1x10 - Maelstrom of Lament
Cambodia, Northeast Siem Reap
Lord Frost.
What is it?
Blade is awake.
So you're awake.
Leave us.
Yes, sir.
How do you feel, Daywalker?
What the hell is this!?
One of Existence's research labs. You can call it the factory.
The factory?
Manananggal, Mandurugo, Sundel Bolong...
You fought them all, and they were all genetically engineered here.
What a waste of time...
it doesn't matter what kind of vampires you cook up, I'll kill them all.
Listen, Blade...
I've sworn vengeance against vampires.
Since that day...
Dad!
Dad, dinner's ready!
Dad?
Oh man... you're always like this.
Dinner is ready!
Yeah...
Dad!
I heard you.
Professor Frost, I can appreciate your dedication to your studies,
but preperations for dinner have been completed.
Weren't you the one who said that we should eat together as much as possible, since Mom died?
Come on, up and at it.
How is it?
Delicious.
That reminds me, about school...
They said I should have no trouble getting into college.
I see.
That's my son for you.
When I get into school, I was thinking about studying at the biology department...
Listen, Edgar...
I think you can tell by looking at me,
but becoming a scholar doesn't make much money, and it's quite a handful.
I know!
Even so, I want to become a scholar like you, and help you with your research.
Edgar...
I see...
You did it, Edgar!
Dad!
Congratulations.
I still can't believe it...
Me, the valedictorian?
You earned it.
Edgar, I'm so proud of you.
I'm sure your mother is happy too.
Thank you, Dad...
Edgar was at the top of his class, and had remarkable potential.
He had a bright future ahead of him.
I'm home!
Sorry, I ended up leaving late...
Edgar? Where are you?
That looks delicious...
Were you waiting for me?
Sorry about that, Edgar.
Edgar!
Hey! Say something, Edgar!
Edgar!
Why!?
Re-open the investigation!
It's clear that Edgar's death was abnormal!
I understand how you feel, Professor Frost, but it's like we've explained...
There's no way it was just a random act of violence!
But, sir, there's even a witness that reported that your son was attacked by a tresspasser...
Edgar was bitten by something on the neck!
You can't expect a biology professor to miss a detail like that!
Why did it seem like Edgar had been drained of all his blood!?
What are you doing!?
Go home.
Hey!
Please...
Look into it again...
Professor, the case has been closed.
It doesn't matter how many files you bring to us.
I know you're working with them, and are covering up my son's death!
What are you babbling about?
Oh my, he's there again?
Is he still acting delusional?
He seriously believes a vampire killed his son.
Every day he goes to the police, and they turn him away every time.
I feel sorry for him, it's so pathetic...
I swore that I'd have vengeance against the vampires...
and the humans who worked to hide their involvements in Edgar's death.
I hired vampire hunters, and wandered all over the world searching for them...
Professor, now!
That's another step forward for your research, professor.
Yeah... a cure for the vampire virus.
I dunno if it's possible, but...
Don't be stupid! The professor can...
Professor...
What are you?
I'm sorry.
The story I told you about curing vampirism was a lie.
That's it...
How does it feel to be reborn as vampires?
And no ordinary vampires...
specially bred vampires born from genetically engineering countless different types.
You seem to be taking to it better.
Good, now complete your transformation!
I suppose for a sample it'll have to do...
If I could only find a way to increase the compatibility...
I need to find a way to identify individual characteristics.
This is good.
As soon as I began to hunt vampires, it became clear to me.
There's too many of them...
It'd be impossible for me to ever track down the one that killed Edgar.
In that case... there was only one thing I could do.
Edgar... I will avenge you.
Just you wait, you god damn vampires...
I'll kill every last one of you!
I became a vampire myself, and built this organization,
so that I could slaughter them, and the humans who worked with them.
This is my revenge.
You caused a lot of collateral damage for your bullshit revenge.
Why? Are you so stupid you think your son would want that?
You've become worse than the monster that you wanted revenge on.
No matter what you say, it won't bring my son back.
In that case, I will continue down the path that I have chosen for myself.
Let me ask you one thing...
What is it?
Why'd you bite my mother... Tara?
That night? That was quite a while ago.
There was no reason.
What!?
I was thirsty. That's all.
That's it!?
Are you really going to lecture a vampire for killing a human? Much less a filthy prostitute.
Besides, my turning that woman had an unexpected benefit.
My dream... the dream of Existence.
To regain the one thing that I gave up to become a vampire... the sun.
Not limited to the darkness, out in the world freely...
conquering the purebloods and their lapdogs...
I needed the blood of the legendary Daywalker to do that.
The one thing I was unable to engineer myself.
And to think, I had already created it!
Your birth wasn't a coincidence.
Edgar died, and you were born...
this was all part of my destiny.
Fuck you!
Soon, Existence will bring about a new world order!
I will become king of the world, lord of the vampires,
and rule the pathetic humans through fear!
Shut up...
You may as well be my son!
Now, lend your strength to your father!
Deacon Frost... you son of a bitch!
Yes... get angry. Angrier!
Blade, let all of your power come bubbling to the surface!
That woman vampire hunter Blade had been working with has infiltrated the facility.
That little girl.... I may have found a use for her.
Blade! Where are you!?
Razor!
A lion, huh?
Dammit!
Blade...
Hey!
Hey man, wake up!
Dammit...
This... I came to bring it back.
I promised, remember?
You awake?
Hang on...
I'll get you out of there...
Ma... ko... to...
Next time on Blade... Partners.
