You understand? They are the undead.

The undead? Undead?!

[Creaking]

[Footstep, creaking]

SIMON:
F***.

I'm sorry, man. I just don't know what's wrong with me.

Aah!

[Gun clicking]

[Nightshade gagging]

I said I was sorry.

[Body falls]

Matthew!

[Rustling]

[Whispering] All right.

Aah!

Unh!

It's better than money.

You're the one who had a thing for my girl.

MARCUS:
Boy, have I got something for you.

Sorry, sport. I'm an atheist.

Huh?

God loves you anyway.

Aah!

[Crying]

Please, Mr. Van Helsing.

SOLINA:
Please.

Don't.

Please.

Grr!

Hi.

Oh, ah...

you know why you never had me, Simon?

'Cause you Brits like to sweet-talk...

and you Brits like to romance...

and all I want to do is suck.

VAN HELSING:
Finish her, Simon.

[Sirens]

VAN HELSING:
Finish her now! Now!

Go ahead. Cut me.

Won't you have a lot to explain?

[Cars squeal to a stop]

What just happened in there?

I told you to kill her!

They can be killed by silver, by sunlight, by stakes.

VAN HELSING:
You must pierce their heart or behead them.

They are Nosferatu--vampires.

And you knew this?

And you're all right with this?

I had them destroyed, eradicated...

all but one-- my secret in the abbey.

He is what they stole.

- Who?

- Dracula.

Dracula...not myth...

no ravings of a mad Irish novelist. Oh, no.

He's real, I assure you.

This is the f***ing Twilight Zone.

VAN HELSING:
No, no! Wait!

[Coughing] Wait.

He was the first. Dracula was the first--

the Adam, the patient zero.

VAN HELSING:
But unlike those he infected,

he cannot be killed.

There's no way that I know.

What do you mean, can't?

VAN HELSING:
For each act that destroys a vampire...

he survives. There has to be a way.

I spent my whole life searching for a way to kill him.

VAN HELSING:
He is, quite simply...

beyond the reach of death, but why?

That is the question that has plagued me...

for over a century.

Who is this creature that walks as a man...

yet casts no reflection?

[Growling]

VAN HELSING:
I made a promise a long time ago...

that if Dracula could not die, then nor would I.

I would be his keeper...

for as long as it took to uncover his secret...

to know who he really is...

and somehow find a way to end him.

I used his blood...

filtered through leeches to stay alive...

but I never found the answer, Simon.

Only this--he hates God.

He is repulsed by all things Christian...

but these things do not kill him. No.

They only fill him with a rage that makes him even stronger.

VAN HELSING:
Now you know.

No. You judge me as you see fit...

VAN HELSING:
but right now we must stop him...

before he gets what he came for.

But he's here by accident. The crash.
