[00:11] ---
    Riche!
[00:13] ---
    Johann! Dante!
[00:15] ---
    I'm so glad you're all right.
[00:20] ---
    It's that quack and...
[00:25] ---
    ...the Hellfire Witch?!
[00:30] ---
    Hand over The Book of Vanitas.
[00:33] ---
    Do that, and I shall let you live.
[00:35] ---
    Is that an order from your master, Luca?
[00:40] ---
    How disappointing.
[00:42] ---
    The young battle maiden who
    dashed across the battlefield,
[00:45] ---
    mercilessly exterminating her own kind...
[00:48] ---
    I heard it was a sight so beautiful
    that it made one shudder.
[00:53] ---
    But I never would've
    imagined you'd fall so low.
[00:57] ---
    And your point is?
[00:59] ---
    My point is I'm tired of playing with you.
[01:04] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I've yet to introduce myself.
[01:09] ---
    My name is Vanitas.
[01:11] ---
    The book and my name were passed down
    to me by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.
[01:14] ---
    Yet I'm but a human!
[01:19] ---
    The Vampire of the Blue Moon
    once feasted on my blood.
[01:22] ---
    Thus imbued with some of the vampire's power,
[01:25] ---
    I was counted among
    the Clan of the Blue Moon.
[01:30] ---
    I had wished to avoid having to use
    this power if at all possible, but...
[01:35] ---
    Hellfire Witch, I shall make an exception
    and reveal to you my true form!
[01:46] ---
    What devilry is this?
[02:08] ---
    As one might expect,
    it takes one monster to battle another!
[02:22] ---
    "The Case Study of Vanitas"
[02:31] ---
    You're pondering the simple things,
    pretty much: human emotions, and love?
[02:36] ---
    I hope one day you'll understand
[02:40] ---
    Too many wounds have left you
    patched together, a miserable sight
[02:45] ---
    That doesn't even know
    the definition of "alive"
[02:50] ---
    No need to say,
    "Just the two of us" or anything
[02:58] ---
    I've a feeling we can understand
    each other, and that's fine for now
[03:08] ---
    I love this world,
    and the light only you give me
[03:15] ---
    Makes the world I see
    through these fractured eyes
[03:20] ---
    Look gleaming and bright
[03:25] ---
    There's no such thing as a sure thing
[03:29] ---
    But you can see me, can't you?
[03:38] ---
    When sky and void meet, look back
    because the dreams will come later
[03:48] ---
    So it was all just a bluff.
[03:51] ---
    He was buying time until
    Thomas Berneux's paralysis wore off.
[03:56] ---
    Using a curse-bearer like
    a chess piece? That's...
[04:00] ---
    He gut-punched a lady
    without a shred of mercy.
[04:04] ---
    What a jerk.
[04:09] ---
    I cannot move.
[04:11] ---
    Stay right there and watch,
[04:14] ---
    O witch fallen to earth.
[04:17] ---
    Now it's your turn, slayer of nine.
[04:21] ---
    You take the form of a wolf
[04:24] ---
    and haunt moonlit nights,
    seeking the living blood of young women.
[04:30] ---
    Your malnomen is Loup-Garou,
    "wolf who hunts crimson."
[04:45] ---
    I will have this man's true name back!
[05:09] ---
    Where am I?
[05:14] ---
    So that's your true name,
[05:17] ---
    Bucolicus, "he who composes idylls."
[05:21] ---
    Astounding.
[05:24] ---
    Oops!
[05:25] ---
    I was supposed to
    cure him in front of Orlok.
[05:28] ---
    That won't be necessary.
[05:30] ---
    We shall tell Master Orlok
    exactly what transpired here.
[05:42] ---
    What the devil?
[05:44] ---
    I paralyzed you, and the Loup-Garou
    poison should yet remain.
[05:48] ---
    It is not...
[05:53] ---
    It is not over yet. I can still fight.
[05:59] ---
    Noé, get over here!
[06:08] ---
    Master Luca!
[06:10] ---
    Hellfire Witch,
[06:12] ---
    you do understand your predicament?
[06:15] ---
    Should you make one false move,
[06:18] ---
    my minion shall snap the brat's
    bony neck in the wink of an eye.
[06:24] ---
    He really is a massive jerk.
[06:32] ---
    I can't hear a word
    they're saying over there.
[06:36] ---
    Nab the kid? What for?
[06:39] ---
    While you keep Luca
    or whatever his name is safe,
[06:43] ---
    I'll use The Book of Vanitas to create
    an area that incapacitates vampires
[06:47] ---
    and try to reason with the witch.
[06:49] ---
    Is that even possible?!
[06:51] ---
    Indeed it is. But such power
    weighs too heavily on a child's body.
[06:57] ---
    Hold him still and cover his mouth
    so he won't inhale my power.
[07:02] ---
    And keep your distance but not too far.
[07:05] ---
    After all, he must bear witness
    to our little parley.
[07:11] ---
    I believe you when you say you can
    defeat the Hellfire Witch without a fight!
[07:23] ---
    After him!
