1. Wait.
Copy !req
2. In peace.
Copy !req
3. I smell you, Forgemaster.
Copy !req
4. Interesting.
Copy !req
5. Not many people can smell an education.
Copy !req
6. It's not an education.
Copy !req
7. It's a curse.
Copy !req
8. It's easy to detect.
Copy !req
9. You just have to know
what Hell smells like.
Copy !req
10. And you know the smell of Hell?
Copy !req
11. Smelled it, tasted it, seen it.
Copy !req
12. You are also a man of faith,
aren't you?
Copy !req
13. Perhaps a Sufi, I think?
Copy !req
14. Of a sort.
Copy !req
15. My devotion has been a matter
of interrogation for some years,
Copy !req
16. and the reparation of my heart
is far away.
Copy !req
17. If you have a God,
Copy !req
18. then you probably also have a Devil.
Copy !req
19. And if God created everything,
Copy !req
20. then he also made Hell.
Copy !req
21. The Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, once said,
Copy !req
22. "One day there will be
no human beings left in Hell."
Copy !req
23. Perhaps I'm doing his work
Copy !req
24. and there will come a time
when my devotion is perfected.
Copy !req
25. How can this humble collector
Copy !req
26. be of service to you tonight,
Forgemaster?
Copy !req
27. In my travels, I have heard tell
Copy !req
28. that you possess
a large Carpathian transmission mirror.
Copy !req
29. Ohh.
Copy !req
30. I am so sad to say that
that was some years ago.
Copy !req
31. Purchased from me
by a lovely couple from Kolkata
Copy !req
32. who did not go out during the day,
Copy !req
33. if you take my meaning.
Copy !req
34. I do.
Copy !req
35. Damn.
Copy !req
36. But I have something else
that may be of interest.
Copy !req
37. A distance mirror.
Copy !req
38. It's clever, if somewhat prideful.
Copy !req
39. It will read a thought
arranged in your mind's eye.
Copy !req
40. When I indicate,
Copy !req
41. say your name and clap your hands.
Copy !req
42. And it likes to be called "sir."
Copy !req
43. The mirror wants to be called sir?
Copy !req
44. I don't make the rules.
Copy !req
45. I just run the shop.
Copy !req
46. Sir! You will obey the wishes
Copy !req
47. of the one who speaks his name next.
Copy !req
48. Isaac.
Copy !req
49. Sir Mirror, see my wish.
Copy !req
50. Ha!
Copy !req
51. There you are!
Are you breathing, betrayer?
Copy !req
52. Good.
Copy !req
53. Sir Mirror, where are we?
Copy !req
54. Hmm.
Copy !req
55. I do not recognize this place.
Copy !req
56. Sir Mirror,
who owns this castle you show me?
Copy !req
57. Carmilla.
Copy !req
58. So this is Styria.
Copy !req
59. Was this a useful thing?
Copy !req
60. Extremely. You have my thanks.
Copy !req
61. Hmm. Take the mirror. It's yours.
Copy !req
62. You would give me
such a valuable thing as a gift?
Copy !req
63. I would.
Copy !req
64. I have a feeling you haven't received
many gifts in your life,
Copy !req
65. and it pleases me
to improve that balance.
Copy !req
66. Also, I fully expect
to go to hell one day,
Copy !req
67. and that would be a situation
where I would be glad
Copy !req
68. to be owed a favor
by a forgemaster.
Copy !req
69. We shall find a ship.
Copy !req
70. We will have no truck
with mystics or demons.
Copy !req
71. You will get out of this city right now,
Copy !req
72. or face the consequences.
Copy !req
73. I intend to.
Copy !req
74. I am walking to the port
to find a ship right now.
Copy !req
75. No. You will leave the city.
Copy !req
76. Yes, by boat.
Copy !req
77. One more word and you will die,
and then your monsters. Move!
Copy !req
78. I was spoiled
by a single act of kindness in this city.
Copy !req
79. And so I attempted to be reasonable,
honest and peaceful.
Copy !req
80. This was against my better nature.
Copy !req
81. It was stupid to expect
anything other than hate from you.
