0:00:16 > 0:00:18GROWLING

0:00:18 > 0:00:22KNOCK ON DOOR

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Whoa, whoa. Top up your stasis spray.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33No pulse. You're good.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Come in.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Well, definitely more than last night.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55A smile wouldn't kill them.

0:00:55 > 0:01:00It's going to take time to drive out that mix of bloodlust and attitude.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Wonderful news. Your fiancee, the Princess Adze,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08will be presented to you in five minutes.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12I think it is time to ditch the breather trash.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19He can't force you into this engagement. Just don't show up.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22She's Ramanga's daughter. I can't insult him.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25I need his support with the High Council.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29- I will find a way to get rid of her. - We will find a way.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32We are in this together.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Ah! Message from Van Helsing.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38He is going to be late delivering the blood to feed the ferals.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Why aren't we upstairs, why are we stuck in the classroom

0:01:41 > 0:01:43like a bunch of kids?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46The Draculas are hosting an important ritual.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49And they don't want us making the place look untidy.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Is that why we haven't got our blood? Vlad is too busy partying?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Our supplies have been delayed! - Not good enough.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01A suit?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, jeans and a T-shirt would have been seen as disrespectful.

0:02:04 > 0:02:10- You sure you want to be here for this?- Are you kidding?

0:02:10 > 0:02:13I want to get a proper look at the competition.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- There is no competition. - Right answer.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Ha! A great day, old friend.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23The first step in joining together two noble houses.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Ah, well!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Is this seat taken?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36It is now.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Unless my senses deceive me, that perfume you are wearing...

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Is distilled from the flower of the deadly nightshade.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50The deadly nightshade... is the emblem of my clan.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Really?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55I had no idea.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59FANFARE

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I present Princess Adze.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Absolutely charming. You are a fortunate man, Vlad.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40APPLAUSE

0:03:43 > 0:03:45APPLAUSE

0:03:50 > 0:03:52APPLAUSE

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Remember, the chosen couple must not meet again

0:04:00 > 0:04:05until the blood tea ceremony tomorrow night.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15So, what did you think of your new consort? No need to answer!

0:04:16 > 0:04:21- I can see the desire in your eyes. - HE CACKLES

0:04:23 > 0:04:25What is the blood tea ceremony?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Just part of the process.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31All show, no substance, just like my engagement.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33There is a problem with the ferals.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Some of them have tried to raid the school nature club.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45They are desperate for a feed. I can't contain them for much longer.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm sorry.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Do you want to go back to dossing about in abandoned buildings

0:04:50 > 0:04:52and feeding off stray cats?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Because if you want a life here, the only way it is going to work

0:04:56 > 0:04:58is if you listen to Bertrand and me.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02- If you can't deliver, I'll find my own food.- Lose the attitude, Ryan.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Stay out of it, breather. - What are you talking about?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09That is not funny, Ryan.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13OK, bad joke. Chill out.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19What happened? You cut it fine.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Persuading slayers to donate their blood is turning out

0:05:22 > 0:05:24to be a lot tougher than we thought.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm going to have to introduce the soya blood earlier than I planned.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29I will get Renfield to start producing.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33- We are going to need volume.- What is this I hear about your fiancee?

0:05:33 > 0:05:40She is not my fiancee. Bertrand, I need you to do some digging on Adze.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's all going to plan. Nobody suspects a thing.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- What are you doing in here? - Fancied a walk after dinner.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Who was with you?

0:06:12 > 0:06:20- I thought I heard voices.- No. It's just me.- Let's get back to class.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Can't have you lot roaming around.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23You look...positively...malevolent.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28You say the nicest things.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Eyes full of treachery. Lips as cold as a grave.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Did I do something wrong?- On the contrary. You have done nothing.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53You agreed to help me get a seat on the High Council.

0:07:53 > 0:07:59- I will, you have my word!- As what? An evil, duplicitous vampire noble?

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Hardly a cast iron guarantee, is it?

0:08:04 > 0:08:08I think actions speak so much louder than words.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I don't think you're meant to be up there.- I heard there was a party.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- I thought I might crash it. - Party? I wish.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Just my brother's boring engagement. - Maybe we could liven it up a bit.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- You love to stir things, don't you? - It is part of my charm.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39DOOR CREAKS Go.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Adze's ancestry is without blemish.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52She is the direct descendant

0:08:52 > 0:08:56of numerous kings and princes going back centuries.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- On paper she is the perfect match for you.- "Perfect"?!

0:08:58 > 0:09:01She wouldn't be interested in Vlad if he wasn't the chosen one!

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Thanks(!)

