"The vampires attacked in daylight." "They never do that." "I was unprepared." "It won't happen again." "So why did they attack in daylight?" "Clearly they wanted to catch me off guard." "They seem almost desperate to finish off my family." " Why is that?" "Why now?" " You ask a lot of questions." "Usually I ask only two." "What are we dealing with?" "How do I kill it?" "My father spent most of his life looking for answers year after year." "Tearing through the tower, combing through the family archives." " Carl, the tower." "Start there." " Right." "The only way to save your family is to stay alive till Dracula's killed." "And who will kill him if not me?" "Who will show courage if not me?" "Go alone and you'll be outmanned and outpositioned."

"He's gonna kill people!" "He can't help it!" "It's not his fault!" "I know, but he'll do it anyway!" "Do you understand forgiveness?" "Yes." "I ask for it often." "They say Dracula has a cure." "If there's a chance I can save my brother," " I'm going after it." " No." " I need to find Dracula." " And I need to find my brother!" "He gave his life for me." "He's the only family I have left." "I despise Dracula more than you can ever imagine." "He has taken everything from me, leaving me alone in this world." "To have memories of those you loved and lost is perhaps harder than to have no memories at all." "All right." "We'll look for your brother." " Igor." " Yes, Master." " How long before we are ready?" " Soon, Master." "Very soon." "It is difficult without the good doctor but the Dwergi, they are doing well?" "(IN HUNGARIAN) No!" "Good." "ANNA:" "For me, this is all personal."

"Nightmares." "Werewolves only shed before the first full moon." "Before the curse has completely consumed them." "VAN HELSING:" "What is this place?" "ANNA:" "Castle Frankenstein." "But it should be abandoned." "I don't understand." "The man who lived here was killed a year ago." " A grave robber, among other things." " A year ago." "It was just after that that your father went missing." "Yes." "He was looking for Dracula." "He was on his way to the sea." "I have never been to the sea." "I'll bet it's beautiful." "Werewolves are such a nuisance during their first full moon." "So hard to control." "I send you on a simple errand to find out who our new visitor is and you have to stop for a little chat with your sister." "Leave her out of this, Count." "She doesn't know your secret." "And I am soon to take it to my grave." "Don't wish for death so quickly." "I intend for you to be quite useful." "I would rather die than help you." "Don't be boring." "Everyone who says that dies." "Besides, tonight, after the final stroke of midnight, you will have no choice but to obey me." "Look familiar?" "Father?" "No!" "He proved useless." "But I'm hoping, with werewolf venom running through your veins you will be of greater benefit!" "I may have failed to kill you, Count, but my sister will not." "Never!" " Dwergi." " Dwergi?" "Dracula's servants." "Industrious but extremely vicious." "If you get the chance to kill one, do it" " because they'll do worse to you." " Right."

