  • [theme music]

  • [chanting]

  • -Macul galom.

  • Elia don tilak.

  • [chanting]

  • -What are they doing?

  • It's a mourning ceremony.

  • [chanting]

  • -Elia don tilak!

  • -Thank you.

  • Means a lot that you're remembering Ryan.

  • -Who?

  • Ryan?

  • Oh.

  • Oh!

  • Him.

  • This wasn't for your inconsequential brother.

  • Move.

  • Thomas Owen, elder of the vampire High Council,

  • has passed.

  • -2,000 years old, and blind as a bat.

  • Senile old fool woke up in the middle of the day,

  • and opened the curtains.

  • -Still a bit upset, is she?

  • -We need to find out who killed Ryan.

  • -Haven't you got enough on your plate?

  • -That's why I'm putting you in charge of the investigation.

  • INGRID: I take it you'll be putting me forth in Thomas

  • Owen's place on the High Council?

  • -It was agreed that you would first

  • prove yourself by carrying out three tasks.

  • Us

  • -And I passed the first.

  • I foiled Vlad's plan to kidnap Adze.

  • -As long as Erin is around, there will still be plotting.

  • Your second task is to get her out of the way,

  • by any means necessary.

  • -You actually want me to organize your sand weekend?

  • -We have to keep up the pretense until I can find

  • a way out of this blood binding.

  • -You can put me down.

  • -It's a stag weekend.

  • No girls.

  • -I'm not staying here on my own.

  • Ryan's killer is still on the loose.

  • INGRID: You won't be on your own.

  • I'll look after you.

  • I feel terrible about Ryan.

  • I made him.

  • Looking after his little sister is the least I can do.

  • -Thanks, but I'll be fine.

  • -You'll be safe with me.

  • Let's do lunch.

  • My treat.

  • -Murder requires both motive and opportunity.

  • You had the motive.

  • -Did I?

  • -He ridiculed you.

  • -Everybody ridicules me.

  • -well, you also had the opportunity,

  • being in possession of the murder weapon.

  • -Oh.

  • This is Professor Renfield, at your service.

  • -I-- I wouldn't hurt a fly.

  • -Oh.

  • Is that right?

  • [fly buzzing]

  • -Ah ha!

  • -I know my rights.

  • I demand a lawyer.

  • -[whispering]

  • -My, uh, lawyer has advised me to plead

  • guilty with mitigation.

  • -Oh.

  • So you're admitting you killed Ryan?

  • -Never liked him.

  • And, as you said, I had both motive and opportunity.

  • -Right.

  • Now that's settled, can we go?

  • -Vlad ordered me to bring the murderer to justice.

  • -This murder was a classic.

  • It would have needed a brilliant mind and a dark soul.

  • It was a work of art.

  • Meticulously planned.

  • Ambitious, imaginative.

  • -Way beyond the limited capabilities of Renfield.

  • -My point pre-- cisely.

  • -Having one of the scrap kids on the school

  • Senate was your idea, wasn't it?

  • -What are you insinuating?

  • -You don't share Vlad's vision of coexistence.

  • What better way to derail the peace process,

  • then bump off one of the scrappers

  • and put the bat among the pigeons?

  • -I'd advise you, to plead the fifth.

  • -All right, all right!

  • The Senate idea wasn't mine.

  • It was Miss McCauley's.

  • -Oh, so you had an accomplice?

  • -No.

  • [bell ringing]

  • -I've got a confession to make.

  • I missed the Senate quiz because I fell asleep.

  • -Well, you've been working hard.

  • -I'll make amends by writing up for the school newsletter.

  • Starting with, who won?

  • -Um, Malik.

  • On a technicality.

  • -Perhaps I could interview both the candidates?

  • -Well, I'm not too sure Ryan's up to it.

  • -Oh, was he very disappointed?

  • -Ryan didn't take it too well.

  • But donating a mortarboard was an inspired idea.

  • -Mortarboard?

  • -This is for the winner of the Senate quiz.

  • It will need a cleaning before we present it.

  • -Ah.

  • Straightaway.

  • -I didn't donate a mortarboard.

  • -Oh.

