Dracula Page #5

She lives beyond

the grace of God. . .

. . .a wanderer in the outer darkness.

She is vampyre, nosferatu.

These creatures do not die

like the bee after the first sting. . .

. . .but instead grow strong

and become immortal. . .

. . .once infected

by another nosferatu.

So my friends,

we fight not one beast. . .

. . .but legions that go on

age after age after age. . .

. . .feeding on the blood

of the living.

Quickly, hide. Now.

Come to me, Arthur.

Leave these others

and come to me.

My arms are hungry for you,

my darling.

Kiss me and caress me. . .

. . .my darling husband, please.

We wave Christ

and his holy blood!

We are strong in the Lord

and the power of his might!

The power of God is upon us!

l bring you from shadow

into light!

l cast you out,

the prince of darkness. . .

. . .into hell!

A moment's courage,

and it is done.

Take the stake

in your left hand. . .

. . .place the point over the heart.

Then in God's name, strike.

Do it now!

Eat, feast. You'll need your strength

for the dark days ahead.

-Doctor?

-Ja?

how did Lucy die?

Well--

Was she in great pain?

Ja, she was in great pain.

Then we cut off her head. . .

. . .drove a stake through her heart and

burned it and then she found peace.

Doctor! Please.

So, Mr. harker. . .

. . .l must now ask you,

as your doctor. . .

. . .a sensitive question.

During your infidelity

with those creatures. . .

. . .those demonic women. . .

. . .did you, for one instant,

taste of their blood?

Good!

Then you have not infected your blood

with the terrible. . .

. . .disease that destroyed poor Lucy.

Doctor, you must understand.

l doubted everything. . .

. . .even my mind.

l was impotent with fear.

-l know.

-But, sir. . .

. . .l know where the bastard sleeps.

l brought him there,

to Carfax Abbey.

Vampires do exist.

And this one we fight,

this one we face. . .

. . .has the strength

of 20 or more people. . .

. . .and you can testify for that,

Mr. harker.

but he can also control

the meaner things of life...

... the bat, the rodent, the wolf.

He can appear as mist, as vapour,

as fog and vanish at will.

Now, all these things

Dracula can do. . .

. . .but he is not free.

he must rest in the sacred earth

of his homeland to gain his evil power.

lt is here that we must find him

and destroy him utterly.

l almost feel pity for anything

so hunted as this count.

how can you pity

such a creature?

l'll take Mina to my quarters.

Good. You'll be safer there.

Mr. Morris, your bullets

will not harm him.

he must be beheaded.

l suggest you use your big bowie knife.

Well, l wasn't planning

on getting that close, Doc.

Master!

Dr. Jack!

l've been promised eternal life!

Dr. Seward, who is that man?

Mr. Renfield. This is no place for you,

Madam Mina.

Renfield? l must see him.

Mr. Renfield, behave yourself.

This is Mrs. harker.

-Good evening.

-Good evening, Mr. Renfield.

lt seems l've been

rather naughty.

l know you.

You're the bride

my master covets.

l have a husband.

l am Mrs. harker.

My master tells me about you.

What does he tell you?

That he is coming.

That he is coming for you.

Oh, please.

Don't stay here.

Get away from these men, please.

And l pray to God

l may never see your sweet face again.

And may the Lord bless

and keep you.

Master! Master!

You promised me eternal life. . .

. . .but you give it

to the pretty woman!

Dr. Jack!

l'm no lunatic man!

l'm a sane man

fighting for his soul!

My quarters are spare, but l think

you will find them comfortable.

Dr. Jack!

Water and toiletries

at your disposal.

You'll be completely safe here.

Destroy every box.

Sterilize the earth inside.

Leave him no refuge.

Let the exorcism begin.

You have betrayed me.

No, master.

l serve you.

l serve only you.

Oh, yes, my love.

You've found me.

My most precious life.

l have wanted this to happen.

l know that now.

l want to be with you always.

You cannot know

what you are saying.

Yes. . .

. . .l do know.

l feared l would never feel

your touch again.

l thought you were dead.

There is no life in this body.

But you live.

You live.

What are you?

l must know.

You must tell me.

l am. . .

. . .nothing.

Lifeless.

-Soulless.

-What do you mean?

hated and feared.

l am dead to all the world.

hear me.

l am the monster. . .

. . .that breathing men would kill.

l am Dracula.

You murdered Lucy!

l love you.

Oh, God, forgive me, l do.

l want to be what you are. . .

. . .see what you see. . .

. . .love what you love.

To walk with me. . .

. . .you must die

to your breathing life. . .

. . .and be reborn to mine.

You are my love. . .

. . .and my life always.

Then. . .

. . .l give you life eternal. . .

. . .everlasting love. . .

. . .the power of the storm. . .

. . .and the beasts of the earth.

Walk with me. . .

. . .to be my loving wife forever.

l will. Yes. Yes.

Drink and join me. . .

. . .in eternal life.

l cannot let this be.

Please, l don't care.

Make me yours.

You will be cursed as l am

to walk in the shadow of death. . .

. . . .for all eternity.

l love you too much. . .

. . .to condemn you.

Then take me away

from all this death.

You think you can destroy me. . .

. . .with your idols?

Sacred blood of Christ!

l, who served the cross.

l, who commanded nations. . .

. . .hundreds of years

before you were born.

Your armies were defeated.

You tortured and impaled

thousands of people.

l was betrayed.

Look what your God. . .

. . .has done to me.

No, your war with God is over.

You must pay for your crimes.

Christ compels you!

She is now. . .

. . .my bride!

More light!

Light! More light!

Unclean.

-Get them!

-This way!

-Get them!

-They must be found.

Unclean.

We have learned something much.

Dracula fears us.

He fears time.

For, if not,

why does he hurry so?

He is gone.

How do you know?

He speaks to me.

he has a strong

mind connection to you.

his heart was strong enough

to survive the grave.

-You admire him.

-Ja.

he was, in life,

a most remarkable man. . .

. . .and his mind

was great and powerful. . .

. . .but greater is the necessity

to stamp him out. . .

. . .and destroy him utterly.

-Doctor?

-Ja?

l know that l am

becoming like him.

Your salvation

is his destruction.

That is why

l want to hypnotise you.

l want you to help me find him

before it is too late.

Please, help me find him.

Please.

Look into this light. . .

. . .the light of all light,

into this flame.

Your eyes are heavy.

You want to sleep.

Sleep now.

-Sleep.

-l must go to him.

he calls.

What do you hear?

What do you hear, child?

What do you hear?

Oh, my prince is calling me.

He is travelling across icy seas

to his beloved home.

There he will grow strong again.

I am coming to him

to partake of his strength.

We left London by train and crossed

the English Channel in stormy seas...

He commands the winds,

but we still have the advantage.

by train, we can reach the Romanian
