0:00:32 > 0:00:34(Vlad. Vlad.)
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Robin?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Is that you?- (Vlad. Over here.)
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Ah!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59(Vlad.)
0:01:06 > 0:01:08(Vlad.)
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Arghh!- Freak. - Like all powerful vampires,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Master Vlad has started sleeping during the day.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Excellent! Let's go to the crypt and I'll tuck you into your coffin.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Renfield, burn his bed.- Happily.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I am not sleeping in a coffin all day.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- I'm going to school.- Sweet dreams.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Jonno! The porridge!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Sorry, Dad. It's from Mum.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10We've been writing and... she wants to see me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Oh, I see. You haven't told her about the slaying, have you?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- No. What's wrong with telling her the truth?- She's a psychotherapist.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- She thinks vampires only exist in my mind.- We can prove they're real!
0:02:24 > 0:02:29People see only what they want to see.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Don't make the same mistake as me.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46THUDDING
0:02:52 > 0:02:54They're coming.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Who's coming?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03WOMAN'S VOICE: I'm coming. DOORBELL RINGS
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Oh, hello, Vlad. Hurry up, you lot!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You all right? You look tired.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Go to bed early, that's my advice.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Bye, love.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Yeah, I know. I look tired.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Something weird is happening.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24I keep falling asleep and having this dream about you in a forest...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26ALL: Freak.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- CHALK SQUEAKS ON BOARD - For centuries,
0:03:50 > 0:03:55oak has been the traditional choice of wood when building a coffin.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Isn't that right, Vlad?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Vlad!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Vampire!- Vlad, be quiet!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36What's wrong with him?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41(He's a creature of the undead... everything's wrong with him.)
0:04:41 > 0:04:43BELL RINGS
0:04:47 > 0:04:53- Everybody was a vampire.- Cool. I love it when I have that dream.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58It was more like a nightmare. I'm scared. I can't fall asleep again.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- It's double maths after lunch. You've got no chance.- Just keep pinching me.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06What are friends for?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Vlad? Vlad? Wake up!
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Vlad, wake up! Vlad! Vlad, wake up!
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- They're coming.- Who's coming?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- You must learn to master your vampire powers to survive.- Powers?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- What do you mean...survive?- Listen.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Slayers.- They are fast...
0:05:43 > 0:05:48- ..but the wolf is faster.- I'm not a wolf!- It sleeps within you.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53I can't shape-shift. I'm not even a proper vampire yet!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- That's not what they think. - What do I do?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The clever fish swims with the tide.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Run!
0:06:07 > 0:06:12You?! I thought I was being chased by slayers.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18This is just a dream.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You're not gonna hurt me.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, there goes that theory!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Double freak.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09What on Earth's going on? Come on. There's nothing to see here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- You were supposed to stop me falling asleep.- I tried pinching you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- Maybe next time I should slap you in the face?- Robin, I am in big trouble.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- That was nothing to do with me.- Your mum just tried to slay me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Ingrid!- Shhhh!
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Ingrid, do you ever have weird dreams?
0:07:46 > 0:07:52Only one where an annoying geek of a brother asks me stupid questions.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I'm serious! In my dream I was chased by slayers and they did this.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Boys. My lunch?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09You're lying. You don't get to go to the dreamworld until you're 16.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- What dreamworld?- The place vampires go when they sleep.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17If you're slain there, you die for real.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26That's not good news.
0:08:27 > 0:08:34Oh, please. As if you'd get to go there before me. Hey! Vlad!
0:08:38 > 0:08:43The slayers are coming! Save me, Vlad. Save me!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Shhhh.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Slayers!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Come on.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29(Follow me, but keep your head down.)
0:09:37 > 0:09:41(If I die, who's gonna carry on my charity work
0:09:41 > 0:09:43(and captain the chess club?)
0:09:43 > 0:09:48I don't know who's freaking me out more - you or the Branaghs. Come on.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Run!
