It is said that tragedy puts us on a new path.

Some turn to God, others turn to something else.

Sherry's passing has brought great loss to the school.

You gotta eat.

Look, I'm sure the elves are taking good care of Drew.

After all, he's the chosen one these days, right?

Sherry's death hit him hard, and you know it.

Yeah.

So now he gets special treatment.

Could be there forever.

I know you're hurting.

And I just want you to know that, um...

I think it's okay.

Wasn't I the one anyone said to me, Marty?

Well, you know what they say, right?

If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

Come on, I'm not such a bad guy.

Nice head of hair, strong features, winning smile.

I clean up real good.

You can make an honest man out of me.

No one can.

I'm back.

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.

I can't believe I missed your funeral.

You didn't miss much.

She was my best friend.

They put her in a box and dropped her in the ground, that's all I'm saying.

You're at zero comfort right now.

Hey, I was using that bed.

Yeah, well, it's mine, okay?

Use Sherry's.

It's probably still warm.

Fine.

I'll sleep on the floor.

We should give it back to him.

Who?

Drew.

He sketched this.

Who's Drew?

You don't know him?

He was her boyfriend.

Well, ex, I guess now.

Never heard of him.

He was only the most important person in her life. That's all I'm saying.

She never mentioned him.

First, I'd like to welcome Drew back to Mansbridge.

Woo!

Unfortunately, he's not permitted to tell us much about his experience with

elders, although I assume it was rewarding.

Deeply. Good.

All right, let's get on with it.

You were to choose a human hero and analyze the characteristics that made

her great.

I see.

Mel DeMarcos. I mean, think of all those thousands of pairs of shoes. I chose

Dr. Trash from the rest of the world. He's upstanding, moral, and... You know,

somehow, I think we're missing the point here.

I chose Abe Lincoln.

So did I.

What he did for Slayer. Highly overrated.

I think Abraham Lincoln was a very good choice.

And I think the two of you should work on it together.

What's with this program anyway?

I mean, how come we're always studying morals? What about our own kind? Isn't

there something we could learn from them?

No, because we're the bad guys, remember?

Bad guys?

Says who?

How can we be free if we don't know who we really are?

We're predatory, instinctual, devoid of feeling and a story.

Wrong. We are powerful, gifted, and with a real history.

We know what we are. We've hardly touched the surface.

I mean...

How many of you have ever heard of Dracon?

Who?

That's enough, Drew.

Oh, I haven't even started yet.

Wait, wait, wait.

Who is this Dracon? I'll see you in my office.

Now.

You were sworn to silence.

Is that not true?

Yes, but we all have a right to know. No, you'll have a right to know when

time to know.

How did you find out about him?

I looked in the archives. That's forbidden.

I was bored.

You were there to find peace with yourself.

I was there to find the truth.

And I did. With Dracon?

He's my choice for a hero. Dracon is a vile and bloody executioner.

As sick and perverted a piece of damnation as ever walked this earth.

He had the powers of a god.

He was made a god by the fury, not by the convocation.

His rule was absolute. His intellect was corrupted by bloodlust and evil.

His legacy was death to all and everything he touched.

Well, then he is obviously who we really are.

No, he is not!

But he is who you can become.

You understand? That is the truth.

Well, then why hide it from us? Because none of you are ready to know it yet.

Oh, that is crap!

You will not give another thought to Dracon.

Do you understand me?

Rumor has it that you have something of his.

Taken when he was finally captured and beheaded.

Who told you that?

Where is it?

What's happened to you, Drew?

Where is it?

I have a right to know. No, you don't.

Dr. Murdoch.

Good morning, Dylan.

I need your help about something.

What is it?

It's about Drew.

He did this for Sherry, and I think he should have it back.

You know, something to remember her by.

Yes, that's a very nice idea, but I'm afraid I can't help you.

You must know where to reach him. As a matter of fact, I don't.

But I saw you with him the night Sherry died. He was in your office.

Isn't he a student or something?

Yes, right. I was tutoring him for a while, but I'm not doing that anymore.

I don't know where he is, Dylan.

I'm sorry.

But I have to get to him.

Well, I'm sure he's going to call in at some point. What if he doesn't?

Why is this so important to you?

I... I just think it's a humane thing to do, that's all.

Agreed. But I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you.

I'll see you in class.

Do I have time to go back to my room?

No. As a matter of fact we're already late. Let's go.

I thought we were both supposed to work on this Abraham Lincoln piece. I think

better when I curl.

The more I read about him, the more I feel like he was a man born in the wrong

century.

Too bad he didn't get to see the end of the play.

Hey, Drew, do you want to give us a hand here?

No, he's hardly sympathetic to our subject.

What a bunch of knee -jerk liberal propaganda.

Lincoln was in the pockets of the northern industrialists.

Slavery threatened their monopoly.

It had to go.

You actually despise the man?

I feel nothing towards him.

He could be admired, not because he was the liberator, but because he was a

ruthless opportunist.

Y 'all just got you, like, on a training program or something?

I miss her so much.

Come on.

I have an extra sheet.

Why would Murdoch lie to me?

Maybe he confused her with someone else.

no he's covering something up maybe drew's his illegitimate son

something's not right with this guy

Miss me when I was gone?

I was worried about you.

No fantasizing?

True.

You said I was the one.

Yeah.

So I'm ready.

I'm gay.

Let's go.

What's going on?

I'm finally being myself. That's what's going on.

And it feels so great.

What are you afraid of?

I don't know.

I don't feel. That's your problem.

Humans feel.

Vampires act.

This experiment is destroying you.

They're making me human.

That's what they want.

But it's not what we are.

Let yourself go, Meryl.

I am your one.

What are you doing?

What comes naturally.

Don't.

You don't look so good.

Go away.

You're bleeding.

Stay away.

I didn't know better I'd say you're looking for a way out.

You know, so long, Arrivederci.

It's been good to know you.

Please, just leave.

Listen, I know it hurts.

Why don't you leave?

Because I've been there, done that, and almost bought the T -shirt.

They pumped me out before I signed off, okay?

Could have been in heaven right now, looking down on you and yelling, Don't

it! Heaven's not everything it's cracked up to be.

Oh, you don't understand.

You think your pain's different than the other guys?

You think your reasons are so special?

Well, I got news for you.

No matter who you are, it all boils down to one thing.

Who's my dying gonna help?

Certainly not Sherry. You leave her out of this! No, let's put her smack dab in

the middle of it because that's where she belongs.

Dead center in your heart.

Kill yourself and you just kill any memory you have of her.

And then she's really dead.

If you didn't love her, you wouldn't feel this bad.

Hey.

Welcome to the human race.

Whoever the hell you are.

The vampires search for understanding.

One path can take you where you want to go, while others lead to a dead end.

We've been looking all over for you.

Well, I was a little tied up.

Let me ask you something.

Did you decide who to write about?

Still looking for a real hero.

Uh -huh.

Well, I'm sure you'll come up with something.

Yeah.

But one thing is certain.

Feelings, whether joyous or painful, are the highest gift of being human, and in

the end, worth any price.
