Return of 'The Wolfman' Page #3

---

dog-eat-dog world, you know...

A pint of bitter, please.

It is a shrine to your beloved mother.

A truly beautiful woman.

I know that a...

...losing her wounded you deeply.

It is monstrous, for a young boy to see his mother like that.

And I would have given my

life, Lawrence, that you hadn't...

...found us that night.

You must believe me when

I tell you this, Lawrence... You do believe me, don't you?

I loved your mother with a passion

like the burning of the sun.

Her death finished me, I was devastated.

I still prowl the house at night.

Searching for her...

But I'm dead all the same...

Look into my eyes, Lawrence.

You see...I am...quite dead.

Dear fellow I wish I could tell you that

the tragedy that has beset your life is

over. But I'm afraid

the darkest hours of hell..

...lay before you.

I don't think they'll kill you, Lawrence...

...but they will blame you.

The Beast will have its day!

The Beast will out.

Come on, get out of here!

We've got him, men!

We got him!

Find a pick, Charlie!

Charlie!

MacQueen!

Lawrence...

Lawrence!

Wake up.

Lawrence...

Terrible things, Lawrence...

You've done terrible things...

On your knees!

It is as you said, Inspector...

It is as you said...

- Im sorry, Sir John.

Be strong, Lawrence...

Be strong...

LAMBETH ASYLUM, LONDON

Where is my father?

I am sorry to see you back

here with us, Lawrence.

You disappointe me.

But we have made enormous strides

in the treatment of delusions such as yours...

Where is my father?

Brace and easy Dr. Hoenneger...

Where is my father?

Where is my father?

Where is my father?

If you dont kill my father,

he will kill again, again, and again...

Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.

Dost thou think Alexander looked o' this fashion i' th' earth?

I hope this won't impede

your return to the stage.

Alas, poor Yorick...

Lawrence, wake up!

I heard something.

Terrible things, Lawrence.

Terrible things.

Father!

Look into my eyes, Lawrence.

You'll see I'm quite dead.

It's all right, Lawrence.

Everything is all right.

I'm going to take you home.

Come with me.

It's all right, come.

It's all right.

Hold me...

Just hold me...

It's not real...

It's not real...

Lycanthropy... Lycanthropy...

I contracted the diseasen if that's what it is

in India, in the Hindukusch.The natives directed me to

a cave high up in the mountains...

...Where according to legend lived

a strange creature, very strange creature.

And after a great many days of climbing and...searching,

finally I came upon it, I found it.

I found the cave.

And the strange creature that lived there.

It was a little boy.

A little wild feral boy.

Powerfully strong.

He suddenly attacked me and bit me.

So, I returned to my hunting companions in the valley below

thinking I'd been made the butt of a joke.

I soon discovered otherwise.

You killed my mother.

Yes, I suppose I did.

You should kill yourself.

Oh, I can't tell you how

often I've considered that.

But life is far too glorious, Lawrence,

especially to the cursed and the damned.

Like myself.

Every night of the full moon, for many years

I've been locked away in that crypt.

By Singh, my faithful servant.

Twenty-five years...

Then she came, didn't she,

hearten burning like the face of the moon.

Gwen.

...Have manifested themselves

into delusions of a horrific nature.

Mr Talbot.

We are here tonight to illustrate conclusively

that Mr Talbot's fears are quite irrational.

So...We will remain in this room together

and once Mr Talbot

has witnessed that

the full moon holds no sway over him,

that he remains a perfectly ordinary human being.

He will have taken his first small step down

the long road to mental recovery.

We are all aware that Mr Talbot has

suffered quite traumatic personal experiences.

He witnessed his mothers self-mutilations.

His young mind unable to accept it,

created a fantastical truth...

...that his father is to blame.

That his father is literally a monster!

But...

Your father is not a werewolf.

You were not bitten by a werewolf.

You will not become a werewolf...

any more than I will sprout

wings and fly out of that window.

I think that Mr Talbot has

something to say to us.

Stop it... Stop it...

- Speak up, Mr Talbot.

Forgive me, but we can't hear you.

You moron....

Tonight I will kill all of you!

I will kill all of you!

Yes...well...as you can see...

Lycanthropy is a ... - Please do something about it!

..a disease of the mind...

Kill me.

Kill me!

...for them it seems very real.

Dr. Hoenneger!

Doctor!

Open... Open this door!

It seems to be locked, Sir.

Open this door!!!

Davis?

- Yes, Sir?

Are you armed?

- Yes, Sir.

Give me your revolver. Quickly!

Carter!

- Sir?

Do you have your pistol?

- Yes, Sir.

Follow me!

Telegraph the Yard "Issue weapons."

- All right, Sir.

Now!

- Right away, Sir.

I don't suppose you have any silver bullets?

-What?

You two with me.

Steady.

God help us.

Who's there?

Lawrence!

What are you doing here?

What have they done to you...

I am what they say I am.

I'm a monster.

And so is my father...

He killed Ben.

And my mother too...

I can help you.

There is no help for me.

If such things...exist...

If they are possible,

then everything is.

Magic...and God...

I can find a way to stop it.

I must confess...

I envy my brother for the

days he had with you.

What joy he must have felt.

I would have given anything I own...

...to have known you in another life.

I must get back to

Talbot Hall and end this.

Lawrence.

Please let me help you.

- You already have.

Lawrence, dont. Just st...stay here with me.

Stay here with me!

Miss Conliffe, good morning.

Inspector?

May I impose?

I must ask you directly,

have you seen Lawrence Talbot?

I'm sure by now you've heard of his escape.

-Yes, I've heard, and no, I haven't seen him.

Miss Conliffe...

I can't stress to you enough

the mortal peril you are in,

should you find yourself in his presence.

Thank you, I'll be careful.

Miss Conliffe...

I admire your noble intentions,

you think you can save him but you can't...

I must insist you come with me.

- Insist?

Carter!

- He's not here, Inspector!

Take your hand off me.

Talbot!

Raise your arms and step out where I can see you.

Talbot!

Now, there's some bad luck for you.

I'm looking for a woman called Maleva.

Do you know her?

What is it you want from me?

Lawrence Talbot.

You know what happened to him.

You understand it...Listen to me.

I need you to help me.

Leave him to his faith.

I have to save him.

Do you love him?

Just tell me what to do.

Will you condemn him...

Or will you...

...set him free?

Do you know what that means?

Yes.

But I cant. I can't do that,

he's still there.

I know he is, I know I can save him.

I'm begging you, tell me what to do.

There is no cure.

You are risking your life.

May the saints protect you

and give you strength to do what you must!

Are you sure he'll come?
