00:16:30good night

00:16:51Welcome!

00:17:17What's your name?

00:17:18What's your name?

00:17:19Martha, Mona.

00:17:22Age.

00:17:24I don't know.

00:17:26Cause of death.

00:17:27Like all the rest.

00:17:29The vampire.

00:17:32When I said I was going to tell you,

00:17:34his eyes blown up like coals of fire.

00:17:36His hand reached out towards me,

00:17:38as if you were going to sink it into my throat.

00:17:40And weigh this well.

00:17:41He never works and never begs,

00:17:43and yet he appears well fed always.

00:17:46That so he does.

00:17:48What does he live on then?

00:17:51I'll wager it as Kringen says.

00:17:54And my room was in Martha's room tonight

00:17:56when Herman put a flower in her hand.

00:17:58Strange business, if you ask me.

00:18:01Mighty strange.

00:18:02I hate to be in your shoes, Kringen.

00:18:04Yes, after what happened tonight,

00:18:06I locked myself in my room

00:18:08and prayed God to protect me from the devil.

00:18:16I am a well back October.

00:18:23I am a little iker of Montimey .

00:18:25This evening, Oscar.

00:18:29Oh good evening.

00:18:39Good evening, Herr Mathur.

00:18:41conhece you had nothing to thedeens 들어오.

00:18:44And I still want to wait for three and one day.

00:18:46I work on the wider market where 제�ках

00:19:28Well, what do you make of it, Doctor?

00:19:31Are these two wounds similar to those found on the other bodies?

00:19:34Dr. Haupt can answer that for you, sir.

00:19:38Yes, they were the same in every case.

00:19:41This is a strange condition, Carl.

00:19:44It's so strange that I doubt the evidence in my eyes.

00:19:48What was your conclusion, Haupt?

00:19:50I diagnosed the wounds as having been made by needle-sharp teeth.

00:19:55Puntures are three acres, penetrating into, but not beyond, the jugular vein.

00:20:02Do you mean to say that you also believe they could have been made by teeth?

00:20:05Frankly, I do.

00:20:06Ah, you see, Brett Schneider?

00:20:09What kind of teeth, Doctor?

00:20:10An animal of some sort.

00:20:12It's hard to say.

00:20:14The fangs of a wolf, perhaps.

00:20:16A werewolf?

00:20:17Could they have been made by, well, a bat, for instance?

00:20:22A certain species, yes.

00:20:24There are vampire bats.

00:20:27Doctor William Jamison, who explored many of the tributaries of the upper Amazon, states that blood-sucking bats do exist.

00:20:34He further asserts that the victims often become blood-drinkers themselves.

00:20:38Sighting a case in which he saw a native, tortured to death in an animal by his tribe brothers.

00:20:43They swore he had become a human bat.

00:20:46And, states Jamison, he confessed it.

00:20:50Do you mean to say that such a thing as a human vampire is possible?

00:20:54Who can say?

00:20:56Historic records would have us believe that an evil soul, assuming there is such, can take any shape it pleases.

00:21:02So why not turn to that of a human being?

00:21:05Eh, Carl?

00:21:06Why not?

00:21:07Have you any literature on the subject, Doctor?

00:21:10Yes, I have many interesting volumas on my shelf, and my crew very enlightened.

00:21:15I'm glad to show them to you.

00:21:17I don't mind admitting that I'm up a tree.

00:21:20Stumped.

00:21:21Well, we'll see what can be done, my boy.

00:21:23Eh, no, no, no, Herman.

00:21:24This is no place for you.

00:21:25Go away, my boy.

00:21:26Go away.

00:21:27Good night, John.

00:21:28Good night, Doctor.

00:21:28Good night, Hal.

00:21:29Good night, Doctor.

00:21:30Good morning, Carl.

00:21:31Thank you, Doctor.

00:21:32I'm sorry to have dragged you out at such an ungodly hour.

00:21:34Oh, that's all right, that's all right.

00:21:47A child fleeing in the horror from the sight of death.

00:21:50There goes the vampire.

00:21:51Arrest him.

00:21:52Lock him up.

00:21:53Kill him.

00:21:53Has the entire village gone mad?

00:21:56Herman wouldn't harm a baby, and you know it.

