Hmm...

Finally.

I am so happy for you two.

Let's begin.

What is love?

Our poets have struggled for centuries.

As have our writers, our artists,

our theologians.

But our scientists wondered

if it was just an equation to be solved.

And it turns out that true love

begins and ends with the heart.

It is this connection that binds.

Here stands a man before me

who was robbed of love in his first life.

Who else to fill this role than the woman

who took her own when her true love,

this man, was robbed from her.

Now finally reunited for marriage today.

So these two once lifeless vessels

now standing before me full of life,

once again.

In hopes to go forth as the beloved

ushers of a brand new...

A more blasphemous act I've never laid my eyes upon.

John Clerval.

You and your brood have travelled quite some distance

for an event you were not invited.

So you recognize me?

You have the unmistakable impression of your cousin.

The late Dr. Henry Clerval.

A profound loss to us all.

And yet we expected you at his funeral.

He did not care about him.

He doesn't care about anyone.

State your business...

Or stay for the matrimony.

-To stay? -To this abomination.

Let's continue.

Your days of playing God are over, Dr. Frankenstein.

Wait.

I assure you that I am not playing God.

That was your cousin.

My partner that wanted that distinction.

If this is about money...

We know all about your infamous Dr. Frankenstein's castle.

You can have Dr. Clerval's share.

My days of reanimating anyone are over.

You fool, Frankenstein.

No!

Stay back!

Do not let their violence keep you from your love.

You fool, Victor!

This is about what is rightfully ours!

No!

What have you done?

Can we use them?

No, it's too risky.

So kill them.

But they're dead, right?

What about Dr. Frankenstein?

We need him.

-My love! -Chop the others up.

We'll use them for mincemeat.

Oh, meat pies for dinner!

Give me that.

Move.

Ooh!

John! The fire!

We must go!

Harris, grab the rest of him.

Louise, Mary, help me with Frankenstein.

Come on, hurry!

We shall take this monster to cousin Henry's manor.

You clean that blade more than you use it.

Be thankful, sister.

If not for this blade you wouldn't be cooking

your hardy rabbit stew.

Hardy? You killed the carrot stalks mostly.

Stop bickering.

Felix does a fine job at providing food.

And you, my dear Agatha,

an equally fine job of making it edible.

You know, you both do not need to stay

and watch over me any longer.

Please, Papa.

We will stay until they find Mama.

Unless the monster got her.

Stop it.

Even in the dark I can see you bickering.

Sorry, Papa.

There is no monster.

Papa, he stood a foot above the tallest of men

with a face that--

What do I care about his face? About how tall he was?

He was frightening.

Not to me.

You can't see.

Felix, the monster you are searching for

will never look like the ghouls you used to read about

in your picture books.

They are more insidious than that.

Their minds are corrupt.

All they know is lies and deceit.

You will not recognize them

because they look like you and me.

But this creature that came up to you...

Was seeking friendship. Is that so bad?

Felix tries his best at keeping friends away.

Not true. I'm a wonderful friend.

What is it, Father?

Smoke.

Looks like it's coming from the old church at the hill.

A bad omen.

I'll grab a bucket.

I'll fetch some water.

Whoa, children. Go to the town's elders.

-Enlist help from them. -There's no time!

People could be in danger.

Mama could be in that fire.

Tread carefully.

We'll be back soon.

Bad omen. Bad omen.

Someone's alive.

Felix.

No.

Are you okay?

It's okay. It's okay. We're here to help.

Agatha, I don't know about this.

She looks dangerous.

Put that blade down. Do it.

You look hurt.

Beloved.

Oh...

My beloved.

That's the monster!

Felix, shh. Quiet. Shh.

Agatha, no! Look at her!

She must be a monster, too.

No, no. Wait.

Is that?

Beloved.

I'll call the elders.

I'm Agatha.

And that imbecile's my brother Felix.

A... gatha.

Imbecile.

Can we leave?

We have to take her back to our home.

No, we don't. Why?

We've got medicine. I can patch her up there.

We have medicine at the infirmary.

Infirmary? Do you want what happened to Mother

to happen to her?

We don't know what happened to Mother.

Well, I'm not risking that fate.

Come with us.

We can help you.

Well, at least, put that thing in here.

Come on.

Okay, let's go. This way.

Be careful.

Stop staring, Felix.

I would stop staring,

but she's cradling a monster's head right in front of me.

Stop.

This poor creature has been through enough.

You need to show a bit of decency

whilst you're in my household.

My dear, I remember your betrothed.

