All language subtitles for Deadliest warrior s03e10 Vampires vs. Zombies

The Deadliest Warrior season finale
continues live.

Hi there, I'm Ciaran Elliott and you are
watching a very special live

presentation of the Deadliest Warrior
season finale.

In case you're just tuning in, the
Gurkhas have just defeated the French

Legion and your votes were correct. You
got it right, very well done. Well, most

of you did.

Coming up, we'll see if you can predict
the most controversial episode of the

season, Vampires vs.

Zombies. And on that note, we are joined
by renowned graphic novelist Steve

Niles. Steve, welcome to the show. All
right, thanks for having me. Good to see

everybody again.

Now, before we go any further, Mac, what
do you think was it that turned the

tide for the Gurkhas in this matchup?
Listen, when you're looking at Gurkha

French Foreign Legion, these are two
great warriors, fierce, highly skilled.

It's those slight advantages, those
little edges in the weapons that

following the Gurkhas way.

And even when you're starting to talk
about the physiology even with the

Gurkhas, that fell their way as well. So
it's just those slight advantages that

turned the tide in that battle. And that
kukri, an amazing weapon as well. You

had to see that.

Moving on to you, Steve, what was your
initial reaction when the producers

you to do vampires versus zombies?

You know, it was positive right away
because I've been having this argument.

since I was five years old anyway.

I mean, as a fan of comics and horror,
you know, these are the arguments we

have. Who's stronger, Hulk or Thor?
Who's going to, you know, who's going to

beat zombies versus, you know, vampires?
So this was a great format to actually

maybe settle the argument.

Absolutely. It was great for us as well.
It was great to see so many people

involved and enjoying it. So thank you
very much for being involved.

And once again, Mac, Jeff and Armand
will be tweeting throughout the night,

be sure to follow them. And don't forget
to tweet your questions.

Finally. Stay tuned for the live
aftermath coming up at 11 p .m. We have

very, very special guest, and we'll
visit Dr. Dorian's world in the ER,

every day is a matter of life and death.
All right, the hour upon us. Here is

Deadliest Warrior, Vampires vs.

Zombies.

It started with two warriors resurrected
from history.

The tools of war were tested to
determine who would win a battle to the

Now, in an unprecedented television
event, we're applying the groundbreaking

scientific methods developed over three
theaters to create a battle between two

of the world's most feared legendary
creatures.

Vampires.

We're talking about a super killing
machine.

A thinking apex predator.

Blood to a vampire is like super fuel.
And that's what gives that vampire that

superpower.

Essentially, a zombie acts exactly like
a virus, which has no

other purpose than the complete
consumption and destruction of the

race. A zombie feels no fear. It never
gets discouraged.

It will never stop.

These menacing monsters.

have each made a huge killing, racking
up billions of dollars at the box

along with novels, comic books, and
video games.

The government's Center for Disease
Control has even published an emergency

for a zombie apocalypse.

Now, we'll combine our scientific
analysis with vital information from an

advisory panel of horror legends,
including George Romero, to take on the

ultimate battle of the undead.

So what excites me about being a
scientist and an engineer is that I'm

constantly working in the unknown.

Working on this episode brings that
excitement to a whole new level. I can

my science to science fiction.

I joined SEAL Team to prove myself as a
man, but underneath all of that is this

geek and nerd who actually loves comic
books, loves sci -fi and horror. So for

me personally, I can't wait to see how
this matchup goes.

When I first heard about the matchup, I
honestly thought, I'm going to lose all

credibility here. I'm a doctor. But they
are grounded in science and biology.

With regards to the animal kingdom, the
vampire is the apex predator while the

zombie is fueled by a virus. The
organism that's killed more people than

wars combined. All the natural disasters
combined.

I'm really excited. This is a once -in
-a -lifetime opportunity.

Vampires versus zombies.

Who is it?

Deadly. To find out, ancient legends and
modern science collide as former Navy

SEAL Richard Mack Mackiewicz dives deep
into the fighting tactics of these

mythical creatures.

Biomedical engineer Jeff DeMalin applies
21st century technology to unlock new

data from beyond the ages.

And ER physician Armand Dory dissects
the trauma and reveals the physical and

psychological traits of these infamous
creatures.

This groundbreaking data.

will be paired with revealing insights
from an advisory panel of the biggest

names in horror, and entered into an all
-new digital combat engine.

Two bloodthirsty creatures will battle
it out in a head -to -head deathmatch,

but only one will be crowned Deadliest
Warrior.

