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