Romania.
For years, the Ottoman Turks
have occupied my country,
enslaving
the Romanian people.
Collaborating with the Turks
are traitorous Romanian nobles,
a privileged class of men
who seek profit
at the expense
Hungary, fearing further
Turk aggression, has raised an army
the Sultan's forces out.
Our commander
Prince Vlad Dracula,
feared by his enemies,
who know him as "Vlad Tsepesh,"-
Vlad the Impaler-
yet beloved
by his own people.
And he has returned
to battle the Turks
who support them.
Hurry up!
Vlad Tsepesh is coming!
Hurry up!
Vlad Tsepesh is coming!
Hurry up, hurry up!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
God damn it!
You are a traitor
to your people.
And a thief.
I...
I didn't.
These are now yours.
Noooo!
Nooo!
Nooo!
Noooo!
I've sent you messages.
You've disregarded them.
Father Stefan,
I am fighting a war.
We shall see.
when you die they will drive
as one of the godless.
And neither your son,
nor his sons nor his sons,
will ever be accepted as
Prince of Romania by the people.
Thus, I recommend a morsel
of humility with the Church.
You've never met
these men before.
They only know you by reputation,
as Vlad Tsepesh or The Impaler.
You must tell your story
honestly and completely,
if you expect absolution
from the Orthodox Church.
But I don't expect it.
They know the Pope
helped finance this campaign.
I am fighting to free
their country from Turk tyranny!
not question my methods
or allegiances!
Prince Vlad Dracula,
having performed
many cruel and unspeakable deeds,
is charged with conspiring and
colluding with the Papacy in Rome
and of abandoning
the eternal world of Orthodoxy.
In converting his own faith-
to join into matrimony
he has forsaken the truth
and the light
and accepted darkness.
My views on
are no secret.
The Pope and the Sultan
stink alike.
Vlad Dracula,
in the event of your death,
would you want
your son to succeed you?
Of course.
Then he will need our protection,
not the Pope's.
For without our blessing,
he'll never become
Prince of Romania.
And your dynasty will end.
We have questions
that you will answer.
Where were you born?
My father's house...
Castle Dracul,
in the region of Transylvania.
We are
particularly interested
in the circumstances
of your birth.
Vlad:
I knowwhat you are implying.
You needn't waste your time.
I've heard the folk tales.
Who first told you these stories?
Your mother?
Hardly. My mother died offever
when I was two.
And your father?
My father was
in charge of my education.
If I was destined
to be the Anti-Christ
I'm sure
I could do no wrong
in my father's eyes.
Good, Vlad.
It was not the same with
my brother Radu, however.
Come on, Radu!
Come on!
Fight! Be a man!
Come on, Radu!
You are not a baby anymore!
Finish him, Vlad.
Finish him!
One day, my father
gave me his ring
that commemorated his induction
into the Order of the Dragon.
Wear this always.
It will keep you from harm.
If anything ever happens to me,
see King Janos in Hungary.
He is a friend.
Why did your father assume
something might happen to him?
The Turkish Sultan
was demanding his yearly tribute.
and 500 young boys.
As Prince of Romania,
my father was refusing.
He was leaving for Tirgoviste
to meet with our country's nobles,
