00:00:29The End
00:00:59The End
00:01:29The End
00:01:59The End
00:02:29The End
00:02:59The End
00:03:29Well, what do you say?
00:03:35I don't like it.
00:03:38What is wrong with it?
00:03:41Well, there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't like it.
00:03:46Look here, my old friend. You are my friend, aren't you?
00:03:50Yes.
00:03:52Well, would I suggest anything that might go wrong?
00:03:55You would.
00:03:59Look at her last time. You were supposed to watch in the street.
00:04:04How was I done know they kept dogs?
00:04:06Yeah, I've still got the scars. I've got the scars. I'll show you.
00:04:08It ain't like that.
00:04:11We don't have to break in anywhere. It's all in the open. Nothing can go wrong.
00:04:16That's what she said the time before. I've got six months. I've had enough of it.
00:04:23All right. All right. You won't say no more about it. Forget I ever mentioned it.
00:04:32If you don't trust me, that's all right with me. I'll just have to do it on me own, that's all.
00:04:39All right. I'm going home.
00:04:43Of course, the doctor did say that I mustn't do anything that might strain my heart.
00:04:48I'll see you tomorrow.
00:04:50And I shall have the old ten marks to meself.
00:04:56Ten?
00:04:57Ten.
00:04:59You said six.
00:05:00Ten, I mean.
00:05:02I still don't worry you no more, does it, because you ain't coming with me.
00:05:07Ten.
00:05:08Ten marks.
00:05:14I'm afraid of that.
00:05:16Yeah, well, I got it, eh?
00:05:18You've got to know where to find these things.
00:05:21You've got to keep your eyes open.
00:05:24Take this one for a start.
00:05:26He only got planted this morning, you know.
00:05:28He'll be as fresh as a daisy.
00:05:31Who is he?
00:05:34Who?
00:05:35Him.
00:05:38Or is he there?
00:05:41An urn?
00:05:43No, it can't be an urn.
00:05:45It only came from the prison this morning.
00:05:47Don't stand there talking.
00:05:50Come on.
00:05:50We ain't got all night, you know.
00:06:05Come on, have a look.
00:06:06A baron.
00:06:16Well, shall we get any more for him?
00:06:20I never seen a real love baron before.
00:06:23Come on, hurry up.
00:06:27Come on.
00:06:28It's a priest.
00:06:41What if he's a priest?
00:06:58Is he deadening me?
00:07:02Still worth ten marks to me, isn't he?
00:07:04Of course, uh, the head's a bit of a problem.
00:07:12Good evening.
00:07:15I am Baron Frankenstein.
00:07:17I am Baron Frankenstein.
00:07:17I am Baron Frankenstein.
00:07:18I am Baron Frankenstein.
00:07:20Come on.
00:07:22Clones!
00:07:52Clones!
00:07:55Clones!
00:08:06Clones!
00:08:11Clones!
00:08:16Clones!
00:08:18I ask you, gentlemen, what do we really know about him?
00:08:21What do any of us know?
00:08:22Not me at all.
00:08:24He came here three years ago and set himself up in practice.
00:08:27Before then, no one had even heard of him.
00:08:29Where did he study? Where did he take his degree?
00:08:32What's his background? Do any of you know?
00:08:34No.
00:08:35No. No more do I.
00:08:36Yet here he is, well-established,
00:08:38the most popular doctor in Carlsbrook, by all accounts.
00:08:41He hasn't even applied for a place on the medical council.
00:08:44I've even heard he says he can do without the council.
00:08:48Looks as though he's right there, doesn't it?
00:08:50He's managed to steal half my best patients.
00:08:52And mine.
00:08:53And mine.
00:08:54And mine.
00:08:55And mine.
00:08:55Exactly. And mine too.
00:08:57Your wife amongst them, I understand, sir.
00:08:59Yes, well, I've put a stop to that.
00:09:02Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:09:03Well, the fact remains, gentlemen,
00:09:04Dr. Stein must be made to join this council
00:09:07or steps must be taken to see
00:09:08that he is no longer permitted to practice in this city.
00:09:11Right, right, right.
00:09:12Assuming he refuses to join,
00:09:14how do you intend to stop him practicing medicine?
00:09:18Mr. President.
00:09:21Um, well, we have never attempted
00:09:23to prevent any doctor from practicing in the city.
00:09:26However, Dr. Stein's refusal to join,
00:09:29to become one of us,
00:09:31is an affront.
00:09:33Quite so.
00:09:34Ah, are there any suggestions?
00:09:38Oh.
00:09:39Oh, well, send a delegation to see him.
00:09:41Excellent delegation.
00:09:43Yes, made up of, uh...
00:09:45Three.
00:09:45Of course, three.
00:09:47Yes, three.
00:09:48Three doctors from the council here.
00:09:49That is what I suggest.
00:09:50Seconded.
00:09:52All in favor?
00:09:53Yes.
00:09:55Fine, fine.
00:09:56We ought to make an appointment.
00:09:58Hmm?
00:09:59He's right.
00:10:00No one gets into Dr. Stein's surgery
00:10:02without an appointment.
00:10:03She's most trouble once in the centre.
00:10:06Oh, that's it.
00:10:06Yes, yes.
00:10:07Yes, yes.
00:10:09Yes, yes.
00:10:10Yes.
00:10:10Yes, yes.
00:10:13All right.
00:10:14All right.
00:10:15Here's I.
00:10:19My dear Dr. Stein.
00:10:21Vera is in great distress.
00:10:22Indeed, Countess Pacin, sir, please.
00:10:24Will you...
00:10:24Well, I know that you insist that she's cured,
00:10:26but I see no improvement whatsoever.
00:10:28I...
00:10:28She's weak and faint. The movement of every muscle is an effort.
00:10:32Raise your head, Vera. Higher, my child.
00:10:36You see, no animation, no vitality.
00:10:39You must revise your diagnosis. Overhaul her.
00:10:44Vera, my dear, go and prepare yourself. Yes. Yes.
00:10:53Now, let me see. What was your daughter's original complaint?
00:10:56Really, Dr. Stein. It started with palpitations, then dizziness, and, well, how could you forget?
