I've never used a divining board before.

You want an answer? This spells it out.

This way you never have to make your own decisions.

I don't know, I just feel kind of stupid using it to contact a... Spirit?

Is the guy that shows up in your dreams real or not?

Yes, he feels real. Then let's find out if he's a ghost, so you can stop

obsessing.

Hey, put your hands right here.

Okay, now ask the board if he's here.

Who?

Santa Claus.

Your dream lover.

Well, are you here?

I'm underwhelmed.

Okay, whoever you are, if you're real, reveal yourself.

You're pushing it. I'm not, I swear it.

You must be.

I...

Am...

I don't believe this.

When the great eclipse plunged the world into darkness, the vampire race erupted

in a civil war.

The bloodthirsty fury battled with the enlightened elders for domination of the

undead. In desperation, the elders gathered up those young vampires that

be saved and entrusted them to me.

To humanize them, to tame their instincts, and teach them how to live

mortals.

Vampires experience phenomenon peculiar to their race.

They're at the mercy of instincts that can flare up at any moment, condemning

them to act out ancient urges.

For this morning's lesson, I want to introduce you to an unusual man, a great

man who dared to disagree with the authorities of the day, Galileo.

1564 to 1642, Italian astronomer and physicist.

His first published work, Dialogues Concerning the Two Chief World Systems,

a bestseller in 1632.

Yeah, I'll have to write out and buy it.

Excellent, Nick. Then we'll all look forward to your ten -minute oral report

next Monday.

Each of you will also work with a partner in order to discover why this

man was able to rise above the norm.

and achieve greatness.

I've taken the liberty of assigning teams.

I'll expect your results in 48 hours.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, this assignment will be worth 30 % of your

term.

Guess

what,

Space Cadet?

I'm all about forgetting games.

Well, Doc must have decided to throw us back together.

It's got to be his way of playing matchmaker, don't you think?

I'll meet you here after dinner, partner.

Rotten night.

Every night's rotten.

But here's the best part.

It'll be that way forever.

Your schedule has been moved up five hours, starting today.

Oh, man, I knew I was short on sleep.

See, I do require my set amount of beauty rest.

You just need to get your blood revved.

I'm ripe and ready to do that.

Speaking of revving, the elders want to accelerate your study.

Are they displeased?

On the contrary, they think you can be challenged even more. So when's our

downtime? Yeah, to drool over day school babes.

The lesson today is about someone who dared to disagree with everyone around

and to take his own path.

Would this be Satan?

No. Mortal or one of our own? Someone who was given a chance to become vampire

but chose mortality instead so that he could study the wonders of the real

world. Somebody had a choice about being vamped. His name was Galileo.

And what he dared to believe changed the world.

Yeah, well, I believe I'm hungry.

So does this new schedule give us an early breakfast?

You'll be hit at one o 'clock, as always.

Marty.

It's time to eat.

Yeah.

I'll have

come to take you

away.

I need to talk to you. What is it, Mimi?

It's about Sherry. I'm worried.

She's been acting so strange.

How do you mean strange?

She's having this thing.

With a ghost.

What? Why would you say that?

It's talk to her through a board.

Ah.

Yes, I used to play those games myself. They can be very convincing. I saw this

with my own eyes.

Yes, well, I will look after this, Mimi. I'm sure there's a perfectly good...

When?

Very soon.

Now, will you please go back to your room?

I did as you commanded and moved their schedule ahead.

The moon has entered its fourth quarter.

During this period, should a sleeping vampire's coffin be exposed to the early

morning lunar rays, it can cause... The stirring.

Moonlight of the fourth quarter can generate an escalation of the

which in turn can unleash...

controllable purges.

Be alert for any signs.

Why watch it on video, Drew, when you can have the real thing?

In case you've just joined us, Marty, we can't have the real thing.

Oh.

If I want it... I'm gonna

get it.

Don't even think about it.

Oh, Drew.

