00:02:44the blood from their veins.
00:02:46Brrrr.
00:02:47Gotten Himmelbrefsneider, don't jest.
00:02:48Ah, that blood-sucking legend belongs in the same category
00:02:52with werewolves and all other peasant superstitions.
00:02:54But the bats, man. The bats.
00:02:57God, yes. Big ones, so.
00:03:00Oh, now we're switching to bats again.
00:03:02There was an epidemic of giant bats in Kleinschloss in 1643.
00:03:07And at the same time, there was an outbreak of vampirism.
00:03:11Rot.
00:03:12Why, this record from the town archives.
00:03:14Prove it.
00:03:15Says it, not prose it.
00:03:17Well, I'll show you. I'll show you.
00:03:21Now, ah, here it is.
00:03:24And on this day was von Hausmann hanged from a gibbet in the public square
00:03:28after being convicted on a proven charge of vampirism.
00:03:32And on this same day, there did occur the departure of the bats.
00:03:36Thousands of horrible flying creatures which infested the town for weeks.
00:03:40And on the night of this same day, February 13, in the year of our Lord, 1643,
00:03:46was there a stake driven through von Hausmann's heart
00:03:49and his head cut off with a gravedigger shovel.
00:03:53There.
00:03:54Well, all the wreckers in the world can't make me believe in vampires.
00:03:58There are blood sucking bats, yes.
00:04:00In South America, thousands of miles from here, but not in Kleinschloss.
00:04:04But bats fly. They could fly here.
00:04:07You saw the bodies. All of them.
00:04:09Two wounds on the neck right at the jugular vein.
00:04:13Two wounds on the neck pierced and spread apart just as if two fang-like teeth
00:04:17have bitten through the flesh and right into the veins.
00:04:21And in every case, a blood clot eight inches from the victim's neck.
00:04:27The mark of the feast. The devil's signature.
00:04:31Does that appear the mark of a human being or a demon's?
00:04:36God save us, the devils.
00:04:40You ought to make a pretty fair meal for a vampire.
00:04:43But let's be consistent.
00:04:45Are these human vampires or bats?
00:04:49Vampires can take the shape of a human or a bat just as they choose.
00:04:53Oh, they're magicians.
00:04:57Well, it doesn't make sense to me.
00:04:59The whole village is in terror.
00:05:01We live in closed houses, behind locked doors and bolted shutters,
00:05:06not daring to close our eyes,
00:05:08fearful lest this unseen silent death may find us in our sleep,
00:05:12for it is then that it strikes, swiftly, silently, ghastly.
00:05:18My room is tightly closed. The windows are barred, nailed down.
00:05:22Nothing can get in. Nothing.
00:05:26But they tell me vampires can go through stone walls like that.
00:05:30God save me. So they can.
00:05:33We've got to do something, I tell you.
00:05:35Klein's loss will become a deserted village.
00:05:38Well, you might catch all the bats and drown them in the river.
00:05:42Carl, Carl.
00:05:43While you're hunting for vampires and chasing bats,
00:05:45I'm looking for a human being, a murderer, a thief.
00:05:47Well, then do just about it. Do something.
00:05:49I'm trying to.
00:05:50Every hour, every day, every night since this thing started.
00:06:01Do you hear it?
00:06:03Hear it?
00:06:04Yes.
00:06:06Night after night.
00:06:07Lying awake until dawn.
00:06:10Waiting.
00:06:11For what?
00:06:13I don't know.
00:06:15That's what I thought.
00:06:20Good night, gentlemen.
00:06:22Don't let the vampires get you.
00:07:05Are your kisses dynamite?
00:07:08Don't you like my kisses?
00:07:16Well, how's my mastermind this evening?
00:07:19Well, if you want the truth, not so good.
00:07:22The burgermeister and his grand council still stick to the vampire theory.
00:07:26Stick to it?
00:07:27They're quoting history to prove it.
00:07:30I think you and Dr. Von Niemann are the only sane people left in the village.
00:07:34And you?
00:07:34What about you?
00:07:35Hmm, me.
00:07:36Well, I'm beginning to think I'm seven different kinds of a fool.
00:07:40Murders are being done under my very nose.
00:07:44I must be as blind as the bats themselves.
00:07:47I can't find a single clue.
00:07:49Oh, but you will, Carl. You will.
00:07:50Well, I haven't.
00:07:51Oh, Ruth.
00:07:57And here comes dear Aunt Gussie to spread good cheer and hope.
00:08:02Just what I thought.
00:08:03Slaving your life away in this awful place.
00:08:05It hasn't got that nice, clean, wholesome smell of a hospital.
00:08:10How are you, Carl?
00:08:11Oh, quite well, thank you.
00:08:12Well, I'm not.
00:08:13This clammy old place is bound to give me pericarditis,
00:08:17andricarditis, neuritis, this is...
00:08:19Well, anyway, rheumatism.
00:08:20You have some coffee?
00:08:21No, no, thank you, Frau Schnappmann.
00:08:23No, just as well.
00:08:24There's only two cups.
00:08:25Yeah, yeah.
00:08:26That'll take the chill out of your bones.
00:08:28Speaking of chills, Frau Schnappmann,
00:08:31did you know the village is supposed to be infested
00:08:32with ghouls and vampires?
00:08:34Oh, Carl.
00:08:35Vampires.
