Werewolf: The Beast Among Us Page #2

but l can't leave

our village now,

not while this beast

is still plaguing us.

What are you saying?

l've decided l'm going

to join the hunt,

kill the beast.

Daniel, any rogue hunter

can chase after this creature,

but you, you're too smart

to be hunting werewolves!

Too smart to defend my town?

l'm sorry,

but this is something

l have to do.

HYDE:
There l was,

face-to-face with the beast,

locked in a

life-and-death struggle,

until we rolled

right off the cliff,

the White Cliffs of Dover.

And then the beast

came at me,

swinging wildly,

and took out my right eye!

My right eye.

But did l falter?

(MOUTHING) No.

Yeah!

No.

No!

(MOUTHING)

HYDE:
No!

l pulled out both revolvers

and blasted the

beast into oblivion!

And it was worth losing

my eye just to save

that entire village.

l thought you lost it

over a keg of beer.

Wasn't there

a fork involved?

(LAUGHS) Listen to her.

She thinks

she's the queen.

Who, by the way,

has knighted me

for my bravery.

Why is it that pretty girls

are always where

l can't get them?

Take your filthy

hands off me!

l reckon you iust about

worn out your welcome.

Thank you for that.

We have our own

beasts in here.

MAN:
Such a pretty...

HYDE:
You better

watch out there, chief.

She's not one

to tamper with.

(HYDE LAUGHING)

You're the one

the whole village has

been talking about.

Could be.

So you're good.

Two types of beast-hunters,

dead and alive.

Must be doing something right.

l've come to volunteer

my services.

This is my village.

l won't take no

for an answer.

l like your moxie, kid.

Answer's still ''No.''

Say, getting lonely?

(PLAYING FLUTE)

Even a man who

is pure in heart

and says his prayers by night

may become a wolf

when the wolf-bane blooms

and the Autumn moon is bright.

Gypsies. Drunks and whores!

lt's them you

should be hunting!

Before the demon

drags you all to hell!

Not if we drag

him there first.

You, too.

Stinking Gypsies.

This is my town.

l know the people,

l know the land.

l work in the doctor's office,

l've seen the bodies.

Let me help you.

lt takes more

than a clever rube

to hunt a beast.

l'll take brains

over brawn any day.

He's got my vote.

So you want to be

a beast-hunter, do you?

Charles, Charles, Charles,

you cannot be serious.

So, what do we know

about this werewolf?

The beast is active

while the full moon

waxes and wanes.

Like other werewolves,

when it bites someone,

it passes on the disease.

Which is why

we euthanize the victims

that aren't killed.

You torch the bodies?

We cremate them, yes.

So you do torch them. Good.

Of course. We're

not complete idiots.

Otherwise, they turn

into something else.

lt's called a wurdalek.

Ooh! Sounds like

you've had your head

in a book, school-boy.

Now, the X's mark

the spots where the beast

has already attacked.

But there doesn't seem to be

any pattern to it.

So it's like lightning,

it never strikes

the same place twice.

DANIEL:
Exactly. It acts

like a wild creature,

it's purely...

lnstinctual.

Yes, exactly.

lnstinctual.

CHARLES:
That's how

we catch it. Take

advantage of that.

Lure the beast to us.

EVA:
Daniel!

ls it true?

You've ioined the hunters?

l'm helping, yes.

Why?

You're not a hunter.

You're a...

A what?

l only meant...

Daniel, it's dangerous.

Think of me,

if not yourself.

Eva, l am

thinking ofyou.

l'm doing this for you.

For all of us.

What if you get...

l'll be fine.

Just go back

to your monster.

l'll go back to mine.

CHARLES:
That's one

hell of a bte.

Claw marks

are huge, as well.

By extrapolating from both,

l calculate the creature's

seven feet tall.

What?

Gonna need some

bigger traps.

Thanks, Doc.

CHARLES:
Come on, kid.

Ain't got much time.

Full moon's coming.

Sorry!

All right. Hold it

right there.

Okay, let go.

Hmm?

Have you been

using the medicine?

Yes, but it's not

been working.

Really?

Let's give this a try.

CHARLES:
We all set?

HYDE:
Yup.

Except for one little thing.

Right.

Daniel! l need you

to pick us up

a little snack.

Yeah, sure. What are

you hungry for?

(CHUCKLING)

No guts, no glory.

You mind helping me out here?

This thing's a

bit of a b*tch.

Yeah, of course.

This werewolf-proof?

Stops claws,

fangs and bullets.

KAZIA:
Tie me up, please.

Tighter.

Harder.

l know what you're thinking.

l'd make good bait.

For man or for beast.

Hello. l'm Stefan.

But you may know me

as the beast-hunter.

Werewolf repellant:

mistletoe,

mutton ash and rye.

STEFAN:
It's getting late.

Can l offer you a ride home?

DANIEL:
Eva!

l can walk you home.

Oh. It's all right.

You seem to be

quite busy here.

STEFAN:
Really nice kerchief.

EVA:
This is very

kind of you, Stefan.

Well done, Daniel.

l know that's not an easy iob.

Tell you what,

maybe you can ride

with us the next time.

CHARLES:
Okay.

You know there's

never a ''next time,''

don't you?

(CHUCKLING)

We're going

to get ourselves

a goddamn werewolf.

And you all are gonna

get some beer money for it.

(LAUGHING)

Come on.

Well, you didn't tell me

you were the town's rich girl.

Well-guarded, too.

Eva, your future lies

outside this village.

That is, ifyou

found the man

worth having you.

l'm not sure my father

would approve of such a man.

Well, a man wouldn't

give a damn about what

your father thought.

Not ifyour hand

were at stake.

l should go.

Thank you for the ride.

What, no token

to protect me

from the beast?

Here they come.

Let them set the traps...

And we take the prize.

Let's go. Stay

out of sight.

lt's gonna be one

ofthose nights, guys.

l can feel it.

(LOUD RATTLING)

(SNARLING)

Easy. It's iust

some dogs.

Am l the only one

who's playing here?

Where's my drink, Vadoma?

You'll get yours.

Oh.

And you'll get yours.

(CHUCKLING)

Well, thank you,

gentlemen.

Thank you.

(OWL HOOTING)

(STEFAN HUMMING)

Right.

Why is it that l'm

always the bait?

Okay.

Come and get it.

(GRUNTING)

DANIEL:
''But iust as

the beast lives inside

the man by day,

''the man may live inside

the beast by night.''

Father?

(GROWLING)

(BEAST SNARLING)

More brandy!

Vadoma!

She took one look

at you and ran off.

(cHucKLEs)

Where's Vadoma?

l don't know.

Vadoma!

(SNARLING)

(BEAST GROWLING)

Fog.

Wonderful.

The beast!

Okay, go!

It's mine!

Damn it!

Out of my way!

Fire!

JAEGER:
The beast! It's mine!

(GROANS IN PAIN)

Damn it,

l hate goddamn poachers!

You beef-witted pizzle.

How is it you'd like

to die, poacher?

l was iust out hunting,

like you, for the beast!

Shut up.

We got bigger problems.

HYDE:
You're

kidding me. An owl?

JAEGER:
It's a goddamn bird?

These idiots were lured

into these traps.

(SIGHING)

This beast thinks like a man.

KAZIA:
Looks like

the hunters became

the hunted.

Vadoma, when the wolf-bane

blooms and the moon is full

l need a ripe little b*tch

like you to screw.

(SCREAMING)

Eva!

Daniel!

(BEAST SNARLING)

Daniel!

Daniel! Daniel!
