Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:16,683
- There's something strange
happening
2
00:00:16,725 --> 00:00:17,809
with me and Rose.
3
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:20,061
- Remember!
- [gasps]
4
00:00:20,103 --> 00:00:22,647
- Don't freak out.
- Okay.
5
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,816
[dramatic music]
6
00:00:24,858 --> 00:00:26,401
That's, um, new.
7
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:29,779
- I'm actually a Spirit User
just like St. Vladimir.
8
00:00:29,821 --> 00:00:31,531
- When I become queen,
9
00:00:31,573 --> 00:00:33,742
we'll know if someone is an
incompetent fighter.
10
00:00:33,783 --> 00:00:34,784
- That's a lie.
11
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:36,286
He was one of the best.
12
00:00:36,327 --> 00:00:38,413
- Mikhail Tanner betrayed us
13
00:00:38,455 --> 00:00:41,041
by allowing himself
to be turned Strigoi.
14
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:43,376
- [growling]
15
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:45,170
- Guardians follow orders,
Rose,
16
00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:46,338
or the system crumbles.
17
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:48,048
- The system is broken.
18
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:49,716
- I have to follow orders.
19
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:51,593
- I don't.
20
00:00:51,634 --> 00:00:53,011
- Lady Vasilissa,
21
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:54,763
the last Dragomir.
22
00:00:54,804 --> 00:00:56,222
I'm Adrian, by the way.
23
00:00:56,264 --> 00:00:57,807
- So what do you know
about Saint Vladimir?
24
00:00:57,849 --> 00:00:59,976
- I can help you,
but only if you come back.
25
00:01:00,018 --> 00:01:01,728
Wake up.
26
00:01:01,770 --> 00:01:03,063
- You Dream Walked.
27
00:01:03,104 --> 00:01:04,064
You're a Spirit User.
28
00:01:04,105 --> 00:01:05,315
- You up for an adventure?
29
00:01:05,357 --> 00:01:07,317
Get some of those answers
that you want.
30
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:09,069
- I know you're hurting.
31
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:10,820
And I'd do anything
to make it stop.
32
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:16,785
* *
33
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:24,751
- Once there were 13 saints.
34
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:29,172
Today, their children's
children's children
35
00:01:29,214 --> 00:01:31,257
are called Royals.
36
00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:33,385
But they were saints
back then,
37
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:35,428
the best of the Moroi.
38
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:38,306
[foreboding music]
39
00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:42,310
And the best of the saints
was Vladimir,
40
00:01:42,352 --> 00:01:47,190
the Messenger, the Founder.
41
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:49,109
It was Vladimir
who had the vision:
42
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:51,111
a world for the Moroi,
43
00:01:51,152 --> 00:01:54,614
secret and isolated
from the barbarous humans
44
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:58,159
with their wars of religion,
wars of conquest,
45
00:01:58,201 --> 00:02:00,036
wars of intolerance.
46
00:02:00,078 --> 00:02:04,082
And that vision was embodied
in the human treaty,
47
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:08,795
which gave all Moroi a home
and gave all Dhampirs
48
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:14,009
a purpose in the great,
holy Elemental Order.
49
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:15,802
You know this story.
50
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:18,096
It's the one they tell
children in the academies
51
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:20,098
and in Feast Day homilies.
52
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,309
It's the first great lie.
53
00:02:23,351 --> 00:02:27,188
The happy lie of St. Vladimir.
54
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:31,317
- [speaking Portuguese]
55
00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:34,362
- [hissing]
56
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:37,907
- But the truth will come out
because the truth always does.
57
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:44,080
- Shh.
58
00:02:44,122 --> 00:02:47,625
[speaking Portuguese]
59
00:02:48,585 --> 00:02:51,755
- And woe unto us if we
let the lies make us forget
60
00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:55,759
the real dangers out there
because they are out there,
61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,845
and they are very, very real.
62
00:02:58,887 --> 00:03:01,848
[dramatic music]
63
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:08,813
* *
64
00:03:19,032 --> 00:03:21,451
- It is time, Your Majesty.
65
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:23,453
The hope we had for unanimity
from the Council
66
00:03:23,495 --> 00:03:25,955
has gone by the wayside.
67
00:03:25,997 --> 00:03:29,042
Yes, because of my
daughter's outburst.
68
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:30,877
But we need to act.
69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,004
The only way we'll get
a clear and decisive mandate
70
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,881
is if you lead us there.
71
00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:38,510
You need to declare for me.
72
00:03:40,595 --> 00:03:44,641
- They are so beautiful
after a feed.
73
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:47,977
I know they say it is
the outrush of chemicals
74
00:03:48,019 --> 00:03:50,980
in their brain that
our bite releases,
75
00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:54,067
but there is a part of me
that always believed
76
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:57,862
we take their cares
along with their blood.
77
00:04:03,785 --> 00:04:06,913
I hate the idea of an
Elementalist on the throne,
78
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:09,749
especially Tatiana Vogel.
79
00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:14,754
Happily, by my count,
even after last night's fiasco,
80
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:16,923
if you bring the three
more persuadable
81
00:04:16,965 --> 00:04:18,758
heads of family home--
82
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,429
Abby Batista, Peter Tarus,
and Evette Ozera,
83
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:24,597
you should have a majority.
84
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:28,476
Six to five--
that is enough for a win.
85
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:31,021
- Yes, but--
- No, Victor.
86
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:34,190
I cannot mandate this.
87
00:04:34,232 --> 00:04:37,235
There was a moment in the wake
of Andre's death, yes,
88
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:41,906
but now, all our hatreds and
troubles are out in the open.
89
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:46,453
The only way to hold the throne
is to win the crown,
90
00:04:46,494 --> 00:04:50,790
legitimately
and without my help.
91
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:53,418
