NARRATOR: He was brought across in 1228.

Preyed on humans for their blood.

Now he wants to be mortal again...

to repay society for his sins...

to emerge from his world of darkness...

from his endless forever night.

[GROWLS]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy?

It's a tie.

Betty Anne McKensie.

Most deranged serial killers.

Who's Betty Anne McKensie?

August 16, '74.

Betty Anne murders three children.

She binds and gags the parents,

and makes them watch.

Kills the children slowly.

The parents commit suicide in the next two years.

Why'd she do it?

She said it was fun.

You're making this up, captain.

We would've read about it.

No, no. You gotta remember,

back in those days, that kind of sickness was reserved

for the underground tabloid rags.

I mean-- We bitch about the news nowadays,

but we have things like Child Watch.

We got stalker laws now.

First defense against evil:

Open your damn eyes.

[PHONE RINGS]

Homicide, Detective Knight.

GIRL: There's a corpse in the Raven.

Who is this?

[DIAL TONE HUMMING]

[♪]

[GRUNTS]

Heh. Uh, it's not what you think.

How disappointing.

VACHON: A--

Actually, it's, uh--

I asked him to come here.

I was afraid.

Of...?

I was asleep downstairs, and I had a nightmare of...

children with their heads cut off.

And when I woke up...

I'm sure I was awake.

And there was a headless child standing over me.

And then she was just gone.

So I came up here to call Vachon,

and that's when I felt a presence.

A presence?

Something was here.

I don't know what, but...

it was evil.

Yes. Well, this is all very interesting...

but I do have a club to open.

[SLOW BREATHING]

[BREATHING QUICKENS[

[♪]

[CLOSES DOOR]

Can you not feel another presence in here, Father?

Yes.

What do you feel?

Evil.

KNIGHT: Put your hands where we can see them...

please.

[SIGHS]

I think you'll find what you're looking for...

here.

And there.

[REFRIGERATOR OPENS]

You have no idea how the body got there? None.

No thoughts on who the victim might be, Mr. Lacroix?

No.

Who has access to your club during off-hours?

No one.

You do have a staff, don't you?

Presumably the fridges were

stocked after closing time.

When was that?

Six a.m.

Although I don't recall any of my staff reporting

discovering a decapitated corpse in the beer fridge.

Assuming you didn't put it there after they left.

Yes. Assuming that.

You spent the night at home?

The club is my home.

I went for a stroll shortly after sundown.

I can only assume that the body was deposited while I was away.

Right.

Someone breaks in,

stuffs a corpse into a fridge

and gift-wraps its head for you,

just for the hell of it.

It's my understanding that discovering a motive

is your job.

Perhaps you should call a lawyer.

Of course, we'd have to read you your rights in that case.

The charge is murder one.

[CHUCKLES]

You may charge me with murder if you wish...

based on the evidence, naturally.

I want him held

as a material witness.

Your associates are not without character.

And your associates,

who might have been sleeping in the basement?

They had nothing to do with this.

You know that.

But I have a question for you.

How did your people come to know

about the body in the first place?

An anonymous tip.

He may not be guilty of this,

but he sure as hell is guilty of something.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Thanks for coming by on such short notice.

You forget, time is relative.

The guy who owns the Raven, Lacroix?

Uh-huh.

We got a tip about a murder there.

All we found was Lacroix and a victim

whose head had been severed from its body.

We're holding Lacroix as a material witness.

MAN: Why bother?

[WHOOSH]

[SIGHS]

It's warmer in here.

Is Lacroix one of you?

No.

Well, there was something there.

It was a presence.

It felt evil.

If it wasn't Lacroix, then what was it?

Tracy, it's natural

to get a little rattled by severed heads.

Don't run me around here, Vachon.

You know what I mean.

Evil is a part of you.

Maybe that's why we'd never work.

What?

It's in you.

I can feel it, and it scares me.

What's that got to do

with what happened at the Raven?

I don't know.

I was hoping you could tell me.

Sorry.

Will you do me a favor?

Sure, anything.

Uh, give me a call when you get home.

[PANTING]

See you later.

[PANTING]

Huh.

[WOMAN SOBBING]

[WEEPING]

Hey!

You okay?

Did someone hurt you?

[BONES CRUNCHING, VACHON GROANS]

Lucius hurt me.

My father.

My son.

He betrayed me,

even after I raised him from the ashes of Pompeii.

You will pay for his sin.

[HISSES]

[VACHON SCREAMS]

[SIGHS]

[♪]

Yeah, captain. What's the word?

REESE [OVER SPEAKERPHONE]: The word is:

Are you sitting down?

Egyptian police came back with a positive

on the Raven fridge-crasher.

His name is Hamid Karam.

He and his brother Hasheem are, um...

grave robbers.

Egypt?

