Come here.

There's nothing
to be afraid of, hmm?

The honeymoon was yet too short.

[CHUCKLES]

Take off your shoes.

I wish I could stay, my love.

How should I have earned
such a doting wife?

[CAT MEOWS, PURRS]

Ellen.
[ELLEN CHUCKLES]

I told you not to let her

Everything I wear,

But Greta loves it here.

She wishes you to stay, too.

[MAN LAUGHING IN OTHER ROOM]

[KNOCKS] Pray,
pardon me, Herr Knock,

for my tardiness.

Your delay is providential,
my boy, providential.

Come in, come in.

Still preparing the account.

Uh, and I thank you, sir,
fur considering me.

When tidings of your recent
nuptials reached my ears,

I knew it was providence.

A new husband requires
new wages.

You're too generous, sir.

Allow me to extend my
congratulations to your wife.

Thank you, sir.

She truly is beautiful.

A... A nonpareil.

Almost a..

Sylph.

[LAUGHING]

Yes. Thank you, sir.

Uh, and I'm most eager
to proceed

with whatever your request,

that I might be fully engaged
with the firm.

Indeed, indeed.

Providence.

Now, I have been entertaining
dealings with a foreign count.

Very old line of nobility.

Very old and... Eccentric.

He wishes to acquire a home
here in our Wisburg.

Oh, yes?
To retire here.

He has one foot in the grave,
so to speak.

[LAUGHING]
[THOMAS CHUCKLES]

Uh, I should be pleased
to escort the gentleman

and recommend him
to our properties.

I have already selected
Grunewald Manor.

Forgive me, sir. but is
it not, well, uh, a ruin?

He requested an old home,

and he will pay most generously.

I shall meet him tomorrow,
then. Nine of the clock?

[CHUCKLING]
Here is the peculiarity.

He's too infirm to travel.

So you needs must
journey to him.

I see.

He lives in a small country
east of Bohemia,

isolated in the Carpathian Alps.

THOMAS: Oh.

It will be a great adventure,
my boy.

Indeed.

Uh, may not the count execute
the deed here when he arrives?

Oh, no, it is much too urgent.

He insists we offer him
an agent...

In the flesh.

And he will reward you
handsomely, my boy. handsomely

Secure this account,
and you will secure your

official position in the firm.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

I sham disappoint.

And what was the counts name?

Orlok.

[KNOCK CHUCKLING]

[RAIN PATTERING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYS]

THOMAS: And I shall
have to set off tomorrow,

as it is a six-week journey.

But Harding has
generously agreed

to keep you till my return.

Why have you killed
these beautiful flowers?

THOMAS: What?
Nothing.

What are you talking about?
Forgive me.

Uh, let us put them in water.

They will only die
in a few days.

Throw them out.
What?

Throw them out!

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

What are you.

You cannot leave.

[SIGHS] What is this?
I must tell you my dream.

Ellen, we have put
these difficulties behind us.

I must.
Please.

No more of
your childhood memories.

No.
The doctors advised never...

It was our wedding.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Yet not in chapel walls.

Above was
an impenetrable thundercloud

outstretched beyond the hills.

The scent of the lilacs
was strong in the rain, and...

When I reached the altar.

You weren't there.

Standing before me,
all in black,

was...

Death.

But I was so happy.

So very happy.

We exchanged vows, we embraced,

and when we turned around,

everyone was dead.

[CRYING]
Father and... Everyone.

The stench of their bodies
was horrible.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

And...

But I'd never been so happy

as that moment

[SOBBING]

as I held hands with Death.

[SOBBING]
[THUNDER CRASHES]

Never speak these things aloud.

Never.

It is a trifle, a foolish dream,

just as your past fancies.

Everything is well.

It portends
something awful for us.

Look. when I return,

I will finally
make something of myself.

I shall buy us a fine house of
our own with a maidservant...

We needn’t any of that.

I wish you to have
all you deserve.

You mustn't leave.
I love you too much.

[HOOFBEATS CLOPPING]

[LAUGHING]
Pray, stop.

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHING] Never since
our school days, Tam.

From my grandfather, the
best. Uh, uh, no, I oughtn't.

Uh, ifs worth celebrating
your adventure.

[CHUCKLES] Thank you.

Mmm.

- I envy you.
- Mmm.

- I—I envy you.
- Mmm.

You've truly taken
your father's place now.

It's incredible.

The bloody responsibility, it's
crushing, Thomas, crushing.

