01x07 - The Trial

[bunniefuu]

That's the... C-Come here.
That's the Baron.

- Come on, Barry.
- Come on.

(laughing): We are so high.

We're on drugblood.

Put the hat on. Oh, yeah...

- Oh! Ugh, no.
- LASZLO: sh*t.

- NADJA: I broke his half off.
- NANDOR: His bodies' half off.

LASZLO: No, no, no, he's just
coming through the floor.

Guillermo?

Help us! Don't just stand there.

I don't think that's Guillermo.

- Guillermo?
- LASZLO: No.

N-No, Nandor, that's the StairMaster.

The master of the stairs.

- We f*cked up. This is bad.
- Where's Guiller...

(in distance): Guillermo!

Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
Oh, my God...

NANDOR: We are gathered here
tonight in our backyard

to commemorate the second
death of the Baron.

NADJA: We are having a ceremony

to commemorate the Baron's passing.

Problem is, though,

we don't remember how he d*ed,

because we were absolutely

messed up on drugblood.

And as a sign of respect,
we have decided to bury you

betwixt my two favorite vaginas:

that of my wife and my mother.

Baron, such a wonderful, filthy times

we did have.

- (snickering)
- What a way

to live your life after death,

and what a way to die.

(bell tolling)

Did we m*rder him?

LASZLO: We, um, we might
have floated the idea

of murdering him, but we didn't do it.

Did we?

NADJA: Oh, I think
something awful happened.

f*ck.

LASZLO: Maybe we should
keep this under our hats.

If any vampires find out about this,

then it... (quacks)

(bell tolling)

Give the Baron his last sip.

- Of course.
- (Nadja humming a tune)

(Nandor and Laszlo humming along)

NADJA: So just get him in.

- Yep.
- Goodbye, Baron.

(raven squawks)

Master, there's a raven looking at us.

(squawking)

It is a bad omen. It means that

bad luck is approaching.

- Hey, g*ng.
- (all groan)

What's up? Oh!

Oh, my God.

Did-did you guys k*ll him?

No! No one m*rder*d him.

- No! What... He was just...
- We found him in there.

(laughs): I'm just giving you guff.

And, uh, just so you know, I am
feeding on you guys right now.

NADJA: You can be such a prick, Colin.

COLIN: I have heard that.

sh*t. The Baron's familiar.

(ravens squawking)

There's more ravens. They're
giving me the shits.

NANDOR: Guillermo, shield
us from the ravens.

NADJA: The sky is filled with them.

- No, let's just go inside.
- Let's go inside.

Fill the hole. Keep filling.

GUILLERMO: But the ravens...

NADJA: They're everywhere!

(whimpers)

There are ravens all over
the front lawn now, too.

They're trying to frighten us.
But it won't work.

(thump)

- ALL: Aah!
- NADJA: What is going on?

GUILLERMO: Master.

- ALL: Aah!
- LASZLO: Ay yai yai.

There's a floating woman
on the front porch.

She needs to talk to you.

You have been summoned...

(thunder claps)

to appear before the Vampiric Council

at the Temple of Blood-Devourers.

Could you not have just telephoned?

We sent ravens.

We sent ravens!

Yes, but we have a telephone.

I'm shocked and appalled that
you didn't raven us back.

We didn't know how.

You just say, "Raven, we will be there.

Thank you. Fly."

You've been invited.

(thunder claps)

(hissing)

Couldn't you just have telephoned?

NANDOR: The Vampiric Council is
a very ancient organization.

Very powerful. And, apparently,

very scary.

LASZLO: They travel from
all corners of the globe

to administer supreme and final justice

upon any vampire

who's violated the Vampiric Code.

Laszlo was very nearly
summoned when he turned a baby

into a vampire, which is a big no-no.

It's true. You're not
supposed to do that.

But, to be honest, I was bored.

I gave it to an
acquaintance in the Bronx,

where, I believe,

it remains to this day.

