1. I hate that smell.
Copy !req
2. What is it?
Copy !req
3. It's willow bark.
To help with the pain.
Copy !req
4. I've smelled it so often now,
all I associate it with is p— Ouch!
Copy !req
5. - Well, hold still.
- Are you this rough all the time?
Copy !req
6. I'm not a nurse.
Copy !req
7. It's deeper than I thought.
Copy !req
8. I've only tried this
a couple of times before.
Copy !req
9. - Ouch!
- And it's only worked once.
Copy !req
10. I can only do it on flesh wounds.
Copy !req
11. I've been trying
to teach myself bones, but…
Copy !req
12. It's… You're brilliant.
Copy !req
13. His wife is saying
she intends to keep the head.
Copy !req
14. I shudder to imagine
what she's planning to do with it.
Copy !req
15. I can't abide tears, Nikolai.
Give her my condolences, will you?
Copy !req
16. Tell her it's a shame,
he will be missed, he was a loyal servant…
Copy !req
17. And he has exquisite taste
for soft furnishings.
Copy !req
18. I'll tell her I'll find the Belmont boy
and bring back his head.
Copy !req
19. She can put it on a platter
next to the Marquis'.
Copy !req
20. Mum?
Copy !req
21. Are you… crying?
Copy !req
22. No, no. It's just…
Copy !req
23. I always liked
that I could see it from here.
Copy !req
24. Why?
Copy !req
25. When I first came to Machecoul
17 years ago, I had nothing.
Copy !req
26. The townspeople
were suspicious of me, a foreigner.
Copy !req
27. But I've never forgotten how much
compassion they showed me at the Abbey.
Copy !req
28. It felt like a safe place. A holy place.
Copy !req
29. Richter!
Copy !req
30. What are you doing?
Copy !req
31. Tell me you're not going back
to the Abbey.
Copy !req
32. I don't need you to come with me.
Copy !req
33. Don't go. Please.
Copy !req
34. I told Edouard I'd come back for him.
Copy !req
35. Annette, now's not the time. You're upset.
Copy !req
36. I'm not upset. I'm furious.
Copy !req
37. I am too, but we have to wait.
Copy !req
38. For what?
Copy !req
39. To regroup. To devise a new plan.
For the sun to rise. For Richter.
Copy !req
40. I don't have time to wait for Richter.
Copy !req
41. Edouard doesn't have time, he's in chains.
Copy !req
42. How can I enjoy even one night of peace
while he's not free?
Copy !req
43. When he helped to free me?
Copy !req
44. Olrox and Drolta
are very powerful vampires.
Copy !req
45. I don't know
what they're planning in Machecoul,
Copy !req
46. but if you go now, it's suicide.
Copy !req
47. Richter's coming back, and when he does,
Copy !req
48. we'll find out what we can about Drolta
and the night creatures.
Copy !req
49. We need to understand our enemy
to defeat them and save Edouard.
Copy !req
50. Together.
Copy !req
51. Maria, you are in my way.
Copy !req
52. I'll only move if you tell me
Copy !req
53. you're not going back
to the Abbey tonight.
Copy !req
54. Fine.
Copy !req
55. Or the Château?
Copy !req
56. Or the Château.
Copy !req
57. - I won't go inside.
- Annette!
Copy !req
58. You're right.
Copy !req
59. We'll need to understand
our enemies to defeat them.
Copy !req
60. If you're going to spy on them,
Copy !req
61. be sure to keep out of sight.
If Richter was here—
Copy !req
62. Do you two wait for Richter
before you do everything?
Copy !req
63. He ran away.
Copy !req
64. Try to forgive him.
Copy !req
65. Olrox is the vampire
who killed his mother.
Copy !req
66. The dragon that's haunted his nightmares
since he was a child.
Copy !req
67. We all have nightmares.
Copy !req
68. The first time a slave runs away,
Copy !req
69. they're branded with this mark
on their shoulder.
Copy !req
70. Second time, they're hamstrung.
Copy !req
71. Third time, killed.
Copy !req
72. When I was a girl, I was taught to be
frightened of people on our plantation
Copy !req
73. with this mark on their body.
