Let's go!
Get him in, get him in!
I should get that.
- Should I press pause? - No.
Bianca.
Harry.
Now's not a good time.
I have a very big problem.
That's next door.
We're small to medium problems here.
I wouldn't be here if I had any other place to go.
Harry, you're gonna miss the ending!
Won't you invite me in?
Please?
Come in.
Laura, you don't have to go.
I know.
I've got the early shift tomorrow, so it's fine.
Whoa, please, it won't take long.
I promise.
No, Harry,
I don't think I know you, not like I want to.
What?
Whenever you decide that you really want to be my friend
instead of, you know,
what we are, you let me know.
Laura, Laura, I'll call you tomorrow okay.
It was nice to meet you.
She gave you the cheek.
That's not so good.
What do you want?
Would you mind turning that thing around,
make it face the wall, please?
Happy now?
Thank you.
Harry, I want to hire you.
Forget it.
Oh, I don't forget anything.
Remember what I did for you?
It's payback time.
The dresden files 1x05 - bad blood.
Chicago.
When the winds blow they stir up all kinds of refuse;
Old newspapers, wrappers from last weeks lunch, lost souls.
It's like the winds are the city's memories.
When they blow, they blow from every direction,
including the past.
Hey.
Do you know who that was?
No.
Who was it?
That was Harry dresden.
Hi.
You look like you could use some help.
Leave me alone.
My name's Bianca.
I don't care who you are.
Jake grab his arm.
Someone took a shot at you?
What are we talking about here; A shot in the dark,
or organized crime hit?
No, this was organized.
Okay, it could be someone settling a score or someone
working off the reservation...
That would almost be a relief.
And what wouldn't be?
If this was sanctioned by the high council.
Do you think it was?
I don't know Harry, that's why I'm here.
Okay, listen.
You know what my problem is?
I don't trust you, so when you come to me asking for help
my natural inclination is to run the other way.
Dresden...
And what do you need me for?
You could go the high council, you got treaties.
Unless they've been broken and I don't know it.
Look, I just need you to be my emissary.
Go to the council, talk to them,
find out if someone there
is gunning for me and if so, why.
What, so you know who to kill?
No Harry.
So I can make it right.
So you want me to go accusing them of trying to kill you
on your say so.
You want evidence, come to my club.
Harry?
What are you doing?
She's got an eye witness.
Oh that'll be fun.
You know this is a bad idea.
She needs help.
So did the scorpion when he asked the frog to carry him
across the river, and we all know how that turned out.
It'll be fine Bob.
You don't believe that.
How do you know what I'm thinking?
Are you inside my head?
Oh I would take a peek
but I think it's pretty clear
that narcissism and bad judgment are blocking the door.
I'm taking the case, so that's that.
She will kill you.
No she won't.
You can't be sure.
She had that chance five years ago
and she didn't take it.
I doubt if she will now.
Hello Harry.
Where am I?
You're at my place.
I gotta go.
Easy.
So dresden why don't you tell me what happened to you?
It's okay, I'm good with secrets.
How do you know me?
You've got quite the reputation.
It's Morgan, he's downstairs.
Thanks.
I'll be right down Jake.
Like I said, I'm good with secrets.
If it isn't ancient mai's favorite leg breaker.
I'm looking for Harry dresden.
What'd he do?
Justin morningway was murdered.
Dresden's uncle.
With black magic.
What's that got to do with me?
Dresden is running.
If he comes here looking for safe passage
or some form of protection...
Why are you so sure it's dresden?
You contact me if dresden makes an appearance.
Of course.
You counting the notches?
You must be Natalie?
Pleased to meet you Mr. Wizard.
Hey, you're too young to rember that show.
I'm 57.
Of course.
So what happened to Jake?
Well Jake had his own view of the future; He wanted to
pursue his own interests which didn't interest me.
Yeah.
Bianca said you're gonna find whoever tried to kill her.
I'm going to try.
Have you got the uh...
Thank you.
So this belonged to your bodyguard.
He saw everything.
Excuse me.
Black ski masks, military armour...
Yeah, it's clive.
Who's clive?
Clive is a contract killer for the high council and he
takes care of people like you and others like you.
I thought he retired.
I guess not.
It doesn't matter.
We know who he is, so now we kill him.
Easy tiger; This guy's a nasty piece of work
and he's impossible to find unless he wants to be found.
Can you use this?
Where'd you get it?
Out of my bodyguard.
That's useless, masks everything,
impossible to trace.
But it is clive, which means that the high council
is involved.
