1. Who's a pretty girl, then?
Copy !req
2. Who's a pretty girl?
Copy !req
3. That's right.
Copy !req
4. You are.
Copy !req
5. What are you looking at?
Copy !req
6. He told us to place possessions
Copy !req
7. to aid later identification
if need be.
Copy !req
8. I needed to see
if it still worked.
Copy !req
9. I'm going to see Isaac.
Copy !req
10. - No!
Copy !req
11. I'm not taking it with me.
Copy !req
12. May I ask you a question?
Copy !req
13. Of course.
Copy !req
14. What are we doing here?
Copy !req
15. That is a very broad question.
Copy !req
16. Be more specific.
Copy !req
17. Sit.
Copy !req
18. I do not need to tell you
Copy !req
19. what night creatures are,
forgemaster.
Copy !req
20. You can call me Isaac.
Copy !req
21. Would you like a berry?
Copy !req
22. Case in point.
Copy !req
23. I am a night creature.
Copy !req
24. I eat blood and meat.
Copy !req
25. A berry would probably
not kill you.
Copy !req
26. Night creatures kill,
Copy !req
27. destroy and despoil.
Copy !req
28. It is our pleasure.
Copy !req
29. Night creatures do the will
of their forgemasters.
Copy !req
30. Then perhaps I simply
don't understand your will.
Copy !req
31. You have us burying people.
Copy !req
32. The city was littered with dead.
Copy !req
33. Too many of them
were too decayed
Copy !req
34. to be converted by magic.
Copy !req
35. So?
Copy !req
36. So they need to be buried.
Copy !req
37. You are not a fool.
Copy !req
38. Insects and diseases
would breed.
Copy !req
39. And I would remind you
that everyone here was a victim.
Copy !req
40. They deserve a burial.
Copy !req
41. Then why do we care
Copy !req
42. about insects and diseases?
Copy !req
43. Ask your question.
Copy !req
44. We kill, destroy and despoil.
Copy !req
45. You have us burying
the rotten dead
Copy !req
46. and rebuilding
and repairing this place.
Copy !req
47. Why do you have us going against
our nature?
Copy !req
48. Your nature is fluid.
Copy !req
49. You believe you are tools
of destruction
Copy !req
50. only because this is how
your kind have always been used.
Copy !req
51. Have a berry.
Copy !req
52. Memories.
Copy !req
53. It's not blood or meat,
Copy !req
54. but you don't appear
to have died from it.
Copy !req
55. I'll answer your question.
Copy !req
56. This city was once home
to many hundreds of people,
Copy !req
57. perhaps more.
Copy !req
58. It could be resettled,
Copy !req
59. once the bodies are buried,
Copy !req
60. the debris is disposed of
and the structures are repaired.
Copy !req
61. We will be moving on soon.
Copy !req
62. After we are gone,
Copy !req
63. the city will be here
for people to find
Copy !req
64. and make homes in.
Copy !req
65. Would you like another berry?
Copy !req
66. I think so.
Copy !req
67. Take one.
Copy !req
68. You see, you can use a hammer
to build a house
Copy !req
69. or crack a skull.
Copy !req
70. You are returned
to earth as tools,
Copy !req
71. and I will use tools as I wish.
Copy !req
72. So many memories.
Copy !req
73. I can also choose, in the end,
Copy !req
74. to recognize that you are not
tools at all.
Copy !req
75. For no tool would taste a berry
Copy !req
76. and remember the time
in its first life
Copy !req
77. when it encountered them.
Copy !req
78. But we are creatures of hell...
Copy !req
79. to be commanded to fight.
Copy !req
80. One day, hell will be emptied
Copy !req
81. and its doors will rattle
in the wind.
Copy !req
82. What?
Copy !req
83. Through my hand,
Copy !req
84. God lifts the damned from hell
in his mercy
Copy !req
85. to enact their penance
on the Earth as my soldiers.
Copy !req
86. - Yes.
- Should their penance on Earth
Copy !req
87. be eternal too?
Copy !req
88. I...
Copy !req
89. do not know.
Copy !req
90. Neither do I.
Copy !req
91. We should find out together.
Copy !req
92. In the meantime,
Copy !req
93. we can both do a little more
Copy !req
94. than what we were
intended for.
Copy !req
95. May I make an observation?
Copy !req
96. You may.
Copy !req
97. You are changing.
Copy !req
98. There is still revenge in you,
I think.
Copy !req
99. But other things, too.
Copy !req
100. Perhaps.
Copy !req
101. Are we still fighting, Isaac?
Copy !req
102. We're always fighting
for something.
Copy !req
103. But I take your meaning.
Copy !req
104. Soon.
Copy !req
105. He might have a point.
Copy !req
106. What do you think?
Copy !req
107. It took me a few weeks
Copy !req
108. to transform the viable bodies
in the city.
