**[00:00] ---**
Quack!
**[00:01] ---**
Dante. Dominique's not with you?
**[00:05] ---**
What? Domi?
**[00:06] ---**
Aw, hell. I thought you might be on to us.
**[00:08] ---**
Anyone who didn't notice that
needs their head examined.
**[00:12] ---**
I won't argue that.
**[00:13] ---**
But enough about that, quack!
Some unbelievable info just came in!
**[00:18] ---**
The Beast lives!
**[00:20] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan
**[00:22] ---**
has reared its head!
**[00:26] ---**
Now that's interesting.
**[00:29] ---**
Don't spare the details, Dante.
**[00:36] ---**
We'll take this to Gévaudan.
**[00:41] ---**
Pardon me.
**[00:43] ---**
No need.
**[00:44] ---**
It was entirely my fault, monsieur.
**[00:49] ---**
Noé, over here.
**[00:52] ---**
Wait for me, Vanitas!
**[02:29] ---**
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
**[02:41] ---**
"Dear Teacher, I hope
this letter finds you well.
**[02:45] ---**
I have left Paris along with Vanitas
**[02:48] ---**
and traveled to the
faraway region of Gévaudan."
**[02:52] ---**
Vanitas, look!
**[02:54] ---**
There's a village!
**[02:56] ---**
Is that Saugues?
**[03:00] ---**
It's so beautiful.
**[03:02] ---**
It somehow reminds me of Averoigne.
**[03:06] ---**
Hey, Noé.
**[03:08] ---**
Why have you been so chipper
since we boarded this wagon?
**[03:11] ---**
Me? Why have *you* looked
like you're on death's door?
**[03:14] ---**
I'm freezing!
**[03:16] ---**
Hmph, that's just sad.
**[03:18] ---**
Shut it. Unlike you people,
I'm a highly sensitive person.
**[03:23] ---**
And what are you information
peddlers doing here anyway?
**[03:27] ---**
Who cares? It's no skin off your nose.
**[03:30] ---**
We just want to collect
information we can sell.
**[03:33] ---**
Precisely.
**[03:35] ---**
And then there was that
thing with the Chasseurs.
**[03:39] ---**
I wasn't satisfied
**[03:40] ---**
till I clobbered those enhanced humans or
whatever they were that worked me over.
**[03:46] ---**
Oh, Dante, you're so sweet.
**[03:49] ---**
You wanted to murder that
heinous villain who broke my arm?
**[03:55] ---**
No doubt they're here
to gather information,
**[03:59] ---**
but they likely have
ulterior motives as well.
**[04:02] ---**
We'll stow our things at the inn,
then head to where the bodies were found.
**[04:07] ---**
I want to look for signs
of the Beast before dark.
**[04:11] ---**
Of course.
**[04:18] ---**
Here in Gévaudan in the 18th century,
**[04:21] ---**
the Beast brutally ripped over
100 women and children to shreds.
**[04:26] ---**
Its large maw was twisted,
and its ears pointed.
**[04:30] ---**
It had sharp claws and
a body covered in red fur.
**[04:33] ---**
It is said to have
resembled an enormous wolf.
**[04:36] ---**
Is there really such a beast
here in the Silver Forest?
**[04:40] ---**
It's not just the Beast.
**[04:42] ---**
What?
**[04:43] ---**
A witch of tremendous power
is also said to dwell here.
**[04:49] ---**
A witch?
**[04:50] ---**
Vanitas, you believe the Beast of Gévaudan
**[04:53] ---**
may very well be a
curse-bearing vampire, don't you?
**[04:56] ---**
So the legends say.
**[04:58] ---**
Then I imagine that curse-bearer and
witch must be connected in some manner.
**[05:03] ---**
Who knows?
**[05:05] ---**
All I can say is there may be a
curse-bearer, and that's why I'm here.
**[05:12] ---**
Wh-What was that creepy sound?!
**[05:15] ---**
I believe that was a bird.
