[00:31] (Flashback) Dali
    Frida! Frida!
[00:41] (Flashback) Dali
    Frida!
[00:45] (Flashback) Frida
    Dali, the children...
[00:50] (Flashback) Frida
    Give them... all of your love....
[03:16] Sign
    Welcome to the Nursery
[03:33] Man
    Stop! Please don't do this!
[03:57] Dali
    Well, if it isn't ringleted Goldilocks.
[04:01] Dali
    You cut as fine a figure as ever, I see.
[04:04] Gerhard
    Spare me your prattle.
    Lord Johannes is waiting for us.
[04:10] Dali
    There've been murders?
[04:11] Gerhard
    Indeed. I believe our
    summons to be related.
[04:17] Dali
    Can't the Police of the Blood
    deal with that sort of thing?
[04:21] Gerhard
    It would seem this case
    involves TRUMP somehow.
[04:27] Gerhard
    Which explains why they've called for us.
[04:31] Gerhard
    We serve a top secret intelligence force...
[04:35] Gerhard
    This is why the Vlad Agency was created.
[04:45] Gerhard
    Excuse us, sir.
[04:48] Johannes
    It's been a while since I last saw
    the two of you like this.
[04:52] Johannes
    How long has it been since you were
    assigned to the Vlad Agency?
[04:56] Gerhard
    Nine months, sir.
[04:59] Johannes
    That long already, eh? Well—
[05:01] Dali
    Lord Johannes.
[05:02] Dali
    I'm sure you didn't ask me
    here just for chitchat.
[05:08] Gerhard
    Watch it!
[05:09] Dali
    Could I trouble you to get
    to the bloody point?
[05:13] Johannes
    There something I'd like
    the two of you to look into.
[05:18] Johannes
    It concerns a recent string
     of serial murders.
[05:22] Gerhard
    As I thought.
[05:24] Gerhard
    I've looked over the reports.
[05:28] Dali
    Always showing initiative, aren't you?
[05:32] Gerhard
    They indicate no connection
     between the victims.
[05:34] Gerhard
    That these seem to be random attacks.
[05:38] Johannes
    It appeared that way at first.
[05:42] Johannes
    But we've found this card
    at the scene of each murder.
[05:47] Dali
    "Equal death is given.
    This Vamp is no TRUMP."
[05:54] Dali
    Is the theory that the perpetrators
    believe TRUMP actually exists?
[05:59] Johannes
    What do you two think?
[06:02] Gerhard
    The very notion of TRUMP is
    nothing more than a fairy tale.
[06:06] Gerhard
    Or so the world needs to believe.
[06:09] Johannes
    Indeed. And yet TRUMP is real,
[06:14] Johannes
    living on somewhere
    in this world as we speak.
[06:17] Johannes
    TRUE OF VAMP, the originator
    of the vampire race...
[06:23] Johannes
    It's said that our entire species
    originated from this being.
[06:28] Johannes
    You could even say
    such an entity is akin to our god.
[06:33] Johannes
    All vampires share a mental
    connection with the TRUE OF VAMP.
[06:38] Johannes
    and are fully under their influence.
[06:42] Johannes
    Now, suppose something were to happen
     that disturbed TRUMP...
[06:47] Dali
    It could spell the collapse of Vamp
    society, you mean to suggest.
[06:53] Dali
    Laboring to avoid the wrath of a moody god...
[06:57] Dali
    I can think of nothing more tedious.
[07:00] Gerhard
    Do not denigrate our duty to preserve
    the prosperity of our people!
[07:06] Johannes
    Now, should these incidents wind up having
    some kind of affect on TRUMP,
[07:12] Johannes
    it may well lead to a precarious situation.
[07:14] Johannes
    So I'd like the two of you
    to head up the investigation into—
[07:18] Dali
    I refuse, sir.
[07:20] Gerhard
    Wha...
[07:21] Dali
    I must humbly decline this assignment.
[07:25] Dali
    Excuse me.
[07:29] Gerhard
    Stop!
[07:30] Gerhard
    Get back here, Dali!
[07:41] Henrique
    So he turned you down
    without even hearing you out?
[07:46] Morris
    This is no laughing matter, Sir Henrique.
[07:51] Henrique
    Ah, yes, pardon me.
[07:53] Henrique
    That just sounds so like Dali-boy, is all.
[07:59] Dino
    If these cards were left behind
    at the scene of each crime...
[08:04] Gerhard
    It may be the work of a cult that
    believes in the existence of TRUMP.
[08:09] Gerhard
    Or perhaps...
[08:10] Henrique
    Maybe the killer is going around
    murdering Vamps one by one
[08:14] Henrique
    to see if they're immortal or not.
[08:19] Henrique
    Who knows how many of us they'll
    have to kill to find TRUMP?
[08:23] Morris
    Enough, Sir Henrique.
[08:25] Morris
    This matter needs to be dealt with, in secret,
     before it gets further out of hand.
[08:32] Johannes
    Which is why I intended to put together
    a task force with Dali at its helm.
[08:38] Dino
    He's the head of the esteemed Delico family,
[08:41] Dino
    yet he snubs such a crucial job?
[08:44] Dino
    That's nothing short of dereliction of duty.
[08:47] Henrique
    You always take things so seriously, Dino.
[08:51] Gerhard
    If Lord Johannes is entrusting
    the matter to Dali,
[08:54] Gerhard
    he has an obligation to live up to that.
[08:58] Dino
    It falls to us to force Sir Dali
     to perform his duties.
[09:02] Johannes
    Yes, and I would normally
    thank you for that service, but...
[09:06] Johannes
    Well, you'll understand when you get there
[09:09] Johannes
    and see the exact nature
    of Dali Delico's predicament.
[09:21] Henrique
    Man, why can't he just tell us
    instead of trying to build suspense?
[09:26] Dino
    Sir Henrique...
[09:28] Dino
    You'd do well to adopt a manner
    more becoming of your station.
[09:32] Henrique
    What, you judge people by how they talk?
[09:35] Henrique
    Isn't it what's on the inside that counts?
[09:37] Dino
    I have my doubts
    about what lies within as well.
[09:41] Henrique
    W-Well, I can attest to the fact
    that Dali-boy is a big deal.
[09:46] Henrique
    I understand why Lord Johannes
    has pinned his hopes on him.
[09:49] Dino
    The Delico family is one of the oldest
    aristocratic houses in vampire society.
[09:56] Dino
    Its previous heads have risen as high
    as chairing the Blood Pact Council.
[10:02] Dino
    From his earliest days,
     Sir Dali's influence was such
[10:06] Dino
    that the Council's most prominent
    members took stock of him.
[10:16] Henrique
    That's one huge house!
[10:18] Ferdinand
    Welcome, gentlemen. Master Dali awaits you.
[10:27] Henrique
    Hey, what's the deal with the old geezer?
[10:31] Dino
    Likely a Delico servant.
[10:35] Henrique
    Looks like he's about to collapse.
    Is he gonna be okay?
[10:39] Ferdinand
    Now, gentlemen,
[10:41] Ferdinand
    I shall escort you to Master Dali's chambers.
[10:45] Henrique
    R-Right.
[10:47] Ferdinand
    No matter the state you may find him in,
[10:53] Ferdinand
    I ask that you contain your surprise.
[10:57] Gerhard
    Has something happened to Dali?
[10:59] Ferdinand
    I believe you'd best see for yourself.
[11:12] Ferdinand
    Right this way.
[11:14] Henrique
    I'm starting to freak out...
[11:17] Gerhard
    Dali! We're coming in!
[11:26] Dali
    Stop crying!
[11:28] Dali
    I told you to stop it!
[11:31] Dali
    Enough! Hold still!
[11:32] Henrique
    What's going on here?
[11:34] Dali
    Wait!
[11:36] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[11:36] Gerhard
    Dali?
[11:43] Dali
    Sorry to keep you.
[11:47] Henrique
    S-So...
[11:48] Dali
    He's finally down for a nap.
[11:51] Dali
    Children do cry so very much.
[11:56] Dali
    The way their tiny bodies seem to have
    endless strength to keep crying...
[12:01] Dali
    It's honestly dreadful.
[12:03] Gerhard
    What is the meaning of this?
[12:06] Dali
    I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.
[12:09] Gerhard
    You're neglecting your duties!
[12:11] Gerhard
    I thought you'd been beset
     by some critical affair,
[12:14] Gerhard
    but looking after your children?
[12:18] Dali
    Is that all you're here about?
[12:20] Gerhard
    How can you say that?!
[12:22] Gerhard
    Why not just leave the
    boy in his nanny's care?!
[12:25] Dali
    Come to think of it...
[12:27] Dali
    You have a son around
    Raphael's age, don't you?
[12:31] Dali
    Angelico, wasn't it?
[12:34] Gerhard
    What of it?
[12:36] Dali
    You should fully understand how
    much trouble raising a child can be.
[12:41] Gerhard
    Child-rearing is no task for those
    of noble birth!
[12:46] Dali
    I don't happen to agree.
[12:47] Gerhard
    What?!
[12:48] Henrique
    A-Anyway, isn't it great to see
    that Dali-boy's doing well?
[12:52] Henrique
    We were kinda worried you
    might be sick or something.
[12:57] Dali
    Come to think of it, Henrique, Dino...
    You both have kids as well, don't you?
[13:01] Henrique
    Y-Yeah. I've got a pair of girls. Twins.
    They're already five.
[13:06] Dino
    My son will be turning seven soon.
[13:10] Dali
    Then when it comes to child-rearing,
    you gentlemen are more experienced.
[13:15] Dali
    I'd love to hear more about your approaches.
[13:19] Henrique
    I mostly just let the nanny handle things.
[13:23] Dino
    Aristocrats of our standing,
    stooping to minding children personally?
[13:29] Dino
    Inconceivable.
[13:31] Gerhard
    I understand your situation now.
[13:33] Gerhard
    You are to return to work immediately!
[13:37] Dali
    I recall telling Lord Johannes...
[13:40] Dali
    that I won't be doing that.
[13:42] Gerhard
    Don't be ridiculous! Have you forgotten
    the Vlad Agency's mission?!
[13:48] Dali
    Keeping some ridiculous notion
    of a god happy?
[13:52] Gerhard
    Our sacred duty, for the
    survival of all vampirekind!
[13:55] Dali
    It's our duty, is it?
[13:57] Dali
    I'd say keeping diapers clean
     is far more pressing.
[14:02] Gerhard
    Are you seriously weighing the survival
    of our race against clean diapers?
[14:06] Dino
    All I'm saying is that, at this moment,
    it's more important.
[14:10] Dino
    Lord Johannes seems to believe
    you're critical to solving this case.
[14:18] Henrique
    He thinks pretty highly of you, Dali-boy.
[14:21] Dali
    That's no concern of mine.
[14:23] Gerhard
    Dali!
[14:24] Gerhard
    Have you lost all nerve?!
[14:26] Dali
    I'm just doing as I was asked.
[14:31] Dali
    Good grief, I was hoping they'd
    both be asleep for a bit longer...
[14:37] Gerhard
    Wait! Get back here, Dali!
[14:42] Henrique
    Who do you think would ask such a thing?
[14:45] Dino
    I'd wager Sir Gerhard has some idea.
[14:54] Dali
    Okay, there, there! Daddy's here!
[14:58] Dali
    Your incredible father is here now!
[15:04] Dali
    Don't be scared!
     There's nothing to be afraid of!
[15:07] Dali
    I'd chase off anything
     that might frighten you!
[15:12] Gerhard
    Dali, we're not done yet.
[15:15] Dali
    Oh, Gerhard, perfect timing.
[15:19] Dali
    Take Ul for a second, would you?
[15:22] Gerhard
    Wha... Wait!
[15:26] Gerhard
    And you, shut up!
[15:29] Gerhard
    You're being a nuisance! Be silent at once!
[15:33] Henrique
    You can't scowl him into being quiet, man.
[15:35] Dino
    Are you trying to curse an infant?
[15:39] Gerhard
    Why doesn't one of you take him?!
[15:41] Henrique
    Oh, no way. I don't have what it takes.
[15:46] Dino
    Caring for children is
    uncharted territory for me.
[15:48] Gerhard
    Well, it is for me too!
[15:53] Henrique
    Is it his diaper?
[15:54] Dino
    Why not try changing it?
[15:56] Gerhard
    I obviously have no idea how to!
[15:59] Clara
    What's all this?
[16:01] Clara
    A bunch of grown men pitching a fit...
[16:03] Clara
    What a sorry sight.
[16:07] Clara
    Here, let me see him.
[16:10] Clara
    There, there, dearie...
[16:15] Clara
    There, there. Your diaper seems dry.
[16:19] Clara
    You must be hungry, then.
[16:22] Gerhard
    You can understand the baby?
[16:24] Clara
    I certainly can.
[16:26] Clara
    I changed the master's diapers as well.
[16:31] Henrique
    Dali's diapers?
[16:33] Clara
    You're all the same. We were
    all in diapers at one point.
[16:40] Gerhard
    I'd appreciate you keeping
    your imaginations in check.
[16:43] Gerhard
    If you're the nanny of this estate,
[16:45] Gerhard
    why foist such work on Dali?
[16:47] Gerhard
    He's the head of the Delico family!
[16:50] Gerhard
    Child-rearing should not be his priority!
[16:53] Clara
    He won't hear otherwise.
[16:57] Clara
    He's determined to raise young
    masters Ul and Raphael himself,
[17:03] Clara
    with only the bare minimum help from us.
[17:08] Gerhard
    Why? What has him so fixated
    that he'd abandon his responsibilities?
[17:13] Clara
    Master Gerhard... I should think
    you know too well the answer to that.
[17:21] Dali
    Clara.
[17:22] Dali
    Oh, that didn't take you long, sir.
[17:24] Dali
    No need to fill their heads with nonsense.
[17:27] Dali
    Here's your milk.
[17:28] Dali
    I even made sure it's body temperature, too.
[17:32] Dali
    Would you mind, Henrique?
[17:33] Henrique
    S-Sure...
[17:36] Dali
    Sorry about the wait.
[17:37] Henrique
    Here.
[17:38] Dali
    Thanks. There we go.
[17:44] Dali
    I knew you were hungry!
[17:47] Dali
    Hey now, there's no rush.
[17:53] Dali
    So, there you have it.
[17:55] Dali
    I appreciate you gentlemen
    coming all the way out here,
[17:59] Dali
    but, as I told Lord Johannes,
    I have my hands full with my children.
[18:05] Dali
    Just consider me on a leave
    of absence for the time being.
[18:09] Henrique
    I guess we'll have to, if this is
    what Dali-boy really wants.
[18:14] Dino
    No. That's unacceptable.
[18:16] Dino
    Our duties take priority over all else.
[18:22] Dali
    Is that how you feel too, Gerhard?
[18:26] Gerhard
    Was it Frida?
[18:28] Gerhard
    Is this what she wanted?
[18:36] (Flashback) Frida
    Dali, the children...
[18:41] (Flashback) Frida
    Give them... all of your love...
[18:48] Dali
    That's none of your business.
[18:51] Gerhard
    It's not my business...?
[18:53] Gerhard
    Of course it is!
[18:56] Gerhard
    Considering I did it...
    I was the one who killed Frida.
[19:01] Henrique
    Wait... Gerhard killed Dali's wife?
[19:10] Gerhard
    Do you resent me, Dali?
[19:13] Dali
    No. Not at all.
[19:17] Dali
    If anything, I'm grateful.
[19:19] Dali
    Child-rearing is quite the experience!
[19:22] Dali
    You can approach it from any angle
    and never find a perfect answer.
[19:25] Dali
    I've decided to try my hand at mastering it.
[19:29] Dali
    To raise my boys right, and do it myself.
[19:34] Gerhard
    I won't stand for this.
[19:36] Gerhard
    A man like you cannot simply resolve
    himself to obscurity like that!
[19:42] Dali
    You'd rather I be the Dali Delico
     you've envisioned?
[19:46] Dali
    You never change.
[19:49] Dali
    But nothing you say will change my mind.
    I don't intend on returning to my duties.
[19:53] Gerhard
    You will be leading our
    investigation on this case.
[19:56] Dali
    I just told you, I have my hands full with—
[19:59] Gerhard
    Then take care of both!
[20:01] Gerhard
    Your mission from the Vlad Agency and 
    raising your children. Simply balance them!
[20:07] Clara
    Both of them, eh?
[20:09] Gerhard
    The Dali Delico I know is capable
    of any task, no matter how daunting!
[20:15] Dali
    Oh, is that right?
[20:18] Gerhard
    I'd never sell you short,
    no matter the reason!
[20:22] Gerhard
    So you must live up to that, Dali Delico!
[20:26] Dali
    Balancing my children and my mission...
    What a ridiculous request.
[20:31] Dali
    Very well. Consider your proposal accepted.
[20:37] Dali
    With stipulations, of course.
[20:40] Gerhard
    What stipulations?
[20:45] Angelico
    She took my toy!
[20:47] Lucia
    I did not!
[20:48] Raphael
    Wait!
[20:49] Angelico
    You did! I saw you!
[20:52] Lucia
    I told you, I'm just borrowing it!
[20:54] Henrique
    So he wants us all to balance
    child-rearing with the job, huh?
[20:59] Dino
    Those were his terms...
[21:01] Dino
    as lamentable as they may be!
[21:04] Henrique
    Is this even doable?
[21:08] Angelico
    Father, my toy!
[21:10] Gerhard
    Get it back yourself!
[21:16] Gerhard
    Where on earth has Dali gone?
[21:21] Johannes
    I've had all the case materials brought in.
[21:24] Johannes
    The Delico estate will now serve as
     headquarters for the serial murder case.
[21:31] Dali
    Thank you, sir.
[21:33] Johannes
    Is this really for the best, though?
[21:36] Dali
    Oh, I'd say Gerhard has a real point.
[21:41] Dali
    There's no reason I shouldn't be able to
    handle both child-rearing and the mission.
[21:46] Dali
    Besides, I'm curious to see how
    the others handle their children.
[21:51] Johannes
    You are?
[21:53] Dali
    It should be quite a show.
[21:55] Dali
    They're all proud men.
[21:58] Dali
    They won't accept failure after
    demanding as much from me.
[22:01] Dali
    They'll die before they admit defeat.
[22:04] Johannes
    Creeping intrigue and child-rearing, eh?
[22:07] Johannes
    You'll find both challenging.
[22:09] Dali
    All the better.
[22:12] Johannes
    Honestly, this place seems more like a nursery
    than the headquarters of an investigation.
[22:17] Dali
    Brilliant! Then that's what we'll
    call our base for this operation.
[22:24] Dali
    It's code name shall be... the nursery!
[22:34] Student A
    Teacher Claus, is everything all right?
[22:38] Student B
    Class is already about to start.
[22:41] Student A
    Is he going to skip again?
[22:44] Student B
    I'm amazed he's still in the Clan.
[22:59] Claus
    Come here.

[00:09] Elena
    Hey, hey.
[00:12] Elena
    What're you doing?
[00:13] Lucia
    Yeah, what're you doing?
[00:16] Dali
    Oh, this? It's work.
[00:20] Elena
    Work?
[00:22] Lucia
    What's work?
[00:24] Dali
    Work is supremely important.
[00:28] Elena
    Why's it important?
[00:29] Lucia
    Yeah, yeah. How come?
[00:31] Dali
    Well, because you can't
     just play all the time.
[00:37] Lucia
    That's weird.
[00:38] Elena
    We definitely play all the time!
[00:42] Elena

    Children are happiest when
     left to their own devices, I find.
[01:05] Angelico
    Raphael took my treat!
[01:08] Raphael
    I did not. This one is mine.
[01:12] Elena{unmarked AD}
    Too slow!
[01:17] Dali
    Hey, what's wrong, Ul?
    What's got you crying like that?
[01:22] Dali
    Your wonderful father is right here.
[01:27] Elena{unmarked ad}
    Are you going to catch me or not?!
[01:30] Angelico{unmarked AD}
    Give it back!
[01:34] Gerhard
    This is a nightmare.
[02:39] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[03:07] Sign
    Creeping Intrigue and Child-Rearing
[03:08] Gerhard
    This is intolerable! I have to object!
[03:14] Dali
    Could you keep your voice down, Gerhard?
[03:17] Dali
    The other kids are finally napping.
[03:20] Gerhard
    This simply isn't feasible.
[03:24] Gerhard
    Balancing the mission and child-rearing...
    I'm telling you, it can't be done!
[03:28] Dali
    Well, this was your idea.
[03:32] Gerhard
    I cannot deny that, but even so!
[03:35] Dali
    Don't tell me you were asking me to do
    something you yourself are incapable of.
[03:42] Henrique
    I do feel like having our HQ inside
    the kids' room might be a bit much.
[03:48] Dalico
    How else would we look after
    the children while we investigate?
[03:52] Dino
    You should leave that
    to your household staff.
[03:55] Dali
    Then I'd hardly be
     balancing anything, would I?
[04:00] Gerhard
    While we debate this,
    there continue to be more victims.
[04:05] Gerhard
    Officers have been posted
    in various locations,
[04:07] Gerhard
    but we've yet to get any verifiable reports.
[04:11] Henrique
    Sounds like we're out of leads.
[04:13] Dino
    The culprit may be something
    of a professional.
[04:17] Dali
    Except there's not one culprit.
    There are several.
[04:21] Dali
    The fatal wound is always a stab to the heart.
[04:24] Dali
    At a glance, this all looks like
     the work of one killer,
[04:28] Dali
    but the details of each case differ.
[04:30] Dali
    In addition to being stabbed, the victims have
    had broken bones, contusions, scratches...
[04:36] Dali
    Like the assailant is desperate to express
    their individuality in their attack.
[04:40] Gerhard
    Individuality?
[04:41] Dali
    I'd say we're looking at four...
    no, five people responsible.
[04:46] Gerhard
    A pack of roving thrill killers?
[04:49] Dali
    No. If that were the case,
    there would be no need for the cards.
[04:53] Henrique
    You think they have some special meaning?
[04:56] Dino
    Sounds like conjecture.
[04:58] Henrique
    "Equal death is given.
    This Vamp is no TRUMP."
[05:04] Henrique
    Maybe they're killing anyone they can
    in an attempt to get to the TRUE OF VAMP.
[05:10] Dali
    No, I wager this is some sort of propaganda.
[05:14] Henrique
    Propaganda?
[05:15] Dali
    They're making an appeal to the public
    about their ideals and agenda.
[05:20] Dino
    To what end?
[05:21] Dali
    There's going to be another
     phase to this case.
[05:25] Dino
    Another phase?
[05:27] Henrique
    Way to give me the chills.
[05:29] Gerhard
    Enough with the frivolous comments.
[05:32] Raphael
    Father...
[05:34] Raphael
    Say, what are you talking about?
[05:37] Dali
    Oh, you're up already?
[05:41] Dali
    What's wrong, Angelico?
[05:42] Angelico
    I need to go potty.
[05:46] Angelico
    Before it's too late...
[05:47] Gerhard
    Angelico.
[05:49] Gerhard
    Are you seriously bothering us with this?
[05:55] Henrique
    Come on, man, he's still pretty young.
[06:00] Dali
    All right, Angelico.
[06:03] Dali
    I'll take you.
[06:06] Raphael
    I'll go too.
[06:07] Dali
    Okay. Right this way.
[06:16] Dali
    Gerhard Fra.
[06:18] Dali
    I fully intend to balance this case
    and tending to my children.
[06:21] Dali
    Why not stake our blood and pride
[06:23] Dali
    on showing our kids how
    remarkable their fathers are?
[06:35] Gerhard
    Wait, Dali!
[06:37] Gerhard
    Dali!
[06:40] Clara
    You gentlemen seem to be working hard.
[06:45] Gerhard
    Hold it right there!
[06:48] Gerhard
    Angelico is my son!
[06:50] Gerhard
    I can look after him myself!
     Do not interfere!
[06:57] Dali
    Your father's rather impressive, Angelico.
[07:01] Dali
    That is exactly how the head
    of House Fra should behave.
[07:11] Gerhard
    Come along.
[07:18] Dali
    You could hold the boy's hand...
[07:22] Dali
    There, there.
[07:25] Dali
    Raphael, head back to your room.
[07:30] Dali
    Now, now, is it milk you need?
     Or a new diaper?
[07:45] Henrique
    What do you think Gerhard's
    issue is with Dali-boy?
[07:50] Dino
    What are you suggesting?
[07:52] Henrique
    Well, if he hadn't wound Dali-boy up,
    we wouldn't have gotten dragged into this.
[07:58] Dino
    Delico and Fra... Their families
    have been rivals for a long time.
[08:04] Dino
    I'm sure he was loath to see
[08:05] Dino
    Sir Dali throw his career away
     over such a trifling matter.
[08:09] Henrique
    The thing is... Remember what Gerhard said?
[08:14] Gerhard
    I did it... I was the one who killed Frida.
[08:19] Henrique
    Frida was Dali-boy's wife, right?
[08:22] Dino
    She was. There was a raid
    on the Delico estate.
[08:26] Dino
    Based on the reports,
     Frida fell under the attacker's sway
[08:31] Dino
    and was being controlled via their initiative.
[08:34] Dino
    We vamps are able to assert mental
    domination over those we bite.
[08:41] Dino
    She was bitten by one of the attackers,
    and thus followed their commands.
[08:46] Henrique
    So that's why Gerhard killed her?
[08:50] Dino
    The report didn't specify.
[08:53] Henrique
    I don't get it, though.
    Gerhard said he killed Frida...
[08:59] Henrique
    But Dali-boy said he's grateful?
[09:02] Dino
    We should not be speculating on this.
[09:05] Dino
    Our goal is to execute our duty—
[09:07] Henrique
    I get it! That's the aristocratic
    thing to do, right?
[09:11] Henrique
    Man, the Vlad Agency is full of real oddballs.
[09:13] Dino
    I do not appreciate that from you!
[09:18] Dino
    We work to ensure that
    the TRUE OF VAMP is not disturbed.
[09:22] Dino
    Which means putting an end to these attacks
    before they can have any such effect.
[09:29] Henrique
    And all while looking after the kids, huh?
[09:32] Henrique
    They're a disaster when they're awake,
    but they're precious when they're sleeping.
[09:37] Dino
    Now that is a dubious sentiment.
[09:40] Dino
    You should also find them
     precious when they're awake.
[09:44] Henrique
    Your little Theodore's pretty well-behaved.
[09:48] Dino
    Of course. Who do you think you're talking to?
[09:51] Henrique
    Yeah, yeah, so I'm a laissez-faire parent...
[09:56] Henrique
    Where is Theodore, anyway?
[10:03] Theodore
    What're you doing out here?
[10:06] Raphael
    Father said to go back to my room...
[10:09] Dino
    Then why don't you?
[10:11] Raphael
    But I need to use the bathroom...
[10:14] Dino
    What's stopping you?
[10:15] Raphael
    Can you come with me?
[10:18] Dino
    Why should I?
[10:20] Dino
    I envy you all, with your fathers
     doting on you so...
[10:25] Dino
    But maybe you're more like me,
[10:28] Dino
    all alone now that
    Ul's taken your father away.
[10:31] Rapahel
    I'm not alone!
[10:33] Dino
    I don't see anyone else here!
[10:34] Raphael
    I am not alone!
[10:36] Raphael
    Ul hasn't taken Father away!
[10:40] Dino
    If that's what you want
    to think, go right ahead.
[10:44] Ul
    Boogity boogity bah!
[10:46] Ul
    Look now, Ul, I'll do it again!
    Boogity boogity bah!
[10:52] Ul
    What's gotten into you?
[10:59] Angelico
    Raphael's crying...
[11:11] Gerhard
    I'll show you, Dali.
[11:13] Gerhard
    I'll balance this case
    and child-rearing perfectly too!

