You need a doctor?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I am a doctor.
It's impressive,
don't you think?
Vampire bats weigh
almost nothing,
but they can down a creature
nearly ten times their size.
[FLIES BUZZING]
Wow.
What are you using
as bait?
You volunteering?
- Leaving.

You throw in that bushcrafter

[CAR HORN HONKS]
NICHOLAS: Should be able to
take better care of you here.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES,
CAR DRIVES AWAY]
Everyone's here to help you.
Michael, this is Lucian.
Lucian, Michael.
Michael knows more
about this place than I do.
[WHISPERS]
Play nice.
LUCIAN:
Hello.
Hello, Milo.
My name's Lucian.
The person
who was here before was Milo.
No.
He was also the new Milo.
And before him
was the other new Milo.
I don't even remember
the first Milo.
How long have you been here?
- Long as I can remember.
- [MACHINE BEEPS AND WHIRS]
- And you're still not cured?
- There is no cure.
There's something missing
from our DNA.
Like a piece of a puzzle.
And until they find it,
the only way to stay alive
is an oil change
three times a day.
What would you do
if you could be normal?
Just for an hour?
I don't think about it.
Hey, look at the freaks!
Look at them!
[STUDENTS CHATTERING, LAUGHING]
Best not to be outside
when school gets out.

[WHISPERS]
Okay...
[BEEPS AND WHIRS]
Lucian.
Lucian!
With one of these?
It took a team of scientists
to build that machine
and you fixed it
with a ballpoint pen?
There's a school
for gifted children in New York.
I think that I could get them
to agree to cover your tuition
and provide private care
to help manage your condition.
Somewhere you could study,
learn, hone your skills.
You have a gift, Michael.
I don't think I could forgive
myself if I saw it go to waste.
MICHAEL:
"Dear Milo,
"this isn't goodbye.
"I'm gonna find a cure for us,
"so we can be
cranky old men someday.
"Your friend, Michael.
"P.S. You shouldn't
have unfolded this.
"Now you'll never
get it back together.
See you this summer."
No.
[STUDENTS CHATTERING]
- "Dear Milo..."
- [ALL LAUGH]
Please, can I have
my letter back?
- What?
- Please, can I have my letter?
Okay. Here.

He tried to steal my letter!
Milo, Milo, stop.
- Stop. Stop. Stop.
- [CRYING]
What about Milo?
I'll look after Milo.
He needs me.
NICHOLAS: Michael Morbius
completed his doctorate by 19
and quickly established himself
as the world's leading authority
on blood-borne diseases.
His development
of artificial blood
has saved more lives
than penicillin.
Michael Morbius,
please step forward
to acknowledge
the receipt of your prize
from His Majesty,
the King of Sweden.
- [AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
- [TRUMPETERS PLAY FANFARE]
ANNA: I can't believe you
dissed the king of Sweden.
The king and the queen,
their loyal subjects,
all of Scandinavia and
the entire scientific community.
Yeah, but who does that?
Well, Anna, we both know
I have issues.
But, hey, I kept the program.
[TONE SOUNDS, THEN WOMAN
SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY OVER PA]
[KNOCKS]
There you are.
- Hey, Dr. Bancroft.
- Hey, Anna.
- We going to play?
- Oh, I don't think so.
See, now that Dr. Morbius
is back,
maybe you should
try losing for a while,
- see how that feels.
- MICHAEL: Not gonna happen.
- Michael.
- Uh, yes?
- You got a minute?
- Of course.
New one. For your collection.
[WHISPERS]
Dr. Morbius is in trouble.
I'm in trouble.
MARTINE:
"I can't accept a prize
for the byproduct
of a failed experiment."
- Lab 1.
- Front page,
"American Scientist
Rejects Nobel Prize."
You know that people
actually like writing checks
to Nobel laureates?
Makes them feel better
about their investment.
It would help if you stuck
around long enough to cash them.
- [GROANS]
- You're pushing yourself
- too hard.
- [SIGHS]
Does our generous benefactor,
Milo,
know what
you're actually doing here?
What am I actually doing here?
Remixing human DNA with bat DNA.
- I have no idea what you're...
- Talking about?
Is anything ringing a bell?
No bells ringing. Uh...
Okay. Maybe this
will jog your memory.
MICHAEL: I wouldn't go
in there if I were you.
[BATS SCREECHING]
That is a...
- It's a fish tank.
- Hmm.
Like, for...
flying mammals.
Oh, I see.
Some friends I brought back
from Costa Rica.
So when were you gonna tell me?
More importantly,
how did you get my pass code?
It's the first six digits
of pi backwards.
It's your password
for everything.
You should change that.
You could lose your license
for this.
I'm not gonna need it
much longer, doctor.
You, on the other hand, will.
You know, there's something
called "plausible deniability."
You should be thanking me.
These are the only mammals
on Earth
that have evolved
to feed exclusively on blood.
So in order to drink it,
these bats produce saliva that
contains unique anticoagulants.
So your theory is, if you can
successfully splice
vampire genes into your DNA,
it would allow your body
to produce
those same anticoagulants.
MICHAEL:
Yes.
It would be a cure.
At what cost?
The fusion of different species
is a legacy
we already carry in our bodies.
Viruses insinuating
their nucleic acid onto our own
over hundreds of thousands
of years.
That's evolution.
This is different.
I don't think it is.
We have to push the boundaries,
take the risks.
Without that,
there is no science.
No medicine.
No breakthroughs at all.
[MACHINE BEEPING]

