1. The trick worked.
Copy !req
2. The stupid little trinkets
Copy !req
3. you found on that human body?
Copy !req
4. I think they steal things
from their own court,
Copy !req
5. carrying them as talismans
or some primitive shit.
Copy !req
6. The underground court
we've never been able to find.
Copy !req
7. I always wondered if they were
confusing our senses
Copy !req
8. with holy water.
Copy !req
9. And then some idiot shows up
Copy !req
10. with a divining set
around his neck,
Copy !req
11. probably thinking it would
make him resistant to swords.
Copy !req
12. There.
That's their underground court.
Copy !req
13. She took the tracking stone
right there.
Copy !req
14. My plan was magnificent.
Copy !req
15. It wasn't your plan.
Copy !req
16. It was my plan.
Copy !req
17. You just agreed to it.
Copy !req
18. Well, I gave my assent,
therefore it became my plan.
Copy !req
19. Be happy I even remember
you're here.
Copy !req
20. What did you just say to me?
Copy !req
21. You heard me.
Copy !req
22. Dracula sent me here.
Copy !req
23. I was to make Targoviste
a gift to him.
Copy !req
24. Now I will return him to earth
and present it to him.
Copy !req
25. You're just my little helper.
Copy !req
26. Fuck you to hell, Varney.
Copy !req
27. I am entirely fucking finished
Copy !req
28. with propping up
your delusional bullshit
Copy !req
29. just to get things done.
Copy !req
30. What?
Copy !req
31. I am a soldier.
Copy !req
32. I still do not know what
the fuck you are supposed to be.
Copy !req
33. I'm Varney of London,
you insolent Slavic pissflap.
Copy !req
34. You're a joke!
Copy !req
35. You're a shallow criminal
Copy !req
36. who somehow wormed your way
into Dracula's circle
Copy !req
37. a hundred years ago.
Copy !req
38. And then he sent you all the way
out here,
Copy !req
39. to the city he'd already burned.
Copy !req
40. How useful did he really think
you are?
Copy !req
41. That's...
Copy !req
42. That's not what happened.
Copy !req
43. Shut up.
Copy !req
44. Oh, Ratko, my boy,
you're a criminal too.
Copy !req
45. - I know you.
- You don't fucking know me.
Copy !req
46. I know you.
Copy !req
47. I smell the death on you.
Copy !req
48. You've committed crimes.
Copy !req
49. I've practiced war.
Copy !req
50. War is armies meeting each other
on the field of combat.
Copy !req
51. - That's not what you do.
- Right.
Copy !req
52. I'm a clever soldier.
Copy !req
53. I'm a committed soldier.
Copy !req
54. I don't go to pageants.
Copy !req
55. I don't play games.
Copy !req
56. Are you justifying yourself?
Copy !req
57. Eat shit. I fight wars.
Copy !req
58. You have no idea, do you?
Copy !req
59. War is when you kill so many
of the other side
Copy !req
60. that they can't fight you
anymore.
Copy !req
61. Prancing around on a meadow
isn't war.
Copy !req
62. Stealing into a tent
Copy !req
63. and cutting every throat
in sight is war.
Copy !req
64. Poisoning wells is war.
Copy !req
65. Killing every baby in a town
and disappearing, that's war.
Copy !req
66. War is for winning.
Copy !req
67. And tracking that lunatic down
into her secret rooms
Copy !req
68. and surprising them to death,
Copy !req
69. that's what I do.
Copy !req
70. That's what I did.
Copy !req
71. And you, standing there
flapping and posing.
Copy !req
72. You're everything I hate.
Copy !req
73. You vampires who think
it's all about wit.
Copy !req
74. I use the word loosely,
Copy !req
75. because you are a shithead
for the ages.
Copy !req
76. Being charming,
using clever words,
Copy !req
77. desperate for people
to admire you
Copy !req
78. because you're special.
Copy !req
79. Too much of the damaged,
needy human on you.
Copy !req
80. You're not a vampire.
Copy !req
81. I'm a fucking vampire.
Copy !req
82. I lie and I cheat,
Copy !req
83. because lying to pigs
is meaningless,
Copy !req
84. and I'm hungry.
Copy !req
85. I take everything anybody has,
Copy !req
86. every last fucking drop,
Copy !req
87. and then I hunt for more.
