[00:13] ---
Ever heard of a curse-bearer, Noé?
[00:16] ---
Huh?
[00:17] ---
That's what they call vampires who
suddenly lose their minds and go berserk.
[00:24] ---
My grandfather told me about them.
[00:26] ---
A curse? Whose?
[00:30] ---
Who else? The Vampire of the Blue Moon's.
[00:36] ---
Are you okay?
[00:50] ---
Noé! Let's play!
[00:53] ---
Noé.
[00:55] ---
Even with a curse-bearer here before you,
[00:59] ---
are you still able to see the
blue moon as something beautiful?
[01:20] ---
"The Case Study of Vanitas"
[01:29] ---
You're pondering the simple things,
pretty much: human emotions, and love?
[01:34] ---
I hope one day you'll understand
[01:38] ---
Too many wounds have left you
patched together, a miserable sight
[01:43] ---
That doesn't even know
the definition of "alive"
[01:48] ---
No need to say,
"Just the two of us" or anything
[01:56] ---
I've a feeling we can understand
each other, and that's fine for now
[02:06] ---
I love this world,
and the light only you give me
[02:13] ---
Makes the world I see
through these fractured eyes
[02:18] ---
Look gleaming and bright
[02:23] ---
There's no such thing as a sure thing
[02:27] ---
But you can see me, can't you?
[02:35] ---
When sky and void meet, look back
because the dreams will come later
[02:46] ---
Vanitas.
[02:49] ---
Yes?
[02:50] ---
Can you explain why we're behind bars?
[02:54] ---
A fine question, my dear Noé.
[02:57] ---
About ten hours ago, you were poisoned by
the Eglantine due to your absurd antics.
[03:02] ---
Then you face-planted by the roadside.
[03:04] ---
You've slept like a baby ever since,
nearly half a day to be exact.
[03:08] ---
That about sums it up.
You up to speed now?
[03:10] ---
No, I'm not.
[03:11] ---
Seriously?
[03:12] ---
You were the one who
stole aboard the airship.
[03:15] ---
I just happened to be there,
so how did I end up in prison, too?
[03:19] ---
Because I told them
we're partners in crime,
[03:22] ---
you moron!
[03:24] ---
My wallet's missing!
[03:26] ---
They confiscated all our belongings.
[03:28] ---
What?! The Book of Vanitas, too?!
[03:30] ---
Naturally.
[03:31] ---
H-How can you remain so calm?!
[03:34] ---
Wait, were you after my book?
[03:36] ---
No!
[03:38] ---
My master merely requested
that I assess its true nature.
[03:44] ---
Assess, you say?
[03:46] ---
That's quite a vague way
for your teacher to word it.
[03:50] ---
That's true. He didn't
say steal or destroy it.
[03:55] ---
What is it my teacher wants me to do?
[03:59] ---
Wait a second, Noé!
[04:01] ---
Yes?
[04:02] ---
If you seek The Book of Vanitas,
then you should join me.
[04:08] ---
So why do you keep refusing to help?
[04:13] ---
That's true!
[04:15] ---
Jeez.
[04:24] ---
Now I understand, Vanitas!
[04:26] ---
Perhaps I simply don't like you that much!
[04:31] ---
What?
[04:32] ---
What shall I do?
[04:34] ---
For my teacher's sake,
I suppose I should go with you.
[04:37] ---
But meekly accepting
whatever someone I dislike says
[04:40] ---
is bad for my mental well-being,
[04:43] ---
or rather,
it's psychologically impossible.
[04:46] ---
Okay, so what now?
[04:51] ---
Out.
[04:52] ---
We're unable to hold you here any longer.
[04:56] ---
This is an invitation from Count Orlok.
[05:03] ---
The vampires likely came to
an arrangement with the humans.
[05:07] ---
Huh?
[05:08] ---
Come along. I'll show you the way.
[05:11] ---
Thank you. This is my first time in Paris.
[05:14] ---
Is that so?
[05:37] ---
Welcome to Paris, the City of Flowers.
[06:00] ---
The invitation from the Count
said to come get our things,
[06:03] ---
both those the police took
and those we left on the airship.
[06:11] ---
Why are you so exhausted, Vanitas?
[06:14] ---
A certain someone keeps
wandering off when I'm not looking.
[06:21] ---
We're here. Galerie Valentine.
