Priest Page #4

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.

- ... fear no evil.

- Your words mean nothing to them priest.

For Thou are with me.

Focus!

- Should we go after them?

- No need, they'll die at first light.

No more masters, just you and me.

Tell me where they took the girl.

- West, they took her west.

- Why?

You have no idea what's coming priest.

The familiar said they

travel west from here.

- Solar wall.

- A hive?

- One of the largest.

- But I thought all the hives were destroyed at the war.

They were.

That's why we need to go look.

There are more than 50

crips in this reservation.

But only 6 vampires left. The weak.

They left behind.

We find the missing one, we find Lucy.

I may not have seen the war ...

but I know the look a man gets

when he likes killing.

It comes easy to you.

I just can't.

Lucy's got nothing to do with it.

Give me your gun.

- What?

- Give me your gun.

Vampires are not like humans.

Their body weight pulls them

in concentrated patterns.

You need to anticipate their

trajectory to make a kill shot.

- Are you teaching me to shoot?

- I'm teaching you how to kill vampires.

There are always 2 points. A and B.

Know 'em both, you'll kill a vampire.

A man came aboard.

Says he got something for you.

You told me to come.

I have information, but I...

Before I tell you, I

hate to bring you this.

There is this small little

matter of compensation.

You want, it'll be real good for business.

So I'm more willing to cut you a deal.

Can you smell the blood

running through you veins?

Smells like dinner.

OK. Allright.

Once you have grabbed that girl, a couple

of nights later, a priest showed up.

- Priest?

- And he was with this Sheriff.

Real hard case, he run me out of town

before I could make a single sell.

- You've done well.

- Thank you.

There's you compensation.

Put him to work.

I came here when I was little.

Stared all his stuff.

He wondered what it used to be.

After a while, it just makes my eyes ache.

Did Owen know about you and Lucy?

No, no.

She wanted to tell him, but...

Owen wasn't the easiest man to talk to.

Besides, he was so focused on his work

that he didn't care of things.

Do you love her?

If she's infected ...

I'll kill her.

You'll try ...

but you won't be able to.

I wasn't there to protect her once,

I won't make the same mistake again.

- Feels like a grave.

- It's a trap.

This is a waste of time,

there's nothing there.

Stay here, if anything comes up

that isn't me, shoot it.

Great.

- What are you doing here?

- The Clergy sent me. Ordered me to bring you back.

They sent four of us to track you.

We split up at Nightshade.

I really hoped they didn't have you.

The others went up to Jericho.

I didn't believe when they
