"As long as humanity has existed, there have been Others among us." "They're human, yet they have abilities beyond those of ordinary men." "Witches, sorcerers, shape-shifters... the Others are as varied as stars in the sky." "The Others are soldiers in the eternal war:" "The struggle between Dark and Light." "Light Others protected mankind from the Dark Others... who plagued and tortured humans." "Legend tells of a day when the two armies met on a bridge." "Geser, lord of the Light... and Zavulon, general of the Darkness, faced each other." "And neither one would give way." "And so began a great battle... bloody and merciless." "Zavulon gloried in the slaughter." "But Lord Geser wept." "As the screams of the dying reached heaven..." "Geser realized the armies were equally matched... and he knew that unless the fighting stopped... every last soul would perish." "So he stopped the battle." "Thus, the forces of Light and Darkness forged a truce." "Geser spoke for the Light... and Zavulon spoke for the Darkness." "And these things were agreed:" "No one could be forced to good or evil without choosing freely." "The soldiers of Light would be called Night Watch... making sure Dark Others obeyed the truce." "And the soldiers of Darkness would be called Day Watch, to do the same." "And so the balance would be kept for centuries to come." "But one day, an Other would come... more powerful than any before him." "Like all Others, he would have to choose between Light and Dark." "And his choice would change the balance forever." "Hi." "I'm here about your ad." "Did you bring a picture?" "Yes." "Hold on a sec." " Here." " Let me see it." "Come inside." "It's messy in here, go on into the kitchen." "Have a seat, son." "Take it easy." "You don't mind that I call you son, do you?" "You're all like sons to me." "Look, here's what happened..." "I know what happened..." "Anton." "You loved her, married her... and then two days ago, she packs her bags... and leaves you for another man." "See?" "I know everything." "The women in my family have the gift." " Don't worry, I'll fix your little problem." " Look, I just don't get it..." "What's not to get?" "She's pregnant, you know." "Pregnant." "And the baby's not yours." "It's no problem to get her back... but the baby will pull her away from you, to the real father." "And destroying an innocent child..." " is a great sin." " Is that so?" "Oh, yes." "So you're saying to get my wife back... we need to kill an unborn child..." "It's easy." "I'll just clap my hands, like this... and it will die, she'll miscarry." "But you must take the sin upon yourself." " Well, I don't know..." " Will you?" "Take it?" " The sin?" " The sin." " Yeah, sure." " Let's shake?" "What the hell." "Don't worry." "It won't hurt." "We just... mix everything up." "Lemonade?" "Don't worry." "Drink this." "Don't worry, everything's sterile with me." "Are you kidding?" "It's..." "Are the ingredients important?" "Or the effect?" " The effect." " Then drink it." "Go ahead." "What's the matter?" "I can't be with you." "Good boy!" "Now we have to take care of the brat." "No." "Stop." "Stop." "No!" "Sit still, witch!" "Get her hands!" "Don't let her clap!" "Get her hands!" "Help me, Mashenka!" "Hurry, stupid doll!" "Get away!" "Get away from me!" "Don't let her clap..." "Tiger Cub!" "Help!" "Help, somebody!"

