"Dr. Sepulveda nuclear physicist"
Dear colleagues:
I've invited you to this, my house,
to let you know, distinguished members in metaphysical studies,
about the work of a dear friend of mine,
well known for his scientific work,
who has hidden his identity all his life,
in order to fight crime.
I want to introduce you: Santo!
Gentlemen, after long and detailed studies conducted by me,
I have concluded that you can take a person back
to a state of previous existence using the decomposition of matter.
You mean that if I were dematerialized,
I could witness a distant era?
Perhaps a previous incarnation?
It's true, doctor, then we could know the origin of ancient cultures,
cities, archaeological monuments,
treasures, etc.
Can you explain the procedure for this experiment?
With pleasure. Please follow me.
Step inside.
This is the device I invented, basically a time machine.
The experiment is to take the test subject, and, using atom decomposition,
project them through time and space to a previous incarnation.
- Have you already done this experiment? - No.
So this is just a simple theory?
A probable theory; all the data collected makes me think it's possible.
If you're sure, why not to check it?
Because of the lack of a test subject.
For this purpose, a female would be ideal.
This is due to biological reasons, but the obstacle is the fear of the unknown.
Logically, I would decline this honor, since I assume this could be dangerous, right?
Yes, it could be, at least for the actual life of the subject,
as it's risky to revive a previous incarnation.
It's easy to just talk about something, right?
Understandably, this day has been a disappointment for you.
It has been, professor. I was sure you would help me, understand me.
And everything has happened exactly the opposite of what I expected. A total mess.
Don't say that. You haven't failed. You're going to succeed.
- Cognac? - I prefer coffee.
- A coffe for the gentleman. - My pleasure. - No, this way.
The girl wants to say goodnight to you.
I'm going to bed, I'll see you tomorrow, uncle.
See you in the morning, my dear.
'Night, Alicia.
- 'Night to everyone. - Get your sleep. - Have a rest, dear.
You don't know how I appreciate you're allowing Paquita to live with you.
She is so sweet and nice.
I remember she was very young when her parents were killed because of the mafia.
You swore to be like a father to her.
Poor thing; your love has made her happy. I'm positive that you'll be a great mother to her.
Those are my wishes.
When my experiment succeeds, think of our future together.
Look Santo, as scientists, we're not satisfied only with theories,
- We require facts. - Facts? Facts? That's what I want!
But where is the person who would help me prove my theory?
No, no... don't look at me!
I'm your friend, but I don't fight bulls!
I've given you all my help and support here in my home,
due to the great admiration and respect I feel for you and your experiments,
your success would be my greatest satisfaction,
So if you wish, I will be the test subject.
No, professor, thank you; at your age, the experiment would be even more risky.
We may fail, and that could be fatal for you.
Then what kind of test subject do you require?
A young person, preferably female,
as women are four times stronger than males,
and it would be easier to send female cells across time.
To transport her to a past reincarnation?
Yes, if she survives the shock of returning to the present time.
So if a subject returns, they might remember their last reincarnation?
Indeed; and it could lead to irreversible brain damage.
- Santo, could I be the one? - What! What're you saying?
- Daughter! - Could I be the one? - No!
You've never told me a lie, answer me!
How can I tell? I don't know.
You are the one who would know.
Well... yeah... you could serve. But you'd be my last option.
- Why? - Haven't you understood that the experiment is dangerous?
I share your interest in discovering the truth.
Allow me to help you.
Watch that the needle doesn't exceed 170. It could be harmful.
- All ready, sir? - All ready.
Coramine, adrenaline, pyridoxine, and sulfates.
- Ready? - Ready.
Judging by the decor of the room, she seems to be at the end of the last century.
Indeed, and judging by her attitude, I gather that she's sick.
- I'm professor Van Roth. - Come, the professor expects you.
- My dear Van Roth! - Professor Soler.
- I can never repay you for this.
Even if the patient was someone other than your daughter, I would still have come.
I'll never forget that you've done me a great favor in the past.
- Don't mention it. Cognac? - Sure, thanks.
Thanks.
Van Roth, I'm very concerned.
As I said in my letter,
My daughter seems to have the same symptoms as those that killed her friend Mara, and some local girls.
I want to hear about Mara.
She was her visiting when she fell ill.
She grew weaker and continued fading.
- Did she received a transfusion? - Yes, three of them.
- What effect did it have? - She improved after the transfusions.
But she was back to being pale and ethereal the next morning.
Ten days ago, she fell into a coma, could not wake up and died.
What else?
