00:24Henry, barely three months have passed since our vows,
00:27yet here you stand, in this very room, with your own flesh and blood, your cousin!
00:32My dear Margaret,
00:35pray do not raise your voice like some unsophisticated Ruskik.
00:39In the House of Granter, it is a long-standing tradition to keep a modicule of private enjoyment.
00:44Did your merchant father never teach you manners?
00:46You ought to thank me for relieving you of the burden of tending to your husband.
00:51Shameless! I will tell the Lord and the Lady!
01:21Let go of me, Richard! I am your brother's wife!
01:27Your wife?
01:29You're nothing but a purse of gold to fill our empty coffers.
01:32If Stop Brother gets his fun with Fenny, why not give me a turn?
01:36I'll make you feel true pleasure.
01:38Stay back!
01:39You animal!
01:41Just stay back!
01:53Mother! Father! Henry has betrayed me!
01:57I found him with Fenny in our room!
02:00And Richard! He tried to assault me!
02:03Please, I beg you, send me back to my father's estate!
02:06I refuse to stay here any longer!
02:08My sweet unfortunate girl, all this housework has clearly worn you thin, and now you suffer from delusions.
02:15Surely you do not mean to slander Henry and Richard with such venom. They are family. Family does not hurt
02:21family.
02:21She is clearly suffering from a severe nervous activity, Ashley.
02:26Inform her father that Margaret's malady demands total isolation. No one is to see her.
02:32Furthermore, transfer the entirety of her marriage portion into Henry's gnome without delay.
02:36No. You did this on purpose. You only ever wanted my dowry from day one.
02:46Your illness is making the malerious, my dear. Here, drink this calming draught, and every pain shall simply fade away.
03:11I refuse! This is not a calming draught! It is poison! Nothing but poison!
03:17You fiend! Release me at once! I demand to return to my father's house!
03:30Richard, hold her still. The patient is far too agitated.
03:40Release me, you executioners! My father is a rich merchant! He will make you pay for what you've done to
03:45me!
03:45Revenge?
03:46Oh, sweet child, how innocent you are!
03:49Your father shall receive a single, impeccably phrased letter, telling him that his beloved daughter suffered an acute malality in
03:56the night and succumbed to it.
03:58Meanwhile, your gold will stay right where it belongs, in House Granda, keeping up our appearances and mending our debts.
04:19To be continued...
04:20To be continued...
04:23To go hard for you...
04:29To no reason tryin' to erase me as I am not responsible for help of these girls are prostitots.
04:30To save everybody may be luego, but have to fight your brother to hate her offspring.
04:31Punct üç virus flavor author and date 청 viveI'e no more FROM
04:35Immediately. No one is permitted to approach her.
04:37If I have another life, I will make you pay blood for blood.
04:41May you die a wretched death.
05:00Where is this?
05:02Hell?
05:03Am I not dead?
05:17Elizabeth. Is that you?
05:20My name is not Elizabeth. Who are you? What is this place?
05:24I am an instrument of vengeance. You may call me the Count.
05:28Grander Clan took your life and claimed all that was yours.
05:31Your resentment so would rend the void itself. It bridged the chasm of death and called me forth.
05:46You are nothing now but a fading soul.
05:50In five minutes, you will vanish from this world entirely. Not a trace of you will remain.
05:57They took everything from me. My family, my fortune, my very life.
06:04I cannot simply fade away. I will go back. I will kill them. I will make them pay blood for
06:11blood.
06:11I am the instrument of vengeance for our kind. I can give you what you desire. I can reverse the
06:17flow of time to a year past, to the days before you became a grander bride, before the darkness claimed
06:23you.
06:23Send me back. Please, I beg you. Send me back.
06:26I will pay any price, as long as I can destroy them.
06:30Do not speak so lightly of any price. You have only two choices.
06:35First, release your hatred. Cleanse the violence from your soul and, as a pure spirit, pass into the cycle of
06:40a new world.
06:41Second, be reborn into vengeance.
06:43Carry all the rage you feel now. Return to the past and, with your own hands, destroy everything you wish
06:49to destroy.
