Stefan, she is coming.

[ sizzling ]

[ groaning ]

[ growls ]

Yeah, I'll be there
in just one second.

MAN:
Hey, Trey, let's go.

Man 2:
Sweet, bro.

[ music playing ]

Let me see.

[ sighs ]

[ gasps ]

I'm sorry.

[ laughs ]

Hey, I'm Nicole.
You must be Charlotte, right?

From the all girls
Catholic school?

Yeah, San Marino's.
Right, yeah.

They send out that stupid
bio thing about your roomie.

Yeah, I got it too.
Are you from around here?

Sort of.

That must be nice.

Mm, debatable.

Plus my parents live,
like, an hour away,

so you know they're
going to be dropping

in at all the wrong times.

Maybe we could coordinate,

get the parents' visits
done at the same time?

Oh, my parents
won't be coming.

How come?

I don't have any.

Oh.

I'm sorry,
I...didn't mean to pry.

I mean, they didn't
put that in the bio.

It's okay.

It was a long time ago.

So you're here on some sort
of athletic scholarship, right?

Fencing.
Right.

Oh, my friend Eliza's
on the team.

Oh, it'll be nice to meet her.

Oh, you will, but nice
is subjective.

She's kind of an acquired taste.

Do you need help bringing
in the rest of your stuff?

No, this is everything.

Oh.

Cool.
[ laughs ]

I'm actually going to head
down to the campus center,

get something to eat.

Do you want to come?
I have a job interview.

Really?
Where?

The coffeehouse on Main.

Oh, my friend Chris
is the manager there.

Is he nice?
Oh, he's great.

He's super nice.

That's probably
why we're just friends.

See you later.
See you.

[ door opens, closes ]

I worked at an Italian
coffee shop for two years.

Really, how do you make
a macchiato?

Freshly ground
and brewed espresso

with a dollop of milk,
froth 260 degrees.

And then you just pour
in the steamed milk

to finish it off?

Yeah, if they ordered
a cappuccino, not a macchiato.

But then again,
I didn't work

at one of those
big chain coffeehouses

where everything you order
turns into a latte.

Coffee is--one thing,
but dealing with a rowdy mob

of hung over college
seniors is another,

so maybe I'll--start
you off slow.

A few afternoon shifts
till you get more comfortable?

That sound good?

Yeah, sounds great.
Great.

What size are you?
Excuse me?

Size...
Our uniform.

Just a simple skirt
and a black top.

Exactly--how you wear
it is totally up to you,

but, yeah,
some of the girls

really work
for their tips.

Oh, small.
Small, okay, great.

I'll go grab one.
Okay.

Thanks.

♪ Looking better...

Oh...
Close the blinds, please.

Oh, excuse me.
I'm sorry.

It's impossible not be drawn
to the views here,

but I've just
had laser surgery,

and my eyes
are quite sensitive.

Oh, of course.

Now, I'm sorry I'm late.

You must
be Charlotte Hawthorn.

It's nice to meet you,
Dr. Duncan.

Likewise.
Please, have a seat.

How are you finding
everything?

It's great.

You all settled in?

Pretty much.
Hmm.

The Trust Scholarship.

Personally, I find
it quite an accomplishment

for someone who's been
through what you have.

But I think that's
what the Trust saw in you,

real character.

I promise to do whatever
it takes

to not let anyone down.

Well, I can't pretend
it's going to be easy.

You're going
to be put through a lot,

full course load,
new environment,

the fencing team.

That's
a lot of pressure.

And you have an obligation
to perform.

The scholarship
is by no means unconditional.

Thanks.

I'll be fine.

'Cause there's
no going back.

It's not really
an option.

I--have to get going.

Please, Charlotte,
I want you to think of me

as a resource, hmm?

Anything you need,
anything at all,

my door
is always open.

I appreciate that.
Okay.

My pleasure.

[ door closes ]

[ indistinct whispering ]

[ whispering continues ]

[ gasps ]

Take--it easy.

