If he is kept in this town

until after sunset,

he can't be responsible

for his actions.

What do you mean? I mean that

he'll break out of prison and kill.

Kill wantonly and savagely.

Like an animal.

And you...

you will be responsible.

There he is, seor,

that's the one.

You there. Stand up.

Let me look at you.

Let me see your hands.

Now your teeth.

Open your mouth.

Come on.

Seor, I beseech you.

Don't make me stay here.

Now, I shall require

other witnesses.

There's Teresa.

Teresa?

Yes, my servant.

Your servant?

I'm afraid I cannot...

Let me in. Let me in.

Let me in.

Cristina.

Silence!

You must let her in. She can

help me. She's the only one.

I wish to see Leon Carido.

Leon.

Seorita.

What are they

doing to you?

Help me, Cristina.

Who is this?

Who are you?

I'm Cristina Fernando,

seor.

You know the prisoner?

Yes, seor.

Well?

We are engaged

to be married, seor.

You are engaged

to be married, are you?

So you know all about him?

Seor?

You know all about

his affliction.

Affliction?

So far as you know, this is

a perfectly normal young man?

Yes.

Thank you.

The prisoner will remain here

and stand trial.

Gentlemen.

Come, my child.

Leave her with me.

For God's sake, have pity.

Leave her.

Come. Come.

Please my child, come.

What are they doing?

What's happening?

Father, the bullet.

Pepe the watchman

has a silver bullet.

Get it and use it.

Use it on me, Father.

You must use it, do you hear?

You must use it. You must!

I don't believe you.

But you must, my child.

It's the truth.

It's not true.

It's not true.

Please tell me it's not true.

It's getting dark.

Pepe?

Pepe?

Pepe Valiente.

Hey.

It's a beautiful evening.

The moon is just rising.

The full moon.

It will soon be

as bright as day.

Ah, Teresa...

this young lady

has nowhere to stay.

She is a friend of Leon's...

and I thought, perhaps...

Come in, my dear.

Well, I must go back

to the church.

I will come here

after service.

My dear, you're shivering.

Come and sit by the fire,

and I'll get you a warm drink.

Leon.

Guard! Guard!

This will soon put some color

into your cheeks.

I can't think where

Don Alfredo has got to.

There was something

about a silver bullet.

Pepe's silver bullet.

So,

it's come to that at last.

Come to what?

What is this bullet?

A silver bullet...

made from...

a crucifix.

The only bullet

that will kill...

a werewolf.

What is it?

What happened?

What you said.

Where is he?

I don't know, seor.

There he is, up on the roof.

Did you see anything?

No, what's happening?

There he is.

Surround the house.

Just guard it.

That's it, guard it.

You stay here.

I know how to

get him down from there.
