Hyah!
Sir, look!
- Hey, stop! - Who the hell are they?
And how did they get here?
What the hell are they doing?
Hyah!
They're trying to kill each other.
- He'll kill him! - Stand by to fire!
Fire!
Hyah!
Quick! More powder!
Come on.
What are you waiting for?
- Can't see a thing! - Come on. This way.
Is he dead?
- He's still alive. - Make a stretcher.
Aye, sir!
Who are you? What's your name?
I'm Doctor... Victor... Frankenstein.
Lie still. Your shoulder's out of joint.
Aah!
- Get him some whiskey. - What is this place?
My ship, in the sea of barents, frozen in all winter.
What were you doing?
You're 100 miles from land.
Lucky the ice didn't crack under you.
- Where are you from? - Archangel.
Archangel. That's 1,000 miles.
That man, the one with the wolves,
why was he trying to kill you?
Give him some food.
No. Wait. Do you have cannon on board?
20-pounders. Why?
Get them ready. He'll be back.
Ship's guns against a man?
He's not a man.
He could tear this ship to pieces with his hands.
Captain, please. Listen to me.
You're in terrible danger. He'll attack at dawn.
He'll send wolves first.
Then he'll kill everyone on board without a thought.
- How many guns do you have? - Mad, Skipper.
- Get the food. - Aye, sir.
Is your crew armed? They must be armed.
They must be ready.
What did you mean, he's not a man?
Captain, please listen to me before it's too late.
What did you mean, he's not a man?
Who is he? Well, come on. Speak.
Who is he?
The devil.
Hey!
Keep awake!
You're supposed to be on lookout.
- Sorry, Bosun. - Take food to the captain.
What's the matter, Bosun?
Afraid he'll something he shouldn't?
Do you have something to say, Zorkin?
Why didn't you tell us about the town?
There's nothing out there for 1,000 miles.
- You've seen the chart. - Where'd those sleds come from?
'Course there's a bloody town.
There's nothing between here and Archangel.
Now, get below.
Sir!
He's still there!
That man! He's lit a fire!
Get the food.
[ Animal Whimpers ]
[ Frankenstein ] For God's sake, Captain...
- your lives are in danger. - From what?
You listen to me. What is this about?
Who are you? And where have you come from?
I'm a scientist from Ingolstadt.
A scientist? What the hell are you doing out here?
Last year...
I made a discovery, and I wish with all my soul
that I had not.
- What kind of discovery? - Something so dangerous
that it could destroy every living thing on board this ship.
- Order! - [ Gavel Banging ]
Order!
Order, please!
Order! Order!
Members of the University, it now falls to me to reveal
the years's most closesly guarded secret.
Professor Kloiber's brilliant works of theology
have spread his fame across europe.
[ Applause ]
Dr. Abendroth's thesis
on the falsity of turning lead into gold
has brought the Art of Metallurgy
to the status of a true science.
And finally, Dr. Frankenstein's work on the human body.
Quiet, please!
Quiet!
Order!
The king's prize for the advancement of science
goes to the recigious work of Professor Kloiber,
whose piety and dedication throught his subject...
[ Crowd Grumbling ]
Oh, no!
Frankenstein! Frankenstein!
Order! Order!
Order, please!
Frankenstein! Frankenstein!
Order!
Frankenstein! Frankenstein!
- On your shoulders! - Order!
Frankenstein!
Stop this! Put me down!
- Frankenstein! - Put me-- put me down!
Order!
Frank-en-stein! Frank-en-stein!
- Frankenstein! - Put me down!
Frank-en-stein! Frank-en-stein!
Give the science prize to a bible bore!
- This is no university! - It's obscene!
- Yeah! - Will you listen to me?
Demonstrations like this do no good.
They will only use this
to discredit everything I have taught you.
- Then they're afraid of science! - Yes, and it is your job
to build a future for science,
to take what I've given you and to use it,
not to cause a riot. [ Coughing ]
Now-- now go back inside and take up your books.
[ Coughing ]
Hey, come away. It's cholera.
Keep giving her this solution.
Sister, try and get her into some fresh air.
The monsignor has forbidden it.
Then the monsignor should be hanged.
Do as I say.
How is she, Sister?
Sir.
- Victor? - Clerval, what are you doing here?
Your father wants me to bring you home.
- What? - He thinks your life's in danger.
So does Elizabeth.
Come outside. Come on.
