"That's what I'm talking about." "Oh yeah." "Billy." "Did you bring the protection?" "Billy!" " What?" "Did you bring the protection?" "Protection -- of course I did." "I mean, at least I think I did." "You think?" "!" "What?" "Go find it." "C'mon baby, just one more time." "I'm serious, Billy." "Oh my God." "Sandra, just..." "No protection..." "No ticky ticky." "Alright, alright." "I'm on it." "Just stay here." "I'll be right back." "Gonna have a good old time." "No." "C'mon." "Billy." "Coming, baby." "Oh, alright." "Sorry about the hassle." "E-Z Wrap." "Oh no." "Billy!" "Bingo." "Yes." "Alright." "Yes." "Sorry about that." "I " "Sandra?" "Sa " " Sandra..." "If this is a joke, it isn't funny!" "Sandra..." "Hey!" "Looking for me?" "Woo!" "YEAH!" "That's what I'm talking about, baby!" "It's all me right here!" "Do me a favor." "What's that?" "The next time I let you talk me into taking a shortcut..." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Look around." "Do I need to elaborate?" "What's wrong?" "It's the fuel light." "Ray..." "We were coming down here to camp." "Yeah, to rent a cabin in a national forest, 15 feet away from the next family and a public restroom, so I can take a hot shower and go shopping kind of camping." "Not breaking down in the middle of nowhere with no working compass, no cell phone, so I'd end up coyote bait kind of camping." "Relax." "We'll find a cell zone eventually." "When we do, we'll get some help." "Is that before, or after we walk 100 miles in a circle?" "Okay, listen." "This isn't exactly how I envisioned our anniversary weekend either." "Okay." "Calm down." "I'm just kidding." "I'm sure we're gonna come up on something." "And besides," "We can look at it on the bright side." "We are definitely... going to have... some quality... alone time together." "Just you and me." "Hey." "Hey." "I think I see something." "Where?" " Right up ahead." "See, I told you we were gonna come up on something." "I hope they have a phone." "Or better yet, maybe some gas." "What do you think?" "It looks creepy." "Yeah." "You would too if you were out in the desert for 40 years." "It's 3AM." "Do you think anybody's around?" "I dunno." "There's only one way to find out." "Wait wait wait!" " What?" "Don't you remember that movie, Motel Hell?" "What's that for?" "Y'know, I didn't see Motel Hell, but..." "Wolf Creek scared the crap out of me." "Alright." "I'm gonna go check it out." "Hey hey hey..." "What?" "We go together." "Alright." "Together." "Oh." "Welcome to Shamus's." "That'd be me." "What can I get for you?" "We're kinda lost." "You don't say." "And we could use some gas." "Do you know where we could find any?" "You hear that, everyone?" "He could use some gas." "Sorry, my friend." "You came to the wrong place." "The nearest station's a good 50 miles from here." "50 miles?" "Yes ma'am." "That's a lot of tumble weeds, if I do say so myself." "That gas pump over there..." "Hasn't been used for 25 years." "The fellas here would rather have me fill their beer mugs than their gas tanks." "You see, in these parts... it's either feast... or famine." "If I were you, I'd take a seat." "We'll get a rig out here tomorrow with enough gas." "To get you into town." "We're open all night." "Here." "They're on the house." "Little something to keep up the good will in ya." "You hear that, honey?" "They're on the house." "How nice." "Well, captain?" "What are we gonna do now?" "I don't think we have much of a choice." "I think we stay right here until the gas station in town opens up." "That is in a few more hours." "And then, we get the hell outta here." "I will drink to that." "Here is to... anniversary adventures." "Here is to getting the hell out of here." "Yeah." "That reminds me." "What's this?" "Our anniversary isn't until tomorrow." "But it IS tomorrow." "I guess you're right." "For once." "Oh John." "That's beautiful." "I dunno what to say." "You don't have to say anything." "I love you." "I know." "I don't always know why, but I know." "Well..." "Hey." "What is it?" "Um... well..." "I was gonna tell you, but," "I was gonna tell you tomorrow, but then..." "Since tomorrow is today, I guess I can tell you." "Stop, stop." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah... yeah." "Everything's fine." "It's just... you know, when you're pregnant, you just..." "A little bit more emotional, that's all." "I understand." " And I just..." "Pregnant?" "!" "Did..?" " Yeah." "Did you say you're pregnant?