(WOLF HOWLING)

(ALLISON SINGING POP SONG)

(SINGING)

Those of us
who challenge our intruder

must guard
our lives this night.

Who's there?

FRANK: Dracula's grave.

JOE: You'll never get in here.

It's probably been sealed
for a thousand years.

NARRATOR: Tonight, The Hardy Boys
and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula, Part II.

CARETAKER: If I were you,
I would not go inside.

FENTON: You're not gonna
tell me those old legends

about the living dead
and Dracula's castle.

FRANK: Joe, he's been
missing for two weeks.

We've got to follow up
every lead no matter how thin.

JOE: You'll forgive me if I
pray this one doesn't work out.

DOCTOR: He was washed up
from the river.

Identification
maybe difficult.

That's not our father.

Inspector Stavlin,
Romanian Police.

Your father was working with Interpol
on a case of international importance.

A series of spectacular
thefts of paintings

which emptied
the museums in Europe.

I believe your father was on
the threshold of a breakthrough

when nothing more
was heard from him.

But we've got
a big one on the 12th.

It's the Dracula Festival, you
know, at the Count's very own castle.

Place called Poenari
in Transylvania.

Allison Troy's headlining it. Should
be a gas, actually. Are you going?

We'll get our stuff
and come right back.

Okay then, we'll
be waiting for you.

The Dracula Festival, that
was the last entry in Dad's book.

Sounds like all roads
lead to Transylvania.

Nancy Drew.

Well, I'm sorry about
this misunderstanding.

This isn't the way
it was supposed to be.

Where's your father?
Why did he send you?

He didn't send us.

He mysteriously fell out of phone
contact with us over a week ago.

Well, do you think
something's happened to him?

Well, we hope not. But
the fact is he isn't here.

JOE: We'd like to know
what you know about this case.

These dates all correspond with
Allison Troy's rock concert appearances.

Why would he want to be
involved with stolen paintings?

Your father discovered
that each of the robberies

took place during
one of Allison's concerts.

(SINGING POP SONG)

I do not want them there.

Allison Troy has leased
the castle for one week.

Travesty, travesty.

What is it?

Is it fear of
whom you might offend?

Or what?

Our friend the Mayor, of course, is
referring to the Prince of Wallachia,

Vlad Tepee,
known as the Berserker.

The Impaler.

Count Dracula.

(BAND PLAYING POP MUSIC)

(LAUGHING)

This is where we part company. Keep
them entertained. Where are you going?

To learn what we came here to
find out. What happened to Dad.

I warned you, all of you.

Nancy, why don't we just
come back in the morning?

Because life might be
hanging in the balance.

(SCREAMS)

(WOLF HOWLING)

(BAND PLAYING POP MUSIC)

What's he doing
to him?

Take it easy.

What are you doing?

Hurry, upstairs.
Get a doctor. Fast!

But...
Go! Now!

If it were open, don't you think I
would've gone for help myself?

The question is, how did you
get locked in here in the first place?

You're quite
a little locksmith.

Is he...
No, he's alive.

But his pulse is weak
and he's in shock.

How did you get
into this fix?

I jumped in here to help him.

I don't know
how he got in here.

Who is he?

He's a member of the town
council. Berger, the innkeeper.

There's been a lot of flak over
Allison Troy taking over the castle.

Oh, terrific. Is this their
idea of a citizens' revolt?

Frank, his neck.
What in the world?

(BAND PLAYING POP MUSIC)

(SINGING POP SONG)

Good heavens! What
happened? Is he all right?

No, I think he'll be all right if we
can get him down the hill quickly.

Who found him?
What happened?

Did he fall?

No, he didn't fall.

We'll talk about this later.

Please, may I have
some help here, please?

I must have some help.
We must carry him out.

(STAMMERING) Will you just
call the ambulance?

Right away, Inspector.
Please.

Make way here. Make way.

I think it's about time
we started working together.

I think so, too.

(SINGING POP SONG)

(AMBULANCE SIREN WAILING)

Why would anybody
do that to Berger?