He came here to my cottage.

He was very kind.

Others, I'm afraid, are very nervous around my affliction.

But he treated me with respect and decency.

I was not a helpless child, and he was not a ghoulish monster.

So we owe it to him to show this woman the same courtesy.

Did you love him?

Mm-hmm.

How could she know love?

-Get out! -Felix!

This isn't right.

This isn't normal.

And I suspect she has something

to do with Mother's disappearance.

Out!

Papa, please don't be hard on Felix.

Do you want to leave, too?

Now, why were you at the church?

Her gown. I think she was getting married.

Love finds a way.

Your gown is ruined.

It must have been so pretty.

Sorry. Sorry.

I didn't mean to. I made her jump.

Are you okay?

Agatha, fetch some water, please.

Clervals.

What? What is a Clerval?

I don't think it's a what.

I think the Clervals are a who.

Do we know any Clervals?

Your man, Mr. Clancy, is late.

He's lazy, that pig.

Iris, you're a dope fiend.

What are these marks?

I'm not a dope fiend.

Oh, those are needle marks.

A degenerate, just like the others.

Laudanum in his veins, madness in his head.

Let me see.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What?

Pay him no mind. He's just looking for tonic.

No, I'm not. I'm not.

I'm just making sure he doesn't stab himself again.

Mad scientist.

A megalomaniac.

A needleman.

He looks more like a dead man to me.

So tell me.

Who was in charge when you killed our cousin?

Tell me, where's the groomsman and the bride?

You're lucid now?

Oh, I hope not.

Oh, so this is a joke to him.

What happened?

They're dead.

I sliced that monster up myself.

And the bride was burned to ashes.

There's nothing left of your experiments.

It's as though you never mattered.

Well, then kill me now.

Life, death, it's the same side of the coin.

Not to me.

Not to Henry.

You killed him so that you could keep the electrical equation

that makes the machine work to yourself

and be the only one to wield its power.

No. That same power sent your cousin mad

and he killed himself believing he'd become immortal

after being resurrected on the Blood Moon.

You need my help.

The Blood Moon is upon us.

John knows all about the Blood Moon.

The journals that we did find explain its connection

to gaining immortality from the machine,

but not how to start it.

Henry was troubled.

He wasn't right in the head.

Although I can see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Silence!

You speak when I tell you to speak.

Now, these journals that we find,

they're a waste of time, full of theories and conjectures.

This is concerned with reanimating a cat and a mouse.

Well, that was your cousin.

As I mentioned, he was not...

None of these journals tell me what I need to know.

And what is that?

Henry said you wrote down the equation in a red journal.

But where? With it, we can power the machine

and bring him back to life and become commanders

in his immortal army.

I get the biology, the physiology.

I believe I understand the process,

but the engineering?

Only you and Henry knew how it worked.

If you don't tell us where the blasted red journal is,

we will torture you into telling us the equation yourself.

My machines were not made for human replication.

Immortality can only be achieved

if you combine the effects of the machine

with the special serum I developed.

It will block the effects of the Blood Moon mind control.

Otherwise, you'll become a slave to it.

The serum you seek, it enhances life, but it is not stable.

You've seen the result with my bride.

If it works on one, then it works on others.

We'll build an army of super soldiers led by Henry

and rule this land for all eternity.

You think I will help you?

No. No.

But Henry wrote it down.

He told us all about it before he died.

So where did you hide that red journal

with the electrical equation?

If we find those journals before you tell us, you die.

If I show you how to work my machines, I still die.

No.

Much, much worse than that.

I will keep reanimating you

and killing you throughout eternity.

I know what Henry had planned.

You do not want it.

You cannot fix it!

John.

John. John!

May I speak with you?

What is it?

Tonic.

Found it in his coat pocket.

So?

Well, I was told from people who have been on tonic

that it makes you say things

that you wouldn't ordinarily say.

Oh, I can use that on so many people.

We've got to do things

a little bit differently now, Dr. Frankenstein.

I will never tell.

So long as I hold off your plans.

Death...

You will tell us where those journals are, Dr. Frankenstein.

Henry would not want this.

Do not claim to know Henry better

than his own kin, Frankenstein.

You were the one who betrayed him.

You were the one who was supposed to bring him back.

But instead, you sent him home in a box,

discarded like some kind of broken children's play toy!

Do it.

Kill... Clervals.

Can I come in now?

Will you show some manners?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

Good. Now that that's over with,

do you know anyone with the surname Clerval?

No. But we must suspect that Dr. Frankenstein

is behind this.

