00:016.
00:08Here you can see, there you can see, here you can see.
00:16There he's got the toes and the kids, he heard the things, he made the glowing call.
00:28Look, he made the tiny wings.
00:58Ah, there she is, Sarah.
01:03Well, now, don't keep her waiting. And enjoy your week off. You've earned it.
01:06Thanks, Harry. And thanks for the cottage.
01:07You think nothing other than this has been a very successful trip. You're a good lawyer.
01:11So are you. See ya.
01:15Taxi!
01:29It's good to have you back. You make a wonderful chef.
01:32Certainly. Where to, sir?
01:35Back to the flat for a quick change of clothes.
01:38Straight down to the West Country in Harry's Cottage.
01:39Should be there by supper time.
01:46You know, we'll never make it to the cottage by supper time. We should have left earlier.
01:51Well...
01:52Doesn't seem quite so urgent, though, does it?
01:55You're making me blush.
01:56You have nothing to be modest about, Mrs. Martin.
02:00Well, only another hour.
02:03Couldn't Harry have bought a cottage closer to civilization?
02:06Don't be so ungrateful.
02:08Anyway, for a honeymoon, even a delayed one like this, you need civilization.
02:13Actually, it's quite near to the village, I believe.
02:17Beautiful wild garden.
02:19Harry says it even has its very own magpie.
02:21It's quite tame.
02:23When you get this partnership, Tom, will you be able to be with me more?
02:29I hope so.
02:36Sorry.
02:37What?
02:37I've taken my foot off the gas pedal, but we're still accelerating.
02:45Damn!
02:46What's wrong?
02:46It's bloody jammed!
03:05I knew something like this was going to happen.
03:06I'm not sure.
03:07I'm not sure how many.
03:22Cross your arms over your face.
03:42It's close!
04:03You all right?
04:05Come on, let's get out.
04:17Oh, Tom, for goodness sake.
04:19For God's sake.
04:20You didn't believe in God.
04:25Oh, well, here we are in the middle of nowhere.
04:31I have to thumb a lift.
04:33How many cars have you seen in the past hour?
04:35Phone.
04:36Phone for help.
04:37A phone?
04:37Where a phone?
04:48You know, it's really peaceful here.
04:53I think part of me kind of expected to be here.
04:59Wind up here.
05:05Come on.
05:06Come on.
05:17We could always sleep under the stars like the raggle-taggle gypsy.
05:25Look, there's a gate.
05:29It doesn't look very promising.
05:30It's worth a look.
05:35What?
05:36It's just a path through the woods.
05:37I think we should stick to the road.
05:48Well, now, what have we here?
06:05Coat.
06:06Hmm.
06:07Hasn't it gone quiet?
06:09Listen.
06:10I can hear children.
06:11Children?
06:12Listen.
06:14Yes.
06:15Come on.
06:17I can't hear any children now.
06:19Maybe we imagined it.
06:21Do you think they've got a phone?
06:22I don't even know if anyone lives here.
06:26This must be the back of the house.
06:28Well, the proper way in must be round the other side.
06:32There's probably a main road a few yards away.
06:34And hopefully a garage.
06:38Good evening.
06:39Our car's broken down, and I wondered if we could...
06:41Use the telephone.
06:43Of course.
06:44Of course.
06:45Come in, my dears.
06:46Come in.
06:49My goodness.
06:50What a nuisance for you.
06:52Is there a road on the other side of the house?
06:54A road, dear?
06:55Yes.
06:56Well, I mean, I'm sure we must have come along around.
06:58Bless you, dear.
06:59There's no other road round these parts.
07:01Come along.
07:02Follow me.
07:03There's not a garage nearby.
07:06The nearest town is Applegrove.
07:08That's 23 miles away.
07:10Still, they probably have an emergency service.
07:12Well, there's the phone, and you're welcome to use it.
07:14You do look chilled, dear.
07:15Why don't you come with me into the parlour?
07:17I'll make you a nice cup of tea, of cocoa.
07:19Perhaps you prefer a glass of red wine.
07:34Come in.
07:35My name is Mrs. Ardoy.
07:38My name's Sarah.
07:40My husband's name's Tom.
07:41Tom Martin.
07:42I hope he's lucky with that phone.
07:44Sit down by the fire, dear.
07:46Dogs won't hurt you.
07:48Have a nice glass of wine.
07:53Oh, thank you.
08:00Mmm.
08:02It's delicious.
08:03We grow it ourselves.