[11:27] Dali
    Where's Raphael gone?
[11:29] Henrique
    He followed you earlier, Dali-boy.
[11:32] Dino
    Sir Gerhard and Angelico
    haven't returned either.
[11:35] Clara
    Sir! It's Master Gerhard!
[11:43] Gerhard
    Come now, stop squirming!
[11:45] Henrique
    Well, I'll be damned.
[11:46] Henrique
    Never thought I'd see this.
[11:48] Gerhard
    This isn't a show, you realize?
[11:50] Dali
    What's the meaning of this, Gerhard?
[11:53] Gerhard
    You— Your son soiled himself, you see.
[11:57] Gerhard
    I thought he'd best bathe
    while his clothes are being washed.
[12:00] Raphael
    O-Ow! Ouch!
[12:02] Gerhard
    I told you to sit still!
[12:05] Gerhard
    Stop crying!
[12:25] Albrecht
    Welcome home.
[12:31] Albrecht
    Welcome back, sir.
[12:33] Dino
    Indeed.
[12:34] Albrecht
    Is something the matter?
[12:36] Dino
    Nothing of note. Have the case
    materials brought to my study.
[12:41] Albrecht
    Very good, sir.
[12:50] Theodore
    So stupid...
[12:53] Albrecht
    Pardon me.
[13:01] Albrecht
    The case doesn't seem to be
     proceeding smoothly, sir.
[13:06] Albrecht
    I have served you for many years now.
[13:08] Albrecht
    I can tell from your expression.
[13:11] Albrecht
    The Vlad Agency for which you work...
[13:14] Albrecht
    I'm well aware that their
    remit is one of great secrecy.
[13:18] Albrecht
    So I have no intention on prying.
[13:22] Dino
    Good. I should certainly hope not.
[13:24] Albrecht
    Indeed. That said, I'm struck
    by the oddness of Sir Dali's proposal.
[13:30] Albrecht
    Looking after children while on a case...
[13:32] Dino
    It won't be a problem.
[13:33] Albrecht
    You're certain, sir?
[13:35] Dino
    What are you getting at, Albrecht?
[13:38] Albrecht
    Young Master Theodore did not look well.
[13:44] Dino
    He's a quiet boy.
[13:47] Dino
    The ruckus the other children made
    must've been exhausting for him.
[13:52] Albrecht
    He's still very young.
[13:55] Albrecht
    Are you sure you won't consider remarrying?
[14:00] Dino
    My first wife, then the next,
[14:03] Dino
    as well as the one after
    and the one after that all ran off.
[14:06] Dino
    I'd say that's a good indicator
     no one in this world
[14:10] Dino
    is capable of staying by my side.
[14:13] Dino
    I no longer have any need of a wife.
[14:16] Albrecht
    There is a certain... arrogance
    to that line of thinking, sir.
[14:21] Dino
    Yet it is simply who I am.
[14:24] Albrecht
    You may not need a wife, but might
    not the young master need a mother?
[14:30] Dino
    A mother is no mere accessory for a child.
[14:33] Albrecht
    If you'd at least let the nanny and the
    rest of the staff help where we could...
[14:38] Dino
    Your assistance isn't necessary.
[14:40] Dino
    For the duration of this mission,
[14:42] Dino
    I alone shall see to Theodore's
    care and discipline.
[14:47] Dino
    That was Sir Dali's request.
[14:52] Theodore
    Father...
[15:05] Henrique
    That's some good wine!
[15:07] Henrique
    I think you'd like it, too.
[15:09] Kate
    What I'd like is an explanation.
[15:11] Henrique
    For what...?
[15:14] Kate
    Why did you take Lucia and Elena with you?
[15:17] Henrique
    I-It was Dali-boy's idea.
[15:20] Henrique
    He's apparently demanded that we
    balance the case with child-rearing.
[15:24] Henrique
    I mean, you know how he is.
    There's no talking sense into him.
[15:30] Kate
    The nonsense I'll tolerate is limited!
[15:32] Kate
    Dragging the girls into a Vlad Agency case...
[15:36] Kate
    What is Sir Dali thinking?
[15:40] Henrique
    He's a handful, but he's one of the
    sharpest Vamps the Blood Pact Council has.
[15:46] Henrique
    Lord Johannes says that we
    need him to solve this case.
[15:51] Henrique
    In other words, it's a real dangerous one.
[15:55] Henrique
    A priority mission with the survival
    of the vampire race on the line...
[15:59] Henrique
    The kind of job that'd justify
    sacrificing one's children.
[16:04] Kate
    Are you being serious right now?
[16:06] Henrique
    You don't need to worry.
    I'll keep the kids safe.
[16:11] Henrique
    I wouldn't want to sadden you, their mother.
[16:15] Henrique
    That's a promise.
[16:18] Kate
    You're as shrewd as ever...
[16:21] Elena
    Hey, hey! Father!
[16:24] Henrique
    You two are still up?
[16:26] Elena
    Lucia says she wants you to read us a story.
[16:30] Elena
    Right?
[16:31] Lucia
    Y-Yeah.
[16:33] Nanny
    Oh, here you two are!
[16:37] Nanny
    I-I'm so sorry, Master!
    I'll put them to bed right away.
[16:44] Henrique
    That's all right.
[16:45] Henrique
    Now, since you asked so nicely,
     your father's going to read to you tonight.
[16:50] Elena
    Yay!
[16:52] Lucia
    Mother too! I want her to come with us!
[16:56] Henrique
    Of course she'll be joining us.
[16:59] Henrique
    Right?
[17:00] Twins; unmarked AD
    Yay! Story time!
[17:12] Gerhard
    Who is it?
[17:18] Gerhard
    Angelico? What are you doing?
[17:22] Angelico
    Um, I was hoping... I could
    sleep in your bed, Father.
[17:30] Gerhard
    That's quite enough of that nonsense.
[17:32] Gerhard
    You are the heir
    to the prestigious Fra family.
[17:35] Gerhard
    I'm always telling you to be dignified.
[17:39] Angelico
    But... I'm still a child.
[17:42] Gerhard
    You are a noble before you are a child.
[17:45] Gerhard
    You'd do well to remember as much.
[17:48] Angelico
    Yes, sir...
[17:49] Gerhard
    You can return to your room now, then.
[17:55] Gerhard
    Did you not hear me? Go back to your room.
[17:59] Angelico
    I...
[18:01] Angelico
    I had a good time in the bath today.
[18:16] Gerhard
    What am I even saying?
[18:19] Gerhard
    A noble before he's a child?
[18:29] Dali
    What's wrong? You had your milk,
    and you've got a new diaper...
[18:33] Dali
    What's got you in tears still?
[18:36] Dali
    I hear you, so stop crying!
[18:39] Dali
    Come on!
[19:03] Dali
    He's finally asleep...
[19:05] Dali
    Here's hoping it lasts awhile this time.
[19:22] Dali
    Well, Frida...
[19:24] Dali
    It seems child-rearing poses a challenge,
    even for the great Dali Delico.
[19:31] Dali
    But rest easy. The word "impossible"
     isn't part of my vocabulary.
[19:38] Dali
    I'll raise both Raphael and Ul right.
[19:46] Kiki
    Hey, how much longer do we have to do this?
[19:50] Kiki
    I'm seriously starting to get bored.
[19:53] Officer A
    Don't move!
[19:55] Juras
    Police of the Blood, huh?
[19:57] Kiki
    Should I show them all some love?
[20:01] Catalina
    Well, we can hardly let
    them arrest us, can we?
[20:09] Gerhard
    They were wiped out?!
[20:10] Officer B
    Yes, sir.
[20:11] Officer B
    A Police of the Blood squad
     encountered the culprits
[20:14] Officer B
    immediately after they'd struck.
[20:16] Dali
    And it looks like it was
    a one-sided slaughter.
[20:20] Officer C
    The only survivor was in grave condition
     and taken to the hospital.
[20:27] Dali
    Someone actually lived?
[20:29] Officer B
    Oh, yes.
[20:31] Officer B
    The attending doctor
    found bite marks on his neck.
[20:37] Dino
    Bite marks?
[20:39] Dali
    They're controlling him via initiative.
[20:42] Officer A
    All is done in the TRUMP's name.
[20:45] Officer A
    That is Pendulum's way.
[20:50] Gerhard
    They're using him to make
    a statement on their behalf.
[20:53] Dali
    Pendulum...
[20:54] Dali
    One can be used as a tool
    in a search, such as for dowsing.
[20:58] Dino
    It's also the name of a criminal
    organization that worships TRUMP.
[21:02] Gerhard
    Then can we assume they're
    behind these incidents?
[21:06] Dino
    I suppose we'll need to question the officer.
[21:10] Officer B
    About that...
[21:14] Gerhard
    So after delivering the message,
    he was ordered to take his own life?
[21:20] Dino
    A rather elaborate trick.
[21:29] Gerhard
    What is it?
[21:30] Dali
    Oh, I'm just a bit amused at how
    I'd underestimated this case.
[21:37] Dali
    Pendulum, eh?
[21:39] Dali
    This won't be my first run-in with them.
[21:43] Dali
    I see now this case and child-rearing...
[21:46] Dali
    are both proving more
    formidable than I thought.

    Can I have that?
[00:02] Gerhard
    We are proud aristocrats!
    Why should we bother with such trifles?!

    Meals are as important here as our mission.

    A matter of life and death.

    Yeah, that's a good point.

    I thought it was clear that

    It's cooking for children.

    Just look!
[03:40] Gerhard
    Your chefs, deprived
    of their jobs, are at a loss!
[03:45] Dali
    They're still being paid.
    I fail to see the problem.
[03:50] Dali
    Wouldn't you agree, head chef?
[03:54] Head Chef
    As you wish, sir!
[03:55] Sous chefs
    Chef!
[03:59] Gerhard
    It's like you have no grasp of
    what it means to employ people.
[04:04] Dali
    I must say, I surprise even myself.
[04:08] Dali
    I've always believed that anything
    was within my reach,
[04:11] Dali
    but I never imagined I was a first-rate chef
     on top of everything else.
[04:17] Henrique
    I get the feeling you'd bounce back
    even if you lost it all, Dali-boy.
[04:20] Dino
    This isn't funny.
[04:21] Dali
    Now, while the stew cooks, can you
    all help me peel the blood cherries?
[04:27] Henrique
    Sure thing.
[04:29] Dino
    Sir Dali.
[04:30] Dino
    Could we put a pause on this foolishness?
[04:33] Dino
    Your plans adversely affecting
    the mission would be unacceptable.
[04:36] Dali
    We're currently playing defense.
[04:38] Dali
    Officers are being stationed,
    but for now, all we can do is wait.
[04:44] Henrique
    "All is done in the TRUMP's name."
[04:47] Henrique
    "That is Pendulum's way."
[04:51] Henrique
    Weird for the perps to intentionally
    reveal who they are...
[04:54] Gerhard
    A warped turn of events.
[04:56] Gerhard
    I can only imagine it's
    their way of mocking us.
[04:59] Henrique
    Feels like there's more to it than that.
[05:02] Dali
    It's no more complicated than it seems.
[05:04] Dali
    They want us to know they're
    responsible for the killings.
[05:09] Dino
    Making a statement, then.
[05:11] Dino
    And not one directed at the public.
[05:14] Henrique
    Their way of introducing themselves
    to the Vlad Agency, you mean?
[05:19] Dino
    The idea that the enemy
     knows of our institution...
[05:22] Henrique
    They might have a spy within
     the Blood Pact Council.
[05:26] Dali
    Pendulum is one of Vamp society's
    preeminent criminal organizations.
[05:31] Dali
    They gave Gerhard and I a rather hard
    time back in our inquisitor days.
[05:36] Dino
    An organization that worships
    the god of vampires, the TRUE OF VAMP,
[05:40] Dino
    whilst operating all manner
    of criminal enterprises...
[05:44] Dino
    If these killings are also their doing,
     what's their actual objective?
[05:50] Gerhard
    A Grand Guignol.
[05:53] Gerhard
    The ritual for presenting TRUMP,
    who is immortal and undying,
[05:58] Gerhard
    with a display of death.
[06:00] Dali
    All Vamps are said to be
    mentally linked to TRUMP.
[06:06] Dali
    The Grand Guignol was conceived as a way
    to provide a deathlike experience
[06:11] Dali
    to the undying TRUE OF VAMP.
[06:14] Henrique
    They're providing death?
[06:16] Dino
    Let me be blunt.
[06:18] Dino
    There's clearly something of significance
     between you and Pendulum.
[06:22] Dali
    There is—considering I, Dali Delico,
    was once the target of a Grand Guignol.
[06:29] Gerhard
    Dali...
[06:30] Dino
    For the duration of this case,
    we all share the same fate.
[06:34] Dino
    So let's hear it!
[06:36] Dali
    I never intended to keep secrets.
[06:39] Dali
    This was over a year ago...
[06:42] Dali
    I had been hunting down a certain individual.
[06:46] Dali
    His name was Barlach Bell.
    Vamps enrolled at the Clan
[06:49] Dali
    upon entering their cocoon phases
    were disappearing one after the other.
[06:54] Dali
    He was thought to be the one responsible.
[06:57] Dino
    I'm familiar with the case.
[06:58] Dino
    Young boys and girls in their cocoon
    phases vanishing like that...
[07:02] Dino
    An utterly disturbing affair.
[07:05] Dali
    Barlach was imprisoning them to perform
    all manner of cruel experiments.
[07:10] Dali
    Experiments involving initiative.
[07:21] Dali
    Vamps who bite a victim gain
    absolute control over them.
[07:26] Dali
    It was a deranged study meant
     to explore the nature of Vamphood.
[07:31] Dali
    The boys and girls who were placed
    under initiative lost their free will,
[07:35] Dali
    and then, under Pendulum,
[07:38] Dali
    were subject to even more depraved
     experiments before being cast aside.
[07:46] Henrique
    Experiments on the living...
[07:48] Dali
    Barlach was considered a suspect
    of interest, so I was tracking him down.
[07:53] Dali
    But he made his move before the
    investigation could reach him.
[07:58] (Flashback) Barlach
    And now, it's showtime!
[08:01] Dali
    Barlach took his underlings
    and all the cocoon phase Vamps
[08:04] Dali
    he was controlling via initiative...
[08:07] Dali
    and launched an assault on my estate.
[08:19] (Flashback) Dali
    Find somewhere to hide.
[08:44] Dali
    And then...
[08:48] Dali
    One of them gained initiative over Frida.
[08:53] Dali
    She was given the order...
[08:57] Dali
    to kill those she loved.
[09:05] Dali
    Which is why...
[09:08] (Flashback) Dali
    Frida!
[09:11] Dali
    She tried to kill me.
[09:19] (Flashback) Dali
    Frida! Frida!
[09:23] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Forgive me, Dali...
[09:27] (Flashback) Gerhard
    But I cannot allow you to die!
[09:31] Dino
    That explains everything.
[09:33] Dino
    Sir Gerhard's concern for you
    is out of a sense of guilt, then.
[09:43] Dali
    What a funny thing to say!
[09:46] Dali
    I'd rather you not underestimate Gerhard.
[09:49] Henrique
    What do you mean?
[09:50] Dali
    Gerhard is the noble master of House Fra.
[09:55] Dali
    He'd never let personal feelings
     affect his performance.
[09:59] Dali
    And if it weren't for him, I'd be dead.
[10:03] Dali
    To be frank, if I hadn't let
    myself be cornered so,
[10:07] Dali
    he wouldn't have been
    forced to dirty his hands.
[10:11] Dali
    I owe the man my life.
[10:15] Gerhard
    I... don't care for the way you put that.
[10:19] Dino
    I can't fathom any of this.
[10:22] Henrique
    It's probably fine, right?
[10:24] Dino
    Now, I assume this Barlach Bell,
[10:27] Dino
    responsible for the attack on your residence,
     was a member of Pendulum?
[10:33] Dali
    Yes, that's right.
[10:34] Henrique
    Any chance he's connected to this?
[10:38] Dali
    Barlach died at the end of that case.
[10:42] Dino
    Then...
[10:44] Dali
    We know nothing about the scale
    of Pendulum's operation.
[10:48] Dali
    But if they are, in fact, a group of
    religious zealots who worship TRUMP...
[10:53] Dali
    then eliminating them becomes our mission.
[10:56] Dino
    The worshipers of the primordial have
    long been a font of trouble.
[10:59] Dino
    We'll root them out if they begun to sprout.
[11:01] Dino
    That's what the Vlad Agency was founded to do.
[11:04] Henrique
    Still, I don't like having to wait
    for the other side to make a move...
[11:09] Henrique
    We could wind up with more victims
     while we sit around, you know?
[11:13] Gerhard
    Our duty is not to protect individual persons
[11:17] Gerhard
    but to ensure the survival of our entire race.
[11:21] Gerhard
    Sacrifices are—
[11:22] Dali
    Well, I believe the stew should
    nearly be done by now.
[11:25] Dali
    I'm going to check on Ul.
[11:28] Dali
    You men take it from here.
[11:31] Gerhard
    W-Wait!
[11:33] Henrique
    I think Dali-boy's big idea is to love
    his boys on behalf of the wife he lost.
[11:40] Dino
    Could you not spout such
    revolting notions so casually?
[11:44] Gerhard
    This is a curse...

    Over here, over here!
[11:59] Lucia
    Wait!

    Wait for me!
[12:01] Ferdinand
    It's wonderful how lively they are.
[12:03] Clara
    Careful now, or you'll fall.
[12:07] Elena
    It's fine!
[12:08] Lucia
    Don't worry!
[12:10] Dali
    There, Ul, how's that?
[12:12] Dali
    You're sure up high, aren't you?
[12:16] Dali
    Hey, there's a smile!
[12:18] Dali
    I can appreciate how bold
    you are when crying,
[12:21] Dali
    but you look simply invincible when smiling.
[12:27] Unmarked kids Adlib (Elena?)
    They got the ball!
[12:29] Dali
    Listen well, Ul.
[12:31] Dali
    You'll enter your cocoon phase someday.
[12:34] Dali
    All Vamps do once they're old enough.
[12:37] Dali
    When it happens,
     you'll go somewhere called the Clan.
[12:41] Dali
    And while there, I'm sure you're going
     to make irreplaceable comrades.
[12:45] Dali
    You'll laugh with them, quarrel
    with them, compete with them...
[12:50] Dali
    And before long, you'll be all grown—
[13:05] Clara
    Is something the matter, Master Raphael?
[13:08] Raphael
    Look.
[13:11] Dali
    Gracious...
[13:12] Dali
    This certainly isn't good...
[13:32] Clara
    Sir!
[13:33] Raphael
    Father?
[13:36] Raphael
    Father!
[13:57] Dali
    Frida?
[14:00] Frida
    Woke you, did I?
[14:04] Frida
    What is it? You look like you've seen a ghost.
[14:10] Dali
    I have. But I'm not scared.
[14:14] Dali
    Because I've been wanting to see her again.
[14:17] Frida
    I see.
[14:19] Dali
    You don't need to worry.
    We had a little hiccup, but...
[14:24] Dali
    Dali Delico's child-rearing is flawless.
[14:28] Frida
    You're really giving it your all, aren't you?
[14:31] Dali
    Of course. Raphael and Ul...
[14:35] Dali
    I'll make sure they grow up right.
[14:38] Frida
    Even so, don't push yourself too hard.
[14:41] Dali
    I haven't been.
[14:43] Dali
    Child-rearing is no challenge
    for someone like me.
[14:50] Frida
    I entrusted the boys to you.
[14:54] Frida
    I had no choice but to do so.
[14:57] Frida
    And in return, you've been doing
    more than I could've asked for.
[15:04] Dali
    Frida...
[15:06] Frida
    I'm sorry I can't be there with you.
[15:09] Frida
    But, please, don't carry this burden alone.
[15:15] Dali
    Frida?!
[15:17] Clara
    I see you're awake.
[15:21] Clara
    What a relief.
[15:24] Dali
    How's Ul?
[15:25] Clara
    You don't need to worry.
    Not so much as a scratch on him.
[15:30] Dali
    I see...
[15:31] Clara
    Please, sir, do get some rest.
[15:36] Dali
    Where are the children?
[15:40] Gerhard
    Good, good.
[15:44] Gerhard
    Good, good!
[15:45] Elena
    Come on! Go faster!
[15:48] Lucia (umarked AD)
    Yeah, faster!
[15:49] Dali
    What is this?
[15:50] Gerhard
    Sir Dali.
[15:52] Gerhard
    Why're you standing there in a daze?
[15:54] Henrique
    You're the one who told us to balance
    the mission with the kids, right?
[15:59] Dino
    And as reluctant as I may be,
[16:01] Dino
    we have been doing exactly that.
[16:04] Gerhard
    You're the leader of this team, are you not?
[16:07] Gerhard
    It's only natural that we carry out
     the agenda you've set for us.
[16:11] Dino
    The mission does take priority, however.
[16:14] Henrique
    We're gonna figure out who's behind
    these serial murders, right?
[16:18] Angelico
    What's a serial murder?
[16:20] Raphael
    Did someone murder cereal?
[16:22] Elena
    Is it something fun?
[16:25] Henrique
    I don't know if I'd call it that,
     but it's important to our job.
[16:29] Henrique
    And once it's taken care of,
    I'll play with you a bunch.
[16:32] Lucia
    Yay!
[16:34] Elena
    Take care of it fast, then!
[16:35] Angelico
    It's no fair if only Lucia
    and Elena get to play!
[16:39] Raphael
    I...
[16:40] Dali
    You'll play too, won't you, Gerhard?
[16:44] Dali
    Entertaining children is
    part of raising them.
[16:46] Dali
    Which makes it part of this task.
[16:50] Gerhard
    Very well! In the name of House Fra,
     I will play to my utmost!
[16:55] Angelico
    You mean it, Father?
[16:57] Angelico
    You really will?
[17:00] Gerhard
    An aristocrat keeps his word.
[17:04] Elena
    Good for you, Angelico!
[17:06] Lucia
    Let's all play together!
[17:08] Angelico
    Yeah!
[17:10] Angelico
    You'll join us too, right, Raphael?
[17:12] Rapahel
    S-Sure.
[17:13] Elena
    We're gonna play, gonna play!
[17:20] Mouse
    You should go with them.
[17:23] Bear
    You wanna play too, don't you?
[17:25] Theodore
    I've had enough of you. Just go away.
[17:28] Bunny
    My goodness, he's being so stubborn!
[17:30] Kitty
    Even though there's no point in hiding it.
[17:32] Mouse
    That's right, that's right!
[17:34] Bear
    You don't have to pretend!
[17:36] Head Chef
    Excuse me, sir...
[17:39] Dali
    Oh, what is it?
[17:41] Head Chef
    I heard you'd awoken.
[17:43] Dali
    I have, as you can see. And I'm doing fine.
[17:48] Head Chef
    Sir!
[17:50] Clara
    Trying to tough it out again, I see.
[17:52] Dali
    Well... sorry.
[17:54] Head Chef
    Lately, you really seem
    to be pushing yourself.
[17:59] Head Chef
    You need to maintain your health for both
    your work and child-rearing.
[18:03] Dali
    Indeed.
[18:04] Head Chef
    Which is why, sir...
[18:06] Head Chef
    We've prepared you a meal.
[18:11] Dali
    What is this?
[18:13] Head Chef
    A soup made from duck blood.
[18:17] Head Chef
    Since you're not at full strength, I thought
     something to go down easy would be best.
[18:22] Dali
    Quite.
[18:45] Dali
    I've always believed there was nothing
     I, Dali Delico, was incapable of.
[18:51] Dali
    As a matter of fact,
[18:53] Dali
    I'm sure I could achieve some measure
    of fame and fortune in the culinary world
[18:58] Dali
    if I so chose.
[19:00] Dali
    That said...
[19:02] Dali
    I have no idea if I could
    craft a dish quite so sublime.
[19:05] Dali
    I can see how you gentlemen have
    found yourselves as the Delico house chefs.
[19:12] Head Chef
    S-Sir!
[19:15] Dali
    I have an order for my head chef.
[19:19] Dali
    From now on... would you please
    handle the children's meals too?
[19:23] Dali
    At the end of the day,
    I can't compete against a pro.
[19:26] Sous chefs
    Chef!
[19:29] Head Chef
    O-Of course, sir!
[19:32] Head Chef
    Come on, we've got preparations to make!
[19:35] Sous Chefs
    Right!
[19:37] Head Chef
    Step lively now!
[19:40] Clara
    You, compromising? What a rare sight.
[19:46] Dali
    I had a dream.
[19:48] Clara
    A dream?
[19:49] Dali
    Yes. One with a ghost.
[19:52] Dali
    I fear that if I worry her too much,
     she may come to haunt me.
[19:56] Clara
    I see. Then this ghost must care
    for you deeply, sir.
[20:04] Dali
    I suppose she must.
[20:11] Johannes
    From the sound of things,
[20:13] Johannes
    balancing the mission with children
    is proving quite a challenge.
[20:16] Morris
    This is no laughing matter, sir.
[20:18] Morris
    Not only does the case remain unsolved,
    but we have no leads.
[20:23] Morris
    Lord Johannes, do you still intend
    to leave the matter to Dali Delico?
[20:29] Johannes
    And who would you suggest as
    an alternative, Sir Morris?
[20:34] Morris
    Still, at this rate...
[20:37] Johannes
    Dali is simply waiting.
[20:39] Johannes
    For the case to take a new turn
    where the culprits will expose themselves.
[20:43] Morris
    But if these people manage
    to affect the TRUE OF VAMP...
[20:48] Johannes
    I know.
[20:50] Johannes
    We must prevent a collapse,
    no matter what casualties it may cost.
[21:02] Morris
    There's no turning back now.
[21:17] Catalina
    Do you suppose they've
    received our message by now?
[21:20] Kiki
    They're not idiots, so they better have.
[21:25] Juras
    The Police of the Blood are on high alert.
    It's going to get harder to get around.
[21:29] Keith
    Once they do realize what we're after,
     they'll have to make a move.
[21:35] Catalina
    Then I say it's time we proceed
    to the next phase of the plan.
[21:40] Keith
    God is out there, somewhere,
    in this world. And soon...
[21:44] Keith
    We're going to destroy you!

[00:33] Dali
    The original vampire, the TRUE OF VAMP...
[00:37] Dali
    Our entire race is said
    to trace back to this one entity.
[00:42] Dino
    If the documents held by the Vlad
    family are to believed, yes.
[00:46] Dali
    TRUMP is said to have initiative that
    supersedes all other Vamps',
[00:50] Dali
    and is linked to all of us on a mental level.
[00:55] Dali
    That in mind, do you think these killings
     have reached the TRUE OF VAMP in some way?
[01:00] Gerhard
    As part of a Grand Guignol, you mean?
[01:04] Dali
    I do wonder what TRUMP might
     feel over these murders...
[01:07] Dali

