My god,
brother what have you done?
Yet again we arrived
to witness this monster's aftermath
I will not tolerate this
any longer Markus
Your brother must be stopped!
- It ends tonight
- We must move quickly before they turn
- Is he still here?
- Yes...
Viktor...
He must not be harmed
I gave you my word
did I not?
But William must be controlled
Burn the bodies!
Search the outbuilding!
Markus!
Stay with me
Give me the torch
They're changing!
Retreat to the woods!
I will stay and fight!
You need my help!
I need you alive
If you die, we all die
Now go!
- We found him
- ..and?
- We need more men
- Find Amelia
Amelia, we found William
Leave him be!
Stop this, you're killing him!
More!
William
Markus!
He was not to be harmed!
Place him in my charge as we agreed
or you will pay for your deceit
And you will learn your place
Your sympathy for this beast
is foolish
Your brother is entirely
beyond control
It will be done my way
You know well the consequences
if you murder me or William
If you so much as speak his name again you
will have chosen that future for him
What is thy will...
... my lord
Imprisonment for all time
Far from you
For 6 centuries I was a loyal
soldier of the Vampire clan
But I was betrayed
The war was not as it had seemed
In one night the lies that have
united our kind has been exposed
Craven our second in command had
formed a secret alliance with Lucian...
...ruler of the Werewolf clan...
... to overthrow Viktor, our leader
But Craven's lust for power and
domination had failed
Viktor is not the savior
I had lead to believe
He had betrayed us all
Soon the hunt will be on
for his killer
I have but one ally left,
Michael
The human descendent of Corvinus
Not a Vampire nor Lycan
but a hybrid
It's only a matter of time
before we're found
My only hope now is to
awaken Markus...
... our last remaining elder
and expose the truth
before Craven tries to murder
him while still in hibernation
Craven knows he is no match
for him awake
This thing has been dead
for weeks
I thought lycans went back to
their human form when they died
They do, this one's been given a
serum to stop regression so it can
be studied
How can you tell?
- Not quite your department I guess
- I just kill them...
... don't pay much attention
to their anatomy
- How long can we stay here?
- Not long
These safe houses are all linked
together on one mainframe...
... motion sensors say which
ones are active
Someone could have picked us
up already
It's only about an hour to daylight
Can you even make it back to
the mansion before sunrise?
Just
Ok, let's get what we need and go
No
I'm going alone
Open it
- Markus...
- The blood memories of this wretched creature...
... has shown me that your
treachery knows no bounds
My lord, I can explain
Why should I listen to your lies?
When the journey to the truth...
... is so much sweeter
I kept the secrets
Cleaned up the mess
"You will go before Viktor..."
"... and tell him exactly what
I tell you to"
Please ... I can assist you
Oh you already have
If I complete my case there's a
chance you'll be granted sanctuary
Right now you'll be killed on sight
- Not willing to risk it
- What am I supposed to do sit here and wait?
Craven may still have his men with him,
you're not going alone
- You're not as strong as you might think
- What?
Michael, you're unique
There has never been a hybrid before
However ambivalent you are about it,
The truth is your powers may be limitless
You depend on blood, you need
to feed
Without it you will be growing
weaker by the second, use the time for that
Jesus Christ... and what if I don't?
Or if I can't?
It could be lethal
If you don't anticipate your cravings,
you will attack humans
And believe me you don't want
that on your conscience
There really is no going back Michael
I'm Sorry
Look I understand what you did,
I'm grateful
You saved my life
I wasn't ready to die
Everything has changed...
... I probably needed a minute to think
the process all at once
Look, go, I'll be here
Just make sure you come back
Sir
Witness has been silenced?
But otherwise unharmed as ordered
- Show me what you have
- Yes sir
we found no lycan bodies
Apparently they we using some kind of
new ammunition, some sort of UV round
Amelia?
No one survived
It seems Craven's men may have been present
but did nothing to prevent it
and Viktor?
- No trace of Markus amongst the ashes?
- It seems he has destroyed his own coven
It was never his coven
"We need to go"
Give me a moment
How ya' doing
Thank you
"... Michael Corvin ..."
Michael
- Here, take it
- No
Michael you'll die
Can you move?
We need to go
- Markus
- I know what you've done, Selene
Viktor deserved his fate
Craven was no better
Craven has already reaped the rewards
of his own misdeeds
and Viktor, he deserved his fate...
... many times over
A terrible business the slaying
of your family
Yet so much effort was spent to
conceal this from me
What do you suppose Viktor
had to hide?
