WEBVTT

00:00:13.977 --> 00:00:17.939
- We all know the dangers
that lurk outside our gates.

00:00:19.566 --> 00:00:22.485
- But under the protection
of our Dhampir Guardians,

00:00:22.527 --> 00:00:24.404
we are safe.

00:00:26.656 --> 00:00:29.993
- The future of the Dragomir
family is in your hands.

00:00:30.035 --> 00:00:31.578
- Lissa, as your godfather,

00:00:31.619 --> 00:00:34.122
I promised your family I would
always look out for you.

00:00:34.164 --> 00:00:35.790
- Spirit use is real.

00:00:35.832 --> 00:00:36.958
- This feels dangerous.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:38.126
- Maybe compulsion
is just the start

00:00:38.168 --> 00:00:39.586
of what Spirit Users can do.

00:00:39.627 --> 00:00:41.921
- Rose is one of our best
Guardian Novices,

00:00:41.963 --> 00:00:43.173
but she's a handful.

00:00:43.214 --> 00:00:44.674
- Will you teach me?

00:00:48.553 --> 00:00:50.430
- Rose saw through my eyes.

00:00:50.472 --> 00:00:52.182
I feel like you've always been
pretty tuned into me.

00:00:52.223 --> 00:00:54.976
- But this feels different
somehow.

00:00:55.018 --> 00:00:59.147
- Novices, the benchmark tests
are simulated surprise attacks.

00:00:59.189 --> 00:01:01.274
- A way forward
has been suggested.

00:01:01.316 --> 00:01:03.735
The only way
to test a Novice's acumen

00:01:03.777 --> 00:01:05.820
is by confronting them
with a real Strigoi.

00:01:07.197 --> 00:01:09.616
- It's too dangerous.
- Always be ready.

00:01:14.913 --> 00:01:17.999
Move it, Novice.

00:01:24.214 --> 00:01:26.216
- Congratulations.

00:01:26.257 --> 00:01:29.385
You five represent the Novices
who exemplify the acumen

00:01:29.427 --> 00:01:31.513
fit for our Guardian ranks.

00:01:31.554 --> 00:01:34.015
Your objective is
to escort a Moroi Royal

00:01:34.057 --> 00:01:35.683
to a predetermined location

00:01:35.725 --> 00:01:38.228
and secure it by sundown.

00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:39.854
You will then keep
your charge alive

00:01:39.896 --> 00:01:41.189
by any means.

00:01:41.231 --> 00:01:43.525
At nightfall, Bravo Team
will enter the field

00:01:43.566 --> 00:01:44.859
and come for you
and your charge.

00:01:44.901 --> 00:01:49.614
If your patch is popped
by Bravo Team, you fail.

00:01:49.656 --> 00:01:53.660
If your Royal's patch
is popped, you all fail.

00:01:53.701 --> 00:01:56.121
If you survive Bravo Team's
onslaught tonight,

00:01:56.162 --> 00:01:57.831
we'll see you
on the Royal Tour.

00:01:57.872 --> 00:02:01.042
In lieu of having
an actual Moroi in the field,

00:02:01.084 --> 00:02:03.128
one of you will be assigned
the role.

00:02:03.169 --> 00:02:05.213
Rose, since you're
atop the rankings,

00:02:05.255 --> 00:02:06.589
I'm making you team leader

00:02:06.631 --> 00:02:08.049
and leaving the decision
to you.

00:02:08.091 --> 00:02:10.552
- Team leader? Me?

00:02:10.593 --> 00:02:12.053
But what about--
- Decision's made.

00:02:12.095 --> 00:02:13.513
- Putting Rose in charge
of protecting

00:02:13.555 --> 00:02:16.099
anyone not named Lissa
isn't gonna end well.

00:02:16.141 --> 00:02:17.684
Maybe you should just
flunk us all now.

00:02:20.937 --> 00:02:22.564
- Heavy is the head, Hathaway.

00:02:22.605 --> 00:02:24.482
You want to be
Vasilissa's guardian?

00:02:24.524 --> 00:02:26.234
Leading your team to victory
is a hell of a way

00:02:26.276 --> 00:02:28.403
to make your case.

00:02:28.444 --> 00:02:30.238
Everything you need
is in these rucksacks.

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.532
Get changed and get going.

00:02:32.574 --> 00:02:34.325
Good luck.

00:02:34.367 --> 00:02:36.953
- Novices, pa-shon!

00:02:50.008 --> 00:02:51.801
- Well, that's a great start.

00:02:53.219 --> 00:02:54.470
- I'm good.

00:02:54.512 --> 00:02:57.182
Probably could have done
without that fifth pint.

00:02:57.223 --> 00:02:59.684
- Yeah, no shit.

00:02:59.726 --> 00:03:01.519
- Here.

00:03:01.561 --> 00:03:03.146
Hydrate.

00:03:09.652 --> 00:03:11.196
Looks like we're heading
to a structure

00:03:11.237 --> 00:03:13.156
a few hours away.

00:03:13.198 --> 00:03:16.159
Herk, you're with me
on near guard.

00:03:16.201 --> 00:03:17.744
And Dean, you're on far rear.

00:03:17.785 --> 00:03:20.330
Meredith, navigate
and take far front.

00:03:20.371 --> 00:03:22.081
- I knew I shouldn't
have come back early.

00:03:22.123 --> 00:03:25.668
- And Eddie, you're our Moroi.

00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:27.170
- Why me?

00:03:27.212 --> 00:03:29.923
Last I checked, I'm higher
in the rankings than they are.

00:03:29.964 --> 00:03:31.174
- You're also the youngest,

00:03:31.216 --> 00:03:32.508
with the least amount
of field training.

00:03:32.550 --> 00:03:34.719
Now, we've got a lot
of ground to cover

00:03:34.761 --> 00:03:37.347
and not enough daylight
to do it in.

00:03:37.388 --> 00:03:40.475
So get dressed
and let's get going.

00:04:09.045 --> 00:04:10.630
- Come on!

00:04:10.672 --> 00:04:12.507
Out with you.

00:04:12.548 --> 00:04:15.343
All right, let him go.

00:04:15.385 --> 00:04:17.804
Come on!

00:04:17.845 --> 00:04:18.888
- Come on!

00:04:24.185 --> 00:04:25.812
- Move it.

00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:40.827
- You're one ugly bastard,
aren't you?

00:05:26.622 --> 00:05:28.583
- It's like a drug, isn't it?

00:05:28.624 --> 00:05:30.460
- Andre.
- The search for answers.

00:05:30.501 --> 00:05:31.711
- You're not real.

