00:00:02The End
00:00:40The End
00:01:26What is it, Latham?
00:01:27Well, it's nearly 10 o'clock, Inspector. I have a carriage waiting.
00:01:31Carriage? What carriage?
00:01:32You wanted to have a look at that place in the park this morning, don't you recall, sir?
00:01:36Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:01:38You found it nuisance, spending one's time on routine investigations.
00:01:42I'd hardly call this routine, sir.
00:01:45What would you call it?
00:01:46Well, I say it was highly unusual. A man being attacked by a werewolf in a London park.
00:01:53Werewolf? I'm surprised at you, Latham. I always looked upon you as an intelligent man.
00:01:59Where on earth did you get this werewolf idea? I know. You've been looking at the papers.
00:02:04Well, they are full of it, sir.
00:02:05Well, boss, what I understand of the case, the man was nipped by a stray dog.
00:02:10Oh, it was much worse than that, sir. He was very badly slashed.
00:02:13And he swears that it was not an animal that attacked him.
00:02:16Well, I suppose he was accosted by a man who suddenly spouted hairy ears and long fangs.
00:02:22No, sir. No ears and no fangs. As a matter of fact, it wasn't a man. It was a woman.
00:02:28A little early in the morning to be visiting grog shops, isn't it?
00:02:31Oh, sir, I never touch a drop before six o'clock in the evening.
00:02:37Come along.
00:02:38Yes, sir.
00:02:46Fine morning, isn't it?
00:02:47Much too fine to be wasted on minor things like stray dogs.
00:02:51Yes, sir.
00:02:58Well, Miss Allenby, are you prepared to accept defeat gracefully?
00:03:02You haven't defeated me yet, Mr. Landfield.
00:03:05We're certainly formal this morning, aren't we, Phyllis?
00:03:08Yes, we are.
00:03:09Much too formal for two people who are going to be married next week.
00:03:13Next December.
00:03:14Next week.
00:03:15This race is merely a formality.
00:03:18You sure you don't want the handicap I offered you?
00:03:20No, thank you.
00:03:20All right.
00:03:22Do you mind if I review the terms of the race, just to refresh your memory?
00:03:26As a lawyer, I don't want any loopholes.
00:03:28I'll save you the trouble, sir.
00:03:30We race to the road in the Glen, and the winner names our wedding day,
00:03:34which will be next December, because I'm going to win.
00:03:37And I adore winter weddings.
00:03:39And I detest them.
00:03:40That's why I'm going to win.
00:03:42You ready?
00:03:42Ready.
00:03:44Start counting.
00:03:45One, two, three, go!
00:04:15Well, Miss Allenby, I won fairly well.
00:04:17and squarely and squarely, and next week you become Mrs. Barry Landfield.
00:04:21You should have taken that five-length handicap I offered you.
00:04:24I'm glad I didn't, Barry.
00:04:25You see, I didn't really want to wait until next December.
00:04:30You didn't?
00:04:34Uh-huh.
00:04:35You see?
00:04:35All their woman's footprints, Inspector.
00:04:37There's no doubt about it.
00:04:39You see, she came along the meadow and probably went through this hedge.
00:04:42You know, that fellow might have been telling the truth
00:04:44about a female werewolf attacking him.
00:04:47Stop that nonsense about a werewolf attacking anybody.
00:04:49Yes, I'm sorry.
00:04:50There's a way we can get through this brush.
00:04:52Here's the spot, sir.
00:04:53All right, well, have a look on the other side.
00:04:55Yes, well, let me help you, sir.
00:04:57Here you go.
00:04:59What's the matter, fellas?
00:05:00You look frightened.
00:05:02Oh, but those voices startled me.
00:05:07Shall we go?
00:05:08Yes, now that we have an audience, the spell is broken.
00:05:11We seem to have interrupted a romantic moment.
00:05:14Hmm.
00:05:17You know, when I was courting my missus, we used to go horseback riding.
00:05:20Did you?
00:05:21Yeah.
00:05:22Then we got married, and she refused to go near a horse from that moment on.
00:05:25She only pretended to like riding until she got me well hooked.
00:05:29When you're quite finished mooning about your courting days,
00:05:31perhaps we can get on with the business in hand.
00:05:33Yes, I'm sorry, Inspector.
00:05:34Come on.
00:05:38You look very thoughtful.
00:05:41Well, I have many things on my mind.
00:05:43Well, after all, I'm to be a bride next week.
00:05:47That's not what's troubling you.
00:05:49Are you upset because of what the constables were saying?
00:05:53Frankly, I am.
00:05:54It's not a very comfortable feeling to know that such weird things are taking place
00:05:58in a park so close to where one lives.