What we have here, then, are those pesky double standards.

No. What we have here...

is me telling you to get the clear picture.

I'll stay away from her.

Male bonding gives me goosebumps.

Stay out of this, Essie.

I'm tempted to tell both of you to grow up, but since we know how long that

takes for us, I'll skip it. Take a hike, Essie.

Don't start what you can't finish.

Oh, I can finish it.

Nice claw work, eh?

And, uh, if you don't learn to behave yourself, there's just gonna be blood

between us.

Why, Anthony, you really care.

You know we've done diddly -squat on this project in 24 hours?

I can't concentrate.

Well, hey, that's great.

I mean, it's only 30 % of the term, Mark, so why should he get so upset,

You've become studious now, have you?

I just want us to do something together and get it right.

You know, for once.

Maybe it's a little too late.

Maybe I just need a new partner.

What are you doing?

Don't bother someone else.

I'd rather bother you.

Are you hating on me?

I knew I was irresistible.

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm protecting you.

I don't need your protection, Essie. Yes, you do.

You're lining up your next victim. You think I can't sense that?

And this would be what?

Vampire -ass intuition?

This would be me giving you fair warning.

Hestia's home, Monitor.

Leave the girl alone.

Or you'll suffer the consequences, as will all of us.

I've warned you.

Hold on to this.

Since the first night with the divining board.

And how would you describe this ghost?

I didn't say it was a ghost.

Okay.

What is it?

It's a he.

And I haven't actually seen him.

I just felt him through messages.

And what have you learned through these messages?

That he knows me.

He knows my deepest thoughts and desires.

And you believe all this to be true?

You think I'm making this up, don't you?

Sherry, did you know that Galileo had his first scientific breakthrough when

was still a teenager?

Everyone thought he was crazy.

Until they found out he was right.

So you believe me?

I believe that you believe.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Good night, Sherry.

Thank you.

Catching a lot of gravity?

That's Newton, not Galileo.

I'm playing!

What's wrong, Marty?

Oh, good question, Meryl.

What's wrong?

I'm a cooped -up vampire locked away to learn about truth, justice, and the

mortal way!

Marty, I know you're going through... No, you don't!

None of you do.

I'm going to get some air.

No, Marty.

Stay here.

With us.

What's up with him?

He's stirring.

We can't help it.

Who are you targeting?

Sherry.

Marty!

What do you think you're doing?

What I always do. My own thing. Not with her.

She belongs to nobody, remember?

That's the way the game's played.

Not anymore.

Think of the possibilities, Drew.

If I make her, she becomes one of us.

Then you can have her forever.

It's been fun.

But Sherry awaits.

It's happening.

Don't be afraid.

Are you real?

Oh, yes.

Real enough.

That's it.

Rue, no! I can stop him! No, you can't. Not alone.

There's a way we can stop him together, but we have to join the others.

Come on!

It's beautiful.

My undying pleasure.

Who are you?

You know who I am.

Then why am I afraid?

You who are the many must now become the one.

Gather yourselves together in your places and join together.

Repeating after me.

I'm about to make you one with the darkness.

What's that?

Come to me!

Make us regret choosing you for this experiment.

Who's playing the piano?

Go back to sleep.

Mimi?

Yeah?

Can you throw out the divining board?

With pleasure.

Done.

Thanks.

Marty, will you join us, please?

Oh, I feel a lecture coming on.

Oh, you were the victim this time. It was the stirring.

So you're saying I was just stirred up.

So then we're cool with that.

Invercall. Is he cool with this too?

Not quite.

For all our combined efforts to save the one, the one will now polish for

the many.

Wait, guys.

I don't do shoes. I...

A vampire's life is

one of solitude.

and isolation, where he learns to survive on his own instincts, only

himself.

Becoming human is about risking trust, allowing yourself to be dependent on

another.

For then, and only then, can a true connection be made, a joining of

souls in the common pursuit of that most precious gift of all, life.
