"Bad Blood" "When a creature of the deepest darkness yields to the power of a pure soul, it is supposed to vanish into the volcanoes of Swarnadwipa..." "Do you believe the legend that that kid, Danas, was talking about?" "We can't let the intel go to waste, no matter how trivial it may seem." "For now, that's all we have to go on." "So Swarnadwipa is..." "Sumatra." "It was called that in ancient Roman times." "Still, going by ship will be too slow." "What is it, Razor?" "Good evening, Daywalker." "What the hell?" "Exactly." "Hell's messenger, in fact." "A minion of the Vampire Council." "I prefer employee." "If you're seeking Deacon Frost, you'll find him on the island of Sumatra." "He has a silver mine there." "And he's continuing his research on that abhorrent subspecies." "If you don't hurry, human sacrifices will increase yet again." "No need to tell me." "I will kill Frost with my own hands, and eradicate your kind." "Sibayak Mt., Sumatra" "Look, there's that Existence glyph again." "So he really is here." "Seems so." "He sure has dug a lot of holes." "But thanks to these bad boys that Van Helsing gave us, we'll be making a few of our own." "Wait!" "Please!" "You're here for them, aren't you?" "You've come to destroy them." "Who are you?" "I'm a shaman from the nearby village." "My people call me Agus." "Listen to me, please." "Whatever you're planning, you mustn't do it!" "What do you mean?" "If you attack them, you will be putting this entire village at risk!" "Don't worry about it." "We'll make sure none of your people get hurt." "Makoto, let's move." "No, wait!" "Listen!" "I'm begging you." "At least hear me out." "You don't understand." "It's important!" "Please come with me." "They came six months ago, mining for silver..." "First, they took our men to work the mine..." "Then they started taking the women, too." "So now they're using slave labor?" "What I don't get is why vampires would want to mine silver." "It's poison to them." "I have no idea." "Whatever their reason, they took everyone in the village." "They tried to take my wife, but I outsmarted them and got her back." "This is my home." "Where's your wife?" "She's sleeping." "My wife." "Yati." "By the time I finally found and saved her, they'd already made her one of them." "No!" "Let me show you." "No fangs?" "But I thought you said..." "It's because of the sacred water." "The what?" "By immersing her in this water," "I'm able to slow the effects of the vampire's bite." "And given time, I will cure her." "You'll cure her?" "I am the village medicine man." "I have sanctified the water." "It will save her and the other women as well, if I can only find a way to get it to them." "Every single woman in your village is a vampire now?" "We're running out of time." "I've made enough for all of them, but I'm going to need your help." "Do you really think this stuff of yours can make them human again?" "I know it." "If the water is blessed and renewed each day, it will slowly but surely draw out the infection." "The darkness will be lifted from them and they will be cured." "There's no guarantee this snake oil will work." "What are you talking about?" "Of course it will!" "Trust me, I know." "Once a vampire, always a vampire." "There's no magic cure." "You're wrong!" "You say that because you don't understand." "But you've seen it!" "I can cure the others, just as I've cured my wife!" "Play with your magic, medicine man." "I've got work to do." "Wait." "Please!" "Don't go, I need you!" "All right, dinner break!" "And I don't mean for you, you lazy swine." "Who's first?" "Dinner's served, Sundel Bolong!" "Come and get it!" "Could it be true?" "If it really worked, it would make vampires human." "He's a fool." "Vampirism can't be cured." "It's a myth." "A fairy tale." "Greetings, Daywalker." "I'm afraid I was rude the other day when I greeted you only by voice." "I am Lucius Isaac." "I'm pleased to make your acquaintance." "What are you doing?" "By all means, go ahead and destroy the mining facilities in all haste." "You seem to be losing your composure." "And you're a bit too hasty." "If you keep it up, we nobles will have nothing to fear." "So, how long before your wife fully recovers?" "We need time." "We need time." "At any rate, that Agus man is really quite ridiculous." "Humans are silly creatures." "That a person who becomes a vampire can be made human again, as if it had never happened." "Really?" "You too, dear?" "Don't tell me you actually believe that nonsense of his!" "If you could have cured your mother, you wouldn't have had to kill her, right?" "Dear me, I seem to have struck a nerve." "How insensitive of me." "Makoto!" "You guys stay put!" "You're boring me." "Playtime's over." "Make sure you amuse me a little more when next we meet." "Who the hell does that conceited jerk of a vampire think he is?" "What was all that?" "He's just running away because it's morning!