EXT. CITY STREETS - NIGHT

Vlad and Thom by the cinder blocks as before.

VLAD
I'm not going to let him turn the
world against us again.

Thom starts pacing.

THOM
Vampire hunts?

A smile cracks Thom's face.

Vlad holds his arms up with a look of surprise.

THOM (CONT'D)
Take it easy. The hunts were
messed up, but they just might give
us our lead.

Vlad looks even more confused.



INT. BELIAL'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Mina walks through a hallway.

ROBERT (O.S.)
So, where is the Effert now?

A concerned look crosses Mina's face and she hides behind a
corner. Robert talks on his phone in the room around the
corner.

ROBERT (CONT'D)
That is certainly troubling. And
your search?

Mina leans in further.

ROBERT (CONT'D)
It does not matter, use your
contingency if necessary. The
boy's death will focus our kin.

Mina looks worried.



INT. MUSEUM - NIGHT

The Curator checks an exhibit in the museum. There is a loud
thump.

The Curator walks around the corner and looks shocked. Thom,
looking beaten, lays on the floor.

The Curator runs to Thom.

CURATOR
What happened?

THOM
I need to speak to my father.



INT. MUSEUM - NIGHT

There is a knock on the door. The Curator opens the door and
Mr. McAnn enters.

Mr. McAnn looks down at the floor.

Thom lays on the floor and smokes a cigarette.

MR. MCANN
Did you call me out here just to
show your incompetence?

Thom takes a big puff.

THOM
Actually, I just need your
connections.

MR. MCANN
I'm going home.

Mr. McAnn turns around.

THOM
Well, I'm sure the plans of the
vampire lords won't interest you or
your 7.59pm friends.

Mr. McAnn stops and looks back at Thom.

Thom smiles and takes another puff on his cigarette.



INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

The restaurant is empty and dark. There is a click and a few
lights turn on. Mr. McAnn and Thom enter.

MR. MCANN
Wait here.

Thom sits at a table as Mr. McAnn moves to the back of the
restaurant.

Mr. McAnn opens a back door and several men in suits enter.
One man in a WHITE SUIT stands out in particular.

MR. MCANN (CONT'D)
Thank you for coming so quickly.

WHITE SUIT
You'd better have a good reason for
this.

MR. MCANN
I do. Listen to what my son has to
say.

The suits nod and walk to Thom's table.

The White Suit sits across from Thom.

WHITE SUIT
Alright, let's have it.

Thom lights a cigarette.

THOM
I just thought you'd want to know
that the Vampires have started
turning your thugs into their own
personal zombies.



EXT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

A two bodyguards stand near a back door. A shadowy figure
darts onto the roof.

A pair of red eyes can be seen on the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure leaps at the bodyguards.



INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

The White Suit, looking outraged, sits across from Thom. The
other suits and Mr. McAnn look angry.

WHITE SUIT
Those damn bloodsuckers.

A smile creeps onto the White Suit's face.

WHITE SUIT (CONT'D)
They've finally sealed their own
coffin. America will finally see
these monsters for what they are.
You've done well, son.

The White Suit turns to the other suits.

WHITE SUIT (CONT'D)
Tell our boys to kill the boy.
Plans have changed.

THOM
Oh hey.

All eyes turn back to Thom.

THOM (CONT'D)
Another change in plans.

From under the table, Thom shoots Mr. McAnn with shotgun.
Mr. McAnn flies backwards into a table.

The suits dive for cover.

The back door flies off it's hinges, revealing Vlad, who
holds a shotgun.

Vlad fires. A bean bag flies from his gun and strikes one of
the suits.

A suit turns with his gun drawn, but he is struck by another
bean bag.

The White Suit runs for the door as gunfire flies about.

The White Suit is about to reach the door when Vlad appears
out of nowhere and slams him into the wall.

Vlad, with eyes gleaming red, turns the White Suit around.

The White Suit cowers in front of Vlad as Thom approaches.
All the other suits lay on the ground.