00:11:04She's not my only patient, Countess.
00:11:05Those women outside. I know most of them. They're all in perfect condition. Nothing wrong with them at all.
00:11:12You should be my partner. We could dispose of surgery in half the time.
00:11:16That, of course, would mean half the money.
00:11:18Oh, I know their fees subsidize your work at the poor hospital.
00:11:22I know how good you are to the poor doctor.
00:11:24But my daughter, Vera, she's all I have in the world.
00:11:28Of course.
00:11:31I'm afraid there's very little more I can do for your daughter.
00:11:34Doctors are not magicians. We cannot diagnose maladies which are not there.
00:11:38You are a man, Doctor. You can do a great deal for her.
00:11:42Everything I have goes to Vera when she marries.
00:11:46But her father's last wish.
00:11:47Now, I'm having a musical evening soon. I so much hope you'll be able to come.
00:11:52Much as I like music, I have very little free time.
00:11:54Ah, poor man. A life devoted to the needs of others.
00:11:58No time for a life of your own.
00:12:00There's always time for the important things.
00:12:03Doctor, I'm ready.
00:12:04So am I, Vera.
00:12:05You may come out.
00:12:06Excuse me.
00:12:11You see? Just a few steps and the poor child is exhausted.
00:12:14Every movement is an effort.
00:12:16I will go and wait outside.
00:12:17No, please. It is better that you stay.
00:12:19Oh.
00:12:21But you always used your ear before.
00:12:23I still use my ear. This just magnifies the sound.
00:12:26Oh, Mama, it's so cold.
00:12:28Stand still, dear.
00:12:29I breathe deeply.
00:12:34I can't breathe. That thing's so cold.
00:12:37Can you hear the palpitations with that?
00:12:39Wouldn't it be better to use your ear?
00:12:54There's three men to see you, Dr. Stein.
00:12:57They're from the medical council.
00:12:59They must wait till after surgery.
00:13:02Yeah, well, they seemed impatient.
00:13:05When I've finished.
00:13:06You're the doctor.
00:13:08Oh, no.
00:13:12Have them wait in the ward.
00:13:14What? In the ward?
00:13:15In the ward.
00:13:19And shut the door.
00:13:20Oh.
00:13:29Hey, you.
00:13:35Tell Dr. Stein I won't be around ration.
00:13:37Right, I tell you.
00:13:38Murdering butcher, that's what he is.
00:13:41He'd better not try and do nothing with me.
00:13:42I'll strangle him with bare hands, I will.
00:13:44You'll better frighten him.
00:13:45How can I do me dance without me legs?
00:13:48Let alone the sink.
00:13:55Ah.
00:13:56This way, gentlemen.
00:14:00This way.
00:14:01This is intolerable.
00:14:06Gentlemen, you must remember that these are the poorer.
00:14:10The stench is enough to kill me.
00:14:12Dr. Stein says for you to make yourselves comfortable in ear.
00:14:16Comfortable?
00:14:17You tell Dr. Stein.
00:14:18There's Dr. Stein, gentlemen.
00:14:24Looking after the poor and needy.
00:14:39Look at this.
00:14:40Interesting, isn't it?
00:14:42Quite a work of art.
00:14:43What do you think, gentlemen?
00:14:45Why, it's...
00:14:46Very picturesque.
00:14:47We didn't come here to...
00:14:48You must have it off.
00:14:48What off?
00:14:49This arm.
00:14:50You'll have to strangle him with one arm, Harry.
00:14:52You ain't going to have my arm off, that's for sure.
00:14:54If you'd rather die, it's up to you.
00:14:56Let him have it, Harry.
00:14:57The arm don't pay me none.
00:14:58It's of no use to you.
00:14:59What do you mean, that?
00:15:00Because...
00:15:00Five o'clock in the theatre.
00:15:03Doctor, I won't be able to work no more.
00:15:06What is his work?
00:15:07Pickpocket.
00:15:08You only have to find another trade or use the other hand.
00:15:11Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:15:17Is he new?
00:15:18Admitted this morning.
00:15:19Oh, in me pipe.
00:15:20What's your trouble?
00:15:21It's me chest, governor.
00:15:23I'm not surprised.
00:15:24You use it like a furnace.
00:15:26It's amazing how dirty these people are, isn't it?
00:15:28Keeps them warm, they tell me.
00:15:31Well?
00:15:32Hmm?
00:15:33What can I do for you?
00:15:36Well, I am the president of the medical council.
00:15:39Congratulations.
00:15:40At our last meeting, it was agreed that you should become a member.
00:15:44Really?
00:15:46Have this new man washed, then I'll look at him.
00:15:48I'm greatly honored, gentlemen.
00:15:50Then you accept?
00:15:52No.
00:15:53Huh?
00:15:53Every doctor of the faculty regards your attitude as an insult.
00:15:57When I arrived in Carlsbrook, without means or influence, and attempted to set up in practice,
00:16:02I was met by a firm resistance from the medical council, which apparently exists purely to eliminate competition.
00:16:07I have built up a highly successful practice, alone and unaided.
00:16:12Having grown accustomed to working alone, I find I prefer it.
00:16:16Do I make myself clear, gentlemen?
00:16:18Quite clear.
00:16:20Good day.
00:16:22You haven't heard the last of this.
00:16:24A lot he cares.
00:16:26What more can I do?
00:16:29Well, he won't pick any more pockets with that arm.
00:16:32You'll have the parcel ready for my messenger when he calls.
00:16:34Right, doctor.
00:16:35Your supper's already in there.
00:16:36Good night to you, then.
00:16:37Good night, doctor.
00:16:38And thank you.
00:17:07Good night, doctor.
00:17:08Good night, doctor.
00:17:09Good night, doctor.
00:17:10Good night, doctor.
00:17:11Good night, doctor.
00:17:12Good night, doctor.
00:17:13Good night, doctor.
00:17:14Good night, doctor.
00:17:15Good night, doctor.
00:17:16Good night, doctor.
00:17:17Good night, doctor.
00:17:18Good night, doctor.
00:17:19Good night, doctor.
00:17:20Good night, doctor.
00:17:21Good night, doctor.
