Underworld

---

The war had all but ground to a halt

in the blink of an eye.

Lucian, the most feared and ruthless

leader ever to rule the lycan clan...

...had finally been killed.

The lycan horde

scattered to the wind...

...in a single evening

of flame and retribution.

Victory, it seemed, was in our grasp...

...the very birthright of the vampires.

Nearly six centuries had passed

since that night.

Yet the ancient feud proved unwilling

to follow lucian to the grave.

Though lycans were

fewer in number...

...the war itself had become

more perilous.

For the moon no longer

held her sway.

Older, more powerful lycans

were now able to change at will.

The weapons had evolved,

but our orders remained the same:

Hunt them down and kill them off,

one by one.

A most successful campaign.

Perhaps too successful.

For those like me, a death dealer...

...this signaled the end of an era.

Like the weapons

of the previous century...

...we, too, would become obsolete.

Pity, because i lived for it.

Bloods!

It's all right. It's all right.

You're gonna be okay.

You're acting like a pack

of rabid dogs!

And that, gentlemen...

...simply will not do.

Not if you expect to defeat

the vampires on their own ground.

Not if you expect to survive at all.

Pierce! Taylor!

Put some clothes on, will you?

We have a serious problem.

I'll have to run a few tests.

It's definitely an irradiated fluid

of some sort.

Ultraviolet ammunition.

Daylight, harnessed as a weapon.

You expect me to believe

that a mangy animal...

...came up with a bullet specifically

engineered to kill vampires?

No, i'm betting it's military.

Something they stole.

Some sort of high-tech tracer round.

I don't care where

they got these things.

Rigel is dead, and nathaniel

could still be out there.

Let's gather the death dealers

and go back.

Absolutely not. Not now.

Not for a random incursion.

The awakening is a few days off,

and this house is in unrest as it is.

Random? They opened fire on us

in full view of the public.

- And from what i heard in that tunnel...

- you said you didn't see anything.

I know what i heard,

and i know what my gut tells me.

There could be dozens

of lycans down there.

Who knows, maybe more. Hundreds.

We've hunted them

to the brink of extinction.

Kraven's right, selene.

There's not been a den

of that magnitude for centuries.

- Not since the days of lucian.

- I know that, kahn.

But i'd rather you prove me wrong

by checking it out.

Have your men tighten things up.

I'll have soren assemble

a search team.

- No, i want to lead the team myself.

- Absolutely not! Soren will handle it.

Hundreds, really?

Viktor would believe me.

- I'd never treat you like that.

- Of course not.

Now run along and make sure she's

dressed and ready for her guests.

- It's a waste of time, you know.

- What is?

I doubt viktor would want you freezing

in here, staring at his tomb for hours.

No, he'd want the death dealers out

there, scouring every inch of the city.

Kraven. I'll never understand

why viktor left him in charge.

He's a bureaucrat, not a warrior.

We need to get you ready.

- For what?

- The party.

Amelia's envoy will be here

any minute.

Oh, yes.

You should definitely wear this one.

It's perfect.

They were after you.

He's attractive...

...for a human.

- Who's attractive?

I planned to have you

at my side this evening.

Take erika.

She's dying to be at your side.

If you ask me, you take this warrior

business far too seriously.

You can't undo the past,

no matter how many you kill.

And besides...

...what's the point

in being immortal...

...if you deny yourself

life's simple pleasures?

Do you see this human?

- What of him?

- I'm beginning to think the lycans...

blast!

Put on something elegant

and be quick about it.

Kraven, i'm serious.

I think they were following him.

Other than food,

why would lycans stalk a human?

Any progress?

Let's find out.

Negative.

You heading home?

Yeah, nicholas gave me

a couple hours off.

By the way...

...he said you did a terrific job

tonight with the surgery.

Yeah.

Take it easy.

We were ambushed.

Death dealers, three of them.

- And the candidate?

- We lost him.

You lost him?

Look at this mess.

Ag rounds. High content.

Prevented him from

making the change.

No use in digging out the rest.

Silver's penetrated his organs.

Regeneration's impossible

at this point.

Let's take these out.

Relax.

The vampires didn't realize

you were following a human...

...did they, raze?

- No.

I mean, i don't think so.

- You don't think, or you don't know?

- I'm not sure.

Negative.

I really must have a look

at this michael.

Must i do everything myself?

Our noble houses may be

separated by a great ocean...

...but we are equally committed

to the survival of the bloodlines.

And when amelia arrives

to awaken marcus...

...in just two days' time...

...we shall once again

be united as a single coven!

We want to thank our hosts

for their generous hospitality.

He comes in, he does his job

and then he goes home.

Other than that,

i don't know what to tell you.

Interns work around the clock.

We don't have much of a life.

You know where we can find him?

No.

You can try him at home,

or you'll have to wait till he gets back.

He's not in some kind

of trouble, is he?

This is michael. I'm not in right now.

Please leave a message.

Michael, it's adam. The police were

just in the hospital looking for you.

They were convinced you were

involved with a shootout.

I told them there's no way

you'd be involved with that...

...but they're looking for you.

Right now.

Why are they after you?

Sh*t!

Hello, michael.

What the f*** is going on?

Stop the car.

Stop the car!

Back off!

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

But you've lost a lot of blood.

If you don't stop the car,

you'll get us both killed.

- I'm not screwing around!

- Neither am i!

Shut up and hold on.

I'll be fine.

Sh*t!

A second escape. Impressive.

Perhaps raze wasn't

overstating matters.

Raze didn't bring back this.

If michael is indeed the carrier,

the vampires could...

relax, old friend.

I've tasted his flesh.

Just two days till full moon.

Soon, he will be a lycan.

Soon, he will come looking for us.

It's a shame we don't have more.

Positive.

Lay still. Your skull's

taken a good knock.

You've been unconscious

for a while.

Do you have any idea

why those men were after you?

Where am i?

You're safe.

I'm selene.

So, for once, the rumors were true.

The whole house has been absolutely

buzzing about your new pet.

- Are you going to try to turn him?

- Of course not.

So why did you bring him here?

He saved my life.

- Why are you here?

- Kraven sent me.

He wants to see you. Now.

This is completely unacceptable!

You go against my orders and spend

the night away from the mansion...

...with a human? A human you've

since brought back to my house.

As far as i'm concerned,

this is still viktor's house.
