[LOU REED'S
"WALK ON THE WILD SIDE" PLAYING]
Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitchhiked her way
Across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows
On the way
Shaved her legs
And then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe
Take a walk on the wild side"
Said, "Hey, honey
Take a walk on the wild side"
Someone enjoyed themselves here.
Candy came
From out on the Island
In the back room, she--

Good of command to tell us
the town had been reclaimed.
Now we'll have to do
the gravediggers' job.
[]
What the fuck happened
to these bodies?
Where is the blood?
Looks like nobody was spared.
Military...
civilians.
Did they kill each other?
Don't talk shit.
Someone always survives
a fight.
Looks like the work of wolves.
[SOFTLY]
It was...
Easy.
...the devil.
[LOUDER]
It was the devil.
What happened here, old man?
They opened fire...
my people in the church...
Easy.
...screams:
Easy.
"Blood, blood, blood."
Who was it?
Did you see them?
Dampyr.
You must call Dampyr.
You must call Dampyr.
Dampyr?
You must call--
[GUNSHOT]
Shut the fuck up.
Damn it, Stefan!
What the fuck
is the matter with you?
[CHUCKLING]
He was just some crazy old fool.
Call the others.
Get all the bodies
gathered in one place.
We need to bury the dead.
Move!
[]
Let's go.
LAZAR:
Don't miss anyone!
Move them over there.
[]
DRAKA:
Harlan.
Come here to me.
[SCREAMS]
[SCREAMS ECHOING]
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
Another one of your nightmares?
[SIGHS] Yeah.
They're getting worse, Yuri.
[]
Maybe if you quit
drinking that crap.
You're too young
to be my father.
But not too young
to be your manager, Harlan.
I want you in good shape.
We have a lot of work to do.
I'm in perfect shape.
Can't you see?
Stop calling it "work."
It is work.
Puts food on the table.
Where are you taking me?
Jostanira.
Their cemetery is infested.
Weren't we there last week?
That was Jostalica.
Come on, man.
Try to concentrate, please.
[CHUCKLES]
Easy.
I'm a professional.
[CHILDREN GIGGLING]
BOY: The Dampyr.
YURI:
Come closer. Please.
Come closer.
The Dampyr is coming.
CHILD:
The Dampyr.
YURI:
Citizens of Jostanira.
I know you're all worried.
Evil has reached
your peaceful village.
And believe me when I tell you,
you are right to be afraid.
The devil's stench
is everywhere,
infesting this place.
You are damned.
You heard me, you are damned
and you already know it.
But from now on,
you will fear no evil.
Because today...
finally, here in your midst
stands the powerful...
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
...Harlan...
the Dampyr.
[CROWD GASPS, MURMURING]
CHILD:
The Dampyr.
Take me to the cemetery.
Get back.
Give him room to work.
[CRIES OUT]
Get back.
The Dampyr feels
the presence of a vampire.
Get back.
[ALL WHISPERING PRAYERS]
Out, damned soul.
Return to the hell
that spawned you.
You don't belong
in this holy place.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[SPEAKING SOFTLY
IN MIXED-UP LATIN]
Margherita pizza...
[SOFTLY] What is he saying?
Esoteric formulas
to seal the cemetery
and make it impossible
for evil to return.
[SOFTLY]
God, I could use a fucking drink
right now, Yuri.
[RESUMES SPEAKING IN LATIN]
Millennial knowledge.
Ahh...
[SHUSHES]
[CROWD GASPS]
Return to your homes in peace.
The monster that infected
your cemetery has been defeated.
[ALL CHEERING]
[PLAYING FOLK TUNE]
YURI:
Thank you. Thank you. Thanks.
I'll take that. Okay. Thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Yuri!
[TOWNSPEOPLE SINGING]
Commander Kurjak to command.
[STATIC OVER RADIO]
Commander Kurjak to command.
Commander Kurjak.
Commander Kur--
Fuck it.
Now what?
We stay here...
and maintain our position.
[]
[STATIC]
[DIALING]
I don't get Kurjak.
What is the point
of staying in this town, huh?
This ghost town
will help us win the war?
[CHUCKLES]
Since when did you become
a strategist, Petar?
Hey. Isn't that
what I'm here for?
You're here because
you have smokes. Give me one.
Maybe it will stop me
freezing my nuts off.
WOMAN [IN DISTANCE]:
Help!
I gotta be dreaming.
Oh, you're not dreaming.
Help!
Help me, I'm scared.
Sure, baby. I'll help you.
Come to Daddy.
W-wait, Petar.
You don't know
who the fuck she might be.
All right. It looks like
she's dying to know me.
Petar.
Help.
[]
Petar.
Petar.
Petar!
[PETAR SCREAMS]
[BURST OF GUNFIRE]
Move!
JANKO: Commander!
[GUNFIRE]
Who's shooting?
Came from down there where those
idiots, Petar and Janko, are.
[GUNFIRE]
[JANKO SCREAMS]
We're under attack!
Move. Three with me!
Move!
[TAKING SHUDDERING BREATHS]
[CREATURE GROWLING]
Who's there?
[GROWLS]
[SCREAMING]
Tito! Tito!
[GROWLING]
[SCREAMING]
[SOLDIERS SCREAMING]
[GUNFIRE, SCREAMING IN DISTANCE]
Move.
Commander. We are under attack!
Commander!
Who attacked us?
[CREATURE LAUGHING]
Hey!
Hold your positions!
Hold!
SOLDIER:
What's going on?
What's going on?
[]
Son of a bitch.
SOLDIER:
Commander!
Commander, we need help!
Come on!
Cover!
Get him down. Move.
