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.
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!
Fucking cops. Using live bait.
Let's just fill out the report, okay?
I'm not guilty.
Whatever. Tell it to the judge.
Daria Leonidovna...
...you stand accused of violating the truce...
...Article 13, Paragraph B:
"Conspiracy and premeditated attempt to assassinate."
Job and position?
I'm a gardener.
Oh, yeah? You got a gardener's license?
Sure.
Someone gave you a license for that?
Who are you people?
He can see us?
He can now.
He's an Other.
Come to me.
Come.
Come. I'm waiting.
You sure he's an Other?
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 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!
Wearing sunglasses indoors, screeching like a lunatic.
Get a job.
Sorry.
Come.
I'm waiting.
You. Let's see some ID.
Anton Gorodetsky.
Take off your shades.
Have you been drinking?
Just blood.
Drunk on blood.
Drunk, all right.
Drunk and disorderly.
Freeze!
Grab him!
What the fuck you been drinking?
Get the hell out of here.
Come to me.
Got your location. 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. Come here.
Do it.
Boy? Where are you?
This is Night Watch.
Step out of the Gloom now.
- Take the cross-town, it's faster... - You wanna drive?
Simeon, stop, it's red!
Run, boy!
Using live bait, pig?
No live bait. Just me.
Andrei!
My teeth!
Sorry.
Hello? Anton?
Did you get the address?
Twelve.
- What was that? - Number 12.
- No, he said "10." - 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. - Is he all right?
You know how many number 12's there are on Cold Street?
Yes, yes, is he all right?
Bring him to me right away.
CITY LIGHT COMPANY
On my desk!
Now!
All right, all of you out...
...right now. Go on.
Every Night Watch officer...
...must be proficient in combat.
I don't need my people...
...dying...
...or killing anyone else.
You should have gone into the Gloom...
...arrested the vampire.
Not smashed him to bits.
But everyone's acting crazy lately. Dark and Light, breaking the rules.
It's like something's in the air.
I saw...
Go ahead. Tell me.
On the metro.
A woman.
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.
Long ago, when the world was young there was a virgin in Byzantium.
She was a good woman, pure and kind...
... and someone cursed her.
Wherever she went, misfortune followed.
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.
In 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. If 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.
Young, beautiful, reckless, you know the type.
Anyway, Andrei ate her like a midnight snack.
Now he's dead and she's starving.
Then this will be easy.
- Give it to me! - 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.
Owls are known for their merciless killing instincts.
Every Other has to choose...
...Light or Dark.
Which one are you?
I'm not a killer.
I didn't want him to die!
Find out where she lives and works...
...everyone she's come in contact with in the last three days.
We've got to find who put this damned curse on her.
Every minute matters, understand?
If we can lift the curse...
...we might stop the Final Battle before it starts.
