Original subtitles

Looks like she was bitten by an animal. Oh, Jesus.

The water's broken.

She's got a uterine contraction.

We have to do a C -section.

What you got down there, little man?

Oh, that's my heat seeker. Let it in.

So where are we going?

Surprise. Yeah, I like surprises.

Yeah.

Woo!

Yeah.

What the fuck are we doing here?

Woo! Look at all that.

Ah!

That's him! Get him! Fuck him up!

We're gonna jack you up!

Make him hurt!

I'm getting a little tired of chopping blood.

Don't know if I tried fire for a change.

In my regards to Frost.

Put him out.

Got

our

guard cadaver here for ya.

Still warm too.

Jesus, that's rank.

Paramedics said he was still screaming when they found him stapled to a wall.

He was very pretty.

Did you check the camp panel?

I mean, blood sugar is three times the norm. Phosphorus and uric acid are off

the charts. You took this off a DOA?

Yeah.

But this doesn't make any sense.

The red blood cells are biconvect, which is impossible.

What are the polys? They're binucleated.

Okay, Curtis.

It's 3 o 'clock in the morning. This is not a joke. I've got the body sitting in

the morgue right now.

I thought you promised to give me some distance.

I just want you to come down and take a look.

Okay.

Show me the body.

I don't want to hear a word about us.

Don, we've had that conversation.

You ever started on the internal organ thing?

Just a blood sample for the pericardium.

The maxilla looks a little deformed.

There's some odd muscle structure around the canines. I'm going to go ahead and

start the Y and check the tracheal mucosa.

Let me ask you something.

Honestly.

You ever have second thoughts about us?

Sometimes. But then I remember how much of an asshole you were. You want to cut

me some slack here?

You asked for some time off, I gave you some time off.

Look, Kurt. No, I'm trying. Really, I am. It's over.

I came back to finish you off. Get out of my way, you freak!

Get out of here!

Freak!

Where the fuck are you out of your damn mind?

Whistler!

Whistler!

Bring it home to Strange now.

She's been bitten.

You should have killed her then.

Yeah, I know.

But I didn't.

You watch her close.

If she starts to turn, you finish her off.

Or I will.

She's borderline.

Another hour, she'd be well into the change.

Dr. Karen Jensen.

Listen close.

I'm going to inject you with allium sediment.

Garlic.

That's going to hurt a lot. It was Quinn.

Frost, little errand boy.

Get a lead on him? No.

Too bad.

Hold it.

Give her 50 -50.

She makes it through the night.

Blade, the daywalker, still pursuing his ridiculous crusade.

How many died?

We don't have an exact count.

Apparently he used a lot of silver.

We're having difficulty. Send in Frost.

Deacon Frost.

You can come in now.

These nightclubs of yours are dangerous.

Are they?

They draw needless attention to our kind.

You know our policy.

Your policy?

Not mine.

Our livelihood depends on our...

our discretion.

Maybe it's time we forgot about discretion.

We should be ruling the humans, not running around making back alley

with them. For fuck's sake, these people are our food, not our allies.

You're out of line, Frost. Am I?

Or maybe I'm just the first to say out loud what we've all been thinking.

We have existed this way for thousands of years.

Who are you?

You're not even a pure blood.

Like it matters.

I was born a vampire, as was every other member of this house.

But you, Frost, you were merely turned.

The world belongs to us.

You know that.

Do we have any other business to discuss?

Well, there's the matter of our offshore accounts.

We're having difficulty... And have you made the transfer to the... You may wake

up one day and find yourself extinct.

You're a week early.

Yeah.

Whistler says I'm building up a resistance to the serum.

Yeah, I figured that might happen.

You take care, all right?

Then you'd bring home a stray like that.

Damn stupid.

Might have lucked out.

I checked her background.

Turns out she's a hematologist.

She might be useful to us.

And I doubt it.

Period.

I took a look at that notebook of hers.

She's on to something.

I had to increase the dose.

It's over 50 milligrams now. That's getting dangerous.

Just do it.

Oh, man.

Wander off the beaten path, Doctor.

Who are you people?

My name's Abraham Whistler.

You've met Blade.

So am I a prisoner here?

Not at all.

We just had to take certain precautions before we let you go.

