[00:02] Civillians{unmarked AD}
    What is it?
[00:03] Civillians{unmarked AD}
    It happened again.
[00:04] Henrique
    Yeah, that sounds good.
[00:07] Henrique
    Thanks.
[00:08] Henrique
    Hey, Dali-boy.
[00:11] Dali
    What's the situation?
[00:12] Henrique
    Same old, you could say.
[00:15] Henrique
    Nothing on the victims to connect them.
[00:18] Henrique
    No reason to say it wasn't random.
[00:22] Henrique
    All complete with the usual party favor.
[00:31] Gerhard
    What is it, Dali?
[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
    or even think about them.
[02:14] Sign
    Delico's Nursery
SIGN    A Cursed Called Love
[02:48] Student A
    Hey, look there.
[02:49] Student B
    Oh, it's Teacher Claus.
[02:52] Student C
    With his head in the clouds again.
[02:54] Student D
    Just leave him be.
[02:57] Claus
    More lovely weather today.
[03:03] Johannes
    You're now accepting help
     from your staff, then?
[03:06] Dali
    Yes. Putting the proper personnel
     to their proper uses...
[03:10] Dali
    That's how a leader ought
    to conduct their business, I believe.
[03:16] Johannes
    I did feel you were overdoing it
    a bit when it came to the children.
[03:21] Dali
    I've got Gerhard, Henrique,
    and Dino helping now too.
[03:25] Dali
    Granted, I'm also helping with their children.
[03:30] Johannes
    I'm glad to hear it.
[03:31] Dali
    Not only are we all brothers of the Vlad
    Agency, but we're fatherly friends as well.
[03:37] Dali
    They all know how to change Ul's diapers now.
[03:41] Johannes
    My, you don't say.
[03:43] Dali
    Moreover, just the other day,
    Ul finally played peekaboo!
[03:47] Johnanes
    Remarkable! Peekaboo?
[03:49] Dali
    Indeed! There's no end
    to the hardships of parenting,
[03:53] Dali
    but seeing children grow like that...
[03:56] Dali
    It makes you forget all the exhaustion.
[03:58] Johannes
    Remember, children grow so very quickly.
[04:01] Johannes
    Make sure to savor every moment you can get!
[04:05] Dali
    But of course, sir.
[04:08] 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.