00:05:31.753 --> 00:05:33.421
You're just part
of the Darkness.

00:05:33.463 --> 00:05:35.173
- You can't run from me,
you know.

00:05:35.214 --> 00:05:36.424
- Stop it.

00:05:36.466 --> 00:05:38.551
- The Darkness will
always find you

00:05:38.593 --> 00:05:41.804
and twist away at your insides
until you remember!

00:05:41.846 --> 00:05:43.473
- Leave me alone!

00:05:51.314 --> 00:05:52.899
- Sandovsky's Syndrome?

00:05:52.940 --> 00:05:54.734
That's terminal.

00:05:54.776 --> 00:05:57.362
This is a * joke, right?

00:06:06.245 --> 00:06:09.040
Can you please say something?

00:06:09.082 --> 00:06:11.292
- How long do we have?

00:06:11.334 --> 00:06:13.503
- Not long enough.

00:06:15.505 --> 00:06:16.964
- Dad--
- Absolutely not.

00:06:17.006 --> 00:06:18.132
- I can heal him.

00:06:18.174 --> 00:06:19.550
- Heal, not cure.

00:06:19.592 --> 00:06:21.302
- The toll it would take
would be too great.

00:06:21.344 --> 00:06:22.929
You know that.

00:06:22.970 --> 00:06:25.306
- Sonya, if anything like that
were to happen again--

00:06:29.185 --> 00:06:32.939
- Apologies for interrupting
at such an hour, Victor, but...

00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:35.942
I'm afraid I made
a terrible mistake.

00:06:37.735 --> 00:06:40.321
- What you've done
is unconscionable!

00:06:40.363 --> 00:06:41.656
Reprehensible!

00:06:41.697 --> 00:06:44.158
It is not who we are
or what we stand for!

00:06:44.200 --> 00:06:46.536
- Here, here.
- What we stand for, Victor,

00:06:46.577 --> 00:06:48.162
is the well-being of the Moroi.

00:06:48.204 --> 00:06:49.580
- To what end?

00:06:49.622 --> 00:06:51.499
Destroying the relationship
between the Council

00:06:51.541 --> 00:06:53.626
and the Dhampir community?

00:06:53.668 --> 00:06:55.670
We have an obligation
to everyone,

00:06:55.711 --> 00:06:57.672
not just the Moroi.
- Yes.

00:06:57.713 --> 00:06:59.632
- We have never,
ever willingly put

00:06:59.674 --> 00:07:01.008
innocent lives in jeopardy.

00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:02.552
And with our numbers
so low already--

00:07:02.593 --> 00:07:04.554
- They are not innocent.
They are Dhampirs.

00:07:04.595 --> 00:07:06.806
Their mere existence puts
their life in jeopardy.

00:07:06.848 --> 00:07:10.017
And we must demand
both quality and quantity

00:07:10.059 --> 00:07:12.895
if we are to breed a more
capable line of Guardians.

00:07:12.937 --> 00:07:14.230
- Yes.

00:07:14.272 --> 00:07:15.731
- If your position is that

00:07:15.773 --> 00:07:17.692
our top Novices
are so ill-prepared

00:07:17.733 --> 00:07:21.696
they can't defend themselves
from a single Strigoi,

00:07:21.737 --> 00:07:24.907
then you are only further
making our case for us.

00:07:24.949 --> 00:07:28.035
- My God,
you're a * monster.

00:07:28.077 --> 00:07:31.747
Now, I understand your fears
after the losses at St. Jude's,

00:07:31.789 --> 00:07:33.749
but I promise you,
if this council is unwilling

00:07:33.791 --> 00:07:34.792
to see reason, I will--

00:07:34.834 --> 00:07:35.960
- I'd be extremely careful

00:07:36.002 --> 00:07:39.005
what you say or do next,
Victor.

00:07:39.046 --> 00:07:41.424
The Queen is aware
of the situation.

00:07:41.466 --> 00:07:43.176
To act against
the will of the Council

00:07:43.217 --> 00:07:44.969
is to act against her will

00:07:45.011 --> 00:07:47.972
and would thus
be considered treason.

00:07:50.266 --> 00:07:53.936
The Queen may be aware of this,
but she can't be for it.

00:07:53.978 --> 00:07:58.191
I propose an emergency motion
to rescind the vote.

00:07:58.232 --> 00:08:01.277
- Not without a 2/3 majority,
as I'm sure you are aware.

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.863
- Tatiana,
please don't speak to me

00:08:03.905 --> 00:08:07.074
as if I haven't been doing this
long before your fangs dropped.

00:08:07.116 --> 00:08:10.203
Now, if you don't mind,
the adults are talking.

00:08:10.244 --> 00:08:11.746
- Fine.

00:08:11.787 --> 00:08:13.664
All in favor
of Victor's motion?

00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:25.968
All opposed?

00:08:29.096 --> 00:08:30.890
The nays have it.

00:08:38.189 --> 00:08:40.107
- Rose.

00:08:40.149 --> 00:08:42.568
Rose.

00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:44.070
Rose, I'm tired.

00:08:44.111 --> 00:08:45.321
- We can't stop.

00:08:45.363 --> 00:08:47.615
- But I'm so hungry.

00:08:54.830 --> 00:08:59.377
I won't be caught dead
eating food so pedestrian.

00:08:59.418 --> 00:09:00.795
I demand my feeder.

00:09:00.836 --> 00:09:02.755
Do you know who my father is?

00:09:02.797 --> 00:09:04.131
Know your place, Guardian.

00:09:04.173 --> 00:09:05.800
- Eddie, I swear.

00:09:05.841 --> 00:09:08.636
Just eat it and shut up
before I kick your teeth in.

00:09:10.888 --> 00:09:13.766
- Still not quite sure
I get what Mason sees in you.

00:09:13.808 --> 00:09:15.977
- You really must not
want your teeth.

00:09:16.018 --> 00:09:19.188
- I'm just saying,
you're rough around the edges

00:09:19.230 --> 00:09:21.315
and a bit prickly.

00:09:21.357 --> 00:09:23.818
But Mason seems to worship you.

00:09:23.859 --> 00:09:26.946
- I never asked anyone
to worship me.

00:09:28.114 --> 00:09:30.575
You don't know how love works,
do you?

00:09:30.616 --> 00:09:33.286
- Mason's not in love with me.

00:09:33.327 --> 00:09:34.579
- The hell he's not.

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:36.455
- Mind your own.

00:09:37.206 --> 00:09:39.667
- He's just
a really good guy, Rose.

