Karl...

Karl, come to me

I want to see the nonsense these fools are up to

Yet you're not interested in anything I do

They are doing the horse test

What did you say?

Nothing

- What test did you say? - Of the horse

A young boy and a horse, both virgins

They hope to find a vampire's tomb

The blood is fresh!

Can you fill this with his blood for me

There's an order not to touch the corpse

I'll collect it at dawn

Irina, Irina!

- Coming! - My lady is waiting

Why are you here? You know I don't like visits

Sorry

It's bread against vampires

Irina got blood of the one they staked yesterday

She promised to give me a piece

Did you do three crosses before kneading?

Smear your fingers with ash?

- No, I thought... - Go on, get out!

You'd get nothing right if it wasn't for me

You, get the ashes

Get off me you idiot

Marina, you don't have to be like this

Let's see what my father thinks

Fran, the magistrate's luggage, quickly!

How far is the town of Cajlice?

You're going to Cajlice?

It's 4 hours by horse

Best you leave tomorrow at dawn

It will soon be night

And there is much talk of vampires and ghosts

It's for the trial of a vampire that I go there

I would like to know some background

I can give you the background, Helsing

You are Helsing, the magistrate?

Senor Marquis, I welcome you to my humble house

I bet you have some good wine hidden away, you rogue

Yes, of course sir

You must be Karl Ziemmer, master of Cajlice

I guess I must ask you to what I owe the honor

To boredom

I'm bored by Cajlice and its louts

I jump at any chance to meet interesting guests

Thank you, but I'm not sure if that's me

I have ordered my carriage to meet us tomorrow at dawn

I hope I'm not wrong

Take the magistrate's bags to his room

and prepare one for me

- I'll not need that horse now - As you wish, sir

What you will need is much patience

to handle those vampires

They smell very bad, I assure you

I'm getting old, nurse

How could you ever be old

My skin is no longer as white as before

Time passes for all of us, even the rich and the powerful

It can only be beaten by taking risks

And it takes much courage to go down the dark roads

that the occult offers us

It is much easier to accept that death,

little by little, takes us over

But to live, you need to take risks

What sort of risks?

You know in your family there was another Erzebeth?

- She bathed in the blood of virgins - Yes, I know

Nobody wants to talk of that story

But it's true

- Was she beautiful? - So they say

Among the most beautiful ever

But her beauty was useless, as she lived alone in her castle

Her husband stayed in the royal court

- I also live alone - You have Karl

No, not anymore. He is with me, but he is not mine

He prefers his hawks

How they kill and destroy their prey

I am alone

Maybe forever now

You can get him back if you want

Remember the other Erzebeth

Yes? Come in

My father said to bring you a new pillow

Thank you

Good night, sleep well

You too

Good night, daughter

Good night, father

What makes you tremble, Marina?

- Shut up, you bitch - Bring more wine, my pigeon

Don't try to fool this old woman

What do you need? A love potion?

Do you need it to snare this marquis?

Or does that color mean you don't you need it anymore?

I don't need a potion

Not for the marquis or any other man

It's my husband will show me the secrets of love

It's better to learn from a passing marquis with a full purse

Plenty of time to get bored by a peasant with no grace or fortune

If I had your youth...

he'd not leave without me knowing his refined caresses

You won't easily find such a man again, Marina,

believe me

When we get old,

we never regret what we have done,

only what was within our reach that we didn't do

You are the Devil in person

Oh, yes

Rub your hands together with this mixture

And get close to him on any pretext

He will be yours forever

What do I owe you?

Nothing

I'm just happy that you do what I want to do but cannot

- Sir? - What is it?

Come in

- I forgot to bring your water - Thanks, put it there

Shall I help you?

What's your name?

Marina, sir

Has your father told you to do this?

No, this was my idea, my parents are asleep

You are very pretty, Marina

- You really think so? - Yes, you are

- See you soon, you rogue - Thank you, sir

Did you go with that man?

Stay away from him, pigeon

He brings death with him

- But last night you said - I'd not seen his eyes last night

They are the Devil's eyes

Get back!

Gentlemen, gentlemen...!

I beg your attention and silence

Mr. Secretary, read the charges against Peter Plojovitz

and the accusations of vampirism this court must judge

If I may...