0:10:12 > 0:10:18Robin! You do not wake someone up by slapping them in the face!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20But he told me to.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Ingrid, you're OK! - Get up, Sleeping Beauty.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26You're making the rest of us look bad.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Back off, slayers. He doesn't need your kind of help.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34What happened to your hand?
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- He's feasting on himself! - Oh, that is disgusting.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I, er... It's just a paper cut.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Go and wash the blood off, then come to my office. We'll patch you up.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- I'm concerned about Vlad's behaviour. - Yes, he should be punished.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07No, I mean I'm worried about him. He's been acting very strangely.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Maybe there's trouble at home.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16- Why don't you invite his father in...for a chat?- Good idea.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19And I'll call in the student counsellor, too.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Dad, you're a genius.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Don't get me wrong, I like being a vampire mentor.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I just think I should be in black, too.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Your family's trying to slay me and all you can think about is clothes?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41So what was it like shape-shifting into a wolf?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I scared the slayers...and it felt good. Which worries me.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And having fur and a tail doesn't?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52What if there's an evil vampire in my blood after all?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Vlad, you still sleep with a teddy bear. Dream on.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Come on, let's get you a plaster.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And a lollipop for being brave.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- When the Count arrives, what will he do?- Get inside quickly
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- to avoid exposure to sunlight. - And what will WE do?- Stop him!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- And let mother nature do the rest. - Here he comes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Get ready.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- Hello, Eric. Hello, Jonno.- Mum!
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- Mina!- Wow. Gosh, you've got tall!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Mina, what are you doing here?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Oh, well, it's nice to see you, too. - No, I mean... I didn't mean...
0:12:56 > 0:13:01I've started working as a counsellor for schools in this area -
0:13:01 > 0:13:04a good chance to see both of you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- Are you here to see a boy called Vlad?- I can't tell you that.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Can we talk later?- Let's hope so.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Don't worry. This is perfect!
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Jonno, we're letting her walk into a room full of vampires.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29If we grab the Count on the way out, he'll turn to dust before her eyes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Finally proving to her that vampires are real! You're the genius, son.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Run along.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53- Mr Count, pleased to meet you. - The pleasure is all mine.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Good afternoon. I'm Mina Van Helsing, student counsellor. Hello.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03I believe I know your husband, Mrs Van Helsing. We're great friends.
0:14:03 > 0:14:09- Please don't kiss my hand.- He never mentioned he had a beautiful wife.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I think we're here to talk about Vlad, not me. Shall we go in?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Oh, yes. He's in my office.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25He's out cold.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56It's no use. Vampires can't cross running water, remember?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58But that makes no sense!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Hey, I don't make the rules.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Ow!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Our greatest glory is in rising every time we fall.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You have to get up and fight.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Help me.
0:15:33 > 0:15:41- We need to get this boy to hospital. - But he's totally faking!- Now!
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- They're coming!- We'll give the Count a suntan he won't forget!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57OK. Right, watch his head.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I'm gonna go to the hospital, I'll call you later.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Follow that hearse!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08We should go too.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- I'll look after her, Miss.- Good idea.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Mr Van Helsing, have you got room for two more?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26You can do this, Vlad. You know you can.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Use your energy.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34That's it, Vlad, trust your instincts. Feel the energy.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Use the power within.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It is your time.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- You did this.- I needed to make sure you could pass the test
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- before you meet the Master. - I thought you were my friend.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13You have no friends here, Vlad.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26If your dad lays a finger on my mum, you'll be sorry.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- It's his fangs I'd be worried about. - She's just trying to wind you up.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35So, Eric, what blood group is your wife?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Anyone up for a game of I spy?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm home?
0:17:52 > 0:17:57It is time for you to meet the Grand High Vampire.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Renfield is the Grand High Vampire?!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06On your feet!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I've always liked you. You know that, don't you?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Speak only when The Master speaks.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Of course. Yeah, sorry. I won't say another word.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34What am I supposed to do?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You must choose your destiny, Vlad.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46You are on a journey.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Ahead of you lie two paths.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Which will you take?