Welcome to the Fight Club, where, for
this special edition of Deadliest

our experts will reveal the facts behind
the fiction, and help decide which

legendary creature is deadly.

Vampires. Blood -draining demons who
kill to live and live to kill. Or

Leg -infected ghouls with an insatiable
hunger for human flesh.

Two of the most famous mythical
creatures in a head -to -head battle to

death. Zombies versus vampires.

This has never been done on television
before, and I can't tell you how excited

I am to be involved in this first.

Now, they're mythical creatures. You
might not think there's a lot of rules.

there are a ton of rules, and let me
first start this off by saying I'm a

practicing emergency physician, okay?

But... I'm going to take my medical
license, put it aside, because this is

really interesting.

Remember, this is Deadliest Warrior.
We've got to look at strategy and

We've got to look at all of those X
factors we normally plug in to every

matchup. Completely agreed, Mac.

This episode obviously is going to
present a few challenges when we're

at test design.

These warriors don't carry any weapons.
Their bodies are the weapon.

Also, typically, we do...

Man versus man. But in this particular
matchup, it really comes down to the

strength and speed of the vampire versus
the sheer numbers of the zombies. We

need to pick a race field that we can
use in our sim to make this an even

So what we did was create an advisory
panel.

Directors, comic book writers, the
people that created the legends behind

zombies and vampires.

So what we asked them to do was create a
list of characteristics, capabilities,

vulnerabilities.

And I can't wait to put that list to the
test.

Representing our advisory panel for the
vampires, renowned graphic novelist

Steve Niles, creator of 30 Days of
Night, which became a major motion

and helped redefine the vampire genre.

I pretty much dedicated my life to
writing horror and monsters.

The romantic vampire started in Bram
Stoker's version of the book. And then

Gosi came along, turning the vampire
into this sort of suave seducer.

That's where vampires got stuck.

When it came time for me to do 30 Days a
Night, I just wanted to strip all that

away.

I looked at all the examples of vampires
that I really enjoyed, like some of the

Blade movies, where they were just
treated as bad guys.

What if they don't want to seduce you?
What if we are just their food?

And just that little twist makes them
incredibly frightening.

Providing historical and scientific
analysis of vampires.

Advisory panel member, Scott Bowen.

Author of the cult classic, The Vampire
Survival Guide.

Vampires see us just strictly as energy.

We're a resource.

A vampire has a circulatory system
that's kind of like a jet engine.

When it drinks that blood, that engine
goes on afterburner. A vampire's upwards

of six times stronger than an elite
animal.

What kind of vampire are we actually
dealing with, Steve? The one we're

about is the modern vampire.

Fast, furious.

killers one where a lot of supernatural
superstitions have been taken away like

the garlic or the cross they don't want
to seduce you these are killers and

predators and we are their prey we've
seen this in blade trinity van helsing

days at night this mouth full of fangs
that can grip and rip all right

what are the strengths of a vampire
first of all

superhuman strength, six times the
strength of an elite athlete, and speed

match. On top of that, here's a creature
with sight, hearing, smell, on the

level of a wolf or a tiger. It can sense
its prey from a distance, close in very

quickly. It can hear you when you're
trying to hide.

You're talking about the ultimate
predator, super strong, super fast,

senses. How do you kill this beast?

Cutting their head off. Their brain is
one of their big tools, so you cut it

off, they're dead.

Probably the most important way to
destroy them is get rid of their heart,

it out. If they can't have that
mechanism that distributes the blood,

gone. Sounds like a hell of a matchup
for the zombies.

Representing the advisory panel for the
zombies, one of the world's leading

authorities, Max Brooks, author of two
New York Times bestsellers, The Zombie

Survival Guide and World War Z.

A modern classic being adapted into
another Hollywood blockbuster.

The initial zombie mythology goes back
thousands of years. We're talking about

the voodoo zombie, which is essentially
a slave brought back from the dead by

black magic. In 1968, George Romero
completely changed... The zombie

with Night of the Living Dead. For the
first time, you had corpses hungry for

human flesh and spreading across the
world with a global pandemic. What the

virus does is essentially kill a living
human being, then reanimates it with no

personality, no sense of former self,
and creates what George Romero calls

motorized instinct.

When discussing a vampire -zombie
matchup, numbers cannot be

zombie horde has no other function other
than to grow and expand and consume.

Unlocking zombie tactics and providing
scientific insight.

