"Claws and Blades" "LOGAN:" "Out of all the backwater islands in the world," "Madripoor is the last one I ever wanted to see again." "Man, I hate this place." "I didn't want to come here, but I had no other choice." "BLADE:" "This hellhole 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." "I really don't have any luck." "MAKOTO:" "is this the package grandpa Noah sent us?" "(GUNSHOT)" "(MAN GROANS) I think someone just got shot." "He's not the first and he won't be the last." "That's how they settle arguments around here." "Okay, are you sure you want to flash all that hardware around on the streets?" "That's the whole point." "There's no law here, no police, nothing." "It's kill or be killed." "(GROANS)" "(GRUNTS) I really hate this place." "What the hell's going on here?" "Just another day in Madripoor." "Well, sounds like someone means business." "Yeah, but it's none of our business." "You take me to the nicest places." "(engines revving)" "(GROANS)" "You're dead!" "(MAN whistles)" "(SCREAMS)" "BLADE:" "Did Deacon Frost send you?" "LOGAN:" "I never thought I'd find you working for A.l.M.!" "Answer me, Blade." "Answer, Logan!" "(rumbling)" "Hold on, the boss didn't say anything about the guy with claws." "What do we do now?" "Seems like they're after you." "I guess so." "MAN:" "Take 'em both out!" "(GROANS)" "(GASPS)" "Well, what do you think?" "They ain't worth it." "Damn it!" "Wait for us!" "BLADE:" "Who are they?" "Local boys." "Probably Viper's gang." "So what brings you here, Blade?" "I just came here." "And immediately you are attacked." "(SCOFFS) Aren't you hurt?" "It's just a scratch." "It'll heal soon." "Not as fast as it would heal on you, though." "So I take it you two know each other?" "Hey, nice moves, by the way, toots." "(SCOFFS) The name's Makoto, okay?" "Mine's Logan." "I don't know Blade very well." "When did we meet, Blade?" "I don't remember." "(laughing)" "You haven't changed." "There!" "Perfect, aren't they?" "I told you I'm the best there is." "It wasn't easy." "Silver's a real bitch to work with." "Especially for large-scale production." "You've got enough of these puppies to start a vampire civil war." "Gerald, I heard you failed to kill Blade." "I won't miss next time." "When we kill Blade and reach the production norm for the weapons, we will have eternal life." "Mr. Frost is not serious enough." "Making us work with these crummy men." "Hey Sergei, I want to help Frost." "I will surely become a vampire." "By the time this is all done," "I'm gonna be running this whole damn island." "And you'll still be a lackey." "Ooh!" "Scary!" "I think you're forgetting what kind of ammo we just finished making." "That's right, tiger." "You better holster those fangs." "'Cause I don't think your dental plan covers silver fillings." "(SNARLlNG)" "(LAUGHS) Attaboy." "There's no reason why we can't get along." "After all, we both play for the same team, right?" "Mr. Frost thought it might be useful." "It's called a Polong." "A vampire native to Malaysia." "One little drop of your blood, and you'll have yourself a very powerful weapon." "One that will obey your every command." "But remember, we want Blade alive." "So no more mistakes." "(LAUGHS)" "Roger that, big guy." "Creepy-looking thing." "But who cares, right?" "I'll do whatever it takes to get me out of here and up there." "I can't wait to see what the view's like from the Dragon Palace." "LOGAN:" "What's wrong, toots?" "Not hungry?" "Go on, eat something." "You need your strength." "Personally, I like a meal that puts up a fight." "(sighs)" "(GRUNTS)" "(GASPS)" "That's good." "(eating noisily)" "Are you sure you're not hungry?" "(sighs) I wouldn't even give this crap to my dog." "Hmm?" "So what are you doing here?" "I'm looking for a group of scientists called the A.l.M., Advanced Idea Mechanics." "A fancy name for what's really just a bunch of murderous thugs." "No wonder they're in Madripoor." "They fit right in." "Every shady organization comes here." "It's the crime capital of the world." "But these guys are the worst out of all of them." "I heard that the A.l.M. is importing a huge amount of weapons." "More importantly, they helped take away someone very special to me." "And they're gonna pay." "(DOOR OPENS)" "Did you find out anything?" "That gang's definitely working for Frost." "I trailed them back to their hideout." "Some sort of munitions plant." "They're turning black-market silver into ammo." "It can only mean one thing." "Existence is declaring open war on the High Council." "So what's the problem?" "I say we sit back and enjoy the show." "Hmm." "Just one question, Blade." "What's that?" "What's she really doing here?" "(STUTTERS)" "Hey, hold on, sideburns!" "What are you getting at?" "(SCOFFS)" "What's she to you?" "She and I are a team." "Yeah, exactly." "We are a team!" "Yeah, I'm just not buying it." "The whole sidekick thing." "Would you just shut up?" "Come on, Blade." "Do the two of you need to tell me something?" "We work together." "It's nothing more than that." "(LOGAN laughing)" "You're just saying that." "What's so funny?" "Looks like someone disagrees with you." "Listen, kid, if you've got something you want to say..." "MAKOTO:" "What a jackass!" "(LOGAN laughing)" "Many things..." "MAKOTO:" "What do you mean?" "Fine, I'm just saying you two