You have to learn to stop the senseless killings.
The people I kill deserve to die.
Sweet Jesus.
I'm going to kill that fucker for what he did to my partner.
Burke! Wait for backup!
-Hey, buddy. -I shot the bastard point-blank, Wynn.
Not even the doctors have figured out how he pulled through.
My memory, it feels shattered.
I'm looking for a man who wears a red shroud.
Who is it that seeks the shroud? Jade.
You were the only hellspawn to escape me.
-You look spooked. -She hunted me as well.
Heaven has sent their bounty hunter,
and now she wants your head.
Well, let her come.
The world has been plagued by demons from across the centuries.
Genghis Khan. Attila the Hun.
Hitler. When the great battle of Armageddon comes,
who does God send to protect us? And what must those angels be like,
willing to battle with the same savageness
as those they are sworn to kill?
What are we left with then, monsters killing monsters?
Who's good and who's evil? Maybe...
it's just a matter of what side you're sitting on.
When the full moon came,
the hellspawn stared at it for a long time,
as if expecting to discover some truth
in its cold stillness.
Clarity, maybe?
A measure of peacefulness.
Things he hadn't known for a long time.
But the moon only brought into his world...
-Get your fucking hands off me! -…more savageness.
You see, this is business, Lakesha.
If you're not working for me, I lose money.
Why do you turn tricks for those fucking Russians?
I treated you like my queen.
I'm not stupid. I see through you.
You think those nice clothes and fancy college talk
makes you better than me. You're more whore than I am.
You're nothing but a coward.
Is this what you do?
You kill people with these things?
You're not a hero.
You're a coward.
-Get out of my house. -Wanda, I...
I don't even know who you are any more.
So, Charles, what do you want us to do with her, man?
She just retired. Cut her up.
They...
See you around, Lakesha.
Hey, Lady? You okay?
Officers requesting medical assistance at alley...
I remember this one. We busted her a couple of months ago.
Is that you, Lakesha? I know who did this.
It was Charles, wasn't it?
You don't have to let him beat on you like that.
Come on, Lakesha, wanna make a statement this time?
Lakesha, help us put his black ass in jail where it belongs.
You’re going to bring flowers to my grave?
Leave me alone.
Announcing the arrival of Red Traveler, 164, from Des Moines, Iowa,
gate 53, gate 53.
She's so innocent, fresh.
The homecoming queen who came to New York to be a star.
-Jesus, you know the drill. -Sure.
I'm fixing to tear into her.
-Where you going, sweetheart? -The subway.
Hey!
Beat it, or I'll cut you like a fish.
You have to be careful, Miss. This is New York.
You don't talk to sleazoids like him.
I was hoping to get some directions.
I'm really hungry, and I need a place to stay.
-Hey, are you guys security? -Yeah, what's the problem?
Listen. Would you, guys, show this girl where the YWCA is?
And here. Buy her some dinner, will you?
-Sure. -These guys'll take care of you.
Good luck, miss. If you need any help, just call me.
You're really nice.
And they told me New Yorkers might try to take advantage of a girl.
You're a long way from the sticks.
-What's your name? -Lilly.
Lilly? Like in Lilly white ass?
The doctor filled me in.
He's not sure of the damage until the swelling goes down.
Hey! Twitch is fine. He'll be on the streets in no time.
Hey, that's for me to decide, Detective.
According to the doctor here,
your partner's experiencing some memory loss.
That's bullshit. What he needs is rest, not visitors.
How are you, Detective?
You're probably getting tired of people asking you that.
Thank you for coming, Chief.
Detective Williams,
I know this medal of bravery's not much
compared to what you've been through
and what you sacrificed for this city,
but please accept it as a token of our gratitude.
You've done well, Officer. The department is proud of you.
Well, I guess I'll be going.
Yeah, he needs his rest.
You okay, Twitch?
-Move! Move! -Out of the way!
Jesus.
