I, Frankenstein Page #4

(YELLS)

(GRUNTS)

(SNARLS)

(ROARS)

(GROANS) I've seen the bodies.

You'll never be able

to control them.

Control has never been the problem.

There are millions of demon

spirits trapped in hell

waiting for the chance to

possess a human body

and return to our world.

(SNARLING)

What's this got to do with me?

What's in hell that's

got to do with me?

You have no soul,

and a demon spirit can only

possess a body that has no soul.

No. No.

(GROWLS)

You know what the best thing

about having the journal is?

(GASPS)

I no longer need to

bring you in alive.

I need it alive!

- (GASPING)

- I need to study it!

Bring it back to the lab and...

You can read the journal

and study its corpse.

Its corpse won't show me

how its organs function,

how they respond to tests.

Let me bring it back to the

lab where I can open it up,

but keep it alive while I run

my tests for Mr. Wessex.

You can destroy it when I'm done.

(GROWLS)

(PANTING)

(SNARLS)

(ROARS)

(SCREECHING)

The journal!

Ah!

(BOTH PANTING)

(EXHALES)

(BOTH PANTING)

- TERRA:
It's okay. Come on.

- (ADAM GROANS)

I'm going to take your

coat off now. Ready?

Look in the cabinet.

Okay.

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(GASPS)

Sit down.

Sit down, please.

It's okay.

Please, it's all right,

you can sit down.

(GROANING)

We can't stay here long.

Okay, hold still, please.

Demons will be looking

for us everywhere.

We have to get to Leonore,

the Gargoyle Queen.

She's the only one

who can help us now.

You saw that thing.

You saw what it was.

I don't know what I saw.

They'll come for you.

- They need you to help them.

- Help them do what?

Animate an army of corpses

to take over the world?

- Corpses possessed by demons.

- It can't happen. It won't.

First thing they'll do is

wipe out the Gargoyle Order.

There's so few gargoyles left,

they won't stand a chance.

Then Naberius will

launch a war on humans.

Kill most, enslave the rest.

Your world will end.

(GASPS)

And what will you do?

It has nothing to do with me.

Of course, it does.

You're as much a part of

this world as anybody.

No, I'm different.

You're not that different.

I'm a dozen used parts from

eight different corpses.

I'm a monster.

You're only a monster

if you behave like one.

I've never had to thank a

human for anything before.

Well, we have our uses, I suppose.

(GROANS)

(SIGHS)

Look, Adam...

The journal is not here, sir.

(CLANGING ECHOING)

(GRUNTS)

(JOINTS POPPING)

How are you feeling?

I've been through worse.

(FAUCET RUNNING)

What happened to

Victor Frankenstein?

They say he vanished after his...

Wife died.

I killed his wife.

He hunted me.

I would've killed him, too.

But he froze to death.

I hated him.

Have you killed anyone since?

Only demons.

I finished reading it.

Seems he refined the process

significantly after you.

I mean, his science is still

incredibly, wildly out of the box,

but, um, I think I

can reproduce it.

Perhaps even improve on it.

Frankenstein promised to make

you a companion, didn't he?

A promise he broke.

Is that why you came to me?

You want me to fulfill Victor

Frankenstein's promise?

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Carl!

- I got your message.

Thought you'd be asleep by now.

Carl, listen to me. I want you

to leave Wessex right now.

Leave?

And I want you to meet

me at the train station.

I've still got all the

data crunching to do.

Carl, please.

Please just trust me.

It's about the journal.

All right, I'll be there in 20.

Okay. Bye.

You shouldn't have done that.

Well, he knows as much about the

re-animation process as I do.

If what you say is true,

then he's in danger as well.

We don't need him.

This isn't about what

you need right now.

I'll go with you, look after you.

You go talk to the Gargoyle Queen.

I'll meet you back here in an hour.

Terra!

That way you can just

look after yourself.

You're good at that.

(GASPS)

Here.

(DOOR SLAMS)

Carl!

I'm sorry.

- What?

- They made me do it.

I had no choice. They made me!

(GASPS)

Behind you!

(GRUNTING)

You have work to do, Dr. Wade.

Release him.

You lied to me.

Yes, I did.

But I had a higher duty to

protect the human race.

Do you understand what

that journal is to me?

It's the chronicle of

how I came to be.

Who I am.

What I am.

You are a unique, lonely being

rejected by both your maker

and the rest of humanity.

And, as a result, you

are filled with rage.

You do not need a book

to tell you that.

Naberius has found a way to summon

every demon you've ever descended.

What?

ADAM:
Possession,

in bodies that have no souls.

Only the dead have no souls.

- What is the use of possessing a corpse?

- There is none.

Unless you could

animate that corpse.

Naberius has been planning

this for centuries.

Victor Frankenstein

just made it possible.

- How do you know all this?

- I've seen the bodies.

There are tens of

thousands of them.

Where?

We are your friends, Adam.

We will never try to

control you again.

But if you have Victor

Frankenstein's journal,

surely you see now that

it must be destroyed.

My circumstances have changed.

I have someone with

me now, a human.

A scientist.

I have to protect her.

What would you have us do?

Get us out of here.

Then I will tell you

where to find him.

Retrieve your scientist,

come back here,

then we shall take you

where you wish to go.

I've made too many

mistakes with you, Adam.

I'll not make another.

You put your emotion

before your sacred duty!

Follow him, Gideon.

As soon as you have

the journal in sight,

destroy him.

Terra?

(DISTANT ROARING)

(GASPS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(AX CLANGING)

(GROWLING)

(ROARING)

(SNARLS)

(GROANS)

Remember... I have no soul.

God will surely damn you.

He already did.

I know who you are,

and I know what you want me to do.

And I won't do it.

I'd rather die.

(CARL CHOKING)

Carl!

Carl! (SOBBING)

(GASPS)

Do you want him back?

Show me how.

(SNIFFLING)

(SNIFFLING)

(MACHINE POWERING UP)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

MOLOKAI:
Excellent.

Thank you, Dr. Wade.

(SNARLS)

(SNARLS)

My Queen!

We found the creature.

(GARGOYLE ROARS)

(ROARING)

(PANTING)

(ROARS)

Sir, it's here.

(PANTING)

"Him," not "it."

(SNARLING)

(YELLING)

This is the place.

He led us here.

Leave him to me!

(ROARING)

(MONITOR BEEPING)

(GRUNTING)

(YELLS)

(CLATTERING)

Naberius!

Frankenstein.

How good of you to come back.

I've come to destroy

you and this place.

The Gargoyle Order must survive

and mankind with it.

You cannot destroy me,

and I have many other

places such as this

all over the world.

As for the Order and mankind,

nothing can stop their demise,

let alone a monster like you!

(SNARLING)

(YELLING)

(ALARM BEEPING)

- Too late, Dr. Wade.

- (GROANS)

We already have everything

we need from you.

(GRUNTS)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

I am a demon prince!

You will kneel before me!