00:17:22Good night, doctor.
00:17:23Good night, doctor.
00:17:24Good night, doctor.
00:17:25Good night, doctor.
00:17:26Good night, doctor.
00:17:27Good night, doctor.
00:17:28Good night, doctor.
00:17:29Good night, doctor.
00:17:30Good night, doctor.
00:17:31Good night, doctor.
00:17:32Good night, doctor.
00:17:33Good night, doctor.
00:17:34You must forgive this intrusion.
00:17:37Must I?
00:17:39I wanted to renew our acquaintance.
00:17:42After a few moments with you this afternoon,
00:17:44I was sure I'd seen you before.
00:17:46That's hardly surprising.
00:17:48I've been practicing here in Carsbrook for the last three years.
00:17:51Before that, a little more than three years ago
00:17:54at the village of Ingstadt,
00:17:56I was attending the funeral of Professor Bernstein.
00:17:59You've heard of him, no doubt.
00:18:02Everyone has heard of Professor Bernstein.
00:18:05I was a last year student at the university
00:18:07where he was lecturing when he died.
00:18:10May I offer you some chicken, Doctor?
00:18:12Cleve, Hans Cleve. No, thank you.
00:18:14Perhaps a little cheese. I can recommend it.
00:18:17The Professor was buried in the family vault of Baron Frankenstein.
00:18:22Shall I go on?
00:18:23Please, please do.
00:18:26I'm the first, I suppose, to recognize you.
00:18:29For what I am or what you would have me be?
00:18:31No, the resemblance is too striking.
00:18:34That and your present activities lead to only one conclusion.
00:18:38So, and what if I am, Miss Baron Frankenstein?
00:18:42Are you?
00:18:43Just now you were telling me, now you're asking.
00:18:46Doctor Cleve, why are you so interested in this gentleman?
00:18:50I'm in search of knowledge.
00:18:52Knowledge?
00:18:53Ah, so that's it.
00:18:56My name is Frankenstein, I'll admit.
00:18:59Ah.
00:19:00But it's a large family, you know.
00:19:01Remarkable since the Middle Ages for productivity.
00:19:04There are offshoots everywhere, even in America, I'm told.
00:19:07There's a town called Frankenstein in Germany.
00:19:09Are you the Baron Frankenstein?
00:19:11Then there are the Frankensteins emanating from the town of that name in Silesia.
00:19:14Are you Baron Frankenstein?
00:19:16Yes, Doctor Cleve.
00:19:19I was sure of it.
00:19:21I told you that I'm in search of knowledge.
00:19:24I want to learn more than any university can ever teach you.
00:19:27I want to be the pupil of the greatest doctor, the finest medical brain in the world.
00:19:32Your pupil, Baron Frankenstein.
00:19:34Highly commendable.
00:19:36And if I refuse?
00:19:38You won't.
00:19:39Sir.
00:19:40Either I implore you in my researches, or...
00:19:44Surely this is blackmail.
00:19:46An ugly train, a doctor.
00:19:48I see it as an agreement of, shall we say, mutual reciprocation.
00:19:52Your knowledge in return for my assistance.
00:19:54And your silence.
00:20:02And not an easy man to work for.
00:20:04Few men are.
00:20:05And when you've learned all you want to know,
00:20:10you might change your mind about keeping silent.
00:20:15I wonder if I can trust you.
00:20:18But then uncertainty is part of life's fascination, isn't it?
00:20:24I'll take the risk if you will.
00:20:27Will you accept me as your pupil?
00:20:29Where did you study?
00:20:31Under Professor Anderson in Edinburgh,
00:20:33Dr Karl Strauss in Vienna, at the hospital in Paris.
00:20:35Enough.
00:20:38Unlike yours, my practice is negligible.
00:20:40When do we start working together?
00:20:41Now, incidentally, Hans,
00:20:43you must exercise great caution when addressing me.
00:20:45My name is Stein.
00:20:47Victor Stein.
00:20:48Yes, of course.
00:20:49The Austrian or Swiss branch of that family, Dr Stein.
00:20:52They're settled for Switzerland.
00:20:54It's an exhilarating climate, if a little heady.
00:20:56Please, do join me.
00:20:58After supper, I'll show you around my laboratory.
00:21:00I'll show you around my laboratory.
00:21:23Evening, Doctor.
00:21:24Good evening.
00:21:25The other one's down below, waiting for you.
00:21:35Not the best setting for a laboratory, but it's ideal for my purpose.
00:21:39Be careful.
00:21:41It'll be a pity to lose you.
00:21:43So soon.
00:21:54Come on.
00:22:09Surprised?
00:22:11Originally, this was a wine cellar.
00:22:13Carl, this is Dr. Hans Klaver. He is to work with us.
00:22:21Do we really need him?
00:22:22Oh, yes. I shall need an assistant.
00:22:24Dr. Klaver presented himself just at the right moment.
00:22:28The doctor trusts me, Carl. I hope you will, too.
00:22:34Good.
00:22:35Oh, this is Otto, our chimpanzee.
00:22:37Carl, you collected the parcel.
00:22:39Yes, yes, doctor. It's over here.
00:22:41Hans.
00:22:56That's the arm of the pickpocket.
00:22:58It is, indeed.
00:22:59You need sensitive fingers to be a member of that profession.
00:23:03It will be very useful to me.
00:23:05Now, come here.
00:23:17What is it?
00:23:18A brain.
00:23:19A brain?
00:23:19If you put your hand too near a fire, what makes you snatch it away?
00:23:24The nerves.
00:23:25Exactly.
00:23:26The nerves of the hand send a message to the brain.
00:23:31And the brain activates the muscles for withdrawing the hand.
00:23:34But you don't put your hand too near the fire if you see it first.
00:23:38The eye recognizes fire as a harmful agent.
00:23:43Let me demonstrate.
00:23:44Let me demonstrate.
00:24:14Now observe. The brain, the hand, the eyes.
00:24:39Watch the eyes.
00:24:44Watch the eyes.
00:25:14Watch the eyes.
00:25:44So this is a brain.
00:25:46All this paraphernalia, incapable of only one simple reaction.
