00:00:00THE END
00:00:30THE END
00:01:00THE END
00:01:10Oh, the drums.
00:01:16Always little drums.
00:01:19Friends, I shall go mad.
00:01:22There, there, my dear. You must rest.
00:01:46I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
00:01:50You've been so brave, my dear. You must continue to be.
00:01:55If you'll love me some, kill me. Kill me now.
00:02:00Remember, Martha. You have another life to think of beside your own.
00:02:05Then go for help. With your knowledge of the jungle, you'll get through.
00:02:10You forget, Martha. I can't leave you now. You'll need a doctor soon.
00:02:34How much longer will it be? Why don't they attack?
00:02:38I'd rather they'd kill us and get it over with.
00:02:40Study, France.
00:02:42The natives will never attack us here.
00:02:44Why, doctor? Why?
00:02:46They're afraid. Of us?
00:02:47No, of this place. This cave is infested with bats.
00:02:51Bats? Are they afraid of bats?
00:02:53Vampire bats. Do they believe in that silly superstition?
00:02:57It is no superstition, my friend. It's true.
00:03:00The natives call them birds and fear them mightily as well they may.
00:03:08These hideous monsters swoop down upon their victims in the night.
00:03:12They fasten themselves to the throat and drink the blood.
00:03:18Do they have to?
00:03:19Awww!
00:03:20Awww!
00:03:22Awww!
00:03:23Awww!
00:03:24Awww!
00:03:25Awww!
00:03:28Awww!
00:03:29Awww!
00:03:31Bataahaww!
00:03:32Awww!
00:03:34Oh, my God.
00:04:04It's Jamba, Doctor.
00:04:11Just like Frieda.
00:04:19And drained of blood he is.
00:04:22Just like the other.
00:04:25What manner of a monster could this be?
00:04:28Oh, that!
00:04:30What?
00:04:30Here comes the good professor.
00:04:36He can help us if anyone can.
00:04:49The terror again, Professor Christon.
00:04:52Janva?
00:04:58Yes.
00:04:59You found him in the cave.
00:05:16Like Frieda.
00:05:18He is the same?
00:05:19Yes.
00:05:20The throat torn open too.
00:05:23Gene Handel says the monster is a bat.
00:05:25The larger one than we've ever seen.
00:05:28True, good doctor, true.
00:05:30But still, a bat, some huge and loathsome thing.
00:05:36It fastens to their throats.
00:05:37It drags them to the caves.
00:05:40Then what else but a bat that only sees at night?
00:05:45Can they be right?
00:05:47Of course not.
00:05:48Tell them, sir.
00:05:49No bat could tear their throats as if with teeth and drag their bodies to the cave.
00:05:53There are stranger things upon this earth than you could know of, David.
00:05:57What?
00:05:57What a vampire would attack like this?
00:06:01Then you both believe that this monster is a bat?
00:06:05If one could be so large, then I say yes.
00:06:08And you, sir?
00:06:10It is strange.
00:06:12It never happens in the light.
00:06:15It is not yet given to us to know whether or not this monster is a bat, but of one thing
00:06:25we are sure, that both these hideous things have happened after dark.
00:06:31Until this dreadful thing is caught, shun the dark, for no reason leave your homes when dusk has fallen.
00:06:41It is not yet even worse.
00:06:43It is not yet.
00:06:43It is not yet.
00:06:44It is not yet.
00:06:45It is not yet, but it is not yet.
00:06:46It is not yet.
00:06:46It is not yet, but you are still alive.
00:06:47Give this monster no opportunity, and you are safe.
00:06:53Now, go to your homes and guard yourselves with light.
00:07:17That would be for gentlemen.
00:07:22Mother Molly.
00:07:46Oh, it's you, my child.
00:07:50I'm that vexed by this time of day.
00:07:53What with the townsfolk trooping in and out.
00:07:55Muddy boots on my clean floors.
00:07:58And us liable to be murdered in our beds.
00:08:01Have they found what did it?
00:08:03They have not, and unless they do, there'll be another.
00:08:06Mark my words.
00:08:08Little Frida last week.
00:08:10Janival last night.
00:08:12Oh, Mother Molly, it's horrible.
00:08:14Horrible it is.
00:08:16What's in the basket?
00:08:20Roses for my garden.
00:08:22Fresh lavender for your linens.
00:08:24And plum preserves for your table.
00:08:26The professor's table, you mean?
00:08:29You'll make him a good wife, Marguerite.
00:08:32The professor is blessed.
00:08:34Oh, I hope so.
00:08:36I want to be a good wife.
00:08:38But, but the professor's so good, so...
00:08:41Oh, Mother Molly, do you think I'll ever be like that?
00:08:44The professor lives for the poor, my child.
00:08:47The poor in spirit as well.
00:08:49But these ingrates take advantage of his goodness.
00:08:52If I hadn't made a rule that they couldn't come before this hour,
00:08:55I'd have them underfoot all day.
00:08:57With muddy boots?
00:08:59But surely now something must be done.
00:09:02There's not a problem that isn't brought to him.
00:09:04Which cow to buy.
00:09:06How to make up with their sweet arse.
00:09:08They even ask him when to kiss their wife.
00:09:11And that's what comes of being wise and good.
00:09:15Do you think he told himself to marry me?
00:09:17That's wisdom, too.
