Tear Jerker / Blood (1997)

Go To

  • In the opening cinematic Ophelia (Caleb's lover) gets dragged off by the gargoyle Cheogh. At the end of the first episode Caleb finds her crucified by Cheogh, and in the cutscene after the battle Caleb gives her an impromptu funeral pyre while quietly saying "sleep, Ophelia" without any sarcasm or menace for once.
    Caleb: "Ophelia..! NOOOOOO!" [to Cheogh] "Show yourself! SHOW YOURSELF!"
  • The conclusion of the second episode is similarly grim. Just as with Ophelia, Caleb arrives too late to save Gabriel. While he needs the power boost that taking Gabriel's heart will give him, he's not happy about it. (As for Ishmael, there wasn't even enough of him left to bury.)
  • The exhausted way Caleb questions Tchernobog before the final battle. There's no anger in his voice, just betrayal and pain.
    Caleb: "Why did you cast us down? How did we fail you?"
