When I see that girl
down on the road
She rocks my world
And I feel like
I'm on overload
Hey
()
Ham.
-Ham!
-What?
Come out here, boy.
I wanna talk with you.
What?
Ham, you do good work.
(LAUGHS)
Well, it's mighty nice of you
to interrupt me
to acknowledge
my mechanical abilities.
If you want that shitbox
box to get fixed,
you're gonna have to let me
get back to it.
Ham, I don't know
how to tell you this,
so I'm just gonna tell you.
I gotta let you go.
Kidding, right?
Things have been slow.
I was hoping
they'd pick up by now.
You're fuckin' serious?
No, no, no, no, no.
You-- you-- you can't do this
to me, man.
No, I-- I--
I need this job.
I-- I got bills to pay.
Kept you as long as I could.
Let me get it straight.
You gonna fire your money maker?
You're gonna fire
your only fuckin' employee?
Well there's a fucking
genius business plan.
Let me ask you this.
If I'm gone, who's gonna
fix the fuckin' cars?
Are you gonna fix them?
You can't even get under them.
-Oh, fuck you.
-Hey.
-And fuck this place.
-Come on now.
-Come on now. Ham.
-My God. No, fuck you.
It might just be a slow spell.
No.
What you owe me, in cash, now.
Come on.
(DUDLEY SIGHS)
Look, if things pick up,
I'll call you, all right?
If it does, do me a favour.
Call someone else.
(TRUCK RUMBLING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING
AND LAUGHTER)
-Hey.
-Oh, hey, dude.
What are you doing here?
Cheap-ass Dudley
let you go early?
Something like that.
Hey, what do you think?
I figure, get a few
more drinks in 'em,
and I, my friend, I'm golden.
Yeah, sure.
I'm sure they'll keep you
busy for a while.
Ladies, this is my pal, Ham.
Cathy and Jesse.
Or, Jesse and Cathy.
It doesn't really matter.
Well, what kind
of name is Ham?
Biblical, not food.
-We have ham on Easter.
-I have ham all the time.
Yeah, it might be nice to,
uh, have a ham sandwich.
We could be the bread.
(LAUGHS)
You kids are a little
childish to be in my bar.
I think I should
be checking IDs.
-Okay.
-One more, Nick.
And put the kindergarten
kids back on the bus.
Mommy must be worried.
What are you doing here?
I don't get off 'til midnight.
Dudley let me go.
Go? Go where?
Go for good. Canned.
Out the door. Adios.
Damn it, Ham.
Fuck.
What are we gonna do now?
Can't live on my tips.
Hell, no one could.
Well, Dudley said the station
ain't doin' so good,
so he can't afford
to keep me around.
So who's gonna
do the repair work?
That's what I thought,
but he can't be
thinking straight.
I mean like it must
be all that chocolate
that he's just chugging down
that's clogged
his fuckin' brain.
But don't you worry.
We'll be okay.
Ladies, look at you.
Nice.
So I just got
caught for speeding,
and the deputy was like, "Did
you not see the sign, son?"
I said, "I saw the sign.
I just didn't see you."
(JESSE LAUGHS)
-Oh, you like that?
-(LAUGHS)
JESSE:
Well what did the deputy say?
Ah, he said he liked my face,
but he gave me a ticket anyway.
What can you do? You're cute.
-Hey, pal.
-I'm talking.
I'm entertaining these ladies,
if you don't mind.
I don't mind at all,
as long as you're buying.
I'm not buying so you can
cosy up and smooth talk 'em.
Okay, why don't you go ahead
and just back up outta
my personal space.
'Cause I think that decision
lies with these ladies.
Listen, I'm paying,
so I'm saying.
Okay.
Look, I didn't want
to do this. I'm sorry.
-Ham!
-Oh, shit.
Oh, I'm gonna fuckin' kill you.
-Break it up.
-I didn't mean to hit him.
-Come here.
-You two!
-Anytime.
-Goddammit.
We're gonna finish this now.
-It's fine. Just sit down.
-Oh my God.
-Get him outta here, Jody.
-Why? He didn't start it?
-What you looking at?
-You two, out.
-What? Why?
-I don't need bar maids...
...threatening customers and
the boyfriend fighting them.
The damage is coming
outta your pay.
Oh yeah?
Fuck yourself, trailer trash.
-(GLASS SHATTERS)
-(EDDIE GROANS)
EDDIE:
Get out.
Shit. You all right?
What the fuck is wrong
with that guy?
I was trying to stop the fight.
He just fuckin' punched me.
No shit, Ham.
But that was meant for me.
That guy was a prick.
I'm still bleeding?
What do you think?
I don't know.
That's why I'm asking.
Oh shit. I'm sorry
you got canned, Jody.
Now Ham and I are in
the same fricking boat.
What do you mean?
Dudley canned me.
Lack of work.
Kidding me.
What are you guys going to do?
I don't know. What
are we gonna do?
Don't know.
Maybe we should look
somewhere over the rainbow.
Do you really think
there's work in Oz?
Might be something
over by Dixon.
No, no, no. Been
there done that.
Ain't nothin' but
trouble out there.
Speaking of trouble,
we better scram
before the deputies get here
because Eddie's definitely
gonna press charges.
In case you forgot,
the landlord's comin'
by tonight for his rent,
which we don't have.
(SIGHS)
Forgot about that.
Well, there's no time like
to present to find out
what's over a rainbow.
I mean, there's gotta be
places in need of help
somewhere over in
civilization, right?
Civilization,
it's not what it's cracked
up to be, my friend.
Keep in touch.
Keep an eye out for
those, uh, flying monkeys.
Flying monkeys, huh?
Fuckin' great.
(DOOR SLAMS)
(DOOR SLAMS)
(TRUCK RUMBLING)
You sure about this?
Well, we don't have a choice.
That jerk is gonna kick us
out unless we pay our rent,
which we don't fuckin' have.
We just started
settling in here
and now we're on the road again?
I'm so tired of moving.
We gotta go baby.
Come on.
Where's your sense of adventure?
-(KNOCK RAPS ON THE DOOR)
-LANDLORD: Open the door.
I know you're in there.
Open the door.
Now or never, baby.
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Yeah, now's good.
(ZIPS BAG)
(TRUCK RUMBLING)
-Here he comes.
-Help you?
Why don't you go ahead
and fill her up, pretty boy.
-All right.
-What?
He's a looker.
(CATHY LAUGHS)
I like him.
You would.
What she doing in there?
(LIGHTS CRACKLE)
What the hell?
Where'd he go?
Oh, come on.
We've not got all night.
Or do we?
Maybe he had to whiz like I do.
Ah.
Actually, you know what?
I need to find
the little girl's room.
-Great.
-I'll go with you.
Apparently everybody needs
to relieve themselves
right this minute.
-(BOTH GIGGLING)
-You watch yourself.
(LAUGHS) Come on, girl.
I think it's probably around
the side of the building.
-(CATHY LAUGHS)
-Not even listening.
But get me some cigarettes,
too!
-(HISSES)
-(GASPS)
What the fuck?
Can I help you, young lady?
(SCREAMS)
HAM:
Jody?
-Earth to Jody.
-What?
I was just saying
how pretty you are.
You're so full of shit,
and this is the stupidest
thing we ever did.
No, staying
would've been stupid.
Besides, you know,
this is what makes us a team,
-like Bonnie and Clyde.
-Oh great.
Look what happened then.
For better or for worse.
You know what, babe?
I think we should get hitched.
Are you outta
your fucking mind?
No, no, no. I'm serious.
You know,
we're making a new start,
and who knows what
great things await us.
And every bit of the
shit we've been through
has been you're doing,
maybe too much this time.
(HAM SIGHS)
Baby, I was the one who broke
a bottle over Eddie's head,
and was I supposed
to tell Dudley
not to can me because
Jody has needs?
Yeah, you should have
told Eddie just that.