Copy !req
74. Troublemakers.
Copy !req
75. But after I escaped myself,
I saw them differently.
Copy !req
76. The people with this mark,
they're the people who know intimately
Copy !req
77. how much freedom can cost.
Copy !req
78. They wear it every day.
Copy !req
79. So I do too.
Copy !req
80. If I'd let my past terrify me,
Copy !req
81. I'd never be free of it.
Copy !req
82. Striking terror
in the hearts of children, I see.
Copy !req
83. I prefer my blood blue.
Copy !req
84. I'm talking about the Belmont boy.
Copy !req
85. Oh, him.
Copy !req
86. Son of an old foe.
Copy !req
87. The soon-to-be-dead son of an old foe.
We're taking care of him.
Copy !req
88. Maybe you do things differently
in the New World,
Copy !req
89. but over here,
we don't feed off the wealthy.
Copy !req
90. The locals will start to grumble.
Copy !req
91. My apologies.
Copy !req
92. I didn't realize how invested you are
in keeping the mortals happy.
Copy !req
93. I try…
Copy !req
94. in between turning milk sour
and stalking the nightmares of villagers.
Copy !req
95. We're in an uneasy alliance
with the humans in this town.
Copy !req
96. For now.
Copy !req
97. It disgusts me too.
Copy !req
98. Making deals with them,
feeding on peasants only
Copy !req
99. in exchange for some influence
among the aristocracy,
Copy !req
100. enduring that man in the Abbey
in exchange for his night creatures.
Copy !req
101. The sun will rise soon.
Shouldn't you get back to the Château?
Copy !req
102. Where are you staying?
Copy !req
103. There's an inn on the other side.
Copy !req
104. It's good.
Copy !req
105. Quiet.
Copy !req
106. Private?
Copy !req
107. I like it here in town.
Copy !req
108. I like to keep my ear to the ground.
Copy !req
109. Not long now.
Copy !req
110. Before dawn.
Copy !req
111. I can tell without ever watching.
Copy !req
112. The instant the sun comes up,
Copy !req
113. some quality in the air changes.
Copy !req
114. We all feel it. It's dread.
Copy !req
115. For a few hours, we're free of it.
Copy !req
116. Imagine total freedom.
Never shrinking from light.
Copy !req
117. I don't waste my time
imagining things that will never be.
Copy !req
118. But it will be, Olrox.
Copy !req
119. Across Europe, vampires are pledging
their allegiance to Erzsebet Bathory.
Copy !req
120. Will you be next?
Copy !req
121. I've never been a believer. Of any kind.
Copy !req
122. Maybe I need to see to believe.
Copy !req
123. I've heard she is very formidable.
Copy !req
124. Formidable. Wonderful. A lioness.
Copy !req
125. Evil trembles before her.
Copy !req
126. In awe.
Copy !req
127. We've seen empires rise and fall, Olrox.
Copy !req
128. Mortals are fickle.
Copy !req
129. They riot over bread,
they flit from one god to another.
Copy !req
130. I was a priestess of Sekhmet,
Copy !req
131. the Egyptian goddess of war and vengeance.
Copy !req
132. I remember the smell of mortal bodies
on festival days.
Copy !req
133. The incense, the fervor of revelers,
the feeling of touching the immortal.
Copy !req
134. And now—
Copy !req
135. And now those temples
are half-buried in dust.
Copy !req
136. Precisely.
Copy !req
137. Look at all this.
Copy !req
138. Human lives are as long as mayflies'.
Copy !req
139. Their loyalty is just as fleeting.
Copy !req
140. We endure.
Copy !req
141. When that Abbey and this town is in ruins,
will we still be lurking in the shadows?
Copy !req
142. Looking for feeble loyalties
amongst the mortals
Copy !req
143. where we hope we may find them?
Copy !req
144. Let's make a new world, Olrox.
Copy !req
145. You see, that's another one
I've heard before.
Copy !req
146. - Then let's make it last.
Copy !req
147. - Run!
Copy !req
148. Last time I saw you,
you were with that mulatto boy.
Copy !req
149. Last time I saw you,
you were a flying rat.