Who did you see, Josif?
[WHISPERING WEAKLY]
I shot him, but he didn't die.
He didn't die.
Josif. Josif!
Don't do that.
We have to call him.
STEFAN:
Come on, asshole.
The old man was right!
Lazar.
Our enemies...
hellish creatures!
Undead!
What is wrong with you?
Our bullets are useless
against them.
We have to find the one
who knows how to beat them.
Who the fuck
are you talking about?
Huh?
I know him.
Let me go look for the one...
who can help us.
[CROWD MURMURING]
HARLAN:
I hate it when I have to do
the whole show.
YURI:
We're doing nothing wrong.
You call this
"doing nothing wrong"?
The girl is already dead.
She won't feel a thing.
And her parents
can go to sleep tonight,
knowing she won't wake up
as a vampire.
That, in my opinion,
is what is called "doing good."
And it's all thanks
to the great Dampyr.
Just give me the goddamn stake.
MAN 1:
Save us.
MAN 2: You're our savior.
MAN 3: Dampyr.
MAN 4:
Dampyr.
[]
YURI: Get back.
Do you have to cut off her head?
She's my youngest daughter,
Emina.
Save her soul, Dampyr.
Hey, let the Dampyr work, okay?
Please!
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Forgive me, Emina.
[CROW CAWING]
[STAKE PIERCES FLESH]
[CROWD GASPS]
MAN:
Oh, my God.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Thanks. Thanks, but--
[CROWD MURMURING]
Thanks, but please keep quiet.
Shh, shh.
We are purifying the cemetery
of its evil spirits,
of which there are so many
at this time of death.
Thank you, thanks.
Show is over, kid.
You have to come with us.
[RIFLES RACKING]
We're arresting this fraud
on orders
from our commander.
He won't be able
to fleece you suckers anymore.
Stay back! Stay back!
[ALL GASPING]
Stay back!
If you arrest him,
you have to arrest me too.
Beat it, kid! Down, boy.
I'm not going anywhere
without my manager!
I didn't recognize you.
Otherwise,
I would have hit you harder.
You haven't changed a bit
since the day we met.
The advantages
of living a healthy life.
You, on the other hand,
look like shit.
The war does not agree with you.
You can't arrest us
for giving people hope.
"Hope." Too bad
for those stupid fucks.
And we're not arresting you.
Our commander
wants to talk to you.
Talk to us?
What? Two useless,
meaningless bums?
Yeah, you're right, kid.
The truth is, it's Harlan
he wants to talk to.
What the fuck
am I gonna tell him?
What's really going on here,
Lazar?
[]
[THUNDER RUMBLES IN DISTANCE]
Move.
Let's go.
Open up!
Hey, I'm his manager.
Butt out, kid.
Here he is, commander.
Well?
"Well," what? You're the ones
that brought me here.
I was better off
not seeing your ugly faces.
Show Commander Kurjak
some respect.
[SARCASTIC]
Yes, sir, colonel.
Private Harlan
reporting for duty.
No?
If we've finished
with the introductions,
can someone tell me
what I'm doing here?
I got nothing to do
with this war.
Sit.
Please.
This war involves us all.
You too, Dampyr.
Something attacked us
last night.
Killed my men.
Something not of this world.
I want to know what.
And they tell me that you know.
Hmm.
What exactly are you?
Me?
I'm a Dampyr.
A vampire hunter.
Me and my partner, we go around
making sure anyone bitten
by those hellish creatures
doesn't come back to life.
Then you know how to kill them.
Yeah.
But you really wanna know
what I am?
I'm full of shit.
Vampires don't exist,
you fucking fool.
[LAUGHING SOFTLY]
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHING]
Get him up.
I'm his manager.
I have to be with him.
He has the right
to have someone defend him.
[HARLAN GRUNTS]
Harlan!
Harlan. You wanna tell me
what you did to my partner?
Here he is, all in one piece.
For now.
KURJAK:
Take a good fucking look.
I don't know
who or what did this,
but the same could happen
to you tonight.
Are you fucking crazy?
The Dampyr is bullshit!
YURI:
Hey, leave him!
He's only saying that
just to save his own skin.
But we come from the same town
and we all know
what he really is.
The son of the devil.
The proof is in the fact
that he hasn't aged a bit
since I first met him.
KURJAK:
Let's see which of you
is telling the truth.
Lazar, give him your gun.
Move!
It's fully loaded.
Don't waste it.
Load up!
You're gonna get him killed.
STEFAN: Hey, we gave him a gun.
Your friend is the goat
to attract the wolf.
If he's what they say,
he's the wolf, not the goat.
[RIFLE RACKS]
Let's see how this plays out.
[IMITATES GUNSHOT]
What a shitty night.
[BELL JINGLES]
[WIND WHISTLING]
[]
TESLA:
Help.
Hey.
Hey, it's okay.
Please don't hurt me.
What you doing in here?
I'm just trying to stay alive.
It's okay.
Please.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
[GROWLS]
The smell of your blood.
What are you?
What--? What am I?
What the fuck are you?
[VAMPIRES GROWL]
[ALL LAUGHING]
On your feet, handsome.
Time for dinner.
[ROARS]
Harlan?
We need to see
what's happened to him.
No one leaves.
[ALL LAUGHING]
[TRIGGER CLICKS]
What have you got
against my T-shirt?
Now I'm gonna ruin yours.
No, Bojan, no!
[ROARS]
[GROANING]
[SCREECHING]
