Madeline Kapneck's office.

Yes, I... I need to make an appointment, please.

October? I'm sorry, but that's... that's not acceptable. I don't know how much time I have.

Well, I've just... I'm Hep-V positive,

and it's very important to me that I get my affairs in order, my estate, my will. Yes. I see. I see. No.

So you're saying that my only recourse is to come in and wait?

Yes. All right. I'm on my way. Thank you for your help.

Bill?

Jess, hi.

Hi.

You have a good time at the party?

Uh, yeah, I guess I had...

I had an okay time.

James come back with you?

Um, uh, no.

Why not?

He and I... we had kind of a fight.

Well, sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you two will work it out.

I don't know. It was kind of a big fight.

Oh. Well, I'm sorry, but I have to go out for a while.

I don't know what time I'll be back, so don't wait up for me, okay?

Bill?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

See you later.

Okay.

I gotta be gettin' home.

The reverend will be waiting up for me.

That's bullshit, Auntie.

With all that Benadryl you doped him with, he gonna be out for days.

I'm not letting you out of my sight.

Hey.

Hey.

Is it all right if I stay here tonight?

Sure thing.

Thank you.

Lettie Mae, this is James.

James, this is Lettie Mae.

Hi.

Now, James is a vampire.

Don't be gettin' no bright ideas of taking a cleaver to him in the middle of the day.

I know you think it's my disease talkin', but I swear Tara's got something she wants to say to me and I need vampire blood to be able to hear her.

I got enough of your crazy for tonight, Auntie.

I'll give you my blood.

What?

I know you got a good heart, boyfriend, but don't let this woman snow you. She's an addict.

Look, we both know that substances can elevate your consciousness.

What if Tara is trying to talk to her?

That vampire's making sense, Lafayette.

Fine.

But I'll do it with you this one last time, and then we're gonna have to put some closure on this bitch.

Because after tonight, I'm closing this shit down.

You get me?

There's a storm cellar.

Light tight.

Enjoy the ride.

Violet?

Hey, baby.

Hey.

You just...

you just left.

You didn't wait for me.

I wanted to surprise you.

Oh.

Well... I'm surprised.

Yeah.

You feeling okay?

I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate you.

I know I can be a little... aggressive sometimes.

Oh.

But that's because I come from a different time where that approach to life was necessary.

But now I live in this time.

And I want to make sure that you feel appreciated.

Mm.

And that you feel... like you're in control.

Yeah, well, uh... I do feel appreciated, and... and, you know, uh, in... control?

When I tell you that you're mine...

I realized I forgot to tell you... that I'm yours.

Mmm.

Here you go, ma'am. Watch your step.

Okay.

I'm here to see Ms. Kapneck.

Take a number, please.

Do you have any kind of estimated wait time?

Five to seven hours.

Well, that'll take us into daylight.

Anubis is running taxis.

But I drove here.

They'll drive your car home for an additional fee.

196.

This is bullshit.

I imagined my death many times, but I never thought I'd meet the sun in someplace with wall-to-wall carpet.

Howdy, Mr. Northman, Ms. De Beauford.

My name is Katsurou Ryouichi, but my friends call me Mr. Gus, Jr.

Now, I'm the North American president of Yokonomo Corporation, an honor bestowed on me by my father Mr. Gus, Sr., president of Yokonomo Corporation.

Now, our signature product, as I'm sure you're aware, is Tru Blood.

But now Yokonomo Corporation is bankrupt and I am North American president of, well, shit...

shit blood.

Now this is a deep fumeiyo.

A dishonor.

Now, I require your assistance to take a small step to rectify this situation.

Do you know this woman, Sarah Newlin?

Uh, yeah, I know of her.

You know where she is?

No.

Do you have any information that could lead us to Sarah Newlin?

No.

That is unfortunate because the sun is gonna rise in the east in three minutes

and you'll be frying like eggs on Texas asphalt.

So I will ask again. Where is Sarah Newlin?

I have no idea.

Eric.

Shut up, Pam.

Ms. De Beauford, do you have any information

that could lead us to the whereabouts of Sarah Newlin?

Pam.

Why don't you take these chains off and we'll talk?

Don't you think the machete is overkill?

Two minutes.

Don't do it.

He's gonna take the information and then kill us anyway.

Give us your word.

If your fuckin' honor's so important to you, give us your word on your honor

that you won't kill us if we tell you what you wanna know.

You have my word.

One more condition.

I will be the one to kill Sarah Newlin.

No. Non-negotiable.

Oh, who gives a shit who deals the death blow?

Dead is dead.

