1. What the fuck is going on?
Copy !req
2. What is this?
Copy !req
3. Are these Hector's night creatures?
Copy !req
4. - No.
Copy !req
5. Come on then.
Copy !req
6. We're under attack?
Copy !req
7. By night creatures.
Hundreds of them.
Copy !req
8. Well, there's only one person
that could be.
Copy !req
9. We need to get you out of here.
Copy !req
10. And go where?
Copy !req
11. Somewhere safe.
I can't have you in harm's way.
Copy !req
12. I'm sorry, Lenore.
Copy !req
13. I honestly am.
Copy !req
14. But this is right where I need to be.
Copy !req
15. Dantalion Presidio.
Copy !req
16. Hector, what are you doing?
Copy !req
17. I'm a wizard, remember?
Copy !req
18. Not to be trusted.
Copy !req
19. That was a very clever trick
that we don't have time for.
Copy !req
20. Never enough time in the end,
is there?
Copy !req
21. But time enough, I hope.
Copy !req
22. I don't have much time.
Copy !req
23. The calculations look correct,
Copy !req
24. but you want a second
gating mark to control the flow.
Copy !req
25. And don't trust Varney.
Good luck.
Copy !req
26. - If you'll excuse me...
- Ah...
Copy !req
27. I have to go and get killed now.
Copy !req
28. What the hell was that?
Copy !req
29. The mirror?
Copy !req
30. I got it from one of the mad
vampire wizards
Copy !req
31. you keep in the dungeons.
Copy !req
32. They're really very easily bribed.
Copy !req
33. I mean, and you know I mean,
what did you just do?
Copy !req
34. Oh. That.
Copy !req
35. Well, I've been conferring
Copy !req
36. with fellow scholars
on a way to bring Dracula back.
Copy !req
37. It seemed only fair,
Copy !req
38. since I got him killed in the first place.
Copy !req
39. And I laid a few traps
in here during the month,
Copy !req
40. because, well, you never know
Copy !req
41. when you're going to need
a good cage, do you?
Copy !req
42. You've gone mad.
Copy !req
43. I've been mad.
Copy !req
44. This doesn't feel like that.
Copy !req
45. Maybe I've gone sane.
Copy !req
46. And here we are.
Copy !req
47. Hector.
Copy !req
48. Isaac.
Copy !req
49. Leave her alone.
Copy !req
50. Is this not one of Carmilla's
ruling council?
Copy !req
51. If you're here to kill me, kill me.
Copy !req
52. But leave her alone.
She is not the threat here.
Copy !req
53. Are you the threat, Hector?
Copy !req
54. No.
Copy !req
55. Carmilla is.
Copy !req
56. Isaac, I've taken steps
to return Dracula to life.
Copy !req
57. I've done my part to atone
for all that has happened.
Copy !req
58. I'm done.
Copy !req
59. Take your revenge.
Copy !req
60. I hold no malice.
Copy !req
61. I am not here to kill you.
Copy !req
62. What?
Copy !req
63. You and I, Hector,
we have been children.
Copy !req
64. Revenge is for children.
Copy !req
65. It is our duty to grow up,
don't you think?
Copy !req
66. I...
Copy !req
67. I've tried to.
Copy !req
68. Good.
Copy !req
69. It is time to find our own way.
Copy !req
70. But I will ask a favor.
Copy !req
71. Yes?
Copy !req
72. This place has many
of your night creatures.
Copy !req
73. Command them to stand down.
Copy !req
74. Ha.
Copy !req
75. I can't.
Copy !req
76. Ah.
Copy !req
77. Yes. Command and control flows
through me to Lenore here
Copy !req
78. and to her friends.
Copy !req
79. Hold on.
Copy !req
80. I used debris
from broken hammers
Copy !req
81. to make this while nobody
was looking.
Copy !req
82. I've been putting down
fenceposts for an escape channel
Copy !req
83. all through the castle
for weeks.
Copy !req
84. How far will this channel
take me?
Copy !req
85. All the way up
to Carmilla's chambers.
Copy !req
86. I had to assume I might be running
Copy !req
87. from the top of the castle one day.
