1. History prefers legends to men.Copy !req
2. It prefers nobility to brutality.Copy !req
3. Soaring speeches to quiet deeds.Copy !req
4. History remembers the battle
and forgets the blood.Copy !req
5. Whatever history remembers of me,
if it remembers anything at all...Copy !req
6. it shall only be
a fraction of the truth.Copy !req
7. For whatever else I am,
a husband, a lawyer...Copy !req
8. a president...Copy !req
9. I shall always think of myself
as a man who struggled against darkness.Copy !req
10. I leave in your trusted hands,
my dear friend Henry...Copy !req
11. this record that begins
when I was just a boy.Copy !req
12. Get on down there. Hurry it up!Copy !req
13. Please, sir, no.
There's been some kind of mistake.Copy !req
14. I ain't no slave.Copy !req
15. Let them go! Aaron!Copy !req
16. Go back inside!Copy !req
17. Let them go!Copy !req
18. Will!Copy !req
19. - Quiet!
- He's my friend!Copy !req
20. Look away, Abraham.Copy !req
21. It's not our place.Copy !req
22. Look away.Copy !req
23. Abraham!Copy !req
24. Thomas, help them!Copy !req
25. Leave him alone!Copy !req
26. Are you all right?Copy !req
27. Did you strike my friend here?Copy !req
28. He was beating my son!Copy !req
29. Did you strike him, Lincoln?Copy !req
30. They're not slaves, and you know it.Copy !req
31. I suggest you get back to your workCopy !req
32. before you find yourself
led away in chains.Copy !req
33. Until every man is free,
we are all slaves.Copy !req
34. Very well, then.Copy !req
35. Since you're all
so concerned with freedom...Copy !req
36. you may consider yourself free
from the burden of my employ.Copy !req
37. And the debt you've been working off...Copy !req
38. I'd like it paid in full with interest.Copy !req
39. Now, please.Copy !req
40. If you get one more penny
from me, Mr. Barts...Copy !req
41. it will come with a fist
wrapped around it.Copy !req
42. All right, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
43. There are other ways to collect a debt.Copy !req
44. No!Copy !req
45. What's happening to her, Father?Copy !req
46. Please help her!
Please, I beg of you.Copy !req
47. You've got to do something, Father.Copy !req
48. Easy, child.Copy !req
49. Look away, Abraham.Copy !req
50. I've never seen anything like this.Copy !req
51. Strange.Copy !req
52. You promise me.Copy !req
53. Let's step outside.Copy !req
54. I'm sorry, I don't know what ails her.Copy !req
55. Abraham.Copy !req
56. Come and lie next to me.Copy !req
57. I've been writing, Mama.Copy !req
58. "Days are swift as an Indian arrow...Copy !req
59. "flying like a shooting star.Copy !req
60. "The present day is here...Copy !req
61. "and then slides away in haste...Copy !req
62. "that we can never say is ours...Copy !req
63. "but only say...Copy !req
64. "is passed."Copy !req
65. Mother?Copy !req
66. Mother?Copy !req
67. Mama once told me that
I hadn't cried when I was born.Copy !req
68. That I'd simply opened my eyes...Copy !req
69. looked at her smiling face...
and smiled back.Copy !req
70. My light was gone.Copy !req
71. - I don't know how he did it—
- Abraham...Copy !req
72. you promise me...Copy !req
73. You promise me you won't go
and do anything foolish.Copy !req
74. Nine years later,
my father joined her in death.Copy !req
75. No longer bound by my promise...Copy !req
76. I tried to fortify the nerve
to pursue my vengeance.Copy !req
77. Haven't you had enough?Copy !req
78. A boy only gets this drunk when
he wants to kiss a girl...Copy !req
79. or kill a man.Copy !req
80. Adam, let me explain.Copy !req
81. Last one, Barts.Copy !req
82. I'm not coming up here to clean up
your messes anymore.Copy !req
83. Yes, sir. I promise.Copy !req
84. Every so often, I think about what
it would be like to be in the South.Copy !req
85. So, where's Henry?Copy !req
86. Yes, sir.
We've been looking all over, sir.Copy !req
87. Searching high and low.Copy !req
88. Low is more likely.Copy !req
89. Just find him, Barts.Copy !req
90. Oh, and send a fresh crop south.Copy !req
91. We have a lot of mouths to feed.Copy !req
92. Yes, sir.Copy !req
93. "Yes, sir, no, sir.
