Mark Costa Araujo: "You were supposed to support me, not be against me, you traitor!"
(Police trying to break open the door to his room)
Mark Costa Araujo: "You stupid, shit-ass traitor! Why is this world so cruel..!"
Julia: "Mark, surrender yourself!"
Mark Costa Araujo: "I got no time for the weak, fuck off!"
Julia: "You've made this mess yourself, but you're only 16 years old..! If you surrender peacefully, we could revert your death sentence..!"
Mark Costa Araujo: "Hahahaha! I don't fear death! I'm a god!
Julia: "Mark!"
Mark Costa Araujo: "Sadly enough for you, a cruel one! That kills traitors!"
(Matheus flinches)
Julia: "Mark, I have my orders! Surrender, or I'll have to forcefully stop you!"
Mark Costa Araujo: "Kill me, you mean? Ahhh, what a nice cliche: the villain dies at the end, hahahahahaha! Another story without creativity! How about a plot twist instead where YOU kill YOURSELF!"
Julia: "I'm getting tired of this..!"
(Julia loads her gun)
Mark Costa Araujo: "Oh, poor Julia, her work tires her! Hahahahahahaha! Kill me, then! Shoot me, if you dare, do your job!"
Mark Costa Araujo: "..You're not gonna shoot me! You don't got the nerves, you're not a killer. You'll just stand there and let me shoot every one of your stupid police buddies, I know you will!"
(Door is kicked open)
(Julia shoots Mark)Mark Costa Araujo: "..You.. shot me. You're a.. murderer..!"

(Junior brushes his fingers through her hair)
Junior: "YOU are beautiful.. beautiful and wonderful."
Junior: "With you around, everything changed for the better. Life has color, sadness disappeared, and there is only room for joy, hope, and love. Your smile is a ray of sunshine, your presence a gift to anyone who gets to enjoy it. I love you more than words can say.."
Junior: "You won my heart and since then it's been completely yours. You took a piece of me, but I believe you gave me a piece of you too. One beautiful heart we share, as for the most passionate love. Thank you for choosing me. You've made me the happiest person in the world!"

(Click "Expand" to read this chapter)>Zaga Monteii: "Here's number 14. Let's go."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "My thanks. Let's keep our guards up, though, I'm getting an odd scent."
Big Beast: "Ahh, Zaga..!"
Zaga Monteii: "..."
Big Beast: "Can't I even turn my back without you running off to some other guy? That's interesting."
Zaga Monteii: "You got it wrong, Big, this guy's here for you!"
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "There's that scent again.. This is going to be bit of a problem; he's been infected by a werewolf."
(Big Beast throws a lamp and Ricardi dodges)
(They fight)

(Ricardi picks up his eyeballs and throws them to the other side of the room)
Annie Specht: "Yuck."
Zaga Monteii: "Morbid."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "This brute's mouth smells like the blood we found, he's definitely one of the co-owners of the Back Street Walker Nightclub."
(Cell phone rings)
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "Hello?
Marines Costa Araujo: "Son.. Am I interrupting? What's the status?"
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "Hi, mother. Um, I managed to get one of the club's co-owners."
Marines Costa Araujo: "Good, good. You've done well, that'll be all."
(Ricardi hangs up)
Annie Specht: "..She has good timing."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "She's my mother."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "..But.. Everyone, look over there! Is that a picture of Cora? What's it doing here?"
Annie Specht: "1845, it says. Could be, but she looks off.."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "I recognize that old man next to her, that's Valder Morbius, the wizard. This makes no sense."
Annie Specht: "This looks like Cora Steiner, but it's not her. She was pregnant at the time this photo was taken and this woman isn't.."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "Someone set me up, clearly. It wasn't Big Beast, he's just an accomplice, but Valder and this stranger are a different story..!"
Annie Specht: "Then let's see what this other story's about!"
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "I love you, Annie."
(Ricardi gives Annie a kiss)

(Click "Expand" to read this chapter)>Ricardi Costa Araujo: "Let go of my two daughters and wife, otherwise I will kill you!"
Padeca Costa: "A dog protecting a dog and her pups..! The only thing I've seen in my life that's more pathetic than that was the birth of the pup I forced upon her!"
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "..I don't know why everyone looks up to you, you are an empty shell! Know that if you touch them, I will kill you!"
Padeca Costa: "I never seen something like this.. becoming a father changed you. I asked you to kill Cora Steiner, you refused, then your mother had to instead.. and the baby she carried inside."
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "I'll maul you to death!"
(Fights)
Ricardi Costa Araujo: "Your death will be my revenge for all the pain you've caused me!"

