In the year of our Lord. 1442.
The Sultan of Turkey made 1,000 boys a slave.
To strengthen his army.
These children were tortured without mercy.
Trained to kill without conscience.
Craving blood of all fighting against the Turks.
Among these boys...
there was a cruel warrior, so ruthless...
that armies retreat in fear when they hear his name.
Vlad the Impaler. "Son of the Dragon".
Tormented by his terrible deeds... he buried his past with the dead.
And returned to Transylvania to peaceful reign there.
His subjects called him Prince. I call him father.
But the world will know him as...
Dracula.
I left it where I found it.
Vlad, what do you think?
Bring it here.
This helmet is a scout. One of Hamza Bey's men.
What does one Turkish soldier alone here?
Turkish scouts never travel alone. This means that there are more.
And all they discover is conquered .
This is going downstream.
It comes from there. Broken Tooth Mountain.
The evening will be approaching soon. They now look for shelter.
Dumitru, go back to the castle. Tell the guards are ready.
What? I will not leave you behind.
If the Turks unannounced enter my land, means war.
What do you do when you find them?
Where princes negotiate good at, .
Nicolai, Andre, come along.
Come on.
Do you see anything?
It smells like feet.
They sit inside.
How do you know?
Bats do not come out during the day. Something bothers them inside.
Come on.
What is it?
Has bones shattered the ground. The Turks did not do this.
What is it?
We leave. Now.
The encounter with the creature was no accident.
Since four days dreaming each brother same.
I never believed if I myself saw it that night.
A creature that is surrounded by this sacred place .
The Romans had already predicted an apparition of a great evil.
A vampire.
Derived from the Greek word. 'Vry.
Beverage.
According to the story the beast was first a normal man.
That the demon summoned from the depths of hell.
To dealerships for his dark power.
The demon deceived him, by granting his wish.
He ​​was captured forever in the darkness of the cave.
Where he stays until he finds one another, to let him free.
Now you know its true face.
The people of Transylvania has been living in fear , now the Turks back.
Make me a promise of confidentiality.
Father, I've missed you.
I've missed you too.
My great soldier.
What a hug, but no kiss?
Are we going to discuss? - You always go away if you want to?
I've missed you.
What are you thinking?
Only at your incredible beauty.
The rest of the world is ashamed.
Do not listen to what your father says. Flattery is a cheap distraction from the truth.
She knows all my tricks.
You're a terrible liar. One of your most charming qualities.
You're just in time for bed.
Papa, we can ride horses tomorrow? - Of course.
I do not think so. - Why not?
Because tomorrow we celebrate that is our resurrected Lord.
Course. - What we call Easter Sunday.
What I thought so.
What has attacked you. Wolves?
I think so.
I just know that today I lost two good men.
There is something else.
I was the same age as Ingeras, when I was delivered to the Turks.
To fight for their interests.
If I'd never see one, I would be happy.
You're home now.
Almost as if you were gone long.
I just want to live in peace, that's all.
My fellow Transylvanians let's toast.
For the ten years of peace and prosperity, since our prince is back.
My old friend, in another 20 years.
Hamza Bey, welcome. We were not expecting you so soon.
Sultan Mehmed II sends greetings to you and your son.
Thank you. I have his tribute prepared.
It's not just his tribute to be discussed.
Turkey had no enemies here.
Did you not think we would be missing scouts notice a battalion?
I have not slain them.
It still lives in you, Lord Impaler.
Locked in a dark cage, hiding.
But you and I know that it is there.
The tribute to the Sultan. Take it and leave.
There is something else.
The Sultan wants 1000 boys to join the soldiers.
No. - Never.
That has not happened in years.
If a soldier is recruited as a child...
and is educated, only in this life...
kill them without question, and die without complaint.
Everyone will be aged 15 or older, fighting in Hungary.
And aged 10 to 14 years prepared for the siege of Vienna.
The Sultan expects law-abiding.
After all, it was not your father who gave you without a fight.
Soft, but they should just suffice.
Do not, please.
Do you know who I am?
You mean who you were.