That baby would be about
years old now.

You really f*cked up there.

I certainly did.

Maybe we should visit it.

I'd rather not.

Here it is.

NANDOR: Okay, so, obviously,
we are all on edge.

This could be about anything,

so we must say nothing
about you-know-what.

Obviously.

LASZLO: Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

NADJA: It is that woman.

LASZLO: I think she wants
us to come inside.

Hello again.

Follow me.

So glad you could make it.

(clears throat)

- (elevator bell chimes)
- Oh.

Enter.

(whispers): How did she do that?

(Muzak playing)

- (elevator bell chimes)
- Oh.

And we're here.

And follow me.

How does she do that?

The Tribunal have gathered
in the Chamber of Judgment,

and there you'll be put on trial.

NADJA: Why does this hallway never end?

Well, it's just a freaky-long hallway.

I thought the Council
was bigger than that.

- Maybe we can battle them.
- Shh!

GUIDE: Enter.

Not the human.

Vampire-only trial, Guillermo.

What will happen to me?

Oh, you'll see.

(laughs, coughs)

Sorry, I have a...

little blood bubble in my throat.

(clears throat)

You'll see...

a room at the end of the hallway

for the familiars.

Ludwig will take you to
the familiar lounge.

Ludwig. Ludwig.

Ludwig!

I'll just do it. Follow me.

Watch your step.

I don't have to, I glide.

Good evening, Your Excellencies.

This is Vasillika the Defiler.

Hello.

And I am...

Garrett.

Garrett the...

The vampire.

Simple. Nice.

Hi, Garrett the vampire.

Now, what happened with the Baron?

- He's dead.
- Oh...

- Sorry, everyone.
- It w... We didn't make him dead.

LASZLO: No, it's true. It
was a misunderstanding.

Um, as a joke, we said,
"Why not k*ll the Baron?"

And if you were there at the time,

- you, too, would have laughed.
- NANDOR: (chuckles) Yes.

Now we realize that it was
probably a stupid thing to say,

and we are truly sorry,

and we're taking this very seriously.

And these are our serious faces.

Serious, serious, serious.

GUIDE: Follow.

What are you doing?

I'm warming my face.
It's so cold in here.

Well, it's an LED light.

Oh.

There's no way we could have fire.

The fire marshals would have a fit.

I have to say

we are deeply moved

by your story, and-and
maybe it's just me,

but I don't think you're guilty at all.

- Vasillika?
- Mm, no,

I don't think you sound guilty.

I-I think... they might let you go.

Sorry, what do you mean by "they"?

VASILLIKA: The Vampiric Council.

You're not the Vampiric Council?

- (laughs)
- Oh. (laughing)

GARRETT (laughing): No. No, we're...

- we're prisoners here.
- No, we have

- been imprisoned in this boring room
- Oh...

for... , years?

- Oh, it's really awful.
- Since .

Mm.

That's not , years.

What-what year is it?

It's .

We have been here for years.

- GARRETT: Oh, sh*t.
- What did you do?

Oh, me? Too much defiling.

They say I turned a baby into a vampire

and left it in the Bronx.

Who would do such a thing? If
I ever find out who did it,

I will take a dagger and
s*ab them , times

with this hand, switch
hands, and s*ab them

another , times!

I can fill up this book

with the ways I would
t*rture that vampire.

Wouldn't want to be him.

- That poor baby.
- Poor, poor baby.

The Vampiric Council will see you now.

- Doesn't have to be right now.
- I mean, right now...

Right now. I... They had a
break, but they're ready now.

They...

(door slams shut)

Hey. Are you a familiar, too?

Yes.

Welcome.

(bell tolling)

This is the chamber where
you will be tried.

You could hang...

Hang?

Here, until the trial starts.

- I think we're ready.
- No...

- NANDOR: We are not ready.
- GUIDE: Yes. We are ready.

NANDOR: No, we're not...
- What? What's going...