You trying to k*ll somebody?

I'm sorry.
That's all right.

But you shouldn't be walking
alone at night, Charlotte.

Do I know you?

Professor Cole.

I teach
English literature here,

as well as being
your new fencing coach.

Nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

I believe you're fencing
for me this season.

Yes, I am.
I'll see you in practice.

Okay.

Oh, for protection.

[ water running ]

ELIZA:
Hurry up.

NICOLE:
I'm hurrying.

I'm hurrying.

ELIZA:
Just pick an outfit.

It's not a big deal.

NICOLE:
Yeah, it is a big deal.

ELIZA:
Put something on, anything.

[ sighs ]

And this over here
is interesting

in a thrift store kind of way.

What's she like?

I just met her.
She seems nice.

ELIZA:
Oh, "nice."

NICOLE:
Shut up.

Oh, and here she is.

Charlotte, Eliza.

Eliza, Charlotte.

Hi.

Charlotte's
on the fencing team.

No sh*t?

I don't see it.
Mm-hmm.

Scholarship and everything.

You know that there's
a new fencing coach.

The last one had
a terrible accident

and is dead as disco.

Eliza.

I just met him.
Oh, really?

You met the dead guy?
[ scoffs ]

[ laughs ]
The new coach.

Is he as hot
as everyone says?

I don't know.
He seemed interesting.

Interesting?

Did he show you his sword?

Oh, Eliza.
Ow!

Oh, come on.
What?

Really?

You need to make
an impression tonight.

What's the matter
with this?

t*ts up, a*s out.

Do you want to come,
Charlotte?

I don't know.

She doesn't know.

Come on.

I had a busy day.

Maybe some other time.

Yeah, maybe another time.

Okay, how do I look?

Oh, I'd f*ck you.
Now let's go!

Okay, let's go, sl*t.

[ laughter ]

Mary freaking Charlotte.
She's a virgin.

Be nice.

Oh, Nicole, another
little project for you.

It's like reality TV.

The Real Students
of North Summit.

[ crowd murmuring ]

Hey, did you hear that?

Yeah, that's what
I came out here to see.

It's crazy.

[ murmuring continues ]

[ man laughs ]

Uh...
[ gasps ] Oh, my...

I'm sorry.
Charlotte.

[ laughs ]

Charlotte.

Please,
you can come out now.

I'm so sorry.

I got home and you weren't here.
I thought you slipped out.

No.

I'm sorry.
I should have knocked.

Knock?

This is your room, too.

Where'd you go, anyway?

I went for a walk.

In your nightgown?

[ chuckles ]

[ chuckles ]

[ ticking ]

Oh, I have class
in, like, 20 minutes.

[ sighs ]
I have Mythology.

Me, too, do you want to walk
to class together?

Yeah.

I saw Chris at the party
last night.

Yeah?
Mm-hmm.

He thinks you're cute.

Really?
Mm-hmm.

Cute is death.
We got to work on that.

[ shower running ]

I hope you don't mind
me asking,

but are you okay?

I--saw your
bag in the bathroom.

That's an awful
lot of medicine.

I've got vaso-thalassemia.
It's a blood disorder.

Sounds awful.

Is it serious?

It's hereditary.

They expected
it to be much worse,

but they say my body's strong.
I keep fighting it off.

Is that what
your mother had?

Yeah, that's what
she died from.

So you have
no other family at all?

Mm, nope.

Well, you do now.

[ overlapping chatter ]

Ahem!

Welcome, everyone.

Hello, Professor Cole.

I can see this is gonna
be an easy class to attend.

[ laughs ]

Monsters.

Myth, reality?

Maybe a combination of both.

These glorified monsters

have graced the pages
of our literature,

our plays, our cinema...

[ chuckles ]
...our nightmares,

even our very religions.

But is it all fictional?

Fairy tale?