Surely this is his handiwork.

-The reanimation, perhaps. -But not the violence.

How can you be so sure? I mean, the monster...

Do you want to go outside again?

Well, look, there is a man in town here.

He knows all and he sees all.

No.

He is really the only one to ask.

He is one of the monsters I warned you about.

Oh, he's harmless.

If you pay him enough.

Yes, so we'll pay him.

With what? My carrot stew?

Sword! Kill Clervals!

We'll go to the constable.

Surely they would apprehend the Clervals for arson at least.

The Constable? No.

He will see what Felix sees and condemn our bride on sight.

And maybe those around her that are assisting her.

No.

He is a decent man, but not very smart.

Fine. Then she stays here to heal herself.

She's dead. There's nothing to heal.

Find Clervals now!

She is not our problem.

No!

I do not know what you see, but I can feel

that you are both scared as you were

when her betrothed came to this house not a short time ago.

This is your atonement.

This is how you are to set things right.

Mother would be ashamed of you right now.

You know that?

She taught us all our lives to be better.

Clervals must die!

She cannot stay and she cannot leave.

What do you want us to do?

Clervals must die!

You are right about Mr. Clancy. He knows all.

He is probably the one to seek.

If the Clervals are killing people

and burning down churches,

then maybe they have something to do with the people in town

going missing, including Mother.

Offer up your sword for trade.

It should be plenty to get the information you need.

But I...

Sheathe another blade in your belt.

Clervals must die!

I think she is going with you.

-Let's go. -Clervals must die!

I loved Henry like a brother.

I knew what was best for him.

His plan, it cannot... cannot work.

Wake up. Wake up!

Just because you didn't share the same vision as Henry

doesn't mean that it would not work.

You of all people should understand

that nothing is truly impossible.

No!

No, it cannot be done,

because to bring such evil back into the world...

unthinkable.

It is not science.

It is war.

Do not wish war upon the people that nearly killed you!

Nearly killed your creations!

They wish an end to your science!

To your art!

Stop engaging him!

Just ask him your questions before

you lose him completely, you fool!

Do not call me a fool!

Frankenstein!

Tell us where the red journal is.

I'll never... I'll never say.

-This is useless! -You wasted time!

It was the tonic! It was a terrible idea!

Harris, look what you've done!

No matter.

We need the powders.

The powders. Where's Mr. Clancy?

Where is that swine?

Harris.

You go to that horrible bloody market,

and you find what is going on with that Mr. Clancy!

We will gather our supplies,

and if this Dr. Frankenstein won't divulge his secrets,

then we will simply plumb them

from his laboratory at Frankenstein Castle.

Now go!

Your friend.

She looks a little under the weather.

She had some bad cheese she bought from your store.

How unfortunate.

How can I help you?

What do you think, Mr. Clancy?

Information.

Well, that I have plenty of.

But it will not be cheap.

You know what it means. You know I'm capable.

I can trade you my skills for what we seek.

Skills?

Young De Lacey, you have no skills.

Clervals!

It talks.

Do you know them or not?

Clervals, Cler...

Oh, you must be thinking of...

Dr. Henry Clerval.

The late scientist, the noted scientist.

He was Victor Frankenstein's departed partner.

See, I told you Dr. Frankenstein was involved.

Oh, very involved.

What you see right here is his greatest experiment.

Talking corpse.

Frankenstein... dead.

Dead?

Oh, condolences.

Not even I knew that.

By who? You?

Her.

The Clervals.

Oh.

You must be speaking of Dr. Henry's gruesome cousins.

Four of them. They came to town about four months or so ago,

but kept it quiet.

Mr. Clancy!

You never came with the powder--

Clerval!

-Is that him? -Get away from me, you freak!

Is that a Clerval?

Oh, I should have cleaved your head from its torso!

Was the the one at the church?

Did he harm you?

He can lead us to the other Clervals!

I will save you, but you must promise

to lead me to the other Clervals.

Fine.

But you must help me stop this demon.

Don't kill him! Wait!

Kill Clervals!

Look out!

Foul creature!

-Let him go! -He must die!

No, no, no. He can lead us to the other Clervals.

Do you understand?

Let's make haste before he gets too far.

You stay back and find out why that man

was coming here in the first place.

But...

Damned woman!

Destroyed my bloody store!

Stronger men have tried to kill me, son.

I'm not your son.

Did you ever find out what happened to your mother?

How do you know about my mother?

What did that man want of you? Why was he here?

Well, same thing everybody wants, really.

Power.

Clervals, well, they want powder and medicines.

