Bloodstone: Subspecies II (1993) Movie Script
[music playing]
NARRATOR: It began as
a summer adventure.
We came to Transylvania
to study
the folklore of vampires.
We chanced upon an ancient
malevolent creature named
Radu, who coveted the
bloodstone, to which his
brother, Stefan, was
rightful heir.
I loved Stefan.
His heart was noble.
In vengeance, Radu slaughtered
my friends and mingled his
blood with mine.
Stefan destroyed him with a
stake through the heart,
infused me with his own
blood and lay me down
to be reborn a vampire.
[breathing]
[creaking]
Forgive me, Brother.
The bloodstone is mine.
[squish]
Ah.
[squish]
[growling]
[heavy breathing]
Live long to me now,
pretty one.
Ah.
Ah!

(CRYING) I don't want
to be like him, Becky.
Be like who?
He bit me.
What are--are
you talking about?
Listen to me, if there is a
problem why don't you just
call the police?
No, no, no, I need did you.
Please come.
OK, calm down.

Hmm, hmm, You.
You are forbidden here.
Mommy, have you no love in
your heart for your most
faithful son?
Curse you, Radu.
Leave my abode.
I bring you a sacred gift.
The blood of my father.
The king is but a memory.
And the bastard boy?
Dust.
The bloodstone,
give it to me.
The bloodstone was
stolen from me.
My Stefan's gone [inaudible].
Kill her.
Kill her.
And bring me the prize.
I'll bring you the
bloodstone.
But I cannot kill her.
You defy me?
I mingled my blood with hers.
I'll have her for
my plaything.
Come here, Radu.
Give me your hand.
Return to your father's
castle this night.
Burn the dead ones in a fire of
black thorn and cast their
ashes to the north wind.
Remain you there until
the moon is full.
For there will be horror.
Go at once!
But Mommy, the sun
draws light.
I will lie here and
leave at sunset.
No.
It is forbidden.
Go.
This instant.

Mm, not so much.

Um, Columbo, Streets of San

It's funny, that
Big Bird, yeah?
Uh, yeah.
Uh, you are looking for
Michelle Morgan, yes?
Oh my god, what's wrong?
Uh, Mel Thompson, US Embassy.
Has something happened
to Michelle?
Uh, please, don't
get excited.
Everything's going
to be just fine.
Please sit.
Uh, now, what is your
relationship to Ms. Morgan?
Um, um, she's my sister.
Your name please?
May I see passport?
Rebecca Morgan.
Here, who're you?
Uh, this is Lieutenant Marin
of the Bucharest Police.
And as I said it earlier, I'm
Mel Thompson, US Embassy Now,
this may sound a little
strange but yesterday
afternoon, your sister Michelle
was found unconscious
in her hotel room.
Then she walked away from scene
of the accident and
disappeared.
We think she may be suffering
from shock.
She appeared to be dead.
I examined her myself.
Obvious misdiagnosis
Lieutenant.
On behalf of the Department
of Police I apologize for
terrible mistake.
According to witnesses
at the accident, she
did not appear injured.
Now, we are confident she's
going to turn up.
Your sister's possessions.
One thing more.
Do you know, what is this?
Uh, it looks like some
kind of um, antique?
Looks expensive, huh?
You're not accusing her of
stealing it, are you?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No evidence is stolen.
But before leaving Romania
show us the receipt.
Of course.
I'm sure Michelle has
it somewhere.
Thank you.
For you.
Thank you.
Nothing.
We will uh, find her.
But if you see first,
call me, yeah?
Ha, let's go my friend.
[women singing]
[women singing]
Yes, please, has Rebecca Morgan
checked in there yet?

[voices whispering]
MAN WHISPERING:
You are nevermore.
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING FROM INSIDE CLUB)
(SINGING) From shallow
grave he will rise.
You ride the night shrouded
in your desecrated veil.
You bring the sleep upon
your lips so pale.
Baptised in flame your
soul won't be reborn.
Entrapped, the souls cry
beneath the gravestone.
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING) Do you believe
in heaven?
Do you believe in hell?
Do you believe in all
the things this
world will never tell?
It came to me in a dream,
nightmare of despair.
