Hello?
Hello?
Um, I was wondering if--
oh, I'm sorry.
Do you speak English?
Yes.
Yes, well, I'm looking
for my Uncle, Peter Kranek.
He was supposed to meet me here.
Um, he lives right over--
I know him.
Yes, well, he was
supposed to come--
We all know him.
Well, I was wondering
if I could call
him, if you have a telephone.
No.
No?
Um, isn't that a
phone right there?
Oh, yes, we have a telephone.
He does not.
Well, can I call for a cab?
WORKER: No.
No, I can't call for a cab?
No, there's no cab to call.
Well, can I at least
walk there from here?
Yes.
Will you show me?
Yes.
Go down this road.
Take the left fork.
Walk for about five miles.
You'll see a hill.
On the hill, a big house--
that is his.
Thank you.
No, there's another way.
Yes?
Across the platform,
the next train
will come in about an hour.
Take it and go back to
wherever you came from.
What?
Thanks a lot, for nothing.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHATTER]
I don't know.
Who's this going to be?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Go somewhere and do
something about it, man.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Hey, [NON-ENGLISH].
Don't be afraid.
We won't hurt you.
I'm not afraid of you.
Then why do you
stand so far away?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
OLD WOMAN: [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
You know about him?
If this is Peter Kranek's
house, he's my uncle.
Why?
Would you give
him this from us?
Why don't you just
give it to him yourself?
I don't think he
will take it from us,
because we are Gypsies.
Nobody likes us.
Why don't you come over
here and give it to me
yourself if you want
me to do you a favor?
Or are you afraid?
Afraid of you?
No, not of you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Why can't you people
leave me in peace?
[GASPS]
Eleanor?
What the hell are
you doing here?
I wrote your father
not to send you.
I-- I'm sorry.
The letter must have
gotten lost in the mail.
Um, speaking of mail, someone
gave me this to give to you.
What is it?
ELEANOR CRANE: I don't know.
Who gave it to you?
There's this boy
and this old woman
down the hill in this car.
Gypsies.
I'm sorry.
I know I told your
parents you could
stay here while they
were at the conference,
but it's not possible.
You will have to
go back to them.
Why?
I told you.
It's--
No, why isn't it possible?
There are reasons.
Well, what are they?
Look, Uncle Peter, normally
I would be more polite.
But around here,
nobody feels like they
need to be polite to me.
So I figure, why bother?
You talk like your
father, sarcastic.
It's not good for a girl.
Yeah, well, if I asked
in a more girlish way,
would you answer me?
PETER KRANEK: It's not safe.
There have been murders here
recently, terrible murders.
Uncle Peter, I grew
up in New York City.
It's different.
I-- I don't want you here.
I cannot be responsible for you.
I am not asking you to
be responsible for me.
Yes, but my brother is asking
me to be responsible for you.
And I cannot.
So you must go back to him.
Come.
We're going to the town.
We'll call your
father from there.
You will leave today.
Nice of you to have me.
If I did not care about you,
I would not care if you stayed.
Well, let's just hope you
care enough to carry my bags.
I had to lug them
all the way out here.
Don't worry.
I have no telephone.
But I do have an automobile.
Yes, I understand.
Yes, they are on the
conference floor.
But I'm in a train station
with their daughter.
Should I just leave her here?
No, I cannot call
back this evening.
That is too late.
You must-- [SIGHS].
She must leave.
Yes, I understand.
You are a functionary, and
you are incapable of making
any decision at all.
Goodbye.
Your parents are on
the conference floor.
They cannot be disturbed
by private calls.
So you see this
diplomatic business,
it's very important, more
important than family.
- I guess.
- It doesn't matter.
You will go back this afternoon.
WORKER: No.
What?
No more trains
till tomorrow noon.
Then we will find a place
for you to stay in town.
Why in town?
Yes, Mr. Kranek.
Why in town?
Surely you have
enough room for us
since you dismissed
all your servants.
I'm not-- I--
Besides, sir, you know
that the inn has been closed
since poor Soren was killed.
Look, if I'm going
to be a burden,
I can just stay
here at the station.
BOTH: No.
You can come
home with me, girl.
You'll be safe.
No, there is no reason
why she should not
stay at the mansion, no reason.
Well then, perhaps
you should be going.
It's getting late.
The sun will soon be
down, and the full moon--
That's enough.
I know what you think.
I know what you all think.
And what is that, Mr. Kranek?
Come along.
Tomorrow you'll go.
Listen to me very carefully.
