00:25Henry, barely three months have passed since our vows,
00:28yet here you stand, in this very room, with your own flesh and blood, your cousin!
00:33My dear Margaret,
00:35pray do not raise your voice like some unsophisticated Ruskic.
00:39In the House of Granter, it is a long-standing tradition
00:41to keep a modicule of private enjoyment.
00:44Did your merchant father never teach you manners?
00:47You ought to thank me for relieving you of the burden of tending to your husband.
00:52Shameless! I will tell the Lord and the Lady!
01:21Let go of me, Richard! I am your brother's wife!
01:28Your wife? You're nothing but a purse of gold to fill our empty coffers.
01:32Stop Brother gets his fun with Fenny. Why not give me a turn?
01:36I'll make you feel true pleasure.
01:38Stay back! You animal! Just stay back!
01:53Mother! Father! Henry has betrayed me! I found him with Fenny in our room! And Richard! He tried to assault
02:02me! Please, I beg you, send me back to my father's estate! I refuse to stay here any longer!
02:09My sweet unfortunate girl! All this housework has clearly worn you thin! And now you suffer from delusions!
02:16Surely you do not mean to slander Henry and Richard with such venom! They are family! Family does not hurt
02:21family!
02:22She is clearly suffering from a severe nervous afflictions!
02:26Inform her father that Margaret's malady demands total isolation! No one is to see her!
02:32Furthermore, transfer the entirety of her marriage portion into Henry's gnome without delay!
02:37No! You did this on purpose! You only ever wanted my dowry from day one!
02:46Your illness has made you delirious, my dear. Here, drink this calm and dressed. And every pain shall simply fade
02:54away.
03:10I refuse! This is not a calming trace! It is poison! Nothing but poison! You fiend! Release me at once!
03:19I demand to return to my father's house!
03:29Richard, hold her still. Patient is far too agitated.
03:39Release me, you executioners! My father is a rich merchant! He will make you pay for what you've done to
03:44me!
03:44Revenge? Oh sweet child, how innocent you are!
03:48Your father shall receive a single, impeccably phrased letter, telling him that his beloved daughter suffered an acute malality in
03:55the night and succumbed to it.
03:57Meanwhile, your gold will stay right where it belongs, in House Granda, keeping up our appearances and mending our debts.
04:07No one will be permitted to approach her!
04:07Oh my God!
04:11No!
04:11No!
04:12No!
04:12No!
04:13No!
04:16No!
04:18No!
04:19No!
04:21No!
04:25No!
04:28No!
04:30No!
04:31a viriless contagion. To prevent the spread, she is to be cremated immediately. No one is permitted
04:35to approach her. If I have another life, I will make you pay blood for blood. May you die a
04:42wretched
04:42death. Where is this? Hell? Am I not dead?
05:16Elizabeth, is that you? My name is not Elizabeth. Who are you? What is this place?
05:23I am an instrument of vengeance. You may call me the Count. Granda clan took your life
05:29and claimed all that was yours. Your resentment so had rend the void itself. It bridged the
05:33blossom of death and called me forth. You are nothing now but a fading soul. In five minutes
05:50you will vanish from this world entirely. Not a trace of you will remain. They took everything
05:57from me. My family, my fortune, my very life. I cannot simply fade away. I will go back.
06:06I will kill them. I will make them pay blood for blood. I am the instrument of vengeance for
06:12our kind. I can give you what you desire. I can reverse the flow of time to a year past,
06:17to the days before you became a grander bride, before the darkness claimed you. Send me back.
06:22Please, I beg you, send me back. I will pay any price, as long as I can destroy them.
06:29Do not speak so lightly of any price. You have only two choices. First, release your hatred,
06:35cleanse the violence from your soul, and as a pure spirit, pass into the cycle of a new world.
06:39Second, be reborn into vengeance. Carry all the rage you feel now. Return to the past,
06:45and with your own hands destroy everything you wish to destroy. Yet if vengeance you choose,
06:51heed this well. The instant you achieve your purpose and sever every thread of hatred with
06:56your own hand, carry all the remery of this life. All that you are as Margaret, including the very
07:01hatred now burning in your soul, will be torn from you. You shall be exiled to a strange and distant
07:05realm, friendless and lost. You will never again remember who you were, nor why you embarked upon
07:10this path. Are you certain of this?
07:11I am sure. I would rather lose every memory, even cease to exist, than let those devils feast
07:17on my misery and thrive upon my corpse. I shall make their lives a living hell. I shall make
07:23them suffer what I have suffered. Their house torn apart, their honor ground to dust.
07:27death. The covenant is sealed. House Grando. Henry. Ashley. Are you ready to welcome hell itself?
07:50death. This time, even if I break the rules, even if it cost me everything, I will protect you.
08:07death.
08:17Damn it! If that East Indian doesn't return soon, the bank will seize our estate by tomorrow!
08:27Reborn to a year ago, I have not yet married Henry with my dowry. Turn it out!