Can we not draw similarities
between, say,

a devil...

and a vampire?

Or better yet,

a dinosaur and a dragon?

Or a Neanderthal...

to an ogre?

[ gasps ]

Are you okay?

Are these myths
primitive man's quest

to answer
the unanswerable?

Is there a connection

between these myths,
these creatures,

and all of us?

The subject of this semester

will be to answer
that very question

by following
the clue trail

through literature
and art of the ages

[ students laugh ]
Oh.

[ laughs ]

That's a scary beast.

He's your coach too?
Let's open up...

Jeez, maybe I should
take up fencing.

♪ Green and blue

♪ Just like me...

Thanks.

You look great.
[beeping]

[ chuckles ]
I don't know.

[ laughs ]
No, trust me, you do.

Jeez.
Nice reflexes.

Um...

just fluff.

Hate to see what you do

to the guy who holds a door
open for you.

Sorry.
Just trying to help.

Hey.
Hello.

Hello again.

You're new?

Yeah, it's my first day.
Well, second.

What can I get you?

Charlotte, this is Daciana.
She's a regular.

Oolong tea with
a splash of milk,

but she'll want to watch
you add the milk.

Just go with it.

Your necklace,

where did you get it?

It was my mother's.

May I?

It's a bloodstone.

Devenit un vinator.

Devenit un--vinator.

I don't understand
what you're saying.

Here you go.
Okay.

[ gasps ]

You must come
see me right away.

Okay.

You come soon.

Well, that was weird,

even by her standards.

[ overlapping chatter ]

[ toilet flushing ]

Well, if it isn't
Sister Mary Charlotte.

What's up, scholarship queen?

Hey.

"Hey"?

I'm the squad captain.

You'll address me as such.
We clear, rookie?

Okay, yeah.

Captain.

Don't let the schoolgirl
thing throw you.

I hear she's a cutthroat
with the foil.

Oh, we'll have
to see about that.

Fencers at the ready.

En garde.

Single lunge, go.

En garde.

Again, go.

Nice lines, Charlotte.

Very nice lines.

En garde.

Relax, ladies.

Sarah, I want you to fence
with Charlotte.

Ladies,
step off the piste, please.

Fencers, salute.

Fencers, ready?

Yes.
Yes.

En garde.

Fence.

[ grunts ]
Point Charlotte.

Sarah, take a seat.

Eliza.

Take her down.

Fencers, salute.

Fencers, ready?
Yes!

Yes.
En garde.

Fence.

[ yelps ]
Point Charlotte.

GIRL:
Whoa.

[ team murmuring ]

GIRL 2:
Eliza's pissed.

Good job.
[ sword tapping ]

Did you hear the coach?

He's like,
"Good job, Charlotte."

Basically, "You're my new
favorite, Charlotte."

Hey, Eliza.

[ laughs ]

Chris.
Hey.

Heard some of the girls

mumbling your name
as they left.

Yeah, I had a really
good practice.

I don't think that's
what they were saying.

What are you doing here?

Oh, you left without
your share of the tips.

Oh, I could have
gotten this later.

Yeah, but you just started,
so you're not gonna

get your first paycheck
for a couple weeks.

That was really nice.

It's not that
big a deal.

I was passing through anyway.
So where you headed?

The library.
I have to study.

Wow, you're driven.
Do you sleep?

Not enough.

Yeah, my freshman year,
I didn't sleep much either.

When I did, it was usually
in class.

Yeah, I can't--do that.

Well, you are rooming
with Nicole, aren't you?

Yeah, why?

Her and Eliza
like to go out a lot.

I've noticed that.

They're going to drag
you into their world.

No, they're not.
Oh, really?

Stubborn.

No, I'm just determined.

Charlotte.
Hi.

Everything okay?

Um, this is Chris.

He's my manager
at the coffee shop I work at.

Dr. Duncan, how are you?
Hello, Chris.

Long time.
Nice to see you.

I'll--see you Tuesday.