He isn't human.
MILOS:
How the fuck did you do that?
Move!
Fire!
[GROWLS]
[GASPING]
[]
[GROWLING]
BOJAN:
Kill him. Kill him! Kill him!
[MILOS SCREAMING]
[FAINT SCREAMING]
[SCREECHING]
[ECHOES]
The Dampyr.
[PANTING]
[SCREAMING]
[FLESH SIZZLING]
[MAN PANTING]
[PANTING]
Come back here, my children,
you cannot defeat him.
Not you.
You stay.
Stay with him and be my eyes.
[WIND WHISTLING]
He's still alive!
[]
YURI:
I thought I was gonna lose you.
Oh, my God, are you okay?
Yeah.
Kurjak, let's get the hell out
of this damn place.
SOLDIER 1:
If we stay here, we all die.
SOLDIER 2:
Yeah, they'll kill us all.
[SPITS]
What the fuck did you do to him?
Hmm?
It was the sun.
There's a girl inside
you should see.
Fuck!
Get inside.
You scared?
Are you fucking scared?
Lazar!
Move! Inside!
Move!
Move!
[]
We have a prisoner.
[TESLA BREATHING HEAVILY,
THEN ROARS]
Step back!
No one leaves.
Nothing personal, Kurjak,
but they didn't say anything
about fighting vampires
when I signed up.
You want to face
a court martial, Stefan?
You brought us
to this shithole of a village
to feed us to these monsters.
A bunch of our buddies
are dead already!
Maybe you're the one
who should face a court martial.
And you...
if you really are
a vampire killer,
then waste that thing.
Let's drag its ass
out into the sun
and burn it like the other one!
Let's kill that mons--
What the hell are you doing,
asshole?
Makes no sense killing her.
He's right.
That's the only thing
that can tell us
what the fuck we are up against.
Let's leave Kurjak here
with that thing.
Right. They can kill each other.
Fuck, yeah.
Let's get the hell out of here!
SOLDIER:
Let's go!
It's crazy to stay here, Emil.
Come with us.
Let's cross the--
I'm no deserter.
These things
could kill us all...
and you want to walk away?
Pretend they don't exist?
Hey.
What the hell are we doing here
with this crazy soldier
and that monster over there?
Yuri, look, you, uh...
You can't stay here, okay?
What?
There are some strange things
happening to me
and I need to, uh...
I need to stay here
and figure them out.
No, I...
They'll be back. It's...
It's dangerous. It's not safe.
I'm not leaving you here.
You gotta go.
No.
No.
Harlan.
Take the boy with you.
Me and Harlan are a team.
Tell them, Harlan.
Harlan?
Hey, you said we'd always
stick together, you promised.
Let's go, kid.
You promised me, Harlan.
Let's go.
I thought we were family,
Harlan.
Please, Harlan.
Please.
Don't do this to me, Harlan.
Let me stay with you,
Harlan, please.
Come away with us.
Please, Harlan.
Harlan, please.
Let go of me!
Look at it this way, Kurjak.
Staying here could be
the best way
to get yourself killed...
and see your son again.
Run as far as you can, Stefan.
Because as soon as command finds
out you're fucking chicken,
they will come for you.
Then we'll make sure
you can't tell anyone...
commander.
Door!
Lock them with the monster.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
[HAMMERS POUNDING]
[]
Let's go.
KURJAK:
Fuck!
HARLAN: How's that working out?
Shut up.
Why?
You've got no fucking plan.
How about we start getting
some answers from that bitch?
Move.
No.
Move.
It's Tesla.
Not "bitch."
[RIFLE RACKS]
You defended me before, soldier.
And you...
Dampyr, you could
have killed me,
but I'm still alive.
I owe you.
KURJAK:
Remember whose side you're on.
You saw the hate in her eyes,
right?
I don't hate you.
I hate Gorka.
Who's Gorka?
My master, Lord of the Night.
It's because of him
I am what I am.
Lord of the what?
For a Dampyr,
you don't know much, do you?
Unlike us ordinary vampires,
Lords of the Night
don't fear the sunlight.
Only Lords of the Night
have power
to give life
to other vampires...
and to generate those like you.
What do you mean, like me?
Keep your distance
from the beast.
Shut up!
I need to know.
If a Lord of the Night mates
with a non-vampire woman,
she will give birth to a Dampyr.
I'm not-- I'm not a--
Your blood
tells a different story.
I never knew my father.
He obviously hid the truth
from you to protect you.
The Lords of the Night kill
those like you at birth.
You're way too dangerous.
And now, from the moment
you killed one of his slaves,
Gorka knows you exist.
Which means what?
He'll do anything
to exterminate you.
[]
[COUGHING]
Javor.
Shit.
[RETCHING]
SOLDIER 1: What's going on?
SOLDIER 2: Javor?
STEFAN:
What the fuck is happening?
Why did you stop?
Javor.
Javor! Javor!
Javor! Javor!
[]
[SOLDIERS SCREAMING]
Run, kid! Run!
[SCREAMS]
Run, Yuri! Run!
[SOLDIERS CLAMORING, SCREAMING]
[SCREAMS ECHOING]
LAZAR: Run, Yuri!
[GROANS]
What's happening?
[GASPS, BREATHING HEAVILY]
The fuck are you doing to him?
It's him.
Gorka.
LAZAR:
Run!
[SOLDIER SCREAMS]
LAZAR:
Run, Yuri!
Run!
[PANTING]
YURI:
Harlan!
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
He's got Yuri.
He's got your men.
It's my fault.
Can you take me to him?
Please.
GORKA:
Yes, bring him here
to my slaughterhouse.
Our pack was
going back to the city.
I can help you find him.