00:06:01But certainly you don't believe those newspaper stories about werewolves.
00:06:05That's just sensational trash, the sort of thing one reads in Penny Dreadfuls.
00:06:10If one reads Penny Dreadfuls.
00:06:12You don't read them, do you?
00:06:13Oh, of course not.
00:06:15It's just that I, well, I guess I'm on edge because, well, there's no man in our house.
00:06:21Your worries will be over next week when you move into my diggings.
00:06:25In the meantime, I don't think you'll be roaming the park at night.
00:06:28Not if I can help it.
00:06:52I don't think you'll be roaming the park.
00:07:04Oh, Hannah.
00:07:05Yes, Miss Carroll.
00:07:07Will you do something for me while you're doing the marketing?
00:07:09Of course, Miss.
00:07:10Is it that you want me to fetch something?
00:07:12No, I want you to deliver something.
00:07:15Please leave this at the chemist on the corner near the greengrocer.
00:07:18Just say that someone will call for it this afternoon.
00:07:21Will you do that?
00:07:22Oh, so it's Cupid I'm playing this fine morning.
00:07:26Yes.
00:07:26And the note is very important.
00:07:29Oh, they always are at your age.
00:07:32Don't fret.
00:07:33I see that it's delivered quickly.
00:07:34Thank you very much, Hannah.
00:07:37Hannah.
00:07:38Yes, Mrs. Blanchard.
00:07:40Is there something else you've thought of for me to bring from the market?
00:07:43No.
00:07:43I'll take that note Carroll handed to you.
00:07:46Note?
00:07:47What note?
00:07:48Quickly.
00:07:48I saw you put it in your basket.
00:07:50But, Mother, it's only a...
00:07:51I'll see what it is.
00:07:53Give it to me before I lose patience and discharge you.
00:07:58I'm sorry, Miss Carroll.
00:07:59Run along and do your marketing.
00:08:06I thought so.
00:08:08Mother, you've no right to...
00:08:09To keep you from making a fool of yourself over a worthless fellow like Dwight Severin?
00:08:13Is that what you were about to say?
00:08:14I love Dwight.
00:08:16And he's not worthless.
00:08:17He's fine and sweet and considerate.
00:08:19And hasn't a penny to his name.
00:08:22Come in the house, Carroll.
00:08:23I want to talk to you.
00:08:49Sit down.
00:08:54I'm certain you imagine yourself madly in love with a starving young artist of yours.
00:08:59But have you given any thought to what happens to us the moment Phyllis marries Barry Landfield?
00:09:04I imagine things will go on pretty much the same.
00:09:08Of course, we'll miss her.
00:09:10It's not as simple as that, Carroll.
00:09:13That's why I'm delving into the past now.
00:09:15To tell you of certain things I probably should have explained to you long ago.
00:09:20The reason I haven't told you is...
00:09:23that your happiness has always been uppermost in my mind.
00:09:27First, I think you should know...
00:09:30You're not Phyllis's cousin.
00:09:32You're not related to her in any way.
00:09:35I don't understand.
00:09:37You're her aunt and...
00:09:39No.
00:09:40I'm not related to her either.
00:09:43I'm only the woman...
00:09:45who might have married Reginald Allenby.
00:09:48Reginald Allenby?
00:09:49Phyllis' father?
00:09:51Yes.
00:09:54This is the note he sent me...
00:09:56the day before I married your father.
00:09:59Read it.
00:10:04My own darling...
00:10:05I know that nothing I can say will change your mind.
00:10:09I wish you every happiness...
00:10:11even though my heart tells me I shall never quite get over loving you.
00:10:15Reggie.
00:10:16Of course he did get over it.
00:10:18Disappointed suitors generally do.
00:10:21He married Phyllis's mother...
00:10:23just one year after I married your father.
00:10:26A man as penniless as the precious young man you wish to marry.
00:10:30And when your father died...
00:10:32leaving me with a small child...
00:10:33and practically no money...
00:10:35I had to fend for myself.
00:10:37That's how I happened to become the...
00:10:39housekeeper...
00:10:40of the Allenby's London house.
00:10:44This house.
00:10:47This house isn't ours.
00:10:49No, it belongs to the Allenby estate.
00:10:52Meaning Phyllis...
00:10:53because she's the only heir.
00:10:56Mary!
00:10:59Stop it! Go back!
00:11:00Mary!
00:11:01Mary!
00:11:03Stop it! Go away!
00:11:06Mary!
00:11:13I'm here, Ralph.
00:11:15You know, I really can't understand it.
00:11:17He's so gentle around everyone but Phyllis.