[07:25] ---
    No, don't!
[07:27] ---
    I am defeated and will hinder you no more.
[07:30] ---
    Do with me what you will, but...
[07:35] ---
    Do not harm my master!
[07:39] ---
    I beg you.
[07:49] ---
    I knew the child was your weakness!
[07:56] ---
    What's with the tears
    and that feeble attitude?
[08:01] ---
    Such weakness is the result
    of wishing to protect something.
[08:06] ---
    But... I like it.
[08:08] ---
    Huh?
[08:09] ---
    I take back what
    I just said, Hellfire Witch.
[08:12] ---
    It's true that you've grown weak,
[08:15] ---
    but that very weakness makes your
    beauty shine all the more bright.
[08:25] ---
    What's this?
[08:28] ---
    My strength is gone.
[08:30] ---
    Hellfire Witch, or should I say, "Jeanne,"
[08:34] ---
    I've become quite intrigued by you.
[08:46] ---
    What?
[08:46] ---
    Huh?
[09:07] ---
    That look only further whets my appetite.
[09:17] ---
    How magnificent! You are a marvel, Jeanne!
[09:20] ---
    What is this pounding in my chest?!
[09:25] ---
    It's so very loud.
    I can't take my eyes off of you.
[09:28] ---
    More, more! I wish to see you
    in every way, shape, and form!
[09:35] ---
    Why, of course! Now I understand!
[09:37] ---
    It must be...
[09:39] ---
    ...love!
[09:44] ---
    I have fallen for you.
[09:46] ---
    I'll love you from this day forth, Jeanne!
[09:49] ---
    I must possess all of you. Be my bride!
[09:55] ---
    How dare you!
[09:59] ---
    What are you doing to Jeanne?!
[10:04] ---
    Oh my.
[10:06] ---
    Master Luca!
[10:13] ---
    We must fall back this day.
[10:15] ---
    But remember this! I will kill
    you when next we meet!
[10:18] ---
    I will be back, and I will kill you!
[10:22] ---
    You'll come see me again?!
[10:24] ---
    I can hardly wait!
[10:28] ---
    Jeanne, let go of me!
[10:30] ---
    I'll tear him limb from limb!
[10:32] ---
    Master Luca, no!
[10:47] ---
    Looks like things are about
    to get interesting, Noé!
[10:51] ---
    Seriously. What is your deal?
[11:03] ---
    He's dead.
[11:04] ---
    Who did this?
[11:15] ---
    I went through all the trouble to
    so utterly corrupt his name for him.
[11:20] ---
    But no matter.
[11:22] ---
    Whose name shall I claim next?
[11:26] ---
    Now then, everyone!
[11:28] ---
    The delightful Parade of Charlatan
    is about to begin!
[11:44] ---
    Mademoiselle Amelia!
[11:46] ---
    Monsieur Noé!
[11:50] ---
    So it's over?
[11:52] ---
    Of course, I don't believe every word,
[11:55] ---
    but I shall postpone Amelia Ruth's
    execution for the time being.
[12:00] ---
    However, you shall remain
    where I can keep an eye on you.
[12:04] ---
    I'll have her work as a
    live-in maid at Hôtel Chouchou.
[12:10] ---
    That goes for you, too, human!
[12:13] ---
    I grant that dubious book
    of yours has some power,
[12:17] ---
    but I've no intention
    of turning you loose.
[12:21] ---
    I take it Thomas Berneux is dead?
[12:24] ---
    And you've no idea who killed him, do you?
[12:28] ---
    Now I see.
[12:30] ---
    You've realized how valuable
    The Book of Vanitas and I can be.
[12:36] ---
    Very well. Use me to your heart's content.
[12:39] ---
    You'll be able to swiftly resolve
    incidents involving curse-bearers.
[12:45] ---
    And I'll no longer have to
    waste time searching for patients.
[12:52] ---
    Deliver this letter to the
    front desk at Hôtel Chouchou.
[12:56] ---
    Continue to use your room there
    while you are here in Paris.
[13:01] ---
    So you'll be keeping an eye on us?
[13:03] ---
    Your room? As in me, too?!
[13:07] ---
    Correct. You're that human's
    caretaker, are you not?
[13:12] ---
    Definitely not!
[13:13] ---
    Noé's right. I am his caretaker!
[13:17] ---
    You keep out of this!
[13:22] ---
    Now, I'll cut to the chase, Amelia.
[13:26] ---
    Yes?
[13:28] ---
    Did you see Charlatan?
[13:31] ---
    Charlatan?
[13:35] ---
    I learned something interesting
    from some of the vampires I've treated.
[13:39] ---
    Right before they realized
    they'd become curse-bearers,
[13:43] ---
    they had all seen a similar sight.
[13:46] ---
    They suddenly found
    themselves in a thick fog.
[13:49] ---
    And there, they saw
    the Parade of Charlatan.
[13:55] ---
    Fog? A parade?
[13:59] ---
    I feel as if I saw something like
    what you have described, but...
[14:04] ---
    Forgive me. I just can't remember.
