My lord, the enemy is at our door. Are the ultimate so cruel they still interrupt
our love? They will pay for it, my beloved. Come on! Is this one necessary?
Can't we all live in pieces God intend for us?
You are my reason for being, Elisabetta.
Please, take care of yourself, my king. My life. Because I cannot survive without you.
That's enough, my lord. War calls. Victory is yours.
When we will take you to Wilmer Castle, to our castle, you will be safe here.
Princeps Invictus, et justarum aminarum.
Nos in Brueleo defendamus.
Tutte la nostra estu alla missia et lac veis diaboli.
Un nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
This battle will be bloody, your eminence. The dead will number in the thousands.
Are you sure God wills this?
Our kingdom is the last bastion against the muslims. Do you have faith in our load?
I do. I am ready to die for you.
Then hunt this barbarians to the last man.
I will fight in his name, but I ask him for one favor.
I'm listening, my son.
I want him to spare my wife.
If she doesn't survive, I won't be able to go on.
Everything would lose meaning. Life would become unbearable.
Calm yourself. You risk blasphemy.
The Lord gave you life. You must honor and serve him.
But he gave me love as well.
He cannot blame me for being unable to live without it.
If he takes her life, he can take mine too.
I will pray for your request.
No, don't pray. Tell him.
Father Prince!
They're here in the forest.
What is your plan, sir?
Let them go.
Go, Prince, let's go!
Run!
Take her, sir!
He is the plan!
Run!
Go, Prince!
Help!
beat the gun!
Get out!
Now you can't!
This is what I'm doing!
The Princess! Speak. There was an ambush.
She managed to escape. Where did she go? The Forest of Wolves.
My Prince. He's dead. We've been praying for her since you left.
So God is deaf? Or you did not pray hard enough?
My Prince. God has his own reasons. It's not for us to question him.
Perhaps you had another destiny for her. She has no other destiny. She is dead!
And he didn't even allow me to say goodbye to her.
I beg you, tell God to send her back to me.
It's impossible. Why? Why?
Because God does not perform reincarnation. But he can perform miracles, can he not?
Can he not? If you pray hard enough, he will listen to you.
Please, tell him. Tell him!
She... she was a good Christian and a pure soul. I'm sure God will take care of her.
And what about me? I've done everything he has asked.
My soul is stained with the blood of our enemies whom I have killed in his name.
I don't have the answers, my Prince. I'm only his humble... messengership.
Good. I have a message that I want you to deliver to me.
Tell your God... that until he brings me back
my wife, my life no longer belongs to him.
Uh, around ten minutes ago.
Ah, okay. Yes!
Where did you lay there?
Um, in the chapel. It seemed most appropriate.
You did the right thing. You did the right thing.
Father?
Ah. Dr. Dumont, I presume?
Yes.
You have a very beautiful chapel.
Well, yes, it's true. Thank you for making this trip, Father.
It must have been a long and arduous journey.
Exhausting, I must admit. That's why I'm partaking of some
light refreshment I found right here. I hope you don't mind.
Not at all.
You're most kind.
I'm sure it tastes much better than the beer in my native Bavaria.
I'm sorry to welcome you in such an ingratious manner, but I'm afraid
the hospital administration and diocese don't support your presence here.
I'm used to it. The church and the scientific academies don't get along very well.
That's why the Vatican for centuries has been in the
habit of delegating its most delicate cases to us.
This case is very delicate. The Queen of England herself is concerned.
The Queen? Exciting.
No, no, no. It's the ceremony of the centenary of the French Revolution.
In a few days, there's a lot of excitement everywhere.
Close the door.
Why so many chains? I'm afraid she'll fly away.
She was quite aggressive when we picked her up. A real beast.
Even animals are entitled to a little humanity. What do we know about her?
Maria de Montebello, 25, from Bologna, Italy, engaged
to marry Henry William Spencer, consul here in Paris,
and the great-nephew by marriage of the Queen herself.
That's why this case is so delicate. More than delicate. Sensitive.
Anything else I should know?
From what I've been told, it all began during the wedding, which
took place on their family estate as Maria objected to a church.