You've got to understand, they're everywhere.

Vampires.

The hominids nocturna.

We hunt them, you see.

Moving from one city to the next, tracking their migrations.

They're hard to kill.

They tend to regenerate.

And I'm supposed to believe that.

Well, you already met Mr. Crispy at the hospital.

What do you think?

So what do you think?

Steak? Crosses? Crosses don't do squat.

Some of the legends are true, though.

Vampires are severely allergic to silver.

Feed them garlic and they're going into anaphylactic shock.

And, of course, there's always sunlight, ultraviolet rays.

I got this sucker running.

You want to give it a try tonight?

But you're so big.

If you want to live to see another day, you'll be out of town by nightfall.

So where am I supposed to go?

You've been exposed to them.

One way or another, somebody's going to take you out.

There's a war going on out there.

Blade, myself, a few others.

We tried to keep it from spilling over onto the streets.

Sometimes people like yourself get caught in the crossfire.

I have blood samples.

I can go to the police.

They own the police.

You have to understand they're everywhere.

Chances are you've seen them yourself and didn't know it.

On the subway or in a bar.

So that's it?

You guys just patch me up and send me on my way.

Vampire mace.

Silver nitrate, essence of garlic.

Keep your eyes open.

Be careful.

One other thing.

Buy yourself a gun.

You start getting sensitive to daylight.

You find you're thirsty, regardless of how much you had to drink.

Then I suggest you take that gun and use it on yourself.

Better that than the alternative.

You have been warned before.

These archives are restricted to the members of the House of Erebus.

You are wasting your time.

It's a dead language.

The ancient text can never be translated.

You wouldn't even understand them.

David Frost!

I'm talking to you!

Keep your voice down, Giordano.

We're in a library.

You don't need to shout.

What do you have to frost?

What

are

you gonna do?

Remember what we told you.

You keep your eyes open.

They're everywhere.

But it's daytime!

Hey, I'm sorry. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. I'm a police officer.

I'm sorry, okay?

Police officer, I didn't mean to scare you. The front door was open. What are

you doing in here?

I'm just here on a routine check.

Look, I'm Officer Krieger, 42nd Precinct.

You're Karen Jensen, right?

Yeah.

Your co -workers at the hospital said that you were kidnapped last night.

Are you okay?

What happened to the other doctor?

Curtis Webb.

He died.

Don't worry about that right now, okay?

Why?

You're dead too.

What is this, garlic?

Yeah, well, he said it would work against vampires.

Vampires?

Who'd said I was a vampire, huh?

Nobody.

He's a familiar.

A vampire wannabe.

I hope he's loyal enough.

When he proves himself, maybe his master will turn him.

Wait a minute.

You use me as bait?

Get over it.

All that necessary.

That's a glyph.

A vampire cattle brand.

It means that Officer Craig is somebody's property.

Another vampire tries to bleed this little hooker and they have to answer to

owner.

Deacon Frost.

We've been dragging him for a long time.

Officer Craig, you're going to be a little bloodhound, huh?

Tell us what your past has been up to.

Oh, great. Now you're robbing us.

You gonna rob me, too? How do you think that we fund this organization, huh?

We're not exactly the March of Dimes.

Well, looks like our friend has been blood running, huh?

I don't want criminal.

I know this place. It's a blood bank.

Owned by vampires, and there's one in every city.

And they always deliver. So where were you taking it?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Take it easy.

I'm only going to ask you one more time.

Where were you taking it?

Go fuck yourself. Fuck me? No, you suck this.

The world you live in is just a sugar -coated topping.

There is another world beneath it.

The real world.

And if you want to survive it, you better learn to pull the trigger.

Wait a minute. I'm coming with you. You're useless.

I have to stick with you.

It's the only way that I'll stay alive long enough to find a cure for myself.

There is no cure.

He's not going to come back.

Nobody's that stupid.

When you understand the nature of a thing, you know what it's capable of.

It's Krieger from 16 -0 -0 -9. Yes.

Get me Pearl. Pearl is speeding.

I got a delivery from Brock here, and I just had a run -in with Clay.

Gotta clear out that clinic on Hilbert now!

Looks like we hit pay dirt.

That's a vampire mark.

Means that there's a safe house around here somewhere.