You don't know it's the high council.
It looks like the high council but don't be rash.
Talk to Morgan, he'll know what's going on.
Morgan's the high council's chief warden for Chicago;
A job with considerable responsibilities
and some nice perks.
He has to meet every week with his lieutenants,
but he does it at a fancy, private dining club;
Not my kind of place, too many forks.
We've got to stop Darius before this next shipment
of 3rd eye hits the streets.
Morgan.
There's no room for error and no leeway, so...
Excuse me.
Eavesdropping on a meeting with the wardens.
I should have you
well, I didn't see
a 'do not disturb' sign on the door.
So, third eye.
What's that, clairvoyance?
A bit of a council no-no,
huh, looking into people's heads.
Why are you here?
I was just wondering if the council is still doing
business with clive.
Why are you asking?
Because there was just an attempted hit on Bianca, okay.
You're working for Bianca...
You're becoming a poster boy for bad judgment.
You let me worry about that.
We have a truce with the red court.
Clive hasn't been sanctioned for any wet work;
Now get out of here and let me get back to my dessert.
People think that being an investigator
is glamorous work; It's not.
Three hours, pounding the pavement,
putting out the word I'm looking for clive,
talking to two-faced Johnny,
Eddie the nose, no Christmas curt.
Dealing with guys who have nicknames like that,
well it always ends up biting you in the...
I don't like it
when someone accuses me of something I didn't do.
Clive?
Why were you asking about me?
I wanted to know if you tried to kill Bianca.
Did I?
Well it looks that way.
If I tried to kill Bianca, she'd be dead.
Well someone tried to kill Bianca, and someone tried
to make it look like you.
Does that not bother you?
Vampire hunting is a young man's game.
My time is passed.
So no, I don't kill vampires anymore.
Okay, so you're retired.
I have grandchildren.
I eat dinner at 4:00 pm.
You brought them here!
You brought me here, you idiot!
Put him in the back!
Oh no.
Clive.
Who did this?
It's my granddaughter's birthd...
Why'd you do it?
What exactly are you accusing me of doing Harry?
Killing clive.
What?
Don't act surprised.
You wanted him dead,
and now a vampire's ripped his throat out.
Who did it, you or her?
Neither of us Harry.
Why should I believe you?
Because Natalie spent the last few hours with me.
And a few other people.
You could check with them if you'd like.
So what are you gonna do dresden, huh?
You gonna kill me, after all we've been through?
Well after my mother died there was just me and my dad
and we traveled around a lot.
He was a magician.
The astounding dresden!
I heard your uncle talk about him once.
Yeah, I was always complaing; Crappy motels,
constantly moving.
You were a child.
That's what children do - they complain.
Maybe there's just some genetic defect in my family,
lack of ability to appreciate love and life.
My mother couldn't always accept the way things were.
She always had to change the world,
and that got her killed.
My uncle...
Your uncle was an ambitious man.
My family has screwed up and I'm screwed up
and someone should just wipe us out.
I'm sorry.
I'm not a monster Harry.
I didn't say you were.
I didn't choose this life.
I was just life everybody else;
I had goals, I had dreams,
I had friends and I had family.
They were taken from me.
You and I, we're orphans of the world.
Everything that we've ever cared about
and everyone that we've ever loved is gone.
You didn't kill her?
No I didn't kill her.
You will regret it.
You love this don't you?
What?
Me saying you're right.
Oh, very much
and one can never really hear it enough.
God, I am such an idiot.
No argument here.
She used me!
That bitch...
I lead her to clive, she kills clive.
The guy didn't even do anything.
How I loathe her.
Good luck.
Hey guys.
What, are having dinner tonight?
Ancient mai,
that's a new look.
You've made me unhappy dresden.
Bad for me.
Worse for you.
Ancient mai,
the high council's top dog,
she only comes out to play when there's blood on the ground.
Hopefully not my blood.
Where is she?
Who?
Bianca.
How should I know.
She's not at her club.
Are you hiding her?
No, I'm not hiding her.
Did you lead Bianca to clive's?
Clive led Bianca to clive's.
His guys grabbed me, she followed them, okay.
Oh, what was that for?
I didn't know I needed reason.
Did Bianca tell you anything else?
About what?
Okay, okay, look, I have no reason to protect Bianca,
all right, and I am more than happy to help.
Now please, just give me a clue or something, please,
what's going on?
Did she ever mention 3rd eye?
Answer the question.
No, she never mentioned 3rd eye.
What is it?
