Episode 1: "First Day, First Blood"
It starts with a man named James. He's in the bathroom, washing his face. Cold water drips. His reflection looks tired. Dark eyes. No smile.
> "I hope I finally get this job. God… please."
It's his first day in Britain. A whole new country. New city. He left everything behind. Because something in him wants to find something... or someone.
> "I already got rejected twice. This is my last chance. Let's try this country."
He walks through the streets. The wind cuts through his coat. Everything looks gray. Everything feels fake. But James keeps walking.

[Police HQ - Interview Room]
James sits in a cold chair. Across from him is Sir Richard, the division leader. Gray hair, firm eyes, the kind of guy who's seen too much.
> Sir Richard: "So, Mr. James... why do you want to join the police?"
> James: "Sir, to bring justice. Real justice."
> Sir Richard: "Do you understand how this division works?"
> James: "Not all of it. But I will work hard. I'll earn it."
Richard stares. Then slowly nods.
> Sir Richard: "Alright. You're in. But don't screw up."
James nods back. No smile. Just a quiet fire in his eyes.

[Later - Police Station, Common Area]
James meets Leo. He's a little nervous but friendly.
> James: "Yo. What's up with that Stephen guy? You know anything?"
> Leo: "Nah, bro. I just joined two days ago. Still learning faces."
> James: "Ah. So Stephen's the rude guy, huh?"
> Leo: "Pretty much. Keeps to himself. Talks rough."
Then enters Lisa. Calm energy. Eyes that see everything.
> Lisa: "Wsp, guts? Y'all look like ghosts."
> James: "You Lisa, right? I'm James."
> Lisa: "Yeah yeah. You from?"
> James: "London. Came here alone. Needed a change."
> Lisa: "Korea. Came for different reasons."
> James: "Nice. So... what now?"
Stephen walks in. Leather gloves. Unimpressed face.
> Stephen: "You two. Your first mission. We got a double homicide in Sector 3. Let's move."
> James: "Oh, already? Sounds complicated."
> Lisa: "Relax. Me and Stephen got experience. You guys? You'll catch up. Maybe."

[Mission Scene - Sector 3, Abandoned House]
They pull up to a crumbling house. Snow falling. Crime scene tape halfway ripped.
Suddenly—a gunshot!
James reacts fast. No panic. Instinct. He dives, draws his weapon, fires once.
> Stephen: "WATCH OUT!"
A man stumbles out of the shadows, bleeding.
> James: "Got him."
They secure the area. First mission complete.
Back at HQ, they sit around.
> James: "Not gonna lie. That was a heart attack, man."
> Stephen: "Hey, kid. Drink this."
Stephen hands him wine.
> James: "Wait... you? You're actually chill? Thought you were just rude."
> Stephen: "Name's Stephen. Don't get used to it."
He walks off.

[Next Morning - New Case]
Another body.
A woman. Ripped apart. Her chest torn open. But no blood around.
> Stephen: "This ain't normal. Who could've done this...?"
> Leo: "Looks like a psycho."
> James: "I got blood under her nails. She scratched the killer. But still... no blood anywhere?"
> Stephen: "It's like it was drained."
> James: "Looks like... a vampire."
> Leo: "Bro. Don't say that."
> Stephen (serious): "Exactly. A vampire hit. But why tear her meat? That's not draining. That's... punishment."
They all stand there. Cold air. No answers.
Somewhere else... a camera watches from the shadows. Martin smiles behind a mask.
