All language subtitles for Legend Of The Werewolf

Many years ago, in Central Europe,
thousands of people were driven from

homes and out of their motherland,
simply because their customs and beliefs

not accord with those of the state.

In the grim forests...

It was not unusual to be attacked by
wolves, and for a wife to die in

was commonplace.

What makes this story unique is that
this particular child, instead of being

torn to pieces by the wolf pack that
killed his father, was accepted by them,

warmed by the females, even protected by
the males.

Why this should have been, we can only
hazard a guess.

Perhaps it was the time, midnight on the
eve of Christmas, when traditionally...

The wild beast is said to guard the
cradle of a newborn child.

This story was handed down

from generation to generation.

told and retold until it became legend.

could have done with some of them to
feed these mongrels.

Anyhow, this looks as good a place as
any to set up shop for the night.

Yeah, go and see what you can find for
our supper.

Oh, wake up, you lazy bitch.

It's well enough to be done.

All right, all right, you old goat.

I'm coming.

What is it?

gonna find something for your pot.

Oh, come on, lightning.

Here's your supper.

But it behaved like an animal.

It's a boy.

How can't you see that? It's a boy.

Poor thing.

Thing's right.

He looked like a boy, but he behaved
like an animal.

Why, that's it.

He's a boy and an animal.

He's a wolf boy. That's what he is.

Let's see.

What is that?

You shot him, you great oaf. What are
you doing to that boy?

Lean him up a bit. Not too much mind.

He's going to be the making of us,
whatever he is. He's going to be our

attraction.

That's it, ladies and gentlemen.

Walk up, walk right up and see the most
amazing show on earth.

Maestro Pomponi presents his amazing
exhibition of the incredible and

dog with human intelligence.

Incredible feat of strength.

Plus, that is attraction, wolf boy,
either wolf or human.

And now, my friends, I'm about to reveal
something that will be imprinted on

your memories for the rest of time. I am
proud, indeed, honored and privileged

to reveal not just a tattooed lady, not
just a lady that's

tattooed all over.

I give you Princess Gamara, the direct
descendant of the royal

family of Russia itself.

Princess, will you do us the honor of
showing us the tattoos that cover...

The artistic designs that the princess
has so graciously shown us, ladies and

gentlemen, represent the flags of all
nations.

Every inch of the princess's body is
covered in a like manner. Every inch!

You can take my word for that.

However, you will not expect a lady of
her breeding to expose herself further

public. So, princess!

The one thing that no one else had ever
seen before.

Is he a man or animal?

It'll be for you to judge.

For the first time ever, the only one in
captivity at war.

He's a bit shy.

As the maestro predicted, the wolf boy
became their star attraction.

Mengy bloody lot.

and now, for the first time, the boy had
friends.

Human friends.

But as he grew up, he developed into a
normal, healthy young man, and his value

to the little show was lost.

The maestro would have thrown him out,
but for the intervention of his wife,

who'd come to like the strange young
man.

He would meet a pretty girl, and he
would love her until death.

Charming.

Nice.

You will meet a pretty girl.

Etoile, are you listening to me?

They wouldn't have it.

Cash or nothing.

I've forgotten we'd raise this dump
before.

What are we going to do now?

Well...

You can cook that for a start.

I'll think of something in the morning.

What is it?

Wolves.

They'll have a good lightning if they
get close enough to have a sniff at him.

If you can kill one of them, it'll
frighten the others up.

Get going!

Close that door.

It's freezing in here.

Tiny.

Hey, if you've never seen a dead one,
you've seen one now.

Come, give me a hand.

Come quick, give me a hand.

his terrible legacy, the boy fled.

He traveled for days, sheltering under
trees, feeding from the land, until he

found himself on the outskirts of a
great city.

them was, didn't you?

Looking for a job?

Give us a hand here, if you like.

Of course, I can't pay you much.

There's a place back there you can
sleep, save you paying for lodgings.

It pongs a bit in the hot weather
because the sewer runs underneath, but

monkeys, they don't seem to mind.

What do you say?

Don't know.

Well, if you don't know what he does.

All right, then.

Start right away.

Clean up a bit.

I'll give you a hand.

A bit later.

Hey.

Come on, come on. You haven't finished
it, lad.

