Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Dearest Mina, forgive the brevity of this note, but I am desperately short of time.
00:00:29Since my arrival here in Transylvania, nothing has been as I expected.
00:00:35Every door is locked and bolted.
00:00:39I therefore must conclude that I am prisoner here at Castle Dracula.
00:00:47The Count himself offers no solace.
00:00:50I was led to believe he lived here alone, but there are others.
00:01:00I am concealing this letter in a package of documents concerning the Count's property purchase,
00:01:05which is to be mailed to the firm's offices in London.
00:01:08I can only pray that some kind soul send it on to you.
00:01:12Yours always, Jonathan.
00:02:13My dearest Lucy, forgive this letter not being in my own hand,
00:02:18but I am attempting to get to grips with the typing machine that Jonathan purchased recently,
00:02:22so that I might help him keep his journals.
00:02:25In future, I plan to keep my own journal in the same way.
00:02:29I do not suppose it will be of much interest to other people,
00:02:32but I may show it to Jonathan someday if there's anything worth sharing.
00:02:36Speaking of Jonathan, I've received nothing from him since he departed for Transylvania,
00:02:41but I expect he's busy.
00:02:44It must be so nice to see strange countries.
00:02:48London can sometimes feel so stifling.
00:02:57Ah, Emily. There you are.
00:02:59There's someone at the door, ma'am.
00:03:01At this hour?
00:03:03He said it was urgent.
00:03:06I apologise for the letter having been opened, Mrs Harker.
00:03:10A young colleague received your husband's package
00:03:13and failed to notice that this particular item was addressed to you.
00:03:18It says here he's being held prisoner.
00:03:20Yes, that is rather concerning, I must say.
00:03:23So, what are you going to do about it?
00:03:26Mrs Harker, the firm is not legally obliged
00:03:30to provide assistance in a situation such as this.
00:03:35Legally obliged?
00:03:38As you can see, under the terms of Mr Harker's employment with the firm,
00:03:44any and all overseas travel is undertaken entirely at the individual employee's own risk.
00:03:51How could you make him sign something like this and then send him to Transylvania?
00:03:55Well, we are a firm of lawyers, after all.
00:03:59If they won't help Jonathan, I'll just have to do it myself.
00:04:02Do what, ma'am?
00:04:03Go to Transylvania.
00:04:05Where is Transylvania exactly?
00:04:10That's a good question.
00:04:13Here it is.
00:04:15What's that?
00:04:16It's Jonathan's travel itinerary.
00:04:18He had me type it up before he left, but I still kept the original handwritten copy.
00:04:22Are you sure about this, ma'am?
00:04:24I have no more discussion on the matter, Emily.
00:04:26I intend on travelling to Transylvania first thing in the morning.
00:04:31Let's see.
00:04:35Take the morning train from London to Dover,
00:04:38followed by a small steamship to the port of Calais.
00:04:43Once in France, take the Orient Express to Romania via Munich and Vienna,
00:04:48crossing the border into Transylvania by carriage.
00:04:53Once in the countryside, local drivers will be familiar with the location of Castle Dracula
00:04:58and can deliver you directly to the door.
00:05:36Good lord.
00:05:38Where on earth did you get that?
00:05:40It belonged to my husband's father.
00:05:42And his father before him, I should think.
00:05:44It's an antique.
00:05:46It still works, I assure you.
00:05:48You're English?
00:05:50Yes.
00:05:52I travelled here overnight from London to Dover.
00:05:54I'm not from here.
00:05:56You're not from here?
00:05:58No, I'm not.
00:06:00You're English?
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:04I travelled here overnight from London.
00:06:06Alone?
00:06:08Yes.
00:06:10I've been away from London for three years,
00:06:14so perhaps things have changed,
00:06:16but I didn't think it was customary
00:06:20for English ladies to greet a gentleman by pointing a pistol at him.
00:06:25Sorry, I only thought to keep myself safe from the wolves.
00:06:29Transylvania has the largest population of wolves in the world,
00:06:34and you'll need a good deal more than that pistol to keep yourself safe here.
00:06:38What do you mean?
00:06:41Do you know quite where you are, madam?
00:06:44Of course I do.
00:06:46The only thing I'm not sure on is to whom I'm speaking.
00:06:49But of course.
00:06:51My name is Van Helsing.
00:06:53Professor Van Helsing.
00:06:55Mina Harker.
00:06:57Mrs.
00:06:59Mrs. Harker.
00:07:01You say you travelled here from London without your husband?
00:07:05I'm just as capable of finding my way here as any man.
00:07:08And besides, I had no alternative.
00:07:10My husband was already here.
00:07:12Here?
00:07:14You mean here at Castle Dracula?
00:07:18Yes.
00:07:20Inside the castle?
00:07:22Yes, and I intend to join him and find out exactly what's going on.
00:07:25There'll be no answer at this hour.
00:07:28You could try during the hours of darkness, but I would strongly advise against it.
00:07:35There's a small inn just a mile back down the mountain
00:07:39where I have managed to arrange accommodation for a few nights.
00:07:43You'd be much safer there.
00:07:46I thank you for your advice, Professor, but I really do think...
00:07:57I really do think that securing accommodation might be the most sensible option.
00:08:04It's this way.
00:08:10Mrs. Harker, your suitcase.
00:08:13Yes, it is. Thank you.
00:08:44What time is it?
00:08:46It's ten, six o'clock.
