HOTEL BISTRIC

Excuse me, excuse...

- Are you the Turkish lawyer from Istanbul? - Yes, it's me.

Panais! Panais?

Your room is ready. They had already reserved a room,

- and also left a mail for you. - Let me see.

"My dear friend, I won't be able to be there to welcome you.

"I already ordered the hotel manager to fix you a car.

"And my private car will be waiting for you at the Vucabina Crossing at 2 a.m.

"That car will bring you to me. Sincerely, Count Dracula"

Was it Count Dracula who left this mail?

Yes.

Dear, who is this Count Dracula?

I don't know, Turkish sir. I have no idea.

- And you? Do you know anything? - No.

Yet, here it says that the count told you to fix me a car.

True... But nobody wants to go over to his property.

- How come? - There is but one car in this town.

Let me talk to the driver.

If you pay him handsomely, maybe he'll cave in.

Sure, I'll pay what he asks.

As long as he takes me there at 2 a.m. tonight.

Why does no wagoner wants to go over to the Count's estate?

It's best that you don't go there tonight either.

Why?

Today is the 14th of December.

Tonight, exactly at midnight, all evil creatures, all evil spirits

that reside on Earth will break free.

Evil will dominate all around.

Do you know where you are headed, where does that road follow?

Of course I do, madam. To the Castle Dracula.

I am to go there to take over as Count Dracula's private attorney.

Oh, my poor sir. I beg you to reconsider.

I had a son just like you.

He turned a deaf ear to our pleas. Exactly one year ago today

he suffered the rage of those evil spirits and died.

Don't worry, madam. I have faith in my own God.

Evil spirits are helpless in face of this true believer.

Pay him ten thousand leus and he will take you there.

Okay, we shall go then.

- How far is this Vucabina Crossing? - Almost a two-hour ride.

Very well, then. I still have some time to rest.

- Sir, it's better if we leave now. - Why?

I'd rather not be at his estate around midnight.

But if we depart now, we'll be there only at 8 p.m.

Yet my rendezvous is at 2 a.m. What shall I do until then.

- Cut it. I'll tip you 1.000 Leus more. - Alright.

May the Lord help us all.

- Your luggage is already in the car. - Merci, madam.

Is he the one going to the Castle Dracula?

You see, Turkish sir, there's nobody waiting for you.

That's fine. We can wait for a while.

Sure, we can.

Give me the gentleman's luggage.

Welcome, do come in.

- Are you Count Dracula? - Yes.

I can handle it.

It's getting late.

The help isn't here at this time.

Please let me at least see that you're comfortable.

Follow me, please. Your room's upstairs.

Never trust this clock. Time has no meaning in this castle.

I'm sure you would like to rest and get changed first.

Come to the parlor next door after that.

I have prepared something for you to eat.

Right this way.

I apologize for not accompanying you at dinner.

I have already eaten.

How are you, how was the trip?

Thank you, you're too kind.

There's this one thing that made me curious.

Your subjects who found out that I was coming here

got quite afraid and agitated.

The locals here are... peculiar.

They exaggerate anything and everything.

That is why they think of me

as someone ruthless as my ancestor Voivode Vlad Dracula was.

You will, however, soon see that this is far from the truth.

- How is your director? - Unfortunately, he's under the weather.

That is why I traveled here myself.

I have all the necessary records. I'll present them to you tomorrow.

Very well.

Children of the night...

How beatiful, the music that they make.

Oh, you city kids...

You will never understand the life of a hunter.

I'm sure that you are tired too.

I wish you a good night.

I have to attend other business until tomorrow night.

I'm afraid that we won't be meeting until then.

May the Lord bring you comfort in your sleep.

It is always dangerous to fiddle with locked doors.

I'm sorry. What were you trying to say?

I'm following the Count's, my master's orders.

Where is the Count?

"I won't be at the castle for some while. Plese don't wait for me. Dracula"

You can go up to the library, if you please.

Here are the keys.

- It's right next to your room. - Thank you.

Just a moment...

Ever since I stepped my foot here, I have encountered many peculiar things.

My guess is that you already know about these.

