00:00:06The End
00:00:36The End
00:01:13This is the case of Armand Tesla, vampire, as compiled from the personal notes of Professor Walter Saunders, King's College,
00:01:22Oxford.
00:01:24The following events took place in the outskirts of London towards the close of the year 1918.
00:01:30They began on the night of October the 15th, a particularly gloomy, foggy night that was well suited for a
00:01:37visitation by the supernatural.
00:02:06Master, it's night again.
00:02:11A beautiful, dark, silent night with the fog creeping in.
00:02:18Time for you to awaken, Master.
00:02:21Time for you to go out.
00:02:47Andres, you will tell me what has transpired during the hours of light.
00:02:51She is still alive, Master.
00:02:53I watched her through the window at Dr. Ainsley's sanatorium.
00:02:57She just lies there in a cot, stares abutted, nothing at all.
00:03:03And the great professor, an old teacher of Dr. Ainsley, has come from Oxford to find out what is wrong
00:03:09with her.
00:03:10Just as if any of them could tell what happened.
00:03:38Just as if any of them could tell what happened.
00:04:02I've been afraid of her.
00:04:04The only one could tell what happened.
00:04:05She was born.
00:04:05She had been born.
00:04:08She was born.
00:04:09She was born.
00:04:18Rollers?
00:04:19Possibly. We have them sometimes.
00:04:21Oh.
00:04:24Look at this, Professor Saunders.
00:04:33Well?
00:04:34There's nothing wrong with this blood condition.
00:04:36Certainly no indication of anemia.
00:04:38Yet the woman was practically bloodless when she was found.
00:04:41Nothing to indicate hemorrhage? Wounds?
00:04:43Not a sign of a thing.
00:04:44She was evidently suffering from shock.
00:04:46We haven't been able to get a thing out of her.
00:04:48Hmm. Definitely. Very.
00:04:51That's why I sent for you, Professor.
00:04:54Lester John, you simply must not jump about like this.
00:04:57Oh, Lady Ainsley, I'm so bad Grandpa brought me with him.
00:05:00We've been playing war, sir.
00:05:02Nicky was a German and I killed her.
00:05:04I hope he didn't kill you very much, darling.
00:05:06Don't you think it's about time you were in bed, young man?
00:05:09Or don't soldiers sleep?
00:05:10Of course they do.
00:05:11May I play one piece on the piano before we go to bed?
00:05:14Please.
00:05:15Very well, then. Just one.
00:05:17Oh, Ray, come, Nicky.
00:05:18We can be riding in a tank until we get there.
00:05:21I'm sorry I interrupted you, my lady.
00:05:23It's quite all right.
00:05:24We'll be up later to tuck them in.
00:05:26Shall we see the patient now, Professor?
00:05:40Mr. Narcon, can you hear me?
00:05:44Mr. Narcon?
00:05:46That light.
00:05:49My eyes.
00:05:50No, don't close your eyes.
00:05:51Just keep looking at me as long as you can.
00:05:54Yes, like that.
00:05:56Observe the eyes.
00:05:57Dilation, almost hypnosis.
00:06:00You're hurting me.
00:06:01Who's hurting you?
00:06:04Answer.
00:06:05Am I hurting you?
00:06:07Miss Narcon?
00:06:08Answer.
00:06:10My dream.
00:06:11What dream?
00:06:12Your eyes look like burning coals.
00:06:16Don't come any nearer.
00:06:18Don't touch me.
00:06:19Don't touch me.
00:06:21No.
00:06:22No, I didn't tell them.
00:06:24No.
00:06:25No, I didn't tell them.
00:06:26I didn't tell them.
00:06:29Dr. Ainsley.
00:06:31Dr. Ainsley.
00:06:32Dr. Ainsley.
00:06:49What did she mean about the dream?
00:06:51I don't know yet.
00:06:54I'm afraid it goes deeper than medicine.
00:06:57Deeper even than science.
00:07:12In the beginning of time, man has been troubled by the uncertainty of death and by the rare and horrible
00:07:18manifestations which occur at intervals in which the dead are known to return from their graves.
00:07:27I do.
00:07:27I don't know.
00:07:54I hope I wouldắt you.
00:08:28Professor, you haven't been to bed?
00:08:31No.
00:08:43You've discovered something.
00:08:46I want you to come with me.
00:08:57I want you to come with me.
00:08:58Lacerations about the size of pinpricks on the throat.
00:09:02What?
00:09:03Look.
00:09:05Needlepricks, surely?
00:09:07No.
00:09:09I paid no attention to those marks on her throat last night because they seemed unimportant.
00:09:14This morning, I know better.
00:09:16What then do they indicate?
00:09:18Incisions made by the teeth of a vampire.
00:09:21A vampire?
00:09:22A bat?
00:09:23An animal?
