Speaker 2: with weeks ago may help him to Now you've listened

21
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: God, Jesus, what now it's a whole convoy. Oh and

22
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: the fire trucks. Should I get it? Yeah, I guess, dotties.

23
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: Who's calling?

24
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

25
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, it's Sylvie. Hold on, who is it? It's Marie?

26
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: Give me the phone. Hi. How was.

27
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

28
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: I was on my way out of town.

29
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: But what.

30
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Jesus were there? Any? My god?

31
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: What? What? What? Yeah?

32
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere. The roads are going to be blocked.

33
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: At this point, I think, Oh, okay, see you shortly.

34
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I guess, well, well, don't leave me hanging. There's been

35
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: some sort of attack on the hospital. What like? What

36
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: or vampires? I don't honestly know.

37
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: Well, all right, then we stay put, I mean, unless

38
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: we come out of attack by vampires.

39
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: Oh too soon, let's keep reading. Okay.

40
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Great wealth does not bestow meaning on a life. Oh no,

41
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: poor boy. Great wealth does not bestow means.

42
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: As I grew older, I required less in the way

43
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: of nourishment, at first, going days between feedings and then weeks.

44
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: By the time I have been what I am for

45
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: a century, so feedings were a month's apart and seemed

46
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: to stay there, s craving would calm and going between

47
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: my feelings. But largely, like everything else, I'd wrenged control

48
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: of the impulses so that I could focus on growing

49
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: my world. As my businesses spread out over the continent

50
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: and across the seas, As I accrude and consolidated powers,

51
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: reached my fingers into the spy strade thanking government, so

52
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: grew my desperation. Nothing was enough, and so my coffers

53
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: were filled. I found that the core of me, a dreadful,

54
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: yawning emptiness of was a vacuum, absorbing everything I touched,

55
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: but never feeling full. I found myself growing reckless, with

56
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: my person, walking dangerous streets late at night, starting fights

57
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: with men much larger and less stable than myself. When

58
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: I heard of the unrest in France, I told my

59
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: inferiors that I saw in it a uni week opportunity.

60
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: Many of the more savvy among the French gentry had

61
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: begun to see the winds changing, and were attempting to

62
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: liquidate and flee before the undress became violence. Even those

63
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: who were wilfully blind have begun moving their words around,

64
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: and I believed it myself when I told Elsie, my

65
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: employ that we could be the conduit through which it

66
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: had wealth flowed, our bank in England, a safe place

67
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: for which that wealth could be kept for a price,

68
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: of course. But something deeper in me just wished to

69
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: place myself in the center of that strife. That part

70
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: of me had created, the violence, something shrouded in the

71
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: shadows that even I dared not gaze upon directly. I

72
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: believe now that it was not blood lost, but a

73
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: certain longing for death, as there was little less to conquer,

74
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: and so as tensions rose to the boiling point, I

75
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: found my way into the city of Paris. Between my

76
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: business dealings, I would frequently find myself walking the filthy streets,

77
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: wearing velvet and lace, silk and finer re poudered as

78
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: any aristocrat, flaunting my velvet, ostentatiously meeting the eyes of

79
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: every lefty student and hungry ruffian, waiting for the violence

80
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: I saw great to be visited upon me.

81
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: You not die.

82
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: One occasional rock was thrown, a little blood drawn here

83
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: runs there, But whenever I found myself giving into it,

84
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: my abused recoil, recognizing my ready willingness to submit myself

85
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: to the feast and the cudgel. It was not sporting,

86
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: they saw, and so I passed largely or molested through

87
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: the streets, as others of great velve cowered behind the

88
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: vaults that would not protect them in the end. On

89
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: one such walk, I passed the tavern in one of

90
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: the poor quarters, and inside hurt the sounds of revolution.

91
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: Clearly, if the spring of popular government in time of

92
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: peace is virtue, the springs of popular government in revolution

93
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: are at once virtue and terror.

94
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: I could feel the pulse of blood in a room,

95
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: smelled it bit feverishly within all of them. I could

96
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: not help but walk towards it.

97
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: Terror is nothing else as a unjustice prompt, severe, inflexible.

98
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: It is therefore an emanation of virtue.