Oh, here they come, the little darlings.

Morning, ladies.

Three today.

Fifteen sous.

Thirty to anyone else.

Yeah, just off for a quick... Off on
business, ladies.

If there's anything particularly you may
care to see, my new assistant here will

be pleased to show you.

Hello. Hello.

Can I show you the animals?

No, thank you. We've seen them. Yes,
every day.

You come here every day?

For lunch.

Would you like some?

Yes, thanks.

Oh,

you haven't got much.

I'll go and get my own.

Funny boy.

Like some?

No, thanks. It's good.

I'm sure.

No, it's the garlic.

Don't you like it? We do.

For customers that don't. Oh, you work
in a shop?

I suppose you could say that.

More of a house, really.

Oh, you work in a house? What's that
about? Never mind.

What's your name? Etoile.

Etoile?

Well, that's what they call me.

Etoile. I rather like it. What's yours?

Christine. Christine.

That's nice.

This is Zoe, and that's Annabel.

Cheers.

Come on, girls.

Time we were going?

Yes, we'd better.

She'll be waking soon. I'm in a right
mood. She always is. She? Who's the she?

Well, it's... It was nice meeting you,
Toile.

Shall I see you again tomorrow?

Yes, I expect so. Good.

I'll look forward to that.

Ta -ta, then.

Many old zoo.

Why? To see the wild animals, of course.

I think you see enough of them in here.

They've got a nice new keeper there, a
young one.

Oh, where's he from?

He's a country boy. You can have them.

Christine thought he was rather nice.

Nice, yes.

But they need watching once they get
going.

You ought to be careful, Christine.

Hello, what's this? Baby clothes?

Anne -Marie, what have you been hiding?
from us. From my sister, you fool.

I should sincerely hope not. We've
enough troubles here as it is.

And do please show some consideration.

I'm not at all well today.

Another hangover, madame.

I do wish you wouldn't be so blunt, Zoe.

No, not another hangover. The same one.

You may remember the prefect of police
was here last night. And the minister.

Some of the men that come here nowadays,
their manners are disgusting.

Must think they're still at home.

I shouldn't think so, madame.

Christine, I'm in no mood for your
warped sense of humour.

Go and open me a fresh bottle of
champagne. There's a dear.

Do you think you ought?

No, I don't think I ought. If I don't, I
think I shall die.

And then where would you be?

Don't answer.

Just get the champagne.

And, Anna -Marie, will you draw the
curtain on that window, please? The sun.

It's a lovely day out, madame. No doubt.

Not very cold.

Never mind. Just open it.

And gently... Sorry.

Never mind. Perhaps it'll clean the
carpet.

Just pour it.

And we'll all have a little glass.

Only one, mind. I don't want you
misbehaving yourselves.

And we'll clean up this mess.

Then you'll have to get ready for
tonight.

Tonight. All over again.

If this woman had committed suicide,
these burns wouldn't stop just here, a

inches into the esophagus.

They'd continue right down into the
abdomen.

No, no, Max.

Sorry.

It's another murder for you to
investigate.

But what about the poison bottle?

The burns around the mouth?

All there to put you off the scent?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

How did she die, then?

Dramatically. And I mean that literally.

Whoever did it knew his Shakespeare.
Have a look in the left ear.

You'll see some tiny blisters as poison
poured into it.

Pandits. Pandits?

His father was dispatched in a similar
fashion.

Sought to leave no trace.

That was done while she was asleep?

Mm -hmm.

The poison would have been heated first
to blood temperature.

She wouldn't have known anything about
it until it was too late.

Ingenious.

Her son told me... Wait a moment, Paul.

Her son is an actor of sorts.

He should be familiar with the bard.

Is he also a fisherman of sorts? Do you
have to know?

I don't know why it was done, but you
see how the wrists have been tied with

something very strong and thin.

A fishing gut, perhaps?

Or a musician, a violinist. A violin
string would be just as good.

He plays the cello.

It's the same thing, only bigger.

Look, I'm not suggesting you should
actually start oiling the guillotine,

think you could do worse than start your
inquiries with him.

Thanks, Bob.

Always glad to help.

Me and my good friend.

Here we are.

Too good for you to do for my dinner.

Here they come again, the little
darlings.

