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 Setor.
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 declare-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 measurement.
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 needed to a woman who walks in the footsteps of the goddess.
00:56They journey now to Bohemia in search of the Book of Life.
01:26And they come to send me a man, you bothasa
01:27and I need to send us to a girl Atlantic.
01:29And she is home to 3 years.
01:30It is ready forazi種.
01:31This is trenings of dying to cut dark blood,
01:33and she, Herbert, definitely has it.
01:34This is an enjoys, if we actually took an eye out during theוחment.
01:36Therefore, Tina泊 will burn us an addition to SCP-3.
01:37Theструмент will let it 한번 kill hearts and monitor the dwelt.
01:40Oh, no.
01:41People.
01:42Please,際席.
01:43The rebels and the Clausom wanted to fight the Germans.
01:44culture, no part of our soul in the jungle.
01:46But this things, Diana, you must play at all you.
01:48This is an Snape.
01:49You have one lastOUR days in ournante of the ancient h retractor.
01:51What do you want?
01:52Halt!
01:54Beget, Diane.
01:59I am Matthew Roydon.
02:01I'm here on business for Queen Elizabeth of England.
02:03His Imperial Majesty Rudolph II
02:05tires of Elizabeth's ambassadors.
02:07I am no mere ambassador.
02:10And I will have the Emperor's answer from his own lips,
02:13not yours.
02:22Come on.
02:40Find a gala glass of my man P.I., would you?
02:52Wait here.
03:11This is just the Emperor's hunting lodge.
03:13Yes.
03:14Kenny chose his benefactor very well.
03:17The might of the Holy Roman Empire
03:19dwarfs that of England in every respect.
03:23Certainly has an eye for beauty.
03:33His Imperial Majesty grants you a brief audience.
03:52Even when I retreat into the mountains,
03:54I cannot escape a pestering by England's diplomatic hordes.
03:58Matthew Roydon, Your Majesty.
04:00I know exactly who you are, Matthias de Clermont.
04:03Since you introduced yourself as Roydon,
04:05I 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.
04:16Herr Kelly resides in Prague.
04:19I have heard that he travels with your court.
04:25Do you question me?
04:27I know what you are.
04:30Vampire.
04:32Remember, you were only permitted on Bohemian soil by my grace.
04:36I apologize, Your Majesty.
04:40Matthew was only pressing my case.
04:42I'd hoped I'd be given an opportunity for discourse
04:45with 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.
04:59Laviosa della Casa, the goddess of the hunt.
05:08May I introduce my wife, Your Majesty?
05:12My spies would have informed me
05:13had Elizabeth's shadow taken a wife,
05:16particularly one so intriguing.
05:20Perhaps you should consider hiring more thorough spies,
05:24Your Majesty.
05:26Enjoy your time in Bohemia, Mistress Roydon.
05:29Use it to teach your husband manners befitting my court.
05:59In the last 30 minutes,
06:01You have said that my daughter-in-law is unaboluted
06:03You will never make you sick.
06:04You will never make me sick and be sick.
06:06You have a better plan,
06:07and you will never make you sick.
06:08In the last 30 minutes,
06:09you have to move on.
06:10You will never make me sick.
06:11You have to know what you are.
06:12And you have to know.
06:14I am aven maker.
06:15I am a
06:19one.
06:22You have to know what you is.
06:23May I test you with a friend of our own world.
06:24May I have to know.
06:25I have to know.
06:26I am a one.
06:27I 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
06:51if it gets us closer to the book.
06:53Callum glass.
07:09You've mated.
07:12I should call you auntie now.
07:15Where's Pierre?
07:16At the lodgings.
07:18We have an unexpected guest.
07:21This way.
07:23Mr. Snowyden.
07:31Jack!
07:32We was on an enormous ship
07:34and there was a storm
07:34and lots of people were sick
07:36but I wasn't...
07:36I'm not Jack.
07:40Bedtime.
07:40I know.
07:48But once you left,
07:49nightmares every time he slept
07:51weeping 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!
08:01I'm sorry.
08:05But what would you have me do?
08:07Keep him prisoner?
08:15Rudolph may be telling the truth.
08:17No one I've spoken to has seen Kelly.
