Hey Louis!

Yo!

There's something in the water!

Come here, quick!

What is it?

It's a body!

A girl.

She looks pretty dead.

Hurry up and help me, will ya.

It's exactly like the others, not even a drop of blood.

It's odd that there are no marks on her, at least that we can find.

Well, the only thing I'm sure about is that she didn't drown, and that's all I can say.

Mm-hmm.

This report I'll write up myself.

How's your vampire?

Please, Phil, would your mind, don't play around.

What's wrong with you?

The way you're behaving is going to pass out right here in the printing press.

Are you crazy?

Look, no one scoop me yet, no one will scoop

me now, because I'm going to see, nobody does.

May I say something?

You're thinking so much about vampires is driving you nuts.

Let's go somewhere.

I'm sure the boss would mind.

This afternoon you had no food.

You grabbed a sandwich or something.

For heaven's sake, just relax a little.

You hear me, Pierre?

Pierre.

I'm going to get him.

A maniac.

What else does LaSalle say about it, Nora?

He says the girl had no bruises on her.

The police have found no reason for these outrageous attacks.

We feel that all the evidence points to a vampire.

Well...

And until this monster can be apprehended, many women will be in danger.

I'm afraid to even walk on the street.

Oh, well, I'm going home.

I'll see you, Nora.

Got a supper date?

Not tonight.

Let's have a bite together.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night, Nora.

Everybody out up there?

No, Nora's waiting for a boyfriend to pick her up.

Hey, Nora!

What is it?

Turn out the lights in the dressing room when you leave.

I'll be back to lock up.

All right.

Why can't her boyfriend be on time for a change?

Come on, Michelle. I'll treat you to a sandwich.

Oh, that'll be swell.

Is this the girl's costume?

Yeah, that's Nora's.

You didn't see Nora leave?

No.

Weren't you here?

Well, no, I'd been eating with Michelle.

And when I got back, nobody was here.

Oh, good morning.

I thought you might need me here.

And who invited you in?

Well, I thought that you could use a little talent and assistance.

I have no use for visiting firemen.

For good reason.

Better get it straight, boy, you annoy me.

And if you take a potter, maybe I could finish here.

Really?

After all of that, I guess I'll just forget what I found.

Our paper, I brought it here to present to you.

You'll probably say it goes too far.

The vampire breaks into theater and abducts ballerina.

I'm surprised LaSalle.

Vampires are out of vogue now.

Oh, I got proof even you'll understand.

Here we are.

This is your vampire.

Wait, something's happened to Nora.

That shoe belongs to her.

I know I had it fixed for a week ago.

And where'd you find it?

Backstage, lying around.

Go ahead, bring it in.

The police can use that.

What's that?

Oh, stop worrying.

I'm leaving now.

I'll let you use that while I dig something else up.

Inspector!

And thus far, we're floundering in confusion.

Only thing definite is the blood of the girls

had been drained for some possible scheme.

From your studies, could you tell anything about the blood group?

Well, my analysis indicates all the victims belong to the rarest blood group.

Oh, but it'll take more than that to crack this case.

I don't care what it takes.

I'll make the murderer pay for it.

I only pray you will.

I'm going to get him.

Oh, I admit I'm slightly stymied.

In any case, good luck.

Thank you, doctor.

Not one thing which is normal.

The girl in each case had no mark on her body.

What are you muttering about?

Nothing, Phil.

I'm merely trying to piece together some facts.

I'd like to lay a trap for the vampire.

Oh, forget about vampires for a while, huh?

This girl is really stupendous, isn't she?

I know her.

She's the granddaughter of the Duchess du Grand.

I didn't know that.

Well, it's obvious you don't like her, old boy.

Tell me, are you planning on becoming a celibate?

I don't know what's happened to you since the vampire.

Ah, shut your face, Phil.

I'm doing you a favor.

Something else you uncovered?

Hmm, come here.

You see this photo of Nora?

Yeah, I saw it before.

But did you happen to notice the guy walking behind her?

A passerby.

With his face covered, Phil?

To me, it's just someone passing by, Pierre.

Yeah, probably what you say is right, but there might be a connection.

Oh, Pierre, by the way, the girl they found in the river.

She studied typing privately at Benet's.

Who said so?

Her mother.

There's something to see her, remember.

Where are you going?

Le Nays.

It's no trouble. Why not come?

- Now? - Yeah.

I'm going to speak to them.

May I speak to you, miss?

Pardon me, Pierre LaSalle.

- But you're the journalist there. - Yes, it's true.