00:11:19It was anything but gentle a moment ago.
00:11:21Why don't you get rid of them, Mrs. Winthrop?
00:11:23I bought them for protection.
00:11:25You know what's been going on in the park.
00:11:26Perhaps if Phyllis tried to make friends with them.
00:11:29Talk to him, Phyllis.
00:11:30Let him know you're not afraid of him.
00:11:31There might be something in what she says, darling.
00:11:34Try petting him. See what happens.
00:11:43No, no. Take him away, please.
00:11:46Very well, my dear.
00:11:48Come along. I'll lock him in the garden.
00:11:56I'm sorry I'm such a coward, Barry.
00:11:58I don't blame you for being afraid the way he was carrying on.
00:12:18I'm sorry I'm such a coward, Barry.
00:12:19I'm sorry.
00:12:29I don't give up, Barry.
00:12:33I'm sorry, Barry.
00:12:35No, no, no.
00:12:42But I'm sorry.
00:12:42Come on, Barry.
00:12:44I'm sorry.
00:12:48How are they?
00:13:00Oh! Oh, Aunt Martha, you startled me. I'm sorry, Phyllis. I heard you staring about, and I thought I'd just
00:13:11look in and say good night. What in the world is that?
00:13:15It's a lantern. But why did you hang it out there? I thought it might keep the dogs from making
00:13:23such a racket. They've been at it all evening.
00:13:25Come now, my dear. You can tell me the truth. What do you mean? I'm familiar with that old Scottish
00:13:30superstition of hanging out a lighted lantern when dogs howl to drive away the evil spirits.
00:13:35But you're far too intelligent to believe in anything so silly. Am I? I wonder. Certainly you are. Oh, leave
00:13:43it there. But why?
00:13:44Why? Because I want it there. Isn't that reason enough? Just as you say, dear. Wait. Aunt Martha, I'm sorry.
00:13:55Just that I'm all on edge. Those dogs and their constant howling are driving me frantic. And the things that
00:14:03have been happening in the park.
00:14:05You poor child. You really are upset, aren't you? You mustn't let yourself go to pieces like this. Now get
00:14:13into bed.
00:14:15I'll fetch you some warm milk from downstairs. You'll sleep so soundly you won't even hear the dogs. Into bed
00:14:23with you.
00:14:28I'll only be a minute.
00:14:55I'll immerse you.
00:15:12You'll be unfortunate.
00:15:12I'll take it.
00:15:14I'll try to see you as I have an airman.
00:15:14I'm being notButton Espoened to come back.
00:15:15I can't stop you.
00:15:17I'm achlossed to come ready.
00:15:20No, don't you?
00:15:23I'll not choose the way of the ë‚´ê°€.
00:15:23I'm a fan.
00:15:23Let's go.
00:15:31Carol.
00:15:37Where are you going?
00:15:39Answer my question.
00:15:41I was going out for a breath of air.
00:15:43It was stuffy in my room.
00:15:45Why do you lie to me?
00:15:47You were stealing out of the house to meet Dwight Severin.
00:15:50Go to your room.
00:15:51At once.
00:16:34Here you are, darling. Drink it.
00:16:37And let's forget all about your nerves being on edge.
00:16:39Oh, thank you, Aunt Martha. That's very sweet of you.
00:16:42Oh, thank you.
00:17:12It's a dog.
00:17:13Sounds like a child here. Come on.
00:17:14Come on.
00:17:18Come on.
00:17:29Oh, my God.
00:18:00Blood.
00:18:20Blood.
00:18:26Good morning.

00:26:35Come, come, come, come.
00:26:37Come, come, come, come.
00:26:43Come, come, come, come.
00:26:47Come, come, come, come, come.
00:26:53Come, come, come, come.
00:26:53Good evening.
00:26:54Are you the lady of the house?
00:26:55I'm a lady.
00:26:56But I only work here.
00:26:58Who are you?
00:26:59My name is Latham, Criminal Investigation Department, Scotland Yard.
00:27:03Oh, come in.
00:27:10I'll call Mrs. Winthrop right away.
00:27:12Well, don't bother.
00:27:13You can give me the information I want.
00:27:15How many people live in this house?
00:27:17Four.
00:27:17Mrs. Winthrop, her daughter, her niece, and myself.
00:27:20No men?
00:27:22Not a man.
00:27:24Are there any dogs about the place?
00:27:26Yes, indeed.
00:27:27And vicious beasts they are.
00:27:28Every night they keep me awake without barking and howling.
00:27:31You'd be doing me a great favor if you take them away.
00:27:33That's what you'd be doing.
00:27:34Yes.
00:27:37It's a gentleman from Scotland Yard asking about the dogs.