However, the groom had invited the Bishop of Westminster to bless the Union,
and at the sight of the clergyman, the bride was seized
with hysteria and a sexual appetite beyond comprehension.
Appetites can be a sign of very good health, can they not, Doctor?
Well, certainly, within limits.
May I?
Sure.
Born on the 18th of March, 1759.
It must be a clerical error. Otherwise, it would mean that she is...
A hundred and thirty years old, exactly.
A hundred and...
So you believe this woman is a creature of devil?
Well, that's a hasty conclusion, Doctor.
Very often, when a situation escapes our
understanding, we see in it the work of the devil.
Well, the fact that she's old and allergic to God's
representatives is merely a symptom, not a disease.
It is very important in cases like this to study, to observe without prejudice.
We must follow the rules and laws of nature, science,
mathematics, not those of superstition and the church,
which I must admit can be a trifle obscure.
You see, Doctor, we have to approach this like a criminal investigation.
We should first establish a fact.
From there, we deduce the motives, the circumstances, the location.
Could you hold this, please?
And the murder weapon...
My order has been studying this phenomenon for more than 400 years.
I personally for more than 30.
And I can state for the record, Doctor, you are
the first one to have captured a specimen alive.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Laya.
The vampire.
Don't listen to him, Doctor.
Help me.
I'll let you do whatever you want.
Smile, please.
The oversized canines could be a clue, but there could also be a natural explanation.
So we must look elsewhere.
Now, this creature, like any other, is definitely the work of our Lord.
But for some mysterious reason, it seems God may have other plans with it.
Contrary to popular belief, vampires adapt very well to light in general.
But it is direct rays they cannot take.
This is crazy. It doesn't make any sense.
Again, you may be right.
This could be just another anomaly of nature.
So we have to continue until we find irrefutable proof.
Well, I think we have all the proof we need, Doctor, don't you?
This is beyond science and understanding.
That's why I am here.
My dear child.
May I call you Maria?
You can call me as you like, Father. I want yours.
Maria.
If you answer my questions nicely, I will give you what you want.
You know my desires.
I know your needs. Allow me.
Come a little closer, let's help.
Science requires sacrifice.
Are you ready to make one?
I suppose so.
What are you doing?
A few drops of blood, a meagre contribution to science.
If I buy your lentil soup, you'll feel like a new man.
Uh-huh.
Help you.
Maria, show me your neck, please.
You see? She's not a first-generation vampire.
So you mean there could be more of them?
Without a doubt.
For 400 years now, we've been looking for the source.
This source.
Yes.
My master.
Who is he?
What's his name?
Where can we find him?
No, don't bother.
He'll find you.
Is he? In Paris?
No.
Very soon.
Oh, no.
Maria.
Please.
Maria.
Who is he?
He's a prince.
A prince?
He's come from the celebration?
No.
He comes to find his princess.
His princess?
Who is she?
What does she look like?
Hmm.
Very beautiful.
More blood, please.
Ah, sure.
You had enough.
More would be greedy.
So, what is your conclusion?
Now we can find a princess who will lead us to her prince.
Good luck.
Are we there?
Take this road.
It is at the end.
Can you help me with my luggage?
Can't leave my horses alone?
Too many wolves are all.
Glad to hear it.
You have a crucifix with you?
No.
Take mine.
Keep it always with you.
Thank you, but I do not believe in God.
Don't pray God believes in you.
Huh.
Huh?
Shoo!
Hello?
Is anybody here?
Oh.
Excuse me.
I... You surprised me.
I desire to apologize for my... somewhat my...
dramatic entrance.
Give me this.
Oh.
Uh... My apologies, sir.
I didn't introduce myself.
Jonathan Harker.
Solicitor.
You were quite young for a lawyer.
Yes.
I... joined Filippo's office in Paris earlier this year.
Ah.
Thank you.
And... you are?
Vlad the Second.
Prince of Wallachia.
Count...
Dracuz.
Oh.
Your Excellency.
Apologies for my clumsiness.
I was given no physical description of you.
My portrait is not well known except on these walls.
Huh.
Magnificent.
Is that a gramophone?
Yes, it is.
I've never seen one before.
I'm very curious to... Later, maybe.
Let us die.
Fine.
