00:01Your stance is pathetic!
00:03Did you seduce someone to pass the trials?
00:10Commander Thorn, a new asset.
00:19I don't train mutts.
00:21Good, because I don't take orders from lapdogs.
00:23My mother was a saint.
00:24My father...
00:25Well, he ate saints for breakfast.
00:27Abomination! What are you?!
00:30I'm the apex predator, Commander.
00:32Best remember that.
00:35Careful, Commander.
00:36I bite back.
00:44Smells like a liar in there.
00:52A noble's hand holds a wine glass.
00:55A sterling's hand signs decrees.
00:57Mine is a weapon.
01:01I am not Valeria.
01:03I am Rook.
01:07They're breaching the perimeter.
01:09Wake the zealot!
01:14Mutiny?
01:14Massacre!
01:27Massacre!
01:31Rooka!
01:53Kaios!
01:55Did you miss me, little bird?
01:59Mine...
02:00I keep what I kill.
02:03I keep what I kill.
02:04You are mine.
02:06I belong to no one.
02:07Back off, monster.
02:09Touch me again, and I slit it.
02:13Fierce.
02:14I like that.
02:15Fierce.
02:19Fierce.
02:20Fierce.
02:22Fierce.
02:33Fierce.
02:35Fierce.
02:35Fierce.
02:37Fierce.
02:38Fierce.
02:51Fierce.
02:52As you command, Ponaf.
02:59Listen to me.
03:01If either of you show an ounce of weakness out there, I won't wait for the demons.
03:07I'll execute you myself.
03:10The Seraphis Synticate is rising.
03:12They're slaughtering Inquisition outposts.
03:16Why wasn't High Command notified?
03:19The Pontran knows. He sent you here to die.
03:27Drink. Act like filthy salesmen, or we're dead.
03:43Put me down, you stiff-necked bastard!
03:48Shut your mouth before I wire it shut.
03:50Father, think your daughter is just property.
03:54A pawn to be declared dead.
03:57I'll be back. Take your crown, and bury you with it.
04:15Well, well.
04:16You seek the Seraphis Synthicate's flank, I give you the map.
04:20But a trade requires blood, or truth, Commander Thorn.
04:25Speak your price.
04:27The bastard Prince of the Abyss. Fascinating.
04:31And you? You are the greatest illusion of all.
04:34The Ponti is digging into your past, Rook.
04:36He finds it fascinating how much he resembles the late Lord Sterling's dead daughter.
04:39You're delusional, old man.
04:40Lord Sterling is a cruel man.
04:42If he knew his precious runaway pole was playing soldier in the mud,
04:44he'd burn this order to the ground to drag you back by your hair.
04:47We have what we need.
04:52Move. Now.
05:07Demon! He's a demon!
05:10Put up. Now.
05:16Skin the freak!
05:23Let me slaughter them, Commander.
05:25Keep your teeth shut!
05:31First man who moves loses his hands!
05:34By edict of the High Inquisition,
05:36this creature is property of the Holy Order.
05:39Interfere and I will declare this entire block a zone of heresy and burn it to the ash!
05:49You are a liability.
05:51You won't be after little B-Axert!
05:55You won't be after little B-Axert!
06:20You won't be after little B-Axert!
06:21Scream for help, Princess!
06:23No!
06:24No!
06:27No!
06:37Your worst nightmare.
06:47I didn't feel it.
06:49It bypassed my blood ward.
06:51Whatever sent this, it knows exactly how to kill us.
06:56We leave.
06:58Now.
06:59Before more come.
07:10Lord Stirling requests Commander Thorn's presence at the High Keep for a banquet.
07:13He specifically wishes to meet your newly acclaimed prodigy, Rook.
07:16Rook.
07:19We attend tonight.
07:21Get yourself presentable.
07:24Break my nose.
07:26Disfigure my face.
07:27Do it now!
07:29I ruin beautiful things for pleasure, darling.
07:32Not on command.
07:33Find another way.
07:47No!
07:50No!
07:55Are you insane?
08:07Clean the blood off.
08:10You have an audience with the Lord.
08:20She's dead.
08:25The Lord just received word.
08:27His runaway daughter, Valeria, is dead.
08:32Butched by the Seraphis Syndicate.
08:35Why do you care?