Copy !req
109. Weeks more to effect repairs
and bury those
Copy !req
110. too destroyed to convert.
Copy !req
111. Is it so bad to take my time
Copy !req
112. and think for a moment?
Copy !req
113. Have I changed?
Copy !req
114. Go on, say something.
Copy !req
115. I killed you, old wizard.
Copy !req
116. You must have an opinion
on that.
Copy !req
117. No?
Copy !req
118. I have killed many people,
old wizard, for many reasons.
Copy !req
119. But killing you felt just.
Copy !req
120. It felt like repairing the world
a little.
Copy !req
121. I liked that feeling.
Copy !req
122. For a long time,
Copy !req
123. I was content to be the knife
that others wielded.
Copy !req
124. But lately, old wizard,
Copy !req
125. I have felt more like the hand
than the knife.
Copy !req
126. My whole life,
I have reacted to things.
Copy !req
127. Rarely acted.
Copy !req
128. So, yes,
Copy !req
129. I have changed.
Copy !req
130. I have agency in this world.
Copy !req
131. I can create futures.
Copy !req
132. And, happily,
I could create a future
Copy !req
133. and end yours at the same time.
Copy !req
134. God is good.
Copy !req
135. I wonder what I will do next.
Copy !req
136. Mirror.
Copy !req
137. What is this?
Copy !req
138. Sir Mirror.
Copy !req
139. What are you doing?
Copy !req
140. And who might you be?
Copy !req
141. Do you not remember me?
Copy !req
142. You do not look memorable.
Copy !req
143. Varney.
Copy !req
144. Varney of Dracula's
original cohort.
Copy !req
145. I left for Targoviste
early in the campaign.
Copy !req
146. Why are you connecting
to my mirror, Varney?
Copy !req
147. I have spoken with people
who marked your passage
Copy !req
148. across the land.
Copy !req
149. You have done great work, sir.
Copy !req
150. My question is pending.
Copy !req
151. I am working to bring about
Copy !req
152. Dracula's return from the dead,
Isaac Forgemaster.
Copy !req
153. How very interesting.
Copy !req
154. It's more than that.
Copy !req
155. I've been speaking
with magicians and scholars
Copy !req
156. across the land.
Copy !req
157. Both vampire and human.
Copy !req
158. Working together to collect
ancient spells and lore.
Copy !req
159. Constructing a system
Copy !req
160. with which to pluck Dracula
from hell
Copy !req
161. and reinstall him
in the world with power.
Copy !req
162. To what end?
Copy !req
163. He has unfinished business, sir.
Copy !req
164. He owes us death.
Copy !req
165. Death in volumes unprecedented.
Copy !req
166. His great work remains
incomplete.
Copy !req
167. So does mine, Varney.
Copy !req
168. Well, is yours as important
Copy !req
169. as the extinction of the race
that killed his wife?
Copy !req
170. The race that you yourself hate?
Copy !req
171. It is to me.
Copy !req
172. Afterwards, we will see.
Copy !req
173. I expected better than that of
Dracula's favored forgemaster.
Copy !req
174. Then, come daylight,
Copy !req
175. you can wriggle in your little
coffin with disappointment.
Copy !req
176. But do it quietly, as I do not
wish to hear your voice again
Copy !req
177. until my own task is complete.
Copy !req
178. Sir Mirror,
Copy !req
179. do not allow this one
to call me again,
Copy !req
180. and go to sleep.
Copy !req
181. Fuck you...
Copy !req
182. Ugh! He cut me off!
Copy !req
183. I think you bored him.
Copy !req
184. Doesn't he know who I am?
Copy !req
185. Oh, for God's sake.
Copy !req
186. I'm Varney. Varney of London.
Since before it was London.
Copy !req
187. I was mighty when London
was a Roman ghost town
Copy !req
188. and we still marked our borders
out with human skulls.
Copy !req
189. Fuck him.
Copy !req
190. We'll do it without him.
Copy !req
191. I changed my mind.
Copy !req
192. Have soldiers carry me around
the countryside on a bed.
Copy !req
193. I was making a joke.
Copy !req
194. I don't care. Do it.
Copy !req
195. Everything hurts.
Copy !req
196. Well, this isn't so bad.
Copy !req
197. We've been out here for weeks.
Copy !req
198. I don't want to know
how it can get worse.
Copy !req
199. - Well, it—
- I said I don't want to know.
Copy !req
200. I don't want to hear
any more of your stories
Copy !req
201. about saddle boils
and eating rats.