00:21:58I've walked the streets of this village for over 40 years, but tonight's the end.

00:22:02He knows that I've totally played with that.

00:22:04He knows that I saw him sneak into Martha's house just before midnight.

00:22:07Perhaps he was taking her another flower, Trinket.

00:22:09The boy brought her one to the ceiling while I was there.

00:22:12He killed her just like he did all the rest.

00:22:14And now he's going to kill me.

00:22:16Unless he's killing a thing different to his heart, I'm a doomed man.

00:22:20He'll kill me.

00:22:21He'll kill me.

00:22:22I'm doomed.

00:22:23He'll kill me.

00:22:24He'll kill me.

00:22:25I'm a doomed man.

00:22:27He'll kill me.

00:22:46He'll kill me.

00:23:14Good morning, Mr. Brett Schneider.

00:23:16What brings you to Kleinschloss so early?

00:23:18You.

00:23:20Fibber.

00:23:20I heard the doctor tell Georgiana he expected you.

00:23:23I knew there was something else.

00:23:24You're a delightful pervaricator call, but not a very convincing one.

00:23:43You don't mind me using your stethoscope, do you, doctor?

00:23:46Not at all, Frau Schnappen.

00:23:47What seems to be the ailment this morning?

00:23:49What's that?

00:23:52What seems to be the ailment this morning?

00:23:55Well, doctor, I am positive that I have valvular degleage of the aorta.

00:24:00Or maybe it's the right ventricle.

00:24:04There is something wrong with my heart.

00:24:05I can hear it beat, thump, thump, thump, thump, just like the book says.

00:24:09Well, if you didn't hear it beating thump, thump, thump, just as the book says,

00:24:12I would say there is something wrong.

00:24:15What?

00:24:16Without a moon?

00:24:17You have a heart of stone.

00:24:19All right, then.

00:24:20Close your eyes.

00:24:25No.

00:24:28Oh, so, young lady.

00:24:30It's too early in the morning, Carl, much too early.

00:24:32Oh, is it?

00:24:34Oh, dear, that Gussie.

00:24:39She would show up just at a time like this.

00:24:47Well, Aunt Gussie, what's the matter now?

00:24:50There's provocation of the auricular, ventricular, and microvalves.

00:24:55There's a cordache, don't you see?

00:24:57You mean your what?

00:24:59Of course it's me.

00:25:01Dr. Von Nealon, he tried to assure me, but I know, I know it's serious.

00:25:06I'm liable to go just like that.

00:25:07Did he put the pride for you, dear?

00:25:09Yes.

00:25:09Monacid, that's your salicylic acid.

00:25:12You mean salicylic acid, don't you?

00:25:13Well, salicylic, salicylic.

00:25:15Help me.

00:25:16My heart is much quieter.

00:25:18Hello, Carl.

00:25:19Oh, Carl, you'll be good to her when I'm gone, won't you?

00:25:23Yes, of course I will, for us not, Monacid.

00:25:25Well, I'm not gone yet.

00:25:27You can't marry her unless I say so.

00:25:29Don't forget that.

00:25:30Oh, my heart.

00:25:32There, Auntie, you'll be all right.

00:25:33Just rest a while.

00:25:35But you need a...

00:25:35What?

00:25:36Rest, dear.

00:25:37Quiet.

00:25:38Yes.

00:25:39Yes.

00:25:40Yes.

00:25:41Yes.

00:25:44Yes.

00:25:45Yes.

00:25:47Yes.

00:25:48Yes.

00:25:50Yes.

00:25:51Yes.

00:25:52Yes.

00:25:53Yes.

00:25:54Yes.

00:26:08Yes.

00:26:09Yes.

00:26:10Yes.

00:26:14Yes.

00:26:28Let's get the puppy.

00:26:32Come on, come on, kitty-poo.

00:26:34Come on.

00:26:35Come on.

00:26:36Come on, kitty-poo.

00:26:37Come on, kitty-poo.

00:26:38Come on, kitty-poo.

00:26:42Come on.

00:26:43Let it happen.

00:26:59Don't you know it's wrong to steal?

00:27:02You've cut yourself.

00:27:03See?

00:27:04Blood.

00:27:06Stop it, stop it.

00:27:07No hurt me.

00:27:09No hurt.

