Original subtitles

I came to Romania to find my sister Michelle,

but the police and the American Embassy found her first.

This may sound a little strange,

but yesterday afternoon your sister Michelle

was found unconscious in her hotel room.

If what you say is true, the vampire Radu

is here in Bucharest and your sister is his disciple.

With the help of professor Popescu

from the Folk Art Museum...

Oh my God.

I discovered the awful truth.

And fell into the clutches of an ancient family

of vampires.

Let her go.

Drink with me, fledgling.

Savor the taste of your sister's suffering.

No!

Die, you bastard.

Come on, Michelle.

I can't.

The sun.

I will wait for you until dark.

I curse you for your beauty.

For the innocence of your flesh.

For the power you hold over my child.

Her blood will give you life.

Is there a telephone here, please?

Telephone?

Yeah.

Hello.

Bucharest, the American Embassy, please.

What's the story, lieutenant?

What about Michelle?

Sorry, miss.

No sister.

No Radu.

No little witch.

She's in there somewhere, she has to be.

Please, miss, tell me again what's happening here.

Who killed Popescu?

Rebecca, we want to believe you.

They're vampires, Mel.

Vampires, Marin.

Or something worse.

Marin, can I talk to you for a moment?

Yes.

Excuse me, miss.

Oh no.

Sorry, I'm sorry, please.

No, don't hurt me.

We're together now, pretty one.

Mortals have defiled my sanctuary.

We must fly.

Rebecca.

I'm sorry.

Okay there's definitely something weird going on here.

Some kind of explosion, yeah?

No, it was them leaving.

I could hear Michelle screaming in there.

Our sanctuary.

Return to Asgathas.

Ooh, ooh.

Call me when you wake up, I'll come get you.

Would you stay with me tonight?

I don't want to be alone.

Yeah.

Sure.

From this night forth, we shall be as one.

All that is mine, will be yours.

Kneel before your master.

Let me out of here.

I will let you out.

I might even set you free.

When you're ready.

You promised you would teach me everything.

First you must learn patience.

We have all the time in the world.

Someday, child, when Radu tires of you,

you'll belong to me, then you'll know horror.

Poor Nicoli.

I'm sorry.

My condolences, ma'am.

He was a fine scholar and a delightful gentleman.

He was a crazy old fool.

Such a stupid way to die.

Ma'am, last time we were here I left some papers

in his office, I was wondering...

Yes, go ahead.

But please, don't disturb anything.

This is lieutenant Marin, police of Bucharest.

Where is the gate, please?

How do we get inside?

Hello.

For Christ's sake.

Should we drop the stakes or what?

No, no, just act natural.

Bonjour, my friend.

Hi, Marin.

I'm glad to see you're finally taking me seriously,

lieutenant.

It's very serious.

Murder.

Now why are you here?

To see if Marin is doing duty?

No we're just looking around.

Look, come here.

Empty graves, missing persons, dead Popescu,

this case making me crazy.

Have you gotten into the castle yet, lieutenant?

No, no, it's no one to open gate.

No we need written permission to enter.

Permission?

Yeah.

From who?

Oh, Director of Antiquities.

How long is that going to take?

Two weeks.

Maybe two months.

We can't wait that long.

God knows what could happen by then.

Now listen.

Listen to me, miss.

I wish this case to be solved as much as you.

Calm down, Marin.

I'm calm but I told big boss your vampire story.

You know what's happening?

What?

He scream at me for half-hour.

Now I am big trouble thank you, to you.

Yeah well the trouble is just beginning, Marin.

Department of police is not believing in the vampires.

What are you doing here, lieutenant?

What is your theory?

Your sister is mixed up in black market.

Antiques, stolen from graves.

Excuse me, lieutenant.

Please.

Thanks, Marin.

It's all right.

Rebecca.

Rebecca.

Hey.

You know you really shouldn't try so hard

to piss people off.

I'm sorry, Mel, but with him it just comes so naturally.

Yeah I told you, he's not the smartest guy in town.

But he can be a good ally.

Come on.

Here.

Can't believe I'm doing this.

Hey, wait.

Ah-ha.

My friends, what's happening?

This is Popescu's secret way in.

It's not enough I am in big trouble, huh?

You want me to be fired too?

Okay.

Okay.

Go on.

Okay, go on.

Quickly, quickly, quickly.

No.

It's blocked.

They blocked the passageway.

You are sure this is correct way?

Yes, Marin.

It wasn't like this before.

Obviously they were expecting us.

Tomorrow morning, go and talk to big boss.

Speak for yourself, yeah?

Yes, we'll do that, Marin.

