-and as long as you comply with the Corvae Corp officials as they take your blood and tissue samples,
there'll be no need to taser you. Good night and good luck, Silas!
[Super professional SNN signing off music]
Aaagghh!
Ugh...
Who would have thought that as far as evil goes, vampire is way down the list from PR consultant?
I cannot wait to get the dirt on her from Vordenberg.
[On Laura's computer: "I've never felt so scandalized"]
["That's because you've never been scandalous enough to scandal!"]
Hey. What are you doing all the way over there?
Wanna come cuddle and see if Olivia is going to run away with Jake this season?
No. But you can come over here.
I don't know how you can be so calm,
knowing that Mattie and Vordenberg are out there.
Getting ready to do something awful.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Because you sound broody.
I'm just thinking about things.
(Reading:) "Those who prefer their principles over their happiness, they refuse to be happy outside of the
conditions they seem to have attached to their happiness."
Sounds light and frothy.
It's comforting.
He understands that love doesn't mean the same thing to everyone.
I think that's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
Hey, Laura?
Yeah?
Could we pretend- just for tonight that if I asked, we'd run away?
We'd find some way to leave and we'd just go. Somewhere without murders or sisters.
We'd sleep in hotel rooms and...
never live in the same city twice.
There would be no one to fail or...
disappoint, or save. It would just be...
You and me in love.
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Mmhmm
But,
our friends need us.
The school needs us.
Maybe we could be happy that way but-
you know we wouldn't even be you and me anymore. We'd just be these,
empty shells who ran away.
Today, gentle viewers, you join me in waiting to meet the elusive Baron Vordenberg.
And I've gotta admit, knowing that he's a potential source of information for the
newspaper kids AND a member of Silas' Board of Governors has us straddling the
hopeful-slash-terrified columns.
Fun bio fact: The Baron is the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson
of the hero who freed Styria from the vampiric scourge.
Well, clearly he did a bang up job. Have fun with that.
Having a pedigreed Van Helsing on our side can't hurt-
[knocks at the door]
Wow. People barge in so much that that sounds... weird.
Fräulein Hollis. Charmed!
I knew a young lady very like you once. A great love affair.
Ended before my voyage to the Hesperides for the golden apples of immortality.
Turned out to be oranges, you know. So no immortality, but lovely juice.
How... fascinating.
So- we are so, so happy to have you here. We know that you were speaking to the Voice of Silas Staff-
Ah yes, yeah yeah. Ambitious. Hard-working young people. Very roll up your sleeves and get the scoop.
Reminded me of the staff in the 1930s. A shame what happened to them.
We're hoping that you could, uh, tell us what you told them...maybe about the Board's plans for the students...
or about why Ms. Belmonde has those Corvae guys drilling in the Anglerfish pit...
Oh, well. My, my. Not the sort of thing for a tres charmante lady like you to meddle in.
No. No. Wouldn't do a thing for me to tell you. Nothing can be done.
But you're on the board.
Mostly as a formality, of course. A nod to the time when the family had more wealth and power.
With one vote, even if I object, they overrule me.
It's been that way for the last forty years. It's quite disappointing, really. Even for the lesser son of greater fathers.
Well maybe if you told us what was going to happen then we could-
No, no. I'm sure whatever Ms. Belmonde's plans are, it's too late to stop them.
It's later than you think. It always is, really.
[a bloodcurdling scream from out in the hall]
Sorry.
Don't mind me. I'm- I'm- I'm just hallucinating.
[from out in the hall] Ms. Perry? Ms. Perry, I am very sorry if I've caused you distress.
Hallucinating what?
Nobody else sees that, right?
The naked vampire I killed last year is not standing behind me, right?