Shapes of memory haunt me now,
no faith you can ever repair.
[heavy metal music playing]
[crying softly]
Home.
Please, have some, Polenka.
I make it myself.
Uh, no thanks, Professor.
I'm on duty.
Thank you.
What is it?
Polenka, plum brandy.
A Romanian special too.
Noroc.
Mm, it's delicious.
Strongest alcohol
known to man.
Well, excuse me, Professor, but
about the American girls?
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes.
Madame Ovila and her
two friends.
They are in a monastery at
Prejmer doing research in the
neighboring villages.
What exactly did their
research involve?
Vampires, the legends
of Castle Vladislav.
Professor, could you tell
us what this is?
Hmm.
Hmm, interesting.
Once upon a time perhaps
I could have told you.
But now, sad to say, my memory
is going bye-bye.
Professor, is there
a telephone
there a--at the monastery?
Telephone? (LAUGHS)
Uh, then maybe you can show
it to us on the map?
Yes, yes, of course.
Let's see, Campoverde,
[inaudible]
highway here.
Monastary, here.
It's not easy to find.
But if you like, I'll come
along, show you the way and
have a Polenka with my
old friend Carl.
[music playing]
Uh, professor?
Huh?
Wake up, we're here.
Oh, oh, oh yes, yes, yes.
Carl!
Carl [inaudible], come and say
hello to your old friend
Nicolei Popescu.
Hello?
Is anybody here?
Michelle?
Mara?
Lilian?
[car horn beeps]
[ringing bell]
Hello!
Michelle?
Castle Vladislav, home of the
legendary king of vampires.
Wow, does anybody
live in there?
Not for many, many years.
The descendents lie
in tombs there.
And it belongs to the
Vladislav family.
But they left Romania a
long, long time ago.
Huh, let's go and see the older
part of the castle.
The descendants of Vladislavs
lie buried here in
unconsecrated ground.
Professor, what exactly is the
legend of Castle Vladislav?
An obscure old story about King
Vladislav, the vampire,
who made piece with the
people of the region.
I remember he had two sons.
But sad to say, I forgot
the details.
But don't worry.
I have it in a book somewhere.
What in the world?
That's a fresh grave.
No, professor, wait for us.
Oh, watch out.
Yes, please, be careful.
Wait, Professor, where
are we going?
This is my own secret
way into castle.
Want to come have
a look around?
I really don't think we
should go in there.
Why not?
It's unoccupied.
I am director of historical
museum.
I'm sure, Ms. Morg--
I would love to see
it, professor.
Good.
Nicolai Popescu comes
prepared, huh?
Come.
[ominous music playing]
This is a secret passageway
to main path of castle.
I discovered it years ago when
I was with the university.
Oh, man.
Now we are below the castle.
I think it's getting kind
of late professor.
Maybe we ought to head back.
Soon, my friend, soon.
The throne room is somewhere
on this level.
Someone's here.
You know, it's getting
dark you guys.
I think we should leave.
[Radu emanating sound]
[Radu emanating sound]
Michelle?
Lillian?
BECKY: Lillian?
Mara?
Anybody hear me?
[radu emanating sound]
Oh, you dared to enter
my father's house?
I've been told that this
place is deserted.
Please forgive us.
I am Nicolai Popescu, director
of historical museum.
Trespassers are
forbidden here.
Leave my house at once.
Yes, sir, we're very sorry.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Jesus, who was that guy?
A Vladislav, I suppose, come
to reclaim his heritage.
BECKY: Well,
I want the police to
look into him too.
MEL: Definitely.
[Radu emanating sound]
Well, I had a marvelous day.
Call me in the morning
and we will
find the Book of Vladislav.
Noapte buna.
Noapte buna.
(SINGING TO HIMSELF)
[Radu emanating sound]
[voices whispering]
[woman singing]
BECKY: Thanks
for everything, Mel.
Well, hey, aside from the
fact that we committed a
felony that could get me
permanently banned from the
[inaudible] service it
was my pleasure.
Get some rest, OK?
I'll call you first thing
in the morning.
Michelle?
Michelle!
[tires squeal]
[Radu emanating sound]
Michelle!
Wait!
