1. Why are you still awake?
It's the middle of the day.Copy !req
2. I'm redrawing my plans.Copy !req
3. Carmilla's gotten inside your head.Copy !req
4. If her scheme is going to work,
we need to move fast,Copy !req
5. before the humans regain control
over the region in question.Copy !req
6. Ah, I don't think that's likely.Copy !req
7. There's been no intelligence
from the capital of Wallachia.Copy !req
8. They could be preparing for a move.Copy !req
9. Or they're all dead.Copy !req
10. But I don't know.Copy !req
11. So I have to factor that in.Copy !req
12. Mmm. You should sleep.Copy !req
13. We can possibly push east
as far as Lake BalatonCopy !req
14. before I run out of soldiers,Copy !req
15. but that exposes our Western border.Copy !req
16. Sleep.Copy !req
17. We can't do it without Lenore
turning the forgemaster,Copy !req
18. and she's just taking him out
for fucking walkies.Copy !req
19. She will land him.Copy !req
20. It's going to have to be soon.Copy !req
21. Come to bed.Copy !req
22. And the weapons!
The supply lines!Copy !req
23. Ohh! I worked all that out earlier.Copy !req
24. - What?
- It's just money and time.Copy !req
25. I did the calculations.Copy !req
26. Then calculate this.Copy !req
27. We need dead bodies,
but we also need feeding stock.Copy !req
28. Hector can make every human from here
to Balaton into a night creature,Copy !req
29. but that leaves us with nothing to eat.Copy !req
30. Yes,Copy !req
31. but surely you know how the regions
surrounding Styria defend their bordersCopy !req
32. against the four terrible vampire women
in the castle.Copy !req
33. With soldiers.Copy !req
34. They don't have that many soldiers.Copy !req
35. They hire mercenaries.Copy !req
36. Yes. Soldiers, mercenaries,Copy !req
37. local forces... what's the difference?Copy !req
38. The difference is
that mercenaries can be rehiredCopy !req
39. by the opposing side for more money!Copy !req
40. But...
there's no honor in that.Copy !req
41. No, but there is money.Copy !req
42. So we can deplete the forces
rallied against usCopy !req
43. and deploy the men we buy,
as you wish.Copy !req
44. You can actually do this?Copy !req
45. It was an administrative problem,
and I solved it.Copy !req
46. Can you not keep it down?Copy !req
47. I can hear you through several walls
and three snoring boys.Copy !req
48. I do not want to know.Copy !req
49. What are you doing in
the middle of the bloody day?Copy !req
50. Making your scheme work.Copy !req
51. You don't have to "make" it work.
It was bloody genius.Copy !req
52. Good morning. I'm going to bed.Copy !req
53. Well, we're all awake now,
we might as well have a drink.Copy !req
54. And you can tell me
how you helped with my scheme.Copy !req
55. Wait.Copy !req
56. You call it a scheme?Copy !req
57. It is a scheme.Copy !req
58. Rude.Copy !req
59. But if you insist... we can have a drinkCopy !req
60. and tell you how
we'll be ruling an empire next year.Copy !req
61. If Lenore can do her part.Copy !req
62. Well, now I definitely need a drink.Copy !req
63. I think she's fucking adopted him.Copy !req
64. He's holding things back from us,
you know.Copy !req
65. He's lonely. He wants us to stay.Copy !req
66. Well, he did kill his father.Copy !req
67. And the people who helped him left.Copy !req
68. It's just him in a dead castle
guarding a ruined house.Copy !req
69. It doesn't seem fair, does it?Copy !req
70. He rid the world of Dracula,
and this is his reward.Copy !req
71. I think that he thinks he deserves it.Copy !req
72. The loneliness?Copy !req
73. He killed his own father.Copy !req
74. He wants to be punished for it.Copy !req
75. Even though he had no choice.Copy !req
76. It seems that he probably killed Cho, too.Copy !req
77. At the very least, Cho died
as a result of his attack on Dracula.Copy !req
78. Now home is more unprotected than ever.Copy !req
79. But he has so many wonderful things.Copy !req
80. He can do so much for us.
Give us a future.Copy !req
81. But he stays hereCopy !req
82. because it's as close to death
as he can manageCopy !req
83. without killing himself.Copy !req
84. We should do something for him.Copy !req
85. Give him a reward.Copy !req
86. Can it be after I've had a nap?Copy !req
87. I've read so much, my brain hurts.Copy !req
88. So lazy.Copy !req
89. I'm not lazy.Copy !req
90. I conserve my resources
for important efforts.Copy !req
91. Like eating?Copy !req
92. God, did we miss lunch?Copy !req
93. Maybe Alucard can make lunch again.Copy !req
94. - And dinner.
