life of Sofia, and your life

as well.

Our lives are

intertwined, Zachary.

Drink blood with me.

You heard the prophecy.

It is I who will prevail.

You are a pitiful creature.

You lust for blood, but your

heart cries out for mercy.

You deny your predatory nature.

I despise it, Ash,

but I do not deny it.

I am spawned from your

own cursed bloodline.

Who is your master?

I killed my master.

Let us strike a

bargain, Zachary,

in our mutual best interests.

I will give you sanctuary,

a willing consort

to feast upon this one night.

Tomorrow, you must leave

here and never look back.

If you agree to that,

I'll let you see Sofia.

All right.

I agree.

This is the largest underground

stronghold in Eastern Europe.

80 feet beneath the

city are labyrinth caves

with a dozen secret exits.

It was renovated

in the 18th century

by my predecessor and

master, Radu of Transylvania.

Here, we are free to pursue

our predilections with mortals

who appreciate the

pleasures of our gifts.

ZACHARY NARRATING: I followed

him into the heart of his lair.

He held me in his thrall.

Sofia was somewhere

close at hand,

but I was powerless

to act against him.

Drink without shame, Zachary.

She is a willing partner.

I leave you in peace.

Who is this stranger?

Why is he so sad?

He yearns for redemption,

but there is none.

Leave him be.

He is my plaything.

Kiss me.

I warn you, child.

Stand away from me.

Drink from me.

Take what you desire.

But please, spare my life.

Run from me, child.

I have no wish to

violate your flesh.

No.

Run from me!

Now!

Let me go, or I swear

to God I'll kill you.

Please, don't hurt me.

I have no wish to hurt you.

I offer you deliverance

from your pain.

My friends know I'm here.

They'll come looking for me.

I would welcome the diversion.

Sofia, to live forever is

life's most precious gift.

A priceless opportunity

to perfect your art

through the centuries.

Accept me as your

master, and you

will be an avatar

of the music world.

No!

Iris, I require more incense.

Then you shall

have it, Dimitri.

Ash, I must speak

with you at once.

Why do you disturb me?

Anton and Walter are

plotting to leave the country.

Where are they now?

Walter's in the brothel.

Anton's in his lair.

Tell Anton to meet me

above, and bring Walter

to us immediately.

You are my child, Anton.

My life blood courses

through your veins.

What compels you to defy me?

No, no, no.

Everything is taken

care of, Master.

Walter will make the

transfer immediately.

What reason is there to deceive

me when all that I possess,

all my comforts and

protections, are yours to share?

Have I not given you

all that I vowed?