It's bizarre.

(SIGHS)

You don't think it has anything to
do with Dad's disappearance, do you?

I don't know, Joe.

Dad was here,
he's not here now.

The time has come for us to ask
some pretty unpleasant questions.

They've taken Berger
to the hospital.

Bess has gone to
follow up on the report.

You were supposed
to wait in Munich.

We've agreed
to work together.

We have?

Frank, she could have tipped everybody
off about us. Maybe she already has.

No, I didn't. But I did come
here to find you two tonight.

You did? I've got some
news about your father.

What?
What?

I don't know how good it is,
but I think we've found him.

NANCY: The village
is named Arefu.

Some monks found him
about four days ago.

The only identification on
him was the name Fredricks.

That explains why Interpol's
search of hospitals, morgues,

and jails didn't
turn up anything.

How did you find him?

After I saw the hotel register
and the name Fredricks,

I started checking
under his alias.

The monk said that
he was still unconscious,

but that he was
in very stable condition.

It's not the worst
report in the world.

After four days,
it's not the best, either.

(MONKS CHANTING)

NANCY: Maybe you two would feel
better if you went in by yourselves.

Yeah,
if you don't mind.

Frank.

Dad,

we're here.

Everything's gonna be
all right now.

How long
has he been like this?

Since we brought him here
four days ago.

The doctor felt it best
not to move him.

Of course we reported it
to the authorities.

Is he gonna die?
No.

He's as tough
as they come.

His condition
has not worsened.

The doctor will be here
shortly to see him again.

Well, we've got
to let him rest.

What does he need?

Does he need to be
flown out of here?

Does he need some sort of
special treatment in Vienna or Paris?

Mr. Fredricks, the doctor is
doing everything that can be done.

We'll be saying
a prayer for you, Dad.

I love you very much.

I need you.

(SNIFFLING)

Frank needs you.

(SOBBING)

He did regain
consciousness once.

Did he say anything?

One word. Caverns.

I didn't understand it.

Well, we found Dad.

He's gonna be
all right. Right?

Sure.

We'll talk to you tomorrow.

Peace be with you,
my children.

While you were in there,
that monk said that

he had the same marks on his
neck, Joe. Under the bandages.

What?
It's true.

Dad's been a policeman all
his life. He knows the risks.

We just have to follow through
for him until he's feeling better.

We're gonna
get them, Frank.

Whoever did that to Dad is
gonna wish they were dead.

Half the town thinks the attacker
has been dead for 500 years.

You don't believe that.

Of course not.

Good night.

Where to now?

Back to the caverns.

Right.

(WOLF HOWLING)

(RATS SQUEALING)

You think this is what
dad meant by "caverns"?

Yeah.

The answer lies somewhere here,
somewhere beneath this castle.

(BAT SQUEAKING)

FRANK: I still lean
towards Allison Troy.

He's the key to this. He's the
one that Dad was keeping track of.

Shouldn't be too hard
to check up on.

Why all the Dracula stuff?
Isn't that a little far out?

I'd say Allison Troy
is very far out.

JOE: Maybe we better
come back tomorrow.

FRANK: It might not be a bad
idea to get a good night's sleep.

NANCY: Superstitions.

I bet the people in this town believe
you can't see a vampire in a mirror.

Some nut's on the loose and this guy's
hanging Christmas wreaths around town.

Those are wreaths
of garlic.

According to ancient lore,

they help to
ward off vampires.

Terrific.

Well, what's our next move?

I'd find those paintings at a time
when everyone else in town is busy.

Tonight at the concert.
Right.

You know, I don't think
the Inspector's search

is gonna turn up anything
during the daytime.

(ALLISON SINGING POP SONG)

(SINGING)

Hi, excuse us.
We're in a real hurry.

We gotta get back to the
concert and we're locked out here.

Is there any way you could
open the door for us?

Gee, thanks a lot.

Not bad.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

(ALLISON SINGING POP SONG)

What's this, Frank?

You can break into Fort
Knox with a kit like this.

