0:00:19 > 0:00:24We have convened to elect Adze's replacement on the High Council,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27by due process laid out in section three, paragraph two
0:00:27 > 0:00:30of the covenant of the vampiric constitution.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33By the power invested in me as Chief High Councillor,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I present Ingrid Dracula.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Do you, Ingrid Dracula, swear your allegiance to the High Council?
0:00:58 > 0:00:59I do.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Then I introduce your opponent.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05What opponent?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07George Lansley.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Good to see you again, Ustrel.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Likewise, George.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Do you, George Lansley, swear your allegiance to the High Council?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21I do.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We will adjourn until all members have voted.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32There's one loser here,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34and it's not me.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Still pining? Never mind. I'm still here, Master.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh, I loves a game of chess, me.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Your move, Master.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I'll go first.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I think I'll go...here.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Father, Bertolini's file. There's nothing incriminating.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Bertolini must have a weakness.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Have you ever thought maybe he's as perfect as McCauley thinks he is?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Guess not.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Why don't you just dust him?
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Because...breathers have an unfathomable sentimentality
0:02:21 > 0:02:22for the dead.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25He will live on in Miss McCauley's heart and I...
0:02:26 > 0:02:27I'll never get a look in.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Not if he dies a fool.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Make it so that it's...some stupid accident of his own doing.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Sit, sit, sit.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Chess always helps me think.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47No, no, no! Winner stays on.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Oh, yeah?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Check mate.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Well, um, I'll leave you to it.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25After you.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30The vote is unanimous.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Ingrid Dracula...
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Yes!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43..we thank you for being a worthy opponent.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45The Council elects George Lansley.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46LAUGHTER
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Now, moving on to item two on our agenda...
0:03:50 > 0:03:51No hard feelings?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58HE HISSES
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh, kidney balls?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ah! These are for Master.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07But he hates kidney.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I know.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Urgh!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Kidney!- My mistake, Master.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I deserve to be punished!
0:04:39 > 0:04:40RENFIELD SIGHS
0:04:40 > 0:04:42LAUGHTER
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Count!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45George Lansley!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I hear congratulations are in order.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Come, come, come, come!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54A WORTHY choice on the High Council's part.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58And a crate of the finest as promised for nominating me.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Ah. I always back a winner.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- RENFIELD:- Oi, that's my job!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03You nominated him against me?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yes. Who knew politics could be such fun?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08THEY SNIGGER
0:05:08 > 0:05:09This isn't over.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Ignore her. All flap, no flight.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Guests first, weasel face.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Ah, Vlad. Meet George Lansley, newest member of the High Council.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30You are aware that the High Council
0:05:30 > 0:05:33is still fully committed to peaceful coexistence?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I hope to be envoy between biter and breather.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38The slayers will be glad to hear that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'll assure them you're on side.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41To peace!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44No taste. Do you want to get some proper stuff?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Didn't you hear? Peace still stands.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48No hunting.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Who's going to stop us?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51The slayers?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53He's only using you to get at me.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It's not all about you. - He'll hurt you.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Don't forget I know that it was you who mind-wiped the slayers,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03so if anyone's going to get hurt, it'll be you.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04By me.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06And when you least expect it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26That colour scheme the Count has - terrible taste in curtains.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28No, no, no, no, no! You're driving.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We can pick another couple of
0:06:30 > 0:06:33waifs and strays from the arches before sun up.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Lovely.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Concentrate, idiot!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Go that way. That way!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's all right. We're not going to hurt you. Move the boxes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30It's all right. My name's George. I run a shelter for the homeless.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Your hands are freezing!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That's it. Nice and steady, mind the puddles.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Get you a nice cup of tea and a warm bath.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Now, are you sure it's completely unsafe?