00:08:49No church bells.
00:08:53We've not seen a single soul since we came here.
00:08:56Is this entire village abandoned?
00:08:59On the contrary.
00:09:01Behind every shuttered window and locked door,
00:09:04there's a family trying to get by.
00:09:08Why don't they come out?
00:09:13It's almost dusk. Come along, Mrs. Harker.
00:09:16The inn is this way.
00:09:25Two beer.
00:09:30I've spoken to the innkeeper.
00:09:34I've spoken to the innkeeper.
00:09:38And there is a room available for you upstairs, if you wish.
00:09:42You seem very well informed, Professor.
00:09:45How long have you been in Transylvania?
00:09:48Just a few days.
00:09:50Do you have some sort of business with Castle Dracula?
00:09:53Business?
00:09:55Yes.
00:09:57Unfinished business.
00:10:01I've been...
00:10:04pursuing Count Dracula these past three years.
00:10:09He led me a merry dance,
00:10:12right across Europe and into the Orient,
00:10:14where I followed him,
00:10:16down the length of the Yangtze River
00:10:19to the city of Shanghai,
00:10:21where I put a stop to his nefarious activities.
00:10:28From there, he boarded a boat to Persia,
00:10:31where I forced him into a retreat.
00:10:34Overland, via Russia,
00:10:37back to his ancestral home,
00:10:40that crumbling castle you saw today.
00:10:44And you're quite sure he's here now?
00:10:46Oh, yes.
00:10:48Just a few days ago, a young girl from the village
00:10:51disappeared on her way home at night.
00:10:55No doubt spirited away to Castle Dracula,
00:11:00but Lord only knows what purpose.
00:11:10Then my suspicions were correct.
00:11:13The Count.
00:11:15He's a villain of some sort.
00:11:18A villain?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:23Most assuredly, he is that.
00:11:27What has Jonathan got himself mixed up in?
00:11:31You said he'd managed to gain entry to the castle.
00:11:35My husband is a solicitor.
00:11:37Apparently, the Count was in the process
00:11:39of buying some property in London.
00:11:42London?
00:11:46So that's his plan.
00:11:48My dear Mrs. Harker, he must be stopped.
00:11:52What do you mean?
00:11:54Per square mile, London is the most popular city in the world.
00:11:58If Count Dracula were allowed to prosper there,
00:12:02God knows what havoc he would create
00:12:04if his evil were to be let loose.
00:12:07What evil?
00:12:09Who exactly is this Count Dracula?
00:12:18Let us speak privately, Mrs. Harker.
00:12:21Upstairs?
00:12:23The people here are a superstitious and fearful kind.
00:12:29Not only that,
00:12:31there may be some whose allegiance lies with the Count.
00:12:52Oh!
00:13:15There is a room similar to this one
00:13:17directly across the corridor, Mrs. Harker.
00:13:20Given the liberty of placing your suitcase there.
00:13:23Now, please take a seat, my dear.
00:13:26I'd like to show you something.
00:13:40What's this?
00:13:43I fear, Mrs. Harker,
00:13:45that if I were to tell you everything I know of Count Dracula,
00:13:49you would simply not believe me.
00:13:52I therefore suggest you preface our discussion
00:13:55by looking at Chapter 7 of this publication.
00:14:04Pseudomonarchia daemonium.
00:14:08What does that mean?
00:14:10Well, it's Latin.
00:14:13Surely you have a basic competency in Latin.
00:14:16No, I'm afraid not.
00:14:18Good Lord!
00:14:20What do they teach young ladies in school these days?
00:14:23Needlework and the pianoforte, mainly.
00:14:27It means the false monarchy of demons.
00:14:31Demons?
00:14:34This book is over a hundred years old.
00:14:38It lists 69 known types of demons,
00:14:43devils and creatures of the occult.
00:14:48There.
00:14:50Chapter 7.
00:14:52What's that?
00:14:54The Lamia was a being known to the ancient Greeks.
00:14:58Part woman, part beast.
00:15:01She fed on the blood of innocents
00:15:03after satisfying her earthly desires with them.
00:15:08Earthly desires?
00:15:10Do I need to speak more plainly, Mrs. Harker?
00:15:13No, please don't.
00:15:15It's probably the stuff of myths and legends, surely.
00:15:18It can't exist today.
00:15:20I wish that were true.
00:15:24So, what does this have to do with the Count?
00:15:27The Count is old, Mrs. Harker.
00:15:31Older than me.
00:15:33Older even than this book.
00:15:37That's not possible.
00:15:39When he was a young man,
00:15:41the killer encountered a creature such as this.
00:15:45Entranced by her beauty, he fell in love.
00:15:48And the Lamia, once satisfied,
00:15:52pierced his flesh with her teeth and drank his blood.
00:15:57For a normal man, this would have meant instant death.
00:16:01But such was the passion of the young Count
00:16:04that on the brink of death,
00:16:06he willingly drank the blood of the Lamia in return.
00:16:11He did not die.
00:16:13And in fact, he will never die.
00:16:17He remains to this day in a perpetual state known as undead.
00:16:23He is, Mrs. Harker,
00:16:27a vampire.
00:16:37Who is Mina, Jonathan?
00:16:44Mina.
00:16:46You were saying her name.
00:16:50My wife.
00:16:52I must get home to her.
00:16:55No, you don't need her, Jonathan.
