Michelle: They thought he was dead.
My sister, Becky, put me in a body bag
to protect me from the sun.
Mr. Thompson, from the Embassy, helped her.
They were so frightened they forgot
about the Bloodstone.

Anna: Can you hear me?
Don't be afraid.
Try to stay still.
You've had an accident.
I'm a doctor, help is on the way.
(phone dialing)
(busy signal)
I'll take you to a clinic myself.
(anxious instrumental music)
Doctor Nicolescu, please.
It's an emergency.
(heart rate monitor)
Doctor.
Anna Lazar is at the gate, she says it's an emergency.
Tell the guards to let her in.
I won't do the things
that good doctors so far from the city.
Careful! Take her inside, quickly!
Anna! What's wrong?
Was it there an accident?
Yes! This girl was the only survivor!
(foreign language)
This bag is for corpses.
Yes, but when I opened the zipper
she went into a violent paroxysm.
(gasping for air)
(frenetic instrumental music)
(moves to suspense instrumental music)
What's wrong with her?
Anna, this is a vampire.
A vampire?
Impossible!
You'll see when the sun goes down.
(gasping for air) (frenetic instrumental music)
Where am I?
Please, don't be afraid.
We want to help you.
I am Doctor Lazar. Anna.
This is Doctor Nicolescu.
You were in a terrible accident in an Embassy car
with a man and two women.
My sister.
Becky.
Where is she?
I'm sorry but... she did not survive.
No!
Aah! Turn it off!
(Michelle screams in pain)
Anna: Please!
Can you tell us what happened?
This poor child has been ravaged by a vampire.
A vampire?
I don't believe it.
Can you tell us his name?
Radu Vladislas.
Radu Vladislas is a figment of folklore.
Tell me trust worthy child,
have you tasted blood?
Yes.
Nicolescu: Don't be ashamed.
I can help you.
Is the symptoms of this terrible affliction.
You can't help me.
No one can.
I'm already dead.
You are not dead.
You're suffering from an ancient malady.
There is hope for you if you will agree
to stay with us a while.
Let me devise at reatment for you.
(foreign language)
We want to help you but you must cooperate completely.
I'll use them bonds
if you promise to behave yourself.
Yes! Please!
You must be completely honest with us.
You were initiated by Radu Vladislas, correct?
Yes.
Where is Radu now?
I don't know but he'll find me!
He won't let me get away!
(shivering instrumental music)
Nicolescu: Don't be afraid.
A vampire must be invited
or it cannot enter sacred ground.
This clinic was once a monastery.
Radu cannot enter here.
You are safe from him
as long as you stay within these walls.
Tell me something, does Radu have the Bloodstone?
Yes.
Have you tasted a bit?
Yes.
What is this Bloodstone?
It's an ancient relic, revered among the vampires.
A crystal said to drip with the blood of the saints.
According to legend,
a vampire who has the Bloodstone
can survive without killing.
It's true, yes?
Yes.
But there's a dark side to its power.
It's driving Radu mad!
This is crazy.
We're scientists, Anna.
We must keep an open mind.
If the Bloodstone exists,
it would be a precious object for search.
You are not the first vampire to seek my help.
I will do my best to ease your suffering.
If it becomes necessary to take some blood, believe me,
there is no reason to be ashamed.
I can provide blood for you.
It's not a problem.
Please.
(sobbing)
Do not despair.
In time I can free you of this terrible desire.
(phone rings)
(foreign language)
Detective Voda?
(foreign language)
The police wants to ask me some questions.
Please! Don't tell them about me!
Don't be afraid, you're secret is safe with us.
(menacing instrumental music)
(echoing footsteps)
(menacing instrumental music)
(door creaking)
Ash, my child.
Master!
I seek sanctuary.
Oh, dinner.
It's yours to share.
I am Radu Vladislas.
I am Serena.
She is my protegee, master.
Extraordinarily clinching.
Ash: Sit.
Take blood with us.
What brings you to Bucharest, master?
Vengeance.
Vengeance, master?
Against who?
Fledgling who spurns me.
We will help you, master,
to haze in your safe return to Transylvania.
Our wealth has multiplied.
It is easy to profit from the corruption of mortals.
The casino and brothel
keeps us well supplied with income.
And victims.
I'd grow an old man in Transylvania.
Perhaps I will stay in Buchare stand reclaim my old things.
As you desire.
I require a resting place.
The seventh level is off limits to you.
From this day forth.
The seven level is in ruins.
There is better lodging in the Western quarter.
The seventh level pleases me.
As you wish.