    In fact, to tell you the truth,
[04:10] Dali
    I've started chronicling
    my parenting adventures.
[04:13] Dali
    Raphael's already grown
    compared to last week—
[04:21] Maurice
    We are here to hear a status report
     on the investigation,
[04:24] Maurice
    not about your child-rearing antics!
[04:27] Maurice
    Lord Johannes, please, do not indulge him
    in this chitchat about fatherly pursuits.
[04:33] Johnanes
    Come now, it's fine.
[04:36] Johnanes
    Balancing child-rearing with the
    investigation is the nursery's objective.
[04:40] Maurice
    If we cannot pin down
     the culprits responsible,
[04:43] Maurice
    we should attend to TRUMP's safety.
[04:46] Johannes
    Sir Maurice... TRUMP's whereabouts are
    a secret of the highest confidentiality.
[04:51] Johannes
    Even within the Vlad Agency, only myself,
     Sir Umberto the deputy director,
[04:57] Johannes
    and the few agents responsible
    for surveillance have that information.
[05:01] Maurice
    The time for such precaution has passed!
[05:04] Maurice
    Should this lead to a collapse...
[05:06] Maurice
    If this leads to a collapse,
    what will we do then?!
[05:15] Dali
    Where are the children?
[05:16] Henrique
    Finally down for a nap.
[05:19] Dino
    Have our two visitors left?
[05:22] Dali
    Yes.
[05:23] Henrique
    Lord Maurice seemed really
    hot under the collar.
[05:29] Dali
    I must say, I'm shocked to see how anxious
    the Vlad Agency's third-in-command is.
[05:35] Gerard
    That's not the kind of thing you should
    say about a superior officer, Dali.
[05:38] Henrique
    So, what's the deal?
[05:40] Dali
    Well, Lord Maurice is
    worried about a collapse.
[05:45] Henrique
    A collapse? A breakdown of Vamp society...
[05:48] Gerhard
    In our entire history, there have only been
    a handful of such catastrophes.
[05:53] Gerhard
    We can't afford to let another happen.
[05:56] Dino
    The most recent was over eighty years ago,
[05:59] Dino
    with the greatest number
    of casualties in recorded history.
[06:04] Gerhard
    A mass mortality event, caused by
    a decline in the TRUE OF VAMP's mental state.
[06:10] Gerhard
    TRUMP may be immortal,
     but if afflicted with suicidal thoughts...
[06:14] Gerhard
    Vamps all across the world,
    by all manner of means,
[06:19] Gerhard
    will begin to kill themselves
    in devastating numbers.
[06:23] Henrique
    Which is why the Vlad Agency
[06:25] Henrique
    must work to make sure our god
     stays in a good mood.
[06:29] Henrique
    Kinda like babysitting, actually.
[06:31] Dino
    It's said that TRUMP abstains from interaction
[06:34] Dino
    and lives a reclusive existence...
[06:38] Dino
    with a mind that is fragile and unstable.
[06:41] Gerhard
    If the group responsible for the murders
     makes contact with TRUMP,
[06:47] Gerhard
    it may well cause a new collapse.
[06:52] Henrique
    I have no idea where TRUMP might be,
[06:54] Henrique
    but having a moody god means no
    end of trouble for the likes of us.
[07:03] Dali
    Sounds like someone's awake.
[07:15] Catarina
    Well, you certainly took your time.
[07:18] Maurice
    Try to consider the position I'm in.
[07:21] Maurice
    If anyone saw me coming, it'd all be over.
[07:23] Keith
    And? How's the investigation
    going, proud Lord Maurice?
[07:29] Maurice
    There's been no progress.
[07:31] Maurice
    They're waiting to see what you do next.
[07:34] Kiki
    Sounds like they don't intend
     to stop the killings.
[07:38] Kiki
    Kind of a smart move if you think about it.
[07:41] Juras
    Their only concern is us making
     contact with the TRUE OF VAMP.
[07:46] Catarina
    And they don't care who
    or how many must die otherwise.
[07:50] Catarina
    Honestly, it's downright coldblooded.
[07:53] Keith
    So, are they moving to provide
    the TRUE OF VAMP with protection?
[07:57] Catarina
    Surely they plan on doing 
    something, don't they?
[08:01] Juras
    They must realize the risk of an intel leak
     if they don't act carefully.
[08:07] Catarina
    You think they know what we're after?
[08:10] Keith
    They might have an idea,
[08:12] Keith
    considering at least one of them
    seems to have a sharp intuition.
[08:14] Kiki
    You mean Dali Delico.
[08:16] Kiki
    He is such a pain in the ass.
[08:18] Catarina
    If they won't make a move,
     we'll just have to shake things up.
[08:21] Kiki
    Why not have this guy spill the beans already?
[08:24] Kiki
    Tell us where to find the TRUE OF VAMP.
[08:26] Maurice
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[08:28] Catarina
    I'm sure you're aware,
[08:30] Catarina
    but Vamps in their cocoon phases
    are rather emotionally unstable.
[08:33] Catarina
    Delusions and hallucinations
    tend to be pretty common.
[08:36] Kiki
    I love everyone in the world so much,
    I don't know what to do about it!
[08:41] Kiki
    Which is why I'm gonna love you to death!
[08:46] Maurice
    I-I don't know anything!
    Nothing about TRUMP's whereabouts...
[08:52] Keith
    By my initiative, I command you...
[08:55] Keith
    Kneel.
[09:06] Keith
    I hold initiative over you,
[09:10] Keith
    meaning you've got to do whatever I say.
[09:16] Dali
    There, there. Good boy.
[09:18] Dali
    They say children who sleep lots grow lots.
[09:21] Dali
    That makes sleeping your job.
[09:26] Dali
    Oh, Raphael. I see you're up.
[09:29] Dali
    It's almost snack time.
    Ask Clara to make you something.
[09:34] Raphael
    No.
[09:37] Dali
    Don't want anything? Then you
    should probably nap a bit more.
[09:40] Raphael
    No.
[09:41] Dali
    I see.
[09:43] Dali
    Why don't I read for you, then?
[09:45] Dali
    Any book you'd like.
[09:48] Raphael
    No!
[09:51] Dali
    Then we can play tag in the garden—
[09:53] Raphael
    No! Don't wanna!
[09:57] Dali
    There, there.
[09:59] Dali
    Your shouting has woken Ul up now.
[10:03] Dali
    Come on, play peekaboo with him.
[10:05] Raphael
    No!
[10:07] Dali
    What are you so upset about?
    You're Ul's big brother.
[10:11] Dali
    Look, Ul, your brother's going
    to play peekaboo with you.
[10:16] Dali
    Go on, Raphael.
[10:17] Raphael
    No!
[10:27] Dali
    All right, Raphael! Apologize to Ul!
[10:30] Raphael
    No! I'm not sorry!
[10:32] Dali
    You made him cry!
[10:34] Dali
    Now apologize!
[10:35] Raphael
    I don't want to!
[10:37] Dali
    That's quite enough!
[10:38] Raphael
    I wish Ul was dead!
[11:03] Gerhard
    What's all the commotion, Dali?
SIGN    Delico's Nursery
[11:15] Dali
    Acting like a baby?
[11:17] Gerhard
    Toddlers beyond a certain age
    can often start acting like babies again.
[11:24] Dali
    What's the cause?
[11:25] Gerhard
    In most cases, it's tied to the
    presence of a younger sibling.
[11:29] Dali
    What? You're saying that Ul is
    the reason Raphael's doing this?
[11:33] Henrique
    Sounds likely to me.
[11:35] Henrique
    Although my girls started their
    "no" phase when they were two.
[11:40] Dino
    Then it's a late "no" phase, I suppose.
[11:44] Dali
    What in the world is a "no" phase?
[11:46] Gerhard
    A form of self-expression children go through
    during the formation of their identity.
[11:51] Gerhard
    They lack a broader grasp of language,
[11:53] Gerhard
    so they simply reply "no" to everything.
[11:56] Gerhard
    It's also known as the
    first rebellious phase.
[11:59] Henrique
    Wow. You sure know your stuff.
[12:01] Gerhard
    Obviously.
[12:03] Gerhard
    I've perused all the material I could find
    regarding the phenomenon.
[12:09] Dali
    So, what am I supposed to do?
[12:10] Dino
    There's naught to do but accept it.
[12:12] Dino
    Raising your voice or getting physical
    is out of the question.
[12:17] Dali
    Raphael's been so timid since he was born.
[12:21] Dali
    He's never caused trouble like this before.
[12:24] Dali
    He's always done as I said, too.
[12:27] Dali
    Maybe that was just me being spoiled.
[12:33] Keith
    Go on, keep at it.
[12:35] Keith
    Dance some more!
[12:37] Keith
    Put on a good show for us.
[12:40] Kiki
    He looks like an idiot! That's hilarious!
[12:44] Catarina
    You shouldn't laugh so much, Kiki. It's mean.
[12:48] Maurice
    P-Please... enough...
[12:53] Keith
    Fine. Then die.
[12:55] Keith
    I wanna see you choke yourself to death.
[13:09] Keith
    Go on. Don't take all damn day.
[13:17] Juras
    Give it a rest. We still have a use for him.
[13:22] Keith
    Then no more dying.
[13:26] Catarina
    If only we could've used initiative
[13:29] Catarina
    to make him tell us
     about TRUMP from the start.
[13:31] Kiki
    We wouldn't have needed to do all
    this other crap that way.
[13:35] Keith
    Hey, tell us everything you know
     about the TRUE OF VAMP.
[13:43] Maurice
    That is not happening.
[13:45] Maurice
    You can threaten me,
    take my family hostage...
[13:49] Maurice
    but I have nothing to tell you
    about the TRUE OF VAMP!
[13:53] Catarina
    What an absolute pain.
[13:55] Catarina
    I suppose this is anti-initiative at work?
[13:58] Juras
    Looks like they're making sure no
    intel about TRUMP gets out.
[14:02] Keith
    It's not just this guy, either.
[14:05] Keith
    I'm pretty sure everyone in the
    Vlad Agency's been treated with it.
[14:11] Catarina
    Who could even do that?
[14:15] Keith
    Johannes Vlad.
[14:17] Keith
    He leads an illustrious
    house from the old days.
[14:20] Keith
    Their family head has always served
    as the director of the Vlad Agency.
[14:24] Keith
    He probably used his initiative.
[14:27] Catarina
    A requirement in order to join the agency...
[14:31] Catarina
    You could even call it an initiation.
[14:34] Kiki
    Isn't it against the rules to bite people
    to gain initiative over them?
[14:38] Juras
    Just goes to show how seriously
    they take info security regarding TRUMP.
[14:45] Juras
    I'd presumed that once they learned
    who we are, they'd move to protect TRUMP,
[14:50] Juras
    which would allow us
    to suss out a location, but...
[14:54] Keith
    It's fine. Our plan's just getting started.
[14:58] Keith
    Now, my initiative slave, I've
    got some more work for you to do.
[15:09] Clara
    Sir?
[15:10] Dali
    Clara.
[15:12] Clara
    I see he's sleeping quite soundly.
[15:15] Dali
    Indeed.
[15:17] Clara
    I heard about what happened
    with young Master Raphael.
[15:20] Dali
    Right...
[15:22] Dali
    You have children of your own, don't you?
[15:25] Clara
    Yes, five of them. All boys.
[15:28] Dali
    Raising five boys is rather impressive.
[15:31] Dali
    I find my hands full with just two.
[15:34] Clara
    Whether it's one or ten,
    rearing children is never easy.
[15:40] Dali
    How did you handle it?
[15:42] Clara
    I did everything I could...
[15:44] Clara
    Except for when I took it easy.
[15:48] Dali
    Taking it easy, eh?
[15:50] Clara
    There's no such thing as a
    perfect parent, after all.
[15:53] Dali
    I've always thought there was
    nothing Dali Delico couldn't do.
[15:58] Dali
    But right now, I have no idea
    what to do about Raphael.
[16:03] Clara
    If you don't know,
    you'll just have to think on it.
[16:06] Dali
    Yes, I suppose you're right.
[16:08] Dali
    The Delicos are upper crust
    even among aristocratic families.
[16:12] Dali
    I need to raise him right,
     as his proud noble heritage demands.
[16:16] Clara
    Sir.
[16:18] Clara
    This isn't about an
    aristocrat raising a child.
[16:21] Clara
    That's a parent's job.
[16:24] Dali
    Right. I'll keep that in mind.
[16:59] Lucia
    One of you is the culprit!
[17:02] Henrique
    Miss Detective, whatever do you mean?
[17:05] Lucia
    You're the one who ate
    all of our cake for himself!
[17:10] Elena
    O-Oh no! I can't believe
    Mister Dino would do such a thing!
[17:15] Dino
    What is the basis for this?
[17:17] Dino
    What proof have you that I did the deed?
[17:20] Dino
    Making such an accusation without any
    evidence is a serious case of defamation.
[17:27] Lucia
    Y-You're supposed to say, "Indeed, it was me!"
[17:30] Elena
    Hey, Papa...
[17:31] Elena
    Playing with Mister Dino isn't very fun.
[17:35] Dino
    I don't care for your tone.
[17:36] Henrique
    Aw, come on, Dino.
[17:38] Henrique
    Play along a little. I'm sure you
    played pretend with Theodore, right?
[17:43] Dino
    I bid you not to make such assumptions.
[17:46] Dino
    Theodore has been receiving an
    education with an eye toward
[17:50] Dino
    leading the Classico household from
    the moment he could stand upright!
[17:54] Elena
    You mean Theodore has never
    played pretend before?
[17:57] Lucia
    That poor boy.
[17:59] Dino
    He's in a thoroughly different
     league from the two of you!
[18:02] Henrique
    Hey, watch what you say.
[18:05] Elena
    You know, we should get
    Theodore to play with us.
[18:08] Lucia
    Good idea.
[18:12] Gerhard
    The Police of the Blood will be
    increasing security around town.
[18:17] Gerhard
    They're also working on
    gathering eyewitness reports.
[18:20] Dali
    They won't find anything.
[18:22] Gerhard
    Still, over the last two weeks,
    there've been no new incidents.
[18:27] Gerhard
    Maybe our foe is being
     more cautious now, too.
[18:29] Dali
    I wouldn't be so sure.
[18:31] Gerhard
    Thoughts occupied with your children?
[18:34] Gerhard
    You're not being your usual irritating self.
[18:40] Dali
    I'm just at something of a loss
     regarding Raphael's "no" phase.
[18:47] Dali
    It's rather a problem.
[18:48] Gerhard
    Where does this fixation
    on child-rearing come from?
[18:52] Dali
    Is there something wrong with a parent
    focusing on raising his child?
[18:55] Gerhard
    I know it was my suggestion to balance
    the children with the mission,
[18:59] Gerhard
    but your pains to that end are still extreme.
[19:03] Gerhard
    Why?
[19:04] Dali
    Because that's what Frida wanted.
[19:09] Gerhard
    It's a curse.
[19:11] Dali
    A curse?
[19:12] Gerhard
    Yes, a curse called love.
[19:16] Dali
    Gerhard, how can you say something
     so florid so unabashedly?
[19:21] Gerhard
    I am quite serious!
[19:23] Gerhard
    Dali, Frida's wish has shackled you!
[19:27] Gerhard
    It is nothing less than a curse!
[19:30] Dali
    Gerhard...
[19:31] Dali
    The same applies to you.
[19:38] Ferdinand
    Sir.
[19:39] Dali
    What is it?
[19:40] Ferdinand
    Lord Johannes is here.
[19:44] Gerhard
    You're saying that documents regarding
    the Vlad Agency have been stolen?
[19:49] Johannes
    Indeed.
[19:50] Johannes
    An internal investigation is underway,
[19:52] Johannes
    but we already know who's responsible.
[19:54] Henrique
    Well, who is it?
[19:58] Johannes
    Sir Maurice.
[20:03] Dino
    We'd suspected a leak, but this is...
[20:07] Lane
    We apprehended Sir Maurice immediately.
[20:11] Lane
    We were questioning him
     in secret. However...
[20:16] (Flashback) Maurice
    Lord Johannes, please,
    you must save our people!
[20:20] (Flashback) Maurice
    They intend to... The TRUE OF VAMP...
[20:27] Dino
    He killed himself, did he?
[20:30] Lane
    Sir Maurice's body was sent
    for an autopsy at once.
[20:34] Lane
    It revealed bite marks on his shoulder.
[20:39] Dali
    Someone had initiative over him.
[20:41] Johannes
    None of the stolen documents included
     information on the TRUE OF VAMP.
[20:47] Johannes
    However...
[20:48] Lane
    Among them was a roster
    of Vlad Agency operatives.
[20:53] Lane
    Chances are our enemy now has that intel.
[20:56] Henrique
    Which means this place could
    come under attack at any time.
[20:59] Johannes
    None of this has been made public yet.
[21:03] Johannes
    I'm sorry, Sir Dali Delico, but I'm
    afraid we must close the nursery.
[21:13] Lucia
    Oh, there he is!
[21:14] Elena
    Hey, Theodore, you should play dolls with us!
[21:19] Lucia
    Come on!
[21:22] Theodore
    I'm reading right now.
[21:24] Elena
    You can do that anytime.
[21:27] Lucia
    Come on and play with us.
[21:29] Theodore
    Shut up!
[21:31] Theodore
    I'm not going to play with children like you!
[21:34] Lucia
    You don't have to be so mean, Theodore!
[21:36] Elena
    Let's go, Lucia.
[21:41] Theodore
    I...
[21:44] Theodore
    I have to be a proper
    aristocrat like my father.

[00:25] (Flashback) Keith
    Can't believe you dragged me down here...
[00:28] (Flashback) Keith
    If this isn't worthwhile,
    I'll tear you apart.
[00:31] (Flashback) Pizarro
    I'd like to introduce you to someone.
[00:37] (Flashback) Keith
    Who the hell is this? Some
    clown that escaped the circus?
[00:41] (Flashback) Seurat
    This gentleman is one of the few
    people to have ever laid eyes on TRUMP.
[00:46] (Flashback) Keith
    Say what...?
[00:47] (Flashback) Pizarro
    No one believes him, though,
    chalking it all up to some fairy tale.
[00:52] (Flashback) Pizarro
    But TRUMP unmistakably
    exists somewhere in this world.
[00:56] (Flashback) Pizarro
    Juras here has met the TRUE OF VAMP before.
[01:01] (Flashback) Keith
    Listen up, Pizarro...
[01:03] (Flashback) Keith
    I don't give a damn if
     the TRUE OF VAMP exists or not.
[01:08] (Flashback) Keith
    All I want is to stay in
    my cocoon phase forever!
[01:11] (Flashback) Pizarro
    Of course. No objections there.
[01:24] (Flashback) Kiki
    Seriously, that's just going overboard.
[01:26] (Flashback) Juras
    Some sort of attempt to experience a
    second cocoon phase as an adult Vamp?
[01:32] (Flashback) Catarina
    If you don't rein it in,
    you're going to kill yourself.
[01:37] (Flashback) Keith
    This will never end...!
[01:40] (Flashback) Keith
    An eternal cocoon phase!

    The Second Nursery
[03:22] Dali
    This victim is...
[03:24] Dino
    Indeed, a member of the Vlad Agency.
[03:28] Henrique
    Welp, that makes six.
[03:30] Dino
    And, following the trend, there's a bite mark.
[03:34] Dino
    Someone tried to use their initiative
    to get intel on TRUMP.
[03:38] Henrique
    Safe to say the Vlad Agency
    is being targeted, huh?
[03:42] Gerhard
    All agents have received the order
    to go into hiding.
[03:45] Gerhard
    Hopefully that'll be enough
    to prevent further casualties.
[03:49] Henrique
    What a pain in the neck, especially
    with how well the nursery's been going.
[03:54] Dino
    If this relives us of the burden of
    playing at domesticity, I welcome it.
[03:58] Dino
    That said, all of our homes, including the
    Delico estate, are now known to the enemy.
[04:05] Gerhard
    We should have the children stay
    someplace safe until the case is resolved.
[04:10] Dali
    Right.
[04:14] Twins (unmarked ad)
    Come on!
[04:15] Angelico (unamrked adlib)
    Let me have it!
[04:18] Elena
    There!
[04:19] Elena
    Go on! Get the ball!
[04:21] Angelico
    You two are working together! It's no fair!
[04:23] Lucia
    Raphael!
[04:25] Elena
    Go on, Angelico! The ball's right over there!
[04:28] Lucia
    Go and get it!
[04:29] Lucia
    Raphael, toss it here!
[04:42] Clara
    What is going on in here?
[04:45] Elena
    Well, Raphael made Angelico cry.
[04:54] Clara
    It's just a bit red. That's all.
[04:56] Elena
    You should apologize, Raphael.
[04:59] Raphael
    It wasn't my fault...
[05:01] Lucia
    But you made Angelico cry.
[05:04] Clara
    Miss Lucia. Miss Elena.
[05:06] Clara
    You must understand that my home
    is not as spacious as Master Dali's.
[05:11] Clara
    It's good that you're full of energy,
    but I need you to settle down.
[05:16] Lucia
    But...
[05:18] Elena
    We're bored.
[05:19] Lucia
    I wanna go home!
[05:21] Clara
    Once their work is done,
    your fathers will return.
[05:22] Twins(unmarked Ad lib)
    No! I want to go home! No!
[05:26] Clara
    Then we can have something to eat.
[05:28] Lucia
    I don't wanna eat! I wanna go home!
[05:29] Clara
    Come now, Miss Elena, it won't be long.
[05:30] Elena
    I wanna see Mama!
[05:33] Lucia
    No! I wanna go home!
[05:36] Kitty
    Is that sad or what?
[05:39] Theodore
    Shut up. Stay away.
[05:42] Bear
    I can't believe they think
    you're like those children.
[05:46] Mouse
    Nobody understands at all.
[05:48] Bunny
    You're all grown up already,
    aren't you, Theo?
[05:51] Theodore
    I told you to shut up!
[05:55] Lucia
    Theodore's being mean again...
[05:58] Clara
    Young Master Theodore, you
    mustn't use such rude language.
[06:04] Theodore
    I wasn't...
[06:06] Theodore
    It's the stuffed animals...
    They keep making fun of me...
[06:10] Clara
    The stuffed animals?
[06:13] Ferdinand
    Young Master Raphael?
[06:17] Clara
    Where are you going? It's not safe outside.
[06:20] Ferdinand
    I'll see to the others.
    Go after Master Raphael.
[06:25] Clara
    Right.
[06:28] Lucia
    Raphael hasn't been very happy lately.
[06:31] Elena
    Yeah. I wonder what's wrong.
[06:47] Raphael
    I wish Ul had never been born...
[06:56] Clara
    I see you were checking
     on Master Ul, Master Raphael.
[07:03] Clara
    Your father told me...
[07:06] Clara
    how sure he is you'll be a kind older brother.
[07:10] Raphael
    I'm not kind at all...
[07:14] Clara
    Why are you making trouble
    for your father, Master Raphael?
[07:18] Raphael
    I'm not...
[07:20] Clara
    But he's the only one that you say "no" to.
[07:29] Raphael
    You won't tell anyone?
[07:31] Clara
    Of course not. Not a soul.
[07:38] Raphael
    It's... It's that... I...
[07:42] Raphael
    I don't like Ul.
[07:45] Raphael
    He's keeping Father all to himself.
[07:50] Clara
    I see.
[07:53] Clara
    So you're lonely, Master Raphael.
[08:07] Lucia
    Why is Raphael crying?
[08:09] Elena
    How should I know?
[08:15] Ferdinand
    There you girls are!
[08:17] Twins
    Run for it!
[08:24] Johannes
    Has everyone evacuated?
[08:27] Dali
    Yes. The Delico estate is deserted.
[08:31] Dali
    The children are staying with a nanny.
[08:36] Lane
    The various members of the Vlad Agency
    have all gone into hiding as well.
[08:42] Lane
    There have been no additional disappearances.
[08:46] Henrique
    Not yet, anyway.
[08:48] Dino
    How comical.
[08:50] Dino
    Should a group of nobles
    really be running and hiding?
[08:54] Dino
    Sir Dali, you are the leader of this team.
[08:59] Dino
    Set an agenda for us.
[09:01] Gerhard
    Do you have some sort of plan?
[09:03] Dali
    Of course I do. I've already
    asked the director for his help.
[09:08] Dali
    Lord Johannes Vlad will retire to his estate,
[09:13] Dali
    acting as the bait we'll use
     to lure out our quarry.
[09:19] Dino
    Have you gone mad?
[09:21] Henrique
    What are we gonna do if these guys
    actually manage to kill Lord Johannes?
[09:25] Dali
    Our mission isn't to protect Lord Johannes.
[09:30] Dali
    It's to eliminate any threat
     to the TRUE OF VAMP.
[09:33] Dali
    As I've said, all sacrifice is justified.
[09:36] Gerhard
    But to use Lord Johannes as bait...
[09:40] Dali
    The director of the Vlad Agency
[09:42] Dali
    is a position passed down his bloodline.
[09:45] Dali
    Even if Lord Johannes is killed,
    his son can simply take over.
[09:51] Henrique
    You're asking a lot here...
[09:53] Dino
    Sir Dali Delico, it appears you're
    even madder than I suspected.
[09:59] Dali
    Lord Johannes will prove
    too tempting to resist.
[10:03] Johannes
    I appointed you to lead this task force.
[10:07] Johannes
    If that's the plan you've concocted,
    I'll gladly act as bait.
[10:12] Gerhard
    Lord Johannes...
[10:14] Dali
    I'm honored, sir.
[10:16] Johannes
    There is one matter of concern, however.
[10:19] Lane
    There happens to be a
    member of the Vlad Agency
[10:23] Lane
    who's refused the order to go into hiding.
[10:25] Dino
    Defying orders, hmm?
[10:28] Gerhard
    Well, who is it?
[10:29] Gerhard
    Someone you're all quite familiar
    with... Sir Umberto Lent.
[10:35] Gerhard
    Lord Umberto?
[10:37] Dali
    Good grief. Of course it's
    the agency's second-in-command.
[10:42] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[11:02] Henrique
    This is some pretty tight security.
[11:06] Dino
    Naturally. We can't risk anything
    happening to Lord Umberto.
[11:12] Henrique
    Here's hoping Dali-boy and Gerhard
     can talk sense into him.
[11:18] Gerhard
    It's good to see you again, Lord Umberto.
[11:21] Umberto
    It's good of you to come.
[11:23] Umberto
    I believe this is the first we've met
    since you two joined the agency.
[11:29] Umberto
    I've known of you both
    since you were still at the Clan.
[11:33] Umberto
    I'm sure your fathers would be proud,
    were they alive to see you now.
[11:38] Dali
    Indeed, you attended
    the Clan with them, did you not?
[11:43] Umberto
    Yes. Lord Johannes and I
     were three years their senior.
[11:50] Umberto
    We were all in our cocoon phases
    back then. Not a pretty sight.
[11:54] Umberto
    I'm sure the both of you can relate.
[11:57] Umberto
    The stories of how you two
    competed at the Clan
[12:00] Umberto
    reached even the Blood Pact Council.
[12:03] Gerhard
    I'd honestly rather not reminisce
    about my cocoon phase, sir.
[12:09] Umberto
    Your fathers considered each other
    worthy rivals, even at the Clan.
[12:13] Umberto
    But more than that, they were best friends.
[12:17] Umberto
    And it seems their sons have followed suit.
[12:21] Gerhard
    Dali and I?! Best friends?!
[12:23] Gerhard
    P-Please don't jest, sir!
[12:26] Gerhard
    With this menace? I would never!
[12:28] Dali
    There's no need to blush, Gerhard.
[12:30] Gerhard
    I am not!
[12:34] Umberto
    Yes, forgive me. This is no
    time for nostalgia, I suppose.
[12:39] Dali
    I assume you understand
[12:42] Dali
    why we've come to see you.
[12:44] Umberto
    I do.
[12:46] Gerhard
    We are currently tracking down the group
    responsible for the murder spree.
[12:51] Umberto
    I've seen the reports.
[12:54] Dali
    The killers are after information
    on the TRUE OF VAMP's whereabouts.
[12:58] Dali
    So we intended to have
    Lord Johannes act as bait,
[13:02] Dali
    all to lure our enemy out of hiding.
[13:05] Umberto
    A bold strategy.
[13:09] Dali
    Now, if you refuse to go into
    hiding, Lord Umberto,
[13:13] Dali
    that makes two potential
    targets for our foes.
[13:16] Dali
    Which would divide our resources,
    lowering the operation's odds of success.
[13:21] Gerhard
    So please, we've come to ask you to evacuate.
[13:24] Umberto
    Sir Dali. Sir Gerhard.
[13:29] Umberto
    We are aristocrats of noble standing.
[13:31] Umberto
    You two have inherited the
    honor of your fathers.
[13:35] Umberto
    So you should understand why,
    in the name of that honor,
[13:39] Umberto
    I will not flee before our enemy.
[13:43] Dali
    The Vlad Agency has a duty
     to protect the TRUE OF VAMP
[13:46] Dali
    and prevent the downfall of our kind.
[13:50] Dali
    I'm fully prepared to surrender
    my pride, or anyone else's,
[13:53] Dali
    before our enemy in the name
    of upholding that duty.
[13:56] Umberto
    Perhaps you're not so much like
    your father after all, Sir Dali.
[14:07] Henrique
    Hey, Dino...
[14:09] Dino
    What is it?
[14:11] Henrique
    I'm feeling... weirdly tired.
[14:13] Dino
    We're on duty. Show some discretion.
[14:24] Dino
    Of course. Sleeping gas.
[14:28] Dino
    They've got the upper hand.
[14:33] Henrique
    Bite your tongue, man.
    If we pass out here, we're done for.
[14:39] Dino
    These lowborn scum are going to learn
     my blood comes at a high price...
[14:46] Kiki
    Ugh, what'd you have to dodge for?!
[14:53] Henrique
    Dino!
[15:00] Kiki
    So Catarina's gas didn't get you?
[15:02] Kiki
    I'm actually impressed!
[15:06] Kiki
    Go on, Abraham.
[15:08] Kiki
    We need to show these two some love, too!
[15:12] Gerhard
    What is it, Dali?
[15:14] Dali
    Lord Umberto, forgive our rudeness.
[15:18] Dali
    It seems you'll serve as bait just as well.
[15:21] Umberto
    What?
[15:21] Dali
    Pardon me.
[15:26] Catarina
    Oh my, are we interrupting?
[15:29] Dali
    Oh, hardly. I was hoping you'd all drop by.
[15:36] Keith
    I'll kill 'em!
[15:46] Henrique
    Dino!
[15:51] Kiki
    Y'know, thanks to my cocoon phase,
    I just love absolutely everyone!
[15:56] Kiki
    Not only that...
[15:58] Kiki
    Because of all the screws I've got loose,
    I'm as strong as a bloody monster!
[16:05] Kiki
    Okay, that's enough fooling around here.
[16:09] Kiki
    Let's hurry to the main event.
[16:15] Catarina
    I'm not sensing a lot of restraint.
[16:17] Dali
    I could say the same of you. I won't
    fault you for going easy, you realize?
[16:24] Dali
    This reminds me of our
    fencing lessons at the Clan.
[16:28] Gerhard
    Save the reminiscing for later!
[16:32] Henrique
    You okay, Dino?
[16:34] Dino
    I've never felt so insulted before in my life.
[16:38] Dino
    This calls for a punitive response.
[16:40] Henrique
    Yeah, you bet it does.
[16:45] Dali
    Now then, why don't you
    all introduce yourselves?
[16:53] Kiki
    You're not done yet? Can't we
    wrap this up and go home already?
[16:58] Kiki
    We meet again, Dali Delico.
[17:01] Catarina
    You're acquainted?
[17:02] Gerhard
    When the Delico estate was attacked,
[17:05] Gerhard
    there was a report of one Vamp
    seen escaping the scene.
[17:09] Gerhard
    That must have been you.
[17:11] Dali
    If you're here, that only confirms
    this is Pendulum's doing.
[17:18] Kiki
    And what if it is?
[17:20] Dali
    This case had been perplexing
    enough to frustrate me,
[17:24] Dali
    but I daresay I feel relieved now.
[17:27] Dali
    And now, it's time for the purge.
[17:31] Kiki
    I hope you realize which
    of us is getting purged!
[17:41] Henrique
    What in the world?
[17:46] Catarina
    Excuse me?! Are you trying
    to flatten us, too?!
[17:51] Gerhard
    Dali! Are you all right?
[17:53] Dali
    Yeah.
[17:54] Keith
    Hey there, fellas.
[17:57] Juras
    It seems we've secured
    checkmate in this game.
[18:03] Catarina
    It's been fun, but looks like we win.
[18:08] Dino
    Hold it right there.
[18:09] Dino
    Release Lord Umberto at once.
[18:12] Henrique
    I have my doubts about them
    actually listening, to be honest.
[18:16] Keith
    You got that right.
[18:18] Keith
    The Vlad Agency's second-in-command,
    Umberto Lent,
[18:22] Keith
    is one of very few people
    with any info on the TRUE OF VAMP.
[18:26] Dali
    Using initiative won't get you anywhere.
[18:29] Dali
    In order to prevent any of us from
    leaking information regarding TRUMP,
[18:35] Dali
    we've already received anti-initiative.
[18:39] Keith
    I know! Which is why we came after this guy.
[18:43] Gerhard
    What does that mean?
[18:46] Keith
    I took a good look at your record in the
    docs that Sir Maurice nabbed for us...
[18:52] Keith
    You've always been second best.
[18:55] Keith
    Sir Umberto, you've always been
    a step behind Johannes Vlad.
[19:01] Keith
    You've been suffering in his
    shadow a long damn time.
[19:04] Keith
    I wonder how that's affected your loyalty.
[19:08] Keith
    Could it be that, just maybe,
    my initiative might beat Johannes's...
[19:13] Keith
    at least when it comes to you?
[19:16] Kiki
    Well, hurry up and bite him already.
[19:19] Umberto
    It's futile.
[19:20] Umberto
    You won't get a single
    detail about TRUMP from me.
[19:25] Juras
    How can you be so sure?
[19:28] Umberto
    Sir Dali.
[19:30] Umberto
    Never forget a vampire's pride.
[19:35] Gerhard
    Lord Umberto?
[19:42] Keith
    Death before dishonor, huh?
[19:45] Kiki
    See what happens when you draw it out?
[19:48] Keith
    The intel on TRUMP hardly matters.
[19:51] Kiki
    Why are we even here, then?
[19:53] Keith
    I just wanna wreck everything...
[19:57] Keith
    People, their love
    and friendships, their lives!
[20:01] Keith
    I just wanna destroy
    the whole world so damn bad!
[20:06] Keith
    And if the TRUE OF VAMP really does exist,
     I'll destroy TRUMP too!
[20:14] Keith
    An immortal, undying vamp?
    I wonder what it'd take!
[20:21] Gerhard
    Damn you!
[20:23] Juras
    Let's go.
[20:25] Gerhard
    You won't escape!
[20:40] Dino
    It seems we've made quite
    the colossal blunder.
[20:47] Gerhard
    Dali...
[20:55] Dali
    Lord Umberto executed his duty nobly.
[21:00] Dali
    Honor demands that we repay his sacrifice.
[21:08] Dino
    The Police of the Blood will handle
    the rest of the investigation.
[21:13] Gerhard
    I've sent someone to inform Lord
    Johannes of what's transpired.
[21:20] Henrique
    We oughta head home. The kids are waiting.
[21:33] Clara
    Now, I'm sure you're all hungry.
[21:36] Clara
    Let's all head to the table...

