"A Night for the Living, A Mourning for the Dead!" "Osaka" "(siren wailing)" "There have been a lot of disappearances lately." "Yeah." "The number suddenly skyrocketed over the past few months." "Even if you just count the ones that have been identified, it's a lot of people." "Damn." "Sure is an embarrassment for the police." "Police coming through!" "Move out of the way!" "(sighs)" "Huh?" "Sakomizu, you're late!" "Sorry!" "Honestly." "I'm sorry." "The chiefs always get there first." "Huh?" "(GASPS)" "What's wrong, Mr. Sakomizu?" "Forget it." "It's probably nothing." "(MEOWS)" "It seems that all 12 rooms were occupied by female migrant workers." "But they were crammed in here like sardines." "Apparently, more than 30 people lived here." "However, the exact number hasn't been confirmed." "(sighs)" "Hmm?" "Mr. Sakomizu." "Did you find any clues that might help us with the case?" "Nope." "I don't think we'll find anything else in here." "What about you, Ikeda?" "I questioned some people in the neighborhood, and none of them heard anything, but..." "But what?" "Many of them reported seeing a black man wearing a black trench coat." "A man wearing a black coat..." "Why don't you call it a day?" "Mr. Sakomizu, didn't you say it was your daughter's birthday?" "I'll take over from..." "No." "No, let's canvas the neighborhood." "Damn it, what's going on?" "You'd think such a conspicuous black man would be easy to trace." "MAN: (OVER radio) Attention, all units." "A brawl at Sakanishi Industries has been reported." "All nearby vehicles, respond immediately." "Damn, why did this have to happen when we're so busy?" "Huh?" "This is car 305." "Copy that." "We're on our way." "What?" "We're going?" "Most of the cases are happening in the Sakanishi industrial area." "It may be related." "(LOUD banging)" "Who the hell are you?" "(GROANS)" "BLADE:" "Nuisances like him are everywhere." "It's not easy to gather information." "I knew it." "Talk." "Who are your associates?" "(SlRENS wailing)" "Huh?" "(exclaims) Ikeda, call an ambulance!" "(panting)" "(MAN groaning)" "(THUDDlNG)" "The man in the black coat!" "Don't move!" "Police!" "Drop your weapons!" "(GASPS)" "(GROANS)" "Mr. Sakomizu." "(stuttering) The man in the black coat." "You okay?" "(WHlMPERS)" "Don't hit me." "Calm down and aim." "Even if you tell me to calm down, it's difficult." "I'm calling for backup!" "This is car 305..." "(SCREAMS)" "(GROANS)" "Start driving." "Where do you plan on going?" "It's obvious." "The police station." "Huh?" "(siren wailing)" "SAKOMlZU:" "Who the hell are you?" "And those guys back there..." "How does a human being burst into flames like that?" "That wasn't a human." "They definitely exist." "They?" "Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about." "What do you hope to accomplish at the station?" "You're not thinking of turning yourself in, are you?" "One of your colleagues is part of a group responsible for kidnapping all these women." "I want to ask him where the missing victims are." "Colleague?" "What do you mean?" "You'll understand soon." "(ALL murmuring)" "MAN:" "Who's that?" "(CLEARS THROAT) ls the Chief in his office?" "Yes." "He's in his office." "Thank you." "(BOTH panting)" "What's going on?" "It's him!" "Blade has infiltrated the building!" "Blade?" "He's coming here." "(GROANS)" "Sorry to interrupt." "You..." "(YELLS)" "BLADE:" "Look at this emblem." "He's a member of the Existence organization." "They betrayed humans and destroyed evidence to protect Existence." "is that true, Lieutenant?" "is that why you were always first at the scene?" "Let me go!" "I just did what the Chief told me to do!" "That's disgusting!" "You're a cop, man!" "If there's one thing I hate, it's a dirty cop!" "Tell me everything you know." "(laughing)" "The connections go deep." "We're everywhere." "We have human accomplices all over the world." "The government, the police force, even organized crime." "We humans will continue to co-exist with them!" "You can't break that bond." "Even with your power." "BLADE:" "So these fools believe that the Existence will win." "And humans expect protection when that happens." "They're naive to think that way when they have no proof." "Bond?" "What do you mean?" "You bastards teamed up with the Yakuza and the monsters." "What happened to the missing women?" "(SCOFFS)" "They're part of the bargain." "What?" "If we can buy this country's protection with some illegals that no one cares about, that's a good deal." "Tell me where the women are, you bastard!" "Are you okay?" "I wear body armor." "And silver bullets don't work on me." "Silver?" "What are you?" "Whatever." "What a mess." "It was right in front of me the whole time, and I missed it!" "(GRUNTS)" "You know everything now." "The hard part comes after." "BLADE:" "You have a family, don't you?" "Go home." "I'd like to, but I should make use of the Chief's silver bullets." "I'll stick with you till the end." "That's odd." "What is?" "There should be rats down here, but I haven't seen a single one." "Can you see in this dark?" "(YOWLS)" "Look." "Huh?" "What's that?" "A sure sign we've tracked them to their lair." "What do you mean?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Who are you?" "I'm in charge here." "My name is Tanaka." "I've been waiting." "Let me greet you again." "Welcome to Existence's human farm!" "A human farm?" "They're our food supply." "As well as our organization's source of funds." "They're gathered here under our stewardship, and used as blood supply." "What have you done?" "Don't worry." "They're alive." "We can't sell their blood if they're dead, anyway." "They're important merchandise." "You make me sick." "Where's Deacon Frost?" "He's long gone." "Already left the country." "That's all I can say." "But you will never leave Japan." "(GROWLlNG)" "(SNARLlNG)" "Are these monster cats?" "Let's start by seeing what you're made of!" "Bend down." "Huh?" "I'm very impressed!" "Here I go!" "You get those women down!" "Wait!" "I'll save you now!" "(GRUNTlNG)" "(coughing)" "It's all right." "Everything's gonna be fine." "(CATS SNARLlNG)" "You bastard." "I was waiting for this." "Have you ever come across a vampire species known as the Water Tiger?" "No?" "Well, you're in for a treat." "I'm one of them." "(SNARLlNG)" "In water, I am invincible." "And you are powerless." "Do you understand now?" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "(GUN firing)" "Who are you?" "It doesn't matter." "We gotta get the rest of these women out of here, fast!" "Your role has ended." "Die and rot away!" "Yeah, that's better." "I like my dinner to put up a little fight." "I'm overjoyed." "(GRUNTS)" "Let's quit playing games."

"Yeah, something important." "What's that?" "Run!" "Hurry!" "(WOMEN screaming)" "I don't have time to waste." "Wait!" "It's a nice picture of you." "You should send it to your folks." "Thank you, Mr. Sakomizu." "No, I'm not the one who saved you." "If those two hadn't been there, it wouldn't have ended like this." "What great superheroes." "Mr. Sakomizu, sorry about yesterday!" "Don't worry about it." "I couldn't run away, so I ended up in a mess." "Seems that way." "(BOTH laughing)" "So please forget all of this." "I will report to my superiors." "So, Mr. Sakomizu, write it all up as an accident, okay?" "It was your daughter's birthday yesterday, wasn't it?" "It'd be a shame if that was her last one." "Don't you think?" "It's all over." "Got it?" "No, it's just beginning." "And I have a lot of work ahead of me." "Well, I guess I'll buy her birthday present a day late and go home." "Kobe Port" "Where is Deacon Frost?" "In the Philippines." "I'm sorry, mister." "I had to." "I can't control it." "Sunlight has no effect on you." "Extraordinary." "So you're a Daywalker." "I never really thought they existed."