High, sir, low, sir."Copy !req
94. For my mother.Copy !req
95. That was unlucky.Copy !req
96. Might have put me out of my misery.Copy !req
97. Where the hell are you running to?Copy !req
98. Don't much like chasing chickens.Copy !req
99. Little boy, all grown up.Copy !req
100. Come to avenge his dear momma.Copy !req
101. There are two kinds of men, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
102. Those that have the guts
to pull the trigger...Copy !req
103. and those who do not.Copy !req
104. Powder, patch, ball.Copy !req
105. Don't mess it up.Copy !req
106. You weren't asleep that night.Copy !req
107. Were you?Copy !req
108. You dropped the ball, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
109. Your mama's blood was sickening sweet.Copy !req
110. I hope yours tastes better!Copy !req
111. Might I suggest that we begin by...Copy !req
112. closing the door?Copy !req
113. Yeah, I'm sorry.Copy !req
114. I didn't see anything!Copy !req
115. Should we dive right in?Copy !req
116. Or are you finding Gabrielle's
egress too distracting?Copy !req
117. I'm sorry, sir, but who are you?Copy !req
118. Who I am is Henry Sturges.Copy !req
119. And where you are is my home.Copy !req
120. And what happened...Copy !req
121. I saved your life...Copy !req
122. during your rather pathetic attempt
at taking another's.Copy !req
123. What were you doing there, and...Copy !req
124. how did you know
I would try to kill Barts?Copy !req
125. How?Copy !req
126. I watched this boy carry out
his first long-awaited mission.Copy !req
127. Drunk, might I add.Copy !req
128. And I think, "You have wasted
your time watching this one, Henry.Copy !req
129. "He's not a promising recruit.Copy !req
130. "He is just a selfish boy
with his heart set on vengeance."Copy !req
131. And I realized,
"This boy is a goddamned idiot!"Copy !req
132. "I doubt he even knew
his target was a vampire."Copy !req
133. A vampire?Copy !req
134. Yes. Immortal, blood-sucking demons.Copy !req
135. Fortunately for you, Mr. Lincoln...Copy !req
136. hunting them is something of a hobby.Copy !req
137. But vampires are just myths.Copy !req
138. Myths don't beat you senselessCopy !req
139. after you've put
a bullet in their brain.Copy !req
140. Thank you.Copy !req
141. No, Mr. Lincoln,
vampires are real.Copy !req
142. They exist in every city
and every state...Copy !req
143. in the Union.Copy !req
144. If what you say is true,
you could help me kill him.Copy !req
145. I could pay you to kill him!Copy !req
146. My services are not for sale.Copy !req
147. And the word you are looking for
is "destroy."Copy !req
148. It is quite a feat to kill that
which is already dead.Copy !req
149. But you don't understand.Copy !req
150. My mother was murdered.Copy !req
151. And if I teach you how
to murder her murderer...Copy !req
152. so what?Copy !req
153. How will that honor her memory?Copy !req
154. How will that benefit the next boy
whose mother is taken?Copy !req
155. If vengeance is all you seek...Copy !req
156. seek it elsewhere.Copy !req
157. Teach me to fight as you do.
Please, I'll do anything you say.Copy !req
158. You promise to cast aside
all notions of vengeance...Copy !req
159. and commit to the life of a hunter?Copy !req
160. You will have no friends...Copy !req
161. no family.Copy !req
162. I told him what he wanted to hear...Copy !req
163. but all I cared about was
killing the monster that took my mother.Copy !req
164. I'm in.Copy !req
165. Scottish Highland pistol.Copy !req
166. And if one barrel isn't enough...Copy !req
167. seven should do you.Copy !req
168. The blunderbuss.Copy !req
169. And if you lose your ball...Copy !req
170. you can always stuff your pocket watch
down the end of it.Copy !req
171. So, Abe...Copy !req
172. which one takes your fancy?Copy !req
173. Actually, I haven't had
the best of luck with shooting irons.Copy !req
174. But...Copy !req
175. I was a rail splitter.Copy !req
176. I would like you to chop this tree down
with a single swing.Copy !req
177. That tree?Copy !req
178. It's got to be more than a foot across.
That's impossible.Copy !req
179. But it isn't a tree.Copy !req
180. It's what you hate most in the world.Copy !req
181. So, tell me, Mr. Lincoln...Copy !req
182. what do you hate?Copy !req
183. I hate Jack Barts.Copy !req
184. Then strike him down.Copy !req
185. Well, clearly you don't
hate him that much.Copy !req
186. Tell me what you hate.Copy !req
187. I hate that my mother was taken away.Copy !req
188. Inadequate.Copy !req
189. I hate that we were afraid.Copy !req
190. And?Copy !req
191. That my mother and father,
everyone that we knew...Copy !req
192. lived in fear.Copy !req
193. Pathetic.Copy !req
194. I hate that I was too small.Copy !req
195. - Too weak.
- Yes.Copy !req
196. - And that you failed...
- Yes!Copy !req
197. - ... to protect her.
