[M.I.A. "BAD GIRLS"]
- [SONG CONTINUING OVER STEREO]
- GIRL: Oh, Father, turn it up.
Please, Mr. Dragomir,
I love this song.
This song is sick... the traditional
"vomit" definition of the word.
Shut up, Andre. Me and
Rose want to hear it.
"Rose and I," Lissa, "Rose and I."
- I think the tune is rather catchy.
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
[GASPS, SIGHS]
- [MUFFLED CRYING]
- Lissa?
- [CRYING]
- Lissa. Hey, Lissa, wake up.
- yöu're having a bad dream.
- [SIGHS] It wasn't a dream.
I know. The accident.
Sorry. Not again.
yöu know, ever since that night,
I still can't get used to it.
yöu being in my head,
it's so weird.
yöu should know by now, with us,
"weird" doesn't begin to cover it.
Why can't yöu be like
a normal teenage girl
and dream about hot,
naked guys on unicorns?
Does it have to be unicorns?
Of course not. It could be Jet
Skis, mechanical bulls or...
Why do yöu have a scary poster
of an American ex-president?
Well, yöu told me I needed to
blend more into Oregano society.
We're in Oregon. yöu know
yöu're completely hopeless
as a human being, right?
I'm still adjusting, Rose.
It's been less than a year since
we ran away from the academy,
two years since the crash.
Don't yöu ever stop to think about
everything that we've gone through?
Stopping is for losers. I only
think about keeping us moving
and keeping yöu safe.
Does anyone even remember us?
yöu really think the academy's
still trying to hunt us down?
Absolutely. I think we may
have to get plastic surgery.
No, don't, please.
- Yes? No?
- [LAUGHING] No.
- Just like this? yöu like it?
- Rose, no.
- Whoa. When was the last time yöu...?
- I'm not hungry.
Is exactly what yöu say
every time yöu're hungry.
Come to the kitchen.
I'll make yöur favorite.
Are yöu... are yöu sure about this?
Bon appétit.
- Thanks.
- What are friends for?
- [CAT MEOWS]
- yöu jealous, Oscar?
What are yöu looking at?
Do I still have anything on my...?
Lissa, smile. They're watching.
Not a drill.
- What's out there? Not Strigoi?
- No, not Strigoi, thank God. Guardians.
Keep close, just like we practiced.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[WHISPERS] Lissa, go.
- [MOTOR REVVING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SHOUTING]
[GRUNTING]
[ALARM CHIRPS]
- Did yöu have to hurt them?
- Did I have to hurt them?
yöu're welcome.
Get out the map, Gandhi.
We'll head north into Canada.
- [OSCAR MEOWS]
- Did yöu really bring that fur ball?
I couldn't just abandon him.
[GASPS]
[GRUNTING]
Hells, yes.
Rose.
Princess Vasilisa Dragomir.
My name is Dimitri Belikov.
I've come to take yöu back
to St. Vladimir's Academy.
Listen, comrade, to get to her,
yöu're gonna have to go through me.
ROSE: Like I said, "weird"
doesn't begin to cover it.
My best friend Lissa
Dragomir is a royal member
of a magical, ancient
"Race" the Moroi.
The Moroi don't wear black capes,
turn into bats or sleep in coffins.
Daylight annoys yet doesn't k*ll them,
and they don't sparkle, either.
But, yes, like most creatures with
fangs, the Moroi live off blood.
But they don't live forever,
that's why they need us.
[GASPS]
My name is Rose Hathaway and like
these other guys, I'm a Dhampir.
We're the protectors,
the guardians.
Only half Moroi, I can eat a bacon
cheeseburger or whatever else I want.
Dhampir lives are dedicated
to protecting the Moroi.
We live by one simple
"Expression" they come first.
Only nothing's ever simple.
Handcuffs? There's got to be a
compliment in there somewhere.
So yöu're taking us
back to the academy.
Tell me, how bad is it gonna be?
Nothing?
yöu know, I kept the
princess safe and hidden
for an entire year
before yöu got lucky.
- Congratulations.
- It speaks.
Wow, that's a lot of molnija
marks yöu got there.
yöu've k*lled six Strigoi?
We were afraid that we'd run
into one of them back there.
If yöu had run into a Strigoi, we
wouldn't be having this conversation.
This is yöur idea
of a conversation?
[LAUGHS] Exactly.
[ROSE AND LISSA LAUGHING]
DIMITRI:
We are here. Open the gate.
Anyone there?
[RADIO CRACKLING]
Where is everyone?
- [LISSA SCREAMS]
- [GRUNTING]
[SNARLS, SCREAMS]
- Let's go!
- Lissa!
Move, move!
[GRUNTING AND SNARLING]

- [GRUNTING AND SNARLING]

DIMITRI: Spiridon.
Welcome back, Dimitri.
ROSE: And then there's group number
"Three" the bad vampires, the Strigoi.
Evil bloodsuckers that
only come out at night
and can only be k*lled
by a silver stake.
It takes five of our best
to k*ll one of their worst.
If yöu're lucky,
they'll just rip yöu apart,
but they can also turn
yöu into one of them.
Strigoi were the true
monsters of our nightmares.
For all the stories, the warnings,
and the training films,
I had never seen one up close.
- [HISSES]
- [GASPS]
I told yöu to stay in the car.
We're clear.
ROSE: And there it was.
Goodbye, Facebook.
Goodbye, iPhone 5.
Hello, St. Vladimir's.
It is not just another school.
It's another universe.
Moroi and Dhampir students
come from all over the world
to study history, science, math,
and all the other boring stuff,
but around fourth period,
we Dhampir go off and learn fun
new ways to maim and k*ll,
while, for the Moroi,
it's magic time.
Water, earth, fire, air.
yöu see, it's not just their diet
that makes the Moroi special,
and some are more
special than others.
Our secret society has
its own government
that alternates leaders
from 12 royal families.
That's Queen Tatiana up top,
but my girl Lissa is in the mix.
yöu can see why the princess leaving
the academy was such a scandal,
and me helping her was worse.
Damn, back to Vampire Academy.
Please don't say Vampire Academy.
yöu know how I feel about the "V" word.
Sorry.
It's not like the drinking of blood
is yöur main source of sustenance.
No, wait, that's
exactly what it is.
- [LAUGHS]
- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
They just had to bring us back
in the middle of the night.
So not cool... 1:00 a.m.,
end of fifth period.
Ew, it looks like Aaron's
tried to replace yöu
with a little keychain version.
God, I hate high school.
Princess. Headmistress
Kirova is ready for yöu.
Come on.
It's all so unprecedented. I'm at a
loss coming up with proper punishment.
As Lissa's guardian...
yöu're not an official
guardian, Hathaway.
yöu are a novice.
yöu put Vasilisa at the
mercy of the Strigoi,
who would love to destroy,
or even worse, transform...
It was my idea to leave.
Rose only did what...
KIROVA: A trained guardian knows...
- [DOOR OPENS]
- MAN: Ellen, please.
- Victor.
- Lissa.
VICTOR: Ah.
ROSE:
Prince Dashkov, yöu look so...
Yes. My Sandovsky's
syndrome has gotten worse.
Oh, Victor, we never
meant to worry yöu.
Headmistress,
these girls have been
through so much.
As provost of this school
and Lissa's father's oldest friend,
I beg yöu, look into yöur heart.
Vasilisa, I have the
utmost sympathy
for the loss of yöur parents
and yöur brother, Andre.
But why did yöu flee a
heavily guarded compound
of Moroi students from
all over the world?
It's not easy to explain.
Lissa felt more in danger here
in yöur secure environment
than on the outside as
an anonymous teenager.
Fascinating. This is where
yöu give me specifics.
Where's Ms. Karp?
She should be here.
She can maybe shed some
light onto the situation.
Ms. Karp is no longer
part of this institution.
I...
This is where yöu give me specifics.
What do yöu mean?
It's not important!
Vasilisa Dragomir is from one
of the 12 royal families.
She's the last of
the Dragomir line.
With my condition taking the
Dashkov family out of contention,
Lissa is a possible
successor to the throne.
But yöu, Hathaway, a Dhampir
girl cut off from the community,
out on civilian streets without a
dime or a Social Security number?
"Blood wh*re" is such an ugly term,
but I'm sure Moroi men on
business trips would pay a lot
for the especially sweet taste.
Headmistress Kirova.
- They have the bond.
- That's... that's impossible.
In my brief observation period,
Rose could tell what Lissa
was thinking or feeling,
sometimes without being
in the same place.
What a rare and wonderful gift.
This doesn't take away from the fact
that Rose Hathaway is wild, dangerous...
- insubordinate, vulgar.
- Right here, folks. Right here.
But the number of female Dhampir
guardians has gone down
way too much to risk losing
one with such potential.
Ellen, what this impressive new
guardian says seems reasonable.
We're so sorry, Headmistress.
After the crash, I lacked a strong
parental figure to confide in.
I'm afraid Rose and I got
in way over our heads.
Two crazy kids.
Hathaway can stay, but no
extracurricular activities,
no parties, no socializing,
nothing resembling fun.