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Well, it will be once I've sawn off a beam and drilled a few more holes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Ah, yes. Bertolini really will be...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13..falling for McCauley.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15LAUGHS EVILLY
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Comfort food?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27What's wrong?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29The Count doesn't like me anymore.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31He never liked you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I may as well not exist.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Dad takes you for granted.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Why don't you leave for a few days?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He'll soon realise how much he really values you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I was hoping for a caravan...by the beach.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02They were all out of those.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Are you sure this is going to work?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08A couple of days and Dad will be begging to have you back.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09But it's scary.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- I'll always know where you are. - But what if I get lonely?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Oh, Mr Nitty!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- And a bedtime story? - Don't push it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28HE MOUTHS
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Miss McCauley?- Ah, Bertolini.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Talitha Knutsford - the report you wanted.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Oh, you finished it already?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I thought I'd stay behind and get it done...for you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I really appreciate you staying late.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well, two heads are better than, er...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Not interrupting, am I?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Not at all. Just doing reports.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02I'm calling in the exterminators. The, er, bats have returned.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04You can't get rid of them.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Why ever not? They are flying vermin.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09A protected species. We must get this on record.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yes, yes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Oh, and they were circling the south roof.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17After you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19CRICKETS CHIRRUP
0:10:21 > 0:10:23OWL HOOTS
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Any sign?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Not yet.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Hello, hello.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02We can't have you lying down there in the cold.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03RENFIELD GRUNTS
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Don't I know you?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Well, I...- Don't tell me.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Weasel face. - Name's Renfield, actually.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Kicked you out, has he? - I left of my own accord.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19He's taken me for granted for far too long.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23It just so happens I'm looking for someone with your experience.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- Really?- Yes. Decent staff are so very hard to find these days.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Interested, Mr Renfield?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Yes, Master.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35A helping hand.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42There we go, take a seat.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46And before you go, smell that.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48HE SNIFFS
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh, that's nice, innit? It's got...
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Lovely.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Quick as you can to the farm.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57ENGINE STARTS
0:12:28 > 0:12:30You carry weasel face, I've got a bad back.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Now hurry up, come on! And stop making decisions for yourself.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38If I'd wanted a decision maker, I'd have employed someone else.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I've brought hot chocolate.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47YOU are one in a million.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Malik!- What's up?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Nothing! That's the problem.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Bertolini is down there, when he should be up there.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Your imbecilic plan has served only to thrust him further
0:13:09 > 0:13:12into the bosom of Miss McCauley's affections.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Fancy spreading your wings?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17We'll lure him out.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK, now hurry up, the High Council's expecting a delivery.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Ustrel needs it soon.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29GLASS SMASHES Oh, for the love of Buffy!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32There's no time for that now, we can't be late.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And remember - breakages come out of your wages,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40so don't fill your overtime sheet in this month.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47ENGINE STARTS
0:14:27 > 0:14:29MACHINE BEEPS
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Committed to peace(?)
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I think not.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59There they are - two, A male and a female. Just look.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03A courting flight - it's beautiful.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Little brother's turning into big brother.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23What do you want?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Keeping an eye on biters is thirsty work.
0:15:26 > 0:15:281311 Chateau Matiyah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Dad won't miss it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33OK, you definitely want something.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Lansley's not the ambassador for peace he'd like you to believe.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I think you should see this. Come, Brother.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- What have they done to him? - It's a breather farm.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Lansley keeps them sedated so they keep producing blood?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54That's sick.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I'm taking this to the High Council. - Lansley and Ustrel go way back.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Lansley was elected because he was supplying him with this blood.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It goes against every bone in my body to say this,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- but perhaps we should tell the slayers.- No.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11If the slayers find out, they'll come after all of us.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Let them kill him... - There are no slayers.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I mind-wiped them all.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18HE SIGHS
0:16:22 > 0:16:27I'm impressed. Now biters are free to rule the world.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30A world not worth living in. A world plunged into darkness.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Don't be such a drama queen!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35We need the slayers. Biters have to be kept in check.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37This is what happens when we aren't.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39And that's a problem, why?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41There'll be bloodshed like never before.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'm salivating in anticipation.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46When the breathers have been drained,
0:16:46 > 0:16:47we'll turn on ourselves.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Peaceful coexistence isn't just about protecting breathers,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54it's about protecting us from ourselves.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Well, you can forget about peaceful coexistence with Lansley around.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02If the slayers can't stop him, you have to.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06He got all these from the arches?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Hang on, that can't be.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Vampire bats!
0:17:24 > 0:17:25SHE SNORES SOFTLY
0:17:35 > 0:17:38You went round that bend too quickly, idiot!