Peter Plojovitz, do you confess to having practiced vampirism,

abused your medical practice and violated natural laws?

Proceed to the interrogation of witnesses

I don't understand this trial, madam. Do they need more proof?

Those visits he made to people after death

And the smell... The vampire smell is unmistakable

And in the grave, when he was staked, he gave a terrible cry

- Stupid girl - I'm sorry, ma'am

Get me a cloth

No, a linen one

You never do anything right

Cheer up, friend

Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?

Yes, I do

And I swear that Dr. Plojovitz is a vampire

Until they burn his head and throw the ashes in the river,

we'll not sleep easy in this town

Save your opinions and give us the facts

How long must we listen to this fool?

Maybe he was buried alive for fear of spreading the plague?

- Did anyone here certify his death? - Silence!

Doctor, I beg you for restraint

He is a witness and as such, must be heard

In due course we will discuss the statements

The witness may step down

There's a stain

The skin has become lighter

I told you, the doctor knew the medallion was mine and asked for it

I gave it to him without asking anything in return

Along with a parchment in a language I don't know

And I warned him...

telling him clearly of the danger

What danger is that?

All who have worn that medallion, before a year is out,

have died an unnatural death

So how come you are still alive?

I never wore it

It's not right to tempt fate

Remember this, and I hope I am wrong,

this will not be the last victim of that cursed medallion

There's no trace of it left

It was just a small mark

Maybe you imagined it

My skin was turned white by Irina's blood

She, like the beautiful Erzebeth, knows how to use blood

The other day, I saw her rub dove's blood on her breasts

Fetch her

Maria Vasari, widow of Peter Plojovitz

Are you the wife of Dr. Peter Plojovitz?

I am his widow, Your Honor

- You recognize this corpse? - We know it's him

We don't want to make this situation any worse that it needs be

But this is necessary

Do you recognize the corpse of your husband, the accused?

Please madam, calm down

Do you recognize this corpse as that of your late husband?

The devil!

Nadja Plojovitz

2 days after visiting me, he came to Nadja

And what did he do?

He looked at me with a strange sadness

And what then?

He gave me a long kiss

But not like I was his daughter

- And then... - And then what?

He bit me hard on the neck

And began to suck blood from the wound!

Your own daughter, damn you. Your daughter!

She won't be safe until we finish him

I ask for justice

Is there no mercy for a poor innocent girl?

What more proof do you need?

You think this could attract new victims?

Do you feel any strange sense of mystery?

- I beg you, Marquis, no jokes - I'm not joking

You talk of evidence,

we should test if what they say is true

Fine, but how?

I shall keep the medallion,

wear it, and if it's true that I risk dying within a year,

I accept that risk

It's not wise to tempt the Devil

The Marquis offers us the chance of uprooting a superstition

Why should we stop him?

Let's talk further in my castle

This place is rather gloomy, don't you think?

Excellent meat, madam

I think the judge and the mayor made a serious mistake

declining the Marquis' invitation

Your Honor, I know this is a delicate subject,

but I must ask you a question

I'm at your service

Is a vampire a creature that has managed to cheat death?

And if so, is it due to the blood of its victims?

Sorry, I interrupted you

And I know that you want to answer my wife

We know the death of some beings, feeds the life of others

We see this every day in nature

Even ourselves, we feed on the death of plants and animals

In the case of the vampire, perhaps he's just a rebel

Not resigned to leave this world

A world he knows and understands

Indeed

And as Voltaire wrote:

Those who suck human blood are not the dead, but the living:

Speculators, usurers, those real life vampires

who don't live in cemeteries, but in luxurious palaces

- Like this one? - More or less, Excellency

Do you like rubies? The red stones repel vampires

You believe those stories about the walking dead?

We should respect tradition, doctor

One day science may explain many things

that today are seen as just simple superstitions

Then I will be happy to change my mind

I see my music has done its work

- Fine music - Thank you, but it's not mine

I'm sorry I kept you up,

but I have arranged everything here,

and hope you will be my guests

Thank you

Who's there?

Who is it?

What are you doing here? Answer me

Forgive us, sir

The mistress told us, well, she told me...

Inge is a friend

May she stay with me tonight in the palace?

What have you got there?