Clerval, please make them understand.
I'm a doctor. Please are dying.
How can I leave?
There's no cure for this disease.
No. You're wrong.
Cholera can be cured with a saline solution.
One day I'll prove it.
These people aren't dying of disease.
They're dying of ignorance. I'll write when I can.
- How's Elizabeth? - She sent you this.
She might appreciate an answer.
You haven't answered her letters for months.
Look around you! There's so much to do here!
Sometimes I don't know if it's day or night!
What's wrong?
[ Muffled Cough ]
Clerval, remember those days when he spoke of ambition?
We swore to reach the heights--
me with my science and you with your art.
That was long ago, Victor.
Yes, but I haven't forgotten, and I'm on the threshold now,
- on the very brink. - What do you mean?
Come with me.
Mind the steps. I'll turn up the lamps.
- Is this all yours? - Mm-hmm.
Come and meet my friends.
- Good God! - He's perfectly harmless.
- You can hold him. - Where did you get it?
- [ Squealing ] - I-- I made it.
Have a look at this one.
Imagine a fox trying to catch this fellow.
[ Screeching ]
You made these things? How?
I'll show you.
- In here. - What is it?
What would you like it to me?
A cat, a mouse, a bird, a tiger?
I don't understand.
Every living creature is composed of elements, Clerval--
hydrogen, oxygen, iron, and many, many more.
Well, there they all are, all the elements of life.
- In this liquid? - They are the liquid.
It took me five years to get that right.
And these...
these are my electrophori.
They are the world's latest invention.
Magnificent, aren't they?
Do you know what a magnetic field is?
- Watch this. - What are you doing?
- Hand me that copper rod. - This one?
Mm-mm.
Now stand back.
- [ Buzzing ] - What's that noise?
Don't talk. I have to concentrate.
There! In the tank.
See!
What is it?
It's my hand, and it's alive.
See!
Ugh...
- Sorcery. - Science, my friend. Pure science.
- It's a trick. - A trick?
Well, if that confounds you, what would you say
if I could create a whole body?
What do you mean?
What if I could make a living man, Clerval?
Stronger than you or I, bigger, more intelligent,
perfect in every way, a new kind of man,
immune to all diseases, more powerful than any man of Earth.
Would that be a trick, too?
Or would it be this world's greatest gift?
What are you saying?
I've discovered the secret of life, Clerval.
Here, in this very room.
- And I control it. - Blashphemy!
Oh, my poor dear poet.
You still believe all that--
Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, good and evil!
Myths and legends, Clerval! And science is the future.
- Don't you see? - No, I don't see.
You aren't God, you can't create like God.
But you've just seen it. Look outside in the streets--
- the misery the sickness. - You are not God!
- I can cure... - Are you ill?
It'll pass. I'll see you tomorrow.
- I can't leave you. - Please, I'm all right.
You're a sick man.
I can't leave now! Just go!
Go!
Aah!
[ Coughs ]
[ Coughing ]
Help me!
You can't afford to get married at your age.
- I'm 17. - If I had my time over again...
What's wrong?
God Almighty.
Fetch the magistrate.
Get away. Get away from me.
Get away!
[ Whimpering ]
The priest said he'd never seen anyone in such a state.
- Where did they find him? - In the gutter.
In here, Monsieur.
Please understand me, Monsieur Clerval.
The doctor is a fine man, but I have other lodgers.
I can't have sickness in the house, not this sickness.
I want him out by lunchtime.
- Did you call a doctor? - He won't hear of it.
Beware, Monsieur.
There's death in this room.
- Huh? - I'll get a doctor.
No, Clerval. No doctor.
You're sick. You need help.
- They don't know how to treat it. - That's because they can't.
I want him out by lunchtime.
You hear me? Lunchtime.
- It's Cholera, isn't it? - Yes.
- Quick! - He's there!
You! What are you doing here?
Uhh...
Get him! Get him!
Bring him down!
Aah!
Tell me what this is in case I need more.
Oh, it's saline solution... 40%.
[ Coughs ]
- Will it cure you? - In time.
You need proper care. I need to get you home.
- Are you well enough ot travel? - Aah!
What is it? What's wrong?
Get out of the way!
Aah!
- Ahh... - [ Gasping ]
My carriage is at the inn.
I'll be gone five minutes. Will you be all right?
[ Yelling ]
Come on now!
Come on! Over there!