Advisory panel member Matt Moak, founder
of the Zombie Research Society, whose

members include leading neurobiologist
and director George Romero.

When the modern zombie is reanimated,
it's functioning at a relatively low

level. The heart is not beating. The
brain is controlling the body, moving

body through space in an attempt to find
living humans to spread the infection.

So it feels no fear.

It never gets discouraged.

It will never stop.

These threats are not predators. They
are a plague.

They don't hunt humans. They consume
humanity.

Max, you mentioned plague. You've got my
interest.

Zombies have one biological imperative.
That is to spread the virus.

And they do that through consuming human
flesh.

What are the strengths of zombies?

It's the perfect warrior.

It's ultimately brave, stronger than a
human. It has no self -preservation

mechanism that will destroy itself to
get you. How do you stop a zombie?

There is only one way to stop a zombie.
Take out the brain, take out the threat.

Vampires or zombies?

The supernatural apex predator versus
the virus -carrying super beast. Before

this classic showdown can begin, one
critical question must be answered. Can

zombie's virus infect vampires?

It's a virus, and they've dealt with
this before. The vampires we know from

literature have survived the bubonic
plague.

So if they survive that and everything,
then I don't think the zombie virus is

going to be a threat to their own
health.

Zombism is spread through bodily fluid
contact, normally through a bite.

Vampires typically fight in very close
combat. The worst thing the vampire can

do is to get close to a zombie.

Doc, is there anything in the world that
closely resembles in nature what a

zombie virus might be like?

Actually, there is a recent example.
It's called H1N1, otherwise known as the

swine flu. What's interesting about the
swine flu is the fact that it only

infected pigs, but for the first time it
is able to mutate and infect humans. It

was a cross -species virus.

The potential of a zombie virus to
infect a vampire, much like the swine

virus, is there.

Having said that, there also is the
potential that the virus could not wipe

all the vampires.

So the potential is real on both ends.

The winner of this first -ever Battle of
the Undead will be determined by the

all -new digital combat engine created
by former Green Beret and military

game designer Robert Dale.

His latest high -tech creation will
evaluate our test data.

Plus, more than 100 different X
-Factors, critical intangibles, that are

numeric values based on the advisory
panel's insight into each creature's

mythology, tactics, and biological
profiles.

This isn't going to be a global war
between vampires and zombies, is it? No.

What we're going to do is that initial
contact, that small battle with vampires

and zombies meeting each other for the
first time. Yeah, but zombies are going

to have a bigger number, right?

Yeah, you're right, Doc. So what we're
going to do is figure out what the ratio

of that is through our test data that
you guys are collecting. Once we

what that ratio is, we will plug that
number into the sim, run our simulator 5

,000 times, and we will end up with who
is the deadliest undead warrior.

A single jump is no match for a
vampire's superhuman strength and speed.

But zombies attack in a horde to level
the playing field in the digital combat

engine. Our experts must start by
finding the critical ratio between the

vampire's superior strength and speed
and the zombie's superior numbers.

When we're talking about the speed of
the modern vampire, we're talking at

six times the strength and the speed of
an elite animal.

A zombie would never attack one -on
-one. They come at you in a horde,

from two zombies to 2 ,000 to 2 million.
And if you live in China or India, 2

billion.

For this test, Jeff has created a ring
of death with zombie targets that will

close in on a vampire represented by
world champion speedboard breaker, Blake

Beckham.

His only weapon, a set of killer vampire
claws.

Now, to test the predatory strength of
the vampire, what we've created, It's

vampire gauntlet. Now, each finger will
have a carbon steel blade razor

-sharpened to show the ripping power of
a vampire's hands against our moving

target. Leif represents a vampire with
six times his speed and strength. The 12

targets represents a 72 zombie horde.

How many targets Leif kills before
anyone can reach him?

will help determine a fair vampire to
zombie ratio for the final battle.

going to start from about 20 to 30 feet
out.

They're going to move towards the center
anywhere between 2 and 3 miles per

hour. And what we're trying to come up
with is a ratio that we can use in our

sim to make this as even fight as
possible. Good luck.

On 3, 2...

They're right. They closed the door.

That was freaking insane.

That was great.

Nice work.

Leif destroyed nine zombie cuffs before
the remaining three were able to reach

him. What you did here is you literally
went through the orbital fossa here,

through the nose. You get that down
through the cribriform plate, the

part in the skull that goes right into
that midbrain. This zombie is done.

