Tanis quotes from Underworld: Evolution (2006)

Gotcha!

I knew it was you, Selene. The stench of Viktor's blood still lingers in your veins.

Toward the end of his ruthless life, when the next breath meant more to Viktor than silver or gold, Marcus came with a offer: a reprieve from sickness and death. Immortality. And in return, Viktor was to use his army, turned immortal, to help him.

To defeat the very first Werewolves, a dangerous and infectious breed, created from Marcus's own flesh and blood: his twin brother, William. But these weren't the Lycans we know. (To Michael) Disgusting though your brethren may be, they at least have evolved. No, these were raging monsters, never able to take Human form again. It was only these later generations that learned to channel their rage. And William's appetite for destruction and rampage was insatiable. He had to be stopped. And so once Viktor's army was turned... the legions of Vampires under his control... tracked down and destroyed the animals... then captured William... and locked him away. Viktor's prisoner for all time.

For the same reason that Viktor never conspired against Marcus: Fear. He was warned that should Marcus ever killed... all those in his bloodline would follow him to the grave.

Yes. Yes, a clever deception... but one Viktor was hardly willing to put to the test. And so Marcus was protected... at all costs.

You should know. It's William's Prison. The prison your Father was commissioned to build.

The Winter of Lucian's Escape. Your Father knew too much. Or too much for Viktor to risk... especially when Lucian... had the key, (holds up Sonja's Pendent,) to William's cell.

Yes. The only one still living who has seen its location. Oh, Viktor realized you'd be too young to remember explicitly... but Marcus knows that the memory... and therefore the exact location of William's Prison... is hidden away in your blood.

Well, one was... one was kept in plain sight... draped around his daughter's neck... right there for you to see.

Kept with Viktor at all times.

Within him. Beneath the flesh.

I know who could stop him. Perhaps I could arrange a meeting. Go to pier 17. Ask for Lorenz Macaro.

Selene

How long have you been in the business of killing your own kind?

I've done what's necessary to survive. My decision was made easy the day your precious Viktor betrayed me.

Selene

Betrayal was something he did very well.

Selene

Your exile seems a bit more comfortable than I remember.

Michael

How does a Vampire like you have Lycan bodyguards?

A gift, from a very persuasive client.

Selene

Lucian.

Michael

Why would Lucian want to protect you?

Selene

Because he was trading with them. [holds up a UV round] UV rounds. [to Tanis] How long have you been in the business of killing your own kind?

I've done what is necessary to survive. My decision was made easy the day your precious Viktor betrayed me.

Selene

Betrayal was something he did very well. Viktor's dead, I killed him.

You? Killed Viktor? No, I think not. Oh, unless you've learned the truth. So your eyes are finally open. Isn't it interesting how the truth is even harder to absorb than light? You know, I tried to stop him, of course. A travesty, committing such a horrible crime, and then turning you. That was too much to take. My protests are why he put me here.