Take the princess to her royal quarters
and find a broom closet for...
Oh, Rose, I almost forgot.
A telegram.
From Mom.
ROSE: Kirova flipping out and Lissa
using compulsion to save my a*s,
just another night
at St. Vladimir's.
Wow. This place definitely
brought back memories.
Come on, over here.
LISSA: Before the accident,
my father used to say
that for a Moroi not declaring a magic
is like not going through puberty.
Yeah, and he also used to
say practice during the day
while the world,
yöur world, is sleeping.
Let's make some magic.
Perfect.
Fire and water.
That's my Moroi.
- Rose...
- Don't leave me hanging.
Rose, yöu know how I
feel about high-fives.
Ladies. It's after 11:00 a.m., girls.
yöu should be in bed.
The sun has cleared the trees,
and it won't be kind, yöur Highness.
I never got a chance to express
my condolences at the funeral.
But I am so heartened
by the extraordinary
recovery yöu've both made.
[LAUGHS]
And don't worry, Princess.
I never officially
declared a magic, either.
And look how I turned out.
Ms. Karp's so different
from the other instructors.
It's really refreshing.
The thing that I like the most about her
is she's not strange or creepy at all.
[CROW CAWING]
[GASPS]
- It's hurt.
- It's more than hurt. It's done.
Leave it. Come on, let...
[CAWING]
That was unique.
Lissa.
Lissa?
[CROWD CHATTERING]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[GASPS, COUGHS]
[LAUGHTER]
Hey, Liss.
- It's good to see yöu.
- Aaron.
Guessing yöur new girlfriend
practices water magic. Classy.
Yeah. Hey, I'm sorry.
Mia gets jealous, but
deep down, she's sweet.
Back off, b*tch. He's mine now.
Very deep down, apparently.
How does it feel to leave at the
top and come back at the bottom?
Don't like what I'm saying?
What are yöu gonna do about it?
Thanks for asking.
I'm gonna go to a quiet place
and be very depressed
that this is my new life.
[GRUNTING]
MAN OVER SPEAKER: All Dhampir novices
transfer to the next training station.
Everyone transfer to their
next training station.
BOY: Dimitri is a God.
I hear he tracked
them down to Oregon,
and when Rose tried to put up
a fight, he handed her her a*s.
And what was left of that a*s got
chewed up by Headmistress Kirova.
Surely, yöu have something more
interesting to discuss than my a*s.
- yöur boobies?
- Quit while yöu're alive, Mason.
What up, baby?
BOTH: Ooh.
Forgot the secret handshake.
That hurts.
yöu know, I'm gonna make yöu
pay for yöur booby comment.
Old Rose maybe, but yöu've
missed a year of training.
Yeah, yöu needed that year to catch
up with what I was born with.
Prepare to...
Ow! [GROANS]
Sorry, Rose. Don't hate me.
I'd hate yöu more if yöu held back.
They have these things
in the outside world...
Pinkberry and mini taquitos,
Toaster Strudel... [SIGHS]
Oh, no. Not this again.
[PANTING]
[RAPID FOOTSTEPS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [GASPS]
Don't worry. I don't bite.
Well... only literally.
What are yöu doing here?
This is where I come to get away.
Hey, this was my... special place
before it was yöur special place.
What do yöu have to get
away from, Princess?
What do yöu know about pain?
Break a nail off in yöur tiara?
- Excuse me, after a car crash...
- yöu got off easy.
How dare yöu! Do yöu have any idea
what it's like to lose yöur family?
[SOFTLY] Oh. Sorry.
yöu know yöu're talking to
Christian Ozera, right?
Parents transformed
themselves into Strigoi...
When yöur folks died,
there was a pretty funeral,
and everybody cried.
When my mother and father were
hunted down, everybody cheered.
I hate what they chose to become...
but they were still my parents.
A Strigoi can't enter holy ground.
Is that why yöu come to the church?
To prove to everyone
yöu haven't turned?
Get away from that freak.
[FRUSTRATED GRUNT]
Maybe I just like the way the
moonlight hits this spot.
It's as if yöu're
on another planet.
What was it like...
outside the academy?
It was kind of scary, just
the two of us out there,
but... it was also kind of great.
No one knew who I was.
It does sound kind of great.
But what did yöu do for blood?
I mean, it's not like yöu
can pick it up at 7-Eleven.
Or so I've read.
Don't yöu say anything, girl.
People will get the wrong idea.
yöu and Rose, all alone on the road.
I have my theories.
Promise me yöu won't tell
yöur friends these theories.
I promise yöu I have
no friends to tell.
ROSE:
Stop staring at each other all...
- ...gooey like. [GASPS]
- Hathaway!
Look alive!
Comrade Belikov.
They ran me ragged. What do
yöu say we go easy today?
- Perhaps discuss a bit of theory.
- Of course, Rose. I understand.
[ROSE GRUNTS]
How do yöu say
"what a d*ck" in Russian?
Did yöu even go to a gym out there?
I took a couple of
spinning classes.
Do yöu really think beating me up is
gonna help me face a live Strigoi?
After yöur performance last night,
if yöu see a Strigoi,
I recommend running.
Now, give me ten sets of lines.
yöu know, this country has a concept
called "positive reinforcement."
Rose, yöur bond is special.
yöu're an ideal choice to guard
Vasilisa when yöu both graduate.
But if yöu want to be with her,
yöu need to be ready for anything.
[ROSE YELLS]
- Ow!
- Wow.
yöu look how I feel.
I look how I feel.
How's that "under the radar"
plan working out, Highness?
Not so much.
If yöu need a shoulder to cry on,
use mine, not Christian Ozera's.
- Who told yöu?
- I was sort of... yöu know, there.
Oh, not again. That's so gross.
I know, and it was, like,
the longest one yet.
- yöu seriously can't turn it off?
- I don't know.
Have yöu ever seen me
go to the bathroom?
No, but thank yöu for giving me
something to look forward to.
- Oh, shut up. Oh!
- [ALARM VIBRATES]
No wonder I'm so cranky.
I'm starving.
ROSE: And now, for the obligatory
cafeteria scene, sort of.
Ever wonder what happened
to that friend of yöurs,
obsessed with vampire
books and shows?
It's called the human
feeder program.
Human civilians systematically
giving their blood.
I forgot how much
I did not miss this.
LISSA: Hey, no feeder is brought
here against their will.
They can leave any time
that they want to.
Yeah, it's just a
one-year service limit,
and their memories are officially
compulsed upon departure.
That's completely normal.
LISSA: Don't feel too
sorry for the feeders.
If yöu recall, the bitee does get
something out of the process.
- [GASPS] Oh, there's Norrine. Here.
- Hey! Look at yöu!
- How are yöu?
- Yeah, good.
- [YOWLING]
- Here.
[SIGHS] OK.
Rose! Come and keep a
decrepit man company.
Decrepit? yöu're just saying that so I
won't kick yöur a*s in five-card draw.
Tell me, my darling,
while yöu were gone,
did Lissa get any
closer to declaring?
There's not a lot of places to
practice magic in Portland.
Oh, true, true.
On the subject of non-declarers,
I want to know why, when I brought
up Ms. Karp's name yesterday,
yöu all acted like I put a
porcupine in a hot tub.
Karp has always been a few
corpuscles shy of a full artery.
She didn't have a Dhampir
to look after her.
I know yöu have yöur
special bond with Lissa,
but it makes yöur escape
that much more alarming.
I'm on yöur side, Rose,
but we live in a world where
the bogeymen are real.
I know. I'm still a
little freaked-out.
I was there last night when
that Strigoi attacked,
and I just... I totally choked.
Don't be so down on yöurself, Rose.
- Why are yöu...
- [CLATTERING]
I know yöu have yöur life
mission to protect Lissa,
but would yöu now and again
look out for my Natalie?
ROSE: Mm...
She's a goofball,
but I do cherish her.
Yes. Well, she worships her father.
She would do anything for yöu.
I must go to her.
- Hey.
- [OSCAR MEOWS]
[SIGHS] Hi.
- Do I have anything...
- [GROANS]
Just fat-lady feeder breath. Here.
So, do yöu even know yöur feeders?
Norrine's recently divorced, and
she's catching up on some me-time.
She writes Twilight fan-fiction.
- Have yöu read any of it?
- Oh, God, no.
Rose, Princess Vasilisa.
I mean, Lissa.
yöu said I could call yöu
Lissa, but if I can't anymore,
- that's totally fine.
- Hello, Natalie.
By the soul of St. Vlad's,
so much has happened.
Nothing bigger than yöur escape,
of course. Why did yöu escape?
Did yöu hear Sheila Flight and
Bruce Bugsburger broke up?
Apparently, Bruce still has his baby
fangs, and it freaks Sheila out.
And yöu know about
Tess and Jackson?
Each was afraid that they're
gonna be the ones to get dumped,
so they started this really weird
rumor. I can't really remember...
Natalie? Do yöu take
gossip requests?
Mia Rinaldi over there, is she new?
Well, she's been around,
but new haircut, new fangs,
and now she's hanging out
with all the royals.
Rose Hathaway, what
are yöu doing here?
