"23.976" ""Adapted From the Novel By Bram Stoker"" ""Near Bistritz... the road turns towards the heart of the Carpathians... one of the most barren and least known places in Europe."" " Allow me." " Thank you very much." "What was that, Sara?" ""...one of the most barren and least known places in Europe."" "Keep reading." ""Crumbling castles are scattered among the rugged summits." "They belong to a remote era--"" "Coachman, you should go a little slower!" "No!" "No!" "We must get to the inn before nightfall." "Why?" "Today is Walpurgis Nacht, the night of bad omen." "Nosferatu" "The dead come out from their tombs... and suck the blood of the living." "Nonsense!" "You would not laugh if you lived here." "Tonight all doors will be locked." "And we shall pray to the Virgin." "How was the trip?" " Very good, thank you." " Well, I am glad to hear it." "Lad, don't take my luggage down." "I must continue on to the Borgo Pass." "I must warn you that today is the day of St. Walpurga... which is considered a bad omen in this area." "And the coachman, who is a good man... wishes to know whether you wouldn't mind... continuing the journey after sunrise." "I am very sorry, but at midnight... a carriage will be waiting for me at the Borgo Pass." " Whose carriage?" " Count Dracula's." "From Dracula's castle?" "Right." "That is my destination." "Look, he wants to go tonight to the Borgo Pass." "I beg you to stay the night here." "But all of this is mere superstition." "I mean, in a mountainous area like this one... I do not understand how" "Anyway, what I mean to say is that I am not afraid." "I have already told him that it is a business matter." "I must go there, really." "Wait." "Since you want to leave... put this on." "Put it on, for your mother's sake." "It will protect you." " Thanks." " You are very welcome." " Good night." " Good night." "And I wish you a good journey." " Good night." " Good night and good luck." "Giddap!" "Giddap!" "Tell me... do you really believe there are vampires... who come out of their tombs and roam about looking for blood?" " l have seen the victims!" " Nonsense!" "Come, Sara." "Count Dracula's carriage?" "I am Dracula." "You have come at the right time." "I have no idea what happened to the coachman and to my luggage." "With all that, I thought I came to the wrong place." "The walls of my castle are cracked." "The shadows are many." "But come in." "Make yourself at home." "Listen to them." "They are the children of the night." "What beautiful music they make!" "The eternal fight for survival." "Every living creature needs blood to keep on living." "The spider weaves the web to catch the unwary fly." "The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield." "I think you will find this part of the castle more attractive." "I certainly do." "I thought you might be hungry." "You are very kind, Count Dracula." " Sit down." " Thanks." "I trust that nobody knows about this visit." "Absolutely nobody, as you recommended." "I assume you have burnt all our correspondence." "I have followed all your instructions to the letter." "Excellent, Mr. Renfield." "Excellent." "It was nothing." "Just a scratch." "Won't you have some?" "I never drink...wine." "And now, if you are all right... I would like to talk about the lease of Carfax Abbey." "But all the documents are in my briefcase." "I took the liberty of sending for your luggage." "Everything is in order." "You just need to sign it." "I hope there are enough tags for all your bags." "I am only taking three boxes." "We shall leave tomorrow night." "Everything will be ready." "I hope you find it comfortable." "Thanks." "It looks appealing." "Now I shall leave you alone." "I may be occupied tomorrow during the day." "In that case, we shall meet here at dusk." "Good night, Mr. Renfield." "Look!" "Fingers stiffened on the wheel as if they were frozen." "He must have died of fright." "What a terrible tragedy!" "Not even a shred of the sails is left." "It must have been a terrible storm." "What about the sailors?" "What became of them?" "Master!" "Master!" "We have arrived!" "Can't you hear me, Master?" "Master!" " What is that?" " lt's coming from that hatchway." ""Crew Of Corpses On Abandoned Ship"" ""Ferocious storm believed to be the cause"" ""A madman is the only survivor"" ""Maritime authorities will deliver..." ""the shipment to the consignees."" "You will tell Dr. Seward, who is sitting in the next box... that there is a phone call for him." "Once you have given him this message... you will not remember anything." "Dr. Seward, there is a phone call for you." "Excuse me." " Pardon me." " Yes?" "By chance, I heard your name." "Are you the Dr. Seward who has a sanitarium in Whitby?" "That's right." "I am Count