Brotherhood of the Wolf Page #4

Beast?

What's the meaning of this?

You know this is not the Beast.

His jaws are twice as big as these.

- You got everything to fix that.

I must bring the Beast to Paris,

and I got this wolf.

You should make a Beast for me.

Do you want the King to believe..

- No, Fronsac.

I carry out his will.

You should too. That would be wise.

- Are you threatening me, mylord?

On my age?

You know who I am.

...and you're too intelligent

to have yourself threatend.

If you do your job, the king

will be grateful.

If you don't do your job he

will be very dissapointed.

Do you have everything you need?

I'm counting on you. See you soon.

On this historical day, I would first

like to thank Knight Gregoire de Fronsac.

The Beast is dead and we owe

him our grattitude.

But its especially thanks to you, Majesty.

It has to be said...

...it's in your person the

royal power lives.

Only an animal can ignore it,

but that animal is dead.

There's very little to thank me for.

Together with your power I only

had to show myself briefly in Gevaudan...

...so that the Beast would seize it's fight.

What's all this hypocricy about?

Beauterne is executing his orders.

We should do the same.

What orders?

- Mine.

Fronsac, this is Mister Mercier...

...advisor of His Majesty

for domestic affairs.

He had the idea to send Beaterne there.

So its you who we have to

thank for this victory?

Your scruples do you credit,

but this is domestic business.

Did you read this?

You can no longer find

this in the bookstore.

Did you have it banned?

- It mocked the king.

If we had waited to long,

it would've become tedious.

So it is better to lie

than to let lies be spoken.

The truth is too complicated.

To rule, everything has to be simple.

The Beast was a problem.

Beast gone, problem too.

It will continue to kill.

- No one will know though.

That is what matters. His

Majesty keeps himself to thanking you.

He heard you want to go to Africa.

In about 6 months a ship sets sail

to Senegal.

If you want, you can accomany it.

And ofcourse we keep quiet about Gevaudan.

Well, Fronsac?

Officialy the Beast was dead.

What really happened,

is not mentioned in the history books.

It has been assured that

this will be kept quiet.

Does he welcome us?

- He wants to help us.

Go to the castle, i'll come later.

Fransec let Mani prepare the hunt.

The Beast was not his only

reason for his return.

What's the matter?

The house of Jeanne and Pierre Roulier?

Straight ahead.

The last house of the village.

This is Jeanne, my wet nurse.

Gregoire de Fronsac.

Pierre, go get the whine.

My mother checks up on me.

They'll know you're here.

To hell with that. I'm getting you

out of here.

I will no longer put up with

my mother and Jean-Francois.

I want to leave, go far away.

Within a week we'll go to Paris.

- Why wait?

I'm going back to hunt.

I promised to the Marquis.

- I thought you came for me?

Watch out.

Marianne, go away, without running.

Come closer... Look at me.

Get over here you. Come here.

Get over here. Come on.

Go away, Marianne.

What's going on here?

Open up, Pierre.

My God.

Tell me, Knight,

will we really find the Beast?

I thought there would be more.

I'm hunting a man.

A man?

The Beast is an instrument

in the hands of a sick mind.

A murderer works more discrete.

- Correct, Marquis.

The first mysterie of the Beast

is its fame.

It has to be discussed.

There has to be fear.

How do you mean?

- This book was sold everywhere.

That author says

the Beast punishes the King...

...for his comprehension for the filosofers.

- Bullshit. Who wrote that?

I dont know, but the Beast

has a master and i want him.

Eventually your weapon

could have use to us.

On the condition that you wear it.

And you Mani, what weapon will you take?

- Mani doesn't liker fireweapons.

Too much noise, too much smoke.

Bad scent.

Everything will go as planned, grandfather.

Don't worry.

We prepared everything.

Tell about America, Knight.

- America?

Will you never go back?

- Not all my memories are good ones.

- And doesnt Mani miss his tribe?

- His tribe no longer exists.

When we attacked his village,

the smallpocks had wiped it out.

We had to kill the survivors, the women...

...as well as all the children.

Only Mani escaped it.

How?

- The captain wanted a translater.

I had to teach him our language.

Three weeks later he killed

the captain.

Why didn't you report him?

Do you know how he fought his battles?

He gave his scouts dirty sheets and linnen.

The Irokese bought them.

And three weeks later we came by.

Is that how they waged war?

- Thats how we lost it.

Where did he go to?

Talking to the trees.

- The trees?

The trees talk.

White men can't hear nor listen.

See what, Mani?

Do you want to learn?

What's that?

- An Indian host.

At your own risk, Marquis.

Does it matter?

Depends from person to person.

The indians say that one can

see that what is invisible.

So, Mani?

- The Beast is in the forest.

The wolves will help.

- I don't see anything.

Tonight we dance

the dance of the blood.

And the Beast will come to us

at sunrise.

It doesnt seem to affect me...

The night called onto Mani and

the spirits of the forest...

...in a language even

Knight de Fronsac couldn't understand.

The wolves brought the Beast to them.

Don't worry, it'll be alright.

It'll all be fine.

I shall tend to you.

I will do anything for you.

Thomas is sleeping.

It was close.

I'm sorry about the Indian.

What's that there? Tell me what it is.

I need to know.

Its a domain. A hunting ground.

Knight... You have to rest.

Hurry. Fire.

There he is. Kill him.

The Knight came from Mani's body.

His thirst for revenge is far from

quenched.

But according to Indian tradition

he has to help his friend...

...at sunset to go back to

his ancestors.

What do you want?

There has been too much bloodshed here.

You risk the worst if you don't leave.

I won't leave, i have to arrange something.

Is it worth your life?

Sinds when do you know?

- I have no idea what you mean.

Come on, Sardis. How is this possible?

How did it ever get so far?

No one will believe you.

Go away, Sardis.

May God have mercy on your soul.

And that the Devil may come get yours.

You are under arrest.

On the ground of the power

of the intendant...

...I ask you to accompany

us without resisting.

That's ridiculous, lieutenant.

Chef. There's a lady here who wants

to talk to you. - Later. Tonight.

Mercy. Mercy.

Come on, get up. You got a

visitor.

Not in seclusion anymore?

- Depends for whom.

I'm sorry.

Bring your guest some food.

Why?

- I ow a lot of people.

You have to help me.

I have to write to the King.

You will be hanged before

your letter reaches him.

Impossible.

I didnt stand trial yet.

Here.

What do you know about the Beast?

- A trained animal...

Covered with armour-plating.

I wounded it.

Sinds when does that interest you?
