00:15Once, long ago, we lived in the human world.
00:21The Moroi vampires who make the rules.
00:26And the Dampirr guardians sworn to protect against our enemy.
00:31The Strigoi.
00:33Undead vampires who live to kill.
00:36Now we live in a world of our own.
00:39One grounded in elemental magic and steeped in rules no one's challenged in centuries.
00:46Until now.
00:51The spark of revolution can come from anywhere.
00:56Even to unlikely friends.
01:00And one night that changed everything.
01:36I look like a fucking macaroon.
01:40And now, you look like a princess.
01:49Oh, how do you even wear this thing?
01:51I just lost a hundred strands.
01:53Heavy as the head, thin as the hair.
01:56Rose, if anyone looks like a macaroon, it's me.
01:59You look beautiful.
02:00We look beautiful, Sarah.
02:02Head to toe.
02:05Let's party.
02:07To all citizens of the Dominion, on this, the eve of my 200th birthday, and my last as your queen,
02:15I thank you.
02:16You have traveled far and wide, leaving the safety of your provinces to come to the celebration here at St.
02:24Blodinus.
02:24We all know the dangers that lurk outside our gates.
02:29Our strigoi enemy is strong, but we are stronger.
02:34And under the protection of our dampier guardians, we are safe.
02:39So let us have one last festivity together.
02:44Because of the nearly two centuries as your queen, the one thing I assure you I've learned is how to
02:52throw one hell of a party.
03:07Victor Dashkov.
03:11My daughters, Sonia Kaur.
03:13Mia Kaur.
03:15One Royal Maroi, one non.
03:19And the third?
03:20Mia.
03:20The guardians make us suffer through this every time.
03:22It's security protocol.
03:23It's humiliating.
03:25How do they not know who I am?
03:26Mia, darling, this boy.
03:35Non-royal.
03:36Not for long.
03:57Rose, behave.
03:58Always.
03:59I'll buzz up.
04:01Don't encourage her.
04:02She's a guest of Morg Princess.
04:04Now have some fun.
04:05Guardians aren't here.
04:06Guardians aren't here to have fun.
04:19Once my family greets the queen, we can have some fun.
04:24Nice.
04:26Excuse you.
04:29What are the Dragomirs thinking letting Lissa invite that girl everywhere she goes?
04:33A guardian's place is at the gates.
04:49The Dragomirs, your majesty.
04:53Clarence would introduce his father to his mother.
04:57How are my delightful Dragomirs?
05:00Happy birthday, fair lady.
05:02You don't look a day over 80.
05:03Andre, my dear, you're a cheeky rascal.
05:07And a dreadful liar.
05:10Happy birthday for me as well, your majesty.
05:13Princess Vasilisa.
05:15Angel to your brother Andre's devil.
05:17He is shameless, your majesty.
05:20How should he be punished?
05:21Being king of the dominion will be punishment enough.
05:33Though surely you'll find something to cheer him once he's king.
05:37Now, your majesty, you know there'll have to be an actual election.
05:41Ah, mere formality.
05:43Who would deny me my pick of successor if I say Andre will be king?
05:49Then so it shall be.
05:58Looks like Mia lost her prince.
06:00Come on, maybe she let him out of her sight long enough to lose him.
06:04Where is Andre?
06:12Shit, I gotta go.
06:20Never leave a girl I'm done, Andre.
06:23Not even for the queen.
06:29It's a pleasure to meet you.
06:31Tatiana.
06:32Tatiana.
06:36Tatiana.
06:46Tatiana.
06:47Tatiana.
06:47Tatiana.
06:48Tatiana.
06:51Tatiana.
06:58Tatiana.
06:59Tatiana.
07:00Tatiana.
07:02Tatiana.
07:02Tatiana.
07:07SIGUI!