Yeah.
Okay.

It looked as though you had
an excellent practice today.

Yeah.

Let's just make sure

you keep your focus
where it should be.

Hmm?

Of course.

[ whispering ]
Let's go, rookie, now.

Up on the chairs.

Get up, ladies.

You're such a p*ssy.

It's going to be real
simple, ladies.

I'll ask you the questions,

and if you answer
them correctly,

you don't drink
and keep your clothes on.

GIRL:
Make sure you stay

warm over there,
suckers.

KELLY:
Answer three correctly,

and you get to step down
and join the team.

Easy enough, right?

If you get them wrong,
you drink

and you lose
an item of clothing.

[ laughter ]

If you fall off your podium,
you drink and undress.

If you make
some sissy little face,

you drink and undress.

If you talk,
you drink and undress.

I...

I--don't drink.

[ girls laugh ]

You don't drink?
Well, you do now, sister.

You just talked.
Drink, let's go.

Don't make me force you.

Come on.

Chug it.

There, granny panties.

Here's another.

All right, ret*rds.
First question.

What year did fencing
become an Olympic sport?

[ laughter ]

They don't know.

Pathetic.
Drink up.

It was 1896, ret*rds.

Chug it back.
Clothing off, let's go.

Want to see some ta-tas.

Take it off, ladies.

I could do this
all night, ladies.

Let's do this.

GIRL:
Drink it, ladies.

It's cold out.
All right.

Which North Summit
student

qualified for the Olympic
trials in fencing?

Got to know this one.
Oh, come on.

Easy.
What?!

What a sorry bunch.
It was me, you idiots.

[ laughing ]
Let's go, chug it back.

Fail!
I am personally offended.

I should make you b*tches
drink twice for that one.

Drink up.
Hurry, hurry.

Drink, b*tches.
Drink, drink.

That's it, clothing off.
Strip it down.

You did it to yourselves.

Okay, here we go.

I can't.
Why?

I feel funny.
You're supposed to.

It's okay.

It's okay.
We will make your life

a living
hell, scholarship queen.

You want in, you drink.

Oh!
Rookie down!

Rookie down!

Rookie down!
Free pour!

One, one thousand!
Two, one thousand!

Three, one thousand!
Four, one thousand!

Five, one thousand!

Oh, my God.
[ coughing ]

Get back up.
Let's go.

On your feet.

20 bucks
she's going to puke.

All right, maggots.

This one should
be a no brainer.

How many championships
has North Summit won?

Five.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Did you say five?

[ making buzzer sound effect ]

I didn't ask how many
fencing championships.

Including all athletics,
North Summit

has brought home


since it opened its doors.
Drink up, rookies.

Drink, drink, drink!
Go, chug.

Chug, chug, chug.

Stripping,
take it off.

GIRL:
Take off your shirts, ladies.

Oh, free pour.

I wanna do this
one personally.

Come on, scholarship queen.
Chin up.

GIRL:
Oh, chug it.

One, one thousand!
Two, one thousand!

Three, one thousand!
Four, one thousand!

Five, one thousand, oh!
[ coughing ]

Church mouse
had her first free pour.

Ladies and gentlemen...

how many of you still think
Hey.

you got what it takes
to be on this team?

I got your back, okay?

There are more
questions, ladies.

SARAH:
I'm so drunk.

[ laughs ]

Ah, yeah, yeah...

Yeah, really.
Girls!

[ laughter ]

Get going.

Going to get yourselves
expelled.

[ growls ]
[ groans ]

[ laughs ]

Yeah.

What do you want?

No.
[ screams ]

[ gasping ]

[ groans ]

[ moans ]

[ laughs ]

Come here.

Go on, come here.

Yeah.

shh, shh, shh, shh.

[ laughs ]

It's okay.

[ moaning ]

[ laughs ]

[ winces ]

[ roars ]

[ alarm beeps ]

[ sighing ]

sh*t.