Copy !req
150. They presented you to me
hours after you were born.
Copy !req
151. Tiny squalling thing,
ugly as a newly-hatched chick.
Copy !req
152. - With a neck like a wishbone.
Copy !req
153. I should have snapped it then.
Copy !req
154. I've had years to study you as well.
Copy !req
155. I haven't forgotten the way
you cower before the Christian God.
Copy !req
156. That smell?
Copy !req
157. Burning flesh.
Copy !req
158. You should know it well.
Copy !req
159. I know the sound
your mother made when she died.
Copy !req
160. I know the songs
you and the other girls used to sing
Copy !req
161. when you thought everyone was asleep.
Copy !req
162. I know what your nightmares are made of.
Copy !req
163. I'm not the one in the cage.
Copy !req
164. I'm sure you wake up some mornings
Copy !req
165. with the smell of burnt sugar
in the back of your throat
Copy !req
166. and forget you ever left.
Copy !req
167. That's because you're not free
where it matters.
Copy !req
168. You're the one
with a brand on your forehead.
Copy !req
169. This is a symbol of loyalty
to my mistress.
Copy !req
170. Erzsebet Bathory.
Copy !req
171. You're not fit to say her name!
How long were you a slave?
Copy !req
172. Fifteen years? More?
Copy !req
173. - Born in chains, to a woman in chains.
Copy !req
174. Some people look backwards and forwards,
and all they see are slaves.
Copy !req
175. You, your people, my property.
Copy !req
176. What's that got to do with Erzsebet?
Copy !req
177. She'll restore the world
to its natural order.
Copy !req
178. Immortals, kings, humans,
Copy !req
179. peasants, slaves.
Copy !req
180. You.
Copy !req
181. - How can she do that?
Copy !req
182. She's just a vampire.
Copy !req
183. Erzsebet is a goddess!
Copy !req
184. She drank the blood of Sekhmet.
Copy !req
185. The Egyptian goddess.
Copy !req
186. Yes.
Copy !req
187. Sekhmet is the daughter of Ra. A lioness.
Copy !req
188. Her breath is like the desert wind.
Copy !req
189. We were told there would be signs.
Disorder, slave uprisings, war.
Copy !req
190. We were told to view these as heralds.
Copy !req
191. Erzsebet is coming,
with all of Sekhmet's power,
Copy !req
192. to restore all things.
Copy !req
193. What does that mean?
Copy !req
194. It means you can kill me,
Copy !req
195. but Erzsebet will never be defeated.
Copy !req
196. She will come with eternal night.
Copy !req
197. She will destroy
everyone and everything you love.
Copy !req
198. The sun is rising.
Copy !req
199. Devouring the darkness.
Copy !req
200. It always does.
Copy !req
201. - This is the natural order.
Copy !req
202. NEITHER GOD NOR MASTER
Copy !req
203. It's not fair.
Copy !req
204. Ah, sweetheart,
everyone wants to be Liberty.
Copy !req
205. Or maybe she could be Equality.
Or Fraternity.
Copy !req
206. You have to be a man to be Fraternity.
It means "brotherhood."
Copy !req
207. "Sisternity," then.
Copy !req
208. Oh, suits you.
Copy !req
209. Want to join us?
Copy !req
210. - Your festival, or your revolution?
- Both.
Copy !req
211. You don't need me.
Copy !req
212. We'll need
someone to fight for us.
Copy !req
213. And you look
as if you have some fight in you.
Copy !req
214. Maybe I'm tired of fighting.
Copy !req
215. Emmanuel.
Copy !req
216. Tera, please.
Copy !req
217. I only came to talk.
Copy !req
218. Please.
Copy !req
219. We have nothing to say to you.
Copy !req
220. Are you… hurt?
Copy !req
221. I've been turning it over in my mind.
Copy !req
222. What I saw, and what I know about you.
Copy !req
223. You told me once
that God had called your name.
Copy !req
224. That he called you to fight evil.
Copy !req
225. I used to believe that, yes.
Copy !req
226. And now?
Copy !req
227. Now, the cornerstones I built my life on
are being toppled.
