Lawrence Stewart Talbot.

who died at the youthful

age of 31.

R.I.P.

That's it.

Give me the chisel.

Suppose they didn't bury him

with the money on him.

Everybody in the village

knows about it...

his gold watch and ring

and money in his pockets.

It's a sin to bury good money when

it could help people. [Chuckles]

This gives me the creeps.

What do you think it will

look like after so many years?

Just bones

and an empty skull.

Watch the lamp.

Get me the light.

Wolfbane.

Wolfbane?

Yes.

Even a man who is

pure at heart...

and says his prayers

by night...

may become a wolf...

when the wolfbane

blooms...

and the moon is

full and bright.

It looks like

he's asleep.

Let's get on with it.

First the ring.

We won't have to worry for a long

time. I thought the dead was stiff.

Shut up.

Gold.

It's holding me.

Help me.

Help me.

Alive.

Help. Help!

Don't leave me!

Here. Now.

Come up.

Come on. Wake up and get along with you.

You've got a home.

haven't you?

Or do you want me to

take you to the station?

Good heavens!

How is the patient. Nurse?

He's conscious. Dr. Mannering.

And talked. He insists upon sitting up.

Conscious? Talked?

But that's impossible so soon

after a critical operation.

The nurse tells me

you're well enough to talk.

Why. Yes.

Pulse. 72.

no fever.

There's no pain?

No.

Where am I?

Queen's Hospital.

Queens? Yes. Queen's

Hospital in Cardiff.

Wh...

How did I get here?

You were found in the street more

dead than alive with a head injury.

How did you get

that skull fracture?

I... don't remember.

This is Inspector Owen.

I'm Dr. Mannering.

What's your name?

Lawrence Talbot.

Where did you come from?

Llanwelly Village.

But... how did I get

to Cardiff?

That's enough for now.

You must rest.

You'll be fit again

very soon.

If there's any change.

call me immediately.

Yes. Doctor.

Hello? Put me through to the

police station at Llanwelly.

Just a routine checkup. Doctor.

Then we can close the case.

[Phone Rings]

[Continues Ringing]

[Ringing]

Llanwelly Police Station.

This is Inspector Owen

speaking. From Cardiff.

Have you got anything in

your file on a man named...

Lawrence Talbot?

Why. Of course.

He lived here.

Good. That's all right. Then. We've

got him up here in our hospital.

Huh. I wouldn't want him

in our hospital.

He died four years ago.

Why. Of course I'm sure.

Inspector.

I was present

at his funeral.

That'll be all.

Inspector. Good-bye.

Lawrence Talbot died four years

ago. Your man's an impostor.

That's a harsh word. Inspector.

Poor devil of unsound mind.

I'll wager he's sound enough

to remember his own name.

I'm gonna have

another talk with him.

Inspector.

Yeah?

That man is my patient.

not your prisoner.

I'll decide when

he can be questioned again.

Very well.

It's in your hands.

[Snarling]

I found this bandage here

when I came in this morning.

I didn't open the window.

The patient must've done it himself.

You'd better

cover him up.

You're all right.

Nothing has happened.

Better get some more bandages.

We'll renew the compress.

Now. Don't excite yourself.

Please be calm.

Doctor... something

terrible has happened.

You must've had a nightmare. It's

evident you were walking in your sleep.

Call the police.

The police? Yes. You'd better call them.

I'm a...

I'm a murderer.

Yes. Of course.

Anything you say.

Ask Inspector Owen to come

here at once. Yes. Doctor.

What is all this

about wanting the police?

Last night. L...

I killed someone.

But you were in

this room all night.