You have until
tonight's closing caucus
92
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,463
to get your votes.
93
00:04:56,504 --> 00:04:58,256
- * No escape *
94
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:00,300
[upbeat music]
95
00:05:00,342 --> 00:05:03,803
* Get away *
96
00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:05,805
* My game to play *
97
00:05:05,847 --> 00:05:08,308
* *
98
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:11,686
* I got you where I want you *
99
00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:13,229
* No escape *
100
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:17,484
- [panting]
101
00:05:17,525 --> 00:05:22,530
* *
102
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:25,867
- * I got you
where I want you *
103
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:28,411
- Gotcha.
104
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,038
- Cheater.
105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,749
There's no way
that you beat me here
106
00:05:32,791 --> 00:05:37,087
and set up an ambush unless
you scouted ahead of time.
107
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:40,173
- Recon is just basic
perimeter control.
108
00:05:40,215 --> 00:05:42,842
- You said we were going blind.
109
00:05:42,884 --> 00:05:46,304
- Suddenly, Rose Hathaway
is a believer in rules.
110
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:49,557
- Or maybe
you've been scouting out
111
00:05:49,599 --> 00:05:51,559
secret places to get me into.
112
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:54,562
[soft music]
113
00:05:54,604 --> 00:06:01,736
* *
114
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,710
- Rose?
115
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:23,383
- Uh-huh.
116
00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:25,427
- I need a favor.
117
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:30,724
- The risk of even
one more person knowing, Lissa.
118
00:06:30,765 --> 00:06:32,684
- Yeah, after he just
walks into my dream
119
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,060
and makes himself at home?
120
00:06:34,102 --> 00:06:37,647
Rose, Adrian Ivashkov
and I are in the same boat.
121
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:41,276
I know of three
confirmed Spirit Users.
122
00:06:41,317 --> 00:06:42,902
Vlad went Dark.
123
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,655
I might be losing my mind,
and the last one--
124
00:06:45,697 --> 00:06:47,282
- Is a stone drunk,
from what I hear.
125
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:48,658
- A self-medicating drunk
126
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,910
who drinks to keep
the Darkness at bay.
127
00:06:50,952 --> 00:06:52,871
But he might have answers,
and right now,
128
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:54,664
I need answers
more than I need lectures
129
00:06:54,706 --> 00:06:57,625
about how scary it is.
130
00:06:57,667 --> 00:07:00,795
Because I might end up
the same as Adrian
131
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:04,924
if I don't find another way of
keeping the Darkness in check.
132
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:07,260
And this might be our only shot
133
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:09,804
to figure out this link
you and I have.
134
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:14,184
- You're going to need
Dimitri as well, you know.
135
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:19,773
And what am I
signing up for here?
136
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:21,524
- That's the part
that doesn't suck.
137
00:07:21,566 --> 00:07:23,109
- A trip into the human world.
138
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:24,778
Do you realize
the kind of pre-planning
139
00:07:24,819 --> 00:07:26,112
that normally takes?
140
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,740
It's a playground
for Strigoi out there.
141
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:31,785
Route planning, recon,
coordination of guards.
142
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:33,286
We don't have
the necessary clearances.
143
00:07:33,328 --> 00:07:35,455
They won't so much as open
the provincial gates for us.
144
00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:36,998
- They will for me.
145
00:07:39,209 --> 00:07:41,378
- This is foolhardy.
146
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:43,963
Go another day, when I know
I can keep you safe.
147
00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:47,842
- Wow, you got a real
earnest one here.
148
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:49,844
Are you sure he's cool
for what we got to do?
149
00:07:49,886 --> 00:07:52,722
- I trust him implicitly.
150
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:54,307
This is what I'm doing.
151
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:56,643
And your job is to make sure
I don't die doing it,
152
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:58,978
so are you in,
or are you leaving me
153
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:01,189
to the human world with only
Adrian to protect me?
154
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:05,193
- I am useless in a fight.
155
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:08,905
Speaking of which, listen.
156
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:12,575
You told me that I would
have my own Guardian.
157
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:14,828
- I know, I'm late.
158
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:17,831
- Well, hello, little Dhampir.
159
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:21,001
[suggestive music]
160
00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:22,335
* *
161
00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:23,878
- This is the guy?
162
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:29,592
[laughs]
I'm driving.
163
00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:35,056
- I am in your hands.
164
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:42,022
* *
165
00:08:43,606 --> 00:08:45,734
- Have you ever even
driven a car before?
166
00:08:54,576 --> 00:08:56,327
- Guess I'm in your hands.
167
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:08,548
- * Make a night to regret *
168
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:11,217
* Makes 'em go and sweat
to the moon, yeah *
169
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:14,054
* Come alive for the sunset *
170
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:16,473
* Hearts racing
in the darkness *
171
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:17,849
* We go, we go *
172
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:19,934
- And they just comply?
173
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:21,644
Whatever you tell them?
174
00:09:21,686 --> 00:09:23,897
- Most of the time.
175
00:09:23,938 --> 00:09:26,274
- When you tried that with me,
I could feel you
176
00:09:26,316 --> 00:09:29,027
knocking at the door
of my consciousness.
177
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:30,403
I'm envious.
178
00:09:30,445 --> 00:09:33,490
- Says the man who can
just stroll into my dreams.
179
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:35,075
- About that.
[clears throat]
180

