Frankenstein (2004–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript
WHOA.
VICTOR!
WILLIAM'S MURDERER
HAS BEEN APPREHENDED.
THEY HAVE CAUGHT HIM?
NOT HIM...
HER.
JUSTINE.
JUSTINE?
THIS WAS HIDDEN
AMONG HER POSSESSIONS.
DEAR GOD.
JUSTINE HAD NO REASON
TO STEAL IT.
IF SHE HAD WANTED
THE CAMEO,
I WOULD GLADLY
HAVE GIVEN IT TO HER.
AND HOW ELSE COULD
SHE HAVE OBTAINED IT
IF NOT FROM THE BOY?
ANY NUMBER OF WAYS.
THE EVIDENCE
IS AGAINST HER.
JUSTINE IS NO MURDERER.
SHE'S JUST
A SERVANT GIRL.
WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING
HER SO VEHEMENTLY?
SHE IS NOT JUST
A SERVANT GIRL!
SHE IS PART
OF OUR FAMILY!
IF YOU ARE NOT BLOOD,
YOU ARE NOT FAMILY.
ANYWAY...
THE GIRL CONFESSED.
POMPOUS, ARROGANT BUREAUCRAT!
ALL HE CRAVES
IS AN EXPEDITIOUS CONVICTION!
YOU KNOW I LOVE JUSTINE,
BUT SHE CONFESSED
TO MURDER.
SHE IS NOT.
I KNOW IT FOR A FACT!
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I KNOW JUSTINE.
YOU MUST ALL DESPISE ME...
BUT I NEVER HARMED ANYONE.
YOU MUST BELIEVE ME.
FATHER BEAUFORT...
DID HE COERCE YOU
INTO CONFESSING?
I--I WAS SO CONFUSED.
SELF-RIGHTEOUS
BUREAUCRATS.
ONLY GOD
KNOWS I'M INNOCENT.
I KNOW IT, TOO.
I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE COURT
HAS DECREED.
CERTAINLY NEW EVIDENCE
MUST BE CONSIDERED.
WHICH IS WHAT?
THAT SOME
MONSTROUS CREATURE
MURDERED
YOUR BROTHER,
AND HE'S TAKING
REFUGE IN THE WOODS?
YES! SEND OUT
A SEARCH PARTY NOW
BEFORE THE DEMON
PERPETRATES ANY MORE CRIMES!
IT'S QUITE
A FANTASTIC STORY.
HE IS REAL.
HERR FRANKENSTEIN...
JUSTICE IS DONE.
PEACE
BE WITH YOU, WOMAN.
MAY THE LORD'S MERCY
SHINE UPON YOU
FOR YOUR CRIMES.
OUR FATHER
WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE,
ON EARTH AS IT IS
IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD
AND FORGIVE US
OUR TRESPASSES
AS WE FORGIVE THOSE
WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US
AND LEAD US NOT...
AMEN.
MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY
ON YOUR SOUL.
NO!
KNOWING
WHAT YOU KNEW,
YOU ALLOWED THEM
TO HANG HER.
HOW COULD YOU, SIR?
I DID EVERYTHING I COULD,
EVERYTHING IN MY POWER
TO SAVE JUSTINE...
BUT I HAD NO EVIDENCE.
THEY PREFERRED TO EXECUTE
AN INNOCENT SERVANT GIRL
RATHER THAN BELIEVE
THERE WAS A MONSTER
IN THEIR MIDST.
POOR CHILD.
JUSTINE...
FORGIVE ME.
FORGIVE ME.
Please...
COME FIND ME...
My father.
TAKE CARE OF THEM, HENRY.
IT IS SELFISH
OF YOU TO GO.
THIS FAMILY HAS BEEN
THROUGH ENOUGH PAIN.
AND IF I DO NOT GO,
THERE WILL BE MORE PAIN
THAN ANYONE CAN BEAR.
VICTOR, DO NOT GO!
THE WORLD
IS A MISERABLE PLACE, HENRY.
MUCH MORE
THAN I EVER THOUGHT.
I KNOW YOU ARE THERE.
AND YOU WERE NOT
FILLED WITH FEAR
OF WHAT HE MIGHT
DO TO YOU?
I WAS READY TO DIE...
TO TAKE HIM
WITH ME TO HELL...
BUT HE HAD OTHER PLANS.
WHAT?
TO MAKE ME UNDERSTAND
THE NATURE OF HIS CRIMES...
AND MINE.
SHOW YOURSELF!
FATHER.
UNH!
WRETCHED DEVIL!
IS THIS HOW
YOU WISH TO DIE?
HOW YOU'LL SPEND
YOUR LAST FEW HOURS
BEFORE GOD?
YOU--
Y-YOU CAN SPEAK.
YOU REALLY THINK
WE'RE SO DIFFERENT?
I AM FLESH AND BLOOD,
ENDOWED WITH PERCEPTIONS,
PASSIONS--
AND A MURDEROUS SOUL!
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THAT?!
FOR FILLING MY HEART
WITH SUCH ANGER?
I CURSE THE DAY
YOU FIRST SAW LIGHT!
I CURSE THESE HANDS
THAT GAVE YOU LIFE!
YOU ACCUSE ME OF MURDER,
YET YOU WOULD DESTROY
YOUR OWN CREATION?
YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION.
THE WORLD
HAS REJECTED ME.
I HOPED...
MY FATHER WOULD NOT.
I AM NOT YOUR FATHER.
YOU MADE ME WHAT I AM!
YOU STITCHED ME TOGETHER
FROM DEATH AND DECAY.
A MISTAKE,
A DREADFUL MISTAKE!
WHICH I MUST PAY FOR!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THE LONELINESS
I HAVE ENDURED?
AND SO YOU SOUGHT
YOUR VENGEANCE ON WILLIAM.
I NEVER INTENDED
TO HARM HIM...
NOT LIKE THAT.
IT WAS YOU
I WENT HOME TO FIND.
THE FIRST ONE I SAW
WAS THE LITTLE ONE.
WILLIAM FRANKENSTEIN,
COME OUT HERE NOW!
SO I FOLLOWED HIM
AND WAITED
UNTIL HE WAS ALONE.
STOP. YOU MUST WAIT.
I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU.
ELIZABETH!
PLEASE.
NO!
LET ME GO, MONSTER!
PLEASE!
HIS EYES.
YOU HAVE HIS EYES.
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME.
PLEASE!
I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOU.
ELIZABETH!
SOMEBODY!
YOU MUST BE QUIET.
SOMEBODY!
I NEED TO SEE HIM.
ELIZABETH!
I MUST SPEAK WITH
VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN.
YOU ARE HIS FAMILY.
I KNOW YOU
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
HE USED TO BRING--
NO!
PLEASE! WAKE UP.
WAKE UP!
Please.
MY GOD!
HE WAS GONE.
MY BROTHER
WAS JUST A CHILD.
AN INNOCENT.
WHAT DID YOU DO
TO JUSTINE?
WILLIAM!
WILLIAM!
WILLIAM!
SHE SPENT THE REST
OF THE DAY AND NIGHT
CALLING OUT FOR WILLIAM.
I FELT AN UNEXPLAINABLE
COMPULSION
TO FOLLOW HER.
I--I KNOW
I SHOULD HAVE FLED
FROM WHAT I'D DONE
TO THE SWEET BOY,
BUT I--I YEARNED--
YEARNED TO BE NEAR HER.
I WAITED OUT
IN THE COLD NIGHT
UNTIL I COULD
NO LONGER WAIT.
I SO NEEDED...
SO NEEDED TO GAZE
UPON HER BEAUTY.
WHAT I WOULD HAVE GIVEN
TO SEE THE TENDEREST LOOK
OF AFFECTION FROM HER.
YET I KNEW WHAT--
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
IF SHE OPENED HER EYES
AND SAW ME.
IT WAS THEN THE MADNESS
CAME OVER ME.
I WANTED TO MAKE YOU SUFFER.
SO I CONDEMNED HER...
FOR THE MURDER
THAT I COMMITTED.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE KIND
OF CREATURE YOU CREATED?
A BLOT UPON THIS EARTH.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE AGONY
OF HOW IT IS TO BE REVILED
FOR HOW YOU LOOK?
WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?
IF YOU DO NOT OPEN
YOUR FAMILY TO ME,
THEN YOU MUST MAKE ME
ONE OF MY OWN.
YOU--YOU WANT A FAMILY?
A FEMALE.
YOU MUST MAKE A MATE
FOR ME.