- Yes!Copy !req
198. And that you let her die.Copy !req
199. Power, Lincoln...Copy !req
200. real power...Copy !req
201. comes not from hate,
but from truth.Copy !req
202. Before you protect others
from darkness...Copy !req
203. you must first be able
to protect yourself.Copy !req
204. Your enemies have the power
to render themselves invisible.Copy !req
205. You must have the ability
to fight blind.Copy !req
206. To see, without seeing.Copy !req
207. Again.Copy !req
208. In the weeks that followed...Copy !req
209. Henry endeavored to impart a lifetime
of vampire-hunting secrets.Copy !req
210. Their ability to adapt to sunlight.Copy !req
211. Their power to render
themselves invisible.Copy !req
212. But most of all,
he taught me how to destroy them.Copy !req
213. When Judas betrayed Jesus...Copy !req
214. his reward was 30 pieces of silver.Copy !req
215. At that moment, those pieces
became a symbol of betraying God.Copy !req
216. Of evil.Copy !req
217. And silver became a curse...Copy !req
218. upon the cursed.Copy !req
219. You will never see a vampire
with silver on his person.Copy !req
220. Nor see them reflected in mirrors.Copy !req
221. The one thing God placed
beyond the reach of a vampire.Copy !req
222. The one thing he can never possess.Copy !req
223. Barts...Copy !req
224. And the only thing that
renders him powerless.Copy !req
225. Henry, Jack Barts!Copy !req
226. I give you the targets.
That was our deal.Copy !req
227. This is not only
about Jack Barts.Copy !req
228. Vadoma, a ruthless enforcer.Copy !req
229. And her brother.Copy !req
230. I've seen him before.Copy !req
231. I saw him with Jack Barts.Copy !req
232. They call him Adam.Copy !req
233. He, from whom all others are made.Copy !req
234. Vampires have been in
the New World for centuries.Copy !req
235. Slaughtering native tribes
and early settlers.Copy !req
236. But when the Europeans
arrived with their slaves...Copy !req
237. the dead saw a sinister opportunity.Copy !req
238. They built an empire in the South.Copy !req
239. But, in recent years,
they pressed north...Copy !req
240. leaving death in their wake.Copy !req
241. It falls to us, Abraham...Copy !req
242. the hunters,
to keep the balance.Copy !req
243. To ensure that this remains
a nation of men...Copy !req
244. and not monsters.Copy !req
245. What we do,
we do not for one man...Copy !req
246. but for the good of all mankind.Copy !req
247. Henry sent me off into
the world with a reminder.Copy !req
248. No attachments.
No distractions.Copy !req
249. No friends or family.Copy !req
250. Besides, who could I trust?Copy !req
251. Anyone in this well-mannered city
might very well be one of them.Copy !req
252. Son of a bitch!Copy !req
253. I ever see you here again,
I will have your balls as a coin purse!Copy !req
254. Good afternoon, sir.
Joshua Speed at your service.Copy !req
255. Abraham... Lincoln.Copy !req
256. I need a bit of help.Copy !req
257. All right.Copy !req
258. Well, a friend in need,
is a friend of Speed.Copy !req
259. What can I get for you?Copy !req
260. I don't suppose you know
of any rooms for rent, Mr. Speed?Copy !req
261. What sort of room are
you looking for, Mr. Lincoln?Copy !req
262. Well, a cheap one...Copy !req
263. as I have spent all of my money
on law booksCopy !req
264. and have none to spare at the moment.Copy !req
265. Now, as you say you have none,
am I to take your meaning as "cheap"...Copy !req
266. or "free of charge"?Copy !req
267. Well, on credit.Copy !req
268. I don't think you'll find
such a room in Springfield.Copy !req
269. People here are strangely
accustomed to being compensated.Copy !req
270. Good day.Copy !req
271. There is one room, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
272. I was recently forced to part ways
with a thieving prick of an associate...Copy !req
273. and am, therefore,
in need of a replacement.Copy !req
274. There's a room upstairs.Copy !req
275. It isn't much, but I suppose
it could be had on credit...Copy !req
276. if the tenant were willing
to work here in return.Copy !req
277. Dear Henry...Copy !req
278. life in Springfield is
less than desirous.Copy !req
279. Fear not.Copy !req
280. My pittance of a salary doesn't allow me
to deviate from your rules...Copy !req
281. No friends, no family.Copy !req
282. And certainly, no woman would find me,
and my existence, enticing.Copy !req
283. Excuse me.Copy !req
284. Excuse me,
I'll be needing these.Copy !req
285. Just one second, ma'am.Copy !req
286. Well, you needn't call me ma'am,
as if I'm some haggard spinster...Copy !req
287. I'm sorry, ma'am.Copy !req
288. Madam... I mean, miss.Copy !req
289. I'm Abraham... Lincoln.Copy !req
290. Mary Todd.Copy !req
291. Darling.Copy !req
292. There you are.Copy !req
293. You mustn't flit from
store to store so quickly.Copy !req
294. Well, perhaps if you didn't stop to jaw
with every gentleman in Springfield...Copy !req
295. I could say the same for you.Copy !req
296. Stephen Douglas.
How do you do?Copy !req
297. Abraham... Lincoln.Copy !req
298. Are you a voting man, Mr. Lincoln?Copy !req
299. I...Copy !req
300. How do you feel about
keeping slavery out of Illinois?Copy !req
301. I'm running for the legislature.Copy !req
302. I'm sure he'd love to hear
your campaign speech...Copy !req
303. but Mr. Lincoln was just about
to attend to my list.Copy !req
304. We were talking, dear.Copy !req
305. Slavery, it's a complicated issue.Copy !req
306. I couldn't disagree with you more,
Mr. Douglas.Copy !req
307. Mr. Douglas, Miss Todd.Copy !req
308. You have met my new associate, Abraham.Copy !req
309. A letter came for you.Copy !req
310. Dear Abe.Copy !req
311. Your prescription awaits you
at the local pharmacy.Copy !req
312. Ask for Aaron Stibel, Junior.Copy !req
313. Mr. Lincoln?Copy !req
314. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
315. Good day of work, Abraham.Copy !req
316. Thank you.Copy !req
317. But don't forget...Copy !req
318. always have a contingency plan.Copy !req
319. Aaron Stibel Junior?Copy !req
320. Yes?Copy !req
321. That's it. Oh, that's tight.Copy !req
322. Don't worry.
It will only hurt for a second or two.Copy !req
323. Did you eat today?Copy !req
324. I had killed a monster.Copy !req
325. And I would kill again.Copy !req
326. But no amount of death
could make me forget.Copy !req
327. Merciful Christ, Lincoln,
what happened to your face?Copy !req
328. Don't worry, I'll still be able to work.Copy !req
329. Work?Copy !req
330. To hell with work.Copy !req
331. We got invited to a ball.Copy !req
332. It could be your chance to save
Mary Todd from a life of boredom.Copy !req
333. This suit makes me look ridiculous.Copy !req
334. Nonsense.Copy !req
335. But that hat makes you look ridiculous.
Come on.Copy !req
336. Come on, come on.
Look, there she is.Copy !req
337. Mr. Douglas, Joshua Speed.Copy !req
338. Pleasure to see you.
Mary, you look lovely.Copy !req
339. He's still missing.Copy !req
340. Who's that?Copy !req
341. Aaron Stibel.Copy !req
342. Junior or Senior?Copy !req
343. Junior.Copy !req
344. - Who is that man?
