"EVERYBODY DOWN!" Maria shouts

Maria ran towards her sister and blocked her. Luke presses the button and the bomb exploded. Bill runs in the house. Sookie is on the floor, Maria is on her. Maria has bullets on her stomach. Eric gets up.

"Get the humans." Eric said

Eric picked up Maria and carries her. He gently put her down on a table. He bites his own wrist and let her drink his blood.

"Thank you." Maria said

Maria is sleeping. Eric kissed her on the head. Jason was alive.

"Who's dead?" Godric asked Isabel

"Stan, Paolo, Catherine, two human companions." Isabel said

Bill arrives.

"Everyone, please!" Isabel said

"HEY. (Jason got everyone elses attention.) Y'ALL LISTEN UP!" Jason shouts

"They may come back. Go to the Hotel Carmilla, they've been alerted, security is in place." Godric said


Sunday.

Hotel Carmilla

Eric's room.

Maria is having a dream about Eric. She sees blood on her white dress.

"This isn't real." Maria said

Maria was getting drained by Eric. She screamed. She wakes up and gasps.

"It's ok." Eric said

"Bad dream." Maria said


Conference room.

"Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made? And who fucking has to clean that shit up? Me. Not you, me. Bringing a weretiger into this. I should drain every one of you bastards." Nan said

"Stan went after the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it." Eric said

"Oh, really. Because everyone who met Stan in the last 300 years knew he had a kink about slaughtering humans. But you, his nest mates, his sheriff, had no clue." Nan said

"And how were we supposed to know that this time he meant it?" Isabel asked in confusion

"Not my problem. (Nan looked at Godric.) Yours." Godric said

"Don't talk to him that way." Eric said

"Don't talk to me that way. Let's get to the point. How did they manage to abduct you?" Nan asked Godric

"They would have taken one of us sooner or later. I offered myself." Godric said

"Why?" Nan asked Godric in confusion

"Why not?" Godric asked Nan

"They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?" Nan asked Godric

"What do you think?" Godric asked Nan

"I think you're out of your mind. And then I hear about a traitor." Nan said

"Irrelevant. Only a rumor, I'll take full responsibility." Godric said

"You bet you will." Nan said

"You cold bitch." Eric said

"Listen, this is a national vampire disaster and nobody at the top has any sympathy for any of you. Sheriff, you fucked up. You're fired." Nan said

"I agree. Of course, Isabel should take over. She had no part in my disgrace." Godric said

"Godric, fight back." Isabel said

"What are you saying? She's a bureaucrat, you don't have to take shit from her." Eric said

"You wanna lose your area, Viking?" Nan asked Eric

"You don't have that kind of power." Eric said

"Hey, I'm on TV. Try me." Nan said

"I'm to blame. I should have contained Stan the second Godric went missing." Isabel said

"Isabel. I remove myself from all positions of authority." Godric said

"Works for me." Nan said

Maria stepped in.

"I owe him, Ms Flanagan. Not just me but also my sister. Godric saved us from a man who wanted to kill us." Maria said

"Why should I listen to a weretiger?" Nan asked in confusion

"Some humans aren't the only ones that cares about vampires. A vampire saved my life a long time ago. But this isn't about me." Maria said

Sookie stepped up.

"He rescued humans in that church plus a whole lot of vampires. You think it's a PR mess now, it could have been a hundred, a million times worse." Sookie said

"Exactly. You should thank him." Maria said

"For getting kidnapped? For attracting a suicide bomber? For piss-poor judgment? I think not." Nan said

Eric is up. Maria and Isabel stopped him.

"Don't." Isabel said

"Eric, it doesn't matter." Godric said

"Tell me about the bombing, please. Every single detail." Nan said

"A boy walked in the lair. I thought he was someone's human companion." Godric said

"What a fucking fiasco. You're lucky I don't send you all to the Magister. Godric, come to my suite to fill out the forms." Nan said

"Soon. First I have something to say. I'm sorry. I apologize for all the harm I've caused, for all our lost ones, human and vampire. I will make amends, I swear it." Godric said

"Take it easy, it's just a few signatures." Nan said

Nan and two other vampires leave.

"No." Eric said

"Look in my heart." Godric said

"You have to listen to me." Eric said

"There's nothing to say." Godric said

"There is." Eric said

"On the roof." Godric said

Godric leaves. Eric looked at Maria.

"Go. I'll be up there in 30." Maria said

Eric nods and he walked away.

"Are you ok?" Sookie asked her sister

"I'm not. I'm worried about Eric and Godric." Maria said

"Godric is not your concern." Bill said

"Actually when Eric is around. It is my concern. I thanked Godric. Right now he's in pain, he's suffering. I'm gonna be there for both of them. I know you're like them. But you have no say in this." Maria said

"What can you do for Godric?" Bill asked Maria

"To be there for him." Maria said


On the roof.

Maria walked up.

"Two thousand years is enough." Godric said

"I can't accept this, it's insanity.) Eric said

"Our existence is insanity. We don't belong here." Godric said

"But we are here." Eric said

"It's not right. We're not right." Godric said

"You thought me there is no right or wrong, only survival or death." Eric said

"I told a lie, as it turns out." Godric said

"I will keep you alive by force." Eric said

"Even if you could, why would you be so cruel?" Godric asked Eric

Eric speaking a swedish language.

"Godric, gör det inte. (Godric, don't do it.)" Eric said

Godric speaking a swedish language.

"Det finns århundraden av tro och kärlek mellan oss. (There are centuries of faith and love between us.)" Godric said

Eric is crying in bloody tears.

"Snälla du. Snälla du. Snälla du. Godric. (Please. Please. Please. Godric.)" Eric said

"Far. Bror. Son. (Father. Brother. Son.) (Godric speaking English again.) Let me go. As your Maker I command you." Godric said

Eric leaves but Maria stopped him.

"I'll stay with him. As long as it takes." Maria said

Eric leaves.

"It won't take long. Not at my age." Godric said

"It was stupid for what you've done. Idiotic. Fellowship oh the Sun." Maria said

"I know. I thought it might fix everything somehow. But I don't think like a vampire anymore." Godric said

"I don't think like a weretiger. I still think like a human." Maria said

"Do you believe in God?" Godric asked Maria

"Always. He's always there for us." Maria said

"If you're right, how will he punish me?" Godric asked Maria

"God doesn't punish, he forgives." Maria said

"I don't deserve it. But I hope for it." Godric said

"We all do." Maria said

"You really do love him?" Godric asked Maria

"Yes I do. He's got his good and bad qualities." Maria said

"I can take the blame for his bad qualities." Godric said

"Are you very afraid?" Maria asked Godric

"No. No, I'm full of joy." Godric said

"Are you sure you want this?" Maria asked Godric

"I want to burn." Godric said

Maria shed a tear.

"I'm afraid for you. Eric's second father that I've met. His vampire father. Like his friend. Like his brother." Maria said

"A girl in her human form with me at the end, and human tears. (Maria walked towards Godric and hugged him. They stopped hugging.) Two thousand years, and I can still be surprised. In this, I see God. Take care of him." Godric said

"I will. Goodbye, Godric." Maria said

Godric burns. He's gone.