Okay. You were able to kill nine
zombies, multiplying by six, accounting

vampire's additional strength and speed.

That's 54 dead zombies.

The vampire killed 54 zombies out of the
horde of 72.

The average of those two numbers is 63.

So to create the fairest fight possible,
the final battle ratio will be 63

zombies to one vampire.

Blake, what was it like being in that
circle with all those zombies coming

you? Did you ever feel overwhelmed?

Oh, I was.

All of a sudden, I turn around, and
there'd be another one right there in my

face. I know that a vampire is tough.

But when you're talking about numbers,
there's going to be a possibility of

being intimidated in that space. And
intimidation is going to be an X factor

put into this thing.

Well, one of the things that makes
vampires what they are is they do feel

emotion. So it is possible. But like
everything else with them, accelerated

strength, speed, they're superhuman. So
I would imagine a threshold for fear and

panic. In a combat situation, it's a
much wider threshold than a normal

Mack, about fear. A vampire may not get
scared. A zombie cannot get scared. They

are biologically incapable of fear. They
can bite, but they will never choke.

Coming up.

The legends of these creatures'
terrifying teeth.

A rift of shreds. And later.

It's a clash of the kill strikes.

As the feeding frenzy continues.

Zombies. Vampires, who is deadliest?

Dracula starts the tradition of a
vampire having to use some of its blood

complete the transformation into a
vampire, get it started with a bite,

the human blood, and then fill that
deficit with vampire blood.

In Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula in 1897.

He creates this character, Count
Dracula, that he bases on Vlad the

was this Romanian leader in the 16th
century.

Vlad got his name because supposedly he
liked to impale his slave labor force or

his enemies.

When George Romero made the
groundbreaking film Night of the Living

He turned zombies from this passive, not
dangerous slave to an autonomous,

raving, cannibalistic monster that was
seeking out human flesh to feed on. No

one had ever seen anything like that
before.

Our first test determined a ratio of 63
zombies to every one vampire for our

final battle.

Now we'll test the weapons these living
dead warriors use when they close in for

their kill, their mouths.

Zombies strike with an unrelenting
combo.

A teeth and jaw.

Flesh and bone pulverizers much stronger
than a living human.

We're talking about a zombie. We're
talking about humanoid locusts.

A literal swarm, a tornado of teeth.

The great thing about a zombie is that
it's not going to withhold anything. So

it will bite as hard as it possibly can
within the human jaw structure to get at

its prey. You know, the jaw bone is one
of the strongest bones in the body. The

masseter muscle is one of the strongest
muscles in the human body. And you

combine that with the fact that zombies
don't have limitations. Pain does not

limit their ability. The jaw potential
can be much greater than in normal human

beings. To get an uninhibited bite
strength of a human, the best

is the bite of a canine. And we've got
trainer OJ and his 100 -pound

Joey, to help us out.

Before our experts can assess the damage
of the zombie bite, Jeff will get a

baseline bite force reading. Joey will
chomp down on a load cell hidden inside

an attack sleeve.

Let him go!

Yeah, 129.

165. You see how the switch was thrown?
You see how it suddenly became a weapon?

That's how a zombie is all the time.

218.

255.

Wow. Yeah, 255 is huge.

But is that 255 -pound zombie bite
enough to defeat a vampire?

Just like humans, vampires lose strength
from massive blood loss.

Our team needs to determine how long it
takes a zombie bite to bleed out a

vampire to the point it can no longer
fight off a zombie horde.

Jeff combines the Rottweiler data with
modern technology to accurately recreate

a zombie bite.

This is our pneumatic actuated zombie
teeth.

We can dial this up.

to match our baseline measurement of 255
pounds. But can a zombie bite weaken a

vampire to the point where the zombie
horde can move in, tear open its chest,

and destroy its heart? The zombie is not
conscious about where it's biting. We

do know, though, that there's going to
be a lot of zombies coming at it, so the

vampire will be bitten everywhere,
including the location with the quickest

bleed -out time, the soft neck, where
you do have both the carotid and the two

internal and external jugular veins.

We've got two tubes inside this neck to
mimic the jugular vein and the carotid

artery. So if this pneumatic actuator
can lacerate those tubes, we start

bleeding out. The human body has five
liters of blood. What's important there

the percentage loss of that blood. Three
liters down basically means

incapacitation for this vampire.

And you'll see this bucket is only
showing four liters, but that's because

there's a liter of blood inside the
tubes themselves.

