(York, England - 1764. Holtz gallops through the countryside at night.)

MAN: We found them.

HOLTZ: Go.

(Inside of a house, dimly lit by a candle. A knock on the door. A young girl opens the door.)

ANGELUS: Ah, is your mother home there, young lady? Will you take us to her?

SARAH: Father said not to let strangers in while he's away.

ANGELUS: But we're not strangers. You're Sarah, aren't you? We know all about you. You're the apple of your father's eye.

DARLA: Would strangers know that?

ANGELUS: So, lass. May two friends enter?

(Sarah steps to the side.)

ANGELUS: Is that a yes then?

SARAH: Yes.

ANGELUS: Ah. Lovely.

DARLA: Such a dear girl. Remind me to give you a special treat.

(back outside, with Holtz)

MAN: They're trapped inside.

(back inside)

ANGELUS: Did you mommy make you that dress Sarah?

CAROLINE: What's all the fuss, love?

ANGELUS: Good evening to you, ma'am.

CAROLINE: Evening.

(outside)

HOLTZ: Burn it down if you have to.

(inside)

ANGELUS: We can only stay for a moment. We have a message for you husband.

CAROLINE: You know my Daniel? What is his message?

DARLA: I'll give it to Sarah, hmm?

(outside)

HOLTZ: On my signal.

DARLA: (to Sarah) Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you.

(Darla looks at the mother, morphs into vamp face and sinks her fangs into Sarah's neck.)

ANGELUS: Tell your husband, Mr. Holtz...

CAROLINE: No... no...

ANGELUS: Never mind. I'll tell him meself.

(Angelus sinks his fangs into her neck.)

(Holtz break in the door, looks around. we realize he's got the wrong place)

HOLTZ: Where are they?

(he finds a note that reads: "How do you hope to save others when you can not save your own?")

HOLTZ: They're at my house.

(back at his house, the baby starts crying)

DARLA: Can something be done about that horrible noise? I think it wants its mother.

ANGELUS: Let's send it to her. Do you wanna do it, or should I?

(later, Holtz arrives and finds his wife dead)