00:09:20But these townsfolk and their problems fill his days.
00:09:24He has to write his books by candlelight.
00:09:27I really fear for him sometimes he gets so tired
00:09:31that after you are wed, you'll make him rest.
00:09:35I'll try.
00:09:37David says a saint needs no rest.
00:09:39You're very fond of David, aren't you, child?
00:09:42Why, yes, of course.
00:09:45Naturally.
00:09:46I've known him ever since we were children.
00:09:48I understand.
00:09:50But remember, child, it's better to marry safely.
00:09:55Of course.
00:09:56That is, I'm very proud of the honor Professor Criston has done me.
00:10:03They're beginning to arrive.
00:10:05Taking advantage of the professor's goodness.
00:10:08Tiring him all up.
00:10:10Well, wipe your feet and come in.
00:10:14Hurry up.
00:10:15Don't let all the flies in.
00:10:27Not in the book chair.
00:10:28Over there, on the bench.
00:10:30Are you very busy?
00:10:45When you're here, never.
00:10:49Come sit down.
00:10:51It was nice of you to come to see me.
00:10:53I brought you some flowers.
00:10:58How like you?
00:11:00To bring them.
00:11:01You know what I mean.
00:11:03You're like your flowers, Marguerite.
00:11:06It's a very pretty speech, Professor Criston.
00:11:10When are you going to call me Paul?
00:11:13I mean to Paul, but somehow I forget.
00:11:16You see, you're a very important person.
00:11:20And you're a very young one.
00:11:22I'm not a child.
00:11:24My tapestry won the prize at the fair.
00:11:26And pride goeth before a fall.
00:11:30Oh.
00:11:33What is it, then?
00:11:34I have only just returned, Master.
00:11:44I wanted you to know that I'm here.
00:11:47I'm sorry I was startled, Zan.
00:11:50I didn't mean to frighten you, Miss Marguerite.
00:11:52Would you put these flowers in water, Zan?
00:11:55They're lovely.
00:11:57You may have one, Zan.
00:11:59I brought them to Professor Criston.
00:12:02Thank you, Miss Marguerite.
00:12:14Marguerite.
00:12:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:12:17Truly I am.
00:12:18But he frightens me so.
00:12:20He's... he's hideous.
00:12:22Beauty or ugliness is only of the soul, Marguerite.
00:12:26I know.
00:12:28But after all these...
00:12:30Zan has devoted his life to me.
00:12:32Would give it for me joyfully.
00:12:33That isn't ugliness.
00:12:35You saved his life.
00:12:37He feels it belongs to you.
00:12:39Gratitude is beauty.
00:12:43Forgive me.
00:12:44Try not to be afraid of him.
00:12:46We can never be afraid of what we love.
00:12:48If we love our brother, how can we fear him?
00:12:51I know.
00:12:53I'll try.
00:12:55I must go now.
00:12:57Father isn't very well.
00:12:59Don't worry, dear.
00:13:01The doctor told me not to worry, but somehow I can't help it.
00:13:04Come and see him later if you can.
00:13:06Your visits help him so.
00:13:08I will.
00:13:12Goodbye, Marguerite.
00:13:15Goodbye, Paul.
00:13:35I'll see you later.
00:13:36I'll see you later.
00:13:41Can't you see, David?
00:13:43There isn't anything to be done.
00:13:45But you don't love him, Marguerite.
00:13:47Oh, but I do, David, I do.
00:13:48You mustn't say that.
00:13:50He's so good and kind and generous.
00:13:56I know that.
00:13:58You don't have to praise Professor Christon to me.
00:14:00I think he's wonderful.
00:14:01But that isn't love.
00:14:03You respect and admire him and even revere him.
00:14:06But that isn't enough to marry for.
00:14:10I am honored the professor has chosen me, David.
00:14:13And I'm going to try and be worthy of him.
00:14:15A good wife.
00:14:17You'll be a good wife.
00:14:19You'll bake your bread and sew your seams
00:14:21and keep your copper polished.
00:14:23Please.
00:14:24I'd better go.
00:14:29David!
00:14:30That's love, Marguerite.
00:14:32Don't be frightened.
00:14:33Don't you see that you can't help loving me any more
00:14:35than I can stop loving you?
00:14:37Oh, don't you see we can't let this happen to us?
00:14:39Oh, I mustn't listen to you, David.
00:14:40It's wrong and wicked.
00:14:42I'm betrothed to Professor Christon.
00:14:45Anyway, it's too late.
00:14:46The bans have already been published and father would never retract.
00:14:50Besides, the honor is too great.
00:14:53I know.
00:14:54And I have nothing to offer.
00:14:56Even if you weren't betrothed, your father would never consent.
00:14:59He's hardly more than civil when we meet.
00:15:00Oh, you mustn't think that, David.
00:15:02Father isn't well.
00:15:04And then this dreadful bat preys on his mind.
00:15:07A bat.
00:15:08These superstitious fools.
00:15:10What do you think it is?
00:15:12I don't know.
00:15:14But I'm sure it's not a bat.
00:15:15I should be with father now.
00:15:18I've stayed far too long.
00:15:20Goodbye, David.
00:15:22Reach home before it does.
00:15:23The doctor said no.
00:15:24But I wanted to be sure you agreed with him, Professor.
00:15:26Oh, of course I do.