Copy !req
202. All right, all right, but did I
tell you about the time
Copy !req
203. I saw 18 squirrels murder a dog?
Copy !req
204. Stop.
Copy !req
205. In the name of God, stop.
Copy !req
206. Here. Dull the pain.
Copy !req
207. This is all wrong.
Copy !req
208. I love you, but, really,
Copy !req
209. I'm ready to put you
on a wagon home.
Copy !req
210. No.
Copy !req
211. This.
Copy !req
212. We've been touring—
Copy !req
213. Not even the entire territory
Camilla marked out,
Copy !req
214. just a piece of it.
Copy !req
215. —for weeks.
Copy !req
216. And this is all wrong.
Copy !req
217. All right.
Copy !req
218. Explain yourself, woman.
Copy !req
219. I have no particular love
for humans.
Copy !req
220. There's a food chain,
and we're on top.
Copy !req
221. Humans are pigs with shoes,
Copy !req
222. and they don't cry
when they want bacon.
Copy !req
223. I am not sad when I turn
humans into food.
Copy !req
224. Understood?
Copy !req
225. Spit it out, Morana.
Copy !req
226. Directly say
what you're thinking,
Copy !req
227. or you'll tie yourself up
in knots.
Copy !req
228. God.
Copy !req
229. I have lived with you
for too long.
Copy !req
230. Okay, is there a swift
and merciful way
Copy !req
231. for us to take control
of all the designated territory
Copy !req
232. between the castle and the sea?
Copy !req
233. You mean, snap my fingers
and it's all done?
Copy !req
234. No, of course not.
Copy !req
235. Of course not.
Copy !req
236. It will be hard-fought,
mile by mile, right?
Copy !req
237. Well, let's not make it
sound desperate.
Copy !req
238. But it won't be simple.
Copy !req
239. No.
Copy !req
240. There will be suffering.
Copy !req
241. It's war, Morana.
There's always suffering.
Copy !req
242. It's not war.
Copy !req
243. There are no two sides to this.
Copy !req
244. It's a rolling invasion
Copy !req
245. and entrapment of hundreds
of thousands of humans.
Copy !req
246. Humans who are, sadly,
cleverer than pigs
Copy !req
247. and will fight and suffer
and fear and run.
Copy !req
248. Then I choose a different word.
Copy !req
249. It's "battle."
Copy !req
250. I came out here with you
Copy !req
251. because I wanted to see
for myself
Copy !req
252. the logistical challenges
to the plan.
Copy !req
253. And I told you,
you didn't have to.
Copy !req
254. I'd survey the theater
of combat
Copy !req
255. and let you know what I needed.
Copy !req
256. Also...
Copy !req
257. you're the one who asked me
Copy !req
258. if I wanted to command
an empire.
Copy !req
259. Yes. I know.
Copy !req
260. It made a lot more sense
back home.
Copy !req
261. Focus, Morana.
Copy !req
262. Don't talk down to me
because I am not a soldier.
Copy !req
263. This is going to be
a horrifying mess
Copy !req
264. that we will be dealing with
till the end of our days,
Copy !req
265. and it will cause more suffering
than history has yet seen!
Copy !req
266. Don't condescend to me
because I am a soldier.
Copy !req
267. I win wars.
Copy !req
268. Are you suddenly doubting me
after all this time,
Copy !req
269. because your legs are sore
from living my life?
Copy !req
270. Are you ready to fight
the same war over and over again
Copy !req
271. for the rest of your life?
Copy !req
272. You want to know what I think?
Copy !req
273. Always.
Copy !req
274. I think that whatever
we achieve,
Copy !req
275. we achieve it together.
Copy !req
276. You and me.
Copy !req
277. Carmilla throws
a crazy plan at us,
Copy !req
278. and it's us who make it work.
Copy !req
279. Or, put another way,
Copy !req
280. we make it work
despite Carmilla.
Copy !req
281. And Lenore's never
any bloody help.
Copy !req
282. She's off with the fairies
most of the time.
Copy !req
283. It's us.
Copy !req
284. And the crazy plan
makes sense back home because,
Copy !req
285. I don't know,
Copy !req
286. Carmilla has this magic
reality distortion spell,
Copy !req
287. and we pride ourselves
on making things work.
Copy !req
288. But we've been out here
for weeks,
Copy !req
289. away from her and her madness,
and I'm telling you—
Copy !req
290. What's happening?
Copy !req
291. It's an attack.
Copy !req
292. At dawn.
Copy !req
293. They know what we are.
Copy !req
294. And apparently
they're not stupid.
Copy !req
295. I need to get to my trunk.
Copy !req
296. That one?
Copy !req
297. You never open that.
Copy !req
298. What's in it?
Copy !req
299. Day armor.
Copy !req
300. Get in the trunk.
Copy !req
301. No.
Copy !req
302. Arrows can't pierce it
and light can't get in.
