- [protester 1] We don't support this!

00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:35,291
Thank you all.

00:00:35,375 --> 00:00:37,666
Let's go get 'em!

00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:45,166
[chuckles]
10
00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:48,541
Have we heard anything more
from the devil's emissary?
11
00:00:49,541 --> 00:00:53,083
Vergil has yet to make further contact,
but he will.
12
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:57,958
His questions to the survivors of
our welcome team were all about Uroboros.
13
00:00:58,958 --> 00:00:59,875
And me.
14
00:01:00,875 --> 00:01:02,875

[gasps]
16
00:01:29,291 --> 00:01:32,791
Hey, buddy,
this is supposed to be a full load.
17
00:01:32,875 --> 00:01:34,541
All right, where's the Hellspawn?
18
00:01:34,625 --> 00:01:35,625
Huh?
19
00:01:38,125 --> 00:01:39,166
[Vergil] Here.
20
00:01:43,541 --> 00:01:46,333
[Baines] And when he does resurface?
21
00:01:47,125 --> 00:01:50,083
He already beat
the weapon you built to stop him.
22
00:01:50,666 --> 00:01:54,750
We still have Vergil's
exact genetic equal in our possession.
23
00:01:54,833 --> 00:01:56,500
Just waiting to be thawed.
24
00:01:56,583 --> 00:01:59,250
I tried to make Dante an asset.
25
00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:03,791
He's a reckless delinquent
with a child's contempt for authority.
26
00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:07,250
He's also the only one
who can stand against his brother.
27
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,500
We are going to deploy him.
28
00:02:10,125 --> 00:02:12,583
I'm confident our new commander
29
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:15,291
will give Dante the motivation he needs.
30
00:02:15,375 --> 00:02:17,416
It's the reason I promoted her.
31
00:02:18,666 --> 00:02:23,041
Don't tell me their unique rapport
escaped your notice.
32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,250
Unless that's why
you wanted him to stay frozen.

I have something to report.

that your husband…

is a demon!

- Yes.

Arius wants us to wake him up.

Hello! There you are.

How the hell are you?
I hope the grub was all right.

00:03:37,583 --> 00:03:43,291
- Mr. President, I was just--
- Now, hold your horses a dang minute.
51
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:46,500
I wanted to congratulate
the both of y'all.
52
00:03:46,583 --> 00:03:50,583
Heard you nabbed yourselves
a mighty powerful demon artifact.
53
00:03:50,666 --> 00:03:54,375
One of the Arcana, right?
54

55
00:03:55,791 --> 00:03:58,375
You ain't the only one
who got your own sources.
56
00:03:58,458 --> 00:04:02,833
You fed me false intel
so I'd send our boys in to get whooped,
57
00:04:02,916 --> 00:04:05,125
while your mercs
snuck through the back door.
58
00:04:05,208 --> 00:04:09,500
You fucked me for DARKCOM's benefit,
like always.
59
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:11,458
I determined it was best
60
00:04:11,541 --> 00:04:15,083
for you to maintain deniability,
given the sensitive nature--
61
00:04:15,166 --> 00:04:17,750
You think this is a goddamn joke?
62
00:04:17,833 --> 00:04:22,541
Your evangelical shit was supposed to
get us two extra points in the South.
63
00:04:22,625 --> 00:04:25,458
And I'm in a war with Hell!
64
00:04:25,541 --> 00:04:30,416
- Let God fight his own damn battles.
- God's donations didn't put you in office.

00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:31,458
Mine did.
66
00:04:32,041 --> 00:04:37,041
And your batshit crusade
is gonna get me impeached!
67
00:04:37,125 --> 00:04:41,458
Now, it's time I remind y'all
who the el jefe is around here.
68
00:04:41,541 --> 00:04:42,833
Uh-huh.
69
00:04:42,916 --> 00:04:48,208
Maybe I'll just tear up those exclusive
demon realm mining contracts of yours.

Come on!

I will do whatever it takes
to see God's Kingdom on Earth.

Whether that means deferring temporarily
to a self-aggrandizing apostate,

Always the criticism.