If you see her, use these.
When they lock,
I'll know and I'll be there.
That was revealing.
Bianca?
Are you trying to get me killed?
Harry please.
I'm being set up.
Really?
Do you believe me?
I don't know what to believe.
I mean this guy clive was retired, he shouldn't have
even been on high council's radar.
Within two hours of being dead they're all over it.
That's pretty fast.
So you do think that the high council is involved?
What are we going to do?
We?
Yes, you and me.
We are in this together now, aren't we?
What do you know about 3rd eye?
It's a mind altering rage enhancer
made for the undead by the undead.
Why?
Morgan and mai both brought it up.
It was supposed to help us fight people like clive.
Unfortunately it's very addictive and very deadly.
And you don't have any connection to it?
It's a degenerate's drug, I won't go near it or anyone
associated with it.
Well it's nice to know you've got limits.
Oh, but you already know that don't you.
Just kill me.
Kill me.
No.
Kill me!
I'm not done with you yet.
What is it about bad girls?
They lie and cheat,
won't suck your blood even when you beg them too.
For some reason,
no matter how badly they treat us,
we still can't walk away.
Wow, nice cleaning job.
Somebody works fast.
So this was clive's hideout?
Hideout - you sound like a 30s gangster's mom.
I was 30s gangster's mom.
I've led a rich and varied life.
Death too.
Okay, the thing about when I stuck
the cross bow in your face,
I'm really sorry about that okay?
I've had worse things stuck in my face.
Uh, I gotta get to work.
Have you ever seen this before?
What does that do?
Captures peak emotional moments.
Oh.
Doesn't always work.
Okay, concentrate. Concentrate, concentrate...
There you go.
Just get a little fine tuning going on.
Harry?
Well, that's not you.
He's black court.
Black court, are you sure?
Trust me, I know a black court vampire when I see one.
I'm red court, we don't get along.
Okay, so what's she doing,
apart from framing you for murder?
Well, we'll have to ask arvin.
Who's arvin?
That is arvin.
- Hey arvin. - Let's go.
Arvin?
You've been a very bad boy.
Nice place.
Black court; They're animals.
This, this is clive's.
Or made to look like clive's.
Somebody wanted me to think that clive made a run at me.
Why?
Well, so that you would go after him, you would kill him
and the high council would be all over you.
But I didn't do that.
So somebody else did it for you.
It's got a setup Bianca.
As usual I'm in the middle of the whole thing.
Arvin!
The 3rd eye's got him.
Should probably stay back.
Hi arvin,
do you rember me?
You've been giving me a bad name.
Be careful, you don't want to bump something.
So tell me arvin, what's the plan?
Who wants me dead, huh?
I don't know,
didn't see a face;
Just told me where to go and what to do.
3rd eye was mine...
Who are your friends?
Why was they dressed like clive's boys?
I just met him.
Give me their names.
We didn't use names.
Okay then.
Nighty, night.
Jee...
Wow.
You know it's funny,
I always think they're going to go up in flames...
Hollywood.
Just one thing,
you could have cleared your name with mai.
The 3rd eye junkie, I don't think so.
Yeah, good point.
So, what's next?
Okay, what's next, we got to be methodical, we got to
narrow down the suspects, we got to make a list
of your enemies.
All I got are enemies.
It's not all you got.
There's something in his hand.
You all right? What's the matter?
It's 3rd eye.
I cut myself.
That's not good.
Don't make me do this please.
You can't hold me here forever.
Bianca you gotta help me here.
It's the 3rd eye.
You gotta get a hold of yourself.
You should have killed her when you had the chance.
Not now Bob.
Have you even considered the consequences here?
Uh, haven't got round to that yet.
Well let me enlighten you.
If they catch you with her, she's dead, you're dead
and I'm homeless.
How do you live with him?
Sometimes I wonder.
Oh, it's no walk in the park for me either darling, ever.
Most days I just walk from here to there and back again.
- Bob, please... - God, I am doomed!
Yes you're doomed, you live in a skull,
now shut up and get in it.
All right, but at least take some precaution.
You can't trust her.
Bob, I can hear you.
Oh, I want you to hear me.
I'll be in the lab if you need me.
Well, he's a little strange.
A little?
I'm sorry...
Okay, let's fix you up.
You know you don't have to do that.
Well, I did it; It's the least I can do.
- Oh yeah. - It is a perk.
Yeah.
Thank you.
For everything?
Where are you going?
I have to take care of something.
Take care of what?
A person who set me up.
You know who it is?
