Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to meet with Count Dracula to discuss property deals. At Dracula's castle, Harker realizes he is trapped there. Dracula expresses interest in properties near Harker's fiancee and her friend Lucy. Dracula forces Harker to write letters saying he will extend his trip. Dracula then leaves for England while Harker is left behind.

1. LATE EVENING
An Inn in Bistritz
Enter Jonathan Harker Dracul
HARKER: My name is Harker. Jonathan Harker. I believe you playsc
have a room for me?
INNKEEPER'S WIFE: Harker?
HARKER: Yes, Jonathan Harker.
INNKEEPER'S WIFE: Da. Jakov! Jakov!
JAKOV: Da?
INNKEEPER'S WIFE: (speaks in Hungarian)
JAKOV: (hands Harker a letter)
HARKER: This letter is for me?
JAKOV: Da, da, da, you.
Harker opens letter
"My friend. Welcome to the Carpathians. Sleep well
tonight. At ten tomorrow morning, the diligence will start for
Bukovina. A place on it has been kept for you. At the Borgo
Pass, my caleche will await you and will bring you to me. I

2. trust that your journey from England has been a happy one and
that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land. Your
friend, Dracula.
THE NEXT MORNING
Harker boards the diligence to Bukovina
THAT EVENING
Borgo Pass
The diligence stops
The driver speaks to Harker in Hungarian
HARKER: I'm sorry, I do not understand you.
PASSENGER: You are stopping here?
HARKER: Oh, yes. What did he say?
PASSENGER: He said you must either wait here by yourself or
continue on with us to Bukovina.
HARKER: I cannot do that. I'm being met here to be taken to my
destination.
PASSENGER: May I ask you, sir, what is your destination?
HARKER: Castle Dracula.

3. A carriage approaches
Harker dismounts and the diligence quickly departs
HARKER: Are you to take me to Castle Dracula? Are you to take
me to Castle Dracula?
Harker mounts the carriage, lays back and sleeps
LATER
Harker is jostled awake by the hurrying carriage
HARKER: Driver, slow down!
Harker peers out the window to see wolves following
AFTER MIDNIGHT
Castle Dracula
Harker dismounts from the carriage
HARKER: Driver?
A door to the castle opens
HARKER: Oh, good evening. I'm Jonathan Harker. I'm sorry if
I've kept you waiting.
Enter Dracula
DRACULA: Welcome to my house. Enter freely and of your own

4. will. I am Dracula. I bid you welcome, Mr. Harker.
HARKER: Thank you. For a moment, I thought perhaps that nobody
was...
Dracula leads Harker into the parlour
HARKER: Mr. Hawkins bad me give you this on my arrival.
DRACULA: Thank you, Mr. Harker. I pray you will be seated and
eat. Excuse me that I do not join you but I have dined already.
Your employer speaks well of you.
HARKER: He is very kind.
DRACULA: So, what properties do you have that would interest me?
HARKER: Actually, quite a few. I have some photographs in my
luggage.
DRACULA: I must see them.
HARKER: As soon as I've unpacked, I'll...
DRACULA: Now.
HARKER: Yes, of course.

5. Harker fetches photos
DRACULA: Excellent. These are quite suitable.
Dracula notes a personal photo in Harker's luggage.
DRACULA: Who is this young lady?
HARKER: The one on the right is my fiance, Miss...
DRACULA: No, Mr. Harker. This one.
HARKER: Oh, Miss Lucy Westenra. She's my fiancee's dearest
friend.
DRACULA: And the young man.
HARKER: Mr. Arthur Holmwood. They also are engaged. As a
matter of fact, Miss Westenra lives quite near Carfax, one of
the properties I want you to consider. Sir? Sir?
DRACULA: Your fiancee is lovely. You are very fortunate.
HARKER: Thank you.
DRACULA: I would like to know more about this Carfax.
HARKER: To be honest, Count, Carfax is not the best of the lot.
You could do much better. The house is old and dilapidated and

6. much in need of repair.
DRACULA: On the contrary, my young friend, I am glad it is old.
I myself am of an old family, and to live in a new house would
distress me.
HARKER: Interestingly enough, Carfax was the only house on the
list we submitted to you that I personally suggested to Mr.
Hawkins.
DRACULA: How fortuitous for me. Then it is settled. Carfax
will be my new home.
TOWARD MORNING
Dracula refills Karker's wineglass
DRACULA: ...and the Magyar, the Lombard, the Turk, brought his
thousands across our frontier. We always drove them back. No
matter how many times we were beaten and forced to retreat, we
would always regroup our forces and attack again. When the
and his legions swept across our Hungarian fatherland...
A clock strikes 5 AM
DRACULA: Ah, it is morning again. How remiss of me to keep you
up so long, though it has been a pleasurable and most
informative night. Do write to your Mr. Hawkins and say that
you will stay with me for a month.

