Previously on Moonlight:
Ever think about becoming an investigator?
I'm not a cop.
You don't have to be, but you would have to work for me.
Mick, Beth.
This is Sarah Whitley.
- What happened to her? - He tried to turn her.
I fed her my blood, didn't work.
All these years, you ranting how it could never work between us and humans.
You gonna try and make your thing with Beth work?
Children are a part of most normal human relationships.
Our relationship being neither normal nor human.
But Josef was right, vampires can't have kids.
I just didn't know how much I wanted a family.
Family's not only about DNA.
Tonight, Hearst College honors Josef Kostan...
whose donation has made possible the Sarah Whitley Memorial Sports Arena.
The new home of the Hearst College Rough Riders basketball team.
To commemorate this, we're retiring the jersey of the man...
who led our team to the national championship last year.
He may have gone to the pros, but he'll always be Hearst's favorite son.
Ladies and gentlemen, number 24, Dominic Michaels.
Josef Kostan celebrated as a civic-minded entrepreneur.
Definitely won'th putting on the monkey suit for.
And of course, there are the fringe benefits.
Like spending the evening with Beth.
This is great. I feel like I'm back at my high-school prom.
You know, prom wasrt really big back in the 1700s.
High school either.
The plague. The plague was big.
What's your connection to Hearst? You attend the college?
No, no. I founded it.
Lost a bet with William Randolph.
- I like the dress. - Oh, thank you.
It's a Valentino?
Civil service doesn't pay quite that well.
Right. Thank you.
How's the civilian investigator thing going?
I don't think Mick likes your new boss.
He's still trying to decide if Talbot has romantic intentions towards me.
Nice. Mick's not the jealous type.
Speaking of jealous...
Mick isn't suicidal enough to hit on my date.
Your date?
Let me guess.
She was born to Hungarian aristocracy in 1715...
danced Swan Lake with the Bolshoi Ballet before you turned her?
Actually, Simone was born in Reseda in '80.
And nobody turned her.
Your girlfriend's a human?
She's not my girlfriend.
She's one of my lawyers. Quite an up-and-comer.
- Willing source of liquid refreshment. - You drink her blood?
Just on Tuesdays and Fridays, but she wanted to come to the party.
Simone, this is Beth Turner.
Hi, Mick was just telling me about you. All good things.
- Josef's told me about you too. - Oh.
Well, if you'll excuse us.
Time for a drink. And the champagne just ain't cutting it.
And we'll be right back.
She just lets him drink her blood?
Yeah, it's not uncommon. A lot of vampires have, uh, human donors.
We call them freshies.
Is it like a paid arrangement or friends with benefits?
- Well, it depends on the circumstances. - So I suppose you've had freshies.
I've been a vampire for over 50 years now.
I take that as a yes.
- How many? - I don't know. Not many.
- Rough "guesstimate"? - Back off, Hank.
Dominic, don't.
Hey, hey, hey.
Break it up. Cool off, Hank, or get out.
Okay?
Calm down. It's over, Dominic.
Who are those two?
It's Dominic's managers, Emma and Jackson Monaghan.
They got Josef courtside seats...
to every Laker game since Wilt Chamberlain played.
- Dominic's managers are vampires? - Yeah.
They've been married for something like 150 years.
A hundred and fifty years?
That gives a whole new meaning to "till death do us part."
You wanna dance?
Yeah.
A hundred and fifty years with one person?
That seems like a long time.
Well, it depends who you're with.
How long were you and Coraline married?
Technically, 33 years.
And that did feel like a really long time.
But here you are dipping your toe in the dating pool again.
- Well... - Do you realize...
this is our fourth official date.
Define official.
Any outing that doesn't involve dead bodies.
You're such a romantic, you know that?
What's going on?
Maybe she...
It's Dominic.
She was in...
Simone.
I didn't do it.
I guess this won 't be our fourth date after all.
Simone?
- Hi. - Hey.
- ADA Talbot asked me to speak to you. - That's right.
Mick told me that you work for the DA.