Why the fuck would you do that?
Huh?
Only a Dampyr can kill
the Lord of the Night.
If Gorka dies...
I'm free.
I don't trust her.
She's one of them.
She'll jump us
the first chance she gets.
No. She's scared of me.
I'll watch her, okay?
First thing to do is find a way
out of this fucking church.
Well, that's easy, soldier boy.
[AN EMOTIONAL FISH'S
"CELEBRATE" PLAYING]
She insists
That she's a lunatic
Closer to the bone
She hardly ever
Visits upstairs
We'll ride the telephone
Well, I guess beauty does
What beauty does best
It's beautiful
[CHUCKLES]
She says that's the trouble
With reality
It's taken
Far too seriously
I do hope God is good to me
And Santa Claus
To the children
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
KURJAK:
Nice handbag.
Come on, pretty boy.
["CELEBRATE" CONTINUES
INDISTINCTLY OVER CAR STEREO]
I see you went shopping too.
It's a planet
Full of traffic lights
And traffic light abusers
But that's taken
Far too seriously
I do hope God is good to me
And Santa Claus
To the children
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
[CLASSICAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYS]
Leave it.
KURJAK:
That mask you're wearing
suits you.
TESLA:
Don't you know that sunlight is
bad for the skin, soldier boy?
[]
[WOMAN LAUGHS]
TESLA:
What are you?
YOUNG HARLAN: Mom?
Monster! Monster!
NIKOLA:
You're damned. And so is
your mother, that filthy witch.
My mother isn't a witch!
Get out of here!
TESLA:
The smell of your blood.
What are you?
HARLAN: Mom!
KURJAK:
What exactly are you?
PETER:
Monster! Monster!
HARLAN:
What do you mean, like me?
Mom!
KURJAK: What exactly are you?
LAZAR:
The son of the devil.
[SCREAMING]
DRAKA:
Harlan.
Come here to me.
AYSHA:
Be careful, Harlan.
What?
What happened?
KURJAK:
You tell me.
You blacked out in the car.
Started babbling like crazy.
Shaking like you were
possessed or something.
I've always had nightmares.
Now they seem
more and more real.
Like memories trying
to re-emerge.
I-- I don't know.
You must think
I'm fucking crazy.
What we've been through
would drive anyone crazy.
Fuck!
[]
Hey, she said she was going
for something to eat.
And we know
what her diet consists of.
Her friends could show up
at any moment.
TESLA:
I don't have any friends.
But I can hear you whisper
from far away.
Didn't your mother teach you
it's rude...
to whisper about people
behind their backs?
Huh?
Soldier boy.
Besides, I've seen
the way you fight your war.
Do you really think you're
better than those like me?
You know nothing of war.
Would you two just fucking quit?
[]
Your wounds are disappearing.
You're just like us.
You can't expect Kurjak
to accept it as normal.
It's hard for me too.
Blood has memories.
Believe me,
I'd rather forget everything
than live with the memory of
what Gorka forced me to endure.
And what he forced me to do.
Tesla...
I'm trusting you.
[WHISPERS]
Don't worry.
What the...?
[GRUNTS, CRIES OUT]
[ROARS]
[GASPING]
[SHUSHING]
GORKA:
It gives me such pleasure
to feel the fear pulsating
in your veins.
I shall never tire of playing
with your miserable lives,
whilst you pray in vain
to be spared.
[GROANING]
How does it feel to know
your life is coming to an end?
I have no idea
what death feels like.
I can sniff a hint of it
from your terror.
We have always existed,
and we always will,
being close
to kings and emperors,
led them and killed them.
Whatever was necessary
to placate our thirst.
Past, present and future
are meaningless to us.
Only blood is important.
I will unleash you
from your fear.
And you, faithful dog...
will join my army.
[STEFAN SCREAMING]
[GUNFIRE IN DISTANCE]
Everyone's trying
to get out of this hellhole...
and we're thinking of going in.
I know how to get us
around the roadblocks.
But once we're in...
once it gets dark...
if there really are more
like the beast...
then this won't do any good.
[]
You never know.
Now that the bloodsucker is
more comfortable,
you want to tell me
what you have in mind?
[HARLAN WINCING]
You think it'll work?
You're the vampire, Tesla.
What do you think?
It could.
Could?
Let's fucking see.
HARLAN:
Well...
guess we load them up.
Not just a pretty face, huh?
[HARLAN CHUCKLES]
Here.
You want one?
Yeah.
The beast wants one.
You're dangerous enough
without one.
You're right, soldier boy.
But if I wanted to kill you,
you'd be dead already.
But if I enter the
city barehanded,
I'm dead meat.
Suits me.
I won't have to watch my back
for you anymore.
You know, you're really starting
to piss me off.
Tesla! Just... let him go.
How about we see if these
new bullets work, huh, Harlan?
Go ahead.
Shoot.
It'd only be
a liberation for me.
[CHUCKLES]
Your war is child's play
compared to what
I've been through.
So do me a favor, soldier boy,
cut your macho-man bullshit.
HARLAN:
Hey.
[]
Tesla...
you know I could have
shot you, right?
I know.
But you didn't.
Because you know what it means
to be different.
Be careful.
It's my blood.
KURJAK:
Let's move, lovebirds.