99
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: And it did not take long for my presence among

100
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: the revolutionaries to be noticed. Cafe two is sigur tom.

101
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: What are you doing here? Clatten, the leader asked, to

102
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: which I replied, looking for my next meal. Wha Jesias?

103
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: That seemed to do the trick. They were on me, quickly,

104
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: brutally tearing up my clothing, scratching up my face, pounting

105
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: my body with fists and feet. The pain must exquisite,

106
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: and then I felt nothing. When I woke covers on

107
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: a bed in complete darkness. It was cold, musty the

108
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: sheets I lay on with them with my sweat, and

109
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: in the dark I could sense her. Who are you?

110
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 5: I was waiting to ask you the same, how do

111
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: you feel?

112
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: I hadn't time to answer before she struck a match

113
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: to light the stop of a candle, But I saw

114
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 2: on the flash took my press.

115
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 5: Of her, Lucille, you must take me for someone else.

116
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: But the resemblance was uncanny. Of the years, I had

117
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: become worried that the memory of her face had been

118
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: corrupted by distance. But now that it stood before me again,

119
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: the suddenity came rushing back. But you, it's it's uncuiebler.

120
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: It's incredible. You look just like her, Lucille.

121
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: I assure you we have not met a coincidence.

122
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: And as she stepped closer, the spell was broken. When

123
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: my Lucille's face was full, hers was drawn. While Lucia's

124
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: eyes were soft, hers contained a sharpness, a hunger. Still

125
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: there was a resemblance. So I guess at my weights

126
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: and tried to sit up and shop and stop me,

127
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: and I collapse back. I had indeed taken quite a beating.

128
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 5: Now, no, my darling, you have healed very quickly, but

129
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 5: not yet enough to be walking around on your own

130
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: too feet.

131
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: Who are you?

132
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 5: I am a barmaid at the establishment. You entered so

133
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 5: foolishly dressed like a peagug.

134
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: Stupid mistake.

135
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 5: Do not lie to me. I saw your face as

136
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 5: you entered. You got exactly what you came to get.

137
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: How did I get here? Well?

138
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: After they beat you into a shapeless mess, I was

139
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,119
Speaker 5: tasked with clearing you from the tavern floor. It was difficult,

140
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: as you were quite dead, and the men who put

141
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: you in a position were unwilling to assist in your removal.

142
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 5: I see, and so I dragged you into the alley,

143
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 5: and as I was going through your pockets, you began

144
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 5: to breathe again. A miracle, the first of many. Are

145
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: you a magician, a saint, or something else?

146
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: The devil? I assure you I am none of these things.

147
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: I have watched your wounds, clothes. You are not a

148
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: normal man.

149
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: You are not afraid.

150
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: Why would I be afraid? You couldn't walk across this

151
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 5: floor in your condition?

152
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: And when I have finished healing.

153
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 5: Why would you hurt the one person in the whole

154
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 5: city who would help you.

155
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: And what you wish for in return for happening?

156
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 5: We'll see. Let me get you something to eat. No,

157
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 5: don't bother, you're not hungry, not yet?

158
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: The water?

159
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: No whine?

160
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: No?

161
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 5: Why are you doing an experiment?

162
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: She climbed onto the bed, pressing herself tightly against me.

163
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: I could feel the strum of her pulse through her bodies.

164
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: After such agony, this drill ran through me. Hunger, of course, hunger,

165
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: but also something else, a deep with desire, more base.

166
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: And then her face touching mine, sliding up until her

167
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: neck pressed itself against my lips.

168
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: Why are you you're trembling?

169
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: I'm not well.

170
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 5: You feel desire, I feel pain? Hm. The question is

171
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 5: do you wish to rubish me or devour me?

172
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Or is it both?

173
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: Please?

174
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: I believe I know what you are.

175
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 5: We had stories about your kind in my village to

176
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: scare children into coming home or dark, and still you

177
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: are not afraid. What's there to be afraid of? A

178
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: look around you? The world burns soon, the city will

179
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 5: go up like a powder keg. The rich and poor

180
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 5: alike would be swept up in it? Why fear the inevitable?

181
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: What is your name?

182
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 5: Sophia Jury?

183
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: Thank you for collecting me, But you should have left

184
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: me in the hardway.

185
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 5: But then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet my.

