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. It's not fair.
Copy !req
203. Ah, sweetheart,
everyone wants to be Liberty.
Copy !req
204. Or maybe she could be Equality.
Or Fraternity.
Copy !req
205. You have to be a man to be Fraternity.
It means "brotherhood."
Copy !req
206. "Sisternity," then.
Copy !req
207. Oh, suits you.
Copy !req
208. Want to join us?
Copy !req
209. - Your festival, or your revolution?
- Both.
Copy !req
210. You don't need me.
Copy !req
211. We'll need
someone to fight for us.
Copy !req
212. And you look
as if you have some fight in you.
Copy !req
213. Maybe I'm tired of fighting.
Copy !req
214. Emmanuel.
Copy !req
215. Tera, please.
Copy !req
216. I only came to talk.
Copy !req
217. Please.
Copy !req
218. We have nothing to say to you.
Copy !req
219. Are you… hurt?
Copy !req
220. I've been turning it over in my mind.
Copy !req
221. What I saw, and what I know about you.
Copy !req
222. You told me once
that God had called your name.
Copy !req
223. That he called you to fight evil.
Copy !req
224. I used to believe that, yes.
Copy !req
225. And now?
Copy !req
226. Now, the cornerstones I built my life on
are being toppled.
Copy !req
227. Maybe it's time they were toppled.
Copy !req
228. Of course, that sounds romantic,
like everything you revolutionaries tout.
Copy !req
229. But once you've razed
this country to the ground,
Copy !req
230. I wonder who will be left to rebuild.
Copy !req
231. You talk of freedom.
Copy !req
232. Freedom for whom?
Copy !req
233. Everybody.
Copy !req
234. There's a woman in my parish, 82.
Copy !req
235. She's been hobbling to communion
every day of her life,
Copy !req
236. and now her grandson has forbidden it
in the name of reason.
Copy !req
237. Do you think when she wakes in the night,
she'll cry "reason,"liberty,"
Copy !req
238. into the dark to banish her terrors?
Copy !req
239. That's just one woman.
Copy !req
240. Over 200 priests were massacred in Verdun.
Copy !req
241. It won't be long before priests are exiled
or put under the guillotine.
Copy !req
242. There is talk of melting down church bells
to make cannonballs.
Copy !req
243. The barbarians are at the gate.
Copy !req
244. To them, no one will be
true enough or loyal enough.
Copy !req
245. They will drench us all in blood.
Copy !req
246. - Not if your night creatures do it first!
- I'm building an army.
Copy !req
247. And fighting on the wrong side.
Copy !req
248. With vampires.
Copy !req
249. I'm making the alliances
I have to for now.
Copy !req
250. And the sacrifices.
Copy !req
251. The man I used to know
would stare at himself now in disgust.
Copy !req
252. I've never been sinless, Tera.
Copy !req
253. There's a long way between sinless
and harboring fucking night creatures.
Copy !req
254. How many times
does the entire course of history
Copy !req
255. come down to the choice of just one man?
Copy !req
256. Constantine. Charlemagne. Me.
Copy !req
257. Who knows what further abominations
this revolution will bring?
Copy !req
258. If your God is as powerful as you say,
he doesn't need you to fight for him.
Copy !req
259. You're not doing this
for the sake of the Church,
Copy !req
260. you're doing this
for the sake of your own vanity.
Copy !req
261. I've often thought about Judas.
Copy !req
262. Traitor. Turncoat.
Copy !req
263. But what would have happened
if he hadn't done what he did?
Copy !req
264. Was the whole world saved
because of one man's betrayal?
Copy !req
265. I was a fool to trust you.
I wish I never met you.
Copy !req
266. If you hadn't met me,
we wouldn't have Maria.
Copy !req
267. You said my father was dead.
Copy !req
268. To protect you.
Copy !req
269. I promise you, Tera,
Copy !req
270. I will keep her safe.
Copy !req
271. How much for—
Copy !req
272. More than you've got,
it looks like.
Copy !req
273. I could pay you back
in vampire hunting.
Copy !req
274. If you can pay me in dishwashing,
you'd have a deal.
Copy !req
275. But the man over there says
put it on his tab.
Copy !req
276. Thanks for dinner.
Copy !req
277. Well, you know what they say
about a free dinner.
Copy !req
278. Do they say anything?
Copy !req
279. They say, "Go back to where you came from
and don't expect another one."
Copy !req
280. Or maybe that's just me.
Copy !req
281. Look, I didn't ask for any favors.
Copy !req
282. Where the fuck is the old man?
Copy !req
283. Ah, fuck. Another one.
Copy !req
284. You swore the next time you saw my face
in this village, you would kill me.
Copy !req
285. Here's my face. Give it your best.
Copy !req
286. Well, I guess this makes me
a man of my word.
Copy !req
287. It's a good thing I finished that.
Copy !req
288. If you can pay for your meals
in carpentry…
Copy !req
289. Give me that.
Copy !req
290. You should've taken better care of it.
Copy !req
291. I forgot how heavy that thing is.
Copy !req
292. Too heavy.
Copy !req
293. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
294. Who are you?
Copy !req
295. Aren't you supposed to be clever?
Copy !req
296. What?
Copy !req
297. That's what Julia always said.
Copy !req
298. Who are you?
Copy !req
299. I'm Juste.
Copy !req
300. Juste who?
Copy !req
301. Juste Belmont.
Copy !req
302. Your grandfather.
Copy !req