Can't wait to meet him, lieutenant.

Wait, Rebecca.

Look it's getting late, we should get out of here

before dark.

Okay.

I just want to watch the place for a little while.

They're in there.

Don't let them see us.

Jesus.

We're not safe here.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, we can't do anything until daylight any way.

Come on.

Go, go.

What are you doing?

Just go.

They dare to challenge us?

Your sister is a foolish one.

Leave her alone.

I'll do anything.

Severe the ties to your mortality, Michelle,

or your pain will turn to pleasure.

She's my sister, I love her.

There's no love between the living and the dead.

What you feel is hunger.

Hunger for life.

Kneel before your master.

You promised to teach me.

Destroy her, Radu.

She curses you in her heart.

I shall grant you all I promised,

when you prove yourself worthy.

What does it say?

Man this is some wild stuff.

According to this legend, the castle was originally

owned by this family of sorcerers until this Vladislav

guy came along and seduced the daughter Circe.

She gave birth to the monstrous Radu and then

apparently Vladislav murdered most of the family off,

drove the rest of them from the region, and claimed

the castle as his own.

This Vladislav sounds like a ruthless character.

No, apparently he was the good guy.

Michelle, please.

What's wrong?

I can't, I can't.

Okay.

It's just, it's just too much right now.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry too.

What is it?

Reach out with your senses.

The violinist is a disgrace.

Teach me to fly, as you do.

Patience, pretty one.

Before the mysteries, you must learn to survive.

To hunt.

To move with stealth.

Flex your inner powers.

You are a magnificent creature.

Take him.

What, what is it?

I heard a scream.

It must have just come from the tavern.

Hey, there's your friend lieutenant Marin.

No.

Yeah.

I'll be darned.

He's spying on us.

We must go now.

The sun is coming.

Wait.

I want to see the dawn.

We will wait, until the pain begins.

Is it true, that the sunlight can kill us?

Yes.

What else?

What else can kill a vampire?

Many things.

Kill me, Radu.

You've destroyed me.

Some day, the sadness you feel will be a sweet memory.

I can't bear this any longer.

I love you, Michelle.

I shall love you until the end of time.

I will allow you, a most precious gift.

I hate you.

I'll hate you for all eternity.

We must go now.

Our powers are weakened with the light.

You're going to like this guy.

He's C.I.A. but he's totally cool.

Bob, it's Mel.

Turn off your tape recorder, buddy, I've got a favor to ask.

Totally off the record.

Bonjour, good morning, miss.

What's going on here?

Good morning, Marin.

Truthfully it's a bad morning.

Two peoples gone from village last night.

A violin boy from Guchama, a woman from car.

Gone?

Yeah.

Like how?

Gone like poof, disappearing.

Now everybody in village are talking crazy.

What is she saying?

That we shouldn't have gone to the castle.

That we reawakened something, stri...

Goi, strigoi, strigoi, vampires.

Do you believe me now, lieutenant?

No, no, no, I don't believe, it's black market,

this violin boy, he's no good, he's no good violin for sure.

You are hopeless, lieutenant.

Come on, Mel.

Right.

Later, Marin.

Miss.

Okay, Bob won't be here until about noon.

Gives us some time to look around.

Come on.

Jesus, Marin.

Don't worry, I am only me.

What's happening?

Just exploring, Marin.

Ah.

Looking for vampire, huh?

Oh, Americans, crazy people.

Vampire.

It's very nice up here.

Maybe I stay here today, with you, huh?

Suit yourself, Marin.

Just don't be surprised at what you see.

Hey, bud.

Jesus, Bob.

Hey, Marin, it's okay, he's a friend.

Everybody cool here?

Yeah.

Bob this is Rebecca; Rebecca this is my friend Bob.

Hi, Bob, nice to meet you.

Ma'am.

And lieutenant Marin, Bucharest police.

I know.

Sir.

Hello, C.I.A. Bob, huh?

I thought you were a smuggler at first.

No, sir.

Okay.

What's the target here?

We've got to get inside.

You think we can make it up this wall?

Give it a shot.

Good.

You got the stuff?

Weird shopping list, buddy.

What are we, vampire hunting?

It's your show, man, I'm just doing a cameo.

Spotty bag, light tight, 100 percent opaque.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, lieutenant.

Night-viewing device.

Don't want to mess with it in daylight.

You're going to love this.

Silver bullets, melted down from my neighbor's

antique crucifix.

You owe her $500, pal.

$500?

She started out asking $750.

Nice work, Bob.

Hey, man, it's my pleasure.

This makes six rounds each, that's if

we're all participating.

