"Episode 4 That was Then, This is Now" "Manila, Philippines." "BLADE:" "Whenever I find myself in places like this, with the sound of women's voices in the air, it always takes me back." "BOY:" "Let me go!" "Come on, man!" "Let go of me!" "Soho, London" "policeman:" "Not likely." "You're coming with me." "Every single day I find you in the middle of a scrap." "(GRUNTlNG)" "Well, I've had enough, we'll see what Carol has to say about this." "I'm leavin', guys!" "BOY:" "Let go of me!" "Huh?" "is that... (sighs)" "Hey Carol!" "Eric!" "Not again!" "I don't have time for this, I gotta go to work." "If I don't work, we don't eat, kiddo." "Come on, Carol." "Easy on the boy." "I'm right in front of you, here." "You know your name's already been added to the list." "CAROL: (SCOFFS) Who cares about the list?" "So, Eric." "What was it this time?" "A bunch of guys were tryin' to steal a kid's lunch money, so I punched 'em." "Next time, let me take care of that." "Did you get him his money back?" "Mmm." "That's my baby." "Good job!" "Here now, don't encourage the lad!" "Damn right I will!" "The sooner he comes to grips with how hard life can be, the better." "I'm his family now." "I promised Tara I would raise her boy right, show him how to stand on his own two feet." "You tell him, Carol!" "Besides, he's got a whole village up here!" "Eric's doin' just fine!" "Get out of here!" "Way to go, Eric!" "Hey Eric!" "Come over for dinner at my place tonight." "What are you talkin' about?" "We're watchin' cartoons at my place." "Take your pick, Eric." "I'm going to work." "Don't forget to take a shower." "I'll be home soon, all right, love?" "Be safe, okay?" "(GROANS)" "(WOMEN talking lNDlSTlNCTLY)" "I'm home, Mom." "(DOG panting)" "So what's eating you?" "Nothing." "(GASPS)" "(GASPS)" "(panting)" "Huh?" "Well, home again." "Hey, sweet pea." "What's with the long face?" "Had a nightmare?" "Not really sure." "I woke up with a bad feeling and I can't shake it." "I shouldn't have brought up your mom." "I know how it can upset you, honey." "Boy, 10 years." "Feels like it was yesterday that Tara told me she was pregnant." "She was so excited." "She knew you'd be a boy." "Told us she was callin' you Eric." "She was gonna raise the perfect gentleman." "I know how hard this is, but you're not alone." "Your mother will always be with you in spirit." "She's watching down on you from above." "Now, I don't want you shedding any more tears, okay?" "You've got all of us girls lookin' out for you and don't you ever forget it!" "(groaning) Okay, I know, I know." "Just please let go of me!" "I can't breathe!" "Okay, now that that's settled, let's get you back into bed, young man." "And Carol..." "Thanks." "See you in the morning." "Good night, love." "(sighs)" "Well, Tara..." "It took some getting used to, but this "being a mom" gig ain't half bad." "BLADE:" "Unfortunately, my nightmares followed me into the day..." "They've haunted me ever since." "(SlRENS wailing)" "Huh?" "(CROWD murmuring)" "(GASPS)" "policeman:" "Just a couple of local hooligans." "The victims were chosen at random." "Still, how cruel." "They look like dried up prunes." "(GROANS)" "What..." "What's that smell?" "(gasping)" "(panting)" "Eric..." "Eric..." "Who's there?" "(echoing) Eric..." "(GASPS) I..." "I feel something." "Carol!" "No!" "Leave me alone!" "Get off me!" "That's just the way things go around here." "Yeah, but..." "You think you're gonna make a difference?" "This whole place runs on fear." "(sobbing)" "Damn it." "Let's go." "Apparently your friend Blade has been spotted in the vicinity." "We're planning on giving him a proper welcome." "Should be fun." "Let me know how that pans out for you." "What?" "What do you mean?" "He's never let anyone get the best of him a second time." "You'd better start praying." "Shut up, old man!" "I promise you." "I'm gonna kill him and you'll watch as the last of his blood drips out of him." "(GROANS)" "(SHUDDERlNG)" "(groaning)" "Dad!" "Take my hand!" "I can help you!" "(GASPS)" "(roaring)" "No, Daddy, stop!" "(gasping)" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "(knocking ON DOOR)" "How long