Surely yöu would not deprive a
girl of her religious needs?
Just get inside.
The debate team, and
I don't really know if I...
Speaking of extracurricular activities
that I miss, is that Jesse?
The hot get hotter.
Yeah, Jesse's still the academy's
number one wet dreamboat.
[SCOFFS]
He has a terrible personality.
Jesse has a personality?
I didn't know.
Don't judge a book by its content.
yöu know this is a church, right?
Gosh, if only there was a way
that we could set up a double
date with Ray over there.
yöu can't tell me that there's no
inbreeding amongst yöu royals.
Exhibit Ray.
Ray just doesn't know how
to express his feelings.
yöu know, when a boy throws
sand in a girl's face,
it really means that...
Never mind.
Yeah.
- yöur friend's a tool.
- Don't change the subject.
yöu, me... yöu and me.
Yeah, but don't yöu
have a girlfriend?
- Probably.
- Oh, yöu are bad.
What's so bad about bad?
[CHURCH BELLS TOLLING]
[CHUCKLES]
yöu do understand, Rose,
that even the walls of a church
can't protect a true sinner
from a good lightning bolt?
Save a seat for me in the
Dhampir section, yöu dork.
Mason likes yöu so much.
Why can't yöu go outwith a
nice, funny guy like him?
I know. If only I could put
Mason into Jesse's body.
God can be cruel.
Yes. That's true.
Come on. Let's go.
MAN:
Following God's path is never easy.
Even St. Vladimir had
difficulty controlling
and understanding his powers.
But he was bound to a
loving Dhampir guardian
who always knew what was
in his heart and mind.
Shadow-kissed Anna.
Shadow-kissed Rose,
yöu're bound to Lissa, and
it's up to yöu to help her.
[expl*si*n]
[CONGREGATION GASPING]
[GASPS]
[LAUGHTER]
What's so funny?
Did yöu write that?
Down, Dhampir,
yöu saw me in church.
Listen, Gap Kids, if I find out
that yöu had anything to do
with that, I will rip yöur...
yöu'll what? yöu're on lockdown.
yöu breathe the wrong way
and yöu're out on the pavement
doing amateur blood wh*re porn.
Listen up, that's enough
excitement for a Sunday night.
Everyone back to yöur dorms
until further notice.
Royal rec room, high noon.
I've changed my mind.
I'm feeling bad.
Good.
[GOLDFRAPP "THEA"]
[SIGHS] We Moroi may not burst
into flames like Strigoi,
but daylight still stings.
Poor thing. [CHUCKLES]
Did yöu have jobs out in the world?
What about an iPhone?
- What's a hashtag?
- Please, stop talking.
Whoa, horsey, what do
yöu think yöu're doing?
Come on, Rose. A bite while
yöu're going at it is the best.
Stop it!
Oh... I know that look.
yöu've done it before.
I would never let a guy
degrade me like that.
Not a guy, of course. Lissa.
We've all been
wondering how she fed.
Once yöu've had fang,
Rose, yöu never go...
Daytime fraternization. Forbidden.
I get it. Chill, chill.
Again, Jesse? Back to yöur room!
What? [GASPS]
[CREAKING]
Lissa, what are yöu doing?
[GASPS]
- [LISSA SCREAMING]
- [GASPS]
- Rose?
- Lissa's in trouble.
[CRYING]
[STAMMERS]
I heard... I heard a noise.
[WHISPERING] Lissa...
There's so much blood.
It's starting again, isn't it?
I tried, Rose, I tried
to bring it back,
but... it was too late.
- Get over here and comfort her, jerk.
- [MEOWS]
It's gonna be OK.
- What the hell is Kirova doing?
- She's giving Vasilisa a sedative,
and we are increasing
her guardian detail.
Our security system is geared
to keeping Strigoi out,
not dealing with teenage
bullying within.
Bullying? yöu really think
that's all this is?
- Rose...
- Sorry.
Thank yöu for not saying
anything to Kirova about...
it was foolish of me to assume yöu'd
be above such 17-year-old silliness.
Hmm. Hmm...
[INHALING]
The sunlight, it's nice.
I miss it.
Stupid vampire timetable.
The little sacrifices we make.
And the big ones.
My 17-year-old silliness,
that was the past.
That was an hour ago.
Are yöu trying to tell me yöu're
suddenly mature and responsible?
I'm trying to tell yöu that
I want to be, I have to be.
Teach me something
more than doing laps.
I know enough about running away.
And next time we meet,
teach me how to fight.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
Pipe down. Let's pick
up where we left off.
After the tribunals
in Romania... Mia!
yöu're usually a lot better
at passing on notes.
- Having an off-day?
- Oh, no, Mr. Meisner,
please don't read this note
out loud, I beg of yöu.
"I'll bet that drama queen..."
"I mean, drama princess,
k*lled that fox herself"
"to distract the school
from her real secret."
Don't go on.
Mr. Meisner, yöu're being used as a tool
to broadcast Mia's vile propaganda.
Are yöu calling me a tool?
- If she's not, I will.
- What was that, Hathaway?
Now I'm curious.
"So, it turns out the reason"
"that Lissa survived so
long on the outside"
"is she used Rose as a
personal feed bag."
- [STUDENTS MURMURING]
- Settle down!
Dhampir-Moroi mastication is
a very serious allegation.
I'm gonna pretend
I never read this.
Everyone turn to page
three of yöur handout.

yöu left out the best part.
About me and my boy, Jesse,

- Lissa, Lissa, wait up.
Not here, not in front of everyone.
What was that back there?
Fire magic in class?
- Uh..oh. Lovers' quarrel.
- Rose, I bleed for yöu.
No, it's Rose who
does the bleeding.
[GRUNTING]
yöu can't beat up everyone
we have a problem with!
- Well, I can try.
- What is going on?
I told yöu, Jesse and I barely even
made out, and Ray wasn't even there,
so I don't even know
what he's talking about.
OK, yes. Teenage boys are
weak and sweaty piglets.
It is our covenant...
I'm talking about yöu and me.
How did they find out
about the feeding?
yöu know, when Jesse's fangs
came poking out, did yöu...
No, not even.
But... he did kind of suspect.
Lissa, let me explain, please!
Let me talk...
Is it true?
yöu're gonna have to be
more specific, Mason.
Jesse and Ray, and not just
hooking up, fanging up.
- They claim they fed while...
- Absolutely not...
Well, actually, Jesse and I
did make out a little, but...
- Where there's smoke, there's fire.
- Leave fire out of this.
yöu girls throw yöurselves
at any d*uche bag
who happens to be Moroi and royal.
Whoa, Duckie. I do not have time to
deal with yöur feelings right now.
- OK.
- [STAMMERING]
Oh, God, come on, Lissa-vision.
Where are yöu when I need yöu?
yöu should thank me for
changing the news cycle.
It took something epic to take
animal death and blood whoring
off the Vampire Academy front page.
Please don't say "Vampire Academy."
I find the term to be quite...
yöu set someone on fire!
Come on. Did yöu see
any burn marks on him?
Now whoever k*lled that fox is
going to feel the real heat.
Is this yöur idea of chivalry?
yöu did not just
flip yöur hair back.
That's yöur move.
She's flirting, folks.
If we used our magic as a weapon,
instead of just for warm and
fuzzy classroom exercises,
the Strigoi wouldn't
be picking us off.
- Yes, but the rules forbid...
- The rules?
Lissa, I've seen the way yöu tilt
yöur head from time to time.
I'm very sure I don't know
what yöu're talking about.
Hey, compulsion must have been
a necessity in the outside world.
yöu can't know all my secrets. Yet.
- [FANFARE PLAYING]
- Queen Tatiana?
[APPLAUSE]
I hope I did not take yöu
too much by surprise,
but sometimes yöur queen awakens
with a need to look upon her lovelies.
Where's Vasilisa?
Vasilisa Dragomir?
Please come up and let
me see the princess.
Not a day goes by
where we don't lament
the loss of yöur parents
and yöur brother.
The Dragomir name represents
the finest of Moroi qualities.
While yöu, Vasilisa Dragomir,
the last of the Dragomir line...
if yöu are our future,
I am less than impressed.
The power that comes from royal
blood must be used responsibly.
While yöu... yöu give us
dead animals, blood games,
escapes to Oregon. Shameful!
- Queen Tatiana, I can explain.
- Shh, shh, shh.
Not now, dear.
However, I have every confidence
that our dear Vasilisa
will turn things around.
Now, let us adjourn
to the banquet hall.
NATALIE: My father would never
have done something like that.
After all that Lissa has been through,
to be shamed by our queen bee?
Don't yöu mean queen bee-etch?
yöu don't talk to Lissa like that.
So much for round-the-clock
guardians.
Lissa?
Oh, my God.
- NATALIE: By the soul of St. Vladimir.
- Who would do something like this? Why?
Go to the wall, Nat. Talk to me.
- What?
- [GRUNTS]
Yeah, OK.
[WHISPERING] Oh, God.
- It's fresh, and it's Moroi.
- OK, can yöu tell me if it's royal?
- [SCOFFS] Don't be absurd.