7. HARKER: A month? Count...
Exit Dracula, locking the door behind him
HARKER: Count Dracula? Count Dracula? A month?
SEVERAL EVENINGS LATER
Harker's Bedchamber
Harker awakens
HARKER: Oh, Cor, I've slept through the whole day. Oh, this
schedule is ridiculous.
LATER
Harker shaves
Enter Dracula
DRACULA: I trust you slept well, Mr. Harker.
Harker is surprised and cuts his neck with the razor
HARKER: Oh, Count. Overslept is more the word, I fear. These
all night conversations are a bit...what is it?
DRACULA: You will write those letters for me...now!
Exit Dracula, locking door behind him

8. HARKER: One moment, sir. Count Dracula! Count Dracula!
Harker searches the room for exit
He finds a hidden door which leads into a library
Poking around, Harker opens a scrapbook to find
the photo of Lucy and Mina noted earlier by Dracula
Harker then sees a portrait of Vlad Tepes
and a woman who greatly resembles Lucy
Enter three women
HARKER: I never heard you come in. Who are you?
The women rush Harker
Enter Dracula
DRACULA: How dare you touch him until I finish with him!
Dracula returns Harker to his room
DRACULA: Now, you will write that letter to your Mr. Hawkins.
Also to your fiancee.
HARKER: No, I will not.
DRACULA: You will tell them that you plan to spend some time in
Europe before coming home. Also that you hope to make various
contacts on the continent so that you may soon inaugurate your
own business.

9. Harker writes the letters
Dracula daydreams of the woman who resembles Lucy in the
portrait
HARKER: Now what?
DRACULA: Now what, Mr. Harker? Now, I go to England, and
you...!
Dracula throws Harker across the room
Harker passes out
THE NEXT DAY
Harker awakens, runs to window and sees a wagon
loaded with crates
HARKER: Hello, down there! Can you hear me? Hello!
Harker climbs out the window and crawls to another window

He attempts to cut off Dracula's head with a shovel
but misses
Gypsy workers attack Harker and knock him out
SUNDOWN

FIVE WEEKS LATER
The beach at Whitby
Dracula stands on beach looking at a wrecked schooner
THREE WEEKS LATER
Whitby Train Station
A train arrives
CONDUCTOR: Whitby Station!
Mina dismounts and is greeted by Mrs. Westenra
MRS. WESTENRA: Mina, my dear. So pleased to see you again.
Lucy will be delighted you're here. How was your journey?
MINA: It was very good. How lovely to see you again.
MRS. WESTENRA: Any kind of word from Jonathan?
MINA: I'm afraid not.

11. MRS. WESTENRA: He did write he planned to spend some time on
the continent before returning. I'm sure you'll hear from him
quite soon.
MOMENTS LATER
Mina and Mrs. Westenra leave the station
MINA: Is it some specific illness?
MRS. WESTENRA: Well, no, that's the problem. The doctor
doesn't seem to know what's the matter with her.
MINA: There must be something.
MRS. WESTENRA: There is, but he doesn't seem to think it's
important.
MINA: What is it?
MRS. WESTENRA: Lucy has been walking in her sleep.
MINA: What do you plan to do about it?
MRS. WESTENRA: I've discussed it with Arthur, and we're
bringing in another doctor...Dr. Van Helsing...a dear friend of
Arthur's family.
MINA: Good.

12. MRS. WESTENRA: As a matter of fact, they should be there when
we arrive. My dear, have you heard about our local penny
dreadful mystery?
MINA: No. What happened?
MRS. WESTENRA: Well, a Russian vessel called the Demeter
beached itself here several weeks ago with only one man on
board, a dead seaman who had apparently lashed himself to the
wheel. No one yet has any notion what occurred. It couldn't
have been piracy because the vessel was entirely in ballast with
the exception of a few wooden boxes partially filled with earth.
Mina and Mrs. Westenra arrive at Hillingham
They are greeted by the maid and manservant Burgess
MRS. WESTENRA: You remember Miss Mina.
LATER
Lucy's Bedroom at Hillingham
Van Helsing examines Lucy
Arthur, Mina and Mrs. Westenra look on
HELSING: Yes, I see. You'll be fine, my dear. You'll be fine.
Now, I think we shall let the young lady get some rest.
A SHORT WHILE LATER

