Scars of Dracula

'Tis Joanna. Shall we never be free?

We know where the evil lies.

We must free ourselves... Now!

- No, my son. - But it will soon be dark.

Then we must hurry. Maria,

take the other women to the church.

- And stay there. - My son, I beg you not to go.

Your violence will only lead to further violence.

Father, this evil must be destroyed!

Then I will go with you.

And may heaven protect us all.

Get behind the rocks.

Keep out of sight.

Open the door. I've something for you.

Go on, open up.

I'm quite alone.

Open up.

Open the door.

Come on, open it...

Stay where you are, you'll get hurt.

You fools! Do you think you can destroy my master?

The flames will never reach him.

Come on, men, burn it down!

A torch...

That's enough. That's enough! We're going back.

Good. Come on, then.

We must give thanks. Thanks to our Saviour for his protection.

- Yes, Father. - Let us go to the church

and tell our loved ones they are safe.

Maria.

The devil has won.

Friends of Sarah,

I would like to propose a toast to Sarah.

Very happy birthday and many happy returns.

Happy birthday.

- And... And to you. - Speech, speech.

- Reply, reply. - Yes you must reply. Speech, speech.

- Speech! - No.

- We insist, don't we? - Yes.

- Good luck, Sarah. - Er...

Thank you, thank you all very much.

- Great speech. - Yes, nice and short.

Now she can cut that cake.

Simon, where is your brother?

Where is Paul?

- He can't have just forgotten, can he? - No, he won't have forgotten.

I expect he's just working late.

- Was it good, darling? - Hmm?

- Paul, was it good? - What?

Oh, yes. What time is it?

Was it the best ever?

Best ever. What's the time?

Oh, it's early.

- Good. - Why do you want to know?

- Got to go. - Go where?

- To some other girl? - No.

Where then?

- Night school. - What?

I'm trying to improve myself.

You couldn't improve yourself, darling.

The times I've lain here,

all by myself, just listening to that silly clock chiming.

Wishing I could have someone beside me.

- Seven. - Someone like you.

- Eight, nine. - Now my wish has come true.

Nine!

- I thought you said it was early. - It is.

Come on, forget night school.

Can't. Late already.

Don't go. Stay here with me.

- Can't. - I say you must.

- Sorry. - I shall scream.

Now, don't be silly.

What's that? Present for your teacher?

I don't believe you are going to night school.

You're going to meet another girl, aren't you?

- Shh, not so loud, the servants! - I hate you!

Hate, hate, hate!

Come back!

Come back!

I'm not going to let you go.

- Father. - Alice!

He attacked me.

Came in through my bedroom window.

You young swine!

He tried to...

interfere with me.

- What? - Rapist!

Look I... I must be going.

- Excuse me, sir. - Ahh!

Get after him, you fools.

- Burgomaster! - Don't stand there. Get after him, you fools.

Leave me! Get after him, you fools!

Oversexed young puppy!

A spell in prison'll cool him down.

And now, young lady, I should like a few words with you.

Come back down here!

- Come here! - Ooh...

Alice... Open this door!

- It's a lovely party, Sarah. - Hope you are enjoying it as much as we are.

Oh, I'm thirsty, I'm thirsty.

- Well, are you? - Huh?

- Am I what? - Enjoying your party?

Oh, yes, yes.

Well, happy birthday then.

Oh! I nearly forgot.

Well, I didn't forget at all, really.

I was just waiting for the right moment.

Oh, Simon.

It's lovely.

- It's only small, I'm afraid. - No, it's lovely.

Thank you, Simon.

There, look.

I was hoping you would try it on the other hand.

Is it Paul?

Ah, here's Paul. Paul, you're late!

- Where've you been? - Don't ask him, he might tell us.

Sarah, Simon, I really am sorry.

Well, where have you been?

As my elder brother, I suppose you've the right.

I, um... Had a meeting with our Burgomaster.

Paul, you?

In fact, I had great difficulty in persuading him to let me leave.

- You're fooling. - Cross my heart.

Oh...

Here...

Many happy returns of the day, Sarah.

Paul...

Just another example of my photographic genius.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I have to admit it. You do have a talent for photography.

It's a very expensive frame. How can you afford it?

Ah, I'm not a penniless student.

Penniless now, but you wait, when I'm a great lawyer...

Then I'll take your photograph.

You'll notice how the tinting is... Oh...

- Look what I've done. - It doesn't matter. It's nothing.

- I'll take it. - No, no, I'll fix it myself

- first thing in the morning. - Excuse me, sir.

Just a moment.

I think I'm going to have to leave you.

There he is...

- Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir! - Just a moment.

- Paul what have you done now? - Not again.

Sorry, Sarah.

Happy birthday!

Hey!

Hey! One minute!

Hey!

Hey!

Whoa, boy, whoa. Whoa, boy, whoa!

Whoa.

- Goodnight. Goodnight, everybody. - Thank you.

- Goodnight. - Shh! Shh!

Happy birthday.

- It was happy, wasn't it? - The happiest.

Thank you. For the party and for everything.

It was a good party. I know I enjoyed it.

That makes it perfect, then.

- What's wrong? - Paul. Will he be all right?

He always has been. It's not the first time he's been in trouble.

I know.

He means that much to you?

I'm attracted to him. So are a lot girls.

I'm worried about him because he's your brother

and I know how close you are.

I don't want you to be hurt... Ever.

What d'you want?

- Can you let me in? I just... - I'm sorry, we're closed.

- Yes, I see that but... - I'm sorry, really.

- Where can I go then? - Well...

There isn't anywhere, not in this village.

The next village is 10 miles away.

There's nowhere else for miles around, except the castle.

- Do they do bed and breakfast? - Oh, you can't go there. You mustn't.

Oh, why not?

Well, I don't know. I'm new here. But you mustn't go there, not at night anyway.

- Just have to bed down here then. - You can't do that,

- you'll catch your death. - Possibly.

But what alternative is there?

Wait a minute.

We always close soon as it's dark.

Oh? Why?

Well, I don't know. Nobody'll tell me.

But not a living soul in this village'll open up after dark.

Well, couldn't you stretch a point?

Just once?

I've come a long way and I'm tired and hungry.

Well, I can give you a bite to eat. Won't be much, mind.

- And a room? - Sorry, there aren't any.

- What about a bed? - There isn't one.

- I don't mind sharing. - I bet you don't.

I wouldn't want to get you into trouble of course.

Oh, you wouldn't. I'd see to that.

I'm very tired.

I'd be off as soon as my head touched the pillow.

Oh, yes? I've heard that before.

True.

I can hardly keep awake now.

I thought you said you was hungry.
