House of Dracula Page #4

But it's impossible.

Only the full moon

affects Mr. Talbot.

The moon won't be full again

until tomorrow night.

Not only that,

but Mr. Talbot has

undergone an operation...

which makes physical exertion

out of the question.

Running a short distance,

much less from the village,

would cause

serious complications.

A cerebral hemorrhage,

perhaps even his death.

I respect your word,

but a murder has

been committed.

It's imperative that I search

your premises immediately.

He's the man you want.

Are you gonna let

Dr. Edelmann talk

you out of it?

That's enough, Steinmuhl.

That's enough.

I apologize, Doctor,

but the man who

killed his brother is

somewhere around here.

It's my duty to find him.

I shall hold you

responsible for these

people until further notice.

[Knocking]

Yes?

What are you

doing here, my boy?

You shouldn't be up.

Never mind me, Doctor.

It's you I'm worried about.

You were with Seigfried tonight

when he went to the village.

I saw you.

I saw you when

you came back.

Why didn't you tell

Inspector Holtz?

After what

you've done for me?

Why, you tried to help me.

And you want to help me now?

If I possibly can.

Because you suffered the tortures

I'm going through now,

you of all people will understand

what I'm going to say.

In trying to perform

the miracle of medical science,

I failed.

My blood has

been contaminated...

by the blood of Dracula.

My soul and mind have been

seized by some nameless horror,

a lust which changes me into the thing

that killed Seigfried tonight.

If you wish to help me,

there's one way

in which you can.

Say nothing to Inspector Holtz

of what you know.

Not to protect me,

but to give me time.

Time to do for Nina

what I've done for you.

After that, this evil

thing must be destroyed.

You have my word that

it will be, my boy.

But if I am unable,

you must do it for me.

Dr. Franz Edelmann.

Bonn University, cum laude.

What's going on here?

I was just on my way over

to your office, Inspector.

I want you to take

a look at this.

I found it clenched

in Seigfried's left hand.

Dr. Edelmann killed him.

Be quiet, Steinmuhl.

You don't know what this means.

Neither do I.

It's obviously a matter

for the police to handle.

Is that clear?

It's clear Dr. Edelmann

killed my brother.

Last night you

thought it was Talbot.

Tonight you say

it's a man we've known

and respected for years.

You're worse than a gossiping

old woman. Go home!

Go home, all of you.

I'm sick and tired of this.

Come on, break it up.

[Steinmuhl]

Something's going on

at Dr. Edelmann's, I tell you.

What does Holtz

have to say about it?

[As Holtz]

This is a matter for

the police to handle.

It's a matter

for us to handle...

unless we all

want to be murdered.

He's right. I'm for doing

something about it.

Well, I don't know now.

I'm with you.

The next few moments

will give us our answer.

It's the time we've all

been looking forward to.

You must put fear

out of your mind.

Confront it with a belief

that the past is over with,

that a new life lies ahead.

A new life.

Stay here, please.

All of you.

But, Larry...

No!

Not until we can be sure.

Oh, Doctor, it's wonderful.

Dr. Edelmann? Doctor!

[Electricity Crackling]

That's it. That's it.

Now! Now!

That's it. That's it!

I'll make you strong,

stronger than you've ever been.

I'll give you the strength

of a hundred men.

No, Dr. Edelmann.

No! You promised.

What are you doing here?

Why, l...

You were spying on me,

weren't you?

No, I just wanted to find you.

I wanted to tell you that l...

You shouldn't

have done that, Nina.

I want to see

Dr. Edelmann at once.

You shouldn't have come here.

I don't like people who see

what they're not supposed to see.

Aaah!

Doctor!

[Miliza]

He's gone mad.

Hello, Mr. Talbot.

You broke your promise

to me, didn't you?

You told the police.

I don't like people who break

their promises, Mr. Talbot.

Get out!

The Frankenstein monster!
