<v Speaker 2>how that has anything. I'll tell you your neck connect with

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Bill Johnson, A single percentage point could swing it to him.

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd imagine a massive influx of cash into his campaign

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Jery Havock. But I can assure you that no, no, dammit, poraen.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>God, Jesus, what now it's a whole convoy. Oh and

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the fire trucks. Should I get it? Yeah, I guess, dotties.

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 4>Who's calling?

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hey, it's Sylvie. Hold on, who is it? It's Marie?

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Give me the phone. Hi. How was.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I was on my way out of town.

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>But what.

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Jesus were there? Any? My god?

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>What? What? What? Yeah?

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going anywhere. The roads are going to be blocked.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>At this point, I think, Oh, okay, see you shortly.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess, well, well, don't leave me hanging. There's been

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>some sort of attack on the hospital. What like? What

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 1>or vampires? I don't honestly know.

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, all right, then we stay put, I mean, unless

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 3>we come out of attack by vampires.

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh too soon, let's keep reading. Okay.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Great wealth does not bestow meaning on a life. Oh no,

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>poor boy. Great wealth does not bestow means.

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>As I grew older, I required less in the way

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>of nourishment, at first, going days between feedings and then weeks.

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>By the time I have been what I am for

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>a century, so feedings were a month's apart and seemed

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 2>to stay there, s craving would calm and going between

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>my feelings. But largely, like everything else, I'd wrenged control

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>of the impulses so that I could focus on growing

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 2>my world. As my businesses spread out over the continent

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>and across the seas, As I accrude and consolidated powers,

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>reached my fingers into the spy strade thanking government, so

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>grew my desperation. Nothing was enough, and so my coffers

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>were filled. I found that the core of me, a dreadful,

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>yawning emptiness of was a vacuum, absorbing everything I touched,

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 2>but never feeling full. I found myself growing reckless, with

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 2>my person, walking dangerous streets late at night, starting fights

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 2>with men much larger and less stable than myself. When

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I heard of the unrest in France, I told my

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>inferiors that I saw in it a uni week opportunity.

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Many of the more savvy among the French gentry had

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>begun to see the winds changing, and were attempting to

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 2>liquidate and flee before the undress became violence. Even those

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>who were wilfully blind have begun moving their words around,

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>and I believed it myself when I told Elsie, my

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 2>employ that we could be the conduit through which it

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 2>had wealth flowed, our bank in England, a safe place

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>for which that wealth could be kept for a price,

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 2>of course. But something deeper in me just wished to

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>place myself in the center of that strife. That part

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 2>of me had created, the violence, something shrouded in the

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>shadows that even I dared not gaze upon directly. I

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>believe now that it was not blood lost, but a

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 2>certain longing for death, as there was little less to conquer,

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and so as tensions rose to the boiling point, I

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 2>found my way into the city of Paris. Between my

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 2>business dealings, I would frequently find myself walking the filthy streets,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 2>wearing velvet and lace, silk and finer re poudered as

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 2>any aristocrat, flaunting my velvet, ostentatiously meeting the eyes of

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>every lefty student and hungry ruffian, waiting for the violence

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 2>I saw great to be visited upon me.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>You not die.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>One occasional rock was thrown, a little blood drawn here

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 2>runs there, But whenever I found myself giving into it,

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 2>my abused recoil, recognizing my ready willingness to submit myself

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>to the feast and the cudgel. It was not sporting,

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>they saw, and so I passed largely or molested through

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the streets, as others of great velve cowered behind the

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>vaults that would not protect them in the end. On

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>one such walk, I passed the tavern in one of

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the poor quarters, and inside hurt the sounds of revolution.

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 4>Clearly, if the spring of popular government in time of

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 4>peace is virtue, the springs of popular government in revolution

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 4>are at once virtue and terror.

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I could feel the pulse of blood in a room,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 2>smelled it bit feverishly within all of them. I could

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>not help but walk towards it.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 4>Terror is nothing else as a unjustice prompt, severe, inflexible.

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 4>It is therefore an emanation of virtue.

