Dracula Page #2

- May I have a brandy, please?

- Certainly, sir.

LANDLORD:
Traveling far?

HELSING:
Not much farther, I hope.

HELSING:
Is it possible to have a meal?

LANDLORD:
Yes, sir.

Inga!

Only a simple one, I'm afraid, sir.

- Your change, sir.

- Thank you.

We don't get many travelers in these parts.

Not that stop, anyway.

You had one a few days ago, I believe.

A Mr. Harker.

- Harker, sir?

- Yes.

He's a friend of mine.

- He wrote to me from this address.

- Not here, sir.

I remember the gentleman.

He gave me a letter to post.

Hold your tongue, girl!

Was this the letter?

- I'm not sure.

- Perhaps you remember the name.

Dr. Van Helsing.

I'm not sure.

LANDLORD:
Go and prepare a meal for

this gentleman. At once. Do you hear me?

What are you afraid of?

- I don't understand you.

- Why all these garlic flowers?

And over the window?

And up here?

They're not for decoration, are they?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- I think you do.

And that you know something

about my friend.

HELSING:
He came here to help you.

LANDLORD:
We haven't asked for any help.

You need it all the same.

Look, sir.

You're a stranger here in Klausenberg.

Some things are best left alone...

...such as interfering in things

which are beyond our powers.

Please, don't misunderstand me.

This is more than a superstition, I know.

The danger is very real.

If the investigation that Mr. Harker and I

are engaged upon is successful...

...not only you,

but the whole world will benefit.

HELSING:
Castle Dracula is somewhere here

in Klausenberg.

Will you tell me how I get there?

You ordered a meal, sir.

As an innkeeper it is my duty to serve you.

When you have eaten,

I ask you to go and leave us in peace.

Your meal will be ready in a minute

if you'd like to take a seat.

Thank you.

This was found

at the crossroads near that place.

He told me to burn it.

But your friend

was such a nice gentleman, I couldn't.

Harker?

Harker!

Harker!

HELSING:
Harker!

[Sinister instrumental music]

[Climactic instrumental music]

[Metal clinking]

I'm sorry, Mr. Holmwood, but I cannot

tell you anything more about his death.

Cannot or will not?

Whichever you wish.

Dr. Van Helsing, I am not at all satisfied.

You suddenly appear and tell us

that Jonathan Harker is dead.

Yet you will not tell us

where or how he died.

- I find it extremely suspicious.

- Arthur!

HELSING:
You have the death certificate.

ARTHUR:
Yes. Signed by you.

When did he die, Doctor?

- 10 days ago.

- 10 days ago!

- Where was he buried?

- He was cremated.

- By whose authority?

- His own.

As his friend and colleague,

he told me long ago he would wish it.

ARTHUR:
You must know Jonathan
