1. "The Diary of Jonathan Harker.Copy !req
2. May 3, 1885.Copy !req
3. At last my long journey
is drawing to its close.Copy !req
4. What the eventual end will be,
I cannot foresee.Copy !req
5. But whatever may happen,
I can rest secure...Copy !req
6. that I will have done all
in my power to achieve success.Copy !req
7. The last lap of my journey
from the village of Klausenburg...Copy !req
8. proved to be more difficult
than I had anticipated...Copy !req
9. due to the reluctance on the part
of the coach driver to take me all the way.Copy !req
10. However, as there was no other
transport available...Copy !req
11. I was forced to travel the last
few kilometers on foot...Copy !req
12. before arriving at Castle Dracula.Copy !req
13. The castle appeared
innocuous enough in the warm...Copy !req
14. afternoon sun,
and all seemed normal...Copy !req
15. but for one thing:
There were no birds singing.Copy !req
16. As I crossed the wooden bridge,
and entered the gateway...Copy !req
17. it suddenly seemed
to become much colder...Copy !req
18. due, no doubt, to the icy waters
of the mountain torrent...Copy !req
19. I had just crossed.Copy !req
20. However, I deemed myself lucky
to have secured this post...Copy !req
21. and did not intend
to falter in my purpose."Copy !req
22. I'm sorry. I didn't hear you come in.Copy !req
23. My name's Jonathan Harker.
I'm the new librarian.Copy !req
24. You will help me, won't you?Copy !req
25. Say you will, please!Copy !req
26. - How can I help you?
- Get me away from here.Copy !req
27. - But why?
- He is keeping me prisoner.Copy !req
28. Who is? Count Dracula?Copy !req
29. I'm afraid I don't understand.Copy !req
30. Please. Please help me to escape!Copy !req
31. Mr. Harker. I am glad that
you have arrived safely.Copy !req
32. Count Dracula?Copy !req
33. I am Dracula.
And I welcome you to my house.Copy !req
34. I must apologize for not being here
to greet you personally...Copy !req
35. but I trust you've found
everything you needed.Copy !req
36. Thank you, sir.
It was most thoughtful.Copy !req
37. It was the least that I could do
after such a journey.Copy !req
38. Yes, it is a long journey.Copy !req
39. And tiring for you, no doubt.
Permit me to show you to your room.Copy !req
40. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
41. No, please, allow me.Copy !req
42. Unfortunately, my housekeeper
is away at the moment.Copy !req
43. A family bereavement,
you understand?Copy !req
44. - Yes, of course.
- However, I think you will find...Copy !req
45. that everything has been
prepared for your comfort.Copy !req
46. How soon may I start work, sir?Copy !req
47. As soon as you wish. There are a large
number of volumes to be indexed.Copy !req
48. Is there anything else
you require, Mr. Harker?Copy !req
49. No, I don't think so.
You've been very kind.Copy !req
50. On the contrary,
it is entirely my privilege.Copy !req
51. I consider myself fortunate
to have found such...Copy !req
52. a distinguished scholar
to work as my librarian.Copy !req
53. I like quiet and seclusion.Copy !req
54. This house, I think, offers that.Copy !req
55. Then we are both satisfied.
An admirable arrangement.Copy !req
56. But there is just
one more thing, Mr. Harker.Copy !req
57. I have to go out tonight
and I will not be back...Copy !req
58. until after sundown tomorrow.Copy !req
59. But until then, please look upon
this house as your own.Copy !req
60. - Good night, Mr. Harker.
- Good night, sir.Copy !req
61. As I shall be away for so long,
I think it better that...Copy !req
62. you should have the key
of the library, Mr. Harker.Copy !req
63. Thank you.Copy !req
64. You will find the library
to the left of the hall.Copy !req
65. - May I?
- Yes, certainly.Copy !req
66. - Your wife?
- No, my fiancé.Copy !req
67. You are a very
fortunate man, Mr. Harker.Copy !req
68. - May I ask her name?
- Lucy.Copy !req
69. Lucy Holmwood.Copy !req
70. - Charming. Charming.
