Peel it off.

What are you talking about?

Peel it off.

Look.

What's happening to me?

You've been reborn.

What the f*** is it now,

you dried up old prune?

What's this,

why the new skin?

And don't answer in riddles.

You talk about insects,

alchemists, artifacts.

But what is it that I need?

Blood.

Human?

Of course.

You can't gain eternity

with a cow or a pig.

I can destroy the artifact,

pulverize it.

As you wish.

If the device goes,

you go.

But...

we can share...

- eternity.

- What do I care about eternity?

I don't want to be eternal,

I just want to get out of this.

That's even better.

There is a way out.

But first, the device.

I don't trust you.

I don't see you have a choice.

Give me that, darling.

Come on, I know what I'm doing.

You first.

My way out.

As you wish.

You don't even bleed right.

And now the heart...

My God, Aurora.

Uncle?

Talk to me...

Let's go now... let's go.

Please.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Mine, mine...

everything is mine.

Mine, mine, mine.

Angel...

Enough.

You kept me waiting

long enough.

You...

F***...

not my nose again.

This has to end.

Oh, Mr. Gris...

now I have

to kill you again.

Ha!

Mr. Gris...

Go.

Go...

Come here, precious.

Come here.

Angel.

What the f***

does it take to kill you?

You'll lose more than I will.

Mine is only pain.

Get ready for some more.

What the-

Grandpa.

No!

I'm Jesus...

Gris.

Jesus Gris.

Jesus Gris.