They were sacking a sarcophagus in a burial chamber.

Some priest named Ioiatepe, in the Valley of the Kings.

According to the report,

the brother lost radio contact with Hamid about 24 hours ago.

When he checked the tomb, there was no sign of Hamid.

Only his radio and a little blood.

Are you there?

Yeah, captain.

Just a little dumbfounded, I guess.

[SIGHS]

We have a major problem here, people.

See, we're not the only ones wondering how in the hell

an Egyptian national

skips town, presumably dead,

and winds up a day later in a Toronto beer fridge.

Now, what do you folks have?

Uh, well,

time of death is about 24 hours.

Cause of death, not to get too technical about it,

I, uh--

would say he was torn to shreds.

By what?

Well, I was going to say that it was a wild animal,

but considering he was in a burial chamber,

I guess that doesn't make much sense, does it?

Well, the time frame is enough to smuggle a body into Canada.

No wild animal did that.

Figure out who did.

Later.

[DIAL TONE HUMMING]

NATALIE: Oh, come on.

There has got to be some kind of a rational explanation for this.

I guess that clears Lacroix.

Yeah. I guess so.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Clearly, I have a future

as a sobering influence on the disenfranchised.

You're to be released.

Lack of evidence.

Your refrigerated friend was Hamid Karam,

a grave robber.

He was looting an ancient burial chamber

in the Valley of Kings:

the tomb of Ioiatepe.

The tomb of Ioiatepe,

chief priest of the pharaoh Akhenaton.

The son of the sun god Re'-Atum, lord of heaven...

Or some such nonsense.

His is the middle one,

flanked by two other priests.

Or so the people believe.

Why have you brought me here, Divia?

It is him...

my master,

my true father.

He chose me.

Created me before Vesuvius erupted.

The healer.

The ancient one.

Karad.

Said to be among the first of our kind.

He lived before the pyramids were built.

Long before.

Then why is he in this place?

It is here that he was destroyed...

staked, scorched by the sun...

then interred

with the symbol of the sun god to imprison him for all time.

But who did this?

Did you take revenge on his killer?

I could hardly have done so, Lucius...

since I killed him.

KNIGHT: Lacroix.

Yes, well, I've played according to your rules

for long enough, detective.

If I'm to be released, release me.

Officer.

WOMAN: Javier?

Vachon?

I know you're here.

[SCREAMS]

What are you doing?

Huh. Uh...

Make them stop.

Please, make it stop.

Make what stop, Vachon? Make what stop?

The killing.

I can't stop the killing.

Men, women...

and children, especially children.

[GROANS]

I see them killing and being killed.

I can't stand the pleasure.

Vachon, look at me. Look at me.

Ohh. Urs.

Who did this to you?

Daughter...

mother...

Daughter, not the mother.

What's happening to you?

I mean, I see her vision,

her memories.

Whose visions? Whose memories?

Who did this to you? Who attacked you?

She was so strong,

evil...

just a child.

[SCREAMING]

[GROANING]

Get out, Urs.

Get out!

Before you are destroyed here,

staked and scorched by the sun.

Javier, I--

Urs, go. Please?

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

[RINGS]

Vetter.

VACHON: Tracy?

I know who's doing this.

I know why that body was in the Raven.

Vachon?

[VACHON SCREAMING]

Vachon?

[♪]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

LACROIX: The cruelest evil is not some wretched entity

manifest in cloven hooves and bleating goat's head,

but how like a child,

its soft cries

the sound of all that should be cherished and protected.

A father takes a child into his heart in pure love...

unawares.

Hardly a day passed that I didn't think of you,

and...your daughter.

I had word that she was sick,

and then healed as if by magic.

Indeed. There came a healer.

An ancient one sent by the gods.

He asked to be alone with her.

Divia rose from her bed that very night.

She's well then. Very.

The gods be praised.

I must see her.

No, Lucius.

I would rather you did not.

MAN: Selene?

Well...

I must see to my other guests.

Selene.

We must spend time.

We shall, Lucius.

We shall.

If that girl be alive and well

then I'm a gladiator.

Divia?

[CHUCKLES]

Divia.

LACROIX: A child's innocence and purity knows no bounds.

Neither does its cruelty

when evil comes upon its soul.

[RINGS]

DIVIA: Hello, Lucius.

It's been a very long time.

Shouldn't all good little girls be in bed by this time?

But I'm not that kind of girl.

You know that.

But do you know what it's like

to be betrayed by your own child?

To be left alone in the darkness?

Hmm. I didn't think so.

But you will know soon enough,

as your friends die,

and the fear of death drives those still alive

away from you.

Then you'll understand how it feels to be betrayed...

and alone.

[DIAL TONE HUMMING]

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

Hello?

URS: It's Urs.

I have to talk to you.

Come on up.

[♪]

[HISSING]

TRACY: Vachon?