Come on.

They're coming.

Let's go, they're coming!

What is it?
It's better to avoid
the busier streets.
Come on.
Follow me.
Something's wrong.
Tesla!

You can fight him, Tesla.
You're wrong.
He's too strong.

That photo in your pocket...
it was your wife and son, right?
Miklos and Miljiana.
Miklos was 9

I'm sorry.
This is war.
Keep the pressure on.
From the moment you're born...
they tell you that their way
is the right way.
They teach you to the point
that not only
do you believe it yourself...
but in the end...
it becomes you
who teaches it to others.
To command it, even.
Maybe there is no right team.
Maybe we're all destined
to be on the wrong side.
Or maybe this is the only war
that deserves to be fought.

Don't you see the irony of that?
You are insignificant!

A puppet who only moves

I want him to find me.

the mistake they made
in allowing him to live.

Ah.

You can try it,
you fucking monster.
Monster?
Me?
You're the only abomination
here.
Now that I have you
in front of me,
your stink confirms
what I have always suspected.
You belong to Draka's lineage.
Draka was a fool.
He should never have let you
into this world or live so long.
And if he wanted to use you
solely for revenge...
then he miscalculated.
Just as I drove him from here
centuries ago...
now I will kill you.
Blood of his blood...
how dare you live so long?
[GROANING]
Impressive.
Don't you think it's sublime...
the futility of all this?

No, don't faint yet.
I have someone

A special friend.

I knew you'd come for me.

Gorka is my master now.
I couldn't stop him.
He was in my head.

I don't wanna live like this.

You fought well, soldier.

KURJAK:
What is this place?
TESLA:
This can't have anything

Gorka said it once belonged
to my father.
This is my father.
That's how I see him

I guess ugly

There are many others like him.
Then it's going to be
a long war, huh?
Welcome to the world

We're gonna become
their nightmare.

DRAKA:
Our son has made his choice,
Velma.
He has become...
the Dampyr.
But he didn't agree
to follow you.
Nor to become your ally.
He might try to kill you.
Perhaps.
Or...
perhaps he will heed

Hmm.
What exactly are you?
Me?
I'm a Dampyr.
A vampire hunter.
Me and my partner, we go around
making sure anyone bitten
by those hellish creatures
doesn't come back to life.

Yeah.

Take a good fucking look.
I don't know
who or what did this,
but the same could happen
to you tonight.
Are you fucking crazy?
The Dampyr is bullshit!
YURI:
Hey, leave him!
He's only saying that
just to save his own skin.
But we come from the same town
and we all know
what he really is.
The son of the devil.
The proof is in the fact
that he hasn't aged a bit
since I first met him.
KURJAK:
Let's see which of you
is telling the truth.
Lazar, give him your gun.
Move!
It's fully loaded.
Don't waste it.
Load up!
You're gonna get him killed.
STEFAN: Hey, we gave him a gun.
Your friend is the goat

You brought us

Let's kill that mons--

Makes no sense killing her.
He's right.
That's the only thing
that can tell us

Let's leave Kurjak here

They'll be back. It's...
It's dangerous. It's not safe.
I'm not leaving you here.
You gotta go.
No.