The blood of a dove, it firms the breasts

Take that

- And don't come up here again - No sir

Now go

Go on... get out

Swing it from right to left

Extraordinary events are coming

Go on, my little one

It's time to start the ceremony

Now that we have confirmed the guilt of the accused,

I ask representatives of the forces of order,

to announce the procedure to be used for execution of the sentence passed

With a dissenting vote from Dr. Silas

We follow the Olmutz Consistory

Cut off the defendant's head, burn it and scatter the ashes

Carry out the sentence. Take him away

Nothing

It was a dove in heat

It should be virgin's blood

Last time there was a white stain where the blood fell

The last time it was Irina's blood

The blood of a living woman

The corpse can be burned in the coffin

I must throw the ashes of the head into the river

Or I will never rest easy

As you wish

You must close the house, along with your husband's belongings

It's the law

How shall we live? I have no fortune

Maybe the town can make you a small loan against the land

If, after two years someone wants to buy the land...

Madame...

No one will buy cursed land

You should still find those title deeds

Without those, the municipality will not take the risk

Nadja...

Yes, mother?

Search your father's papers for the deeds of the property

Who are you?

Come in

Come closer

I'm sorry, I thought that...

Is this the parchment Carmilla gave your father?

Don't touch it, sir

Don't touch it, I beg you. It's cursed

Did you love your father very much?

Yes

And this wound?

Are you sure you didn't do it like this...

while you were asleep?

Please leave me, sir. I beg you

Leave me

Death to the vampire!

Your servant, madam

Have a good trip, Helsing

And you, Karl, good hunting

Those companions will be more exciting than lawyers

We all have our moments

See you soon, Helsing. At the next trial

You are incorrigible, Karl. See you soon

My lady

See you later, my dear

Have fun

Stay away, ma'am

These are the vampire's ashes

You stay away, this is my land

But we must throw the ashes in the river, ma'am

Use the other road

Laura, come here

Her mother is sick, my lady

She left her with me, I'm sorry

I'll make sure she does no harm

I told you not to come in here

- You can't catch me! - Laura! Stop it

Child, stop that

Leave her, she's so funny

Excuse her, she's only ever lived with poor people

- Would you like a present? - Yes

Well, hello... Have you already had a snack?

Or don't you like cake? No?

Come, let's find your present

Where is it?

Let's go see

- What is it? - Something nice

- You like? - Yes

Take it

What's this doll called?

Blanca... Nurse! Nurse!

- Don't cry - What is it, ma'am?

Who left broken glass there?

It's nothing, don't cry

Give her some coins to buy a dress with

I want to go home!

I want my mama

The main thing is, the test worked

I don't think so

Now we know a solution exists

- But we also know it's impossible - Why?

How can you ask that?

- How is it possible to get...? - The other Erzebeth did it

Why should you fail?

You just need to overcome your scruples

And with that I can help you a lot

- If only it were possible - But it is

The other day, I caught a lizard and said to myself:

Why not prepare a magical potion that can raise passion

And you think that Karl...?

If you obey me, Karl will be like a defenceless bird in your hands

Oh great spirit... Oh mighty Adonai...

Oh great spirit... Oh mighty Adonai...

Transfer the virtues of this unclean reptile...

Transfer the virtues of this unclean reptile...

Cunning, power, fascination...

Cunning, power, fascination...

into this submissive servant

So be it

So be it

Filthy vampire!

- The Marquis is dead - What happened?

I don't know, he died suddenly I think

The servants say he was playing music then suddenly stopped

God rest his soul

I still remember his mocking air when he bought that vampire stuff

I hope this serves as an example for unbelievers

Who is it?

What do you want?

Nadja

Your wages

Thank you

Tell the mistess I am sad to leave her

- But I understand her reasons - I'll tell her

Don't be a hypocrite, you're happy to be fired

You've never seen so much money

Shut up, you fool

I'd gladly forgo pay to stay with the Marquise

What will become of her?

Never pity the rich, Irina

She'll close the palace and go to the city,

or her castle by the sea

She'll forget the Marquis, you, me and the morning light

Take your money, and stop your sermons

Don't insult the mistress's kindness

Look, there at the bedroom window

What?

It was him, I'm sure I saw him

- Saw who? - The Marquis

Come on, Irina, enough of your witch tales

Come on, I have to be home before sunset

Take the coach so they won't see us arrive together

- I need strong drink, friend - What's the news?