- I don't know.Copy !req
345. Mr. Douglas, you know Senator Nolan,
of course.Copy !req
346. Yes, Stephen. Good to see you.Copy !req
347. Have you heard this news?Copy !req
348. Yes, we're looking into it.Copy !req
349. Rest assured,
this kind of lawlessness...Copy !req
350. won't stand
in the noble state of Illinois.Copy !req
351. It's called a dance.Copy !req
352. If we were meant to sit alone,
they would've called it something else.Copy !req
353. Yes, I suppose they would have.Copy !req
354. Come, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
355. You'll ruin the upholstery
if you sit there any longer.Copy !req
356. I'm sure you're a very nice man,
Mr. Lincoln...Copy !req
357. but you're a...Copy !req
358. A shopkeeper, in a borrowed suit.Copy !req
359. No, it's not a matter of means.
Really, no.Copy !req
360. I came to Springfield
looking for someone different.Copy !req
361. Someone whose life
was a bit more adventurous, and well...Copy !req
362. My apologies, I'm never this—Copy !req
363. Honest?Copy !req
364. Rude.Copy !req
365. Miss Todd, may I speak candidly?Copy !req
366. I, too, came here to better myself.Copy !req
367. That's why I've taken an interest
in the law...Copy !req
368. and why, if I may be so bold,
I have taken an interest in you.Copy !req
369. And as for the adventure
that you seek...Copy !req
370. I suspect that few men
could ever hope to provide that for you.Copy !req
371. Least of all your fiancГ©,
Stephen Douglas.Copy !req
372. Mr. Lincoln, you are full of surprises.Copy !req
373. Miss Todd, you have no idea.Copy !req
374. Dear Abraham.Copy !req
375. I've made a deposit at the local bank.Copy !req
376. Be careful, it can quickly disappear.Copy !req
377. Henry, there are more
than I ever thought possible.Copy !req
378. Pharmacists, innkeepers, pastors.Copy !req
379. It's more than a man can bear.Copy !req
380. Well, I see I'm
such interesting company.Copy !req
381. I'm sorry.Copy !req
382. I've been working nights.Copy !req
383. Really? Is that true?Copy !req
384. Do you really want
to know the truth, Mary?Copy !req
385. Each and every night...Copy !req
386. I go out...Copy !req
387. hunting vampires.Copy !req
388. Well, how do you hunt these vampires?Copy !req
389. With an axe.Copy !req
390. A special silver axe, of course.Copy !req
391. Of course.Copy !req
392. And how many would
you reckon you've killed?Copy !req
393. Five. No... six.Copy !req
394. I have killed six vampires.Copy !req
395. My goodness!Copy !req
396. Abe!Copy !req
397. Here I thought you were an honest man.
Really!Copy !req
398. Well, I had a wonderful day, Abe.Copy !req
399. As did I, Mary.Copy !req
400. Miss Todd, you are a woman
of ravishing resourcefulness.Copy !req
401. Mr. Lincoln, you have no idea.Copy !req
402. You will have no friends, no family.Copy !req
403. I... should be going. It's late.Copy !req
404. How could I bring her into this world?Copy !req
405. A world of demons, of danger.Copy !req
406. Good night, then, Lincoln.Copy !req
407. Good night, Mary.Copy !req
408. Happy hunting.Copy !req
409. If I truly cared for her...Copy !req
410. the kindest thing I could do...Copy !req
411. was walk away.Copy !req
412. This hunter
is another of Henry's disciples?Copy !req
413. They say he's a madman.Copy !req
414. I can't wait to meet him.Copy !req
415. A stock boy, reading a law book.Copy !req
416. What?
You studying to be a lawyer?Copy !req
417. As a matter of fact, I am.Copy !req
418. All right, what about a little test?Copy !req
419. What's the law for free slaves
in the North?Copy !req
420. According to the
Fugitive Slave Act of 1793...Copy !req
421. enforcing Article four, section two,
of the United States Constitution...Copy !req
422. "All runaway slaves must
be returned to their owners."Copy !req
423. However,
personal liberty laws state that...Copy !req
424. "Anyone who is born free...Copy !req
425. "cannot be taken under this act."Copy !req
426. I heard a good woman once say...Copy !req
427. "Until all men are free...Copy !req
428. "we're all slaves."Copy !req
429. Will?Copy !req
430. Will Johnson!Copy !req
431. How did you...?Copy !req
432. I was back home...Copy !req
433. and heard you moved here.Copy !req
434. Studying to be a lawyer.Copy !req
435. That's good.
I'm in need of a good lawyer.Copy !req
436. What, are you in some kind of trouble?Copy !req
437. I was freeing slaves down South
on the railroad...Copy !req
438. hoping to find my brother down there.Copy !req
439. Some bounty hunters got after me.Copy !req
440. Said I was a runaway.Copy !req
441. I need a writ, Abe...Copy !req
442. saying I was born free.Copy !req
443. You know, Will...Copy !req
444. Come on.Copy !req
445. Hey.Copy !req
446. Speed, this is Will Johnson.Copy !req
447. Will Johnson,
my oldest friend in the world.Copy !req
448. The store isn't
going to run itself, Abe.Copy !req
449. I'll have him back
as soon as possible, Mr. Speed.Copy !req
450. I promise.Copy !req
451. You're getting tall, Abe.Copy !req
452. Look like you still
don't eat much, either.Copy !req
453. You still afraid of the dark, too?Copy !req
454. Not so much anymore.Copy !req
455. That's him, Abe.Copy !req
456. That's the guy that's been chasing me.Copy !req
457. Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen...Copy !req
458. I'm sure we can work this out.Copy !req
459. Now I suggest you walk away, son.Copy !req
460. No, sir, I suggest you do.Copy !req
461. I've sent word to Senator Nolan.Copy !req
462. He'll have you out soon.Copy !req
463. You're far too kind, Miss Todd.Copy !req
464. And he's far too ugly
to have a woman like you.Copy !req
465. I think common-looking people
are the best in the world.Copy !req
466. That's why the Lord
makes so many of them.Copy !req
467. I just thank God he was there.Copy !req
468. But I won't always be there.Copy !req
469. Mary...Copy !req
470. what if something was going on,
something terrible...Copy !req
471. and you knew that there was no way
on earth that one man could stop it?Copy !req
472. What would you do?Copy !req
473. Well...Copy !req
474. I wouldn't back away from what's right
just because it's hard.Copy !req
475. My father used to say,
"Plant your feet and stand firm.Copy !req
476. "The only question is
where to put your feet."Copy !req
477. We may fail in this fight.Copy !req
478. We may only shatter
the tranquil veil of oppression...Copy !req
479. but we must not be deterred!Copy !req
480. For ours is a just and noble cause.Copy !req
481. The cause of freedom.Copy !req
482. The very cause upon which
our founding fathers built...Copy !req
483. this great nation!Copy !req
484. A voice like that is too strong
to be stuck keeping shop.Copy !req
485. I'm actually studying to be a lawyer.Copy !req
486. Well, Mr. Lincoln, maybe it's time
you thought about politics.Copy !req
487. I can connect you with the right people.Copy !req
488. Thank you, Senator Nolan.Copy !req
489. - A pleasure young man.