You must not attempt to
leave this room tonight
no matter what you may hear.
And you may hear nothing.
But no matter what happens,
you must not leave this room.
What is going on?
I wish to God I knew.
Please, please,
stay in this room.
[CLATTER]
Uncle Peter,
what are you doing?
You can't lock me in here.
PETER KRANEK: I'm sorry.
It's for your own protection.
Uncle Peter, get back here.
What if there's a fire?

[GROANS]
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god, Uncle Peter.
Oh, my god.
Are you OK?
What happened to you?
Peter, what happened?
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Oh, god, I don't believe
in Vukodlak superstitions.
I'm raised not to believe.
But now I believe.
God help me, I believe.
What are you talking about?
Three months ago, I
was sitting at that desk.
The window was open.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROWLING]
I made myself believe
that it hadn't been a wolf,
that I hadn't seen what I saw.
What was it?
Vukodlak, the wolf
that walks like a man.
A werewolf.
You're telling me you were
attacked by a werewolf.
The next night, the next night
when the full moon rose, I--
I blacked out.
The next morning,
my servants told me
that I had vanished
from my rooms,
gone out the window
from the second story
and come back in the same way.
But I didn't remember.
Then they found the
first body, Anna Skornik,
torn as if by a wild animal.
I didn't want to.
Believe me.
My mind did not want to
know, but my heart knew.
That is why I
dismissed the servants.
Though I tell myself it's
because I did not want
them harmed, but that is a lie.
I dismissed them so
that they would not see,
so that they would
not see what happened
during the hours of the
full moon, the hours
that I can not remember.
When I hunt in the night,
when I kill in the night--
A handy confession,
Mr. Kranek.
Ah.
So you no longer call
me by my first name.
Or should I say, Inspector Krol.
I have made a terrible
mistake, Mr. Kranek.
I refused to believe that a man
like you could be a murderer.
But now we follow a trail
of blood to your door
and hear your own confession.
It's not his fault. He can't
help what happened to him.
Place Mr. Kranek under arrest.
Wait.
I strongly advise that
you offer no resistance.
Wait, you don't understand.
The moon is full again tonight.
You think that
bullets will stop me?
Oh, yes, Mr. Kranek,
most assuredly so.
They tell stories
of wolves who walk,
who are immune to bullets.
But we know
differently, don't we?
The only monsters I have
ever met, Mr. Kranek,
are human monsters.
And you are one.
Bars will hold you.
Bullets will kill you.
And a rope will hang you.
Take him away.
You are very fortunate
to be alive, young lady.
I saw bullet
holes in his chest.
I saw them close up.
I saw them disappear,
just like--
Just like on
television, perhaps.
Come along.
We will discuss this
further in town.
Am I under arrest?
Well, if you insist.
I prefer to think that you are
aiding us in our investigation.
Come.
OK, drop it.
Sorry, I left them waiting.
[INAUDIBLE]
Listen to me.
You have to understand.
You will all die.
- You first.
No, listen to me.
You'll all die.
Listen to me.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You didn't find any
wounds on him, did you?
No, only the scar
on his shoulder.
But you didn't find
any blood on him.
No, but he could have cleaned
it off after he reached home.
But he didn't.
Look, I was there.
I-- I saw the bullet
holes, and I--
I saw--
- Yes, I know.
The, uh, bullet holes closed up.
Please forgive me for saying
this, Ms. Crane, but, uh,
to my mind, it is much more
likely that young girls lie
than that men turn into wolves.
You helped him clean off
the blood, didn't you?
No.
And I'm not lying to you.
Well, I talked to
your father in Geneva.
And you will return to
him by tomorrow's train.
What's going to
happen to Peter?
That is for the
court to decide,
perhaps the madhouse,
perhaps death by hanging.
I'm sorry, Ms. Crane.
I know this must be
very upsetting to you,
but, uh, I don't think you
would want me to lie to you.
Listen, Mister--
Inspector.
Inspector, tonight when the
full moon rises, my uncle's
going to change.
Look, he's going to become--
Ah, that is something I
would like very much to see.
Am I free to go?
Yes, of course.
My constable can drive to
your uncle's residence.
I'll walk.
As you wish.
The region is quite safe.
You will not be troubled, now.
Aren't you a bit
young to be driving?
My grandmother
wants to see you.
Get in.
Is that an order?
How can I give you an order?
You're not my sister.
Get in.
You like it?
Good, huh?
Yes, and thank you.
You're welcome.
See?
I'm polite.
Now come.
My grandmother wants to see you.