- You are very kind.Copy !req
71. Good night.Copy !req
72. Sleep well, Mr. Harker.Copy !req
73. "At last I have met Count Dracula.Copy !req
74. He accepts me as a man
who has agreed...Copy !req
75. to work among his books,
as I intended.Copy !req
76. It only remains for me now
to await the daylight hours...Copy !req
77. when, with God's help...Copy !req
78. I will forever end...Copy !req
79. this man's reign of terror."Copy !req
80. Mr. Harker, you will help me?Copy !req
81. If it's at all possible.Copy !req
82. But tell me, why is Count Dracula
keeping you prisoner?Copy !req
83. I... I cannot tell you that.Copy !req
84. But if I am to help you,
I must know.Copy !req
85. I'm sorry, it's not possible.Copy !req
86. You make it very difficult for me.Copy !req
87. After all, I am a guest here.Copy !req
88. If I'm to help you
I must have a reason.Copy !req
89. A reason! You ask for a reason!Copy !req
90. Is it not reason enough
that he keeps me locked up...Copy !req
91. in this house,
holds me against my will?Copy !req
92. You can have no idea
what an evil man he is!Copy !req
93. What terrible things he does!Copy !req
94. I could not... dare not try
to leave on my own.Copy !req
95. He would find me again, I know.Copy !req
96. But with you to help me,
I would have a chance.Copy !req
97. Oh, you must help me! You must!
You're my only hope!Copy !req
98. You must!Copy !req
99. I'll help you, I promise.Copy !req
100. Please don't distress yourself.Copy !req
101. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
102. "I have become a victim of Dracula
and the woman in his power.Copy !req
103. It may be that I am doomed
to be one of them.Copy !req
104. If that is so...Copy !req
105. I can only pray...Copy !req
106. that whoever finds my body...Copy !req
107. will possess the knowledge...Copy !req
108. to do what is necessary...Copy !req
109. to release my soul.Copy !req
110. I have lost a day.
Soon it will be dark.Copy !req
111. While my senses
are still my own...Copy !req
112. I must do what I set out to do.Copy !req
113. I must find the resting
place of Dracula...Copy !req
114. and there end
his existence forever.Copy !req
115. Soon it will be sundown
and they will walk again.Copy !req
116. I do not have much time."Copy !req
117. - Good day, sir.
- Good day.Copy !req
118. - May I have a brandy, please?
- Certainly, sir.Copy !req
119. - Traveling far?
- Not much farther, I hope.Copy !req
120. Is it possible to have a meal?Copy !req
121. Well, yes, sir.Copy !req
122. Inga!Copy !req
123. Only a simple one,
I'm afraid, sir.Copy !req
124. - Your change, sir.
- Thank you.Copy !req
125. We don't get many travelers in these parts.
Not that stop, anyway.Copy !req
126. You had one a few days ago,
I believe. A Mr. Harker.Copy !req
127. - Harker, sir?
- Yes.Copy !req
128. He's a friend of mine.Copy !req
129. - He wrote to me from this address.
- Not here, sir.Copy !req
130. I remember the gentleman.
He gave me a letter to post.Copy !req
131. Hold your tongue, girl!Copy !req
132. Was this the letter?Copy !req
133. - I'm not sure.
- Perhaps you remember the name.Copy !req
134. Dr. Van Helsing.Copy !req
135. I'm not sure.Copy !req
136. Go and prepare a meal for this gentleman.
At once, do you hear me?Copy !req
137. What are you afraid of?Copy !req
138. I don't understand you.Copy !req
139. Why all these garlic flowers?
Over the window...Copy !req
140. and up here?Copy !req
141. They're not for
decoration, are they?Copy !req
142. I don't know what
you're talking about.Copy !req
143. I think you do.Copy !req
144. And I think you know
something about my friend.Copy !req
145. He came here with
a purpose, to help you.Copy !req
146. We haven't asked for any help.Copy !req
147. You need it all the same.Copy !req
148. Look, sir, you're a stranger
here in Klausenburg.Copy !req
149. Some things are best left alone...Copy !req
150. such as interfering in things
which are beyond our powers.Copy !req
151. No please, don't misunderstand me.Copy !req
152. This is more than
a superstition, I know.Copy !req
153. The danger is very real.Copy !req
154. If the investigation that Mr. Harker and I
are engaged upon is successful...Copy !req
155. not only you, but the whole
world will benefit.Copy !req
156. Castle Dracula is somewhere
here in Klausenburg.Copy !req
157. Will you tell me how I get there?Copy !req
158. You ordered a meal, sir. As an innkeeper
is my duty to serve you.Copy !req
159. When you have eaten,
I ask you to go and leave us in peace.Copy !req
160. Your meal will be ready in a minute, sir,
if you'd like to take a seat.Copy !req
161. Thank you.Copy !req
162. This was found at the crossroads
near that place.Copy !req
163. He told me to burn it.Copy !req
164. But your friend was such
a nice gentleman, I couldn't.Copy !req
165. Harker?Copy !req
166. Harker?Copy !req
167. Harker?Copy !req
168. Harker!Copy !req
169. I'm sorry, Mr. Holmwood,
but I really cannot...Copy !req
170. tell you anything more
about how he died.Copy !req
171. Cannot or will not?Copy !req
172. Whichever you wish.Copy !req
173. Dr. Van Helsing,
I am not at all satisfied.Copy !req
174. You suddenly appear and tell us
that Jonathan Harker is dead...Copy !req
175. and yet you will not tell us
where or how he died.Copy !req
176. - I find it extremely suspicious.