Please, Harlan.

Don't do this to me, Harlan.
Let me stay with you,
Harlan, please.
Come away with us.
Please, Harlan.
Harlan, please.
Let go of me!
Look at it this way, Kurjak.
Staying here could be
the best way
to get yourself killed...
and see your son again.
Run as far as you can, Stefan.
Because as soon as command finds
out you're fucking chicken,
they will come for you.
Then we'll make sure
you can't tell anyone...

Who's Gorka?

It's because of him
I am what I am.

have power
to give life
to other vampires...
and to generate those like you.
What do you mean, like me?
Keep your distance
from the beast.
Shut up!
I need to know.
If a Lord of the Night mates
with a non-vampire woman,
she will give birth to a Dampyr.
I'm not-- I'm not a--
Your blood
tells a different story.
I never knew my father.
He obviously hid the truth
from you to protect you.
The Lords of the Night kill
those like you at birth.
You're way too dangerous.
And now, from the moment
you killed one of his slaves,
Gorka knows you exist.
Which means what?
He'll do anything
to exterminate you.

Javor.
Shit.
[RETCHING]
SOLDIER 1: What's going on?
SOLDIER 2: Javor?
STEFAN:
What the fuck is happening?
Why did you stop?
Javor.
Javor! Javor!
Javor! Javor!

LAZAR: Run, Yuri!
[GROANS]
What's happening?
[GASPS, BREATHING HEAVILY]
The fuck are you doing to him?
It's him.
Gorka.
LAZAR:
Run!
[SOLDIER SCREAMS]
LAZAR:
Run, Yuri!
Run!
[PANTING]
YURI:
Harlan!
[EXHALING SHARPLY]
He's got Yuri.
He's got your men.
It's my fault.
Can you take me to him?
Please.
GORKA:
Yes, bring him here
to my slaughterhouse.
Our pack was
going back to the city.
I can help you find him.
Why the fuck would you do that?
Huh?
Only a Dampyr can kill
the Lord of the Night.
If Gorka dies...
I'm free.
I don't trust her.
She's one of them.
She'll jump us
the first chance she gets.
No. She's scared of me.
I'll watch her, okay?
First thing to do is find a way
out of this fucking church.
Well, that's easy, soldier boy.
[AN EMOTIONAL FISH'S