186
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: Salvation, your salvation.

187
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: I was brought here by a Russian nobleman, and then

188
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 5: he abandoned me when he lost his wealth. I've been

189
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: trapped in this wretched city ever since.

190
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: You wish to take me from here.

191
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 5: To hell wherever it is your going, consider it payment

192
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 5: for my kindnesses, and then we can discuss the matter further.

193
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 5: Do we have an agreement?

194
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: What could I do but acvious? And so two days later,

195
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: when my wounds had largely healed, we dressed ourselves in

196
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: the plain clothes of the peasants and set off from

197
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: the similar envirolence of Paris, making our a vest via

198
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: an odd courage. Sofia insists that I hide my van

199
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: as mobs of revolutionist stocks of roads outside of Paris

200
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: looking for hiding gentry, and so event under assumed names

201
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: doctor and missus Mannette, our solitary forms, runous buildings, divers,

202
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: tenaries and the like, and boarded the ferry to England.

203
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: Within days London suited Sofia were. Neither of us had

204
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: in interest in society. And so when I was not

205
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: conducting my business with with walks streets at all hours,

206
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: finding ourselves having a rich means selling the terms, seeing

207
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: all manner of art and theater, she had a voracious

208
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: hunger for knowledge, for the full experience of existence. Her

209
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: life before had been a struggle to strive. Born in

210
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: a poor village, not unlike my own, she had managed

211
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: to find work, first as a scullery maid in the

212
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: nobles house, and then, through machinations that she would not share,

213
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: out of some secret chain, she had managed her way

214
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: into working in the ladies chambers, using her charm to

215
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: soon become the darling. And so she began to see

216
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: the world from that narrow advantage. And when the family

217
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: found themselves in exile from their own country, she traveled

218
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: with them to Paris, where they fell upon hard times.

219
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: Her life had made her a quick study of language skill,

220
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: but most importantly of people. She could ingratiate herself to

221
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: the most solitary of people that she traveled with me

222
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: alone as many decades as testaments are sad, and despite

223
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: myself my heart so long hardened by such solitude, and

224
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: my station began to soften.

225
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: The mariner, whose eye is bright, whose beard with age

226
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 6: is whore, is gone. And now the wedding guest turned

227
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 6: from the bridegroom's door. He went like one that hath

228
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 6: been stunned, and is of sense Forlorn, a sadder and

229
00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 6: wiser man.

230
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: He rose the morrow morn bravocorac, as marvelous now as

231
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 2: when it was first written.

232
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 6: I thank you, Havoc. It means much, coming from one

233
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 6: who is best known for his fleet.

234
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: A question, Yes, missus Havoc.

235
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 5: It is a problem of imagery. Do go on, madam,

236
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 5: day after day, day after day? We stuck nor breath

237
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 5: nor motion, as idle as a sculpture upon a marble ocean.

238
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 6: I'm impressed that you've memorized the passage.

239
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 5: Isn't a marble sculpture? Heavy?

240
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: But that is the point.

241
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: It's immovable, Yes, yes, yes, but it brings to mind

242
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: a stone that would sink. Would their imagery captured the

243
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 5: stillness without all the weight, perhaps as idle as a

244
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: painted ship upon a painted ocean. You see the repetition

245
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 5: of the world even mirrors the exhaustion of the sameness

246
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: of the days within the dolbrooms.

247
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: Hmmm.

248
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 6: I must offer my condolences, Havoc.

249
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: And why is that it seems as though you've married

250
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: a poet. Through Sofia's eyes, I saw the world and

251
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: knew as a single wander to be safered. I saw

252
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: humanity as something strange and lovely. I felt was the

253
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: first time since clawing myself out of the grave, something

254
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: approaching joy. She was giving me life in the ways

255
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: that pumping blood had not, and I was entirely unprepared

256
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: for what came next. I had a message. When I failed,

257
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: I would dress well, even extravagantly in leaning on lace

258
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: and very wet, and then make my way to the

259
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: hunting ground. It would begin in a busy place, a tavern,

260
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: a theater, a night market, such as the one I

261
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: found myself trolling on this night. You find someone with

262
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: the sharp eyes, someone who is watching the crowd as

263
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: intently as you, someone who is looking for something, a weakness,

264
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: a chink in the armor, something to exploit and then

265
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 2: become that weakness. Hmm. I could feel when the hungry

266
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: eyes fell on Ah, they sink, look at this tasty

267
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: fruit ready to pluck. And then I would do everything

268
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: my power to ignore my prayer as they stalked me about,

269
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: flashing my purse, working towards the edge of the crowd,

270
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: and then I would make my break from it, wandering

271
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: down the quiet side streets and waiting for my prayer

272
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 2: to catch up. This is night was not different until

273
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: you you are following me. What do you want? Why?