Copy !req
88. I am not a criminal.
Copy !req
89. I am fucking perfect.
Copy !req
90. Oh, dear, young man.
Copy !req
91. - Perfect?
- Perfect.
Copy !req
92. I was given to the Earth
Copy !req
93. to feed off everything on it
as I choose.
Copy !req
94. Well, let me tell you, Ratko,
Copy !req
95. you do not know what I am.
Copy !req
96. But I tolerate you precisely
because you're good at death.
Copy !req
97. It nourishes me.
Copy !req
98. Whatever.
Copy !req
99. You made me angry.
Copy !req
100. I don't like to be angry.
Copy !req
101. Whyever not?
Anger makes you kill, surely.
Copy !req
102. I bet you even kill
in your dreams.
Copy !req
103. In my dreams, I am calm.
Copy !req
104. I am nothing but motion,
and fear, and hunger,
Copy !req
105. and all the people in the world
Copy !req
106. are lined up like animals
in pens
Copy !req
107. for me to bite the blood from.
Copy !req
108. People forget what we are.
Copy !req
109. Where do you think you're going?
Copy !req
110. Well, you seem to have taken
over the effort aboveground.
Copy !req
111. And I have other things
to attend to.
Copy !req
112. Yeah. One thing in particular.
Copy !req
113. Look, we're done screwing
around.
Copy !req
114. You are going to show us
your fabled underground court.
Copy !req
115. And then we are going to get
this place in proper order,
Copy !req
116. defend the people
and clean out the city.
Copy !req
117. Are we clear?
Copy !req
118. I think it's time for you
to go to the Underground Court.
Copy !req
119. Yeah, isn't that what I just
said?
Copy !req
120. Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
121. I stopped listening
a second or two
Copy !req
122. after you started mewling
about what you want.
Copy !req
123. Then I decided it was time
for you to follow me.
Copy !req
124. Know your place.
Copy !req
125. Let's take a look
at this place first, hm?
Copy !req
126. Hm. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
127. Masterly, masterly.
Copy !req
128. What an awful bloody daub.
Copy !req
129. Nobody's going to miss that.
Copy !req
130. I have the location,
Copy !req
131. and I am preparing the way.
Copy !req
132. It is the time for accuracy,
excellence,
Copy !req
133. and whatever passes for courage
in you people.
Copy !req
134. Hm.
Copy !req
135. Boo.
Copy !req
136. That was nice of you.
Copy !req
137. I didn't realize
anyone was watching.
Copy !req
138. I was looking for you.
Copy !req
139. Imagine my surprise when you
dropped out of the sky
Copy !req
140. and frightened a year's growth
out of the little bastards.
Copy !req
141. Sorry.
Copy !req
142. No, really.
Copy !req
143. It was nice of you.
Copy !req
144. They don't all have an adult
Copy !req
145. who'll pay any attention
at all to them.
Copy !req
146. Let alone plummet down on them
Copy !req
147. like death from above,
I suppose.
Copy !req
148. You gave them a story
they'll be telling forever.
Copy !req
149. I heard them laughing.
Copy !req
150. Hm.
Copy !req
151. It's been a while
since children laughed here.
Copy !req
152. You were looking for me?
Copy !req
153. I wanted to talk to you
about defenses.
Copy !req
154. And I wanted to ask
about your food supplies.
Copy !req
155. I'm not sure there's much.
Copy !req
156. Well, that's the thing.
Copy !req
157. I was hoping we could use
some of the dried meat you have
Copy !req
158. to make meals go a little further?
Copy !req
159. Use it all.
Copy !req
160. Seriously?
Copy !req
161. Whatever you can find.
Copy !req
162. I tended to forage fresh food
in the mornings,
Copy !req
163. but I'm sure I have
some preserved things
Copy !req
164. in the pantries.
Copy !req
165. You don't actually know what
you've got in your castle, do you?
Copy !req
166. Not really.
Copy !req
167. It looks like you were feeding
an army in there
Copy !req
168. up until a couple of months ago.
Copy !req
169. Well...
Copy !req
170. that wasn't me.
Copy !req
171. But I take your point.
Copy !req
172. I've been preoccupied.
Copy !req
173. Beyond clearing up
some of the damage from...