Vachon, what happened?

Vachon?

What are you doing here?

You have to get out. Now.

Who did this to you?

Vachon, talk to me.

You said you knew who the murderer is.

[♪] Vachon--

Her thoughts are becoming my thoughts.

[SCREAMING]

It's all right.

It's okay.

Your wounds will heal.

I'm not healing.

I'm dying.

NATALIE: I still don't know

what killed her.

Could it be what killed Hamid Karam?

Sure. The probability is high.

Why didn't Urs regenerate?

How could she be killed

if she wasn't staked or decapitated?

What exactly are we dealing with?

Look, this might sound...

ridiculous,

but could it be some new breed of vampire?

DIVIA: Hello, Lucius. It's been a very long time.

A new breed or a very, very old one.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING INSIDE]

Who is she?

The young girl, Lacroix. What is she to you?

What is it?

"It"?

"It" is something that I've never told you.

Something too painful for even me to discuss.

She said you go back a long way.

Did you bring her across?

Still listening to the show. I'm flattered.

Urs is dead.

You see what my young friend is doing?

One by one,

people around me will be killed,

till I'm left alone and as isolated

as I left her.

The word is out.

Being in Lacroix's company can be fatal.

She will kill all of you...

because of me.

Because you brought her across?

[CHUCKLES]

No. I did not bring Divia across.

Then who is she?

MAN: General! General!

Come quickly!

The mountain! Vesuvius is on fire!

Do you want to die or live?

You only have moments to decide.

The gods cannot destroy me.

They don't have the power!

Come on!

Come on!

I've defeated enemies more powerful than you!

[GASPING]

[GROANS]

Let go your mortal bonds, general.

We must survive at any cost.

Life can cheat death.

It will always find a way.

Live or die? What is your decision?

To live, Divia.

To live.

She brought you across?

Spared me the fate of countless thousands...

buried alive under a mountain of ash.

Why did Divia save you?

She is my daughter.

Now you understand why I never told you who my master is.

One could say that you're related.

But she saved you back then.

Why does she want to hurt you now?

Where has she been?

Twenty years after Pompeii,

I thought her dead and buried...

along with the guilt...

and the secret that one dare not share...

But perhaps it is time...

to share that secret.

I've upset you.

I didn't mean to.

Does it not trouble you

to have killed your own master?

Why should it?

[SCOFFS]

He was an ancient.

His knowledge of our past, of our very beginnings,

was worthy of respect.

You think I was wrong.

You think I'm cruel and unfeeling.

I didn't say that.

Yes, you did!

I see how you're looking at me.

After all I've done for you,

how can you stand in judgment?

Divia, I know...

that I am here because of you.

And I am eternally grateful.

But he made you!

And thought he controlled me.

He said he brought me across because I was young

and my evil was as pure as he had ever seen.

But then he tried to harness it,

to make me in his image.

That could not be.

I would choose my own way.

I did what I had to do to ensure that.

Lucius.

I want us both to experience everything

that our nature offers...

without restriction.

[SIGHS]

You don't understand, do you?

We are free to do as we please.

To kill as often as we desire.

Bathe in mortal flesh and blood.

To do everything that is forbidden.

No one can stop us.

Everything we lust after can be ours.

Including love.

Let us do what must not be done.

Make love to me, Father.

Divia...

no!

Come to me, Lucius. Do as I say.

You are my daughter!

Daughter, mother, lover.

Why can't I be all three?

You need someone to love, Lucius,

and I need you.

[HISSES] Yes. Come.

Touch me.

What can be said about a man that kills his own daughter?

I put her remains in the sarcophagus.

The sun god on the lid acted on her

in much the same way as the cross does on us.

That grave robber must have broken the seal.

You had no choice but to destroy her.

I had a choice.

I could have done as Divia asked.

And despised yourself for it.

No more so than I do now.

As a general in the Emperor's army,

I visited suffering upon my enemies

in unspeakable ways.

I've seen evil on this earth in all its forms.

And yet there was an evil in my own child

that I couldn't bear to look upon.

An evil that she inherited from me,

magnified a hundred times

by the one who brought her across.

My beautiful daughter.

How did she regenerate...

let alone survive all those years?

Perhaps the evil that permeated the tomb sustained her.

I don't know. Does it really matter?

Do you think she'll come after you?

Not quite yet.

There's more killing to be done, after all.

If you need me...

Thank you, Nicholas.

[SIGHS]

You have to do it.

You have to kill me.

No.

I'll die anyway.

I know that now.

Please, Tracy.

No. Vachon, don't ask me again.

There's a wooden stake...

in that box.

Over there.

Get it.

Get it!

[♪]

Bury it deep.

It has to go right through my heart.

No, I can't.

You have to.

Vachon...