[14:08] ---
    No dice, eh?
[14:10] ---
    Perhaps you could
    exam her, Noé Archiviste?
[14:17] ---
    You know who I am?
[14:20] ---
    I received a letter from your teacher.
[14:24] ---
    It included your name
[14:26] ---
    and a request that I provide
    assistance during your stay in Paris.
[14:32] ---
    Archiviste, the Fangs That Lay Bare Blood.
[14:46] ---
    Well, Noé? Would you
    like to drink my blood?
[14:52] ---
    Don't worry.
[14:54] ---
    You'll no longer see
    anything if you do drink it.
[15:03] ---
    Sis, what's Archiviste?
[15:06] ---
    It's a clan with the power to read
    people's memories by drinking their blood.
[15:12] ---
    But I heard they died out long ago.
[15:15] ---
    Please, if there is a way to search
    my memory, I'd like you to try.
[15:22] ---
    If there was any way
    I could be of service...
[15:28] ---
    Very well.
[15:41] ---
    Umm... Monsieur Noé?
[15:53] ---
    Deeper. I must go deeper.
[16:00] ---
    I will lay bare that memory,
    the one even she has forgotten.
[16:15] ---
    There. That must be it!
[16:22] ---
    Hm? Where am I?
[16:26] ---
    I was on my way home when...
[16:48] ---
    What is this?
[16:54] ---
    I bid you welcome...
[16:58] ---
    ...to the Charlatan Parade!
[17:05] ---
    It is an accursed thing.
[17:08] ---
    I'm done for if it catches me.
[17:24] ---
    There you are.
[17:26] ---
    Now, show me your true name.
[17:30] ---
    I'll be defiled. I'll be destroyed.
[17:32] ---
    My life will--!
[17:40] ---
    Monsieur Noé! What is it?! Monsieur Noé!
[17:44] ---
    That thing stole it. It was stolen!
[17:47] ---
    Her true name! That thing was behind it!
[17:54] ---
    I saw Charlatan.
[17:57] ---
    I know not whether it was
    a dream or whether it was real.
[18:01] ---
    But that thing corrupted
    Mademoiselle Amelia's name,
[18:05] ---
    I'm sure of it.
[18:07] ---
    If that dark being is creating
    all those curse-bearers,
[18:13] ---
    it shall pay dearly, mark my words!
[18:23] ---
    I have heard the entire tale, good people.
[18:27] ---
    Bonjour! How I've longed to see you, Noé,
[18:31] ---
    my beloved fiancé.
[18:33] ---
    Huh?
[18:34] ---
    What?
[18:35] ---
    Fiancé?
[18:36] ---
    No.
[18:37] ---
    Come now! Why go and spoil the fun?!
[18:46] ---
    This is Dominique de Sade.
[18:48] ---
    We're not betrothed.
    She is my childhood friend.
[18:52] ---
    And at her feet is
    her attendant, Kreisler.
[18:55] ---
    Those are real rose petals and flowers?!
[18:58] ---
    Hello there, Murr! It's been ages!
[19:01] ---
    Dominique de Sade,
[19:04] ---
    daughter of the
    Marquis de Sade, Lord of Altus.
[19:08] ---
    You have friends among
    the nobility? Imagine that.
[19:11] ---
    My teacher is her grandfather.
[19:15] ---
    Count Orlok, please forgive me
    for barging in like this.
[19:20] ---
    No matter. The House of de Sade's
    rude behavior predates your generation.
[19:27] ---
    Such a sharp tongue.
[19:30] ---
    I'm going to borrow Noé for a bit.
[19:34] ---
    Domi, wait. Please, Domi!
[19:37] ---
    I've been invited to a masquerade ball.
[19:40] ---
    You will escort me.
[19:42] ---
    Why me? You could take somebody else.
[19:45] ---
    I'm here because I was worried about you.
[20:02] ---
    Lord Ruthven will be there tonight.
[20:05] ---
    Rumor has it he is conducting
    his own research on curse-bearers.
[20:10] ---
    You may even learn more about
    that Charlatan you mentioned.
[20:22] ---
    The barrier, the product of an experiment
    gone wrong long ago, or so it's said.
[20:28] ---
    It's a spatial distortion linking this
    world to Altus, the vampires' world.
[20:39] ---
    Noé!
[20:55] ---
    Have you lost your mind?!
[20:57] ---
    Humans weren't meant to cross the--!
[20:59] ---
    This isn't my first visit to Altus.
[21:03] ---
    I learned that I can cross the barrier
    as long as I'm touching a vampire.
[21:07] ---
    And thankfully, you took my hand.
[21:12] ---
    So what's the problem?
[21:15] ---
    At any rate, let's step outside, Noé.
[21:20] ---
    Why did you follow us, human?
[21:22] ---
    Because I knew you wanted
    to separate Noé from me.
[21:29] ---
    You've got that much right.
    You really are an enigma, human.
[21:52] ---
    You get stars in your eyes over here, too?
[21:56] ---
    This city never changes
    no matter how many times I visit.
[22:01] ---
    Altus Paris.
