1. It's all about these old families,
like the Belmonts,
Copy !req
2. who control all the power
and go to war with each other.
Copy !req
3. And who's caught in the middle?
Copy !req
4. - We are.
- We are!
Copy !req
5. Because we don't matter.
Copy !req
6. Do you know why?
Copy !req
7. Where'd you come from?
Copy !req
8. Well, out of your aunt, according to you.
Copy !req
9. You came from shit.
Copy !req
10. I came from shit.
Copy !req
11. We all came from shit.
Copy !req
12. We just work for a living
every day of our lives.
Copy !req
13. We just keep those bastards
in food and wool.
Copy !req
14. Slaves! That's what we are.
Copy !req
15. Slaves to great old families
and their games.
Copy !req
16. Sorry. Can I get my ale?
Copy !req
17. It's just that I think I'm sobering up.
Copy !req
18. All right, all right, but wanna see
some coin from you now.
Copy !req
19. Ohh.
Copy !req
20. Huh.
Copy !req
21. Hey, what's that on your chest?
Copy !req
22. Oh... my shirt.
Copy !req
23. Just one more tankard, eh?
Copy !req
24. Something to keep me warm
while I find a tree to sleep under.
Copy !req
25. That's a family crest. I know it.
Copy !req
26. I don't. Just one more drink
and then I'll leave, all right?
Copy !req
27. That's a Belmont crest.
Copy !req
28. Really? Look, here's the money.
Copy !req
29. You're a Belmont, aren't you?
Copy !req
30. House of Belmont, Family Belmont!
Copy !req
31. Never met them.
Copy !req
32. Listen, just forget it.
Copy !req
33. I'll just go.
Copy !req
34. No! You're a Belmont!
Copy !req
35. This is all your fault.
Copy !req
36. I don't know what you're talking about.
Copy !req
37. Yes, you do.
Copy !req
38. Yes, you do.
Copy !req
39. Everyone knows the Belmonts
dealt in black magic.
Copy !req
40. The Belmonts dealt with monsters.
Copy !req
41. The Belmonts fought monsters,
son... so I'm told.
Copy !req
42. This is just an old shirt.
Copy !req
43. The Belmonts
were excommunicated by the church,
Copy !req
44. banished, disowned,
Copy !req
45. their lands taken because they were evil.
Copy !req
46. Evil.
Copy !req
47. And now Dracula's hordes
are abroad in the land.
Copy !req
48. And whose fault is that?
Copy !req
49. Well, it ain't mine.
Copy !req
50. The Belmonts traded in black magic,
Copy !req
51. and now black magic is all over Wallachia.
Copy !req
52. I think you know exactly
whose fault that is.
Copy !req
53. I'm leaving, okay?
Copy !req
54. I'm leaving now.
Copy !req
55. So you can lead
your monster friends back here?
Copy !req
56. So I can find somewhere to piss
and somewhere else to sleep.
Copy !req
57. No, you can sleep right here.
Copy !req
58. - You haven't got your shovel.
Copy !req
59. I don't need it.
Copy !req
60. Confess, and I'll make it quick.
Copy !req
61. What's your name?
Copy !req
62. Jesus of Nazareth.
Copy !req
63. Look, I'm carrying
a short sword and a whip.
Copy !req
64. Try again.
Copy !req
65. Trevor Belmont. House of Belmont.
Copy !req
66. Last son of the Belmont family.
Happy now?
Copy !req
67. No.
Copy !req
68. Unh! Ooh.
Copy !req
69. Ooh, oh, whoa!
Copy !req
70. - Oi!
Copy !req
71. Fucking face down here!
Copy !req
72. That's how you want it? Listen.
Copy !req
73. I used to fight fucking vampires.
Copy !req
74. Unh!
Copy !req
75. Kick him!
Copy !req
76. Would you please leave
my testicles alone? Ugh!
Copy !req
77. Hey!
Copy !req
78. I'm Trevor fucking Belmont,
Copy !req
79. and I've never lost a fight
to man nor fucking beast.
