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

0:24:32 > 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.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00A breather has been attacked.

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?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53But the proof...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Just goes to show that someone is trying to frame Ryan

0:25:58 > 0:26:00There's plenty here who'd like to.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03But for now, let's assume it was renegades.