00:27:09Oh, you poor thing.

00:27:11Now you wait right here.

00:27:12Now run in the house and get something for that finger.

00:27:13A subcutaneous wound like that might easily result in a tetanus infection.

00:27:18Tetan, tetan.

00:27:20Tetanus.

00:27:20Rock jaw.

00:27:22Not that you need to be afraid.

00:27:24The way you talk, I think you've got it already.

00:27:27Look, here's a nice juicy apple for you.

00:27:43Ah, this is it.

00:27:47Straight sur les appréciants des esprits et sur les ventes.

00:27:50By Augustin Don Calamay.

00:27:52In 1746.

00:27:57Let us suppose that these corpses do not actually stir from their tombs, that only the ghosts

00:28:01or spirits appear to the living.

00:28:04Wherefore do these phantoms present themselves and what is it that energizes them?

00:28:08Is it actually the soul of the dead man which has not yet departed to its final destination?

00:28:13Yes, sir.

00:28:15Now how could a corpse buried under four or five feet of verdict get out to do any such foolishness?

00:28:19I don't believe it.

00:28:21It's a fair question, doctor.

00:28:23How could it?

00:28:24Well, according to accepted theory, the vampire dematerializes its body and reintegrates it

00:28:29outside the grave.

00:28:31It's an explanation, if you can believe it.

00:28:33And while I'm standing here listening to all this rubbish, there's a poor man in the garden

00:28:37in danger of a tetanus infection.

00:28:39Now what should I do for him, doctor?

00:28:40Shall I apply nucleotone or two percent solution of bipolar?

00:28:43Well, either will do.

00:28:45Get some gauze and some nucleotone.

00:28:47Thank you, doctor.

00:28:48I'll wait here.

00:28:49Difficult to believe, isn't it?

00:28:51It's impossible to believe.

00:28:54And yet, it would explain these deaths, wouldn't it?

00:29:02Ah, that's Schneider.

00:29:03Pardon their intrusion, Dr. von Neiman.

00:29:06After what you saw last night, you'll be interested in this as well.

00:29:09Well, what happened?

00:29:10Gringen was found dead an hour ago.

00:29:13With the two punctures in his neck and not a drop of blood in his body.

00:29:18And what's more, Herman Glyde has disappeared.

00:29:23What?

00:29:24Now are you convinced that we were right and you were wrong?

00:29:26That'd be proof enough for anybody.

00:29:28Gringen said Herman would get him, and he did.

00:29:30Well, Brett Schneider?

00:29:33I appoint you my deputy.

00:29:34Organize a searching party and comb this countryside from one end to the other.

00:29:38Find Herman Glyde and bring him in, but don't harm him.

00:29:40Do you understand?

00:29:41What good will that do?

00:29:42He is a vampire.

00:29:44There's only one thing for us to do when we find him.

00:29:47Kill him and drive a stake through his back.

00:29:48Herman Glyde will be tried by a court of law.

00:29:52If the charge against him is proven true, the law will decide what to do with him, not you.

00:29:56Now get your men together and do as I tell you.

00:29:57That's the way to talk.

00:30:01I'm going into Thompson for a while, Doctor.

00:30:02Would you care to come along?

00:30:03Oh, I hardly believe so.

00:30:05As it will be done until they find the boy.

00:30:07If you need me then, I'll...

00:30:08All right, thanks.

00:30:08I'll let you know.

00:30:17I see the door is going to sink.

00:30:18There, Auntie, there's nothing here to be afraid of.

00:30:21Take them frame over to you with curicum and bandages.

00:30:23Run along now and take care of that patient of yours.

00:30:26Oh, heavens, I forgot all about him.

00:30:28Oh.

00:30:29Oh, my heart.

00:30:31Oh.

00:30:33Poor Auntie.

00:30:33She's had every ailment in the book.

00:30:35There's a lot that aren't, I'm afraid.

00:30:38Particularly a palpitation of the auriculo-ventricular tricuspid and mitral valve, Doctor.

00:30:44Well, I had to tell her something to satisfy her.

00:30:55Here, here.

00:30:56You mustn't do that.

00:30:59Now, where's that finger?

00:31:07You're good, like Martha.

00:31:10She give me apples.

00:31:13Herman like you.