You have no army and no choice, prince.
Follow our orders, or experiencing the consequences.
It has to happen now.
Courage, envy, and even love, there is a prince not worry about it.
Of interest is his duty to his people.
What does it mean to a royal hostage ?
My father gave me to the Sultan, and so showed his loyalty.
Were you afraid of them?
I wanted to make my father proud.
Do you need me to give away to the Sultan?
That was long ago.
You do not worry. Do you understand?
Good.
They would if I had denied murder I save every man 100 other people.
You said you were once like brothers.
Maybe if you ask him, that he shows his mercy.
Have you ever seen something like that?
Soon we are all Turks.
Lord Impaler, old friend of mine.
I miss that time together.
The only thing I missed was the coffee.
It is true that my father's palace was a cruel place for small children.
But ultimately you talk like us, pray like us, and fighting as us.
Now I do about it. I still get 1,000 boys.
Why are they there yet?
Mehmed, brother. I want to really assign all...
I need troops brother.
Take me.
You know I'm worth more than 1,000 boys.
Kings tremble if they knew this. - Then accept my offer.
I did When we were young, like to fight together.
But now that I'm Sultan I have nothing to one soldier.
I want my 1000 boys.
Plus one extra.
Your son will be brought up under my roof .
Like you, I was raised by my father.
You can keep your throne.
But General Ismail will on to see that my orders are obeyed .
Please. Do not.
So what is one son? If you're virile, you make many more.
You promised this would never happen .
The day when you asked my hand. Do you remember what I told you?
You replied no.
I knew what happened with the son of a queen.
You told me everything would be different, I could trust if I love you.
And I love you. - Trust me.
Do the war or will.
The big Impaler can not please his wife .
It's okay. They just say goodbye.
I will not let them disrupt my family.
Do not touch me.
I will not allow it.
I'll go.
I can do this.
Are you proud of me?
Of course, I am.
You have made a wise decision.
Although I am somewhat disappointed.
As I expected more resistance.
Run to your mother. - What?
Now.
Mehmed will put all the people of Transylvania penalties.
A child has no obligation to defend his country.
Bring the whole family to the castle.
Mehmed will immediately send troops.
The war will come. You can not protect us.
I'll find a way.
Vlad, where are you going?
To the horror in Broken Tooth. Who knows defeat the Turks.
I think one has to leave this place.
Most men smell fear. But I feel hope with you.
Keep the silver things away from me.
What man crawls into his own grave looking for hope?
A desperate man.
Turkey threatens to destroy my kingdom .
But I with thy power, stop them.
Red my people. Red my family.
How very noble, Lord Impaler.
Do you believe that Dracula, the son of the devil?
You are wrong.
It means son of the dragon, protector of the innocent.
Do your people how many innocents you murdered?
Hundreds?
If you lie again, I open thee from stomach to brain...
and feed me with your guts.
Thousands. - What did you feel when they were dead?
Shame, disgust, power?
Answer the question.
Nothing. I felt nothing. There is nothing more cruel than that.
Why waste blood without pleasure?
Because people are not afraid for the sword, but for samples.
They walk away. If I have a cup on the stick , then I save ten more.
Sometimes the world needs a hero.
Sometimes a sample is enough.
And you know what it is to a monster?
You have no idea.
But I will show it to you.
I was centuries caught at this place.
I'm stuck in this cave, condemned by those who betray me.
I've waited a long time for someone with your strength.
With your gifts, your will. A man, worthy of the dark...
and all his powers.
If I am your salvation, you are mine.
Drink, you'll feel my power. And the forces of 100 men.
The velocity of a falling star. Predominant on the night...
and all its creatures that see and hear through their senses.
Even your wounds heal naturally. - At what price?
Your thirst Once you drink blood for human blood insatiable.
But you can withstand three days...
then you return to your mortal state. After encountering my strength.
And maybe you than save your people.
And if I drink blood? - The consequences will be worse.
I will be liberated. I then darkness gave a worthy sacrifice.
You will be his vessel, as I am.
A scourge on this earth. Destined to destroy all...
