You cannot run.

You belong to me, my love.

For now.

Forever.

You're my eternal husband.

There'll be my solace and my salvation.

Claudia? Are you all right?

I had this really weird dream last night. Totally freaked me out.

What was it about?

Okay. I was in the middle of a huge room. The only woman surrounded by men

white faces dressed in black.

Do you know what I was seeing?

Bad Al Jolton movie?

Vampires.

Interesting. You know, many psychologists believe that dreams are

into our subconscious.

Forget windows, Nigel. This was so real, I'm not even sure if it was a dream.

Well, some dreams can stay with us after we wake up.

What about hickeys? Can they stay too?

They suck the blood right out of me. These are the bruises.

Where were you last night, Claudia?

At that rave that I told you about. The rave? There's your answer.

Loud music, flashing lights, people in strange outfits.

You came home completely overstimulated, fell asleep, and the dreams reflected

the chaos in your psyche.

I did not get the hickeys at the rave, okay? I think I would have noticed that.

Well, you didn't notice you lost your dress at the last one. That was

Claudia, vampires do not exist.

What did you find out about vampires on the net, Claudia?

Nothing yet.

You asked Claudia to research vampires last night?

Yes, female vampires are known as lame.

Why would you want to know about such creatures?

Um, Eric Dalt.

Called me from Brussels yesterday.

He's convinced his girlfriend is one of them and that she's trying to kill him.

When Alami picks her man, she drives him mad and then drains the life out of

him. So was an artist.

She had an affair with Zeus. When his wife Hera found out, she turned her into

snake. But Hera couldn't kill her. Zeus wouldn't allow it.

And now the descendants of the Lame live forever, seducing men. They finally

kill with their love.

Eric's never been sick a day in his life.

He's been in the hospital for nearly a month now.

You're not suggesting... He's been to doctors all over Europe. No one knows

what's wrong with him. The only thing that can break a Lame's spell is the

sacred sundial that belonged to Zeus himself.

Here's a picture Eric sent me.

Her name's Suzanne.

Notice the symbol on her pendant?

That's the symbol of the Lame.

Don't be offended if he insults you and every member of his family living or

dead. It's just his way of saying hello.

You sound like a lovely person.

Eric? He's not there.

Who are you?

I'm Sidney Fox. You must be Suzanne?

You're the woman he called.

The professor.

Yes, and this is my assistant, Nigel. You didn't have to come. I can take care

of Eric.

We were just in town doing some research.

Anyway, you're too late.

Eric's disappeared.

Disappeared? The doctor told him he absolutely had to stay in bed. Of

did just the opposite.

Sounds like Eric. It is Eric.

He's a headstrong, stupid, self -centered egoist.

He shouldn't be up.

taken care of.

We'll find it.

How?

I wouldn't know where in Brussels to start looking.

I have an idea.

I first met Eric in a bar in Afghanistan. He was researching a novel.

This was Hangout in Brussels.

Eric's got women in watering holes all over the world.

Nice ambiance.

That's why he liked it. No distractions.

You always got drinking in your nightgown.

Sidney.

Mother of God, you made it.

You came alone, didn't you? She didn't follow you. No, she's back at the

hospital worried sick.

I don't wonder why. You look terrible.

I'm a dead man walking, Sid. What do you expect?

He's the twerp.

He's my assistant, Nigel.

Have you got a sitter?

You remind me of a woman I once... I told him you'd be polite.

The doctors can't figure out what's killing me.

But I know.

Suzanne is.

We met Suzanne at the hospital. She seemed pretty normal to me. I know what

seems like. She knocked me on my butt when I first met her.

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

You say that about all the women you fall in love with.

Suzanne was different.

There was something almost hypnotic about her.

Sex was unlike anything I've ever known. I started writing like I was possessed.

My best stuff ever.

It was just pouring out of me.

And then you just started feeling sick.

Just no strength, you know.

Like all the juices are being sucked out of me.

Maybe it was too much sex.

This is the classic pattern of the Lame spell.

The sundial is the only thing that can break it.

Suzanne belongs to this female artist group that holds retreats just outside

Brussels. Now, first I thought it was just a bunch of New Age feminist crap,

then I got sick.

Then I realized what she was.

A vampire.

Right.

And one time I followed her out to the estate where the retreats are held. I

the sundial.

You saw the sundial?

It was part of some ceremony they were conducting.

I was planning on stealing that damn thing next time, and then I got sick.

She knows that I know, Sid.

I'm running out of time.

Let's get you back to the hospital.

And we'll find the sundial.

It's too pillowed enough.

Enough to choke a damn horse.

Will you let me know if you want more?

You're so tight.

I feel like I'm in a mummy.

Visiting hours are over.

Yeah, I was just about to leave.

Everything's going to be fine.

Can I speak to you?

Outside?

Please let the directions to the estate and the retreat start at midnight.