    Sorry, girls.
[02:02] Henrique

[02:05] Elena
    You had better mean it!
[02:07] Lucia
    It's a promise!
[02:08] Henrique
    Yeah, you bet it is.
[02:23] Gerhard
    Well...
[02:25] Gerhard
    I'm headed out.
[02:29] Angelico
    Right!
[02:35] Dali
    Raphael, look after Ul while I'm gone.
[02:40] Raphael
    Don't wanna.
[02:41] Dali
    Listen, Raphael.
[02:43] Dali
    You're the only brother that Ul has.
[02:47] Dali
    If anything happens to me,
    you have to protect him.
[02:53] Raphael
    I won't. It's not like I can, anyway.
[02:57] Dali
    It's all right. I know you'll do fine.
[03:01] Dali
    After all, you're my son, aren't you?
[03:20] Mouse
    Aren't you gonna say anything?
[03:22] Theodore
    Like what?
[03:23] Bear
    A fond farewell for your daddy.
[03:26] Theodore
    Hardly. I'm no child.
[03:30] Bunny
    You are so desperate!
[03:32] Kitty
    But suit yourself!
[03:44] Ferdinand
    Oh dear!
[03:45] Elena
    Let's play with the ball next!
[03:47] Lucia
    Let's play catch indoors!
[03:49] Ferdinand
    You really should find
    a quieter form of play...
[03:54] Theodore
    Honestly, you are such children!
[04:00] Elena
    Yeah, that's right.
[04:01] Lucia
    We're kids.
[04:05] Theodore
    It's far too noisy in here to read.
    I need you to pipe down.
[04:09] Elena
    Excuse me?!
[04:10] Lucia
    You don't have to get so mad.
[04:14] Ferdinand
    Come now, this just goes to show
    it's better to be quiet.
[04:18] Ferdinand
    Perhaps you and Master Theodore could—
[04:20] Lucia
    Great idea! You should play tag with us!
[04:24] Elena
    That is a great idea!
[04:35] Ferdinand
    Oh, Miss Elena... Are you all right?
[04:41] Angelico
    Apologize to Elena!
[04:42] Theodore
    Shut up.
[04:44] Angelico
    If you do something wrong,
    you need to apologize!
[04:47] Theodore
    I am not apologizing!
[04:49] Angelico
    Say you're sorry!
[04:50] Theodore
    Shut up! Get away from me!
[04:53] Angelico
    How dare you?!
[04:55] Angelico
    Apologize! Apologize!
[04:58] Ferdinand
    Young masters, please cease this!
[04:59] Angelico
    Apologize!
[05:01] Theodore
    You...!
[05:03] Clara
    That's quite enough.
[05:04] Clara
    What caused all this?
[05:07] Angelico
    Theo was being mean to Lucia and Elena.
[05:11] Ferdinand
    I realize that I'm imposing
    with such a notion,
[05:14] Ferdinand
    but I really would like it
    if you could all get along.
[05:18] Elena
    That's what we want, too!
[05:23] Clara
    When you get into a fight,
    you must make up afterward.
[05:27] Clara
    Understand?
[05:29] Lucia
    Yeah, we understand!
[05:30] Elena
    Everybody has to get along!
[05:35] Clara
    Young Masters Theodore and Angelico,
    that applies to you as well.
[05:38] Clara
    You need to apologize to each other.
[05:42] Angelico
    I'm sorry.
[05:45] Clara
    Master Theodore?
[05:47] Bear
    Go on. Better hurry up an apologize.
[05:51] Theodore
    No. I'm not sorry.
[05:54] Kitty
    Even though you know you did something wrong?
[05:57] Theodore
    I did nothing wrong.
[05:59] Bunny
    But you want to get along
    with everyone, don't you?
[06:02] Theodore
    I don't need to get along
    with a bunch of children.
[06:06] Rat
    What are you talking about, Theo?
[06:08] Rat
    You're a kid too, y'know.
[06:11] Theodore
    No, no, no!
[06:13] Theodore
    I am not a child! Go away! Stop bothering me!
[06:18] Clara
    What's wrong? There's no one there.
[06:22] Clara
    Master Theodore?
[06:24] Kate
    From the sound of it,
[06:25] Kate
    he's experiencing cocoon
    phase hallucinations.
[06:29] Clara
    You're...
[06:30] Twins
    Mama!
[06:31] Kaite
    Pardon me.
[06:32] Kaite
    I rang the bell, but there was no response.
[06:36] Kaite
    I'm Kate Lorca with the Vlad Agency.
[06:41] Kaite
    Lucia and Elena's mother.
[06:43] Clara
    Then you're Master Henrique's...
[06:45] Elena
    Yep, she's our mama!
[06:48] Lucia
    Our mama and papa have
    a "political marriage"!
[06:52] Kate
    You needn't share that bit.
[06:54] Twins
    Okay!
[06:55] Albrecht
    And I am Master Theodore's mother.
[07:00] Albrecht
    To be precise, his surrogate mother.
[07:02] Albrecht
    My name is Albrecht. I serve
     as a butler to the Classicos.
[07:06] Albrecht
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[07:11] Ferdinand
    You described what happened as
    cocoon phase hallucinations...
[07:15] Clara
    Master Theodore has only just turned seven.
[07:19] Clara
    That shouldn't be possible.
[07:21] Kate
    There have been other cases in the past.
[07:22] Kate
    I believe the boy is experiencing
    a premature cocoon phase.
[07:26] Kate
    Normally, cocoon phase symptoms
    begin manifesting during puberty,
[07:30] Kate
    roughly around the age
    of thirteen to fourteen.
[07:33] Kate
    Vamps in their cocoon phase can experience
    hallucinations, both auditory and visual,
[07:39] Kate
    along with delusions, jealousy,
    and severe mood swings.
[07:46] Kate
    This intensely unstable state
     is why we send them
[07:48] Kate
    to the Clan for monitoring.
[07:50] Kate
    And, on rare occasion,
[07:52] Kate
    a child may reach their cocoon phase
     at an even earlier age.
[07:56] Clara
    What could cause such a thing?
[08:01] Angelico
    I have to pee...
[08:03] Theodore
    You should go by yourself.
    You're not a child.
[08:08] Albrecht
    I believe the young master is desperate
    to grow up as quickly as possible.
[08:13] Albrecht
    Likely because Master Dino
    has expressed a wish for him
[08:17] Albrecht
    to become the next head of the family.
[08:19] Albrecht
    It could be that
[08:21] Albrecht
    those sentiments have been weighing
    on the young master all this time.
[08:25] Clara
    All when he's still so young...
[08:27] Albrecht
    Such is the fate of those born
     into noble houses.
[08:31] Albrecht
    That said, their family has more
    than their fair share of problems.
[08:35] Albrecht
    Which is why I try to act
    as a surrogate mother...
[08:37] Kate
    I don't intend on criticizing
    someone else's familial matters.
[08:41] Kate
    I'm only here to take my girls home.
[08:45] Ferdinand
    How did you know where to find us?
[08:48] Kate
    Our top brass has issued an order for
    all members of the Vlad Agency
[08:53] Kate
    to go into hiding at locations
    apart from their homes.
[08:57] Kate
    And my husband insisted on having our
    children shelter at the so-called "nursery."
[09:03] Kate
    I had my men look into where that might be
    in order to figure out what he's up to.
[09:07] Albrecht
    That's quite a coincidence. I've actually
    been following my employer in secret as well.
[09:12] Albrecht
    Out of concern for the young master...
[09:14] Kate
    All this because of Sir Dali's
     ridiculous joke...
[09:18] Kate
    Frankly, it's a nuisance.
[09:24] Dali
    Listen, Raphael.
[09:26] Dali
    You're the only brother that Ul has.
[09:30] Raphael
    I never asked to be a big brother.
[09:37] Angelico
    Raphael? Where are you going?
[09:40] Raphael
    To get rid of him.
[09:42] Theodore
    Get rid of him?
[09:45] Angelico
    Raphael! You can't get rid of Ul!
[09:49] Elena
    He's getting rid of Ul?
[09:52] Lucia
    I don't like the sound of that...
[09:55] Elena
    Hey, Theodore, you should stop Raphael!
[09:59] Lucia
    I'd feel bad for Ul if
    someone got rid of him!
[10:02] Theodore
    Why are you telling me? Tell an adult.
[10:06] Elena
    But you said you weren't a child, Theodore!
[10:09] Lucia
    If you're not a kid,
    that makes you an adult.
[10:12] Elena
    Come on! If you're so grown up,
    you need to stop Raphael!
[10:17] Lucia
    Please!
[10:18] Bear
    Just say no. You're a kid.
    This is too much for you.
[10:22] Bunny
    Better go find an adult.
[10:25] Theodore
    Damn it!
[10:27] Elena
    We should go too!
[10:28] Lucia
    Yeah!
[10:31] Kate
    Now then, I shall be taking
    Elena and Lucia home.
[10:35] Albrecht
    Indeed, I'll also be taking Master
    Theodore off your hands.
[10:40] Clara
    I'm afraid I can't allow that.
[10:42] Clara
    My employer has tasked me
[10:44] Clara
    with minding the children here
    at the nursery in his absence.
[10:48] Clara
    If the entire Vlad Agency is now
    being targeted by some group of rogues,
[10:55] Clara
    doesn't that make it safest here?
[10:59] Kate
    I'm sure you think so.
[11:01] Clara
    My master is Dali Delico.
[11:03] Clara
    I cannot allow these children to leave
    without his express permission.
[11:10] Albrecht
    This is quite the pickle...
[11:12] Kate
    I can see I'm not getting anywhere with you.
[11:15] Kate
    I want to speak to Sir Dali directly.
[11:17] Clara
    Then you'll be staying
     until the master returns.
[11:21] Kate
    Yes, I suppose I will.
[11:24] Clara
    In that case, why not join us for a meal?
[11:28] Clara
    I can warm up some stew right away.
[11:33] Clara
    Now, I'm sure you're all hungry.
[11:36] Clara
    Let's all head to the table...
[11:40] Ferdinand
    Clara, we have a problem!
[11:42] Ferdinand
    I can't find Ul.
[11:46] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[11:52] Clara
    I am so sorry!
[11:54] Clara
    If I hadn't taken my eyes off the children...
[11:57] Kate
    No, this isn't your fault, Mrs. Clara.
[12:00] Abrecht
    Indeed, considering we dropped by unannounced.
[12:03] Henrique
    It's nobody's fault. You don't
    have to beat yourselves up.
[12:07] Dino
    If Theodore is with them,
    then that's some relief.
[12:10] Dino
    My boy is quite clever.
[12:12] Albrect
    Sir, about that...
[12:15] Kate
    Sir Dino.
[12:17] Kate
    I believe that your son is undergoing
    a premature cocoon phase.
[12:21] Dino
    What?
[12:23] Kate
    We've seen he's suffering
    from auditory and visual hallucinations.
[12:26] Dino
    He's in his cocoon phase?
[12:30] Dino
    Theodore is nowhere near
    old enough for that.
[12:33] Albrecht
    I believe the young master is desperate
    to live up to your expectations, sir.
[12:37] Albrecht
    To grow up as soon as possible
    and become a proper aristocrat.
[12:42] Kate
    And you're the one who pressured
    such a young boy to this point, Sir Dino.
[12:48] Henrique
    Now, now...
[12:50] Gerhard
    This is no time for bickering.
[12:52] Gerhard
    We need to bring the children back posthaste.
[12:54] Gerhard
    I'll contact the Police of the Blood
     for assistance.
[13:02] Lucia
    Where are we going?
[13:04] Elena
    Let's go home already.
[13:05] Raphael
    Leave me alone.
    I didn't ask you to come along.
[13:11] Theodore
    We obviously can't do that with you
    talking about getting rid of Ul.
[13:14] Raphael
    I wouldn't really do that...
[13:17] Theodore
    Huh?
[13:18] Angelico
    I see! I'm so glad!
[13:24] Theodore
    Then where are you taking him?
[13:29] Angelico
    Raphael?
[13:31] Raphael
    I thought if Ul was gone...
[13:33] Raphael
    that my father would be upset.
[13:35] Theodore
    What are you on about?
[13:37] Angelico
    So you took Ul away to upset your father?
[13:41] Raphael
    Because he only pays attention to Ul.
[13:45] Raphael
    I want him to play with me too.
[13:48] Elena
    That's what you wanted, Raphael?
[13:52] Angelico
    I want that too.
[13:53] Lucia
    I always love it when my papa plays with me!
[13:57] Theodore
    Unbelievable. They're all on the same page.
[14:01] Theodore
    Fine. I get it.
[14:02] Theodore
    Let's really cause some
     trouble for our fathers.
[14:06] Elena
    Even yours, Theodore?
[14:07] Lucia
    Let's join in!
[14:10] Theodore
    So, where are we going?
[14:13] Raphael
    To Grandpa's...
[14:15] Theodore
    Grandpa?
[14:16] Raphael
    He always comes by the house...
[14:18] Lucia
    Oh, that fancy-pants old man!
[14:22] Elena
    I think his name is Johannes.
[14:24] Theodore
    Why would you want to see Lord Johannes?
[14:26] Raphael
    Grandpa is more important than Father,
     so he can scold him.
[14:32] Angelico
    Oh, that's a good idea!
[14:34] Lucia
    But do you know where Grandpa's house is?
[14:37] Raphael
    I don't.
[14:40] Theodore
    Actually...
[14:41] Theodore
    Where are we, anyway?
[14:45] Townie A
    Man, what a fancy-looking pack of brats.
[14:48] Townie C
    What're you doin' here?
[14:51] Theodore
    Who are you lot?
[14:53] Townie B
    "You lot," he says!
[14:56] Townie D
    With a stuck-up attitude like that,
    they be some aristocrats' kids.
[15:00] Elena
    And what if we are?!
[15:01] Lucia
    Go away!
[15:03] Townie B
    You're in Gray Cat Town, see?
[15:05] Townie B
    We call it that 'cause even
     the prettiest white kitty
[15:08] Townie B
    would turn grimy gray
    after a stroll in these parts.
[15:12] Theodore
    Let's go.
[15:14] Townie D
    Whoa there. Not so fast.
[15:16] Townie D
    I bet we can get a nice
    ransom from your parents.
[15:19] Townie A
    This is a great chance
    to teach you kids what you get
[15:22] Townie A
    for waltzing into a place like this.
[15:24] Lucia
    Theodore...
[15:25] Theodore
    I'll take care of these thugs myself!
[15:29] Townie A
    I'd like to see you try, you little twerp!
[15:34] Kiki
    What the hell is wrong with you guys?
[15:36] Townie C
    Who is she?!
[15:37] Townie D
    Go on, get her!
[15:40] Townie B
    Damn it!
[15:41] Townie C
    Take this!
[15:43] Townie D
    Again?!
[15:45] Kiki
    Do you boys need a little more love?
[15:51] Townie D
    She's a monster!
[15:54] Kiki
    What a rude bunch, calling a lady a monster.
[15:57] Kiki
    I shouldn't have bothered
    taking it easy on them.
[16:02] Kiki
    Oh, you're adorable!
     What a sweet bunch of babies!
[16:07] Kiki
    C'mere, c'mere! Just look at them, Abraham!
[16:10] Theodore
    Um... thank you for your help.
[16:13] Kiki
    Aw, no need to thank me
    for taking out trash like that.
[16:15] Kiki
    It was a piece of cake.
[16:18] Elena
    You're so strong, miss!
[16:22] Kiki
    Actually, I'm the strongest!
    And second after me is Abraham over there.
[16:28] Lucia
    You're stronger than that big guy?
[16:32] Kiki
    Now, it's dangerous around these parts,
    so you kids should stay away. You hear me?
[16:37] Twins
    Yes!
[16:39] Theodore
    Let's go.
[16:42] Elena
    Bye-bye!
[16:43] Lucia
    See you!
[16:44] Lucia
    Thanks, miss!
[16:48] Kiki
    Something about those kids...
[16:54] Lucia
    Hey, are we at Grandpa's house yet?
[16:56] Elena
    Where even is it?
[16:59] Angelico
    Listen, if we don't know,
    then we should go back.
[17:02] Theodore
    Yeah.
[17:05] Raphael
    I don't want to go home.
[17:06] Theodore
    You say that, but what
    else are we going to do?
[17:09] Elena
    I'm tired.
[17:11] Lucia
    And hungry.
[17:14] Angelico
    Come on, Raphael.
[17:17] Angelico
    Raphael, let's go home!
[17:27] Lucia
    Ul's crying...
[17:45] Woman
    What are you kids doing out here?
     Where are your parents?
[17:49] Kiki
    Good grief!
[17:50] Kiki
    I figured I should keep an eye on you,
     and wouldn't you know it?
[17:54] Elena
    Miss!
[17:56] Kiki
    Yeah, okay, put a lid on it!
[17:57] Kiki
    How long are you gonna cry?
[17:59] Kiki
    Unbelievable... What are you doing,
    just wandering the streets at night?
[18:03] Kiki
    Are you trying to go somewhere?
[18:05] Raphael
    Grandpa's house...
[18:08] Kiki
    Grandpa?
[18:09] Kiki
    Who's your grandpa?
[18:13] Kiki
    Well, I sure didn't expect
    it to be Johannes Vlad...
[18:18] Raphael
    Hey, is this Grandpa's house?
[18:21] Kiki
    Yep, that's right.
[18:23] Kiki
    Never thought the intel we had Maurice
    swipe would prove useful in this fashion.
[18:28] Angelico
    Huh? What'd you say?
[18:30] Kiki
    None of your business.
[18:36] Raphael
    Excuse me. I'm here to see Grandpa.
[18:39] Guard A
    Grandpa?
[18:40] Guard B
    Who are you kids?
[18:42] Raphael
    Um, my name is Raphael Delico.
[18:46] Raphael
    Please, let me see Grandpa.
[18:49] Guard B
    Wait, Delico as in...
[18:52] Guard A
    Sir Dali's son?!
[18:53] Guard B
    Hey, inform Lord Johannes at once!
[18:57] Guard A
    Right!
[18:59] Angelico
    I'm so glad we were able
    to find Grandpa's house.
[19:03] Elena
    We had better thank that nice lady.
[19:06] Elena
    Huh?
[19:06] Lucia
    Miss?
[19:12] Kiki
    I was panicking there...
[19:13] Kiki
    I never dreamed that was Dali Delico's kid.
[19:16] Kiki
    Not a problem, though. I was able
    to confirm the target for our next raid.
[19:21] Kiki
    Those kids might come in handy...
[19:24] Kiki
    Abraham! Go let Keith
    and the others know about this.
[19:33] Lucia
    That's yummy.
[19:34] Elena
    Yeah, it really is.
[19:38] Angelico
    Raphael, don't you want some?
[19:42] Johannes
    Well? Are you feeling a little better?
[19:45] Theodore
    Sorry about this, Lord Johannes.
    I know it's late.
[19:48] Johannes
    It was quite a surprise for you children
     to show up all on your own.
[19:53] Angelico
    We were almost kidnapped by some
    bad people on the way here!
[19:56] Twins
    Yeah!
[19:57] Johannes
    Oh? Bad people, you say?
[19:59] Elena
    But a nice lady saved us!
[20:02] Lucia
    She was super strong!
[20:04] Elena
    Yeah!
[20:05] Elena
    I want to see her do that again.
[20:08] Johannes
    I don't think so. If something happened
    to you all, your parents would be upset.
[20:13] Johannes
    I'm sure you don't want to see your
    mothers and fathers sad, do you?
[20:16] Lucia
    Yeah.
[20:18] Elena
    I like it best when papa
    and mama are smiling!
[20:22] Johannes
    Then promise me you won't ever do this again.
[20:26] Lucia
    Yeah!
[20:27] Elena
    We promise!
[20:28] Johannes
    I've had a messenger inform your
    parents that you're here.
[20:33] Johannes
    I'm sure they'll be by to get you shortly.
[20:35] Angelico
    Father might be mad at me...
[20:46] Henrique
    I never dreamed the kids would drop by
     Lord Johannes's place on their own.
[20:51] Dino
    They made quite the journey.
[20:54] Gerhard
    I'm just relieved they aren't hurt.
[20:59] Gerhard
    What's wrong, Dali?
[21:01] Dali
    Oh, nothing.
[21:02] Dali
    Just that balancing the mission and parenting
    is proving harder than I imagined.
[21:08] Henrique
    Of all the things to say...
[21:10] Dino
    You've based your entire persona around
    managing to deliver the impossible.
[21:14] Dino
    Stand firm.
[21:16] Dali
    It makes me wonder how much I really
    understand my own children...
[21:21] Dali
    I'm a sad excuse for a father.
[21:23] Gerhard
    The same could be said for me.
[21:25] Dino
    Likewise, I'm afraid.
[21:27] Henrique
    It's okay, though. The kids will grow,
    and we'll grow as parents alongside them.
[21:34] Dali
    Yes, you're right.
[21:36] Dali
    Let's take the children back to the
    nursery and be good to them.

[00:01] Henrique
    Hey there, folks! Henrique Lorca here.
[00:05] Henrique
    Using Dali-boy's childcare
     journal as reference,
[00:08] Henrique
    we're going to review the first 
    six episodes of Delico's Nursery today
[00:13] Henrique
    to see how we've balanced
    our jobs with child-rearing.
[00:18] Henrique
    Make sure you watch to the end!
[00:25] Henrique
    It all starts with the guy you see
    disembarking here, Dali-boy, aka Dali Delico.
[00:30] Henrique
    The blond with the curls next to him
    is his colleague Gerhard Fra.
[00:36] Henrique
    We're vampire nobility.
[00:39] Henrique
    And we work for an agency under a
    group known as the Blood Pact Council.
[00:44] Henrique
    A very important Vamp from the 
    Blood Pact Council, Johannes,
[00:48] Henrique
    tasked us with investigating a recent rash
    of murders happening all over, but...
[00:56] (Flashback) Johannes
    I'd like the two of you
    to head up the investigation into—
[00:59] (Flashback) Dali
    I refuse, sir.
[01:01] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Wha...
[01:02] (Flashback) Dali
    I must humbly decline this assignment.
[01:06] (Flashback) Dali
    Excuse me.
[01:10] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Stop!
[01:11] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Get back here, Dali!
[01:15] Henrique
    Dali went and turned the mission down.
[01:19] Henrique
    But if he walked, just who was supposed
     to head up the investigation?
[01:23] Henrique
    Quite a pickle, huh?
[01:26] (Flashback) Johannes
    Yes...
[01:27] Henrique
    At the time, we weren't sure
    why Dali-boy refused the case,
[01:30] Henrique
    so the task force consisting of me,
    this sickly-looking guy named Dino Classico,
[01:36] Henrique
    and Gerhard went to pay
    Dali-boy a visit at his estate.
[01:41] (Flashback) Ferdinand
    No matter the state you may find him in,
[01:47] (Flashback) Ferdinand
    I ask that you contain your surprise.
[01:51] (Flashback) Gerhard
    We're coming in!
[01:59] (Flashback) Dali
    Stop crying!
[02:01] (Flashback) Dali
    I told you to stop it!
[02:05] Dali
    Enough! Hold still!
[02:05] (Flashback) Henrique
    What's going on here?
[02:09] Dali
    Children do cry so very much.
[02:11] Henrique
    The reason Dali turned the mission down
[02:14] Dali
    The way their tiny bodies seem to have
    endless strength to keep crying...
[02:14] Henrique
    was because he wanted to focus on
    raising his two sons, Ul and Raphael.
[02:19] Dali
    It's honestly dreadful.
[02:21] (Flashback) Dali
    There we go.
[02:26] (Flashback) Dali
    I knew you were hungry!
[02:29] (Flashback) Dali
    So, there you have it.
[02:31] (Flashback) Dali
    I appreciate you gentlemen
    coming all the way out here,
[02:35] (Flashback) Dali
    but, as I told Lord Johannes,
    I have my hands full with my children.
[02:41] (Flashback) Gerhard
    I won't stand for this.
[02:43] (Flashback) Gerhard
    A man like you cannot simply resolve
    himself to obscurity like that!
[02:48] (Flashback) Dali
    Nothing you say will change my mind.
    I don't intend on returning to my duties.
[02:52] (Flashback) Gerhard
    You will be leading our
    investigation on this case.
[02:56] (Flashback) Dali
    I just told you, I have my hands full with—
[02:59] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Then take care of both!
[03:01] (Flashback) Dali
    Balancing my children and my mission...
    What a ridiculous request.
[03:06] (Flashback) Dali
    Very well. Consider your proposal accepted.
[03:12] (Flashback) Dali
    With stipulations, of course.
[03:14] (Flashback) Gerhard
    What stipulations?
[03:20] (Flashback) Angelico
    She took my toy!
[03:22] (Flashback) Lucia
    I did not!
[03:23] (Flashback) Raphael
    Wait!
[03:24] (Flashback) Angelico
    You did! I saw you!
[03:26] Lucia
    I told you, I'm just borrowing it!
[03:29] (Flashback) Henrique
    So he wants us all to balance
    child-rearing with the job, huh?
[03:34] (Flashback) Dino
    Those were his terms...
[03:36] (Flashback) Dino
    as lamentable as they may be!
[03:39] (Flashback) Henrique
    Is this even doable?
[03:42] (Flashback) Angelico
    Father, my toy!
[03:45] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Get it back yourself!
[03:48] Henrique
    Gerhard... I'm not sure that's the
    best tone to take with a child.
[03:55] Henrique
    Anyway, as weird as it was, we started looking
    after my darling daughters, Lucia and Elena,
[04:00] Henrique
    Gerhard's son, Angelico,
[04:03] Henrique
    and Dino's son, Theodore,
    all at the Delico manor.
[04:12] (Flashback) Gerhard
    This is a nightmare.
[04:14] (Flashback) Johannes
    Honestly, this place seems more like a nursery
    than the headquarters of an investigation.
[04:18] (Flashback) Dali
    Brilliant! Then that's what we'll
    call our base for this operation.
[04:25] (Flashback) Dali
    It's code name shall be... the nursery!
[04:36] (Flashback) Angelico
    Raphael's crying...
[04:49] Henrique
    And so that's how we came to attempt
[04:51] Henrique
    balancing our work with our children.
[04:54] Henrique
    While the kids were manageable,
[04:55] Henrique
    we made absolutely no progress
    with the investigation...
[04:57] Dali
    Fixing their food is part of raising them.
[05:00] Henrique
    That's when Dali-boy told us
    about his history with Pendulum
[05:05] Henrique
    and the disaster of the Grand Guignol.
[05:09] (Flashback) Dali
    We're currently playing defense.
[05:11] (Flashback) Dali
    Officers are being stationed,
    but for now, all we can do is wait.
[05:17] (Flashback) Henrique
    "All is done in the TRUMP's name."
[05:20] (Flashback) Henrique
    "That is Pendulum's way."
[05:24] (Flashback) Dali
    Pendulum is one of Vamp society's
    preeminent criminal organizations.
[05:28] (Flashback) Dali
    They gave Gerhard and I a rather hard
    time back in our inquisitor days.
[05:33] (Flashback) Dino
    An organization that worships
    the god of vampires, the TRUE OF VAMP,
[05:37] (Flashback) Dino
    whilst operating all manner
    of criminal enterprises...
[05:41] (Flashback) Dino
    If these killings are also their doing,
     what's their actual objective?
[05:47] (Flashback) Gerhard
    A Grand Guignol.
[05:49] (Flashback) Gerhard
    The ritual for presenting TRUMP,
    who is immortal and undying,
[05:55] (Flashback) Gerhard
    with a display of death.
[05:57] (Flashback) Dali
    All Vamps are said to be
    mentally linked to TRUMP.
[06:03] (Flashback) Dali
    The Grand Guignol was conceived as a way
    to provide a deathlike experience
[06:08] (Flashback) Dali
    to the undying TRUE OF VAMP.
[06:10] (Flashback) Henrique
    They're providing death?
[06:12] (Flashback) Dino
    Let me be blunt.
[06:15] (Flashback) Dino
    There's clearly something of significance
     between you and Pendulum.
[06:19] (Flashback) Dali
    There is—considering I, Dali Delico,
    was once the target of a Grand Guignol.
[06:26] (Flashback) Dali
    I had been hunting down a certain individual.
[06:30] (Flashback) Dali
    His name was Barlach Bell.
    Vamps enrolled at the Clan
[06:35] (Flashback) Dali
    upon entering their cocoon phases
    were disappearing one after the other.
[06:37] (Flashback) Dali
    He was thought to be the one responsible.
[06:40] (Flashback) Dino
    I'm familiar with the case.
[06:42] (Flashback) Dino
    Young boys and girls in their cocoon
    phases vanishing like that...
[06:45] (Flashback) Dino
    An utterly disturbing affair.
[06:48] (Flashback) Dino
    Barlach was imprisoning them to perform
    all manner of cruel experiments.
[06:53] (Flashback) Dino
    Experiments involving initiative.
[07:05] (Flashback) Dino
    Vamps who bite a victim gain
    absolute control over them.
[07:09] (Flashback) Dino
    It was a deranged study meant
     to explore the nature of Vamphood.
[07:14] (Flashback) Dino
    The boys and girls who were placed
    under initiative lost their free will,
[07:19] (Flashback) Dino
    and then, under Pendulum,
[07:21] (Flashback) Dino
    were subject to even more depraved
     experiments before being cast aside.
[07:28] Barlach
    And now, it's showtime!
[07:31] (Flashback) Dino
    Barlach took his underlings
    and all the cocoon phase Vamps
[07:38] (Flashback) Dino
    he was controlling via initiative...
[07:39] (Flashback) Dino
    and launched an assault on my estate.
[07:43] Dino
    Find somewhere to hide.
[07:56] (Flashback) Dino
    And then...
[08:00] (Flashback) Dino
    One of them gained initiative over Frida.
[08:05] (Flashback) Dino
    She was given the order...
[08:09] (Flashback) Dino
    to kill those she loved.
[08:13] (Flashback) Dino
    Which is why...
[08:16] Dino
    Frida!
[08:19] (Flashback) Dino
    She tried to kill me.
[08:27] Dino
    Frida! Frida!
[08:31] Gerhard
    Forgive me, Dali...
[08:34] Gerhard
    But I cannot allow you to die!
[08:38] (Flashback) Henrique
    I think Dali-boy's big idea is to love
    his boys on behalf of the wife he lost.
[08:45] (Flashback) Dino
    Could you not spout such
    revolting notions so casually?
[08:49] (Flashback) Gerhard
    This is a curse...
[08:57] (Flashback) Dino
    Listen well, Ul.
[08:59] (Flashback) Dino
    You'll enter your cocoon phase someday.
[09:02] (Flashback) Dino
    All Vamps do once they're old enough.
[09:05] (Flashback) Dino
    When it happens,
     you'll go somewhere called the Clan.
[09:10] (Flashback) Dino
    And while there, I'm sure you're going
     to make irreplaceable comrades.
[09:14] (Flashback) Dino
    You'll laugh with them, quarrel
    with them, compete with them...
[09:19] (Flashback) Dino
    And before long, you'll be all grown—
[09:27] (Flashback) Dino
    Gracious...
[09:28] (Flashback) Dino
    This certainly isn't good.
[09:43] Henrique
    You gotta admit... falling off a balcony?
[09:48] Henrique
    Dali-boy was clearly pushing himself too hard.
[09:51] Henrique
    Everyone was worried sick.
[09:55] Henrique
    It wouldn't kill him to rely on the
    people around him some, y'know?
[09:59] Henrique
    We'd managed to learn a thing
    or two ourselves, after all.
[10:11] (Flashback) Dali
    Frida?
[10:14] (Flashback) Frida
    Woke you, did I?
[10:17] (Flashback) Frida
    I entrusted the boys to you.
[10:22] (Flashback) Dali
    Frida...
[10:23] (Flashback) Frida
    I'm sorry I can't be there with you.
[10:26] (Flashback) Frida
    But, please, don't carry this burden alone.
[10:32] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Good, good!
[10:33] (Flashback) Elena
    Come on! Go faster!
[10:36] Lucia
    Yeah, faster!
[10:36] (Flashback) Dali
    What is this?
[10:38] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Sir Dali.
[10:40] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Why're you standing there in a daze?
[10:42] (Flashback) Henrique
    You're the one who told us to balance
    the mission with the kids, right?
[10:47] (Flashback) Dino
    And as reluctant as I may be,
[10:49] (Flashback) Dino
    we have been doing exactly that.
[10:52] (Flashback) Gerhard
    You're the leader of this team, are you not?
[10:55] (Flashback) Gerhard
    It's only natural that we carry out
     the agenda you've set for us.
[10:58] (Flashback) Henrique
    Once it's taken care of,
    I'll play with you a bunch.
[11:01] (Flashback) Lucia
    Yay!
[11:03] (Flashback) Elena
    Take care of it fast, then!
[11:04] (Flashback) Angelico
    It's no fair if only Lucia
    and Elena get to play!
[11:08] (Flashback) Raphael
    I...
[11:09] (Flashback) Dali
    You'll play too, won't you, Gerhard?
[11:13] (Flashback) Dali
    Entertaining children is
    part of raising them.
[11:15] (Flashback) Dali
    Which makes it part of this task.
[11:18] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Very well! In the name of House Fra,
     I will play to my utmost!
[11:25] Henrique
    At the time, Dali seemed to be doing better,
[11:28] Henrique
    and it looked like watching the kids
    was going to be go a little smoother...
[11:32] Henrique
    But it's never that simple, is it?
[11:32] Mouse
    You should go with them.
[11:34] Bear
    You wanna play too, don't you?
[11:37] (Flashback) Theodore
    I've had enough of you. Just go away.
[11:40] Henrique
    Looking back now,
[11:40] Henrique
    that was when Theodore and Raphael
     first started acting strangely.
[11:45] (Flashback) Dali
    I'll read any book you'd like.
[11:48] (Flashback) Raphael
    No!
[11:51] (Flashback) Dali
    Then we can play tag in the garden—
[11:53] (Flashback) Raphael
    No! Don't wanna!
[11:55] (Flashback) Dali
    What are you so upset about?
    You're Ul's big brother.
[11:59] (Flashback) Raphael
    No!
[12:09] (Flashback) Dali
    All right, Raphael! Apologize to Ul!
[12:12] (Flashback) Raphael
    No! I'm not sorry!
[12:14] (Flashback) Dali
    You made him cry!
[12:17] (Flashback) Dali
    Now apologize!
[12:18] (Flashback) Raphael
    I don't want to!
[12:19] (Flashback) Dali
    That's quite enough!
[12:20] (Flashback) Raphael
    I wish Ul was dead!
[12:35] (Flashback) Theodore
    I have to be a proper
    aristocrat like my father.
[12:44] Henrique
    Now that I think about it, we should've been
    just as worried about Pendulum,
[12:48] Henrique
    the criminal organization
     behind the Vamp killings.
[12:50] (Flashback) Keith
    This will never end...!
[12:53] (Flashback) Keith
    An eternal cocoon phase!
[12:55] Henrique
    They were using initiative to gain
    intel about our agency from an insider.
[13:01] Henrique
    Dali-boy came up with the idea
    to use that against them.
[13:04] (Flashback) Dali
    Lord Johannes Vlad will retire to his estate,
[13:09] (Flashback) Dali
    acting as the bait we'll use
     to lure out our quarry.
[13:14] Henrique
    The thing is... the Vlad Agency's
    second-in-command,
[13:18] Henrique
    Lord Umberto, didn't heed
     the order to go into hiding.
[13:22] Henrique
    So we had to go and convince him...
[13:24] (Flashback) Umberto
    You two have inherited the
    honor of your fathers.
[13:28] Henrique
    This led to us finally facing off
    against Pendulum,
[13:32] Henrique
    and they were pretty tough.
[13:39] (Flashback) Dino
    Of course. Sleeping gas.
[13:47] (Flashback) Kiki
    Ugh, what'd you have to dodge for?!
[13:53] (Flashback) Henrique
    Dino!
[14:00] (Flashback) Kiki
    So Catarina's gas didn't get you?
[14:02] (Flashback) Kiki
    I'm actually impressed!
[14:05] (Flashback) Dali
    Pardon me.
[14:09] (Flashback) Catarina
    Oh my, are we interrupting?
[14:12] (Flashback) Dali
    Oh, hardly. I was hoping you'd all drop by.
[14:18] (Flashback) Catarina
    I'm not sensing a lot of restraint.
[14:20] (Flashback) Dali
    I could say the same of you. I won't
    fault you for going easy, you realize?
[14:28] (Flashback) Dali
    This reminds me of our
    fencing lessons at the Clan.
[14:31] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Save the reminiscing for later!
[14:35] (Flashback) Kiki
    You're not done yet? Can't we
    wrap this up and go home already?
[14:40] (Flashback) Kiki
    We meet again, Dali Delico.
[14:43] (Flashback) Catarina
    You're acquainted?
[14:45] (Flashback) Gerhard
    When the Delico estate was attacked,
[14:47] (Flashback) Gerhard
    there was a report of one Vamp
    seen escaping the scene.
[14:52] (Flashback) Gerhard
    That must have been you.
[14:54] (Flashback) Dali
    If you're here, that only confirms
    this is Pendulum's doing.
[15:00] (Flashback) Kiki
    And what if it is?
[15:03] (Flashback) Dali
    This case had been perplexing
    enough to frustrate me,
[15:07] (Flashback) Dali
    but I daresay I feel relieved now.
[15:10] (Flashback) Dali
    And now, it's time for the purge.
[15:14] (Flashback) Kiki
    I hope you realize which
    of us is getting purged!
[15:24] (Flashback) Henrique
    What in the world?
[15:25] (Flashback) Keith
    Hey there, fellas.
[15:28] (Flashback) Juras
    It seems we've secured
    checkmate in this game.
[15:34] (Flashback) Catarina
    It's been fun, but looks like we win.
[15:38] (Flashback) Dino
    Hold it right there.
[15:40] (Flashback) Dino
    Release Lord Umberto at once.
[15:43] (Flashback) Henrique
    I have my doubts about them
    actually listening, to be honest.
[15:47] (Flashback) Keith
    You got that right.
[15:49] (Flashback) Keith
    The Vlad Agency's second-in-command,
    Umberto Lent,
[15:52] (Flashback) Keith
    is one of very few people
    with any info on the TRUE OF VAMP.
[15:57] (Flashback) Umberto
    Never forget a vampire's pride.
[16:03] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Lord Umberto?
[16:09] (Flashback) Keith
    Death before dishonor, huh?
[16:12] (Flashback) Kiki
    See what happens when you draw it out?
[16:16] (Flashback) Keith
    The intel on TRUMP hardly matters.
[16:18] (Flashback) Kiki
    Why are we even here, then?
[16:21] (Flashback) Keith
    I just wanna wreck everything...
[16:24] (Flashback) Keith
    And if the TRUE OF VAMP really does exist,
     I'll destroy TRUMP too!
[16:32] (Flashback) Keith
    An immortal, undying Vamp?
    I wonder what it'd take!
[16:43] (Flashback) Dali
    Lord Umberto executed his duty nobly.
[16:48] (Flashback) Dali
    Honor demands that we repay his sacrifice.
[16:54] Henrique
    While we were fighting Pendulum,
[16:57] Henrique
    the kids were evacuated to the
    home of Clara, Dali-boy's nanny.
[17:05] (Flashback) Theodore
    Honestly, you are such children!
[17:11] (Flashback) Elena
    Yeah, that's right.
[17:12] (Flashback) Lucia
    We're kids.
[17:15] (Flashback) Theodore
    It's far too noisy in here to read.
    I need you to pipe down.
[17:19] (Flashback) Elena
    Excuse me?!
[17:20] (Flashback) Lucia
    You don't have to get so mad.
[17:23] (Flashback) Lucia
    Great idea! You should play tag with us!
[17:27] (Flashback) Elena
    That is a great idea!
[17:38] (Flashback) Ferdinand
    Oh, Miss Elena... Are you all right?
[17:43] (Flashback) Angelico
    Apologize to Elena!
[17:45] (Flashback) Theodore
    Shut up.
[17:46] (Flashback) Angelico
    If you do something wrong,
    you need to apologize!
[17:50] (Flashback) Theodore
    I am not apologizing!
[17:51] (Flashback) Angelico
    Say you're sorry!
[17:53] (Flashback) Theodore
    Shut up! Get away from me!
[17:55] (Flashback) Angelico
    How dare you?!
[17:58] (Flashback) Angelico
    Apologize! Apologize!
[18:00] (Flashback) Ferdinand
    Young masters, please cease this!
[18:02] Angelico
    Apologize!
[18:04] (Flashback) Theodore
    You...!
[18:05] (Flashback) Clara
    That's quite enough.
[18:07] (Flashback) Clara
    What caused all this?
[18:10] (Flashback) Angelico
    Theo was being mean to Lucia and Elena.
[18:14] (Flashback) Clara
    When you get into a fight,
    you must make up afterward.
[18:19] Bear
    Go on. Better hurry up an apologize.
[18:23] (Flashback) Theodore
    No. I'm not sorry.
[18:26] Kitty
    Even though you know you did something wrong?
[18:29] (Flashback) Theodore
    I did nothing wrong.
[18:31] Bunny
    But you want to get along
    with everyone, don't you?
[18:34] (Flashback) Theodore
    I don't need to get along
    with a bunch of children.
[18:37] Rat
    What are you talking about, Theo?
[18:39] Henrique
    Most Vamps enter what's called a cocoon phase
     between the ages of thirteen and fourteen.
[18:40] Rat
    You're a kid too, y'know.
[18:42] Theodore
    No, no, no!
[18:44] Henrique
    It causes them to suffer hallucinations
    and wild mood swings,
[18:45] Theodore
    I am not a child! Go away! Stop bothering me!
[18:51] Henrique
    but Theodore appeared to be suffering
[18:53] Henrique
    the symptoms at just age seven.
[18:56] (Flashback) Kate
    I believe the boy is experiencing
    a premature cocoon phase.
[19:00] (Flashback) Kate
    On rare occasions,
[19:02] (Flashback) Kate
    a child may reach their cocoon phase
     at an even earlier age.
[19:06] (Flashback) Albrecht
    I believe the young master is desperate
    to grow up as quickly as possible.
[19:11] (Flashback) Dali
    Listen, Raphael.
[19:13] (Flashback) Dali
    You're the only brother that Ul has.
[19:17] (Flashback) Raphael
    I never asked to be a big brother.
[19:26] (Flashback) Lucia
    Where are we going?
[19:27] (Flashback) Elena
    Let's go home already.
[19:29] (Flashback) Raphael
    Leave me alone.
    I didn't ask you to come along.
[19:35] (Flashback) Theodore
    We obviously can't do that with you
    talking about getting rid of Ul.
[19:38] (Flashback) Raphael
    I wouldn't really do that...
[19:40] (Flashback) Theodore
    Then where are you taking him?
[19:45] (Flashback) Angelico
    Raphael?
[19:47] (Flashback) Raphael
    I thought if Ul was gone...
[19:49] (Flashback) Raphael
    that my father would be upset.
[19:52] (Flashback) Theodore
    Unbelievable. They're all on the same page.
[19:56] (Flashback) Theodore
    Fine. I get it.
[19:58] (Flashback) Theodore
    Let's really cause some trouble.
[19:59] (Flashback) Townie A
    Man, what a fancy-looking pack of brats.
[20:02] (Flashback) Townie
    What're you doin' here?
[20:05] (Flashback) Theodore
    Who are you lot?
[20:06] (Flashback) Townie
    "You lot," he says!
[20:10] Henrique
    Really, of all the places for them
     to wander into, Gray Cat Town?
[20:14] Henrique
    The girl who saved them
    must've been pretty tough.
[20:19] Henrique
    I'm just glad they were okay.
[20:23] (Flashback) Kiki
    Do you boys need a little more love?
[20:28] (Flashback) Townie D
    She's a monster!
[20:31] (Flashback) Elena
    You're so strong, miss!
[20:35] (Flashback) Kiki
    Well, I sure didn't expect
    your grandpa to be Johannes Vlad...
[20:39] (Flashback) Angelico
    I'm so glad we were able
    to find Grandpa's house.
[20:42] (Flashback) Elena
    We had better thank that nice lady.
[20:45] (Flashback) Elena
    Huh?
[20:46] (Flashback) Lucia
    Miss?
[20:48] (Flashback) Kiki
    I never dreamed that was Dali Delico's kid.
[20:51] (Flashback) Kiki
    Not a problem, though. I was able
    to confirm the target for our next raid.
[20:56] (Flashback) Kiki
    Those kids might come in handy...
[21:00] Henrique
    That's all for our child-rearing review!
[21:03] Henrique
    Same goes for raising the kids too,
[21:05] Henrique
    but I can't help wondering how our
[21:06] Henrique
    battle with Pendulum will turn out.
[21:09] Henrique
    Looks like the road to balancing
     our jobs with the children
[21:12] Henrique
    is going to be a long one yet...
[21:15] (Flashback) Dali
    It makes me wonder how much I really
    understand my own children...
[21:20] (Flashback) Dali
    I'm a sad excuse for a father.
[21:22] (Flashback) Gerhard
    The same could be said for me.
[21:24] (Flashback) Dino
    Likewise, I'm afraid.
[21:26] (Flashback) Henrique
    It's okay, though. The kids will grow,
    and we'll grow as parents alongside them.
[21:33] (Flashback) Dali
    Yes, you're right.
[21:35] (Flashback) Dali
    Let's take the children back to the
    nursery and be good to them.
[21:56] ?
    Are you okay?
[21:58] Juras
    No one can get in my way.
[22:00] Juras
    Not until I have vengeance on TRUMP.
[22:04] Johannes
    TRUMP? You actually believe
    in that old wives tale?
[22:08] Keith
    TRUMP can't die, right?!
[22:10] Juras?
    I will kill this immortal god.
[22:14] Sign
    Pendulum's unstoppable crime spree
[22:15] Kiki
    I... I just want to stay in my cocoon phase.
[22:20] Keith
    I'm gonna kill those kids one by one.
[22:23] Keith
    Right in front of you.
[22:25] Catalina