COLE:
What is a monster?

What makes a monster?

Is it our perception
of their actions

that makes them
a monster?

Is them being transformed

into some creature
of the night?

"How blessed
are some people's lives

who have no fear,
no dread,

to whom sleep is a blessing
that comes nightly...

and brings with it nothing
but sweet dreams."

Ahem.

That's a quote from
Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Now, who is the author
talking about here?

Is it the innocent people
who sleep

unknowing, uncaring

that creatures
may stalk the night?

Or is he talking about
the monster himself,

the creature of the night

that wishes for a moment,

however slight,
to be human again?

Now, in Frankenstein,
Shelley creates a monster

that, in many ways,

is more human than
the man who created him.

Now, what is Shelley
trying to say?

Perhaps that even
the most horrid of monsters

longs to be human

and to love.

[ book slams ]
[ gasps ]

Oh, did I wake you?

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry.
I just...

[ sighs ]

Ahem.

Should I be concerned
about you?

Please don't be.

I'm fine.

You've been drinking.

You have so much promise,
Charlotte.

Don't squander it.

I won't.

Oh, just do me one favor,
would you?

No nodding
off on the piste, okay?

All right.
I'll see you at practice.

[ machine hisses ]

GIRL:
Oh, yeah.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

[ gasps ]

Charlotte?

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, just having
a really shitty day.

Okay, listen, take a break.
I got this.

No, I got it.
No, no.

I said take a break.
I got it.

[ laughs ]

Really, just get some rest.
I'll clock you out, okay?

It's okay.

Okay.
All right.

[ shop bell rings ]

Hey.

Are you okay?
I'm fine.

[ groans ]

Seriously, though,
are you okay?

I'm just...

really hung over.

Oh.

Water, Ibuprofen,
and toast.

What?

Water, Ibuprofen, and toast.
Trust me.

Take that,
you'll feel better in no time.

I hope so.
Never fails.

Oh, yeah, and some lady
came around to

drop off a book.

Her name was, like,
Dacia or Deana

or something
like that.

Daciana?
Yeah, I think so.

She was kind of intense.

Hey.

Hi.

Feeling better?

[ sighs ]
I don't know.

[ chuckles ]

You know, last year,
during finals week,

one of the staff seniors
freaked out so badly,

threw about 30 mugs
against the wall.

Gosh, I hope
I wasn't that bad.

[ laughs ]

Charlotte,
it was just a tray.

You don't quit,
do you?

Not until you start
talking.

Uh-uh. [ laughs ]
No?

You know, I actually have
to get going to the gym.

Great.
I'll walk with you.

Okay.

What?
It's walking.

Walk with me, it's easy.
Start by standing, perfect.

Excellent, really.

And then you just
one foot, two...

[ laughs ]
You're like a pro.

Amazing.

The two mugs
you broke...

Yeah?

...those were
my favorites.

[ laughs ]
Just so you know.

Stop it.
No, I'm serious.

You're welcome.
[ laughs ]

There's a few friends
going camping this weekend.

It's nothing major.

It's not--far.
It's just off campus,

but there's a great lake
and campground,

and I thought it would
be nice if you came along.

Nicole will be there too.

It's...

[ laughs ]

I'll think about it.

All right, well, listen,
you can have your own tent.

I've got lots
of gear,

and I don't want to give
you the wrong idea.

I just thought
that it would be nice

if we got to spend
more time together.

Is it a bad thing?

I don't know.

I'll think about it.
Okay, all right.

Don't make
me use a pick up line.

Oh, please don't.

Let me know.

[ overlapping chatter ]

GIRL:
I have to get out of here.

[ door slamming ]

Hello, Char.

Look,
I know what it's like.

I've been there before.

Excuse me?

[ sighs ]
Like the whole b*tch thing,

it's an act, it's a self
defense mechanism,

'cause I know that guys
can be such assholes.

But I--don't have
to tell you.