- One more dinner?Copy !req
95. Well, sooner or later, I'll have to
start preparing my own food again.Copy !req
96. And meals taste better
when someone else makes them.Copy !req
97. That's what I always say.Copy !req
98. I know.Copy !req
99. All right, then.Copy !req
100. Lunch and dinner,Copy !req
101. and we'll see what the night brings.Copy !req
102. Oh, shit.Copy !req
103. Aah!Copy !req
104. Are you wandering around again?Copy !req
105. Uh, n-n-no, not at all.Copy !req
106. Just stretching my legs
before I go outside.Copy !req
107. The knees, you know.
Not what they used to be.Copy !req
108. I spent too much time
crouching down with your wonderful books.Copy !req
109. I see.Copy !req
110. H-Honestly. Wonderful.Copy !req
111. I've learned so much.Copy !req
112. What... have you learned?Copy !req
113. Well, I believe many of
the previous occupants of this placeCopy !req
114. had a real interest
in contacting Hell itself.Copy !req
115. You mean we are not the... I mean...Copy !req
116. this has happened before?Copy !req
117. In the past.Copy !req
118. It's clear to me
that there have been attemptsCopy !req
119. to open a door to Hell here.Copy !req
120. In fact, this entire structure
could be contaminated.Copy !req
121. I worry for your health, Sala!Copy !req
122. I myself may have developed
a nasty cough and a slight limp.Copy !req
123. You shouldn't be here.Copy !req
124. Two of our number have gone missing.Copy !req
125. But our work is almost done here.Copy !req
126. Not soon enough, Sala!Copy !req
127. They may have expired
from the Satanic poisonCopy !req
128. permeating the very stones
and timbers of this building.Copy !req
129. We can't leave right now.Copy !req
130. But you must! You must flee, Sala!Copy !req
131. Flee?Copy !req
132. You're absolutely right, Prior! Flee!Copy !req
133. So...Copy !req
134. why don't you tell me how many of you
there are in that priory?Copy !req
135. You're a bit late.Copy !req
136. Not as many as there used to be,
but more than enough.Copy !req
137. What, have you been
eating each other in there or something?Copy !req
138. We've been leaving... for days!Copy !req
139. Just a few of us, one a day.Copy !req
140. Walking to other towns,
spreading the word.Copy !req
141. - Like an infection.
- Like evangelists.Copy !req
142. Passing on the knowledge and the plan.Copy !req
143. Bring Hell to this abandoned Earth.Copy !req
144. This is Sala's plan?Copy !req
145. This is our Visitor's plan.Copy !req
146. He spoke to us.Copy !req
147. We heard his voice in our heads.Copy !req
148. Since that moment,Copy !req
149. everything has been clear.Copy !req
150. It really did drive them insane.Copy !req
151. The monks may actually
be the victims here.Copy !req
152. Night creatures have magical powers.
It may have distorted their minds.Copy !req
153. They've got a night creature
under the priory.Copy !req
154. They didn't kill it, they hid it.Copy !req
155. Wait. One second.Copy !req
156. Carry on.Copy !req
157. The priory is in ruins.Copy !req
158. I suspect it's been deconsecrated.Copy !req
159. There is a night creature
being held on a basement level,Copy !req
160. symbols drawn around it.Copy !req
161. The Corridor is in that same basement.Copy !req
162. It's alive down there?Copy !req
163. Oh, yes! I didn't even get the sense
that it was in pain.Copy !req
164. And it's proximity to the Corridor
is suspicious.Copy !req
165. I think it's waiting.Copy !req
166. Sala and his men are enacting
some kind of planCopy !req
167. involving these alchemical symbols.Copy !req
168. The same symbols we've seen?Copy !req
169. Indeed! Combined!Copy !req
170. There are pages missing from volumes
in the priory's old library.Copy !req
171. The application of alchemy
is honestly f-fascinating.Copy !req
172. They completely ignored the best part
of the books stored in the priory.Copy !req
173. Two persons who have gone through
death and rebirthCopy !req
174. can be fused into The Rebis,Copy !req
175. the ultimate alchemical goal,Copy !req
176. - and they didn't even think of it...