00:25:51Imagine for one moment the complexity of the human brain.
00:25:54The same size, perhaps, but a million times more efficient.
00:25:57It controls every action, every reaction.
00:26:00Stores memories, it motivates all life.
00:26:03And this is all I've been able to do.
00:26:05But you should be proud. I've never seen anything like it.
00:26:08Haven't you?
00:26:10No, I don't suppose you have.
00:26:18Do you know that I...
00:26:20That Frankenstein was condemned to death?
00:26:23Yes.
00:26:25Do you know what for?
00:26:26Well, surely everyone knows.
00:26:28The story's become a legend.
00:26:30He created a man who became a monster.
00:26:33It should have been perfect.
00:26:35I made it to be perfect.
00:26:37If the brain hadn't been damaged,
00:26:40my work would have been hailed as the greatest scientific achievement of all time.
00:26:44Frankenstein would have been accepted as a genius of science.
00:26:47Instead, he was sent to the guillotine.
00:26:49I swore I would have my revenge.
00:26:54They will never be rid of me.
00:27:01This is something I am proud of.
00:27:03Who is he?
00:27:29Nobody.
00:27:31He isn't born yet.
00:27:32But this time he is perfect.
00:27:35Except for a few scars.
00:27:37He is perfect.
00:27:46And you made this body from other bodies?
00:27:49Yes.
00:27:50My voluntary work at the poor hospital serves me very well.
00:27:53All I need is the brain, and then I can give it life.
00:27:56You've seen the result of this.
00:27:59And it's by no means my first attempt.
00:28:00I only keep this cumbersome thing to remind me of the impossibility of the task,
00:28:05should I ever think of trying again.
00:28:08No.
00:28:09The brain must be a living one.
00:28:11Unlike the limbs, life cannot be restored once life is gone.
00:28:14The brain is life, and so a living brain must be used.
00:28:18But surely that would mean committing murder.
00:28:20Well, not necessarily.
00:28:22I have a volunteer.
00:28:25He's here in the laboratory.
00:28:27No, Hans, not you.
00:28:31Now, your brain is too valuable where it is.
00:28:35He's over there.
00:28:35You mean Carl?
00:28:38Yes.
00:28:39We made a bargain.
00:28:41If he saved me from the guillotine, I would give him a new body.
00:28:45Yes, but his paralysis, surely that indicates an injury to the brain.
00:28:48I examine him thoroughly.
00:28:49The paralysis is due to a blood clot.
00:28:51It can be dispersed during the operation.
00:28:54Carl has a fine brain.
00:28:55He's quick, intelligent, and he's absorbed a great deal of knowledge since working with me.
00:28:59Haven't you, Carl?
00:29:01Dr. Stein is welcome to my brain.
00:29:05As long as he rids me of this.
00:29:10You must have great faith in Dr. Stein.
00:29:12I have.
00:29:23Surely it can be done.
00:29:25The operation will be a complete success.
00:29:34There's a young woman asking for you, doctor.
00:29:37She's a real lady.
00:29:39She's got sent off.
00:29:41Must have come to the wrong surgery.
00:29:43Finish dressing that, will you?
00:29:44Right, doctor.
00:29:45Where is she?
00:29:46She's in the doctor's room.
00:29:53Good girl.
00:29:54Good morning.
00:30:07Good morning.
00:30:08Good morning.
00:30:08Dr. Stein's not here, I understand.
00:30:12No, no.
00:30:13He's at his surgery in town.
00:30:16Would you like to sit down?
00:30:17Yes, thank you.
00:30:18You don't mind if I get cleaned up?
00:30:23No, please do.
00:30:27I'm Margaret Conrad.
00:30:29I shall be working here.
00:30:30I shall read to the sick.
00:30:42I shall read to the sick.
00:30:43Shop for them, you know.
00:30:45Get them things like, well, tobacco, writing paper, soap.
00:30:48Oh, my dear lady, they seldom wash, and they never write.
00:30:55But I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty to do.
00:31:00Well, I won't disappoint you.
00:31:03Poor Dr. Stein.
00:31:08Oh, I...
00:31:09Oh, Carl, this lady's going to work here.
00:31:16Did you want something, Carl?
00:31:18Uh, I was to.
00:31:21No, you can wait.
00:31:22Oh, well, if it's a professional matter, I'll leave you.
00:31:25No, please.
00:31:27I'll come back.
00:31:34Oh.
00:31:35When I offered him my hand, I didn't realize.
00:31:38He seemed quite taken with him.
00:31:40Is he a patient?
00:31:42No, he helps Dr. Stein.
00:31:45Oh, there's a very sound brain in that unfortunate body.
00:31:50Are you quite sure you want to work here?
00:31:52I'm quite sure.
00:31:55I did my best to dissuade her.
00:31:58But it would be inconvenient if I were forced to leave the hospital because of her father.
00:32:04Well, she seems a very determined young lady.
00:32:06You get her to wash one of the patients.
00:32:08Don't you frighten her away.
00:32:10You ready?
00:32:12Where do we go?
00:32:14The laboratory.
00:32:16Tonight we give Carl his new body.
00:32:19You wanted to learn?
00:32:20Come on.
00:32:22Come on.
00:32:23Come on.
00:32:23Come on.
00:32:53Carl, are you ready?
00:32:57I'm ready, Doctor.
00:32:58Good.
00:33:03Good.
00:33:23You keep looking at him.
00:33:47Very soon, that will be you.
00:33:49I'll be right back.
00:34:19All righty.
00:34:49All righty.
00:35:19This is to preserve the body.
00:35:40Embalming fluid.
00:35:41Yes.
00:35:49This is to preserve the body.
00:36:19Keep it steady at A-10.
00:36:38Keep it steady at A-10.

00:37:49A-10.
00:37:50A-10.
00:37:51A-11.
00:37:52All right.
00:38:00How long before he regains consciousness?
00:38:02An hour or so.
00:38:04His brain will take some time to adjust itself to his new body.
00:38:07He must have complete rest
00:38:09and avoid any sudden or violent movement.
00:38:12As a precaution, I shall keep him strapped for a few days.
00:38:16It was a superb operation, Doctor. I learned a great deal from it.