Look for a woman named Emmanuel. She'll lead you to the sundial.

Hurry, Sid.

I know you and Eric are old friends, but whatever happened... Nothing ever

happened. ...was in the past.

I don't want Eric agitated or distracted from relaxing and getting well. All I

want is for Eric to get well, Suzanne. Nothing else.

Excusez -moi, monsieur.

It's, uh... It's quite so...

Well,

there you are.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing. I'm completely, totally beautiful.

Fine. That's what I meant.

Nigel!

Seriously, this is a bit far -fetched. I mean, female vampires draining the life

out of people.

Well, it's a strange place, Nigel. It's not that strange.

We'll see.

Sure we will. We always do.

Sydney, what is this?

It's an initiation ceremony of some sort.

Nigel!

You saw the sundial?

Damn it, you're good, Sid.

Yeah, I'm not that good. I lost Nigel. The women took him into the house.

Who?

Nigel, my friend you met yesterday.

Oh, the twerp, yeah.

Sorry. So the police won't be much help. The women technically haven't done

anything wrong.

And we were the ones that were trespassing.

Thelma, I've got to break into the house, get the sundial and Nigel out of

there. Good idea.

Yeah, easier said than done.

I would have gone in last night, but without knowing the layout and being

outnumbered.

It's a historical estate.

So the blueprints would be on file.

Yeah, you can access them online at the library.

One more question. Is there an occult shop nearby?

Yeah, the Black Dragon is just around the corner.

I told you to leave him alone, but you can't stay away, can you?

You're obsessed.

Obsessed? With Eric?

Don't blame Sydney.

I do that to women.

You're having an affair with him, aren't you?

I wouldn't have an affair with Eric if he were the last man on earth.

I'm hurt.

Sorry. You're in love with him. I'm a friend. That's it.

I don't believe you.

Hey.

I have lots of friends.

And if anyone tried to hurt one of them, they'd wish they never met me.

They brought him in last night?

Where is he?

In the storage room, but he belongs to Anna.

Has she started yet?

Emmanuel won't let her have him until after the pheromone.

Keep it down.

It's me.

Sydney, thank God.

What's with the cross?

It's not a cross. It's a martial arts move I saw in a movie once. It's called

the Deadly Candlestick X Maneuver.

It's quite lethal, actually.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Good.

Here, get this robe on.

Let's find that sundial.

Find the sundial?

Sidney, I've just been kidnapped and held against my will.

You said you were all right.

Oh, yes, physically.

But the psychological effects of such an abduction could be devastating.

The passion of a woman springs life eternal.

I'd like to go there.

It's got a nice view.

Where are we?

I have no idea.

They're all names of women.

Give me a hand.

It's not a woman, this is a man.

Suzanne? Eric Suzanne?

It's empty.

That may kill their men.

Yes, I recall.

I think these men were killed by the women whose names are on the coffin.

This must be Suzanne's trophy case for Eric.

Sydney, let's get out of here now. We'll call the police, have them investigate

all this. Eric's dying.

He's in a hospital being treated by professionals.

We need to find that sundial.

with your heart as well as your ears.

She has much to teach about the power of the feminine.

Women are the wellspring of life.

The past, the present, the future.

We give life and we take it.

We control the cycle of birth and death.

This is our legacy.

and our power.

We're the Alpha and the Omega.

I'll pass on the facial. Oil makes me break out!

It's almost midnight. Gotta go!

I've been waiting for you for such a long time.

I've seen you before. You have?

Last night.

Oh, my God.

Look!

I'm not into that trip, okay?

I'll bet you're not.

Package for Sidney Fox.

Can you sign for it? Oh, yeah, right. Like you're a delivery person.

My day job.

At night, I'm a slayer.

I knew it.

It's a band.

The Slayers.

Huh? You were there last night.

You're a slayer?

Yeah.

Cool office.

Yeah. My idea.

If you would just sign here.

This is the way to my room.

I knew you'd find it.

You did?

I should be, uh... Come.

You must forgive me.

Have you seen Sidney? I really...

Do you know why you've come

to us?

It's all just a silly mistake. I should have signed up for the retreat instead

of crashing it. How much is the weekend?

You have an extraordinary power that many search for and never find.

You will make a fine teacher of women.

Pass. I've already got a day job.

Meanwhile, there's a guy in a hospital that thinks his girlfriend's killing

She is.

Eric Dalt will be Suzanne's initiation into the Order.

Which Order would that be?

The spiritual descendants of Queen Lamia herself.

Call me crazy, but I don't think Suzanne's a type.

She has no idea it's her power that is killing Eric.

The first kill is always done in pure innocence.

After that, the killing is done consciously.

Sounds like fun.

We only kill to free our men from their bodies.

But why? That's the best part.

We take their lives and save their souls.

And they think that's a fair trade -off.

We give men joy they've never experienced before.