- Saint Germain. Focus.Copy !req
177. Y-Yes, yes, of course.Copy !req
178. It's just, the missed opportunity
to complete alchemy itself!Copy !req
179. It could save the very world!Copy !req
180. Let's settle for saving this town.Copy !req
181. Indeed. I feel as if
I've been led here.Copy !req
182. To find the Infinite Corridor,Copy !req
183. to achieve the ultimate goal
of philosophy,Copy !req
184. and to be...
a hero.Copy !req
185. From a discreet and respectful...
distance.Copy !req
186. We're doomed.Copy !req
187. We absolutely are not.Copy !req
188. Sypha, translate this idiot's gibberish
into actual language for me.Copy !req
189. I don't have enough information yet.Copy !req
190. All you need to know
is that the priory is desecratedCopy !req
191. and they are somehow working
with a living night creatureCopy !req
192. who has taught them magic.Copy !req
193. Sadly, that is all entirely possible.Copy !req
194. We can handle the night creature,Copy !req
195. but I'd rather not wade through
a small army of mad monks to get to it.Copy !req
196. I'll summon my men-at-arms by stages.Copy !req
197. I don't want to cause alarm
or give Sala warning.Copy !req
198. We'll strike at sundown,
when the townsfolk will be indoors.Copy !req
199. Sypha and Saint Germain
will need to get under the priory with me.Copy !req
200. Your people shouldn't be
anywhere near that.Copy !req
201. Make a hole for us,
and keep the monks off our backs.Copy !req
202. Do we really have time
to wait for sundown?Copy !req
203. This is my town. You do as I say.Copy !req
204. We must have strategy
and force of numbers.Copy !req
205. This will be done properly.Copy !req
206. I'll begin the preparations.Copy !req
207. And, uh, why would I
be going down there with you?Copy !req
208. I seem to have missed that part
of your epic plan.Copy !req
209. Because from what you've said,Copy !req
210. there's a night creature
between you and the Infinite Corridor.Copy !req
211. Yes...?Copy !req
212. And we may only have one chanceCopy !req
213. to get you past it
so you can open the Corridor.Copy !req
214. I'm afraid I don't understa...Copy !req
215. Oh! Wait!Copy !req
216. You're... You're actually...Copy !req
217. helping me?Copy !req
218. You're being... kind.Copy !req
219. All right, all right, no need
to make a production out of it.Copy !req
220. Well...
I'm so sorry.Copy !req
221. I'm-I'm-I'm simply not used to people
being kind to me for no reason.Copy !req
222. That's enough.
Keep it down.Copy !req
223. We don't want anyone to hear.Copy !req
224. He saw a man try to kick a cat once,Copy !req
225. and he broke the man's leg
in three places!Copy !req
226. Well, you don't
do that to cats, do you?Copy !req
227. Three places. I heard three cracks.Copy !req
228. Poor bloody cat wasn't hurting anyone.Copy !req
229. Cats just want to get on with their lives.Copy !req
230. You have shown us the truth.Copy !req
231. We have listened. We have prepared.Copy !req
232. We have restrained you, as you wished.Copy !req
233. We have given you time to meditate,
as you asked.Copy !req
234. God has abandoned the Earth.Copy !req
235. Dracula must be brought back.Copy !req
236. It is what you want.Copy !req
237. It is what he who forged you would want.Copy !req
238. We do this in the name of our Visitor,Copy !req
239. and his forgemaster, Isaac.Copy !req
240. When the sun goes down,Copy !req
241. we shall do what needs to be done.Copy !req
242. The armory here is beautiful.Copy !req
243. I expected there to be
more magical weapons, though.Copy !req
244. My father was an accomplished magician.Copy !req
245. He held enough power within himselfCopy !req
246. that he felt magically enhanced weapons
to be unnecessary.Copy !req
247. He preferred physical things
to be themselves.Copy !req
248. Do you?Copy !req
249. I don't have a strong opinion.Copy !req
250. Magic and science
are two sides of the same coin to me.Copy !req
251. Are you sure the castle can't be moved?Copy !req
252. I'm sure.Copy !req
253. There's not something
you're not telling us?Copy !req
254. No.Copy !req
255. Would you tell us if there's something
you're not telling us?Copy !req
256. Excuse me?Copy !req
257. It's just that...Copy !req
258. there are parts of the castle
that you avoid showing us.Copy !req
259. Things you don't talk about.Copy !req
260. It's a big castle.Copy !req
261. Filled with centuries of material,
like the Hold.Copy !req
262. We have plenty of time together,
don't we?Copy !req
263. Yes, we do.Copy !req
264. All right, then.Copy !req
265. Who's hungry?Copy !req
266. Has night fallen already?Copy !req
267. - You didn't hear me enter.
- No.Copy !req
268. You have a scent.Copy !req
269. Like... jasmine and wine.Copy !req
270. Good book?Copy !req
271. I didn't notice that ring before.Copy !req
272. Really? We all wear them.Copy !req
273. All?Copy !req
274. The four of us.Copy !req
275. Carmilla, Morana, Striga and I.Copy !req
276. I'm presuming there's
some disturbing reason for thatCopy !req
277. and I will regret asking.Copy !req
278. Silly.Copy !req
279. Look. The black and the red.Copy !req
280. The night and the blood.Copy !req
281. These are the things
that bind us together.Copy !req
282. The rings are a sign
of loyalty to each other.Copy !req
283. That's actually... well,Copy !req
284. "nice" seems like the wrong word.Copy !req
285. It is nice.Copy !req
286. It's a different facet of you all,
I suppose.Copy !req
287. Like this book.Copy !req
288. - Oh?
