The sudden arrival of the rogue vampire, Bridget, has put the Mansbridge

experiment in jeopardy.

She has seduced one of our own and turned him into the very thing we had

to prevent, a soulless predator.

Oh, my God, Carl.

His fate, now in the hands of the elders, is uncertain, as is the life of

my day school students, Dylan.

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.

It's been two hours.

Time to remove the healing cloth.

The bleeding finally stopped.

For now.

What's that going to do?

Draw out coral saliva.

And hopefully it'll stop the internal infection.

If it can.

Then I've tried every remedy I know.

Where am I?

Where am I?

Shh, shh, shh.

Take it easy.

You're going to be all right.

Is there any improvement?

Yeah. She came to for a second.

You didn't tell her anything?

No.

I can't believe I was so wrong about Carl.

Any sign of Bridget?

She got away.

I've contacted the elders. I'm sure LaCalle is on his way now.

What happened to him?

It's for the elders to decide.

Her pulse is getting weaker.

Shouldn't we be contacting her family or something like that? Tell them what?

That the daughter's been attacked by a vampire?

There's nothing they can do anyway.

What are you looking at?

Someone I thought I knew.

Well.

We're losing her.

What? We're losing her.

What?

Come on. I'm not getting a pulse. Come on.

I almost lost her.

Yeah, well, don't get too chummy with her, pal.

What? You should have let her die, Drew.

What? Take it through, all right? She's been bitten by a vampire.

That means two things.

She either dies like all good mortals should. It's not going to happen.

Or she survives, all right? And becomes one of us.

How did you want her?

Huh?

When will we know?

If she'll be turned by dawn, she'll be all right.

What about Carl?

The rogue vampire who seduced Carl.

What did she see?

Everything.

I've dispatched a search party to find her.

Let's hope that she's not headed straight to the Fury.

And the girl?

Will she survive?

She's stable.

Has the turning begun?

There are no signs yet, my lord.

If she does turn and becomes a vampire, this experiment is

terminated.

Going back for more?

I hope you're satisfied with your handiwork. Back off, Essie.

What you did to her was obscene. Look who's talking.

You've killed how many mortals?

A hundred, two hundred, a thousand?

That was a long time ago. So mine was six hours ago. What's the difference?

I've changed.

No, you haven't.

None of us have because we can't.

Killing is in our blood. It's who we are.

How did we lose you, girl?

Last time I saw you, you were ready to back it in.

I would have.

If not for you.

Where am I?

You're at Mansbridge.

In the basement.

Please.

You need to rest.

What happened to me?

What happened to me?

Look at me.

You've got to relax.

Okay? Are you some kind of sick pervert?

Please, just calm down.

What happened to me?

I can't tell you.

Please.

I want you to try to remember.

I can't. Listen to me.

You have to.

I... I was in the

library.

He's going to hurt you now.

What are you doing, Meryl?

Ironing our convocation ropes.

Don't kid yourself.

Darren can be a pledge tonight.

We pledge to battle darkness in others and in ourselves.

And only make the occasional vampire so we don't lose our edge.

We should have let her die.

How can you say that?

What we did to her is cruel, Meryl.

There ain't one of us that doesn't wish that we really died.

And instead of living this life,

the

first 24 hours after being made, I just lay there,

half conscious, somewhere between life and

death.

There was no pain, just this dull ache and this.

Crazy thirst.

It's a crazy thirst for blood.

I... I live by the canal in Manchester.

It was a roughed -up neighborhood with a lot of homeless people who...

who'd open up to strangers.

for six or seven hours.

By the time the sun came up, I'd... I'd kill 19 people.

The last one was this, um... It was a little boy.

I couldn't stop myself.

After he just laid my arms, drained of his life, and...

He

killed them, Errol.

He killed them.

What have we done?

Her fate is out of your hands.

She is not one of us.

Yes, my lord.

But she could become one of us.

And I believe she needs to know the whole truth.

Do you dare defy me?

No, my lord.

But it would seem to be the humane thing to do.

This girl could ruin the entire experiment and endanger your lives and

of countless millions if we fail.

Yes, but are we not being taught to value life?

To hold it sacred?

The survival of our race is sacred.

And anyone who threatens that is expendable.

Is that clear?

Yes, my lord.

So if she turns?

She will die.

It's only an hour till sunrise.

Looks like she's going to make it.

Yeah.

Murdoch has resumed preparations for the pledge ceremony.

Why don't you go upstairs and join the others?

Take a breather.

I'll take over.

No, I'll go.

Mm -hmm.

No one's ever stayed with me when I was sick.

I keep having that horrible dream.

What the hell?

I remember now.

I was in the library, hoping to meet my mystery writer.

You're waiting for me?

Tell me it was a dream.

Tell me it didn't really happen.

A kid.

You were attacked by a vampire.

Was it you?

No. No, another.

We are all vampires driven by dark desires.

Afraid of the light.

You wrote that.

It wasn't a metaphor.

No. It was real.

Are you going to feed on me?

No.

We don't all live in darkness.

Sometimes we find the light.

What are you doing to me?

What are you doing to me? What are you doing to me?

What are you doing to me? What are you doing to

me?

So I guess I didn't turn after all?

No, I guess you didn't. You looked just fine.

Too bad I've always been a night person.

I think it's time to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

It's time for you to return to your world.

We can still see each other, can't we?

You know, some late night thing.

Yeah, sure.

Why are you so sad?

I hate goodbyes.

Who are you?

Drew?

Look at me.

Tonight you got very ill with food poisoning.

Dr. Murdoch stayed with you and nursed you back to health.

Whatever you heard or saw.

this pledge ceremony with the exception of Carl who showed himself unworthy

however I hereby assign him to probationary status

within the experiment for his choices were born

of inexperience not malice but for those who would

threaten

Our experiment.

Let this be a lesson.

You know it's while they're on.

I have to cut off my head to get it.

For we must succeed at any cost.

Or all perish.

Now, Drew will speak on your behalf.

We pledge to battle darkness in ourselves.

And others.

So goes the initiate's pledge.

But the battle is never won.

Only fought by the choices we make.

Whether vampire or mortal, the fight is the same.

Hey, Dylan.

See you next time.

Bye, guys. Take care.