Michelle, stop!
Michelle!
You're scaring me.
Stay there, Becky,
don't look at me.
Michelle, please, tell me
what's going on so I can help
you.
I shouldn't have called you.
You can't help me.
I can.
But you have to tell me
what's happening.
I can't.
Then tell me what this is.
[Radu emanating sound]
Give it to me, Becky.
I need it.
What's wrong with
you, Michelle?
You look sick.
I have to go now.
Tell Mom I'm sorry.
You're cold.
[Radu emanating sound]
Radu!
No!
[Radu emanating sound]
Michelle!
[dark choral music playing]
Pitiful little goddess of the
temple, the bloodstone is not
for creatures such as you.
No, please.
Please leave me alone.
You are my fledgling.
Embrace me as your master
and all that is
mine will be yours.
You killed my friends.
Spurn me and I will torment
you to eternity.
Soon enough you will beg
me for deliverance.
Patience, pretty one.
We have all the time
in the world.
[Mummy whispering]
I bear you an offering, Mummy,
the most holy of holiest.
What troubles you, child?
My hunger.
For love.
Love is for mortals,
not for such as we.
I loved my brother Stefan.
And always I had not
taken his life.
Tormenting him was such
a sweet pleasure.
Stefan yearned for peace.
You were his deliverer.
Now there's only
my fledgling.
And she resist my mastery.
Curse Stefan for polluting
her with his goodness.
Destroy her before
she destroys you.
My desire for her
is more sublime.
I yearn to see her.
Stefan, to eternity.
I turned in the papers for
two men to investigate
[inaudible].
If big boss approves we will
have answers by next week.
I saw Michelle last night.
You did?
Where?
Outside the hotel.
She tried to run away.
But I caught up with her.
She begged me for the stone.
And then she ran off again.
Terrified, like someone
was after her.
More and more this sounds me
like a case of stolen goods.
Oh, where'd you learn that?
Columbo?
No.
Perry Mason.
Popescu's secret library.
All the precious books I saved
from the bonfires of books.
The book of Vladislav is here
somewhere, somewhere.
Let's get to work.
Aha, just as I thought.
The legend of King Vladislav
the vampire.
Here is the story of King
Vlad and the bloodstone.
The bloodstone?
The bloodstone?
A mythical relic said to drip
blood of the saints.
A stupid story, Dracula.
Bella Lugosi was Hungarian.
Like Zsa Zsa Gabor.
What are you talking about?
Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Here's in an etching.
It looks similar to your
sister's antique.
It looks exactly like it.
Look.
Please.
Could be stolen, yes?
Perhaps.
You mean like a--a reproduction
or something?
Or the real thing.
Excuse me, but mythical
objects, by
definition, are not real.
This story tells of the rivalry
between King Vlad's
sons, Stefan and Radu.
Radu?
She called that name last night,
as if he were standing
there watching us.
Hey, come on you guys, we're
talking fairy tales here.
Mel, I saw her.
Whatever is going on here
is not a fairy tale.
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING) I see through
this message.
I'm deep within my heart.
Now it beats no longer cause
you ripped it all apart.
I am no mortal.
I am not a man.
Now I'm just a memory you
cannot understand.
BECKY: Goodnight,
thank you.
[Radu emanating sound]
Thanks, Mel.
For what?
For being here.
[Radu emanating sound]
[Radu emanating sound]
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING) Understand, you
kill me, I kill you.
Guess who gets the prize?
I'm dancing in the light
of your sweet demise.
Won't you come and join me?
Won't you come with me?
Now let's make you suffer
for eternity.
[screams]
[roar]
[man screaming]
[slurping, blood dripping]
No.
[crying]
[gagging]
[sobs]
[Radu emanating sound]
[phone rings]
[phone rings]
Yes?
Becky, help me.
Michelle, what's wrong?
Where are you?
Please help me.
Tell me where and I'll
come get you.
The park, behind
the atheneum.
I'm on my way.
[speaking romanian]
Excuse me?
[speaking romanian]
Michelle?
Stay there, Becky.
Let me help you.
It's too late.
Nothing can help me now.
I killed him.
I drank his blood.
Uh--
Oh, god.
