- We'll join your scion. - Thank you.

BALDWIN: By declaring your own scion

I would be within my rights to cast you out of Sept-Tours.

Can't you at least respect my decision?

I cannot.

Matthew is convinced he was cleansing the world of blood rage.

Even though he has it?

He can't bear the idea of the twins going through what he did.

MATTHEW: To be a husband and a father again, that's all I've ever wanted.

You do know Matthew's been breeding with his witch?

SATU: I heard.

Diana's with Matthew now. One day, perhaps soon, Gallowglass...

- you will have to walk away from her. - ENGINE RUMBLES

WESTON: You're the one who would learn how it all began...

the blood, the death, the fear.

Timothy?

WESTON:...and the one who can put a stop to it once and for all.

It was a beautiful service.

Well, I can't imagine that's what Timothy would have wanted, but...

then again, I didn't know him, so...

Agatha, I'm so sorry about Timothy, about everything you've gone through.

You're our one true ally in the Congregation.

This Christening is a rejection of the Covenant.

Without it, the twins and Margaret will spend their lives as targets.

Well then, we'd better make sure that that doesn't happen.

GERBERT: Congratulations on the new arrivals.

Mother and babies doing well?

As far as I'm aware.

Do we know what they are yet?

Babies, I believe.

They're also a living, breathing violation of the Covenant.

Offspring of a powerful witch and a high-born vampire.

The power they might possess...

is unprecedented.

Obviously, I share your concerns, but nothing has been established yet.

Any threat to the existing order must be extinguished...

by you.

I won't kill my brother's children, Gerbert.

Then I'll ask the Congregation to rule on the matter.

I will, however, make a full assessment of them

and report my findings to the chamber.

And if they are a problem?

I'll deal with it.

DIANA: Hi.

YSABEAU: Are these my grandchildren?

BABIES GURGLE GENTLY

DIANA: Sleeping, I'm afraid.

Welcome home.

Here they are.

Do you approve?

I'm reserving judgement.

It's good to see you, Sarah.

We need to stand together now more than ever.

Being back here must be difficult for you.

I have the flowers you asked for, for your visit with Em.

Thank you.

You must be Jack.

I've heard a great deal about you.

I hope you know that you're very welcome here.

- Thank you. - Feel free to explore.

Shall we go through?

Oh, I think you can leave those there.

Hello, my love...

I've missed you.

Not a care in the world.

BABY FUSSES

So, what's wrong with this little one, hm?

Oh, she's just hungry.

- MARTHE CHUCKLES - She's always hungry.

Then you'd probably like some privacy.

We'll wait up for Marcus and Phoebe.

Your rooms are ready, as is everything else.

The invitations?

All sent, against my better judgement

considering some of the names on the guest list.

This christening will be seen as an act of war.

They're our allies against the Covenant.

YSABEAU: Baldwin?

MATTHEW: Baldwin has made his choice, and he will not...

support us.

But to exclude my brother would be a very grave insult

and that's not our intention.

I'd hope he might at least try to understand

what we're striving to achieve with the scion.

I would hope so too, but we are talking about Baldwin.

He isn't the only one.

Many will think this christening too provocative.

As I'm sure you're aware, you're about to find out who your true friends are.

You're gonna wake up the whole chateau.

MARTHE CHUCKLES It may be too late for that.

SHE CRIES

- Sorry. - BABY CRIES

No need to apologise to me. I haven't slept for years.

BABY CRIES

Aw.

She's hungry again.

I know that, Marthe.

I'm sorry.

You know, it's just...

- SHE SIGHS - BABY CRIES

Now I feel like a failure.

I just can't seem to satisfy her.

And any milk that she does get, she just...

She brings it back up again.

Matthew thinks it's too soon to worry, but...

Oh, what does Matthew know?

You're her mother.

And...

maybe it's not milk she needs.

You've been pacing the halls all night long.

I was exploring.

Ysabeau said it was OK.

- I like her. - Hm.

I think the feeling is mutual.

You do?

She doesn't give everyone the run of the house. Believe me.

What is it, Jack?

He's disappeared again, hasn't he?

It would appear so.

It's worse than him being around in some ways

because you know that he's still thinking about you

and what he's gonna do when he finds you.

You weren't exploring, were you?

You were patrolling.