00:17:00All you need is us
00:17:05and our master forever.
00:17:15How do you know all this?
00:17:17This is my journal of the last three years.
00:17:21Everything I've learnt from every encounter with Dracula.
00:17:28What's this?
00:17:30Oh, nothing.
00:17:32There was a small village I passed through between here and Bucharest.
00:17:37I asked the villagers about vampires
00:17:40and the only thing they wanted to speak about was this.
00:17:44Some local legend of men turning into wolves during the full moon.
00:17:50I simply made a drawing of what was described to me.
00:17:54Do you believe in it?
00:17:56Experience has taught me to keep an open mind about such things.
00:18:00Three years ago, I never would have believed such a being as Dracula could exist.
00:18:05But now, there is no doubt.
00:18:12Where are you going?
00:18:13To find my husband.
00:18:15If this horror is real, then there isn't a moment to spare.
00:18:19You would march up to Dracula's castle in the midst of a storm, alone?
00:18:25My dear Mrs. Harker, you haven't even a chance of gaining entry to the place.
00:18:30And if by some chance you did, I'm quite certain you would never make it out alive.
00:18:35Now is not the time for incautious, impulsive action.
00:18:41I told you, I have pursued Dracula for three years.
00:18:44And each time I came this close to him, he eluded me.
00:18:48Leaving a trail of death and misery in his wake.
00:18:56I have so much to learn.
00:18:59To learn?
00:19:02Well, if I'm to help you.
00:19:04My dear Mrs. Harker, this is not your battle, nor a battle for any young woman to undertake.
00:19:10I have my father-in-law's pistol.
00:19:12Useless against a creature such as Dracula.
00:19:15Well, then what would you have me do?
00:19:17Go home, Mrs. Harker.
00:19:20Go back to your needlework and your pianoforte.
00:19:24Leave this business to a professional man.
00:19:27Maria.
00:19:55How dare you touch him.
00:20:01Any of you.
00:20:03How dare any of you cast your eyes on him when I have forbidden it.
00:20:09But, Master.
00:20:11Do not test me further, Maria.
00:20:15Take him downstairs.
00:20:17There must be no trace of him in this room.
00:20:47This afternoon, I encountered a most fascinating young woman.
00:21:10Mrs. Mina Harker.
00:21:13Fascinating not least because her husband, one Jonathan Harker,
00:21:17is at this very moment a guest, or prisoner, of the Count.
00:21:23I found Mrs. Harker to be somewhat impressive in her accomplishments,
00:21:27having made her way alone to the very foot of Castle Dracula in a matter of days,
00:21:32a journey that has taken me these past three years.
00:21:37However, I fear her youthful impetuousness, however endearing,
00:21:41will carry her only so far.
00:21:44She is wholly unprepared for what awaits her within the castle walls.
00:21:56Mrs. Harker.
00:21:57Oh, I do apologize for the intrusion.
00:22:01Just say whatever it is you've come to say, Professor.
00:22:04Well, you left your overcoat behind,
00:22:07and I accidentally stumbled upon this letter from your husband in one of the pockets.
00:22:14Give me that.
00:22:15Yes, of course.
00:22:21Is that all?
00:22:23I'm afraid I couldn't help but take in the contents of the letter.
00:22:30Your husband speaks of three others besides the Count?
00:22:35Yes.
00:22:36Mr. Harker's language is deliberately oblique,
00:22:40but I believe these others to be, well, women.
00:22:49Women?
00:22:50As we discussed, Dracula is a creature of evil, of the night,
00:22:58but he is also a man, with a man's weakness for beauty.
00:23:06For as long as I have pursued him, the Count has kept by his side one or more women,
00:23:14his brides, whom he compels to serve him.
00:23:19Compels them how?
00:23:22Do not underestimate his lure, his pure animal magnetism.
00:23:29Let him under your skin, and he can tempt you with desires you never knew you possessed.
00:23:38Once under his control, he supplies these women with a little of his own blood
00:23:48to transfer into them the same lustful, earthly pleasure that resides within him.
00:23:57And what are these women doing with my husband?
00:24:01Mrs. Harker, I mentioned to you that I have so far pursued Count Dracula for three years without success.
00:24:10Yes.
00:24:11Well, it has occurred to me that someone such as yourself, that is to say a young lady,
00:24:20might have a certain advantage with regard to the possibility of obtaining a degree of proximity to the Count.
00:24:37Professor.
00:24:43Are you asking me for my help?
00:24:51Yes, Mrs. Harker, I am.
00:24:55And in return for my help, you will help me find my husband?
00:25:00But of course.
00:25:02You understand, you may be placed in very great danger.
00:25:06You are stepping into a battleground for which you are terribly ill-prepared.
00:25:12Then you must prepare me.
00:25:15Prepare you?
00:25:18Yes, yes.
00:25:21There's so much you need to learn about the ways of the vampire.
00:25:26Yes, there's so much you need to learn about the ways of the vampire.
00:25:32And you must be prepared physically, in case there should be a need to act in a moment of danger.
00:25:38To act?
00:25:40To kill a vampire, Mrs. Harker.
00:25:42To drive a wooden stake through the ribcage and into the beating heart of a blood-sucking creature of the night.
00:25:48To sever its head at the neck and to burn its body to ash.
00:25:53And for all this and more, you must be prepared.
00:25:57Can you accept such a proposition?
00:26:03Yes.