0:09:02 > 0:09:06I mean, she is a mercenary. Total gravedigger.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Nail her in a coffin and post her somewhere sunny.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11If there are no skeletons in her cupboard, we create one.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13And we catch it on digital camera.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16We show the video to Ramanga and the Count.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20Adze is disgraced, and it's "bye-bye, engagement". Sounds good.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Usually my feminist principles

0:09:22 > 0:09:25would have me questioning such a chauvinistic plan.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- But in this case... - I'll give it a go.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34You think I'm punching above my weight?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Before the peace, she was a traditional vampire.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Now, offer her dinner and you could be on the menu.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45Look, I'm a trained slayer. I can look after myself.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Look, I want to do this. Vlad and Erin's relationship represents

0:09:49 > 0:09:51the future for vamps and breathers.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55- I won't let anything destroy that. - No, it's too dangerous.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57He'll be fine. Like he said, he can handle himself.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02If anything goes wrong... Well, you know what I'm saying.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Better dead than undead.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- No offence.- None taken.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Right.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Good evening, princess.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25For you.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28You know if I touch them, they'll wither and die.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Not these. They've been dipped in liquid nitrogen.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35Like you, their beauty is frozen in time.

0:10:43 > 0:10:50- Are you enjoying your visit? - It has its attractions.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Yeah, this is quite an interesting old building.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Look into my eyes.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Deeper.

0:11:03 > 0:11:09- She's going in for the kill.- I just need one shot.- Deeper.- Vlad...

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Vlad!- OK, get him out.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Jonno, there you are. Your mum's on the phone.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25A sensitive vampire. Who knew(?)

0:11:25 > 0:11:26It's about dignity.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Jonno put his life on the line and you're worried about your feelings!

0:11:30 > 0:11:31We're a bit busy, Dad.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Take a moment to ensure those sewer rats who attend your school

0:11:35 > 0:11:38leave the premises before sunrise.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42I found her vagabond brother dossing under my desk.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45If I find him there again...

0:11:45 > 0:11:48he'll be undead meat.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Well, not long now till the blood tea ceremony.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Your time's almost up.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58What did he mean?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Ignore him, but if Ryan's taken to wandering about the school,

0:12:01 > 0:12:03we need to find him before the breather kids arrive.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04I'll track him down.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Not on your own.

0:12:06 > 0:12:07I can look after myself

0:12:07 > 0:12:10and you need to concentrate on getting rid of Adze.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18You haven't told her what the blood tea ceremony really means,

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- have you?- No need. It's not going to happen.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45KNOCK AT DOOR

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Enter.

0:12:50 > 0:12:55Princess. Vladimir Dracula sent me to see if there's anything you need.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58I need distraction.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10I mentioned your candidacy to the president.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13And for the next ten minutes, I couldn't get a word out of him

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- cos he was laughing so hard.- Ugh!

0:13:16 > 0:13:19It's going to take a while.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- You'll be overturning centuries of tradition.- You've got two weeks.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26So delightfully unreasonable.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29I just have faith in your powers of persuasion.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Hmm.- The rewards will be great...for both of us.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Are you spying on me?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59I like to think of it as looking out for you.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02He's got to be 600 if he's a decade.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Apparently, he's 515, unless you think he lies about his age.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10I'm playing the long game. You wouldn't understand.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13You might be surprised.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15The Magnus Fibula.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18It's the history of the high council so I'll know

0:14:18 > 0:14:21if Ramanga is lying to me.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24So I don't need "looking out for".

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Yeah, but isn't it good to know you've got backup?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Just in case.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Ryan?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Sorry.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Yah! Yah! Yah!

0:14:58 > 0:15:00SHE LAUGHS

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Could you...teach me?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Ready?- Mmm.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18SHE GIGGLES

0:15:25 > 0:15:29- You've just been fed. - Bottle-fed, like a baby.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32They could hand you over to the slayers for this.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Better not tell anyone, then.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Brutal.- Why won't you listen to Vlad? You'd have a much better life.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50Vlad? Why do you think he's so special?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56He's about to dump you for a princess.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15You are aware of the allegations Vladimir has made against you?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Can you offer any defence?

0:16:20 > 0:16:22I was alone and bored?

0:16:22 > 0:16:24VLAD SIGHS

0:16:24 > 0:16:27So you threw yourself at my friend?

0:16:27 > 0:16:31I refuse to marry someone who goes off with the first guy

0:16:31 > 0:16:33that flatters her.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37But this is as good as it gets!

0:16:37 > 0:16:39- She's your perfect partner.- What?!

0:16:39 > 0:16:44- I see no grounds to cancel the engagement.- Nor I.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well... until the blood tea ceremony.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55Ugh!