00:27:40Latham is the name, ma'am.
00:27:41How do you do?
00:27:42I'm Mrs. Winthrop.
00:27:43That will be all, Hannah.
00:27:46I presume all dogs are under suspicion in view of the strange happenings in the park.
00:27:51If you wish me to get rid of them, I'll...
00:27:52Oh, I had nothing like that in mind, Mrs. Winthrop.
00:27:55I imagine that you keep them for protection.
00:27:57I can't say that I blame you with no men about the place.
00:28:00I don't suppose you allow the dogs to roam at large?
00:28:03Certainly not.
00:28:04They're locked in the garden most of the time.
00:28:06Especially at night.
00:28:08Hmm.
00:28:09Um, have you noticed any suspicious characters about the place?
00:28:13No, I haven't.
00:28:15Tell me, have the police any clue as to who murdered that boy in the park?
00:28:19Well, not exactly a clue, as you might say.
00:28:21Of course, we've narrowed it down to where we feel certain that it's an animal from this neighborhood.
00:28:26Or a person.
00:28:28A person?
00:28:29Uh, my own theory, Mrs. Winthrop, is that it's a weird...
00:28:35That a madman or a woman is responsible.
00:28:38And that's why I'm checking all the houses in this neighborhood.
00:28:41So if you do see any suspicious characters, notify the police at once, won't you?
00:28:46I certainly will.
00:28:47Yeah.
00:28:48Well, thank you very much, ma'am.
00:28:49Good night.
00:28:49Good night.
00:29:09Good night.
00:29:21OK.
00:29:50It can't be.
00:30:08Come in.
00:30:13Do you mind?
00:30:15Of course not.
00:30:16I'm glad you're still up.
00:30:17I want to talk to you.
00:30:19What are you doing with the cotton?
00:30:21Oh, I...
00:30:22I'm stuffing my ears so I won't hear those awful dogs.
00:30:27Before you shut yourself off from the world entirely,
00:30:30do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
00:30:32Not at all.
00:30:34Did you ever notice...
00:30:37what nice, broad shoulders I have?
00:30:40What do you mean?
00:30:42We've been confiding in each other for years.
00:30:44Isn't there something you'd like to tell me?
00:30:46No.
00:30:47Why do you ask?
00:30:50I went riding with Barry this afternoon.
00:30:52We talked about you most of the time.
00:30:55We both feel that the thing that's upsetting you is more sinister than howling dogs.
00:30:59If you tell me what it is, perhaps I can help.
00:31:02Thanks.
00:31:03But there's nothing you can do.
00:31:07There's nothing anybody can do.
00:31:10All right.
00:31:12But sometimes it's bad to keep things to oneself.
00:31:15I'm keeping nothing from you, Carol.
00:31:17It's just that I'd like to be left alone, that's all.
00:31:20Forget that I mentioned it.
00:31:22I won't bring it up again.
00:31:24I'm sorry, Carol.
00:31:25I didn't mean to be nasty.
00:31:27Please forgive me.
00:31:29There's nothing to forgive.
00:31:31But if you ever do want to unload your troubles, remember what I said about these broad shoulders of mine.
00:31:38And Barry has a nice set of shoulders, too.
00:31:57What did Carol want?
00:31:59She just dropped in to say goodnight.
00:32:01I thought perhaps she brought you a message from Barry.
00:32:04She went riding with him this afternoon.
00:32:06Yes.
00:32:07I know.
00:32:08I brought the coffee you asked for.
00:32:10But I think you're making a mistake drinking it this time of night.
00:32:13You won't sleep a wink.
00:32:15That's exactly why I'm having it.
00:32:16I don't intend to sleep.
00:32:18I'm going to fight this thing.
00:32:20I'm going to make sure I don't leave the house tonight.
00:32:23Aren't you being a little foolish?
00:32:24Rest will do you more good than anything else.
00:32:27It's no use, Aunt Martha.
00:32:29My mind's made up.
00:32:31As you wish.
00:32:32It's no use.
00:32:36He doesn't have a drink.
00:32:42It's never a drink.
00:32:43Okay.
00:32:54All right.
00:32:58It's no speech.
00:32:59I'm sorry I'm sorry.
00:33:00I'm sorry to be Heilman, Jane.
00:33:01I'm sorry, Jane.
00:33:01I'm sorry to be here tonight.
00:33:06Let's go.
00:33:36Good evening, Constable.
00:33:37Good evening, sir.
00:33:38Yes, well, now, these are your reinforcements.
00:33:40Inspector Pierce wants the park patrol by officers traveling in pairs until further notice.
00:33:45Very good, sir.