I can provide a willing mortal for your pleasure.
I normally ask ten thousand for night,
but to you it is a courtesy.
You can do anything you want with them.
Short of the guilt.
(suspense instrumental music)
I will amuse myself with your protegee.
Detective Voda?
Yeah.
I'm Anna Lazar.
This is my colleague, Doctor Nicolescu.
Thanks for seeing me, Doctor.
I have just a few questions.
The victims were in Transylvania
searching for a young American woman,
sister of the woman killed in the wreck.
Was there anyone else?
Any cars or people nearby?
No, there was no one else.
Why did you leave the scene of the accident?
I waited quite some time, detective.
Where were you?
I had, other business.
There was nothing I could do for the victims.
I have patient shere waiting for me.
There was a man whose job was to follow them,
a colleague of mine.
And pursuit an stolen artifact.
Lieutenant Marin of Bucharest police.
(screams in pain)
(car engine)
My master fears you, Vladislas.
But I'm not afraid.
Ash is wise to fear me.
He sees to the stronghold from me
and return mortal to grave war.
I knew you'd fear me too
because I'm a monster.
(mysterious instrumental music)
Serena: Destroy Ash for me, Vladislas.
He keeps me imprisoned here, in this din of evil.
It is forbidden to destroy our kindred.
You could reclaim your stronghold.
Rule over Bucharest.
You are diabolical, Serena.
Do you desire to taste the blood of the saints?
Yes, but I'm frightened.
I'll let you drink if you promise to serve me.
I'm yours, master.
(feverish instrumental music)
Poison, child, to support an elixir.
(choking)
What's wrong with her?
Is the down of the urges,
the vampire limbers to a state of his every death.
Please, kill me.
I can't go on like this.
Give us a chance to help you, Michelle.
I'm sorry, but I must draw some blood from you
in this moment of surrender.
(mysterious instrumental music)
I'll put my laboratory to work on this immediately.
We'll be safe here, whether it's in dark,
no light will penetrate.
Tonight we'll begin your treatment.
(footsteps)
I apologize for doubting you, Ion.
Can you really help her?
I can listen the urgency of her of compassion.
Make it possible for her to move about in daylight,
but she will always be a vampire.
Let's rest a few hours.
If this child is the fledgling of Radu Vladislas,
Radu will come to us.
We must be ready to meet him.
(mysterious instrumental music)
Please, sit.
This will help you to relax.
(foreign language)
Cheers.
What's happened to you, Nicu?
You've gained there putation of a charlatan.
My anti-aging treatment sare quite effective, Anna.
Even if they are dismissed by my former colleagues.
Patients come to me from around the world.
How much do rock stars pay you
to fit all the heroine from their blood?
More than your friends at the Academy could in lifetime.
It's sad to see you wasting your talents, Ion.
Have a drink, Anna.
(foreign language)
This will help you to relax.
Cheers.
Anna, you are more beautiful now than you were then.
Don't try to flirt with me with superficial cliches, Ion.
I'm a grown woman now.
I regret sometimes how our love story ended.
It was not a love story, Ion.
And it ended as it began,
with you seducing on your student.
I beg your pardon.
It was you who seduced me.
It was a silly misadventure.
I'm so tired.
Wake me in a few hours.
(tense instrumental music)
Forgive me, Anna.
But I find you...
irresistible.
(menacing instrumental music)
Any word from Lieutenant Marin?
No, sir.
We checked his apartment.
He hasn't been there for days.
(foreign language)
Lieutenant Marin.
Lieutenant Marin!
Have you been drinking, Lieutenant?
I, I don't know.
I'm sick.
I don't know what's happened.
You were supposed to spy on the Americans.
Now everyone is dead, and you're drunk in the tub!
Mel Thompson from Embassy is dead?
I had to go out to Stirbei in the middle of the night
to question a witness.
It's your case!
It is you who should do the work!
One more mistake Lieutenant and you are fired!
(tense instrumental music)
(foreign language)
If she drank from the Bloodstone,
we should find someone with unusual sequences
in the DNA.
Find the Bloodstone's DNA,
and we may find the secret to eternal youth.
Ion, are we trying to cure this girl?
Or use her for our search?
We have sent a simple masquerade in us doctors.
The most important thing
is to gain position of the Bloodstone.
Anna, Anna.
Wake up.
What time is it?
There is something I want to show you.
Our patient will be waking soon.
What's this?
Some lamps from our taming zone,
tweaking him.
Holy water bottled by the monks of Lake Borgo,
who by the way make an excellent complement.
Stakes
to pierce his heart.
