Previously on 'EZRA'.
I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner tonight?
Yeah, that'd be really nice.
With my parents?
"Parents. With my fucking parents."
Who the hell says that?
There are rules, strict vampiric rules that... Move.
Strict vampiric rules that go back hundreds of years.
Rule number one, never court... with mortals.
Ezra, I've heard so much about you. Chicken?
Just relax, breathe.
If I don't start drinking soon,
I will not be the flirty, funny, sexy version of me.
Okay. Well, what do you want me to do? Kill someone?
They love you.
What?
We found your little cousin.
He fled to the mortal world.
Find him.
As a woman, we are born into a life
of appearances.
A life of not growing into one's own
but a tactful game of optics.
With every breath and movement watched by those around us,
we learn to reflect their world back onto itself.
Constantly fighting in a tug of war of dualities.
Beautiful, but never aware.
Seductive, but modest.
Fiery, but tameable.
And most importantly, always manageable by men, for men.
We are burdened with the weight of the world,
but silenced through our bravery of taking it on.
To survive is to be smart.
But to be smart is to be silent.
Even as a vampiric ruler, I must work in the shadows,
pressured by the weight of my responsibilities.
Not as a leader of my people,
but as a rock for them to take, and take, and take from
until there is nothing left.
But what if I no longer want to be that rock?

Hide.
Stop that
Must you be so embarrassed of me?
You know the rules.
Damn all the rules.
To be seen with a man, let alone a human,
will destroy any standing that I have with counsel.
Especially if they find out that you're a Hunter.
My family are Hunters
but I am just a helpless victim to you Countess.
How lovely.
We could leave, you know?
We could leave and start over.
I hear New England's beautiful.
To the land where all the Puritans are heading to.
Sounds brilliant.
I'm serious Aniya, we could go.
Nathaniel, you know I can't.
They wouldn't let me.
If you love me, you'll go.
And what are people to think?
An emotional woman fleeing all her duties to be with a man?
No that is not the image that I wish to portray.
Then be a woman who chooses to love a man
more then the people she's forced to govern.
Ugh, barf.
Even Shakespeare wouldn't write a line that cringe.
Kylo.
Scram hay boy.
You should go.
Don't let one of the vamps catch you on the way out.
Jealousy looks bad on you, Kylo.
Oh, good comeback. Maybe next time I'll remember to cry.
Think about it.
Bye.
You can't be serious?
I love him, Kylo.
You need to focus on the war at hand, the Hunters and us.
He is the hunter, we are the hunted.
We are fleeting.
Don't screw us all over
because you can't control your emotions.
I thought you're supposed to be in the Castle all night.
I got work done, they let me leave.
Oh, good to know there's some humanity left
in the Grey line.
Yeah.
Stop. If anyone sees us we'll be hung.
Me twice for being a vampire.
I, I must bear bad news, Ezra.
I'm leaving.
What?
Yeah, The Castle.
Someone has asked me to join them
on an expedition to New England.
To seek a new future.
New England?
Why?
Land, resources, trade.
It's an entire monopoly.
I'll go with you.
Ezra, I don't think that'd be best.
I can talk to Aniya.
Like I, we, we can find an agreement.
Ezra, it's not safe for you there.
So what are we going to do?
Empress, have you signed our declaration?
No, I have not.
On what grounds do you deny your duty as Empress?
I deny no such duty.
I do not choose to create more war.
The Hunters have already tried
to murder the witches in Italy.
They have burned complete royal vampiric bloodlines
to the ground.
I believe we must reach an agreement with them
and end this madness once and for all.
You want us to create a treaty with them?
Yes.
You've absolutely lost it.
We should never have agreed to put a woman in charge.
Enough. Enough!
May I remind you all,
that I am the one who got us this land,
this Castle and these servants.
Had it not been for me, we would all be ash.
I will not sign the declaration. Find another way.
And if any of you disrespect me,
I will drown you for the satanists you are.
You made it.
I'll go.
Really?
Yes. But no sooner than sundown.
I have to sign the declaration with counsel,
or they will not leave me until I do.
Once that's done,
they'll be so busy trying to kill the Hunters
they won't even realize I've gone.
Kill the Hunters?
Humans?
Nathaniel, it's kill them or kill me.
So you wish death upon my family?
My friends?
No, I have no choice.
There's always a choice.
You know you have no idea the kinds of wars
that we're facing from your kind.
The only wars we're fighting
are from the lechery of yours.
We must survive.
And so must we.
Please.
Don't wish death upon those I love.
I long to be away from this place.
Ezra?
It's just a flower, I can put it back.
Oh, it's you.
Who else did you think it was going to be?
No one.
It must suck being the reject of the family, huh?
Why don't you go suck on my cousin's tit, Kylo?
Your entire family has this life of luxury.
The castle, the fame, the money.
And you get sent back to the stocks every night
because you can't handle the pressure of being a Grey.
You know why I must hide?
Oh my God, nobody cares for your phallic preference, Ezra.
The humans have their diluted god sent beliefs,
but Satan could care less about how you live your life.
The problem with you is you're weak.
You always have been and you always will be.
What do you want?
Who's the flower for, Ezra?
Have a good night, Kylo.
It wouldn't be for Nathaniel Walton would it?
What? How did you-
Surprise.
Aniya is fucking your boyfriend.
And he's convinced her to flee
and abandon her duties and go to New England.
Funny.
I learned a long time ago not to trust you.
We could leave, you know.
Ezra?
After all this? Aniya?
Ezra, I don't know what you're talking about.
Once! All right, it was once.
You're a monster and a liar.
That's rich coming from you.
Aniya has money.
She has power, Ezra. I need to that to live.
All right?
So what was I?
Fun.
I'm going to her.
Oh yeah?
I'll be sure to let the entire village know
there's a vampire living amongst them.
You'll be hung before for sunrise.
Fuck you.
You just couldn't behave yourself could you, Ezra?
For five minutes.
Come here.
Stop, stop, stop, stop!
See you in hell.
How dare you?
How dare you!
I, Empress Aniya Grey,
hereby agree to the declaration
that mortals and vampires will no longer court.
Doing so shall prevent a crossing of worlds,
creating a divide and thus halting the war for our land.
This will leave the Hunters to their own devices
and us, our own natural needs.
If there ever be evidence of such a blasphemous crime,
the vampire shall be executed by Council.
Spare the Hunters your highness?
We're the strong ones.
Let them suffer at their own games.
Oh my god.
No, no, no, no.
No!
Who did this?
Ask your cousin.