00:09:24No, Jane, not a bat.
00:09:25A vampire.
00:09:26A monster.
00:09:28A fantastic something that draws blood from the human body through the jugular veins of its victim.
00:09:34This thirst for blood is akin to all craving for food.
00:09:39Without human blood, they perish.
00:09:42Listen to these notes that I have made from the writings of a Romanian scientist, an authority on vampirism.
00:09:49Armand Tesla, who lived 200 years ago.
00:09:52This, for instance, once attacked.
00:09:54The victim of a vampire is completely dominated by this creature.
00:09:58But surely vampires exist only in the imagination.
00:10:02Did imagination make those marks on her throat?
00:10:05But...
00:10:05Was it reality or fantasy that caused the dogs to bark last night as though wolves were about?
00:10:10But this is ridiculous.
00:10:11I can't believe it.
00:10:12Milady!
00:10:13What is it, Elsa?
00:10:14It's Nicky.
00:10:14I can't wake her.
00:10:15Nicky!
00:10:33Transfusion.
00:10:34Your only chance.
00:10:36Then you are really convinced that Nicky was attacked by a vampire?
00:10:40There's not the slightest room for doubt.
00:10:43If we allow another night to pass, it will try to reach her again.
00:10:46And the next time may prove fatal.
00:10:48How ghastly.
00:10:50I tell you, not a soul will ever believe us.
00:10:53But we know this monster exists.
00:10:56Menace.
00:10:57Deadly.
00:10:57Horrible.
00:10:58We must try it.
00:11:00But how?
00:11:01According to this Dr. Armand Tesler, a vampire can only be destroyed by driving a spike through
00:11:08its heart while it sleeps in its coffin, or by forcing it out into the bright sunlight,
00:11:13which will cause it to shrivel and perish.
00:11:15We can't see this thing through by ourselves.
00:11:17Yes, we can.
00:11:18A vampire must rest during the day in the soil in which it was buried.
00:11:23But the coffin might be hidden anywhere.
00:11:24Could it?
00:11:25How many graveyards are there in this vicinity?
00:11:27Well, there's the church fields and the burial ground at Old Priory.
00:11:30But that's been abandoned for years.
00:11:32Then we must try them both, and pray for guidance.
00:11:36Are you coming with me?
00:11:39Yes.
00:11:52Look here.
00:12:14Professor.
00:12:15There's nothing to fear as long as we have the sunlight.
00:12:19We haven't much time.
00:12:41There's nothing to fear as long as we have the sunlight.
00:12:58If this is it, it's likely to be here.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:09Why, it's a man.
00:13:12And he's alive.
00:13:14Yes, alive.
00:13:15The blood of his victim.
00:13:17Now, are you convinced, Jane?
00:13:19But how can we be certain?
00:13:21According to Dr. Tesla, a vampire's face cast no reflection in a mirror.
00:13:29Shall we try?
00:13:30No.
00:13:42I don't know.
00:13:45No.
00:13:45No.
00:13:54No.
00:13:57No.
00:13:58No.
00:13:59No.
00:14:00No.
00:14:09Oh, Professor!
00:14:12You killed him!
00:14:14You killed him, Doctor!
00:14:17Why, what is it?
00:14:20Some loathsome creature of the vampires.
00:14:22Tesla says they exist.
00:14:50We must help him.
00:14:51Yes.
00:15:05This is absolutely the most fantastic thing I've ever read.
00:15:09Fantastic, Sir Frederick, or unbelievable?
00:15:11Oh, I'm not going to haggle phrases with you, Lady Jane.
00:15:14This manuscript was discovered amongst the effects of Professor Saunders,
00:15:18who died recently in a plane crash.
00:15:20Its very serious implications can't be ignored.
00:15:23My dear lady, you simply can't go around the country
00:15:26driving things through people's hearts.
00:15:28I quite understand, Sir Frederick.
00:15:31This person that you and Professor Saunders disposed of,
00:15:35who was he?
00:15:35Armand Tesla, the depraved Romanian scientist,
00:15:38who died in 1744,
00:15:39shortly after he published his work on vampirism.
00:15:42Tesla's morbid thirst for knowledge turned upon him,
00:15:44and after his death, he himself became a vampire.
00:15:47Oh, rubbish!
00:15:48There's no such thing as a vampire.
00:15:50You're wrong, Sir Frederick.
00:15:52And, uh, Tesla's man Friday,
00:15:55this, uh, Andreas, what happened to him?
00:15:57For years, Tesla had him under complete hypnotic control.
00:16:01But with Tesla's destruction,
00:16:02Andreas was released from this nightmare.
00:16:04And after years of patient care and treatment,
00:16:08he was restored to normal.
00:16:09Today, he's perfectly well and invaluable to me in my work.
