Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Page #5

ravishing resourcefulness.

Mr. Lincoln, you have no idea.

You will have no friends, no family.

I, uh, should be going. It's late.

How could I bring

her into this world?

A world of demons, of danger

Good night, then, Lincoln.

Good night, Mary.

Happy hunting.

If I truly cared for her,

the kindest thing I could do

was walk away.

This..... hunter is another

of Henry's disciples?

They say he's a madman.

I can't wait to meet him.

A stock boy, reading a law book.

What? You studying to be a lawyer?

As a matter of fact, I am.

All right, what about a little test?

What's the law for free

slaves in the North?

According to the Fugitive

Slave Act of 1793,

enforcing Article four, section two,

of the United States Constitution,

"All runaway slaves must be

returned to their owners."

However, personal liberty

laws state that

"Anyone who is born free"

"cannot be taken under this act."

I heard a good woman once say

"Until all men are free,"

"we're all slaves."

Will?

Will Johnson.

How did you...?

I was back home

and heard you moved here.

Studying to be a lawyer.

That's good.

I am in need of a good lawyer.

What, are you in

some kind of trouble?

I was freeing slaves down

South on the rail road,

hoping to find my brother down there.

Some bounty hunters got after me.

Said I was a runaway.

I need a writ, Abe,

saying I was born free.

You know, Will...

Come on.

Hey.

Speed, this is Will Johnson.

Will Johnson, my oldest

friend in the world.

The store isn't

going to run itself, Abe.

I will have him back as soon

as possible, Mr. Speed.

I promise.

You're getting tall, Abe.

Look like you still don't eat

much, either.

You still afraid of the dark, too?

Not so much any more.

That's him, Abe.

That's the guy

that's been chasing me.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen,

I am sure we can work this out.

Now I suggest you walk away, son.

No, sir, I suggest you do.

I have sent word to Senator Nolan.

He will have you out soon.

You're far too kind, Miss Todd.

And he's far too ugly

to have a woman like you.

I think common-looking people

are the best in the world.

That's why the Lord

makes so many of them.

I just thank God he was there.

But I won't always be there.

Mary,

what if something was going

on, something terrible,

and you knew that there was no way

on earth that one man could stop it?

What would you do?

Well,

I wouldn't back away from what's

right just because it's hard.

My father used to say,

"Plant your feet and stand firm."

"The only question is

where to put your feet."

We may fail in this fight.

We may only shatter the

tranquil veil of oppression,

but we must not be deterred.

For ours is a just and noble cause.