- Arthur!Copy !req
177. You have the death certificate.Copy !req
178. Yes, signed by you.Copy !req
179. When did he die, Doctor?Copy !req
180. - 10 days ago, Mrs. Holmwood.
- 10 days ago!Copy !req
181. - Where was he buried?
- He was cremated.Copy !req
182. - By whose authority?
- His own.Copy !req
183. As his friend and colleague,
he told me...Copy !req
184. some time ago
that he would wish it.Copy !req
185. You must know that Jonathan
was going to marry my sister Lucy.Copy !req
186. Surely you could have written.Copy !req
187. I felt it would have been less of a shock
if I came and told her personally.Copy !req
188. I would rather
you didn't see my sister.Copy !req
189. My wife and I will tell her.Copy !req
190. Very well. I'm sorry.Copy !req
191. Will you please express
my sympathy to miss Lucy?Copy !req
192. If she wishes to get in touch with me,
I am at her service.Copy !req
193. Oh, Gerda. Dr. Van Helsing is leaving,
will you show him to the door?Copy !req
194. - Yes, sir.
- Good day. Sir.Copy !req
195. Why all this secrecy?
Why wouldn't he tell us?Copy !req
196. Darling, Dr. Van Helsing
is a very eminent man.Copy !req
197. Whatever his motives, you can be sure
he had a good reason for them.Copy !req
198. In any case, we can't help
poor Jonathan now.Copy !req
199. Lucy is the one we must think of.Copy !req
200. Is she well enough to be told?Copy !req
201. It will be a terrible blow for her.Copy !req
202. She must know sometime.Copy !req
203. We won't disturb her afternoon rest.
We'll see how she is this evening.Copy !req
204. Jonathan will be home soon, I know it.
Then I'll get better, you'll see.Copy !req
205. I won't be a trouble
to Dr. Seward or any of you.Copy !req
206. Lucy, you're no trouble to anyone.
Now rest, get some sleep.Copy !req
207. You've got to get some color back
into those cheeks.Copy !req
208. - Good night, Lucy.
- Good night, Mina.Copy !req
209. Good night, Arthur.Copy !req
210. - Sleep well.
- I'll try.Copy !req
211. Research on vampires.
Certain basic facts established.Copy !req
212. light.Copy !req
213. The vampire allergic to light.Copy !req
214. Never ventures forth in the daytime.Copy !req
215. Sunlight fatal. Repeat, fatal.Copy !req
216. Would destroy them.Copy !req
217. garlic.Copy !req
218. Vampires repelled by odor of garlic.Copy !req
219. Check final arrangements with Harker
before he leaves for Klausenburg.Copy !req
220. the crucifix.Copy !req
221. Symbolizing the power
of good over evil.Copy !req
222. The power of the crucifix
in these cases...Copy !req
223. Come in.Copy !req
224. - You rang, sir?
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
225. I want this letter delivered
first thing in the morning.Copy !req
226. Will you see to that?Copy !req
227. - Yes.
