For the first time in the history
of biology, Doctor Orla
has created artificial life!
Yes, it's been a success.
A victory for science.
I've never denied Orla's scientific value.
- But at what expense?
- I don't understand you.
What do you mean by that?
You're a scientist and you know it.
At the expense of sacrifices,
sleepless nights, work!
And something else, Fred.
Human lives. How many have died
to fulfill Orla's dream?
But he hasn't done it.
It's been a fool's idea.
Yes, Gotho's, who's protected by Orla and
is lied to so that his plans can continue.
Believe me. Orla is not trying to save
humanity or anything but his pride.
It's his ambition. His ambition for power
is what moves him.
But he says that thanks to his discoveries
many lives will be saved.
That's not true.
And even if it was, you can't save a life
by destroying others.
That's true. But what can we do?
Quit the investigation.
I'm begging you, Fred.
We can't keep doing this!
All the hunchback's alleged crimes
are actually Orla's!
He's the one responsible for them!
That's true. He fooled me for some time.
But we can't continue with him.
of this horror he has created.
I'm glad you finally understand.
Calm down, Tauchner.
The experiment was a success.
Don't quit what could be
the victory of a lifetime!
- A blood-stained victory!
- And what else could we do?
How many bodies have ended up in that tray
Gotho! Get him!
No, Gotho! I need him.
Come on.
You shouldn't have come, Gotho.
It's too dangerous.
And I don't want you to get hurt
because of me.
I... had to see you again.
But if you want, I'll leave.
It's not that, Gotho.
I'm scared the police might find you.
They are looking for you everywhere.
I don't understand you.
No one has ever cared about me.
If it wasn't for what you've done, I would
think you're making fun of me.
And what would I make fun of?
Of your physical flaws?
Everyone does.
Only Ilse would let me be
by her side. But...
Do you still love her?
I do. I'm scared that by being with you
right now
I'm sure that if she could see us
she wouldn't be angry.
Doctor Meyer, Marlene is gone.
Her bed is empty. Her roommates say
they haven't seen or heard anything.
Maybe it's the latest crime
by that hunchback the police are hunting.
Gotho? That's not possible.
- Why are you so sure?
- I don't know.
I'm convinced that all of this
is being done
by someone hiding behind that poor man.
Maybe you're right.
Well, I have to leave now.
If Marlene isn't here when I'm back,
we'll call the police.
Where is Tauchner?
I'll tell you he's near,
if it makes you feel better.
And in perfect condition.
One of my inmates is gone.
I know it's your fault,
and I'm going to call the police.
Considering how far we've come,
I wouldn't recommend that.
Unless you're willing to support
my plans, you cannot leave.
What kind of plans?
Very simple.
It is very important
that I have living human tissue,
and for that,
I chose your reformatory.
and no one will miss them.
Also, as the principal, you'll be able
to explain their disappearances.
If you agree, Tauchner's life
will not be at risk. If you don't...
But... why do you need those girls?
It's better if you see it. Come with me.
It's horrible! It ate her!
There's an explanation.
I soon discovered that the creature
was prone to look like
In the beginning, I tried to feed her
corpses, but she would reject them.
I wanted to synthesize a humanoid.
That's why I asked Gotho
to kidnap the girls.
Fred! Where are you?
Fred! Answer, please! Fred!
Fred!
Fred?
Gotho!
First Marlene,
now Doctor Meyer and her fianc
have also vanished.
That's why I called you.
But I don't understand why you didn't call
us when that girl disappeared!
Marlene, right?
Yes. The reason why I didn't call you was
because of Doctor Meyer's disappearance.
She was supposed
Maybe that girl just decided to leave.
We'll talk with Doctor Orla
about Meyer and Tauchner's
disappearance.
He was his assistant,
so he might know something.
As you can see, I also had problems.
But I didn't have a chance to report it.
So do you know
anything about your assistant?
Yes... I think he told me something about
a trip to take care of some family issues.
I haven't heard from him since.
Do you think Doctor Meyer went with him?
Possibly.
But I can't really talk about her
because I barely know her.
I saw your body today. It was like Ilse's.
And soon you'll be like her.
And Gotho will love you forever. Forever.
It's the most incredible thing
anyone has ever imagined. And it's there!
And it keeps growing and growing!
But she needs more food.
Do you understand, Gotho?
More. More, lots more!
Go to the reformatory, Gotho!
Run. Run!
Gotho, you need to help me.
You need to help me
I can't. The Professor would get angry.
He has been very kind to me.
He'll make a woman like Ilse for me.
But, Gotho, how can you...
How can you believe that?
Orla can't do such a thing.
Gotho, listen! Don't leave, please! Gotho!
Listen, Tauchner.
For the last time, listen! We are about
to make the biggest discovery in history!
There's more than biology at stake here.
The creature is a primordial.
One of the beings that inhabited Earth
before the human race!
Her race is the oldest!
Books like the Necronomicon,
and the old treaties of magic and alchemy,
are full of references
concerning this entity. And I...
I have given her the chance to have a body
in her artificial life!
A very interesting story,
but I don't care any more!
That creature holds the secrets
of every ancient civilization,
and she will share them with us, Tauchner!
She will share them with us.
The world will kneel before us.
Neither Maria nor I will collaborate
with you, Doctor Orla.
It would mean adding even more crimes
to the existing ones.
All right. Then you are making me do this.
You'll become food for the creature.
She's uneasy. She needs food, Gotho.
She needs food!
That scream... it's from here,
it's a woman!
Go after her, Gotho. Go after her!
Gotho, damn you!
Where is that disgusting ape?
The creature is hungry, and if we
don't feed her, she will destroy us all!
Hurry up! The primordial needs more food!
No. Not her. She was kind to me.
And she won't die!
All right.
Go for the others!
No. Not them. You are the guilty one here!
You fooled me!
I will kill you!
Maria!
Please, Elke... we need to save her!
Let's go!
Take Elke, hurry up!
The door is about to break!
We won't be able to beat him.
He will kill us both!
Gotho, where is Gotho?
Gotho!