07:37Right the way you want me
07:46For me whiskey soda
07:48I cannot be sober
07:50One shot and I'm up
07:51Two shots and it's over
07:53Show me how you like it
07:55Show me how you like it
07:57Show me what you're getting
07:59I'm a shoulder guide
08:07We're going neutralized
08:08Back to position
08:16Run up, run up
08:24Run up, run up
08:30Run up, run up
08:34You know, I'm pretty sure Andre danced with every single girl at that party
08:39Poor Mia
08:40Poor Mia will get the only thing she really wants once we marry
08:45Royal status
08:48My son
08:50The next king of the dominion
08:52I hate to admit it, but you will make a great king
08:54If I can get the factions to remember we're not enemies
08:57It'll go a long way towards peace in the dominion
09:00You know, Rose, I get my pick of guardian once I'm king
09:02Sorry, once I graduate, Liz and I will be too busy exploring the world
09:05And everyone knows I want Rose to be my guardian
09:09I'm not budging on that
09:10What we want and what we must do can be two very different things
09:13Maybe your almost majesty
09:15But not tonight
09:17A toast
09:19To having everything I want
09:22A know-it-all big brother
09:27The most supportive parents either one of us could ever hope for
09:32And Rose, my best friend for life
09:36And Rose, my best friend for life
10:12To the hits
10:12As an immediate친 Guest
10:123
10:1212
10:48I don't know how to say goodbye
10:52I don't know how any of us
10:53are supposed to go on without you
10:59Mom
11:02Mom
11:06Audrey
11:10I will love you forever
11:20I'm ready to go back
11:22Are you sure?
11:27It's time
11:41I'm ready to go back
11:41I'm ready to go back
11:42I'm ready to go back
12:25Let's go.
12:34It's all right.
12:35Rose won't harm Lissa.
12:37She has something.
12:39Show me.
12:42It's a super dangerous welcome home gift.
12:47I love it.
12:48I mean, I'm not 12, but...
12:50Shut up. It's fucking adorable.
12:58Who was that guy?
12:59That was Dimitri, my new guardian.
13:03Not for long.
13:04I know. Don't worry.
13:05You're still going to be assigned to me after we graduate.
13:08Will I?
13:09Maybe when Andre was going to be king, but now...
13:12But no one can say no to me right now.
13:15Not after...
13:17We're just going to have to write it out for a while.
13:21Right.
13:22We're not going to let Dimitri or anything else get in our way with our plans for the future.
13:27He is good looking, though.
13:29I didn't notice.
13:47What's this for?
13:48I'm just...
13:52Really...
13:53Really happy to see you.
14:00Will Rose Hathaway be a problem?
14:02Rose is always a problem.
14:03She's one of our best guardian novices, but...
14:06She's a handful.
14:07The girls have been friends their entire lives.
14:09I mean, we've spoiled them.
14:11Let them break all the rules.
14:13Even let them be roommates in the Maroi dorms.
14:15Is it any surprise Rose would have certain expectations?
14:18A guardian's duty is to do as they're told.
14:20With all due respect, I'm not a nanny.
14:24My job is protection.
14:26A word that can take many forms.
14:46Oh, that's nice.
14:55Wow.
14:57Look who's back from the dead.
15:00Is that too soon?
15:02It's nice to see you too, Jesse.
15:03So a little birdie told me you'll be head of the Dragomir family now.
15:09I hope my father can count on your vote.
15:12I don't know, Jesse.
15:14Honestly, the political stuff was Andre's thing, not mine.
15:24You know, we feeders here a lot.
15:27You're smart to stay out of it.
15:30The politics in this place have gotten really ugly.
15:35Be careful.
15:41It's dangerous to wait too long, Your Majesty.
15:44We need strong leadership now.
15:46I assume you'll name your successor soon.
15:49I have some thoughts.
15:51And I have a date with an old friend.
15:54Your excuse, Marie.
15:59Your Majesty?
16:02Your Majesty?
16:26Maybe for her.
16:27You know, she was planning to apply for a dispensation to study art abroad.
16:30Those dreams are done.
16:33Lisa must finish her schooling and take her rightful place in the royal court.
16:38And Rose?
16:38When she finishes her training, we'll find her placement in one of the other provinces.
16:44She won't like that.
16:46Maroy come first.
16:47Rose knows that.
16:49She'll do her duty.
