Just stay here.
I think somebody
just went over!
Honey, be careful!
Hey!
Anybody in there?
Oh, god.
Hey, call 911!
There's a dead guy down here!
What?
I pulled some strings
with the local cops.
If anyone asks,
we're feds.
Any special unit?
Narcotics.
Hold on a second, guys.
Though I doubt drugs
has anything to do with
What's in this body bag.
Don't you mean who?
Not so much.
Oh, dear god.
Yeah.
That's all that's left
of one thomas rayburn.
Sliced and diced.
His wife's body was
found over this way.
The wound pattern's
the same as her husband's.
The cuts are uneven,
Some deep,
some superficial.
The attack was fierce,
Frenzied.
Yeah.
Doesn't look like she had
much time to put up a fight.
Do you think
we could spin this
As a wild animal
attack?
I don't know.
There's no tracks
around here,
Just footprints.
Okay, so the way I figure it,
Husband and wife
spot this wreck,
Husband goes to investigate,
And when he doesn't
come back,
Wife follows.
It was her voice we heard
on the 911 call.
She said her husband
found a dead body.
Now, judging from
the blood spatter,
I'm guessing
major chest wound.
Steering column
probably punched
Right through the heart.
Death would be
instantaneous.
Yeah.
So then
where's the body?
Yeah, what's up, man?
Hey, come on.
You look like you've
seen a ghost, brother.
Hey, did you get that link
I emailed you
Of the security camera footage
of that parking lot in newcity?
Yeah, I just finished
watching it.
Is the killer
who I think it is?
Well, henry's facial
recognition software
Caught a hit,
And I pulled a frame
from the video.
Huh.
Chad spencer,
Our missing car-crash victim.
and clearly very much alive.
He's a trust-fund baby
on his fourth ivy league tour.
Ah
Who walks away
from a crash like that?
Actually,
what am I saying?
We know a lot of people
Who walk away
from a crash like that.
The question is,
Why hasn't he been
in touch with his family
Or any of
his friends?
He has.
This is darrin wilson,
the other guy in the footage.
Reported missing
two days ago.
Darrin is
chad's roommate.
From another wealthy family,
And yet it's not
a kidnapping scheme.
There've been no ransom demands.
Okay, so what've we got?
We got a dead man,
walks away from a crash,
Becomes homicidal.
Run the data again.
There's obviously
a common denominator
We're overlooking.
See if anyone else
has disappeared.
Yeah.
Hey, you know,
This would be a lot easier
with henry's help.
He's unavailable.
Why, again?
He's on a mission
of utmost importance.
I was sworn to absolute secrecy.
Wait a second.
San diego comic-con?
That's the mission
of utmost importance?
You did not hear it from me.
[scoffs]
where's the big guy?
He's with him?
It's one of
the few places
He actually blends in.
Okay, great,
so they're fan boys.
I'm working with fan boys
Darrin!
What the hell?
I got your text.
Where have you been?
Don't worry about it.
It's all good.
Your parents
have been calling me.
They're freaking out.
I'm sure they have.
Let's go.
What a you doing?
Take it easy.
Shh
Darrin, this is not--
Chad?
Holy crap.
Well, it's nice
to see you, too, laura.
Okay, but I
I went to your
memorial service.
Yeah.
It's a shame I had to miss it.
I heard it was nice.
Oh, it was
beautiful, buddy.
[chuckles]
Okay, you guys are really
freaking me out.
Just relax.
We're all friends here.
What the hell's
going on?
That's what I wondered, too,
at first,
But then I remembered
that week
That we had spent
at that mexican clinic.
And?
And
I'm just saying
Then it all made sense.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god--
[silenced gun snipes]
[gasps]
Hi.
Welcome to the club.
[kate]: Any luck so far?
[will]: Just had a report
of another missing kid.
[kate]: And?
That common
denominator
That magnus
was looking for--
You found it?
Well, out of sheer desperation,
I ran the names
Through the north american
security institute.
You don't seriously think
they're terrorists?
No, but check this out.
The nasi
also monitors
Customs and immigration,
And it looks like
all these missing kids
Recently spent time
in mexico.
On vacation?
Just the opposite.
So they checked into
a drug clinic,
Very expensive,
very exclusive.
Headed by the noted
viennese scientist
Doctor heinrich
baumschlager.
Never heard of him.
Well, the place is called
la casa de la nueva vida.
