0:00:15 > 0:00:19LOUD DRONING HUM
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Please tell me he's not going to be doing that the whole time.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Father Tollunde is a deeply religious vampire.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31His mantra keeps him in a constant state of heightened awareness,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34something we thought might be important
0:00:34 > 0:00:36after the recent assassination attempt.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I don't need a bodyguard,
0:00:38 > 0:00:42especially not a weird, droning one, no offence.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47As The Chosen One, you're simply too important to risk.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51And, given your interest in alternative vampiric lifestyles,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I thought his mantra might appeal to you.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Perhaps he could join you in your meditation sessions.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02You seem to know a lot about me, Mr...?
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Roquelour. As VHC Security Chief, it's my job to know.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Like I know that your sister has been
0:01:10 > 0:01:14listening in to our conversation for the last five minutes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Not listening in, actually.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I just didn't want to leave Vlad alone with a stranger.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24He's very important to us, too.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30OK, so, I've got some privacy issues,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33but don't you think, as The Chosen One, I can look after myself?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36In a straight fight, perhaps.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But what about if it's a...
0:01:40 > 0:01:41surprise attack?!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45DEEP VOICE: You're welcome.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49It's only a temporary measure,
0:01:49 > 0:01:54until the assassins who tried to take your life are caught.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Yeah, well, I-I-I knew you were going to do that, obviously.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I'm so powerful now, stakes practically bounce off me.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I, er...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I laugh in... in the face of pointy wood.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Ha!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, what does it do?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Aside from the really annoying droning.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Oh, is that him? I thought the washing machine was on the blink.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- You know, when it brr, brr... - He doesn't do anything.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26He's not meant to react unless I'm in danger.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Oh.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Interesting.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Renfield, I think one of your cockroaches
0:02:31 > 0:02:33just climbed down Vlad's collar.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Never fear, Master, I'll catch the tasty blighter.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Hey... Hey... Ugh...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You're welcome.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- INGRID LAUGHS - Oh, yes, very funny for you,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48but I've got him following me around all day waiting for an attack,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50which isn't exactly ideal, is it?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Hm? Oh, yes, yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Yes, you'll be quite safe with him around, won't you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Vlad, Vlad, a word.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59RENFIELD GRUNTS
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's going to be...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09It's going to be very difficult to keep
0:03:09 > 0:03:10the fact that your, er...
0:03:10 > 0:03:13(powers are fading) from him, isn't it?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Yes, that was what I was referring to, yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18A bit further down here.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- So do something about it.- No.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's the only way.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28You need to do something to, er...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31suppress your human side.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I am not biting anyone!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34KNOCK AT DOOR
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Ah! Well, then, you'll have to come up with something else
0:03:37 > 0:03:41before HE works it out and WE... are all dust.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Now, Ren, Ren, Ren...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Renfield, come on! This is no time for lazing around.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Do you really expect me to answer my own front door?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52No!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Come on, depeche toi!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Yes, thank you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, this complicates things.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It certainly does.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Argh!
0:04:10 > 0:04:16After the open house fiasco, I've decided to call in a professional.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20A vampire property consultant has offered his services and...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I need you to show him around.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25KNOCK AT DOOR
0:04:25 > 0:04:27But, but!
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Stop him seeing why we need to leave in the first place.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Mm-hm-hm-hm hm-hm?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You'll get it, you'll get it, come on.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Oh! You mean The Mag...
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Ow!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Yes, yes. On second thoughts, I'll show him around.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50You guard the old, er, you-know-what room and don't let anyone in.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Right.- And would you please, PLEASE, get rid of all this bread!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57You know, if there's one thing I don't understand,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00it's humanity's obsession with carbohydrates.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03RENFIELD GRUNTS, KNOCKING CONTINUES
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Door!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, look at the mess! The mess!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Mmnth-mmmnn, mmn-mm!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Mmn mmmn mmmn!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Roughly translated as welcome to Garside, Mr...
