Red Riding Hood Page #6

Go to the granary.

You're gonna try and rescue her?

- Well, I'll help.

- I'm not that desperate.

Oh, really? Then what's your plan, huh?

See, you don't have one.

Look, you've seen those locks.

I've got a shop and I've got tools.

You need me.

Okay. Fine.

But if you're the wolf,

I'm gonna chop your head off.

I will do the same to you.

Fair enough.

Go home!

Where's my brother? Father Solomon

told me you'd release him.

We did.

Grandma.

Bread. Blanket.

Do you need anything else?

I do not want you to use that knife.

- We have to find the wolf.

- By sundown?

Listen, the wolf wants you.

But first it killed your sister.

No. I didn't know it,

but Lucie was in love with Henry.

And when she found out

about my engagement...

...she gave herself to the wolf.

No. Lucie wouldn't do that.

- Your time is up.

- But she might have responded to Henry.

Please see that she gets that.

Oaf.

Cesaire.

I'm gonna save your daughter.

And then I intend to marry her.

I'd like your blessing in this,

but I can live without it.

What can I do?

We're closed.

It's me.

Hello, Henry.

- I brought you some biscuits.

- Thanks.

I just wanna thank you

for speaking up this morning.

Here, try some.

Yes.

That was very brave of you.

I said what I felt.

You know...

...I want you to know you're under no

obligation to stand up for Valerie.

You're no longer engaged to her.

She's in love with someone else.

That doesn't mean

I've stopped caring about her.

I imagine that's just how

Lucie felt about you.

She had a crush on me.

Oh, more than a crush. I think she would

have done absolutely anything for you.

Even agree to meet you on a wolf night

if you asked her to.

Why are you doing this?

Do you think I'm the wolf?

Are you accusing me of murder?

I'm not accusing you of anything.

I just want to find out the truth.

It's you.

My God, it's you.

I can smell it on you.

Heh. What can you smell on me?

The night my father died, I could smell

the wolf. It was like a deep musk.

And I can smell it all over you right now.

What do you do out there in that cabin

all by yourself in the middle of the night?

On the night that Lucie died?

You don't know, do you?

I know what you're doing. And I'm not

gonna let you turn this on me.

Oh.

You're coming with us.

- I haven't done anything.

- Just a precaution.

Father Solomon doesn't want

any trouble from the witch's family.

It's time to put on your harlot's robe.

Valerie.

I did my best to protect you.

You and Lucie.

I know, Papa.

You taught us to be strong.

Father Solomon had designed

the mask for public disgrace.

And even my friends stared, judging me.

Stop.

What if they were right?
