[sharp exhale]

[Lady] How do I catch you up?

So much has happened since my last visit.

I wish I had time to tell you everything.

You deserve that much.

I feel like I'm leaving you in the dust.

Again.

But I've got a war to end.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God,

pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

[officer] Mask up!

We hit the red zone in T-minus 30.

The nanosecond that door opens,

you run your asses to the rendezvous point

and you run like hell because you're in it.

I promise you, no matter how bad it looks out there,

you turn around, I'm gonna look worse.

…at the hour of our death.

Is that clear?

[soldiers] Yes, sir!

[officer] God save us all.

[alarm blares]

…of God, pray for our sins.

[officer] Go, go, go, go!

[man] Your objective,

infiltrate Castle Mundus and secure an epoch-defining ancient weapon,

one that will tip the scales in this war against hell.

We were told to rendezvous here for orders.

The mission was to take out that thing in front of the gates

so our guys could punch through.

If I can get to that ridge,

I can send a rocket straight into that fire-breathing mouth thing's gut.

[heavy footfalls thudding]

No matter what comes, we get him to that ridge.

[man] We've outfitted you with a tracker,

meticulously calibrated to detect

the weapon's unique demon energy signature.

Follow it closely.

[heavy thud in distance]

[man] Your stealth generator is your lifeline,

but its charge is sadly finite.

Stay hidden at all costs.

[screaming]

Eat this!

[song halts]

[somber, restrained music playing]

[speaking in Makaian]

[Lady] Call me Lady.

[furtive whispering]

Free the others, then make your way behind the battle lines.

Hey, Lady!

[speaks in Makaian]

[Lady] You're welcome.

- [bells tinkling] - Not going so well, is it?

The progress of the battle is not your concern.

[jester demon] I was just in the throne room.

Lord Mundus couldn't be cheered by even my wittiest japes.

He bemoans that none of his generals are bold enough to ask for his help.

[growling softly]

[manic tittering]

Lord Mundus,

the sapiens have progressed further than we anticipated.

[Mundus] With all the armies of Makai at your command,

you cannot defeat a few insects flinging little balls of iron?

We will prevail, Majesty, of course.

But if you were to display your own unrivaled might, it may--

[Mundus] Now, having disgraced my banner,

you think to command me in my own hall.

[forceful metal music playing]

[Mundus] Impudent fool.

But not wrong.

[man] Once our double agent

has drawn Mundus away from his throne room,

you'll have a brief window to extract the weapon.

[jingling]

[dark, brooding goth rock playing]

[screaming]

[man] The weapon lies lodged within the very seat of Mundus's power,

his throne.

It may appear as an ordinary object, but do not be deceived.

[giggling]

The weapon is an ancient artifact, as old as time itself.

And Mundus fears its power.

That is why he keeps it so close.

[Lady] There you are.

[dark, brooding goth rock swelling]

[Lady] The whole offensive…

It was just to get him off the throne.

All for a fucking cup.

[rowdy intro music playing]

[music trails off]

You're a long way from the battle lines, sapien.

No armies to protect you.

We are the power here.

[knight] There is only one power in this realm.

Are you declaring treason to your king?

All sapiens and their spoils are his by right.

The Nelo Angelo.

The way we heard it, your Lord Mundus is the reason

these sapiens were able to breach our world.

These lands no longer recognize a ruler so inept.

[knight] They will,

because he sent me to oversee them.

Only you?

[knight] A warrior.

Behold, the stoic orphan of Sparda.

The quieter, brooding twin.

Hello, Vergil.

I would be very careful about who hears you use that name.

Oh, touchy, aren't we?

It's okay.

I know your peers despise this human form.

I come with a message for Vergil, from the Uroboros.

The snake who eats its own tail.

He wants you to know that he's not merely alive,

but he's thriving, celebrating,

because he stole something precious from your daddy Mundus.

Stole what?

The Arcana Chalice.

Impossible.

Oh, poor little Vergil,

kept in the dark by Daddy Mundus.

Betrayal's sting is sharp, isn't it?

The Uroboros, however, only tells the truth.

He was the one who killed your mother.

Who do you speak of? Tell me.

Secrets are like a fire.

They can illuminate or consume.

If you're brave enough to step into the inferno,

cross into Earth realm.

He's dying to meet you.

[entrancing vocal music playing]

[Vergil] The Uroboros.