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm so sorry, I've forgotten your name.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Sh...andor. Alexi Shandor.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yes, yes, that's the one.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'm hoping you're as good as you say you are.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Oh, I am.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30When I'm finished, vampires will be fighting to buy this house.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35In fact, I can promise a total bloodbath.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I knew I liked you. This way. - Thank you.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Mm-mn, after you.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46VLAD DRONES UNCERTAINLY
0:05:46 > 0:05:48It's OK. Use it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51SHE DRONES CONFIDENTLY
0:05:51 > 0:05:55VLAD JOINS IN
0:05:57 > 0:05:58No! No, no, no, no, no.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'm sorry, but you're totally messing with my chi.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- I'll have to insist you wait outside.- But Mr Roq...
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Mr Roq has checked in here. That is the only way in and she's...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Well, she's only a girl.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oi!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I mean, yes. I am indeed a weak girl.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Go on.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We need to find those bounty hunters. Quickly.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I'd love to help, I really would, but Master said I must stay here.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh, come on. With your scientific genius,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39his strength and her...
0:06:39 > 0:06:40cute nose...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh, thanks.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46..we'll be able to sleuth our way to the bounty hunters in seconds.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48What do you say?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50You had me at "genius".
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Those bounty hunters
0:07:09 > 0:07:14are about to get their bounty...hunted!
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Ha-ha-ha... Ow!
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Garlic gas residue?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32A most beguiling house, Mr Count,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34it would be such a shame
0:07:34 > 0:07:36if it wasn't to achieve its full potential...
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Yes, I'm really rather, rather fond of it, actually.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46After you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Interesting!
0:07:51 > 0:07:52RENFIELD LAUGHS
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Ow!
0:07:55 > 0:07:56RENFIELD SNIFFS
0:07:57 > 0:08:01TOLLUNDE DRONES, VLAD WHISPERS
0:08:09 > 0:08:12This could be the one. Sharing information with...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15VLAD WHISPERS
0:08:24 > 0:08:25RENFIELD SNIFFS
0:08:25 > 0:08:28RENFIELD INHALES DEEPLY
0:08:30 > 0:08:32RENFIELD SNIFFS
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:08:41 > 0:08:42If I may?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The garlic gas used by the...
0:08:50 > 0:08:55The garlic gas used by the Bounty Hunters was manufactured
0:08:55 > 0:08:59from a rare bulb grown on the slopes
0:08:59 > 0:09:01of an obscure Himalayan mountain range.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05How does that help us?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Because I have tracked down the exact manufacturing plant
0:09:10 > 0:09:13that weaponised the garlic.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Right, well, where is that?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Well, it's the Himalayas. So, I propose a fact-finding mission to...
0:09:21 > 0:09:22To the Himalayas?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Yes, that's right. So...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Couldn't we just use the bounty hunters' business card?
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Because it's got the bat box number on the back.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Has it?- And then we hand them over to the VHC.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Huh, let me see that.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Ow!
0:09:42 > 0:09:43You're welcome.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44TOLLUNDE RESUMES DRONING
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Do you know how long a VHC investigation takes?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52No. We can't wait. We track down the bounty hunters ourselves.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56But first things first, we get rid of him.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I love what you've done in here!
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Oh, it takes a powerful man to pull off a throne room.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11And this, this just screams diabolical grandeur.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Well, you know, one...one... one tries one's best.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19But, if I may be so bold, it feels like it's missing something.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Bats.- Oh, really? Bats? In a throne room?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, we call them... living heritage ornaments.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Droppings can be a problem, but you have a, er, domestic, do you not?
0:10:31 > 0:10:37Oh, yes, yes, and Renfield has been a little, er, idle of late.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well, you only have to bring them out for viewings.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I have some samples outside if you're interested,
0:10:41 > 0:10:46including a brace of magnificent Diphylla Reptilous.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Very rare.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54Well, that's all very well, but this sounds, er...expensive.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well, these ARE premium bats.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Well, yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- But you've caught me in a good mood. - Oh!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Have them on a trial basis.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07If they don't get you a sale, I'll take them away.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You don't pay a thing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Well, in that case, bring on the bats! Ha-ha-ha!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh, yes. Oh, bag!