Yeah, it's the real thing.

This proves that Dad
was on the right track.

Now we have something to
give Stavlin that he can act on.

Yeah.

Do you always get like this
when you're excited?

When I get excited,
you'll know about it.

I look forward to that.

Do we take this?
No, we leave it.

Now, let's go find Stavlin.

(SINGING POP SONG)

(CROWD CLAMORING)

Please, listen to me!

You are all over-reacting.

Councilman Berger was the
victim of some kind of wild animal.

Who lived about 500 years ago.

A fiend who walks among us,

punishing us for the
desecration of his resting place.

The only thing
that will placate him

is the destruction
of the desecration.

This rock festival!

I say we burn the castle.

(ALL AGREEING)

There will be no vandalism
or fire marches

while I am the Inspector
in this community.

When do you retire?

Not until every one of you
is safe, that is a promise.

But I make you
another promise.

If any citizen of Poenari
breaks the law,

terrorizes or abuses
one single guest in this town,

he will be ruthlessly
hunted down and dealt with.

What about the killings?

There have been no killings,

only unfortunate accidents.

We are not living
in the Middle Ages.

There is no vampire
to destroy.

Go back to your homes.

(ALL MUTTERING)

Go back to your homes.

(ALL MUTTERING)

Now there's a man
who's in control.

The only man in this town with
authority that makes any sense.

He's being forced to retire
because of his age.

You have always been
too sensitive.

Maybe it made you
a good policeman,

but a little naive as far
as politics are concerned.

Well, who knows?

With your record, you might have
become superintendent of all of Wallachia,

had you only learned the
necessity of moving with the tide.

You are right.

I could never accept my fate rising
or falling on someone else's whim.

Uh-huh.

Inspector, we need to
talk to you. It's important.

I'm having a word
with the Mayor.

If it is that important,
there is time for both.

Come with me, please.

This'd be the place to come
to to get away from Dracula,

if there were a Dracula.

What was this building?

It must have been something
before it was a private residence.

Yes. It was part
of an old jail.

Or do you think the citizens
were so dissatisfied with me

that I had to install bars to
keep them from attacking me?

There you are.

Oh, this smells delicious.

You won't find any cider
anywhere else in the world like this.

Nowhere else.

Actually, tonight is the first
time that I have found myself

on the other side
of public opinion.

I can't understand all this
hysteria we are seeing.

Can you imagine this foolish
superstition in our day and age?

The attacks within the last
few days on two strong men

capable of defending
themselves is not superstition.

Whoever or whatever is responsible
could not possibly enter this room.

Do you have a reason for suggesting
the Mayor might be the next victim?

A great deal of
what has happened

parallels history or legend.

It's difficult
to separate them.

We have only the stories
passed down for generations.

The mayor and town council who
plotted the destruction of Dracula

were always favorite victims.

My father has nothing to do
with the town or its leadership.

But your father had the misfortune to
wander into Dracula's sacred chambers

just after they'd been
ordered disturbed

by the Mayor agreeing
to this rock concert.

My orders said nothing about
disturbing Dracula's sacred chambers.

(SNICKERS)

"Sacred chambers." Now
you've got me talking like the town.

There is nothing under that castle
except caves and collapsing tunnels.

Did you find anything there
during your search?

No.

Nor did I expect to.

I happen to believe that we are
dealing with someone quite mortal.

NANCY: That's why we came
to see you, Inspector.

We think we may have found
a piece of the puzzle.

We found a set of burglary
tools in Allison Troy's room.

Burglary tools?

You did not disturb them?

No, we left them
where we found them.

Very good, very good.

I will check them out
in the morning.

But wait. You left
one word out, Frank.

What's that?
Conveniently.

We conveniently found a set of
burglary tools in Allison's room.

It almost seemed as though
we were supposed to find them.

Well, who knows what plans they
may have for one last robbery, huh?

We will watch them.

Meanwhile, thank you
for what you've accomplished.

I will take over from here.

And thank you. The cider,
as always, most delicious.

But heed my warning.