00:31:16Are you, Herman?

00:31:18Me, Herman?

00:31:21You give me apples?

00:31:23Herman give you nice, soft bath.

00:31:27Here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,

00:31:31here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,

00:31:32here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,

00:31:36here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,

00:31:47here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here

00:32:25Oh

00:32:26Oh

00:33:00What is it Georgiana?

00:33:01I just found this in Emil's room

00:33:05Well

00:33:05It belonged to my friend Martha Mueller

00:33:08Are you certain?

00:33:09I gave it to her myself

00:33:10Martha died last night

00:33:12I find her crucifix in Emil's room

00:33:14Doesn't that mean Emil is the one

00:33:16Herr Bretschneider is seeking?

00:33:18This amazes me Georgiana

00:33:21It's impossible

00:33:23It rained the night Von Elf died

00:33:25There was mud on Emil's shoes the next morning

00:33:28Have you mentioned this to anyone?

00:33:29I intend to tell Herr Bretschneider when he calls again

00:33:32I can't believe it

00:33:35Leave this with me

00:33:37I want to talk to Emil before you say anything to anyone

00:33:40The burgermeister should know at once

00:33:41Yes, all in good time

00:33:43Emil has been with me too long for us to

00:33:45Jumper to conclusions

00:33:48Don't say anything until I tell you

00:33:50And send Emil to me

00:33:52Very well, Doctor

00:34:04That's for the new writer

00:34:07And the pepsom

00:34:08That hasn't happened to the top of the shoe ladder

00:34:10And sweet spice of nitre

00:34:12That'll help if she won't do any harm

00:34:14And ginger

00:34:16Is that a warm, Mr. Tonic?

00:34:18And now

00:34:19A little pipe out of soda

00:34:27A little pipe out of soda

00:34:43A little pipe out of soda

00:34:54Get him now.

00:35:37Come on, man.

00:35:40We've got him.

00:35:41He can't get away from me.

00:35:42Some of you are around that way.

00:35:45We've got to get him past you, you know what to do.

00:35:48Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:35:50What's going on?

00:35:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:35:50We got him.

00:35:58Come on, we're going to be doing good!

00:36:01Get over here!

00:36:15There it is!

00:36:17Here, boys!

00:36:20Herman, you're going back to the village with us.

00:36:25Come on.

00:36:26We won't hurt you.

00:36:28No.

00:36:29No, don't go.

00:36:31I'm afraid.

00:36:33Come on.

00:36:35You're going with us, Herman.

00:36:37No.

00:36:38You're going with us.

00:36:39No.

00:36:40Come on, Herman.

00:36:41Come on.

00:36:42Get him.

00:36:45Come on, Herman.

00:36:46We won't hurt you.

00:36:48Come on.

00:36:48No.

00:36:50No.

00:36:52No.

00:37:07Come, let's settle, Tim.

00:37:08Yes, let's go.

00:37:10We're going down the road.

00:37:18We've got to make certain.

00:37:20I won't go down there.

00:37:23Nobody asked you to.

00:37:25I'll go myself.

00:37:27Can you see him?

00:37:30He's on a ledge about 50 feet down.

00:37:34I'll get a rope.

00:37:36We've got to make certain, I tell you.

00:37:52You must be careful, Emil.

00:37:57Very careful.

00:37:59Very careful.

00:38:25No.

00:38:26It must be.

00:38:28It must be.

00:38:29It must be.

00:38:31She's no better than the rest.

00:38:33I've got to go on.

00:38:35No.

00:38:47It must be.

00:38:48She's no better than the rest.

00:38:48I've got to go on.

00:39:14It must be on a low.

00:40:50Oh, it's you, Doctor.

00:40:52Good evening.

00:40:52I'm sorry to have to disturb you, Doctor, but we simply couldn't make Georgiana hear the bell.

00:40:56That's quite all right, my dear.

00:40:57Georgiana's becoming careless.

00:40:59Very careless.

00:41:00Yes, I've noticed that, too.

00:41:01In my opinion, she has Megana.

00:41:03That's sleeping sickness.

00:41:04You know the symptoms, Doctor.

00:41:06At first, I thought it was creeping paralysis, so I stuck a pin in her leg to see, and it

00:41:10was a splendid reaction of the reflex motor nerve.