00:38:20Thank you for your assistance.
00:38:22This is only the beginning of our work together.
00:38:28Must be Otto's feeding time.
00:38:30Yes. Yes, there it is.
00:38:32That was one of Carl's duties.
00:38:34I'd better do it for him.
00:38:40I wonder what he makes of all this.
00:38:42He'd be very interested if he knew.
00:38:44In my early experiments with the live brain,
00:38:46I used reptiles.
00:38:48I removed the brain from a lizard
00:38:50and replaced it with a france.
00:38:51The lizard attempted to jump,
00:38:52but, of course, it was physically incapable.
00:38:54But it proved my theory.
00:38:56The brain will continue its normal function,
00:38:58regardless of its environment.
00:39:00Later, I used anthropoids.
00:39:02I gave Otto the brain of an orangutan.
00:39:06Was it successful?
00:39:08You can see for yourself.
00:39:10Now, I want Carl close at hand where we can watch him.
00:39:14We must get him to the hospital.
00:39:16I've prepared an attic room there.
00:39:18Won't they be dangerous so soon after the operation?
00:39:20Not if we take care.
00:39:22Not if we take care.
00:39:24I'll get you.
00:39:26Come on.
00:39:30Get off.
00:39:32Get off.
00:39:34Get off.
00:39:42Get on.
00:40:12Get on.
00:40:42Get on.
00:41:12Try to relax.
00:41:25You're quite safe now.
00:41:27He's bound to have a certain amount of pain as the anesthetic weighs off.
00:41:53You're quite safe now.
00:42:23Now, Carl.
00:42:26Carl.
00:42:29Can you hear me?
00:42:31You've made wonderful progress in the past week.
00:42:39These are necessary for a little while.
00:42:42I'm sorry.
00:42:42It won't be for long.
00:42:44Hans?
00:42:50Yes?
00:42:55Good.
00:42:56Now, just reflect the light on his right eye, will you?
00:43:10Keep it steady.
00:43:14Mm-hmm.
00:43:17Now the left.
00:43:22That's excellent.
00:43:23Now, Carl.
00:43:33Try and move your left arm.
00:43:36Left.
00:43:39Left.
00:43:50Now the right.
00:43:50Now the right.
00:43:51There's very little wrong with you, Carl.
00:44:04Congratulations.
00:44:04I'm doing the ward now.
00:44:10Dr.
00:44:11Dr. Claver will stay with you.
00:44:19You'll see to the straps.
00:44:20Yes, of course.
00:44:21Except for the movement of his right arm, his reactions are excellent.
00:44:24Even better than I expected.
00:44:26Now talk to him.
00:44:27Don't overtax him.
00:44:27But keep his mind fairly active.
00:44:29When he shows signs of fatigue, give him one of those.
00:44:31You can leave him to rest, then.
00:44:33I shall go to the laboratory as soon as I've finished in the ward.
00:44:35Send for me at once if you need me.
00:44:37You have your key?
00:44:38Yes.
00:44:43Carl.
00:44:44You'll be up and wearing those clothes in no time.
00:44:57Yes, Carl.
00:45:09When can I see my new body?
00:45:14Very soon now.
00:45:16I think you'll be proud.
00:45:19Dr. Claver.
00:45:21What is to happen to me after?
00:45:25Oh, there are great plans for you.
00:45:30Doctors and scientists will come from all over the world to see you and to talk to you.
00:45:35You're a very important person now, Carl.
00:45:37Dr. Stein intends to hold student lectures.
00:45:40They'll see you, a normal man with a normal body, side by side with your old body.
00:45:48All my life I've been stared at.
00:45:51It'll be different now, Carl.
00:45:52You'll be able to play a great part in the advancement of medical science.
00:45:58Are you in pain?
00:46:00No.
00:46:01I think you'd better rest now.
00:46:04Not too much excitement just yet.
00:46:11Here.
00:46:14Drink this.
00:46:15No.
00:46:38No.
00:46:39Hello, lad. Still suffering, huh?
00:47:05How are you today?
00:47:07Better, miss. Thank you.
00:47:08Oh, good. I am glad.
00:47:10Well, now. Do you care for something today?
00:47:13There's soap, writing paper, or tobacco.
00:47:15Oh, well, I'll have it all in tobacco, if I may, miss.
00:47:17No soap.
00:47:18I'll never use it.
00:47:21Miss Conrad.
00:47:22Yes, doctor.
00:47:23I must ask you to keep out of the ward when I'm on duty.
00:47:31Have you anything to do?
00:47:32Yes, sir.
00:47:33Do it, then.
00:47:34Yes, sir.
00:47:35He's a moody cove, ain't he?
00:47:45Hmm.
00:47:47I beg your pardon?
00:47:48Oh. I'm sorry, miss, but if you knew what I knew, cruelly he is, he cuts them up, you
00:47:57know. Alive.
00:48:00Don't talk such nonsense.
00:48:01What? Let me tell you, miss.
00:48:03He had a new one in the other night.
00:48:05Good.
00:48:05Alive was sight he was in.
00:48:07All strapped down he was, screaming his head off.
00:48:10I don't believe a word you're saying.
00:48:11You can see for yourself.
00:48:13They keep him in a special room, an attic.
00:48:16All locked up, of course.
00:48:18Oh.
00:48:19Well, then, perhaps I'd better see him, just in case you're telling the truth.
00:48:24Do you like to show me the way?
00:48:26Well, of course I will.
00:48:27I know where they keep the master key.
00:48:30They don't know I know.
00:48:31But I know a lot of things that might surprise me.
00:48:34You wait here.
00:48:35I'll go and fetch it.
00:48:36Oh, well, I might as well take my tobacco now, eh?
00:48:41In case I forget.
00:48:44Ta.
00:48:44Oh, well, I might as well take my tobacco now.
00:49:14Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
00:49:44Stay finished, and let me have the key back, eh?
00:50:14Oh, I'm sorry. Did I waken you?
00:50:22Miss Conrad, it's you.
00:50:26How did you know my name?
00:50:29I've met you once before. You wouldn't remember.
00:50:34Did Dr. Stein send you to see me?
