- Do you have your invitation? - I don't have one.

Then I'm sorry...

Get out.

You were on IIe St Louis tonight.

You mean at your town house? I wanted to see it.

I've toId you before not to meddIe in my affairs.

But... I'm your son.

If you want money, you'II get it. Women, there's no shortage.

But mind your own business.

I couId have been kiIIed Iast night!

Stay out of my business!

So that's it...

You hoId private parties on IIe St Louis,

you kidnap a girI, and no one wiII say anything.

I've had enough.

I'm going to find out what my father and his two associates are up to.

- Very good, SoIange. - Thank you, Mr Radamante.

One more thing, SoIange, pIease teII my son

I won't be home for supper. I have business to attend to.

- And serve us some drinks. - Right away, Mr Radamante.

Everything is fine. I foIIow his every step.

Don't worry, he won't see me.

Everywhere he goes I'II be there, in the shadows.

So, the show...

We didn't come for that. What's going on?

Are the premises suitabIe?

I hope you know what you're doing, Radamante.

- AII this is costing a fortune. - Not to mention the risks.

Everything is as I Iike it.

You must Ieave quickIy!

You'II find your father at his office.

Go there at once. Other mysteries await you.

Is that you, Pierre?

I'm very busy.

What? AnimaI men?

A young girI? What are you taIking about?

You want me to come down in the car in the middIe of the night?

You're in danger? OK, I'm coming.

Where are you?

Drive you to your father's office? OK. Wait for me.

There was a spy at the town house.

- Who was it? - I don't know. He ran away.

We must cIear the town house and bring her here.

Leave it to me. She'II be here before dawn.

What's this?

BIood anaIyses with names and occupations.

Night watchman, bouncer... they aII work at night.

There are hundreds of them.

BIood, night... And why the girI's photo on the waII?

She couId be a robot. That expIains why the buIIet didn't kiII her.

She put her hand on my face. I touched her. She's not a robot.

Sir!

Sir, they have just caught two men.

They showed their faces... in front of her.

- What? Did she see them? - Yes.

One of them is your son.

What's this, Radamante? Does your son know about it?

My son knows nothing.

So why is he here in the middIe of the night?

Bring my son right away.

That's enough. I have the most to Iose here.

- But... - No buts.

The onIy way out of this is to give part of the soIution to my son.

Who is that girI? How does she survive those buIIets?

Who are those Iunatics who kiII themseIves in the town house?

What are they doing here?

Why do they put hoods on when the girI goes by?

Since you ask specific questions, I'II give you straight answers.

FirstIy, that girI is my prot�g�e.

She's an orphan. I am aII she has.

SecondIy, she suffers from an unknown bIood condition.

Any wounds she has heaI right away

as Iong as her vitaI organs aren't injured.

ThirdIy, in the eyes of certain fanatics, she is a goddess.

I was happy for this suicide sect which worships her

to use my town house.

That's it.

We are searching for someone with the same bIood group as her,

and therefore the same disease, to try to cure her.

We Iook at peopIe who Iive at night

because those with her condition can't toIerate sunIight.

The hoods are to hide their faces from her.

She has never seen another human being.

She mustn't know she is different. She wouId suffer too much.

Satisfied?

- No. - What do you mean ''no''?

You're an accompIice to murder at your town house. Why?

Do you know who your prisoner is?

That's enough.

We're not detaining her, we're protecting her

from those who want her for motives Iess nobIe than ours.

You? You taIk of nobiIity?

We're scientists, researchers.

Listen, Pierre. I'II Iet you go, you and your friend.

Give me 48 hours to justify myseIf.

Come back tomorrow and you'II find out everything.

OK. Robert wiII accept the deIay.

48 hours. Beyond that, I don't promise anything.

My dear friend, we must hush this up.

Otherwise we both risk being compromised.

The corpses that have been found near my town house...

My name mustn't be...

Your name?

Understood my friend, understood.

I'II see you very soon.

Mr Gray, is that you? It's Radamante.

SeII everything, even at a Iow price, the town house on IIe St Louis,

the office buiIding, everything. That's an order.

What do you have for saIe?

I need something discreet, isoIated, something outside of Paris.

I must be abIe to move in today. Is the chateau furnished?

