House of Dracula Page #3

It is like the music.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

Oh, good evening, Baron.

Thank you, Miliza.

That'll be all.

I feel that we're

making progress, Baron.

This photomicrograph of your

blood reveals an odd condition,

one which I can't

account for as yet.

What is it?

A different species

of antibodies has appeared.

Why worry so long

as the treatments are

proving successful?

If a doctor effects

a cure, he wants to

know how he did it...

Which is of little

concern to the patient

so long as he's being cured.

Day after tomorrow?

At the same time.

Then good night, Doctor.

Please go to bed, Miliza.

I'll finish down here.

I think I will.

Miliza!

Miliza!

Are you all right?

The music is bringing

my world closer, closer.

Doctor, Baron Latos...

he left here early this

evening, didn't he?

About half

past eight. Why?

L... l... Miliza

and I were working.

What are you

trying to tell me?

She seemed awfully tired...

like a person in a trance.

In a trance?

She left me without

saying a word.

I followed her. She met

Baron Latos in the hall.

They went into the garden.

And when he walked

in front of the mirror,

I couldn't see his reflection.

I imagined that, didn't I?

Didn't I?

No, Nina. Baron Latos

shows no reflection.

Then he...

He's Count Dracula.

In trying to save him,

I've endangered the lives of all of you.

Then cast away the cross

so that you may join me there.

I must try to stop him

before it's too late.

But how?

Prepare for

a transfusion at once.

You can't give

another one so soon.

Do as I tell you.

If anything should

happen to me tonight,

go to the armor room

in the basement and

burn what you find.

What is it, Doctor?

You'll understand.

You must destroy it by fire.

Go to your room.

When you hear the music,

I will come to you.

I've been looking

for you, Baron.

You remember that I was puzzled

tonight by the new antibodies?

Yes.

I know now where they came from.

They're from my blood.

We may be on the verge

of an important discovery.

So to check my theory, I'm going

to give you another transfusion.

Now?

Lmmediately.

If this is the answer,

we must see.

Doctor.

Dr. Edelmann!

Doctor!

Dr. Edelmann!

He's gone.

Mr. Talbot! Mr. Talbot!

[Footsteps]

Miliza.

She's all right now.

But what about him?

The evil I brought here

will never live again.

[Electricity Crackling]

They tried to kill you,

but they couldn't.

Frankenstein

gave you eternal life,

power which time

cannot destroy,

the secret of immortality

which will soon be mine.

[Electricity Crackling]

[Electricity Stops]

Dr. Edelmann?

Go away.

Leave me alone.

Dr. Edelmann,

I have some

coffee for you.

Go away, I tell you.

Dr. Edelmann, let me in!

Doctor.

Doctor, you're ill.

No.

I'm all right.

That'll make you feel better.

How much of the spore

concentrate have we ready?

Don't worry about that now.

We're making fine progress.

Answer me. Is there

enough for two operations?

No, there won't be

for some time.

But we do have

enough for one?

I think so.

Then I must operate

as soon as possible, on you.

But doctor...

You were right, Nina.

I am ill.

It's impossible to know

what the future holds.

Oh, there, there, Doctor.

You mustn't talk like that.

I'll operate tomorrow, Nina.

Then you must

operate on Mr. Talbot.

The moon will be full in a few days.

We can't let him suffer again.

But you... You've

waited such a long time.

Then I can wait a little longer.

It won't make any difference.

You're worn out.

Why don't you get some rest?

I'm all right.

I know who

you're thinking of.

I'm hoping we'll

be ready in time.

I can't stand the thought of him

having to go through that again.

Don't worry,

we'll have enough.

Why, it's wonderful,

Dr. Edelmann.

What you've done would

ordinarily mean an operation

of the most delicate nature.

This way the dangers of

surgery didn't even exist.

We can expect

some nervous shock.

He must be kept quiet.

Any exertion might undo everything

I hope we've accomplished.

We'll know in a few days, Miliza.

All we can do now is hope.

And pray.

We must think

now only of Nina.

Every minute must be

devoted to producing...

more of the

concentrate for her.

You're a fine nurse, Miliza.

You know perfectly well

Mr. Talbot should be

asleep by now.

Sleep? I'll have a lifetime

in which to sleep,

when I know what lies ahead.

After what Dr. Edelmann

has done for you,

only happiness lies ahead.

I wonder.

Please don't think

that I'm ungrateful.

Time after time people

have tried to help me.

Time after time they've failed.

If this fails...

It won't fail, Larry.

You must believe that it won't.

I've tried to, but when

I face the night...

Try to see the night

as something beautiful.

Until the full moon turns it

into a thing of ugliness and horror.

Soon you'll see it

as everyone else does.

Restful,

tranquil and serene.

Until that time comes,

I'll live a thousand hopes,

die a thousand times.

It will never be ugly

to you again, Larry.

Believe me, I know it.

How do you know that?

My heart tells me.

Hello, Seigfried.

Dr. Edelmann!

Did you hear me call

to you, Seigfried?

Why no, sir. I would have

stopped for you if I had.

I'm certain you would have.

Don't worry about it,

Seigfried.

What's the matter,

Seigfried?

You act as though

you were afraid.

Oh, no, sir.

Why should I be afraid?

Of the night, perhaps.

I'm not afraid of the night.

Your hands are

trembling, Seigfried.

Are they?

Seigfried.

Yes, sir?

I believe I know

what you're afraid of.

Do you?

You're afraid of me.

Of you, sir?

'Cause if you weren't,

you'd look at me, Seigfried.

Ya! Ya!

See, you are afraid of me.

You're driving faster so

that you can get into the

village and tell the police.

Why should I want to

tell the police anything?

Because you're afraid

I'm going to kill you.

Kill me? Doctor!

Yes. You've seen what's

happened to your old friend.

He doesn't want anybody but

himself to know about that.

No, Doctor!

I will never tell!

That's right, Seigfried.

You never will!

Help! Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

There he is!

There he is!

This way!

It's your brother Seigfried.

Is he dead?

There he goes!

[Knocking]

Good evening, Inspector.

Sorry to disturb you, Doctor,

but I'd like to see...

Mr. Talbot and everybody

else in the house at once.

Certainly.

Is something wrong?

You'll know in good time,

Doctor. Now please hurry.

Now, Inspector, what is it?

Your man Seigfried's

been murdered.

Seigfried?

Murdered?

By the person who rode

into the village with him tonight.

His throat was torn open

as though by some enraged animal.

So naturally you suspect me.

I have good reason to.

But he hasn't been out

of the house for days.

Not to your knowledge.

Have you been with him all evening?

Until an hour ago.

But the murder was only

committed 20 minutes ago.

And within

the last 5 minutes,

we pursued the murderer

to these very grounds.