This place is quite different from your hometown.

We have different customs and beliefs here.

The locals who reside in the village believe that,

one night in a year, and that was last night this year,

all evil spirits, demons, specters,

and witches break free.

Please, wait a second.

All the people that I have met before coming here

were terrified even just to hear Dracula's name.

How come you work as a servant for him?

Listen to me...

It's better for you not to get involved with any of this.

Another thing, if you please...

I have a piece of advice for you.

Make sure to never fall asleep in anywhere else beside your room.

This desolate castle has long been the center stage for many important events.

Those who can't find the right place to sleep

are troubled with gruesome nightmares.

If you ever happen to feel even a little bit drowsy,

go back to your room or to the library immediately.

Thank you for the advice.

I'm glad you found your way to the library.

There are many things here that might interest you.

I have been reading a lot of Turkish books

ever since I've decided to visit Istanbul.

Here are the title deeds for the Istanbul mansions you have bought.

Thank you.

Have you had the chance to correspond with

- your director Rıfat or someone else? - No.

I think I have already mentioned before,

the postal service here is in shambles.

Therefore, any letter to be post off to your friends

must be written at least 10 days before

the date that you want it to be received.

- I had no idea. - That is why I am telling you.

You don't have much business to attend to here.

That is why you should write three letters with your departure date,

and send them off to your friends now.

- Three letters? - Yes.

- Three letters, all dated differently. - And why should that be so?

As I have just explained,

our postal service is not quite an up-and-running organization.

Okay then. Just tell me how I should be writing these letters.

I knew you were a clever young man.

The first letter

shall mention that you will be departing in several days

and bear this castle's address.

The date should be December 12th.

Your second letter

should state that you shall leave the next day, dated December 19th.

Whereas your third letter

should be dated December 29th and will be mailed from Hotel Bistric.

I ask you to write them before tomorrow.

Since that is your wish...

Careful, don't cut yourself.

That sort of thing can become quite dangerous around here.

Now, if you will excuse me,

I have some important business to attend to.

What insolence!

How dare you?

Don't you see how beatiful this man is?

It has been years since I even had this sort of a chance.

How dare you put your hands on someone that belongs to me?

Didn't I tell you not to lay your hands on him?

Don't get mad.

Your turn shall come too.

But first, it's my turn.

Now leave.

Nothing for me tonight?

What happened to me? Where is that girl?

My servant must have informed you that fiddling with closed doors

may be dangerous around here.

- My head... - You must have had a nightmare.

I hope you learned your lesson after everything that happened tonight.

My guess is that this will make you follow the advice that you're given.

What did you do to my child? Where is my baby? My baby!

Bring my child back!

You beast... My child!

Bring my child back!

I said, bring my child back!

Bring my child back now!

- Ah, you are late this morning. - What do you think happened to me?

You must have had a terrifying nightmare.

His Lordship has asked for your letters.

I have not yet written them.

Please make sure to write them.

See, it's better write them as soon as possible.

Because...

It wouldn't be wise to annoy his Lordship.

Here they are.

Güzin Arsoy...

Is she the beautiful lady who's in that picture by your bed?

Yes, that's her.

Take one.

Take one, please.

Do you like it?

You can have it.

Here, here, you can have it.

SUPERSTITIONS AND THE FACTS THAT THEY ARE BASED ON

"Stories about specters, regarded as superstitions,

"are common in the Balkans and the regions surrounding the Karpat mountains

"and tightly held beliefs for the folks living in that area.

"Especially in Transylvanian folklore, the name 'Dracula'

"or 'Vlad the Impaler' strikes fear in many of the locals' hearts.

"Because even though it is not yet proven scientifically,

"it is still commonly believed today that

"there are some specters who live after they die and suck human blood.

"Romanian villagers still believe this to be true.

"They claim that there are still entities living in the old Castle Dracula.

"The only thing that these specters feed on is their victims' blood.

"These creatures called 'vampires' by the French have canine teeth

"that become remarkably pointed when they see blood.

"They use these teeth to bite into their victim's jugular vein to drink blood.

"The specter that Romanians call 'Dracula' is as strong as 20 people.

