00:00:52 History is a tale told by the victors
00:00:57 Barbaric warriors, mad kings,
00:01:03 Maybe most of our historis are made of fables fabricated by those glorious victors
00:01:09 This is the story of Countess Erzebet Bathory.
00:01:14 Not just history remembers her
00:01:23 Countess Erzebet Bathory was born into one of the Hungary's most lxxx families in 1560.
00:01:29 Your future wife
00:01:32 She was promised to Ferenc N¨¢dasdy's at birth
00:01:39 Erzebet, come here
00:01:49 They stole a horse that deserved to be punished
00:01:52 History tells us, from very early age,
00:02:01 ...unfeeling...
00:02:04 ...curious...
00:02:08 ...and pittyless
00:02:29 Why is it? when you put someone under the ground they do not grow like seed?
00:02:34 The seeds are alive, whereas people we burried under ground are dead
00:02:39 - But if we burry them alive?
00:02:43 So we get eaten by worms
00:02:45 The body melts away but the soul passes onto heaven or hell
00:02:50 You will go to heaven just like your Papa
00:02:55 If it was not, I will have to raise an army to counque death
00:03:05 He is so lovely, I want him to be my husband
00:03:09 When he reachs his marring age,
00:03:13 Count Nadasky will be your husband
00:03:25 I beg you not to harm him
00:03:30 The only love you shall feel is to our lord
00:03:34 But for pesents and servants
00:03:38 Your pesent will die as he deserves
00:03:45 - It is a boy
00:03:49 But Mother, my child
00:03:54 She was married to Ferenc Nadasky at she was 15
00:03:58 Her mother died soon after
00:04:01 Erzebet managed her estate masterfully
00:04:05 Soon many noble families from kingdoms of Bohimia to Poland were in debt to her and her husband
00:04:12 She even lent a large amount of money to the king himself
00:04:16 She gave Nadasky 3 children
00:04:21 She hardly spent any time with her husband
00:04:27 In less than 50 years
00:04:30 The Turks has slaughtered and slaved half the population of Hungary
00:04:35 Nadasky and his men were only worriors they fear
00:04:40 Erzebet funded a hospital for the poor
00:04:44 But xxx said, that many of them never came out alive
00:04:48 There were devoted protestant.
00:04:50 Erzebet believed many heretical theories
00:04:53 Darvulia, who some claimed was witch,
00:04:56 managed Erzebet's wealth so well
00:04:58 that some believed she know the reciep for making gold
00:05:04 The combination of Nadasky's military power
00:05:07 and Erzebet's intelligence and unbending will
00:05:10 quickly makes them the most feared, respected and powerful family in the kingdom
00:05:18 The Countess

00:09:47 He probably caught a shameful illness

00:11:05 At somewhat less noble part.

00:37:53 If you let yourself die, what will
00:37:57 I do not know.
00:37:58 I do not understand how a strong woman can afford such weak young man?
00:38:02 He is not weak.

00:38:25 - The Countess is ill.
00:38:27 - Sounds she got mad, she's heartbroken.
00:38:34 Their silly love affair might

00:38:41 Although it was no small cost.
00:38:43 Soon my son would well fully into melancholy.
00:38:50 He is inheritate so little of my character.
00:38:54 What I want is his proof of

00:39:01 He just play with me. Who is he?
00:39:04 A son of a whore in Bxxx
00:39:07 He wrote about a young married woman.
00:39:12 Only 17 and very pretty.
00:39:15 He says he love her more
00:39:18 That his heart will only be hers.
00:39:21 He writes that he'd be sorry that mistook his
00:39:27 That I reminded him so much of his late mother!
00:39:34 Look!
00:39:37 Smooth and flawless.
00:39:40 Even if she smells like hog shit,
00:39:44 Erzebet, forget about him. I beg you!
00:39:50 How?
00:39:54 A man dresed in black at
00:39:58 - A young man?
00:40:03 - Should we let him in?

