There are internet reports of strange happenings at one Mansbridge Academy.

In particular, a recently deceased young man has apparently been seen walking

the halls there.

And Marion Hackett of the Biomorphic Predatory Disease Agency has also been

investigating for vampires at this site.

I sense the convocation elders are up to something.

You must go there and find out what you can.

And report back to me.

Be discreet, stay hidden. But if anybody gets between you and your mission,

destroy them.

Yes, Master Shakari.

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 among mortals.

The Mansbridge experiment has proved trying.

Hence, I welcome some quiet time as the day school classes are canceled for 24

hours while I do their term evaluations.

And likewise, those of their night school counterparts.

When's he coming?

Hopefully never.

He's your father. You should be excited.

Just because I share a bloodline with him doesn't mean I'm genetically coded

like him.

Besides, shouldn't you be worrying about your dad?

He can't make it today.

So one day off in three months and he's a no -show?

He's away on business.

Some important international stuff.

He'll call me from the satellite phone later this evening.

Well, there's mine.

How's my smile?

Good luck.

No, luck would have been him not showing up at all.

Can I help you? I have a package for Dr.

Reginald Murdoch.

I can sign for it.

I'll try and find him.

Meanwhile, you can help yourself to some cookies.

And, uh...

How does one eat these?

Just dig in.

Getting your hands messed is part of the fun.

Oh, it's tasty.

Your mother worries that you're not eating.

I'll report that she's right. She could have made the dutiful parental

inspections herself.

She's unavailable.

Some things never change.

Well, like me, Sherry. She's busy making our living.

That's right.

Commercial real estate's booming in Asia.

I guess with her traveling all the time, you don't talk to her either.

Every day by email.

I have an email address, too.

Still with the sarcasm in your voice.

Gee, I wonder where I got that from.

Well, I can tell you one thing you didn't learn from me.

You didn't learn to think that it's cool to get kicked out of five schools in

three years.

So I excel at underachieving, sue me.

That's a trait that you should learn to get over.

Learn to stop acting like the spoiled offspring of privilege. Learn to stop

spinning in circles and get yourself headed on a clear course.

Maybe I don't like straight lines.

Maybe it's time you thought about your future.

Or are you waiting for some rich boyfriend to bail you out?

I don't have to be rich.

Look, Sherry, I'm not the bad guy here, all right?

I'm just trying to prepare you for life. Maybe my life isn't dependent on having

a bunch of diplomas on my wall. It's not about having a PhD.

Making a good living is about character. It's about having what it takes. You

know, I'm surprised you and mom were able to find a hole in your schedules to

conceive me.

You live in an unreal world, Sherry.

An illusion that's going to crumble around you.

Hey, thanks for the pep talk, Derek. Can you take me back now?

No. Come on, we haven't finished eating.

Go order some dessert.

This is pathetic.

I can't even win against myself.

Then play against me.

What are you up for? Your evaluation isn't until after mine.

Couldn't sleep.

Carl,

Marty, and Ethel, you're obviously sleeping like babies.

That's the reward of a clear conscience.

And demanding their interviews be done in their normal awake hours.

Us volunteering to go first was probably a bad idea.

Why? You're worried you'll fail the interview and Murdoch will send you

Errol? You don't get it.

This is our home. No, it's not mine.

It's just a halfway house for vampire freaks like us.

This experiment is our only chance.

To do Murdoch a call? No one consulted me.

There's a war going on out there in case you haven't noticed.

The Fury wants the slaves to have bloodthirsty instincts.

Immortals just want us dead.

Which leaves us between a rock and a hard place.

It leaves us with a chance.

We both know Shikari must be stopped.

Slater of the Fury, he's invincible.

It's only a matter of time.

Can I help you?

You got a delivery or something?

That must mean you want me to sign for it, huh?

I'm curious to know what you think you've gained so far from this

How to avoid detention and suck up to the teacher.

Definite human survival techniques.

That's encouraging.

Anything else?

What? You want to hear that I've been transformed? That I've curbed my primal

instincts? Only if it's true. Well, it isn't.

And I still have all my self -destructive urges.

You hate life so much.