361
00:19:00,181 --> 00:19:02,100
- * If you let go *
362
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:03,810
* If you're down for more *
363
00:19:03,852 --> 00:19:05,311
* Till we six feet below *
364
00:19:05,353 --> 00:19:07,731
* Till we six feet below *
365
00:19:07,772 --> 00:19:10,108
* If you gotta know *
366
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:11,234
* *
367
00:19:11,276 --> 00:19:14,446
* Till we six feet below *
368
00:19:14,487 --> 00:19:18,867
* *
369
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:23,079
[tires squealing]
370
00:19:23,121 --> 00:19:25,373
- I don't see anyone following.
371
00:19:25,415 --> 00:19:27,125
- What the hell was that
back there?
372
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:29,336
- There were Strigoi.
- I didn't see any Strigoi.
373
00:19:29,377 --> 00:19:31,421
- They were there, trust me.
374
00:19:31,463 --> 00:19:33,965
- What the hell
was that back there?
375
00:19:34,007 --> 00:19:35,342
Not the Strigoi.
376
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:44,684
Took you long enough.
377
00:19:44,726 --> 00:19:46,770
[soft music]
378
00:19:46,811 --> 00:19:48,521
I like it.
379
00:19:52,067 --> 00:19:55,278
- Just tell us
where we're going.
380
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,197
- A little moonlight
boat ride, anyone?
381
00:19:57,238 --> 00:20:04,371
* *
382
00:20:22,013 --> 00:20:23,306
- They're down there,
383
00:20:23,348 --> 00:20:26,309
brainstorming questions
for their heretic.
384
00:20:26,351 --> 00:20:28,687
It's the nerdiest
I've ever seen her.
385
00:20:31,523 --> 00:20:32,691
- Keep warm.
386
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:43,785
- Do you ever think
about another life?
387
00:20:43,827 --> 00:20:46,329
Being more than just a pawn
they can rip from your home
388
00:20:46,371 --> 00:20:49,416
or throw Strigoi at for fun?
389
00:20:49,457 --> 00:20:52,836
A life outside the Dominion.
390
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:56,047
While we were dancing,
391
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:58,717
you wanted that freedom too.
392
00:21:13,356 --> 00:21:17,986
- When I was 13, two years
into my academy training,
393
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:20,572
they gave us
a Feast Day furlough.
394
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:23,908
I went to see my mother,
my little sisters
395
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:26,202
back on the Commune.
396
00:21:26,244 --> 00:21:28,538
This time, my father--
397
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:30,915
or the Royal who fathered me--
398
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,459
was visiting too.
399
00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:38,757
I'd met him a few times,
400
00:21:38,798 --> 00:21:41,343
heard him a few times
401
00:21:41,384 --> 00:21:44,763
on the far side of the wall,
402
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:48,475
taking it out on her.
403
00:21:48,516 --> 00:21:52,228
Whatever a posh Moroi fucker
has to take out on anybody.
404
00:21:55,148 --> 00:21:59,319
I had no idea how angry I was
405
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:01,279
till I found myself on him.
406
00:22:03,198 --> 00:22:06,284
Years of anger just...
407
00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:09,245
poured out of me.
408
00:22:09,287 --> 00:22:13,625
And when it was done,
I remember the fear,
409
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:15,168
not just his.
410
00:22:17,295 --> 00:22:20,757
But also the fear in the eyes
of my mother,
411
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,509
my sisters.
412
00:22:26,304 --> 00:22:29,349
And the fear I felt
413
00:22:29,391 --> 00:22:31,643
of that thing in me.
414
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:37,232
It's why I need the code
of the Guardian life,
415
00:22:37,273 --> 00:22:39,484
to keep that thing in check.
416
00:22:41,736 --> 00:22:43,321
Freedom.
417
00:22:46,074 --> 00:22:48,410
Freedom scares me
to death, Rose.
418
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:54,082
Or it did until--
419
00:22:54,124 --> 00:22:55,875
- Until now?
420
00:22:55,917 --> 00:23:02,841
* *
421
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,120
[suspenseful music]
422
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:39,002
* *
423
00:23:41,838 --> 00:23:43,673
- Where the hell are we?
424
00:23:53,016 --> 00:23:55,185
- You've had a line
on this woman for a while now.
425
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:57,020
How have you never come to
