00:00We are interested in a book in the possession of Edward Kelly.
00:05I've sent ambassadors to Bohemia to retrieve Kelly.
00:08The Emperor rebuffed them.
00:09Perhaps he will be more receptive to me.
00:11You can be very persuasive.
00:13My father has commanded me to return to Seto.
00:16No!
00:19Matthew!
00:20Say that!
00:21This is what we call blood rage.
00:23It is an affliction of sickness of the vampire blood.
00:27The body was torn apart and hadn't seen anything like that in centuries.
00:31And we do all know the rumors about the declared once infected bloodline.
00:36You are reborn and forever a member of our family.
00:39I, Matthew, give my body to you, Diana, in faithful matrimony.
00:43And I receive it.
00:45My dearest Isabel, I am able to find words to straddle the centuries that separate us.
00:51Our son, mated to a woman who walks in the footsteps of the goddess.
00:56They journey now to Bohemia in search of the Book of Life.
01:26My dearest standard, I did not have an eye yesterday that they can take off the الس dannes of Greek.
01:36I'm here on business for Queen Elizabeth the Bingo.
02:02His Imperial Majesty Rudolph the Second tires of Elizabeth's ambassadors.
02:07I am no mere ambassador.
02:10And I will have the Emperor's answer from his own lips, not yours.
02:32Find Gallagloss and my man P.I., would you?
02:51Wait here.
03:04This is just the Emperor's hunting lodge.
03:09Yes, Colonel chose his benefactor very well.
03:13The might of the Holy Roman Empire dwarfs out of England in every respect.
03:19Certainly has an eye for beauty.
03:23His Imperial Majesty grants you a brief audience.
03:39Even when I retreat into the mountains, I cannot escape a pestering by England's diplomatic hordes.
03:57Matthew Royden, Your Majesty.
03:59I know exactly who you are, Matthias de Clermont.
04:02Since you introduced yourself as Royden, I then assume you are here in your capacity as Elizabeth's spy.
04:08I come representing my queen, but not as a spy.
04:11I would speak with her subject, Edward Kelly.
04:14Then you are in the wrong place. Herr Kelly resides in Prague.
04:19I have heard that he travels with your court.
04:23Do you question me? I know what you are. Vampire.
04:32Remember, you were only permitted on Bohemian soil by my grace.
04:37I apologize, Your Majesty. Matthew was only pressing my case.
04:42I'd hoped I'd be given an opportunity for discourse with one of England's most esteemed alchemists.
04:48You have an interest in alchemy?
04:50It has been my life's work.
04:53Might an emperor ask your name?
04:57Diana, Your Majesty.
05:00La Diosa de la Casa.
05:04The Goddess of the Hunt.
05:07May I introduce my wife, Your Majesty?
05:11My spies would have informed me had Elizabeth's shadow taken a wife.
05:15Particularly one so... intriguing.
05:19Perhaps you should consider hiring more thorough spies.
05:24Your Majesty.
05:25Enjoy your time in Bohemia, Mistress Royden.
05:28Use it to teach your husband manners befitting my court.
05:45Thank you, Thomas.
05:46Welcome,
06:08my friend.
06:39I don't like the way he looked at you.
06:46Like a jewel he wanted to add to his collection.
06:49Oh, I can handle a little clumsy flirting if it gets us closer to the book.
06:55Callow glass.
07:09You've mated?
07:12Well, I should call you auntie now.
07:15Where's Pierre?
07:16At the lodgings.
07:18We have an unexpected guest.
07:20This way.
07:21Mr. Snowyden!
07:31Jack!
07:32We was on an enormous ship and there was a storm and lots of people were sick, but I'll see that.
07:38I'm not Jack.
07:40Bedtime.
07:40I know.
07:47But once you left, nightmares every time he slept, weeping through the day.
07:53And you brought him to Bohemia.
07:55He tried to come on his own.
07:57I couldn't take my eyes off him.
07:59It wasn't safe.
08:00It's not safe here!
08:03I'm sorry.
08:03But what would you have me do?
08:07Keep him prisoner?
08:15Rudolf may be telling the truth.
08:17No one I've spoken to has seen Kelly.
08:20I doubt that the Emperor would leave behind the man who's offered him eternal life.
08:24He'll be here somewhere.