Dracula." "I have just rented Carfax Abbey." "I understand it is next to the gardens of your sanitarium." "Correct. lt lies next to my property." "It is a great pleasure to meet you, Count." "Would you like to join us?" "Count, allow me to introduce to you my daughter Eva." "Miss Weston." "Mr. Harker." "Count Dracula has just rented Carfax Abbey." "It will be a joy to see those dark windows lit up again." "Count, I beg you to excuse me, there is a phone call for me." "In the meantime, please be seated." "My pleasure." "A pretty house could be built out of those Carfax ruins." "Of course, a lot of money is needed." "I shall barely touch them." "They remind me of the crumbling walls... of my own castle in Transylvania." "What they remind me of is that old toast:" ""Lofty beams upon deserted walls... beat with the echo of our laughter... as if the dead whispered through them."" "How nice!" "Wait, wait." "There is something even nicer." ""For those who are already dead let us empty our glasses..." ""And let us cheer for the one who must die first."" "You can keep the rest to yourself, Lucía." "To really die... to be really dead... must be sublime." "But, Count..." "Something worse than death... lies in wait for the living." "You can laugh as much as you want." "I find him fascinating." "Lucía, the romantic girl." "That explains it." "That part about the crumbling walls... I still prefer someone a little more normal." " Like Juan?" " Yes, my dear friend, yes." "Like Juan." "Well, Countess, I am very tired." "I leave you with your Count and his crumbling abbey." "May you have sweet dreams." " Good night." " Good night." " The fog is getting thicker." " lt is." "Another death." "When was the last transfusion performed on Miss Weston?" "About four hours before her death." "The same symptoms in each one of the cases." "A baffling loss of blood... that we have been unable to prevent." "Give me the magnifying glass." "And these same two marks were found... on the neck of each of the victims." "Gentlemen... we are dealing with vampires." " With vampires?" " Vampires?" "Nosferatu?" "Yes, the vampire of Transylvania." "That is right." "Nosferatu, the vampire." "The vampire attacks his victim on the neck... and leaves two tiny white wounds... with a red dot in the center." "But, Professor Van Helsing, that theory is implausible." "In these times, medical science does not accept... the existence of such a creature." "That is just a myth." "A superstition." "Dr. Seward's patient, Renfield... whose blood I have just analyzed... is obsessed with the idea that he must eat other living creatures... in order to feed his own life." "I am going to England with Dr. Seward to study Renfield's case." "And perhaps I will prove to you... that the superstition of times gone by... may become a scientific truth in our times." "Look." ""Seward Sanitarium"" "No, don't take it away, Martín!" "Don't take it away!" "You are a good man." "Don't!" "Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" "Now, you are interested in spiders." "Spiders!" "You're no longer content with flies." "Flies?" "Wretched flies." "Tiny flies." "Who can be content with flies?" "You!" "A raving lunatic!" "When beautiful and plump spiders are not available... maybe." "All right, do as you please." "But now, come with me." "The Professor wants to talk to you again." "Let's go!" "It is a very strange case." "Nevertheless, the only thing Renfield has craved so far... are small bugs." "Not human beings." "That is what we think, Doctor." "But you say that he slips away from his room." "That he's gone for hours." "Where does he go?" "Come in!" "Well, Mr. Renfield." "You look much better now than when I arrived this morning." "Thanks, Professor." "I feel much better." "Martín." "I was told that you studied at Oxford University." "That is right. I graduated from the School of Law." "In 1927." "I was accepted by the bar in 1928." "Afterwards..." "Excuse me." "An inferior organism." "Unworthy of my attention." "What would you have done with that fly... had we not been here?" "Eat it up." "Tell me, Mr. Renfield... what makes you eat flies?" "The wings of flies, sir... represent the aerial power of the psychic faculties." "There is more to this fellow than meets the eye, Doctor." "I have never seen you like this before, Eva." "What is wrong with you?" "Are you worried about something?" "Have I done something to hurt you?" "You haven't done anything, Juan." "Don't worry." "But there is something wrong." "Tell me." "I don't know what it could be." "I have been feeling frightened lately." "When the night begins to fall... I get this feeling... that something tightens around me." "Oh, Juan." "Do not touch me with that disgusting device!" "Come