[22:48] Dali
    Sorry, but I can't die just yet.
[22:53] Dali
    Defending TRUMP is nothing short
    of defending the entire vampire race.
[22:57] Dino
    I swear upon my pride to crush them!
[23:00] Dali
    I noticed an odd member
    among Pendulum's ranks.
[23:04] Juras?
    Die!
[23:05] Raphael
    Stop!
[23:08] Henrique
    You think Pendulum is really
    gonna show up at the Clan?

    Listen, if we don't know,
    then we should go back.
[00:04] Raphael
    I don't want to go home.

    Raphael, let's go home!
[00:26] Kiki
    Good grief!

    I figured I should keep an eye on you,
     and wouldn't you know it?
[00:31] Elena
    Miss!
[00:33] Kiki
    Yeah, okay, put a lid on it!
[00:35] Kiki
    Unbelievable... What are you doing,
    just wandering the streets at night?
[00:41] Raphael
    Grandpa's house...
[00:44] Kiki
    Never thought the intel we had Maurice
    swipe would prove useful in this fashion.
[00:53] Raphael
    Excuse me. I'm here to see Grandpa.
[00:56] Guard B
    Who are you kids?
[00:59] Raphael
    Um, my name is Raphael Delico.
[01:02] Raphael
    Please, let me see Grandpa.
[01:06] Guard B
    Wait, Delico as in...
[01:08] Elena
    We had better thank that nice lady.
[01:11] Elena
    Huh?
[01:12] Lucia
    Miss?
[01:15] Henrique
    I never dreamed the kids would drop by
     Lord Johannes's place on their own.
[01:20] Gerhard
    I'm just relieved they aren't hurt.
[01:25] Gerhard
    What's wrong, Dali?
[01:27] Dali
    It makes me wonder how much I really
    understand my own children...
[01:32] Dali
    I'm a sad excuse for a father.
[01:33] Gerhard
    The same could be said for me.
[01:36] Dino
    Likewise, I'm afraid.
[01:38] Henrique
    It's okay, though. The kids will grow,
    and we'll grow as parents alongside them.
[01:44] Dali
    Yes, you're right.
[01:46] Dali
    Let's take the children back to the
    nursery and be especially kind to them.

[03:41] Johannes
    I suppose this is the nursery now.
[03:46] Johannes
    Your father is Sir Dino, correct?
[03:52] Johannes
    The Classico family is one of great prestige.
[03:55] Johannes
    You'll likely stand at its head one day.
[04:02] Johannes
    I'm curious... Have you had coffee before?
[04:05] Theodore
    N-No, sir.
[04:06] Johannes
    Well, would you care to give it a try?
[04:08] Theodore
    Y-Yes!
[04:28] Theodore
    It's bitter...
[04:30] Johannes
    Yes, indeed, I suppose it's not
    to a child's tastes.
[04:34] Theodore
    I'm not a child.
[04:39] Johannes
    I won't chastise you for trying to act older,
[04:41] Johannes
    but your childhood is something
    you only get to experience once.
[04:45] Johannes
    Once it's gone, you'll never
    have anything like it again.
[04:49] Johannes
    You'll be an adult soon enough,
    whether you like it or not.
[04:53] Johannes
    Which is why you should
    enjoy these youthful days.
[04:58] Bear
    What's with this geezer?
[05:00] Bunny
    He's got a point, though.
[05:03] Secretary
    My lord, someone has come
    to fetch the children.
[05:07] Johannes
    Oh, it sounds like Sir Dali and the others
    have arrived. Show them in!
[05:15] Johannes
    Who're you?!
[05:32] Henrique
    A fire?!
[05:33] Dino
    Where are the children?
[05:36] Gerhard
    Dali!
[05:37] Dino
    We're going too!
[05:44] Dali
    The Police of the Blood?
[05:53] Dali
    Unbelievable...
[05:55] Henrique
    Dino, are these guys...
[05:57] Dino
    Yes.
[05:58] Dino
    It seems they've all fallen
    under someone's initiative.
[06:08] Dali
    They're just being controlled!
    Don't kill them!
[06:12] Gerhard
    I know!
[06:13] Gerhard
    Dali, leave this to us!
[06:16] Dali
    Good luck!
[06:29] Catalina
    Hi!
[06:30] Catalina
    Didn't expect to run into you again so soon.
[06:34] Kiki
    I guess this is round two, then.
[06:40] Catalina
    He spews oil just as he strikes the flint.
[06:44] Catalina
    Not the neatest solution, but when it
    works, it results in full body burns!
[06:48] Kiki
    As for me... these are all I need!
[06:54] Catalina
    Come now, let's have some fun!
[06:58] Kiki
    Lemme show you some love too!
[07:16] Dali
    I appreciate you two being so kind
    as to clear a path for me.
[07:20] Dali
    Much obliged.
[07:23] Kiki
    I... I can't believe he got away.
[07:27] Kiki
    I am going to love the ever-living
     daylights out of you, Dali Delico!
[07:37] Keith
    Pretty sweet moves for
    someone your age, old-timer.
[07:40] Johannes
    I'll have you know I was
    quite formidable in my youth.
[08:03] Keith
    Wasting too much of our time...
[08:08] Raphael
    Father!
[08:10] Dali
    Hello, children. I've come to pick you up.
[08:27] Gerhard
    Fighting while holding back
    lethal force is quite a challenge.
[08:30] Dino
    We could always kill them.
[08:33] Henrique
    No way, man. They're just a bunch of officers
     being controlled with initiative.
[08:48] Henrique
    Kate?!
[08:49] Kate
    I'm here to assist!
[08:56] Albrecht
    Despite how I look, you'll find I'm
    familiar with some pankration.
[09:01] Kate
    Where's Sir Dali?
[09:02] Henrique
    He went for the kids.
[09:05] Kate
    We'll hold them off here.
[09:08] Kate
    You three, go after Sir Dali.
[09:10] Dino
    We'll take you up on that offer.
[09:13] Henrique
    We're counting on you.
[09:15] Henrique
    Man, I really have great taste
    in women. You're amazing.
[09:19] Kate
    Get moving already!
[09:22] Kate
    Try not to slow me down.
[09:24] Albrecht
    I'll do what I can.
[09:27] Albrecht
    Now, I suppose it's time for work.
[09:39] Keith
    Hurry up and end this.
[09:53] Juras
    Die!
[09:56] Raphael
    Stop!
[09:57] Raphael
    Get off of my father!
[09:59] Raphael
    You villain!
[10:02] Juras
    Little brat...
[10:03] Juras
    Move!
[10:05] Dali
    Raphael!
[10:06] Juras
    No one can get in my way.
[10:09] Juras
    Not until I have vengeance on TRUMP.
[10:11] Dali
    Vengeance?
[10:18] Keith
    What, you lose your mind?
[10:21] Dali
    It's the smell. It absolutely reeks.
[10:23] Dali
    Like the stench of a giant gutter rat.
[10:26] Dali
    You're a dhampir, aren't you?
[10:34] Dali
    Sorry, but I can't die just yet.
[10:40] Juras
    Damn you!
[10:46] Catalina
    Honestly, could we just walk
    around normally for once?
[10:48] Kiki
    This is way faster!
[10:52] Keith
    Tough break, Dali Delico...
    You're out of options.
[10:57] Dali
    You never know until you try.
[11:00] Catalina
    Is that right?
[11:03] Catalina
    There!
[11:05] Kiki
    You're done!
[11:11] Catalina
    I suppose it's time for the finale.
[11:20] Catalina
    Were you trying to break my nose?!
[11:25] Dali
    The masked one...
[11:27] Juras
    Right here!
[11:33] Juras
    I have you now, Dali Delico.

[12:17] Catalina
    Goodness, you must really hate losing.
[12:20] Juras
    Once we scoop out his heart,
    we won't have to hear any more banter.
[12:25] Keith
    Hey, I like the sound of that.
[12:29] Gerhard
    Dali!
[12:30] Henrique
    Dali-boy, can you stand?
[12:32] Dali
    Yeah.
[12:33] Keith
    We had a little too much fun.
    Fighting you people wasn't part of the plan.
[12:40] Catalina
    You'd best hurry up and take care of your
     darling Dali-boy before he bleeds out.
[12:47] Theodore
    Stop! Put us down!
[12:49] Theodore
    Let us go, you lout!
[12:51] Angelico
    Father!
[12:52] Elena
    What do you think you're doing?!
[12:54] Lucia
    Put us down!
[12:57] Gerhard
    What do you think you're doing?!
[12:59] Keith
    Oh, we just need their help a bit.
    Don't worry. We won't kill them.
[13:04] Keith
    Not right away, anyway.
[13:06] Dino
    You really think we'd let you get away?
[13:11] Keith
    See you next time, you proud bunch of nobles.
[13:15] Dino
    Damn you!
[13:22] Dino
    Theodore!
[13:24] Dali
    After them...
[13:26] Henrique
    Not you, Dali-boy.
    Not in the shape you're in.
[13:28] Dali
    I'm the one who got the children involved.
[13:31] Dali
    If I had never come up with the nursery,
    none of this would have happened.
[13:37] Gerhard
    You need to assess the situation calmly!
[13:40] Gerhard
    If something were to happen to you,
     Dali Delico, who would save the children?
[13:49] Kate
    Ruminating on what's done
    won't get us anywhere.
[13:52] Kate
    We need to reorient ourselves
    and consider our next steps.
[13:57] Albrecht
    I agree with that.
[14:04] Dali
    Ul!
[14:06] Gerhard
    Crying?
[14:07] Henrique
    He's still somewhere in here!
[14:30] Dali
    Hello, Ul. Boy, am I glad to see you well.
[14:54] Henrique
    How'd it go?
[14:56] Dino
    Well...
[14:57] Dino
    All of the officers who had been put
    under initiative are now hospitalized.
[15:04] Dino
    They've been given the usual treatment, but...
[15:08] Gerhard
    Once placed on someone,
    initiative cannot be removed.
[15:12] Dino
    Which is why all of the officers
    have been taken into custody.
[15:16] Henrique
    Man, I can't believe they
    managed to bite so many...
[15:20] Gerhard
    Their objective is to uncover
    the TRUE OF VAMP's whereabouts.
[15:24] Gerhard
    But in order to keep that from getting out,
     everyone in the Vlad Agency
[15:30] Gerhard
    is under Lord Johannes's initiative.
[15:34] Dino
    That explains why they went after
    Lord Johannes, the head of the agency himself.
[15:39] Henrique
    But why take the kids?
[15:41] Gerhard
    Most likely as hostages to force
    Lord Johannes into talking.
[15:47] Kate
    The fact that he's with the
    children is a small blessing.
[15:51] Kate
    He's known for his wit. He won't
    make things easy for the enemy.
[15:57] Dali
    I'm not so sure.
[15:59] Henrique
    Dali-boy!
[16:00] Dali
    Lord Johannes is part of the Vlad clan.
[16:03] Dali
    Their entire bloodline has been
    dedicated to protecting the TRUE OF VAMP.
[16:09] Dali
    And protecting TRUMP is tantamount
    to defending the entire vampire race.
[16:14] Dino
    Then it goes without saying
    which Lord Johannes would choose
[16:18] Dino
    between all of Vampkind
    and the children, doesn't it?
[16:23] Henrique
    We work for the Vlad Agency too, meaning
    we might have to make the same choice.
[16:29] Kate
    Henrique, are you...
[16:33] Henrique
    Not that I could make the call myself.
    I mean, they're our children.
[16:38] Henrique
    If it comes down to our kind or our kids,
     I'm picking Lucia and Elena.
[16:46] Dino
    I feel no need to reproach your outlook,
[16:49] Dino
    seeing as it will be a nonissue
    if we rescue the children in time.
[16:53] Gerhard
    Here's hoping Lord Johannes will
    be able to buy us some time.
[16:58] Dali
    We'll just have to have faith
[17:01] Dali
    However, there's a limit to how
    long he can afford us.
[17:05] Dali
    If forced to make a choice, Lord Johannes 
    will choose TRUMP over our children.
[17:16] Henrique
    Dali-boy sure is taking a while.
[17:18] Henrique
    Think he'll be much longer?
[17:28] Dali
    Look after him.
[17:29] Ferdinand
    We will ensure Master Ul's safety.
[17:32] Clara
    Even at the cost of our lives.
[17:34] Dali
    Don't say that. We shall return
     with the other children.
[17:39] Dali
    This child-raising experience has only begun.
[17:43] Dali
    And to that end,
    we'll continue to need your help.
[17:46] Clara
    Sir...
[17:53] Dali
    Clara, Ferdinand, we'll be back. Until then.
[17:58] Clara
    Right.
[18:00] Ferdinand
    Please take care, sir.
[18:10] Clara
    Yes, I'm sure your father will
    return with Master Raphael in tow.
[18:17] Clara
    Things will just be a bit lonely until then.
[18:27] Gerhard
    What is the purpose of returning to the
    Delico estate after all that's happened?
[18:31] Dali
    I'm curious about something.
[18:33] Henrique
    And what's that?
[18:35] Dali
    I noticed an odd member
    among Pendulum's ranks.
[18:40] Dino
    Spare me the intrigue.
    What are you talking about?
[18:45] Dali
    One of them smelled like a gutter rat.
[18:47] Henrique
    A gutter rat?
[18:49] Gerhard
    You mean a dhampir?
[18:50] Dino
    In other words, the offspring
     of a Vamp and a human.
[18:55] Dino
    Their blood is supposed
    to smell repugnant to vampires.
[19:00] Gerhard
    What difference does it make
    if there's a dhampir in Pendulum?
[19:05] Dali
    We've been unable to find a
    single trail leading to them.
[19:08] Dali
    But this might be the clue we need.
[19:23] Henrique
    A hidden stairway, huh?
[19:26] Dali
    Come along.
[19:30] Henrique
    This is kinda exciting.
[19:33] Gerhard
    Where exactly does this lead?
[19:40] Dali
    An underground archive.
[19:42] Gerhard
    On what?
[19:44] Dali
    Any and all information
     regarding the TRUE OF VAMP.
[19:49] Gerhard
    What?!
[19:50] Dino
    You mean to say you've
    taken top-secret documents?
[19:54] Dali
    I didn't take them. These are all copies.
[19:58] Gerhard
    It makes no difference!
[20:00] Gerhard
    How could a member of the
    Vlad Agency do such a thing?!
[20:03] Dali
    Well, now that the originals have
    been stolen, it should prove handy.
[20:07] Dino
    This is a massive breach of protocol...
[20:10] Dino
    But I say it's worth overlooking right now.
[20:13] Dali
    I'll accept whatever punishment later.
[20:15] Henrique
    So, what are we looking up?
[20:18] Dali
    When I fought that dhampir,
    it reminded me of something.
[20:23] Dali
    And not some long-forgotten factoid, either.
[20:26] Dali
    No, it was something quite recent...
[20:30] Dali
    Here we are. This is it.
[20:31] Henrique
    Whatcha got there?
[20:33] Dali
    There was an incident in a rural
    town roughly a year ago.
[20:38] Dali
    This is the case file on Nebula Village,
    whose inhabitants were all dhampirs.
[20:43] Gerhard
    The Nebula Village massacre...
[20:46] Dino
    It was even brought up among the Vlad Agency.
[20:50] Dali
    Nebula Village was burned down and it's
    population was slaughtered by TRUMP.
[20:56] Dali
    It no longer exists.
[21:00] (Flashback) Juras
    No one can get in my way.
    Not until I have vengeance on TRUMP.
[21:05] (Flashback) Dali
    Vengeance?
[21:07] Dali
    He must be a survivor from Nebula Village.
[21:20] Lucia
    You dodged!
[21:23] Elena
    My turn next!
[21:25] Angelico
    But I found it first!
[21:28] Raphael
    No, it was me!
[21:35] Catalina
    Kids can really adapt to anything, huh?
[21:39] Kiki
    It's like we're running a nursery.
[21:42] Angelico
    But it's mine!

[03:27] Keith
    It's a little late to start trying
    to blow hot air at us, pal...
[03:30] Keith
    seeing as the guy in the mask here
    has met TRUMP before.
[03:43] Johannes
    What do you intend to do
    upon finding the TRUE OF VAMP?
[03:46] Keith
    Good question.
[03:48] Keith
    We're acting on the boss's orders, and I've
     got no idea what the hell he's thinking.
[03:54] Keith
    But he wants us to suss out
     where TRUMP is hiding.
[03:58] Johannes
    The TRUE OF VAMP is a very precarious deity.
[04:01] Johannes
    We can't risk direct interaction.
[04:04] Johannes
    All we can really do is keep watch.
[04:08] Keith
    Yeah, that's not what I'm asking.

    We start killing the brats one by one.
[04:47] Keith
    Right in front of you.
[04:50] Johannes
    Do as you will.
[04:51] Johannes
    The survival of our kind takes precedence
    over the lives of even children.
[04:57] Keith
    It'll be interesting to find out
    if you're not just playing cool.
[05:11] Catarina
    Say, Kiki, what is all this?
[05:14] Keith
    What did you do?
[05:17] Kiki
    Well? Pretty amazing, right?
[05:19] Kiki
    Abraham and I put this all together!
[05:25] Kiki
    I used a good chunk of my money to make
    sure the kids won't get bored.
[05:30] Kiki
    Abraham went halfsies with me. Didn't you?
[05:36] Catarina
    Well, now it really does look like a nursery.
[05:39] Keith
    Have you lost your mind? This isn't a game.
[05:41] Catarina
    Oh, what's the harm?
    I don't mind such things.
[05:47] Lucia
    Wow!
[05:49] Angelico
    Can we play?
[05:51] Kiki
    Of course! You can do whatever
    you want while you're here.
[05:56] Lucia
    Thank you, Kiki!
[05:58] Kiki
    You're welcome.
[05:58] Catarina
    Help yourselves.
[06:00] Twins; unmarked AD
    Thank you!
[06:03] Angelico
    Come on, Raphael!
[06:05] Raphael
    O-Okay.
[06:08] Angelico; unmarked AD
    Over here!
[06:12] Kiki
    What's wrong? Don't you want to play?
[06:18] Theodore
    When will you let us go home?
[06:21] Kiki
    Uh, well, that's a good question.
[06:24] Kiki
    I don't actually know myself.
[06:26] Kiki
    Hey, Keith, how long are
    the kids gonna be here?
[06:30] Keith
    How the hell should I know?
[06:32] Kiki
    He is such a pain.
[06:34] Catarina
    I'm sorry we had to drag you into this.
[06:37] Catarina
    I don't know when it will be,
[06:40] Catarina
    but we'll make sure you get home,
    so don't you worry.
[06:43] Theodore
    I can't trust anything bad people say.
[06:46] Catarina
    Listen here, sweetie. Children really are
    supposed to be, you know, childlike.
[06:50] Theodore
    I'm no child.
[06:52] Kiki
    Well, if you're not a kid, then what are you?
[06:56] Theodore
    I am the proud future head of House Classico.
[06:59] Theodore
    I'm an aristocrat.
[07:00] Theodore
    Nothing like you people.
[07:07] Kiki
    Hold it.
[07:10] Kiki
    What the hell is this?
[07:13] Kiki
    Wanna see what happens
    if you do anything to them?
[07:15] Kiki
    I'll beat you to a pulp.
[07:20] Juras
    Suit yourself.
[07:23] Kiki
    What's his problem? You think he hates kids?
[07:27] Catarina
    I wouldn't say it's all kids.
    Just the babes of aristocrats.
[07:32] Kiki
    You sound like you know what his deal is.
[07:35] Catarina
    Well, maybe I do.
[07:41] Kate
    So, what did you want?
[07:44] Dali
    Kate Lorca, chief of the
     Vlad Agency's intelligence office...
[07:48] Dali
    I'd like to make a small request of you.
[07:51] Kate
    Sir Dali.
[07:52] Kate
    You must know that I do not care for you.
[07:55] Dali
    Why, I appreciate your honesty.
[07:59] Kate
    Lord Johannes seems to think highly of you,
[08:02] Kate
    but I can't endorse your brazen bucking
    of order in the execution of your duties.
[08:09] Gerhard
    There's no contest against that.
[08:12] Dino
    Quite. Keep going, in fact.
[08:15] Kate
    I also haven't forgiven you
    for dragging the children into this yet.
[08:21] Kate
    That said, I realize you never
     intended for this to happen.
[08:27] Dali
    I appreciate that.
[08:29] Dino
    A very productive outlook.
[08:31] Dino
    You appear to have a
     fine partner, Sir Henrique.
[08:34] Henrique
    I know, right?
[08:36] Dino
    She frankly seems wasted on you.
[08:39] Henrique
    Hey, I don't know about that!
[08:42] Henrique
    Right, Kate? I'm a good husband, right?
[08:46] Kate
    We're on duty. Enough personal chitchat.
[08:50] Henrique
    'Kay...
[08:51] Kate
    Now then, what do you need from me?
[08:54] Dali
    I need intel. About the incident at
    Nebula Village dating one year back.
[09:02] Kate
    Nebula Village?
[09:06] Kate
    As you're aware, dhampirs are
    the offspring of vampires and humans
[09:13] Kate
    and outcasts to both populations.
[09:17] Kate
    Nebula Village was founded
    by dhampirs in an attempt
[09:22] Kate
    to escape bigotry and mistreatment.
[09:26] Kate
    Dhampirs are susceptible
    to congenital illnesses,
[09:31] Kate
    resulting in a shorter average lifespan.
[09:34] Kate
    Perhaps the fact that the village inhabitants
    worshiped the immortal TRUE OF VAMP
[09:40] Kate
    was a natural result of that.
[09:45] Kate
    But then, one day, the TRUE OF VAMP
     descended on the village.
[09:51] Henrique
    Why'd the TRUE OF VAMP show up in Nebula?
[09:54] Kate
    I can't say.
[09:56] Kate
    There's not much to be gained
    from speculating on the whims of a god.
[10:02] Gerhard
    And was it on a whim that the
     TRUE OF VAMP slaughtered the villagers?
[10:06] Kate
    It's hard to say.
[10:08] Kate
    It was similar to the collapse phenomenon,
[10:11] Kate
    the mass dying off of Vamps said to be
[10:13] Kate
    caused by TRUMP's mental instability
     and initiative feedback.
[10:17] Kate
    The people of Nebula Village began killing
    each other out of the blue one day.
[10:24] Kate
    Thus was Nebula Village wiped off the map.
[10:28] Dino
    And you're suggesting that someone
    survived this collapse?
[10:33] Dali
    Yes, that's right.
[10:35] Kate
    Indeed, there are three confirmed
    survivors who made it out
[10:40] Kate
    of the collapse of Nebula Village.
[10:42] Gerhard
    What became of them?
[10:45] Kate
    One was an infant at the time
     and was taken into a dhampir orphanage.
[10:50] Kate
    One was a young boy.
[10:52] Kate
    He was adopted by a human,
    a hunter who attended to the incident.
[10:57] Kate
    The other is missing.
[11:00] Dali
    And who's that?
[11:02] Kate
    Shad Juras.
[11:03] Kate
    He was an advisor to the village mayor.
[11:07] Kate
    He was found on the scene covered head
    to toe in burns and nearly perished.
[11:12] Kate
    He was immediately transported
    to a Blood Pact hospital before vanishing.
[11:20] Dali
    That's him. I'm sure of it.
[11:23] Kate
    You think Shad Juras has
    something to do this?
[11:27] Dali
    Indeed.
[11:28] Dali
    Dhampir blood. Full-body burns.
    Hatred for the TRUE OF VAMP.
[11:35] Dali
    I'm positive he's joined up with Pendulum.
[11:45] Catarina
    He told me a story once.
[11:48] Catarina
    I think he must've been drunk,
    since he was unusually chatty.
[11:55] Kiki
    Doesn't sound like him.
[11:57] Catarina
    Juras hails from Gray Cat Town originally.
[12:01] Catarina
    And he met someone very important here.
[12:05] Kiki
    Ooh, what do you mean?
    Are we talking romance?
[12:09] Catarina
    Yes, we are.
[12:13] Catarina
    A fateful encounter most cruel and tender.

