00:03:00I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
00:03:30How many years had passed since that night I lost Rebecca?
00:03:41And yet the grief still burned in my soul.
00:03:45How many countries had I crossed in my quest for revenge?
00:03:49How many vampires had I slain?
00:03:52And how many countless more were spawned in that time?
00:03:57For me there is no answer, no comfort, no rest.
00:04:04The trail of blood led me back again to Eastern Europe in search of Ash, the music lover.
00:04:27I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I
00:04:57I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I

00:05:57Vampires are the spawn of many bloodlines. Some are monstrous creatures forced to hide their faces from society. Others are beings of age-old grace walking freely through the world of mortals.
00:06:27The music filled my heart with rapture, until my senses rose to the scent of evil. Ash was close at hand.
00:06:55He was a master vampire, with powers evolved over countless centuries. He reached into my eyes and forced me to look away. He was mesmerized by the girl who played piano.
00:07:25You can dance next time on stage. I won't cry.
00:07:35Sophia. Yes? Please accept this small token of my admiration. It's beautiful. Thank you.
00:07:55If I may be so bold, please, you must pay us a visit some evening, as my guest.
00:08:17Thank you. Maybe sometime soon.
00:08:21Whenever you wish.
00:08:25I'm a patient man.
00:08:28Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good night.
00:08:34Good night.
00:08:39He's weird.
00:08:44This evening was great.
00:08:46Thanks for coming.
00:08:48Yeah, it was our pleasure.
00:08:50I'll see you tomorrow.
00:08:52Okay. Bye-bye.
00:09:06A master vampire is invulnerable to surprise attack, except in the moments when its bloodlust rises and its senses are utterly focused on its prey.
00:09:22His senses were focused on the girl. It seemed a good time to separate him from his neck.
00:09:53Let me go!
00:09:54It's all right. You're safe now.
00:09:58In the last moment, I chose her life over the life of Ash. It was a moment of weakness I shall forever regret.
00:10:11Are you all right?
00:10:13Yeah. Thanks.
00:10:18He's gone now.
00:10:20Well, this is perfect. First night on stage, I attract a stalker.
00:10:24He gave you something else, I believe. His calling card?
00:10:28Oh, yeah. This. Club Muse.
00:10:34Why are you so curious? What do you know about him?
00:10:39Only that he seems to be a great admirer of yours.
00:10:44I'll walk you home, if I may.
00:10:47Definitely. Please. I'd appreciate that.
00:11:17How was the concert?
00:11:42The repertoire was sublime. The concert was mediocre at best, except for the new pianist, Sophia. She has the gift.
00:11:59How was the concert, Master?
00:12:01Sublime, Cassandra.
00:12:03I would like to attend the symphony sometime.
00:12:08Someday, perhaps, we shall go together. But leave us now.
00:12:21Anything of interest?
00:12:24The General is back again. He's become enamored with Angelica.
00:12:33That could be amusing.
00:12:36Anton knows you are displeased with him. He has to speak with you.
00:12:51I pray the fates are smiling tonight.
00:12:57Please, enjoy the night.
00:13:01Drinks on the house.
00:13:13Fetch me, Anton.
00:13:19You're American?
00:13:20Yeah. You?
00:13:23I come from many countries.
00:13:28Oh, really? How's that?
00:13:31I travel the world.
00:13:35Doing what?
00:13:37A sort of personal quest.
00:13:42Oh. That's cool.
00:13:47I love this city. It's so elegantly decayed.
00:13:52The so-called Cities of Mysteries.
00:13:55The Cities of Mysteries? I've never heard of that.
00:13:59It's a city where the ways of antiquity exist in league with the modern world.
00:14:12Oh, here's my place. Thanks for everything.
00:14:16I don't have a telephone, but if you ever want to have a cup of coffee or something, you know where to find me.
00:14:23You must be careful here. Don't walk alone at night. Lock your doors and windows. Please.
00:14:33Hey, come on, Zachary. You're scaring me.
00:14:37I lived in New York. I can take care of myself.
00:14:42As you wish.
00:14:45Good night.
00:14:47Good night. And thanks.
00:14:51For nothing.
00:15:06I had seen the look in Ash's eye. I had seen the same look in a thousand others.