-Jason Wynn said he would call you. -Yes, we spoke.
He's very concerned about your officer.
I'm handling his care personally.
In a situation like this, epinephrine is very effective.
You got to be careful. A large dose can cause the heart to beat so fast,
it tears itself apart.
Another shot? What is it?
Something to help you sleep.
You've had some restless nights, Officer.
I've been having nightmares.
This will make your heart race a little at first, but that's normal.
Wait! I don't want the shot.
Can't you give this man some peace?
You wake him in the middle of the night to see if he's sleeping?
Stop poking him all the time. He's not a damn pincushion.
This is Burke. Two?
When?
Didn't I tell you, anything in the alleys, you call me first.
No one touches a fucking thing until I get there.
They found two more dead bodies in the alley,
leg-breakers for a pimp downtown,
their throats ripped out, near where you were popped.
First the bastard shoots you, now he rubs my face in it.
I have to see it. Maybe I'll remember something.
No! Hold on.
Get your scrawny ass back in bed.
You still have half a bullet in your brain.
You can't just go, you have to sign something. Let them off the hook.
I don't remember how to sign my name.
That's fucking great.
Okay, but when we get to the crime scene, let me do the talking.
Something happened.
-What have you done? -Wanda.
All I wanted was to touch her again.
-She saw you for what you are? -No!
Terry is her husband. She thinks she slept with him.
You come back from hell to reclaim your wife,
this woman who means everything to you,
and you make love to her in the body of another man?
-She never has to know. -You know!
-Where is your honour? -Honour?
What do you know about honour?
I've read the inscription on your tomb.
The Black Knight provided a feast of souls for Malebolgia.
-He killed for the pleasure of it. -Yes.
I killed women and children. I showed no mercy!
I have had 800 years to change my heart,
and still that is not enough to wash away what I've done.
Do you think you can save me?
If I can bring one hellspawn back to humanity,
I can rest. -Win your points on someone else.
I'm finished here. Let them take me back to hell.
I have nothing left to give except to you.
Everything has been taken from me.
Everything that I have ever loved and cherished is dead,
gone a long time ago,
hundreds of years ago, lost in the past.
Why do you go on?
I want my honour back!
Let Malebolgia take my soul.
I can't die without my honour.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's a slaughterhouse.
-These two work with Charles. -Maybe it's the Mafia.
Charles took this turf from the Russians.
Nah, this ain't mob. Hey, here comes Burke and Williams.
What's everybody standing around for? Get these looky-loos out of here.
-Let's move it. -You got it, detective.
You heard the man!Let's move it!
Where's the coroner going to go with this guy?
-Cause of death: wild dogs. -But you don't believe that.
In a logical world, that would be a reasonable call.
They were both clawed, torn open.
And there are fang marks on the scalp, neck, shoulders, and chest.
No damn dog is this powerful. These guys were tossed around like rag dolls.
-It's him. -Who's him, Twitch?
Beat it, will you? Get behind the tape with the other vultures.
Where are the forensic guys? I don't want to be out here all night.
I'm a little surprised to see you back to work, Officer Williams.
I heard you got hit pretty hard.
Last time we spoke was in a cop bar, right?
You were looking in the alleys for a guy in a red cape.
If you play with matches, you could get burned.
I heard he's the prime suspect in your shooting.
Do you think he did this, Officer Williams?
No statement until the autopsies are done, okay?
Whatever you say, Sam.
Were those guys killed here or just dumped?
Can't you at least throw me a bone?
The first one was killed right here.
He fired twice as they struggled.
It's weird how their necks have been torn open,
but there's no blood on the snow,
no blood on the bodies. They were licked clean.
Well, we don't really know that.
So you don't spill a drop of ink about this.
I don't want this headline showing up in my dog's mouth in the morning.
What are those patterns in the snow?
I remember when I was a kid,
in winter, we'd throw hot caramel on the snow,
to harden into a thin sheet, and we ate it like candy.
