Bride of Frankenstein Page #4

I'll have no hand

in such a monstrous thing.

Yes. Must.

Get him out.

l won't even discuss it

until he's gone.

Go now.

Go!

Must do it.

Never.

Nothing can

make me go on with it.

Now.

Put the bags in the carriage,

and I'll be out in a moment.

Go and tell the master to hurry,

Minnie, or we shall lose the train.

Excuse me for being

so nervous, milady,

but I don't like

leaving you alone.

Oh, nonsense, Minnie.

l shall be all right.

l hope so, milady.

ls that you, Henry?

Henry! Henry, help!

Henry!

Milady!

Elizabeth!

The mistress!

What is it?

What's the matter?

Oh, sir! She's gone!

The monster! He's got her! saw it!

The Baroness is gone!

This is Pretorius' doing.

Quick, search parties!

There's not a moment to lose.

l charge you, as you value

your mistress' life,

to do nothing and say

nothing of this episode.

l assure you that the Baroness

will be safely returned,

if you will leave

everything to me.

Nothing, that is,

except what he demands.

l can find no trace

of Elizabeth.

Oh, I admit I'm beaten.

But if you can bring her back,

I'll do anything that you want.

Are you ready to complete

with me this final experiment?

What about Elizabeth?

She is well and will be safely

returned if you will proceed.

I'm ready.

Ah.

Mind the steps. They're

a bit slimy, I expect.

l think it's

a charming touch.

It is interesting to think,

Henry, that once upon a time,

we should have been

burned at the stake

as wizards for

this experiment.

Doctor.

l think the heart

is beating.

Look. It's beating, but the

rhythm of the beat is uneven.

lncrease the

saline solution.

ls there any life yet?

No. Not life itseIf yet.

This is only

the simulacrum of life.

This action only responds

when the current is applied.

We must be patient.

The human heart

is more complex

than any other

part of the body.

Look. The beat

is increasing.

Yes.

It's stopped.

Shall I increase

the current?

This heart is useless.

l must have another,

and it must be

sound and young.

Karl.

You must go to your friend

at the accident hospital.

What we need is a female

victim of sudden death.

Can you do it?

You promise me

1,000 crowns?

It will be well worth it,

and the Baron will pay.

Yes, yes.

Go and get it.

I'll try.

There are always

accidental deaths occurring.

Always.

I'll get your heart.

I'll go into that room.

I'll go into that room, and I'll

take my knife out and I'll get it.

I'll hold her down,

and there'll she be.

Where, I ask you.

Where will she be?

A thousand crowns.

It's beating perfectly,

just as in life!

Oh, if only I can

keep it going until...

It was a very fresh one.

Where did you get it?

l gave the gendarme

50 crowns.

What gendarme?

It was a...

Police case.

Yes very sad, only we

can't bother about that now.

Can I do anything?

No, no, no!

l can work better alone.

Work.

Where's Elizabeth?

Have you brought her?

She wait. I wait.

I'm exhausted. I must get sleep.

Work. Finish. Then sleep.

l can't work like this!

He must go away.

Send him away.

I'll settle him

for a little while.

Drink.

Good.

That'll keep you quiet.

Elizabeth. She's dead.

Elizabeth is alive,

and she is well.

l don't believe you!

l have proof.

Proof?

ln a few moments from now,

she will speak to you

from where she is

through this

electrical machine.

Where is she?

Not far from here.

Speak, and she will

hear you and answer.

Yes? Yes, this is Henry.

Henry, yes, I'm safe.

But, Henry, how long?

Come for me.

I'm in a cave...

Elizabeth?

Elizabeth! She's gone.

That is all now,

but you heard her.

Yes. She's alive.

As soon as our work

is completed,

she will be

returned to you.

The heart is beating

more regularly now.

Yes. It's been beating

for nine hours.

Not yet, but soon.

And the brain?

Perfect and already

in position.

Then we are almost ready.

Almost.

Shall we put

the heart in now?

Yes.

Ludwig!

It's beating

quite normally now.

Bring it over.

The storm is rising.

All right.

The air is heavy

with electricity.

It's going to be

a terrific storm.

We shall be ready.

lsn't it amazing, Henry, that

lying here, within this skull,

is an artificially developed

human brain,

each cell, each convolution,

ready, waiting for life to come.

Look.

The storm is coming up

over the mountains.

It will be here soon.

The kites!

Are the kites ready?

Yes!

Then send them up as soon as the wind rises.

Hurry, hurry.

The kites! The kites!

Get'em ready!

Ludwig!

Seems that he wants

the kites!

Stand back.

Stand by the roof!

Cosmic diffuser!

Wires! Send down

your wires!

All right, stop your windlass.

I'm coming up.

Now, up with the kites.

You take number two, Ludwig.

You've checked

your connections?

Yes.

Stand by!

Let go number one.

Let it go, Karl!

It's coming up!

Go back. Go back down!

Go down!

No, don't! No! Get away! Frankenstein!

Get away! Get away!

No, don't.

No. Don't come near me!

Get away! Don't! No!

No! Get back!

Don't! Don't! Don't!

Raise the cosmic diffuser.

Remove the diffuser bands.

She's alive! Alive!

The bride of Frankenstein.

Friend?

Friend?

Stand back. Stand back!

She hate me.

Like others.

Look out! The lever!

Get away

from that lever!

You'll blow us all to atoms.

Henry!

Undo the door! Henry!

Get back! Get back!

I won't unless you come!

But I can't leave them!

I can't!

Yes. Go.

You live!

Go.

You stay.

We belong dead.

Darling. Darling.
