[Flashback: Virginia Colony, 1609. The sun is shining on Darla as she is lying in bed. There are two veiled sisters standing at the foot of her bed watching as a doctor takes a leech from her arm.]
Someone close the shutters. [One of the sisters does so.] Seems wrong that I should die while the sun is still so bright.
[A hooded priest enters the room.]
You'll not see it again. Before it sets, you will have left this life.
I didn't ask for a priest. Who invited him here?
You did. You cried out for me last night in your delirium.
I don't remember. Do you even know what I am?
A woman of some property. No husband, no inheritance. Yes. I know what you are.
I'm a whore.
Well, yes, that too. You should have asked for a priest long ago, child. Your life may have been the better for it.
And you should have paid me a visit before today, father. Your life may have been more interesting because of it.
Are you prepared now to renounce Satan and beg God his forgiveness?
God never did anything for me.
[to the others] Leave us.
[The two sisters leave.]
[To the doctor still sitting at her bedside] You can't save her life - perhaps I can still save her soul.
[The doctor gets up and leaves.]
My soul is well past saving. Let the devil take me if he'll have me. It doesn't matter. Either way, I die.
No... [The priest steps closer and pulls his hood back to reveal - The Master] ...you will not die. [Darla looks up at his inhuman face without flinching.] You will be reborn.
I know you.
[The Master leans down and takes one of Darla's hands in his.]
I came to you last night. I sang to you from that window.
Hmm, I remember now. You're death?
No.
What then?
I'm your savior. God never did anything for you - but I will.
[With that he leans down and sinks his fangs into her neck.]