She insists
That she's a lunatic
Closer to the bone
She hardly ever
Visits upstairs
We'll ride the telephone
Well, I guess beauty does
What beauty does best
It's beautiful
[CHUCKLES]
She says that's the trouble
With reality
It's taken
Far too seriously
I do hope God is good to me
And Santa Claus
To the children
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
KURJAK:
Nice handbag.
Come on, pretty boy.
["CELEBRATE" CONTINUES
INDISTINCTLY OVER CAR STEREO]
I see you went shopping too.
It's a planet
Full of traffic lights
And traffic light abusers
But that's taken
Far too seriously
I do hope God is good to me
And Santa Claus
To the children
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
Celebrate
This party's over
I'm going home
[CLASSICAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYS]
Leave it.
KURJAK:
That mask you're wearing
suits you.
TESLA:
Don't you know that sunlight is
bad for the skin, soldier boy?
[]
[WOMAN LAUGHS]
TESLA:
What are you?
YOUNG HARLAN: Mom?
Monster! Monster!
NIKOLA:
You're damned. And so is
your mother, that filthy witch.
My mother isn't a witch!
Get out of here!
TESLA:
The smell of your blood.
What are you?
HARLAN: Mom!
KURJAK:
What exactly are you?
PETER:
Monster! Monster!
HARLAN:
What do you mean, like me?
Mom!
KURJAK: What exactly are you?
LAZAR:
The son of the devil.
[SCREAMING]
DRAKA:
Harlan.
Come here to me.
AYSHA:
Be careful, Harlan.
What?
What happened?
KURJAK:
You tell me.
You blacked out in the car.
Started babbling like crazy.
Shaking like you were
possessed or something.
I've always had nightmares.
Now they seem
more and more real.
Like memories trying
to re-emerge.
I-- I don't know.
You must think
I'm fucking crazy.
What we've been through
would drive anyone crazy.
Fuck!
[]
Hey, she said she was going
for something to eat.
And we know
what her diet consists of.
Her friends could show up
at any moment.
TESLA:
I don't have any friends.
But I can hear you whisper
from far away.
Didn't your mother teach you
it's rude...
to whisper about people
behind their backs?
Huh?
Soldier boy.
Besides, I've seen
the way you fight your war.
Do you really think you're
better than those like me?
You know nothing of war.
Would you two just fucking quit?
[]
Your wounds are disappearing.
You're just like us.
You can't expect Kurjak
to accept it as normal.
It's hard for me too.
Blood has memories.
Believe me,
I'd rather forget everything
than live with the memory of
what Gorka forced me to endure.
And what he forced me to do.
Tesla...
I'm trusting you.
[WHISPERS]
Don't worry.
What the...?
[GRUNTS, CRIES OUT]
[ROARS]
[GASPING]
[SHUSHING]
GORKA:
It gives me such pleasure
to feel the fear pulsating
in your veins.
I shall never tire of playing
with your miserable lives,
whilst you pray in vain
to be spared.
[GROANING]
How does it feel to know
your life is coming to an end?
I have no idea
what death feels like.
I can sniff a hint of it
from your terror.
We have always existed,
and we always will,
being close
to kings and emperors,
led them and killed them.
Whatever was necessary
to placate our thirst.
Past, present and future
are meaningless to us.
Only blood is important.
I will unleash you
from your fear.
And you, faithful dog...
will join my army.
[STEFAN SCREAMING]
[GUNFIRE IN DISTANCE]
Everyone's trying
to get out of this hellhole...
and we're thinking of going in.
I know how to get us
around the roadblocks.
But once we're in...
once it gets dark...
if there really are more
like the beast...
then this won't do any good.
[]
You never know.
Now that the bloodsucker is
more comfortable,
you want to tell me
what you have in mind?
[HARLAN WINCING]
You think it'll work?
You're the vampire, Tesla.
What do you think?
It could.
Could?
Let's fucking see.
HARLAN:
Well...
guess we load them up.
Not just a pretty face, huh?
[HARLAN CHUCKLES]
Here.
You want one?
Yeah.
The beast wants one.
You're dangerous enough
without one.
You're right, soldier boy.
But if I wanted to kill you,
you'd be dead already.
But if I enter the
city barehanded,
I'm dead meat.
Suits me.
I won't have to watch my back
for you anymore.
You know, you're really starting
to piss me off.
Tesla! Just... let him go.
How about we see if these
new bullets work, huh, Harlan?
Go ahead.
Shoot.
It'd only be
a liberation for me.
[CHUCKLES]
Your war is child's play
compared to what
I've been through.
So do me a favor, soldier boy,
cut your macho-man bullshit.
HARLAN:
Hey.
[]
Tesla...
you know I could have
shot you, right?
I know.
But you didn't.
Because you know what it means
to be different.
Be careful.
It's my blood.
KURJAK:
Let's move, lovebirds.

under the old library.
We need to walk through this--

Move!

Come on.

Let's go, they're coming!

Let's go, let's go!
What is it?
It's better to avoid
the busier streets.
Come on.
Follow me.
Something's wrong.
Tesla!

KURJAK:
We've been walking for hours.
[RIFLE RACKS]
I think the bitch walked us
into a fucking trap.
TESLA:
I can't get you to him.
Gorka set it up.
He knows we're coming.
You warned him.
I didn't have to.
Lords of the Night
know everything.
You can't hide from them.
You fucking warned him!
They're here.

Son of a bitch.
[LAUGHING]
[RAPID GUNFIRE]
Fuck!
Move!
Stop, you bastards!
[LAUGHING]
It fucking works!
I told you it would.

Our new master...
wants you dead,
you son of a witch.
[LAZAR ROARS]
Told you war was bad for you,
you little shit.
[GROWLING]
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
Fuck you!
Need some help there, old man?
Fuck you.
[CHUCKLES]
Come on.
[GROANS]
[SIGHS]
There we go.
The only one
I wanted to kill was Stefan.
I know.
Wait!
Fuck this.
It's okay.
Harlan.
It's Gorka.
He's making me do this.
[]
You can fight him, Tesla.
You're wrong.
He's too strong.
Move out of the fucking way.
You are not his slave.
I can't help it.
Move.
Kill me.
Please kill me.
Please kill me.
[GUNSHOT]
Fuck it!
[SOFTLY]
I'm sorry.
KURJAK:
Harlan!
Hey. Come.
Come.
[WHISPERS]
Fuck.
Okay. Clean the wound.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
It is going to sting.
Okay.
Ready?
Yeah.
[GROANS]
[WINCING]
KURJAK:
There we go.
Okay, okay.
Drink.
Yeah.
That's it.
You're gonna be okay.
KURJAK: Brave boy.
HARLAN: Yeah.
[HARLAN SIGHING]
That photo in your pocket...
it was your wife and son, right?
Miklos and Miljiana.
Miklos was 9
when he was killed.
I'm sorry.
This is war.
Keep the pressure on.
From the moment you're born...
they tell you that their way
is the right way.
They teach you to the point
that not only
do you believe it yourself...
but in the end...
it becomes you
who teaches it to others.
To command it, even.
Maybe there is no right team.
Maybe we're all destined
to be on the wrong side.
Or maybe this is the only war
that deserves to be fought.