[ROARS]

[CRUNCHING]

[EXHALES]

Tracy...

I'm here.

Wish me luck.

KNIGHT: We've got nothing on him.

You telling me Lacroix doesn't exist?

Not to us, he doesn't. He's clean.

And his staff?

Well, we've checked. All accounted for.

They're clean.

So we just write it off, huh?

Shrug and put it down to ghosts or aliens or something?

Come on, Nick. The truth is out there.

Yeah, but maybe just not in our jurisdiction.

Where's my partner, by the way?

She didn't tell you?

No, of course not.

Why should she? She's only your partner.

She said something about going to see a snitch.

[♪]

[SNIFFLING]

I never got to tell you how I felt about you.

Or maybe you knew.

I hope you did.

You changed me.

You opened my eyes, and I'll always--

I'll always love you for that.

I'll take you to Screed.

You can be with your friend.

There was nothing I could do for her.

There's no one she can talk to about Vachon.

I'm afraid that I am gonna find myself

in exactly the same situation.

You've got a 2000-year-old little girl

who is out to kill anyone who was close to her daddy.

And no one is closer than you.

Don't worry.

I'll watch my back.

[♪]

[FLAMES CATCH]

Divia.

He told you about me.

You know why I'm here.

You've come to kill me.

Don't take it personally...

but you are Lacroix's son.

Your death will be the final blow.

It will be worse for you if you try to fight me...

but that's up to you.

Ready?

[♪]

[GRUNTING]

[HISSES]

[GRUNTING]

If I didn't know better

I'd almost say that you had grown, my dear.

In all the centuries I've had to think of you,

and what you might be doing...

I never imagined you would rise

to the lofty position of innkeeper.

But...

in my as yet brief taste of freedom,

I found that nothing in the world is as I expected...

or ever dreamt.

Why are you here, Divia?

To gloat?

Why not?

I've won.

You're alone.

Now, perhaps,

you can begin to feel what it was like for me.

The centuries I'd expected to spend loving you

and caring for you...

spent instead

in darkness and isolation.

You cannot imagine the hatred I have for you.

How could you have done that to me, Father?

I loved you.

[SCREAMS]

You are a sick, depraved little girl.

I always thought evil was a finite entity,

until you showed me otherwise.

Even I have my limits, Divia.

Then you are as weak as those we preyed upon.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

[GRUNTING]

Say you're sorry.

You should've stayed dead.

You're in pain.

[GROANS] How I wished to see that.

Well, now your wish has come true...

and all that remains is for you to kill me.

And deny you the pain and loneliness?

No.

You must exist forever

with the knowledge that you destroyed

everyone who was dear to you:

your friends, lovers,

daughter, mother.

And now your son.

What do you mean?

Nicholas I believe was his name.

One always recognizes family.

But he was your favorite...

wasn't he?

[YELLS]

Ah!

[BONES CRACKING]

Your son is dead.

How does that feel?

Tell me how that feels.

[SCREAMS]

I'm not gonna let you leave here, Divia.

There's enough misery in the world already.

Oh. But there's always room for more.

Are you going to stop me, general?

You and, as they say,

whose army?

[HISSES]

[GROANING, GASPING]

Poor father.

Does it hurt?

Tell me where it hurts.

Do you feel this?

[GROANS]

Say you're sorry.

Tell me that you love me.

Go on. Say it.

If you kill me,

my suffering will be over.

You know...

I'm not sure that's true.

Damnation, when I come to think of it,

is a fitting sentence for your crime.

Recognize this,

Father?

When we were mortal,

I loved you more than the gods.

But now...

how could anyone love anything as grotesque as you?

[CHOKING, GASPING]

[SICKLE DROPS]

Father...

Divia-- No.

Don't let me die.

Divia. No!

Father...

[WHIMPERING]

[SIGHS]

LACROIX: They say that there's no greater suffering

for a parent than to outlive his child.

Fortunately, there are exceptions.

I never thought I'd say this, Nicholas,

but for once, I'm glad of your insistent search

for your humanity.

Perhaps your resurgent goodness

was all that was needed to defeat Divia's evil.

Urs and Vachon were young.

They did not know how to deal with it.

I'm sorry for your loss, Lacroix.

Thank you.

Urs' body?

I've had Natalie take care of that.

And Vachon?

Tracy buried him next to Screed.

She knows what they were.

Indeed.

Is this going to be a problem?

Vachon once told me she's a resister...

but...

I've seen you work around that.

What exactly would you like her to remember?

That Vachon was a good friend.

A vampire who decided it was time to move on.

A vampire?

The knowledge of our existence was Vachon's gift to her.

We have no right to take that away.

If that is what you wish.

I will stay here with Divia...

until her body has turned to ashes,

and then commit them to the wind.

I may even say a prayer.

Good night, Lacroix.

Nicholas.