00:26:06Then rest well, Mrs. Harker.
00:26:09For tomorrow morning, we begin your training.
00:26:14I look forward to it.
00:26:17But before I sleep, I must make a start of my journal.
00:26:21You keep a journal?
00:26:23I've just begun to.
00:26:25Although, I didn't imagine I'd have events such as these to record in it.
00:26:31You brought that thing with you all the way from London?
00:26:36No wonder your suitcase was so heavy. I could barely lift it.
00:26:39I didn't expect there to be so much walking involved.
00:26:43Good night, Mrs. Harker. Sleep well.
00:26:51Good night.
00:27:08At the foot of Castle Dracula, I encountered a quite extraordinary gentleman with whom I formed a tentative alliance.
00:27:15Professor Van Helsing, for that's his name, revealed a great deal of information about the Count,
00:27:20which seems almost impossible to believe.
00:27:23Yet there's something about him.
00:27:29The very poise of his head strikes one at once as indicative of thought and power.
00:27:34The Professor is either a genius or a madman.
00:27:38And I am left to ponder which.
00:27:45What are we doing out here at the crack of dawn?
00:28:12I wanted to know the exact time the sun rises.
00:28:16Shouldn't I be inside studying on your books?
00:28:19I told you, Mrs. Harker, you must prepare your body as well as your mind.
00:28:25But I do have a book for you to study.
00:28:35This is supposed to be some kind of writing.
00:28:38The text is Chinese, Mrs. Harker.
00:28:42I can't read this.
00:28:45There are illustrations.
00:28:49I saw with my own eyes the practitioners of these special exercises perform feats of almost superhuman ability.
00:29:00Crushing bricks, splitting wooden planks with their bare hands.
00:29:06Not that I expect you to accomplish such feats in the short time we have available,
00:29:11but these ancient techniques of the Orient will prepare you for the physical onslaught that may face us in Castle Dracula.
00:29:23Now I must leave this with you and continue with my own studies.
00:29:37This is some sort of test, Professor.
00:29:40I assure you, I mean to pass it.
00:29:47I'm not dressed for this.
00:30:07What on earth are you wearing?
00:30:11Courtesy of the innkeeper.
00:30:13You know, I now realize why gentlemen outperform ladies in so many fields.
00:30:19Our dresses are holding us back.
00:30:37So, a vampire can only be killed by piercing its heart or severing its head?
00:30:43Yes, and they may also be harmed by direct exposure to sunlight and weapons of solid silver.
00:30:51To go up against one with anything else is futile.
00:30:59These are the essential tools of the vampire hunter.
00:31:03A wooden stake with which to pierce the heart and a hammer to drive it into place.
00:31:12It's heavy.
00:31:14As it must be, to drive the stake through the sternum.
00:31:18This is why we must build the strength in your arms.
00:31:24And these?
00:31:26The crucifix is also an essential tool.
00:31:30Vampires, although impervious to most suffering, do have some limitations on their power.
00:31:38A vampire may not cross the threshold of a building unless invited to do so by someone inside.
00:31:45The crucifix, as a symbol of the power of good,
00:31:51The crucifix, as a symbol of the power of good over evil,
00:31:57offers some protection to the one who carries it.
00:32:01When you hold the crucifix aloft, a vampire cannot approach you.
00:32:08And the mirror?
00:32:10Useful for detecting the presence of a vampire before they attack.
00:32:13For a vampire casts no reflection.
00:32:22Please, Mrs. Harker.
00:32:24I do not show you these items for your amusement, but possibly to save your life.
00:32:31Now please, show me again how you hold the hammer.
00:32:41You still find it heavy?
00:32:43I thought as much.
00:32:45To which end I have constructed a little something in your room
00:32:49to assist you in strengthening your arms and wrists.
00:32:53Though I must warn you, you may find the effort painful at first.
00:32:58Professor, I'm as determined to rescue Jonathan as you are to destroy the Count.
00:33:04And I'm not going to let a little discomfort stand in my way.
00:33:19I won't shed a tear for them to see.
00:33:27I won't have your name to call.
00:33:35I will be the last to fall.
00:33:44Young Mrs. Harker continues to progress.
00:33:47With each passing day, my confidence grows that my decision to allow her to assist me in my mission was a good one.
00:33:54My only concern is her fixation on retrieving her husband from Castle Dracula.
00:34:00Whilst wholly understandable, I fear her hope of finding him unharmed is quite unrealistic.
00:34:06Though I keep my thoughts to myself, in truth I do not hold out any hope of finding the young man alive.
00:34:18The Professor's strange training methods are most invigorating.
00:34:23I feel quite certain the day is fast approaching when the Professor will declare my training to be complete.
00:34:48I will be the last to fall.
00:34:54I won't shed a tear for them to see.
00:35:02I won't have your name to call.
00:35:10I won't have your name to call.
00:35:18I will be the last to fall.
00:35:32Have you packed everything I suggested?
00:35:35Yes.
00:35:36There's just one more thing.
00:35:39I thought you said it was useless.
00:35:41Perhaps.
00:35:44Not entirely, sir.
00:35:48What are these?
00:35:49Silver bullets.
00:35:51As many as I could fashion from the silver tip of my cane.
00:35:55There's a fourth bullet already in the barrel of the pistol.
00:35:59If your husband's letter is correct, this gives us one bullet for each vampire.
00:36:04The three brides, and Dracula himself.