Wait a moment, Marcus.

Patience, my friend.

Morning, ladies.

Morning. Three again today.

Fifteen sous, thirty to anyone else.

You say that every time?

Yeah, it's about time. You let us in for
nothing.

Oh, yes, you're all right if you do the
same for me, eh?

Oh, Phoebe.

Come in, Harquist.

Got something for you.

Made it myself.

It looks it.

What? Cheese.

Still all right? Good.

You haven't got a coat.

Coat? It's going to rain soon.

No. It will.

I know.

You'll get wet.

How do you know?

Just do.

They know too.

Look.

I can't see them doing anything.

I can.

When did you learn all this about
animals?

Don't remember.

Always.

There, I told you.

Come on.

You'll be dry in here.

What, are you mad?

They won't hurt you.

And the professor.

Excellent. The minister.

This is Inspector Gerard, one of my
ablest investigators.

And Professor Cataflanque, our judicial
surgeon.

Good evening.

He attempts to ascertain the cause of
death in some of our more problematic

cases.

Well, Gerard, anything interesting to
show our visitors?

The professor has just finished a post
-mortem on the McCardier woman, Monsieur

le Prefect.

McCardier?

He has suspected suicide by poisoning
her.

Ah, yes, yes, of course. And?

The professor thinks it was murder.

Oh?

It was murder.

How can you be so sure of that?

We cannot go jumping to conclusions, you
know, gentlemen.

Not when there is human life at stake.

Would you like me to show you?

I've had to cut the body open. Thank
you.

You see, if she had committed suicide,
this tube here, the gullet... Oh,

do you have to leave? Thank you,
professor.

Very... informative.

Now that wasn't kind of.

I know, but I enjoyed it. They're
pompous asses. Now I have to wash my

again.

Here, son.

End of the month.

Share our day.

Here we are. Six francs in here.

Two for you and four for me.

There.

Four sous short.

What? Four sous short.

Oh, is it?

Must have miscounted.

What are you going to do with it, eh?

Don't know.

If I was your age.

I'd have taken out a young lady. You
know, dancing, bit of chick to chick,

Ho, ho, ho, baby.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

Yes. I'd take Christine dancing.

Christine?

You know what she does?

Yes, she told me.

And you don't mind?

Why, she don't mind.

She's a servant, same as me.

That's what she told you?

Yes. She does housework.

Housework. Ho, ho, ho, ha, ha.

Housework. Well, good luck, that's all I
can say. Have you

told

that boy what we do here?

No, why should I?

Well, I should, if I were you.

He's a country boy, and they're the
prudish ones.

They save up their sous to come here.

and strap their hands in horror if
they're wise or sweetheart so much as

ankle in public.

Well, I'm not saying he's like that, but
you shouldn't let him find out for

himself. Places, girls.

Zoe, Christine.

Wake up, Annabelle.

Ah, my dear prefect. Back so soon?

How nice.

I'll make my own way back.

Well?

Have you brought a message or what?

I want to see Christine.

What?

Christine.

I've come to take a dancing.

I'm afraid you've made a mistake young
man.

And you?

No, madame.

I shall hand you over to the police and
prefer the most serious charges.

Madame, not the police.

It would be most imprudent.

If that is your wish, monsieur.

It is, madame.

I can only express my deepest regret
about what has happened.

I hope it won't deter you from returning
another time when there'll be no

charge, of course.

That's right.

The gentleman has paid.

Paid.

Now you, get out.

Out!

Out!

Etoile?

Etoile!

What right have you to burst in like
that?

Making a fool of me, breaking up the
place. Do you think you own me or

something? I've never been so humiliated
in all my... Never!

Well?

Why do you do it?

Why? Because... Because... What's it got
to do with you anyway?

Why, Justine?

I'll tell you why.

My mother died and left me an orphan. A
bloody orphan. Someone nobody wanted.

So I was sent to an orphanage, and you
know what that's like.

I stuck it as long as I could and then I
ran away here to Paris.

That's when I started on the back
streets.

Then I met Zoe and she took me to
Madame.

Bought off the police, looked after me.
Better than my own mother, better than

anyone ever did.

If I was to ask you to marry me... Marry
you?

Yes.

But what have you got?

You've got nothing.

I love you, Christy.