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Sotreum sends his condolences." "For what?" "For this." "No." "You're gonna have to forgive my associates." "You see, they get excited quite easily." "Let her go!" "Now!" "I mean it!" "What are you gonna do with that?" "Are you gonna shoot it at me?" "Yeah." "I will if I have to." "I know, baby." "I know, baby." "I know." "Let her go and nobody has to get hurt." "I'm sorry, my friend." "Someone always gets hurt." "That is the nature of life." "Don't say I didn't warn you." "What the hell are you people?" "I think he wants to know what we are." "I think it's quite obvious." "Not to me it isn't." "Surely you don't believe that do you?" "What then?" "Why not just kill us now?" "Because I'm going to offer you a choice." "A simple choice that I never had." "A choice that I was never allowed to make." "The choice for life eternal." "I think you mean death eternal." "Join us, and never know what it is to feel pain." "To be hurt." "Or to grow any older." "What?" "!" "We will never join you." "Who said anything about 'we'?" "Kill him." "Let's go." "NO!" "JOHN!" "Maria!" "He's gone." "What am I gonna do?" "Think, damnit, think." "Screw this." "No." "Wait!" "Don't... don't kill me." "Have mercy." "I'll leave that up to God." "There will be more." "Human." "Hey!" "Hey!" "HEY HEY HEY!" "HEY HEY HEY HEY!" "HEY!" "HEY!" "HEY!" "HEY!" "OVER HERE!" "Over here!" "Over here!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Over here!" "Over here." "Hey!" "HEY!" "Damnit, I'm over here!" "HEY!" "I'm over here." "I hope you choke on me you son of a bitch." "Please, don't think me rude." "You've been bitten." "They're for your own good." "It won't do any good to struggle." "It will just make you weaker, and you need your strength." "WHO ARE YOU?" "!" "They're near tonight." "They want to know if there's to be a new addition to their fold." "I asked you a question." "And you shall have your answer." "When the time is right." "What have you done to me?" "Given you a chance." "I hope." "The bite affects everyone differently." "For some, it turns into a wolf like form." "In others, it can take a more human like form." "Like that creature you fought tonight." "Inside you is an antidote I developed to counteract the effects of the wolf's venom." "Now the rest is in God's hands." "I love you." "JOHN!" "How long have I been out?" "4 weeks." "Weeks?" " Yes." "You've had a lot to recover from." "There aren't any scars." "A byproduct of the process." "The process of what?" "Your body fighting the infection." "Lycans have the ability to heal and regenerate tissue." "It's part of what allows them to shape shift between man and beast." "Why, or how it works is still a mystery." "The normal world won't even acknowledge their existence." "Does that mean I'm gonna turn into one of those things?" "I wouldn't wager on it." "Save your new found physique, there hasn't been a change since I gave you the antidote." "There's a full moon out tonight." "If you were infected, you'd be running amok by now." "What then?" "Nothing, I'm afraid." "It appears you've beaten the infection altogether." "You act as if you're disappointed." "The one who possesses the power of the lycanthrope holds the key to defeating all the creatures of the dark knight." "For a moment, I thought that person might be you." "It was you." "It was you I saw from the road that day." "Yes." "Why didn't you help me then?" "I didn't know if you could be trusted." "You've witnessed first hand the types of individuals who choose to inhabit the desert." "I think you're lying." "I think you wanted this to happen." "I think you wanted me to get bitten." "Impressive." "At first glance, you looked to be a simple man." "But you're much smarter and stronger than the others." "But then, that's why you survived." "Give me one reason I shouldn't break your neck." "Well, it appears you have some lycan in you after all." "You are the chosen one." "The prophecy has foretold it." "Prophecy?" "You're no better than the rest of them." "Do you realize what you've done?" "!" "Yes." "Given mankind a chance." "You should've let me die!" "Your grief is clouding your judgment." "You were bitten by a werewolf." "And if you hadn't survived the attack," "You'd have been doomed to walk the earth a tormented soul." "What if I don't wanna be your dark knight?" "Then both our wives' deaths will have been in vain." "They killed your wife?" "Yes." "I'm sorry." "Sometimes we don't get to choose our destiny, Mr. Croix." "Sometimes it chooses us." "I suggest you get some sleep." "Your body's still healing." "Tomorrow, if you still have reservations," "I will guide you to the main road." "You have my word." "Oh, c'mon." "Damnit." "He will not rest." "He will NOT rest." "Behold." "I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions." "And over all, the power of the enemy." "And nothing shall by any means hurt you." "They will not rest?" "I'm not sure if I understand your question." "I think you do." "The souls of the victims." "A