ask these questions before?
426
00:23:59,731 --> 00:24:01,608
- Sometimes you need
the right answers to be able
427
00:24:01,649 --> 00:24:03,318
to ask the right questions.
428
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:09,949
* *
429
00:24:28,009 --> 00:24:30,637
- Clarice Sewani.
I'm Adrian--
430
00:24:30,679 --> 00:24:32,430
- I know who you are,
and the answer
431
00:24:32,472 --> 00:24:33,682
is the same as it's been
for everyone
432
00:24:33,723 --> 00:24:36,309
you've sent to hassle me:
fuck off.
433
00:24:36,351 --> 00:24:39,104
- Adrian, what are you doing?
434
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:41,481
- What do you think,
Lord Ivashkov?
435
00:24:41,523 --> 00:24:42,565
Just gonna force your way in?
436
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:43,733
- Adrian...
437
00:24:43,775 --> 00:24:45,527
- Gonna set your Guardians
on me?
438
00:24:45,568 --> 00:24:47,237
You think you can make me talk?
439
00:24:47,278 --> 00:24:49,906
- No.
440
00:24:49,948 --> 00:24:51,741
She can.
441
00:24:55,245 --> 00:24:58,206
She's not gonna give us
what we need if you don't.
442
00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:05,338
- I will.
443
00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:08,591
- You have Compulsion.
444
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,176
You're a Messenger.
445
00:25:12,262 --> 00:25:15,140
- Which means
I can make you talk,
446
00:25:15,181 --> 00:25:16,683
if I choose to.
447
00:25:16,725 --> 00:25:23,857
* *
448
00:25:43,585 --> 00:25:45,795
- Are you okay?
449
00:25:45,837 --> 00:25:49,257
- I should be asking you.
450
00:25:49,299 --> 00:25:50,633
I'm fine.
451
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:55,972
- Here.
452
00:26:01,978 --> 00:26:03,355
[sighs]
You're pushing yourself.
453
00:26:03,396 --> 00:26:06,274
- I'm just--I'm just tired.
454
00:26:06,316 --> 00:26:07,609
But I did it.
455
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:10,445
I will be king.
456
00:26:10,487 --> 00:26:13,323
I--
[coughs]
457
00:26:13,365 --> 00:26:14,824
[groans]
458
00:26:18,953 --> 00:26:24,000
I just--I just need to make it
through this last night.
459
00:26:24,042 --> 00:26:26,378
The Queen will
submit me to caucus,
460
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:28,004
the votes will formalize it,
461
00:26:28,046 --> 00:26:29,798
and then you and I
can both rest.
462
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:31,299
- But you have to make it
through tonight
463
00:26:31,341 --> 00:26:36,596
looking like a king,
and you can barely stand.
464
00:26:36,638 --> 00:26:41,017
Do you really think they'll
allow it if they see this?
465
00:26:41,059 --> 00:26:45,146
Dad, would the Unionists
even support you?
466
00:26:45,188 --> 00:26:48,566
I believe in you.
467
00:26:48,608 --> 00:26:50,902
And I'm better. Look at me.
468
00:26:50,944 --> 00:26:53,446
I slept. I had a feed.
469
00:26:53,488 --> 00:26:55,615
I'm gonna heal you again.
470
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:57,992
I am. I can handle it.
471
00:26:58,034 --> 00:27:01,454
And after last night,
472
00:27:01,496 --> 00:27:04,958
there isn't much in my life
that's come to anything.
473
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,920
But this, I can do.
474
00:27:08,962 --> 00:27:11,840
[soft dramatic music]
475
00:27:11,881 --> 00:27:14,175
I can make you king.
476
00:27:29,566 --> 00:27:31,443
Ready?
477
00:27:41,036 --> 00:27:43,038
- A man who raises
such daughters
478
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:44,873
seeks to be the father
to our people.
479
00:27:44,914 --> 00:27:46,833
It cannot be.
480
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:49,711
Your Holiness,
it's time you stopped Victor
481
00:27:49,753 --> 00:27:51,755
once and for all.
482
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:53,173
- Me?
483
00:27:56,134 --> 00:27:59,679
I represent
the Elemental Way, my dear.
484
00:27:59,721 --> 00:28:00,972
Not the mortal one.
485
00:28:01,014 --> 00:28:03,808
- That distinction
is exactly the problem.
486
00:28:03,850 --> 00:28:05,518
The Strigoi are at the gates.
487
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,898
Our numbers are dwindling,
and we are dithering.
488
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:15,278
We need to think bigger.
489
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,573
You, my dear aunt,
490
00:28:18,615 --> 00:28:22,035
need to think bigger.
491
00:28:22,077 --> 00:28:24,996
You will speak for the Church
492
00:28:25,038 --> 00:28:27,749
and end this humiliation.
493
00:28:27,791 --> 00:28:34,923
* *
494
00:28:44,808 --> 00:28:47,894
