Now, do you remember where you're hiding him?
All I want to do is help him.
My brother will never be one of you.
Is it worth it to die for the secret?
Listen, we could save you.
You can be a normal human again.
This woman, she is a doctor. She can help you.
We're not far from discovering an antidote.
Tom, he doesn't care about that.
Yes I do.
You could be healthy again.
You can all be healthy again.
An antidote?
Yeah.
For what? For this?
Is that what the bitch told you?
Carrie, are you still doing your old doctor trick?
Do you still wear your white smock like before?
You don't really believe she's a doctor, do you?
She pretends to be a doctor
so she can get close to the family members.
That's what she does.
She's vampire hunter.
There is no antidote,
and there sure as hell is no cure for your brother.
Tom, it's not like that.
What is so different this time?
Everything she promised you is a lie.
She wants to kill your brother, not me.
Fuck you.
She tricked you and she used you.
I hope for your sake
you haven't gotten too close to her.
She's very good at getting people
to fall in love with her.
I have to find him, do you understand?
I have to find him and you are going to tell me.
I don't know where he is.
I know.
I know where his brother's hiding.
Where is it?
Get Pashek first.
Why don't you tell me?
Because you're not in charge here.
I will only talk to your master.
I need his word he'll let us go.
Carrie, have them put us in a car first--
Tom, please.
So, you want his brother.
You want him so bad, we're still alive.
What's so special about his brother? What?
But I want something from Pashek in return.
If you tell me, I'll let you go.
You have my word.
Fuck that.
How's your hand?
Rotting yet?
You know it'll eat its way through your whole body.
I'll watch you eat your own entrails!
First...
why don't you give that to your master?
Tell him this time he can't escape the Devil.
So you want me to come with you?
And you want me to give her my word.
A human?
Your fucking idea to bring her here in the first place!
We need the man. The woman's useless. Kill her.
Should we really kill her?
We are all going to die because of you.
No, we're safe here.
Oh, really? In this shithole?
Has your rotting arm caused you to go blind as well?
You will never find him.
We need to be on that ship now!
We need to evacuate!
I thought I could trust my life with you,
- you of all people. - lt'll heal!
But he will find me!
- I won't allow that. - Oh, really?
Will you shoot him?
He wants me to know he's here.
He's mocking me.
He can't find us here.
Don't you understand?
It's him, Vlad Kossei,
the Devil himself!
Be not afraid of him.
I defeated him once before and now I have his brother.
I'll find him.
Bring me the bitch.
Do you remember me?
Too bad I wasn't fast enough to get you back then.
Too bad I can't cut you right now.
Oops! Aw.
I might as well get used to the way you taste.
No! Don't!
Get her!
Shit!
You okay?
Of course I'm not.
Who are you really?
I don't have much time.
Thank you for sharing some of it with me.
This is Paul Cramer, my lawyer.
Please, what is this about?
I'm Dr. Carrie Rieger from the Riverdale lnstitute.
I'm sure you've never heard of us.
We're specialized in psychosomatic illnesses
with extreme inclinations.
Your brother Christopher Clayton
was being treated at Livermore Hospital.
He disappeared from there five days ago.
You didn't say this was about his brother!
We're treating him at home now.
Tom, don't say anything.
The Riverdale lnstitute is uniquely equipped
to deal with the disease pattern your brother's exhibiting.
Miss Rieger, I must insist that you leave immediately.
- Has his jaw transformed yet? - Hey hey hey!
- Everything's all right, Tom. - This is just the beginning.
Thank you for your visit. Send your materials.
Mr. Clayton is very well-known for his generosity
to charitable institutions.
As soon as his teeth start to change, stay away from him.
We don't need any more publicity.
"You're in danger. Don't trust anyone."
Believe me, we're doing exactly the right thing.
Is that it? No wallet?
What do you mean, "ls that it"?
Fuckin' lucky to be alive.
So it was two vampires.
The watch and the necklace were from the big one,
the rest is from the other one.
That was a rating 2.
And what's this?
They had those around their necks.
Since when do vampires carry stakes around?
