The Ghost of Frankenstein Page #5

---

The monster

will never trouble anyone again.

Good morning.

I was wondering, Doctor,

when you plan to operate.

At once.

Tonight, if possible.

- I should like to see the patient immediately.

- Yes, Doctor.

A new brain. You understand?

A new brain. New brain!

- Does he understand?

- Yes.

- Is he willing?

- Can't you see?

He is the first time happy in his life.

Good. Take good care of him today.

I shall operate tonight.

All right.

No. Not now. Tonight.

So you're going to let Frankenstein

do this operation...

to put the brain of his friend into our friend.

- Our friend?

- Yeah.

You, the great Dr. Bohmer...

who taught Frankenstein

everything he knows.

How would you like to be

the leader of your profession in this state?

The head of the medical commission?

The regent of the university?

You weave a pretty fairy tale, crooked neck.

How could that be accomplished?

You will see to it...

that the brain of Kettering

does not go into the head of the monster.

But why?

My brain will go into it.

- You fool, you'd die.

- Die! I will live again.

Only this crooked body will die.

I will live forever.

My brain in that body

would make me a leader of men.

We would rule the state...

and even the whole country.

You'll do as I say...

and you will have everything you want.

- Good evening, Doctor.

- Good evening.

- Good evening, Erik.

- Good evening.

We're awfully sorry

to disturb you.

We've called

regarding the escaped maniac.

- Well?

- The countryside's been combed.

Every barn and haystack's been searched...

and the neighbouring villages

have been notified.

But he and his companion

have disappeared completely.

It seems that you've done

all that is possible.

A creature like that

couldn't pass long unnoticed.

Obviously

someone's offering him refuge.

What are you trying to insinuate, Erik?

Perhaps you would care

to search the estate.

I warn you,

if you contemplate such presumption...

you will not be welcome here

in the future as my guest.

That won't be necessary.

If you'll permit me

to have a few words with Dr. Kettering...

Unfortunately, Dr. Kettering

has had to leave suddenly...

owing to illness in his family.

He was here yesterday evening. I saw him.

Quite so. He left early this morning.

You were at the station

to watch the morning train?

Dr. Kettering was not on the morning train.

I'll have to risk your displeasure,

Doctor. We will search the premises.

Very well.

This is my laboratory, gentlemen.

Inspect the walls and flooring

for secret passageways.

Very good.

Mr. Ernst.

Will you guide us, Doctor?

I believe that leads to an old dungeon.

Why, certainly.

What's that room, Doctor?