NEVER.
YOU DARE DENY ME!
I DO NOT CARE
WHAT MISERY
OR TORTURE
YOU INFLICT ON ME.
I SHALL NEVER CREATE
ANOTHER MALICIOUS BEING
LIKE YOURSELF!
IF I CANNOT INSPIRE LOVE,
I WILL INSPIRE FEAR.
I WILL DESOLATE
YOUR HEART
UNTIL YOU CURSE THE HOUR
YOU WERE BORN!
YOU ARE A MONSTER.
THAT YOU CREATED, SIR.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THIS.
GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
YOU DID IT ONCE.
NOW DO IT AGAIN.
NO.
YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME ALONE
IN SUCH A CRUEL WORLD.
YOU ARE SAYING THAT...
IF I CONSENT--
THAT YOU WILL
NEVER SEE US!
EVER.
YOU SWEAR
TO BE HARMLESS?
FOR THE LOVE OF ANOTHER?
IT WOULD DESTROY
THE CAUSE OF ALL MY CRIMES.
I WILL COMPLY,
WITH ONE CONDITION...
THAT YOU LEAVE EUROPE
AND ALL OTHER
CIVILIZED PLACES...
FOREVER.
FOREVER.
IT WILL TAKE TIME...
SECRECY.
I CAN BE PATIENT.
HOW WILL I FIND YOU?
DON'T WORRY.
I WILL BE WATCHING.
AND YOU LEFT HIM
OUT THERE ALIVE?
I KNOW IT SOUNDS MAD...
WHEN EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING
WISHED HIM DESTROYED.
THEN WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT
THE VIRTUES
HE DISPLAYED ON THE DAWN
OF HIS EXISTENCE...
THE KINDNESS,
CARING, TRUST--
VIRTUES WHICH WERE
ALL BUT EXTINGUISHED
BY THE LOATHING
AND SCORN OF MANKIND...
I FOUND MYSELF UNABLE
TO DENY HIM...
LIKE ANY FATHER.
IT'S SUCH A LOVELY DAY.
YOU SHOULD BE
OUT THERE WITH HIM.
HE JUST WANTS TO BE
BY HIMSELF.
GIVE HIM TIME.
HE'LL COME BACK TO US.
WELL, HERE'S HENRY!
PERHAPS HE CAN CHEER HIM UP.
- HENRY!
- ALPHONSE.
HOW ARE YOU?
VERY WELL INDEED.
HOW IS YOUR MOTHER?
SO, HENRY,
WHEN ARE YOU RETURNING
TO INGOLSTADT?
ACTUALLY I'M NOT.
I'M TRAVELING
TO CONSTANTINOPLE.
CONSTANTINOPLE?
YES. I LEAVE
NEXT WEEK.
THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH
ONE CAN GLEAN
ABOUT THE CRUSADES
FROM HISTORY BOOKS.
HOW EXCITING.
IS IT NOT, VICTOR?
YES.
SO, I TAKE IT YOUR FATHER
HAS ADJUSTED
TO HAVING A SCHOLAR
IN THE FAMILY?
BEGRUDGINGLY.
HE INSISTS
I SCOUR THE MARKETS
FOR EXOTIC TRINKETS
THAT HE MAY IMPORT.
EXCUSE ME, I...
"DID I REQUEST THEE,
MASTER,
"FROM MY CLAY
TO MOLD ME MAN?
DID I SOLICIT THEE
FROM DARKNESS..."
"TO PROMOTE ME?"
No.
ELIZABETH!
ELIZABETH!
WHA--
HURRY!
HURRY!
VICTOR, PLEASE!
YOU'RE HURTING ME!
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I'M SORRY. I JUST
HAD A BAD FEELING.
LET'S GO INSIDE.
I HAVE TO GO AWAY AGAIN.
WHAT?
WHERE?
TO INGOLSTADT.
TO UNIVERSITY?
VICTOR,
WHAT IS THE MATTER?
YOU MUST TELL ME.
ELIZABETH,
DO YOU LOVE ME?
HOW CAN YOU
ASK ME THAT?
THEN TRUST ME.
I HAVE SOME MATTERS
LEFT UNDONE.
WHEN IT IS OVER
WE CAN BE TOGETHER.
HAH!
VICTOR, ARE YOU THERE?
WALDMAN.
IT'S TRUE
YOU HAVE RETURNED.
PLEASE.
MAY I COME IN?
WHAT DO YOU WANT, PROFESSOR?
WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?
TO PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING
ANOTHER HORRIBLE MISTAKE.
HAVE YOU ALREADY
FORGOTTEN WHAT WE DID,
HOW WE DEFIED
THE LAWS OF GOD?
I'VE NOT FORGOTTEN
ANYTHING,
BUT WE CANNOT
CHANGE THE PAST.
MAYBE NOT, BUT THE PRESENT
IS WITHIN OUR GRASP.
BRINGING LIFE
TO THE DEAD IS WRONG.
GO BACK AND DO WHAT YOU
DO BEST, PROFESSOR.
GO BACK AND TEACH.
I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED
YOU THE FIRST TIME.
FRANKENSTEIN!
HAH!
AAH!
DEAR GOD,
HENRY.
ARE YOU TRYING
TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHY ARE YOU NOT
IN CONSTANTINOPLE?
CHANGE OF PLANS.
ELIZABETH SENT YOU.
PLEASE DO NOT BE ANGRY.
SHE IS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU. WE ALL ARE.
WELL, YOU CAN REPORT
BACK THAT I AM FINE,
THAT YOU CANCELLED
YOUR TRIP FOR NOTHING.
VICTOR, I AM
YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND!
THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU
THE LICENSE TO INTERFERE.
WALK AWAY, VICTOR, BUT
I SIMPLY REFUSE TO LEAVE
UNTIL YOU TELL ME
WHAT IS GOING ON.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH
ANYTHING.
MY GOD, VICTOR,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY I MUST FINISH
THIS ONE LAST THING.
BUT UNLEASHING
ANOTHER ABOMINATION
UPON THE WORLD
IS MADNESS.
I GAVE MY WORD.
A WICKED PROMISE...
TO A MURDERER,
A MONSTER!
WHOM I CREATED.
YOU DID NOT KILL
WILLIAM AND JUSTINE.
YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.
I AM AS RESPONSIBLE
AS IF IT WERE MY HANDS
WRAPPED AROUND THEIR NECKS.
WHY DID YOU NOT
DESTROY THAT THING
WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE?
ALL HE WANTS IS TO LOVE
AND BE LOVED,
LIKE ANY HUMAN.
BUT HE IS NOT HUMAN!
AND YOU...
ARE NOT GOD, VICTOR.
AND WHAT ABOUT HER?
WHO KNOWS
WHAT SHE WILL WANT,
WHAT SHE WILL DEMAND?
OR GOD FORBID,
BEAR CHILDREN.
I NEED YOU
TO LEAVE NOW, HENRY.
VICTOR,
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU HAVE
MADE ONE MISTAKE.
DO NOT COMPOUND IT
BY INFLICTING
ANOTHER CURSE
UPON MANKIND!
OR WHO KNOWS
WHERE IT WILL END?
IFIT WILL END?
GO.
GO!
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
SHE IS PERFECT.
THERE IS SO MUCH
I WANT TO TELL YOU,
SHARE WITH YOU,
TEACH YOU ABOUT LIFE,
LOVE.
I HAVE MADE US A HOME,
OUR OWN SECRET PLACE
WHERE WE CAN LIVE
WITHOUT FEAR...
WITH OUR CHILDREN...
TOGETHER.
HOW MUCH LONGER?
I CAN'T BE SURE.
THERE HAVE BEEN...
COMPLICATIONS.
NO! I WANT HER NOW.
GIVE HER LIFE
LIKE YOU GAVE ME.
IT IS IN YOUR JOURNAL.
IT IS GONE.
WHAT IS?
MY JOURNAL.
I BURNED IT.
NO! NO!
GET IT OUT, PLEASE!
PLEASE, FATHER!
WHY?
WHY?!
NO!
NO! MY GOD, NO!
PLEASE!
NO! NO!
I CANNOT BE ALONE!
WHY? WHY?!
AAH!
YOU DARE BREAK
YOUR PROMISE!
REMEMBER, SIR,
I WILL BE
AT YOUR WEDDING NIGHT.
I GAVE YOU A CHANCE
TO GIVE ME HAPPINESS!
NOW...
I WILL TAKE YOURS.
NO!
NO!
NO, NO, NO!