- Thank you.Copy !req
228. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
229. Anything the matter?Copy !req
230. What is it?Copy !req
231. Well, sir, to tell you the truth,
when I was outside...Copy !req
232. I thought I heard you...
talking to someone.Copy !req
233. But of course you did.
I was talking to myself.Copy !req
234. You won't forget
that letter, will you?Copy !req
235. No, sir.Copy !req
236. Yes.Copy !req
237. The power of the crucifix
in these cases is two-fold:Copy !req
238. It protects the normal
human being...Copy !req
239. but reveals
the vampire or victim...Copy !req
240. of this vile contagion
when in advanced stages.Copy !req
241. Established...Copy !req
242. that victims consciously detest
being dominated by vampirism...Copy !req
243. but are unable
to relinquish the practice...Copy !req
244. similar to addiction to drugs.Copy !req
245. Ultimately death results
from loss of blood.Copy !req
246. But, unlike normal death,
no peace manifests itself...Copy !req
247. for they enter into
the fearful state of the undead.Copy !req
248. Since the death of Jonathan Harker...Copy !req
249. Count Dracula...Copy !req
250. the propagator of this
unspeakable evil, has disappeared.Copy !req
251. He must be found and destroyed.Copy !req
252. She seems so much
weaker, Doctor.Copy !req
253. It's a puzzling case,
Mrs. Holmwood.Copy !req
254. The symptoms are those of anemia
and I'm treating her for this.Copy !req
255. It can be a slow process, of course.Copy !req
256. But I had hoped for more
encouraging signs by now.Copy !req
257. - Please, may I see Auntie Lucy?
- Not today, Tania.Copy !req
258. - Is she very ill?
- I'm afraid so.Copy !req
259. - Do you know what's wrong with her?
- Of course I do.Copy !req
260. Then why don't you make her better?Copy !req
261. Tania! Tania...Copy !req
262. how many times have I told you
not to go bothering Mrs. Holmwood?Copy !req
263. - I'm sorry, ma'am.
- That's all right, Gerda.Copy !req
264. A child's logic can be
most disconcerting.Copy !req
265. Yes.Copy !req
266. Would you like a second opinion,
Mrs. Holmwood?Copy !req
267. Thank you, Doctor.
I'll think about it.Copy !req
268. Well...Copy !req
269. carry on with the medicine
and diet I've prescribed...Copy !req
270. - ... and plenty of fresh air.
- Yes, Doctor, I will.Copy !req
271. - Good day to you.
- Good day.Copy !req
272. Come in.Copy !req
273. Mrs. Holmwood, how very good
of you to come.Copy !req
274. Please, will you sit down?Copy !req
275. Thank you.Copy !req
276. You mentioned in your letter
some things of Jonathan's.Copy !req
277. Yes, I have them ready. I would have
brought them myself, but...Copy !req
278. Oh, I do understand.
But you must appreciate...Copy !req
279. - ... Mr. Holmwood was very upset.
- Of course.Copy !req
280. I only wish I could
have been more helpful.Copy !req
281. How did miss Lucy take the news?Copy !req
282. We haven't told her yet.
She's ill, very ill.Copy !req
283. I'm sorry to hear that.
May I ask what's the matter with her?Copy !req
284. It was all so sudden.
It happened about 10 days ago.Copy !req
285. Our family doctor
says it's anemia.Copy !req
286. I'm very unhappy about it.Copy !req
287. Oh, I have nothing against Dr. Seward,
please don't think that, but...Copy !req
288. Well, he did say I could
have a second opinion.Copy !req
289. I'd like to see her at once.Copy !req
290. - I'd be so grateful.
- If you'll excuse me.Copy !req
291. Lucy, I've brought
someone to see you.Copy !req
292. Dr. Van Helsing.
He's a friend of Jonathan's.Copy !req
293. Miss Lucy.Copy !req
294. What lovely flowers.Copy !req
295. Jonathan's dead, isn't he?Copy !req
296. It's true, isn't it?Copy !req
297. - I'm sorry.
- Did Arthur tell you?Copy !req
298. Nobody told me. I just knew.Copy !req
299. - Is that why Dr. Helsing is here?
- Partly.Copy !req
300. Dr. Helsing is a specialist.
He's come to help you.Copy !req
301. Jonathan has told me
so many things about you.Copy !req
302. - Nice things, I hope.
- Very nice.Copy !req
303. Now, let's see.Copy !req
304. Now, don't you worry,
we'll soon have you well again.Copy !req
305. Good-bye, Doctor.Copy !req
306. I'm sorry you had a wasted journey,
about Jonathan, I mean.Copy !req
307. It wasn't wasted, I promise you.
Good day, miss Lucy.Copy !req
308. How could she have known
of Jonathan's death?Copy !req
309. A premonition.
It's not uncommon.Copy !req
310. She took it so calmly,
it worries me.Copy !req
311. I'm afraid there are more
urgent things to worry about.Copy !req
312. Those marks on her neck,
when did they first appear?Copy !req
313. Well, I noticed them first
shortly after she became ill.Copy !req
314. I asked her about them and she said
she thought she had been stung.Copy !req
315. Which is quite possible of course.Copy !req
316. Dr. Seward said she must have
plenty of fresh air.Copy !req
317. Windows are open all the time.Copy !req
318. Between the hours
of sunset and sunrise...Copy !req
319. all the windows in her room,
with the possible exception...Copy !req
320. of a small fanlight
for ventilation...Copy !req
321. - ... must be kept shut.
