0:00:22 > 0:00:24SHE SNARLS

0:00:27 > 0:00:28You weren't followed?

0:00:28 > 0:00:32It's not amateur hour. What's with all the cloak and stake stuff?

0:00:32 > 0:00:36- I've news from the High Council. - They're going to accept me?

0:00:36 > 0:00:39If you can prove your vampiric qualities exceed those

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- of an average girl.- How?

0:00:41 > 0:00:44You'll be set three tasks to demonstrate your ruthlessness,

0:00:44 > 0:00:49deviousness and most importantly your willingness to inflict pain.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Sounds fun. What's first?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55I want to know whether your brother and his half-fang sidekick

0:00:55 > 0:00:58- are plotting to stop the blood binding.- Of course they are.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Vlad's always been a sad romantic,

0:01:00 > 0:01:02he won't want to marry someone he's not in love with.

0:01:02 > 0:01:08- GROWLS: Love is irrelevant! Adze must be his bride.- Relax.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09I'll find out what he's up to.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's not just a place at the High Council at stake.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's the future of all our kind.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30HE SINGS TO HIMSELF

0:01:30 > 0:01:31SLURPING

0:01:31 > 0:01:32Hmm?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49I could do with a hand here.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Do I look like I was born into the serving classes?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54I don't think so. Scram!

0:01:56 > 0:01:57SHOUTING

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- ONLOOKERS:- Go on, go on!

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Look, this "hugging a hoodie" experiment of yours is disaster.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06- They've been helping myself to my cellar.- Actually, Dad, that was me.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- You?- The blood the Slayer's Guild provided has run out.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12We had to tap into your blood cellar for emergency supplies

0:02:12 > 0:02:15and just so we're clear, this isn't an experiment.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- SCRAP is here to stay.- "SCRAP"?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21School For Coexistence, Respect And Peace.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23You call this respect?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- SCRATCHING - Ow!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Finish it!- Can't hack it, can you?

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- ONLOOKERS:- Malik, Malik, Malik!

0:02:32 > 0:02:33- ONLOOKERS:- Yes!

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Master? Master, help me.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39You were supposed to rationing the blood to one glass each,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- not splashing it about.- I did, but they wouldn't listen to me.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45The sooner he starts production of the soya blood,

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- the less we have to take from you. - So get to it

0:02:47 > 0:02:49before they drain me dry.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- McCauley's been looking for you. - Ah, then she need look...

0:02:55 > 0:02:58KISS ..no further.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03There had better be enough decent vintage for the blood binding.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I don't do second-best.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12WHISPER: You are making slow progress,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15ingratiating yourself with the Draculas.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18The Count just sees me as another one of the Revamp kids

0:03:18 > 0:03:21and Vlad's so tight with Erin I don't even get a look-in.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26Erin. Erin. Erin.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28I got a call from the police this morning.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31I assure you, that break-in at the museum was nothing to do with me.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35I've no knowledge of the whereabouts of the ancient Pygmy skulls.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- That's not why they called. - Then forget everything I just said.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Crime in the area has dropped 20%

0:03:40 > 0:03:42since you opened your evening classes.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Really?- These young people are taking the chance we're giving them.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Well done, Mr Count.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Your compassion is paying off. - One does what one can

0:03:54 > 0:03:56for those less fortunate than oneself.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Why don't we keep that momentum going

0:03:58 > 0:04:01by rewarding them with a place on the Student Senate?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Empowering young people is always a good idea.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Yeah.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08SHE SNEEZES

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Thank you.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Um, you'll let me know who you think best for the Student Senate?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Of course, of course.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27SHE BLOWS HER NOSE NOISILY

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Thank you.

0:04:29 > 0:04:35- Keep it. A gift.- Thank you.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41What about getting rid of Adze?

0:04:43 > 0:04:48- Then we're left with no option - we make her disappear.- Kill her.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49We kidnap her.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Lock her up and forge a note saying that she's run away

0:04:52 > 0:04:55because she can't face going through with the blood binding.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Ingrid.- No flies on you, brother. - What do you want?

0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Only what you want. - Which is?- Rid of Adze.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06HE LAUGHS MOCKINGLY

0:05:06 > 0:05:12- It's OK, I'm onside. - Side Ingrid?- You've got me all wrong.

0:05:12 > 0:05:18- So come on, what's the plan?- There is no plan.- Then let's think of one.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm sure if we put our heads together, we can outsmart her.