Max, you ready? If you are, let's get
started.

It's going to get bloody.

Three, two, one, chomp away.

As soon as we start seeing blood loss,
you're getting to that first zone of

hypotension or exsanguination.

With each chomp, you're increasing the
damage to the vessel, increasing the

diameter of fill.

There we go.

At this point, your heart rate will
start getting faster to try to

for the blood loss. With that, you're
going to get cold and clammy.

When you've got a hole that big with
regards to your carotid and your jugular

vein, it's game over unless you get to a
surgeon like right now. Forty percent

of the blood volume has been lost.

We've got brain hemorrhage, poor cardiac
output with regards to the heart, renal

failure. This vampire is done.

Two minutes, 22 seconds.

Well done, Max.

Our zombie chomper was surprisingly
effective, but I think the time of two

minutes, 22 seconds to incapacitate the
vampire.

Might be a little long.

Imagine a dozen of those all working
together simultaneously to strip this

down. All right, Steve, what do you
think?

That's two and a half minutes of a
struggling vampire fighting back,

with help, just needs to get away from
these things so it can feed.

Vampires are extremely well organized.
They've got societal connections.

If I see my vampire buddy getting
chomped on by these zombies, I'm running

I'm decapitating them, I'm busting their
skulls, I'm grabbing my buddy, I'm

getting mad. Vampire blood is so
important to its power that we can see

this blood loss, the vampire becomes a
weakling, unable to defend itself.

When that zombie comes within range of
that mouth, vampires bite back.

Coming up.

When the apex predator attacks, can it
deliver a zombie kill shot?

And later, the world's most famous
mythical creatures carve out a new

warrior history.

Vampires. Zombies. Who is deadliest?

Good Lord, that zombie chomper was
absolutely gruesome. Jeff, how did you

the team go about designing that device?

Okay, well, there's no way that you can
take...

a zombie chomp force off of a living
human. So we had to turn to the canine

world. But once we had that baseline
reading force, I could work back on my

calculations for each joint in that
apparatus until I got to the force

for the push rod on the actuator. Having
the cross -sectional area and dividing

that by that force, that's the input
pressure from the hose to the actuator,

done. That easy.

Steve, with what you've seen so far, do
you have any doubts on whether the

vampires will prevail?

No, no doubts at all. I still think that
vampires have the brain, and that gives

them the advantage.

Not that you're biased in any way,
shape, or form. Of course not. Well,

ask the audience right now. Go to dwlive
.spike .com and vote on who you think

will come out on top. The results are
pouring in as we speak, and it looks

zombies are ahead.

I actually think that's quite
surprising. Zombies, it's quite close,

are ahead.

Doc Giovanni.

thoughts on the poll results?

Yeah, I mean, one thing to say to the
viewing public is never underestimate a

virus. All of medicine today has still
not been able to trump a virus, and

seeing it play out here.

And Steve, you know, obviously vampires,
quick thinking, sentient beings, you

know, do you think they're going to be
able to trump a virus?

Well, that's a big if, isn't it? You
know, my one thing with the vampires, I

would say, is they've already survived,
you know, the Black Plague to present.

And, you know, it's also a really good
thing to consider that they're dead.

Well, let's take another look and see
how things are shaping up.

Looking at the votes right now.

Zombies are still ahead. Zombies doing
very well. Stay tuned to see if you are

on point. Now, vampires versus zombies
is actually trending worldwide on

right now. So don't forget to post your
questions at warrior underscore den

hashtag DWLive for our live aftermath,
which is coming up at 11pm. Don't go

anywhere and keep on Twitter.

The misconception about vampires is that
they're only a solitary monster, but

they work together as a unit.

What I did in 30 Days of Night was I
sort of had this plot where we see that

they are capable of taking orders and
there is a hierarchy and they can work

a group.

The zombie brain is devoid of its
frontal lobe. There is no more fear,

no more hesitation.

The zombie has no self -preservation
instinct.

It will destroy itself to get to its
prey. The body is nothing more than a

vehicle. So taking out a part of that
vehicle is not going to stop it. You

to go right for the source.

Kill the brain.

In the first bite test of these two
legendary monster combatants, we saw a

zombie's chop incapacitate a vampire.

The vampire strikes back with its
powerful serrated teeth.

Jaws of death that cut like a chainsaw.

When people think of vampires they
always think of the two teeth.

