Original subtitles

- Once upon a time.

A very long time ago,

back when the first vamp showed up,

there was a man.

- Mister!

- Yeah, mister.

Well, mister was the best hunter that there ever was.

And he traveled the Stakelands killing vamps.

And then one day he came upon this boy.

He was in real trouble.

You see, there was this big bad vamp

that was gonna eat him up!

- No.

- Yeah.

But mister showed up

and he staked that vamp right through its heart.

- Yay!

- And after that,

they came up north and he met a girl.

- Mommy!

- Yeah, it was mommy.

And the boy and this girl they fell in love.

And then you came along.

- What happened to mister?

- I don't know, baby.

One day I woke up and he was gone.

I found this necklace hanging on the side of a car.

He left it so I would always remember him.

They're dead.

- You're alive.

Act like it.

- I'll be right back, baby.

- Do you want me to go with you?

- No, not this time.

I want you to stay with her.

- Okay. - Okay, bye. Bye.

- They got Bezerkers, they're gonna kill us all!

- Not me.

So you stay close, you understand?

- I wanna stay.

- Hush, baby, you just be quiet.

Martin?

Martin?

- Put it away, boy.

We don't do history.

- The world didn't die with a bang.

It died with a scream.

Lots of them.

And I heard them all.

There's nothing left,

but a dying landscape.

People stop trying to rebuild a long time ago.

We let it all fall apart.

And now everything's quiet.

Empty.

You can go for weeks without finding a soul.

The days come and night falls.

And we survive or we die.

All you really got are your memories

and tomorrow if you're lucky.

New Eden was the only home I had left.

And she...

She took it from me.

The brotherhood called her "the mother".

Those vamp worshipers finally found their Messiah.

The one sent to wipe the earth clean of sin.

I was heading south

into the Stakelands,

if he was still alive,

that's where I'd find him...

Mister,

closest thing to family I had.

People knew of him.

Of his one-man war against the brotherhood

and the vamps.

He was a legend.

He was the last hunter.

If I wanted to get to her,

I was gonna need his help.

- Drop it, son.

- They've been coming out earlier.

Chancing the light...

Getting desperate.

Where are you coming from?

- Up north.

New Eden.

- You're a long way from home.

What are you doing here?

- I'm looking for someone.

He's called mister.

- Yeah, heard of him...

Thought he was dead.

- The poor boy looks hungry.

- You try anything, son, and I'll cut you in half.

- Oh, shush, Karl,

can't you see he's a nice boy?

- Come on.

She won't be satisfied 'till you're fed.

Be dark soon anyway.

Best get inside.

- It's good, ma'am, thank you.

- Sorry there's no meat.

We gotta make do with what we have.

- You uh...

You're not eating?

- We ate already.

Our boy Walter went to Canada,

had a child up there,

never came back.

Maybe you know of him?

Walter Armstrong?

- Come on, Jean.

It's been years.

Walter is dead or as good as.

- Give up hope,

you might as well lay down and die.

The boy is lost and alone in a world of woe.

And yet here he is looking for something.

That's hope.

Time's like these...

It's all we got to keep us going.

Make up Walter's bed for him, Karl.

- Thank you, ma'am.

- Bad things happen to good people.

World ain't fair.

Never will be.

There's good to be found.

- People pass through now and again.

I get what news they have,

update my maps, write down their stories.

- Why?

- Just a hobby,

who knows, this thing ever ends

people might wanna know what happened.

- Yeah, it's strange times we're living in.

It's the new dark ages, that's what this is.

You okay, son?

- Yeah, I just got a...

- You should sit down.

Yep, strange times.

You seem pretty tired.

Probably best you sleep right here.

- Oh no, Jean! Honey!

Oh, honey.

I'm sorr...

the mother of our blood has risen.

The devout will be saved.

The heretics will die.

Join us. Join us.

Brothers and sisters, we know the world in her image.

The brotherhood will clothe you, feed you,

Join us.

Brothers and sisters,

the mother of our blood has risen.

The devout will be saved.

The heretics will die.

Join us. Join us.

Brothers and sisters,

You need not be sick, hungry, tired...

- hey there.

- Shit man, you scared me.

- Where are you coming from?

- Canada.

- Hmm.

- How things here?

- Quiet.

What you got for trade?

- You keep that, I'm just looking for somebody.

- Well, nobody here but me.

You - you looking for the hunter.

You and them brotherhood boys,

they don't like him much.

No, sir.

- What about you, you seen him?

- Yeah, yeah, I...

Yeah, I seen him.

- Where?

- Few months back.

- Where was he headed?

- Lockdown.

West...

Towards Donnersville.

