Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Page #4

I, to eternity.

You, to your convictions. Others,

to the color of their skin.

All I ever wanted

was to see my kind granted

their rightful place.

But there are those of us,

those like your friend Henry,

who enjoy living in the dark.

And as you're doubtless aware,

I cannot personally

destroy him, nor he I.

You, Mr. Lincoln,

you could eliminate those

last pockets of resistance,

beginning with Henry Sturges himself.

All I ask....

is for you to break your chains.

Kill your master.

Be free.

And if I refuse?

Then you go on your merry way.

After I make you one of us, and

spoon-feed you your friend.

Now, a simple "yes"

or "no" will suffice.

Kill Henry,

save your friend.

Feel free to take your

time to decide. Five,

four,

three,

two,

one.

Come on.

This way.

Miss Tubman, Miss Tubman.

We have been waiting for you.

Come quickly.

People getting killed every day.

Slaves disappearing.

Some people talk about

monsters and demons.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How can I assist you

on this beautiful day?

We're looking for three men.

You know, I did see someone

run down that way.

You're welcome to come in if you like.

Our service is about to begin.

Right, let's keep going.

I take it you all came from up North?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I suggest you get back

there as fast as you can.

There's a war coming.

A war for the soul of the country.

Going to be all colors

of blood spilled.

Our nation was built

on the backs of slaves.

Their labor, their blood.

More blood than you

could possibly imagine.

I have seen this horror

of the South firsthand.

I say the need for peace

outweighs the needs of the blacks.

I say that if the people of

this great nation want slavery,

then let them have it.

The demon of slavery is

tearing our country apart.

We must stand up.

We must stand strong and fight.

Fight for the very

soul of our nation.

Until every man is free,

we are all slaves.

You cannot take on slavery, Abraham.

You cannot take on the whole South.

Why, because of Adam? No.

Are you afraid of him?

Because it is the only thing that has

kept them sated for all these years,

and you take that away,

then no one is safe.

So you get to choose

who lives and who dies.

A great man once said,

"What we do, we do not for ourselves,"

"not for one man, but for

the good of all mankind."

Not all mankind, Abraham.

Abe?

May I have my husband back?

He's all yours, Mrs. Lincoln.

Henry only saw the struggle his way.

But I began at last to see it another.

To see and to feel the even

greater issues at stake.

So, he and I would

go our separate ways.

As the Bible says,

the time had come for me to

put aside childish things.

I would fight not with an axe,

but with words and ideals.

For a time,

they proved a stronger weapon.

Lincoln. Lincoln. Lincoln.

I appear before you

to take, in your presence,

the oath prescribed by the

Constitution of the United States

to be taken by the president

before he enters on the

execution of this office.

The question of slavery is better

settled with a pen than with a sword.

Fire.

Through twists of fate,

I found myself at 50 years of age,

the father of a nation that

was tearing itself apart

while trying to be

the father to a boy

not much older than I was

when I lost my mother.

When's the last time

you had something to eat?

I am not hungry, thank you.

You have got to eat, Abe.

You're only human.

Come along, Willie.

Willie.

Willie.

If you do this, there is

no turning back, Abe.

I know.

I am trying to protect

the freedom of a nation.

If this war is truly a

stand against evil,

then let it stand for something.

If it is a war for the freedom of man,

why not give all men

a reason to fight it?

"All persons held as slaves"

"within any state or

designated part of a state,"

"the people whereof

shall be in rebellion:"

"against the United States

shall be then..."

"...and henceforward shall be free."

Good morning.

Precious little one,

what's your name?

Willie.

And your father?

What's his?

Abraham.

What a beautiful silver sword.

How is our little soldier faring?

I have never seen anything like it.

I am sorry.

I don't know what ails your boy.

Abe.

Mary's calling for you.

I am so sorry, Abraham.

Why didn't they take me?

Because they know

it is a fate much worse than death.

Mary

is inconsolable.

She says she doesn't want

to go on without him.

There is a way, Abraham.

You know that I can restore the dead.

Do it.

Do it.

Mary...

Do it.

Your journal

the one you always

kept in your coat pocket,

I know I shouldn't have, Abe, but I

needed to know what you were hiding.

If what you say is true,

I beg you,

give us our little boy back.

Mary, he wouldn't be our little boy.

He would be something else,

something terrible.

Trust me, you don't want that.

You're asking me to trust you?

After you lied to me

for all these years.

I did it to protect you,

to protect our family.

And how did that work out?

You did this, Abe.

You did this.

You brought this on him.

You brought this on our boy.

Let me go to them.

Make a truce with Adam.

We must stop this war.

Willie's death is just the beginning.

Don't you dare say his name.

I warned you.

You didn't heed me.

How many more boys will have to

die before you listen to me?

These boys are dying in vain.

We should pull the troops back.

Abraham, this war has

cost us countless lives,

not to mention millions of dollars.

I thought we were going to

make this country great,

not tear it apart.

This is the only way we can

save the country now, Speed.

Send in troops.

Union troops are

flooding onto the field.

We are now outnumbered

and ill-equipped

compared to the North.

We will support you,

but you will need to support us.

No, thank you.

Rest assured, Mr. Davis,

you will have as many

of my kind as you need.

Fire.

Fire.

Ready.

Aim.

Here they come.

Fire.

Why did they drop their rifles?

Fire.

It's the first day of Gettysburg.

It's been a disaster.

I don't think the army

can survive another.

If the rebels break through,

they will be here in days.

The generals think we

should evacuate Washington.

Run the war from New York or

Boston, if need be.

You have to win this war.

If you don't, then all of it...

Then our son's death

will have been for nothing.

How can I win a war

when I can't even

protect my own family?

Our men have no way of defending

themselves against this enemy.

When our bullets are useless, our

bayonets are powerless as this fork.

This...

Will.

Speed.

This. This is what we need.

A fork.

Silver.

Okay, okay.

How much do we need?

All of it.

And why tell me this, Mr. Speed?

Why betray your friend?

He is my friend, but I

love this country even more.

And he, more than anyone, is responsible

for tearing this nation apart.

You have done the right thing.

I know.

That is a lot of silver, Abe.

Now, how are we going

to get all this there?
