Vampire Hunter
1x03 - Vampire Hunter
Kobe.
Where's Deacon Frost?
The Philippines.
It's been a long time, Eric.
You seem a bit out of practice.
He hasn't changed at all.
If anything, he's gotten livelier with old age.
You doing alright, Razor?
Hey Noah, I apologize for calling
you out of the blue like this.
Now, Eric, you know I'm always
available to resupply you.
If it was necessary, I'd even
bring you a couple of AAA batteries.
Welcome to The Victoria II.
I'm your captain, McLay.
Just so you know, I expect you to abide
my rules while you're on this boat.
Rule Number One: No women.
Noah, did you bring it?
Of course. It's inside.
Hold it!
Hey
You little bitch!
Stay out of my way!
You seem quite capable, young lady.
I'll be your next opponent.
Not quite there yet.
I'd suggest you train harder and try again.
I've never seen Razor take a
liking to someone so quickly
My name is Noah Van Helsing.
I come from a long line of vampire hunters.
Take her off board already.
Women cause all kinds of problems.
Miss or rather, kid.
How much money do you have on you?
I'm afraid you're mistaken.
This is a boy, not a woman.
Isn't that right, Captain?
Well, in that case
Noah, do it.
This is the newest version of the retro-virus.
Its effects should last longer than before, but
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to
take it when you're hurt this badly.
I don't care this is what it
takes to keep it under control.
Don't!
Stay the fuck away from me!
Miss.
Don't you find sneak attacks to be rather uncouth?
Let him get some rest.
Agreed?
He's a Daywalker. Half human, half one of them.
He uses medicine to keep his
vampiric tendencies in check, but
It's a harsh price to pay to
live the way any other man could.
Here.
Don't want any.
I met him on a night with
a red moon, like tonight
Dover, England
I'm sorry
but I can't die yet
There's a lovely moon out tonight.
Woman, you should be honored to have
been chosen by nobility such as myself.
Take her.
Wait you, aren't you our kinsman?
No! I'm not like you!
I'm human!
Well, how fascinating
I've lived a long time, but I've
never seen anything like this before.
Wait could it be
Could you be?
Good day. You're Baron Howard, right?
Who are you!?
I happen to be a professional or
rather, a vampire hunter by blood.
What?
You should be able to get plenty of rest.
Good night, you self-styled noble rat.
Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?
N no.
Okay that's good.
Thank you
Monster! No!
Monster, eh?
Such gratitude.
I'm I
I see.
You can be in sunlight and not burn up?
You truly are one of those
legendary Daywalkers, aren't you?
I'm human!
Why'd you help me?
I suppose I find it intriguing, the way you
apologize to your victims when you drink their blood.
How do you know about that?
You were talking in your sleep,
And I happened to overhear it.
I just can't control it when I start to act like them.
And I can't afford to die, until I get what I'm after.
What exactly are you after, that
you'd be willing to go so far?
You ever hear about a vampire with four fangs?
No. I can't say I have.
I'm looking for him
My Mom, he
There is one way you can
suppress your thirst for blood.
Would you like to try it?
There's a retro-virus that I isolated
from a vampire's ashes in this serum.
I had experimented with trying to cure vampirism
in people who had been turned with this, but
it takes a long time to manufacture.
This is currently all I have.
Moreover, it was a failure as a cure.
The idea was to have the retro-virus attack
the vampire virus on a genetic level, but
everyone I tested it on burnt up.
But considering you were born this way, with
a unique strain of their characteristics,
it may be able to suppress your thirst for blood.
This is just a hypothesis
though, and I offer no guarantees.
Even though you are a Daywalker, there's a chance it
could kill you even if it doesn't turn you to ashes.
You saved that woman why?
What does it matter?
If you were simply living for revenge,
you'd only need to kill vampires.
There's no need to protect humans.
You could have simply fed off humans,
while continuing your search
for the man with four fangs.
But is that what you really want?
If you're unable to get your revenge, what
would you say to the people you've hurt?
Do you think your claims that you're
not like them would hold water?
You may be turned to ashes,
but you may also survive, controlling your blood
lust, and become something greater than them.
It's your choice.
Do it.
Let's begin
Listen to me. Right now you're
a parasite just like them.
But you're a victim of the parasite yourself,
it's not your existence that's parasitic.
Hold steadfast!
If you truly wish to live as a human,
overcome that pain, and make a miracle happen!
I will hunt them as a human
and kill the four fanged vampire!
This reminds me of a story I heard once
about a Daywalker that was born in London
I don't know if you're that boy.
But if you are, it's impressive that
you survived this long, on your own.
It seems I've got my miracle.
Teach me how to fight them.
I don't take apprentices.
So, from now on you're my partner, Eric.
I hope you're ready.
We've been traveling all over the
world, hunting vampires since then.
Although it was a while before
people started calling him "Blade"
That's got nothing to do with me.
He my Dad, he
Revenge, eh?
Your father was a hunter as well?
So what if he was?
Well never mind.
You're running from the darkness inside of you.
The darkness in me?
Vampire hunters are always facing the darkness in
themselves, as they fight the darkness that surrounds them.
Eric has been fighting against the
darkness within him this entire time.
Have you noticed that old knife he carries around?
Yeah
It seems like some kind of heirloom
I don't know the details.
When I look at him, I can kind of understand
why he tries so hard to live life as a human.
I've never asked him what he's done.
A hunter's duty isn't to hunt them.
It's to protect people from them.
If you kill him, who exactly are you protecting?
Oh my. The coffee's gone cold
Age doesn't suit me well. I tend
to go on with these stories
Miss, how about it?
My personal blend is quite excellent.
Here now, don't be so bashful.
Don't call me "miss."
I've got a name, and it's Makoto.
Well, my apologies!
You have to understand, I used
to be "young master" after all.
H-hey, what is that?
What is it? What's the fuss?
Mandurugos!
What's a mandurugo?
A vampire from Filipino folklore.
You should arm yourself well
if you don't want to die!
They're all loaded with silver!
Fire!
Rule Number Two: No vampires!
Dammit
I'm outta ammo!
Shit!
I am Matthes, from Existence.
Blade, you won't reach the Philippines alive.
Wait!
Blast it, now what do I do?
Miss! I could use your help!
But
Listen! Are you a vampire hunter or not!?
Damn that little meddling brat
I'll end this now!
Eric!
What a waste of serum
having to use it to kill this thing.
Wh-what is this!?
Tastes different than how
humans usually do, doesn't it?
Mistress Matthes!
Well done.
We got 'em!
Yes!
Noah!
What do we do?
We follow them.
Follow them?
Keep us headed South to the Philippines.
Well, being a mother isn't so bad after all.
I've been waiting for this for a long time
Now we can go to him, together
Something
Eric
Something's there! Carol!
