The Breed Page #4

The way he dressed and talked.

He always wanted to be a movie star,

but never made it.

Aaron said he was attached

to his human side.

Always visiting his mother's grave,

his old neighbourhood, his sister.

In disguise, watching the

people he knew grow old and die.

He was a very lonely man.

Son of a b*tch!

His sister. Different last name.

Do you know her married name?

Yeah.

Solerno, Mary. She lives upstate.

If you found this rogue,

this killer...

...would it really make a difference?

Would it convince your leaders

to accept us?

If it doesn't, I will.

Fusco's sister owns a theatre

in the town they grew up in.

Lucy said she lives upstate.

We can check it out on the way.

Do you think this is a good idea?

Oh, come on, man!

I'm only human.

You go in and I'll circle around.

Are you kidding? He's a vampire.

No offense.

Okay, but he'll smell whoever

goes in first.

- If it's me, he may run.

- So?

Hopefully, he'll think

you're a homeless person.

Hopefully.

Hopefully.

Grim-visag'd war

hath smooth'd his wrinkled front.

See, see, where Christ's blood

streams in the firmament!

One drop would save me.

I must always walk alone.

And yet always I am followed.

Sound asleep and yet-

And yet I can hear it!

It's me! Pursuing myself.

- Who the hell are you?

- I'm a cop.

We had reports of a

break-in. Who are you?

Oh? I? Oh, my dear boy,

I am an actor.

I can be anyone I wish to be.

Well, you got any I.D.?

A driver's license?

Maybe an Academy Award?

I never leave home without it.

I know why you're here.

You're an errand boy sent by

shopkeepers to collect the bill.

I hear your heart beat faster

when you lie.

So, one more time.

Who the hell are you?

Take it easy.

Drop it!

Look what you're doing to my shirt!

Sit down! Sit down!

We can do this one of two ways.

- My way, or my way.

- Relax.

We want to know who you're

hiding from. Is it West?

West!

West is only part of it.

It goes much deeper than that.

You wouldn't believe

who's involved in this-!

Just start from the beginning.

You know, Aaron, not everybody

was wild about this...

...coming-out-of-the-closet routine.

Things were tense.

This made it worse.

You should have thought of that!

All right. All right.

Orlock heard West was back...

...and into something.

Smuggling? We didn't know.

We presumed weapons.

But West was still spouting

the same old revolutionary poop.

Would you just stick to the point?

We were supposed to find out more.

Orlock was supposed to tell Cross.

I guess he never got the chance.

He phoned me. He was scared.

He wouldn't talk on the phone.

He said we were in danger.

He told me to leave town...

...and he'd contact me.

- He's dead.

- He never did!

Why would Orlock meet with

West if he was afraid?

Maybe he wanted to cut the deal.

Yes, it's true. Orlock wasn't

the toughest guy in the world.

Being on the run was hard on him.

- Something's missing.

- You dug into West's operation.

Did you find anything?

Something about a shipment

coming in on the 20th.

Tomorrow?

Weapons smuggling.

With the money involved,

West can't pull this off alone.

Then somebody else

had to be involved. Who?

Somebody I thought I knew.

Come on. Come on, man.

Lucy. Lucy Westenra.

You're lying.

I'd know if he was.

It's all right.

We don't know the whole story.

You said it yourself.

- When is this going down?

- I don't know.

I don't even know how.

- Planes, trucks-

- It makes perfect sense!

She sends me

on a wild goose chase upstate...

...so I'm not around

for the shipment.

She distracted me

so West could escape.

She also saved your life.

She used me.

Why are you defending her?

- I'm not.

- Damn it!

I can't believe

she's involved in this.

If you report this,

they'll assume the worst.

- Why shouldn't they?

- We're trying to prevent war. Please!

Not until we've had the chance

to check it out.

"Albert P." isn't a person.

It stands for Albert Pier.

- I came to the same conclusion.

- We'll check it out.

If it's more than we can handle,

I'm calling it in.

Fair enough.

Grant's here right now.

I'll get back to you.

That's your official recommendation?

Hold off?

What's that supposed to mean?

Just what it says.

This looks more complicated

than just plain murder.

It's political.

They're fighting among themselves.

We don't have time for

conspiracy theories.

I agree with Mr. Grant.

If this is manipulation,

I want to know.

I thought we agreed.

You've got to let me get

to the bottom of this.

If you brought me in because you

wanted a stooge, you made a mistake.

What is the rush, Seward?

The virus can reach them anywhere.

Same thing as before? I'll go in

the side and you circle around.

As you wish.

- This place stinks.

- That's good.

It'll cover your approach.

Agent Grant. Get me Kellman.

Don't move unless I say.

Seward's SWAT team's a bunch

of trigger-happy f***ers.

- Where are you?

- Albert Pier, number 52.

We'll be waiting.

Special forces are in position.

The ship will be here

in a few minutes.

Any questions?

I got a question for you.

How f***ing stupid do you think I am?

Back off, f***er!

You don't understand.

I wanted to tell you.

I couldn't risk it.

I understand perfectly. You used me.

Get Seward. We're moving in.

Where's Grant?

Put the gun down.

I should have known

you were involved in this.

Don't be an idiot, Steven,

open your eyes.

Look! Fusco misled us.

It's not weapons.

People are being smuggled out.

Can't you see? My people are afraid.

Weapons? Is that what you thought?

You wouldn't let me tell him.

Look what almost happened.

Seward, you motherf***er!

I didn't give the word!

You betrayed us!

Traitor!

I've been waiting for this...

...for centuries.

- Tell them to cease fire!

Get off!

Mama!

Save the kid!

Take him!

I'm going after his parents.

Move, move, move!

Hold your fire!

No, you're wounded.

It's nothing.

- No, my blood.

- I don't care!

What's going on?

- How is she?

- Stable.

The transfusion from Aaron helped.

She's not getting any worse.

But she isn't getting any better?

She's in a coma. But understand...

...our physiology is different

from yours.

The body goes

into a coma-like state...

...when it's severely damaged...

...as it attempts to heal itself.

She will fully recover.

What are her chances?

Twenty-five percent.

I have to get back to Serenity.

Half of my people are going

into hiding...

...the other half are arming

themselves.

It will take a lot of work

to clean up the mess you've made.

Is that her blood?

My God.

You could be infected.

You should check in here yourself.

And if I'm infected?

You'll transform...

...within three days.

Is there any way to stop it?

No.

What's the point of checking in?

There has to be some mistake.

You couldn't have shot my men!

Tell me I'm wrong, go ahead!

Tell me, goddamn it!

Your men weren't even scratched.

I shot at their body armour.

The only reason I didn't shoot them
