Demonio azul (1965) - full transcript

A professor challenges a mad scientist who turns himself into a werewolf.

All characters depicted in this film are entirely fictitious. Any similarity to actual people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

What's your opinion, doctor?

They must've been attacked by a wolf

What about you, Dr. Gruber?

What is your opinion as a scientific investigator?

A wolf wouldn't have mauled them in such a way...

...apart from the wounds that are present in the bodies...

...all of their bones are broken

Almost as if they were crushed by a hug

Are you trying to say they were attacked by a bear?

I wouldn't say that...



I am truly baffled

After 50 years, history repeats itself

What are you trying to say?

When I was a child, I remember a humanoid beast that lived in the forest

That slaughtered many villagers

That's only a superstition, a legend

No, doctor

There was a mad scientist that lived in the abandoned mansion

And every full moon he turned into a wolf!

Will you come inside to greet my dad, Lauro?

I wouldn't want to distract him

And remember, its the end of the course and I have to prepare my lesson

You need to study as well, my love-

What are you implying? That I'm the dumbest one of your students?



If you're not the dumbest one, I can assure you, you're definitely the prettiest one

You know that when I became a widower I moved into this town with my daughter, Marina...

...in search of peace and obscurity

But I never neglected my love for studies and investigations

Keeping myself in contact with scientific academies worldwide

Yes, well...

Intrigued by the tales of the villagers...

...or as you call them, legend and superstition...

I requested the reports on Fernando Salgarol years ago

The wise man who 50 years ago...

...lived in the abandoned mansion

This is the information that several European universities sent me

referencing the investigations that Salgarol was developing at the time

With this full moon, and with you by my side...

I predict that my biology class will be a mess

Apart from talking about science...what else can you do?

This is absurd, it's unbelievable...

This means that at this time, there is a man on the loose

That by scientific means, managed to awaken the beast that every one of us carry inside?

...Exactly!

In plain 20th century, and barely 50 kilometers from the city?

I've never heard such absurdity

In times such as these, where scientific advancement is astounding...

Nothing is absurd or impossible

I am not a scientist, but, as a doctor

I know for certain, that it is impossible for a human being to turn itself into a beast

The fact that Matias confirmed your claims only justifies his ignorance

But from you...

...that's where I draw the line

Don't tell me that Fernando Salgarolo, came from the beyond to turn himself into a wolf

Fernando Salgarolo did not die

He mysteriously disappeared without leaving any trace

And according to these reports, he was originally from Transylvania

A mountainous region very similar to this one

What's so bizarre about that?

That in this same region there are plenty of wolves and mandrake roots

Both of which are included in his own experiments

(Sarcastically, refering to the howl)
It must be your human beast starting another killing spree

Why don't you inform the police in order to stop it?

This is not a case that can be resolved by the police...

...but by Blue Demon

Blue Demon!? Demonio Azul? What are you talking about?

I'm talking about a man whose life is surrounded by mystery

A man of extraordinary strength and courage

That in more than one occasion, has solved impenetrable enigmas

First you talk about human beasts, and now to fight them...

...a demon. And not even a red demon, a blue one...

You have really gone mad this time

Good evening, godfather

You look more beautiful every day, and more in love

How is Lauro?

He's fine, and very much in love as well

At least, that's what I think

Are you staying for dinner?
-I'd love to

You'll have to excuse me, I have an appointment in the city

What happened, dad?

No, I just need to meet someone

Don't wait for me, I'll return later. Goodbye Rafael.

I have a feeling that everything you've told me so far...

...is connected to the mysterious disappearance of several wrestlers

We will inspect that abandoned mansion

This is the place where the couple was attacked

Let's go

Do not shoot, professor!

It's Salvaje, professor

One of the fighters that had mysteriously disappeared

This man has been the victim, or the instrument...

...of a maniacal genius on the loose

Let's head on to the abandoned mansion

There it is, professor

Professor...

This lock has been tampered with recently

This door is shut down

I foresee danger, someone is preying on us

It must have weakened with time

Professor, this one leads to another hallway

Yes, Demon. Let's be careful

This lock has the same markings as the one underground

It's been tampered with recently

(cut off) And in the person that robbed it...

...is the answer to this entire mystery

Watch out!

Professor, we forgot about Salvaje

We need to examine his corpse

Chapter II: The Morbid Howl

Nobody knows that I'm the grandchild of Fernando Salgarol

And that I came from Transylvania to continue his experiments

But now all of my plans are in danger

And I must go on

I need to reach the end

First...

The awakening of the beast that each one of us carry inside

And then...

The main stage

The awakening of the angel

Of the superior man

A lineage of super men...

...all thanks to my talent

But where could I have failed?

And how?

Fernando Salgarolo's Journal - 1910

April...

...1909...

"Keeping alive the brain of a savage beast..."

"Using electromagnetic currents"

"And feeding it with extracted juice from the mandrake root"

"...One obtains a colorful substance"

"That must reach the highest boiling point"

"Later, from the vaporization"

"One obtains the concentrate that temporarily turns the inoculate man..."