- And you used to be a reporter? - Mm-hm.
I think we can both agree that I've got a pretty lame story.
I wouldn't want any of my clients going to court with it.
But I didn't kill Dominic.
You told Talbot he was already in the tank when you found him?
I was trying to get him out, I mean, it was...
stupid and too late, anyway.
Why didn't you tell Talbot you were with Josef?
Because we were, um...
Oh.
And then afterward, I went to the bathroom to get cleaned up.
At least if you were with Josef, it gives you some kind of alibi.
That would give the police a reason to look at Josef more closely.
I can't risk that.
You know what it's like.
Keeping their secret is the number one rule.
It's weird talking about them with someone.
We're members of a very exclusive club, you and I.
I know it's none of my business...
your arrangement with Josef...
are you ever afraid that he'll go too far?
That he'll accidentally turn you?
Josef's careful.
Although, I mean, sometimes I...
I do wonder.
You'd want him to turn you?
No.
I mean, no. Of... Of course not.
- Beth, can I talk to you for a minute? - Thank you.
Okay, well, then, we'll let everyone know.
- Did she tell you anything new? - No.
If there was some kind of kinky-gone-wrong, she should say so.
Why do you think there was something between Simone and Dominic?
Dominic's coach said she came to his games.
Even left with him a few times. Sounds like something to me.
Have you interviewed Hank Bishop yet? He and Dominic got into it at the party.
No. He was gone by the time the cops got there.
- They're looking for him. - How long are you gonna keep her?
Till I figure out what she's hiding.
A hundred million dollars of architecture and all the papers talk about is Dominic.
- At least I get a write-off. - Hey.
- Where's Simone? - Talbot's holding her.
He's not sure if Dominic's death was an accident or not.
He said Simone knew Dominic.
Well, she never said anything to me.
Talbot thinks they were sleeping together.
Well, we're not exclusive.
What Simone does is her business.
- How very egalitarian of you. - That's a big word.
Look, forget Simone.
- There's too many vampires in this. - Look, don't worry.
We'll find out what happened before cops ask the wrong questions.
We'll start with Emma and Jackson.
Good. I'm going home.
It's past my bedtime.
- Josef's upset. - I think he's jealous.
And that blood isn't the only bodily fluid he and Simone are exchanging.
It's hard to believe he'd get that involved.
With a freshie?
Especially with a freshie.
Josef has his rules.
Josef said you'd be coming by.
And that you're, how shall we say, friend of the family.
I guess I am, yeah.
I saw you with Jackson at the party. How did you two meet?
Oh, I came over from Ireland during the famine.
Buried my family there.
I was turned on the ship. Never even saw who did it.
- How horrible. - Yes.
Well, my brother was a boxer.
So when I landed in New York, I went to the fights...
searching for something familiar, and Jackson was there.
The moment I saw him, he felt like home.
He made you feel safe.
Yeah, he didn't care what I was. That's how I knew he was the one.
- So he let you turn him? - Mm-hm.
He wanted to be with me.
Forever.
Just wish I'd known about the snoring first.
So after all this time, no regrets?
No. Not one.
A hundred fifty years later, I can still remember exactly...
what Jackson was wearing the night we first met.
So, what were Dominic and Hank fighting about at the party?
Hank was on the Hearst team with Dominic.
They would compete for everything. Playing time, girls, you name it.
Any particular girls?
Dominic was sowing his wild oats.
- Do they still say that? - L...
He wasrt mature enough for anything serious.
Do you think Hank is capable of murder?
Dominic made the big time.
Hank thought it should be him.
There was a lot of bad blood there.
That's beautiful.
Getting soft after all these years?
Hearst was in my March Madness bracket.
This guy helped me win the office pool.
Can't a man grieve?
- C.o.d.? - Neck snapped.
- Accident or murder? - Not sure.
But I was wondering about all the vamp smell on him.
He was around a lot of vampires last night.
Dominic had sex right before he died.
Yup. Crime scene guys found blood on him.
