**[00:13] ---**
What a cruel thing to do
to a child such as this.
**[00:20] ---**
Well, what will you do?
**[00:26] ---**
Will you, too, come with me?
**[00:37] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[00:46] ---**
*You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?*
**[00:51] ---**
*I hope one day you'll understand*
**[00:55] ---**
*Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight*
**[01:00] ---**
*That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"*
**[01:05] ---**
*No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything*
**[01:13] ---**
*I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now*
**[01:23] ---**
*I love this world,
and the light only you give me*
**[01:30] ---**
*Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes*
**[01:35] ---**
*Look gleaming and bright*
**[01:40] ---**
*There's no such thing as a sure thing*
**[01:44] ---**
*But you can see me, can't you?*
**[01:53] ---**
*When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later*
**[02:03] ---**
Doctor Moreau!
**[02:06] ---**
It's an honor to see you again!
**[02:09] ---**
I figured you'd be here
if you were in Paris.
**[02:12] ---**
Yes, yes!
**[02:13] ---**
I'm impressed you remembered
the way here, Number 69!
**[02:18] ---**
Hmm? Who might these folks be?
**[02:21] ---**
They have weapons in hand.
**[02:23] ---**
Friends of yours?
**[02:25] ---**
They're your supporters, Doctor!
**[02:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:30] ---**
On the way here, I told them
of your sublime experiments.
**[02:37] ---**
Your ideas truly resonated with them,
**[02:39] ---**
so they vowed that they would assist you.
**[02:43] ---**
As you can see, they are Chasseurs.
**[02:46] ---**
They shall prove useful as
both assistants and guards!
**[02:52] ---**
How very...
**[02:54] ---**
...splendid!
**[02:58] ---**
I applaud you! I applaud you!
**[03:05] ---**
What a relief. If you turned out to
be evil-doers bent on capturing me,
**[03:09] ---**
I would have had to kill you.
**[03:13] ---**
Come, come, everyone! Hurry now!
**[03:15] ---**
We must prepare to entertain our guests!
**[03:18] ---**
Vanitas, he is...
**[03:21] ---**
With enough flattery,
**[03:23] ---**
he'll get so excited, he'll blurt out
things we haven't even asked.
**[03:27] ---**
What became of the abducted vampires?
**[03:30] ---**
Is he the only one behind the abductions?
**[03:33] ---**
We'll wring every bit of
information we can out of him.
**[03:37] ---**
After that, we'll let
the Chasseurs have at him,
**[03:41] ---**
or I will slay him myself.
**[03:48] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[03:51] ---**
Are these the enhanced
humans Vanitas spoke of?
**[03:55] ---**
Now, allow me to
introduce myself once more!
**[03:58] ---**
My name is Moreau!
**[04:01] ---**
Number 69, no doubt,
already told you, but
**[04:04] ---**
I research vampires here!
**[04:07] ---**
Question!
**[04:09] ---**
--Yes?!
**[04:09] ---**
--Doctor, Doctor!
--Yes?!
**[04:10] ---**
--Yes?
**[04:11] ---**
--Why are you researching vampires?
--Yes?
**[04:12] ---**
--Why are you researching vampires?
**[04:15] ---**
What?
**[04:16] ---**
He means such vital information
should be obtained from the source!
**[04:20] ---**
I see! Well, that is a
most commendable attitude!
**[04:26] ---**
The truth is I wish to
become a vampire someday!
**[04:33] ---**
When the Church first approached me,
**[04:35] ---**
I assisted in their research on vampires
simply out of intellectual curiosity.
**[04:41] ---**
But the more I learned about vampires,
**[04:43] ---**
the more I couldn't stop
thinking about one thing!
**[04:48] ---**
And that is vampires
are a new human species,
**[04:52] ---**
the very apex of evolution!
**[04:55] ---**
That's why I want to cross over
to that side now, now, now!
**[05:00] ---**
Hell's bells!
**[05:01] ---**
Those fools in the Church
treated me like a lunatic!
**[05:06] ---**
Hell's bells!
**[05:07] ---**
Because of them, so much of
my time and effort was wasted!
**[05:10] ---**
Damn them!
**[05:19] ---**
You have no idea how
truly difficult it's been!
