Sam, m'boy, you know you're missin' somethin', right? Some integral part of your father and brother that you don't have. You're a mighty fine actor, Sammy. Flawless. But I know. And so do you.

Your daddy and big brother care, Sam. They love people, even with all their faults. It's why they hunt what they call the darkness. But you… oh, you don't. You only have room in your heart for one person, son, and that's your brother.

And you pretend so well you fooled yourself. You wanted to be normal, to feel, so you fled to California and chose a girl and made her believe you loved her.

Tell me, Sammy—did you ever notice how similar to your brother pretty little Jess was? Same hair, same eyes, nearly the same height, same sense of humor, same music… she was home to you, Sam.

Of course she had to die. Just like your brother will die if you continue to defy me.

Don't fret, son of mine. Do as I say and your brother remains untouched. Even protected. Why do you think he's survived so long?

Don't give me that look. What happens next is up to you. I can't return what's missing from you, that tiny piece of humanity that burned with dear Mommy. I can't extract from you what I gave that night, the sacrificial blood I dropped on your tongue.

Nor would I if I could. You're my favorite, the best and the darkest, the only one that might be standing at the end.

So, Sammy… what's it gonna be? Refuse my offer and he dies. Take my offer… and he's yours forever, to have and to hold, 'til infinity burns.

Well, m'boy? What's it gonna be?