00:16:12My dear Lady Jane,
00:16:14I have the greatest respect and admiration for you,
00:16:17like everyone else in England.
00:16:18But you must remember that
00:16:20I'm chief commissioner for Scotland Yard.
00:16:23And as such,
00:16:25there's only one thing I can do.
00:16:27That grave must be opened.
00:16:28And if we discover the remains of a man
00:16:31with a spike through his heart,
00:16:33well, then I'm very much afraid
00:16:35that you belabbered prosecution for murder.
00:16:40Mother,
00:16:42I thought you weren't going to stop by the concert hall
00:16:43after you left Sir Frederick's office.
00:16:45No, I came straight home.
00:16:46Ah, Nicky, dear.
00:16:47Hello.
00:16:48How did the rehearsal go?
00:16:49Oh, just so-so.
00:16:50That's informative.
00:16:51They've really done him awfully proud.
00:16:58Honorably discharged from the Royal Air Force
00:17:00because of wounds received in a sweep over the channel,
00:17:03Mr. Ainsley returns to music lovers of this city.
00:17:07It is rather thrilling.
00:17:09Nicky made a perfect spectacle of herself.
00:17:11She brought at least a dozen of them home with her.
00:17:12I did not.
00:17:13It was two dozen.
00:17:15I ask you, what can I do with him?
00:17:17That's for you to find out.
00:17:18After you're married,
00:17:19I wash my hands of him entirely.
00:17:20Well, you can't get rid of me that easily.
00:17:22I'd like to talk to you for a few moments.
00:17:24Nicky won't mind, will you, dear?
00:17:25I don't mind a bit.
00:17:29Come on, darling.
00:17:30The wedding announcements are out in your room.
00:17:32Ah, thank you.
00:17:34Come on, darling.
00:17:39So that's what Sir Frederick pondered?
00:17:40Yes.
00:17:42When is he going to open the grave?
00:17:43He'll call me.
00:17:44And if they find a body?
00:17:46I shall be able to prove that Tesla was a vampire.
00:17:48The body will not be decomposed.
00:17:51Are you worried?
00:17:52For myself, no.
00:17:53For Nicky, yes.
00:17:55I've always hoped that she would never know
00:17:56about this whole ghastly business.
00:17:58If it's to come out into the open, I...
00:17:59What is it, Andreas?
00:18:01Here is the blood report you asked for, my lady.
00:18:06Andreas, did you hear what we were talking about?
00:18:08No, sir.
00:18:10Here come the Jerry's.
00:18:11You'd better call Nicky.
00:18:12I shall wonder if there are any casualties.
00:18:15Here come the J.D.
00:18:15You.
00:18:15Here come the J.D.
00:18:16You.
00:18:37Here come the J.D.
00:18:43If I had to get out of the body, yes.
00:18:57Blimey, look at this place.
00:18:59It's getting so it ain't even safe to be dead.
00:19:01Right.
00:19:04Mr. Wilk, I ain't going to do nothing with him.
00:19:07The king expects every man to do his duty.
00:19:10Well, why did they have to shove this big kid job onto me?
00:19:12Well, I don't know, but I don't know.
00:19:21Look, don't do that.
00:19:32There's a blasted spike sticking out of his chest.
00:19:36You know, it ain't right for a man to be buried decent and proper like,
00:19:39and then go and get hurt by a blooming bomb splinter.
00:19:41That spike's got to come out before we bury him again.
00:19:51I don't know, but I don't know.
00:20:13Why do I know which is his grave?
00:20:16He ought to consider himself lucky to have a grave.
00:20:18Yes.
00:20:19Come on.
00:20:20Quit shoving him in the brink and all.
00:20:26Yes?
00:20:28Oh, that's splendid news indeed.
00:20:31Quite.
00:20:32I'll proceed exactly as with the others.
00:20:35Goodbye.
00:20:38Andreas, have you ever heard of Dr. Hugo Bruckner?
00:20:41Bruckner?
00:20:42Oh, yes.
00:20:43The famous scientist from Heidelberg.
00:20:45He's a prisoner in some German concentration camp.
00:20:48He was a prisoner.
00:20:49He was a prisoner.
00:20:49The underground are slipping him across the channel tonight.
00:20:52They want me to make the same arrangement as with the others.
00:20:54You'll want me to go to the coast, and then on to the professional club with him.
00:20:57Yes, exactly the same arrangements hold good.
00:21:00Be sure you carry all the necessary identification papers with you.
00:21:03I have them all in good order, Doctor.
00:21:04That's splendid.
00:21:06I've never met Dr. Bruckner, but I feel we're doing a good thing for humanity,
00:21:09helping a fellow scientist escape the Nazi yoke.
00:21:13You'd better get started.
00:21:14Yes, Doctor.
00:21:23Dr. Ainsley, I lied to you yesterday afternoon.