- Oh, but Dr. Seward said...Copy !req
322. Mrs. Holmwood, you called me in
for a second opinion.Copy !req
323. If I am to help your
sister-in-law, there are...Copy !req
324. certain things
you must do to help me...Copy !req
325. however unorthodox
they may appear.Copy !req
326. - Yes, I know, but...
- Madam...Copy !req
327. if you love miss Lucy,
be guided by me, I beg you.Copy !req
328. I'll do anything
to make her well again.Copy !req
329. You must get some garlic flowers,
as many as you can.Copy !req
330. Place them by her windows,
and her door by her bedside.Copy !req
331. They may be taken out during the day,
but under no circumstances...Copy !req
332. even if the patient implores you,
must they be removed at night.Copy !req
333. I cannot impress upon
you strongly enough how...Copy !req
334. important it is that
you obey my instructions.Copy !req
335. Do exactly as I say...Copy !req
336. and we may be able to save her.
If you don't, she will die.Copy !req
337. I'll be here in the morning.Copy !req
338. Heavens, child! What is it?Copy !req
339. Oh, Gerda, these flowers,
I can't stand them!Copy !req
340. They do smell strong,
but Mrs. Holmwood said that...Copy !req
341. I don't care what she said!
Please, take them away! Please!Copy !req
342. Well...Copy !req
343. Oh, please, Gerda, they stifle me!Copy !req
344. All right, miss,
I'll take them out.Copy !req
345. And the windows,
you'll open the windows?Copy !req
346. Yes, miss Lucy,
if that's what you want.Copy !req
347. I'll come back for the rest.Copy !req
348. There was nothing
I could do to save her.Copy !req
349. Don't give in.Copy !req
350. Mrs. Holmwood,
did you do as I told you?Copy !req
351. She did. And you have
seen the result.Copy !req
352. - But Arthur, we did...
- Please, sir. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
353. It was all my fault. She could not
breathe. She looked so ill.Copy !req
354. She begged me to open the windows
and throw away all the plants.Copy !req
355. Oh, I know you told me
not to, ma'am, but I...Copy !req
356. Gerda, what time was this?Copy !req
357. About midnight.Copy !req
358. - I heard a noise and I...
- All right, Gerda...Copy !req
359. - ... you may go now.
- Yes, sir, thank you, sir.Copy !req
360. Oh, I am so sorry, sir!Copy !req
361. Whatever happened,
all I know is that...Copy !req
362. you have brought us
nothing but grief.Copy !req
363. First Jonathan, and now Lucy.Copy !req
364. Whoever you are,
and whatever your motives,Copy !req
365. please go and leave us in peace.Copy !req
366. Mr. Holmwood...Copy !req
367. when I told you about Jonathan
I thought it best...Copy !req
368. for your peace of mind
to spare the details...Copy !req
369. of the dreadful circumstances
in which he died.Copy !req
370. But the tragic death of your sister
is so closely linked with Jonathan's...Copy !req
371. that I think you should
now know the truth.Copy !req
372. I can't expect you to believe me,
but you will, I know, believe Jonathan.Copy !req
373. Here are his last words. His diary.Copy !req
374. When you have read it,
you will understand.Copy !req
375. Oh, what is it, Gerda?Copy !req
376. It's a policeman, sir.
He's got Tania with him.Copy !req
377. Tania?Copy !req
378. - Show him in, Gerda.
