Frankenstein Created Woman Page #4

Now, let's see if she can walk.

Oh, Baron! Not now. She's

still suffering from shock.

Alright, tomorrow then.

Please...

who am I?

Good.

Now, walk on your toes.

Stretch up as high as you can.

Do you feel any pain?

No.

No discomfort?

- None

- Excellent.

- Now, lie down please.

- Baron.

- Please, may I ask something of you?

- What is it?

May I see my face?

See it? What on earth for?

I want to know what I'm like.

The scar has healed perfectly. Nothing

to worry about. Lie down, please.

When are you going to tell me?

- Tell you what?

- Who I am.

Where I'm from.

How did I come to be here.

Your name is Christina, and

you're a very healthy young girl.

That's all you need to know

for the time being.

Rest now.

Go on.

Don't be afraid.

Who am I?!

You're a very, very

lovely girl, my dear.

Just where do you

think you're going?

Out. It's such a lovely day.

Christina...

you are not to leave this house

without my permission.

- But, Baron...

- She is not to leave until I say so.

- This is entirely my fault, Baron.

- Naturally.

Oh, Christina...

I shall be needing

the top room for my work,

would you please arrange

to sleep downstairs.

Doctor Hertz will help you

with your things.

Christina, my dear...

there is something that I must

tell you about yourself...

and about him... the Baron.

He told me not to,

but I feel I must

so that you can

understand him a little better.

Is it about who I was?

That I cannot tell you. Not yet.

Come and sit down.

Now, then...

When you first came here, you were

not as you are now, you know.

Your face was terribly scarred...

and your body was

deformed and twisted.

He made you as you are now.

But, how?

By surgery... unbelievably

brilliant surgery.

- But his hands...

- No, no, the hands were mine,

but the skill was his.

He directed my every move.

Christina, my dear, that man

posesses such power...

such knowledge...

why, sometimes I don't even

understand it myself.

But he is a wonderful man.

Hertz!

Coming, Baron!

- But, will it be safe?

- I've no idea.

But if we are to learn anything

we must be prepared to take risks.

This test will be interesting

and possibly informative.

That's enough reason

for me to carry it out.

Now, will you please tell

Christina to get ready?

We'll be leaving in half an hour.

Christina,

I'm going to show you something.

When you see it,

I want you to tell me whatever

thoughts come into your head.

Now, will you do that?

Good.

Yes?

Papa.

What did you say?

Papa!

He remembered. He remembered

his father on the guillotine.

He?

Hans. Surely you

understand by now.

- His soul is in her body.

- Yes!

Not all the time... not all the time.

We must have some more tests.

Oh, no, not now. She's sleeping.

This was a shock to her.

She doesn't understand

what is happening.

She's bewildered.

Anton!

Anton!

Anton!

Hans!

Hey!

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Nothing?

You've come in here

as if you'd seen a ghost.

I tell you, it was nothing!

Look, deal me in, eh?

And let's have some more wine.

Landlord?

Come on. Another one, come on.

- No.

- Double or nothing.

Nothing. I'm going home.

What's the matter with you?

The matter? With me?

There's nothing the

matter with me.

There's nothing the

matter with me!

Alright. Alright.

Anton... calm yourself down.

"Calm yourself down. "

Alright, go on home.

I'm having another drink.

Landlord?! One more!

My friends have to go "bye-bye".

Leave him.

Don't forget to say your prayers.

Here.. I'll show you a trick.

Now... take a card. Any card.

What's the matter with everybody!

Oh, God.

Right. Out!

No! I want another drink!

I said out! I'm closing up!

- Go on! Get out!

- I'll report you!

- I'll tell my father!

- Get on home!

Hello!

Who are you?

Does it matter?

No.

- What are you doing here?

- Is that important?

Well, no... I suppose not.

It's just, um...

just that I've never

seen you here before.

Oh...

- You're very pretty.

- So they tell me.

And who tells you?

Men, I suppose.

I suppose you've, eh...

been with lots of men, eh?

And you have been

with lots of girls.

Of course.

- Do you want to come with me?

- Where?

Anywhere.

There's an empty house

just around the corner.

No.

- We could go there.

- No.

Where, then?

I don't know.

Well, alright then.

Alright.

Hey...

You know... I used to know

the girl who lived here.

What was she like?

She was ugly.

All twisted. Like this.

You know, I don't believe

you're real.

I am real.

Prove it.

I shall... in a minute.

- Hey, where are you going?

- To change.

You know,

I don't believe you are real.

I think you're a "mirage".

A mirage.

An oasis in the middle

of my desert's life.

Can you help me off

with my boots?

I say, can you hear me?

Are you there?

Where are you hiding?

If you've been tricking me...

Anton.

Anton!

Kill, Christina!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Breakfast!

Christina, my dear,

with fresh rolls.

Oh... I love you.

Hertz.

When you've finished,

I'd like your assistance.

Christina, my breakfast

on a tray, please.

I'm going.

Are you coming?

What's the point?

I shan't be able to sleep.

Might as well stay here.

Have another drink

to quieten you down.

I don't want another drink.

Karl...

who did it?

Who killed him?

Anton?

God knows.

Yes. God knows, indeed.

You don't think

it was a punishment...

retribution...

for what he did?

- For what we did?

- Shut up.

Don't tell me...

Shut up!

I'm going.

Good night.

Can you help me, please?

I can try.

I was on my way to Innesbad,

and I missed the coach.

There isn't another until morning.

I'll stay here and

keep you company.

- Oh, you are very kind.

- So they tell me.

Would you care for

some refreshment?

Please.

I'll fetch the landlord.

Landlord!

Landlord!

The fellow appears

to have gone to bed.

Here.

You really are very kind.

Are you sure it's not

too much trouble?

Trouble? Of course not.

It's a pleasure.

Oh!

Clumsy fool. I'm so sorry...

My dress.

I must wash it or

the wine will stain.

You will wash it?

It won't take a moment.

I'll do it in there.

You have another drink.

Karl.

Karl.

Hans.

Kill him!

Kill him, Christina!

Oh, my dear child. You shouldn't

be doing that. Let me.

It's for the stove, for coffee.

Even so, a nice young lady like you

shouldn't be chopping wood.

It's your friend.

I know. It's terrible.

Hans.

He's come back.

Hans...

he's... come back!

If he's come back

from the grave...

somebody's brought him back.

What the devil's going on?!

How dare you!

Get away from here!

Baron Frankenstein!

We want to speak to you!

I'm busy!

You'll have to see them!

They've threatened to burn down

the house if you don't!

And he had written the name

of his assassin in his own blood!

And what was the name?

Hans.

Hans?

Is this why you interrupted my work?

To tell me this fantasy?

I realize that you are

an educated man, Baron,

but there are things even the most