Come on!
Faster!
We've got him now!
Aah!
- Who the hell was he? - God knows, he's dead now.
How do we get down there?
We don't. Leave him to the vultures.
Ugh...
That was his first encounter with the human race...
like a child, no one to guide him...
no one to help...
and the guilt was mine, all mine.
If only I'd been able to prepare him,
I might have saved so many precious lives,
and this ship would not be in such terrible danger.
Why should I believe this?
Captain, look at me.
I've chased him over half this world.
I've lost everything except my life.
Do not doubt me.
he will destroy this ship and every member of your crew.
So why is he waiting?
For the dawn. We hate the darkness.
- We? - We are one, Captain...
he and I. I made him.
Like I made the hand. From me.
We are two parts of a single man.
Oh, I didn't understand that either at first.
When Clerval took me home to Switzerland,
I didn't know he'd survived. He was unformed you see.
Unfinished.
I thought he'd surely perish in the hills or in the forests...
But he was what I had made him--
a creature more powerful than any man of Earth.
- [ Coughing ] - Here.
Time for this again.
- How far now? - Only a few hours,
and then Elizabeth will take over.
Thank goodness for that.
It's always nice to be appreciated.
- When are you going to marry her? - Will she have me?
Not looking like this.
Hey!
Slow down! There's a sick man in here!
Sorry, Sir. Steady!
What is it, boy? Hey!
You! Get off my land.
Get him!
Go on, boy!
Mother of God.
Mary, come here! Mary!
[ Harpsichord Plays ]
Bravo, Elizabeth. Beautifully played!
I wish I could play like that.
Elizabeth, do stop worrying. Clerval won't let us down.
Justine, he's been gone five days.
He could have has trouble with the horses or something equally trivial.
Father, come quickly! Outside! Now!
- William, what's the matter? - You won't believe it.
- What? - Coming up the drive.
- Who? - Victor! He's home!
Victor! Victor!
Victor!
I'll ride in with you.
Master William, keep your distance!
Whoa!
Take my horse.
Victor-- oh, my love. You're ill.
Little brother, you've grown.
- Let me help you. - William, get some blankets.
Oh, hello, my dear Justine.
Sick thought I was,
that homecoming was the happiest of my life.
Through all those long and fevered weeks,
my cousin Elizabeth never left my side.
We had grown up together, she and I,
ever since she came to live with us after her parents died.
I'd loved her even as a child, and now I finally found my courage.
Victor, who nurses the sick at Ingolstadt?
The nuns. Why?
I'd like to help them, like I helped you. Would they let me?
It's not ladies' work. The risks are high.
- You take them. - I'm not a lady.
Victor, I'm serious.
It's what I'm trained for.
Then why can't I be trained, like the nuns?
Ah. I see I've won.
Winner takes all, I think.
- Loser makes a speech? - A speech?
Short one. Just... four words.
- Not don't mention it again. - No.
Will... you...
marry...
me?
Yes!
Yes.
[ Gasps ]
Aah!
Amy, swim! Swim, Amy, swim!
Where is she? She can't swim!
Help!
Amy!
Where are you taking her?
- Amy? - Amy, are you all right?
Amy!
Aaa...
mee...
aaa... mee...
- Victor, what happened? - I don't know.
- What was it? - I don't know. I...
I was just dizzy.
You're nice-cold. I'll get you a blanket.
It was as if a knife had entered my heart,
something so powerful that it froze my very soul.
[ Coughing ]
[ Moaning ]
No.
Please, please... no!
Help him.
Help him!
- Aah! - Somebody, please, help him!
- Help him! - Oh!
Help him! Help him!
Wh-who is it? Who's there?
Oh...
Who are you? What's happened?
Dying! He's dying!
Victor. Victor.
- He's dying! - Victor, wake up.
Victor, you're having a nightmare.
- Who's dying? - Go back to bed.
- He was shouting. - Go back to bed.
Sorry. I was dreaming.
About dying?
- William. - Yes, Father.
- Good night. - I'm sorry I woke you, Father.
- Victor, may I saw something? - Of course.
You have a brilliant mind... but you're too willing to risk your future.
- In what way? - By...
by exposing yourself to disease.
Why, you've made yourself sick, my son, in the service of others.
Your compassion is commendable...
but don't risk your life again.
You have no much to offer this world.
Well...
Good night.
Good night, Father.
