Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man Page #2

Synopsis: Larry Talbot finds himself in an asylum, recovering from an operation performed by the kindly Dr. Mannering. Inspector Owen finds him there, too, wanting to question him about a recent spate of murders. Talbot escapes and finds Maleva, the old gypsy woman who knows his secret: when the moon is full, he changes to a werewolf. She travels with him to locate the one man who can help him to die - Dr. Frankenstein. The brilliant doctor proves to be dead himself, but they do find Frankenstein's daughter. Talbot begs her for her father's papers containing the secrets of life and death. She doesn't have them, so he goes to the ruins of the Frankenstein castle to find them himself. There he finds the Monster, whom he chips out of a block of ice. Dr. Mannering catches up with him only to become tempted to monomania while using Frankenstein's old equipment.

Talbot thought he did. Sir.

He attacked it in the dark

one night. or so he thought.

But it was his son he

killed. Poor Mr. Larry.

Where is

Sir John Talbot now?

Over there. Sir. Died

of grief shortly after.

Let's get out of here.

But the body. Sir.

Mustn't touch that.

That's evidence. Yes. Sir.

Sergeant. If it's convenient. I'd like

to see a photograph of Lawrence Talbot.

There's one up in my office. Sir. Good.

Here's Mr. Larry's

photograph. Sir.

Take a look at this face. Doctor.

Isn't that our man in Cardiff?

Yes. There is a similarity. But I

wouldn't swear it's the same man.

Of course it's not

the same man.

If it were.

I'd be off me top.

I think the sergeant here better

come back to Cardiff with us...

and see if he can positively

identify this man.

That's the thing to do. Do you

mind if I use your telephone?

I'd like to check up on my patient's

condition. Of course. Doctor. Over there.

[Ringing]

Hello? Put me through to the

Queen's Hospital in Cardiff. Please.

I want to talk to

Dr. Gordon.

Have you ever heard of

a Gypsy woman named Maleva?

A Gypsy woman?

A vagrant. Eh?

Mm-hmm. We always register them.

Hello. Dr. Gordon?

This is Dr. Mannering speaking.

How's Lawrence Talbot

doing?

You know. The head-injury case

that went violent yesterday.

Did you notify the police?

Well. I suppose that's all

we can do at present.

I'll be back tonight. Doctor.

Good-bye.

What happened to Talbot?

Did he die?

No. He tore off his straightjacket

during the night and escaped.

Tore off

his straightjacket?

How?

Bit right through it.

Tore it to shreds

with his teeth.

With his teeth?

[Barking]

Bruno!

Stop it!

What do you want here?

I'm looking for

an old Gypsy woman.

Maleva is her name.

Is she here with you?

Maleva? Yeah. She is with us.

You'll find her

over there.

Maleva!

They told me

you'd left England.

I've looked all over Europe

for you. From town to town.

Now that I've found you.

you must help me.

Come in.

What do you want

from me?

Maleva.

here I still carry

the sign of the pentagram.

The mark

of the werewolf.

I kill people.

When the moon is full.

I turn into a wolf.

It's not in my power

to help you.

You're the only one

that understands.

Nobody else in the world

will believe me.

But you...

you know.

Your own son Bela

was a werewolf.

He attacked me. He

changed me into a werewolf.

He's the one that put

this curse on me.

You watched over him until

he was permitted to die.

Well. Now I want to

die too.

Won't you show me the way? I can't.

But I will guard you

and take care of you...

as I took care of

my own son.

You're not leaving us.

You're not going with him.

He has the sign

of the beast on him.

He is dangerous

only when the moon is full.

I shall watch over him.

He will murder you.

No. I shall take him

to a place I know.

Where?

I know a man...

who has the power

to help you.

Help me?

Who?

Is that the town?

Yes. That is Vasaria.

At last.

[Clicking Tongue]

Stop.

Ooh.

Let's ask in here.

