Prof. VON FRANZ :
Untie this child at once!
Dr. SIEVERS :
It’s all I could do to keep her from
tearing the room to ribbons.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Untie her.
You are the Doctor
our Sievers spoke of?
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Drugged?
Dr. SIEVERS :
I have been administering an opiate.
She must rest by day, for
Her Body is in utter stress
all The Night.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
She cannot be clouded.
Step away. Step away.
My Dear Creature, yes,
I am he, and I am hither
come to Help You.
(kitten meows)
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Is she your's?
Greta? She has no
Master nor Mistress.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Quite so.
I entreat you to excuse me, but I should
like to begin my consultation presently.
You see, I have A Curiosity about You.
Dr. Sievers tells me that you have
had these spells since childhood.
Would you describe them to me, please?
I cannot always remember them.
As if my spirit wanders off.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Tell me what you can,
from The Beginning.
Sometimes it was…
it is like A Dream.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Hmm.
And I know things.
I always knew the contents
of my Christmas gifts.
I knew when that my
mother would pass.
Father, he would find me in our fields
within the forest as if I was
his little changeling girl.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
I see.
But as I became older,
it worsened.
I frightened him.
My Touch.
I was so very alone, you see,
and I wished for comfort.
Then A Presence and
The Nightmares,
The Epilepsies, I…
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Pray, continue.
At last, Papa found me once laying.
Unclothed, I was.
My Body, my…
My Flesh, I… “Sin.”
“Sin,” he said.
He would have sent me to
that place. I… I shan’t go.
No, no.
It all ended when I
first met my Thomas.
From our love,
I became as normal.
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Yet these visions and
night wanderings
have returned to you?
I fear for him so.
Professor. My Dreams
grow darker.
Does Evil come from within
us or from beyond?
(clock ticking)
(wheezing)
Prof. VON FRANZ :
Her Trance-state
is begun.
You have bled her to
decrease the congestion?
Dr. SIEVERS :
Of course.
VON FRANZ: And her menstruations are also?
Dr. SIEVERS :
Liberal.
VON FRANZ:
Too much blood.
Too much blood.
A taper, please.
(wheezing continues)
Her pupil is expanded.
It does not contract
naturally to light.
Dr. SIEVERS :
Impossible.
VON FRANZ:
A second-sight.
She is no longer here.
My bag --
Forgive the grotesque tediousness
of this demonstration --
The needle.
However, I must impress upon you
that this child is not with us.
(Anna gasps)
Professor, I do protest.
Restrain your protestation,
for she feels nothing.
She communes now
with another realm.
Tend to the wound, Sievers.
Now…
Do you hear me,
my child?
(Ellen moans)
And what then do you see?
I charge you, speak
now what you see.
Enduring night.
A specter of death.
He… he spreads his shadow,
and he… he… he is coming.
Who? Who is coming
to You, My Child?
Who, Damn you? Speak!
(grunting rapidly)
Yield before this
Ancient Talisman!
(Ellen gasping)
ANNA :
Professor!
I will not Harm her!
(deep, raspy breathing)
I Command You,
Hearken to My Voice --
By The Protection of Chamuel,
Haniel and Zadkiel, impart
Your Speech unto Me --
(gagging)
In The Name of Eligos,
Orabas and Asmoday,impart
Your Speech unto Me --
(inhales deeply)
(MASSIVE Spine-
wrenching Convulsion)
Count Orlock :
(Spookily acting
at A Distance) :
(Demonic voice)
I shall persist to join
you every night, first in
sleep, then in your arms.
Everything will be
mixed with abomination, and
you’ll be knee-deep in blood.
Everyone will cry.
There will be none
to bury The Dead.
You are promised to Me!