Impossible.

The U.S. military continues to make progress

in their ongoing operation in Hell.

Officials tell us they successfully completed

a tactical backwards advance maneuver last night,

with fewer casualties than expected.

The spineless bureaucrats at the UN just voted to officially condemn

the President's heroic anti-demon operation.

Let me be crystal clear.

If you're against our troops, you're on the side of the devil.

President Hopper will go down as…

…the greatest leader in U.S. history.

[anchors in unison] He was the only one who had guts to tell the truth,

and he's fulfilling America's duty to stop evil at its source.

Every real, God-fearing American loves him.

We'll be hot this week, folks,

but not as hot as we could be, thanks to our brave troops.

And coming up on Wednesday,

an event that only happens once every 159 years,

a hybrid solar eclipse.

[distorted] Hybrid solar eclipse.

[ominous voiceover] Dark forces are conspiring to cripple America.

So America has entrusted her faith

in an organization that was built to exterminate darkness.

[heroic music playing]

DARKCOM, an interdimensional justice firm

that employs Earth's top scientists, engineers, and combat specialists

to defend you from the demon terrorists from Hell.

DARKCOM, bringing evil to justice.

Here at DARKCOM,

our crusade is to keep you safe from the diabolical demons

who want to cage you and strip you of your freedom.

This is why our brave operatives are working around the clock,

delivering liberty to our enemies.

Both in this realm…

and beyond!

DARKCOM, your guard in dark times.

Part of the Uroboros family of companies.

You don't think it's a bit heavy-handed?

The most effective propaganda is the most obvious.

The point isn't to convince people.

It's to give them a feeling of unease.

Dread, the ideal customer.

Arius!

I quit.

[Arius chuckles]

You know, most employees who I assign tasks with a near certainty of death

quit before they do them.

I appreciate the originality.

[scoffs] All the same, I'm done.

The devil is not done with us.

The devil isn't the one sending hundreds of our own soldiers

to get slaughtered as a goddamn diversion.

Dante told me, you don't care about the people who die on your orders.

He was right.

If your unholy mongrel was right,

why is he currently frozen in a tube in our basement?

Because I chose you.

A shame you're leaving.

Just when I was about to give you a promotion.

You think I'm gonna fall for that?

You clearly have your own ideas on how to fight this war.

Use them.

I want to appoint you as commander of DARKCOM's entire military division.

You'll have the freedom to pursue mission objectives however you see fit.

What does it matter if I'm commanding DARKCOM's troops

when the U.S. Army's out there doing suicide runs?

That was an unfortunate necessity.

We had to attack with enough force to draw out Mundus himself.

I do care, Mary.

More than you can know.

But the power this artifact holds,

acquiring it was worth any amount of sacrifice.

Power to do what?

[Arius] To kill Mundus.

It is the final piece of the Arcana.

The only weapon that can truly destroy him.

It will let us unleash an almighty fire.

A tactical strike to eliminate the so-called "king."

And bring Makai freedom.

I'll take the position.

Only so somebody else doesn't fuck it up.

Congratulations, Commander Arkham.

It's not Arkham anymore.

Just Lady.

Passion may have caused her belief to waver,

but she has more than earned the truth.

It's time we told her

about her father.

Soon, once our final victory is complete.

Hey, what are you doing?

[dark, operatic music playing]

[Arius] The Arcana cannot be destroyed by any mortal means.

Now we know for certain.

This is one of the four.

The Medaglia, the Spada, the Bastone.

And now, the Chalice to complete it.

Just in time for the moment when its power can be unlocked.

There's still one more thing we need.

Not to worry.

The bait has already been laid to bring Vergil over to this realm.

Our surveillance team will know the instant he sets foot on Earth.

And a force will be waiting to collect and deliver him.

Vergil will be met with DARKCOM's latest innovation,

the Super Demon Killer 950 cartridge.

Designed to eject a specialized nerve agent based on Dante's DNA.

The cocktail will reach Vergil's brainstem in seconds,

causing permanent total paralysis.

Sparda's sons will finally be reunited.

And as insurance,

we have our undercover agent in Mundus' court,

to make certain Vergil takes the bait.

[taut, emotional music playing]

Because when you achieve something...

[young Dante] I know where Mom hid the boombox. Let's go get it.

- Can't wait to show our friends. - [demon] Your father's crimes.