"Yeah, look, he's a seer." "A seer?" "Just what we need." "Another asshole with visions of the future." "Visions?" "What do you mean, "visions"?" "Don't get any ideas." "You're not playing the lotto or anything." "Visions can't be controlled." "Why is it so dark?" "You've slipped into the Gloom." "It's a place only Others can go." "I don't understand." " Everything's so different." " Don't worry." "The world hasn't changed." "Just you." "Anton Gorodetsky." "We'll show you the proper techniques for using live bait... such as minnows and night crawlers..." "Yes." "We got it." "Already?" "There's not much time, it's almost dark." "It's going to be cold tonight." "Dress warm." "They're using the Call to lure the victim to them." "We've traced it to the orange subway line, but that's as far as we got." "You'll have to track them on foot from there." "You have to get on the same frequency as the victim." "Hear what he hears." "Feel the Call, like he does." "Can you feel it yet?" " No." "You will." "A victim hearing the Call will have high blood pressure, and may bleed." "The Call puts him in a sort of trance." "He doesn't think about where he's going, he just knows he has to get there." "Any signs he sees along the way... he tells himself they're instructions." "Anything he hears, he takes for an order." "What do you want?" "Go away." "Where?" "Don't let him out of your sight." "Understand?" "I got it." "Don't forget your weapon." "Got it." "And use the right light bulb this time." "You'll know you've found the victim... when you hear the Call as clear as he does." "If you're not feeling it yet... try another swig of the red stuff." "I'm out of the shit." "Need me to get more?" "No, I'll handle it." "Anton." "What are you doing up at this hour?" "Just let me get dressed." "Hi, neighbor." " Hey, Pop." " I told you not to bring anyone here." "He's cool." "It's still warm." "Is it pig's?" "Pig's blood is almost exactly like human's." "They even use pigs' organs for transplant these days." ""They" who?" "Humans." "We like you very much, Anton." " Who?" " Our family." "Me and Kostya." "Why did you bring him here?" "Because he's turned into one of us." "No, Kostya." "He's a Light Other, one of the Night Watch." "They drink blood under only one condition:" "When they hunt vampires like us." "Bear!" " Bear!" " What?" "He still hasn't called?" "Try him again!" "He's not picking up." "Why not?" "Fine." "I'll call him again." "Where the hell is he?" "Underground, probably." "Must be." "I'm waiting." "Come to me." "Come to me." "Come now." "You feel like shit, huh?" "I feel like chewing your fucking ear off." "Don't you push me!" "What's wrong with you?" "Quit shoving!"

"Cold Street." "What's the address?" "Anton?" "What's wrong?" "Anton, don't switch the phone off..." "Let's move." "I gotta drop some pounds." "Go on." "Drink him." "I can't do it." "Wait."

" Ask him again!" "Andrei!" "Stop it!" "Let him go!" "Andrei!" "No!" "Zavulon!" "It's Zavulon!" "Andrei, let him go!" "Where are you?" "I don't want to hurt you." "Come out of the Gloom." "I told you it was number 12, but you wouldn't listen." "Get him in the truck." "It's the Day Watch." "Your colleague is charged with the unlawful use of deadly force." "Did he say something?" "I can't hear a thing over the truck engine." "Sorry, we've got an emergency." "You might want to move that nice car." "We wouldn't want to accidentally run over it." "See you." "City Light Company." "This is Geser." "It kind of went bad, sir." " Bad?" "He killed one vampire." " The female escaped." "ls he all right?" "You know how many number 12's there are on Cold Street?"

"Young?" "Pretty?" "Not what I mean." "What?" "The vortex." "Damnation." "The vortex." "I saw it, over her." "Listen carefully, Anton." "You have to take me there." "Take me there." "Tell me." "Quit shoving!" "It was on the metro." "Don't you push me!" "There was a girl... a vortex over her head." "I turned the UV on her." "I thought she was a vampire." "But she was something worse." "It's all right." "It's all right, Anton, come back." "Did you see her?" "Yes." "Remarkable." "Analytical department." "Emergency meeting." "And check the weather forecast... for anything unusual over the city in the next 24 hours." "Gotcha." "TORNADO WARNING FOR MOSCOW!" "LEGENDS OF BYZANTIUM" "She's the Virgin, the girl you saw."

"When she held a candle, it went out." "If she petted a puppy, it died." "When a bird ate from her hand, it dropped to the ground." "ln houses she visited, children died." "The force of the curse opened a vortex of damnation around her." "And with it, the first forces of Darkness were born into the world." "Warriors of Light rose up to fight them... and the great battle between Light and Dark began." "All because one human cursed another." "Legend says that one day the Virgin shall again appear." "Again she shall be cursed... but this time her appearance heralds the last battle." "For when the Virgin returns, the final battle between good and evil shall begin... and the balance will be broken forever." "The Great Other will appear. lf he takes the side of Light, Light will triumph." "But wise men say he will choose the Darkness." "For it is easier for a man to destroy the Light inside himself... than to defeat the Darkness all around him." "The prophecy is coming true." "It's begun." "Zavulon?" "Put Alice on." "It's Zavulon." "Sounds serious." "I'm kind of busy right now." " They killed the hairstylist." " What?" "Andrei." "Busted his head open on a sink." " You know what to do." " I'm on it." "We need to find Andrei's girlfriend." "The one with the burned face." "When did she turn?" "Night Watch licensed Andrei to bite her." "She was so in love with him... she didn't even run."