06:50Yet, if vengeance you choose, heed this well. The instant you achieve your purpose and sever every thread of hatred
06:57with your own hand, you shall forfeit all memory of this life.
07:01All that you are as Margaret, including the very hatred now burning in your soul, will be torn from you.
07:05You shall be exiled to a strange and distant realm, friendless and lost.
07:08You will never again remember who you were, nor why you embarked upon this path. Are you certain of this?
07:13I am sure. I would rather lose every memory, even cease to exist, than let those devils feast on my
07:19misery and thrive upon my corpse.
07:21I shall make their lives a living hell! I shall make them suffer what I have suffered! Their house torn
07:26apart, their honor ground to dust!
07:30The covenant is sealed.
07:43House Grando, Henry, Ashley, are you ready to welcome hell itself?
08:01This time, even if I break the rules, even if it cost me everything, I will protect you.
08:18Damn it!
08:20If that East Indium doesn't return soon, the bank will seize our estate by tomorrow!
08:28Reborn to a year ago, I have not yet married Henry with my dowry.
08:34The Granda family stands on the very edge of bankruptcy.
08:41Who are you?
08:43How'd you get in here?
08:46My identity is irrelevant.
08:49What is relevant is that the East India Merchant Vessel is at the bottom of the sea.
08:54Your fortune has vanished.
08:58Utterly, irredeemably.
08:59You lie!
09:00That news is sealed!
09:02No one could possibly know it!
09:09A cable intercepted by my father's firm.
09:12Lord George, if this sees print, how long do you think it will take your creditors to tear you apart?
09:19What do you want from me?
09:23I propose a bargain.
09:27Announce to the world that I am your mistress.
09:29Have you lost your senses?
09:31A woman of breeding, offering herself as my paraloid?
09:34Decency won't spare your neck.
09:36But I will.
09:38I can suppress the shipwreck.
09:40And I know that come next week, royal mining stock will leap to three times its worth.
09:45Install me and grad a manor as your mistress.
09:46Give me command of your house and I promise you, debt will vanish.
09:50And society will welcome you back with open arms.
09:53You can really predict the stock's rise?
09:55Next Monday, put your last thousand pounds into it.
09:57Then you'll see I'm not joking.
09:58But remember, I'm your mistress in name only.
10:05But if you dare touch me, I'll kill you in a way worse than your creditors ever could.
10:14Once, you consumed my wealth, sucked me hollow, and ground me into the dust.
10:20Now, I will shatter your pride, fragment by fragment, from within your own walls.
10:41Oh my god!
10:43Ashley, this truffle beef is absolutely stunning!
10:47The last time I had a dish of this qualitative was at a dinner at Buckingham Palace.
10:53For our grander family, this is just an ordinarily part of daily life.
10:57The old lord always has very high standards when it comes to the quality of life.
11:08Who allowed you in?
11:10You're merely a canary in George's side room.
11:14Don't think that wearing a few fine clothes will put you on equal footic with us.
11:20If you're hungry, go to the kitchen and eat cold bread with the servant.
11:25This isn't where you belong.
11:28Did you hear that?
11:29Quickly take this empty plate away.
11:32Don't be a nuisance here.
11:35Miss Fanny, is your leg broken?
11:40You despicable woman!
11:42What are you saying?
11:43If your leg isn't broken, stand up on your own.
11:48I'm not here to tend to you, nor to listen to your random barking.
11:55Let go!
11:56You've hurt me!
12:03Don't touch me with those dirty hands that have touched countless men.
12:08Times have changed, Fanny.
12:10Do you really think you're entitled to act so arrogantly in my presence?
12:17Dear ladies, I hope today's lunch has pleased you all.
12:21As the true organizer of this banquet, I feel greatly honored.
12:26What?
12:27This was prepared by you?
12:29Shut up, you liar!
12:32Where did you get the money and taste to host such a banquet?
12:41Dear Miss Margaret,
12:42Are you satisfied with today's dishes?
12:51I'm very satisfied, Pierre.
12:53But some people simply don't seem worthy of your craftsmanship.