00:40:44 It concerned me to hear nothing
00:40:47 I've been quite busy.
00:40:55 The truth is I could not wait
00:41:09 Let me show you other ways to use this belt.
00:41:13 And someone might find
00:41:19 When my father first told me of the
00:41:24 I could not believe she was

00:41:32 - How can you?
00:41:35 ...because you do not have

00:41:48 I wish to be your servant ... always.
00:41:51 I am not young and foolish.
00:41:57 I wish to be alone.
00:42:18 I came to tell you I did not
00:42:22 I was such a fool to believe Istvan's love.
00:42:25 I was just too old to be loved.
00:42:28 But it is not true.
00:42:31 Maybe I should never have shown
00:42:45 Look at me. I am rotting.
00:42:51 - She was right.
00:42:57 The old witch in the park.
00:43:03 Your ointments are no longer effective.
00:43:08 Erzebet, I will not have you
00:43:12 What do you looking at?
00:43:30 It's bad enough my face has wrinkles.
00:43:39 Look at what you've done!
00:44:20 Leave! Leave!
00:44:27 No one knows what she saw in the mirror.
00:44:30 Is because of soft morning light merely illuminated in an unusual maner,

00:44:38 Thank you, my Lord.
00:44:45 You can stay at the castle.
00:44:50 This is for you from the Countess.
00:44:57 The countess is a good woman.
00:45:02 Dorothea, Susanna needs
00:45:19 - How old are you, my child?
00:45:22 - Where is your family?
00:45:26 - It is great far. Do you see them often?
00:45:36 Are you a virgin?
00:45:38 - Yes, Countess.
00:45:44 Get better.
00:46:16 - The wound is completely healed.
00:46:20 I did, but it healed anyway.
00:46:23 Darvulia, come have a close look.
00:46:30 - I have not seen any difference.
00:46:34 Helena, Dorothea what you see?
00:46:43 - It looks smoother to me.
00:46:47 Yes, it is Lord's answer to my prayers.
00:46:51 Not only the look, but the
00:46:55 As if I was younger. I believe
00:46:59 The purity of her blood seems
00:47:03 It really is a true miracle.
00:47:07 It is for your own good.
00:48:09 Did I kill you?
00:48:12 Almost.
00:48:14 I felt the cold breath of death and I
00:48:21 You mean heaven alway opens a door for you?
00:48:25 I doubt you will go to heaven
00:48:30 In fact I am sure to go to hell so why not
00:48:37 I am so fond of you that I could not
00:48:43 To my behavior to that old woman, I
00:48:51 For what I thought she'd put a curse on me.
00:48:55 It's old and torn off.
00:48:58 You looked exceptional ravishing tonight.
00:49:03 - Tonight more than the other night?
00:49:07 More than that afternoon in the park.
00:49:09 Tonight it seems the sun itself
00:49:13 Now that I look closely,
00:49:17 It is quite magical.
00:49:20 Tonight you looked no more than 20 years old.
00:49:27 I know.
00:49:44 Countess ...
00:49:47 What is happening?
00:49:50 You are giving me something beautiful.
00:49:56 But when will you stop?
00:50:00 When you are empty, my child.
00:50:09 It is said that it is how the murder started.
00:50:12 To achieve her mad pursuit of
00:50:16 she needed fresh blood, more and more.
00:50:26 God, is it wrong to one to stay beauty and young?
00:50:31 All around you is beauty.
00:50:36 If only Istvan could see me today.
00:50:47 You seem to be only one that
00:50:50 Fortunately, Dominic was there to notice...
00:50:52 ...how different I've looked ever since I started.
00:50:55 I will not trust a word comes out from his mouth.
00:50:57 Will you stop this before it is too late.
00:50:59 I tried to stop, but I already found it less alert.
00:51:04 I applied the blood again and I found incrediable strength invading every part of my body.
00:51:09 The blood is not making you any younger.
00:51:11 On the contrary, you starting to smell of death.
00:51:16 - Leave.
00:51:19 And you impudence will bring yours.
00:51:21 - Leave and never come back.
00:51:25 Is it true that you share loved only with women?
00:51:31 It makes you virgin then.
