1x07 - The Daywalker and the Mutant
Don't got a lotta good memories on this island.
I was hoping I'd never have to come here again.
But... looks like that ain't the case.
This is an island where the people don't even fear vampires.
I must be on a bad luck streak to have ended up in this hellhole.
Is this the package that old man Noah sent?
Hey, somebody's shot!
Don't worry about it. Just an argument being settled.
Seriously?
You sure you should be unloading that out in the open?
This is Madripoor. A lawless island.
No cops, not even any military.
This place is as big of a scumhole as ever.
What the hell was that!?
It's just the welcome wagon.
You know who did this?
Someone trying to iceskate uphill.
...my fault for asking.
Motherfucker!
Did Deacon Frost hire you!?
You working for A.I.M.!?
Answer me, Blade!
Answer me, Logan!
What's up with that? I thought we were after one guy.
What's going on?
You recognize them?
Nope.
Take them both!
You don't wanna die...
...so buzz off.
Damn it!
You guys are gonna pay for this!
What did they want?
Mother Mantis...
They're a gang from Lowtown. You tick them off?
I just got here.
And you're already blowing stuff up... you hurt?
Just scratched. It'll heal. Maybe not as fast you it would for you, though.
You know Blade?
Those were some nice kicks you had there, lady.
The name is Makoto. Who're you?
Logan.
I've had a few run-ins with Blade here... how long's it been?
Don't remember.
You never change, bub.
See? Nice quality, right?
When it comes to weapons manufacturing, no one on this island can match us.
You're gonna be fighting the fancy guys, right?
Still, needing silver bullets... vampires are pretty luxurious, for freaks.
Jararl... I hear you couldn't manage to kill Blade.
He won't get away next time.
After all, once I've killed Blade and set you all up with weapons, I get to live forever, right?
Lord Frost should learn to be more frugal; offering to turn such
a filthy human, who knows no servitude, into one of our kind...
Listen, Mr. Sergei, I wanna help Mr. Frost with his agenda.
And I want what you vampires got!
After I take over this island, I'll team up with you all and we'll slaughter those "noble" guys.
Whoa, scary!
But have you forgotten the kind weapons we're producing here?
Put the fangs away, or you're gonna see how well these silver bullets work first-hand.
Much better.
I'm not one of your goons; I'm motherfucking Jararl and we're partners on equal footing.
A gift, from Lord Frost.
It's a Polong, a breed of vampire from Malaysia, that he has genetically enhanced.
Feed it some human blood, and it'll follow your every command.
You better appreciate this, human.
Blade's going to be targeting this factory. Make sure you kill him this time.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not gonna fuck this chance up...
I'm going to make my way out of Lowtown, into Hightown...
into the Dragon Palace...
What's wrong? Not gonna eat?
Takes a little getting used to, but it ain't half bad.
Nice and crunchy...
It don't taste half bad. Not moldy or nothing.
I think I'll pass...
So, what brings you to this island?
Advanced Idea Mechanics... better known as A.I.M.
They're a worldwide buncha crooks, and I followed them here.
Seems like the perfect place for a weirdly named criminal organization.
Yeah, something about this hole tends to draw rats to it. From what I've been hearing...
A.I.M. has been dealing a hell of a lot of weapons around Madripoor.
I lost someone real important to me because of them... they're gonna pay.
Did you find anything out?
A few blocks from here, there's an off-shore hideout for a gang.
Their factory's received a ton of silver, shipped from Sumatra...
I'm guessing that Existence is on the warpath against the purebloods.
Looks like we both got a bunch of dirtbags to carve up.
So, Blade...
What?
This your sweetheart?
W-what... hell no, I'm not!
Well, what do you say?
Makoto's my partner.
That's right! Partners, man, partners...
Aw, really? I just assumed...
Assumed what!?
Fair enough, but I bet she's not just your partner, right?
You're right.
She's a partner I can trust.
That how it is, eh?
I don't see what's so funny.
Just thinking about how you never change. Must be rough, eh, lady?
