuse yourself from the trial.
It gives out the message that the DA's intimidated.
I know.
If I recuse, it emboldens the bad guys. Noble idea.
This is reality.
Tejada mutilated a prosecutor's wife in El Salvador.
That kind of thing does not happen in the U.S.
Tell that to the families of the three DEA agents...
he supposedly killed in El Centro.
But believe me, if it were me that were marked and not you...
I'd never step down.
Never. But it's not.
You've spent two years of your life on this case.
I know that.
But I can't put you at risk.
It means a lot that you would sacrifice this much for me.
Look, if you recuse yourself and the case fails...
and Tejada goes on to kill someone else's brother or wife or daughter...
You have to stay on this case. It's the right thing to do.
I forgot how cute you are when you're crusading.
I missed you so much.
I can 't help myself from entertaining the idea of telling Beth how I feel.
- I know I haven't been here for you. - You're here now.
That's all that matters.
I hope everything's okay.
I've got caught up in my work.
I love that about you.
I wouldn't want you to be any different.
Bobby. Yeah, thanks for getting back to me so fast.
Listen, I wanna set up a security detail ASAP.
Why don't you coordinate this with Lt. Carl Davis?
If you're gonna do that, I don't want any academy cadets...
or chain-smoking detectives following me around, okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
Uh-huh.
What time is it?
An hour after you were supposed to meet me at Bionalysis.
Sorry. I completely lost track of time.
It's okay. I dropped the sample off with Dr. Lin.
She said it's gonna be ready in 24 hours.
No, no excuses. I'm serving an arrest warrant today.
I need the tac squad to have a protection team by noon.
Tac squad?
- Somebody needs police protection? - Yes, me.
Come in.
To be honest, I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing.
But she keeps insisting.
Yeah, Beth tends to do that.
Yeah, she does.
But she's right. You shouldn't step down.
I'd appreciate if you keep an eye on her until the tac squad gets in place.
- I won't let anything happen to her. - I know you won't.
Just keep your eyes open. Tejada's ruthless.
Okay.
Thanks, man.
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please.
It's time for the father-daughter dance at our sweet 16 party.
So please give a warm welcome to Mr. Chemma Tejada...
and his daughter, Nicole.
Thank you so much for my party, Daddy.
Nothing's too good for you.
I'm so proud of you.
Big hand for Nicole. Happy sweet 16.
Have fun, baby. It's your day.
Nicole! Nicole! Come dance with me.
All right, let's go.
You guys clear the kitchen.
Chemma Tejada.
I have a warrant for your arrest on drug-trafficking charges.
- What's going on? - It's nothing, don't worry.
- Don't touch him! - Don't you touch...!
Get away from him!
- Get away from him! - Don't worry, it's okay.
You shouldn't have made this personal. Don't threaten her again.
I won't forget this.
What do you mean, nothing?
Pharmaceutical drugs, trace botanicals, additional hormones?
There's nothing in there that's not supposed to be.
What about unknown substances? Something you couldn't identify.
Nothing. Not even caffeine. The sample was essentially untainted.
I assume it came from a child?
- No, why? - That's surprising.
As we get older, we tend to accumulate toxins.
That blood is pure, almost like new.
Based on the levels of free radicals...
I was positive that was a child's blood sample.
No.
- Well, thanks, Alison. - Yeah, thank you.
Uh, one more thing.
I said there was nothing unusual in the toxicology.
The blood type, however, is rare.
- How rare? - Extremely rare.
Less than one person per million has it.
- Type... - AO negative.
- How did you know? - That's my blood type.
Furthermore, Mr. Tejada has refused to cooperate...
which indicates he still has ties to Hermanos En Muerte.
These allegations are specious.
The state has introduced no definitive evidence...
that my client is in any way associated with Hermanos En Muerte.
He has never been charged with a felony or violent crime.
Your Honor, Tejada has willfully flouted the rule of law...
by intimidating the prosecution.
The state has provided no conclusive evidence...
that such intimidation occurred.
And furthermore, if there was such intimidation...
no evidence links it to my client.
Depose me right now, Your Honor. I am happy to.
But I didn't wanna delay the proceedings.
There is ample reason to deny bail.
Based on the conjecture of the state?
What is not conjecture, Your Honor, is that Mr. Tejada owns and operates...
a local dry-cleaning business.
He has significant family in the area...
and is a respected individual in his community.
He's willing to surrender his passport and post a surety bond.
- He's a flight risk, a proven threat... - Okay. I get it.
Gentlemen, I'm gonna set bail at the amount of $5 million.
- Thank you, Your Honor. - Thank you.
He'll be home for dinner.
Of all the girls Coraline could've kidnapped 22 years ago...
maybe there's a reason why she singled me out.
Perhaps we have the same blood type.
Maybe AO negative is connected to the cure.
Well, I'm not sure about that.
For a vampire, the best possible blood to consume...
is fresh human blood from a child...
that matches the vampire's blood type.
- So hang on a second... - Wait.
- What? - I hear something.
Stay down.
Come on, man, let's go.
- You okay? - You're bleeding. You got hit.
