Short filmTranscript
00:00:00We got enough. There's been no progress. You're the best pharmacologist in the world.
00:00:05No more excuses. We're pulling the funding if you-
00:00:31Amelia Greenwood. I, Alaric Ravenloft, Elder of the Kingdom of the Night,
00:00:38do entrust you to Baron Edward Ravenloft as his wife and baroness.
00:00:46You may now kiss the bride.
00:00:51Amelia, there's been enough mistakes. You're not qualified to handle ledgers or their responsibilities to the manor.
00:00:58Isabella will be taking over from now on.
00:01:01Edward, I can still learn. I'm your wife and-
00:01:16Pathetic weaksblood.
00:01:21Edward's mine.
00:01:28Please!
00:01:33Edward!
00:01:38I'm freezing. Wait, where am I? What happened? I remember the lab and those visions. What were they?
00:01:45Who the-
00:01:50Damn. That mixed blood bitch survived.
00:01:52Did I just hear his thoughts?
00:01:54Time to finish the job.
00:01:55Wait, finish what job? Shit!
00:01:59Walter!
00:02:01What is that?
00:02:02Medicine. Sent by my mistress Isabella for Amelia.
00:02:06She's the baroness. Show some respect!
00:02:08How dare you, chambermaid!
00:02:09My mistress Isabella has the real power here. Lord Edward put her in charge of running this manor.
00:02:16This sounds an awful lot like the visions I just had.
00:02:18I'll figure this out later. I've got to get rid of him. He seems dangerous.
00:02:21I command you to release her!
00:02:23Oops, I guess that was a bit much.
00:02:26You're no real baroness.
00:02:28You're just a mixed blood. Only spared becoming a servant thanks to Elder Alaric using your marriage to undermine Lord Edward's position.
00:02:38You're nothing but a pawn.
00:02:40Screw this guy. What a dick.
00:02:42Yeah? Well this pawn happens to be a baroness. So release her and get out!
00:02:54What the hell did I wake up to?
00:03:03What the hell did I wake up to?
00:03:08You! Uh, chambermaid. What's your name?
00:03:12It's me, Sophia.
00:03:15Thank the blood moon you're awake. I was afraid you might not make it.
00:03:19What happened? Why am I banned?
00:03:23You need to feed to help you heal.
00:03:25What happened? Why am I banned?
00:03:29You need to feed to help you heal.
00:03:31You need to feed to help you heal.
00:03:45I'm eating your body.
00:03:48And this is your life. Your memories.
00:03:53And you really love this Edward?
00:03:56Isabella, she's a bitch.
00:03:58Yes, but from the moment I married him, he has barely paid any attention to me.
00:04:03When she arrived, he became even more indifferent.
00:04:06Okay.
00:04:08I don't fully understand, but I can sort of feel what you feel and remember what you do now.
00:04:14I'll try my best to get him back for you.
00:04:19Master Isabella.
00:04:21Amelia!
00:04:23What happened? Are you okay?
00:04:26Relax. I'm fine.
00:04:33It's time we get to work.
00:04:38So, somehow I've traveled to another world and am now in the body of a vampire baroness.
00:04:43And I was attacked by someone. Fantastic.
00:04:46Where am I exactly? What happened before this?
00:04:51You're still in Ravenloft Manor.
00:04:53Someone attacked you yesterday.
00:04:56Dr. Thorne says you were hit with wolfsbane and that you likely wouldn't make it.
00:05:00Wolfsbane? That's an herb.
00:05:03Isabella says it's contagious, so...
00:05:05Contagious? Okay.
00:05:08She ordered you to my chamber under my care.
00:05:11If I remember my folklore right, wolfsbane counters vampires.
00:05:16Amelia's memories seem to have some knowledge of magical herbs and remedies.
00:05:21Mix that with my knowledge of modern pharmacology and it should be easy to make something to heal these wounds.
00:05:28Got it.
00:05:30Thanks for the drink. I feel much better now.
00:05:33As for my injuries...
00:05:36There must be a place to grow herbs in this castle, right?
00:05:39Could you bring me some paper so I can write you a list of what I need?
00:05:43What do you mean? The doctor said it was untreatable.
00:05:46Trust me, I probably know a lot more than that idiot.
00:05:49Bring me something to write my list on and I'll show you.
00:05:52Okay. I can do that.
00:06:04What are you doing here?
00:06:06My lord. My lady.
00:06:08Ah, is she writing her will?
00:06:10Pardon me, my lady, but no.
00:06:12The Baroness is awake and has requested me to fetch some paper to make a list.
00:06:16A list?
00:06:18A list of what?
00:06:20A list of ingredients. To make a potion that will heal her.
00:06:23What does she know about that?
00:06:26Bring in what she asked for for now, Sophia. I'll come talk to her in a moment.
00:06:35She might be trying information about me or what happened to my uncle.
00:06:40Let's just continue with the contagion rumor. We'll figure the rest out later.
00:06:45So, what is this we hear you think you're better than Dr. Thorns?
00:06:54So, what is this we hear you think you're better than Dr. Thorns?
00:07:04I'm going to fix these wounds.
00:07:06You?
00:07:08Why didn't this mixed-blood bitch die?
00:07:10Why didn't this mixed-blood bitch die?
00:07:13The doctor clearly said...
00:07:15Was it her?
00:07:17Disappointed to see me awake?
00:07:19Don't be silly. Of course not.
00:07:22Eddie, I am afraid of the contagion, though.
00:07:25Nothing should come in or out of this room.
00:07:29I'm not contagious. Don't be ridiculous.
00:07:33And this is my manor, too. I get a say in what happens.
00:07:37This room is not conducive to my recovery.
00:07:40I want a better room.
00:07:42If Isabella says you're contagious, you are.
00:07:46Now, I'll put you back in your room, but you're not to come out or have visitors.
00:07:51Right, because Isabella really cares about my health.
00:07:55I also want the herbs on this list.
00:08:01Could I trouble you to inform the doctor Sofia will be coming later so that nothing goes wrong?
00:08:07You may have your herbs, though I don't know what you expect to accomplish with them.
00:08:12As for going wrong, what exactly are you getting at, Amelia?
00:08:16Oh, nothing. Just trying to make sure I get what I want.
00:08:30Thank you, Sofia.
00:08:32The herbs of this world are impressive.
00:08:34Only three days and my wounds are almost completely healed.
00:08:38This world?
00:08:41You've been very weird lately.
00:08:44But I'm really happy that your potion worked so well.
00:08:47Oops, gotta be more careful what I say.
00:08:50Being a vampire is crazy. The pain is almost gone already.
00:08:55What am I even saying? Has this been real?
00:08:59Now I've just got to watch out for Isabella. How about she's behind this?
00:09:02About that, why does Isabella hate mixed blood so much?
00:09:06Well, purebloods don't like us. They think we're weaker.
00:09:10But honestly, who's really weaker?
00:09:13They burn up in the sun way quicker than we do.
00:09:17Is that so?
00:09:24Is that so?
00:09:26I see you've cured yourself.
00:09:27I'd like to know when you became more of an expert than Dr. Thorne.
00:09:31I'm not as useless as you think, Edward. I can take care of myself.
00:09:35You address him as lord. Show some respect.
00:09:38I didn't realize the Lady Ashford had any right to tell me how I should speak to my husband.