13. The Parlour
Van Helsing stands in thought
Enter Arthur
ARTHUR: Well, sir, what do you think?
HELSING: This wound on her throat, how long has she had it?
ARTHUR: About three weeks, I believe. I've had her blood
checked at Whitby Hospital. There's no sign of venom.
HELSING: It isn't a matter of venom, Arthur.
ARTHUR: What then?
HELSING: I'd rather not discuss it until I'm certain. I should
like to remain here for several days. I presume I can be put up.
ARTHUR: Well, sure you can, but can't you at least tell me
something?
HELSING: This much. If the cause of your fiancee's affliction
is what I think it is, then beside it the most venomous serpent
in the world would seem a plaything for children.
THAT EVENING
Lucy's Bedroom
Arthur sits with Lucy

14. LUCY: Oh, I'm so frightened. I've never walked in my sleep
before. And I feel so weak, and I keep having these terrible
nightmares of something dark all around, something sweet and yet
so bitter. It's draining me, Arthur. I don't know what to do.
I just don't know what to do.
MEANWHILE
Carfax Estate
Dracula awakens
THAT NIGHT
Lucy's Bedroom
Arthur stands over Lucy while she sleeps fitfully
HELSING: Staring at her isn't going to help her sleep.
ARTHUR: It's that damn wreath of garlic flowers. Can't we take
them off her?
HELSING: No, Arthur. And please stop asking. I realize that
it must seem absurd to you but you must take my word it is
necessary.
ARTHUR: I'm sorry. I know you're doing what you think is
right. I just wish you'd tell me why.
HELSING: Soon enough. For now, it is enough to know that we
must not let her sleepwalk again.

15. LATER
The Garden
Dracula stands outside Lucy's window
Lucy's Bedroom
Van Helsing wakes Arthur
HELSING: Arthur.
ARTHUR: What?
HELSING: It's all right. Nothing's wrong. Would you take over
for a time? It won't be long before dawn. I'm afraid I might
fall asleep.
ARTHUR: Yes, of course.
Van Helsing sleeps while Arthur sits reads
Dracula stands outside Lucy's window
Arthur falls asleep
Lucy awakens and walks to the garden
Lucy and Dracula embrace passionately
Dracula drinks of Lucy's blood
THE NEXT MORNING
Lucy's Bedroom
Van Helsing awakens Arthur

16. HELSING: Arthur, she's gone!
Van Helsing and Arthur run into the garden
ARTHUR: Doctor, she's over there!
Lucy sits listlessly in a garden seat
LATER THAT MORNING
Lucy's Bedroom
Van Helsing gives Lucy a transfusion of the maid's blood
MRS. WESTENRA: Will it work, Doctor?
HELSING: It is already working.
LATER
The Parlour
Van Helsing pores drinks for himself and Arthur
ARTHUR: What is happening to her?
HELSING: Drink?
ARTHUR: Yes, please.
HELSING: Have you ever heard of nosferatu?

17. ARTHUR: No, what is it?
HELSING: It means 'the undead'.
ARTHUR: What are you saying?
HELSING: That your fiancee may be the unknowing victim of a
vampire, a preternatural being, a reanimated corpse that drinks
the blood of the living by night. Thus, the throat wounds.
ARTHUR: That is the most ridiculous...
HELSING: Hear me out, Arthur. I happen to believe that there
exists, in the vicinity of Hillingham, a vampire. That is why I
placed the wreath of garlic flowers around Lucy's neck and
crosses over the doors and windows of her room. That is the
only way that the vampire can be kept away from its victim.
ARTHUR: How can you, a man of science, believe such things?
HELSING: Because I've lived long enough to accept what is,
whether science agrees with it or not. We shall continue as
before but this time I shall make sure that we stay awake.
THREE DAYS LATER
Lucy's Bedroom
Lucy sits at the window, reading
Enter Mina and Mrs. Westenra

18. LUCY: Mina!
MINA: Lucy. How lovely to see you looking so well again.
LUCY: I'm so glad you're here. I'm feeling much better.
A Stream
Arthur rows Lucy in a boat
The Patio
Lucy, Mrs. Westenra and Mina are served lunch
MRS. WESTENRA: Set them down there.
Enter Van Helsing and Arthur
HELSING: What a pity to have to leave this charming company.
LUCY: Dear Dr. Van Helsing, how can I ever thank you?
HELSING: Your returning health is my reward, my dear. Now, I
really must go. I'll see you at your wedding.
LUCY: Oh, you shall have a special place at the church, won't
he, Arthur? And, of course, at our table afterwards.
HELSING: Mrs. Westenra.

