Please tell me he's not going to be doing that the whole time.

Father Tolland is a deeply religious vampire.

His mantra keeps him in a constant state of heightened awareness.

Something we thought might be important after the recent assassination attempt.

I don't need a bodyguard, especially not a weird droning one, no offence.

As the chosen one, it was simply too important to risk.

And given your interest in alternative vampiric lifestyles, I thought his

might appeal to you.

Perhaps he could join you in your meditation sessions.

You seem to know a lot about me, Mr... Rocklaw, as BHC's security chief,

it's my job to know.

Like I know that your sister has been listening in to our conversation for the

last five minutes.

Not listening in. Actually, I just didn't want to leave Vlad alone with a

stranger. He's very important to us two.

Okay, so I've got some privacy issues.

But don't you think it's the chosen one I can look after myself?

In a straight fight?

Perhaps.

But what about if it's a surprise attack?

You're welcome.

It's only a temporary measure.

Until the assassins who tried to take your life are caught.

Yeah, well, I knew you were going to do that, obviously.

I'm so powerful now, stakes practically bounced off me. I, uh... I laughed in

the face of Pointy Wood.

Ha!

Oh, uh... What does it do?

Aside from the really annoying droning.

Oh, is that him? I thought the washing machine was on the blink. You know when

it... He doesn't do anything.

He's not meant to react unless I'm in danger.

Interesting.

Remtild, I think one of your cockroaches just climbed down Vlad's collar.

Never fear, master.

I'll catch a tasty bladder.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, yes, very funny for you, but I've got him following me around all day

waiting for a surprise attack, which isn't exactly ideal, is it?

Oh, yes, yes.

Yes.

You'll be quite safe with him around, won't you?

Vlad, Vlad, a word.

It's going to be very difficult to keep the fact you're...

From him, isn't it?

Yes, that was what I was referring to, yes. A bit further down here.

So, do something about it. No.

It's the only way.

You need to do something to suppress your human side. I am

not biting anyone.

Ah. Well, then you have to come up with something else before he works it out

and we are all dust.

Now, Renfield,

come on. This is no time for lazy around.

Do you really expect me to answer my own front door? No.

Come on, dépêche -toi.

Thank you.

All those complicated things.

It only does.

After the open house fiasco, I decided to call in a professional, a vampire

property consultant. And I need you to show him around.

But, but... Stop him seeing why we need to leave in the

first place.

You'll get it, you'll get it. Come on, lad.

Oh, you mean the magistrate?

On second thoughts, I'll show him around. You guard the old, uh, you -know

room and don't let anyone in.

And would you please, please get rid of all this bread?

You know, if there's one thing I don't understand, it's humanity's obsession

with carbohydrates.

Door.

Oh, look at the mist, the mist.

Roughly translated as welcome to Garstide, Mr... I'm so sorry, I forgot

name. Shandor.

Alexei Shandor. Yes, yes, that's the one. Well, I'm hoping you're as good as

say you are.

Oh, I am.

When I'm finished, vampires will be fighting to buy this house.

In fact, I can promise a total bloodbath.

I knew I liked you. This way.

Thank you.

After you.

Hey, use it.

No,

no, no, no, no. I'm sorry, but you're totally messing with my tea. I'm going

have to assist you. Wait outside.

But Mr. Rock... Mr. Rock has checked in here. That is the only way in, and

she's... Well, she's only a girl.

Oi.

I mean, yes, I am indeed.

Thank you, girl.

Go on.

We need to find those bounty hunters.

Quickly.

Oh, I'd love to help. I really would. But Master said I've got to stay here.

come on. With your scientific genius, his strength and her... Cute nose.

Oh, thanks.

We'll be able to sneak our way to the bounty hunters in seconds.

What do you say?

You act like a genius.

Founty hunters are about to get their bounty.

Hunted. Absolutely.

Ow!

Garnet gas residue.

I'm really rather rather rather rather rather rather rather rather rather

rather rather rather rather rather rather rather rather rather rather

rather rather rather rather rather rather rather rather

We'll give it a mission with Slater.

Garlic gas used by the... The

garlic gas used by the bounty hunters was manufactured from a rare bulb

grown on the slopes of an obscure Himalayan mountain range.

How did that help us?

Because I have tracked down the exact manufacturing plant that weaponized...

Right, well, where is that?

Well, it's the Himalayas.

So, I propose a fact -finding mission to... To the Himalayas.

Yes, that's right.

So... Couldn't we just use the bounty hunter's business card?

Because it's got the bat box number on the back.

Is it?

And then we hand them over to the VHC.

Let me see that.

Ow! What?

Do you know how long a VHC investigation takes?

No. We can't wait. We track down the bounty hunters ourselves.

First things first.

Get rid of him.

I love what you've done in here.

It takes a powerful man to pull off a throne.