00:21:29I did hear what you were saying about the grave.
00:21:32His grave.
00:21:34I see.
00:21:37I'm afraid for Sir Frederick to open it.
00:21:39Please don't let them, Doctor.
00:21:41There's nothing I can do to stop him, Andreas.
00:21:43Really, there's nothing for you to worry about.
00:21:46I know you're right, Doctor, but I wish they weren't going to do it.
00:21:52I...
00:21:55Good night, Doctor.
00:22:28– All I have to do to was to do to rain by old Holmes. –
00:22:32Whatever.
00:22:32I can't do with you.
00:22:32I can't do with theinvestware.*
00:22:32Ah!
00:22:42Andreas.
00:22:47Andreas.
00:22:49Andreas.
00:22:52Andreas.
00:22:55Andreas.
00:23:01Andreas.
00:23:02Andreas.
00:23:07You...
00:23:11You have no power over me.
00:23:15That was ended many years ago.
00:23:18I'm no longer your slave.
00:23:21Dr. Ainsley has cleansed me of all the evil that you forced upon me.
00:23:26You can't bring it back.
00:23:29You can't. I won't let you. I won't.
00:23:35You're a fool, Andreas. A complete utter fool.
00:23:40Your fate is to be what you are.
00:23:43As mine is to be what I am.
00:23:46Your master.
00:23:48Come here.

00:33:48Good evening, Dr. Brown.
00:33:50I'm going to my room now. Nobody must disturb me. Nobody. Do you understand? I... I sleep during the day.
00:33:59White. White. Where?
00:34:20White.
00:34:39Niki, I'm waiting for you.
00:34:44Come to me, Niki.
00:34:48I'm here, Niki.
00:34:55Niki, come to me.
00:35:00It is useless for you to struggle.
00:35:06Come.
00:35:08I'm waiting for you.
00:35:27I'm waiting for you.
00:35:29I'm waiting for you.
00:36:01I'm waiting for you, too.
00:36:05Who are you?
00:36:06Why have you forced me to come here?
00:36:08You read your father's manuscript.
00:36:11Look at me, Nicky.
00:36:15Now tell me who I am.
00:36:18You are Armand Tesla.
00:36:22But Tesla's dead.
00:36:24I am Tesla.
00:36:26And I can never die.
00:36:29And you are mine.
00:36:32Mine forever.
00:36:34But before I take you away from here,
00:36:37there are many things I will make you do for me.
00:36:42Then you will go with me to my native country,
00:36:45where no death can claim you or tear us apart.
00:36:51Your mind is no longer your own.
00:36:57I shall command and you shall obey.
00:37:02Hey, look at me, Nicky.
00:37:05Look at me.
00:37:07Look at me.
00:37:28Look at me.
00:37:34Lady Ainsley, come quickly.
00:37:35Lady Ainsley.
00:37:37Lady Ainsley.
00:37:45Nicky.
00:37:47What is it?
00:37:49Call a nurse at once.
00:37:50Yes, milady.
00:37:53Hurry.
00:37:54Yes, milady.
00:37:55Yes, milady.
00:38:00What's the matter with her?
00:38:02Wait for me downstairs.
00:38:03I'll be able to tell you more later.
00:38:17It's ghastly.
00:38:19Unbelievable.
00:38:21A transfusion is all I can do for now.
00:38:24Let's take her right away from here.
00:38:25Anywhere, miles away.
00:38:27Now, don't get panicky, dear.
00:38:28That won't help Nicky.
00:38:30But something must be done.
00:38:33Something is going to be done.
00:38:37I understand from the caretaker
00:38:38that you are the two gentlemen
00:38:40who helped clean up the cemetery
00:38:41after the big blitz.
00:38:42Yes, we are that, Mum.
00:38:44Were many of the bodies disturbed?
00:38:46Well, maybe half a dozen, Mum.
00:38:49More or less.
00:38:50Do you remember seeing one
00:38:51of an old man,
00:38:52a very old man,
00:38:54with a spike in his heart?
00:38:57Yes, we do, Mum.
00:38:59But how did you know?
00:39:01Can you tell me what became of him?
00:39:05We pulled the spike out, Mum.
00:39:08Did anything happen
00:39:09while you were pulling out the spike?
00:39:11Or afterward?
00:39:12Yes, it did, Mum.
00:39:15We...
00:39:15we heard a sort of gasp.
00:39:18A low moan.
00:39:21But it couldn't have been him.
00:39:24Or could it?
00:39:26What happened then?
00:39:28We buried him again, Mum.
00:39:30All nice and cosy-like.
00:39:33Could you show me where?
00:39:36Yes.
00:39:40Here we are, Mum.
00:39:44Blimey!
00:39:46He's opted!
00:39:47Law lover duck.
00:39:50Who'd go and steal a dead corpse?
