Son of Dracula Page #2

His heart might have stopped before the fire.

He may have died in his sleep.

He looks as though he were

literally frightened to death.

It's purely a reflex of the facial muscles.

Doctor, what are those two marks

on the throat?

(Claire sobbing)

Come, Claire. I think you'd better go.

(Car door slams)

(Car drives away)

(Knocking)

Announce Count Alucard.

Explain that I came by motor

and was delayed.

I'm sorry, sir,

but Colonel Caldwell died tonight

and the family isn't receiving.

- Announce me!

- Yes, sir.

Central, I called Professor Lazlo at

Muirfield University about half an hour ago.

Will you please check the call for me?

This is Dr Harry Brewster, 228. Thank you.

(Telephone)

Hello?

Yes, this is Harry Brewster speaking.

Fine, thank you.

Why, I called to find out

if you know anything about

a titled Hungarian family named Alucard,

A- L-U-C-A-R-D.

Alucard? No.

I'm sure there is no such family.

The name is not Hungarian.

Well, can you tell me, is it possible

there's a Count Dracula still living?

Dracula? I'm sure there is not.

History says the last Count Dracula

died in the Middle Ages. Why do you ask?

A certain Count Alucard

is visiting a friend of mine.

I happened to notice that

the name spelled backward is Dracula.

It made me curious.

That is strange.

According to the legends of my people

the last Count Dracula

became one of the undead, a vampire,

and was finally destroyed

in the 19th century.

(Chuckles) I am considered somewhat

of an authority on the subject.

'That's why I called you.

'Lf this man is an impostor,

why should he assume that name? '

He wouldn't, not if he were sane.

In Transylvania,

the name is associated only with evil.

I advise you to be very careful of that man.

From your tone, I gather you don't disbelieve

the legends of the former Dracula.

In my research, I have uncovered data

which I cannot entirely disprove.

I do not say I believe but, in honesty,

I cannot say I disbelieve.

I repeat, be very, very careful of that man.

I will, Professor. Thank you very much.

Goodbye, sir.

This will is a comparatively

simple document,

as you two girls are

the only living kin of Colonel Caldwell.

It divides the entire estate,

cash, securities, evenly between...

Pardon me, Judge Simmons.

May I ask the date of that will?

August 24. It was made on the occasion

of Miss Claire's attaining legal age.

Then there's a will of a later date.

There's no important difference

between them.

There's an important difference

for you, Kay.

According to this,

you get nothing but the plantation.

Claire gets all cash and securities.

It's properly witnessed

and can't be disputed
