Brotherhood of the Wolf

Mylord, it's time, you have to leave.

They will have you arrested.

Bring me some candles,

i'm working late tonight.

But, mylord..

- And a glass of wine, as usual.

The world had no choice but to change...

.. but the revolution has become terror

and me myself will be taken with away.

The certainties make people blind

and mad.

They can tear their hearts apart

and make a beast of theirselves.

In the year 1764...

...the Beast appeared on our grounds

and made it his.

One year later it was known

far beyond our region...

...and people began to think nobody

could ever defeat it.

By his attacks the Gevaudan sunk

deeper and deeper into the darkness.

Stop...

Who are you?

What did he do?

- He's a thief.

And she?

His daughter. A witch.

I healed their horses and they

refuse to pay.

Do not listen.

A word has no meaning here.

Are the horses healed?

- Yes.

Go on.

Welcome in the land of the Beast.

And watch out for wolf-traps.

Knight Gregoire de Fronsac...

...en the man called Mani were

hunters nor soldiers.

As taxidermist of the king..

...the Knight in Paris the

reputation of a freeminded and

...intellectual person.

The one who was following him..

...as his shadow was a stranger

nobody knew of.

When evening fell...

...they offered theirselves to

the castle of marquis Apcher...

...who gave them shelter as long as their

mission in Gevaudan would last.

Our people are not afraid of an

ordinairy wolf. The Beast is different.

It flees from men like it knows

it has to..

but it spares women nor children.

Have you seen it?

- No.

How do you know it's an

animal then?

Those who survived gave that

description.

It's much bigger then a wolf

and it doesn't fear bullets.

I understand your scepticism.

I don't believe in monsters either...

...but i had a report made for

you..

...of the crimes of the Beast.

You can judge yourself.

Grandfather said you were

fighting the English in Canada...

Yes. I went there to study

the animals and nature.

...but i came back hurt

and with the grade of captain.

I arranged a hospital for the

victims of the Beast.

In an old abbey.

A women from Lorciere.

She came back from a party

...when the Beast attacked her.

Help came. The Beast vanished...

...but it deformed her face...

Tell me, Knight,

how is Mr Buffon?

And how are things in Paris?

And The Innocent One?

Read about it already?

It is kind of late for philosophy.

You're right. How about the theatre?

Do you know actrices?

What are they performing this winter?

Put it right there.

People say she is curtuous.

I'm not sure if it's true,

but they offered their charmes.

Tell me.

With this your curiousity will be

satisfied.

Mercurius of France.

We only have the Post of Avignon.

I will show you the sleeping room.

He is sleeping over here.

- Good.

Goodnight, Knight.

It's not Versailles,

but the wine is good.

Fat as a pig...

Jackques has seen many wolves.

What attacked him, was not a wolf.

The snout was longer and

the teeth were like knifes.

If it's not a wolf, what is it then?

A devil.

- Knight.

The Beast attacked a women in

Saint-Alban.

There.

Don't worry Knight, nobody is

here.

Stop.

What are they doing here?

Son of a whore.

Goodday, captain.

Sir Marquis.

I greet you. But be careful.

There are traps everywhere.

This is Gregoire de Fronsac,

of the garden of the King.

He wants to see the body of this

unlucky soul.

With your permission ofcourse.

You treated my men merciless

I did not know they were acting

in your command.

They were not.

You did good and I apoligize.

My soldiers are made for war,

not for hunting.

The intestines were emptied and now

there is poison in it.

What kind of gardener are you?

When the Beast is dead,

the king wants it examined...

...and save it in Paris.

I have to stuff it after the hunt.

Now I try getting familiar with it.

With such jaws the animal should

weigh 250 kilos.

This time I will catch it.

Before the first snow I will have it.

If everybody helps,

it can't escape.

Did you see it already?

- Once now.

In 13 months.

I shot it and hit it.

It collapsed but got up instantly again.

We lost it south of the Mouchet.

Did it look like this?

It had somesort of black bar...

with stings Do you understand?

Friends, let me introduce you

the maker of the drawings.

Knight Gregoire de Fronsac...

...the man comes from Paris to..

catch the Beast.

His Eminence,

the bisshop of Mende.

His Eminence,

the duke of Moncan

His Eminence,

the count of Morangias...

..and Mrs. Count

and their son Jean-Francois...

...who has traveled a lot too...

Good, mylord.

Thank you, mylord.

Mylord Laffond, our intendant..

..and the priest of Saint-Alban,

Henrie Sardis.

Tell us, mylord...

Are people talking a lot about

the Beast in Paris?

People even sang about it.

- They should prey.

Would captain Duhamel need

Gods help?

Who can without god's help?

Duhamel disguises his soldiers in

women.

To get the Beast. What a strategy.

- Duhamel does all he can.

I think you're obliging.

Duhamel is incapable.

They destroy a lot.

But the Beast is still there.

Like taxes are ment to be

for paying Duhamel...

...I rather give it to my

servants.

What do you think?

Mylord Duke likes carp at,

but he is a good christian.

When you arrived,

they were boring me...

...with the good God and all

that holy talk.
