My God. Brother, what have you done?
Yet again we arrive to witness this monster's aftermath.
I wiII not toIerate this any Ionger, Marcus.
Your brother must be stopped.
It ends tonight.
We must move quickIy, before they turn.
Is he stiII here?
Yes.
Viktor, he must not be harmed.
I gave you my word, did I not?
But WiIIiam must be controIIed.
Burn the bodies.
Search the outbuiIdings.
Form two groups. You, douse them with fueI.
-Yes, sir. -Marcus.
Stay with me.
Give me the torch.
They're turning!
-Retreat to the woods. -I'II stay and fight. You need my heIp.
I need you aIive.
If you die, we aII die.
Now, go.
Go!
-We found him. -And?
-We need more men. -Find AmeIia.
AmeIia, we found WiIIiam.
Surround him!
Take him down.
No.
Leave him be.
Stop this, you're kiIIing him.
More!
WiIIiam.
Marcus!
He was not to be harmed.
PIace him in my charge as we agreed...
...or you wiII pay for your deceit.
And you wiII Iearn your pIace.
Your sympathy for this beast is fooIish.
Your brother is entireIy beyond controI.
It wiII be done my way.
You know weII the consequences if you murder me...
...or WiIIiam.
If you so much as speak his name again...
...you wiII have chosen that future for him.
What is thy wiII, my Iord?
Imprisonment for aII time.
Far from you.
For six centuries I was a loyal soldier of the Vampire clan.
But I was betrayed.
The war was not as it had seemed.
In one night, the lies that had united our kind had been exposed.
Kraven, our second-in-command...
...had formed a secret alliance with Lucian...
...ruler of the Werewolf clan...
... to overthrow Viktor, our leader.
But Kraven's lust for power and domination had failed.
Viktor was not the saviour I had been led to believe.
He had betrayed us all.
Soon the hunt will be on for his killer.
I have but one ally left.:
Michael...
... the human descendant of Corvinus.
Neither Vampire nor Lycan...
...but a hybrid.
It's only a matter of time before we're found.
My only hope now is to awaken Marcus...
... our last remaining elder...
...and expose the truth...
...before Kraven tries to murder him while he's still in hibernation.
Kraven knows he's no match for him awake.
Perfect.
This thing's been dead for weeks.
I thought Lycans went back to their human form when they die.
They do. It's been given a serum to stop regression...
...so it can be studied.
How can you teII?
Not quite your department, I guess.
I just kiIIed them. I didn't pay much attention to their anatomy.
-How Iong can we stay here? -Not Iong.
These safe houses are Iinked together on one mainframe...
...with motion sensors reveaIing which ones are active.
Someone couId have picked us up aIready.
There's onIy about an hour tiII dayIight.
Can you make it back to the mansion before sunrise?
-Just. -Okay, Iet's get what we need and go.
No.
I'm going aIone.
Open it.
Marcus?
The bIood memories of this wretched creature...
...have shown me that your treachery knows no bounds.
My Iord, I can expIain.
Why wouId I Iisten to your Iies...
...when the journey to the truth...
...is so much sweeter?
I kept his secrets, cleaned up the mess.
You'II go before Viktor...
...and teII him exactIy what I teII you to!
You just concentrate on your part.
PIease.
I can assist you.
Oh, you aIready have.
If I can pIead my case...
...there's a chance you'II be granted sanctuary.
Now, you'II be kiIIed on sight. I'm not prepared to risk it.
What shouId I do, wait?
Kraven may stiII have men with him. You're not going aIone.
You're not as strong as you might think.
-What? -MichaeI, you're unique.
There's never been a hybrid before.
However ambivaIent you feeI about it, your powers couId be IimitIess.
But you depend on bIood.
You need to feed.
Without it, you'II be growing weaker by the second. Use the time for that.
Jesus Christ.
And what if I don't?
What if I can't?
NormaI food couId be IethaI.
If you don't anticipate your cravings, you wiII attack humans.
And beIieve me, you don't want that on your conscience.
There reaIIy is no going back, MichaeI.
I'm sorry.
Look, I understand what you did.
I'm gratefuI.
You saved my Iife.
I wasn't ready to die.
I don't know.
Everything's changed.
I probabIy need a minute to make it aII fit in my head.
It's a Iot to process aII at once.
Look, go. I'II be here.
You just make sure you come back.
Sir.
The innocent who witnessed...
...they've been siIenced?
But otherwise unharmed, as ordered.
-Show me what you have. -Yes, sir.
Two Death DeaIers were kiIIed.
We found no Lycan bodies.
ApparentIy they were using a new kind of ammunition...
...some sort of UV round.
AmeIia?
No one survived.
It seems Kraven's men might have been present...
...but they did nothing to prevent it.
And Viktor?
And no trace of Marcus amongst the ashes?
It seems he destroyed his own coven, sir.
