1. U?“Copy !req
2. The war had all but ground
to a halt in the blink of an eye.Copy !req
3. Lucian, the most feared and ruthless leader ever
to rule the Lycan clan had finally been killed.Copy !req
4. The Lycan horde
scattered to the windCopy !req
5. in a single evening
of flame and retribution.Copy !req
6. Victory, it seemed,
was in our grasp,Copy !req
7. the very birthright
of the Vampires.Copy !req
8. Nearly six centuries had
passed since that night.Copy !req
9. Yet the ancient feud proved unwilling
to follow Lucian to the grave.Copy !req
10. Though Lycans were
fewer in number,Copy !req
11. the war itself had become
more perilousCopy !req
12. for the moon no longer
held her sway.Copy !req
13. Older, more powerful Lycans
were now able to change at will.Copy !req
14. The weapons had evolved,
but our orders remained the same:Copy !req
15. Hunt them down and kill them off,
one by one.Copy !req
16. A most successful campaign.Copy !req
17. Perhaps too successful.Copy !req
18. For those like me, a Death Dealer,Copy !req
19. this signaled the end of an era.Copy !req
20. Like the weapons
of the previous century,Copy !req
21. we too would become obsolete.Copy !req
22. Pity, because I lived for it.Copy !req
23. U?“Copy !req
24. MAN 2; Hey!Copy !req
25. Bloods!Copy !req
26. It's all right. It's all right.
You're gonna be okay.Copy !req
27. U?“Copy !req
28. You're acting like a pack
of rabid dogs!Copy !req
29. And that, gentlemen,Copy !req
30. simply will not do.Copy !req
31. Not if you expect to defeat
the Vampires on their own ground.Copy !req
32. Not if you expect to survive at all.Copy !req
33. Pierce! Taylor!Copy !req
34. Put some clothes on, will you?Copy !req
35. U?“Copy !req
36. We have a serious problem.Copy !req
37. I'll have to run a few tests.Copy !req
38. It's definitely an irradiated fluid
of some sort.Copy !req
39. Ultraviolet ammunition.Copy !req
40. Daylight, harnessed as a weapon.Copy !req
41. You expect me to believe
that a mangy animalCopy !req
42. came up with a bullet specifically
engineered to kill Vampires?Copy !req
43. No, I'm betting it's military.Copy !req
44. Something they stole.
Some sort of high-tech tracer round.Copy !req
45. I don't care where
they got these things.Copy !req
46. Rigel is dead, and Nathaniel
could still be out there.Copy !req
47. We should gather the Death Dealers
and go back down there in force.Copy !req
48. Absolutely not. Not now.
Not for a random incursion.Copy !req
49. The Awakening is a few days off,
and this house is in unrest as it is.Copy !req
50. Random? They opened fire on us
in full view of the public.Copy !req
51. And from the commotion I heard
down in that tunnel—Copy !req
52. You said yourself
you actually didn't see anything.Copy !req
53. Look, I know what I heard,
and I know what my gut tells me,Copy !req
54. and I am telling you there could be
dozens of Lycans down there.Copy !req
55. Who knows, maybe more.
Hundreds.Copy !req
56. We've hunted them
to the brink of extinction.Copy !req
57. Kraven's right, Selene.Copy !req
58. There's not been a den
of that magnitude for centuries,Copy !req
59. not since the days of Lucian.Copy !req
60. I know that, Kahn.Copy !req
61. But I'd rather have you prove
me wrong by checking it out.Copy !req
62. Very well,
have your men tighten things up.Copy !req
63. I'll have Soren assemble
a search team.Copy !req
64. No, I want to lead the team myself.Copy !req
65. Absolutely not!
Soren will handle it.Copy !req
66. Hundreds, really?Copy !req
67. Viktor would believe me.Copy !req
68. I'd never dream
of treating you like that.Copy !req
69. Of course you wouldn't.Copy !req
70. Now run along and make sure she's dressed
and ready for the arrival of her guests.Copy !req
71. It's a waste of time, you know.Copy !req
72. What is?Copy !req
73. Well, I seriously doubt Viktor would
