Priest Page #2

Synopsis: PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world -- one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

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 !!

I don't anyone for being scared.

The vampires are gone and

they're not coming back.

You have to excuse the attention.

Strangers are not here often.

Is it true what they say about priests?

To be the hand of God?

How is he?

He's in rest.

Claire took the boys...

A return of an old man.

After the war was over ...

Shannon figured you'll come back.

I wanted to.

But I can't see right and wrong.

I couldn't save her.

I tried, but I've never had your gift.

You gave her a life that

I have more I could not.

He'll always be greatful for her.

You know there ain't one day

she didn't forget about you.

You'll find Lucy, and bring her home safe.

And you promise me something brother.

Kill 'em all.

Most people out there know that the clergy

thinks of us as Godless people.

And that's how we like it. It means that

they'll keep their noses out of our business.

As you can imagine how surprised I was when

they concacted me asking if I'd seen you.

Saying that anyone going after Lucy

is to be arrested immediately.

Said she's in God's hands now.

Problem is, we both now outside
