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.

Ana: 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.
Ana 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 would doctors so
far from the city.
Careful! Take her
inside, quickly!
Ana! 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?
Ana, 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. Ana.
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]
Ana: 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
ease the symptoms of this
terrible affliction.
You can't help me.
No one can.
I'm already dead.
You are not dead.
You are suffering from
an ancient malady.
There is hope for
you if you will agree
to stay with us a while.
Let me devise a
treatment for you.
[foreign language]
We want to help you but you
must cooperate completely.
I'll loosen the 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 of it?
Yes.
What is this Bloodstone?
It's an ancient relic,
revered among the vampires.
A crystal said to drip
the blood of the saints.
According to legend,
a vampire who has the Bloodstone
can survive without k*lling.
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, Ana.
We must keep an open mind.
If the Bloodstone exists,
it would be a priceless
object for research.
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 feel shame.
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]
[phone rings]
[foreign language]
Detective Voda?
[foreign language]
The police want to
ask me some questions.
Please!
Don't tell them about me!
Don't be afraid.
Your secret is safe with us.
[menacing instrumental music]
[echoing footsteps]
[menacing instrumental music]
[door creaking]
Ash, my child.
Master!
I seek sanctuary.
Our dinner...
...is yours to share.
I am Radu Vladislas.
I am Serena.
She is my protegee, master.
Extraordinary creature.
Ash: Sit.
Drink blood with us.
What brings you to
Bucharest, master?
Vengeance.
Vengeance, master?
Against whom?
The fledgling who spurns me.
We will help you, master,
to hasten 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 grow lonely in Transylvania.
Perhaps I'll stay in Bucharest
and 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 seventh 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 a night,
but to you it is a courtesy.
You can do anything
you want with them.
Short of the k*ll.
[suspense instrumental music]
I will amuse myself
with your protegee.
Detective Voda?
Yeah.
I'm Ana 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 to the woman
k*lled 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 had patients
here waiting for me.
There was a man whose
job was to follow them,
a colleague of mine.
In pursuit an stolen artifact.
Lieutenant Marin of
the Bucharest police.
[screams in pain]
[car engine]
My master fears you,
Vladislas.
But I'm not afraid.
Ash is wise to fear me.
He seized this stronghold from me
in the turmoil of the great w*r.
And you should fear me too...
...because I'm a monster.
[mysterious instrumental music]
Serena: Destroy
Ash for me, Vladislas.
He keeps me imprisoned
here, in this den 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]
Caution, child.
'Tis a potent elixir.
[choking]
What's wrong with her?
As the dawn approaches,
the vampire reverts to a
state resembling death.
Please, k*ll 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.
You'll be safe here.
We'll seal the doors.
No light will penetrate.
Tonight we'll begin
your treatment.
[footsteps]
I apologize
for doubting you, Ion.
Can you really help her?
I can lessen the urgency
of her of compulsion,
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 the
reputation of a charlatan.
My anti-aging treatments
are quite effective, Ana.
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 filter the heroine
from their blood?
More than your friends at
the academy earn in a lifetime.
It's sad to see you
wasting your talents, Ion.
Have a drink, Ana.
[foreign language]
This will help you to relax.
Cheers.
Ana, you are more beautiful
now than you were then.
Don't try to flatter 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 a new 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, Ana.
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 closet!
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!
You 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 some
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 research?
We have sinned, Lupu,
masquerading as doctors.
The most important thing
is to gain possession
of the Bloodstone.
Ana. Ana.
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 tanning salon,
to weaken him.
Holy water bottled by
the monks of Lake Borgo,
who, by the way, make an
excellent Cabalie.
Stakes
to pierce his heart.
If Radu Vladislas comes
to claim his protégée,
we must be ready to
defend ourselves.
You said he cannot enter here.
Yes, but the girl,
who 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 great night, master.
Teach me the mysteries.
Ash does not appreciate
the pleasure of the hunt.
Return to you master.
You are 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 would 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 great night.
Follow him.
Discover his intentions.
Yes, master.
[door creaking]
[crickets chirping]
[suspense instrumental music]
[door knocking]
Marin: Hey! Help!
Help me!
Somebody hear me?
Hey!
Hey!
Somebody hear me!
Hey!
Ah!
Come to me, pretty one.
The time has come
to serve your master.
Now, tell me,
where's my fledgling?
I don't know!
I swear to you!
But at Stirbei
there is a witness!
Yes!
- Stirbei?
- Yes!
[tense instrumental music]
I'm here Michelle.
The first stage
of treatment
is to draw the
blood from your body,
purify and filter it,
and replace it once again.
I predict we should see
some immediate improvement.
It's necessary for us to work
while you are fully conscious.
I'm sorry but
there may be some discomfort.
[screaming in pain]
[suspense instrumental music]
You are Radu's pretty one.
No, 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 road.
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 am Doctor Ion Niculescu.
You hold my child
against her will.
She is in pain and cries
for my protection.
Bid me cross your threshold.
No, Vladislas.
You are not welcome here.
Release here to me and
I shall leave in peace.
Deny me and I will lay
your souls to waste.
She begged for sanctuary.
She wishes 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.
I delight in
such diversions.
I beseech you,
open your gate to me.
Do you possess the Bloodstone?
The Bloodstone
is my birthright.
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]
Ana: 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 will suffer dearly for this!
[overcome instrumental music]
Set me free!
My master needs me!
The sedative! Quickly!
[tense instrumental music]
[scream]
Get away from me!
[anxious instrumental music]
I'm sorry
to give you such a shock,
but it was necessary to
distract him from the trap.
Will he die like this?
The stake is the first step.
The vampire cannot move.
Next we have two choices:
cut off it's head,
which would 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 begged 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.
Our hearts beat as one.
Stand away!
Do not touch him!
Michelle, get away from him!
Save me and allow it
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 for this in suffering.
[menacing instrumental music]
We've lost her.
You wish to destroy
Radu Vladislas.
Who are you?
A kindred spirit.
Daughter of Ash.
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.
The tomb 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 warm, 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 labyrinth.
Go quickly to the sunlight
and render Radu's head to dust.
[mysterious instrumental music]

