DRAMATIC, TENSE MUSIC

CHEERING

Lars, I need to talk to you.

I saw something in your father's mind.

I'll be right back, OK?

But it's about my mother.

Elisabetha's blood and Dracula's tears

created 13 rubies with special powers.

During the Clan Wars, most rubies were lost.

Only a few clans survived.

The Dracas,

the Lycana,

the Nosferas,

the Pyras,

the Vyrad,

and the Vamalia.

Why aren't you in the meeting? You have a ruby.

They don't care. They think I'm a child.

Lars...

..please take your father's seat.

Let us begin.

What's Lars doing in there?

I don't know.

They're going to vote.

On your sister's fate and Calvina's death.

Our father wants to convict them both under Dracas law. Your father?

General Ragnar's your father?

Dracas law is exceptionally cruel.

Shut up, Fanny. What are you trying to do, scare them?

I'm just being honest.

Yeah, right, like honesty's really your thing.

Just get lost.

Come on, guys.

..wants to help, you know. I don't...

I can help you.

What? Why would you want to do that?

The way we treated you...

..both of you, was wrong.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

I want to help.

Help us with what?

Finding your mother.

Uh!

Please!

I'm sorry, I read your mind.

I don't care. Just tell me what you know about my mother.

I saw a shield made of sunlight...

I beg you!

..holding her in a cage.

That can only be in the Prison of Eternal Light.

The what?

We Heirs were never allowed to go too close to the woods

surrounding it. They said it was haunted.

But we snuck in anyway.

Where is it?

It's hidden deep in the Northern Woods.

Can you show us?

This way.

Alisa freed Calvina,

who shot your father. She also saved him.

They don't need to be punished.

I know you like her...

..but by law you NEED to punish her.

Alisa never meant for any of this to happen.

But it did. And you've heard her, she'll do it again for that Shadow.

SHE SCOFFS Alisa needs to be punished as well.

I demand the right to vote!

I say we set Alisa free.

RAGNAR CHUCKLES And Calvina, too.

This is unheard of!

He can't be here!

You have no right.

Yes, he does.

He's the last of the Lycana clan.

He's an Elder, just like us.

Come on, be a man and lead like your father did.

My father chose me to lead our clan, Uncle, not you.

You're not an Elder, nor are you the leader of our clan,

even though you desperately want to be.

Seymour is not the one who doesn't belong here, it's you

who's got no business in this meeting.

RAGNAR YELLS

RAGNAR GRUNTS

I request your presence, Great One.

Request granted.

ANIMALS HOWL

What if she's not there?

What if she doesn't recognise me?

What if she doesn't even want to see me?

Are you crazy?

She is going to love you, OK?

I don't think we're very welcome.

Look.

We must be in the right place.

Yes.

This way.

Let's cross this thing before we freeze up. OK?

Lars, I'm sorry, but you have to decide

over Alisa's and Calvina's fate.

We are on YOUR land, we follow YOUR rules.

You have to punish them by YOUR laws.

I'm not punishing anyone. Not now, not today.

I need to think, clear my head.

Let's put them in the Prison of Eternal Light

until I figure out what to do.

We can't do that.

Why not?

We have a prisoner there.

My father said it's been abandoned for centuries.

He lied.

Then, who's the prisoner?

Who is the prisoner?

I'm the clan leader now, with two rubies around my neck.

Do not make me use them.

Elina.

My daughter, Anna.

Alisa's mother.

Where's Alisa?

I need to find her.

She went to the forest with Ivy and Inger.

OK. Lars, what's wrong?

Is this it?

Yeah.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Help me.

One, two... THEY GRUNT

HOWLING

THUNDER CRASHES AND RUMBLES

I was wondering if someone was going to feed me today.

Mum?

Alisa?

Stop!

You can never leave.

It will turn you into dust when you go through the layer to step out.

It's made from the sun's most powerful rays.

ANNA WHIMPERS

Alisa, no! What have you done?!

What have you done?

It's OK, Mum.

Dracula has the Belov Ruby, so now I can withstand the sun, too.

You have the Spark.

Yes. You two are connected

like I was.

A curse and a blessing, but this prison can't hold me.

Oh, look at you.

You are so beautiful.

I've missed you so much.

What have they done?

Keeping you here. I mean, Grandmother knew. They all knew.

They did this to you.

They did this to you.

Your grandmother, she thought she had no other choice.

Why?

The others were afraid.

They wanted to protect their vampire families,

their own clans.

The thought of me untying the Knot,

turning all of them into humans,

destroying everything they knew and loved.

They told me you were dead.

They told me you were dead. I thought you were dead.

I know.

I know, baby.

It'll be all right, Elina.

Alisa's never going to forgive me.

General Ragnar needs a word, madam.

Please.

