Midnight Mass

The Center for Disease Control met with UN officials today

to address growing concerns about the new viral epidemic

that has so far claimed the lives of--

The outbreak responsible for the deaths of dozens

throughout Egypt and Saudi Arabia

is now thought to be the result of contaminated reservoirs

which supply all of the drinking water to many of the smaller communities.

After repeated warnings by the military craft to turn back,

the raft, reported to be carrying three Cuban defectors

towards the Florida Keys, was fired upon

killing all three passengers.

l'm being told now that we do have footage of the incident.

We're going to try to go to that now.

There seems to be no end in sight

to the virus sweeping throughout the Middle East,

lndia and North Africa.

With cases now being reported in Greece,

doctors at the CDC work around the clock for answers.

We are considering this our major priority at the moment.

People have been moved from other tasks and responsibilities

to help work on this.

We're working in partnership with state and local authorities.

We'll do anything and everything possible to control these outbreaks

with a minimum of destruction to the American people.

Thank you.

Now, Daniel Mateo, Director for Disease Control and Prevention,

issued a statement attacking the legitimacy of your research

saying, ''Before Dr. Randall resorts to fairy tales and vampires,

as the cause of these symptoms, he should first examine--

- Yes, yes, yes. - No, no, no.

He should first examine cases of illnesses

like erythropoietic protoporphyria.

as a likely cause of the symptoms described in his publication.

The author wants you to believe that catalepsy,

a condition that causes slowing of the body's regulatory functions

and temporary paralysis, was responsible for those bodies

that were seen crawling out of a mass grave in Prague.

lt's an insult to the public to expect us to believe

that entire nations can be struck down by these rare diseases.

They do not explain the mounds of bodies

bursting into flame on exposure to sunlight.

They do not explain these so-called ''plague victims''

being drained of most of their blood.

And they do not explain the exponential growth...

The government has halted all international flights.

Commercial and passenger planes were forced to land by military aircraft

while attempting to depart Los Angeles lnternational Airport.

A visible military presence in all airports...

The first American victims of the epidemic

have been reported on both coasts.

lf there's anyone left watching,

the virus story you have been told is a lie

propagated by the government.

As unbelievable as it may seem,

there are vampires among us.

We have known for some time now,

but we are forced to continue the charade.

There's nowhere left uncontaminated.

There's nowhere to run to.

Barricade yourselves in your homes.

Stay off the streets at night.

Everything else you know:

crosses, sunlight,

destroying the heart,

these are your only defenses.

Let's go.

We have to end the broadcast now.

God save us all.

# You can't see me anymore #

# There's nothing there #

# Just memories #

# Things l want to hide #

# Just don't understand #

# Or just can't comprehend #

# The sound of your voice #

# Ringing in my head #

# We've got nowhere to go #

# Of all the things l know #

# You're the one #

# That l miss the most #

# Can l leave now? #

# The damage is all done #

# No more words #

# And l'll be on my way #

# You were selfish #

# Didn't you know #

# l'd have done #

# Anything not to go? #

# And l was selfish #

# Just too free #

# Now l long #

# Just to feel you... #

Don't you know who we are?

l know.

You're their watchdogs.

We're more than that, princess.

So much more.

She's not too appetizing.

We won't exactly be getting the red carpet treatment.

- lf this is the best that we could do... - Don't think, fool.

lt's not your job.

She's better than going back empty-handed.

Yeah, but she's--

Are you going to challenge me? Don't forget what tonight is.

Look!

Hold this.

No, no, no!

Please stop.

That's scary.

You think that's the first piece of ink we've seen like that?

- We can take care of that, my dear. - No, please!

No, please let me go!

- Please let me go. - Get her.

No, let me go.

l don't see her.

Forget her. We'll get her next time out.

l don't want to be late for my own confirmation.

Help! Somebody help me!

Please, somebody help me!

Somebody help me, please!

Somebody please help me.

Please, somebody help me. Please.

Open your mouth again, l'm gonna fucking piss in it.

# How you thought #

# You knew me #

# Understood mind-games #

# My dark needs #

# This is not the thrill l'm after... #

No, no.

Please don't.

No!

# Wrap your arms around my pale skin #

# lt's too late to back out #

# You're in #

# On your knees and praise your new lord #

# Deeper now #

# And here's your reward #

# Take me to bed, and rip me apart #

# Take me to bed, and rip me apart... #

No, please stop.

Please.

Help me, please.

Father, please help me.

Shhh!

Don't be afraid.

You'll soon be free.

No, no, no!

No, please don't.

Please!

No, no!

Come on.

Where are you?

l'm looking for Father Cahill.

Joe Cahill?

He's not here.

Well, l-- l'd heard he had moved here.

Yeah, only when he's sober.

Try Morton's Liquors.

Well, can l at least come in and wait for him?

l had to travel all night.

l could use the rest.

l wish l could let you in, but l can't.

Do you understand?

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Father Cahill!

Joe!

Thanks, but l've already got one.

Joe: Who the hell are you?

lt's me, Joe.

Gwen.

Gwen. l'll be damned.

Get your ass down here and have a drink.

l'll come in,

but no drinking.

We gotta talk.

Damn.

Wait, wait.

Now how is it, a little thing like you

managed to survive the occupation this long?

Come on, you of all people should know

l never do what's expected of me.

You've lost weight.

Well, it's getting harder and harder to find food out there.

l imagine that's not a problem at the retreat house, is it?

Clergy still has it made.

Hey, don't start. l can't have a debate right now.

lt's gonna make me go all ''head explodey.''

Well, maybe you should have another drink instead.

What do you think you're doing, Father?

The village atheist wearing a cross.

Well, wonders never cease.

l know, a bit contradictory.

l find it hard to believe, myself.

But it's a wonderful fashion accessory these days.

Everybody's wearing them.

lt really works against them. Who knows why?

- You wanna know? - Put your pamphlets away

'cause l still don't buy it.

There's probably another explanation.