"His cloak grants him many abilities, such as shapeshifting

"and change his appearance.

"If this specter sucks the blood of a person, no matter their sex,

"they become one too.

"Although medically dead, these creatures find their ways out of their graves

"and look for victims to suck on.

"They immediately possess and dominate their prey.

"Killing these specters is hard and easy at the same time.

"Pistols or knives do not hurt them.

"To make sure that a specter does not haunt again,

"one must pay special attention to the matters below:"

ELHAÇ ABDULLÂTİF GANİ Bakırköy Shrubbery, Istanbul

What are you doing here?

Did you find anybody to carry the chests going to Istanbul?

They will come and get them first thing tomorrow morning.

Then get out of here!

You specter! You beast!

Beast!

Beast!

I will now destroy you!

I will erase you from this world!

Beast! Beast!

GÜZİN ARSOY

1953 ISTANBUL NIGHTS THE REVUE

MINERVA SEWING MACHINERY

- A letter for you, Ms. Arsoy. - Thank you.

"December 29th, 1939. Hotel Bistric.

"Dear Güzin, I have arrived just this morning,

"and will be leaving for Istanbul tomorrow by train. Can't write much.

"We'll have plenty of time when I arrive.

"Fondly kissing your beautiful eyes and lips, Azmi"

- Can I take you home, Güzin? - Mine's just in front, I'll go by myself.

Why do you ignore me so, Güzin?

You know how much I love you.

Don't you know that I am a married woman and that I would never betray my husband?

Still insisting on the husband tale?

Why would it be a tale? My contract is over next month. I will leave this stage.

So we still have a month?

- My dear... - Get off me!

Get out of here, you pushy, sleazy dimwit! Never dare to set foot in my room again!

Hello?

Yes, this is she.

I swear, I have not forgotten.

I called you several times...

Try calling that little lady yourself. Sure, I'll come.

I don't have a show or rehersal tomorrow.

Merci, Şadan.

No, I cannot stay. Impossible.

Okay, Şadan. I'll still come tomorrow night.

Anything you say. I'll stay with you a couple of days.

Got it, dear. Goodbye.

So, our groom Azmi is coming back to his homeland in any time?

Yes, my dear aunt. He is leaving Romania today.

Congratulations, my girl,

I hope we soon see Şadan get married too.

When will you introduce me to my brother-in-law, Şadan?

- As soon as he arrives. - Go, get his picture.

- Mom, it's not the time now... - Just bring it here.

My dear girl, your arrival is a blessing from Heaven.

I sent Şadan upstairs on purpose.

She's not herself lately...

Sorry to hear that. What happened to Şadan?

Her old sickness came back,

she wanders in her sleep.

She's about to get married, I just hope nobody hears about it.

I am so sorry, Aunt. Maybe a doctor visit would do?

Şadan has no idea that she does this. How can I take her to the doctor?

What if it gets out?

For now, I quietly tuck her back in if she's out of her bed.

But I can't take it anymore. You know, I have a heart condition too.

I can't handle all this excitement.

I fear that one night I might have a heart attack.

- God forbid, Aunt! - My girl, please help me.

Check on her multiple times every night, would you?

Sure, Aunt.

Oh, come here you!

Where have you been? We missed you.

I missed you too, but, you know, my dad was sick.

He's feeling a bit better today, that's how I could finally visit.

Let me introduce you both. This is Turan.

- He's Şadan's fiancé. - And this is Güzin.

She is like a daughter to me.

- I happen to know Güzin. - Do you really?

Who wouldn't recognize a dancer as famous as you?

You think so?

You asked for the picture, but the man himself is here. Welcome, Turan.

Thank you, dear.

You guys go talk in the parlor.

- I'll clean the table first. - Let us help you.

If I make you work when you have just arrived, you'll take to your heels.

No way. Stay here for several days, then you'll do whatever you want.

- How are you, Güzin? Are you sick? - No, I'm not.

I'm worried about my husband.

I received his letter ten days ago,

but he hasn't showed up yet.

I'm worried that he got in some sort of trouble.