08:26What about the book?
08:27As long as we can reach Kelly.
08:29He'll lead us to it.
08:31Or he'll bring it to us.
08:32If Rudolf thinks the book is key to creating the Philosopher's Stone, he won't let Kelly take it.
08:37Ah, you're right there.
08:39They say once the Emperor sets his heart on something, he'll stop at nothing to get it.
08:43And once he has it...
08:44For the Goddess.
09:02The Goddess.
09:03Right, I assume that's not you, Matthew.
09:22It's an automaton.
09:23The Goddess of the Hunts.
09:28What is the matter?
09:33What's the matter?
09:34I take it you saw how hostile the Emperor was.
09:37I saw how hostile he was towards you.
09:40He lit up when I mentioned Alcumé.
09:41You saw the gift he sent me.
09:46He's practically inviting me back to the castle.
09:49I could bring him Dee's book, convince him it's something that he wants.
09:54No.
09:56Kelly is the key.
09:59And the less we arouse the attention of the Emperor, the more likely we'll be able to get Kelly back to England safely.
10:03We don't even know if he's here.
10:05At least let me try, while you look for him.
10:14Take Gallop Glass with me.
10:29Diana Royden, I have a gift for His Imperial Majesty.
10:33So does everyone, Frau Royden.
10:35So does everyone.
10:58Madame, we'll be all right.
11:05Kelly must have a laboratory here, somewhere he can continue his work undisturbed.
11:14Let's take a look at the apothecary, Pierre.
11:16I'm surprised, Matthew, let you approach the Emperor alone.
11:24Well, my husband's changed a lot in the 400 years since you knew him.
11:28But now you're mated.
11:32It's different.
11:34Blood rage is harder to control.
11:36It's primal.
11:37Physical.
11:38If provoked, he will struggle to contain himself.
11:51Oh.
11:53You know, we're going to be here till midnight at this rate.
11:55Right here.
11:56What are you doing?
12:00Accelerating proceedings.
12:00Adam de Claremont.
12:13Apologies.
12:17Such a recent blood vow is positively deafening.
12:21I'm Benjamin Fuchs.
12:23I work as a collector for the Emperor.
12:26Are you a friend of the De Claremonts?
12:28I fear I am beneath their interests.
12:32I was cast out of my own clan.
12:35I've always found myself more comfortable around other kinds of creature.
12:52You haven't geschlossen, even for the Emperor's alchemist.
12:55You are not the Imperial alchemist.
13:00Ah, so you have met him, then.
13:02It seems strange to be closing during the middle of the day, Airstein.
13:06But then perhaps you are expecting more customers after the sun has fallen.
13:10I open only by appointment, sir.
13:12My exclusive list of clients commands the utmost discretion.
13:17If you wish to browse, might I suggest you visit the market?
13:25The audience with his Imperial Majesty is over for today.
13:48Come now.
13:49Keep moving.
13:51Keep moving.
13:55Auntie.
13:56Auntie.
14:01What did you do?
14:03I may have intimated to the Chamberlain
14:05that we have a very desirable painting for sale.
14:08La Dioza.
14:20You are a woman of many surprises.
14:23I hear that you are the owner of a curious work by Hieronymus Bosch.
14:26Your Majesty, I, in my haste to be admitted to your presence, I, I fear there has been some miscommunication.
14:42A miscommunication?
14:43Yes.
14:44I so desperately wanted to thank you for the wonderful gift you sent me.
14:50The work of you, I can freeze, if I'm not mistaken.
14:53It is indeed.
14:53You have quite an eye, mistress.
14:55I do not have the painting that you wanted.
15:00However, I do have another gift.
15:02Yes.
15:02I've seen this before.
15:16It offers no answers, no meaning.
15:22Sir, you lie about something I want in order to present me with something I do not.
15:26Even books that do not provide the answers we seek can still help us to ask better questions.
15:32Nothing is worthless to an inquiring mind.
15:38The deepest truths always come from the most unexpected sources.
15:47Send for the rabbi.
15:50Tell me, La Dioza, are you interested in the rare and uncanny arts?
16:00Steiner was rattled.
16:02He's hiding something.
16:04He clearly had met Kelly.
16:06He recognized that, wasn't he?