Benjamin wouldn't dare to set foot on de Clermont territory.

You don't know that.

Even if he did, he wouldn't get close enough to hurt you.

It doesn't matter about me.

If he came anywhere near the twins...

I'd kill him.

I know what you think.

Why didn't I kill him when...

when he was doing what he did to me?

I don't think that.

I do.

All the time.

Oh, Jack.

I'd like to speak with Diana alone.

What are you doing?

I'm feeding your daughter.

BABY GURGLES - She was hungry.

So I gave her what she needed.

SHE GURGLES HAPPILY

There is a reason that we do not turn children into vampires.

She came to us this way, Matthew.

And what else has she inherited from me?

Well, if she has blood rage, then we'll deal with it.

You can't reason with a two-year-old in a killing rage.

We have more resources than other parents. I could spellbind her.

No.

Just until you reason with her, it can help her through it.

Like what Philippe did with you, you with Jack.

No. I won't have you do to her what your parents did to you.

They did what they had to, Matthew.

And I appreciate that more now than ever.

Whatever it is, whatever they need, I will do the same with our children.

As will I.

As will I, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That was uncalled for.

PHOEBE: How does this look for a vampire christening?

Well, I'm not gonna be able to concentrate on the sermon tomorrow.

SHE LAUGHS

I will take that as a compliment.

Can you?

Yeah.

You know, I've been thinking a lot recently.

Me too.

You know, I've been thinking about our future.

How and when am I going to become a vampire?

When you're gonna become a vampire?

Yes.

Not if?

Look, that's exactly why we need to talk.

After the christening.

I promise.

He woke up.

Well, let's...

get him back to sleep, shall we?

I can hear his blood sing.

Yes, it was faint at first.

Every day, it gets a fraction stronger.

He's a witch, isn't he?

- I don't think it's quite that simple. - JACK CHUCKLES

But his witch DNA does seem to be dominant.

Do you think he'll be able to cast spells?

I think he already has.

GERALDINE: Mm-hm.

Welcome.

You must be Marcus's family from New Orleans?

Ransome Fayrweather.

Geraldine Newcopse.

We have gifts for the new arrivals.

There's a table for presents in the salon. Please, go through.

Make yourselves at home.

Philippe de Clermont.

Ransome, it's so good to meet you.

- Geraldine. - Marcus.

Hi.

- Welcome back. - Hello, Marthe.

You've brought a friend?

A colleague.

And a friend.

Chris Roberts.

- The scientist? - Mm-hm.

Pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure is all mine.

Oh!

Well, enjoy yourselves while you can.

Thank you.

Everything OK?

Sure, just not entirely sure what to expect today.

Well, that makes two of us.

But don't worry, that's pretty standard for a de Clermont gathering.

Not that there's been one for a while, but...

Oh, when you say a while, how long are we talking?

Half a century or so?

Sounds about right.

MARCUS: I suspect we'll remember this one for a few years to come.

- WAITRESS: Madame? - Oh.

Hey.

SHE CHUCKLES

How does it feel to be back here?

It's hard. SHE SIGHS

The babies help.

Gallowglass didn't show?

He has declined the invitation.

If you'd like to make your way to the chapel

it's time.

Ah.

- Is that your daddy? - KNOCK ON DOOR

Come!

Is that your daddy?

Your allies are waiting in the chapel.

It's quite the gathering.

Well, if the Congregation didn't know what was happening before, they certainly do now.

YSABEAU: Yes, Gerbert always has spies watching us.

I thought I'd lived far too long

for there to be any revelations left for me to see.

For years, I feared witches and their power...

little knowing I would come to think of one

as my daughter.

And one who's given me two beautiful grandchildren.

My only regret is that Philippe isn't here to see them.

He would be very proud.

Yes.

DIANA: He's not here.

Gallowglass.

Who will stand as godparent for these children?

PRIEST: Thank you for gathering in watchfulness and care

for these two precious lives.

I now trace the cross on your forehead as we anoint you with the oil of salvation

in the name of Christ our Saviour.

May his power strengthen you, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

I baptise you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

God the Father has freed you from sin

and given you a new birth with water and the Holy Spirit.

By the mystery of your death and resurrection

bathe them in light.

Rescue them from the Kingdom of Darkness and welcome them into your holy church.

