Blade: Trinity Page #10

Vance pokes the needle of the syringe into the ampule.

VANCE:

-- I think we'll kick it up to a couple

thousand.

Vance reaches for Blade's arm. Blade struggles, tries to pull

back, but Vance manages to inject him nonetheless.

VANCE:

There. That wasn't so bad, was it?

(smiling)

You're weak, aren't you? In need of your

serum. Who would've guessed a mere human

like myself could overpower you?

BLADE:

(realizing)

You're with them -- a familiar --

VANCE:

Going on five years now.

Vance extends his arm, pulling back his shirt cuff a little to

reveal a VAMPIRE GLYPH tattooed on the underside of his wrist.

Then he pulls his cuff back down, smiles at Blade.

VANCE:

It's the end-game, Blade. All their plans

are finally coming to fruition. So just

sit back and enjoy the show.

Blade looks to the one-way mirror, SCREAMS.

BLADE:

He's one of them! Damnit, he's working

for them!

Vance looks to the one-way mirror as well and shrugs as if to

say -- "The man's deranged. What can I do?"

INT. POLICE STATION - OBSERVATION ROOM - NIGHT

On the other side of the glass, Blade looks like a raging

lunatic. Vance enters. He extends his hand to Vreede.

They shake. As they do so, we SEE a vampire GLYPH on the

inside of Vreede's wrist as well. Another familiar.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT

Blade stares at his own reflection in the mirror. He blinks,

trying to focus -- but the drug is starting to kick in.

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - NIGHT

An elevator door opens. Asher, Danica, and Grimwood exit,

followed by the orderlies who are now wheeling the gurney. As

they move down the corridor, they pass --

-- Cumberland and Hale, who are chasing down Chief Vreede.

CUMBERLAND:

Just hold it right there --

Danica shoves Cumberland aside, hard, keeps moving past him.

Cumberland looks to Hale. Something isn't right about this.

INT. POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT

Blade struggles, in the full throes of the drug now.

BLADE'S POV

His vision is blurring, various objects in the room leaving

trails as he shifts his head from side to side and --

ASHER, DANICA, AND GRIMWOOD

enter, followed by two of the orderlies. Despite his

incapacitation, Blade attempts to rise. Danica plants her

heel in his chest, shoving him back down.

DANICA:

Easy, lover. You're not going anywhere.

She draws closer, enjoying herself.

DANICA:

We moved the humans around like, pawns,

Blade. Used them to flush you out.

Blade tries to LUNGE from his chair at her and -- WHACK!

Grimwood punches Blade across the jaw. A brutal blow.

GRIMWOOD:

Don't worry, Captain Sunshine. Soon as we

get you out of here, you'll get a chance

to play.

Danica motions to the two vampire orderlies. They step

forward with the straight-jacket, start to put it on Blade.

Blade THRASHES madly. Asher LAUGHS, enjoying this.

DANICA:

Don't make this any harder than it has to

be. You're all alone, Blade. No one can

help you now.

BA-BOOM! The one-way mirror SHATTERS, exploding outward in a

shower of SLOW-MOTION GLASS FRAGMENTS, carrying with it --

-- a BODY, one of the vampire mental health flunkies --

ASHING in mid-air as he sails into the room! Seconds later --

A MAN:

VAULTS through the blown-out window, simultaneously drawing

two high-tech electronic pistols.

Meet HANNIBAL KING (30s), an audacious vampire hunter with an

irrepressible grin. Slapped to his chest is a "Hello, my name

is" sticker with the words "F*** YOU" written where the name

should be.

KING:

Why'd the Polish vampire starve to death?

Danica spins, enraged, recognizing King instantly --

KING:

He kept biting his own lip.

DANICA:

King!

The lights go out. Immediately, backup lights come on,

followed by FIRE ALARMS. In the ensuing confusion ~ both

pistols at Asher, who drops, allowing one of the vampire

orderlies behind him to take the hit.

THE VAMPIRE ORDERLY ASHES

But unlike Blade's victims, he disintegrates from the inside

out. (The reason is King's signature bullets -- SUN DOGS,

explosive rounds that give off concentrated UV light.)

King whips around, FIRING at --

-- Danica, who LEAPS behind the table. She quickly upends it,

using it as a shield, FLINGING it at King.

ON BLADE:

He shifts his weight, throwing himself and the chair he's

sitting on to the floor. Then he KICKS OUT AND UP --

-- connecting with Grimwood's mid-section, sending him FLYING

BACKWARDS -- straight through the wall into the next room!

King holsters one of his pistols and hauls Blade up. At the

same time, he FIRES on Asher again, missing him --

KING:

Let's FLY, kemosabe!

King drags Blade to the door --

INT. POLICE STATION - HALLWAY - NIGHT

-- into the neighboring corridor. Cumberland and Hale SEE

them. They reach for their weapons --

CUMBERLAND:

He's getting away!

King FIRES into the room behind him, then pulls a GRENADE

secured to a bandolier and tosses it through the doorway --