00:15:11He'd be back to claim his prey. The game had just begun.
00:15:20I took it upon myself to watch over her till the dawn.
00:15:31You disappoint me, Anton.
00:15:33Why, Ash?
00:15:37What have I done?
00:15:39We struck a bargain, you and I. Immortality and sanctuary in exchange for half your worldly goods.
00:15:49How dare you withhold a portion of your wealth from me?
00:15:54Ash, I swear it for you.
00:15:56I give you sanctuary, blood to sustain you. We share the sacred mistress, and you repay me with such uninspired larceny.
00:16:08Please, Ash, that money's for my children.
00:16:12You are the child now, Anton, and I am the father. I will rip your children to pieces if you dare to betray me.
00:16:22No, Ash.
00:16:26Please, spare my children. I will do anything you ask.
00:16:32You have scarcely begun your passage into mastery. You cannot survive without me.
00:16:44One more chance. I beg of you.
00:16:48You have two days to correct this insult.
00:16:55Iris will contact your attorney tomorrow.
00:16:58Thank you, Ash. I'll call Walter tonight. It will be taken care of.
00:17:18I surprised you, Master.
00:17:20Cassandra, your game is a dangerous one.
00:17:24Cassandra?
00:17:28Lie with me tonight.
00:17:32Let me satisfy your cravings.
00:17:38You distract me with your sensuality.
00:17:42Leave me to my meditations.
00:17:46Ash, come quickly. The General's had a problem.
00:17:55It was an accident! It was an accident!
00:17:59Bastard! You killed her! I saw him!
00:18:11It's not my fault.
00:18:13General, relax. I'm not here to enforce the law. I'm here to satisfy your cravings.
00:18:21I'm not here to enforce the law. I'm here to serve you.
00:18:26Please. It's very important to avoid a scandal.
00:18:32The last thing any of us wants is a scandal, my friend.
00:18:37You and Dimitri may dispose of her.
00:18:42Let's get this over with quickly, Cassandra.
00:18:46The smell is disgusting.
00:18:48I shall have to use a liter of perfume to find anyone to dance with me.
00:18:52You don't appreciate the smell of death, Dimitri.
00:18:56I find it intoxicating.
00:19:00Yes.
00:19:02You are depraved, little bitch.
00:19:06Join me, Dimitri.
00:19:09It's a shame to let her go to waste.
00:19:36What troubles you, child?
00:19:59The wanderer you prophesied. I faced him tonight.
00:20:05At last, he has arrived.
00:20:09He held the blade of Laertes.
00:20:12Draw him close to you. Fear him not. You are the stronger one. You will prevail.
00:21:35Dimitri...
00:22:05Excuse me.
00:22:28You're Sophia Christopher, aren't you?
00:22:31Yes, I am.
00:22:33Can I help you?
00:22:35My employer offers his deepest apologies for frightening you last night.
00:22:39He asked me to convey he was merely seeing you safely to your home.
00:22:47I guess I did sort of overreact.
00:22:50His name is Monsieur Ashe. He's a wealthy patron of the arts.
00:22:55A bit eccentric, perhaps, but a most gentle man.
00:23:00He's quite taken by your performance and wishes to engage you in a private recital at Club Muse.
00:23:06Oh, really? When?
00:23:09Tonight, if possible. For a fee of $1,000.
00:23:13Tonight? Sure, that's great.
00:23:18I'll come around with the car just after sunset.
00:23:21Okay. That's great.
00:23:45Argh!
00:24:03Zachary! What are you doing here?
00:24:06Hoping to see you. You're going somewhere?
00:24:10Yes. The most amazing thing happened today.
00:24:13This woman stopped me on the street and hired me to play at that place, Club Muse.
00:24:18Club Muse? This woman... she was out in the daylight?
00:24:25Yeah, it was daytime.
00:24:28That man who followed me? He's the owner. He's a patron of the arts.
00:24:32They're paying me $1,000 for one solo recital.
00:24:36Sophia, you must come with me and listen carefully to what I have to tell you.
00:24:45Tell me tomorrow, okay, Zachary? I've gotta go now.
00:24:48Sophia, please. Don't get in that car.
00:24:52Zachary, I'm nervous enough as it is, okay?
00:24:57I like you, but you're not my boyfriend or anything, so don't get bossy, okay?