[gasping]
What is it?
The dawn.
Help me please.
I don't want to die.
I love you, Michelle.
You're not going to die.
[gasps]
[Radu emanating sound]
Radu!
No!
Please!
No!
Who are you?
What do you want?
Run, Becky, get away.
Leave with my sister alone!
[Radu emanating sound]
Embrace me fledgling.
Accept your destiny.
You will remember this
as a day of joy.
-Michelle, don't.
[radu emanating sound]
MICHELLE: Go home!
The castle is too far
to race the sunrise.
We will rest here the day
and--and travel by night.
Fear not pretty one, soon your
mortal feelings will cease to
cause you pain.
If what you say is true, the
vampire Radu is here in
Bucharest and your sister
is his disciple.
Hey, come on, you guys.
You're getting a little
carried away.
Look, what we should do is call
Lieutenant Marin and get
him over here.
And we'll tell him
the whole story.
Oh yeah, he'd really
believe us.
I'm not even sure I do.
My point exactly.
Look, there's got to be a
rational explanation here.
I mean, this is reality.
Vampires don't exist.
There was blood all over her.
She said she killed someone
and drank his blood.
I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
The man who took her,
he looked like
some kind of ghoul.
It was the same man we
saw at the castle.
I read last night, the
legends of Vladislav.
There is the story about the
sorcerer, [inaudible], consort
to King Vlad and mother to Radu,
who was entombed alive
in a forest near Bucharest.
If indeed Radu is stalking
Bucharest, this may be the
place that he will sleep.
Will you show us where
it is professor?
Of course.
I will accompany you.
The tools of the fearless
vampire hunter.
We should need them
for our adventure.
Are you coming, my friend?
Vampire hunting?
Afraid not, professor.
Look, Rebecca, I like you.
And I know this has been a
terrible strain on you.
And I want to help you
any way I can.
But I'm also here representing
the US State Department.
And what you two are proposing
to do, it's just plain nuts.
The bloodstone, the legend, the
empty grave, what does it
take to convince you?
Call me when you come
to your senses.
You think this is crazy, professor?
Well, yes, a little.
Because you don't believe me?
No, because I do believe you.
Here lies a prison
of the damned.
No man shall enter the gate, nor
commune with inhabitants
of this unholy place.
Maybe Mel was right.
Maybe we should just
call the police.
There is nothing to fear
in the daylight.
Oh my god.
Heaven help us.
It's true.
What do we do?
[groaning]
[Mummy vocalizing]
[Becky crying]
[Mummy screaming]
BECKY:
(SCREAMING) No!
Please no!
[screams]
[Mummy cackling]
[MUMMY CACKLING, BECKY
CRYING, SCREAMING]
No!
Please!
Stop!
No.
Michelle.
Ah, the sleeper has arisen.
Such a sweet reunion.
Let her go.
Silence!
Fledgling, attend your master.
[cackling]
No.
Let her go.
Abandon your mortality
fledgling.
It's just solves of
all your pain.
[Becky screaming]
Blood is our sustenance.
But fear and suffering are the
true pleasures for such as we.
There's vessel here which
feeds the leg.
Blood springs from it
like a fountain.
[Becky crying]
Drink with me fledgling,
savor the taste of your
sister's suffering.
[screams]
[groans]
[Mummy wailing]
You're going to make an
exceptional plaything.
Give me the dagger fledgling.
It's a magical object.
You must never, ever touch it.
Give it to me.
Or I will desecrate
her in ways that
will haunt you forever.
[Radu emanating sound]
[Radu groaning]
[sobbing]
Hurry!
Hurry please.
Die you bastard.
Come on Michelle.
I can't.
The sun.
I'll wait for you till dark.

call me, yeah?
Ha, let's go my friend.
[women singing]
[women singing]
Yes, please, has Rebecca Morgan
checked in there yet?
[phone rings]
[phone ringing on other end]
Uh, hello?
[dial tone]
[eerie music playing]
[voices whispering]
MAN WHISPERING:
You are nevermore.
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING FROM INSIDE CLUB)
(SINGING) From shallow
grave he will rise.
You ride the night shrouded
in your desecrated veil.