lycan, like a vampire, is a damned soul." "To die by one of them, is to become a damned soul yourself." "Doomed to walk the earth in an in between state, until their killers are stopped and their spirits set free." "Where did you hear this?" "I came aCroix a family of campers that had been visited by the Lycans today." "I see." "Tell me something." "And I don't want a sermon." "And I don't want a riddle." "I want a straight answer." "I'll do my best." "Can they be killed?" "Or is this all about revenge?" "Killed, yes." "Defeated..." "Well..." "That is the question you should be asking." "Okay then." "Can they?" "In all my years of studying these creatures of the dark knight... in all my battles... with all the differences that exist between the two species...." "There's one thing that holds true for both." "Kill the leader, and you stop them all." "That's what I wanted to know." "I'm all yours." "What's next?" "Here." "Dip your finger into this." "Why?" "Just do it." "What is that?" "Acid?" "No." "Holy water." "The first lesson you need to learn is... unfortunately, one I cannot teach." "And that's faith." "The corner stone to fighting all evil is the good book." "Eat it, breathe it, sleep it, learn it." "Live it." "Because trust me, your life will depend upon it." "Of all the potions concocted to ward off werewolves and vampires, holy water is the only solution that works on both." "Pouring it in a circle on the ground purifies the area." "Nothing unholy can enter the sanctum." "But it can also be used to turn what would ordinarily be a harmless weapon against one of these creatures into a deadly one." "Wolfsbane and garlic are other methods to keep vampires and werewolves at bay." "A werewolf is a damned soul." "Doomed to walk the earth until put to rest." "The only way to do it is with silver." "Silver is poison to their lycan blood." "Holy water will slow them down, but it'll only buy you some time." "The most effective way to kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart." "Aside from the stake in the heart, you've got two other choices." "Seperate the head from the body." "Keep it separated until the sun comes up, or kiss your ass goodbye." "You must remember that these same weapons you use on them, could be used on you as well." "Your body will heal itself from almost any wound." "In time, you will learn how to control your powers." "To harness them at will." "Van Ness!" "Van Ness!" "Van Ness!" "Hey!" "You okay?" "It's about god damn time." "Stay put." "I'm coming down." "The good news is, the rocks broke my fall." "The bad news is, my leg's broke." "This is pretty bad." "Can you make it out of here?" "Does a vampire have fangs?" "I'm slowing you down." "Your survival is paramount." "You must leave me." "I'm not going anywhere without you." "We'll make our stand right here." "What do you got for ammo in that thing?" "Three bullets, plus one in the chamber." "You?" "Knife." "Just like a rookie to bring a knife to a gun fight." "It's alright." "They're here." "What the hell was that?" "Like I said:" "The bite affects everyone differently." "How about some fire, scarecrow?" "Oh my god." "You've been bitten." "I've gotta get the anti-venom in you." "It's no good, John." "I wouldn't survive the process." "No..." "You don't know that!" "Yes I do." "I've tested it dozens of times on my own blood samples." "My genetic makeup isn't capable of holding up to it." "What then?" "I think you know the answer to that." "No, no no no no." "I am NOT gonna kill you." "I'm already dead, John." "Not even you can stop that." "Don't leave me to the fate of their kind." "I deserve more than that!" "She's alive, John." "What did you say?" "She's alive." "How do you know that?" "If he'd have wanted her dead, he would've done it then." "No." "He saw something in her." "Something he wanted." "The same thing he saw in my wife all those years ago." "There's still time to save her if you can stop him." "Why didn't you tell me about this before?" "Because you would've rushed off to save her." "Without your newfound skills, you would've been no match for them." "And what makes you think I am now?" "You're ready, John." "As ready as you'll ever be." "If you can get to em and stop em, you may still be able to save your wife." "Even if she's turned?" "Yes." "Oh no." "No." "No no no." "You said that if I kill the head vampire," "I will kill them all." "No." "I said kill the head vampire, and you stop them all." "Not all will die." "It is the curse that is reversed." "The moment their leader is dead, they'll revert to their true age and time." "If a vampire was bitten 300 years ago, he'll turn to dust." "But one turned 6 months ago?" "Will revert to the age they would be now." "Yes..." "John..." "There's a