00:51:55 There have been so many maids died in the castle lately.
00:51:58 They were clumsy little geese.
00:52:03 Others fell down the stairs.
00:52:05 - Here.
00:52:13 We shall stop bringing girls to church.
00:52:16 I know the Countess wants to give
00:52:20 ...the Countess want fresh blood.
00:52:25 A quite invention.
00:52:28 I want make sure the witches around
00:52:32 I have heard that the moisture in their
00:53:16 It is said that the cages allowed her to bleed the girls...
00:53:19 ...more effectively with very little blood wasted.
00:53:24 The murders quickly multiplied. Witnesses
00:53:30 I wrote Erzebet many letters
00:53:36 After I was sured of her affair with Count Vizakna,
00:53:39 I stop writing and resigned myself to my fate.
00:53:42 What a staring jewel, matches your beauty.
00:53:46 A token from the King Matthias
00:53:50 - Must be exhausting to deal with war.
00:53:57 It is a shame that a beautiful woman
00:54:01 After all, it is said that the Queen
00:54:05 ...because of her war with Spain.
00:54:09 - Do you care for me?
00:54:16 You are not beautiful enough.
00:54:21 Oh, Unlike Istvan?
00:54:25 - Do not say his name.
00:54:31 - Is he back?
00:54:35 So, should I, be his death?
00:54:41 No.
00:55:07 - What are you looking for?
00:55:11 I come her at night to watch over her.
00:55:16 - You are a rat. I know who sends you.
00:55:22 No, you are here to flater
00:55:27 You are quite a beauty.
00:55:30 I did not know witches could
00:55:33 - Do not touch me with your poisonous hands!
00:55:38 If you come back, you will die.
00:55:42 I will die? How would I die?
00:55:45 Will you ask Satan for his gracious help?
00:55:47 Countess Bathory is the one who
00:55:50 But now it's clear tha she is more fond of me than that of you. So,
00:55:55 Let us see who dies first.
00:56:18 Seasons passed and Erzebet
00:56:23 She would visited Vienna only to see her children.
00:56:28 She claimed that she was busy with the war,
00:56:30 but slowly the rumor spread
00:56:33 Because her evil practices.
00:56:37 Witnesses later claimed that the dead
00:56:41 And most of the bodies were never found.
00:56:56 Erzebet delegedly kept percise
00:57:00 Her jurnals were presented main
00:57:05 Even though she denied
00:57:10 My Lord, perhaps what I am doing is wrong.
00:57:14 The blood has given me rashes of late.
00:57:17 Maybe peasant blood is too rough for my skin.
00:57:20 Darvulia has called for you.
00:57:24 Poisoned by her own venene no doubt.
00:57:33 Many girls have gone.
00:57:36 I found a body last year in
00:57:39 There are demons in there.
00:57:41 Maybe it's Bethory herself.
00:57:43 You have to do something.
00:57:46 Be sure you give it to the king himself.
00:58:21 My lord, the demons are here.
00:58:30 How can you let this happen, my loard?
00:58:34 I gave you so much.
00:58:43 He betrayed the Countess.
00:58:47 Stop that messenger, Janos. Hurry.
01:01:19 Count Vizakna left early,
01:01:23 He will not come back if he knows.
01:01:26 I should send one out to kill that villain.
01:01:30 It would be wise.
01:01:32 I came to tell that Darvulia is dead.
01:01:38 My love, do not let another
01:01:45 You have given them weapons to destroy everything you have built.
01:01:50 I shall miss only one thing from your world which is no longer of mine.
01:01:56 Your soft kisses.
01:01:59 I have loved you always.
01:02:03 Erzebet, you have gone too far.
01:02:06 Everything that is alive must die, and you too.
01:02:09 No mater what you do.
01:02:11 There is beauty in leting time do its duty.
01:02:31 I wish to leave for Vienna to visit my children.
01:02:57 You killed our priest, you demon.
01:03:01 Back to Cachtice!
01:03:06 Make sure the general gets it soon.
01:03:08 We need soldiers to protect us.
01:03:10 An angry crowd can be more
01:03:35 Where is Janos? He has been gone for weeks.
01:03:38 You send him to get girls from far away.