This is so good.
Your appetite is a pleasure to see, young man.
Everything is so delicious, and to be honest, I will starve him to death.
Huh.
That certainly won't be the case here.
The upkeep of such an abode must require a countless amount of staff.
Too many.
And yet, I'm puzzled not to have seen any.
They are very discreet.
You want anything?
Later.
Try this.
Nice trick.
Fantastic flavour.
It is one of the recipes I bring back from India.
You travel a lot?
Not anymore.
Not anymore, but... Once upon a time, yes.
I visited every continent and crossed all oceans.
Oh.
You must have so many wonderful stories to tell.
I do.
What are your troubles for?
Work or pleasure?
I handle certain affairs, it is true.
But I am retired now.
I let my...
associates travel around the world in my place.
And it's my associate, Mr. Jenkins, who arranged for my visit here.
And once again, let me thank you for quoting me a moment of your time.
I have plenty of time.
So, what brings you here, young man?
What?
Among the many properties that you own in Europe, there's one in particular.
An old abbey in the heart of Paris.
The county, which we represent, wondered,
given the dilapidated scale of the property,
if you might be interested in selling.
Ah, I think it's this one.
No, not this one.
Sorry.
I must admit, the roads were quite chaotic
to get here, and my stuff is all upside down.
And what do they want to do with it?
A hospital, I believe.
The Great Paris Exhibition is coming soon, and
the city will receive millions of visitors.
And this one?
It's located near Saint-Germain-des-Prés, not too far from the river La Seine.
I will show you.
Are you a believer?
Sorry? What did you say?
Do you believe in God?
Not me. The coachman gave it to me. All two positions run deep, I suppose.
Got it.
Enough talking for tonight. Let me show you to your room.
This castle is well-guided, but I prefer you
to not leave your room under any circumstances.
Forgive me, but what exactly are you afraid of?
Old castles like this are filled with memories that might haunt you.
Oh, I'm not superstitious.
That is a pity.
Watch him.
Elizabeth.
Good evening.
How may I help you, Father?
I'd like to speak to Mr. Henry William Spencer, please.
Yes?
My apologies for disturbing at such a late hour.
I was sent by a friend, Dr. Dumont of the Hotel Dieu Hospital.
Oh, God, the hospital where Maria is... Indeed.
Is something awful before her?
Yes. No, she's alive, clinically speaking.
Oh, thank God. Please come sit down and tell me everything.
Father, I'm worried sick. Is her health stable at least?
She doesn't eat much, drinks reasonably well, yet she's bursting with energy.
That burns well, but... Yeah.
That burns very well.
Yet do we know more about this evil thing that's eating away at her?
We're making progress, but as you know, the sides is a long,
winding road that we can only travel step by tiny step.
You have a very nice place here.
Which belongs to the English Crown.
Yeah, the Crown has always known how to make good investments.
What can I do for you, Father?
I'd like to visit her room.
May I ask what you're looking for?
Nothing in particular. It's just important that no stone be left unturned.
You're a bit like an inspector on a police investigation.
Precisely. Except I tried to solve the case before the murder.
I'll leave you to it.
And if you ever need any help on any occasion, I'm your servant.
Thank you. That's very kind of you.
Princess Elisabetta.
You should not have left your room.
Oh, my God.
Don't utter that name.
He is not welcome here.
Are you the devil?
God. Evil.
Two almost identical entities.
Two minds battling one another without showing themselves.
And we... we are their playthings.
We are puppets that move only and dare be haste.
No!
No! No! No!
No! No! No! No!
Do you intend to kill me?
I do.
But not right away.
It is important to wait until the blood engorges the head.
Who are you really?
I am just a poor soul condemned by God.
And cursed to walk in the shadow of death for all eternity.
No!
And sustain myself on fresh blood.
Human blood is recommended.
Ah!
Why would God do such a thing? He is only love and mercy.
Oh, I thought you were not a believer.
I am now.
No!
Thank you.
What is your last wish?
Tell me your story.
My story?
Yes.
Please.
I want to know everything about you.
This is your last wish.
Is to listen to a story from an old man.
I'm dying to.
You're dying to.
It is very funny.
Let's grant it then.
