• [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.

• [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.

• [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.

• 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.