want you freezing to death in here,Copy !req
74. staring at his tomb for hours on end.Copy !req
75. No, he'd want the Death Dealers out there
right now, scouring every inch of the city.Copy !req
76. Kraven. I'll never understand
why Viktor left him in charge.Copy !req
77. He's a bureaucrat,
not a warrior.Copy !req
78. Come on, we need to get you ready.Copy !req
79. For what?Copy !req
80. The party.Copy !req
81. Amelia's envoy will be here
any minute.Copy !req
82. Oh, yes.Copy !req
83. You should definitely wear this one.
It's perfect.Copy !req
84. U?“Copy !req
85. They were after you.Copy !req
86. He's attractive.Copy !req
87. For a human.Copy !req
88. Who's attractive?Copy !req
89. You know I was planning to have you
at my side this evening.Copy !req
90. Take Erika.
She's dying to be at your side.Copy !req
91. If you ask me, you take this warrior
business far too seriously.Copy !req
92. You can't undo the past,
no matter how many you kill.Copy !req
93. And besides...Copy !req
94. what's the point
in being immortalCopy !req
95. if you deny yourself
the simple pleasures in life?Copy !req
96. Do you see this human?Copy !req
97. What of him?Copy !req
98. I can't be positive,
but I'm beginning to think the Lycans—Copy !req
99. Blast.Copy !req
100. Put on something elegant
and be quick about it.Copy !req
101. Kraven, I'm serious.
I think they were following him.Copy !req
102. Other than food,
why would Lycans stalk a human?Copy !req
103. AW PFOgress?Copy !req
104. Let's find out.Copy !req
105. Negative.Copy !req
106. You heading home?Copy !req
107. Yeah, Nicholas gave me
a couple hours off.Copy !req
108. By the way...Copy !req
109. he said you did a terrific job
tonight with the surgery.Copy !req
110. Yeah.Copy !req
111. Take it easy.Copy !req
112. We were ambushed.Copy !req
113. Death Dealers, three of them.Copy !req
114. And the candidate?Copy !req
115. We lost him.
You lost him.Copy !req
116. Look at this mess.Copy !req
117. Ag rounds. High content.Copy !req
118. Prevented him from
making the change.Copy !req
119. No use in digging out the rest.
Silver's penetrated his organs.Copy !req
120. Regeneration's impossible
at this point.Copy !req
121. Let's take these out.Copy !req
122. Relax.Copy !req
123. The Vampires didn't realize
you were following a human.Copy !req
124. Did they, Raze?Copy !req
125. No.Copy !req
126. I mean...Copy !req
127. I don't think so.Copy !req
128. You don't think, or you don't know?Copy !req
129. I'm not sure.Copy !req
130. Negative.Copy !req
131. I really must have a look
at this Michael.Copy !req
132. Must I do everything myself?Copy !req
133. Our noble houses may be
separated by a great ocean,Copy !req
134. but we are equally committed
to the survival of the bloodlines.Copy !req
135. And when Amelia arrives
to awaken MarcusCopy !req
136. in just two days' time,Copy !req
137. we shall once again
be united as a single coven!Copy !req
138. We want to thank our hosts
for their generous hospitality.Copy !req
139. U?“Copy !req
140. He comes in, he does his
job, and then he goes home.Copy !req
141. Other than that,
I really don't know what to tell you.Copy !req
142. Interns pretty much work
around the clock.Copy !req
143. We don't have much of a life.Copy !req
144. You know where we can find him?Copy !req
145. No. Um...Copy !req
146. You can try him at home,
or you'll have to wait till he gets back.Copy !req
147. He's not in some kind of trouble,
is he?Copy !req
148. This is Michael. I'm not in right now.
Please leave a message.Copy !req
149. Michael, it's Adam. The police were
just in the hospital looking for you.Copy !req
150. They were convinced you were
involved with a shootout.Copy !req
151. I told them there's no way you'd be
involved with something like that,Copy !req
152. but they're looking for you.