[ Rooster Crowing ]
- Aah! - Now, listen. Listen.
There's a bullet in there, and I've got to get it out.
It's going to hurt bad, but I've got to do it, understand?
Uh-huh.
- Is it always painful? - What?
- Shaving? - No.
- Falling in love. - What gives you that idea?
Nothing. I think Clerval's in love with Justine,
- like you and Elizabeth. - Do you, now?
He wants me to take this not to her.
I think it's a love letter. Poor Cherval.
Expect he'll get nightmares soon, like you.
William, falling in love doesn't give you nightmares.
Now, have you thought any more about being my best man?
- Yes, I can't. - Why ever not?
I don't know how to make a speech.
Anyone less tongue-lied can hardly imagine--
Are you all right?
- Just take the note ot Justine. - Should I call Father?
No. Just go.
- It's happening again, isn't it? - William, please.
I hope I never fall in love. It must be awful.
The bullet's out. You'll mend now.
So what are you, huh? Convict on the run?
What's your name? You got no name?
Ah...
You mean my name? De Lacey.
Where do you come from?
Ah...
I'll get you some food.
[ Crying ]
Now, listen.
I don't know where you're from, and I don't know what you've done.
I'm blind... but I'm going to help you.
Understand?
[ Elizabeth ] Victor?
- Victor? - Coming.
Victor, what are you doing? We're all waiting.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
- What are you looking at? - You.
Whoo!
That was our golden time, both his and mine--
a summer full of laughter.
Elizabeth and I and pledged our love... and his world?
His world was filled with wonder.
All through those days, while we played in the sun,
my brother carried Clerval's love letters
to our neighbor Justine
and brought back her replies on scented paper.
And week by week, his strength returned,
step by step... with mine.
Touche! You cheated.
Nonsense. You were a mile off.
I hope it doesn't give you nightmares.
Nightmares? William, what a thing I say.
Come on!
Before the autumn turned the leaves,
he was almost everything I'd planned.
You sew these together.
Like this. See? Huh?
Then you have a warm coat for the winter.
Win... ter.
Yeah. Winter.
Yeah. Yeah. When-- When it's cold.
When the snow comes. Here. Try it on.
Aah! Blast it!
There's a cloth in the house by the fire.
Cloth. Do you understand?
- Cloth? - I...
under... stand.
Good.
One word, I'll cut your throat.
Who is he, De Lacey? Escaped prisoner?
- What's he worth? - I don't know what you mean.
What's his bounty, you little runt?
100, 500? How much?
- We mean to collect, see? - Aah!
Stand still! Stand still! Don't move!
Get the rope, Jack! Quick!
Get the rope around his legs, Jack.
We're going to be rich! Aah!
- Run! - Aah...
Don't kill me! He made me do it!
Leave... Lacey...
alone!
Go!
Stay away from me. Stay away from me!
I've got a knife! I've got a knife!
- Lacey. - Oh! Oh!
Thank God. I heard the gun.
I thought they'd killed you.
Where are they? Are they gone?
Yes... gone.
- Are you sure? - Yes, Lacey.
- Sure. - I know who they are.
I heard their voices. They're hunters from the valley.
What's this? Oh.
We'll have to be careful now. You know that, don't you?
- They might be back. - Perhaps we knew it even then.
His peaceful world was almost gone, as mine was soon to be.
- Well played, Elizabeth! - Clerval, do you have to leave?
Tomorrow. My publisher won't wait.
- You'll be at the wedding? - Of course.
- He's best man. - Not anymore.
I finally persuaded this rascal to do his duty.
William, you said yes!
If I don't have to make a speech.
I said you didn't have to write one.
- Who'll write it? - You're the poet.
Oh, I see. It's a conspiracy.
This calls for a celebration. Come inside, all of you.
I've got some champagne. Excellent year, too.
This has been the perfect summer, hasn't it?
Mm-hmm. But it's over now. Look at those clouds.
[ Thunder ]
Are you there? Where are you?
Are you there? Where--
- Where are you? - Here, Lacey.
You've got to go.
Now. There's no time to lose.
- Now? - They're coming to get you.
Those men-- I heard them talking in the village.
They're getting their gang together.
They're going to kill you!
This way, I'll take you through the woods.
Come on. Don't you understand?
They're coming to kill you!
Rrr!
When you reach the road, just keep going.
That will take you over the mountain where you come from.
You'll be miles away by morning. And stay away from towns.