Look at well.

I'm very flattered.

Don't think I'm not.

But marry you?

It wouldn't work, now would it?

Good friends, eh?

What you want to fuss about?

All right.

That's just the moon.

Nothing to get excited about.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

I trust everything was to your

satisfaction tonight, monsieur.

Thank you, madame. Until next Friday,
then. Good night, monsieur.

Good night, madame.

Sorry to interrupt, Professor.

We've got another one here.

Perhaps you'd rather finish your supper
first. It's a bit, um... No, no, no.

No point in wasting time.

Oh, dear.

That's very nasty.

Where did this happen? At the zoo?

Picked it up in the street, sir.

Then you'd better warn them to start
looking for an escaped animal.

There's a claw mark.

Now, these are the incisors that
penetrated the flesh.

You see how they fit exactly.

but the jugular was torn out.

It's much too wide for the dog.

Would certainly seem like it, Professor.

Paul? Mm -hmm?

What's of this about an escaped animal?

A wolf.

A wolf? Big one, too. Have a look over
there.

This is 19th century, Paul, not Middle
Ages. There are no wolves in Paris

in the zoo.

Perhaps this one didn't see the
signposts. What are you getting at? That

killed by a wolf.

The prefect says it was the work of a
maniac, a homicidal maniac.

It's possible, of course, but I don't
think so.

Anyway, he's having all the asylums
checked.

I beg your pardon, Inspector.

Yes? There's another two who've just
arrived.

Two?

Just like this one, sir.

Prefect's loaner tickets have been busy,
Max.

From the same area?

Yes, sir.

This case is beginning to interest me.

Yes, well, don't get too interested,
Paul.

Remember what happened last time? I'd
better get down there.

And I'll see you again tonight.

Yes. Oh, no.

No. Yes.

Very interesting.

Very interesting.

Just a minute.

Just a minute. You can't go through
there. What do you mean I can't go

I work here on the innkeeper.

All right. I think so, too.

She's going to be great for business,
isn't it, eh?

Here.

You all right, lad?

Have you?

I know, I was young once.

So you missed all the fun, eh?

There were three murders here last
night. Two of them right outside our

The police has closed the place. We
can't let no one in. Why? Why, God

But you should have been here, son.

It was horrible.

You should have seen the corpses.

Please.

Turn you up, does he?

I'll get out in the fresh air, I was
you. Clear head.

Me, I'm off for breakfast.

Then back to bed.

See you later.

Here, you, here.

We're closed, can't you read?

Closed by the police.

Well, I...

I'm from the police department.

What, you?

Police? In an advisory capacity.

I'm particularly interested in your
wolves.

Why? Why them particularly?

Last night's murders. They were executed
in the most savage manner, almost as if

the victims had been attacked by a wild
animal.

Wolves? Mm -hmm.

You thought they, them two... Here, lad,
here, come and listen to this one.

This gentleman, he thought them murders
was done by these.

May I share the joke?

I tell you, Cardinal, these two is so
old, their fangs is so rotten, they'd

difficulty in chewing through a
meatball, let alone a... This caption is

They're not dangerous.

Dangerous?

Show him, lad.

Show him how dangerous they are.

I would be obliged.

Tell the truth.

There isn't one animal here as is
dangerous.

They're all too old.

Them notices is just for the customers.

All right, son.

Got a fetching weight with the animals,
ain't he, eh?

It's a rare gift.

I hope it serves you well.

Thank you for your help.

Now that you've satisfied yourself that
my little family is blameless, can I

open up again?

I'll have a word with the inspector.

Thank you, Professor Katter.

Good luck.

Good day.

I'm so sorry, mademoiselle.

I'm afraid the zoo is closed.

Hmm?

The zoo.

Closed. Oh, that's all right. I have a
friend who works here.

Oh, I see.

Now, pardon me.

Hello.

I've just heard about the murders.

Are you all right?

Yes.

You don't look it. I've had a fever. Can
I get you anything?

No. You sure? You look as if... Leave me
alone!

All right, if that's what you want, I'll
go.

Been upsetting him, have you?

Shouldn't keep him out all night.

Not good for him.

Max? I've been thinking about those
three murders the other night. Did you

notice a certain consistency about the
state of the bodies?