In Cajlice they are still having problems with the dead

The Marquis who died a few days ago, they say he shows up at night

- Two girls have died already - Come inside and tell me

Hey, did you hear?

Marina where are you going?

Hey Marina!

Hear what they say about your beloved Marquis?

Idiot

- What are you painting? - Crosses against vampires

Plojovitz's daughter disappeared

They found Sandra's carriage and no sign of her

People are scared

This is wood from the Black Forest

One sharp blow is enough

I was going to look for you in the palace

- What is it? - Bad things are happening

The other day, leaving the palace, I saw the Marquis in the window

That's impossible, we all saw the Marquis dead

You must leave the palace, and tell the mistress also

Who knows what might pass?

Since the Marquis died, strange things have happened

You know he walked around the palace with that medallion from Plojovitz

You can come to my house if you want

- I don't know what to think - That place is cursed

There'll soon be more deaths like the Marquis

We'll get an olive branch blessed for Easter

and nail it over the cross on the door

It's the third house after the well

I still have bread made with vampire's blood,

if you want protection

I can't leave the mistress alone

But maybe I can convince her... to go to the city

To court, with her cousin, the Infanta

- Go with God - May the Virgin protect us

Inge, what's wrong?

Didn't you hear it?

No... I must have been dreaming

Your damned stories... I keep seeing vampires everywhere

- You want me to stay with you? - No

It's best I get over it

It'll pass. Don't worry about me

Get some sleep

Sir, I'm just a poor village girl

Inge!

Inge!

Don't be afraid, Erzebeth

You don't fear death, just old age

Yet the youthfulness under your smooth skin fears nothing

and your life can be gone just like that, in a split second

Let me go!

I can't believe it... Irina Valerius?

But don't you realize this is a macabre joke - a crime?

A sacrilegious crime, or maybe revenge?

Perhaps so, but the other girls?

Nadja, Sandra, even Inge, found dead in her home

The people are not looking for rational explanations

There are those who claim to have seen the late Marquis

It was Irina who saw him

That day we were fired from the palace

No one believed her, but now...

Erzebeth?

Erzebeth...?

What's going on, little one?

Nurse...

Someone was there, next to the mirror

Come, come, little one, I've locked all the doors

There's no-one, calm down

- It was Irina - No...

I saw her, I'm sure

Don't leave me alone

They've come for me

They stalk me

They want their blood back

That cursed blood that only slid off my skin

Those deaths, they weigh heavy on me

It's not long, little one, we leave at dawn

Leon will come for us with the carriage

and we'll go far from here where they'll never find us

I wish I'd never listened to you

The Devil has entered this house through your damned spells

He'll always follow us

And he'll never leave us, never...

Who's there?

Who is it?

Take off my boots, Marina

Why are you waiting?

Take off my boots

Suppose I scream and the servants come

I know that you are different

Different?

It's useless, Marina, you can't hurt me

Shall I try?

My father can hear us

Here I am

Come

Put on these jewels, rubies, tourmalines, garnets,

blood stones

No evil spirit can harm you now

Good morning, madam

- We heard you were leaving - You heard right

I ask you to postpone this journey

We await the arrival of the notary to exhume the corpse of the Marquis

On whose authority?

It's my duty to maintain public order

What if I still undertake this journey?

I would have to use force

We have nothing against you

Rather we are trying to protect you

Please understand, we need your collaboration

If you don't wish to attend the ceremony, no one will force you

You are free

We understand your situation

But you must understand we need to open the crypt

and the coffin

I forgive you on account of your ignorance

The power you've been given exceeds your ability

and you have no respect for a lonely woman

You force me to stay, but don't expect any help

Come, let's go

My God...

Don't fear, little one. you've done nothing

They know that

Remember the widow Plojovitz

All the weight of justice will fall on Karl

Wake up, Karl

Wake up, come on

You haven't changed your mind?

Of course not

I'll take you with me if you want

However...

Are you sure you won't miss all this?

Miss it?

I never liked my life here

I hate serving people

Only you can give me what I want

- Such as? - I don't know...