- Okay.
495
00:28:47,936 --> 00:28:49,312
I think I need to know
what's happening here.
496
00:28:52,816 --> 00:28:54,776
- What do you want to know?
497
00:28:54,818 --> 00:28:56,486
- All of it.
498
00:28:56,528 --> 00:28:58,363
- And then this corner
looked like
499
00:28:58,405 --> 00:29:00,365
it was Vladimir
healing someone,
500
00:29:00,407 --> 00:29:01,741
which is also something
I can do.
501
00:29:01,783 --> 00:29:04,911
- That leaves the center,
where Vladimir's eyes are.
502
00:29:04,953 --> 00:29:06,830
- Where he's consumed
by Darkness.
503
00:29:06,871 --> 00:29:11,418
His eyes are black in a way
I think I've seen in myself.
504
00:29:11,459 --> 00:29:15,255
He was a Spirit User,
and it did something to him.
505
00:29:15,296 --> 00:29:16,965
And a long time ago,
someone decided
506
00:29:17,007 --> 00:29:18,508
that no one should ever know.
507
00:29:18,550 --> 00:29:21,302
And they gave us some bullshit
story about happy Vladimir.
508
00:29:21,344 --> 00:29:24,222
- We want the truth about Vlad.
509
00:29:24,264 --> 00:29:25,348
All of it.
510
00:29:25,390 --> 00:29:26,808
- We want to know
how he fought it off,
511
00:29:26,850 --> 00:29:28,435
the Darkness.
512
00:29:28,476 --> 00:29:29,978
He must have, somehow.
513
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:37,152
* *
514
00:29:38,236 --> 00:29:41,823
- Compulsion,.
Dream Walking. Healing.
515
00:29:41,865 --> 00:29:44,117
That's Anna there.
516
00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:48,747
Faithful Anna,
the model Dhampir Guardian.
517
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:50,415
Shadow-Kissed Anna.
518
00:29:52,208 --> 00:29:54,044
But what about
the fourth corner?
519
00:29:56,796 --> 00:29:59,007
- It's been worn away.
520
00:29:59,049 --> 00:30:01,968
I've never been able
to find that out.
521
00:30:02,010 --> 00:30:05,805
- If early accounts of this
altarpiece are to be believed,
522
00:30:05,847 --> 00:30:10,060
the image here originally
looked something like this.
523
00:30:12,937 --> 00:30:15,899
It's called a Spirit Bond.
524
00:30:15,940 --> 00:30:17,859
Anna knew his heart
like it was her own.
525
00:30:17,901 --> 00:30:20,278
Sometimes his thoughts.
526
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,198
Maybe even saw
through his eyes.
527
00:30:23,239 --> 00:30:26,534
This is your answer.
528
00:30:26,576 --> 00:30:30,955
Vladimir's solution to the
Darkness, as you call it.
529
00:30:32,832 --> 00:30:35,710
He passed it to her.
530
00:30:35,752 --> 00:30:42,676
* *
531
00:30:47,931 --> 00:30:50,392
- They actually
believe all of this.
532
00:30:50,433 --> 00:30:51,851
A Fifth Element?
533
00:30:51,893 --> 00:30:54,479
Secret Magic that Vladimir had
and the entire Dominion
534
00:30:54,521 --> 00:30:56,106
has kept a secret
for centuries?
535
00:30:56,147 --> 00:30:58,441
- Or they just edited it out
of the whole story
536
00:30:58,483 --> 00:31:01,361
after they burned
a bunch of people alive.
537
00:31:01,403 --> 00:31:04,572
That's what they do--
lie and kill.
538
00:31:04,614 --> 00:31:05,615
So why not?
539
00:31:05,657 --> 00:31:07,701
- Because...it goes against
540
00:31:07,742 --> 00:31:09,911
the whole holy Elemental Order.
541
00:31:09,953 --> 00:31:13,123
The four-part harmony
of the world.
542
00:31:13,164 --> 00:31:16,376
I shouldn't have
let this happen.
543
00:31:16,418 --> 00:31:19,170
- Fuck.
544
00:31:19,212 --> 00:31:21,423
They're coming.
545
00:31:21,464 --> 00:31:22,966
- Go.
546
00:31:25,385 --> 00:31:28,972
- Vladimir didn't
beat the Darkness.
547
00:31:29,014 --> 00:31:30,390
He just gave it
to someone else.
548
00:31:30,432 --> 00:31:33,727
Have I been doing this to Rose?
549
00:31:33,768 --> 00:31:35,770
- She does sort of walk
on the Dark side of things.
550
00:31:35,812 --> 00:31:37,272
- No, no.
551
00:31:37,313 --> 00:31:40,984
He was supposed to show me
I could be someone good.
552
00:31:41,026 --> 00:31:43,820
When everything's telling me
that what I have in me is bad,
553
00:31:43,862 --> 00:31:45,780
he was supposed to be good.
554
00:31:45,822 --> 00:31:49,200
But he's just another parasitic
Moroi like all of us,
555
00:31:49,242 --> 00:31:51,119
just using his
Guardian like that.
556
00:31:51,161 --> 00:31:53,538
- Strigoi coming.
We're going now.
557
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:56,207
- What?
558
00:31:56,249 --> 00:31:58,251
You children.
559
00:31:58,293 --> 00:31:59,711
You led them right to me.
560
00:31:59,753 --> 00:32:01,546
- Yeah, lady, we did,
but we've got the jump on them,
561
00:32:01,588 --> 00:32:03,089
and we're going
with or without you.
562
00:32:03,131 --> 00:32:05,592
- Rose, no, she has--
- Lissa, we've got to go.

