Subspecies: The Awakening

Serena, who has been watching all along, sees in Dr Lazar a human with the necessary strength to kill Radu. The next day, the three doctors go looking for the tomb which is the entrance to the vampire underground. Lazar finds it, and she and Nicolescu go underground while Dr Lupu [Dan Astileanu] waits outside. (Unbeknown to them, Serena has given them a key that only works from the outside. Her plan is for Lazar to kill Radu and then be unable to escape.) The two doctors make their way to Radu's resting place but, as they are about to cut off his head, Radu wakes up and cuts off Nicolescu's head instead. Radu holds Lazar captive and summons Michelle to drink from her. Michelle refuses and slices Radu's neck instead. Lazar finishes the job. They secure the bloodstone, burn Radu's body, take Radu's head out into the sunlight, and try to escape the tomb. But Ash and Serena follow. As they attempt to drink from Lazar, her screams bring an old lady who opens the tomb. They get a coffin and retrieve Michelle and the bloodstone. [Original Synopsis by BJ Kuehl.]