[12:28] (Flashback) Merchant
    Step right up and take a look, folks!
[12:31] (Flashback) Merchant
    From beef to lamb to hare to snake,
    I've got blood of all types!
[12:37] (Flashback) Merchant
    How about it, ma'am? Nice and fresh!
[12:40] (Flashback) Woman
    I'll take three jars of hare.
[12:42] (Flashback) Merchant
    Much obliged!
[12:43] (Flashback) Merchant
    Hey! You again?!
[12:45] (Flashback) Woman
    Wait!
[12:47] (Flashback) Merchant
    Filthy dhampir brat!
[12:53] Catarina
    Being a dhampir meant Juras was
    abandoned by his parents at birth,
[12:58] Catarina
    and he grew up without any family.
[13:00] Kiki
    Well, people do hate dhampirs.
[13:04] Kiki
    That sounds about par.
[13:17] Catarina
    Juras managed to survive
    after a dhampir woman took him in.
[13:23] Catarina
    But...
[13:25] Catarina
    Dhampirs don't live for long.
[13:29] Catarina
    After his adoptive mother died,
[13:32] Catarina
    Juras survived by drinking her blood.
[13:38] Kiki
    Guess he really must've wanted to live.
[13:40] Catarina
    And yet this world is too cruel for a
    dhampir child to survive in on his own.
[13:50] (Flashback) Noble Kid A
    Ew, he's drinking rat blood!
[13:54] (Flashback) Noble Kid A
    Something stinks. He must be a dhampir.
[13:56] (Flashback) Noble Kid A
    How can you drink such filthy blood?
[13:59] (Flashback) Noble Parent
    Don't you kids bother with that urchin.
[14:03] (Flashback) Noble Kid A
    Let's go. He's disgusting.
[14:05] (Flashback) Noble Kid B
    Yeah.
[14:06] (Flashback) NOble Kid A
    Get out of our town!
     You make it smell like a sewer!
[14:11] (Flashback) NOble Kid A
    You little—
[14:14] (Flashback) NOble Kid A
    You're just a dhampir! How dare you?!
[14:18] (Flashback) NOble Kid A
    See what happens when
    you defy your betters?!
[14:29] (Flashback) Rosa
    Are you okay?
[14:31] Catarina
    And that was how Shad Juras met Rosa.
[14:37] Catarina
    Rosa took him in and brought
    him to Nebula Village.
[14:43] Kiki
    Taking in a dhampir...
    What a weird thing to do.
[14:47] Catarina
    Well, you see, everyone who lived
    in Nebula Village was a dhampir.
[14:54] Catarina
    I'm sure Rosa just couldn't ignore
    the plight of another dhampir.
[15:01] Kiki
    Birds of a feather sticking together, huh?
[15:04] Kiki
    Anyway, so that's how he came to live
    in this Nebula Village place?
[15:09] Catarina
    Right.
[15:11] Catarina
    It's where Shad Juras lived and grew up.
[15:16] (Flashback) Juras
    Hey, Carlo. Torsten.
[15:19] (Flashback) Juras
    What's going on?
[15:21] (Flashback) Carlo
    Rosa mentioned something
    about us all having dinner together.
[15:24] (Flashback) Carlo
    Are you joining us?
[15:26] (Flashback) Juras
    Sure. I'd love to.
[15:30] (Flashback) Unmarked AD
    Food really does taste better with company.
[15:33] (Flashback) Unmarked AD
    Hey, you've got some on your face.
[15:36] (Flashback) Unmarked AD
    So good!
[15:40] (Flashback) Carlo
    Hey, Shad, you're spacing out.
    Is something wrong?
[15:44] (Flashback) Juras
    No. It's nothing.
[15:47] Catarina
    Rosa had grown into a beautiful woman,
    and Juras was attracted to her.
[15:52] Catarina
    But Rosa never had eyes for him.
[16:02] Catarina
    And then... that day came.
[16:06] Catarina
    The TRUE OF VAMP appeared in Nebula Village.
[16:13] Catarina
    What followed was naught
     but ghastly destruction.
[16:19] Catarina
    Because of TRUMP's initiative,
    the villagers began killing each other.
[16:46] (Flashback) Juras
    It's over now...
[16:54] Catarina
    He might've been happier
    if he had actually died.
[17:05] Catarina
    Juras was found on the verge of death
[17:09] Catarina
    and taken to a Blood Pact
    hospital in a nearby town,
[17:12] Catarina
    where he was revived.
[17:15] Catarina
    Granted, he ran off before he healed up.
[17:22] Catarina
    So, after losing his home and losing Rosa,
[17:26] Catarina
    all he was left with...
[17:30] Catarina
    were the burns covering his entire body.
[17:33] Kiki
    Sounds like hell, surviving all that.
[17:37] Kiki
    Not that I care. If he threatens the kids,
     I'll still knock his block off.
[17:45] Kiki
    Abraham! Keep an eye out, okay?
[17:50] Catarina
    You're such a sweetheart, Kiki.
[17:52] Kiki
    Yeah, I know!
[17:56] Kiki
    Wait, so why's he working for Pendulum?
    That doesn't make any sense.
[18:05] Catarina
    Why, isn't it obvious? For revenge.
[18:09] Catarina
    Vengeance on the TRUE OF VAMP,
    who took Nebula Village and Rosa from him.
[18:15] Catarina
    I have no idea how he managed to do it,
     but he made contact with our boss.
[18:22] (Flashback) Pizarro
    So, you're the one who's
    looking for TRUMP, are you?
[18:27] (Flashback) Juras
    Yeah. Your organization seems
    like it might be able to help me.
[18:33] (Flashback) Pizarro
    We're a collection of believers
    in the primordial faith,
[18:36] (Flashback) Pizarro
    worshipers of the TRUE OF VAMP.
[18:40] (Flashback) Pizarro
    That's not compatible with you,
    who's seeking vengeance on our god.
[18:45] (Flashback) Pizarro
    That said... I also think that you might
    be able to make my dream come true.
[18:52] (Flashback) Juras
    Your dream?
[18:55] (Flashback) Pizarro
    Yes. You see, I want to make TRUMP happy.
[19:00] Kiki
    Make TRUMP happy, huh?
[19:03] Catarina
    Why'd you join Pendulum, Kiki?
[19:06] Catarina
    I've been curious. What's a nice girl like
    you doing with a bunch of rogues like us?
[19:15] Kiki
    I...
[19:17] Kiki
    I just want to stay in my cocoon phase.
[19:21] Kiki
    And I need these for that.
[19:24] Kiki
    Which is why I'm here. To stay
    in my cocoon phase... forever.
[19:30] Catarina
    I hope you can find happiness too, Kiki.
[19:34] Kiki
    That's not possible for me.
[19:47] Kiki
    And if it was somehow...
    it'd been in the far, distant future.
[19:52] Kiki
    Somewhere tons of marigolds are blooming.
[19:58] Catarina
    Marigolds symbolize despair.
[20:10] Juras
    I'm running out of time.
[20:12] Juras
    Need to get this done...
[20:15] Keith
    Hey, don't go croaking yet.
[20:20] Keith
    You've got a job that's not finished.
[20:27] Juras
    I know.
[20:35] Dino
    Should we really be taking
    our time like this?
[20:38] Dino
    The children could be in ever-increasing
    danger as we sit around.
[20:44] Henrique
    For now, hurrying won't help.
[20:47] Gerhard
    Given our lack of leads, we simply
    have to take things one step at a time.
[20:52] Dali
    Right. For the time being, let us have faith
    in the proud Lord Johannes Vlad.
[21:04] Henrique
    If I'd known we'd be walking so far,
     I'd have dressed lighter...
[21:11] Dali
    There it is.
[21:16] Dali
    Hello, young man. We're looking for someone.
[21:24] Sekishu
    Well now, we certainly don't get
    visitors out here very often.
[21:28] Sekishu
    How can I help you?
[21:31] Dali
    You're the hunter who attended
    to the loss of Nebula Village, correct?
[21:37] Sekishu
    Yes. My name is Sekishu.
[21:40] Dali
    I take it this boy is the last of
    Nebula Village's survivors, then?

[04:03] Juras
    TRUMP.
[04:06] Juras
    The TRUE OF VAMP.
[04:10] Juras
    The original vampire.
[04:14] Juras
    The progenitor of all Vamps.
[04:21] Juras
    If you're really the god who controls
    everything about Vampkind...
[04:30] Juras
    I'll...
[04:37] Sekishu
    Yes, that's correct. I was in
    Nebula Village that day.
[04:42] Sekishu
    The guild sent me to look into Vamp
    murders that had been occurring there.
[04:50] Dino
    But your investigation took
    a turn for the unexpected.
[04:55] Sekishu
    All because the TRUE OF VAMP showed up.
[04:58] Sekishu
    An entity that was only supposed
     to be a fairy tale, there in the flesh.
[05:02] Gerhard
    How did you know it was the TRUE OF VAMP?
[05:05] Sekishu
    Because, try as I might,
    there was no way to kill it.
[05:09] Sekishu
    After what I saw,
    even a fool could've told you...
[05:12] Sekishu
    the TRUE OF VAMP really does exist.
[05:17] Henrique
    I'm still not clear on why the TRUE OF VAMP
     wiped out Nebula Village, though.
[05:22] Sekishu
    I don't know either.
[05:23] Sekishu
    Although...
[05:24] Dali
    What is it? Go on.
[05:26] Sekishu
    Nebula Village held on
     to the primordial faith.
[05:30] Sekishu
    Its people worshiped TRUMP like a god.
[05:34] Sekishu
    Death is never far when you're a dhampir.
[05:38] Sekishu
    I can imagine the villagers were
     desperate for immortality.
[05:44] Henrique
    How's that lead to a slaughter?
[05:47] Sekishu
    I'm sure it was an annoyance.
[05:50] Dino
    An annoyance?
[05:52] Sekishu
    For TRUMP, having worshipers like that
     must be like having
[05:55] Sekishu
    a cloud of flies following you around.
[05:58] Sekishu
    Granted, I'm just speculating.
[06:00] Dali
    No, you're not far off the mark there.
[06:04] Dali
    That's the very reason the Vlad Agency
[06:06] Dali
    strives to keep the primordial faithful
    from making contact with TRUMP.
[06:11] Sekishu
    I must say, I'm surprised to get a visit
    from a group of vampire aristocrats.
[06:16] Sekishu
    This is a violation of the treaty.
[06:18] Dali
    I admit we're indulging extralegal means.
[06:21] Dali
    We have business with the
    Nebula Village survivor.
[06:30] Sekishu
    Since Banri had nowhere to go, I took him in.
[06:34] Henrique
    A human hunter adopting a dhampir, eh?
[06:38] Sekishu
    No, he's human.
[06:41] Henrique
    But wasn't Nebula Village
    a dhampir settlement?
[06:44] Sekishu
    He was abandoned as a baby near
    the village, so they took him in.
[06:49] Sekishu
    Banri, these men would
    like to speak with you.
[06:53] Banri
    About what? Aren't you gents vampires?
[06:56] Dali
    Oh, you can tell?
[06:58] Banri
    I'm training to become a hunter.
[07:01] Banri
    I've learned how to spot the differences
     between humans and Vamps.
[07:05] Banri
    And I hate Vamps,
    so I have nothing to say to you.
[07:09] Henrique
    Aw, come on. Don't be like that.
[07:11] Banri
    I've got work left to do.
[07:12] Banri
    Could you go?
[07:14] Dali
    We have questions about a man named Shad.
[07:17] Dali
    I believe he's a survivor from
    Nebula Village, much like yourself.
[07:24] Banri
    He was a creep.
[07:26] Banri
    Always following Rosa, the acting mayor,
    around like he was someone important.
[07:31] Banri
    He should've died
    with the rest of the village back then.
[07:36] Banri
    And yet...
[07:38] Dino
    This Shad is now a member of a
    criminal organization called Pendulum.
[07:43] Dino
    He's kidnapped a Blood Pact Council official
    with some children and gone into hiding.
[07:49] Gerhard
    If you could tell us whatever you may know,
    we'd be grateful. Anything at all.
[07:54] Banri
    Like I said, I hate Vamps.
[07:57] Banri
    I've got no reason to tell you anything.
[08:00] Dali
    We could always force you to talk, of course.
[08:03] Henrique
    Dali-boy...
[08:05] Banri
    I'd like to see you try.
[08:07] Sekishu
    Banri, our enemies are vampires that
    cause trouble in human territory.
[08:13] Sekishu
    These men aren't like that.
[08:14] Banri
    But Master...
[08:16] Gerhard
    Please!
[08:18] Gerhard
    My son is one of the children that Shad took.
[08:22] Henrique
    He took my daughters, too.
[08:24] Banri
    They were your kids?
[08:25] Dali
    We wouldn't dream of asking
    this of a human otherwise.
[08:30] Sekishu
    Banri...
[08:32] Banri
    Shad came to see me a while back.
[08:36] Dali
    He came here?
[08:37] Banri
    I couldn't tell it was him at first.
[08:40] Banri
    Hard to believe he survived,
    considering what happened to him...
[08:48] (Flashback) Banri
    What do you want with me?
[08:51] (Flashback) Banri
    Come on, say something.
[08:54] (Flashback) Juras
    I...
[08:57] (Flashback) Banri
    Are you dying?
[09:00] (Flashback) Juras
    Yeah. I don't have much time left.
[09:04] (Flashback) Juras
    Dhampirs have never been long-lived,
    and my injuries haven't helped.
[09:10] (Flashback) Banri
    Maybe you should've gone back to the
    hospital instead of coming here!
[09:15] (Flashback) Juras
    There's something I need to do.
[09:20] (Flashback) Juras
    Before I die, I have to complete this task.
[09:25] (Flashback) Banri
    What's that got to do with me?
[09:28] (Flashback) Juras
    Good question. I never did get
    along with your family, after all.
[09:33] (Flashback) Banri
    Then what gives?
[09:35] (Flashback) Juras
    When I heard you'd survived the disaster,
     I got the urge to see you.
[09:41] (Flashback) Juras
    You and I are the only
    survivors of Nebula Village.
[09:46] (Flashback) Juras
    I won't be coming back. But if you ever need
    help, considering our shared background,
[09:53] (Flashback) Juras
    I'll do what I can.
[09:55] (Flashback) Banri
    In the kind of shape you're in? How?
[09:58] (Flashback) Juras
    That's a good point.
[10:00] (Flashback) Juras
    You can find me in Gray Cat Town.
[10:03] (Flashback) Juras
    If you ever need anything, come calling.
[10:08] Henrique
    Gray Cat Town?
[10:09] Gerhard
    That's where we can find Shad?
[10:11] Banri
    Yeah.
[10:12] Dino
    Let's contact the info brokers.
     They may be able to pinpoint the hideout.
[10:17] Banri
    Are you guys gonna kill Shad?
[10:20] Dali
    The situation may yet demand it.
[10:22] Banri
    I see. In that case, can I ask for something?
[10:26] Henrique
    What's that?
[10:27] Banri
    Just... try and make it quick for him.
[10:31] Dali
    Pity for someone from your hometown?
[10:32] Banri
    Shad's always been a jerk,
    but deep down, he's not a bad guy.
[10:38] Banri
    So...
[10:39] Dali
    Understood. You have my word.
[10:43] Dino
    We appreciate your cooperation,
[10:45] Dino
    and we'll likewise appreciate your discretion.
[10:48] Sekishu
    Of course. I understand.
[10:50] Gerhard
    We'll excuse ourselves, then.
[10:59] Sekishu
    Are you sure that was wise?
[11:01] Banri
    You're seriously asking me that?
[11:03] Banri
    Master, I'm a hunter now.
[11:06] Banri
    If Shad's causing trouble, then I
    can't just let him get away with it.
[11:11] Sekishu
    A hunter in training, I should point out.
[11:15] Banri
    That's why I need to get much, much stronger.
[11:19] Banri
    So I can protect the things that need it.
[11:29] Keith
    You still alive?
[11:32] Keith
    Aw, come on, man.
     You're the freakiest dude here.
[11:36] Keith
    Makes me wonder what your
    cocoon phase was like.
[11:43] Keith
    What the...
[11:45] Juras
    Time is running out.
[11:49] Juras
    I'll expire soon.
[11:52] Juras
    I need to do it before then.
[11:55] Juras
    I'm going to kill that immortal god...
[12:01] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[12:08] Dino
    We've narrowed down the likely hideouts
    and posted people to watch them.
[12:13] Henrique
    Then we caught our friends coming
    and going from one of the locations.
[12:18] Gerhard
    So that's where the children are?
[12:20] Dino
    Yes. Along with Lord Johannes.
[12:22] Henrique
    If they're still alive, anyway.
[12:26] Dino
    I've been pondering this for a while now...
[12:28] Henrique
    What's up?
[12:30] Dino
    Do you have any emotions at all?
[12:33] Henrique
    O-Of course I do! What a rude thing to say.
[12:37] Dino
    I'm not so sure...
[12:40] Dali
    We need to collect them as soon as possible.
[12:48] Raphael
    Grandpa!
[12:49] Johannes
    Hello, children. I take it you're not hurt?
[12:54] Angelico
    I'm fine!
[12:56] Johannes
    I see. That's good.
[12:58] Theodore
    I'm more worried about you, sir.
[13:02] Johannes
    So I've got the children worried now, do I?
[13:05] Angelico
    This won't come off!
[13:06] Lucia
    I want to go home already.
[13:09] Elena
    These people keep lying about letting us go!
[13:13] Keith
    Lord Johannes.
[13:15] Keith
    You people can't be forced to talk about
    the TRUE OF VAMP. Do I have that right?
[13:21] Johannes
    And if you do?
[13:22] Keith
    Then it's not an issue if 
    you willingly spill the details.
[13:26] Juras
    If you don't talk, one of the children
     dies every five minutes.
[13:35] Johannes
    The Vlad Agency's mission
    takes priority over all else.
[13:39] Keith
    Over even the kids, you mean?
[13:43] Lucia
    You're lying! Grandpa is gonna
     protect everybody!
[13:48] Elena
    Lucia!
[13:50] Angelico
    P-Put Lucia down!
[13:55] Keith
    Juras here is running out of time,
    so we've gotta get things moving.
[14:00] Juras
    You say your mission takes priority
    over the lives of these children.
[14:04] Juras
    Is that right, noble Lord Johannes?
[14:06] Juras
    I wonder how many of them it will take.
[14:10] Juras
    This should be fun.
[14:16] Elena
    Lucia!
[14:18] Kiki
    What the hell do you think you're
    trying to do behind my back?
[14:25] Catarina
    Look, Kiki, try and calm down...
[14:27] Kiki
    Abraham!
[14:30] Catarina
    Hang on! We can't be
    fighting amongst ourselves!
[14:33] Kiki
    I warned you if you tried to harm
     the kids, then I was gonna flatten you!
[14:39] Twins
    You can do it, Kiki!
[14:41] Kiki
    You bet I can!
[14:43] Keith
    Then I'll crush you!
[15:04] Catarina
    What did he do?
[15:05] Keith
    How the hell should I know?
[15:06] Kiki
    N-Now you're really gonna get it...
[15:10] Keith
    Die.
[15:12] Elena
    Kiki!
[15:15] Kiki
    Raph?!
[15:20] Kiki
    Thank goodness.
[15:22] Keith
    Raphael Delico, huh?
[15:25] Keith
    Guess we'll start with him.
[15:27] Johannes
    Wait.
[15:30] Theodore
    Lord Johannes...
[15:32] Keith
    What happened to the mission taking priority?
[15:35] Catarina
    I guess it's hard to be so cold-blooded.
[15:38] Catarina
    I'm impressed.
[15:40] Johannes
    The TRUE OF VAMP is at the Clan.
[15:44] Keith
    Hey, hold up. Isn't TRUMP our god?
[15:48] Keith
    What are they doing at the Clan?
[15:51] Catarina
    What was that?!
[15:52] Blood police
    Over here!
[15:57] Dali
    Let's go.
[15:58] Gerhard
    Right.
[16:06] Dali
    Split up and search the interior.
[16:09] Henrique
    Okay, Dino and I will go this way.
[16:14] Dali
    You men take the opposite direction.
[16:16] Dali
    Gerhard and I will head straight in.
[16:18] Blood Police
    Yes, sir!
[16:23] Kiki
    You guys again? Talk about stubborn.
[16:27] Dali
    We seem to keep meeting
    like this, strong girl.
[16:31] Dali
    And yet...
[16:32] Dali
    How unlucky for you to have
    to face both me and Gerhard together.
[16:51] Catarina
    You boys get to deal with us.
[16:53] Henrique
    So, how do we play this?
[16:56] Dino
    I will crush them, as my pride demands!
[16:58] Dino
    Have a taste of pankration.
[17:14] Keith
    If backup shows, they'll force their way in.
[17:16] Keith
    I say we grab Johannes and head
    to one of the hidden tunnels—
[17:25] Bear
    Wow, that was pretty bold for you.
[17:29] Bunny
    Good boy, Theo! You tried
    to protect the others!
[17:34] Keith
    You little shit!
[17:40] Keith
    Let's get out of here.
[17:45] Keith
    Y-You...
[17:48] Juras
    You'll just slow me down
    in the shape you're in.
[17:51] Juras
    I'll take it from here.
[17:55] Keith
    Screw you...
[18:04] Juras
    You're aware that the cocoon phase
    can yield different symptoms, yes?
[18:07] Juras
    Well, some of them can be quite irregular.
[18:11] Juras
    In such cases, the symptoms are extraordinary.
[18:14] Juras
    Being able to show your
    hallucinations to other people...
[18:18] Juras
    Being able to predict the future...
[18:20] Juras
    Some are even able
    to entrance others with their smell.
[18:26] Juras
    Let me tell you about mine.
[18:32] Keith
    That's it... That's how you...
[18:45] Kiki
    I can snap these ropes like they're nothing.
[18:52] Kiki
    Huh?
[18:53] Gerhard
    There's metal woven into that rope.
[18:56] Gerhard
    Even you won't be able to break it so easily.
[19:11] Henrique
    That's one down!
[19:16] Dino
    Where'd the other go?
[19:28] Dali
    Raphael.
[19:29] Raphael
    Father?
[19:33] Dali
    I'm glad to see you're all right.
[19:37] Henrique
    Lucia! Elena!
[19:40] Lucia
    It's Papa!
[19:42] Elena
    Papa!
[19:45] Henrique
    What a relief!
[19:52] Lucia
    You know what? Raphael, Angelico,
    and Theodore all fought the bad guys!
[19:58] Lucia
    They were so amazing!
[20:03] Henrique
    Give the kid a hug.
[20:11] Gerhard
    Well done, my son.
[20:18] Dino
    Theodore.
[20:21] Theodore
    I'm sorry. I wasn't able
    to save Lord Johannes.
[20:26] Bear
    It is what it is.
[20:27] Bunny
    You're still just a kid, Theodore!
[20:31] Dino
    I have given you the kind of noble
    education required to succeed me
[20:35] Dino
    as the head of House Classico.
[20:38] Dino
    And that will not change.
[20:41] Dino
    However, from now on, I will
    afford you a bit more leniency.
[20:49] Dino
    What are you doing? Come to me! Now!
[20:55] Bear
    Go on.
[20:56] Bunny
    Go to him.
[21:19] Clara
    There, there. It's all right now.
[21:25] Clara
    Your father and the others will be back
    with Master Raphael and the children soon.
[21:36] Catarina
    Pardon the intrusion!
[21:38] Catarina
    I'm taking over as babysitter.
[21:42] Catarina
    Although, I doubt you're gonna believe me.

[00:01] Catarina
    I'm taking over as babysitter.
[00:05] Catarina
    Although, I doubt you're gonna believe me.
[00:11] Catarina
    If you hand him over quietly,
    we won't hurt him.
[00:16] Clara
    That is not going to happen.
[00:18] Juras
    Then we'll just take him.
[00:22] Ferdinand
    Damn you intruders!
    You shall face me, Ferdinand!
[00:29] Clara
    Ferdinand!
[00:32] Catarina
    Right, so we're taking him.
[00:36] Clara
    Wait! I'm going with you.
[00:41] Catarina
    What did you just say?
[00:43] Clara
    If you intend on taking the baby,
     then I'm coming with you!
[00:49] Juras
    You're worth nothing to us.
    The brat is hostage enough.
[00:54] Clara
    I doubt you people know
    how to change diapers.
[00:58] Clara
    If you're taking him, I'm going as well.
[01:00] Clara
    And if that doesn't suit you,
    then he stays right here.
[01:04] Juras
    Should I kill her?
[01:06] Catarina
    Oh, it's fine. Let's just take her.
[01:08] Juras
    What?
[01:09] Catarina
    I mean, she does have a point.
[01:12] Catarina
    And we need the little dear to last
    until we get what we want.
[01:17] Ferdinand
    C-Clara...
[01:19] Clara
    Ferdinand!
[01:21] Clara
    Inform the master of what's
    transpired upon his return.
[01:26] Clara
    Tell him that I will ensure
    Master Ul's safety.

[03:01] Dino
    You're saying that Pendulum took Ul?