Imagine someone needing
food, a bed, a roof.
Jesus Christ, Ham.
You wanna get married?
-My God.
-All right, calm down.
I am calm!
Yeah, you look,
you look very calm.
Shut up.
All right. All right.
Just, you know,
everything's gonna be fine.
It's all good. It's all good.
(INHALES)
There's plenty of places
needing help out there.
-Where?
-Well, you know.
No, I don't know.
We've been on this
road for a while now
and have seen nothing but trees.
You don't even have
a clue where we are now,
do you, Daniel Boone?
Well, I do.
Up that famous creek without
the proverbial paddle.
Well, we're bound to...
-(TIRES SCREECHING)
-Ham!
(METAL CRASHING)
(SIRENS WAILING)
(RADIO CHATTERS)
(KEYS JINGLING)
(DOOR OPENS)
(CAR DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
(CRICKETS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
Wow.
Wow?
That a professional
opinion, Doc?
Wow is a reaction.
The opinion is
rigor's setting in,
so I'd say about an hour or so.
Notice there ain't
any blood around here.
Not a single drop.
Well that is hard to miss.
This is a new one.
Nothing I can imagine
would, or could,
remove that much blood...
...or have a need too.
Noticed any of the food
around here didn't get touched.
This made me wonder
what kind of animal
did such a thing.
DOCTOR:
I'm not so sure
it was an animal.
GAIL:
I'll make a feast tonight, okay?
Lasagna, fresh bread.
Mm-hmm.
Wait a minute,
we've got all that,
why'd we have hot
dogs last night?
I'm busting your balls, honey.
Hot dogs tonight, too?
-Come on.
-And beans?
It's getting dark.
Uh-huh.
Hey,
I said it's getting dark.
If we keep stopping,
we should make it to
camp sometime next month.
-(SIGHS) Lead the way.
-(TRUCK SQUEAKS)
(TAILGATE SLAMS)
-Come on.
(GASPING)
Oh Mel, you're full of energy.
MEL:
Mm.
GAIL:
You're like a mountain man.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(MEL GRUNTING)
GAIL:
Hey, where you goin'?
Take a piss.
(SIGHS)
(FIRE CRACKLING)
(MEL URINATING)
Oh, damn it.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I'm fine.
Almost burned my balls off.
(LAUGHS)
Thank God you didn't.
I'm not enjoying
the camping so far.
What would be the
point in staying?
(GROWLS)
Mel, what's taking so long?
(GAIL SHRIEKING)
Mel?
(WHIMPERING)
Mel? Mel?
(GASPING)
(WHIMPERING)
Oh my God, Mel.
Mel!
(PANTING)
(GAIL SCREAMS)
-(FIRE CRACKLING)
-(GAIL SCREAMING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
Jody, baby,
hey.
Baby, you okay?
-Oh my God.
-Hey, you're bleeding.
Are you okay?
Are you?
No, I'm-- I'm--
I'm okay.
Wait a minute. What we hit?
I-- I think something hit us.
Oh, fuck.
You okay to walk?
-I think so.
-Let's check it out.
There should be something,
right?
Like fur, blood,
anything? I don't know.
Oh shit, we got blood.
(GASPS)
Oh Jesus.
That ain't fur.
That looks like clothing.
Oh fuck, baby.
-Did we hit someone?
-I don't know.
Where the fuck are we anyways?
Wait, what's this?
Madison Farm Mobile Home Park.
You see anything?
Yeah, there.
I can just make out some
trailers or something.
Oh God.
Maybe this belongs to
someone that lives in there.
Only one way to find out, baby.
(SIGHS)
Let's go.
(TRUCK RUMBLING)
()
(TRUCK RUMBLING)
I don't know, baby.
This place looks abandoned.
Never mind someone
living here wearing that.
I don't think even
God knows of this place.
()
(TRUCK DOOR SLAMS SHUT)
(KNOCKING ON THE DOOR)
Hello?
(KNOCKING ON THE DOOR)
()
Place looks abandoned.
Yep. Think it is.
(FOOTSTEPS CRUNCHING)
(HAM SIGHS)
Does anyone even live here?
I don't think so.
(JODY GASPS)
What this be?
We're unarmed.
We were in a minor accident,
and we--
May have hit someone last night.
We found this in the grill.
We thought maybe someone
from here was hurt.
There's no one here to get hit.
Best you skedaddle now.
Sorry.
Just wanna make
sure no one was hurt.
Before we skedaddle,
would you know where we
could find some work?
You're looking
for work, are you?
Where you from?
Penter.
So you're not
from these parts?
Wouldn't know.
I don't know
where these parts are.
Willonia County line.
Penter's a fair ride.
Well we, we drove
a fair distance.
Aimlessly.
Best you get back on the road,
mosey on about your travels.
Listen, long story
short, like I said,
we only stopped by to
make sure no one was hurt.
Sorry for bothering you.
Well, no one's hurt
and there's no work,
so we'll be on our way.
Hold on now.
I might have some work.
If you got a mind to it.
You got anyone gonna
come looking for you?
Uh, well we're--
we're mostly on our own.
Name's Crawford.
Ham.
This is Jody.
You got yourself a Bible name.
Had God-fearing parents.
Ham was the cursed son of Noah.
Well, most people
believed the curse was--
Meant for his brother, Canaan.
Ain't much to do here at night
except read the Good Book.
Helps keep me abreast
of such things.
-Well, Mr. Crawford.
-Just Crawford, boy.
No formalities needed.
All right, Crawford.
What kind of work
have you got for us?
Maintenance.
Well this place
could definitely use
some hammer and nails.
Well, why don't you
two just think about it.
We will.
()
()
So what do you think?
We need work, I guess.
This bad?
I mean look at this
place and the old man.
Seriously?
He doesn't freak you out?
He does.
But we need food, gas,
place to sleep,
and I definitely need a tub.
Let's go, little lady.
(WATER DRIPPING)
CRAWFORD:
Sorry to put a scare
into you folks.
We don't take a shine
to trespassers.
I can give you three
meals and a roof.
Sound fair?
Uh, that's a,
it's a very kind offer,
but we'd appreciate some cash.
I mean, we can find
elsewhere to stay.
You too gotta stay here.
Day, and especially night.
Cash ain't an issue,
but you won't have a need.
Well, of course
we'll have a need.
I mean, we need cash to buy
gas and for everyday expenses.
All your needs are right here,
what can be got.
Better you just settle in,
do your chores...
...hunker down at night.
Why the shotgun?
Troublesome animals
wherever the hell we are?
Something like that, missy.
This here's the attic.
It stays locked.
Right.
This one here's your room.
Ain't been used in a while.
Hmm.
Could use a cleaning,
but it's comfy.
Better than the Jeep.
I'm gonna go freshen up.
()
You own this place?
Madison does.
I'm his brother-in-law.
We cleared
the farm yard out back.
Put in water, electricity,
rented lots to mobile homes.
Madison's a fan of
Humphrey Bogart,
so we named the whole shit
and caboodle Bogieville.
(DISHES RATTLING)
(GASPS)
Madison!
I almost dropped the dish.
Your the only dish I want,
and just 'cause there's
a little girl outside
don't mean you ain't gonna
get what's comin' to you.
(GIGGLES)
My beautiful wife.
Did you fix
the water connection
-at the Robertson's unit?
-(SIGHS)
Nope.
Billy Cupps again.
Again?
Why do residents complain to you
if he's going to fix everything?
Maybe you should hire Billy
as your maintenance man.
Maybe I should not.
I do wish he'd leave the
maintenance of my property
to me and Crawford.
People to get the wrong idea
about who runs this place.
He thinks he's the
mayor of Bogieville.
Well then maybe it's time
we impeached the mayor.
(LAUGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
(HAM LAUGHS)