"...back into its animal origin"

I have followed all of the instructions to the letter

but without results

May, 1909

"The inoculation is no longer momentary..."

"...but periodical"

"What is the mysterious relation"

"between my findings and the nights of the full moon?"

"At times, my recklessness frightens me"

"my loyal Marco wants to abandon me"

"the substance obtained from the brain of a genius"

"will awaken the spark of the human ability"

December, 1909

"I have finally proved it"

"Everything is possible for science"

"But I neglected the most important part of all..."

Somewhere inside this mansion...

He must've hidden the second part of his journal...

Did you bury Salvaje's body without danger of being discovered?

Yes, we hid him in the tall grass, at the end of the cliff

While you two were outside

Blue Demon and professor Gruber payed me a visit

But for now I can't take care of them

I need to carry on my experiments

I need more men like you

Now that Blue Demon is involved in this affair

It will be much harder to kidnap more partners

Are you trying to tell me you're afraid of the masked man?

I'm not

Well, I am

Blue Demon is invincible

I was this close to win the championship

In a few days, I will fight him and I will rip him apart

If you kill Blue Demon while fighting in the ring, no one will blame you

I will inject you with my formula that will give you the strength of a colossus

Let myself get injected? After what happened to Salvaje?

I'm not crazy!

The substance I'll use on your body will be completely different

It will only give you strength

Not the appearance of a monster

Besides...

I will pay you ten times the amount you would win in that fight

If you win against Blue Demon, you'll become famous

And World Champion!

Alright professor

I accept

With time, I will have the formula ready

Even though everything is feasible for science these days

I am sure that evolutionary regression is impossible for mankind

Every visionary has been mocked before

Jules Verne, for example

And now that we are ready to conquer other planets

You think the apparition of a monster in our forests is inadmissible

A monster created by an evil genius

But a scientific genius, nonetheless!

Just to find an agreement

Let's pretend your theory can become reality with time

But for now, it only belongs to the realm of fantasy

That is the right word!

Fantasy

What ever happened to the man that, according to you

Transformed from a monster, into a wrestler?

Whose body disappeared as if it was magic

I dont know...

But I repeat to you, someone else witnessed it as well

But you deny telling us who it is

Why?~

Because I cannot reveal his identity!

Father...

Isn't it possible that this man was also killed by a wolf?

And that his family gave him a proper burial without calling the authorities?

No daughter, I say it again, that man...

Was a professional wrestler

Talking about fighters

There is one that is causing much sensation

And tomorrow night, if you don't have inconveniences

I'd like to take Marina to see his fight for the Championship

His name is Blue Demon, el Demonio Azul

On my part, there is no problem

What do you say, daughter?

Of course, I'll say yes!

But with the only condition that when we get back

You will show me the wrestler's camping spot in the forest

They say there's going to be a party at midnight

And...

Aren't you afraid to encounter the monster?

Excuse me, gentlemen. I must go

How come you didn't want to mention Blue Demon?

Because I have my reasons

I beg you to keep it between us

What are you thinking about?

Father

I'm very worried about him

Too much work has exhausted him

He needs to rest

If you're are worried about his mental health

You are mistaken

I've never met anyone as healthy and sane as him

It's the same with every wise man

Sometimes they indulge

Many times they mix fantasy with reality

But it will pass, don't beat yourself down

Shall we go?

It's getting kind of late

I see father has made an impression on you

Are you afraid about the monster?

No...

That's not it

I have many things to do

Tomorrow I'll take you out and we will have all the fun you want

Let's go?

Every time we come here to hunt wolves

My hair spikes up

But master pays us well, no?

I think the professor is completely insane

Hey...

Are you gonna get yourself injected in order to fight Blue Demon?

I want to pass on that, I'll probably end up like Salvaje

But what if you manage to beat Demon?

You'd become famous...

And then you wouldn't even talk to your friends...

If you're so convinced, why don't you get injected yourself?

Me? No, buddy

I'm not as brave as you are

I'll take chance, let's see what happens

Hello Inspector, you never miss a fight, do you?

When Blue Demon fights, never. I am a fan, and a friend!

Who is that?

Nobody knows...

In a few moments, it won't matter anymore

I mean, the important part is to watch him fight

He's the best one there is!

He's looking at me as if we knew each other

Its like every wrestler knows about us

Did you realize how he stared at us?

It's just a trick

They do that to impress the audience

Let's get out of here Lauro

Let's leave for God's sake!

Take me home

I can't have fun after what just happened

This jar, contains my grandfather's formula...

And this one, my own formula

WIth the first jar, I will inject a rabbit

And with mine, the other one

The first rabbit will only be under the influence of one formula

And will only transform with the full moon

If everything goes as planned...

...I will experiment with the brain of a genius

Like professor Gruber?

Don't bullshit me!

You said it yourself, he's a genius

...Why not?

With my formula

The second rabbit will also transform

But in one hour it will go back to its natural state, without any lunar influence

Everything has followed my predictions

Now, I will experiment on you, Ursus

No, professor. Not with me!