00:50:38No. No, I just came to see if you were comfortable.
00:51:00All right, come in.
00:51:02Thank you, doctor.
00:51:07Oh, well, really, I didn't intend to...
00:51:11Oh, well, if you insist.
00:51:19Here you are.
00:51:21Thank you, doctor.
00:51:27Oh, that's better. Just a stop for a cold day, eh?
00:51:30If you used that broom a bit more, you wouldn't feel the cold.
00:51:34Oh.
00:51:36How's the...
00:51:38How's the special patient, doctor, eh?
00:51:40What do you know about him?
00:51:42Oh, nothing. Nothing at all except be special.
00:51:45What's the difference about him?
00:51:47Ain't he got fleas?
00:51:51If you washed yourself, you wouldn't have fleas.
00:51:53What, me? Wash?
00:51:55I'd catch pneumonia like it's not.
00:51:57No.
00:51:58Now, I'll have me fleas and keep me off in strength.
00:52:02What is your work?
00:52:06I have no work.
00:52:08Oh, you will soon get some.
00:52:10You'll forget all about your illness.
00:52:13I will help you when you are better.
00:52:16You must come and see me.
00:52:18I will write down my address for you, shall I?
00:52:42I'll put it in your pocket.
00:52:48These traps, they hurt.
00:52:55Oh, they're far too tight.
00:52:58I'll loosen them for you.
00:53:05Now then.
00:53:07Take the animals in the jungle.
00:53:09They don't wash none.
00:53:10And yet they keep healthy.
00:53:12You never hear of them getting sick.
00:53:14Cause why?
00:53:15Because they are good and dirty.
00:53:17And what do you know about the animals in the jungle?
00:53:20Ah, you'll be surprised.
00:53:22I'm a great animal fancier.
00:53:24I know all about their habits.
00:53:26Because you practice them yourself, eh?
00:53:28And what's wrong with that?
00:53:29They was here before we was.
00:53:31And they'll be here a long time after we've gone.
00:53:33They know how to look after themselves.
00:53:36Wow.
00:53:38Take the monkeys, for instance.
00:53:40They've got a good layer of dirt to keep them warm.
00:53:43Plenty to eat.
00:53:44Plenty to drink.
00:53:46I'll bet they laugh at us sometimes.
00:53:48On the quiet, eh?
00:53:50Now, if you get hungry,
00:53:52you have to cook yourself a meal of meat and potatoes.
00:53:55Not them.
00:53:57If they get hungry, they reach us out for a banana.
00:54:01They don't have to worry about cooking or nothing.
00:54:05They don't even eat meat.
00:54:07They don't, do they?
00:54:09Meat?
00:54:10Course they don't.
00:54:17Um, do you mind if I up myself to another one, Doctor?
00:54:20Oh, thanks.
00:54:30Did Otto eat flesh before you operated?
00:54:33No, I discovered it soon after the operation.
00:54:36He ate his wife.
00:54:38That's another monkey.
00:54:40What else would he be married to?
00:54:43Do you mean he turned into a cannibal?
00:54:45Yes.
00:54:46I didn't attempt to correct it.
00:54:48He'd been through enough already,
00:54:49and he's perfectly happy and in good health.
00:54:55But surely...
00:54:57I mean...
00:54:59Couldn't the same thing happen to Carl?
00:55:01There's no danger of that,
00:55:02so long as his brain is given time to heal.
00:55:05Otto became agitated after his operation.
00:55:08He fractured one of the cells of the brain.
00:55:12Does Carl know about what happened to Otto?
00:55:15Of course he does.
00:55:17But just as well.
00:55:19He knows what could happen to him,
00:55:20so he'll take no unnecessary risks.
00:55:29Now, Hans.
00:55:31I finished something today.
00:55:33I'd like to show it to you.
00:55:34What do you think of it?
00:55:44I thought you'd be interested.
00:55:49Before we go back to the hospital,
00:55:50I want you to help me get him into the tank.
00:56:04I can't wait.
00:56:14Oh, my God.
00:56:19I did not see it.
00:56:20What do you think of it?
00:56:22It's not easy to do.
00:56:24I can't believe it.
00:56:26I can't believe it's in the tank.
00:56:28Let's go.
00:56:58Let's go.
00:57:28Let's go.
00:57:58Let's go.
00:58:28Let's go.
00:58:58Let's go.
00:59:28Let's go.
00:59:58Let's go.
01:00:28Let's go.
01:00:58Let's go.
01:00:59Let's go.
01:01:02Let's go.
01:01:06There you are.
01:01:12I'm afraid I'm going to bust your skull now.
01:01:22I'll teach you.
01:01:36I'll teach you.
01:01:38Don't hit me, please.
01:01:42I won't hit you.
01:01:48I won't hit you.
01:01:49Now I'll have to hit you.
01:01:57Now I'll have to hit you some more to make up for all the damage you've just done.
01:02:06Get up.
01:02:08Get up.
01:02:12I'll have to hit you.
01:02:18I'll have to hit you.
01:02:24I'll have to hit you.
01:02:26I'll have to hit you.
01:02:28I'll have to hit you.
01:02:29I'll have to hit you.
01:02:34Oh, shit.
01:03:04Oh, shit.
01:03:34Oh, shit.
01:03:39Oh, shit.
01:03:54How?
01:03:56But he was asleep when I left him. I gave him a sedative.
01:03:59How could he have undone the straps?
01:04:00Why, Hans, not how. Why?
01:04:03There's always a reason why.
01:04:05What happened before you gave him the signal?
01:04:06I don't remember.
01:04:07Pull yourself together, man, tell me!
01:04:09Well, I talked to him.
01:04:11I told him your plans for his future.
01:04:13You told him that.
01:04:15You fool, you stupid fool!
01:04:17Do you know nothing of human reactions?
01:04:21You think, where would he go?
01:04:23The laboratory.
01:04:30Look!
01:04:55He burnt his old body.
01:05:00The janitor must have disturbed him.
01:05:02Suppose his brain was damaged in the fight.
01:05:03Sooner or later, he'll need my help.
01:05:05He knows that.
01:05:06Go back to the hospital and carry on normal routine.
