The Ghost of Frankenstein Page #6

---

An auxiliary operating room,

maintained at a very low temperature.

It's not in use now.

Will you lead us, Doctor?

It would seem that this room

has been recently occupied, Doctor.

You're familiar with my work.

I keep this room ready at all times

for the more violently insane.

- You can see that it is not occupied now.

- Yes.

My apologies, Doctor.

I warned you

that you might regret this action.

Are you mad?

Why did you let him get away?

Let him? You think I had any idea

what he was going to do?

Or that I could stop him?

The police have searched the place for him.

Then it's good that we were gone.

Frankenstein's been half insane.

He wants to operate tonight.

- The child complicates matters.

- Leave that to me.

He will have to be told.

Ygor will explain to him.

No, you do not understand.

It will kill her.

You wouldn't want to kill your little friend.

But Ygor has a better idea.

You will see.

You will have the brain

of your friend Ygor.

Tonight, my brain...

will be your brain.

Tonight, Ygor will die for you.

Help!

Elsa.

- Where are you going?

- I'm going out to find Erik.

- In this storm?

- Yes, Father. I can't...

Father, what does he want?

I'm going to operate

to give him a new brain.

He wants the brain of that child.

Take me home. Please, take me home.

Father. Surely you're not going to...

Take the child in there, quickly.

How did the patient react to the anaesthetic?

Surprisingly well, particularly the spinal.

I think I can safely say everything is ready.

Dr. Bohmer, our respective operations

must be timed with the utmost precision.

Any delay in the transfer will mean failure.

Exactly, sir.

- Shall I proceed?

- Yes.

I must warn you...

this operation may not be successful.

This may be the end of everything.

Better death...

than a life like this...

now that I have seen...

the promise of a life forever.

Kettering's brain.

What will he think

when he resumes life in that body?

Will he thank us

for giving him a new lease on life?

Or will he object to finding his ego

living in that human junk heap?

There's no sign

of returning consciousness yet, Doctor.

I anticipated this.

Let me know immediately

if there's a change in his condition.

Certainly, sir.

Dr. Bohmer, I can never

thank you sufficiently...

for your assistance and skill.

This may bring you the recognition

which has long been due to you.

That's very nice of you, sir.

None of us will be safe.

Who's he going to get next?

Fellow townsmen, it's two weeks

since my little daughter disappeared.

It's the common belief that she perished

when my house was burned down.

But a search was made of the ashes...

and no bones were found.
