Original subtitles

Each day, my students and I take small steps.

But to succeed, I must wean them off what they crave.

For as long as their addiction stands and their ravenous nature continues

to boil, they will be a threat not only to others, but to themselves.

These rations will hold you until your regular shipment arrives.

Has this experiment taught you nothing?

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

mortal.

I'm still starving.

Chill out, Nosferatu. You can stand to lose a few pounds.

Did you hear my stomach roar? Did you?

That's something I really care to think about now.

What was your last meal before you turned?

Belgium chocolates and beluga caviar.

Oh, let's not talk about food.

Mine was overcooked pot roast and cold mashed potatoes.

Mutton chops, peas, brown gravy, and a glass of warm goat's milk.

French fries and an egg cream.

Why is that pizza so big you had to fold it over four times?

Couldn't wait. I burned the roof of my mouth.

Okay, everyone.

I have some good news.

The day schoolers have volunteered to be blood donors?

Your progress recently merits a change in our routine.

And I've decided to let two of you go into town.

And why just two of us?

So one can keep an eye on the other.

If this trial run goes well, we'll loosen up the rules for everyone.

Who gets to go?

that decision, I am leaving up to fate.

An old -fashioned lottery.

Whoa! You gotta shake them up.

And our goodwill ambassadors will be Essie and

Marty. Yes!

Destiny calls for a Marty party.

Great. The goal here is to think of yourselves as observers.

Learn from the experience. See how you can fit in. Oh, no, I have nothing to

wear. Oh, come on. The locals will love this Alibaba thing you got going on.

And remember, you are the test case.

Yeah, don't screw it up.

Well, got all the road rules.

Now it's time to get on down the road.

I guess fate passed you by, huh?

All I had to do was pick my name and I'd be on my way.

So you didn't win the love lottery.

It's obviously not meant to be.

You just don't get it.

I get that you're obsessed with this mortal Sherry.

And that you don't get anything else.

There is nothing else.

Meryl?

Everything okay?

Do you want to sit down?

All right.

We'll both stand then.

Did I ever show you this?

A gift from an old friend.

That's beautiful.

I paid exactly one penny for it.

I thought you said it was a gift.

Tradition doesn't permit the giving of knives as gifts.

It signifies the severing of the friendship.

And she was too important to risk.

Was she a girlfriend?

She was my friend.

And that was a long time ago. What happened to her?

We went our separate ways.

Then it wasn't meant to be.

Finding someone to love is a difficult quest, Meryl.

Is it worth the pain?

Is that what you're feeling?

Pry it for someone of my species?

Or is it subspecies? Errol. It's like I don't even exist.

Still, he's all I can think about.

I don't know what to do.

The way to cure an obsession is to confront it.

How? By giving.

Not by wanting.

But be delicate.

With him?

No, with you.

It's your heart after all.

There's some fresh meat.

What can I get you?

Tomato juice in a clean glass.

Gotcha.

You? Burger. Medium rare.

Fried? No.

Oh, make that a double burger. Rare.

Actually, can you make that a hold the bun double burger rare?

A double burger.

Rare. Yeah.

Actually.

Just pass it through a warm room.

Thanks, Donnie.

Do not act like an idiot, even if you are one.

What if I told you I could hook you up with Sherry?

What? You heard me.

No, I am not going back into her dreams.

No, no, no, no. This time you'll meet her in person.

How? Just leave it to me.

Well, now, why this sudden urge to help?

Maybe I understand loneliness, too.

Well, when? When can this happen?

Tonight.

Now. Okay.

Look at that training whip.

Houston, we have a problem.

Hello Blonde will not leave the door.

Sherry?

Yes, Dr. Murdock?

Would you kindly meet me in the library?

I'd like to discuss your latest essay.

It's kind of late.

It won't take long.

Okay. Just wait for me there, all right?

Okay, I'm on my way.

Too easy.

Look at that.

Just through a warm room, right?

I'm so happy to see you.

Do you want some salt?

What's up, Carl?

I'm starving.

Dr. Murdoch, could I have another blood portion?

Just one.

You know the drill. Everyone gets the same allotment.

Yeah, but I'm bigger than everyone else. You know, I need more.

I'm sorry, Carl. That's not the way we... I gotta have it!

Just relax, okay? Just try and take a deep breath.

Oh, I got this burning inside of my chest.

Sit down over there.

Oh.

Carl, sit down.