A very important feature I'd like to write concerns the death of Myra.

Dumier?

Yeah.

The girl they found in the Seine.

Did her behavior in any way strike you as odd?

Her behavior was quite normal to us.

Well, there's something that maybe we should have told the police, but who knew?

Tell me what it is.

Lorette will tell you.

We were looking at the clothes along Beaumache Street.

Well, the man kept watching Myra.

And did you call the police?

Oh, no, we didn't.

It would have seemed absurd.

Nothing really happened to us.

You mind describing him?

Kind of tall.

About like you.

Coat and no hat, almost what you're wearing.

It could be me or maybe this one.

I've got a good memory.

Oh, but it's awfully blurred.

Yes, it's hard to see.

I'm going to find him.

Then maybe you'll know.

Sure.

I know I can identify him.

He had such strange eyes.

I'll be getting in touch with you.

Pierre.

Pierre.

Over here.

Hello, Giselle.

You're looking more beautiful than ever.

I wish you meant that flattery.

Funny, there's always something you're forever involved with, Pierre.

You're a monster to not answer my phone call.

Well, I meant to call you, but phoning's a problem these days.

I could see that your impulses are atrophied as yet.

That young blonde is definitely pretty, isn't she?

What you're inferring, then, is that I'm down here for some social life.

Oh, it really doesn't have me bothered, Pierre,

because I've had you assigned my annual ball.

You get possessor with someone you love.

I see.

I'll go.

See you there.

That's just fine.

Who is that?

You forget about the picture that you saw?

The duchess' granddaughter.

Boy you're something.

A woman as gorgeous as that makes eyes at you and you gotta act like that.

Are you out of your mind?

Oh, we had our romance and we had to break it up.

Personal complications.

Boy, that's a break.

When I looked at her, I bust out in perspiration.

Hey, you know what, Pierre? I'm gonna bribe you.

You introduce me to her and I'll kill myself to track down this vampire of yours.

Please, the injections.

You'll get it.

Later.

First, I want to make sure you understand exactly what you're supposed to do.

Watch this girl every day.

The address five Rousanay Tien.

Look at her.

Study her.

Burner features in your brain.

Remember five Rousanay Tien.

You know what you have to do.

Give me a fix, please. It's torture.

Please.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

You don't know what it's like.

I can't stand it.

All right.

All right.

Please.

This should hold you for a while.

Aah.

That's enough.

Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Blier.

No.

And when he saw me following him, he tried everything to get away from me.

The man was absolutely panic-stricken.

No better proof of that than in this picture.

Hmm.

And this is the building. You sure?

Yes, I'm sure it's this one. Right here.

First floor in front.

Well, let's see.

He was here a few minutes ago.

There was nobody here.

You're nothing about a sensation monger.

As a newspaper, man, you're a disgrace.

Here, take your phony photographs back, put them away.

Or else you make me put you away.

And will you listen to reason?

and I merely put the police force into action.

Ah, let's go.

I'm afraid, sir, you must make an appointment to see the professor.

What are you doing here?

Give me this.

Some of them become a mime.

Red corpuscle is still negative.

All right, take it away. It can't be used.

- Professor, Joseph is here. - What?

But he says he won't go away.

I think you better deal with him.

All right.

I hear you want to speak to me.

Somebody's wise. I want my fee. I have to get out of town.

I'm going to get it too.

Otherwise, I talk.

You must try to relax.

The needle, we take care of it.

You'll pay, or else it's curtains.

A man like you should hang from the gallows a thousand times over.

for what you've done.

Control yourself.

Stop, shout.

I'll tell everything to the police.

Do you understand?

I'll tell everything.

Why did you do that?

I had to stop him some way, Professor.

So, he managed to trace you here.

But the police might have followed him, and if they

did, they'll be here at any moment to arrest you.

- I don't know how he... - Never mind that, now.

Your arrest would mean a very sad end for the

famous Professor Du Grand and the ruin of it's all.

There is only one way left to continue your work without interference.

And you know what that is.

Yes, Marguerite.

I don't see Giselle anywhere, do you?

For good reason.

Somebody's burial isn't very fascinating if it happened.

I still say there's something strange going on.

She never really loved her poor uncle.

You say the Duchess is supposed to be around a

hundred, and that's why in public she wears a veil.

She always wears a veil.

Everyone says she's an impossible person to live with.

For good reason, she's impossible, period.

You see, when her beauty wore out, she couldn't resign herself to it.

Her father was probably the reason she felt that way.

Uh-huh.