00:09:44Enough, ladies.
00:09:46You think I wanted to come?
00:09:48I only did to make sure the doctor and I didn't get the herbs wrong.
00:09:52Oh, I see. Never mind if your wife has recovered.
00:09:55Just wanted to cover your own ass.
00:09:58Well, rest assured, they were very effective.
00:10:02If you want to see the results.
00:10:05Fine. I trust you.
00:10:08Even so, you are to stay away from everyone until you are fully healed.
00:10:12Especially my sister.
00:10:14Until I know there's no risk of contagion.
00:10:17Yes, we wouldn't want Elena to catch your... affliction.
00:10:21No need to worry. My affliction doesn't affect me.
00:10:25It doesn't affect your kind.
00:10:28Thank you ever so much for your touching visit.
00:10:32However, I must rest.
00:10:35So, bye-bye now.
00:10:44That is what I was talking about.
00:10:47You're so confident now.
00:10:49Something in the accident changed you.
00:10:52Something in the accident changed you.
00:10:55I've just decided that no one is coming to save me.
00:10:58And I need to do it myself.
00:11:01There is something I don't understand.
00:11:04What does Edward see in her?
00:11:06I'm his wife. Am I so terrible?
00:11:10I don't think so.
00:11:13But you are of mixed blood like me.
00:11:16And we're usually servants.
00:11:18Edward likely favors Isabella because she's the pureblood of the Ashford family.
00:11:23Not to mention your father, Hector, allied himself with Alaric with your marriage.
00:11:28Alaric and Edward have hated each other ever since the end of the war.
00:11:32The Night King took his rest and put Alaric in charge of the kingdom.
00:11:35Edward believes it should be him running things.
00:11:38Since his father likely would have had he not died mysteriously during the war.
00:11:42Anyway, Isabella's a nightmare.
00:11:45Her family became very wealthy after the war.
00:11:48Edward probably sees her as an opportunity for more wealth.
00:11:52Or he got distracted by her fantastic intellectual assets.
00:11:58Well, some things are going to change around here.
00:12:04I think I will take that rest now.
00:12:07I'll be back.
00:12:09I think I will take that rest now.
00:12:13Thanks again, Sophia.
00:12:28It's over, Edward.
00:12:31She's recovered, but since you've allowed me to spread the contagion rumor, she's confined.
00:12:36She won't be an issue.
00:12:38Yes, I understand that.
00:12:40But what I don't understand is her new confidence all of a sudden.
00:12:44And this new medical ability.
00:12:47What is she hiding?
00:12:50You should stop your jealous squabbling with her.
00:12:54I need peace to figure out what's going on.
00:12:58What?
00:13:00Oh, nothing.
00:13:02You know, she's still in there if you want to check out her scars.
00:13:04And I'm sure you could ask her for a physical too.
00:13:07I'm just saying she's acting strange.
00:13:09We need to see what it could mean.
00:13:11You told me that your uncle is affiliated with her father.
00:13:14And she's most likely a spy.
00:13:16So I don't see the problem for treating a traitor badly.
00:13:18The injury gives Alaric the option to use Hector's connection to his daughter to move against me.
00:13:23It's very unlikely, but regardless, I need more time before I try to seize power.
00:13:28Why? You're a lord. You have access to him.
00:13:31Stop acting like a spoiled brat!
00:13:32This is my uncle.
00:13:34Yes, my parents' deaths were suspicious.
00:13:36Yes, I suspect he was involved.
00:13:39But I can't just go around accusing or killing a family member on a hunch.
00:13:42Okay. Okay, Eddie. I'm sorry.
00:13:45I love you and I hate that you're married to another woman.
00:13:49Where are you going?
00:13:51For a walk.
00:13:53Eddie, I'm sorry. Please come back.
00:13:55I'm sorry. I miss you and you've just been so busy.
00:14:03Fine. Whatever.
00:14:26I don't like it.
00:14:28It's dangerous and not much of an upside for me.
00:14:30Edward's banned all wolvesbane from the manor. It won't be easy to get again.
00:14:34That's the beauty of it.
00:14:36Because of what happened, she's bound to her room.
00:14:39All of her meals are brought to her.
00:14:47Get me more poison.
00:14:49We'll put it in her food and we'll send it to her.
00:14:52That way she'll die a miserable death alone in that room.
00:14:55Good plan.
00:14:56Except any autopsy performed will reveal the obvious cause of her death.
00:15:01I'll be the first person to investigate.
00:15:03Of course.
00:15:05But you seem to be forgetting who will be performing the autopsy.
00:15:13Well then, add faking a medical report to my tab as well, I suppose.
00:15:20Exactly. We'll just blame it on her miracle cure.
00:15:23Now, I see you looking at my necklace.
00:15:27Go on.
00:15:29Take it.
00:15:41No.
00:15:42Just one.
00:15:43Leave it, please.
00:15:44You can have one.
00:15:45No, I know.
00:15:46But I don't want one.
00:15:47We're just about to have sex.
00:15:49No.
00:15:51Mixed blood. You look sexy.
00:15:53Will you dress up for me?
00:15:55Hello to you too, Elena.
00:15:57Elena, language.
00:15:59Your injuries are healed.
00:16:01If the man who's head of security need I remind you that Edward told you to remain in your room until...
00:16:05Henry, why do you always have to be so boring?
00:16:12Oh, the new style is for my brother?
00:16:15Oh, the new style is for my brother?
00:16:21I just haven't had much more to eat than soup in ages.
00:16:25Where is he anyway?
00:16:28And everyone else?
00:16:30Edward's probably with Isabella somewhere. They've been together a lot lately.
00:16:35Ouch.
00:16:36Really?
00:16:37What?
00:16:40I'm sorry.
00:16:41I'm sorry.
00:16:43I think you're a much better choice than that woman.
00:16:45Edward is just too stupid to see it.
00:16:47But I bet he will now, though.
00:16:49I like the new style.
00:16:51He's the Lord. He gets to do as he pleases.
00:16:56Well, I guess everybody's hungry. I will go see if I can find him.
00:17:04Looks like everybody's hungry. I'll go see if I can find him.
00:17:08What are you...
00:17:16What are you doing here?
00:17:19Waiting to eat.
00:17:21Are you sure you're healed fully?
00:17:23Wouldn't want to be responsible for infecting the entire Ravenloft family with your affliction, would you?
00:17:29Just here to afflict myself on everyone's day.
00:17:32And you needn't worry. I'm quite cured.
00:17:35Not even a scar.
00:17:37See?
00:17:38Oh, look. Her skin is all shiny and new.
00:17:42You know, maybe you should get her to make you a cure for your wrinkles, Isabella.
00:17:45I mean, it's the best skin I've ever seen on a mixed blood.
00:17:48Good for her, I'm sure.
00:18:08I'm sorry.
00:18:18Well, I'm famished. I hope Henry finds my brother soon so we can eat.
00:18:21You know, I wouldn't be so friendly with the mixed blood.
00:18:26We wouldn't want her to think she actually belongs here.
00:18:31We wouldn't want her to think she actually belongs here.
00:18:34Amelia belongs here more than you do.
00:18:36And my brother's not an idiot who'll eventually see through your assets and realize that you're just using him for prestige.
00:18:41How dare you?