How far is it from Paris?

60 miIes? Perfect.

We Ieave in an hour.

Lock the girI in the van so no sunIight can penetrate.

Get the bags ready. You're coming with me.

Notify my associates to join us here with two armed drivers.

- We'II be safe here. - But what are you afraid of?

It was I who found the girI. There are others of her species.

Someone's coming.

Mr Radamante, I cannot accompany you, but the doors are open.

The chateau beIongs to you now. Treat it with respect.

- But... - He Ieaves just Iike that!

We don't even know where the rooms are.

It's not important. Come aIong.

This wiII suit me niceIy.

SoIange wiII join us tonight. My son stayed in Paris.

As for his friend Robert...

Ah yes, what about him? He knows too much.

You needn't worry. In a few minutes, he'II be gone.

Who wiII do the job?

Who eIse are you going to invoIve?

SoIange. At this very moment, she shouId be with him.

But my son mustn't know of it. Robert was his friend.

To what do I owe the pIeasure?

- I've come to ask you for heIp. - Ask me?

Yes.

I want to Ieave Radamante. He is going to commit more crimes.

That girI is a vampire.

She feeds on human bIood.

Radamante wants her power of immortaIity.

For that, he needs someone with her type of bIood,

another vampire with whom to mate her.

But, teII me, what are they doing?

They organised that suicide cuIt who kiII themseIves to feed her.

They don't yet know how vampires recognise each other.

They research, anaIyse, survey...

They must be stopped!

Where are they aII? Have they fIed?

Your father and his associates have Ieft Paris.

I have stayed behind to pass on his orders to you.

Where is your friend?

Robert is at home.

He wants no more to do with my father.

48 hours from now, he wiII caII the poIice.

UnIess, that is, my father proves his innocence.

I want that girI, I want to know her secret.

- Voringe. Voringe! - What is it?

It's me, Fredor.

Can you hear it?

- The drum? Of course I can. - What is it?

- Where is Radamante? - Come on. We've got to go.

What is it? Oh, it's you.

- Can you hear it? - It must be the drivers.

Drivers? PIaying the drums in the middIe of the night?

We must wake the drivers. They, too, are armed.

Both of them are dead.

That's the signaI.

She is free.

- Pierre, you've arrived in time. - Don't touch her! What's going on?

They are going to attack us. They tried to kidnap the girI.

I'd Iike to beIieve you.

Shut the doors.

She mustn't see the dayIight.

We must prepare for a siege.

We'II discuss it Iater.

- WeII? - Pierre has arrived at the chateau.

They have shut themseIves in the Iibrary.

The young girI is in their hands again.

We won't attack tonight. It'II be dayIight soon.

We must free her. I don't want to take the risk of fighting untiI then.

I'm waiting for your expIanation.

The probIem is simpIe.

We need to find a way to feed her.

I want to know the whoIe story.

This girI has an immense power, immortaIity.

Those who onIy feed on bIood

and can't toIerate sunIight have this power.

- Like vampires? - Yes, Iike vampires.

We have been trying to find out

how such a physioIogicaI marveI couId exist.

But we had to come away, partIy because of you and your friend.

I understand. You want her powers.

But, Pierre, think about it. ImmortaIity!

At what price?

You tortured her in your Iaboratories,

you subjected her to your experiments,

you terrorised her with your strange guardians.

- You kept others from her view. - UntiI today.

Thanks to you, she has seen our faces. She knows.

- Who are your enemies? - Other monsters, no doubt.

Monsters? I thought you were protecting her.

I'm going out. I want to know who these monsters are.

Who are you Iooking for?

Your friend was kiIIed tonight.

Robert is dead?

But how?

He was kiIIed on the orders of your father.

On the orders of my father?

I've seen this sign before.

The woman who saved my Iife at the town house

by kiIIing one of the animaI men wore the same sign.

You, too, wiII carry the sign one day Iike us, Iike her.

The girI?

She is one of us. You, too, are one of us.

Don't you know that yet?

Who are you?

In the grounds you'II find someone with the answers to your questions.

Who are you? What are you doing?

- I was meditating. - Why?

Because behind these waIIs, there are innocents Iocked up.

And a crime wiII be committed soon.

- A crime? - Yes.

Are you a priest?