- [RECORDER BEEPS]
I don't wanna see you get hurt.
I should've died years ago,
Martine.
Why am I still alive
if not to fix this?
To save my best friend, Milo.
And everyone else like us.
Not like this.
Dr. Morbius, it's Anna.
[]
[MONITORS BEEPING RAPIDLY]
- [PANTING]
- Her temperature's spiking,
and her kidneys
are shutting down.
We have to induce a coma
before she has a stroke.
A hundred milligrams
of propofol.
- NURSE: Sure.
- MARTINE: Now.
Come on.
MICHAEL:
It's okay.
It's okay. We got you.
There you go.
There you go.
Thank you, nurse.
We're gonna let you
sleep a bit.
Take a nice long nap.
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]

- Michael.
- What?
It worked.
[]
- [CLOCK CHIMES]
- Dr. Michael Morbius.
[IN NORWEGIAN]
Some crippled guy's here to see the Boss.
MILO:
Michael! Get over here!
[IN NORWEGIAN]
As long as I am a cripple you'll be fine.
Stop dreaming
Of the quiet life...
You're late.
I was trying out
this new thing
called "working."
Oh, yeah. I don't believe
I'm familiar with the word.
I don't believe you are.
So, what's up
with the goon squad?
Oh, I won a hand of cards
against some Russian gentlemen.
Apparently they found
his luck improbable.
- There you are.
- More like impossible.
So, doctor,
how is our favorite patient?
Still determined to make
his short life even shorter?
Yes, I am.
Anyway, you're one to talk.
You look terrible.
Look at the state of you.
Says the man wearing...
What is that, a quilt?
Oh, sorry. I didn't get the memo
to dress for a funeral.
- [LAUGHS]
- [CHUCKLES]
Right. I will see you later.
And you...
my door is always open.
We miss you at Horizon.
We could use your mind.
- I'll leave you two to your fun.
- Bye, Nicholas.
I have some good news.
Let's go for a walk.
How's Martine doing these days?
Dr. Bancroft?
She is, uh, overqualified,
outperforming,
brilliant as usual.
And a royal pain in my ass.
But she's keeping me honest for
the most part. Why do you ask?
Eh, no reason. Just haven't
seen you in forever.
I wondered if she had
something to do with it.
Aw, I miss you too.
But, yes, she has been working
with me to save our lives.
I could ask her to stop if you
like, put us out of our misery.
Just don't do something stupid
and go and fall in love
because, believe you me,
there is absolutely
no cure for that.
Says the guy who knows
absolutely nothing
- about the subject.
- Not true.
I read about it
in books all the time.
- Books, really? Wow.
- Yeah.
Or romantic comedies.
The point is...
The point is, love is not
on the cards for us, my friend.
Listen, if you start quoting
The Notebook to me,
I am going to stop
and hobble very slowly
- in the opposite direction.
- [LAUGHS]
Throw it!
MICHAEL:
I'm close, Milo.
I can feel it.
A cure.
It's finally possible.
- Seriously?
- Highly experimental.
Ethically questionable.
Very, very, very expensive.
- I knew that was coming.
- And not exactly legal.
Oh, and it has to be done
in international waters.
[LAUGHS]
You were always expensive.
Is it dangerous?
Should I be worried?
- You want me to lie to you?
- That would be nice, yes.
It's a walk in the park
on a sunny day.
Oh, yeah, that bad, eh?
Listen.
We don't have much time left.
This could be our last chance.
So, what do you say?
We go out with a fight?
[SIGHS]
Yeah.
You with me?
Till the day you die, brother.
Till the day you die.
You'll have everything you need.
We're the original Spartans,
mate.
- The few against the many.
- Yeah.
[]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO]
You know,
I'm sure you're cheating.
No. No, you're not.
What you got?
MICHAEL:
Putting another one in the oven.
Wish me luck.
[CHIMING]

