lieutenant.

Some cognac?

I would like that,

baron, thank you.

Stefan?

Stefan:

Yes, sir?

Cognac for our guest.

( thunder crashing onscreen )

God, what an ugly town

this has become.

Well, we certainly have

a lot of police out here.

( siren wailing in distance )

Baron, I wonder

if I might ask,

Who was the young woman

I saw in the window

Before you came

to the door?

Young woman?

Oh, I fear

you're mistaken.

No, I'm not mistaken;

I saw her.

Dark hair and

eyes, about 20.

Oh, I'm quite sure

you think you saw someone.

I am in full possession

of my faculties.

Please, allow me

to show you something.

You should

never believe

Everything your eyes

tell you, young man.

Is that the girl

you think you saw?

Of course...

Before you say

anything else,

Examine the portrait

closely--

The signature,

and above all, the date.

1786?

But that's

20 years ago.

Incredible.

The same girl, and she

hasn't changed a bit.

She has been dead

for 20 years.

( thunder rolling on movie )

( ominous music playing

on soundtrack )

( dialogue continues )

...For a ghost,

she's a very active

Young woman.

You're speaking

of the Baroness

von Leppe, my wife.

( sharp intake of breath )

( gunshot and glass shattering )

...Not quite as much

as I had thought.

The girl in

the window...

Lieutenant Duvalier,

The only occupants

of this castle

Are Stefan

and myself.

You are the first visitor

since the turn of the cen...

( people clamoring )

Good evening.

Hey, Mr. Orlok,

it certainly is a great honor

To have you with us.

That's very kind of you.

Where do you want us?

Uh, well,

we have a little stage

Right up in front

of the screen.

Come on in and

let's have a drink.

It's on Marshall.

Oh, thank you very much,

But I think we'll just wait

here in the car.

( clamoring )

When do you want us

to interrupt the film?

Do you have to interrupt

the film at all?

Yeah, we're just waiting

for Mr. Larkin.

Oh. Sam hasn't come yet,

has he, ed?

No.

Well, then,

We'll just go up front

and watch.

All right.

Uh, when you go in,

just turn around

And go all the way

up to the front,

up by the screen.

You won't be bothered there,

Mr. Orlok.

Thank you very much.

All right, Ludlum.

( clamoring continues )

( movie dialogue continues )

And her lover?

Stefan

took care of him.

Later, I made up the story

that she had died.

No one ever knew

of her betrayal of me.

( sharp intake of breath )

( gunshot )

Turn out the light!

The light!

( gunshot )

Hey, look, I-I'll

take a look.

( gunshot )

Stay in there!

Keep down!

( movie dialogue continues )

( gunshot )

There's somebody shooting

out here!

( gunshot )

Open the window!

Duvalier:

Has anyone else

except yourself...?

( dialogue continues )

You think I'm mad, Don't you?

Right now, baron, I'm not

sure just what I think.

Ah, but Don't forget,

you saw her, too.

Strange not to hear

any reactions, isn't it?

( movie soundtrack playing )

( bell ringing )

Take this gun.

Escort the lieutenant

to the castle.

( bell ringing )

If he resists, kill him.

Look, baron...

( thunder rumbling in movie )

( sharp intake of breath )

( gunshot )

Somebody's drunk.

Careful.

Roll your window

down!

There's a sniper in here!

( gunshot and glass shattering )

( sobbing )

( movie soundtrack playing )

( thunder crashing onscreen )

( film fluttering )

Shooting! Somebody's shooting!

A sniper!

What? I can't hear you.

Will you turn that

thing down, Eva?

What?

There's a sniper here.

( engine starting )

( sharp intake of breath

and gunshot )

Turn those lights off!

( gunshots and screaming )

( child sobbing )

( gunshot and glass shattering )

( engines starting )

( horn honking

and glass shattering )

( horn honking )

Those damn kids again.

Baron von Leppe:

You're not alone.

( engine starting )

( horn honking )

Somebody's shooting

at people in there!

( tires screeching )

Let's get out of here!

( horns honking

and engines running )

Von Leppe:

...With our love.

Well,

They seem to be loving it,

Don't they?

What's going on?

I Don't know.

We can't find the manager.

( car honking )

Hey, C.B.

What's happening?

I Don't know.

Sammy:

Is Mr. Orlok

here yet?

Yes, yes, he's right down

by the screen.

Which side?

On the right.

Okay, thanks.

( horns honking )

( horns honking )

( phones buzzing )

Baron von Leppe:

God knows I have enough

upon my conscience

Without the senseless murder

of a young man

Who never harmed me.

How do you know

what harm he plans?

Want him wandering

around the castle...?

( horns honking )

( engines revving )

( trigger clicks )

( metallic clanging )

( honking and shouting )

( engines revving )

Woman:

A man went crazy!

What's going on?

What's going on?

I Don't know--

people said

There's a sniper

out there someplace.

Go to the booth

and tell Bill to stop the film.

( horns honking )

Baron von Leppe:

You happen to return to...

Let me see

who you really are!

What kind of a woman are you?

Where are you?

Turn out those lights!

Turn those lights off!

Why doesn't Bill...?

Bill's been shot!

He's not moving!

My God, it's true then.

Turn the lights off.

I'm calling the police.

Get Orlok out of there!

My God.

It's me!

Open up!

( horns honking )

Here, I got one.

( footsteps )

That man has a rifle.

( gunshot )

Hold there.

( gunshots )

( sirens wailing in distance )

My, God, Jenny!

( tires screeching )

( sirens blaring )

( trigger clicks )

( horns honking )

Turn this on!

Man:

There he is!

Take care of her.

Mr. Orlok!

( horns honking )

Jenny!

Oh, I'm all right,

Sam, but...

What?

Byron...

Watch it!

There's someone

going up there.

( gunshots )

( trigger clicking )

Officer:

You okay,

Mr. Orlok?

Sammy:

You all right?

Is he clean?

Yeah, he's clean.

Is that what I was afraid of?

Hello.

( sirens blaring )

All right, boy,

let's go.

Hardly ever missed,

did I?

( crowd clamoring )

It's all over now.

Clear back.

Stand back.

Let's go.

Clear out.

It's over now.

Let's go.

( siren blaring )

Byron, wait a minute!

( horns honking,

sirens blaring )