00:33:46Now, you men pair off with the regular patrolmen.
00:33:49They'll show you the ropes.
00:33:54I say, Constable, what's your theory about these strange goings-on?
00:33:58Well, there are quite a few stray dogs roaming the parks these nights.
00:34:04I'm sure that one of the bolder ones has been attacking the people.
00:34:07Oh, well, that's the inspector's theory, too.
00:34:10Has it ever occurred to you that it might be a werewolf?
00:34:14You're pulling my leg, aren't you?
00:34:17There are no such things.
00:34:19Well, the inspector thinks that, too.
00:34:22Well, good night.
00:34:23Good night, sir.
00:35:01Well, now, Constable, anything new?
00:35:03No, sir.
00:35:04Everything's comparatively quiet.
00:35:06With the exception of a few dogs, Ari.
00:35:09At the rate we're rounding them up, there'll be no dogs to owl tomorrow night.
00:35:13I suppose you're still of the opinion that when the park is cleared of the dogs, the attacks will stop.
00:35:18Oh, certainly, sir, aren't you?
00:35:21I'm not so sure.
00:35:23Well, then, see you later.
00:35:28Well, there's a balmy one.
00:35:31He's an idea there's a werewolf at the bottom of all this.
00:35:35A balmy's what I calls it, too.
00:35:37Come here.
00:35:42Come here.
00:35:43Come here.
00:36:20Come here.
00:36:38Come here.
00:36:41I got you!
00:36:59Got you!
00:37:02Got you!
00:37:06What happened, sir?
00:37:08She's done me in!
00:37:09She, sir, the wolf won't give a...
00:37:17We'd better get him to a hospital.
00:37:20I'm afraid it's a bit late for that.
00:37:23He's a goner.
00:38:07Martha, how did you get in here?
00:38:09I'm sorry.
00:38:09Through the door, of course.
00:38:11But I had it locked.
00:38:13It wasn't locked, Phyllis.
00:38:23It's happened again.
00:38:25What have I done?
00:38:29I don't know.
00:38:32The new white dress is torn and muddy.
00:38:40And your shoes.
00:38:45Compose yourself.
00:38:52Is that you, Carol?
00:38:54Yes, Mother. May I come in?
00:38:56Certainly, dear.
00:39:01Good morning, Phyllis.
00:39:03Good morning, Carol.
00:39:04Barry's downstairs.
00:39:05He suggested we go riding with him.
00:39:07Will you tell him I'm not up to it this morning?
00:39:10Of course.
00:39:11But won't you see him for just a few moments?
00:39:13He's terribly worried about you.
00:39:16No.
00:39:16I can't see him.
00:39:18She had a very restless night.
00:39:20She's in no condition to have visitors.
00:39:22That's not going to be much consolation for Barry.
00:39:26Any message you'd like me to give him?
00:39:28No.
00:39:29No message.
00:39:34By the way, have you heard the news?
00:39:36What news?
00:39:37A Scotland Yard man was murdered in the park last night.
00:39:40By a mad woman who made a noise like an animal.
00:39:43The morning paper is full of it.
00:39:47I murdered him.
00:39:49Hush, child.
00:39:49You did nothing of the kind.
00:39:50I know I did.
00:39:52I'm going to a doctor.
00:39:53I can't stand this any longer.
00:39:55You will do nothing of the sort.
00:39:56I won't permit it.
00:39:56Why, if you told your story to a doctor, he'd have you committed to an asylum.
00:40:01You don't want that, do you?
00:40:03No.
00:40:06No.
00:40:15Look.
00:40:17That must be the place where the Scotland Yard man was murdered last night.
00:40:21I suppose so.
00:40:24You know, if I could only talk to Phyllis, I'm sure that I could get her to tell me what's
00:40:28wrong.
00:40:29Then why don't you?
00:40:30How can I?
00:40:31Your mother insists she's too ill to see me.
00:40:34Haven't you ever overruled a woman?
00:40:55Good morning, Barry.
00:40:56Good morning, Mrs. Winthrop.
00:40:57Won't you come in?
00:41:04Carol's in the garden, if you'd like to see her.
00:41:06I didn't come to see Carol.
00:41:07I'm going to take Phyllis for a drive in the country.
00:41:09You must be joking.
00:41:11She's much too ill to leave the house.
00:41:13Suppose we let her be the judge of that, Mrs. Winthrop.
00:41:16See here, you can't go upstairs.
00:41:18Why not?
00:41:19Phyllis is going to be my wife.
00:41:20I insist on seeing her.
00:41:22I'm sure she's going to be my wife.
00:41:22She'll refuse to go with you.