None, apart from two marks on the throat.
Those marks are what made me come here, what did they look like?
Two small circles, with a small red spot in the middle.
- What's that!? - It looks like a bat!
What kind of plant is that, that made the beast go away?
Mistletoe, an herb that grows in Transylvania.
Bats can't stand the smell of it.
My dear daughter!
This is my old friend, professor Van Roth.
You don't remember me, but I remember you when you were a child.
Now, you're a graceful and beautiful woman,
but a little pale.
But we'll return the red to those cheeks.
Allow me...
Please tell me, was weakness the first symptom?
Two nights after the death of Mara, I had a horrible nightmare.
Let me hear about it.
I remember that dogs barked just before I went to bed,
and there was a thick fog flooding the room.
The next morning, I woke up sad and very weak.
You've had other dreams like that?
Almost every night I notice the arrival of the fog.
That pale face, those red eyes!
Twice she's received transfusions, and each time regained her strength.
When did these marks appear on your throat?
- Since that morning. - Allow me... - No, no!
I beg you to let me have a look.
It's simple, please...
Good evening, Count.
Gentlemen.
Miss. Apparently you are better tonight.
I am; especially now that this man has come to heal me.
Count Alucard.
Professor Van Roth.
A distinguished scientist, whose name is world famous.
I don't want to interrupt the doctor's visit.
No at all, Count. You honor us with your presence.
I'm always happy to see you. Your visits are good for me.
- You go to take a rest, I'll talk to your father. - Thanks!
The maid will take me to my room. Excuse me.
Like me, you're a stranger in this country, aren't you, Count?
- Yes. - Do you plan to spend more time here?
Those are my intentions, my friend.
I hope you haven't regretted buying that ruined mansion.
It's not in ruins, but very dusty.
But we are used to dust in my old country.
You must be eager to talk with this famous scientist,
so if you'll allow me to excuse myself,
I'll be back to find out if I can be useful.
It's a kindness on his part. Let's talk about my daughter.
I'm sure you've heard the Central European legend, the one that speaks of vampires.
You mean those ghosts who drink the blood of the living?
You can call them ghosts,
I prefer to call them... the undead.
The Vampire attacks the throat, leaving two circles with a red dot in the center.
- Like those on Luisa! - Yes.
Mara also had them.
And I can guarantee that the local women who have disappeared
also had them.
King and Lord of Darkness...
We present you two new priestesses for your infernal court.
They will join the legion of the undead.
Now, you're immortal as we are.
Arise.
You do as well.
This is the brand that sets us apart from mortals.
- Are you willing to receive it? - We are.
Now, go quench your vampire thirst with human blood.
As should be done by those of us, trapped in that strange bridge
between the end of life, and the beginning of death.
She lived in the times of a vampire, Count Alucard.
But a vampire in America?
Please don't taunt me!
Surely Dr. Van Roth is going to decipher the mystery.
- Did you leave her alone? - No, she's with her father.
How is she?
She's nervous. She read in the newspaper about a beautiful woman, dressed in white,
offering sweets to children at night, then leading them into the darkness to bite their necks.
Call Professor Soler, but don't leave the lady alone for any reason!
Yes, Sir.
The vampire is Dracula!
Professor Van Roth has found out.
Look! Look!
- Good Evening. - Mein Gott!
I didn't hear you come.
People say that my feet are light.
Quite strange,
this mirror reflects everything
but you.
Forgive me, I don't like mirrors.
They are the playthings of human vanity.
How is our beautiful patient today?
The diagnosis is a puzzle.
This is what I feared.
Do you want to know what I have prescribed for the patient?
Whatever affects Luisa, is of great interest to me.
It's just a scratch,
but I will show you the medicine that I prescribed to Luisa.
Don't you like the smell?
My God!
What happened, do you feel sick?
No, Count Alucard has been here.
- He's come to kill me. - What? No! It can't be!
He is the vampire! The evidence is here!
I found out that he has traveled by boat,
carrying six large boxes which appear coffin-like,
with a layer of soil inside them.
The vampire must sleep during the day, on the same land where they've buried him!
But why exactly has he brought that very coffin?
I don't know, but we have to find them!
So we may kill him!
- Did you read the papers? - About the mysterious woman who gives candy to children and then attacks them?
The woman dressed in white is my friend Mara!
Mara? But she's dead, Luisa!
She has joined the master!
- God! - Miss, I won't ask how you know about this,
but I promise to save the soul of this woman, with God's help.
- Can you save mine too? - Even yours, I promise you.