08:36It was just a political alliance.
08:38I saw her once, years ago.
08:39In that court of snakes and shadows.
08:42She was the only light.
08:43We march west.
08:44We aren't just purging demons.
08:45We are going to slaughter every single member of the Seraphis Syndicate to avenge my bride.
08:50We are going to slaughter every single member of the Seraphis Syndicate to avenge my bride.
09:17Take it and leave.
09:20You're paying for my time, little knight.
09:23Not my absence.
09:28God's above.
09:30You're a woman.
09:31In Thorn's squad, this is worth a lordship.
09:50She screams again.
09:53And I'll cut her tongue out.
09:55Secrets are currency, darling.
09:57But some secrets get you buried.
10:01I'll say nothing.
10:02I swear it.
10:04I know.
10:13So, the little rook is a queen.
10:17You're a queen.
10:20Show me.
10:26My name is Valeria.
10:28Lord Sterling's dead daughter.
10:31You lied to me.
10:32I survived!
10:33Like you.
10:34We're the same Caius.
10:35Monsters in pretty costumes.
10:37This is your mask.
10:38My lie was mine.
10:48You are nothing like me.
10:53You are far more interesting.
10:57What is this rot between you two?
11:01You'll fight.
11:02No weapons until one of you can't stand.
11:06No!
11:22You want to protect me?
11:25Or own me?
11:26Does it matter?
11:28Treat me as your equal!
11:32I can't.
11:34You're not.
11:39Having trouble, rook?
11:41He's gonna snap you in half.
11:43Careful.
11:45He's starting to enjoy watching you lose.
11:58To mourn the death of the boy you were.
12:07They come from the mountain every night.
12:10The Pontritz men.
12:11They just bolt the doors.
12:13Where are the Seraphis?
12:14They're the only ones who fight.
12:16The Inquisition here are cowards.
12:18Three of them.
12:19They barricade themselves in the church and pray while the rest of us get slaughtered.
12:24Erskine.
12:25This is Donnelly.
12:26We're with the Seraphium.
12:28We heard a real soldier was coming.
12:30Baron Franton sends his regards.
12:34They're here.
12:36The Inquisition is a lost cause.
12:38We don't wait for the city to scream.
12:40We cut the head off the snake.
12:43We meet them here, make a bottle head, and burn them all.
13:04My kill.
13:06Too slow.
13:10What is it about me they want?
13:12maybe they smell a traitor I don't need a bodyguard
13:47come see what a real army looks like commander propuping to treat it
14:07isn't there another way in this war you lose a limb
14:12or you lose your life there is no other way
14:19now hold him down
14:25we are not the Pontius lapdogs we are not lapdogs we do not hide behind walls we
14:32are the shield of the people you're training a mob I'm forging in an army
14:42we have the same enemy thorn our Pontus is a liar and our Baron is a leader tell your
14:49master what you have seen
15:01Caius
15:15Caius fight it it's me
15:24you
15:29you
15:31you
15:40I don't know.
16:07I...
16:08Almost.
16:11But you didn't.
16:13You stopped.
16:14The Pantreth.
16:16Silas.
16:16He uses the band.
16:17He can see through my eyes, hear through my ears.
16:20He can make me kill.
16:21What in the seven hells are you two?
16:23I have to leave.
16:24I'll have Asa cut off the arm.
16:26Remove the taint entirely.
16:27It's the only way to keep you safe.
16:29No.
16:30You run, you die.
16:31I don't trust the brand.
16:32I don't trust the beast.
16:33I trust the man who fought it.
16:35This is your walk, Caius.
16:37Are you a man or are you Silas' puppet?
16:39Prove it.
16:40Fight me.
16:40For real.
16:41You win, you walk.
16:42I win, you stay.
16:57Your funeral.
17:06Fight him, Caius!
17:07Don't let the old man win!
17:27You win.
17:30Get up.
17:33The war isn't over.
17:35The war isn't over.
17:53Welcome back.
17:54Let's finish this.
17:56Let's finish this.
18:13Don't look down, Rook!
18:15I'm not scared of a little height, Commander!
18:17Commander!
18:51No. It's a lie. He wouldn't.
18:54This is a mistake.
18:55An order is an order. Then we play their game better. Valeria will become the lure.