Enough to feed an army.

You were supplying that for them.

For what purpose?

It's a gruesome family business.

Reanimation?

I would imagine so, but I don't ask many questions.

Perhaps... Perhaps that's par of me charm.

Are they reanimating the dead like their cousin did?

Like Dr. Frankenstein?

Well, I'm no genius, but...

you seem to have befriended one of their experiments.

Oh!

Go back to hell, demon!

Harris and Mr. Clancy should really be back by now.

That Clancy bastard! He's clearly betrayed us!

I'll slit his throat myself

if he doesn't come back with our supplies.

We have a schedule that has to be kept,

before the Blood Moon rises.

And you sent a boy after this man.

Wait, are you sending Louise now?

I want to go, John.

-Quiet! -I want to go!

Mary, you will help me load

Dr. Frankenstein into the carriage.

Then we will take him to his laboratory.

Louise, you will go and get the powders from Mr. Clancy.

Then meet us at the castle.

Why there?

Because I wouldn't put it past Dr. Frankenstein

to hide the red journal there, close to the machine.

But if there are no journals,

at least we'll have his laboratory.

And we'll figure it out from there.

Now go.

Hup...

Yes, now, if you come upon Harris on your travels,

remind him that only the strong will become a commander.

Like me.

Go!

Before the bride killed that Clerval boy,

he dropped this list.

Are these supplies to bring back the dead?

Is that what they're planning?

Can I see it?

When they burnt down the church,

they brought Dr. Frankenstein here to me.

Father!

Yeah, in your eyes, yeah.

Was he alive?

Well, he wasn't in a great way, but yeah, yeah, he was alive.

-Alive? -Alive.

What do they want with the doctor?

Immortality!

No!

You! We burned you in the church!

We cannot kill her. She is a Clerval.

They are trying to reanimate the dead.

We must know if they know anything about Mother.

You killed our brother, didn't you?

He attacked her, like you're doing now.

Perhaps, if you just take a breath...

You're a monster! I won't...

Stop! You've got to stop!

She can tell you where Dr. Frankenstein is!

Stop, please!

I can't move!

My arms, they're frozen!

She will help us now.

Come on.

Please tell her to stop!

This is too brutal for me.

I've got to go back inside.

She's a monster.

Oh, I can't feel my legs.

Oh, dear sir.

Please listen.

We... we never never meant to kill her or her monster lover.

We only wanted Dr. Frankenstein.

What did you want with Dr. Frankenstein?

He killed our cousin, Dr. Henry Clerval,

and stole his life's work.

We only wanted what was rightfully ours.

So you are after his research.

To continue reanimating the dead.

No.

We loved our cousin dearly.

We wanted Dr. Frankenstein

to bring him back from the dead.

Surely you can understand that.

Come on, we have to go.

What?

I fear this is too much for us, younger brother.

This might just be their fight.

Not with mother still out there.

This is our fight still, too.

Come on.

Is Louise still not back?

I told you I should have gone.

What is that?

These are supplies for the resurrection.

Is he all bound up?

Of course.

I didn't want to make it too comfortable.

I should go and look for her.

And you know if I come into any trouble, I can handle it.

Ah, Mr. Clancy.

It's about time that you showed up.

I have another job for you.

I have some bad news, Mr. Clerval.

Agatha?

Madam Clerval is dead.

Did you find them? Or did they find you?

Two of the Clervals came to the slaughter market

under Mr. Clancy's keep.

You were right.

We cannot continue down this path.

I mean, she is a vile monster.

Take a pause, okay? She knows not what she's doing.

She was torturing her! Of course she knows!

She is driven by revenge.

And that is very powerful.

It's Dr. Frankenstein, not the Clervals.

Why? What did she say?

They were here for their cousin's funeral

and they were staying at his manor.

That's when they found his journal.

It turns out Dr. Clerval was suspicious of Dr. Frankenstein.

He thought he was going mad of jealousy of some sort.

Dr. Henry Clerval's manor?

The point is, they were after Dr. Frankenstein

and not these two.

Remember, child, the devil only knows lies.

You think she was lying with her dying breath?

You are young and you are naive. Of course she was lying.

You were right about the constable.

We should start there.

No, Papa was right. They're tainted.

They won't believe us or her.

She is the problem.

She, not the Clervals.

Frankenstein is alive.

The constable will believe us. We will make him.

If Dr. Frankenstein is alive,

can he put your betrothed back together?

This is madness.

She doesn't know what she's talking about.

Dr. Frankenstein is a part of all this.