274
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 7: Nothing at all, my lord, just out for a night's straw.

275
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 7: When I saw you taking the dangerous path away from

276
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 7: the market.

277
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 2: Then you're here to to protect me? Not at all,

278
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: my lord? Do you wish me harm?

279
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 7: I wish for your ring, sir, and your purse and

280
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 7: those fancy boots.

281
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: Oh and if I do not give them over, I've

282
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: been known to cut the rings off if they're not

283
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: freely giving as you raise.

284
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: It's really not as violent as I thought, Sophia. You

285
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 5: really are quite strong. You managed to overpower them so quickly.

286
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: It's over in a flash.

287
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: What are you doing here? Why are you?

288
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 5: I just I wanted to see with my own eyes

289
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 5: how you feed yourself. It's dangerous here, you know, not

290
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 5: for you tell me, darling, how badly does it hurt?

291
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: I'd imagine the penny's intense, but very brief, the broad

292
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: loss the experience causes people to lose consciousness.

293
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 5: Darling, don't be foolish, son, What do you mean? I

294
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 5: knew you wouldn't allow me to watch you, so I

295
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: followed you in secret.

296
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

297
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: I did not mean to betray your trust, but I

298
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: needed to know if I could stomach it watching you eat,

299
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 5: And having watched it now closely, I can say without

300
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 5: a doubt, it is the most natural thing in the world.

301
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 5: So I ask you again, how badly does it hurt

302
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 5: to be turned?

303
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: I do not know. I don't remember how it happened

304
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: to me. Have you turned others only once? If I

305
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: know of, And I was not happy about it, just

306
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 2: dazed and hungry and living like a rat.

307
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 5: But you would care for me, wouldn't you, no matter

308
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 5: how difficult, no matter how it went, how what my love.

309
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 5: I wished to remain by your side. I wish to

310
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 5: experience what you experience.

311
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: No, I have spent my life serving.

312
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 5: I do not want to be your pets, upplating something

313
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 5: for you to wear on your arm and flay whether

314
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 5: and I I will not serve. I wish to rain

315
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 5: jury beside you. If you love me, if you truly

316
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 5: love me, you would wish this for.

317
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 2: Me as well?

318
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 5: Do you do you love me?

319
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: And so the matter was decided.

320
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 5: When no time like the present.

321
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: Here on a dirty side street of the poor coatural

322
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: of the town.

323
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 5: I was born in such a quarter. We met in

324
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 5: such a quarter. It is fitting. Besides, I do not

325
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 5: care to wait any longer as you wish.

326
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: So I am not entirely sure. Heart's done. I usual

327
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: drink until the subject is dead. The times that I

328
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: didn't led me to believe that it was the disease

329
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: of the blood. I suppose. I just I'll give you

330
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: some of mine.

331
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 5: Here your victim had a knife to run, Give me

332
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 5: your hand.

333
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: What do you plan.

334
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 5: Don't be a baby, darling. Now let me drink.

335
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: And so she raised my hand to her lips and

336
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: drank greedily.

337
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 5: Now what, No, I don't know.

338
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: Now we wait, tell me do you feel anything?

339
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 5: I don't.

340
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: Of course, nothing happens that evening. It was the next day.

341
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 2: That's the first symptoms showed themselves. First a mark of

342
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: her nose ran, then a fever, and I said, it's

343
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: a rage, bringing sons, blood and sweat. Pouring from her.

344
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: She rented and raved through the day in the night,

345
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: and on the fifth day she died. I began to

346
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: doubt myself at that point, if I'm being honest, began

347
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: to doubt that I even could turn her. And that

348
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: doubt grew into a rising panic as the hours passed

349
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: and I stood witchual over her corpse, but said, of course, Sophia.