13:08Master, as you instructed.
13:12I have already punished them for Miss Margaret.
13:16Keep a close eye on those scoundrels.
13:19If they dare to fight back,
13:21you know exactly what to do.
13:24As you wish,
13:26my sharp blade is always ready to be drawn
13:28for you and the young lady.
13:34Miss Margaret, I am the Countess of Wimbledon.
13:36There will be a private dinner at the manor next week.
13:39Would you be kind enough to attend?
13:41Oh my God, the texture of your dress is absolutely stunning.
13:45It's like a blooming rose.
13:47You stupid bunch!
13:48She's just George's dispiricables mistress.
13:52She must have slept with that chef to get him here performing.
13:55A woman like that deserves to stay in a foul ditch.
14:07Someone like you,
14:08one who spews filth,
14:09lacks any manners,
14:10and is morally corrupt,
14:11is not even worthy of tasting my dishes,
14:13let alone being present in such a setting.
14:29That wretch!
14:30I'll skin her alive,
14:32I'll make her pay the price!
14:34Auntie,
14:35I feel she's different from before.
14:37The look in her eyes now
14:39seems capable of killing someone.
14:45Ashley,
14:47experienced skin peeling and muscle cramps
14:49is something you've already previous done in dinner life.
14:51The retributes from the Granda family has just begun.
15:01Everything went smoothly today.
15:04I owe this to your help.
15:05I baked the cake myself.
15:07Would you like to try it?
15:09Get out.
15:10I don't want to see your face.
15:20I know you're capable of anything,
15:22but you don't seem happy.
15:24I just wanted to express my gratitude.
15:28You've given me a home
15:29and a purpose.
15:36Do you think you know me?
15:38Do you think a piece of cake
15:39can please a monster
15:40that just emerged from hell?
15:52You are a vampire.
15:54Now you know
15:55what you're trying to please.
15:57If I need food,
15:58I'll just bite off your neck.
16:17I know she's not you.
16:22But how could I
16:23just watch her get hurt?
16:29If he hates me so much,
16:31why did he help me be reborn?
16:33Who is he really looking at through me?
16:39No matter what secrets he's hiding,
16:41I must settle the Granda family's accounts to the end.
16:54Richard.
16:56When will you and Miss Lisa get engaged?
16:58Our Granda family can't wait to welcome
17:00this beautiful lady.
17:02It's almost set, brother.
17:03Lisa's father already agreed to our marriage.
17:07I thought I heard someone talking about hunting.
17:12Know your place as a mistress.
17:13This conversation between nobles.
17:15Go back to your room.
17:16Poor Miss Lisa.
17:18This is the trap they've set for you.
17:20You do look like such plump, delicious prey.
17:24Prey?
17:24What are you talking about?
17:26You insane woman!
17:27Shut your mouth at once
17:29and get out of my sight.
17:34Miss Lisa,
17:35Richard does not love you.
17:37He loves your father's £500,000 dowry.
17:40The Granda family is deeply in debt.
17:43They cannot even pay their services next month.
17:45What?
17:46That's impossible!
17:47Richard said he invested in the East India's...
17:49The East India ship sank last month.
17:52If you doubt me,
17:54check the records at HBXE right now.
17:59Richard.
18:00Is this true?
18:01Lisa, let me explain.
18:03It's only a temporary cash flow problem.
18:06The engagement is off!
18:08You liar!
18:13You vile woman!
18:15I'll kill you!
18:16Stop this instance!
18:17If you dare touch a single hair of Margaret,
18:20I will cast you out of this family at once.
18:23Go back to your room
18:24and reflect on your act.
18:27Be a good little dog
18:28and obey.
18:33Richard's engagement has fallen through
18:35and there will be gossip.
18:37Use this money
18:37to commission a collection
18:39of bespoke high jewellery
18:41through the most pristingous department store.
18:43Then hold a showcase.
18:45Margaret,
18:45you are truly the saviour of this family.
18:47Yet,
18:48I cannot fathom
18:49what you seek
18:49in spending so great a sum.
18:51Remember this,
18:52you are but a dog I feed.
