I've spent all my life studying the subject.
1:06:02
And have you come across one,
I mean here and now?
1:06:05
This is London. This is the 20th century.
1:06:08
Vampires are the living dead.
1:06:10
They have no lifespan.
Not as we use the term.
1:06:14
Like the phoenix, they die,
only to live again.
1:06:17
A hundred years ago there was proof...
1:06:19
positive proof of one living in this city:
1:06:23
Dracula.
1:06:25
There is a legend that he was buried
somewhere in Chelsea...
1:06:27
probably by one of his disciples...
1:06:30
possibly at St. Bartolph's...
1:06:32
in some desanctified corner.
1:06:36
If the stake was removed from his heart...
1:06:40
he might walk again.
1:06:43
Excuse me.
1:06:45
Yes, Murray here.
1:06:48
Yes, there's nothing we can do, is there?
Just keep tabs on them, that's all.
1:06:52
Yeah.
1:06:54
The kids, we had to let them go.
1:06:57
An army of angry parents
and lawyers descended...
1:06:59
and bailed them out.
1:07:02
They'd be safer in jail.
1:07:06
I do not believe, Inspector...
1:07:08
that this is a random
manifestation of vampirism.
1:07:11
I do not believe that
my granddaughter's friends...
1:07:13
were chosen by the monster
by pure coincidence.
1:07:17
There is a pattern here...
1:07:18
and the key to that pattern
is this boy you're still searching for...
1:07:21
Johnny Alucard.
1:07:22
Incidentally, if you write
his name backwards it spells Dracula.
1:07:26
Silver bullets and cloves of garlic.
1:07:28
Silver bullets are impractical,
and garlic is not 100% reliable...
1:07:33
but it is true to say
that the monster abhors silver...
1:07:36
silver of any kind, especially, for instance,
a silver-bladed knife.
1:07:41
There is also a theory...
1:07:43
that a vampire may be destroyed
by being immersed in clear running water.
1:07:47
- Clear running water?
- Yes.
1:07:50
Fortunately, some things do work.
1:07:53
A vampire attacks for two basic reasons.
1:07:55
Now, firstly, it needs human blood
to nourish itself.
1:07:58
Secondly, it will attack
to curse its victim...