No shit.
Bogieville?
Catchy.
You and missy hitched?
Hitched? No.
No, well, not yet.
Someday.
We all got our somedays.
You and the little
lady got freedom
of this place from
sunrise to sunset.
Nothing in Bogieville
needs fixing, so stay out.
You two have got to adhere
to the rules...
...most importantly...
...never leave this house
at night.
You got it?
Can't go out for a drink?
-Dance a little?
-Not in these parts.
And never let anyone
into the house at night.
Do you understand?
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Sure.
(CLEARS THROAT)
So, uh, Madison, huh?
Madison ever come by?
Oh, he comes and goes.
You'll meet, I'm sure.
(CLOTHING RUSTLES)
The attic and basement
door are locked...
...always.
No two ways about it.
You got it?
Yeah.
Got it.
()
Now might be a good time...
...to give you a quick tour of
the place before it gets dark.
Yeah.
Yeah, uh, just gimme a few
minutes and I'll be right out.
Don't take too long.
()
(SIGHS)
Welcome to civilization.
JODY:
Come on in.
Have a seat.
Did you hear the old man
yapping about all the rules?
I mean, he fucking grabbed me,
and he was like
"Close the windows.
Stay in. Lock this.
Don't go there."
Everywhere has rules, Ham.
But this place has too many.
-Something ain't right.
-Yeah. Us.
But we need work.
And all the shit about not
letting anyone in at night.
I mean, who?
(HAM SCOFFING)
I mean, I don't think
any holy rollers
are gonna come around here.
I doubt they would ever
find the place, anyways.
I'm glad no one
else is around.
It's peaceful, almost.
Listen, I think--
Can we think later?
I wanna soak, alone, okay?
All right. All right.
Hey, rub-a-dub.
But we seriously need to
think about this place.
Something ain't right.
I gotta go now.
Rifle man wants
to show me around
and probably tell me
what else I can't do.
()
HAM:
You burning something?
CRAWFORD:
You don't wanna know.
HAM:
All right.
So people live here?
Something like that.
Right now, they're resting.
We need to take
a quick walk around,
make sure everything's normal.
They're resting...
...and that's normal?
(HAM LAUGHS)
-You're kidding me, right?
-This ain't no joke.
So, uh, is this some sort
of a ghost mobile home park
or something?
'Cause I mean, no offence,
it just doesn't seem that
you accomplished a lot
of the maintenance end
of things, you know?
Bogieville ain't our problem.
You maintain the farmhouse,
barn...
...nothing more.
Keep quiet.
Follow me.
(SIGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
Slowpoke didn't make it.
That there ash pile's
a kid named Terry.
He's about 16.
Son of George and mother,
what's-her-name.
You gotta tell me right now
what the hell is going on!
I'll do one better.
I'll show you.
(DOOR SLAMS OPEN)
That there's George and the
mother, um, what's-her-name.
()
What the fuck?
What the-- (GASPS)
What the fuck is that?
(DOOR SLAMS)
(PANTS)
What the fuck was that?
Best be headed back.
Be dark soon.
HAM:
No, no, I wanna know.
No, I-- I demand to know
what the hell is going on,
because there's a burned up kid
that no one seems to
give a fuck about,
and-- and God knows what
was in that trailer.
But you know what?
No, this is just too weird.
-We're leaving.
-Slow your ass down, boy.
You can't leave.
You're gonna do what?
You're gonna shoot me?
They have your scent.
They have my scent?
Who has my scent?
If you're gonna be here,
you gotta know what
you're dealing with.
Yes, yes.
That's what I've been
trying to get you to do,
tell me what the
hell is going on,
besides an old man who thinks
all this shit is normal.
Madison,
he stays in the basement.
Madison?
Madison, the-- the-- the owner
of this fantasy land,
he-- he lives in the basement?
I said he's there.
I said nothing about living.
Why he in the basement?
Daylight.
Oh, for fuck's sake,
come on, man!
Just stop with this
whole daytime, nighttime,
he has my scent bullshit.
Just stop with the riddles
and tell me the truth.
Vampires.
Bogieville is filled with them.
That's who has your scent,
and that is why you
and missy can't leave.
You happy now?
(SIGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Vampires.
Good one.
Good one!
You almost had me there.
Geez.
For an old man, you got
a hell of a sense of humor.
They're real!
And they're here.
Now, I know you think
I'm just an old fool,
lost his mind, and believe me,
I wish that was the case.
Come nightfall,
reality is gonna set in.
You're serious?
Sorry you and the little
lady got mixed up in this,
but you came here.
No one dragged your ass in.
Glad to answer any
questions you might have.
I might have.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, yeah,
I might have a few.
Here's one.
How come you're not one of them?
Well Madison, let me live
as long as I took
care of the place...
...made sure no one poked
around while they rest.
Night time, I stay inside.
Good advice for you, too.
Okay.
I might be losing my fucking
mind here asking this,
But... (SNIFFLES)
...let's assume
you're not insane, okay,
and those things do exist,
whatever the fuck they are.
(SNIFFLES)
What makes you think
they want us around?
They do exist, boy.
And no,
they don't want you around.
Like you, they got no choice.
What if they don't like us?
You're dead.
-If we leave?
-You're dead.
They'll find you.
Wherever you go,
they'll find you.
Can't have their little
secret getting out.
How long were you gonna
walk around up in the attic?
HAM:
Attic?
I wasn't up there.
Someone was.
(SIGHS)
That's an old house, baby.
-Old house, old man.
-Old secrets, too.
Secrets?
Yeah,
you ain't gonna believe--
What the hell is
Bogieville, anyway?
The-- the owner's
name is Madison,
Crawford's brother-in-law.
Was a really big
Humphrey Bogart fan,
so he named the place after it.
(LAUGHS)
Bogieville?
Yeah, that's pretty silly.
Yeah.
If you think that's a hoot,
wait until your
hear was out there.
Listen, Ham.
I know you wanna leave,
but we should at
least stay the night
and get some much-needed sleep.
I, for one, did not get much
curled up like a pretzel
last night in the Jeep
HAM:
Ford.
It's not a Jeep.
Whatever.
Baby, I gotta
tell you something.
We can't leave.
What?
I got some bad news
about Bogieville.
(DOOR CREAKS)
Lily?
Lily?
(LIGHT CLICKS)
(LILY GROWLING)
I got some...
...folks...
...staying in the room...
...directly beneath,
sweetheart.
I know.
Of course you know.
You'd know if a moth got
fried in the porch light.
You are gonna have to
stay with your aunt...
...and uncle
in the basement...
...for the good of all of us...
...until these folks
get settled...
...okay?
They stay?
CRAWFORD:
I'm not gonna be here forever.
And... (SIGHS)
...well, I need to bring in
folks I can trust...
...to keep you safe...
...and get you things you need.
I get everything I need.
I need I know you do,
sweetheart.
I know.
But I--
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I'd feel a whole lot
better knowin' you were in...
...good hands.
(LOCK CLICKING)
(DOOR CLICKS)
Oh, I-- I thought I heard
raccoons in the attic.
Once in a while,
one or two get in.
I have to flush them out.
Oh, we could check if you like.
Oh, no, no, no, thank you.
It's best if I do.
And that door...