Predegraded from chlorine and other chemicals in the water.
But the type was B-positive. Not Dominic's.
Could be his partner's. Can you get ahold of that blood sample?
Let's just say the forensic hematologist owes me serious for March Madness.
Make yourself at home.
I always do.
Uh-huh.
- What are we celebrating? - Simone's release.
The DA can only keep someone in for 24 hours without probable cause.
- They haven't cleared you. - That's your job.
And I really appreciate your and Beth's help.
Right.
Simone.
What exactly was your relationship with Dominic?
I did some work for his family...
and ended up following his career closely.
Yeah? You never told me that.
- Didrt want you to get the wrong idea. - He hit on you?
- Occasionally. - Really?
But then again, Dominic hit on every woman he ever met.
- I always turned him down. - Mm.
Yeah, well, the police found blood on Dominic's body.
- B-positive. - You see?
- There you go. Simone's cleared. - I'm B-negative.
We should give the police a sample.
There's a much easier way to settle this.
What?
- Eh... - Josef, don't.
Here.
For professional purposes only, of course.
Hi, Beth.
We were just having drinks.
I can see that.
Um.
- We should go. - But this is so awkward.
- I love awkward. - I know.
Police found blood on Dominic's body. I was making sure it wasrt Simone's.
They have laboratories for that.
- Beth... - No, stop.
I have a lead on Hank Bishop.
He's the guy Dominic was fighting with. Are you coming with me or what?
Come on.
The police have checked this place...
but I thought you might pick up on something.
- I assume you don't wanna talk. - Why would you assume that?
You haven't said a word to me since we left.
- Well, what do you expect me to say? - I wasrt feeding on Simone.
It wasrt a big deal.
Why do I feel like I walked in on you two making out?
We were not making out.
- I only wanna make out with you. - But you don't wanna drink my blood.
You want me to drink your blood?
- Where is this coming from? - No, I don't...
When you were dying in the desert and you fed on me...
you made it a big deal, and now you're saying it's not.
So please forgive me for being a little confused.
Oh, my God. I should've worn my HAZMAT suit.
Uh-uh, Hey, don't touch that.
It's sacred. Members only.
Ready?
- We're looking for Hank Bishop. - And you are?
Beth Turner from the DA's office.
Then you know what I told the police.
Hank hasn't been around. I wish I could help you.
Guy owes me 50 bucks.
- How long since you last saw him? - Since last semester.
He got a place of his own in Palms. Maybe you should check over there.
You're lying. Where is he?
Hank, the cops are here.
- Cops? - What's going on?
- Get out of there, man. - Go, go, go. Hank, go.
Hank, stop!
Hank.
Play nice.
You okay?
Yeah, well, I got hit in the face with the sacred ass-paddle.
Karma.
Hey, I got your text.
I scored that sample from whoever Dominic was with before he was killed.
- Great. - Turns out...
it's not contaminated after all.
The coroner doesn't know vampire blood when he sees it.
Humans getting busy with vamps. Always trouble.
That it is.
Trouble with Beth?
She thinks I fed on Josef's freshie.
So? Not like she's volunteering.
- I don't want her to. - Why not?
- Because I don't. - I'm just saying, vampires got needs.
Why do I talk to you about this?
You obviously blocked out memories of what human women are like.
Yeah, well, I need all available brain power to figure out vampire women.
It's a shame about Dominic.
Yeah. Emma and I have been managing him since he graduated.
He would've been great in the pros. Everyone loved Dominic.
Saw Dominic with a blond cheerleader at the party.
Lisa.
Yeah. Dominic was Lisa's boy du jour.
- It wasrt serious. - You know her?
Met her in New York back in 1923, I think.
- She was a flapper then. - She's a vampire?
And loving every minute of it, let me tell you.
I didn't get close enough to her at the party to tell.
Did Dominic know?
No, of course not. He didn't know about any of us.
Go, Rough Riders. Fight, fight, fight.
- Yeah. - Yeah, fight.
All right, guys, good practice.