Right now.Copy !req
153. Why are they after you?Copy !req
154. U?“Copy !req
155. Shit!Copy !req
156. Hello, Michael.Copy !req
157. What the fuck is going on?Copy !req
158. Stop the car.Copy !req
159. Stop the car!Copy !req
160. Back off!Copy !req
161. Okay -Copy !req
162. Okay -Copy !req
163. All right.Copy !req
164. But you've lost a lot of blood.Copy !req
165. If you don't stop the oar,
you're gonna get us both killed.Copy !req
166. I'm not screwing around!Copy !req
167. Neither am I.Copy !req
168. Now shut up and hold on.
I'll be fine.Copy !req
169. Shit!Copy !req
170. A second escape. Impressive.Copy !req
171. Perhaps Raze wasn't
overstating matters.Copy !req
172. Raze didn't bring back this.Copy !req
173. If Michael is indeed The Carrier,
the Vampires could—Copy !req
174. Relax, old friend.Copy !req
175. I've tasted his flesh.Copy !req
176. Just two days till full moon.Copy !req
177. Soon, he will be a Lycan.Copy !req
178. Soon, he will come looking for us.Copy !req
179. It's a shame we don't have more.Copy !req
180. Positive.Copy !req
181. Lay still. Your skull's
taken a good knock.Copy !req
182. You've been unconscious
for a while.Copy !req
183. Do you have any idea
why those men were after you?Copy !req
184. Where am I?Copy !req
185. You're safe.Copy !req
186. I'm Selene.Copy !req
187. So for once,
the rumors were true.Copy !req
188. The whole house has been absolutely
buzzing about your new pet.Copy !req
189. You're going to try to turn him,
aren't you?Copy !req
190. Of course not.Copy !req
191. So why did you bring him here?Copy !req
192. He saved my life.Copy !req
193. Why are you here?Copy !req
194. Kraven sent me.Copy !req
195. He wants to see you. Now.Copy !req
196. This is completely unacceptable!Copy !req
197. You go against my orders and spend
the night away from the mansionCopy !req
198. with a human? A human you've
since brought back to my house.Copy !req
199. As far as I'm concerned,
this is still Viktor's house.Copy !req
200. Look, I don't want to argue.Copy !req
201. I just you to understand that Michael is
somehow important to the Lycans—Copy !req
202. Oh, so now it's "Michael"!Copy !req
203. Kraven, would you just hear me out?Copy !req
204. It's just beyond me why you're so
obsessed over this ridiculous theory.Copy !req
205. Lucian wouldn't be
the slightest bit interested in a human,Copy !req
206. Michael or otherwise.Copy !req
207. Wait a minute.Copy !req
208. You're infatuated with him,
aren't you?Copy !req
209. Now, that's a ridiculous theory.Copy !req
210. Is it?Copy !req
211. Leave us!Copy !req
212. I sure hope you never get
pissed off with me.Copy !req
213. Hold on.Copy !req
214. Check this out.Copy !req
215. Go ahead. Squeeze off a few.Copy !req
216. Eject the mag.Copy !req
217. You've copied the Lycan rounds.
Silver nitrate.Copy !req
218. A lethal dose.Copy !req
219. They won't dig these out,
like they do with our usual rounds.Copy !req
220. Straight into the bloodstream.
Ain't nothing to dig out.Copy !req
221. Tell me, Kahn.Copy !req
222. Do you believe Lucian died
the way they say he did?Copy !req
223. Kraven been telling
war stories again, is he?Copy !req
224. That's my point.Copy !req
225. It's nothing but an ancient story.
His story.Copy !req
226. There's not a shred of proof
he killed Lucian, only his word.Copy !req
227. I've never underestimated
Kraven's lust for advancement,Copy !req
228. but Viktor believed him,
and that's all that matters.Copy !req
229. Now, where you going
with this anyway?Copy !req
230. Nowhere.Copy !req
231. Engaging Death Dealers in public
and chasing after some humanCopy !req
232. was not what I had in mind.Copy !req
233. You were told to set up shop
and lay low!Copy !req
234. Calm yourself, Kraven!Copy !req
235. The human doesn't concern you.Copy !req
236. And besides, I've laid low
for quite long enough.Copy !req
237. Just keep your men at bay, Lucian.Copy !req
238. At least for the time being.Copy !req
239. Don't force me to regret
our arrangement.Copy !req
240. You just concentrate on your part.Copy !req
241. Remember, I've bled for you
once already.Copy !req
242. Without me, you'd have nothing.Copy !req
243. You'd be nothing.Copy !req
244. Of the scores of brave souls
who entered Lucian's fortressCopy !req
245. a single Vampire survived:
Kraven,Copy !req
246. who was richly rewarded
for not only setting the great blaze,Copy !req
247. but for returning with evidence
of the Lycan master's demise,Copy !req
248. the branded skin,
cut from Lucian's very arm.Copy !req
249. I've been looking for you everywhere.Copy !req
250. Not now.
He's been bitten.Copy !req
251. Your human,
he's been marked by a Lycan.Copy !req
252. Did Kraven put you up to this?
No.Copy !req
253. I saw the wound with my own eyes,
I swear it.Copy !req
254. But what about the Covenant?Copy !req
255. You know it's forbidden!Copy !req
256. And ever since he bit me,
I've been—Copy !req
257. I've been having these hallucinations
and... And these delusions.Copy !req
258. All I know is, it feels like
my skull is splitting in half.Copy !req
259. Okay, so a full-grown man bit you?Copy !req
260. Jesus.Copy !req
261. Are you sure this wasn't a dog?Copy !req
262. I said, it was a man. It was a man.
Okay. Okay.Copy !req
263. Okay, I got it.Copy !req
264. He was after me.Copy !req
265. And that woman from the subway—
What woman?Copy !req
266. Haven't you been listening to me?
She took me hostage!Copy !req
267. All right. Just— Please.Copy !req
268. I'll help you get this all sorted out,
all right? I'll be right back.Copy !req
269. Let go, Michael.Copy !req
270. Let go.Copy !req
271. Just calm down, okay?
I'm gonna be back in a minute.Copy !req
272. That's a promise. All right?
All right.Copy !req
273. Hey!Copy !req
274. Hey!Copy !req
275. Please forgive me...Copy !req
276. but I desperately need
your guidance.Copy !req
277. Kahn wants to see you.Copy !req
278. To my knowledge,Copy !req
279. an Awakening has never been
attempted by one such as myself.Copy !req
280. The elders hold the power to organize
their memories and thoughtsCopy !req
281. into a single, cohesive vision,Copy !req
282. a detailed record of their reign.Copy !req
283. I can only hope Viktor
will hear my plea.Copy !req
284. Please forgive me,
but I desperately need your guidance.Copy !req
285. I apologize for breaking the chain and
awakening you ahead of schedule,Copy !req
286. but I fear we may all be
in grave danger.Copy !req
287. Especially you, my lord,
if left in your weakened state.Copy !req
288. For I believe that Lucian
is alive and well.Copy !req
289. Here. Now. In this very city,Copy !req
290. preparing to hit us
during the Awakening ceremony.Copy !req
291. Even more disturbing...Copy !req
292. is that if I'm correct...Copy !req
293. it would mean that Kraven
is in league with him.Copy !req
294. What's so pressing?Copy !req
295. Take a look.Copy !req
296. Selene!Copy !req
297. I want to speak with Selene!Copy !req
298. Is that Michael?Copy !req
299. Is it Michael?Copy !req
300. What the hell is going on?Copy !req
301. What's happening to me?Copy !req
302. I'm coming out.Copy !req
303. If you go to him, you'll never
be welcome in this house again.Copy !req
304. Now that Viktor's awake, we'll see
what he has to say about that.Copy !req
305. Get in.Copy !req
306. Look, I warned her. I warned
her, but she didn't listen.Copy !req
307. She never listens.
I should've told you sooner.Copy !req
308. Told me what?Copy !req
309. Her human, Michael...Copy !req
310. he's not a human at all.Copy !req
311. He's a Lycan.Copy !req
312. What?Copy !req
313. What's this ruckus?Copy !req
314. You can never come here again.
They'll kill you. Do you understand?Copy !req
315. Why? Who are you people?Copy !req
316. Leave us.Copy !req
317. Whether you like it or not,
you're in the middle of a warCopy !req
318. that's been raging
for the better part of 1000 years.Copy !req
319. A blood feud between
Vampires and Lycans.Copy !req
320. Werewolves.Copy !req
321. Consider yourself lucky.Copy !req
322. Most humans die within an hour
of being bitten by an immortal.Copy !req
323. The viruses we transmit
are deadly.Copy !req
324. And if you bit me, what,
I'd become a Vampire instead?Copy !req
325. No, you'd die.Copy !req
326. No one's ever survived
a bite from both species.Copy !req
327. By rights, I'd stop the car
and kill you myself—Copy !req
328. Then why are you helping me?Copy !req
329. I'm not!
I track down and kill your kind.Copy !req
330. My only interest is finding out
why Lucian wants you so badly.Copy !req
331. Do you know why I've
been awakened, servant?Copy !req
332. No, my lord.Copy !req
333. But I'll soon find out.Copy !req
334. You mean when you find her.Copy !req
335. Yes, my lord.Copy !req
336. You must let her come to me.Copy !req
337. We have much to discuss,
Selene and I.Copy !req
338. She has shown me
a great many disturbing things.Copy !req
339. Things that will be dealt with
soon enough.Copy !req
340. This coven has grown weak,
decadentCopy !req
341. Perhaps I should have left someone
else in charge of my affairs.Copy !req
342. Still...Copy !req
343. her memories...Copy !req
344. are chaotic.Copy !req
345. There's no sense of time.Copy !req
346. Please, my lord,
let me summon assistance.Copy !req
347. You're in need of rest.Copy !req
348. I've rested enough.Copy !req
349. What you will do
is summon Marcus.Copy !req
350. But he still slumbers, my lord.Copy !req
351. Amelia and the Council members
are arriving tomorrow nightCopy !req