08:05Make it here at the manor.
08:07From your own finds?
08:09Pinot Noir.
08:10Mr. Ardoy has the touch.
08:12It's difficult to grow in Britain, but Mr. Ardoy can grow anything.
08:17Green fingers.
08:19Oh, no, dear.
08:21Mr. Ardoy doesn't have green fingers.
08:25Well, what about car hire?
08:27Could you hire me a self-drive car?
08:29Tomorrow.
08:31No, I'm afraid that's too late.
08:33Okay.
08:34Thanks.
08:35Goodbye.
08:36Goodbye.
08:39Carrots, peas.
08:41Oh, and lovely fruit, my dear.
08:44The most beautiful red apples you've ever seen.
08:47We have our own clear spring, too.
08:50You must taste the water.
08:52So you're completely self-supporting?
08:54Oh, completely.
08:55Yes, yes, quite completely.
08:57I'm vegetarian.
08:59No, no, the children do like their little bit of meat.
09:04Oh, that's them, the little Arras.
09:09They must have heard you arrive.
09:12How many?
09:13Hmm?
09:15How many do you have?
09:17About eight.
09:19Eight little lovelies.
09:23Eight's a very large family for these days.
09:25Well, they're not all mine.
09:26Oh, some of them are fostered,
09:29and some are little stepchildren.
09:31Mr Ardoi's been married before.
09:33Oh, well, you know what it's like around these parts.
09:38You look famished.
09:40I'm going to make you some soup.
09:41Soup and an omelette.
09:43I do hope we didn't wake them up.
09:46Oh, they never go to bed at normal hours.
09:49Not our little ones.
10:05Yes, okay, I understand.
10:07Yes, thanks.
10:09Bye.
10:14Hello.
10:16Now, where have you come from?
10:24They're very shy.
10:25Not used to people.
10:27I haven't had much luck, I'm afraid.
10:29You wouldn't, dear.
10:30This is really the back of the yard.
10:44Come on in, I won't eat you.
10:50He's not having much luck, poor thing.
10:52So I've offered you could stay the night.
10:55Oh.
10:56Oh, that's really too much trouble.
10:58Oh, there's plenty of room, dear.
11:00That turret room's always prepared,
11:02because sometimes Mr Ardoi likes to bring a friend home.
11:04You know what they're like.
11:06Your husband's gone to get your things from the car.
11:08Well, if you're sure you don't mind.
11:10A real pleasure, and a privilege.
11:14Ah, Eloise, I know you're there.
11:16Come along in, and you others.
11:19Cheeky little pups.
11:28Hello.
11:29This is Eloise and Andras, Sophie and Irania.
11:35Children, this is Mrs Martin.
11:37How do you do?
11:47That's our brother, Tibor.
11:49Would you like to meet him?
11:52Yes, please.
11:53I'd love to.
11:54Well, I'll see to the supper.
11:59Have you had your supper, Eloise?
12:01Yes, it was soup.
12:03Mutton broth?
12:04Of course.
12:05Yes, it was soup.
12:27Yes, it was soup.
12:31Yes, it was soup.
12:34It's getting dark outside.
12:47What's that?
12:48What do you think?
13:31What do you think?
13:33I...
13:58The children are very shy, but they like you, dear.
14:02They're extraordinarily pretty.
14:44I don't know.
15:27I don't know.
15:59Bags, get her back! Run for the house!
16:00Fagossi, just run.
16:08Where did someone run?
16:09Hurry, hurry! Don't look back!
16:15This one has gone down!
16:17This has happened!
16:26There's something awful out there.
16:28There's something terrible in your woods.
16:29What has happened?
16:31Well, I was on my way back to the car,
16:33but just as I got near the room...
16:34Yes, what was it?
16:36Well, maybe I'm going mad.
16:39But there was this strange thing, this creature.
16:43I'd never seen anything like it.
16:45It looked half human.
16:48Half human, dear?
16:50Oh, surely not.
16:51I mean, either human or not human, don't you think?
16:54It was covered in grey, spiky fur.
16:57It's hind legs.
16:58But it's eyes.
17:00If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.
17:03What in God's name was it?
17:05A stag.
17:07A stag.
17:07No.
17:08No, not a stag.
17:10Deer abound in these woods, Mr. Martin,
17:12and wild sheep that have strayed over the years,
17:15but I think it was a stag.
17:17Give you a nasty turn in the twilight, too.
17:20It bit me.
17:22Or tried to.
17:24Snarling and snorting.