00:41:13Why, Auntie, you're shocked.

00:41:15So is she.

00:41:16Won't you join me in some coffee?

00:41:18Yes, thanks, Doctor.

00:41:18We will.

00:41:19There are a few questions I'd like to ask you, Paula.

00:41:21About blood and murders and vampires, I suppose.

00:41:23Yes, I'm afraid so.

00:41:25So am I.

00:41:26Well, good night.

00:41:27If such a thing is possible, I'm going to bed.

00:41:29Won't you join us too, French, Napplin?

00:41:31Coffee at this hour of the night?

00:41:32No, thank you.

00:41:33I'm going to stick to my monacidester as soon as time is salad.

00:41:36Acid, Doctor.

00:41:37Acid.

00:41:38Good night.

00:41:44What's the news in the village, Carl?

00:41:46Have they located Hermin yet?

00:41:48No, not a trace of him.

00:41:50I hate to think of that poor misfit being hunted down like a dog.

00:41:54You know, I simply can't bring myself to believe in that vampire theory.

00:41:58Will you pause?

00:41:59Excuse me.

00:42:01I know, Carl.

00:42:02Well, our slain of karma judgment tells us that such things can't be.

00:42:06And yet, here, for instance, in this ponderous tome,

00:42:10are cited a thousand and one phobias and complexes that human beings are heir to.

00:42:15Some of them are strange, more untenable even than werewolves and vampires.

00:42:21Could I have some more, please?

00:42:23You drink entirely too much coffee.

00:42:25That's my one weakness.

00:42:26And also my excuse for tolerating Georgiana's laxity and other things.

00:42:29She does know how to make good coffee.

00:42:34She brings it to me every night at exactly ten o'clock.

00:42:37And when I've drunk it all, then I know it's time to quit.

00:42:40Yes.

00:42:41And eat breakfast so you can have more coffee.

00:42:43Oh.

00:42:53No.

00:42:54Georgiana.

00:42:54You mustn't cry like that.

00:42:59Well, get yourself a trailer cooler.

00:43:01Yeah, okay.

00:43:03Look here.

00:43:05Hi.

00:43:09That was auntie.,

00:43:24If you don't have an accident, be careful.

00:43:26I'm fine now.

00:43:28Maybe you should be escorted to the room.

00:43:30I should have been scared.

00:43:32I should have been scared for you.

00:43:34I should have been scared for you.

00:43:35I should have been very scared.

00:43:37I have been scared of you.

00:43:46The same two wounds, doctor.

00:43:49My last words to her were angry ones.

00:43:52A petulant reprimand had been late with my coffee.

00:43:55What time is that?

00:43:56About two minutes after ten.

00:43:58She's been dead then about 45 minutes.

00:44:04Bloodless like the rest.

00:44:08It passes all belief.

00:44:13Ruth's aunt saw Herman Gleib in the garden this morning.

00:44:16Could it be that he...

00:44:28You were the first one here.

00:44:29What happened?

00:44:31I was in my room reading.

00:44:33My door was open.

00:44:34I must have dozed off for a minute or so

00:44:36because I awoke to hear Frosch Schnappmann scream.

00:44:38You say your door was open?

00:44:40Yes, my room was very poorly ventilated.

00:44:42And you saw nothing?

00:44:43Heard nothing unusual?

00:44:45Nothing.

00:44:49Carl.

00:44:50What is it?

00:44:51This crucifix.

00:44:53Belonged to Martha.

00:44:56See who it is, Emil.

00:45:00Can you positively identify this as belonging to Martha?

00:45:03Without a doubt.

00:45:04I saw it in her room the night she died.

00:45:07How in the world did it get here?

00:45:08Herman Gleib was in her room.

00:45:10He had that crucifix in his hands.

00:45:12And Herman was here today.

00:45:17Maybe here now, for all we know.

00:45:30Who is it?

00:45:31Ah.

00:45:32Oh.

00:45:36How is she?

00:45:37She's had a real shock this time, but she'll be all right.

00:45:39I'm putting her to bed.

00:45:40Leave her there.

00:45:41Don't let her out of this room.

00:45:42And don't you leave it either.

00:45:43What do you mean?

00:45:45It looks as if Herman Gleib is the killer after all.