00:15:27The doctor knows his business.
00:15:28Oh, they're steady now.
00:15:29Here.
00:15:31Wouldn't do to drop him, you know.
00:15:32I'm all right.
00:15:33I'm going to leave.
00:15:34I can't wait.
00:15:35I can't wait.
00:15:36But I can't wait.
00:15:37But I can't wait.
00:15:38I'm going to leave.
00:15:39I mean, we're going to have a seat.
00:15:40We're going to have a seat.
00:15:41The doctor says no.
00:15:42But I wanted to be sure you agreed with him, Professor.
00:15:45Of course I do.
00:15:47The doctor knows his business.
00:15:49They're steady now.
00:15:50Here.
00:15:56It wouldn't do to drop him, you know.
00:15:59all right. It's just that I didn't sleep all night. He was so sick. Well, I'll help you
00:16:05home with him. No, you won't, Professor. You're tired. I'll take them home. Wait here while
00:16:10I get my shawl and lantern. Good evening, Professor Christon. Good evening, Maria. Maria, didn't
00:16:18I tell you to wait outside for me? Mother, please. May I not show Professor Christon my
00:16:25school papers? Why, of course, Maria. Here, give them to me. Oh, well, that's fine, Maria.
00:16:34You're making great improvement. That is because of your help, Professor Christon. And you
00:16:41see, my writing looks almost like yours. Much better than mine, my dear. Because I'm ready.
00:16:48Oh, you're so good, Professor. I'm glad to be of service, my dear. Come, Maria.
00:17:03Goodbye, Professor Christon. Goodbye, Maria. Don't forget to look at my papers. I'll do it right
00:17:08away.
00:17:38Goodbye, across the long way.
00:17:49Goodbye, Dr. Godfrey.
00:20:42What's wrong, my friend?
00:20:44Katrina Malinat.
00:20:45She's missing from her bed.
00:20:46Her mother heard her scream.
00:20:47No, you don't think...
00:20:50Oh, yes, Mr. Bat.
00:20:51He's got Katrina.
00:20:52I know it.
00:20:53I know it.
00:20:54What shall we do?
00:20:56Quick, to the caves.
00:20:58It may not be too late.
00:20:59To the caves.
00:20:59To the caves.
00:21:00Look.
00:21:01Down there.
00:21:06Look.
00:21:08Down there.
00:21:10Katrina.
00:21:22Look.
00:21:27Down there.
00:21:29Katrina.
00:21:30Katrina.
00:21:31Katrina.
00:21:32Katrina.
00:21:34Katrina.
00:21:36Another victim of the monster.
00:21:52Another victim of the monster.
00:22:04Which of us will be next?
00:22:05Surely there's a curse upon us all.
00:22:07You superstitious fools with your talk of monsters and bats.
00:22:11There is no bat large enough to carry a human body to the caves.
00:22:14What else then, David?
00:22:15A man.
00:22:16He could even be one of us.
00:22:18Someone we might least suspect.
00:22:19No.
00:22:20It's a bat.
00:22:21I know it.
00:22:22Oh, you know it.
00:22:23Perhaps you've seen it then.
00:22:24Have you?
00:22:25No.
00:22:26No, never, never.
00:22:27But the master says it is a bat.
00:22:29A monster.
00:22:30A monster.
00:22:31Yes.
00:22:32A human monster.
00:22:33Master.
00:22:34David there thinks the monster is a human.
00:22:36That it may be one of us.
00:22:37Tell him that it isn't true.
00:22:38Why, David.
00:22:40Professor Criston is right.
00:22:42Come, Sam.
00:22:44Let us go home.
00:22:50Neighbors.
00:22:51Neighbors.
00:22:52Let us not submit like cattle to these murders.
00:22:55Instead of running home as soon as the sun is down,
00:22:57let us remain on guard throughout the night.
00:22:59That we may catch this killer and destroy him.
00:23:02Who will volunteer to watch with me?
00:23:04Not I, David.
00:23:05I can guard my family better at home.
00:23:08Yes, I remain in doors with lights.
00:23:10You're right.
00:23:11Let us go to our homes.
00:23:32So many candles, good woman.
00:23:35With a monster abroad, sir,
00:23:37light is our only protection.
00:23:39A monster, you say?
00:23:41I do.
00:23:42A monster bat,
00:23:43which swoops down upon its prey in the dark
00:23:47and leaves great gaping holes in their throats.
00:23:51Come closer.
00:23:52I'll stay here.
00:23:54Could you stay, say, over there just as well?
00:23:59I could.
00:24:06That's better.
00:24:08Now what is this old wife's tale?
00:24:10No tale it is, sir, but the truth.
00:24:13Within a fortnight, three of our townsfolk
00:24:16have fallen prey to this very thing.
00:24:19And so, the light?
00:24:22It never happens in the light.
00:24:28I see.
00:24:34Anders!
00:24:36Paul!
00:24:37My dear, dear friend.
00:24:39You haven't changed a bit.
00:24:42Nor you, after all these years.
00:24:45Oh, you come in troublous times, my friend.
00:24:48So this good woman has been telling me.
00:24:50Oh, this is my housekeeper, Mother Molly.
00:24:53And this is Dr. Bizet, Mother Molly.
00:24:55My foster father and my very best friend.