Ah, the house
of new life,
And it appears to be
living up to its name.
I'll tell dr.
Baumschlager
you're here.
Thank you.
Gracias.
Plastic.
Why do I get
the feeling
We're going to
sit through
A timeshare pitch?
Because there's
something a tad dodgy
About all of this.
Yeah, well,
The crash forensics
came up zilch.
Right now
we have nothing.
None of this
makes any sense.
El doctor will see you now.
On the contrary,
Now it makes
perfect sense.
Hola, amigos!
And right over here,
We have our
friendship lanai.
It's a small, intimate
space for sharing--
Nikola, we're not
here for the tour.
I notice you do seem
a bit on edge.
Might I suggest
One of our green-tea
detox massages?
It makes you feel
We know what's
going on here.
And I don't like
the tone of your voice.
And we don't like
being lied to, so
Why are you people
always so ready
To think
the worst of me?
You've seen
My facilities for yourself.
You don't honestly
expect us to believe
That you are running
a detox clinic?
Yeah, you're, uh,
You're not exactly
the philanthropic type.
I never said I wasn't
making a profit,
But in return,
I provide a public service.
I'm waiting.
Wealthy parents
Ship their drug-addled
teenagers to me.
They arrive,
Their poor little bodies wracked
By the best designer drugs
trust funds can buy.
It breaks your heart,
But then after one week
of my treatment,
I send them home
to mater and pater
Completely cured
of all addictions.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, one week?
Mm-hm.
That's impossible.
Which part of "I'm a genius"
aren't you getting?
Less ego,
more facts, please.
All right.
Do you remember
that weapon I invented
To combat
the cabal's super abnormals?
Yes, all
too well.
This may go
over your head.
Just try
to play along.
Suffice it to say,
I redesigned
the biotechnology core,
Creating a blood matrix scrubber
With selective
protein inhibitors--
Enough!
Whatever
you've done
To these young
people, nikola,
They're
disappearing.
As in
Something's killing them
and stealing their bodies.
You don't say.
Come on, out with it.
I want to hear you
say the words.
All right.
I-I may have
Sort of
Spill it,
nikola.
Turned them into vampires.
Amazing.
Solid.
Admittedly, I was too impatient
with my previous experiments.
They were Imperfect.
They were
homicidal.
Semantics.
This time it's different.
How?
You would still have had
to use your own blood.
Yes, but I programmed
the little tykes' dna
For a time release
of the vampire gene--
the metamorphosis to complete.
Time rease?
We're talking about
ancient vampire blood here.
It's not
cold medication.
Same principle, junior.
I thought
That if I slowed down
the genetic mutation,
I'd sidestep
the antibody rejection
Which was plaguing
my former subjects.
Well, clearly,
something went wrong.
Clearly.
How many subjects
did you treat here?
Oh, man
Enough to raise
a little hell.
I can smell
your blood.
You want to
taste me?
Yummy
Chad!
You gotta see this, man.
Yeah, um
Now is-now is
not a good time.
Would you hear me
out, please?
.
.
So, listen, I hired this hacker
to break through
Dr.
Frankenstein's
firewalls, right,
And most of what we found
were medical journals,
Records of his experiments,
that kind of stuff,
But then I also found this.
What is it?
It's a history
of vampires, laura,
But nothing like
I've ever heard before.
What does it say?
"vampires were once
the best and brightest race
"on the planet.
"so many
of the great minds
Were bloodsuckers.
"
The humans
bowed down to us?
We were immortals?
Kings.
King of the world.
I like the sound
of that.
Yeah.
So do I.
I think it's time
to rebuild the empire.
I don't know.
I don't get it.
I adhered to all the protocols.
Have a look for yourself.
And yet the
incubation period
Was drastically
truncated.
Instant vampires.
So maybe there's some sort of
environmental variable
I didn't take into account.
What, like
weather,
Or diet, lifestyle?
Death.
Death?
Death would be the last thing
That an immortal
would think of.
This first kid
died in a car accident.
And then showed up
two days later, alive.
Chad spencer.
Yes, I remember him.
Alpha-male type.
If a human, having undergone
your treatment, dies--
The vampire gene would kick in.
It was programmed
to survive
At all costs.
Okay, so chad
comes back to life
And starts rounding up
the other patients.
And killing them,
Thereby triggering
their vampire genetics.
The little ***.