- Said the girl licking the wall.
I can tell yöu it's more
than one person's blood.
- [DOOR SLAMS]
- They misspelled "beware."
Lissa, I can clean it up.
I'm sorry.
Leave it. The misspelling shows it was
just a bunch of stupid teenagers.
OK, yöu know what, I'm gonna
go start packing. I'm really...
No, Rose. We can't just keep running
away, at least until we know
what we're running away from.
Ooh! A mystery, how exciting.
We can be like three
Nancy Drews trying...
I hate mysteries. I would prefer a
good Strigoi attack at this point
because at least I'd know what
those homicidal bloodsuckers want.
No more. I am taking our
dear beloved queen's advice,
and I'm turning things around.
Jesse and Ray are pawns.
Mia is the mastermind.
Yeah, but we didn't even
really know Mini-Mia
when we were compelled to
leave for the first time.
Ms. Karp is the one that
we should be focused on.
Do what yöu have to do, Dhampir. I am
done trying to crawl under the radar.
It's not possible, and...
it's not effective.
[OSCAR MEOWS]
Besides, I have a way of getting
people to see my side of the story.
Don't worry, Natalie
knows of my skills.
It was too exhausting
keeping it from her.
Are yöu going to use
compulsion on Mia?
Where's the fun in that?
I'm going to use compulsion
on everyone but Mia.
But compulsion on
such a large scale...
Magic should be used for something more
than warm and fuzzy classroom exercises.
Oh, God, and now yöu're
quoting Christian?
- What?
- Yeah, I was there.
And the poison that that freak
is pumping into yöur brain
makes me want to vomit.
Lissa, I'm the reckless, and
yöu're the cautious, remember?
yöu've already taken too
many hits for me, Rose.
Look, it's yöur turn
to have a little cry,
and it's my turn to
kick a little a*s.
Whoa!
yöu do not jump out at
a guardian like that.
I think yöu mean novice.
Just wanted to know
if Lissa was all right.
Queen Tatiana had no right
to bring up family.
- I should go and talk to Lissa.
- Oh, don't worry about it.
But I do. Lissa and I have a bond.
A bond?
Listen, Chris,
just stay away from her.
She's had her little flirtation
with the dark side, and she's done.
Lissa used to like Hot Topic,
too, and then she turned 12.
I was only concerned.
There's a fine line between
concerned and stalker.
Seriously, Christian, go away.
It's what Lissa wants.
[BIRDS TWITTERING]
OK.
I thought we'd practice out
here, away from there.
Dimitri, I know yöu must
have heard some rumors.
All that high-school der'mo
stays back there, not here.
This is life and death.
The silver. Don't be afraid of it.
Besides the sun, this stake is yöur
only friend against the Strigoi.
But yöu must subdue the monster
and bring yöurself to k*ll.
Yeah, k*lling Strigoi is
what it's all about, right?
Most Strigoi were once Moroi.
Some turn themselves Strigoi by
k*lling during the feeding process.
But many are turned by force.
If yöu are going to thrust, thrust.
My point is yöu might have known
one personally, as a friend.
Can yöu k*ll someone
yöu used to know?
I... If it was them
or me or Lissa...
yöu hesitate, and that
hesitation could k*ll yöu.
yöu have to keep telling yöurself that
they aren't the same people yöu knew.
Good. Very good.
I don't mean to belittle
what yöu are going through.
The queen crossed a line.
But the Dhampir must always bow down.
I get it. The Moroi come first.
Not always. My father was a Moroi.
He visited Russia once a year.
He liked to hit my mother.
When I was old enough,
I liked to hit him.
He stopped visiting.
- How old is old enough?
- Ten.
[CHUCKLES]
The only parent I've ever
really had is the academy.
yöur mother is one
of the most feared
and respected Dhampir
guardians in the world.
I see yöu finally
read her telegram.
yöu want to know what it said?
"Glad yöu're alive. What yöu
did was inexcusable. Mom."
Aw.
What do yöu know of
yöur Moroi father?
That he must have had dark
eyes and amazing hair.
When I start k*lling
Strigoi left and right,
I'm gonna have to cut
it all off, won't I?
Sorry. That sounded really girly.
yöu can wear it up.
Doesn't a Dhampir need to keep
their molnija marks exposed?
Don't ever cut yöur hair.
Wear it up.
yöu have to admire our queen.
Her elegance, her dignity, her
ability to recognize trash.
And my good mood is over.
yöu know, "beware" isn't
spelled with an "H" in it.
- Hey.
- Where's Lissa?
I haven't seen her, but guess what?
I heard that Mia and
Aaron are going
on that field trip to
the hemoglobin factory.
I figured it gives us a
chance to raid their rooms...
- Pretend to be talking to me.
- But I am talking to yöu.
It's nasty. If yöu
guys were doing it,
I'm not surprised Rose got
addicted and necked with Jesse.
She didn't do it with Jesse.
And it's not like we fornicated.
We just didn't have any feeders.
It's no big deal, Camilla.
Yeah, it's no big deal.
I mean, Jesse's a liar.
What are yöu guys doing tonight?
Shannon and I are going to her
room to study for Meisner's test.
Invite me.
Lissa, yöu want to
study with us tonight?
LISSA: Sure.
Oh, look. It's the
queen's court jester.
yöu can't talk to me like that.
The queen treats me like a daughter,
so yöu should be envious.
yöu're buds with Mia. What
secrets are yöu keeping?
- I like to wear my mommy's knick...
- Not about yöu.
Secrets about Mia.
- LISSA: Busted.
- Ow.
Did yöu witness how amazing I was?
I felt it. Using the power has an
effect, a cost, on both of us.
Look at yöu, yöu're shaking.
I'm shaking.
Three cups of coffee shaking.
More like 18 cups,
dark roast, no room.
- I got it, the computer.
- What?
I told yöu.
Mia's on a field trip...
Hey, yöu. I'm sorry I haven't
been to church in a while, but...
It's OK. yöu don't have
to pretend anymore.
yöu've had yöur little
flirtation with the dark side.
- Check that box and move on.
- What are yöu talking about?
But, hey, nice hypocrisy
on the magic use.
- [POP MUSIC PLAYING]
- LISSA: So what? A stolen laptop.
Kirova strangled Internet
access years ago.
Yeah, St. Vlad's operates
on a closed network,
but there is more to a
person than status updates.
There's photos, receipts,
inter-academy e-mails.
[GROANS]
yöu're making my brain bleed.
But yöu were sure right
about cuckoo Christian.
What a whack job.
Are yöu seriously going to
that study group with Camilla?
yöu know, yöu don't have to
use compulsion to be popular.
yöu may not recall, but yöu can
be quite charming on yöur own.
Who has the time? Natalie,
return that computer.
Later, losers.
[GROANS] Gosh.
I wish Lissa could compulse
Ray into being nicer.
And taking my virginity.
No one has ever
really seen me naked.
- Moroi, Dhampir, human, mineral.
- Uh..huh.
I once turned a plant around because
I was too shy to change in front of it.
yöu know I can't
un-hear this, right?
- Sorry. Yeah, I...
- It's OK.
Though I'm not much better.
I'm crushing on my mentor, Dimitri,
who's, like, old enough to be my...
Not my father... like an uncle.
Like a disturbingly sexy uncle.
Andre?
What the hell is this?
NATALIE: Goodness gracious.
Andre, Andre?
That's Lissa's brother, isn't it?
ROSE: Andre could have, like, any
girl he wanted, and he usually did.
Most of the girls knew the drill.
It was down low, no commitments and...
This is the face of a girl
who did not know the drill.
NATALIE: Holy moly.
Mia's not just angry at Lissa.
She despises the whole Dragomir line.
Right, which makes her someone willing
to take things to a whole other level.
OK, all right. Take this
back to Mia's room.
- Yeah?
- OK.
See ya.
- [SIGHS]
- [OSCAR MEOWS]
Hey. To what do I owe this honor?
Can we talk, Oscar?
ROSE: I'm worried about Lissa.
I love that our princess is learning
that the best defense is a good offense,
and believe me, I am all for putting
mad munchkin Mia in her place,
but this Operation Brainwash is turning
Lissa into something she's not.
She can't see that. I can.
It's like I feel Lissa's
feelings more than she does.
I need to put on my game face.
Can't wait around for my
next psychedelic flashback.
The stakes are too high.
- [GRUNTING]
- Get it?
Dhampir? Fight with stakes?
Best defense, good offense.
[GRUNTING CONTINUES]
I knew yöu'd improve.
No fair learning from a god.
I heard yöu were good at
taking on two guys at once.
[GROANS, COUGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
Rose, uh, about Jesse and Ray...
- Mason...
- No, not that.
In the locker room, it was weird.
They had these bandages
on their wrists.
I don't know if it means anything.
ROSE: Covered wrists?
- Is that some new Moroi thing?
- Check out Mia.
[CHUCKLES]
- She's getting away.
- Let her.
Kirova's the one I
should be tracking.
I need to break into
Kirova's office today
when the fang g*ng is asleep, OK?
There's a file in there that
could be the key to my past,
my present and my future.
That's it?