Sarah Newlin destroyed my company, my product.

She will reap my retribution.

Sarah Newlin killed my sister.

And when I find her, I'm gonna wrap my hands around her neck and snap her little blond bobblehead right off.

Eric, stand the fuck down.

And you, shut the fuck up about your stupid corporation.

Sarah Newlin's gonna be having the last fuckin' laugh,

shopping at Barney's and having a manicure

if you two can't stop measuring your dicks and make a fuckin' deal.

I kill her.

You can have the body.

Deal.

Sarah Newlin has a vampire sister who lives here in Dallas.

With their mommy and daddy dead, Sarah will have no place else to run.

The address?

When night falls, we'll go together.

Unchain them.

Amber, it's me! It's Sarah!

Oh, I know it's you.

You're still wearing that fucking Chanel No. 5.

Please, please don't kill me!

Oh, my God.

Oh, Jesus, you're sick.

Fuck you. You did this to me.

No. No.

Yeah?

Jason?

Hey, you okay?

Um, no, I'm not really that okay.

Hold on.

What's wrong?

If it's... if it's about last night...

No, uh, no, no. It's not about that.

Um...

I need you to go get Sookie.

I need you to bring her over here right now.

W-why?

I can't really say over the phone.

I think it's got to be in person.

You can't say what?

Please, just go and get her?

Can you just do that for me, please?

It's really important.

Okay.

Be there as soon as I can.

Shit, shit, shit.

Fuck!

Adilyn, honey, you all... whoa!

Daddy!

Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

You fuckin' little pissant cocksucker!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Daddy, no!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no!

I'm gonna wring your neck, you little chickenshit!

Daddy, no!

Come back here, you fucking dipshit!

Andy...

Goddamn fuckin' turd!

What the hell?

Get back here!

Shit!

Oh, no!

Andy, what the fuck?

Daddy, no!

You stay away from Adilyn if you know what's good for you!

I love her!

Andy Bellefleur, don't you dare talk to my son that way.

Are you okay, baby? Are you hurt?

What in the Sam Hill is goin' on?

You're gonna wake the baby.

Did you hit my son?

Oh, you better have not hit my son, Andy, so help me, God.

I didn't hit him, but I should have.

I love you, too!

You, get upstairs. I'll deal with you later, young lady.

Daddy.

Now, Adilyn!

I'm taking Wade home, and then I will deal with you later!

Come on, baby.

Sookie?

Fuck.

Sook!

Are you decent?

Hey, Sook.

Wake up.

Wake up. Hey, I've been calling you.

You're not answering your phone? Your mailbox is full.

Go away.

Come on, let's get up.

Come on, we gotta go.

Why are you talking so loud?

Listen, Jessica called me.

She said I gotta bring you over to the Compton place.

She needs to tell you something.

There's this thing called a phone.

I know, but she needs to tell you it in person.

Now, let's go. Come on.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

There are some woodpeckers moving into my frontal lobe.

It's like bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

Put those on. I'll make you some coffee.

Sookie!

Fuck.

This way!

I'm with you, Auntie.

What have they done to you, my baby?

How can I help you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.

All right, look, I gotta go, Mom.

Yeah, I love you, too.

Sam...

Hey.

I'm going home.

Oh. Okay.

Yeah, maybe that is a good idea.

Get out of town for a few days, see your folks.

No, it's not for a few days.

I am leaving for good.

I don't belong here, Sam.

Sure, you do, Nic.

Listen...

I can't begin to understand what you've been through, but I do know that you belong here.

We belong here.

No, no.

I do not belong here. We do not belong here, Sam.

It wasn't until last night that I realized this town is fucking crazy, and you... you're the mayor of crazy.

Now, I will not raise our daughter in this.

I won't.

So I'm leaving, and I am asking you to please come with me.

This is my home, Nicole.

I mean, I... I looked around a lot of places.

Bon Temps is the only place I ever felt safe.

I know, baby.

And that's the craziest thing of all.

My mother is coming to get me tomorrow.

You think about it.

Jess?

- Yeah, uh, come in. Just close the door behind you, please.

Door's closed.

Hi.

Thank you for coming.

Okay.

What's going on?

It's, um... it's Bill.

What about Bill?

I overheard him tell someone that he was Hep-V positive.

What?

- No, that can't be.

We saw him last night. He was fine.

I know, but that's what he said.

What did you hear, exactly?

He was on the phone.

He was talking to a lawyer's office or something and he was saying that he needed to come in

and make arrangements for his estate and his will

because he was Hep-V positive and he didn't know how much time he had.