18:54A dog's duty
18:55is to wag its tail,
18:56not to question its master.
19:06Madam,
19:07these are the latest
19:08diamond eau-contour pieces.
19:10By Lord George's order,
19:12you have the first pick
19:13before they are shown to others.
19:16Oh, George!
19:17You are too kind to me!
19:19I knew you would not be bewitched
19:21by that low-blorn mistress!
19:23You...
19:23you deserve it, my dear.
19:26No!
19:26No!
19:32Wear them well, Ashley.
19:34The prouder you are now,
19:35the more desperate you shall be
19:36when the bill comes due.
19:39Human vanity is a poison.
19:42The poison you feed them
19:43is deadlier than that
19:44which they once poured into you.
19:46They destroyed my body with poison.
19:48I shall destroy their souls
19:50with greed.
19:54Do not sink too deep.
19:57The fires of hell
19:58shall burn you to ash as well.
20:02You.
20:02You.
20:05That's all.
20:07You.
20:17You.
20:37You have always been this way, so stubborn as to throw your very life away.
20:57Do not leave me. It is far too dark.
21:10Don't leave me.
21:17I swore I should never let my heart stir again. Yet why must you wear this face to tear my
21:22heart open time and time again?
21:33Did you watch over me the whole night through?
21:40Do not flatter yourself with foolish fancies.
21:44Then whence came this cup of water and the remedy?
21:48Brought by Pierre.
21:55Vampires bear no warmth of flesh. The chill lingering on this cup is the cold imprint of your fingers. My
22:01lord count, you have never been skilled at desait.
22:03Once your fever breaks, be gone to seek your vengeance. This chamber is no sanctuary for the weak.
22:12Though you are a fortress of ice, I shall uncover what tender secrets lie hidden beneath your frozen exterior.
22:31Mortal flesh is frail and fragile indeed. Shall this concoction truly cure her fever?
22:37Medicines mend only the flesh, my lord. Yet a peril far graver than fever stirs in the shadows this night.
22:47Word has come from our spy at Glenda Manor, has held frequent secret audience with the holy embosses of the
22:55Vatican.
22:55It is whispered he means to sell his family's estates, bartering wealth for forbidden relics, weapons crafted to hunt all
23:02kindred of the unnatural.
23:04The holy sea? A pack of sanctimonious hypocrites cloaked in piety. George plays with fire and shall burn in its
23:11embers.
23:11Should their alliance take root, Lady Margaret's quest for retribution shall meet grave hindrance.
23:16Shall we intervene, my lord?
23:17Shall we intervene, my lord?
23:47The heritage of the Glenda family is far beyond the reach of any up-starred.
24:05Lady Glenda, pardon the interruption to your banquet.
24:08I am a representative of HSBC Bank. We have received reports that the funds Lord George used to purchase these
24:15jewels are linked to illegal fundraising and mortgage fraud.
24:19Have you lost your senses? Do you have any idea who you are speaking to?
24:26Lady Ashley, I forgot to tell you. The cheque I gave Lord George had a genuine amount, yet it was
24:32a collateral bond pledged under the royal prison.
24:34The moment you wear these jewels in public, you admit to possessing illicit assets.
24:40By law, we are required to seize all mortgaged property on sight.
24:45Will you remove the necklace yourself, or shall we do it for you?
25:06The consequences could be dire.
25:08How dare you! This is the Glenda estate!
25:11By what authority do you...
25:12Miss Fanny, this gown you wear today was purchased with the very same funds, was it not?
25:19Counselor, if we are to seize all proceeds, does this dress fall under Fort Fishen as well?
25:40Tainted possessions are worthy of bank vaults.
25:45Ashley, this is the so-called dignity of the Glaney House you pride yourself upon.
26:10This woman is no mere mistress. She knows far too much. She must be silenced tonight. For good.
26:20Brother, a quick death would be far too merciful for her.
26:24With the Earl absent, we shall lock her in the cellar. I intend to settle scores slowly.
26:38AHHHHHHHHH!
26:57AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
27:04Margaret, you have proven far more surprising than I expected.