00:41:31Cheer up, Soberside.
00:41:34After all, this is better than moping in bed at home.
00:41:39Isn't it?
00:41:40Yes, I suppose it is.
00:41:51You don't know what a relief it is to see you perking up.
00:41:54It's good for you to get away from that house.
00:41:58I wonder why your Aunt Martha was so insistent I couldn't see you.
00:42:01Aunt Martha was acting for my own good.
00:42:03To protect me.
00:42:05To protect you from what?
00:42:10Look, darling.
00:42:12I know something's been bothering you.
00:42:14I want you to tell me what it is.
00:42:17It isn't anything so serious.
00:42:19We can't overcome it together.
00:42:21After all, we are going to be married.
00:42:24We can't be married, Barry.
00:42:26Ever.
00:42:28Why not?
00:42:30I can't tell you that.
00:42:33It's just that it wouldn't be fair to you.
00:42:36I think I understand.
00:42:38You're not going to let me in for the curse of the Allenby's
00:42:41and all that sort of thing.
00:42:42Is that it?
00:42:43How did you know?
00:42:44Carol mentioned your being so frightened of howling dogs here of late
00:42:47and I merely added up the facts.
00:42:49Please, let's not talk about it anymore.
00:42:52We've got to talk about it, Phyllis.
00:42:53You can't let yourself go to pieces over a thing like that.
00:42:57I'm sure you place no stock in that silly legend
00:43:00about your family being cursed by the wolves.
00:43:03I'm not sure.
00:43:05I know you scoff at the Allenby curse, but ever since my parents were killed,
00:43:11I've had the strangest dreams.
00:43:14Dreams in which it seemed I lived a long time ago.
00:43:18I took part in pagan rites.
00:43:21I assumed the form of a wolf.
00:43:24I even hunted with the wolves.
00:43:26Those dreams are easily explained.
00:43:29Someone probably told you weird stories about the Allenby curse when you were a child.
00:43:34Certainly you don't believe in werewolves, do you?
00:43:37Many people do.
00:43:38There was an ancient tribe, the Herpony, which worshiped wolves.
00:43:42But that was centuries ago.
00:43:44Yes.
00:43:45But even today in Scotland, on nights when the dogs howl,
00:43:48people hang out lighted lanterns to ward off evil spirits.
00:43:51You've evidently been reading up on the subject, haven't you?
00:43:54Yes, I have.
00:43:56Plato and Pythagoras on the transmigration of souls, I suppose.
00:44:01Yes.
00:44:01Don't tell me you've overlooked Shakespeare.
00:44:05That's a merchant of Venice, wasn't it?
00:44:08Thou almost makes me waver in my faith,
00:44:12to hold opinion with Pythagoras,
00:44:15that souls of animals infuse themselves into the trunks of men.
00:44:19Thy courage spirit, governed by a wolf,
00:44:22who hanged for human slaughter,
00:44:25even from the gallows did his fell soul fleet,
00:44:27and whilst thou lest in thy unhallowed dam,
00:44:30infused itself in thee.
00:44:32For thy desires are wolfish, bloody, starved and ravenous.
00:44:37Mary, don't stop it.
00:44:39Oh, darling.
00:44:41I'm sorry.
00:44:42I didn't realize it would get you like this.
00:44:46I'm so terribly frightened.
00:44:49Hold me tight, awfully tight.
00:44:56I'm taking personal charge tonight. These are my orders.
00:44:59You are to arrest any person, man or woman,
00:45:02who cannot give a satisfactory reason for being in the park.
00:45:05Furthermore, if anyone tries to avoid questioning by running away,
00:45:09you are to shoot after a single command to halt.
00:45:13You've been provided with firearms for this emergency.
00:45:16I'll start patrolling at once.
00:45:18All right, men. To your posts.
00:45:23I think I'll take a turn in the park myself, constable.
00:45:25Very good, sir. All right.
00:46:02I think I'll talk about that.
00:46:03You have to guard my life.
00:46:03All right, men.
00:46:06You have to guard them all.
00:46:06All the stars.
00:46:09All right, boys.
00:46:09That's right.
00:46:09Are you sure you're looking for this,
00:46:09all right?
00:46:09All right.
00:46:17You are a journalist.
00:46:17All right, boys.
00:46:17All right, boys.
00:46:19All right, boys.
00:46:20Let's go.
00:47:05Good evening.
00:47:06Hold on, sir.
00:47:07What are you doing in the park at this hour?
00:47:10Frankly, I'm doing a little private investigating.
00:47:12Planning to capture the she-wolf single-handed, I presume?
00:47:16Something like that.
00:47:17These weird stories in the newspapers fascinate me.
