[00:07] ---
    What? You want to go back
    for your hat and parasol?
[00:11] ---
    Lady Dominique selected
    them especially for me.
[00:17] ---
    No, don't be silly.
[00:19] ---
    Worst-case scenario, the Chasseurs
    have already been summoned.
[00:25] ---
    Lady Dominique...
[00:28] ---
    Let's go. I'll escort you to the barrier.
[00:30] ---
    What?
[00:31] ---
    Hmm?
[00:34] ---
    Perhaps you'd intended to stay
    with me till the morning?
[00:39] ---
    No! I can't leave without
    achieving my original objective!
[00:44] ---
    Original objective?
[00:47] ---
    You mean determining whether
    your love for me is true?
[00:50] ---
    Mission accomplished, is it not?
[00:52] ---
    Yeah, right, dream on!
[00:54] ---
    I've done all this so
    I'd never have to see you again!
[00:57] ---
    I've worked so hard to make it happen!
[01:00] ---
    I quietly suffered unbearable humiliation
[01:03] ---
    just to pretend I was in love with--
[01:07] ---
    Oops.
[01:14] ---
    Yes, I did find that side
    of you quite lovely today.
[01:21] ---
    I knew that's what I liked about you.
[01:26] ---
    Huh?
[01:30] ---
    Still, I'm surprised Luca
    let you come see me alone.
[01:35] ---
    Are you sure it's okay?
[01:38] ---
    Oh, you didn't tell him?
[01:42] ---
    Master Luca is with his elder brother.
[01:46] ---
    The grand duke's brother.
[01:48] ---
    You speak of the Bestia Loki.
[01:53] ---
    That's why I was told to take the day off
[01:56] ---
    and received permission to come see you.
[01:59] ---
    Permission? From whom?
[02:02] ---
    Lord Ruthven?
[02:07] ---
    Yes. How did you...?
[02:17] ---
    Vanitas?!
[02:26] ---
    Noé!
[02:29] ---
    What is it, Vanitas?
[02:42] ---
    "The Case Study of Vanitas"
[02:51] ---
    You're pondering the simple things,
    pretty much: human emotions, and love?
[02:56] ---
    I hope one day you'll understand
[03:00] ---
    Too many wounds have left you
    patched together, a miserable sight
[03:05] ---
    That doesn't even know
    the definition of "alive"
[03:10] ---
    No need to say,
    "Just the two of us" or anything
[03:18] ---
    I've a feeling we can understand
    each other, and that's fine for now
[03:28] ---
    I love this world,
    and the light only you give me
[03:35] ---
    Makes the world I see
    through these fractured eyes
[03:40] ---
    Look gleaming and bright
[03:45] ---
    There's no such thing as a sure thing
[03:49] ---
    But you can see me, can't you?
[03:58] ---
    When sky and void meet, look back
    because the dreams will come later
[04:30] ---
    Swear to me.
[04:34] ---
    But once at the time of my choosing,
[04:38] ---
    you shall obey my command,
    no matter what it may be.
[04:42] ---
    Swear it.
[04:45] ---
    Swear it!
[04:54] ---
    I swear that...
[04:58] ---
    ...but once at the time of your choosing,
[05:03] ---
    I shall obey your command,
    no matter what it may be.
[05:10] ---
    I swear it.
[05:13] ---
    Excellent.
[05:25] ---
    What? Why didn't you kill him?
[05:28] ---
    I changed my mind.
[05:30] ---
    The Shapeless One concerns me.
[05:32] ---
    We must discover why that monster
    is keeping an Archiviste close at hand.
[05:38] ---
    Until then, it may be wiser
    to use the boy as a pawn.
[05:45] ---
    He's but a child.
[05:47] ---
    We could slay him anytime we wish.
[05:51] ---
    I have high hopes for you, my lad.
[05:55] ---
    When the time comes,
    do not forget your vow.
[06:05] ---
    It's already dark outside!
[06:07] ---
    Did I really sleep that long?!
[06:12] ---
    Vanitas, why are you so out of breath?
[06:17] ---
    Hmm? Have you been injured?
