After a long journey, Hutter arrives at the strange Count’s castle. Upon waking the next morning, Hutter discovers strange bite marks on his neck but has no idea of the terror he is facing. While signing the contract, the Count spots a portrait of Ellen and notices her beautiful neck.
The next day, Hutter explores the castle and finds Orlok sleeping in a coffin. After witnessing the eerie departure of the Count in the evening, Hutter hastily leaves the castle, fearing for his wife.
