I finally reached my destination...

...the castle of Count Dracula.

I had a bad dream,

but I hope it will pass.

This castle is so strange.

At times I wonder if it isn't

part of that dream.

Everything about

it looks so unreal.

I don't attach importance to the

sunshine anymore...

...or to glittering fountains,

which youth is so fond of.

I love the darkness

and the shadows.

Where I can be alone

with my thoughts.

I am the descendent

of an old family.

Time is an abyss, profound as

a thousand nights.

Centuries come and go...

...to be unable to grow old is terrible.

That is not the worst. There are

things more horrible than that.

Can you imagine enduring centuries...

...experiencing the same futility

each day?

I'm glad you found such a large

old house for me.

Very near your lodging,

I understand.

Yes, it's just around the corner.

Ah...

...may I have a look

at the contract?

What?...

What a lovely throat.

It's my wife, Lucy.

Your hand.

Your hand is so cold.

The document... the contract for

the house, I must sign it immediately.

Yes, but we haven't

settled on a price.

It doesn't matter

between gentlemen...

...I accept whatever

you find just.

How long did it take you

to get here from Wismar?

Four weeks.

I...

...it takes a while

to travel on land.

From the seed of Belial is the

vampire born.

He who feeds on the

blood of mankind...

...who, unredeemed, taketh

his refuge in caves, tombs...

...coffins filled with the

unblessed soil of cemeteries...

...wherein the black death

has reaped its harvest...

...the plague.

Jonathan!

She has a sudden fever.

Her pulse is too fast.

She needs to rest.

Call me if you think

it is necessary...

...but I don't think

it's something serious.

Oh, God, he must

be going to Wismar.

Lucy...

Lucy's in danger.

I've got to get out of here.

It's strange...

...but the papers

are all in order.

Let me see them...

From Varna to Wismar.

Garden soil for

botanical experiments.

Open one of them.

I want to make sure.

This one.

Mother Superior...

stop the black coffins.

The patient who came yesterday

had a seizure.

Which one?

The one who had bitten a cow.

Oh, yes.

We put him in isolation.

I'll go with you.

Blood is life.

Blood is life.

Has he done it for long?

He has, and he also refuses food.

Blood is life.

Let's go.

Help! Help me!

Be quiet...

I hear the sounds of sails

fluttering in the wind.

Still, there's no letter from him.

But, don't worry, Lucy...

The mail from Transylvania

is very slow.

Something has happened

to Jonathan.

Have courage, Lucy. God is

listening to our prayers.

God is far away

when we need him.

Young man. You're not yet well.