**[05:23] ---**
After the Vampire of the Blue Moon
attacked my laboratory that day
**[05:26] ---**
and stole you children from me...
**[05:29] ---**
There was more than one?
**[05:32] ---**
...my creations and my place
of research were destroyed.
**[05:37] ---**
That ruckus brought my secret
research to the Church's attention,
**[05:42] ---**
and I was nearly killed!
**[05:45] ---**
It was the worst day ever!
**[05:48] ---**
My goodness. I'm so sorry about that.
**[05:54] ---**
No, no, forgive me!
I'm not at all angry at you.
**[05:58] ---**
Number 69, you were
an outstanding specimen.
**[06:03] ---**
You gladly cooperated with
each and every experiment!
**[06:06] ---**
You were sliced and diced
to the brink of death,
**[06:08] ---**
yet you never complained or cried!
**[06:14] ---**
That's why I'm so delighted
that you've returned to me!
**[06:18] ---**
You came back to assist
with my work, didn't you?
**[06:24] ---**
Of course, I did, Doctor.
**[06:26] ---**
The moment I heard of the string
of vampire disappearances in Paris,
**[06:30] ---**
I had a feeling it must be you,
fighting to complete your work here.
**[06:36] ---**
But, Doctor, this is the den of Chasseurs,
the very ones who drove you out.
**[06:41] ---**
Has being alone not
put you at a disadvantage?
**[06:46] ---**
That has not been a problem.
**[06:48] ---**
After all, I now have that
exalted personage on my side.
**[06:54] ---**
Exalted personage?
**[06:55] ---**
That's right! A fabulous kindred spirit
who understands my work and supports me!
**[07:01] ---**
Thanks to my savior, I was able
to return to my good old laboratory!
**[07:07] ---**
Who exactly is this person you speak of?
**[07:11] ---**
Wrong question. It's the one thing
I must not speak of, even to you.
**[07:16] ---**
Forget that. Look at this!
**[07:20] ---**
Freshly harvested vampire eyeballs!
**[07:24] ---**
Before they died and turned to dust,
**[07:26] ---**
I carved off the parts
I need for my experiments.
**[07:33] ---**
What's this?!
**[07:34] ---**
Number 69? Have your
eyes not changed color?
**[07:39] ---**
Yes, they have!
**[07:41] ---**
Where once they were deep blue,
they're now light in color,
**[07:45] ---**
like copper sulfate.
**[07:48] ---**
Is this related to the power possessed
by the Vampire of the Blue Moon?
**[07:52] ---**
Well, Number 69?!
**[07:56] ---**
How intriguing.
**[07:57] ---**
How intriguing! How very intriguing!
**[08:00] ---**
Number 69! I need but one!
**[08:02] ---**
Do you mind if I gouge out
just one to study?!
**[08:06] ---**
Number 69!
**[08:11] ---**
What do you think you're doing?
**[08:14] ---**
Don't do this.
**[08:15] ---**
Sorry, but I must.
**[08:19] ---**
Doctor Moreau, there is
much I'd like to say to you,
**[08:24] ---**
but that incessant 69, 69...
**[08:27] ---**
Stop referring to people as numbers!
**[08:32] ---**
Your eyes are red.
**[08:35] ---**
You're a vampire?!
**[08:40] ---**
I must thank you, Noé.
**[08:42] ---**
I was about to murder that man
if you hadn't made a move!
**[08:47] ---**
Drat!
**[08:48] ---**
Noé, keep a firm grip on him!
**[08:51] ---**
Oh, um, sure!
**[08:53] ---**
Doctor Moreau, who is that
"exalted personage" you spoke of?!
**[08:57] ---**
Number 69, 69! Who is this vampire?!
Where did he come from?!
**[09:00] ---**
May I dissect him?!
**[09:03] ---**
Youch! No! I can't believe this! Stop!
**[09:15] ---**
You're...!
**[09:17] ---**
Monsieur Spider! Thank you for saving me!
**[09:21] ---**
That does it, Doctor.
**[09:22] ---**
I'm destroying your laboratory.
**[09:25] ---**
No!
**[09:26] ---**
What the devil?!
**[09:29] ---**
Charlatan and Naenia,
**[09:32] ---**
the masked man,
**[09:33] ---**
and Doctor Moreau are all connected?