If Radu Vladislas comes to claim his protegee,
we must be ready to defend ourselves.
You said he cannot enter here.
Yes, but the girl was invited in by me.
Is as great a threat to us as Radu.
This is barbaric.
I won't let you drive a stake into her heart.
If it comes necessary you won't try to stop me.
(suspense instrumental music)
Take me into the grave night, master.
Teach me the mysteries.
Ash does not appreciate the pleasure of the hunt.
Return to you master, you're not my fledgling.
(suspense instrumental music)
We must destroy him, master.
He is evil incarnate.
Do not meddle in his affairs, Serena.
He is insane.
He possesses the Bloodstone.
The Bloodstone?
Are you sure?
We can destroy him and claim it for ourselves.
Radu is my master, Serena.
But he's not mine.
It will give me pleasure to watch him suffer.
You are no match for him.
We must find a mortal with the will to destroy him.
(door creaking)
(menacing instrumental music)
Here is the key to the grave night.
Follow him.
Discover his intentions.
Yes, master.
(door creaking)
(crickets chirping)
(suspense instrumental music)
(door knocking)
Marin: Hey! Help!
Help me!
Somebody hears me?
Hey!
Somebody hear me!
Hey!
Ah!
Come to me, pretty one.
Your time has come to serve your master.
Now, tell me, where's my fledgling?
I don't know!
I swear to you!
But at Stirbeit here is a witness!
Yes!
- Stirbei? - Yes!
(tense instrumental music)
The first stage of treatment
is to draw all the blood from your body.
Purify and filter it, and replace it one again.
I predict we should see some immediate improvement.
It's necessary for us to work
while you are fully conscious.
And so they backed
through there maybe some discomfort.
(screaming in pain)
(suspense instrumental music)
You are Radu's pretty one.
No, no!
No!
(suspense instrumental music)
All signs are stable.
Excellent.
Tell me.
She has survived the first tribulation.
How do you feel, Michelle?
I feel peaceful.
This is a good sign.
But don't be surprised if the benefit is temporary.
I am Radu Vladislas.
This is a private route.
What is your business here?
I demand an audience with the master of this house.
Doctor, there is a man outside
insistent to speak with you.
His name is Radu Vladislas.
He's come for me!
Niculescu: Please!
Try to remain calm.
There is no way he can enter here.
Lupu, the sedative.
(anxious instrumental music)
I am obligated to speak with him.
(trembling instrumental music)
Radu Vladislas.
I'm Doctor Ion Niculescu.
You hold my child against her will?
She's in pain and cries for my protection.
Let me cross your threshold.
No, Vladislas.
You are not welcome here.
Release here to me and I should leave in peace.
Deny me and I will lay your souls to waste.
She begged for sanctuary.
She wish she is to be mortal again.
She wishes for the impossible.
She belongs to me.
No!
She's in my care now.
Leave her alone or I'll call the police!
Challenge me at your own peril.
Like the lighting.
Such diversions.
I'll be siege you.
Open your gate to me!
Do you possess the Bloodstone?
The Bloodstone is my birth right.
Who came before you?
Ash, the music lover.
I am before Ash.
Please, Vladislas.
Let me see it.
Give me a few drops of its essence
in the name of science.
I have lived a thousand years.
Witnessed the progress of man.
I have a weak spot in my heart for the sciences.
Open your gate and I will give you three drops.
But I warn you, Doctor,
the mysteries of the Bloodstone
cannot be illuminated by science.
(suspense instrumental music)
Anna: No!
No, Ion!
Are you crazy?
You promised to protect us!
No! Please, no!
Don't do this! Ion!
No, Ion! Please!
Don't let him! No, Ion!
(vibrant instrumental music)
Master!
(vibrant instrumental music)
You are powerless before me!
Get down on your knees!
Give me the Bloodstone!
The Bloodstone now!
You won't return a daylight for this!
(overcome instrumental music)
Set me free!
My master needs me!
The sedative! Quickly!
(tense instrumental music)
(scream)
Stay away from me!
(anxious instrumental music)
I'm sorry to give you such a shock,
but it was necessary to dissect him for the trap.
Will he die like this?
The stake is the first step.
The vampire cannot move.
Next we have two choices:
cut off his head,
which should be too merciful for Radu.
Or leave it to agonize
until the Sun comes up and renders it to dust.
Michelle: Master!
No!
Michelle, go back inside!
I beg you to destroy me.
No, Michelle!
You are free of him.
Vadislas is dying.
No!
(overcome instrumental music)
Radu: Michelle.
My blood runs within you.
What's beat us one.