00:18:44I am an Ashford and the name is well respected in the community.
00:18:48Where's Edward? I'm hungry.
00:18:51He said he'll be here in a minute.
00:18:53And he said to tell the kitchen it's okay to serve now.
00:18:55I'll do it.
00:19:04Hello everyone.
00:19:06How are you?
00:19:17You're healed then. Otherwise I'd expect you'd still be in your room like you ordered.
00:19:21This old thing?
00:19:22Well, Lord, I'm sure as long as you don't touch it directly you won't run into any complications.
00:19:29Or does the Lord of Ravenloft not have much experience with such things?
00:19:36Or does the Lord of Ravenloft not have much experience with such things?
00:19:39Amelia.
00:19:40Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amelia, how dare you talk like that?
00:19:43Everyone's here. Let's start. I'm starving.
00:19:53Wonderful. More soup. Do these people only eat soup or something?
00:20:00How polite.
00:20:06You. Are you actually going to eat your soup or are you just going to sit there and admire it?
00:20:10Honestly, I've eaten nothing but soup for the last three or four days.
00:20:13I was kind of hoping for something a bit more substantial.
00:20:16If you don't want it, I'll have it.
00:20:17Elena.
00:20:18What? If she doesn't want it, what's it matter?
00:20:20Elena, listen to your brother. It's not polite to eat someone else's food.
00:20:23I'm sure the kitchen will have more for you.
00:20:30Yay.
00:20:40Ow. Went down the wrong tube.
00:20:42Slow down. You're being childish.
00:20:44Maybe she's eaten too much.
00:20:47Perhaps you should slow down. I'm sure we're not going to run out of the food in the manor.
00:20:51What's the matter, Isabella? You're not actually concerned for another person, are you?
00:20:55Elena, quit messing around.
00:20:56Elena, quit messing around.
00:20:58Elena.
00:21:00Elena.
00:21:02Elena.
00:21:03Elena.
00:21:04Elena.
00:21:07Someone call the doctor.
00:21:10Amelia poisoned her.
00:21:11What?
00:21:12Yes, she went into the kitchen earlier.
00:21:14She must have told her mixed blood servant to put poison in the soup.
00:21:17She knew that Elena was hungry, so she just made a simple excuse to poison her.
00:21:21I knew something's been off with you lately. You finally snapped, didn't you?
00:21:24Is this true?
00:21:26Don't move, mixed blood.
00:21:29I'll go get the doctor.
00:21:32Please, why would I hurt Elena?
00:21:37My insides feel like lava. I'm scared. I don't want to die.
00:21:41Hang on, Elena. I'll save you. I promise.
00:21:48Please, why would I hurt Elena?
00:21:51Elena trusts you. I don't know what you can do but save her.
00:21:54No, don't finish her off.
00:21:59Open your mouth. I need to see.
00:22:00I can't.
00:22:02The wound is a wolf's fang.
00:22:05Stop fighting. I can save her.
00:22:08Sophia, go to my room and bring moon cherry blossoms, starburst moss, and some shadow roots. Hurry.
00:22:15I have the doctor. Help her.
00:22:20I'm sorry, but Amelia has been poisoned by the toxin mixed in with the food.
00:22:23Yes, it was in the soup that Amelia gave her.
00:22:25How do we save her?
00:22:26It's wolf's bane. As you all know, it is deadly to vampires.
00:22:29Unlike Amelia, who came up with some miracle cure that I do not think, for a moment, doesn't have any negative side effects we haven't seen yet.
00:22:37It's inside Elena, not on her skin.
00:22:40I don't think there's much chance she will survive.
00:22:42I banned wolf's bane. How the hell did he even get in?
00:22:45You know what? It doesn't matter. I ordered you to save her. Now!
00:22:49I banned wolf's bane. How the hell did he even get in?
00:22:52You know what? It doesn't matter. I ordered you to save her. Now!
00:22:56I'm sorry, Lord, but it is beyond anyone's skill.
00:22:59Bullshit! You're not even trying!
00:23:01What do you know about it? I've studied for hundreds of years.
00:23:04You what? Studied a few herbal recipes?
00:23:07I'm surprised you're still alive after making that reckless homemade remedy.
00:23:11I will not allow it on a patient that I'm responsible for.
00:23:14I will not allow it on a patient that I'm responsible for.
00:23:18I can provide something for her pain.
00:23:23Amelia, please.
00:23:25It's her.
00:23:28Reckless homemade recipe or not, she's dying. Let me try!
00:23:32You've done enough!
00:23:33Edward, calm down!
00:23:34Dr. Thorne doesn't know what to do.
00:23:36It's her sister's life.
00:23:44Maybe it is reckless, but I say to hell with making her feel discomfortable until she dies.
00:23:48My lady, I have what you asked for.
00:23:52Bring me the blood wine from the table!
00:23:54Bring me the blood wine from the table!
00:24:14Can you really save her?
00:24:15Yes. Please, just trust me.
00:24:17You're challenging the diagnosis of a doctor because your remedy worked once?
00:24:21Both of you, shut up!
00:24:22I don't see either of you offering solutions.
00:24:30Okay, now turn her on her side so her airway is free.
00:24:33She'll vomit out the wolf's bane while that concoction neutralizes it.
00:24:36After, I can treat the wounds inside.
00:24:51No!
00:25:22Oh.
00:25:40Thank the blood moon she survived. At least Amelia felt guilty enough to save her.
00:25:47What are we gonna...
00:25:48Edward, where are you going?
00:25:50Away. To think.
00:25:52If anything changes, find me right away.
00:25:55No.
00:25:56You stay here. I want to be alone.
00:26:00Maybe you should leave too.
00:26:02After all, you only seem to care about blaming Amelia for something I very much doubt she did.
00:26:08My sister could have died tonight.
00:26:10It's obvious she did this.
00:26:12You just don't want to see it.
00:26:15What an idiot! I can't believe him!
00:26:18How could he trust that two-faced, manipulative, literal vampire of a woman?
00:26:24What the hell is going on? Now my soup is being poisoned?
00:26:27That bitch! I know she's behind all of this!
00:26:30I suspect Isabella too, but we have no proof.
00:26:36That bitch! I know she's behind all of this!
00:26:39I suspect Isabella too, but we have no proof.
00:26:42I suspect Isabella too, but we have no proof.
00:26:44Yeah, well...
00:26:46You're right, but...
00:26:48She told an obvious, bold-faced lie.
00:26:51I mean, come on!
00:26:53Does he really believe I'm so devious yet stupid enough to take advantage of Elena's sudden, unexpected hunger,
00:26:59getting in front of everyone to go to the kitchen,
00:27:01then somehow convince you to poison my soup,
00:27:04and then turn around and offer it to Elena in front of them all?
00:27:09What?!
00:27:10Open the door! I want to talk!
00:27:13No! Leave me alone!
00:27:16I'm with Sofia!
00:27:18Open the door, Amelia! That's an order!
00:27:20Yeah? Well, you lost the right to order me around!
00:27:23All I did was save your sister!
00:27:25Who is this fool and what has she done with Amelia?
00:27:27I don't understand how she could have changed this much.
00:27:29What did you do to Elena?
00:27:32What did you do to Elena?
00:27:34It wasn't me! Why would I poison her just to treat her right after? Idiot!
00:27:39What? No, I meant...