on, Renfield." "You must let me out of here." "Why is it so important to you?" "Because I scream at night." "I might bother Miss Eva... and even cause her to have nightmares." "Nightmares?" "Yes, Doctor." "Yes!" "Nightmares." " lt sounds like a wolf howling." " Yes, it sure does." "But I hardly think there are wolves so near London." "He thinks there are." "And I have heard howling at night." "He says that they talk to him." "And he screams back at the top of his voice." "He is crazy." "I should have known." "You know very well why the wolves talk." "Isn't that true, Mr. Renfield?" "And you also know how to make them stop." "You know too much to go on living!" "We won't get another word out of him for the time being." "You can take him away, Martín." "Get up, flycatcher." "I warn you again, Doctor." "If you do not let me go, you will be responsible... for whatever happens to your daughter." "What is that herb that made him so upset?" "It's wolfbane." "The peasants in Central Europe use it to drive vampires away." "And Renfield reacted as soon as he smelled it." "Yes." "He must be closely watched day and night." "Especially at night." "Yes." "You were saying that you had gone to bed." "Yes. I was reading and I fell asleep." "I began to dream." "A dog barked." "And it looked as if the whole room filled up with mist." "It was so thick... that I could hardly see the light by my bedside." "It looked like a tiny spark lost amidst the fog." "I saw two red eyes staring at me... and a livid, white face through the fog." "He came closer and closer." "I could feel his breath on my face." "And his lips..." "Ah!" "Eva, it was just a dream." "The next morning... I felt very weak, as if all the life had been drained out of me." "When did you have that dream, Miss Eva?" "The night... that Father left for Switzerland." "That is to say, the night... after Lucía was buried." "Let's see." "Think for a moment." "Do you remember anything... that might have caused that nightmare?" "Nothing." "There is something troubling Eva, Doctor." "Something she doesn't want to tell us." "And the face that you saw in your dream... you say that it was getting closer and closer?" "That the lips touched you?" "Where?" " Eva." " No, Father." "Please!" " What do you have on your neck?" " Please, Father." "How long have you had those marks on your neck?" "Marks?" "Since the day after that dream." "Count Dracula is here." "It is a pleasure to see you again, Doctor." "I was sure that you were back." "Miss Seward." "Excuse me, Count Dracula." "This is Professor Van Helsing." "Van Helsing, the distinguished man of science... whose fame is known even in the mountains of Transylvania." "Doctor, I beg you to excuse me... but your daughter had better go to her room immediately." "Aren't you feeling well?" "I hope it is nothing serious." "I had a terrible dream a few nights ago... and I have not been able to get it out of my mind." "Perhaps you have taken my stories too seriously?" "Stories?" "I made a humble effort to entertain your fiancée... by telling her a few of the legends-- somewhat gloomy ones-- about my distant motherland." "Daughter, I am sure Count Dracula will excuse you." "It is imperative that you go to your room... as Professor Van Helsing has advised you to do." "But, Father, I tell you I'm feeling fine now." "You had better do as your father says." "Very well, then." "Good night, my dear daughter." "I must go, Doctor." "Professor Van Helsing... I hope I shall have the pleasure of seeing you again." "Good night." "Good night, Juan." "Mr. Harker." "I shall come by later to inquire how you're feeling." "Thanks." " Good night, Miss Seward." " Good night." "I am very sorry that my visit was so... untimely." " Not at all." " On the contrary... it may turn out to be of great importance." "Moreover, before you leave, you could be helpful to us." "It will be a pleasure to do whatever I can." "Just a moment ago, I discovered an amazing phenomenon." "Something so incredible that I do not trust my own eyes... and I want you to help me prove it." "Look." "Dr. Seward, please accept my apologies." "I couldn't help it." "Considering that you have not yet lived... even a single lifetime... you are a wise man, Professor." "Did you see the expression on his face?" "He looked like an enraged beast." "Dracula is our vampire." "Vampire?" "For God's sake, Professor." "Vampires cast no reflection in a mirror." "That is why Dracula shattered that mirror." "Look, Professor, that makes no sense whatsoever." "Dracula is the monster who killed Lucía Weston." "The same one who left those marks on Miss Eva's neck." "Him?" "Well, believe me that I do not wish to offend you... but your words are more like what one of the patients here would