I want you to describe everything that's happening to you.

We're going to figure out what's going on here, okay?

You did it?

Your destiny awaits, provided you can make it happen in 15 minutes.

I'll be your lookout.

Meryl, I owe you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can't go in there.

My notebook's inside.

Who are you?

Security. You're not security.

Dwight's our security.

I'm undercover.

For what agency?

A few of the parents hired me.

Whose parents?

You've got to promise me not to breathe a word of this, Malcolm.

How'd you know my name?

It's my job to know.

Can I trust you?

Who are you?

Name's Drew.

Have we met?

Hey, are you using a line on me?

No.

I just... You seem really familiar.

Um, you did it again.

Um, yeah.

Right, yeah.

So, what are you doing here?

Um, just looking into the school.

Is it time of night?

Yeah, well, um, it's the best time to see things as they really are.

So where are you from?

Does it matter?

Are you always this mysterious?

In my blood.

Just give me some blood.

You've got to hold on, Carl, while I figure this out. No!

I am going to lose it if you don't give me some blood.

Carl, hold on.

So you're saying that there's some kids?

that are potential targets for kidnappers. Think about it. These kids

ransomed for millions.

So that's why you're investigating to see if there's anything suspicious, huh?

Anything and everything.

I have some sort of thing.

You do?

Yeah. I was once on a federal case.

Take it easy.

Go to sleep now, Carl.

Good.

It's best for you to be unconscious.

Come here.

Come here.

You are so beautiful.

Look how...

Aren't you fitting in nicely?

Yeah. Well, I'm thinking of turning to some more satisfying entrees. Will you

just get a grip?

Oh, boy, do I need to feed.

How can you make that kind of mistake? I've been receiving your plasma

for... Look, never mind. Just get the new batch ready.

I'm really sorry, but I've got to go.

Those are Chinese knots. Don't strain yourself needlessly.

And that's why I'm considering a career in espionage.

Malcolm, I want you in your room.

Well, I was just talking to... Now, Malcolm.

It's so wild. You look so familiar.

Are you sure we haven't met?

Well, um... Do you believe in fate?

I can't believe you said that.

I'm sorry. I get this way sometimes.

I'm too romantic.

My mother says I wear my heart on my sleeve.

No. No, I believe in fate.

Mealtime.

Oh, you bad boy.

I ain't running.

Hungry, Essie?

Yeah, let's go have the blonde special.

Bring it on, I'm right here.

What is it with you two?

Okay, okay, let's talk about this. Hey, let's...

Eat. Back away from the nick now.

Mr. Murdoch, the plasma you received tonight was spun blood.

It's devoid of all nutrients, and that's why this is happening to you.

Wait, you know these freaks? Shut up.

This is the real thing.

Take it.

You are not slaves to this disease.

Take it.

So I guess I gotta give him a quick erase.

Do it quickly, please, Effie.

What?

Look at me.

What happened?

What you heard?

What you saw?

You never heard.

You never saw.

Too bad you won't remember tonight.

Remember what it felt like to be the real fresh meat on the menu.

I guess we didn't really fit in, did we?

How are the others? Let's go.

I was out of control and I was just lost.

Then my father, he sent me here.

I see you.

Drew, what's wrong?

Drew?

Something's wrong.

We can't be here with them.

Then please, let's go. Okay.

Feeling better, Carl?

Much. You put me down hard, man. How'd you do that?

I read.

You can read about that.

The then of self -defense.

I gotta look into this.

And I promise all of you that a mistake like this will never happen again.

What about another lottery?

We'll see.

And I'll see all of you again tomorrow night.

Sleep well.

How was it seeing Marty go to town?

I met someone named Dottie.

How good could it have been?

I danced a little, fanged out a little, just like old times.

You danced a little?

Please, you were like a swan in heat, trying to seduce that box head Nick.

You should have seen her. She's up against that little jukebox.

Are you just jealous because you had a date with a beef patty instead?

Disgusting. She was like lovey -dovey.

Oh, Nicky, you want some of this? Come on, mama. Please, who was making love to

the hamburger patty? You know, he takes his plate like this. Oh, baby.

Oh, I love you so much.

The taming of the

ancient urges is a constant struggle for my vampire students.

However, underneath their ravenous nature lies the simple needs of all

teenagers, to be needed, to be loved.

But this bonding that could mean so much is still far off, and the bloodlust

that controls the wheel of their lives continues to hold its grip.