He knows that I would worry, he should have let me know.

Don't be sad, dear. I'm sure he will be back soon.

- Maybe he was held up with work. - Maybe, I hope so...

There's nothing to worry about. Let's go outside for a while.

I'd like to go to seaside.

You spent your whole day inside, open air would do you well.

- What do you say? - Sure, honey.

What are they carrying?

Let's go take a look.

- Wow, how heavy... - Sorry, what are these?

- Where are they coming from? - No idea, my lady.

Someone really clever sends clay from Romania by boat, just to make ceramics.

The crew says that this soil is jinxed.

Two of the crew disappeared before arriving here from Varna, Bulgaria.

Doesn't seem to be related, but they are really spooked.

I don't know why, but this place fascinates me.

- Why do you think? - A voice seems to be guiding me here.

Güzin, you are all hiding something from me.

I know that there's something wrong with me, but...

I don't know what.

And at night, you always sit down at your desk and write,

as if waiting for me to sleep first.

Why? For what?

What are you hiding?

Please, Güzin. I'm begging you.

Tell me the reason.

Of course not, Şadan. There's nothing to hide.

It's not worth it for me to insist. It's obvious, you won't tell me.

Şadan?

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan? Şadan, please wake up.

Where am I?

Those red eyes... I don't want to see them anymore.

Don't be scared, dear. Let's go back home.

Your mom would be so upset if she cannot find us there.

Now I understand. This is what you were trying to hide.

I have been walking in my sleep.

Don't be sad, dear. I've already consulted with the doctor.

He said that it'd pass once you're married.

Have I ever wandered outside before?

- No, you were always in the house. - I think I'm going insane.

- Güzin, please don't tell my mom. - Sure, I won't.

What's wrong with me, Doctor?

Nothing too serious. Just eat and sleep well.

- Sorry, can't stay longer. - See you, Doctor.

Tell me, Doctor. What's wrong with Şadan?

Seems like nothing is.

But I can't say that she is fully healthy.

She seems anemic and really tired.

How could that be? Both I and her mom, we make sure that she rests a lot.

That's also why I can't figure it out.

Here's my phone number.

If there is any sudden development, let me know.

Sure, Doctor.

Şadan!

Şadan!

Şadan, Şadan! It's me, sister, Güzin!

Those red eyes...

That terrifying bat...

What happened to you, Şadan? When did you wake up?

I felt as if I was drowning in green waters...

I heard the sweetest voice in my ears...

It was as if my soul was leaving my body.

I gave in to a bittersweet pain.

I'm very tired. I need to sleep.

Go ahead sleep, dear sister.

DOCTOR AKİF CANSEVER

What would be your opinion, Professor?

Well, I'm not sure.

These red eyes, the bat, then the scar on her neck...

Makes me wonder.

What can I say?

- What could they be, Professor? - We have the most important case at hand.

Yet, please don't ask any more questions.

I'll go back home and do some research in my library.

Whom can we entrust Şadan with?

- Maybe you, Ms. Arsoy? - I'll do my best.

Please direct all your attention and care to Şadan until I come back here.

- Akif will drop by day and night. - Sure, Professor.

- If you'll excuse me. - Of course, my girl.

Hello? Yes, this is she.

To the theater? For a play to benefit Red Crescent?

That's impossible.

I can't leave Şadan alone.

Professor, why do these mentions of bats and red eyes interest you this much?

- Told you not to ask me nothing yet. - Right.

I'm invited to perform at a charity event for Red Crescent tonight.

- What can we do about Şadan? - I can take care of her tonight.

You're too kind. I'll be back once the show is over.

Well, now is my time to go, dear girl.

- Goodbye, Professor. - Goodbye.

MINERVA SEWING MACHINERY

Welcome, Rıfat. Ms. Arsoy is on the stage.

Thank you.

Welcome!

- What's the matter, Rıfat? - Azmi...

Is he on his way?

Well, he's in Edirne.

What is he doing in Edirne?

- He is at the border hospital. - At the hospital?

Is he sick?

He had been raving about queer things. Hungarian police found him by chance,

he was on the verge of goin crazy.