00:27:42What was the treatment?
00:27:44I just need you to finish treating her!
00:27:46You don't even trust me!
00:27:48Aren't you afraid I'll poison her again?
00:27:51Why don't you let your so-called doctor or your dear Isabella take care of her?
00:27:55Stop being so stubborn!
00:27:57This is my sister! You know how much she means to me!
00:27:59Just get over it and come help me treat her!
00:28:02Oh, I'm sorry. Get over it?
00:28:04Of course! How silly of me!
00:28:06Hey, Sofia, you hear that? I'll just get over being lifted into the air and nearly having my head squeezed off!
00:28:12You know what?
00:28:14I think my wolf's mane hasn't fully healed yet!
00:28:16Could someone like me really go and take care of Elena?
00:28:19Oh, well, if you order me to do so!
00:28:22Fine. You go rest. Don't bother fretting over your dying sister-in-law.
00:28:37What? Another order for me, my lord?
00:28:41Oh, Henry. Sorry, I thought...
00:28:45That I was your very angry husband who I just saw storm out a second ago?
00:28:49Yeah. Sorry.
00:28:51What's up?
00:28:53I don't have long. I want to get back to Elena.
00:28:56I'm sorry about Edward.
00:28:58He's very protective of Elena. We both are.
00:29:02I came to ask you if you could please finish treating her.
00:29:15It was the first thing I did when I got back.
00:29:18I just wish he hadn't reacted that way.
00:29:21I care for Elena, too.
00:29:25Also, here.
00:29:29This is a dose of the finest blood concentrate our family makes.
00:29:32It's treasured across the realm.
00:29:34Hopefully it helps you recover.
00:29:36Wow. That's very kind of you.
00:29:48What, Henry? It's kind of late, you know.
00:29:53I'm glad Henry gave you that. It will help you heal.
00:30:01Oh. Before, um...
00:30:05I was too quick.
00:30:08I didn't know how to, um...
00:30:11I have a good order for you.
00:30:16You're to be at my side during the Blood Moon Festival we're hosting this weekend.
00:30:21Wear a nice dress. Good night.
00:30:51So, Elena, have you been to the Blood Moon Festival before? What can I expect?
00:30:56Um, I'd rather talk about how you were able to send me a message the night I was hurt.
00:31:01That's a really rare ability, you know that?
00:31:04I don't know. I was just suddenly able to after my attack.
00:31:08I can't really explain it.
00:31:11I don't know. I don't know.
00:31:14I don't know. I don't know.
00:31:17I don't know. I was suddenly able to after my attack.
00:31:20I can't really explain it.
00:31:23Can we just talk about the festival?
00:31:26Fine. Well, every ten years, the Blood Moon comes out, obviously.
00:31:31All the families celebrate, but our celebration is exclusive.
00:31:35Only the most high-ranking, noble families come to see Grandpa Dracula,
00:31:40who I think is coming out of his rest this year.
00:31:44What a fancy party!
00:31:46When a girl who's recovering will not be attending.
00:31:49Well, it'll be boring this year anyways.
00:31:52But I'm glad Edward is taking you instead of that liar Isabella.
00:31:59Amelia? Why would you take her?
00:32:02You said you would take me like you've done every year.
00:32:05Isabella. She saved my sister's life.
00:32:08I felt I owed her a little...butt.
00:32:14I love you.
00:32:25Father?
00:32:27I must speak with you. Now!
00:32:34Where were you off to in such a hurry?
00:32:38You haven't given us intel on Edward in days.
00:32:41What's going on?
00:32:43Intel?
00:32:44Yes, intel.
00:32:45You're supposed to get your hands on Edward's account, his estate's income and expenses.
00:32:49Is she stupid?
00:32:51Doesn't she understand he's trying to usurp Alaric?
00:32:54Come to think of it, why is she even attending the party?
00:32:58Why would Edward invite her?
00:33:01I'm sorry. It's been crazy lately.
00:33:05I'm sorry. It's been crazy lately.
00:33:07The family was attacked, I was injured and Edward's sister was poisoned last night.
00:33:11I was busy saving us both.
00:33:13What? You should have let her die.
00:33:16She's dangerous. She reads minds.
00:33:18Good lord, Amelia. No wonder you were screwed up.
00:33:21What kind of father is this?
00:33:23I'm sorry, Father.
00:33:26It was me who poisoned her.
00:33:28But I was almost caught.
00:33:30To keep my cover intact, I had to pretend to save her.
00:33:32But in the heat of the moment, I accidentally used the right herbs and neutralized the poison.
00:33:38Stop messing around. You could have ruined everything.
00:33:41I'm sorry. I thought I'd try and help.
00:33:43Just do as you're told.
00:33:45Lord Alaric is losing patience. He wants those accounts.
00:33:48Stop messing around with some strange, idiotic murder attempts.
00:33:51Alaric? The Elder? He's involved in this too?
00:33:57Alaric? The Elder? He's involved in this too?
00:34:02Of course he is, you idiot!
00:34:04I married you to Edward so that Alaric would take our family into his faction.
00:34:11He's our lord, our leader. I'm counting on him for everything.
00:34:15By the blood moon's red light, this girl is stupid.
00:34:21I really regret keeping her at all.
00:34:25All right, all right, don't get angry.
00:34:29Where were you off to in such a hurry?
00:34:32It's been so long, it's good to see you.
00:34:35Victoria, sorry, I need to...
00:34:38No way, mister. You can save your nasty little mixed-blood wife from her father later.
00:34:42I saw that you and Isabella aren't doing so well.
00:34:45What's going on there?
00:34:47Do not call her that.
00:34:49What?
00:34:50Amelia, don't call her that.
00:34:55I'll figure something out.
00:34:59Hector, the Night King is calling me. I need my wife.
00:35:03Of course, my lord.
00:35:05Come, Amelia. Grandpa is not a patient man.
00:35:24Oh, grandson. What has happened to my kingdom?
00:35:28You have a mixed-blood bride?
00:35:31My son allows purebloods to marry mixed now?
00:35:35It was Elder Alaric's decision.
00:35:37As a lord, I must follow his commands.
00:35:45I see. So why does he force a mixed-blood on his nephew, but not his own son Charles?
00:35:53Do not answer. It's far too soon.
00:36:02I see a lot has transpired during my slumber.
00:36:06My remaining son is doing a poor job.
00:36:10Though what I've seen of you intrigues me.
00:36:14What is the rest of your story?
00:36:24Hector.
00:36:25You have the gift.
00:36:27But how?
00:36:29You are of mixed-blood.
00:36:31Besides myself, only my granddaughter is known to possess it.
00:36:34How? What have you done?
00:36:40My memories recognize it from somewhere.
00:36:43That smell.
00:36:46I see you've detected something.
00:36:49You seem to be quite insightful, child.
00:36:52Do not say anything out loud.
00:36:54I wish to speak with you alone about your discovery.
00:37:00Can I get you some more wine? Or something?
00:37:03Perhaps I should summon Dr. Thorne.
00:37:05I believe you see him regularly.
00:37:07It's quite alright, grandson.
00:37:13Can I get you some more wine? Or something?
00:37:16Perhaps I should summon Dr. Thorne.
00:37:18I believe you see him regularly.
00:37:20It's quite alright, grandson.
00:37:23Overall, my health seems to be worsening.