- Donnersville, where is that? How do I get there?

- Quickest way up is 71.

Past the old brick plant.

Good folk.

That's the only safe place around these parts.

- Okay, alright well thank you very much for your help.

- See you around, Canada.

- Hi.

Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm Martin, what's your name?

- Most of the good in the world is gone.

Hate,

hate seems to be the only thing that grows anymore.

You don't need fangs to be a monster.

They're worse than the vamps.

They chose this.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

feast your eyes on the behemoth!

- But first, an appetizer of mayhem.

A mano e mano, no rules death match!

And now, the "bane of Bezerkers"!

The "viceroy of violence"!

The undefeated, the "Stakelander"!

- Mister?!

Mister.

Mister, it's me.

- Mister, it's me you fucking idiot!

- Martin?

- Yes.

- Fight or die!

- Lets go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- What? - Back up.

- A precaution.

Was it brotherhood?

It was the she-vamp.

She was working with the brotherhood.

They ambushed us.

Came out of nowhere.

She had other vamps with her...

Bezerkers.

And they were organized,

like an army.

Like she had some kind of control over them.

I've never seen anything like it.

I tried to save them but...

Can we kill her?

- You got your whole life to die kid,

no point in rushing it.

Let it go.

- I can't.

- A man who spends his life on revenge.

He might as well dig two graves.

- I did.

We named our daughter belle.

Do you remember belle?

- I remember everybody, kid.

And most of them are dead.

- Hey.

I wanna be on the road in about an hour.

- I don't know what the hurry is, kid.

- What is with her?

- She's feral,

probably raised herself up in the wilds.

I seen it before.

Hey.

Come here, come here, it's okay.

That's it now.

There you go.

It's music, it's good.

That's it, yeah.

Martin, move the table!

- In there?! - Yeah.

- Your weapons!

- No, in the hole!

Girl, come on, come on. Move!

Attagirl, down in there! Down in there.

Martin, here!

- Wait!

Wait, what are you doing?

- He's in here! Get that mother fucker!

- Ah!

- Goddammit

no, no. No, no, no.

Don't worry, mister ain't easy to kill and they didn't see us.

We'll get him back. Come on.

- Oh shit.

You motherfucker.

I hate vampires.

- Are there anymore?

- I hope not.

Nice shot, kid.

Ah, she put a claw in me.

- Alright, we've got to get it out.

- No, leave it.

It's pluggin' the hole.

- Yeah, but you're gonna bleed to death.

- You're gonna have to cauterize it.

There's a lockdown north of here.

They got a doc there...

Oh, stop you're crying,

I ain't dead yet, woman.

I'm ready, kid.

Slap iron to it.

- Find him!

Bring that heathen son of a bitch back.

- Yes, sir.

- Sir!

- I'm sorry, mother,

he escaped.

I don't know how.

He... he had help.

He won't get far.

I've sent men after him...

My humblest apologies, mother of our blood.

Please forgive me.

- Go on and leave me here, kid.

I'm slowing you down.

- Alright, shut up.

I got your back, pappy, I ain't going anywhere.

- I got you're pappy swingin'.

- I saw a Willow tree a little ways back,

I'll try to cut some bark

maybe it'll help with your pain, okay?

- Hey girl...

I'm mister,

mister.

You're name is lady.

Mister...

Lady.

You understand?

- Well now, isn't this sweet.

- You move and you die, hunter.

- I see you got yourself a squaw doggie.

She's a little old for you, no?

- Whoo, I never had a feral brat before,

I bet you she bites.

You little bitch!

Oh, now you're gonna pay.

Uh!

- Drop it!

I said, drop it or meet Jesus.

- No, please... - Martin!

- No!

He's just a boy.

- You, come here.

That's enough.

How many behind you?

- It's just us.

Me and the men you killed.

I'm not one of them,

I don't wanna do any of this.

I'm really not.

- You're wearing the fucking robe.

- They made me.

They said they'd feed me to the vamps.

I swear. I'll do anything, please.

I just don't wanna die.

- You better not be lying, boy,

because I'm in a dick shooting mood today.

- Yes, sir.

Oh!

- Ten years ago you would of shot him already,

I don't like it.

- You don't have to like it.

- Over there, come on.

I want him closer.

Ok, here. Here, here.

You, on the ground.

Hey, hey, on him.

- Whoa, whoa, hey.

You sure about that, boy?

- That's up to you.

Where did you find the holy roller?

- We killed two of them,

he surrendered.

- Why is he still alive?

- Because he wouldn't let me kill him.

- What's with him?

- Got a vamp in his lung,

now are you gonna shoot us or are you gonna help us?

- What's his name?