[CHIMES AND BEEPS]

didn't you?
Yeah.
You know,
the whole near-death thing
is very, very chic.
- I read it in Cosmo.
- [LAUGHS]
Do they still make Cosmo?
I don't know.
I know it's just
what you always wanted.
Could be a collector's item
one day, you never know.
This better not be
my last one.
I know this is painful,
but you got it.

Doctor. Sure, I can see it.
But, uh, you're still the help,

Can we please have the room?
If you could start exiting,
that'd be fantastic.
Well, we haven't had
anything this good
since that thing
in San Francisco.
Uh, eight bodies,
running IDs right now,
but apparently they all shop at
the same mercenary supply store.
Uh, one survivor,
a Dr. Martine Bancroft.
- Can we talk to her?
- If she wakes up.
Uh, she fell down
and hit her head, apparently.
- Anything else?
- Someone made a mayday call.
- Not Dr. Bancroft.
- Nope.
It was a male,
didn't identify himself,
then wiped
all the surveillance footage.
SIMON: He grew a conscience
and jumped overboard?
It happens. Oh, and get this.
All the bodies
that you're looking at
are nearly drained
of their blood.
So, what hunts at night
and drinks human blood?
You're gonna love this.
REPORTER:
Early this morning
an unmanned cargo ship
was discovered
near the eastern tip
of Long Island
with multiple bodies onboard.
Authorities are not making
any comment at this time.
But there are reports
of one survivor,
and we have learned
from a high-ranking Coast
Guard official
that the vessel was flying
a Panamanian flag
when it drifted in
from international...
What's happened?
Some kind of accident.
How's your pain today?
On a one to ten?

As a result of my procedure,
I have an overpowering urge
to consume...
blood.
Human blood.
In certain respects,
I have succeeded
far beyond anything
I could have imagined.
For the first time
in my entire life, I feel...
good.
Yesterday, I could barely walk.
Today, I don't know
what I'm capable of.
For a period of time
after ingestion,
my numbers are off the charts.
I have the constitution
of an Olympic athlete.
Increased strength and speed
that can only be
described as...
superhuman.
And all of this...
on artificial blood.
[]
I've become
something different.
I feel a kinship
with these creatures.
They would tear anyone else
apart, but they welcome me.
Like a brother.
[BATS SCREECHING]
I've even developed
a form of echolocation.
Bat radar, for the uninitiated.
The question is:
How do I control it?
Isolate it?
Breathe.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
And let it go.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[BALL BOUNCING ECHOES]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
But, unfortunately,
this condition is temporary.
[WATCH BEEPING]
I've been timing myself.
Artificial blood keeps me
stable for six hours.
But that window...
is growing shorter.
Artificial blood
won't work forever.
One question remains:
What if...?
What if artificial blood
becomes ineffective?
What happens if I go without?
No blue...
No red...
Nothing.
[GROANS SOFTLY]
Eventually, my vitals
drop precipitously
and my illness returns
with a vengeance.
Soon, I'll face a choice.
[GRUNTS]
Drink the red...
or die.
But what happened
on that ship...
can't ever happen again.

We all make mistakes.
Don't worry about it.
You've never made
one like this before.
Michael, enough.
Just give it to me. I need it.
I can't live like this
any longer. Please.
- I can't.
- What do you mean, you can't?
- I can't.
- I need this. I...
I've done things, Milo.
I killed people.
W-we... We can make that go away.
The ones on the boat,
they're thugs, guns for hire.
- I can make that go away.
- You don't understand.
I do understand. Please.
Have I ever denied you anything?
Said no?
Have I always given you...?
I can't control it!
What, so... So you get to live
and I get to die? Is that it?
It's a curse.
Believe me, brother. It is.
Now, please, I need you to go.
- It's not safe here.
- No.
No, don't make me go.
Please, Michael, don't...

