...which holds unspeakable power.

There can be no such union.

- And to speak of it is heresy.

- We'll see.

Once lucian has injected himself

with michael's blood.

Lucian is dead.

According to whom?

I need you to do something for me.

I can assure you, my child...

...kraven will pay with his life.

Soon, this house will lie in ruins.

- Not before you.

- No, wait. Wait.

You and you alone

will know the truth of this.

If lucian was able to get his hands

on the blood of a pure-born...

...a powerful elder like amelia...

...or yourself...

...and inject it along

with michael's blood...

abomination.

Half-vampire...

...half-lycan, but stronger than both.

I need to speak with kahn.

My lord...

...the council members

have been assassinated.

- What of amelia?

- They bled her dry.

It has already begun.

I'm sorry i doubted you.

Fear not, my child,

absolution will be yours...

...the moment you kill the descendant

of corvinus, this...

...michael.

You've been given an enzyme

to stop the change.

It may take a little time

for the grogginess to dissipate.

That's enough!

Just go and see

what's keeping raze, will you?

I really must apologize.

He's in desperate need

of a lesson in manners.

Speaking of manners,

where are mine? Forgive me.

I'm lucian.

I need to go.

I need to get back.

There's no going back.

There's no going anywhere.

The vampires will kill you on sight.

Just for being what you are.

One of us.

You are one of us.

What are you doing?

- What are you doing?

- Bringing an end to this conflict.

Your war, it has nothing

to do with me.

My war?

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! No!

Sonja!

They forced you to watch her die.

Sonja.

That's what started the war.

I saw it happen as if i were there.

We were slaves once.

The daylight guardians

of the vampires.

I was born in servitude...

...yet i harbored them no ill will.

I even took a vampire for my bride.

It was forbidden...

...our union.

Viktor feared

a blending of the species.

Feared it so much...

...he killed her.

His own daughter...

...burnt alive...

...for loving me.

This is his war...

...viktor's...

...and he's spent the last 600 years...

...exterminating my species.

What are they gonna do to selene?

We have company.

- I thought we had a deal.

- Patience.

Kraven.

These are matters

to be discussed in private.

Please escort our guests downstairs.

The council has been destroyed.

Soon, you will have it all.

Both great covens and an ironclad

peace treaty with the lycans.

Who i trust will not be forgotten

when the spoils are tabulated.

How do you expect me to assume

control now that viktor's awake?

There's no defeating him.

He grows stronger as we speak.

And that is precisely why

i need michael.

If viktor were so easy to dispatch...

...you'd have done it yourself

centuries ago.

Exit shaft! Move it!

Son of a b*tch!

Oh, sh*t!

It's viktor.

Yes.

And if you had done your job,

he'd still be in hibernation.

Where the hell is raze?

Is there another way out?

I guess it didn't occur to you that you'll

have to bleed to pull off this coup.

Don't even think about leaving.

Silver nitrate.

Bet you weren't expecting that.

Come on! Move! Move! Move!

Move! Move!

Lucian.

Selene!

Selene!

Not yet.

I have to get you out.

Viktor's on his way.

And he won't be satisfied

until every lycan's dead.

They'll kill you too,

just for helping me.

I know.

I know what started the war.

That's enough.

You're coming with me!

I hope i live to see

viktor choke the life from you!

I bet you do.

But let me tell you a little something

about your beloved dark father.

He's the one who killed your family.

Not the lycans.

Never could follow his own rules.

Said he couldn't abide the taste

of livestock.

So every once in a while, he went out

and gorged himself on human blood.

I kept his secrets...

...cleaned up the mess.

But it was he...

...who crept room to room...

...dispatching everyone

close to your heart.

But when he got to you...

...he just couldn't bear the thought

of draining you dry.

You, who reminded him so much

of his precious sonja...

...the daughter

he condemned to death.

- Lies.

- Believe what you want.

Now come on.

Your place is by my side.

So be it.

Bite him!

Half-vampire...

...half-lycan...

...but stronger than both.

What the hell are you doing?

You may have killed me...

...cousin.

But my will...

...is done regardless.

Where is he?

Where's kraven?

Forgive me, my child.

It wasn't the lycans.

It was you.

Leave us.

How could you bear my trust...

...knowing that you'd

killed my family?

Yes.

I have taken from you.

But i have given so much more.

Is it not a fair trade, the life i have

granted you? The gift of immortality?

And the life of your daughter?

Your own flesh and blood?

I loved my daughter!

But the abomination growing

in her womb...

...was a betrayal of me

and of the coven!

I did what was necessary

to protect the species...

...as i am forced to do yet again.

No!

Time to die.

Though i cannot predict the future...

...the consequences of tonight

will reverberate through the halls...

...of both great covens

for many years to come.

Two vampire elders

have been slain...

...one by my own hand.

Soon, marcus will take the throne.

And a tide of anger and retribution

will spill out into the night.

Differences will be set aside.

Allegiances will be made.

And soon...

...i will become the hunted.