00:25:06The woman in the car was no vampire, but she reeked of evil.
00:25:13I should have stopped her, but something held me back.
00:25:17With shame, I realized. I hesitated in the knowledge that she would lead me to his lair.
00:25:23She crossed the threshold of her own free will.
00:25:49To intervene in that moment would have jeopardized my quest.
00:26:19This place is beautiful. It suits our needs.
00:26:37You may begin.
00:27:07Please.
00:27:36Continue.
00:28:06The hours passed. Mortals came and went.
00:28:26I gathered my courage and went down for a closer look.
00:28:37I'm sorry, sir. It's a private club.
00:28:40That's quite all right, gentlemen. I'm a private man.
00:28:59The place was a fortress. An age-old den of evil.
00:29:04The air of malevolence dwarfed my senses.
00:29:09Sir, I must ask you to please leave.
00:29:16You cannot enter here.
00:29:25My mistake.
00:29:32I reached into her eyes, but I could not master her.
00:29:37This was not the time or place to rush blindly into battle.
00:29:41I pitied Sophia, but I was not her keeper.
00:30:07Don't leave me, Sophia.
00:30:14You are a goddess of music.
00:30:18I can make you immortal.
00:30:31Bravo!
00:30:51I waited for her until the dawn.
00:30:54But in my heart I knew her fate was sealed.
00:30:58This mine had been sealed an eternity ago.
00:31:09A fate of endless night time.
00:31:12And endless hunger for innocent blood.
00:31:15I drink in shame, only to survive.
00:31:20I cannot bear to face my prey.
00:31:46Fear not, child. I will not harm you.
00:32:02I am God's most desolate creature.
00:32:06A vampire with a mortal's heart.
00:32:09A predator cursed to feel pity for his prey.
00:32:13He destroyed the one who spawned me.
00:32:16I swear I will destroy his entire bloodline.
00:32:19The ones who stole me from the warmth of the sun.
00:32:26In me there is no comfort, no peace.
00:32:56Night has come.
00:33:22Please, let me go.
00:33:25Your apprenticeship has just begun.
00:33:31What have you done to me?
00:33:34I have initiated you into the mysteries.
00:33:39Please, let me go!
00:33:46There is no one to hear you.
00:33:50No hope of rescue.
00:33:54No possibility of escape.
00:34:05What do you want from me?
00:34:07Absolute devotion and the pleasure of your music.
00:34:11In return, I offer you the secret sought by man since the dawn of time.
00:34:17Eternal life.
00:34:19No, let me go home now.
00:34:22Embrace me willingly and your passage will be painless.
00:34:28Resist me and you will agonize to the end of time.
00:34:39I shall drink from you slowly until you embrace me as your master.
00:34:47How can you abandon me?
00:34:51Soon enough, you will beg me for deliverance.
00:35:17Cassandra.
00:35:30I surprised you, master.
00:35:32I remind you, Cassandra, it is forbidden to enter the master's lair.
00:35:38You're keeping the piano girl, aren't you?
00:35:41She is a sweet one, isn't she?
00:35:45Come, Cassandra.
00:35:48Darkness calls.
00:35:50Take me out into the great night, master.
00:35:53I crave the hunt.
00:35:56There is danger in the hunt.
00:35:59The night is no longer our exclusive domain.
00:36:03It seems unnatural to live as we do, secluded from the pulse of life.
00:36:08I hunger for the chase.
00:36:13You shall hunt, Cassandra.
00:36:16But it is a rare privilege.
00:36:22Master, may I speak with you?
00:36:26In private?
00:36:28Soon, Dimitri, soon.
00:36:32I promise you.
00:36:38Cassandra.
00:36:41Leave us.
00:36:44Wait for me below.
00:36:55You abducted her.
00:36:57She was irresistible.
00:36:59You're becoming reckless, Ash.
00:37:01You're jeopardizing everything.
00:37:04You bring your brain through the labyrinth, not through the front door of my nightclub.
00:37:09You are not the master, Iris.
00:37:13You are not my master, Ash.
00:37:17You're my employer.
00:37:19Apropos of which, did you speak with Anton Taterny?
00:37:22I arranged for Anton to meet with him tonight.