[06:20] ---
    Never mind that.
[06:23] ---
    Why did Vanitas run off like that?
[06:27] ---
    If he hasn't returned by now,
[06:31] ---
    I suppose I can leave.
[06:33] ---
    Jeanne.
[06:38] ---
    Professor Ruthven,
    what are you doing here?
[06:41] ---
    There was a matter that
    couldn't wait to be dealt with.
[06:45] ---
    Upon hearing a vampire had
    caused an uproar on Montmartre,
[06:48] ---
    I thought I'd come have a look.
[06:51] ---
    That was your doing, Jeanne?
[06:53] ---
    P-Please, forgive me!
[06:55] ---
    I swear I didn't harm a single human!
[07:00] ---
    Actually, I mean,
    I did bite this one human,
[07:04] ---
    but it was consensual!
    I had their consent!
[07:07] ---
    Then there shall be no problem.
[07:14] ---
    How lovely you look.
[07:16] ---
    I have no doubt Éric and Louise would
    have loved to have seen you like this.
[07:24] ---
    Professor.
[07:30] ---
    The night grows cold.
    Come now, Jeanne, let's go home.
[07:37] ---
    Well? Were they over there?
[07:39] ---
    Nope, no sign of 'em.
[07:41] ---
    How about calling off the search?
[07:43] ---
    It seems they made a clean escape.
[07:47] ---
    Still, Jeanne was clearly acting strange.
[07:51] ---
    I'll keep looking a bit longer.
[08:02] ---
    Roland!
[08:04] ---
    Greetings, Olivier!
    I can't believe you found me.
[08:09] ---
    I hear you've been sneaking around
    searching for something.
[08:12] ---
    Sneaking around? That's not nice.
[08:14] ---
    I'm simply brushing up on my history.
[08:18] ---
    History?
[08:19] ---
    That's right.
[08:21] ---
    The history of humans
    and vampires, to be precise.
[08:25] ---
    No need to look so angry.
[08:28] ---
    I haven't laid a hand on
    any of the forbidden tomes.
[08:31] ---
    Why do this now?
[08:34] ---
    I thought I might find something
    unlike anything before.
[08:41] ---
    I had always thought
    of vampires as pure evil.
[08:46] ---
    Of that, I had no doubt.
    I had no grounds to question it.
[08:51] ---
    But I've learned that's not true!
[08:54] ---
    My eyes are open!
[08:57] ---
    There is no cause for concern.
[09:00] ---
    One so deeply faithful as Captain Roland
    would never do harm to the Church.
[09:07] ---
    You do not understand, Georges.
[09:09] ---
    Strictly speaking,
    it is not God he believes in.
[09:14] ---
    He believes in himself
    as one of the Lord's faithful.
[09:22] ---
    You listen to me, Roland!
[09:25] ---
    You are a Chasseur, a hunter
    of vampires in our Lord's name!
[09:30] ---
    If our superiors learn of such remarks,
    you'll be deemed dangerous.
[09:34] ---
    And if worst comes to worst, your parents
    and siblings may come to harm!
[09:46] ---
    Say, Olivier.
[09:49] ---
    How many paladins do you
    think I could battle on my own?
[09:53] ---
    What?
[09:54] ---
    Three? Four?
[09:56] ---
    Maybe even more if I wanted to tempt fate?
[09:59] ---
    What is this nonsense?!
[10:00] ---
    Oh, but...
[10:02] ---
    I imagine I'd be
    hard-pressed if I battled you.
[10:09] ---
    After all that, he has
    the nerve to threaten me?
[10:15] ---
    You understand, Olivier?
[10:17] ---
    You know what kind of man I am.
[10:22] ---
    I can only believe in that
    which I believe to be true.
[10:31] ---
    Hell's bells.
[10:35] ---
    What is this?
[10:36] ---
    Quack!
[10:37] ---
    Dante.
[10:38] ---
    Dominique's not with you?
[10:40] ---
    What? Domi?
[10:41] ---
    Aw, hell. I thought you might be on to us.
[10:44] ---
    Anyone who didn't notice that
    needs their head examined.