This was supposed
to be my party!
Nobody hijacks
nikola tesla!
You guys
must be high.
Are you using
again?
We are clean,
my friend.
What's with
the eyes?
They don't do that
on true blood.
Look, this isn't
a tv show, okay?
This is real.
So, what do you think?
Are you in?
I don't know.
I mean, I didn't get to do
spring break at the clinic
Like you guys did.
Well, now's
your chance.
Be part of the group.
That is, of course,
if you're up for it.
Immortality?
Yeah.
You're serious?
Oh, I'm very serious
But you better be sure about it,
Because there's
no going back.
What do I need to do?
You just leave everything
To me.
Whoa.
What's going on?
Why isn't he
coming back to life?
Wow.
Not cool.
Oh, my god.
I-I killed him.
Look, what the hell
happened?
No, I mean,
I really killed him.
Look, it's not
your fault, okay?
What do you mean
it's not my fault?
I bit him on the neck
and now he's dead!
Well, it's not supposed
to happen like this.
I don't get it.
I mean,
everyone knows
That's how you make
more vampires.
Yeah, well, clearly
they're wrong.
Clearly, chad.
You know,
for the superior race,
We're not doing so hot.
Okay, so,
what do you want to do now?
Look, this is-
this is ridiculous.
Why are we trying to
figure this out on our own?
We know exactly
who did this to us.
That doctor in mexico.
Yeah.
That's exactly where we're going
to find the answers.
Yeah, chad, I'm starting to get
a bad feeling about all this.
What, are you going to bail
just because of one screw-up?
That's what you call
dead steve?
Look, come on,
man, okay?
That quack down south
did this to us,
But we have a chance now
to take our power back.
If we nail this
There isn't anybody on earth
that can push us around anymore.
Okay
We're good.
What about you?
You going to be okay?
I've never
killed anything
In my life,
So how can I
feel so sad,
And at the same time, so
Hungry?
We are what we are.
Hey there.
How are things in the land
of the 65-cent margarita?
Well, the phrase
"bloody awful" comes to mind.
We're on our way back.
In the meantime,
I've emailed you
a list of patients
Who spent time at the clinic.
Find out all you can about them.
Okay.
Am I looking for
anything in particular?
Vampires.
Come again?
Yeah, it seems nikola's
Been up to his usual
selfish tricks.
Oh.
Oh,
I'm selfish?
Shocking, I know.
Because I tried
to save my race
From extinction?
Because you used
innocent children
In a potentially
deadly experiment.
There was that.
Professional
jealousy.
You've no idea
what you've unleashed!
Ah, let me guess.
This must be your
graduating class.
Incredible
It worked.
You're coming with us.
But you didn't even say please.
Nikola,
what the hell are you doing?
Crude, yet magnificent.
Dammit!
It's an honor to welcome
the source of our greatness.
You're like our own
personal obama.
What the hell
are you playing at?
Look, this isn't
a game, okay?
We both know that.
Don't read me
the rule book, sonny.
I wrote it.
What's your problem?
This was your idea, remember?
No, no, no, no.
The spontaneous generation
of vampires
Decades ahead of schedule
was not my idea.
I had a plan,
An intricate,
ingenious design,
And, strange
as it may sound,
It did not involve you
blowing away your friends
And taking over.
Do you have any idea
what you've become?
Well, that's
why you're here,
To fill in
the gaps for us.
Sanguine vampirus.
The preeminent race
on the planet.
Born for
greatness,
Bred to rule.
Kings and pharaohs.
There was a time
when we sighed,
And the world trembled.
We know.
We read your journal.
Look, let's just
cut to the chase, okay?
You chose us
not because of who we are,
But because of
who we'll become.
How astute.
Our parents have
more money than god,
And they hold positions
of power and influence
All over this world.
And in a few decades' time,
You would have stepped
into their shoes,
Creating a new ruling class,
Returning us to the old ways.
So let's
bring it on.
Now,
And if anyone
stands in our way,
They'll die.
Nice.
All the subtlety of
brain surgery with a chainsaw.
But why wait?
We're here right now.
Oh, and you think
That your 24 years' experience
Has prepped you
for ruling the earth?
What are you saying?
I'm saying
you'll blow it.
You've turned what was
supposed to be a symphony
Into rock and roll!
French-canadian rock and roll.
You know,
I was hoping
You'd be a little bit
more cooperative.