- They call him mister.

- Whoa.

It's bat.

You son of a bitch,

I thought you were dead.

- I look dead to you?

- Yeah, you look a little dead.

How you doing, old timer?

- You call me old timer again,

you gonna find out.

- Oh, I know.

I'm so glad to see you.

Don't worry, we'll get you fixed up.

- There aren't a lot of lockdowns left

and the ones that are still around

ain't places you wanna be.

There's still good out there,

I believe that.

But it always finds you too late.

They had walls, weapons,

I should have been hopeful.

That was the first time in a long time

that somewhere felt safe,

but I couldn't rest.

Not while she was still out there.

- I brought you something to eat.

Just push it back out when you're done.

- Thank you.

Wait, what's your name?

- Billie.

- It's Billie?

- They named me after my uncle.

- It's nice, I like it.

I'm Juda.

- I gotta go.

- It was nice to meet you.

- Bye.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

easy girl.

He needs the rest now.

Hey, I'm Earl.

- How is he?

- He's...

Well, he's mostly mean and ugly,

but I think he'll make it.

He should be up on his feet in a couple of days.

- So, you're a doctor?

- Yeah, that I am.

Well, I was a veterinarian,

but since the fall I fix people up mostly.

Flesh, blood, bone, it's all the same shit.

- Mister said that you'd...

That you'd patched him up before?

- That I did,

bat and I were with him in Mexico,

back at the beginning.

Come on, come with me. I'll show you to your room.

- Lady, lady, come on.

Come on, come on.

- Juda?

- They ain't gonna let me out,

they're gonna... They're gonna kill me.

- Hey, come on.

Hey.

- Hi.

- You're gonna be okay,

just gotta give them some time to soften up.

- Can't you - cant you just let me out?

I mean, I don't want any trouble.

I'll just run off, please.

- I can't.

- Please, Billie, don't go.

- It's an old convent

the brotherhood took it from the nuns

and we took it from the brotherhood.

That was a ways back before they got so fucking organized.

Everybody pulls their weight here.

You got teachers,

we got a couple of carpenters,

we got ex-military men,

they're all good people.

There's a barbed-wire fence that runs the perimeter,

doesn't look like much but it's electrified

so that makes it fun.

- Yeah, we had a couple of solar cells in new Eden but,

never could of drawn this much power.

- Yeah I got my twin girls for that.

See these two genies?

They power the whole damn fandango.

But you ain't even seen my favorite part.

- The shower's free.

- Alright, lady, it's your turn.

Come on.

Come on!

Here you go.

There's some clean clothes there for you.

- There you go, go ahead. Go ahead, lady.

- Alright, alright, take it easy goddammit.

- How are you feeling, old buddy?

- Oh, like a bucket of shit.

I could use a drink, you carrying?

- It's a little early, ain't it?

- Not in China.

- Yup, you know me too well.

Here you go.

- Mexico.

- Mexico.

How long do I have to lay here?

- Oh, I'd say just about a day or two.

- Gimme that. - What?

- This is for medicinal purposes only.

Here, kid, you try it.

Go ahead.

Bat makes this stuff himself.

Make your balls bounce.

- Oh yeah, that stuff is nasty.

- Nasty, nasty.

- Let's let the man rest a bit.

- Yeah.

Real good to see you again.

- Good to see you, bat.

- Come on, you too, little girl.

- Nah, leave her.

- Thanks, doc. - Yeah.

- Let me know if you need anything for the pain.

- Yeah.

- Juda?

You feelin' alright?

Juda?

Oh my god! Juda!

- When, uh, Mexico went vamp shit,

we pulled out, we headed north.

Mister had a wife

and a child across the border.

It wasn't pretty down south.

It was bad.

Bad as it gets.

- So bad that something snapped inside that man.

It was like a... Like a switch.

All he wanted to do was kill.

- Well, we never got the one who killed his family,

so the way I figured it, if he couldn't get the one,

he'd get them all.

- But we stayed together for a while.

And then we split.

He wanted to check up on his folks up in Maryland

and bat and I we headed north.

With everybody else who was running away.

- Yeah and then the shit hit the fan in the states.

Whole fucking enchilada fell apart.

- And that note,

how about we get another drink.

- And I got ten o'clock watch. I gotta head out.

Now, you knock back a couple for me, young buck.

- Yeah.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Thanks.

Come on. Come on.

- Boy!

Son of a bitch!

- Is Helios ready?!

- Almost.

- Who's Helios?

- Sunshine in the nighttime, baby.

- They're gonna ram the fucking gate!

- Coming up quick. Coming up quick.

Somebody cover me.

- Helios now!

