Dracula Page #5

Synopsis: When a ship is wrecked off Whitby, the only survivor, Count Dracula, is discovered lying on the beach by the sickly young Mina Van Helsing, who is visiting her dear friend Lucy Seward. Lucy, her fiancé Jonathan Harker (a solicitor), and her father Dr. Jack Seward (who runs the local asylum) try to make the Count feel welcome to England. The Count quickly takes the life of Mina, and proceeds to romance Lucy, with the intention of making her his greatest bride. Soon after the death of Mina, the Sewards call her father Dr. Abraham Van Helsing to come to their home. As Lucy falls deeper under the spell of the Count, Dr. Van Helsing almost immediately comes to understand that his daughter fell prey to a vampire and discovers the culprit to be none other than the Count himself. Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, and Harker work together to foil the Count's plans to take Lucy away to his native Transylvania.

until this great evil

which has fouled your life

is true dead himself!.

You dare

try to confuse me.!

Tormenting him

who is the saddest,

the kindest of all.

Kind?

If I could send his soul

to everlasting,

burning hell, I would!

I despise you!

All of you!

Get out of my way!

Lucy, no.!

Let me go!

Let me go!

You must not go.

No!

Be calm.

[ Whispers ]

Be calm.

[ Moaning ]

Take her home,Jack.

Watch over her.

Abraham, what are

you going to do?

Miss Lucy's life is at stake

and so is her soul.

Jonathan and I

must go and fiind this monster

and utterly destroy it.

[ Hinges Creak ]

[Jonathan ]

Oh, God,

what a stench.!

[Jonathan Groans ]

Take the cross,Jonathan.

Take the cross.

[ Hinges Creak ]

Gentlemen,

how kind of you to call.

I have underestimated

your powers, Count Dracula,

to move about

in daylight hours.

It is always daylight

somewhere on earth, Professor.

After my rest, my need

is only to stay in darkness.

[ Door Slams ]

You fools!

Do you think with

your crosses and your wafers

you can destroy me?

Me!

You do not know how many men

have come against me.

I am the king of my kind!

You have accomplished nothing,

Van Helsing.

Time is on my side.

In a century,

when you are dust,

I shall wake and call Lucy,

my queen, from her grave.

No!

Yes.

I have in my time

had many brides, Mr. Harker,

- but I shall set Lucy

above them all.

- You won't get Lucy.

She's mine already.

- No!

- [ Screeching ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Screeching ]

[ Grunts ]

God!

[ Screeching Continues ]

[Jonathan ]

Damn you.!

[ Thud ]

- [ Screeching ]

- [ Screaming ]

Help me, Professor!

Professor.!

Oh, no.

[ Sighing ]

[ Speaking Dutch ]

[ Speaking Latin ]

But I helped him. I saw

that two of those crates were

safely delivered from the ship.

Yes, but you must

not blame yourself.

He probably had other coffins

brought to him other ways.

You know this man's cunning.

Pity my poor Lucy.

He's probably got them

scattered all over Whitby.

Then we'll find them and

tear them open one by one--

In there?

She can't be so ill.

I couldn't help it!

When she came round,

she was like a wild thing.

You have given her

medication?

Laudanum?

My own daughter?

Certainly not!

No, please.

Can I have a moment

alone with her?

Please, I must.

I must.

But, uh,

remember,Jonathan.

She's not

what she will seem.

[ Hinges Creak ]

Jonathan!

What happened to your face?

You're frightened

of me, too,

aren't you?

Oh, I can't bear it.

I don't understand.

I don't understand

what's happening to me.

[ Sobbing ]

You seem yourself again.

I've never felt so weak.

Weak? You have the strength

of ten men.

Jonathan,

can you still love me?

I worship you.

- [ Whispers ]

I worship you.

- [ Mina Laughs ]

Will you

tell me something?

Of course.

What were you doing,

you and my father

and the professor,

in the cemetery to Mina?

I can't-- I can't--

You say you love me,

but you don't trust me.

I would trust you

with my life, my soul.

Then tell me

what were you doing,

you and the professor,

at Carfax.

I only want to know

if you can still love me.

Oh, Lucy, please. Please.