00:37:30I could help you.
00:37:31Hope?
00:37:32I'm certain of it.
00:37:34If you let me examine you alone, I could figure out what's wrong and likely even make a remedy.
00:37:39Wait!
00:37:41Amelia, you've proven your skills, but this is the treatment of the Night King we're talking about.
00:37:46Are you sure about this, grandfather?
00:37:48I have not said this to a mixed blood often in my long life, but I like your spirit.
00:37:58Let's see what you can do.
00:38:01Leave us, grandson.
00:38:03Go find Alaric and tell him to wait outside the door.
00:38:08I will speak with him when she is finished.
00:38:19Now, let us see if you can indeed help me.
00:38:28Yes, I honestly believe I can.
00:38:35The time for pretense is over, I think.
00:38:43You have nothing to fear, my child.
00:38:46I do not harm those who are of use to me.
00:38:51So, what did you detect in my drink?
00:38:55It was very subtle.
00:38:57Likely easy to miss.
00:39:00I couldn't even place it at first.
00:39:02Now I recognize it.
00:39:05It's birch.
00:39:07Someone is trying to weaken your vampiric powers, possibly even kill you.
00:39:12Why, if I know, do I drink it?
00:39:17As you say, it was easy to miss.
00:39:22A foolish, weary old man's mistake.
00:39:26Now I pay for it with diminished powers that have yet to return, even though I have stopped consuming the poison.
00:39:36My kingdom.
00:39:38Look at its beauty.
00:39:41I was to give it to Edward's father, and perhaps Edward would inherit it someday.
00:39:47But alas, my firstborn was...
00:39:52My firstborn was stolen from me.
00:39:57My second son, Alaric, is incompetent.
00:40:02He accused me of an action behind my back, saying that I have grown old and confused.
00:40:09Allowing an incompetent despot to commit outrageous acts while I, Dracula, hide away.
00:40:26He suspects Alaric is behind the poisoning, but has no hard evidence of his actions yet.
00:40:33Yeah, I mean...
00:40:35I just want to see what he finds.
00:40:37Oh, there she is. Edward's new favorite.
00:40:40What is it with you? You barely enter a room and all the most important lords whisk you away.
00:40:45Even the Night King himself.
00:40:47Oh, I so don't have time for this. Get out of my way.
00:40:50Off to see Edward?
00:40:52Listen, sweetie, in case you've forgotten, I still have the power of Lady of Ravenloft Manor around here.
00:40:57Not for long.
00:41:03And what do you use that power for? Nearly killing me and Elena with wolf's bane?
00:41:09I know it was you.
00:41:11How fucking dare you?
00:41:21Enough! This is no way for nobility to act.
00:41:25Nobility? She's less than a fucking servant.
00:41:28Wait!
00:41:29Now go clean yourself up. We'll talk about this later.
00:41:33Eddie, she started it!
00:41:38What the hell was that?
00:41:40She nearly killed me. And she poisoned Elena.
00:41:45I know it. Why else do you think she accused me so fast that night?
00:41:48Look, I don't know. Isabella doesn't like you, I agree.
00:41:51But attack and try to kill you? That seems a bit extreme for her.
00:41:54Why are you defending her? You've seen how she's treated me for years. Hell, you just saw it.
00:41:58I saw that, yes. But do you have any evidence for your murder accusations?
00:42:04I thought so.
00:42:06Look, can we focus on my grandfather for now, please?
00:42:09What did he say?
00:42:12He's being poisoned. That's why he's sick.
00:42:17He suspects a lark is behind it.
00:42:20What are you saying? Again?
00:42:23Is there evidence?
00:42:24No, he doesn't have any evidence. He wants our help to get it.
00:42:27Amelia, this is crazy and treasonous. You need to stop him. Come to dinner.
00:42:35This is crazy and treasonous. You need to stop him. Come to dinner.
00:42:41Edward, please, trust me.
00:42:47She... I... have never betrayed you.
00:42:54Edward, what's it going to take to prove to you that I care about you and your family?
00:42:59I think the fact that I saved your sister and am now trying to save your grandfather should prove it.
00:43:04You're right. If I don't admit it, I suspected you.
00:43:10Well, actually, you're right.
00:43:13But I never once gave my father or your uncle anything useful against you.
00:43:17That's why he was so angry when you came by before.
00:43:23Like I said, for some reason, I care about you.
00:43:34I care about you.
00:43:38Edward, why Isabella? She's honestly horrible.
00:43:42Edward, a word?
00:43:45No.
00:43:47Oh, so this is the mixed-blood wife my father, Alaric, told me of.
00:43:54The name's Charles. I believe you've already met my wife, Victoria.
00:44:01The name's Charles. I believe you've already met my wife, Victoria.
00:44:07I believe you've already met my wife, Victoria.
00:44:11The name's Charles. I believe you've already met my wife, Victoria.
00:44:16Yes, that's me. What do you want?
00:44:18Oh, my, my, my. You are short on manners, aren't you?
00:44:24Seems you weren't exaggerating about her after all.
00:44:26Told you. Earlier, she even accused Isabella of attempted murder.
00:44:30No wonder she's been mentioning to me all night about how rotten you are.
00:44:34Maybe your father made a mistake and has rushed over here.
00:44:37Maybe your father made a mistake and has rushed alliance with her father.
00:44:42Poor Edward. Stuck with this unrefined mixed-blood.
00:44:45Is there a point to this?
00:44:48Oh, wait. I know.
00:44:51I saw you earlier with Edward in the hallway.
00:44:54I bet you want him to yourself, don't you?
00:44:58Not satisfied with his cousin?
00:45:00Jealous I've got the big lord while you've got the...
00:45:04What do you do anyway?
00:45:06I don't see how that's any concern of yours.
00:45:09Even if I did explain it, I doubt you could comprehend it.
00:45:16I see.
00:45:17Where are you going, mixed-blood?
00:45:20Away.
00:45:22Tired of pretentious boys and girls?
00:45:24Come.
00:45:28Aren't you mixed-blood? You knocked her over.
00:45:32Get your hands off my wife.
00:45:34Enough.
00:45:36You're lords of the realm. Act like it. Prepare for dinner.
00:45:48So, Emilia.
00:45:49I hear you recently acquired quite the talent for healing.
00:45:52My father seems to think he can help with his weakness.
00:45:55Yes, yes.
00:45:57Yes, yes. For a mixed-blood, you impressed me.
00:46:04And someone as old as I, that's saying something.
00:46:09I find this rather interesting.
00:46:11She was never of much use before.
00:46:13What exactly is your plan, Emilia?
00:46:15Figured you'd ask, so I prepared this while I was with the Night King.
00:46:19Should explain everything.
00:46:22Don't argue. Back me up on this, please.
00:46:25As it is quite complicated, I'd be happy to create it for you.
00:46:29However, I think Edward should be the one who oversees its administration to his grandfather.
00:46:35Yes, I agree. It's high time I see my grandson more.
00:46:40Talk to Thorne.
00:46:41He's good company, but I do prefer family more and more as I age.
00:46:47Wouldn't you agree, son?
00:46:49Wouldn't you agree, son?
00:46:53Yes, of course.
00:46:54Then it's settled.
00:46:55Emilia shall make my new medicine, and they shall bring it to me.