17:14Might help if we flitz on an actual light, right?
17:17That would damage the paper.
17:19It's a thousand years old.
17:20Oh.
17:21Of course.
17:23I'm not sure it would help anyway.
17:25You only need to recite this small passage for the consecration.
17:29Recite?
17:30I need to recite old Maroy in front of people?
17:33Tonight?
17:34Any new head of a family must be blessed in the presence of all the others.
17:38Sorry.
17:39It's tradition.
17:51It's a beautiful yellow you're wearing.
17:56Thank you, Sonia.
17:58I really like it too.
18:07Mono.
18:10Mono.
18:27All right, who's there?
18:34I thought you could use some light.
18:39And you are?
18:41And you?
18:45I'm Christian Rosera.
18:49Oh.
18:50And just to get it out of the way, no, I don't know why my parents chose the ultimate sin
18:55and turned Strigoy.
18:56And since they're dead, can't ask them.
19:01So you what, just hang around old church archives waiting for girls to need a light?
19:05Or might just have some questions.
19:09About where we go after we die.
19:14I'm sorry about your parents.
19:18I'm sorry about yours.
19:23So, um, did you actually read this stuff?
19:27Well, I'm not exactly on top of anyone's invite list.
19:30I got time.
19:32Lots of time.
19:34And you'd be surprised by the secrets these dusty records hold.
19:40Plus, old Maroy really is kind of...
19:45Beautiful.
19:50I don't think I can do this.
19:53Say it with me.
19:54Okay.
19:57I don't think I can do this.
20:05Say it with me.
20:05Yeah.
20:12Well, as the name of my parents.
20:16I know you're so, uh...
20:21Well, it's time to go.
20:22Well, I'm sure.
20:22Well, I'm sure.
20:23Well, I'm sure.
20:23I'm sure you can talk this up.
20:38You know, we have wards around the gates to keep us safe from Strigoi.
20:42Lyssa doesn't need 24-7 detail.
20:45Lyssa's still at the church.
20:48Royals only.
20:49So you're just having a staring contest with the air?
20:53You've studied perimeter control.
20:55Yes. Got me.
20:57What's around this perimeter?
20:59Don't look. Just tell me.
21:03Street clear, gates secured, rooftop empty, turrets contained.
21:08How do you know?
21:09I've trained for years to know every inch of this place.
21:12Exactly. You're able to operate on instinct because you're intimately familiar with your surroundings.
21:17But I'm new here. Lots to learn in a little time.
21:23So I suppose you could say I'm having a staring contest with the street, the gates, the rooftops, and the
21:31turrets.
21:33You're kind of a guardian nerd, aren't you?
21:38It's cool. Do your thing, perimeter man.
21:42But just know I plan on taking your job when I graduate.
21:46I agree.
21:47I agree. Lyssa would be in perfectly good hands with the best guardian at St. Vladimir's Academy.
21:54Although, that may be hard, given your ranking.
21:59I'm number one. I'm always number one.
22:02Then perhaps, you're not as good at primitive control as you think.
22:12What the fuck?
22:19Hey!
22:20How am I fifth?
22:22If you missed class, it's an automatic ten demerits.
22:25It's very tight for top five.
22:27I missed class to welcome Lyssa back to school.
22:30Find me a stragoi who'll accept that excuse and we'll park.
22:40Game on, halfway.
22:43Don't get comfortable, mate.
22:46Let's go, Jen!
22:48Go!
22:49Go!
22:56Go!
22:58Go!
22:59Go!
23:00Go!
23:00Go!
23:02Go!
25:56A fucking draw.
25:56Round two.
25:58Weapons.
26:08I'm not sure you should be here.
26:15I'm a royal.
26:17Can't keep me out.
26:45I'm surprised to see you here.
26:47Yeah.
26:47It's been a while since I've been in one of these things.
26:51People generally aren't very excited to see my face.
26:55So why did you come?
26:57To see if you needed an old Roy tutor.
26:59Your heart's in it, but your pronunciation is terrible.
27:05The queen is looking for you?
27:24I'm impressed.