A place they can go when dawn is coming.

You see the valleys over there?

They're vampires.

So is the doorman.

And the whore in the corner.

How can you tell?

By the way they move.

The way they smell.

Like a bad dream.

There's worse things out tonight than vampires.

Like what?

Like me.

Okay, Vampire Anatomy 101.

Crosses and running water don't do dicks, so forget what you've seen in the

movies. You use a stake, silver, or sunlight.

You know how to use one of these?

Nope. My damn shoreline cross. Safety's all grounds or any chamber. Silver

hollow point filled with garlic. You ain't for the head or the heart.

else is your ass.

You have an invitation.

I can't tell you that

Where's the entrance?

Okay. Okay.

It's in the freezer.

You have forced a message from me.

You tell them it's open season and all. Suck heads.

Some kind of archive.

This must be where they keep most of their records.

Isn't this just a little high tech?

They've got their clothes dead.

Politics, finance, real estate. They already own half of downtown.

Good party.

Yeah, but where is he?

Don't keep everyone waiting.

I've got to talk to you, bro.

I'm sorry. I had to come here.

It's a mistake going to Pearl's. I know that. Dumb fucking me.

I know you're disappointed.

Am I that transparent?

You want a meal?

Yeah. I can get you guys anything.

Just retire.

Hey.

Yeah.

I've been telling these bitches all about you, man. They've been dying to

you. They're so psyched. Badass bitches. They would have met him.

Ross,

it's about Blade.

He's busy, you know, because when he's focused, he doesn't have time to talk.

Ross, this is important.

Blade was waiting for me.

Look, you're using the girl as bait.

You're a stupid enough bitch. Shut up, bitch.

I didn't know he was going to be there.

It's a trap, see?

Don't worry about it. It's no problem. Just go get the girl.

Yeah!

Can you hear me, Quinn?

I want him alive.

What?

Wait a minute, man.

I want him alive!

This must be Pearl, the record keeper.

He's going to kill me. You need me, Frost.

You need me. Pearl, your history. Have the good grace to die with some fucking

dignity.

That biscuit boy is a UV lamp.

We're going to play a little game of 20 questions. Depending on how you answer,

you may walk out of here with a tan.

What's that?

Oh, that's nothing.

It's routine research.

Actually, it's a video game.

That must hurt.

It's a fragment.

A piece of the prophecy.

What prophecy?

Oh, I'm not really sure. There's so many houses.

mind me borrowing this for a while, will you?

If he moves.

Right.

What's in here?

Nothing. It's just a storeroom. But you're wasting your time. There's

importance to anyone.

Then you won't mind if I take a peek?

I moved.

These are the pages from the Book of Erebus.

The Vampire Bible.

It contains everything.

Their entire history.

La Magra must be one of their legends.

Why is Foie so interested in La Magra?

Hola, amigo.

Do you remember me?

Nice one.

Well, well, well.

You took my arm, man.

Remember?

But it's cool.

I got a new one.

Think I'll ever play piano again?

You can slice him. You can dice him. But the queen man just keep talking. Check

it out.

I've got his pig sticker.

You're just full of surprises.

Ancient chief.

Stay with me, sweetness.

Because I'm not finished with you yet.

Lookie here.

Silver.

Nice craftsmanship, huh?

Probably cost you a pretty penny.

Now this here.

is a man who takes his job just a little too seriously, don't you think?

Come to think of it, Blade, I owe you one.

Actually, if you want to get technical, Blade, I owe you two.

Oh, it's so funny, Bright Eyes.

I'm expecting company.

Catch you fuckers at a bad time.

It's not too open there.

Somebody get me a goddamn wheelchair.

He can take care of himself.

Oh my god!

What's wrong?

It's dislocated.

Stop!

You're one of them, aren't you?

No.

I'm something else.

I found him when he was 13.

He'd been living on the streets, feeding off the homeless.

His need for blood had taken hold of puberty.

I took him for a vampire at first.

Almost killed him, too.

Then I realized what he was.

Blade's mother was attacked by a vampire while she was pregnant.

He died, but he lived.

Unfortunately, he'd undergone certain genetic changes.

He can withstand garlic, silver, even sunlight.

And he's got their strength.