Copy !req
88. Place your intent upon it.
Copy !req
89. The command is "Ba'al Initium."
Copy !req
90. You have been busy.
Copy !req
91. Well, I needed a way out.
Copy !req
92. Carmilla intends to actually,
literally rule the world,
Copy !req
93. and I suspect the world
would find that bad for its health.
Copy !req
94. This one stays safe with me.
Copy !req
95. Carmilla, on the other hand,
should probably meet you.
Copy !req
96. I tend to agree.
Copy !req
97. But even if this device works,
Copy !req
98. it would take time to fight
through the creatures
Copy !req
99. you've made for her.
Copy !req
100. Can I borrow your knife?
Copy !req
101. I just cut off
Carmilla's command and control
Copy !req
102. over the night creatures.
Copy !req
103. Makes them easier to pick off.
Copy !req
104. Thank you.
Copy !req
105. Just get it done.
Copy !req
106. Lady.
Copy !req
107. Fuck you!
Copy !req
108. He's going to murder Carmilla.
Copy !req
109. Yes, he is.
Copy !req
110. But not you.
Copy !req
111. Or me, it seems.
Copy !req
112. That was unexpected.
Copy !req
113. I don't really know what to do next.
Copy !req
114. Surround me!
Copy !req
115. Ba'al Initium.
Copy !req
116. Well done, Hector.
Copy !req
117. Is that Isaac?
Copy !req
118. The least interesting man
in Dracula's castle.
Copy !req
119. Hello, Carmilla.
Copy !req
120. Eat shit!
Copy !req
121. Is this about Dracula?
Copy !req
122. Hector's downstairs,
if you want someone to kill.
Copy !req
123. I've spoken to Hector.
Copy !req
124. Oh. I see.
Copy !req
125. The humans are sticking together.
Copy !req
126. I understand you have developed
some more ambitions.
Copy !req
127. I'm nothing but ambition.
Copy !req
128. I'm a queen.
Copy !req
129. This world belongs to me...
Copy !req
130. because the likes of you
never knew what to do with it!
Copy !req
131. I am not sure that
is the point of having a world.
Copy !req
132. What kind of druid bollocks is that?
Copy !req
133. An opinion I came to
after wandering the world
Copy !req
134. following your destruction of Dracula,
Copy !req
135. his army and his castle.
Copy !req
136. I never touched his fucking castle.
Copy !req
137. So you've personally come
to Styria to kill me,
Copy !req
138. is that it?
Copy !req
139. I think the world would be
a better place without you, yes.
Copy !req
140. You can't be trusted.
Copy !req
141. I would always fear you
and your ambitions.
Copy !req
142. So, yes, I'm very much afraid
I have to kill you.
Copy !req
143. Look at you all.
Copy !req
144. You're not big enough to kill me.
Copy !req
145. You're nothing.
Copy !req
146. You don't deserve my blood.
Copy !req
147. And when you die and go to hell,
Copy !req
148. I'll be there waiting for you...
Copy !req
149. with a sharp bloody stick
Copy !req
150. and the determination to find out
Copy !req
151. if you can die twice.
Copy !req
152. I am Carmilla of Styria,
Copy !req
153. and fuck you!
Copy !req
154. I win.
Copy !req
155. Did you feel that too?
Copy !req
156. Carmilla just died.
Copy !req
157. What do we do?
Copy !req
158. The castle is swarming
with night creatures.
Copy !req
159. Hector's monsters?
Copy !req
160. Not unless he could make
hundreds in a few days.
Copy !req
161. An invasion, and...
Copy !req
162. and they killed our Carmilla.
Copy !req
163. Do you think Lenore...?
Copy !req
164. If Carmilla is dead,
Copy !req
165. then Lenore certainly died first.
Copy !req
166. Should we retake the castle?
Copy !req
167. We don't know
what we'd be riding into.
Copy !req
168. I don't know if I have enough soldiers.
Copy !req
169. We can try.
Copy !req
170. But should we?
Copy !req
171. It's over, isn't it?
Copy !req
172. No. Not for us.
Copy !req
173. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
174. The cities of the west sold me
Copy !req
175. quite a lot of soldiers
to guard Styria in our absence.
Copy !req
176. I presume they're all dead up there.
Copy !req
177. In a newly uncertain world,
Copy !req
178. those cities won't be fussy
about where they take
Copy !req
179. temporary reinforcements from.