**[05:19] ---**
The scent of the forest air
**[05:21] ---**
brings back memories.
**[05:23] ---**
Domi and I used to play
in the forest all the time.
**[05:26] ---**
Tree nuts!
**[05:28] ---**
Stick close to me.
**[05:29] ---**
Look, Vanitas.
They're the kind you can eat!
**[05:36] ---**
Hmph, you're having
more fun than I thought.
**[05:40] ---**
What?
**[05:41] ---**
With him.
**[05:43] ---**
You being who you are,
**[05:44] ---**
I thought you two would go your
separate ways when things went south.
**[05:49] ---**
I tried, but that fool was waiting
when I tried to give him the slip.
**[05:55] ---**
What's this?
**[05:58] ---**
Your special someone is the heroic type?
**[06:00] ---**
I *will* murder you, baldy!
**[06:07] ---**
Johann, don't let Noé out of your sight.
**[06:09] ---**
He'll vanish the moment
you're not looking.
**[06:12] ---**
I know. He vanished just like that!
It's quite impressive.
**[06:16] ---**
Noé!
**[06:20] ---**
I'm so glad I found it.
**[06:23] ---**
Bad Murr! We must stick with the others!
**[06:29] ---**
Huh?
**[06:33] ---**
They're all gone, just like that.
**[06:38] ---**
Could this be the power
of the woods witch?
**[06:45] ---**
Oh my, dear Noé's nowhere to be found.
**[07:02] ---**
Snow?
**[07:06] ---**
What the devil?! It's freezing!
**[07:08] ---**
Oh no, Dante. This is *not* good.
**[07:13] ---**
Sweet Vanitas isn't breathing!
**[07:16] ---**
Hey, Quack! Snap out of it!
**[07:20] ---**
Quiet! Someone's coming.
**[07:22] ---**
A trespasser?
**[07:23] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[07:24] ---**
She claims to be with the Church,
but something doesn't seem right.
**[07:29] ---**
I'm on my way to report
it to Monsieur Antoine.
**[07:32] ---**
Forget about trespassers.
**[07:34] ---**
Find the Beast now!
**[07:36] ---**
We shall slay the fiend and present
its corpse before His Majesty!
**[07:41] ---**
What's with their getup?
**[07:43] ---**
Who's "His Majesty"?
**[07:45] ---**
They're dragoons.
**[07:47] ---**
During the 18th century attacks,
**[07:49] ---**
King Louis XV ordered his dragoons
to investigate sightings of the Beast.
**[07:54] ---**
Antoine was the name of
the king's First Musketeer.
**[07:59] ---**
What? Hold on.
**[08:01] ---**
You make it sound like
we traveled back in time.
**[08:06] ---**
It seems fate has dealt us a vexing hand.
**[08:14] ---**
What's that?
**[08:16] ---**
I don't like this!
**[08:40] ---**
There it is.
**[08:43] ---**
It's here!
**[08:44] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan!
**[08:47] ---**
What the hell?!
No one said it was *that* big!
**[08:54] ---**
Did they kill it?!
**[08:57] ---**
No.
**[09:11] ---**
Guns don't kill it?
**[09:13] ---**
It heals too fast.
**[09:15] ---**
A red-eyed beast.
**[09:17] ---**
A woods witch.
**[09:18] ---**
The 18th-century killings.
**[09:20] ---**
The rewinding of time.
**[09:24] ---**
We're in the past?
**[09:25] ---**
If not, then what?
**[09:27] ---**
A malnomen? But which one?!
**[09:32] ---**
The devil take him!
**[09:33] ---**
Why'd he have to vanish now?!
**[09:35] ---**
Where is that idiot?!
**[09:46] ---**
Jeanne?
**[09:57] ---**
H-Help!
**[10:07] ---**
What's this?
**[10:23] ---**
I remember you.
**[10:25] ---**
Did we not meet at the station in Paris?
**[10:28] ---**
Who *are* you?