  • Well, Renfield was under the impression you did.

  • -He must have got confused.

  • It wasn't me.

  • I don't believe in such archaic symbols or authority.

  • -The tickets!

  • They've arrived.

  • Is there one in there for me?

  • -Not another skull club reunion.

  • -Oh, contraire.

  • A stag weekend in Reger and a final chance

  • to let your fangs down before tying

  • the eternal marital knot to Adze.

  • -Jonno will be my best man.

  • We're not going to Reger.

  • Besides, you are way too old for club 18 to 320.

  • -Don't listen to him.

  • You don't look a day over 300.

  • -Vlad!

  • Your dad's giving me all these demands for the stag weekend.

  • I've already made legal plans.

  • -Well, stick to them.

  • It's my stag, not his.

  • It's going to be your wedding in less than a week.

  • If we're going to stop it, we need to act soon.

  • -Don't you think I know that?

  • -You're doing good.

  • Just play along with the stag thing.

  • Don't arouse suspicions.

  • -Why would I want to kill Ryan?

  • He was nothing to me.

  • An underling.

  • Irrelevant.

  • -On the contrary.

  • The fact he was Erin's brother is very relevant.

  • -Ah, how did you work that out?

  • -Erin's your rival in love.

  • You were warning her off.

  • -I'm a straight for the jugular kind of girl.

  • If I wanted Erin out of the way, I'd have done it myself.

  • You're pretty rubbish at this.

  • -Don't underestimate me.

  • -You haven't even asked yourself the most obvious question.

  • -Which is?

  • -Ryan was hardly the sharpest fang in the cave,

  • and he'd been a biter for what?

  • A few months?

  • -So?

  • -So, how does someone like that suddenly

  • have like 2,000 years of knowledge.

  • -What are you getting at?

  • -If Ryan hadn't have known all the answers to the Senate quiz,

  • he wouldn't have died.

  • -Nobody saw the Senate quiz questions except me.

  • I had them under lock and key.

  • -But you could have given him the answers.

  • -To what end?

  • -You tell me.

  • You tried to frame him before.

  • -If you've something to say, say it.

  • If not, I suggest you look for a suspect

  • amongst our real enemies.

  • Slayers and breathers.

  • -I'm thinking, a dark weave Oltenian lambswool.

  • I know a shepherd who grazes a pedigree flock

  • on the foothills of the Carpathian mountains.

  • -Does it matter?

  • THE COUNT: The blood binding of the Chosen One?

  • Of course, it matters.

  • Oh!

  • And button-hooves.

  • Biggie Nightshade is so last millennium.

  • Perhaps Monks-hood.

  • Just as toxic.

  • -Fine choice.

  • The blue will set your eyes off a treat.

  • All done.

  • -Right.

  • Now, for the tasting menu.

  • -Suit measured.

  • Date set.

  • Flowers chosen.

  • -I won't let this happen.

  • If it comes to it, we'll just have to leave here.

  • -Are you serious?

  • The Scrap is working.

  • Look at what you've achieved with the Ferals.

  • You'd give that all up for me?

  • -If that's what it takes.

  • [whistling]

  • -Erin said I could borrow her nail varnish.

  • -Hm.

  • Where's your [inaudible]?

  • Bertrand's looking for you.

  • -Then he'll have to wait.

  • -What's that?

  • -Stasis spray.

  • It's what Erin uses to disguise what she really is.

  • A breather.

  • I'm going to replace it with water, and then--

  • -The Chosen One, and a breather?

  • Is this some sort of sick joke?

  • -If you'd let me finish--

  • -It's her that needs to be finished.

  • How long have you known about this?

  • Who else is privy to this information?

  • -Well, Vlad, obviously.

  • Bertrand, Jonno, Renfield, Dad-- Mina knows, I think.

  • Um.

  • -Count Dracula is harboring a breather?

  • -Well, to be fair, he has tried to kill her in the past.

  • -And failed.

  • Don't make the same mistake.

  • -Hey, wait up.

  • Heard you were having a bit of a stag do.

  • -And I guess you want an invite?

  • -Well, if that's alright with you.