No, she pestered him.

He couldn't wait to get rid of her.

For mother, it was hell.

She's so old now.

I imagine she must have been old then.

But she was still beautiful, the vicious woman of prey.

All right... the current.

Uh, and what are we doing now?

You'll see.

It's an experiment.

Processing his blood in order to prolong the life...

of the living cells.

With these, then, we'll make perfect blood.

Not human organisms, but artificial corpuscles.

Yes, cells reproducing, surviving independently of man.

I'm so close now to discovering the very secret of life.

The key to more and more power.

Then...

they'll all bow to me.

Who is it?

It is I, Marguerita.

I must have everything prepared and ready for this evening.

But that's impossible.

I don't care, don't you see.

Zazel must be here tomorrow.

You're out of your mind. You must at least wait until I'm finished.

No, it must be done tonight.

Very well.

Martin, the power.

I'll be back.

Aubert!

Tell them to get the car ready immediately.

I want to go out.

Right away.

Good evening, Mademoiselle.

I would suggest our Poulet au Ras.

It is magnificent, made of the finest chicken.

I had it for supper myself.

Mademoiselle, you're not listening.

Now?

A double scotch, please.

Scotch!? We're famous in Paris for our food.

A double scotch, please.

Very well.

May I borrow a piece of paper?

Dearest, Philip, I'm sorry...

I ran away.

Please, forgive me.

I couldn't.

I just couldn't.

Scotch.

Mademoiselle. Why don't you call him?

Call him?

Yes, call him.

There's a telephone in the powder room in the back.

Come on.

Thank you.

Academy 6.

1-3-2-3, please.

Philip?

Oh, Philip! Thank goodness you didn't leave.

Philip, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to run out on you like that.

It's just that you frightened me so for a minute.

I love you too, darling.

But I wanted us to be married first.

But I thought it over.

And if that's the way you want it, it's all right with me.

Yes, I'm on my way back to your apartment.

Oh... you... wait.

No... please... don’t.

Excuse me.

I'm a poor blind man with a favor I'd like to ask of you.

I'll try to oblige.

I have a letter to take to this address today or I'll get in trouble.

Could you kindly take it for me?

Come on, Redd, you're awful.

Have a heart.

I'll be there in a second.

Yeah, I guess it's pretty important.

It's so kind of you to take this and again I say thank you.

Has Pierre asked you for a date?

He's busy on important matters.

Well, so long.

But you're along with us.

- I've got to really be going. - To see Pierre?

Don't be idiotic. Goodbye.

So long, Lorette.

So long.

I'm looking for Mrs. J. Chabray.

First floor, my dear.

Yes? What do you want?

A blind man asked me, please, to see that this was taken to Mrs. Chabray.

I brought it right away.

Wait over there.

My mistress is afraid someone is going to break in.

One must humor her.

Right this way.

I shall go and inform my mistress now.

It's baffling. I can't imagine where Lorette can be.

I've looked everywhere for her, everywhere I can think of, and nobody's seen her.

You go ahead and go home.

I'll let you know if anything should develop.

But it's heartbreaking to realize she's disappeared.

I know.

But we've got to do something we just can't

stand around like this waiting for it to happen.

The maniac's still around here murdering women.

Is Lorette going to be to be the next one?

Let the professionals worry about it.

Now you go home.

I'll call you in the morning.

I remind you again, the whole force is pulling for you.

We'd like you to feel we're doing everything possible in order to find her.

Help! Somebody!

Help!

Help!

Beautiful ball, isn't it?

It's really the first such ball since Margherita started it.

I must say it's been close to 24 years.

If I'm correct she changed about, let's see, about 1934.

I think it was closer to 1938.

No, precisely 1934.

I remember because that was the year Margarita had that tragic

love affair and decided to cut herself off from the world.

Yes, that was such a pity.

Before that she loved Parties and Balls, just the way she's ever does today.

Don't you think the boss was unfair to insist we'd come here?

Not a bit.

I'm fascinated by society parties.

Well, what do you think of this mausoleum?

I like it.

Your taste is horrible, Phil.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Why don't you bury the hatchet with Giselle?

I'm going to make the most of this party tonight.

I got it bad, Pierre, and it's impossible to stop myself.

If you feel that way about her, she's all yours.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

Go ahead and see what you can get.

I think I'll go out and get some air.

I enjoy that on so much, Colonel Andre.

Hello, Pierre.

I see you've taken refuge on the terrace.

It's no secret.

You must have seen to it that I would be forced to come here.