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>And it did not take long for my presence among

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the revolutionaries to be noticed. Cafe two is sigur tom.

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing here? Clatten, the leader asked, to

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 2>which I replied, looking for my next meal. Wha Jesias?

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 2>That seemed to do the trick. They were on me, quickly,

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>brutally tearing up my clothing, scratching up my face, pounting

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 2>my body with fists and feet. The pain must exquisite,

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and then I felt nothing. When I woke covers on

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>a bed in complete darkness. It was cold, musty the

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>sheets I lay on with them with my sweat, and

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>in the dark I could sense her. Who are you?

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 5>I was waiting to ask you the same, how do

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 5>you feel?

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't time to answer before she struck a match

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>to light the stop of a candle, But I saw

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 2>on the flash took my press.

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 5>Of her, Lucille, you must take me for someone else.

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 2>But the resemblance was uncanny. Of the years, I had

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 2>become worried that the memory of her face had been

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>corrupted by distance. But now that it stood before me again,

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 2>the suddenity came rushing back. But you, it's it's uncuiebler.

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible. You look just like her, Lucille.

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 5>I assure you we have not met a coincidence.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>And as she stepped closer, the spell was broken. When

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 2>my Lucille's face was full, hers was drawn. While Lucia's

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>eyes were soft, hers contained a sharpness, a hunger. Still

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 2>there was a resemblance. So I guess at my weights

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and tried to sit up and shop and stop me,

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and I collapse back. I had indeed taken quite a beating.

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 5>Now, no, my darling, you have healed very quickly, but

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.719
<v Speaker 5>not yet enough to be walking around on your own

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 5>too feet.

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Who are you?

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 5>I am a barmaid at the establishment. You entered so

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 5>foolishly dressed like a peagug.

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Stupid mistake.

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 5>Do not lie to me. I saw your face as

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 5>you entered. You got exactly what you came to get.

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>How did I get here? Well?

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 5>After they beat you into a shapeless mess, I was

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:43.119
<v Speaker 5>tasked with clearing you from the tavern floor. It was difficult,

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 5>as you were quite dead, and the men who put

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 5>you in a position were unwilling to assist in your removal.

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 5>I see, and so I dragged you into the alley,

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 5>and as I was going through your pockets, you began

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 5>to breathe again. A miracle, the first of many. Are

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 5>you a magician, a saint, or something else?

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 2>The devil? I assure you I am none of these things.

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 5>I have watched your wounds, clothes. You are not a

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 5>normal man.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>You are not afraid.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 5>Why would I be afraid? You couldn't walk across this

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 5>floor in your condition?

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 2>And when I have finished healing.

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 5>Why would you hurt the one person in the whole

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 5>city who would help you.

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 2>And what you wish for in return for happening?

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 5>We'll see. Let me get you something to eat. No,

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 5>don't bother, you're not hungry, not yet?

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>The water?

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 1>No whine?

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 5>Why are you doing an experiment?

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 2>She climbed onto the bed, pressing herself tightly against me.

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I could feel the strum of her pulse through her bodies.

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:19.319
<v Speaker 2>After such agony, this drill ran through me. Hunger, of course, hunger,

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 2>but also something else, a deep with desire, more base.

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>And then her face touching mine, sliding up until her

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 2>neck pressed itself against my lips.

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 5>Why are you you're trembling?

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not well.

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 5>You feel desire, I feel pain? Hm. The question is

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 5>do you wish to rubish me or devour me?

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Or is it both?

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Please?

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I believe I know what you are.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 5>We had stories about your kind in my village to

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 5>scare children into coming home or dark, and still you

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 5>are not afraid. What's there to be afraid of? A

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 5>look around you? The world burns soon, the city will

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 5>go up like a powder keg. The rich and poor

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 5>alike would be swept up in it? Why fear the inevitable?

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>What is your name?

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Sophia Jury?

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for collecting me, But you should have left

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>me in the hardway.

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.079
<v Speaker 5>But then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet my.

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Salvation, your salvation.

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 5>I was brought here by a Russian nobleman, and then

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 5>he abandoned me when he lost his wealth. I've been

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 5>trapped in this wretched city ever since.