27:08Had you revealed such wits sooner, I might have truly fallen in love with you.
27:15Love? Is your love a draught of poison? Or the hangman's gallows?
27:22Tell me, where does your fortune stem from?
27:24Who truly is that so-called count?
27:26To confess the truth, and I shall let you live as the fruitful mistress of the Glenda household.
27:31As for the name Margaret, I shall declare her dead of sickness, and no soul shall ever uncover the truth.
27:37Henry, you remain as foolish as ever.
27:40Do you believe your crudetors will spare you simply by taking my life?
27:44You dare to spout insolence even at death's door!
27:54Please, save me!
27:59You dare to lay hand upon what belongs to me?
28:04You dare to spout insolence even at death's door!
28:13Jep!
28:14Ah!
28:14Ah!
28:15Ah!
28:15Ah!
28:15Ah!
28:15Ah!
28:15Ah!
28:16Ah!
28:16Ah!
28:16Ah!
28:17Ah!
28:30Ah!
28:30Kill him here. He does not deserve such easy mercy.
28:36He has touched you. By my rules, his hands deserve to be eaten by the hounds of hell.
28:59I told you before, if you cannot complete your revenge, you will stay confined in my chambers.
29:04Why do you keep seeking trouble?
29:06I will never make them taste true despair unless I endure hell myself. A creature of eternal life like you
29:11will never understand.
29:23Your blood has grown sweet with hatred.
29:29If you dare to die, I will bury this entire city with you.
29:48If you fear losing me so greatly, then teach me. Teach me to become as powerful as you.
30:25We are a little part for you.
30:41The year 1586, 300 years ago, this is not me, who is she?
31:14Who granted you leave to enter?
31:21Is she Elizabeth?
31:22Then what am I?
31:23Am I merely her substitute or a tool you wield for vengeance?
31:33She was my beloved whom I lay to rest with my own hands.
31:40And you are but a flawed imitation of her, born from this endless cycle.
31:59An inferior copy.
32:02Did you save me, aid me, merely to gaze upon a dead woman's shadow in my face?
32:07You ought to be grateful for this face of yours.
32:10Without it, you would be naught but a rotting corpse in the cellars.
32:36How dare you lay waste to her?
32:38I am saving you.
32:40My lord, if you fix your gaze upon the dead forever, you shall never see me as I am.
32:46I am Margaret, a wraith risen from death to seek vengeance.
32:50I am not her, nor is my soul pure and unblownished.
32:57Begone!
32:58Set foot in this chamber no more, lest I cannot answer for what I may do to you.
33:12I shall never be her shadow, nor your solace.
33:15I want no favor won by a borrowed face.
33:34Vampire.
33:37Since you can control that bitch, I'll find someone who can control you.
33:44Vampire.
33:47Vampire.
33:48Mr. Glenda, you want to kill a count-level vampire?
33:52Can you afford the price?
33:55As long as he dies and Margaret comes back to me to suffer,
33:59I can transfer all the underground mining rights of Glenda Manor to your church.
34:16This is tears of the saint.
34:18As long as you drop into his wine glass,
34:20even the most powerful monster slowly became a lamb to be slaughtered in that moment.
34:33Tomorrow is the Glenda family's hunting ball.
34:36They invited people from the parish.
34:38It's a trap.
34:39You shouldn't go.
34:41If I don't go,
34:44how can I watch their final performance?
34:47My lord, are you worried about me or about your Elizabeth?
34:53When all this is over,
34:56when hatred and grievances are all burned to ashes,
35:01can you stay and dance with me?
35:05A dance that belongs only to the two of us.
35:12After the ball,
35:16I'll wait for you.
35:48Lord Earl,
35:49this wine is offered on behalf of the Glenda House
35:51as a token of our sincere respect.
36:02He is trembling with tension.
36:04There is poison in the wine.
36:18Henry,
36:19is this the respect you speak of?
36:22A toxin harsh enough to burn through carpet,
36:24did you mean to poison the Earl or every soul in this hall?
36:27No!
36:31Strike now!
