ZACHARY NARRATING:

How many years

had passed since that

night I lost Rebecca?

And yet, the grief

still burned in my soul.

How many countries had I

crossed in my quest for revenge?

How many vampires had I slain?

And how many countless more

were spawned in that time?

For me, there is no answer,

no comfort, no rest.

The trail of blood

led me back again

to Eastern Europe in search

of Ash, the music lover.

ZACHARY NARRATING: Vampires are

the spawn of many bloodlines.

Some are monstrous

creatures forced

to hide their

faces from society.

Others are beings of

age-old grace walking freely

through the world of mortals.

[MUSIC - FRANZ LISZT,

"PIANO CONCERTO NO.

ZACHARY NARRATING: The music

filled my heart with rapture,

until my senses rose

to the scent of evil.

Ash was close at hand.

He was a master

vampire with powers

evolved over

countless centuries.

[MUSIC - FRANZ LISZT,

"PIANO CONCERTO NO.

ZACHARY NARRATING: He

reached into my eyes

and forced me to look away.

He was mesmerized by the

girl who played piano.

You can dance

next time on stage.

I won't mind.

Really?

Yeah.

Sofia.

Yes?

Please accept this small

token of my admiration.

It's beautiful.

Thank you.

Ow.

If I may be so bold.

Please, you must pay us a

visit some evening as my guest.

Thank you.

Maybe sometime soon.

Whenever you wish.

I'm a patient man.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

G... good night.

Good night.

He's weird.

This evening was great.

Yeah.

Thanks for coming.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Yeah.

It is our pleasure, you know?

I'll see you tomorrow.

OK.

Bye.

OK.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Bye.

ZACHARY NARRATING:

A master vampire

is invulnerable to

surprise attack,

except in the moments

when its bloodlust rises

and its senses are utterly

focused on its prey.

His senses were

focused on the girl.

It seemed a good time to

separate him from his neck.

Let me go!

It's all right.

You're safe now.

ZACHARY NARRATING:

In the last moment,

I chose her life

over the life of Ash.

It was a moment of weakness

I shall forever regret.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

ZACHARY (OFFSCREEN):

He's gone now.

Well, this is perfect.

First night on stage,

I attract a stalker.

He gave you something

else, I believe.

His calling card?

Oh, yeah.

This.

"Club Muse"?

Why are you so curious?

What do you know about him?

Only that he seems to be

a great admirer of yours.

I'll walk you home, if I may.

Definitely.

Please, I'd appreciate that.

How was the concert?

The repertoire was sublime.

The concert was

mediocre at best,

except for the new

pianist, Sofia.

She has the gift.

How was the concert, Master?

Sublime, Cassandra.

I would like to attend

the symphony sometime.

Someday, perhaps,

we shall go together.

But leave us now.

Anything of interest?

The general is back again.

He's become enamored

with Angelica.

That could be amusing.

Anton knows you are

displeased with him.

He asked to speak with you.

I pray the fates

are smiling tonight.

Please, enjoy the night.

Drinks on the house.

Fetch me Anton.

You're American.

Yeah.

You?

I come from many countries.

Oh, really?

How's that?

I travel the world.

Doing what?

A sort of personal quest.

Oh.

That's cool.

I love this city.

It's so elegantly decayed.

It's one of the so-called

cities of mysteries.

Cities of mysteries?

I've never heard of that.

It's a city where

the ways of antiquity

exist in league with

the modern world.

Well, here's my place.

Thanks for everything.

I don't have a telephone,

but if you ever

want to have a cup of

coffee or something,

you know where to find me.

You must be careful here.

Don't walk alone at night.

Lock your doors and windows.

Please.

Hey, come on, Zachary.

You're scaring me.

I lived in New York.

I can take care of myself.

As you wish.

Good night.

Good night.

And thanks.

For nothing.

ZACHARY NARRATING: I had

seen the look in Ash's eye.

I had seen the same look

in a thousand others.

He'd be back to claim his prey.

The game had just begun.

I took it upon myself to

watch over her 'til the dawn.

ASH (OFFSCREEN):
You

disappoint me, Anton.

Why, Ash?

What have I done?

We struck a bargain,

you and I. Immortality

and sanctuary in exchange

for half your worldly goods.

How dare you withhold a

portion of your wealth from me.

Ash, I swear to you.

I give you sanctuary,

blood to sustain you.

We share the sacred mysteries.

And you repay me with

such uninspired larceny?

Please, Ash.

That money is for my children.

You are the child now,

Anton, and I am the father.

I will rip your

children to pieces

if you dare to betray me.

No, Ash.

Please, spare my children.

I will do anything you ask.

You have scarcely begun

your passage into mastery.

You cannot survive without me.

One more chance, I beg of you.

You have two days to

correct this insult.

Iris will contact your

attorney tomorrow.

Thank you, Ash.

I'll call Walter tonight.

It will be taken care of.

I surprised you, Master.

Cassandra, your game

is a dangerous one.

Lie with me tonight.

Let me satisfy your cravings.

You distract me

with your sensuality.

Leave me to my meditations.

Ash, come quickly.

The general's had a problem.

It was an accident!

It was an accident!

Bastard!

You killed her!

I saw him!

THE GENERAL (OFFSCREEN):

It's not my fault!

General, relax.