" You want it bad, don't you?" "Give it to me!" "Andrei taught you how to use the Call." "He did." "Give it to me." "You were the one who called the boy." "Do it again." "And when he's in your hands... demand to see the one who killed your Andrei." "My Andrei." "Please give it to me." "Give me!" "You want revenge, don't you?" " Please." "Please." " Don't torture her." " She'll sure as hell find the brat now." " How?" "She'll sniff him out like a starving dog." "Where are you going?" "I have to find him." "Find who?" "The boy." "What do you think you're going to do?" "You're barely alive." "Your glimpses of the future aren't enough for fieldwork." "Drinking blood, hunting... you're not cut out for it." "That's not the point." "What is?" "We license Dark Others ourselves." "So?" "Then we use innocent humans as live bait, to catch them breaking the truce." "Says who?" "Says me." "I'm saying it." "You don't understand." "You sit in this office... you don't understand anything." "He's just a little boy." "A child." "To her, he's like a glass of water in the desert... torn from her hand before she could take a sip." "If I don't find him, she will." "And she'll suck him dry." "Wait." "I'll give you a partner." "You killed a Dark Other, Anton." "Zavulon won't forgive you for that." "You need protection." "What's that?" "It's Olga." "She'll help you." "What the fuck is this?" "Suit yourself."

"If we can lift the curse... we might stop the Final Battle before it starts." "A lot less messy." "How much time do we have?" "Not a lot." "Is that her?" "Yep." "Svetlana Nazarova, 29 years old." "Works at clinic number 17." "Lives with her mother in Vatutinki... near the airport." "Several incidents indicate a curse:" "Her mom is hospitalized." "Failed kidney, needs a transplant." "A friend's kid got sick after she visited them." "And here's another thing:" "Her neighbor, who she calls "Auntie Valya"... 78 years old, she's a tough old bird... but last night she had to call an ambulance." "Seems all it takes is for this girl to look at you... for something terrible to happen." "Hello." "Hello, Auntie Valya." "That is the cutest puppy." "What kind is it?" "Maxim found her at work." "We can't keep her, she has to go to the pound." "Mom, she can live with us." "Let her live, Auntie Valya." " Take care." " Thank you, Sveta dear." "Olga." "You hungry?"

"The shower... is over there." "Why did they do this to you?" "It was a punishment." "How do I get this to work?" "Up, and left for hot, right for cold." "I mean..." "Yes." "I never heard of a punishment like that." "You've never heard of crimes like these." "Do you have any clothes I can wear?" "Sure." "Just a sec." "You got any women's clothes, by chance?" "What?" "Never mind." "Sorry." "Here." "These were my mom's." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Something wrong?" "No." "Come in for a sec." "You know, Anton... when a Dark Other goes away... goes away for good... we all feel it." "That's the way it is, neighbor." "It's the truce." "You know how it works." "How does it work, Anton?" "Your guys and our guys have a deal... that allows everything, as long as we take turns?" "Well, there is one thing I don't get." "Why does your kind get to issue us licenses, and not the other way around?" "You know what our hunger is, you've felt it yourself." "Anton?" " Yes, I have." " Anton?" "Wait." "What's this for?" "It's soap." "What do you want me to say?" "He was a cool guy." " What?" " He was a cool guy!" ""Cool guy"?" "He was a killer." "He killed defenseless people." "He turned a girl into a vampire." "She's like you now, only much worse." "She doesn't know how to live with it." "You licensed him to turn her." "Maybe they wanted to be immortal together." "They loved each other." "I did my job." "That was good." "I've been waiting 60 years for a hot shower." "Nice vampire you've got there." "He doesn't feed on the living." "Maybe not now, but the time will come, won't it?" "Yes!" "And when I do, I'll come to you legally... and you'll give me a fucking license... won't you, neighbor?" "Let him go." " He's my friend." " He's a vampire." " He's an Other." " He wanted to kill you." " He brought you clothes." " We're still enemies." "Get dressed." "Are these clothes in style?" "Don't know." "They're all we've got." "Don't you have a girlfriend?" "I did once." "A long time ago." "How long ago?" "Just long." "Where is she now?" "Don't know." "It's been 12 years." "Did you take your medicine?" "Did you take your Andipal?" "Good boy."