Ma'am, you know how to use it?

Yeah.

Think I can handle it.

No, no, no, no, no.

Are you with us, Marin?

Okay, but don't tell big boss, okay?

Ma'am.

Rebecca.

Yes, ma'am.

What are you doing?

I'm going up.

Bob and I are old rock climbing buddies.

Are you a climber?

Uh-uh.

We'll find a way to get you in.

Be careful.

Don't you worry.

Think we can make it?

No problem.

Your turn, man.

You can do that?

No.

That's why I climb with him.

Good luck.

Thanks, man.

Ready?

Jesus.

Good climbing, man.

We're in.

Okay we're going to go offline now.

Unless you have an emergency, don't call us, we'll call you.

No.

Mel.

Sounds like trouble ahead.

Female voice, we're going to check it out.

No.

The witch doesn't sleep by day.

Hands up, grannie.

Bob, come in.

Mel, please, answer me.

Hello, hello?

It's too much mountains for radio.

We should go for help.

We can't leave yet.

What if they got away?

Okay, we wait and see.

No matter what happens, don't hurt Michelle.

Yes, of course.

You understand what I'm telling you, Marin?

Yes, don't hurt sister, yes.

Okay.

Wait until it is most dark, so no one will see me.

Don't touch me.

Be kind to me, and I shall bestow upon you

a priceless treasure.

Your blood grows bitter.

Soon you'll be mine, completely.

The throne is mine.

My treasure.

Give it to me, at once.

No.

You defy me?

It belongs to the fledgling, Mother.

I bestowed it upon her.

You are forbidden my spoils.

The only treasures are my birthright.

They are mine alone.

Anger me not, Mother, for there will be,

a bloodbath.

She is the cause of your treachery.

Destroy her.

She is my chosen disciple.

She acts as your master, you are her master,

as I am yours.

I have no master.

She must die.

Forgive me, Mother.

You dare to desecrate me?

Curse you forever.

Now I have it all, don't I?

Pretty one?

Let me drink from the bloodstone.

You're not ready.

Its power will drive you mad.

I killed my father, my mother, my entire bloodline.

For you.

What will you grant me in return?

Forgiveness for what you've done to me.

There is not enough forgiveness in the universe

for all I've done.

Miss Morgan.

Miss Morgan.

I'm from the U.S. Embassy.

I'm a friend of Rebecca's.

I would very much like to help you.

I know Rebecca would too.

No.

This mortal has seen too much.

Please, sir, no.

Feast upon him, Michelle.

No.

See the fear, pulsing in his veins.

Drink.

No, please.

Savor the sweetness of his agony.

Please, miss Morgan, don't.

We can get you out of here.

Drink, Michelle.

Forget you were ever mortal.

No, please.

No!

Michelle, can you hear me?

Rebecca!

Michelle, it's me.

Mel.

Can you hear me?

Please, Michelle, answer me.

Mel, please, somebody.

Can anybody hear me, please?

Michelle?

Michelle, please, it's Becky, please.

Mel, where are you?

I can see you.

If you can hear me, please answer me.

Michelle, Mel, somebody please.

Please answer me.

This mortal love you bear is a threat to our existence.

Please, Radu, I have to speak to her.

I'll come back, I promise.

I'll do anything, if you spare her life.

Very well.

Your sister's life in return for your absolute devotion.

Michelle.

Michelle.

Don't come any closer, Becky.

Come back with me, Michelle.

I can't.

I have to stay here.

You're so cold.

You're dead.

You have to go now, Becky.

Not without you.

Please, or he'll destroy you too.

What about my friend?

He's Radu's prisoner.

Please, please take me to him.

Such a sweet reunion.

Marin?

He's dead.

This gun is loaded with silver bullets,

and I will use it if I have to.

I want you to release my friends and then Michelle

and I are leaving, and you better not try and stop us.

Do you understand?

Perfectly.

Rebecca.

Thank God.

Let them go.

As you wish.

Okay, Michelle, let's get out of here.

Take them, fledgling.

Let there be a bloodbath.

Come on, Michelle.

We're leaving.

Kill me, Becky.

No.

Get out of the way, Michelle.

Please, end this nightmare.

No.

Michelle, don't!

No, Michelle.

You're mine.

The daylight.

Come on, Michelle.

No, I can't.

Leave me.

No.

Please, Becky, let me die.

No, miss Morgan, we're going to get you out of here.

No.

God.

God, no.

Lift.

Cover her, cover her.

Cover her!

No, no, no!

The bloodstone.

Give it to me.

Give it to me and I shall set you free.

You want it?

Go for it.