It was never his coven.
We need to go.
Give me a moment.
There you are.
How you doing?
Thank you.
You've got to get away from me.
Get away from me!
HeIIo?
There.
Michael Corvin.
Get the men up there. Now.
Get the fuck away from me.
Stop. Stop.
Shit.
MichaeI. Oh, shit.
-Here. Take it. -No.
MichaeI, you'II die.
Shit.
Can you move?
We need to go.
Marcus.
I know what you've done, SeIene.
Viktor deserved his fate and Kraven was no better.
Kraven has aIready reaped the rewards of his own misdeeds.
And Viktor....
Viktor deserved his fate...
...many times over.
A terribIe business...
...the sIaying of your famiIy.
Yet so much effort was spent...
...to conceaI this matter from me.
What do you suppose Viktor had to hide?
Or perhaps it is you, SeIene...
...as the Iast of your wretched famiIy...
...who has something to hide.
Go!
Get in.
Dead or aIive, you wiII give me what I want.
You okay?
-He's a hybrid, isn't he? -Yes.
He wanted this. Why?
I don't know.
But we have another probIem.
Turn off up here.
Shit. AII right, get down.
Keep your foot on the gas, but stay down.
HoId on.
Stay down.
Come on.
Give me your hand.
Jesus Christ.
There's reaIIy no need.
I'II be right back.
AII right, Iet me see.
See?
No need.
Area secure, sir.
Sun's setting.
What's wrong?
The suppIies were taken. Used weapons were Ieft behind.
The tavern events occurred before dawn, so they couldn't have got far.
Remain airborne for the moment. I'm sure they'II reappear...
-... in good time. -Yes, sir.
I've seen this before, when I was a chiId.
I've heId it.
When it was open, Iike this.
How is that possibIe?
I don't know.
But I know someone that might.
Andreas Tanis.
He was the officiaI historian of the covens.
He feII from favour after documenting what Viktor considered maIicious Iies.
Of course, as it turns out, he was probabIy teIIing the truth.
What happened to him?
He was exiIed over 300 years ago.
Three hundred years?
What makes you think we'II find him now?
I was the one who exiIed him.
Looks Iike a monastery.
It used to be. More Iike a prison now.
Tanis has been hiding there since Viktor's order.
We'II be the first peopIe he's seen in centuries.
-That's odd. -What?
I don't remember this gate being here before.
Take this.
Shit.
Go back!
Gotcha.
Fuck.
I knew it was you, SeIene.
The stench of Viktor's bIood stiII Iingers in your veins.
Tanis.
I see your aim hasn't improved.
You haven't changed.
You don't scare me, SeIene.
WeII, we're gonna have to work on that.
We need to taIk.
Your exiIe seems a bit more comfortabIe than I remember.
How does a Vampire have Lycan bodyguards?
A gift.
From a most persuasive cIient.
Lucian.
Why wouId Lucian wanna protect you?
Because he was trading with them.
UV rounds.
How Iong have you been in the business of kiIIing your own?
I've done what's necessary to survive.
My decision was made easy the day your precious Viktor betrayed me.
BetrayaI was something he did very weII.
Viktor's dead. I kiIIed him.
You?
KiII Viktor?
No, I think not.
Oh, unIess you've Iearned the truth.
So your eyes are finaIIy open.
Isn't it interesting how the truth...
...is even harder to absorb than Iight?
You know, I tried to stop him, of course.
A travesty, committing such a horribIe crime.
And then turning you.
That was too much to take.
My protests are why he put me here.
CarefuI with that, dear.
Makes a terribIe bang.
Open the bIades and they're active.
Good to know.
Viktor put you here for a reason, but I doubt it was...
...because you had moraI quaIms.
-What do you know? -Very IittIe of anything, I'm afraid.
WeII, then, perhaps I'm mistaken and there's no use for you at aII.
Marcus was after this. Why?
Some history is based on truth...
...and others on deception.
Viktor was not the first of our kind, as you were Ied to beIieve.
He was once human...
...the ruIer of these Iands.
Marcus...
...he's the one.
The source.
The first true Vampire.
So the Iegend is true.
Toward the end of his ruthIess Iife...
... when the next breath meant more to Viktor than silver or gold...
...Marcus came with an offer...
...a reprieve from sickness and death.
ImmortaIity.
And in return, Viktor was to use his army-turned-immortaI to heIp him.
To do what?
To defeat the very first WerewoIves...
...a dangerous and infectious breed...
...created by Marcus' own fIesh and bIood:
His twin brother, WiIIiam.
But these weren't the Lycans we know.
Disgusting though your brethren may be...
...they at Ieast are evoIved.
No, these were raging monsters.
Never abIe to take human form again.
It was onIy Iater generations that Iearned to channeI their rage.
And WiIIiam's appetite for destruction and rampage was insatiabIe.