You love your country, folk, even your wife and son.
I'd rather have me do them harm die. I'm really afraid of that - .
And I'll be free to let everyone who betrayed me my revenge loose.
And you will one day serve me, my pawn. In a game of deadly revenge.
This is not a game.
Is there a better way to endure eternity?
This is the ultimate game.
Light against darkness.
Hope against despair.
The fate of the world hangs in balance .
I will disappoint you with pleasure.
Drink.
Let the games begin.
What now?
Now you will die.
Papa.
Fire.
You're back. - Always.
Where you been? - Searching for the strength I needed.
You're back.
A good prince had give them.
A good prince had paid the price for peace.
But I give you my word, we will not be defeated.
They brought the war in our country, and that will come to cost them.
Fire.
The negotiations have failed.
Ask not what happened here tonight.
Know that I do everything possible so that we are safe.
But we will not be safe if we stay here.
We go to the monastery Cosia. It is located high in the mountains.
Too far for the guns.
This is our best chance of survival.
We take as many people with so that our absence is not noticed.
When Mehmed hear what happened here, he comes rushing us.
Message from Castle Dracula.
Vlad has thousands of troops defeated.
Send then 100,000. I lead them.
If I march through Europe, I have his head on my spear.
And his child at my side.
We can fight as our forefathers fought.
Using the forests and mountains around the Burgo Path.
Four or five months, maybe.
None months. I win this war in three days.
Why not two? Then we are really impressed.
What is it?
I need some fresh air.
I'm sorry.
Do not think I do not notice that you follow me.
You're wrong. I follow them. They recognize their own kind.
The night is their kingdom, and they crave blood.
Some say they live just as long as there are prey to devour. Are
Spare me your bullshit.
They say that one has escaped to the mountains and hiding behind the face of a man.
Then you know, if I was that man, that a knife is of little use.
Of course not. Why do you think I'm gone?
I know that we can run up to a certain point on this earth.
And that's not far enough.
Let me serve you.
Stay away from me.
Yes, master.
Fulfill your destiny.
Release me.
We have found it in the field. He ​​asked for you.
Message from Prince Vlad. He ​​hopes you enjoy the view.
Your scars are gone.
What happens to you?
I met evil in Brooken Touth.
No mind, but something else.
Stop. May God punish one who has done this to you.
This is my choice.
Is this the power you looking for?
Why?
Because I seem sent back to Mehmed, instead of our son.
You did this for us? - I am two days restored.
I have to resist.
What resist?
What resist, Vlad? Tell me.
Bloodlust.
And if you give?
Then I'll stay like this forever.
Not do that anyway?
I swear I will never admit it.
May God forgive you.
Vlad, Mehmed comes closer. We should move us.
You have to go to the monastery immediately.
Mehmed's men are close. Listen to me.
I'll get you in after sunset. I promise you.
I love you.
My husband agrees with your advice.
We will leave now, under your temporary command.
What? Where is Vlad going? - The Turks spy.
He insists that he explores himself. - I will not allow.
It's too late. He ​​is already underway.
Preparing to leave, everyone.
Tell the sultan where his enemies are buried.
Listen.
We're almost there.
Cover the rear.
Still closer to the gate.
Stay behind me.
Did the Turks you learned nothing? I saw what came from the direction of your sword.
Ingeras, running.
Where is your prince now?
My lady?
It's good.
Dumitru, listen.
Come here.
Never leave us again, Daddy.
Never. I will always watch over you.
To the gates.
Continue. This way.
You should never leave us.
For some reason also. - Quiet.
Let those men arise. Arise.
The Turks are coming. Prayers not. Protect these walls
Do you believe that we can do this?
Mehmet's troops from the north.
Double the guards of the fort. Shoot. Do it now.
What's that?
Something I had hoped never have to use it again.
Come.
The men say that Vlad has become a monster.
They fear that the rumors about Vlad's dark magic only fueling.
Only if we allow.
People can not be afraid of what they do not see.
Remember when you came to my bed for the first .
You wanted to pick up your sword and fight.