01:03:42 Give me a mirror.
01:03:59 The blood is making me sick
01:04:03 Bring me a virgin. Even a boy.
01:04:08 No, no boys. God created them in His image.
01:04:59 Countess.
01:05:03 This is the the only girl we found.
01:05:05 She is not too healthy, but she is a virgin.
01:05:17 - How old are you?
01:05:21 - You do not know?
01:05:27 - So you have no family?
01:05:32 They feed me when I clean up the pig sty.
01:05:37 Come
01:05:39 Pola, I remember you.
01:05:44 Come.
01:05:47 I wish to tell you something.
01:05:51 Pola, run away. Run, leave this castle.
01:05:55 Run, or I will kill you.
01:05:58 Pola!
01:06:40 After my father's death,
01:06:44 ...large sums of money
01:06:47 As well as a letter mentioning
01:06:50 ...disappeared around that time.
01:07:01 - Who are you?
01:07:04 My parents find you and punish you for this.
01:07:06 - How old are you?
01:07:10 - Are you a virgin?
01:07:16 And you?
01:07:19 I'm 22 and I am married.
01:07:25 Janos, I kill you.
01:07:28 You have brought a married woman.
01:07:30 And her husband will be looking after her.
01:07:33 I would like to know why we have
01:07:35 I will punish the traitor
01:07:38 - Did you say "Kraj"?
01:07:50 Kraj, how lovely to meet you.
01:07:55 You are right. My husband will be looking for me.
01:07:59 Not if I have a letter of farewell brout to him,
01:08:01 confessing your run away with your lover.
01:08:05 Istvan Thurz¨®, is it not?
01:08:09 You are mad. I have not
01:08:15 But I remember a rumor...
01:08:17 about a lustious countess,
01:08:22 And gave herself to him so easily.
01:08:29 Are you possibly be Erzebet?
01:08:45 Collect the blood before it is wasted.
01:08:48 It was no maners to put us out
01:08:52 I did not want to wait too long because of ...
01:08:59 ... smell.
01:09:02 We are not sure how many of xxx this way.
01:09:08 Not a drop of blood left in the poor girls
01:09:12 Your mother has been useing her
01:09:17 - I wish to visit my mother and see for myself.
01:09:25 Woudl you widsh to see more?
01:09:29 - I am not going.
01:09:33 - I am not going either.
01:09:50 Your Majesty ...
01:09:53 There are reports that girls have been...
01:09:55 ...disappearing near the Countess
01:09:58 Many peasants have come all the way to
01:10:04 The girls have been tortured before their death.
01:10:07 - I see nothing wrong in that.
01:10:12 Many are claiming Countess Bathory is
01:10:17 Witches and Demons?
01:10:21 Possiblly.
01:10:25 Her strength always seemed unnatural.
01:10:31 Probably driven by some spell?
01:10:36 A priest was found dead as well.
01:10:38 If the Countess is approved
01:10:42 You will be cleared of debts to her
01:10:47 Sign this and I shall send men to
01:10:54 Every month, I signed dozens of
01:10:59 And it becomes worth than plague.
01:11:03 When men become wise.
01:11:04 Which will not be soon.
01:11:21 The King has of the heard murders and
01:11:25 We must send our men today.
01:11:27 Her children signed the agreement.
01:11:31 They are eager to get thire share.
01:11:34 Perhaps she will be charged with murder.
01:11:38 I assured her children that witchcraft
01:11:43 So her estate can not be siezed by King.
01:11:46 To alow her to decrease her
01:11:51 The king was going to hear of
01:11:55 And her children would be complete destitute.
01:11:59 She has little choice but sign this...
01:12:01 ...in order to protect her children.
01:12:04 The agreement entitles you
01:12:08 ...and the extrordinary army she and
01:12:12 I see you have doubts. But the truth is
01:12:17 Peasant girls first, but noble women have
01:12:22 - You used to know one of them.
01:12:27 As I recalled, you were once quite
01:12:31 As I recalled, you were not very pleased about it.
01:12:35 - Why not send him?
01:12:40 I believe you are the one too,
01:12:44 And she is very cautious.
01:12:48 - Can I say no?