00:46:59However, now I am tired, so I will take my leave.
00:47:05Joyous blood, everyone.
00:47:09Do not screw up this potion.
00:47:11I will have it checked. I have my ways.
00:47:15I will have it checked. I have my ways.
00:47:18I like you, mixed blood, but I'm no fool.
00:47:21I do not make the same mistakes twice.
00:47:25If you cross me, you'll regret it.
00:47:28Though succeed, and I may be able to help you with your adulterous problem.
00:47:34Papa.
00:47:44You okay there?
00:47:45Yeah. Will you help me outside for a minute?
00:48:09You know, on my way over here, I was thinking about when we were still together.
00:48:15We had some wonderful times.
00:48:19You were always so fun, so handsome.
00:48:25Now you're a little serious.
00:48:29But still, I can see the old Edward in you.
00:48:31We should hang out again.
00:48:34Victoria, we're both married. That's not really appropriate.
00:48:39I just mean, have a little fun.
00:48:44Almost like we used to.
00:48:49Come on.
00:48:51It'll just be you.
00:48:53And me.
00:48:55No funny business.
00:48:58I'm just kidding.
00:48:59It'll just be you.
00:49:01And me.
00:49:03No funny business.
00:49:05What do you say?
00:49:06I say don't let the door hit you on the way out.
00:49:11Think about it.
00:49:13Buy it.
00:49:17Buy it.
00:49:18That was pretty rude, Amelia.
00:49:19I was rude. So sorry. Next time I'll have more blatant infidelity happening right in front of me.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24It'll just be you. And me. No funny business.
00:49:28Wait.
00:49:44Almost done.
00:49:46I am creating a very complicated, never-before-made potion that will help restore your grandfather's powers.
00:49:52Even though I now find out you've cheated on me with two girls.
00:49:55And I have done nothing but try and help your family since I got here.
00:49:59The least you could do is give me the time I need to finish this damn thing properly.
00:50:03Amelia, what the hell are you talking about?
00:50:05I did nothing with Victoria. She's my ex.
00:50:07Oh, and that's supposed to make me feel better?
00:50:09You aren't even really my wife.
00:50:11Alaric forced us together. We had no choice.
00:50:13So I haven't really cheated on you.
00:50:23I'm sorry. I was stupid.
00:50:29Yes, you were. Now get out and let me work.
00:50:43My father was a good man. And I'm sure that monster Alaric killed him.
00:50:49I'm sorry for the way I treated you.
00:50:52You need to understand. I thought you were with him.
00:50:55Now I'm going to see how hard you're working to save my family.
00:51:05I just want you to know how much I appreciate it.
00:51:11I won't give you the time you need.
00:51:18You're an idiot. And I'm sorry about your dad.
00:51:23I'll be ready tomorrow.
00:51:38You didn't need to be so theatrical about it, boy. I'm just checking a damn file.
00:51:49It doesn't contain anything harmful to our kind.
00:51:53But that doesn't mean that it'll work.
00:51:56Let's get on with it, then.
00:52:05Thank you, Amelia. I do hope your efforts will pay off.
00:52:12I'm sorry.
00:52:14Thank you, Amelia. I do hope your efforts are not in vain.
00:52:45I feel my powers returning.
00:52:50And as promised, Edward, as Night King,
00:52:54I command you to restore your wife's position as Baroness of your Manor in both title and power.
00:53:05Time to celebrate.
00:53:06Edward, let's go back to your place and crack open a nice bottle of blood concentrate wine.
00:53:14Okay.
00:53:20Thank you for trusting me. It means a lot.
00:53:24Speaking of trust, what was the reason you wanted me to handle this tonight?
00:53:28Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.
00:53:31During the Blood Moon Festival, I saw Dr. Thorne speaking to my father.
00:53:35After he went outside, I followed him and he has a crate of birch wood hidden.
00:53:40You have to admit it's suspicious, since he was his doctor.
00:53:49Lillia, what are you doing?
00:53:51Shh.
00:53:59You're coming? Everyone's inside.
00:54:01I just spotted Dr. Thorne doing something suspicious.
00:54:04Keep them busy. I want to check it out.
00:54:11They came back early. I had to wait a little bit before they came inside.
00:54:18Yeah, but it's freezing.
00:54:20The magic enchantment on these crates only keeps the concentrate blood fresh for so long.
00:54:24That's just as Isabella's going to be pissed if I get this to the buyer and it's spoiled.
00:54:28Then neither of us get paid.
00:54:30I'm not sticking around with these nobles for nothing.
00:54:32Yeah, here, take this. Be thankful it is cold. It'll last even longer.
00:54:40Okay.
00:54:43Isabella is stealing? I can finally get her for something.
00:54:47With my powers back, I can check for more evidence in the books.
00:54:50She's an idiot. I'm sure she made a mistake somewhere.
00:54:53Oh, hey, I'll get Sophia to check the inventory.
00:55:07It's done then.
00:55:08Yes, Father.
00:55:10You know if anything goes wrong, Victoria will be blamed.
00:55:13Exactly, you idiot. She's insignificant, easily replaced.
00:55:17You're supposed to be my heir.
00:55:19If you're going to act like a coward little boy, just go home.
00:55:21Come to think of it, take Hector with you. He may still be of use.
00:55:23I'm not a boy. I want to witness it.
00:55:27No, you just screwed something up.
00:55:30Besides, the old man's stronger now. You may break your mind's defenses and figure out what we're up to.
00:55:34As you wish, Father.
00:55:39You know if anything goes wrong, Victoria will be blamed.
00:55:54What are you up to?
00:55:55Preparing the wine. Since apparently you lack any competent servants around here.
00:55:59That's not what I mean, and you know it.
00:56:01Ah, I see.
00:56:04Well, Edward and I were together long before you got here.
00:56:07We had some lovely times together. He's quite the catch.
00:56:10What? That's not what I-
00:56:11Sweetheart, everyone knows your marriage to Edward is a joke.
00:56:15I should thank you though.
00:56:17You have put him in a much better position.
00:56:21I always did prefer him over his cousin.
00:56:24I'll just have to find a way to leave Charles for Edward.
00:56:27Is the wine ready yet? Grandfather's becoming impatient.
00:56:30Grandfather's asking for you.
00:56:33Hurry up. He's not known for his patience when it comes to wine.
00:56:37The red wine glasses are in the back, by the way.
00:56:40Pleasure chatting with you.
00:56:44Werewolf who was a Zen master. I suppose that would make him a werewolf.
00:56:50Where is the wine?
00:56:51Victoria couldn't reach the glasses. She's not a servant, Father.
00:56:54Perhaps if Edward wasn't so cheap with his staff, we wouldn't have this issue.
00:56:58Actually, Edward doesn't handle those things.
00:57:00That would be Isabella.
00:57:03Although now I suppose it's my job.
00:57:05What?
00:57:06I restored her powers, and thanks for healing my grandfather.
00:57:09Well, now we know who to blame for the lack of quick wine service.
00:57:13What did you say Charles and Hector had gone to again?
00:57:16Pressing business back home. He apologizes.
00:57:18I sent Hector with him to assist.
00:57:20More pressing than celebrating the king's health.
00:57:23And what business would that be exactly, the monarch?
00:57:25Finally! Thank you very much.
00:57:31You're here, Victoria, of the Pureblood Velhart family.