- Yes.Copy !req
289. It's a magical work, but it's also...Copy !req
290. how to describe it?Copy !req
291. Vampire philosophy. It's fascinating.Copy !req
292. So now we're not all monsters?Copy !req
293. Oh, I didn't say that.Copy !req
294. Go on, admit it.Copy !req
295. I admit there seems to be more...Copy !req
296. depth to...Copy !req
297. what would you call it?Copy !req
298. Vampire culture? Than I thought.Copy !req
299. There are ideas in here
about physical presence in the world,Copy !req
300. the importance of soil and landscapeCopy !req
301. and... being.Copy !req
302. I mean, actual philosophy.
Amazing.Copy !req
303. Well, good.Copy !req
304. Then I have a philosophical question
for you.Copy !req
305. All right.Copy !req
306. It's hard to do diplomacy
when the other person is in a cage.Copy !req
307. I can't disagree.Copy !req
308. Diplomacy is compromise.Copy !req
309. I get something, you get something.Copy !req
310. Neither of us get everything we want,
but we both leave happy.Copy !req
311. - You have my attention.
- But you...Copy !req
312. you don't even get to leave!Copy !req
313. You haven't got anything!Copy !req
314. I have all the power,
and you're a pretty man in a box.Copy !req
315. I'm... I'm pretty?Copy !req
316. It just doesn't seem fair.Copy !req
317. What's happening?Copy !req
318. I've been awake all day
thinking about it.Copy !req
319. You. Down here.Copy !req
320. What's the question, Lenore?Copy !req
321. What do you want?Copy !req
322. I want to be let out.Copy !req
323. I know.Copy !req
324. That's all I can think of.Copy !req
325. It's the only thing I can do for you.Copy !req
326. But you're not just gonna let me out.Copy !req
327. Well... no.Copy !req
328. I'm loyal to my sisters.Copy !req
329. To just fling open the door and say,
"Fly, be free, pretty human boy"?Copy !req
330. That... That would be a direct betrayal.Copy !req
331. Come and sit down.Copy !req
332. Also, you'd survive
less than a day on your own.Copy !req
333. That's not true.Copy !req
334. Well, OK, that's completely trueCopy !req
335. and I would die almost immediately.Copy !req
336. You only have one advantage
in this whole negotiation.Copy !req
337. I'm not sure it's an advantage.Copy !req
338. I like you.Copy !req
339. Uh, that wasn't what
I was expecting to hear.Copy !req
340. Well, what did you think
your advantage was?Copy !req
341. You want me to do my human magicCopy !req
342. to give Carmilla an army of monsters.Copy !req
343. Oh, that.Copy !req
344. I was eavesdropping
on Morana and Striga during the day.Copy !req
345. They can buy mercenaries
to fill out the army.Copy !req
346. I don't understand. Carmilla's given up?Copy !req
347. She gets distracted.Copy !req
348. She calls it the burden of genius.Copy !req
349. We could run out on her this morning
and she wouldn't notice for days.Copy !req
350. I'm loyal to my sisters...Copy !req
351. but what we're doing is wrong.Copy !req
352. We could just leave, Hector.Copy !req
353. If you want to be with me.Copy !req
354. I was wondering...Copy !req
355. how does someone
open the Infinite Corridor?Copy !req
356. It's an appalling act of will.Copy !req
357. A combination of ancient knowledge
and sacrificing something of your soul.Copy !req
358. And it's still impossible to control
with any accuracy.Copy !req
359. But you can do it.Copy !req
360. It took me a year to recover
from the last time I did it.Copy !req
361. And we're sure the monks don't know
an entrance to the Corridor is down there?Copy !req
362. Absolutely.
It's invisible to the human eye.Copy !req
363. It's why I need the jewel.Copy !req
364. I think we've made a terrible mistake.Copy !req
365. Sala!Copy !req
366. Prior Sala!Copy !req
367. When you were a simple man of the church,Copy !req
368. I tolerated your hold on my people.Copy !req
369. When you became a mad hermit who
shunned my people, I tolerated you still.Copy !req
370. No more.Copy !req
371. You will vacate the priory.
Throw your weapons out as you exit.Copy !req
372. Sala! I know you have
deconsecrated the priory.Copy !req
373. God is no longer in that house.Copy !req
374. You enjoy no protection.Copy !req
375. Out! All of you! Now!Copy !req
376. Or we come for you, Sala!Copy !req
377. It is time.Copy !req