You bring the sleep upon
your lips so pale.
Baptised in flame your
soul won't be reborn.
Entrapped, the souls cry
beneath the gravestone.
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING) Do you believe
in heaven?
Do you believe in hell?
Do you believe in all
the things this
world will never tell?
It came to me in a dream,
nightmare of despair.
Shapes of memory haunt me now,
no faith you can ever repair.
[heavy metal music playing]
[crying softly]
Home.
Please, have some, Polenka.
I make it myself.
Uh, no thanks, Professor.
I'm on duty.
Thank you.
What is it?
Polenka, plum brandy.
A Romanian special too.
Noroc.
Mm, it's delicious.
Strongest alcohol
known to man.
Well, excuse me, Professor, but
about the American girls?
Oh yes, yes, yes, yes.
Madame Ovila and her
two friends.
They are in a monastery at
Prejmer doing research in the
neighboring villages.
What exactly did their
research involve?
Vampires, the legends
of Castle Vladislav.
Professor, could you tell
us what this is?
Hmm.
Hmm, interesting.
Once upon a time perhaps
I could have told you.
But now, sad to say, my memory
is going bye-bye.
Professor, is there
a telephone
there a--at the monastery?
Telephone? (LAUGHS)
Uh, then maybe you can show
it to us on the map?
Yes, yes, of course.
Let's see, Campoverde,
[inaudible]
highway here.
Monastary, here.
It's not easy to find.
But if you like, I'll come
along, show you the way and
have a Polenka with my
old friend Carl.
[music playing]
Uh, professor?
Huh?
Wake up, we're here.
Oh, oh, oh yes, yes, yes.
Carl!
Carl [inaudible], come and say
hello to your old friend
Nicolei Popescu.
Hello?
Is anybody here?
Michelle?
Mara?
Lilian?
[car horn beeps]
[ringing bell]
Hello!
Michelle?
Castle Vladislav, home of the
legendary king of vampires.
Wow, does anybody
live in there?
Not for many, many years.
The descendents lie
in tombs there.
And it belongs to the
Vladislav family.
But they left Romania a
long, long time ago.
Huh, let's go and see the older
part of the castle.
The descendants of Vladislavs
lie buried here in
unconsecrated ground.
Professor, what exactly is the
legend of Castle Vladislav?
An obscure old story about King
Vladislav, the vampire,
who made piece with the
people of the region.
I remember he had two sons.
But sad to say, I forgot
the details.
But don't worry.
I have it in a book somewhere.
What in the world?
That's a fresh grave.
No, professor, wait for us.
Oh, watch out.
Yes, please, be careful.
Wait, Professor, where
are we going?
This is my own secret
way into castle.
Want to come have
a look around?
I really don't think we
should go in there.
Why not?
It's unoccupied.
I am director of historical
museum.
I'm sure, Ms. Morg--
I would love to see
it, professor.
Good.
Nicolai Popescu comes
prepared, huh?
Come.
[ominous music playing]
This is a secret passageway
to main path of castle.
I discovered it years ago when
I was with the university.
Oh, man.
Now we are below the castle.
I think it's getting kind
of late professor.
Maybe we ought to head back.
Soon, my friend, soon.
The throne room is somewhere
on this level.
Someone's here.
You know, it's getting
dark you guys.
I think we should leave.
[Radu emanating sound]
[Radu emanating sound]
Michelle?
Lillian?
BECKY: Lillian?
Mara?
Anybody hear me?
[radu emanating sound]
Oh, you dared to enter
my father's house?
I've been told that this
place is deserted.
Please forgive us.
I am Nicolai Popescu, director
of historical museum.
Trespassers are
forbidden here.
Leave my house at once.
Yes, sir, we're very sorry.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Jesus, who was that guy?
A Vladislav, I suppose, come
to reclaim his heritage.
BECKY: Well,
I want the police to
look into him too.
MEL: Definitely.
[Radu emanating sound]
Well, I had a marvelous day.
Call me in the morning
and we will
find the Book of Vladislav.
Noapte buna.
Noapte buna.
(SINGING TO HIMSELF)
[Radu emanating sound]
[voices whispering]
[woman singing]
BECKY: Thanks
for everything, Mel.