Such as?

All three were quite remarkably clean.
Just as if they'd taken a bath before

going out.

Yes, well, some people will do just
that.

Not many in my experience.

I reckon it's not merely coincidence
that... All three were in the same

condition.

What sort of clothes were they wearing?

Paul, you are not to interfere.

What, me?

Interfere, my dear fellow. I heard you
were snooping around that little zoo.

Ah, yes, but now that's different.

I had to convince myself that he wasn't
a wolf.

Keep out, Paul.

Please.

I brought them here, Professor.

Oh, have you?

Good man.

Let's have a look.

I made boots.

This class worked in a ship.

Excellent material.

I was in the district the other day
where the bodies were found.

Poor neighborhood.

No one living there could afford this
sort of luxury.

Oh, wouldn't you say?

Coincidence? I just told the inspector.
I don't think so.

August the 4th.

5th.

11 p .m.

There's another one here, Professor.

9 .30.

Two men.

Consecutive times.

Piano. Oh,

so you're back.

Ah, good morning.

Lovely day, isn't it?

Police can afford piano now, can they?

Would you care to join me?

And one for my friend, please.

And how's business at the zoo? What
business? You closed me down, remember?

Has the order not been rescinded? Who?

You can take it from me. You're free to
reopen.

Drown it?

Thank you, Doctor.

Here's your help.

And yours.

Still on this case, then?

Yes.

Yes, I am.

In fact, you might be able to help me.

Could you tell me if there's a... How
shall I put it?

A house of entertainment anywhere near?

Yeah.

Of course, is there?

It's not open in the daytime.

Is it far?

It's not very.

There.

How convenient.

Ah, good morning.

We don't open during the day. So I was
told, nevertheless.

Thank you so much, my dear.

Do you have an appointment?

Not yet.

I'll fetch madame. Thank you.

Yes. What do you want?

Christine.

Good morning.

This is a most unusual time to call,
monsieur.

I appreciate that, madame, but then I'm
an unusual man.

We do not cater for unusual tastes,
monsieur.

Oh,

dear, a slight misunderstanding.

Please allow me to explain. I am a
judicial surgeon.

Attached to the prefecture, the police.

I can't.

Police?

Three murders of a particularly brutal
nature were committed in this area

recently. You are aware of that, madame,
no doubt.

Well? It occurred to me that the victims
might possibly have been visitors here.

I have their names. My clients never use
their real names here, monsieur.

You understand?

Ah. Of course.

Then would it be asking too much for you
to identify them?

But they're dead.

But still recognisable.

You mean you want me to come... To the
city moor, yes, will you?

I most certainly will not. I've never
heard of such a thing.

It really would be most helpful, madame.

Helpful? It's grotesque and decent.

I could ask the prefect to make it
official.

The prefect?

He won't do anything, I can assure you.

Oh, you know him, then?

I think that's my business, monsieur.
Now, you must be a very busy man.

Annabelle, show this gentleman out.

Couldn't she fix you up, then?

No, no, I'm afraid she couldn't. I can't
think why not.

You look all right to me. You should see
some of them.

Well, as the saying goes, it takes all
sorts to make a world.

Just like that, General.

Yes, quite still.

Quite still for 15 minutes.

You ready?

I'm uncovering the lens now.

Monsieur de Gaulle?

Excuse me.

Monsieur de Gaulle. Yes, why, please.

I'm Monsieur de Gaulle's assistant.

You wish to make an appointment?

Yes. For a portrait, of course. For
several people.

Yes, I think I can fit you in.

Quite still, quite still.

Won't be long.

Can they come tomorrow at two?

Unfortunately, no.

Oh, five o 'clock.

No, no, no, no, no, the light's failing
at five. I'm afraid they won't be able

to come here at all.

Oh, you wish me to visit their place of
residence?

Precisely. Yes, well, it's very
inconvenient.

It's all this apparatus, and I'm not
strong.

Where is their residence?

It's not far away.

The city morgue.

Morgue? They're dead.

Quiet still.

You want me to photograph?

Yes. Yes, please.

I'll expect you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Quiet still.

Hold on.

The wolf cases. Are the bodies still
here?

Yes, sir.