Maybe they're trying to help us out.
You also had a ring?
If you don't mind, in the future make a list
of what you got off of which vampire.
That goes for all of you.
Next time we'll be sure and write their names down.
It's not about the names. It's about transparency.
- Do you think we're stealing? - Why don't you just listen?
Come on, answer me, Sid.
Hey hey hey, enough talk.
Everyone follows the rules. Okay?
That includes you and me both.
Now sit down, Grant, sit down.
We're vampire hunters, not fucking accountants.
Yeah, but we still have to pay our bills.
Speaking of money, we need new motion sensors
for the house perimeter.
And I need a new crossbow.
Forget it.
What's wrong with the motion sensors now?
Three of them crapped out from the rain.
I don't know which is worse, the vampires or the bank.
We just need richer vampires.
- Right on. - So, what are we, muggers now?
Of course not. It's like the vampires
have to make a donation to the cause.
Because they don't do so voluntarily,
we have to extract it from them.
We used to want to fight evil, didn't we?
Now it seems like all we care about is money.
It's always been like that.
As far as I'm concerned, they're vampires--
scum-- and they don't have a fucking claim to anything.
That's why we take what we can get.
So what are we on today?
I went to see that Thomas Clayton guy--
you know, the rich dude.
Yeah, but we don't really know he's a vampire, remember?
He showed the typical symptoms of the transformation.
Very weak symptoms.
In any case, he has disappeared without a trace
and I think his brother's hiding him.
If all the vampires bit him on his trip
he'd have mutated long ago.
Not necessarily.
I've seen it take several weeks.
He's cute.
And rich.
I think this guy knows exactly
that his brother's a ticking time bomb.
I ain't gonna wait until he bites them.
They always wait too long.
- He looks sad. - He called me.
Ah, the old "don't- trust-anyone" trick.
He wants to meet with me--
without his lawyer.
Excellent! You find out where his brother is, got it?
We'll do the rest.
I don't want anymore solo performances.
Don't screw up. We could really use a rich vampire.
Chris?
Maybe you should wait here.
Chris?
Where is he?
Gone.
- Your brother lives here? - Yeah.
I keep telling him, but he never opens the window.
How long has he been like this?
Since he got back.
Oh my God.
No. Don't touch him.
Oh, shit. That's Paul, my lawyer.
Not anymore.
Where the hell is my brother?
He took him.
Who?
The one who did that.
I just wanted to look at it.
I risk my life every fucking day.
Put it back.
Lately I've been thinking about whether this is all worth it.
Looking like that, I think I'd even tell you
where my brother was hiding--
if I had one.
We're gonna take Grant's cousin with us
so he can learn the virtues of being a hunter--
waiting in the car.
All we have to do is find out
where the brother's hiding.
Must have been about a year by now.
He's dead--
at least to me.
If it would make it easier--
I don't need help from you
or anyone else, Keaton.
I buried him and forgot about him a long time ago.
Like you said,
it wasn't my fault, right?
Last couple of nights it's been quiet,
too quiet.
I don't like it.
Something the vampires don't like either.
What do you think of their story?
What, that the vampires are gathering?
That was a desperate vampire begging for his life.
He meant that they're gathering and fleeing,
Iike animals from a forest fire
that you can't see yet.
What's that supposed to mean?
Are we ready to go yet?
Right, let's go.
Remember:.
never trust a vampire.
No, I'm not a doctor,
but I can explain.
Feel free.
They're coming through.
I know these doors.
I've tried to get through 'em often enough.
We have to get out of here.
No, way.
How?
Let's negotiate with them.
They're vampires. They don't negotiate.
You negotiated before.
I was just trying to buy some time.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
I trusted you, "Dr." Rieger.
What was I supposed to say?
"Excuse me. I think your brother sucks blood,
Can I please just drive a stake through his heart?"
I'm sorry that stuff about the cure was a lie.
And I'm not a doctor. But everything else was the truth.
What the hell was that?
What are they doing?
They're coming through.
We're trapped.
There's coffins in here.
This is a hideout,
which means it's protected from people getting in, usually.