[tense music]
564
00:32:07,844 --> 00:32:09,054

- You'll be safe in here.
569
00:32:32,285 --> 00:32:33,828
- You knew they were coming.
570
00:32:33,870 --> 00:32:36,998
You can sense them in your gut.

- Hey.
576
00:33:28,466 --> 00:33:31,261
Hey, listen,
you're assuming that Vladimir
577
00:33:31,302 --> 00:33:33,304
forced his Darkness onto Anna,
578
00:33:33,346 --> 00:33:36,266
but what if she took it?
579
00:33:36,307 --> 00:33:37,684
Isn't that what we learned
in Sunday school,
580
00:33:37,726 --> 00:33:41,730
the holy devotion
of Shadow-Kissed Anna?
581
00:33:41,771 --> 00:33:44,441
- What is Shadow-Kissed?
582
00:33:44,482 --> 00:33:47,068
I mean, how does any of this
even makes sense?
583
00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:54,284
* *
584
00:34:00,749 --> 00:34:02,667
- This is one of the parts
of Vladimir's story
585
00:34:02,709 --> 00:34:05,837
the authorities
wanted to expunge
586
00:34:05,879 --> 00:34:09,966
because the Spirit Bond
587
00:34:10,008 --> 00:34:12,844
was the fruit of Vladimir's
ultimate sin.

- Lissa!
593
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:45,669

May the succession bring
prosperity to the Dominion.

- Very good.

00:35:53,737 --> 00:35:55,780
Thank you all.
605
00:36:03,204 --> 00:36:06,166
Is there something else, Irene?
606
00:36:06,207 --> 00:36:07,500
- There is.
607
00:36:13,631 --> 00:36:15,383
Your Majesty...
608
00:36:20,055 --> 00:36:23,350
For decades now, you and I
609
00:36:23,391 --> 00:36:27,604
have maintained a balance
between the vagaries
610
00:36:27,645 --> 00:36:32,484
of the political realm and the
durable interest of the faith.
611
00:36:32,525 --> 00:36:35,779
- As have all eight
of my High Priests
612
00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:38,031
and Priestesses before you.
613
00:36:38,073 --> 00:36:40,408
- Yours? Hmm.
614
00:36:40,450 --> 00:36:43,286
That, Marina,
is precisely the problem.
615
00:36:43,328 --> 00:36:45,121
The balance has collapsed.
616
00:36:45,163 --> 00:36:47,874
This ugly chapter
with Victor is only
617
00:36:47,916 --> 00:36:50,460
the latest indignity
to be forced on the faith
618
00:36:50,502 --> 00:36:52,796
by political interests.
619
00:36:52,837 --> 00:36:56,466
The time has come for the
faith to assert itself.
620
00:36:56,508 --> 00:36:59,386
- To muck about where
it doesn't belong, you mean?
621
00:36:59,427 --> 00:37:01,304
- To call in
the many chits we have
622
00:37:01,346 --> 00:37:04,766
piled up against the crown.
623
00:37:04,808 --> 00:37:08,728
Do not mistake
forbearance for weakness.
624
00:37:08,770 --> 00:37:11,314
I am telling you that
nominating Victor
625
00:37:11,356 --> 00:37:14,025
would be a very grave error.
626
00:37:14,067 --> 00:37:16,361
- Better your niece.
627
00:37:16,403 --> 00:37:19,739
How much balance would there be
628
00:37:19,781 --> 00:37:24,786
if one family controlled
both Church and state?
629
00:37:24,828 --> 00:37:26,955
Unless you're retiring.
630
00:37:26,996 --> 00:37:29,958
- Tatiana is the only candidate
for the throne
631
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,419
that the Church will tolerate.
632
00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:35,797
And without the support
of the Church,
633
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:37,173
the new monarch will fail.
634
00:37:37,215 --> 00:37:39,926
The Elementalists
will make sure of it.
635
00:37:39,968 --> 00:37:41,761
Iwill make sure of it.
636
00:37:41,803 --> 00:37:45,765
Victor will not rule.

