Victor Frankenstein Page #6

You are on a medical

and mental reprieve.

You had no warrant, Roderick.

Do you have any idea

the lengths I have been to...

...in order to protect you

from criminal charges?

It was a necessary action. Really?

In pursuit of what?

High society hunchbacks?

Undead monsters?

Conspiracies involving

one of the richest families

in England?

Yes, a conspiracy

to create life in...

...a direct, defiant action

against God.

You were the best detective

Scotland Yard had,

but now it's time

for you to rest.

You must heal.

And when you return,

you will see things

how they really are.

Is that precious?

I took possession of this

when I was... ten.

It was a very cold winter

that year.

We lived in the country then.

It was a happy time.

We crept out of

my bedroom window

because we wanted to

play in the snow...

...and so we did.

Until we were...

...engulfed by a blizzard.

I almost died.

Anyway, when...

When the snow cleared...

...and dawn finally broke...

...I was alive.

I looked into my hand

and I was holding this.

It serves to remind me.

Remind you of what?

That God...

...if at all He does exist...

...sent us

into this world imperfect.

We're weak.

We're fragile.

And we're destined to die.

This reminds me that

that is not good enough.

Who were you with?

Hmm?

You said "we".

In the blizzard.

Did I?

Where in God's name

do you think you're going?

You haven't been

out of bed in weeks!

You can barely walk!

Igor. Igor, don't go.

Don't do this.

I have to go. He needs me.

You owe him nothing.

You're your own man.

No.

I'm the man he made me.

You're wrong.

You've always been

this person.

This brave,

brilliant, beautiful person.

He gave me a life.

I'm sorry, Lorelei, but...

...you must understand,

I have to go.

He's my friend.

Then you will not go alone.

Two hearts.

Pump all that blood

around the larger body.

A larger chest cavity

to incorporate four lungs.

Two sets on the left

and the right.

You and I, Igor...

we shall create a man...

...after our own image.

An intelligent...

...civilized...

...man.

Stop!

- Stop here!

- Whoa!

Finnegan's men.

Wait here.

Please take care.

What are you doing?

Go.

Hello?

Sorry, we seem to be lost.

Thank you!

What's this?

Hold her here.

I'm going to the castle.

Sir, there is a storm coming.

That man is in allegiance with

Satan... and must be stopped!

All stations ready!

Engineers! Scientists!

Eyes to me!

The storm is nigh!

The storm is nigh!

Conditions are perfect!

Electrical station

ready, sir!

Prometheus moving,

station one!

Stoke the furnace!

We need it hotter!

Mind the blood pipe!

Prepare the blood!

Fluid station now!

Now. Set?

Inserting.

In. Tapped.

Respiratory station!

Prepare

the respiratory station!

Victor.

Igor?

I'm so glad you've come.

Victor, Finnegan tried to

have me killed.

I believe he intends to

kill you, too,

when you've given him

what he wants.

We can still get out of this,

but you must stop

this experiment.

Father sent you, didn't he?

Don't be ridiculous!

He'll stop at nothing,

and you don't know

what he's capable of!

I don't care.

What?

Finnegan's motives

mean nothing to me.

I will turn the tide of human

existence here, tonight.

Then this world

which has spurned me...

...will forever

remember my name!

No, if you do what he asks,

no one will remember

Frankenstein the man.

Only the monster!

I forgive you, Igor.

I forgive you this remarkable

lack of foresight.

So stay here!

Your brother was with you!

Henry Frankenstein.

He was with you that night.

Was he older

or younger than you?

He was older.

You must have

looked up to him.

Where did you get that?

I wouldn't be surprised

if it was your idea, though.

Was it?

To go out into the snow.

And he protected you.

And he died while you lived.

Isn't that what

all this is about, Victor?

You want to stop

other people...

...from having to endure

that pain that you felt.

No.

No?

No.

It's about so much

more than that.

Don't you see? To my mind...

I took my brother's life

that night.

I have to redress the balance.

I have to create life now.

Victor, none of this

does that.

This only brings

more and more and more pain.

And whatever path this is

that you've gone down,

this is not you.

You're a good man, Victor.

- Igor...

- Frankenstein!

Frankenstein! Hurry, man!

The storm is almost upon us!

Victor...

...don't.

Victor!

Station one ready!

Prometheus moving!

Electrical station!

Electrical station

ready, sir!

Who'd have thought it, eh?

You and I on the threshold

of immortality.

Prometheus moving!

Lazarus station!

Damn them all, eh?

The naysayers... and

the hypocrites.

For tonight, Victor,

we breathe life...

...into flesh!

Balloons released!

Lazarus Fork.

I will give you life.

I will give you...

...life!

Prometheus ascending!

Station ready, sir!

I want full power,

on my mark.

Now!

Converter B standing by.

Full power... now!

All positions, relays open!

This is your moment, Victor!

Victor!

It's too much power!

You know this story.

The crack of lightning.

A mad genius.

An unholy creation.

Victor...

...don't!

Live!

Well, Victor.

Sir, I must warn you...

...we are overloading!

No!

No!

Frankenstein!

You will burn

for what you do here.

This isn't science.

This is the work

of Satan himself.

There's no Satan.

No God. Only humanity.

Only me!

May God forgive you,

Frankenstein!

May God forgive you!

Out of the way, Victor!

Out of the way!

Come to me.

I am your brother.

Oh, my brother Henry,

forgive me.

I have wronged you.

For this is not life.

This is not life!

You are not life!

Live!

Victor!

Out of the way, Frankenstein!

Live! Live! Live!

May God drive out

this devil...

...and be driven back

to the pits of hell

from whence he came.

No!

Igor, I'm sorry.

What are we going to do?

What are we going to do now?

We will do the only thing

we can do.

Huh?

Sh*t.

No!

Igor!

Victor...

...get off.

Igor!

Two hearts!

No!

Oh, my brother, forgive me!

Victor?

Dearest Igor:

I would have

waited for you, but...

...three's a crowd

and all that.

Besides, I think

you've probably had enough

of my work.

Truth be told, you've probably

had enough of me.

Our time together is done.

Our achievements

are in the past...

...and our discoveries

will probably never be known.

But I will always

think of you fondly,

and always as my friend.

As for myself...

...I have some ideas

about where we went wrong

this time...

...and one day I may

call on you once more.

Be ready.

For now,

your life is your own...

...and I wish you

luck with it.

You are and will remain

my greatest creation.

Your friend...