Dark greetings of the night

to all the members

of the Vampiric Council,
from all the continents,

gathered here together on...

- (whispers): Staten Island.
- On St...

O-On Staten Island.

VIAGO: Welcome, vampires
from near and far,

to this here grand Vampiric Council,

to judge over these three accused.

Accused of what, you may ask.

- m*rder...
- Vampire m*rder.

- Vampire m*rder.
- Sor... vampire m*rder.

(hissing)

VIAGO: So that's why we're here.

I'll now introduce the
leaders of the council,

starting here with Tilda.

Pretty much our leader.

She's the one who makes - Hello.

All the big decisions.

Welcome, Tilda.

I am Viago Von Dorna Schmarten

Scheden Heimburg.

This is Deacon Brucke.

- Hello.
- Vladislav the Poker.

We also have

Evan, the Immortal

Princess of the Undead.

You don't have to say my whole name.
You can just say Evan,

it's fine. - VIAGO: Or just Evan.

Who else do we have? Danny.

Hey, Danny. With his
shirt off, as usual.

Cool Mexican tattoos all over his chest.

- Dark greetings, everyone.
- VIAGO: Welcome, Danny.

We also have Paul.

Dark greetings, everyone.
Dark greetings.

Great to be here.

- Rob... Wh... Is Rob here? Is...
- Couldn't make it.

We couldn't get Rob?

Uh, no, I-I talked to Rob, he didn't...

didn't want to come. Want to...
leave it behind.

VIAGO: That's fine. No, he didn't want

- to be here. Kiefer?
- I don't see Kiefer.

Kiefer said that he wanted to
do it, but he couldn't come.

- He was busy?
- Tom and Brad...

- VLADISLAV: Tom, not... No.
- VIAGO: Not interested.

- Tom and Bra... Well...
- VIAGO: Not into it.

They're not committed like us.

It's just an availability thing.

- Well, who is here?
- VIAGO: Calling in via Skype,

we have Wesley over
there, the day-walker.

TILDA: Wesley!

- VIAGO: Hey, Wesley.
- Is this working?

- VIAGO: Look at him then...
- Oh, God, not this f*cking guy.

He is a vampire k*ller!

Hey, he is half vampire.

His opinion still counts.

Yeah, well, I'm only listening
to half his opinion.

(hisses)

- DANNY: Look at him in the sunlight.
- VLADISLAV: Showing off.

- Can you hear me?
- Wesley, can you hear us?

- Hey, can you hear me?
- VLADISLAV: There's a lag.

The Skype seems glitchy.

Hello?

- Push the mute button.
- TILDA: It looks like

a little microphone, it's
got a-got a ring around it.

- I'm pushing it.
- VIAGO: Can you hear us now?

I can hear you. Dark greetings.

Okay. Great.

Moving on. As is vampire law,

we also have a local vampire here

on the council this
evening, Colin Robinson.

Hello.

What the f*ck are you doing here?

Okay, now...

So why are we gathered
on "Statee" Island?

Because one of our brothers
has passed from this world.

Baron Afanas, also known
as The Undying One.

Well, he d*ed. That's why we're here.

Call the witness.

First witness.

- Oh, good grief.
- Oh, sh*t.

Where the hell did she come from?

This is Baron Afanas' familiar.

Witness number one, speak.

(whispers): It's okay.
She doesn't speak.

On the eve of the death of my master...

(whispers): Well, she's speaking now.

These three vampires

- took Baron Afanas...
- (whispers): She's speaking.

And they let him
partake of human food.

(vampires groaning, hissing)

We cannot eat human food. It's gross.

DANNY: The f*ck is wrong with you guys?

BARON'S FAMILIAR: Earlier,

I overheard them plotting to m*rder him.

(vampires gasping, hissing)

She speaks the bullshit.

We simply floated the idea.

You floated the idea of murdering him?

- LASZLO: Yes.
- Not floated, you plotted.