It was Mundus who freed me
from my own bondage.

No idea why.

There have been some… issues in the field.

and killed our mom.

He's been alive this whole time
149
00:10:04,166 --> 00:10:06,416
and got brainwashed
into serving the demon king,
150
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:07,833
who was enemies with our dad.
151

Same guy who ordered the attack.
152

I see.

If that's it, I'll be going.

[muffled] Lady! Finally!
Where have you been?
162
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:46,166
Hey, can I get you anything?
163
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:50,750
Well, after Lady came to meet me,
164
00:10:50,833 --> 00:10:53,333
we went to see
the crazy old woman who makes guns.
165
00:10:53,416 --> 00:10:54,375
[doctor] Wait, go back.
166
00:10:54,458 --> 00:10:55,833
- [gunsmith] Huh?
- [Dante] Hmm?
167
00:10:56,416 --> 00:10:57,541
What's the problem?
168
00:10:57,625 --> 00:11:01,291
Hmm, isn't Commander Arkham
the one you said, quote,
169
00:11:01,375 --> 00:11:04,875
"Tricked you and drugged you
to imprison you here in the first place"?
170
00:11:04,958 --> 00:11:08,458
Ah, that's just me and Lady's thing.
It's a whole back and forth.
171
00:11:08,541 --> 00:11:11,875
We try to trap each other,
kill each other, blow each other up.
172
00:11:11,958 --> 00:11:15,750
I mean, it's mostly her to me,
but I'm a superpowered demon hybrid.
173
00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:17,416
I gotta give her a fair shot.
174
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:20,500
Dante, I want you to think a minute.
175
00:11:20,583 --> 00:11:24,541
Tell me exactly what happened
between you and Arkham in that lab.
176
00:11:24,625 --> 00:11:28,041
Every little thing you remember,
from your perspective.

Yes, but I have to tell you,

your brother is working
for the demon king Mundus.

to play fast and loose with my fate?

We're covered by
a doctor-patient privilege here.
238
00:14:24,250 --> 00:14:26,666
Okay, I'll tell you the plan.
239
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:28,416
We capture Vergil, take his blood,
240
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,666
and use it to open the rift between
our world and the Demon Realm.

what you and Dante were fighting

[Lady] It's only gonna be
temporary this time.
244
00:14:40,458 --> 00:14:42,083
We need it open just long enough

for us to fire an ultimate demon weapon
called the Arcana through it.
246

To kill Mundus in one shot.

