Original subtitles

(Quito) You take the children from the street

and give them the chance for a new life.

[Caws of crows]

And when you choose the right ones, they don't ask questions.

The Oderbruch and the border area in Poland are perfect.

[ominous music]

I can't stay here any longer.

I do what I can, but at some point it's going to hit me.

We have all the time in the world.

Go away from here,

until you can come back as your son can come back.

Stojan dies and you hide Adrian.

Or you send him to us.

What about Arthur?

[Rain pattering]

Hello.

Do you know where I can find Arthur Kring?

[Distant rumble of thunder]

[Ominous music]

[Caws of crows]

Maggie's 18 now, right?

Still no symptoms?

Don't worry.

That's not why I'm here.

You've gotten old.

I admire you, that you can stand it.

You get used to it.

Yes, you just don't.

That's what makes it so admirable.

But I've always understood you.

I protected you and your family from the Strigoi.

And yet...

you no longer see me as a friend.

And I envy you.

One day I want a family too.

What do you want?

To change everything.

A boarding school. Here in the Oderbruch, with Stojan.

Together we can convince my father.

Your father will never change.

Ask him for forgiveness.

Join us again.

Kai will become a Great Hunter, then there will be four of us.

My decision is made.

No.

You are wasting your strong blood and your power.

Is it really worth it?

If you really want a family...

then one day you will find out for yourself.

[Electronic music, whispering voices in the background]

(Quito) My goal is a coexistence between us and everyone else.

If you hadn't piled up had not piled up these corpses...

we would be much closer to our goal.

You've destroyed everything, what I built up with Stojan

built up over decades.

But now we're starting again.

(Most of the bodies on the mountain were Stojan's.

Every change has its price.

How many sacrifices did it take until you changed?

Epilepsy.

That's why my father hates me.

He sees in me the state of our dying species.

And in a way that's true.

You know the feeling of being despised by your of being despised by your own father.

Maybe that's why we want to do everything differently.

You think you can control the disease,

if you only quench our thirst for blood?

But you have no idea what thirst really means.

Look at you.

You're sitting somewhere in your palace

and every day you drink fresh human blood every day.

You have no idea how most of us live,

survive, what it's really like.

I've seen it and lived it.

You think someone like Cristobal is waiting

for his blood packet from your next boarding school?

You can't turn wolves wolves into sheep.

It's in us.

It can overtake us at any time, even you.

You don't know what it's like, to die of thirst and starvation.

And then you hear the pulse of a vein.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You can't control them either. you can't control.

[Crickets chirping]

[Clanging]

[Lock opens]

[Zajak] We're safe here for now.

They won't hurt her.

Vera is the most precious thing, they have.

At the moment, my brother is Vera's biggest threat.

[Quiet guitar music]

[Wind whistling]

[Quito] Is that the dog?

[Fayez] Mh-mh.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Maybe there is something, you still need.

From your apartment?

I'm not going to hurt you.

And after a certain point

I won't do anything anymore, that you don't want.

You don't understand what you are yet.

I do.

No, you know what you have inside you, but not what it means.

My mother told me what you're up to.

Vera, this is not an abduction.

This is your rescue.

From what?

From my father and from your mother.

My father will do exactly what what Maggie warned you about.

And a life with your mother would be a life on the run.

From the Strigoi, from the law, but most of all from yourself.

You are destined for more.

You can unite the humans and us unite us. You can change everything.

I don't want to change anything. I want to go home.

And where is that?

[melancholy music]

Where are they taking her?

To their leader.

If Kai was right, he lives in one of those churches

he told us about.

[Exciting music]

[Zajak whispers] "Destiny of the higher life"

[Maggie] Ordo Aeternus, eternal order.

A sect that has less than 4000 members

and operates 58 private facilities worldwide.

History... Organization...

Symbolism.

"Aeternitatis dono beati at summum ordinem ascendimus".

We have in Norway killed a strigoi

and shortly before that he mumbled something in Latin.

Aeternitatis dono beati.

"Aeternitatis dono beati", that's what he said.

What does that mean?

"Blessed by the gift of eternity blessed

we ascend to the highest order.

We overcome the mortal and strive for divinity."

Where are these 58 buildings?

You asked, if I need anything.

My dog is still in an apartment in Monrico.

He urgently needs medication.

Write everything down, everything we need to know.

We'll get him.

[Exciting music]

[Zajak] Where else?

Recife, Brazil. It's the last one.

(Zajak) Still too many.

(We have to narrow it down narrow it down somehow.

We're looking for a secluded place.

Ankara away.

Barcelona, no. Palermo, Mérida. Moscow too.

15, 16, 17, 18.

18 places.

That's still a lot. Do we have anything else?

Kai quoted this one passage.

"Walls of heaven above the world. The eternal order never crumbles.

Home of the strongest, your body a stone.

Door speaks: 'Enter', like the Vine wine, the blood is so pure."

"Walls of heaven", that is a church.

"Above the world."

On a mountain, in a mountain range.

(Zajak whispers the words again)

Only someone with pure blood may enter.