00:39:54Where did you get that ring?
00:39:58I found it, Mum.
00:39:59It was laying there in the dirt.
00:40:01Is it yours?
00:40:02Mine?
00:40:03Oh, no.
00:40:04No, it came off the corpse.
00:40:07Here, Mum.
00:40:07Have it with my compliments.
00:40:09Pardon me, Mum.
00:40:10I've got to go with Horace.
00:40:14I've been trying to tell you for the last hour
00:40:16it's no longer a question of accepting or believing.
00:40:19Armand Tesla is alive.
00:40:21You now have concrete evidence.
00:40:23His attack on Nicky.
00:40:25Oh, rubbish, my dear lady.
00:40:27There's a natural explanation to this thing
00:40:29and I mean to find it.
00:40:31I'll give you all the protection possible
00:40:33but I will not believe in galloping ghosts.
00:40:36Then there's no more to be said.
00:40:39It's half past five.
00:40:40I'll have to get back to Nicky before dark.
00:40:42Is John going through with his concert tonight
00:40:44or is that all off?
00:40:45John will be there.
00:40:47Goodbye.
00:40:48Good night.
00:40:55Lynch, I've got an idea.
00:40:56Really, sir?
00:40:57Yes, really.
00:40:59Splendid, sir.
00:40:59Oh, leave that thing alone.
00:41:01There's a man who assists a ladyship called
00:41:05Andreas Obrey.
00:41:17Hey there, wait a minute.
00:41:19I want to have a talk with you.
00:41:20What have you got to have fun for, my lad?
00:41:22Come on, hand it over.
00:41:23Keep away from me.
00:41:26I want to have a talk with you.
00:41:49Oh, Christ.
00:41:50Oh, Christ.
00:41:52Oh, Christ.
00:41:53Oh, God.
00:41:54Oh.
00:42:00That wasn't a man.
00:42:02That was a wolf.
00:42:08You say he was carrying this bundle?
00:42:10Yes, sir.
00:42:12Bruckner.
00:42:15What happened then?
00:42:17Well, we asked him to show us what was in the bundle.
00:42:19At first he seemed scared, and then he jumped us, sir.
00:42:23You mean you two big men couldn't handle him?
00:42:26We did have the best for him, sir, until he...
00:42:28He... he turned into a wolf, sir.
00:42:35He did what?
00:42:36He turned into a wolf, sir, right in front of our eyes.
00:42:41First there are vampires.
00:42:42Then men and coffins disappear from a cemetery.
00:42:45Now a man turns into a wolf.
00:42:47You haven't by any chance a rabbit up your sleeve, have you?
00:42:49Or an elephant in your hat?
00:42:51What? What do you take me for?
00:42:53For nothing, sir.
00:42:55It's the truth, sir.
00:42:56Show him.
00:42:59What's this?
00:43:00Hair, sir.
00:43:01I pulled them out during the fight.
00:43:02There can be no mistake, sir.
00:43:03We saw it quite plainly.
00:43:07What do you want?
00:43:08This report came from a laboratory earlier this evening.
00:43:10You weren't in, sir.
00:43:18It is the finding of this laboratory that the exhibit in this report,
00:43:22taken from the Ainslie Sanatorium, is wolf hair's...
00:43:36Well, of course, I may be crazy.
00:43:55What are you doing, Elsa?
00:43:57Just drawing the blackout curtains, Miss Nicky, so we can turn on the lights.
00:44:01Leave them alone.
00:44:05Don't you love the night and the darkness?
00:44:10Soft, lovely darkness.
00:44:12There's so much mystery in it.
00:44:13For my part, Miss Nicky, I prefer the daylight, where one can see what's what.
00:44:19Are you feeling better?
00:44:21Very much better, Elsa.
00:44:24Why don't you go get your supper?
00:44:26I'll go later.
00:44:28Lady Ainslie said you were not to be left alone.
00:44:30Very well.
00:44:50Lady Ainslie said you were not to be left alone.
00:45:02Nicky.
00:45:06You must go to him.
00:45:10Now, Nicky.
00:45:44What's the matter with you?
00:45:54Nicky.
00:45:55You should be out of bed.
00:45:58Stop that, Stevie.
00:45:59I don't know what's the matter with him.
00:46:00I've never acted that way before, but you, get out.
00:46:03Get out.
00:46:03Be quiet.
00:46:08You shouldn't have left your room like this.
00:46:10You knew I'd say goodbye before I've entered the concert.
00:46:17Nicky.
00:46:18Nicky.
00:46:20What's the matter?
00:46:23Nicky.
00:46:26I was afraid you'd forgotten.
00:46:28I love you so very much.
00:46:30Nicky.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:39Oh, Van.
00:46:40Is everything all right?
00:46:41I was delayed in the blackout.
00:46:42Did Mr. John get off for the concert?
