- Theo: When will I see you again? - When it's safe.
NARRATOR: Previously on "Red Ruby"...
Give me the blood.
- You're too weak to do anything. - ( hisses )
Haven't you heard? It's dangerous to wander 'round here alone.
- You really didn't see anything? - Flora!
- Ian: Is this the Climates Club? - Depends who's asking.
- We're just two concerned citizens. - ( screams )
You and your dumb family think that you're perfect,
and one of these days, you're gonna get what's coming for you.
( music playing )
( Ruby whooshes ) Theo, are you awake?
Ruby? What are you doing here?
I'm not feeling so hot.
Well, you are a vampire, so...
( sniffles )
( sighs ) Hey, hey, come on.
I'm just joking around. What's going on?
When we were underground, Claudia used to feed us.
But now it's been three days and I haven't eaten.
What are you saying?
I just need somewhere to sleep,
and then I'll figure it out in the morning.
( sighs ) Okay.
The closet.
Okay.
Ruby, hey.
( sighs )

Maya: Theo, school!
Theo, I'm coming in. ( knocks )
Why aren't you showered yet?
You're gonna miss first period.
( sighs ) I can't go to school today. I'm sick.
Like flu sick or like I got a C+ and I'm embarrassed sick?
My throat hurts, my stomach aches.
My head is just pounding.
Just this once, I'm gonna let you play hooky
because, honestly, I am too tired to fight you on it.
And it's too bad because I was gonna make your favorite tonight for dinner.
Ribeye?
I thought your stomach hurt.
( groans ) Oh, it does. Ow, ow!
( whispers ) Hey, Ruby.
You alive?
I mean, like, less dead than usual?
- ( hisses ) - ( gasps )
- Oh, sorry. - Oh, my God.
When we get like this, it's hard to stay in control.
Just tell me what to do, okay? I'm staying home from school.
My hero.
Hey, come on, don't make fun like that.
I'm not. You're sweet.
( sighs )
Ruby, you have to let me help you.
I could go trick someone from school.
Actually, come to think of it,
there's a lot of people I wouldn't mind you biting.
Don't joke like that.
I can't bite anyone else.
I'm not a monster.
Of course you're not. I didn't mean it like that.
You don't get it.
I'm just as old as your mom,
but I still feel like a teenage girl inside.
I am all mixed up. I get sad and lost
and then I turn into a beast with fangs.
An animal.
Ruby.
You okay?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
All right, well, I'll tell you what.
We'll check it out, Mo.
I gotta call you back.
What is it, Mike? Is there news?
Have a seat.
What is this? Where'd you get this?
It came through the office earlier this week.
- Why didn't you tell me? - Because we couldn't corroborate it.
Damn it, Mike, if there's something you know, you need to tell me.
Calm down.
And then this came through late last night.
"Getting warmer."
Ugh, what does that mean?
Well, at first glance, it could be an attack on you,
on the drilling.
But it could also be about the investigation,
that we're getting closer to finding Annabele.
You have to give me more here, Mike.
I can't give you everything, Kirk, it's an open--
This is my daughter you're talking about.
Who wrote these things? Do you have any leads?
We were canvassing up on Hazel Drive the other night, knockin' on a few doors,
and one of 'em was that old lady Claudia's house.
Only her boyfriend was home.
He's an odd guy, you know? Kinda lost behind the eyes.
Her house is right on the drilling site.
She's been pestering my men, making trouble for them.
You think she's behind this?
Honestly, I don't.
I think it's a bunch of kids
trying to keep the planet safe for the next generation.
You think these punks from the protest are behind this.
We just don't know yet.
( sighs )
I'm losing patience, Mike.
You said the house is on Hazel Drive?
Yeah, that is what I said, but don't--
Hey, Kirk! Don't do anything you're gonna regret.
( music playing )
You.
- You're in that hippie club, aren't you? - Me?
Was there another dweeb standing in front of me?
I-I'm in the Climates, but I don't have any problem with fracking.
- I'm only doing it for-- - Shut up! Where's Flora?
She left yesterday with two kids I didn't know.
