In this chapter, the ghost of Dr. Bledsoe shows up at the docks. He's there to rescue his son, who's been kidnapped by Dracula's ghost. The ghost says that they're here to help Dr. Owen because he's bound up in the bead, which is like a lock of hair. The bead can control the tide of the undead, which means that the ghost's father can come back and help him. He says that he'll come back later to rescue Owen. He tells Owen that the tide is already midnight, and that he can show him the real undead tide. Owen says that's the best way to show his father that the undead tide is under his control. He asks Owen why he still wants to lie to him, and Owen says it's because he remembers all the memories he had from the past.