But there was always an escape route...
for emergencies.
Great.
Tom, they won't hurt you.
Wait. What do you mean?
I'm gonna go get help.
Trust me.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, you are not gonna die here today.
I promise.
What if they're already waiting for you on the other side?
Try and buy me a little time.
She isn't here.
You think she's already yours?
More of us are waiting on the other side, bitch!
It's gonna be a very short breakout.
Take him to the bunker.
We still need him.
What's your plan, Carrie?
What's your play?
She should be through by now.
She's still here.
The door. The door!
Ha!
Caught us with our pants down.
Yeah.
Stay by the door.
Against the wall.
Keaton.
It's Sid.
His skull's been crushed.
Any bite marks?
No.
Guys?
I think there's something over there.
Stay by the door.
One of Pashek's people?
No.
Black stake.
Keaton.
Where are the others?
Did you see him?
Yes.
I was with Clayton.
Jill, where are the others?
It's gonna be okay.
I--
saw the Devil.
They're still here.
Fuck. They're still here.
Protect his brother
and do not let him
find him.
Vlad Kossei.
Against the wall. See this?
Yeah.
Paralyzes them.
Can you use a gun?
Okay, you are now a vampire hunter.
Flash first, shoot second.
And don't shoot at us.
- Okay? - Okay.
Carrie, it's too late. Come on, leave her.
Nothing you can do.
I'm sorry.
Me upstairs, you downstairs?
Whatever it is, we need it alive.
Shit!
- I said don't shoot! - Shit!
He just moved.
Dead.
It doesn't take long for vampires to decompose.
They may twitch a bit when the gases escape.
Showtime!
Don't'!
We have to find out what happened here.
Shit!
Hold him!
Leave him.
It will hold.
Told you.
Whose group are you with?
Whose group?
Do you understand us?
Of course he understands us.
He will kill you first.
He will kill all of you.
He will drink your blood!
Who's your master?
And what's with these stakes?
Come on, bitch. I'll fuck you
and you will love it.
Shh.
Kid, you better get out of here now.
He's gotta learn sometime.
Baby, let me free.
We can fight like men.
It won't do you any good.
No matter what you do, it won't do you any good at all.
He's back, and you'll be first!
Do you understand?
He already knows you.
What are you guys gonna do?
We're gonna make him talk.
Vlad Kossei!
What did you say?
Vlad Kossei.
Vlad Kossei!
I can't believe I didn't see this straightaway.
We can't keep him here forever.
Not forever,
but if we interrogate him using the hooks now,
we'll only get one chance and he'll probably lie anyway.
A couple of days without blood, he'll sing like a bird.
About what?
Vlad Kossei,
the Devil himself.
Derek.
What a pretty name, really.
How long have you been a vampire hunter?
I got this in the Carpathian Mountains.
They're in Transylvania.
I know. I remember.
The figures match.
It must be some kind of
vampire rune to repel evil,
or attract it. I don't know.
There's blood in here, vampire blood.
These things haven't been used for hundreds of years.
Have you killed before?
It's a fantastic feeling.
It makes you feel
powerful.
Jill gave this to me before she died.
She said she'd seen the Devil himself.
What is this Vlad Kossei?
Just a vampire ghost story, that's all.
But-- well,
it was extremely cold in the 12th century.
They say it was like a mini ice age.
It snowed until June. Crops failed all over Europe.
The first cases of the Plague broke out.
It was a bad time,
even for the vampires.
The vampire sovereigns needed to blame someone
for the situation.
They needed a scapegoat.
Hence, Vlad Kossei,
"the Devil himself."
But I don't think he really existed.
But someone's trying to convince the vampires that he does.
Maybe it's a young vampire
trying to get ahead using the old legends.
Killing vampire hunters is a great way to attract attention.
He's either pretending to be Vlad Kossei
or says that he can defeat him.
Maybe it's one who refuses to subordinate to the ancients.
That would mean war.
We've seen that before. Reminded me of a vampire rune.
I never gave it another thought.
I'm the first vampire you've ever seen, aren't l, Derek?
