30 Days of Night: Dark Days

Synopsis: It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

I never wanted a war.
I just wanted people
to know what happened here.
Ninety-eight men, women, children...
...my husband.
And yet no one believed.
They rebuilt the town.
Life went on.
But I was already dead inside.
I never wanted a war.
Good evening. I'm Stella Oleson.
I'm a survivor of Barrow.
I've been traveling
for the past 1 0 months...
...trying to find ways
to make people understand.
So l wanna thank you...
...all of you, for being here tonight,
for having an open mind.
The story I'm about to tell you
is an absolute truth.
It wasn't a faulty pipeline...
...that destroyed our peaceful town.
Ninety-eight people didn't die
in an oil fire.
No.
The truth is...
...last year when the sun set
for 30 days...
...our town, Barrow, Alaska...
...came under siege
by a clan of vampires.
That's okay.
People always laugh.
But tonight...
...tonight will be different.
See, they go to great lengths to make
you think that they don't exist...
...which is why every time
I do one of these things...
...a couple of them show up.
Well, l have a surprise for you.
I've rigged the ceiling
with three SunMax ultraviolet lights...
...each of which are the same intensity
and wavelength...
...as the sun at high noon.
If there are any of you out there...
...l suggest you stand
and show yourselves.
Otherwise....
I'm a vampire.
Hit the lights.
-Clever little show.
-Well, people need to know the truth.
That's a good one.
My husband, my closest friends,
I watched them die.
I understand.
And post-traumatic stress--
It can really mess a person up.
All those people tonight,
they can't deny what they saw.
But what they saw was a hoax,
right?
An elaborate stunt perpetrated
by a very sick woman.
If it was a hoax,
then why send in the FBl?
You're a thorn in my side,
Stella Oleson.
If it were up to me...
...l'd choke you with my bare hands
and bury you in the fucking desert.
Others, however, feel that would draw
too much attention.
Who are you?
The body's already
in the incinerator.
No one will ever believe you.
And in basketball...
...the Lakers took a crushing loss
to the Pistons this evening, 1 1 0 to 94.
Rain showers will be intermittent
throughout the evening.
-We'll have relief come morning time....
-Sorry, Eben.
More wet weather
for Saturday evening.
Let's get more information about
that disturbance down on Figueroa.
Come on, give me the key.
No. No.
-Who the f*ck are you?
-l'm Paul.
That's Todd.
And that's Amber.
Great.
Now why the f*ck are you in my room?
Dane sent us.
I lost my daughter three years ago,
up in Washington.
My mom and dad, right off our farm
outside of Tulsa.
My fiance, New Orleans,
middle of the fucking city.
And no one believed us.
Might as well have been talking
about UFOs, Bigfoot, some shit.
Which is why, for the last two years,
we've been out there hunting them.
Hunting them?
Yes.
And we could use a fourth.
No, you don't hunt them.
They hunt you.
See? What did l tell you?
-Where you going?
-This is a fucking waste of time.
Amber. Hey.
Look, Stella, we know what it's like...
...waking up in the night...
...with your heart pounding.
We're offering you a chance
to end that...
...put those nightmares to rest.
You don't know me.
No. No, we don't know you.
But we know you're a survivor.
What was it, 30 days?
And you held on?
You know their strengths,
their weaknesses.
No one's gonna believe you.
You're gonna have to face that.
They found us. Found her.
-How many?
-Just one, so far.
All right.
-Get the door.
-Yep.