16:07But there's no appointments for Kelly in his ledger.
16:09No, but there's a Talbot.
16:10You know, it's an English name.
16:12It's tenuous, I know, but there are no other appointments listed with him until a week ago.
16:16Shortly after Rudolph arrived here.
16:18Mm-hmm.
16:18And every appointment with Talbot is at an odd hour.
16:23It's always after dark.
16:24Someone keen to avoid being seen.
16:26But how can we be sure Talbot is Kelly?
16:31I suppose we'll see for ourselves.
16:34Talbot has an appointment book for tonight.
16:36Thank you, Piat.
16:45Allow me to introduce the rabbi Lowe, known as the Maharal.
16:49A learned scholar and my honored guest.
16:51The honor is mine, Your Majesty.
16:55Another tome for you to decipher.
16:58Come.
16:58The rabbi has a gift for ancient languages.
17:06The Hebrew of his people's book is perhaps closer to the primitive tongues long lost to Christian ears.
17:12I have no knowledge that cannot be learned by anyone with sufficient reading Jew or Gentile.
17:20I cannot believe that.
17:25Please.
17:25Please.
17:25Please.
17:28Of course, the bulk of my cook scammer I had to leave behind in Prague.
17:32But the quest for knowledge must not be abandoned.
17:38I hope the goddess of the hunt is not disappointed with my traveling collection.
17:46This drinking vessel is fashioned from the horn of a unicorn.
17:56Incredible.
17:56In Prague, men speak of a man of clay, animated by Jewish magics.
18:08The name of God written inside its skull.
18:11Rumors, Your Highness, designed to inspire fear of our people, who are nothing but royal subjects.
18:18But words have power, do they not?
18:19Well, I've heard Jews know the secret names of angels.
18:22Is that so, Your Highness?
18:25As the true meaning of an artwork is disguised by symbols,
18:30so might the hidden meaning of words be revealed through the mathematics of their letters.
18:36You have so many miraculous items, things I would hardly have believed existed.
18:43I half expect to find that you've acquired the Philosopher's Stone.
18:48Alas, the means to create the Philosopher's Stone is yet to be discovered.
18:53Latiosa.
18:54Ah, the root of Eppendorf.
18:56It has the miraculous form of Jesus Christ.
19:00A trifle late to be shopping, isn't it, Edward?
19:16Oh, and Queen Elizabeth sends her regards.
19:18What do you want from me?
19:20We are.
19:21To talk.
19:22Just to talk.
19:24You can stand your men down.
19:26They don't answer to me.
19:28So you are a prisoner.
19:31Has the Emperor lost patience with your empty promises?
19:37You know nothing of my work.
19:41I know you stole the book from Dee.
19:44No, no, no.
19:45The book is mine.
19:47It speaks to me.
19:49It screams.
19:52You have no claim.
19:56It begins with absence and desire, blood and fear.
20:04It begins with a discovery of which I must work in my work!
20:13No!
20:13It's very gallant of you to escort me all the way from our lodgings.
20:29I wanted to speak to the Maharal myself.
20:32Rabbi Lowe is one of history's most esteemed scholars.
20:34Rudolf brought a mirror specifically to decipher books.
20:38Diana.
20:39Kelly was raving.
20:41Rudolf has him as his prison.
20:42Just be careful what you say.
20:45Whatever rumors kind of last heard,
20:47Rudolf has been nothing but kind to me.
20:52We can trust Lowe.
20:53I'm sure of it.
20:54Matthew, son of Philippe.
21:04Please.
21:10A witch, a vampire, and a Jew meeting in secret.
21:22It was said, Christian tongues wagging for miles to run.
21:33Oh.
21:36I noticed the yellow circle.
21:37Men fear what they do not see more than what they do.
21:44The emperor is convinced by peoplehood's secret magics.
21:48Rudolf brought you here to study a book.
21:50Didn't he?
21:52Your husband believes that is a dangerous question to ask.
21:56One should find wholeness in a marriage, Matthew,
21:59but he should never become a prison.
22:02Let us be honest with each other, Mauro.
22:04We are looking for a very particular alchemical book.
22:09I knew as soon as I saw it,
22:11I was not the one.
22:13God has chosen to read it.
22:15Perhaps you are, Praroyd.
