Le pacte des loups - Les entrailles de la bête Page #4

terrible nightmares as a result of the poison.

A women like you doesn't need that...

We are also not married.

A women from Lorciere.

Heading back from a party...

We lost it south of the Mouchet.

It just vanished.

Knight, The Beast has killed again.

A women in Saint-Alban.

God punished me,

my children are gone.

No more than you, do I believe in monsters.

The snout was longer and

the teeth were like knifes.

I am certain it's not a wolf...

It's not an animal?

- One that is enraged, would attack anyone.

How do we catch it?

No animal has metal teeth.

Knight, you have to come at once.

I saw it.

He filled her with poison and

began speaking in tongue... satanic words.

He is a heretic. Satanist!

Let him be.

It's an ancient Indian remedy.

Only our prayers can save her now...

But... she wasn't...

It's a miracle.

Tell me.

What happened to your brother?

A man along side the Beast?

- She doesn't know what she is saying.

You saw nothing.

You are no longer welcome

at the castle, sir!

Tell Mademoiselle de Morangias

that I am here!

- I've already told you--

- Speak of the devil!

My son and I were just

talking about you, sir.

It is your daughter I have come to visit.

- I'm afraid that is impossible.

- I insist.

Let him come in, Mother.

Be careful, Jean-Franois,

you know how these matters end.

Leave us.

Sir, Marianne is suffering.

I don't understand.

However, Fronsac,

you are not a stranger to what ails her.

Where is she?

Follow me.

So kind of you to visit.

Mademoiselle, what ails you?

I am to return to Paris,

but that depends on you.

Have a safe journey.

I warned you, Fronsac.

You have offered me only one present,

and here I give you two

for your collection.

I've been warned about men of your kind.

Men of my kind, mademoiselle,

never condemn people

without having listened to them.

I don't know how this happened,

but let me explain.

You needn't bother.

Please, sir, don't make this

more difficult than it already is.

Admit that you were not

the man for my sister,

and leave it at that, no regrets.

Do you believe that she will remain

your nursemaid all her life?

Are you not happy

to leave our province in one piece?

In other times, I would have you flogged

for looking at her.

Times change.

Not everywhere, Fronsac.

In any case, not here.

I'm sorry!

Will you hit me too

if I tell you to leave?

Goodbye.

Have no regrets. He didn't deserve you.

Marianne de Morangias?

Madame, I don't believe I know you.

We both have a friend in common.

What are you doing here?

It's useless to hide behind that veil.

Your perfume is not that of a Lady.

Grgoire de Fronsac

has only loved one woman.

It is your name

he calls out in his sleep.

He will soon be leaving on a long journey.

Just perfect.

When you see Fronsac,

do not tell him anything of our meeting,

or you will lose him forever.

Who was that, my child?

No one.

That one, in the hold with the others.

These two, in my cabin.

Be careful, they're fragile!

Hello, Fronsac!

Hey, Marquis!

Good to see you!

Not as good as all that.

Two days after you left,

the crimes began again.

The King no longer sends soldiers.

I can't find volunteers for the hunt.

I can't do a thing.

I don't know how to catch it.

Frankly, it wasn't entirely

your talents I was thinking of.

Mani found the child.

Just one hunt, Fronsac!

You'll be back within the month.

Impossible! The King has forbidden us

from returning.

- The King will not know.

- So you think.

Is the King's peace of mind

worth all these sacrifices?

You won't change my mind.

- Do you want to bet?

- The last time we made a bet, you lost!

I would have preferred not to use this,

but, here, it's from Marianne.

And Mani?

My friend!

How are you?

- We're leaving for the hunt, Mani.

- This time, we'll do it your way.

So, my friend, any good news?

Best in the world, Marquis.

In Gevaudan, the crimes continued.

But officially, the Beast was dead.

It seems the truth will be

left out of the history books.

The truth will never be released,

this has been seen to.

- Does he welcome us?

- He wants to help us.

Go to the castle, I'll meet you there soon.

Fronsac left Mani to

make the preparations for the hunt.

He did not return to

Gevaudan solely for the Beast.

What do you want?

The house of Jeanne and Pierre Roulier?

Turn right.

It's the last house.

This is Jeanne, my nanny.

Gregoire de Fronsac.

Pierre, go get the wine.

If my mother checks up on me.

They'll know you're here.

To hell with your family.

I'm getting you out of here.

No longer can I put up with

my mother and Jean-Francois.

I want to leave this place.

In a week, we'll go to Paris.

- Why wait?

Because of the hunt.

A promise to the Marquis.

- I thought you came back for me?

Watch out.

Marianne, go out of here... don't run.

Come closer... Look at me.

Get over here you. Come here!

Get over here. Come on!

Save yourself, Marianne.

What's going on here?

Open up, Pierre.

Tell me, Knight,

will we really find the Beast?

I would have imagined there would be more of us.

Mani knows what he's doing.

It's a man I hunt.

A man?

The Beast is an instrument,

in the hands of a lunatic.

An assassin who works in the shadows.

- Correct, Marquis.

The first mystery of the Beast,

is it's truth.

It has but one power.

There has to be fear in our hearts.

What do you mean?

- This book was sold everywhere.

That author says the Beast

was sent to punish the King...

...for his condemnation of the philosophers.

- Outrageous. Who wrote that?

I don't know, but the Beast

has a master and I want him.

Your weapon might prove to be useful.

One condition, you must carry it.

And you, Mani, what is your weapon of choice?

- Mani doesn't like fire arms.

Too much noise, too much smoke.

Awful smell.

Everything will go as planned, grandfather.

Don't worry.

We prepared everything.

Tell me about the Americans, Knight.

- Americans?

Will you never go back?

- Too many bad memories...

- And doesn't Mani miss his tribe?

- His tribe is extinct.

When we attacked his village, the smallpox

had already wiped most of them out.

We killed the remaining survivors, the women...

...as well as all the children.

Only Mani was spared.

Why?

- The captain needed a guide, a translator.

I taught him our language, our culture.

Three weeks later,

the Captain was slain. His throat cut.

Why didn't you report him?

Do you know how the

Captain won his battles?

He sent his scouts forth with infected

linen and clothing. Trades.

When the Iroquois bought them,

they fell ill and most of their men died.

Three weeks later we marched in

and finished off the survivors.

That's how you won the war?

- That's how we lost it.

Where did he go to?

Speaking to the trees.

- The trees?

The trees speak.

White men choose to ignore them.

What do they say, Mani?

Do you want to learn?

What's that?

- A mushroom.

At your own risk, Marquis.