**[10:29] ---**
My name is Astolfo.
**[10:31] ---**
I am the 12th Paladin and have been
honored with the title of Garnet.
**[10:36] ---**
Pleased to meet you, monsieur.
**[10:40] ---**
Why did you kill him?
**[10:43] ---**
You're a Chasseur.
**[10:45] ---**
So why kill humans--
**[10:46] ---**
These men mistook me for a woman.
**[10:50] ---**
What?
**[10:51] ---**
What's more, they would
not listen to a word I said.
**[10:54] ---**
I warned them three times,
yet they still laid hands upon me.
**[10:58] ---**
In short, it was an act of self-defense.
**[11:03] ---**
Also, you seem to be mistaken.
**[11:06] ---**
Protecting humans is not part
of a Chasseur's job description.
**[11:10] ---**
We hunt vampires.
**[11:13] ---**
Have I made myself clear, monsieur?
**[11:20] ---**
Eyes of red.
**[11:21] ---**
I wasn't sure till now.
**[11:23] ---**
You're a vampire!
**[11:29] ---**
What is the matter?
Why don't you fight back?
**[11:33] ---**
He enjoys this.
**[11:35] ---**
The battle, the bloodshed.
**[11:41] ---**
He's nothing like Roland
and the other Chasseurs!
**[11:47] ---**
He's still alive.
**[11:52] ---**
Bah! You were not satisfied
with simply impeding my work?
**[11:58] ---**
Now you wish to spoil my fun?
**[12:03] ---**
That I cannot forgive.
**[12:06] ---**
You deserve 10,000 deaths.
**[12:11] ---**
What is...
**[12:15] ---**
What is wrong with you?!
**[12:18] ---**
Ready to fight now, are we?
**[12:24] ---**
Take that!
**[12:32] ---**
Now my Louisette shall claim your head!
**[12:44] ---**
Noé!
**[12:50] ---**
You all right, chum?
**[12:52] ---**
There you are, Sweet Noé!
**[12:55] ---**
Jeanne, wait!
Don't kill the Beast, not yet!
**[12:58] ---**
I must do this.
**[13:02] ---**
I failed to slay you here
in Gévaudan so long ago.
**[13:09] ---**
Now die!
**[13:22] ---**
Jeanne?! Why is *she* here?
**[13:25] ---**
The Beast of Gévaudan.
**[13:28] ---**
And that vampire. Could it truly be...
**[13:32] ---**
...the Hellfire Witch?!
**[13:36] ---**
What a splendid day this is!
**[13:39] ---**
To think I'd bear witness
to not only the Beast,
**[13:42] ---**
but Lord Ruthven's bourreau, too!
**[13:47] ---**
Stay still, Noé. Your wounds will--
**[13:49] ---**
No, I have some fight left in me.
**[13:57] ---**
I have a score to settle with him.
**[14:00] ---**
Unknot your knickers.
**[14:03] ---**
What?
**[14:05] ---**
That little runt is formidable?
**[14:09] ---**
Even more than Roland?
**[14:10] ---**
No way in hell!
**[14:12] ---**
Roland was far more terrifying!
**[14:14] ---**
That kid has nothing on him!
**[14:16] ---**
Then why are you all beat up?
**[14:20] ---**
Did you believe he would
listen to reason like Roland?
**[14:25] ---**
Or did you hold back because
he seemed more like a little girl?
**[14:31] ---**
Listen to me, Noé.
**[14:33] ---**
You're all worked up, and it's keeping you
from performing at your usual level.
**[14:41] ---**
I'm the right man for the job.
**[14:48] ---**
Here is the proper course of action!
**[14:51] ---**
What?! A Chasseur paladin is here?!
**[14:56] ---**
C-C-Could it be Roland the Jasper?!
**[15:02] ---**
What? It's not?
**[15:03] ---**
It's Astolfo the Garnet?
**[15:05] ---**
Who the heck is that?