00:08:37Pariahs among fiends,
00:08:39demoniacal creatures with huge canine teeth
00:08:42who bite deeply into the necks of their victims
00:08:45to craft and gorge on blood, warm human blood.
00:08:50There's no such thing as a vampire called Brett Snyder.
00:08:53I don't believe in it.
00:08:54You're just saying that to frighten me,
00:08:55and I just won't be frightened.
00:08:58I'm entirely too sensible to believe in such rubbish.
00:09:01I beg your pardon.
00:09:02Oh, so would you.
00:09:03I'm sorry if I frightened you.
00:09:05Who said you frightened me?
00:09:07I'm not afraid of anything.
00:09:09Could you tell me where Dr. von Nieman is?
00:09:10We drove to the village to see Martha, the old apple woman.
00:09:42Is this what Dr. Haupt described?
00:09:44Yes, sir.
00:09:45She takes it in water.
00:09:50Well, continue giving it to her.
00:09:52Yes, sir.
00:10:22It's stifling in here.
00:10:24Open these windows.
00:10:25Herman, open windows. Me do. Me do.
00:10:37Well, she'll sleep well now, poor soul.
00:10:40It won't be necessary for you to stay here.
00:10:42A good night's sleep will work wonders for her.
00:10:45It was kind of you to come, Doctor.
00:10:47Oh.
00:10:49Martha has sold me Apple for many years.
00:10:51Always a good, ripe, juicy one.
00:10:54Martha, give me apples. I like.
00:10:59Oh, it's okay. Oh, my goodness.
00:11:03She wants her cross.
00:11:05Herman, get. Herman, get.
00:11:07Here. Here. Now. There. For Martha. There.
00:11:12Oh.
00:11:15She won't let it out of her sight.
00:11:18A terrible experience.
00:11:19To be attacked by a giant bat is enough to shatter anyone's nerves.
00:11:23She talks about it all the time.
00:11:25How it flew in her face and tried to sink its teeth in her throat.
00:11:29No, no, no, no.
00:11:30Bats no do.
00:11:33They soft.
00:11:35Like cat.
00:11:36They not bite Herman.
00:11:38Be quiet, Herman. See what you've done.
00:11:41There. There, there, there, Martha. There.
00:11:48She'll be all right.
00:11:50If she isn't, let me know.
00:11:52Thank you for coming, Doctor.
00:11:54That's all right.
00:11:55Good night.
00:11:56Good night.
00:11:59Run along, Herman.
00:12:01You can see Martha tomorrow.
00:12:03Oh.
00:12:21Hi. Dr. von Neemann.
00:12:23Ah, Crington. How are you?
00:12:24Much better thank you, kindly sir, since you prescribed for me.
00:12:27That's right.
00:12:30Go to bed, Herman.
00:12:31Go to bed.
00:12:32You shouldn't be following on the streets.
00:12:34Dangerous.
00:12:34Oh.
00:12:37I'm afraid.
00:12:39Afraid?
00:12:39Afraid of what, Crington?
00:12:41The bats, sir.
00:12:42Big giant bats.
00:12:44With wingings like an eagle's.
00:12:46You saw this bat, you say?
00:12:48I saw it swooping down the street.
00:12:50It came directly from my throat, sir.
00:12:51When was this, Crington?
00:12:54Last night, when they came to take Von Els.
00:12:56It was a big monstrous thing.
00:12:58I saw it leap across the alley and into a window.
00:13:01I ran just as fast as my legs could carry me.
00:13:04You said nothing about this?
00:13:05There's enough fear in the village already.
00:13:08Maybe I should.
00:13:10Maybe I should.
00:13:12I will.
00:13:13I'll tell the burgermeister.
00:13:14Yes, Crington.
00:13:15That's the thing to do.
00:13:16No.
00:13:18Bats.
00:13:19Bats good.
00:13:21They not hurt Herman.
00:13:23He plays with them.
00:13:25You...
00:13:25You no tell.
00:13:27No.
00:13:28No, no, no, no.
00:13:29Go to bed, Herman.
00:13:30Go on.
00:13:31Go on.
00:13:32Go to bed.
00:13:35You say he plays with bats?
00:13:38His garret is filled with them.
00:13:40He makes pets of them.
00:13:43That's odd.
00:13:44Very odd.
00:13:46Maybe...
00:13:50Maybe he's it.
00:13:53Herman prowls around the streets all hours of the night.
00:13:55Just like an animal.
00:13:57Maybe he's the vampire.
00:13:58Don't start any gossip of that, Crington.
00:14:00Heaven only knows where it might end.
00:14:04Good night.
00:14:05Good night, sir.
00:14:27There.
00:14:29Now, soft, nice...
00:14:34There.
00:14:36See? What did I tell you?
00:14:38Perhaps there's something in what Kringen says.
00:14:41Seems strange that a human being should want to play with bats.
00:14:59He isn't human, I tell you. He's in league with the devil.
00:15:09He's in league with the devil.
00:15:09Put it on. Put it on.
00:15:13There. Thanks.
00:15:15Now go to sleep. You'll be all right in a few days. The doctor says so.
00:15:18Close the window. Close the window.
00:15:21I'm afraid. The vampire.
00:15:24He said leave them open. But I'd have them closed.
00:15:41Do you want the light?
00:15:42Leave the light. I'm afraid.
00:15:45Well, I can't blame you for that either.