19. MRS. WESTENRA: I can't tell you how grateful I am.
HELSING: I'm happy I could help. Will you walk me to my
carriage, my boy?
Arthur and Van Helsing walk toward a carriage
HELSING: Now, Arthur, whether you believe what I've said or
not, do not alter by a single detail the procedure we have
followed during the last three nights. Now, here is more than
enough stimulant with which to stay awake. Then, there should
be no problem.
ARTHUR: And you're still certain we shouldn't call in the
authorities?
HELSING: Dear Arthur, if I haven't yet succeeded in convincing
you, how shall I convince the authorities? No, we must do this
by ourselves. You will continue every safeguard?
ARTHUR: (nods)
HELSING: Good. When I return, we will start our search. All
right, Thomas.
Exit Van Helsing and driver in carriage
THAT NIGHT
The Scarborough Zoo

20. A zookeeper sees someone near the wolf cage
ZOOKEEPER: Here. Here. Nobody's allowed in the grounds after
dark. Hey, what's the matter with you? Can't you read the
bloomin' signs? What are you doing? Here, what are you up to
there?
Dracula sets loose the wolf
LATER
Lucy's Bedroom
Lucy sleeps while Arthur and Mrs. Westenra keep watch
MRS. WESTENRA: You must tell me what Dr. Van Helsing said.
ARTHUR: Mrs. Westenra, the important thing is that Lucy is
recovering.
Offstage: Wolf call
Arthur peers out window
ARTHUR: I can't see anything.
Wolf leaps in window and attacks Arthur
Mrs. Westenra faints
Arthur shoots wolf and then passes out
Enter Dracula

21. MOMENTS LATER
The hall outside Lucy's Bedroom
Maid and manservant knock on door
BURGESS: Mrs. Westenra! Mrs. Westenra! Mrs. Westenra! Mrs.
Westenra! Stay here. I'll get the key.
Lucy's Bedroom
Arthur regains consciousness
ARTHUR: Mrs. Westenra?
Enter maid and Burgess
ARTHUR: Look after her. Burgess, come with me.
Arthur and Burgess run out to garden
Lucy lies dead under a tree
DAYS LATER
A Cemetery
Lucy's Funeral
MINISTER: For as much as it please Almighty God, with his great
mercy, to take unto himself the soul of our dear sister, Lucy
Rebecca Westenra, dear departed, we therefore commit her body to
the ground. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We
show uncertain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, through
our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our vile body that it

22. might be likened to his glorious body according to mighty
working whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
THREE NIGHTS LATER
The Parlour
Arthur sits alone looking at Lucy's portrait
There is a tapping at the window
Lucy appears
ARTHUR: No. You're not there! You're dead!
LUCY: I'm not dead, Arthur, I'm alive. Please let me in. It's
cold out here. Please, Arthur, please. Let me in. Let me in,
Arthur, please. Please. Let me in.
Arthur opens the window
Lucy enters the parlour
LUCY: Oh, my darling.
Lucy and Arthur embrace
LUCY: I made it back. Nothing's ever going to keep us apart
again. Oh, my love, we'll always be together now. Always.
Hold me. Hold me very close. I love you. I love you, and now
I'm yours. Forever.
Lucy bares her teeth at Arthur's neck

23. Enter Van Helsing
HELSING: Arthur!
Van Helsing holds up crucifix
Lucy flees
ARTHUR: Lucy! Lucy!
HELSING: No, Arthur. It isn't Lucy.
ARTHUR: Let me go.
HELSING: It isn't Lucy. Lucy's dead.
ARTHUR: She isn't dead. She isn't.
HELSING: Then what is she running from? Why did she flee from
the cross?
ARTHUR: Because she was frightened.
HELSING: No, Arthur. Lucy's dead. What came to you is a
vampire. She came to drink your blood.
DAWN
Lucy's Tomb
Enter Arthur and Van Helsing
Lucy lies in her coffin

