00:15We now present George Edwards in Frankenstein.
00:20We now present George Edwards in Frankenstein.
00:53Perhaps you would care to have another look through my journal, Baron Frankenstein.
00:57You may desire to make some further corrections.
01:00If you will leave your journal here, I will go through it, Captain Walton.
01:04On looking through the porthole, I notice that the weather is improving.
01:10Yes, it is noticeably warmer, too.
01:13I think the thaw will set in at any day.
01:16Then at last we can proceed on our journey to England.
01:19I trust you will be accompanying us, Baron.
01:22I doubt it.
01:24Strange that neither you nor your crew have seen any sign of the monster.
01:29Let us trust that the monster no longer lives.
01:32I must make sure before I return.
01:36I think that very soon I will be able to go up on deck.
01:39I am feeling so much better.
01:41The surgeon says that within a few days you may be able to go up on deck.
01:45Now, would you care to tell me some more of your story?
01:49Well, let me see the journal.
01:52Ah, I was telling you how I returned home to my wife.
01:57I was afraid to tell her of the death of Ernst Claval.
02:01Well, and I was terrified that the monster would keep his promise and appear on the day that I was
02:07reunited with Elizabeth.
02:09While we were talking, we suddenly heard a ghastly laugh.
02:13And I knew that the monster had kept his promise.
02:17Elizabeth clung to me in terror and I said...
02:20Now, Elizabeth, you understand why I must guard you carefully.
02:24The monster has returned and he has designs on your life.
02:28But I thought that he had promised never to take another human life.
02:32He did not keep his promise, nor did I keep mine.
02:38He is outside that door, Victor.
02:41What can we do?
02:42I will lock the door.
02:45We are safe in here.
02:47I am terrified.
02:49I have kept my promise, Frankenstein.
02:53You broke yours to me.
02:55It seems that my creator can wait to promise and break it.
03:00But I do not break promises.
03:03Have you sincerely mourned the death of your friend Ernst Claval?
03:07Ernst Claval?
03:09Is he dead?
03:10I will explain later, Elizabeth.
03:13I am going now, Frankenstein.
03:16But I will not be very far away.
03:19Ha, ha, not very far away.
03:23Victor.
03:23What can you do?
03:25I will arrange for a bodyguard to come to the house.
03:28We will make plans to slay that foul monster.
03:32Tell me about Ernst Claval.
03:33Well, I was trying to keep the news from you.
03:38Ernst has been killed, murdered by the monster.
03:43Oh, Elizabeth.
03:45Are we to spend the rest of our days in fear and terror?
03:49Am I never to cease to suffer because of the crime which I committed?
03:54I will carry this pistol, Victor.
03:56And we will take every precaution to try and protect ourselves.
04:00Oh, the monster will not kill me.
04:02He desires me to live on and suffer.
04:05Oh, but I am afraid for you.
04:09Tomorrow, you shall leave here.
04:11You will go to England.
04:13Think you not that a monster would follow me?
04:15Oh, I am safer with you, Victor.
04:17We must not be parted again.
04:19Oh, it is my fault that we are suffering all this misery.
04:23We have each other.
04:25We must do all in our power to rid the world of this foul creature.
04:29I will send a message to the burgomaster at once.
04:32I will ask him to send his best man here to act as a bodyguard.
04:36And together, we shall plan to bring about the downfall of the monster.
04:41You must send one of the servants for the message at once.
04:43Oh, Elizabeth.
04:44Until that monster dies, we are to spend our days in terror and abject misery.
04:50Let us pray that we shall abstain with our lives.
04:55Well, Baron Frankenstein, did the burgomaster send someone to protect you from the monster?
05:00A man called Fabian was sent to the house.
05:04He took up his quarters there, and he acted as our bodyguard.
05:10But I assure you, Captain Walton, that my wife and I experience misery, terror, and suspense
05:19such as is known to few mortal beings.
05:23Every footstep, every sound caused us to start.
05:29We were prisoners in our own home.
05:32Still there was no sign of the monster.
05:35There came a day when I sent for the man Fabian.
05:39I discussed with him the best plans for finding the vile creature which was endangering our existence.
05:47When Fabian came into the room, I said...
05:51Oh, be seated, Fabian.
05:54Tell me, where is the baroness?
05:57She has gone to her room to rest.
06:00I saw that her door was locked, Baron Frankenstein.
06:03Do you think we need an extra bodyguard in the house?
06:06Well, it might be advisable to have another man here.
06:09Fortunately, we are all armed.
06:11The baroness never goes anywhere without her pistols.
06:14And you and I carry two pistols.
06:17Do you think the monster is somewhere in the ground?
06:20I have had the ground searched each day, and still there is no sign of the monster.