If my generals had you blindfolded...
you had never believed that you could unseen marching.
But you could do.
Marc Lord with me. You sultan accompanies you.
Prince Vlad the vampire is vulnerable in the daylight.
And for pure silver.
Yet the Holy Cross has no power over you.
This can only mean you have to seal your fate even with human blood.
Let me now murder, prince, please.
For your people do. Rumors spread about what you have become.
You can still repent.
You better go.
He's a vampire.
Listen. He is your prince. Give him a chance to explain.
Stop, please. - Kill the monster.
Satan lives in his heart.
Try to save his soul.
Take him to my room and close the door .
Let him not look outside. - Mama.
Is this your loyalty? Your gratitude?
Idiots. Do you think you're alive because you can fight?
Through me you are still alive.
For what I have done to save you.
This are not you.
Go back to your positions.
Believe me, there is still much to fear.
God, if you have not yet left me give me than the power to resist the darkness.
Let me pass this test one day.
I beg you.
Please.
Are you sick?
If you are sick, you may feel this better.
Thank you, come here.
Once you become a great leader.
You let others come in the first place.
When the Turks came for me, you stopped them.
Why are you still ill? By save me?
And I would do it all again.
They're almost here.
It is soon day. Then I lose my strength.
If we have not won the war already. - I fight by your side until death.
Your death will end my fight.
We have done the duty of every good parent. Our children protected.
Protected All children in the kingdom.
Maybe our destiny was not to govern in this life.
Are you our vows yet?
Look separate to this life and the next.
One is born of the latter.
Time is always too short for those who need it .
But those who love each other, do that forever.
Stay in position.
Keep your position.
Shoot.
Where is he?
Shoot.
Find your father.
Where is he?
Just keep running, if you want.
Mama.
Let me go.
No, please.
Please stay with me.
I can not do this without you.
They can still hold.
Drink my blood.
No, I can not take your life.
My life is already lost.
But the life of our son.
I love you.
Do it now.
Please.
Do it now.
Do you want revenge?
Drink.
I now know that hell is real.
So I know there is a heaven.
Neither this world nor the next can separate us.
I will honor your sacrifice and swear to protect our son.
Of all my countries, I like this the least.
Look east.
The sun would still have to already be on?
What is that?
The Prince. He's coming.
I always thought that there were too many yours.
Now there are not enough.
I have understood that you have a weak spot.
For silver.
Papa.
He is waiting for you.
You're slower, brother, and weaker.
Unpack it.
Is this the monster my men fearsome?
You get more tired.
Tell me, how long can you survive here?
Long enough to remove your name from the history books .
Papa.
Look at your father, Ingeras. Look how pathetic he is.
Stop, please.
If I pierce your heart with a stick...
then you die.
Like any other man.
An appropriate death for Vlad the Impaler.
Papa.
So I no longer hot.
My name is Dracula.
Son of the devil.
It's good. I'm here.
Old Man goat. - I do not feel old.
How many are still alive? - No one except your son.
He's just a distraction. We miss him.
What did I tell you?
I've repeated, from childhood Afaan.
A prince must protect its people. Do not.
Do not you understand? They are all our enemy now.
If he's gone, will you be free.
Have you forgotten who I am?
Let him.
Come with me, child.
Please. Reverse.
It needs to stop. Please.
I do not want to leave.
You should go with him.
Do not go away from him.
Remember that I will always love you .
Always.
Go.
Care of him.
No, Dad.
He is safe, Mirena now.
The Turks never conquered European capitals.
Prince Vlad Dracula was a hero.
But there are no pictures of him or images.
I am his legacy.
His sacrifice has taught me that even after the darkest night...
the sun will rise again .
Drink, master.
If the heart is strong enough, the soul is reborn.
With each new day.
In life after life.
Century after century.
Always.
It's beautiful.
The flowers, my lady.
My lady?
Where are you from? -, Far away.
Good night.
Look separate to this life and the next.
One is born of the latter.
It is my favorite poem.
It's about cravings. About a soul that begs for another.
My name is Mina.
Let's start with the games.