Those of us
who challenge our intruder

must guard
our lives this night.

The first two victims
were fortunate.

They survived.

The next may not be as lucky.

(SNICKERING)

(LAUGHS)

He's a regular comedian,
don't you agree?

Thank you.

No, I don't. It doesn't matter
who we're dealing with.

Whether it's Dracula or a
psychopath, he's dangerous.

You're lucky to live in
such a fortress, Mr. Mayor.

MAYOR: Well, all of you are
beginning to make a believer out of me.

Perhaps, for one night,
the sofa.

I would believe
for one night.

Tomorrow we might find out
some of the answers.

Al right.

Thank you
for the cider.

You're most welcome. I'll
show you out. Good night.

Take care.

Good night. Don't
forget to lock up.

Yes, yes.

(CHUCKLES)

Are you going back
to the concert tonight?

No, there's nothing more
we can do there.

Joe will keep us informed if there's
something we should know about.

I hope he's all right.

Joe? It'd take more than
Dracula to get in his way.

You mean, if there is a
Dracula. Which there isn't.

Right. Which there isn't.

(SINGING POP SONG)

Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.

You've been
a wonderful audience.

You're a beautiful, ugly
audience. Thank you very much.

I hope that our TV cameras
have captured just half

of this wonderful,
charming audience,

and half of this wonderful, charming
audience should be captured.

(LAUGHS)

I'm so amusing,
I can't bear it sometimes.

Anyway, we'll see you
again sometime.

To all of you in TV land from
all of us here in Transylvania,

the heart of the monster belt,
we wish you a good night

and bad dreams.

(BAND PLAYING OMINOUS MUSIC)

(WOLF HOWLING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(ALL CHATTERING)

WOMAN: Take care.

MAN: You change
your mind now, Joe,

you let me know right
away. I'll think about it.

Al right.

(WINDOWS RATTLING)

Who's there?

(SCREAMS)

What was that?

(NANCY SCREAMS)

That was Nancy.

(BANGING ON DOOR)
JOE: Nancy!

Nance.
Open the door!

Nancy? Nancy, open the door!

(SCREAMS)

Oh, Frank, it was awful.
I know.

It really was a vampire bat.

It had teeth. It was
coming at me. I know.

Did you see it?
Yes.

Nancy, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

I'm just gonna get changed.

The window was locked
from the inside.

Somebody must have put
that bat into her room.

Of course,
you realize the alternative.

Doesn't bear thinking about.

Maybe we should start
thinking about it.

FRANK:
We better call the Mayor.

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

NANCY: Why would anyone
want to do that to me?

To frighten you.

To keep alive Dracula's myth.

If it is a myth.

Miss Drew,

I would like to know
what happened.

A bat was in my room.

I don't know
how it got in there.

My window was locked
from the inside.

A bat?

A vampire bat. It
attacked me. It tried to...

MAID: Inspector!

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

The Mayor.

I knocked on his study door,
but he does not answer.

Something has happened
to him, I know it.

Something terrible.

You tried the door?

Ja, but it's bolted
from the inside.

Of course, of course.

Well, if it is bolted from the inside,
then nothing could have happened to him.

Then why doesn't he answer?

MAN: What's wrong
with the Mayor?

All right, let's look.

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

Mr. Mayor?

Haufman? Can you
hear me? It's me, Stavlin.

Open the door!

You see? I told you.

Haufman!

Open the door!

Maybe we can try
breaking it.

It's a very heavy door. Maybe
all together. One, two, three.

(GRUNTING)

Once more.
One, two, three.

Once more.
Three!

(MAID SPEAKING GERMAN)

Get her out of here.
She must not see this.

Why don't you wait
outside with the others?

Frank.

I'm not sure
you want to see this.

He's alive.

I'll call an ambulance.

Please touch nothing.
Nothing at all.

Wait a minute.

It took all of our combined
strength to smash through the door.

It was bolted
from the inside.

Even the windows are
bolted closed.

And there are bars
on the windows.

How could anyone
get into a room like this?

Anyone or anything.