There's no need to hide

your schemes and your plots

from me, is there?

No.

Jonathan, it's no use.

Whatever he wants to know,

he finds out.

He knows

everything you think,

everything you do.

Lucy, stop, please!

All right.

All right.

Stop it.!

No.

Don't worry.

No. Lucy, please.

There's nothing

to be frightened of.

I love you.

I love you.

[ Sobbing ]

Please, no.

Shh.

[ Whispers ]

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

No, please.

I love you.

[ Moans ]

[ Snarls ]

Aaah!

Professor!

Professor!

[ Gasps ]

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Mina ]

Oh, no.

[ Gasps ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Seward ] She'll sleep now.

[Jonathan ]

But shouldn't we stay with her?

My people will look after her.

You need rest.

[ Renfield ]

Give me them back.!

Give me them back.!

What?

Mr. Seward, make him

give me them back.

- He's collecting bugs,

and he's eating them alive.

- Bugs?

- He's disgusting.!

- What do you think?

You'll see disgusting

when he comes.

Give us a hand!

- Excuse me.

When who comes, please?

- You know. Give me them back,

you crab-faced old buzzard.

You've got no blood

in you anyway.

And besides, I got one here

that you didn't find.

In the straitjacket with him.

Come on!

[ Renfield Protesting ]

[ Seward ]

Do you think Dracula

will come back tonight?

Of course he will.

Well, we must

obviously be ready.

[ Wolf Howling ]

[ Bell Tolling ]

Evening.

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Muttering ]

They shouldn't have

tied me up like this.

I would have gone quiet

like a kitten.

I'd like a kitten.

A nice little

sleek playful kitten...

that I could feed you to.

[ Laughs ]

I'd play with him,

and I'd stroke him,

and I'd feed him...

and feed him and feed him--

[ Crunching Sound ]

Swales! Mr. Swales!

Mr. Swales!

He's coming to get me.

He's climbing straight

up the wall to get me.

I'm dying and he's laughing

with his red mouth and those

sharp white teeth of his...

like rats-- hundreds and

thousands and millions of them.

[ Whimpering ]

Oh, God.

Help my poor soul.

Renfield.

I'm your slave.

I'm your dog, master.

But please don't kill me.

For the love of God,

let me live.

Did I not promise you...

that you should

come to me at your death

and enjoy centuries...

oflife and power

over the bodies and souls

of others?

But I don't want human life.

[ Whimpers ]

You betrayed me.

You sought to warn them

all against me.

Then punish me.

Torture me. I deserve it.

But please let me live.

Oh, Renfield.

You disappoint me so.

[ Neck Cracks ]

[ Patient Shrieks ]

[ Loud Crash ]

[ Screaming, Yelling ]

[ Whistle Blowing ]

[ Yelling Continues ]

[ Rumbling Sound ]

Oh, Miss Lucy!

Miss Lucy!

Dracula?

Quick!

Miss Seward!

I've gotta have the key!

The key!

[Jonathan ]

Hurry, Doctor. Come on.!

[Jonathan ]

Quickly.!

[ Van Helsing ]

Lucy!

[ Van Helsing ]

Lucy.!

Lucy.!

No!

Come on!

Where is he

taking her, Abraham?

Where is he taking her?

[ Seward ]

Go left down the lane here.

Down the lane.

[ Seward ]

Won't this contraption

go faster?

[Jonathan ]

It won't go any bloody faster.

[ Seward, Indistinct ]

Lucy, come.

Come to me!

No, you must go on a bit longer

as a creature of the sun...

only until we have left behind

those who would destroy us.

And then?

And then you will join me

on a higher plane...

feeding on them.

We will create more

of our kind, Lucy.

Which way?

I know that way lies

Scarborough, but I don't know.

Listen. Listen!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey there, driver.

Tom Hindley, is that you?

Yes, sir.

It's me. Morning.

- What are you doin' out here?

- I had to pick up

another crate...

and take to the docks

at Scarborough before I--

- [ Neighing ]

- Whoa.!

Whoa.!

Look! That crate!

Scarborough.

The port!

[Jonathan ]

Then he's leaving England.

[ Van Helsing ] After him.!