I will pay you a fortune

I wouldn't do it for all the gold in the world

You coward...

I will inject myself...

You will lock me in the cell...

And when I turn back into my natural state, you will let me out

Ursus...

You can let me go now, Ursus

The risk has passed

My experiment has been a success

Open!

I don't know, professor...

What if I let you out...

...and you turn back into the beast?

Open up, moron!

Can't you see that the moon is not affecting me?

Can't you see that I have finally triumphed!?

Open up or you will regret it

Don't threaten me, professor...

You are a danger to mankind

I think I better go, and leave you here locked up

I don't want to end up like Salvaje and Sanguinario

Ursus...

There is something you need to know

During the transformation, I had a burning desire to escape, to feel free!

But when I saw you, I recognized you...

And I never even thought about attacking you

I swear to you, my words speak the truth

Let me out! I will make you rich

I will give you everything you want, everything you ask!

Don't forget you promised to make me rich

If I gave you everything now, you'd leave, and I still need you

When the experiments are over

I will keep my promise, I am a man of my word

What do you want me to do?

To kidnap Dr. Gruber?

I'll tell you. With time...

Chapter III: The Fury of the Beast

What? Is the service closed?

Not for you, professor. What can I get you?

Give me a loaded coffee

You don't expect to sleep tonight...

That's exactly what I hope for

After what happened to that couple in the forest...

No one wants to go out at night

People are afraid to leave their homes

Do you think the story of the beast is true, professor?

Nonsense...

I am afraid...

Why?

My shift is about to end, and there is no one to keep me company

Besides, I live alone...

If you want, I can give you a ride home

Thank you, professor!

Leave!

Leave me!

What is happening?

Leave, before its too late

Poor girl...

And yet you still believe the beast of the forest is just a fantasy

Lauro and I saw it with our own eyes, when he was fighting in the arena

Yes, I know. So did thousands of other spectators as well

But the press, which is much more bright, at least confirmed it was all bullshit

And the police has had the good judgement of staying quiet...

Are you seriously trying to tell me that, in plain 20th century

there is a human beast moving around town, killing people?

And how does he travel?

Automobile? On foot? Does he fly around?

What do you think Lauro?

I don't know what to think, doctor

What's wrong Lauro?

Do you feel sick?

No, Marina

I'm just over-worked, that's all...

If you forgive me, I'd like to leave now

Will you come later this evening to the parish?

Is it really necessary for me to be present?

They will have a prayer for that poor girl, Lauro

If you don't go, everyone will feel neglected

I won't miss

It's been long enough, he needs to explain himself

What has happened, father?

I don't understand...

It's nothing, daughter

Remember, he didn't want to attend the ceremony because he felt sick

But he has changed! He is not the same person he was before

The tragedy that has swept the town must have affected him too much

To these things that seem absurd, he must feel confused, disturbed even

Just as I am...

He is a man of science, after all...

...a man of science...

You need to rest, daughter. And I have to finish a couple of chores

I am sure that Lauro will speak to you tomorrow

And you will realize of all this has been a storm in a cup of water

Good evening, doctor...

Things are even more serious than we thought

I just came here to tell you, stay very close to your daughter

She is in grave danger. Do not let her go out with anyone

I will speak to you later tonight

Fernando Salgarolo's Journal...

...second chapter...

"January, 1910..."

"Yes..".

"I forgot about the most important thing "

"God exists"

"I have murdered my loyal Marcos in the laboratory"

"He wasn't able to lock me in time"

"Now that I'm back to my human form, and have a moment of clarity..."

"...I realize I only have one more thing to do..."

"Since I am a danger to humankind"

"I will kill myself!"

"May God have mercy on my soul"

Who are you?

Where have you taken me?

You are currently inside your son-in-law's secret laboratory

Professor Lauro Carral

He...

He ordered you to kidnap me?

Yes, professor

That man is insane!

I know that...

As long as he keeps paying me a small fortune

I don't give a damn

He promised to make me rich

What are you trying to do with me?

We will pull your brains out

He got tired of having to experiment on wolves

But, that is not possible!

He says that instead of making a race of human beasts

He will make a race of...

Super men!

You insensate!

Don't you see you will end up killed as well?

He won't do anything to me

He needs me, and he knows that

But when he transforms into a beast, he will rip you to shreds!

In that case, I will defend myself

I'm not afraid of him...

I will end up becoming a sage as well, professor

This mix...is as good as the best moonshine!

We will search through the forest

In groups of three or four, whoever finds the beast

Scream! Alert everyone else

You should wait in the church

No, I will come with you!

Fine, but don't separate from the group

It's useless Demon, don't waste your energy

That must be professor Carral

Matias!

Matias!

Head onto the abandoned mansion, and make sure to rescue professor Gruber

He is in the laboratory

Let's split up, we need to find Demon. My daughter is in danger!

No!

Don't shoot, no!

No!

Don't shoot, no!

Please, stop!

Stop it, no!