Copy !req
82. I keep making the same mistake.
Copy !req
83. I should know better.
Copy !req
84. I don't need any of these bodies
for forging.
Copy !req
85. You may eat.
Copy !req
86. Ahh.
Copy !req
87. Bored.
Copy !req
88. Hurry your arses up!
Copy !req
89. I'm bored
and I want to be goin' somewhere.
Copy !req
90. Even though we're sailing somewhere old
and visited often and boring...
Copy !req
91. at least we'll be sailing somewhere.
Copy !req
92. My friends and I
need a ship to take us to Genoa.
Copy !req
93. Well, this is my ship right here.
Copy !req
94. Then perhaps we'll take this one.
Copy !req
95. You could. You surely could.
Copy !req
96. I see all your sharp-toothed
little friends,
Copy !req
97. and I've been afloat long enough
to know what they are.
Copy !req
98. Then why are you
still talking to me?
Copy !req
99. Because I'm interested.
Copy !req
100. And I like to do business.
Copy !req
101. And you tell me you need a ship.
Copy !req
102. I do. It seems suitable.
Copy !req
103. I believe I will kill you and all your men
and take it.
Copy !req
104. You could. You surely could.
Copy !req
105. But if you did all that
murderin' and takin',
Copy !req
106. who would be left to sail it?
Copy !req
107. Sailing a boat cannot be hard.
Copy !req
108. If it wasn't hard,
then why would sailors exist?
Copy !req
109. Why would ships need crews?
Copy !req
110. You make a good point.
Copy !req
111. But I've already
made the mistake tonight
Copy !req
112. of expecting humans
to make decent decisions.
Copy !req
113. Perhaps you weren't
offering them coins.
Copy !req
114. I'm not offering you coins.
Copy !req
115. Yes, you are.
Copy !req
116. You are offering coins
for my ship and our skills,
Copy !req
117. and your word that your beasties
won't eat any of my crew.
Copy !req
118. My word?
Copy !req
119. You've just said you've been disappointed
Copy !req
120. by men making improper decisions.
Copy !req
121. That leads me to believe
that you're a man of your word.
Copy !req
122. You are a strange man.
Copy !req
123. I'm bored.
Copy !req
124. Sailing with you, Sir Forgemaster,
Copy !req
125. will be many things,
Copy !req
126. but I doubt it will be boring.
Copy !req
127. Will ye be coming aboard, this night?
Copy !req
128. I am Isaac.
Copy !req
129. What is your name, Captain?
Copy !req
130. Name?
Copy !req
131. God knows. Forgot it long ago.
Copy !req
132. Doesn't matter.
I'm the Captain.
Copy !req
133. That's all you need to know,
and all you need to call me.
Copy !req
134. Do I have your word, Isaac?
Copy !req
135. You do.
Copy !req
136. And your coins, I trust?
Copy !req
137. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
138. Then we shake hands,
Copy !req
139. as travelers who have made an agreement
to sail together
Copy !req
140. without threat or fear.
Copy !req
141. Agreed.
Copy !req
142. Or bein' eaten by beasties.
Copy !req
143. You will not be eaten
by my beasties.
Copy !req
144. Excellent.
Copy !req
145. Lads! We have guests!
Copy !req
146. We sail for Genoa!
Copy !req
147. I have it!
Copy !req
148. What do you have?
Copy !req
149. The future.
Copy !req
150. Oh, I can't wait for this.
Copy !req
151. She's been home five minutes
Copy !req
152. and she's already carrying the future
rolled up under her arm.
Copy !req
153. The future does seem very portable.
Copy !req
154. Well, it's the future, isn't it?
Copy !req
155. You can't see it yet, so I suppose
it can't weigh very much.
Copy !req
156. Your comedy act hasn't improved
while I've been away.
Copy !req
157. I had the cartographer in.
Copy !req
158. Come and look at this.
Copy !req
159. This is us.
Copy !req
160. We have never been able
to project our power west.
Copy !req
161. Too many strong nations.
Copy !req
162. But if we look east...
Copy !req
163. we see an entire region
fractured and devastated
Copy !req
164. by Dracula's actions.