Burn baby, burn.

That's Helios for your ass!

- Get away from the goddamn window!

Shit!

You stay here and don't you move,

you hear me?

- We gotta move!

- Fuck.

- Oh yeah, take your asses home.

- Let me go, let me go!

- Not worth it kid, she'll kill you.

- I don't care.

- I do.

- Helios held them back,

but we still lost six.

- Hey, look who we found.

- Whoa, whoa...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Put him in the basement!

Don't worry, we're gonna squeeze him,

slow.

You were right, we should of killed that holy roller

when we had the chance.

- Amen.

- How many Jesus junkies are out there?

- There's plenty more.

More than you could count.

- Hmm.

Where are ya camping?

- You're out of time...

What does it matter?

- Well Juda, we can do this fast,

or we can do this slow.

It's totally up to you.

- Every one of you is gonna die...

And you cant win

while we got god on our side.

- You know,

it's - it's the small nerves that hurt the most.

You know what I'm saying?

And do you realize just how many small nerves

you got in your finger tips?

Hmm?

You got lots.

- God has sent them.

God is great.

God is in me.

And she is his sword.

- No, no, no, no.

Who is this fang twat

and what does she want with us anyway?

- She's after me.

I wasn't sure 'till last night.

She's something new.

A breeder.

I killed her squirt a while back,

I took her eye out...

She used you to find me.

I'm sorry, kid.

That ain't worth shit, is it?

- Remind you of someone?

- You better get your people up the mountain

before they get here.

- Code one. Code one.

All personnel will evacuate at 1900 hours.

Take only what is necessary.

Meet in the courtyard for further instructions.

This is evac...

- You got a plan?

- Yup,

I'm gonna wait till that bitch shows up

and I'm gonna take it to her.

- Dying ain't much of a plan, boy.

- I really don't give a shit.

Dead's dead,

as long as I take her with me.

- She wants to hurt me. Like I hurt her.

- Yup and you're leaving.

- Yeah, maybe not.

If I stay,

we stake her ass or we die trying.

Either way, we buy these folks some time

to make it up the mountain.

- Okay.

Okay.

You and me.

- No, no, no, no, you Stakelanders

think you're gonna do this on your own?

Just the two of you?

Have all the fun? You got another thing coming.

- Yeah, we been running ever since Mexico.

Personally, I'm a little tired of it.

- This ain't your fight, doc.

- Odds are all four of us are gonna die.

- Yeah well, I hear that's gonna happen anyway.

So why don't we make it count.

- Cheer up!

- Easy, easy.

Okay, I'm sorry.

- We got it all wired up, it's good to go.

Those blood bags won't know what hit 'em.

- Now, if anybody is left when it's over,

head for the mountains.

- Yeah.

- Let's kill some goddamn blood suckers, eh?

- Watch your back.

- She gonna be alright?

- My daughters name was rose.

- Are you sure you're gonna be able to shoot straight?

Couldn't shoot straight without it.

What the hell?

- Comin' from the back! - Oh, jeez!

- There's movement here - come on. Come on. Come on, move it!

- Stay here. Watch the camp.

- Okay...

- She's trying to pull a fast one on us.

- Yeah well,

they can come and get it any way they want.

- Let's wait 'till they're close,

we don't wanna waste ammo.

- What the hell are they doing?

Why are they stopping?

- I don't need this shit.

Lets light 'em up!

- We got a runner!

Up front! Hey!

He's heading for the Geny!

Hey!

Get your asses...

- well, shit!

- Back up front, back up front!

- Hey!

- Come on, bat. Lead 'em this way.

- Come on you bitch!

You want me? Come and get some!

- Keep going, this way.

- You missed the heart, goddammit!

Uh.

- Shit! - Damn!

- We're pinned down, man. - We're not getting out.

- We're not getting out of this one!

- No we ain't.

- You gotta do it!

- We gotta do it. - We got to do it!

- Ah!

- I'm over here, bitch!

Uh.

Finish it, kid.

You feel better?

No...

But I don't feel worse.

- I feel like shit.

- You look like shit.

- It's been a great ride, bat.

Its been a great ride.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Now let's take these blood suckers to hell.

- Come on, old man.

She's gone.

She's gone.

- Lady?

It's me... it's mister.

- You know me.

- Easy, girl.

- No, girl.

No, no, no, no.

Mister...

- I cant do this anymore, kid.

- Don't even think about it.

- I'll buy you as much time as I can.

- No.

No, I'm gonna stay and we'll fight.

- A man wants his son to be better than he is.

Git.

- I don't know what happened to him.

Guess it doesn't matter.

But I know I'll see him again.

In this hell or the next.