Blood suckers, specters,

female beasts... That's all he was mumbling about.

Doctors are suspicious of brain fever.

Then I'm going all the way to Edirne.

How would you go at this hour, Ms. Arsoy?

I'll jump in my car and leave right away.

Please don't do it, Ms. Arsoy.

You'll depart with the first light of day.

I can't bear the thought of waiting until dawn.

Oh, so are you coming too?

Do I look like someone who would leave their boss' wife by hearself?

Let's head out together.

Here's a telegram for you.

"Şadan is not feeling well. Please come immediately. Akif."

We should go.

There is not even a moment to waste.

The patient is about to die due to the blood loss.

- Who of us should give blood? - Me, of course. It is my duty.

Very well.

Let's go.

We should get ready.

We shall get to it right away.

We cannot hesitate in this urgent situation.

I had a suspicion after our talk over the phone.

- How is Şadan? - Professor, this is her fiancé.

- You must be Dr. Naci Eren. - Yes, nice to meet you.

I appreciate your efforts. Akif told me how you have been helping.

- Only you can save Şadan. - We are all doing our jobs.

You actually arrived just in time. Take your clothes off, Turan.

We were about to give blood to Şadan.

I'm ready to give all, until the last drop.

Only some will do, my son.

- Please, go ahead. - You first.

Akif, get some wine and fruits for Turan.

Young man, we don't need anything else from you.

Go to your place, get some rest, and have something to eat.

Got it, Doctor.

- Doctor, will my daughter recover? - God willing... Have no fear, my lady.

- God bless you. - Thank you.

- Go get some rest now, my lady. - Very well, Doctor.

Akif? Come here, my son.

Look. What do you think these are?

Well, I wouldn't know. I can't make heads or tails of it.

Akif...

If I'm not mistaken, we're on the verge of something terrible...

EDIRNE STATE HOSPITAL

Praise be! You're looking really well today, Azmi.

All thanks to my wife. You took such great care of me that I could only get better.

- Azmi, do you enjoy being sick? - Sure!

In a sense. You don't leave my side, we're finally together day night, honey.

My contract is over soon. We will never separate again.

Telegram for you, Mr. Arsoy.

"Something momentous is unfolding, and only you can illuminate us.

"Please send a telegram to Şadan's with your return date to Istanbul,

"I would very much like to speak with you.

"Doctor Naci Eren"

This name, Naci Eren, sounds familiar. I wonder where I have heard it before.

He is the best-known psychologist in both Turkey and Central Europe.

He must be the one taking care of Şadan.

He also has a book on specters.

Yes, now I remember.

Güzin, please wire him that we'll leave here tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yes, I'm better now. There's no need for me to stay here.

You can't check out before staying 3 full days, as the doctor has said this morning.

Looks like we have to stay here for 3 days.

Şadan, my sweet girl, please wear this around your neck.

It might irritate you a little bit,

but the purpose is to have you and this room smell like garlic.

Come on.

Listen to me very carefully, my lady.

Never take that off your neck, or break it.

Never open the windows or the door, no matter how hot it gets. Okay, my dear?

Okay, doctor.

Let's go. We should leave now.

God help us.

What happened, my child? What's the matter?

Please tell me what's going on, child.

Those red eyes.

Those terrifiying eyes are calling me again, mom.

It's not over for her yet.

If this business ended with death,

I'd accept God's will and let this poor creature die,

But this... This is awful, really awful.

I should call Turan and let him know that his mother-in-law is dead.

Get the tools ready too. She needs another blood transfusion.

Şadan! Şadan, sister, what has become of you?

- You must be Mr Arsoy, then? - Yes, sir.

I have been waiting for you. There are some questions I must ask you.

Let's go downstairs.

- Güzin! - What happened?

Deliver us, O' Lord...

Yara izleri kaybolmuş.

Exactly what I was afraid of. She's dying.

Şadan...

Şadan, my sister!

Turan, my love...

I'm so happy that you're here.

Just hold her hands. It will sooth her soul.

My love...

Honey...

Kiss me, my dear.

Let me kiss you one last time, to my heart's content.