I'm dead in case you've forgotten.

Look, I didn't ask to be vampire.

Was it in my game plan? Was it my destiny? How do you know?

You were a bright kid, Drew.

Your school records show that you had great potential. Yet you slacked off.

fell in with the wrong crowd. Get real. Nothing I did or do matters.

You believed that all your life. Becoming a vampire just made it easier

to feel sorry for yourself.

You're up pretty late.

What are you doing with the camera?

Go away.

Come on, tell me what you're up to.

Go to bed.

Yum.

Should we order you another one?

Well, your mother's not around, so we should.

Why did you even bother coming?

Because you're my daughter, Sherry.

You make me sound like an obligation.

Well, I want what's best for you.

So why not let me take a year off and travel? You know, so I can figure out

I want to do with my life. On whose expense account?

I'm not asking you for money.

You can't even trust me to make my own decisions.

You know why?

It's because you're afraid to make your own.

What? For all your big bucks and your big shot friends, you're a coward

underneath. You never took any chances. You never followed your heart.

Instead, you took the safe route and became a lawyer.

How depressingly unoriginal.

Watch your mouth.

Why, am I hitting too close to home? No, on the contrary. You are displaying a

stunning ignorance of the fact, considering the privileged life you

Oh, do tell.

Okay, you are selfish and vain and have no regard for anything except your own

feelings. Okay, time to go.

Sit down, Sherry. We're not done talking. Yes, we are.

Sit down.

No!

I am through taking orders from you.

You lost that privilege.

Time for your one -on -one with Murdoch.

But I warn you, it's a highly overrated experience.

Your meal time isn't for two hours yet.

Does being a vampire ever frighten you?

At first, when I realized what I'd become.

But I got used to it.

I never have.

The blood makes me sick to my stomach.

But you drink it.

To stay alive, death frightens me more.

I'd welcome it.

Why do you resist who you are? Why not make the best of it? Why not pretend the

sun doesn't shine?

I feel sorry for you.

Don't.

I shouldn't keep Dr. Murdoch waiting.

Nick.

You're up late.

Can't sleep.

Well, I'm just about to have a cup of tea.

Care to join me?

No.

You're not getting thick, are you?

No.

You want to talk about something?

No.

Well, if you ever do, you know I'm always here to listen.

Probably went to clean up after spilling the tea.

You notice anything odd?

Camera hasn't moved.

Like it's stuck.

Who's with him?

Creep in residence. That's who.

Every camera is fixed on his office.

Something's not right.

Check it out.

Maybe he's in the kitchen. Be careful.

Vampire.

Vampire.

I don't know if he just disappeared.

Can you pick up any of his thoughts?

Nothing. But I have to be very close to him to sense anything.

Something's very wrong.

Look.

What's he doing in Murdoch's study?

What's he doing?

He's found us.

Not he.

It...

Nick,

you scared me.

It's the Fury.

Shikari's found us.

No, it's just a scout.

It has to be stopped.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Drew, where are you going? I'm not going to hurt her. Should we wake up the

others? No time.

Nick, listen.

I'm really not up for you being cute right now.

Okay?

Okay.

I will be pleased.

But I'm alone here.

There are no others.

Take me to him. No!

I won't let you do that.

Now what have you done?

You have to kill it. You can't let it go back.

How does one evaluate the progress of a vampire?

Is it only in their ability to curb their instincts?

With mortal students as well, progress is difficult to gauge.

Last night I said some things that I regret.

And I'm sorry.

I said some pretty awful things too.

Well, there's a privilege that you are entitled to.

And that's being young. I have no excuse.

Well, I guess I should be going.

See you soon.

Dad.

This doesn't mean all is forgiven.

I know.

I know. I would expect my daughter to be a tough negotiator.

I just don't want to be the monster in your life anymore.

Then I guess I'll have to create a new one.

You look terrible.

Yeah.

Yeah, I woke up sprawled out over there on the floor.

Just went to my sleepwalk.

In both worlds, vampire and mortal, evaluating change is a never -ending

struggle, but a necessary one.

Tonight, you could have had your wish, ended it all.

Instead, you chose to live.

For now.

Nighty -night.