trunk outside." "Find it." "There's some things in there you'll find useful." "John, go -- " " Shh." "You need your rest." "The sun's gonna be up in a couple hours." "And tomorrow, we'll plan our course of action." "Everything will be better tomorrow." "Alright..." "Perhaps you're right." "Alright." "Everything will be better tomorrow." "Alright." "John." "Remember." "None of this works without faith." "What's this?" "It's the only thing I could find." "Okay?" "Uh, you can't..." "You can't do that in here." "My parents will kill me." "It's okay, Zachie." "Your parents aren't here now, are they?" "I know, but..." "I'm serious." "Put it out, Trisha." "Fine." "Relax!" "I can see if this drive isn't gonna liven up," "I'm gonna have to do it." "Strip poker, anyone?" "Oh." "Damnit." "You in?" "Like you said, baby:" "I can't play with that thing all weekend." "How about you guys?" "I don't think " "I'll even make the first sacrifice." "How about it?" "Or are you gonna be a bunch of prudes?" "I'm game if you are." "Um..." " Good!" "Then it's on." "Strip poker it is." "I'll deal." "Here's the rules:" "Everyone gets a card." "Highest card, the clothes stay." "Lowest card, they go away." "Are we clear?" "Crystal." "Good." "Oh..." "And one more thing." "Yeah?" "A joker takes it all off." "I'll go first." "Queen of spades." "Sweetie." "I'm king of hearts, baby." "We'll see." "And how about you, princess?" "What do you have?" "Three of clubs." "It looks bleak for our all-american girl, ladies and gentlemen." "Just one more card to go." "Well?" "Do tell." "Three of diamonds." "Oh ho ho." "A tie, eh?" "Yes." "We have a tie, ladies and gentlemen." "Too bad." "So sad." "But, that's the way the card tumbles." "So let's have em." " Yeah." "And shoes don't count." "Since when do you make the rules?" "He's right." "Everyone knows that shoes don't count." "It's like" "Okay." "Fine." "Something wrong?" "Um..." "I'm gonna need you to take the wheel." "Oh." "Sorry." "Okay fellas." "Next card." "Ten of spades." "The jack... of hearts." "Seven of diamonds." "Oh no way." "What?" "Seven of clubs." "Porcha, did you do this?" "Don't look at me, girlfriend." "It's just the luck of the draw." "Yeah." " Hey!" "We'll see about that." "I'm dealing." "Eyes up front, sailor." "Sorry." "Uh..." "Could you take the wheel again?" "Sure." "What is it?" "It's..." "It's my pants." "They're stuck around my shoes." "Loser." "Here." "Lemme try." "See anything you like?" "There." "Look out!" "What the hell was that?" "I dunno." "It just came outta nowhere." "You guys think it's dead?" "I dunno." "What are you doing?" "I need to find out." "Screw that." "We need to get our asses out of here." "He's right." "We need to see what we hit." "See if you can get a signal on your cell." "Damn, girl." "It's a dog, for God sake." "Just do it." "Where is it?" "I dunno." "What is it?" "Hey..." "I don't really know." "I mean..." "It looks like some sort of... coyote... or dog or something." "I'm not 100 % sure." "Boo!" "You're a big jerk." "You guys should've seen the looks on your face..." "Ahh!" "Ahh!" "You guys were SO FREAKED!" "Whoa." "Dude." "Check it out." "Man." "Looks like you creamed whatever it was." "I..." "I don't think I did that." "What do you mean?" "I mean..." "That's not what I hit." "Dude." "You were going like 60." "When you hit it, okay?" "Of course it's the thing you hit." "That thing's been dead for like a day or two." "It's rotting." "Gimme that." "Yeah..." "Yeah." "Alright." "Well, professor." "If that's not the thing you hit, what is?" "Where's Trevor?" "What is it?" "The keys." "Trevor had them." "What the HELL is going on?" "Where's Trevor?" "He's out there." "You left him?" "Get down!" "Oh..." "I get it." "Get down, Porcha!" "You guys really had me going." "Porcha, this isn't a joke." "Now get down!" "The joke's over, guys." "It's not funny anymore." "You got me..." "Quit howling, Trevor!" "Get your ass back in here!" "Help me." "What are you gonna do with that?" "We're sitting ducks as long as we sit here." "I need to get out there and find those keys." "Keys?" "You've got no idea where they are." "Do you have any better suggestions?" "Yeah." "Stay here and keep your ass down." "Laura, I've been doing that my whole life." "You guys got keys to this thing?" "If we did, you think we'd be in this mess?" "Trevor had them." "Where's he?" "I see." "Grab your stuff." "Whatever you can carry." "Hey." "The way back is that way." "I know." "You don't expect us to follow you, do you?" "Nobody's forcing you." "Great." "Alright, wait -- wait for me!" "Excuse me." "Sir?" "My name is John." "John Croix." "Hey." "Mr. Croix." "We were wondering..." "Yes?" "How much further?" "10... 