[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.