**[09:40] ---**
Oh dear, it seems
my little friend woke up.
**[09:43] ---**
Is that the curse-bearer Dante
and company were after?!
**[09:46] ---**
It manifested already?!
**[09:50] ---**
Not so fast!
**[09:53] ---**
Oh, before I forget, 69,
**[09:55] ---**
how is Number 71 doing?
**[10:00] ---**
You know, the one that
was so attached to you?
**[10:04] ---**
The Vampire of the Blue Moon
took my 71 from me along with you!
**[10:10] ---**
Is he not here with you?
**[10:13] ---**
Big Brother.
**[10:17] ---**
Why do you hate Father so?
**[10:19] ---**
Father is a good person. He rescued
us from Moreau's lab, remember?
**[10:22] ---**
Give him back. Give him back.
**[10:24] ---**
Give my father back to me!
**[10:29] ---**
Vanitas! What is it? Are you all right?!
**[10:33] ---**
Get a grip!
**[10:48] ---**
What is... that?
**[10:58] ---**
Stand back if you won't help.
**[11:00] ---**
What?! You stand back, you fool!
**[11:03] ---**
At least tell me what
the devil that thing is!
**[11:13] ---**
It is the malnomen
Prédateur, "the shadow."
**[11:21] ---**
It ravenously devours
all life in its path.
**[11:33] ---**
Inverse operations won't
have any effect on it!
**[11:36] ---**
We must get the curse-bearer out of there!
**[11:39] ---**
Noé!
**[11:40] ---**
How?!
**[11:55] ---**
What an idiot.
**[11:58] ---**
Tell me.
**[11:59] ---**
Why are you putting yourself in danger
to help vampires of the crimson moon?
**[12:03] ---**
They exiled Father.
**[12:07] ---**
You're too late, anyway.
Hurry up and tell them.
**[12:15] ---**
You know you don't want
anyone else to die because of you.
**[12:20] ---**
Vanitas!
**[12:22] ---**
Please, you must get up!
**[12:24] ---**
Vanitas!
**[12:33] ---**
Noé, get Roland and
his people out of here.
**[12:37] ---**
The shadow will vanish once it
consumes the curse-bearer within.
**[12:43] ---**
Until then, it can't harm anyone
else if we can lock it up in here.
**[12:48] ---**
You can't save it?
**[12:52] ---**
I fear it's too late.
**[12:55] ---**
I don't know how to pry
a curse-bearer out of a shadow.
**[12:59] ---**
There's nothing more I can do.
**[13:02] ---**
No!
**[13:04] ---**
I don't wish to give up yet!
**[13:14] ---**
Vanitas.
**[13:16] ---**
Wh-What?
**[13:17] ---**
What do you suppose
it's like within its maw?
**[13:20] ---**
What?!
**[13:21] ---**
If we can't do anything
from outside, we'll go inside!
**[13:25] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa! If it eats you, you die!
**[13:28] ---**
Stay there if you're scared.
**[13:30] ---**
I'll do what I can myself.
**[13:33] ---**
Hey, wait! Noé!
**[13:36] ---**
Vanitas. What are you, anyway?
**[13:41] ---**
Why are you here right now?
**[13:47] ---**
I am...
**[13:49] ---**
What an idiot.
Why are you even doing this?
**[13:53] ---**
Shut your mouth!
**[13:59] ---**
I am a doctor.
**[14:02] ---**
I'm here to save vampires!
**[14:10] ---**
Roland! A little help!
**[14:14] ---**
Maria, Georges! Bring it down!
**[14:36] ---**
There's the curse-bearer
that has manifested Prédateur.
**[14:43] ---**
Do not fear.
**[14:45] ---**
We can win.
**[14:48] ---**
If we work together?
**[15:36] ---**
I thought we were goners!
**[15:38] ---**
Forgive me for my grandiose
statements a moment ago.
**[15:41] ---**
I clearly underestimated the situation.
**[15:44] ---**
I tried to warn you.
**[15:52] ---**
I really don't know why we're still alive.
**[15:57] ---**
It makes no sense.
**[16:08] ---**
We managed to save him, Vanitas.
**[16:14] ---**
But Moreau got away.
**[16:17] ---**
Well, that's true, but...