say." "Yes!" "And the physicians of this country as well as the police... will believe that very thing." "What gives vampires their power... is that people refuse to believe in them." "But Professor, according to your own theory... the vampire must return to his grave before dawn." "He must return to his native land... which is where he was buried." "Now, Count Dracula's native land is Transylvania." "Then he must have brought the earth with him." "Perhaps in boxes big enough to serve as his bed." "Come on, come on." "Come on, come on." "Renfield, what were you doing out there?" "Come on." "Come with me." "Renfield, did you hear what we were saying?" "Pay attention to what he is telling you." "That is the only salvation you have left." "And the same is true for her." "Save me." "Save my soul." "Save me!" "Save me." "Save me!" "I am weak." "You are strong." "I am crazy." "You are sane." "I shall save you." "But you must tell us everything you know." "Everything." "Fool." "Fool." "And I thought you were a wise man." "What do I stand to gain by telling you everything?" "That physician keeps me locked up here all day." "And when I behave nicely, he gives me a bit of sugar... so that I can catch flies." "But if I serve the Master..." "An intelligent madman would rather serve the one... who can grant him life." "Him?" "Who are you talking about?" "Why mention names among friends, Professor?" "What kind of ties do you have with Dracula?" "Dracula?" "I've never even heard that name before." "You are lying!" "Crazy people, Professor... do not have the faculty to distinguish... between what is true and false." "For that reason, I do not take offense." "I begged you to let me out... but you wouldn't do it." "Now it is too late." "It has already happened." "What has happened?" "I dare not say it." "I dare not." "I would die in torment if I tried to." "And you shall die in torment... if you let innocent blood stain your soul." "No!" "God will not condemn the soul of a poor madman." "He knows very well that the power of evil... is too great for those of us with weak minds... to resist it." "Then, Renfield, trust me." "Tell me what I want to know." "What do you want to know?" "The name of the creature that has deranged your mind." "The one you call "Master."" "No!" "Don't ask me that." "Don't ask me that." "No!" "Don't ask me that!" "No!" "No!" "You must tell us!" " You must tell us!" " Leave me alone!" "Renfield, tell us before it is too late." "Before your soul is damned forever." "I shall tell you." "I shall tell you." "Master!" "Master!" "I was not going to tell them anything!" "I have not told them anything!" "I am faithful to you, Master." "I am faithful." "Dr. Seward!" "Dr. Seward!" "Miss Eva..." "over there...dead." "Thank God, she is still alive." "She is alive, but she is at great risk." "She is under his influence." "That would be terrible." "I cannot believe it." "Nevertheless, it's true." "We must put an end to it." "We must confront it." "is Dr. Seward around?" "No." "What do you need?" "That flycatcher has escaped again... and he's capable of any foolishness." "Dr. Seward and his famous scholar are in the abbey... chasing vampires." "Vampires." "Flycatchers." "Look, Mr. Harker... if there is a brave man after my job, he can have it." "I am going to look for work at another asylum... where the crazy people are nice and reasonable." "Let them think they are Napoleon or kings." "Something worthy of my time." ""The mysterious lady in white... that merciless scourge of childhood... once again played one of her tricks last night... a little after nightfall." "The testimony given by two girls" "Both confirm that it is a beautiful lady... dressed in white... whose modus operandi is to offer... candy to her victim." "She then lures the victim to a deserted corner... where she delicately bites the victim's neck."" "What does she know about the lady in white?" "Why would she know anything about it?" " She should not have read that." " For God's sake, Mr. Harker!" "And when did you see Lucía again after she was buried?" "Once when I was on the terrace." "She came out of the shadows." "She came towards me." "She stopped and stared at me." "I began to speak to her." "And then... I remembered... that she was dead." "Her face took on a horrible expression." "Like that of a hungry beast." "As if she were a wolf." "She turned... and disappeared into the fog again." "So the lady dressed in white was...?" "Lucía." "Miss, I promise you that from this day on..." "Lucía will rest in peace." "Her soul will be forever freed... of that awful appetite." "Since you can save Lucía's soul after her death... promise me that you will save mine, too." "But you're not going to die, my love." "You're going to go on