- You can't trust people. - Lacey...
- road. - Show me.
That way.
I can't go no further. I'd never be able to find my way back.
- Understand? - I understand.
So, uh... that's goodbye, then.
Listen.
I don't know what you've done, and I don't care.
But if you ever need me again...
Well... go on.
And don't look back. That's-- that's bad luck.
That's what my dad used to tell me.
Uh... wait.
Wait. Uh...
you take, uh... take this.
I've had this for years. Buy some bread.
- Buy some bread with it. - Oh.
No, Lacey. No.
But you'll need to eat. It's a long way from home, isn't it?
- Home? - Yeah.
Where you live. In your own country.
No home, Lacey.
No home.
God bless you.
He might have found a place of safety somewhere in those endless hills,
but fate was stronger even than him, and it drew him to me,
just as surely as the river finds the sea.
We can have a pagoda here with lanterns and the band there
and tables spread out here with a lot of food.
- You know what I've been thinking? - Hmm?
- If we waited another whole year... - Yes?
We could have a double wedding.
You think he's reciting a poem to her?
A whole epic.
[ Bell Tolls ]
Heavens. Is that the time?
He'll miss his coach.
- Clerval, isn't it time for you to go? - I'm afriad so.
He's coming back next month, Elizabeth.
Isn't that wonderful?
It is for me. It's my wedding.
Victor, Clerval's leaving. Victor.
Victor, Clerval's leaving.
[ Clerval ] It's the last one today.
Waiting till the last minute. I wonder why.
- Don't tease him, Victor. - He teases me.
You deserve it.
Ah, but do you deserve the attentions of this lady?
Victor, it's none of our business.
You could be throwing your affections away.
- You don't know that, do you? - No, but...
Ha ha!
Come on, Justine. We'll get our coats.
- Well? - What?
You've asked her to marry you, but in the poem?
Do you think William would give it to her?
You poets are so full of... courage?
[ Thunder ]
[ Scraping Sound ]
[ Scraping Continuing ]
Hmm.
[ Scraping ]
Hello?
Is anybody there?
Uh!
Oh! Oh!
I saw you at the big house...
- in the garden. - Aah!
Oh!
- For you. - Aah!
No.
Aah! Aah!
- Oh! - No! Go away!
No!
- Who are you? - No!
[ Whinnying ]
No!
No! Aargh!
- No! - William!
William! Oh, my God!
No! No!
Uh! Oh... William!
[ Crying ]
Aah!
That dawn, even the birds fell silent.
Our world had become a land of shadows,
haunted by the Death of Death.
It's loaded, sir. Shame to shoot him.
Got to he's dangerous.
[ Horse Whinnies ]
[ Praying In Latin ]
- [ Gunshot ] - [ Praying In Latin ]
Amen.
- What happened? - She killed the boy.
- Last night? - She's paid for it now.
- Hup! - Walk on.
Why? Why?
Oh, God. [ Sobbing ]
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Here... drink this.
- Why did he kill William? - Darling, do stop saying that.
Nobody killed William. It was the horse.
- The horse threw him. - It was him.
- Who, darling? Who? - Oh, God.
- It was the devil. - [ Door Opens ]
What is that in her hand?
Justine... give that to me.
Give it to me.
- Father, what are you doing? - This is William's cross.
I gave it to him.
Why did you take it? To take any his protection?
- The protection of God? - Father, please. She's not well.
Justine, who broke the cross of Christ?
The devil! It was the devil!
- The devil! - She doesn't know what she's saying.
She's upset. Justine, stop this!
- Mary, Mother of God... - I'll take care of her.
- Father, I promise. - This woman is... is...
- possessed! - Aah!
[ Praying In Latin ]
- Amen. - Amen.
- Uh-huh. Yes.
- Ohh... - Come.
Come, my dear.
- Why didn't you tell us? - I didn't know.
But if this... thing.
Is all you say it is, it was bound to survive.
I know that now. God, I know.
But why the silence?
All these months... Victor, your brother is dead.
I'm in shame and torment for it. It's as if I killed him.
What do you mean?
I made him from me, from my body, my brain,
but he was meant to be perfect, without my flaws.
He was meant to be strong and wise, too strong for disease--
Oh, God...
Oh, Victor. What have you done?
Look after Justine, and always remember that I love you.
Both of you.
Where are you going?
Well, I made him. I must destroy him.