00:36:10Place all these in your suitcase.
00:36:13Conceal them well.
00:36:15We must be careful to avoid arousing suspicion.
00:36:20And do you have a plan to get us inside the castle?
00:36:23I do.
00:36:24It will involve a ruse.
00:36:26And once inside the castle, the ruse must be continued until sunrise.
00:36:32Then we will seek out the Count's resting place.
00:36:35But until then, whatever happens, whatever you encounter, you must play along.
00:36:42It may be that along with your husband's life, the lives of many thousands of innocent people are at stake.
00:37:06I'm sorry, is there a problem?
00:37:10You are going to Castle Dracula?
00:37:14Yes, but we do plan to return, I assure you.
00:37:20Would you like me to pay for the rooms first?
00:37:24There's no charge for rooms.
00:37:29If you do one thing for me...
00:37:35This is my daughter, Maria.
00:37:41Four years ago, I received a note from the Count to make a delivery of glass bottles to the castle, with much gold in recompense.
00:37:55I was greedy.
00:37:59I sent Maria to make delivery of glass bottles.
00:38:05I never see her again.
00:38:08You never searched for her?
00:38:10I tried. I tried to gather a group of men from village.
00:38:15But men here, very weak.
00:38:19They live in fear of the castle.
00:38:22With good reason.
00:38:25If you find my Maria, please, bring her back to me.
00:38:33We'll do what we can.
00:38:40Remember what I said.
00:38:43Whatever happens, you have to play along.
00:38:55Good evening, my dear.
00:38:58My name is Professor...
00:39:01I don't know.
00:39:04Ah, good evening, my dear.
00:39:06My name is Professor...
00:39:09Freudstein, and...
00:39:12My carriage lost a wheel some way down the road, and...
00:39:16Well, it's rather late, and I was wondering whether perhaps you might be able to offer some accommodation for the night.
00:39:24Our master does not allow guests.
00:39:29We'd really be much greater.
00:39:31Yes, this is my niece.
00:39:35Mina.
00:39:37Yes, it's just the two of us.
00:39:39We're on a research trip to study rare wildlife in the Carpathian Mountains.
00:39:45And, well, we seem to have taken a wrong turn somewhere.
00:39:49It's really very late.
00:39:51We're sorry to disturb you, but we've nowhere else to go.
00:39:58What's happening?
00:39:59I believe she's checking with her master.
00:40:22Beautiful room.
00:40:24And my uncle?
00:40:26We have many rooms.
00:40:30My sister Ilsa will attend to him.
00:40:34But he'll be nearby.
00:40:37Please, you must rest.
00:40:39My sister Frida will be along with hot water for your bath.
00:40:44I'm sorry?
00:40:47Sure you don't take us for savages here in Transylvania.
00:40:52We bathe before bed, just like you do in England.
00:40:58Yes, of course.
00:41:02Then you agree.
00:41:03Frida and I will bathe you.
00:41:13I hope this will be satisfactory for your stay, Professor...
00:41:18Freudstein.
00:41:19Yes, yes, quite satisfactory, thank you.
00:41:22Is there anything else I can do?
00:41:26To make you more satisfied?
00:41:31No, no.
00:41:32The beds here are quite warm.
00:41:37Yes, and perfectly sized for just one person.
00:41:42You are correct, Professor.
00:41:44If two people were to share this bed, one would have to climb on top of the other, no?
00:41:52Well, quite.
00:41:55Now, if you'll excuse me, my dear, I'm afraid I really must rest.
00:42:02Rest well, Professor.
00:42:2211 o'clock.
00:42:24Six hours to sunrise.
00:42:28You brush my hair so delicately, Frida.
00:42:32If only there was a mirror to see myself.
00:42:36Our master does not need a mirror.
00:42:40I'm not a mirror.
00:42:43I'm a mirror.
00:42:46If only there was a mirror to see myself.
00:42:50Our master doesn't allow mirrors.
00:42:54Oh? Why is that?
00:42:57You and your father must be very passionate about wildlife, to travel so far.
00:43:07You mean my uncle?
00:43:10Yes, of course.
00:43:14Which particular animal from this region do you admire most?
00:43:21I was hoping to see the grey wolf.
00:43:24I understand that this area has the largest population of wolves in the world.
00:43:29We have many wolves.
00:43:32You can often hear the beautiful music they make.
00:43:40You don't have wolves in England?
00:43:42No, not anymore.
00:43:45Edward I had them all put to death.
00:43:48Put to death? But they are such beautiful creatures.
00:43:54Yes.
00:43:56But a creature can be both beautiful and deadly.
00:44:02Wouldn't you say so, Maria?
00:44:06You know my name.
00:44:12You have a nightgown in your case?
00:44:15No.
00:44:17You mean you sleep without one?
00:44:19No. I mean, yes, I do have a nightdress.
00:44:24I'll find it.
00:44:27What is that?
00:44:29My crucifix.
00:44:32I always take this to bed with me.
00:44:35You don't object, surely?
00:44:37No.
00:44:40But I think Frida and I should leave you to sleep.
00:44:53At last, I find myself resting within the very walls of Castle Dracula.
00:44:59My ruse involving young Mrs. Harker appears to have worked,
00:45:03though I have yet to set eyes on the Count himself.
00:45:07Thrilled as I am to have made such progress,
00:45:10I fear the time is soon approaching when Mrs. Harker
00:45:13must inevitably learn the truth of her husband's condition.