See you later, Lisa.
- Lisa. - You must be Mick.
How have we not met before?
It's a cruel world.
I heard you're looking into Dominic's death.
- That maybe it was murder? - Yeah, or an accident.
Somebody get a little rough?
They found vamp blood on the body.
Not mine. Not that night.
- You were sleeping with him though? - We hooked up once or twice.
I'm into jocks this semester.
Oh.
So how long you been in college?
Forty years or so.
It's the perfect life for a vamp. Nobody notices when you sleep all day.
And constant rotation of frat boys too drunk to know...
when a hickey isn't a hickey.
No one notices the puncture marks on the neck?
That's not the artery I go for.
Huh.
Okay, Hank, let's go over this again.
I didn't kill Dominic.
- Why'd you run? - It's not safe here.
- You gotta protect me. - Sure.
Who exactly are we protecting you from?
From her. She killed Dominic.
Threw him around the room like a rag doll.
Snapped his neck like it was nothing.
So you werert feeding on Dominic?
No way. He took our team to the tournament three years in a row.
He needed his strength.
Emma was careful too. At least, I never noticed anything.
Wait a minute. Emma? Emma Monaghan?
- Dominic was sleeping with his manager? - Yeah, for the past few months.
- Did Jackson know? - Not from me.
No way I'd get in the middle of that.
And then I saw her face.
- Her eyes. - Well, who is it? Who'd you see?
It was Dominic's manager Emma.
Hey, listen, Hank says he saw Emma Monaghan...
kill Dominic during rough sex.
We're gonna go pick her up.
- Hey. - Mick.
Dominic may have been with Emma in the room.
And Hank saw her kill him.
- Talbot's on his way to her office now. - Stop him.
- What am I supposed to say? - I don't know. Stall him.
Well, he's just bringing her in. What's she gonna do?
Don't think Talbot wants to find out.
- Then you have to get there first. - I'm on my way.
I'm not going anywhere! Get your hands off of me!
- No, no! - Emma, stop.
No, I will not go to jail.
Emma, put the chair down, okay?
Are you here to help me or them?
- You okay? - Yeah.
Emma, stop. Stop.
Stop. This is not how this goes, you know that.
I will not go to jail.
Okay. We'll figure that out.
But think about what you're doing.
You're endangering all of us.
Think about Jackson.
I guess we know whose side you're on.
How did she do all this?
A psychotic break maybe.
Definitely psychotic.
I just... I thought Hank was exaggerating.
Well, that wasrt so bad.
A homicidal, desperate vampire's in custody.
And she's gonna need to feed soon.
It's very bad.
So this is what 150 years of marriage looks like.
Check out these wedding licenses.
They've got a new pair of names every 20 years.
One thing about being a vampire.
You get to reinvent yourself over and over again.
No matter who they were, they always stayed together.
It's so romantic.
They probably have a double-wide freezer as well.
Emma said Jackson asked her to turn him.
He knew it was the only way they could be together.
- Well, at least Jackson had a choice. - What about you?
Have you ever turned anyone into a vampire?
Sorry, all we got is tap.
We don't have many humans over to the house.
It's fine. Thank you.
Thank you.
So you didn't know about Emma and Dominic?
Never suspected a thing.
But like they say...
no matter how long you know someone...
you never really know them.
I thought we were happy.
How long can Emma go without feeding?
- She wouldn't do anything stupid. - You sure about that?
She just needs to know that she's not alone.
That we'll figure this out.
Let me talk to her.
- Can you get him in to see her? - Yeah.
Jackson.
I'm so sorry.
I love you.
Why can't we hear them?
They don't want to be overheard.
They're speaking below audible human levels.
You can hear them, right?
Yeah.
I never meant to hurt you.
What she saying?
She's telling him she's sorry.
He was sleeping with Lisa.
I got angry.
I forgot my strength.
That when Dominic told her he was seeing Lisa, she lost control.
He was dead before she even realized what she'd done.
Did you love him?
No, of course not.
It was nothing.