-(HAM GASPING)
HAM: You scared
the shit out of me.
What are you doing?
Well I heard something.
You--
you didn't hear that?
You damn fool.
I told you the rules.
You gotta live by them,
or you won't live.
Right, right.
Vampires.
You had a nightmare is 'all,
so go on back to your room.
Hopefully in the morning
the nightmare will be over.
It's just beginning, boy.
(LOCK RATTLES)
Just beginning.
Damn fool.
(LAUGHING AND CHATTERING)
(AIR WHOOSHES)
What's the matter?
I-- I thought--
I thought I felt something.
Feel like this, baby?
(BETSY LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Hey Nick.
Come on, darling.
Don't be a tease.
(BETSY LAUGHS)
Nick, stop.
Stop.
There's a fucking
girl in your truck.
Hey, kid, can't
see I'm busy here?
Get the hell outta my truck.
Hey never mind, Nick.
Just get the girl
the fuck outta the truck.
Get the fuck outta there, kid.
Huh? What you doing?
BETSY:
Maybe she don't speak
no English.
NICK:
Hey, kid.
You all right?
Hey.
(SCREAMS)
So our yet-to-be-identified
animal struck again last night.
Except this time,
victim barely but alive.
Yeah, I was at the
hospital when he arrived.
I'd really like to see
if he could verify.
Verify what?
Oh, just grabbing
at thin air, Jim.
You know you holding back
some information right now
really ain't helping anybody.
Verify what, Doc?
Oh, a crazy hunch
crossed my mind.
JIM:
Yeah, well, sometimes
crazy's usually the culprit.
What is it?
Okay.
I consider this theory
based on the first victim's
complete loss of blood,
and, uh, last night's survivor
who wore a crucifix.
Yeah?
(LAUGHS)
You telling me he survived
because he was religious?
Vampires.
(LAUGHS)
Vampires?
Jesus Christ.
You been sniffin' that
chloroform again, huh?
What do you have
to dispute me?
Okay, for shits and giggles,
how about I give my deputies
a little garlic, huh,
and I call the local
reverend and I say,
"Hey don't you give everybody
some crucifixes?"
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, well that's
not a bad start.
Or you could wait until more
bloodless bodies turn up.
Come on, Doc.
What would you do
if you were my boots?
Vampire?
Plural, Jim.
More than one.
A nest, somewhere in the county,
and waiting for sun to go down.
(CHAIR CREAKS)
HAM:
He's doing his rounds now
to make sure everything is,
well, normal.
Not that I think
it's possible,
but let's just say for a minute,
let's just say there
is something, you know,
bad in this place.
Do you believe whatever
it is can come after us?
I don't know what to
believe anymore, baby.
I mean, my mind says
it ain't possible,
but what I saw and smelled,
it's just, what the fuck?
It just doesn't make any sense.
(SCRUNCHES)
All the bags are packed?
We're all set.
Gonna go get 'em.
You watch him.
(SCRUNCHES)
(GROWLS ECHO FAINTLY)
(GROWLS ECHO FAINTLY)
(LOCK RATTLES)
(HAM SIGHS)
Change your mind?
Something we gotta
do before we go.
We shouldn't waste time, Ham.
Oh great, another adventure.
(DISHES CLATTER)
I heard someone
talking downstairs.
An old house, remember?
I definitely heard someone.
We need to find out who it is.
We need Crawford's keys.
And have you got those?
HAM:
Probably in his room.
JODY:
His door is bound to be locked.
Everything in this
place is locked.
(DOOR CREAKS)
(GRUNTS)
What can I do for you, Sheriff?
John Forge.
Who and where is he?
Don't know too much about him,
other than he comes in
the bar now and then.
Last time I saw him,
he was leaving the Big Toe
with two girls on his arm.
Do you know the girls are?
No.
They hitched a ride
from Wallonia
looking for a good time.
-You know how it is.
-Hmm.
-Who wore his Stetson?
-One of the girls.
She was a sexy
little thing, too.
They say where
they were headed?
No idea.
They stuck around for
a few drinks after the fight
and then they took off.
-Fight?
-EDDIE: Yeah.
John and some guy
named Ham, Ham Simms.
-Why were they fighting?
-EDDIE: What else?
The girls.
After I broke it up,
Ham said he was gonna
get John, kill him.
A few others heard
him say it, too.
Where's Ham now?
Him and his girlfriend,
Jody Barnett,
my ex-waitress who hit me
over the head with a bottle...
...staying in the rooming
house on Morgan Street.
Word is, after the fight,
they skipped town.
I think Ham's friend, Nick,
might know where they went to.
Nick?
Where's he now?
He's in the hospital.
He's the guy I got attacked by
that bear in my parking lot.
Wasn't it?
Okay,
that about
does it, for now.
Your statement's
been very helpful.
If you see or hear Ham, Jody...
...you give me a call.
Sure thing, Sheriff.
Oh, and, uh, I'm guessing
you already know that Ham
used to work at the gas station
where they found
the owner killed.
I figured it was kind of funny
since the guy fired Ham
a few hours earlier.
Thank you.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Looks like
they all made it back.
(KEYS JINGLE)
Basement, now.
You can't go down there.
You gotta admit,
your vampire story
is just a little bit
far-fetched.
Scent or no scent, show us.
Now.
-You are acting crazy.
-Not now, baby.
(CRAWFORD SIGHS)
(KEYS JINGLING)
If you two are so
hell-bent on seeing...
...so be it.
Ooh.
Let's go.
CRAWFORD:
You chicks gonna fly the coop?
Open the door
and we'll find out.
Last warning.
You sure you both
want to do this?
-My God.
-(GAGS)
(BOTH GAGGING)
-Now you got their scent.
-Don't.
Where's the light?
Go on down.
Light will come on.
(LOCK RATTLES)
HAM:
Where's the damn light?
-(GROWLS)
-(GASPS, SCREAMS)
Why are you here?
(GROWLS)
We-- we-- we were looking--
we were looking for work,
and we had a crash and--
and-- and there was a sign.
Daddy sent you?
Yes, yes, yes!
Your-- your-- your dad sent us
to-- to-- to--
See with your own eyes?
Curiosity killed the cat.
-(SCREAMS)
-How's that?
We, believe.
We believe.
We believe!
We believe!
We believe!
You believe.
-And you stay.
-(CHOKING)
You obey, you obey,
or you die!
Like us.
(MACHINES BEEPING)
Hey.
Hey Nick.
What can you tell me
about the attack?
(GROANS)
Not a person.
Not a person?
I don't know.
She-- she looked
like a little girl.
Terrifying.
She looked dead.
She was on Betsy before.
I tried to get her off.
-He needs rest, Jim.
-I want answers.
You really think he's
part of those attacks?
If so, who attacked him?
That's why I ask
the questions, Doc.
You heard him.
She looked dead.
I won't be convinced
until I have checked
every bit of evidence.
I'm convinced
you're wasting time,
looking in the wrong direction.
I work in the direction
that the evidence points me,
and right now it's pointing me
to him and Ham.
And I won't be nudged
by your comic book
blood-sucking theory.
You know damn well that
is not what this is about.
Doc...
...enough.
Until something proves me wrong,
I'm gonna stay the
course of questioning,
him and bring Ham in.
What you gonna do
if I'm right, and it's too late?
Nothing I can do until
I get some solid proof.
Like it or not,
that's how it is.
We need to keep
this under our hats.
The public will have our hides
if we cry wolf about
some goddamn vampires.
They'll have your hide
if I'm right.
You forgot to mention
your daughter's one of them
I intended to,
before you just had to
find out for yourself.
(SIGHS)
A while ago,
Madison got attacked
by one of them.
I don't know where
it came from or why.