0:18:52 > 0:18:58One path leads to immortality, and the other...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00The other...
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Dad?!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07..leads to death.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10HEART MONITOR BEATS
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Dad?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Don't worry, Vlad. Daddy's here for you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18HE SCREAMS
0:19:18 > 0:19:20HEART MONITOR GOES FASTER
0:19:20 > 0:19:24My time is past.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Our people are suffering,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32we are being hunted down and destroyed.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36We hide in the shadows waiting for the Chosen One.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40The Chosen One?
0:19:40 > 0:19:46A vampire with exceptional powers who will lead us once again to glory.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Vladimir Dracula...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59..you are the Chosen One.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Wrong! I don't even want to be a vampire!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Vladimir Dominus... - Look, thanks for the offer
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- but I think I'll give it a miss. - Vladimir Dominus Imperator Electus.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Is that the time?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Vladimir Dominus Imperator Electus.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Vladmir Dominus Imperator Electus.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Vladimir Dominus Imperator Electus.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You can't escape your destiny.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Heart rate's racing.- Your infernal machines are making him worse!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Get the crash cart ready.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- You must fight, Vlad, fight! - They're doing everything they can.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- He should be at home in a coffin, resting in peace!- Don't give up!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49He'll pull through.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53There's evil in you, Vlad. I can smell it!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Sorry, but you're making me nervous.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02- I saw it when you tried to bite that slayer in the forest.- That wasn't me!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Who are you, Vlad?
0:21:05 > 0:21:10In our world, you're either a vampire or a slayer.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You must slay the vampire or bite the breather.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- The choice is yours.- Don't slay me, Vlad! I'm allergic to wood!
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Do you want to spend your life feasting on the innocent?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Statistics show slayers live short, tragically unfulfilled lives.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Join us and be a beacon of light in the darkness.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And they have a horrible weakness for metaphor.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Bite her!- Slay her! - Bite her!- Slay her!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Bite her!- Slay her! - It's all in my head,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48It's all in my head, it's all in my head...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I feel so helpless.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Eric!- Leave her alone, vampire!
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- Is he your patient?- Don't tell me you're still obsessed with vampires!
0:22:09 > 0:22:13He thinks our whole family are vampires.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- It's true! They are!- Great. So you've infected Jonathan with this madness.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Eric, how could you?- He's crashing!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Right, wait outside.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38It's all in my head, it's all in my head...
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Hello?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Your indecision has cost you dearly.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07We have no need for a leader who's nice to people.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Oh! That hurt!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14It's meant to.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Stop doing that!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Make me!
0:23:31 > 0:23:36I told you to stop doing that.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57- We're losing him!- No. Someone's switched off the monitor.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Sorry, was that supposed to be plugged in?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Oh, that's right - everybody blame Ingrid!
0:24:51 > 0:24:56You are the Chosen One.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Finish me and take your rightful place on this throne.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16No! I won't fight you any more.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21I don't enjoy being evil, it makes me feel dead inside.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I choose life.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Nooooo!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Where am I?- It's OK, Vlad.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41You're back in the real world now.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43All right?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- So, did I become a vampire?- Yes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48And, yes, you were wearing black.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Cool!
0:25:51 > 0:25:53There's nothing wrong with him.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57You wouldn't say that if you had to live with him!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Well, that's amazing.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08- He's absolutely fine!- I knew he wouldn't die because he's a vampire!
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Well, I hope you're proud of yourself, Eric.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17- But Mum, we can prove it!- Leave it, Jonno, you're wasting your time.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23- I think this is the part where you say you're leaving.- Not this time.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28I'm gonna stay and finally deal with this crazy vampire obsession.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50So, who was your Grand High Vampire?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Mine was Nanny Clontarf.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54You knew where I was?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Are you the Chosen One?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05No, it's not me.
0:27:05 > 0:27:11- Let's get you home.- I'd like to keep him in overnight for observation.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- I'll stay and keep you company. - Oh, thanks, Dad.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Got a straw?