NO!
VICTOR, IT IS ME.
OPEN UP.
I AM NOT LEAVING.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME?
DO YOU STILL
WANT TO HELP ME?
WITH WHAT?
DISPOSE OF HER BODY.
WHY?
YOU WERE RIGHT.
HERE.
STEADY, STEADY.
THIS WAY.
WE SHOULD TAKE IT OUT
TO THE MIDDLE
WHERE IT IS DEEPEST.
YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND,
HENRY.
BETTER THAN I DESERVE.
WHEN I THINK OF
ALL THE MISERY
I'VE BROUGHT UPON YOU...
VICTOR, ELIZABETH
IS WAITING FOR YOU.
GO BACK TO HER...
AND LIVE YOUR LIFE.
VICTOR,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LEAVE, HENRY.
THIS IS MY DEED.
ONLY I CAN FINISH THIS.
BUT LET ME HELP YOU.
YOU ALREADY HAVE.
I WILL SEE YOU
WHEN I RETURN.
I WILL BE WAITING,
VICTOR,
WITH THE FINEST
BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
MONEY CAN BUY.
THANK YOU.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
THERE'S BEEN A MURDER.
A STRANGER FITTING
YOUR DESCRIPTION
WAS SEEN DUMPING A BODY.
A MURDER?
NO, I--I CAN EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING.
SEE, I'M A--A STUDENT
AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF INGOLSTADT,
AND I WAS CONDUCTING
A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT.
AN EXPERIMENT?
NO.
NO!
SO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?
YES!
SINCE CHILDHOOD.
WE WERE LIKE BROTHERS.
MY DEAR, DEAR FRIEND.
WHAT HAPPENED?
NO. NO!
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME.
IT'S BETTER I LEAVE YOU
HERE TO ROT?
IT IS WHAT I DESERVE.
YOU DID NOT KILL HENRY.
AND THANKS TO ELIZABETH,
THE AUTHORITIES
NOW KNOW IT, TOO.
ELIZABETH IS HERE?
YES. SHE SPOKE TO THOSE
SO-CALLED EYEWITNESSES.
WHY DID YOU BRING HER?
WHY DID YOU LET HER COME?
AS IF I COULD KEEP HER AWAY,
AS IF ANYONE COULD.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND,
IT IS NOT SAFE HERE.
PAPERS ARE ALL SIGNED,
AND YOU'RE FREE TO GO.
VICTOR, DARLING.
COME ALONG,
WE'RE GOING HOME.
OPEN THE GATES BELOW!
OPEN THE GATES.
HUP! HUP!
MY LOVING FATHER
ONCE WARNED AGAINST
THE HYPOCRISY OF A MAN
WHO CEASES TO RECOGNIZE
THE ABYSS OF HIS DECEPTION.
WHY DID I NOT TELL ELIZABETH
AND MY FATHER THE TRUTH?
TO MY SHAME,
IT IS SOMETHING
I AM UNABLE TO EXPLAIN.
THOUGH IT IS INESCAPABLE,
MY GREATEST SIN...
WAS THE ONE TOLD IN SILENCE.
VICTOR.
I THINK I WILL
GO FOR A WALK.
I COULD JOIN YOU
IF YOU LIKE.
NO. I--I JUST NEED
SOME TIME.
I WILL BE WAITING, VICTOR,
WITH THE FINEST
BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
MONEY CAN BUY.
NO.
HENRY!
NO.
HE IS MY FRIEND--
SHH!
HENRY!
NO! HENRY!
NO!!
VICTOR...
WILL YOU
DO SOMETHING FOR ME?
TAKE ME FOR A RIDE, NOW.
AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
CERTAINLY.
VICTOR, MAY WE BE FRANK?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT US. OUR FUTURE.
I KNOW OUR UNION
HAS BEEN A DREAM OF
YOUR PARENTS AND THIS FAMILY.
BUT DO NOT FEEL HONOR BOUND
TO UPHOLD IT.
HONOR BOUND?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I AM NOT A LITTLE CHILD
WHO NEEDS PROTECTING.
I CAN FACE
THE TRUTH IF--
IF YOU LOVE ANOTHER.
WHAT?
THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.
THERE NEVER HAS BEEN.
YET SOMETHING PREVENTS YOU
FROM GIVING YOURSELF TO ME
COMPLETELY.
YES.
THERE IS A SECRET.
A DREADFUL ONE WHICH
I HAVE KEPT FROM YOU.
I KNOW EVERYTHING
I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU.
EXCEPT THIS.
THEY ALL DIED
BY MY HANDS--
WILLIAM,
JUSTINE, HENRY.
THAT IS MADNESS, VICTOR.
I WISH IT WERE.
EVEN GOD CAN BEAR
WITNESS TO MY TRUTH.
NO, YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME.
I REFUSE TO HEAR ANY MORE,
NOT ANOTHER WORD.
YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME
IF WE ARE TO BE MARRIED.
IF THERE'S ONE THING
I'M CERTAIN OF IN THIS WORLD
IT IS THAT THE MAN I LOVE
IS INCAPABLE OF
HARMING ANYTHING SO.
LET ME CONFESS THAT WHICH
I HAVE KEPT FROM YOU
BEFORE YOU DECIDE.
AFTER OUR WEDDING.
YOU CAN TELL ME
AFTER WE ARE MARRIED.
I LOVE YOU, AND YOU LOVE ME.
THERE ARE
NO EXCUSES NOT TO MARRY.
I SHALL NEVER
LEAVE YOUR SIDE.
NEVER AGAIN.
DEARLY BELOVED, WE ARE GATHERED
HERE TODAY BEFORE GOD
TO WITNESS THE UNION
OF VICTOR AND ELIZABETH.
WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED.
WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED.
WITH MY BODY,
I THEE WORSHIP.
WITH MY BODY,
I THEE WORSHIP.
AND WITH ALL MY WORLDLY GOODS,
I THEE ENDOW.
AND WITH ALL
MY WORLDLY GOODS,
I THEE ENDOW.
THOSE WHO GOD
HAS JOINED TOGETHER,
LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.
THEY'RE SO GRACIOUS
TOGETHER.
YOU ARE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL BRIDE
I HAVE EVER SEEN.
AND YOU ARE THE MOST
MYSTERIOUS GROOM.
ALL PART OF MY CHARM.
VICTOR, VICTOR,
MY BEAUTIFUL BOY.
WILLIAM.
REMEMBER, SIR,
I WILL BE
AT YOUR WEDDING NIGHT.
NO.
VICTOR--
WHAT IS IT?
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
YES, A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
THANK YOU.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO
LEAVE TONIGHT.
NO, I WANT TO.
EVERYTHING'S
BEEN ARRANGED.
THE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE
SO QUIET WITHOUT YOU TWO.
AFTER THESE
FEW HECTIC WEEKS,
IT MIGHT NOT BE
SUCH A BAD THING.
HAVE A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE.
THANK YOU, FATHER,
FOR EVERYTHING.
WE SHOULD LEAVE.
TAKE CARE OF VICTOR.
WHICH CARRIAGE
ARE YOU TAKING?
BOTH.
IF ANYONE SHOULD ASK,
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHERE WE HAVE GONE.
ARE WE RUNNING
FROM THE LAW?
NO.
YOU APPROVE?
YES.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAME.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
I WILL HAVE YOUR LUGGAGE
SENT UP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
VICTOR, LOOK.
WILL YOU BE
WANTING DINNER, SIR?
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.
YOU ARE SMILING.
BECAUSE I AM HAPPY.
I WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN.
YOU ARE MAD.
ABSOLUTELY MAD.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF WE JUST DISAPPEARED?
SAILED AWAY TO
SOME TROPICAL ISLAND?
WOULD THERE BE MONKEYS
TO ENTERTAIN US?
YES.
AND OUR 5 SPOILED
LITTLE BRATS.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN
TELL ME ANYTHING,
WHENEVER
YOU ARE READY.
I HAVE DONE
SOME THINGS, ELIZABETH,
THINGS I AM
NOT PROUD OF.
IN THE PURSUIT OF
KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE.
BUT I WENT TOO FAR.
FURTHER THAN ANY MAN
SHOULD GO IN NATURE.
DETERMINING
THE SECRET OF LIFE
BECAME MY OBSESSION,
SO I DUG UP THE DEAD,
SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS.
I CREATED...
I CREATED
A BODY WITHOUT LIFE,
AND I DISCOVERED
A CONNECTION
BETWEEN ELECTRICAL ENERGY
AND OUR LIFE FORCE.
