You can let me through peacefully.

Or I can kill every one of you.

Your choice.

Hmm.

Huh?

You make me kill every last one of you,

but then there's nothing fucking here.

Why not keep the world in darkness forever and destroy it all at once?

She must have exhausted her power.

We should attack again now

while she's weak.

She's not weak.

I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner.

Who did you lose?

Her mother.

Though she's not exactly dead.

I'm sorry.

I know how she feels.

I found a well.

There are places we can sleep which are dry enough.

There's a hearth, too, where we can light a fire and cook.

Thanks, Mizrak.

How much do you know about Erzsebet Bathory?

She absorbed the power of an Egyptian goddess called Sekhmet.

Which apparently is a lot of fucking power.

I went to find the source of it.

Her power.

Perhaps it would be a key to a weakness.

A way to destroy her.

I found a temple half-buried in the Egyptian desert.

Half temple, half tomb, in fact.

Sekhmet's tomb.

You mean the goddess is dead?

Dead for thousands of years.

Her blood, however, is still stored in the temple.

Goddess blood stays fresh, I suppose.

Why did they keep her blood?

So that one day, Sekhmet could return to Earth and rule again,

as she did at the dawn of time.

Which meant someone drinking the blood.

Someone it would not destroy.

Erzsebet.

She's very powerful.

I threw everything I had at her, but she brushed it aside.

We had to run.

Do you have a plan?

An Egyptian deity has two souls, called the ba and the ka.

The first is present in the blood.

The second is in the goddess's heart, which is preserved in her mummy.

She gave her heart to her mother?

It's an ancient pagan practice. A preserved desiccated corpse.

Oh. Uh, sounds lovely.

But are grounds for hope.

Centuries ago, the mummy was stolen.

Drolta was Sekhmet's High Priestess

and did everything she could to conceal this fact.

I spent the last few years tracking it,

the tomb robbers, their descendants,

across Africa and then to Europe,

finally, France.

I believe it's in Paris now,

where I must go to destroy it.

And I could use some help, Richter.

You're a Belmont, after all.

When I am strong again,

I will make him grovel and piss himself in terror.

I will cut his half-breed head from his half-breed neck

and tie it to my chariot for all the world to see.

Alucard, son of Dracula,

vanquished by my power.

How dare you leave me all alone.

He's a living legend who's known my family for hundreds of years.

And he appears from nowhere,

saying I should go with him on this important mission to fight evil.

And I'm a Belmont. How can I refuse?

But I know Maria won't come.

She won't leave Tera.

And you don't want to leave Maria.

She'll want revenge.

On the Abbot, on Erzsebet, which will get her killed.

I could tell her this plan.

Going to Paris is the way to get revenge, win this war, but suppose it isn't?

Staying here to be defeated again isn't a plan at all.

Speaker woman.

"Think what a powerful servant you would be," you said.

You do magic.

Do some magic.

"Loyal too," you said.

As if you could be another Drolta.

You are not Drolta.

But perhaps I have a use for you.

The Abbott,

the man who loves you but sacrificed you to me,

go to him.

Bring him to me, now.

Machecoul's a long way.

I don't know if I can keep making ice that far.

Find out.

Give them eternal rest, O Lord.

And let the eternal light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace through the mercy of God.

Amen.

No songs today.

Why is that?

I'm sorry that all your friends are dead.

How can a creature like you be sorry?

The girl from Saint-Domingue, she was your friend.

You remember her, don't you?

Yes.

That is not possible.

These men died because they believed in you.

So you pray for them, hoping it will help.

But not for us.

The night creatures you will burn because you think we offend your God.

You are devils from hell, and that's where you'll return.

What would be the point of prayers?

And when the time comes, you will see me there.

Tera.

Aren't you going to tell me how strangely beautiful I look?

We saved our little girl.

Did we?

The Vampire Messiah demands your attendance.

So, of course, she sends you.

And is she your messiah now?

What does she want?

She wants you to come when she calls.

You still love her?

Maria?

Even now you're a vampire?

Of course I love her!

Stay away from Maria, Tera.

If you harm her now, your sacrifice will have been for nothing.