00:37:25Leave's drop on their discussion.
00:37:28I'll be upstairs later.
00:38:09I'm frightened, Master.
00:38:19The night is so vast.
00:38:23Sharpen your senses to the prey.
00:38:27Don't let the chaos of life confuse you.
00:38:33Listen, Cassandra.
00:38:37Prepare yourself.
00:39:01Hello?
00:39:15Feel my heartbeat.
00:39:21Let me feel yours.
00:39:27Feel our hearts together.
00:39:40Cassandra.
00:40:08I applaud your depravity.
00:40:11But you cannot carry on like this in a public thoroughfare.
00:40:31Sophia still lived.
00:40:33I could sense her despair through the walls of his stronghold.
00:40:45My fear was not that Ash would kill her, for that would have been the kind of fate.
00:40:51My fear was he would curse her with eternal life and her destruction would fall to me.
00:41:15You are a stranger here.
00:41:17I am master of this city.
00:41:21At midnight tonight, walk through my door in peace.
00:41:43Make certain that your people have everything prepared as we planned.
00:41:45Remember to put the package on the plate behind the package compartment.
00:41:48Good evening, Anton.
00:41:50Walter.
00:41:51Ash.
00:41:53We are discussing the arrangements for our business venture.
00:41:59Excellent.
00:42:01Thank you for coming, Walter.
00:42:03Always a pleasure, Ash.
00:42:06I'll tell Iris to extend every courtesy.
00:42:16Dimitri, take your friend downstairs.
00:42:24And Alexander, remove your head from the bar and put on some evening clothes.
00:42:46A vampire with a mortal ally is master of both night and day.
00:42:51The woman Iris was a danger to me and to the safety of my resting place.
00:42:57Ash invited me.
00:42:59You are welcome here.
00:43:01This way, please.
00:43:18Before me were the spawn of Ash, commingling with mortals.
00:43:22To purge this den would be a bloody nightmare.
00:43:44You are a stranger to my city.
00:43:47You have stood between me and my prey.
00:43:53What is your name?
00:43:55Zachary.
00:43:59You stalk me.
00:44:02What is it you seek?
00:44:05The girl, Sophia.
00:44:07Sophia is mine.
00:44:11Give her to me and I shall leave in peace.
00:44:14You are no hero.
00:44:16The scent of death betrays you.
00:44:18You are the hunter, the scourge of our bloodline.
00:44:28Fear him not, Ash.
00:44:30It is you who will strike the murder blow.
00:44:38Do not humiliate yourself.
00:44:41You are no match for me.
00:44:44Sit.
00:44:48This is the blade of Laertes.
00:44:55A vampire slayer.
00:44:58These symbols endow it with magical powers.
00:45:03It was mine once.
00:45:06It was stolen from me 700 years ago.
00:45:12I offer you the blade for the life of Sophia.
00:45:16I claim the blade and the life of Sophia.
00:45:22And your life as well.
00:45:31Our lives are intertwined, Zachary.
00:45:35Drink blood with me.
00:45:41You heard the prophecy.
00:45:49It is I who will prevail.
00:45:53You are a pitiful creature.
00:45:56You lust for blood, but your heart cries out for mercy.
00:46:00You deny your predatory nature.
00:46:03I despise it, Ash, but I do not deny it.
00:46:07I am spawned from your own cursed bloodline.
00:46:12Who is your master?
00:46:14I killed my master.
00:46:19Let us strike a bargain, Zachary.
00:46:22In our mutual best interests, I will give you sanctuary.
00:46:26A willing consort to feast upon this one night.
00:46:30Tomorrow, you must leave here and never look back.
00:46:35If you agree to that,
00:46:39I'll let you see Sophia.
00:46:43All right.
00:46:45I agree.
00:46:47This is the largest underground stronghold in Eastern Europe.
00:46:5280 feet beneath the city,
00:46:57a labyrinth of caves with a dozen secret exits.
00:47:03It was renovated in the 18th century by my predecessor and master,
00:47:08Radu of Transylvania.
00:47:15Here, we are free to pursue our predilections
00:47:21and pursue those who appreciate the pleasures of our kiss.
00:47:30I followed him into the heart of his lair.
00:47:33He held me in his thrall.
