1. Whoever left here left in a hurry.
Copy !req
2. A little light?
Copy !req
3. Speaking of leaving in a hurry,
Copy !req
4. you really wanted to get away from Zamfir.
Copy !req
5. Sit down.
Copy !req
6. Comfy bed.
Copy !req
7. Is this why you wanted us to be alone?
Copy !req
8. Hmm?
Copy !req
9. I wanted to get away from everyone else
for five fucking minutes.
Copy !req
10. All we've been doing for weeks
is reacting,
Copy !req
11. being bounced from one thing to the next.
Copy !req
12. And we do best when we've got time
to think and talk things over.
Copy !req
13. I'm glad you think so.
Copy !req
14. I'm not completely stupid.
Copy !req
15. I'm glad you think so.
Copy !req
16. Ha ha. Very funny.
Copy !req
17. Listen, we need to stop reacting
and start acting.
Copy !req
18. If I'm gonna get killed,
I'd rather choose it
Copy !req
19. than get tricked into it by someone else.
Copy !req
20. All right.
Copy !req
21. Where would you like to start?
Copy !req
22. At the beginning,
Copy !req
23. before we find ourselves
backed into the end.
Copy !req
24. You sent me a letter?
Copy !req
25. Yes.
Copy !req
26. Welcome to Danesti.
Copy !req
27. I presume it's seen better days.
Copy !req
28. Quieter ones.
Copy !req
29. I'm Greta, the village headwoman.
Copy !req
30. Call me Alucard.
Copy !req
31. No "The."
Copy !req
32. Did Marius...
Copy !req
33. Was that your rider?
Copy !req
34. I'm afraid not.
Copy !req
35. He was attacked en route
and bled out from his wounds.
Copy !req
36. His horse carried him the rest of the way
with your message in his hand.
Copy !req
37. Oh.
Copy !req
38. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
39. Well, he's not the only one we've lost.
Copy !req
40. But he was the last of his family,
which is why he risked the journey.
Copy !req
41. Still, I'd hoped...
Copy !req
42. That's what hoping gets you, I suppose.
Copy !req
43. I have a lot more people to save, Alucard.
Copy !req
44. Get some rest, everybody, while you can.
Copy !req
45. How long have you been under attack?
Copy !req
46. Four days.
Copy !req
47. First it was just one of those bastards.
Copy !req
48. More every night.
Copy !req
49. We barely made it through last night.
Copy !req
50. We're lucky only a third of us are dead.
Copy !req
51. Will you help us?
Copy !req
52. I'm sure I can do something for you.
Copy !req
53. I'm not interested in magic tricks
and one fight.
Copy !req
54. These people are under my care.
Copy !req
55. Will you stay and defend them
for as long as it takes?
Copy !req
56. - I said—
- You have to understand.
Copy !req
57. I don't know you.
Copy !req
58. You've been 20-odd miles away
for months.
Copy !req
59. You creep around the forest.
Copy !req
60. You've got bodies on stakes
outside your weird castle.
Copy !req
61. You're obviously half-vampire,
and you stink of wine,
Copy !req
62. and you appear to me
to be at least half-crazy.
Copy !req
63. But you were the only possible advantage
I could think of.
Copy !req
64. I don't need to be impressed
by low-key swagger.
Copy !req
65. I need you to commit
to saving these people.
Copy !req
66. Because my life isn't worth living
if I can't save theirs.
Copy !req
67. All done?
Copy !req
68. Did it work?
Copy !req
69. Yes.
Copy !req
70. Then I'm all done.
Copy !req
71. Thank you.
Copy !req
72. And that was one hell of an entrance.
Copy !req
73. Yes, indeed so.
Copy !req
74. You really are
a very impressive young man.
Copy !req
75. Sickening violence isn't especially
in my skill set, you understand,
Copy !req
76. but I can recognize a fellow expert,
no matter what the field.
Copy !req
77. Oh, God. This one.
Copy !req
78. You would be Adrian Tepes, yes?
Copy !req
79. Yes.
Copy !req
80. Do allow me to present myself.
Copy !req
81. I am the Count Saint Germain,
Copy !req
82. scholar in residence
to many of the great courts of Europe.
Copy !req
83. Why are you cowering
in a latrine hut in Wallachia?
Copy !req
84. Oh. Is this a latrine?
Copy !req
85. I just—I just thought
someone had gotten very scared.