00:47:19Yeah, I'll have to trouble you for your name.
00:47:22My name is Barry Landfield.
00:47:24Your occupation?
00:47:25I'm a barrister in partnership with my father.
00:47:28Not Sir Sidney, Landfield.
00:47:30Yes.
00:47:31Any credentials to prove it?
00:47:33Certainly.
00:47:36Very nice.
00:47:38However...
00:47:39...
00:48:26Sir, what's happened, sir?
00:48:30I was sitting on that bench when this woman, or whatever it was, howled and grabbed me by the throat.
00:48:38There! There she is now.
00:48:40After her, men! After her!
00:48:44Did you get a look at her face?
00:48:46No, I was much too busy protecting myself. She seemed terribly strong for a woman.
00:48:53Dwight, what happened?
00:48:55I was waiting for you to show up, and this wolf woman evidently decided to make me your next victim.
00:49:01You poor darling. Are you badly hurt?
00:49:03Pretty badly messed up, but nothing serious.
00:49:07Barry!
00:49:08Hello, Carol.
00:49:09What are you doing here?
00:49:10I might ask you the same question.
00:49:13Dwight just answered that. I came here to meet him.
00:49:17Dwight, this is Barry Landfield. Barry, Dwight Severin.
00:49:20How do you do it?
00:49:21How long?
00:49:22Yeah, just to make things cozy, I'm Constable Ernie Ogbs.
00:49:26Now that we all know each other, suppose we go to Park Patrol headquarters and get acquainted with the inspector.
00:49:32He might have a few questions to ask, too. Now, come on now.
00:49:58Good evening, Barry.
00:50:00Good evening.
00:50:00Come in.
00:50:03I'll run upstairs and see if Phyllis is able to see you.
00:50:05Later.
00:50:07First, I'd like to ask you some questions.
00:50:09My, you sound serious.
00:50:11I am.
00:50:13Shall we go into the library?
00:50:14Certainly.
00:50:20You may cross-examine me, Barrister, but do you mind if I sit down while you're doing it?
00:50:24I think much better when I'm sitting down.
00:50:27What I'm going to ask you will require a bit of thinking.
00:50:30Quick thinking.
00:50:35Did you know that I saw you leave the house last night and followed you to the park?
00:50:39So that's how you happened to be there when I met Dwight?
00:50:42Yes.
00:50:42And that's also how I happened to discover that you were the she-wolf.
00:50:46Barry, you must be joking.
00:50:48No, I'm quite serious.
00:50:50You can't possibly be serious, Barry.
00:50:53But I am.
00:50:54Of course, you may not recall everything you did.
00:50:58Insane people seldom do when under stress.
00:51:00I'm perfectly sane, and I was under no stress.
00:51:03I went to the park for only one reason, to meet Dwight Severin.
00:51:07I've been meeting him on an average of three nights a week for the past two months.
00:51:10You're certain you went directly to the meeting place?
00:51:13I'm certain.
00:51:14Do you mind if I ask a question?
00:51:17Go ahead.
00:51:19How did you happen to see me when I left the house last night?
00:51:21I was worried about Phyllis.
00:51:23I decided to watch the house all night.
00:51:26Something she said when we were riding yesterday made me think that...
00:51:29You suspect that she might be the she-wolf, don't you?
00:51:33I did.
00:51:36Until I saw you steal out of the house.
00:51:39Now I don't know what to think.
00:51:41Good evening, Barry.
00:51:42Good evening, Mrs. Winthrop.
00:51:44Why didn't you let me know Barry was calling, Carol?
00:51:46I would have made you a cup of chocolate.
00:51:48I'll make it now.
00:51:49Please don't bother, Mrs. Winthrop.
00:51:50I just dropped by hoping I might see Phyllis.
00:51:54I'm afraid you can't, Barry.
00:51:56She's been terribly upset since you took her riding yesterday afternoon.
00:51:59I don't know why it is.
00:52:01But you seem to be a disturbing influence.
00:52:04Perhaps you'll feel better in the morning.
00:52:06I'll drop around again then.
00:52:08Good night.
00:52:08Good night.
00:52:14You little fool.
00:52:16I heard you say you've been meeting Dwight Severin three times a week.
00:52:21All right, Mother.
00:52:22You know now.
00:52:23I've been seeing Dwight, and I'm going to continue to see him.
00:52:26And please don't lecture me again on why I should marry Barry Landfield.
00:52:29In fact, I'll be very happy when he and Phyllis are married.
00:52:32It will stop you from making him a constant topic of conversation.
00:52:37Barry will never marry Phyllis.
00:52:39She's insane.
00:52:40It will be a time for the night to remain.