17:27I'll never forget that sound.
17:29And it's eyes.
17:31Yellow eyes.
17:32Well, it's their season.
17:35They get very protective over their territory.
17:37A drink, Mr. Martin.
17:39You look as though you could do with one.
17:47It was a stag, wasn't it?
17:53Yes.
17:56Mrs Ardoria has some lovely wine.
17:58They make it themselves, you know.
18:06Wonderful soup.
18:07It's mutton.
18:09Mutton broth.
18:14How do you feel?
18:16All right.
18:18Bit of a full, really.
18:37Where's your mum, Sophie?
18:42Sophie?
18:43That's my mum in a photo bath.
18:46Oh.
18:47She's pretty.
18:48She was pretty.
18:50Have you finished?
18:52Yes, thank you.
19:06My goodness, that looks good.
19:19It was a stag, wasn't it?
19:22Oh, no.
19:23I'm getting clumsy again.
19:28Oh, no.
19:34I'm getting clumsy again.
19:36A wolf.
19:38Really, Mr. Martin.
19:40We both heard it.
19:42A dog, perhaps.
19:43Dogs?
19:44A band in the forest.
19:45Well, no, not really.
19:47They're frightened of my beasts.
19:48But I'm sure that's what you heard.
19:51It's a terrible sound, dogs, Harry.
19:53I think I know a wolf when I hear it.
19:55I think anyone.
19:56That sound, it's primeval.
19:59Well, I think you'll be quite safe and comfortable in here.
20:03The bathroom is adjoining.
20:05Fresh towels.
20:08Lovely soft pillows.
20:10It's a nice big bed.
20:12It was our marriage bed, Mr. Ardoy and me.
20:15But I don't really see the need for it now.
20:17Not at my age.
20:18Well, it really is very kind of me.
20:21Yes.
20:21And it was a lovely supper.
20:23Beautiful kids.
20:25Well, good night.
20:30Oh, there was just one other thing.
20:32Silly, really.
20:33But I wonder if you'd mind staying here in this room until morning.
20:39Any special reason?
20:40The children, really.
20:42They tend to roam about a bit in the night.
20:44And, well, I wouldn't want you to give them a scare.
20:47I'm sure you understand.
20:50Sleep well.
20:56Give them a scare.
21:02Oh, Tom, what have we landed ourselves in?
21:04Maybe it's some sort of loony bin.
21:08Good food.
21:11But that was a wolf.
21:13Oh, come on.
21:15He probably was a dog.
21:17You heard it.
21:19Yes.
21:23Well, we've had a long day and...
21:28That car thing upset us and...
21:32Well, you can hystericalise yourself into anything.
21:36Let's just have a bath.
21:53I've brought these night things for you.
21:56How did you get these?
21:58Tibor and the other children went down to the car to fetch them.
22:01Surely you don't let them go out to the woods alone.
22:04Bless you, dear.
22:06There's nothing in them woods that my children need be afraid of.
22:10Well, thank you.
22:13Look, I know it's none of our business, but...
22:16Do they ever sleep?
22:17Certainly they sleep.
22:19Why, sometimes it's the devil himself couldn't wake them up.
22:23But tonight's different.
22:24It's a special night.
22:25Special?
22:26Why?
22:29We are of Hungarian extraction, us ardoys,
22:33and we celebrate festivals that are different from the English ones.
22:37Tonight's a special night in the region that we come from.
22:41Sort of, like what?
22:43Christmas-y?
22:45Yes, Mr. Martin.
22:47Something like that.
22:50Well, good night to you.
22:57That was a funny thing the old bag said before.
23:02Stay in your room, in case we scare the kids.
23:08I mean, they're not frightened to roam about the forest all night.
23:12Unless...
23:13Unless it's the children who might scare us.
23:19It seems a bit out of place here.
23:22I wonder who slept here last.
23:25What do you mean?
23:28I'm not sure.
23:30But just suppose the creature in the woods was not a stag.
23:35Suppose the animal we both heard howling out there was not a dog.
23:39And consider...
23:41What sort of Hungarian ritual causes little children to be afraid of a cheerful fireside hearth...
23:46Tom.
23:47...and causes them to grow progressively clumsier as daylight fades?
23:52And those two dogs?
23:55To protect whom?
23:56From what?
23:57Oh, let's just change the subject, Tom.
24:00And suppose it's a full moon?
24:12What is it?
24:18What in God's name's going on here?
24:20I'm gonna take a look.