01:05:08I shall stay here.
01:05:09But shouldn't we search for him?
01:05:10Do as I tell you.
01:05:11Do as I tell you.
01:05:12Oh!
01:05:13Thank you, Joseph.
01:05:14I'm just going to go to the hospital.
01:05:15I'm going to go to the hospital.
01:05:16I'm going to go to the hospital and carry on normal routine.
01:05:17I shall stay here.
01:05:18But shouldn't we search for him?
01:05:19Do as I tell you.
01:05:20I'll go to the hospital.
01:05:21I'll go to the hospital.
01:05:23Good day, George.
01:05:23What's wrong with that?
01:05:24It's nice to be a soldier.
01:05:25Please sit there.
01:05:26Jeug.
01:05:27I can't wait to go to the hospital and I'll go to the hospital.
01:05:28Thank you, Joseph.
01:05:29I'm just going in to see the ponies.
01:05:30Hello.
01:05:31I'll go to the hospital.
01:05:32I'll go to the hospital.
01:05:33There he is.
01:05:34I'll go to the hospital.
01:05:37Ah! Thank you, Joseph. I'm just going in to see the ponies.
01:05:49Hello, my lovelies. How about a piece of sugar, hmm? A piece of sugar for Mama? Good.
01:05:55How about you? Come on, I've got a piece for you. Come over here. There.
01:06:07What are you doing here? I... I... I had to get away. You said you'd help me.
01:06:30Mama, does Dr. Stein know you've left the hospital? No. No, don't tell him. Please. Please, don't tell him.
01:06:37You'd better come with me. No, no, no. Let me stay here.
01:06:41But you need looking after. I must tell Dr. Stein. No!
01:06:46Well, Carl. Carl, you cannot remain here. Not like this.
01:06:52You... You've been kind to me. Please.
01:06:56Please. Please, not Dr. Stein.
01:07:02If I promise not to tell him, will you stay here until I get back?
01:07:07Oh. I won't be long.
01:07:13Try to rest this as much as you can, will you? Yes, Doctor.
01:07:17Hands. I must speak to you. It's urgent.
01:07:20Come and see me again in a few days' time. Yes, Doctor.
01:07:23Look, I found Carl this morning. He's at my aunt's home, in the stable.
01:07:27Achoo! I must get Dr. Stein.
01:07:30Oh, no, no. Please. Carl's terrified of him.
01:07:33I'm sorry. I must get him. Please. The poor man's nearly out of his mind.
01:07:36Anyway, I promised him I wouldn't bring Dr. Stein.
01:07:38Then I'd better come. Oh, I have a carriage.
01:07:39Oh.
01:07:41I have a carriage.
01:07:42Please. The poor man's nearly out of his mind.
01:07:45Anyway, I promised him I wouldn't bring Dr. Stein.
01:07:49Then I'd better come.
01:07:50Oh, I have a carriage.
01:08:12He's...
01:08:38He's...
01:08:48Here he comes.
01:08:56He was in pain. I thought I was helping him.
01:08:58Of course you did.
01:09:02Carl. Carl, I brought Dr. Caver.
01:09:04But he was there. I left one of the grooms with him.
01:09:10Joseph, where's that man I told you to look after?
01:09:12I don't know, miss. I went to water the horses and when I came back he'd gone.
01:09:16Dr. Stein must be told now.
01:09:17Shall I come with you?
01:09:18No, no, you stay in the house.
01:09:23Oh, stop that, can't you?
01:09:25Well, what are you getting annoyed about?
01:09:27What do you think I'm getting annoyed about?
01:09:29We've been here half an hour.
01:09:31And all you can find to do is look at a lot of ants.
01:09:33Well, ants is interesting.
01:09:35You can learn a lot from ants.
01:09:37Well, you haven't learnt much.
01:09:39What do you mean?
01:09:41They've got more sense than to sit around all night.
01:09:43They get on with it.
01:09:45On with what?
01:09:47Oh, I'm going home.
01:09:54Good night, Gerda.
01:10:14Gerda! Gerda!
01:10:16Gerda!
01:10:22Is it much further?
01:10:23We're in the park now.
01:10:25The Countess's house is about three miles away on the other side.
01:10:28Can't they go any faster?
01:10:31I feel I'm to blame for this.
01:10:33But I thought it would be wiser to go myself,
01:10:35when Miss Conrad told me she promised that you would...
01:10:37You should have come to me at once!
01:10:39These interfering women!
01:10:44Why have you stopped?
01:10:45Oh, it's you, Dr. Stein.
01:10:46I'm sorry to trouble you, sir,
01:10:47but we have to check on everyone passing this way.
01:10:49There's been a murder in the vicinity.
01:10:52Can I be of assistance?
01:10:54Oh, this is Dr. Claver.
01:10:55Good evening, sir.
01:10:56Good evening.
01:10:57Well, sir, if you would examine the body,
01:10:58we should like to have a report.
01:11:00Certainly.
01:11:01Come this way, sir.
01:11:02Come this way, sir.
01:11:14When did this happen?
01:11:15About an hour ago, this boy says.
01:11:17Did you see who attacked her?
01:11:33All he could tell me was, when he heard the girl scream,
01:11:36he shouted.
01:11:37And then the man rushed off.
01:11:40If it was a man...
01:11:45What do you mean?
01:11:46Well, sir, the boy said he had a strange shape,
01:11:48almost like an animal.
01:11:49But, of course, he only caught a glimpse of him.
01:11:53I think this is more than just an ordinary murder.
01:11:55Have you searched the park?
01:11:56Thoroughly, sir.
01:11:57Well, there's nothing I can do here.
01:11:59I'll let you have my report.
01:12:01Thank you, sir.
01:12:02Sorry to have detained you.
01:12:29See you.
01:12:46see you back to me, see that!
01:12:47I have nothing against the English composers, Dr. Malker.
01:13:16It's just that they won't let themselves go.
01:13:18Not even Handel.
01:13:19Ah, but he was stolen from Germany.
01:13:21Dr. Victor Stein, Dr. Hans Kleber.
01:13:24Oh, Dr. Stein, so you came after all.