living." "No, no, Juan, you must not touch me." "And you must not kiss me." "Never, ever." "What are you saying?" "Professor, explain it to him." "Tell him." "I can't!" "Eva." "Juan, it's over between the two of us." "Our love, our wedding plans." "Please, Juan, don't look at me like that." "I love you. I love you more than anything else." "But this terrible thing." "He wants it to be this way... and I must obey." "Do you know what you are doing?" "You are driving her crazy." "Mr. Harker, you should be worried about what's out there." "The last rays of the sun are gone." "Night hovers over us again." "We have already put wolfbane in this room and in your bedroom... to free you from Dracula, in case he comes back." "She's going to be free of him... because either she returns with me to London or I call the police." "Seward, my friend, I must be in charge here... or whatever I do will be useless." "Miss Eva must keep this branch of wolfbane with her in her bed." "Be careful that she doesn't drop it while she sleeps." "Under no circumstances must those windows be opened during the night." "I understand, Professor." "Come, my daughter." "Come on." "Yes, Master." "You have come back, Master." "Are you angry with me?" "No!" "No, Master!" "Please!" "Not her!" "Never again!" "No, Master!" "No!" "Not her!" "No!" "Please!" "No, Master!" "No, please!" "Mr. Harker..." "Though I have devoted my life to the study of the strangest things... little known facts which the world is perhaps better off not knowing." "I also accept everyday things." "Dracula's name is associated with a legend... that is still told among his fellow countrymen." "The legend tells of an ancient family... that disappeared over five centuries ago... and was said to be made up of vampires." "Since I discovered, by chance... that Dracula cast no reflection in the mirror, and that in addition... three large boxes had been sent to Carfax Abbey... and since I also knew that a vampire must sleep during the day... in his native earth... I understood at once that Dracula had to be the person... whom Renfield calls "Master."" "One of the undead who has been able... to prolong his life beyond its natural limits... by feeding on the blood of other living creatures." "The only way we can save Eva... is by finding the place... where the living corpse of the vampire rests... and driving a stake through its heart." "What a strange conversation for men who are not crazy." "Renfield, you will force me to put you in a straitjacket." "I am afraid that it will be useless at this point." "What?" "What are you saying, Doctor?" "Again?" "I'm on my way, sir." "Right away, Doctor." "The doctor's favorite lunatic is at large again." "My goodness!" "This barbarian must be Hercules himself." " What has he done now?" " Come and see for yourself." "From now on... any mental suggestion that you receive from me... must be carried out." "Whenever I want you to do something... it has to be done." "It has to be done." "When you come out of this state... you will remember nothing of what I am telling you now." "Do you understand?" "I understand." "I have already told you what you must do." "Now... obey." "Renfield, you know where those boxes are." "Tell us and we shall protect you." "But I no longer need your protection." "The Master is not angry with me." "On the contrary, he is pleased." "He came to my window... in the moonlight and promised me things." "Not to say them." "To do them." " To do them?" " Yes!" "To make them happen." "A red mist spread over the lawn... and came towards me like a raging fire." "Then the Master parted the mist... and revealed before my eyes thousands of rats... their eyes inflamed like his own, but smaller." "He raised his hand and they all stopped." "I felt he was telling me:" "Rats!" "Rats!" "Rats!" "Thousands, millions of rats!" "And in each one of them, a life... full of red blood... promising many years of life." "I shall give you all those beings!" "Yes!" "And many more!" "For countless generations!" "But you have to obey." "What did he want you to do?" "What has already been done." "Dracula is in this house." "Where else did you expect him to be?" "He will not be able to cause any harm." "We've placed wolfbane in the rooms." "So here you are!" "For God's sake!" "This man is going to drive me crazy." "He twisted and broke the iron bars... as if they were toothpicks." "Come with me, Martín." "Let me show you a place from which he will not escape again." "Let's go." "You may be right, but I still say what St. Thomas said." "Van Helsing." "And now that you've learned what you've learned... it would be wise to return to your country." "I intend to stay and protect those... you would like to destroy." "You're too late." "Dracula's