19:01She will shed the skin of Rook and become a noble lady once more, a damsel in distress to draw
19:06the Baron away from his guards.
19:08He'll recognize me.
19:09No, he won't. Because you won't be Valeria. You will be Bate. And Bate doesn't have a name.
19:25Perfect. Now, go break a hero's heart.
19:44To Commander Thorn, a man of honor serving a Pantit who has none.
19:50To the Pantit.
19:51Your Pantit is a cancer. He hoards knowledge while the people perish.
19:55The demons are evolving, Thorn. They are being led. I am on the verge of discovering their master.
20:04My lord! A lady in the guest wing! She claims a demon is trying to break into her room!
20:09An excellent opportunity, Baron. Let us see how the famed Seraphis handle a single, terrified demon.
20:24What is the matter? Valeria, what is the matter?
20:31Easy, my lady. You're safe now.
20:50A poor welcome, Commander!
20:52My apologies, Baron. My orders are absolute.
21:08I will not make you a traitor to your order, Thorn. Even if it is to save you from it.
21:28Going somewhere, Commander? Valeria, move.
21:43You cannot change what has happened, Thorn.
21:45Release him, Thorn. This is your only warning. I follow my orders. Then you will die following them.
21:52Stand down, Erskine! That is a direct order! Let them pass!
22:02He's a good man, your commander. A pity he is so blind.
22:08He still doesn't know who you really are, does he, little Rook?
22:11Or should I say...
22:13Lady Valeria Sterling.
22:19Valeria?
22:25Liars! I betrayed my oath for a lie! I fight a war for a ghost!
22:30And you, you watched me. You let me play the fool!
22:38Was it amusing, Rook? Was my honor a good joke?!
22:42A true god does not demand blind obedience, Commander.
22:47Only a tyrant does. Which does your pontman resemble?
22:59Thorn.
23:00Thorn.
23:00Snap out of it! What is this place?!
23:02Thorn.
23:03The Abatora.
23:05Thorn.
23:07Where my faith was born.
23:11A demon raid hit this village. They butchered every villager.
23:16Tore my family apart.
23:18I was a boy. I hid beneath a floorboard, listening.
23:25And where was the Inquisition's righteous fire that night, Thorn?
23:28Where was your pontus while your family screamed?
23:32Your order didn't save you. They left you to rot.
23:55I'm coming for you!
24:03Not today!
24:09Thorn, you fool! Kill it! That is not your sister! It's a parasite wearing her skin!
24:15Mylia...
24:18Useless zealot!
24:22Kill it!
24:45Kill it!
24:48Kill it!
24:48Kill it!
24:50Kill it!
24:51Kill it!
24:54Kill it!
24:54I will not serve a lyre, but I cannot join you. My atonement is my own. Redemption is a lonely
25:00road, Commander.
25:04You just released the Inquisition's most wanted man. Simus will have you executed.
25:14Let him try.
25:24By the Pontart's judgment, Commander Thorn is excommunicated. Declared heretic traitor to be killed on sight. He has one week
25:30to deliver Franston. His assets Rook and Chaos will be executed as accomplices if they do not abandon him.
25:34Go. Save yourselves.
25:36No. You're a mad dog, Thorn, but you're our mad dog. We don't leave our own to be put down.
25:42Besides, I have always wanted to kill an Inquisitor.
25:48Then we go to the Diamond Coast. It's time to pop an answer for his sins.
26:10Kain! The Ponton sends his regards. He commanded us to deliver your head in a box.
26:17You'll have to take it from me, little brother.
26:24I'll enjoy breaking you, little boy.
26:29Roargh!
26:31Roargh!
26:32Roargh!
26:34Roargh!
26:34Roargh!
26:35Roargh!
26:42Roargh!
26:46Roargh!
26:47Roargh!
26:53Traitor, die, brother!
26:57You picked the wrong target.
27:02This is for everything you took from me!
27:04No!
27:11I am simply removing the distraction.
27:14attraction.
27:40Forgive me, my blind fanatism.
27:42I failed to protect you.
27:45My name is Rook.
27:47And I chose this.
27:49I am not your redemption.
28:10This alliance is treason, Sterling.
28:12The Pontic will burn your lands to the ground.
28:15Heywood is already Ash.
28:17I'm here to salt the earth where my enemy stands.