This time tomorrow, all those wounds of his will be healed.

He still ages like a human, though.

See, vampires age slower than us.

Unfortunately, he also inherited their thirst.

I thought the serum was supposed to suppress that.

Time's running out.

His body's starting to reject it.

So far, all my efforts to find a cure have failed.

Why do you hunt them?

I had a family once.

Wife, two daughters.

Then a drifter came calling one evening.

A vampire.

He toyed with them first.

Tried to make me decide which order they'd die in.

We kill as many of them as we can find.

But it's getting worse.

Because of Frost.

There's something happening in the vampire ranks.

There's something big.

And I'd stake my life if that son of a bitch was at the center of it.

Whistler told me what happened.

He told me what you are.

You don't know me.

You don't know anything about me.

I'm not human.

You look human to me. Humans don't drink blood.

That was a long time ago.

Maybe you should let that go.

I've spent my whole life looking for that thing that killed my mother.

It made me what I am.

And every time I take one of those monsters out, I get a little piece of

life back.

So don't you tell me about forgetting.

I thought you took this by surprise. We were outgunned.

Don't point your finger at me.

Don't put that shit on me, okay? Because you were there, too. I was out there

doing my best, and I got stabbed in the balls for it, all right? Ow, you little

stink!

I should have put this stump through that shit -eating grin of yours. Face

Angel. You were a sloppy. You got what you deserved.

Deke, let me take this guy out, man. Look.

Look what he fucking did. He took my hand again.

Listen to me.

I want him alive.

What the fuck are you talking about? You want him alive?

We've been trying to kill this motherfucker for years.

Are you out of your fucking mind? You want... Shh.

Big guy.

Relax.

Be patient.

And we got a lot to do here.

Morning. How you feeling?

Look at that.

Getting a little toasty out here, huh?

When was the last time you stopped to appreciate a good sunrise?

Oh, that's right. You were born a vampire, so you never had the pleasure,

you?

That's okay.

It's all right.

At least we're here together.

Share the moment.

Which means a lot to me, by the way, really.

I mean that.

It was actually, you know, when you get to know me, I'm a fairly sentimental

type of guy.

Bit of an innocent, you might say.

Doesn't make any difference.

You just don't fucking get it.

You're never going to be a pureblood.

Hold him.

You will never rule us.

Have a nice day.

Sorry, old dog.

You just got a little too long of a tooth.

What, man? That was funny.

Long tooth?

Funny. Did I tell you anyone about the leprosome?

What have you done with Dragonetti?

Let's get down to business, shall we?

I need 12 volunteers.

What is this?

I wiped his ass with it. I took it from the archives.

It's written in blood.

It's from the Book of Erebus.

I think it's what Frost has been working on.

It's something about the blood god, the spirits of the Twelve.

I don't know. I can't make out the rest of it. We'll make this a hell.

We'll figure out something.

So what's all of this?

I took a trip to the hospital last night.

Borrowed some equipment.

For your miracle cure.

This is EDTA.

It's an anticoagulant. We use it to treat blood clots.

Now look what happens when I introduce it onto a sample of vampire blood.

Take a step back.

The reaction's energetic.

Some cure?

I didn't say EDTA was a cure.

But maybe you could use it to explode some vampire heads.

Wait a minute.

I need a sample of your blood.

Later. I gotta go downtown.

I need some serum.

Serum can wait.

This is important.

Is he sick?

Cancer.

You have a lot of love for him, don't you?

We have a good arrangement.

He makes the weapons.

I use them.

You know, my mother used to say, a cold heart is a dead heart.

You don't look so good.

I'm just a little tired, you know. We've been working all night.

I guess we didn't catch it in time.

You got another day to it the most.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry.

You make it sound like I'm already dead.

How you doing, Chief?

Easy.

Wouldn't want our little friend here to wind up on the back of a milk carton

now, would we?

It's nice to finally meet you, man.

Had my eye on you for years.

I know all about you. Your serum, whistler, everything.

Sunblock.

Hey, it's a start, right?

The goal, of course, is to be like you.

Daywalker.

You got the best of both worlds, don't you?

All our strengths, none of our weaknesses.

Maybe I don't see it that way.

Oh, so it's back to pretending we're human again?

Come on.