- The same.Copy !req
490. You're on your way, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
491. I sent you to Springfield
to hunt vampires...Copy !req
492. not to chase votes.Copy !req
493. Lesson one,
always have a contingency plan.Copy !req
494. If vampire hunting doesn't pan out...Copy !req
495. I need a career to fall back on.Copy !req
496. I'm being serious.Copy !req
497. So am I, Henry.Copy !req
498. I have done everything
you've asked of me.Copy !req
499. Every letter, every name...Copy !req
500. but never the letter I wait for,
and never the name I want most.Copy !req
501. When do I get to kill Jack Barts?Copy !req
502. Barts knows about Mary.Copy !req
503. It's time.Copy !req
504. Abraham...Copy !req
505. Be careful.Copy !req
506. Abraham-fucking-Linc—Copy !req
507. Missed again!Copy !req
508. I hope you're better with an axe
than you were with a gun.Copy !req
509. Come on, Lincoln!Copy !req
510. Catch me before I get to Mary.Copy !req
511. Catch me if you can, boy!Copy !req
512. There's thousands of us here.Copy !req
513. He won't stop until
this whole country is ours.Copy !req
514. And they be coming for you now.Copy !req
515. Ask your friend, Henry.Copy !req
516. You shut your mouth, you stupid whore.Copy !req
517. Give me what I need,
or I'll knock your teeth out.Copy !req
518. You lying son of a bitch.Copy !req
519. God damn it!Copy !req
520. No, Abe, stop!Copy !req
521. You weren't ready to know.Copy !req
522. What, that you are a vampire?Copy !req
523. You are not the only one...Copy !req
524. who has lost everything to vampires.Copy !req
525. Just because the carriage stops...Copy !req
526. doesn't mean we have to.Copy !req
527. Get in the carriage.Copy !req
528. Take this.Copy !req
529. Run. Just run.Copy !req
530. Henry!Copy !req
531. Her soul was pure.Copy !req
532. But yours, Henry...Copy !req
533. It's one of God's little tricks.Copy !req
534. Vampires cannot kill their own kind.Copy !req
535. Only the living can kill the dead.Copy !req
536. Welcome to the family.Copy !req
537. You can't save the world,
and the ones you love, Lincoln.Copy !req
538. You need to make a choice.Copy !req
539. I'm sorry...Copy !req
540. but goodbye.Copy !req
541. Abe!Copy !req
542. Mary!Copy !req
543. What on earth are you doing?Copy !req
544. Come on in.Copy !req
545. - What are you hiding?