SO I WAITED
FOR A BIG STORM
SO I COULD
HARNESS THE CURRENT,
INFUSE THE BODY WITH--
MY GOD.
VICTOR, WHAT--
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU ARE SCARING ME.
I THINK
WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED.
WHAT? BY WHO?
BY SOMEONE WHO IS INTENT
ON DESTROYING OUR HAPPINESS.
IT IS HIM, THE ONE
YOU'VE BEEN AFRAID OF.
STAY HERE.
WAIT UNTIL I RETURN.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
VICTOR?
ELIZABETH.
HOW I'VE LONGED
TO MEET YOU.
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN YOU ARE FROM AFAR.
WHO ARE YOU?
HE HAS NEVER
TOLD YOU ABOUT ME?
YOU MUST KNOW--
I HAVE TRIED TO
MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND
BUT HE HAS
GIVEN ME NO CHOICE.
HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOU.
HE MADE ME DO IT.
ELIZABETH.
AAH!
ELIZABETH!
I WILL FIND YOU!
GET OUT. GET OUT!
FORGIVE ME, MY LOVE.
FORGIVE ME.
SORRY, SIR.
YAH! YAH!
HE'S OUT THERE!
IN THE LAKE.
OVER THERE.
YES, THANK YOU.
GOOD-BYE.
EASY NOW.
FATHER.
ELIZABETH
ENDURED SO MUCH,
YET DESPITE
ALL HER HARDSHIP,
SHE WAS
FULL OF LOVE.
A MOST VIBRANT ONE,
SO LIKE
YOUR MOTHER.
THE DAY SHE
BROUGHT ELIZABETH HOME
WAS ONE OF
THE HAPPIEST OF MY LIFE.
DEATH PURSUES YOU
LIKE THE DEVIL.
EVER SINCE
YOU WERE A CHILD,
YOU WERE DRAWN TO IT
IN A WAY THAT WAS UNNATURAL.
FATHER, PLEASE.
LET US NOT QUARREL.
WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER.
WHOSE FAULT
IS THAT, SIR?!
NO NEED FOR YOU HERE
ANYMORE, VICTOR.
LISTEN.
THERE'S NO ONE
LEFT TO DIE.
I LOVE YOU...
BUT I DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU ARE.
INGOLSTADT.
THE ANCIENT SCIENTISTS
PROMISED IMPOSSIBILITIES
AND PERFORMED NOTHING.
THE MODERN MASTERS
PROMISE LITTLE...
YET PERFORM MIRACLES.
YOU ARE ALIVE.
I'VE HEARD
SO MANY RUMORS.
I DARE SAY YOU HAVE.
IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
BACK TO
YOUR OLD LIFE?
I'M SO SORRY
FOR YOUR MISFORTUNE.
I FEEL RESPONSIBLE.
RESPONSIBLE?
FOR ENCOURAGING YOU
TO DREAM.
IT'S A SOBERING EXPERIENCE,
FACING ONE'S LIMITATIONS.
I SPENT MY ENTIRE CAREER
URGING STUDENTS TO...
BREAK THE RULES,
ONLY TO REALIZE
I AM AS CONVENTIONAL
AS ALL THE REST.
I AM IN AWE OF YOU,
VICTOR...
OF ALL
YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
I CAN NEVER LIVE THERE.
NEVER.
NEITHER CAN I.
PLEASE, STAY.
FORGET ABOUT ME,
PROFESSOR...
AND ALL OF THE PAIN
I'VE CAUSED.
NO.
I'LL TAKE IT
FOR YOU, SIR.
THERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
IT IS HIM.
WE MUST TURN TO
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
PLEASE.
PLEASE.
WHEN DID YOU SEE HIM?
YOU KNOW
WHO HE IS.
HE IS A MONSTER.
A HELLHOUND.
POOR CHILD.
SHE IS WITH GOD.
HE THRIVES
ON THE INNOCENT.
HE'S THE ONE.
HE LEFT SOMETHING
BEHIND FOR YOU.
FOR ME?
HE KNEW YOU'D BE COMING.
"MY REIGN
IS NOT YET OVER."
PUT AWAY YOUR GUNS.
I DOUBT HE WILL
BE RETURNING.
"FATHER, EAT.
YOU NEED YOUR STRENGTH."
QUIET.
THESE ARE GOOD DOGS.
IS THAT HOW
YOU'RE TRAVELING?
YES.
NOT VERY PRACTICAL,
I'M AFRAID.
DEPENDS WHAT
YOU'RE HUNTING FOR.
THE DEVIL.
GO! GO!
GO!
GO!
FASTER.
FASTER!
HOLD ON! HOLD!
TRACKS.
WHAT IS IT?
WHO'S THERE?!
THERE!
There!
FOLLOW ME, FATHER.
YAH!
YAH!
YAH!
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY I AM HERE.
AND WHY
I WILL NOT REST
IF HE IS OUT THERE
AMONG THE LIVING.
HE WON'T SURVIVE
LONG OUT THERE.
NOT IN THESE
CONDITIONS.
I USED TO BELIEVE
MYSELF DESTINED
FOR SOME
GREAT ENTERPRISE.
ALL I HAVE BROUGHT
IS DESTRUCTION.
SWEAR TO ME.
SWEAR THAT YOU WILL
NEVER LET HIM ESCAPE,
THAT YOU WILL PUT AN END
TO HIS REIGN OF TERROR.
I WILL DO WHAT I CAN
TO HELP YOU FIND HIM.
NO.
YOU MUST KILL HIM.
YOU MUST PROMISE ME
HE WILL BE DESTROYED.
THEN MY TIME ON EARTH
WILL BE COMPLETE.
SO AS SOON
AS THE ICE BREAKS...
WE'RE HEADING BACK.
HENRY, IS THAT YOU?
WALTON.
ROBERT WALTON.
WHAT IS IT?
WHY DO THEY SHOUT?
THEY'RE GOING HOME.
HOME.
HOME.
DO SO IF YOU WILL,
BUT I WILL NOT.
I'M GOING TO
FIND YOU A DOCTOR,
GIVE YOU BACK YOUR LIFE.
NO, MY TASK IS ASSIGNED
TO ME BY HEAVEN.
YOU CAME BACK.
ELIZABETH, FORGIVE ME.
HURRY HOME.
WHAT?
WITHOUT DELAY.
CAPTAIN!
IS IT OVER?
ANY SIGN?
NOTHING.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.
DO YOU THINK
I RAN AWAY, FATHER,
THAT I ABANDONED YOU
THE WAY YOU ABANDONED ME?
I NEVER WANTED MUCH.
"DID I REQUEST THEE, MAKER,
FROM MY CLAY
TO MOLD ME MAN?"
"DID I SOLICIT THEE
FROM DARKNESS
TO PROMOTE ME?"
ASTONISHING.
HE IS COLD.
HE IS DEAD.
WHO DID THIS TO HIM?
YOU DID.
YOU ARE DEAD.
NOW...
EVEN MY OWN FATHER
HAS ABANDONED ME.
HE HAS
ABANDONED THE PAIN
YOU HAVE CAUSED HIM.
BUT WHAT WOULD
THE LIKES OF YOU
KNOW OF AGONY
AND REMORSE?
DO YOU BELIEVE, SIR...
DO YOU BELIEVE I AM NUMB
TO AGONY AND REMORSE?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
SOUND OF ELIZABETH'S CRIES
WERE MUSIC TO MY EARS?
DO YOU DREAM,
DEAR CAPTAIN?
YES, OF COURSE.
I DREAMED ONCE...
TO LOVE.
TO BE LOVED.
BUT YOU ARE
A SLAVE TO VENGEANCE.
IS THERE A MAN
THAT DOES NOT
BATTLE TEMPTATION
EVERY DAY?
CHRIST DID NOT
RESORT TO VENGEANCE
WHEN MANKIND
SINNED AGAINST HIM.
HIS FATHER LOVED HIM,
SIR.
MY FATHER DESPISED ME,
AS YOU MAY DESPISE ME,
CAPTAIN.
BUT NEVER...
NEVER AS MUCH
AS I DESPISE MYSELF.
CAPTAIN.
NO.
THESE HANDS HAVE
MURDERED THE INNOCENT.
THEY HAVE CAUSED
SUCH SUFFERING.
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT.
"O WELCOME HOUR."
"O WELCOME HOUR."
VICTOR!
WILLIAM'S MURDERER
HAS BEEN APPREHENDED.