I have to confess something.
The binds on my arm are loose.
I think I might even be able to free myself.
What harm could I do with one arm free?
That crazy bitch would probably just
cut off another one of my fingers.
Even I know that
I could use a friend down here.
Would you be my friend?
Will you?
I'm gonna drive over to Parker's,
see if I can get some of his guys.
We can't survive another attack.
There's only two of us.
So, tighten the binds
and tell those crazy assholes out there
that I'm cooperating.
Will you do that for me?
Please, Derek?
Please?
What about the kid?
Well, he wanted to be a vampire hunter.
Now he is one.
Help help!
I wasn't going to hurt him.
Derek, you have to believe me.
I wasn't gonna hurt you.
There you go.
I have a good heart.
You all right?
If you are even going to believe
an old vampire like me,
such a good heart--
Do something with it.
Hello there.
Showtime.
You can't maim a prisoner
for trying to escape.
Hold him.
Jesus.
It broke off.
We will "talk" later.
Why is he so important?
We have to find her.
We cannot let her leave this house.
I can still take any one of you,
so find her!
Get her up.
Caught so quickly.
You didn't learn that from me.
You're nothing since I left.
At least I didn't let them bite me like you did.
Now listen to me, Carrie.
You have to tell me where this brother is hidden.
If you help me,
I can help you.
What about your boss--
your precious master?
- If he's so all-knowing-- - Don't throw your life away.
Maybe he'll make you one of us, hmm?
Then we can be together again,
this time forever.
Matt, you can't cheat death without paying for it.
But we do.
What do you dream about
when you sleep in your coffin?
What do you dream about?
A price we vampires have to pay for immortality.
Think about what it is you used to fight for.
You can do it.
You don't know what it means to be a vampire.
My name is Fork now,
and believe me, I'm nothing like I used to be.
Where are you hiding the bastard?
I can take you there.
The apartment with the pictures on the wall--
yes, we've been there.
We've been watching you.
You were the first one to turn us on
to Clayton and his brother.
We would have known nothing about them if it wasn't for you.
She smells like fear.
It's like I said, she doesn't know anything.
Useless. Kill her. Bring me Clayton.
Maybe we can still use her.
There's another hiding place.
Sure, my dear.
And what will you give me if I let you live?
St. George, the dragon slayer,
patron saint of all vampire hunters.
Your friend here used to wear the same amulet.
But now he belongs to me.
So close to death,
yet there's still one question
burning deep inside, isn't there?
I can see it in your eyes.
Who is Vlad Kossei?
This is the third time I ran away. I can't go back.
Who cares?
You're old enough. You can do whatever you want.
Stop whimpering.
Stop bleeding.
Is it true your boyfriend became a vampire?
He's dead.
All vampires are already dead.
He can't breathe.
Did you forget already? He tried to kill you.
Jesus Christ, he could kill us all.
Yeah, I know.
No you don't.
Look at him.
Look at him!
You don't know them.
You don't know what they're like.
They're not human.
Look at his cold, dead eyes.
He doesn't give a flying fuck about you or your dreams!
They just bite you!
Never show pity.
You got a lot to learn, Derek.
So I can be like you?
What's wrong?
It's getting light.
And he's scared to death.
He can't see you, he can't hear you anymore.
He can't feel anything anymore,
not until this evening.
Sunlight petrifies them.
Best time to kill them.
We track them during the day,
smoke them out of their hideouts,
and watch them burn in the sunlight.
We hunt them during the day, they hunt us at night.
I thought you were gonna bring Parker's people.
Parker's dead--
rubbed out. The whole group,
just like us.
Wilson's group too.
We're the only ones left.
You have to find out where Clayton's hiding his brother.
Three groups of vampire hunters
in one fucking day.
Chris is an architect.
His offices specialized in restoring old buildings.
- They got jobs from-- - Was this a church?
Yeah.
This was his last project,
a dirty old church in Romania
the communists used as a pigpen.
He always had a photographer with him.
He was really proud of these
old drawings on the church walls.
They were discovered during restoration.