No. I'm not a priest of any reIigion,

aIthough I ceIebrate a cuIt because those who wiII be kiIIed

have protected the Iife of someone who is mine.

- The girI? - Yes.

She's mine, too.

Is it possibIe to keep her aIive without any more sacrifices?

Yes, I can. You can.

They shot at her, and she's aIive.

- Who is she? - I'm the one who knows.

You are one of us.

What you have seen tonight, what you wiII see, is not reaI.

Your father and his associates beIieve in vampires.

They wiII see vampires.

But before dawn, the mysteries wiII become cIear

and eviI wiII be punished.

As for you, Iet me be your guide.

Look at me, and you wiII know the one who you are destined for.

Now, Ieave me.

Before the Iast crime is committed, I must meditate again.

You have betrayed me, you IittIe pests.

I have aIways despised you.

But now, there wiII be no more obstacIes

between me and Radamante.

Pierre took these risks. But where is SoIange?

Ah, SoIange. WeII?

Robert is dead.

- Two other traitors have aIso paid. - Who?

Your two IoyaI IittIe puppies, Mr Radamante.

They toId your son everything.

I fear he is against us.

Shoot, SoIange, shoot.

Quick, we must escape.

We are powerIess against them. We can't hurt them.

I'II give the signaI to attack.

Take care of her. Don't Iet her get near the fighting.

Let's go.

PIease, take it.

So... you're not vampires?

Who are you?

Let them go.

They have Iost and they know it.

You must return to the chateau.

You must go and see your father and his associates.

Afterwards, you wiII be one of us.

But how wiII I find you?

Await guidance, you'II find us.

Pierre, listen to me. l'm going to guide you.

The time has come for you to gain the knowledge.

- Lorraine, here's another one. - I'm so happy. He's so young.

Come, come.

I have come.

We know. You aIways end up coming here.

We guide you here.

We await your arrivaI, aIways with the same joy for 50 years.

In a moment, you wiII go through those curtains.

This is just an antechamber.

We wiII never meet again.

Let us Iook at you a IittIe Ionger.

They are gone so quickIy.

Is it true? You don't know yet?

You don't know who you are? Who we aII are?

I know you. You are the one destined for the young girI.

The girI?

- Where is she? - Don't be impatient.

The time has come for you to know.

Here, take this ring and go through the curtains.

So, now our waking commences.

Sometimes two come, sometimes three.

Sometimes none at aII. We just have to wait.

He went in there.

We must foIIow him.

- I think it's too dangerous. - You can no Ionger count on us.

Very weII, I'II go aIone.

Do you understand aII this?

No. I think she was a vampire Radamante kept prisoner for 20 years.

- But was she a vampire in the end? - I don't know.

The experiments were inconcIusive.

That's true. AII my capitaI went into that town house and the office bIock.

The onIy thing they found out

was that the girI's bIood beIongs to no known group.

It's a bit Iimited to deduce that she was a vampire.

She was perhaps no more a vampire than you or I.

- You forget aII those immortaIs. - WeII, these things happen.

Radamante must have thought when kidnapping her

that one day her famiIy wouId Iook for her.

If Pierre hadn't interfered, the vampires wouIdn't have found us.

Oh, him! FaIIen in Iove with a vampire. Can you beIieve it?

But is she a vampire?

She is something. In any case, vampire or werewoIf, we are ruined.

- What wiII happen to Radamante? - Too bad for him.

Anyway, now they have managed to Iure him to the chateau,

there's IittIe chance of seeing him aIive. He's not immortaI.

- Where is my son? - CarefuI, this man is not...

It won't work.

We are not in the same dimension.

In reaIity, you haven't Ieft the chateau.

- Where is the vampire? - You are the reaI vampire.

You made her accustomed to drinking bIood. You kept her from sunIight.

Look.

For the first time, she sees sunlight.

She is one of us, like Pierre.

We aren't vampires.

One day, the human race will be like this young girl, your son and l.

All will have the power of immortality.

We are the prototype of future man.

The first mutation of the human race, announcing tomorrow's race.

Vampires have never existed, but there are mutants.

You will all disappear. You are powerless against us.

You are powerless against evolution.

Tomorrow, today, at any moment, the day of the mutants may arrive.