Isn't she here?
No, close.
She wants to talk privately.
Let's go.
Come on.
Where are we going?
We're really close.
It's close.
Here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
You know what he is, about
the curse of the wolf.
He took it from my
grandmother's brother.
He had it for a long time.
Most time, when
the full is full,
they keep him chained,
give him animals to kill.
Sometimes he'd get
loose, kill men.
You understand?
So he's the one who
attacked my uncle.
Yes, your uncle stabbed
him with a silver blade,
killed him.
He is buried here.
Now, your uncle, he
can't lose the curse.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
She says nothing
kills [INAUDIBLE]..
And [INAUDIBLE] can
not kill himself.
You understand?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Only silver
kills the wolf man.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
You ever shot?
No.
CARL: You know how?
Pull back hammer till
it clicks like this.
Then shoot.
- Wait.
Hold on.
Wait a second.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
These are silver.
We made them from the
blade that killed my uncle,
only enough for three.
Are you trying to tell me
she wants me to kill my uncle?
Take it.
No, I don't want it.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Take for your uncle.
[INAUDIBLE] his death.
Take.
But he is your
uncle, of course.
Come.
Take me back to the village.
Where in the village?
- The police station.
- OK.
I'll take you.
- I have to see him now.
- Please.
I want to see my uncle.
Why?
Does it matter why?
Sometimes.
You have told me that you are
not very close to your uncle,
that you have not seen
him since you were a baby.
You have only seen him for a
few minutes since you came here.
And even during
that time, he tried
to get you to go back to Geneva
and locked you in a bedroom
without food.
So I wonder, what
will you tell him?
What will you ask him?
Look, Inspector, I don't
want to argue with you.
Can I see him or not?
Come along.
So you've come to
visit me after all.
Or is it to be interrogation?
You need all these
men to guard my uncle.
It is a reasonable precaution.
It's an absurdity,
and he knows it.
Inspector, I'd like
to see him alone.
That is quite impossible.
What do you think
I'll do to her, huh?
What are you afraid of?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
I do not think he can
harm you, Ms. Crane.
But if you take my
advice, you won't
get too close to the bars.
- Thank you for coming.
- Uh, Peter, look--
Please, I need you to take
a message to your father.
For a long time, as boys,
as young men, we were close.
And then for a long time, we
were not close, just because I
was jealous of your father.
I know this now.
Because he was successful?
No, because your
father saw his future,
saw his destiny and-- and
pursued it and achieved it.
And I could not.
I never saw my destiny.
Now it is too late for anything.
Please tell him that I'm sorry.
- I will.
Look, Peter, is there any--
anything I can do for you?
What needs to be done
I'm afraid you cannot do.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
What?
I can't do it.
I can't do this.
I can't do it.
Eleanor?
Ms. Crane?
[CRYING]
CARL: Hey.
I didn't hear any shots.
I don't see any
policemen running.
Don't feel bad.
We couldn't do it either.
Come on.
I'll take you to
your uncle's house.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Please, I can't stop it.
Run.
Run.
Run, run, run, run, run, run.

Please don't make me
shoot you, please.
Please, Uncle Peter,
these are silver bullets.
Please don't make me kill you.
It's me.
Yeah, it's Eleanor.
Yes, it's me.
It's me.
Please, Uncle Peter, it's me.
Please remember.
It's me.
Please, it's me, Eleanor.
Remember?
It's me.
[ROARS]
Oh, ah.
[SOBS]
Oh, my god.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
[SOBS]
Oh, my god.
Oh.
Uncle Peter?
This was my destiny, to be
a thing of wonder and terror
and then to die.
Do not cry.
Do not be sad for me.
I talked to your mother.
You will be met in Geneva.
[SIGHS] The train should
be here any minute.
Ms. Crane, I, uh, I told your
mother only that Mr. Kranek has
died in a shooting accident.
You may tell her
whatever you wish.
But you must understand
there could have been
no official report on this.
There is no proof.
And even a very foolish,
pig-headed inspector
is thinking of his job.
Ms. Crane, your uncle was--
What about my uncle?
He was a very kind
and charming man
in a world that is sorely
lacking in such qualities.
He was one of my
closest friends.
One of my deepest regrets
is not believing him.
I have my other
duties to attend.
I bid you good bye.
Inspector.
Thank you.
I'm-- I'm sure my
uncle understood.
He was a very smart
man, my uncle.
Indeed he was.
Good bye.
CARL: Hey, [NON-ENGLISH].
My name's Eleanor.