08:19I doubt that the Emperor
08:21would leave behind
08:21the man who's offered him
08:22eternal 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.
08:33If Rudolph thinks the book
08:34is key to creating
08:35the Philosopher's Stone
08:35he won't let Kelly take it.
08:37Ah, you're right there.
08:39They say once the Emperor
08:40sets his heart on something
08:41he'll stop at nothing to get it.
08:43And once he has it...
08:56For the Goddess.
09:02The Goddess?
09:05I assume that's not you, Matthew.
09:13It's an automaton.
09:26The Goddess of the Hunt.
09:31What is the matter?
09:33What's the matter?
09:34I take it you saw
09:35how hostile the Emperor was.
09:37I saw how hostile
09:38he was towards you.
09:40He lit up when I mentioned Alcme.
09:43You saw the gift he sent me.
09:46He's practically
09:46inviting me back to the castle.
09:49I could bring him D's book,
09:51convince him
09:51it's something that he wants.
09:54No.
09:56Kelly is the key.
09:59And the less we arouse
10:00the attention of the Emperor
10:01the more likely we'll be able
10:02to get Kelly back to England safely.
10:03We don't even know if he's here.
10:07At least let me try
10:08while you look for him.
10:10Ah.
10:10Take a yellow glass with me.
10:29Diana Royden,
10:30I have a gift
10:31for His Imperial Majesty.
10:33So does everyone,
10:34Frau Royden.
10:35So does everyone.
10:36That will be all right.
11:00Kelly must have a laboratory here
11:09somewhere he can continue his work
11:10undisturbed
11:11Let's take a look at the apothecary, Pierre
11:16I'm surprised, Matthew,
11:22let you approach the emperor alone
11:23Well, my husband's changed a lot
11:26in the 400 years since you knew him
11:27But now you're mated
11:29Well, it's different
11:33Blood rage is harder to control
11:35It's primal
11:36Physical
11:38If provoked, he will struggle to contain himself
11:43We're going to be here till midnight at this rate
11:55Wait here
11:56What are you doing?
11:57Accelerating proceedings
12:01Madame de Clermont
12:13Apologies
12:15Such a recent blood vow is positively deafening
12:20I'm Benjamin Fools
12:22I work as a collector for the emperor
12:25Are you a friend of the De Clermonts?
12:28I fear I am beneath their interests
12:31I was cast out of my own clan
12:34I've always found myself more comfortable around
12:38Other kinds of creatures
12:39Other kinds of creatures
12:40You haven't geschlossen
12:53Even for the emperor's alchemist
12:55You are not the imperial alchemist
12:59Ah, so you have met him then
13:01It 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
13:16If you wish to browse, might I suggest you visit the market?
13:21The audience with his imperial majesty is over for today
13:48Come now
13:49Keep moving
13:50Keep moving
13:52Keep moving
13:55Auntie
13:56Auntie
13:57Auntie
13:58What did you do?
14:03I may have intimated to the chamberlain in the way of a very desirable painting for sale
14:08Bloody Osa
14:18You are a woman of many surprises
14:22I hear that you are the owner of a curious work by Hieronymus Bosch
14:26You did?
14:31Your Majesty, I, in my haste to be admitted to your presence, I, I fear there has been some miscommunication.
14:42A miscommunication?
14:43Yes.
14:45I 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. You have quite an eye, mistress.
14:55I do not have the painting that you wanted.
14:59However, I do have another gift.
15:15I've seen this before. It 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.
15:29Can 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.
15:48Tell me, Ladioza, are you interested in the rare and uncanny arts?
16:00Steiner was rattled. He's hiding something.
16:03He clearly had met Kelly. He recognized that I wasn't in.
16:07But there's no appointments for Kelly in his ledger.
16:09No, but there's a Talbot. That'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.
16:18And every appointment with Talbot is at an odd hour.
16:23It's always after Daraq, someone keen to avoid being seen.
16:27But how can we be sure Talbot is Kelly?
16:29I suppose we'll see for ourselves.
16:34Talbot has an appointment book for tonight.
16:39Thank you, Pierre.
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.
17:03The 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.
17:18I cannot believe that.