00:09:39.709 --> 00:09:42.253
So fly that kite straight
or cut him loose,

00:09:42.295 --> 00:09:43.879
'cause you've got him
twisted in knots.

00:09:43.921 --> 00:09:46.549
- Appreciate
the unsolicited advice,

00:09:46.591 --> 00:09:49.844
but that's
a really bad metaphor.

00:09:59.186 --> 00:10:01.522
Hey, Meredith?

00:10:01.564 --> 00:10:02.690
There are wards set up

00:10:02.732 --> 00:10:04.317
around the training areas,
right?

00:10:04.358 --> 00:10:06.652
- Yeah. Why?

00:10:08.988 --> 00:10:10.489
- Nothing.

00:10:10.531 --> 00:10:12.533
Let's keep going.

00:10:26.922 --> 00:10:29.675
- Sorry to hear about this.

00:10:29.717 --> 00:10:33.054
Your dad is one
of the good ones, you know.

00:10:33.095 --> 00:10:34.639
- Sorry.

00:10:35.848 --> 00:10:37.558
You have to work,
and I'm sitting here

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.685
talking your ear off.

00:10:41.729 --> 00:10:43.439
After last night,

00:10:43.481 --> 00:10:46.108
I wouldn't have blamed you
if you needed a minute.

00:10:48.861 --> 00:10:52.281
It was...kind of intense.

00:10:52.323 --> 00:10:53.616
No, no, no.

00:10:53.658 --> 00:10:55.951
It was good intense.

00:10:55.993 --> 00:10:57.912
Come on.

00:10:57.953 --> 00:11:00.373
I like dissecting cadavers

00:11:00.414 --> 00:11:02.500
and singing old Moroi opera
in the shower, okay?

00:11:02.541 --> 00:11:05.252
Normal is boring.

00:11:05.294 --> 00:11:08.839
Normal can kiss
my Strigoi-smelling,

00:11:08.881 --> 00:11:11.509
opera-singing arse.

00:11:12.593 --> 00:11:14.804
and then some.

00:11:14.845 --> 00:11:17.014
And I'm completely here for it.

00:11:19.058 --> 00:11:22.144
- Thank you.

00:11:22.186 --> 00:11:24.772
- I'll see you tonight, okay?

00:11:24.814 --> 00:11:26.774
I'll swing by when I'm done.

00:11:53.676 --> 00:11:55.219
- Captain.

00:11:57.263 --> 00:11:58.639
Status?

00:11:58.681 --> 00:12:00.015
- The trackers in the squibs

00:12:00.057 --> 00:12:02.059
have Alpha Team arriving
to their objective

00:12:02.101 --> 00:12:03.394
in less than an hour

00:12:03.436 --> 00:12:06.355
with about 45 minutes to spare
until sunset.

00:12:06.397 --> 00:12:09.066
Bravo Team arrived in the area
about 15 minutes ago

00:12:09.108 --> 00:12:10.860
and are setting up base camp.

00:12:12.528 --> 00:12:14.071
- Alberta.

00:12:14.113 --> 00:12:15.531
A word, please?

00:12:15.573 --> 00:12:17.950
Dimitri, you as well.

00:12:17.992 --> 00:12:19.618
- Give us the room.
- Yes, ma'am.

00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:21.078
Everyone clear out.

00:12:22.747 --> 00:12:25.583
- Very quietly, I need you
to call off the field test

00:12:25.624 --> 00:12:27.710
and bring everyone in.
- Impossible.

00:12:27.752 --> 00:12:29.837
They went radio silent
when they arrived on site.

00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.257
- Then send someone
to retrieve them.

00:12:34.884 --> 00:12:38.012
- What's going on?

00:12:38.053 --> 00:12:40.347
- The Royal Council
has approved live fire.

00:12:43.225 --> 00:12:46.020
- I'll gather a unit.

00:12:46.061 --> 00:12:47.480
- Stand down, Dimitri.

00:12:50.941 --> 00:12:53.778
That is an order, Guardian.

00:12:53.819 --> 00:12:56.030
May I remind you that the will
of the Royal Council

00:12:56.071 --> 00:12:57.573
is absolute?

00:12:57.615 --> 00:13:00.201
Our duty is to protect
the Moroi and the Academy,

00:13:00.242 --> 00:13:01.911
not to coddle our own.

00:13:01.952 --> 00:13:03.621
- You knew about this.

00:13:03.662 --> 00:13:05.206
- As of 15 minutes ago.

00:13:05.247 --> 00:13:08.125
But your fight, Lord Dashkov,
is with the Council.

00:13:08.167 --> 00:13:09.376
We follow their orders.

00:13:09.418 --> 00:13:10.628
If you're willing
to risk treason,

00:13:10.669 --> 00:13:14.006
you will face
the consequences alone.

00:13:14.048 --> 00:13:15.883
- Dimitri--
- Dimitri will do as he's told.

00:13:29.396 --> 00:13:33.234
- Do the Guardians
out there know?

00:13:33.275 --> 00:13:35.319
How could you?
- Don't * lecture me.

00:13:35.361 --> 00:13:38.572
I have no choice.
I do what I'm told.

00:13:38.614 --> 00:13:43.035
You should really have
more faith in Rose's abilities,

00:13:43.077 --> 00:13:46.205
especially considering
all the extra training

00:13:46.247 --> 00:13:47.665
you've been providing her.

00:13:53.796 --> 00:13:56.215
They can handle it.

00:13:56.257 --> 00:13:57.800
She can handle it.

00:13:57.842 --> 00:14:00.636
If she can't, Bravo Team will.

00:14:30.958 --> 00:14:32.626
- Take a quick breather.

00:14:34.336 --> 00:14:35.963
- Well, this certainly isn't
the accommodation

00:14:36.005 --> 00:14:37.756
I was expecting.

00:14:37.798 --> 00:14:41.093
- Never seen a human church
in person before.

00:14:41.135 --> 00:14:42.803
Do you think they know
anything about us

00:14:42.845 --> 00:14:44.972
or St. Vladimir?

00:14:45.014 --> 00:14:46.765
- I hope not.

00:14:46.807 --> 00:14:49.810
We don't need their shit
spilling over into our shit.

00:14:49.852 --> 00:14:51.186
- I don't know.

00:14:51.228 --> 00:14:53.772
Human shit's kind of my thing.

00:14:53.814 --> 00:14:56.525
- That doesn't sound
the way you think it does.

00:14:56.567 --> 00:14:58.986
- It does explain
her bad taste,

00:14:59.028 --> 00:15:01.196
if her crush on Mia
wasn't enough.