24. HELSING: See. It's already dawn. Do you understand now?
Van Helsing drives a stake through Lucy's heart
LATER THAT MORNING
The Parlour
Mina looks out the window
Enter Van Helsing
HELSING: Ah, Miss Mina. I would be glad if you would have the
kindness to prepare yourself and Mrs. Westenra for a trip to
Whitby. I think it would be best if you stayed away from here
for a few days.
MINA: I must insist that you tell me what's going on.
HELSING: I'm sorry, I can't.
MINA: Why? Why can't I be told?
HELSING: Because...No, you're right, you should know the truth.
There is a possibility--it's not a certainty, mind, but a
possibility--that the man who killed Lucy may return.
MINA: Who would want to kill Lucy?
HELSING: The vampire. Please, Miss Mina, I know what you must

25. think but you must take my word. It would be better for you and
Mrs. Westenra to be away from here. Arthur and I will attempt
to track down this vampire to his hiding place, find him in his
box of earth, and kill him. You see, by day a vampire must
remain in his coffin upon a layer of soil from his native land.
I know this is difficult for you to understand, Miss Mina...
MINA: Did you say 'box of earth'?
HELSING: Yes, I did. Why?
MINA: Mrs. Westenra spoke of a boat that beached itself in
Whitby some while back. The boat was entirely in ballast with
the exception of a few wooden boxes partially filled with earth.
JUST PAST SUNSET
Lucy's Tomb
Enter Dracula
DRACULA: Come, love. Come. Come.
When there is no answer, Dracula opens Lucy's coffin
DRACULA: Nooooo!
Dracula remembers being captured by soldiers
while the woman resembling Lucy lies dead
THAT EVENING

26. Outside the Hillingham Estate
Mina, Mrs. Westenra, Van Helsing and Arthur board a carriage
HELSING: Oh, Miss Mina. I don't want you to say anything to
Mrs. Westenra that we've spoken of.
MINA: I won't. How long will you and Arthur be gone?
HELSING: With any luck at all, we should be back to collect you
by tomorrow afternoon.
The carriage heads down the road
Dracula watches from a sideroad
LATER
A hotel lobby in Whitby
Enter Arthur, Van Helsing, Mrs. Westenra and Mina
ARTHUR: I believe you have a room for Mrs. Westenra and Miss
Murray.
DESKCLERK: Yes, 2-C.
HELSING: Would it be possible for you to provide us with a
carriage?
DESKCLERK: Certainly, sir.

27. HELSING: Good. We'll be down as soon as I've made sure the
ladies are comfortable.

carriage for these gentlemen?
Outside the hotel, Dracula peers up to Mina's window

struggles with a half dozen others
and escapes
EARLY THE NEXT MORNING
Whitby Shipping Services
Van Helsing and Arthur interview the shipping clerk

28. CLERK: Here we are. The Russian schooner Demeter from Varna.
That name rings a bell. Demeter. Of course, I remember now.
That's the mystery ship.
HELSING: How many boxes of earth was the ship carrying?
CLERK: Boxes of common earth to be used for experimental
purposes number ten.
HELSING: Ten?
CLERK: That's odd. Only nine of them were picked up from the
schooner.
HELSING: Delivered to whom?
CLERK: Picked up on the written instructions of a man named
Dracula...Count Dracula.
HELSING: By whom?
CLERK: Wainright Shipping Services, Stockton.

Van Helsing and Arthur search for Dracula
ARTHUR: Doctor!
Arthur finds a roomfull of boxes
ARTHUR: So, he isn't here.
HELSING: No, nor is the tenth box.
ARTHUR: What does that mean?
HELSING: He has gotten himself a second hiding place. Thank
God he hasn't had the chance yet to find any more. Obviously,
he means to find a different place for each of these boxes.
ARTHUR: What are we going to do now?
HELSING: It's getting late. Help me to push these boxes
together.
THAT NIGHT
The hotel lobby in Whitby
Enter Van Helsing and Arthur
DESKCLERK: Gentlemen, Miss Murray and Mrs. Westenra have
already left.

