I haven't got time to argue!
Oh, isn't it convenient? Or doesn't it fit in with your plans? Don't you ever think of anything or anyone than yourself?
Victor? Victor! Victor, open the door! Victor, please!
What do you want?
There's cholera. It's an epidemic! The city's been placed under martial law. Are you listening to me, Victor?
Yes. And?
The militia's arriving to quarantine the city. Most of us are getting out while we still can. Krempe knows you're here. What if he tells the authorities?
Goodbye, Henry.
Victor, it's me. Elizabeth. Can you hear me? Victor, I have to see you.
Go away.
Please, Victor! I won't leave here until you see me.
Come in the side door. Alone!
What's happened to you? How can you live here like this? And that stench.
Don't go in there!
He shuts the doors
We have to leave. It isn't safe.
No, I have to stay.
Even if it means you'll die?
Yes.
Well, let me help you.
No, that's impossible.
We made a promise. Victor, I beg you.
Look, I know that this is difficult for you to understand..but I cannot abandon this work now. It is too important. Not just for me, but, believe me, for everyone. And it must come first.
Before us?
Elizabeth... I love you so much, but...
Goodbye.
She runs out
I have done something - so terrible, so evil, that I am frightened that if I tell you the truth, that I will lose you.
You'll lose me if you don't.