Oh, please don't be angry with me about that.

Giselle.

You're forever dominating men.

But with me, it's over.

And all I can say is, I pity the next victim.

I like to see you this way. I almost feel your father's present.

I don't follow you.

My father had already been dead when you... But a portrait of him still hangs here.

And it's all my grandmother looks at.

She feels better when she looks at your father's portrait.

Not many loved him the way she did.

How many women would be faithful to the end of one who died.

It wasn't an ordinary love between a man and a woman.

It still lives on, mentally and spiritually.

Don't you understand?

I hope that maybe someday that could happen to us.

It just can't Giselle.

And I say it will.

Uh, her fever's come back.

She's worse, you know.

Poor grandmother, those awful migraines she has.

Probably she got too excited.

We mustn't let it distract us.

It's no use screaming.

There's nobody here.

So be quiet.

No, you absolutely must be quiet.

I've got to get out of here.

I've got to get out of here.

Maybe you'll be all right.

You can't go anywhere now.

Why are you afraid of an old man? Huh?

You must put your faith in me!

Don't lose patience.

It won't be long. All right?

Pardon, madame.

The Duke La Roche is taking his leave.

Tell the Duke that I will be inside in a minute.

- But, madame... - Do as you're asked, Wilfred.

We've hardly spoken about you, Pierre.

Suppose we find a nice cozy place and take care of that.

That's impossible. I'm not quite in the mood for that.

It's better this way.

Here is hoping you find the right one for you.

Good night, Giselle.

You feel nothing.

No.

It's much better this way.

No! I'm frightened! No!

Oh, such if you are all right now, just be a good little girl.

- Goodnight - Goodnight my dear.

You, are you crazy?

What are you doing here?

I just want to see you and admire you, that's all.

And now I must ask you to go.

The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew I was desperately in love.

How beautiful you are.

And at last I've met you.

I warn you, leave this moment.

If you don't know, call somebody who'll take care of your impudence.

I don't want to upset you.

How am I supposed to feel?

You refuse to even treat me as a person down there.

I prefer an acceptable approach, so help me.

Just get out.

You wouldn't believe how much you mean to me.

How much I envision for us. What moments of passion!

Your mine.

I'm going to make you mine.

I refuse to be subjected to all your crude insults.

Wait a minute.

I know this. secret that you've hidden from

everybody else a pretty dangerous kind of disease.

And what is that?

Love for the LaSalle's. Your grandmother for the father you for

the son only you could see it's completely impossible for you and for him.

I despise you.

I'm telling you again to go!

You must listen to me.

Pierre hates you.

Forget Pierre.

Forget never! I'd prefer death if I can't keep Pierre. If you don't go I'll make my

servants force you out. Do you understand? You take your filthy hands off.

You're hurting. Let go of me.

Get out immediately. I'll kill you if I ever see you.

What are you looking at?

Don't stare that way. I'm not in apparition.

Am I growing ugly?

Am I growing ugly?

Oh, get out of here!

I don't want you to look at me, I'm horrible.

Do you know what my real name is?

It's the Duchess Margherita du Grand, yes.

I murder girls to be young.

Murder anybody whose blood I can use so I'm not dried out.

And all for love, love for Pierre and his father both.

Don't go and leave me.

Tell me you love me quickly because you're going to die.

You won't tell anybody about me!

Go see what happened up there.

You're hideous!

Quickly!

The moron. Take him away and get rid of him at once.

- The operation all ready for tonight? - No! I must refuse.

- You know you may be killed. - I don't care.

So I die.

I'd rather die than go on looking like this.

Ahh, well.

I can't refuse you anything.

Look the girl.

- She must be dead. - What?

Ah.

Her heart is still beating.

Hello, you mind calling Mr. Amadine?

Philip Amadine, room 12.

Sorry, but Mr. Amadine is not in.

He didn't return at all last night.

Thank you.

Hello.

Jordan, I'm feeling very ill.

What?

I don't think I can stand it. I'm so weak.

That doesn't sound good.

Come up.

I'm coming.

I'll be there in a few seconds.

Wait. Who are you?

Stop! Stop! Come back here!

Come back here! Who are you?

Quick, he's heading for the back.

Please Kent.

Help... please!

Please help me.

This is the man I took pictures of.

I found him outside the castle.

Who are you?

Can you recall your name?

You must remember.

My name...

Joseph Signoret.

du Grand, white young girls.

I... I do it.

Dope, I did.

Boys to help du Grand

Du Grand Are you mad?

You must be mad to expect me to believe all that.

