Philippe has been dead for decades
and yet his disease-riddled family
still wears him like a shield
against their hypocrisy.
Baldwin has capitulated. The family's authority is compromised.
So, forgive my jubilant mood,
but it has taken centuries
to position my pieces on the board.
Centuries?
Ever since I met Benjamin Fuchs.
Philippe thought Matthew'd killed him, when he'd actually.
weaponized him.
Imagine the sheer poetry
of Benjamin
being the last thing Philippe saw
before he lost his mind.
Never let it be said I didn't capitalize on opportunities
as they presented themselves.

Father.
You're finally here.
BENJAMIN: Lena turned out to be an excellent messenger.
You didn't concoct this pathetic charade just to get me here.
This is everything to do with your addiction to cruelty
and obscenity.
That you would choose this place.
BENJAMIN: Poor Philippe.
You know,
they could hear his screams
in every room of this hospital.
Some of my best work.
If it's any consolation,
I was well rewarded with the information I got from him.
Even though it was worthless?
You got nothing of value from Philippe.
He saw to that.
All this time
you've been living a lie,
a narrative that you've invented for yourself, Benjamin.
And what might that be?
The wronged son!
Abandoned, damaged,
paying back his father's sins in pain.
I see what you did here. I see what you did to those women.
I am...
exactly what you made me.
It's too late to regret that now.
My only regret,
my son,
is that I didn't end you.
BEJAMIN: No.
You didn't have the courage to kill me outright.
Instead, you destroyed me,
one day, one drop of blood at a time.
Made me into a vampire
and abandoned me in a city crowded with warmbloods.
Do you remember what it feels like,
that new hunger for blood?
How it cuts you in two?
How strong the blood rage is when you're first changed?
Yes.
And did you know you'd pass on your affliction?
I prayed for it.
I wanted you to be cursed for your betrayal of my family.
Blood rage isn't a curse, Father.
It's a gift.
The only thing of worth
you gave me.
MATTHEW: Tell me,
I'm intrigued. Why now?
I had to wait.
For what?
For you to be happy.
What would be the point in ending a miserable life?
Then Diana gave birth.
To know
that it was still possible for a witch to bear the children
of a blood-raged vampire
such as myself.
I look forward to my next meeting with Diana very much.
Oh, Father,
in my experience,
witches are so...
fragile.