It's not my blood. It's Coraline's.
Ow.
I came as soon as I heard.
Are you okay? Why didn't you call?
I wasrt badly hurt, and I knew you were still in a hearing, so...
- Are you okay? - I'm fine, we both are.
Hopefully you'll be safe now. I brought the protection team with me.
Beth, Carl brought Commander Murphy and officers Robinson and Clayton...
to protect you, okay? - Hi.
Thanks for looking out for her. It sounds like it was a close call.
- Yeah, it was. Real close. - This close, actually.
I'm so sorry, Beth. That must have been terrifying.
Yeah, it was.
Supersonic vampire hearing can definitely help you.
Thank God you're all right.
I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you.
But it can also hurt you.
I love you too.
The DA pinches me at my daughter's birthday party.
He shows me no respect.
In San Salvador, the policia shows up like that, man...
They'll be muerto.
Mi hermana says it's only a party.
But you only turn 16 once.
I want you to bring that DA to me.
And bring him alive, huh?
I'm gonna get going back downtown.
Got it.
- Okay, you got it. - Thanks for everything.
Oh, God.
- You scared me. - I'm sorry.
There's nothing to worry about. The tac squad's got you covered.
I'm so sorry about the blood sample.
We may still have a chance.
The most important thing is that you're safe.
We'll check it out.
Josh!
Beth, what is it? Come on.
Freeze!
Beth! Beth, get back in the house.
Officer down. Call an ambulance.
- Get in. - Go, go.
- That wasrt the plan. - Had no choice.
You need to call Tejada.
We have to keep them in sight.
There.
Look out.
Damn it.
- Oh, my God. - It's okay.
Turn right, man.
Come on, let's get off the main road.
- Where did they go? - Pull over.
We need to find them.
They could've gone three ways. Don't drive in the wrong direction.
We have to pinpoint their location...
and hope that Josh has got his cell phone with him.
Beth, pull over.
Okay, okay.
Okay, I'm calling him.
It's not going straight to voice mail, so it is turned on.
That's good.
You've reached Josh 's mailbox.
Leave a message and I'll call you back.
- Logan Griffen speaking. - Mick St. John. I have an emergency.
Well, I've got two fried hard drives. Life sucks.
Logan, listen to me. Somebody's been kidnapped, okay?
He has his cell phone on him and it's got GPS.
- I need you to triangulate the location. - Okay, jeez, okay. What's the number?
- 310. - 310.
- 555. - 555.
- 0119. - 0119.
About 45 seconds and I should have it.
Come on, Josh, pick up.
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
Thirty seconds.
Come on.
Slow down, listen.
Please, Josh, pick up.
Josh! Josh, it's Beth.
We're coming to get you. Just hold on, okay?
We're coming to get you, okay? Hold on.
The phone is...
It's not on a street. It's at Griffith Park, close to the observatory.
Go, go, go.
Then make a right up here. They're in Griffith Park.
Josh, we're coming.
We're coming to get you, okay? Hold on.
Just get Carl on the phone and tell him where we're going, okay?
Carl, we found Josh. He's in Griffith Park.
I don't know, somewhere by the observatory.
Wait.
What's he doing?
I don't know.
Should we get out of here?
Give it a minute.
Okay, listen to me.
Beth, when we find them, we have to get up next to them, okay?
And then we have to cut them off. We have to pin them in.
As soon as we do, you have to get down and stay down.
- Tell me you understand. - I understand.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
There, there, Beth, there they are.
Let's go, let's go.
Oh, my God. Josh.
- You okay? - Beth.
- You're okay. - Here, buddy.
- Help me untie him. - Let's get you out.
You're okay.
- Let me help you. - You're gonna be fine, Josh.
It's okay, it's okay.
- Oh, my God. - All right.
Call 911.
Beth, call 911 now.
- 911 operator. - We need an ambulance.
Somebody's been shot. We're in Griffith Park.
Give me a moment to find your location. Southwest of the golf course?
- By the pond. - On our way.
- Come here. Take your jacket off. - Huh?
Take it off. Take your jacket off.
Now, we have to apply pressure here.
Put your hand here. Keep the pressure on, okay?
We have to stop the bleeding while I stabilize the other wounds.
Keep that pressure on now.
Come on, come on.
- Josh, please. - Beth...
I was a medic back in World War II.
Multiple gunshot wounds were common.
You did the best you could with what was available to you.
It's okay, buddy.
Oh, no. How is he? We need to get him to the hospital.
- No, we can't move him. - We need to move him to the car now.
He's bleeding to death, okay? I'm trying to stabilize the wounds.
We've got an ambulance on the way. You got one guy here.
The other guy's in the car, okay?
- Stay with us. - He's still breathing.
Come on, Josh. You stay with us.
The artery in his neck is severed.
I need to make sure blood is getting to his brain.
Give me your hand. Hold your hand right there.
- Keep the pressure on. - Okay.
Good work, buddy. You're doing fine.
Stay with him, Beth.
Just stay with us.
I'm so sorry.
Come on.
All right, I'm gonna cauterize the artery.
