A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
In the 15th Century, The Ottoman Empire that spread across Danube River
ruled over the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia.
The first blood-suckers in history were seen on these lands.
Unlike what was told to us in tales, they walk among us even in daylight.
They laugh like us, cry like us, breathe like us,
and every single one of them awaits the day
when they will take their freedom back from us.
"There is no plague in this Circassian land,
however, the witch trouble is worse than the plague.
It's common, especially in Moscow and Kazakh, Polish and Czech provinces.
God protects, yet it's true that there are monsters in Greek lands, and that is it."
Book of Travels, Seyahatname by Evliya Çelebi, 17th Century.
1879 THESSALONIKI CONSTANTA DUNGEON
Goran, they say you are friends with The Voivode.
Will he come to save us?
He will.
Let us out!
Let me out of here!
I am a human. I am innocent, I'm telling the truth!
I'm not a demon. Please let me out! I am innocent!
Let me out of here!
-Let me out! -Shut up!
Stop shouting.
If they hear you, they will come to torture you.
What is happening there?
Shut it!
Don't touch her!
Don't get close to her!
Let go of her!
You son of a bitch! Don't touch her!
Please don't touch me! Don't! Don't!
I will kill all of you! Every last one of you!
-Let me go! -Don't touch her!
-No, no, please don't! -Let her go!
-Let go of her! -No, no!
Come at 10.00 p.m., as we said.
Don't be late.
On my way.
You are even more beautiful than I expected.
Dmitry.
Not yet.
What are we waiting for?
Did you come here to take revenge...
or to dig your own grave?
The vampire who turned you is the most powerful man in İstanbul.
He is not living in this city, he owns this city.
Don't think it will be as easy as you think to kill Dmitry
and become human once again.
Then you must have a plan.
The most simple and effective plan in history.
We will be patient...
and wait for the right time.
First you need to gain his trust.
You need to get close to him for that.
I wasn't paying a compliment by saying you are beautiful.
It matters how you look.
Because it will matter for Dmitry, that's how--
I won't have to go to him.
Because he will come to you.
So, what is the plan?
Dmitry owns a night club.
Sessiz Karanlık.
Every vampire in the city gathers in there.
You will be there tomorrow at 11.00 p.m. sharp.
-What about you? -I will, too.
But for now, we won't know each other.
Tomorrow at 11.00 p.m. at Sessiz Karanlık it is.
Don't be late.
Karmen.
Why are you helping me?
Maybe I'll tell you one day.
For now, let your rage feed you...
and let mine feed me.
Hey, Big Memo!
Can I have it?
What are you going to do with it?
When you grow up, all the vampires will be yours.
-All right? -All right.
How are you hitting this? Let it go. Give it here.
Okay? Go and play now.
Sercan!
Are you ready, asshole?
I was born ready. Are you ready?
Here, chug it, chug it.
It burns.
Put it over my head. Bro, come here, there is a fight!
Can you see? How many fingers am I holding up?
-Motherfucker! -Fuck your mother!
-Take it. -Hand me the handle, damn it.
I don't give you anything but the handle.
-Go already! -I am starting!
Go!
If you hit my hand, I'll fuck your mom up, Şişman!
I'll make your mom kiss my ring, just you wait!
-Come on man. -Easy! Be slow!
I can't see
but I can smell your ass on fire.
Who are we betting on?
We bet on Şişman.
Everyone will bet on Şişman one day.
I will bet on you as well.
Come here.
I bet on Turgut.
You are the only real man here, Memo.
-What the hell? -Look what you've done!
-Fuck you! -Fuck you!
You moved your hand, faggot!
Şişman, don't piss me off!
-Fuck off! -Son of a bitch!
Sercan, what is happening?
Sercan! Sercan!
Let go!
Go!
Grab the kids!
Turgut! Take the kids!
Brother Sercan!
We have six still alive. We cleared up the fallen.
There is no one left.
Let me go!
Help!
Let me go! Somebody help me!
Mom...
Welcome, Dmitry.
Please forgive me for not welcoming you in to my office again.
It wouldn't be very good to be seen with you,
because of your special circumstances.
What is this about?
It is about some footage I received today.
There has been a murder involving your kind.
Unfortunately.
As per our agreement, I remember putting strict conditions
on where you and your kind can feed from.
Correct me if I am wrong.
We also said,
if someone attempts to feed in an inappropriate place,
they shouldn't leave a mark.
We have made the necessary arrangements to prevent the footage from going viral.
But I still need to warn you.
And you need to warn the vampire who did this in your own way.
I feel like you have complaints about us, President.
Is that so?
It is sad you can't taste this.
This place makes the best soup in the world.
Do you know why?
Because we hired the chef who makes the best soup in the world.
However, if one day he strays from the recipe
and adds spices of his own liking...
we will simply fire the chef.
Now...
we had a deal.
We were to provide you with feeding grounds,
and in return, you were to clean up our dirty business.
If you dare to ignore our agreement...
we will fire you all.