You can see a guy like Chris
coming a mile away, right?

He's used to getting
what he wants.

What do you mean?

Like I said,
I've been there before.

But now you know,

so he's not going
to win that bet.

Bet?

Yeah.

It's a disgusting
frat thing,

a contest.

You're a virgin,
right?

Look, I thought it would
take a couple weeks,

but he says
he can bag you in a few days.

[ lock rattling ]

Hold your ground,
sister.

[ door opening ]

[ swords clattering ]

Heather, deeper in the lunge.
More extension.

Nice.
Very good.

Charlotte, sloppy.

Look at your footwork.

Just act, don't think.

Okay, ladies, take a break.
Bring it in.

Good work,
ladies.

I'm proud of you.

Now, as you can see,

our rookies have shown
a lot of promise,

but they're not ready
to represent the team

on Thursday
for our first match.

Kelly and Sarah,
Heather, Fran,

and Lucy will be representing
the team.

Good work, ladies.
Hit the showers.

Congrats, Fran.
That's great.

Congrats.
I'll see you.

[ showers running ]

[ overlapping chatter ]

Somebody got schooled
in there.

Leave her alone.

Just ignore her.

[ giggles ]

It's okay.
Everybody has off days.

Listen,
I don't think

you're used to drinking
that much, are you?

No, I can't remember much
about that night.

Really?

Hmm.

Do you remember this?

[ scoffs ]

Okay, guess you don't want
to remember.

Sarah, I...
I got it.

I'm sorry.
Mm-hmm.

[ laughs ]

[ whimpers ]

[ hisses ]

Charlotte.

Charlotte.

Charlotte.
Charlotte.

Are you okay?

I fell...

or I fainted or...

Did you--hit your head?

Are you hurt?
I'm fine, I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I stopped
by your work.

They said you weren't
feeling well.

Yeah, I wasn't,
and then

I--went to fencing practice,
and then...

Are you sure
everything's okay?

Yeah, just I need
to go back to the dorm

and get some rest.

Well, Charlotte,
we should talk.

Charlotte.

I got to go.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

[ wind blowing ]

[ coughing ]

[ coughing ]

Char?

Are you okay?

Char?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Fine.

Okay.

Fencers, ready?

Yes.
En garde.

Fence.

Charlotte, focus.

That's not good enough,
Charlotte.

Footwork is sloppy.

[ grunting ]

Okay.
Bring it in.

Good work today,
ladies.

That's it for today.
Cutting it short.

Hit the showers.

[ girls chatting ]

Charlotte.

Join me for a second.
[ door opening ]

Come on.

This is your moment,
Charlotte.

Don't let it go.

You're the only person
that's standing in your way.

I'm just going
through something.

[ sighs ]

Do you know
how a sword is made?

Through fire.

There's a moment...

a very brief moment

where the steel
is soft...

and vulnerable...

and ready to be shaped.

Charlotte,
that's where you're at.

Hey, I can see your pain,
your struggle,

but there's passion in there.

I know it.

And all you have
to do is tap into it.

See?
Right there.

That's it instinct,
fast and sharp.

You didn't think.
You acted.

Okay?
Charlotte, through fire.

Good.

[ whispering ]
Let it go.

Grab your mask.

En garde.

It's there, Charlotte.
I can feel it.

No.

Good.
And again.

[ grunting ]
Stop thinking.

Better, again.

Faster.

Faster, Charlotte.

[ grunting ]
[ grunting ]

Get up.

[ grunting ]
[ grunting ]

That's it.
There it is.

You're bleeding.

I shouldn't have.
You can go.

It's nothing....
Leave, now!

[ machine hissing ]

Something wrong?

No.

You haven't really
said a word to me.

You know,
the camping trip's tomorrow.

I know.

So have you thought
about coming?

No.

So you're not coming?

No.

Hey...

what's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing, I mean,
you want me to believe that?

You can believe whatever
you want to believe.