THEY HAVE CAUGHT HIM?
NOT HIM...
HER.
JUSTINE.
JUSTINE?
THIS WAS HIDDEN
AMONG HER POSSESSIONS.
DEAR GOD.
JUSTINE HAD NO REASON
TO STEAL IT.
IF SHE HAD WANTED
THE CAMEO,
I WOULD GLADLY
HAVE GIVEN IT TO HER.
AND HOW ELSE COULD
SHE HAVE OBTAINED IT
IF NOT FROM THE BOY?
ANY NUMBER OF WAYS.
THE EVIDENCE
IS AGAINST HER.
JUSTINE IS NO MURDERER.
SHE'S JUST
A SERVANT GIRL.
WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING
HER SO VEHEMENTLY?
SHE IS NOT JUST
A SERVANT GIRL!
SHE IS PART
OF OUR FAMILY!
IF YOU ARE NOT BLOOD,
YOU ARE NOT FAMILY.
ANYWAY...
THE GIRL CONFESSED.
POMPOUS, ARROGANT BUREAUCRAT!
ALL HE CRAVES
IS AN EXPEDITIOUS CONVICTION!
YOU KNOW I LOVE JUSTINE,
BUT SHE CONFESSED
TO MURDER.
SHE IS NOT.
I KNOW IT FOR A FACT!
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I KNOW JUSTINE.
YOU MUST ALL DESPISE ME...
BUT I NEVER HARMED ANYONE.
YOU MUST BELIEVE ME.
FATHER BEAUFORT...
DID HE COERCE YOU
INTO CONFESSING?
I--I WAS SO CONFUSED.
SELF-RIGHTEOUS
BUREAUCRATS.
ONLY GOD
KNOWS I'M INNOCENT.
I KNOW IT, TOO.
I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE COURT
HAS DECREED.
CERTAINLY NEW EVIDENCE
MUST BE CONSIDERED.
WHICH IS WHAT?
THAT SOME
MONSTROUS CREATURE
MURDERED
YOUR BROTHER,
AND HE'S TAKING
REFUGE IN THE WOODS?
YES! SEND OUT
A SEARCH PARTY NOW
BEFORE THE DEMON
PERPETRATES ANY MORE CRIMES!
IT'S QUITE
A FANTASTIC STORY.
HE IS REAL.
HERR FRANKENSTEIN...
JUSTICE IS DONE.
PEACE
BE WITH YOU, WOMAN.
MAY THE LORD'S MERCY
SHINE UPON YOU
FOR YOUR CRIMES.
OUR FATHER
WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE,
ON EARTH AS IT IS
IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD
AND FORGIVE US
OUR TRESPASSES
AS WE FORGIVE THOSE
WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US
AND LEAD US NOT...
AMEN.
MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY
ON YOUR SOUL.
NO!
KNOWING
WHAT YOU KNEW,
YOU ALLOWED THEM
TO HANG HER.
HOW COULD YOU, SIR?
I DID EVERYTHING I COULD,
EVERYTHING IN MY POWER
TO SAVE JUSTINE...
BUT I HAD NO EVIDENCE.
THEY PREFERRED TO EXECUTE
AN INNOCENT SERVANT GIRL
RATHER THAN BELIEVE
THERE WAS A MONSTER
IN THEIR MIDST.
POOR CHILD.
JUSTINE...
FORGIVE ME.
FORGIVE ME.
Please...
COME FIND ME...
My father.
TAKE CARE OF THEM, HENRY.
IT IS SELFISH
OF YOU TO GO.
THIS FAMILY HAS BEEN
THROUGH ENOUGH PAIN.
AND IF I DO NOT GO,
THERE WILL BE MORE PAIN
THAN ANYONE CAN BEAR.
VICTOR, DO NOT GO!
THE WORLD
IS A MISERABLE PLACE, HENRY.
MUCH MORE
THAN I EVER THOUGHT.
I KNOW YOU ARE THERE.
AND YOU WERE NOT
FILLED WITH FEAR
OF WHAT HE MIGHT
DO TO YOU?
I WAS READY TO DIE...
TO TAKE HIM
WITH ME TO HELL...
BUT HE HAD OTHER PLANS.
WHAT?
TO MAKE ME UNDERSTAND
THE NATURE OF HIS CRIMES...
AND MINE.
SHOW YOURSELF!
FATHER.
UNH!
WRETCHED DEVIL!
IS THIS HOW
YOU WISH TO DIE?
HOW YOU'LL SPEND
YOUR LAST FEW HOURS
BEFORE GOD?
YOU--
Y-YOU CAN SPEAK.
YOU REALLY THINK
WE'RE SO DIFFERENT?
I AM FLESH AND BLOOD,
ENDOWED WITH PERCEPTIONS,
PASSIONS--
AND A MURDEROUS SOUL!
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THAT?!
FOR FILLING MY HEART
WITH SUCH ANGER?
I CURSE THE DAY
YOU FIRST SAW LIGHT!
I CURSE THESE HANDS
THAT GAVE YOU LIFE!
YOU ACCUSE ME OF MURDER,
YET YOU WOULD DESTROY
YOUR OWN CREATION?
YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION.
THE WORLD
HAS REJECTED ME.
I HOPED...
MY FATHER WOULD NOT.
I AM NOT YOUR FATHER.
YOU MADE ME WHAT I AM!
YOU STITCHED ME TOGETHER
FROM DEATH AND DECAY.
A MISTAKE,
A DREADFUL MISTAKE!
WHICH I MUST PAY FOR!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THE LONELINESS
I HAVE ENDURED?
AND SO YOU SOUGHT
YOUR VENGEANCE ON WILLIAM.
I NEVER INTENDED
TO HARM HIM...
NOT LIKE THAT.
IT WAS YOU
I WENT HOME TO FIND.
THE FIRST ONE I SAW
WAS THE LITTLE ONE.
WILLIAM FRANKENSTEIN,
COME OUT HERE NOW!
SO I FOLLOWED HIM
AND WAITED
UNTIL HE WAS ALONE.
STOP. YOU MUST WAIT.
I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU.
ELIZABETH!
PLEASE.
NO!
LET ME GO, MONSTER!
PLEASE!
HIS EYES.
YOU HAVE HIS EYES.
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME.
PLEASE!
I DON'T WANT
TO HURT YOU.
ELIZABETH!
SOMEBODY!
YOU MUST BE QUIET.
SOMEBODY!
I NEED TO SEE HIM.
ELIZABETH!
I MUST SPEAK WITH
VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN.
YOU ARE HIS FAMILY.
I KNOW YOU
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
HE USED TO BRING--
NO!
PLEASE! WAKE UP.
WAKE UP!
Please.
MY GOD!
HE WAS GONE.
MY BROTHER
WAS JUST A CHILD.
AN INNOCENT.
WHAT DID YOU DO
TO JUSTINE?
WILLIAM!
WILLIAM!
WILLIAM!
SHE SPENT THE REST
OF THE DAY AND NIGHT
CALLING OUT FOR WILLIAM.
I FELT AN UNEXPLAINABLE
COMPULSION
TO FOLLOW HER.
I--I KNOW
I SHOULD HAVE FLED
FROM WHAT I'D DONE
TO THE SWEET BOY,
BUT I--I YEARNED--
YEARNED TO BE NEAR HER.
I WAITED OUT
IN THE COLD NIGHT
UNTIL I COULD
NO LONGER WAIT.
I SO NEEDED...
SO NEEDED TO GAZE
UPON HER BEAUTY.
WHAT I WOULD HAVE GIVEN
TO SEE THE TENDEREST LOOK
OF AFFECTION FROM HER.
YET I KNEW WHAT--
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
IF SHE OPENED HER EYES
AND SAW ME.
IT WAS THEN THE MADNESS
CAME OVER ME.
I WANTED TO MAKE YOU SUFFER.
SO I CONDEMNED HER...
FOR THE MURDER
THAT I COMMITTED.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE KIND
OF CREATURE YOU CREATED?
A BLOT UPON THIS EARTH.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE AGONY
OF HOW IT IS TO BE REVILED
FOR HOW YOU LOOK?
WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?
IF YOU DO NOT OPEN
YOUR FAMILY TO ME,
THEN YOU MUST MAKE ME
ONE OF MY OWN.
YOU--YOU WANT A FAMILY?
A FEMALE.
YOU MUST MAKE A MATE
FOR ME.
NEVER.
YOU DARE DENY ME!