00:45:20No man could survive unscathed more than a week
00:45:23in the company of women such as these.
00:46:08The man is dangerous.
00:46:11He is the one I have spoken of.
00:46:14What will you have me do?
00:46:18You and your sisters may deal with him as you wish,
00:46:22have your pleasure with him if you must,
00:46:26but leave no Abelande left in him.
00:46:30And the girl?
00:46:33I want her.
00:46:37She must be made the one of Earth
00:46:40by invitation if she wishes,
00:46:43by force if she does not.
00:47:06Just a few moments' rest before the onslaught.
00:47:30Are you resting well, Professor?
00:47:33Yes, yes. Quite well, thank you.
00:47:40Nina.
00:47:42It's time for you to join us.
00:47:52And you're sure that there is nothing more I can do?
00:47:57No, no. Thank you, my dear.
00:48:00You are quite sure?
00:48:10Join us.
00:48:12Let us share our blood together.
00:48:16Well, perhaps you could...
00:48:20close the door. It is rather drafty.
00:48:25I knew it! You're a creature of the night!
00:48:38Get back!
00:48:40My master knows who you are.
00:48:43I said get back!
00:48:45He will never defeat you.
00:48:49You will drink the blood from your lifeless corpse,
00:48:53and he will reign forever
00:48:56as Prince of Darkness.
00:49:18Argh!
00:49:49Argh!
00:49:55Argh!
00:50:10Argh!
00:50:18Argh!
00:50:49Mrs. Huck, are you all right?
00:50:52Oh, I'm so sorry for the intrusion.
00:50:55For goodness sake, Professor.
00:50:57Anyone would think you'd never seen a woman before.
00:51:00Surely you have a wife?
00:51:02I... Yes, I did before.
00:51:08What's that?
00:51:10This is Jonathan's travel itinerary.
00:51:13From London to Transylvania.
00:51:15The one I typed for him.
00:51:18He was here? In this very room?
00:51:21Ah, yes. Your husband.
00:51:23Well, we have to find him.
00:51:25Yes. Yes, of course.
00:51:37There!
00:51:41Is it him?
00:51:43The Count.
00:51:49We shall soon see.
00:51:53What are all the bottles for?
00:51:56I can guess.
00:51:59He'll be ready with the pistol.
00:52:02Even at his weakest, the Count is far more powerful than his brides.
00:52:14Jonathan!
00:52:16Wait.
00:52:18There's a pulse.
00:52:20Very weak, but it's there.
00:52:24You mean...?
00:52:26He's alive.
00:52:28Jonathan.
00:52:36Eva.
00:52:39Eva.
00:52:41Drained him of almost every drop of blood.
00:52:45It's all here in these bottles.
00:52:48The Count is preparing sustenance for his journey to London.
00:52:52He must be stopped.
00:52:54Wait.
00:52:56What about Jonathan?
00:52:58We've found your husband, Mrs Harker, as promised.
00:53:03I'm grateful for your help thus far.
00:53:06I'm grateful for your help thus far, and from here on, you may do as you wish.
00:53:11But my priority is to find and destroy the Count.
00:53:14You didn't have a plan to get Jonathan to safety.
00:53:17But I...
00:53:23The truth is, I never expected to find your husband alive.
00:53:28Or even to find any trace of him at all.
00:53:31Such as the unquenchable thirst of Dracula and his brides.
00:53:36Therefore...
00:53:38I never formulated a plan to rescue him.
00:53:44And yet...
00:53:46you had me accompany you here.
00:53:49After all that draining.
00:53:51Just so you could go after the Count.
00:53:53Mrs Harker, do you understand what is at stake here?
00:53:57Dracula must not be permitted to cast his malign shadow over the greatest city in the Christian world.
00:54:02The possible consequences are unthinkable.
00:54:05But I can't get Jonathan out of it by myself.
00:54:07Mrs Harker, I...
00:54:08You asked me for my help, Professor.
00:54:13And now I'm asking you.
00:54:16I'm begging you.
00:54:18For your help.
00:54:28Very well.
00:54:30We'll take him back to the inn.
00:54:32He'll be safe there.
00:54:35My...
00:54:37pursuit of the Count can wait.
00:54:50What's that?
00:54:53Just a...
00:54:54small injection of Batley's sedative solution.
00:54:58It has an opium base to take away any pain and help him to rest.
00:55:03You know a lot about these things.
00:55:05Yes, well I'm a medical doctor by profession.
00:55:10So much I don't know about you, Professor.
00:55:17There.
00:55:19He'll be calm now.
00:55:21Jonathan...
00:55:22It's best not to disturb him now.
00:55:24Let him rest.
00:55:39Thank you, Professor.
00:55:42I know you didn't come all the way to Transylvania to rescue my husband.
00:55:48I should thank you, Mrs Harker.
00:55:51And apologize.
00:55:55I risked your life using you as bait for the Count.
00:56:00In any case...
00:56:02saving your husband was the right thing to do.
00:56:05If it had been my wife rather than your husband...
00:56:09I'm sure I would have been just as insistent as you were.
00:56:16You said...
00:56:18you did have a wife.
00:56:24Yes.
00:56:29May I ask...
00:56:32did she pass away?
00:56:37No.
00:56:38No, my dear, no. She's...
00:56:40She's not dead.
00:56:42But she...