Floating and plotting are very similar.

WESLEY: Wait,

- The Baron is dead?
- VIAGO: Oh, my God, Wesley,

- we're past that now.
- Wesley, catch up, we're past that.

Remove the witness.

- VIAGO: Yeah.
- Thanks a lot.

- Bye, bitch.
- WESLEY: Human food? Like-like-like

hamburger or some-something like that?

VIAGO: Wesley.

We're over the human food thing.
Shut up.

We're not talking about that, Wesley.

You need better Wi-Fi.

Move the computer next
to your router, homes.

Hey, hey, hey. It's not my Wi-Fi.

I got the best Wi-Fi. Okay?

I heard about one familiar
who was made into a vampire,

and now he has a big castle and
he is really successful...

My master says I'm gonna be
a vampire in a few days.

It's only been seven decades.

So, have any of you

met a familiar who's become a vampire?

Not personally,

never met one.

Well, I'll be a vampire soon,
and then you'll know a vampire.

And then you can become my familiar.

Did anyone really like
The Baron, anyway?

.Well, I... no, I didn't like him.
I mean, I didn't...

He was creepy.

He was loco.

I thought he was pretty
rude and a backstabber.

- He was a bit of an assh*le.
- Loco.

He was a psychotic madman.

Aren't we all, though? A little bit?

DEACON: He was a whackjob,

he was crazy, but rules are rules.

- VIAGO: Now what?
- Bring in the other witness.

VIAGO: Now let us call the next witness.

LASZLO: What other witness?

PAUL: Another witness.

VIAGO: Witness number whatever-it-is.

- LASZLO: Oh, my life.
- Guillermo.

VIAGO: Who's this
delicious-looking thing?

What is this? Is this-is this lunch?

- NADJA: Yes, it's lunch.
- No, it's not lunch.

It's lunch.

GUIDE: This is one of
their familiars, council.

He bears witness.

Did these vampires three

m*rder The Baron?

No, they did not.

Did they "float" it?

They discussed it, but
they-they were just talking.

They weren't going to really do it.

VLADISLAV: So who m*rder*d The Baron?

Um...

They... It was I. I-I k*lled him.

- You did it?
- Yes.

(stifled laugh)

It was I. I did it.

Okay. Unlikely.

Don't take offense, but you
don't seem like someone

who would be capable
of k*lling a vampire.

- But I did it.
- Uh, hard to believe.

- Well, I did.
- From maybe a tougher-looking guy,

- I'd believe it, but...
- TILDA: I think you're lying

- to protect your master.
- VIAGO: Of course he is.

This little guy couldn't k*ll a vampire.

No, it was, it was me. I opened
the door and it was dawn

and then the sun came in and...

(stammers) and then it happened.

That sounds very made-up.

VIAGO: I mean, I don't know, guys.

None of us really liked The Baron,

so maybe we just k*ll
this cute little guy

and then let the other three go.

Send his soul to hell.

Does anyone else feel like having

- a cheeky little snack?
- Sneaky snack?

- (vampires hissing)
- VLADISLAV: What do you think, Wesley?

Who is this m*therf*cker now?
This glasses m*therf*cker?

PAUL: It's lunch, Wesley.

- Lunch.
- Oh, yeah.

No!

NANDOR: I cannot abide by this.

- (exhales): Oh.
- Get to the point.

- Have you got a point to make?
- Listen to me.

- We're all listening.
- You got... Everyone's listening.

Everyone's like...

Everyone has stopped
what they were doing,

we were all about to
chomp down on this guy,

and then you said, "Oh,
I'm gonna say something."

- Speak.
- It was we...

- NADJA: No.
- Who k*lled The Baron.

We thought that! That's what we thought.

- We-we...
- We were all discussing that.

TILDA: You have committed

premeditated vampicide.

Pass the judgment, Tilda.

TILDA: I pronounce these three

guilty.

Raise your fangs, all who agree.