00:24:59Then I leave you in good company
00:25:01while I prepare a room for Dr. Bizet.
00:25:04Well, here, sit down and let us talk.
00:25:08What brings you here?
00:25:13You wrote of your betrothal?
00:25:15Of course I came.
00:25:16Well, I'm glad you've come.
00:25:18I need you, Anders.
00:25:20So?
00:25:22I've had a curious malady of late.
00:25:25Which is?
00:25:26I don't know.
00:25:27Strange headaches.
00:25:29Followed by vagueness and exhaustion.
00:25:34Well, enough of my small woes
00:25:39when we are besieged by tragedies.
00:25:41These murders?
00:25:43All unaccounted for.
00:25:45I'm not jesting when I tell you
00:25:47that the villagers fear a monstrous bat.
00:25:52The old superstition.
00:25:54A vampire bat.
00:25:56Oh, well, there's time enough for that.
00:25:59Now, ale!
00:26:01Here.
00:26:02Here.
00:26:03Here.
00:26:04Allow him.
00:26:11To our reunion.
00:26:19You couldn't help but love her, Anders.
00:26:21Her beauty of face is a true reflection of her soul.
00:26:25Then that must be Marguerite.
00:26:27Surely no one was ever more beautiful.
00:26:32It is.
00:26:38Professor Christiane!
00:26:41My dear.
00:26:46This is Dr. Deezay, Marguerite.
00:26:47My foster father and my good friend.
00:26:49Oh, and this is David, Marguerite's childhood schoolmate.
00:26:55Paul has told me the truth about you, my child.
00:26:58I confess I doubted him until I saw you.
00:27:02My father will be glad to see you both.
00:27:04You'll have some refreshments, of course.
00:27:06Marguerite, I must go.
00:27:08David, after your long walk, he carried my heavy basket all the way.
00:27:14And besides, you said you had the whole afternoon.
00:27:17I did.
00:27:18Till now.
00:27:19It's well to reach your home before dusk.
00:27:21I do not fear a bat, sir.
00:27:23Indeed.
00:27:24Then what do you think this monster is?
00:27:26A fiend.
00:27:27Playing upon the village superstitions.
00:27:29I see.
00:27:34Perhaps you're nearer right.
00:27:37Good day.
00:27:38Good day, Professor.
00:27:39Sir.
00:27:44Marguerite, your father.
00:27:46He's feeling more himself today.
00:27:48Do you think it could be those dreadful tragedies that are preying on his mind?
00:27:53Perhaps.
00:27:55I only wish I could keep you from worrying about him.
00:28:00Professor Tipton is here, Father.
00:28:03And this is his friend, Dr. Bizet.
00:28:05I am honored, Doctor.
00:28:06And I.
00:28:07You'll have some cordial?
00:28:09Your own?
00:28:10Of course.
00:28:12Some cordial, John.
00:28:13And some of those fresh cakes.
00:28:15Yes, ma'am.
00:28:16Marguerite's cordial is the best in the village.
00:28:18You are blessed in having such a daughter, sir.
00:28:21I hear you also raise the most perfect roses, Miss Marguerite.
00:28:25Oh, I assure you it's quite by accident, Dr. Bizet.
00:28:28I tend them daily, and as for the rest, they just grow.
00:28:32But surely I may see these marvelous accidents?
00:28:35Of course.
00:28:36I'll show you my garden if you wish.
00:28:38I should be grateful.
00:28:39Will you join us?
00:28:40Later, my dear.
00:28:42Marguerite is worried about you.
00:28:52I know.
00:28:53The doctors told me I haven't long to live.
00:28:56The knowledge makes me restless.
00:28:59And Marguerite?
00:29:02Marguerite must not know.
00:29:09And of course you love Paul, deeply.
00:29:12Oh, of course.
00:29:13That is, I worship Professor Christon.
00:29:17Paul, I mean.
00:29:18He's such a great, good, wonderful man.
00:29:22Oh, I will make him a good wife, Dr. Bizet.
00:29:25And I'll try so hard to, to live up to him.
00:29:28I don't think you'll have to try, my child.
00:29:31Like these flowers of yours, you can't help but reflect goodness and beauty.
00:29:37But I do have to...
00:29:38That in itself is goodness.
00:29:57See the wind?
00:29:59The bats abroad tonight.
00:30:01You won't need his huge wings in all this flow.
00:30:04Watch Beans has an ague each time a candle flickers.
00:30:08I, you have a lying tongue in you, Anna.
00:30:12I'm not afraid.
00:30:15It is well to be afraid,
00:30:17when the devil hath spewed such a loathsome creature as this upon us.
00:30:21Well, I'm not afraid, I tell you.
00:30:28You're right, old woman.
00:30:30It is ungodly not to be afraid.
00:30:34Well, the mistress wants you in her room.
00:30:43Then you think that Marguerite doesn't love me?
00:30:45Nothing of the sort.
00:30:47The child loves you devotedly.
00:30:50She worships you.
00:30:52You're a kind of God to her, to be lived up to, to be worthy of.
00:30:56I suggested that she is not in love with you.
00:30:59The difference is vast.
00:31:02But if you're right, why hasn't she told me?
00:31:06Do you think her capable of hurting anyone?
00:31:09Above all, her idol?
00:31:11Besides, it's just possible the child doesn't know the difference.
00:31:16Understand me, Paul.