And this, this just... Extremes.

Diabolical grandeur. Well, you know, one tries one's best.

If I may be so bold, it feels like it's missing something.

Bad. What, really? Bad?

The throne room. Oh, we call them living heritage ornaments.

Dropping them can be a problem, but you have a domestic, do you not? Oh, yes,

yes. And Renfield has been a little idle of late.

Well, you only have to bring them up for viewing. I have some samples outside if

you're interested, including a brace of magnificent Diffler Herpulis.

Very rare.

Well, it's all very rare.

But this sounds... expensive.

Well, these are premium bats.

Well, yes.

But you caught me in a good mood. Oh.

Have them on a trial basis.

They don't get you a sale.

I'll take them away. You, don't be a thing.

Well, in that case, bring on the bag.

Oh, yes.

Bag. Thank you.

Operation Chosen Done is afoot.

Clever. I've been gossip bombing Vlad at the VAT, but if we're going to finish

the job, we've got to get rid of that bodyguard. And how do you suggest we do

that? Have you seen the size of him? That shouldn't be a problem. It

be a problem. What are you doing here? The failure of the bounty hunters proved

only a Romanga can get justice for our father.

So, what?

You're planning revenge with interior design?

No.

Now we're both on the inside.

We pick off the family one by one.

So,

How exactly did you start a career in publicity consultation?

Well, you see... You really must tell me how you do that thing with your

friends. Hello.

Hello.

Keep working on Tom and see if he ever lets the guard down. I'll keep working

the VHC, pull some strings.

When's your next break?

Holland does not need a break.

Really? Tolland has a trained body.

Tolland exists on a higher plane.

Tolland... ...is a massive, grown

idiot.

Mr Rock will not be happy.

So who's first?

Vlad?

No. The Count's other son.

He thinks you saved his life so it should be easy to get him alone.

You'll have the honor of the first kill.

Um, yes.

That would be an honor.

I've got enemies everywhere, and I'm waiting in a cafe to meet the assassins

who've been paid to kill me. Yes, I'm a bit nervous.

One of them's just walked in.

Well, where's the other one?

What do we do?

Let her go.

Let's take her out.

Really?

Okay.

Don't move.

Let me get you surrounded.

Make her out.

As in a stakeout.

American cop cars, coffee and donuts. Not stakeout.

Oh.

Start talking.

Where's the other one?

What doubt? She's reaching for... She's reaching for her necklace. Leave it

alone.

I said leave it alone. Keep your voice down or you're dust.

Whose remains are these?

Why don't you ask your boyfriend?

He's the one who dusted him.

After I escaped, I couldn't find my husband anywhere.

And then two days later, I received an anonymous parcel.

I thought you sent it as a warning.

It wasn't me.

I promise.

So why carry his dust around with you?

It's silly.

But there's a legend about a hidden fountain.

The Lazarus Spring.

I have the power to bring vampires back from dust.

I made an oath I'd carry his dust with me until I found it.

Yeah, but that's just a myth, isn't it?

Sam!

Why does the Count want us in the basement?

Um, to clean it for his new bats.

Oh, great.

A few days ago I was his long -lost son, now I'm his bat skivvy.

I'm saying my family problems out on you.

I say family.

Think about yours a lot?

All the time.

They're all gone now.

My father was dusted trying to save me.

Sorry.

It's fine. It just means I've got a lot to live up to.

But then you know all about that.

Powerful dad.

Come on.

You've got to admit the Count has power.

I wasn't disagreeing with that bit.

Do you mean... Never mind.

Hey.

Forget families.

You and me, we're stronger than that. Yeah?

We've got to stick together.

Look out for each other.

You know what?

All that power... The Count...

and clean his own basement.

And that concludes your tour, Mr... Now, exactly how much do you think we can

raise the asking price?

Sorry, but haven't you missed a room?

No, no, no, there's nothing over there. Now, if you'd like to come this way... I

would just hate to miss a room with such a beautiful house, especially one

marked as a biohazard.

And... Under guard.

No, no, no.

Renfield's not guarding it, are you, Renfield?

What? He's just very sensitive about his biohazardous laboratory.

Isn't that right, Renfield?

Yes.

But there's power here.

Isn't there?

Fearsome.

Glorious.

You really, you really are so kind. You know, I often have that effect on

people. Now, now, please, please.

Okay.

Ah, peace at last.

Hang on.

Ow! Are you just checking?

Yep. Tolland is definitely gone.

I know.

I keep expecting him to just appear.

Funny thing.

I've just been at the BHC and there's a lot of talk going around about you and

that bounty hunter.

Really? Seems she's asserted the ancient right of trial by battle.

And here's the thing.

They've selected you to be the one she fights.

To the dust, obviously.

What?

Well, they only thought it right to be giving you the opportunity for revenge.

That doesn't make any sense.