What the hell was that?
The way she just melted away
like some movie vampire thing.
Vampires?
(PANTS)
That's just what we need
to bring in the rentals.
Come feed the pet
goddamn fucking vampire.
Crazy how she burned up
like that.
Well, maybe she got
something flammable on her.
Don't know what it was.
Scared the shit outta me.
I'll get the first aid kit.
That was no woman, Madison.
Humans don't just
turn to matches.
You all right, uncle?
Yeah, now you know.
(GRUNTS)
I don't feel so good.
I think I need to get inside.
(GROANS)
(CUPBOARDS RATTLING)

Madison?

Lily.
My god, what happened?
(CRAWFORD PANTING)
Are you okay, sweetie?
You're bleedin' now.

what's happened?
(CRAWFORD PANTING)
(TESS GROWLING)

(LILY GROWLING)
-(BONES CRACKLING)

(TESS HISSING)
Oh my God.

Lily.
Lily...
your uncle?
What happened to you.
Oh my God, no.
Oh, Jesus Christ,
this can't be happening, no.
It's happening, Crawford.
CRAWFORD:
I know now.
But Madison said
he'd protect Lily.
MADISON:
What is Crawford doing
out there?
Poor man's been
trying to tie a bow
in Lily's hair for 20 minutes.
Ah, you mean poor Lily,
suffering through her daddy
tryin' to tie a bow for an hour.
He can saddle a horse,
but he can't work a bow.
I think you need
to show him how.
Go on.
There.
No, Daddy.
That's too tight.
I won't be able to take it out.
-I have scissors.
-Oh no. No way.
I think you might
wanna ask your Aunt Tessy
what she thinks of
your dad's handwork.
Care to help me feed
Mattie a treat, Lily?
Yes, Maddy loves chicken.
Oh yeah.
Mattie does love chicken.
Come on, let's go.
(SIGHS)
I could fiddle
with that damn ribbon
'til hell froze over.
Don't that get close to
what her mom could've done.
Well us men, we ain't
designed for bows and things.
But I admire you for trying.
Well, I, I promised Anna
I'd take care of Lily,
and that includes
bows and things.
Breaks my heart to see
her without her mom.
That's gonna be rough
enough as it is.
I don't know how you find
the strength, Crawford.
Losing a wife, bringing
up a child, alone,
a blind child.
Blind or not,
she's my life.
You know, we found out
Tess couldn't have babies,
and Lord knows, I tried.
Your Lily, she became
a blessing to us.
And we thank you
for taking us in
after
Anna...
I, I can't.
Crawford, we're family now.
We're family.
If I protected them.
It's happened.
Now go.
Protect yourself.
Go!
(CRAWFORD PANTING)
(SIGHS)
I didn't have much choice...
...so I figured, uh...
...I'd play ball.
Protect her from what?
The others.
All them out in Bogieville...
...well, they'd rip
each other apart
like a pack of wild
dogs if they wanted.
Wait a minute,
it was just the three of them,
right?
'Til they went into
Bogieville and had a feast,
creating a domino effect,
ones they turned,
attacked the others.
That was 20 years ago.
Lily doesn't look over 10.
They stay the same.
It's when they turn,
they don't age.
And Lily'd be nearly 30 now.
I'm the only one in Bogieville
that's aged.
Safe to assume,
since you're still alive...
...you've been approved.
When my time comes,
Bogieville will,
excuse the pun,
live on.
Now all you gotta do is
meet the rest of them.
Where are you going?
()
Great little adventure
you've dragged us in this time.
Sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.
We need to get the fuck
outta here.
We'll find a way.
We always do.
That monster's pretty convincing
he'd kill us both if we left.
(DOOR CLICKS)
Come with me, both of you.
Where?
Madison calls, you go.
If not, he'll come to you.
You don't want that.
(JODY WHIMPERING)
I can't go, go back there.
I can't go down there again.
Not downstairs.
Outside.
(WHIMPERS)
(SNIFFLES)
(VAMPIRES GROWLING AND HISSING)
-Stay close to me.
-No shit.
Easy now.
(VAMPIRES GROWLING AND HISSING)
They ain't gonna harm us,
even though they're achin'
to rip our throats out.
So stay still.
(VAMPIRES GROWLING)
-(JODY WHIMPERING)
-Shut your yaps.
No, you will not take
their lives.
-Why?
-Because I say so.
When Crawford dies,
you'll need protection.
Not from you.
You turned my wife,
and now I should obey you?
You take life from
too far, Billy Cupps.
And you, too near.
Remember, Billy Cupps,
I once had a soul.
I didn't choose this life.
(GROWLS)
Whatever you want,
Uncle, so took us with you.
The little one
speaks the truth.
You should be ended.
Enough.
Stay with me,
you'll have protection.
You go with him,
you will all be ended.
(GROWLS)
Now go, Billy Cupps.
Go!
-Any questions?
-(JODY PANTING)
Hey, I just can't believe
all those fuckers are dead.
Oh, you noticed that, did you?
There's a kind of
wonderment to them.
Dead, but not dead.
Lungs, but no air.
Ravenous need for blood.
Without it,
they can get right nasty.
They have a strength and
power they never had before.
Lily's senses increased 1,000%.
-This can't be happening.
-Oh, it is.
Except you two smack
dab in the middle of it.
And who, who was
Madison fighting with?
Billy Cupps, Madison's
number one pain in the ass
since he first moved
into Bogieville.
They never got along,
but Cupps was always
popular with the rest of us.
I'm just surprised they've
never been found out.
Billy Cupps believes that
Madison will get discovered
by taking life
close to Bogieville.
Problems of the undead?
Well there's always the chance
they may not make it back by
sunup, have to hide somewhere,
but that leaves some
more chance of discovery.
I guarantee a few of 'em
are gonna be ash
piles in the morning.
(SIGHS) I just pray...
...Lily's not one of them.
Then again...
...her nightmare would be over.
Why don't they just
step out in the sun
if they're so hateful
of what they are?
Their only concern
is surviving,
and their last hope
of survival is staying alive.
Accepting who you are...
...it's easier than ending
your existence.
All right, everybody,
now I need y'all
to pay attention.
Now, all the recent murders,
including the slaughter
last night at Marcy's
are still unexplained.
But we may have insight to
who or what may committed them.
The Doc here, she has a theory
that seems inconceivable,
but after weighing
up the evidence,
I have to conclude is feasible,
no matter how absurd
it may seem.
Doc?
In a nutshell,
we are under siege by vampires.
(OFFICERS LAUGHING)
(LAUGHS)
What the fuck? Seriously?
Hey,
now I know it sounds crazy.
That was my first thought, too.
But what I'd like y'all to do is
take a good look at
these here photographs.
You'll notice how
all the victims
have been completely
drained of the blood.
As you know, a man and
a woman were attacked
in the Big Toe parking lot.
The man survived because of
a crucifix around his neck.
We're looking for Bela Lugosi?
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHTER)
Quiet down.
Quiet down.
This shit is crazy.
Ham Simms'...
...is still a suspect,
and until we find him,
we approach
with extreme caution.
How we supposed to know it's
not just some drugged-up kid?
First of all, I need y'all
to take this seriously,
and you see one,
call for backup.
And do not, I repeat,
do not approach alone.
What about our families?
Well, it's in
everybody's best interest
that we do not inform
anybody of this
until everything is verified.
That is all.

Well that went well.

Well, Madison took

before he went to eat.
All right, boy,
now you need to calm down
before you get down there, huh?
(PANTS)
Ah,
I take it Madison found you.
Handcuffed to a couple
of deputies.
Deputies? Why?
Because the sheriff wanted
to talk about a murder,
and I'm pretty sure
I know who did it.
You didn't tell him
anything, did you?
I didn't have time to,
'cause Madison has pals killed
everyone before I could.
I'm pretty sure
his secret's out.
Did you find a hider
in the barn?
Hider? There was a woman
under a truck.
Can we talk about
this downstairs?
I really need to
check on Jody right--
You listen to me, right here!
You caused some kind
of racket around here.
You're goddamn lucky you
ain't dead now, or worse.
So if I got a few questions,
you quietin' down
until I'm good and ready
to bring you downstairs.
Now you tell me about the barn.
There was a woman
under a truck.
She reached out to me
and I took her hand
and there pulled her out.
She burned.
To be honest with you,
she was relieved.
Now, we ain't here to assist
in suicide, boy.

I can't go.

He'll know.
Great timing.
We're not safe no matter

But if I stay, that fuckin'

So you go,
find the sheriff,

Okay.

Crawford was a good man,

Hell, he gave his life
protecting her.
May he rest in peace.

Where's your truck?
Battery died on me.
So whose van is that?
It doesn't really matter.
Can't use it anyways.
Crawford saw to that.
How the hell
are you getting outta here?
There's a truck in the barn.
Probably gonna try
to use that one.
You know there ain't anything's
gonna stop us, ain't that right?
Besides, it's you we have

One thing you can't

we got plenty of it.
Now call those

vampires, blood-suckers,
I don't care.
One thing you can't
call 'em is human.
And yes, you're right.
We ain't never dealt with
anything like this before.
But with the good
Lord by our side...
...we sure as hell we'll
do the best that we can...
...and I'll be damned

You can always turn around

They're hardly

Now's the best time to hit them,
when they're vulnerable.
Well let's hope
you get 'em all.
HAM:
We have to.
Pretty sure if any
of them survive,
they'll just find
another safe spot.

Sheriff.
Dispatch says the plates
on the pickup belonged
to a Melvin Crosby

a missing persons file on him
and the girlfriend
from a camping trip.
You tell the sheriff

they ain't missing anymore.
-Yes sir.
-Oh,
and got a pickup
truck for that van.
Yes sir.

No.
I wouldn't have

No.

What are we gonna do now?
Can't live on my tips.

Well, Dudley said the station
ain't doin' so good,
so he can't afford
to keep me around.
So who's gonna
do the repair work?
That's what I thought,

