In an abandoned factory freezer, Marie reveals her dark secret to a horrified Michael, confessing that she is a centuries-old cursed being born in 1559. She details the origins of her transformation following a wrongful witchcraft accusation and the gruesome reality of her annual need to feed on human flesh. The scene explores the breakdown of their relationship as Michael struggles to reconcile the woman he loves with the monster she admits to being.
MICHAEL: Marie? I’m a rational man, I am. But what the hell is she talking about?
MARIE: I can’t tell you.
MICHAEL: You can. Who are you? What are you? What are you turning into? If you ever loved me, make this make sense. Please.
MARIE: My name is Marie Von Stauffenberg. I was born in Bavaria to Berthold and Wendelin Brandt in 1559.
MICHAEL: [Silence]
MARIE: In 1582, I had my first child. In 1586, I had my second. She died a few minutes after she was born. It was a different time then and I... I thought the midwife had killed her.