From this night on, the maid will sleep in your room
and stay there, keeping guard, until dawn comes.
I made this necklace of mistletoe for you to wear.
As long as you wear this, you'll be protected.
- Swear you won't take it off! - I do.
Shut your mouth!
From now on, your will is mine.
When you wake up, you will not remember any of this.
Yes, Master.
What did the Professor order you to do?
To keep an eye open for mistress Luisa every night.
I will destroy that man!
I will convey my wishes to your brain,
and you will obey me then and there.
- Here is where Mara rests. - Hurry, dusk is coming.
Don't feel sad, Professor. We've fulfilled our duty and saved her soul.
The task was very painful in any case.
Let us check your daughter.
Luisa has left her bed!
- Lupe! Where's Luisa? - She is mesmerized.
On the count of three, open your eyes.
1... 2... 3!
Wake up!
- Where is Luisa? - I don't know. The last thing I remember is me sitting in this chair.
The Vampire took her! We have to act fast!
How shall we find his lair?
I asked one of the pastors to get a wolf dog.
These beasts are able to track down vampires.
May God let him get the dog.
I have chosen you as my companion for eternity.
- Where... is he... taking her... the Vavava? - What is a Vavavava? - The Vampire!
To his lalala... Fool, you've confused me. To his lair.
On the grave of my grandmother! Is that jewelry real?
In addition to offering you immortality,
I will make you very rich.
This is the fabulous treasure of my ancestors they have put into my custody.
I have brought it from Transylvania, in coffins layered with soil.
Only you, as my companion, have laid eyes on this.
No mortal ever knows,
that the map of this treasure
is engraved in Serbian characters on my medallion as well as on my ring.
Now, we must rest.
The light, our enemy, is coming soon.
If any of its rays reach us,
the consequences would be fatal for us both.
Come to our shelter, hidden in a distant cemetery.
My teeth have inoculated your flesh,
you're a member of the undead, so you can fly.
Follow me.
This will be your deathbed.
Come, here comes the dawn.
We must find refuge in the kingdom of darkness.
Enter.
We found him, Professor!
- Luisa! - It's useless to call her name, she's dead now.
What's he going to do to my daughter?!
He's killing her!
If that happens, she may not return! We must go and rescue her!
Unfortunately she has no salvation in this life.
The vampire has bitten her thrice!
Santo! Her blood pressure!
A man!
- That's irrelevant! Quick, coramine! - Yes, Santo.
I can't find her pulse, we've lost her!
- What's up? - Dunno, everything's revolving!
This is too much for me... I... I...
This has been a horrible experience.
Calm down, it's all over now.
You have to rest now.
- How is she? - She's very nervous.
The sedative has taken effect and she's better now.
She was brave. What happened with "Parakeet"?
I left him in the upper room, he's resting.
Seems he's not very brave, right?
What do you think about all of this, professor?
We're facing something positively amazing.
This could lead to unheard-of investigations.
This is the invention of the century.
Hold on! For all the excitement, we forgot something:
Who was the hooded person spying on us in the lab?
- Hey, Dad. - Atlas, I've seen an incredible experiment.
Something so amazing that you wouldn't believe it!
- I believe you. - I'll tell you my adventure later on.
Come with me. We must give orders to our men.
The boss!
Listen to my orders: from now on, you keep an eye on the Sepulveda house.
Put in wires and install TV cameras.
We're on the trail of big business.
Remember: no guns!
The life of Santo and his friends should be sacred to you.
That's it.
Hey Dandy, what does the boss have in mind?
I dunno Mouse, but it must be something great, as usual.
I don't like the presence of Santo in all this.
- Are you afraid of him? - Afraid?
- No, real fear! - You coward!
Professor! The ultimate proof lies in the vampire's coffin!
No! You don't know what you mean!
Let the cursed dead rest in peace!
Don't you understand that I only have scientific interest in this?
Now, I'm about to test my theory. Don't leave me alone.
We need your help.
Only you already know the path that can lead us to the right place.
I hope I don't regret what happens tonight.
You are our only hope.
This can be terrible, Santo.
- Out. - No!
- Are you afraid? - Yes, very much.
- Are you a man? - A mouse.
Out of the car!
We must be careful, the cemetery caretakers might see us.
Go on!
Mama!
- What's up? - There... there...
I saw the man of the mama...
Don't lie, no one's there.
I swear on my children that I've seen him!
- You don't have any children! - But I will.
- Let's go, Santo... - Shut up, Parakeet.
The important thing is that she remembers which crypt leads to the the vampire's grave.