They were hidden in an old walled-up crypt,
drawings of the passion of Christ.
They must be really ancient.
He was really excited about it.
He thought it was going to be this huge discovery.
And then he started to change.
At first I thought it was just work and stress.
Then it got worse from day to day.
I told him he should go see a doctor again.
That was the day
I started becoming afraid of him.
It was like he was slowly transforming
into someone else.
Did he take anything with him,
some kind of object, anything special?
Why?
Because this isn't the passion of Christ.
Christ wasn't burned.
This was a warning to the people.
What is this?
I didn't know what to do.
Hey! Can you hear me?
He's not feeling good. What's wrong with him?
- When's Keaton coming back? - He's off doing research.
He needs blood. He needs warm, fresh blood.
Damn it!
Watch his hands.
If he starts to wake up,
he's gonna move first and try to bite me.
Give me that crowbar.
I need to open his mouth. Get me the crowbar.
Never thought l'd have to feed a vampire.
That's good.
That's enough!
I know why your blood tastes so good.
It's the hate in you! I can taste it.
You think you're better than us, don't you, hunter?
But you're just like us.
You kill because you love it!
What is this?
This is a church in Romania.
What did they find in that church?
The fools!
You're curious friend didn't just find anything.
He found Vlad Kossei!
What do you know of Vlad Kossei and his power?
Nothing.
Oh, you might have read something in books.
But I was there.
I was there when I burned him,
when I tracked him down 800 years ago.
We thought we had gotten rid of him once and for all,
the monster Vlad Kossei.
We vampires are not monsters.
We're not like Vlad Kossei.
We maintained the balance with the humans
in our home long ago.
They feared and respected us.
They were happy
because we protected them
as a shepherd protects his sheep.
But then,
one day,
one day he came--
Vlad Kossei.
His thirst for blood was unquenchable.
He would wipe out entire villages in one night.
It was a nightmare.
The humans formed an army, a pitiful force.
He swept them away before the battle even began.
He destroyed them from within.
Deceit and treachery were his most powerful weapons.
Deceit and treachery,
that's what we learned from him.
We vampires couldn't defeat him on our own,
we knew that much.
So we formed a secret alliance with the humans.
We made a pact to destroy Vlad Kossei.
Vampires and humans--
he wasn't expecting that.
We pledged allegiance to Kossei,
gained his trust, then drew him into a trap.
He underestimated us.
That was his failing.
Your St. George did not defeat a dragon.
He defeated Vlad Kossei.
I am your St. George!
But he wasn't dead.
Ultimately we had to tie him to a scaffold.
We stacked wood beneath it
and then burned the flesh from his bones.
Some thought he was a demon,
an evil spirit in a vampire's body.
So the humans took the bones
and brought them to their final resting place
for dangerous spirits.
They sealed him in an altar in their church.
He was practically dead already
the instant he was bit by Vlad Kossei.
Your wayward friend has become Vlad Kossei!
The fools woke the Devil himself!
What does that mean?
He will cut the smiles from your faces.
You will learn what true fear is,
what true pain feels like.
It means that Vlad Kossei is back.
You need me
more than I need you.
I could destroy him before he regains his power,
before his transformation is complete.
But he will become invincible
when he destroys the last link.
What link?
We should work together--
humans and vampires.
It's the only way to defeat him.
We have to start by...
trusting each other.
What link does he have to destroy?
Maybe I'll remember
if I could drink a little more blood.
Okay.
Derek, I need you to help me.
I know this is gonna be gross,
but it's our only chance to get him to talk straight.
He won't last.
Vlad Kossei has to kill his brother!
That's it.
His spirit is dependant on the blood in his veins!
As long as that same blood still exists in another person,
he will only become a shadow of his true self.
Do you understand?
He would have to kill his parents
if they were still alive--
or his children.
But he definitely has to kill his brother.
But he won't kill his brother himself.
He won't murder his own blood.
He would instantly lose the connection to his new body.
That's why he will need a new ally.
Your hate
blinds you to reality.
Vlad Kossei wanted you to know that he'd been found.