How you feeling, doctor?
Like I'm in a hospital,
eating really crappy Jell-O.
This shouldn't take long.
You were out
on a container ship
that washed up
off of Long Island.
Doctor, there were
eight dead bodies inside.
We also noticed that their blood
was... What do you call it?
Exsanguinated.
I looked it up.
So, um, sorry
for the graphic nature
of some of these photos.
But, um, you're a doctor,
so you know what people
look like on the inside.
These puncture wounds
right there,
those look like fang marks
to you?
Well, you were out there
conducting a major experiment.
We're just hoping
you could shed some light.
Yeah, that...
Not exactly sanitary, isn't it?
I'm having a little bit
of a hard time

I'm glad I could be of service.
I mean, I must admit, doc,
you don't look

Yeah, you look downright robust.
I have good days and bad.
Pilates helps.
How are you on boats?
As you can see...
don't have very good sea legs.
Why do you ask?
'Cause you've been

for your condition
your whole life, right?
You've pretty much
tried everything.

Authorities have confirmed the

the moniker "Vampire Murderer."

scientist Dr. Michael Morbius,
remains at large.
What have you

You know that people

about their investment.
It would help if you stuck

- too hard.

Milo,
know what
you're actually doing here?
What am I actually doing here?

No bells ringing. Uh...
Okay. Maybe this

[BATS SCREECHING]
That is a...
- It's a fish tank.
- Hmm.
Like, for...
flying mammals.
Oh, I see.
Some friends I brought back
from Costa Rica.
So when were you gonna tell me?
More importantly,
how did you get my pass code?
It's the first six digits
of pi backwards.
It's your password
for everything.
You should change that.
You could lose your license
for this.
I'm not gonna need it
much longer, doctor.
You, on the other hand, will.
You know, there's something
called "plausible deniability."
You should be thanking me.
These are the only mammals
on Earth
that have evolved
to feed exclusively on blood.
So in order to drink it,
these bats produce saliva that
contains unique anticoagulants.
So your theory is, if you can
successfully splice
vampire genes into your DNA,
it would allow your body
to produce
those same anticoagulants.
MICHAEL:
Yes.
It would be a cure.
At what cost?
The fusion of different species
is a legacy
we already carry in our bodies.
Viruses insinuating
their nucleic acid onto our own
over hundreds of thousands
of years.

Oh, yeah. I don't believe

So, what's up

Oh, I won a hand of cards

Apparently they found

Yes, I am.

Dr. Bancroft?
She is, uh, overqualified,

And a royal pain in my ass.
But she's keeping me honest for

Eh, no reason. Just haven't
seen you in forever.
I wondered if she had
something to do with it.
Aw, I miss you too.
But, yes, she has been working
with me to save our lives.
I could ask her to stop if you
like, put us out of our misery.
Just don't do something stupid
and go and fall in love

there is absolutely
no cure for that.

It's a good thing
we switched the chemicals.

Yo, finish up.

[VOICES CHATTERING ON TV]
It's a nice place
that you got here.
Oh, I love this movie.
Is this the part
where the mysterious guy
with the hoodie comes in
and kicks everybody's asses?
I love that part.
- Who the hell are you?
- It doesn't matter,
but I am gonna need
your laboratory.
- [MAN LAUGHS]
- MICHAEL: You can keep the money,
all your little toys.
Just leave the science-y stuff
and that bag of spicy Cheetos.
- He wants my lab?
- Yeah.
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
- You trying to be funny?
No, no, no. Absolutely not.
That's their job.
I mean, look
at their matching necklaces.
Time to go.

Should heal up just fine.

Yo. Can I get a tequila, please?
Don Julio 1942.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Do I know you?
Me?
- Yeah.
- No, I don't think so.
We've met.
- I'm sure of it.
- No, I'd remember.
You're too pretty.
You know what they say, "Tequila
to remember, whiskey to forget."
That's good.
Sir, two tequilas, please.
Hey, yo.
Her drinks are spoken for, bro.
- Salute.
- [CHUCKLES]
You know, uh, ahem,
I'm gonna do you a favor
and let you walk out of here,
all right?
That's very kind of you.
Here was I thinking
you were a complete asshole.
- Sir, can I get my friend here...
- Relax.
...and his friends
a round of whiskeys?
- JEAN: Hey!

MILO:
Martine.
Milo.
Sorry. I let myself in.
I hope I didn't startle you.
It's okay.
If I'd known
our biggest funder was coming,
I would have planned
a nice dinner for us.
Actually, I've already eaten.
Whatever it is, it's doing
wonders for your health.
[CHUCKLES]
I feel great.
- What can I do for you?
- Well, it's Michael.
I'm worried about him.
He's alone out there.
And I think he needs me.
If I can get to him before
the police do, I can help him.
You wouldn't happen to know
where he is, would you?
You two have always been
so close.
I'm sorry.
I don't.
Hmm.
[HEART BEATING RAPIDLY]
Just to be sure,
I'm going to ask you
one more time.
You don't happen to know
where he is, do you, Martine?
I wouldn't lie to you, Milo.
I don't.
Now, if you don't mind,
I have work to do.
Okay.
Well, if you see him,
if you hear from him, tell him:
"We are the few
against the many."
We'll have to do that dinner
another time, Martine.