And the Clervals, they were trying to stop him.

Madame Clerval said as much.

No. Doctor is good.

Doctor will help.

What is she doing?

She's cradling her dead lover's head.

I'm going to be sick.

Doctor will help.

She believes that if we can find Dr. Frankenstein,

he can put her betrothed back together.

Like some fairytale Humpty Dumpty.

This is much too macabre.

Why not?

I think he can mend a broken heart.

Betrothed.

Frankenstein!

She broke Louisa's back and severed her spine!

-This is because of you, John. -Mary!

This is his fault.

This is his fault that our brother and sister are dead.

Oh, we should slice him up like we did the others.

What? I kept my end of the bargain.

I delivered the powders and the supplies.

Mr. Clerval, please. How is it my fault?

If you had been here on time,

they wouldn't have had to fetch you.

I was kidnapped like they were.

I was no match for that demon.

And yet she let you live.

Well, I didn't kill her monstrous lover now, did I?

Enough, Mary.

It's fine.

It's fine? Fine?

John, she tortured them!

More bodies for the immortal army.

Think about it.

It'll just be us as commanders.

But Louise and Harris,

they will live again once we find the missing red journal.

At Frankenstein's laboratory, we'll make it so.

I think, I think I should, I should warn you

that while that creature is still active,

we are all in danger.

We?

She is driven by a primal sense of revenge.

Huh!

Are you suggesting that that thing is capable of emotion?

Of love?

She's a monster.

She's not capable of anything other than death.

Be that as it may, she has her sights

set on the two of you.

Well...

Then she'll need a distraction.

Kill Clervals.

Don't go too far ahead.

Kill Clervals!

How are we going to extract Dr. Frankenstein

from the Clervals?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Mr. Clancy said that there were only four cousins.

Which leaves only two remaining.

Those odds are better.

I suppose we should just let her off her leash.

Stop. She's not a feral animal.

She's not human either.

Well, she's capable of love.

Which makes her more human than some.

And she's not ours to control.

Let's just give her to Dr. Frankenstein

and hopefully without carnage.

Clervals!

There goes our element of surprise.

Clervals!

Now what?

Let us search the grounds.

Oh, you again.

I should say the same.

Shall we go another round?

Or shall we cut to the chase

and you just tell us where the Clervals are?

Oh, that's easy, isn't it?

It's a great pleasure.

I tell you, they have left to go home.

They've left?

Yes, we're finally rid of those evil, nasty, unethical people.

Yeah, you should know.

They have left to go home for the docks.

They know they're no match for her.

And Dr. Frankenstein?

Oh, Dr. Frankenstein. Well, he's gone with them.

Yeah, he's over at the docks.

We're finally rid of this whole Frankenstein chapter.

Tell her! Get her off! Get her off me!

Tell her the Clervals are gone, please!

Tell her! Tell her!

-Frankenstein! -Yes, Frankenstein, your father.

He's at the docks. They're going home.

They're there now. Go! Hurry! Hurry!

How do we know you're telling the truth?

Look, if I'm not telling the truth, that thing

is going to come back and kill me now, isn't she?

Dr. Frankenstein is at the docks.

-Yes, hurry! -Docks!

Ships.

If we hurry, we might be able to catch him.

Hurry! Come on, before it gets too dark.

We don't know what we're walking into.

You know, I always meant to ask you.

When the mob came to attack the monster,

you know, her lover, why didn't you participate?

I always thought you hesitated.

That's funny.

I never knew why you participated.

Well, I thought he was dangerous.

He was the victim of a madman who turned him back to life.

And her?

I don't know if we should envy her passion

or we should be fearful of this new world.

Either way, she's a victim, too.

And she deserves our compassion.

Father!

Father...

Run! It's an ambush!

It's an ambush!

Mary! Get back, quick!

Agatha!

I'm coming!

Where is Dr. Frankenstein?

Felix?

Dead.

Find Frankenstein.

Hurt?

Yes...

Hurt?

Hurt.

You go.

Find your papa.

Take you home.

Thank you.

Mary. Mary, how are you doing?

John, am I dead?

No. Not yet.

Where's... where's the doctor?

No. No!

You let them get away!

I didn't let him do anything.

The goddamn doctor's escaped.

Look at you, you're a bloody mess.

Clean yourself up.

I was mauled by that creature!

John, what are you doing?

What does it look like I'm doing?

Adding another soldier to the army of the undead.

Come on. Let's go.

We don't have Dr. Frankenstein.

I'm the doctor now.