[tense instrumental music]
Buy yourself a new one.

[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
and 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 my spawn,
and he's dust!
So you are mine!
[trembling instrumental music]
[suspense instrumental music]
Your powers have evolved.
But your weakness
threatens to destroy you.
Michelle,
I know you 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 endanger 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 sun sets
we can ravish her
and seize the Bloodstone.
I am diabolical.
Aren't I, master?
Serena, you are sublime.
There is one
small complication, master.
Complication?
She's in league
with Doctor Blood.
Do they know 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 is spawned from
our blood, Serena.
But he has altered
himself with science.
Ash, my child.
Master.
Henceforth I claim
all the profits
from your worldly enterprises.
But master,
I've nutured our 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,
in the black plague.
You cannot force me
from my lair, Radu.
You are not my master.
You amuse me,
Serena.
You alone may stay.
[anxious instrumental music]
Your humanity is
yielding, fledgling.
I can see the
darkening in your eyes.
Your memories of mortality
will fade like a sweet dream.
You're mine forever more.
[anxious instrumental music]
Niculescu: You should
rest until daylight.
You have a difficult task ahead.
Thank you
for helping me, Ion.
You don't have to thank me, Ana.
[echoing] You drugged me.
[glass breaking]
[frenetic instrumental music]
[moves to slowed suspense

[echoing footsteps]
[moves to trembling
instrumental music]
Ana!
Help! Help! Someone!
Help me! Help me, please!
- Stop it, Ana!
- Help me!
Ana, stop it!
Ana!
- 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 m*rder*r!
No, I drink only
to sustain my life.
The woman you saw is
a willing partner.
Please, believe me!
I curse this fate!
Each day I pray to God
to make me mortal again.
To be feel the warmth of
the sun upon my face.
To let me survive one night
without the urge for blood.
Radu must be destroyed, Ana.
By a mortal saint.
Why me?
Why not Lupu?
He's a mortal too.
I'm a brain surgeon,
not a vampire hunter.
Trust me, Ana.
I promise to help you.
[hopeful instrumental music]
Where is the body bag?
I have it here.
If we are lucky,
I find Radu's resting place.
It may be necessary
to k*ll her too
if she is too deep in
Radu's thrall to be saved.
No.
With the Bloodstone
she has a chance.
We must find a way
for both of you
to share in its benefits.
Thank you, Ana.
b*ll*ts are powerless
against a vampire.
Even so, a false
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 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.
Ana, go that way.
I'll search back here.
Lupu, behind the church.
Rendezvous here
in one hour, yes?
Ana: Okay.
[suspense instrumental music]
Ion!
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 20 minutes
until sunset.
You are frightened, yes?
Yes.
[suspense instrumental music]
What is this place?
The ancient city
beneath the city.
[suspense instrumental music]
Ana: 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!
Feeling such a sweet
nectar through the blood.
Oh, Doctor.
You have earned a taste
of the Bloodstone.
[increasingly suspense
instrumental music]
Ah!
[owl hooting]
[foreign language]
[crickets chirping]
Ana: Lupu!
Help me, Lupu!
[tense instrumental music]
Lupu: Ana!
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]
Ana: Lupu! Doctor Lupu!
Doctor Lupu, Doctor Lupu!
Please, help!
Please, open the door!
Ah!
You can't desert me.
[frightening instrumental music]
What do you want from me?
Your life blood.
To extinguish the last embers
of my fledgling's humanity.
Ana: No!
Michelle!
[suspense instrumental music]
Surrender child
and I'll have mercy.
Challenge me and your life
will be an everlasting torment.
Michelle, help me please!
Reach out with
your senses, fledgling.
Revel in the perfume of fear.
No, please!
Radu: Drink, fledgling.
Purge your sadness in
a wellspring of blood.
Michelle, please!
Drink, fledgling!
Or I'll ravage her myself
and multiply your
nightmares a thousandfold.
Michelle, help me.
No!
This is a moment of weakness
you will never forget.
Ana: No! No!
No! No!
[trembling instrumental music]
[gagging] You're an [indecipherable]...
I'm your master...
[gasping in pain]
[vibrant instrumental music]
You can't destroy me.
[tense instrumental music]
It will be dawn soon.
Take his head out
into the sunlight.
You are coming
with me, Michelle.
We've 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've got 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.
Her fear is a rare perfume.
Ah! Ah!
Help! Someone help me!
Help!
Ah!
[vibrant instrumental music]
[Gravekeeper and Ana screaming]
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.
