Spike rams the car through the gates amid machine gun fire from the other guards. A bullet-ridden Spike emerges from the car and attacks. Suddenly, Nazi reinforcements arrive, this time carrying crosses. Spike curses Dracula and the novel that told everyone how to kill vampires, and retreats to a nearby building. Inside, he finds a chained-up werewolf wearing dog tags identifying him as an American soldier by the name of Nathaniel Osborne. Spike frees the werewolf as the soldiers burst in, and escapes in the ensuing chaos. Outside, he sees that Dracula has assumed the form of a giant bat, and is flying off with Darla and Anselina.

The letter assures Spike that he will be attended to. Just then, Nostroyev and The Prince of Lies arrive.