Sounds cool.
[GRUNTING]
Forty-five minutes of silence.
It has to be a Rose
Hathaway record.
OK.
What do yöu know about Ms. Karp?
Karp? She retired
before I even arrived.
Kirova, Victor, yöu.
I ask about Karp, and it's no eye
contact and a subject change.
Enough. yöur training of
late has been quite...
- ...fine.
- Fine? That's it?
What do yöu want me to say?
That yöu are a
remarkable quick study?
That yöu bring originality
to classic moves?
Yeah, I want yöu to
say all those things.
Good night, Rose.
[ROSE SHOUTING]
What did I do wrong? I had yöu.
[LAUGHS] The battle cry
was yöur first mistake.
I like yöur laugh.
Singular, not plural.
It's the first time I've heard it.
So even if I wouldn't have screamed,
yöu still would have stopped me, right?
Probably, but nice initiative.
Keep trying those surprise attacks.
It's good training for both of us.
So, uh... yöu have any other
moves yöu want to show me?
[DOOR CLOSES]
[CLATTERING]
[SIGHS]
I give it and they take it, but when it
comes back, it's not the same, is it?
I give it and they take it,
but when it comes back,
it's not the same, is it?
They're coming to get me.
But they want something
that I can't give them.
Those of us who never declared, those of
us who have powers that have no name,
there's only so much we can do,
only so much we can handle.
I should have gone with Vasilisa.
I should have.
I'm so alone.
The clarity of the
darkness beckons.
I just want it to go
away, the shaking,
the scratching,
nightmares, all go away.
Lissa. The king and queen of
the school together again,
- the way it should be.
- CHRISTIAN: Lissa!
It's yöu and I who are
destined to be together.
Let me handle this.
Look at what yöu made me do to
myself, just like my damn parents.
[SNARLS]
[GASPS] Lissa!
- [STUDENTS SCREAMING]
- [GLASS BREAKING]
I have a new family now.
Strigoi brothers and
sisters, attack!
- [SNARLING]
- [STUDENTS SCREAMING]
[GRUNTING]
[YELLING]
- Rose, what's happening?
- Stay close, right behind me,
just like we practiced.
[GRUNTING]
OK. It's not looking great,
but we will get through this,
Lissa, we always do.
Dimitri?
Oh, Rose, yöu worry too much.
Lissa, no.
What are friends for?
[WHIMPERING] No.
No!
Rose, are yöu there?
Did yöu feel that one?
What a weird dream.
Yeah. Yeah, Liss, weird dream.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
Don't yöu dare feel sorry for me.
Feel sorry for her,
for the princess.
[ROSE WHISPERING] I lied.
Lissa doesn't think that
yöu're a creepy stalker.
She actually likes yöu.
Then why did yöu...?
Because I think that
yöu're a creepy stalker,
and I actually don't
like yöu, but...
I like the way that Lissa
feels when she's around yöu.
So what?
Look at her. She's back on top.
She's not happy. She's not
herself, not as she wants to be.
Trust me, I know, Christian.
- I can f...
- [ORGAN PLAYING]
Shadow-kissed Anna
did all she could,
but on some days, Satan's darkness
seeped into St. Vladimir,
weakening his health and mind.
See, Christian, I don't
want that to be Lissa.
yöu are the phantom here. yöu must know
where they keep the books and scrolls
and whatnot, and I need to
figure out what her abilities...
yöu sabotaged the first good thing
to happen to me in a long time,
and now yöu want me to help yöu?
Ugh. God.
Princess party in
the royal rec room.
- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CHEERING]
There's my blood b*tch.
What took yöu so long?
- [MOCK GROWLING]
- [LAUGHING]
It's great that yöu
can joke about it.
Lissa, listen. A lot has happened.
We have to sit down and
have a real conversation.
Stop being so serious, Rose.
It's a party.
- Hey, Natalie.
- Hi.
[SIGHING]
Awesome party, huh?
Check this.
[ALL GASPING]
Can yöu say "keg magic"?
Wow, Lissa, yöu can
really do it all.
Well, of course I can.
I'm the princess.
But doing it all is wrong, right?
Fire, air, fire, air, fire,
air, fire, air,
- fire...
- AARON: Hey.
Aaron. [CHUCKLES]
Rose! Where are yöu going?
yöu weren't just going to
bail without saying goodbye.
I need to go home
and sleep yöu off.
Oh, is the bond making
yöu as buzzed as I am?
God, yöu are burning
us both out on magic.
Stop worrying. It's working.
Weeks have gone by,
and Mia is toast.
No threats, no notes, no foxes.
yöu're just bummed that I, not
yöu, have neutralized the threat.
yöu neutralized a threat,
not "the" threat.
And Aaron, seriously,
yöu really want to show up to
the Equinox Dance with that?
He's... cute.
And incredibly boring.
yöu think everyone's boring.
Christian's not.
No, yöu were right about him.
[STAMMERS]
I knew "little flirtation with the dark
side" sounded like one of yöur lines.
- Sorry.
- yöu know what? yöu can have Christian.
yöu're both savages.
Lissa, what I've been
trying to tell yöu
is that yöu're making
this about high school,
and it's about something more.
[CLATTERING]
- [GRUNTS]
- [GASPS]
Natalie... Are yöu nuts?
What are yöu thinking?
Trust me, yöu do not want to have
to get a nose job in Montana!
Sorry. I'm sorry. It's...
When yöu both left the
party, I had no one to...
Everyone kept staring
at me, so I left,
and on my way back to the
dorms, I swear, someone...
more like something,
started to follow me.
I just... I don't know. I'm
probably just being paranoid.
- [DISTANT HOWLING]
- [GASPS]
That's not paranoia.
- That's a psi-hound.
- Rose thinks everything is a psi-hound.
What's a psi-hound?
- [GROWLING]
- [NATALIE YELPS]
[GROWLING CONTINUES]
[DISTANT HOWLING]
- What's my backpack doing over there?
- Lissa, no.
Lissa!
[LISSA GASPS] Oscar! Oh, my God.
[GASPS]
Oscar.
- Lissa, just...
- No, Rose!
[SIGHS]
[THUD]
Shadow-kissed Rose,
yöu're bound to Lissa,
and it's up to yöu to help her.
Don't yöu understand?
The more that Lissa uses her
powers, the worse it'll get.
The more dangerous it will be.
They came for me.
They'll come for her.
What are yöu talking about?
Is it the Strigoi?
[LAUGHS]
This isn't about Strigoi.
Not everything to be feared roams
outside the gates of St. Vladimir's.
- I don't understand.
- Oh, yöu couldn't understand it.
yöu don't have to understand.
Look at me.
No, please, Ms. Karp,
not compulsion, please.
- I beg of yöu, please!
- I'm not taking yöur memories away.
Just hiding them for a bit.
[ECHOING] Lissa's life is in peril.
yöu only need to know yöu have to
get her away from the academy.
Forget everything I've said
until it's time not to forget.
[AIR BRAKES HISSING]
ROSE: I guess yöu could say
that it was half-repression
and half-compulsion,
and when yöu asked me
why we left the academy
in the first place,
a part of me couldn't remember.
I just knew that we had to get out.
Outrageous.
What Headmistress
Kirova means to say
is that it was brave of yöu
to come forward, Rose.
Well, I'm doing it for Lissa.
She needs help.
But is it really true she
can bring the dead to life?
Dead's dead... but from
the brink of death.
Not since St. Vladimir, and he
never declared a magic, either.
But there is no actual proof
to anything yöu're saying.
We found no cameras,
and the compulsion alone
can only be done in specific
environments by trained professionals.
Well, Lissa had no problem doing it
to yöu, right in yöur own office.
Surely, yöu had to wonder why yöu
didn't just throw me out of school.
It's outrageous.
Enough, please.
Ms. Sonya Karp. I want to
see the Day Six footage.
I've had a rough night.
Don't make me crawl through
a ventilator shaft
and lower myself down into the
security center on a wire.
Headmistress, we have no right to keep
Rose in the dark for as long as we have.
All right. All right.
Take her downstairs.
Show her everything.
Show us Karp Day Six,
please. Thank yöu.
[COMPUTER KEYS TAPPING]
[COMPUTER CHIMES]
I knew this is what
yöu were looking for.
Couple months after yöu left,
Ms. Karp had a complete breakdown.
And did the doctors
find a way to help her?
She found a way to help herself.
Karp was not like the others.
She didn't become Strigoi for
the power or the immortality.
She just... wanted
the pain to go away.
Nobody likes to talk about it,
but the most effective way
for the undeclared to take
away their special anxiety
is for them to take a
life and become Strigoi.
Strigoi have an inner clarity.
No feelings. No worries.
- No weakness.
- [GASPS]
DIMITRI: She got away.
We don't know where she is now.
[GASPS]
Roza? Roza, calm down.
- I'll protect yöu.
- [LAUGHS] Roza?
It's not Karp. It's Lissa.
She's upstairs, and she's...
she's pissed.
LISSA: Cuts on my arm?
Is that what she said?
And without the use
of a blade, no less.
I know I've been having
trouble declaring a magic,
but that seems a pretty
pointless skill.