blood is already flowing in Miss Seward's veins." "She will live for all eternity... as I myself have." "Should you escape, Dracula... we know how to save Miss Eva's soul... if not her life." "Of course I'm all right." "I have never felt better... in my whole life." "Tell me... why are you staring at me like that?" "You're so-- l can hardly believe it." "You look like a different woman." "Darling, you look terrific." "And I feel terrific." "But it is stuffy in here." "And this smell." "It is the wreath of flowers the professor wanted me to" "Marta!" "Yes, Miss?" "Throw away that awful wreath of flowers, will you, Marta?" "And please open the windows and let some fresh air in." "But, Miss, the Professor will not approve of that." "Do not worry about him." "It's much nicer out here." "I am glad to see you like this." "I was really worried about you." "I don't know... what was wrong with me." "It's as if... I'm waking from a nightmare." "Juan, the moonlight is beautiful, isn't it?" "Look." "Have you ever seen so many stars?" "Millions and millions." "And they seem to be so close... as if you could reach out and touch them." "Would you like me to offer you a handful of them?" "Do not forget, Van Helsing, that over the years... those who crossed my path... paid for it with their lives... and some of them in very unpleasant ways." "Come... here!" "Stop!" "You shall not move your hand unless I want you to." "Take out whatever you have in there and put it in this box." "Hurry up." " Have you obeyed me?" " Yes, I have." " Yes, you told me." " No, I didn't." "What do you mean?" "I could have never told you such a foolish thing." "You made it up." "No, you told me that the night frightened you." "And what is there about the night to frighten me?" "I love the night." "It's the only time when I feel I'm really alive." "Be careful, a bat!" "It may get tangled in your hair." "Yes, I will." "I will!" " You'll what?" " Me?" "I didn't say anything." "I thought you did." "God, that bat is huge." "Juan... I want you to promise me something." "Whatever you want, my love." "Whatever you ask." "That strange professor and his herbs... I can't stand them any longer." "Will you do me a favor and take them away from him?" "And the crucifix." "Take it away from him, too." "He's say he wants to protect me again." "From the night, from Count Dracula." "From whatever." "I don't know what to believe." "But he might be right." "He told me some terrible things about that Count Dracula." "What is it?" "What's wrong with you?" "Why?" "Your eyes." "They look at me in such a strange way." "Don't!" "Eva!" "Eva, my daughter!" "It's all right, Eva." "My love." "The cross." "Juan!" "After what's happened, I can't look at it." "But... what's happened?" "I cannot tell you!" "I cannot!" "You must tell me." "I have a right to know." "Dracula." "He came." "He opened a vein in his arm... and he forced me... to drink." "What is it?" "Who is it, Martín?" "A bat, Professor." "Very big and very black." "Don't waste your pellets." "It is useless." "You'll never harm that bat." "What can we do?" "He is crazy." "They are all crazy." "All of them, except me and you." "And sometimes I even have my doubts about you." "It was a good deed... to drive a stake through the heart of that poor girl." "Now her soul will rest in peace." "Let us go to the abbey." "Look!" "An opening in the wall." "Master!" "Master, here I am!" "Here I am!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "He entered through here." "I didn't bring them here, Master!" "I swear!" "I didn't know!" "Master!" "Master!" "Wait!" "Master!" "Master!" "I have always been faithful!" "I am your slave." "I did not betray you!" "Don't kill me, Master!" "Punish me!" "Torture me!" "But let me live!" "I cannot go before God... with so many deaths on my conscience... and so much blood on my hands!" "He came in through here!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Use this crowbar, Harker!" "I've got it." "Eva, we're here!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Harker!" "Harker!" "I found them." "Look." "His life as a vampire... is coming to its end." "What about Eva?" "You must be brave." "Find me a stone." "Anything... I can use to drive the stake... through his heart." "What about Eva?" "is she--?" "She is not here." "Then she is still alive!" "Where are you?" "Eva!" "Eva!" "Where are you?" "Eva!" "Eva!" "You're safe, Eva!" "You're safe." "Oh, Juan!" "You should have seen the horrible look on his face... when he saw the sunlight." "There is nothing to fear now." "Dracula is dead forever." "Aren't you coming?" "I'm staying behind." "I shall make good on my promise to Renfield." "The End" "Translation and Subtitles by Captions, lnc." "Los Angeles"