Oh I have a pretty good idea.
Since when?
Since arvin.
Look, this is no longer any of your concern.
This is no longer any of my concern?
I'm stuck in the middle of this thing
because I am trying to help you, okay.
And you're not going anywhere without me.
Okay?
Okay.
- Fine. - Fine.
Good.
So who is it then?
- Well... - Darius?
How in the hell did you know that?
I overheard Morgan talking about him, but who is he?
You've met him actually.
It's Jake.
Darius is his last name.
What do you want?
I've made all the arrangements;
Dresden's passage out of town is waiting for him.
He's got to go.
Are we playing the jealous lover Jake?
Just a disappointed business partner.
We've got plans.
You want to ruin them.
They're your plans.
Don't worry so much.
Do you think you're doing him a favor by helping him?
I don't do favors, I collect debts.
Well do me a favor.
Collect his debt later.
Get him out of town now.
Jake, your ex-boyfriend.
My former business partner.
The ex-boyfriend.
Look Jake wanted to sell 3rd eye out of my club.
I wouldn't go near the stuff so I paid him to go away.
Now he's back.
Well, it looks that way.
And he wants your place.
So he set you up to get you out of the way,
or better still let the high council do it.
It's a pretty good plan.
Think he'd want to meet with you?
I'm sure he could be persuaded.
Bianca.
Nice rags.
Appearances.
How are you?
I'm very cranky.
Well, you look good.
Thanks.
You remember Harry dresden don't you?
Oh yes, the wizard.
Yeah, the wizard.
You expecting a nuclear attack?
Oh, you know, tensions are little high.
So what's up?
You said you wanted to talk.
Not sure why you chose this place.
Well, I thought it was very poetic;
The place where you killed clive
and now the place where 3rd eye dies.
I killed clive?
Well, technically it was those black court degenerates
that you hired and paid off with 3rd eye, but yes.
Don't mean to bust your bubble Bianca,
but I don't know what you're talking about.
Hey Jake, just so you know.
If anything happens to us today, the high council,
they have all the details.
There is no upside.
My advice is to back out now.
No harm, no foul.
Apart from clive.
Wow. I truly am speechless.
I honestly don't know what to say right now.
Oh come on Jake, I know that you wanted to move 3rd eye
out of my club...
Yes, three years ago.
You said no, I left.
Things worked out.
Yeah, now you're back and you want Chicago.
What I want, dresden, is the Gulf coast.
It's freezing here.
Buy a sweater.
The only reason I'm up here right now is because
I may have a buyer for a shipment of 3rd eye.
Well if that's true, then who is this distributor?
Ahh!
I am.
Don't look so surprised.
I'm just doing what you taught me to do.
Be ruthless.
You were behind everything.
Well, I wasn't going to get run off like Jake here.
For what's it worth Bianca, I had no idea she was a buyer.
Shut up or the next one's in your head.
Why go through all the trouble of setting me up?
Why not just kill me?
You know why.
The high council doesn't approve of power plays.
They have their rules, they have their order,
which I plan on changing.
You're never going to get away with this.
You know what?
I think I will get away with this.
But what you need to do is tell me how you were planning
on letting the council know about Jake.
Now why would I do that?
You're just gonna kill me.
True.
But there are ways to die
and very bad ways to die...
Dresden! He's gone!
This might have been simpler if you just asked for a raise.
I trusted you.
That's because you're a dim witted dinosaur...
Okay... yeah, yeah no. No!
That will do.
Mai, okay, it's not what you think it is.
It's exactly what I think.
The novice wants the master erased.
Yeah.
Red enough for you?
So what shall we drink to?
Escaping the jaws of death.
Whose jaws, Natalie's or ancient mai's?
Yours.
I am sorry about that.
Hm, I guess we do what comes naturally to us.
Well we are who we are.
Together and separately.
A pair of irredeemable creatures
who probably don't deserve to exist,
and yet we do, in spite of our murderous paths.
So we do what we can to make up for the pain that we cause.
What do you do Bianca, to make up for it?
Well, I let you think there's a small chance
that one day you will save me from myself.
That's my gift to you Harry, hope.
All I wanted to do was make us even; All debts erased.
Thank you for helping me Harry,
thank you for being there.
I promise I'll do whatever I can to never bother you again.
You don't bother me.
Don't I frighten you?
You don't frighten me.
That, my dear boy,
is why one day I just might have to rip your throat out.
Thank you for the wine.
You didn't have any.
Oh yes I did.
Take care of yourself Harry.