Of course,
it's unseemly to complain

with all the earnings,
but the demands of the market

grow faster than
the damned shipyard.

And my two girls...
Two, Tom.

I... I love them
more than the world.

And... [SIGHS]
Speak none of this to Ellen

or my Anna, but we have
another on the way.

Mmm—hmm.
[CHUCKLES] Congratulations.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Hey, you always were
a rutting goat.

[FRIEDRICH BRAYING]
[LAUGHING]

Mmm.
I cannot resist her.

And when will you two newlyweds?

When I'm no longer a pauper.

Uh, Friedrich, when I have,
I mean to say.

I shall finally
be able to return

the moneys you loaned me.
[SCOFFS] Not another word.

Uh, and, Friedrich?
Hmm?

Do take care of Ellen.

She nearly begged me
to remain here.

And toss aside
your fine opportunity?

THOMAS: I fear her past, uh,
melancholy returning.

FRIEDRICH: Naturally.
Her dashing young husband's

leaving her bedside cold.
[LAUGHS]

ANNA: My sweet ones,
ifs time now for bed.

[FRIEDRICH CLEARS THROAT]

FRIEDRICH:

Come on. All right.
FRIEDRICH: Come.

We can't! There is
a monster in the room!

[WHIMPERING]
Papa! Papa!

Don't let her feed me
to the monster.

Stab him!

Pardon us,
but I am to hunt a monster.

You're a perfect child yourself.

FRIEDRICH:
Up we go. Come.

FRIEDRICH: I will stay with

No, you misunderstand me,

It has fallen hard on me

He was tossed out

His evil cannot enter

I promised I'd join the firm.

I came here to sell the count

No! He seeks after Ellen.

My dear young Sievers.

Or do my dying eyes deceive me?

I should've known.

Embrace me, my boy.

I am so rejoiced to see you.
[SIEVERS CHUCKLING]

I sensed something.

It brought me to Wisburg
all these years ago.

I felt it was now
imminently approaching.

I thought it ill,
but it must have been you.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Now, what is the matter?

Ah, I see, yes.

A dear friend of yours
has some rare ailment.

Perhaps a house guest, yes?

A young woman exhibiting

protracted fits of somnambulism.

It's all I could do to keep her

Untie her.

You are the doctor
our Sievers spoke of?

Drugged?

I have been administering
an opiate.

She must rest by day, for
her body is in utter stress

all the night.
She cannot be clouded.

Step away. Step away.

My dear creature, yes,
I am he, and I am

hither come to help you.
[CAT MEOWS]

Is she yours?

Greta?

She has no master nor mistress.

Quite so.

I entreat you to excuse me,

but I should like to begin
my consultation presently.

You see, I have a curiosity
about you.

Dr-Sievers tells me
that you have had these spells

since childhood.

Would you describe them
to me, please?

I cannot always remember them.

As if my spirit wanders off.

Tell me what you can,
from the beginning.

Sometimes It was...
It is like a dream.

- Hmm.
- And I know things.

I always knew the contents
of my Christmas gifts.

I knew when
that my mother would pass.

Father, he would find me
in our fields within the forest

as if I was
his little changeling girl.

I see.

But as I became older,
it worsened.

I frightened him.

My touch.

I was so very alone, you see,
and I wished for comfort.

Then a presence
and the nightmares,

the epilepsies, I...

Pray, continue.

At last,
Papa found me once laying.

Unclothed, I was.

My body, my...

my flesh, I...

"Sin."

"Sin," he said.

He would have sent me to
that place. I... I shan't go.

No, no.

It all ended
when I first met my Thomas.

From our love,
I became as normal.

Yet these visions
and night wanderings

have returned to you?

I fear for him so.

Professor.

My dreams grow darker.

Does evil came from within us
or from beyond?

[CLOCK TICKING]

VON FRANZ:
Her trance state is begun.

You have bled her

SEVERS:
Of course.

VON FRANZ: And her

VON FRANZ: Too much
blood. Too much blood.

A taper, please.

[WHEEZING CONTINUES]

Her pupil is expanded.

It does not contract naturally
to light.

SIEVERS: Impossible.
VON FRANZ: A second sight.

She is no longer here.

My bag.

Forgive
the grotesque Tediousness

of this demonstration.

The needle.

However, I must impress upon you

that this child is not with us.

[ANNA GASPS]
Professor, I do protest.

Restrain your protestation.
For she feels nothing.

She communes new

Tend to the wound, Sievers.

Now...