17:25Please.
17:29Of course, the bulk of my cook's camera 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.
17:45This drinking vessel is fashioned from the horn of a unicorn.
17:56Incredible.
17:58Entirely incredible.
17:59In 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,
18:15who are nothing but oil subject.
18:18But words have power, do they not?
18:20I'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,
18:31so might the hidden meaning of words be revealed
18:33through the mathematics of their letters.
18:37You have so many miraculous items.
18:40Things I would hardly have believed existed.
18:42I 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?
19:20Weak.
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.
19:29Has 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.
19:59Blood and desire.
20:01Blood and fear.
20:04It begins with a discovery of witches.
20:08I must work.
20:10I must work.
20:11My work!
20:13No!
20:26It's very gallant of you to escort me all the way from our lodgings.
20:29I want to speak to the Maharal myself.
20:32Rabbi Lowe is one of history's most esteemed scholars.
20:35Rudolf brought a mirror specifically to decipher books.
20:38Dina.
20:38Dina.
20:39Dina.
20:40Dina.
20:41Dina.
20:42Dina.
20:43Dina.
20:44Dina.
20:45Dina.
20:46Dina.
20:47Dina.
20:48Dina.
20:49Dina.
20:50Dina.
20:51Dina.
20:52Dina.
20:53Dina.
20:54Dina.
20:55Dina.
20:56Dina.
20:57Dina.
20:58Dina.
20:59Dina.
21:00Dina.
21:01Dina.
21:02Dina.
21:03Dina.
21:04Dina.
21:05Dina.
21:06Dina.
21:07Dina.
21:08Dina.
21:15A witch, a vampire, and a Jew meeting in secret.
21:22It was said, Christian tongues wagging for miles to run.
21:32Oh.
21:35I noticed the yellow circle.
21:39Men fear what they do not see more than what they do.
21:43The emperor has convinced my people who hold secret magics.
21:47Rudolph brought you here to study a book, didn't he?
21:52Your husband believes that is a dangerous question to ask.
21:55One should find wholeness in a marriage, Matthew,
21:58that he should never become a prison.
22:01Let 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, I was not the one.
22:12God has chosen to read it.
22:15Perhaps you are, Frau Royden.
22:18Rabbi, how did you convince Rudolph to let you see it?
22:23He convinced himself, imagining I would succeed where others had failed.
22:27He will be furious when I cannot.
22:29Why not just tell him?
22:32Frau Royden, to disappoint the emperor is dangerous, but to refuse him could be deadly.
22:39Now, I'm done.
22:40Jack!
22:41Are you cheating?
22:42It's one again.
22:43A letter came.
22:44Oh, yes.
22:45For Mistress Royden.
22:46Oh.
22:47Oh.
22:48Jack!
22:49Are you cheating?
22:50It's one again.
22:54A letter came.
22:55Oh, yes.
22:56For Mistress Royden.
22:58Oh.
23:02It's a summons to a pheasant hunt.
23:05With the emperor.
23:06Can I come?
23:07Give them a moment to talk, Jack.
23:10Come on.
23:13This has gone too far.
23:17Kelly won't bring us the book.
23:18We need to go through Rudolph.
23:20He let Rabbi Lowe read it.
23:21And when the rabbi fails, Rudolph will imprison him like Kelly, or worse.
23:26I can read it.
23:27All I have to do is convince Rudolph to let me try.
23:30And what then?
23:31He won't give up the book.
23:32He will lock you away with it, his new curiosity.
23:34You 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?
23:44I've got one.
23:50Both of you join the emperor's hunt.
23:52I think I can get into the Kunskammer annex.
23:55The book must be in there somewhere.
23:57If I can steal it, we can all get out of here before Rudolph even knows it's gone.
24:01And what are the queen's interests?
24:02We need Kelly.
24:03We've found a book.
24:05Rudolph will have no use for poor old Edwards.
24:08Strange.
24:09I only required Frau Royden's presence, not yours.
24:13My apologies.
24:14I simply cannot resist a spot of Fulcrum here.
24:16Then I suppose we must find you an appropriate bird.
24:20Artemis is the Greeks called Diana.
24:27I cannot say which of you I should rather hunt with.