00:57:35Thank you for your family's contributions.
00:57:39Never once thanked me for anything I ever did.
00:57:42Well, won't matter soon.
00:57:45Hope they all enjoy the taste of the wine.
00:57:48Cheers.
00:57:50Cheers.
00:57:51Hope they all enjoy the taste of the wine.
00:57:54Cheers.
00:57:59Hope they all enjoy the taste of the wine.
00:58:12It's poisoned!
00:58:13What is the meaning of this?
00:58:16Who dares attempt to murder the Night King?
00:58:19Who did this?
00:58:21Who is it, you?
00:58:22No, father. It's the wine. We've all been poisoned.
00:58:24Servants! What's going on here, girl?
00:58:27I don't know, my lord.
00:58:28Lies! She brought the wine!
00:58:30Convenient, your son having business.
00:58:33Right before a poisoning attempt.
00:58:36What are you hiding?
00:58:40Mark my words.
00:58:43There will be investigation into this.
00:58:46Girl, you will remain here under guard until it's done.
00:58:49But, but I had nothing to do with this, my lord.
00:58:52It was Charles or Alaric. It must have been.
00:58:55All I did was bring out the wine and pour it.
00:58:57Silence. I have spoken.
00:59:00You will be treated fairly.
00:59:03There will be an investigation.
00:59:10But...
00:59:20You saved our lives tonight.
00:59:22For that, I will always be grateful.
00:59:24My uncle made one hell of a mistake when he heard me.
00:59:27You're an amazing person, Amelia.
00:59:31That's honestly really nice to hear you say.
00:59:35Thank you, Edward. I...
00:59:37Amelia, I was wondering if I could...
00:59:41Eddie!
00:59:43Going to bed?
00:59:45Oh, it's you.
00:59:47What do you want?
00:59:48Isabella.
00:59:49We're having a conversation here.
00:59:52About what?
00:59:55Actually, if you ask me, I think it was a mistake giving her her power back.
01:00:00You know, governing a manor is so difficult, Eddie...
01:00:02Isabella!
01:00:03If I wanted your opinion, I'd ask for it.
01:00:07I do appreciate you covering for me.
01:00:11You've done such a fabulous job at governing.
01:00:14I can't wait to take a look at the books.
01:00:16I mean, even today I saw Dr. Thorne working very hard in the malls.
01:00:21Why are you telling me that? How does that concern me?
01:00:24It just seemed a bit strange.
01:00:26He came out with a crate and gave it to Walter, who said there was a buyer for it?
01:00:32But I'm sure that's how it's always done.
01:00:34I'll bet all the income is there and accounted for.
01:00:38They did mention your name, specifically.
01:00:42So I'm sure you're well aware and have recorded it all.
01:00:47Of course. I document everything.
01:00:51But I update my books at the end of the week.
01:00:53So, if you don't mind, I'll just go take care of that and I'll hand this over to you as soon as I'm done.
01:00:57No, I don't think so.
01:00:59Give the key back to Amelia.
01:01:01I would like for her to check the books before you touch anything.
01:01:04Rest well, Isabella.
01:01:35Where are you going?
01:01:37Earlier I was going to ask you on a date, but after that, I think we should make it a study date tonight.
01:01:44Uh, okay.
01:01:58Thanks, Mr. Fancy.
01:02:01Thanks, Mr. Fancy.
01:02:04Where are the books?
01:02:21I'll get some coffee and wine.
01:02:25It'll take a while.
01:02:30Okay.
01:03:01What?
01:03:02Nothing. I was just an idiot.
01:03:05I had no idea what I was missing.
01:03:07You're kind of amazing.
01:03:09Damn straight.
01:03:11You want me to spend a few hours checking through this?
01:03:13Don't let them escape.
01:03:21You're distracting me.
01:03:31Just as I thought.
01:03:33A large discrepancy of blood concentrate, unreported.
01:03:45Hurry up, idiots.
01:03:47Edward just cast us on the stairs.
01:03:49Going on a day trip?
01:03:57Going on a day trip?
01:04:01When you could try and escape, it's still pretty light out.
01:04:04Wonder how far you can get.
01:04:06Henry.
01:04:07Escape?
01:04:09What do you mean?
01:04:10Only this.
01:04:12Selling concentrate blood on the black market and pocketing some of the proceeds yourselves.
01:04:17Sophia already checked the warehouse and what a shocker, it doesn't match the ledger.
01:04:23Wise.
01:04:24I don't expect the mixed blood to understand the complex accounting and inventory of the manor.
01:04:31This is clearly a mistake.
01:04:32I told Edward that I should take a look at them beforehand, but no.
01:04:35I have proven you're embezzling and a thief.
01:04:38You attempting to flee proves your guilt even more.
01:04:42Next, Henry will prove you nearly killed me and Elena.
01:04:50Henry will prove you nearly killed me and Elena.
01:04:53You can't prove it isn't true.
01:04:54Really?
01:04:56You wouldn't mind opening that shop?
01:05:00Sure.
01:05:06It seems the doctor has been paid handsomely.
01:05:09I agree.
01:05:10But Amelia's not the only one who's good at investigating.
01:05:13Inventory and accounting, Dr. Thorne.
01:05:15I found quite a few issues in your inventory reports.
01:05:19As for you, Walter.
01:05:21Sophia told me all about how you were messing with one of the vaults' sewer.
01:05:25The night Elena was ported.
01:05:27It couldn't possibly have been Amelia.
01:05:29She only spent a few seconds inside.
01:05:31Do you have anything to say for yourself?
01:05:33Don't you say a word, Walter.
01:05:34I'm out of hell with it. I'm dead either way.
01:05:37She forced me to do it.
01:05:39Her father ordered me to do whatever she said on pain of death.
01:05:43Pathetic.
01:05:45Clearly he's trying to save his own skin.
01:05:47And between his word and my father's?
01:05:49With the reputation that he has.
01:05:54How dare you?
01:05:55The Ashford name is well respected in this community.
01:05:57You want to talk about respect?
01:05:59How about you address me as Baroness?
01:06:05How about you address me as Baroness?
01:06:09I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here.
01:06:11And with Dr. Thorne's name conveniently on that trunk,
01:06:15I say this one is as good as sold.
01:06:17Doesn't prove anything. Clearly he stole it.
01:06:19I mean, we can't prove any of this.
01:06:21And Edward would never go for it, so...
01:06:28This necklace looks very much like the one I gave you, Isabella.
01:06:31What exactly is he doing in Dr. Thorne's trunk?
01:06:37I think it's pretty obvious Henry and my wife have done an excellent job.
01:06:41But there is still one unsolved crime I'd like to end the evening with.
01:06:45Henry.
01:06:46What?
01:06:47Henry.
01:06:48Henry.
01:06:49Henry.
01:06:50Henry.
01:06:51Henry.
01:06:52Henry.
01:06:53Henry.
01:06:54Henry.
01:06:55I'd like to end the evening with.
01:06:56Henry.
01:06:57Did you do as I asked this morning before the sun rose?
01:07:00Yes, Lord.
01:07:01Birchwood was exactly where Amelia said it was.
01:07:05Dr. Thorne.
01:07:06Care to shed some light on why you have a hidden supply of the key ingredient
01:07:10used in the poisoning of my grandfather?