Maybe he just wanted to get his will and stuff done because of all the crazy shit going on in the world.

Yeah, but he said that he was sick.

He said that he was Hep-V positive.

Okay, okay. Let's just... let's say for a minute that he is sick.

Bill Compton is one tough motherfucker.

He's gonna beat this thing.

I mean, hell, he was a bona fide vampire god about six months ago.

Okay.

Hey, we ain't giving up hope yet.

We don't even know if he's got it for sure.

Jason.

Yeah?

I need you to take me to the clinic.

What?

I've been exposed.

It ain't you, Sook.

You were negative just last week.

Even still...

I need to get tested again.

Can you just take me now, please?

Um, will you be okay for a while?

Yeah.

Come on, Sook.

Will you call me with the results?

Yeah.

Andy's calling again.

Oh, don't keep him in the dog house.

You two got yourselves a sticky situation.

You better deal with it quick before your grandkids are your step-grandkids, too.

Bite your tongue.

It's the birds and the bees, Holly.

It's the facts of fuckin' life.

Jesus.

Well, shit happens, Holly.

You clean it up.

I'm hungry.

We'll get you some blood when we get home.

These bands of H-vamps attacked another town.

The savages.

I'm sick, you don't see me doing this.

You say that now. You're in the early stages still.

You don't know what you're gonna do when it gets bad.

261.

Dude, what the fuck?

I've never seen Hep-V do that before.

What stage are you in?

I only began to notice the symptoms last night.

Please extend your forefinger.

Here you go.

We will call you later on today with the results.

Nothing left to do but wait.

All right.

Well, let me take you home.

I don't wanna go home.

Well, where do you wanna go, then?

Don't know.

Just not home.

Tara!

This was our old house where we used to stay when Tara was a baby.

What is she doing?

I have no idea.

Baby, what's all this mean?

Lettie Mae!

Lettie Mae Thornton! You've gone too far this time.

Wake up! Wake up!

Hey, now, Rev!

Hold up!

Come on, baby.

Why'd you do that?

Why'd you take me away from her?

Tara was taking me home!

She was taking you straight to hell, woman.

I don't think so.

Oh, you stay out of this.

Listen, I thought Lettie Mae was full of shit, too.

That's why I went on that V trip with her, to prove her wrong.

But Tara... Tara, she... she brought us to their old house, the one at the South Ward.

We gotta go there.

That's where she wants us to go.

Shit, you're right. She wanted us to see something there.

You're out of your mind, the both of you.

You should see yourselves right now.

No, we ain't.

You gotta come with us.

Why? What does she want you to see?

I don't know yet, but that don't make it any less real.

I'm sorry, honey, but it does.

How many times you seen God?

God doesn't show Himself. You know that.

Tara did.

The way I see it, there's more evidence of this Tara shit being real than God is.

Should I stop goin' to church, good preacher?

Son, you can do whatever the fuck you wanna do.

Now, move.

I love you, Lettie Mae.

I love you more than life itself.

But I cannot sit here and watch you do this to yourself.

So you're gonna have to choose...

it's the V or me.

I told you, it's not about the V.

It is to me.

Baby... my baby girl is trying to tell me something.

I ain't going to ignore it.

This is something I have to do.

Where's Holly?

Uh, she's in the back. Now, Andy... uh-uh.

I'm gonna need you to face this tiny hiccup with a cool head.

Holly's son was sticking it to my Adilyn underneath my roof.

Andy Bellefleur, you best change your tone if you know what's good for you.

Okay, listen up, you two.

Y'all are almost hitched.

Tying the big ol' knot.

And that's gonna mean for richer or poorer, in good times and bad times.

I don't think screwing your sibling's what they meant by "bad times."

Oh, okay, and why is it Wade's fault, huh?

I don't know what you're implying.

What are you implying there, lady?

I ain't implying anything, mister.

Everyone knows about fairies.

Are you calling my Adilyn a slut?

If the fairy shoe fits.

You take that back, Holly Cleary!

Okay, listen up, everybody. Just shut up.

You hear me? Shut your pie holes.

There is no use in pointing fingers and placing blame.

These two kids are teenagers.

They got hormones poppin' out everywhere hijackin' their brains.

It is a miracle they didn't sleep together sooner.

That's not helping.

Jesus.

I'm just saying these are good kids and they think they're in love, and you two bickering amongst each other ain't gonna solve your problem.

You gotta talk to 'em.

Y'all are fixin' to be a family now.

Well...

I am sorry I called Adilyn a slut.

I don't even believe in that word "slut," okay?

It shames female sexuality, and I'm against that 100%.