Your ancestors would make this a lot better.
I'm afraid, there is too much salt in it.
You need to take care of yourself, President.
Because death can find your kind very suddenly.
Stop it, motherfucker.
Sit down!
They took Memo, God damn it!
They took that little boy and we still couldn't do a thing.
The guys fucked us up.
It boils my blood. Will it go on like this?
We need to do something, Serco.
Sercan?
Sercan doesn't give a fuck about us.
We will kidnap one of the Rotten.
The hell? Are we raiding their place?
Sessiz Karanlık?
Let's go and fuck them all up! Smash the whole place down!
They will draw blood from you.
Fuck off, stupid bitch!
We can't raid the place.
However, if we take away one of them...
Don't be ridiculous.
Are we going to kidnap a fucking vampire?
Even if we kidnap one, what, are we going to stick it up our asses?
We will show them to everyone.
Why are those faggots feeding from this God forsaken place?
They are afraid to come out.
Exactly.
If we kidnap one of the Rotten and show them to a journalist...
they will be fucked.
Are we ready, Selo?
We will fuck them all, motherfuckers.
What are you looking at? What is in there?
Any news about the dagger?
Nothing came out.
Will you talk to Numel?
Dmitry?
What is wrong with you today?
Go back to the car.
I won't.
This is a nice sword.
Looks really good in this dump.
There is another place it will look really good.
Numel...
What do you want?
It seems you still have resentment towards me.
Maybe it's because every time you drop by trouble follows you?
Coincidence.
Dmitry.
Have you ever heard of...
the Zodiac Sign of Blood?
I had to because of you.
You put such a price on that dagger
that even the kids are looking for it in the antique shops.
But if you are asking if I have it...
I don't.
I know you don't have it.
Are you really believing this fairy tale?
I mean...
When the planets line up in the Zodiac Sign of Blood
you will kill yourself with the dagger of the first vampire
and wake up to the ultimate immortality.
This is too much, even for you.
This isn't a matter of belief...
I saw that dagger.
What do you want from me?
To be by my side.
While you turn the world into Hell?
The world already is a hell.
All I'm going to do is to replace the executive staff.
Only the ones who deserve it, will keep the gates of Hell.
And this is all going to happen thanks to the dagger.
These are going to happen anyway.
With or without the dagger.
The dagger will only speed things up.
Tell me...
are you with me or not?
Never.
You can't stay alive in this war without siding with someone.
I'm not siding with anyone.
But you are living among the humans.
You drink stale blood from hospitals
in order to not harm them.
Humans...
My old friend...
humans don't deserve your loyalty.
-I'm not your friend. -Yes, you are.
And you will stay my friend,
until I say otherwise.
And when this war begins,
I will find all those beloved humans of yours,
and I will kill them one by one with my own hands.
Then you'll see what it's like to not side with anyone.
They've been torturing our kind for a thousand years.
Now, I'll torture them.
Let's see what you'll do then...
There he is.
Welcome back, my old friend.
-I'm sorry... -No, please.
Stay.
I had ordered an antique, and we were testing that with Numel.
Please, come in.
I guess, we scared you.
It's okay.
What is it, Elif?
My refrigerator broke down. The cake...
-Let me have that. -Sorry to bother you.
It's fine. I can keep it for as long as you want.
But now, if you'll excuse me...
Elif.
We have a disagreement with Numel.
Maybe, you can help us.
What do you think Numel?
Sorry, Elif, my friend is a bit of a psychopath...
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Thank you.
-Nice to meet you. -Yeah.
Consider my offer once again.
And what if I don't?
You've known me long enough to know the answer.
Take care of yourself, my friend.
I took the cake and left one piece for you. Thank you. Elif.
Remember who you are.
If you don't side with me,
you'll lose everyone around you one by one.
Did you like what you saw?
Not really. I've seen better.
And you'll see a lot more.
Like what?
You'll see one day.
For now, just try to clear the table once you finish eating.
All right. I'll be careful.
You weren't careful.
And it wasn't a good start for a guest.
It's Mia.
What business do you have in İstanbul, Mia?
Don't you think İstanbul needs a heroine?
What is your super power?
Being able to tell the difference between the bloods of good and bad people?
This is not a good start for a host.
Dmitry.
What kind of a man would criticize the taste of a guest they welcome?
Be careful, Mia.
You are in a strange place in strange times.
Welcome to my İstanbul.
You're fucking us up with that smoke, Selo.
Enough with this!
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do about what?
What are we going to do about these fucking Rotten?
We are shitting ourselves,
thinking they will come out of anywhere.
Okay.
All right. We are ready, too.
They are ready at the other end.
Good.
Doesn’t it look like Selo is giving a blowjob to a robot?
I didn't want to say it, but I had no other choice.
Do you want to see it?
Do you want to see who I am?
This is it!
Welcome home, my old friend.
Don't!
Numel!
Like we discussed.
Block both ends of the road.
Stop blabbering. There is a Rotten coming through.
I'm going to fuck them up.
Are you ready?