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Thank you.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Operation Chosen DONE is afoot. - Clever.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I've been gossip-bombing Vlad at the VHC,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34but to finish the job, we've got to get rid of that bodyguard.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37How do you suggest we do that? Have you seen the size of him?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- That shouldn't be a problem. - What?! You go after him, then!
0:11:40 > 0:11:41What are you doing here?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The failure of the bounty hunters proved only a Ramanga
0:11:44 > 0:11:46can get justice for our father.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So, what? You're planning revenge with interior design?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52No.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Now we're both on the inside, we pick off the family one by one.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02So, how exactly do you start a career in property consultation?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Well, you see...
0:12:04 > 0:12:05You, er, you really must tell me...
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- ..interest in architecture... - ..thing with your fringe...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Hello!- Hello!- Hello!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Is there a basement here?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Keep working on Tollunde, see if he ever lets his guard down.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'll keep working the VHC, pull some strings.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25TOLLUNDE DRONES
0:12:32 > 0:12:35VLAD AND TALITHA'S VOICES BEHIND DOOR
0:12:35 > 0:12:37So, when's your next break?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Tollunde does not need a "break".
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Really?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Tollunde has a trained body.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Tollunde exists on a higher plane.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Tollunde...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54SOUND OF TAPE TANGLING
0:12:54 > 0:12:55TAPE UNSPOOLS
0:12:55 > 0:12:59..is a massive, droning idiot.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Mr Roq will not be happy.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09So, who's first? Vlad?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11No, the Count's other son.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16He thinks you saved his life, so it should be easy to get him alone.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19You'll have the honour of the first kill.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Um, yes. That would be an honour.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41(Vlad?)
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Vlad?- What?!
0:13:43 > 0:13:44You look a bit nervous.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I've got no powers, I've got enemies everywhere
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and I'm waiting in a cafe to meet the assassins
0:13:48 > 0:13:50who've been paid to kill me.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Yes, I'm a bit nervous.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57One of them's just walked in.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, where's the other one?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01What do we do?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Play it cool.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Stake her out.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Really?- Mm.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09OK.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10What are you...?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Don't move. We've got you surrounded.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18What did you do that for?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21You said to stake her out.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23As in a stakeout. American cop cars,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26coffee and doughnuts? Not STAKE out.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Oh.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Start talking. Where's the other one?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Watch out, she's reaching for...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- She's reaching for her necklace. - Leave it alone.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I said, leave it alone!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Keep your voice down, or you're dust.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Whose remains are these?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Why don't you ask your boyfriend? He's the one who dusted him.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54After I escaped, I couldn't find my husband anywhere.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59And then two days later, I received an anonymous parcel.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I thought you sent it as a warning.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It wasn't me. I promise.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So, why carry his dust around with you?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's silly, but there's a legend about a hidden fountain.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13The Lazarus Spring.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16That has the power to bring vampires back from dust.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I made an oath I'd carry his dust with me until I found it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Yeah, but that's just a myth, isn't it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Asan?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Why does The Count want us in the basement?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Oh, um... to clean it for his new bats.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Great. Just great.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46A few days ago, I was his long-lost son, now I'm his bat skivvy.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Sorry.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I shouldn't take my family problems out on you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Well, I say family...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Do you think about yours a lot?
0:16:03 > 0:16:04All the time.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07They're all gone now.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09My father was dusted trying to save me.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Sorry.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14It's fine.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18It just means I've got a lot to live up to.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20But then you'd know all about that.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Powerful dad...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23MALIK SCOFFS
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Come on, you've got to admit The Count has power.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I wasn't disagreeing with that bit.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Y-You mean...?- Never mind.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Hey, forget families.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38You and me, we're stronger than that.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Yeah? We've got to stick together. Look out for each other.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46You know what?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48All that power...