Wait! Victor, he'll kill you, too.
Victor! Come back!
He'll kill you, too! Victor!
I searched the hills for these whole days.
Then I sensed him... like a shadow in my mind.
I'd never seen this place before,
but every blade of grass was suddenly familiar.
He had seen it.
He was somewhere in this valley.
May I water my horse?
Only if you're drinking.
Come on, boy.
Ale.
You're well-armed.
- What are you-- a hunter? - I'm looking for someone...
a big man, living wild.
Ever hear of someone like that?
Five francs.
Any of you gentlemen seen a stranger?
Big man, living rough?
- Uh! - Ha ha!
- Leave me alone. - I'm trying to help.
I don't need help.
Is that your sport-- baiting blind men?
The moment that blind man touched my face, I knew.
- Five francs. - [ Coin Clinks ]
He needed to know who I was,
and he'd heard who I was looking for.
I was close now... very close.
Blind man! Open the door!
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Where is he?
- What do you want? - Where is he?
There's nobody here. You can see for yourself.
- Where? - I don't know. He said he was going.
That's all I know. I swear it!
He said?
Don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me.
He spoke? He can talk?
Look, I know nothing. Leave me alone.
Can he talk?
Yeah, yeah. He's a foreigner, but he-- he learns quick.
Then he can reason... already.
I don't know when he's done. I know nothing about it.
I swear.
What do you want him for, huh?
What has he done?
He killed my brother.
Come on! Go on!
- [ Whinnying ] - Oh!
Oh!
Grr.
Uh!
Grr.
Help me.
Uhh...
Help me. Please.
Please.
Please. Help me.
Uh!
Help, please! Please help me.
Grr!
You come to kill. Now you will give.
You come to kill me! Now you will give!
Give what?
You made me... and you give me nothing.
You made me... and you teach me nothing.
Why did you make me like this?
Men come for me with horses, hunt me with guns!
Where is my place? I have no place!
You have everything.
I see you... in your houses...
in your gardens.
You have everything, and I have nothing.
You made me like this!
- Now you will give! - What do you want?
What do you want?
- A woman. - What?
A woman! Like you have a woman.
You... you... will give me a woman!
- No, I can't. - You can!
You can make a woman, like you made me.
Tall and strong, like me.
To love me... as I am.
As your woman loves you.
And I will go... away from this place,
away from your hoses and your guns,
away from all of you. You will see me no more.
But first...
you will give me a woman.
- And what if I refuse? - Eh...
then... you will see me on your wedding night.
On your wedding night.
Grr.
Oh, Justine, please take it.
It's laudanum. It'll make you sleep.
Oh, darling, it wasn't the devil.
It was! I saw him.
He killed William, and he'll come back for me.
- I saw him. - Yes, but it wasn't the devil.
I've explained it. Try--
- [ Loud Knocking ] - Uh!
[ Knocking ]
- [ Knocking ] - I'll come back.
[ Knocking ]
- What is it? - Shh! Put that light out.
- [ Knocking ] - Who's there?
[ Victor ] Father, it's me! Open the door!
Oh, Victor. Thank heavens you're safe.
- What's happened to you? - I need your horse.
My horse? Why?
Victor, in heaven's name, why?
- To get rid of him. - A wife?
If I hadn't promised, God knows how many lives he'd destroy.
- Why would he go away? - That's what I'd do.
You?
Elizabeth, if the only way I could be with you
was to live it the ends of the Earth, that's exactly what I'd do.
So he will do the same.
Now do you understand?
He's you, isn't he?
Yes.
- Who will you use? - I'll find someone.
- Is it dangerous? - It's painful, but it won't kill if--
Oh, no. I won't do it, Elizabeth.
- I won't do it! - Who else will you get?
I don't know. I'll find someone.
- Some unsuspecting maid? - Not you!
You're not thinking! Who will agree to it?
- You're my whole life. - He creature you make will be his.
The perfect match. Isn't that what he wants?
The perfect match.
I'll pack my clothes.
That journey back to Ingolstadt was the longest of my life.
What had I embarked upon?
The compounding of a blasphemy? The doubling of a sin?
I think I knew it even then. I knew that I was damned.
[ Clock Strikes The Hour ]
We're here.
Thanks. No need to wait.
Careful.
Wait here. I'll find a lamp.
Careful. There's glass.
So much! I had no idea.
Will she be like me?
