Let me give you...
No! Get away.
You're one of them, aren't you?
I'm something else.
I found him when he was 13.
He'd been livin' on the streets...
feedin' off the homeless.
His need for blood had taken hold at 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.
She 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 his wounds will be healed.
He still ages like a human, though.
Vampires age slower than us.
Unfortunately...
he also inherited their thirst.
I thought the serum was supposed to suppress that.
Time's runnin' out.
His body's startin' to reject it.
So far, all my efforts to find a cure have failed.
Why do you hunt them?
I had a family once...
a wife and 2 daughters.
Then a drifter came callin' one evenin'...
a vampire.
He toyed with 'em first...
tried to make me decide...
which order they'd die in.
We kill as many of 'em as we can find...
but it's gettin' worse.
Because of Frost.
There's somethin' happenin' in the vampire ranks.
It's somethin' big...
and I'd stake my life...
that son of a bitch is 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 have 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 that life back...
so don't you tell me about forgetting.
He took us by surprise!
Two of them against your entire security force?
Don't put that shit on me, 'cause you were there, too!
I'm sure Deacon will appreciate...
...stabbed in the balls for it, all right?
You little skeez!
Don't see the lifestyle really suits you.
I should put this stump through that shit-eating grin of yours.
Face it. You were sloppy. You got what you deserved.
Deac, let me take this guy out. Look what he fuckin' did!
He took my hand again!
Listen to me. I want him alive.
What the fuck are you talk... You want him alive?
We've been tryin' to kill this motherfucker for years.
Are you out of your fuckin' mind?
Big guy, relax.
Be patient.
Now, we got a lot to do here.
I need you, man.
Morning.
How you feelin'?
Look at that.
Whew. Gettin' 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, have you?
That's OK. It's all right.
Least we're here together.
Share the moment...
which means a lot to me by the way, really.
I mean that.
'Cause actually, when you get to know me...
I'm a fairly sentimental type of guy.
Bit of an innocent, you might say.
Do what you want, Frost.
Doesn't make any difference.
You just don't fuckin' get it.
You're never gonna be a pureblood.
Hold him.
You will never rule us!
Jesus Christ.
Have a nice day.
Sorry, you old dog.
You just got a little too long in the tooth.
What, man? That was funny.
"Long, tooth." Funny.
Did I tell you the one about...
What have you done with Dragonetti?
Let's get down to business, shall we?
I need 12 volunteers.
What is this?
Smells like a vampire 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 workin' on.
It's somethin' about the Blood God...
the Spirits of the Twelve.
I don't know. I can't make out the rest of it.
Maybe this'll help.
I'll figure out something.
So what's all this?
Took a trip to the hospital last night...
borrowed some equipment.
For your miracle cure?
This is E.D.T.A.
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 E.D.T.A. 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.
Gotta go downtown.
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 'em.
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...
workin' all night.
I guess we didn't catch it in time.
You got another day...
two at the most.
For what it's worth, I'm sorry.
You make it sound like I'm already dead.
How you doin', chief?
Easy.
Wouldn't want our little friend here...
to wind up on the back of a milk carton, would we?
It's nice to finally meet you.
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...
the 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, OK?
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 fuckin' maniac.
Look at 'em.
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 my fuckin' face.
Careful.
What do I care?
They're nothing but cattle...
just like you said.
If you wanna take the hard road, be my guest...
but I promise you, by the time this is over...
you're gonna wish they never cut you from your mother's...
Go home.
It was simple.
Why do vampires need to drink blood?
'Cause their own blood can't sustain hemoglobin.
Right. It's a genetic defect, just like hemolytic anemia.
That means that we have to treat it with gene therapy...
rewrite the victim's DNA with a 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...
On Blade, I'm not so sure.
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 gonna take time.
Ah, we're out of time.
You saw what was on that disk.
Damn.
Get out of here.
I said get out of here!
Nice place. Took us a while to find it!
Bite me and get it over with.
I ain't gonna bite you.
Do your thing.
Frost took her.
Listen to me.
The disk.
He decoded it.
Frost is trying to...
trigger a fuckin' vampire apocalypse.
There's some kind of...
vampire God he's trying to resurrect.
La Magra.
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.
Bullshit.
If Frost gets his hands on you...
it's all over.
There'll be armies of the motherfuckers.
Shit.
You're gonna have to finish me off.
Don't want me coming back.
We can treat the wounds.
It's too far gone.
You know that.
Give me your gun.
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.
You know?
Blade not...
givin' 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?
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've gotten scarred before you were turned.
Isn't that right?
Vampires like you aren't a species.
You're just infected...
a virus, a sexually transmitted disease.
I'll tell you what we are, sister.
We're the top of the fuckin' food chain.
The Blood God's coming, and after tonight...
you people are fuckin' 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 gonna cure the whole fuckin' world?
And Blade's blood is the key.
We got an intruder.
I don't think you understand. This dude is fuckin' bad.
He had 20 guys around him...
and he's got shit he throws at you...
Yeah, the swords.
Throw it in the air, catch it underneath.
Yeah. Shut the fuck up!
There's no intruder where we are.
Look, make it happen, all right?
It's one guy on foot.
That's him! Get him!
Why am I hearing gunfire?
Did I tell anybody to start shooting?
I need him alive.
Please!
I just work for them!
Jesus Christ. Lock this place down.
Yes, sir!
Eric?
But you died.
I came back, Eric.
That very same night...
when Deacon welcomed me into his arms.
Jesus Christ. I thought you'd be happy.
You're finally reunited, and you act like this?
Blade, 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 fuckin' family.
I need my serum.
Maybe when we get outta 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 human.