- Nothing.Copy !req
546. Abe?Copy !req
547. It's nothing.Copy !req
548. Abe, I know when you're lying.Copy !req
549. What are you hiding from me?Copy !req
550. All right.Copy !req
551. I didn't want to tell you this way.
This is not the way that I planned it.Copy !req
552. But if you really must know...Copy !req
553. Mary Todd...Copy !req
554. will you make me the happiest of men?Copy !req
555. And do you, Abraham...Copy !req
556. promise to love her,
comfort her...Copy !req
557. be honorable and honest
with her in all things...Copy !req
558. in sickness and health...Copy !req
559. till death do you part?Copy !req
560. I do.Copy !req
561. Then by the power vested
in me by almighty God...Copy !req
562. in the great state of Illinois...Copy !req
563. I now pronounce you...Copy !req
564. man and wife.Copy !req
565. You may kiss the bride.Copy !req
566. Your mother would be so proud.Copy !req
567. Thank you, Will.Copy !req
568. I'm happy you could be here.Copy !req
569. You're the only family I have.Copy !req
570. Except for this one.Copy !req
571. Congratulations.Copy !req
572. May I introduce Mr. Henry Sturges.Copy !req
573. My wife, Mary.Copy !req
574. And my dear friend, Will Johnson.Copy !req
575. Heavens, Mr. Sturges,
you're as chilly as the winter wind.Copy !req
576. Henry, please.Copy !req
577. I'm afraid that's a hazard
of carrying one's own bottle.Copy !req
578. Well, you know what they say,
"Cold hands, warm heart."Copy !req
579. Yes, but I highly doubt that.Copy !req
580. Mr. Sturges is a business associate.Copy !req
581. Yes, I thought we
could talk a little business.Copy !req
582. Of course.Copy !req
583. If you'll excuse me.Copy !req
584. What the hell are you doing here?Copy !req
585. Be cautious, Abraham.Copy !req
586. One forgets how easily we can lose
the most precious things.Copy !req
587. They don't even know who I am.Copy !req
588. Go upriver.Copy !req
589. Invite this Mr. Lincoln
to join us at the plantation.Copy !req
590. We're going to throw a ball
in his honor.Copy !req
591. What makes you think he'll accept?Copy !req
592. I think we can find a way to tempt him.Copy !req
593. It's a good book. It's good.Copy !req
594. Get him!Copy !req
595. Abe.Copy !req
596. We've got a problem.Copy !req
597. They took Will.Copy !req
598. What are you going to do?Copy !req
599. I'm going to accept his invitation.Copy !req
600. Speed deserved to know the truth
of what we were about to face.Copy !req
601. I told him everything.Copy !req
602. Not knowing if he would believe me
or think me mad.Copy !req
603. Not knowing if he would have the courage
to face the monsters...Copy !req
604. that I had come to know.Copy !req
605. You and me, Abraham,
together we can accomplish anything.Copy !req
606. There are no slaves.
Where are they?Copy !req
607. I was just wondering that.Copy !req
608. Something isn't right about this, Abe.Copy !req
609. Yeah.Copy !req
610. I don't know how to dance.Copy !req
611. Don't worry, I'll teach you.Copy !req
612. Wait here.Copy !req
613. Ladies and gentlemen...Copy !req
614. dinner is served.Copy !req
615. Bravo, Mr. Lincoln.Copy !req
616. Bravo.
You're even better than I'd heard.Copy !req
617. A shame to sacrifice
so many of my best men...Copy !req
618. but I needed to know
if you're up to the task.Copy !req
619. What do you want with me?Copy !req
620. To see you liberated.Copy !req
621. To see you rise up
and destroy your oppressor.Copy !req
622. That's interesting advice,
coming from a slave owner.Copy !req
623. Men have enslaved each other...Copy !req
624. since they invented gods
to forgive them for doing it.Copy !req
625. I've seen Jews build Egypt's glory.Copy !req
626. Seen Christians...Copy !req
627. thrown to lions with my own eyes.Copy !req
628. And I've seen Africans
sell their own kind to Europeans.Copy !req
629. May I share one of the revelations
of my 5,000 years?Copy !req
630. We're all slaves to something.Copy !req
631. I, to eternity.Copy !req
632. You, to your convictions.
Others, to the color of their skin.Copy !req
633. All I ever wanted...Copy !req
634. was to see my kind
granted their rightful place.Copy !req
635. But there are those of us,
those like your friend Henry...Copy !req
636. who enjoy living in the dark.Copy !req
637. And as you're doubtless aware...Copy !req
638. I cannot personally destroy him,
nor he I.Copy !req
639. You, Mr. Lincoln...Copy !req
640. you could eliminate those
last pockets of resistance...Copy !req
641. beginning with Henry Sturges himself.Copy !req
642. All I ask...Copy !req
643. is for you to break your chains.Copy !req
644. Kill your master.Copy !req
645. Be free.Copy !req
646. And if I refuse?Copy !req
647. Then you go on your merry way.Copy !req
648. After I make you one of us, and...Copy !req
649. spoon-feed you your friend.Copy !req
650. Now, a simple "yes" or "no"
will suffice.Copy !req
651. Kill Henry...Copy !req
652. save your friend.Copy !req
653. Feel free to take your time to decide.
Five...Copy !req
654. four...Copy !req
655. three...Copy !req
656. two...Copy !req
657. one.Copy !req
658. Come on!Copy !req
659. This way.Copy !req
660. Miss Tubman, Miss Tubman.
We've been waiting for you.Copy !req
661. Come quickly.Copy !req
662. People getting killed every day.Copy !req
663. Slaves disappearing.Copy !req
664. Some people talk
about monsters and demons.Copy !req
665. Good morning.
Good morning.Copy !req
666. How can I assist you
on this beautiful day?Copy !req
667. We're looking for three men.Copy !req
668. You know, I did see someone
run down that way.Copy !req
669. You're welcome to come in if you like.Copy !req
670. Our service is about to begin.Copy !req
671. Right, let's keep going.Copy !req
672. I take it y'all came from up North?Copy !req
673. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
674. Well, I suggest you get back there
as fast as you can.Copy !req
675. There's a war coming.Copy !req
676. A war for the soul of the country.Copy !req
677. Going to be all colors of blood spilled.Copy !req
678. Our nation was built
on the backs of slaves.Copy !req
679. Their labor, their blood.Copy !req
680. More blood than
you could possibly imagine.Copy !req
681. I have seen this
horror of the South firsthand.Copy !req
682. I say the need for peace
outweighs the needs of the Blacks.Copy !req
683. I say that if the people
of this great nation want slavery...Copy !req
684. then let them have it.Copy !req
685. The demon of slavery
is tearing our country apart.Copy !req
686. We must stand up.
We must stand strong and fight.Copy !req
687. Fight for the very soul of our nation.Copy !req
688. Until every man is free,
we are all slaves!Copy !req
689. You cannot take on slavery, Abraham.Copy !req
690. You cannot take on the whole South!Copy !req
691. - Why, because of Adam?