Okay, Holly? Holly?

I'm sorry I yelled at Wade.

And chased him out of the house?

Hell, yes, and chased him out of the house.

I don't know what you expect me to do.

What self-respecting father in his right...

Andy, hush.

Hush.

Okay?

Now, y'all get on outta here and talk some sense into them kids.

Thank you.

Love each other. Mm-hmm.

You know what's weird?

I can still sense Bill.

His smell, maybe.

Or his presence when he's nearby.

Or if he's standing behind me, I'll know he's there before I actually lay eyes on him.

Mm.

Even when I hate him, he's in my blood.

I loved Alcide.

I suppose I loved Eric, too, in my own way.

But there's something about the first, you know?

Yeah, I ain't never felt anything like that.

I mean, maybe with Jessica a little bit.

But that was...

it was all muddled up with Hoyt and everything.

You don't feel like that with Violet?

I don't feel a single one of those things with her.

And I'm... well, I'm scared all the time.

Love shouldn't make you scared.

Not scared like that.

We don't know how much time we got left.

It doesn't seem worth it to spend it with someone you don't love.

I'm gonna tell Violet how I feel.

I gotta break it off.

Hello?

Uh-huh.

Okay.

No, no, thank you for telling me.

We... we told Jess we'd call her as soon as...

Yeah, I'm gonna need a minute.

Or two.

Number 282. Number 282... going once, going twice...

That's me.

Hello, mister...

Uh, Compton.

Compton, hi.

You wrote that book about the Hep-V crisis.

Yes.

Big fan.

Madeline Kapneck. What can I do for you today?

I'd like to amend my will and pass my estate over my progeny.

Unfortunately, the state doesn't recognize progeny as a legal distinction.

They're not considered children and/or relatives under the law.

That shouldn't be a problem.

We can just transfer the estate to her name.

And this will was drafted in...?

1894.

And you were made vampire in...?

1865.

So you were impersonating a human when this document was first created?

No, I wasn't impersonating a human.

You were quote-unquote "in the coffin"?

Well, yes, but...

I'm just trying to establish a timeline, Mr. Compton.

No need to get defensive.

Sorry.

As you may or may not know, the Vampire Rights Amendment did not pass in Congress.

As the law stands now, thanks to the late great Governor Burrell, a citizen cannot posthumously execute a last will and testament.

Since when?

Since Burrell slipped it into an appropriations bill before his untimely death.

I-I don't understand.

You're technically dead.

I realize that.

And when this document was drafted, the assumption was you were quote-unquote "alive."

So you're saying that I can't pass my property over to my progeny.

It's unclear.

Some vampires are suing the state.

The case is winding its way through the courts.

Law is a moving target, and with this worldwide pandemic thing, the government's looking into ways to take advantage.

Lots of dead vampires. They're seizing assets.

So what are my options?

Well, there are a few workarounds, mainly adoption.

So I could adopt Jessica.

I'll need you to fill out the requisite paperwork, and I'll go ahead and file a petition for adoption.

After that, we get a court date and then I make a motion before family court

and then a social worker conducts a home study

to make sure you're... fit to be a parent.

How long will that process take?

About five months to a year.

But I don't have that kind of time.

I'm dying.

Have you looked outside?

Everybody's dying.

Yes, but... I mean, the virus is accelerating faster than usual, for some reason.

I'm sorry, it is what it is.

Is there some way to expedite the process?

Well, there is one way, but it's expensive.

Well, how much?

It's $10 million.

$10 million? For what?

Moving you to the front of the line.

Are you trying to extort me?

It's a seller's market, Mr. Compton.

Why not just dig into some of those book proceeds?

You will move me to the front of the line, and you will do so free of charge.

You think you're the first vampire to come in here and try to glamor me, Mr. Compton?

They sell anti-glamoring contacts at the Walgreens now.

$10 million. That's the price.

Thank you. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

It's the same all over. From the looks of those veins moving down your arm, you don't got much time.

You are a vulture like those men that I watched pickin' the pockets of dead soldiers and pryin' fillings from their mouths.

Don't lecture me on greed, Mr. Compton.

I sit here night after night in a room with no windows listening to you vampires whine about what a bum hand you've been dealt.

But you've had, what, 100, 200, or 500 more years to amass your fortune?

To spend eternity feasting off of the whole human race? Sorry, but cry me a river. Excuse me for using what little time I have on the planet to make some cash--

Thank you for your time.

Hey, Adilyn?

Wade, darling? We need to talk to y'all.

