This makes Michael realize that Milo has taken the serum as well and has become just like him. Interestingly, he also leaves his walking stick in the cell. He is incarcerated when Milo visits him, but before leaving, he hands him a blood bag.

Trying to escape, he tries to escape, but ultimately has to surrender to the police. He was already on the radar of the police for the death of the men on the ship. The death of a nurse at the hospital where Martine is admitted (she and Michael work there) as a result of the injuries she sustained on the ship put Michael in the spotlight. So, when Milo meets Michael after the event and sees his friend standing strong, he asks him for the serum. The ship was in international waters, and the whole thing was funded by Milo. He ends up killing numerous men who were on the ship with him and Martine Bancroft, where they were working on the serum. But as soon as that gets depleted, his only survival is human blood. For the time being, he has his artificial blood. It gives him the lust for blood, without which he cannot survive for long. When Michael tests the serum on himself, he does get better, but it takes a larger toll on him. But things are not as straightforward as they seem. His whole research is funded by his childhood friend Milo, and so he goes to his place to tell him about his latest success. His hopes rise when his test on a mouse is successful.

He wants to merge the genes of the vampire bats with his DNA, which will work as a cure for his disease. Years later, Michael is awarded the Nobel Prize for his development of artificial blood, but he denies it, deeming it a futile prize for a byproduct (the artificial blood) of a failed experiment. Nicholas wants him to attend a special school to sharpen his mind and talents. Both Michael and Milo suffer from the same blood disease that requires them to be supported even to walk, as weak as it makes them. We are in Greece, where we see Michael Morbius and his close friend Lucian, AKA Milo, as kids at a medical facility for children under the care and guidance of Dr. And soon enough, a huge number of vampire bats swoop out of the cave following the scent of the blood, and we lose sight of Michael among them. Michael slits his left hand with a knife and points it towards the trap, as if to lure whatever is inside the cave. The film begins with Michael Morbius setting up a trap at the mouth of a cave in Cerro De La Muerta, Costa Rica he intends to get hold of vampire bats that will help him find a cure for an otherwise incurable blood disease for mankind, a disease that is killing him as well.