We need to search for the missing journal

at Frankenstein's laboratory.

Come on.

They'll be waiting for us.

Scared? You?

No. No, I'm not scared of anything.

This is our last chance to resurrect Henry.

And then the doctor, John.

After we resurrect Henry and the immortal army, he dies.

And her.

Once Henry's back, it'll make no difference.

Come on, let's go.

Papa.

Agatha?

What happened?

It's Felix.

They stabbed him. They killed him.

Shh, shh, shh.

They were throwing daggers at both of us,

and then they got behind him.

What a magnificent laboratory.

Yes. Clancy has been busy.

Once we bring in our dear cousin Henry's modifications,

we'll have everything we need here.

Now, we'd start by finding that journal.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Weakness.

I'm in pain, John.

Come on.

Put him against the wall.

Here he is.

Your cousin.

The illustrious Dr. Henry Clerval.

Magnificent.

I got something that can fix that.

Leave it. I'm starting to like it.

Okay.

Well, you're both back.

So, assuming we're rid of the bride and the wedding party?

That will be all, Mr. Clancy.

But what about the doctor? Dr. Frankenstein?

Don't you have another errand to get to?

Um... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got more bodies to collect.

I put most of them in the deep freeze.

But, alas, I do have one more trip.

So, leave.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I want to kill him so bad.

You'll get your chance.

You mean when I become immortal?

When we become immortal.

But first, we need to find the journals.

What happens if we can't find the journal?

And Dr. Frankenstein won't help us?

Then we'll do it ourselves.

We will do the best we can.

But first, we need to reanimate our dear cousin, Henry.

And then he will take care of the rest.

Now start searching for that journal.

I let him down.

You couldn't control his fate.

Just as I couldn't control my eyesight.

I should have known it was an ambush.

It's by the grace of the divine

that I am not burying two children this day.

What if... what if we find Frankenstein?

No. I'm sorry, child. No.

You didn't even listen to what I was going to say.

You want to reanimate Felix? No.

We are not gods.

We are fools to pretend to be.

This life is precious.

This life.

If you could cure blindness, wouldn't you?

Child, you act as if blindness is a curse.

The only curse is the curse of a blackened soul.

Those committing evil will never be happy.

Never.

They will never know friendship or love.

And without that...

My name is Victor--

Frankenstein.

-My bride. -Father!

My beloved...

Thank you for looking after her.

And I'm sorry for the loss of the man at the docks.

My son.

Oh. He was very brave.

The Clervals, they're desperate people.

Desperate? For what?

Power. Greed.

Everything they do not possess.

That type of greed can seem unstoppable.

Sorry, I'm rambling.

I followed you and...

I'm here to collect this lovely creature.

Where are you going?

That's none of your concern.

Well, my brother sacrificed his life, so yes, it is.

Apologies for my discourtesy.

It was for your own welfare.

We are leaving before the Clervals

get what they're looking for.

Before it becomes impossible to get off this island.

You're going to let them win?

Well, I doubt that John Clerval has

the capacity to bring back the dead.

But luck, by definition, has outwitted us all at times.

No! Can't go.

I am sorry, my dear.

But once we leave, there will be no more reanimation.

By now, the Clervals are probably at my lab as we speak.

They only have until tonight to bring back their coven.

And they will fail.

Enraged, they will burn down my castle.

And there will be nothing left.

And no way to bring back your betrothed.

They were married?

Married?

Not in this life.

Was it an accident that took them?

They had plans, but he was murdered

before their blessed day.

Her husband, this woman, was so stricken with grief

that she put herself into an early grave.

Once he gained capacity for speech,

all he could ask for was for me to bring back his one true love.

I thought I was done with this.

But if I were to play God,

is love not the most compelling reason to do so?

Love is not possession, Doctor. It's surrender.

If you truly love them, you would want their souls at peace.

Not chained here by your science.

You would condemn her twice?

Once in life, once in death.

All because you cannot bear to lose her?

Sometimes the holiest act of love

is to let what we love rest.

Sometimes, sir, it is no longer our decision to make.

I'll go.

No, even if you do beat them,

you cannot bring back her lover.

Then come with me.

You said it was no longer our decision to make,

but you have one more.

She called you her father.

Let me tell you, sir, from one papa to another,

she is expecting nothing more than the very best in you.

To protect the very best in her.

I will watch her.

Have you found the journals yet?

No, but...

Look what I have found.

This must be where we input the electrical equation

to power it up.

You're wasting time.

No, this is the power source that cousin Henry talked about.

In place of any lightning storm.