00:31:18I may be entirely wrong.
00:31:20I simply wanted you to be alert to a fact you may not have realized.
00:31:36Talk to the child.
00:31:38She's incapable of dissimulation.
00:31:41You'll know.
00:31:50...
00:32:10That will do, Anna.
00:32:11That means just...
00:32:12That will do?
00:32:14Oh, forgive me, Anna.
00:32:15I'm sorry.
00:32:16I'm upset, and restless.
00:32:18Oh, I feel this is something dreadful going to happen.
00:32:21There, there, mistress. We are all bolted in with Cairnsburg.
00:32:24What can happen?
00:32:26I know. I guess I'm silly.
00:32:30But I'm so worried about my father.
00:32:45It's not going out, Professor Christon.
00:32:47To Margaret's, Mother Molly.
00:32:51Do you think I'll be safe with her?
00:32:53All her goodness couldn't keep that away.
00:32:55But you need light.
00:32:56A full moon.
00:32:57But you walk through the wood.
00:32:59True. I'll take a lantern.
00:33:01Must you go tonight?
00:33:02Yes, Mother Molly.
00:33:03Now, keep the house well lit.
00:33:06The devil himself couldn't keep me from doing that.
00:33:17That's, Mother Molly.
00:33:19I'm going to go ahead.
00:33:21I'm going to go ahead.
00:33:22Again.
00:33:23I'm going to go ahead.
00:33:24I'm going to go ahead and go ahead.
00:33:25I'm gonna make the wheel.
00:33:26I'm gonna go ahead and go ahead and go ahead.
00:34:58Marguerite.
00:35:00You fear for the professor?
00:35:02I do.
00:35:04Quick, a lantern.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:06Okay.
00:35:07Let's go.
00:35:37Don't be frightened.
00:35:47It's just the wind.
00:35:53Anna, it's father.
00:35:55Hurry, let him in.
00:36:07Professor, you're done.
00:36:19I thought it was.
00:36:28Anna, father.
00:36:32Anna, what is it?
00:36:34Who's free?
00:36:35What's happened?
00:36:42Miss Marguerite.
00:36:44I'm here.
00:36:46What's happened?
00:36:47We don't know.
00:36:55Look.
00:36:58Anna.
00:36:59The bat.
00:37:13Bring some water.
00:37:15Yes.
00:37:15There, master.
00:37:29There.
00:37:30Now lean on me.
00:37:31Is he hurt?
00:37:32No.
00:37:34What happened?
00:37:36He swooned, master.
00:37:38You were with him?
00:37:39I saw him leave.
00:37:41I feared for him.
00:37:42I followed.
00:37:43And then?
00:37:44The lantern went out.
00:37:45He was unconscious.
00:37:46I have only now succeeded in restoring him.
00:37:48Yes, I remember.
00:37:51The lantern went out.
00:37:54It was dark.
00:37:55Dark, you say?
00:37:57Yes.
00:37:59Very dark.
00:38:00I can't remember anymore.
00:38:05You swooned, master.
00:38:07We are near Marguerite's house.
00:38:09Can you walk?
00:38:11Then come.
00:38:11Come quickly.
00:38:16What happened?
00:38:17We heard a scream, sir, and found her like this.
00:38:20And Marguerite?
00:38:21She's unhurt, sir.
00:38:22She swooned when she saw this.
00:38:24This was like the other victims.
00:38:54But, doctor, do you really believe it could have been a bat?
00:39:01What else?
00:39:03I saw a figure gliding away in the dark.
00:39:07And David was right.
00:39:10The monster is a man.
00:39:13That last night was the fourth of these hideous tragedies.
00:39:31I beg you, my friends, for my sake, for the sake of those who love you.
00:39:39Yes, even for the sake of this hideous, evil-ridden fiend.
00:39:44Guard yourselves constantly.
00:39:47Burn every candle, every lamp you possess, through every minute of the dark.
00:39:52Stand on guard.
00:39:54Hold your doors.
00:39:55Don't move outside your homes.
00:39:57And, of all, don't for an instant be without a light.
00:40:06Now, go to your homes and pray.
00:40:15How's Marguerite?
00:40:16The shop did her no good.
00:40:18I was afraid to bring her.
00:40:20And you?
00:40:21Oh, all right.
00:40:24Then hurry home to Marguerite and stay with her.
00:40:26Every instant, the professor means.
00:40:29Don't leave her alone with anyone.
00:40:32Anyone at all.
00:40:34Do you understand?
00:40:36I have your promise.
00:40:38I shan't leave her.
00:40:40With no one at all.
00:40:42I understand, Dr. Brzee.
00:40:46Good.
00:40:49What's the matter?
00:40:50I saw him.
00:40:51The fiend, he's there in the shadow.
00:40:54He's dancing.
00:40:55I'm coming to the fiend.
00:40:56Evil.
00:40:57Evil.
00:40:57After him there.
00:40:58Yes.
00:40:58There's your fiend, Professor Christon Zan.
00:41:15Yes, your screams carried him away.
00:41:17Master.
00:41:18You have nothing to fear from Zan.
00:41:21To your homes, my friends.
00:41:24Come, my son.
00:41:28Perhaps the woman wasn't so wrong.
00:41:36Three killings there were near the professor's house.
00:41:39And Zan was at Marguerite's last night.
