The Beast Must Die Page #4
- All bluff and bluster, but...
And what about our little lady friend
who's so anxious to get out of here?
Maybe she has reasons we don't know about.
Care to show us, Davina?
- Leave her alone, newcliffe!
- Careful, jan, mustn't excite yourself.
All of you, sitting here
so innocent and so scared!
You think I've gone off my head?
Well, I've checked you
out, you're all suspects!
One of you is a werewolf, I know it!
- Enough!
I've had enough!
- Maybe I should've looked closer to home.
- Closer to home?
I don't recognize you anymore.
You have to win all the time!
I've watched you climb
to the top of the heap,
and I've gone along with you.
- Don't tell me you didn't enjoy the ride!
- But not anymore.
You've let your passion for
hunting turn into a blood lust,
and I'll have no part of it.
This is what you wanted, blood?
- Leave her alone.
When the time comes, I'll be waiting.
- Tom?
Tom, tom,
tom, for god's sakes!
- Shh,
it's out there on the loose, listen!
- But we're all here!
- Paul foote isn't!
Let's go!
- Are they silver?
- Right, for a very special guest.
Same grid run as before.
I want you to sweep in a box pattern.
- No instructions from the house?
- No, we're on our own tonight.
Infrared camera set up?
- Slung immediately below us.
- Good.
We've lost him!
We've passed him below us at 9 o'clock!
Turn around!
Swing 'round!
He's headed for the marsh!
Take me down!
- Right.
- I've got him!
Caroline, stay where you are!
He's in there somewhere.
- He's hurt badly!
- Davina, please take
Caroline back to the house.
Could you see that they get back safely?
- Of course.
- It's like living in a shooting gallery!
- Where were you?
- When? I've been lots of places.
- Earlier, when I checked your room
and the wolf was out there on the loose
and you were nowhere to be found!
- Oh, then, well, i
heard some howling, too,
so I thought I'd slip out
and take a look for myself.
There isn't a crime in that, is there?
- I went up in the helicopter to hunt it.
I saw the beast, all right,
but I didn't see you!
- Oh, I saw you, though, blasting
away from your whirlybird.
- Can't prove any of it,
though, can you, foote?
And you, where were you?
- L- | went out, too, but
like Paul, I can't prove it.
- And when you came back?
- I got back into bed, I heard
somebody come in after me.
He fell on the stairs.
- That was me,
tripping over my own feet.
- Out there, a man lies dead.
My pilot had his throat
torn out by one of you!
Once you have tasted
human flesh, you can then
change back into your present shape,
but neither of you has escaped me yet!
- Benningt0n's not here.
- Stay where you are!
But even if the phone was working,
can you imagine explaining
to some village cop
that Arthur bennington
was killed by a werewolf?
And not only bennington,
there's the pilot as well!
- But we should get
the police in any case!
- No.
- Tom, two men are dead, doesn't
that mean anything to you?
- Two killings in one night,
that means the disease
has gotten a firmer hold,
and your resistance, or
yours, is getting weaker.
Tonight is my last chance, the
last night of the full moon,
and I warn you both,
tonight the beast must die and will.
- This is the werewolf break.
Have you guessed who the werewolf is?
Is it Paul foote,
jan,
Davina,
Dr. lundgren,
Caroline?
You have 30 seconds to give your answer.
Made up your mind?
Let's see if you're right.
- It has to be you!
You knew you couldn't
hold out much longer,
so you tried to make a
run for it, didn't you?
- No, it's not that at all.
I am scared, and I have
every right to be scared.
Last night, two men had
their throats ripped out!
I don't want to be the third victim!
- You're scared all right,
scared about how many people
you know you'll have to kill tonight!
Isn't that more like the truth?
- It can't be me,
and I can prove it!
There.
I held it last night at dinner, remember?
- We all held the damn
thing last night at dinner,
and poor old Arthur bennington still died!
- It has to be you.
You couldn't account for
your movements last night,
and today you tried to leave the estate.
It all fits!
But can you explain why
silver has no effect?
- If contact is made, silver must kill.
- But I'm alive!
- But in this day and age,
to protect the skin with a plastic coating
such as to be used on
cuts or nail varnish.
- There's nothing on my hand!
Look!
- It was just a possible explanation.
- Every one of these is silver.
N0b0dy's going to varnish
the inside of his mouth.
Now you!
One for each of you, and enough to spare.
Mustn't play favorites.
- Time for my pill?
- It couldn't be her,
it couldn't be Caroline!
- Jan, take her out of here.
- I killed her.
- Foote, see if you can help with Davina.
Go on, man, get out!
I'll take care of things here.
- All the time, it was Caroline,
and I killed her.
She was with me in the barn last night
at the same time that
the werewolf was there.
I can believe my own eyes, can't I?
And she held the candlestick at dinner.
- If a human being is bitten
by a werewolf and lives,
he or she becomes a werewolf.
The fatal hormone is
transferred with the bite.
- But Carol wasn't bitten, her dog was!
- Caroline had an open wound on her hand
from the glass she broke at dinner.
The blood from her dog,
already infected by the beast,
made her a victim also.
- Then the original werewolf is--
- there, hush!
After this attack, it
may try for another kill.
- Then it's him and me.
Huh, one bullet left,
that's sporting enough.
Look after Davina.
- I will.
- And don't leave the house.
- Come.
- I'm sorry, Davina.
- Are you hurt'?
- Just bruised to hell.
It bit me.
The werewolf bit me!
- There must be a cure, there must be!
- There is only one cure.