28:39I never taught you how to be a daughter.
28:40And I never learned.
28:41But I learned how to be a ruler.
28:43Your flank is exposed.
28:45Give me the command.
28:46Or we all die.
28:50It's not a war.
28:52It's a harvest.
28:55In three months, on the night of the Crimson Eclipse, Symus will perform a ritual.
29:00He will sacrifice every living soul in the kingdom to fuel his ascension into godhood.
29:20Who are you?
29:21He forged our bloodline as a chalice for his power.
29:25We are born to be devoured.
29:30I know your blood.
29:32Sylas created your royal line to be living batteries.
29:34Each generation, he harvests the strongest.
29:36You.
29:36You are the culmination.
29:37The perfect your power for his ascension.
29:39To break the brank is a siphon.
29:40You cannot kill the parasite.
29:42You must become the host.
29:43Claim the source of his power.
29:44The primordial fire seed.
30:00My lady, the gate is failing.
30:02The Pontist is on the field.
30:04Rain hell on that bastard!
30:06Archers!
30:37And who's the lead you are, may be Heav roared?
30:46He's hurt!
30:50Too often not, you've touched!
30:51One city's famous.デュ
30:51vazgeiks! Fill the
30:58Impossible! You have bonded with the Fire Seed!
31:02Silas, I've come to collect your debt.
31:20Did you miss me?
31:26Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
31:45Welcome back.
31:51Let's burn them all.
31:57look at my fallen lap bad betraying your god for a monster and a whore
32:03you were never my god and today i am your judge
32:12he's consolidating his power caius needs time i'll buy it
32:28i failed you once i will not fail again
33:05you will not touch him
33:10let it all burn i will build my throne upon the skull of this world
33:17you will have no world to rule
33:32you will have no way
33:59I cannot lead a broken realm.
34:02It is yours now, my fierce daughter.
34:05Hold it with an iron grip.
34:08A woman cannot inherit the Dutch deep.
34:10Haywood needs a strong hand,
34:12not a grieving girl who only won a war
34:14hiding on a man's coattails.
34:18My rule begins with culling trash.
34:21Does anyone else have an opinion on tradition?
34:25The old age is over.
34:26Obey or die.
34:28Your Grace, a rider from the east.
34:30The demon plague from the Pontart's magic
34:32wasn't just a dying curse,
34:34it's a living contagion,
34:35and it is spreading rapidly
34:36through our eastern water supply.
35:01You will become Caius' ghost.
35:05You will seduce her,
35:06break her mind,
35:08and make her a puppet.
35:10Her throne will be mine.
35:15She is emotionally vulnerable.
35:17She lives for a ghost.
35:19We will give her one,
35:21and she will cling to it
35:22like a drowning woman.
35:24Once she is seen fanning over a pretty boy,
35:27her iron grip will inevitably rust.
35:29We will make her beast.
36:07Two names?
36:10Love dead power.
36:30Your grace.
36:37You are a very good actor.
36:40But you are mimicking a god of fire.
36:45And I am the only one who ever walked through his flames without getting burned.
36:50My spies tell me you spent three weeks hiding in Lord Bromlin's estate before joining the Guard.
36:54Tell me, Leanne, who sent you?
36:56It was Bromlin. Lord Bromlin sent me. He planned everything. The dagger, the sparring, all of it. Please your grace,
37:00mercy.
37:01Take this. The performance isn't over. You will help me set the final stage.
37:17You played your part exceptionally well. Now, take your gold and run before they kill you too.
37:32To the new age.
37:36Does anyone else have an opinion on my reign?
37:45To be continued in.
37:45To be continued in.

41:15It took my demonic power, my scales and my shadows
41:19It made me a mere mortal
41:22But it couldn't take you
41:29I had to see if your heart won peace held
41:35I had to be absolutely sure I wouldn't be just another monster for you to fight
41:45Valea Stirling, Queen of Hayward

42:40Bored yet, little bird?
42:43I fought a brutal war for this boredom.
42:45I fought a brutal war for this boredom.
43:09Your Grace, Ranger Thorn sends urgent word from the border.
43:15The waterborne demon plague, it has mutated.
43:18It has mutated.
43:18It has mutated.
43:18A beautiful heart.
43:19Ooh.
43:19I love you.