Lower him down.
Life is nothing but a long hard road, my friend.
Death is a privilege that God grants you and denies me.
And yet, I was one of his most faithful servants.
What happened?
He took my wife.
My princess.
The love of my life.
Since then, I've lived on waiting for her return.
How long?
Exactly?
400 years.
That's pretty long.
But how can you be sure she'll come back?
Sometimes pure souls can be reincarnated.
And my beloved was the purest of them all.
Forgive me, but I presume you don't know when, where or how?
Precisely.
That doesn't seem like a very good deal.
That I have known.
Sooner, young man, I would have hired you as my lawyer.
You've been looking for all this time?
The task has not been easy.
The Black Base spread all over Europe for centuries.
Nearly 200 million souls were decimated.
Half of them women.
This made my research all the more difficult because
all the remaining women were gathered in holy places where I was not welcome.
I was so lonely
that I began to envy the unfortunates that death claimed.
Living without love is the worst disease of all, my friend.
It is like a fine,
incessant rain
that gradually eats away at your bones turning you
into a formless sponge unable to stand upright.
And then,
no matter how strong your love is,
you lose your faith.
And yet they said that hope is the spice of life.
In my case,
I would prefer that...
hope kills me.
To theibiline But, all of this was of no use,
because God denied me the right to die.
Over time, all desire disappears. Even the desire to end one's life. All you are left
with is... an orderless, charmless, melancholy, and the hope that I will find her one day.
But, I couldn't visit every castle house in Hamlet.
So, if I couldn't go to her, I had to find a way for her to come to me.
How? Poison?
Now look at this who is being dramatic.
It is a fragrance that I developed for over a century.
I visited the great city of Baghdad, known for its
magical gardens of a thousand and more flowers.
Then I continued my journey to Kanash, in India, where I
learned to capture the souls of the most sensitive flowers.
But it was only back in Europe that my research came to fruition.
First, to the colorful fields of Grasse in France, where
some flowers have intoxicated our imaginations for centuries.
And then, finally, in the heart of Italy, in the magnificent city of
Florence, which was, at the time, the capital of all the perfumes.
Sir, I think this is it.
The color is quite pleasant.
Oh, never mind the color. The city is divine, and the effect guarantees it.
We shall see.
Perhaps it would be wiser to try outside.
No, this seems to be the ideal place.
Oh, mamma mia.
This perfume was highly effective.
More powerful than I could have ever imagined.
I have to admit, this period was not the most unpleasant.
Indeed.
And then, after visiting every court in Europe, I ended
my journey with the famous French court of Versailles.
The king at the time.
Louis, whose number... I forget.
Miss Little Buttercup had the bright idea to bring together all his
nobles and his artists of his kingdom to keep closer eye on them.
Now, there is no doubt in my mind that if Elisabetta had returned, she would be here.
I had never been so close to finding her.
In my heart, I was as excited as when I began.
Elisabetta.
No, I'm not Elisabetta.
I'm Isabelle de Touraine, but I'll change my name if you insist.
It's seemed impossible, and on this day, hopeless to me.
Effort, time, and money spent only served a war of
debauchery and artifice which left no place for love.
It was now time for me to entrust the task of finding my Elisabetta to others.
How many did you bite?
It doesn't matter.
Because in the end, my associates were as unlucky as I was.
So I returned to my Elisabetta.
And since then, I have rarely left this castle with the deluded
hope that one day my disciples will finally find my beloved.
Sir, you seem to know what you're talking about when it comes to love.
I do.
And you have to spare me, please.
I do have a beloved and you'll separate us forever.
In whose name?
God?
No.
In the name of love.
Are you married?
I proposed to her just before I left.
And she...
Accepted?
Yes, she did.
We to be wed as soon as I return.
It is unfortunate.
If you kill me, she'll die of grief. I know it.
What does she look like?
The locket.
There.
Around my neck.
Inside is a photograph.
No, Mina.
Nina...
This woman is my young man...
But I will spare your life for filing her for me.
Keep in prison.
Where are my horses? I need to be clean.
I need to be beautiful. I need blood. I need blood. Lots of fresh blood.
Elisabeth.