And then you kill them. Is that really necessary?

Necessary.

And quite pleasurable, as you'll see.

I don't think so. I really kind of like men. Well, most of them, anyway. I'm

definitely not into killing them.

You will be very soon.

You are very disturbing to me.

Me? Disturbing?

I'm actually a very undisturbing sort of person. Boring.

No. You're very exciting.

I felt your power the first time I saw you.

Really? My power?

Yes.

You're a very creative man.

And very sexual.

That's very kind, but... We watched you and

the woman.

We let you come here.

Why? Because we wanted you.

Emmanuel gave you to me.

It's a special treat.

A treat?

What about Sidney?

She's being well taken care of.

To your health, my love.

This is fantastic.

What is it?

Ambrosia.

Once made for Zeus himself.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Savor the taste.

I want it all.

And you saw it. All my love.

You know what I've always wanted to do?

Tell me.

Paint.

You have noticed, though.

I think I do. I mentioned it to my father once, but he didn't tell.

I understand.

You don't need to struggle.

We're about to give you a precious gift.

Oh, don't do that. I get uncomfortable when people give me things.

I do need a new clock, though. The sundial belonged to Zeus.

The shadows cast by it channel his spirit to us.

Shadows also break the spells you cast on your men, don't they?

Hera was a jealous wife.

She wanted to make sure Lamia would never be able to seduce her husband

So she turned her into a snake. Good idea.

Usually turn off to most men.

But Hera couldn't kill Lamia.

Prepare yourself.

For what?

We haven't even been properly introduced yet.

I hate hitting women.

I

was

right. You have the power.

We need you here.

Here is history. So are you and your sisters.

No.

We are forever.

Nothing is forever.

Seinfeld, perfect example.

Give me that sundial.

No!

I'm okay.

What about Emmanuel?

We need to find Nigel and get this thing to the hospital.

We're scared.

Where is Nigel?

I think I know.

I heard a man's voice in this room. I'm sure of it.

Anthony, we've got to go now.

No, no, no. I've got to finish this.

What have I done?

What's the bad stuff look like?

We've got to leave. No, I can't. I won't.

Leave him alone.

No,

actually, he's mine.

I mean, in a manner of speaking. Get out of here.

I'm out with Nigel.

Never.

Stop with the never. What's with you women and never? I'll be with you in

sec.

You're part -time.

What are you doing?

Thieving your butt you'll thank me in the morning.

I'm barely getting a pulse.

We've got to get a doctor.

A doctor can't help him now.

He's dying. We've got to do something.

Only the sundial can break the spell.

He's your man, so you have the power of life and death over him.

But you have to will him to live.

It's not working. You have the power. You just have to believe in it.

Believe in yourself.

Believe in your love for Eric.

That's all that matters.

What's going on?

Eric!

You're alive!

I'm not short of.

You got the sundial.

You saved my butt, Sid.

Oh, I didn't do anything.

I'm not sure the sundial did either.

What did, then?

It was the power of love.

What the hell does that mean?

I think I'll let Suzanne explain that to you.

How are you feeling?

Oh, horrible.

Sorry about the jaw.

No, not that.

That woman.

Sidney, I couldn't resist her. I didn't even want her to. I wanted everything.

I know.

It was totally exhilarating. It was unbelievable.

You've been there.

If you hadn't come along, I don't know what would have happened.

Thanks. No problem.

She wasn't your type anyway, Nigel. Too old.

Positively ancient.

What happened? I thought vampires frightened you.

Actually, I find the whole thing very sexy.

Children of the night, neck biting, the undead, bloodthirst.

Claudia, you got a paper cut last week and begged me to rush you to the

emergency room.

I've decided to discover my dark side.

As opposed to your usual bright, sunny, charitable self.

I just want to be open to self -exploration.

I'm a very open -minded person.

Mm -hmm.

You met a goth guy.

Mm -hmm.

He is so hot, and I'm so totally into this new scene. I spent hundreds on the

clothes, the hair, the new makeup.

Oh.

Ancient studies.

Hi, Matt.

What? No way.

No way. I don't think so.

What's the matter?

That was Matt.

He had an intense religious experience this weekend.

Invited me to go to an ash can with him.

I think he was talking about an ashram.

It's like a Hindu spiritual temple.

Well, this is so unfair. I mean, what am I supposed to do with all this gothic

junk? Well, Halloween is only... A long time from now.

So this ashram stuff, is it hip?

It's been hip.

on and off since the 60s, many people think it's psychedelic.

Psychedelic?

I could look hot in psychedelic.

Maybe we should watch her.

Why? You know, these ashrams can be cultish. She could get brainwashed.

No, you have to exchange those outfits.

I have just had, like, a very deep and meaningful spiritual experience. And if

you don't do the exchange,

pants off you oh and um i'll take one of those things or whatever you call them

in red claudia brainwashed they need a lot of soap