might want to figure out where this relationship's going." "Remember, leave Blade to me!" "You touch him, you die." "Got it?" "ALL:" "Right." "I'm almost there." "One more step and I'll be out of this hellhole and way up there right where I belong." "I'll have this whole stinkin' island at my feet, for a change." "Okay, ugly." "Come on and show me what you can do." "(EXCLAlMlNG)" "(BLADE GRUNTlNG)" "LOGAN:" "Man, that serum really puts his body through hell, doesn't it?" "is it like this every time?" "More or less." "Trust me, I've had plenty of experience." "He didn't tell you I'm a mutant?" "(GASPS)" "Yeah, I usually get that kind of reaction." "It's the price I pay for being "gifted."" "Still, there was once a time when I loved someone." "I didn't really mean all that crap I was telling you before." "Stick with him." "You're good for Blade." "Even I can see that." "I try to help." "I do what I can." "To spend your whole life alone is a terrible thing." "He needs you, kid." "More than he even knows." "What's that smell?" "Don't move, kid." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "We've got ourselves a visitor." "(GROWLS)" "Well?" "What are they waiting for?" "A freakin' invitation?" "Give me a break." "Mr. Sergei..." "Wait." "(chuckling) I am a legendary Russian vampire." "No attack can penetrate this steel body." "(HlSSlNG)" "They're everywhere!" "MAKOTO:" "What should we do?" "BLADE:" "Let's go outside." "(GUNS shooting)" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "You deal with the blood-suckers!" "Leave the humans to me!" "Hey, baldy!" "You're in Viper gang territory." "You know what that means?" "By all rights, you should end up sleeping face-down in the harbor." "But I guess this is your lucky day." "Frost will give me eternal life if I take you to him alive." "You will die today." "Why would a human be helping vampires?" "Why the hell not?" "He gets what he wants, I get what I want." "I get control of Madripoor." "And for that, I'd do business with the devil himself." "You believe him?" "Promises from vampires are worth less than nothing." "Yeah, well, I figured you'd say something like that!" "Anyway, you're a half vampire yourself!" "Should I trust you?" "Look at this." "There's enough ammunition here to wipe out the High Council five times over." "We need Frost to be awake as soon as possible." "Don't waste your time." "You have no idea how foolish you're being, little man." "(yelling)" "(GRUNTS)" "(GRUNTlNG)" "Hey, Blade, why aren't you playing with the thing on your back, huh?" "I do not kill humans." "(SCOFFS) I don't need some lecture from a half-breed freak!" "When did you lose every shred of what it means to be human?" "Who would willingly betray his own kind and sell his soul to darkness?" "What?" "Shut the hell up!" "I've heard enough out of you." "(explosion)" "No way." "(GASPS)" "(WHlMPERlNG)" "My entire weapons plant!" "Hey, you!" "Are you enjoying the fire?" "(GROANS)" "Humans really don't know when to stop talking." "Sometimes, they need help." "Good evening, Mr. Daywalker." "What are you doing here?" "I have some bad news." "As much as I would have personally enjoyed watching you and Frost have it out, the High Council, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the party must come to an end." "Frost needs your blood to accomplish his plan." "So I have been ordered to eliminate you." "Thereby killing two birds with one stone." "Easier said than done!" "Come on, now, don't make this harder than it needs to be." "(GROANS)" "It's time to say goodbye." "No, I don't think so, pretty boy." "How was the bite?" "I thought I died for a moment." "You filthy, mutant swine!" "(ROARS)" "Defeated?" "By a human and a half-breed?" "Guess we humans aren't as easy to kill as you thought, huh?" "You stinking' bloodsucker." "You idiots." "Do you think you've won by killing me?" "All you've done is assure Deacon Frost's victory." "No one can stop him now!" "He'll destroy you all!" "Every one of you!" "Blade," "let's continue." "I don't think so." "Don't be stupid." "(groaning)" "Damn you." "Everything was fine till you freaks came along." "It's not fair." "All I wanted was my shot." "Everybody gets their shot, don't they?" "Just one chance." "is that too much to ask for?" "(CHUCKLES)" "Man, I bet the view's beautiful from up there." "Well, here's where we part ways." "I still have to deal with those A.l.M. punks." "I never thought I'd say this, but it was nice working with you." "Likewise, kid." "You keep an eye on 'em, huh, Razor?" "Look, vampires aren't really my thing, but I have some info that might be useful." "Something's going down in Vietnam and from the looks of it," "Existence might be behind it." "BLADE:" "Thanks." "We'll check it out." "Wait, there's one more thing." "Word is, this group's got a mutant like me working for them." "And if it's true, you better watch your back." "Right." "Well, so long." "Send me a postcard when you get a chance." "I don't do postcards." "(CHUCKLES) Of course you don't." "You take care." "You too, Wolverine." "Logan was right, but we never expected that we'd be the ones who got chased." "I am a vampire." "If you want to kill me, then kill me." "Daddy?" "Where are you going?" "NARRATOR:" "Next time on Blade:" "Old Wounds, Fresh Blood." "Old Wounds, Fresh Blood"