I DO NOT CARE
WHAT MISERY
OR TORTURE
YOU INFLICT ON ME.
I SHALL NEVER CREATE
ANOTHER MALICIOUS BEING
LIKE YOURSELF!
IF I CANNOT INSPIRE LOVE,
I WILL INSPIRE FEAR.
I WILL DESOLATE
YOUR HEART
UNTIL YOU CURSE THE HOUR
YOU WERE BORN!
YOU ARE A MONSTER.
THAT YOU CREATED, SIR.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THIS.
GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
YOU DID IT ONCE.
NOW DO IT AGAIN.
NO.
YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME ALONE
IN SUCH A CRUEL WORLD.
YOU ARE SAYING THAT...
IF I CONSENT--
THAT YOU WILL
NEVER SEE US!
EVER.
YOU SWEAR
TO BE HARMLESS?
FOR THE LOVE OF ANOTHER?
IT WOULD DESTROY
THE CAUSE OF ALL MY CRIMES.
I WILL COMPLY,
WITH ONE CONDITION...
THAT YOU LEAVE EUROPE
AND ALL OTHER
CIVILIZED PLACES...
FOREVER.
FOREVER.
IT WILL TAKE TIME...
SECRECY.
I CAN BE PATIENT.
HOW WILL I FIND YOU?
DON'T WORRY.
I WILL BE WATCHING.
AND YOU LEFT HIM
OUT THERE ALIVE?
I KNOW IT SOUNDS MAD...
WHEN EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING
WISHED HIM DESTROYED.
THEN WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT
THE VIRTUES
HE DISPLAYED ON THE DAWN
OF HIS EXISTENCE...
THE KINDNESS,
CARING, TRUST--
VIRTUES WHICH WERE
ALL BUT EXTINGUISHED
BY THE LOATHING
AND SCORN OF MANKIND...
I FOUND MYSELF UNABLE
TO DENY HIM...
LIKE ANY FATHER.
IT'S SUCH A LOVELY DAY.
YOU SHOULD BE
OUT THERE WITH HIM.
HE JUST WANTS TO BE
BY HIMSELF.
GIVE HIM TIME.
HE'LL COME BACK TO US.
WELL, HERE'S HENRY!
PERHAPS HE CAN CHEER HIM UP.
- HENRY!
- ALPHONSE.
HOW ARE YOU?
VERY WELL INDEED.
HOW IS YOUR MOTHER?
SO, HENRY,
WHEN ARE YOU RETURNING
TO INGOLSTADT?
ACTUALLY I'M NOT.
I'M TRAVELING
TO CONSTANTINOPLE.
CONSTANTINOPLE?
YES. I LEAVE
NEXT WEEK.
THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH
ONE CAN GLEAN
ABOUT THE CRUSADES
FROM HISTORY BOOKS.
HOW EXCITING.
IS IT NOT, VICTOR?
YES.
SO, I TAKE IT YOUR FATHER
HAS ADJUSTED
TO HAVING A SCHOLAR
IN THE FAMILY?
BEGRUDGINGLY.
HE INSISTS
I SCOUR THE MARKETS
FOR EXOTIC TRINKETS
THAT HE MAY IMPORT.
EXCUSE ME, I...
"DID I REQUEST THEE,
MASTER,
"FROM MY CLAY
TO MOLD ME MAN?
DID I SOLICIT THEE
FROM DARKNESS..."
"TO PROMOTE ME?"
No.
ELIZABETH!
ELIZABETH!
WHA--
HURRY!
HURRY!
VICTOR, PLEASE!
YOU'RE HURTING ME!
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I'M SORRY. I JUST
HAD A BAD FEELING.
LET'S GO INSIDE.
I HAVE TO GO AWAY AGAIN.
WHAT?
WHERE?
TO INGOLSTADT.
TO UNIVERSITY?
VICTOR,
WHAT IS THE MATTER?
YOU MUST TELL ME.
ELIZABETH,
DO YOU LOVE ME?
HOW CAN YOU
ASK ME THAT?
THEN TRUST ME.
I HAVE SOME MATTERS
LEFT UNDONE.
WHEN IT IS OVER
WE CAN BE TOGETHER.
HAH!
VICTOR, ARE YOU THERE?
WALDMAN.
IT'S TRUE
YOU HAVE RETURNED.
PLEASE.
MAY I COME IN?
WHAT DO YOU WANT, PROFESSOR?
WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE?
TO PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING
ANOTHER HORRIBLE MISTAKE.
HAVE YOU ALREADY
FORGOTTEN WHAT WE DID,
HOW WE DEFIED
THE LAWS OF GOD?
I'VE NOT FORGOTTEN
ANYTHING,
BUT WE CANNOT
CHANGE THE PAST.
MAYBE NOT, BUT THE PRESENT
IS WITHIN OUR GRASP.
BRINGING LIFE
TO THE DEAD IS WRONG.
GO BACK AND DO WHAT YOU
DO BEST, PROFESSOR.
GO BACK AND TEACH.
I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED
YOU THE FIRST TIME.
FRANKENSTEIN!
HAH!
AAH!
DEAR GOD,
HENRY.
ARE YOU TRYING
TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHY ARE YOU NOT
IN CONSTANTINOPLE?
CHANGE OF PLANS.
ELIZABETH SENT YOU.
PLEASE DO NOT BE ANGRY.
SHE IS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU. WE ALL ARE.
WELL, YOU CAN REPORT
BACK THAT I AM FINE,
THAT YOU CANCELLED
YOUR TRIP FOR NOTHING.
VICTOR, I AM
YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND!
THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU
THE LICENSE TO INTERFERE.
WALK AWAY, VICTOR, BUT
I SIMPLY REFUSE TO LEAVE
UNTIL YOU TELL ME
WHAT IS GOING ON.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH
ANYTHING.
MY GOD, VICTOR,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY I MUST FINISH
THIS ONE LAST THING.
BUT UNLEASHING
ANOTHER ABOMINATION
UPON THE WORLD
IS MADNESS.
I GAVE MY WORD.
A WICKED PROMISE...
TO A MURDERER,
A MONSTER!
WHOM I CREATED.
YOU DID NOT KILL
WILLIAM AND JUSTINE.
YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.
I AM AS RESPONSIBLE
AS IF IT WERE MY HANDS
WRAPPED AROUND THEIR NECKS.
WHY DID YOU NOT
DESTROY THAT THING
WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE?
ALL HE WANTS IS TO LOVE
AND BE LOVED,
LIKE ANY HUMAN.
BUT HE IS NOT HUMAN!
AND YOU...
ARE NOT GOD, VICTOR.
AND WHAT ABOUT HER?
WHO KNOWS
WHAT SHE WILL WANT,
WHAT SHE WILL DEMAND?
OR GOD FORBID,
BEAR CHILDREN.
I NEED YOU
TO LEAVE NOW, HENRY.
VICTOR,
LISTEN TO ME.
YOU HAVE
MADE ONE MISTAKE.
DO NOT COMPOUND IT
BY INFLICTING
ANOTHER CURSE
UPON MANKIND!
OR WHO KNOWS
WHERE IT WILL END?
IFIT WILL END?
GO.
GO!
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
SHE IS PERFECT.
THERE IS SO MUCH
I WANT TO TELL YOU,
SHARE WITH YOU,
TEACH YOU ABOUT LIFE,
LOVE.
I HAVE MADE US A HOME,
OUR OWN SECRET PLACE
WHERE WE CAN LIVE
WITHOUT FEAR...
WITH OUR CHILDREN...
TOGETHER.
HOW MUCH LONGER?
I CAN'T BE SURE.
THERE HAVE BEEN...
COMPLICATIONS.
NO! I WANT HER NOW.
GIVE HER LIFE
LIKE YOU GAVE ME.
IT IS IN YOUR JOURNAL.
IT IS GONE.
WHAT IS?
MY JOURNAL.
I BURNED IT.
NO! NO!
GET IT OUT, PLEASE!
PLEASE, FATHER!
WHY?
WHY?!
NO!
NO! MY GOD, NO!
PLEASE!
NO! NO!
I CANNOT BE ALONE!
WHY? WHY?!
AAH!
YOU DARE BREAK
YOUR PROMISE!
REMEMBER, SIR,
I WILL BE
AT YOUR WEDDING NIGHT.
I GAVE YOU A CHANCE
TO GIVE ME HAPPINESS!
NOW...
I WILL TAKE YOURS.
NO!
NO!
NO, NO, NO!
NO!
VICTOR, IT IS ME.