00:15:01.238 --> 00:15:05.367
- There's a heart in there,
if you dig around a bit.

00:15:07.202 --> 00:15:08.787
Well, what can I say?
I like what I like.

00:15:11.874 --> 00:15:13.792
I'm gonna walk the perimeter,

00:15:13.834 --> 00:15:15.002
try to strategize a defense.

00:15:15.044 --> 00:15:16.253
- Don't bother.

00:15:16.295 --> 00:15:17.630
By the time you see
Bravo Team coming,

00:15:17.671 --> 00:15:19.340
it'll be too late.
- You noticed that too.

00:15:19.381 --> 00:15:21.258
- It's hard not to
when you're standing

00:15:21.300 --> 00:15:23.177
at the bottom of a bowl.

00:15:23.218 --> 00:15:24.553
- Can I see that map
for a second?

00:15:31.226 --> 00:15:32.811
Maybe this is part of the test.

00:15:34.563 --> 00:15:36.023
To see if we're
dumb enough to stay

00:15:36.065 --> 00:15:38.400
in an indefensible location.

00:15:38.442 --> 00:15:40.277
There's another structure here.

00:15:40.319 --> 00:15:43.238
If we leave now,
we can make it by sunset.

00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:45.115
- It's doable,
and it's close enough

00:15:45.157 --> 00:15:48.661
to set up a communication relay
to keep an eye on this area.

00:15:48.702 --> 00:15:51.705
- One more thing.

00:15:51.747 --> 00:15:55.459
Alberta said to survive
by any means necessary.

00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.589
They can't fail us
if there's no patches to pop.

00:16:04.677 --> 00:16:06.220
- See?

00:16:06.261 --> 00:16:07.680
She gets it.

00:16:16.605 --> 00:16:18.732
- Overturning
the Council's decision

00:16:18.774 --> 00:16:22.361
would set a dangerous precedent
in the transition of power.

00:16:22.403 --> 00:16:24.279
- This is not
an ordinary circumstance

00:16:24.321 --> 00:16:26.699
nor an ordinary transition
of power, Your Majesty.

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:29.952
- I will not incite
political upheaval

00:16:29.994 --> 00:16:31.412
even for you.

00:16:31.453 --> 00:16:33.497
If you are so troubled by it,

00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:37.710
perhaps you should finally
consider running for the throne

00:16:37.751 --> 00:16:40.921
instead of clinging
to its coattails.

00:16:44.091 --> 00:16:45.467
Are we done?

00:16:49.304 --> 00:16:51.181
- Your Majesty.

00:17:11.869 --> 00:17:15.497
- Why the sudden interest
in the Moroi art of yore?

00:17:16.832 --> 00:17:20.711
- I--art's kind of always
been my happy place.

00:17:20.753 --> 00:17:22.212
Yeah.

00:17:22.254 --> 00:17:24.298
Rose and I had this plan,
after graduation,

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:27.301
we'd go on this crazy
worldwide art crawl.

00:17:27.342 --> 00:17:29.970
- I've met the collector
who donated this piece.

00:17:30.012 --> 00:17:33.599
It's a shame you won't be
joining us in the Royal Tour.

00:17:34.349 --> 00:17:38.645
He's a lot, but he knows
how to throw a party.

00:17:38.687 --> 00:17:40.814
- Tradition's tradition,
I guess.

00:17:40.856 --> 00:17:43.400
No quorum, no Royal Tour,

00:17:43.442 --> 00:17:44.902
although you must know that.

00:17:47.362 --> 00:17:50.491
Given your detailed awareness
of the law.

00:17:50.532 --> 00:17:53.494
- What I do know is that
you should have the right

00:17:53.535 --> 00:17:56.830
to choose a spouse
when you're ready,

00:17:56.872 --> 00:17:59.416
not because Victor Dashkov
is desperate for votes.

00:17:59.458 --> 00:18:00.667
- He just wants
what's best for me.

00:18:00.709 --> 00:18:03.420
- If that were true,
he would have found a way

00:18:03.462 --> 00:18:06.632
to prevent a Strigoi from being
released on your friends

00:18:06.673 --> 00:18:09.968
out playing
their little war games.

00:18:13.472 --> 00:18:15.057
- This location
will definitely work.

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:16.850
Bravo Team won't
suspect a thing.

00:18:16.892 --> 00:18:18.685
Dean, you'll be midpoint
of the relay.

00:18:18.727 --> 00:18:20.521
Herk, you keep watch
over the church.

00:18:20.562 --> 00:18:22.356
You see anything,
you signal Dean.

00:18:22.397 --> 00:18:24.191
I'll stand by first guard here.

00:18:24.233 --> 00:18:25.943
Two flashes,
and I come running.

00:18:25.984 --> 00:18:27.945
Stay low, stay quiet.

00:18:27.986 --> 00:18:29.404
- Got it.
- Got it.

00:18:29.446 --> 00:18:31.698
- We can do this.

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.741
I know we can.

00:18:36.161 --> 00:18:38.747
- Now that was leadery.

00:18:38.789 --> 00:18:40.374
Not bad, Hathaway.

00:18:40.415 --> 00:18:42.459
- Not bad yourself, Beckham.

00:19:21.999 --> 00:19:25.043
- Prayers won't help Rose,
but you can.

00:19:38.015 --> 00:19:39.433
- Look, I agree this is *d,

00:19:39.474 --> 00:19:41.226
but what you want to do
is insane.

00:19:41.268 --> 00:19:43.312
Running out into the field?
How would you defend yourself?

00:19:43.353 --> 00:19:44.771
Because I don't think
compelling a Strigoi to death

00:19:44.813 --> 00:19:46.148
is gonna work.

00:19:46.190 --> 00:19:47.941
- Well, it's better
than not trying at all.

00:19:47.983 --> 00:19:49.484
I need you.

00:19:49.526 --> 00:19:51.570
You have a handle on your magic
that's more than just

00:19:51.612 --> 00:19:52.946
some stupid party trick.

00:19:52.988 --> 00:19:54.406
I have to warn Rose.

00:19:54.448 --> 00:19:55.908
- You just told Dimitri.

00:19:55.949 --> 00:19:58.285
- Well, what if he doesn't
find them in time?

00:19:58.327 --> 00:20:00.996
Or what if the Strigoi
find them first?

00:20:01.038 --> 00:20:02.831
If the situation were reversed,

00:20:02.873 --> 00:20:04.249
Rose wouldn't hesitate
to come for me.