00:15:48I'll turn it down a little.
00:15:50Good night.
00:15:51If you want me, just pound on the floor. I'll hear you.
00:15:54All right. Good night.
00:15:57Good night, Martha.
00:16:00Good night.
00:16:01Good night.
00:16:10Good night.
00:16:11Hail Brett Schneider is here to see you, sir.
00:16:13He's in the laboratory with Miss Burton.
00:16:15Oh, thank you.
00:16:20Ah, here you are.
00:16:23Good evening, doctor.
00:16:25Good evening, Ruth.
00:16:26How are you, Carl?
00:16:27Well, I'd feel a lot better if I could find a solution to these murders.
00:16:30You don't believe in this vampire theory, then?
00:16:32Of course not. Do you?
00:16:35There are many strange happenings, my boy.
00:16:38Many mysteries beyond the power of the human mind to comprehend.
00:16:41Have you a theory which might explain these deaths?
00:16:45Well, I'll be pleased to discuss it with you, but not now, not now.
00:16:49I have some very important work to do.
00:16:51Tomorrow, then?
00:16:52Tomorrow?
00:16:52Yes, yes, perhaps.
00:16:54We'll see.
00:16:56Oh, this isn't so important, Miss Burton, that you can't let it go till tomorrow.
00:16:59All right. Thank you, doctor.
00:17:03How about Martha?
00:17:04Oh, nothing serious.
00:17:05Just a case of nerves, that's all.
00:17:08Good night.
00:17:08Good night, doctor.
00:17:09Good night, Carl.
00:17:15Good night.
00:17:58Good night, sir.
00:18:00Name?
00:18:02Martha Muller.
00:18:05Age?
00:18:06I don't know.
00:18:09Cause of death?
00:18:10Like all, the rest.
00:18:12The vampire.
00:18:13Yes, yes, that's so.
00:18:15When I said I was going to tell you, his eyes glowed up like clothes of fire.
00:18:19His hand reached out towards me, as if he were going to sink it into my throat.
00:18:23And weigh this well. He never works and never begs, and yet he appears well fed always.
00:18:29That's so, he does. But what does he live on, then?
00:18:34I'll wager, as Krington says.
00:18:37And my woman was in Martha's room tonight when Herman put a flower in her hand.
00:18:41Strange business, if you ask me. Mighty strange.
00:18:46I hate to be in your shoes, Krington.
00:18:48Yes, after what happened tonight, I'd lock myself in my room and pray God to protect me from the devil.
00:19:12Mr. Fritz?
00:19:13Who is he?
00:19:14Oh, he's open.
00:19:16He's open.
00:19:17Hello.
00:19:19Hello.
00:19:21Hello.
00:19:22Hello.
00:19:23Good evening, dear Landostor.
00:19:25Good evening.
00:19:27Dr. Van Iemen.
00:19:30Dr. Van Iemen.
00:20:15Well, what do you make of it, Doctor?
00:20:18Are these two wounds similar to those found on the other bodies?
00:20:21Dr. Haupt can answer that for you, sir.
00:20:25Yes, they were the same in every case.
00:20:29This is a strange condition, Carl.
00:20:32So strange that I doubt the evidence of my eyes.
00:20:36What was your conclusion, Haupt?
00:20:37I diagnosed the wounds as having been made by needle-sharp teeth.
00:20:44Punches, a clean cut, penetrating into, but not beyond, the jugular vein.
00:20:50Do you mean to say that you also believe they could have been made by teeth?
00:20:54Frankly, I do.
00:20:55Ah, you see, Bret Schneider?
00:20:57What kind of teeth, Doctor?
00:20:59An animal of some sort.
00:21:01It's hard to say.
00:21:03The fangs of a wolf, perhaps.
00:21:05A werewolf?
00:21:06Could they have been made by, well, a bat, for instance?
00:21:11A certain species, yes.
00:21:14There are vampire bats.
00:21:16Dr. William Jamison, who explored many of the tributaries of the upper Amazon,
00:21:21states that blood-sucking bats do exist.
00:21:23He further asserts that the victims often become blood-drinkers themselves,
00:21:28citing a case in which he saw a native tortured to death on an antitool by his tribe brothers.
00:21:33They swore he had become a human bat.
00:21:36And, states Jamison, he confessed it.
00:21:40Do you mean to say that such a thing as a human vampire is possible?
00:21:44Who can say?
00:21:46Historic records would have us believe that an evil soul, assuming there is such,
00:21:51can take any shape it pleases.
00:21:53So why not bring to that of a human being?
00:21:56Eh, Carl?
00:21:57Why not?
00:21:59Have you any literature on the subject, Doctor?
00:22:01Yes.
00:22:02I have many interesting volumes on my shelf that might prove very enlightening.
00:22:06Glad to show them to you.
00:22:08I don't mind admitting that I'm up a tree.
00:22:12Stomped.
00:22:12Well, we'll see what can be done, my boy.
00:22:15No, no, no, Herman.
00:22:16This is no place for you.
00:22:18Go away, my boy.
00:22:18Go away.
00:22:19Good night, Sean.
00:22:20Good night, Doctor.
00:22:20Good night, Hal.
00:22:21Good night, Doctor.
00:22:22Good morning, Carl.
00:22:23Thank you, Doctor.
00:22:24I'm sorry to have dragged you out at such an ungodly hour.