Do you hear me, my child?
[ELLEN MOANS]

And what then do you see?

I charge you,
speak now what you see.

Enduring night.

A specter of death.

He... He spreads his shadow,

and he... He...
He is coming.

Who? Who is coming to you,
my child?

Who, damn you? Speak!
[GRUNTING RAPIDLY]

[ELLEN GASPING]

I will not harm her!

[ELLEN RASPING]
I command you,

hearken to my voice.

By the protection of Chamuel,
Haniel and Zadkiel,

impart your speech unto me.

- [GAGGING]
- VON FRANZ: In the name of Eligos,

Orabas and Asmoday,

impart your speech unto me.

[INHALES DEE PLY]

[IN DEMONIC VOICE] I shall
persist to join you every night.

First in sleep,
then in your arms.

Everything will be mixed

with abomination, and
you'll be knee-deep in blood.

Everyone will cry.

There will be none
to bury the dead.

- [IN NORMAL VOICE] You are promised to me!
- VON FRANZ: Promised?

She means her husband!
VON FRANZ: Promised?

ELLEN: Help me! Help me!

[THUNDER RUMBLING SOFTLY]

As I feared.

Well?

"Well" what, my boy?
Cannot you see?

See what?

See that she is cursed.

- Cursed?
- Yes, cursed.

This dear young creature
is possessed of some spirit.

Perhaps a demon.

I beg your pardon.

SIEVERS:
I assure you, Harding,

the professor means this
as hyperbole.

- No, I mean a demon.
- You jest.

But what of your own discoveries

of macabre
hallucination pathologies?

This is not one.

You cannot conceivably
have perceived all of this.

How should this happen to Ellen?

Demonic spirits
more easily obsess those

whose lower animal
functions dominate.

Demons like them.
They seek them out.

How mean you?

They can discover their
victims from across mountains,

great oceans.

Those with lower
animal functions?

Yes. Hysterics,
children, lunatics.

Eh, which reminds me, Sievers,

you must introduce me
to your madman tomorrow.

Yes, of course, but I...

Somnambulists afflicted
with these perversions

oft possess a gift:
a second sight

into the borderland.

I do not wish to
dispute you, Professor,

but I myself have witnessed
women of nervous constitutions

invent all manner of delusion.

VON FRANZ:
This is no delusion.

I believe she has always
been highly conductive

to these cosmic forces,
uniquely so.

Your lunatic, perhaps.

Do you then acknowledge a
connection between these cases?

That is the question.

Oh, this is just capital.

I tell you, it is the manner of
her husband's disappearance.

No. This evil...

What it is.
How it has been summoned,

unleashed, I know not.

But this remarkable child
it has chained itself to

is in grave peril.

I must to my studies.

Frau Harding.

Sit with her.
Observe her.

Report her behavior.

Sievers, no more ether.

But she will rave all the night.

Then rave she must.

There is a dread storm rising.

his body is

do not rise from the grave,

A plague ravaged
the countryside.

a walking corpse

that maintained some
semblance of life...

by feeding on the
heart blood of the living.

Every victim succumbed to death.

it can manifest physically

and with the most foul intent.

And what, pray, is that'!

Like every plague,
its sole desire

ism consume all life on Earth.

This creature is a force
more powerful than evil.

It is Death itself.

I have not slept in days.

My house has become a bedlam,

and here I've been resummoned

to this godforsaken
habitation for this?

Do not tell me you believe
in such medieval devilry!

VON FRANZ: I do not believe.
I know!

I have seen things in this world

that would've made

We have not become

as we have been blinded by

I have wrestled with the devil

as Jacob wrestled the angel

Your husband has signed his name

- Lies.
- For gold,

he did absolve his nuptial bond.

You know nothing of him.

And the resignation
must be completed by you

You are a deceiver.

You deceive yourself.

I was but an innocent child.

And thought you

You don't know?

Correct.

I do not know.

I have never encountered

He doesn't know.

All your fine lectures
are mere regurgitations

The means of repelling

vary greatly

Their efficacy
is plainly unknown.

Yet there is one invariable fact

- that interests me most.
- Go on.

the Nosferatu must return

by first crow of cock.

It must sleep

What happens if it does not?

are of him every night.

Ellen.
Don't touch me!

I am not to be touched.

You stopped your letters to me.

What?

You promised to
write to me every day.

Did not you think of me
in that castle?

I did. I...
Lies.

After what you have
just confessed, how...

ELLEN: He told me about you.