00:20:04.291 --> 00:20:07.252
- That's what she's been
trained to do,

00:20:09.338 --> 00:20:13.091
An argument I see now
holds no weight with you.

00:20:13.133 --> 00:20:14.968
Ugh,
Rose is gonna kick my *

00:20:15.010 --> 00:20:16.511
for letting you do this.

00:20:16.553 --> 00:20:18.472
- Let's get her
and everyone home safely

00:20:18.513 --> 00:20:20.557
so she can do just that.

00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.977
- But they're offsite.
How we gonna get there?

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:25.979
- Got it covered.

00:20:26.021 --> 00:20:28.732
You're not gonna like it,
but it's handled.

00:20:35.781 --> 00:20:40.577
- A wannabe royal, a Dhamp,
and a sad little outcast.

00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:43.330
That's as low as a peanut
gallery as there ever was.

00:20:43.372 --> 00:20:44.831
- And yet we still have
people we care about

00:20:44.873 --> 00:20:46.833
that are worth saving.

00:20:46.875 --> 00:20:49.878
- What's your excuse for being
such a lonely *?

00:20:51.213 --> 00:20:53.423
- Feel free to get out
and walk at any time,

00:20:53.465 --> 00:20:56.385
preferably while
the car is moving, then.

00:20:56.426 --> 00:20:58.637
And last I checked,
it was the responsibility

00:20:58.679 --> 00:21:01.265
of the Guardians
to protect the Moroi,

00:21:01.306 --> 00:21:04.893
not the other way around,
just in case you've forgotten.

00:21:04.935 --> 00:21:06.937
- You could have just said no,
okay?

00:21:06.979 --> 00:21:08.522
You didn't have
to come with us.

00:21:08.563 --> 00:21:11.024
- Well, when the last Dragomir
comes knocking,

00:21:11.066 --> 00:21:13.402
you answer, right?

00:21:13.443 --> 00:21:15.195
Who knows?

00:21:15.237 --> 00:21:17.406
You might find a way
to make it up to me.

00:21:22.244 --> 00:21:25.205
Ah, come on, Lissa.

00:21:25.247 --> 00:21:29.543
There are far worse Moroi
to * to erase a debt.

00:21:29.584 --> 00:21:30.502
- Such a perv.

00:21:30.544 --> 00:21:32.963
- Just shut up
and drive, Jesse.

00:21:33.005 --> 00:21:36.341
- Hey, hang the next right.
I think I know where they are.

00:21:36.383 --> 00:21:37.843
- Okay, big man.

00:22:07.372 --> 00:22:09.124
- You should watch your six.

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.762
Look what we caught.

00:22:21.803 --> 00:22:24.097
Should we throw it back?

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:26.141
- I'm just here to grade
your defense strategy

00:22:26.183 --> 00:22:27.684
for Bravo Team,

00:22:27.726 --> 00:22:30.604
but it looks like you guys
have it well in hand.

00:22:32.314 --> 00:22:35.609
I'm impressed, Rose,
though I should warn you

00:22:35.650 --> 00:22:37.569
some of the Guardians
are chomping at the bit

00:22:37.611 --> 00:22:40.113
to one-up
Janine Hathaway's daughter.

00:22:40.155 --> 00:22:41.448
- I'm ready.

00:22:41.490 --> 00:22:44.368
- Well, it's not good enough
to just be ready.

00:22:44.409 --> 00:22:48.038
Show them that you're not
Janine Hathaway's daughter.

00:22:48.080 --> 00:22:51.166
Show them that she's
Rose Hathaway's mum.

00:22:52.793 --> 00:22:54.628
'Cause I've got 1,000 mirs
riding on it.

00:22:55.962 --> 00:22:57.881
- Which I'd happily split
with you.

00:22:57.923 --> 00:22:59.216
- Deal.
- Mm.

00:23:04.638 --> 00:23:06.807
- And I won't give you shit
that you've taken

00:23:06.848 --> 00:23:08.892
the easy job in all of this.

00:23:08.934 --> 00:23:10.268
- You've got this, Rose.

00:23:10.310 --> 00:23:12.187
And don't worry,
your super-secret

00:23:12.229 --> 00:23:14.106
defense strategy
is safe with me.

00:23:14.147 --> 00:23:16.191
Now I have a date to get to.

00:23:22.614 --> 00:23:24.074
- That's a pretty melody.

00:23:24.116 --> 00:23:26.243
- It's from an Old Moroi opera.

00:23:26.284 --> 00:23:29.579
- Since when do you like opera?

00:23:32.958 --> 00:23:34.376
- Alpha Team is in position.

00:23:34.418 --> 00:23:36.128
Bravo Team, do you copy?

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.800
What the *?

00:25:06.760 --> 00:25:08.261
- Your Majesty.

00:25:08.303 --> 00:25:11.223
- These interruptions
are getting tiresome, Victor.

00:25:11.264 --> 00:25:12.557
- Vasilissa Dragomir
was seen leaving

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.976
the palace grounds along
with a few other students.

00:25:15.018 --> 00:25:16.478
Care to guess
where they were headed?

00:25:16.520 --> 00:25:19.064
- On whose authority?
- My guess is their own.

00:25:19.105 --> 00:25:22.859
Please, I implore you.
Stop the test.

00:25:22.901 --> 00:25:24.069
You are the only one
with the power

00:25:24.110 --> 00:25:25.403
to take emergency measures

00:25:25.445 --> 00:25:27.864
and overturn
the Council's decision.

00:25:27.906 --> 00:25:29.241
- Who else was with her?

00:25:29.282 --> 00:25:32.536
- Jesse Zeklos,
Christian Ozera,

00:25:32.577 --> 00:25:34.996
Mason Ashford,

00:25:35.038 --> 00:25:36.790
and my daughter.

00:25:44.005 --> 00:25:46.508
- Hey, stop!

00:25:46.550 --> 00:25:48.218
What are you doing?

00:25:48.260 --> 00:25:49.427
- Where's Rose?

00:25:49.469 --> 00:25:53.265
- Lissa,
what are you doing here?

00:25:53.306 --> 00:25:54.599
- There's a Strigoi
loose in the area.

00:25:54.641 --> 00:25:55.767
They set it free.
- Whoa, whoa, slow down.

00:25:55.809 --> 00:25:57.102
You're not making any sense.

00:25:57.143 --> 00:25:59.020
- They put a Strigoi
out here with you guys.

00:25:59.062 --> 00:26:00.814
- What? Bullshit.

00:26:00.855 --> 00:26:02.482
- No, it's true.
- Shit.

00:26:02.524 --> 00:26:04.359
- That doesn't make any sense.
Why would they do that?