Or perhaps, it is you Selene
As the last of your wretched family
who has something to hide
Go!
Dead or alive, you will give
me what I want
You okay?
- He's a hybrid isn't he?
- Yes
He wanted this
Why?
I don't know
But we have another problem
Turn off up here
Get down
Keep your foot on the gas
and stay down!
Hold on!
Give me your hand
Jesus Christ
- There's really no need
- Be right back
Let me see
See...
...no need
Area secure sir
The sun is setting
What's wrong?
If supplies were taken used
weapons were left behind
they couldn't have gone very far
Remain airborne for the moment
I'm sure they will re-appear
Yes sir
I've seen this before when
I was a child
I've held it when it was
open like this
How is that possible?
I don't know
But I know someone that might
Andreas Tanis, he was the official
historian of the covens
He fell from favor after documenting
what Viktor considered malicious lies
Of course as it turns out he's
been telling the truth
- What happened to him?
- He was exiled over 300 years ago
we're going to find him now?
I was the one who exiled him
- Looks like a monastery
- It used to be, more like a prison now
Tanis has been hiding there since
Viktor's order
We're the most people he'd
seen in centuries
- That's odd
- What?
I don't remember this
gate being here before
Take this
Go back!
Got you
Fuck
I knew it was you Selene
The stench of Viktor's blood
still lingers in your veins
Tanis, I see your aim hasn't improved
You haven't changed
You don't scare me Selene
Well we're going to have
to work on that
We need to talk
Your exile seems a bit more
comfortable than I remember
- How does a Vampire have Lycan bodyguards?
- A gift
From a most persuasive client
Lucian
Why would Lucian want to protect you?
Because he was trading with them
UV rounds, how long have you been in
the business of killing your own kind
I've done what's necessary to survive
My decision was easy once your
precious Viktor betrayed me
Betrayal was something he did
very well
Viktor's dead
I killed him
You? Killed Viktor?
No I think not
Oh unless you've learned the truth
So your eyes are finally open
Ain't it interesting that the truth
is even harder to absorb than lies
You know I tried to stop him of course,
a travesty committing such a horrible crime
And then turning you
That was too much to take
My protest as to why he put me here
Careful with that dear...
... makes a terrible bang
Open the blades and they're active
Good to know
Viktor put you here for a reason but
I doubt its because you had moral qualms
- What do you know?
- Very little of anything...
... I'm afraid
Oh, then perhaps I may be mistaken,
then there's no use for you at all
Markus was after this
Why?
Some history is based on truth...
... and others on deception
Viktor was not the first of our
kind as you were led to believe
He was once human,
ruler of his lands
Markus,
he's the one
The source,
the first true Vampire
So the legend is true
Toward the end of his ruthless life
his next breath meant more to
Viktor than silver or gold
Markus came with an offer,
a reprieve ...
... from sickness and death
Immortality
In return, Viktor was to use his
army turned immortal to protect him
To do what?
To defeat the very first werewolves
A dangerous and very infectious breed
Created by Markus's own flesh and blood
His twin brother William
But these weren't the Lycans we know
disgusting as your brethren may be ...
... they at least are evolved
No these were raging monsters
Never able to take human form again
It's only the later generations that
learned to channel their rage
And William's appetite for destruction
and rampage was insatiable
He had to be stopped,
So once Viktor's army was turned ...
... the legions of Vampires under his control
tracked down and destroyed the animals
Then captured William and locked him away
Viktor's prisoner for all time
Why let him live?
For the same reason why Viktor
never conspired against Markus
Fear
He was warned if Markus should ever be killed,
all those in his blood line would follow him to the grave
So in Viktor's mind, William's death would
be the end for all Lycans ...
... his slaves
Yes
Yes a clever deception
but one Viktor was hardly willing to put to the test
So Markus was protected,
at all costs
Ah yes, here we are
- Vampires?
- Mortals
Men loyal to Alexander Corvinus
The father of us all
What's this?
You should know,
It's William's prison
The prison your father was
commissioned to build
"So you've been the one keeping
a watch over this for me have you"
What is it?
what's wrong?
She now understands why her
family was killed
But that was many years later
The winter of Lucian's escape,
your father knew too much
or too much for Viktor to risk
Especially when Lucian had the
key to William's cell
And I'm the map
Yes
The only one still living who
has seen its location
Oh Viktor realized you'd be too
young to remember explicitly ...
... but Markus knows that the memory and
therefore the exact location of Williams prison ...
