Episode Six Hypnotic Eyes

Fifteen days have passed since the incident at Boulevard Maillot,

where more than a hundred of society's most influential people

were asphyxiated and robbed by the Vampires.

But their rival, the thief Juan Jose Moreno, driven by hatred,

managed to steal the loot from them.

Neither the police nor Philippe Guérande

nor Mazamette could intervene in time.

Moreno intently combed the newspapers,

looking for clues that could put him on the trail of his enemies.

THE ASSASSINATION OF THE NOTARY OF FONTAINEBLEAU,

A NEW CRIME OF THE VAMPIRES?

The cold-bloodedness with which the murder was committed,

the unspeakable cruelty, the diabolical way they have muddied the waters,

bears the mark of the terrible gang...

- Between the police and the Vampires,

it's too risky for me to go down there myself.

Moreno's gaze carried with it a formidable hypnotic power.

Laure, the new housemaid, was specially selected by Moreno.

Meanwhile, Guérande and Mazamette...

THE NOTARY'S ASSASSINATION

INVESTIGATION IN THE FOREST OF FONTAINEBLEAU

- The Vampires! The Grand Vampire and Irma Vep!

At the Grand Veneur Hotel in Fontainebleau,

early in the morning,

Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Werner, American tourists...

Philippe and Mazamette tried to slip into Fontainebleau

as discreetly as possible.

- Where is he going at a full gal/op so early in the morning?

Smells fishy!

After the assassination of the notary,

the Grand Vampire did not flee Fontainebleau.

He remained at the Grand Veneur Hotel

under the name of Count de Kerlor.

NOTICE - American millionaire George Baldwin of Chicago,

whose accountant, Raphaél Norton, fled to Europe

in the company of Miss Ethel Florid, an actress of the Empire Theatre,

carrying with them $200,000,

said that all money remaining in the possession of the thief

will be offered as a reward to the person who brings about his arrest.

The Viscount, Guy de Kerlor, was actually Irma Vep.

The trouble Mrs. Werner had

in reading about the reward posted by millionaire George Baldwin

did not escape the notice of the pseudo count de Kerlor.

- This Horatio Werner,

is he actually Raphaél Norton, the thief of the $200, 000?

- You're the one they're looking for. l, however, am innocent.

And if I turn you in, I could keep the remainder of the $200,000!

- That's Irma Vep! They are here!

During tea time, the phony count de Kerlor

amused the hotel guests by telling their fortunes.

- I see Mr. Werner has money, lots of money.

But you have many enemies, people who are pursuing you.

- That's a pretty ring, but tell me, if you don 't mind m y asking,

"RN” are not your initials, are they Mr. Werner?

- It's him!

At another hotel...

- Tens of thousands of dollars! Now we're rich!

After dinner, a new guest arrived at the Grand Veneur Hotel.

Moreno.

The Glorious and Romantic Adventures of Captain de Kerlor,

Recounted by the Colonel to his Great-grandson, the Count de Kerlor.

With the utmost grace,

the count de Kerlor agreed to read from his work.

"In July 1808, Captain de Kerlor was instructed by Marshall Murat

to convey to Marshall Bessiére a pouch

upon which the outcome of war between Napoleon and Spain depended."

"Woman, my horse is thirsty."

"The husband and brother of this woman

had joined the partisan bands of Pepe Calderon.

Taken prisoner by the French, they had been whipped and then hanged."

Meanwhile...

"Once his horse had been watered, the captain took his leave."

"But the Kerlors are not the type of men who take vengeance upon a woman."

While the count de Kerlor kept the guests occupied in the hotel's salon,

the "Viscount Guy" was engaged in a systematic search

of the Americans' room.

- A map of the area.

- A treasure map!

- Irma has had plenty of time.

- You go get the Americans' loot while I plan our departure.

Philippe Guérande, Reporter for The Globe,

has discovered at this place an iron chest filled with banknotes,

which may be returned to its rightful owner

once they present their proof of ownership.

Moreno, in hiding,

waiting for the Vampires to lead him to the treasure.

I wrote this - "Juan Jose Moreno has taken Irma Vep prisoner

and will return her for a ransom.

The prisoner's life depends on your discretion."

Philippe Guérande, Reporter for The Globe,

has discovered at this place an iron chest filled with banknotes...

Juan Jose Moreno has taken Irma Vep prisoner

and will return her for a ransom.

The prisoner's life depends on your discretion.

- Guérande is here!

Perhaps he has already informed the police!

We must leave here today!

- Don't worry. We won't forget Irma.

An early-morning raid was conducted by the police

at the Grand Veneur Hotel.

- Monsieur Commissioner,

Mr. and Mrs. Werner are locked in their room and are not answering.

- This man's name is not Horatio Werner.

It's Raphaél Norton, the thief of George Baldwin's $200,000.

NOTICE - American millionaire George Baldwin of Chicago,

whose accountant, Raphaél Norton, fled to Europe

in the company of Miss Ethel Florid, an actress of the Empire Theatre,

carrying with them $200,000,

said that all money remaining in the possession of the thief

will be offered as a reward to the person who brings about his arrest.

But three guests could not be found -

the count de Kerlor, the countess and the Viscount Guy.

At his mansion, Moreno was falling in love with Irma Vep,

and he no longer wished to return her to the Grand Vampire.

I, Irma Vep, confess to being one of the Vampires

and having participated in the following crimes -

assassination of the notary of Fontainebleau,

assassination of Monsieur Métadier, attorney for the Renoux-Duval Bank,

whom I killed with my own hands,

assassination of dancer Marfa Koutiloff, assassination of Dr. Nox...

- Count de Kerlor insists upon seeing you.

- A man is coming. You must kill him!

- I have come for Irma.

- Irma does not wish to leave with you.

She would like to tel! you this herself.

Mazamette, now rich, thanks to George Baldwin's reward money,

moved into a sumptuous suite.

- Monsieur, some reporters would like to interview you!

- Before this reminder of my humble origins,

allow me to state that, though vice is sometimes slow to be punished,

virtue is always rewarded.