- Very good, sir.Copy !req
379. Good evening, ma'am.
Good evening, sir.Copy !req
380. What is it, officer?Copy !req
381. I found this little girl here.
She was very distressed indeed.Copy !req
382. Tell them what you told me.Copy !req
383. I don't want to!Copy !req
384. Tania...Copy !req
385. there's no need to be frightened.Copy !req
386. Now, come on over here, sit with me,
and tell me all about it.Copy !req
387. Now, you don't want Mr. Holmwood
to think you're a crybaby, do you?Copy !req
388. You're a big girl now.Copy !req
389. Now, come on,
tell me what happened.Copy !req
390. Well, I was out by myself,
and she came up to me.Copy !req
391. And she said, "Hello, Tania,
shall we go for a little walk?"Copy !req
392. And I said yes.
And we went for a walk.Copy !req
393. And then someone came along,
and she ran away and left me...Copy !req
394. and I was lost!Copy !req
395. Now, who was she? Who did you see?Copy !req
396. Come on, tell me.Copy !req
397. Who was she?Copy !req
398. Aunt Lucy.Copy !req
399. I heard you call me, Aunt Lucy.Copy !req
400. Yes, dear.Copy !req
401. Come along.Copy !req
402. You're cold! Where are we going?Copy !req
403. For a little walk.
I know somewhere...Copy !req
404. nice and quiet
where we can play.Copy !req
405. Is it much further, Aunt Lucy?
I'm so tired.Copy !req
406. Nearly there, my darling.Copy !req
407. Lucy!Copy !req
408. Arthur, dear brother!Copy !req
409. Lucy!Copy !req
410. Dear Arthur, why didn't
you come sooner?Copy !req
411. Come, let me kiss you.Copy !req
412. Put this on.Copy !req
413. - Please, I want to go home!
- And so you shall.Copy !req
414. I'll just go to fetch Mr. Holmwood
and then we can all go home together.Copy !req
415. Not Aunt Lucy.Copy !req
416. No, not Aunt Lucy.
Now you sit here.Copy !req
417. Be a good girl.Copy !req
418. You look like a teddy bear now.
Will you wear this pretty thing?Copy !req
419. Isn't that lovely?Copy !req
420. Now, you promise
not to run away?Copy !req
421. - I promise.
- Good.Copy !req
422. If you watch over there,
you'll see the sun come up.Copy !req
423. Keep warm.Copy !req
424. You understand now?Copy !req
425. - But why Lucy?
- Because of Jonathan.Copy !req
426. You read my note in his diary about
the woman he found at Klausenburg.Copy !req
427. This is Dracula's revenge.Copy !req
428. - Lucy is to replace that woman.
- Oh, no!Copy !req
429. I've watched her tomb each night
since she was interred three days ago.Copy !req
430. Tonight she ventured out
for the first time.Copy !req
431. Holmwood...Copy !req
432. I know your one wish is that Lucy
should rest in peace. I promise...Copy !req
433. to fulfill that wish, but first...Copy !req
434. if I have your consent,
she can lead us to Dracula.Copy !req
435. How can you suggest such a thing?Copy !req
436. That she should be possessed
by this evil for another second?Copy !req
437. Now, what about Gerda's
child out there...Copy !req
438. and the others she will defile?Copy !req
439. Oh, no, I couldn't! I couldn't!Copy !req
440. Of course.Copy !req
441. Will you take that
child home and then...Copy !req
442. meet me back here
in about an hour's time?Copy !req
443. It's all right.Copy !req
444. It's nearly dawn,
she won't leave the coffin again.Copy !req
445. Is there no other way?Copy !req
446. But it's horrible!Copy !req
447. Please, try and understand.Copy !req
448. This is not Lucy, the sister
you loved. It's only a shell.Copy !req
449. Possessed and corrupted
by the evil of Dracula!Copy !req
450. To liberate her soul
and give it eternal peace...Copy !req
451. we must destroy
that shell for all time!Copy !req
452. Believe me, there is no other way.Copy !req
453. - Drink this.
- I'm all right now.Copy !req
454. - Drink it.