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>You wish to take me from here.

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 5>To hell wherever it is your going, consider it payment

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 5>for my kindnesses, and then we can discuss the matter further.

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 5>Do we have an agreement?

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 2>What could I do but acvious? And so two days later,

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 2>when my wounds had largely healed, we dressed ourselves in

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the plain clothes of the peasants and set off from

0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the similar envirolence of Paris, making our a vest via

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>an odd courage. Sofia insists that I hide my van

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>as mobs of revolutionist stocks of roads outside of Paris

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 2>looking for hiding gentry, and so event under assumed names

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>doctor and missus Mannette, our solitary forms, runous buildings, divers,

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>tenaries and the like, and boarded the ferry to England.

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Within days London suited Sofia were. Neither of us had

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 2>in interest in society. And so when I was not

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 2>conducting my business with with walks streets at all hours,

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 2>finding ourselves having a rich means selling the terms, seeing

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 2>all manner of art and theater, she had a voracious

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 2>hunger for knowledge, for the full experience of existence. Her

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 2>life before had been a struggle to strive. Born in

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 2>a poor village, not unlike my own, she had managed

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>to find work, first as a scullery maid in the

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 2>nobles house, and then, through machinations that she would not share,

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 2>out of some secret chain, she had managed her way

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 2>into working in the ladies chambers, using her charm to

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>soon become the darling. And so she began to see

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>the world from that narrow advantage. And when the family

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>found themselves in exile from their own country, she traveled

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 2>with them to Paris, where they fell upon hard times.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Her life had made her a quick study of language skill,

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 2>but most importantly of people. She could ingratiate herself to

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the most solitary of people that she traveled with me

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>alone as many decades as testaments are sad, and despite

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 2>myself my heart so long hardened by such solitude, and

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>my station began to soften.

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 6>The mariner, whose eye is bright, whose beard with age

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 6>is whore, is gone. And now the wedding guest turned

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 6>from the bridegroom's door. He went like one that hath

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 6>been stunned, and is of sense Forlorn, a sadder and

0:16:59.200 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 6>wiser man.

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>He rose the morrow morn bravocorac, as marvelous now as

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 2>when it was first written.

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 6>I thank you, Havoc. It means much, coming from one

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.159
<v Speaker 6>who is best known for his fleet.

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 2>A question, Yes, missus Havoc.

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 5>It is a problem of imagery. Do go on, madam,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:33.919
<v Speaker 5>day after day, day after day? We stuck nor breath

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 5>nor motion, as idle as a sculpture upon a marble ocean.

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 6>I'm impressed that you've memorized the passage.

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 5>Isn't a marble sculpture? Heavy?

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>But that is the point.

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 5>It's immovable, Yes, yes, yes, but it brings to mind

0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 5>a stone that would sink. Would their imagery captured the

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 5>stillness without all the weight, perhaps as idle as a

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 5>painted ship upon a painted ocean. You see the repetition

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 5>of the world even mirrors the exhaustion of the sameness

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 5>of the days within the dolbrooms.

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Hmmm.

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 6>I must offer my condolences, Havoc.

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 2>And why is that it seems as though you've married

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 2>a poet. Through Sofia's eyes, I saw the world and

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.200
<v Speaker 2>knew as a single wander to be safered. I saw

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:54.919
<v Speaker 2>humanity as something strange and lovely. I felt was the

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.880
<v Speaker 2>first time since clawing myself out of the grave, something

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 2>approaching joy. She was giving me life in the ways

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:09.160
<v Speaker 2>that pumping blood had not, and I was entirely unprepared

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 2>for what came next. I had a message. When I failed,

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I would dress well, even extravagantly in leaning on lace

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>and very wet, and then make my way to the

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>hunting ground. It would begin in a busy place, a tavern,

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>a theater, a night market, such as the one I

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.720
<v Speaker 2>found myself trolling on this night. You find someone with

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>the sharp eyes, someone who is watching the crowd as

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 2>intently as you, someone who is looking for something, a weakness,

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a chink in the armor, something to exploit and then

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:59.360
<v Speaker 2>become that weakness. Hmm. I could feel when the hungry

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 2>eyes fell on Ah, they sink, look at this tasty

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>fruit ready to pluck. And then I would do everything

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 2>my power to ignore my prayer as they stalked me about,

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 2>flashing my purse, working towards the edge of the crowd,

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and then I would make my break from it, wandering

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 2>down the quiet side streets and waiting for my prayer

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 2>to catch up. This is night was not different until

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>you you are following me. What do you want? Why?