01:12:53 You saw some of the girl I found near her castle.
01:12:57 My body still bears the scars of her lunecy.
01:13:00 - Would you care to see?
01:13:02 She is a murdereress.
01:13:07 I want everything taken care of before
01:13:13 It is for your my son.
01:13:15 After this, you will be the most
01:13:19 - After you.
01:13:30 We are leaving today.
01:13:39 Do not feel remorsful.
01:13:43 She begged to kill you, not so long ago.
01:13:47 - Why did you you not?
01:13:54 It is strange to think that the hands that...
01:13:57 ...once to xxx her was whom strike her.
01:14:00 I will only strike her if she is guilty.
01:14:07 You know which sin is worst?
01:14:12 We will soon find out.
01:14:16 In hell.
01:14:20 Be aware of her. She is mad.
01:14:24 And she will try to kill you.
01:14:34 Stop!
01:14:37 Dismount.
01:14:41 I wish to see her doings with my
01:14:45 They will stay here until we send for them.
01:14:47 Do not fear, she only has few men protecting her.
01:14:51 It is not fear of facing a
01:14:54 The excitement of seeing her again
01:15:08 Horsemen, 2 horsemen riding towards us.
01:15:27 Dorothea, my white dress. Hurry.
01:15:34 You answered my prayers.
01:15:37 Dear Count Thurzo, what a
01:15:42 What has it been? Three years?
01:15:44 - Five.
01:15:47 Yes.
01:15:50 Let me ask you, how have you been, my lady.
01:15:53 I have been quite busy with this awful war.
01:15:58 So, what brings you here?
01:16:01 I was riding to Krakow when...
01:16:03 ...my companion pointed out
01:16:06 I thought maybe we could
01:16:13 I appologize about the flies.
01:16:15 My men left a horse rotting outside the castle...
01:16:17 ...and we have not been able
01:16:24 - So you're married now?
01:16:29 My wife died one year ago bearing our first child.
01:16:33 They died soon after.
01:16:37 I am do sorry to hear that.
01:16:39 She was a daughter
01:16:44 My father needed a new trading allies.
01:16:47 I am truly happy about
01:16:52 I can not tell you how often
01:17:14 Why did God have us 20 years apart?
01:17:19 It will not stop me loving you.
01:17:25 Come to my room.
01:17:28 I have had a long jurney.
01:17:31 Let me rest first. Then I shall come to you.
01:17:36 I was so afraid you would say no.
01:17:40 Why did you have to break my
01:17:45 What did I write in any of my
01:17:50 The one and the only letter I received from you...
01:17:53 ...confessing your love for Baroness von Kraj.
01:17:55 Kraj used to be mine but after
01:18:01 And I certaily never sent such a letter.
01:18:07 My father, he must faked my name.
01:18:12 How could I have doubted you?
01:18:22 I only trusted xxx to deliver
01:18:27 Begging you to forgive me.
01:18:31 But I was sent away by force.
01:18:36 Let us be stronger than your father's desperate...
01:18:38 attempt to distroy our beautiful love.
01:18:42 It's not too late. Come.
01:18:45 No.
01:18:48 Why not?
01:19:03 Your hands are so cold.
01:19:08 It is the joy of seeing you again.
01:19:13 Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?
01:19:17 I once lost my mind.
01:19:25 There is nothing more painful than feeling
01:19:31 I once promised myself to take revenge me.
01:19:36 But when I saw you riding from far.
01:19:40 All my anger vanished all I felt was love.
01:20:04 No mater how much I cared for her,
01:20:07 another part of me believed
01:20:12 There was too much evidence,
01:20:17 for me to believe that she could be innocent.
01:20:33 Have you lost your mind?
01:20:36 You're here to find out about the cruel
01:20:39 I'm so fond of her. I do not
01:20:45 Do not let her charm you.
01:20:49 Perhaps if her heart was not broken,
01:20:55 God made her this way or the devil more like.
01:20:58 Her evil was forged this way from birth.
01:21:00 - What if I disobeyed my father and escaped.
01:21:05 So we will never know.
01:21:09 Let's find out someting not good..
01:21:23 Master, you do not want to see this.