352. to awaken Marcus.Copy !req
353. Not you, my lord.Copy !req
354. You've been awakened
a full century ahead of schedule.Copy !req
355. That bitch has betrayed me.Copy !req
356. Now he knows everything
she's been obsessing about.Copy !req
357. Wait.Copy !req
358. Are you to be trusted?Copy !req
359. Of course.Copy !req
360. Meet me in my quarters
in 20 minutes.Copy !req
361. It's time I filled you in
on a few things.Copy !req
362. I'm seeing these
things, these hallucinations.Copy !req
363. They're not
hallucinations, they're memories.Copy !req
364. You've been bitten. His memories
have been passed to you.Copy !req
365. This is one of the places we use
for interrogations. It should be safe.Copy !req
366. Ziodex Industries.Copy !req
367. We own it.Copy !req
368. First there was synthetic plasma,
now this.Copy !req
369. Once it's approved,
it should be our newest cash crop.Copy !req
370. It's cloned blood.Copy !req
371. What are these for?Copy !req
372. Lycans are allergic to silver.Copy !req
373. If we don't get our bullets out quickly,
they die during questioning.Copy !req
374. What do you do with them after?Copy !req
375. We put the bullets back in.Copy !req
376. How are things progressing?Copy !req
377. We're ready.Copy !req
378. Why do you hate them so much?Copy !req
379. I've already told you,
we're at war.Copy !req
380. So you're just following orders?Copy !req
381. Why can't you just answer
the question?Copy !req
382. Fine.Copy !req
383. Something was in the stable...Copy !req
384. tearing our horses to pieces.Copy !req
385. I couldn't have saved my mother.Copy !req
386. Or my sister.Copy !req
387. Their screams woke me.Copy !req
388. My father died outside,
trying to fend them off.Copy !req
389. I stood at my door...Copy !req
390. about to run
to my nieces' room when.Copy !req
391. Twin girls.Copy !req
392. Barely 6 years old.Copy !req
393. Butchered like animals.Copy !req
394. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
395. The next thing I knew,
I was in his arms.Copy !req
396. The war had spilled into our house.Copy !req
397. He'd been tracking
the Lycans for days.Copy !req
398. He drove them off and saved me.Copy !req
399. Who?Copy !req
400. Viktor.Copy !req
401. The oldest and strongest of us.Copy !req
402. That night,
he made me a Vampire.Copy !req
403. He gave me the strength
to avenge my family.Copy !req
404. Since then,
I've never looked back.Copy !req
405. I saw your pictures.Copy !req
406. Who is the woman, your wife?Copy !req
407. It may be wise to keep a
closer eye on our cousins.Copy !req
408. I'll have Raze
see to it immediately.Copy !req
409. I'm afraid that I'm going to have
to place my faith in you, my friend.Copy !req
410. Time is running short.Copy !req
411. I tried to swerve,
but he hit us anyway.Copy !req
412. He sent us right into
the oncoming lane.Copy !req
413. When I came to, I...Copy !req
414. I realized that part of the engine
was in the front seat.Copy !req
415. And she was pinned there,
6 inches from me...Copy !req
416. in this horrible position.Copy !req
417. I think she was in shock
because she justCopy !req
418. kept asking me over
and over again if I was all right.Copy !req
419. She was more worried about me.Copy !req
420. You know, if I knew then what
I know now, I could have saved her.Copy !req
421. There's no doubt in my mind
about that.Copy !req
422. But instead she died right there...Copy !req
423. about two minutes before
the ambulance arrived.Copy !req
424. After that, I didn't see
any reason to stick around.Copy !req
425. I spent a summer here with
my grandfather when I was a kid so...Copy !req
426. After I got my degree, I just—Copy !req
427. I took off.Copy !req
428. I came over here to move on,
to forget.Copy !req
429. It seemed like a good idea
at the time.Copy !req
430. And have you?Copy !req
431. Moved on?Copy !req
432. Have you?Copy !req
433. I need you to keep what I'm about to
tell you under the strictest confidence.Copy !req
434. It can wait.Copy !req
435. U?“Copy !req
436. Who started the war?Copy !req
437. Th e y did.Copy !req
438. Or at least that's what
we've been led to believe.Copy !req
439. Digging into the past is forbidden.Copy !req
440. I should be heading back.Copy !req
441. What about me?Copy !req
442. Viktor will know what to do.
I'll come back tomorrow night.Copy !req
443. I'm not staying here alone.Copy !req
444. You will if you want to live.Copy !req
445. No, I want to go with you.Copy !req
446. What are you doing?Copy !req
447. When the full moon
rises tomorrow night,Copy !req
448. you will change, you will kill,
and you will feed.Copy !req
449. It's unavoidable.Copy !req
450. I can't leave you free
to roam around. I'm sorry.Copy !req
451. A single round won't kill you, but
the silver prevents transformation.Copy !req
452. At least for a few hours.Copy !req
453. If I don't return in time,
do yourself a favor.Copy !req
454. Use it.Copy !req
455. Yeah?Copy !req
456. My lord. She's here.Copy !req
457. How could you do this to me?
Embarrass me like this?Copy !req
458. The entire coven knows
that I had plans for us.Copy !req
459. There is no us!Copy !req
460. You'll go before Viktor...Copy !req
461. and tell him exactly what I tell you to!