The logic behind that's a little hard to
buy, you know, that a vampire could aim

two teeth for a specific vein and hit
every time. If you look in the vampire

universe about our thinking and how it's
evolved about the vampire mouth, we've

come to realize that this is an apex
predator that would probably have a

full of these really sharp teeth. A lot
of, you know, great examples, Blade,

Trinity, Daybreakers, 30 days a night.

So now what you see more with the modern
vampire are...

Bows of sharp teeth.

So what they can do now is take out the
entire side of their victim's neck,

which not only incapacitates them, but
gives them access to all the blood

they're going to need. So you're telling
us that the vampire is the apex

predator. So its bite force is going to
be at least as strong as the strongest

known bite force in the animal kingdom,
and that is the owl. The alligator

matches almost perfectly what we're
talking about with the multi rows of

that the vampire has and the strength
and the gripping power.

So we're going to bring in an alligator
to get a baseline measurement of the

vampire bite. Go. Excellent.

Okay, Joe, thank you for bringing Ripper
with you. On the longest pole we could

find, we've got two blocks, and in
between those blocks...

A 5 ,000 -pound load cell will get the
bite force off this alligator.

Be careful, brother.

Nice one. Beautiful.

Good solid bite there.

Wow. Wow.

I got 1 ,723 pounds off that.

Using the load cell reading, Jeff will
test how long it takes a vampire's bite

to puncture a zombie's skull.

destroy its brain, and kill it. We're
going to use the same pneumatic actuator

that we did on the zombie bite test with
slight adjustments.

We swapped out the zombie teeth for
vampire teeth. When the vampire makes

bite on the zombie skull, it can unhinge
its jaws, you know, make that bite

radius wider if it has to encompass that
skull.

You know, that's interesting. It's much
like a snake where it can actually

disarticulate or separate the two
portions of its jaw in order to

larger than its size.

So we've got lever settings here to
adjust for that. The third thing is we

dialed up the actuator to match our
baseline readings of 1 ,723 pounds that

got off the alligator.

We've got a ballistics gel zombie set up
here. We've got bone simulant. We've

got brain simulant in there. So this is
about as realistic as it gets.

Fantastic. Let's break some zombie
skull.

Zombies kill time to beat. Two minutes,
22 seconds.

Three.

Two, one, start chomping.

Okay,

hold it, hold it. The blood supply of
the brain is called the circle of

and Willis is dead.

Two bites in five seconds.

Okay, take a look at this. I mean, you
went through soft tissue, the

galliapineurosis, through the skull,
through the frontal brain, right down to

the core of the brain. This zombie is
done in two bites.

For me, there are three clear X factors
when I look at the result that you

produced. First thing, brutality.

Next thing we look at is intelligence
because this is an intelligent.

creature. And the last one, battlefield
effectiveness.

When you know what you're doing and what
kind of results you want to produce on

the battlefield, you can show up and
deliver. These all will be plugged into

sim. Remember, if you're being dogpiled
by 12 zombies and you've managed to kill

one, the other 11 are still biting you.
But they can't target. This vampire is

going for the brain to destroy it
because it knows what the kill shot is.

Getting toxic zombie matter in your
mouth, that's potentially toxic to the

vampire. And we've already seen...

What the zombie bite does to the vampire
in the last test.

One major blood vessel.

Bleed out.

Coming up, the zombie horde's powerful
flesh -ripping hands take on the

vampire's multi -clawed kill strike.

And later, in A Deadliest Warrior First,
the world's most vicious and terrifying

monsters collide in an all -out battle
to the death.

Vampires. Zombies. Who is deadliest?

A vampire, we have this super powerful
creature that has so much force of

behind this offensive bite. You also see
this power translated into all the

sense of sight, hearing, smell.

You can feel vibrations. You can sense
your prey moving around. This is a true

predator from a biological basis.

People often think that a zombie
decaying is a disadvantage, but to a

extent that can be an advantage. As the
fingers begin to decay, you will have

sharpening of the digits. The zombie can
take down a vampire clawing at him and

all areas of his body. Rip out its
internal organs, acts as his heart.

Serious damage.

In the historic death match between
these two mythical preachers, we've seen

zombie horde overwhelm a vampire.

And... Proven why the vampire's razor
-toothed bite is what legends are made

The undead arsenals of both creatures
include devastating close -range attacks

within arm's reach.

Zombies lash out with their ultra
-powerful hands.

Digits of death that mold through flesh
like human meat grinders.

