Then they visit Talan's mother Mrs. Gwynek and they learn that Talan has a rare disease. Further, the government wants her lands to dispose nuclear waste and her husband has recently died in car accident.

concerning your client's

physical deficiencies.

Uh, thank you, Ms. Moore.

We'll keep you informed.

Uh, actually,

Commissaire, if I may.

Uh, I was going over

the police report

issued for Jorge

Gwynek's car accident.

You investigated

this, yes?

Yes, that's correct.

Then, I'm sure you're well

aware that he had 15 times

the prescribed amount of

Phenobarbital in his system.

What's your point,

Ms. Moore?

As the

investigating officer,

I feel like you have ignored certain

elements pertaining to my client.

Why didn't you at least

investigate the crash further?

Because I think that

he's a drug addict.

There is nothing in

his medical history

to suggest that he had any

substance abuse problems. Nothing!

If you have any requests,

why don't you put it in writing?

Wait, please.

A farmer from

outside the city

reported that some kind of

animal attacked his horses.

He was standing

on two legs,

over two meters tall,

covered in hair,

and called it

a "monster from hell."

That sure sounds like the animal

that killed Henry Porter.

We'll follow you.

Yes, why don't

you do that?

Oh, my God.

Jesus!

That's impossible.

There hasn't been a bear,

a wild bear in this region for...

A hundred years.

This has to be the bear

that attacked the Porters.

It's all consistent, the area,

the size of the animal. Gavin?

We'll have

to run some tests,

but this is

looking good.

DNA results.

We need Gavin.

Gavin.

I was just, uh, reading that there

are certain strains of porphyria

that are not only passed genetically,

but in rare cases,

they can be transmitted through

blood or any mucous membrane.

Just gonna turn

this light on.

So, um, I need you

to look at this.

Talan's DNA results,

cross-contaminated again.

Well, get them to

do the test again.

Actually, can you, um,

ask them to send me

both DNA analysis reports

for both tests?

Here.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I don't know.

I'm worried about you.

No, don't.

You should be worried

about the case.

Right,

'cause I'm never worried about my cases.

Nothing's changed

there then.

Yeah. Mmm.

Do you think he could have done it,

Gavin?

Look, there is no way a man could

have done anything like that.

Yeah. Yeah.

You're doing

a great job, Kate.

Thanks for saying that.

And you were right

to move here.

I should have

come with you.

I miss you, Kate.

I miss you too.

The day has come for

Gwynek's specialized testing

which could

produce results that

exonerate him of

all criminal charges.

Jesus!

Um...

Stop.

Why are you

helping me, Kate?

Mmm.

Because I was taught

from a very young age

that everyone

deserves to be heard.

Especially the ones that

think they don't deserve it.

They'll get

what they want.

Do you want

me to quit?

You thought about it though?

Mmm. Yeah.

Yeah, come in.

Oh.

Uh, Talan,

these are my partners Eric and Gavin.

You haven't

officially met yet.

Talan.

Uh, Gavin is gonna explain a few

of the specifics about the exam.

So, okay?

Okay, so, um, Talan,

along with the normal battery of tests,

the lead physician is also

going to administer, um, uh,

a corneal impression to get a

cell sample of one of your eyes.

Um, this will be the early

indicator of the porphyria.

After that, he's going to attempt

a photic-induced seizure.

A photic-induced seizure?

It's strobing lights that will

cause stress and trigger an attack.

It's the only way to

confirm the porphyria

and allow it to be

admissible in court.

All right, we should get going.

Guards!

It's gonna

work, right?

It has to.

Mrs. Gwynek, okay.

Rineaux.

Commencing the examination

of patient Talan Gwynek.

Okay, we will now do

the corneal impression.

Relax, Talan.

The early indicator

for porphyria is positive.

Excellent, excellent.

Now let's move on

to seizure induction.

Hmm.

I will need you to stare

at the flashing light.

Uh, doctor?

No, no, it's normal.

We need to stop

this right now.

This is unusual.

Doctor, please!

Help, somebody!

No, no, no! Gwynek, don't!

How did this happen?

He could barely move.

That was not Talan.

I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy!

All this is on your head!

How the hell were

we supposed to know

that this was going

to happen?

I knew! You got

him transferred.

He killed three people

and now he's gone!

I promise I was only doing what I

thought was best for my client!

I don't give a f***! Just go!

Go! Let me do my job. Go!

Go! Go! You go!

F***!

Reports from Lyon

indicate four more dead.

Gwynek's whereabouts

remain unknown.

Where would our werewolf legends be?

Put "luna" in

the word lunatic.

Researchers tracked down

more than a thousand reported attacks

and compared the dates

with the lunar cycle.

The most dangerous time

following a full moon.

Eric? You here?

Eric?

Hey.

Hey.

Did you spend

all night here?

Yeah.

How you doing?

You all right?

Listen, uh,

I'm glad you're here.

Um, you know how we were wondering

how it was even physically possible

for Talan to destroy

that hospital?

Yeah.

Okay, so, bear with me.

You know how people

say the full moon

can make people

go mad, crazy?

Yeah?

Okay. So, watch this.

Put "luna" in the word lunatic,

but do we really know what effect

the moon has on our lives?

Okay, look.

The sky was so bright.

There was a full moon.

There's been these

studies on epileptics

where a full moon triggers

these prolonged seizures.

They have these

violent outbursts

and they get almost this,

like, super human strength.

It has something

to do with water.

You know how like the moon

affects the tides, right?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, human beings have almost 60% water.

I mean, it kind of

makes sense, right?

They even have

a name for it.

It's called

the Lunar Effect.

Okay, so...

So you think he

becomes what he is

under the influence

of the moon?

What are you saying?

Hey.

Hey.

Last night the moon

was 98%.

Tonight, full moon.

What's this?

It seems there's

no more running for Gwynek.

Police have

the building surrounded.

However, details on

how he escaped

a heavily guarded hospital

wing remain unclear.

I'm going. Yeah.

I'm going to get my coat.

Why? Pistor doesn't

want you there.

He's my client, Gavin.

I have a responsibility.

But he's a murderer, Kate.

Leave it alone.

I know he's

a murderer, Gavin.

I'm done defending him.

- I don't know, I mean, if this

Lunar Effect... - You coming?

You're making

a mistake, Kate!

Yeah, I'm coming.

A lot of people have died.

I don't want them to die

because of me, okay?

Yeah, well, the person you're

trying to save is a f***ing animal!

I know that, Gavin!

What do you want me to say to you?

Haven't you helped him

kill enough people, Kate?

What?

All right,

you need to stay here.

I don't want to see you.

Can you pull your sh*t together, please?

Go, go, go!

Uh, Katherine Moore...

Pistor!

What are you doing here?

I told you to stay away.

He is my client.

I don't want to see anyone