27:25Rose is half mason size, but she's using it as an advantage.
27:28Trust me.
27:29She'll do something to fuck it up.
27:31Christian Ozer is a non-starter.
27:33His parents chose to turn Strigoy.
27:35That's not his fault.
27:37It's a mortal sin.
27:38The last thing you need is the church against you.
27:41Now, we need to discuss your schedule.
27:42The other heads of families will be inviting you to a series of less formal events,
27:46although still mandatory, starting tomorrow.
27:48I get it.
27:49There has to be an official head of family, but in just a few months, Rose and I are out
27:52of here.
27:53Why waste your time teaching me something I'm never going to use?
27:56Unfortunately, kiddo, Andre's death changes everything for you, including your plans for
28:01your future.
28:02What we want and what we must do are often miles apart.
28:06What we want and what we must do can be two very different things.
28:26Listen, what's wrong?
28:50Some for you, and you.
29:03Anything interesting out there?
29:05Just Sonya.
29:07A bird lady.
29:08Be gentle on your sister.
29:09I am.
29:11Sometimes.
29:13I just don't understand why she has to be so weird all the time.
29:16Sweetie, you need to give that back to Lissa.
29:21I do not.
29:23And anyway, I'm wearing it to the reception tomorrow.
29:26I'm sorry, Mia.
29:26It's royals only.
29:27The queen was very insistent.
29:29So that's it?
29:31One minute I'm the future king's fiancee and the next I'm invisible.
29:36I'm keeping the necklace.
29:37It's a Dragomir family heirloom.
29:39And a Dragomir gave it to me.
29:41And with Andre dead, you can't keep it.
29:46I was so close.
29:48Maybe he didn't love me and I didn't love him in that way, but we were good together.
29:55And I would have made a great queen.
30:00There's a lot you can do without ever sitting on a throne.
30:05Having the ear of the queen can be just as powerful.
30:10And the queen has big plans for Lissa.
30:15This is a twin.
30:19What is up with Sonya and those fucking birds?
30:46Listen.
30:47What are you doing?
30:49I just feel like everything's out of control we were all just here together and then
30:56And then there's an accident that I can barely remember. The only thing I know
31:16But if we're going to sunbathe
31:20I know where I want to be
31:41This is the first place your family took me
31:44I remember
31:46Right after I met you
31:49Standing all alone on the family
31:51And he ran straight up to me
31:54Your clothes were so clean I was afraid your parents wouldn't let you play with me
32:01I didn't know what a family was until then
32:09You keep asking me if I'm going to be okay
32:13Are you?
32:20They were everything your family should be
32:25Your mum hugged me every time I saw her
32:28Hello and goodbye
32:30And your dad made jokes about my accent
32:32I did
32:33I did
32:37Andre taught me the difference between good tequila and that gasoline
32:40Jesse Zeklo smuggles into pies
32:44Meanwhile my mum was often parts unknown
32:49And my dad well
32:51He knows
32:53So the answer to your question
32:58If I'm okay
33:01No
33:01No
33:07But I will be
33:10And now
33:13We get our own chance to say goodbye
33:17Our own memorial
33:29Be at peace
33:30Be at peace
33:47Never
33:48Come be
34:02Is
34:02Come be
34:31Thanks, Rose.
34:33I feel better than I have in a while.
34:35I know.
34:39I can kind of feel that coming off of you.
34:44It's weird.
34:45Right?
34:48Isn't that weird?
34:50I feel like you've always been pretty tuned in to me.
34:53Yeah.
34:56But this feels, I don't know, different somehow, since you've been back.
35:10Earlier, when you found me in the garden, how did you know I was there?
35:15I don't know.
35:16I just did.
35:27Shit.
35:29Oh, we should get going.
35:32It's one thing to sneak outside of the wards in the day, but if we get caught out here during
35:37the stragoi hours, we're fucked.
35:39Fine.
35:39But I'm driving.
35:43You're stronger than you look.
35:45It's just because I'm not a girl.
35:49Ouch.
35:50Shit.
35:50Are you okay?
35:51Something's bruised.