[10:47] ---
    I won't argue that.
[10:50] ---
    But enough about that, quack!
    Some unbelievable info just came in!
[10:54] ---
    The Beast lives!
[10:56] ---
    The Beast of Gévaudan
[10:58] ---
    has reared its head!
[11:02] ---
    Gévau... what?
[11:06] ---
    Now that's interesting.
[11:09] ---
    Don't spare the details, Dante.
[11:14] ---
    It is said to have
    resembled an enormous wolf.
[11:19] ---
    Its large maw was twisted,
    and its ears pointed.
[11:22] ---
    It had sharp claws and
    a body covered in red fur.
[11:26] ---
    And it had many
    black stripes upon its back.
[11:31] ---
    The 18th-century regions
    of Auvergne and Gévaudan
[11:34] ---
    were where over 100 women and
    children were brutally ripped to shreds.
[11:42] ---
    Known as the Beast of Gévaudan,
    it had the people cowering in fear.
[11:54] ---
    Even now, there are all sorts of theories
    as to what the Beast really was.
[11:59] ---
    But back then, both Church
    and vampires agreed on one thing.
[12:05] ---
    The Beast of Gévaudan was none
    other than a curse-bearing vampire!
[12:16] ---
    So what's this about the
    Beast of Gévaudan rearing its head?
[12:20] ---
    Is it truly the same Beast
    as the 18th-century killer?
[12:24] ---
    Honestly, I can't say either way yet.
[12:27] ---
    But five bodies have
    already turned up this month.
[12:31] ---
    All the killings differed. Some had their
    entrails devoured or heads torn off.
[12:36] ---
    Just like in the 18th century, eh?
[12:39] ---
    Yeah, and there are even
    eyewitness accounts of the Beast.
[12:43] ---
    So? What's the plan, quack?
[12:48] ---
    I'll go see for myself
    whether it really is a curse-bearer.
[12:54] ---
    What will you do, Noé?
[12:58] ---
    Who? Me?
[13:01] ---
    Let me think.
[13:04] ---
    I... umm...
[13:08] ---
    I think it sounds truly delicious.
[13:13] ---
    Huh?
[13:14] ---
    Delicious? You don't
    mean the Beast, do you?
[13:18] ---
    I didn't see that one coming.
[13:22] ---
    Don't tell me you have some
    kind of creepy food fetish.
[13:27] ---
    This is bad, bad. Really bad.
[13:30] ---
    Vanitas's blood smells so good.
    I can't focus on the conversation.
[13:35] ---
    It doesn't make sense.
    I already knew how good it smelled.
[13:40] ---
    Why do I feel this way?
[13:43] ---
    I'm starving!
[13:45] ---
    I slept the entire day away.
[13:47] ---
    Which means I haven't eaten anything!
[13:50] ---
    Which means I'm absolutely ravenous!
[13:53] ---
    Yes, that must be it!
[13:55] ---
    When I'm hungry,
    I always get thirsty, too!
[13:58] ---
    So it's because I slept too much.
    I do feel really lethargic.
[14:07] ---
    Damn it. It feels like my sense
    of smell is only getting stronger.
[14:11] ---
    His blood smells positively delectable.
    I must have a taste.
[14:15] ---
    No, wait! I should have
    some bread or something first.
[14:18] ---
    I want blood.
[14:19] ---
    I know, but we're in the midst
    of an important conversation.
[14:23] ---
    Wait. Is it all right to suck the blood of
    a human that has been marked?
[14:28] ---
    It smells so sweet.
[14:30] ---
    Just a taste will do. He must let me try.
[14:34] ---
    What's with him?
[14:35] ---
    Beats me.
[14:38] ---
    This is like the time I sucked the blood
    of that village child just for fun.
[14:44] ---
    Listen well, Mon Chaton.
[14:47] ---
    You have the power to see people's
    memories by sucking their blood.
[14:53] ---
    That means you have to be
    more careful than other vampires.
[14:57] ---
    So then...
[14:58] ---
    In other words, he means blood-sucking
    is a form of communication.