24:28Artemis is the Greeks called Diana.
24:34Artemis is the Greeks called Diana.
24:35I cannot say which of you I should rather hunt with.
24:39Artemis will be mine, Matthias.
24:41Saka will be your birth.
24:42I should be your birth.
24:43Arthur, you're the Greek.
24:44If you take it off, he is the Greeks called Diana.
24:45Artemis is the Greeks called Diana.
24:46Artemis is the Greeks called Diana.
24:48I cannot say which of you I should rather hunt with.
24:49Artemis will be mine, Matthias.
24:50I cannot say which of you I should rather hunt with.
25:04Sarka will be your bird.
25:11So she's a warrior then?
25:13Yes.
25:15During the Maidens' War, Sarka destroyed an entire battalion by herself.
25:21You flatter me, your majesty.
25:23Success in the hunt relies on the skill of the falconer,
25:26not the wiles of his bird, Matthias.
25:34Are you nice?
25:36Uh...
26:04Cheers!
26:34Let's go.
27:04Let's go.
27:34Let's go.
27:41Well done, Your Majesty.
27:45Has Rabbi Loh looked at the book I gave you yet?
27:47The rabbi has been busy.
27:49Ah.
27:50With other books?
27:51I fear the rabbi's learning has been somewhat exaggerated.
27:55Ask no more about him or his books.
27:59You have been slow to lose Saka, Matthias.
28:03Afraid to let your bird fly free?
28:05Lest you find a more comfortable place to roost.
28:07I have some experience with alchemical techs myself.
28:14Yes.
28:15You are an intriguing case, Bralroydon.
28:18An alchemist and a witch and supposedly married to a vampire.
28:22Don't you find his touch a little cold?
28:27You jest, Your Majesty.
28:28Do you not sometimes wish for something warmer in your bed?
28:38Release!
28:38Police!
28:39Police!
28:39I don't know.
29:09You broke my bird.
29:30Your majesty, my husband.
29:31Be gone.
29:32You have abused my kindness monstrously.
29:35Agents.
29:37Spies.
29:37I want you gone from my lands.
29:52The book wasn't there.
29:56But I found something else.
29:59Rudolph's secret collection.
30:01And that hand belonged to a witch.
30:10It was in a box with a necklace of weak teeth.
30:13The preserved brain of some poor demon.
30:15Bits of creatures.
30:19That's it.
30:22Leave tonight.
30:23What about the book?
30:24Enough of the book!
30:25If you're angry at me, just say it.
30:44You are never to see him again.
30:46For God's sake, Matthew!
30:48Why don't you trust me?
30:50You don't understand.
30:50I don't trust myself.
30:51Then let me speak to Rudolph alone.
30:53I cannot!
30:55I cannot.
30:58I could smell him on you.
31:04This is what I like to you.
31:06This is what meeting is.
31:08An unspeakable urge to possess you, body and soul.
31:11A rage.
31:13A rage that feeds on it.
31:15It's all right, Miss.
31:25You've never seen what it makes me do.
31:30You won't hurt me.
31:39No.
31:40Not you.
31:42For you.
31:43I would wade through the blood of kings and queens and emperors.
31:48I would stop nothing.
31:50To prevent that from happening to you.
31:56Matthew.
32:03We're still talking.
32:04Let me go!
32:05You are not defined by the worst things you've done.
32:15You are my husband.
32:18And the most brilliant man I know.
32:22You are kind.
32:27And gentle.
32:28Come back to me.
32:47You are Matthew to Claremont.
32:50And stronger than this.
32:52You areuję.
33:01Amen.
33:31The Emperor sends his apologies and summons you both to view the Kunskammer.
33:52Well, we have to go.
33:57Tell Pierre to bring Francois and Jack and enough horses for all of us to the main gates by nightfall.
34:03It's very likely we'll be leaving in a hurry.
34:05Your Majesty, may I apologize for...
34:12Nonsense.
34:13Nonsense.
34:14It was all just sport.
34:15Please.
34:16I'm medicinal.
34:17The horn renders it twice as efficacious.
34:19I'm medicinal.
34:20The horn renders it twice as efficacious.