And a group of zombies...

tear open the chest of a vampire,
eventually destroying its heart. We're

about a weapon system that has no off
switch.

And the great thing about that is that
not only does it just go, it doesn't

matter if it breaks its hands, if it
shatters its knees, it will continue to

as strong as it can all the time.

You know, what's interesting is we are
limited by our own brain's recognition

danger and knowing that we don't want to
put our bodies in harm's way.

That you can throw out the window when
we're talking about the zombie.

Because of the brain's defense
mechanisms, living humans only use a

their strength, the zombie, 100 % every
time it attacks.

The equivalent of a world -class
strongman.

To test how long it takes a group of
zombies to rip out a vampire's heart

their hands, three strongmen will attack
a ballistics gel torso, mimicking the

density and viscosity of real human
flesh and bone.

Now, zombies are not going to know
enough to target a specific organ.

looking at this as one giant homogeneous
lunch.

How about if we do this then? In order
to simulate that mindlessness, let's

blindfold our strongmen so that when
they come up here, the first thing they

touch, that's what they'll be grabbing
at and they'll work their way in from

there. That might work.

On three, two, one, rip them up!

Okay, they've gone through the soft
tissue already.

We've got chest activity here. They are
getting at the intestines. We've got a

little bit of the pecs flying out here.

All right, we're into, definitely into
the intestines. They're being ripped

We have not gotten through the chest
cavity yet.

Whoa!

There's blood everywhere.

Yes.

So we're through the complete abdominal
cavity, but the chest still remains

intact. First rib done.

Ribs are flying.

All right, the right chest has been
compromised. Most of the ribs are out.

is through.

They've gotten past the right lung.
Okay, the entire cage is open.

And they've got the heart.

Yes!

58 seconds.

The human body is constructed to
withstand pressure, tension, and it did

them a while to actually fracture
through the ribs, but...

As soon as they were able to get one,
they were able to dig underneath, tear

right through that heart. That's when
the game was over.

Not only does a zombie never want to
stop, a zombie never needs to stop. You

know, Matt, what you're bringing up is
an X factor that we call endurance.

That's definitely something that we can
plug into the sim. Well, for me, when I

look at a combat situation, one of the X
factors we've used all season is killer

instinct. But with this particular
matchup...

It is feeding instinct. Both of these
creatures have a feeding instinct, and

both of them approach it very
differently. That's going to be an X

into the sim.

Don't forget, the vampire's never going
to stop fighting. Until that heart is

pulled out, the vampire would stand a
decent chance of fighting them all.

Now it's the vampire's turn to strike
back.

Their target, a zombie crane.

Their weapon, razor -sharp claws.

Talons of terror that shred flesh into
ribbons. In order to kill a zombie, we

know you gotta get at its brain.

But to get at its brain, you gotta get
through the skull.

This hand is like a medieval weapon.
It's a mace.

And you gotta remember, a well -fed
vampire in good health is about six

the strength of a good athlete. It's
like the elite athlete had an offspring

the wolf or a panther.

By taking a baseline reading from a
nationally ranked strongman, they're

multiplying it by six.

Jeff can replicate the strength of a
vampire's claw strike.

What we've got here,

tech scan pressure mat. Underneath it,
ballistics gel. So this will give us a

baseline reading of the vampire, okay?
Then we'll multiply those numbers by six

and input it to our pneumatic vampire
arm. On your go, strike it as hard as

can.

Nice. 1 ,470 pounds.

Most heavyweight boxers don't punch that
hard. So multiplying that by six, 8

,820 pounds. That's the number we'll
plug into our pneumatic vampire arm.

work. The zombie team ripped out the
vampire's heart in 58 seconds. Can the

vampire claw destroy a zombie brain in
less time? One, let's clash!

Okay,

let's check this out.

No pun intended, but this vampire's claw
nailed it. Straight through the skull,

right into the brain. Take a look.

These are the huge lacerations going
down to the core part of that brain. It

lights out with just this one strike.

That's insta -kill for a zombie.

When you think about a sniper, it's one
shot, one kill. With a vampire, it's

definitely one strike, one kill. I
couldn't be happier. The biggest problem

zombies is they're going to get a crowd
around you, so they need to get that

fast kill. This proves they can do it.

I think it's great. You managed to kill
one zombie.

In one second. An experienced and
healthy vampire can just do this again

again and again, moving full speed, just
tap, tap, tap, moving through a group

of zombies.