00:56:52She's no longer the woman I married.
00:57:00Shloka, he may eat himself.
00:57:06Ah.
00:57:08You, uh...
00:57:10You might find this a little strong, Mrs Harker.
00:57:13We'll see.
00:57:19Well...
00:57:21Ah.
00:57:27Now, why do you do it, Professor?
00:57:30I admit it is an acquired taste.
00:57:33I don't mean the drink. I mean...
00:57:35the Count.
00:57:37Why do you pursue him?
00:57:39Well, isn't it self-evident?
00:57:42He is evil.
00:57:44Purest evil. He must be destroyed.
00:57:48Doing so is the single mission of my life.
00:57:52There's no question of going back to a normal day-to-day existence.
00:57:58Not now that I'm aware such unholy wickedness exists in the world.
00:58:04Of course, but...
00:58:07why take it upon yourself?
00:58:10Because nobody I spoke to about it believed me.
00:58:14Not until I met you, Mrs Harker.
00:58:20Don't you think it's about time you started calling me Mina?
00:58:24Well, if you insist.
00:58:31So...
00:58:33you were telling me...
00:58:35about your wife?
00:58:45I was...
00:58:47on a research trip.
00:58:50We both were.
00:58:52In Bucharest.
00:58:56I'd...
00:58:58heard rumours of a strange sickness...
00:59:02with no known treatment or cure.
00:59:06The victims became pale and listless...
00:59:10suffered immense blood loss for no visible reason...
00:59:16and simply...
00:59:18grew weaker and weaker until the heart could no longer continue beating.
00:59:24Little did I know it was all the work of Count Dracula and his minions.
00:59:37When we...
00:59:39finally began to uncover the truth...
00:59:45we were witness to such horrors.
00:59:56As a man of medicine and science...
01:00:02it was almost impossible for me to come to terms with...
01:00:06what I'd seen.
01:00:10For my wife...
01:00:14was of a particularly...
01:00:17sensitive disposition.
01:00:26My wife's...
01:00:28condition is...
01:00:30it's not an illness of the body...
01:00:34but of the mind.
01:00:40After...
01:00:42experiencing such...
01:00:44shocking events...
01:00:48her mind...
01:00:51simply...
01:00:54ceased to function.
01:00:58Perhaps now you...
01:01:00understand why I was so reluctant at first to involve you in all this.
01:01:07But I was involved, Professor.
01:01:10From the moment I received that letter from Jonathan.
01:01:17Is there any hope that she might...
01:01:21recover?
01:01:23It is a very...
01:01:25new area of science.
01:01:28Even I know almost nothing of the inner workings of the brain.
01:01:36Fortunately I was able to ensure she'd be well cared for in my absence.
01:01:42As for recovery...
01:01:47well...
01:01:49well...
01:01:51there's always hope.
01:01:59I must check on your husband.
01:02:05Please.
01:02:08You have been to Castle Dracula?
01:02:11Yes.
01:02:12Did you see anything of my daughter Maria?
01:02:18Yes, I did.
01:02:20She's alive?
01:02:23I spoke with her.
01:02:26She's very beautiful.
01:02:28Since there is hope.
01:02:32There's always hope.
01:02:35I'm pleased to say your husband's condition is greatly improved.
01:02:40Jonathan.
01:02:42How are you feeling?
01:02:44Better for seeing you.
01:02:48Well, I'm sure the two of you have a lot to catch up on.
01:02:53I should get back to work.
01:02:56Yes.
01:02:59Well, I'm sure the two of you have a lot to catch up on.
01:03:03I should get back to my studies.
01:03:08Perhaps I could make temporary use of your room?
01:03:12Yes, of course.
01:03:16I can't believe you came all the way to Transylvania to find me.
01:03:20It was all like some...
01:03:23terrible dream I couldn't wake up from.
01:03:27Until I saw you.
01:03:29It's over now.
01:03:33I couldn't stop them, Mina.
01:03:37I know it sounds absurd.
01:03:40But it was like they had some strange power over me.
01:03:46It was overwhelming.
01:03:49I felt it too.
01:03:51In that castle.
01:03:54I had dreams.
01:03:56Of those women.
01:03:59And of the Count.
01:04:04Let's just not talk any more about it.
01:04:08The Professor and I have dealt with two of the creatures.
01:04:11But the Count.
01:04:13He never meant for me to leave that place.
01:04:15We're safe here.
01:04:18Professor Van Helsing knows all about Count Dracula.
01:04:23Just get some rest.
01:04:54A quite extraordinary gentleman.
01:04:59The Professor is either a genius or...
01:05:03a madman.
01:05:06Your husband?
01:05:08Asleep.
01:05:10I suggest you try to get some sleep yourself.
01:05:14I'm not sure I dare.
01:05:18I told Jonathan we're safe here, but...
01:05:24The Count isn't confined to the castle walls, is he?
01:05:29What if he comes after us?
01:05:32Remember what I told you.
01:05:35A vampire may not cross the threshold of a property unless invited in.
01:05:41Since we have previously ascertained the innkeeper is no friend of the Count.
01:05:49I can assure you we're quite safe here in the inn, Mina.
01:06:09How could you fail to kill the old man?
01:06:12But it was Isa.
01:06:14She and Frieda.
01:06:17Both lost to us.
01:06:19I'm sorry, Master.
01:06:21It is now all the more imperative that we turn her to our side.