Oh, what a loving father you are.

No.

What will you do if I don't cage you?

Will you do more than just sing?

Whatever happens with your mother, Maria, it won't bring you peace.

She's a vampire. We have to accept that.

Just like that?

No, no. Sorry. Of course not just like that.

And don't talk as if my mother matters to you as much as she does to me.

You chose to leave her there.

It was her choice, Maria. And it was a choice between her and you.

No. You needed to escape.

And you were only able to take me with you because I was unconscious.

You ran away, Richter.

It's what you do.

So, run away to Paris.

I don't want you here anyway.

Welcome to immortality.

What do you want?

Have you fed yet?

It's impossible to fight it,

but it doesn't make you an animal.

You're not just a beast consumed by lust for blood.

You have a mind which can think and a heart which can love.

I could tell her what a treacherous little snake you are. That's why you're here.

Well, you can relax.

I'm not going back to Erzsebet.

I see.

That's good. You're following your heart then.

But you might want to eat something first.

What are they?

Really?

Vampires.

Me and Richter,

we used to think it was fun,

which is stupid,

to kill them.

They were just evil things there to be killed.

What's it like to have one as your father?

You mean, are they all evil?

Well, they're not all Erzsebet Bathory.

My father, in the end...

I believe there was good in him.

He loved my mother, and that made him...

not evil, at least.

I've known human men who were far worse.

Like my father.

He's a Forgemaster.

Families, eh?

So, love?

Love can redeem them.

Love is a fragile, capricious thing in this cold, fleeting world.

But if anything can redeem anyone, then yes.

Love.

Probably.

What happened to your father in the end?

I killed him.

The National Guard.

- I know who they are. - The Revolutionary Army.

The government in Paris must have sent them to join us.

You said there's a light in the darkness, but I can't see any light.

We lost.

We lost completely.

There was a power down there.

It swept Papa Legba aside like a cobweb.

Papa Legba is the gatekeeper, Annette,

who opens and closes the portals to the spirit world.

You need to go further.

Beyond Papa Legba, through the gate.

Listen. Look.

Hear. See.

Why did you give this task to me?

You are much more powerful than me. You should have come yourself.

Hear.

See.

Hear what? See what?

Annette.

Are you all right?

Maria doesn't want me here.

So we should go.

Mizrak will keep an eye on her.

And there's someone else who can come and protect her.

Countess.

Your Magnificence.

We need to discuss our next steps.

We agreed our first objective should be the Revolutionary stronghold of Nantes.

Ugh. Your trivial plan.

No.

When we are ready, we march on Paris.

Cut this revolution's head off.

I believe they're fond of beheadings.

But that isn't why I summoned you here.

You did not summon me.

You asked me to come, and I agreed.

How many of your hell-beasts did you lose?

More than I would have wished, but I can make more.

You, too, suffered some losses.

Your monks are all dead. Use them.

No.

I won't do that.

It seems, sometimes, the creature retains its soul.

And those were Christian men.

I will let them rest in peace,

if God wills it.

They're not simply your servants then.

They will do as I command.

You could bring her back.

And she would still be herself.

She's a vampire. She was undead.

I don't know if the machine can work with such material.

You are suffering, grieving.

And your servant's death is difficult to accept.

I do not accept it.

And you have the means to return her to me.

You will do so.

But she's a vampire. What I said about returning their souls?

She doesn't have a soul.

You think that's the difference between us, don't you, Father Abbot?

You and your monks have souls, and we do not.

Bring her back.

Edouard's made his choice, Annette.

You'll see him again.

Where's Maria?

At least I can say goodbye to her.

She ran off to meet the Revolutionary Army.

I'll go after her if you wish.

Well, if it's the National Guard, she'll be in her element,

catching up on the news about Paris,

debating them to death about God knows what.

Tell her we looked for her, and we'll see her again too.

Tell her...

Don't tell her anything.

When all this is over,

I'll tell her myself.

The Vampire Messiah welcomes you back from hell.

Father Forgemaster.

This was very kind.

But I hope you don't expect me to obey you.

As always, I have one mistress and one mistress alone.

And she has a world to conquer.