This is a portrait of the woman our prince
is searching for in your great city of Paris.
He's been looking for his beloved for more than 400 years.
We've been tracking him for just as long.
But the resolution of his endless weight is about
to happen now, right here in the heart of Paris.
She's left-handed.
Yeah. Good observation.
This book contains all observations my congregation has compiled over the centuries.
You speak German?
No.
Well, let me read you a little piece.
It is likely that these creatures are the way they are as a result of a divine curse.
Göttlich verflucht in German.
If God can give life, then consequently he can also give death.
But he can refuse in cases of great offense or blasphemy.
Ah.
Then the offender will be condemned to wander the earth for all time.
But even more interesting, God can forgive the
offender, however, in the event of true repentance.
Death will be granted, and the curse will be lifted.
Hmm.
This means if we succeed in destroying this demon, all
those who he's bitten will be freed from the curse.
And, uh, suppose we do manage to find this demon? How do you intend to get rid of it?
That's the easy part. You drive a stake through
his heart with a hammer and cut off his head.
Wonderful.
In another book it's mentioned that cloves of garlic
will cause it to flee. I doubt this method is effective.
Yet more within my grasp.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. First we have to find this
woman, because she's the only one who can lead us to him.
Strange.
What?
Um, the young woman in the portrait.
Yes, what about her?
She bears a striking resemblance to the young woman
you asked me to keep waiting in the next room.
Madame?
Are you Dr. Dumont?
Indeed. How can I help you?
I'm a friend of Maria Dumont to Bello. I learned that she's
under your care and I came to inquires to her condition.
Of course.
To whom do I have the honor?
Mina. Mina Murray.
I was at Maria's wedding when tragedy occurred.
You knew her well?
You knew?
Oh.
No, no, no. Please, please. My apologies.
No, no, she's very well. I mean her condition is dead. Sorry.
Praise be to God.
Indeed, my child.
Would you mind if we ask you a few questions? It could help her recovery.
Yes, of course.
Are you related?
No, not at all. I am not from here.
Can you tell us about your relationship, her behavior?
Well.
I met Maria a few days ago at a tea party that her future husband organized.
Henry.
When she saw me, she took me under her wing.
Oh, oh, oh.
She never really let me go.
Look at her.
It was as if she could sense that I didn't really belong.
She took me into her room and we... we talked. We laughed a lot.
It was so nice.
She was... What did you talk about?
She could talk about anything.
She was...
She was particularly fond of...
Discussing love.
To the point of making me uncomfortable.
She was so excited.
About what, exactly?
About everything.
And then...
Suddenly, she just...
She tore herself apart.
Why did you attend the wedding?
I...
I accompanied my fiancé.
Who knows...
Everyone.
It seems.
He's from a very respected family, I suppose.
You suppose?
Yes.
I don't... I don't know.
Get some water, please.
My dear child.
You have before you a doctor and a priest,
both bound by the strictest confidentiality.
You can express yourself without fear.
To tell you the truth, this wedding has upset me.
Like a bad... Premonition.
My engagement happens so quickly.
I don't...
I don't know.
If you love him.
I do.
Of course.
He's wonderful.
Any young woman would be delighted by such a match.
But you're not any young woman.
I can't help but feel like I...
As if I...
As if?
As if I don't belong in this time.
I apologize.
You must think me incredibly naive and...
I'm boring you with my problems.
I... Absolutely not.
Quite the contrary.
Could you write down your address, please?
Of course.
I'm staying at a boarding house until Jonathan returns.
You're left-handed?
Yes.
I've often been advised to become right-handed.
Don't change a thing.
It's very charming.
Thank you for your visit.
Thank you for seeing me.
I'll go now to the hospital chapel and pray for her.
Excellent idea, my child.
Good day.
What is eat, my son?
I have no shelter and have not eaten for centuries.
I am cold as well.
I will take him to the chapel.
Please.
Come in.
Thank you for the invitation.
Don't move.
I'll get you a hot bowl of soup.
You are too kind.
Who are you?
Count Raccoon.
At your service.
Thank you for the soup.
But I require something richer.
Don't worry.
You won't catch fire.
Your evil spells have no effect in the house of God.
Oh, really?