You can't rebel.
We belong to the same master.

I belong to no one.
It's okay.
GORKA:
Love is so overestimated.
I prefer fear.
[]
And you are scared now, Tesla.
Because you know, like a dog,
you have bitten the hand
that feeds you.
[GROWLS]
A vampire and a Dampyr.
Don't you see the irony of that?
You are insignificant!
[COUGHS]
A puppet who only moves
when I pull the strings.
My property.
And mine alone.
The Dampyr will find you...
and he will kill you.
I want him to find me.
And then I will remedy
the mistake they made
in allowing him to live.
[GASPING]
[LAUGHING]
HARLAN:
Well, you're not
much of a nurse.
Is this how you watch
over the dying?
You got a death wish? No?
Nice to see that
when you were patching me up,
you took more of my blood.
Ah.
[SIGHS]
Let me see the wound.
Shit.
And it doesn't hurt.
Never seen anything like it.
[LAUGHS]
I partnered up
with a fucking superhero, huh?
Yeah.
Or maybe a monster.
[]
This looks like the place.
What now, pretty boy?
Go in,
kill Gorka,
free Yuri.
Simple.
Simple.
It's quiet.
Too quiet.
Let's meet upstairs.

Daddy?
Miklos?
Daddy?

why did you leave me?
Why did you leave me?
Why did you leave me?

Tesla.
[STEFAN LAUGHING]

Leave her.
Leave her!
Fucking leave her!
[SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING]
Stop! Aah!
[SPITS]
You fucking piece of shit.
[SCREAMING]
Stop!
[PANTING]
I've always despised you,
Kurjak.
You and your obsession
with rules.
[CACKLES]
Your fucking sense of honor.
[GROANING]
They might have turned you
into a monster, Stefan...
but one thing will never change.
You're still a fucking pussy.

[]
HARLAN:
Gorka!
Yuri!
I've been expecting you, Dampyr.
You're too slow.
[GORKA LAUGHS]
And now,
in my kingdom,
I can finally kill you.
[YELLS]
You can try it,
you fucking monster.
Monster?
Me?
You're the only abomination
here.
Now that I have you
in front of me,
your stink confirms
what I have always suspected.
You belong to Draka's lineage.
Draka was a fool.
He should never have let you
into this world or live so long.
And if he wanted to use you
solely for revenge...
then he miscalculated.
Just as I drove him from here
centuries ago...
now I will kill you.
Blood of his blood...
how dare you live so long?
[GROANING]
Impressive.
Don't you think it's sublime...
the futility of all this?
[]
[GROANING]
No, don't faint yet.
I have someone
who wants
to say goodbye to you.
A special friend.
[]
Harlan?
[WEAKLY]
Yu-- Yuri.
Yuri, forgive me.
For what?
I knew you'd come for me.
[CHUCKLES]
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Yuri.
[ROARS]
No!
[CLAWS PIERCING FLESH]
I'm sorry, old friend.
Gorka is my master now.
I couldn't stop him.
He was in my head.
I know.
I don't wanna live like this.
Please, Harlan.
[WHIMPERS]
It's okay, Yuri.
I'm here.
You're a true Dampyr, my friend.
It was great...
working with you.
[INAUDIBLE]
What a heartbreaking farewell.
[GROWLING]
[YELLS]
[SIGHS]
[LAUGHS]
The soldier and the traitor.
You fucking bastard.
You will remain buried here...
drenched in the suffering
these walls have seen.
And you will live
that suffering for eternity...
with every fiber of your being.

VIVIEN:
It's time to choose, Harlan.
I must know.

DRAKA:
Harlan. Come.
Come here to me.
What is wrong, Harlan?
Are you afraid
of your own father?
Or should I perhaps
be afraid of my son?
Listen to your blood, my son.
Listen to who you are.
[THUNDER ECHOING]
[]
[]
[YELLS]
[GROWLING]
Why did Draka let you live,
Dampyr?
Why?
[WEAKLY]
I have lived like a god
amongst creatures
that are destined to die.
But because of you, Dampyr...
now I know...
the brilliant glare...
of death.
[GROANS SOFTLY]
You fought well, soldier.
[DOOR SCRAPES OPEN]
Come on.
[]
KURJAK:
What is this place?
TESLA:
This can't have anything
to do with Gorka.
Gorka said it once belonged
to my father.
This is my father.
That's how I see him
in my visions.
I guess ugly
runs in the family, then.
There are many others like him.
Then it's going to be
a long war, huh?
Welcome to the world
of nightmares, soldier boy.
We're gonna become
their nightmare.
[]
DRAKA:
Our son has made his choice,
Velma.
He has become...
the Dampyr.
But he didn't agree
to follow you.
Nor to become your ally.
He might try to kill you.
Perhaps.
Or...
perhaps he will heed
the call of his blood.
My blood.
[]
For this is only the beginning.
The beginning of my war.
