03x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

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

By declaring your own scion,

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

Can't you at least respect
my position?

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.

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.

I heard.

Diana's with Matthew now.

One day, perhaps soon,
Gallowglass...

...you will have to
walk away from her.

You're the one who would learn
how it all began,

the blood,
the death, the fear.

Timothy ?

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 better make sure
that doesn't happen.

Congratulations on the new arrivals.

Mother and babies
doing well?

As far as I am aware.

Do we know
what they are yet?

Babies, I believe.

They're also a living, breathing
violation of The Covenant,

the offspring of a powerful witch
and high-born vampire.

The power...

they might possess...

is unprecedented.

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

Any thr*at to the existing order

must be extinguished

- by you. - I won't k*ll
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.

- Hi.
- Are these my grandchildren?

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 have missed you.

Not a care in the world.

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

Oh she's just hungry.

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 w*r.

They're our allies
against The Covenant.

Baldwin?

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.

Sheisse.

Here we are.

What?

You and I are going to do lots
of important work together...

My Diana.

No.

Matthew.

Diana.

You and I are going to do lots
of important work together.

Diana.

Matthew.

Just give me an hour,

that's all I ask for.

You've got a big day tomorrow.

Shh-shh!

You're gonna wake up
the whole chateau.

It may be too late for that.

Sorry.

No need to apologize to me.

I haven't slept for years.

Oh, she's hungry again.

I know that, Marthe.

I'm sorry.

I just...

Now I feel like a failure.

I just can't seem
to satisfy her.

Any milk that
she does get, she just...

She just brings it
back up again.

Matthew thinks
it's too soon to worry.

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 okay.

I like her.

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 going to 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 k*ll him.

I know what you think.

Why didn't I k*ll him when,

when he was doing
what he did to me?

I don't think that.

I do.

All the time.

Oh, Jack.

Whose blood is that?

Stay here with Philip.

What the hell's
going on in here?

Marthe,

I'd like to speak
with Diana alone.

What are you doing?

I'm feeding
your daughter.

She was hungry,

so I gave her
what she needed.

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 k*lling rage.

We have more resources
than other parents.

- I could spellbind her.
- No.

Well, 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.

How does this look
for a vampire christening?

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

I'll 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,

everyday it gets
afresh and stronger.

He's a witch, isn't he?

I don't think
it's quite that simple.

But his witch DNA
does seem to be dominant.

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

I think he already has.

Lena.

Your heart's b*ating quickly.

Are you dreaming of me?

That's good.

Gabriella.

Shall we get to work?

It is my right
as a De Clermont.

No more, please, no.

No, no!

Unlock without key.

Let me be free.

Unlock without key.

Let me be free.

That's it,
straight to Matthew.

I never thought I'd see the inside
of this place.

Welcome.

You must be Marcus' 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,
so good to meet you.

- Geraldine.
- Marcus. - Hi.

- Welcome back.
- Hello, Marthe.

You brought a friend?

A colleague...

and a friend.

Chris Roberts.

The scientist.

Pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure's all mine.

Well, enjoy yourselves
while you can.

Thank you.

- Everything okay?
- Sure.

I'm 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.

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

Half a century or so?

Sounds about right.

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

Madam.

Hey.

How does it feel
to be back here?

It's hard.

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.

- Is that your daddy?
- 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.

Yes, Gerbert always has
spies watching us.

I thought I 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.

He's not here,

Gallowglass.

Who will stand as godparent
for these children?

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 Savior.

May his power strengthen you

who lives and reigns
for ever and ever.

I baptize 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 marvelous 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 recognize 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 recognize their potential.

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.
- 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.

They are De Clermonts.

And I am the head of
the De Clermont family.

Not... if you recognize...
my... scion.

I refuse to recognize 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.

- This is between the brothers.
- Get the babies back to the house.

Submit or I'll k*ll you!

Never!

It would please me, brother,

if you would reconsider
my respectful request

to establish my own scion.

- Let me go!
- Well, let me go!

I can't!

Please.

I can't let you go, Matthew.
You have m*rder in your blood.

Those children, Matthew,

do they have
blood rage, too?

Baldwin, enough!

Diana...
Diana, no!

End it, Baldwin.

Or I will.

All right.

All right.

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.

What if I gave you my word

that any member of our scion
with blood rage

can be brought under control.

Would you then recognize Matthew
as 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 recognize 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,

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.

_

I apologize 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 legitimized 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 misdemeanors
and crimes.

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.

- 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.
- 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?

Not an abduction,
more a quarantining

until we know if they constitute
a thr*at.

- 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.

Hi.

That's magic.

Yeah.

I know.

I want you to know that magic
can be beautiful.

Ysabeau needs
you downstairs.

There's a witch
seeking your help.

Matthew,

this is Lena.

Do you need my help, Lena?

No.

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

- How do you know Benjamin?
- 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.

He 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 apologize.

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.

This is my fault.

I'm going to find Benjamin

and I'm going to end him.

You weren't to know.

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.

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, that'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.

I'll go speak to them now.

Benjamin.

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?

I do.

Welcome to the Knights of Lazarus.

I want you to know that

I am also with you in this.

I never doubted it.

Oh, I did.

After Hugh was k*lled,
I was happy 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's 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 w*apon.

If something goes wrong,
I want you to promise me

that you'll 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.

Let's finish what we started.

- He's gone to find Benjamin.

He's gone alone?

The balance of power will rest
with the vampires, as it should.

You have my support.

If Diana can't find the book

and Matthew
can't stop Benjamin,

things could go
very wrong very quickly,

and we need to be
ready to leave.
