If you're the oracle, you know why I'm here.
Son of Sparda,
you seek to escape my realm.
All who have tried found only madness.
They were weak.
You cannot conceal the doubt in your heart.
I feel it thrumming in your veins.
What you feel is anger
at being forced to spend another minute in this absurd dimension.
I am a seer of truth.
Why is it that Arius would send you to me?
Whatever Arius's purpose in sending me here,
all he'll get is his pet being put down.
I may be his captive, but you will remain mine!
Stay back!
You do not face us!
You face only the truth!
Why do you still fail to embrace your pain?
The rage that storms inside you
from the wounds inflicted by Argosax's filth.
It is through your suffering that you gain your true form.
Oracle! You show me what I have already seen!
Do you really believe you belong here among us?

My lord, this symbol,
have I displeased you?
We found Sparda's whelps and his sapien broodmare, just as you asked.
I spoke of it to no one.
You have done well.
I gave you this brand so none will know your true master.
No.
When you enact my next order,
capture the sons of the traitor and lock them in my dungeon.
Be sure to kill the mother.
It was you.
Now you see.
Interesting.
I always knew Mundus keeping me at his side was a deliberate strategy.
I should have realized just how deliberate.
I almost admire it.
You will break!
You got us out!
You did it!
Vergil?
Arius sent me here.
He wanted me to see.
Mundus
killed her.
Arius intends for me to join him,
to defeat Mundus together.
You want to join Arius?
He killed my grandpa.
Him and that evil lady.
Your grandfather's life was meaningless!
As are the lives of the millions more who Argosax will consume.
If Arius wants me to have retribution,
I will take it.
What's that?
What is it?
No!
- No! - Oh my God, get out of here!
From Chaos, evolution.
My father has become a god.
Lady…
Lady!
Dante!
I thought I'd lost you again.
Don't worry.
It's not going to be that easy to escape what I deserve
for causing all of this.
Yeah, right. Not the time.
We can still stop this.
The professor said Argosax needs to do a whole bunch of soul-sucking
to charge his power, right?
Well, as long as he's on low battery,
pretty sure I can handle him.
It's not just him we have to stop.
Arius told his fucked-up girl Friday to open up the rift with Makai
once he's at full strength
so he can go do his demon coup and make himself king.
Didn't you want to open it until yesterday?
She's not going to close it again.
We got a glimpse of what happens when that wall comes down.
If the redhead finishes the job
and takes your dad's sword to the other side,
we'll have no way to close it or to stop what comes through.
It won't matter then if you beat Argosax or not.
Everywhere will look like here.
So, I get him, you get her.
Easy.
Be advised, bossman's secretary just passed checkpoint bravo.
Package is en route to the skybridge.
Better hurry up or he'll suck up the whole city.
I got this.

Dante.
Welcome to the vanguard of both your species' emancipation.
I hate to sound harsh,
but this is the worst ventriloquist act I've ever seen.
I can't even tell which of you is the hand and which is the asshole.
So, what do I call you now? "Argosax" is kind of "meh".
Vergil said you were the original devil, so "Satan"? "Lucy"?
I've always liked "Beelzebub" personally. It's just fun to say.
We were going to draw the power from your blood.
We can take it this way just as easily.
I have to ask you to give me that sword.
But trust me, I'd love it if you didn't.
Would you?
You haven't even recovered from the last time you and I met.
Last time there was dozens of yous.
Now, I just count one.
Arkham, drop it!
But your former subordinates
will serve the same purpose.
You know Arius's orders if this traitor were to set foot here.
Stop her by any means necessary.
I'm not the threat.
I'm trying to stop that soul-sucking kaiju outside.
Help me.
The monster's not our assignment.
Our orders are to guard the hotel.
Ugh, what is wrong with you?
There obviously won't be a hotel to guard pretty soon.
I'm just here to do my job.
So, you're with me after all.
I have a lot to make up for.
Come on.
She's going to the roof.
♪ I'm a killer with fire in my eyes ♪
Flashbang!
♪ My bazooka ♪
Dante!

