Werewolf: The Beast Among Us Page #3

Daniel!

(SCREAMING)

Daniel!

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

VADOMA:
Daniel!

Mother, what happened?

The brothel

was attacked.

Where did these come from?

At the ruins.

Take them to the morgue.

Daniel.

What do you want?

Why'd the Gypsies

come to you?

l don't know.

Some people say

they know unholy things,

practice witchcraft

and the dark arts.

CHARLES:
Well, this beast

sure as hell is unholy.

Let's go see

if they know

something about that.

JAEGER:
Hello?

Anybody?

Get me out!

Bloody bastards!

(WOMEN SHOUTING)

We've come to see

your leader. Ferka.

Follow me.

FERKA:
This beast

was not made a werewolf,

not infected by a bite,

but was born one.

Born one?

Do you mean a woman can...

Taken by a beast. Yeah.

This beast is

stronger and smarter.

The disease is part

of its original blood.

And it gets stronger, too,

with each passing moon,

until one day,

it will be able

to transform at will.

Transform at will?

lt must be stopped now,

before it is too late.

Too late for what?

Winter Solstice.

lt's upon us in two

days, two nights.

The longest night of the year.

lt's when the moon

is closest to the Earth.

lt will be calling the

creature, even by day.

The beast will show

signs of its power

before the moon

can even rise.

And on such a night,

this beast

will be unstoppable.

Perhaps even by you.

J:

Well

thank you for

your help, Ferka.

l didn't do it for you.

l did it for him.

For me?

Why?

Only one hunter

has ever been known

to have slain

a beast like this.

A great warrior-hunter.

A legend.

But also legend says

only one whose heart is true

can do what others cannot do.

Kill the beast.

You must go now.

Go.

You believe all that?

About the legend?

That such a monster

could exist?

Well, monsters do exist.

All around us.

Besides, l got no explanation

for the things l've seen.

(VILLAGERS CLAMORING)

Quiet! Quiet down

and listen to me!

Listen to me!

These hunters are useless!

We must stand up

for ourselves!

Yes!

Yeah!

There will be none of us left!

(ALL SHOUTING IN AGREEMENT)

Quiet, quiet. Quiet.

Quiet, quiet!

Please! Quiet!

l agree with you.

The hunters have failed.

lt's time

we took this matter

into our own hands.

lt's about time!

lt is the Gypsies,

it has to be!

(ALL SHOUTING IN AGREEMENT)

Quiet, quiet, please!

l have a plan.

Daniel.

What are you doing?

l was looking

through the logs.

Why?

Because l think that

there is a pattern

to these attacks.

Doc, wait.

l'm sorry,

but were the only people

killed last night the people

in the brothel?

Wasn't it enough?

Charles!

l think it's

targeting people.

What?

The beast. l checked

the doctor's logs,

and other than the hunters

and the people that

just got in its way,

it's killing low-lifes.

l've seen most

of the bodies.

lt's everyone

from thieves and liars

to the brothel owner

and those card-sharps

Iast night.

So you're saying

we got a werewolf

that knows the difference

between a church-going

man and a low-life?

And cares about that?

We know it thinks.

Why can't it have

a motive in its killings?

So, it's going

after low-lifes, huh?

,

The beast is, no doubt

one ofthe people

in this village.

l know the people

in this village.

Some of you suspect

your neighbors.

Some of your neighbors

suspect you.

l have eliminated

everyone with alibis

during previous attacks.

Eight suspects remain.

These men and l,

we will round up the suspects

and lock them

n my holdng cells.

When the full moon

rses tonght...

l'm not a werewolf!

Yeah?

...f one of the suspects

becomes the beast,

we wll blow t to bts.

Daniel?

Daniel!

MAN:
It's her!

l am not the beast!

Stop!

Daniel!

What are you doing? Mother!

Your mother disappeared

during the attack

on the brothel last night.

Let her go!

Daniel!

Leave! Just go home!

Lock yourself up!

Lock yourself up! Please!

Go home, kid.

What are you doing?

What the hell?

Turns out you didn't have

much of an alibi

for last night, either.

This is outrageous!

l am the law

in this village!

Not tonight

and not anymore!

Wait!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

HYDE:
Born ofa human?

CHARLES:
Deadlier

than anything we've

ever encountered.

Stronger, faster, smarter.

And it seems to have a lair.

They found more bodies

out by the ruins.

Charles.

l'm ready.

l need you to

stand down tonight.

What?

l'm sorry,

but this is far more

than l imagined.

Please, Daniel.

Take this.

Go home and

protect yourself.

Do you really think

you can do what we do?

Be halfthe man it takes

to kill a beast?

Beasts so fast,

you won't even know

what's happened

until you feel the warm blood

soaking through your clothes.

Maybe you'll have time

for one last thought,

maybe think of Eva,

and as your life

fades from your body,

think of her with me.

And who could blame her?

Stefan,

l may lack your form,

but at least l have

some substance.

(CHUCKLING)

Eva would never

confuse the two.

We'll see about that.

Argh!

Bloody bastards,

what the hell

are you doing?

After last night, l thought

you might want to help us out.

Bastards! Let me go!

Then l'm going to kill you!

(sHusHINc)

Don't shush me!

Don't you shush me.

Hey, you keep

that attitude up,

you're going to ruin

everyone's fun.

Now shut up!

You think you can

dump me in a well

and get rid of me?

You greedy bastards!

That wolf is mine!

Oh, Jaeger, we're not

done with you just yet.

Then what the hell

are you doing?

You know how to catch

a werewolf, Jaeger?

Same way you catch a fish.

Or a rat.

No, no, no, wait!

l'm not your

stinking bait!

That thing will devour me!

(WHIMPERING) That thing

will devour me, you know!

l doubt that wolf

could stomach you

much more than l do.

JAEGER:
All right!

l apologize for trying

to poach from you!

Get me out of here!

That's good!

Keep it up.

(JAEGER SOBBING)

CHARLES:
All right,

here's the deal, Jaeger.

That creature gets

too close for comfort,

l'll shoot that rope.

Worst thing that'll

happen to you

is a much-needed bath.

Here's the tricky part.

Can't be moving around much.

Sit tight.

(JAEGER WHIMPERING)

(PANTING)

Oh, no!

No!

Don't! Wait!

Stop!

Stay back!

Stop!

VADOMA:
No, don't,

don't, don't!

No!

Stop!

You idiots!

He was an epileptic.

No more a werewolf

than you or l!

How could we know?

We didn't know!

VADOMA:
Let me out.

Please! Maybe

l can help him.

(ROARING)

lt's her! It must be her!

Stop her! Stop her!

There's your werewolf.

Damn it!

Hey, wolf!

Yeah!

CHARLES:
Where did he go?

Where did he go?

(SNARLING)

Got you!

Die!

(GIGGLING)

KAZIA:
What the

hell was that?

FANG:
It should

have killed us.

HYDE:
l don't get it.

He let us live.

Got the feeling

this thing's just

toying with us.

Well, some of us.

Charles, l saw Daniel.

What?

Here. Tonight,

on the balcony.

Until he wasn't.

He disappeared as

the moon was rising,

iust before the

beast turned up.

(PANTING)

(SOBBING)
