961 - March 1, 1970

[bunniefuu]

[eerie music]

This night in Collinwood there are those who will live

in mortal fear until dawn.

A full moon has risen and they believe a werewolf

will prowl the woods in search of a victim,

but only two living persons know

that for the past hours,

Chris Jennings has been held prisoner in an abandoned crypt

in the old Eagle Hill cemetery,

and now that the moon has risen,

the transformation from man to beast has taken place,

and Chris Jennings' double-life may soon come to an end.

VOICEOVER: Stop!

You told me to do it!

I know what I told you.

My plans have changed.

Why?

That's my business.

I didn't get here a moment too soon, did I?

So my suspicions all proved to be correct, didn't they?

My, my, Mr. Jennings, how you've changed! [chuckling]

[growling]

Does the tone of my voice anger you?

Good, I want you to get good and mad,

mad enough to rip a man to shreds!

So that's what you're gonna do for me later tonight.

Yes, I see that.

You should be grateful to me for saving your life!

And I'm going to give you the opportunity

to show your gratitude,

because I have new plans for you,

important new plans.

BARNABAS:Megan, wherever you are,

my mind will reach you.

You will know I need you, and you will come to me.

You will come to me, Megan.

Come to me.

You must.

Surprised you're not with Carolyn tonight.

Is that why you're so upset?

You know why I'm upset!

Yes, even a man who is pure at heart

and says his prayers at night can become a werewolf

when the wolfsbane blooms and the moon is full and bright.

That's enough, Megan!

Oh, you were the one who taught me that poem.

Look, that thing is out there in the woods looking for me,

and Bruno has to find him tonight and k*ll him.

BARNABAS:I command you, Megan, come to me now.

I need you, I need you.

What's the matter with you?

Nothing, I just remembered something

I've got to do at Collinwood.

Something that disturbs you?

No, no, of course not.

Oh come on, your whole mood's changed.

Is there something you haven't told me, huh?

You know I've never kept anything from you.

May I go now?

Sure, go ahead.

[swirly, suspenseful music]

[growling and chains clinking]

What are you going to do to him?

The first thing I'm gonna do is get him

into a proper frame of mind.

I don't understand.

Well you will in a minute.

[growling and rumbling]

Ah, does the shiny metal bother you? [chuckles]

Look at it!

Go ahead and look at it! [cackling]

Get him mad enough, he may break loose!

Get outside and wait by the door,

I'll handle this alone.

Go on!

Like I said, I want you mad,

mad enough to rip a man to shreds,

because that's what you're gonna do for me later on tonight.

Yes, oh, his name is Jeb Hawks,

and you're going to k*ll him for me!

[thump]

[howling cries]

Hiyaa!

Hiyaa!

Go on, get yourself worked up, that's what I want!

Hiyaa! [whip cracks and thumps]

[growling]

[suspenseful music]

Come in, Megan.

I got here as fast as I could.

I'm very grateful, I need your help.

I came here to be with you.

That will come later, but there's something

I want you to do for me first.

Tell me what it is.

I received a note from Julia Hoffman awhile ago.

Apparently Chris Jennings has been missing

from his cottage since early last evening.

Now I've told you about Chris.

Yes, and there's a full moon tonight.

He'd agreed with Julia to go to Windcliff,

and when she went to look for him,

Sabrina told her that he'd been missing since last night.

Now I'm afraid that Jeb may have him.

But I was just with Jeb.

No, the way he was behaving,

I can't believe that he knows anything about Chris.

Well, he wouldn't just go away

without telling Julia or Sabrina.

What about Bruno?

What if he's found out?

I don't know.

Bruno hasn't been around the carriage house much since--

Since when?

Since last night.

Megan, you must go back there right away

and find out what you can.

Now Jeb must certainly know what Bruno's doing

and where he is.

Barnabas, I don't want to go back to Jeb's anymore,

it's too risky.

I'm sure he already is suspicious.

But you must do this for me, it's vitally important!

I just want to be here with you.

Megan, don't force me to make you go.

I don't want to do that.

But I want you to.

Go on, Barnabas.

Go on, I want you to.

One more for good measure.

Hiyaa! [thump]

[breathing heavily]

MAN IN BLACK: What have you done to him?

Just showed him who was master.

He'll be pretty mad when he wakes up.

Okay, you can loosen up the chains.

You want him to be free?

Only from the chains.

I don't want him to get out of this crypt.

Why do you want him loose in here?

I have my reasons.

Is that the way Jeb wants it?

If it isn't, I don't think we ought to do it.

Well, it is the way that Jeb wants it,

and we do what Jeb wants, don't we?

Yes.

Good, I'm glad we're in agreement.

Now loosen up those chains!

No, wait a minute, wait till I get outside,

then let him loose, and then you come out.

[door lock clanks]

[chains clinking] [foreboding music]

[door rattles]

[growling]

[yelling]

Ah, no, no, ah, ah, ah!

