Dracula to sell him a house. From these clues, Van Helsing and Holmwood go about finding all but one of Dracula's "boxes of earth" (containing his native soil, in which a vampire must rest). But back at the hotel, the vampire hunters discover Dracula is there seeking revenge. He has bitten Mina and, before their eyes, forces her to drink blood from a self-inflicted gash in his chest. All that they love, all that is theirs, he will take, he says. The tracking of Dracula back to his home commences with Van Helsing hypnotizing Mina.

Dracula is weakened, finally going dormant long enough for Van Helsing to pierce his heart with a long spear. They leave him there.