06:25I do not know where he can be.
06:27Let us send a message to the burgomaster and ask him to send another man here.
06:32We will do that at once.
06:34I feel that we will receive a visit from the monster at any time.
06:39And if there is an extra man here, we will have more chance of overpowering and killing the creature.
06:45I will give the message to the servant now.
06:50Wait.
06:51This is strange.
06:53What ails you, Baron Frankenstein?
06:54The door will not open.
06:56Let me see.
06:58Why?
06:59It is locked from the outside.
07:00Was the key on the outside of the door?
07:03It must have been.
07:04But I did not place it there.
07:06Well, who could have locked us in?
07:08Surely the monster is not here.
07:10We will have to break away out of here.
07:12My wife.
07:13She is upstairs in her room.
07:15We must get out of here at once.
07:20But it's Elizabeth.
07:21Help me to break this door open.
07:23It is a heavy saw.
07:24Out in the rain.
07:25I was mentioned with his hair.
07:26Everything's dry.
07:28The floor is too heavy.
07:30Where are you, servant?
07:32Why do they not come to help us?
07:33Help me to come and open these doors.
07:35A moment.
07:35A moment.
07:36I think I can break the panels with the corner on this small table.
07:39Stand clear, Baron.
07:40I must get out of here.
07:41My wife.
07:42I heard a scream and I heard a shock.
07:44Hurry, baby.
07:45A moment.
07:46A moment.
07:47There.
07:48I have brought them a panel.
07:49It is not big enough to go.
07:50Do you yet break another?
07:51I am going to rest.
07:53I can't.
07:54Out there.
07:54Oh, let me go through.
07:56I will follow you.
07:56Oh, look.
08:00There.
08:02At the foot of the stairs.
08:05The Baroness.
08:07Oh.
08:08Elizabeth, what has happened?
08:12Oh.
08:14Look at the marks on her throat.
08:17The Baroness is dead.
08:20Choked to death by the monster.
08:24He kept his promise.
08:26Oh, look.
08:28The pistol lies there by her side.
08:31She must have fired it to try to save herself.
08:34And we were too late.
08:35We were locked down in the library.
08:37I must go for help at once.
08:38Oh, we are helpless.
08:40No one can prevail against the brute which I created.
08:43He swore to kill my wife.
08:45And now he has kept his promise.
08:47Oh, and listen.
08:49You are distressed in the telling of this story, Baron Frankenstein.
08:53Shall I leave you alone?
08:56I shudder now as I recall the horror of that moment.
09:01As the realization came to me that my beloved wife had been murdered,
09:05I felt as if I had murdered her myself.
09:09But I shall live to avenge her.
09:11The monster must die.
09:16What is that?
09:18Don't step.
09:19That I know so well.
09:20The monster is here on the ship.
09:22Are you armed, Captain?
09:23I am, sir.
09:24We meet again, Frankenstein.
09:27And I can lock this door behind me.
09:30Why have you come here?
09:31I hope that you were dead.
09:32You vile, murdering creature.
09:35I have no sympathy for you.
09:37Only hatred and loathing.
09:38Stand where you are, Captain.
09:40I hold you firm.
09:42Hurry, you tremble.
09:42Let me go.
09:43If you call for help, you shall die.
09:45Why should you kill me?
09:46I have done you no harm.
09:48You have said that your sympathies are all with Frankenstein.
09:51But do you not realize that I also have suffered?
09:58Our quarrel is almost over, Frankenstein.
10:01I have come to tell you that I will slay no more of your friends unless they seek to slay
10:11me.
10:13I have but one life to claim now.
10:17Whose life is that?
10:21Your Frankenstein.
10:24The creature shall kill the creator.
10:27The monster shall destroy the man who created him.
10:32Mark that will, Frankenstein.
10:35Before the ship leaves, you shall die.
10:40I only pray that before the ship leaves, I am given the strength to kill you.
10:47I will be content to die when you are dead.
10:53Think not to escape me, Frankenstein.
10:56Your life and mine are bound together.
11:01I go now, but be prepared.
11:09The end may not be far distant.
11:15Go after him, Captain.
11:17Oh, quick.
11:19Bid your men shoot him down.
11:21No.
11:22No.
11:23No.
11:23I cannot go after him, Baron Frankenstein.
11:27I do not think that anyone can kill that monster.
11:31And he has sworn to kill all who strive to slay him.
11:36Oh.
11:36You must despise me and think me a coward.
11:42I do not think that.
11:43I understand.
11:46But go on, Dick.
11:48Captain, tell your men to keep a close guard.
11:52And whatever you do, see that the officers are armed.
11:56And carry a firearm yourself.
11:59Then return to me and I will continue my story.
12:19I do not think that you do, see that the officers are armed.
