[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
    Say, let's play tag.
[00:44] Elena
    You're it! Come and get me!
[00:47] Lucia
    Wait, wait! Wait for me!
[00:50] Dino
    Sir Henrique...
[00:51] Elena
    Over here!
[00:52] Dino
    Pray tell, what exactly have you
     taught these children?
[00:53] Lucia
    Wait up!
[00:56] Henrique
    Taught them?
[00:56] Elena
    Come on! Hurry up!
[00:58] Henrique
    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!
[11:19] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
[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.
