INSERT:
 
   Photograph of Lucy.
 
BACK TO SCENE: Hibbs looks at the picture fondly, greatly
troubled. He decides to see if she is all right. He turns,
puts the picture back into the drawer and starts out.
 
221
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  (NIGHT)  FULL SHOT
Hibbs, going softly, but quickly, out the door.
 
222
INT. UPPER HALL  (NIGHT)  SEMI FULL SHOT
Hibbs, coming out of his door, tiptoes quickly over to the
door to Lucy's room.
 
223
INT. UPPER HALL  (NIGHT)  CLOSE SHOT
At Lucy's door, as Hibbs comes in. The sword has gone from
its place over the keyhole where Hibbs himself placed it.
This he notices now with a start of alarm. He looks down to
see if it has fallen. No sword. In genuine anxiety now, he
knocks on the door and calls:
 
TITLE:
 
   "Lucy!"
 
BACK TO SCENE: He waits. No answer. He knocks harder. He
calls again, more loudly. Frantic, he tries the door,
banging it, calling to her in a loud voice. He throws his
shoulder against the door. It gives a little.
 
224
INT. UPPER HALL  (NIGHT)  MED. SHOT
Taking in doors to Sir James' and Burke's rooms. Both doors
open and Burke and Sir James appear. They start forward, in
excitement. (Both are fully dressed.)
 
225
INT. UPPER HALL  (NIGHT)  MED. SHOT
Hibbs throwing his weight against the door. It crashes open
as Burke and Sir James come into scene. Hibbs rushes into
the room.
 
226
INT. LUCY'S ROOM  (NIGHT)  FULL SHOT
The room in darkness, Hibbs rushing in. Sir James and Burke
follow. Burke switches on the light. The room is empty.
Hibbs rushes to the dressing room door, looks in there,
turns back: "Empty!"
 
227
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  SEMI FULL SHOT
The great room downstairs. The Stranger, the man identified
as Roger Balfour, is sitting in the chair at the table.
Sitting with his back to the camera is the Man in the
Beaver Hat. Lucy, in a white thin negligee, is being led
into the room by the Bat Girl. She starts toward the
Stranger at the table with uncertain steps, then stops.
 
228
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  CLOSE UP
Lucy, staring out of scene, her lips trembling.
 
229
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  CLOSE UP
The Stranger at the table, looking out of scene at her with
large, spectral eyes, a bullet wound in his temple, the
pallor of death on his face.
 
230
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  MED. SHOT
The two of them, motionless for a few feet. Then Lucy
starts suddenly forward, kneeling at the Stranger's feet.
 
231
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  CLOSE UP
The Stranger, looking down at her with eyes of pity, saying
no word.

232
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  CLOSE UP
Lucy, looking up tremulously. When she raises her eyes, as
if in a prayer, and says:
 
TITLE:
 
   "Father! Father! I'm doing
   this for you!"
 
BACK TO SCENE: She finishes title.
 
233
INT. BALFOUR HOUSE  (NIGHT)  SEMI FULL SHOT
The Stranger puts his hand on Lucy's head, the Bat Girl at
one side, the Man in the Beaver Hat sitting watching them.
The whole effect is strange, fantastic, creepy.
 
234
INT. LUCY'S ROOM  (NIGHT)  MED. SHOT
The three men, Burke, Sir James, Hibbs. Burke is at the
open window, looking out, as though for something he might
be expecting. Hibbs is talking wildly to Sir James. He
cries out:

TITLE:

   "They're vampyrs, I tell you,
   and I'm going to destroy them --
   the way the book says--"
 
BACK TO SCENE: He finishes title and turns and runs madly
out of the scene, for the time being a maniac. Burke turns
quickly down from the window to Sir James, indicates off
and says:
 
TITLE:
 
    "They're coming!"
 
            CUT FROM TITLE TO:
 
235
INT. LUCY'S ROOM  (NIGHT)  CLOSE SHOT
Burke and Sir James, as Burke finishes title, indicating
off toward the window. "Who?" gasps Sir James in his
astonishment. Burke replies quickly, his manner brisk and
business like.
 
TITLE:
 
   "The Scotland Yard men you
   wrote for."
 
BACK TO SCENE: He finishes title. Sir James' relief is
prodigious. They start out toward the door.
 
236
EXT. HAMLIN HOUSE  (NIGHT)  SEMI LONG SHOT
An English car, turning in at the gate, drives toward the
house.
 
237
INT. HIBBS' ROOM  (NIGHT)  MED. SHOT
Hibbs, feverishly fingering the pages of the ancient book
until he finds what he wants, reads:
