Madam Lucy! Madam Lucy!

Open up!

Come quickly to the Schraders...

Something terrible has happened there.

Lucy, calm down.

You can come closer.

It is not the plague.

My God! What happened?

I don't know exactly.

She was already dead, when I arrived.

He lost his sanity over it,

he started to rave.

We shall study this

matter scientifically...

...without prejudice,

and without superstition.

Enough! Enough. Stop acting like

you know everything.

I know, now, what I've got to do.

The consecrated host

bans the vampire.

And if a pure hearted woman, diverts

his attention from the cry of the cock...

...the first light of day will obliterate him.

Too late. Oh, God...

...if I had only listened to her.

A stake and a hammer.

I have to dispatch this demon forever.

Stop. Don't do it!

Van Helsing!

Get him! Yes, him!

That man has murdered the Count!

Have you done that?

With that stake?

Yes...

But I had a good reason for doing it.

That's for the courts to decide.

You're under arrest, Dr. Van Helsing.

Arrest this man.

Arrest him?

- I can't arrest him.

- Then get the police.

The police don't exist anymore.

Then take him to prison.

There's no one there to guard him.

It's your duty as a town employee

to handle it.

I don't have a weapon.

I don't care!

I want you to arrest this man!

Where will you take me, then?

I don't know where I'm taking you.

Take me wherever you want.

Don't just stand there.

Get a broom. It's all dusty.

Seal the room for

an official investigation.

And bring me my horse.

I have much to do.

Now!

Werner Herzog (German: [ˈvɛɐ̯nɐ ˈhɛɐ̯tsoːk]; born 5 September 1942) is a German screenwriter, film director, author, actor, and opera director. Herzog is a figure of the New German Cinema, along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Margarethe von Trotta, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Schröter, and Wim Wenders. Herzog's films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals who are in conflict with nature.French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive." American film critic Roger Ebert said that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular." He was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine in 2009. more…