00:38:09,789 --> 00:38:11,624
- I saw him.
639
00:38:11,666 --> 00:38:13,460
They followed us here
from the club.
640
00:38:13,501 --> 00:38:15,128
- They had a human
smorgasbord there.
641
00:38:15,170 --> 00:38:17,255
What would we matter to them?
642
00:38:32,354 --> 00:38:34,147
- My life here is dead.
643
00:38:34,189 --> 00:38:35,982
- No, the Strigoi are dead.
644
00:38:36,024 --> 00:38:37,484
You could clean up, and--
645
00:38:37,525 --> 00:38:40,487
- You're so far out
of your depth.
646
00:38:40,528 --> 00:38:44,908
You have no idea
how this world works.
647
00:38:44,949 --> 00:38:48,286
It's not the Strigoi
I'm worried about.
648
00:38:48,328 --> 00:38:49,662
It's the ones
who come after them.
649
00:38:56,503 --> 00:39:01,007
You've burned my world down.
650
00:39:01,049 --> 00:39:04,886
But to make us even,
I'm going to give you
651
00:39:04,928 --> 00:39:06,721
what you came here for.
652

How can you have possibly
lost the Queen?

- What are you
talking about, Abby?
657
00:39:35,166 --> 00:39:38,211
The Queen has assured me--
658
00:39:38,253 --> 00:39:41,047
- I have it
from Tatiana's own lips.
659
00:39:41,089 --> 00:39:43,550
The Queen won't submit
your name to the Council.
660
00:39:43,591 --> 00:39:45,385
Word's already getting out.
661
00:39:45,427 --> 00:39:47,012
You've lost her confidence.
662
00:39:47,053 --> 00:39:51,808
Tarus, the Ozeras,
they're all wavering.

Are you all right?
673
00:40:24,341 --> 00:40:25,342
- I just need to feed.
674
00:40:25,383 --> 00:40:27,469

I have the votes.

You only need to name me,
and it's done.

They will do your will.

Marina, please,
after all we've given,
687
00:41:15,517 --> 00:41:18,603
I have to have this.
688
00:41:18,645 --> 00:41:21,064
- I'm sorry, Victor.
689
00:41:21,106 --> 00:41:23,066
The Church has forced my hand.
690
00:41:28,530 --> 00:41:33,159
But I have
one final card to play.

for hosting us
on this weighty day.
694
00:41:52,637 --> 00:41:54,764
As we choose our next leader,
695
00:41:54,806 --> 00:41:59,853
I remind you that a good
monarch must know when to rule
696
00:41:59,894 --> 00:42:01,479
and when not to.
697
00:42:01,521 --> 00:42:04,607
As there is no clear majority
for either the Elementalist
698
00:42:04,649 --> 00:42:06,818
or Unionist candidate tonight,
699
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:09,571
I am suspending this caucus...

and sanctified

by our religious forebears.
704
00:42:22,792 --> 00:42:26,629
The candidates must face
a series of sacred tests.
705
00:42:26,671 --> 00:42:30,759
Whoever wins will rule.
706
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,596
Thus, the Elements
will decide our fate,
707
00:42:34,637 --> 00:42:37,724
not your aging Queen.
708
00:42:37,766 --> 00:42:41,936
As of now,
the future of our Dominion
709
00:42:41,978 --> 00:42:44,647
is in the hands
of the Elements.

We hesitated
for one tiny moment.
714
00:43:14,928 --> 00:43:18,765
- There's no room for divided
loyalties in this world, Rose.

00:43:18,807 --> 00:43:21,434
There can never be a question
716
00:43:21,476 --> 00:43:24,312
of you or them,
717
00:43:24,354 --> 00:43:26,606
me or your charge.
718
00:43:26,648 --> 00:43:27,941
There can be no hesitation.
719
00:43:27,982 --> 00:43:31,277
- Of course not.
720
00:43:31,319 --> 00:43:32,821
It's a fucking dream.
721
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:41,121
But you felt it.
722
00:43:41,162 --> 00:43:42,455
Right?