00:22:27Oh, that's all right.
00:22:28That's all right.
00:22:40A child fleeing in horror from the sight of death.
00:22:43There goes the vampire.
00:22:45Arrest him.
00:22:45Lock him up.
00:22:46Kill him.
00:22:47Has the entire village gone mad?
00:22:50Herman wouldn't harm a baby, and you know it.
00:22:52I've walked the streets of this village for over 40 years, but tonight's the end.
00:22:56He knows that I've totally played with bats.
00:22:58He knows that I saw him sneaking to Martha's house just before midnight.
00:23:01Perhaps he was taking her another flower, Cringdon.
00:23:03The boy brought her one this evening while I was there.
00:23:06He killed her just like he did all the rest.
00:23:08And now he's gonna kill me.
00:23:10Unless he's killed in a state driven through his heart, I'm a doomed man.
00:23:14He'll kill me.
00:23:16He'll kill me.
00:23:17I'm doomed.
00:23:17He'll kill me.
00:23:19He'll kill me.
00:23:20I'm a doomed man.
00:23:21He'll kill me.
00:23:27He'll kill me.
00:23:41He's killed me.
00:23:47And then you're like, congrats.
00:23:49He's CAL эконом how much he can change his heart.
00:23:51He's killed me.
00:23:51He first went.
00:23:51He's aasa, he wasn'tkad.
00:23:57In a tiny世界, we grew because he knew I would move away.
00:24:11Good morning, Mr. Bretschneider.
00:24:13What brings you to Kleinschloss so well, eh?
00:24:15You!
00:24:16Bibber, I heard the doctor tell Georgiana he expected you.
00:24:20I knew there was something else.
00:24:22You're a delightful prevaricator, Carl, but not a very convincing one.
00:24:40Oh, you don't mind me using your stethoscope, do you, doctor?
00:24:44Not at all, Frau Schnappen.
00:24:45What seems to be the ailment this morning?
00:24:47What's that?
00:24:50Oh.
00:24:51What seems to be the ailment this morning?
00:24:53Well, doctor, I am positive that I have valvular degleage of the aorta.
00:24:58Or maybe it's the, um, the right ventricle.
00:25:02Hmm.
00:25:02There is something wrong with my heart.
00:25:04I can hear it beat, thump, thump, thump, thump, just like the book says.
00:25:08Well, if you didn't hear it beating thump, thump, thump, just as the book says,
00:25:11I would say there is something wrong.
00:25:14What?
00:25:15Without a moon?
00:25:16You have a heart of stone.
00:25:18All right, then.
00:25:19Close your eyes.
00:25:24No.
00:25:28Oh, so, young lady.
00:25:30It's too early in the morning, Carl.
00:25:32Much too early.
00:25:32Oh, is it?
00:25:34Oh, there's Aunt Gussie.
00:25:39She would show up just at a time like this.
00:25:43Oh.
00:25:44Oh.
00:25:46Oh.
00:25:48Well, Aunt Gussie, what's the matter now?
00:25:50I have palpitation of the auricular, ventricular, and microvalves with a cordache tendency.
00:25:57See?
00:25:58You mean your heart's beating?
00:26:00Of course it's beating.
00:26:02Dr. Von Neelan tried to assure me, but I know.
00:26:06I know.
00:26:06It's serious.
00:26:07I'm liable to go just like that.
00:26:08Beedipus cried for you, dear.
00:26:10Yes.
00:26:12Monacidester, salicylic acid.
00:26:13You mean salicylic acid, don't you?
00:26:15Well, salicylic or salicylic.
00:26:17It's helped me.
00:26:17My heart is much quieter.
00:26:20Hello, Carl.
00:26:21Hello.
00:26:22Oh, Carl.
00:26:23You'll be good to her when I'm gone, won't you?
00:26:25Yes, of course I will, Frosch, not mine.
00:26:27Well, I'm not gone yet.
00:26:29You can't marry her unless I say so.
00:26:31Don't forget that.
00:26:33Oh, my heart.
00:26:34There, Aunt E.
00:26:35You'll be all right.
00:26:36Just rest a while.
00:26:37But you need a...
00:26:38What?
00:26:39Rest, dear.
00:26:40Quiet.
00:26:53And Gussie has a heart like a steam engine.
00:26:56Carl.
00:27:32Cucu, Cucu, Lila.
00:27:35Cucu, Cucu.
00:27:36Cucu.
00:27:37Come on.
00:27:38Come on, Cucu.
00:27:39Cucu, baby.
00:27:40Come on.
00:27:41Come on.
00:27:42Come on.
00:27:42Come on.
00:27:43Come on.
00:27:46Come on.
00:27:47Come on.
00:27:48Come on.
00:27:49Come on.
00:27:52Come on.
00:27:53You nasty little beast.
00:28:05Don't you know it's wrong to steal?
00:28:08You've cut yourself.
00:28:09See?
00:28:10Blood.
00:28:11Yes.
00:28:12Stop it.
00:28:13Stop it.
00:28:14No hurt me.
00:28:15No hurt.
00:28:16No, you poor thing.
00:28:17Now you wait right here and I'll run in the house and get something for that finger.
00:28:20A subcutaneous wound like that might easily result in a tetanus infection.
00:28:25Tetan...
00:28:26Tetan...
00:28:26Tetanus.