    How to Kill God
[03:12] Ferdinand
    I'm ever so sorry.
[03:16] Henrique
    We're really paying for not nabbing
    them at their hideout.
[03:19] Gerhard
    But how did they know where to go?
[03:22] Gerhard
    No one should know
     about this place except for us.
[03:25] Theodore
    It's our fault.
[03:27] Dino
    What do you mean by that, Theodore?
[03:31] Theodore
    We kept asking them to take us home...
[03:38] (Flashback) Elena
    Hey, Kiki!
[03:40] (Flashback) Kiki
    Yeah? What's up?
[03:41] (Flashback) Elena
    This place is boring!
[03:43] (Flashback) Lucia
    I think so too!
[03:45] (Flashback) Theodore
    How long must we stay here?
[03:48] (Flashback) Kiki
    What? You wanna go home?
[03:51] (Flashback) Theodore
    Yes.
[03:53] (Flashback) Angelico
    I want to go home too. Don't you, Raphael?
[03:58] (Flashback) Raphael
    Yeah. I need to apologize.
[04:00] (Flashback) Kiki
    Apologize for what?
[04:03] (Flashback) Raphael
    I took Ul outside without asking,
    and that's why Grandpa's house burned down.
[04:09] (Flashback) Raphael
    If Ul's hurt, then I...
[04:15] (Flashback) Kiki
    Whoa, come on! No crying!
[04:19] (Flashback) Catarina
    All right.
[04:20] (Flashback) Catarina
    We'll take you kids home.
[04:23] (Flashback) Angelico
    Really?
[04:24] (Flashback) Catarina
    Sure. We'll have your daddies
    come and pick you up.
[04:28] (Flashback) Catarina
    There's just one problem, though.
     We don't know where you all live.
[04:33] (Flashback) Elena
    Well, right now, we live at Clara's house!
[04:37] (Flashback) Catarina
    Clara?
[04:38] (Flashback) Lucia
    She cooks super tasty food!
[04:42] (Flashback) Catarina
    My, that sounds nice.
[04:48] Theodore
    That's how they knew about this place!
[04:52] Theodore
    Because we kept going on about going home...
[04:56] Dino
    You needn't worry.
[04:58] Dino
    We'll get Ul back.
[05:01] Dino
    Isn't that right, Sir Dali?
[05:04] Dali
    Of course it is.
[05:06] Henrique
    So, hey, anyone else hungry?
[05:09] Gerhard
    Come to think of it, we haven't
    had anything since this morning.
[05:14] Dali
    Well, gentlemen, why don't we
    share a nice meal with the children?
[06:19] Gerhard
    We failed to capture two of them,
    Shad Juras and Catarina.
[06:24] Gerhard
    The two that were detained, Kiki and
    Abraham, are undergoing questioning.
[06:30] Dino
    Their leader, Keith, was unconscious
    at the time of arrest and remains so.
[06:36] Dino
    He's currently being treated at a Blood
    Pact hospital under heavy security.
[06:41] Henrique
    So as soon as he wakes up,
    we'll interrogate him too.
[06:45] Dino
    I don't think that's in the cards.
[06:47] Henrique
    How come?
[06:48] Dino
    According to the doctors,
[06:50] Dino
    he's bereft of any of the somatic
    reflexes that would indicate life.
[06:55] Henrique
    Meaning he's not in any shape
    to be answering questions...
[06:59] Gerhard
    Indeed. So for now, we'll have to try
    to track down Juras and Catarina.
[07:05] Dali
    Let's assume they have
     Lord Johannes, Clara, and Ul.
[07:12] Dino
    We can also infer their destination based
    on the testimony of that Kiki girl.
[07:19] (Flashback) Kiki
    It's like I told you.
    Johannes already spilled the beans.
[07:24] (Flashback) Kiki
    About TRUMP being at the Clan.
[07:26] (Flashback) Dali
    I have trouble believing the head of
    the Vlad Agency would fold so easily.
[07:31] (Flashback) Kiki
    I mean, I would've protected the kids
    even if he hadn't.
[07:35] (Flashback) Kiki
    After all, I love them all so very much!
[07:40] (Flashback) Kiki
    This is part of your cocoon phase, isn't it?
[07:42] (Flashback) Kiki
    Yep, that's right, Dali Delico.
[07:45] (Flashback) Kiki
    I love you too.
    I always have, and I always will!
[07:51] (Flashback) Dali
    Not once your cocoon phase ends.
[07:54] (Flashback) Kiki
    No, it's because my cocoon
     phase will never end.
[07:57] (Flashback) Kiki
    It's going to last forever!
[08:00] (Flashback) Dali
    All you're doing is using these
    to revert to your cocoon phase.
[08:03] (Flashback) Dali
    Once they wear off, you'll be
    joining our ranks as an adult Vamp.
[08:10] (Flashback) Kiki
    It's kinda funny, though.
[08:13] (Flashback) Kiki
    Who'd have guessed the god of all Vampkind
    is working at the Clan as a teacher?
[08:20] (Flashback) Henrique
    Well, it's hard to imagine what might
    be going through a deity's mind.
[08:24] (Flashback) Kiki
    Juras is after the TRUE OF VAMP.
[08:27] (Flashback) Kiki
    I have no idea why our boss let him
    join us, but I can tell you this much...
[08:35] (Flashback) Kiki
    I even love that jerk.
[08:37] (Flashback) Kiki
    I have so much love for the whole world,
     I feel like I'm going crazy!
[08:43] Henrique
    Even so, security at the Clan is pretty tight.
[08:46] Henrique
    I can't imagine they'd really
    just let someone slip in.
[08:51] Dino
    Except we're nearly upon a special occasion
    where the ever-so-cloistered Clan opens up...
[08:59] Gerhard
    The Clan Festival.
[09:00] Dali
    Yes, that's right.
[09:02] Dali
    The Clan's annual tradition allowing
     its students to showcase their talents.
[09:08] Dali
    On this day alone do the Clan's
    tightly locked doors open up for visitors.
[09:14] Gerhard
    For outsiders looking to sneak in,
    it's a one-of-a-kind opportunity.
[09:21] Dino
    If they impersonate guests, they'll be
    able to waltz right through the front door.
[09:26] Dali
    I'd say there's a considerable
     likelihood they strike that day.
[09:30] Dali
    And we can't afford to let them
    meet the TRUE OF VAMP.
[09:33] Henrique
    Our god's a delicate one, after all.
[09:36] Dali
    The trouble never ends when you're
    dealing with such a high-maintenance deity.
[09:50] Gerhart
    Dali...
[09:54] Gerhart
    We're going to get Ul back.
[09:56] Dali
    Where's this coming from?
[09:59] Dali
    It's not just Ul. We'll save
    Lord Johannes and Clara too.
[10:04] Dali
    Won't we?
[10:05] Dino
    Sir Dali...
[10:07] Dino
    You have our gratitude for risking your life
    not just to save our children,
[10:11] Dino
    but every one of us, as well. Thank you.
[10:15] Dali
    The feeling is mutual.
[10:17] Gerhard
    True. Ul may as well be our collective son.
[10:21] Dino
    We will save him. Our pride as
    aristocrats demands nothing less.
[10:26] Gerhard
    Noblesse oblige.
[10:29] Dali
    Right.
[10:32] Quartet
    Noblesse oblige.
[10:36] Anjelico
    Hey, what are you doing?
[10:40] Theodore
    Sh-Shh! Keep it down. They'll hear us,
[10:45] Henrique
    If you wander around at night,
    you'll run into a ghost!
[10:49] Henrique
    What's wrong? It's awful late
     for you kids to be up.
[10:54] Theodore
    Well, it's just that...
[10:56] Lucia
    Papa!
[10:57] Elena
    We can't sleep.
[10:58] Raphael
    Um... I couldn't either.
[11:01] Anjelico
    Yeah, me too.
[11:03] Lucia
    Theodore probably couldn't either.
[11:05] Henrique
    Well, that's no good.
[11:08] Dino
    Considering what they've been through,
    it's no surprise they're wound up.
[11:12] Dali
    Then why don't we read to you
     until you fall asleep?
[11:16] Raphael
    Really?
[11:19] Dali
    Certainly. I would never lie.
[11:22] Dali
    Would I, Gerhard?
[11:25] Gerhard
    Yes, you're certainly right.
[11:26] Twins
    Yay!
[11:29] Twins
    Which book should we pick?
[11:31] Twins
    Let's see, um...
[11:31] Dali
    There's no need to go snooping.
     We'll make sure Ul is safe.
[11:33] Twins
    That one!
[11:34] Twins
    Yeah!
[11:35] Theodore
    R-Right.
[11:44] Johannes
    What do you intend to do
    once you find the TRUE OF VAMP?
[11:48] Juras
    Kill them.
[11:50] Johannes
    Well, that's a strange idea.
[11:54] Johannes
    How do you plan on killing an immortal god?
[11:59] Juras
    I've got a plan, believe me.
[12:04] Juras
    Let me show you the inside of your mind.
[12:10] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[12:21] Johannes
    What is this?
[12:22] Juras
    We're inside your mind.
[12:25] Johannes
    What?
[12:26] Juras
    A symptom of my cocoon phase is the
    ability to enter the minds of people I touch.
[12:32] Juras
    It would've been nice to get the answers
     I needed out of you this way,
[12:36] Juras
    but the mind is even more
    complicated than you'd guess.
[12:40] Juras
    All I can really do is observe the mental
    landscape that's already present.
[12:45] Johannes
    Well, given how often one's
    own mind is a mystery to them,
[12:49] Johannes
    it stands to reason the minds of others
    would be no simpler.
[12:52] Juras
    This power left me when my cocoon
    phase ended and I became an adult,
[12:58] Juras
    but thanks to Pendulum,
     as you can see, I've recovered it.
[13:02] Juras
    As worthless as it tends to be.
[13:16] (Flashback) Shad
    This is Rosa's mind...
[13:19] (Flashback) Carlo
    Hey, Rosa.
[13:21] (Flashback) Carlo
    Nice weather today.
[13:23] (Flashback) Shad
    Carlo?
[13:24] (Flashback) Carlo
    I'm going fishing with
    Shad and the others soon.
[13:26] (Flashback) Carlo
    Would you like to join us?
[13:29] (Flashback) Carlo
    We dhampirs don't live long.
[13:32] (Flashback) Carlo
    Which is why I think we should
     make the most of the life we have.
[13:36] (Flashback) Carlo
    Rosa! Rosa! Rosa! Rosa!
[13:38] (Flashback) Carlo
    Rosa! Rosa! Rosa! Rosa!
    Rosa! Rosa! Rosa!
[13:39] Shad
    Please stop!
[13:42] (Flashback) Rosa
    Do you see now?
[13:44] (Flashback) Rosa
    My mind is filled with thoughts of Carlo.
[13:49] Johannes
    What a tragic power.
[13:51] Juras
    Agreed. But every tool has its use.
[13:55] Juras
    The mind is a delicate thing.
    If you push it, it will shut down.
[14:00] Juras
    It can even be destroyed...
[14:03] Juras
    There are types of death
    beyond the physical.
[14:05] Juras
    A dead mind means the body serves no purpose.
[14:09] Juras
    The mind is the foundation
    of all living creatures.
[14:13] Juras
    Even an immortal, undying god must
    have one in order to be alive.
[14:19] Juras
    You can kill the mind
    without killing the body.
[14:22] Juras
    Which is how I'm going to kill TRUMP.
[14:24] Juras
    Not physically, but mentally.
[14:27] Juras
    And with its mind destroyed,
[14:30] Juras
    the god of Vamps will go on "living" as
    a mentally blank chunk of immortal flesh
[14:34] Juras
    for all eternity.
[14:36] Juras
    That will be my vengeance.
[14:41] Clara
    There, there.
[14:45] Catarina
    I see he's stopped crying.
[14:47] Clara
    Yes. I have to say, you're very kind.
[14:52] Clara
    Considering I could've screamed
     for help from here.
[14:57] Catarina
    I mean, I get tired of Juras yelling
    about how he hates listening to little Ul cry.
[15:02] Catarina
    Besides, if you'd tried anything funny,
    you'd have been dead in a heartbeat.
[15:07] Clara
    What a dreadful thing to say.
[15:10] Catarina
    He really is a cutie.
[15:12] Clara
    You were too, once.
[15:15] Catarina
    Who, me?
[15:16] Clara
    Yes, we all were.
[15:19] Clara
    Spending our days sleeping
    peacefully away in someone's arms...
[15:24] Catarina
    I hate to break it to you,
    but I was abandoned at birth.
[15:29] Catarina
    I can't remember ever getting a single
    restful night's sleep in my life.
[15:33] Catarina
    Not everyone born into this world
     is wanted. Luck's a big factor.
[15:39] Clara
    Sounds like all the more reason
    to enjoy your current life, then.
[15:43] Catarina
    Oh, I am. In my own way.
[15:47] Catarina
    Compared to Juras, at least,
    I'm downright happy.
[15:49] Clara
    He does seem to be in pain.
[15:52] Catarina
    He doesn't have long left.
[15:54] Catarina
    Because he's a dhampir.
[15:56] Clara
    That's not what I mean.
[15:58] Clara
    Just being alive seems seems
    to be painful for him.
[16:02] Catarina
    True enough.
[16:03] Catarina
    He's been like that as long as I've known him.
[16:06] Catarina
    You see, I was the one
    tasked with training him.
[16:11] Catarina
    It always seemed to me...
[16:13] Catarina
    as if he embodied all the hate in the world.
[16:18] Catarina
    He's a dhampir,
    so he isn't long for this world.
[16:23] Catarina
    I've known him for less than a year,
[16:26] Catarina
    but the time we spent
    together felt like decades.
[16:33] Catarina
    And it was all in the name of
    vengeance for Rosa.
[16:37] Clara
    Rosa.
[16:38] Catarina
    Someone Juras cared about.
[16:40] Clara
    I see. That's a relief.
[16:43] Catarina
    How, exactly?
[16:45] Clara
    It means that even someone
     like him felt love once.
[16:52] Catarina
    You're right. It's enough
    to make you jealous.
[16:57] Catarina
    Oh my.
[16:58] Catarina
    You're so little,
    but you're already a gentleman.
[17:04] Kate
    Unbelievable.
[17:06] Kate
    Of all the inconsiderate,
    self-absorbed nonsense...
[17:10] Henrique
    Easy there. We couldn't
    think of anyone else to ask.
[17:15] Dino
    Entrusting the children
    to the House Classico butler,
[17:18] Dino
    Albrecht, will make this a simple matter.
[17:21] Albrecht
    Of course, sir.
    While you're gone, Lady Kate and I
[17:24] Albrecht
    will guarantee the children's safety.
[17:27] Kate
    Listen, you! I'd rather you
    not go accepting on my behalf.
[17:33] Elena
    Look, it's Mama!
[17:35] Lucia
    Mama!
[17:37] Elena
    Hey, Mama, you're going to
    watch the house with us, right?!
[17:40] Lucia
    Let's play tag!
[17:42] Angelico
    No fair if only Lucia and Elena get to play!
[17:45] Lucia
    Then you boys can play too!
[17:48] Elena
    That'd be okay, wouldn't it, Mama?
[17:52] Kate
    Oh, fine! I get it already, I do!
[17:55] Kate
    Leave the kids to me,
     and you gents go do what you need to.
[17:59] Twins
    Yay!
[18:01] Dali
    Right. We owe you for this.
[18:04] Gerhard
    We know they'll be safe
    in your hands, Lady Kate.
[18:07] Henrique
    Thanks, Katie.
[18:14] Clara
    What is this getup for?
[18:17] Catarina
    Aristocratic Vamps from around the
    world gather for the Clan Festival.
[18:23] Catarina
    If we're going to sneak in,
    dressing up is a must.
[18:27] Johnannes
    But only people with invitations
    can attend the Clan Festival.
[18:32] Juras
    Pendulum has confirmed that your current
    predicament is being kept under wraps.
[18:39] Johannes
    Of course. If it got out that the head
    of House Vlad was taken hostage,
[18:43] Johannes
    it'd humiliate the Blood Pact Council.
[18:48] Juras
    You'll be attending as a guest,
    and we'll be joining you as your servants.
[18:53] Johannes
    You make it sound so simple...
[18:56] Catarina
    Well, whether or not little Ul
    gets home safe depends on you.
[19:00] Catarina
    So you're going to help us.
[19:16] Elena
    Papa, you look so cool!
[19:19] Albrecht
    It suits you well, sir.
[19:22] Lucia
    Hey, Papa, where are you going?
[19:24] Henrique
    Off to work.
[19:25] Elena
    We wanna go too!
[19:28] Henrique
    Sorry, but you can't.
[19:32] Lucia
    Angelico and Raphael,
    you want to go too, right?
[19:36] Lucia
    Come on, please, take us with you!
[19:39] Elena
    Pretty please!
[19:42] Kate
    You two are staying here
    and watching the house.
[19:50] Henrique
    Well, this is no good.
[19:51] Dino
    What should we do?
[19:53] Dali
    A fine question...
[19:57] Theodore
    Don't act so spoiled!
[19:59] Theodore
    Our fathers have important
    business to attend to.
[20:02] Theodore
    And we can't get in their way.
[20:05] Theodore
    I'll play with you instead, okay?
[20:09] Lucia
    You wanna play, Theo?
[20:11] Theodore
    Sure. Tag or hide and seek
    or whatever you want.
[20:14] Lucia
    Then I'll watch the house.
[20:17] Elena
    Me too!
[20:19] Lucia
    Let's go!
[20:22] Theodore
    You can focus on your work
    without worrying about us.
[20:26] Theodore
    I'll protect Raphael,
    Angelico, Lucia, and Elena.
[20:31] Theodore
    Because I'm a proud aristocrat, too.
[20:34] Dali
    Then that is your duty as a noble,
     Sir Theodore.
[20:39] Dino
    Theodore, the nursery is in your hands.
[20:42] Theodore
    Yes, sir!
[20:51] Raphael
    What is it?
[20:52] Theodore
    I-It's nothing.
[20:55] Theodore
    Nothing at all.
[20:59] Henrique
    You really think Pendulum is
    going to show up at the Clan?
[21:03] Gerhard
    They took Lord Johannes with them
    because they still see value in him.
[21:08] Dino
    We're encouraging them with the gag order,
[21:11] Dino
    which will make it easier
     for them to use him as an in.
[21:15] Gerhard
    Right. I'm sure they'll show.
[21:18] Dali
    Whether they do or don't,
    I say we enjoy ourselves
[21:22] Dali
    at the celebration of young vampires.
[21:24] Dali
    A gala for those of the Blood Pact...
[21:26] Dali
    the Clan Festival.

[00:18] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Hey! Wake up, Dali.
[00:22] (Flashback) Dali
    What is it, Gerhard?
[00:24] (Flashback) Gerhard
    You skipped afternoon sword
    practice, didn't you?
[00:28] (Flashback) Dali
    I do believe that may have happened.
[00:31] (Flashback) Gerhard
    The teacher was furious.
[00:34] (Flashback) Dali
    Don't pay him any mind.
[00:37] (Flashback) Dali
    He'd never be so pompous
    to my face, after all.
[00:41] (Flashback) Gerhard
    I swear, you're the only person
    who'd say such things.
[00:44] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Everyone else is busy laboring
     away for the Clan Festival.
[00:47] (Flashback) Dali
    I don't care for the Clan Festival
    on a conceptual level.
[00:50] (Flashback) Dali
    They say it's "a showcase for young Vamps."
[00:53] (Flashback) Dali
    We're not cattle. We're proud vampires.
[00:57] (Flashback) Gerhard
    You only get to say that because
    you're from House Delico.
[01:01] (Flashback) Gerhard
    To aristocrats with less prestige,
[01:03] (Flashback) Gerhard
    the Clan Festival is important
    to securing social mobility.
[01:08] (Flashback) Dali
    In other words, it's nothing to do with me.
[01:11] (Flashback) Gerhard
    So arrogant. And the fact that you're
    always at the top of the class
[01:14] (Flashback) Gerhard
    in both academics and athletics
    just makes it more irritating.
[01:18] (Flashback) Dali
    Like you're any different.
[01:20] (Flashback) Gerhard
    I am a Vamp of House Fra.
    I can't allow myself be outdone by you.
[01:25] (Flashback) Dali
    Say, Gerhard...
[01:27] (Flashback) Gerhard
    What is it?
[01:28] (Flashback) Dali
    What will become of us
    when our cocoon phases are over?
[01:32] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Well... we're going to be adults.
[01:36] (Flashback) Dali
    I see.
[01:38] (Flashback) Dali
    I wouldn't mind staying
    in a cocoon phase forever.
[01:42] (Flashback) Gerhard
    Spare me your distasteful jokes.
[01:45] (Flashback) Dali
    I'm not joking. I'm being quite serious.
[01:54] Gerhard
    Dali?
[01:56] Gerhard
    What's wrong? You've been
    spacing out for a while now.
[01:59] Dali
    Oh, nothing. Just indulging
    in a bit of nostalgia.
[02:03] Henrique
    About your own cocoon phase?
[02:05] Dali
    That's about the size of it.
[02:08] Dino
    Well, it's time to sharpen up.
[02:11] Dino
    We're nearly there.
[02:13] Dali
    The Clan Festival...
    This really takes me back.
[03:21] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[03:55] Sign
    The Clan Festival
[03:56] Henrique
    Man, this place is hopping.
[03:59] Dino
    Of course. The Clan Festival is an
    institution among Vamp celebrations.
[04:05] Anselm
    Well, well! The truly elite
     will be joining us tonight.
[04:09] Dali
    Are you the Clan's chief administrator?
[04:11] Anselm
    My name is Anselm.
[04:13] Anselm
    If you'd contacted us beforehand,
    we'd have prepared a proper welcome.
[04:18] Dali
    I have just one question.
[04:20] Anselm
    Of course, by all means.
[04:23] Dali
    Where can I find Teacher Krauss?
[04:27] Anselm
    Teacher Krauss?
[04:29] Anselm
    Does this mean...
[04:30] Dali
    Yes, I'm afraid it does.
[04:35] Anselm
    All of you, give us some space.
[04:38] Anselm
    Just do it. Right now.
[04:45] Gerhard
    We appreciate your cooperation,
    as fellow agents of the Vlad Agency.
[04:50] Anselm
    I assume this is something
     of an emergency?
[04:52] Dino
    That's what we're here to prevent.
[04:55] Dino
    We made prior arrangements for our operatives
    to infiltrate the Clan's various facilities.
[04:59] Dali
    So, where is Teacher Krauss?
[05:03] Anselm
    I'll locate him at once.
[05:05] Dali
    Once you find him, please let us know.
    Do not make contact.
[05:10] Henrique
    We have no idea what might happen, after all.
[05:13] Anselm
    Of course.
[05:14] Gerhard
    We'll search the Clan's interior.
[05:17] Dino
    Make sure the guests don't notice anything.
[05:21] Dali
    We can't risk causing a panic now.
[05:24] Henrique
    So this is all hush-hush.
[05:27] Anselm
    Understood. May the blood bless you.
[05:36] Henrique
    Now then, we've gotta sniff
     Pendulum out of this crowd, huh?
[05:42] Henrique
    It's making my head spin.
[05:58] Juras
    And you're sure TRUMP is somewhere in here?
[06:02] Johannes
    I wouldn't lie. Teacher Krauss...
[06:06] Johannes
    That's what he goes by here,
     and that man is actually our god.
[06:11] Juras
    Krauss...
[06:17] Catarina
    Excuse me, boys.
[06:20] Student 1
    Yes?
[06:21] Catarina
    Would you happen to know
    where Teacher Krauss is?
[06:25] Student 1
    Teacher Krauss?
[06:27] Student 2
    We couldn't tell you.
[06:29] Student 3
    Teacher Krauss is a real oddball.
[06:32] Student 2
    There's no telling where he
    might have wandered off.
[07:50] Dali
    I've heard that, among the various Clans,
     this one has the most history.
[07:56] Dali
    It's a good Clan.
[07:58] Dali
    I happen to have two sons of my own.
[08:01] Dali
    When they're old enough
    to enter their cocoon phases,
[08:05] Dali
    it might be nice to enroll them here.
[08:21] Krauss
    I'd advise... not getting involved with me.
[08:34] Dali
    Teacher Krauss!
[08:42] Dali
    Where are you?
[08:43] Dali
    Krauss!
[08:44] Dali
    Where'd you go?!
[08:46] Frida
    Dali...
[08:51] Frida
    Dali.
[08:55] Dali
    Frida.
[09:02] Dali
    Wait...
[09:04] Dali
    Don't go, Frida!
[09:06] Dali
    Please wait! Don't leave me alone!
[09:13] Frida
    Dali, I love you.
[09:21] Dali
    I didn't want to lose you.
[09:25] Frida
    Dali...
[09:26] Frida
    I'll never leave you alone again.
[09:31] Dali
    Frida...
[09:58] Dali
    All Vamps are mentally linked to TRUMP.
[10:03] Dali
    When the TRUE OF VAMP loses hope,
    that gets transmitted to us.
[10:09] Dali
    I must've resonated with his despair.
[10:13] Dali
    I expected as much,
    but this isn't going to be easy.
[10:30] Dali
    Ul?
[10:33] Dali
    Ul... I used to find your crying
     to be troublesome,
[10:37] Dali
    but that's not at all the case.
[10:40] Dali
    Your cries are my hope.
[10:50] Gerhard
    What did you turn up?
[10:52] Henrique
    Nothing. No clues, and nothing
    to report from our agents.
[10:59] Gerhard
    It's too crowded here...
[11:01] Henrique
    I mean, it is the Clan Festival.
[11:04] Henrique
    That's probably why they picked today.
[11:07] Henrique
    I imagine we'll need reinforcements.
[11:10] Gerhard
    No. The bigger the moves we make,
    the greater the risk of being noticed.
[11:17] Dino
    Is that... Ul?
[11:25] Dali
    Gerhard!
[11:27] Gerhard
    Ul's somewhere nearby.
[11:29] Dali
    Yes, and they're bound to be with him.
[11:32] Dino
    Lord Johannes?
[11:45] Catarina
    Oh my.
[11:47] Catarina
    Fancy running into you here.
[11:53] Dino
    I have you now, you lowly fiends.
[12:00] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[12:10] Juras
    That should be pain enough
     to make you scream. I'm impressed.
[12:17] Juras
    You're liable to die from
    blood loss, you realize?
[12:25] Juras
    So damned strong...!
[12:35] Juras
    The cocoon phase is so strange.
[12:38] Juras
    The impressionability it causes
[12:40] Juras
    results in a stronger mental link
     with the TRUE OF VAMP.
[12:45] Juras
    So do you think TRUMP can be found
    somewhere in this vast mental landscape?
[12:52] Dino
    You have irregular abilities.
[12:54] Juras
    I do.
[12:55] Juras
    I can layer my mind atop of someone else's,
    merging them together.
[13:01] Juras
    In other words, I can enter people's minds.
[13:05] Dino
    How lowbrow.
[13:07] Juras
    I have to say, your mind's pretty interesting.
[13:11] Juras
    Is that supposed to be you?
[13:19] Juras
    You try to make yourself appear that grand.
[13:23] Juras
    I guess that's the pomp that comes
    from being born into a prestigious family.
[13:27] Dino
    Shut up!
[13:29] Juras
    But in reality...
[13:32] Juras
    Look how small you are. This is the real you.
[13:51] Dino
    Hold it!
[14:01] Johannes
    We'll see to Sir Dino.
[14:03] Johannes
    Go after Pendulum.
[14:05] Dali
    Got it. Let's go, Gerhard!
[14:08] Gerhard
    Right.
[14:24] Guest
    Who are they?
[14:30] Dali
    A fencing match? How nostalgic.
[14:50] Dali
    I know this is sudden,
    but I'd like to demonstrate
[14:54] Dali
    proper sword handling
    for the young Vamps here.
[15:21] Dali
    Maybe I should've attended
    lessons more often...
[15:24] Gerhard
    This is no time for banter!
[15:27] Dali
    Let's work together.
[15:28] Gerhard
    How strange to hear that from you,
    given your history of showboating!
[15:32] Dali
    Not satisfied?
[15:34] Gerhard
    We don't really have a choice!
[15:46] Henrique
    What's all the commotion?
[15:51] Dali
    Now!
[16:07] Catarina
    They're pushing you.
[16:09] Juras
    Well, it's two on one.
[16:11] Catarina
    Want some help?
[16:13] Juras
    No. I can get surefire
    assistance from someone else.
[16:18] Juras
    Now we're even.
[16:22] Teacher B
    Gentlemen, we're in the
    middle of a competition.
[16:24] Teacher A
    What do you think you're doing?
[16:27] Teacher C
    Who are you people?
[16:28] Teacher A
    What are elite aristocrats
    doing in a place like this?
[16:32] Dali
    Sorry for the ruckus.
[16:34] Gerhard
    After them, Dali!
[16:35] Dali
    Do excuse us.
[16:40] Catarina
    Looks like we managed to give them the slip.
[16:43] Henrique
    It's never that easy, is it?
[16:46] Catarina
    Persistent, aren't you?
[16:48] Henrique
    Now, how about you hand little Ul over?
[16:51] Catarina
    You don't really look much like a caregiver.
[16:55] Henrique
    Despite appearances...
[16:56] Henrique
    I love kids!
[17:07] Juras
    You seem more like one of us.
[17:10] Henrique
    And what do you mean by that?
[17:15] Juras
    Let's see what you're really like.
[17:19] Henrique
    Whoa, whoa, whoa...
[17:22] Henrique
    Huh, interesting.
[17:25] Henrique
    So this is the manifestation
    of your cocoon phase.
[17:28] Henrique
    Lets you into people's minds,
     by the look of it.
[17:31] Juras
    Precisely. And yours seems pretty
    barren, by the look of it.
[17:36] Henrique
    Boring, right?
    It's been like this most of my life.
[17:40] Henrique
    Just look.
[17:44] Henrique
    I dressed how my parents told me,
    forced a smile when they expected it,
[17:48] Henrique
    and lived according to their wishes.
[17:51] Henrique
    Even marrying Kate was their idea.
[17:55] Henrique
    Joining the Blood Pact Council
    was to please them.
[18:00] Henrique
    That's just how it goes
     when you're an aristocrat.
[18:03] Henrique
    You have to live for your prestigious
    family, not for yourself.
[18:08] Henrique
    I actually envy you.
[18:10] Henrique
    Because you chose to be here.
[18:14] Henrique
    That said...
[18:19] Henrique
    I've enjoyed working with Dali-boy.
[18:21] Henrique
    He keeps getting me involved in
    things I never could've predicted.
[18:25] Henrique
    Fighting you to the death like this...
[18:28] Henrique
    I wouldn't have even dreamed of it
    as the marionette I used to be.
[18:32] Henrique
    I'm trying to kill you right now,
     because that's what I want.
[18:50] Henrique
    Come to think of it,
    Lucia and Elena are the same way.
[18:54] Henrique
    When I'm with them,
    nothing seems to go as planned.
[18:58] Henrique
    I'm a pretty cool customer, and they get
    to me. Which is probably why I enjoy...
[19:03] Henrique
    raising kids so much!
[19:12] Henrique
    You'll understand when you're a parent.
[19:14] Henrique
    Oh, but then again,
     dhampirs don't live very long, right?
[19:36] Henrique
    Now that's more like it.
[19:47] Dino
    Where am I?
[19:48] Clara
    Thank goodness. You're awake.
[19:52] Clara
    Lord Johannes, what's happened with Pendulum?
[19:56] Johannes
    They've yet to be captured.
[19:58] Johannes
    Sir Dali and the others are pursuing them.
[20:02] Dino
    Then I can't just sit here.
[20:05] Johannes
    That's quite enough. We've applied
    first aid, but you're still badly injured.
[20:10] Johannes
    Leave the rest to your teammates.
[20:13] Dino
    No.
[20:15] Dino
    Although it doesn't compare
     to the Delico name,
[20:17] Dino
    House Classico is a family
     with a great legacy.
[20:21] Dino
    I cannot be outdone by Sir Dali.
[20:25] Dino
    This is a matter of personal pride.
    I ask for your understanding.
[20:31] Clara
    Mr. Dino...
[20:33] Clara
    I'm relieved to see that the
    master has a friend like you.
[20:38] Dino
    A friend?
[20:39] Clara
    He's so often the object
     of others' hate and envy,
[20:42] Clara
    just for being born a Delico.
[20:46] Clara
    You could count the number of people
    who see him as a rival on one hand.
[20:54] Dino
    I won't be beaten.
[20:56] Clara
    Of course. Even I've fantasized about
    someone wiping that smug look off his face.
[21:02] Dino
    I see.
[21:04] Dino
    Then allow me the honor
     of taking care of that smug face of his.
[21:16] Catarina
    Juras! Hey, are you all right?
[21:19] Juras
    I'm out of time. I think I'm dying...
[21:32] Juras
    But I've finally found you...
[21:39] Juras
    The TRUE OF VAMP.
[21:44] Juras
    The authentic vampire.