[06:25] ---
This is where we'll find the Count?
[06:27] ---
That's right.
After the war with humankind,
[06:30] ---
vampires were forbidden
from attacking humans.
[06:33] ---
After that, most of them
vanished beyond the barrier.
[06:37] ---
But there are still many who
continue to live among humankind.
[06:44] ---
A vampire has been appointed by the
queen to maintain the balance between
[06:48] ---
the vampires and humans here in Paris.
[06:51] ---
He is...
[06:53] ---
...the Lord of Altus, Parks Orlok.
[06:58] ---
Don't move.
[06:59] ---
Is this how you welcome invited guests?
[07:03] ---
Silence.
[07:05] ---
Ill-mannered fools who do not knock
are no better than trespassers.
[07:15] ---
So you're the human who has
assumed the name of Vanitas.
[07:24] ---
Murr! I'm so relieved you're safe!
[07:28] ---
Your possessions.
[07:30] ---
What about the rest?
[07:37] ---
I'll get right to the point.
[07:40] ---
Hand over The Book of Vanitas
and Amelia Ruth. I want them back.
[07:44] ---
Vanitas, Mademoiselle Amelia
is fine now, so--
[07:48] ---
Curse-bearers cannot be allowed to live.
[07:52] ---
We will take it upon
ourselves to eliminate her.
[07:56] ---
Please, Count, don't!
[07:58] ---
Mademoiselle Amelia should be cured!
[08:01] ---
You mean by using this book?
[08:04] ---
That's right!
[08:05] ---
I saw him use The Book of Vanitas.
[08:08] ---
Its power restored her
to her former state.
[08:10] ---
Therefore--
[08:12] ---
Don't be absurd!
[08:14] ---
Do you truly believe this fool's nonsense?
[08:18] ---
There is no such thing
as a cursed grimoire.
[08:21] ---
This thing is but rubbish.
[08:27] ---
Or perhaps you stole it
but don't know how to use it.
[08:32] ---
I expect you can't even open it.
That's why you summoned me.
[08:35] ---
This is hilarious!
[08:36] ---
Couldn't you just say,
"Please teach me how to use the book"?
[08:42] ---
You are mistaken.
[08:44] ---
I summoned you, the man who
assumed the name of Vanitas,
[08:47] ---
to rake you over the coals
till you confess your plot.
[08:51] ---
I'm simply trying to save vampire kind
from utter annihilation.
[08:56] ---
Save us?!
[08:57] ---
Pretentious, human!
[08:59] ---
Are you so loathe to admit
The Book of Vanitas is real?!
[09:04] ---
That Amelia regained her sanity
should be as plain as day.
[09:08] ---
Bourreaus must behead
curse-bearers as soon as they are found.
[09:16] ---
Mina is to be executed tomorrow?
[09:18] ---
I don't understand!
[09:19] ---
Because she's a curse-bearer.
[09:21] ---
They're beheaded by a bourreau.
That's the rule.
[09:24] ---
We must go save her!
[09:25] ---
Can you lift the curse of the blue moon?
[09:28] ---
Of course, you can't!
[09:29] ---
She is beyond all help now, Noé!
[09:33] ---
Hear me now, human!
[09:34] ---
Vampires whose names have been defiled
can never return to their former state.
[09:39] ---
This is what's wrong with you senile old
coots bound by antiquated traditions.
[09:44] ---
You wretch!
[09:45] ---
There is nothing you can do.
[09:58] ---
How about this?
[10:01] ---
The vampire attacks sowing
chaos throughout Paris
[10:05] ---
are the work of a curse-bearer,
are they not?
[10:08] ---
Let us go capture that vampire
and bring the fiend back here.
[10:14] ---
Then Vanitas will use the
book's power here before you!
[10:19] ---
You must see what The Book of Vanitas
is with your own eyes!
[10:26] ---
Very well. We shall wait but one day.
[10:31] ---
I thank you.
[10:35] ---
We must hurry!
[10:38] ---
At last, you wish to help me, Noé!
[10:41] ---
I'm not helping you.
[10:43] ---
It's you who is helping me!
[10:56] ---
Excellent! I knew you'd
prove quite amusing!
[11:02] ---
There's nothing you can do.
[11:05] ---
Not this time.
I will not fail to save her!