Copy !req
86. I'm traveling, sir.
Copy !req
87. Interesting times in Wallachia.
Copy !req
88. I felt that a man of letters
should bear witness.
Copy !req
89. And are you enjoying your tourism so far?
Copy !req
90. Um...
Copy !req
91. it has been, um...
Copy !req
92. enlightening.
Copy !req
93. Saint Germain, Your Majesty,
Copy !req
94. occultist, scribe, and counsel
to the great courts of Europe.
Copy !req
95. Saint Germain, Your Imperial Majesty,
Copy !req
96. astrologist, intelligencer,
and—and scholar.
Copy !req
97. Saint Germain, Your Royal Highness,
Copy !req
98. soothsayer, prophet,
and practitioner of the dark arts.
Copy !req
99. Saint Germain, Your Grace,
Copy !req
100. librarian, scribe, and scholar.
Copy !req
101. Saint Germain,
Copy !req
102. your humble servant in, um...
Copy !req
103. whatever you may need.
Copy !req
104. Oh.
Copy !req
105. Do not grope for a person like that,
you rude little clump of frog shit.
Copy !req
106. Ah.
Copy !req
107. Uh, Saint Germain.
Copy !req
108. Swift violence is not my forte, but I
certainly recognize and admire an expert.
Copy !req
109. The sheer breadth
of your travels is incredible.
Copy !req
110. I'm frankly amazed you ever bothered
coming back to this shit hole,
Copy !req
111. and delighted.
Copy !req
112. I needed the money, but I also wanted
to pick through the library here.
Copy !req
113. I understood there was a volume
Copy !req
114. regarding a place
called the Infinite Corridor,
Copy !req
115. but I can't find the damned thing.
Copy !req
116. This is it.
Copy !req
117. This is the book.
Copy !req
118. And, yes, offering us
the journey of a lifetime.
Copy !req
119. If you really want to do this...
Copy !req
120. then that is what we will do.
Copy !req
121. Anything for you.
Copy !req
122. Take my hand!
Copy !req
123. Please!
Copy !req
124. The Infinite Corridor
is a route to many other worlds.
Copy !req
125. It is in fact a system of doors
to other lands,
Copy !req
126. separated from our own
by space and time.
Copy !req
127. A long time ago,
I lost someone very dear to me...
Copy !req
128. in the Infinite Corridor.
Copy !req
129. And I have been looking
for a way back in ever since.
Copy !req
130. Portals to the Corridor
are few and far between,
Copy !req
131. and they drift in and out of existence.
Copy !req
132. I'm closing the Corridor!
Copy !req
133. Get out now!
Copy !req
134. Thank you!
Copy !req
135. Thank you both!
Copy !req
136. I'll see you again!
Copy !req
137. No! No! No!
Copy !req
138. Where is it?
Copy !req
139. I know it's here!
Copy !req
140. I just—I have no control!
Copy !req
141. Why can't I control this?
Copy !req
142. Ah!
Copy !req
143. I made it back!
Copy !req
144. Shout so I can find you!
Copy !req
145. Whoa!
Copy !req
146. Ah. It's me!
Copy !req
147. Hello, you.
Copy !req
148. Your friend has recently moved on
to another sphere within the Corridor.
Copy !req
149. I am sorry.
Copy !req
150. But wh-where did she go?
Copy !req
151. I cannot be certain.
Copy !req
152. I have not looked for her...
Copy !req
153. Saint Germain.
Copy !req
154. You know me?
Copy !req
155. I know much.
Copy !req
156. I'm an alchemist.
Copy !req
157. So am I.
Copy !req
158. No.
Copy !req
159. Not really.
Copy !req
160. You fell by the wayside long ago.
Copy !req
161. Well, I've been...
Copy !req
162. busy, but I still believe
in the goals of the path.
Copy !req
163. Believe in?
Copy !req
164. Not committed to?
Copy !req
165. Well, life tends to mitigate
against complete commitment, doesn't it?
Copy !req
166. Wh-where is she?
Copy !req
167. And so you find yourself here.
Copy !req
168. With no power, no control...
Copy !req
169. and no way forward.
Copy !req
170. It's impossible to control the Corridor.
Copy !req
171. Where is she?
Copy !req
172. No, it's not.
Copy !req
173. You know it's not.
Copy !req
174. You've witnessed it being controlled.
Copy !req
175. Yeah, by a monster who had dozens of
people killed to use their souls as fuel.
