Mick and Leni get to the motel.
And enter the room.
Mick ain't doing to good.
Leni thinks maybe Mick should lie down. He tells her to go get ice. A lot of it. She leaves and he enters the bathroom, runs cold water in the tub and gets in.
Leni gets lucky. There is an ice machine and it works! Boy is she relieved.
She exchanges her small bucket for a larger one and schleps it into their room. That scene always makes me wonder if she should be carrying that heavy load being pregnant and all. Oh well. Mick indicates she should poor the ice on him.
He pulls the ice to himself.
Leni is really worried. She feels his face and he's burning up. She knows it's not just dehydration - something is seriously wrong.
She thinks he should go to the hospital. Mick says no hospitals and asks her to keep trying the phone and to call the number he gave her. Ask for Beth, only Beth.
Leni asks if Beth is his girlfriend. Mick says no, it's complicated.
Leni asks if there is anything else she can do. Mick is thinking 'oh yeah' and zeroes in on her neck.
But he tells her to go.
Leni leaves the room and calls Beth. Just like with the ice machine, Leni gets lucky. Beth picks up. Beth wants to know if Mick is okay. And she's on her way.
Leni goes in to tell Mick she got a hold of Beth. Mick's in a stupor.
Leni leans over him to get his attention.
Mick imagines himself biting her.
Mick yells at Leni to get out.
Leni leaves. Mick is worried.
Mick imagines Beth there in the bathroom with him.
And biting her.
His VO asks, what would happen if you put a vampire in the desert. The answer? Maybe no more vampire.