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Come on, turn the torch on.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Go back to the van and get it!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56HE CHUCKLES
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Vladimir! Just doing some work with the homeless.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Don't like to brag about it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I've seen your breather farm.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10LANGLEY SCOFFS
0:18:10 > 0:18:11I'm taking you in.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15You'll stand trial for treason in front of the High Council.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19HE CACKLES
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Look at you now! Helpless!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'm going to have breather farms all over the world!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43INGRID CLAPS SLOWLY
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Bravo, Brother, bravo!
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Not now, Ingrid. I've just dusted a member of the High Council.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Goodness! So you have.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01You knew I'd have to do this if you told me about the breather farms.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Nobody can find out about this.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09We'll have to see about that. Knowledge is power.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13You won't have that power for long. I'll make sure of it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Bring it on, Brother.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Going somewhere?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Bats.- Bats.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Come, come, come. Come.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Je vous en prie, mon ami.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Mais oui.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10That way, that way. Depeche-toi.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Through the window. Mind the parapet.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Can you see the second chimney?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Head for that!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Oh, and be careful of the slate to the left of the chimney.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31SLATES CLATTER
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It's loose.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Woah! Arrrgh!
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Arrrgh!
0:20:48 > 0:20:49HE COUGHS
0:21:02 > 0:21:04What happened here?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Well, I did warn him the roof wasn't safe.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11What's going on? Mr Bertolini, are you OK?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14He's obviously...snuffed it.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16How can you be so callous?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25No, he's still with us. He's got a pulse.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Mr Bertolini, can you hear us?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30HE GROANS FAINTLY
0:21:30 > 0:21:31He's alive!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Vladimir Dracula.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54George Lansley has been found dusted, assassinated by the slayers.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57This stake was found with his ashes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- What?- So much for your peace treaty.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01HE HISSES
0:22:01 > 0:22:06This is a declaration of war. We will bring every last slayer...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- ..to their knees.- We strike now.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10This could have been planted.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Manufacturing evidence to start war for political means is nothing new.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17It's time to stand up and be counted.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19SHE HISSES
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I agree. The war cabinet must be convened.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Interested?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28What about the breather farm?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- What of it? - I'll tell the High Council about it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32They wouldn't care.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36They will if they find out you're Lansley's silent partner.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You have no proof of that.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I'm sure I'll find some.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44You have no idea what I'm capable of.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Peace stands.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Like you said,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01there's no real proof it was the slayers who killed Lansley.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Ustrel! Apologies, nobody told me we had a guest.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Drink? Renfield!
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Renfield!
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Where is that putrid worm? - Allow me.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23HE SNIFFS
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Go on. It's free range.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30And delicious. So much better than what Lansley used to produce.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33They're better fed and exercised now.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It makes all the difference.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The breather farm is still going?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41What are you going to do? Report us to the slayers?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Oh.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Oh! Master Vlad, take me home.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Everybody's being really nice to me. It's like a holiday from hell.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Don't worry, this place is closing down.- Right.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23COCKEREL CROWS
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Miss McCauley!
0:24:31 > 0:24:33How is he?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36He'll make a full recovery.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37No thanks to you.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Oh, well, that is, er, good news.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41One second.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46You were meant to fix that roof.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Rest assured he will be...severely punished.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- This is all your fault...- Yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- ..you useless, worm-faced...- Ah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03..good for nothing imbecile.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07You mentioned a severe punishment?
0:25:07 > 0:25:08HE SIGHS
0:25:11 > 0:25:12That'll do for starters.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Keep up, weasel face.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- HE SIGHS - What now?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I thought you'd like to be the first to congratulate me
0:25:24 > 0:25:27on being elected to the High Council. Now we're equal.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We both have power. It's not the same thing.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's how you use it that counts.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34How right you are.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Be warned, Ingrid - power corrupts.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I've misused mine and look what's happened.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40I've lost Erin and Bertrand.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I won't make the same mistakes you have.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44I was born to be a leader.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Nobody's born to be a leader. You learn the hard way.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Well, while you're righting your wrongs,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I will be declaring war on the slayers.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Haven't you listened to a word I've just said?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59What can go wrong?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03It can only be a triumphant victory,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06thanks to you mind-wiping them.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Renfield!