JEB: Well?

There's no sign of the animal.

Oh man, if we don't find him by the end of the night

we're gonna wait another whole month?

Look I'm sorry, I'm doing my best,

but if I can't find him, I can't k*ll him.

Wait a minute.

You know, I don't think that animal's out there tonight,

in the woods, I don't think so.

Why not, what makes you think that?

Because every other time I hear him howling out there,

and I don't hear anything tonight.

Come to think of it, neither do I.

Do you think something's happened to him?

Like what?

BRUNO: Well I don't know, maybe somebody caught him,

like the police.

Oh no, I couldn't be that lucky.

Well, I'll be going out in a few minutes

and start looking for him again.

You'd better plan to spend the night here.

Oh no, no, I'm going to Collinwood.

I'm going to see Carolyn.

I wouldn't do that, it's not safe.

Look, I hate being cooped up in here!

No, I wanna see Carolyn, and I'm gonna see her.

You can call me if anything happens.

I'll do that.

Yes, Jeb, I'll do that.

Megan, what are you doing here?

I came to talk to Jeb.

He's at Collinwood with Carolyn.

As usual.

There's a full moon out tonight, Megan.

You shouldn't be out alone.

I know.

You haven't found the werewolf yet, I take it?

That's right.

And you haven't learned his identity?

Is there any reason why I should have?

Oh, it's just that you haven't been around much

in the past few days, I just wondered.

Are you all right, Megan?

Yes, why?

You seem not yourself, you look very pale.

[breathing heavily] I'll be all right.

I'm just very tired.

Megan!

Megan, can you hear me?

The mark of the vampire!

So that's your trouble.

You have nothing to worry about from Jeb, Megan.

I won't tell him.

This is going to be our secret.

Yes my dear Megan, you may be able to help me.

In the unlikely event that my plan fails,

you can give me the protection I need.

[suspenseful music]

Without silver b*ll*ts in the p*stol,

Jeb won't stand a chance.

That animal will rip him to pieces!

Megan?

Can you hear me, Megan?

That's it, open up your eyes.

Bruno, Bruno, what happened to me?

You passed out.

You're not quite as well as you thought you were.

You gave me quite a scare.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Jeb's gonna be awfully upset when he hears about this.

Oh no, no, Bruno, I don't want him to know about it.

Please don't tell him.

Well, you know how concerned Jeb is about you.

If there's anything wrong with you--

But there isn't anything wrong, please believe me.

A person doesn't just pass out for no reason.

Bruno, Bruno, please listen to me.

It was strictly fatigue, fatigue, that's what it was.

I've had so many things on my mind,

what with Philip in jail

and Jeb feeling he's in constant danger,

I haven't had much sleep, that's all it is.

Please don't say anything to Jeb.

Well, all right, but only on one condition.

You go back to Collinwood now

and get the rest you need, understand?

Yes, yes, yes, I'll do that.

Thank you, thank you, Bruno.

Maybe, I should take you back?

No no, I'm all right.

I can make it on my own.

Thank you Bruno, goodnight.

Good night, Megan.

[rotary phone dialing]

Carolyn?

This is Bruno, is Jeb there?

Thank you.

Jeb, your worries are over.

I've captured the werewolf.

Yes, captured him!

No, it was a pure stroke of luck.

I've got him trapped in the crypt up at Eagle Hill cemetery.

How soon can you meet me there?

Good, I'll be waiting!

Did you find out anything?

No, but Bruno almost found out about me.

What do you mean?

I fainted while I was there, but I don't think that

Bruno suspects the truth.

Did you question him about the werewolf?

Yes, Bruno hasn't found him,

and he hasn't found his identity either.

He could be lying.

Why should he lie if he thinks I'm still one of them?

I don't know, but I'm beginning to think

that something terrible has happened to Chris.

He still in there?

Of course!

You don't think that after all the work we've gone through

that I'd let something happen so he could get away, do you?

This is too good to be true.

I'd almost like to wait and see him change

and find out who he really is.

Oh, you'll find out.

As soon as he's dead, the transformation will take place.

Yeah, right, okay, now get in there and finish him off.

Me?

JEB: Yeah, you.

If I thought I was the one to do it,

I'd have k*lled him first and then called you.

JEB: Well, why didn't you?

Well, because you're the one he's been after.

I thought you should have the honor

of k*lling your principal enemy.

And besides, after that little misunderstanding

we had earlier this evening,

I'm not about to do anything without consulting you first.

Remember, I lead, or you lead rather, and I follow.

Yeah, I remember.

Jeb, the honor is really yours.

After you go inside, I'll close the door after you

so that he can't get away.

Unless of course you want me to do it for you.

No, I will do it.

[growling]

[g*nf*re]

[growling]

Bruno!

Bruno, it didn't work!

Bruno, oh Bruno!

[garbled screaming]
