Dracula 2000 Page #3

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.

VAN HELSING:
No!

VAN HELSING:
No. He is not here by accident.

Matthew, Abraham, whoever you are...

what else have you never told me?

For the first time, I believe...

that there is someone else in the world like him...

and he senses it. He senses his own blood.

VAN HELSING:
This is my daughter...

Mary.

MARY:
I was kissing him, David.

I saw myself kissing him...

and it was as real as I'm sitting here now.

How did you feel?

Scared, but a little bit drawn.

No, no. More than that.

It was like he was taking over...

taking control.

What does he want?

Do you have a sense of that?

He wants me.

He wants my soul.

Think about what you're saying, Mary.

He wants my soul, David...

and I don't know if I have the strength to fight him.

DAVID:
If such a man, or thing, or whatever it is...

has chosen you, then you've got to fight it.

Do you understand me, Mary? You've got to fight back.

Well, what if I can't?

DAVID:
Then you'll have betrayed your faith in Christ.

DRACULA:
But I will be with you forever.

Oh, my--

Mary, what's wrong?

I'm sorry. I just--

I'm sorry.

[Crowd yelling]

[Siren]

DRACULA:
Farewell...princess.

[Man singing indistinctly]

Hey, hey!

Ha ha ha!

Hey there. Check it out. It's free admission.

[Coins jingle]

GAUTREAUX:
Solina.

Dr. Seward here tells me...

you believe yourself to be a vampire.

Now, how does one become a vampire, Solina?

SOLINA:
No. How does one become a lover?

GAUTREAUX:
Well, I don't know.

Oh, one is chosen.

You see that?

See what?

[Solina breathing heavily]

Would you like to be chosen, Mr. Detective?

SOLINA:
Are you waiting for a woman to choose you...

as a lover?

You gettin' this on tape?

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

Solina, you...

you can't see me.

[Hisses]

Of course I can.

I can even see the outline of your cock...

through your pants.

SOLINA:
Don't pretend we're not interested.

You know, it's a special thing...

to be chosen.

Feels like...being born.

[Breathing heavily]

DRACULA:
You haven't been feeding her.

Aah!

[Gautreaux screams]

[Whimpering]

No! Aah! Aah!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Dignity, doctor.

Aah!

[Gags]

[Car horn honks]

We can't get the car through.

She must be found.

You try the shop where she works.

I will try to find her house.

Oh, God. I only pray she will listen.

You're still her father.

Yeah.

Whoo!

I am a pillar of salt

You'll never be worse than me, no

So get in the f***ing car

We got us a world to bleed, yeah

I hold all the combinations

To give you peace of mind, and I said

This is how we go about it

To make our heads explode all night

DRACULA:
Brilliant.

SINGER:
This is how we go about it

To make our heads explode all night

This is how we go about it

To make our heads explode

Whoa. Can I help you?

I'm here for Mary.

Mary?

She's...

I don't know where she is...

but if it's about music, I can help you.

My name's Lucy. Lucy Westerman.

DRACULA:
And such beauty.

LUCY:
This is it right up here.

Well, she should be home by now.

There's really no place else she goes anymore.

It's really weird.

She used to have this real wild streak.

Hey, Mary, you home?

Mare?

No luck.

I mean, no luck...yet.

You want to come in? You can wait.

This is it. Home sweet home.

I'm upstairs. Mary's down.

This place used to be her mom's.

We had to give it a little personality, though.

LUCY:
It was a little...

Oh, what's the word?

DRACULA:
Catholic.

Ha! Exactly.

Hey, can I get you some coffee or something?

I don't drink...coffee.

Why don't you make yourself comfortable?

I'll be right back down.

So you haven't told me your name.

DRACULA:
I have many.

But we're all so much more complicated...

than our names.

I...

Yes, Lucy?

I was named after the Peanuts character.

GIRL:
Mary. Hey, there was a guy in here.

MARY:
Where's Lucy? Have you seen her?

GIRL:
She cut out early. Looked like she had a date.

Why, what's the problem?

Problem?

Oh, no problem. Just a nervous breakdown.

[Gasps]

Mary Heller?

My name's Simon Sheppard.

I'm here about your father.

My father?

Who are you? How did you find me?

Is there somewhere we could speak?

My father and I have not had contact in over 12 years.

I assure you it's not because I can't remember the address.

SIMON:
Whatever you may think about him...

you only know the half of it.

Look, this is not a good time for me.

In fact, it's a really, really bad time.

[Elevator door opens]

I have to go.

Mary, I'm here to help you.

Mary, I know about your mother.

How she took you off to Scotland, Canada, here.

She never told you the reason, did she?

I saw what it did to her.

[Bottle rolling]

But...

Mary...

Mary, what you're scared of is real.

Your father's the only one who can help you.

MARCUS:
Buy a brother a drink?
