1. This so-called Revolution,
Copy !req
2. it's not a struggle for the rights of man.
Copy !req
3. It's an abomination,
an affront to the natural order,
Copy !req
4. to common decency,
Copy !req
5. above all,
Copy !req
6. to God and his church.
Copy !req
7. My own holy order,
the Knights of Saint John,
Copy !req
8. founded to protect pilgrims
in the wars for the Holy Land,
Copy !req
9. has been commanded to submit
to the blasphemous, Godless state.
Copy !req
10. We would rather die.
Copy !req
11. But whatever atrocities
they commit
Copy !req
12. in the names of their sacrilegious future,
Copy !req
13. the days of this abomination
will soon be over.
Copy !req
14. A deliverer is at hand.
Copy !req
15. A new Joan of Arc,
Copy !req
16. a mighty warrior queen
to lead us to salvation.
Copy !req
17. She will raise
a holy army of the righteous
Copy !req
18. to crush the blasphemers.
Copy !req
19. In the name of God.
Copy !req
20. In the name of God.
Copy !req
21. Name your business
in the Commune of Paris.
Copy !req
22. This is Paris, is it?
Copy !req
23. What a dump.
Copy !req
24. I'm a representative of
the Insurrectionary Commune of Paris.
Copy !req
25. State your business.
Copy !req
26. I'm a representative too,
of the Messiah.
Copy !req
27. Religious orders need to register
with the National Convention.
Copy !req
28. Not that Messiah.
Copy !req
29. The real one.
Copy !req
30. I don't know if I should bury it.
Copy !req
31. Come on. I need help with breakfast.
Copy !req
32. I've heard about the revolution
in Saint-Domingue, of course,
Copy !req
33. but the Paris papers
only reach here sometimes,
Copy !req
34. and then about six months late.
Copy !req
35. So I know the slaves rose up,
burned all the sugar plantations,
Copy !req
36. and killed all the bastard slave owners.
Copy !req
37. Not quite all. One escaped.
Copy !req
38. Many white colonists were vampires.
Copy !req
39. The island was teeming
with all kinds of evil.
Copy !req
40. And it's not over yet, our revolution.
Copy !req
41. We're still fighting.
Copy !req
42. I'll call a meeting.
Copy !req
43. It will be so inspiring.
Copy !req
44. Representatives from another revolution.
Copy !req
45. - You were slaves then, were you?
- Annette was.
Copy !req
46. I was an opera singer.
Copy !req
47. Oh my God.
Copy !req
48. This bread.
Copy !req
49. We've been living off ship rations
for weeks.
Copy !req
50. If I never eat another strip
of dried meat for as long as I live…
Copy !req
51. Yeah, and fuck knows
what kind of meat it even is.
Copy !req
52. You've spent time on a ship?
Copy !req
53. I sailed here from Boston
when I was a boy.
Copy !req
54. - Worst few weeks of my life.
Copy !req
55. I didn't think it was humanly possible
to vomit so often.
Copy !req
56. Nor did I.
Copy !req
57. Annette found my suffering hilarious.
Copy !req
58. Everything's an opera,
even puking over the side of a ship.
Copy !req
59. Tell me what you know
about this Vampire Messiah.
Copy !req
60. In Saint-Domingue, there's a mambo,
a priestess, my teacher.
Copy !req
61. She's a powerful sorcerer and seer.
Copy !req
62. It was she who told me to find you.
Copy !req
63. And she knows
about this Messiah?
Copy !req
64. She said, "Something is changing
out here in the Old World."
Copy !req
65. For centuries, vampires have lived
coiled around the old houses of Europe,
Copy !req
66. like vines.
Copy !req
67. Close allies of the dukes and barons,
the principalities,
Copy !req
68. even the royal courts themselves.
Copy !req
69. That's amazing.
Copy !req
70. But many vampires resented
their reliance on human kings and princes.
Copy !req
71. This Messiah promises to make them
unquestioned masters of the world.
Copy !req
72. Won't that be fun.
Copy !req
73. They'll leave
the kings and princes in place,
Copy !req
74. but with vampires pulling the strings,
Copy !req
75. which means, first,
they need to crush the Revolution.
Copy !req
76. Oh, what a surprise.
Copy !req
77. The evil Messiah
is on the side of the old regime.
Copy !req
78. The priestess told me you could do magic.
Copy !req
79. I could when I was a kid.
Copy !req
80. What happened?
Copy !req
81. I don't know.
Copy !req
82. Never mind. We'll make do.
Copy !req
83. The Messiah was a monster
before she was a vampire.
Copy !req
84. She?
Copy !req
85. Even as a human, she tortured
and murdered young girls and boys.
Copy !req
86. What's her name?
The Vampire Messiah, do you know her name?
Copy !req
87. - Erzsebet Bathory.
Copy !req
88. Countess Erzsebet Bathory.
Copy !req
89. Mum, what's wrong?
Copy !req
90. Oh, no.
Copy !req
91. - Mum?
Copy !req
92. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
93. She'll do nicely.
Copy !req
94. The Messiah will be pleased.
Copy !req
95. I never really told you
why I fled from Russia.
Copy !req
96. You… said you had no choice.
Copy !req
97. That's true.
Copy !req
98. But I never really told you
who I had to leave behind.
Copy !req
99. I thought— I hoped…
Copy !req
100. that it was locked away in the past
and far away in the East…
Copy !req
101. and you were safe from it.