Allow me to put yöur mind at ease.
Rose is a dear friend, but she
has a talent for tall tales.
Kirova's letting herself be compulsed
even after I gave the compulsion speech!
It's classic!
Ever since the accident,
it's like my life has
been on autopilot.
I guess in Ms. Karp's own
spooky way, she was trying
to help me figure it all out,
but who do I have now?
There is another person
who can help yöu.
He is on our flags,
posters, uniforms
and the statue in the
middle of the school.
St. Vladimir?
OK. I'm on it.
So, is this where the
outcast losers hang out?
- How did yöu know...?
- Books on St. Vladimir. Now.
Before, I was asking.
This is me telling.
- God, yöu're annoying.
- I'm right that this could help Lissa.
Yeah. That's what's
so annoying. Come on.
God, what's a girl got to
do to get a definition
- of "shadow-kissed" up in this...
- Check this out.
"Vladimir had mastered
a very rare magic,
and this magic had a "Name" Spirit."
All this time, Lissa's
been beating herself up
about not being able
to declare a magic.
Oh, my God, if she only knew.
This makes Lissa more special
and valuable than
I ever even imagined.
I guess I should be happy that the bad
guys aren't trying to k*ll Lissa,
but it kind of just makes things
more sick and disgusting.
What do they want from Lissa?
What is the point of k*lling her
cat and setting up cameras?
- Who could be that cruel?
- Headmistress Kirova could be.
And Mia likes to film her pranks.
- That...
- I know.
Both a little on the nose, but...
No, maybe they're so obvious
that they're not obvious.
I did see Kirova with
Mia the other night.
OK, my conspiracy theory of choice
is that someone might be
trying to drive Lissa mad,
to take her out of
throne contention.
I mean, we all know Queen
Tatiana has her issues.
All three witches could
be working together.
I like the way yöur mind works.
Just hold that thought.
"At times, after the expense of
power and in times of trauma,
Vladimir's agony would manifest
directly onto his skin."
So this proves that
Lissa's not a freak.
Sort of. I mean, it shows that
she could be rehabilitated.
Wait. Lissa does something
like that to herself?
- Cuts and scars and...
- Yes.
Christian, she really could have used
yöur support these past few weeks.
yöu agreed Lissa
hasn't been herself.
It's her fault we're not together.
God, the female, especially one
who lives off of blood and magic,
is going to have her mood swings.
It is never the girl's fault,
even when it is the girl's fault.
No one ever explained that to yöu?
yöu know, if yöu weren't so psychotic,
yöu'd be fun to hang outwith.
Same to yöu, creep.
Thank yöu.
- OK, bye.
- [CHRISTIAN LAUGHS]
- OK.
- See ya.
What were yöu doing with Rose?
yöu were fornicating, weren't yöu?
Fornicat... We were reading.
We discovered a magic
called Spirit. yöu have it.
Ms. Karp had it,
and so did St. Vladimir.
- He used to cut himself, too.
- Rose told yöu that?
- I'm gonna k*ll her.
- Look, stop it, Lissa.
We're trying to help yöu.
I know now if yöu don't
have any family,
yöu need as many friends
as yöu possibly...
I don't need friends or
family or pets or...
[SCREAMS]
I hate yöu!
[LISSA CRYING]
yöu liar.
- Lissa, listen...
- Don't "Lissa, listen" me.
- yöu've ruined my life.
- Oh, bite me.
- yöu wish, blood wh*re.
- Wow.
OK, Lissa, I need
yöu to understand.
We can learn how St.
Vladimir used Spirit...
- Did yöu k*ll my cat?
- Hey,
Oscar and I's relationship
was on the mend.
Lissa, this is important.
Ms. Karp turned herself Strigoi.
She didn't do it to become evil.
She did it to take away from
the scratching and
the shaking. I mean...
which future do yöu want, a sick
and soulless one like Karp's
or an epic one like Vladimir's?
Stop talking to me about
the past and the future,
because I only care
about the present.
yöu know, if yöu have to choose one,
pick the one that's happening right now.
I am Princess Vasilisa Dragomir.
I'm the last of the Dragomir line.
If they see I'm weak,
they'll attack.
This isn't about a "they" anymore.
This is about yöu! This is...
- [SCREAMS]
- [GASPS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
yöu're awake, finally.
The princess has been going
through feeders all morning.
How are yöu?
I don't know. yöu tell me.
I'm afraid to even look.
I can move it,
that's a good sign, right?
Rose, I don't know how
to say this, but...
yöu are not injured.
That's easy for yöu
to say, comrade.
I heard the crack.
I saw the bone...
Sorry to interrupt.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Here.
- Thanks.
So, I saw Aaron go by.
- I kicked him to the curb.
- Mmm.
When I saw yöur leg, I got
everything out of my system.
- Everything.
- Thanks for that, by the way.
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- Ugh.
I'm so glad yöu're both alive and
not at each other's throats.
This whole matter of Spirit
has taken us by surprise.
Until the advisers
arrive from Romania,
we'll be sequestering
yöu both into a bunker,
away from any excitement.
No classes, and obviously
yöu will not be attending
- the Equinox Dance tonight.
- Oh, nonsense.
Please, yöu have to come.
I'm gonna go with the headmistress
on this one, Prince Dashkov.
Besides, we're all forgetting
the most important thing.
- We have nothing to wear.
- There the gods have smiled upon us.
Today is an overcast day,
and I have engineered a
little shopping expedition.
Please? yöu know how
much I need yöur help.
And plus, when has shopping
ever not cheered yöu up, Lissa?
Where is Rose?
[ROSE SHOUTS, GRUNTS]
[DIMITRI AND ROSE CHUCKLE]
[GROANS] OK.
What was that about?
It's just a little something Dimitri and
I do to keep each other on our toes.
Wow, that was weak. How long
have yöu been in crush with him?
I am... very sure that I don't
know what yöu're talking about.
- [ENGINE STARTS]
- [POP MUSIC PLAYING]
- So, do I get a silver stake?
- That would be a... no.
But remember, today yöu are
not just Lissa's friend.
Spiridon.
Ain't likely any Strigoi
is gonna make a play
in a public place
in broad daylight,
but if Dimitri ain't
giving yöu a stake, missy,
yöu should have one
of these bad boys.
'Causes a blinding flash of
UV light. Buy yöu some time.
Well, at least someone
thinks I'm worth a weapon.
So, my superpower turned out
to also be my Kryptonite.
Wow, yöur Highness with the
pop culture reference.
yöu know, I...
I confused power with popularity.
[LOUD SHRIEKING]
[EXCITED CHATTER]
Ever wonder what it'd be
like to be like that?
It's not our destiny.
Destiny? I hate that word.
yöu know, "royal responsibility,"
"the Moroi come first,"
it's all so twisted.
It's not twisted. I'm yöur Dhampir
and yöu're my Moroi. Done.
Some days we're kooky teenagers,
and other days I'm risking
my neck to protect yöu
from an ancient race of
predatory vampires...
or whoever else, and that's life.
At least until they come up
with a better word for it.
Somebody looks tense. Free massage?
[GROANING]
I'm really sorry. I'm so sorry, OK?
Run.
Ms. Karp, I understand all that,
but Mia and my brother...
don't think so.
Andre was generous and
funny and amazing,
but... he could kind
of be a player.
Lissa, don't look like yöu don't
know what I'm talking about,
'cause I can feel yöu, OK?
yöu know, I hate having a
best friend I can't lie to.
Do yöu really think
Mini-Mia's behind everything?
No, not exactly.
But I think we'll find out tonight.
Tomorrow yöu're getting sequestered
away by Spirit advisers,
so the dance is the last chance
for anybody to try to get to yöu.
Look, if yöu could put a pin in all
that, we have more vital matters.
Finding yöu a dress.
[SINGSONGY]
I can go into my trust fund.
I could not possibly accept that.
That's yöur dress. That's the
dress yöu were born to wear.
Lissa, we have more important
things to do than sh...
That is my dress.
Thank yöu, sir, and if yöu
could just sign here?
And that is yöur necklace.
ROSE: That is my necklace.
That's not yöur necklace.
So not my necklace.
Did yöu take my lip gloss?
Corpse Number Five? Like I'd
wear yöur pale-a*s lip gloss.
No way.
Natalie, yöu look gorgeous.
Rose... this is for yöu,
from my father.
That's my necklace.
Daddy saw yöu looking at it. Here.
- How does it look?
- Beautiful.
[METAL MUSIC PLAYS ON COMPUTER]
All right, ladies.
I don't know what's
gonna happen tonight.
At this point, I can't remember
who loves us and who hates us...
but I do know that we are
going to own this dance.
Let's make tonight our b*tch.
[BEAR IN HEAVEN "SINFUL NATURE"]
[HISSING]
Not much of a reaction
from yöur boyfriend.
He's not my boyfriend, but...
grading on the Dimitri curve,
a huge reaction...
mammoth, gargantuan.
Come here.
Genuinely un-small.
Christian Ozera.
At a school dance.
After this week, I thought I'd
lost the ability to be surprised.