19:48do not sink too deep the fires of hell shall burn you to ash as well you
20:02do
20:30You have always been this way, so stubborn as to throw your very life away.
20:51Do not leave me. It is... it's far too dark.
21:04Don't leave me.
21:11I swore I should never let my heart stir again. Yet why must you wear this face to tear my
21:15heart open time and time again?
21:26Did you watch over me the whole night through?
21:33Do not flatter yourself with foolish fancies.
21:37Then whence came this cup of water and the remedy?
21:42Brought by Pierre.
21:48Vampires bear no warmth of flesh. The chill lingering on this cup is the cold imprint of your fingers.
21:54My lord count, you have never been skilled at desait.
21:57Once your fever breaks, be gone to seek your vengeance. This chamber is no sanctuary for the weak.
22:06Though you are a fortress of ice, I shall uncover what tender secrets lie hidden beneath your frozen exterior.
22:22You are a fortress of ice.
22:24A fortress of ice is a plain as the cold as the cold as the crocodile shines.
22:28I will make it a voice.
22:29I will make it a motion.
22:30Better work.
22:36than fever, stirs in the shadows this night. Word has come from our Glend and Glend-a-Major.
22:45Heads-a-Major's, the holy embassies of the Vatican. It is whispered he means to sell his
22:49family's estates, bartering wealth for forbidden relics, weapons crafted to hunt all kindred of
22:54the unnatural. The Holy See, a pack of sanctimonious hypocrites cloaked in piety, George plays with
23:01fire and shall burn in its embers. Should their alliance take root, Lady Margaret's quest for
23:06retribution shall meet grave hindrance. Shall we intervene, my lord?
23:29Ashley, this Crimson Star ruby necklace is one of a kind across the entire world. Lord George doles on
23:36you beyond measure. This is nothing. The heritage of the Glendie family is far beyond the reach of any
23:41of the upstart.
23:57Lady Glend-a, pardon the interruption to your banquet. I am a representative of HSBC Bank. We have received reports
24:04that the funds Lord George used to purchase these jewels are linked to illegal fundraising and mortgage.
24:10Have you lost your senses? Do you have any idea who you are speaking to?
24:18Lady Ashley, I forgot to tell you. The cheque I gave Lord George had a genuine amount, yet it was
24:23a collateral bond pledged under the royal prison. The moment you wear these jewels in public, you admit to possessing
24:30illicit assets.
24:32By law, we are required to seize all mortgaged property on sight. Will you remove the necklace yourself, or shall
24:39we do it for you?
24:40...
24:52Jon and Gefühlzi?
24:56You were just freaked out. The consequences could be dire.
24:59How dare you? This is the Glendou, estate! By what authority do you?
25:03Miss Fanny, this gown you wear today was purchased with the very same funds, was it not?
25:10Counselor, if we are to seize all proceeds, does this dress fall under Fort Fishing as well?
25:31Painted possessions are worthy of bank bolts.
25:36Ashley, this is the so-called dignity of the Glaney House you pride yourself upon.
26:01This woman is no mere mistress. She knows far too much. She must be silenced tonight. For good.
26:11Brother, a quick death would be far too merciful for her. With the Earl absent, we shall lock her in
26:17the cellar. I intend to settle scores slowly.
26:29AHHHHHHHHH!
26:55Margaret, you have proven far more surprising than I expected.
26:59Had you revealed such wits sooner, I might have truly fallen in love with you.
27:06Love? Is your love a draught of poison? Or the hangman's gallows?
27:13Tell me, where does your fortune stem from? Who truly is that so-called Count?
27:17Confess the truth, and I shall let you live as the fruitful mistress of the Glenda household.
27:21As for the name Margaret, I shall declare her dead of sickness, and no soul shall ever uncover the truth.
27:27Henry, you remain as foolish as ever.
27:30Do you believe your crudetters will spare you simply by taking my life?
27:35You dare to spout insolence even at death's door!
27:44Please, save me!
27:50You dare to lay hand upon what belongs to me.
27:53Please, save me!
28:19Don't, don't kill him here. He does not deserve such easy mercy.
28:26He has touched you. By my rules his hands deserve to be eaten by the hounds of hell.
28:49I told you before, if you cannot complete your revenge you will stay confined in my chambers.
28:55Why do you keep seeking trouble?
28:56I will never make them taste true despair unless I endure hell myself.
29:00A creature of eternal life like you will never understand.
29:13Your blood has grown sweet with hatred.
29:18If you dare to die, I will bury this entire city with you.
29:38If you fear losing me so greatly then teach me.
29:43Teach me to become as powerful as you.
30:10The horrible mule and the real woman – she is so short.