- [young Vergil] I don't need saving. - [demon] There were many.

[young Vergil screaming]

[music trails off]

[jester demon giggling]

Let me sing you a song of the blackest of knights

and the foes of our realm that he slayed.

A tragic number, really.

I'll call it "The Ballad of Nelo Angelo."

Catchy, isn't it?

Say what you mean, Jester.

I have no patience for riddles.

Fine, fine.

I just think it curious.

Our noble King Mundus dotes on you like a son.

And yet he keeps banishing you to the farthest corners of his empire.

Well, perhaps it's for the best, considering...

Considering what?

Out there, no one knows who your real father is.

The greatest traitor in this realm's long history.

Your history is a lie. Sparda was no traitor.

Such fun little things, aren't they?

Lies. Twisting, coiling, feeding on themselves.

Like a snake devouring its own tail.

The Uroboros. That was no slip of the tongue.

- What are you playing at? - Oops, silly me. It just tumbled out.

Though it seems to have struck a chord.

Enough!

The Uroboros is the mark of...

Argosax the Chaos.

To speak his name is treason against Mundus,

and a death sentence for you.

I'm but a humble fool.

Don't tell the king, I beg you.

Lord Mundus already slew his royal guard in a fit of rage.

Nobody knows why.

Perhaps you have some idea?

[red-haired woman] From the Uroboros.

Because he stole something precious from your daddy Mundus.

The Arcana Chalice.

The Arcana.

[dark goth-metal music playing]

[music halts abruptly]

[demon 1] Is that...?

[demon 2] Yes. In his sapien form.

[demon 1] Why?

Why is he so cocky?

[demon 3] Rat.

Disgusting.

[demon 4] He's weak.

- [demon 5] Then why whisper? - [demon 4] Shut up.

I knew I smelled another sapien.

Do you really believe you belong here among us?

Half-breed.

Among you?

No.

[blade ringing]

[dark goth metal resumes]

[music stops]

[Vergil] The Western Wastes now openly defy you.

They know somehow that you are to blame for the sapiens' incursion into Makai.

[Mundus] It is true.

Had I not sent you to maneuver the White Rabbit,

the sapiens would not have gained the tool needed to invade our world.

A regrettable outcome,

but of little consequence.

Your father's archaic barrier will fall.

Earth will kneel to me.

There is another rumor.

That the sapiens stole something from you.

And it may have been one of the Arcana.

[Mundus] Yes, they did take such a thing,

thieving from the shadows like the low scuttling creatures they are.

I was unaware that an Arcana piece had been found.

Could it be a worshiper of Argosax who stole it?

[Mundus] Argosax and all his worshipers are dead.

You killed the last of them yourself.

I would rain punishment down upon the sapiens' entire realm for this insult,

could I enter it myself.

There may be a more expedient path.

I can blend in amongst the sapiens.

I can return the Arcana to you before your troops would even be readied.

[Mundus] Hmm.

Take care that your focus is not shaken by the kin you have in that realm.

[sweeping, emotional music playing]

[Mundus] Dante is a shadow of the self you destroyed.

Nothing more.

Of course, Majesty.

[Mundus] Hmm.

The sapiens could not have done this alone.

For them to know of the Arcana,

for these rumors to have spread,

there is a traitor in our midst.

Perhaps many.

This is a threat to the very order of the realm.

Go now.

[Mundus] Focus.

Feel the Yamato's power merge with yours.

It will allow you, and you alone, to travel between the worlds.

[Yamato rasping]

[grim, suspenseful music playing]

Target took the bait.

California Interception Team B,

target is in your area.

Paralyze it and bring it in.

Show him what America's finest are capable of.

You will prevail.

Yes, sir.

Halt, demon.

This is DARKCOM Border Patrol.

You have entered our realm illegally.

[Vergil, wryly] Hmm.

[aggressive, forceful music playing]

Gotcha, you demon-blooded bitch.

The devil ain't got shit on Uncle Sam.

Those of you I've left able to speak,

Who is it that branded you with this?

The Uroboros.

[Arius] All goes to plan.

Your sister did well, Chi.

Uroboros has almost fulfilled its purpose.

[wistful, mysterious music playing]

["Secrets" by Power Glove playing]

[Dante] You can come with me, if you want. We can do an odd couple buddy cop thing.