00:46:44I believe so, my lady, although I didn't actually see him leave.
00:46:47Excuse me.
00:46:51Hello?
00:46:52Yes.
00:46:52Yes, this is the Ains in Residence.
00:46:55It's the concert hall, my lady.
00:46:56Oh, I'll take it.
00:46:59Hello?
00:47:00Yes.
00:47:01This is Lady Ainsley.
00:47:04What?
00:47:05I don't know anything about it.
00:47:07I'll see about it at once.
00:47:09That was the manager.
00:47:11He says my son hasn't arrived at the hall.
00:47:12See if he's in the library.
00:47:13I'll go up to his room.
00:47:14Yes, my lady.
00:47:17John?
00:47:18John?
00:47:19John?
00:47:21John?
00:47:24John?
00:47:24John?
00:47:24John?
00:47:26John?
00:47:29John?
00:47:31John?
00:47:31John?
00:47:33John?
00:47:34John?
00:47:36John?
00:47:36John?
00:47:36John?
00:47:37John?
00:47:37John?
00:47:37John?
00:47:37John?
00:47:39John?
00:47:39John?
00:47:48Well, Dr. Bruckner, what are you to say about this?
00:47:51Is this a police interrogation?
00:47:53Now, look here, sir. Don't beat about the bush.
00:47:55Do you believe this was an attack by a vampire?
00:47:59There are many strange things in the world, Sir Frederick.
00:48:03Vampires may be one of them.
00:48:05Ah.
00:48:07And you still say there is no such thing as a vampire.
00:48:10I repeat, Armand Tesla is one. And he lives.
00:48:13With Nicky already in his power, he has set out to destroy John, too.
00:48:17Heaven knows who may be his next victim.
00:48:20Nicky, your eyes.
00:48:23I never saw them so queer.
00:48:28Stop staring at me like that.
00:48:31Nicky!
00:48:34Nicky.
00:48:39Andreas.
00:48:42Andreas.
00:48:42We'd like to speak to you for a few moments, sir.
00:48:45What do you want?
00:48:47Did you take a manuscript from my desk several nights ago?
00:48:51A manuscript, doctor? I don't understand.
00:48:54What are you doing outside the professional club at three o'clock this morning?
00:48:59Well?
00:49:00Well?
00:49:01Why are you asking me these questions?
00:49:04Why are you looking at me like this?
00:49:07Let me see your hands.
00:49:09Let me see your hands!
00:49:15So now you know.
00:49:17Yes, I took the manuscript.
00:49:19Where is Armand Tesla?
00:49:22I'll never tell.
00:49:23You will never find him, no matter how hard you try.
00:49:25You can never destroy the master.
00:49:27He'll live forever.
00:49:28And you're too late to save John or the Saunders girl.
00:49:35Poor Andreas.
00:49:37What a tragedy to lose his soul again after struggling for so many years to find it.
00:49:41My dear Jane, how you can feel any sympathy for a creature like that's beyond me.
00:49:45But don't you understand?
00:49:46He's not responsible for his actions while under the domination of Tesla.
00:49:50Anyway, my men will pick him up within an hour.
00:49:53In the meantime, dear lady, you better come along with me.
00:49:55I have a surprise for you.
00:49:58Never mind your orders.
00:49:59I'm Sir Frederick Fleet of Scotland Yard.
00:50:01I'll take you to his room, sir.
00:50:03Thanks.
00:50:18It looks as though he was asleep, doesn't it?
00:50:20I can't understand it, sir.
00:50:22He came in a little before daylight and he hasn't gone out, I'm sure of that.
00:50:26Perhaps he sleeps under the bed.
00:50:28Oh, no, sir.
00:50:29He'd hardly do that.
00:50:31What about the fire escape?
00:50:32There is none, sir.
00:50:33And it's a three-story drop from here to the ground.
00:50:36Well, he may be somewhere in the building.
00:50:38Make inquiries, will you?
00:50:39Certainly, sir.
00:50:41May I ask why this sudden interest in Dr. Bruckner?
00:50:44Oh, it's not sudden, dear lady.
00:50:46I've been interested in the gentleman from the start.
00:50:49Would you like to hear my little surprise?
00:50:52Bruckner, Hugo, age 62.
00:50:5562?
00:50:57Mm-hmm.
00:50:58Bald, heavily built, and walks with a limp.
00:51:01There's your real doctor, Bruckner.
00:51:03Then who is this man?
00:51:04A very fishy customer.
00:51:06And that monstrosity, Andreas, is somehow tied up with him.
00:51:09Sir Frederick.
00:51:10Mm-hmm.
00:51:11Now I have a little surprise for you.
00:51:13Do you notice anything peculiar about this room?
00:51:17No.
00:51:18By Jove, yes.
00:51:24It's not broken.