Copy !req
176. So don't say it's impossible to control.
Copy !req
177. I am not a mass murderer.
Copy !req
178. Where is she, damn it?
Copy !req
179. Saint Germain...
Copy !req
180. what is the true goal of alchemy?
Copy !req
181. Do you remember?
Copy !req
182. Or have you left the path entirely?
Copy !req
183. The magnum opus, the great work,
reconciling the chaos of the world.
Copy !req
184. And what is the result of the great work?
Copy !req
185. The Rebus,
the putrefied and purified fusion
Copy !req
186. of matter and spirit in a body
both male and female.
Copy !req
187. Is this a test?
Copy !req
188. Two bodies into one, Saint Germain.
Copy !req
189. Two souls.
Copy !req
190. You're not serious.
Copy !req
191. Do I not look serious?
Copy !req
192. You're claiming that the final victory
of the alchemical process
Copy !req
193. is using a Rebus
to control the Infinite Corridor.
Copy !req
194. Here I am.
Copy !req
195. Show me your damned Rebus, then.
Copy !req
196. My Rebus cannot be looked upon.
Copy !req
197. It is a creature of order and chaos,
Copy !req
198. of natural humanity
and supernatural horror,
Copy !req
199. purified by fire and sent to rot in Hell.
Copy !req
200. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Copy !req
201. I hope not.
Copy !req
202. You understand.
Copy !req
203. You understand what your alchemy
must summon, don't you?
Copy !req
204. You mean "who," don't you?
Copy !req
205. Who I must summon, bind,
and fuse into one?
Copy !req
206. Only then will you be able
to travel the Corridor with power.
Copy !req
207. I will show you this.
Copy !req
208. This is charged with many deaths.
Copy !req
209. It will open the Corridor
wherever you choose.
Copy !req
210. If I take this, then I leave you
stranded in the Corridor.
Copy !req
211. I travel the Corridor
with complete control.
Copy !req
212. I dance through a hundred different
universes every year like a goddess.
Copy !req
213. Why would I ever want to leave?
Copy !req
214. Thank you.
Copy !req
215. You are welcome.
Copy !req
216. This is useless to you unless you
commit to the work of alchemy
Copy !req
217. and do what needs to be done.
Copy !req
218. Couldn't you just help me find her?
Copy !req
219. I've helped you as much as I can.
Copy !req
220. What remains is your task, not mine.
Copy !req
221. Commit.
Copy !req
222. I will.
Copy !req
223. I am committed. I'm here, aren't I?
Copy !req
224. You must sacrifice.
Copy !req
225. I have.
Copy !req
226. No!
Copy !req
227. You have lost something.
Copy !req
228. That is not the same.
Copy !req
229. Bloody feels like it.
Copy !req
230. You must sacrifice, give willingly.
Copy !req
231. Give what? What's left?
Copy !req
232. Everything.
Copy !req
233. Sacrifice your ethics, your morals.
Copy !req
234. Sacrifice your soul to the task.
Copy !req
235. You must give everything to it, and you
must cause pain in the doing of it.
Copy !req
236. Do you love her enough to do that...
Copy !req
237. Saint Germain?
Copy !req
238. I'll do anything...
Copy !req
239. anything to be able
to actually tell her...
Copy !req
240. that I love her.
Copy !req
241. Just give it to me!
Copy !req
242. Oh, God!
Copy !req
243. Oh, God.
Copy !req
244. Wh-wh-why didn't you just—
Copy !req
245. wh-why couldn't you just help me?
Copy !req
246. Oh, God, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
247. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
248. I didn't mean to. I—
Copy !req
249. Why couldn't you help me?
Copy !req
250. Why won't anyone just fucking help me?
Copy !req
251. - And now look at you.
Copy !req
252. Uh, now...
Copy !req
253. look at me.
Copy !req
254. That was indeed the most suave tale
about sexual congress with livestock
Copy !req
255. that I've ever heard in these parts,
Copy !req
256. but before you lift your stinking jar
to your stinking jaws,
Copy !req
257. you will now tell me, what was
the final location of Dracula's castle?
Copy !req
258. Would you be the famous Saint Germain?
Copy !req
259. I have that pleasure.
Copy !req
260. And you would be...
Copy !req
261. Varney of London, sir.
Copy !req
262. Friends of friends tell me
we have a project in common.