Stand away!
Do not touch him!
Michelle, get away from him!
Save me and I'll allow to set you free.
(tense instrumental music)
Now, prove yourself fledgling.
Let there be a bloodbath.
I saved you life, Radu.
I've earned my freedom.
You will pay forthis in suffering.
(menacing instrumental music)
(foreign language)
You wish to destroy Radu Vladislas.
Who are you?
A kindred spirit.
Done to ravage.
I will tell you where he sleeps if you promise
to destroy him before this day is done.
Where does he sleep?
Tell us.
Not you.
You must destroy him.
Me? Why?
Because you wish the save the life of Radu's fledgling.
They sleep in Belus Cemetary, but two of Vladislas.
From the year of 1875.
Here is the key.
The sarcophagus takes you underground
to the ancient city.
Go south, down seven staircases.
There you will find Radu's resting place.
You are one pretty one.
You have the passion to prevail.
Surprise him while he sleeps.
Drive a stake through his heart.
Cut off his head.
Take it back the way you came.
Do not hesitate
or explore the elaborately.
Go quickly to the sunlight
and render Radu's head to dust.
(mysterious instrumental music)
(foreign language)
(tense instrumental music)
Buy yourself a new one.
(bell rings)
(religious piano music)
(foreign language)
(menacing instrumental music)
(foreign language)
(menacing instrumental music)
(foreign language)
(frightening instrumental music)
Michelle?
I can save you from this torment
if you come to me of your own free will.
Never.
Will we share my sanctuary?
The sacred mysteries?
Drink of the Bloodstone.
I'm your master, you cannot deny me!
Stefan was my master.
Stefan infected you with his tragic weakness.
His love for mortals.
But Stefan was much more,
and he's dust!
So you are mine!
(trembling instrumental music)
(suspense instrumental music)
Your powers have reborn.
But your weakness threatens to destroy you.
Michelle,
I know your despair.
Surrender your ties to mortality
and all your pain will disappear.
(tense instrumental music)
Tomorrow, master,
when the Sun is high, Vladislas will be dust.
You are a never ending source of joy to me, Serena.
How will the deed be done?
I found a mortal with the will to destroy him.
You conspired with a mortal?
I gave her the key to Vladislas tomb.
You endangered us, Serena.
Fear not, master.
I sabotaged the mechanism.
The key works from the outside
but it's broken from within.
She will destroy Vladislas for us
and be trapped in the labyrinth.
And when the Sunsets we can ravish her
and seize the Bloodstone.
I am diabolical.
Aren't I , master?
Serena, you are sublime.
There is ones mall complication, master.
Complication?
She's in league with Doctor Blood.
Today?
No, of the Bloodstone?
Yes, Doctor Blood tried to
steal it from Radu.
But tell me master,
if the Doctor is descended from our bloodline,
how is it he can stand in the light
and touch holy water with his bare hands?
He spawned from our blood, Serena.
But he's altered himself with science.
Ash, my child.
Master.
Henceforth I claim all the profits
from your well-being and surprises.
But master!
I've netted to the holdings for a hundred years.
I have earned your generosity.
I generously give you until full moon
to evacuate my stronghold.
You and your fledglings must find a new sanctuary.
(tense instrumental music)
The blade of Laertes.
The vampire slayer is mine.
(tense instrumental music)
Radu: You stole it from me, Ash.
And then black played.
You cannot force me, Radu.
You are not my master.
You amuse me,
Serena.
You know my stay.
(anxious instrumental music)
Your ravage is yielding, fledgling.
I can see the darkening in your eyes.
You're memories of mortality will fade like a sweet dream.
Your mind forever more.
(anxious instrumental music)
Niculescu: We should rest until daylight.
You have a difficult task ahead.
Thank you for helping me, Ion.
You don't have to thank me.
(echoing) You drugged me.
(glass breaking)
(frenetic instrumental music)
(moves to slowed suspense instrumental music)
(echoing footsteps)
(moves to trembling instrumental music)
Anna!
Help! Help! Someone!
Help me! Help me, please!
- Stop it, Anna! - Help me!
Anna, stop it!
Anna!
- Please, listen. - No!
You're a vampire.
I'm not a vampire, I'm human too.
You must listen to Ion.
Please, listen to me.
I didn't choose to be a vampire.
It was forced upon me.
You're a murderer!
No, I drink only to sustain my life.
The woman you saw is a willing partner.
Please, believe me!
I curses this fate!
Each day I pray to God to make me mortal again.
To be feel the warmth of the sand upon my face.
To let me survive one night without the urge for blood.