01:06:28I think I know who she is.
01:06:31What do you know?
01:06:33Tell me.
01:06:34She is the wife of the young man.
01:06:37Ariker?
01:06:38How do you know this?
01:06:40Her name is Mina.
01:06:42The same name he calls out in his sleep.
01:06:45Such delicious irony.
01:06:48You are the man, I will have the girl.
01:06:52If only we knew where to find her.
01:06:56They are staying at the inn in the village.
01:06:58How do you know this?
01:07:00She knew my name without ever hearing it from my lips.
01:07:04She must have spoken with my father at the inn.
01:07:09This is why you will always be my favorite bride, Maria.
01:07:16Maria.
01:07:26Father.
01:07:29Maria.
01:07:31I'm so cold.
01:07:33Please, can I come inside?
01:07:45Maria.
01:07:47Maria.
01:07:49Maria.
01:08:14Hello.
01:08:15I thought you could spare another glass, Ernie.
01:08:23Mina.
01:08:26Open the window, Mina.
01:08:33Let me inside.
01:08:45My master and I know who you are, old man.
01:08:49If you know who I am, you must surely fear me, Maria.
01:08:53We fear not.
01:08:55That's not true, is it, Maria?
01:08:57You fear daylight.
01:08:59You fear the holy crucifix.
01:09:01And most of all, you fear your master.
01:09:04I love my master.
01:09:07He gave me life.
01:09:09He gave you nothing but death, Maria.
01:09:12Nothing but an endless, lingering death
01:09:15where you can exist only by leeching off the blood of innocents,
01:09:19even that of your own father.
01:09:21Dracula is my father, my husband, and my lover.
01:09:28I can free you, Maria.
01:09:31I can free your soul to enter heaven, if you'll permit me.
01:09:34You cannot.
01:09:36My soul belongs to Dracula.
01:09:43Father.
01:09:50Mina.
01:09:58He's taken her.
01:10:13Welcome.
01:10:17You are confused, don't be.
01:10:21Your own desire brought you here.
01:10:25I have no desire to be here.
01:10:29I invited you to open the window.
01:10:33I invited you to come in.
01:10:38I invited you to open the window.
01:10:42I had no power to force you.
01:10:46You tricked me.
01:10:49Professor Wormy, he said that you can make people see things.
01:10:56I only showed you what is already in your heart.
01:11:02The touch is cold.
01:11:05Yet you still yearn for it.
01:11:08I despise you.
01:11:10Love and hate, Mina, are but two sides of the same coin.
01:11:19I love my husband.
01:11:23I love my husband.
01:11:25Your husband.
01:11:27The young Mr. Harker.
01:11:30How could you have such allegiance for one who has betrayed you?
01:11:36What?
01:11:38Here, in this castle.
01:11:41Night after night.
01:11:45You're lying.
01:11:47Am I?
01:11:53Stop it.
01:11:55You're tricking me again.
01:11:57Are you sure?
01:12:05It's not true.
01:12:12Mina!
01:12:22What's that?
01:12:24You'll know what it is.
01:12:26I want you to drink it.
01:12:53Drink.
01:12:56Share my blood.
01:12:59Share my power.
01:13:02Be my bride.
01:13:05Be my bride.
01:13:21Drink.
01:13:24Taste the blood of Dracula!
01:13:29It's over, Dracula.
01:13:34The sun has risen.
01:13:42Mina!
01:13:51What are you going to do now?
01:14:05Ah!
01:14:13Finish him!
01:14:35You did it, Mina.
01:14:38You finally succeeded where I've failed all these years.
01:14:42I didn't realize it was morning. I've got to get back to Jonathan.
01:14:45Wait.
01:14:50There's something I have to tell you, Mina.
01:14:55About your husband.
01:15:04I love you.
01:15:34Dearest Lucy, I write this journal now for your eyes.
01:15:39I had intended to share it with Jonathan, but...
01:15:50But now that is not to be.
01:15:55Without him I feel utterly cast adrift.
01:16:01Without him I feel utterly cast adrift.
01:16:05The thought of returning to London, being greeted by all those pitying expressions, fills me with dread.
01:16:14I feel almost inclined never to return at all.
01:16:30The church bells are ringing.
01:16:33News has spread quickly that Dracula is no more.
01:16:37Life is finally returning to the village.
01:16:42And it was all worth it.
01:16:47I, uh...
01:16:50I've made arrangements for the transport of your husband back to London.
01:16:57I presume you'll be accompanying him?
01:17:03I'm not sure.
01:17:06I'm not sure about anything anymore.
01:17:09It's as you said, once your eyes have been opened to the darkness in this world,
01:17:15it's difficult to go back to life as it was.
01:17:28What about you?
01:17:31Me?
01:17:33Yes, didn't you say stopping Dracula was your single mission in life?
01:17:38I did.
01:17:41So, what will you do now?
01:17:48There was a village I passed through.
01:17:52Araki?
01:17:54Yes, yes, that's the one.
01:17:56You mentioned it before, where they said the men turn into wolves during the full moon.
01:18:03Yes.
01:18:05Yes, the people there live in fear for their lives,
01:18:09though my research indicates that the silver bullets I created might be effective against such creatures.
01:18:20You said it was a short distance from here, on the way to Bucharest.
01:18:25That's correct.
01:18:28Then, perhaps we should...
01:18:36Investigate.
01:18:40Yes, perhaps we should.