Copy !req
263. And what might that be,
Varney of Lundenwic,
Copy !req
264. thousand-year-old
vampire beggar and tramp?
Copy !req
265. You've heard of me.
Copy !req
266. Generations of the learned
Copy !req
267. have written of detecting you
from a thousand paces by your stench.
Copy !req
268. I say again...
Copy !req
269. what project?
Copy !req
270. Returning Dracula to this world.
Copy !req
271. And that's everything.
Copy !req
272. Strict adherence to the plan is crucial.
Copy !req
273. Ah.
Copy !req
274. But what if—
and hear me out, Saint Germain—
Copy !req
275. what if I just killed you here,
Copy !req
276. drank all your blood,
and did your plan myself?
Copy !req
277. Oh, Dragan, feared Dragan,
Copy !req
278. storied Dragan of a hundred ambushes
and a thousand dead...
Copy !req
279. yeah, you could
absolutely kill me right here,
Copy !req
280. but you cannot enact my plan,
Copy !req
281. because you don't have
the skills or the wit.
Copy !req
282. - Shut up.
Copy !req
283. You sound like a cow farting.
Copy !req
284. Do you want
your precious Dracula back or not?
Copy !req
285. Yes.
Copy !req
286. Then get back in your fucking pram.
Copy !req
287. You can't do this without me.
Copy !req
288. Obey my instructions.
Copy !req
289. I will kill you.
Copy !req
290. Do as you're fucking told!
Copy !req
291. Drive them all towards Danesti.
Copy !req
292. I'll do the rest.
Copy !req
293. You can kill me afterwards.
Copy !req
294. Ah, yes. Remember the drill, old boy.
Copy !req
295. "Charming place. Weary traveler.
Copy !req
296. "Many coins.
Just a simple place to sleep."
Copy !req
297. It'll all be over soon enough.
Copy !req
298. What a damned shame.
Copy !req
299. All these little lives.
Copy !req
300. Straighten up, man.
Copy !req
301. They all have lives.
Copy !req
302. You have nothing.
Copy !req
303. Is that fair?
Copy !req
304. Can you hear that?
Copy !req
305. I hear nothing.
Copy !req
306. Me, neither.
Copy !req
307. Something's coming.
Copy !req
308. Someone brought
your stupid bloody horse back.
Copy !req
309. That's a good horse.
Copy !req
310. She's very good, isn't she?
Copy !req
311. It's a shame.
Copy !req
312. What is?
Copy !req
313. Well, such a talent
with the common people,
Copy !req
314. but it's wasted out here, don't you think?
Copy !req
315. I think she's probably
right where she's supposed to be.
Copy !req
316. They're from Lasa,
a village about ten miles away.
Copy !req
317. They've been walking for hours.
Copy !req
318. They were attacked, too?
Copy !req
319. Their village was put to the torch.
Copy !req
320. They they're not the only ones.
Copy !req
321. This group includes refugees
from five other villages in the region.
Copy !req
322. I see.
Copy !req
323. They escaped.
Copy !req
324. They survived.
Copy !req
325. They lost many people to vampire
and night creature feeding attacks.
Copy !req
326. Interesting. Why would they
be burning the villages, though?
Copy !req
327. If vampires are involved,
Copy !req
328. this isn't the blind destruction
we're all used to with night creatures.
Copy !req
329. They're conducting feeding
to sustain them through continued battle.
Copy !req
330. They're removing shelter
and the possibility of aid and witnesses.
Copy !req
331. This is troubling in its complexity.
Copy !req
332. I am of course not a military man,
Copy !req
333. although I have certainly advised
generals and kings,
Copy !req
334. but might I suggest that this village
is inherently indefensible?
Copy !req
335. It hasn't worked out well, so far, has it?
Copy !req
336. You may have a point, Saint Germain.
Copy !req
337. Perhaps, just until we all
find out what's going on,
Copy !req
338. perhaps the remaining persons
in your charge
Copy !req
339. might be moved to a more
secure location, like, um...
Copy !req
340. y-your castle...
Copy !req
341. possibly.
Copy !req
342. And God shits in my dinner once again.
Copy !req
343. Oh, no.
Copy !req
344. I really am turning into Belmont.
Copy !req
345. Is life even worth living now?
Copy !req
346. Frederator!
Copy !req
