The Ghost of Frankenstein Page #2

---

He's huge, a monster.

I've never seen anything like him.

Very well, Erik.

As soon as I finish my work, I'll come down.

Thank you, sir. I'll be expecting you.

Come.

There's a man in the waiting room

to see you, Doctor. He says it's very urgent.

He comes from the village of Frankenstein.

Very well, I'll see him.

Martha...

I'd rather

my daughter didn't know about this visitor.

Certainly, sir.

How does it feel to face a man

you thought your brother killed, Doctor?

- What do you want?

- The monster is with me.

He's the one in the police station.

But he won't be there long.

You will bring him here.

- The law must take its course.

- Law! What can the law do to him?

Do you think

they can keep him in jail?

He is more dangerous today

than he ever was before.

Besides his sick brain, he has a sick body.

You can make him well, Frankenstein.

How? What can I do?

You can harness the lightning,

as your father did.

Pour life into his hungry veins.

Give him back the strength

he once had.

Will you do it, Frankenstein?

Ever since the day my father put life

into that creature, it has been a curse.

The terrible consequences of his creation

killed my father...

and drove my brother into exile.

The monster shall not ruin my life.

I'm happy here.

I have a lovely daughter, friends.

They know nothing of all this.

You wouldn't like to spoil that, Doctor,

would you?

You wouldn't want me to tell them...

that you are the son of the Frankenstein

that created him...

that your brother made the thing live...

after it had been dead for years.

Do you want me to tell them, Frankenstein?

No.

All right.

Then you'll make the police

to hand him over to you.

Yes.

I could do that.

And you will do it, Frankenstein.

Very well.

Now get out!

Father, who was that strange man I saw

leaving the house?

Nobody of any consequence, darling.

A patient.

He smiled at me.

A cruel smile.

It was dreadful.

Well, you know what my patients are.

Don't let it worry you.

Now come along, my dear.

I must be getting down to the village.

Order! Order, please!

I've read the report

on the nameless prisoner.

I don't understand the urgency

that requires an immediate hearing.

This is an unusual case, sir.

The prisoner's dangerous.

It'd be wise to remand him

to the higher court...

and transfer him to the city soon.

I understand the man is insane.

There's no doubt of it.

But that's for the higher court to determine.

We should make a report

on the prisoner's mental condition.

Dr. Frankenstein will be here shortly

to examine him.

Very well.

The prosecutor may proceed.

What is your name?

Where are you from?

Who brought you to Vasaria?
