Baron Blood Page #2

- Oh, no, no, no...

- Good night, then.

- Good night. Thanks, Uncle.

- Good night, Doctor.

May I?

Thank you.

7 XGR...

No, no, no, no! No, not here!

Don't read it now.

Well, you don't really

believe in that, do you?

Do you still have the keys

to the castle?

- Look, as a trustee of the government...

- Yeah, listen to this for a second.

They say the only place

the incantation will work...

is in the room

where the baron was killed.

Well, that should be

the "burned room", then.

It's starting to make sense now.

Let's go to the castle.

Come on, Peter. You want me to run

off in the night as your "guide"?

Have no fear, mein Frulein...

if the ancient baron should wake up

on the wrong side of the bed,

I'll be there to protect you.

- OK?

- Mm-hmm.

Does that mean yes or no?

It only means that I wonder

with whom I would be safer...

with the baron's ghost or with you?

Oh, good,

then that means "yes".

Are you always

so sure of yourself?

Huh? No.

That's good.

Let's go...

After you, Frulein.

Hurry!

The witching hour is almost here.

Nothing to worry about.

The second incantation will put

the old boy back where he came from.

I mean, if we don't dig him,

we'll ditch him.

Come on!

Damn!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Oh, if you feeI to your right,

there's an oiI lamp on the table.

Uh-huh. Got it.

Now all I have to do is light it.

And then we'll be set.

Let's go.

It's up in the turret.

- Over there?

- Mm-hmm.

- Well? Where to?

- There's a table inside.

Go ahead.

- And now the incantation!

- Woo...

The parchment!

Oh, I have it here.

- What's that?

- It's an originaI plan of the castle.

Oh, the incantation of Elisabeth Hlle.

Kunik Sator Hol...

- Don't kid around!

- Why not?

Because you'll invoke

Elisabeth Hlle's anger.

Only if we do it solemnly

shall the bells toll...

announcing the baron's spirit.

- How nice!

- Ready?

- Ready!

Kunik Sator Holmat!

I beseech thee, oh, Elisabeth Hlle...

reach the fiery depths of hell...

and bring forth the eviI spirit

of Baron Otto von Kleist...

to this, the chamber of his tortured death.

Wow!

What is he waiting for?

Maybe he doesn't like us, huh?

Well, that er... That must be

the bell of the church of St Stefan.

Huh! It's midnight,

but the bell only rang twice.

Twice. Two o'clock.

Two o'clock was the hour

that von Kleist was killed.

Peter...

Peter, if the curse really worked, then...

if he really were to come back,

he'd be a monster.

- The way he was... killed and...

- Yeah, I know.

With his skull all crushed,

tortured, burned...

Peter, he'd be a monster.

I want to go, please.

Don't worry. Come on.

Peter, make it go away!

- Break the incantation! I beg you!

- All right! All right!

Kunik Sator Holmat!

Change thy heart, and take him away.

Holmat Sator Kunik.

Take him away to the darkest depths,

and break thy incantation.

I bet it was Fritz

with one of his pranks.

I'll bet anything it was Fritz.

It had to be.

- It couldn't have been anyone else.

- I hope so!

- That's 16, huh?

- Yes, sir.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Good morning, Herr Dortmundt.

Is Fritz around?

Fritz? No, I fired him yesterday.

Then he wasn't here last night?

No, at least he shouldn't have been.

Why do you ask?

Herr Dortmundt, would you mind

if I brought him to the castle?

- Herr Dortmundt, bitte.

- I'll be with you in a second.

I'd like to show you around myself

if I weren't so busy.

Maybe you'll come up with more gimmicks

to attract American tourists!

Well, what is it?

Eva, let's go back in,

to the "burned room" again.

Along one of these walls,

there's got to be a hidden passage.

I was up half the night

studying this thing.

The plan shows a corridor

leading into another room.

That could be it.

- What on earth are you doing?

- Here, hold this a second.

- Why...?

- Just hold it!

What are you going to do,

break the whole castle down?

There's got to be another room here.

- Who could that be?

- Hmm...

It's probably a painting

of von Kleist.

But why those scratches?

Maybe one of his enemies

let his hatred out in the painting.

There's something about his eyes.

I'd swear they were following me.

He's looking at me!

Eva, let's try the incantation again.

- What for?

- I must find out what happened.

But you told me nothing happened.

I know I did,

but I want to make sure.

Oh, Peter, it was at night

and spooky and frightening,

but today everything seems so unreaI.

Does it? What if the ghost of Elisabeth

Hlle is stronger than the centuries?

What if it could bring

the baron back?

Oh, come on!

You don't believe that yourself.

It's not likely,

but I must find out.

What are you thinking?

That to come face to face with

my ancestor from the 16th century,

monster or not, is an experience

I wouldn't want to pass up.

You feeI better now?

Yes, thank you.

I felt chills going right through me.

Are you ready to start?

Kunik Sator Holmat.

I command you -

return, wherever you may be.

Kunik Sator Holmat.

I call the body and souI

of Otto von Kleist!

Peter, no.

No, let's stop it while we can.

Peter, let's stop it, please.

Peter... Peter, hurry,

it will be too late.

No! Peter!

Peter! The door!

He's coming in!

The door, Peter!

Peter, make him go away!

Make him go away, please!

The parchment!

It's burning, it's burning!

Peter! The parchment is burning!

Hurry! Hurry!

Blood!

There's blood, Peter!

There's blood under the door!

What have we done?

Peter?

Peter.

I can't understand it.

It's impossible.

Peter, there's something horrible

and terrifying out there,

and we have released it!

Madeleine?

Madeleine,

is there someone at the door?

Never mind, I'll go.

Yes?

Who is it?

Come in.

Hurry! Hurry!

I haven't seen such a gale in years.

It blew the lights out.

What happened to you?

Good lord! In here, quickly!

Come! Hurry! Hurry!

Madeleine, bring some hot water.

Hurry up!

I forgot. There's no light.

Wait! Wait there!

I have a flashlight here somewhere.

Oh, God in heaven.

Lie down, please.

I'll be right with you.

- Werner?

- Wait outside!

- Here.

- No, Madeleine, you wait outside.

Hmm.

I've applied a disinfectant

and stopped the bleeding.

Now we've got to get you

to a hospitaI.

Listen, it's a miracle if you're alive.

It's my duty as a doctor

to call an ambulance.

You need to be in a hospitaI.

Hello? Dr Werner Hesse, here.

Schloss des Teufels, ja.

I need an ambulance.

Ja, it's urgent, I...

'Hello?

Hello, Dr Hesse?

'Hello, Dr Hesse?

'Hello? Dr Hesse?'

Werner?

Who's there?

Nein! Nein!

Hilfe! Nein!

Nein!

Hilfe! Nein!

Uncle KarI!

- So, wie geht's, Peter?

- Not bad.

- Good morning.

- Morning, Eva.

Do you have a few minutes

you can spare us?

Well, I have a class,

but I guess it can wait.

Well... you remember

our talking about Elisabeth Hlle

and the curse

she put on Baron von Kleist?

Yes?

Well, last night at the castle,

I invoked the curse.