Copy !req
303. Get in the damn trunk, love.
Copy !req
304. Come on!
Copy !req
305. Burn them alive!
Copy !req
306. Right.
Copy !req
307. Come on!
Copy !req
308. Bring them out!
Copy !req
309. Over here, dogfuckers!
Copy !req
310. That's right!
Copy !req
311. Idiot fucking livestock.
Copy !req
312. Soldiers of Styria!
Copy !req
313. Armor up and cover your skin!
Copy !req
314. I take it we won.
Copy !req
315. Yes.
Copy !req
316. Good. I want to kill you myself.
Copy !req
317. Do you know what this thing
smells like?
Copy !req
318. They weren't fighters.
Copy !req
319. They were just people.
Copy !req
320. Villagers.
Copy !req
321. Farmers and the like.
Copy !req
322. I don't disagree with what
you said about Carmilla.
Copy !req
323. She's my dear friend,
Copy !req
324. but we both know
what she's like.
Copy !req
325. I did disagree about the war.
Copy !req
326. There's no battle I can't win
when I put my back into it
Copy !req
327. and I have you and your mind
beside me.
Copy !req
328. But...
Copy !req
329. I just fought fucking farmers.
Copy !req
330. Saw the fear in their eyes.
Copy !req
331. Not fear of dying.
Copy !req
332. Fear of not having fought.
Copy !req
333. Fear of not saving their people.
Copy !req
334. And we're in the middle
of a fucking field.
Copy !req
335. A hopeless battle theater.
Copy !req
336. Except this whole land
Copy !req
337. is nothing but fields
and forests.
Copy !req
338. But they did it anyway.
Copy !req
339. We'd never stop, would we?
Copy !req
340. Victory condition
is just fighting and holding
Copy !req
341. the whole insane structure
of her empire together
Copy !req
342. until I die of old age.
Copy !req
343. I want to be wrong.
Copy !req
344. I want you to be wrong.
Copy !req
345. - We could do it.
- We could.
Copy !req
346. But we'd be doing it forever.
Copy !req
347. You'd be out here
fighting forever.
Copy !req
348. I'd be back at Styria
Copy !req
349. trying to keep supply lines
intact forever.
Copy !req
350. And we'd never
see each other again.
Copy !req
351. I am sorry.
Copy !req
352. I want to be wrong.
Copy !req
353. We're in the cold light of day,
ha!
Copy !req
354. And Carmilla's grand plan...
Copy !req
355. The humans are going to fight
for their place in the world.
Copy !req
356. Constantly.
Copy !req
357. In the cold light of day,
Copy !req
358. I have to ask myself this.
Copy !req
359. Do I want this?
Copy !req
360. Do we want this...
Copy !req
361. when we can do so much else
together?
Copy !req
362. Sisters.
Copy !req
363. Hector is finally ready
Copy !req
364. to start making night creatures.
Copy !req
365. Come home. It begins.
Copy !req
366. It's worse than I could have
imagined.
Copy !req
367. And I've seen more than
a few wrecked towns in my life.
Copy !req
368. What I don't understand is...
Copy !req
369. Dracula hit it first,
when his wife died here, right?
Copy !req
370. But it's still infested with
vampires and night creatures.
Copy !req
371. What's their endgame here, hm?
Copy !req
372. What do they get?
Copy !req
373. These people never had a chance
to recover and rebuild.
Copy !req
374. It's awful.
Copy !req
375. And everything has led us here.
Copy !req
376. Which means we are here
for a reason.
Copy !req
377. Not sure how we fit into this.
Copy !req
378. Fit.
Copy !req
379. Hm.
Copy !req
380. Huh.
Copy !req
381. Hold on.
Copy !req
382. What is that thing?
Copy !req
383. Well, it can't be
what I think it is, but...
Copy !req
384. - Ah, there you are.
Copy !req
385. Getting a good look
at our fine city?
Copy !req
386. I'd rather get a good look
at your Underground Court.
Copy !req
387. Not yet.
Copy !req
388. I want to be certain
you can be trusted first.
Copy !req
389. That's good, because we want
to make sure
Copy !req
390. we can trust you first.
Copy !req
391. You forget who
you're speaking to.
Copy !req
392. We'd like some time
to look around.
Copy !req
393. You can find us again later,
I'm sure.
Copy !req
394. But we have important matters
to discuss.
Copy !req
395. Saving the city.
Restoring the throne.
Copy !req
396. Imposing order.
Copy !req
397. We have important matters
to discuss too.
Copy !req
398. In the meantime, we're going
to take a good long look
Copy !req
399. at how you've failed to do
any of that so far.
Copy !req
400. And whether we're going
to choose to help you.
Copy !req
401. She does need our help.
Copy !req
402. But I am sick of being a bit
player in someone else's story.
Copy !req
403. Walk away.
Copy !req