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 7>Nothing at all, my lord, just out for a night's straw.

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 7>When I saw you taking the dangerous path away from

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 7>the market.

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Then you're here to to protect me? Not at all,

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 2>my lord? Do you wish me harm?

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 7>I wish for your ring, sir, and your purse and

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 7>those fancy boots.

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh and if I do not give them over, I've

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>been known to cut the rings off if they're not

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 2>freely giving as you raise.

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 5>It's really not as violent as I thought, Sophia. You

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 5>really are quite strong. You managed to overpower them so quickly.

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 5>It's over in a flash.

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing here? Why are you?

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 5>I just I wanted to see with my own eyes

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 5>how you feed yourself. It's dangerous here, you know, not

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 5>for you tell me, darling, how badly does it hurt?

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.879
<v Speaker 2>I'd imagine the penny's intense, but very brief, the broad

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 2>loss the experience causes people to lose consciousness.

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 5>Darling, don't be foolish, son, What do you mean? I

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 5>knew you wouldn't allow me to watch you, so I

0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 5>followed you in secret.

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 5>I did not mean to betray your trust, but I

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 5>needed to know if I could stomach it watching you eat,

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 5>And having watched it now closely, I can say without

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.919
<v Speaker 5>a doubt, it is the most natural thing in the world.

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:25.680
<v Speaker 5>So I ask you again, how badly does it hurt

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:27.719
<v Speaker 5>to be turned?

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I do not know. I don't remember how it happened

0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to me. Have you turned others only once? If I

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>know of, And I was not happy about it, just

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.439
<v Speaker 2>dazed and hungry and living like a rat.

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 5>But you would care for me, wouldn't you, no matter

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:52.880
<v Speaker 5>how difficult, no matter how it went, how what my love.

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 5>I wished to remain by your side. I wish to

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 5>experience what you experience.

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:03.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I have spent my life serving.

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 5>I do not want to be your pets, upplating something

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.120
<v Speaker 5>for you to wear on your arm and flay whether

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 5>and I I will not serve. I wish to rain

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:20.640
<v Speaker 5>jury beside you. If you love me, if you truly

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:22.160
<v Speaker 5>love me, you would wish this for.

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Me as well?

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 5>Do you do you love me?

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 2>And so the matter was decided.

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:35.919
<v Speaker 5>When no time like the present.

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Here on a dirty side street of the poor coatural

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 2>of the town.

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 5>I was born in such a quarter. We met in

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 5>such a quarter. It is fitting. Besides, I do not

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 5>care to wait any longer as you wish.

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So I am not entirely sure. Heart's done. I usual

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 2>drink until the subject is dead. The times that I

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't led me to believe that it was the disease

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>of the blood. I suppose. I just I'll give you

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 2>some of mine.

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 5>Here your victim had a knife to run, Give me

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 5>your hand.

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>What do you plan.

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 5>Don't be a baby, darling. Now let me drink.

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.359
<v Speaker 2>And so she raised my hand to her lips and

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>drank greedily.

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.399
<v Speaker 5>Now what, No, I don't know.

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Now we wait, tell me do you feel anything?

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't.

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Of course, nothing happens that evening. It was the next day.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 2>That's the first symptoms showed themselves. First a mark of

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 2>her nose ran, then a fever, and I said, it's

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a rage, bringing sons, blood and sweat. Pouring from her.

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 2>She rented and raved through the day in the night,

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 2>and on the fifth day she died. I began to

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 2>doubt myself at that point, if I'm being honest, began

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 2>to doubt that I even could turn her. And that

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 2>doubt grew into a rising panic as the hours passed

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 2>and I stood witchual over her corpse, but said, of course, Sophia.