00:45:47It's possible he may be hiding here in the castle.

00:45:50Well, what makes you think so?

00:45:51I'll tell you later.

00:45:52Stay in your room.

00:45:53And keep your door locked.

00:45:55Don't worry about that.

00:46:01I heard every word he said.

00:46:03And I don't think there's any use to them searching for Herman.

00:46:06They should look for a dog.

00:46:07A human-faced dog.

00:46:09Andy, the doors and windows are all locked.

00:46:11There's nothing to be afraid of now.

00:46:12Ah, who said I was afraid?

00:46:13I'm not a bit afraid.

00:46:14No, of course you're not afraid, but you must get some rest.

00:46:17Rest in this awful place.

00:46:19With dog-faced Hermans and human-faced bats and blood and murders and vampires.

00:46:34Find anything, Carl?

00:46:36There's an unbroken cobweb in that window.

00:46:39If Herman did it, he came through the door.

00:46:41He must have.

00:46:42And yet I don't understand how he could find his way up here without us hearing him.

00:46:46Yet Emil was asleep.

00:46:48And I was in the library.

00:46:50Yes, he could have done it.

00:46:52The facts all point to it.

00:46:55What was it, Emil?

00:46:56The burgemeister.

00:46:57He has news for her, Brett Schneider, about Herman.

00:47:13Pardon the intrusion, Doctor.

00:47:14Pardon the intrusion.

00:47:15I knew Carl was here.

00:47:16And I thought you wouldn't mind if I ran in to tell him the news.

00:47:19About Herman?

00:47:20Yes.

00:47:21He fell into the devil's well in the cave.

00:47:24He's dead?

00:47:24Dead, dead as a doornail.

00:47:27This ends our troubles, Carl.

00:47:29The vampire's dead.

00:47:30I can feel it in my bones.

00:47:32Hmm.

00:47:33Well, your bones may be wrong.

00:47:36What time did this happen?

00:47:37Quite early, about nine o'clock.

00:47:39The cave is nearly two hours from here.

00:47:41That's why we didn't hear it sooner.

00:47:43Well, it may interest you to know that there's been another death.

00:47:46After your vampire died.

00:47:49Who?

00:47:50Dr. Bonnemann's housekeeper.

00:47:51Right here in her own room.

00:47:53Mother of mercy.

00:47:54What are we going to do?

00:47:56Well, a natural death wouldn't kill a vampire, Carl.

00:47:59You know the accepted theory.

00:48:00A stake driven through the heart.

00:48:02Oh, yes.

00:48:02That's the theory, all right.

00:48:04But, but, but.

00:48:05What what?

00:48:05But they did.

00:48:07They drove a stake through his heart.

00:48:09Good God.

00:48:10Are we living in the Middle Ages?

00:48:11It wasn't through my sanction, Carl.

00:48:13Basawa did it.

00:48:15He told me so himself.

00:48:18Well, that ends the vampire theory as far as I'm concerned.

00:48:21Herman Glyde died in the accepted fashion for killing a vampire.

00:48:25Oh, no.

00:48:26There's some human agency at work here, Doctor.

00:48:28A madman who kills to satisfy some violent, sadistic urge.

00:48:32Yes, you're right, Carl.

00:48:34I've been a fool.

00:48:35A superstitious fool.

00:48:38Did they leave his body in the cave?

00:48:40Yes.

00:48:41Yes, they did.

00:48:42Well, in view of what's happened, don't you think you owe him a decent burial?

00:48:46You're right.

00:48:47In view of what has happened, we do owe him that, Carl.

00:48:50I'll see to it at once this very instant.

00:48:53And I'll make arrangements for Georgiana's removal to the morgue.

00:48:56Good night, Doctor.

00:48:57Pardon the intrusion.

00:48:58Good night, Gustav.

00:48:59Pardon the intrusion.

00:49:04Well, here I am, just where I started weeks ago.

00:49:08There isn't a single theory that doesn't lead straight into a stone wall.

00:49:13I've jested about this vampire business because my better judgment told me it was a lot of monsters.

00:49:18Then I reached the point where I was willing to accept even that.

00:49:21Because it seemed to satisfy the equation.

00:49:24All of it would be superstitious.

00:49:26I don't know which way to turn, where to look, what to look for.

