Don't you see that I hate her?

I hate her!

Today she dishonored me again!

I shan't forget it.

Ever.

I thought it was all over,

and now once more...

Accursed b*tch!

She-wolf!

Good evening, my friend.

I dozed off.

Take a seat, doctor.

I am still weak.

Any news

from the world of science?

Don't you joke about that.

It's some years since

I practiced official science...

...and came to this lonely spot.

In that case tell me the latest...

...news from the mansion.

Lady Julia and that officer...

How do you know?

It's enough to look at them.

As for you, my friend,

I advise you not to do

anything rash.

What?

You know very well what

I have in mind.

Tell me, doctor...

...you have studied the secret arts...

Can a dead person take over

the body...

...of someone alive and beautiful?

For this you need

no secret knowledge.

The answer is in the Holy Bible.

Here you are, see for yourself.

When the unclean spirit is

gone out of a man,

it wanders over the desserts

seeking the resting place

and finds none.

Then it says

"I will go back to the home

I left".

And when he returns he finds

it empty, swept and tidy.

Off it goes and collects

seven other spirits...

...more wicked than itself,

and they enter and dwell there.

And in the end the man's plight

is worse than before.

And that is how it will be

with this wicked generation.

Now you understand?

What must I do?

That I don't know yet.

Not yet.

Your honor!

What is it?

Something should be done,

your honor.

- There's a wolf about.

- How do you know?

Not an ordinary wolf, sir.

It's as big as a calf.

A she-wolf. God forbid she

should whelp here.

That's enough.

What's that singing?

The women are returning

from church.

It's Candlemas today, sir.

People say that the bullet

for a beast like that...

...must be cast in holy water.

Now's the time to try

and get her...

It's a new moon.

What was it you saw, then?

Why don't you answer?

That's enough.

Now you prefer Otto,

but that won't last long.

I warned you,

but you wouldn't listen.

You have changed, Julia.

You are not yourself.

Be on your guard.

Against whom?

I don't know.

Nonsense!

You're jealous!

I no longer need you, Hortense.

For anything.

Au revoir, Mr Wosinski.

Why won't you say what

happened?

It's just a scratch.

I don't remember how I got it.

So careless.

My poor little one.

So you came after all.

Have you any wine?

I have. Take a seat.

Thank you.

There's a wolf about.

I saw her myself.

A she-wolf, big as a calf.

She killed your dog.

- Will you join me?

- No,

you shouldn't either.

You need a steady hand.

I missed, doctor.

For all my reputation

as a marksman, I missed.

Though perhaps I didn't?

I need a silver bullet.

- Will you cast one for me?

- I will.

In holy water,

for it's an unusual beast.

Tell me, Goldberg,

why is she pursuing me?

What does she want from me,

for God's sake?

It's true,

I beat her and called her b*tch.

And she said:

I won't be a b*tch but a she-wolf.

- On her deathbed she said that.

- You should have forgiven her.

I couldn't.

Did you love her?

Like my own soul.

Look what she was like once.

Leave that!

So that's what you meant...

...when I read the verse

from the Bible.

Yes.

So, you've made up your

mind yourself.

Go down, spirit of darkness.

Through iron to fire.

Through wood to water.

Turn into stone

and drink my blood.

Ariel, Sabbath, Ashtaroth,

thrice three, a triple trinity...

Ariel, Lucifer, Baroeth,

let your fire burn her.

Be damned, threefold and thrice,

the Trinity on the cross.

Open the door.

Excuse me, I've come for

the doctor, sir.

What's the matter?

Her ladyship's fallen ill.

Please come at once.

- When did it happen?

- Just now.

She's in terrible pain

and screaming.

Where's the pain?

In her chest.

Go back. I'll come right away.

Did you hear?

Now you know...

...what forces you unleashed.

Yes.

Listen to what I say.

Her pain will pass.

Now everything depends on you.

Some time after I've left

you must pull out the pin.

But you mustn't look at

what you're doing.

After that burn the picture.

But don't look at it.

- I knew they wouldn't come.

- They'll be here soon.

I know them too well.

- How are you feeling?

- Quite well.

Won't this tire you?

I can't lie in bed during

the carnival season.

I'm glad to hear that.

- Hasn't anybody come yet?

- No. And nobody will.

Why?

There are no snowdrifts...

The snow doesn't matter.

It's a demonstration.

A demonstration?

Yes. My esteemed neighbors

are playing patriots.

I don't see what patriotism

has to do with a ball.

It's tomfoolery. Come along!

I want to dance!

Have you brought it?

- Is it consecrated?

- I went to the church myself.

Pour it out.

What's going on at the mansion?

They're having a ball.

Very good.

Are there many guests?

None. Who'd celebrate

at times like these?

There are still some

decent Poles left.

You'd better think about

yourself now.

Have you brought the weapon?

I'll load it for you.

I'll do it myself.

Welcome home, sir.

Where is she?

Where was she buried?

There, under the wall.

It wasn't our doing.

Even I wasn't present.

You should have had her

re-buried later.

We hardly dared without

your approval, sir.

- Shall we go?

- I think they've finished digging.

You must try to stay calm, sir.

It's nothing. Come along,

the sheriff will find us.

Can we start?

Go ahead.

I beg you to desist.