- Could you? - I'll do my best.
- Let's go, tomorrow we... - Be quiet. Go on... - Please illuminate my footsteps.
- This is the one. - Sure? - I am.
Parakeet, go to the car and bring us shovels and picks.
- The sores and... pricks? - Shovels and picks!
- By myself? - Of course, go on!
- Come with me! - No, go on at once!
- But it could be that man in the... - Don't waste our time!
Next time choose someone else, I won't do any favors!
- What's wrong now? - I know you won't believe me but,
I saw the man in the mama...
- Again? - I told you!
If I didn't have this belt, my pants would fall to the ground!
- Will we go in there? - Sure!
I'll stay here, watching this lock. It's valuable, an antique.
You'll come with us.
You only abuse me because I'm so skinny.
OK, grab this whistle, that will make you feel calmer.
If you're in danger, whistle and we'll come out to help you.
I remember a door in this spot.
- Sure? - Yeah! - Light on.
What's happened? Ah...
Did you hear that noise?
Professor, turn off the light.
Let's go, now!
- Santo, are you OK? - Are you hurt?
I'm fine, how are you?
- All's in order. - I salute you, you fought bravely, Parakeet.
That's me, fierce as a lion when I'm provoked.
- I don't remember this. - That's the way I like it.
- What's wrong with you? - I swallowed the... whistle!
- Silly idea. - That was your... fault!
- You... hit me. - You fool! - What do we... do now?
Easy, have a look.
Well, we've found out that the hooded man is interested in what we came here for.
Surely.
OK, let's go forward.
- We'll meet in the barracks. - Allow us to kill them with the guns.
No way. We've already learned everything we need.
From now on, let's wait and see, let Santo guide the search.
On our way!
- Now we'll know the truth. - Count Dracula! King of the vampires!
What are you doing, Parakeet?
He looks a lot like my uncle.
Don't be a fool, stand up!
No Santo, don't do it.
Let's walk away, please.
- Let's go! - It's the spitting image of my uncle!
It's good to get out! Let's go, I'm afraid of what might happen next.
- Don't worry, it's all over now. - You're wrong, this is just the beginning of unfortunate events.
I'll shut the door.
Now I'll translate the text in Serbian, to find the path to the treasure on the medallion.
You're missing one important thing, Santo.
- In the excitement, we forgot the ring. - Aw, right!
Both objects are complementary, the two are required to decipher the map.
How could I forget that detail!
I'll be back for the ring.
Santo, please forget about this, please return the medallion to its place.
- What? - I can't help it, I feel a dark omen over us.
I'm scared, we shouldn't touch these relics,
people should not get in the way of the unknown.
However, I must continue for two reasons:
To prove those sages, who mocked my experiment, that I was right.
And find the famous treasure of the vampire which will serve to assist the poor.
Morning, what's up?
Why have you called?
I've decided that tonight we'll go get the ring of the vampire.
- Who? - You, Sepulveda and me.
You guys go, I won't go to the cemetery or end up dead.
You go there, while I take care of the house and the girl,
- Deal? - No sir, you come with us. Right?
Considering those arguments, I will.
Fine, we'll find a way to keep Luisa out of this. The appointment is at midnight.
- The ring is gone! - Remember the black hooded man.
I bet you he stole the thing!
- You're clever, I salute you. - Moron!
Wait for me!
Hands up! Everyone!
Stay still!
Santo, don't make me kill you.
Santo, I have a deal to propose.
You have the medallion, while I've got the ring of the vampire,
so let's join forces and together decipher the Serbian text.
- And then? - We split the treasure equally, deal?
No way, you would use the money for evil purposes.
- That's your last word? - Yes.
Santo, I've respected your life because it favored my plans,
but since you refuse to cooperate there's no reason for you to stay alive, or your friends.
Hold on,
even if you kill us all, that will not give you the medallion.
And we are interested in the ring.
I've noticed that this young man is a great wrestler,
so how about if Santo fights him, and that will decide who takes possession of the two objects?
Great idea! Are you ready, my son?
Fine, the fight will be in two weeks, before an auditorium full of people.
- Agreed. - At the end of the fight, the winner will receive the missing object.
On our way!
Wow, that's been around, right?
Sorry, Santo, that was the only thing that crossed my mind to save our lives.
You did well; but who can guarantee that they'll not lay a trap and renege on the agreement?
That man is clever enough, but we must fight fire with fire.
We must think of a plan. We'll catch him when the wrestling match ends.
Don't worry, in the end the treasure will be in our hands.
