Bloodstone: Subspecies II

It began as a summer adventure.

We came to Transylvania to study

the folklore of vampires.

We chanced upon an ancient malevolent creature named

Radu, who coveted the bloodstone, to which his

brother, Stefan, was rightful heir.

I loved Stefan.

His heart was noble.

In vengeance, Radu slaughtered my friends and mingled his

blood with mine.

Stefan destroyed him with a stake through the heart,

infused me with his own blood and lay me down

to be reborn a vampire.

Forgive me, Brother.

The bloodstone is mine.

Ah.

Live long to me now, pretty one.

Ah.

Ah!

The bloodstone.

You bastard.

The bloodstone!

You bastard!

Bastard!

You will suffer dearly for this.

I need to make an international call.

You must pay in dollars.

Yes.

OK.

Wait there please.

Miss, miss?

Your call.

Hello?

Just a moment for your call please.

Hello?

Becky?

Michelle?

Are you back already?

I want to come home.

Michelle, what's wrong?

I don't want to be like him, Becky.

Be like who?

He bit me.

What are--are you talking about?

Listen to me, if there is a problem why don't you just

call the police?

No, no, no, I need did you.

Please come.

OK, calm down.

Where are you?

Bucharest, The Hotel Bucharest please come.

I need you.

OK, don't go anywhere.

I'll be there as soon as I can get a flight.

OK, OK.

B--Becky?

Please hurry.

[WOMAN SINGING, GROWLING INCANTATIOUSLY]

Hmm, hmm...

You!

You are forbidden here.

Mommy, have you no love in your heart for your most

faithful son?

Curse you, Radu.

Leave my abode.

I bring you a sacred gift.

The blood of my father.

The king is but a memory.

And the bastard boy?

Dust.

The bloodstone, give it to me.

The bloodstone was stolen from me.

By Stefan's consort.

Kill her.

Kill her.

And bring me the prize.

I'll bring you the bloodstone.

But I cannot kill her.

You defy me?

I mingled my blood with hers.

I'll have her for my plaything.

Come here, Radu.

Give me your hand.

Return to your father's castle this night.

Burn the dead ones in a fire of black thorn and cast their

ashes to the north wind.

Remain you there until the moon is full.

For there will be horror.

Go at once!

But Mommy, the sun draws light.

I will lie here and leave at sunset.

No.

It is forbidden.

Go.

This instant.

[POLITICIAN ON TELEVISION SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Ah!

Money?

Yes.

Oh, oh, there you go.

I'm sorry.

I don't have any more.

Move on.

Can I help you?

Yes, please.

I'm looking for Michelle Morgan.

Could you tell me if she's registered here?

One moment please.

May I help you?

Yes, I'm--I'm looking for Michelle Morgan.

Could you tell me if she's here please?

If you would be so kind, sit there.

Someone will be soon to help you.

Sit there.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you speak English? Yes?

Yes. Do you?

Mm, not so much.

I know from TV.

Um, Columbo, Streets of San Francisco, Big Bird.

It's funny, that Big Bird, yeah?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, you are looking for Michelle Morgan, yes?

Oh my god, what's wrong?

Uh, Mel Thompson, US Embassy.

Has something happened to Michelle?

Uh, please, don't get excited.

Everything's going to be just fine.

Please sit.

Uh, now, what is your relationship to Ms. Morgan?

Um, um, she's my sister.

Your name please?

May I see passport?

Rebecca Morgan.

Here. Who're you?

Uh, this is Lieutenant Marin of the Bucharest Police.

And as I said it earlier, I'm Mel Thompson, US Embassy.

Now, this may sound a little strange but yesterday

afternoon, your sister Michelle was found unconscious

in her hotel room.

Then she walked away from scene of the accident and

disappeared.

We think she may be suffering from shock.

She appeared to be dead.

I examined her myself.

Obvious misdiagnosis Lieutenant.

On behalf of the Department of Police I apologize for

terrible mistake.

According to witnesses at the accident, she

did not appear injured.

Now, we are confident she's going to turn up.

Your sister's possessions.

One thing more.

Do you know, what is this?

Uh, it looks like some kind of um, antique?

Looks expensive, huh?

You're not accusing her of stealing it, are you?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No evidence is stolen.

But before leaving Romania show us the receipt.