Or like him?
It will be dawn soon. A fresh new day.
Let's finish the work... of the old one.
- Will I be ill? - A little.
Just know that I love you.
Hmm!
Uh...
Uh!
Uh! Uh!
Aah! Aah!
- Elizabeth! - Aah!
- Oh! Oh! - It's all right.
Oh, you're safe now. You're safe.
- Oh. - Lie still. Lie still.
- I'll get you something. - Uh! Uh!
May God... forgive me.
Here. Breathe in.
Breathe in deeply.
- It will clear your head. - [ Coughing ]
Oh, my darling!
It's all right. It's all right, darling.
It's over, darling. It's over.
You were in too much pain. It's over.
- What happened? - You were in too much pain, darling.
I had to stop it. I had to destroy it.
Vic-- Victor.
No!
No...
Aah!
Aah! Aah.
Stay. Stay.
Come away. Come away.
Come away.
The link was finally broken. I was free...
free at last.
On the journey home, Elizabeth slept the sleep of the just,
but I was haunted by voices--
William's laughter and the cries of poor Justine.
[ Horses Approaching ]
Whoa!
- Father. - Victor.
Victor.
Victor, Clerval's here. Justine's dead.
She took her own life this morning.
Oh, my God.
Forgive him? How can I forgive him?
You've destroyed two lives, Victor!
Two innocent young lives because of your bloody science!
I can't forgive you! Only God can!
- Clerval, stop, please! - No. He's right, ELizabeth.
If I could put the clock back, I'd give my own life.
And if you could put back the clock, what would you find there?
The shriveled remnant of your soul. Or is that lost forever?
- Enough! - No! It's not have enough!
I pity you with all my heart. That thing you made
while laughing in the face of God isn't the killer.
The killer is you!
You!
[ Waltz Playing ]
That same month, Elizabeth and I were wed.
With our fears behind us and our future bright,
we faced a whole new life.
What? Live on my own? Certainly not.
The moment they've left, I'm closing the house
- and touring the orient. - Ha ha!
Excuse me.
- Clerval. Clerval, you came. - To apologize.
Oh, what a wonderful day this has been.
Come with me.
- Oh, Victor, look! - Clerval's here!
Hello, Victor. Elizabeth.
Couldn't let you eat all this food by yourself.
I'm sorry, Victor. I'm truly sorry.
Good God, man. What for?
Come and have a drink.
Drink? I haven't danced with the bride yet.
Well, Victor. Now your great day's complete.
Let's go have a drink.
- Is that the last one? - I hope so.
She's got enough dresses to last a year.
- You're not complaining already? - Already? I've been married 12 hours.
You'll love Venice.
It's the most romantic city in the world, although it has its drawbacks.
I went swimming every day until somebody told me--
- Get inside. - What?
- Get inside. - Victor, what are you talking--
Coachman, you know the village Barracks?
The Military Barracks?
I want a detachment of men with muskets.
- Muskets? - Don't arcus, man.
- Go! - Hyah!
Go!
- Victor, have you gone mad? - Quiet.
Victor, what is wrong with you?
- He's here. - What?
He's not dead. He's here.
Get Elizabeth and Father and bring them down here now!
Run, Clerval! Run!
Where is Elizabeth?
Upstairs. Changing for the journey.
Elizabeth! Elizabeth!
- [ Elizabeth ] Aah! - God! It's in the house!
No!
Father! Oh, my God!
- Victor! - Elizabeth!
- Aah! - Elizabeth!
Elizabeth!
- Oh, my God! - Aah!
- Elizabeth! - Aah!
No! Leave her! Leave her!
Victor!
Leave her alone! I'll kill you!
Elizabeth! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Aah!
You! You!
You!
Where are you?
Can you hear me?
I swear... by the God who made me...
I will destroy you!
I will follow you to the ends of the Earth!
And I'll not rest until you're dead!
You hear me? Dead!
Dead! Dead!
Dead!
[ Sobbing ]
Dr. Frankenstein? Sir?
What is it? What's wrong?
Close those windows, and cover up the others.
I want the Magistrate here-- now.
Take my horse.
The Magistrate will formally charge you with three murders.
Have you anything to say?
I told you before-- I didn't do it.
Oh, for Heaven's sake, man. Who's going to believe that?
- Blood's still on your hands. - Ugh!
Corporal! Corporal!
Shoot! Shoot that man!