Copy !req
180. It's simple commerce.
Copy !req
181. And after that?
Copy !req
182. What's the plan?
Copy !req
183. What if there isn't a plan?
Copy !req
184. What if it's just you and I?
Copy !req
185. I think...
Copy !req
186. I think I might be all right with that.
Copy !req
187. Carmilla had plans.
Copy !req
188. Vampires always have plans, don't we?
Copy !req
189. Maybe it's just in our nature
to overreach,
Copy !req
190. grasp at too much at once,
try to drink everything.
Copy !req
191. Maybe that's why, in the end,
Copy !req
192. we win all the battles
but always lose the war.
Copy !req
193. Striga...
Copy !req
194. you and I?
Copy !req
195. It's not like we ever really
needed anything else.
Copy !req
196. You and I forever.
Copy !req
197. We ride west!
Copy !req
198. Where's your vampire friend?
Copy !req
199. This structure has a basement.
She's down there for the moment.
Copy !req
200. How is your hand?
Copy !req
201. I may never play
the pipe organ again.
Copy !req
202. Did you ever?
Copy !req
203. No, but I might have wanted to.
Copy !req
204. Do we now ride to aid the return
of Dracula?
Copy !req
205. - No.
- What?
Copy !req
206. No.
Copy !req
207. But...
Copy !req
208. I've been working towards this
for weeks.
Copy !req
209. Of course you have.
Copy !req
210. You feel guilt.
Copy !req
211. You want redemption.
Copy !req
212. I want to mend my mistakes.
Copy !req
213. The mistakes you have suffered for.
Copy !req
214. That said, Hector,
Copy !req
215. you had no agency in those events.
Copy !req
216. You were manipulated.
Copy !req
217. You were used as a tool for leverage
Copy !req
218. by those who are truly responsible
Copy !req
219. for the end of Dracula.
Copy !req
220. You believe that?
Copy !req
221. I have had a lot of time
Copy !req
222. to put it all together
and think it all over.
Copy !req
223. Do you know, I've even
been talking to other people?
Copy !req
224. Actual living people?
Copy !req
225. Well...
Copy !req
226. mostly.
Copy !req
227. You've changed.
Copy !req
228. I hope so.
Copy !req
229. I believe you have as well.
Copy !req
230. Let him sleep, Hector.
Copy !req
231. We were both mistreated
by the human world.
Copy !req
232. We were both admirers
of Dracula's intellect.
Copy !req
233. We both saw something bigger
than ourselves in him.
Copy !req
234. We both wanted to see
the world punished.
Copy !req
235. We can do more than that.
Copy !req
236. Dracula earned his rest.
Copy !req
237. We can and should move forward.
Copy !req
238. What do you want, Hector?
Copy !req
239. I want to be left alone...
Copy !req
240. with Lenore.
Copy !req
241. I want to read, and make things,
and think.
Copy !req
242. That's all I really want now.
Copy !req
243. Then you shall have it.
Copy !req
244. What do you want, Isaac?
Copy !req
245. I have recently begun
to consider the future...
Copy !req
246. which has been a novelty for me,
Copy !req
247. because I never really thought I had one.
Copy !req
248. This is how they get us, Hector.
Copy !req
249. They convince us that there is no future.
Copy !req
250. There's only an eternal now...
Copy !req
251. and the best we can do
is survive until dawn
Copy !req
252. and then do it all again.
Copy !req
253. That's no way to live.
Copy !req
254. And I've discovered, to some surprise...
Copy !req
255. that I am interested in living.
Copy !req
256. I am interested
in building a way to live.
Copy !req
257. And I think I will start here.
Copy !req
258. I have come to wonder that perhaps Dracula
Copy !req
259. did not run things well.
Copy !req
260. Even before his wife died.
Copy !req
261. He lived in one long night,
and never the future.
Copy !req
262. I think perhaps he earned his rest...
Copy !req
263. and that we should not disturb it.
Copy !req
264. I will instead build something new
Copy !req
265. on all these old bones.
Copy !req
266. Something where people
can live for a future.
Copy !req
267. I'm going to live.
Copy !req