24:24If I can get down to the ground from here.
24:26No, stay with me.
24:28Look, darling.
24:29I'm a lawyer.
24:30I'm a logical man.
24:32For God's sake, Sarah, I'm not allowing some cranky family in the middle of a Somerset forest to make a
24:35fool of us.
24:36I'm just gonna look around the ground and see what's cooking.
24:38I'll only be about ten minutes.
24:38No, Tom.
24:39Tom, please stay with me.
24:41No, don't go.
24:41I've got a horrible feeling.
24:43Please, Tom, close the window.
24:44Stay with me.
24:45I think we're both being a bit silly about this.
24:47I'll only be a moment.
25:06Take care.
25:06Don't worry.
25:21Who is it?
25:31What is this happening?
25:36Tom?
25:39Tom?
25:42Tom?
25:46Tom?
25:47Tom?
25:54Please?
25:55Please call him up?
25:59Tom?
26:02Tom?
26:04Tom?
26:04Oh, my God.
26:58Oh, my God.
27:05Oh, my God.
27:06I can remember.
27:06Fell?
27:07Oh, no.
27:08No.
27:10The car crashed.
27:11They say you wrapped it round a tree.
27:15Oh!
27:16What?
27:16You broke your wrist.
27:18You know, we were both very lucky.
27:23I'm confused.
27:25I can remember the car, but I can't remember the crash.
27:30There was a house.
27:33We hit a house?
27:34No.
27:35No, there was this house in the woods, and a woman.
27:42I think you must still be concussed.
27:44I must have dreamt it.
27:46How extraordinary.
27:47Dreamt what?
27:48Oh, it's crazy.
27:50There was this family of werewolves.
27:56Oh, Tom.
28:00Only it seems so real.
28:05It must be something the doctor gave you.
28:08Do you know, it's a miracle we're alive.
28:13Then, after a day's observation, we were discharged.
28:16Rented a car, and Sarah drove us on down to the cottage.
28:20So you got there in the end?
28:21Oh, yes.
28:22Well, thanks, by the way.
28:23But the BMW didn't?
28:25Complete write-off.
28:27They brought it into the local garage.
28:28What was left of it.
28:29I'm getting a new one next week when I get this off.
28:32I'm glad you're all right.
28:35Apart from all, that was a holiday, okay?
28:39Tom!
28:41Oh.
28:42Yes, sure.
28:43It's fine.
28:46Magpie still, then?
28:47Yes.
28:49What is up, Tom?
28:51It's Sarah, Harry.
28:53There's something odd about her.
28:56Something strange.
28:59The old Arda has cooled, eh?
29:02Cooled?
29:02Oh, no, nothing like that.
29:04In fact, she's incredible in...
29:07in bed.
29:09Really?
29:10Oh, just incredible, but...
29:11I don't know.
29:12It's just not the same old Sarah.
29:14You mean she's changed?
29:16Yes.
29:17Well, my dear fellow, I'm not surprised.
29:19After a bad car accident, followed by a week alone with you in the country talking about corporate law at
29:24breakfast time, well, my dear chap.
29:26I mean, that is likely to turn anyone a bit odd.
29:31Harry, did you ever have a concussion?
29:34Three years in the parachute regiment, of course I've had concussion.
29:38Happened a couple of times, stupid landings.
29:39A couple or three times.
29:41Did you ever have dreams, bizarre dreams, when you are unconscious?
29:45No, the point of concussion is that you are out cold.
29:49No dreams.
29:50Good God.
29:53Why?
29:55Oh, nothing.
29:56No reason.
29:59We'd better have a look at this old boy.
30:02Yes.
30:03Perry Newman and Schreiber business.
30:05How are we going to handle it?
30:07Well, old man Perry will be in Connecticut just now.
30:10Someone should brief him before the offer comes through from Venezuela.
30:13God knows they pay enough for our advice.
30:15Someone from the Boston office?
30:17No.
30:19No, I'll go myself.
30:21Concord tomorrow, then fly up to Maine in the Beechcraft.
30:24That's my boy.
30:25For a time I was afraid you were beginning to lose the magic touch.
30:29You're not mad at me?
30:32Why would I be?
30:34I could be gone in three or four weeks.
30:37Super.
30:37Have a lovely time.
30:43Tell me something.
30:45Of course.
30:47Have you ever had that dream again?
30:52No.
30:53Why?
30:54I just wondered.
30:56It...
30:57It seemed to get to you.
30:59Well, it did.
