Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat Page #5

---

Yes.

And it's taken me years

to finally trace you here,

to finally fulfill my family's destiny,

to finally...

to finally kill and destroy the...

That's enough.

Sarah, it's time to go.

Everybody is looney tunes around here.

Okay.

Are you ready to die, Count?

You Van Helsings never learn, do you?

Sandy.

What are you doing?

He came here this morning.

He was asking about you.

I kept with him to keep an eye on him,

to see what he was...

to see what he wanted.

But please don't hurt him.

He doesn't mean anything.

He's just confused.

I think perhaps you stayed with him

for other reasons than my safety, no?

Ladies and gentlemen,

what we have here is a vampire

in love with a human.

Better integration than

I could possibly have dreamed.

Count... Count Mardulak?

Will somebody call him

by his real... name?

Excuse me a second.

I really think we ought to be going.

The plant is working perfectly.

I'm a big-city type of guy

and it's just been a pleasure meeting you.

Bye, Count.

It's been a pleasure.

Move as fast as you can.

- We will.

- We will, thank you.

- Come on, Gwen.

- Bye.

What if they talk?

Do you really think

they believed a word of it?

But this one, on the other hand,

what can we do with him?

You'll have to kill me

before I stop hunting you down

like a filthy fanged fi...

I hear they're letting Mort back tomorrow.

That's good. That's good.

Sounds like trouble.

Better warn Mardulak.

In the heart. I told you.

In the heart!

What the hell are you doing, Jefferson?

Mardulak will...

Move out!

Town full of crazies.

They're not crazies, Daddy,

they're vampires.

Juliet, I don't think your father's

in the mood right now.

- Are we going home, Daddy?

- Yes.

Come on. Come on.

Oh, my goodness.

Quick, follow me.

Anna, quick.

Alice.

Alice, wake up.

Let's go see what's going on.

Alice, smile for me.

- What?

- Smile.

- Go like this.

- No!

While you were sleeping,

I didn't have a choice.

It was either that or kill you.

It's not such a bad life...

death, whatever you want to call it.

What am I going to tell my mother?

- I can't go in public with these things.

- Don't worry.

They only show when you're hungry

or overemotional.

Overemotional?

Keep your mind on one thing, Shane.

Time enough for that later.

Take your children.

Try and make it back to Mardulak.

This is all some sick joke, right?

If you value your life, go now.

- But we...

- David!

Stop being so stubborn.

Let's go!

Go! Go!

We're here to set you free.

Free, do you hear me?

This is the only place

you've been free, Jefferson.

You call this freedom?

Just leave us alone.

The plant works now.

Yeah, get out of here.

You've got two choices.

Join us... or die.

Don't make me laugh.

You're the only one with any strength.

There's too many of us.

I could take every one of those punks.

All right, you bottle-suckers,

are you with us or not?

Jefferson's right.

This ain't no life for a vampire.

I'm with you, Jefferson.

Bailey, what are you doing?

We've worked too hard for this.

Nigel, shut up.

Bailey, think about your friends, okay?

Let go of me, Nigel.

The man's talking sense.

- You'd know it if you just listen.

- He's talking dumb.

Take your arm off me

or I'm gonna tear it off of you

and shove it down your throat.

Bailey, please, just listen to some sense.

Come on, ain't nobody else coming with me?

Or are you all a bunch of wimps

like this little candy-assed

artificial bloodsucker?

Don't push it.

What are you gonna do about it?

Anyone else?

Enough.

Guns?

What kind of bullets can kill vampires?

Wooden ones.

Charge!

Sh*t!

Quick, into the plant!

No.

At last.

Come on! Get up!

Give me a gun! I want a gun!

I'll kill every one of them!

Grab anything wooden.

Mort, find Mardulak.

Our only chance

is to get hold of those guns.

Welcome to the other side.

It has begun.

Shall we break out the crossbows, master?

Yes.

If it's war he wants...

then it's war he'll get.

- Jefferson!

- Good.

That means there'll only

be punks around the back.

Pierre, Pucci, and a few of us

will try and hold him off.

Ramon, go get some firepower.

You bet.

Move, move, move!

Hand over your guns, punks.

It's been nice knowing you.

Get them!

Rico, duck.

Where's the girl?

I don't see the girl!

Forget her, Shane.

I've done my part.

James, get down!

Great. No way out.

Do something!

What? I'm not a young man anymore.

Neat trick, old man.

They came back here.

Easy.

They out there?

Damn! They got away.

Back to the horses.

Come on!

Have they gone yet?

Quiet.

- You okay, David?

- Yeah.

You son of a b*tch.

Looking a little sweaty, Dave.

Come on, David.

You've always been a wimp.

All I want is Sarah and my daughter.

Daughter?

What's he mean, Mom?

David!

Shane, let him go!

Put the girls in the car.

Run! Get in the car, girls. Hurry!

I never did like you, Shane.

Why, Ethan?

Your pitiful fear of God.

We are special.

We are hunters.

We kill.

We feed on humans.

Like a hundred other parasites.

Like tapeworms. Like fleas.

Like fungus.

That's how special vampires are.

Jefferson...

I have a barrel pointed

straight at your ugly heart.

Tell your pathetic followers

to drop their weapons.

Now!

Do as he says.

Put them down.

Take their ammo.

Come on.

- Hurry, hurry!

- Give me that.

Take that ammo.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go!

Come on, Jones!

Hurry up. Come on!

You feel like going for a ride?

- What?

- Come on, come on!

Go on. Hurry.

- Hold on.

- There you go.

- Hang on tight, Julie.

- Move it.

Move!

After them!

Hurry! Run!

Okay. Wait, wait.

All right, the secret

passageway in the library.

- You remember where it is?

- Yes, Mommy.

- All right, do you remember how to get in?

- Spin the globe.

I want you to go in there

and I want you to find a place to hide.

Don't let anyone see you. Go!

Go! Run! Hurry, run!

Sarah!

Juliet!

Daddy's here.

I know you're here somewhere.

It's only a matter of time.

David! Where are you going?

David, get back!

David!

Let me out!

I've got to get across.

It's too late.

Shane!

Come on back.

I know a way.

Here, take this.

You wanna play rough, eh?

You said there was another way over.

Mardulak, I'm going to take David

through the passageway.

We've got to stay together.

That's his wife over there.

You've been a vampire too long.

- All right!

- David.

It's holy water.

You may need it.

Come on then.

You can't go with just

a human for protection.

Dan, look after them!

Cover us!

Go!

Isn't it wonderful how the world works

in its mysterious ways?

Whatever will be, will be.

About a year ago, I'm sitting

at home when the phone rings.

It's David.

David, of all a**holes.

Some sucker's gone

and bought his process.

But he can't go and build it.

He's on another job.

So he asks me...

You were in class together.

You used to be friends.

You're the only other person

who knew anything about that process.

Yeah, he used to bore me