00:26:04.401 --> 00:26:05.944
- I don't know, but it's true.
- Whoa, whoa.

00:26:05.986 --> 00:26:07.279
How do you know that?
- I just do.

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:09.197
- Look, Mia and Jesse are
waiting in the car,

00:26:09.239 --> 00:26:10.782
but we have to warn
the instructors.

00:26:10.824 --> 00:26:12.117
- Mia's here.

00:26:12.158 --> 00:26:13.326
- Meredith!
- Wait, Rose!

00:26:13.368 --> 00:26:14.703
We have to warn the others.

00:26:14.744 --> 00:26:16.454
- But we don't know
where the instructors are.

00:26:16.496 --> 00:26:18.123
How the hell
did you even find us?

00:26:18.164 --> 00:26:20.125
- I know how you think, Rose.
- Good.

00:26:20.166 --> 00:26:21.876
Then help me figure out
what I would do next.

00:26:21.918 --> 00:26:24.421
- You'd have Dean go get Herk,
but we already did that.

00:26:24.462 --> 00:26:25.964
- He said to wait in there.

00:26:26.006 --> 00:26:28.091
- Okay, let's go.

00:26:28.133 --> 00:26:30.093
Come, come, come.

00:26:30.135 --> 00:26:31.845
- Herk! Herk!

00:26:31.886 --> 00:26:34.931
We gotta go.

00:26:36.975 --> 00:26:38.643
Herk?

00:26:50.113 --> 00:26:51.448
- What's taking them so long?

00:26:51.489 --> 00:26:52.574
- Mia.

00:26:52.616 --> 00:26:54.826
Mia, what the hell
are you doing here?

00:26:54.868 --> 00:26:56.953
You shouldn't have come.

00:26:56.995 --> 00:26:58.955
- I was worried.

00:26:58.997 --> 00:27:02.792
- Aww, I hate to break up
this love fest or whatever,

00:27:02.834 --> 00:27:05.170
but where's the rest
of your merry band?

00:27:05.211 --> 00:27:07.130
I skipped breakfast
coming out here,

00:27:07.172 --> 00:27:08.256
and I'm starving.

00:27:08.298 --> 00:27:09.674
I need to feed.

00:27:09.716 --> 00:27:13.136
- Did you miss
your nap today, Zeklos?

00:27:13.178 --> 00:27:15.263
Okay.

00:27:15.305 --> 00:27:17.223
Well, this was fun.

00:27:17.265 --> 00:27:20.185
Um, I think I'm gonna go now.

00:27:20.226 --> 00:27:23.688
Feel free to enjoy
the rest of this shit show

00:27:23.730 --> 00:27:25.899
or, I don't know, get in.

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:27.692
I'm only offering once.

00:27:32.238 --> 00:27:35.158
You know, you always were
one of the smart ones.

00:27:36.493 --> 00:27:39.204
Okay,
what the * are you doing?

00:27:41.414 --> 00:27:42.999
Give me the keys, Meredith.

00:27:43.041 --> 00:27:45.543
- We're not leaving without--
- Give me the * keys now!

00:27:50.715 --> 00:27:53.134
You know what?

00:27:53.176 --> 00:27:55.220
It won't take much
to hold me over.

00:27:55.261 --> 00:27:56.513
Just a sip or two.

00:27:56.554 --> 00:27:58.056
- Try it.

00:27:58.098 --> 00:28:00.725
Go on, I'm begging you.

00:28:00.767 --> 00:28:02.060
- Oh, come on.

00:28:02.102 --> 00:28:03.728
It's a win-win, right?

00:28:03.770 --> 00:28:06.773
I feed, you get high.

00:28:06.815 --> 00:28:07.899
Who knows?

00:28:07.941 --> 00:28:10.944
You might even enjoy
being my little...

00:28:10.985 --> 00:28:14.364
blood *...

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.753
- Mia, what the *?

00:28:34.801 --> 00:28:36.970
- Mia.

00:28:37.011 --> 00:28:39.097
Mia, look at me.

00:28:39.139 --> 00:28:40.515
It's okay.

00:28:52.318 --> 00:28:54.195
You just attacked a Royal.

00:28:57.907 --> 00:29:01.870
You won't get away with this,
either of you.

00:29:14.466 --> 00:29:15.759
- You're okay.
You're okay.

00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:17.969
All right?
You're gonna be okay.

00:29:18.011 --> 00:29:19.137
What happened?

00:29:19.179 --> 00:29:20.263
Hey, where's Herk?

00:29:20.305 --> 00:29:21.973
- Mikhail caught him.

00:29:22.015 --> 00:29:23.558
Mikhail's a Strigoi.

00:29:23.600 --> 00:29:26.936
He's--he's--

00:29:26.978 --> 00:29:28.229
- Oh, *.

00:29:28.271 --> 00:29:31.065
We need to go now.

00:29:31.107 --> 00:29:32.650
Come on.

00:29:43.286 --> 00:29:45.497
- Shit. Stop.

00:29:49.167 --> 00:29:51.127
- Stop.

00:30:03.890 --> 00:30:05.850
- Mikhail?

00:30:08.228 --> 00:30:10.146
- Wait, Christian!

00:30:15.401 --> 00:30:17.362
- I don't know
how to control this!

00:30:28.873 --> 00:30:31.417
Figure something out,
or we're all *!

00:30:32.669 --> 00:30:34.003
- Okay.
- Rose.

00:30:34.045 --> 00:30:35.880
- I'll distract him.
You get everyone to the car.

00:30:35.922 --> 00:30:37.048
- No, Rose, you can't!

00:30:37.090 --> 00:30:38.842
- What? I can help.

00:30:38.883 --> 00:30:40.218
- It's my team, my rules.

00:30:40.260 --> 00:30:41.511
- Please don't do this, Rose.

00:30:41.553 --> 00:30:42.762
- I'm trusting you, all of you.

00:30:42.804 --> 00:30:44.055
Get to the car.

00:30:44.097 --> 00:30:45.765
They come first.

00:30:45.807 --> 00:30:47.392
* go!

00:30:47.433 --> 00:30:48.768
Go, let's go, let's go.

00:30:48.810 --> 00:30:49.978
Go, go, go.

00:30:52.605 --> 00:30:54.774
I can't hold this much longer!

00:30:57.694 --> 00:31:00.405
- Christian!
- Go!

00:31:14.794 --> 00:31:17.213
- Stop the bleeding,
then get him in the car.

00:31:17.255 --> 00:31:19.299
Eddie, Meredith, come help me
set up the perimeter

00:31:19.340 --> 00:31:20.758
until Rose catches up.