00:52:43No way!
00:52:54I know it's fine!
00:53:02I know I can't wait!
00:53:02I know I can't wait for the night to die today.
00:53:09But please, let me go in again.
00:53:34Phyllis, may I come in, Carol? I must talk to you.
00:53:37Surely do come in.
00:53:52Well, I see you've decided to make a bold front of it,
00:53:55instead of sneaking out to meet your starving artist.
00:53:57I'm not going to meet Dwight, Mother. I'm going to get the police.
00:54:01The police? But why?
00:54:04Phyllis has just told me the whole story.
00:54:06What are you talking about?
00:54:08Her belief that she's a werewolf. She showed me all the evidence, too.
00:54:12Well, at least you know now that I was speaking the truth when I said she's insane.
00:54:15I don't believe she is insane. I think she's the victim of a terrible hoax.
00:54:20That's why I'm going to ask the police to investigate.
00:54:23That's ridiculous. If you call in the police, Phyllis will be placed in an asylum.
00:54:28I'm calling them.
00:54:29I'm calling them at her request, Mother.
00:54:30I know we've got to see you tonight.
00:54:32That's a good idea.
00:54:35I've got to see her.
00:54:35Let's go.
00:54:43That's it, Mother.
00:55:08Oh, my God.
00:55:49I brought you a glass of warm milk.
00:55:52I don't believe I'll have any, Aunt Martha.
00:55:54You must drink it.
00:55:55It'll quiet your nerves.
00:55:56You'll want to be completely at ease when you tell your story to the police.
00:56:01You know about Carol calling the police?
00:56:04Certainly, my dear.
00:56:05And I'm glad you've decided to bring everything out into the open.
00:56:08To clear up this terrible thing, whatever it is.
00:56:11It's been quite a strain on me, too.
00:56:14Drink it, Phyllis.
00:56:16The police will ask you hundreds of questions.
00:56:32Do you think they'll take me away tonight?
00:56:35Probably not.
00:56:36Perhaps you won't even have to go to an asylum.
00:56:38Maybe we can arrange to have you taken care of in a private institution until you're cured.
00:56:44Take some more milk, Phyllis.
00:56:45Drink it all.
00:56:59Do you think I can be cured?
00:57:01Of course.
00:57:03Doctors accomplish wonders with the human mind.
00:57:06Finish it, dear.
00:57:07I'll take the glass.
00:57:14I'll take the glass.
00:57:26How do you feel?
00:57:33Answer me.
00:57:34How do you feel?
00:57:36I feel terribly sleepy.
00:57:40As if I'd been drugged.
00:57:42You're right.
00:57:44I drugged you.
00:57:46So I wouldn't hear the dogs?
00:57:48No, Phyllis.
00:57:52I'm going to kill you.
00:57:56Kill me?
00:57:58Yes.
00:58:00Yes.
00:58:02You see, if the police came while you were still alive,
00:58:05they would investigate the strange story you would tell them.
00:58:08They would call in a doctor.
00:58:10He would find that you were perfectly sane.
00:58:15So I'm going to kill you.
00:58:18But why?
00:58:21Because I planned all this to get you out of the way.
00:58:24When I discovered you've still believed in the curse of the Allenby's,
00:58:29I decided to drive you insane.
00:58:34It would mean much to me.
00:58:36And to Carol.
00:58:38For me, it would mean I could stay on.
00:58:40Here, in this house I love.
00:58:42That I managed for so many years.
00:58:45For Carol,
00:58:46it would mean that she could marry a man not beneath a station.
00:58:49A man like Barry Landfield, who...
00:58:53So I began by killing the little boy in the park.
00:58:56Glad you'd have believed you did it.
00:58:59Oh, no.
00:59:02Later, I killed that meddling fool from Scotland Yard
00:59:05because he was getting too close to the truth.
00:59:10And my plan will still succeed, Billis.
00:59:15Although it's changed slightly.
00:59:23And the police come.
00:59:25I shall tell them of your strange actions lately.
00:59:28Barry and Carol will bear me out.
00:59:31They were called at suicide, my dear.
00:59:35Through fear of insanity.
00:59:44Hannah!
00:59:48I heard you.
00:59:50Now I know what you've been doing with that drug
00:59:52you kept hid in my kitchen cupboard.
00:59:54Be quiet.
00:59:55No!
00:59:56I'm going for the police.
01:00:21What's happened here?
01:00:24What's happened here?
01:00:27mother she's a murderer it's the she-wolf herself
01:00:33phyllis
01:00:36phyllis are you all right
01:00:40it's barry darling
01:00:45she's going to kill me
01:00:48she killed the others