34:25Hmm.
34:26Hmm.
34:27Hmm.
34:28Hmm.
34:29Hmm.
34:30Hmm.
34:31Hmm.
34:32Hmm.
34:33Hmm.
34:34Hmm.
34:35Hmm.
34:36Hmm.
34:37Hmm.
34:38Hmm.
34:39Hmm.
34:40Hmm.
34:41Hmm.
34:42Hmm.
34:43Hmm.
34:44Hmm.
34:45Exquisite, is it not?
35:11It represents the serpent
35:15in the garden, reminding us to be watchful
35:17for the poisoned tongue of flatterers
35:19and deceivers.
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.
35:35One that contains the secrets of
35:37life itself.
35:43Lately,
35:43my trust and generosity
35:49has been much abused
35:50by dissemblers
35:52and liars.
36:02Many of you expressed surprise
36:05when I invited a Jewish mystic
36:07into my court.
36:09But you need not have worried.
36:11This Jew has no arcane talent
36:14beyond the typical low cunning
36:15of his people.
36:23Is that not so, Rabbi?
36:27As you say,
36:28your majesty.
36:29Get this deceiver
36:33out of my sight.
36:41If I did have this book
36:43you speak of,
36:43why would I give it to you?
36:45A prime English spy
36:47and charlatan.
36:48I am no charlatan.
37:08You are magnificent.
37:24Anything you want.
37:27Anything.
37:28Anything.
37:29Nate,
37:30show me the book.
37:31I don't know.
38:01This is an outrage. Kelly is an Englishman and under the Queen's protection.
38:26You had your chance, Edward. Let Gladioza see the book.
38:31I don't know.
39:01I won't stop screaming in my life.
39:16Scream.
39:18You may have Kelly's shadow. I no longer need him.
39:25I found something much more precious.
39:30The book!
39:42Stop! Stop!
39:44Stop screaming!
39:47Get me in the book!
39:54Mark it! This way!
39:57This way!
39:58Stop!
39:59Stop!
40:00Stop!
40:02No!
40:04I'm not.
40:05Stop!
40:06Let's go.
40:36Let's go.
40:56Where's Jack?
40:57François's waiting with him. Two miles north.
41:00There.
41:06This book is made from a skin of creatures.
41:10Matthew.
41:11Witches, demons, vampires.
41:13The ink is made from our blood.
41:14The pages are bound together with our hair.
41:16I'm sorry, Diana, but this is more like a book of death.
41:18Matthew.
41:19We have to go.
41:21Absence and desire.
41:36Blood and fear.
41:39I can still hear the book.
41:47Screaming.
41:48Quiet!
41:49No one cares about your book.
41:51I care about your book, Edward.
42:15Most of the items in Rudolf II's Kunstkammer now reside in different collections across the world.
42:29But here, we have some of the writings made by the English alchemist Edward Kelly while he was imprisoned.
42:36Most are illegible, however.
42:38And the mysterious screaming book he mentions has never been conclusively identified.
42:44Edward Kelly claims to have bequeathed a single page to each of the three species if we could find one.
43:07Becca, what are you trying to tell us?
43:10This is the property of the Knights of Nazareth.
43:12I'm Grandmaster of the Knights.
43:14And I'm Princess Leia.
43:16All you will find are questions.
43:20Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
43:22I trust you're here with solid information.
43:24I've established a connection I think will interest you.
43:26A baby.
43:27A witch born to demons.
43:29If this is true, the witches will want the child.
43:33I'd hate to assume you were part of some de Claremont conspiracy involving blood rage.
43:38Whatever you know, you should tell me.
43:40Now.
43:41See into the dark.
43:46Just follow your eyes.
43:50In the dark.
43:56I hear her voice start to run.
44:05Into the trees.
44:11Maybe if not...
44:12I've got a lot of tears for magic and wressing around.
44:14You have a life man, but it's not real.
44:19And I'm re- Gonna be dreamtult.
44:22Jane watched like this and I'm making a sea.
44:24And where do you do this?
44:26Alright, come on.
44:27No.
44:28What are you doing?
44:29I'm doing you do this.
44:34You did then.
44:37Bye.
44:38Ss.