"They're real, I saw them." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Zhenya?" "ls that you?" "No?" "When do you expect her back?" "Baby, what's up?" "Baby, need a ride?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "I'm looking for Zhenya." "Have you seen her?" "No?" "Thanks a lot." "Great." "So nobody's home." "Here, here's your medicine." "Take it right now, you hear me?" "The keys." "They're real, I saw them." " Who's real?"

" Give me your hand." " Five." " Give me your hand." "Four." "I'm not afraid of you." "Now." "Open your eyes." "Don't touch him." "He's already lost." "If we stay longer, the Gloom will take us too." "The Gloom has started to take me." "We have to save Yegor." "Distract the Gloom, feed it... and we can slip him out." "Give it blood." "It was so dark." "Why was it so dark?" "Did you do that?" "No." "It's called the Gloom." "You can see it because... you're an Other." "Other?" "I'm not... like normal people?" "Not anymore." "Is that a good thing, or bad?" "Just... different."

"The Dark ones feed on darkness, the Light ones on light." "Understand?" "Like food." "You don't eat normal food?" "Us?" "We would if someone offered." "My bad." "You like dumplings?" "Dumplings?" "I love dumplings." "Look, I just don't get it..." "What's not to get?" "She's pregnant, you know." "And the baby's not yours." "Don't worry, I'll bring her back." "Well, I..." " What's the problem?" " No problem." "What are you muttering about?" "How do I know if it's true?" "Trust me on this." "It's a boy." "Yegor?" "Who's this?" "Mom." "How old are you?" "Twelve."

"Now!" " Okay, okay." "See, I'm calling him." "Please, go away." "Why are you doing this?" "Do you want a drink?" "I've got some with me." " Hello?" " Hello." "Get Anton here!" "She won't wait." "What should we do?" " Have a drink with me." " Are you nuts?" "What?" "Olga, it's Bear." " What's up?" " They lost him." " Who?" " Yegor!" "The vampiress wants Anton!" "Play for time!" "It wasn't for you, Anton." "Tell me what happened!" "What the hell happened?" "The vampire has Yegor." "She wants you to come." "My mother is dying." "It's my fault." "I wanted her to die." "I thought that if it weren't for her..." "I'd have been married with a child long ago." "And as soon as I thought that... the hospital called and said her kidney failed." "That she needed a transplant." "So I offered my own kidney." "I passed the tests... but she refused." "I knew she would." "I did it on purpose, you understand?" "If I'd kept my mouth shut, she would have taken the transplant... but I told her I was the donor, because I knew she'd refuse." "I've cursed myself, I'm damned!" "That's it!" "Anton, you got it." "She cursed herself." "She's an Other." "The curse is lifted." "She's taken it back." "You shouldn't say things like that." ""Damned" isn't just a word." "That's it." "Let's go." "Wait." "Let me." "It's okay." "Here I am!" "Here I am, let him go." "Take off the charm." "Fine." "There." "Toss the flashlight too." " It won't hurt you..." " Do it!" "Okay, okay!" "Just don't do anything stupid." "You want some blood?" "Here." "I want my life." "Then live." "Live!" "Who's stopping you?" "I want to be human again." "You want to be human?" "Then behave like a human being." "Do you behave like human beings?" "I loved him... and you people gave me to him... like food." "And then killed him." "You did." "I had no choice." "He broke the truce." "You, the Light ones, the good ones... you say you protect the world from Darkness." "Where were you when he drank my blood?" "Why can't I drink the boy's?" "Because I won't let you." "Yegor, run!" "Get away." "Get away." "Get away!" "Go on, get back!" "Son of a bitch." "Yegor?" "Lost the charm?" "Where is he?" "Where's my son?" " Yegor!" " You have no right to interfere." "Anton!" "Anton!" "Anton!" "Anton!" "Hush, now, hush." "Take it easy." "I brought you the charm." "Did you really want to kill me?" " No..." " Yes, you did." "No." "Don't believe him, I didn't want to kill you."