"ANNA:" "They must have taken all the equipment to Dracula's lair." "Wherever that is." "Look, there's still time." "Dracula can't bring his children to life until the sun sets." "The sun sets in two hours." "We've been looking for him for more than 400 years!" "Yes, well, I wasn't around for those 400 years, now, was I?" "VAN HELSING:" "All right, Carl, what have you learned?" "That Count Dracula was actually the son of Valerious the Elder." "The son of your ancestor." "Everybody knows that." "What else?" "All right." "Well, according to this rubbing it all started when Dracula was murdered." " Do you know who murdered him?" " No, there's just some vague reference to the Left Hand of God." "And in 1462, when Dracula died," " he made a covenant with the Devil." " And was given a new life." "But the only way he could sustain that life was by drinking blood." "Excuse me." "Are you going to let me tell the story?" "BOTH:" "Sorry." "And your ancestor, having sired this evil creature, went to Rome to seek forgiveness." "That's when the bargain was made." "He was to kill Dracula in return for eternal salvation of his entire family right down the line all the way to you." "ANNA:" "But he couldn't do it." "As evil as Dracula was, my ancestor couldn't kill his own son." "So he banished him to an icy fortress sending him through a door from which there was no return." " And then the Devil gave him wings." " Yes." " All right, so where is this door?" " I don't know." "But when your ancestor couldn't kill his son, he left clues." "So that future generations might do it for him." "That must be what my father was looking for in here." "Clues to the door's location." "The door." "Of course." "You said your father spent hours staring at this painting, trying to find the lair." "I think you were right." "Quite literally." "I think this is the door." "He just didn't know how to open it." "Look." "A Latin inscription." "Maybe it works like that painting in the tower." "If this were a door, my father would have opened it long ago." "I can't finish the inscription." "There's a piece missing." " Your father didn't have this." " Where did you get that?" "Carl, finish it." "(READING IN LATIN)" "In the name of God, open this door." "A mirror." "Dracula has no reflection in the mirror." "But why?" "Maybe, to Dracula it's not a mirror at all." "It's cold." "And it's snowing." "See you on the other side." "Be careful." "Castle Dracula." "CARL:" "Do we have a plan?" "It doesn't have to be Wellington's at Waterloo, but some sort of plan would be nice." "VAN HELSING:" "We're going to go stop Dracula." "ANNA:" "And kill anything that gets in our way." "CARL:" "Well, you let me know how that goes." "Well, as grateful as I am to be out of the cold, that doesn't seem like a good thing." "(GROWLING)" "We'd better get moving." "CARL:" "So are all of those..." "ANNA:" "Yes." "CARL:" "And inside them are..." "VAN HELSING:" "Yes." "IGOR:" "Igor do this!" "Igor do that!" "How did you find..." "It's impossible!" " Please don't kill me!" " Why not?" "Well, I... (MONSTER SCREAMING)" "My master has awakened." " There is a cure." " What?" "Dracula." "He has a cure to remove the curse of the werewolf!" "Go, find the cure!" "Save yourself!" "Come on." "You heard him." "Let's find it." "Wait." "Why does Dracula have a cure?" " I don't care!" " I do." "Why does he need one?" "Why?" "Because the only thing that can kill him is a werewolf." "The painting." "That's what it meant." "But Dracula's been using werewolves to do his bidding for centuries." "Yes, but if one ever had the will to turn on him, he'd need a cure to remove the curse and make him human before it bit him." "You're going to take these two" " and lead them to the antidote." " No, I'm not." "Yes, I am." "Here's the plan." "When the bell begins to toll midnight, you'll be able to kill Dracula." "We just need to find the cure and get it into you before the final stroke." "Are you insane?" "What kind of plan is that?" "If they even suspect you of misleading them..." "Clip off one of his fingers." " I'll clip off something." " The tower over there," " that's where it is." " And what about the other tower?" " Give me that!" " That is where we reassembled the laboratory." "Would I lie to you?" "Not if you wanted to live." "Now, if I'm not cured by the twelfth stroke of midnight..." " I don't think I could." " You must." "Come on." "I don't like this plan." "We don't have a choice." "Just don't get killed." "You still don't understand." "It doesn't matter what happens to me." "We must save my family." "If you're late, run like hell." "Don't be late." "(WHISPERING) Now go." "Go." "MONSTER:" "Get off me, you vermin from hell!" "What are you complaining about?" "This is why you were made!" "To prove that God is not the only one who can create life!" "And now you must give that life to my children." "Up!" "There it is." "I'll go first." "ANNA:" "Carl!" "Stay as long as you like." "You try to get Igor." "Igor get you!" " Go ahead." "Grab it." " You go ahead and grab it." "If there's one thing I've learned it's never to be the first to stick your hand in a viscous material." " Did I scare you?" " No." "Then maybe I need to try a little harder." "Viscous material!" "What did I tell you?" "Get it!" "(SCREAMING)" "Hot." " Come on!" " Yes." "We've got to get the antidote to Van Helsing!" "Go!" "You can't go until I say you can go!" "Keep running, Carl!" "And I'll say you can go when you're dead!" "Oh, my God!" "What are you doing?" "You must find the cure!" " My friends are doing it for me." " Friends." "Yes." "You want one?" "I can't unscrew the bolts." "This is gonna hurt." "I am accustomed to pain." "It lets you know you're alive." "(SCREAMING)" "Give me life!" "One more bolt and my young will live." "(GROWLING)" "VAN HELSING:" "You're almost out, my friend!" "(SCREAMING)" "(HEART BEATING)" "Help me!" "But you're supposed to die." "I want to live." "All right!" "Be happy in the knowledge that I shall weep over your dead body." "Hang on!" "I'll swing you loose!" "You are too late, my friend." "My children live." "Then the only way to kill them is to kill you." "Correct." "So be it." "One." "(SCREAMING)" "No, this cannot be." "(GROWLING)" "We are both part of the same grand game, Gabriel." "But we need not find ourselves on opposite sides of the board." "MONSTER:" "Go!" "Go and help Van Helsing!" "Now!" "Thank you." "Oh, my God!" "Anna, I need a little help!" "Hurry!" "Throw it to me, Carl!" "Yes!" "You are being used, Gabriel, as was I." "But I escaped." "So can you." "Anna, my love, it is your blood that shall keep me beautiful." "What do you think of that?" "I think if you're going to kill someone, kill them." "Don't stand there talking about it." "(SCREAMING)" "Don't you understand?" "We could be friends." "Partners!" "Brothers-in-arms!" "(GROWLING)" "Did I mention that it was you who murdered me?" "It must be such a burden." "Such a curse to be the Left Hand of God." "All I want is life, Gabriel." "The continuation of my kind." "And perhaps the return of my ring." "Don't be afraid, Gabriel." "Don't be afraid." "I shall give you back your life, your memory." "Some things are better left forgotten." "(SCREAMING)" "For God!" "God forgive me." "(GROWLING)" "She's dead." "(HOWLING)" "(SOBBING)" "CARL: (IN LATIN) "Eternal rest grant unto her," ""Oh, Lord, and let perpetual light" ""shine upon her." "On her soul and the souls of all" ""On her soul and the souls of all" ""the dead faithful have mercy.""
