Blade: Trinity Page #11

An EXPLOSION rocks the interrogation room, filling the

corridor with smoke, knocking Cumberland and Hale back.

King turns his attention to Blade's handcuffs, FIRING between

them, freeing Blade's hands. Blade collapses against the

wall. He's shaking, close to passing out.

KING:

Don't die on me, you undead motherf***er!

King drags Blade up. They continue down the corridor to --

ABIGAIL, THE FEMALE VAMPIRE HUNTER

we met earlier. She's engaged in hand-to-hand combat with a

half-dozen UNIFORMED OFFICERS. Three of them are already

down. In seconds, she finishes off the other three.

KING:

Whistler! We need that serum NOW!

Whistler? Abigail spins, dispatching the last officer with a

kick to the mid-section while tossing a PNEUMATIC INJECTOR at

King. He snatches it, places it in Blade's hands.

Blade injects himself in the neck. Moments later, he's

reenergized. He looks to King, clear-eyed.

KING:

Hey Blacula, you ready to shake and bake?

Blade responds by PUNCHING King across the jaw.

BLADE:

Call me that again and I'll give you

f***ing brain damage.

King massages his jaw, tossing Blade a pistol even as --

--Grimwood rounds the corner, hungry for blood, TWO MORE

VAMPIRE ORDERLIES behind him.

Blade FIRES round after round of EXPLOSIVE BULLETS, causing

Grimwood and the others to fall back. Blade and King move,

joining Abigail. MORE SMOKE, darkness, only the emergency

lights to illuminate the station.

UP AHEAD,

a group of POLICEMEN spill from a stairwell, armed with bullet

proof vests. They OPEN FIRE --

Blade, King, and Abigail retreat into an alcove. They're

pinned down between the vampires and a group of policemen.

KING:

We're pinned down!

(to Blade)

Can't you do something?!

BLADE:

I can't shoot around corners!

ABIGAIL:

I can.

As King and Blade lay down COVER FIRE, Abigail reaches behind

her, withdrawing a device that's been secured there. She

gives it a SNAP and it springs open, taking the shape of a --

FUTURISTIC COMPOUND BOW

Crafted from aluminum, its limbs imbedded in key positions

with vibration-dampening modules, this bow is capable of

firing an arrow upwards of 300 feet-per-second.

Abigail withdraws a SILVER ARROW with a time-delay explosive

tip from her quiver, nocks it in her bow and takes aim at --

A FIRE EXTINGUISHER

mounted at the end of the corridor. She lets her arrow fly --

MOVING WITH THE ARROW

as it banks off the side of the fire extinguisher, continuing

down the side corridor where it embeds itself in --

-- the shoulder of one of the vampires! The vampire SCREAMS,

grabbing the shaft, ripping it out. Then we --

MACRO-ZOOM ON THE ARROW HEAD

A tiny "egg-timer" dial on the arrowhead spins. It CLICKS in

place, a RED LED comes on, and --

--the arrowhead EXPLODES, catching all three vampires with

the full force of a UV BLAST. Grimwood ducks away from the

blast as the other two vampires ASH --

BLADE, KING, AND ABIGAIL

come racing out of the alcove. They reach a stairwell. Blade

RIPS a steel door clear off its hinges, tossing it down the

stairwell at a phalanx of COP REINFORCEMENTS who are charging

up the stairs. The cops go down like ten-pins.

Blade and company have an opening. But as they charge

downward --

BLADE:

(as King and Abigail

freeze)

My sword. They still have it.

KING:

(apoplectic)

Are you insane?! We're practically home

free! We can't go hunting for your

f***ing butter-knife now!

But Blade is already heading back the way they came and --

KING:

Hey! HEY!!! COME BACK HERE!!! This is

supposed to be a rescue!

-- Abigail grabs King's shoulder, pulling him to the stairs.

ABIGAIL:

Forget it, King. Let's move.

POLICE STATION - NIGHT

King and Abigail rush outside. The station is gated. FLASHING

POLICE CARS are surging through the mouth of the gate.

They're trapped. Then --

CRASH!

A window on the third floor of the station EXPLODES OUTWARD.

Blade drops three stories, landing before King and Abigail in

a cat-like crouch. With his sword in his hand. He looks at

King, grins, flips him off.

BLADE:

Now we can go.

KING:

(nudging Abigail)

Is he epic or what?

The police close in around them, pinning the trio down with

FIREPOWER. Yet King and Abigail seem unconcerned because --

HEADLIGHTS:

are washing over them. A beefed-up, 70s Land Cruiser is

SCREAMING up the street. The Cruiser jumps onto the sidewalk,

SMASHES right through the gated wall. SCREECHES to a stop

between our trio and the police cars.

A DRIVER (DEX)

leans out his window, gives a little wave as the rear doors

pop open. Gruff and compact, he looks like a prize-fighter.

DEX:

My name is Dex. And I'll be saving your

ass this evening.

Blade, King, and Abigail scramble into the back of the Land

Cruiser. Dex reverses, backing out the way he came.

The police from the squad cars are FIRING, but the Land

Cruiser is armored and the bullets harmlessly SPARK off.