OK, Eleanor, she
wants to see you.
You kill him with
a silver bullet.
You did good.
But I didn't want to.
He forced me to.
He wanted to die.
Yes.
I understand.
I understand.
CARL: Good luck, Eleanor.
- Good luck.
Thank you.
You're welcome.

that I hadn't seen what I saw.
What was it?
Vukodlak, the wolf
that walks like a man.
A werewolf.
You're telling me you were
attacked by a werewolf.
The next night, the next night
when the full moon rose, I--
I blacked out.
The next morning,
my servants told me
that I had vanished
from my rooms,
gone out the window
from the second story
and come back in the same way.
But I didn't remember.
Then they found the
first body, Anna Skornik,
torn as if by a wild animal.
I didn't want to.
Believe me.
My mind did not want to
know, but my heart knew.
That is why I
dismissed the servants.
Though I tell myself it's
because I did not want
them harmed, but that is a lie.
I dismissed them so
that they would not see,
so that they would
not see what happened
during the hours of the
full moon, the hours
that I can not remember.
When I hunt in the night,
when I kill in the night--
A handy confession,
Mr. Kranek.
Ah.
So you no longer call
me by my first name.
Or should I say, Inspector Krol.
I have made a terrible
mistake, Mr. Kranek.
I refused to believe that a man
like you could be a murderer.
But now we follow a trail
of blood to your door
and hear your own confession.
It's not his fault. He can't
help what happened to him.
Place Mr. Kranek under arrest.
Wait.
I strongly advise that
you offer no resistance.
Wait, you don't understand.
The moon is full again tonight.
You think that
bullets will stop me?
Oh, yes, Mr. Kranek,
most assuredly so.
They tell stories
of wolves who walk,
who are immune to bullets.
But we know
differently, don't we?
The only monsters I have
ever met, Mr. Kranek,
are human monsters.
And you are one.
Bars will hold you.
Bullets will kill you.
And a rope will hang you.
Take him away.
You are very fortunate
to be alive, young lady.
I saw bullet
holes in his chest.
I saw them close up.
I saw them disappear,
just like--
Just like on
television, perhaps.
Come along.
We will discuss this
further in town.
Am I under arrest?
Well, if you insist.
I prefer to think that you are
aiding us in our investigation.
Come.
OK, drop it.
Sorry, I left them waiting.
[INAUDIBLE]
Listen to me.
You have to understand.
You will all die.
- You first.
No, listen to me.
You'll all die.
Listen to me.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You didn't find any
wounds on him, did you?
No, only the scar
on his shoulder.
But you didn't find
any blood on him.
No, but he could have cleaned
it off after he reached home.
But he didn't.
Look, I was there.
I-- I saw the bullet
holes, and I--
I saw--
- Yes, I know.
The, uh, bullet holes closed up.
Please forgive me for saying
this, Ms. Crane, but, uh,
to my mind, it is much more
likely that young girls lie
than that men turn into wolves.
You helped him clean off
the blood, didn't you?
No.
And I'm not lying to you.
Well, I talked to
your father in Geneva.
And you will return to
him by tomorrow's train.
What's going to
happen to Peter?
That is for the
court to decide,
perhaps the madhouse,
perhaps death by hanging.
I'm sorry, Ms. Crane.
I know this must be
very upsetting to you,
but, uh, I don't think you
would want me to lie to you.
Listen, Mister--
Inspector.
Inspector, tonight when the
full moon rises, my uncle's
going to change.
Look, he's going to become--
Ah, that is something I
would like very much to see.
Am I free to go?
Yes, of course.
My constable can drive to
your uncle's residence.
I'll walk.
As you wish.
The region is quite safe.
You will not be troubled, now.
Aren't you a bit
young to be driving?
My grandmother
wants to see you.
Get in.
Is that an order?
How can I give you an order?
You're not my sister.
Get in.
You like it?
Good, huh?
Yes, and thank you.
You're welcome.
See?
I'm polite.
Now come.
My grandmother wants to see you.
Isn't she here?
No, close.
She wants to talk privately.
Let's go.
Come on.
Where are we going?
We're really close.
It's close.
Here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
You know what he is, about
the curse of the wolf.
He took it from my
grandmother's brother.
He had it for a long time.
Most time, when
the full is full,
they keep him chained,
give him animals to kill.
Sometimes he'd get
loose, kill men.
You understand?
So he's the one who
attacked my uncle.
Yes, your uncle stabbed
him with a silver blade,
killed him.
He is buried here.