12 miles maybe." "Maybe?" "Well maybe we could stop and take a little break." "We don't have time." "Look." "Sir..." "Mr. Croix." "I know it's dangerous for us to be out here and everything, but we've been walking for hours without a break." "And quite frankly, my feet are killing me." "You got five." "Call me John." "Thanks." "John." "Sorry Eddie." "Sun's coming up." "Have a good sleep, aye?" "Oh ohh... buddy boy." "You just bought yourself a whole world of hurt." "Fool." "Silver bullets don't kill vampires." "Yeah?" "But holy water does." "Please don't hurt me." "He'd kill me if I didn't help him." "Then we have one thing in common." "Tell me where he is." "That's impossible." "Tell me." "Where he is." "I don't know." "I swear." "Maybe this will jog your memory." "Okay..." "I'll tell you." "I'll tell you." "Just please, please stop." "Tell me where he is, or it won't be your hands that I pin to the bar next time." "His lair is in a forgotten place." "Keep talking." "It's in... an abandoned mining town." "It's two days journey from here." "On the other side of a... place known as The Valley of the Skulls." "Valley of the Skulls?" "Yes." "It's where they take their victims after they're done with them." "I see." "What are you going to do to me?" "I'm gonna give you the choice that I never had." "What are you doing?" "Have you seen anything?" " No!" "I'll take that." "Alright, so..." "We'll go with him." "We're setting up camp here." "Here?" "You mean right here?" "Look:" "It's as good a place as any." "As long as it's daylight, we're safe." "But we need a couple hours rest before we move on." "Um..." "Hey... seeing as how we're out here in the desert..." "Should we be saving every last drop?" "This is holy water." "This knife isn't any good without it." "Oh... yeah." "Sorry." "By all means..." "Thanks." "So... what is he doing over there?" "I really don't know." "I think he's sharpening his knife or something." "Oh, but, don't worry, cause..." "He'll be back." "By the way, that stuff you do..." "You know, the fighting." "It's pretty amazing." "Where'd you learn to fight like that?" "School of hard knocks." "I haven't heard of it." "It's a figure of speech." "Sorry." "I was bitten." "You're one of those things?" "Not exactly." "I was given an anti-venom, so I have some of the powers of a lycan." "Uh..." "lycan?" "Werewolf." "Werewolf." "Nice." "That's cool." "So..." "Like, when the moon isn't out, do you still have them?" "Yeah." "But they're strongest when the moon is full." "Coincidentally, it's when I'm most irritable." "So if you see me on all fours, trying to scratch my ass and lick my balls, you'll know why." "Wait, what?" "I'm kidding." "Oh." "Right." "Oh, by the way..." "Thanks for the eats." "What is it?" "Desert rat." "Hey guys." "So what'd you find?" "One sentry." "The rest must be sleeping til nightfall." "What are you gonna do?" "I'm gonna go inside;" "take a look around." "Are you kidding me?" "There's one of you, and God knows how many of them." "The vampires have to be somewhere else." "Out of the light." "Bats." "Bats?" "They're underground." " Where?" "You mean they're right under us?" "Mines." "There must be a series of mines under us." "Look:" "Take this." "Put it on." "It'll mask your scent." "What is it?" "It's wolf urine." "Put it on." "It'll keep you safe until dark." "If I'm not back in time, you head east to the road." "It's your best chance at getting outta here." "Wait." "I dunno about these guys, but..." "I'd rather take my chances in there with you than out here by myself." "See anything?" "Too dark." "Then... how do you know they're down there?" "Because it's too dark." "Oh." "Listen." "The sun is gonna set soon." "So if I'm not back in a half an hour..." "Remember what I said." "Go east to the road." "The wolf urine will buy you a couple of days." "But..." "But don't worry..." "Cause I'll be back." "Screw it." "I would've thought that the old man would've taught you better than that." "Crucifixes don't work in a vampire's home." "There are rules in every game, Mr. Croix." "Even in this one." "It's not a game to me, you son of a bitch." "You stole my life." "You picked the wrong night for a fight." "So, in order to " "You just have to have faith." "That's twice." "What have I told you about that?" "I'm sorry." "It won't happen again." "Sorry, Mr. Croix." "John." "I thought I told you to head for the road." "You said you'd be back." "We believed you." "What about your friend?" "Porcha's not much of a believer." "Let's go." "We've still got one person to find." "You came back for us." "Together." "Remember?" "Together." "Give me just a minute." "Jennifer." "Yes?" "My name is John Croix." "I was a friend of your husband." "Is he here?" "No." "I see." "I believe this is yours." "Thank you." "Nice... doggy..?" "Desert rat?"