could find some work?
You're looking
for work, are you?
Where you from?
Penter.
So you're not
from these parts?
Wouldn't know.
I don't know
where these parts are.
Willonia County line.
Penter's a fair ride.
Well we, we drove
a fair distance.
Aimlessly.
Best you get back on the road,
mosey on about your travels.
Listen, long story
short, like I said,
we only stopped by to
make sure no one was hurt.
Sorry for bothering you.
Well, no one's hurt
and there's no work,
so we'll be on our way.
Hold on now.
I might have some work.
If you got a mind to it.
You got anyone gonna
come looking for you?
Uh, well we're--
we're mostly on our own.
Name's Crawford.
Ham.
This is Jody.
You got yourself a Bible name.
Had God-fearing parents.
Ham was the cursed son of Noah.
Well, most people
believed the curse was--
Meant for his brother, Canaan.
Ain't much to do here at night
except read the Good Book.
Helps keep me abreast
of such things.
-Well, Mr. Crawford.
-Just Crawford, boy.
No formalities needed.
All right, Crawford.
What kind of work
have you got for us?
Maintenance.
Well this place
could definitely use
some hammer and nails.
Well, why don't you
two just think about it.
We will.
()
()
So what do you think?
We need work, I guess.
This bad?
I mean look at this
place and the old man.
Seriously?
He doesn't freak you out?
He does.
But we need food, gas,
place to sleep,
and I definitely need a tub.
Let's go, little lady.
(WATER DRIPPING)
CRAWFORD:
Sorry to put a scare
into you folks.
We don't take a shine
to trespassers.
I can give you three
meals and a roof.
Sound fair?
Uh, that's a,
it's a very kind offer,
but we'd appreciate some cash.
I mean, we can find
elsewhere to stay.
You too gotta stay here.
Day, and especially night.
Cash ain't an issue,
but you won't have a need.
Well, of course
we'll have a need.
I mean, we need cash to buy
gas and for everyday expenses.
All your needs are right here,
what can be got.
Better you just settle in,
do your chores...
...hunker down at night.
Why the shotgun?
Troublesome animals
wherever the hell we are?
Something like that, missy.
This here's the attic.
It stays locked.
Right.
This one here's your room.
Ain't been used in a while.
Hmm.
Could use a cleaning,
but it's comfy.
Better than the Jeep.
I'm gonna go freshen up.
()
You own this place?
Madison does.
I'm his brother-in-law.
We cleared
the farm yard out back.
Put in water, electricity,
rented lots to mobile homes.
Madison's a fan of
Humphrey Bogart,
so we named the whole shit
and caboodle Bogieville.
(DISHES RATTLING)
(GASPS)
Madison!
I almost dropped the dish.
Your the only dish I want,
and just 'cause there's
a little girl outside
don't mean you ain't gonna
get what's comin' to you.
(GIGGLES)
My beautiful wife.
Did you fix
the water connection
-at the Robertson's unit?
-(SIGHS)
Nope.
Billy Cupps again.
Again?
Why do residents complain to you
if he's going to fix everything?
Maybe you should hire Billy
as your maintenance man.
Maybe I should not.
I do wish he'd leave the
maintenance of my property
to me and Crawford.
People to get the wrong idea
about who runs this place.
He thinks he's the
mayor of Bogieville.
Well then maybe it's time
we impeached the mayor.
(LAUGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
(HAM LAUGHS)
No shit.
Bogieville?
Catchy.
You and missy hitched?
Hitched? No.
No, well, not yet.
Someday.
We all got our somedays.
You and the little
lady got freedom
of this place from
sunrise to sunset.
Nothing in Bogieville
needs fixing, so stay out.
You two have got to adhere
to the rules...
...most importantly...
...never leave this house
at night.
You got it?
Can't go out for a drink?
-Dance a little?
-Not in these parts.
And never let anyone
into the house at night.
Do you understand?
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Sure.
(CLEARS THROAT)
So, uh, Madison, huh?
Madison ever come by?
Oh, he comes and goes.
You'll meet, I'm sure.
(CLOTHING RUSTLES)
The attic and basement
door are locked...
...always.
No two ways about it.
You got it?
Yeah.
Got it.
()
Now might be a good time...
...to give you a quick tour of
the place before it gets dark.
Yeah.
Yeah, uh, just gimme a few
minutes and I'll be right out.
Don't take too long.
()
(SIGHS)
Welcome to civilization.
JODY:
Come on in.
Have a seat.
Did you hear the old man
yapping about all the rules?
I mean, he fucking grabbed me,
and he was like
"Close the windows.
Stay in. Lock this.
Don't go there."
Everywhere has rules, Ham.
But this place has too many.
-Something ain't right.
-Yeah. Us.
But we need work.
And all the shit about not
letting anyone in at night.
I mean, who?
(HAM SCOFFING)
I mean, I don't think
any holy rollers
are gonna come around here.
I doubt they would ever
find the place, anyways.
I'm glad no one
else is around.
It's peaceful, almost.
Listen, I think--
Can we think later?
I wanna soak, alone, okay?
All right. All right.
Hey, rub-a-dub.
But we seriously need to
think about this place.
Something ain't right.
I gotta go now.
Rifle man wants
to show me around
and probably tell me
what else I can't do.
()
HAM:
You burning something?
CRAWFORD:
You don't wanna know.
HAM:
All right.
So people live here?
Something like that.
Right now, they're resting.
We need to take
a quick walk around,
make sure everything's normal.
They're resting...
...and that's normal?
(HAM LAUGHS)
-You're kidding me, right?
-This ain't no joke.
So, uh, is this some sort
of a ghost mobile home park
or something?
'Cause I mean, no offence,
it just doesn't seem that
you accomplished a lot
of the maintenance end
of things, you know?
Bogieville ain't our problem.
You maintain the farmhouse,
barn...
...nothing more.
Keep quiet.
Follow me.
(SIGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
Slowpoke didn't make it.
That there ash pile's
a kid named Terry.
He's about 16.
Son of George and mother,
what's-her-name.
You gotta tell me right now
what the hell is going on!
I'll do one better.
I'll show you.
(DOOR SLAMS OPEN)
That there's George and the
mother, um, what's-her-name.
()
What the fuck?
What the-- (GASPS)
What the fuck is that?
(DOOR SLAMS)
(PANTS)
What the fuck was that?
Best be headed back.
Be dark soon.
HAM:
No, no, I wanna know.
No, I-- I demand to know
what the hell is going on,
because there's a burned up kid
that no one seems to
give a fuck about,
and-- and God knows what
was in that trailer.
But you know what?
No, this is just too weird.
-We're leaving.
-Slow your ass down, boy.
You can't leave.
You're gonna do what?
You're gonna shoot me?
They have your scent.
They have my scent?
Who has my scent?
If you're gonna be here,
you gotta know what
you're dealing with.
Yes, yes.
That's what I've been
trying to get you to do,
tell me what the
hell is going on,
besides an old man who thinks
all this shit is normal.
Madison,
he stays in the basement.
Madison?
Madison, the-- the-- the owner
of this fantasy land,
he-- he lives in the basement?
I said he's there.
I said nothing about living.
Why he in the basement?
Daylight.
Oh, for fuck's sake,
come on, man!
Just stop with this
whole daytime, nighttime,
he has my scent bullshit.
Just stop with the riddles
and tell me the truth.
Vampires.
Bogieville is filled with them.
That's who has your scent,
and that is why you
and missy can't leave.
You happy now?
(SIGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Vampires.
Good one.
Good one!
You almost had me there.
Geez.
For an old man, you got
a hell of a sense of humor.
They're real!
And they're here.
Now, I know you think
I'm just an old fool,
lost his mind, and believe me,
I wish that was the case.
Come nightfall,
reality is gonna set in.
You're serious?
Sorry you and the little
lady got mixed up in this,
but you came here.
No one dragged your ass in.
Glad to answer any
questions you might have.
I might have.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, yeah,
I might have a few.
Here's one.
How come you're not one of them?
Well Madison, let me live
as long as I took
care of the place...
...made sure no one poked
around while they rest.
Night time, I stay inside.
Good advice for you, too.
Okay.
I might be losing my fucking
mind here asking this,
But... (SNIFFLES)
...let's assume
you're not insane, okay,
and those things do exist,
whatever the fuck they are.
(SNIFFLES)
What makes you think
they want us around?
They do exist, boy.
And no,
they don't want you around.
Like you, they got no choice.
What if they don't like us?
You're dead.
-If we leave?
-You're dead.
They'll find you.
Wherever you go,
they'll find you.
Can't have their little
secret getting out.
How long were you gonna
walk around up in the attic?
HAM:
Attic?
I wasn't up there.
Someone was.
(SIGHS)
That's an old house, baby.
-Old house, old man.
-Old secrets, too.
Secrets?
Yeah,
you ain't gonna believe--
What the hell is
Bogieville, anyway?
The-- the owner's
name is Madison,
Crawford's brother-in-law.
Was a really big
Humphrey Bogart fan,
so he named the place after it.
(LAUGHS)
Bogieville?
Yeah, that's pretty silly.
Yeah.
If you think that's a hoot,
wait until your
hear was out there.
Listen, Ham.
I know you wanna leave,
but we should at
least stay the night
and get some much-needed sleep.
I, for one, did not get much
curled up like a pretzel
last night in the Jeep
HAM:
Ford.
It's not a Jeep.
Whatever.
Baby, I gotta
tell you something.
We can't leave.
What?
I got some bad news
about Bogieville.
(DOOR CREAKS)
Lily?
Lily?
(LIGHT CLICKS)
(LILY GROWLING)
I got some...
...folks...
...staying in the room...
...directly beneath,
sweetheart.
I know.
Of course you know.
You'd know if a moth got
fried in the porch light.
You are gonna have to
stay with your aunt...
...and uncle
in the basement...
...for the good of all of us...
...until these folks
get settled...
...okay?
They stay?
CRAWFORD:
I'm not gonna be here forever.
And... (SIGHS)
...well, I need to bring in
folks I can trust...
...to keep you safe...
...and get you things you need.
I get everything I need.
I need I know you do,
sweetheart.
I know.
But I--
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I'd feel a whole lot
better knowin' you were in...
...good hands.
(LOCK CLICKING)
(DOOR CLICKS)
Oh, I-- I thought I heard
raccoons in the attic.
Once in a while,
one or two get in.
I have to flush them out.
Oh, we could check if you like.
Oh, no, no, no, thank you.
It's best if I do.
And that door...
(LOCK RATTLES)
...stays locked.
()