OPEN UP.
I AM NOT LEAVING.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME?
DO YOU STILL
WANT TO HELP ME?
WITH WHAT?
DISPOSE OF HER BODY.
WHY?
YOU WERE RIGHT.
HERE.
STEADY, STEADY.
THIS WAY.
WE SHOULD TAKE IT OUT
TO THE MIDDLE
WHERE IT IS DEEPEST.
YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND,
HENRY.
BETTER THAN I DESERVE.
WHEN I THINK OF
ALL THE MISERY
I'VE BROUGHT UPON YOU...
VICTOR, ELIZABETH
IS WAITING FOR YOU.
GO BACK TO HER...
AND LIVE YOUR LIFE.
VICTOR,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LEAVE, HENRY.
THIS IS MY DEED.
ONLY I CAN FINISH THIS.
BUT LET ME HELP YOU.
YOU ALREADY HAVE.
I WILL SEE YOU
WHEN I RETURN.
I WILL BE WAITING,
VICTOR,
WITH THE FINEST
BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
MONEY CAN BUY.
THANK YOU.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
THERE'S BEEN A MURDER.
A STRANGER FITTING
YOUR DESCRIPTION
WAS SEEN DUMPING A BODY.
A MURDER?
NO, I--I CAN EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING.
SEE, I'M A--A STUDENT
AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF INGOLSTADT,
AND I WAS CONDUCTING
A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT.
AN EXPERIMENT?
NO.
NO!
SO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?
YES!
SINCE CHILDHOOD.
WE WERE LIKE BROTHERS.
MY DEAR, DEAR FRIEND.
WHAT HAPPENED?
NO. NO!
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME.
IT'S BETTER I LEAVE YOU
HERE TO ROT?
IT IS WHAT I DESERVE.
YOU DID NOT KILL HENRY.
AND THANKS TO ELIZABETH,
THE AUTHORITIES
NOW KNOW IT, TOO.
ELIZABETH IS HERE?
YES. SHE SPOKE TO THOSE
SO-CALLED EYEWITNESSES.
WHY DID YOU BRING HER?
WHY DID YOU LET HER COME?
AS IF I COULD KEEP HER AWAY,
AS IF ANYONE COULD.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND,
IT IS NOT SAFE HERE.
PAPERS ARE ALL SIGNED,
AND YOU'RE FREE TO GO.
VICTOR, DARLING.
COME ALONG,
WE'RE GOING HOME.
OPEN THE GATES BELOW!
OPEN THE GATES.
HUP! HUP!
MY LOVING FATHER
ONCE WARNED AGAINST
THE HYPOCRISY OF A MAN
WHO CEASES TO RECOGNIZE
THE ABYSS OF HIS DECEPTION.
WHY DID I NOT TELL ELIZABETH
AND MY FATHER THE TRUTH?
TO MY SHAME,
IT IS SOMETHING
I AM UNABLE TO EXPLAIN.
THOUGH IT IS INESCAPABLE,
MY GREATEST SIN...
WAS THE ONE TOLD IN SILENCE.
VICTOR.
I THINK I WILL
GO FOR A WALK.
I COULD JOIN YOU
IF YOU LIKE.
NO. I--I JUST NEED
SOME TIME.
I WILL BE WAITING, VICTOR,
WITH THE FINEST
BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
MONEY CAN BUY.
NO.
HENRY!
NO.
HE IS MY FRIEND--
SHH!
HENRY!
NO! HENRY!
NO!!
VICTOR...
WILL YOU
DO SOMETHING FOR ME?
TAKE ME FOR A RIDE, NOW.
AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
CERTAINLY.
VICTOR, MAY WE BE FRANK?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT US. OUR FUTURE.
I KNOW OUR UNION
HAS BEEN A DREAM OF
YOUR PARENTS AND THIS FAMILY.
BUT DO NOT FEEL HONOR BOUND
TO UPHOLD IT.
HONOR BOUND?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I AM NOT A LITTLE CHILD
WHO NEEDS PROTECTING.
I CAN FACE
THE TRUTH IF--
IF YOU LOVE ANOTHER.
WHAT?
THERE IS NO ONE ELSE.
THERE NEVER HAS BEEN.
YET SOMETHING PREVENTS YOU
FROM GIVING YOURSELF TO ME
COMPLETELY.
YES.
THERE IS A SECRET.
A DREADFUL ONE WHICH
I HAVE KEPT FROM YOU.
I KNOW EVERYTHING
I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU.
EXCEPT THIS.
THEY ALL DIED
BY MY HANDS--
WILLIAM,
JUSTINE, HENRY.
THAT IS MADNESS, VICTOR.
I WISH IT WERE.
EVEN GOD CAN BEAR
WITNESS TO MY TRUTH.
NO, YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME.
I REFUSE TO HEAR ANY MORE,
NOT ANOTHER WORD.
YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME
IF WE ARE TO BE MARRIED.
IF THERE'S ONE THING
I'M CERTAIN OF IN THIS WORLD
IT IS THAT THE MAN I LOVE
IS INCAPABLE OF
HARMING ANYTHING SO.
LET ME CONFESS THAT WHICH
I HAVE KEPT FROM YOU
BEFORE YOU DECIDE.
AFTER OUR WEDDING.
YOU CAN TELL ME
AFTER WE ARE MARRIED.
I LOVE YOU, AND YOU LOVE ME.
THERE ARE
NO EXCUSES NOT TO MARRY.
I SHALL NEVER
LEAVE YOUR SIDE.
NEVER AGAIN.
DEARLY BELOVED, WE ARE GATHERED
HERE TODAY BEFORE GOD
TO WITNESS THE UNION
OF VICTOR AND ELIZABETH.
WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED.
WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED.
WITH MY BODY,
I THEE WORSHIP.
WITH MY BODY,
I THEE WORSHIP.
AND WITH ALL MY WORLDLY GOODS,
I THEE ENDOW.
AND WITH ALL
MY WORLDLY GOODS,
I THEE ENDOW.
THOSE WHO GOD
HAS JOINED TOGETHER,
LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.
THEY'RE SO GRACIOUS
TOGETHER.
YOU ARE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL BRIDE
I HAVE EVER SEEN.
AND YOU ARE THE MOST
MYSTERIOUS GROOM.
ALL PART OF MY CHARM.
VICTOR, VICTOR,
MY BEAUTIFUL BOY.
WILLIAM.
REMEMBER, SIR,
I WILL BE
AT YOUR WEDDING NIGHT.
NO.
VICTOR--
WHAT IS IT?
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
YES, A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
THANK YOU.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO
LEAVE TONIGHT.
NO, I WANT TO.
EVERYTHING'S
BEEN ARRANGED.
THE HOUSE IS GOING TO BE
SO QUIET WITHOUT YOU TWO.
AFTER THESE
FEW HECTIC WEEKS,
IT MIGHT NOT BE
SUCH A BAD THING.
HAVE A WONDERFUL ADVENTURE.
THANK YOU, FATHER,
FOR EVERYTHING.
WE SHOULD LEAVE.
TAKE CARE OF VICTOR.
WHICH CARRIAGE
ARE YOU TAKING?
BOTH.
IF ANYONE SHOULD ASK,
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHERE WE HAVE GONE.
ARE WE RUNNING
FROM THE LAW?
NO.
YOU APPROVE?
YES.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAME.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
I WILL HAVE YOUR LUGGAGE
SENT UP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
VICTOR, LOOK.
WILL YOU BE
WANTING DINNER, SIR?
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.
YOU ARE SMILING.
BECAUSE I AM HAPPY.
I WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN.
YOU ARE MAD.
ABSOLUTELY MAD.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF WE JUST DISAPPEARED?
SAILED AWAY TO
SOME TROPICAL ISLAND?
WOULD THERE BE MONKEYS
TO ENTERTAIN US?
YES.
AND OUR 5 SPOILED
LITTLE BRATS.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN
TELL ME ANYTHING,
WHENEVER
YOU ARE READY.
I HAVE DONE
SOME THINGS, ELIZABETH,
THINGS I AM
NOT PROUD OF.
IN THE PURSUIT OF
KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE.
BUT I WENT TOO FAR.
FURTHER THAN ANY MAN
SHOULD GO IN NATURE.
DETERMINING
THE SECRET OF LIFE
BECAME MY OBSESSION,
SO I DUG UP THE DEAD,
SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS.
I CREATED...