31:00You had a nightmare about a werewolf.
31:02A bloody family of them.
31:06You really are silly.
31:08Listen.
31:09I'll make the coffee.
31:11It doesn't matter.
31:12Don't you fancy me anymore?
31:13Oh, you know I do.
31:16But?
31:18Well, it's just that...
31:20Go on.
31:21You used to be more tender about it.
31:23Well, maybe you've never stayed around long enough to find out what I'm really like.
31:26Oh, come on.
31:27And my cooking.
31:28You used to love my cooking.
31:29I still do.
31:29You're a marvellous cook.
31:31Listen, Sarah, I'm sorry.
31:34You hardly ate a thing tonight.
31:36Well, it's just that...
31:39Um...
31:39Yes?
31:41No, nothing.
31:41Go on, say it.
31:43Look, darling, I love steak, but every night?
31:47You used to be such an imaginative cook.
31:52Poor Tom.
31:57When you come back, I'll make something really nice for you.
32:02Let's go to bed.
32:05Here.
32:06Here.
32:09Do it here.
32:19Here.
32:39You're looking well.
32:40You look pretty well yourself.
32:42Do I?
32:43Actually, you look extremely well.
32:46Would you say radiant?
32:48Radiant?
32:49But you're pregnant?
32:52How long?
32:53Well, I mean...
32:54Eight weeks.
32:55Oh, that's fantastic.
32:58Tonight, we celebrate.
33:00Oh, couldn't we just stay in?
33:02I've cooked you a lovely meal.
33:03All right.
33:04I'll get some pink champagne.
33:06What's for dinner?
33:08First, some mutton broth.
33:10If it's a boy, we'll call him...
33:13What?
33:14Mark.
33:16I rather like Mark.
33:19Mark.
33:20I like Andrew.
33:24Mark Andrew?
33:25Mm-hmm.
33:27Sounds a bit like Mark Anthony.
33:29Also, Mark Martin.
33:31Doesn't sound right.
33:36Toby.
33:38Toby.
33:39Toby Martin.
33:40Toby Martin.
33:42This fish is good.
33:44Why aren't you eating it?
33:46Hm?
33:47The salmon.
33:49What are you having?
33:55Thin, raw strips of fillet, darling.
34:00It's delicious.
34:04How about Tibor?
34:08It's a strange name.
34:10Tibor?
34:11Have you never heard it before?
34:13Maybe.
34:15Tibor.
34:15Mrs. Ardoi's child.
34:17One of the eight Sarah.
34:22Who is Mrs. Ardoi?
34:24When she's at home?
34:40What are you doing?
34:42Just getting a few things ready.
34:44For when I go to have the baby.
34:46Nothing like being prepared, eh?
34:50Tom.
34:51Yes, my love?
34:55I don't think it's a very good idea for us to...
34:59to make love anymore.
35:01Why?
35:02What's wrong?
35:03Just to the baby.
35:04For God's sake, Sarah.
35:06You're only two months pregnant.
35:09This baby is very important to me, Tom.
35:12Well, to me too.
35:13Strangely enough.
35:14Good.
35:16That's subtlety.
35:23And it's been like that for weeks now.
35:25Ever since I got back from the States that last time.
35:28Oh.
35:28Poor old Tom.
35:29Well, you know, uh...
35:31Lucy, the, uh...
35:33The new temp.
35:34No, no, no.
35:36That's not the problem.
35:38See, Sarah's changed so much, Harry.
35:41She's hardly the same person.
35:42She's gone a bit odd.
35:45Remote.
35:46She's even got a bag packed in his months before her time.
35:49What does the quack say?
35:50Oh, he says she's fit as a fiddle.
35:52The perfect child-bearing unit is how he romantically describes her.
35:56But the fetus is growing at one hell of a rate.
35:58Faster than he's ever known.
36:01And the, uh...
36:03The nookie problem, though.
36:05I didn't mention it.
36:07Oh, perhaps you should.
36:08Look, Harry.
36:10Sarah's a private person.
36:11She doesn't need to. She doesn't want to.
36:13And she doesn't want to?
36:16It all started after that bloody car crash.
36:20You had a, uh...
36:22Recurring nightmare, didn't you?
36:23What was that?
36:24You'd laugh.
36:25Oh, no, I wouldn't.
36:26But you've probably forgotten all about it.
36:27I mean, that's the way of dreams, isn't it?
36:29They're as clear as anything in the morning, and then...