I mean, I don't even think they went to our school.
Did I ask you about yesterday
or did I ask you about today?
I haven't seen her, I swear.
Give me your phone number.
- Come on. - Okay, okay.
Um, oh, okay.
- I'm keeping this. - All right.
- Yeah. - Okay.
( muffled yelling )
Does she ever shut up?
( yelling continues )
Not since yesterday.
What?
What's wrong with you people?
People.
Don't insult us like that.
How could you do that to him?
He's old.
Should we try something a little...
younger?
( gasps )
That's what we thought.
( cell phone buzzing )
I believe that's her...
whatchamacalit?
Cell phone?
See who it is.
Charlie: Where are you, Flora?
Look, it's Charlie Van Der Hoek. We need to talk.
Hi, Charlie. This is Flora's friend Amber.
Who? Are you working with her?
Something like that.
We're all hanging here over at Junior's.
Why don't you come join us for a cup of coffee?
What are you gonna do to him?
I think question time is over.
( muffled yelling resumes )
( music playing )
( sighs )
Come on, Ruby, you have to eat.
You don't understand how it tastes, Theo.
Sure, I do. It's prime grade beef.
Ooh. ( coughs )
I'm sorry.
I know you're just trying to help.
Well, do you feel any better?
It's waking me up a little bit.
You know, you don't have to do any of this.
Maybe I should just go back to the Others.
It's just...
I don't want to be like them.
Before this, we were just kids.
We did normal high school stuff.
We had crushes and we went to concerts
and we snuck out at night to go to the race tracks.
And then we got trapped.
Not just in the caves, but in our own bodies.
We were down there for so long with no friends or family
or anyone who actually cared.
No one's asked me how my day was for 25 years.
I don't know. Something just switched.
We just stopped being human beings.
No, you didn't.
You're just like me.
Once we can find a way to get you blood,
I'll tell my mom that you're here and you can live with us.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Promise.
You don't get it, Theo.
Say I lived here and we started going to Junior's together.
And we started going to the movies
and you asked me out to prom.
And then you'd go off to college, get a job,
and you'd have kids and a wife
and I'll still be here.
I'll still be the same.
The very same.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I just need some rest.

Flora, I know you're in here.
( Flora shouting, muffled )
There you are, Baxter.
Yeah, I found my sister's glasses in your bag.
And did you think I wouldn't find you?
What do you have to say for yourself?
Answer me, Flora!
( scoffs )
( gasps ) Charlie, I'm sorry. It's a trap.
Hey, get your hands off of me!
Do you know who my father is?
"Do you know who my father is?"
Look, I don't know who you people are,
but what did you do with my sister?
I don't know about you, Amber,
but I'm growing tired of hearing about this...
what's she called?
Annabelle.
Look, just tell me where she is and I won't hurt you.
For 25 years, we've been waiting.
Now, we're not asking for anything unreasonable,
just to be left alone to enjoy the simple things in life.
You, my friend,
are making things complicated for us.
And first you're gonna give me those glasses.
And then you're gonna turn your head ever so gently to the side
while my friend Amber takes a little bite.
( flesh squelching )
Maya?
Hey.
I didn't know vampires could dream.
Was I talking in my sleep?
I'm sorry.
Eh, just a little. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling a little better, but not great.
You know, ever since my dad left,
I've had this feeling like I don't know what happened next.
You know, like, anything could happen at any minute.
It'll be just like you said, you know.
You'll go one way and I'll go another.
Okay? But we all grow up.
Maybe it will be a little bit different for you than it will be for me.
But we can't predict the future.
I think the only thing that we can focus on right now
is making you better.
And, you know, I already know the answer to this question,
but I just wanted to ask anyways.
How was your day?
This has been the best day I can remember.
Ruby.
I want you to.
No.
- I can't. - I'll be fine.
I promise.
( groans )
Kirk: What are you up to?
( growling )
( gasps ) What the hell?
( evil laughter )
Ruby: Next on "Red Ruby"...
- ( gasps ) - What took you so long?
Claudia: You're buried beneath 100 foot of sandstone.
But I can't get you out.