0:05:20 > 0:05:25You really want to help? OK. Well, the truants need rounding up.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32I'd love to, but I have to prep for my next lesson.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34It's not fair that those who actually

0:05:34 > 0:05:36want to learn suffer now, is it?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42VLAD CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:05:48 > 0:05:50We'll work it out.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52You want me to spy on my own sister?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55If I'm going to take my rightful place on the High Council,

0:05:55 > 0:05:58I need to find out how they're planning to get Vlad

0:05:58 > 0:05:59out of the blood binding.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Why me? - Because they don't trust my motives.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm hardly Erin's favourite person.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Tell her you're sorry, play the family card.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Breathers are hopelessly sentimental,

0:06:14 > 0:06:16she'll want to believe you.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- What's in it for me? - A share in the power.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I won't forget who helped get me onto the High Council.

0:06:35 > 0:06:41- You're not serious? No breathers? - It's the guest list, not the menu.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Vlad's right. Now that we all live in peace,

0:06:44 > 0:06:47we should respect each other's traditions.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Fine. But the invites go out tomorrow.- We haven't set a date yet.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- The Feast of Azazelo. - But that's only two weeks away.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Is that a problem? - You wanted to see us?

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Oh, yes.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04I've decided to put one of the ferals forward

0:07:04 > 0:07:05for the School Student Senate.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07RAMANGA: Hmm?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well, they'll never take peaceful coexistence seriously

0:07:09 > 0:07:11if we don't empower them.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14YOU don't take peaceful coexistence seriously.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17How sharper than a bat's fang it is to have a thankless child.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18You find a candidate

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- and we'll put them to the test. - Excellent idea.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24They can undertake the Trial of Gwyn Ap Noir.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25THEY SOUND IMPRESSED

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Three nights in the Caves of Carthusia

0:07:27 > 0:07:29where they'll face their biggest fear

0:07:29 > 0:07:32and from where only one can return.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Or alternatively, we can do a quiz.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Ramanga, as representative of the High Council,

0:07:38 > 0:07:40perhaps you could set the questions.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Let battle commence.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Garlic gas.- Check. - UV stun grenades.- Check.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Blood trap.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Ready?- Yeah.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Caught this lot bunking school. - Thanks. Saved us a job.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- They've promised they won't be any more trouble.- Good.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Right, you lot, with me. Come on. - Come on, guys.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25- How are you doing? - I'm all right. You?

0:08:26 > 0:08:30I'm sorry, I've been a bit out of order recently.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Understatement of the year.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35And I'm sorry I never thanked you for standing up to Ramanga.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- I heard about Vlad and Adze getting married.- Hot gossip, is it?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43Are you really going to let it happen?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Don't have much of a choice, do I?

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Maybe they're not planning anything. - Of course they are.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01They just won't tell you unless they really think you've changed.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Which I haven't.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07How do you fancy a place on the School Senate?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Whoopie-doo(!)

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's your chance to lead for once

0:09:11 > 0:09:14unless you enjoy being Malik's lapdog.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- I'm nobody's lapdog. - So prove it. Be your own biter.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Aah...

0:09:27 > 0:09:28HE SLURPS AND SWILLS

0:09:29 > 0:09:34- I'm getting, I'm getting...aristocracy.- Oh, yeah.

0:09:34 > 0:09:39A suggestion of Moldovian, but yes...a subtle aftertaste of Bavaria.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44- And number two.- Thank you.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51Ah, now, this is full-bodied.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53HE COUGHS

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Strong!- Oh.

0:09:55 > 0:10:01- A vigorous vintage, plenty of iron. - So, which one's the soya blood?

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- That one.- How did you guess?

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Imbecile.

0:10:17 > 0:10:23Though the taste is remarkably authentic, you have saved my cellar.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26RENFIELD LAUGHS Honestly, Renfield, I could...

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Ooh, bitey-bitey-bitey? - ..not do that.- Oh.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38Hi, Adze. Do you fancy grabbing a bite to eat later?

0:10:38 > 0:10:42- I don't do gooseberry. - Not with Erin, just you and me.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45You were right about her being needy. I just need some space.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52Needy? You want some space? You've got it.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59So how about it, dinner?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02No-can-do, I'm getting my fangs polished tonight.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Erin.- Did it work?- She's getting her fangs polished tonight.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15We can snatch her then.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Ow, did you have to make it quite so convincing?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Vlad? I'm putting Ryan forward for the Student Senate.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25I thought the idea was to find an envoy for PEACEFUL coexistence.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28And I thought you believed in giving the disenfranchised a second chance?