I give you this candle as a symbol of how God calls us out of darkness

and into His marvellous light.

You must make it your constant care to keep these children safe from sin and evil

so that virtue and faith may grow ever stronger in their hearts.

Are you prepared to accept this responsibility?

For witches, to call someone by their name

is to recognise their power.

Diana and Matthew have asked me to bestow upon these children

the names they will take as they go out into the world.

This will be the first time any of us have heard these names in full

as we recognise their potential.

BABIES GURGLE GENTLY

Rebecca Arielle...

Emily...

Marthe.

We welcome you into the world and in our hearts.

Philip Michael Addison...

Sorley.

We welcome you into the world

and in our hearts.

May Rebecca and Philip bear their names proudly

grow into their promise

and trust they will be cherished

and protected by all those here.

Blessed be.

ALL: Blessed be.

Apologies for my late arrival.

No apologies necessary.

We're glad you're here.

Well, I wanted to offer my congratulations to both of you.

Thank you, brother.

And ask that the children be brought to Venice.

Why would you need to do that?

For assessment.

We need to know what they are, Matthew.

They're our children.

That's all the Congregation needs to know.

BALDWIN: They are de Clermonts.

And I am the head of the de Clermont family.

Not if you recognise my scion.

I refuse to recognise a diseased, corrupt branch of the family.

Control, Jack.

This is not what Matthew needs at this moment.

Submit the children to me and bring this rebellion to an end.

I'm sorry.

I cannot.

Then you leave me no choice.

THEY GRUNT

This is between the brothers.

Get the babies back to the house.

Submit or I'll kill you!

MATTHEW: Never!

MATTHEW YELLS

THEY GRUNT

It would please me, brother

if you would reconsider my respectful request

to establish my own scion.

Let me go!

"Let me go"? Let me go!

I can't!

Please.

THEY PANT

I can't let you go, Matthew.

You have murder in your blood!

HE PANTS

Those children, Matthew...

do they have blood rage too?

THEY YELL

SARAH: Baldwin, enough!

Diana... Diana, no!

End it, Baldwin.

Or I will.

Alright.

Alright.

Vampires with blood rage are never in control.

Not absolutely.

If I was out of control, Baldwin, you'd already be dead.

I have never and never will bring shame upon the de Clermont family.

And neither will our children.

DIANA: What if I gave you my word

that any member of our scion with blood rage can be brought under control.

Would you then recognise Matthew as the head of his scion?

You can't make that promise.

I can.

I swear that if any of them act on their blood rage...

I will spellbind them.

And if your magic fails?

Then our scion has failed.

And we will submit to the Congregation.

Very well.

I recognise your scion.

Congratulations, Matthew.

You are now responsible for everyone you have sired

and all those they have sired.

Benjamin included.

Their sins are now your sins, brother.

The power you had in the church, it was Elemental.

But why didn't you use your weaver spells? The knots?

There was a knot that I would have used

if Baldwin hadn't have seen sense.

I felt its power.

It's the tenth and final knot, Sarah.

It's a knot of creation and destruction.

My magic is like our scion.

DIANA: A union of opposites.

And when I get the Book of Life back

replace the missing pages and heal it...

something tells me that my magic

will be even stronger.

Goody Alsop foretold

that old worlds will die

and new will be born.

That's the battle we began today

and there's no way of knowing where it finishes.

You did well today.

It can't have been easy, to control yourself like that.

I doubt the Congregation will see it that way.

Well, maybe they should.

Maybe it's time to stop living with shame.

Admit to ourselves that it's done more harm than the blood rage.

At least Baldwin gave you his blessing.

I wouldn't say that.

CHURCH BELLS TOLL

I apologise for the early hour, but recent events in France need to be discussed.

A christening? It's hardly cause for alarm.

Matthew and Diana used the christening

to break the Covenant along with the rest of their scion.

Am I to understand you've given your approval?

Matthew and Diana are already living in defiance of the Covenant

and now it seems your family has legitimised that.

The scion does not free Matthew from his duties to the Covenant.

On the contrary, he is now responsible for any transgressions

by members of that scion

including any past misdemeanours and crimes.

GERBERT: They will have to come before the Congregation

to be judged for those crimes too.

And the blood-raged vampire? He's been dealt with?

