to start until after dark.

Keep in touch with me.

I'll let your office know

where I am.

Get some sleep.

You look like hell.

Sure.

I got something to check out.

- Good evening.

- How you doin'?

Sit down, have a drink.

Thank you very much.

Very thoughtful of you.

Hi. What'll you have?

Make it a Bloody Mary.

Mamuwalde,

maybe you can help me.

Are you into the occult?

It has some fascination.

How about the heavy stuff?

Witchcraft, voodoo...

...devil worship.

Well, we can't ignore

what the world characterizes

as the "black arts," can we?

I think that there's

some truth in all of it.

I've come

to that conclusion myself.

- What do you think of vampires?

- Vampires?

They're possibly

the most fascinating of all.

Do you... believe they exist?

Does the devil exist?

People have believed so

for thousands of years.

You seem well informed.

Oh, perhaps.

The police have a theory

about these killings.

Are we to assume

that they believe a vampire

or some other such creature

is responsible?

A vampire.

Fascinating.

However, many in the department

don't believe it.

I would think that to be

the vampire's greatest defense.

You're right.

Still, they're organizing a search.

Search?

Yeah, find his resting place...

a vampire's coffin.

Perhaps the modern vampire

doesn't require a coffin.

They are rather elusive,

you know.

What's happening, everybody?

What's goin' on?

- Hey, Skillet.

- How you doin'?

- How you doin', doc?

- What's happenin'?

My darling, we really

must be leaving now.

Tina, I wish you'd stay with us.

I'm sorry, but I'd rather go

with Mamuwalde.

Let me buy that old cape

from you, brother.

You know, he is a strange dude.

Ran off of me

like he did Nancy the other night.

Anybody seen Nancy?

No. She didn't bring

my birthday pictures back, either.

Haven't seen her

since the other night.

Look here, brother.

When you do see her,

tell Nancy that big Skillet

has got something

really groovy for her.

He's with Tina!

How could you be so blas?

What were you trying to prove?

They mean nothing to me.

No one matters but you.

Hold me.

Just hold me.

Come with me tonight.

Stop!

No, Mamuwalde!

Please don't hurt him!

Gordon, are you all right?

Hold it, mister!

You met him.

Who is he?

God only knows.

He calls himself "Mamuwalde."

- Where does he hang out?

- Hang out?

In a coffin

around here somewhere.

- Hi, babe.

- Hi.

- How is Tina?

- I don't know.

I tried to get her

to lie down, but...

Tina, you should still be resting.

I will. What happened?

- We heard shots.

- He killed a cop.

- He killed him?

- He killed him, and he got away.

You should rest.

What do we do now?

Now we wait.

The only thing for sure

is that he has to return to his coffin...

before daylight.

- Danny, take a look at that fag.

- Yeah, I'm lookin'.

- Isn't that the one?

- Sure looks like the one.

How can you tell?

They all look alike.

Hello?

Just a minute. Jack?

Where?

Tell them to keep a bead

on them but hold back.

They found Bobby.

He's picked up a friend.

- Oh, my God.

- Keep Tina here no matter what.

We'll leave some men

to watch the place.

Let's go.

That guy with him is in trouble.

- Keep this with you.

- Okay.

The subject is heading east on 5th.

Get a grid over that area. Maybe we

can figure out where they're going.

They're gone, lieutenant.

We lost them in an alley.

Don't... repeat, don't...

follow on foot.

We'll take over from here.

Right, lieutenant.

Name every building

in that sector.

Go through it street by street.

We've pinpointed that sector.

Buildings are as follows...

Jacob Iron Foundry...

This will never work.

We got no choice.

We gotta keep going.

Alameda and 3rd...

Direct Wholesale Clothing,

Torrs Cement,

Andrew Brothers Warehouse,

- Municipal...

- That's it! The warehouse.

That's where it started,

where they found McCoy and Schaffer.

Barnes, where the hell

have you been? Come on!

What the hell is that?

Lieutenant!

Watch it!

Watch it!

Johnson!

It won't do any good!

It's too late!

Get ready to throw these things.

Now!

Peters, throw it!

Throw it!

Good evening, gentlemen.

I say, were you looking for me?

I should have told you this evening

that I decided to move my coffin,

but, then, it was you

who gave me the idea.

Is that what

you got planned for Tina?

You know nothing of that!

Tina's life means more to me

than my own.

Does it?

I could dispense

with you now, doctor,

but... I have a rather urgent

appointment elsewhere.

My God.

You've got no choice!

Whether you want

to face it or not,

that man...

if you can give him that...

has killed innocent people.

I know.

Just like that..."I know"?

This isn't some nut

from a Halloween party!

That man is the real thing.

What do you want me

to do about it?

- You gotta help us.

- I can't.

What do you mean, "I can't"?

Anybody could be next...

Gordon or me.

Is that what you want?

No.

We have to stop him.

It's the only decision possible.

Say you're with us.

Look, I gotta cut out

and help Peters.

If he comes

for you tonight, we're ready.

These streets

will be packed with police.

There's no other way, Tina, okay?

Okay, the whole block

is sealed off.

You people will have to

get off the streets.

Go to your homes.

Please go to your homes.

These streets

need to be kept clear.

We must have your cooperation.

Please clear the street.

Go to your homes.

There's nothing happening here,

nothing to get excited about.

Now, please go to your homes.

Please cooperate

by clearing the streets.

If we don't get your cooperation,

we'll have to declare a curfew.

Now, please leave the streets

and return...

Where?

Tell me where.

Please clear the streets

and return to your homes.

Please cooperate

by leaving the streets

and returning to your homes.

Please cooperate

with the police officers.

A bat!

A giant bat!

It's him.

Gordon, she's gone.

Attention, all units,

this is Lieutenant Peters.

All units, Lieutenant Peters.

Do not apprehend the girl.

Just survey and watch for suspect.

This is Unit 603.

We are proceeding east

on Florence.

No sign of subject.

Isn't that her?

Drive on by.

Unit 3, Baker 92.

It looks like her. She's entering

Underground Chemical Plant #2

at 6th and Church.

Let's go.

What is it?

What's going on?

You two take that side.

Come on.

- Where is he?

- Down there, sir.

If you find him,

don't try to take him.

Back off and yell

for me or Dr. Thomas.

- Keep your eyes open for his coffin.

- Let's go.

Help me... please.

Don't die, Tina.

My Luva.

I cannot lose you again.

Forgive me.

Now this is the only way.

You will be with me... always.

Dr. Thomas!

You and your dear friends are dead.

Not one man

shall escape my vengeance!

Not one man

shall leave here alive!

Search out every shadow,

every corner...

This will be

your inglorious tomb!

Your tomb!

We got him!

He's up here. Quick!

Over here!

Stay here.