35:53Maybe my ego.
35:54Can you walk?
35:55Yeah.
35:58Oh, fuck.
35:59I'm sorry, Rose.
36:00Forget about walking.
36:01We have to run.
36:15What's wrong?
36:16I don't know.
36:17I feel sick.
36:27I don't know.
36:41Go, Lisa.
36:42I'm not just going to leave you here.
36:43It's mine! Go, go!
36:48No, go!
37:12I don't suppose there's any way we could keep this just between us.
37:31That kind of risk was unacceptable at any time.
37:35Now, the future of the Dragomir family is in your hands.
37:40A tiny family with no Andre in a society with antiquated rules.
37:44What does it even matter?
37:45If you think the rules are antiquated now, when do you see what happens if any of the Vipers jockeying
37:50for the Crown gets their way?
37:52Andre's rule meant change for us.
37:54If the Crown falls to the wrong bloodline, whatever progress your brother hoped to achieve will be impossible.
38:00The Dragomir vote is key to preventing that.
38:02Okay.
38:04I'll stay until the succession is assured.
38:07Then I'll graduate and get on with my life.
38:11Will that do?
38:15And please tell him not to be too mad at Rose.
38:18Lissa, we are well beyond that.
38:37No need.
38:38I just get an earful and then some from Alberta.
38:42Lissa and I aren't allowed to be roommates anymore.
38:52I should have told you I was taking Lissa outside of the wards.
38:56And I should have built in more time on our return for unexpected complications.
39:00But I got her back in one piece.
39:03I made sure she was protected.
39:06They come first.
39:07Protecting Lissa is my job.
39:10My only role here is to ensure that nothing happens to her.
39:15What you did was reckless and impulsive, no matter how good you are.
39:21Strength doesn't matter.
39:23Style doesn't matter.
39:25Courage doesn't matter.
39:27There's good enough and there's gone.
39:33Tonight, you almost got the person you say you care about most in the world killed.
39:43There isn't a rank low enough on that board for you right now.
40:03Looks like you're swamming it with the rest of us now.
40:18You can have that fight if you like.
40:22The view's nicer.
40:23Down the road, oh, oh, oh.
40:26Down the road, oh.
40:26Yeah, we all fall, oh, oh.
40:29Down the same road, oh, oh.
40:32What scares you the most?
40:34Get down the longest road, oh, oh, oh.
40:40Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
40:41Tell me what scares you the most.
40:43Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
40:46Tell me what scares you the most.
40:49Even when your flesh gets cold.
40:54I wondered if you knew how to say unicorn in old Maroi.
41:19I think unicorn in Maroi is Lissa.
41:45How come our mothers, the same women who leave us on academy doorsteps as infants so they
41:53can go back to being guardians, still get to tell us what to do?
41:59I want to see if you're okay.
42:02If you don't get that many good shots in, I'll be fine.
42:05I didn't mean that.
42:13Mason, I really only have two uses for you right now, and I'm not really in the mood
42:19to spa.
42:24So...
42:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
42:30Wait a minute, Rose.
42:31Wait a minute.
42:32Hey.
42:33Hey.
42:35I can't believe I'm actually saying this.
42:38I'm not here for that now, in this moment.
42:43I thought we could talk, thought I could be a friend.
42:50Just pretend I'm Lissa, okay?
42:54Don't laugh.
42:56What would she do now?
43:00Today, it felt like the universe was conspiring against me.
43:07I may have given it some extra help, but all I wanted was to help my best friend feel
43:14better, and I did, but I also know the only way for either of us to ever feel normal or
43:21whole again to leave this place and go live our lives.
43:30Hello?

43:51She is, Your Majesty.
43:53Perhaps you can tell me why.
44:01Guardians are raised to be tough.
44:06It's the only way to survive, especially as a woman.
44:11And I am tough, but I have seen what battle can do to people.
44:24Alyssa keeps my heart in the right place.
44:29She always has a kind word or a compassionate ear for anyone who needs it.
44:35She's everything good.
44:38And everything right.
44:40And she's...
44:44She's my family.
44:54She's my son.
