00:03I want to show you something.
00:55Good evening, my fellow kindred.
01:00My apologies for disrupting any business or interfering with prior engagements you may have had this evening.
01:05It's unfortunate that the affair that gathers us together tonight is a troubling one.
01:10We are here because the laws that bind our society, the laws that are the fabric of our existence, have
01:17been broken.
01:18As Prince, I am within my rights to grant or deny the kindred of this city the privilege of siring.
01:26Many of you have come to me seeking permission and I have endorsed some of these requests.
01:32However, the accused that sits before you tonight was not refused permission.
01:37Indeed, my permission was never sought at all.
01:40They were caught shortly after the embrace of this child.
01:44It pains me to announce the sentence, as up to tonight I considered the accused a loyal and upstanding member
01:52of our organization.
01:54But as some of you may know, the penalty for this transgression is death.
02:01Know that I am no more adjudicator than I am a servant to the law that governs us all.
02:08Let tonight's proceedings serve as a reminder to our community that we must adhere to the code that binds our
02:15society, lest we endanger all of our blood.
02:21Forgive me.
02:24Let the penalty commence.
02:34Which leads to the fate of the ill-begotten progeny.
02:38Without a sire, most childer are doomed to walk the earth never knowing their place, their responsibility, and most importantly,
02:46the laws they must obey.
02:49Therefore, I have decided that this is bullshit!
03:04If Mr. Rodriguez would let me finish, I have decided to let this kindred live.
03:12They shall be instructed in the ways of our kind and be granted the same rights.
03:17Let no one say I am unsympathetic to the plights and causes of this community.
03:23I thank you all for attending these proceedings, and I hope their significance is not lost.
03:30Good evening.
03:48Your sire.
03:50Tragic.
03:50My apologies.
03:51But you see, there is a strict code of conduct that all of us must... must... adhere to if we
03:59wish to survive.
04:01When someone, anyone breaks these laws, they undermine the well-worn fabric of our centuries-old society.
04:09Understand my predicament.
04:12Allowing you to live makes me directly responsible for your subsequent behaviour.
04:17So, what I'm offering is not generosity, but the opportunity to transcend the fate woven by your sire.
04:27This is your trial.
04:29You will be brought to Santa Monica.
04:31There, you will meet an agent by the name of Mercurio.
04:35He will provide the details of your labour.
04:38I've shown you great clemency.
04:40Prove it was more than a wasted gesture, Fledgling.
04:44Don't come back until you do.
04:47Good evening.
05:02What a scene, man!
05:03Hoo-wee!
05:05Then they just plop you out here like a naked baby in the woods.
05:09How about that?
05:10Ah, look, you know, it's probably a lot for you to take in, so, uh, why don't you let me
05:15show you the ropes.
05:16What do you say?
05:23I'm Jack.
05:25All right, uh...
05:31Rice is stuffy in there, huh?
05:34This is much better.
05:35Now, wink!
05:35You look w-
05:37You look w-
05:37BOMB!
05:38Go down or run?
05:39All right.
05:41Ha-ha!
05:42Now go f-
05:42You look w-
05:54You look w-
06:11Oh, yeah be it, man.
06:12Good night, you know, Journalism.
06:12BEGERI
06:41You
07:12I said, I'm getting ready.
07:14Well, they're down.
07:16You guys!
07:58What's wrong?
08:25Yeah, whenever you're done, sweet cheeks, we can move this show along.
09:08Okay, let's go.