- Hold him still, hold him still. - Stay still, stay still.
That's good. Okay.
That's good. We've got this area mostly under control.
Now keep pressure on that abdomen. That's good.
You're doing a great job. You're doing a great job, okay?
The tourniquet isn 't working.
I've got to stop the blood flow to his femoral artery.
Take your necklace off.
- What? - Just do it.
- How do you know what you're doing? - You learn a lot in war. Hold it.
You find out why some people make it and others don 't.
Now, this is gonna hurt him. You hold him still.
- Be brave, buddy. - Right.
Be brave.
It's okay.
If I can tie the necklace around Josh 's artery...
I can stop the bleeding in his leg.
You're okay. You're okay.
- What day is it? - It's Friday.
- October? - No, sweetie, it's January.
Our anniversary's in October.
I know.
You took me on our first date on the 17th.
Remember?
You took me to your favorite dive bar, Rustic Inn.
- Video golf. - Ha-ha.
We stayed up till 2 in the morning.
I've never had so much fun my whole life.
I had to make sure you were my kind of girl.
Oh, Go...
The artery's clamped.
That should stop the blood flow to the legs.
All this blood is taking its toll on Beth.
It's the sunlight that's taking its toll on me.
- Come on, move it. - How long on that ambulance?
Two, maybe three minutes.
He won 't last three.
At the end of the day, not a lot separates life and death.
He needs CPR. You breathe for him, do you know how to do that?
- Yes. - Okay, breathe, now.
Two breaths, come on.
That's what makes it precious.
And breathe.
Come on, man.
Don't leave me! Josh!
Come on.
I don 't hear anything.
No pulse, no circulation, nothing.
Stay with me.
Stay with me, Josh.
You can save him.
No, I can't do that.
Yes, you can. Turn him, he'll live.
That's not living, Beth.
Save him, please, for me.
Please.
He's human, Beth, okay?
This is what happens.
- What happened? - Multiple gunshots.
He's right over there.
Grab the monitor and the jump bag.
- What do you got? - His heart stopped 45 seconds ago.
Excuse me.
- Ready to ventilate. - Copy that, ready to ventilate.
No pulse, he's not breathing. I'll do paddle check.
Paddle check.
- Clear. - Clear.
- Check for pulse. - No pulse.
Okay, V-fib, 360. Everybody clear.
Clear.
Check for pulse.
Okay, check for pulse. No pulse.
- Everybody clear. - Clear.
Check for pulse.
- Pulse? - No pulse.
Charging 360. Everybody clear.
Clear.
I'm sorry, he's gone.
- Beth. - Stay away from me.
Bustos ain't talking.
Huerta's in intensive care and Tejada's probably long gone.
Give me five minutes alone with Bustos.
Mick, I can't do that. Risk letting this guy walk on a technicality?
He's not gonna walk. There's not gonna be a technicality.
I won't touch him. You can watch from here.
Just give me five minutes.
Let's go.
- Alone. - All right, you've got five minutes.
It's a waste of time.
I'm gonna ask you a question, and you probably should answer it.
- No, wait. - No way!
Get him away! Get him away from me!
Get him away!
Tell me where to find Tejada.
El diablo, get him away!
Get him away!
Where is Tejada?
- Whatever he's doing, it's working. - Last time.
Where is he?
Answer my question.
He's at the Hollenback Bar.
Chatswon'th.
Hey, what just happened?
He's holed up at the Compost Bar in Boyle Heights.
Compost Bar in Boyle Heights.
Good work.
I hated lying to Carl like that.
Tejada had escaped justice for long enough.
And I had a score to settle.
Tejada made this personal.
When it comes to revenge and vampires, blood is vengeance.
Where's Tejada?
Then there's the part in every bar scene where the bartender pulls out a shotgun.
Right on cue.
You missed me.
I see them staring at me like I'm inuman.
Those looks used to bother me.
Not now.
Where's Tejada?
In the office.
Tejada.
What, you come to my place? You come to my place and spill blood?
Big mistake, because now I'll have your blood.
Gonna answer that?
I don't wanna talk to anyone.
Please, could you just leave?
Just give me a minute.
I know you're angry that I didn't turn Josh.
But I didn't kill him. Huerta killed him and Tejada killed him.
Beth...
his job killed him.
You can't blame me for him being gone.
Turning someone into a vampire isn't saving a life, it's taking one.
Because it's a curse. I know, you tell me all the time.
You don't know. Beth, how could you know?
If you hate what you are so much, then why do you go on living?
You make me want to.
I'm not really sure.
I did a lot of bad things after I was turned, Beth.
Things that you could never imagine.
Things I carry tremendous amounts of guilt about.
I wanna make up for them.
Beth?
I just can't stop thinking about him.
If you'd have done it, he'd still be here.
What if it were me lying there instead of Josh...
seconds before death, would you have saved me?
Would you have saved me?
I would've done the same thing.
She asked me something I've asked myself over and over again.
The truth is, I don 't know what I would do.
What I do know is at the end of the day...
not a lot separates life and death.
Only one thing: Eternity.