- Thanks.Copy !req
455. There's so much in Jonathan's diary
I don't understand.Copy !req
456. Can Dracula really be as old
as it says here?Copy !req
457. We believe it's possible.Copy !req
458. Vampires are known to have gone on
from century to century.Copy !req
459. Records show that Count Dracula
could be 500 or 600 years old.Copy !req
460. Another thing.Copy !req
461. I always understood that
if there were such things...Copy !req
462. they could change themselves
into bats or wolves.Copy !req
463. That's a common fallacy.Copy !req
464. The study of these creatures
has been my life's work.Copy !req
465. I carried out research with some
of the greatest authorities in Europe...Copy !req
466. and yet, we've only just
scratched the surface.Copy !req
467. You see, a great deal is known
about the vampire bat.Copy !req
468. But details of these
re-animated bodies of the dead...Copy !req
469. the "undead," as we call them...Copy !req
470. are so obscure, that many biologists
will not believe they exist.Copy !req
471. Of course, you are shocked
and bewildered.Copy !req
472. How can you expect to understand
in so short a time?Copy !req
473. But you've read and experienced
enough to know that...Copy !req
474. this unholy cult
must be wiped out.Copy !req
475. I hope perhaps
that you will help me.Copy !req
476. I'll do anything you say.Copy !req
477. Thank you.Copy !req
478. Of course, we do know
certain things.Copy !req
479. You witnessed one
a little while ago.Copy !req
480. And we also know
that during the day...Copy !req
481. the vampire must rest
in his native soil.Copy !req
482. When I went to Castle Dracula,
a hearse came tearing through the gates.Copy !req
483. In that hearse was a coffin.Copy !req
484. I believe it contained Dracula
and a bed of his own earth.Copy !req
485. To get here, that hearse would have
to come via the frontier at Ingstadt.Copy !req
486. They'll have a record there
of where it was going.Copy !req
487. We need that address.
Will you come with me to Ingstadt?Copy !req
488. How long will it take?
I must let Mina know.Copy !req
489. With any luck, we should be back
by tomorrow morning.Copy !req
490. Customs HouseCopy !req
491. I'm afraid that is quite
out of the question, sir.Copy !req
492. Against regulations.Copy !req
493. All we want to know is
where that coffin was going.Copy !req
494. I cannot give away information
without proper authority.Copy !req
495. This is a matter of great urgency,
I am a doctor.Copy !req
496. I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
497. There's a young lad
with a message for you.Copy !req
498. Personal, he said.
He wouldn't give it to me.Copy !req
499. All right, Gerda, I'll see him.Copy !req
500. - Yes?
- You're Mrs. Holmwood?Copy !req
501. - I am.
- Got a message for you.Copy !req
502. You're to go to
49 Frederickstrasse...Copy !req
503. right away, it says.
And you're not to tell anyone.Copy !req
504. Who says?Copy !req
505. Arthur Holmwood, he calls himself.
Said you'd know him.Copy !req
506. But that's impossible.
My husband has gone to Ingstadt.Copy !req
507. Not if he gave me this message, he hasn't.
And he gave me this message.Copy !req
508. Good night.Copy !req
509. You got to have permission...Copy !req
510. - ... from the ministry in writing.
- But I...Copy !req
511. I have my orders
and I must obey them.Copy !req
512. It is laid down in the government
regulations that under no circumstances...Copy !req
513. under no circumstances
may an unauthorized...Copy !req
514. person be permitted
to examine...Copy !req
515. Of course, in the case of an emergency,
we do sometimes make an exception to that.Copy !req
516. And seeing this gentleman
is a doctor...Copy !req
517. When did you say it was, sir?Copy !req
518. - December 1.
- December 1.Copy !req
519. Klausenburg to Karlstadt.
Let me see.Copy !req
520. Oh, here it is.
One hearse, one coffin.Copy !req
521. J. Marx, 49 Frederickstrasse, Karlstadt.Copy !req
522. Arthur?Copy !req
523. Arthur?Copy !req
524. Are you sure I can't get you
anything to eat, sir?Copy !req
525. No, thank you, Gerda,
we haven't time.Copy !req
526. But I would like a word
with Mrs. Holmwood before we go.Copy !req
527. Would you go up please
and see if she's awake yet?Copy !req
528. Yes, sir.Copy !req
529. Are you ready?Copy !req
530. - She's not there, sir.
- Not there?Copy !req
531. No, sir.Copy !req
532. Good morning.Copy !req
533. Mina, you gave me quite a fright.Copy !req
534. Where have you been
at this hour of the morning?Copy !req
535. It was such a lovely day, I got up early
and went for a walk in the garden.Copy !req
536. I didn't expect you back so soon.Copy !req
537. I'm afraid I have to go out again.Copy !req
538. - When will you be back?
- I can't say for sure.Copy !req
539. Mina, you look pale.
Are you all right?Copy !req
540. Arthur, darling, don't fuss.
I feel perfectly well.Copy !req
541. Good-bye, darling.Copy !req
542. Perhaps you'd better
let me lead the way...Copy !req
543. I know these steps,
they can be dangerous, yes.Copy !req
544. We don't want to have
an accident, do we? No, we don't.Copy !req
545. You know, an old man came here once
to see his dear departed...Copy !req
546. he fell down these stairs.
It was quite amusing, yes.Copy !req
547. He came to pay his last respects
and he remained to share them.Copy !req
548. Quite amusing.Copy !req
549. Where are we? Where are we?
Where are we?Copy !req
550. Oh, yeah, it's around
the back, somewhere.Copy !req
551. Well, it's been here so long it's bound
to be at the back, isn't it?Copy !req
552. Come on, this way, gentlemen.
You follow me.Copy !req
553. I know where it was. This way.Copy !req
554. Well, now this is...
This is extraordinary!Copy !req
555. It was there! I know it was,
'cause I saw it only yesterday!Copy !req
556. Well, I really don't understand
who could have moved it.Copy !req
557. The driver of the hearse might've lied
to the frontier official...Copy !req
558. about where he was going.Copy !req
559. Yes, but that fellow
at the morgue wasn't lying.Copy !req
560. He was really surprised
when he saw...Copy !req
561. the coffin wasn't there.