Well, hey, aside from the
fact that we committed a
felony that could get me
permanently banned from the
[inaudible] service it
was my pleasure.
Get some rest, OK?
I'll call you first thing
in the morning.
Michelle?
Michelle!
[tires squeal]
[Radu emanating sound]
Michelle!
Wait!
Michelle, stop!
Michelle!
You're scaring me.
Stay there, Becky,
don't look at me.
Michelle, please, tell me
what's going on so I can help
you.
I shouldn't have called you.
You can't help me.
I can.
But you have to tell me
what's happening.
I can't.
Then tell me what this is.
[Radu emanating sound]
Give it to me, Becky.
I need it.
What's wrong with
you, Michelle?
You look sick.
I have to go now.
Tell Mom I'm sorry.
You're cold.
[Radu emanating sound]
Radu!
No!
[Radu emanating sound]
Michelle!
[dark choral music playing]
Pitiful little goddess of the
temple, the bloodstone is not
for creatures such as you.
No, please.
Please leave me alone.
You are my fledgling.
Embrace me as your master
and all that is
mine will be yours.
You killed my friends.
Spurn me and I will torment
you to eternity.
Soon enough you will beg
me for deliverance.
Patience, pretty one.
We have all the time
in the world.
[Mummy whispering]
I bear you an offering, Mummy,
the most holy of holiest.
What troubles you, child?
My hunger.
For love.
Love is for mortals,
not for such as we.
I loved my brother Stefan.
And always I had not
taken his life.
Tormenting him was such
a sweet pleasure.
Stefan yearned for peace.
You were his deliverer.
Now there's only
my fledgling.
And she resist my mastery.
Curse Stefan for polluting
her with his goodness.
Destroy her before
she destroys you.
My desire for her
is more sublime.
I yearn to see her.
Stefan, to eternity.
I turned in the papers for
two men to investigate
[inaudible].
If big boss approves we will
have answers by next week.
I saw Michelle last night.
You did?
Where?
Outside the hotel.
She tried to run away.
But I caught up with her.
She begged me for the stone.
And then she ran off again.
Terrified, like someone
was after her.
More and more this sounds me
like a case of stolen goods.
Oh, where'd you learn that?
Columbo?
No.
Perry Mason.
Popescu's secret library.
All the precious books I saved
from the bonfires of books.
The book of Vladislav is here
somewhere, somewhere.
Let's get to work.
Aha, just as I thought.
The legend of King Vladislav
the vampire.
Here is the story of King
Vlad and the bloodstone.
The bloodstone?
The bloodstone?
A mythical relic said to drip
blood of the saints.
A stupid story, Dracula.
Bella Lugosi was Hungarian.
Like Zsa Zsa Gabor.
What are you talking about?
Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Here's in an etching.
It looks similar to your
sister's antique.
It looks exactly like it.
Look.
Please.
Could be stolen, yes?
Perhaps.
You mean like a--a reproduction
or something?
Or the real thing.
Excuse me, but mythical
objects, by
definition, are not real.
This story tells of the rivalry
between King Vlad's
sons, Stefan and Radu.
Radu?
She called that name last night,
as if he were standing
there watching us.
Hey, come on you guys, we're
talking fairy tales here.
Mel, I saw her.
Whatever is going on here
is not a fairy tale.
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING) I see through
this message.
I'm deep within my heart.
Now it beats no longer cause
you ripped it all apart.
I am no mortal.
I am not a man.
Now I'm just a memory you
cannot understand.
BECKY: Goodnight,
thank you.
[Radu emanating sound]
Thanks, Mel.
For what?
For being here.
[Radu emanating sound]
[Radu emanating sound]
[heavy metal music playing]
(SINGING) Understand, you
kill me, I kill you.
Guess who gets the prize?
I'm dancing in the light
of your sweet demise.
Won't you come and join me?
Won't you come with me?
Now let's make you suffer
for eternity.
[screams]
[roar]
[man screaming]
[slurping, blood dripping]
No.
[crying]
[gagging]
[sobs]
[Radu emanating sound]
[phone rings]
[phone rings]
Yes?
Becky, help me.
Michelle, what's wrong?