No. He just asked for her.

It won't take long.

Guys, have you seen Joanne?

She was just here a second ago.

Can't seem to find her anywhere.

How's Tammo? Is he OK?

Oh, yes. He is. He's...

He's so big now.

But, erm...

..he's so sweet.

He's going to freak out meeting you.

This is my best friend, Ivy.

Hi.

And, erm...

Inger af Dracas.

Nice to meet you.

Her father...

..General Ragnar, he's the one keeping me prisoner for the Baron.

The Baron isn't in charge any more.

His son, Lars, is.

I don't understand.

Let's give them some time alone.

OK?

What happened?

SHE PANTS

Where is he?! Where is Father?!

Where's my father?

He's in the royal hut, why?

Fanny, what's wrong?

I just...

I just saw Dracula.

I just saw Dracula.

DRACULA: Request granted.

You lied to me. You promised me leadership.

Kneel to me, you fool.

You will rule over the Dracas clan.

Over all clans.

Yes. Finally you can show your father he should have chosen you,

not your brother, Magnus.

But first you must do something for me.

Anything, Master. Anything.

You know what happens when Dracula unties the Knot?

All humans will be turned into vampires. His Shadows, I know.

There'll be no more humanity.

And the Elders don't want you to untie it

because it could end all vampire life.

Could? Whoever unties it makes that decision.

Why untie it at all? Why not just leave it alone?

It's not something you can stop.

It's already set in motion.

The Northern Lights are so beautiful.

Aurora Borealis.

The Greeks thought that Aurora was the sister of the sun and moon,

that she raced across the early morning sky

in her multicoloured chariot to alert her siblings

that the sun was coming up.

So maybe she's a vampire.

Like us.

WIND WHISTLES

I'm sorry for what we did to your hair.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry I didn't stop my sister, I'm sorry I held you down.

What are you doing?!

Get off!

You were screaming, and I did nothing but hold you down.

FANNY CACKLES Does it look good on me?

I guess...

..people fear someone new.

Someone different.

You're not different.

Is it true?

Lars?

Is Elisa's mother in there?

Elisa.

Lars.

This is my mother.

Mum, this is Lars.

I know who you are.

I know you don't trust us Dracas.

But I'm not the same as them.

You can trust me.

You can.

Really.

Don't let Lars see you sitting on that throne...

RAGNAR CHUCKLES ..General.

He's not fit to lead.

And you know it, don't you?

Maybe so.

But Baron Magnus is going to recover.

RAGNAR LAUGHS

And I don't think he'd like you talking about his son like that.

Yes!

What we do for our children, right?

I'm blessed...

..with two daughters.

Not one.

What are you talking about?

If I lose one, I always have the other one, right?

But you don't.

Ma cherie! Ragnar, what the hell are you doing with my daughter?

I hate to see something happen to her.

She's so sweet.

That's why I want to trade...

..your ruby...

..for her life.

Let's get you out of here.

LARS GROANS

Come, Mum, let's get out of here.

No, Elisa!

You are the one.

You... You have to find the Cave of the Knot, not me.

It's always supposed to be you.

The Spark entered me just to find you.

They locked you in here because you have the Spark.

I have to stay. What?

No. Untying the Knot is the only thing that's important.

You are the chosen one,

the Elders have to keep believing I have the Spark.

I have to stay here so they won't go after you.

Not any more.

The Elders saw it light up from my hand.

Back on the Elisabetha.

Tell me everything.

Listen, everybody!

I have an important message!

Milton, Elina, Claudio, and Seymour...

..give me your rubies.

Have you gone mad, Ragnar?

He has my ruby.

HE CHANTS

WOLVES HOWL

Give me your ruby!

Or they will!

WOLVES GROWL

SCREAMING

WOLVES GROWL

Yes.

Wolves...

..are deadly to us vampires.

No-one survives a wolf's bite.

I will order the pack to attack the weakest of them first.

RAGNAR LAUGHS

The little ones will never be able to outrun them.

So how many children will you sacrifice

to keep your precious ruby?

WOLVES HOWL

Yes.

That's a good girl.

WOLVES GROWL

Seymour, my friend.

RAGNAR CHUCKLES

Give him the ring.

Please.

Think of your friends.

WOLVES GROWL

Claudio.

Now it's your turn.

Come on!

They're coming, hide.

What? Who are you? Not important! Just hide!

Come on.

They're coming. Hide!

Abraham?

Anna. What are you doing here?

Hide. Now. Go!

ALISA: Who's that?

Do you know him?

Ragnar, where are you taking us?

My uncle is coming.

With all the Elders. Something is wrong.

He can't find you here. We have to protect the Spark.

What? Hide. Get in here.

But what about you?

Go.

Lars.

Go. I'll be fine.