- No.Copy !req
692. Are you afraid of him?Copy !req
693. Because it is the only thing that has
kept them sated for all these years...Copy !req
694. and you take that away,
then no one is safe.Copy !req
695. So you get to choose
who lives and who dies.Copy !req
696. A great man once said...Copy !req
697. "What we do,
we do not for ourselves...Copy !req
698. "not for one man,
but for the good of all mankind!"Copy !req
699. Not all mankind, Abraham.Copy !req
700. Abe?Copy !req
701. May I have my husband back?Copy !req
702. He's all yours, Mrs. Lincoln.Copy !req
703. Henry only saw the struggle his way.Copy !req
704. But I began at last to see it another.Copy !req
705. To see and to feel
the even greater issues at stake.Copy !req
706. So, he and I would go our separate ways.Copy !req
707. As the Bible says...Copy !req
708. the time had come for me
to put aside childish things.Copy !req
709. I would fight not with an ax...Copy !req
710. but with words and ideals.Copy !req
711. For a time...Copy !req
712. they proved a stronger weapon.Copy !req
713. Lincoln! Lincoln! Lincoln!Copy !req
714. I appear before you to take,
in your presence...Copy !req
715. the oath prescribed by
the Constitution of the United States...Copy !req
716. to be taken by the president...Copy !req
717. before he enters on
the execution of this office.Copy !req
718. The question of slavery is better settled
with a pen than with a sword.Copy !req
719. Fire!Copy !req
720. Through twists of fate...Copy !req
721. I found myself at 50 years of age...Copy !req
722. the father of a nation that
was tearing itself apart...Copy !req
723. while trying to be
the father to a boy...Copy !req
724. not much older than I was
when I lost my mother.Copy !req
725. 3,000 more dead.Copy !req
726. When's the last time
you had something to eat?Copy !req
727. I'm not hungry, thank you.Copy !req
728. You have got to eat, Abe.
You're only human.Copy !req
729. Come along, Willie.Copy !req
730. Willie.Copy !req
731. Willie.Copy !req
732. If you do this,
there is no turning back, Abe.Copy !req
733. I know.Copy !req
734. I'm trying to protect the freedom
of a nation.Copy !req
735. If this war is truly a stand
against evil...Copy !req
736. then let it stand for something.Copy !req
737. If it is a war for the freedom of man...Copy !req
738. why not give all men
a reason to fight it?Copy !req
739. "All persons held as slaves...Copy !req
740. "within any state
or designated part of a state...Copy !req
741. "the people whereof
shall be in rebellionCopy !req
742. "against the United States
shall be then..."Copy !req
743. "... and henceforward shall be free."Copy !req
744. Good morning.Copy !req
745. Precious little one...Copy !req
746. what's your name?Copy !req
747. Willie.Copy !req
748. And your father? What's his?Copy !req
749. Abraham.Copy !req
750. What a beautiful silver sword.Copy !req
751. How is our little soldier faring?Copy !req
752. I've never seen anything like it.Copy !req
753. I'm sorry.Copy !req
754. I don't know what ails your boy.Copy !req
755. Abe.Copy !req
756. Mary's calling for you.Copy !req
757. I'm so sorry, Abraham.Copy !req
758. Why didn't they take me?Copy !req
759. Because they know...Copy !req
760. it is a fate much worse than death.Copy !req
761. Mary...Copy !req
762. is inconsolable.Copy !req
763. She says she doesn't want
to go on without him.Copy !req
764. There is a way, Abraham.Copy !req
765. You know that I can restore the dead.Copy !req
766. Do it.Copy !req
767. Do it.Copy !req
768. Mary...Copy !req
769. Do it!Copy !req
770. Your journal...Copy !req
771. the one you always
kept in your coat pocket...Copy !req
772. I know I shouldn't have, Abe, but
I needed to know what you were hiding.Copy !req
773. If what you say is true...Copy !req
774. I beg you...Copy !req
775. give us our little boy back.Copy !req
776. Mary, he wouldn't be our little boy.Copy !req
777. He would be something else,
something terrible.Copy !req
778. Trust me, you don't want that.Copy !req
779. You're asking me to trust you?Copy !req
780. After you lied to me
for all these years.Copy !req
781. I did it to protect you,
to protect our family.Copy !req
782. And how did that work out?Copy !req
783. You did this, Abe!Copy !req
784. You did this!
You brought this on him!Copy !req
785. You brought this on our boy!Copy !req
786. Let me go to them.Copy !req
787. Make a truce with Adam.Copy !req
788. We must stop this war.
Willie's death is just the beginning.Copy !req
789. Don't you dare say his name.Copy !req
790. I warned you.Copy !req
791. You didn't heed me.Copy !req
792. How many more boys will have to die
before you listen to me?Copy !req
793. These boys are dying in vain.Copy !req
794. We should pull the troops back.Copy !req
795. Abraham,
this war has cost us countless lives...Copy !req
796. not to mention millions of dollars.Copy !req
797. I thought we were going
to make this country great...Copy !req
798. not tear it apart.Copy !req
799. This is the only way
we can save the country now, Speed.Copy !req
800. Send in troops.Copy !req
801. Union troops are flooding
onto the field.Copy !req
802. We are now outnumbered...Copy !req
803. and ill-equipped compared to the North.Copy !req
804. We will support you...Copy !req
805. but you will need to support us.Copy !req
806. No, thank you.Copy !req
807. Rest assured, Mr. Davis...Copy !req
808. you'll have as many of my kind
as you need.Copy !req
809. Fire!Copy !req
810. Fire!Copy !req
811. Ready!Copy !req
812. Aim!Copy !req
813. Here they come!Copy !req
814. Fire!Copy !req
815. Why did they drop their rifles?Copy !req
816. Fire!Copy !req
817. It's the first day of Gettysburg.Copy !req
818. It's been a disaster.Copy !req
819. I don't think the army
can survive another.Copy !req
820. If the rebels break through,
they'll be here... in days.Copy !req
821. The generals think
we should evacuate Washington.Copy !req
822. Run the war from New York or...Copy !req
823. Boston, if need be.Copy !req
824. You have to win this war.Copy !req
825. If you don't, then all of it...Copy !req
826. Then our son's death
will have been for nothing.Copy !req
827. How can I win a war...Copy !req
828. when I can't even protect my own family?Copy !req
829. Our men have no way of defending
themselves against this enemy.Copy !req
830. When our bullets are useless,
our bayonets are powerless as this fork!Copy !req
831. This...Copy !req
832. Will!Copy !req
833. Speed!Copy !req
834. This. This is what we need.Copy !req
835. A fork.Copy !req
836. Silver.Copy !req
837. Okay, okay.Copy !req
838. How much do we need?Copy !req
839. All of it.Copy !req
840. And why tell me this, Mr. Speed?Copy !req
841. Why betray your friend?Copy !req
842. He is my friend,
but I love this country even more.Copy !req
843. And he, more than anyone, is responsible
for tearing this nation apart.Copy !req
844. You've done the right thing.Copy !req
845. I know.Copy !req
846. 32, 33, 34, 35...Copy !req
847. That is a lot of silver, Abe.Copy !req
848. Now, how are we going to
get all this there?Copy !req
849. I'm sorry, Mary.Copy !req
850. I'm sorry I've kept you in the dark
all these years.Copy !req
851. I need you, Mary.Copy !req
852. I've waited a long time
to hear you say those words.Copy !req
853. I want you to leave Washington, Mary.Copy !req
854. Miss Tubman,
please have some tea.Copy !req
855. I very much appreciate you coming
to speak with me today.Copy !req
856. Oh, yes.Copy !req
857. Things have not been easy,
what with my...Copy !req
858. The death of my son and the war.Copy !req
859. I need to get out of Washington.Copy !req
860. And I need a lot of help.Copy !req
861. This war ends tonight.Copy !req
862. And with it...Copy !req
863. our millennia of darkness.Copy !req
864. We have to do this on our own.Copy !req
865. No one can know what's on that train.Copy !req
866. If we don't get those weapons
to those boys at Gettysburg...Copy !req
867. the war is over.Copy !req
868. It's time we had a nation of our own.Copy !req
869. Come...Copy !req
870. we have a train to catch.Copy !req
871. It's 80 miles from here to Gettysburg.Copy !req
872. Eighty miles will decide whether
this nation belongs to the living...Copy !req
873. or the dead.Copy !req
874. Is everything all right, Speed?Copy !req
875. I just can't believe
you're still writing in that book.Copy !req
876. It's all in here, Speed.Copy !req
877. The good with the bad.Copy !req
878. What's this?Copy !req
879. They're fleeing the nest.Copy !req
880. Leaving Washington free for us.Copy !req
881. Look at me.Copy !req