Where are you?
Please help me.
Tell me where and I'll
come get you.
The park, behind
the atheneum.
I'm on my way.
[speaking romanian]
Excuse me?
[speaking romanian]
Michelle?
Stay there, Becky.
Let me help you.
It's too late.
Nothing can help me now.
I killed him.
I drank his blood.
Uh--
Oh, god.
[gasping]
What is it?
The dawn.
Help me please.
I don't want to die.
I love you, Michelle.
You're not going to die.
[gasps]
[Radu emanating sound]
Radu!
No!
Please!
No!
Who are you?
What do you want?
Run, Becky, get away.
Leave with my sister alone!
[Radu emanating sound]
Embrace me fledgling.
Accept your destiny.
You will remember this
as a day of joy.
-Michelle, don't.
[radu emanating sound]
MICHELLE: Go home!
The castle is too far
to race the sunrise.
We will rest here the day
and--and travel by night.
Fear not pretty one, soon your
mortal feelings will cease to
cause you pain.
If what you say is true, the
vampire Radu is here in
Bucharest and your sister
is his disciple.
Hey, come on, you guys.
You're getting a little
carried away.
Look, what we should do is call
Lieutenant Marin and get
him over here.
And we'll tell him
the whole story.
Oh yeah, he'd really
believe us.
I'm not even sure I do.
My point exactly.
Look, there's got to be a
rational explanation here.
I mean, this is reality.
Vampires don't exist.
There was blood all over her.
She said she killed someone
and drank his blood.
I'm sorry, I don't buy it.
The man who took her,
he looked like
some kind of ghoul.
It was the same man we
saw at the castle.
I read last night, the
legends of Vladislav.
There is the story about the
sorcerer, [inaudible], consort
to King Vlad and mother to Radu,
who was entombed alive
in a forest near Bucharest.
If indeed Radu is stalking
Bucharest, this may be the
place that he will sleep.
Will you show us where
it is professor?
Of course.
I will accompany you.
The tools of the fearless
vampire hunter.
We should need them
for our adventure.
Are you coming, my friend?
Vampire hunting?
Afraid not, professor.
Look, Rebecca, I like you.
And I know this has been a
terrible strain on you.
And I want to help you
any way I can.
But I'm also here representing
the US State Department.
And what you two are proposing
to do, it's just plain nuts.
The bloodstone, the legend, the
empty grave, what does it
take to convince you?
Call me when you come
to your senses.
You think this is crazy, professor?
Well, yes, a little.
Because you don't believe me?
No, because I do believe you.
Here lies a prison
of the damned.
No man shall enter the gate, nor
commune with inhabitants
of this unholy place.
Maybe Mel was right.
Maybe we should just
call the police.
There is nothing to fear
in the daylight.
Oh my god.
Heaven help us.
It's true.
What do we do?
[groaning]
[Mummy vocalizing]
[Becky crying]
[Mummy screaming]
BECKY:
(SCREAMING) No!
Please no!
[screams]
[Mummy cackling]
[MUMMY CACKLING, BECKY
CRYING, SCREAMING]
No!
Please!
Stop!
No.
Michelle.
Ah, the sleeper has arisen.
Such a sweet reunion.
Let her go.
Silence!
Fledgling, attend your master.
[cackling]
No.
Let her go.
Abandon your mortality
fledgling.
It's just solves of
all your pain.
[Becky screaming]
Blood is our sustenance.
But fear and suffering are the
true pleasures for such as we.
There's vessel here which
feeds the leg.
Blood springs from it
like a fountain.
[Becky crying]
Drink with me fledgling,
savor the taste of your
sister's suffering.
[screams]
[groans]
[Mummy wailing]
You're going to make an
exceptional plaything.
Give me the dagger fledgling.
It's a magical object.
You must never, ever touch it.
Give it to me.
Or I will desecrate
her in ways that
will haunt you forever.
[Radu emanating sound]
[Radu groaning]
[sobbing]
Hurry!
Hurry please.
Die you bastard.
Come on Michelle.
I can't.
The sun.
I'll wait for you till dark.
[Mummy emanating sound]
[SCREAMING, STRUGGLING,
FIGHTING]