00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:22.552
Christian!

00:31:22.594 --> 00:31:25.054
If you see something, torch it.

00:32:25.990 --> 00:32:27.075
- Hey, hey, hey. Dean.

00:32:27.116 --> 00:32:28.326
Dean, look at me.

00:32:28.368 --> 00:32:29.619
Dean. *.

00:33:10.284 --> 00:33:12.870
- Mikhail?

00:33:12.912 --> 00:33:13.997
- He's gone.

00:33:14.038 --> 00:33:15.748
No.

00:33:15.790 --> 00:33:16.916
No.

00:33:16.958 --> 00:33:18.960
Mikhail.

00:33:19.002 --> 00:33:20.169
- He's gone.

00:33:20.211 --> 00:33:21.295
- Mikhail.

00:33:21.337 --> 00:33:22.380
- He's gone.

00:33:22.422 --> 00:33:24.132
No!

00:33:24.173 --> 00:33:25.591
- Rose. Roza.

00:33:31.931 --> 00:33:33.224
- Down this way.

00:33:41.107 --> 00:33:43.276
- Status?

00:33:54.203 --> 00:33:56.247
- All Moroi accounted for.

00:33:56.289 --> 00:33:59.250
Two down--one Novice, Herk,

00:33:59.292 --> 00:34:00.918
and Mikhail.

00:34:05.673 --> 00:34:07.759
- Whoever turned them
is still out there.

00:34:10.636 --> 00:34:12.388
- We'll fan out and find them.

00:34:12.430 --> 00:34:14.223
- Let's move out.
- Get her home.

00:34:33.034 --> 00:34:34.327
I was so worried.

00:34:34.368 --> 00:34:36.704
- Oh, sore.
- Oh, sorry.

00:34:42.210 --> 00:34:45.379
How are you feeling?

00:34:45.421 --> 00:34:47.340
- Like I've just had
1,000 people

00:34:47.381 --> 00:34:50.551
trample over my corpse.

00:34:50.593 --> 00:34:52.095
I'm fine.

00:34:54.138 --> 00:34:56.265
Promise.

00:34:58.101 --> 00:35:00.061
- Okay.

00:35:00.103 --> 00:35:02.063
So don't freak out.

00:35:29.132 --> 00:35:31.884
That's, um...new.

00:35:33.427 --> 00:35:35.513
- I healed Dean, Rose.

00:35:37.640 --> 00:35:41.060
There was so much blood,
and then...

00:35:41.102 --> 00:35:44.313
and then
I just * healed him.

00:35:44.355 --> 00:35:46.399
This is crazy.

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:50.778
I'm actually a Spirit User,
just like St. Vladimir.

00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:53.030
And look.

00:35:53.072 --> 00:35:54.657
You know
those traveling exhibits

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:58.035
from the museum
that only I go to?

00:35:58.077 --> 00:35:59.912
There's this painting.

00:35:59.954 --> 00:36:02.290
That's St. Vladimir
Compelling someone.

00:36:02.331 --> 00:36:03.791
Think about what this means.

00:36:03.833 --> 00:36:08.254
- It means that you should
probably just take it easy.

00:36:08.296 --> 00:36:10.590
Are you sure
this is a good thing?

00:36:10.631 --> 00:36:12.967
Because I've been picking up
on some crazy emo vibes

00:36:13.009 --> 00:36:16.262
from you lately.

00:36:16.304 --> 00:36:20.016
- Well, how could it not be?

00:36:20.057 --> 00:36:22.643
Didn't St. Vladimir
live out his life in peace,

00:36:22.685 --> 00:36:25.646
like, herding, like, sheep
or something?

00:36:25.688 --> 00:36:27.648
There was that nursery rhyme.
Right?

00:36:27.690 --> 00:36:32.528
It was like, "St. Vladimir"
something, something...

00:36:34.071 --> 00:36:36.741
"To guide him in joy on a"...

00:36:36.782 --> 00:36:38.701
both:
"Farm, with Anna beside him."

00:36:38.743 --> 00:36:40.328
- Yeah.

00:36:40.369 --> 00:36:43.456
Vladimir was the founder
of our religion.

00:36:43.497 --> 00:36:46.334
Some crazed emo guy
wouldn't be in marble

00:36:46.375 --> 00:36:47.835
on every other pedestal.

00:36:54.050 --> 00:36:58.554
If I can just talk to the guy
who owns the collection

00:36:58.596 --> 00:37:00.932
from the museum,
maybe he could help me

00:37:00.973 --> 00:37:02.850
fill in some of the blanks
about Spirit

00:37:02.892 --> 00:37:06.520
and how St. Vladimir handled it
without losing his mind.

00:37:08.356 --> 00:37:11.525
But I have to know.

00:37:11.567 --> 00:37:13.194
- Great.

00:37:13.236 --> 00:37:15.029
So where is this mystery man?

00:37:15.071 --> 00:37:17.949
- In Lisbon,

00:37:17.990 --> 00:37:20.534
on the Royal Tour.

00:37:20.576 --> 00:37:23.704
- It's voting families only.

00:37:23.746 --> 00:37:25.623
How are you gonna
score an invite?

00:37:29.919 --> 00:37:33.214
- I don't like you
and you don't like me.

00:37:33.256 --> 00:37:36.050
But I have to marry someone
with enough Dragomir blood

00:37:36.092 --> 00:37:37.885
to get my quorum back.

00:37:37.927 --> 00:37:41.639
And although this would
not be a real marriage,

00:37:41.681 --> 00:37:43.516
I should be spending
some time with your parents

00:37:43.557 --> 00:37:46.686
before we're
officially engaged.

00:37:46.727 --> 00:37:48.771
They are going
on the Royal Tour, right?

00:37:51.274 --> 00:37:54.068
- Why would you say
such a thing?

00:37:54.110 --> 00:37:55.361
- I'm so sorry, Sonya.

00:37:55.403 --> 00:37:57.738
- No.

00:37:57.780 --> 00:37:59.699
That's a lie.

00:38:01.784 --> 00:38:03.327
She's lying.

00:38:04.453 --> 00:38:06.122
- Sonya...

00:38:06.163 --> 00:38:08.249
- It kills you to see me happy.

00:38:14.422 --> 00:38:15.798
- I'll go.

00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:17.174
Sonya.

00:38:17.216 --> 00:38:18.801
Sonya.

00:38:18.843 --> 00:38:20.177
Sonya, wait.

00:38:20.219 --> 00:38:21.762
Sonya. Sonya, please.