Yeah, well, life's a ***,
and then you don't die.
Oh, what, we're going
to do this old-school?
Is that it?
You're not
facing magnus.
This is me.
Bring it on, kiddies.
I hate them.
I hate them
Okay
Let's talk.
You know, I most broke a nai on.
Should counteract
let's talk.
The sedative we gave her
during transport.
Yeah,
just tell me
The straps are
going to hold.
Titanium webbing,
vampire-proof.
Hmm, rise
and shine.
Where am I?
I'll be asking
the questions now.
And who the hell are you?
Where have your friends
taken nikola?
Dr.
Baumschlager?
Wouldn't you like to know?
I don't have time
to play games.
You know, chad's
not going to be cool
With this.
If he finds out
where you're holding me,
He's going to whip
some serious vamp action
On your ***.
You have no idea
what you've become.
Insolence will only
make things worse.
Yeah?
Why don't you bite me, ***?
Why don't you go
get an earl grey
And let me
take a shot?
Hey, cute boy.
Ow!
This is unconscionable,
Even by my standards.
Yeah, well,
I wanted to do it
the easy way,
But you forced my hand.
So you steal
my equipment,
My research, my blood?
Hey, biff!
Darrin.
Whatever.
Take it easy with
the centrifuge, please.
It's not a toy.
I'm just following your notes.
It's not
paint by numbers.
It's a highly
sophisticated
Biochemical
process.
Huh.
Does this chump
even know
What he's doing?
Well, looking
through your data,
I saw that you were
able to create
A single strand
of recombinant dna
Based on your vampiric
genetic pattern,
Then using
a restriction endonuclease,
You were able to cleave
the dna strands
Onto chromosomes number four,
seven, and eight sequentially,
Then reintroduced
this third strand
Back to the separated
double-helix matrix
And spliced it in,
Which, of course,
ultimately created
A stronger,
super-triple dna helix
Within these chromosomes.
Um
Darrin was pre-med.
Was?
Dropped out.
Why?
I don't know,
the parties were lame?
Look, laura,
You know that we're only
trying to help you, right?
Mmm,
Blah, blah, blah
Who's your cute little friend
In the thrift-store
wardrobe?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're cool, right?
Right?
I mean, look,
I get it.
You were brought to that clinic
under false pretences,
And you were experimented on
without your consent--
I checked in a ***-head.
I checked out a vampire.
Bonus.
Look, if you tell us
Where the others
have taken tesla,
We might be able
to reverse the process.
That's your pitch?
Yeah.
Rat out up my friends,
I get to go back
to being an addict?
I'm not telling you anything,
And you can't make me.
Okay.
Well, have it your way.
Kill her.
About time.
What are you going to do,
shoot me?
I'll just heal again.
I'm immortal.
If this gun was loaded
With regular
bullets,
You'd be right,
But these,
sweetheart,
Are solid silver,
Blessed by a priest
With holy water
from the vatican.
Yeah, only us
sanctified
Monster hunters get 'em.
It's
I pump just
one of these babies
Into your heart
And wham!
We found out where
they're holding tesla.
Oh, good.
So the psychological
approach worked?
I had my doubts.
But, hey,
result.
Yeah.
Uh, did you find
anything interesting
In laura's blood?
Perhaps.
Her mutated dna
shows a triple helix.
Translation,
please?
Well, if I can
find a way
To break
the peptide bond,
I might be able to
detach the third strand
And undo nikola's
handiwork.
Tesla said he used
the biotech
Developed for
the super abnormal weapon.
You think we can
adapt it in some way?
Without nikola's research,
I'd be flying blind.
We can't take that risk.
But you may be able
to reverse the process.
"may" being
the operative word.
Nikola's really
done it this time.
His creations
are better, stronger,
Even deadlier than he is.
Conventional means of control
are no longer sufficient.
What if we can't put the genie
back in the bottle?
These people know
what they are,
And now they have nikola.
Wait, you think
They're going to start
pumping out vampires?
I do,
And unless we find a way
to stop them immediately,
We could be looking
at a full resurrection
Of the deadliest race
of abnormals
Ever to roam the earth.
I know how nikola thinks.
He would never create something
That he couldn't destroy,
Or at the very least,
control.
So you're saying
There's a failsafe
somewhere?
Like a kill-switch
that'll un-vamp the vamps?
It makes sense.
He'd never let his work
get compromised.