W-what's that supposed to mean?
A whole buncha different things!
Like what!?
Look darlin', I'm not gonna spell it out for you!
Listen up! Leave Blade to me!
You all handle the small-fry!
Right!
I'm going to make my way up from Lowtown, and teach those bastards in Hightown who I am!
Just wait... this island's gonna be mine!
Come on out... let's see how useful you can be.
The Daywalker... must be rough.
You worried about him, girlie?
I guess.
Well, I'm kinda in the same boat...
I'm a mutant.
And in spite of the bucket of trouble that comes with that, I tried to make the girl I loved happy...
but the trouble never seems to let up.
So make sure you look out for him, lady.
I...
I don't know what I could do...
Just being with him's plenty.
More than enough.
Nah... I'm pretty sure that's the best thing you could do.
This smell!
What is it?
You okay?
Yeah.
Looks like we got visitors...
What's a pureblood want with us in Existence?
Mr. Sergei...
Hold it.
I happen to be one of the legendary Russian vampires, an Upyr.
And nothing you can do can hurt my steel body!
We're worse off in here...
What do we do!?
Let's get outside.
You okay?
Yeah.
I'll take the mangy dogs! You handle the flying shrimp!
Hey there, Blade.
I'm the boss of Mother Mantis, motherfucking Jararl.
Those polong things help you warm up?
You're not gonna lay a finger on my factory. As long as you stay out of my way,
Frost is going to provide me with immortality.
Sorry, but you've got to die.
Why would you abandon your humanity?
Because I wanna rule this island. It's simple.
Human or freak, doesn't really matter to me.
Bullshit... you know damn well they're not gonna honor your bargain.
Hey, anything can happen on this island!
Now imagine a vampire running the show! Pretty sweet, huh?
Well, now... this is a quantity much greater than I had heard about.
I see it would be wise to rouse Frost from his dream as quickly as possible.
Give it up!
You're gonna regret dragging me into this mess...
What's the matter Blade? That pig sticker of yours isn't just a toy, right?
I don't have any weapons that I use on humans.
Dumbass... trying to act cool?
Think about how lucky you were to be born human. Where you're headed, there's nothing but darkness.
What are you talking about?
You're a freak yourself! What do you know about me!?
It can't be!
My... my factory...
Dammit, you!
You having fun watching the fire, asshole!?
He did a fine job, for a human, but that ends now.
Good evening, Mr. Daywalker.
What do you want?
I was hoping to watch the conflict between you and Frost play out more, but in all societies, there must be order.
Frost has overstepped himself in that regard.
Before Frost can claim your power for his own, I, as one who governs the night, will see to it that you die.
Fuck off, pureblood!
The Daywalker will not see another dawn!
This is the end...
Right back at ya, bub!
How do you find my blade?
For a minute there, I thought I was dead.
You... you're a mutant!?
Impossible... a pureblood, such as myself!?
Humans... don't die that easily...
Serves you right, vampire...
To lay hands on a pureblood such as myself... do you realize what you've done!?
You imbecile! You will regret this!
Blade...
Time for round 2.
Take your shot. Not gonna help, though.
Goddammit...
You're all freaks...
It's not fair!
Your head... give me your heads! I'm going to get out of this rotten town, and show them all!
Up in the Dragon Palace...
Team-up's over, bub. I'm going after A.I.M.
Sorry for dragging you into this. Watch yourself.
You too, lady.
Razor, look after 'em.
Vampires ain't really my field of expertise, so I dunno the details, but...
I've heard some weird rumors coming outta Vietnam.
Got it.
I'll look into it.
One more thing... Existence has hired a mutant with powers that're a lot like mine.
Watch yourself if you run into him.
Right.
It's gonna get rough, but try not to die, bub.
Same to you.
Seeya around, Daywalker.
Bye for now, mutant.
Looks like Logan's info was right... but I didn't expect we'd end up being hunted.
I'm a vampire. Go ahead and kill me if you want.
Daddy... where are you going?
Next time on Blade... Apocalypse Forever.