00:47:36Sophia was somewhere close at hand,
00:47:39but I was powerless to act against him.
00:47:51Drink without shame, Zachary.
00:47:56She is a willing partner.
00:48:01I leave you in peace.
00:48:22Who is this stranger?
00:48:26Why is he so sad?
00:48:30He yearns for redemption,
00:48:33but there is none.
00:48:37He is a stranger.
00:48:41He is a stranger.
00:48:45He is a stranger.
00:48:50Leave him be.
00:48:53He's my plaything.
00:49:00Kiss me.
00:49:03I warn you, child. Stand away from me.
00:49:11Drink from me.
00:49:14Take what you desire,
00:49:17but please spare my life.
00:49:21Run from me, child. I have no wish to violate your flesh.
00:49:26No.
00:49:29Run from me!
00:49:31No!
00:49:47No.
00:49:49No.
00:50:14Let me go.
00:50:17I swear to God I'll kill you.
00:50:30Please, don't hurt me.
00:50:34I have no wish to hurt you.
00:50:37I offer you deliverance from your pain.
00:50:39My friends know I'm here.
00:50:42They'll come looking for me.
00:50:44I welcome the diversion.
00:50:48So be it.
00:50:52To live forever
00:50:55is life's most precious gift,
00:50:58a priceless opportunity to perfect your art
00:51:02through the centuries.
00:51:08Accept me as your master,
00:51:11and you will be an avatar of the music world.
00:51:15No!
00:51:33Iris.
00:51:35I require more incense.
00:51:38As you wish. I have it, Dimitri.
00:51:42Ash, I must speak with you at once.
00:51:50Why do you disturb me?
00:51:53Anton and Walter are plotting to leave the country.
00:51:58Where are they now?
00:52:00Walter's in the brothel. Anton's in his lair.
00:52:05Tell him to meet me above and bring Walter to us immediately.
00:52:21You are my child, Anton.
00:52:24My lifeblood courses through your veins.
00:52:27What compels you to defy me?
00:52:30No, no, no. Everything is taken care of, master.
00:52:33Walter will make the transfer immediately.
00:52:36What reason is there to deceive me
00:52:40when all that I possess, all my comforts and protections,
00:52:44are yours to share?
00:52:46Have I not given you all that I vowed?
00:52:49Yes, Ash. You are a man true to your word.
00:52:54And you, Anton, what good is your word to me?
00:53:00I swear to you, there will be no more irregularities.
00:53:05Kiss my hand, Anton.
00:53:09Declare your devotion.
00:53:12You are my master, Ash.
00:53:19Walter, please, join us.
00:53:24Anton has made his intentions clear to me.
00:53:28The transfers will be made tomorrow.
00:53:30Iris can confirm the transaction.
00:53:34I am mortally offended, gentlemen,
00:53:38that you partake my generosity
00:53:41and yet continue to conspire against me.
00:53:44No, Ash. We are eager to cooperate.
00:53:47Anton is being most generous.
00:53:50In my opinion, he has no legal obligation to you.
00:53:53You, dear Anton,
00:53:57disappoint me greatly.
00:54:01And you, Walter,
00:54:04as a practitioner of the legal arts,
00:54:08are beneath my contempt.
00:54:11No!
00:54:14No!
00:54:18No!
00:54:23Both of you have betrayed my trust.
00:54:40Feast, Anton.
00:54:45I have met Master, please.
00:54:50He is my only friend.
00:54:53Prove your devotion to me.
00:55:15You are my master, Ash.
00:55:19Your cowardice is a danger to us all.
00:55:26No!
00:55:40All that I have given you I now take away.
00:55:45Have mercy, Master.
00:55:51There is no mercy, Anton.
00:55:55Only darkness eternal.
00:56:08You can't behave like this in my nightclub.
00:56:12I could not let them leave.
00:56:15They would have exposed us.
00:56:17They would have exposed us.
00:56:20And what happens now?
00:56:22Will Walter's associates call the police?
00:56:24Witnesses can place him here,
00:56:26and I'm the one who must face their questions.
00:56:29You will deal with it as you always have.
00:56:32You and our friends in high places.
00:56:36What goes on in your sanctuary is no concern to me.
00:56:40But this...
00:56:42This is where I draw the line.
00:56:47Do not challenge me, Iris.