0:16:48 > 0:16:52The Count can clean his own basement!
0:16:54 > 0:16:58And that concludes your tour, Mr, er...?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Now, exactly how much do you think we can raise the asking price?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Sorry, but haven't you missed a room?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07No, no, no! No, there's nothing over there.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Now, if you'd like to come this way...
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I would just hate to miss a room of such a beautiful house,
0:17:13 > 0:17:20especially one marked as a biohazard and under guard.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24No, no, no, no! Renfield's not guarding it, are you, Renfield?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25What?
0:17:25 > 0:17:31He's just very sensitive about his, er, bio-hazardous...laboratory.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Isn't that right, Renfield?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Yes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43But there's power here, isn't there?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Fearsome, glorious power!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52You really... You really are too kind.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57You know, I often have that effect on people. Now, now, please...
0:17:57 > 0:17:58OK.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Ah, peace at last!
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Hang on.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Ow!
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Just checking. Yep, Tollunde has definitely gone.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15I know. I keep expecting him to just...appear!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Funny thing, I've just been at the VHC
0:18:17 > 0:18:19and there's a lot of talk going around
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- about you and that bounty hunter. - Really?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Seems she's asserted the ancient rite of trial by battle.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And here's the thing -
0:18:27 > 0:18:29they've selected you to be the one she fights.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- To the dust, obviously. - BOTH: What?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Well, they only thought it right
0:18:35 > 0:18:38to be giving you the opportunity for revenge.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39That doesn't make any sense.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Why give me a bodyguard one minute and then put me in danger the next?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You mean put you in a cage with a trained killer?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well, yes, it wasn't a unanimous decision at first
0:18:48 > 0:18:51but, you see, there's this rumour going around
0:18:51 > 0:18:52that you're now so powerful
0:18:52 > 0:18:56that victory would be assured against a lowly bounty hunter.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- A rumour?- Yes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Apparently, someone reported
0:19:00 > 0:19:05that you've been boasting that you "laugh in the face of pointy wood"?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Oh, and don't worry about confirming.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I accepted on your behalf.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11You are welcome!
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Vladdy, Vladdy, I've just heard. - So have I.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Well, well? What are you waiting for?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21We need to get over there and convince them to change their minds.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23How do you expect me do that?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25He can't transform.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Well, there's nothing else for it. You've got to bite a breather.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- No.- There might be another way.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32While I was studying with this tribe in Indonesia...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, here we go again!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37They taught us how to use our transformative powers
0:19:37 > 0:19:38with other vampires.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You? Perform a tandem transformation? Never! Go away.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- It's worth a go. - We, er... We have to be close.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Oh.- Closer than that.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Touching.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Just a cute nose, huh?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I'd say I had more going for me than that.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04In fact, I'd say I was smokin'!
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Unbelievable!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18You must find out what's in that room.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20And the other matter?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- You all right, Asan?- Hey.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30FOOTSTEPS RETREAT
0:20:30 > 0:20:32OK. Just...hear me out.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33I don't think he's a Dracula.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, he more or less admitted it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38And he's not a big fan of The Count.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I think he could be a useful ally.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And wouldn't the ultimate revenge on The Count
0:20:43 > 0:20:45be betrayal by one of his household?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47SHANGO CHUCKLES
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Spoken like a true Ramanga.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Ow. Ow!
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Vladdy, Vladdy, I tried my best,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02but they're all set on this barbaric ritual.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06All I can offer now...is my wisdom.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Well, as his regent, you could fight as his second
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and be dusted at his side?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12But, but, but...
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Well, yes, yes, I could, but...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I don't need you to do that.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22No, she's right, Vlad. I suppose I could.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I have news from the prisoner.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Go on.- When she discovered that her opponent was to be
0:21:28 > 0:21:33the all-powerful Chosen One, the coward changed her plea to guilty.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Apologies,
0:21:35 > 0:21:39but it looks as though you won't be needing your armour today.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Yes! Yes! No dusting for me!