That's what happened with the blood.
When his aorta was severed, that blood froze when it hit the snow.
The killer scooped it up in handfuls.
You remember stuff from when you were a kid,
but you can't remember who shot you?
The second one...
-Ran. -Yeah.
That's right.
He only got about 30 feet.
The attacker brought him down with such force
that the neck was severed,
and the body drained of blood.
But how would you know that, Detective?
Hey, Twitch, I think you need to go warm up in the car.
I'm worried about Twitch.
How long has he been having these visions?
What are you talking about, visions? The guy's the best cop on the force.
Look, some freak in a red cape shot my partner
and he's probably responsible for these two heaps of ground round.
I don't think he did this.
You were right. The bodies were licked clean and drained of blood.
Jesus. That's not even human.
-The killer wasn't human. -Knock off the horror movie stuff.
The coroner cites tears on the chest and neck as claw marks
so deep they tore out one man's rib cage.
The blood was consumed where they were killed.
Sounds like a big cat or a wolf.
Maybe an animal got loose.
-We'll check the zoos. -It's not a wolf, sir.
I keep seeing them in my mind.
He had green eyes.
I remember his claws.
You didn't used to talk weird like this.
You were the most straight arrow cop I ever met.
I don't blame you, sir, if you can't believe me.
Go home, Twitch. You need to get a little rest.
Yes, sir.
Baby.
Get away from him.
Your kind has always disgusted me.
I know who you are. I've heard all about you.
You're Jade. The other hunters,
they told me to watch out watch out for you.
You've gone too far, and the boy's dead.
-I'm sanctioned to take you. -He'll be okay.
He looks like a sweet boy.
He's like the rest. He just wanted sex.
Those two thugs in the alley,
you led them there and then you ripped them open.
I was hungry. Those pigs tried to turn me out like a cheap whore.
The cops think it's the hellspawn.
I want him to know I'm coming for him next.
You have no license to hunt him.
Only bounty hunters have that right.
Yeah? Well, the masters were going to kick me out,
but when they saw you hadn't taken out the new hellspawn,
they offered me a deal,
one last chance to prove myself.
-They didn't tell you that? -You're a vicious little bitch.
No wonder the masters threw you out.
I didn't ask for this. I was raped by a hellspawn,
so don't preach to me. -There is a way to track a hellspawn.
You act foolishly. He will finish you.
I can take care of myself.
If heaven won't take me back, there's always hell.
A pretty girl like you shouldn't be out here on these mean streets.
Come over here. I'm not going to bite you.
-Come on, it's cold out here. -I like it cold.
I saw what was left of those two guys you were with.
I want you to tell me who killed them.
-I think you were there. -I was there.
I heard the fucking little pigs squeal when they were ripped open.
Did you think you were going to be safe from me
hiding in this shithole church?
No one's going to want you now
because there's only one thing you're good for.
I'm going to put your ass on the street, bitch.
With a cut face, I probably won't get as much money for you,
but you're mine!
I own you!
What are you?
Tell me who you are.
Do you sleep in here, with these bones?
How long have you been like this?
Years. I don't like to think about that time.
I wear these clothes so I can remember what I was.
Before I had the hunger.
I must look so ugly.
You're beautiful.
I'm just like you.
He made me into a monster, too.
-Who? -One like you,
sent from Malebolgia. -How do you know about me?
I will take my revenge, hellspawn,
starting with you! -You were sent by them?
Heaven sent a girl to kill me?
Is this the best they can do?
What kind of heaven sends a creature like you?
All the rules have changed, hellspawn.
Heaven wants to win.
You're not like the others.
This is your chance, bounty hunter.
I'm a soldier like you.
We have our duty.
You think you can take my head
the way you took the others?
Come and take me.
I want you to be strong
when I come back for you.
For this hellspawn,
the creatures of the dark have nourished him.
Evil has strengthened him
and restored his power.