Just stop wasting time.

And find the journals.

Useless.

No, you cannot go that way. These roads are watched.

That will not end well for you.

-We will take the other road. -Quicker!

It's a little scenic, but it's not far.

Please don't kill me.

You. You betrayed us at the docks.

With apologies.

They killed Felix.

Where did they take his body?

Those fools have taken many bodies.

Sorry. Sorry.

After the Clervals resurrect their cousin Henry,

they have a sinister plan involving all the corpses

from the town's graveyard. Please!

He was the worst kind of opportunist.

Why was he cutting those bodies?

Are they making another monster?

-My dear. -A really big monster?

Much worse.

Stop. I need to know what's worse.

My dear, he was creating an army of the undead

with him as the commander.

How?

He figured that under a Blood Moon,

the atmosphere was changed somehow.

That if he was reanimated under those conditions,

that he could control the dead.

But he wasn't dead.

No, I killed him.

I watched him kill himself with the understanding

that I would be here tonight.

Reanimating him.

Now you know why I didn't want to be here.

Maybe it's in here.

You are worthless!

Well, you look for it then.

Mary, you had one job to do.

Maybe Dr. Frankenstein never committed

his process to the page.

I've already searched there.

It's a waste of time.

Stop wasting time!

The missing journal.

Let's begin.

Agatha, the Bride and I, we shall stop this madness.

You stay here.

No, but please.

I intend to return you to your father unscathed.

-Now give me the sword. -Please.

Use your dagger if they get too close.

-Please. -I will look after it.

I understand the magnitude of what I'm asking here.

But if anyone is making it out alive, it is you.

-Please. -Please.

Please.

Be safe.

Are you ready?

He always was my favorite cousin.

Hold, my bride.

I see you found my journals.

They were scribble. But I made sense of them.

Now we have the equation to start the machine.

My beloved.

Your lover is all in there. Just cut into pieces.

Tell your beast that if she makes any moves on us,

we will kill you.

My beloved.

Do you understand, beast?

He will die.

I'll lead her away.

This rod has enough electricity to evaporate you into oblivion!

He's getting away!

No. The body!

We have to stop it from reanimating!

We have to stop the machine. Here.

It's harmless.

I just need a few moments.

This isn't safe.

We do not know where they are.

Hurry!

Here.

I am almost done.

Ah!

Frankenstein!

John!

John, she's coming!

Good riddance.

We should not have killed Dr. Frankenstein.

What if we run into problems with his machine?

We have no choice.

The Blood Moon is almost at its apex.

Let's start up this blasted machine.

It's time to welcome back Cousin Henry.

Well?

This was a one-shot deal.

If we've mucked this up...

Come on, Cousin Henry. Come on!

Yes. Yes. Yes...

He's alive!

Alive!

Jesus, Mary, and Joesph! Yes...

You're back, Cousin. You're back.

Do you recognize us?

It's me. Your cousin John.

And Mary.

I'm alive.

I'm alive!

Cousin...

Everything listed in your journal is here.

We brought everything exactly to your specifications.

We brought you back under the Blood Moon.

Oh, Victor.

You disappoint me.

You two did what he could not.

Thank you.

We're ready to be your commanders.

Then where is my army?

Here, Cousin.

Oh...

We have much, much work to do.

Grab him. Get him on there.

We'll bring him back to life first.

No, no, no, Cousin. Cousin, no.

Not him.

He's the only one that knows how the machine works.

John!

Cousin Henry!

You have to die first if you want to be immortal.

No, no, I'm not ready. Please.

Please!

Very well.

Prepare the doctor.

Ready the generator, Mary. Come.

But I... I don't know how...

If you want to stay alive,

you're going to have to be a little more useful than that.

So teach me then!

What are you doing?

Currently changing the neural transmissions

so that my army only follows my command.

Yes, yes.

Not... not us though, right?

Not John and I.

We're meant to be commanders.

We're meant to control your militia, not be controlled.

That was our promise!

Yes, well... we all made many promises, didn't we?

There. Done.

Who is that?

She and her brother Felix were trying to help Dr. Frankenstein.

Well, she'll be under my control soon enough.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Dr. Frankenstein.

Hello.

Now, won't you be a dear and stand up there for me?

Very good. Very good.

Now, perhaps you could get Mary's corpse

and place it on the table for me?

Wonderful.

Wonderful, Victor.

Thank you.

Now, ready the patient.

We will revive her.

Up you get, Mary. Very good. Very good.

Now, John too.

Very good. Very good. Good. Well done.