[11:13] ---
Noé. Hey, Noé, wait!
[11:16] ---
Do you know where you're supposed to go?
[11:19] ---
I've no idea--
[11:21] ---
Looks like you could use a hand, Vanitas.
[11:24] ---
Dante!
[11:25] ---
Hey.
[11:26] ---
You left Amelia Ruth behind
to save your own skin!
[11:30] ---
My agreement with you didn't
include protecting the target!
[11:35] ---
I don't work beyond what I'm paid!
[11:37] ---
Greedy jerk!
[11:38] ---
Shut your piehole, quack!
[11:40] ---
Excuse me.
[11:42] ---
What the hell are you doing with him?!
[11:45] ---
Noé, allow me to introduce you.
[11:47] ---
This is Dante,
an information peddler I often use.
[11:50] ---
But he's really just someone
who'll do anything for money.
[11:54] ---
Now I remember. The one you called baldy.
[11:57] ---
I'm not bald!
Don't remember me by that slur!
[12:00] ---
I don't know why you're here,
Dante, but it's your loss!
[12:03] ---
I already found my penultimate partner!
[12:06] ---
Penultimate partner? You mean this guy?
[12:09] ---
Nope, not me.
[12:10] ---
So, sorry, Dante.
[12:13] ---
You'll have to look elsewhere
for your allowance.
[12:16] ---
Really? That's too bad.
[12:18] ---
Just when I located that killer
who claimed nine lives.
[12:22] ---
What a crying shame.
[12:24] ---
O Lord Dante, how I love thee!
[12:29] ---
What? That's highway robbery, baldy!
[12:33] ---
Shut it! Old man Orlok
doesn't even know about this.
[12:36] ---
Such information doesn't come cheap!
[12:40] ---
We should follow this bat?
[12:43] ---
Exactly. It will lead you to my comrade
who is tailing the killer you seek.
[12:57] ---
Seriously, what's that guy's deal?
[13:00] ---
Was that the Vanitas?
[13:03] ---
Such an adorable face, don't you think?
[13:06] ---
You followed me here, Johann?
[13:09] ---
I have something very special
I wanted to tell you myself.
[13:14] ---
Lord Ruthven's bourreau is here in Paris.
[13:17] ---
What?!
[13:18] ---
He's after The Book of Vanitas, no doubt.
[13:21] ---
And that friend of yours
[13:24] ---
may end up dead.
[13:31] ---
Thomas Berneux.
[13:32] ---
What?
[13:33] ---
He's the vampire who came from
beyond the barrier two months ago
[13:37] ---
and killed nine by draining their blood.
[13:41] ---
I'd been pursuing him up until
I received a letter from Amelia Ruth.
[13:47] ---
So, I already know much about him.
[13:49] ---
So then you're the doctor
Mademoiselle Amelia mentioned?
[13:53] ---
Oui.
[14:06] ---
There he is. I'm sure of it.
[14:07] ---
Thomas Berneux.
[14:09] ---
Stop him, Noé!
[14:10] ---
Very well!
[14:18] ---
Are you trying to kill me?!
[14:56] ---
I paralyzed him for a short while.
[14:58] ---
Let's tie him up while we can
and take him back to Orlok.
[15:08] ---
That was amazing.
[15:10] ---
You so swiftly incapacitated
a curse-bearer.
[15:15] ---
You must be Vanitas.
[15:18] ---
I am Luca.
[15:19] ---
And this is Jeanne.
[15:22] ---
Are you humans or vampires?
[15:25] ---
How rude of me.
[15:27] ---
We are vampires.
[15:30] ---
Monsieur Vanitas.
[15:31] ---
Though it may seem ill-mannered,
I have a favor to ask.
[15:35] ---
Would you not give me that grimoire,
The Book of Vanitas?
[15:43] ---
No way in hell!
[15:44] ---
This book isn't some plaything
for little brats like you!
[15:57] ---
Why do you want it, anyway?
[15:59] ---
The Book of Vanitas can
corrupt a vampire's true name.
[16:04] ---
That is why it is known as an analytical
engine in the form of a book.
[16:07] ---
It is the infernal device that creates
those known as curse-bearers!
[16:14] ---
Are you suggesting that I'm using
The Book of Vanitas to spread the curse?
[16:20] ---
I am.
[16:21] ---
I shall save the curse-bearers by
destroying that book in the proper manner.