You essentially just burst a toxic water
balloon. You're sort of spreading the

zombie plague all over the place. The
zombie's goal is to spread itself, and

just did it. From a medical standpoint,
the potential of a virus infecting any

species is always there. It's just a
matter of mutation.

Having said that, the trauma here is
real. This is definitely an instant

kill. Coming up, the vampire's
superhuman skill.

Face off against a zombie horde's
feeding frenzy in an unprecedented

battle for the dead. Who will be the
deadliest warrior?

Wow. An instant zombie kill from a
pneumatic vampire claw.

That's got to be a first. Another first
for Deadly Warrior.

This is the matchup the fans have been
waiting for, and that's why this show is

trending worldwide on Twitter right now.
So keep those questions coming in.

We've reset the live polls on dwlive
.spike .com, so vote again right now.

Let's have a look at those polls. There
we go.

As you can see, it's actually very,
very, very close indeed.

In fact, exactly 50 -50. That can't be
closer. Wow.

Mike, do you have any hints on what to
look for in the final battle? Well,

we all know this matchup is all about
making the other guy more dead.

So I've got a feeling strategy and
tactics are going to play a role.

Absolutely. Let's take one last look and
see if that has changed. Remember,

we've got hundreds of thousands of votes
coming in.

It's still very, very close indeed.

Well, after the break, we'll be back
with another special Aftermath Live.

Don't go anywhere.

I've got another great guest for you.

How does brutality factor in? The
vampires are brutal killers, but the

take the cake and they will do anything
to feed. So we rated the zombies in 96.

We rated the vampires in 88.

Vampires versus zombies.

Across the ages and beyond the grave,
these ferocious monster warriors are

rewriting history and adding new
chapters to their bloody legacies.

Our team of specialists has tested and
analyzed the weapon these living dead

killers brought to their showdown.

Final test data has been turned over to
Robert Daly and entered into the digital

combat engine, which ultimately
determines the winner. His team of

also consulted with the advisory panel.

and assign numeric values to more than
100 X factors.

There's all of these intangibles that
really make the difference when you go

on the battlefield. And those include
things like intelligence and feeding

instinct. We then rate them on a scale
of 1 to 100, with 100 being the ultimate

warrior. Okay, Rob, for me, it's all
about intelligence.

You've got the zombie that's literally
living on his midbrain. You've got the

vampire, been around for centuries.

Stealthy, intelligent.

It's got to play huge in our system. You
know, absolutely.

On the vampire side, intelligence is off
the charts. And we rated him a 93 to

the zombies, 9.

Robert, both these creatures have to
feed. How are you going to rate feeding

instinct? When you look at it, zombies
are feeding because they're programmed

feed, to constantly spread this virus.
On the flip side, you have vampires, and

what they are doing is feeding to
survive.

So we rated them, the zombie, an 88
versus the vampires, 82.

What about the X factor of endurance?
The vampire can actually tire.

As opposed to the zombie that just
doesn't quit. It keeps going and going

going until literally its body decays
and flesh starts falling off. When

looking at endurance, we had to go with
the highest rating we possibly could

with the zombie. And we rated the zombie
100 because they are just nonstop

machines.

On the flip side, you have the vampire
who's extremely fit, well -conditioned.

He does have superhuman endurance, but
we only rated him an 87.

We've entered the weapons data. We've
assigned values to all of our X

Let's head to the sim. Using the zombie
-vampire ratio at 63 to 1 established in

the Ring of Death test, the digital
combat engine will simulate 5 ,000

of the undead.

The vampires ended up taking it 2 ,541
versus the zombies 2 ,459. It was

a lot closer than I thought it would be.
The zombies played to their strength of

having numbers, but the fact that the
vampires' claws could kill so swiftly

swung the battles in their favor.

Zombies had an advantage in the majority
of X -Factors.

The vampires dominated with their
superhuman weapons, especially their

which accounted for almost half of the
simulation's total kills.

With the vampire, it's stronger than a
human. It's faster than a human. It's

the ability to regenerate.

There's a reason why they're the apex
predator. You can't lose sight of the

that they are intelligent.

They have strategy and tactics.

You're talking about a creature that
could have centuries, even millennia of

battlefield experience.

The vampire is an unbelievable warrior.
I was blown away with all of its

characteristics. Having said that, no
matter how apex of a predator you are,

that virus will always be a danger for
the vampire.

And vampires win by the skin of their
teeth, literally. Full post -show