00:28:28Lockjaw.
00:28:29Not that you need be afraid.
00:28:31From the way you talk, I think you've got it already.
00:28:34Look.
00:28:34Here's a nice juicy apple for you.
00:28:51Ah, this is it.
00:28:55Traits sur les apprisions des esprits et sur les vampires, by Augustin Dorme Calame, in 1746.
00:29:04Hmm.
00:29:06Let us suppose that these corpses do not actually stir from their tombs, that only the ghosts
00:29:10or spirits appear to the living.
00:29:13Wherefore do these phantoms present themselves and what is it that energizes them?
00:29:17Is it actually the soul of the dead man which has not yet departed to its final destination?
00:29:22Fiddlesticks.
00:29:24Now how could a corpse buried under four or five feet of burghets get out to do any such foolishness?
00:29:29I don't believe it.
00:29:30It's a fair question, Doctor.
00:29:32How could it?
00:29:33Well, according to accepted theory, the vampire dematerializes its body and reintegrates it outside the grain.
00:29:41It's a good explanation, if you can believe it.
00:29:43And while I'm standing here listening to all this rubbish, there's a poor man in the garden in danger of
00:29:48a tetanus infection.
00:29:49Now what should I do for him, Doctor?
00:29:51Shall I apply a mercurocrone or a two percent solution to biocloride?
00:29:54Well, either will do.
00:29:55Get some gauze and some mercurocrone.
00:29:58Thank you, Doctor.
00:29:58I'll wait here.
00:30:00Difficult to believe, isn't it?
00:30:02It's impossible to believe.
00:30:05And yet, it would explain these deaths, wouldn't it?
00:30:13Ah, Brett Schneider.
00:30:15Pardon their intrusion, Doctor von Niemann.
00:30:17But after what you saw last night, you'll be interested in this as well.
00:30:21Well, what's happened?
00:30:22Gringen was found dead an hour ago.
00:30:25With the two punctures in his neck and not a drop of blood in his body.
00:30:29And what's more, Herman Gleib has disappeared.
00:30:35What?
00:30:36Now are you convinced that we were right and you were wrong?
00:30:38That'd be proof enough for anybody.
00:30:41Gringen said Herman would get him, and he did.
00:30:43Well, Brett Schneider?
00:30:45I appoint you my deputy.
00:30:47Organize a searching party and comb this countryside from one end to the other.
00:30:51Find Herman Gleib and bring him in, but don't harm him.
00:30:53Do you understand?
00:30:54What good will that do?
00:30:56He's the vampire.
00:30:57There's only one thing for us to do when we find him.
00:31:00Kill him and drive a stake through his act.
00:31:02Herman Gleib will be tried by a court of law.
00:31:06The charge against him is proven true.
00:31:07The law will decide what to do with him, not you.
00:31:09Now get your men together and do as I tell you.
00:31:11That's the way to talk.
00:31:14I'm going into town for a little while, Doctor.
00:31:16Would you care to come along?
00:31:17Oh, I hardly believe so.
00:31:19As it'll be done until they find the boy.
00:31:21If you need me then, I'll...
00:31:22All right, thanks.
00:31:23I'll let you know.
00:31:31I feel as though I was going to paint.
00:31:33Oh, there, Auntie.
00:31:33There's nothing here to be afraid of.
00:31:35Here comes Emil with your mercurochromed bandages.
00:31:38Run along now and take care of that patient of yours.
00:31:40Oh, heavens.
00:31:41I forgot all about him.
00:31:43Oh.
00:31:44Oh, my heart.
00:31:46Oh.
00:31:48Poor Auntie.
00:31:49She's had every ailment in the book.
00:31:51There's a lot that aren't, I'm afraid.
00:31:53Particularly a palpitation of the auriculoventricular tricuspid and mitral valves, Doctor.
00:32:00Well, I had to tell her something to satisfy her.
00:32:12Here, here.
00:32:13You mustn't do that.
00:32:16Now, where's that finger?
00:32:23You good like Martha.
00:32:26She give me apples.
00:32:30Herman like you.
00:32:33Are you Herman?
00:32:35Me, Herman?
00:32:38You give me apple?
00:32:40Herman give you nice, soft bat.
00:33:05Herать!
00:33:10A straw!
00:33:11I put her in a hole now.
00:33:15I put her in a dead valley.
00:33:17It scraps are wasn't enough.
00:33:18Just my boy, am clear.
00:33:19Jesus is no longer a pain.
00:33:20Russo would leave behind the curtain.
00:33:21Surely that's enough for me there is no longer a pain.
00:33:41Oh, oh!
00:33:43Oh, Herman!
00:33:43Now you go away, Herman.
00:33:45I know you.
00:33:45I know you.
00:33:46Don't you touch me.
00:33:46I know you, Herman.
00:33:53Go away, Herman! Go away!
00:33:54Go away!
00:34:21What is it, Georgiana?
00:34:22I just found this in Emil's room.
00:34:26Well?
00:34:27It belonged to my friend, Martha Mueller.
00:34:30Are you certain?
00:34:31I gave it to her myself.
00:34:33Martha died last night.
00:34:34I find her crucifix in Emil's room.
00:34:37Doesn't that mean Emil is the one Herr Brett Schneider is seeking?
00:34:40This amazes me, Georgiana.
00:34:43It is impossible.
00:34:45It rained the night Von Els died.
