JONATHAN:
"The Diary of Jonathan Harker.
"May 3, 1885.
"At last my long journey
is drawing to its close.
"What the eventual end will be,
I cannot foresee.
"But whatever may happen,
I can rest secure...
"...that I will have done all in my power
to achieve success.
"The last lap of my journey
from the village of Klausenberg...
"...proved to be more difficult
than I had anticipated...
"...due to the reluctance on the part of
the coach driver to take me all the way.
"As there was no other transport
available...
"...I was forced
to travel the last few kilometers on foot...
"...before arriving at Castle Dracula.
"The castle appeared innocuous
in the warm sun, and all seemed normal...
"...but for one thing:
There were no birds singing.
"As I crossed the wooden bridge,
and entered the gateway...
"...it suddenly
seemed to become much colder...
"...due, no doubt, to the icy waters
of the mountain torrent...
"...I had just crossed.
"However, I deemed myself
lucky to have secured this post...
"...and did not intend
to falter in my purpose."

I'm sorry. I didn't hear you come in.
My name's Jonathan Harker.
I'm the new librarian.
You will help me, won't you?
Say you will, please!
- How can I help you?
- Get me away from here.
- But why?
- He is keeping me prisoner.
Who is? Count Dracula?
I'm afraid I don't understand.
Please. Please help me to escape!
[Ominous instrumental music]
Mr. Harker.
I am glad that you have arrived safely.
Count Dracula?
I am Dracula.
And I welcome you to my house.
I must apologize for not being here
to greet you personally...
...but I trust you've found
everything you needed.
Thank you, sir. It was most thoughtful.

Yes, it is a long journey.
And tiring, no doubt.
Permit me to show you to your room.
Thank you, sir.

my housekeeper is away at the moment.
- A family bereavement, you understand?
- Of course.
DRACULA:
However, everythinghas been prepared for your comfort.
JONATHAN:
When may I start?DRACULA:
When you wish. There area large number of volumes to be indexed.
- Is there anything else you need?
- I don't think so. You've been very kind.
On the contrary, it is entirely my privilege.
I am very fortunate to have found such
a distinguished scholar to work for me.
I like quiet and seclusion.
This house, I think, offers that.
Then we are both satisfied.
An admirable arrangement.
There is just one more thing, Mr. Harker.
I have to go out and will not be back
Until then,
please look upon this house as your own.
- Good night, Mr. Harker.
- Good night, sir.

"At last I have met Count Dracula.
"He accepts me as a man who has agreed...