00:49:31Why should anyone want human blood?

00:49:34Why?

00:49:35Why?

00:49:35Calm yourself, Carl.

00:49:37Calm myself.

00:49:38Calm myself with all these unsolved murders staring me in the face and no solution in sight?

00:49:47How much blood is there in the human body, Doctor?

00:49:50About six liters, approximately.

00:49:54Can you think of any purpose for which that amount of blood might be used?

00:49:58No.

00:50:00Not even in transfusion.

00:50:01That's the point which stops me.

00:50:04There isn't any other use for human blood.

00:50:08Murderers leave clues.

00:50:10And these atrocities are murderers, Doctor.

00:50:12Those simple fools in the village can believe what they like.

00:50:14But you and I are same thinking people.

00:50:16And you know and I know, Doctor, that these are murderers.

00:50:20The last one was done here.

00:50:23In this very house, right under this roof.

00:50:26All right, I'll start here.

00:50:28I'm going over every foot of this place, both inside and out.

00:50:32Nobody, sane or insane, is clever enough to get away with murder without leaving a clue of some sort.

00:50:36And I'm going to find that clue.

00:50:37Now, come, Carl.

00:50:38You mustn't let your nerves run away with you.

00:50:40Here.

00:50:41These.

00:50:46These will have to give you a good night's sleep.

00:50:50If there are any clues, they'll be here in the morning when your nerves are calm and your, your mind

00:50:57is clear.

00:50:58Take my advice and go home and rest.

00:51:00I imagine a thousand demons were after me as I came down those stairs.

00:51:04Ruth, didn't I tell you to stay in your room?

00:51:05Yes, but I wanted the doctor to come up and quiet, Andy.

00:51:08You know, I didn't have imagination this time.

00:51:10Of course, Ruth. I'll come right away.

00:51:11Take my advice, young man.

00:51:13Go home and go to bed.

00:51:15Good night, Carl.

00:51:25Good night, Carl.

00:51:27Good night, Doctor.

00:51:56Good night, Doctor.

00:52:40If his lights are on, he must wait, Amy.

00:52:46Wait until he has gone to bed.

00:53:00Good night, Doctor.

00:53:31Good night, Doctor.

00:53:48Good night.

00:53:51Good night.

00:54:01Good night.

00:54:05Good night.

00:54:25Handle him as you did the others, Emil.

00:54:30You are strong, very strong.

00:54:38I am waiting for you, waiting for you to bring him to the laboratory.

00:55:21You, you are the one, what mad thing are you doing?

00:55:25Mad, the one who has solved the secret of life that he has said mad.

00:55:29Light, created in the laboratory.

00:55:30No mere crystalline growth, but tissue.

00:55:34Living, growing tissue.

00:55:36Life that moves, pulsates, and demands food for its continued growth.

00:55:42You shudder in horror.

00:55:44So did I the first time.

00:55:46But what are a few lies to be weighed in the balance against the achievement of biological science?

00:55:50Think of it.

00:55:51I have lifted the base.

00:55:53I have created life.

00:55:55Rested the secret of life from life.

00:55:58Now do you understand?

00:55:59For the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.

00:56:03I'll tell Carl.

00:56:06You may.

00:56:08For tonight, Carl's name will be added to yours.

00:56:11And all of those whom this achievement will immortalize.

00:56:48Okay.

00:57:08So how long does this involve life from Alpena?

00:57:40I didn't take your sleeping tablets, Doctor.

00:58:17Emil brought them here.

00:58:20He's the one who murdered them.

00:58:21Stay where you are.

00:58:22You'll have a chance to tell everything, Doctor.

00:58:35I'll take care of him, Neiman.

00:58:37Get her out of here.

00:59:00You stay here.

00:59:16From Neiman and Emil.

00:59:22Doctor, what are you going to do?

00:59:24Charles, you mustn't see them.

00:59:28Where is Doctor Neiman?

00:59:29I must see him immediately.

00:59:30I'm guessing you can't.

00:59:32He can't be disturbed.

00:59:34Oh, but I must see him.

00:59:34I simply must.

00:59:40You pardon me?

00:59:45Hydrous magnesium sulfate.

00:59:49Well, that's add some salt.

00:59:51Well, that's add some salt.