00:34:47There was mud on Emil's shoes the next morning.
00:34:50Have you mentioned this to anyone?
00:34:51I intend to tell Herr Brett Schneider when he calls again.
00:34:54I can't believe it.
00:34:58Leave this with me.
00:35:00I want to talk to Emil before you say anything to anyone.
00:35:03The burgemeister should know at once.
00:35:04Yes, all in good time.
00:35:06Emil has been with me too long for us to jump to conclusions.
00:35:12Don't say anything until I tell you and send Emil to me.
00:35:15Very well, Doctor.
00:35:27That's for the neuritis.
00:35:31And the pepsin.
00:35:32That hassenfaffer was tougher than shoe leather.
00:35:34And sweet-spirited lighter.
00:35:36That will help.
00:35:37At least it won't do any harm.
00:35:38And ginger.
00:35:41That will warm us tonic.
00:35:43And now, a little pipe on the soda.
00:35:53A little bit of a debate.
00:36:12Don't wait.
00:36:13I'll take it.
00:36:14Let me be back.
00:36:14Come on.
00:36:15Oh.
00:36:20We'll get him now.
00:37:06Come on, men.
00:37:08We've got him. He can't get away from me now.
00:37:11Some of you's around that way.
00:37:13Quiet!
00:37:14Enemy, come on!
00:37:15Try to get past you. You know what to do.
00:37:28Come on, men.
00:37:31Get over here.
00:37:47Here, boys!
00:37:51Herman, you're going back to the village with us.
00:37:55Come on.
00:37:57We won't hurt you.
00:37:59No.
00:38:00No, we won't go.
00:38:02I'm afraid.
00:38:04Come on.
00:38:06You're going with us, Herman.
00:38:08No.
00:38:09You're going with us.
00:38:11No.
00:38:11Come on.
00:38:12No!
00:38:17Come on, Herman.
00:38:18We won't hurt you.
00:38:20Come on.
00:38:20No!
00:38:21Come on, Herman.
00:38:22No!
00:38:29No!
00:38:39Come.
00:38:40That settles him.
00:38:41Yes.
00:38:42Yes, let's go.
00:38:42We've got him down the road.
00:38:51We've got to make certain.
00:38:53I won't go down there.
00:38:56Nobody ask you to.
00:38:59I'll go myself.
00:39:01Can you see him?
00:39:03He's on a ledge about 50 feet down.
00:39:08I'll get a rope.
00:39:10We've got to make certain, I tell you.
00:39:27You must be careful, Emil.
00:39:31Very careful.
00:39:59No.
00:40:02No.
00:40:03It must be.
00:40:03It must be.
00:40:06She's no better than the rest.
00:40:09I've got to go on.
00:40:10That's a very careful.
00:40:11Go, would you say.
00:40:13He's doing everything.
00:40:22It's right.
00:40:30It's a little bit.
00:40:33It's over.
00:40:36You may show up theérie.
00:40:37It's open.
00:40:38It's open.
00:40:39It's open.
00:42:33Thank you, Doctor.
00:42:34Good evening.
00:42:34I'm sorry to have to disturb you, Doctor, but we simply couldn't make Georgiana hear the bell.
00:42:38That's quite all right, my dear.
00:42:39Georgiana's becoming careless.
00:42:41Very careless.
00:42:42Yes, I've noticed that too.
00:42:43In my opinion, she has Nagana.
00:42:46That's sleeping sickness.
00:42:47You know the symptoms, Doctor.
00:42:49At first, I thought it was creeping paralysis, so I stuck a pin in her leg to see.
00:42:53And there was a splendid reaction of the reflex motor nerve.
00:42:55Why, Auntie, you're shocked.
00:42:58So was she.
00:42:59Won't you join me in some coffee?
00:43:01Yes, thanks, Doctor.
00:43:01We will.
00:43:02There are a few questions I'd like to ask you, Pa.
00:43:04About blood and murders and vampires, I suppose.
00:43:07Yes, I'm afraid so.
00:43:08So am I.
00:43:09Well, good night.
00:43:11If such a thing is possible, I'm going to bed.
00:43:13Won't you join us too fresh, Naperman?
00:43:14Coffee at this hour of the night?
00:43:15No, thank you.
00:43:17I'm going to stick to my monacidester, psilic salic salad.
00:43:20Acid, Doctor.
00:43:21Acid.
00:43:22Good night.
00:43:28What's the news in the village, Carl?
00:43:30Have they located Herming yet?
00:43:32No, not a trace of him.
00:43:34I hate to think of that poor misfit being hunted down like a dog.
00:43:39You know, I simply can't bring myself to believe in that vampire theory.
00:43:43Will you pour, Ruth?
00:43:44Certainly.
00:43:45I know, Carl.
00:43:47Our sena, calmer judgment tells us that such things can't be.
00:43:51And yet, here, for instance, in this ponderous tome,
00:43:55are cited a thousand and one phobias and complexes that human beings are heir to.
00:44:00Some of them are strange, more untenable even than werewolves and vampires.
00:44:07Could I have some more, please?
00:44:09You drink entirely too much coffee.
00:44:11That's my one weakness.
00:44:12And also my excuse for tolerating Georgiana's laxity and other things.
00:44:16She does know how to make good coffee.
00:44:20She brings it to me every night at exactly ten o'clock.