[16:27] ---
And as its bearer, I imagine
you'll be punished accordingly.
[16:31] ---
I'm afraid I can't let that happen!
[16:33] ---
Hurray!
[16:34] ---
But do as you will with Vanitas himself.
[16:37] ---
Boo!
[16:38] ---
We must make haste.
[16:40] ---
Forgive me. Let us discuss later--
[16:42] ---
I, too, have no time!
[16:45] ---
Someone dear to me suffers terribly
as a curse-bearer, and I must save them!
[16:50] ---
Unbelievable.
[16:52] ---
Who put that nonsense in your head?
[16:55] ---
Huh?
[16:56] ---
Listen. I'm a doctor.
[16:58] ---
I'm using the power of
The Book of Vanitas to save vampires.
[17:03] ---
If you wish to save the one you hold dear,
I will exam the patient.
[17:07] ---
My big brother suffers dearly from
the vampire of the blue moon's curse!
[17:13] ---
For you to suggest that I take you
to him is beyond all foolishness!
[17:17] ---
Master Luca.
[17:20] ---
Hmm. So your brother is the curse-bearer.
[17:30] ---
Master Luca,
further talk serves no purpose.
[17:52] ---
Master Luca, command me as you will.
[17:55] ---
Monsieur Vanitas, will nothing
convince you to give me the book?
[18:03] ---
Jeanne...
[18:05] ---
Understood. I will do
my best to take him alive.
[18:11] ---
Please.
[18:13] ---
Take The Book of Vanitas from him!
[18:16] ---
Oui, Votre Altesse.
[18:19] ---
The Crimson Gauntlet!
[18:25] ---
Run, Noé! She's Lord Ruthven's bourreau!
[18:28] ---
Who?
[18:30] ---
You're like a country bumpkin squared!
[18:34] ---
Listen up!
[18:35] ---
In the war long ago,
[18:36] ---
over 1,000 vampires sided with humanity,
betraying their own kind.
[18:40] ---
But a single bourreau is
said to have slain them all.
[18:43] ---
It is she who wields the
Crimson Gauntlet, Carpe Diem!
[18:47] ---
The bearer of a saintly name
who slew her own kind!
[18:53] ---
The Hellfire Witch, Jeanne!
[19:06] ---
She has no intention of taking me alive!
[19:11] ---
I can't have you die on me yet!
[19:21] ---
We're in trouble!
[19:42] ---
Jeanne!
[19:43] ---
Master Luca?! You're in danger!
[19:45] ---
Please find a safe place to hide!
[19:48] ---
Jeanne! You must not slay him!
[19:50] ---
You're no longer a bourreau!
You're my knight, my chevalier!
[20:00] ---
Forgive me, Master Luca.
[20:14] ---
Whether it's Count Orlok
or the city's vampires,
[20:17] ---
they're all horrible listeners.
[20:20] ---
All vampires have the fear of the vampire
of the blue moon etched into their minds.
[20:26] ---
That's just how it is.
[20:28] ---
Huh?
[20:29] ---
And what that kid said
is not entirely wrong.
[20:34] ---
The Book of Vanitas can
corrupt a vampire's true name.
[20:38] ---
That much is true.
[20:40] ---
A corrupted name causes a malnomen.
[20:42] ---
My treatment consists of restoring
that name to its true state.
[20:46] ---
In short, it's a matter of application.
[20:49] ---
So it's no wonder that
vampires fear this book.
[20:54] ---
But the potential to do something
and doing it are two different things!
[21:00] ---
Even if The Book of Vanitas
was created to exterminate vampires,
[21:05] ---
it's an undeniable fact that you used it
to save Mademoiselle Amelia.
[21:12] ---
Thank you!
[21:13] ---
What I saw that day was
a resoundingly righteous act.
[21:23] ---
That is why I wish to return
at once so we may save her!
[21:34] ---
Keep it down before she finds us!
[21:37] ---
You really are...
[21:39] ---
...a most amusing fellow.
[21:43] ---
What?
[21:47] ---
Now then! I've steeled myself, Noé!
[21:51] ---
I know not whether this will work,
but it's our only hope for a swift return.
[21:55] ---
What are you--?
[21:58] ---
I've found but one way.
[22:00] ---
One way we can defeat the Hellfire Witch.