00:56:50I have troubles enough.
00:56:52I have been generous with you.
00:56:55Do not betray me,
00:56:57or I shall draw the line across your throat.
00:57:05Master.
00:57:06I heard that.
00:57:09Burn in hell, Cassandra.
00:57:13I was displeased with Anton.
00:57:17As he grows displeased with you.
00:57:23Anton tried to gain his freedom.
00:57:26Your master holds you in eternal slavery.
00:57:32Stop that, Cassandra.
00:57:34You're disgusting.
00:57:37You are the disgusting one.
00:57:42You are as guilty as we.
00:57:47And yet, we shall live forever.
00:57:52While you grow old,
00:57:56and ugly,
00:57:59and die.
00:58:03How long have you been Ash's protégé?
00:58:08Two centuries and a half.
00:58:12And you?
00:58:17Two centuries and a half.
00:58:21Your reign as his favored one has ended.
00:58:25Sophia has replaced you in his affections.
00:58:30Jealousy becomes you, Iris.
00:58:34We joke amongst us how you yearn for our master's kiss.
00:58:47I lay there in irreverie.
00:58:50The innocence blood like pins and needles through my flesh.
00:58:54I prayed for death to release me from my oath of vengeance.
00:58:58But God mopped my despair with visions of Rebecca.
00:59:02And my last days of happiness, a century ago.
00:59:08Absence and poetry were my foolish passions.
00:59:12Rebecca was my inspiration.
00:59:37And Serena, the seductress who stole my life from me.
01:00:37I needed less than a wine glass of her blood.
01:00:40I needed little to sustain me.
01:00:43And yet she begged for more.
01:01:08When can I venture into the great night alone?
01:01:12Patience, child.
01:01:15There is still much for you to learn.
01:01:18Lie with me tonight.
01:01:21I crave your affection.
01:01:24Leave me, Cassandra.
01:01:27My patience is short.
01:01:38Master, I have a problem.
01:01:51What is it to me, true?
01:01:54I accidentally killed my consort.
01:01:59I'm sorry, master. I couldn't help myself.
01:02:05Dispose what's left of him in the pit.
01:02:08First go to the salon and help Iris dispose of Anton and Walter.
01:02:13Anton is dead? How?
01:02:17He betrayed my trust.
01:02:22So I beheaded him.
01:02:25My condolences, master. He was a vile man.
01:02:29Go now. Leave me in peace.
01:02:47Sophia.
01:02:50No. Please.
01:02:56Your friend, Zachary, wishes to see you.
01:03:01Zachary. Here.
01:03:05Come. You must make yourself more presentable.
01:03:55No!
01:04:00No!
01:04:05Sophia!
01:04:09I have honoured my obligation to you.
01:04:18Sophia! Sophia!
01:04:21Don't tell me what!
01:04:37My senses overwhelmed by the innocent's blood.
01:04:40I did not hear them entering the chamber.
01:04:43It was a moment of surrender I would not repeat.
01:04:46I searched for a crack in the wall,
01:04:48a gap in the doorway through which to escape.
01:04:51But where no light can enter, a shadow cannot pass.
01:04:57Come on, Anton. Don't be difficult.
01:05:01Careful. It's hot.
01:05:05At last. Poor Yorick.
01:05:09Our brains! Damn you, Anton! Still making trouble.
01:05:14Give me that, you idiot!
01:05:16Iris, don't miss the floor.
01:05:20Leave us, Dimitri.
01:05:24Master, I'll be in my lair freshening up.
01:05:29Don't forget my incense, Iris.
01:05:37This is the key to Zachary's lair.
01:05:43Tomorrow, when the sun is at its zenith,
01:05:47take his sleeping body to the courtyard and render him to dust.
01:05:52I am not your vampire slayer, Ash.
01:05:56And from now on, I want you to spare me these intrigues of yours.
01:06:01But there's one favour I'll do for you.
01:06:06If you give me something in return.
01:06:09Anything. But what you most desire.
01:06:13The girl Sophia. I want you to kill her.
01:06:18Do not mock me, Iris.
01:06:21Sophia's life is more precious to me than yours.
01:06:25Oh, God. You're in love with her.
01:06:30What a poor, pitiful Romeo you are.
