1.)
(Santi speaks in voice-over while a flashback unfolds. The scene from Santi's past is not being narrated, but perhaps
remembered by Santi as he talks to Jack, back in the present. The scene depicted is of Santi rallying a group of
vampires on a tiled rooftop, with implements of violence in their hands and a cathedral in the background.)
SANTI: Here’s the thing, Jack. It’s not just the progenitors.
2.)
(A fancy old-fashioned estate with a single light on, trees in the foreground.)
SANTI: I’m sure it’s more brilliant in the day,
but that is another thing
they’ve taken from us.
3.)
(Santi's army begins to move. He holds a wavy-bladed dagger.)
SANTI: Theodore told me, you weren’t created by a progenitor. Those who help the monsters-
4.)
(Marcus is looking sexy with some mortal lover.)
5.)
(Marcus notices something is amiss. Smoke has crept into the room.)
SANTI: -are as bad as the monsters themselves.
6.)
(In hastily donned clothing, Marcus and his lover creep down the stairs. Marcus holds a sword. The estate is on fire.)
SANTI: Lives of the innocent are at stake, Jack.
7.)
(A mob of vampires attacks. Santi slashes the human's throat. Marcus is not pleased.)
8.)
(Marcus fights the vampires outside the estate, throwing them around
easily. One runs away, and Santi lurks in the background.)
SANTI: Someone killed you, for no good reason. Think of the torture, the cruelty...
9.)
(Santi has a knife in his teeth and a rope in his hands. Marcus is distracted.)
SANTI: Don’t you want revenge?
10.)
(Santi seizes Marcus with the rope while some lesser opponent falls away from Marcus, defeated.)
11.)
(Marcus looks very mad as Santi leers over his shoulder. Santi's knife is now in hand.)
12.)
(Marcus is down. Santi reaches for his heart.)
SANTI: You can help us save others.
13.)
(Santi begins to eat the heart.)
14.)
(As the estate burns, Santi stands before it with a torch. All of those who came to fight for him
lay about unconscious, not enough blood to reanimate themselves and see what he's doing.)
SANTI: It’s the simplest thing, really.
15.)
(Back in the present, in that rooftop rose garden, Santi speaks with Jack, gesturing with a cell phone.)
SANTI: Call your maker. Bring him here. Don’t let them get away with it.
16.)
(The phone is in Jack's hand. He looks a bit scared.)