All my life I've wanted beautiful clothes

Jewels, servants

Many servants who will bow before me

People to wash my clothes, to comb my hair

And not just that, of course

We can love each other freely, and not like here, secretly...

in this miserable bed,

between these poor, rough sheets

But what's wrong?

Nothing

- I understand... Your wife... - No

My wife no longer counts in my life

You will have what you want

Everything you deserve, I promise

Trust me

Tonight they will have fun like never before

It's a shame we can't watch the show

- Have you heard? - Yes

They go to the crypt

No, that's not it

It's a horse

Calm down, little one

- How lovely - Put it on, it's yours

Is this where your victims die?

Yes

Like this?

Yes

Like that

Hold still

I don't want to hurt you

I knew it

And yet, you came...

I knew

I didn't want it to be you

- Not you - Save me, Karl, save me

It's too late, too late

My love

The court will hear evidence

But nothing that's been said proves the Marquis was a vampire,

- and not just a killer - How's that?

The crimes were committed after his death

I signed no death certificate

So I cannot be certain he was actually dead

My dear friend, why deny the most patent form of evidence

The witness can step down. Call the widow now

Erzebeth Bathory, Marquise of Cajlice

We are sorry, to have you appear in this unpleasant place

But we need you to identify your husband's body

Karl Ziemmer, accused of vampirism

Do you recognize him?

Yes, this is the body of Karl Ziemmer who was my husband

Thank you, madame

You can leave if you wish

But the court would appreciate some details

concerning the death of the Marquis

Some witnesses saw a connection between him and Dr. Plojovitz

Is that true?

You know very well I killed him

We know you discovered him with one of his victims

and that, in a way, you acted as the arm of justice

But we are interested in his first death,

before he became a vampire

My husband was never a vampire

I myself forced him to simulate his death

I don't understand...

- And yet... - What don't you understand?

This, for example

This blood, a moment ago, was just a dry stain

See how it has changed

Maybe it's just the heat, but...

This paper, this strange text on how to die

But it's not complete

And the Plojovitz bottle

Maybe...

I don't know

There must be a logical explanation

- Karl, I... - I don't understand

Or maybe I don't want to

Just the vain hope to wake someday and everything will be changed

and I will be changed

Karl, things are possible, if you want them enough,

really want them and have courage

- What do you want, Erzebeth? - I want you

No, you want beauty, youth, flesh

To rejuvenate your skin with young blood

Like the legend

Like the other Erzebeth

Maybe if I should die...

die and start another life

Is this not a land of vampires?

Then my suspicions were true

Remember Dr. Plojovitz's narcotic, that we found in the palace

- Do you remember, Magistrate? - SILENCE!

My Lady, you have not been asked to this court to be charged,

but as a friend of justice

Your words could make you an accomplice

to the murders carried out by your husband

Karl was just a coward

I forced him to kill and bring me his victims' blood

We understand that your grief compels you to accuse yourself,

to destroy yourself

Your words are contradictory

Because if Karl served you thus, then why did you kill him?

Did he have relations with the girl from the inn?

No, she was just another victim

I myself ordered her brought to the palace

It's not true. Why are you lying, Erzebeth?

You are right, sir, she's desperate with grief

The only culprit was him, it was Karl

Even my mistress was afraid of him

Don't listen to her, please, she's lost her mind

You know very well I bathed in the blood of those girls

- No! - You yourself helped me do it

- It's not true - Silence!

Madam, if what you say is true, why did you kill him?

I started this story by my will, I want to finish it the same way

Don't listen to her, she's crazy and she hated Karl

Now she wants to destroy him

To destroy even his memory, don't listen to her

Madam, think again

Do you accuse yourselves as instigator of the deaths

of Nadja Plojovitz, Irina Valerius, Inge Brossi, Sandra Vaczova

and Marina Schneider?

Yes

I am the only one to blame for all those deaths

And I assume all responsibility

If I may...

I must transmit the express wish of his majesty, whom I represent,

as it concerns a person of royal blood,

of possible disturbed mind,

this trial is dismissed

I accept that freeing the accused

would be an injustice, creating problems of public order

Therefore, I propose that along with the destruction of trial documents,

Erzebeth Bathory, Marquise of Cajlice,

be walled up in the rooms of her palace

That her accomplice's tongue be cut out

and she serve her mistress until the death of one or the other

THE END