Radu must be destroyed, Anna.
By a mortal saint.
Why me?
Why not Lupu?
He's a mortal too.
I'm a mere surgeon, not a vampire hunter.
Trust me, Anna.
I promise to help you.
(hopeful instrumental music)
Where is the body bag?
I have it here.
If we are lucky, I can find Radu's resting place.
It may be necessary to kill her too
if she is too deep in Radu's control to be saved.
No.
With the Bloodstone she has a chance.
We must find a way for both of you
to sharing its benefits.
Thank you, Anna.
Bullets are powerless against a vampire.
Even so, the mere sense of security
is better than no security at all.
(suspense instrumental music)
Niculescu: Dammit!
We don't have time for this.
(foreign language)
Show me respect for the dead.
I'm one of the dead people,
so don't tell me what to do.
It's afternoon already.
Isn't there another way in?
This is the only way.
(suspense instrumental music)
Look for a tomb inscribed Vladislas, 1875.
Anna, go that way.
I'll search back here.
Lupu, behind the church.
We rendezvous here in one hour, yes?
Anna: Okay.
(suspense instrumental music)
Ion!
Ion, I found it!
Good.
Let's go to work.
(uneasy instrumental music)
You keep the key.
Open the door when you hear us calling.
Don't worry.
I'll be waiting.
If we are not out at nightfall,
send for the police.
(suspense instrumental music)
One hour and 30 minutes until sunset.
You are frightened, yes?
Yes.
(suspense instrumental music)
What is this place?
The ancient city beneath the city.
(suspense instrumental music)
Anna: We must be 300 feet down.
Niculescu: I think we are almost there.
(suspense instrumental music)
Ah!
You'll make a pretty plaything.
Ah!
(Radu screaming)
(trembling instrumental music)
Michelle!
(trembling instrumental music)
She's yours, Vladislas.
I brought her for you as a gesture of good will.
Ah!
No!
That's right! Struggle!
Fear me, child!
Fear is such a really neat to do to the blood.
Oh, Doctor.
You want a tasteof the Bloodstone?
(increasingly suspense instrumental music)
Ah!
(owl hooting)
(foreign language)
(crickets chirping)
Anna: Lupu!
Help me, Lupu!
(tense instrumental music)
Why are you here?
Alone at night?
I'm praying for the departed.
For a lost one.
Don't lie to me, mortal.
The key in your hand belongs to me.
No!
Ah!
(anxious instrumental music)
Anna: Lupu! Doctor Lupu!
Doctor Lupu, Doctor Lupu!
Please, help! Please, open the door!
Ah!
Can't you just save me?
(frightening instrumental music)
What do you want from me?
Your life blood.
This thing which allows us to impulse
of my fledglings' humanity.
Anna: No!
Michelle!
(suspense instrumental music)
Surrender child!
And I'll have mercy, chance be in your life
will be an ever lasting torment.
Michelle, help me please!
Reach out with senses, fledgling.
Reveling the perfume of fear.
No, please!
Radu: Drink, fledgling.
Pour your sadness in a whispering of blood.
Michelle, please!
Drink, fledgling!
Or I'll ravage her myself
and multiply your nightmares a thousand forth.
Michelle.
No!
This is a moment of weakness you will never forget.
Anna: No! No!
No! No!
(trembling instrumental music)
(mumbling, gagging)
(screaming in pain)
(vibrant instrumental music)
You can't destroy me.
(iron hitting)
(tense instrumental music)
It will be dawn soon.
Take his head out into the sunlight.
You are coming with me, Michelle.
He's got the Bloodstone.
You're going to be alright now.
(flames burning)
I curse you, Vladislas.
(tense instrumental music)
Come on, Michelle.
We have to hurry!
I can't.
The sun is rising.
You have to keep moving, Michelle.
We have to get you out of here.
(tense instrumental music)
Michelle: No, please don't.
I can't go on.
No!
We are almost there.
(tense instrumental music)
Doctor Lupu! Doctor Lupu open the door, please!
Your friend,the doctor, is dead.
(tense instrumental music)
Where is the Bloodstone?
Help! Someone help me!
She's a pretty one, master.
The fear is a rare perfume.
Ah! Ah!
Help! Someone help me!
Help!
Ah!
(vibrant instrumental music)
(Gravekeeper and Anna screaming at the same type)
Don't move, Michelle!
(foreign language)
(resolution instrumental music)
Michelle: At last, I was in peace.
In time, the Bloodstone yielded its mysteries to me.
Radu Valdislas was returned to dust.
(mysterious instrumental music)