36:33They are abominations,
36:35creatures of the dark!
36:59This is the end you have chosen for yourselves.
37:34This is the end you have chosen for yourselves.
37:56The final clause of the pact demands their hearts.
38:01This is the end you have chosen for yourselves.
38:29Do not strike me. I loved you, but it was they who forced me to end your life.
38:34Love me? Is it my fortune you adore, or your own decaying noble vanity?
38:41Strike him down, and your vengeance shall be fully wrought.
38:45Yet mark this, Margaret. The covenant shall bind you in turn.
38:49You shall forget all that has passed, forget me, and dwell in the peaceful life you once craved.
38:57If I am made to forget, will you seek me in the age to come, in the mortal world of
39:03distant times?
39:05Such a mortal world is not my domain. I cannot venture there.
39:09I shall abide in this perpetual night, and dwell beside your painted litmus.
39:21I renounce my vengeance, rather than oblivion.
39:24I choose to bear all hatred and grievance, and become a creature of the dark, just as you are.
39:58I am not a creature of the dark, just as you are.
40:00You think you have won, you filthy worm living off a vampire's mercy?
40:05The Holy Order's hounds have surrounded the manor.
40:08None shall leave this place alive today.
40:10None shall leave.
40:11None shall leave.
40:16None shall leave.
40:19None shall be Simone,bumps.
40:33None shall leave.
40:33None shall be Hong Kong.
40:36Come on,аша!
40:49Count, don't you dare!
40:51Pierre! Pierre!
40:53It is futile.
40:54The tear of the saints burns his blood core.
40:57This is the judgment of ancient law.
40:59He will not survive the dawn.
41:01I am your creature. Take my blood.
41:03Take my life in exchange for his.
41:05The only remedy lies in a sacrifice.
41:08A pure, uncorrupted, original blood core.
41:12Yet you will forfeit your immortality.
41:16The law will rewrite your fate, deeming you dead a century ago.
41:29We waited for a promise for hundreds of years.
41:33This time, let me gain you a promise.
41:53A pretty much effort of etcetera, but with a hero of the enemy.
42:01The dream is right.
42:06It's useless.
42:07What have you done? Margaret, stop this at once!
42:13My lord, you falcon.
42:20A future without hatred. Dance this final dance with me.
42:45Master, her soul has escaped the curse into the cycle of reincarnation.
42:53But human life is too short. To find her in the river of time might take a hundred years.
43:02A hundred years. Even if the world resets ten thousand times, I will wait for her on the same street.
43:45And I have no intention for your life.
43:46I'll see you in the next room and the world's home.
43:47Let's go.
43:51Let's go.
43:54Let's go.
43:57So let's go.
43:58Now I'm ready to go.
43:58Let's go.
43:59Now I'm ready to go.
43:59I'm ready.
43:59Bye for now, boys.
44:00I don't know.
44:31Master, are you still unwilling to leave this place?
44:34You've waited here for over a century.
44:46To save me, she chose to bind her soul to reincarnation.
44:52I know.
44:54She will come back.
45:14Margaret.
45:44Sorry, sir.
45:45The rain is powering. May I shelter here for a while? I'll leave as soon as it eases up.
46:15No charge. All who seek shelter are welcome guests.
46:26Sir, this scent feels strangely familiar. It lingers in my dreams.
46:32Bitter, yet warm.
47:01You seem to be waiting for someone.
47:07I am waiting for the one who owes me a dance.
47:33I am ready to forget.
47:36Will you seek me in the aged hounds, in the mortal world of Christmas time?
47:40The Holy Order's hounds have surrounded the matter. None shall leave this place alive today.
47:45The only remedy lies in a sacrifice.
47:48This time, let me gain your promise. A future without hatred.
47:54Dance this final dance with me.
48:16This latte tastes unbearably bitter.
48:31Welcome home, Margaret.
48:34We've waited for her 140 years across three centuries.
48:39This time, she is no longer a substitute.
48:42No longer a shadow. No longer a pawn.
48:45She is simply herself, Margaret.
48:48Come on, tell me.
48:50Come on, tell me.