I CREATED
A BODY WITHOUT LIFE,
AND I DISCOVERED
A CONNECTION
BETWEEN ELECTRICAL ENERGY
AND OUR LIFE FORCE.
SO I WAITED
FOR A BIG STORM
SO I COULD
HARNESS THE CURRENT,
INFUSE THE BODY WITH--
MY GOD.
VICTOR, WHAT--
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU ARE SCARING ME.
I THINK
WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED.
WHAT? BY WHO?
BY SOMEONE WHO IS INTENT
ON DESTROYING OUR HAPPINESS.
IT IS HIM, THE ONE
YOU'VE BEEN AFRAID OF.
STAY HERE.
WAIT UNTIL I RETURN.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
VICTOR?
ELIZABETH.
HOW I'VE LONGED
TO MEET YOU.
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN YOU ARE FROM AFAR.
WHO ARE YOU?
HE HAS NEVER
TOLD YOU ABOUT ME?
YOU MUST KNOW--
I HAVE TRIED TO
MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND
BUT HE HAS
GIVEN ME NO CHOICE.
HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOU.
HE MADE ME DO IT.
ELIZABETH.
AAH!
ELIZABETH!
I WILL FIND YOU!
GET OUT. GET OUT!
FORGIVE ME, MY LOVE.
FORGIVE ME.
SORRY, SIR.
YAH! YAH!
HE'S OUT THERE!
IN THE LAKE.
OVER THERE.
YES, THANK YOU.
GOOD-BYE.
EASY NOW.
FATHER.
ELIZABETH
ENDURED SO MUCH,
YET DESPITE
ALL HER HARDSHIP,
SHE WAS
FULL OF LOVE.
A MOST VIBRANT ONE,
SO LIKE
YOUR MOTHER.
THE DAY SHE
BROUGHT ELIZABETH HOME
WAS ONE OF
THE HAPPIEST OF MY LIFE.
DEATH PURSUES YOU
LIKE THE DEVIL.
EVER SINCE
YOU WERE A CHILD,
YOU WERE DRAWN TO IT
IN A WAY THAT WAS UNNATURAL.
FATHER, PLEASE.
LET US NOT QUARREL.
WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER.
WHOSE FAULT
IS THAT, SIR?!
NO NEED FOR YOU HERE
ANYMORE, VICTOR.
LISTEN.
THERE'S NO ONE
LEFT TO DIE.
I LOVE YOU...
BUT I DON'T KNOW
WHO YOU ARE.
INGOLSTADT.
THE ANCIENT SCIENTISTS
PROMISED IMPOSSIBILITIES
AND PERFORMED NOTHING.
THE MODERN MASTERS
PROMISE LITTLE...
YET PERFORM MIRACLES.
YOU ARE ALIVE.
I'VE HEARD
SO MANY RUMORS.
I DARE SAY YOU HAVE.
IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
BACK TO
YOUR OLD LIFE?
I'M SO SORRY
FOR YOUR MISFORTUNE.
I FEEL RESPONSIBLE.
RESPONSIBLE?
FOR ENCOURAGING YOU
TO DREAM.
IT'S A SOBERING EXPERIENCE,
FACING ONE'S LIMITATIONS.
I SPENT MY ENTIRE CAREER
URGING STUDENTS TO...
BREAK THE RULES,
ONLY TO REALIZE
I AM AS CONVENTIONAL
AS ALL THE REST.
I AM IN AWE OF YOU,
VICTOR...
OF ALL
YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
I CAN NEVER LIVE THERE.
NEVER.
NEITHER CAN I.
PLEASE, STAY.
FORGET ABOUT ME,
PROFESSOR...
AND ALL OF THE PAIN
I'VE CAUSED.
NO.
I'LL TAKE IT
FOR YOU, SIR.
THERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
IT IS HIM.
WE MUST TURN TO
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
PLEASE.
PLEASE.
WHEN DID YOU SEE HIM?
YOU KNOW
WHO HE IS.
HE IS A MONSTER.
A HELLHOUND.
POOR CHILD.
SHE IS WITH GOD.
HE THRIVES
ON THE INNOCENT.
HE'S THE ONE.
HE LEFT SOMETHING
BEHIND FOR YOU.
FOR ME?
HE KNEW YOU'D BE COMING.
"MY REIGN
IS NOT YET OVER."
PUT AWAY YOUR GUNS.
I DOUBT HE WILL
BE RETURNING.
"FATHER, EAT.
YOU NEED YOUR STRENGTH."
QUIET.
THESE ARE GOOD DOGS.
IS THAT HOW
YOU'RE TRAVELING?
YES.
NOT VERY PRACTICAL,
I'M AFRAID.
DEPENDS WHAT
YOU'RE HUNTING FOR.
THE DEVIL.
GO! GO!
GO!
GO!
FASTER.
FASTER!
HOLD ON! HOLD!
TRACKS.
WHAT IS IT?
WHO'S THERE?!
THERE!
There!
FOLLOW ME, FATHER.
YAH!
YAH!
YAH!
NOW YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY I AM HERE.
AND WHY
I WILL NOT REST
IF HE IS OUT THERE
AMONG THE LIVING.
HE WON'T SURVIVE
LONG OUT THERE.
NOT IN THESE
CONDITIONS.
I USED TO BELIEVE
MYSELF DESTINED
FOR SOME
GREAT ENTERPRISE.
ALL I HAVE BROUGHT
IS DESTRUCTION.
SWEAR TO ME.
SWEAR THAT YOU WILL
NEVER LET HIM ESCAPE,
THAT YOU WILL PUT AN END
TO HIS REIGN OF TERROR.
I WILL DO WHAT I CAN
TO HELP YOU FIND HIM.
NO.
YOU MUST KILL HIM.
YOU MUST PROMISE ME
HE WILL BE DESTROYED.
THEN MY TIME ON EARTH
WILL BE COMPLETE.
SO AS SOON
AS THE ICE BREAKS...
WE'RE HEADING BACK.
HENRY, IS THAT YOU?
WALTON.
ROBERT WALTON.
WHAT IS IT?
WHY DO THEY SHOUT?
THEY'RE GOING HOME.
HOME.
HOME.
DO SO IF YOU WILL,
BUT I WILL NOT.
I'M GOING TO
FIND YOU A DOCTOR,
GIVE YOU BACK YOUR LIFE.
NO, MY TASK IS ASSIGNED
TO ME BY HEAVEN.
YOU CAME BACK.
ELIZABETH, FORGIVE ME.
HURRY HOME.
WHAT?
WITHOUT DELAY.
CAPTAIN!
IS IT OVER?
ANY SIGN?
NOTHING.
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.
DO YOU THINK
I RAN AWAY, FATHER,
THAT I ABANDONED YOU
THE WAY YOU ABANDONED ME?
I NEVER WANTED MUCH.
"DID I REQUEST THEE, MAKER,
FROM MY CLAY
TO MOLD ME MAN?"
"DID I SOLICIT THEE
FROM DARKNESS
TO PROMOTE ME?"
ASTONISHING.
HE IS COLD.
HE IS DEAD.
WHO DID THIS TO HIM?
YOU DID.
YOU ARE DEAD.
NOW...
EVEN MY OWN FATHER
HAS ABANDONED ME.
HE HAS
ABANDONED THE PAIN
YOU HAVE CAUSED HIM.
BUT WHAT WOULD
THE LIKES OF YOU
KNOW OF AGONY
AND REMORSE?
DO YOU BELIEVE, SIR...
DO YOU BELIEVE I AM NUMB
TO AGONY AND REMORSE?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
SOUND OF ELIZABETH'S CRIES
WERE MUSIC TO MY EARS?
DO YOU DREAM,
DEAR CAPTAIN?
YES, OF COURSE.
I DREAMED ONCE...
TO LOVE.
TO BE LOVED.
BUT YOU ARE
A SLAVE TO VENGEANCE.
IS THERE A MAN
THAT DOES NOT
BATTLE TEMPTATION
EVERY DAY?
CHRIST DID NOT
RESORT TO VENGEANCE
WHEN MANKIND
SINNED AGAINST HIM.
HIS FATHER LOVED HIM,
SIR.
MY FATHER DESPISED ME,
AS YOU MAY DESPISE ME,
CAPTAIN.
BUT NEVER...
NEVER AS MUCH
AS I DESPISE MYSELF.
CAPTAIN.
NO.
THESE HANDS HAVE
MURDERED THE INNOCENT.
THEY HAVE CAUSED
SUCH SUFFERING.
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT.
"O WELCOME HOUR."
"O WELCOME HOUR."