00:43:46,001 --> 00:43:47,919
What we could be?
725
00:43:50,171 --> 00:43:52,966
- Every second of it.
726
00:43:53,008 --> 00:43:54,467
But never again.
727
00:43:54,509 --> 00:43:57,679

729
00:44:30,045 --> 00:44:32,839
[tense music]
730
00:44:32,881 --> 00:44:36,426
- For 500 years, we've
burrowed down in our provinces
731
00:44:36,468 --> 00:44:39,137
and let ourselves forget
that the Strigoi
732
00:44:39,179 --> 00:44:42,599
aren't the only ones
with the power to do us harm.
733
00:44:44,225 --> 00:44:48,438
Beyond the wards,
they watch and wait,
734
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:53,651
ready to come down on us
with all their fury if we err.
735
00:44:53,693 --> 00:44:55,612
But if history is our guide,
736
00:44:55,653 --> 00:44:59,657
the first wound we suffer
will be self-inflicted.
737
00:44:59,699 --> 00:45:03,036
We turn on our own first.
738
00:45:03,078 --> 00:45:05,997
[dramatic music]
739
00:45:06,039 --> 00:45:12,879

740
00:45:38,113 --> 00:45:40,573
[knock at door]
741
00:45:52,210 --> 00:45:54,379
- Thank God you're here.
I needed to see you.
742
00:45:54,421 --> 00:45:57,007
- I don't want you
to be my Guardian.
743
00:45:57,048 --> 00:45:59,718
Not now, not ever.
744
00:45:59,759 --> 00:46:03,138
It's just--it's too wrong,
all of it.
745
00:46:03,179 --> 00:46:05,640
The way we exploit you.
746
00:46:05,682 --> 00:46:08,601
I just can't do it anymore,
not to you.
747
00:46:10,020 --> 00:46:14,107
They'll give me someone,
and I can't avoid that.
748
00:46:16,776 --> 00:46:20,238
But I just can't
have it be you.
749
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,407
You deserve better.
750
00:46:22,449 --> 00:46:23,616
- I deserve?
751
00:46:23,658 --> 00:46:25,994
- I'm trying to do what's best.
752
00:46:28,204 --> 00:46:32,250
- You have no idea
what it's like to be us.
753
00:46:32,292 --> 00:46:33,626
None.
754
00:46:33,668 --> 00:46:36,755
And now you're gonna tell me
what I deserve?
755
00:46:36,796 --> 00:46:39,257
You're going to make
that choice for me,
756
00:46:39,299 --> 00:46:40,675
but I don't get a say?
757
00:46:43,178 --> 00:46:47,974
I have no option
but to be a Guardian,
758
00:46:48,016 --> 00:46:52,020
and the only thing that makes
all that shit worthwhile
759
00:46:52,062 --> 00:46:53,688
is you.
760
00:46:53,730 --> 00:46:55,774
And now you're gonna
take that away
761
00:46:55,815 --> 00:46:58,818
as some kind of a favor to me?
762
00:46:58,860 --> 00:47:01,154
You have no idea
what I would give up for you.
763
00:47:01,196 --> 00:47:02,489
I would die for you.
764
00:47:02,530 --> 00:47:04,616
- Yeah, I know you would,
because you did.
765
00:47:06,826 --> 00:47:10,330
- The ultimate sin
Vladimir committed
766
00:47:10,372 --> 00:47:12,165
was resurrection.
767
00:47:14,626 --> 00:47:18,546
In a faith built
on the cycling of Elements,
768
00:47:18,588 --> 00:47:21,091
there is no
greater violation...
769
00:47:24,511 --> 00:47:28,807
Than bringing life
back to the dead.
770
00:47:28,848 --> 00:47:32,352
That was the source
of the bond to Anna,
771
00:47:32,394 --> 00:47:35,063
the Shadow Kiss.
772
00:47:35,105 --> 00:47:39,317
Death left its mark on her...
773
00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:40,777
- [gasps]
774
00:47:40,819 --> 00:47:44,531
- Just as it has
on your friend.
775
00:47:46,991 --> 00:47:48,493
- You died
776
00:47:48,535 --> 00:47:52,163
saving me in the accident.
777
00:47:52,205 --> 00:47:53,665
I brought you back.
778
00:47:56,209 --> 00:47:59,170
You're Shadow-Kissed.
779
00:47:59,212 --> 00:48:02,173
That's why we have this bond
between our spirits.
780
00:48:02,215 --> 00:48:04,092
But now--
781
00:48:04,134 --> 00:48:08,596
now I know how toxic
that's been for you.
782
00:48:08,638 --> 00:48:12,559
I've been passing
my Darkness off to you.
783
00:48:13,977 --> 00:48:16,521
I'm not gonna do it anymore,
784
00:48:16,563 --> 00:48:17,856
not if I can help it.
785
00:48:17,897 --> 00:48:20,775
- So firing me
is going to solve that?
786
00:48:20,817 --> 00:48:22,444
- It's a start.
787
00:48:22,485 --> 00:48:25,697
- Lissa--
- I'm sorry.
788
00:48:25,739 --> 00:48:27,532
I'm so sorry.

00:48:34,914 --> 00:48:37,208
- Lissa.
792
00:48:37,250 --> 00:48:38,376
Lissa!

Lissa!

Lissa!
796
00:48:45,425 --> 00:48:48,970

800
00:49:19,125 --> 00:49:20,126
- Sonya?
801
00:49:21,294 --> 00:49:22,629
Sonya.
802
00:49:24,172 --> 00:49:30,970

803
00:49:36,476 --> 00:49:37,644
