Wander off
the beaten path, Doctor?

Who are you people?

My name's
Abraham Whistler.
You've met Blade.

So, am I
a prisoner here?

Not at all.

We just had to take
certain precautions
before we let you go.

You got to understand,
they are everywhere.
Vampires
the Hominus Nocturna.
We hunt them, you see
moving from one city
to the next
tracking
their migrations.
They are hard to kill.
They tend to regenerate.

And I'm supposed
to believe all this?

Well, you already met
Mr. Crispy at the hospital.
What do you think?

So, what do you use, then?
Stakes? Crosses?

Crosses don't do squat.
Some of the legends
are true, though.
Vampires are severely
allergic to silver.
Feed them garlic,
and they go into
anaphylactic shock.
Then, of course,
there's always sunlight,
ultraviolet rays.
I got this sucker
running.
You want to give it
a try tonight?

It's still heavy.

Well, you're so big.

If you want to live
to see another day,
you'll be out of town
by nightfall.

So where am I
supposed to go?

You've been exposed to them.
One way or another, somebody's
going to take you out.

There is a war going on
out there.
Blade, myself,
a few others,
we've tried to keep it
from spilling over
onto the streets.
Sometimes,
people like yourself
get caught
in the crossfire.

I have blood samples.
I can go to the police.

They own the police.
You have to understand,
they are everywhere.
Chances are you've
seen them yourself
and didn't know it
on the subway
or in a bar.

So that's it?
You guys just patch me up
and send me on my way?

Here.
Vampire mace ...
silver nitrate,
essence of garlic.
You keep your eyes open.
Be careful.