Now, your uncle, he
can't lose the curse.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
She says nothing
kills [INAUDIBLE]..
And [INAUDIBLE] can
not kill himself.
You understand?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Only silver
kills the wolf man.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
You ever shot?
No.
CARL: You know how?
Pull back hammer till
it clicks like this.
Then shoot.
- Wait.
Hold on.
Wait a second.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
These are silver.
We made them from the
blade that killed my uncle,
only enough for three.
Are you trying to tell me
she wants me to kill my uncle?
Take it.
No, I don't want it.
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Take for your uncle.
[INAUDIBLE] his death.
Take.
But he is your
uncle, of course.
Come.
Take me back to the village.
Where in the village?
- The police station.
- OK.
I'll take you.
- I have to see him now.
- Please.
I want to see my uncle.
Why?
Does it matter why?
Sometimes.
You have told me that you are
not very close to your uncle,
that you have not seen
him since you were a baby.
You have only seen him for a
few minutes since you came here.
And even during
that time, he tried
to get you to go back to Geneva
and locked you in a bedroom
without food.
So I wonder, what
will you tell him?
What will you ask him?
Look, Inspector, I don't
want to argue with you.
Can I see him or not?
Come along.
So you've come to
visit me after all.
Or is it to be interrogation?
You need all these
men to guard my uncle.
It is a reasonable precaution.
It's an absurdity,
and he knows it.
Inspector, I'd like
to see him alone.
That is quite impossible.
What do you think
I'll do to her, huh?
What are you afraid of?
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
I do not think he can
harm you, Ms. Crane.
But if you take my
advice, you won't
get too close to the bars.
- Thank you for coming.
- Uh, Peter, look--
Please, I need you to take
a message to your father.
For a long time, as boys,
as young men, we were close.
And then for a long time, we
were not close, just because I
was jealous of your father.
I know this now.
Because he was successful?
No, because your
father saw his future,
saw his destiny and-- and
pursued it and achieved it.
And I could not.
I never saw my destiny.
Now it is too late for anything.
Please tell him that I'm sorry.
- I will.
Look, Peter, is there any--
anything I can do for you?
What needs to be done
I'm afraid you cannot do.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
What?
I can't do it.
I can't do this.
I can't do it.
Eleanor?
Ms. Crane?
[CRYING]
CARL: Hey.
I didn't hear any shots.
I don't see any
policemen running.
Don't feel bad.
We couldn't do it either.
Come on.
I'll take you to
your uncle's house.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
Please, I can't stop it.
Run.
Run.
Run, run, run, run, run, run.
[GROANING]
[SNARLS]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
[ROARS]
[INAUDIBLE] I shot him.
[ROARING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[ANIMAL SCREAMS IN DISTANCE]
[HOWLS]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, no.
Oh.
[SCREAMS]
[GROWLS]
Please.
It's me.
It's Eleanor.
Please don't make me
shoot you, please.
Please, Uncle Peter,
these are silver bullets.
Please don't make me kill you.
It's me.
Yeah, it's Eleanor.
Yes, it's me.
It's me.
Please, Uncle Peter, it's me.
Please remember.
It's me.
Please, it's me, Eleanor.
Remember?
It's me.
[ROARS]
Oh, ah.
[SOBS]
Oh, my god.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
[SOBS]
Oh, my god.
Oh.
Uncle Peter?
This was my destiny, to be
a thing of wonder and terror
and then to die.
Do not cry.
Do not be sad for me.
I talked to your mother.
You will be met in Geneva.
[SIGHS] The train should
be here any minute.
Ms. Crane, I, uh, I told your
mother only that Mr. Kranek has
died in a shooting accident.
You may tell her
whatever you wish.
But you must understand
there could have been
no official report on this.
There is no proof.
And even a very foolish,
pig-headed inspector
is thinking of his job.
Ms. Crane, your uncle was--
What about my uncle?
He was a very kind
and charming man
in a world that is sorely
lacking in such qualities.
He was one of my
closest friends.
One of my deepest regrets
is not believing him.
I have my other
duties to attend.
I bid you good bye.
Inspector.
Thank you.
I'm-- I'm sure my
uncle understood.
He was a very smart
man, my uncle.
Indeed he was.
Good bye.
CARL: Hey, [NON-ENGLISH].
My name's Eleanor.
OK, Eleanor, she
wants to see you.
You kill him with
a silver bullet.
You did good.
But I didn't want to.
He forced me to.
He wanted to die.
Yes.
I understand.
I understand.
CARL: Good luck, Eleanor.
- Good luck.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