Copy !req
165. From here to Braila.
Copy !req
166. Our march from there to here
defines a destabilized zone
Copy !req
167. with no real power structures
or organization.
Copy !req
168. That must be eight hundred miles
of territory
Copy !req
169. as the crow flies.
Copy !req
170. I want you to think of it as
Greater Styria.
Copy !req
171. A corridor nation.
Copy !req
172. You've gone mad.
Copy !req
173. The vampire groups in this corridor
Copy !req
174. are hopelessly splintered
Copy !req
175. and very likely decimated
by the battle at Braila.
Copy !req
176. The humans are in complete chaos,
Copy !req
177. hiding in villages and being picked up
Copy !req
178. by abandoned night creatures
loose in the field.
Copy !req
179. Oh. Oh, wait. I think I see.
Copy !req
180. It's a pen, isn't it? A pen for livestock?
Copy !req
181. That's right.
Copy !req
182. We enclose this corridor
with all the humans in it.
Copy !req
183. Morana is right. You're insane.
Copy !req
184. How could we even police
such long borders?
Copy !req
185. We lost so many soldiers at Braila
Copy !req
186. that I'm not even sure
how we hold off an attack
Copy !req
187. from our neighbors right now.
Copy !req
188. We have Hector the Forgemaster
in our cells.
Copy !req
189. Hector can make night creatures.
Copy !req
190. The otherwise useless little bastard
Copy !req
191. can in fact create us a new army
from the regiments of hell itself.
Copy !req
192. And that is how we take control
of the corridor
Copy !req
193. and trap ourselves a flock of livestock...
Copy !req
194. that will keep us fed forever.
Copy !req
195. That's the wonderful thing about humans.
Copy !req
196. Leave a handful of them
alone for five minutes
Copy !req
197. and they'll make more little humans.
Copy !req
198. Self-replicating food.
Copy !req
199. So, that's my plan.
Copy !req
200. Take over a long enclosure of land,
surround it,
Copy !req
201. rule over it like the empresses of old,
Copy !req
202. and drink all the humans forever.
Copy !req
203. Brilliant, isn't it?
Copy !req
204. It's lunatic.
Copy !req
205. Do you know
what annoys me about it most?
Copy !req
206. What?
Copy !req
207. It's a really good idea.
Copy !req
208. The moment is perfect.
Copy !req
209. Your experience and all our intelligence
Copy !req
210. tells us it's chaos
from here to the Danube.
Copy !req
211. We simply don't have the strength
of numbers to make it work.
Copy !req
212. But we do have Hector.
Copy !req
213. We have a half dead thing in the cell
Copy !req
214. that will have no interest at all
in helping you do anything.
Copy !req
215. He is quite pliable.
Copy !req
216. He was quite pliable once.
Copy !req
217. And then
you got him to betray his master,
Copy !req
218. made him see all his goals destroyed,
Copy !req
219. beat the shit out of him,
Copy !req
220. and dragged him eight hundred miles
Copy !req
221. on the end of a rope.
Copy !req
222. I don't see him being happy
Copy !req
223. to do you any other favors, Carmilla.
Copy !req
224. She makes a fair point.
Copy !req
225. Maybe we could just torture him
until he does what he's told.
Copy !req
226. Also, night creatures
are loyal to their forgemasters.
Copy !req
227. We might just be giving him
the opportunity to create his own army.
Copy !req
228. Let me handle it.
Copy !req
229. Really?
Copy !req
230. Striga's the fighter,
Morana's the organizer...
Copy !req
231. they both have a plan to deal with.
Copy !req
232. Let me solve Hector.
Copy !req
233. Is this going to be like the time
Copy !req
234. you found a spider
with one broken leg
Copy !req
235. and you tore the castle apart
Copy !req
236. looking for something small enough
to make a splint out of?
Copy !req
237. No.
Copy !req
238. I suppose I'm awake now.
Copy !req
239. Mm. Sh'up.
Copy !req
240. Sorry?
Copy !req
241. Good boy.
Copy !req
242. Mmm.
Copy !req
243. Those smell so good.
Can I take two?
