Brotherhood of the Wolf Page #3

Synopsis: In 1765 something was stalking the mountains of central France. A 'beast' that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had killed over 100 people, to this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, wolf? hyena? or something supernatural? Whatever it was, shepherds had the same life-expectancy as the red-suited guys in 'Star Trek'. The Beast is a popular myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Until now... Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorized France in the mid-XVIIIth century, the movie aims to tell first and explain afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives

You haven't seen anything yet.

I have a dangerous job.

Not all men have manners like you.

That's a recollection on me.

That is a scandal in my house.

Valentine. What is this?

- I don't sleep with wizards.

What does it mean?

- He got snakes on his body.

Our reputation is at risk.

It's nothing, it is an Indian.

Not a wizard.

I don't want Indians.

- You hookers are difficult.

And, girls?

Who's going with the Redskin?

I double the price.

I like his sketches...

- Well, everything is gonna be alright...

Are you a wizard?

Are you going to sketch me?

If your not honest.

Several weeks passed...

...and the soldiers

could't find the Beast.

It was the 3th winter

under his lordship...

...and we knew

the snow and the cold...

...just like our weapons,

would not make it stop.

Think about the threatens God

announced through Mozes' mouth..

"I will come to you like a bear

lost her welps"

I shall tear your children

like a lion..

and send the Beast that will

consume you..

and your cattles,

and will make...

deserts of your roads."

How long will you stay angry, Lord?

One candle per victim.

Do you really think we live

in a rational time?

Mercy.

I ask forgiveness.

Mercy.

Bless me.

What is it, my son?

God punished me.

My children are gone.

I'm doomed.

We're all doommed.

Gather your men,

we leave at once.

Warn Mani, i see you on the way.

Goodeavening, friend of the wolves.

I'v got something for you.

I would like to speak with you, Marianne.

Alone.

In 10 days my mother and father

will both go away.

I am not as free as you are.

Bring me the torch.

Bring the torch.

The storm starts and they are tired.

We'd better go home.

No. Let's find the girl.

I found the child.

Captain, those traps you set catch

more farmers than wolves.

Your men are leaded by misuse

of power.

And since your chase the wolf has

killed 12 times.

I don't understand.

It shouldn't have escaped.

What?

- It shouldn't have escaped.

And you, Knight, do you

know what kind of wolf it is?

Gentlemen...

The only certainty I have,

is that it's not a wolf.

A wolf does not attack people.

I observed them in Canada.

Maybe there the wolves are different.

A wild wolf would attack anybody.

If it gets frantic,

it will die in 2 weeks.

And still it's running around here

for 2 years now.

By the way, I saw wounds a wolf

could never have made.

And I found, in a body of a victim,

a piece of iron.

And?

- And?

No animal has iron teeth.

Is the Beast not an animal then?

Well, how do we catch it?

As we are talking, it kills people.

I think we should listen carefully

to Fronsac.

So, Knight, you think

The Beast is not an ordinary animal.

I'm glad you admit its something

extraordinary.

I don't admit anything Sir.

I only have my doubts.

Knight, do you have something

left to say?

No gentlemen.

Gentlemen, I received this from Paris.

Captain Duhamel, His Majesty

was informed about your mistakes..

... and I was asked to get

you off this case.

You and your men leave at once

to your regiment in Langogne.

Sir Beauterne is already on his

way to Langogne.

His Majesty gave orders to kill

the wolf.

...and he is the only one who is

allowed to hunt in the district.

Gentlemen.

Have you forgiven me?

I would like to know my totem?

Do i say that properly?

I would say...

...a mermaid.

You are never serious.

I will ask your Redskinned man.

And the Beast? Did you see it?

No.

- Don't you want to talk about it?

I could only make some absurd

suppositions.

When I say the Beast is made

of flesh and iron...

... that it can think and dissapear

when it wants to.

What would you think?

- That our air would make you talk nonsense.

People would think that it hides

for me.

You haven't been long here and

you already want to be finished.

Did you think the Beast would

surrender that easily?

Maybe it's scared of you.

- Am I so scary then?

You enjoy a lot more from a

difficult victory.

Jean-Francois said you wanted to

go to Africa.

It's a dream of a taxidermist

who is fed up with the winter.

And you? Don't you want to

discover other regions?

The women have more duties then

desires.

Do you see Sardis on the walls?

Does he keep an eye on you?

- No

It watches me.

Alone with you in the park.

Who knows what will happen.

Come, the priest will catch a

cold.

Goodnight, Knight.

Goodnight, Knight.

You're in love.

- I don't know.

I know.

The maps?

I didn't need them for you.

Let us drink.

To Mrs. Morangias.

Why?

Her brother was there too that night.

Did you sleep with him?

With him?

He is not to be touched.

He looks, he drinks...

...and when he's drunk, he talks

in his sleep. Like all men.

Do I talk in my sleep?

What do I say then?

Do you know how Florentine women keep

their men at home?

They give their husbands slowly working

poison each morning.

...and each night an antidote.

Men who sleep elsewhere will have

a bad night because of that.

A women like you doesn't need that.

And by the way, we're not married.

Make room for Antoine de Beauterne..

...carrier of His Majesty, who will

release the region..

...of the Beast.

Mylord, I am Gregoire de Fronsac.

- Oh I remember. The servant of Buffon.

The taxidermist and balmer.

He sleeps with the intendant.

We have an appointment at 2 exactly.

His Majesty asked me your opinion

about your report.

Complicated fables...

I think the Beast is a wolf.

Tomorrow I will leave to investigate.

I don't want you to join me.

Why not?

The King wants me to do it..

...and me alone..

I don't need you to complete this.

You'll find a letter signed by

Buffon on the table..

...and our beloved King.

I am inferior to him.

But believe me, it's not...

I read your report. Don't waste

energy for the Beast anymore.

I will take care of it.

You can go.

Come, come, come.

Come.

A women from Lorciere.

She came back from a party.

We lost it south of the Mouchet.

It just dissapeared.

Knight, the Beast attacked a women

in Saint-Alban.

God punished me,

my children are gone.

No more than you I believe in

monsters.

His snout was longer and

the teeth are like knifes.

The only certainty is that it's

not a wolf.

It's not an animal?

- A frantic wolf attacks everyone.

How do we catch it?

No animal has iron teeth.

Knight, you have to come at once.

I saw it.

He poored poison and said

satanic words.

God knows how long this has been

going on.

Let him be.

It's an Indian remedy.

Only our prairs can save her

But... She was not...

A miracle.

Tell me.

What happend to your brother?

A man with the Beast.

- She doesn't know what she is saying.

Yes, mylord. The Beast is dead.

Ten bullets.

It didn't survive.

We brought the necessary.

Start at once.

That's not the beast.

- Start. Mr. Beauterne is coming.

Rediculous. This is not the Beast.

- Like I said, Mr. Beauterne is coming.

I dont like the way you work.

- Bye, Knight. Leave us.

And, Fronsac? Don't you like my
