Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Page #6

Synopsis: At the age of 9, Abraham Lincoln witnesses his mother being killed by a vampire, Jack Barts. Some 10 years later, he unsuccessfully tries to eliminate Barts but in the process makes the acquaintance of Henry Sturgess who teaches him how to fight and what is required to kill a vampire. The quid pro quo is that Abe will kill only those vampires that Henry directs him to. Abe relocates to Springfield where he gets a job as a store clerk while he studies the law and kills vampires by night. He also meets and eventually marries the pretty Mary Todd. Many years later as President of the United States, he comes to realize that vampires are fighting with the Confederate forces. As a result he mounts his own campaign to defeat them.

The cause of freedom.

The very cause upon which

our founding fathers built

this great nation.

A voice like that is too strong

to be stuck keeping shop.

I am actually studying

to be a lawyer.

Ah. Well, Mr. Lincoln, maybe it's

time you thought about politics.

I can connect you

with the right people.

Thank you, Senator Nolan.

A pleasure young man. The same.

You're on your way, Mr. Lincoln.

I sent you to Springfield

to hunt vampires,

not to chase votes.

Lesson one, always have

a contingency plan.

If vampire hunting doesn't pan out,

I need a career to fall back on.

I am being serious.

So am I, Henry.

I have done everything

you have asked of me.

Every letter, every name,

but never the letter I wait for,

and never the name I want most.

When do I get to kill Jack Barts?

Barts knows about Mary.

It's time.

Abraham,

be careful.

Abraham-f***ing-Linc...

Oh. Missed again.

I hope you're better with an

axe than you were with a gun.

Come on, Lincoln.

Catch me before I get to Mary.

Catch me if you can, boy.

There's thousands of us here.

He won't stop until this

whole country is ours.

And they will be coming for you now.

Ask your friend, Henry.

You shut your mouth,

you stupid whore.

Give me what I need, or

I will knock your teeth out.

You lying son of a b*tch.

God damn it.

No, Abe, stop.

You weren't ready to know.

What, that you are a vampire?

You are not the only one

who has lost everything to vampires.

Just because the carriage stops,

doesn't mean we have to.

Get in the carriage.

Take this.

Run. Just run.

Henry.

Her soul was pure.

But yours, Henry...

It's one of God's little tricks.

Vampires cannot kill their own kind.

Only the living can kill the dead.

Welcome to the family.

You can't save the world,

and the ones you love, Lincoln.

You need to make a choice.

I am sorry,

but goodbye.

Abe.

Mary.

What on earth are you doing?

Come on in.

What are you hiding? Nothing.

Abe?

It's nothing.

Abe, I know when you're lying.

What are you hiding from me?

All right.

I didn't want to tell you this way.

This is....

....not the way that I planned it.

But if you really must know,

Mary Todd,

will you make me the happiest of men?

And do you, Abraham,

promise to love her, comfort her,

be honorable and honest

with her in all things,

in sickness and health,

till death do you part?

I do.

Then by the power vested

in me by almighty God,

in the great state of illinois,

I now pronounce you

man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Your mother would be so proud.

Thank you, Will.

I am happy you could be here.

You're the only family I have.

Except for this one.

Congratulations.
