Plot
When Detective Mortimer Shade is somehow killed in a freezer, a parasite called a grail possesses his body, revives him, but he needs blood to stay alive. His partner John Dark accepts the new situation and together they become vigilantes, judging and killing the bad guys, with Shade sucking their blood with his claw. However, Dark notes that Shade is losing the rest of his humanity and becoming a monster, being aware and afraid of the danger Shade represents to mankind and trying to stop him.

John Dark: It takes forty minutes to bury a body... longer, if's it's still alive... tougher, if it's your best friend.
John Dark: When you do the job, right, because of the stress... I can see that you get off on it. I'd imagine that maybe the... you know, that nothing else got you off.::Albany: No. I get off on sex.::John Dark: Really?::Albany: I come at the drop of a head.
Superintendent Maddox: As they say in Alabama, they're making me drink monkeymilk!
Superintendent Maddox: Look in my club bag, Dark! Tell me what you see.::John Dark: Some irons, some woods... Jeez... I'm not a golfing man.::Superintendent Maddox: Some irons, some woods. They all hit the ball a little differently. Hard and heavy for the gliding long shot, soft as touch for the delicate putt. You can't play a varied course with one club, Dark! Same with a police force, it takes a range of officers. Some hit heavy, some nudge, and some knock the ball off the mother fucking course! If you're telling me that DCI Shade has on occasion taken events into his own hands to stuff shit back up the devil's anus, I call that hitting heavy when the course demands! Do I make myself absolutely clear, detective sergeant Dark?
Dr. Elgin: Ever had a tinkle in the Indos, mr. Dark? Because it's a very risky buisiness. In the Indos, there's a little fish called the candirú which can swim up a stream of urine. It does this to find it's way into your testicles, because the candirú is a parasite and every parasite has it's chosen... of occupation. Belly. Bowels. Balls. I tell you this in the hope that it will make what follows easier to accept. The candirú is from the natural world, our world. Supernatural means beyond natural. Not beyond what exists, just beyond what we know. It is supernatural only until we witness it, and you have witnessed the grail mr. Dark. Think of a grail as a spectral parasite that needs a very particular kind of host, a human corpse. Vacated by it's valid lifeforce, this fleshy vessel gives the grail all it needs. It enters after death, burroughing into the heart and reanimating the corpse. Digging itself deeper, and deeper, mutating and corrupting the heart into it's own monstrous form, and compelling it's host to seek out the blood of which they must both now live. I once had a fragment of the grail in a specimen jar, taken from the ruptured heart of a kurdistan goat farmer, but it is lost and gone forever, courtesy of British Airways.
Lardeson Dahl: [as Dark is walking away] So, the apology? [Dark stops and Dahl catches up with him] Did you hear me?::John Dark: [Turns around] I'm sorry, you see... that... ehhmm... that was a silent "fuck you". [Walks away]
Dr. Elgin: Detective Sergeant Dark. My name is Dr. Elgin from the CUUC, that's Civilian Unexplained... ehhh... something, something.
Slik were a Scottish pop group of the mid 1970s, most notable for their UK no.1 hit "Forever and Ever" in 1976. Beginning with glam rock and changing their style to soft rock/bubblegum. It was the first band with whom singer and guitarist Midge Ure began to experience musical success, before joining new wave band Ultravox.
Slik were formed as the Glasgow based band 'Salvation' in June 1970, comprising Kevin and Jim McGinlay, Nod Kerr, Mario Tortolano and Ian Kenny. Brian Deniston replaced Ian Kenny in December 1970 and Nod Kerr departed in May 1971, followed by Tortolano and they were replaced by Matt Cairns on drums and Robin Birrel on keyboards. Deniston left shortly after this change and they were forced to continue as a four piece outfit for almost a year. Birrel and Cairns then left and they recruited Kenny Hyslop on drums, Billy McIsaac on keyboards and Jim "Midge" Ure on guitar. They reverted to a four-piece band when Kevin McGinlay left in April 1974 to pursue a solo career.
They changed their name to Slik in November 1974, and linked up with the pop songwriters Bill Martin and Phil Coulter, who were also writing for the Bay City Rollers who were teen favourites at the time. Now signed to Polydor, the band members all adopted pseudonyms - Midge, Oil Slik (Kenny Hyslop), Jim Slik (Jim McGinlay) and Lord Slik (Billy McIsaac). These were dropped after the failure of "Boogiest Band in Town", their debut single (which was also on the soundtrack of the film Never Too Young To Rock), and their suits were exchanged for 1950s style baseball outfits. A change of record label also saw them signing with Bell Records.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na . . .
Hey hey hear what they say. He looks like James Dean
Hey hey their looking my way. You know just what I mean
But I remember how they put me down
When I drifted into town (What'd they say)
He's a bum where'd he come from nobody knows
Yeah the kid's a punk
A no good who never could just look at his clothes
Yeah the kid's a punk
He's a hip shakin' heart breakin' hobo woh you know
The kid's a ptlnk-yeah the kid's a punk
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na . . .
Hey hey now I'm doin' ok
I'm the guy they wanna meet
Hey hey I remember the day they would have run me off the stree
Every father told his daughter
They she outha pass me by (What'd they say)
He's a bum where'd he come from nobody knows . . .
Well
he looks like a loser and he's bound to be
You'd better take it from me
A - - - men. A - - - men.
It's over
we've come to the end now
Over
I'm sorry to see love die.
It's over
let's try to stay friends now
Over
we just couldn't live a lie.
For the promises that we would stay together
Requiem
We were living in a world of never
never
Nothing
nothing is for ever
This is a Requiem. Requiem
Requiem.
This is in memory of a million chances
Baby we've had our share.
This could have been one of the great romances
Not just a mad affair.
I still have my souvenirs of special places
And I'll remember them.
But our game is voer and we've played our aces
This is a wreck. Oh what a wreck. This a Requiem.
A - - - men.
It's over
and there's nothing to say now
Over
the magic is finally gone.
It's over
there's no other way now
Over
it just can't go on and on.
Now the time has really come to give up trying
. . . Requiem
And to finish with the cheating and the Iying
It's doomed
it's damned
it's dying
This is a Requiem
Requiem
Requiem.
As it was in the beginning then so should it end
Don't let a lover become just a friend
oh no.
I made you a promise I vowed I would keep
The candle 's still burning the river runs deep
my love
Didn't you know
didn't you feel
Couldn't you tell that it was real
Couldn't you tell that it was real.
I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through
I'll love you forever and ever ev'ry day ev'ry hour we share
I'll treasure you I swear I'll love you forever and ever.
What we joined together
let none tear apart
We give one another our hand and our heart
my love
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
Will love last forever I know that it must
my love
Now you can see
now you can feel
Now you can tell that it was real
Now you can tell that it was real.
I'll dedicate to you all my love my whole life through