Copy !req
244. Those are on me.
Copy !req
245. Mister Belmont!
Copy !req
246. My, my,
Copy !req
247. what a formidable beast you are.
Copy !req
248. - Excuse me?
- You're excused.
Copy !req
249. I recognize, of course,
Copy !req
250. the crest
of the noble house of Belmont
Copy !req
251. upon your fine tunic. Oh.
Copy !req
252. Well, this fine tunic
Copy !req
253. that has, in fact,
seen better days, hasn't it?
Copy !req
254. Perhaps one of these local artisans
Copy !req
255. might conduct some discreet repairs
upon it,
Copy !req
256. and perhaps even introduce it
Copy !req
257. to the apparent mysteries
of soap and water.
Copy !req
258. Uh, who the hell are you?
Copy !req
259. Indeed! Hell!
Copy !req
260. These are the conversations we must have.
Copy !req
261. But first...
Copy !req
262. allow me to
formally introduce myself.
Copy !req
263. I am the Count Saint Germain.
Copy !req
264. Doubtless your family told you
stories about me.
Copy !req
265. Uh, my family were a little too dead
Copy !req
266. to tell me many stories.
Copy !req
267. Oh. Of course. The purge.
Copy !req
268. Great sympathies. Terrible crime.
Copy !req
269. Well, I knew your family,
Copy !req
270. and your family's sacred role
in this country.
Copy !req
271. I was curious as to what brought you
to remote Lindenfeld.
Copy !req
272. And such an entrance!
Copy !req
273. Dragging a dead night creature
behind your simple wagon.
Copy !req
274. A flourish
worthy of the royal courts of Europe.
Copy !req
275. You are practically the Jesus of murder.
Copy !req
276. I have no idea
what's happening right now.
Copy !req
277. Why are you here, Belmont?
Copy !req
278. What business is that of yours?
Copy !req
279. That remains to be seen.
Copy !req
280. I'm taking breakfast back to my partner.
Copy !req
281. Thanks for paying.
Copy !req
282. - Uh...
- No.
Copy !req
283. Prior Sala! What a beautiful morning.
Copy !req
284. Saint Germain.
Copy !req
285. I was wondering
if you'd given more thought to my request?
Copy !req
286. You wish to enter the priory.
For reasons that escape me.
Copy !req
287. I had been told that some of your books
had been damaged
Copy !req
288. when night creatures struck the priory.
Copy !req
289. Further, that some of the books
were in languages unfamiliar to you.
Copy !req
290. And that you had no scribes.
Copy !req
291. That much is true.
Copy !req
292. Our one scribe
was blessed with a quick death,
Copy !req
293. and we didn't even have to
bury all of him.
Copy !req
294. Uh, because...?
Copy !req
295. Partially devoured.
Copy !req
296. Terribly considerate chap, really.
Copy !req
297. Ahh.
Copy !req
298. I have scribal skills
and speak a great many languages.
Copy !req
299. I can also survey your artworks.
Copy !req
300. And...
Copy !req
301. I have knowledge of Dracula.
Copy !req
302. You do?
Copy !req
303. Further,
Copy !req
304. I know that the church
had certain knowledge
Copy !req
305. of Dracula for generations,
Copy !req
306. and some of it likely resides
Copy !req
307. in the books you cannot read or repair.
Copy !req
308. And what do you want in return?
Copy !req
309. Access to the priory.
Copy !req
310. To see its beauty
and to add to my knowledge.
Copy !req
311. I am but a humble scholar,
Copy !req
312. and such things
are the only riches I desire.
Copy !req
313. Let me be clear.
Copy !req
314. I no longer have interest
in the books of the Church.
Copy !req
315. The Church killed Dracula's wife.
Copy !req
316. We have what you might call
Copy !req
317. a new understanding
of our relationship to God.
Copy !req
318. But new knowledge of Dracula and Hell
Copy !req
319. would be useful to us in our work.
Copy !req
320. You may have limited access to the priory
so that you can search for it.
Copy !req
321. Limited how?
Copy !req
322. Limited.
Copy !req
323. Do you agree?
Copy !req
324. I do so agree, Prior Sala.
Copy !req
325. - Thank you.