Are you the proprietor? I am.

What do you beggars want? [Maleva]

Wejust want to ask you, sir,

about the Doctor Frankenstein.

Frankenstein? Don't mention

that name around this town.

Oh. Please. Won't you

tell us where he lives?

There.

That's his

burial place.

The fire destroyed him

and all his misdeeds.

He's dead?

Oh. But he can't be.

He didn't die

any too soon for us.

We all wish that

he'd never been born.

What did you want

with him?

I heard he was

a great doctor...

who could help people that

other doctors couldn't cure.

Him? Murder and crimes

was all he ever brought us.

He harbored a monster

in his house,

a thing created

by black magic.

Dr. Frankenstein. Dead.

Come.

Thank you. Sir.

for the information.

Come on.

Get out and stay out.

We don't want your kind

around here.

Oh. Keep your hands

off of me!

Now I must

go on living.

There's no hope

for me to die.

Wait! Stop!

Don't go!

Wait!

Don't go!

Don't!

[Wolf Howling]

Who coulve done

this terrible thing?

Could it be

the monster again?

Frankenstein's

monster?

No. The monster was burned

to death by Dr. Frankenstein.

Yes. We found his bones

and buried them.

How do you know they were

the monster's bones?

She wasn't killed by a monster.

An animal bit her to death.

I saw the wound

on her throat.

What animals are around

here that can kill people?

[Wolf Howling]

A wolf.

Yes. A wolf.

That's his cry. Come on. Let's get him.

[All Clamoring]

[Dog Barking]

Come on!

Come on!

[Snarling]

[Dog Barking]

There he is!

[Barking Continues]

Where is he?

He was here a moment ago.

[All Chattering]

[Dog Barking]

The Gypsy woman! What

are you doing here?

Come on.

Speak up. Old witch.

Where's that strange man

that was with you?

Let's take her back to town.

We'll make her speak.

[All Chattering]

Dr. Frankenstein

must've kept records.

A diary.

You know where it is.

Show me.

It isn't here.

"To my dear father. "

Then...

she's the one...

that can tell me.

And this man. he wishes to buy

the ruins of my father's estate?

[Man] Yes. That's why I asked

you to come here, Baroness.

He wanted me to give him

your address.

Naturally.

I refused.

But since I knew you were anxious

to get rid of the property.

and all the memories

connected with it.

I thought that in

my position as mayor...

I would take the liberty

of sending for you.

- Did he say his name is Taylor?

- Yes.

And that's all

I know about him.

Baroness Frankenstein.

Mr. Taylor.

- Baroness.

- Mr. Taylor.

Come in, Mr. Taylor.

Come in, come in.

Do you mind if I speak to

the baroness alone. Please?

Why. Uh... Why. Uh.

Certainly. certainly.

Now. Uh. If. Uh...

If you need a witness for the

contract. Baroness. I'm at your service.

Thank you.

Won't you please

sit down. Mr. Taylor?

Thank you.

I understand that

you want to buy our land.

No. L...

I wanted to meet you.

I don't understand. I

didn't know how to find you,

and the mayor wouldn't

give me your address.

so I felt that if I offered

to buy your land...

that you'd be

sure to come.

It's certainly a most unusual

way to make an acquaintance.

But now that you have gone to

all this trouble to meet me.

what can I really

do for you?

I want

your father's records.

His experiments

with life and death.

The records of the creation

of the monster.

My father's diary.

Yes. You must

give it to me.

I don't have

any records.

If I had. L...

I would have destroyed

them long ago.

My father was

a great scientist.

but all he created

brought unhappiness.

terror.

Oh. But you don't

understand.

I must have them.

Won't you help me?

I'm sorry. Mr. Taylor.

There is nothing I can do.

The house burned down.

and I have never set a foot

on that ground again...

and never shall.

And that's all the

information I can give you.

Well. Is everything

settled. Baroness?

No.

We decided not to go through
