You open the door|when I give you the cue.

Ready ?|Are we ready ?

Yeah, yeah.

And roll camera.|Iris in.

And... begin.

Gustav, you walk in|very slowly.

Very slowly, yes.

Feel your bag.|Make sure you have|your contracts.

You're afraid.

Who was the person|who brought you ?

You must go|into the castle.

The castle calls you.

The gates suddenly open.

You must go in.

That's excellent, Gustav.

Go forward.

Go forward.

And... end.

Wolf?|Yeah, it's okay.

I'm in charge|of their construction.

Who built all this ?|We have an agreement.

Albin, Albin,|I sent some local workers|ahead this morning.

I'm sorry|I didn't explain to you.

Please, there's a generator|in the courtyard, just past|the tree on the right.

Get it to work|and replace this camera.

We had an agreement!|Yes. Stay here|for a moment.

Wolf, your camera's here.|Set it up as quickly|as possible. Yes?

Roll camera.

Gustav, you move forward|very slowly,

heading always|for the tunnel.

This is erfect.|Just a darkhole,

that has been unexplored,|untouched...

for long, long time.

And then, one night,

something crawls out.

Hutter...

meet Count Orlock.

[Rolling Thunder]

Gustav, you must follow him|into the tunnel.

Yes. Going in.

Make your way down.

And...

end.

Wolf?

[ Panting ]|My God !

Wolf?|Yeah, got it.

Remarkable.

The overture|to our symphony of horrors.

Genius, Hutter, genius.

He is not from|the Reinhardt Company.

Mm. Congratulations,|Gustav.

Yes. I was good,|wasn't I ?

I saw his face.|His face.

Where did you fiind him|really ?

In that hole.

Gustav, this was|your finest moment.

Good, Gustav.|Gentlemen,|let's pack up.

Shooting is completed|for the night.

That's it ?|We came all the way|for one scene.

I would have driven|anywhere at any time|for that look of Gustav's.

I would like to|congratulate Herr Schreck|on his extraordinary appearance.

For the remainder|of the shoot,|he will be Count Orlock,

to himself|and to all of us.

Just leave the man alone.|He will be completely|authentic.

He's not interested|in our questions or our praise|or our conversations.

He's chasing an altogether|different ghost.

Friedrich, come quick,|it's Wolf.

[ Groaning ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Chattering ]

Is my room ready ?

Yes.

Nosferatu !

Oh, this is too much.

Answer me, Herr Doctor,|is this some stunt|to evoke fear in us ?

Henrik,|stop being so theatrical.|You'll wake the whole house.

Go on up, Wolf,|and have a brandy.

You'll feel better|in the morning.

What's happened ?

He's ill, obviously.|Take him upstairs,

and then go outside|and help Herr Grau|with the camera equipment.

Bring the cameras|straight to my room,

and prepare for tomorrow.

[ Murmuring ]
