Priest

I do not know, feels like a grave.

Their queen is here.

And we have our orders.

It's a trap.

This is what is known.

There has always been man.

And there have always been vampires.

Since the beginning, the two

have been locked in conflict.

The vampire was the

hunter and stronger.

But the man had the sun.

It was not enough.

And so it went like this

over many years.

The two races destroying

not only each other ...

but the world itself.

Faced against extinction,

mankind has ...

retreated behind the walls of cities

under the protection of the Church.

And then the ultimate weapon

was found, the priests.

Warriors with the extraordinary powers, trained

by the Chrch at the art of vampire combat.

They alone turned the tide to man.

The remaining vampires

were placed in reservations.

And fearing of the power of the

weapon they created ...

the ruling clerics ordered

the priests to disband.

Former warriors integrated into

a society that no longer needed them.

And as the years passed,

the few surviving preasts ...

faded into obscurity ...

like the vampire

mass before them.

Priest.

Residual readiation is still spotted.

The contamination is close to zero.

With a little luck, we can

finally start planting.

I am proud of you, Owen.

Great, we'll eat stewed leaks.

- Atoning for your sins?

- No, why?

Wearing the nicest dress, where else

would you be except the church?

I was in town.

I think that at least someone should

have a life outside this place.

I said I didn't want you to

spend so much time out there.

- I'm old enough to go where I want.

- 18 is not old enough, out here.

I know it's hard but we all

have to make sacrifices.

Sacrifices ?!

Living here like a prisoner ?!

Without friends, no fun ?!

Just that someday you could grow

something in these godforsaken lands?

Enough!

Hold hands and say grace.

Dear Lord, thank you for

the food we are about to recieve...

Daddy?

- Owen? - Tear down below!

- What's going on ?!

Hurry child!

Hurry!

Whatever you hear, don't scream.

Stand behind me!

Shannon!

CHURCH CITY:
SECTOR 12

God protects you, the

Church protects you.

The city protects you.

Absolution of sin, is the only way.

Absolution of sin, is the only way.

Remember, be against the Church,

means to go against God.

Cabin no confession. 5, is free.

Move forward.

Initiate confessional sequence.

To use, say, speak at the time.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.

- Yes, my son?

- I had the dream again.

On War. Tell me more.

We were in the hives, like always.

Eastbound, and I wasn't strong enough.

Tell me more.

I have questions, doubts.

The Devil comes in many shapes.

The best way to combat him,

through personel sacrifice ...

and labor.

Yes Father.

Now say three Hail Mary's

and four Our Father's.

And remember, to go against the

Church, means to go against God.

Stop pointing fingers.

To tatoo.

Did it hurt?

- Why can't I talk?

- You can't talk to priests.

- Who are you?

- Name's Hicks, on the Sheriff from Augustine.

- What do you want?

- There was a vamp attack.

to Lucy. Your brother is hurt bad.

He told me where to find you.

And Shannon?

Lucy talked about you.

Said you were here during the war.

Said when killing vampires

you were the best.

I'm going after her,

I'm gonna get her back.

Just thought that to let you know

in case you wanted to come along.

Figure out I could use

like you by my side.

OK.

Thank you for meeting me in

such short notice Monsignors.

Monsignor Chamberlain

has informed us of the situation.

- Your family is in our prayers.

- Thank you.

I come before you because I want

my authority reinsated.

On what grounds?

- This was a vampire attack.

- Vampires?

Nonsense, we've had no reports of

any escapes from the reservations.

This is obviously the work of bandits.

- Monsignor, boy was clear.

- "The boy" was mistaken.

There is no vampire manace, the wastelands

are haevens for lawless and ...

as a priest you would not except

a thing like this ridiculous and futile.

It is best left to local authorities.

Monsignor Orelas, this man

has been a great service to the Church.

Were it not for the priest

we would have been overrun...

We are all aware of his accomplishments

Monsignor Chamberlain.

Thank you, can you sit down.

I'm begging you.

- Allow me to find them.

- You have to understand something priest.

Sanctity of these walls is absolute.

The citizens from the cities have complete faith

in the Church's ability to keep them safe.

- You will not shake that faith.

- How can that faith be when it's a lie?

Questioning the authority of the

clergy is absolutelt forbidden.

If you take any action

to leave the cities ...

it will be seem as an act of

agression against the Church.

You will be stripped from the order and

excommunicated. Did I make myself clear?

I said, do I make myself clear father?

Yes Monsignor.

Try to remember your vow. To go against

Church is to go against God.

Come on now. Don't be shy.

Give us a kiss.

That's no way to treat a friend.

Please, let me go...

You are here for your own protection.

If you go out you shall be

taken apart, piece by piece.

My uncle is a priest, he'll come after me.

Really?

- What makes you so sure?

- He'll come after me.

He'll come after you!

Well that's something

I'm absolutely counting on.

The judgement is final. I'm sorry.

I sacrificed everything that's worldly.

- And they won't listen to me.

- The war is long gone.

You and the other priests

have done their jobs.

It's not over, not for me.

You can't break your

covenant on a small ...

group of savages would be sacrilige.

I have to.

That's what I was afraid of.

If you go out now, you risk

sturring things up again.

You have to look at the bigger picture,

it's for the greater good.

- Is it the same world that I fought for?

- No.

But it's the only one we have left.

I'm begging you, don't do anything foolish.

Remember your vow, to go against

the Church is to go against God.

Then I go against God.

God help us.

Dear Father, forgive me.

It was never my intention

to offend you.

I'd like to firmly resolve

with the help of your grace ...

no more mistakes, and

avoid the occasions of sin.

But I can't.

Looting is not such a good idea mister.

Well I'll be damned.

Vampires are a vicious lie!

I saw a vampire bite off a man in half.

Salvation is right here, in my very hands.

- Authenticated of the clergy themself...

- Wait me for a moment.

And keep more loved ones

safe one more night...

I'm tired of you comin' around here,

scaring people with more superstition.

The show is over, it's time for you to go.

Give me one good reason why I should.

It's one, two ...

OK, OK, OK !!

Goddamn son of a b*tch!

All listen up!

The stuff is good for nothin' ...

but lies for that man's pockets

for your hard earned cash!

You don't know that. You're just a kid.

We gotta do somethin' to keep us safe.

Move out of the way !!