From here on out, you'll do as I say.Copy !req
462. Is that in any way unclear?Copy !req
463. Come closer, my child.Copy !req
464. Outside.Copy !req
465. Come on, move it.Copy !req
466. I've been lost without you, my lord.Copy !req
467. Constantly hounded by Kraven
and his never-ending infatuation.Copy !req
468. It is the oldest story in the book.Copy !req
469. He desires the one thing
he cannot have.Copy !req
470. Now, tell me...Copy !req
471. why have you come to believe
that Lucian still lives?Copy !req
472. Yeah.Copy !req
473. But I've given you
all the proof you need.Copy !req
474. Incoherent thoughts and images,
nothing more.Copy !req
475. Which is precisely why the Awakening
is performed by an elder.Copy !req
476. You do not possess
the necessary skills.Copy !req
477. But I did see Lucian. I shot him.
You must believe me.Copy !req
478. The chain has never been broken.
Not once.Copy !req
479. Not in 14 centuries.Copy !req
480. Not since we elders first began
to leapfrog through time.Copy !req
481. One awake, two asleep.
That's the way of it.Copy !req
482. It is Marcus' turn to reign,
not mine.Copy !req
483. There's been a complication.Copy !req
484. But I had no choice.Copy !req
485. The coven is in danger,
and Michael is the key—Copy !req
486. Ah, yes.Copy !req
487. The Lycan.Copy !req
488. Please.Copy !req
489. Give me the chance
to get proof you require.Copy !req
490. Fine.Copy !req
491. I will leave it to
Kraven to collect the proof...Copy !req
492. if there is any.Copy !req
493. How could you trust him over me?Copy !req
494. Because he is not the one who
has been tainted by an animal.Copy !req
495. I love you...Copy !req
496. like a daughter,
but you leave me with no choice.Copy !req
497. These rules are in place
for a good reason,Copy !req
498. and they are the only reason
we have survived this long.Copy !req
499. You will not be shown
an ounce of leniency.Copy !req
500. When Amelia arrives, the Council
will convene and decide your fate.Copy !req
501. You have broken the chain
and the Covenant!Copy !req
502. You must be judged!Copy !req
503. U?“Copy !req
504. You should've listened to me
and stayed out of this.Copy !req
505. Now you'll be lucky if I can convince
the Council to spare your life.Copy !req
506. Tell me.Copy !req
507. Did you have the nerve to cut the skin
from his arm, or did Lucian do it for you?Copy !req
508. Mark my words.Copy !req
509. Soon, you'll be
seeing things my way.Copy !req
510. No one opens this door.
Understood?Copy !req
511. I can't afford to have my future queen
run off with that Lycan again.Copy !req
512. Shit.Copy !req
513. Change of plans. Amelia will be
picked up by Soren and his team.Copy !req
514. That's our job.Copy !req
515. Not anymore.Copy !req
516. U?“Copy !req
517. Why are you helping me?Copy !req
518. I'm not. I'm helping me.Copy !req
519. What's going on?Copy !req
520. The perimeter sensor's been tripped.Copy !req
521. We're locking down the mansion.Copy !req
522. It's Selene. She's escaped,
to go to him, to Michael.Copy !req
523. I want that Lycan's head on a plate.Copy !req
524. U?“Copy !req
525. We need to go.Copy !req
526. Get down!Copy !req
527. Go. Go.Copy !req
528. Jump.
Are you fucking kidding me?Copy !req
529. Any luck?Copy !req
530. False alarm.Copy !req
531. The dogs would've been all over it
if anything had gotten near that fence.Copy !req
532. Amelia should have arrived by now.Copy !req
533. Yes.Copy !req
534. Look, I want you to slip off the property
and find out what's keeping her.Copy !req
535. You've got it.Copy !req
536. Maybe we should pull over
and dose him.Copy !req
537. Fuck him. He'll be all right.
We're almost there.Copy !req
538. Oh, shit. He's not gonna make it.
Pull over. Pull over!Copy !req
539. Get the kit.Copy !req
540. Stick him. Stick him.Copy !req
541. My lord.Copy !req
542. Viktor wants
to speak with you.Copy !req
543. My lord.Copy !req
544. I sent for Selene...Copy !req
545. not you.Copy !req
546. She's defied your orders and...Copy !req
547. fled the mansion, my lord.Copy !req
548. Your incompetence
is becoming most taxing.Copy !req
549. It's not my fault.
She's become obsessed,Copy !req
550. thinks that I'm at the core
of some ridiculous conspiracy.Copy !req
551. And here's my proof.Copy !req
552. Now, I want you to tell them
exactly what you told me.Copy !req
553. All right, all right.Copy !req
554. We've been searching for someone
with a special trait.Copy !req
555. A direct descendant
of Alexander Corvinus. ..Copy !req
556. Hungarian...Copy !req
557. a warlord...Copy !req
558. who came to power in the early
seasons of the fifth century.Copy !req
559. Just in time to watch a plague
