Give me your arm before

l take the whole thing.

You think those people are bad?

Well, let me tell you something.

The real monster you don't want

knocking down your door is me.

lf l scream...

...we'll both be dead.

Daxus doesn't know

you can speak, does he?

What do you know

about what's going on?

There's a war going on

to the death...

...between humans

and Hemophages.

And, Six, you're a human.

And l'm a Hemophage.

Wait.

Listen, do you remember l said...

...there was something in

your blood that could save my life?

Well, Daxus, he put something

into your blood.

He grew something there.

And whatever that is,

those antigens...

...they may hold the key

to saving my life...

...but they were put there

first and foremost to kill me.

To kill me and everyone like me.

So these men...?

Yeah, Six.

They're after you.

Right now, you're the most

valuable object on this planet.

Unbelievable, V.

You jeopardize

everything by coming here.

The humans want me.

Nerva wants me.

l don't have any place

left to go, Garth.

Besides...

...you have all my guns.

So, what's his story?

You tell me.

Can you make an assessment?

l'll need to draw some blood.

lt'll take a few hours.

Sweeper Team A,

inform Archminister Daxus...

...we have the remaining Hemophages

cornered on the 2 1 st floor.

-They're right behind me.

-The lights.

Go night-vision. Take them apart.

Switching to emergency

backup lighting system.

So...

...are you going to kill me?

Think you can?

l think you and l have matters

of mutual self-interest to discuss.

Sit down.

Humans are celebrating something.

Where is this?

When l was a kid...

...when l was just a little girl...

...l used to dream

about this old, dusty road.

And this road would go on

as far as the eye could see.

There was all these little white flowers

growing around the edges.

And it was such a peaceful place.

lt was a happy place.

But then you realize...

...when life settles in around you...

...places like this don't exist.

You're dying.

Yeah.

l am.

l'm sorry.

Do you read Thaihindi?

All right. Look.

''Comrade.''

''Lover.''

''Wife.''

And this one....

This one was

gonna say ''mother''...

...but l got sick...

...and all that

became impossible.

You're not looking so good.

l need to transfuse you.

Just be thankful you didn't convert

with light sensitivity too.

You do this?

-What is it?

-l'm not sure.

lt looks chemical...

...but it seems to be done in the

pre-collapse form of Western notation.

lt was probably him.

What is he?

l know what he's not.

He's not someone who has

a single molecule...

...of vampiral antigen in his blood.

That's what he's not.

He's not someone

who's any good to us.

We can't reverse-engineer

a cure out of his blood.

-What?

-lf that's not bad enough, the kid's hot.

Practically radioactive.

He's got a tracking device in him

that's accurate to about 1 00 meters.

We're shielded in here.

l don't understand.

Why would Nerva

want me to get him so badly?

And why were the humans

guarding him so closely?

l don't know.

But whatever they did put in the kid,

Violet, it's killing him.

Some kind of aggressive,

antagonistic protein.

Very predictable decay.

He's got a shelf life

of about eight hours.

The kid's toast, V.

Why are you doing this?

He's just a child.

lt's a human child, Garth.

And besides, what you're doing here

is too valuable to jeopardize.

Goodbye, Garth.

You've got a tracking device in you.

We've got to get moving

before it locks on. Come on.

Daxus. My phone number changes

every 60 seconds.

Disposable phone printing.

Thank you.

Garth, it's me.

They've been tracking my phone.

You better get moving.

-Okay.

-Violet.

Maybe it's me.

Come on.

Violet, wait.

What are we doing?

l would be neglecting my duties...

...if l didn't get a growing boy fed,

wouldn't l?

Credit card. All right,

so you take this over there...

...and see if you can't find us

something to eat.

Go on.

Six.

You should really...

...put your mask up.

Goodbye, Violet.

-lt's urgent.

-Response team moving out.

Alpha Squad, Alpha Squad.

Alpha Squad, we have visual.

What am I doing?

lt's not him.

-Secure lockdown.

-Initiate area-quarantine procedures.

Six.

Wait.

Six!

Sorry, V.

Violet Song jat Shariff.

What are you thinking?

We're not Blood Chinois.

We're as fast as you.

We're as strong as you.

Yeah.

But...

...are you one-tenth

as pissed off as l am?

Careful, V.

Gunfire will attract

the human security teams.

You might win the battle,

but you'd lose the war, V.

V, wait.

Don't you realize

what this child has in him?

l don't care

what this child has in him.

lt's not a vampiral antigen,

but a human antigen.

Lethal enough to kill

every human on the planet.

Why would humans create

a human antigen?

What do l, or even you, care why?

Daxus has offered us

a most tempting proposal.

One that would finally

even the odds for us.

So just walk away, V.

Walk away.

Are you insane?

You won't drop him.

You need him more than l do.

End her.

What did they put in me, Violet?

Don't you see?

That mechanism Daxus,

your father, put inside you...

...it's an antagonistic protein.

lt's very precise.

And it's gonna shut you down, Six.

lt's gonna kill you, Six.

lf l don't find some way....

lf l don't find some....

l just need some time.

l just need....

-Hello, Violet.

-3-D me.

This is a surprise.

l want you to take out

whatever you put in the kid.

Oh, l wish that was possible,

but there is no cure for the antigen.

-l don't believe you.

-Just bring him to me.

The antigen dies with the boy...

...and neither of them are

any good to anybody.

You said you were his father,

for God's sake.

No, Violet.

l don't have a father.

No, more precisely...

...he's my clone.

Number six in a series of eight.

What the hell difference does it make?

He's a child, you monster.

Monster?

And what are you?

And more importantly,

what does that make him to you?

Some sort of bizarre,

maternal surrogate?

A vampire and a dying human child.

What a pathetic picture.

l'll make you another, Violet.

One that's not broken.

You won't even be able

to tell the difference. l promise.

And l may even be able to help you

with that problem in your own blood.

-Trace.

-Why track the call?

l'll tell you where l am.

l want you to bring me the boy.

l'll bring you a lot more than that,

you prick.

l have 700 soldiers here with me.

What do you really think

you could do against that many men?

l can kill them.

Archministry.

Let's go meet your maker.

Auto-guide on.

You can't make it in.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Haven't you been paying attention?

Killing is what l do.

lt's what l'm good at.

l am a titan.

A monolith.

Nothing can stop me.

l can see it.

What the hell choice do l have?

A very clear one.

To watch me die.

Or make me...

...watch you do the same.

-Are you mental?

-The antidote.
