The Breed Page #3

---

- I've looked forward to meeting you.

- Who are you?

The name is Cross.

Dr. Cross.

I founded this town.

Let's compare notes, shall we?

I reviewed the autopsy

on the latest victim.

No forensic evidence.

- Her throat was cut with a knife.

- My partner's wasn't.

We couldn't get a dental imprint.

He was careful not to bite them.

He just used his fangs.

The effect was the same

as if he had used forceps.

It's possible that the

killings are politically motivated.

Almost certainly.

This is not the work of a man

who is in a grip of blood lust.

Our synthetic substitute

stamped out that behaviour...

...years ago.

No. The being who perpetrated

these horrible crimes...

...is deliberately defying

our community.

Making a statement.

You must understand, Agent Grant,

our people are afraid.

We are an easy target

for human paranoia here.

It's what you wanted.

I advocated coming forward.

I said we'd be safe.

Help us find the rogue

before it's too late...

...and my people are punished

unfairly.

This disk...

...contains a database...

...of all known vampires worldwide.

Sir, I can handle that.

I'll be in the car.

- You can't give them names.

- We have to trust each other.

With our lives.

Privacy is illusion.

Trust authority.

Cross has made overtures

for months about this information.

How did you persuade him?

- He just gave it to me.

- But why?

God knows. Maybe he really wants

what's best for his people.

The bad news is, I don't have faith

in them like he does.

We spoke of precautions.

After the work you put in,

you deserve a look.

Existence proceeds essence.

Nothing is true.

Everything is permitted.

Fleming.

Damn it!

Dr. Fleming, Agent Grant.

Grant is our field man.

Show him why we aren't worried

about tracking them.

Here's a sample of their blood...

...infected with a deadly

airborne virus we have created...

Highly contagious.

What will it do to humans?

Very little.

The lab tests are done, and volunteers

have started the human trials.

The human effect is only mild

flu-like symptoms.

That's as bad as it should get.

The vampire effect...

...is rather like...

...the Ebola virus.

Agent Grant, report to 71 st Street.

The Freudian Building.

Right. Her name's Barbara Steel.

Died around 4:
30 a. M.

Sophomore at the university.

Christ! Kellman's daughter

goes there.

Apartment's owned by Graf Orlock,

psychiatrist. He saw patients there.

- Anybody locate him yet?

- Nope.

We put out an APB,

but nobody's seen him in 3 days.

Anybody see her come in?

Doorman? Security camera?

No. That's what I don't get.

There's security cameras everywhere.

In the lobby, on the roof.

We reviewed the tapes, but nothing.