(vampires hissing)

(cries)

The punishment is

they will be k*lled in the same manner

that their victim was:

exposed to sunlight.

- Ooh!
- VIAGO: Ow, Chihuahuas.

(snarls)

Man, that's f*cking rough.

You gonna help us, Colin Robinson?

f*ck can I do?

GUIDE: Follow me to your doom.

Don't worry.

I've coordinated a secret escape plan.

Bat!

NADJA: Laszlo, you f*cking assh*le!
How could...

- How could...
- Ludwig, get him.

Dan, get her.

Watch the hands, Mr. Hands!

f*cking hell!

Release my blade.

- Ooh.
- Is it welded on there, or...?

Well, it's for decoration, really.

- Thank you, Ludwig, very good.
- f*ck me.

What is that? Uh... Hey!

He's a vampire, he couldn't
get an a* off a wall.

Well, you should see it.

It's, like, welded on
there or something.

(sighs)

We have to find a way out of here.

This is the thing where we wa... Okay,

I broke this, turned right, and
then we turned left to the...

- (roars)
- (screams)

- Stay back!
- (screams)

Oh...

(groaning)

(quietly): It was an accident.

It was an accident. It was an accident.

It was an accident!

So, they're being sent
into a well, and, uh,

the sun's going to slowly come up,

- and then they'll burn to death.
- It's a very horrible way to die.

- Very dramatic way to die.
- (chuckles): Yes.

♪

(birds chirping)

(Laszlo, Nandor, and Nadja screaming)

That's so macabre.

They could have at least cleared them up

before putting us in here.

(yelping, panting)

(screaming)

I wish I had made more
of my leadership skills.

I could have ruled many more countries

instead of dying in a
well with two perverts.

(mouths)

I was Jack the Ripper.

I've never told anyone that before.

And I wish I'd made love more.

Well, you did that a lot. A lot.

- I suppose I did.
- Yeah, a-a lot.

I miss my horse John.

I wish I was better to him.
And to you both.

That's very kind of you,
Nandor, to say that, and, um,

I know we haven't got on
over the years, but, uh...

Nope, that's it.

I hate to say it, but I
think it's gonna hurt.

- f*cking Colin Robinson.

- Oh, sh*t.
- No! No!

- Save me! Oh, Gregor, I love you!
- No! No!

Gregor!

- Oh, my love, my love...
- (screams) I'm burning!

(Nadja screaming)

(gasping, panting)

- I-It is an eclipse.
- What is that?

Hey, dudes. It's me, Colin
Robinson, your roommate.

(groans)

- (whispers): Colin Robinson?
- COLIN: Yeah,

Guillermo's here, too. He was
running around, peeing himself.

I didn't pee myself, Master.

- He was freaked out.
- No, I wasn't.

So, anyway, I, uh, I was
walking by this hardware store

and I says to myself,
"Colin, you should go in

and, uh, see if they have any
umbrellas for the well."

Made sure to keep the receipt,
I'm gonna probably take it back.

You can do that on non-food items.

- Is he zapping our energy?
- He's taking advantage of us.

- Don't do that.
- Shut up.

Do you not want me to stay?
I can... I'll go.

- No, no, no, no, no! No!
- No, don't do that! No!

(chuckles) Just giving you guys guff.

Yeah, I'm gonna save you.

You guys awake?

- (bats screeching)
- Hello?

(chuckles): Oh, no, a roller
coaster for vampires.

(laughs)

- Oh, no, oh, no! Roller coaster again.
- Stop it, Colin Robinson.

And sorry about the camera crew
at the bottom of the well.

You're gonna want to get
them out sooner than later.

They're in-they're in grave danger.

- You had a heck of a day, too, huh?
- Yeah.

- How long have you been with us?
- Ten years.

I guess that's the whole deal, right?

That, you know, you work for him,

and he eventually turns you
into a, uh, a vampire?

Yeah.

That's the deal.