350
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: Hello, darling, I'm thirsty.

351
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: I had considered this possibility. Come in, Ah, is this here?

352
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: It is? And I can just have my way with her.

353
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: You can try, Sophia. This is Morrison. He is a

354
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: sailor in my employer. I ran into him by the

355
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: docks at the cat house.

356
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 5: Oh mm hmmm.

357
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: He has violent proclivities, does he? Ah?

358
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 5: Miss, No, no touch me down there anymore.

359
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: They're too afraid.

360
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 5: But mister Hannaky says, you quite enjoy your little violence.

361
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: Does he come closer, Morrison?

362
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: Ah, you're quite.

363
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 5: The vision mission, so I've been talked.

364
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Help me, are you? The violence with which she failed

365
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: was terrifying or inspired, so unlike my first time, she

366
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: latched onto some man, wrapped her arms and legs about him.

367
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 2: Her sharp ite had found it joculars, so easily, and

368
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: now she clung to him as he thrashed and kicked

369
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: and finally surrendered to his final journey. Ah hmmm, so.

370
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 6: More.

371
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: I think I knew even in that moment that we

372
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: would have to live well ordered London, because the early

373
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: times are ravenous. And Sophia proved me right. Over the

374
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: coming days, two three songs a night, and still she thusted.

375
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: It was dizzy, and within a few days began to

376
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: draw attention in the press. The seaf evening of her

377
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: new existence. I began making our plans to move west

378
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: into the wiles of the Americas, those lawless lens, a

379
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: land borne of violence could easily bear a burton of

380
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: her thirst. Can do cassa?

381
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: Jesus, what was that? Sounds like someone threw a brick

382
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: through the window.

383
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: Sort of a bitch, I'm gonna go check it out.

384
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: Shit, Sylvie, Wait, Sylvie. And then Jury Havoc himself stood

385
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: in the center of my bar, his eyes burning. He

386
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: was not happy.

387
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: You have something of mine.

388
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: You listen here, asshole. We know what you are, and

389
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: you can Sylvie. You can have your book. Okay, just

390
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: get out of here.

391
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm afraid we'll well pass that point.

392
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Now stay away from her.

393
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: Quiet. I tried to be your friend. I won't for

394
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: you to remember that. I came to you in this

395
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: spirit of friendship, and it was your mistrust that brought

396
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: us to this rather sad point. Oh, it's something funny.

397
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: There was never any chance of friendship. You are a monster.

398
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: Stay back, you're moving behind the bar? Is it back there?

399
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: What the Bible? The steak Bible won't work on me.

400
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: I've read it too thoroughly to be impressed. Stopping story

401
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: poorly told, and frankly, I don't think you're strong enough

402
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: to get the steak into my heart.

403
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: So I disagree. I've done it before.

404
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Really I've misjudged you. Then stop, I'm not going to

405
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: give you the opportunity. Why why what?

406
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Why did you come back here to finish what you started?

407
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: And what did I start.

408
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: The destruction of the town?

409
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: Why would I destroy this town?

410
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: I what what use would it be?

411
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: Why would I draw this sort of attention to myself?

412
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 6: Well?

413
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: Why did you start this outbreak?

414
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: Why would I do that?

415
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: It's where Sophia died, where she.

416
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: Was murdered by your grandfather.

417
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: By the way she was killing people.

418
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: I didn't come here to infect the town.

419
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: Then why why are you here.

420
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: To draw her out? Who finally her?

421
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Get away from her Havoc, Mari, get out of here.

422
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: Run I was wondering, when you'd finally show your face.

423
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: What what are you talking about?

424
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: Travesty after travesty, befalling my business, the fires at the shipyards,

425
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: the factories, trains derailed, all the while the authorities eye

426
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: me as if I was causing all of it. It

427
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: took me a long time to figure out that there

428
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: was a mind behind it, and even longer to figure

429
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: out who was causing all the pandemonium.

430
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: And here you are, Marie, What the hell is he

431
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: talking about?

432
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: Corier? Come now, it's not every day that you get

433
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: to meet face to face with your ancestors. Well, don't

434
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: leave her in the dark, you monster. Say hello to

435
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720