Listen, uh, I know I came down a little bit hard on you earlier, but we gotta talk, and I promise to keep my emotions in check for the good of a more productive discussion.

Adilyn Braelyn Charlaine Danika Bellefleur, get your little fairy butt down here!

They ain't here.

Where'd they go?

They said they were in love and they wanted to be alone.

It's pretty gross, if you ask me.

Did they say where they were going?

Look, I'm sorry. They swore me to secrecy.

They swore you to secrecy, huh?

Honey, I'm starting to feel like my emotions are not so in check.

Now, do you want me to do it or do you want to do it? 'Cause it needs to get done.

Rocky, honey, you know that I love you.

I do. But I'll gut you if I have to.

Now, where the fuck did they go?

Fort Bellefleur.

They went to Fort Bellefleur.

Don't.

Hey, there.

You're alive.

I was dead to you long before this.

Here's the thing, sis.

Um, some people are trying to kill me.

The Yakuza and some really just awful vampires, so I was really hoping I could hide here for just a few days.

No.

Please.

Amber, just till the heat's off.

You need to get the fuck outta my house.

I know you're sore at me,

but you're all I got left.

Mom and Dad are dead.

They were killed last night.

Good.

How can you say that?

Look at me.

You all turned your back on me, and now you're in trouble and you have the fuckin' nerve to come crawling back here.

You make me sick.

You made me sick.

Not just me.

No, that wasn't enough for you.

You made everybody sick, the whole fuckin' world.

That wasn't me.

Are u denying that you and those disgusting scientists working for you created Hep-V?

I'm just saying that was a different me.

That was Sarah Newlin.

But I've changed.

I'm literally a different person now.

Your capacity for self-denial never ceases to amaze me.

My name is Noomi now, Amber, and I ally am a new me.

Oh, my God.

Just hear me out.

I was on the run.

The entire country looking for me,and I had nowhere to go and no one to turn to, so I needed to find a place where nobody knew who I was, which is hard when you're a celebrity.

But then one day, I read about this ashram nestled in the hills above Los Angeles.

You at an ashram?

It was perfect.

Amber, I needed to find a place where Sarah Newlin didn't exist.

And it was there that I realized

Sarah Newlin doesn't exist.

A beautiful, enlightened man named Guru Sanbir Dutta took me in and taught me that I am the Bodhisattva of the Earth.

What the fuck are you talking about?

It means that I was put on this planet to help people.

My whole life, I thought Christ was the answer, but now I know I was just parroting back a truly limiting notion of spirituality.

What I was lookin' for I found within.

I am a Buddha.

You are a Buddha.

We are, all of us, Buddhas.

Oh, fuck off.

You can hear it in my voice if you would listen.

Jesus Christ, sis.

You can't just dye your hair and blow a guru and absolve yourself of all the horrific shit that you have done in your life.

See, that's where you're wrong, because he showed me that all of this happened for a reason.

Don't you see?

All of this was meant to be.

If I hadn't created Hep-V, then you wouldn't be sick, and I wouldn't be here right now with the ability to heal you.

What are you talkin' about?

There was an antidote, Amber, and I drank it.

When the vampires revolted from the facility...

...the scientists had created an antidote to Hep-V and I drank it down.

Every drop.

Everything has all come full circle.

The past doesn't matter anymore.

The future doesn't matter.

This is our now.

I am the antidote, sweetie.

Let me heal you.

Jessica?

You can come in.

It was positive?

I did this to him.

Jessica, I am so sorry.

I didn't know. I didn't mean to.

Of course you didn't. It's okay.

Violet... baby...

I know that you said I was yours and you were mine, but I think we both know it ain't workin'.

It ain't workin'.

Violet?

Violet?

Vi...

"Dear Jason, relationship not working for me.

Over it. Violet."

Oh, fuck.

Good-bye.

Good riddance.

Adilyn!

Hello?

Hey, don't freak out.

It's me... Violet. Jason's girlfriend.

Um, I just wanted to talk to you, if that's okay.

Um... sure.

All right, comin' up.

Hiya.

Hi.

What you guys doin'?

Nothin'.

Uh-huh.

It doesn't look like nothin'.

Well, uh, we just wanted to be alone is all.

You know, without grownups all up in our business.

Uh-huh, I get that.

But Adilyn is fae, and I could smell her a mile away.

And if I could, you bet those H-vamps will find you.

We can't go home.

I have a place you can go.

Really?

Yeah.

Sure.

Oh, you guys, if you don't want to be tracked, you should ditch those phones.

Yeah, yeah.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Of course.

Who am I to stand in the way of true love?

What the fuck?

How come you're healed?