Why give me a bodyguard one minute and then put me in danger the next?

You mean put you in a cage with a trained killer?

Well, yeah.

It wasn't a unanimous decision at first, but you see, there's this rumour going

around that you're now so powerful that Victory would be assured against the

lowly bounty hunter.

A rumour? Yes.

Apparently someone's reported that you've been boasting you laugh in the

Pointy Wood.

Oh, and don't worry about confirming.

I accept it on your behalf. You are welcome.

I just heard.

So have I.

Well, well, what are you waiting for? We need to get over there and convince

them to change their minds.

How do you expect me to do that?

You can't transform.

There's nothing else for it.

You've got to bite a breather. No.

There might be another way.

When I was studying with the tribe in Indonesia... Oh, here we go again.

They taught us how to use our transformative powers with other

You perform a tandem transformation. Never go away.

It's worth a go.

We are.

We have to be close.

Oh.

Closer than that.

Touching.

Just a cute nose, huh?

I'd say I had more going for me than that.

In fact, I'd say I was smoking.

What's in that brown?

And the other matter?

You alright, son?

Hey.

Okay, just hear me out.

I don't think he's attracted.

Well, he more or less admitted it. And he's not a big fan of the Count.

I think he could be a useful ally.

Wouldn't the ultimate revenge on the Count be betrayal by one of his

Woken like a true Romanga.

Ow!

Ow!

Very, very. I tried my best, but they're all set on this barbaric ritual.

All I can offer now is my wisdom.

Well, as his regent, you could fight at his second and be dusted at his side.

I could, but... I don't need you to do that.

Notice what I've learned.

I thought I could.

I have news from the prisoner.

Go on. When she discovered that her opponent was to be the all -powerful

One, the coward changed her plea to guilty.

Apologies, but it looks as though you won't be needing your armor today.

Yes! Yes!

No dusting for me! No dusting for me!

I mean,

you. No dusting for us. What's going to happen to her now?

As befits her crime, she will be ducted by the first light of dawn.

I'd like to see her one last time.

If you insist.

This way.

I'm sorry, but I need to do this alone.

What?

What are you doing in there?

Do something, rock and roll.

And fix me up.

Sorry.

Did he gloat?

No.

I made it then, sorry.

You're not the first vampire to be ducted because of me.

I'm pretty sure you're not going to be the last.

No.

You were the chosen one.

And right now I need to believe that a wretched creature like me had no right

challenge that.

I need to accept that.

Otherwise, it's a stone for nothing.

Live up to the prophecy.

And enjoy your immortality.

I only wish... I only wish mine was a little longer.

Can I ask one final thing?

Could I have the honor of dying at the hand of the greatest vampire of all

This is about time!

Out of my way! Out of my way!

It is done.

Nobody crosses the Chosen One.

I do not need a bodyguard.

Yes, sir.

Yours, I believe.

Talk to me. There's nothing to say.

No? How about sorry for taking such a stupid risk?

I thought you'd be happy for me. I'm supposed to be this uber -vampire. Last

time I checked, vampires aren't big on compassion.

Yeah. Well, maybe I'm starting to miss your human side.

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure it's still in here somewhere.

Look, they're out.

But I saw the dust.

It wasn't mine.

And a lather of spring?

Doesn't exist, remember?

Well, at least in this way, my husband's dusting wasn't in vain.

I've given you a second chance.

Don't make me regret it.

I don't want to see you again.

You won't.

But, first things first, I always pride myself

on... Finishing a contract.

Oh, my poor dead husband.

I can't believe you fell for that. Greatest vampire of all time. You're

In fact, you're barely a vampire at all, are you?

No.

But I am.

Well, looks like I'll have to dust the girlfriend first.

Bring her.

Okay, don't freak out.

But I haven't been entirely honest with you.

I'm your bodyguard, Vlad.

I've been protecting you ever since we met.

My father assigned me to you.

You met him today.

The VHC head of security.

Rockalore.

Why didn't you tell me?

We speculated that you might be too proud to have a bodyguard.

Especially one who is...

Only just a girl.

Hey, I was pretending to be sexist, okay? And anyway, I could have cut

you. I totally had that situation under control.

Yeah, like with those zombies in Haiti.

Yeah, I incapacitated them with my banshee whale. No, I incapacitated them.

screamed like a girl and fainted.

Hey, I did not faint.

Oh.

So, what's so urgent you need to speak to me alone down here?

My brother wanted me to dust you with this.

Hey, who's your brother?

Sango.

Remind the Zardes, Don.

Okay, and let's talk about this.

Okay?

It's okay.

I convinced them you could be a useful ally.

An ally?

In what?

In the complete obliteration of the Dracula family.

Starting with the Count.

Didn't you say so?

Yeah, but to take them all on, the Chosen One, we

need an army.

Fortunately, that's exactly what we've got.