But they'll have to be moved soon. It's
this hot weather, sir. Well, hang on to

them for a little while longer. Pack
some ice around the door. But there have

been complaints already, sir. Oh, well,
close the doors and open the windows.

There's a good chap.

Whenever you're ready, monsieur.

Yes.

Moulin?

Left a bit.

No, my left.

Yes.

I'm just focusing the lens. It's a
technical expression. You do understand?

You ready?

If you could steel yourself.

It's a grim task, I know, but of the
utmost importance.

Yes.

Ready? Quite still.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

You'll let me have the likenesses today,
won't you? Yes.

Answer the door, Tanya.

And hurry up with the champagne,
Christine.

Right away, madame. Oh, it's you again.

I've been making some inquiries about
you. You're not a policeman at all. And

you've no right to be asking me
questions.

I never made any claim to being a
policeman.

I'm a police surgeon.

May I ask who told you? You may not.

I see.

Nevertheless, I'm sure you wouldn't wish
to obstruct the course of justice.

And to that end, I've brought along some
pictures which I should like you to

study.

Um, I'm afraid they're rather shocking.

I'm not easily shocked, monsieur.

No, I'm sure you're not, madame.

These are the victims of the murderer.

Have you ever seen any of them before?

No, monsieur, I've never, never seen
them.

You knew these men, didn't you? You have
no right to question my girls.

Oh, no.

No, that is very true.

I apologize for disturbing you.

He knows the way.

Menzel. Christine.

It is Christine, isn't it?

What do you want?

Could we talk for a moment?

What about?

Come and sit down.

Would you like a brandy?

Yes, I would.

Brandy.

It's about these daguerretards.

You recognize the men, didn't you?

They were clients of yours?

Yes. They all came to see me the night
they were murdered.

Doesn't it strike you as rather odd that
all three should have called on you

that particular night?

They were regulars.

Well, I must admit, I'm completely
baffled.

I thought at first the attacks might
have been made by some wild animal.

A wolf, perhaps?

A wolf?

Hmm?

Oh, yes, yes.

What about the police? What do they
think?

They believe it was the work of a
lunatic, someone with a grudge against

clients. They could be right, of course.

Do you know of any such person?

No.

Nobody.

Now, Max, I have some more information
here.

So it's quite a new light on the case.
The case is closed, Paul.

As the prefects come around to your way
of thinking, he thinks you're right.

It was a wolf.

And so he's ordered all wolves in the
city zoos to be destroyed.

I won't do it!

I won't bloody well do it!

Just look at that! Just read that! Well,
we can't do it. Oh, can you?

Shit, I've got to get rid of them! By
order of the prefect of police! Get rid

them? Yeah, them!

Them wolves, as they constitute a
danger.

What do they mean, get rid of them? What
do they mean, get rid of them? What do

they mean?

It means you bloody well got to kill
them, that's what.

Otherwise they'll come and do it for us.

Me?

Oh, it'll have to be you, lad.

I mean, if I so much as squash a blue
bottle, I'll have to lie down after.

It'll have to be you.

Feel a bit rough, do you, lad?

I'm not surprised.

I don't feel too good myself.

A couple of mangy old things I know.

But they've been helping to keep me
these last ten years.

How? How will I do it?

Just have to bash them, son.

Bash them. On the head.

I ain't got no gun.

Tell you what, I'll put a little
something in their supper. Make them

They won't be so bad.

What do you say, all right, eh?

Me to do with him? He's got a fever,
that's what he's got. I'm not doing

Oh,

well, come on, let me have a look at
him.

Here.

Saying, all with their throats torn out.

If he didn't die from a shark, he would
have died anyway.

Must be an animal.

A wild animal, loose in Paris, that
nobody ever sees.

All right, well, now, give us time.

Oh, come, you don't seriously think that
if a wolf had been seen loping along

the boulevard, you wouldn't have heard
about it by now?

Now, you listen to me. Since you are so
clever, now, you tell me who did this,

eh? Now, you explain.

I wish I could, Max.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken like
that. You're exhausted, dear fellow.

Yes.

I'll be getting old.

Professor.

This one's still alive.

Just.

We'd best get him to hospital.

Professor.

We must get him to hospital.

We'll never reach it. I must do what I
can for him here. I need your

Yes, sir.

Help me.