Look Santo, the correct maneuver should be like this.
Now, don't lift him by the hair, because that's a rough thing,
but when standing, repeat the dose.
Now, you shouldn't lift the poor man, by pulling his ears, that's unnecessary roughness.
But you may grab him and drop him gently.
- Piece of cake, isnt? - You're kind to help me, let's talk in my dressing room.
Why do you laugh?
I'm not afraid, come here!
- I'm all ears. - Look X, I'm in a tricky business, and may need your help.
You can count on me for anything. And all my crew as well.
Look, always wear this radio receiver.
If I'm ever in danger, I'll call you by my clock radio.
OK.
* Sensational fight * Two out of three falls. No time limit.
Go on, Santo!
Enter!
- Good evening. - Good evening.
I salute you, you're a great wrestler.
It is not easy to beat my son cleanly.
You've defeated him, here's our agreement.
I guess there's not much else to say. Excuse me.
Hold on! I must add that I won't stop until you're in the hands of the law.
Not at this time, due to our agreement.
I always keep my word.
I didn't expect anything else from a man like you, Santo.
Good evening.
Before taking a step, I always take precautions.
Have a look!
I took a picture of the ring, we'll get that medallion soon.
These fools think they've won the war and know nothing about the terrible plan I have in mind.
What's happened? I've been waiting for you in the garden.
I was about to go catch up, Paquita.
- Nice medallion, is it yours? - No, this is Santo's.
- Can we play with it? - Nah, it's not a toy for children.
- I like it. - Yeah, It looks beautiful, but you musn't touch it.
- Why? - This has been wrought by bad people.
We'll take the stake out of him, and he'll return to life, killing whoever has his jewels.
I mean Santo and his pals.
- Take it out of him! - Me, boss?
Yeah, you. You've told us that you're brave.
- Not me. - You coward. Get out!
Get out of here!
Look me in the eye, Luisa.
You're under my command.
- Get dressed and follow me. - Yes, master.
You jerks! I ordered you to stand guard and escape in case that guy shows up!
Yes, boss, but I thought a bullet would be enough for him!
You fool! No bullet can kill a vampire.
We'll take a look; I hope that Santo and his pals are dead.
If so, I know how to kill the vampire and steal his objects.
Once I have these objects, I'll fly to Transylvania so the Serbian words may be translated.
So the treasure will be ours! On our way!
Jose! Jose, what happened to you?
Master! A man, with weird clothing...
wearing a medallion on his chest,
took Miss Luisa away...
Professor! Parakeet!
Santo calling X. Santo calling X. These are my instructions...
I bet they are carrying both the medallion and the ring. Let's go after them.
Black mask calling. Black mask calling...
Hello, this is Dandy.
Dandy, join me. We must stop Santo's car.
Understood Boss, over and out.
Go after them!
Stay there! Hands up!
Santo, are you OK?
Let's find out who this black masked man really is.
Doctor Curl!
Officer, this man is yours.
We'll go to the station later to bring charges against him.
Go on, we've already wasted enough time!
- Let me have a look. - No, on our way. It's getting late.
Years ago, enemy hands tried to stop our immortality,
but we are back.
Look, here is Mara, your beloved friend.
I myself pulled the stake from his heart.
Here is your Vampire court.
Due to the absence of my vital power,
they slept in the dark nebula humans know as "death".
Now, all together, we will look for the human blood we need to live.
You've arrived in time to witness the initiation ritual of the undead.
Look at the initiation of my mate, and then you will be punished with death.
You dared to desecrate my refuge.
- Now what? - Wait and see. It's nearly dawn.
Mara!
He's about to sacrifice her!
Now!
Daylight! Damn light!
We are saved by a hair!
I can't understand what's happened here? It's a miracle!
No miracle, Doctor. All this has been my doing.
- Hello Santo, the plan worked? - Perfect!
- Who are they, Santo? - My fellow wrestlers.
I gave instructions to X to put an explosive charge in the vault of this cave,
and the bomb exploded at my signal, using the clock radio.
You've seen the result.
Well, I don't see any enemies; Where is the danger you spoke of?
- There! - What's that?
- A vampire. - What!?
A human vampire, and the rest of them are the remains of female vampires.
So, that was it, eh?
OK Santo, take an aspirin and I'll see you there...
On our way, boys!
It seems like they didn't believe me.
- People are quite incredulous. - I'm glad this is all over now.
You were right, Luisa,
now I understand your words:
humans shouldn't cross the threshold of the unknown.
Let's go.
