Frida! Frida!

Give them... all of your love....

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.
