You gotta have something.

That doesn't look

good right now.

You're welcome.

I'm just sick to my stomach.

I'll eat something at school.

Where are your glasses?

They're messed up.

What do you mean?

I'll be fine without them.

Since when?

31!

32!

What's he doing?

Diaz made 33 of those in a row.

No he didn't.

He's lying.

Think I can clock him from here?

No.

Yeah I could.

Bet you can't.

What the?

Guess he showed you.

Shut up.

That's mine.

Oh, in that case.

Don't mess with my stuff.

Or you'll do what, you

motherless piece of sh*t?

Get out of here!

Leave me alone.

Got it?

P*ssy?

Hey!

Got it?

Yes, yes.

How's it going, Mike?

Mr. Tate.

What's wrong?

I'm not hungry.

You serious?

Did you eat lunch?

Yes.

Well, try it.

For me.

Hey Tate, come on, I

worked hard on this.

How was school?

Okay.

Yeah?

How'd you do on that test?

Got a 97.

Good job.

That's great.

I missed one I should have.

What's wrong?

What is it?

Tate.

Oh, man.

Tate, are you all right, buddy?

You okay?

Uh huh.

Here, let me see.

You know, maybe I should take

you back to the hospital.

No, I'm just tired.

Can I go to bed?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Hello?

Hello?

Tate?

Tate!

Tate!

Tate.

Tate.

Tate!

All right man, you're gonna

take it easy today, right?

Yeah.

All right, be careful.

Love you!

Bye.

Dude.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

You're all red.

That's quite a sunburn, Tate.

I don't think it's a sunburn.

Then what is it?

I don't know, it just happened.

Just now?

He was like, normal in science.

Why don't you go to the nurse?

Here you go, Tony.

Yeah.

Did you get in?

I did.

There's no alarm.

Are we on?

Yeah.

It's a definite go.

Okay.

Are you feeling

dizzy, lightheaded?

No.

Any chest pain?

No.

Why?

His pulse rate is 45.

Is it normally that low?

No, why?

Is there a problem?

Just out of the normal range.

Could be from the nasal surgery.

Could be medication.

I'm sure it's nothing

to worry about.

Okay.

No allergies?

No.

I'm gonna give him a

low dose antihistamine.

Not enough to affect

his platelet function.

Could be a reaction to the

antibiotics you're taking.

We sometimes see skin

allergies to the sun

with certain medications.

Okay.

Keep him out of the

sun for a few days.

Bring him back if you see

any signs of it reoccurring.

All right.

And what about his pulse?

I'm gonna check his

thyroid to rule that out.

Could be a number of things.

Perhaps lingering effects

from the sedative.

Drink lots of water, young man.

Okay.

All right, just hang tight.

The nurse will be

back for a blood draw.

We'll call you with the results.

Sounds good.

Thank you doctor.

Time to go to sleep.

Let me see your hand.

What are you doing?

Dad.

Yeah.

Why don't you call

me tater any more?

It's been forever

since I called you that.

Why'd you stop?

Well, you were

embarrassed, remember?

Oh yeah.

You got all old

and mature on me.

Why do you ask?

Well, I was thinking about mom,

and the trip we

took to lake Pahoe.

Mm.

Well.

All right, well.

Goodnight buddy.

Love you dad.

Love you too.

Tater.

That's the kid's bedroom.

Get back.

What the hell are you

doing, I said get back!

What's going on?

What do you want?

I'm not gonna ask you

again, you son of a b*tch!

Don't shoot.

What are you doing here?

You really have no idea?

Who are you?

I'm just a guy trying

to do a good thing.

Tate, are you okay?

Yeah.

Bleeding?

Not for long.

No, Tate, you keep

pressure on that.

Tate.

That's why I'm here, Mr. Diaz.

How do you know my name?

Dad!

Give me the gun.

Slowly!

All right, all right.

Mike?

You know him?

He works at my school.

What do you want from us?

I said on your knees!

Okay, just tell me what

were you doing to my son.

That thing's not your son.

Your boy's dead.

Earl was doing you a favor.

What kind of sick

bastards are you?

Huh?

What do we do now?

We go.

We'll leave y'all

alone, call a truce.

No! You, come with me!

Why?

Just for a minute, in the

other room, I wanna talk to you.

No, he's gonna kill you.

No I won't!

Dad, don't!

Shut up you f***in' leech!

Hey, he's just a kid, man!

I said get up, you a**hole.

No!

No!

Watch your back.

What?

It'll turn on you.

You need to take

Mike's head off,

just in case, and do it soon.

And the same with the boy.

Cutting off the head

is the only way.

I'd do it before the change

is done, once the heart stops

there's no going back.

Sorry.

Tate.

Please.

Dad.

Yeah?

Look what I did.

No, listen buddy,

it's not your fault.

You were protecting me.

Am I a vampire?

What?

No, there's no such thing.

Tate, what are you doing?

Tate, what did you do?

What did you do?

Dad, it doesn't hurt.

Tate, what?

I can't even feel it.

Oh my god.

I got some bad blood, didn't I?

I don't know.

Dad, make it stop.

I don't wanna be like this.

It's okay.

You gotta fix me.

We're gonna figure

something out.

Promise?

Yes, I promise.

I promise you Tate.

I promise, we'll fix this.

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

What's wrong, is it Tate?

No, no no.

Well yeah.

Well, is he okay?

Yeah, he's fine, he's fine.

I just need a place for

him to stay for a while.

I was wondering if maybe he

could hang at your place?

Yeah, of course, I'll

stay home from work.

Oh no no no,

you don't have to do that.

Are you gonna tell

me what's wrong?

He's just not feeling very well.

I gotta take care

of a few things,

just figure some

stuff out, you know?

Okay, you're scaring me.

You sound weird.

No no, I'm fine.

Look, I'll explain later.

I just wanna know if I

can bring him over now?

Yeah, of course.

Yeah?

Okay.

Cool, well, we'll be there soon.

Is that aunt Karen?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, you would never hurt

her or anything, would you?

No, of course not.

No, of course not.

Sorry.

Can I bring my game box?

Yeah, of course buddy.

Go ahead, whatever you want.

You okay?

Oh my god.

Tate!

Hey Tate, it's me!

Karen?

Hey buddy, where are you?

Tate, you here?

Oh, man.

Tate!

Damn!

Tate, you here?

Tate!

Tate!

Tate!

Hey.

Tate, what are you doing here?

Why did you leave

me at aunt Karen's?

What? I told you why.

You left me all alone.

Tate, we talked about it.

How'd you get here?

I walked.

Come on, no you didn't.

It's too far.

Where's Karen?

Where did you go?

Well, I had to take

care of a few things.

Without me?

You could have at least told me!

Tate, I did tell you!

What's wrong with you?

Why are you acting like this?

Don't ever do that again!

Hey, you don't take

that tone with me!

You don't talk to your father

that way, do you hear me?

Now where's Karen, is she here?

She's dead.

What?

No.

No, why?

I killed her.

Tate, what are

you talking about?

You told me you

weren't gonna hurt her!

I was thirsty and

you weren't there,

what was I supposed to do?

What?

I killed her and now

I have to kill you.

Cutting the

head off is the only way.

I'd do it before

the change is done,

once the heart stops, that's it,