♪ Makes the devils cry… ♪
Working on it. Maybe try to go faster.
We have lived long enough to know
the masses must be forced into freedom.
Look how you fight to uphold this corrupt order.
When you were never even accepted by it.
Such a life is worth nothing
besides what progress can be gained from its extraction.
I can't allow you to kill my brother.
We haven't finished our fight yet.
Vergil.
Nice working with you, Commander.
Yeah! I'm the NCAA single-season passing yards record holder!
So, you have seen the truth.
And you still take up arms against us.
You thought I would simply trade one scheming overlord for another?
You both mistake me for a pawn to be controlled.
All of Mundus' debts will be accounted for.
Yours are quicker to settle!
Do what you need to. I can hold them off.
Dante will be dead soon, if he isn't already.
And Baines?
You couldn't save your father figure.
Just like you couldn't save your mother from your real father.
Don't make the mistake of thinking you know me.
But I do.
You're too broken to deserve a happy ending.
Just like me.
Arius said you were alive.
But I was starting to think maybe…
I told you to keep the Arcana away from him until after the eclipse!
All you had to do was run and hide!
You want to do this now?
I thought I could destroy it.
I thought I finally did something good, but…
You were right.
Not about everything.
We still have an enemy in common.
So…
How exactly do we defeat him?
Argosax's rebirth is not yet complete.
The Sons of Sparda should be able to dispense with him easily enough.
If we fight with all our power.
I can't use my Devil Trigger the way you do.
I don't know how to control it.
You think this is my Devil Trigger? This is merely a half measure.
An intermediate form that Mundus…
Mundus showed me how to assume it,
by constantly channeling low levels of power.
Even I cannot remain in full demon form permanently,
thanks to our mother's frailty.
But you can choose when to change. I can't!
It's like a thought that's always there in the back of my mind until
suddenly I'm living inside it!
It is only in suffering that our full senses are engaged.
That we become our truest selves.
You keep your pain subdued.
Release it!
Be the wrath that is our legacy!
Wrath…
He guarded the gate!
He's over here!
Mom?
My darling boy.
I messed it all up, Mom.
Vergil was alive.
And I never looked for him.
You were only a kid.
You were doing the best you could.
I should have done more for you.
Told you about your father.
I should have saved you both.
You tried.
I just hid.
From everything.
From myself.
It hurts so much to miss you.
I know, baby.
I know.
Vergil says I need to let the pain out.
But I can't.
It's too big.
There's too much.
Oh, Dante.
You think this hurt is what keeps you cut off from everyone,
when it's just the opposite.
It's exactly what connects you to them the most.
What you feel is wholly, achingly human.
Your pain isn't a monster you can fight.
Or run from.
You can only accept it.
As a part of you.
My son.
The sons of Sparda.
At last.
No.
We're the sons of Eva.
And we work better with music.
His sword.
You lose.
Again.
Arius might have turned into a giant demon god,
but he's gonna be getting his own coffee.
Wait. You're not…
See? No happy ending.
That's for my grandpa, you stupid, ugly bitch!
Thanks, kid.
You shouldn't, uh…
swear.
It's bad.
Freeze!
More.
Dante, are you all right?
Yeah.
But he's too powerful now. We can't stop him.
You have to. Because if you can't,
who the fuck can?
You said Argosax was gonna try to kill Mundus once he powered up.
What if they fought at his current power?
Would Mundus win?
Yes.
Lady, you need to open the rift.
What? Why?
Because we're gonna knock Argosax through it so Mundus can kill him.
- No, you can't. - I know, but it's the only way.
Open it just long enough
for us to send him through, then close it up again.
Like you planned.
You said it's all good as long as the sword stays on this side, right?
And you're sure you can get him through the rift?
Come on, it's me. And Vergil.
All right, let's do it.
Mattie, listen to me.
What happened to you was terrible, but it's over now. Let it be.
This doesn't have to become who you are.
Okay?
Mm-hmm.
Get her out of here.
No, I'm staying. I can help fight.
Just keep Mattie safe.
You can run and be a hero this time.
Hey, Lady.
That diner around the corner from my old place, you know it?
Yeah. Why?
If we lose touch once the rift opens, that's where I'll go.
- Meet me there. We can talk. Dante.
I need to know that you'll be there. Tell me you will.
I'll be there.