36:32Tea, two boiled eggs, and bingo, you can't remember a damn thing about it.
36:35Wrong.
36:37I can remember every detail.
36:40Every second of every minute.
37:09Sarah?
37:15Sarah?
37:17Sarah?
37:52Sarah?
37:52One six double O?
37:53Tom, Ergann. About this South African shipping contract.
37:57Harry, can I ring you back?
37:59Of course. Anything wrong?
38:01Sarah. I think she's left.
38:05Where for?
38:06I think I know.
38:09I think I've always known
38:12Tom
39:04I think I've always known
39:07Tom
39:07Tom
39:07Tom
39:07Tom
39:07Tom
39:07Tom
39:07Tom
39:28The time is near.
39:30Yes.
39:31The others will finish this.
39:58The others will finish this.
40:18The others will finish this.
40:37The others will finish this.
41:05There's not much light left.
41:38The others will finish this.
41:39Contractions nice and regular.
41:41Lovely.
41:42Now you take your clothes off.
41:43There's a clever girl.
42:11There's a clever girl.
42:49You know, it's really peaceful here.
42:54I think part of me couldn't have expected to be here.
43:29I think part of me couldn't have expected to be here.
44:01I think part of me couldn't have expected to be here.
44:14It happens to an old track near here.
44:15A track, friend?
44:17Well, actually, I'm looking for a big house.
44:18There's an overgrown track that leads up to it from the road.
44:21No, there's no tracks for miles either side here.
44:25The woman who lives there is called Ardoi.
44:29Ardoi?
44:30With hordes of children.
44:32It's a family set up, really.
44:33You've passed the spot, friend.
44:35Or maybe it's further on.
44:37This road stretches for miles before Applegrove.
44:41It is around here.
44:44I know it.
44:45You see, I think my wife's gone there.
44:48There's no tracks.
44:50No house.
44:52Why, you're welcome to walk a ways with me.
44:55Look for yourself.
44:57Right.
44:59I'll do that.
45:11There, there, dear.
45:12Not much longer now.
45:14This is something troubling you, dear.
45:17I'm frightened.
45:20Only a few more minutes.
45:22It'll be all over.
45:38Do you see anything familiar?
45:39Well, one tree looks very much like another.
45:42Oh, don't you believe that, my friend?
45:45Every tree's known to me.
45:47You know that in nature, no two creations are exactly alike.
45:52You, you must know a few letters.
45:54There are legends about these parts.
45:55Legends?
45:55Legends?
45:55What sort of legends?
45:56Well, witches, that sort of thing.
45:59Witches?
46:00You're not fine witches in this part of the forest.
46:03How about werewolves?
46:08Werewolves?
46:12Legends.
46:13Any legends about werewolves?
46:16No.
46:18Nothing like that.
46:20Nothing I've ever heard of.
46:24Why, you won't find werewolf legends this side of Hadmez of Oshoreli.
46:28Where's that?
46:29It's a province of Hungary.
46:54Tell me one thing, Woodsman.
46:56Yes?
46:57Just suppose there was a werewolf in these parts.
47:03I try.
47:05Why should he want to lure young women into the forest?
47:09Mate with them.
47:10Rear their children with a foster mother like Mrs. Ardoi, of whom naturally you have never heard.
47:21Wolves, friend.
47:23They live in packs, wolves do.
47:26And each pack has its leader.
47:29And the leader has many mates and many cubs.
47:34Now, a werewolf, not that I would know, but surely it would be natural for a werewolf, if such a
47:43legendary creature existed, to have the same instincts, wolf-like.
47:50Bull-pine.
47:56Of Mrs. Ardoi, the foster mother, those beautiful children.
48:02Beautiful children when it's light.
48:06But when daylight has finally fled the forest, it's time for the wolf in them to scumper among the trees.
48:14Kill an occasional wild sheep.
48:17Oh, they do like their mutton broth.
48:20But T-Ball, the flute, that house.
48:23In the day, do not werewolves take on their human form?
48:29Surely any father would want his cubs to have a cheerful foster mother and a comfortable house, learn the graces
48:37which their human side needs for their happiness?
48:40Why, if you ask me, this particular werewolf sounds quite civilized.
48:51Mothers.
48:53Where were the mothers?
48:57I remember you now.
49:01Please.
49:02If anything happens to Sarah.
49:06Sarah.
49:33He's going to be a fine, fine fellow.
49:37Just like his dad.
49:39I remember you now.
49:40He he he.
49:41He.
49:48Oh, my God.