00:51:26I wonder who'd turn a mirror to the wall like that.
00:51:30Hello, what's this?
00:51:34That ring belonged to Armand Tesla.
00:51:36I got it from a laborer at the cemetery after the bombing.
00:51:39You remember I showed it to you at your office?
00:51:40Yes, I remember.
00:51:42Dr. Bruckner stole it then.
00:51:43Oh, no, he didn't.
00:51:44It belongs to him.
00:51:46That ring proves beyond a shadow of a doubt
00:51:48that Dr. Bruckner is Armand Tesla, vampire,
00:51:52whose face casts no reflection.
00:51:56That's why he turned the mirror to the wall.
00:52:01I must know about John.
00:52:02Don't worry about John.
00:52:04He's going to be all right.
00:52:05Does he know everything?
00:52:07He knows and understands.
00:52:09What did he say?
00:52:10He said to tell you he loves you very much.
00:52:14How much longer can he go on loving me knowing that I...
00:52:16But John has always loved you.
00:52:18He always will, no matter what happens.
00:52:21The sun is going down, isn't it?
00:52:24Oh, if I could only hold back the night,
00:52:26keep it from getting dark.
00:52:28That's when I hear those voices whispering to me,
00:52:31telling me what to do.
00:52:34If there were only some way to stop this terrible thing.
00:52:38Lady Jane, you've got to help me.
00:52:40I will, darling, I will.
00:52:42Nicky, Nicky, look at me.
00:52:44I want you to answer just one question.
00:52:47Is Dr. Bruckner Armand Tesla?
00:52:51I don't know.
00:52:52I don't know.
00:52:53All I can hear is that voice and my mind seems to go.
00:53:04I think I've found the answer.
00:53:07Only it may involve terrible risk for you.
00:53:09I don't care about myself.
00:53:11Anything just so long as John is safe.
00:53:14May I keep this for the time being?
00:53:16If you wish.
00:53:18Thank you, dear.
00:53:19Just trust me.
00:53:24Come on, Elsa.
00:53:25But, milady.
00:53:26Don't ask any questions.
00:53:27Just come along.
00:53:36Peters.
00:53:37Yes, sir?
00:53:41Dr. Bruckner, I didn't see you come in.
00:53:45I didn't come in, Peters.
00:53:46I haven't been out.
00:53:48Are there any messages?
00:53:49No, sir.
00:53:50Can you be reached at Dr. Ainsley's?
00:53:52I shall be there.
00:53:53Whether I can be reached is quite an other matter.
00:54:04Where did he go?
00:54:06Where did he go?
00:54:07I'm Bruckner, the chap we're after.
00:54:09Nobody came out this way.
00:54:11Well, he just stepped out this door.
00:54:13Not this door, he didn't.
00:54:15I look here with my own very eyes.
00:54:17These here in the middle of my face.
00:54:19I just saw him come out.
00:54:20And I say, nobody came out.
00:54:25I'm not going to like it when Sir Frederick hears of this.
00:54:57I'm not going to like it when Sir Frederick hears of this.
00:55:03Good evening, Lady Ainsley.
00:55:05I've been expecting you, Dr. Bruckner.
00:55:08So at last, through Andreas, you learned who I am.
00:55:13How great must be your satisfaction to realize how well you cured him.
00:55:19There is good in Andreas' soul.
00:55:21Good that I have placed there.
00:55:23And which even you cannot destroy, Armand Tesla.
00:55:26What a fool you are.
00:55:29With all your scientific knowledge, you have achieved nothing.
00:55:34You are too late to stop what I have set out to do.
00:55:40I have waited for this moment for a long time.
00:55:44Tonight, I will take Nikki away.
00:55:49Her soul will wander through the night.
00:55:53And you will never find where her body rests.
00:55:57And then, in another form, she will come back for a job.
00:56:05You are lying.
00:56:07You attacked my son and made Nikki believe that she did it.
00:56:11You are a very brilliant woman, but a foolish one to beat your strength against mine.
00:56:18It is possible that you may take Nikki.
00:56:21But there is something stronger than even you.
00:56:24Something greater that you have forgotten.
00:56:27You are evil, but even the power of evil cannot stand against the power of faith and goodness.
00:56:36And with that power, you will be destroyed.
00:56:56Lady Jane.
00:57:00Is everything all right?
00:57:01Brocktona was here.
00:57:03Already?
00:57:04Well, he won't get out of the house.
00:57:05I've got the whole place surrounded.
00:57:07You won't take him that way.
00:57:08If you don't listen to me now, you'll never take him.
00:57:19Nikki.
00:57:21The time has come.
00:57:23I am waiting for you.
00:57:27You must follow my voice.
00:57:31Nothing can keep you from me.
00:57:36Follow my voice.
00:57:42Nothing can keep you from me.