Copy !req
174. Let's talk about something else.
Copy !req
175. Defenses.
Copy !req
176. I mean, I hope just closing
your castle doors
Copy !req
177. will keep people away, but...
Copy !req
178. We're going to start
losing the light soon.
Copy !req
179. Let me show you
where the weapons are kept...
Copy !req
180. and then we'll look
at the outside.
Copy !req
181. We remember Radu the Black.
Copy !req
182. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
183. Wait here.
Copy !req
184. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
185. I know.
Copy !req
186. This is horrible.
Copy !req
187. Yeah, but that's not
what I meant.
Copy !req
188. Huh?
Copy !req
189. Can't be.
Copy !req
190. You found a new toy?
Copy !req
191. I don't know.
Copy !req
192. Not a toy.
Copy !req
193. What on earth is it?
Copy !req
194. Well, the story goes that a mad
Norwegian vampire hunter
Copy !req
195. went to India,
Copy !req
196. and he convinced the weapons
master of the Raja-Putra clans
Copy !req
197. to make him this thing.
Copy !req
198. There's only one.
Copy !req
199. I saw drawings of it
in my mother's books.
Copy !req
200. The real question is
how it ended up here.
Copy !req
201. See? Sign of the cross.
Copy !req
202. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
203. Did the vampire hunter
die in India?
Copy !req
204. Because Hindu vampires
wouldn't have the faintest idea
Copy !req
205. why he was waving a cross
at them.
Copy !req
206. Actually, no.
Copy !req
207. Vampires are basically
an evolved predator species,
Copy !req
208. so their eyesight
is pretty different to ours.
Copy !req
209. Turns out that if you put
a big geometric shape
Copy !req
210. right up close in their
field of vision,
Copy !req
211. it confuses the shit out
of their brains
Copy !req
212. and, you know, makes them panic.
Copy !req
213. Huh. How do you even know that?
Copy !req
214. Yeah, I learned
all kinds of things
Copy !req
215. when I was going to be a heroic
monster hunter, remember?
Copy !req
216. And then all the shit happened,
Copy !req
217. and bit by bit I suppose
I lost it all.
Copy !req
218. And now I'm starting
to pick it all up again.
Copy !req
219. The question is,
Copy !req
220. if you're keeping
stuff like this down here,
Copy !req
221. then why aren't you using it
up there?
Copy !req
222. Because your betters wish it so.
Copy !req
223. Then it's time I meet them.
Copy !req
224. Are they through there?
Copy !req
225. Oh, I didn't say
you could meet them.
Copy !req
226. They're resting.
Copy !req
227. Yeah, well, time to stop
sleeping through all this.
Copy !req
228. Look into my eyes.
Copy !req
229. Do you really,
really want to make my life
Copy !req
230. any more annoying right now, hm?
Copy !req
231. Wakey wakey,
you shower of assholes.
Copy !req
232. You cannot speak to them like that.
Copy !req
233. Well, I see why
Copy !req
234. they're so remarkably
unconcerned about everything.
Copy !req
235. Keep your voice down.
Copy !req
236. Why?
They're not going to wake up.
Copy !req
237. The others here don't understand
about the royal sleep.
Copy !req
238. Oh.
Copy !req
239. Yeah.
Copy !req
240. Zamfir, these two need
to be laid to rest.
Copy !req
241. This is just wrong.
Copy !req
242. Do you have a priest?
Copy !req
243. No priests.
Copy !req
244. Zamfir, listen to me.
Copy !req
245. This is over.
Copy !req
246. It will never be over.
Copy !req
247. The apocalypse
will never claim us.
Copy !req
248. The catastrophe of Targoviste
will never happen again.
Copy !req
249. We killed all the priests,
you see.
Copy !req
250. Really.
Copy !req
251. We are taking back control
of our country.
Copy !req
252. Targoviste isn't a country.
Copy !req
253. It's the beating heart
of the country.
Copy !req
254. Not even a city.
Copy !req
255. It's the greatest city
in the world.
Copy !req
256. We are its stewards.
Copy !req
257. - We're taking back control.
- Control? Yes.
Copy !req
258. Letting your people starve
Copy !req
259. and swim around
in their own shit.
Copy !req
260. Not helping them organize.
Copy !req
261. Not helping them
defend themselves.