Charlotte,
just talk to me.

You're obviously angry.

It's better
than being deceitful.

And that's my shift.

[ chuckles ]

Hey, Charlotte.

Do you want
to join us?

Sorry.
I...have a thing.

[ mocking stammer ]
Shut up.

[ whispering ] Bye.
Shut up.

[ door opening ]

Charlotte.
[ door closes ]

Charlotte.
What are you doing back here?

I didn't know anyone was here.
I just needed some space.

[ sighs ]

I'm sorry
about earlier,

my behavior.

Sometimes I just
get carried away.

I just want
to see my athletes

reach their
full potential.

I needed it.

I needed
to get angry.

I've been holding
it in for so long.

I feel so alone here.

[ whispering ]
Come here.

[ door closes ]

Locking up.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

[ knocking ]

Dr. Duncan.
Professor Cole.

May I come in?

Please.

Can I get you something
to drink, Scotch?

No, thank you.
Water, perhaps.

Okay.
Please, have a seat.

No, thank you.
I'd rather stand.

There's been a complaint.

Oh, this is difficult.

May I be blunt?

I'd prefer it.

There's been...
an accusation

regarding some
inappropriate behavior

between yourself
and one of the students.

That's preposterous.
With who?

Charlotte Hawthorn.

She came to you?

No.

Hmm.

Seems as though
a jealous student

has taken issue with
preferential treatment.

Well, it's a serious charge,

and I have
to investigate.

Of course.
[ chuckles ]

These young girls and their
overactive imaginations.

I--never said your
accuser was a girl.

No, I did.

I'll have
to file a report.

Understood.

Let me get you that water

and I'll answer
any questions you have.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

Professor Cole?

Professor Cole.

Professor Cole!

[ growls ]

[ growling ]

[ roars ]

Let me see your palm.

It's okay.

Ouch.
What, are you crazy?

Listen.

You're not sleeping much,
are you?

Visions.
Waking dreams.

How do you know that?

You want answers,

give me your hand.

Hold.

Here.

Now watch.

Nosferatu sânge.

What is that?

[ blows ]

It's vampire blood.
Vampire blood?

Is this a joke?
Oh, this is no joke.

This is your fate.

Your blood
has been altered.

Well, I--have
a disease.

It's nonsense.

Hundreds of years ago,

your ancestor Sorina...

she became a vampire.

Her daughter
was stolen away from her

before she could be attacked
by her own mother.

How do you know
what happened

to my ancestors
hundreds of years ago?

Because my ancestors
were there.

[ horse whinnies ]

We helped create
your bloodline.

I was drawn here
just like you were.

It is my destiny
to help you.

What do you mean,
you created my bloodline?

The only way that we could
stop these creatures

was to use their
own blood

to transform
their offspring.

[ whimpering ]

[ sizzling ]
[ screams ]

This would heighten
the senses,

make her...aware.

Sorina arrived at the end
of the ritual, furious...

and she vented
her rage

on a man who sacrificed
himself.

Go to hell.

Stefan.

[ groaning ]

You see?

You see?
It's burning your skin.

This necklace
was crafted

to warn when
a vampire is near.

Devenit un vinator.

"Become the hunter."

Your mother died
before she could teach you

and train you,

and so you are vulnerable.

Tell me, are you a virgin?

[ sighs ]

Why?

When a vampire
finds a virgin

from the creature
who bit him,

from the bloodline,

he can use this
pure blood

to change back
into his human form,

but only if the virgin,

you, Charlotte,

only if you give yourself
to him willingly.

But if I can just
end it, then...

why don't I just
give myself to him?

It will end
for him, yes,

but for you,

Charlotte...

you will suffer
for eternity in hell.

Slay him, or be slain,

that is the only way.

That is the way of the dhampir.

Vampire hunter?

This is crazy.

No, no, this
is your fate.

No.

Charlotte.

You must accept it.