Vines.

None of them are in the mountains.

That can also be a metaphor for something else.

Perhaps that... um...

That religion, the spirit is above everything.

18 places.

On different continents.

And it's all guessed.

They could have anywhere.

We have nothing.

[sighs]

[Crickets chirping, quiet music]

[Call of an owl]

[Distant dog barking]

How did Roland die, Maggie?

Dejan stabbed him.

He came after me, to the villa.

He wanted to save me.

Actually, he always wanted to.

Even when we were kids.

And somehow he did.

Did you read his diaries?

Yes.

And?

Am I the worst thing thing that ever happened to him?

He loved you, Maggie.

Even when you were away.

The worst thing for him was was that his mother disappeared.

What happened?

He writes about it in his diaries.

And that his mother is in a convent.

Here.

"Dad collapsed.

Whimpered."

"...that she lives in a convent in no man's land

and that she's fine.

I know it was just a lie, to make me feel better.

I hate it when he does that."

Maybe it wasn't a lie at all.

Maybe Justus really did know where Veronica was.

Not killed, then, but abducted.

Held captive in a monastery in no man's land.

But no man's land can mean anything.

[exciting music]

(Zajak) "Terra nullius"

Latin for "nobody's land".

Refers to areas that are not legally are not legally assigned to a state

and have no central government or institutions.

No police or legal structures.

Today, the status of terra nullius is rare.

Well-known examples are Bir Tawil,

a desert region between Egypt and Sudan,

and a small border area between Spain and Portugal

called Terra Azul.

There's a church there.

Right there.

"Terra Azul is a sparsely populated and strictly

strictly guarded nature reserve on the Atlantic coast.

The most important building in the region is the 'Casa do Céu' monastery.

Another aspect of the monastery

is the traditional cultivation and and export of wine."

(Maggie) These are grapevines.

"Like the wine of the vine the blood so pure."

[Cries of seagulls]

We'll be right there.

(Quito's wife) If we don't find him find him, it was all for nothing.

[Frog croaks]

[Quacking continues]

[Croaking]

Here.

[Exciting music]

[Crickets chirping]

[Key jingles]

[unlocking car doors]

[gloomy music]

[Alarm goes off]

[Engine starts]

[Engine roars]

[Quito] Take Kai upstairs.

We'll catch up.

[Seagull cries]

What is this?

[Quito] A cemetery.

I'm sorry.

My people were late.

[Guitar sounds]

You can bury him here.

[Frantic breathing]

[Engine noises]

[Seagull cries]

Thank you.

[Sophie] Dad!

[melancholy music]

[Quito's wife] I was so scared.

Your father wanted to kill us.

Who's that?

That's Magdalena's daughter.

She's even better suited.

I'll explain later.

Have you prepared everything upstairs?

Yes.

I envy you.

- Why? - Because you're a girl...

and yet can live for centuries.

Like my father.

[ominous music]

How do you know she has our blood has our blood? If she doesn't have it...

Then I'll know the fate of Helen and my daughter

in my own hands.

Thank you.

It's time.

Vera...

They'll treat you differently, than I do.

You have to be strong now.

Do what they say.

Then everything will be fine.

Trust me.

[Somber music]

[Caws of crows]

[Rattling cough]

[Hinges squeak]

Where's Magdalena Kring?

We don't need her.

We have... her daughter.

[Gasping breath]

[Ion] Kai Kring.

[Ion murmurs]

The torture wheel was in the Middle Ages...

a particularly cruel form of execution.

The victims lived for many hours...

in great agony.

Until the circulatory system finally failed...

and the redeeming death occurred.

My father... was tortured on tortured on just such a wheel.

And people wondered...

why, even after days he didn't want to die.

It was interpreted as interpreted as an intervention by God...

and he was pardoned.

This wheel is a warning for everyone who comes to me.

But for you... it will be your new home.

I will put you on this wheel weave and break.

And when your wounds are healed,

I will weave you back onto this wheel and break you again.

And again.

And again. And again.

Get him out of my sight.

[Gasping breath]

[Murmuring]

Half-breed.

Petite...

[Smacking]

Fragile...

Weak spirit...

Hmm.

It's hard to believe, that you're supposed to be our salvation.

I hope for your sake that she is.

Otherwise you'll see how long your zips survive on the wheel.

Prepare everything.

[Exciting music]

[Kai groans]

[gasping breath]

[choral singing]

[muffled beats]

[organ music]

[whimpering, groaning]

Quito. Quito, please.

[Panicked breathing]

Please don't.

Please don't.

[Screaming in pain]

[Screams of pain, crying]

[gasping for breath]

[Exciting music]

[panicked breathing]

Like this.

[panicked breathing continues]

[Scream of pain]

Nothing to see yet.

[Gasping for breath]

[Scream of pain]

[Doctor] Hold still!

Take it easy.

[Heartbeat]

[Groaning]

So the tissue regeneration is... for a half-breed...

I've never seen anything like it.

[Screams] What did I tell you?