00:21:39,708 --> 00:21:43,083
I didn't want this to get stashed away
in some evidence locker,
355
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:44,958
so I had Nell hold on to it.
356
00:21:45,041 --> 00:21:47,083
We've got something else you'll like.
357
00:21:57,583 --> 00:21:59,625
[Nell] These are the main attraction.
358
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:03,541
I had Nell make them for you.
359
00:22:03,625 --> 00:22:04,958
Just in case.
360
00:22:05,041 --> 00:22:08,458
They're Makaian metal, so you won't
mangle them up like you always do.
361
00:22:08,541 --> 00:22:13,041
[Nell] .45 caliber, semi-automatic,
gold-plated triggers,
362
00:22:13,125 --> 00:22:15,958
ported muzzle compensators
to reduce recoil,
363
00:22:16,041 --> 00:22:18,416
and custom sight systems.
364
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,041
- [Dante] Who are the chicks?
- Those are two fine ladies you're holding.
365
00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:24,500
Ebony and Ivory.
366
00:22:24,583 --> 00:22:27,708
I based their portraits off of my own,
can't you tell?
367
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:32,958
[rowdy rap metal music playing]
368
00:23:02,708 --> 00:23:03,708
[music halts]
369
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:06,791
Yeah, I think I can work with these.
370
00:23:09,125 --> 00:23:11,000
Found your old mercenary alias.
371
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:14,791
It's the most thoughtful gift
anyone's ever given me.
372
00:23:16,041 --> 00:23:16,916
[announcer] DARKCOM.
373
00:23:20,458 --> 00:23:24,166
Y'all take whatever else you want now,
just be quiet about it.
374
00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:25,875
My show's almost on.
375
00:23:25,958 --> 00:23:29,166
You'll get through this, Dante.
I believe in you.
376
00:23:30,166 --> 00:23:32,750
Welcome to the show. I'm Stan Sullivan.
377
00:23:33,458 --> 00:23:37,833
Today we have a special, unplanned guest.
378
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:40,875
An official ambassador
from the Demon Realm,
379
00:23:40,958 --> 00:23:44,500
whose name is Vergil the demon.
380
00:23:44,583 --> 00:23:45,541
What?
381
00:23:45,625 --> 00:23:47,416
No fucking way.
382
00:23:47,500 --> 00:23:49,791
- [audience member 1] Oh my God.
- [audience member 2] Really?
383
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:00,041
Thank you for having me, Stan.
384
00:24:04,041 --> 00:24:05,541
Well, to start, Vergil,
385
00:24:05,625 --> 00:24:06,750
if I can call you that,
386
00:24:06,833 --> 00:24:09,750
something I think a lot of
our audience will be wondering…
387
00:24:09,833 --> 00:24:13,375
You don't exactly look like a demon.
388
00:24:14,083 --> 00:24:18,458
And what is it
that a demon looks like, Stan?
389
00:24:22,958 --> 00:24:23,958
[nervous gulp]
390
00:24:26,375 --> 00:24:27,583
I'm just kidding.
391
00:24:28,166 --> 00:24:29,583
I, of course, know what you mean.
392
00:24:29,666 --> 00:24:32,250
[jazzy fanfare playing]
393
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:35,375
[Baines seethes]
394
00:24:36,541 --> 00:24:37,583
Hmm.
395
00:24:39,583 --> 00:24:41,708
[Vergil] The explanation is simple.
396
00:24:41,791 --> 00:24:44,916
{\an8}My father was a demon,
but my mother was human.
397
00:24:47,250 --> 00:24:50,125
Wow. I… I didn't even know that--
398
00:24:50,208 --> 00:24:52,791
We need to shut this down. Now.
399
00:24:52,875 --> 00:24:56,625
Shut it down? This is can't-miss TV.
400
00:24:56,708 --> 00:24:59,583
Not the move I expected
from a brooding warrior.
401
00:24:59,666 --> 00:25:01,916
He's upended the entire game board.
402
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,375
Utterly inspired.
403
00:25:03,458 --> 00:25:06,041
[Stan] Are there many others
who are like you?
404
00:25:06,125 --> 00:25:08,083
Others like me?
405
00:25:08,666 --> 00:25:09,958
Only one.
406
00:25:10,041 --> 00:25:12,166
I was born on Earth.
407
00:25:12,250 --> 00:25:15,333
But I've lived on Makai
since I was a child.
408
00:25:15,416 --> 00:25:19,291
I return now on behalf of Mundus, my king.
409
00:25:19,375 --> 00:25:22,625
You have all been told
that our world is Hell,
410
00:25:22,708 --> 00:25:24,416
and our ruler the Devil.
411
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:27,125
But these are only stories.
412
00:25:27,208 --> 00:25:30,125
They have nothing to do
with our true nature.
413
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,333
Mundus seeks simply
to preserve the proper order of his realm.
414
00:25:35,416 --> 00:25:37,625
How can he defend that monster?
415