01:13:26Countess, I wish to speak to your niece. It is very urgent.
01:13:28Ah, but the night is young. Vera, my dear.
01:13:36Excuse me.
01:13:37Certainly.
01:13:38When you found Karl in the stable, was he the same as when you saw him in the hospital?
01:13:49Yes, but he was very distressed.
01:13:52Is that the last you saw of him?
01:13:53Yes.
01:13:54Are you certain he hasn't returned here?
01:13:56Yes.
01:13:57I...
01:14:12Oh!
01:14:13Go!
01:14:14Go!
01:14:28Oh, no!
01:14:32Frankenstein!
01:14:49Frankenstein!
01:14:55Frankenstein!
01:15:05Frankenstein, help me. Those were his very words.
01:15:08And then what happened?
01:15:09The poor fellow collapsed, dead.
01:15:12Stein and young Clever carried him from the room, and that's all I know.
01:15:15I summoned this meeting right away.
01:15:17You did correctly, Dr. Molker.
01:15:19What we have to decide now, gentlemen, is this man Frankenstein or not?
01:15:24Mr. President, while I was waiting for the senior members of this council to gather,
01:15:28I spent my time going through the old records relating to this Frankenstein.
01:15:32The description of him given in them fits our friend Dr. Stein very closely.
01:15:37Dr. Stein, I beg you to listen to me.
01:15:40Get away from here, across the border.
01:15:43We can start again somewhere else.
01:15:45There's no hurry.
01:15:47But everyone heard Carl call you Frankenstein.
01:15:50Molker was there. He'll report to the medical council.
01:15:53They're bound to take action. You know the way they feel about you.
01:15:56This is the chance they've been waiting for.
01:15:58There was always the risk that I might be identified.
01:16:01My plans were made accordingly.
01:16:03But you can't stay here.
01:16:04I shall be at the surgery in the morning at my usual time.
01:16:13Have you seen your waiting room?
01:16:15It's deserted. The whole town knows who you are.
01:16:17Do they?
01:16:18And I've been summoned before the medical council. What am I to say?
01:16:21I'll come with you.
01:16:22That would be madness. Let me do what I can.
01:16:24I have nothing to fear from them. What can they prove?
01:16:30On our way hands, I have something to tell you.
01:16:33Gentlemen, I deny it absolutely.
01:16:36You deny your name is Frankenstein?
01:16:39Have you ever consulted a street directory, sir?
01:16:42Any street directory for any town in Central Europe?
01:16:44You will find dozens of Frankenstein.
01:16:46I am a Frankenstein.
01:16:48Of course I'd heard of Baron Frankenstein, who created that monster some three years ago.
01:16:52But naturally I didn't wish to set up in practice here handicapped by such a name.
01:16:56And so I changed it.
01:16:57But the resemblance, the uncanny resemblance.
01:17:00This is a monstrous accusation, inspired by jealousy.
01:17:04Baron Frankenstein.
01:17:07Dr. Stein.
01:17:09Dr. Stein.
01:17:11How do you explain that wretched fellow calling you Frankenstein?
01:17:15For the very same reasons as your own, I should imagine.
01:17:19I think a little proof, Mr. President, rather than a lot of gossip, would be advantageous to us all.
01:17:24One moment.
01:17:25Excuse me.
01:17:26I am a busy man.
01:17:27Good day, gentlemen.
01:17:30Dr. Clive, we have not yet questioned you.
01:17:39All right.
01:17:40Open the coffin.
01:17:50It's a priest's hat.
01:17:51Rosary.
01:17:53We were right.
01:17:55Frankenstein is not dead.
01:17:57He asked a proof.
01:17:58Now we have it.
01:17:59Now we have it.
01:18:09You were just about to rule material.
01:18:10To rule material.
01:18:11Come on.
01:18:11Come on.
01:18:12Run.
01:18:13Come on.
01:18:14Come on.
01:18:15Come on.
01:18:16Let's go.
01:18:17I'm here.
01:18:18Go in.
01:18:19How's the head today, Kleiner?
01:18:46Don't lay your bloody hands on me.
01:18:48Don't be a fool, man.
01:18:49I've got to look at it.
01:18:50You heard me.
01:18:51Keep your murdering hands off me, Frankenstein.
01:18:55Yes, that's what I said.
01:18:58Frankenstein.
01:18:59Fugitive from the gallows.
01:19:02Murderer.
01:19:03Mutilator.
01:19:18You heard me.
01:19:19You heard me.
01:19:20You heard me.
01:19:21You heard me.
01:19:22You heard me.
01:19:23You heard me.
01:19:24You heard me.
01:19:25You heard me.
01:19:26You heard me.
01:19:27You heard me.
01:19:28You heard me.
01:19:29You heard me.
01:19:30You heard me.
01:19:31You heard me.
01:19:32You heard me.
01:19:33You heard me.
01:19:34You heard me.
01:19:35You heard me.
01:19:36You heard me.
01:19:37You heard me.
01:19:38You heard me.
01:19:39You heard me.
01:19:40You heard me.
01:19:41You heard me.
01:19:42Doctor? Doctor? They're killing him in there.
01:19:58Killing him? Killing who?
01:20:01Frankenstein.
01:20:12On the bed.
01:20:42Hans, don't talk.
01:20:54It's no good.
01:20:57You know what to do.
01:21:00Yes, I know.
01:21:12You know what to do.
01:21:42You know what to do.
01:22:12You know what to do.
01:22:42What kind of a place is this?
01:23:08I have a warrant for the arrest of Victor Stein.
01:23:11Come here, Inspector.
01:23:12Where is he?
01:23:14This way.
01:23:30What happened?
01:23:32It was his patients at the hospital.
01:23:34They went mad and practically tore him to pieces.
01:23:37I brought him here and operated in the hope of saving his life.
01:23:39Well, the body must be taken and buried in unhallowed ground, as it should have been three years ago.
01:23:47Pray heaven, I've got the skill to do this.
01:23:53Pray heaven, I've got the skill to do this.
01:24:10I've got the skill to do this.
01:24:25you were an excellent pupil Hans this scar will hardly show your next patient is waiting dr. Frank
