Show me what you have.
Alexander Corvinus And no trace of Marcus amongst the ashes?
Alexander Corvinus It was never his Coven.
Alexander Corvinus (To Samuel)
Remain airborne for the moment. I'm sure they'll reappear in good time.
Alexander Corvinus There was a time that I was known by that name. (To Michael) But by any name, I am still your forefather.
Alexander Corvinus For centuries I have stood by and watched the havoc my sons have wrought upon each other, and upon Humanity. Not the legacy I prayed for the morning I watched them enter this world. And a tiresome duty... keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess... hiding my family's unfortunate history.
Alexander Corvinus Could you kill your own sons?
Alexander Corvinus (To Marcus)
You are unwelcome in my presence.
Alexander Corvinus We are oddities of Nature, you and I. Nothing more. This a world for Humanity.
Alexander Corvinus What ever you have planned for William is futile. You cannot control your Brother.
Alexander Corvinus You're wrong. Soon you'll be drowning in Lycans, just like before-
Alexander Corvinus (Last words to Marcus)
You will Fail!
Alexander Corvinus (To Samuel)
The time has come, my friend. Find the Girl. Bring her to me.
Alexander Corvinus No matter what he's become... he is my son. You are the only hope left. There is only one way to defeat him. (Slits his wrist open and offers her it) Quickly now... before there is no-more Legacy left in my veins.
Alexander Corvinus (Cryptically)
The Future.
Alexander Corvinus (Last words)
Go now.

Kraven My lord, I can explain.
Why would I listen to your lies, when the journey to the truth is so much sweeter?
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.
Betrayal was something he did very well.
Kraven may still have his men with him. You're not going alone.
He's not as strong as you might think.
What?
Michael, you're unique. There has never been a Hybrid before. Not to be ambivalent about it, but the truth is your powers could be limitless. You depend on blood.
[Selene retrieves a plastic bag of cloned human blood from a medical cabinet, Michael is visibly unsettled]
You need to feed. Without it, you'll be growing weaker by the second. Use the time for that.
What if I don't? What if I can't?
Normal food could be lethal. If you don't anticipate your cravings, you will attack humans... and believe me, you don't want that on your conscience. There really is no going back, Michael. I'm sorry.
Alexander Corvinus You are asking me to help you kill my son? You? A Death Dealer? How many innocents have you slain in your six-century quest to avenge your family? Spare me your self-righteous declarations; you are no different from Marcus and even less noble than William. At least he cannot control his savagery.
Anything I've done can be laid at your feet. Hundreds of thousands have died because of your inability to accept that your sons are monsters, that they create monsters! You could have stopped all of this.
Alexander Corvinus Soon you'll be drowning in Lycans, just like before.
Oh, not Lycans father ... or vampires. A new race, created in the image of their maker... their new god. Me. And the true god has no father.
[Selene and Michael have been brought before Lorenz Macaro. He looks over the pendant] [to Lorenz]
So you're familiar with this, then?
Lorenz
Intimately.
[As Marcaro's hand moves over Sonja's Pendant, Selene sees his ring. Selene recognises its emblem from the woodcut of Alexander Corvinus' army of mortals that Tanis showed them] [realizing]
You're Alexander Corvinus.
Alexander Corvinus [having been revealed, Alexander Corvinus walks towards Michael]
There was a time that I was known by that name. [to Michael] But by any name, I am still your forefather. [gives Michael a smile of paternal pride, as he hands the pendent back to him]
How have you stayed hidden all these years?
Alexander For centuries, I've stood back and watched the havoc my sons have wrought upon each other, and upon humanity. Not the legacy I prayed for, the morning I watched them enter this world. And a tiresome duty; keeping the war contained, cleaning up the mess. Hiding my family's unfortunate history.
Yes.
Alexander Could you kill your own sons?
You know what Marcus will do! If he finds me, he finds William's prison! You have to help us stop him.
Alexander You are asking me to help you kill my son? You? A Death Dealer? How many innocents have you slain in your six-century quest to avenge your family? Spare me your self-righteous declarations. You are no different from Marcus and even less noble than William. At least he cannot control his savagery.
Anything I've done can be laid at your feet. Hundreds of thousands have died because of your inability to accept that your sons are monsters, that they created monsters! You could have stopped all of this.
Alexander Do not come groveling to me because you are weaker than your adversary-
You know the devastation William caused before he was captured. He cannot be set free.
Hello, father.
Alexander Corvinus You are unwelcome in my presence.
A predictable heart that never falls. Pity it beats within such a fool. The eldest of the immortals, yet you have made no attempt to seize your destiny.
Alexander We are oddities of nature, you and I. Nothing more! This is a world for humanity.
And that petty sentiment explains why you rejected your sons? Why you stood by for half a millennium as William suffered alone in darkness!? No, father. I have no respect for your petty sentiment. Viktor's key, where is it?
Alexander Whatever plan you have for William is futile. You cannot control you brother.
Oh, I am stronger now. And our bond is greater than you have ever wanted to acknowledge.
Alexander You're wrong. Soon you'll be drowning in Lycans, just like before.
Oh, not Lycans, father, or vampires. A new race, created in the image of their maker, their New God. Me. And a True God has no father.