**[15:07] ---**
Sorry, never heard of him!
**[15:11] ---**
But what a relief!
**[15:13] ---**
We'd have been as good as dead
if it had been Roland the Jasper!
**[15:17] ---**
But we might have a chance
against a little girl!
**[15:20] ---**
This really is good news!
**[15:22] ---**
What? You're kidding?
**[15:24] ---**
He's a boy? Seriously?! No way!
**[15:32] ---**
Roland?
**[15:34] ---**
Are you saying that
buffoon is better than me?
**[15:38] ---**
That was easy.
**[15:39] ---**
Um, Vanitas?
**[15:41] ---**
That is my specialty.
**[15:44] ---**
You stop Jeanne.
**[15:46] ---**
If the Beast truly is a curse-bearer
that has changed form,
**[15:50] ---**
its malnomen has yet to be discovered.
**[15:53] ---**
We can't have anyone slaying it,
whether they be a Chasseur or a bourreau.
**[16:00] ---**
I'm here to save vampires.
**[16:03] ---**
Aren't you?
**[16:07] ---**
You know
**[16:09] ---**
I am!
**[16:11] ---**
Chloé! I know it's you!
**[16:15] ---**
Chloé!
**[16:22] ---**
This time, I *will* slay you!
**[16:30] ---**
You mustn't.
**[16:31] ---**
Noé?
**[16:32] ---**
Please, Jeanne.
**[16:34] ---**
Don't slay the Beast. Not yet.
**[16:37] ---**
You must know by now.
**[16:44] ---**
Vanitas may be able
to save that curse-bearer.
**[16:50] ---**
Save her?
**[16:53] ---**
I cannot allow that.
**[16:55] ---**
I'm here as a bourreau. It is my
duty to execute curse-bearers.
**[17:00] ---**
And if you insist on impeding me,
**[17:03] ---**
I will slay you, too!
**[17:06] ---**
What? Is that all you've got?
**[17:08] ---**
The Chasseurs must really be shorthanded
**[17:11] ---**
if they're hiring such
boneheaded paladins.
**[17:15] ---**
But that's not it, is it?
**[17:17] ---**
In your case, your family
connections got you in,
**[17:20] ---**
Astolfo Granatum.
**[17:23] ---**
I hear the ties are strong between
House Granatum and the Church.
**[17:27] ---**
You must have begged your
father to get where you are.
**[17:30] ---**
"Please, Daddy. I really
wanna be a paladin."
**[17:35] ---**
"Isn't there something you could do?"
**[17:38] ---**
Come on, I'm dying to know.
**[17:41] ---**
How much did it cost Daddy to buy
your seat at the paladin table?
**[17:48] ---**
Don't you dare denigrate my father!
**[17:56] ---**
How delightful.
**[17:59] ---**
How very delightful!
**[18:04] ---**
Would you mind?
**[18:08] ---**
May I join the fun?
**[18:16] ---**
What's that?!
**[18:37] ---**
Charlatan.
**[18:41] ---**
So, we meet again, Noé.
**[18:47] ---**
Naenia.
**[18:52] ---**
Wh-What in heaven's name is this?
**[18:55] ---**
Big Brother, help me.
**[18:59] ---**
Big Brother.
**[19:01] ---**
Big Brother.
**[19:19] ---**
Dante, don't get drawn into their world!
**[19:26] ---**
The Beast is gone.
**[19:29] ---**
Where could it be?
**[19:34] ---**
Jeanne, our darling daughter.
**[19:50] ---**
I will kill you.
**[19:51] ---**
You and every last vampire.
**[19:54] ---**
I'll slaughter all of you!
**[20:12] ---**
I'm sick of this.
**[20:25] ---**
Let's put an end to
this revolting spectacle.
**[21:33] ---**
There you are.
**[21:36] ---**
Let us return to the castle, Chloé.
**[21:50] ---**
My leg hurts too much to walk.
**[21:55] ---**
Carry me.