So you threw away everything we built together...
everything we were to each other.
You betrayed me for nothing?
It wasrt about us.
Or you.
It was about me.
Being with Dominic, it made me feel young.
Until he dumped me for a younger model.
If only he knew the truth.
I'm sorry. I know I screwed up, but it was an accident.
This is first-degree murder.
That is life in prison.
I will never survive that.
Josef already has a lawyer working on your bail.
It won't come to that.
No, it won't.
St. John sided with the humans.
He is the one that let them put me in here.
- What's wrong? - He will get me out.
You go out there and you tell him, if he doesn't...
not only will I tell the cops exactly what I am...
I'll tell them I'm not the only one.
- Emma, that's crazy. - You tell him that I will do it.
I will give up his name, all of his friends.
Every vampire in Los Angeles.
You have 24 hours.
What's wrong? What did she say?
And how could the judge deny Emma bail?
What happened to innocent till proven guilty?
- Emma is guilty. - But Simone made her sound innocent.
Halfway through her speech, even I was buying it.
Doesrt matter. I made some calls.
- We're gonna work this out. - Oh, yeah?
You know, Simone looked a little green when she left court today.
Like she might be afraid you would blame her for the judgment.
And by blame, I mean, kill.
No. Yeah, I told her it wasrt her fault.
- I'm not mad. - Uh-huh.
She likes you, you know.
Who doesn't like me? She tell you that?
She didn't need to. And I think the feeling's mutual.
Now, doesn't that violate one of your rules?
Yeah, several.
- Hi. - Simone.
I'm sorry. I know I should've called first.
- No, that's okay. Come in. - Thanks.
Um...
You know...
About the other night, I just...
- I just feel like I should apologize. - No, no, no, it's okay.
I was just upset. It...
Just looked kind of...
Intimate?
- Yeah. - Feeding them blood?
I mean, well, I think it's intimate, but to them, it's just...
Vampires don't care about humans like that.
We're just a blip in their lifespan.
To love us is to watch us die.
So when are you gonna break it off?
I don't know yet.
Oh, you really care about this person.
Even though she's, uh, human.
Ah.
We were out one night.
Simone might've been a few martinis in, but...
she implied she might be interested in not being human anymore.
Wait, you're actually considering this?
Havert tried to turn anyone since Sarah Whitley.
And we all know how that worked out.
So you're worried you'll kill her.
Or maybe I'm worried I won't.
Forever's a long time, Mick.
And I've got commitment issues.
Yeah, me too.
Do you think it would be different between you and Josef if he turned you?
If you were both vampires?
It didn't work for Emma and Jackson.
But at least they had 150 years to try.
Wouldrt you want that with Mick?
Mick would never turn me.
He's a kind of anti-vampire vampire.
Well, I don't know how he feels about it now...
but if you're with him long enough...
I guarantee the topic's going to come up.
We know.
Hey.
Hey, can we talk?
Right now?
It's not a good time.
What's going on?
Oh, let me guess. Vampire business.
You can't be involved.
No, I guess I can't.
What was that about?
Nothing.
You should never have allowed the police to take Emma into custody.
What was I supposed to do?
Let Emma kill a couple of cops? Maybe a DA?
Collateral damage.
No. Not to me.
Emma's pretty well-connected.
Gotta have the names of at least 300 vampires in the area.
Anything she says, the cops will think she's nuts.
Until she turns vamp and starts slicing through guards like butter.
I've sent out the coded e-mails, but there's not enough time.
Vamps won't be able to get out of town.
Which means, when the cops come, they'll fight.
Exposing even more of us.
And it's gonna be a freaking vampire apocalypse.
No.
Emma's not gonna say anything to anyone.
You're gonna do it? Break her out?
No.
We are.
Emma is being held here, at the district processing facility.
She's getting transferred from the processing facility to the county lockup.
The transport van is scheduled to pick up at 8 p.m.
For the approximately 18 minutes that she's in transit...
she will be under minimal protection.
That means one guard, one driver.