I'm sorry about that
kiss the other day.
What about the one right now?
[KATY PERRY "SPIRITUAL"]
- Rose.
- Hey, what's up?
- [SIGHING] OK.
- Rose, yöu look...
No, yöu don't get to stare at her.
I took it upon myself to talk to
these royal pains in the butt.
ROSE: Hmm.
Don't yöu have something to say?
- We're sorry.
- Hmm.
We didn't do anything to
yöu that we said we did.
yöu're telling something that never
happened actually never happened?
Thanks.
Mia let us have sex with
her if we obeyed her.
I tagged the note at the church
and air-blasted the memorial.
What did yöu think of
the scary screen saver?
We actually put a lot
of work into that.
And the bloody one just happened.
We thought it'd be fun to all
hook up in the princess's room,
and things got out
of hand, literally.
It's called blood splash.
It's a new Moroi fad,
where when things get hot and sticky,
yöu fang open yöur wrist and spray.
Ew! Stop. I nap on that couch.
OK, what about the cat?
We thought it was a fox.
Hurting animals...
that's disgusting.
Said the creepy blood splasher.
Please, Rose, don't kick my a*s.
ROSE: Go dance with Natalie.
Go, now.
[SIGHS]
Oh, Jesse.
- Who's the man?
- yöu are so the man.
Break the case wide open and
I still only get the cheek.
Ouch.
Ever feel like yöu're
being watched?
Can we pretend the past
month never happened?
Why were yöu in the hospital?
Pregnant?
- I guess not.
- Herpes?
Maybe yöur baby has herpes.
I don't care if it's true. I'll tell...
- Go away, Mia.
- Why are yöu Dragomirs such drags?
First Andre, then yöu steal Aaron
from me and don't even keep him.
- I don't need this.
- I vow to take down the entire...
I'll fire-magic yöu into ash.
I'll just water-magic
myself before yöu can...
Gosh, yöu two are a riot.
Allow me, Mr. Ozera.
Rose, I hear yöu and the
princess are friends again.
Too bad... could have
made a great team.
Oh, nice wrist corsage, Splashy.
yöur sex sl*ves told me
everything, and poor Aaron
had no idea what a
sociopath yöu really are.
- I'll bet yöu did off Lissa's cat.
- Oscar? I gave him treats.
I would never hurt a kitty.
Oh, my God, yöu poor little...
All this time, me thinking
that yöu're a villain
when yöu're really just...
yöu're just an insecure little girl
in desperate need of attention.
- [SHRIEKS]
- [CROWD GASPS]
Everyone saw that I tried to
take the high road there.
- CHRISTIAN: Rose.
- Sort of.
If Mia didn't do it, that means there's
a bigger threat still out there.
- Hathaway, yöu're out of here.
- Lissa's run off. I didn't see where.
Oh, God, if only there was a secret place
that she went to when she was sad.
- Right.
- Genius.
[GROANS]
OK, OK.
OK.
[SIGHS, WHISPERS]
Please, please, please, please.
- LISSA: Christian.
- We need to get yöu somewhere safe.
- Just a little longer in the moonlight.
- No, no.
Our moonlight.
OK, now we need to go.
- [CHRISTIAN GRUNTS]
- [LISSA SCREAMS]
Lissa.
Headmistress Kirova,
we need to get Dimitri.
- The princess is in trouble.
- She's not the only one.
- yöu don't understand.
- I do understand, Rose.
I understand more
than yöu'll ever...
[GASPS]
I could have been a model.
A man in Milan gave me
his card when I was 16.
[KNOCKING]
Dimitri? Dimitri, open up.
Dimitri, something has happened.
Rose, what's wrong?
What's right?
Sweet sassy molassey.
What do yöu want, Rose?
Some of that.
This is insane.
What are we doing?
Everything.
I love yöur dress.
Let's burn it.
[ROSE GASPS]
Love charms... hypnotic,
dangerous, put over jewelry...
Forget about it. Lissa's been
kidnapped. We have to hurry.
Report from the gate.
Nothing's come in or out.
They're still on academy ground...
Have yöu cleared this with Kirova?
Better to beg forgiveness
than ask permission.
Yeah, and I put a
sedative in her a*s.
Let me concentrate.
yöu've got to be kidding me.
- DIMITRI: What is it?
- Nothing. Hold on. OK.
SPIRIDON: He's coming in.
Check the blindfold.
No compulsion tonight.
I can't make out anything
through the blindfold,
but I know that voice.
It's... that guardian.
- Oh, no.
- DIMITRI: "Oh, no," what?
"Oh, no," who. The bad
guy's Victor Dashkov.
Welcome, Vasilisa.
How was the dance?
It's officially tomorrow,
and, as promised,
we have much to talk about.
Forgive me if I don't
make eye contact.
- I've seen yöu in action.
- Why are yöu doing this?
My dear, the simple truth is,
I need yöu to heal me.
Testing yöu with the
animals was misguided,
but earth-magicking the cement
and shattering Rose's ankle
was supremely clarifying.
yöu're forgetting something.
My bond with Rose is
practically a psychic GPS.
Ah, yes, but the necklace
gift that I gave to Rose
is bathed in a very
expensive love charm,
and she is a little too preoccupied
to be of much use to yöu.
That's what yöu think, mother...
Victor wants her to heal him.
yöu were my family's
most cherished friend.
Why didn't yöu just ask me?
How touching...
genuinely, my darling,
but a chronic disease
like my Sandovsky's needs
continual healings, and then
there is the other matter.
The physical toll on me.
Yes, Spirit users take their
power from their own essence.
To heal another requires
giving part of oneself,
and it can destroy one over time.
yöu want me to give
up my life for yöurs.
Basically. But, yöu see, my dear,
I am much more important than yöu,
and the Moroi need a strong
leader, but my disease means
that I cannot occupy my
rightful place upon the throne.
But yöu shouldn't bother
yöur pretty little head
about all this royal intrigue.
Guess what, Victor.
The spirit in this pretty little
head isn't going to heal yöu.
- yöu can't make me.
- [GROANS] Bring in Kenneth.
Do yöu know somebody named Kenneth?
yöur compulsion won't
work on Kenneth.
He's blind, but he's one of the
Moroi's most ingenious air users.
- Shall we begin? Heal me.
- Go to hell.
yöu're up, Kenneth.
[GASPS]
- [BLOWING]
- [GASPS, SCREAMS]
- [GASPS, SCREAMS]
- Rose?
ROSE:
Don't stop. They're torturing her.
Heal me.
- [INHALING]
- [LISSA GASPS]
[GASPS]
Now he's...
[CHOKING]
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
Ah, Lissa.
Heal me.
[CANE CLATTERS]
My...
this really worked out.
Take the girl upstairs
till departure.
Rose, stay here. It's too dangerous,
yöu'll just get in the way.
- But...
- Do I really need to remind yöu
the last time I said
"stay in the car"
and was disobeyed?
No, I totally understand.
Good luck.
- yöu're not really staying, are yöu?
- What do yöu think?
But what did Dimitri mean by
"last time I said 'stay in the car" '?
He was talking about another
girl from another time.
She was a novice.
I'm a guardian.
Let's roll, fire magic.
I need a seeing-eye dog.
[GRUNTING]
Take my arm.
The princess is upstairs.
[GRUNTING]
No, no, not this way.
- Rose.
- Keep going.
- It's right up there.
- Rose!
What?!
- [YELLS]
[SCREAMS]
[THUD]
[BUZZING]
[GRUNTING]
Spiridon, send for the girl.
We're ready now.
I believe yöu can fly.
[GRUNTING]
Feel free to chime in at any
time with some fire magic.
Maybe a ring of flame
around the knob?
I've never really worked outside
a classroom setting before.
Forget it, she's gone.
Stop trying to save yöurself, Liss.
Stupid one-way bond.
[GASPS]
[SNARLING]
- [LOUD GROWL]
- [GASPS]
[HOWLS]
Psi-bounds.
[BOTH GROWLING]
Expensive to breed,
difficult to train,
but there is no denying the
brilliance of the psi-hounds.
They will stalk the
princess, maneuver her,
but they won't attack
unless I say the word.
[SNARLING]
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
[GRUNTS]
[BANGING AND GRUNTING]
I presume yöu can deal with that?
They say Dimitri is a god.
Well, I'm an atheist...
an atheist with a big g*n.
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
[GRUNTING CONTINUES]
[SNARLS]
[GRUNTING]
That's it? Seriously?
[GRUNTS]
I've waited for this moment.
Do yöu know what it's like to always be
referred to as the second best guardian?
No.
[SPIRIDON SCREAMS]
Are yöu OK?
- Did yöu see what Victor did?
- I know. What an as*h*le.
I hate to interrupt, but unless
either of yöu can fly a chopper,
- maybe we should get going.
- [g*nsh*t]
- [LISSA SCREAMS]
- Lissa, get back.
Rose, be a dear and step
away from the princess.
I don't want to accidentally
sh**t her when I'm sh**ting yöu.
yöu heard him, he won't sh**t me.
- I am yöur guardian.
- No, Rose, yöu can't do this.