884. Don't want to miss this train.Copy !req
885. Let's go.Copy !req
886. Henry, what the hell are you doing here?Copy !req
887. I just wanted to see
how far your foolishness would take you.Copy !req
888. I don't have time to argue!Copy !req
889. I didn't come here to argue with you.Copy !req
890. I came here to tell you that
your dear friend Speed back there...Copy !req
891. is a traitor.Copy !req
892. He betrayed you, Abe.
Speed is leading you—Copy !req
893. You have no idea
what you're talking about.Copy !req
894. That's all according to plan.Copy !req
895. You must get off this train.Copy !req
896. No, you must get off this train.Copy !req
897. This is not your war, Henry.Copy !req
898. They're here, Abe.Copy !req
899. A whole heap of them.Copy !req
900. We can't let them stop this train.Copy !req
901. You go through there
and you're dead.Copy !req
902. Get out now,
it's your last chance.Copy !req

905. Why don't you let him go, Lincoln?Copy !req
906. Emancipate yourselves.Copy !req
907. I will never follow you.Copy !req
908. You don't have to follow me, Abe.Copy !req
909. I have the train.Copy !req
910. I have the silver.Copy !req
911. Soon I'll have the whole country.Copy !req
912. I'm going to destroy
the myth of Abraham Lincoln...Copy !req
913. so that history will forever know you
not as a man...Copy !req
914. but as a monster!Copy !req
915. Lincoln set us up.Copy !req
916. We've been tricked, Adam.Copy !req

918. Abe!Copy !req
919. Abe!Copy !req
920. Abe!Copy !req
921. Hello, Speed.Copy !req
922. Where is the silver?Copy !req
923. Silver?Copy !req
924. Should be here.Copy !req
925. Why did you lie to me?Copy !req
926. To get you all in one place...Copy !req
927. to finish you.Copy !req
928. Speed?Copy !req

934. Right here!Copy !req
935. Thank you, Henry.Copy !req
936. I suppose some vampires can be trusted.Copy !req
937. As can some men, Abraham.Copy !req
938. If the train was a decoy...Copy !req
939. where is the silver?Copy !req
940. This isn't the only railroad.Copy !req
941. A wise man once taught me...Copy !req
942. always have a contingency plan.Copy !req
943. Get me more!Copy !req
944. Bayonets.
Bayonets for Springfield muskets.Copy !req
945. Springfield muskets!Copy !req
946. Five-pounders and grenades are in
the second wagon in the back.Copy !req
947. Go now, go now.Copy !req
948. Fire!Copy !req
949. Four score and seven years ago...Copy !req
950. our fathers brought forth
on this continent...Copy !req
951. a new nation conceived in liberty...Copy !req
952. and dedicated to the proposition...Copy !req
953. that all men are created equal.Copy !req
954. Now we are engaged
in a great civil war...Copy !req
955. testing whether that nation
or any nation...Copy !req
956. so conceived and so dedicated...Copy !req
957. can long endure.Copy !req
958. It is for us, the living, rather...Copy !req
959. to be dedicated here...Copy !req
960. to the unfinished work
which they who fought here...Copy !req
961. have thus far so nobly advanced.Copy !req
962. It is rather for us
to be here dedicated...Copy !req
963. to the great task remaining before us...Copy !req
964. that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause...Copy !req
965. for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion...Copy !req
966. that we here highly resolve
that these dead...Copy !req
967. shall not have died in vain...Copy !req
968. and that this nation, under God...Copy !req
969. shall have a new birth of freedom...Copy !req
970. and that government...Copy !req
971. of the people, by the people,
for the people...Copy !req
972. shall not perish from the earth.Copy !req
973. Our enemies have made their exodus.Copy !req
974. Some back to Europe...Copy !req
975. some to South America and the Orient.Copy !req
976. They've seen that America shall
forever be a nation of living men...Copy !req
977. a nation of free men.Copy !req
978. We make rather a good team,
you and I.Copy !req
979. One can't help but think of all the good
we could do if we had more time.Copy !req
980. Limitless time.Copy !req
981. Lincoln!Copy !req
982. Yes, well, time waits for no man.Copy !req
983. We're going to be late for the theatre.Copy !req
984. Hold onto this for me, Henry.Copy !req
985. Mary, darling...Copy !req
986. have you seen my hat?Copy !req
987. It's on your desk in the office.Copy !req
988. Have you seen my hat?Copy !req
989. Abraham, let me make you immortal.Copy !req
990. Let us fight through the ages,
side by side.Copy !req
991. Vampires are not
the only things that live forever.Copy !req
992. History prefers legends to men.Copy !req
993. It prefers nobility to brutality.Copy !req
994. Soaring speeches to quiet deeds.Copy !req
995. History remembers the battle...Copy !req
996. and forgets the blood.Copy !req
997. However history remembers me,
if it does at all...Copy !req
998. it shall only remember
a fraction of the truth.Copy !req
999. One more.Copy !req
1000. A guy only gets that drunk when
he wants to kiss a girl or kill a man.Copy !req
1001. So, which is it?Copy !req
