0:08

impact. My name is Darcy

0:11

Dunraven. We meet the defender

0:13

of one small community of survivors

0:16

and her friend Felix. He has like a massive

0:19

crush on you. You know adults don't

0:21

talk like that, right? Their cloistered

0:23

world is upended by the arrival of Penelope,

0:26

a secretive vampire with an unusual request.

0:29

Because there's something here I need more

0:32

than your blood. Asylum.

0:35

But after one

0:36

fatal encounter with a powerful

0:38

vampire called Rook, it's

0:40

Darcy who finds herself at a crossroads.

0:44

Do you want to live again? Yes.

0:49

And as Darcy struggles with what it means

0:51

to have become the very thing she always

0:54

swore to fight against.

0:55

Did you know what I would become? I

0:59

knew you were special. Her

1:02

younger sister Hope becomes an unlikely

1:04

ally to the castle's new vampire prisoner.

1:07

If you'd just tell them what it

1:09

was you were hiding, then they wouldn't hide me. And

1:12

when it finds her. Her

1:14

name is Callistrata. I'm looking

1:16

for someone. The cunt who assassinated

1:18

my daughter. Hope and Penelope

1:21

join forces in defense

1:23

of the castle.

1:24

On three. One, two, three!

1:30

As Darcy intervenes to dispatch

1:32

the vampires. You

1:39

bit me! And

1:41

in so doing, inadvertently reveals

1:44

the hidden depths of her own powers.

1:46

My god. You

1:49

killed her. With one bite.

1:52

Uncovering the truth behind her role

1:55

in a forbidden prophecy. Foretelling

1:58

the demise of the vampire queen.

1:59

The first darkling child of

2:02

the long winter born shall be the last,

2:04

for in her wake comes the hope of

2:07

spring.

2:09

Determined to hide Darcy from the council,

2:11

Rook prepares to go south

2:14

to confess to Kalistrata's murder

2:16

and sends Darcy away. Go

2:19

to the one who made me. She's

2:21

in county entry. There

2:23

are others there. The Resistance.

2:26

As the dust clears, Darcy bids

2:29

her sister farewell. You're

2:31

always the one who was gonna save the world.

2:33

I was just the one who was filling in.

2:35

No. Leaving

2:37

Hope to step into her shoes as

2:40

the castle's defender. You're

2:42

the one who's going to rebuild it. But

2:45

Hope is not alone in her new mission.

2:48

Penelope! I got the alert.

2:51

More from Soho?

2:51

Yeah, sounds like. And

2:55

nor, as it happens, is

2:57

Darcy. I got you. I

2:59

got you. Easy, Felix. Darcy,

3:02

did it work? Am I? Yeah, you

3:04

are. For at last, she understands. How the hell are you gonna

3:06

do it? Saving the whole bloody

3:08

world? What

3:15

she's meant to do. Easy.

3:19

I'm going to kill the Queen.