- It's done.
Copy !req
326. Um, one... one question, I-if I may?
Copy !req
327. What interests you so much about Hell?
Copy !req
328. Dracula's wife is alive in Hell.
Copy !req
329. Dracula went from Braila,
to join her there.
Copy !req
330. Phew.
Copy !req
331. Well, that was unusual.
Copy !req
332. Still. Finally, forward motion.
Copy !req
333. I may yet triumph.
Copy !req
334. Of course, I will triumph.
How could it be otherwise?
Copy !req
335. I am immortal and glorious,
and all these other people smell of piss.
Copy !req
336. Please!
Copy !req
337. - I will not be hunted.
- We are not hunting you.
Copy !req
338. - You are the Alucard.
- The what?
Copy !req
339. We need your help.
Copy !req
340. With an arrow in my back.
Copy !req
341. He was going to cover me.
I was going to come out to talk to you.
Copy !req
342. Really?
Copy !req
343. We have come a long way.
Please, I need to know if he's all right.
Copy !req
344. If I wanted him dead,
I would have aimed higher.
Copy !req
345. If he wants to continue living,
Copy !req
346. he should stop right there.
Copy !req
347. Please leave her alone!
Copy !req
348. You are the Alucard,
and we do need your help.
Copy !req
349. I am not "the" anything.
Copy !req
350. Adrian Tepes. The Alucard.
Copy !req
351. - The anti-Dracula.
- Just Alucard.
Copy !req
352. Who are you?
Copy !req
353. I am Sumi. This is Taka.
Copy !req
354. We hunt vampires.
Copy !req
355. Not you. Real vampires.
Copy !req
356. The pursuit of our target
became the pursuit of the castle,
Copy !req
357. and we only discovered yesterday
that you live in it.
Copy !req
358. I didn't notice you yesterday.
You're better than I thought.
Copy !req
359. Who was your quarry?
Copy !req
360. Her name is Cho.
Copy !req
361. We were slaves to her court in Japan.
Copy !req
362. She left to become a general
in Dracula's war.
Copy !req
363. We were able to escape her court
in that time.
Copy !req
364. We followed her here.
We learned to track the castle.
Copy !req
365. If she was in the castle with Dracula,
then she died at Braila.
Copy !req
366. Yes. But she's not the only vampire
in Japan.
Copy !req
367. We need more knowledge than we have
to fight them.
Copy !req
368. We were looking for the castle.
We had no idea how to find you.
Copy !req
369. Ignoring for the moment the fact
that I think you smashed all my ribs,
Copy !req
370. this is a good day for us.
Copy !req
371. Alucard...
Copy !req
372. will you teach us?
Copy !req
373. - Teach you?
- We are alone in this world,
Copy !req
374. and we do not have enough
power or knowledge
Copy !req
375. to free our people of the vampire.
Copy !req
376. You know things,
Copy !req
377. and you have a knowledge famously
contained within Dracula's castle.
Copy !req
378. Will you teach us how to fight
for the freedom of others?
Copy !req
379. - Alone.
- That's right.
Copy !req
380. Follow me.
Copy !req
381. Do you know where you are?
Copy !req
382. Not really.
Copy !req
383. That is Dracula's castle.
Copy !req
384. That's my castle.
Copy !req
385. My father is dead.
Copy !req
386. Dracula is dead?
Copy !req
387. Yes.
Copy !req
388. By my hand.
And the hand of a Speaker.
Copy !req
389. And the hand of the last of the Belmonts.
Copy !req
390. Under our feet is the Belmont Hold,
Copy !req
391. repository of all their knowledge.
Copy !req
392. And there is my castle,
containing all my father's knowledge.
Copy !req
393. And up here is all of mine.
Copy !req
394. You want to learn how to fight vampires
and save your people?
Copy !req
395. More than anything.
Copy !req
396. It will be hard.
Copy !req
397. You will have to unlearn
much of what you know about the world
Copy !req
398. and take on more than you ever imagined.
Copy !req
399. I'm not going to start this,
Copy !req
