The Return of Count Yorga Page #3

---

walking about today.

Oh, yes, it was lovely.

You really shouldn't, you know?

Rest is necessary.

But I-I feel marvelous,

thanks to you.

In fact, I was thinking

about going home tonight.

- Oh?

- Yes, I...

I wanted to call

my mother and father,

but I couldn't find a phone.

Good night, Cynthia.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. I really have

enjoyed working for you tonight.

And now I would like to

introduce our next performer

who I know you're going to dig

a lot, Miss Theresa Jordon.

Oh, there are things

about this world

We cannot see or comprehend

Yet they are there

Yes they are there

Think it over, think it over

And then think it over

Once again

Far beyond the mist

Where life is lived

What's the matter, Joe?

Nothing.

I don't like the way you look.

- Let's get you to bed.

- I'll be all right.

- What the hell's that now?

- A fuse?

No, probably a loose wire.

- I can manage, Joe.

- You sure?

No!

No! No!

No! No!

Cynthia!

Hello?

Cynthia!

Ellen?

Is that you?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who's there?

Cynthia!

Cynthia!

Stop it!

Cynthia!

Stop it! Please.

Cynthia.

Cynthia! Cynthia!

Cynthia! Cynthia!

Cynthia! Cynthia! Cynthia!

Cynthia! Cynthia! Cynthia!

Cynthia! Cynthia! Cynthia!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Please.

Help! Help me!

Help. Please!

Oh, no.

Now, Tommy,

for the last time,

what were you doing

at Count Yorga's house?

I told you, Reverend Thomas,

I wasn't there.

I've never been there.

Why would Jennifer say you were

if you weren't?

I don't know.

I just went for a walk

like I always do.

Honest.

Why would I lie?

- Why would Jennifer lie?

- I don't know, sir.

But I sure wish she'd stop

accusing me of things.

I like her and all that, but...

Jennifer, are you sure, dear?

Jennifer.

Are you all right, Tommy?

Yes, sir. It only hurt

a little bit.

Jennifer, I'm sorry,

but I have to ask you this.

Do you think you might've

imagined these things?

Could it have been a dream?

She says, "Your Ellen is dead.

They are all dead."

Sure wish

she wouldn't talk like that.

Those are terrible things

to say.

Tommy, you better go to bed now.

It's very late.

Yes, sir. Good night.

Good night, Jenny,

and no hard feelings.

Tommy.

Do you know what a vampire is?

No, sir.

What was that for?

David thinks Yorga might be

a vampire.

What?

I'm going to see

Lieutenant Madden.

I'll come with you.

- That's preposterous.

- No, you stay here.

Reverend, can Jason

sleep here tonight?

I'd like him to hang around

and keep watch, just in case.

Yes, of course.

- Okay?

- But vampire?

Keep this with you.

- Oh, come...

- Please!

A vampire?

Oh.

- How well did you know him?

- A little.

Madden, I've got to talk to you.

Sure, go ahead.

I want to take a blood sample.

I can't do that.

What do you want it for?

- I want to check for something.

- For what?

Human saliva.

What?

Chief.

You know, there's definitely

signs of a female

having been around the boat.

How informative.

Show me a boat that doesn't have

signs of a female.

What are you looking to prove?

You wouldn't believe me.

Look, Baldwin,

I'm just as bugged with

Jennifer's story as you are.

And I'm willing to

break a few rules,

but give me a decent reason.

And it better be a good one

or forget it.

What?

Vampires?

What the hell are you doing?

I'm on a homicide and you're

playing games with me.

I'm not playing games.

Lieutenant, I know

I can't hack it up.

Oh, really? I wonder why.

Look, just give me

the blood sample

and I'll leave you alone.

No. Vampires.

Well, what do you think

killed him?

Don't tell me, does it fly?

You saw his neck,

you saw his face.

He could be your twin brother,

you wouldn't recognize him.

I know it's only-

I'm sorry, Baldwin,

I got to say no.

Okay.

All right, let's keep it moving.

Get out!

Tommy, what are you doing up?

You won't get mad if I tell you

something, will you?

What?

- Promise?

- I promise.

I did go to Count Yorga's

like Jennifer said.

Well, why didn't you

tell us that before?

I don't know.

Ellen's there.

- Ellen?

- Mm-hm.

Want me to take you there?

No! No!

The boy.

Ready.

Tommy.

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy!

Hello, Jason darling.

Ellen. My God!

What's happened?

Have you missed your Ellen?

Ellen?

You're frightened.

You don't love

your Ellen any more.

Ellen.

Ellen.

Ellen.

Please!

Ellen, stop it!

Stop it!

Come in, Cynthia.

Why do you hold me here?

I've recovered my strength.

Why do you keep me?

Cynthia, I have survived

many, many years.

Count Yorga.

New you appear.

The most fragile emotion

ever known has entered my life.

The one I must fear the most.

It will surely threaten

my ability to survive.

You, Cynthia,

have brought to my life

a gentle pain

which I can only define as love.

Can you love me?

Please.

Please.

I could destroy you.

Or turn you

into the living dead.

Or let you go.

Let me go.

Relax.

Relax completely.

Relax.

You take this?

Yes, sir.

So?

Count Yorga was in that picture.

Who's Count Yorga?

The man I suspect

of being a vampire.

You still on that kick?

What do you mean, he was in it?

He was in the middle

of that group

when that picture was taken.

Where is he now?

That's just it.

We don't know.

Maybe flew away.

He was there when I took it.

And when I developed it,

he wasn't.

You always develop pictures?

Yes.

He was standing right there.

He raised his arm over his head,

as though he didn't want me

to take it.

And everybody looked at him,

as they're doing there.

Now, will you believe me?

Okay. We'll take it to the lab

and check it out.

Damn it, Madden,

what's to check out?

There's no time.

Let's go to Yorga's

and at least talk to him.

David, surely

you can't believe...

That picture proves something.

I don't believe in vampires

either, but it's possible.

It is possible, isn't it?

I mean, nobody

has proven otherwise, have they?

Boys.

Yes, Reverend?

Boys, have either of you

seen Jennifer?

- No, sir.

- Not me, sir.

All right, you can go.

We were idiots to have

waited so long.

Jennifer, God bless her.

She did all she could

to warn us.

Just hope we're not too late

for the others.

Take it easy.

We're not even sure

they're there.

They're there.

And when we talk to this

Yorga guy, no accusations.

What are you saying?

We can't let him know

we're there.

If he should be a vampire...

Get off that kick, will you?

Madden, please,

even if you don't go along

with my hunch,

at least give it a try.

We can't let him know

we're there. He'll beat us.

You're asking me

to enter illegally?

Yes.

At a time like this

even Jesus Christ

would fabricate his intentions.

Lieutenant, please, let's do it

my way. Why take chances?

And what's your way?

Let Reverend Thomas

go to the front door

and work his way in.

Do something

to keep the Count occupied.

Talk about fund-raising

or some damn thing.

I don't know.

Anything to distract him.

While we find another way in
