For years, we've been trying
to combine the bloodlines.
:19:10
And for years, we've failed.
lt was useless.
:19:17
Even at the cellular level,
our species destroyed each other.
:19:21
Yet the key, we knew...
:19:24
...was to locate
the rarest of bloodlines...
:19:27
...a direct descendant
of Alexander Corvinus...
:19:31
...Hungarian, a warlord...
:19:35
...who came to power in the early
seasons of the fifth century.
:19:40
Just in time to watch a plague
ravage his village.
:19:47
He alone survived.
:19:50
Somehow, his body
was able to change the disease...
:19:55
...mold it to his benefit.
:19:59
He became the first true immortal.
:20:13
And years later,
he fathered at least two children...
:20:17
...who inherited this same trait.
:20:19
The sons of the Corvinus clan.
:20:23
One bitten by bat, one by wolf...
:20:26
...one to walk the lonely road
of mortality as a human.
:20:32
-lt's a ridiculous legend, nothing more.
-That may be...
:20:38
...but our species
do have a common ancestor.
:20:41
There is a descendant
of Corvinus lying there...
:20:47
...not three feet from you.
:20:50
Yes.
:20:52
But he's already a Vampire.
We needed a pure source...
:20:58
...untainted. An exact duplicate
of the original virus.