00:44:23And when I've drunk it all, then I know it's time to quit.
00:44:27Yes.
00:44:27And eat breakfast so you can have more coffee.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:40Georgiana!
00:44:41You mustn't lie like that.
00:44:46Go get yourself a tarticula.
00:44:49No.
00:44:49Sit next.
00:44:50Georgiana!
00:44:56That was Auntie.
00:45:08Auntie.
00:45:08Auntie!
00:45:12Oh, my God.
00:45:14I'm all right.
00:45:15I'm all right now.
00:45:16Oh, it's just like...
00:45:17Ava, help the flower snap into a room.
00:45:19My silly imagination.
00:45:20I...
00:45:21I imagine...
00:45:22I saw Joseph...
00:45:35The same two wounds, Doctor.
00:45:38And my last words to her were angry ones.
00:45:42A petulant reprimand of being late with my coffee.
00:45:44What time is that?
00:45:46About two, three minutes after ten.
00:45:48She's been dead then about 45 minutes.
00:45:54Bloodless like the rest.
00:45:58It passes all belief.
00:46:03Ruth's aunt saw Herman Gleib in the garden this morning.
00:46:07Could it be that he...
00:46:19You were the first one here.
00:46:21What happened?
00:46:22I was in my room reading.
00:46:24My door was open.
00:46:26I must have dozed off for a minute or so
00:46:28because I awoke to hear Frosh Schnappmann scream.
00:46:30You say your door was open?
00:46:32Yes, my room is very poorly ventilated.
00:46:34And you saw nothing?
00:46:35Heard nothing unusual?
00:46:37Nothing.
00:46:41Carl.
00:46:42What is it?
00:46:44This crucifix.
00:46:45It belonged to Martha.
00:46:49See you with you, Emil.
00:46:53Can you positively identify this as belonging to Martha?
00:46:55Without a doubt.
00:46:57I saw it in her room the night she died.
00:47:00How in the world did it get here?
00:47:01Herman Gleib was in her room.
00:47:03He had their crucifix in his hands.
00:47:06And Herman was here today.
00:47:11Maybe here now, for all we know.
00:47:24Who is it?
00:47:25How?
00:47:26Oh.
00:47:30How is she?
00:47:31She's had a real shock this time.
00:47:32But she'll be all right.
00:47:33I'm putting her to bed.
00:47:34Leave her there.
00:47:35Don't let her out of this room.
00:47:37And don't you leave it either.
00:47:38What do you mean?
00:47:39It looks as if Herman Gleib is the killer after all.
00:47:42It's possible he may be hiding here in the castle.
00:47:45What makes you think so?
00:47:46I'll tell you later.
00:47:47Stay in your room.
00:47:48And keep your door locked.
00:47:50Don't worry about that.
00:47:57I heard every word he said.
00:47:59And I don't think there's any use of them searching for Herman.
00:48:01They should look for a dog.
00:48:03A human-faced dog.
00:48:04Andy, the doors and windows are all locked.
00:48:06There's nothing to be afraid of now.
00:48:08Who said I was afraid?
00:48:09I'm not a bit afraid.
00:48:10No, of course you're not afraid.
00:48:12But you must get some rest.
00:48:13In this awful place.
00:48:15With dog-faced Hermans.
00:48:17And human-faced bats.
00:48:18And blood.
00:48:19And murders.
00:48:20And vampires.
00:48:31Find anything, Carl?
00:48:33There's an unbroken cobweb in that window.
00:48:36If Herman did it, he came through the door.
00:48:38He must have.
00:48:39And yet I don't understand how he could find his way up here without us hearing him.
00:48:44Yet Emil was asleep.
00:48:45And I was in the library.
00:48:47Yes, he could have done it.
00:48:49The facts all point to it.
00:48:52What was it, Emil?
00:48:54The burgermeister.
00:48:55He has news for her Brettschneider about Herman.
00:49:00Oh.
00:49:11Pardon the intrusion, Doctor.
00:49:12Pardon the intrusion.
00:49:13I knew Carl was here.
00:49:15And I thought you wouldn't mind if I ran in to tell him the news.
00:49:18About Herman?
00:49:18Yes.
00:49:19He fell into the devil's well in the cave.
00:49:22He's dead?
00:49:23Dead does a doornail.
00:49:25This ends our troubles, Carl.
00:49:28The vampire's dead.
00:49:29I can feel it in my bones.
00:49:31Hmm.
00:49:32Well, your bones may be wrong.
00:49:35What time did this happen?
00:49:36Quite early.
00:49:37About nine o'clock.
00:49:38The cave is nearly two hours from here.
00:49:40That's why we didn't hear it sooner.
00:49:43Well, it may interest you to know that there's been another death.
00:49:46After your vampire died.
00:49:48Who?
00:49:49Who?
00:49:50Dr. von Neumann's housekeeper.
00:49:51Right here in her own room.
00:49:53Mother of mercy!
00:49:55What are we going to do?
00:49:56Well, a natural death wouldn't kill a vampire, Carl.
00:49:59You know the accepted theory.
00:50:00A state driven through the heart.
00:50:02Oh, yes.
00:50:03That's the theory, all right.
00:50:04But, but, but...
00:50:05But what?
00:50:06But they did.
00:50:07They drove a stake through his heart.
00:50:10Good God!
00:50:11Are we living in the Middle Ages?