0:11:28 > 0:11:33Or is that merely sales-speak of ineffectual do-gooders?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36I'll find out who Bertrand has lined up for your opponent.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Extra tuition in my room in five. We're going to win this thing.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53I want to be a proper brother again.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07I'm going to stop Adze marrying Vlad.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Wait.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15LAUGHTER/BATS SQUEAKING

0:12:20 > 0:12:21Settle down, please.

0:12:23 > 0:12:24COMMOTION SETTLES

0:12:29 > 0:12:34OK, today we are learning about Ludlow Erant.

0:12:34 > 0:12:40He led the Great Crusade of the Night Eaters into Crisano.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43On his return, the conquering hero was elected to the High Council.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Didn't he kill, like, 3,000 slayers? - At least.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49The streams of the Crisanian Mountains

0:12:49 > 0:12:51run red with slayers' blood.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55But they got their revenge when a mole infiltrated the coronation

0:12:55 > 0:12:59and inserted garlic-tipped thorns into his crown.

0:12:59 > 0:13:05If it wasn't for warriors like Ludlow Erant saving us from the slayers,

0:13:05 > 0:13:07vampires would've been wiped from this earth.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Except now we're supposed to just mosh together?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Vampires, slayers, breathers?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14It doesn't mean we have to give up our identity.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's important to know who you are and where

0:13:17 > 0:13:19- you come from. - But if we're descended

0:13:19 > 0:13:21from warriors like him, isn't that who we are?

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Times are different now.

0:13:46 > 0:13:51- I need your candidate for the Student Senate.- Malik.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Right, you do know this position holds a lot of responsibility?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58He's a natural born leader.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01If HE embraces peaceful coexistence, the others will fall into place.

0:14:01 > 0:14:06Well, I suppose the others do look up to him. Good thinking.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31I've got a tank full of garlic just to knock Adze out.

0:14:31 > 0:14:32But we still need to work out

0:14:32 > 0:14:36- how to get her from the dentist to the warehouse.- Ah, Vladdy.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40Renfield's got the first batch of soya blood ready.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43I'll let the Slayer's Guild know we no longer need their supplies.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47You can inform them once my cellar has been replenished.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53- Right, how do I look? - Like you're seeing Miss McCauley.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Vlad? This is my candidate for the Senate, Clarissa Mountjoy.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- But you've already chosen Malik as your candidate.- Malik?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Why would I do that? He's been nothing but trouble.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10- You told me to my face.- I did not.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Transylvania, we have a problem.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Miss McCauley's invited a photographer

0:15:17 > 0:15:20from the local paper to cover tonight's quiz.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Brilliant. How do we get out of this one?- I have every faith in you.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Look, there's no way Malik...

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Malik's your candidate. Work with it.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44I've got a class.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Revise your Transylvanian lineage while I'm gone.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- WHISPERS:- We don't want to arouse suspicions.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Play dumb and make sure you lose the quiz.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Being on the Student Senate will get me in with the Draculas.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26Ryan must win. I'll make sure he receives the questions.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Vlad draws his strength from Erin.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32We can get to her through her brother.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Yes. Ah-ha.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Yes.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35GROWLING

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Ryan wants to help.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43I've borrowed Malik's bike, if that's any use.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49What do you think?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53We could do with an extra pair of hands

0:17:53 > 0:17:55getting Adze to the warehouse.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58You're in.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'll knock her out at the dentist, you

0:18:00 > 0:18:03and Ryan pick her up after the Senate quiz.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06- You forge the note.- Ryan?

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Thanks.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10It's what families are for.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Now all we have two do is make sure Miss McCauley

0:18:15 > 0:18:18and the news reporter don't turn up to the Senate quiz.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Task complete.- Mmm.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30What's he doing here?

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Tell him. - They're going to kidnap Adze.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35HE GROWLS

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Ah. Stock.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58The master, he loves his broccoli soup.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Smells delicious.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Really?- This is for the winner of the Senate quiz.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08It will need a clean before we present it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Straight away, Miss.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh, I...

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Oh, yes, Professor Renfield, at your service.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Ow, ow!

0:19:37 > 0:19:39What was that?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Renfield, come on.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55It's the soy blood.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59How dare you?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Did you use Transylvanian pigweed?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Might have done.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07He'll be out for hours.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12COUNT SNORES

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Just checking.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20The reporter's arrived.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22What's happened?

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Renfield's a genius.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30I am?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I am!

0:20:33 > 0:20:36After we've done a tour of the school, you can meet some of our

0:20:36 > 0:20:38new intake before we do the Senate quiz.