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the evil spirit...
Come, my sisters.
Look what God has made of you.
Hearts of stone and dormant bodies.
Suffocating under their own thick tissue.
Let me free you from this prison.
What?
The second one. Dobb! No. Dobb! No. Dobb! No. Dobb! Dobb! block!
influertigh arse Weag syllabus
Dublin Good evening.
The hospital is closed. I found her. Thank you. You deserve a reward.
Come, come a little bit. Come closer.
Here you are.
Sorry for disturbing you, Father. The Doctor Dumont needs to see you immediately.
I'm coming. If this patient's disappearance could
remain a secret way to nurse, at least for a while... You can come help me.
Here.
He lost a lot of blood. I was thinking of giving a transfusion.
I'm sure he would have loved that.
Oh, yes, of course. Sorry.
He uses a pleasant perfume.
I never noticed.
How could she have escaped with all the chains?
There was an outsider, Comptece.
A man.
He was seen wandering the hospital.
Is there a description?
Thirties.
Elegant and retreat rest.
Blue eyes.
Tall and upright.
Mina's in danger.
You must want her.
Are you cold, my child?
No.
I've always loved the spectacle of fire.
Expecting visitors?
No.
I'll see what it's about.
Ta-da!
But you're cured.
Indeed I am.
Oh, it's a miracle.
I'm so...
I'm so relieved.
Don't worry.
Evil is gone as quickly as it came.
Let's not speak of it anymore.
What's your feeling?
In tip-top shape and ready to celebrate my return in grand style.
Dr. Dumonti let you go.
I have so much energy today.
I don't think he could have stopped me.
And your fiancée?
In Scotland.
Oh, look what I have!
But your hat will go together.
Where?
Three front row tickets for today's celebration.
You're welcome.
Three?
Oh yes, my friend.
The one I've been telling you about is in town.
And he's dying to meet you.
Quickly, go change!
Go change!
Where are you taking me?
Our grandmose.
These are wonderful hot chocolates.
You have to try it.
You're beautiful.
Well, I know my friend is very beautiful.
But I'm a bit offended.
Forgive me.
Your beauty brings light to this place filled with dark suits and top hats.
Very true.
Madam, it is an honour and a pleasure to see you again.
Have we met before?
In a dream, perhaps.
I have this strange feeling that we have known each other for a long time.
That's very romantic.
Terrible.
Excuse me.
I seem to have lost my mind and my manners.
Gladly seconds, Prince of Wallachia.
Count Draco.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Maria.
You promised me hot chocolate.
Yes, but first we're going to have a little fun.
Sorry.
I took the liberty to have libations prepared while we wait for tonight's show.
Excellent.
Maria, it's not really proper to visit the room of a man we've really just met.
Don't worry, I won't let go of your arm.
Ta-da!
What do you think?
It's wonderful.
I don't know about you, but I'm starving.
I'm exhausted.
All right, all right.
Oh, you sit here, Princess, and I'll bring you hot chocolate.
Thank you for accepting my invitation.
Your apartment is fit for a king.
I'm just a prince.
Sorry.
You live in Paris?
No.
Far the north and the country.
Our life is quieter.
You like the quiet?
Not at all.
I love nature.
Birds.
Trees.
And the wind that makes them sing.
May I ask, where do you live?
My family home is an old castle.
At the foot of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania.
There I know only winter and loneliness.
I love winter.
With its harsh landscapes.
My parents dream of Andalusia.
Perhaps the memory of another, older life.
I suppose so.
May I show you something?
Yes.
It's beautiful.
What is it?
It is a music box.
Many people think it was invented in the 18th century by the Swiss.
But I found this one at the merchant's table in Constantinople.
It dates from the 15th century.
Mark.
I gave it to my wife as a gift.
You're married?
Widowed.
Forgive me.
You're forgiven.
And it still works?
Of course.
Do you know this melody?
It seems so familiar.
I've traced my memory.
I don't know from where, when.
Keep searching.
Heart.
And your skin.
In your soul.
You feel me, Elisabetta.
Love.
What kind of spell are you putting on me?
None, Nina.
I'm only haunted by the memory of my wife.
My one and only love.