Spare me the Uncle Tom routine, okay?

You can't keep denying what you are, man.

You think the humans will ever accept a half -breed like you?

They can't.

They're afraid of you.

And they should be.

You're an animal.

You're a fucking maniac.

Look at them.

They're cattle.

Pieces of meat.

What difference does it make how their world ends?

Plague, war, famine.

Morality doesn't even enter into it.

We're just a function of natural selection, man.

The new race.

Looks like your mascara's running.

I'm offering you a truce.

I want you with us.

What, do you think I'm stupid?

You're familiar with the Blood God?

You're nothing to me but another dead vampire.

You're an idiot, you know that?

I came down here offering you an easy way out, and you spit it right back in

fucking face.

Careful.

What do I care?

Nothing but cattle.

Just like you said.

If you want to take the hard road, be my guest, girl.

But I promise you, by the time this is over, you're going to wish they never

you from your mother's love.

It's simple.

Why do vampires need to drink blood?

Because their own blood can't sustain hemoglobin. Right, so it's a genetic

defect just like hemolytic anemia.

That means that we have to treat it with gene therapy.

We write the victim's DNA with the retrovirus.

They've been using it on sickle cell anemia.

Are you sure that's safe?

I have no idea, but I don't have a choice, do I?

You actually think this could work?

On me?

Yes.

On Blade, I'm not so sure.

See, he didn't contract vampirism from a bite like I did.

He was born with it.

It's part of his DNA.

I'm sure I can cure his thirst, but it's going to take time.

We're out of time.

You saw what was on that disc.

Get out of here.

I said get out of here.

Nice place.

Took us a while to... Bite

me and get her out with you. I ain't gonna

bite you.

Whistler!

Frost took her.

Listen to me.

The disc.

We decoded it.

Frost is trying to trigger a fucking vampire apocalypse.

There's some kind of...

Vampire God, he's trying to resurrect.

The Mug Roof.

You're the key.

He needs your blood.

The blood of the Daywalker.

You're the chosen one.

Listen to me, Blade.

You can't go after him.

If Ross gets his hands on you, it's all over.

There'll be armies of the motherfuckers.

Shit.

No.

Give me the goddamn gun.

Now walk away, you stupid son of a bitch.

Walk the fuck away.

By the time you watch this, your friend Whistler should be dead.

If it makes any difference to you, he put up quite a fight.

You can find us at the Edgewood Towers.

You seem a bit tense.

A bit pent up, maybe.

Like you need to release something.

No? Blade not giving it to you, maybe?

I don't know. I just... I see such a beautiful woman.

Great skin.

I'd like to see you happy, that's all.

Is this the part where you offer to turn me?

Well, it's either that or a body bag.

Go ahead.

Bite me.

I'll just cure myself.

I did it before, and I can do it again. There is no cure, baby. There is if

you've been bitten.

If you were once human.

How'd you get that scar, Deacon?

A born vampire would have the power to regenerate from birth.

You must have gotten scarred before you returned.

Isn't that right?

Vampires like you aren't a species.

You're just infected.

A virus, a sexually transmitted... I'll tell you what we are, sister.

We're the top of the fucking food chain.

The blood god's coming, and after tonight, you people are fucking history.

He's a hurricane.

An act of God.

Anyone caught in his path will instantly be turned.

Everyone you've ever known.

Everyone you've ever fucking loved.

It won't matter who's pureblood and who's not.

How are you going to cure the whole fucking world?

And Blade's blood is the key.

We've got an intruder.

Deke, I don't think you understand. I mean, this dude is fucking bad.

He's like, you have 20 guys around him. I was there, man. He's got shitty throws

at you.

Like the sword. Yeah, he had the sword. He had to get out of the air, catch it

underneath. Yeah, shut the fuck up.

Look, make it happen, all right? One guy on foot.

Why am I hearing gunfire?

Huh?

Did I tell anybody to start shooting? I need him alive.

No.

Please.

I've just worked for them.

Jesus Christ.

Lock this place down. Yes, sir.

I came back, Eric.

That very same night.

And Deacon welcomed me into his arms.

Jesus Christ, I thought you'd be happy.

You're finally being reunited with your mother and you act like this?

Blake, give it up. It's over.