22:19Rabbi,
22:20how did you convince Rudolf to let you see it?
22:24He convinced himself,
22:25imagining I would succeed where others had failed.
22:28He will be furious when I cannot.
22:30Why not just tell him?
22:31To disappoint the emperor is dangerous,
22:37but to refuse him could be deadly.
22:46Now, I'm done.
22:48Jack, are you cheated?
22:49It's one again.
22:54A letter came.
22:55Oh, yes.
22:57Through Mistress Rudin.
22:59Oh.
22:59It's a summons
23:03to a pheasant hunt
23:04with the emperor.
23:07Can I come?
23:08Give them a moment to talk, Jack.
23:11Come on.
23:14This has gone too far.
23:18Kelly won't bring us the book.
23:19We need to go through Rudolf.
23:21He let Rabbi Lowe read it.
23:22And when the rabbi fails,
23:23Rudolf will imprison him like Kelly,
23:25or worse.
23:26I can read it.
23:28All I have to do is convince Rudolf to let me try.
23:30And what then?
23:31He won't give up the book.
23:33He will lock you away with it.
23:34His new curiosity.
23:35You just don't like the way he is around me.
23:37You have to trust me.
23:38This is not a matter of trust.
23:40Then let me try.
23:42What other plan do you have?
23:43I've got one.
23:50Both of you join the emperor's hunt.
23:53I think I can get into the kunskamer annex.
23:56And the book must be in there somewhere.
23:57If I can steal it,
23:58we can all get out of here
23:59before Rudolf even knows it's gone.
24:01And what are the queen's interests?
24:02We need Kelly.
24:03Without the book,
24:08Rudolf will have no use
24:09for poor old Edwards.
24:21Strange.
24:23I only required
24:24Frau Royden's presence,
24:25not yours.
24:28My apologies.
24:29I simply cannot resist
24:32a spot of fulcrum here.
24:34Then I suppose
24:35we must find you
24:36an appropriate bird.
24:45Artemis
24:46is the Greeks
24:47called Diana.
24:52I cannot say
24:53which of you
24:54I should rather hunt with.
24:57Artemis will be mine.
24:59Matthias.
25:04Sarka
25:05will be your bird.
25:11So she's a warrior then?
25:13Yes.
25:15During the Maidens' War,
25:17Sarka destroyed
25:18an entire battalion
25:19by herself.
25:21You flatter me,
25:22your majesty.
25:24Success in the hunt
25:24relies on the skill
25:25of the falconer,
25:26not the wiles of his bird,
25:28Matthias.
25:28Hey, nice.
25:36Uh-huh.

30:11of weird teeth

33:11I want you

33:15and you
33:15will always have
33:16if you're not
33:18you
33:19I duper
33:20and you
33:20The Emperor sends his apologies and summons you both to view the Kunskammer.
33:50Well, we have to go.
33:57I told Pierre to bring Francois and Jack and enough horses for all of us to the main gates
34:02by nightfall.
34:03It's very likely we'll be living in a hurry.
34:14Your Majesty, may I apologize for...
34:28Nonsense.
34:29Nonsense.
34:30It was all just sport.
34:37Please.
34:39A medicinal.
34:41The horn renders it twice as efficacious.
34:45It's very good.
35:00It's very good.
35:06Exquisite, is it not?
35:11Hmm.
35:13It represents the serpent in the garden,
35:16reminding us to be watchful
35:17for the poisoned tongue of flatter us and deceiver us.
35:22Is there any part of your collection
35:23you keep from the public eye?
35:27Is there something in particular you wish to see?
35:32I hear you possess a book.
35:34One that contains the secrets of life itself.
35:42Lately, Latiosa,
35:45my trust and generosity has been much abused
35:50by Dissemblers and liars.
35:54Many of you expressed surprise
36:05when I invited a Jewish mystic into my court.
36:09But you need not have worried.
36:12This Jew has no arcane talent
36:14beyond the typical low cunning of his people.
36:16Is that not so, Rabbi?
36:27As you say, Your Majesty.
36:32Get this deceiver out of my sight.
36:34If I did have this book you speak of,
36:43why would I give it to you?
36:45A prying English spy and charlatan.
36:48I am no charlatan.
37:08I am no charlatan.
37:10You.