Right, but
what is it?
And where is it?
Didn't tesla say
The timeline for the vampires
Was, like,
So he'd have to have
hidden it somewhere
That he could be certain
would still be around then.
Right, someplace solid, secure,
Like a A bank.
Or a vault.
A sanctuary.
Dammit, that was
the last borges,
And I was positive.
Nikola so loves jorge's
"a new refutation of time.
"
Hey, what about trollope?
No, it's not
his taste.
Try whitman.
He went through
a free-verse phase
For a while.
So that's curie, einstein,
and hawking down.
Nothing?
No.
No hollowed-out
compartments,
No hidden failsafe schematics,
Just a bunch of
wine stains
On the first editions.
Looks like fang-boy's
a real slob.
Hey!
Not to be
a debbie downer,
But isn't this
one hell of a long shot?
And the alternative?
I don't know.
Exactly.
Keep looking.
Hey
Over here.
What did you find?
It's what
I didn't find.
Dust.
Squeaky clean.
The '45 bordeaux.
***.
That was a gift
from winston.
Churchill.
D-day.
Long story.
Either that's
A lot of
sediment, or
Yeah, baby.
Great.
What is it?
Must be some kind of weapon,
Knowing nikola.
So how do we figure out
how to use it?
Well, that's
quite simple.
We ask the inventor.
Look, I know
that you're pissed
That we messed up
your plan,
But you gotta
give us
Some credit.
You know, thanks to
what we've learned
From your
blood sample,
It, uh
Well, it looks like
we've cracked the code.
Well, forgive me
if I don't applaud.
You know, by duplicating
your experiment,
I could turn
anyone I want
Into a vampire.
Unstoppable army,
anyone?
God help us all.
I don't get you.
Isn't this
what you wanted,
The preeminent
race reborn?
On my terms,
not yours.
See, kid, you've stolen
my life's work,
And you've destroyed my dream,
But really, what's worse
than all that, you little punk,
Is the arrogance to presume
That you even have a clue
what you're doing.
You still don't get it,
huh, gramps?
Mm-mm.
We are your dream.
No, you're
my nightmare.
You know, I really wanted us
to work together.
I did.
You'd be my mentor,
Teach us the ways of the race,
But all you want to do
is *** and moan.
You know, you're
just like my dad,
My coaches, and my profs.
There's no sense of possibility.
You know,
you may be immortal,
But you died a long time ago.
Do you have any idea
who you're talking to here, huh?
Oh, right,
the uh
The king of vampires.
You're nothing
but a giant pain in the ***.
I'll see you next century.
What do you want?
I mean, clearly,
You're the man
with the plan, so
You call this a plan?
Whatever happened to
The good old
stake through the heart?
Doesn't work.
What about
all those movies
Like buffy--
Misinformation
propaganda
Spread by the vampires
themselves--
Confuse the enemy,
preserve the race.
What about exposing them
to sunlight or garlic--
All you get
is tanned vampires
With bad breath.
Besides,
we don't want to kill them.
We want to help them.
No, I'm thinking
kill them.
Yeah.
Trust-fund vampires?
I'm thinking
she's right.
Granted, but it
wasn't their choice.
They may be rich, spoiled,
insolent children,
But that doesn't mean
we shouldn't save them.
That's a terrible sales pitch.
Yeah.
So it's just us against
a bunch of badass
Blood-sucking
immortals, huh?
Well, it's a good thing
We have our magic
glass stick
That we don't know how to use.
Otherwise, I would be worried.
All right.
You ever done
this move before?
Are you kidding?
I invented it.
Bram stoker?
Alcoholic
irish hack.
Helen
Nikola.
Look what we found.
Well, well, well,
the appetizers have arrived.
Well, this is the last time
I come to your rescue.
I'm sorry to say that's true.
And no feeding
until I say.
Good to be king again.
If we ever get
out of this alive,
I'll kill him.
Me first.
Both of you,
back of the line.
Well, it's
about time!
Before you thank me--
Thank you?
You're welcome.
I just saved
all of your lives.
Really? You expect
us to believe that?
What, you didn't believe
That little display
out there, did you?
No, that was just melodrama
for the peanut gallery.
Well, then, let's end
this stupidity right now.
Yeah, untie us.
What is it with
kids these days?
All right,
where is it?
My failsafe?
The '45 bordeaux,
tell me you brought it.
