:15:01
To you, these monsters are
just evil beings to be vanquished.
:15:07
I'm the one standing there
when they die...
:15:09
and become the men they once were.
:15:11
For you, my good son,
this is all a test of faith.
:15:15
And now,
we need you to go to the East.
:15:19
To the far side of Romania.
:15:22
An accursed land...
:15:24
terrorized by all sorts
of nightmarish creatures.
:15:27
CARDINAL: Lorded over
by a certain Count Dracula.
:15:30
VAN HELSING: Dracula?
CARDINAL: Yes.
:15:33
You've never faced one
like this before.
:15:36
Our story begins 450 years ago...
:15:40
when a Transylvanian knight
named Valerious the Elder...
:15:43
promised God that his family
would never rest nor enter heaven...
:15:47
until they vanquished Dracula
from their land.
:15:50
They have not succeeded...
:15:53
and they are running out of family.
:15:56
CARDINAL: His descendant Boris Valerious,
King of the Gypsies.
:16:00
He disappeared almost 12 months ago.
:16:04
CARDINAL: His only son, Prince Velkan,
and his daughter, Princess Anna.
:16:09
CARDINAL: If the two of them are killed
before Dracula is vanquished...
:16:12
nine generations of their family...
:16:14
will never enter
the gates of St. Peter.
:16:18
For more than four centuries...
:16:19
this family has defended
our left flank.
:16:22
They gave their lives.
:16:25
We cannot let them
slip into purgatory.
:16:27
So you're sending me into hell.
:16:31
In a manner.
:16:36
Valerious the Elder left this here
400 years ago.
:16:40
We don't know its purpose...
:16:42
but he would not have
left it lightly.
:16:44
The Latin inscription translates as:
:16:47
"In the name of God,
open this door."
:16:51
There is an insignia.
:16:57
Yes, it matches your ring.