What are the doubters saying now?

We have waited centuries had to wait for this moment.

And many have lost confidence.

[Whispering, murmuring]

But... who will give you the blood mother now?

Me!

My breeding program is alive!

[Vera groans, breathing heavily]

This...

is the mother of your children.

She is the mother of our future.

Once the council is complete...

we will determine who gets her first.

[Whispering voices]

[Whispering voices]

[Screaming] Vera!

I'm sorry.

What's Quito up to with me?

You have to trust him.

How am I supposed to trust someone who has kidnapped me?

To use me for his own purposes.

And doesn't tell me what those purposes are.

(Helen) Like me, most people were born here and indoctrinated.

Some, like Sophie...

have never seen the world outside outside these walls.

As soon as they are sexually mature, they enter a breeding program

and are assigned to a hunter

to sire his children.

In the hope...

that one day give birth to a girl like you.

Quito wants to free us.

But only with you by his side he has the power to do so.

[Engine]

[Handbrake]

[Maggie clears throat]

[Engine roars]

[dynamic music]

[exciting music]

[whispering voices]

[Man] The council is fully assembled.

Put this on.

The robe of the Blood Mother.

Now.

Now.

[dynamic music]

[Engine roars]

[Ion] For the first time in 100 years we are gathered here.

Because of her.

The one with the purest and strongest blood gets her,

as soon as I have two female offspring with her.

With each additional two offspring

she is given to the next blood purity to the next person.

Her strong-blooded children

will ensure the continuation of our species

and lead us into a new age.

(Ion.) Take her to my chamber.

I'll be right there.

[all the hunters whisper the nameless poem]

[Whispering]

You don't have to come in.

I know.

[Whispering ends]

[Ion] To a new age.

I'll open the gate from the inside.

They won't hurt you, I am your shield.

(Stay behind me and aim at... - Head or heart.

(Zajak) How do we know if we're in the right place?

(Spanish) This is private property.

[Groaning, grunting]

We're in the right place.

[Quacking]

(Quito) Filobatis terribilis.

The golden poison dart frog.

Like us, it is threatened with extinction.

It occurs exclusively in a small small area in Colombia.

[Cough]

Its skin is equipped with glands glands that secrete a poison.

[Cough]

The smallest amount is deadly.

Not even we are a match for this poison.

[Coughing, gasping for breath]

The first symptoms are numbness,

tingling mouth and finally

muscle weakness, dizziness.

Exactly what you're feeling right now, what you're all feeling right now.

Quito! What have you done to us?

Quito!

[Coughing continues]

This is what it must have felt like in my boarding school.

[Dramatic music]

[Muffled thuds, groans]

Maggie's here.

We'll get my family and Vera and through the catacombs to the boat.

Send every man we have to stop them.

[Gunshots]

[Exciting music]

Come on! Stay behind me.

[Unintelligible whispering]

[Distant gunfire]

We have to get out of here.

[Helen] What's going on up there?

Take her to the bay and wait for me there.

I'll catch up with you.

I have to get Vera.

(Vera.) Kai.

[Gunshots]

[Vera] Kai! Get me out of here!

Get me out of here! [Groans]

[excited breathing]

I'm sorry.

Kai.

[Kai] You know why I have to do this.

Don't do this, please.

Kai, look at me.

This is your salvation!

Kai, no. Put the gun down.

There's another way, Kai.

[sniffles] This is the only way.

[Dramatic music]

[Gun clicks without ammunition]

[distant gunshots]

(I wish.., I didn't have to do this, Vera.

But we should never should never have been born.

(Our species is dying out,

because apart from your mother and and your sister.

And that's a good thing.

[Slurping]

(Arthur) Countless people

would give their children and children's children.

[Gasp]

[gunshot]

[dramatic music]

[Vera cries, gasps]

Kai.

Kai?

He tried to kill me.

[gasps, cries]

That shouldn't have happened.

Kai didn't have to die.

[Maggie] But you all have to die.

(Vera.) No.

He's not what you think.

(Vera, you can't trust him.

Put the guns down.

No one will die here anymore.

You won't hurt him, or I won't come with you.

(Vera, do you want to accept what you are?

Or do you want to fight it?

Your mother hates what you are.

She hates herself.

All she has to offer you, is a life on the run.

An eternal fight against yourself.

Self-mutilation.

Agonizing deprivation.

Forever.

Why didn't your mother come to you earlier?

She even paid your neighbor Raquel to look after you,

so she wouldn't have to.

She disowned you.

(Maggie growls)

(Zajak.) We have to get out of here.

Don't try to stop us.

When is Father coming?

He'll be here soon.

[spherical music]

[choral singing]

[Zajak] Drive off.

We have to your wounds.

I wish I had never met you.

[Squealing]

[Thud, glass shatters]

[Beeping]

[quiet music]

[choral singing]

[sound of waves]

[Motorboat starts up]

[choral singing]

[screams] Vera!

There are still enough hunters among us who are loyal to your father.

How are you going to convince them to follow you?

Not me.

You.