have you been standing there?" "You hear me blubbering in there?" "Go on, laugh it up." "Why would I find your pain amusing?" "I came to avenge my father's death." "I must look like a wimp." "If you wish to avenge, then kill me." "You know I killed your father." "The ship is gonna head out soon." "What do you want to do?" "You mind if I ask you something?" "What's that?" "Noah..." "He said that you have darkness in your soul." "What'd he mean by that?" "(GASPS)" "(panting)" "(GASPS)" "Carol!" "(HlSSlNG)" "(GASPS)" "No, it can't be... ls that you..." "Mom?" "My baby." "I missed you so much." "Mom?" "I don't understand." "I've waited a long time for this." "The time has come for us to return to our master." "You will do what you were born to do." "It is your destiny." "Come now." "I need you." "(GASPS)" "Stay back!" "What's wrong?" "Don't you want to be with your mama?" "You murdered Carol and the other girls!" "(inaudible)" "You are not my mother!" "(yelling)" "(ROARS)" "(screaming)" "Carol..." "Oh, God." "What have I become?" "(GASPS)" "Eric." "I'm so sorry..." "For everything." "Forgive me..." "Mom..." "Mom... (screaming) Mom!" "The very first vampire that I ever killed was my mother." "But she was just a shell." "That's what vampires do to you." "I did get to see her, at least." "I've always been grateful for that." "I was born a half-breed." "The mix of both vampire and human blood in my veins made me do what I did that day." "That is the darkness in your soul..." "You just have to be willing to fight the darkness inside you." "Doesn't matter who you are." "We all got demons in our past." "You can't outrun them, but they can make you stronger." "So now you're caught up." "Thank you for everything, Captain." "No worries." "Save Noah for us." "You bet." "MAKOTO:" "Hold on." "I'm going with you." "I'm a vampire hunter, after all." "(exclaims)" "BLADE:" "There it is." "It's Blade!" "He's here!" "He's going after the slave trader ship!" "What?" "I don't get it." "Why isn't he coming after his friend?" "NOAH:" "So, what now?" "This throws a little bit of a monkey wrench into your plan, doesn't it?" "Enough already!" "Shut your mouth!" "(GROANS)" "We're heading for the harbor!" "Move!" "(girls WHlMPERlNG)" "Huh?" "(tires screeching)" "What the... (groaning)" "Razor!" "(screaming)" "Huh?" "You okay?" "Much appreciated, Makoto." "It's nice to see you care." "But I had things well under control here." "Yeah, I'm sure you had them right where you wanted them." "(LAUGHS)" "You bastard!" "(panting)" "(GASPS)" "Deadly Sword Technique" "The First Blade:" "Savage Moon" "You'll never defeat him!" "Frost will win!" "Well, that was embarrassing." "You got me out of a tight one, there." "I owe you one." "Forget it." "I'm gonna keep going after Frost." "Make sure you mend those wounds." "Yeah." "Listen, when those banshees had me all tied up, I overheard them talking about Frost building some sort of hideout on an island here." "Also, and this is just a rumor, but now that Frost's being active, the pure-bloods are up to something as well." "You look after yourself." "Always do." "You're not going after him?" "I don't know." "Do me a favor." "I'm getting too old for this." "Watch out for him, will you?" "He's a tough customer, but he can't go it alone." "Why don't you take Razor?" "After all, he's clearly taken a shine to you." "If you think, maybe one day, you'll be able to forgive him, then please go." "Come on, now." "You better go catch up." "Yeah, I suppose you're right." "Come on, Razor." "Let's go!" "(barking) I want you feeding him the good stuff, okay?" "I don't want to hear about him eating vampire meat again!" "(LAUGHS)" "(SCOFFS) It seems this job was too big for Mattes to handle." "But it's not time for me to come out in the open yet." "Take me to Siquijor Island." "Interesting." "Whoever controls the Daywalker controls the balance of power." "It is Blade who holds the key." "This is the key." "His blood." "The Manananggal!" "That's gross." "Gather, you Spirits of Light, and help us drive this creature of eternal night from our land." "NARRATOR:" "Next time on Blade:" "The Island of Fire."