00:57:45Follow my voice.
00:57:50Follow.
00:57:54Follow.
00:58:00I've listened to your ridiculous theories long enough.
00:58:02I'm out to capture two men and I'm going to get them.
00:58:05But, Sir Frederick, I...
00:58:06Wait.
00:58:11He's under the hypnotic control of Bruckner.
00:58:13Oh, not so.
00:58:14There's only one way to find him.
00:58:15And that's for Nikki to lead us to his grave herself.
00:58:17But, Jane, I...
00:58:18Now, you listen to me.
00:58:19I may be risking her life as well as my son's.
00:58:22But it's our only salvation.
00:58:23We must follow her.
00:58:25It's my way or none at all.
00:58:26But it's preposterous.
00:58:26I tell you, it's the only way.
00:58:28Are you going to help me follow her or do I have to see the scene through alone?
00:58:32All right.
00:58:53The night is our friend, Nikki.
00:58:56I will protect you and bring you to me.
00:59:01Bring you to me.
00:59:04Bring.
00:59:07Bring.
00:59:09Bring.
00:59:10Bring.
00:59:20You're almost to me, Nikki.
00:59:24Just a little further.
00:59:27Just a little further.
00:59:30Further.
00:59:33Further.
00:59:35Further.
00:59:43Closer, Nikki.
00:59:46Closer.
00:59:48And we will be together.
00:59:52Just you and I.
00:59:55Together.
00:59:58Closer.
01:00:36For heaven's sakes, if Frederick don't shoot again.
01:00:42We go up.
01:00:43We go up.
01:00:44We go up.
01:01:15Oh, my God.
01:01:19Nikki!
01:01:23Nikki!
01:01:24Nikki!
01:01:26Nikki!
01:01:27Oh, Sir Frederick, we've lost them.
01:01:57Help me, master.
01:02:00I am hurt.
01:02:02What is that to me?
01:02:04But I'll die.
01:02:07You must not let that happen, master.
01:02:09You promised me life eternal.
01:02:13Like yours forever.
01:02:15I no longer need you, Andreas.
01:02:17Your usefulness is over.
01:02:20You must not say that, master.
01:02:22Get away from me.
01:02:25Idiot.
01:02:27Get back to that corner.
01:02:33Remain there to die.
01:02:47There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:02:52I have won.
01:03:03There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:04There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:06There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:07There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:11There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:11There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:11There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:12There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:15There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:18There is no power great enough to keep you from me.
01:03:35You are saved, Andreas, because I have taught you the meaning of goodness.
01:03:43You hold it now locked tightly in your heart, and nothing evil can ever stand against it again.
01:03:53Always remember that goodness is the strongest force in the world, and that all evil cannot prevail against it.
01:04:03Remember that, and you will be strong. Strong. Strong.
01:04:43And that's... Go back. Go back. I'm your master. You must obey. Go back.
01:04:53You are my master no longer. You are evil. You must be destroyed.
01:05:01For years I have lived in terror of you. I'd wake up screaming in the night because I thought you
01:05:06had come back.
01:05:07I was your slave again. Because I forgot what Dr. Ainsley had taught me.
01:05:12But now that is over. I am going to destroy you forever.
01:05:19Every member of the force is looking for them.
01:05:21They must be found before daylight or it'll be too late.
01:05:25You've fought every move I've tried to make in this case.
01:05:27You've got some silly, absurd notion that I...
01:06:22In thesighence, this piece used for it before.
01:06:28Let's go.
01:06:57Let's go.
01:07:28What? Whereabouts?
01:07:32Right. They've found them.
01:07:34Oh, thank heaven.
01:07:45Oh, Nicky.
01:07:47Lady Jane.
01:07:48Where are the other two?
01:07:50Over here, sir.
01:07:53Lady Jane.
01:07:55It was Andreas.
01:07:58He destroyed him.
01:08:00Andreas.
01:08:02I'll be home soon, darling.
01:08:13Well, there's one of them, Andreas.
01:08:17Doesn't look much like a werewolf now, does he?
01:08:19He isn't now.
01:08:20Poor Andreas.
01:08:22He found his soul, after all.
01:08:24May he have peace forever.
01:08:26But who this blighter is, I don't know.
01:08:28He looks to me more like a bundle of rags and bones.
01:08:30Looks as if he'd been lying there for some time.
01:08:33That, my dear Sir Frederick, is all that had left of Armour Tesla.
01:08:37Now, do you believe in vampires?
01:08:40Dear Jane.
01:08:41Must you go back over all that?
01:08:43Very well, then.
01:08:44If it isn't Tesla or Bruckner, perhaps you'll tell me who it is.
01:08:49Say, you fellas don't believe in this vampire business, do you?
01:08:53Yes, sir.
01:08:54We do.
01:08:59And do you people?