Don't you dare! Don't do it, for the sake of your life and her eternal soul.

Restrain yourself, my son.

This fit will last only for minute.

Şadan...

My poor Şadan...

Güzin, Güzin. Come here, baby.

Come, my baby.

"What is the real truth about the mysterious events in Eyüp?

"Who is this beautiful woman who watches over little kids

"until they are sick?

"In the last few days, little kids have been going missing from Eyüp.

"Since they are all too little, they can't even testify when found.

"They only talk about a beautiful woman who has caressed them.

"They also all seem to have bite marks on their necks,

"so little that only a cat or a small dog could have left them.

"The police has taken action and started investigating."

Azmi, are there bad news or ar you just tired?

I am tired, Güzin.

What are you knitting for me this time, a scarf or a vest?

Neither.

It's for yourself, then?

No. Not for me, and not for me. It's for a handsome fella.

- Someone else? Who? - Someone quite handsome.

We'll have a special visitor in about eight months. It's for him.

What happened? Are you jealous?

To be fair, I'm not sure if I understand.

What there not to understand?

It's someone we're both waiting for, a common visitor.

I swear I still don't get it. I must be dumb.

Hello? I'm listening.

Yes, this is he. How are you, sir?

Yes, sure.

Of course, sir. Goodbye.

- Who was it? - Dr. Naci Eren.

He's coming over tomorrow.

There's something important he wants to discuss.

- What would that be? - Who knows?

I don't know if you had the chance to read the news on yesterday's paper.

Dracula is in Istanbul and I intend to destroy him.

I find it pertinent to remark this particular news.

- I read it last night, Doctor. - So what do you think?

It's the same thing with what I have experienced in Transylvania.

I have read your book while I was in Dracula's castle.

If Şadan sucked Dracula's blood and died, she's now unfortunately a vampire.

She must be the one sucking little kids' blood in Eyüp.

What are you talking about, Azmi? Are you crazy?

Azmi might be right, Turan.

- But this is horrifying. - Horrifying, yet true.

That's exactly why we are gathered here today.

I just can't grasp it.

The part about how vampires are destroyed was ripped apart from the book

by Dracula, and I unfortunately couldn't read it then.

Could you please explain it to us now?

To be able to kill a vampire for good,

one must put a long stake in its heart until it touches lodged into the soil,

then behead it and stuff its mouth with garlic.

We must unfortunately do the same to Şadan, if we want her soul to finally rest.

I cannot allow you to do this to her.

This is something horrifying.

- True, but we must accept the truth. - Whatever you say, I cannot believe it.

The facts themselves will convince you, Turan.

After reading the news yesterday,

Akif and I, we went directly to the hospital to examine the kids.

You tell them what we saw there, Akif.

The kids had the same scars on their necks as Şadan.

- This doesn't really say much. - I will convince you, Turan.

Since we know the location of her grave, it's fairly easier to destroy her.

As for Dracula, that's different.

I think you might find out where he takes shelter, Azmi.

Of course he can.

It was him who took care of Dracula's real estate affairs for Istanbul.

Great. Then, Azmi,

you shall find the mansions and get their keys.

That's easy.

So we'll take care of Şadan first.

Then we will tackle Dracula.

Tonight at midnight, we will all go to her grave to inspect.

I hope that whatever we will see there will finally convince you, Turan.

I apologize but my show premiers tonight, so I cannot make it.

After all, it's better if you don't come, Ms. Arsoy.

It's settled then. Our plan is to visit Şadan's grave tonight at midnight.

Take a look, Turan, and see if Şadan's body still lies here.

As a matter of fact, the body is not here.

This still isn't a definitive proof that Şadan is a vampire.

Maybe some medical students stole her body.

So you argue that the body is stolen?

Very well. We will come back here in the morning.

Then, I will have a better proof to persuade you.

What's the matter, Azmi? Now you carry garlic too?

Just in case, I wanted to have some on me.

We might need it as long as Dracula is at large.

- Have a good night, Hasan. - You too, my lady.

Güzin! Güzin, baby!

Güzin!

Güzin...