01:07:13What? Birchwood?
01:07:16What are you talking about?
01:07:17Don't waste our time.
01:07:18I saw you with my own eyes.
01:07:21Answer him.
01:07:25I saw you open it with my own eyes.
01:07:28Answer him.
01:07:31Hector would kill me if I told him anything.
01:07:34No, bad chance.
01:07:36I'm not saying a word.
01:07:39Afraid my father will kill you?
01:07:42What?
01:07:43There's no way she could possibly know I was poisoning Dracula for him.
01:07:46It doesn't matter.
01:07:48They'll never find my lab in the woods in a million years.
01:07:51So they'll never get any real proof.
01:07:54I'll just be quiet.
01:07:57So quiet.
01:08:00I suppose it doesn't matter much, though.
01:08:02As soon as the sun goes down, Henry and I will be heading out to your lab in the forest
01:08:06to collect the hard evidence.
01:08:08What?
01:08:09I haven't even told her about...
01:08:13How did you find out about my lab?
01:08:15Well, that settles that.
01:08:17Well done, Henry.
01:08:19Amelia.
01:08:21As for you three, as Lord of this manor,
01:08:24I declare there has been enough evidence presented for you to be detained pending an investigation.
01:08:30Further, I declare a termination of all contracts and future dealings with the Ashford family,
01:08:37especially when concerning Lady Isabella Ashford.
01:08:43Henry, take them away.
01:08:46No.
01:08:48You mixed-blood bitch.
01:08:53That's baroness bitch to you.
01:09:28You're so welcome.
01:09:37Just a minute.
01:09:39Almost done.
01:09:43Come in.
01:09:45You look fabulous, my lady.
01:09:48A letter came for you. It's from your father.
01:10:01Father, you summoned me?
01:10:08Amelia. Good, you've come.
01:10:12Alaric wants to speak with you.
01:10:17Alaric wants to speak with you.
01:10:19Your father and I thought it would be a good idea to clear the air between us.
01:10:23You have forgotten where your loyalty lies.
01:10:26I know that Edward is handsome, but you have forgotten where the true power lies in this kingdom.
01:10:33Of course, Lord.
01:10:35That is why I decided to come.
01:10:38Anyone so cunning, they can get so close to killing the Night King and still get away with it.
01:10:45I do not wish to be against them.
01:10:47About time you come to your senses and return to us, girl.
01:10:50Yes, I...
01:10:52I was foolish and fell for Edward, but...
01:10:58I finally realized...
01:11:02He never truly appreciated me.
01:11:04Indeed.
01:11:05If that is true, you will kneel and swear your loyalty to me.
01:11:18I swear I have returned to you, Lord.
01:11:22So be it.
01:11:25We were worried about you, Amelia.
01:11:27But your mind-reading capabilities sure prove very useful.
01:11:30Mind-reading?
01:11:32Oh, you're not going anywhere, my little mixed-blood daughter.
01:11:35Yeah, we know you've learned to read minds.
01:11:38But you were never loyal.
01:11:41You are a traitor.
01:11:44And you're too dangerous to be left alive.
01:11:49Yes, mind-reading.
01:11:51How else would you have known about my plan to kill my father?
01:11:54Do you really expect to believe that you spilled the wine by accident?
01:11:57Amelia, I assure you of that.
01:11:59I wasn't aware that skill could be taught.
01:12:01I suppose I should visit my niece once I am finally crowned...
01:12:05The Night King?
01:12:07You're disgusting and pathetic.
01:12:10You will never be Night King.
01:12:15Come out, nephew!
01:12:18You think I'd be foolish to think she'd come alone?
01:12:21Although...
01:12:23You think I'd be foolish to think she'd come alone?
01:12:26Although, it was nice to have her kneel at my feet.
01:12:29Although, I was very honest.
01:12:31Of her?
01:12:33Yes, come out!
01:12:35You too, Charles?
01:12:37I was very happy that you imprisoned Victoria.
01:12:41Let her go, Lark.
01:12:45Cretnot, you're weak.
01:12:47So are you for trying to challenge me.
01:12:50My son would do more for this land than he ever did.
01:12:53With all your forces, you could have mustered.
01:12:56You choose to fall into my trap with just your bodyguard.
01:13:00Pathetic, sentimental, foolish.
01:13:04I'll remember this day when I visit my father and wrench that crown from his severed head!
01:13:13So that's it, Uncle, huh?
01:13:15You poisoned Dracula, weak at hand.
01:13:17Then attempted to kill him with more poison.
01:13:19And when that failed, you lure me here by threatening an unarmed girl.
01:13:22All so you can crown yourself, what, Night King?
01:13:24Precisely, nephew.
01:13:26No sense in hiding anything now, not to a dead man.
01:13:29Tonight you face the Elder.
01:13:31Your puny little powers are no match for mine.
01:13:33It's time to die, cousin.
01:13:35Die?
01:13:36Just like your parents did.
01:13:39Mewling, screaming, and crying!
01:13:45Yes, I killed your parents.
01:13:49I especially liked watching your father die.
01:13:51He was always the favorite one.
01:13:53And our father never gave me the recognition I deserved.
01:13:56That's why he's next.
01:13:58Father, don't you think Edward is just dying to know how his parents died?
01:14:04They didn't die tripped into some noble battle of werewolves.
01:14:10Oh, no.
01:14:12They were killed by weak, pathetic humans.
01:14:18My father trapped them and let the humans drip wolfsbane on them.
01:14:25Slowly, while he watched.
01:14:32You find it amusing how your father died in agony.
01:14:35You realize how hopeless your situation is.
01:14:37And you've gone mad.
01:14:39It's just, I never thought I would get such an easy confession out of you
01:14:43for literally every single crime you've committed.
01:14:47You seriously think you'll survive this to tell anyone?
01:14:50I wouldn't have to.
01:14:56You seriously think you'll live to tell anyone?
01:14:58I wouldn't have to.
01:15:00So your father invited you over for some father-daughter time.
01:15:04Trap.
01:15:05Trap.
01:15:06Why would he think she'd accept?
01:15:09The old scared Amelia might have.
01:15:12But this new one...
01:15:17I say we do it.
01:15:18No.
01:15:19Hear me out.
01:15:20I go.
01:15:21You two follow.
01:15:23Maybe I can get them to confess everything while you witness it.
01:15:26We'll take Elena with us.
01:15:28Tell her to stay with Dracula.
01:15:29Both of them using their mind-reading powers combined could be strong enough
01:15:32to connect through Amelia and see what she sees.
01:15:34You really think that'll work?
01:15:36My bad.
01:15:37We spent months in the woods trying to find out that.
01:15:39Fine.
01:15:40But the second I sense you're in danger, I'm pulling you out of there.
01:15:44So that's exactly what we did.
01:15:46You might have not known, Uncle,
01:15:48but if two mind-readers focus hard enough,
01:15:51they can connect to a third.
01:15:53Let's just say Grandfather knows everything now.
01:15:58That's the most pathetic lie I've ever heard.
01:16:01Is it?
01:16:03My father was a good man.
01:16:06You will die for this, Uncle.
01:16:08I took Victoria, and now we have Amelia.
01:16:14We are the eldest of the Ravenlofts!
01:16:17We deserve to rule!
01:16:20Anybody who stands in our way shall die!