She belongs to me, buddy.

Don't look so surprised.

You spent your whole life looking for the vampire who bit your mother.

Well, here I am.

Who would ever guess you'd survive your mother's death?

But you did.

And here we are.

One big happy fucking family.

I need my Sarah.

Maybe when we get out of this, I'll take that miracle cure of yours. There's one

catch.

If it works.

you'll lose your strength and your ability to regenerate.

You'll be completely healed.

Aaron.

Glad you could make it.

Hey, man.

Thanks for the shit.

Our ancestors called this place the Temple of Eternal Night.

Nice, isn't it?

Apparently these geniuses forgot it ever existed.

Fortunately for us, I'm what you might call a student of this.

Why are we here?

This temple was built for one glorious moment.

This night.

For the blood god.

Thanks.

Let's see this sword of yours.

Titanium, right?

Acid etched?

I get used to a weapon like this.

What?

You look surprised.

I told you, Blade. I know everything about you.

Hold out your arm, Quinn.

Why, man? Because they're, like, all better.

Hold out your arm.

Now.

Just kidding.

He was fucking with me, man. He was like a fucking... Blade.

He can't hear you, honey.

The thirst has got him now.

What do we have here?

Your precious serum.

How long has it been since you shot her?

Twelve, thirteen hours, maybe?

I bet you're just dying for a drink, aren't you?

What's it feel like?

Is your blood on fire?

Troy, son, you might like it.

Thanks, but I prefer the real thing.

In any event, I don't think you'll be needing these anymore.

It's a shame, you know?

When I think of what you've become, what you should have become, I guess I don't

blame you.

I mean, with everything that's happened, it's the human side of you that's made

you weak.

You should have listened to your blood.

You can say what you want, but I promise you, you'll be dead by dawn.

Get these fucks downstairs now.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

We haven't forgotten that. I know, baby.

We got something real special planned for you.

He figured he'd turn. Yeah, but he didn't turn, did he? No, he turned into

kind of zombie. It happens sometimes, cutie.

These guys are complete scum, man. They'll eat anything.

Animals, rodents, corpses, and sometimes they'll even eat vampires.

That's a plus.

I'm bearing that all in mind.

I'd like you to meet an old friend of yours.

It's too bad.

I kind of liked her.

A little waste.

Garen.

I never thought I would see you again.

Tell me, Garen, do you ever have second thoughts about us?

Poor child.

You're so sick.

So thirsty.

Don't touch me.

Eric, look at me.

Vampires are my people now.

I'm one of them.

Me?

Yes, I can.

Try to understand, Eric.

Your mother died a long time ago.

I've hunted.

I've killed.

And I've enjoyed it.

Haven't you?

I know you have.

Sooner or later, the thirst always wins.

Spread them out.

One on each limb under the tongue.

Make it perfect.

Bring the elevator.

What do you think is going to happen? La Magra? The blood god?

That's nothing more than a fairy tale for pretty little vampires.

Why are you sweating pure blood?

You afraid we're going to steal your soul?

Your pure blood spirit?

You should be.

Read the prophecy.

It's time you fucks contributed something to the cause.

Even if Frost is right.

You really think he cares about you?

You're gonna die.

Just like the rest of us.

Late.

Late.

Tonight, the age of man comes to an end.

No more compromises.

We're going to be gods.

Of course we will.

Yeah!

I'm going to be naughty.

I'm going to be a naughty vampire god.

Save your strength.

You're hypovolemic.

You're bleeding to death.

Blade.

Listen to me.

I want you to take some of my blood.

No.

No.

Look, just do it.

Is everybody thirsty?

I hope you're all very fucking thirsty.

Juliet!

must release you.

I got two new hands, Blade, and I know which one to use to kill you with!

No.

You're too late, Blade.

Your serum?

Can't help you now, stud.

Nice shot.

Always trying to ice skate uphill.

I need to get back to the lab.

If I'm going to cure you.

It's not over.

You keep your cure.

There's still a war going on.

And I have a job to do.

You want to help?

Make me a better Sarah.

I'm so cold.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

A surprise?

Really? Yeah.

And you know, I like surprises.

Then you'll really like it.

Your skin is sweet.

Don't worry.

You're the only one who can say that.

Thank you.