The transport vars route will take it up Main Street.
By which time, Logan will have hacked the traffic-control mainframe.
- I will? - Yeah.
Make sure the lights at Third and Main stay green as the van approaches.
Guillermo, I'm gonna need an ambulance, a stretcher, the works.
No problem.
And bring a couple of pints of blood.
Road snacks?
Jackson said Emma hasn 't fed in over 72 hours.
- She's gonna be in bad shape. - Got it.
Hello, ladies.
- What do you want us to do? - You clean up accidents every day.
Now I need you to create one.
As the van passes through the Third Street intersection...
you guys are gonna be waiting for it.
Main Street is a one-way street.
The van will have to stop where we want it to stop.
Josef and I will be waiting to extract them.
We pack her in the ambulance and take off.
Questions?
Can my code name be Lando Calrissian?
Let's go.
All right. I am in.
Okay, do it.
Green lights all the way.
Excuse me.
- What is it? - My restraints. They're too tight.
I feel sick. Please.
Fine.
I'll check them.
Right on time.
Wow, you're really cold.
I'm very thirsty.
Uh-oh. I hit a secondary firewall.
City must've upgraded their system. I need time.
- Ten seconds. - Oh, that's helpful.
Definitely gonna make me go faster. Thanks.
- Hey, Logan... - Calrissian out.
Get that light green. They gotta make it through the intersection.
Hey, how much longer? She doesn't look too good.
I think there's some accident up ahead.
Flip the lights, take us around.
We need to get her to a doctor, fast.
What's he doing?
- What's plan B? - There is no plan B.
Hey, Calrissian, stop that van.
Leeroy Jenkins!
Oh!
Oh, yes.
I am the man.
Did you see that? That was awesome.
- Quite the plan B. - I'll say.
Come on.
Emma Monaghan.
By threatening to expose your brothers and sisters...
you have endangered the safety and security of the entire community.
Wait.
You can't do this. It was an accident.
This isn't about the human.
Our secrecy is all we have.
It's all that keeps us alive.
The crime is treason. The penalty is death.
Continue.
Stop.
Back away now.
Give them a minute.
Don't do anything foolish, Mr. Monaghan.
I'm so sorry.
I wanted to start over.
With you.
Shh.
I love you.
Always have and always will.
We're ready.
- Go, Jackson... - No, we do this...
like we've done everything else.
- Together. - No, no, no.
I don't want you to die too.
- Mr. Monaghan? - Please.
Together.
We're ready.
We don't have to watch this.
Yeah...
we do.
Uh-huh.
No, sir, we don't know how she escaped.
We're investigating that as we speak.
Yeah, I'm sorry, sir.
Okay. Bye.
- Talbot. - File's for your eyes only.
We'll stay in touch.
Who is this?
I assume your vampire business meant getting Emma out of jail.
Where is she?
She's dead.
She was a liability to our community.
Vampires dispensing vampire justice.
- There have to be rules, Beth. - And Jackson?
He didn't wanna live without her.
So they were both just executed?
I know this isn't easy for you to understand.
Look...
You've been saying for months now that things can't work between us.
That we live in different worlds.
And I didn't wanna hear you, but maybe you're right.
You can't come back to my world.
And I'm not ready to join yours.
Wait, you think that's what this is about?
You think I'm gonna wanna turn you?
Wouldrt you?
Eventually?
And what happens when I start to get old?
Maybe then, I'd want it too.
I don't ever wanna have to make that decision.
Emma and Jackson made me realize that you were right.
I don't think I can do this anymore.
I spent the past 55 years trying to close the door on forever.
But I can 't anymore.
I can 't close the door on Beth.
You wanna know what Emma and Jackson made me realize?
That you were right.
You were right all along.
This isn't about being a vampire or a human.
This is about us.
And how we feel about one other.
Right here, right now.
That night that we first met, or met again, whatever...
what was I wearing?
Blue jeans, white-striped shirt, cream jacket.
What about my shoes?
You were barefoot.
How can you remember that?
Because I love you.