-CRAWFORD: What you doing boy?
-(HAM GASPING)
HAM: You scared
the shit out of me.
What are you doing?
Well I heard something.
You--
you didn't hear that?
You damn fool.
I told you the rules.
You gotta live by them,
or you won't live.
Right, right.
Vampires.
You had a nightmare is 'all,
so go on back to your room.
Hopefully in the morning
the nightmare will be over.
It's just beginning, boy.
(LOCK RATTLES)
Just beginning.
Damn fool.
(LAUGHING AND CHATTERING)
(AIR WHOOSHES)
What's the matter?
I-- I thought--
I thought I felt something.
Feel like this, baby?
(BETSY LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
Hey Nick.
Come on, darling.
Don't be a tease.
(BETSY LAUGHS)
Nick, stop.
Stop.
There's a fucking
girl in your truck.
Hey, kid, can't
see I'm busy here?
Get the hell outta my truck.
Hey never mind, Nick.
Just get the girl
the fuck outta the truck.
Get the fuck outta there, kid.
Huh? What you doing?
BETSY:
Maybe she don't speak
no English.
NICK:
Hey, kid.
You all right?
Hey.
(SCREAMS)
So our yet-to-be-identified
animal struck again last night.
Except this time,
victim barely but alive.
Yeah, I was at the
hospital when he arrived.
I'd really like to see
if he could verify.
Verify what?
Oh, just grabbing
at thin air, Jim.
You know you holding back
some information right now
really ain't helping anybody.
Verify what, Doc?
Oh, a crazy hunch
crossed my mind.
JIM:
Yeah, well, sometimes
crazy's usually the culprit.
What is it?
Okay.
I consider this theory
based on the first victim's
complete loss of blood,
and, uh, last night's survivor
who wore a crucifix.
Yeah?
(LAUGHS)
You telling me he survived
because he was religious?
Vampires.
(LAUGHS)
Vampires?
Jesus Christ.
You been sniffin' that
chloroform again, huh?
What do you have
to dispute me?
Okay, for shits and giggles,
how about I give my deputies
a little garlic, huh,
and I call the local
reverend and I say,
"Hey don't you give everybody
some crucifixes?"
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, well that's
not a bad start.
Or you could wait until more
bloodless bodies turn up.
Come on, Doc.
What would you do
if you were my boots?
Vampire?
Plural, Jim.
More than one.
A nest, somewhere in the county,
and waiting for sun to go down.
(CHAIR CREAKS)
HAM:
He's doing his rounds now
to make sure everything is,
well, normal.
Not that I think
it's possible,
but let's just say for a minute,
let's just say there
is something, you know,
bad in this place.
Do you believe whatever
it is can come after us?
I don't know what to
believe anymore, baby.
I mean, my mind says
it ain't possible,
but what I saw and smelled,
it's just, what the fuck?
It just doesn't make any sense.
(SCRUNCHES)
All the bags are packed?
We're all set.
Gonna go get 'em.
You watch him.
(SCRUNCHES)
(GROWLS ECHO FAINTLY)
(GROWLS ECHO FAINTLY)
(LOCK RATTLES)
(HAM SIGHS)
Change your mind?
Something we gotta
do before we go.
We shouldn't waste time, Ham.
Oh great, another adventure.
(DISHES CLATTER)
I heard someone
talking downstairs.
An old house, remember?
I definitely heard someone.
We need to find out who it is.
We need Crawford's keys.
And have you got those?
HAM:
Probably in his room.
JODY:
His door is bound to be locked.
Everything in this
place is locked.
(DOOR CREAKS)
(GRUNTS)
What can I do for you, Sheriff?
John Forge.
Who and where is he?
Don't know too much about him,
other than he comes in
the bar now and then.
Last time I saw him,
he was leaving the Big Toe
with two girls on his arm.
Do you know the girls are?
No.
They hitched a ride
from Wallonia
looking for a good time.
-You know how it is.
-Hmm.
-Who wore his Stetson?
-One of the girls.
She was a sexy
little thing, too.
They say where
they were headed?
No idea.
They stuck around for
a few drinks after the fight
and then they took off.
-Fight?
-EDDIE: Yeah.
John and some guy
named Ham, Ham Simms.
-Why were they fighting?
-EDDIE: What else?
The girls.
After I broke it up,
Ham said he was gonna
get John, kill him.
A few others heard
him say it, too.
Where's Ham now?
Him and his girlfriend,
Jody Barnett,
my ex-waitress who hit me
over the head with a bottle...
...staying in the rooming
house on Morgan Street.
Word is, after the fight,
they skipped town.
I think Ham's friend, Nick,
might know where they went to.
Nick?
Where's he now?
He's in the hospital.
He's the guy I got attacked by
that bear in my parking lot.
Wasn't it?
Okay,
that about
does it, for now.
Your statement's
been very helpful.
If you see or hear Ham, Jody...
...you give me a call.
Sure thing, Sheriff.
Oh, and, uh, I'm guessing
you already know that Ham
used to work at the gas station
where they found
the owner killed.
I figured it was kind of funny
since the guy fired Ham
a few hours earlier.
Thank you.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Looks like
they all made it back.
(KEYS JINGLE)
Basement, now.
You can't go down there.
You gotta admit,
your vampire story
is just a little bit
far-fetched.
Scent or no scent, show us.
Now.
-You are acting crazy.
-Not now, baby.
(CRAWFORD SIGHS)
(KEYS JINGLING)
If you two are so
hell-bent on seeing...
...so be it.
Ooh.
Let's go.
CRAWFORD:
You chicks gonna fly the coop?
Open the door
and we'll find out.
Last warning.
You sure you both
want to do this?
-My God.
-(GAGS)
(BOTH GAGGING)
-Now you got their scent.
-Don't.
Where's the light?
Go on down.
Light will come on.
(LOCK RATTLES)
HAM:
Where's the damn light?
-(GROWLS)
-(GASPS, SCREAMS)
Why are you here?
(GROWLS)
We-- we-- we were looking--
we were looking for work,
and we had a crash and--
and-- and there was a sign.
Daddy sent you?
Yes, yes, yes!
Your-- your-- your dad sent us
to-- to-- to--
See with your own eyes?
Curiosity killed the cat.
-(SCREAMS)
-How's that?
We, believe.
We believe.
We believe!
We believe!
We believe!
You believe.
-And you stay.
-(CHOKING)
You obey, you obey,
or you die!
Like us.
(MACHINES BEEPING)
Hey.
Hey Nick.
What can you tell me
about the attack?
(GROANS)
Not a person.
Not a person?
I don't know.
She-- she looked
like a little girl.
Terrifying.
She looked dead.
She was on Betsy before.
I tried to get her off.
-He needs rest, Jim.
-I want answers.
You really think he's
part of those attacks?
If so, who attacked him?
That's why I ask
the questions, Doc.
You heard him.
She looked dead.
I won't be convinced
until I have checked
every bit of evidence.
I'm convinced
you're wasting time,
looking in the wrong direction.
I work in the direction
that the evidence points me,
and right now it's pointing me
to him and Ham.
And I won't be nudged
by your comic book
blood-sucking theory.
You know damn well that
is not what this is about.
Doc...
...enough.
Until something proves me wrong,
I'm gonna stay the
course of questioning,
him and bring Ham in.
What you gonna do
if I'm right, and it's too late?
Nothing I can do until
I get some solid proof.
Like it or not,
that's how it is.
We need to keep
this under our hats.
The public will have our hides
if we cry wolf about
some goddamn vampires.
They'll have your hide
if I'm right.
You forgot to mention
your daughter's one of them
I intended to,
before you just had to
find out for yourself.
(SIGHS)
A while ago,
Madison got attacked
by one of them.
I don't know where
it came from or why.

What the hell was that?
The way she just melted away
like some movie vampire thing.
Vampires?
(PANTS)
That's just what we need
to bring in the rentals.
Come feed the pet
goddamn fucking vampire.
Crazy how she burned up
like that.
Well, maybe she got
something flammable on her.
Don't know what it was.
Scared the shit outta me.
I'll get the first aid kit.
That was no woman, Madison.
Humans don't just
turn to matches.
You all right, uncle?
Yeah, now you know.
(GRUNTS)
I don't feel so good.
I think I need to get inside.
(GROANS)
(CUPBOARDS RATTLING)
(PANTS)
Madison?
Lily?