Let's add another soldier to my undead army.

Marvelous. Wonderful.

All right.

John, Mary, collect more bodies from the village cemetery.

Victor, take the girl into the resurrection chamber.

Marvelous. Go, now. go!

Oh... I remember you.

Yes. This was the monster's lover.

Yes, we reanimated her just before my death.

Do you remember her, Victor?

Oh, okay. Well, run along and then put her in the chamber too.

Yes, yes.

Victor, we're running out of serum.

Hand me the last of it.

Quickly.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

You know, I could really get used to this obedience of yours.

Could you stand there, please?

Thank you.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

We've done it.

Victor....

We're ready to begin.

My army is ready.

Thank you for all your help, wonderful man.

Now...

Wake up!

Wake up, my children!

You, you are the lucky few to be brought back from the dead.

You, who are the lucky few, have a chance to right your wrongs.

To seek revenge on those

who said they loved you while you were alive,

but spat on your grave in your passing.

We are here to reclaim this world.

To seek retribution.

To find revenge and murder all those

who mocked us in our lives!

All those who vilified us!

We will not be ignored!

Now go into the village.

Find all those that wronged you

and make them pay.

Kill them all!

Go! Go!

Isn't it beautiful, Victor?

Why do I hear a heartbeat?

What are you doing?

Look at him. Look at your beloved.

This is who you're fighting for. Not Dr. Clerval.

Don't listen to her. Listen to me!

Don't give in. Fight harder. Fight for your beloved.

John, John!

Kill them both, now! Quickly!

Stop her.

Felix? Felix!

Don't you touch him! Don't you touch him!

Splendid!

Fill the chamber for the next batch of soldiers.

Everything is going exactly to plan.

Everything is going to work.

It's going to work.

The chamber is full.

Leave the rest of them on the floor outside.

More... corpses.

Agatha.

Agatha, wake up.

The village. They had Felix's body.

Where did you go?

Saw Clervals...

Take you.

I followed back here.

Bride. You came back.

I have you!

No, that's not your father anymore.

It's me. It's me.

Bring back beloved!

Dr. Frankenstein, how are you alive?

This day...

It was inevitable.

So I created an antidote in case they tried to turn me.

The Clervals thought it was a tonic.

Do you know how to sew?

Arise! Join my army of the undead!

Keep making all that noise.

Elizabeth?

It looks as though I've got all the torches and pitchforks now.

Yes...

How is this going to work?

How is it going to attach itself?

Just keep sewing.

I'll get the serum.

Oh, I think it's working.

I think it's working.

It's working.

Felix.

Whoever you think that is, it's not him.

Protect his body, please. Where's the antidote?

There is no more antidote. It's in my blood.

-Find some. -There is no more.

Protect the body. The machine.

No. Wait. Wait! That's too much current!

Dr. Frankenstein, was that...

The serum must have reacted with the current.

Good God, what have I done?

Wait!

Where did he go?

The village.

He's still under Dr. Clerval's control.

It'll be a massacre.

What about his bride?

I don't know how to save her.

Is she under his control?

I don't know.

Wait. I cannot let you go out there.

They will sense you are alive

and they will kill you on the spot.

This will give you temporary immunity.

Are you killing me?

Simply marvelous.

Beloved!

Hello, my old friend.

I'm so happy to see you again.

You know, I think you may need to kill

a whole bunch of people that wanted you dead.

Off you go.

Yes, that's it.

Just marvelous.

Ah!

No!

Kill her! Kill your bride!

What is this?

You killed my brother!

Stop!

On your knees, girl!

What are you doing?

Do you think you can control me?

You can't control me.

I control you.

I control everyone here.

And soon, I will control.

You don't control me.

Wretched girl.

You can't hurt me.

I am immortal!

I am a god!

Now kill her.

All of you, kill her!

Kill Clervals!

No, wait, no, wait. Please, please, no.

No! No! No!

Honey?

Welcome home, my love.

Beloved!

My beloved!

Dr. Frankenstein, is she...

She's... gone.

Oh, my dear young man.

Your bride...

She made it.

She survived.

Dr. Frankenstein, how?

The energy burned out and the serum finally stabilized.

She's...

Beautiful.

What is true love?

As a scientist, I thought it was just an equation.

A problem to be solved.

But there is no math when it comes to the heart.

And these two beautiful people

are made with the greatest hearts of all.

Do you, sir, take this woman...

To be thy wedded wife?

I...

Do.

And do you...

...take this man...

to be thy wedded husband?

I do, my beloved.