You were taking an awful chance
that we'd actually find it.
Yes, but, helen,
We've known each other
for 100-plus years.
I think I know your mind by now.
Left side.
I've often wondered
what this moment would be like.
Me
You tied up.
It's a shame you
brought the children.
Focus, nikola.
Ah
Okay, so what is that thing?
I call it
The de-vamper!
You're a genius,
And that is the best name
you could come up with?
Watch it.
If this is
some sort of weapon,
What's its power source?
You're looking at him.
Fascinating.
Now untie us.
No, you're safer tied up here.
What are you
going to do?
I'm going to teach those kids
some manners.
Oh, dear.
I think nikola's
about to bite off
More than he can chew.
Hey.
You know, you have such command
Of the queen's
english.
This thing works like a charm.
What happened?
You're fired.
Oh, this is driving me nuts.
Okay, look, why don't you, uh,
why don't you try to reach--
D-don't.
Just reach down--
No.
Can you-
can you feel it?
Oh, crap.
Magnus
I'm trying.
Faster
is better.
Ah
Ah, yes.
Hey, well done.
So, any time.
Right.
Ow.
Unnecessary,
but appreciated.
You're welcome.
What the hell
did you do to me?
You'll thank me in the morning.
Sit! Stay!
You should have
stayed in med school.
Nicely done.
It's all in the wrist action.
Hey!
Toss it over
or I'll kill her.
Oh, not that
old chestnut.
Put it down.
Trust me, son,
this will all end in tears.
Do it!
Helen,
I'm famished.
Do you think you could
light the barbecue?
Doubtful.
They're only tranqs.
Pity.
Perhaps
I could help?
How very gracious of you.
Magnus,
shoot him!
Shut up.
Listen to me.
I'll slice her, man.
Hey, hey, hey, chad,
my man, my bro.
We can work this out.
It's not too late to hit rewind.
Don't mess with me.
I'm sensing
there's some anger here.
So
We were going to
rule the world
Together, huh?
See, the thing is,
I'm more of a one-man show.
So this was all
some sort of set-up, huh?
Well, what can I say?
Never trust anyone over 130.
Helen
Yeah.
You little
I-I can't
I can't
Nikola.
I can't
Well, I hope
you're all happy now.
I'm ordinary.
Hey, there you are.
I was looking for you.
I'm sorry, will.
You must be holding dinner
for me.
Yeah, except
it's 10:00.
You've been in here
for six hours.
Oh.
Have you gotten
anywhere, at least?
I'm afraid not.
I've been trying to splice
together nikola's dna
With the abnormal strands
from laura.
It's just not working.
Well, why don't you use
his research to help?
I have been.
His cells are rejecting
The synthetic vector he created.
Quite simply,
There's no way to reverse
the effects of his de-vamper,
Speaking of which
He's in the lab with laura.
He's trying to cobble together
an energy source
With enough juice
to power the de-vamper,
Now that he can't do it himself.
And I'm guessing
he figured it out.
Well, I guess I better
break the news to him.
Could you send him
to my office, please?
Yeah, sure.
Hey, are you okay?
Hmm?
This really bothers
you, doesn't it,
The fact that you can't
get his powers back?
It's not that.
Well, I should
hope not.
I mean, the guy's been
a thorn in your side
For what, a century?
Why are you working so hard
To turn him back
into a vampire?
Nostalgia, perhaps?
With watson and griffin dying,
John's departure,
and now nikola
You're the last of the five.
So?
Yes, it's done.
Laura is back
to her snivelling,
Spoiled self.
Oh.
This may cheer you up.
Oh, the premier cru?
You must be
feeling guilty.
You can't seriously
blame me for this?
Forgive me, helen.
It's just my soul-crushing
depression talking.
I'm not myself.
On the contrary.
You are your
real self again--
Human, mortal.
Watch your language.
I'm sorry, nikola,
but it's true.
I've tried everything
I can think of.
There's simply no way
to re-vamp you.
You see how this puts
a crimp in my plans
For world domination?
Not to say I won't keep trying.
I would expect nothing less.
Very well.
If this is to be a wake,
then let's do it properly.
Join me ii a toast.
To happier times.
To those halcyon days
of bloodlust now gone,
Plus you gotta admit,
vampires are just plain cool.
Amen.
Here's to the glorious
vampire race,
Once mighty, now extinct.
Mmm
Well
I can work with that.