00:41:41What good could there be on a hunchback?
00:41:43But if he weren't good, the professor wouldn't have it.
00:41:46How'd he know?
00:41:47Oh, the professor's so good himself, he wouldn't believe it anyway.
00:41:52He was near every crime.
00:41:58Don't you see?
00:42:01I don't know where I was.
00:42:04In a swoon, yes.
00:42:06But it's incredibly odd that I was unconscious during every one of these crimes.
00:42:11These headaches.
00:42:13What are they?
00:42:15Why do they come on me?
00:42:18Last night, then, tell me.
00:42:21Tell me.
00:42:22Unconscious, master.
00:42:23Yes, but not that I do.
00:42:26Tell me!
00:42:27You laid it on the ground, but I tried to revive you.
00:42:30From the moment I swooned?
00:42:32You swear?
00:42:34I do, master.
00:42:36On that holy book?
00:42:40I swear, master.
00:42:49Until this malady has passed, Anders,
00:42:51I cannot marry Marguerite.
00:42:54You're right, Pawn.
00:42:58You must tell her.
00:43:00Tonight.
00:43:01While your mind is made up.
00:43:03No, no, no, master.
00:43:04Don't go.
00:43:04Why not?
00:43:05The fiend.
00:43:06He may be abroad.
00:43:07Your master doesn't fear the fiend.
00:43:11Go, my friend.
00:43:13Release the girl.
00:43:14The light must not go out.
00:43:43Why do you follow him?
00:43:44I fear for him.
00:43:45The fiend.
00:43:46You lied.
00:43:47You lied upon that book.
00:43:49You were not with him every moment in the woods.
00:43:51The truth, man.
00:43:52You must tell me the truth.
00:43:59I have sworn.
00:44:02I beg you, David, not to do this.
00:44:04They must know.
00:44:06Loving me, you cannot wed the professor.
00:44:07I haven't said so.
00:44:09There's no need.
00:44:10We know.
00:44:10My father must return in a moment.
00:44:14Oh, please, David, wait a little while.
00:44:17Marguerite, you're in danger.
00:44:18I know it.
00:44:19I can feel it.
00:44:20My place is by your side to watch over you, protect you.
00:44:24Oh, Marguerite, I'm afraid to leave you alone.
00:44:29My father.
00:44:30Oh, David, I beg you, if you love me, go.
00:44:33All right.
00:44:56Thank you, my child.
00:44:57You seem worried, Marguerite.
00:45:05What is it?
00:45:08Oh, father.
00:45:10Oh, that's all right.
00:45:13You lie, I say.
00:45:14All lies.
00:45:15Without his light, you couldn't find him in the woods.
00:45:18You were not together.
00:45:19Mama, I must be with him.
00:45:20Why?
00:45:21Tell me why.
00:45:22The truth, man.
00:45:24Now is the time to tell it.
00:45:25I must know.
00:45:27I want to help you, fool.
00:45:30But before I can, I must know.
00:45:32But, master, please.
00:45:33What do you fear for him?
00:45:35If you are the monster, your master is safe from you.
00:45:39If he is the fiend, he can fear nothing from himself.
00:45:42No, no, don't say such things.
00:45:45Then, then it's true.
00:45:48And you, you knew.
00:45:51You, my poor, forsaken friend.
00:46:00Not forsaken, sir.
00:46:04True.
00:46:06Not forsaken.
00:46:09When did you first know?
00:46:12Frida.
00:46:14She was passing near the house.
00:46:16I heard her scream.
00:46:17Then I saw my master.
00:46:25I, myself, carried her body to the caves.
00:46:29Then I brought him here.
00:46:31He never knew he'd risen from his bed.
00:46:33And then?
00:46:35After that, I followed every move.
00:46:40But it was always my mischance to be too late.
00:46:42What about the young woman, Katrina?
00:46:46You say, again, I was too late.
00:46:51You can cure him, Dr. Bizet.
00:46:53Take him away.
00:46:54Tonight.
00:46:55New places, new faces.
00:46:57Rest in your good care.
00:46:59No one here will ever know.
00:47:02We'll decide that when he returns.
00:47:05We shouldn't have let him go.
00:47:06I feared that Paul might be the fiend.
00:47:11The boy was marked at birth.
00:47:13But he had to release Marguerite from her promise.
00:47:17But, Miss Marguerite, do you not fear for her?
00:47:20Her father has given me his oath.
00:47:22He would not leave her.
00:47:24Still, I fear we should be with my master.
00:47:28Yes, yes, come.
00:47:29Come.
00:47:29Come.
00:47:36You may be delayed.
00:47:48I'll go on.
00:47:50Yes.
00:47:57What is it, my friends?
00:47:59We think we know who the fiend is.
00:48:01We must see the professor.
00:48:02He is not here.
00:48:04He is at Marguerite's house.
00:48:05And then?
00:48:06There, too.
00:48:21Father, I wish you'd tell me what's worrying you.
00:48:26Perhaps I should.
00:48:32I'll go.
00:48:36Oh, Paul.
00:48:43Good evening, sir.
00:48:44Come in.
00:48:47Oh, Marguerite.
00:48:48Professor Christian.
00:48:49John.
00:48:50Dear child.
00:48:58You're just in time.
00:48:59Father was going to tell me something.
00:49:01Oh, let that go now.