Lily.
My god, what happened?
(CRAWFORD PANTING)
Are you okay, sweetie?
You're bleedin' now.
what-- what--
what's happened?
(CRAWFORD PANTING)
(TESS GROWLING)
What the--
(LILY GROWLING)
-(BONES CRACKLING)
-(TESS GROWLING)
(TESS HISSING)
Oh my God.
God Almighty.
Uncle?
God Almighty.
Lily.
Lily...
your uncle?
What happened to you.
Oh my God, no.
Oh, Jesus Christ,
this can't be happening, no.
It's happening, Crawford.
CRAWFORD:
I know now.
But Madison said
he'd protect Lily.
MADISON:
What is Crawford doing
out there?
Poor man's been
trying to tie a bow
in Lily's hair for 20 minutes.
Ah, you mean poor Lily,
suffering through her daddy
tryin' to tie a bow for an hour.
He can saddle a horse,
but he can't work a bow.
I think you need
to show him how.
Go on.
There.
No, Daddy.
That's too tight.
I won't be able to take it out.
-I have scissors.
-Oh no. No way.
I think you might
wanna ask your Aunt Tessy
what she thinks of
your dad's handwork.
Care to help me feed
Mattie a treat, Lily?
Yes, Maddy loves chicken.
Oh yeah.
Mattie does love chicken.
Come on, let's go.
(SIGHS)
I could fiddle
with that damn ribbon
'til hell froze over.
Don't that get close to
what her mom could've done.
Well us men, we ain't
designed for bows and things.
But I admire you for trying.
Well, I, I promised Anna
I'd take care of Lily,
and that includes
bows and things.
Breaks my heart to see
her without her mom.
That's gonna be rough
enough as it is.
I don't know how you find
the strength, Crawford.
Losing a wife, bringing
up a child, alone,
a blind child.
Blind or not,
she's my life.
You know, we found out
Tess couldn't have babies,
and Lord knows, I tried.
Your Lily, she became
a blessing to us.
And we thank you
for taking us in
after
Anna...
I, I can't.
Crawford, we're family now.
We're family.
If I protected them.
It's happened.
Now go.
Protect yourself.
Go!
(CRAWFORD PANTING)
(SIGHS)
I didn't have much choice...
...so I figured, uh...
...I'd play ball.
Protect her from what?
The others.
All them out in Bogieville...
...well, they'd rip
each other apart
like a pack of wild
dogs if they wanted.
Wait a minute,
it was just the three of them,
right?
'Til they went into
Bogieville and had a feast,
creating a domino effect,
ones they turned,
attacked the others.
That was 20 years ago.
Lily doesn't look over 10.
They stay the same.
It's when they turn,
they don't age.
And Lily'd be nearly 30 now.
I'm the only one in Bogieville
that's aged.
Safe to assume,
since you're still alive...
...you've been approved.
When my time comes,
Bogieville will,
excuse the pun,
live on.
Now all you gotta do is
meet the rest of them.
Where are you going?
()
Great little adventure
you've dragged us in this time.
Sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.
We need to get the fuck
outta here.
We'll find a way.
We always do.
That monster's pretty convincing
he'd kill us both if we left.
(DOOR CLICKS)
Come with me, both of you.
Where?
Madison calls, you go.
If not, he'll come to you.
You don't want that.
(JODY WHIMPERING)
I can't go, go back there.
I can't go down there again.
Not downstairs.
Outside.
(WHIMPERS)
(SNIFFLES)
(VAMPIRES GROWLING AND HISSING)
-Stay close to me.
-No shit.
Easy now.
(VAMPIRES GROWLING AND HISSING)
They ain't gonna harm us,
even though they're achin'
to rip our throats out.
So stay still.
(VAMPIRES GROWLING)
-(JODY WHIMPERING)
-Shut your yaps.
No, you will not take
their lives.
-Why?
-Because I say so.
When Crawford dies,
you'll need protection.
Not from you.
You turned my wife,
and now I should obey you?
You take life from
too far, Billy Cupps.
And you, too near.
Remember, Billy Cupps,
I once had a soul.
I didn't choose this life.
(GROWLS)
Whatever you want,
Uncle, so took us with you.
The little one
speaks the truth.
You should be ended.
Enough.
Stay with me,
you'll have protection.
You go with him,
you will all be ended.
(GROWLS)
Now go, Billy Cupps.
Go!
-Any questions?
-(JODY PANTING)
Hey, I just can't believe
all those fuckers are dead.
Oh, you noticed that, did you?
There's a kind of
wonderment to them.
Dead, but not dead.
Lungs, but no air.
Ravenous need for blood.
Without it,
they can get right nasty.
They have a strength and
power they never had before.
Lily's senses increased 1,000%.
-This can't be happening.
-Oh, it is.
Except you two smack
dab in the middle of it.
And who, who was
Madison fighting with?
Billy Cupps, Madison's
number one pain in the ass
since he first moved
into Bogieville.
They never got along,
but Cupps was always
popular with the rest of us.
I'm just surprised they've
never been found out.
Billy Cupps believes that
Madison will get discovered
by taking life
close to Bogieville.
Problems of the undead?
Well there's always the chance
they may not make it back by
sunup, have to hide somewhere,
but that leaves some
more chance of discovery.
I guarantee a few of 'em
are gonna be ash
piles in the morning.
(SIGHS) I just pray...
...Lily's not one of them.
Then again...
...her nightmare would be over.
Why don't they just
step out in the sun
if they're so hateful
of what they are?
Their only concern
is surviving,
and their last hope
of survival is staying alive.
Accepting who you are...
...it's easier than ending
your existence.
All right, everybody,
now I need y'all
to pay attention.
Now, all the recent murders,
including the slaughter
last night at Marcy's
are still unexplained.
But we may have insight to
who or what may committed them.
The Doc here, she has a theory
that seems inconceivable,
but after weighing
up the evidence,
I have to conclude is feasible,
no matter how absurd
it may seem.
Doc?
In a nutshell,
we are under siege by vampires.
(OFFICERS LAUGHING)
(LAUGHS)
What the fuck? Seriously?
Hey,
now I know it sounds crazy.
That was my first thought, too.
But what I'd like y'all to do is
take a good look at
these here photographs.
You'll notice how
all the victims
have been completely
drained of the blood.
As you know, a man and
a woman were attacked
in the Big Toe parking lot.
The man survived because of
a crucifix around his neck.
We're looking for Bela Lugosi?
(LAUGHS)
(LAUGHTER)
Quiet down.
Quiet down.
This shit is crazy.
Ham Simms'...
...is still a suspect,
and until we find him,
we approach
with extreme caution.
How we supposed to know it's
not just some drugged-up kid?
First of all, I need y'all
to take this seriously,
and you see one,
call for backup.
And do not, I repeat,
do not approach alone.
What about our families?
Well, it's in
everybody's best interest
that we do not inform
anybody of this
until everything is verified.
That is all.
()
Well that went well.

He wasn't showing any

Oh and he's not
wearing his crucifix,

So she was right.
Someone or something
wanted him dead that night.
Yeah, he was attacked

Well, Madison took
her downstairs
before he went to eat.
All right, boy,
now you need to calm down
before you get down there, huh?
(PANTS)
Ah,
I take it Madison found you.
Handcuffed to a couple
of deputies.
Deputies? Why?
Because the sheriff wanted
to talk about a murder,
and I'm pretty sure
I know who did it.
You didn't tell him
anything, did you?
I didn't have time to,
'cause Madison has pals killed
everyone before I could.
I'm pretty sure
his secret's out.
Did you find a hider
in the barn?
Hider? There was a woman
under a truck.
Can we talk about
this downstairs?
I really need to
check on Jody right--
You listen to me, right here!
You caused some kind
of racket around here.
You're goddamn lucky you
ain't dead now, or worse.
So if I got a few questions,
you quietin' down
until I'm good and ready
to bring you downstairs.
Now you tell me about the barn.
There was a woman
under a truck.
She reached out to me
and I took her hand
and there pulled her out.
She burned.
To be honest with you,
she was relieved.
Now, we ain't here to assist
in suicide, boy.
The next time you find one,
you treat it like you just
walked up on a rattlesnake.
And back away, nice and easy,
no matter what they say.
You got it?
Ironic, isn't it?
Them wanting to be dead.
What's ironic is that woman...

So whose van is that?
It doesn't really matter.
Can't use it anyways.

How the hell
are you getting outta here?
There's a truck in the barn.
Probably gonna try
to use that one.
You know there ain't anything's
gonna stop us, ain't that right?
Besides, it's you we have