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!" "I'm bruised from head to toe." "Vampires become stronger with age, you know." "You're no match for him." "You're lucky to be alive." "Well, no offense, but I could say the same for you, tough guy." "What the shaman, Agus, said about there being a cure to this... ls it possible he's right?" "I don't know." "If he is right, it would change everything." "I guess I..." "Well, it'd be nice to think you could bring someone back." "That there was an antidote..." "You know, like for a snakebite." "But it sounds too good to be true." "To think the day might come when the battle is over." "It's almost unimaginable." "It's all I've ever done since I was a boy." "I've devoted my entire life to destroying every last one of them." "Even my own mother." "And your father." "Right." "My father... I hated you for that..." "But you were only doing what you had to do." "If you hadn't done it, he would have taken me with him." "I would have been one of them." "Like your mother." "We have to move on." "I think I understand what he meant." "It freaked me out at first, but now I understand." "You have to fight the darkness, not give into it!" "So, snap out of it!" "We've got work to do." "Sure, if this cure works, we'll be out of a job soon." "But until that day arrives..." "We've got vampires to hunt." "So what are we sitting around for?" "Nothing." "You're right." "Let's go." "Yati!" "Well?" "Don't just stand there, you're free!" "Things are gonna get ugly, so if I were you, I'd get moving!" "Why are you here?" "It's my wife." "She's gone." "I can only assume that something has drawn her here to be with the others." "Before I let you pass, you must give me your word." "Promise me that if you find her, you won't kill her!" "I can't do that." "You saw her, she's not like the others!" "She's almost cured!" "She wants to be human again, that's all she wants!" "No." "By now, all she wants is blood." "The woman who was your wife is a vampire." "Nothing you do will change that." "But the sacred water..." "Enough!" "Time to end the charade!" "I don't think even you really believe in it." "There is no magic cure." "Once they've been made vampires, there's just no bringing them back." "Your wife is gone." "Yati!" "Yati." "Yati." "When I couldn't find you, I was so worried!" "I'd given up hope..." "But everything's all right now." "She's turned." "No, wait!" "Yati." "Do you remember this?" "It was you who gave it to me." "On our wedding anniversary!" "It's me, Agus, your husband!" "Yati..." "Yati... I got this!" "Go on!" "Leave the rest of them to us!" "Go on, get going!" "Razor and I can handle the rest of them!" "On it." "All right, ladies, who's first?" "Agus!" "Are you okay?" "I was a fool..." "After all, I couldn't even save my own wife." "And now, no one will be able to save me." "What is it, boy?" "Man, how many more are there?" "There's something I must ask you." "What is it?" "If you're gonna ask me to spare your life, you can forget it." "You'll never stop them all." "Help me gather the living and lead them to the lake." "Wait." "Why the lake?" "We must hurry." "While I'm still human." "That's far enough, Blade..." "How dare you slaughter my Sundel Bolong?" "They were not yours to kill." "They were entrusted to me by Deacon Frost." "Where is Frost?" "Not here." "He left days ago for another island." "Hell on earth, some humans call it." "Madripoor?" "Follow him there and you'll never get out alive." "On the other hand, why postpone the inevitable?" "Why don't I just kill you now?" "You should have stayed in the sunlight where you belong, Daywalker!" "So, what now?" "They're here!" "Of course they are. I knew they'd come." "Forgive me." "Had enough?" "You could always try begging for your life." "Deadly sword technique #2:" "Phantom Moon" "Way to go, old man!" "It worked!" "Stay back!" "When I blessed this water, I sealed my own fate." "It's too late for me." "But perhaps you'll succeed where l failed." "Take this sacred water." "Put it to good use." "Let it help you bring this pestilence to an end." "Farewell." "So, where are we off to now?" "A hellhole." "Home to thieves, murderers and vampires." "It's probably the worst place on earth." "Can't wait." "Let's do it." "I'm almost there." "One more step and I'll be out of this hellhole and way up there right where I belong." "Madripoor is crawling with a bunch of lowlifes." "Humans and vampires alike." "It's no surprise that being on Deacon Frost's tail would lead me here." "Just one question, Blade." "What's she really doing here?" "Answer me, Blade." "Next Time on Blade:" "Claws and Blades" "Claws and Blades"