31. HELSING: Left?
DESKCLERK: A very unfortunate incident occurred. It seems that
a madman somehow broke into the inn last night.
HELSING: Was he caught?
DESKCLERK: No, sir, unfortunately not. The ladies left this
note for you, sir.
ARTHUR: What is it?
HELSING: They've gone back to Hillingham.
MEANWHILE
The Parlour at Hillingham
Mina and Mrs. Westenra await the return
of Arthur and Van Helsing
MINA: I can't imagine where they could be.
The Kitchen
Maid and manservant sit at table
Offstage: Loud noise
BURGESS: Stay here.
Servant enters hallway

Enter Van Helsing and Arthur
HELSING: Let her go.
Van Helsing holds up a crucifix
DRACULA: Throw it away.
Dracula tightens his grip on Mina
MINA: (screams)
HELSING: All right.
Van Helsing tosses crucifix aside
DRACULA: So, you play your wits against mine. Me, who

33. commanded armies hundred of years before you were born. There
is no way in this life to stop me. And to that end, this.
Dracula rips open his chest and makes Mina drink
DRACULA: Now she will be blood of my blood, kin of my kin,
later my companion in the night. You are my slave and helper.
Exit Dracula
LATER
Carfax Estate
Dracula finds his coffins burnt and smoldering
MEANWHILE
Mina's Bedroom
Van Helsing hypnotizes Mina while Arthur watches
ARTHUR: Do you think it will work?
HELSING: If what he says is literally true...that she is now
blood of his blood, kin of his kin, subject to the calling of
his mind. Miss Mina, can you hear me? Miss Mina, can you hear
me?
MINA: Yes.
HELSING: Where are you?

34. MINA: At Hillingham.
HELSING: But that is only part of you. There is another part
now, isn't there, Miss Mina? Now you are part of him, aren't
you, Miss Mina?
MINA: Yes.
HELSING: Can you tell me where that part is? Where is it?
What are you looking at? Where are you? What can you see?
MINA: Darkness.
HELSING: Can you tell me where it is?
MINA: No. Darkness.
HELSING: Can you hear anything? Can you hear anything, Miss
Mina?
MINA: Water splashing by outside.
ARTHUR: What is it?
HELSING: We should never have destroyed those boxes. Now he's
leaving England.
ARTHUR: Isn't that what we want?

35. HELSING: That's the last thing in the world we want. She is in
his control now with his blood in her veins. If we fail to find
him, she may be subject to his influence till she dies.
ARTHUR: So, she will die?
HELSING: Yes.
ARTHUR: And after she dies?
HELSING: I'm very much afraid she will become like Lucy.
ARTHUR: But you don't know. You can't be sure.
HELSING: Oh, I can't be sure. I can only pray to God that I'm
wrong. But this much I do know...that whatever does happen is
going to happen soon. Dracula originally came from Varna. He
may decide to go back there. We must examine all the shipping
lists. If he does go back, we might get there first.
MINA: Dracula.
Helsing wakes Mina.
MINA: Did I tell you anything?
HELSING: You mentioned the name Dracula. How do you know that
name?

36. MINA: That was the name of the man Jonathan went to see in
Transylvania.

DAYS LATER
A Train
Mina, Arthur and Van Helsing consult timetables
HELSING: Doolittle's Wharf last night destination Varna.
Traveling over land in Europe, we could get to Varna before him.
ARTHUR: I still don't like the idea of Mina being with us.
HELSING: Well, she's got to be with us. It's the only way we
can know where he is.
MINA: Doctor?
HELSING: Yes, Mina?
MINA: I want you to promise me something.
HELSING: Of course.

37. MINA: If you should not find Dracula and it becomes apparent
that there is no hope for me, I want you to deal with me as you
did Lucy.
HELSING: Mina.
MINA: You must promise me.
HELSING: Nothing is going to happen to you, Mina.
MINA: I feel it. I feel it happening to me. I'm losing myself
bit by bit. It won't be long now.
SOME TIME LATER
Mina's Hotel Room
Mina sleeps
The Hallway outside Mina's room
Arthur waits
Enter Van Helsing from Mina's room
ARTHUR: How is she?
HELSING: Not very well.
ARTHUR: This is Madame Cristoff. She'll look after Mina while
we're away. Now, do you understand you're not to leave her for
a moment while we're gone?

38. MME. CRISTOFF: Yes, of course.
ARTHUR: Is she asleep?
HELSING: Yes.
ARTHUR: And you've told her we're going back to England in the
morning?
HELSING: Yes. Now all we have to do is hope that that's what
he will think. Come on, Arthur. We've got a long hard ride
ahead of us if we're to get to Castle Dracula before tomorrow
night. We'd better get ready.
ARTHUR: Take good care of her.
THE NEXT DAY

"In the 15th Century in the area of Hungary known as
Transylvania, there lived a nobleman so fierce in battle that
his troops gave him the name Dracula which means 'devil.'
Soldier...statesman...alchemist and warrior, so powerful a man
was he that it was claimed that he succeeded in overcoming even
physical death. To this day, it has yet to be disproven."