He told me how foolish you were.

How fearful.

How like a child.

How you fell into his arms

as a swooning lily of a woman.

Ellen.

He told me how you sold me
to him for gold.

Our love was
supposed to be sacred'.

Ellen, please.
You never listen!

Well. where is it?

Your money? Your
promotion? Your house?

Where is that which is
so precious to you?

Have you paid back
kind Harding your debt?

Have you repaid him with
this plague that infects his wife?

I left for us, fer our future.

For what? For what?
For these things!

For you!
It doesn't matter!

It doesn't matt...

Can't you see?

We should never have married.

We're already dead!

No.

He shall never harm you again.

"And lo. the maiden fair

We must speak with him.

THOMAS: Just a moment longer.

His grief is too great.

May I?

More will be taken.

- She was with child.
- I know.

The grim reaper wields
his heavy scythe

with every change of wind.

Professor,
I must speak with you.

And I would speak with you.

Take that blackguard
from this place!

- Your diseased mind...
- SIEVERS: Please. Please.

Has brought all of this outrage!

SIEVERS: Stop this.Stop. phase.
It is my fault.

This moment doesn't
concern you, Thomas.

Your very presence... Your
horror has rent our hearts,

but you must hear us.
Does me wrong!

Friedrich,
these nightmares do exist!

They exist.

And yet he shows no sign
of the blood plague.

The good sisters sought
to nurse me

back to health
with their prayer,

yet I fear I'm not free
of his spell.

Trust in God and your strength.

The monster left you to the
wolves. yet you prevailed.

Harding.

Forgive me.
I'm not myself.

Please forgive me, all of you.

My reason could not accept
accept...

Strength, man.
Strength.

Orlok has kept his coffin
within Grunewald Manor?

Assuredly.
Under our very noses.

Tonight, we destroy the beast.

Let me come with you.
No, of course not, Ellen.

You must be kept safe away.

We shall meet at Harding's
and depart for the manor.

Please.
The readiness is all.

We shall sanctify the
earth wherein he is buried

and destroy the sarcophagus.

Then he can have
no sanctuary at cock crow.

SIEVERS: And when we
uncover the body?

I will drive a spike of
cold iron through him.

- What If it does not work?
- It must.

Professor, allow me
to walk you to your door.

I know...
it must be me, Professor.

Lam but an able tourist
in this occult world.

You were born to it.

It is a rare gift.

His pull to me is so powerful,

so terrible.

Ye! my spirit cannot
be evil as his.

We must know evil
to be able to destroy it.

We must discover it
within ourselves.

And when we have, we
must crucify the evil within us,

or there is no salvation.

I need no salvation.

My entire life, I have done
no ill but heed my nature.

Then hearken to it.

I fear Nosferatu is impervious
to any of our iron stakes.

I'm convinced only you

have the faculty to redeem us.

THOMAS: Ellen,
let us make haste.

In heathen times,

you might have been
a great priestess of Isis.

Yet, in this strange
and modern world,

your purpose is
of greater worth.

You are our salvation.

Thank you.

I will keep your husband
at bay tonight.

Go now. Go home.

Attend him Thai he is
sturdy for this false hunt.

I place my utter faith in you.

I love you.

Fear not.

[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]

He is not here?

HARTMANN: No, Mr. Harding
has departed, sir.

THOMAS: Where could he
have gone?

He has a heavy grief.

We shall wait for him.

I cannot bear any more.

Please, we must onward.

SIEVERS: But Orlok. Will
he not already have risen?

Should we not return to our homes?

No, I will not wait
till morning.

VON FRANZ: Very wise, young Thomas.

[SIGHS] I feel his hold
upon me this night.

SIEVERS: May God have mercy
on their souls.

VON FRANZ: “In the Name of Jehovah,

"and by the power and dignity
of these three Names,

"Tetragrammaton,
Anexhexeton, Primematum,

"cast thee, O thou disobedient
Spirit Nosferatu,

"into the Lake of Fire,

VON FRANZ: We must burn it.

We must destroy

No sanctuary.

No, there is no time to be lost.

- He pursues Ellen.
- VON FRANZ: It must be her!

He cannot resist her blood!

SIEVERS: You are a madman.

You knew Orlok
would not be here.

You knew it this afternoon.

Your wife wills it.

This is not moral!

God is beyond our morals!
[LAUGHS]

In vain! In vain!
You run in vain!

You cannot outrun her destiny!

Her dark bond with the beast
shall redeem us all,

redemption!