You're already part of his plan.
He wants to use you
to kill his brother.
What?
But his plan will fail.
The vampires will take his brother someplace totally safe,
safe from you
and Vlad Kossei.
Derek, stay here.
Tom?
Tom Tom!
Hello, Carrie.
Too slow again.
It's nothing. It's nothing. I'm fine.
As you can see,
your efforts to save your new friend have failed.
Just like the last time, what I want I take.
Vlad Kossei will kill you.
I'm not afraid of him.
I've defeated him once.
I'll defeat him again.
Not unless humans and vampires work together again.
You won't be needing this anymore, hunter.
Take her to my coffin.
- No! - Hold her!
- It's him! - lmpossible!
- No, he can't be! - It can't be him.
It's her people, vampire hunters.
No, I can feel him!
Get us out of here.
You stay here. You'll be safer here.
Vlad Kossei.
Vlad Kossei!
Here.
You should have killed me. Do you remember?
You had the chance.
Next time I will kill you.
Matt, Vlad Kossei is here to kill his brother.
You can't defeat him on your own.
Even now you think you can still save me.
You should have left the vampire hunters long ago.
You don't belong there. It's not your war.
Try to get a life, a real life.
Matt,
come with me.
You're not responsible for saving the world.
I always knew you would return,
I really did.
I realized a lot, all these years.
I realized you are my refuge.
Please, not like this.
I'm the heir of lmraz.
not in this shabby room.
Do you think it's him?
Vlad Kossei couldn't have found us.
We have to get to the ship.
It's Vlad Kossei.
Do you understand?
Go.
Matt,
It's all right.
I'm all right.
Matt, where did you take Tom?
It's too late.
He won.
It will be light soon.
Do you think I'll be able to see the sun
one last time?
You were right.
It's always daytime in my dreams.
Tom, you okay?
I thought I was gonna die in here.
You're not gonna die today, remember? I promised you.
Lucky thing no safety locks, huh?
Your brother is in here somewhere
and he wants to kill you.
He has to kill you.
It's the only way he can get his full power back.
That's absurd. He could have killed me the whole time.
No, he can't do it himself.
He has to find someone else to do it for him,
which means we have to kill everyone we see,
no matter who it is.
Get us out of here.
I think your brother's probably gonna be by the exit.
Do you remember that little room with the escape hatch?
He won't know about that.
Is that him?
Yeah.
Who are you?
You're never gonna get your brother.
Run!
Hey!
Shoot him!
No no no!
I don't know what you had planned, Vlad Kossei,
but it didn't work.
He wasn't your brother anymore.
We were holding this one captive.
He must have freed himself.
It means the others are dead.
Derek, Carrie was right.
She couldn't hold a vampire captive.
Where did she go?
You've been hit.
Tom, no.
God help me.
Come on, stay awake.
That's my truck. I'm gonna go get help.
Don't give up on me now, okay?
- Where's Keaton? - Have you seen our vampire?
- He's dead. - What?
Calm down. He's dead.
So is Vlad Kossei.
Vlad Kossei isn't dead.
Where did she go?
Don't be afraid.
Where did she go?
To the brother.
I think his name is Tom.
Damn!
I killed Vlad Kossei myself.
Both brothers were in Transylvania.
One of them injured himself on the bones on the altar.
It wasn't the architect.
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
It was the photographer, his brother.
He managed to hide the other brother
and secretly bring him here.
We wanted to join the other vampires
as soon as it was safe.
I'm one of the vampires
who was supposed to stop Vlad Kossei.
Do you understand?
We saw that you contacted him.
We couldn't trust anyone.
Wait here.
He played us all against each other.
We're just marionettes.
He needed me to kill his brother.
That's all he wanted.
Tom knew he'd be here today.
Too late.
Something's painted on the wall.
Yeah, I know.
He can't be far.
What are you thinking?
Derek, go home.
Try and get yourself a life,
a real life.
Hey, I thought that Vlad Kossei is invulnerable
now that his brother's dead.
Invulnerable or not,
I'm gonna get that bastard.