00:49:02You have happier things to think about.
00:49:05You're not leaving us.
00:49:07Of course.
00:49:08I'd rather you stayed.
00:49:12Remember your oath to Anders.
00:49:14Why, that couldn't include you.
00:49:20Perhaps it's as well.
00:49:22We are well-lighted.
00:49:25And what I have to say is only for you.
00:49:28Please.
00:49:44Marguerite.
00:49:44Lately, a strange malady has possessed me.
00:49:50Something I can't explain.
00:49:53Nor has my good friend as yet uncovered it.
00:49:55What have you done?
00:50:03Relight it instantly.
00:50:05But I have no tapers.
00:50:09What is it?
00:50:10What's wrong?
00:50:12I only thought to spare your eyes.
00:50:14Forgive me.
00:50:28I'm not quite myself.
00:50:30It was kind of you to blow it out.
00:50:40Your headaches?
00:50:41Unbearably at times.
00:50:45It's the malady of which I spoke.
00:50:47The pain becomes so great.
00:50:50Sometimes I swoon and am unconscious for a while.
00:50:53I'm sorry, Professor.
00:50:55Paul.
00:50:57But after we're married, I'll take such good care of you that these spells will disappear.
00:51:02That's what I came to say, my dear.
00:51:04There'll be no marriage till this malady is cured.
00:51:07But why?
00:51:08I couldn't burden you with so much care.
00:51:12I love you too well, Marguerite.
00:51:14That's no care.
00:51:16I'd be grateful for the chance to serve you, even in so small a thing.
00:51:21Serve me?
00:51:23Of course you would, my child.
00:51:26But you see, I can't accept.
00:51:27I release you from your promise.
00:51:32Until you're well?
00:51:34Until I'm well.
00:51:37I pray it won't be long.
00:51:40Whatever happens, will you remember this?
00:51:43I love you, Marguerite.
00:51:46Stop!
00:51:48You foolish child.
00:52:04You don't know what to do.
00:52:05But it was torturing your eyes.
00:52:06I'll get tapers.
00:52:08All the lights must be lit.
00:52:09I feel fear of being a candle still burns.
00:52:12And the moon makes the room bright as day.
00:52:15There's even a fire.
00:52:16It's out.
00:52:27No matter.
00:52:28See how bright the room is.
00:52:30And besides, how could I be afraid when I'm with you?
00:52:34Marguerite, I haven't told you all.
00:52:40I'm afraid.
00:52:43Afraid.
00:52:44Of the monster?
00:52:45No.
00:52:47For the monster.
00:52:57I'm afraid.
00:52:59I am the fiend.
00:53:04Oh, you are ill to talk that way.
00:53:09No, it's worse than that.
00:53:12I don't know what I did last night.
00:53:14Until Zan found me in the wood.
00:53:17What does Zan say?
00:53:19He swore he saw me fall.
00:53:22And was with me every minute.
00:53:24Well, surely that proves...
00:53:26He may have lied.
00:53:28He didn't lie.
00:53:30It's only your illness that makes you think these dreadful thoughts.
00:53:34Do you really think so?
00:53:39If I only knew.
00:53:41If I only could be sure.
00:53:43You shall know.
00:53:49I'll prove it to you.
00:53:53Marguerite, what have you done?
00:53:55The monster cannot kill with light.
00:53:58Sit down, Paul.
00:54:00Here in the dark with me.
00:54:02And soon you'll know you're not the fiend.
00:54:07My head.
00:54:10It's odd it should be worse.
00:54:12Without the lights.
00:54:14Lie back and rest.
00:54:21I'm afraid.
00:54:22Marguerite.
00:54:23No need to be.
00:54:33Marguerite.
00:54:35It's growing dark.
00:54:38Only a cloud crossing the moon.
00:54:43A light.
00:54:45Quick.
00:54:46A light.
00:54:47Rest still.
00:54:49It will soon pass.
00:54:50My head.
00:54:53A light.
00:54:55A light.
00:54:57Paul.
00:54:58Mike.
00:55:20Get to the light.
00:55:22Marguerite.
00:55:24Is she hurt?
00:55:25She's unharmed.
00:55:26Bring it over here.
00:55:29Right here.
00:55:31There he is.
00:55:32It's he, the fiend.
00:55:33He attacked the professor.
00:55:34He stayed with his blood.
00:55:35His silence proves his guilt.
00:55:43So get in.
00:55:44Get in there.
00:55:45Get in there.
00:55:46Get in there.
00:55:47Get in there.
00:55:54There he goes.
00:55:55Get in there.
00:56:05He'll soon come to.
00:56:07What happened here?
00:56:08I heard her scream and I rushed in.
00:56:09From where?
00:56:10You swore not to leave her.
00:56:11She was with Professor Christophe.
00:56:14Were you here?
00:56:15I was outside.
00:56:16I feared for Marguerite and waited on the terrace.
00:56:25The monster held me fast.
00:56:26I felt his bare teeth against my throat.
00:56:28I screamed and as I did,
00:56:30Zan came through that window.
00:56:31How can you be sure?
00:56:32Outside was lighter than it was in the room.
00:56:35I couldn't mistake his limping crooked form.
00:56:36It was the last thing I remember before I swooned.
00:56:38Then who?
00:56:39Who was the fiend?
00:56:40I...