30:11A woman who has a journey, she is so rich.
30:11She is so rich.
30:11She is so rich.
30:11She is so rich.
30:31The year 1586, 300 years ago, this is not me, who is she?
31:03Who granted you leave to enter?
31:10Is she Elizabeth?
31:12Then what am I?
31:13Am I merely her substitute or a tool you wield for vengeance?
31:23She was my beloved whom I lay to rest with my own hands.
31:29And you are but a flawed imitation of her, born from this endless cycle.
31:47An inferior copy.
31:51Did you save me, aid me merely to gaze upon a dead woman's shadow in my face?
31:56You ought to be grateful for this face of yours. Without it, you would be naught but a rotting corpse
32:02in the cellars.
32:25How dare you lay waste to her?
32:27I am saving you, my lord. If you fix your gaze upon the dead forever, you shall never see me
32:33as I am. I am Margaret, a wraith risen from death to seek vengeance. I am not her, nor is
32:40my soul pure and unblownished.
32:45Begone!
32:46Set foot in this chamber no more, lest I cannot answer for what I may do to you.
33:00I shall never be her shadow. Nor your solace. I want no favor won by a borrowed face.
33:24Vampire. Since you can control that bitch, I'll find someone who can control you.
33:36Mr. Glenda, you want to kill a count-level vampire? Can you afford the price?
33:43As long as he dies, and Margaret comes back to me to suffer, I can transfer all Galenda Munja that
33:49Kwong Trili to your church.
34:03This is Tears of the Saint. As long as you drop into his wine glass, even the most powerful monsters
34:08will be taking a lamb to be slaughtered in that moment.
34:20Tomorrow is the Glenda family's hunting ball. They invited people from the parish. It's a trap. You shouldn't go.
34:27If I don't go, how can I watch their final performance? My lord, are you worried about me or about
34:37your Elizabeth?
34:40When all this is over, when hatred and grievances are all burned to ashes, can you stay and dance with
34:50me?
34:52A dance that belongs only to the two of us.
34:59After the ball, I'll wait for you.
35:35Lord Earl, this wine is offered on behalf of the Glenda House.
35:38I'll wait for you.
35:38as a token of our sincere respect.
35:48He is trembling of tension.
35:50There is poison in the wine.
36:05Henry, is this the respect you speak of?
36:08A toxin harsh enough to burn through carpet, did you mean to poison the Earl or every soul in this
36:13hall?
36:14No!
36:15No!
36:17No!
36:18No!
36:20No!
36:21No!
36:22Youulanoys of the Dark!
36:46This is the end you have chosen for yourselves.
36:50Please.
37:20Ashley, taste the venomous tea you then served me.
37:43The final clause of the pact demands their hearts.
37:47All your mercy.
37:59No, it can't be.
38:02Not like this. Why?
38:13Margaret, spare me. Do not strike me. I loved you.
38:17But it was they who forced me to end your life.
38:20Love me.
38:22Is it my fortune you adore, or your own decaying noble vanity?
38:27Strike him down and your vengeance shall be fully wrought.
38:31Yet mark this, Margaret. The covenant shall bind you in turn.
38:35You shall forget all that has passed, forget me, and dwell in the peaceful life you once craved.
38:43If I am made to forget, will you seek me in the age to come, in the mortal world of
38:49distant times?
38:51Such a mortal world is not my domain. I cannot venture there.
38:56I shall abide in this perpetual night, and dwell beside your painted ligness.
39:07I shall abide in this place.
39:08I renounce my vengeance, rather than oblivion.
39:10I choose to bear all hatred and grievance, and become a creature of the dark, just as you are.
39:19I will never die in this place.
39:20I will never die in this place.
39:21I will never die.
39:21Or, I will never die in this place.
39:45you think you have won you filthy worm living off a vampire's mercy

44:15Master, are you still unwilling to leave this place?
44:18You've waited here for over a century.
44:30To save me, she chose to bind her soul to reincarnation.
44:36I know.
44:38She will come back.
44:58Mark.
45:00Mark.
45:03Mark.
45:28Sorry, sir.
45:29The rain is powering.
45:31May I shelter here for a while?
45:33I'll leave as soon as it eases up.
45:59No charge.
46:01All who seek shelter are welcome guests.
46:10Sir, this scent feels strangely familiar.
46:14It lingers in my dreams.
46:16Bitter, yet warm.

46:50I am waiting for the one who owes me a dance.
47:16I am made to forget.
47:19I am made to forget.
47:21I am the mortal world.

47:27None shall leave this place alive today.
47:29The only remedy lies in a sacrifice.
47:32This time, let me bring you a promise.
47:35A future without hatred.

48:17Welcome home, Margaret.
48:17Welcome home, Margaret.
48:18He waited for her 140 years across three centuries.
48:22This time, she is no longer a substitute, no longer a shadow, no longer a pawn.
48:28She is simply herself, Margaret.