I am very sorry to hear that, Azmi.

I hope you told Güzin to wear the garlic necklace at all times now?

Yes, I too carry them.

And now she will have one.

- Alas, she cannot dance with it on. - Of course not.

But she will definitely put it back on after the show.

Good, very good.

Why make a second trip? We already saw last night that it was empty.

Just to make sure. Let's see it once more.

Are you convinced now, Turan?

What if they put it back here last night?

Who would do it? And why?

And how can the body of someone who has been dead for a week

- look so lively? - It's horrifying to think about that.

I know that you have loved her deeply,

yet you must now accept that she is a vampire, Turan.

You must believe that, by destroying her, we're giving her soul the eternal peace.

Perhaps... Perhaps I can believe this...

But I'm afraid. I'm afraid to belive such a thing.

How will you help her reach eternal peace?

By beheading her, and pinning her body to the ground with a stake.

I shan't do that!

I fully understand you, Turan.

There's another thing we can do.

We'll make one more trip here tonight.

You'll make your final decision then.

Turan, look! She's coming.

Come to me...

My lips yearn for you, my dear.

Come to me, my dear. Come, my love.

Come... Come...

And now, Turan? Will you let me do what I need to do?

Do whatever is required.

- It's horrifying. So horrifying. - You're right.

Tell me, Professor. I'll do anything, without hesitation.

Let's take her inside.

I did not want to do this while Turan was here.

These are the keys for the mansions that Dracula purchased here in Istanbul.

According to my investigations, no one has been in or out

these mansions that has been purchased three months ago

for someone named El Hac Abdüllatif Gani.

Our next task is to visit these mansions one by one.

Since they cannot rest anywhere else but on their native soil,

we might catch Dracula in his coffin there.

- That's the only way. - True.

If we could visit these mansions and put garlic in the coffins,

- I think that would be best. - Let's go, now.

- And I'm going to the theater. - I might be late, dear.

If I can't come pick you up, come back yourself,

- but please be careful. - Sure, honey.

You search that part, and we'll go this way.

Not here.

Ah, here it is.

It's here, Professor. Right this way.

Now, to the other mansions.

Leave one of them untouched.

Dracula will definitely come and lay there.

What's happening, kid? Is there a problem?

- I thought there were 10 coffins. - Are sure they were 10?

I don't know...

I can't say it for sure...

- Maybe I'm wrong. - Very well.

All that's left for us to do now is to wait for Dracula to come here.

Can you hold the light?

I'll go find a phone to call Güzin, she might worry.

Sure.

- See you. - Goodbye.

- Good night. - To you too, my lady.

- Good night. - To you too, Ms. Arsoy.

Hasan! Hasan!

Hasan cannot help you now.

He is in a deep sleep.

There is nothing for you to fear, darling.

I won't harm you in any way.

What a delicious creature you are...

I shall savor each and every drop of you.

Tonight you wil dance only for me.

Bravo, Ms. Arsoy.

Tonight you danced

better than ever.

Güzin!

What's happening to me?

Güzin, get in the car and go get our friends from Eyüp.

- I will follow Dracula. - Be careful, Azmi!

Finally.

Thank God, you have arrived, Azmi. I was really worried.

- Were you able to find him? - Yes, Doctor.

Somewhere we couldn't have guessed.

- Where? - At Kasımpaşa graveyard.

- How is that possible? - He had hidden the 10th coffin there.

- What are we waiting for, let's go! - No need to rush, I handled it.

I almost got arrested by cemetery guard, he thought I was a graverobber

Looks like we have managed to get rid of this Dracula trouble.

Now we can finally get a good night's sleep. We all need it.

Let's go.

- Farewell. - Goodbye.

- Sleep well. - Goodbye.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Farewell. - Goodbye, sir.

Let's go.

Come, Güzin.

- What are you doing, Azmi? - I am sick of seeing garlic!

Azmi!

But, Azmi... I need them for cooking.

Güzin, I don't want to see garlic in this house. Okay?

So even the stuffed eggplants will be without garlic then?

Yes, even them. I can't stand the smell of garlic anymore, darling.

THE END
