The gypsies sees that their pursuers are catching up to them, so they stop and prepare to ambush them. In the ensuing battle, Quincey is wounded but kills the gypsy who shot him.

One gypsy is left. He jumps onto the wagon and hurries off to the castle. Van Helsing is unable to shoot the driver. Quincey is the first to mount his horse, though mortally wounded, and chases his quarry toward the castle. Dr. Seward and Jonathan follow him, with Van Helsing and Mina in pursuit too. At the castle entrance, the gypsy driver tries to close the gate to keep anyone else from entering. But Quincey manages to kick him aside and reaches the wagon carrying Dracula. But Quincey is too weak to act and falls to the ground. Harker and Dr. Seward arrive next. Seward looks after Quincey and Harker tells Van Helsing and Mina to hurry.