ravage his village.Copy !req
560. He alone survived.Copy !req
561. Somehow, his body
was able to change the disease,Copy !req
562. mold it to his benefit.Copy !req
563. He became the first true immortal.Copy !req
564. And years later,
he fathered at least two childrenCopy !req
565. who inherited this same trait.Copy !req
566. The sons of the Corvinus clan.Copy !req
567. One bitten by bat, one by wolf,Copy !req
568. one to walk the lonely road
of mortality as a human.Copy !req
569. It's a ridiculous legend. Nothing!Copy !req
570. That may be...Copy !req
571. but our species
do have a common ancestor.Copy !req
572. A mutation of the original virusCopy !req
573. is directly linked to his bloodline.Copy !req
574. There is a descendant
of Corvinus lying there...Copy !req
575. not three feet from you.Copy !req
576. Yes.Copy !req
577. But he's already a Vampire.
We needed a pure source.Copy !req
578. Untainted. An exact duplicate
of the original virus...Copy !req
579. which we learnedCopy !req
580. was hidden away in the genetic
code of his human descendantsCopy !req
581. and passed along
in its latent form...Copy !req
582. down through the ages...Copy !req
583. all the way to Michael Corvin.Copy !req
584. For years, we tried to combine
their bloodlines.Copy !req
585. And for years we failed.Copy !req
586. It was useless.Copy !req
587. Even at the cellular level,
our species seemed destinedCopy !req
588. to destroy each other.Copy !req
589. That is, until we found Michael.Copy !req
590. The Corvinus strain allows
for a perfect union.Copy !req
591. A triple-celled platelet...Copy !req
592. which holds unspeakable power.Copy !req
593. There can be no such union.Copy !req
594. And to speak of it is heresy.Copy !req
595. We'll see.Copy !req
596. Once Lucian has injected himself
with Michael's blood.Copy !req
597. Lucian is dead.Copy !req
598. According to whom?Copy !req
599. I need you to do something for me.Copy !req
600. I can assure you, my childCopy !req
601. Kraven will pay with his life.Copy !req
602. Soon, this house
will lie in ruins.Copy !req
603. Not before you.Copy !req
604. No, no, no, wait. Wait!Copy !req
605. You and you alone
will know the truth of this.Copy !req
606. If Lucian was able to get his hands
on the blood of a Pure-Born,Copy !req
607. a powerful elder like Amelia...Copy !req
608. or yourself...Copy !req
609. and inject it along
with Michael's blood.Copy !req
610. Abomination.Copy !req
611. Half-Vampire,Copy !req
612. half-Lycan,
but stronger than both.Copy !req
613. I need to speak with Kahn.Copy !req
614. My lord.Copy !req
615. The Council members
have been assassinated.Copy !req
616. What of Amelia?Copy !req
617. They bled her dry.Copy !req
618. It has already begun, huh?Copy !req
619. I'm sorry I doubted you.Copy !req
620. Fear not, my child,
absolution will be yours...Copy !req
621. the moment you kill the descendant
of Corvinus, this...Copy !req
622. Michael.Copy !req
623. You've been given an enzyme
to stop the change.Copy !req
624. It may take a little time
for the grogginess to dissipate.Copy !req
625. That's enough!Copy !req
626. Just... go and see
what's keeping Raze, will you?Copy !req
627. I really must apologize.Copy !req
628. He's in desperate need
of a lesson in manners.Copy !req
629. Speaking of manners,
where are mine? Forgive me.Copy !req
630. I'm Lucian.Copy !req
631. I need to go.Copy !req
632. I need to get back.Copy !req
633. There's no going back.Copy !req
634. There's no going anywhere.Copy !req
635. The Vampires will kill you on sight.
Just for being what you are.Copy !req
636. One of us.Copy !req
637. You are one of us.Copy !req
638. What are you doing?Copy !req
639. What are you doing?Copy !req
640. Bringing an end to this conflict.Copy !req
641. Your war, it has nothing
to do with me.Copy !req
642. My War?Copy !req
643. No!Copy !req
644. No!Copy !req
645. No!Copy !req
646. No!Copy !req
647. No! No!Copy !req
648. $Onja!Copy !req
649. They forced you to watch her die.Copy !req
650. Sonja.Copy !req
651. That's what started the war.Copy !req
652. I saw it happen as if I were there.Copy !req
653. We were slaves once.Copy !req
654. The daylight guardians
of the Vampires.Copy !req
655. I was born in servitude...Copy !req
656. yet I harbored them no ill will.Copy !req
657. I even took a Vampire for my bride.Copy !req
658. It was forbidden...Copy !req
659. our union.Copy !req
660. Viktor feared
a blending of the species.Copy !req
661. Feared it so much...Copy !req
662. he killed her.Copy !req
663. His own daughter...Copy !req
664. burnt alive...Copy !req
665. for loving me.Copy !req
666. This is his war...Copy !req
667. Viktor's...Copy !req