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Who does that Dracula brat think he is?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Once he has bitten you at the wedding

0:17:00 > 0:17:05and given you the powers due to the wife of the Chosen One,

0:17:05 > 0:17:09then you make take your revenge.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Yes, Father.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13But in the meantime,

0:17:13 > 0:17:17could I...sharpen my fangs on his girlfriend?

0:17:19 > 0:17:23A direct assault could be too easily placed at your door.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Tell me about this brother of hers.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33I don't know why this is such a disaster.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37OK, setting up Adze didn't work, because in your weird vampire world,

0:17:37 > 0:17:40your girlfriend cheating on you is a good thing.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Why am I getting the feeling there's something I don't know?

0:17:47 > 0:17:48See you at class.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57The blood tea ceremony isn't as meaningless as I made out.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59OK.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Dad, Ramanga, Adze and I all have to drink blood from the same cup.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Once that's happened, a solid promise has been made.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10If I break off the engagement after that,

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Ramanga and his entire clan are honour-bound

0:18:13 > 0:18:15to hunt me down and kill me.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Haven't they heard of relationship counselling?

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm really sorry.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22You need to stop thinking you know best.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Lying to me, putting Jonno in danger...

0:18:26 > 0:18:29You know what? Maybe this is too difficult.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Maybe for the sake of the peace treaty,

0:18:32 > 0:18:35you should just go ahead and marry Adze.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Um...

0:18:39 > 0:18:42- I don't really mean it.- Good.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52TYRES SCREECH

0:18:58 > 0:18:59METAL CLUNKING

0:19:04 > 0:19:06CLUNKING GETS LOUDER

0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Jonno, what is it? - I was ambushed by a Vamp.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Unless your ferals have developed a taste for cornflakes,

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- we've got nothing to feed them. - You need to go to the classroom,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30tell Bertrand to keep them calm.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Come on.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40Were you successful? Did you get the proof we need?

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Ah!

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Your, er...soya blood, Master Vlad.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Excellent.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Where's the rest of it?

0:20:07 > 0:20:09That is the rest of it.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11You're kidding me.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Soya blood doesn't grow on trees, you know.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15Technically it does, I suppose.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Renfield!- Look, it's a long process.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21You said I had three days, I only had one.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Urgh!

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Ow.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40VAMPIRE LAUGHS

0:20:40 > 0:20:42No! Stop!

0:20:44 > 0:20:47You can't suppress their natural bloodlust, Vladdy.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Your grand experiment is going to end amid a fury of murder

0:20:51 > 0:20:54and mayhem, as I always knew it would.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56HE LAUGHS

0:21:02 > 0:21:04- It's Miss McCauley.- Hmm?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09They'll tear her limb from limb. Go.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Hurry, hurry!

0:21:31 > 0:21:32Can I help you?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54A brilliant plan, Vlad.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58No-one can resist the allure of a full-bodied Spanish Contessa.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Or a robust Prussian Archduke.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Sip it, sip it!

0:22:04 > 0:22:08Relish the high notes of paprika and the delicious essence of fear,

0:22:08 > 0:22:12infused in the very moment the victim knew they were to be drained.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14HE BURPS LOUDLY

0:22:14 > 0:22:15Barbarian.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Ooh, sorry.

0:22:40 > 0:22:45I only drink soya blood and as we all have to sip from the same cup...

0:22:47 > 0:22:48For the sake of your engagement,

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Ramanga and I are willing to suffer the indignities of your...

0:22:52 > 0:22:53veggie option.

0:22:53 > 0:22:58That's a shame because Renfield's only produced a few spoonfuls so far.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Not enough to go round.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Actually, Master, I forgot I kept back half

0:23:04 > 0:23:07a bottle from the old suppliers for a special occasion, such as this!

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Obviously, when I go to full production,

0:23:10 > 0:23:13we won't have to rely on such substandard...

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Very thoughtful of you, Renfield.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Thank you very much.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:23:34 > 0:23:35HE RECITES INCANTATION

0:23:37 > 0:23:38HE MOUTHS ALONG

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Right.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36- An outrage should be addressed right now.- Then waste no more time.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41No-one touches her.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45What about her brother?

0:24:45 > 0:24:51By his actions, her brother has brought about the Chosen One's

0:24:51 > 0:24:55plans for peaceful co-existence to the brink of collapse.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Her brother's, I believe.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19That's the same jacket the vampire

0:25:19 > 0:25:22who stole the blood supplies was wearing.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26His crimes go on and on and on.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Who's been a naughty boy?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45he came up to my room and spent the whole time sleeping.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53But the proof...

0:25:58 > 0:26:00There's plenty here who'd like to.