Copy !req
102. But of course you're not safe.
Copy !req
103. I was born 4,000 miles to the east,
in Russia,
Copy !req
104. by the banks of a great river.
Copy !req
105. People were poor, cruelly treated.
Copy !req
106. So, my family, a clan of Speakers,
Copy !req
107. settled there for a while
to help ease their suffering.
Copy !req
108. And for a while, we were free.
Copy !req
109. But, of course,
our freedom couldn't be tolerated.
Copy !req
110. So the soldiers came.
Copy !req
111. And not only soldiers.
There were vampires too.
Copy !req
112. None worse than Erzsebet Bathory
Copy !req
113. and her attack dog, Drolta Tzuentes.
Copy !req
114. So, you fled.
Copy !req
115. Not yet.
Copy !req
116. They captured my sister.
Copy !req
117. I didn't know you had a sister.
Copy !req
118. I tried to save her.
Copy !req
119. Erzsebet Bathory
doesn't simply kill her victims.
Copy !req
120. She tortures them
for as long as she can keep them alive.
Copy !req
121. Rejoices in the most terrible agony
she can inflict.
Copy !req
122. I fled…
Copy !req
123. …leaving her
and everyone I knew and loved.
Copy !req
124. West, and further west,
to places I didn't even know existed.
Copy !req
125. Until I finally found refuge here.
Copy !req
126. I should have told you before.
Copy !req
127. There are things
that I don't talk about either.
Copy !req
128. She will bring horror beyond nightmares.
Copy !req
129. Suffering and pain beyond endurance.
Copy !req
130. She won't want simply
to crush the Revolution,
Copy !req
131. she will want to drain it slowly of blood,
Copy !req
132. before she grinds its bones to dust.
Copy !req
133. But we will defeat her.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, don't you worry.
Copy !req
135. We're going to fucking kill her.
Copy !req
136. Do you feel close to these creatures?
Copy !req
137. They come when I call.
Copy !req
138. They do what I command.
Copy !req
139. Mm, well, ask.
I don't really command them.
Copy !req
140. But, yes, it feels like,
for a little while, they're part of me.
Copy !req
141. So, part of you has died.
Copy !req
142. Like part of you died with your sister.
Copy !req
143. I'll sing for them both.
Copy !req
144. This Marquis, you believe vampires
are gathering at his château?
Copy !req
145. Yes.
Copy !req
146. It makes sense.
It's where vampires would go.
Copy !req
147. We should investigate
and burn it to the ground if we have to.
Copy !req
148. It's getting late.
Copy !req
149. You should wait.
Copy !req
150. For another attack?
Copy !req
151. We needed to rest,
but now we're wasting time.
Copy !req
152. We'll stay out of sight.
Just get a sense of numbers.
Copy !req
153. Then I'll come with you.
Copy !req
154. You need to rest,
and we need to stay hidden.
Copy !req
155. Frankly, four is already too many.
Copy !req
156. I promise…
Copy !req
157. We'll be careful.
Copy !req
158. We'll be safe.
Copy !req
159. Thousands of years ago,
before any church or anything,
Copy !req
160. the people who built stone circles
communed with what they called
Copy !req
161. the Otherworld.
Copy !req
162. Sounds like the spirit world,
where Annette's ancestors live.
Copy !req
163. Generation upon generation of ancestors,
Copy !req
164. back to Ogun, an orisha, a god.
Copy !req
165. The god of iron and war.
Copy !req
166. She's descended from a god?
Copy !req
167. That's on my father's side.
Copy !req
168. On her mother's, it's Orunmila,
Copy !req
169. an orisha of wisdom and divination.
Copy !req
170. Apparently.
Copy !req
171. Anyway, it gives her power
over metal and rock.
Copy !req
172. We're all descended from gods.
Copy !req
173. We just have to learn
how to draw on their power.
Copy !req
174. Well, I'm quite happy with my whip
and my knives, thank you.
Copy !req
175. Generation upon generation of my ancestors
have killed vampires with just this whip.
Copy !req
176. Actually, quite a lot of them
could do magic,
Copy !req
177. including my mother,
but it's never been essential.
Copy !req
178. Where's your mother?
Copy !req
179. She died.
Copy !req
180. Some vampires do magic too.
Copy !req
181. It's like Versailles emptied,
and its dregs washed up here.
Copy !req
182. That's him.
Copy !req
183. That's the Marquis.
Copy !req
184. Poor devils.
Copy !req
185. He's giving them the corpses.
Copy !req
186. - Why?
- To make more.
Copy !req
187. The Marquis has some kind of deal
with the Forgemaster.
Copy !req
188. Follow those night creatures,
we find their maker.
Copy !req
189. It's Jacques.
Copy !req
190. I saw him only yesterday.
Copy !req
191. Oh my God.
Copy !req
192. It's the vampire
who enslaved her and murdered her mother,
Copy !req
193. the Comte de Vaublanc.
Copy !req
194. He looks like he's found God.
Copy !req
195. Papa Legba, open the gate.
Copy !req
196. Annette, not now.
Copy !req
197. Annette.
Copy !req
198. We need to get out of here!
Copy !req
199. - Go.
Copy !req
200. Maria! We need to go!
Copy !req
201. - Now!
Copy !req
202. Annette! We need a bridge!
Copy !req
203. Annette!
Copy !req
204. Richter!
Copy !req
205. Well, well…
Copy !req
206. Glory be to God.
Copy !req