[00:17] Catarina
    Juras!
[00:18] Catarina
    Hey, are you all right?
[00:21] Juras
    I'm out of time. I think I'm dying.
[00:27] Juras
    But...
[00:32] Juras
    I've finally found you...
[00:35] Juras

    Delico's Nursery
SIGN    Sweet Dreams
[02:10] Juras
    We meet at last, Krauss.
[02:13] Juras
    Or rather... TRUE OF VAMP!
[02:16] Juras
    The authentic vampire.
[02:21] Catarina
    My, what's wrong?
[02:24] Guest A
    H-Hey...
[02:25] Guest A
    Are you quite all right?
[02:27] Juras
    Don't touch me!
[02:32] Catarina
    Juras, don't! Not here!
[02:43] Juras
    You... abomination!
[02:47] Guest B
    Hey, that guy stabbed him.
[02:48] Guest D
    What'd you say?
[02:49] Guest B
    Someone! Get a guard!
[02:51] Guest D
    Hey, get away from him!
[02:54] Krauss
    There's nothing to worry about, everyone.
[02:58] Krauss
    Please forget about it.
[03:02] Guest B
    Huh? What were we doing?
[03:05] Guest A
    Y-Yeah...
[03:07] Guest B
    We should go. The equestrian
    show will be starting soon.
[03:10] Guets A
    Good point. Let's hurry.
[03:13] Catarina
    Was that...?
[03:15] Juras
    It was your initiative.
[03:21] Juras
    Wait!
[03:24] Catarina
    Juras!
[03:26] Juras
    After him!
[03:40] Dali
    Ul!
[03:42] Dali
    Ul, cry as hard as you can right now!
[03:45] Dali
    I'll be there soon!
[03:54] Juras
    Wait!
[03:56] Juras
    According to legend,
     the god of all vamps, TRUMP,
[03:59] Juras
    stands at top of the initiative chain.
[04:04] Juras
    Why did you erase their memories?
[04:11] Krass
    I don't really like using initiative.
[04:15] Krass
    It's not like you're my slaves.
[04:21] Krass
    But I'd rather avoid a commotion.
[04:25] Krass
    It's that simple.
[04:27] Juras
    Then here's another question.
    Why did you kill everyone in Nebula Village?
[04:32] Krauss
    What are you talking about?
[04:34] Juras
    I'm talking about the town you slaughtered!
[04:36] Juras
    I'm a survivor of Nebula Village!
[04:39] Krauss
    Nebula Village?
[04:42] Juras
    Don't tell me you forgot!
[04:45] Krauss
    It's less that, and more
    that I just don't remember.
[04:48] Krauss
    I can't be expected
    to recall every little thing.
[04:55] Catarina
    Juras?
[05:33] Catarina
    He really is... a genuinely immortal vampire.
[05:39] Juras
    I can't destroy your body,
    but I can destroy your mind.
[05:45] Juras
    This is the reason I reverted
    to my cocoon phase.
[05:58] Juras
    What the...?
[06:11] Juras
    Where is he?!
[06:13] Juras
    Where is this thing's consciousness?
[06:15] Juras
    Nothing...
[06:17] Juras
    Nothing.
[06:18] Juras
    Nothing!
[06:19] Juras
    There's nothing in any of these!
[06:22] Juras
    What is going on?!
    Does it have no consciousness?!
[06:26] Juras
    That can't be.
[06:28] Juras
    Every living thing has to have one!
[06:38] Juras
    What is that?
[07:23] Henrique
    What's... happening?
[07:27] Guest A
    What the...
[07:28] Guest B
    I can't stop crying.
[07:31] Dino
    This bodes extremely poorly.
[07:34] Clara
    Lord Johannes, why are you crying?
[07:37] Johannes
    Why, indeed?
[07:38] Johannes
    I believe the thing we've been dreading
    is on the verge of coming to pass.
[07:44] Gerhard
    The self-destruction phenomena...
[07:46] Gerhard
    Is this is a sign of a collapse?!
[08:01] Juras
    Dali Delico!
[08:03] Dali
    You know what they say about
    letting sleeping gods lie.
[08:06] Dali
    And with our vampiric deity,
    I'd say it's all the more true.
[08:09] Dali
    The Vlad Agency exists to watch over TRUMP.
[08:13] Dali
    And if anyone is foolish enough
     to try to make contact...
[08:17] Dali
    We eliminate them.
[08:20] Catarina
    Don't move!
[08:21] Catarina
    If you do...
[08:23] Catarina
    there's no telling what
    will happen to little Ul here!
[08:29] Juras
    You'd choose that runt over
    the survival of your kind?!
[08:44] Gerhard
    Cease your mockery!
[08:45] Gerhard
    You stand before the head of the
    prestigious house of Delico, Dali Delico!
[08:50] Gerhard
    And I am Gerhard Fra,
    head of the equally prestigious House Fra.
[08:56] Juras
    So, you elite snobs are willing to let
    the brat die for the sake of your mission?
[09:02] Gerhard
    A preposterous question. We were tasked with
    balancing our mission and child-rearing.
[09:07] Gerhard
    And that would be impossible
    without one of the children.
[09:10] Henrique
    We haven't given up on raising the kids
     or protecting our people.
[09:15] Dino
    This, too, is noblesse oblige.
[09:18] Dino
    There's nowhere to run. Surrender.
[09:23] Juras
    Not yet.
[09:25] Juras
    This isn't over yet!
[09:29] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[09:47] Dali
    Cease this pointless resistance.
[09:50] Dali
    You don't have enough strength left to fight.
[09:55] Juras
    All I wanted was revenge...
[09:57] Juras
    To punish TRUMP for what it did.
[10:01] Krauss
    I've already been punished.
[10:05] Krauss
    For millennia now, I've been living that out.
[10:12] Juras
    Are you saying... that eternal
    life is your sentence?
[10:16] Juras
    When my dhampir friends so desperately
    wanted to live and couldn't?
[10:20] Juras
    Are you saying the immortality that
    Rosa longed for is a punishment?
[10:24] Juras
    Damn you...
[10:27] Juras
    Damn you!
[10:33] Catarina
    What are you—
[10:34] Juras
    Don't move!
[10:39] Juras
    I don't have long left.
[10:42] Juras
    But if nothing else, Dali Delico,
    at the very least, I'll punish you!
[10:52] Gerhard
    Dali!
[10:55] Juras
    You won't make it in time.
[10:57] Juras
    Now... it's over!
[11:08] Juras
    C-Catarina...
[11:13] Catarina
    Thank you, Dali Delico.
[11:16] Catarina
    For realizing what I wanted to do
     and distracting Juras.
[11:21] Dali
    It was nothing. If anything,
    I should thank you.
[11:24] Juras
    The hell... are you doing?
[11:27] Catarina
    By my initiative, I command you...
[11:31] Catarina
    Give Ul back to me.
[11:49] Catarina
    Such a sweet boy.
[11:53] Catarina
    There's really no resemblance to you, though.
[11:55] Catarina
    He must take after his mother.
[11:59] Dali
    Hello there. You've grown
    a bit since I last saw you.
[12:07] Henrique
    Damn it!
[12:09] Dino
    A smoke screen, of all the cheap tricks...
[12:12] Gerhard
    Dali, is Ul all right?
[12:17] Dali
    Yes, just as you'd expect
    from a son of Dali Delico.
[12:22] Henrique
    Given the condition he's in,
    that Juras guy won't get far.
[12:26] Gerhard
    After him!
[12:32] Dino
    The TRUE OF VAMP.
[12:34] Dino
    Our god.
[12:38] Dino
    Why do you pretend to be a teacher here?
[12:44] Krauss
    I mean... I'm just passing the time.
[12:48] Krauss
    Eternity is boring.
[12:51] Dino
    Your peace of mind is linked
    to peace of mind for all of Vamp society.
[12:57] Dino
    We of the Vlad Agency stand guard
     for that explicit purpose.
[13:02] Krauss
    Yes, I know. You're welcome to do so.
[13:06] Krauss
    It's no concern of mine.
[13:11] Dino
    We shall stake our lives and pride to ensure
[13:14] Dino
    that your boredom continues in perpetuity.
[13:28] Krauss
    Hey.
[13:31] Krauss
    Are you hungry again already?
[13:37] (Flashback) Worshipper A
    TRUMP! God of all Vamps!
[13:38] Worshipper B
    Please, grant us salvation!
[13:40] (Flashback) Worshipper C
    Share your immortality with us!
[13:42] Worshipper D
    Make us eternally young...
[13:44] (Flashback) Worshipper A
    Please, make us your immortal kindred!
[13:48] Krauss
    So tiresome.
[13:54] Angelico
    Raphael!
[13:55] Angelico
    Raphael, are you okay?
[13:57] Elena
    We can't play tag if you fall over!
[14:02] Lucia
    Are you gonna cry?
[14:03] Elena
    Are you crying, Raphael?
[14:07] Raphael
    I'm not crying.
[14:09] Raphael
    I'm not... gonna cry from falling over.
[14:11] Raphael
    My father is working hard,
    so I have to try hard too!
[14:16] Theodore
    That's great, Raphael.
    I'm sure your father will be proud.
[14:21] Raphael
    He will?
[14:26] Elena
    Why are you crying, Angelico?
[14:28] Lucia
    Raphael was the one who fell.
[14:30] Angelico
    But...
[14:32] Angelico
    I cry when it hurts, so for Raphael not to...
    That's amazing!
[14:41] Elena
    You're always so quick to tears, Angelico.
[14:44] Lucia
    Angelico the crybaby.
[14:46] Theodore
    Can you stand?
[14:48] Raphael
    Yeah.
[14:53] Raphael
    I...
[14:54] Raphael
    can stand on my own.
[14:58] Juras
    Forget about me.
    You should take yourself and escape.
[15:03] Catarina
    Don't be ridiculous! I can't
    abandon one of our own to run!
[15:08] Juras
    I'm not one of you.
[15:10] Juras
    I just used you all...
[15:14] Juras
    for my own agenda.
[15:18] Catarina
    Okay, time to get up! We're running.
[15:23] Juras
    You're being unreasonable.
[15:25] Juras
    I don't have long left. In fact,
    I stuck around longer than most dhampirs do.
[15:30] Catarina
    Just get up already!
    We're going to run and start over!
[15:35] Juras
    If you're convinced that's an option,
     then force me to do it.
[15:41] Juras
    You have initiative over me, remember?
    Just use it to command me.
[15:55] Juras
    What's wrong? Go ahead and give the order.
[15:59] Catarina
    By my initiative, I command you...
[16:03] Catarina
    to live.
[16:08] Catarina
    Please live...
    You can't die in a place like this.
[16:15] Juras
    If a command is impossible,
    not even initiative can compel it.
[16:21] Juras
    Tough break.
[16:29] Gerhard
    Your luck has run out.
    There's nowhere left to flee.
[16:32] Catarina
    Wait!
[16:34] Catarina
    Please. We're done running.
[16:36] Catarina
    Just let him pass in peace.
[16:44] Juras
    You people... aristocrats always looking
    down on the rest of us from on high.
[16:51] Juras
    If nothing else...
    I'm taking one of you with me...
[16:57] Catarina
    Juras!
[17:00] Catarina
    That's enough. You can stop now, Shad.
[17:05] Juras
    I suppose this is a fitting
    death for refuse like me...
[17:10] Dali
    Catarina, was it?
    I have a request of you as well.
[17:15] Gerhard
    Dali, what are you doing?
[17:24] Catarina
    Are you sure about this, Dali Delico?
[17:27] Dali
    It's fine.
[17:29] Dali
    Our entire race is subject to the
    whims of a particularly selfish god.
[17:35] Dali
    The world itself is unjust.
[17:39] Dali
    This fellow was simply one who suffered
    at the hands of our unjust world.
[17:44] Dali
    And with that... this is the least we can do.
[17:52] Catarina
    By my initiative, I command...
[17:56] Catarina
    Shad Juras.
[17:58] Catarina
    After losing your friends and your village,
     you've done nothing but suffer.
[18:06] Catarina
    So here, at the very end,
    you should get to enjoy sweet dreams.
[18:11] Catarina
    Nostalgic dreams of home.
[18:25] Carlo
    Hey, Shad!
[18:28] Carlo
    What are you doing?
[18:29] Thorsten
    We'll leave you behind if you don't hurry up!
[18:34] Rosa
    Let's go together, Shad!
[18:47] Rosa
    Are you okay?
[18:50] Shad
    Yeah. Sorry.
[18:53] Rosa
    You can be kind of clumsy at times, Shad.
[18:56] Shad
    Y-Yeah.
[18:59] Shad
    Rosa, Carlo, Thorsten... Everyone!
[19:06] Shad
    I've missed you.
[19:08] Shad
    I've missed you for so long!
[19:11] Carlo
    You missed us?
[19:13] Thorsten
    But we're always together.
[19:27] Thorsten
    Is there something over there?
[19:29] Carlo
    Were you with someone?
[19:32] Shad
    I'm not sure, but... it feels
    like I had a really long dream.
[19:37] Rosa
    A dream?
[19:38] Shad
    Yeah. Really more of a nightmare.
[19:41] Shad
    But...
[19:43] Shad
    It wasn't all bad.
[19:46] Rosa
    Shad?
[19:47] Rosa
    Thank you.
[19:49] Shad
    Huh? What are you thanking me for?
[19:51] Carlo
    Come on, Shad. It's time to get going.
[19:54] Shad
    R-Right.
[20:08] Thorsten
    Thanks again, Shad.
[20:11] Carlo
    Yeah, thank you.
[20:14] Shad
    You're creeping me out.
    What did I do to earn all this thanks?
[20:19] Thorsten
    Oh, don't worry about it.
[20:21] Rosa
    That's right.
[20:23] Rosa
    Thanks for everything, Shad.
[20:43] Henrique
    Looks like he's having sweet dreams.
[20:47] Dino
    Showing mercy to an enemy...
[20:49] Gerhard
    It's not as if it impeded the mission.
[20:54] Dino
    I wasn't chastising the idea.
[20:57] Catarina
    My cocoon phase makes it so that any
    emotion I feel seems like happiness.
[21:04] Catarina
    But, and I'm not sure why, today I feel
    so sad and lonely I don't know what to do.
[21:13] Catarina
    So... no more.
[21:21] Dino
    Poison?
[21:28] Dali
    Catarina.
[21:31] Dali
    I'm afraid the time for sentimentality
    is over. We're taking you into custody.
[21:37] Dali
    There's no escape.
    You'll be paying for your crimes.
[21:42] Dali
    From here on is where your punishment begins.

    Delico's Nursery
SIGN    Goodbye, Nursery
[01:40] Raphael
    Thank you.
[01:42] Angelico
    Say...
[01:45] Angelico
    Remember how we were kidnapped
    when we were younger?
[01:49] Raphael
    Kidnapped? What are you talking about?
[01:51] Angelico
    You don't recall?
[01:52] Raphael
    How young are we talking?
[01:55] Angelico
    Young enough that it's kind of a blur, but...
[01:58] Angelico
    Oh, right, the nursery!
[02:02] Raphael
    The nursery?
[02:03] Angelico
    Yeah. Where we lived together for a time.
[02:08] Raphael
    We lived together? You and me?
[02:11] Angelico
    Our fathers were working
    out of the nursery at the Delico estate.
[02:15] Angelico
    It's funny, though... It's so hazy to me.
[02:18] Raphael
    Don't tell me you've reverted
     to your cocoon phase.
[02:23] Raphael
    Though, in your case, I sometimes
    wonder if yours ever ended.
[02:27] Angelico
    Don't even joke about that!
     I never want to go through one again.
[02:32] Raphael
    I'm almost done here, so give me a moment.
[02:38] Angelico
    I have to say, our bosses certainly
    enjoy pushing Vamps to their limits.
[02:42] Raphael
    We may be elite nobles,
    but everyone here starts out the same.
[02:47] Raphael
    It is what it is.
[02:48] Angelico
    I know we're technically new,
[02:50] Angelico
    but we've been on the Blood Pact
    Council for four years now.
[02:53] Angelico
    Once we move up in the world,
[02:55] Angelico
    I can't wait to work
    these smug fools to the bone.
[02:58] Raphael
    You really want to get promoted
    for such a petty goal?
[03:02] Raphael
    We're aristocrats.
    No, we're more than just that.
[03:06] Raphael
    We have an obligation
    to stand taller than anyone else.
[03:09] Raphael
    Which means we're obliged to both
     other people and society as a whole.
[03:15] Angelico
    I know. Noblesse oblige, right?
[03:20] Angelico
    My dad and your father made quite
    a pair in the eyes of the Blood Pact Council.
[03:25] Angelico
    Respected and feared by all.
    I hope we can be like that some day.
[03:32] Raphael
    No, I don't intend to follow after my father.
[03:38] Raphael
    I want to outdo him.
[03:40] Raphael
    And with your help, I think I just might.
[03:43] Angelico
    What an embarrassing thing to say.
[03:46] Raphael
    I'm being sincere. Is that a problem?
[03:49] Angelico
    Nah. But you know, you're right.
    Surpassing Dali Delico and Gerhard Fra...
[03:55] Angelico
    It's quite the goal,
    but we should go for it.
[03:57] Angelico
    One day, we'll take our place
    at the head of the Blood Pact Council.
[04:02] Angelico
    And together, we'll protect Vamp society.
[04:06] Raphael
    All right, all done.
[04:09] Raphael
    We should be able to make it in time.
[04:11] Angelico
    Right. It's been ages
    since we all met up together.
[04:22] Sophie
    I thought it was never going to end...
[04:26] Ul
    What are you talking about?
[04:28] Sophie
    My cocoon phase.
[04:29] Sophie
    I really thought we might be trapped
    in a cocoon phase that would never end.
[04:34] Ul
    Yeah. It was hard to imagine
     life on the other side,
[04:38] Ul
    much less how I'd be when it was over.
[04:41] Ul
    And yet, here we are finally.
[04:44] Ul
    We're adults now.
[04:53] Elena
    They are so late!
[04:55] Lucia
    Oh, isn't that them?
[04:57] Elena
    What? Where?
[04:59] Elena
    Hey!
[05:00] Elena
    Over here, over here!
[05:02] Angelico
    Lucia, Elena... It's been a while.
[05:05] Elena
    And what, pray tell, is your excuse
    for keeping a pair of ladies waiting?
[05:09] Raphael
    Sorry, sorry. I had a hard
    time wrapping up work.
[05:13] Angelico
    You two haven't changed at all.
[05:15] Raphael
    I think the last we saw each other
    was before you enrolled at the Clan.
[05:19] Elena
    It's been twelve years.
[05:21] Lucia
    I'm glad to see you're both doing well,
    Angelico and Raphael.
[05:26] Theodore
    Whoops, whoa there... Oh no...
[05:29] Theodore
    Excuse me...
[05:31] Angelico
    Is that...
[05:32] Raphael
    It's Theodore.
[05:35] Angelico
    What is he doing?
[05:36] Lucia
    Looks like he hasn't changed either.
[05:42] Raphael
    Good to see you again, Theodore.
[05:45] Theodore
    My, it really is.
[05:47] Theodore
    Angelico, Lucia, Elena.
[05:50] Elena
    What are you carrying?
[05:53] Theodore
    I stopped at the bookstore
    since I was in town.
[05:55] Theodore
    A few tomes caught my eye.
[05:57] Raphael
    Talk about a real surprise.
[05:58] Raphael
    To think the heir to the famous
    House Classico would become a writer...
[06:03] Angelico
    Then again, it does sort of make sense.
[06:06] Theodore
    Indeed.
[06:07] Theodore
    Most nobles join the Blood Pact Council,
    but that's not the only path available to us.
[06:14] Theodore
    It can't hurt for there to be
    a few people like me.
[06:17] Raphael
    Yeah. It really does suit you.
[06:20] Lucia
    Oh, I think this is the train.
[06:34] Raphael
    Ul!
[06:36] Ul
    Brother!
[06:44] Ul
    I'm home.
[06:45] Raphael
    Welcome back. Looks like you've finally
    made it through your cocoon phase.
[06:49] Ul
    Yeah.
[06:51] Raphael
    You're taller. Maybe even bigger than me now.
[06:55] Ul
    You think?
[06:58] Ul
    Raphael, don't...
[06:59] Raphael
    My tiny little brother has grown so much!
[07:02] Ul
    Stop it. It's embarrassing.
[07:05] Raphael
    Forgive me.
[07:06] Lucia
    Hey, you don't get to monopolize Ul!
[07:10] Elena
    That's right!
[07:11] Elena
    The whole reason we met up like this
    was to welcome him back from the Clan.
[07:16] Raphael
    Sorry, sorry.
[07:18] Angelico
    It's been a while, Ul.
[07:20] Theodore
    I'm glad we could all come together.
[07:22] Ul
    Yeah, it's nice to see everyone.
[07:25] Ul
    By the way, there's someone
    I want to introduce you to.
[07:29] Ul
    We were at the Clan together.
[07:31] Sophie
    I'm Sophie Anderson.
[07:33] Raphael
    Raphael Delico. I imagine
    you looked after my brother.
[07:37] Sophie
    N-No, if anything,
    it was the other way around.
[07:40] Ul
    I enrolled first, but we ended up
    coming out of our cocoon phases together,
[07:46] Ul
    so we left at the same time.
[07:48] Lucia
    Say, I'm not one to stand around and chat,
    so let's go find somewhere to sit.
[07:53] Angelico
    I've made a reservation
    at a nearby restaurant.
[07:56] Raphael
    Will there be a seat for our new guest?
[07:58] Angelico
    I know the owners. It'll be fine.
[08:01] Raphael
    Sophie, would you care to join us?
[08:04] Sophie
    No, I should really get—
[08:07] Raphael
    What are you saying?
[08:08] Raphael
    You're fresh out of your cocoon phase, no?
[08:11] Raphael
    In that case, we're celebrating as much
    for you as we are for Ul.
[08:16] Sophie
    But...
[08:18] Theodore
    It's all right. These are all kind people.
[08:21] Theodore
    Don't be shy.
[08:22] Angelico
    Congratulations getting
     through your cocoon phase.
[08:25] Elena
    My, look at what's become
    of Angelico the crybaby!
[08:29] Angelico
    Wh-Who're you calling a crybaby?!
[08:31] Elena
    I mean, you used to cry all the time.
[08:34] Elena
    Didn't he, Lucia?
[08:36] Lucia
    Yes, he certainly did.
[08:37] Angelico
    How rude! I was just a kid back then!
[09:16] Theodore
    Well, Angelico, we should be off.
[09:18] Angelico
    Right.
[09:20] Sophie
    I'll take my leave as well.
[09:25] Ul
    That was so much fun.
[09:26] Raphael
    Wasn't it?
[09:27] Ul
    You know, we should meet up like
    this again from time to time.
[09:32] Raphael
    Yeah.
[09:34] Raphael
    Ul...
[09:35] Ul
    What is it?
[09:37] Raphael
    To be honest,
[09:38] Raphael
    I was worried about how you'd fare
    at the Clan during your cocoon phase.
[09:44] Raphael
    But it seems there was no need.
[09:47] Raphael
    Much like Angelico was there for me,
     you had a friend with you as well.
[09:53] Ul
    Yeah. He's my best friend.
[09:56] Ul
    And he always will be.
[10:00] Raphael
    Well, we should make for the estate.
[10:03] Raphael
    I'm sure Father can't wait to see you, too.
[10:05] Ul
    Right.
[11:05] Ul
    Dad, where have you been?
    The baby's already here!
[11:08] Clara
    Indeed! And what a healthy little boy he is!
[11:39] Dali
    Just a dream...
[11:40] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[11:48] (Flashback) Dali
    Raphael.
[11:50] (Flashback) Dali
    Your mother has gone far away
    and won't be coming home.
[11:54] (Flashback) Raphael
    Father...?
[11:58] (Flashback) Dali
    From now on, Ul here will be
     your little brother.
[12:01] (Flashback) Dali
    Grow strong, Raphael.
    Strong enough that you can protect Ul.
[12:07] (Flashback) Raphael
    Me? Protect Ul?
[12:13] Dali
    I can only wonder what
    kind of future awaits you.
[12:17] Dali
    And I can't wait to see it.
[12:21] Dali
    Don't you agree, Frida?
[12:24] Dali
    When Raphael and Ul make it through
    their cocoon phases and become adults,
[12:28] Dali
    what kind of lives will they lead?
[12:30] Dali
    What will be their undoing?
[12:33] Dali
    I intend to watch it all play out,
    as I know you wanted to.
[12:38] Dali
    I'd rather not lose anyone else.
[12:48] Kiki
    So he's dead, huh?
[12:50] Catarina
    He is.
[12:53] Kiki
    Well, he kind of pissed me off,
    so I guess that's fine.
[12:57] Catarina
    I had a feeling you'd say that, Kiki.
[13:00] Kiki
    I guess Dali Delico isn't all bad, though.
[13:02] Kiki
    Letting him pass in a nice dream and all.
[13:06] Catarina
    I don't know what kind of dream it was,
[13:09] Catarina
    but I'm pretty sure it was a pleasant one.
[13:11] Kiki
    Sounds like a pretty good end for a bad guy.
[13:16] Catarina
    Say, Kiki...
[13:17] Kiki
    Hmm? What?
[13:18] Catarina
    What's your dream?
[13:21] Kiki
    My dream?
[13:22] Catarina
    Right. Is there anything you want to
    become or anything you want to do?
[13:27] Kiki
    I already told you. What I want...
[13:30] Kiki
    is for my cocoon phase to never end.
[13:34] Kiki
    I want it to last forever and never grow up.
[13:38] Kiki
    I heard Keith has been asleep
    ever since what happened.
[13:41] Kiki
    I bet he's enjoying an eternal
    cocoon phase now. I'm jealous.
[13:47] Kiki
    I want to always be in my cocoon
    phase... That's my dream.
[13:52] Catarina
    I would love to see you grown up, personally.
[13:55] Kiki
    I don't even wanna imagine it!
[13:58] Kiki
    But I guess there's no point fighting it...
[14:01] Catarina
    Not given our situation, no.
[14:04] Kiki
    This'll be the end of my
     cocoon phase, after all.
[14:08] Catarina
    What?!
[14:14] Catarina
    What was that?
[14:16] Kiki
    It's gone quiet.
[14:20] Raider
    Get out.
[14:31] Catarina
    Goodness, you've certainly
    made a mess of things.
[14:34] Raider
    We need to move. Now.
[14:35] Catarina
    Is this on the boss's orders?
[14:38] Raider
    It just means you still have some use.
[14:41] Kiki
    Guess so!
[14:43] Kiki
    Looks like my cocoon phase
    isn't over just yet.
[14:50] Johannes
    I see.
[14:51] Johannes
    Snatched right out from under us, eh?
[14:54] Dino
    Correct.
[14:55] Dino
    Given what happened,
    we can assume it was an ambush.
[15:00] Henrique
    Which means the transit route was leaked.
[15:03] Johannes
    Have we heard anything about the
    Pendulum members who escaped?
[15:06] Henrique
    Not a peep.
[15:08] Henrique
    I guess we just have to wait
    for them to make a move.
[15:12] Henrique
    And after all it took to catch them...
[15:14] Dino
    We can't deny the possibility of a spy
    within the Police of the Blood.
[15:19] Dino
    We can probably assume that
    there are TRUMP worshipers
[15:22] Dino
    of the primordial faith scattered
    all through society as well.
[15:26] Johannes
    Indeed.
[15:27] Henrique
    I suppose it's not going to be easy
[15:29] Henrique
    to ensure the god of Vamps gets
    to walk through eternity with peace of mind.
[15:35] Dino
    Sir Henrique and I will begin
    inspecting the Police of the Blood.
[15:40] Dino
    We must smoke out these rogue elements.
[15:43] Johannes
    I see. I appreciate your efforts.
[15:46] Henrique
    It's not a big deal.
    We'll just try and enjoy ourselves.
[15:49] Dino
    We will simply execute our duties
    as members of the Vlad Agency.
[15:53] Johannes
    I've turned my house over to Karel,
    my son, and am now retired.
[15:58] Johannes
    All I can really do is watch
    as you do your jobs.
[16:03] Johannes
    I'm curious. Where are Dali and Gerhard?
    I thought they would be joining us today.
[16:09] Henrique
    Well, Dali-boy and Gerhard took the day off.
[16:13] Dino
    There is an anniversary to mark.
[16:16] Johannes
    I see. It's already been a year, then...
[16:39] Dali
    Raphael.
[16:41] Dali
    This is your first time here, isn't it?
[16:45] Raphael
    Is this where Mother is sleeping?
[16:48] Dali
    Yes, that's right.
[16:51] Gerhard
    I'm sorry, Raphael.
[16:54] Raphael
    Why would Angelico's father apologize to me?
[16:58] Gerhard
    Raphael, your mother... I...
[17:07] Gerhard
    I respect your mother a great deal.
[17:11] Raphael
    Respect?
[17:13] Gerhard
    Yes. Frida was wonderful.
[17:17] Gerhard
    As Dali's wife, as your mother,
    and as her own Vamp...
[17:24] Gerhard
    Which is why, Raphael, I hope you'll
    become a wonderful aristocrat.
[17:29] Gerhard
    The kind Frida would be proud of.
[17:33] Gerhard
    I'm sure you can do it.
[17:35] Dali
    Of course. He'll be a much
    bigger deal than I am.
[17:40] Raphael
    Yeah.
[17:41] Raphael
    I'm going to be a big deal when I grow up.
[17:45] Raphael
    Because I have to protect Ul.
[17:49] Raphael
    So I'll work hard,
    eat my meals, and study lots.
[17:54] Raphael
    I'll go into my cocoon phase,
     and once it's over,
[17:56] Raphael
    I'll become a much, much more
    important aristocrat than Father!
[18:01] Raphael
    Then I'll be able to protect Ul, right?
[18:06] Dali
    Yes, you will.
[18:09] Gerhard
    You're a tiny guardian.
[18:12] Raphael
    Guardian?
[18:14] Dali
    A guardian is someone who protects people.
[18:19] Raphael
    Someone who... protects?
[18:23] Raphael
    Yeah! I'll be Ul's guardian!
[18:27] Dali
    Of course.
[18:30] Dali
    I'm counting on you.
[18:40] Pizarro
    TRUE OF VAMP...
[18:42] Pizarro
    Contract it and you get "TRUMP."
[18:46] Pizarro
    It's said that we all originate
    from this single vampire.
[18:50] Pizarro
    All Vamps are mentally linked
     to the TRUE OF VAMP
[18:55] Pizarro
    and at the mercy of its mass initiative.
[18:59] Pizarro
    In other words, we are all subject
     to TRUMP's caprice.
[19:04] Pizarro
    When its mind is disturbed, it leads to
    disruption and destruction in Vamp society.
[19:10] Pizarro
    And yet, in spite of that,
    TRUMP is always in a deep depression.
[19:16] Pizarro
    Which is why it needs us.
[19:19] Pizarro
    To bring joy to the TRUE OF VAMP,
    otherwise in eternal despair.
[19:24] Kiki
    I seriously don't care.
[19:26] Kiki
    I'll do the job,
     but I'm going to do it my way.
[19:34] Pizarro
    The sensitivity of the cocoon phase leads
[19:38] Pizarro
    to a stronger mental link to TRUMP than usual.
[19:42] Pizarro
    A literal connection to our god.
[19:45] Pizarro
    So, when someone is in their
    cocoon phase, TRUMP is never far.
[19:50] Pizarro
    Which is why, in order to sense TRUMP,
    we need the cocoon phase.
[19:54] Pizarro
    An eternal cocoon phase...
[20:22] Pizarro
    Hello there, Norman.
     I take it this is the child?
[20:25] Norman
    It is.
[20:29] Pizarro
    It's nice to meet you, Sophie Anderson...
[20:33] Pizarro
    Survivor of Nebula Village.
[20:36] Pizarro
    You may be the one capable
    of making the TRUE OF VAMP happy.
[20:42] Pizarro
    I can't wait for your cocoon phase.
[20:45] Pizarro
    Just wait, TRUMP.
    This child will perform for you...
[20:49] Pizarro
    in a Grand Guignol!
[21:11] Twins; unmarked AD
    Come on!
[21:15] Twins; unmarked AD
    Over here!
[21:24] Henrique
    I guess we're done with the nursery.
    I had such a good time with it, too.
[21:28] Kate
    It wasn't some game.
[21:29] Kate
    It served as the base of
    operations for your task force.
[21:32] Kate
    The case is closed,
    so of course you're done with it.
[21:35] Henrique
    Then does that mean if there's
    a new case, we might get it back?
[21:40] Dino
    Out of the question.
[21:42] Dino
    We cannot risk involving the
    children ever again. Agreed?
[21:46] Henrique
    I guess you're right.
[21:48] Kate
    It's a relief to have someone
    reasonable around, Sir Dino.
[21:52] Dali
    Come now, you're making it sound like
    Gerhard and I aren't reasonable.
[21:58] Gerhard
    I'd really prefer not to be lumped
    together with Dali on this one.
[22:01] Dali
    For the record, Gerhard, you're
    more like me than them.
[22:05] Gerhard
    H-How dare you?!
[22:07] Dali
    Don't go getting upset now.
[22:08] Dali
    As fatherly friends,
    we should try to get along.
[22:12] Gerhard
    Fatherly friends?
[22:14] Henrique
    That's right! Especially given how
    well all the kids get along.
[22:18] Dino
    In other words, the nursery lives on,
    albeit in a different way.
[22:22] Dali
    Why not continue to balance
    our duty with our children?
[22:27] Gerhard
    You needn't have even suggested it!
[22:32] Clara; unmarked AD
    Oh dear...
[22:33] Elena
    Angelico fell over.
[22:35] Lucia
    Looks like it hurts.
[22:38] Gerhard
    Unbelievable.
[22:39] Gerhard
    As the next head of House Fra,
    it should take more than that to...
[22:53] Clara
    Master Ul!