Copy !req
80. Oh!
Copy !req
81. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
82. Oh, Christ.
Copy !req
83. Bastards.
Copy !req
84. I hope you all bleed out.
Copy !req
85. Through your arses!
Copy !req
86. Mm... every last rat bastard one of you.
Copy !req
87. Oh.
Copy !req
88. Oh.
Copy !req
89. Bloody Gresit.
Copy !req
90. Last stop between me and starvation.
Copy !req
91. The next town's 40 bloody miles away.
Copy !req
92. Here we go.
Copy !req
93. Hmm.
Copy !req
94. No one's getting in,
and no one's getting out.
Copy !req
95. Pretty sure they wouldn't do that
just to deny me breakfast.
Copy !req
96. Hmm.
Copy !req
97. Whoa.
Copy !req
98. God forbid you should warn anyone
before emptying your fucking shit pots.
Copy !req
99. Never thought I'd be so hungry
Copy !req
100. I'd climb a shit pipe
in pursuit of breakfast.
Copy !req
101. Oh, never mind.
Copy !req
102. What will one coin buy me?
Copy !req
103. Bit of dried goat.
Copy !req
104. Haven't seen you before.
Copy !req
105. I'm just passing through.
Copy !req
106. I'll take it, thanks.
Copy !req
107. You want to pass through quicker.
Copy !req
108. Yeah, I guess you've got
some troubles here.
Copy !req
109. Is there a defense effort?
Copy !req
110. Don't need it. We got a tribe
of Speakers in the city.
Copy !req
111. Once we've done what needs to be done,
the demons will leave us alone.
Copy !req
112. There's an old story,
the Sleeping Soldier.
Copy !req
113. They say he was a great hero
hundreds of years ago,
Copy !req
114. but now he sleep under the catacombs.
Copy !req
115. Hmm, what for?
Copy !req
116. To wait until he's needed again,
of course.
Copy !req
117. I think he'll come back.
Copy !req
118. Really?
Copy !req
119. Oh, yes, but keep it quiet.
Copy !req
120. The new bishop hates the old wisdom.
Copy !req
121. Dracula's monsters come at night,
Copy !req
122. but the bishop's men come
in the middle of the day.
Copy !req
123. You know what I mean?
Copy !req
124. You know what I think?
Copy !req
125. I think the Speakers
make the Sleeping Soldier ill.
Copy !req
126. We have no defenses,
so of course Dracula's bastards
Copy !req
127. come over the wall every night.
Copy !req
128. The bishop will sort things out.
Copy !req
129. This city has, not to put
too fine a point on it, gone to hell.
Copy !req
130. If the others will just do as he says
when he tells us to do it,
Copy !req
131. then all will be in order.
Copy !req
132. I warned you.
You can't say I didn't warn you.
Copy !req
133. You did not listen to me, sir.
Copy !req
134. Are you talking back to me?
Copy !req
135. No, I'm merely talking to you.
Copy !req
136. Anyone can see that we are not responsible
for what befalls Gresit.
Copy !req
137. No, keep walking.
Copy !req
138. So, now I'm stupid?
Copy !req
139. I work within the light of God Himself,
but you can see things I can't
Copy !req
140. with your magic?
Copy !req
141. There's no magic, sir.
We are here to help, that's all.
Copy !req
142. Speakers don't help.
Copy !req
143. Speakers are tainted.
You attract evil,
Copy !req
144. and you and yours were told
to be out of Gresit by sunset.
Copy !req
145. And see? The sun is up.
Copy !req
146. Take a good look at the sunrise, old man.
Copy !req
147. Will killing an old man
make you less scared of the dark?
Copy !req
148. I don't know.
Maybe it will just make me feel better.
Copy !req
149. Oh, hell. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
150. I was trying to snatch the stave
out of your hand. How's your finger?
Copy !req
151. What fucking finger?
Copy !req
152. That's no way for a man
of the cloth to talk.
Copy !req
153. Why don't you go and get that looked at?
Copy !req
154. Kill the bastard!
Copy !req
155. Look, I don't like priests
at the best of times.
Copy !req
156. I mean, I really, really
don't like priests.
Copy !req
157. If you leave now,
we'll say no more about it.
Copy !req
158. Kill him now!
Copy !req
159. Last warning. This will get nasty.
Copy !req
160. Oh, now, that's a funny thing
for a priest to be carrying.