And you look so much like her that it troubles me.
Her name was Elisabetta.
And when she wanted me,
she used to play this little tune that echoed through the castle.
It was my signal to run to her.
This is all very touching.
I am Mina.
Mina Murray.
And I am getting married in a few weeks' time.
Yes, of course.
Forgive me for bothering you with my stories.
These are all pains that your presence has brought back to life.
And I sincerely apologize for this.
Please.
Sir, I cannot accept this. It's far too precious.
A gift can never be refused.
And maybe this melody brings back some memories.
Mina!
Come!
It's gonna start in ten seconds!
Oh, yeah.
Three!
Two!
It's here.
Thank you for a wonderful evening.
It has been an eternity since I have known such...
...happiness.
Is the word become unfamiliar to you?
My wife took it with her.
Good night then.
Well...
Good night.
Charlotte!
What has happened to you?
I thought I would never see you again.
Please.
It's better, Iris.
He's gone out.
What's happened to him?
Mina?
Do you know where he went?
No.
Not exactly.
To a castle.
Where he was held prisoner.
And from which he was miraculously able to escape at the risk of his very life.
And do you know who owned his castle?
No.
Maria's very good friend, Count Dracula.
The one who's infected her.
And many others.
No.
You must be mistaken.
The Count...
The Count is charming.
And...
You've met him?
Yes, the Count...
He's an absolute gentleman.
He even walked me to my door.
He's...
I don't know.
How did he find you?
I don't know.
It all happened so quickly.
Maria...
I came here... And she told me you had released her.
Maria escaped, knocking out three guards in the process.
And ran most of the blood from my clerk.
My... I... I... I don't believe that she... Take a seat.
Calm yourself.
Because what I'm about to tell you will be difficult to hear.
And even more so to understand.
That man is a hematophagus.
It feeds exclusively on fresh blood.
Human blood mostly.
He's a vampire.
Yes.
He is.
It bites its victims usually in the neck and sucks their blood until they're dead.
Some of them are, so to say, spared, but they become vampires themselves.
Oh my god.
Maria is one of them.
I need to make sure that you're not as well.
Maria... Of course not.
I've never touched her disrespecting me.
He behaved like a perfect gentleman.
He uses a perfume to seduce his victims, a kind of elixir
that annihilates all will and removes all inhibition.
So you may be under his spell and not even know it.
I do.
Powerful.
Yeah.
Indeed.
But it's easy to verify.
May I see your neck, please?
All is well.
It's a miracle, really.
Please.
This way.
Good evening, sir.
Father.
Why, please.
We have kids.
We are sleeping.
Yes, sorry.
Thank you.
Careful.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Don't even know this double-off screen.
Nina, don't be afraid.
I mean in no harm.
Yes?
Miss, I seem to remember being perfectly clear about the rules of the house,
which include no music after 8pm and it's past midnight.
Please forgive me.
I hadn't noticed the time.
Good.
Now, sir.
If you were the gentleman you claimed to be, you would leave this room immediately.
I understand.
My regards.
No.
Not that way.
Go out the way you came.
What are you doing?
You cannot jump.
It's much too high.
Nina, I've waited almost 400 years to see you again.
So if you want me to leave, I can.
Yes.
No, leave.
No.
I forbid you for killing yourself under my window.
So you'd like me to die further away?
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Just get off the wagon immediately.
You lied to me.
Not even once.
You used charm to seduce me like you do to all your victims.
You're right.
It is a perfume.
But I never used it with you.
I told you to drink the blood of your victims.
It's true.
But you are not my victim.
You are my beloved.
Quiet.
The one and only true love.
Who are you to talk to me like that?
I am damned, Nina.
I am a dead man condemned by God's will to live.
Why would God do you such a need?
Because he took you from me.
So I cursed him and abandoned him.
Because of any popular belief, I don't like blood.
Even if yours has a delicious taste to it.
Without it, I would only be a repulsive old man and a mute heart no dare to look at.
These are all just words.
Charming words meant to deceive me.
You're right.
Sometimes words can deceive you.
Take my hands.
Hands never lie.
They will tell you the truth about me, but also about you.
About who you really are.
And they will tell you how much they've enjoyed
caressing your face and your neck and your hips too.
