[Accidental Video]
[The video opens once again upon a speeding train, but this time Claire, a blond man in a blood-spattered white tuxedo, a woman in a white wedding gown, and a woman in a sheer black dress are standing on top of the train. Claire is still completely covered in blood and is holding the white-clad woman in his arms, a noose around her neck. The rest of the rope is uncoiling rapidly, as if tied to something on the ground, and it seems he's about to hang her. She doesn't struggle, or even seem to care that her death is imminent.
Claire smirks and pushes the woman towards the man, who yells in shock and grabs her, leaping from the train with his woman in his arms and the rope held desperately in his other hand as he tries to save her life. He looks shocked as the rope proves to not be tied onto anything after all, and the two plunge towards the ground below.
Claire looks back at the man and woman he'd just manipulated into jumping off the train. The man is lying still, and the woman in the wedding gown is leaning over him worriedly, clearly not strangled]
I'm not too sure about the man, but the woman is all right. Heh. I thought he was just common scum, but he's something else. [He turns to the black-clad woman standing behind him] Don't you think so?
[The woman says nothing, only gazing at him. He waits for a moment, then walks toward her.] Well then... I promised that I would kill the one who survived, but it's not clear whether he's alive or dead.
[He stands very close to her] What do you think I should do? [A pause, still with no reply from the woman]
Is this Huey guy your sweetheart?
[She shakes her head]
Family?
[She nods]
Your father?
[Again she nods]
Is it true that he's immortal?
[She gasps and leaps back a few feet, brandishing her knife defensively. Claire looks at her in surprise]
Is that what you think? That I'll find this Huey and steal away the secret of his immortal youth from him? Is he the only family you have? [Claire is slowly stepping towards her, while she backs away, step by slow step] He's the only family you've got, so you feel you have to do whatever it takes to protect him, am I right?
[There's a long pause as the two look at one another]
I was thinking about that... If you and I got married, I would become that Huey guy's son. Then I would be a member of your family, so that wouldn't be an issue anymore. You can think I'm kidding if you want to, but I'm serious. Unlike your buddies in there, I won't betray you. I won't try to pull anything like stealing the secrets of immortality from Huey, either.
[And he takes another step towards her. This time, she remains rooted to the spot, staring at him in utter incredulity] After all, I don't need them. You see, whether I have the power of immortality or not, there's no way I'm going to die. I believe that. [He leans a little closer, as if preparing to kiss her] So don't say anything, and believe it, too. I am a man who will never die.
[Then suddenly he tilts his head to the side, grabbing the woman by the shoulders and moving her a foot to the right as a bullet whizzes right through where their heads had just been. A man further down the train has just fired a pistol at them. Claire releases her and steps away, his eyes on the man who shot at them.]
We're about to come up upon a river. If you're not planning on being caught by the police, jump off there. [He glances back at her] Carve your answer to me into the roof over there. [He lifts a hand in a wave as he turns away] Bye, now. You can throw the knife at me, if you want to. I'll just dodge it.
[And then he's off, darting down the length of the train towards the shooter, dodging five bullets with acrobatic flips as he goes. The woman stares after him. She doesn't throw the knife]