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Hello, darling, I'm thirsty.

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 2>I had considered this possibility. Come in, Ah, is this here?

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 2>It is? And I can just have my way with her.

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 2>You can try, Sophia. This is Morrison. He is a

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 2>sailor in my employer. I ran into him by the

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 2>docks at the cat house.

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh mm hmmm.

0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>He has violent proclivities, does he? Ah?

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 5>Miss, No, no touch me down there anymore.

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>They're too afraid.

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:28.919
<v Speaker 5>But mister Hannaky says, you quite enjoy your little violence.

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 5>Does he come closer, Morrison?

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Ah, you're quite.

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 5>The vision mission, so I've been talked.

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Help me, are you? The violence with which she failed

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 2>was terrifying or inspired, so unlike my first time, she

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 2>latched onto some man, wrapped her arms and legs about him.

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Her sharp ite had found it joculars, so easily, and

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:10.359
<v Speaker 2>now she clung to him as he thrashed and kicked

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 2>and finally surrendered to his final journey. Ah hmmm, so.

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 6>More.

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I knew even in that moment that we

0:27:26.040 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 2>would have to live well ordered London, because the early

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:33.399
<v Speaker 2>times are ravenous. And Sophia proved me right. Over the

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 2>coming days, two three songs a night, and still she thusted.

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 2>It was dizzy, and within a few days began to

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.800
<v Speaker 2>draw attention in the press. The seaf evening of her

0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 2>new existence. I began making our plans to move west

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 2>into the wiles of the Americas, those lawless lens, a

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.119
<v Speaker 2>land borne of violence could easily bear a burton of

0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>her thirst. Can do cassa?

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Jesus, what was that? Sounds like someone threw a brick

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 1>through the window.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Sort of a bitch, I'm gonna go check it out.

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Shit, Sylvie, Wait, Sylvie. And then Jury Havoc himself stood

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>in the center of my bar, his eyes burning. He

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 1>was not happy.

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 2>You have something of mine.

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>You listen here, asshole. We know what you are, and

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you can Sylvie. You can have your book. Okay, just

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>get out of here.

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm afraid we'll well pass that point.

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Now stay away from her.

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Quiet. I tried to be your friend. I won't for

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you to remember that. I came to you in this

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 2>spirit of friendship, and it was your mistrust that brought

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 2>us to this rather sad point. Oh, it's something funny.

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 1>There was never any chance of friendship. You are a monster.

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Stay back, you're moving behind the bar? Is it back there?

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 2>What the Bible? The steak Bible won't work on me.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I've read it too thoroughly to be impressed. Stopping story

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>poorly told, and frankly, I don't think you're strong enough

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>to get the steak into my heart.

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>So I disagree. I've done it before.

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Really I've misjudged you. Then stop, I'm not going to

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 2>give you the opportunity. Why why what?

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Why did you come back here to finish what you started?

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 2>And what did I start.

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>The destruction of the town?

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Why would I destroy this town?

0:29:55.760 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I what what use would it be?

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Why would I draw this sort of attention to myself?

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:04.120
<v Speaker 6>Well?

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Why did you start this outbreak?

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Why would I do that?

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>It's where Sophia died, where she.

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Was murdered by your grandfather.

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 1>By the way she was killing people.

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't come here to infect the town.

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Then why why are you here.

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 2>To draw her out? Who finally her?

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Get away from her Havoc, Mari, get out of here.

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Run I was wondering, when you'd finally show your face.

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>What what are you talking about?

0:30:51.080 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Travesty after travesty, befalling my business, the fires at the shipyards,

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the factories, trains derailed, all the while the authorities eye

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 2>me as if I was causing all of it. It

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 2>took me a long time to figure out that there

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 2>was a mind behind it, and even longer to figure

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 2>out who was causing all the pandemonium.

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>And here you are, Marie, What the hell is he

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about?

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Corier? Come now, it's not every day that you get

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 2>to meet face to face with your ancestors. Well, don't

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 2>leave her in the dark, you monster. Say hello to

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:33.720