[15:03] ---
    So if you thirst for someone's blood,
[15:05] ---
    you must coax them
    into letting you have it.
[15:10] ---
    Coax them?!
[15:12] ---
    What? How am I supposed to do that?!
[15:19] ---
    Noé, what's gotten into--
[15:20] ---
    Vanitas! Your blood has a divine aroma
    that one would not imagine possible
[15:25] ---
    given your intolerable
    personality and attitude.
[15:29] ---
    Huh? Are you picking a fight?
[15:32] ---
    It's a compliment!
[15:35] ---
    So, in other words,
[15:38] ---
    what I'm trying to say is...
[15:40] ---
    Vanitas! I want but a taste of your--
[15:42] ---
    Archiviste!
[15:46] ---
    I'll say this but once, so listen well.
[15:52] ---
    If you make any attempt to suck my blood
    and thereby peer into my memories,
[15:58] ---
    I will kill you.
[16:01] ---
    Is that clear?
[16:06] ---
    Yes.
[16:08] ---
    Please forgive me.
[16:36] ---
    I sure bungled that.
[16:42] ---
    You have it all wrong.
[16:44] ---
    I didn't want to peer into your memories.
[16:52] ---
    Then again, is that really true?
[17:00] ---
    Maybe I'm wrong.
[17:07] ---
    I...
[18:20] ---
    Just stop it already.
[18:21] ---
    You're knocking me off-kilter.
[18:23] ---
    If you've a bone to pick
    with me, out with it!
[18:28] ---
    No, it's nothing like that.
[18:31] ---
    I wanted to say that what happened
    yesterday was all my fault.
[18:37] ---
    Truth be told, part of me
    wants to blame you
[18:44] ---
    for emitting such a sickly
    sweet scent around a vampire.
[18:46] ---
    Watch it!
[18:47] ---
    But if I had to say, I can't
    swear that sucking your blood
[18:51] ---
    wasn't a pretext born of my desire
    to get a glimpse of your past.
[18:58] ---
    Why even bother peering into my past?
[19:02] ---
    What would you gain from that?
[19:05] ---
    I don't know what I would gain and
    whatnot, but I did once say to you,
[19:10] ---
    "I do find you intriguing."
[19:18] ---
    Does that Archiviste power of yours
    let you see memories in people's blood,
[19:23] ---
    no matter the source?
[19:25] ---
    No, it's just like draining life energy.
[19:29] ---
    You must suck the blood from their veins
    if you wish to delve into their memories.
[19:38] ---
    With other sources, I may,
    in rare cases, see fragments of emotions.
[19:45] ---
    I see.
[19:46] ---
    In that case, the next time I'm injured,
    you can lap up the blood on my clothes.
[19:52] ---
    But that's a one-time offer.
[19:54] ---
    What?! Really?!
[19:56] ---
    Just kidding.
[19:57] ---
    What?!
[20:09] ---
    All right, let's go, Noé.
[20:14] ---
    Okay!
[20:23] ---
    We'll take this to Gévaudan.
[20:27] ---
    This?!
[20:37] ---
    Pardon me.
[20:38] ---
    No need.
[20:40] ---
    It was entirely my fault, monsieur.
[20:44] ---
    Noé, over here.
[20:48] ---
    Wait for me, Vanitas!
[20:54] ---
    I-I'm so sleepy.
[20:57] ---
    You haven't slept a wink?
[20:59] ---
    I was sure that you would go off and
    abandon me when I wasn't looking.
[21:07] ---
    We have a long way to go.
    You'd best get some sleep while you can.
[21:12] ---
    If I fall asleep...
[21:16] ---
    ...you're not going to leave me?
[21:21] ---
    I'll wake you when we're there.
[21:24] ---
    Now get some sleep.
[21:24] ---
    "Point of Departure"
    Now get some sleep.
[21:26] ---
    "Point of Departure"
    
[23:25] ---
    At last, the time has come.
[23:29] ---
    Here in Gévaudan,
[23:31] ---
    I shall make my song of vengeance
    echo across the land.
[23:42] ---
    "To be continued..."