You remember the last thing you said to me?
You said, take care of yourself, my prince.
My king.
My life.
Because I cannot survive without you.
I want you to take me.
Now.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
And I only offer this.
I want you to be in your flesh.
In your blood.
Please, my husband.
Please.
Do you know?
Yes.
That smell.
It's the same as in the hospital.
Same perfume.
He's here.
Oh, my God.
They're left.
But where?
There's only one place.
It appears Minos gone missing.
With him?
I'm afraid so.
This man is the devil.
He must be stopped as soon as possible.
Precisely.
But do you think you'll be able to guide us to his castle in Romania?
Yes.
Father, we come to school like that without any preparation, without any help.
I think I know someone who could help us.
Ta-da!
There we go.
All the way up here.
So you missed me?
Of course, my darling.
I pray for you every day.
What happens?
Is this a miracle?
It is.
God heard your prayers.
And here I am completely healed and ready to love you for the rest of your life.
Henry.
I was going mad without you.
But when you discharged from the hospital, I asked for them to let me know.
I know, I know.
I left barely an hour ago and came straight here.
And I completely killed... Of course.
Don't bore me with your questions.
Aren't you excited to see me?
Of course.
Oh, Henry.
I missed your arms.
And your beautiful hands.
And your lips.
Especially your neck.
Hurry up.
How dare you!
Jesus, what did you do?
Do not worry, do not worry.
There is an explanation.
We can explain everything.
Oh no, I will!
What are your thoughts?
What have you done?
Don't shout it to me.
Oh no, please. Stop.
No -no, stop.
Stop when.
Don't let me...
My friends, Princess Elizabetha has returned.
Let me talk to them. I won't be wrong.
Master, they are already on your trail, and we'll finish on you soon.
I think it is time for you to leave.
Thank you for your concern.
But we are finally at home.
There is nowhere else to be.
Take this.
I don't think I will need your services anymore.
Go in peace now.
You think God will forgive us for loving each other so much?
God is love. He understands. And if he doesn't, he can go to hell.
They will know what it is to wake you, try, and stay here.
Take this!
Over there. That's where he sleeps in his coffin.
In coffin? That's the last place I want to sleep.
We all will win that.
Soldats! I need five volunteers with me. Rest, don't stand.
That's him. He's inside. Soldats!
You won't kill him that way. Leave it to us, Father. He won't get away this time.
Armats! Fuck!
I told you I would spare your life. Don't make me go back on my heart.
Hey, get down there!
Let's go!
I won't!
That's him!
Let's go!
A little pause... and we're back.
You are the priest who has chased my people for so many years. Yes. But rest assured
I didn't come to fight you. Not I. I fight God. I'm not interested in his servants.
No. You're not fighting God, my son. You're fighting yourself.
No. No, no. I fought and I killed in his name.
We live and we breathe in his name. Why would he want us to destroy his creation?
Man kills in his own name. And you're doing it again.
That is all just very fine words. God sent you here to kill me.
God sent me here to save you.
So God wants to save me now.
After he denies me the right to die for centuries.
But this is not a punishment. This is an opportunity.
Repent, Dracula, for your salvation.
She is my salvation.
But you are her damnation.
I need a little bit more time.
Elizabeth, the curse will disappear if I do.
You will regain your freedom.
But you are my freedom. You are my freedom, my love.
But you go, I go.
Dracula.
Do you believe you love her, but you expect her to sacrifice her life for you?
Please save me.
Your soul still belongs to God.
If you truly love her, let her return to life.
And you return to God.
Dracula!
Open the door!
Four hundred years ago, I asked a priest that God spared my wife.
He did not.
Please!
Can you hear my prayer this time?
Will you?
Whether he hears you or not?
Only you can change destiny, my son.
Save her.
And then you will be in peace for eternity.
Don't leave me, man!
Hurry up before I change my mind.
Amen.
No!
See, Slayer!
And I'll have you see what I've got tomorrow, while I'll bring to Makaji.
Because I love you.
I love you, too.
Me now?
The spell is broken.
Everything's fine now.
Good.
Thank you.
I'll see you soon.
Yes, yes, yes.