00:38:21.804 --> 00:38:25.433
No, he can't be dead.

00:38:25.474 --> 00:38:27.101
He can't.
- It'll be okay.

00:38:27.143 --> 00:38:28.644
I promise.

00:38:31.272 --> 00:38:32.940
- No.

00:38:32.982 --> 00:38:34.525
It won't be.

00:38:36.944 --> 00:38:38.446
- What are you doing?

00:38:38.487 --> 00:38:40.448
- I won't lose you, too.
- Sonya, no.

00:38:40.489 --> 00:38:42.950
- I need to heal you, Daddy.

00:39:06.766 --> 00:39:08.142
*.

00:39:08.184 --> 00:39:09.894
- Rose.

00:39:11.354 --> 00:39:12.938
How do you feel?

00:39:12.980 --> 00:39:16.901
- Like I killed
a piece of myself.

00:39:16.942 --> 00:39:21.238
Like suddenly,
I'm beginning to wonder

00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.991
if I even want to do this
anymore.

00:39:24.033 --> 00:39:28.704
- I wish I could say
it gets easier, but--

00:39:28.746 --> 00:39:30.748
- But it * *s?

00:39:30.790 --> 00:39:33.167
- But it * *s.

00:39:40.466 --> 00:39:44.762
I'm sorry
that Lissa got involved.

00:39:44.804 --> 00:39:47.848
I'm supposed to prevent her
from getting into danger,

00:39:47.890 --> 00:39:49.350
on shift or not.

00:39:49.392 --> 00:39:52.353
My mind should have been on her

00:39:52.395 --> 00:39:55.106
instead of...

00:39:55.147 --> 00:39:57.066
- Instead of what?

00:39:59.235 --> 00:40:02.446
- You,

00:40:02.488 --> 00:40:05.366
and whether or not
you were safe.

00:40:11.205 --> 00:40:14.417
- Hey, Hathaway,
are you in here?

00:40:25.678 --> 00:40:28.806
How are you holding up?

00:40:28.848 --> 00:40:32.143
- I'd be a lot better if people
would stop asking me that.

00:40:35.396 --> 00:40:37.648
- Listen.

00:40:37.690 --> 00:40:41.235
We lost one of our own.

00:40:41.277 --> 00:40:45.114
I can't * begin to know
how to process that.

00:40:45.156 --> 00:40:46.907
The thing I do know...

00:40:49.285 --> 00:40:53.122
I don't want to be mad at you,

00:40:53.164 --> 00:40:54.999
ever.

00:40:58.461 --> 00:41:01.922
You're one of the only things

00:41:01.964 --> 00:41:04.592
that makes this life
* bearable.

00:41:07.845 --> 00:41:10.681
I know you're heading out
on the Royal Tour.

00:41:10.723 --> 00:41:14.643
But when you get back...

00:41:17.062 --> 00:41:19.565
I'll be here waiting

00:41:19.607 --> 00:41:22.318
like I've always been.

00:41:40.711 --> 00:41:42.296
- A success?

00:41:42.338 --> 00:41:45.382
You have the audacity
to call four wounded

00:41:45.424 --> 00:41:48.093
and seven dead a success?

00:41:48.135 --> 00:41:52.556
Seven dead,

00:41:52.598 --> 00:41:55.309
including a Moroi guard
and a Dhampir Novice.

00:41:55.351 --> 00:41:58.395
- It may not be the result
we hoped for,

00:41:58.437 --> 00:42:01.190
but it's certainly
the revelation we needed.

00:42:01.232 --> 00:42:05.569
We are being hunted
by beings who wish nothing more

00:42:05.611 --> 00:42:08.113
than to eradicate our kind.

00:42:08.155 --> 00:42:12.535
Yes, seven lives
were sacrificed,

00:42:12.576 --> 00:42:16.038
but that was the result
of one Strigoi, only one.

00:42:16.080 --> 00:42:17.706
Now imagine a horde--

00:42:17.748 --> 00:42:20.543
dozens coming after your wives

00:42:20.584 --> 00:42:23.128
and your husbands
and your children.

00:42:23.170 --> 00:42:24.964
We need
better-equipped guardians

00:42:25.005 --> 00:42:27.424
if we are to survive
with the recent influx

00:42:27.466 --> 00:42:29.218
of Strigoi attacks.

00:42:29.260 --> 00:42:31.303
We are one
coordinated attack away

00:42:31.345 --> 00:42:32.763
from being completely and utt--

00:42:34.306 --> 00:42:36.183
- Victor.

00:42:41.438 --> 00:42:43.065
- Over the past 24 hours,
I've done

00:42:43.107 --> 00:42:46.318
a great deal of contemplation
regarding our future,

00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:50.573
that of our children, and that
of our children's children.

00:42:50.614 --> 00:42:52.241
The one thing
I keep coming back to

00:42:52.283 --> 00:42:54.910
is that we deserve better.

00:42:54.952 --> 00:43:00.082
Moroi and Dhampir alike,
we deserve a better future.

00:43:00.124 --> 00:43:03.294
With no other candidate
capable of leading us there,

00:43:03.335 --> 00:43:05.713
and after discussing it
with my family,

00:43:05.754 --> 00:43:08.048
I've decided to fight for it.

00:43:08.090 --> 00:43:10.634
I stand before you
to officially announce

00:43:10.676 --> 00:43:14.096
my candidacy for Monarch.

00:43:21.812 --> 00:43:25.274
- There are things
I have to do for my family,

00:43:25.316 --> 00:43:27.568
decisions I have to make.

00:43:27.610 --> 00:43:29.945
But I just want you to know

00:43:29.987 --> 00:43:34.158
it doesn't change how I feel
about you.

00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.160
And it doesn't change
how much it meant to me

00:43:36.201 --> 00:43:39.246
that you helped save Rose.

00:43:39.288 --> 00:43:41.373
- Why does it feel like
you're breaking up with me,

00:43:41.415 --> 00:43:43.292
even though we're not together?

00:43:43.334 --> 00:43:47.129
- 'Cause I want to be,
Christian.

00:43:47.171 --> 00:43:49.131
I want to be together.

00:43:49.173 --> 00:43:50.883
And I'm so sorry.

00:43:50.924 --> 00:43:52.384
I mean, I don't even know
how to tell you this.

00:43:57.931 --> 00:44:00.351
It's okay.

00:44:04.146 --> 00:44:07.900
Whatever you have to do,

00:44:07.941 --> 00:44:09.985
you do.

00:44:10.027 --> 00:44:12.029
Okay?