**[16:25] ---**
Run for it!
**[16:32] ---**
Why did it suddenly explode?
**[16:35] ---**
My guess is that if the worst happened,
**[16:37] ---**
there was a mechanism in place
to destroy the lab and everything in it.
**[16:44] ---**
Noé, these children are among the vampires
Moreau abducted, aren't they?
**[16:48] ---**
That's right.
**[16:50] ---**
I'll look after them.
**[16:53] ---**
The vampires had no part
in this latest incident.
**[16:56] ---**
If anything, we Chasseurs
bungled the whole thing.
**[17:00] ---**
We'll turn them over to Count Orlok.
**[17:04] ---**
I swear I shall see it through.
**[17:06] ---**
You two must flee this place at once.
**[17:11] ---**
It matters not why you're here.
**[17:13] ---**
If you enter the Chasseurs'
domain without leave,
**[17:16] ---**
you will be captured and questioned.
**[17:20] ---**
Go before it's too late.
**[17:22] ---**
But, captain!
**[17:31] ---**
Leave the rest to us.
**[17:34] ---**
Now go. Hurry.
**[17:37] ---**
Thank you, Roland!
**[17:42] ---**
Let us meet again under the sun.
**[17:46] ---**
Now then, Georges, Maria.
I'm placing them in your care.
**[17:52] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[17:54] ---**
Roland!
**[18:01] ---**
Hello, Olivier!
**[18:02] ---**
Your hair is always so silky smooth!
**[18:06] ---**
This is no time for jokes!
**[18:10] ---**
What caused that tremor?!
What have you done this time?!
**[18:13] ---**
I'll file a detailed report later.
**[18:16] ---**
But forget that for now
and listen, Olivier.
**[18:19] ---**
You'll never believe this,
but I befriended a vampire.
**[18:24] ---**
He gives me splitting headaches!
**[18:27] ---**
Are you all right?
Shall I fetch your medicine?
**[18:30] ---**
This is your fault, you fool!
**[18:32] ---**
Do you understand the situation?
**[18:35] ---**
If the other Chasseurs find out--
**[18:37] ---**
If they find out?
**[18:38] ---**
I'd no longer be welcome here?
**[18:43] ---**
I just saw something
spectacular a moment ago.
**[18:55] ---**
A human and a vampire
were laughing together.
**[18:59] ---**
They were truly having fun.
**[19:02] ---**
I was taught that humans and vampires
will never understand one another.
**[19:07] ---**
I never thought what
I accepted as common sense
**[19:11] ---**
could be so easily overturned.
**[19:14] ---**
What shall I do, Olivier?
**[19:16] ---**
My heart won't stop racing!
**[19:21] ---**
Captain!
**[19:24] ---**
What is it?
**[19:27] ---**
Damn him.
**[19:29] ---**
He really is asking for trouble!
**[19:49] ---**
We finally made it out.
**[19:53] ---**
Was that really all right?
**[19:56] ---**
We left everything for Roland to handle.
**[19:59] ---**
Heck if I know.
**[20:01] ---**
There are no more curse-bearers involved,
so I've no further interest in the matter.
**[20:15] ---**
I'm certain Vanitas didn't wish to get
involved in this if at all possible.
**[20:25] ---**
And yet, he did because
there were curse-bearers.
**[20:33] ---**
Perhaps it was his
sense of duty as a doctor.
**[20:54] ---**
I'm exhausted.
**[20:58] ---**
I know.
**[21:00] ---**
I am, too.
**[21:11] ---**
No, it wasn't duty. It seemed
like a crutch he was leaning on.
**[21:18] ---**
It matters not what you people want!
**[21:22] ---**
I *will* save the vampires!
**[21:27] ---**
I wonder.
**[21:29] ---**
The one who seeks salvation most of all,
**[21:32] ---**
the one who prays for it,
**[21:35] ---**
is it not Vanitas himself?
**[21:44] ---**
"Number 69"
**[23:18] ---**
Doctor Moreau is despondent
after losing his laboratory.
**[23:22] ---**
He will be no use to us for the present.
**[23:26] ---**
That vampire... This is all his fault!
**[23:31] ---**
Noé Archiviste.
**[23:36] ---**
Now he shall have to deal with me.