00:25:37,708 --> 00:25:38,708
When he…
416
00:25:39,208 --> 00:25:43,125
Your leaders, with the help
of their well-paid mouthpieces,
417
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:46,625
have sold you this attempted invasion
as a moral battle.
418
00:25:46,708 --> 00:25:48,166
Good versus evil.
419
00:25:48,250 --> 00:25:50,083
Humanity versus Hell.
420
00:25:50,166 --> 00:25:54,958
Unlike them, I believe you are
intelligent enough to face reality.
421
00:25:56,958 --> 00:25:59,791
{\an8}These are stills
taken from security footage
422
00:25:59,875 --> 00:26:03,500
{\an8}at one of your country's
black site demon prisons.
423
00:26:03,583 --> 00:26:07,666
Showing your soldiers
torturing Makaians without trial,
424
00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:10,958
for no crime other than their origins.
425
00:26:11,041 --> 00:26:12,208
[audience murmuring]
426
00:26:13,625 --> 00:26:15,250
God damn it!
427
00:26:16,416 --> 00:26:18,291
Find out how he got those!
428
00:26:18,375 --> 00:26:21,000
Those demons aren't from Mundus's troops.
429
00:26:21,083 --> 00:26:23,291
They're civilians, refugees.
430
00:26:23,375 --> 00:26:26,416
{\an8}There can be no refugees from Hell.
431
00:26:26,916 --> 00:26:30,416
I thought you would have seen
your error in that by now.
432
00:26:31,958 --> 00:26:37,375
Hmm. If his big play is to hope people
sympathize with demons…
433
00:26:37,958 --> 00:26:42,458
This prison torturing innocent civilians
is a private facility,
434
00:26:42,541 --> 00:26:47,916
whose ownership can be traced
to a single parent corporation, Uroboros.
435
00:26:48,666 --> 00:26:53,416
The invasion of Makai and the lives
it's claimed from both our realms
436
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:58,583
has all been engineered by one man,
Arius von Erenburg.
437
00:26:58,666 --> 00:27:03,958
Your country's entire cause for taking up
arms against Makai is built on a lie.
438
00:27:04,041 --> 00:27:05,750
Manufactured by Arius.
439
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:10,750
The so-called demon who attacked
New York City, the White Rabbit,
440
00:27:10,833 --> 00:27:12,583
- was in fact--
- Cut the feed!
441
00:27:13,125 --> 00:27:14,208
[high-pitched drone]
442
00:27:14,291 --> 00:27:16,916
[crowd clamoring]
443
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:19,375
Huh.
444
00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:22,458
That turned out all right.
445
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,625
That was the greatest broadcast
in TV history.
446
00:27:38,708 --> 00:27:41,375
And I was part of it! [laughs]
447
00:27:41,458 --> 00:27:44,000
[audience chanting] Vergil! Vergil!
448
00:27:44,083 --> 00:27:46,083
Vergil! Vergil!
449
00:27:51,333 --> 00:27:53,041
[Arius snarls]
450
00:27:56,750 --> 00:28:00,125
[haltingly] Uh, sir. Mr. Vergil.
451
00:28:00,625 --> 00:28:03,125
It's the president.
452
00:28:03,791 --> 00:28:05,875
[Hopper] Vergil. Compadre.
453
00:28:05,958 --> 00:28:08,750
Seeing as you're
Makai's ambassador and all,
454
00:28:09,541 --> 00:28:13,000
I figured you and I should negotiate.
455
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:19,750
[brooding, mysterious music playing]
456
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,583
I'll make sure you're protected.
You and the other…
457
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
families.
458
00:28:52,708 --> 00:28:53,708
{\an8}Baines!
459
00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:57,500
[doctor] You know
what Vergil was gonna say.
460
00:28:57,583 --> 00:28:59,666
The lie Arius is covering up.
461
00:29:00,166 --> 00:29:03,375
Mundus needs to be defeated.
462
00:29:04,833 --> 00:29:07,000
He really is on Mundus's side.
463
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
[alarm klaxon beeping]
464
00:29:09,083 --> 00:29:12,416
[PA alert system]
Code red. Vergil is incoming.
465
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:16,750
[doctor] Now wait, Dante. I don't believe
you're psychologically prepared to…
466
00:29:16,833 --> 00:29:19,583
I am not clearing you for action.
467
00:29:19,666 --> 00:29:25,125
There will be a congressional
committee hearing about this. Hello?
468
00:29:27,250 --> 00:29:31,250
[PA alert system]
Code red. Vergil is incoming.
469
00:29:31,333 --> 00:29:34,166
T-minus ten minutes.
470
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,250
[sweeping, dramatic music building]
471
00:30:07,916 --> 00:30:09,333
Don't worry, Mom.
472
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,041
I'll get him back.
473
00:30:18,541 --> 00:30:20,541
[dramatic outro music playing]