00:50:12It wasn't through my sanction, Carl.
00:50:14Basauer did it.
00:50:15He told me so himself.
00:50:19Well, that ends the vampire theory as far as I'm concerned.
00:50:22Herman Gleib died in the accepted fashion for killing a vampire.
00:50:27Oh, no.
00:50:27There's some human agency at work here, Doctor.
00:50:29A madman who kills to satisfy some violent, sadistic urge.
00:50:34Yes, yes.
00:50:34You're right, Carl.
00:50:35I've been a fool.
00:50:36A superstitious fool.
00:50:40Did they leave his body in the cave?
00:50:41Yes.
00:50:42Yes, they did.
00:50:44Well, in view of what's happened, don't you think you owe him a decent burial?
00:50:48You're right.
00:50:49In view of what has happened, we do owe him that, Carl.
00:50:53I'll see to it at once, this very instant.
00:50:55And I'll make arrangements for Georgiana's removal to the morgue.
00:50:59Good night, Doctor.
00:51:00Pardon the intrusion.
00:51:01Good night, Gustav.
00:51:02Pardon the intrusion.
00:51:07Well, here I am, just where I started weeks ago.
00:51:11There isn't a single theory that doesn't lead straight into a stone wall.
00:51:16I've jested about this vampire business because my better judgment told me it was a lot of nonsense.
00:51:21Then I reached the point where I was willing to accept even that.
00:51:25Because it seemed to satisfy the equation.
00:51:28All of it would have been superstitious.
00:51:30I don't know which way to turn.
00:51:32Where to look?
00:51:33What to look for?
00:51:35Why should anyone want human blood?
00:51:38Why?
00:51:39Why?
00:51:40Calm yourself, Carl.
00:51:41Calm myself.
00:51:43Calm myself.
00:51:44With all these unsolved murders staring me in the face and no solution in sight?
00:51:52How much blood is there in the human body, Doctor?
00:51:55About six liters, approximately.
00:51:59Can you think of any purpose for which that amount of blood might be used?
00:52:04No.
00:52:05Not even in transfusions.
00:52:07That's the point which stops me.
00:52:09There isn't any other use for human blood.
00:52:14Murderers leave clues.
00:52:16And these atrocities are murders, Doctor.
00:52:18Those simple fools in the village can believe what they like.
00:52:20But you and I are sane-thinking people.
00:52:22And you know and I know, Doctor, that these are murders.
00:52:27The last one was done here.
00:52:29In this very house, right under this roof.
00:52:33All right, I'll start here.
00:52:35I'm going over every foot of this place, both inside and out.
00:52:38Nobody, sane or insane, is clever enough to get away with murder without leaving a clue of some sort.
00:52:42And I'm going to find that clue.
00:52:44Now, come, Carl.
00:52:45You mustn't let your nerves run away with you.
00:52:46Here.
00:52:48These.
00:52:52These will have to give you a good night's sleep.
00:52:58If there are any clues, they'll be here in the morning when your nerves are calm and your mind is
00:53:05clear.
00:53:05Take my advice and go home and rest.
00:53:08I imagine a thousand demons were after me as I came down those stairs.
00:53:11Ruth, didn't I tell you to stay in your room?
00:53:13Yes, but I wanted the Doctor to come up and quiet, Auntie.
00:53:16You know, it isn't her imagination this time.
00:53:18Of course, Ruth. I'll come right away.
00:53:19Take my advice, young man.
00:53:21Go home and go to bed.
00:53:24Good night, Carl.
00:53:26Good night, Ruth.
00:53:34Good night, Carl.
00:53:36Good night, Doctor.
00:53:54Good night.
00:54:52If his lights are on, you must wait, Emil.
00:54:59Wait until he has gone to bed.
00:56:42Handle him as you did the others, Emil.
00:56:47You are strong.
00:56:50Very strong.
00:56:55I am waiting for you.
00:56:59I am waiting for you to bring him to the laboratory.
00:57:05I am waiting for you.
00:57:57It moves, pulsates and demands food for its continued growth.
00:58:02You shudder in horror.
00:58:04So did I the first time.
00:58:06But what will a few lies be weighed in the balance against the achievement of biological science?
00:58:10Think of it.
00:58:12I have lifted the veil.
00:58:14I have created life.
00:58:16Rested the secret of life from life.
00:58:18Now do you understand?
00:58:20Now do you understand?
00:58:20For the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.
00:58:24I'll tell Carl.
00:58:27You may.
00:58:29For tonight, Carl's name will be added to yours.
00:58:33And all of those who miss the chief will immortalize.
00:58:56And all of those who have gone before, I will go to the engine.
01:00:06Yes, doctor.
01:01:01I'll take care of her, Neiman.
01:01:03Get her out of here.
01:01:27You stay here.
01:01:44Von Neiman and Emil.
01:01:50Dr. Von Neiman.
01:01:52Oh, she mustn't see them.
01:01:56Where is Dr. Von Neiman?
01:01:58I must see him immediately.
01:01:59I'm guessing you can't.
01:02:01He can't be disturbed.
01:02:02Oh, but I must see him.
01:02:03I simply must.
01:02:04And that hydrous magnesium sulfate he gave me is affecting me most peculiarly.
01:02:10You'll pardon me?
01:02:14Hydrous magnesium sulfate.
01:02:18Well, that's Epsom salts.