668. and he's spent
the last 600 yearsCopy !req
669. exterminating my species.Copy !req
670. What are they gonna do to Selene?Copy !req
671. We have company.Copy !req
672. I thought we had a deal.Copy !req
673. Pafience.Copy !req
674. Kraven.Copy !req
675. These are matters
to be discussed in private.Copy !req
676. Please escort our guests
downstairs.Copy !req
677. The Council has been destroyed.Copy !req
678. Soon, you will have it all.Copy !req
679. Both great covens and an ironclad
peace treaty with the Lycans.Copy !req
680. Who I trust will not be forgotten
when the spoils are tabulated.Copy !req
681. How do you expect me to assume control
now that Viktor's been awakened?Copy !req
682. There's no defeating him.
He grows stronger as we speak.Copy !req
683. And that is precisely why
I need Michael.Copy !req
684. If Viktor were so easy to dispatch...Copy !req
685. you'd have done it yourself
centuries ago.Copy !req
686. Exit shaft! Move it!Copy !req
687. Son of a bitch!Copy !req
688. U?“Copy !req
689. Oh, shit!Copy !req
690. It's Viktor.Copy !req
691. Yes.Copy !req
692. And if you had done your job,
he'd still be in hibernation.Copy !req
693. Where the hell is Raze?Copy !req
694. Is there another way out?Copy !req
695. I guess it never occurred to you that you might
actually have to bleed to pull off this coup.Copy !req
696. Don't even think about leaving.Copy !req
697. U?“Copy !req
698. Silver nitrate.
Bet you weren't expecting that.Copy !req
699. Come on! Move! Move! Move!
Move! Move!Copy !req
700. Lucian.Copy !req
701. Selene!Copy !req
702. Selene!Copy !req
703. Not yet.Copy !req
704. I have to get you out.
Viktor's on his way.Copy !req
705. And he won't be satisfied
until every Lycan's dead.Copy !req
706. They'll kill you too,
just for helping me.Copy !req
707. I know.Copy !req
708. I know what started the war.Copy !req
709. That's enough.
You're coming with me!Copy !req
710. I hope I live long enough to see
Viktor choke the life from you!Copy !req
711. I bet you do.Copy !req
712. But let me tell you a little something
about your beloved dark father.Copy !req
713. He's the one who killed your family.Copy !req
714. Not the Lycans.Copy !req
715. Never could follow his own rules.Copy !req
716. Said he couldn't abide the taste
of livestock.Copy !req
717. So every once in a while, he went out
and gorged himself on human blood.Copy !req
718. I kept his secrets...Copy !req
719. cleaned up the mess.Copy !req
720. But it was he...Copy !req
721. who crept room to roomCopy !req
722. dispatching everyone
close to your heart.Copy !req
723. But when he got to you,Copy !req
724. he just couldn't bear the thought
of draining you dry.Copy !req
725. You, who reminded him so much
of his precious Sonja...Copy !req
726. the daughter
he condemned to death.Copy !req
727. Lies.Copy !req
728. Believe what you want.Copy !req
729. Now come on.Copy !req
730. Your place is by my side.Copy !req
731. So be it.Copy !req
732. Bite him!Copy !req
733. MAN".
Half-Vampire...Copy !req
734. half-Lycan...Copy !req
735. but stronger than both.Copy !req
736. What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
737. You may have killed me...Copy !req
738. cousin.Copy !req
739. But my will...Copy !req
740. is done regardless.Copy !req
741. Where is he?Copy !req
742. Where's Kraven?Copy !req
743. Forgive me, my child.Copy !req
744. It wasn't the Lycans.Copy !req
745. It was you.Copy !req
746. Leave us.Copy !req
747. How could you bear my trustCopy !req
748. knowing that you'd
killed my family?Copy !req
749. Yes.Copy !req
750. I have taken from you.Copy !req
751. But I have given so much more.Copy !req
752. Is it not a fair trade, the life I have
granted you? The gift of immortality?Copy !req
753. And the life of your daughter?Copy !req
754. Your own flesh and blood?Copy !req
755. I loved my daughter!Copy !req
756. But the abomination growing
in her wombCopy !req
757. was a betrayal of me
and of the coven!Copy !req
758. I did what was necessary
to protect the species,Copy !req
759. as I am forced to do yet again.Copy !req
760. No!Copy !req
761. Time to die.Copy !req
762. Though I cannot predict the future,Copy !req
763. the consequences of tonight
will reverberate through the hallsCopy !req
764. of both great covens
for many years to come.Copy !req
765. Two Vampire elders
have been slain,Copy !req
766. one by my own hand.Copy !req
767. Soon, Marcus will take the throne.Copy !req
768. And a tide of anger and retribution
will spill out into the night.Copy !req
769. Differences will be set aside.Copy !req
770. Allegiances will be made.Copy !req
771. And soon...Copy !req
772. I will become the hunted.Copy !req
773. U?“Copy !req