Yes.

He's dead?

I have been given assurances he is no longer a danger.

DOMENICO: And you believe that?

But were that not the case, Diana Bishop will use her magic to spellbind him.

Then she is a disgrace to all witches.

Because no witch would inflict that powerlessness on another creature.

I understand she and Matthew have a connection to the young man.

I can't imagine she made that offer lightly.

And surely spellbinding him is better than sentencing him to death.

How would you know?

Well, I would offer to put it to a vote

but as witch numbers are still depleted, we're not quorate.

GERBERT: We've yet to discuss the outstanding matter of the children.

When will they be presented for assessment?

That is why you travelled to Sept-Tours, after all.

Are we now to countenance the abduction of children?

Uh, not an abduction, more a... quarantining

until we know if they constitute a threat.

They're not weapons!

Can we really be sure of that?

It is clear they intend to bring down the Covenant.

In doing so, they risk exposing every single one of us to the humans.

It pains me to say this, but it is evident that the Congregation, as it stands

no longer has the discipline to counter their campaigns.

So, in the absence of any effective leadership

the vampires have no choice

but to take this matter into their own hands.

DIANA: Ah! Hi...

- BABIES GURGLE - That's magic.

Yeah, I know.

SHE GASPS

I want you to know that magic can be beautiful.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Ysabeau needs you downstairs.

There's a witch seeking your help.

DIANA: Matthew, this is Lena.

MATTHEW: Do you need my help, Lena?

LENA: No.

I'm here to warn you and Diana about Benjamin.

How do you know Benjamin?

LENA: He kidnapped me.

At first, I thought he just wanted me for his own sick pleasure.

But he talks about wanting to open up the truth of witches.

See inside them.

Talks about a witch with the power of life and death

that would allow him to control everything.

I don't know what that means.

Then he says he wants children.

He tried to sire you?

To turn you?

Not vampire children.

Witch children.

But you need to know, he talks about you too.

He's infatuated with you.

He told me he wanted me to be his Diana.

How did you know...

to come here?

He says someone made him do these things.

He said it was you

Matthew de Clermont

from inside your castle walls at Sept-Tours.

I can assure you that is categorically untrue.

You think I believed him?

You think I'd be here if I did?

I apologise.

What's he planning?

I'm sorry, that's all I know.

That's all we need, for now.

Let's make you comfortable for the night.

Yes.

MATTHEW: This is my fault.

I'm going to find Benjamin...

and I'm going to end him.

SHE SIGHS

You weren't to know.

MARCUS: We need to strengthen the Knights of Lazarus.

Bring in some new blood, in order to defend the scion.

I doubt you'll find many volunteers.

MARCUS: Then I'll make some conscriptions.

Chris would make an excellent knight, and I think Jack's ready.

I'm surprised Miriam isn't one already.

I'd like to ask Sarah.

Your first women.

I mean, it's hardly an achievement at this point in history.

Now there are two others that I have in mind, but...

I think I might need their parents' permission.

It means that we'll be sworn to defend each other.

It signals to the Congregation that if they take on one of us

they take us all on.

Let's do it as soon as possible.

MARCUS: I'll go speak to them now.

DIANA SIGHS

MATTHEW: Benjamin.

HE SNIFFS

WATCH TICKS

Do you swear faith and fealty to the order?

And to each other?

Vampire, daemon, witch, and human

to protect those in need of help?

ALL: I do.

MARCUS: Welcome to the Knights of Lazarus.

I want you to know that I'm also with you in this.

I never doubted it.

FERNANDO: Oh, I did.

After Hugh was killed, I was happier on the outside.

But that's not good enough anymore.

I want to be part of your scion, Matteus.

Part of what you and Diana are doing.

A member of your family.

And I hope that is at your right hand.

That is where I want you.

Thank you.

My love.

What?

I know you're set on facing Benjamin alone.

He is a problem of my creation.

I'm your wife.

Your problems are my problems.

No.

Let me fight with you.

You're my wife, not a weapon.

If something goes wrong, I want you to promise me

that you will never go anywhere near him.

I won't promise that.

- Promise me... - No.

Mon coeur...

ma lionne...

if I don't come back, this family of ours will go on.

And there are others who can serve as its head.

But you...

you will always be its heart.