[ door opening, closing ]

[ suspenseful music playing ]

Naughty girl.

[ screams ]

[ growls ]

[ screams ]

[ indistinct chatter ]

[ elevator dings ]

[ sighs ]

What's going on?
What happened?

Oh, you didn't hear?

No, what?

Dr. Duncan is dead.

They found
him on the interstate.

He'd been attacked
by some kind of animal.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

Hey.
Hey.

Did you hear
about Dr. Duncan?

Yeah.

Awful.

I was so worried
about you.

Chris was, too.

I'm sure.

Well, what's going on?

Eliza told
me about the bet.

Extra points
for a virgin.

No, Chris would never,
ever do that.

Eliza's lying.

She's jealous.

I get it, your life
is a lot more tough than most.

Maybe you should
take a break.

Take a break?

You walk a minute
in my shoes,

and then
try and tell me that, okay?

[ dramatic music playing ]

I'm sorry.

[ faucet water running ]

[ glass shatters ]

Oh, my God.
Charlotte.

Am I bleeding?
What?

Am I bleeding?
Do you see blood?

Yes, of course.
You're bleeding.

You see it?
Yes, there's blood.

There's blood?

You're bleeding.

Charlotte, you're not alone.
Chris and I are your friends.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing
to be sorry about.

Can I still go with
you guys camping?

Yes.

[ laughs ]

Can I borrow
some clothes?

Oh, my God, yes, I thought
you would never ask.

[ laughter ]

[ laughter ]

[ can opening ]

I liked it.

I've been waiting for something.
Thank you, yeah.

Little bit.
Come on, come on.

Thank you.
I liked it.

GIRL:
It was too much swearing.

BOY:
It was not too much swearing.

I can show
you too much swearing.

I can show you...
Move.

...more than...
No, don't.

Let's go.
Okay, we'll see you guys later.

See you later.

You deserve
a back rub.

Yeah.
Later, skater.

Later.
Yeah, later.

[ birds chirping ]

[ indistinct chatter ]

Come here.

[ radio playing music ]
[ moaning ]

[ laughs ]

You want
to go for a walk?

Yeah.
Okay.

Let's go.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

[ crickets chirping ]

[ panting ]

Watch your step.

Oh.
Like there.

You good?

Mm-hmm.

Let's go back.

Okay?

No.

[ giggling ]

[ moans ]

[ laughs ]

[ hisses ]

[ moaning ]

[ wincing ]

[ gasping ]

[ screams ]

[ scream echoes ]

Make love to me.

[ breathing heavily ]

[ suspenseful music playing ]

Are you sure?

[ whispering ]
Yeah.

Okay.

[ hisses ]

What is it?

[ growling ]
[ screams ]

[ screaming ]

[ growling ]

[ heavy breathing ]

Okay, just--tell me what
happened.

I don't know, I was with
my friends and Chris.

Then...
Okay, but what--did you see?

Anything?

[ car engine starting ]

[ suspenseful music playing ]
[ police radios squawking ]

I don't know,
it was really dark

and really fast.

Could it have been
an animal or something?

I don't know.

[ suspenseful music playing ]

Charlotte.
[ gasps ]

[ air gusts ]

[ air gusts ]

[ whispering ]
Charlotte.

Cole.

[ gasps ]

I've been
waiting for you.

[ air gusts ]

Cole.

En garde.

[ grunting ]
[ grunting ]

[ clattering ]

[ clattering ]

I have waited your
entire life for this moment.

You k*lled my friends.

I did not choose
to be this way.

I am what your
family made me.

All I want
is to be human again.

I have spent
hundreds of years

waiting for this
very moment.

[ dramatic music playing ]

Charlotte...

be mine.

Show me the monster.

I'm not afraid.

You could not love
such a creature.

Show me.
I need to know.

Please.

[ growling ]

You're beautiful,
Stefan.

[ groans ]

[ hisses ]
[ screams ]

[ hissing, growling ]