Copy !req
161. That's a thief's knife.
Copy !req
162. Seriously? I'm out of practice,
but I'm stone-cold sober.
Copy !req
163. Someone will get hurt.
Copy !req
164. Pick him up.
Take him back to your church.
Copy !req
165. Don't bother this man
or his people again.
Copy !req
166. The violence wasn't necessary, sir.
Copy !req
167. But...
Copy !req
168. it is appreciated.
Copy !req
169. I am the elder of the Codrii Speakers.
Copy !req
170. Thank you for your kindness
Copy !req
171. and, I think, your restraint.
Copy !req
172. You're welcome, Elder.
Can I accompany you to your train?
Copy !req
173. We have settled here in Gresit.
Copy !req
174. No caravans.
Copy !req
175. But I would be glad of your company
on the way to our lodging.
Copy !req
176. How many are you?
Copy !req
177. Eleven, though I insist
we be counted as 12.
Copy !req
178. One of us is missing, you see.
Copy !req
179. This is where we live.
Please, come inside. Meet my people.
Copy !req
180. Elder, we were worried about you.
Copy !req
181. I told you it was too soon to go outdoors.
Copy !req
182. And I told you it was necessary
to offer aid to the people.
Copy !req
183. However, I was met by some
of the Christian priests.
Copy !req
184. Are you all right?
Copy !req
185. Thanks to this man.
Copy !req
186. Although I fear there may be
trouble ahead because of it.
Copy !req
187. What did you do?
Copy !req
188. I'm a little out of practice.
Copy !req
189. They're both still alive.
Copy !req
190. You used violence on them?
Copy !req
191. The younger people believe
that words can speak louder than actions.
Copy !req
192. Well, you're Speakers.
Words are what you do.
Copy !req
193. You know of us?
Copy !req
194. My family's always been
on good terms with Speakers,
Copy !req
195. although my father
once got into a fight with one.
Copy !req
196. True Speakers do not fight.
Copy !req
197. When he tried to convince a Speaker
Copy !req
198. to have your oral history
transcribed on paper.
Copy !req
199. Ah, yes, we are
quite protective of our ways.
Copy !req
200. History is a living thing.
Paper is dead.
Copy !req
201. Would you like something to eat?
Copy !req
202. I'd prefer something to drink.
Copy !req
203. Arn, bring our friend some water.
Copy !req
204. Oh, the... never mind, then.
Copy !req
205. Maybe you can just tell me
why you're here.
Copy !req
206. Speakers live anywhere they deem right.
Copy !req
207. You must know that.
Copy !req
208. I know Speakers are nomadic tribes.
Copy !req
209. You seem to have been here a while.
Copy !req
210. And how do you know that?
Copy !req
211. Because the locals are blaming you
for the attacks.
Copy !req
212. That's the church's doing.
They need something to blame.
Copy !req
213. To divert people from the truth,
Copy !req
214. that the church itself brought
Dracula's hordes down on the land.
Copy !req
215. Really?
Copy !req
216. There were Speakers
in Targoviste one year ago.
Copy !req
217. The church burned Dracula's wife
at the stake as a witch.
Copy !req
218. Shit.
Copy !req
219. That is indeed one way of putting it.
Copy !req
220. But you didn't answer my question.
Copy !req
221. There is no structure
left in Gresit.
Copy !req
222. No doctors, no aid.
Copy !req
223. If you know Speakers, then you know
we can't turn away from those in need.
Copy !req
224. That is why we are here.
Copy !req
225. May as well tell him the rest.
Copy !req
226. In Speaker history,
there is an old story,
Copy !req
227. a legend, probably.
Copy !req
228. I like stories.
Copy !req
229. The story says that a savior
sleeps under Gresit,
Copy !req
230. a great hero who sleeps
until he is needed,
Copy !req
231. until there is a darkness upon the land.
Copy !req
232. Oh, I heard that one.
The Sleeping Soldier.
Copy !req
233. It's a local legend.
Copy !req
234. Sounds weirdly convenient to me,
if you know what I mean.
Copy !req
235. Exactly how much
do you know about this, sir?
