Please.

I'll start.

There will be consequences."

You're early.

Seven. Okay, five.

I am surprised that your Mr. Compton

This isn't him. It will be.

I missed you so much.

I'm sure that you had to.

Talbot never harmed you.

And there are consequences, even for Russell Edgington.

It's not a myth, not at all.

He's betrayed you, used you, drawn you into danger.

I don't know if people change, even when they try.

Are you trying to talk me out of it?

Kiss my ass.

So you bitches do your job and shut the fuck up.

Hut!

and he turned me down flat.

We are not finished.

Looks like Sam had one too many.

Andy Bellefleur, American hero.

I'm sick of you. All right? It's over now.

and I thought, "I am done with this shit."

Okay, she's here.

You need to follow the directions exactly.

I never thought of God as a woman.

Sip it or shoot it?

a drug abuser and a cheater.

especially to hand me a scholarship.

Lafayette. Lafayette.

You had Tommy before you ripped him a new asshole.

But you still burn.

The truth about what you are,

I would say, "Told you."

Anyone ever told you that?

You're the most special person I ever met.

They're monsters,

All right.

Well, you're safe with me.

Okay, everybody, everybody just... You can relax.

Tommy, it's not respect

Okay. I was thinking, if we can connect the V

Fifteen years ago

Did anybody follow you? What?

Please. If he is, I have to protect him.

HUNTER: No! No! No!

[LAUGHING] Oh, that's a good one. A raise?

but coming here was, uh, the best part of my day.

She's alive. I swear to you, I would never harm her.

Leaner scapegoat.

This is my place. I've been coming here for years.

I'm just so thankful you chose to come back with me.

Shut up, brain. Stop thinking. She's gonna find out.

But I got here. I got here.

Maybe it's stupid to trust someone that much.

I may not have cheated, but I wanted to.

And some whiskey?

You have a name yet?

Felton.

...I'll drive you anyplace you say.

Russell and his wolves will come back for you at any time.

Thank you so much.

I shouldn't have asked.

There's a fine line between feisty and delusional.

My turn.

Oh. Don't make me force it out of you.

I am suffering now.

I would've liked to have seen you smile

You haven't even noticed that I've shaved.

Taste me, drink me, feed on me.

Let me go!

May I call you Eric? Certainly.

and I will freely admit that I despise them.

How humans used to smell?

That's my girl. Tonantzin.

Yeah.

Goddamn it. Oh, splendid.

And not be with you when the life flows out of you?

Oh, fuck. This is for Louie, fanger.

that's designed to capitalize on fear and misinformation.

Fair enough, long as it's today.

Yeah, but maybe with Sam's help...

Who the hell are you?

I know what over easy mean, goddamn it.

I heard about some raids over in Union Parish recently,

Not yet, but I'm gonna be one real soon.

Well, that's great.

Not since my daddy So you been here joined AA.

No. Yeah.

You have no idea how much you've hurt me.

There's only you.

I have a theory, Bill. Do you know what I think?

Hey, Andy.

You drove all this way and waited all day

I don't want you coming in here running the table,

You don't understand, and I can't explain.

There is no forever for us.

We figured, since you hung up your hat for good,

What's your name? Tammy.

Yeah, that's right. You heard me.

Wow.

How long did you work for Sophie Anne?

and I believe it is at her behest.

Calm down.

Oh, excuse me. Sorry.

What do you say? You feel me?

I was just on my way home

How does that sound, Lafayette?

There ain't nothing pleasant about being bitten and tied up.

but clearly, you lack the necessary artistry.

This is blasphemy.

You're gonna make me a cop,

Oh. Shit.

No. No, no, no, not you.

I mean, fuck, yeah!

Two days, Mr. Northman, or she dies.

Babies, they're all the same.

Everybody knows that.

I'm frying!

Loved ones. Well, you're here.

And once you've heard my proposal,

pump me full of drugs, and force me to tell them what happened.

First I'm gonna get some food in you.

Hoyt, you can't keep showing up, leaving stuff at my door.

I don't know. I don't remember half of it.

We met before?

Morning, Sook.

Or a wolf.

But you were hunting the Nazi werewolves?