Except maybe a vampire
turned into a bat.

They couldn't.
Not the chimney.

Nothing can get
through a fire like that.

OFFICER: Mr. Troy,
you're under arrest.

When my lawyers
are finished with you,

you'll think Dracula
was a nice guy.

You've done
a splendid job, Inspector.

I'm really sorry we didn't
listen to you in the beginning.

What is it they say about a
prophet in his own back yard, huh?

Very true.

Well, let's get on with it.

Hey, wait a minute. You're
arresting Allison Troy?

That's crazy.

Maybe the Inspector knows
more than we do.

You yourself led us
to the burglary tools

and the rest fell into place.

What do you mean
by "the rest"?

We found the floor plan
to the Louvre Museum in Paris

in the trunk of
Mr. Troy's Rolls Royce.

Then they must have
been planted there.

What do you mean?

Last night,
during the concert,

I checked Allison's car
personally. The band's, too.

Maybe I shouldn't
have done it,

but you guys were checking the hotel room,
so I thought we should cover all the bases.

At any rate,
there were no plans.

If it wasn't there
last night,

then it shouldn't have
been there this morning,

unless it was planted.

Like the burglary tools.

I kept an eye on Allison and the
manager all night. They never left here.

You better listen
to them, General,

otherwise I'll turn this town
into a hole in the map.

Dummy. "Put your money
in trampoline centers.

"Do a TV special
in Transylvania."

Well, what's it going to be,
big shot?

Are you ready to admit
you're wrong?

(MIMICS SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Inspector,

if there's
the slightest chance...

I mean, we couldn't afford
litigation of this sort.

Inspector, there's got to be a
connection between the robberies

and the assaults on Mr. Berger,
my father, and the Mayor,

especially in light of
the planted evidence.

I agree. I agree.

There's no way in the world anyone could
have gotten into that room last night.

What is it, Hans?

(SIGHS)

My friend, you realize
there's only one alternative.

Only that some
supernatural force...

No supernatural force.

Only a diabolical mind.

Whose? What is it? Say it.

If no one could
get into that room

to incapacitate the Mayor...

Right.
Yes.

...then there can be
only one explanation.

I'm not sure I like your tone.

I could have been killed.

I wonder, is it coincidence

that each victim
so far has been found

just in time
to save his life?

Or is it that you yourself
would go no further?

Jensen?

Kolbe?

What is he saying?

Is he accusing me?

I will repeat my first
question, Mr. Mayor.

How did you get that
minor little wound in the neck

when you were in a room
locked from the inside

with no possible way for
anyone else to get in or out?

What did he say? Did
he have an explanation?

What explanation
could he have?

Only one person could have
inflicted that wound on the Mayor,

the Mayor himself.

He is under technical arrest.

But why? Why would he do it?

It seems the Mayor had
political aspirations

beyond our
tired little village.

Hans,

we will need someone the town
can stand behind to fill his shoes.

Yes, we will.
Hans.

Will you consider it?

I?

(CHUCKLES)

I have no political ambitions.

Precisely why you are
the only logical choice.

You, who have never sought
the office,

are the only one to fill it
without it appearing...

Kolbe.

I will do as
the Council wishes.

Good.

Come, Jensen.

Well.

Well.

Dynamite dialogue.
I wish I had a pen.

I'd jot it down to use it
when I'm old enough to date.

When you're old enough.

From what I hear, your evenings
make Dracula look like a day person.

Well, I've been known
to stay up to 11:00.

Before you scare
the girl to death,

maybe we should
say our goodbyes.

You really have
been a big help.

Well.

Well.

They're doing it again.

Look, Bess, I know I'm not
quite as glib as old Frank,

but I do know
how to say good night.

Well.
Well.

What are we doing back here?

Joe, Dad would want us
to follow through.

The case means a lot to him,
and he's not out of the woods yet.

And neither are we.

What're you talking about?
The case is closed.

Is it?

Now, Frank, I...

Frank, this isn't
such a good...

(WOLF HOWLING)

Come on, Joe.