00:56:41I don't know.
00:56:42David, go.
00:56:43Zan must be saved.
00:56:44David, go.
00:56:45Zan must be saved.
00:56:46David, go.
00:56:47Zan must be saved.
00:56:50He is coming too.
00:56:51Will you be good enough to leave us?
00:56:52Will you be good enough to leave us?
00:56:55It's...
00:56:56Oh...
00:56:57J-
00:57:17Oh...
00:57:18There he goes! He's headed for the cave!
00:57:20We'll grab him there! Come on, man!
00:57:36Oh, Anders!
00:57:38Anders, what is it?
00:57:42I... I swooned.
00:57:44The fiend attacked Marguerite.
00:57:48Is she hurt?
00:57:50No, she was saved in time.
00:57:54Anders, was it I...
00:58:05Anders, tell me.
00:58:08Tell me the truth.
00:58:12I will.
00:58:14It started nearly 40 years ago, Paul, in the darkest depths of Africa.
00:58:22The only white people were your parents and my dearest friend, Dr. Dupre.
00:58:28A monstrous bat had fastened to your mother's throat.
00:58:42They beat it off, but the harm is already done.
00:58:46You were born that night, Paul.
00:58:52Condemned to live.
00:58:58It was Dr. Dupre who buried your parents, and a few years later, told me all.
00:59:04Before he died, he entrusted you to my care.
00:59:08He warned me to watch for your deadly mark.
00:59:12But you grew normally, and when manhood was reached, the danger seemed past.
00:59:18Then why...
00:59:20Why has it come upon me now?
00:59:24Exhaustion, overworked.
00:59:26And if I'm not cured, I'll go on and on.
00:59:32The attacks will come closer and closer together.
00:59:42Until you will entirely become the loathsome thing your madness makes you.
00:59:51Isn't it strange they never caught me?
00:59:56Not strange at all.
00:59:58Your faithful Zan knew from the first and protected you.
01:00:02Even now, he's led them off to give you an opportunity to escape.
01:00:06Escape?
01:00:08After what I've done?
01:00:15But Anders...
01:00:17Zan is in danger.
01:00:19We must go to him.
01:00:21Come.
01:00:26Dr. Pizet can cure my master's malady.
01:00:34I pray thee, save him.
01:00:37Save my master.
01:00:47Zan is!
01:00:48Zan is!
01:00:49Zan is!
01:00:50Zan is!
01:00:51Zan is!
01:00:52Zan is!
01:00:53Zan is!
01:00:55Zan is!
01:00:56ì‚°!
01:00:57Zan!
01:00:58Wow, it's fairly lazy!
01:00:59Rose!
01:01:00He sounds dead!
01:01:01He soundsISA ezag!
01:01:02Zan.
01:01:04How are you doing right?
01:01:05dust!
01:01:06He's living here.
01:01:07Follow me who makes your idol, he will put a knife in the ent��� grog Joe and blood.
01:01:09No, you'll never let him die so its head.
01:01:10To the ar conditional forever!
01:01:11Leave him out!
01:01:12We'll hang him in the square!
01:01:13No!
01:01:14Feel him in the cave!
01:01:15And let him rot!
01:01:16But we can't see him rot!
01:01:17Ah…
01:01:18But we could watch him burn!
01:01:19Zan!
01:01:20What the cram?
01:01:21Wait.
01:01:22Wait, wait!
01:01:23Wait!
01:01:24We've got the fiend!
01:01:25The fiend already had Marguerite by the throat.
01:01:27No, that isn't true.
01:01:29David, you're mad.
01:01:30Yes, it has turned.
01:01:31He heard her scream.
01:01:32Zan saved her phone, the fiend.
01:01:34But he admitted his guilt.
01:01:35Then who is the fiend?
01:01:36Yes, it's the fiend.
01:01:38Tell us, sir.
01:01:39Tell us.
01:01:42Marguerite was alone with Professor Criston.
01:01:46He lied.
01:01:48He lied.
01:01:49He lied about the master.
01:01:50I and all of him killed him.
01:01:52That's just the truth.
01:01:53You are the blasphemer.
01:01:55Quiet.
01:01:56Quiet.
01:01:57He's in league with the fiend.
01:01:59He wants Marguerite for himself.
01:02:01Professor Criston, he'll tell us what to do.
01:02:07Quiet, quiet, please, my friend.
01:02:10I tell you, Zan is innocent.
01:02:12No.
01:02:13He killed my sister.
01:02:14He tore down his throat.
01:02:15David is in league with him.
01:02:17Release David.
01:02:18But he's a blasphemer.
01:02:19He says you are the fiend.
01:02:20I say release him.
01:02:23David, my boy.
01:02:27Promise me you will love and cherish Marguerite.
01:02:32Always.
01:02:33I promise.
01:02:42Look, my friends.
01:02:43The monsters work.
01:02:44You sought to kill a fiend.
01:02:48Well, I am he.
01:02:49What?
01:02:50Yes.
01:02:51I am the one you sought.
01:02:53I even sought myself.
01:02:56But believe me, I didn't know until tonight.
01:03:01What?
01:03:02Zan knew and tried to save me from myself.
01:03:18And as my friends, I have only one thing left to do.
01:03:27All of them.
01:03:48Are they afraid of me?
01:03:49Caster! Caster!
01:04:15David!