Michael?
Hey.

Michael.
I'm sorry.
[SIGHS]
You may wanna close that up.
Yep.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[MICHAEL SIGHS]
How does it feel...
when you're on red?
Something wakes up
inside of me, something...
primal.
And it just, uh...
And it wants to hunt.
And wants to kill.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm sorry.

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
Hi.
Good as new.
Nice work, doctor.
Thank you, doctor.
You know, for the record, I...
I wasn't gonna go
full Dracula on you downstairs.
For the record...
I find him to be
quite the romantic.
Come here.
Just close your eyes.
Okay.
Move closer.

[TRAIN RATTLING]
Did you know the average male
body has 12 pints of blood?
I mean, how much do you think
the doctor can drink?
I don't know.
When's the last time
you had 36 beers?
When's the last time
you had any beers?
CCTV.
I'll go grab the footage.
I don't want you
to have to move or anything.
All right, check this out.
Wait, wait, wait.
Zoom in. And hold right there.
That's not the doctor.
RODRIGUEZ: It's what these bloodsuckers do.
They multiply.
Breaking news
on the Lower East Side
where three people
have been killed.
Authorities have confirmed the
discovery of three new bodies
outside a bar popular
with Wall Street traders.
And like the victims
before them,
they were completely drained
of their blood,
earning the killer
the moniker "Vampire Murderer."
The prime suspect, renowned
scientist Dr. Michael Morbius,
remains at large.
What have you
got yourself into?
However, another source
inside the department
has told us that CCTV footage
of the murders
suggests the killer
could be a copycat.
Residents are being urged
to stay home after sundown
until the killer, or killers,
are brought to justice.
NICHOLAS:
Milo?
[PILLS RATTLE]
You've discovered my secret.
I mean, look at me.
I am reborn.
I am the resurrection.
My God, what have you done
to yourself?
What?
Do you disapprove?
What's the matter, Nicholas?
Is Daddy cross?
All right. Settle down.
Let's go and have
a drink together.
Come celebrate with me, please.
- No.
- Just one drink.
Milo, you're scaring me.
Please. Just...
Just... Just calm down.
[SIGHING]
- What's the matter?
- I can't... I can't sleep.
I can help you with that.
I've been more than a friend
to you all this time, Milo.
And I'm going to stay here
with you.
But there will be
no more violence, understand?
That doesn't do it for me.
I should have known.
You always take his side.
Tell me your side, then, Milo.
Michael doesn't accept
what he is, Nicholas.
I'm gonna make him accept it.
- By ruining his good name?
- See? There! There you are!
Perfect Michael, selfless
Michael, Michael the favorite!
Don't be childish, Milo!
If anyone has a claim
to being my favorite, it's you.
- I've devoted my life to you.
- Liar.
You pitied me before.
You did. You pitied me before.
You're repulsed by me now.
I am repulsed...
by what you've done,
by what you've become.
Whatever this thing is...
you're not up to it.
There's no shame in what we are.
"We are the few...
against the many."
[GROWLS]
Tell Michael,
you tell him I'm going to kill
as many as I want.
[GROWLING]
[ROARS]
MARTINE: "He's only destroyed
by a stake through the heart,
made from the wood
of the Holy Cross."
You don't believe this.
MICHAEL: No. But after the week
that I've had, anything is possible.
What is that?
This is an antibody.
It inhibits ferritin,
induces a massive iron overload,
instant hemochromatosis.
Deadly to bats, fatal to humans.
Okay.
Who's the second one for?
My window's closing.
We both know that.
By tomorrow I'll be forced
to consume human blood.
I can't do that.
I won't do that.
So this is your solution, huh?
Injecting yourself with poison?
I brought this into the world.
It's up to me to take it out.
I need you to go now.
It's not safe here. Okay?
[CELL PHONE RINGS]

I want him to hear you.

I won't ask you again.

Thanks for meeting me, doc.
I've been reading about you.
- I'm listening.
- I'm not sure how I got here.
Has to do with Spider-Man,
I think.
I'm still
figuring this place out,
but I think a bunch of guys
like us should team up.
Could do some good.
Intriguing.