  • We'll have a party, me.

  • -OK, I don't see why not.

  • -Because then you'd have to invite all the other Scrappers.

  • -It's all right.

  • I won't tell anyone.

  • It'll be our secret.

  • What happens on the stags, stays on the stag, hm?

  • -They're bound to find out.

  • You'd have a mutiny on your hands.

  • -She's right.

  • I can't be seen to give preferential treatments.

  • Sorry.

  • -Do you see that?

  • I keep trying to get close to him.

  • Erin keeps getting in the way.

  • Dusty lines made things worse.

  • VOICE: Then we'll take her out of the equation.

  • -How?

  • VOICE: By sending her into a battle she will never win.

  • -Battle with who?

  • -Who are you talking to?

  • -I was conjugating Transylvanian verbs.

  • Someone looks pleased with themselves.

  • -Well, between you and me, you may

  • be looking at the newest member of the High Council.

  • -May I show you to a table?

  • A table.

  • -There is, of course, the small matter of the dowry.

  • -Dowry?

  • -Well, it is traditional for the family of the bride

  • to offer a financial incentive.

  • -That tradition stopped 500 years ago.

  • -It was worth a shot.

  • -Blood diamonds.

  • Father of the groom should looks sharp for a blood binding.

  • -Do you know how many bats die in the mining of these?

  • Where did you get it from?

  • -I can't reveal my sources.

  • -Aaron Devots been caught getting his fangs enlarged.

  • -Yea, well, I'm not really interested in celebrity vampire

  • gossip.

  • -Vlad said they were you favorite.

  • [hissing]

  • -Get away from her.

  • She's not for biting.

  • -Anybody else?

  • -Spoil sport.

  • -Did you put them up to this?

  • -Well, as much as I would love to take the credit--

  • -Was it you?

  • -I was trying to protect her.

  • -I will find out who's responsible for this.

  • -What do you expect, trying to pass

  • off a breeder as a half-vamp?

  • You only have yourself to blame.

  • Oops.

  • Looks like your secret's out.

  • -You can't seriously fancy a breather.

  • It's so wrong.

  • -Peaceful co-existence, remember?

  • We're the future.

  • -Really?

  • -Oh, we-- you--

  • [LAUGHTER

  • -Saddle work.

  • -I don't understand.

  • I used the spray.

  • -Whatever you used wasn't Stasis.

  • Those vampires could smell you.

  • -Somebody must have swapped it.

  • -The same someone who killed Ryan.

  • -We'll protect you.

  • -Why?

  • Because I'm your poster babe for harmonious living?

  • It great, be all having a breather girlfriend.

  • I thought I was more than a symbol.

  • -Of course you are.

  • I love you for who you are.

  • Not what you are.

  • We have to check in on Bertrand.

  • We'll find whoever's doing this.

  • [footsteps]

  • -Well, that was a spectacular failure.

  • You can forget about the High Council.

  • -I didn't think so.

  • There are only two sets of fingerprints on this bottle.

  • Erin's and yours.

  • Now what would happen if I was to show this to Bertrand?

  • Oh, and I'm ready for my final task whenever you are.

  • -Whoever murdered Ryan has just tried killing Erin.

  • Please, tell me you found out who it is.

  • Bertrand?

  • -Everybody had motive.

  • Everybody had opportunity.

  • And whoever did this, played on that.

  • They've covered their tracks by implicating everybody else.

  • Someone is pulling the strings.

  • -Shh.

  • Still dead.

  • We're still trying to find out who did this to you.

  • -Exposing the murderer is not enough.

  • Your life's in danger.

  • You have to stop him.

  • -Him?

  • You know who it was?

  • -Someone wanted to get you through me.

  • Someone who never wanted you here.

  • -Hardly narrows it down.

  • -Who stands to lose the most if Vlad doesn't marry Adze?

  • Who's tried to kill you before.

  • -The Count.

  • -I thought being a vampire was bad enough,

  • but caught in this Limbo is torture.

  • A vampire's soul can't rest until it has its revenge.

  • Through this, and I'll be a peace, knowing you are safe.

  • -You know what needs to be done.

