**[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.