Ugh!
Oh...
In a single day, my world had gone, vanished into memory.
- It was his world now... - Aah!
and where he went, I was sworn to follow,
two parts of a single man, locked...
in hate... and loathing.
I'll kill you!
That was half a world ago, but now he has no place to hide.
Help me rid the world of this evil.
You say he'll attack the ship at dawn.
- You're sure? - He has no choice.
Even he can't survive another night on the ice,
so he's mine, at last.
- Busun? - Sir.
Get Zorkin and his watch. Now.
Aye, Sir.
- [ Bosun ] Zorkin! - Captain, will you do something for me?
- Will you keep this somewhere? - What is it?
My diary. Will you keep it for me?
- Your diary? - My story. Everything I've told you.
I want you to keep it safe.
- Will you do that? - On the quarter-deck, Skipper.
Stay with our guest.
- Where is he going? - That's his business, isn't it?
- All armed? - [ All ] Aye, Sir.
You see his fire. Come at him from behind.
Get round the back of him.
50 francs, Zorkin, when you bring me his head.
- Understand? - Jack and I fought Napoleon, Captain.
He won't see the sun rise.
[ All ] Ha ha!
It's a wonder he hasn't frozen to death already.
We'll freeze him.
- How long till dawn? - Hour at the mist, eh, Bosun?
Aye, Sir.
Captain, I've got to tell the men what to expect.
These men-- they know what to expect.
- Hmm. - More rum, Sir?
It's the difference between life and death.
All right, what ever your name is, you've had your say.
Now, listen. No one harms this ship, understand?
So thank your stars for a man called Zorkin.
- Zorkin! - Ha ha!
Zorkin!
What have you done?
Captain, what have you done?
Zorkin, who are we killing this time?
[ Zorkin ] A man worth 50 francs.
Did you hear that, boys? I'd kill the King of Spain for 50 francs!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, this is madness! He'll kill them all!
Calm down. You want him dead, don't you?
- Well, Zorkin kills a man in every port. - That's why he's with us.
He can't set foot on land.
Cap'n, dawn's coming up.
- You said an hour. - I said an hour at the most.
Now, let's go see them in.
- Any sign of them? - No, Sir.
They'll freeze dead if they don't turn back soon.
Skipper, on the starboard quarter.
- What do you see? - Black dots on the ice.
It's them. They're coming back.
And 50 francs richer.
Mother of God!
- What is it? - Bosun, get down here.
Aye, Sir.
- Is it them? - It's them, all right.
Get cannons to port and starboard.
Keep a man aloft with his eyes skinned.
- For what? - The thing that did that.
Hey!
What is it? What hit us?
Nothing. It's the ice-- it's moving!
Ya-ha, lads! Unlash that wheel!
Mister, it couldn't have come at better time.
Unlash that wheel.
When this stuff moves, it moves.
- Will the ship come free? - Within minutes.
When the ice goes, the current will pull us
out into the open sea.
We're all saved. Now, get my sextant.
- Where? - Cabin.
Come on, lads!
Stand by on the rigging!
Ugh!
Now... now you'll pay!
Here... in this place.
What are you going to do? Kill me?
Why here? Why kill me here?
You had your chance a hundred times before this.
Why lead me here?
Why?
To make you feel... pain...
like me. Fear...
and pain... like me!
Make me feel your pain?
You did all this to make me feel your pain?
There was no need.
I felt it from the start.
Your pain... is mine.
Is my pain not yours?
Perhaps... you haven't understood.
When you kill me... you will die.
We're one.
Don't you know it? Can you feel it?
We...
are...
one.
But...
I cannot live... in your world.
Nor I in yours.
Please...
help me! Please help me!
Please...
- help me. - I will.
I will help us both.
I will.
I will help us both.
Aah!
Man overboard!
Captain! Captain!
- Lower the boat, Spencer! - Too late.
- Sir? - I said, "too late."
They'll be dead when our boat hits the water.
Stand by to lower the boat!
Wind's on the starboard beam, Skipper.
Steer west-sou'west.
Stand by to lower the mainsail!
Come on, boys! Look lively!
- We're going home! - Hurray!
"Ship's log-- 14th of March, 1820.
"With a fair wind, we should make landfall within a week.
"I am submitting this small book along with the ship's papers.
"It is the diary of Professor Victor Frankenstein,
"and the tale it tells will haunt me for the rest of my days."