  • -I'm missing something.

  • Everyone was there when Ryan died.

  • So, who had access to the murder weapon before that?

  • -Why didn't you tell me he was doing this?

  • I've got the code for the heat sensor.

  • -What heat sensor?

  • -The one the slayers built within store

  • to keep tabs on the school.

  • -It's a need to know basis.

  • -Vlad?

  • -You killed my brother.

  • -Would you care to retract your allegation,

  • absolve yourself before you die?

  • Ah!

  • -It was self-defense.

  • -He killed Ryan.

  • -She's lying.

  • There's no blood on these fangs yet.

  • -He's just making sure that nothing

  • gets in the way of the wedding.

  • -You're a liability.

  • Get rid.

  • -You're not helping, Dad.

  • -Ryan's ghost came to me.

  • -You're delusional to boot.

  • -There's no such thing as vampire ghosts.

  • -Touch her again, and I'll--

  • -Ha , ha.

  • -What's funny?

  • -I told you.

  • She's a liability and you just proved it.

  • She's clouded your judgment.

  • You're putting your own happiness

  • above that of your people.

  • What hope do you have of uniting vampires in peace when you're

  • so preoccupied with a breather?

  • -The red dots are breathers.

  • The blue ones are vampires.

  • Everything's recorded.

  • We've brought the disks for the last few months,

  • and they're all in date order, so it

  • shouldn't be hard to find.

  • -All right.

  • So, do you want tonight?

  • And the night of Ryan's murder.

  • -You've bit of kip?

  • -What is it?

  • -The school's heat sensor recorder.

  • -That's got to be against our civil liberty.

  • Not when it shows us who the killer is.

  • -What?

  • -Look.

  • Now here's Renfield in the kitchen

  • on the night of the murder.

  • He claims McCauley gave him the mortarboard,

  • but that's not McCauley.

  • It's blue.

  • It's a vampire.

  • Now, at that time, Ingrid was in her room with Ryan.

  • The Ramangas were in the training room.

  • You were with me.

  • And all the Scrap Kids-- were all in class.

  • -Maybe it's a glitch in the software.

  • -No, it's not.

  • Look at this.

  • An hour ago, Erin claimed that Ryan's ghost came to her.

  • -There's no such things as ghosts.

  • -No, she wasn't imagining it.

  • What she saw was something that looked like Ryan,

  • but it wasn't a ghost.

  • It was a vampire.

  • A shape-shifter.

  • You're cracked, mate.

  • -It's the only explanation.

  • -Going somewhere?

  • -I'm leaving.

  • Your dad was right.

  • I'm a liability.

  • -You can't listen to him.

  • -I have to go.

  • The peace is more important than us.

  • -You can stay and see it through.

  • I can't do this without you.

  • I need your help, your-- your strength, your-- I need you.

  • -You need Adze.

  • She is you only hope for peace.

  • Marry her and you unite the vampires.

  • You have one shot at this.

  • Screw it up and Ryan's death will have been in vain.

  • -I can't live without you.

  • Peace isn't about us, and it's definitely

  • not about who I get married to.

  • -But, it is.

  • -Then it shouldn't be!

  • If the vampires want to survive, then they

  • can figure it out by themselves.

  • -Vlad, they won't.

  • -We leave tonight.

  • -You've got to see this.

  • It's important.

  • -Go.

  • You're needed.

  • -I won't be long.

  • -This is going to sound a bit out there.

  • But look.

  • -I don't believe it.

  • They destroyed my evidence.

  • -Just tell me who it is.

  • -It's not one of us.

  • It's a shape-shifter.

  • It was on these disks.

  • They've been passing themselves off as McCauley, Ryan's ghost,

  • even me.

  • Now, I swear, I didn't nominate Malik for the Senate.

  • That was the shape-shifter you spoke to.

  • Think about it.

  • It makes sense.

  • -But you don't have the proof.

  • -I know I'm right.

  • I'll get the proof.

  • -When you have, catch them before they

  • cause any more harm.

  • -But, I--

  • -My stuff.

  • ERIN (VOICEOVER): You have one shot at this.

  • Peace is more important than us.