Copy !req
236. I'm a Belmont...
Copy !req
237. so I know you're a nomadic people
who gather knowledge,
Copy !req
238. memorize it, carry complete
spoken histories with you.
Copy !req
239. I also know you gather hidden knowledge
Copy !req
240. and have practitioners
of magic knowledge in your tribes.
Copy !req
241. A Belmont? I thought
your family had vanished.
Copy !req
242. If vanished is the polite way
of saying exiled, hated,
Copy !req
243. and burned out of
the ancestral home, then...
Copy !req
244. Then you know something of magic,
Copy !req
245. and so you know that
just because we found a story in our past,
Copy !req
246. it doesn't mean it originated there.
Copy !req
247. The wisest and cleverest of our magicians
Copy !req
248. know that dying is not absolute,
Copy !req
249. that it is possible
to hear stories from the future.
Copy !req
250. So, you think there's someone
that can save the city asleep under it,
Copy !req
251. and you're here to wait for him?
Copy !req
252. One of us went to look for him.
Copy !req
253. This would be your "missing" Speaker?
Copy !req
254. Yes. That one went into the catacombs
under the mausoleum west of the church.
Copy !req
255. Has not returned.
Copy !req
256. Isn't there a head man
in Gresit you could go to?
Copy !req
257. He died in the first horde attack.
Copy !req
258. Our searches have been unsuccessful.
Copy !req
259. So, what are your plans?
Copy !req
260. Find some more food,
find some drink,
Copy !req
261. get drunk, eat some food, move on.
Copy !req
262. - That's it?
- Maybe find a tall tree,
Copy !req
263. sit in it, watch the show
before I move on,
Copy !req
264. all the good little people
dying horribly, all that.
Copy !req
265. You feel no compassion?
Copy !req
266. This is what the church wanted.
Copy !req
267. My family were the only people
who could've fought Dracula and his army,
Copy !req
268. but they didn't want us.
Copy !req
269. They wanted to fight the darkness
on their own terms, good luck to them.
Copy !req
270. But the ordinary people of Wallachia,
they didn't get the choice.
Copy !req
271. For evil bastards to win power,
all ordinary people have to do
Copy !req
272. is stand aside and keep quiet.
Copy !req
273. There's always a choice.
Copy !req
274. Well, find a good tall tree.
Copy !req
275. You can watch us die, too.
Copy !req
276. Don't be crazy. Leave now.
Copy !req
277. Head south,
hook up with another train.
Copy !req
278. - It's his grandchild.
- Arn!
Copy !req
279. I don't care!
It's the elder's grandchild down there.
Copy !req
280. We can't even bury them.
Copy !req
281. It's not our way to just leave
our dead unattended to!
Copy !req
282. We stay for the people of Gresit.
Copy !req
283. Yes, we do. But we also stay
because we hope...
Copy !req
284. So, you're staying to die
with the good people of Gresit,
Copy !req
285. not just because it's a good thing to do,
Copy !req
286. but because you don't have
your grandchild's body?
Copy !req
287. If you want to put it that way.
Copy !req
288. If I go and recover your kid's body,
will you please leave?
Copy !req
289. Wait outside the city.
Copy !req
290. Give your aid to the survivors
when the night horde
Copy !req
291. finally just rips through this place.
Copy !req
292. Why would you do that?
Copy !req
293. They're going to come for you soon.
Copy !req
294. The good people. It's gonna be a pogrom.
Copy !req
295. They were talking about it
in the marketplace this morning.
Copy !req
296. I don't think you answered my question.
Copy !req
297. I know what it's like to be persecuted
Copy !req
298. by your own country
for the accident of your birth.
Copy !req
299. If I find your grandchild,
will you leave this city before nightfall?
Copy !req
300. If that is the condition
of your recovering, then yes.
Copy !req
301. I'm leaving now.
Copy !req
302. Don't go walkabouts looking
for people to give support to.
Copy !req
303. - Stay right here.
- Belmont.
Copy !req
304. It is not dying that frightens us.
Copy !req
305. It's living without ever
having done our best.
Copy !req
306. I don't care.
Copy !req
307. Frederator!
Copy !req