He must have had it sometime.Copy !req
562. I think he's still somewhere
here in Karlstadt.Copy !req
563. But where? This is a big town.Copy !req
564. Not many places
he could hide, don't forget.Copy !req
565. There is that, of course.Copy !req
566. What are you two being
so mysterious about over there?Copy !req
567. We'll be with you
in a moment, my darling.Copy !req
568. There is an old neglected graveyard
about 3 miles from here.Copy !req
569. Somewhere in this area.Copy !req
570. St. Joseph's.Copy !req
571. Just one moment.Copy !req
572. Mina, my dear, don't think
I'm being silly...Copy !req
573. but I'd feel much happier if during
my absence you would wear this for me.Copy !req
574. Please don't ask me why,
but just wear it for my sake.Copy !req
575. - Arthur, I...
- Please, Mina.Copy !req
576. You said Lucy would
lead us to Dracula.Copy !req
577. Why didn't I listen to you?
This would never have happened.Copy !req
578. You mustn't blame
yourself for that...Copy !req
579. but you must have the courage
to let Mina lead us now.Copy !req
580. We'll give her
every protection we can.Copy !req
581. Tonight we'll watch
the windows of her room.Copy !req
582. They face two sides
of the house, don't they?Copy !req
583. Yes.Copy !req
584. I know I ask a great deal of you,
but you mustn't weaken now.Copy !req
585. We have it within our power
to rid the world of this evil.Copy !req
586. And with God's help we'll succeed.Copy !req
587. Mina's safe now,
but we must keep watching...Copy !req
588. again tonight.
You better get some rest.Copy !req
589. Well, what about you?Copy !req
590. - I'll be all right in there, if I may.
- Right.Copy !req
591. - I'll get you a rug from our room.
- Thank you.Copy !req
592. Mina!Copy !req
593. Just sit still
like that for a minute.Copy !req
594. Thank you.Copy !req
595. - Will she be all right?
- I think so.Copy !req
596. Let me see your arm.Copy !req
597. Steady!Copy !req
598. Are you all right?Copy !req
599. Yes. Yes, it's very good.Copy !req
600. Now, you'll need plenty of fluid.
Tea, coffee, or better still, wine.Copy !req
601. Go down and have some now,
there's a good fellow.Copy !req
602. Don't worry, Gerda and I
will take care of her.Copy !req
603. Just bathe her forehead, will you, Gerda?
With some eau de cologne...Copy !req
604. - ... or something.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
605. - How is she now?
- She's reacted very well.Copy !req
606. Thank God!Copy !req
607. How did he get in?
We watched the house all night.Copy !req
608. Your theory must be wrong.
He can change into something else.Copy !req
609. He must be able to.
How else could he have got in?Copy !req
610. I wish I knew.Copy !req
611. - Madam is sleeping now, sir.
- She mustn't be left.Copy !req
612. I'll go up to her. I'd like to.Copy !req
613. You stay and rest, and have some wine.
I'm sure you need both.Copy !req
614. Gerda, will you fetch
another bottle?Copy !req
615. Sir, I don't like to.Copy !req
616. You know what
happened last time...Copy !req
617. when I disobeyed
Mrs. Holmwood's orders.Copy !req
618. What do you mean?Copy !req
619. Madam told me
the other day that I must...Copy !req
620. on no account,
go down to the cellar.Copy !req
621. Holmwood!Copy !req
622. Holmwood!Copy !req
623. Gerda, what happened?Copy !req
624. You said I must come back
to madam so I came up here!Copy !req
625. And he looked like the devil!Copy !req
626. And what happened?Copy !req
627. He came in here and he picked madam up
like she was a baby!Copy !req
628. Calm yourself now.
Calm yourself!Copy !req
629. There's only one place
he can make for now: his home!Copy !req
630. It's a coach driver.
He's been dead about half an hour.Copy !req
631. You think Dracula
killed that coachman?Copy !req
632. Of course he did,
without a coach...Copy !req
633. he'd never get home
before sunrise. He'd be dead.Copy !req
634. - But even if he does get home...
- He'd hide in the castle vaults for years.Copy !req
635. - We'd lose him there.
- And Mina?Copy !req
636. Halt! Halt!Copy !req
637. It's getting light.Copy !req
638. Look!Copy !req
