The Center for Disease Control

met with UN officials today

to address growing concerns

about the new viral epidemic

that has so far

claimed the lives of-

The outbreak responsible

for the deaths of dozens

throughout Egypt

and Saudi Arabia

is now thought to be the result

of contaminated reservoirs

which supply all of the drinking water

to many of the smaller communities.

After repeated warnings

by the military craft to turn back,

the raft, reported to be carrying

three Cuban defectors

towards the Florida Keys,

was fired upon

killing all three passengers.

I'm being told now that we do have

footage of the incident.

We're going to try to go

to that now.

There seems to be

no end in sight

to the virus sweeping

throughout the Middle East,

India and North Africa.

With cases now being reported

in Greece,

doctors at the CDC

work around the clock for answers.

We are considering this our major

priority at the moment.

People have been moved

from other tasks and responsibilities

to help work on this.

We're working in partnership

with state and local authorities.

We'll do anything and everything possible

to control these outbreaks

with a minimum of destruction

to the American people.

Thank you.

Now, Daniel Mateo, Director for

Disease Control and Prevention,

issued a statement attacking

the legitimacy of your research

saying, "Before Dr. Randall

resorts to fairy tales and vampires,

as the cause of these symptoms,

he should first examine-

- Yes, yes, yes.

- No, no, no.

He should first examine

cases of illnesses

like erythropoietic

protoporphyria.

as a likely cause of the symptoms

described in his publication.

The author wants you to believe

that catalepsy,

a condition that causes slowing of

the body's regulatory functions

and temporary paralysis,

was responsible for those bodies

that were seen crawling out

of a mass grave in Prague.

It's an insult to the public

to expect us to believe

that entire nations can be struck down

by these rare diseases.

They do not explain

the mounds of bodies

bursting into flame

on exposure to sunlight.

They do not explain these

so-called "plague victims"

being drained

of most of their blood.

And they do not explain

the exponential growth...

The government has halted

all international flights.

Commercial and passenger planes

were forced to land by military aircraft

while attempting to depart

Los Angeles International Airport.

A visible military presence

in all airports...

The first American victims

of the epidemic

have been reported

on both coasts.

If there's anyone

left watching,

the virus story

you have been told is a lie

propagated by the government.

As unbelievable

as it may seem,

there are vampires

among us.

We have known

for some time now,

but we are forced

to continue the charade.

There's nowhere

left uncontaminated.

There's nowhere

to run to.

Barricade yourselves

in your homes.

Stay off the streets

at night.

Everything else you know:

crosses, sunlight,

destroying the heart,

these are your only defenses.

Let's go.

We have to end

the broadcast now.

God save us all.

# You can't see me anymore #

# There's nothing there #

# Just memories #

# Things I want to hide #

# Just don't understand #

# Or just can't comprehend #

# The sound of your voice #

# Ringing in my head #

# We've got nowhere to go #

# Of all the things I know #

# You're the one #

# That I miss the most #

# Can I leave now? #

# The damage is all done #

# No more words #

# And I'll be on my way #

# You were selfish #

# Didn't you know #

# I'd have done #

# Anything not to go? #

# And I was selfish #

# Just too free #

# Now I long #

# Just to feel you... #

( screaming )

Don't you know

who we are?

I know.

You're their watchdogs.

We're more than that,

princess.

So much more.

She's not too

appetizing.

We won't exactly be getting

the red carpet treatment.

- If this is the best that we could do...

- Don't think, fool.

It's not your job.

She's better than going

back empty-handed.

Yeah, but she's-

Are you going to challenge me?

Don't forget what tonight is.

Look!

Hold this.

No, no, no!

Please stop.

That's scary.

You think that's the first piece of ink

we've seen like that?

- We can take care of that, my dear.

- No, please!

No, please let me go!

- Please let me go.

- Get her.

No, let me go.

I don't see her.

Forget her.

We'll get her next time out.

I don't want to be late

for my own confirmation.

Help! Somebody help me!

Please,

somebody help me!

Somebody help me,

please!

Somebody please help me.

Please, somebody help me.

Please.

Open your mouth again,

I'm gonna f***ing piss in it.

# How you thought #

# You knew me #

# Understood mind-games #

# My dark needs #

# This is not the thrill

I'm after... #

No, no.

Please don't.

No!

# Wrap your arms around

my pale skin #

# It's too late to back out #

# You're in #

# On your knees

and praise your new lord #

# Deeper now #

# And here's your reward #

# Take me to bed,

and rip me apart #

# Take me to bed,

and rip me apart... #

No, please stop.

Please.

Help me, please.

Father, please help me.

Shhh!

Don't be afraid.

You'll soon be free.

No, no, no!

No, please don't.

Please!

No, no!

( screaming )

Come on.

Where are you?

( growling )

I'm looking

for Father Cahill.

Joe Cahill?