ROSE:
Lissa, don't yöu dare fight. Lissa.
- yöu're worse than a Strigoi.
- Christian!
Do yöu know what I like
most about the psi-hounds?
They're wonderful at tracking.
They're even better at k*lling.
- Attack!
- [SNARLS]
[BARKS]
No.
[GASPS]
[SCREAMS]
[PSI-HOUNDS YELPING]
Now, that's some
freaking fire magic.
Rose, I need to save
him, but I can't.
Victor took everything,
all my energy.
Power up, Princess.
[SIGHING]
- [THUD]
- [SIGHS]
[GASPS]
KIROVA: This has been a night that
St. Vladimir's will never forget.
We have extra guardians manning the
academy perimeter. Nothing can get in.
Victor Dashkov will be confined
to a holding cell downstairs
until he can be transferred to the
Royal Court Prison to await trial.
How's Natalie? She worshipped her
father. She must be devastated.
The other members of the Dashkov
family are removing her from school.
For the best.
Uh..oh, Rose. This came for yöu.
Oh, great.
KIROVA:
Uh, Dimitri, one last thing...
The time gap after Rose so
dramatically burst out of my office...
DIMITRI: It should all be
explained in the other file.
A Nobu charm was put on a
necklace Rose had been wearing.
The spell caused Rose to attack
me and me to attack her.
I disengaged the necklace before
critical... violence could occur.
Mmm.
Hey, we should probably talk
about what happened earlier.
I just want yöu to know I
would never use the words
"sweet sassy molassey"
unless under the influence.
It is not a matter of
amusement or discussion.
- It was horrific.
- Horrific...
isn't really the first
adjective that comes to mind.
Don't make light of this.
It's one thing if I were
or me 28 and yöu 20.
That's a lot of math for
someone who's not interested.
yöur life is about
homework, dances, parties.
How can yöu say that
after what happened?
It's what it should be about.
I'm not interested
in yöu in that way.
- OK.
- It was...
- ...just a spell.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Let it go.
- Got it.
- Rose?
- Yeah?
yöu're still here?
I'm not sure how I feel about this,
but Victor has requested
a moment of yöur time.
Yeah, no, that's not gonna happen.
He said something about yöu
being "shadow-kissed"?
She's not going. That's final.
Don't tell me what to do.
ROSE: yöu look good, Vic.
Which is ironic, considering it
means more time rotting in jail.
Don't take this the
wrong way, Rose, but...
I probably should have k*lled yöu.
There's a compliment
in there somewhere.
I spent a lot of
money on that charm.
It didn't quite work
out the way I wanted.
Mmm. It worked out well enough.
Caused a man with no interest in
me to burn off my dress, so...
yöu're so tough, so one-of-a-kind.
But yöu're still a girl.
All this has happened,
and what yöu want to know is,
"Does Dimitri really like me?"
It's a powerful charm, Rose,
but it's not that powerful.
There has to be a degree of affection
and attraction already in place.
Happy?
- Shadow-kissed?
- Ah, yes. I owe yöu that.
yöu see, I didn't begin
to track Vasilisa
with some silly old raven.
My eye was on her long before.
I've seen the accident report.
And there's absolutely no way that
either of yöu should have survived.
The accident was what woke
her spirit in the first place.
The fear of seeing yöu
dead made it burst out,
allowing her to heal,
made yöu form yöur bond.
Rose...
yöu've been kissed by shadows.
yöu've crossed over into death,
into the other side, and returned.
Don't yöu think that leaves a
mark on the soul... somewhere?
That's why yöu're not afraid
to show yöur feelings, Rose,
yöur passion, yöur anger.
That's what makes
yöu remarkable. Yes.
But it's ironic... considering.
Considering what?
[CHOKES]
[CHOKING]
Considering I'll have to k*ll yöu.
Natalie. yöu made yöur own
daughter turn Strigoi?
And how do yöu think I can
circumvent the outside security?
I'd do anything for my daddy.
[ROSE GRUNTING]
All that training, and yet,
I'm going to obliterate yöu.
VICTOR: yöu see, Natalie was not
the innocent yöu thought she was.
In fact, she was the one who
provided me with the intel
regarding yöu,
Dimitri and Vasilisa.
The cat was my idea.
Daddy wanted to do another fox.
[MOCK GASP] Father, look.
Rose does choke before Strigoi.
[GROANING] I don't understand.
To become a Strigoi,
don't yöu have to...
Yes. I chose Ray to be my first.
k*lling him was a lot more fun
than losing my virginity
to him would've been.
And with a lot more blood.
- [HISSING]
- Too soon?
[GRUNTING]
- [HISSES]
- [GRUNTING]
[SPITS] Hey, Victor?
Aren't yöu afraid yöur
new Strigoi daughter
won't be able to resist
yöur Moroi veins?
Don't be ludicrous.
I'm gonna wait outside, Natalie.
Finish her off.
yöu don't know what high school
is like for a loser like me.
I was so scared all the time...
so weak, so sad, so lame.
Now my eyesight is perfect,
my skin is clear,
and so is my mind.
I may be dead, but I have
never felt so alive.
How awesome for yöu. Say cheese.
- [SCREAMING]
- [GRUNTS]
[WEAKLY] Rose?
Oh.
[GRUNTS]
[BEEPS]
[DOOR HISSING]
[CRUMBLING]
Maybe I won't k*ll yöu.
Maybe I'll make yöu just like me.
That way, we can be
friends forever and ever.
BFF! [HISSES]
[GRUNTING]
[YELLS]
[GROWLING]
[CHOKING]
Who's choking now?
Roza, Roza.
Oh, my Roza.
Lissa, yöu're gonna
want to see this.
I don't believe my eyes. yöu got him
wearing a color other than black.
LISSA: Baby steps.
Oh, Rose, wait.
There's so much to read here.
Apparently, Vladimir and Anna
almost drowned in this flood,
but he saved them from certain
death, and listen to this.
"It took many years for Vladimir to
master the power of his Spirit."
"Despite his sufferings
and delusions,"
"he never contemplated
the way of the Strigoi,"
"because he always
had the strength"
"of his shadow-kissed guardian,
Anna, to see him through."
Similarities. Weird.
Well, Christian, for us, weird...
Doesn't begin to cover it.
[SIGHS] Do I have to?
It's time.
[LAUGHTER]
- [FANFARE PLAYING]
- God, not her. Not now.
And once again, this grotesque
maelstrom of indecency
seems centered on one
royal individual.
- Where's Vasilisa Drag...
- Thank yöu, yöur Majesty,
for allowing me to clear the air.
I finally declared a magic,
and it's called Spirit.
It may take years to
get a handle on it,
but I have a bunch of wise
men in robes to help me out.
And yes, that was not a mirage
yöu saw on the dance floor.
My boyfriend is Christian Ozera,
and his parents were Strigoi.
Get over it. He has.
I'm not quite sure
what yöu think...
- Shh! Not now, dear.
- [CROWD MURMURS]
Blood. Blood is what
connects us all.
Blood is sustenance.
Blood is family.
Blood is pain, and blood is death,
be it the fang of the Strigoi
or a drunk driver on the
wrong side of the road.
[CRYING] Blood is many things,
and sometimes it gets
so crazy and confusing
that yöu need a best friend
to tell yöu, "it's OK."
"It's all life, at least until they come
up with a better word for it."
Unfortunately, yöu can't
all have a Rose Hathaway.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm very lucky that she's mine,
but if yöu don't have a soul mate,
by Vlad, the least yöu deserve
is kindness and dignity and something
more original than gossip,
snobbiness, sl*t-shaming
and bullying.
Let's prove that Moroi
blood is worth protecting.
What do yöu say, everyone?
No more bad blood.
[APPLAUSE]
[APPLAUSE CONTINUES]
ROSE: So, that's Natalie, huh?
Looks... fresh.
I'm sorry.
I had to.
I'm sorry.
- I hesitated.
- Rose...
yöu're so brave and
strong and bold.
Sadly, yöu'll have many other
opportunities to k*ll Strigoi.
yöu lied about yöur
feelings for me.
Yes. I did.
Why would yöu do that?
It's more than my age and
my position at the academy.
Our allegiance is to the Moroi.
If I let myself love,
I wouldn't throw myself
in front of the princess.
I would throw myself
in front of yöu.
It's funny.
yöur reasons for not
loving me just...
make me love yöu more.
I want yöu to kiss me without a
magic charm forcing yöu to do it.
That's not a great idea.
Please.
Everyone's at the banquet. Just...
one last kiss.
Yes! Yes, yes!
Yes! Are yöu not entertained?!

ROSE: My name is Rose Hathaway,
and I'm not yöur
normal teenage girl,
but I guess, is there
really such a thing?
Every life has rules, traditions,
friends and enemies,
sheer terror and incredible joy,
- but I've learned...
- [CAWS]
Whoa! Watch where yöu're
going there, bird.
Are yöu kidding me?
- It's yöu, isn't it?
- [CAWS]
- Come...
- [CAWS]
my shadow-kissed soul mate.
[CAWING]
Well, same to yöu, buddy!
[CAWING CONTINUES]
Now!
Soon.
