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,

it would be simple enough

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.