... is hidden away in your blood
Why is Markus looking for him now?
After all this time?
That I cannot answer
But I do know someone who could stop him,
perhaps I could arrange a meeting
In exchange for your discretion
of course
Of course
Tanis, you seem anxious
Why do you flee the very sight of me?
Please, sit
There's no need for this to
be unpleasant
I always rather enjoyed
your company
Now you're being rude
Sorry
Viktor struck 2 keys,
what do you know of them?
Keys?
I don't know of any keys
Oh yes, those keys
Yes?
One was kept in plain sight...
... draped around his daughters neck
- Right there for you to see
- And the other?
- Kept with Viktor at all times
- Where?
Within him
Beneath the flesh
... perhaps I could arrange a meeting
... go to pier 17, ask for Lorenz Macaro
- How do you know he's not just setting us up?
- He's not brave enough to set me up
You can go
You're familiar with this then?
Intimately
You are Alexander Corvinus
There was a time when I
was known by that name
By any name I am still
your forefather
How have you stayed hidden
all these years?
For centuries I have stood by and watched
the havoc my sons have brought upon each other ...
... and upon humanity
Not the legacy I prayed for the morning
I watched them enter this world
And a tiresome duty!
Keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess
Hiding my family's unfortunate history
- Couldn't you have stopped it?
- Yes ...
- Could you kill your own sons?
- You know what Markus will do?
If he finds me, he finds William's prison
You need to help us stop him
You are asking me to help you
kill my son?
You? A Death Dealer?
How many innocents did killed in the
Spare me your self-righteous declarations,
you are no different from Markus
And even less noble than William
At least he cannot control
his savagery
Anything I've done can be
laid at your feet
Hundreds of thousands have died
because of your inability to accept ...
... that you sons are monsters!
That they create monsters!
You could have stopped all of this
Don't come groveling to me simply
because you are weaker than your adversary
You know the devastation William
caused before he was captured
He cannot be set free
No, wait!
You're no match for him
Soon, brother
They're gone...
... there, there, my child, you are safe now
No, Michael
Look at me!
Michael!
Hello father
You are unwelcomed in my presence
Ah, the predictable heart,
that never thaws
Pity it beats within such a fool
The eldest of the immortals...
... yet you have made no attempt
to seize your destiny
We are oddities of nature
you and I
Nothing more
This is a world for humanity
And that petty sentiment explains
why you rejected your sons?
Why you stood by for half a millennium
as William suffered alone in darkness?
No father, I have no sympathy
for your petty sentiment
Viktor's key ... where is it?
Whatever plan you have for William
is futile, you cannot control him
Oh I am stronger now
And our bond is greater than
you've ever wanted to acknowledge
You're wrong, soon you'll be drowning
in Lycans just like before
Not Lycans father or vampires
A new race, created in the image
of their maker
Their new god
Me
And a true god ...
... has no father
You will fail
- Get the kit!
- No!
Please sir, let us help you
The time has come my friend
Find the girl ...
... bring her to me
No, wait, wait
If you want Markus, you will
need Alexander's help
Don't leave him here
- Did he get the pendant?
- Yes
He's too powerful for you alone
You're the only one older than
he is, the only one stronger
You could have killed him yourself
No matter what he's become ...
... he is my son
You are the last hope left
There is only one way to
defeat him
Quickly now, before there is no
more legacy left in my veins
What will I become?
The future
Go now
We're getting close
Head back around towards the river
I don't see a way inside
There used to be a river
entrance just there
It must be submerged now
Looks like we're getting wet
Closer!
Selene!
William ...
Wait
No William stop!
Be still brother
It's me
I'd no sooner harm you than myself
Which way?
Is this it?
He's already here
- What is it?
- Nothing
Let's go
We're too late
Impressive
Michael you're unique
There's never been a hybrid before
You powers could be limitless
Hold it!
- Where is he?
- He went right through there
All we have is UV rounds,
it won't take him down
No, but it'll slow him down
Let's go
You alright?
No these are not the lycans you know ...
... raging monsters ... unable to take human form ever again
What are you waiting for?
Shoot 'em!
I can't, not without taking
her out!
I can't get a shot!
Michael
Take him down!
William!
I knew Viktor made a mistake
by keeping you as a pet
He should have killed you
with the rest of you family
An unknown chapter lies ahead
The lines that have divided the
clans has now been blurred
Chaos and infighting are inevitable
All that is certain is that
darkness is still ahead
But for now for the first time
I look into the light with new hope