Copy !req
228. Maybe it's time they were toppled.
Copy !req
229. Of course, that sounds romantic,
like everything you revolutionaries tout.
Copy !req
230. But once you've razed
this country to the ground,
Copy !req
231. I wonder who will be left to rebuild.
Copy !req
232. You talk of freedom.
Copy !req
233. Freedom for whom?
Copy !req
234. Everybody.
Copy !req
235. There's a woman in my parish, 82.
Copy !req
236. She's been hobbling to communion
every day of her life,
Copy !req
237. and now her grandson has forbidden it
in the name of reason.
Copy !req
238. Do you think when she wakes in the night,
she'll cry "reason,"liberty,"
Copy !req
239. into the dark to banish her terrors?
Copy !req
240. That's just one woman.
Copy !req
241. Over 200 priests were massacred in Verdun.
Copy !req
242. It won't be long before priests are exiled
or put under the guillotine.
Copy !req
243. There is talk of melting down church bells
to make cannonballs.
Copy !req
244. The barbarians are at the gate.
Copy !req
245. To them, no one will be
true enough or loyal enough.
Copy !req
246. They will drench us all in blood.
Copy !req
247. - Not if your night creatures do it first!
- I'm building an army.
Copy !req
248. And fighting on the wrong side.
Copy !req
249. With vampires.
Copy !req
250. I'm making the alliances
I have to for now.
Copy !req
251. And the sacrifices.
Copy !req
252. The man I used to know
would stare at himself now in disgust.
Copy !req
253. I've never been sinless, Tera.
Copy !req
254. There's a long way between sinless
and harboring fucking night creatures.
Copy !req
255. How many times
does the entire course of history
Copy !req
256. come down to the choice of just one man?
Copy !req
257. Constantine. Charlemagne. Me.
Copy !req
258. Who knows what further abominations
this revolution will bring?
Copy !req
259. If your God is as powerful as you say,
he doesn't need you to fight for him.
Copy !req
260. You're not doing this
for the sake of the Church,
Copy !req
261. you're doing this
for the sake of your own vanity.
Copy !req
262. I've often thought about Judas.
Copy !req
263. Traitor. Turncoat.
Copy !req
264. But what would have happened
if he hadn't done what he did?
Copy !req
265. Was the whole world saved
because of one man's betrayal?
Copy !req
266. I was a fool to trust you.
I wish I never met you.
Copy !req
267. If you hadn't met me,
we wouldn't have Maria.
Copy !req
268. You said my father was dead.
Copy !req
269. To protect you.
Copy !req
270. I promise you, Tera,
Copy !req
271. I will keep her safe.
Copy !req
272. How much for—
Copy !req
273. More than you've got,
it looks like.
Copy !req
274. I could pay you back
in vampire hunting.
Copy !req
275. If you can pay me in dishwashing,
you'd have a deal.
Copy !req
276. But the man over there says
put it on his tab.
Copy !req
277. Thanks for dinner.
Copy !req
278. Well, you know what they say
about a free dinner.
Copy !req
279. Do they say anything?
Copy !req
280. They say, "Go back to where you came from
and don't expect another one."
Copy !req
281. Or maybe that's just me.
Copy !req
282. Look, I didn't ask for any favors.
Copy !req
283. Where the fuck is the old man?
Copy !req
284. Ah, fuck. Another one.
Copy !req
285. You swore the next time you saw my face
in this village, you would kill me.
Copy !req
286. Here's my face. Give it your best.
Copy !req
287. Well, I guess this makes me
a man of my word.
Copy !req
288. It's a good thing I finished that.
Copy !req
289. If you can pay for your meals
in carpentry…
Copy !req
290. Give me that.
Copy !req
291. You should've taken better care of it.
Copy !req
292. I forgot how heavy that thing is.
Copy !req
293. Too heavy.
Copy !req
294. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
295. Who are you?
Copy !req
296. Aren't you supposed to be clever?
Copy !req
297. What?
Copy !req
298. That's what Julia always said.
Copy !req
299. Who are you?
Copy !req
300. I'm Juste.
Copy !req
301. Juste who?
Copy !req
302. Juste Belmont.
Copy !req
303. Your grandfather.
Copy !req