Copy !req
262. I haven't been wiping
their asses either.
Copy !req
263. Should I nip back up there
with some rags?
Copy !req
264. You could try giving them the aid
Copy !req
265. to live their damn lives.
Copy !req
266. Look!
Copy !req
267. We've taken so many people in
down here.
Copy !req
268. Yes, you've made
an interesting collection
Copy !req
269. of people who are clearly
dying of neglect.
Copy !req
270. We neglect no one
in the Underground Court.
Copy !req
271. These people have cracked lips,
Copy !req
272. and you have flowing water
back there.
Copy !req
273. We need that. For defense.
Copy !req
274. Holy water.
Copy !req
275. Where did you get it
if you killed all the priests?
Copy !req
276. We recovered it from intact
religious buildings.
Copy !req
277. Do you know some of them used
to cask and bottle
Copy !req
278. holy water to sell?
Copy !req
279. You could have used it to give
people something to drink.
Copy !req
280. The court must be defended.
Copy !req
281. What if we'd let people
drink it all,
Copy !req
282. and then vampires
crossed empty channels
Copy !req
283. to enter the court
and kill everybody?
Copy !req
284. Sure. You couldn't risk
letting vampires in.
Copy !req
285. They might have tidied up.
Copy !req
286. Oh, that doesn't even work.
Copy !req
287. And you're defending
two dead bodies.
Copy !req
288. They will wake.
Copy !req
289. Their majesties will awaken
from their royal sleep
Copy !req
290. and save us all.
Copy !req
291. You're insane.
Copy !req
292. Of course I'm insane.
Copy !req
293. The fuck what now?
Copy !req
294. I went insane the day Dracula
hit the city.
Copy !req
295. I saw his face in the sky.
Copy !req
296. It was like the devil himself
punched the world.
Copy !req
297. How could you not
lose your mind,
Copy !req
298. seeing hell touch your home?
Copy !req
299. I sleep for two hours a night
and wake up screaming
Copy !req
300. ever since it happened.
Copy !req
301. So you're not so crazy that you
don't know you're crazy?
Copy !req
302. They will wake.
Copy !req
303. They are magicians.
Copy !req
304. They are royal blood.
Copy !req
305. They journey
in the subtle realms
Copy !req
306. to recover their strength,
Copy !req
307. and I have to defend them
until then.
Copy !req
308. I get it now.
Copy !req
309. You have been suffering for so long.
Copy !req
310. Were you the last person
of noble birth left alive
Copy !req
311. when Dracula struck?
Copy !req
312. I am not suffering.
Copy !req
313. This is the great work.
Copy !req
314. This is my glorious duty.
Copy !req
315. I will save everyone
by saving them.
Copy !req
316. Huh.
Copy !req
317. Well, no wonder they broke it
into pieces.
Copy !req
318. Did you drag them out
of the ruins of their palace?
Copy !req
319. It was my job. I saved them.
Copy !req
320. They will wake.
Copy !req
321. They will save us all.
Copy !req
322. And everything will be set right.
Copy !req
323. Everything will be as it was.
Copy !req
324. They are magicians, Sypha.
Copy !req
325. Are they?
Copy !req
326. The priest class
always suspected it.
Copy !req
327. They harried the royal family.
Can you believe it? But look.
Copy !req
328. Look at all the things
we recovered from their palace.
Copy !req
329. Behold their mystical treasures.
Copy !req
330. I saved them.
So they will save me.
Copy !req
331. Are you done farting around
over there?
Copy !req
332. I don't know who taught you
all these words, but yeah.
Copy !req
333. Okay. Good.
Copy !req
334. I am truly sorry for everything
that has happened to you.
Copy !req
335. But all this has to stop now.
Copy !req
336. W-What?
Copy !req
337. We need to get
these people help.
Copy !req
338. We need to arm the healthy ones
Copy !req
339. with the weapons you have
down here.
Copy !req
340. We need to abandon this space,
organize and—
Copy !req
341. Abandon?
Copy !req
342. Abandon the royal family?
Copy !req
343. This is a mess.
Copy !req
344. You did the best you could,
but your rulers are dead
Copy !req
345. and the people need you.
Copy !req
346. No. I saved them.
Copy !req