Uh, Frank, I...

Come on!

What, do you wanna
turn back? Can I?

No.

Funny.

There is nothing funny.

Torches were lit when I
was in here the other night.

Meaning Berger got in on a
night when guests were welcome.

Let's go.

Joe.

Joe?
Yeah.

What? What is it?

There was something that
caught my eye the other night.

Yeah, the guy lying
on the cell floor.

No, not that.
Something else.

I want to re-examine. I forgot about
it when everything got out of hand.

Joe, this is it.
This is what?

Dracula's grave.

It's been
a slice of life, Frank.

Look, you can go if you want, but I'm going
to stay and get to the bottom of this.

I can't leave you here alone.

Then stay with me.
I can't do that, either.

You'll never get
in here.

It's probably been sealed
for a thousand years. Come on.

Frank?

Frank? Frank?

Frank, where are you?

I'm in here.

Do you see what I see?

Where are we?

Transylvania. 700 AD.

Looks like some kind of
time warp in here.

Yeah, someone's warped.

Look at these paintings.

These are
the museum robberies.

Every last one of them.

Let's get out of here.

Not until we've finished
looking around.

Joe.

Don't. Frank, don't do it.

I just want to see
what's inside.

You should not
have come here.

This old castle is dangerous.

We had to.

The case wasn't closed.

I thought it was.

Pity you had to make
this amazing discovery.

You see, there had to be a
connection between the two cases.

Otherwise there would have been no
reason to get our father out of the way.

And now you've
found the connection?

Yes. You.

You were being
forced to retire.

FRANK: It's kind of a thankless
finish after a career like yours.

And you were expert enough
to pull off these art thefts,

pick up a little retirement
fund for yourself in the process.

This is your private castle,
your retreat.

A place where you could go
to play out the role of Dracula,

until they started to
take over the castle

for the festival
and our father arrived.

And you had to get him off your
trail with some sort of explanation.

Short of murder,
but close enough.

Amusing, but of course
impossible to prove.

I could not have
attacked the Mayor.

He was in a locked room
sealed tight from the inside.

Yes, he was.

You yourselves helped me
break down the door.

Inspector, remember,
when we broke down the door

it was you who ran
to the Mayor first.

You blocked our view
from your victim

when you directed us to keep the
housekeeper from seeing what was going on.

That's when you inflicted
the wounds on the Mayor.

Who very conveniently
was a willful participant.

He was unconscious,

drugged by the hot cider that he
had prepared, but that you drugged.

And that's when you called the
Mayor's house asking for him,

knowing that the housekeeper

would become alarmed
and call for help.

Which basically means
you're a nice guy

and really don't want
to hurt anybody.

So we'll mention that
when we get out.

It was not necessary
to hurt anyone before.

You realize, of course,
that this was your doing.

Not mine.

Stop!

I got him.
Pull him up.

Don't let him go.

JOE: He's slipping.

Joe, hold on.

Help. Help me. Help.

I got him.

Stavlin!

Dad.

Take him away.

Son.

Oh, Dad.

(WOLF HOWLING)

Nancy, you were right.
I wish I'd been wrong.

You must've come up with
the same probabilities we did.

It's all over, and we have
you people to thank for it.

Stavlin, I'm sorry
it turned out the way it did.

You seemed to me to be one of the most
confident men I'd ever met in police work.

Perhaps we shall meet again.

Not where you are going,
Stavlin.

You'd have to be a bat
to get out of there.

Stranger things have happened.

May I?

FRANK: Well, one good thing.

At least your village gets to rest
peacefully for next thousand years,

seeing as there are
no vampires.

STAVLIN: There never were.

NANCY: I must say you guys
make a great team.

Maybe back in the States we
could all get together some time.

FRANK: Well.
NANCY: Well.

Frank.

Frank.

Frank.

Frank.

Excuse me.

Joe, we're talking.
What is it?

(STAMMERS)

I'll show you the way out.

Come on, boys,
let get out of here.

Frank, I think we should have
a little chat about vampires.