I intend to. Who was attacked?

Who by?

Attacked.

Was it a wolf?

Not a wolf.

A man?

Not a man.

Can I get you anything else before I go,
sir?

No, Boulogne.

The last murders, when were they? Do you
remember?

About four weeks ago, sir.

Yes, it was four. I remember. Four
weeks. A month.

A month.

Yes, sir.

You notice the moon tonight?

Yes, sir.

It's a full moon, sir.

The same as it was last time.

Before he died, that man said he was
attacked not by a wolf, not by a man.

Does that suggest anything to you?

Yes, sir.

It does.

Utterly fantastic, of course.

Not to me, sir.

I'm a countryman from the Massif Central
district.

These things don't seem fantastic to us,
sir.

I wish I had a book on the subject.

I'll see what I can do for you, sir.

Thank you.

Paul, you're a doctor, a man of science.

You think science knows all the answers?
Well, I don't.

But a man that turns into an animal, how
can you believe that? A tadpole turns

into a frog?

We all believe that because we know it
happens. We've seen it. It's one of

nature's miracles.

Now, is it that strange if at a certain
time a man turns into an animal?

And just because of the moon? But why
not? The moon controls the oceans.

It drives some men insane, and tribes
all over the world still worship it. We

know these things, but surely there are
some we haven't experienced yet.

But if these things occur only at full
moon, they won't happen again for three

or four weeks.

Max, the full moon cycle started again
last night.

So it can all happen again tonight.

Unless we find him today.

Yes. But where do I look, Paul?

Our one witness died.

Where do I start?

In bed, getting some sleep.

I mean it, or you'll be fit for nothing.

What about you?

Ah, well, um... If you'll permit me...
Oh, let the police handle it. This is

just an idea, and it's much better for
me to follow it up on my own than try

explain.

Um... Have I your permission?

Have I any choice?

Not really.

Take care, my friend.

Thank you.

Would you be kind enough to ask
Mademoiselle Christine if... Christine,

speak to you urgently and alone.

Would you meet me at the cafe just as
quickly as you can?

You are done. You'd better put some
clothes on first.

Put some clothes on? That makes a change
in this place.

And he just disappeared into thin air.

There are plenty of places he could have
hidden.

But where, for instance?

I shouldn't be speaking to you about
him. You're wrong, Christine.

He asked me to help him. And you are,
believe me, if the police find him first

or a mob.

What can I do?

I want you to go to his quarters at the
zoo and wait.

You'll stay there, won't you?

Boulogne!

Boulogne. A map showing the sewers in
this vicinity. Could you lay your hands

such a thing?

Do you think that's where he is, sir?
It's possible.

You there, boy.

Strange.

Strange.

I thought we really liked you.

A map of the sewer cellar.

Oh, good. Good man. Well done. Thank
you.

Yes.

Yes, you see? At every murder point, an
exit from the sewers.

Now, that's where he is, Boulogne. It
must be. It explains why he's never been

seen.

Professor.

Don't you think we should inform the
inspector?

And what would he do?

Fill the sewers with police.

Hound the thing to destruction,
probably.

And then what will we learn?

Nothing.

It's all in here.

The precautions to be taken, the risks
to be run.

Sir, you are going alone.

And you will follow what the book says
carefully, sir.

And you know we must have a silver
bullet, don't you, sir? I have some

candlesticks at home.

No, it must not be handled

Good

luck, sir

He hasn't come back? No.

I think I know where he is. Where?

Manhole cover.

Where is he, then?

Where's the boy?

There should be a manhole somewhere here
leading to the sewers. Not used

anymore. But where is it?

Under here somewhere.

What do you expect to find down there
then?

Say?

If you come out and show yourself, I
won't shoot. You have my word.

If you give yourself up, I'll try to
help you.

Otherwise, the police will back you
down.

They'll find you wherever you hide and
destroy you.

Your friends were destroyed.

You'll suffer the same fate.

Christine knows I'm here. She's waiting
for you.

I'm alone, I swear.

If you like, I'll throw my gun away.

I know I can trust you.

You're not his enemy. He won't harm you.

But you mustn't reject him.

I had to do it, Paul.

Don't tell me.

I'm sorry.

You did your duty, Max.

You only did your duty.

Thank you.