(He gets up and flies to the capital of Salvatore)
(Scene changes to the capital, where the rest of the crew is)
Ricardi: "Did you know me and my family founded Salvatore, Annie? Of course, the Dwaynes were there too."
Annie: "I see."
Ricardi: "I hope you understand what I'm telling you."
Annie: "Yes."
(Ricardi clears his throat)
Ricardi: "Good.. I've never told anyone else about my hybrid nature.. but it's fine. Everything is fine now.. except for my missing daughter, but.."
(Annie caresses his face)
Annie: "I'll find our daughter and take care of her as well. Thank you for sharing this with me."
(She gives him a kiss)
Marines: "We'll keep our eyes open for the girl, but we're here to find Marcellus."
Annie Specht: "Marcellus?"
Marines: "Yes. Their brother.."
(Marines wipes her forehead with a trembling hand)
Marines: "Before we do so, though.. I'm feeling a bit under the weather. It's been a long time since I've had blood."
Ricardi: "Don't speak of blood in my presence, please."
Maninho: "..."
Clebi: "I know, we're all hungry, but we have to wait a little longer before we can feed."
Annie: "I noticed there're few animals in the area."
Clebi: "Indeed, it's been like this for years. Back in 1909, there was an extreme famine the hybrid residents of Salvatore were struggling with and the area never really recovered."
(Ricardi suddenly speeds away and disappears into the forest)
Annie: "..Ricardi? Why did he run off?
Clebi: "Oh boy."
Maninho: "I smell it too..!"

Maninho: "But I'm so hungry and there's a human..!"
Clebi: "You smell nothing..! Sit down!"
Annie: "I-Is Ricardi going to attack someone? I have to go after him!"
Clebi: "No, it'd be better if you stayed here. Ricardi is nothing but a common monster when hunger takes over, he'll turn against you."
Annie: "Every monster possesses humanity and everyone has someone or something to hold onto! I'm going after him, he'll come to his senses when he sees me, he needs me!"
(Annie runs off)
Clebi: "Hold on a minute..!"
Maninho: "You think she'd be saver around me, Clebi? Heheh! Heh!"
Clebi: "Maninho, SIT DOWN, I said! Your mind is starting to deteriorate, don't do anything you'll end up regretting!"
Clebi: "..Darn it all."
(Clebi watches Annie disappear out of sight)
(Scene showing Ricardi's fangs in someone's neck)

Ricardi: (In his mind) "Go ahead.. Fear me.. My claws are made for killing.. It just happens, every time again."
(Close-up of Ricardi's fangs)
(A memory intrudes his mind)
Ricardi: (In his mind) "Who.. who is this woman I'm remembering..? Annie.."
(Close-up of Ricardi's fangs)

(Close-up of Ricardi's fangs)
(Scene goes back to the crew)
Maninho: "Raah, I can't wait any longer, I want.. NEED to kill everyone in Salvatore!"
Clebi: "Shut up, fool!"
(Manhino grabs his head and falls to the floor)
Maninho: "Ugg, my head..! Anatasha.. my lost bride.. help me.""
Mutley: "Hahahahaha, the blood is taking me over!"
Marines: "Is everyone losing their minds around here? Have some restraint, stop riling each other up..!"
Clebi: "It's like they're possessed!"
Mutley: I'm...trying! Aagh, Amara, my beautiful Amara, help me with this damned hunger! I need you!"
Samuel: "Hahahahaha! Blood! I need blood! Hahahahahahahaha!"
Clebi: "You shut up, too!"
Samuel: "I'll take any of you if I have to!"

Samuel: "Who dares..!"
Samuel: "..Corinha? Is that.. You're alive? How!"
(Scene of Robi and Samara making out)
(Robi stops)
Robi Fonseca: "This can't go on, I am sorry. I discovered I'm a Dwaynesian descendant, Samara. My parents informed me. In fact, I'm a pure blood; they appear to be distant cousins."
Samara Forbes: "..If you're telling me this, that means you don't plan on staying committed to me, doesn't it? How long have you known? Has your love been an act all this time?"
Robi Fonseca: "I wasn't sure how to break the news to you."
Samara Forbes: "Puh!"
(Samara pushes him away)
Samara Forbes: "If this is how it is, then bye, Robi."
Robi Fonseca: "It is how it is. I'm destined to be with a queen. I am sorry."
Samara Forbes: "Keep your pitiful sorry..!"
