  • [Just as Cardinal Alba is about to complete the ceremony by burning Jack at the stake, Father Guiteau shoots Alba in the back with a shotgun, killing him in the process. Valek, his followers, and Katrina growl and hiss]
  • Jack Crow: [shocked] Padre!
  • [Valek growls]
  • Father Adam Guiteau: [yells] Now, what are you gonna do, Valek? You've got nobody to complete your ritual! The sun's starting to rise!
  • Valek: You... will finish the ritual.
  • Father Adam Guiteau: [holds the shotgun to his head] Try to make me.
  • Jack Crow: Attaboy, Padre. Fuck with him!
  • [to Valek]
  • Jack Crow: Hey, Valek, you're shit outta luck, pal. Give it up!
  • [Valek grabs a burning torch and attempts to set Jack on fire. Guiteau removes the shotgun from his forehead]
  • Valek: Finish it.
  • Father Adam Guiteau: No.
  • Valek: [yells] Finish it!
  • Father Adam Guiteau: [screams] NO!
  • [Valek moves the torch closer to Jack's crotch]
  • Jack Crow: [groans] Come on, Padre. My nuts are on fire here!
  • Jack Crow: End of the line, Valek.
  • Valek: You still with us, Crow?
  • Jack Crow: I don't burn so good these days, bloodsucker.
  • Valek: [raising his hands in a calm manner] Give me the cross.
  • Jack Crow: [sarcastically] This cross? Let me just ask you one thing. After 600 years hows that dick working? Pretty good?
  • [Valek advances menacingly]
  • Jack Crow: Huh? Come on
  • Valek: [lunging at Jack] The Cross!
  • [Jumps but Jack stabs him with the end of the cross]
  • Jack Crow: Suck this!
  • [Forces Valek against the wall while still stabbing him with the cross]
  • Jack Crow: Die! Die, you fucker! Die!
  • Valek: [spreading his arms in a mocking tone] Jack.
  • [Jack hits him with a wooden plank]
  • Jack Crow: Die!
  • [Hits him with another wooden plank to no effect]
  • Valek: [hits Jack across the room with the cross] Jack. You can't kill me.
  • [Starts to pull the cross out of his body he painfully yells out loud, Jack knocks a wooden pillar loose causing the roof to fall apart exposing Valek to sunlight causing him to combust and scream in agony]
  • Jack Crow: You ugly, blood-sucking fucker, DIE!
  • [Valek combusts and explodes into a fireball]
  • Jack Crow: Shit!
  • [sighs]
  • Jack Crow: Jesus.
  • [Jack Crow, having been beaten up by Valek, awakens to find himself strangled and tied to the front of his truck; Cardinal Alba appears, having turned to the dark side]
  • Cardinal Alba: Hello, Jack.
  • [Chuckles]
  • Cardinal Alba: From your expression, I assume you couldn't understand my presence here. I'm sorry to disillusion you, Jack. As one grows old, as death approaches, we begin to question... our fate. And I found mine lacking. "Is there a god? Is there a heaven?" I can no longer answer this for certain. I've witnessed no miracles, had no visions, and the prospect of death terrifies me. I've realized I've only one... alternative, and I made a bargain. With the devil if you wish.
  • Jack Crow: You are truly a pile of dog shit, Cardinal.
  • Cardinal Alba: Yeah, that's right.
  • [chuckles]
  • Cardinal Alba: That's correct, Jack and I can live with that. After I have given what Valek wants, he will fulfill our bargain. And I will be transformed into one of his... new children. It's beautiful, isn't it?
  • [Jack spits at the Cardinal's face]
  • Cardinal Alba: Eternal Life... Imortality... can change your heart.
  • Jack Crow: Valek...
  • [Valek looks at Jack]
  • Jack Crow: ... why don't you prove you can kick my ass? Come on, untie me. Come on. Fuckin' pole smokin' fashion victim. Come on over here.
  • Valek: Jack...
  • Jack Crow: Come on. Five minutes, then you can bite my ass a little. Would you like that, see me all tied up, huh?
  • Valek: What will silence you?
  • Jack Crow: Come on. Untie me, you prick!
  • Valek: Perhaps this will help.
  • [Katrina, now a legion of the undead and one of Valek's newest children, appears and laughs evily after finally feeding on Montoya]
  • Valek: Apparently your friend is one of my children now.
  • [Jack scoffs]
  • Valek: You are alone, crusader.
  • [Valek has beaten up Jack very badly as Montoya & Katrina escape the vampires and Father Guiteau hides in the local bar]
  • Valek: [grabs Jack's head; growls] Your war is over, Crusader.
  • Valek: Isn't it beautiful? Something you'll never forget? I know I won't.
  • Valek: You can't kill me.
  • Cardinal Alba: Hello, Jack. From your expression, I assume you couldn't possibly understand my presence here. I'm sorry to disillusion you, Jack. As one grows old, as death approaches, we begin to question our faith, and I found mine lacking. Is there a God? s there a Heaven? I can no longer answer this for certain. I've witnessed no miracles, had no visions, and the prospect of death terrifies me. I realized I've only one alternative, and I made a bargain with the devil, if you wish.
  • Jack Crow: [disgusted] You are truly... A pile of dog shit, Cardinal.
  • Cardinal Alba: [chuckles] Yeah, that's right. That's correct, Jack. And I can live with that. After I've given Valek what he wants, he will fulfill our bargain, and I will be transformed into one of his... New children. It's beautiful isn't it?
  • [Jack spits in his face]
  • Cardinal Alba: Eternal life... Immortality can change your heart.
  • Jack Crow: Valek. Why don't you prove you can kick my ass. Come on, untie me. Come on, fucking pole smoking fashion victim. Come on over here.
  • Valek: Jack... .
  • Jack Crow: Come on five minutes. Then you can bite my ass a little. Would you like that? See me all tied up? Huh?
  • Valek: What will silence you?
  • Jack Crow: Come on. Untie me, you prick.
  • Valek: Perhaps this will help
  • [Katrina enters the town fully vamped out]
  • Valek: Apparently your friend is one of my children now. You are alone, crusader.
  • Jack Crow: What the fuck do you want from me, Valek?
  • Valek: Oh, you hate me so, don't you? But you made me, crusader. You hate what you've made. You fear it, because it is superior to you.
  • [grabs and squeezes Jack's face]
  • Valek: for 600 years I fed on your kind at will.
  • [Tries to bite Jack but slowly refuses]
  • Valek: No.
  • Jack Crow: Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?
  • Cardinal Alba: Because you are needed, Jack. The ceremony is a reenactment of the original exorcism. It requires the blood of a crusader and his crucifixion upon a burning cross. The climax of the ceremony must coincide with the first rays of the rising sun. Sorry, Jack.
  • Jack Crow: What the fuck do you want from me, Valek?
  • Valek: Oh, you hate me so, don't ya? But you made me, Crusader. You hate what you made. You fear it because it is superior to you.