Why don't you let him finish?

You keep out LaSalle.

You're acting like a big shot.

I don't happen to be a person who likes to have his leg pulled.

Do you...

Do you Do you understand that I saw du Grand dead myself

You think about that.

He's alive!

Pretending he was dead.

Better to continue the work.

You must stop them, Inspector.

Quick, get a doctor.

The police.

Put out the lights there.

I said, put out the lights.

Joseph's disappeared and I'm worried.

He couldn't still be alive.

Come with me.

Yes?

Police, we want to see the Duchess du Grand.

But the Duchess is not here. She left town.

Then get the granddaughter. I want to question her.

Well, Inspector, I'd like to know why you're disturbing me at this hour.

However, I shall assume it must be something very important.

Even policemen must have a certain amount of breeding.

I know that this may cause inconvenience.

Yes.

Well, do you mind very much if we look around?

We've heard some very weird things about this place.

Oh, really?

And is he told you these very weird things?

I see you've decided to pretend you're angry to avoid answering us.

I cannot imagine how anyone like Mr. Lucille could make

an officer behave in such a vile fashion in my house.

I know there are many who circulate vicious rumors.

Whatever they say is stupid anyway.

I have very little regard for anybody

who repeats all the petty nonsense which he hears because he has had his advances

- rejected and flatly discouraged... - why you!

Go on.

If you want to make this simple,

I advise more control.

There's some points that interest me.

And I've got a few questions for you. I know you don't mind

You don't have to be afraid.

Don't be that way.

You're so pretty.

I don't know of any Joseph Signoret.

And as Mr. Amadeen, you're both so concerned about,

left the council last night when everybody else did.

There's another point that's bothering me.

I don't suppose there's a girl here called Laurette?

Inspector, I never heard of anybody by that name before tonight.

- Why, you... - That's enough, LaSalle.

Thank you.

I hope you understand my position in this case.

And I hope you'll permit us to examine and to search the castle.

I see.

I find it very hard to believe you'd ever stoop to something as low as this.

I think I prefer it if you search the house.

I wouldn't disappoint you, Mr. LaSalle.

So please do what you think is right, Inspector Morayne.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

Not a sign of Lorette or Phil.

But where could they be? I'm very worried.

I dunno. Come on, let's go.

The chapel should be right about here.

Ah.

Well, Inspector?

I don't know what to say to you.

It's all most regrettable.

But aren't you going to search here anymore tonight?

I hardly think there's any point to it.

What's that?

Who's there?

It's us, Inspector.

There's a passage from the chapel through there.

Only takes a minute to get here.

I shall conquer hell.

That motto is rather strange, but it's appropriate.

I can see you prefer to continue your suspicions about me, wouldn't you?

The motto was my ancestors, and a secret passage then was not uncommon.

You forget the du Grands were a noble family, and I am one of them.

Thank you again for reminding me.

Good night, Inspector.

Well.

But the man I found out here admitted he kidnapped

girls for them, so why don't you believe him?

Look, I don't want to hear anymore, do you mind?

Inspector! Inspector, look!

Please tell me what you're all staring at.

This whole evening has been offensive.

For every insult you've hurled at me, I'll make you pay.

Do you hear?

Who you're staring at?

You look like something's the matter that way!

Let's go. Faraday, guard all the exits.

Over there. You men search the castle and see no one leaves.

They went out this way.

I hear them. They're coming.

I'll go this way. You men go that way.

Ahhh.

Don't move or I'll shoot!

He was in the ground.

But who was buried?

Funny?

Maybe they put another body in the coffin.

Quickly, to the crypt!

All right men!

You know she still is very weak.

And she needs a good long rest, though considering

all that's happened tonight, it's really a miracle.

Pulse's a little weak yet, but she's all right.

Is that you?

Pierre.

You're all right now.

Don't go.

I've got such confidence in you.

I'm so glad it's all over now.

I still remember it all.

So much to tell.

I know. Try to forget. It's better.

You're too sick.

Please, Lorette.

Oh, in a couple of days, I'll be fine.

Please, Pierre, I'm afraid. Let's go away.

This place.

When you feel better, I'll take you away then.

I'll help you forget the past, when we're married.

I'll say goodbye. Inspector, I'm really grateful. Thank you.

Oh, it's not me you should thank, sir.

He's the one.

What can I say, Pierre?

I owe it all to him.

It's a lesson, too. I don't know it all.

Hey, let's see.

What do you say to a filet? Charcoal broiled and blood rare.

Come on.