01:06:34As she grows stronger, you grow weaker.
01:06:38Destroy her, Ash, or she'll be your ruin.
01:07:08No.
01:07:39You have spirit, Sophia.
01:07:43And a fierce will to live.
01:07:52They will serve you well in the centuries to come.
01:07:58The hour has arrived to taste the blood of the dead.
01:08:04The hour has arrived to taste the blood of your master.
01:08:10No, please don't!
01:08:12I will have you, Sophia.
01:08:15Embrace me willingly.
01:08:17And I vow not to spoil that portion of your soul which is the wellspring of your artistry.
01:08:24No!
01:08:26I beg of you, Sophia.
01:08:29I have no wish to defile the music in your heart.
01:08:34Stop it!
01:08:37You will be mine.
01:08:43Forever.
01:08:46No!
01:08:56Zachary, I'm sorry, my beloved.
01:09:00Come to me.
01:09:02Our lives can be redeemed.
01:09:15Yes.
01:09:33Let go of me!
01:09:34Where's Ash?
01:09:35I said let go of me.
01:09:36Where's Sophia? Take me to her.
01:09:38I'll point you to his lair and to the secret tunnels.
01:09:42But first you must agree on three things.
01:09:44I could kill you right now for delivering her into his hands.
01:09:47That would be a foolish waste.
01:09:50What are your conditions?
01:09:52First, you must promise not to betray my confidence.
01:09:56You have my word.
01:09:58Second, you must take Sophia and leave this country, never to return.
01:10:04I will leave when Ash and all of his bloodline are destroyed.
01:10:10I will not stand between Ash and his fate.
01:10:19Sophia, you rest at the threshold of mortality.
01:10:26Tell me, your desire, life or death?
01:10:36Life.
01:10:39Will you take me as your master?
01:10:42Honor and obey me unto eternity?
01:10:49Yes.
01:10:51Yes.
01:11:08My blood will suffuse you with life.
01:11:13Yes.
01:11:20You are mine now, Sophia.
01:11:32Cry, Sophia.
01:11:35Let no sadness pass.
01:11:42Yes.
01:12:01May I have it?
01:12:13No.
01:12:24I had no blade to finish him with, so I did the next best thing.
01:12:43I was too late. She had tasted his blood.
01:12:47He was immersed in her, which gave me a moment's advantage.
01:12:52No.
01:13:11Let me go!
01:13:12Come with me!
01:13:23No.
01:13:44Master, you're bleeding!
01:13:47Go after them, Cassandra. Lead me to them.
01:13:51I'm too weak to fly.
01:13:53Yes, Master.
01:14:00Do not falter, Sophia. Keep moving.
01:14:03I can't. It hurts.
01:14:05It is the coming of the dawn. We must find shelter.
01:14:13Master, this way.
01:14:22Keep, keep, keep.
01:14:26Zachary!
01:14:27Deliver Sophia to me, and I promise you safe passage.
01:14:35I can't go on. I'm dying.
01:14:37You must keep moving.
01:14:45Sophia, come to me.
01:14:51Come.
01:15:21Make a pretty prize for my master.
01:15:24Sophia!
01:15:29Come to me.
01:15:34The dawn approaches.
01:15:38And soon it will be too late to seek sanctuary.
01:15:46Strike the first blow, Cassandra.
01:15:49Deliver me from the hands of fate.
01:16:37No!
01:17:07No!
01:17:24Zachary! Help me!
01:17:30We must find a resting place, quickly.
01:17:37Come on.
01:17:45Quickly, inside here.
01:17:55We'll lie here today. Tonight we'll find a safer sanctuary.
01:18:01Thank you, Zachary.
01:18:03Do not thank me, Sophia. I brought you no salvation.
01:18:09Why? What's going to happen to me?
01:18:14Only one thing is for certain.
01:18:17Never again will you feel the warmth of the sun.
01:18:21I had stolen her from Ash's lair. I could offer her protection.
01:18:26I had stolen her from Ash's lair. I could offer her protection.
01:18:31Teach her to survive. But I was not her true master.
01:18:35Her life, like mine, would be an endless nightmare.
01:19:26To be continued...
01:19:56To be continued...
01:20:26To be continued...
01:20:56To be continued...
01:21:26To be continued...