0:21:42 > 0:21:46No dusting for... I-I-I... I don't mean that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I-I-I mean you. No dusting for us.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50What's going to happen to her now?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Right, right, right. Yes, what?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55As befits her crime, she will be dusted by the first light of dawn.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57C'est la mort.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I'd like to see her, one last time.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03If you insist.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05This way.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07But... Er...
0:22:07 > 0:22:09KEYS TURN IN LOCK
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Vladdy?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I'm sorry, but I need to do this alone.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20What?!
0:22:20 > 0:22:26What are you doing in there? Well, do something, Roquelour!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28SHE HISSES
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Here to gloat?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35No. I'm here to say I'm sorry.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You're not the first vampire to be dusted because of me
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and I'm pretty sure you're not going to be the last.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45No. You are The Chosen One
0:22:45 > 0:22:50and right now, I need to believe that a wretched creature like me
0:22:50 > 0:22:52had no right to challenge that.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53I need to accept that,
0:22:53 > 0:22:57otherwise...this has been for nothing.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Live up to the prophecy and enjoy your immortality.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06I only wish...
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I only wish mine was a little longer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Can I ask one final thing?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Could I have the honour of dying
0:23:25 > 0:23:29at the hand of the greatest vampire of all time?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yes, yes, about time.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Out of my way!- Out of mine!
0:23:43 > 0:23:44SCREAMING
0:23:49 > 0:23:50It is done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Nobody crosses The Chosen One.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I do not need a bodyguard.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Yes!
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Yours, I believe.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Vlad, Vlad.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20At least talk to me!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22There's nothing to say.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25No? How about, "Sorry for taking such a stupid risk?"
0:24:25 > 0:24:26I thought you'd be happy for me.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'm supposed to be this uber-vampire.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Last time I checked, vampires aren't big on compassion.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Yeah, well, maybe I'm starting to miss your human side.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Don't worry. I'm pretty sure it's still in here somewhere.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You smuggled her out?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47But I saw the dust.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It wasn't mine.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51And the Lazarus Spring?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Doesn't exist, remember?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Well, at least this way, my husband's dusting wasn't in vain.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02I've given you a second chance. Don't make me regret it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I don't want to see you again.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05You won't.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11But...first things first.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I always pride myself on finishing a contract.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Oh, my poor dead husband(!)
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I can't believe you fell for that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26The greatest vampire of all time?
0:25:26 > 0:25:27You're weak.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30In fact, you're barely a vampire at all, are you?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34No.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36But I am.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Well, looks like I'll have to dust the girlfriend first.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- TALITHA HISSES - Bring it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Er...?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53OK, don't freak out,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but I haven't been entirely honest with you.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01I am your bodyguard, Vlad. I've been protecting you ever since we met.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04My father assigned me to you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08You met him today, the VHC Head of Security.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Roquelour. Why didn't you tell me?
0:26:13 > 0:26:18We speculated that you might be too proud to have a bodyguard,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21especially one who is "only just a girl".
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Hey, I was pretending to be sexist, OK?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24And anyway, I could have coped without you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I totally had that situation under control.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Yeah? Like with those zombies in Haiti?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yeah. I incapacitated them with my banshee wail.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35No, I incapacitated them. You screamed like a girl and fainted.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Hey, I did not faint!
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Oh.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43So, what's so urgent that you need to speak to me alone down here?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49My brother wanted me to dust you with this.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54OK, who... Who's your brother?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Shango. Ramanga's eldest son.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Right, OK, Asan, let's talk about this, OK?
0:27:07 > 0:27:11It's OK. I convinced him you could be a useful ally.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12An ally?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16In what?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19In the complete obliteration of the Dracula family,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21starting with The Count.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Well, why didn't you say so?
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Yeah, but...to take them ALL on? The Chosen One?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We'd need an army.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Fortunately, that's exactly what we've got.
