00:02:12Wild dogs got themselves a taste of human blood
00:02:15Ain't nobody gonna be safe out in the houses
00:02:17We get together and whack off the island
00:02:21You go call the sheriff
00:02:24Yes, pal
00:02:38All right, what can anyone tell me about it?
00:02:40Well, young Tom, he or he come on our first
00:02:43How'd the rest of you get here so fast?
00:02:45Brad and Scully was at the gas station when I called you, sir
00:02:48Came on the park driving back here
00:02:53Who else knows about it?
00:02:55Only preacher figures
00:02:56I called him after I called you
00:02:58What for?
00:02:59Well, I figured somebody ought to tell her brother what happened to her
00:03:02Preacher beggar's the only one in French town got a telephone
00:03:05Well, we're lucky you don't have a whole pocket full of dimes, are we?
00:03:09Well, don't the family got a right to know?
00:03:11It's up to the authorities
00:03:13Now, Ellie and Lawrence Burafu got a father next to death
00:03:16He hears about something like this
00:03:17There'll go be two dead bodies, that what you want?
00:03:24I guess not
00:03:35What can you tell me, Doc?
00:03:37Right now
00:03:39Only that it's not considered good medical practice
00:03:41To perform autopsies in the middle of swamps
00:03:43Surrounded by howling dogs and scratching rustics
00:03:47I, uh, want the remains moved to the hospital as soon as you can arrange it
00:03:52Do you think that can be accomplished by the neighborhood clods
00:03:54Without completely obliterating any chance there might be of determining cause of death?
00:03:58Ellie!
00:04:02Ellie!
00:04:05Ellie!
00:04:07All right, somebody grab a hold of him now
00:04:09Go on, stop him
00:04:11You don't want to see you like that, Lawrence!
00:04:22Ellie!
00:04:33Ellie!
00:04:36Anybody know how it happened, Sheriff Whitaker?
00:04:38You bring him here, Reverend
00:04:39He just stole my car and come anyway, Sheriff
00:05:00Who killed her?
00:05:01He was wild dogs, boy
00:05:02This couldn't be done by a human person
00:05:04Take your hands off me, mister!
00:05:05Hey, you hold on to your manners, boy
00:05:07All right, all right, all right, let's hold it
00:05:09All right, all right, let's hold it
00:05:11All right, let's hold it
00:05:11All right, let's just hold it
00:05:13Now you go on home with the Reverend, wait for me
00:05:15Go on
00:05:16Go on
00:05:17Go on
00:05:20You two boys have a doctor with a buddy
00:05:23Now the rest of you, get out of here
00:05:25I won't look around by myself
00:05:26Go on, get
00:05:33Come on, Lawrence, come on
00:05:38He thinks someone murdered her
00:05:39Well, what do you think?
00:05:42Wild dogs do it to her
00:05:45Tell me what you mean by do it
00:05:48Dogs might very well have done something to her
00:05:51There were bite marks
00:05:55Well, then they killed her
00:05:59You show me a pack of dogs where one of them knows how to hit you on the side of
00:06:03the head and knock you unconscious and I'll sign a desert to forget saying she was killed by dogs
00:06:10Something struck her
00:06:12Someone struck her
00:06:13With enough force either to kill her outright or to render her sufficiently senseless to be dragged out into that
00:06:19field and left for the dogs to finish off
00:06:23Find someone strong enough to do that with his left hand and you'll have who did it
00:06:29Left hand
00:06:30The mark was along here
00:06:32That's where a left-handed person would strike you if you were facing him
00:06:38You've got a murder, Sheriff
00:06:45That's just what I need
00:07:23Hello, sir
00:07:25Sheriff
00:07:26I'd like to come in if you'd allow it
00:07:33Hi, Lawrence, you feeling better?
00:07:35Did you find out who did it to her?
00:07:42How's your father?
00:07:43How's your father?
00:07:44Does he know about it?
00:07:45I just bathed him
00:07:46Do you want to pay your greetings?
00:07:48That'll pleasure me
00:08:08What's he saying?
00:08:09What he's been saying ever since Ellie was killed
00:08:14You?
00:08:15What are you saying?
00:08:16What are you saying?
00:08:17Oh, my dear
00:08:18Let me look at all
00:08:21Jolly
00:08:22Annie
00:08:23Let me look at all
00:08:25Dieu
00:08:26Dieu
00:08:27Dieu
00:08:28Mon Dieu
00:08:32Mon Dieu
00:08:33Mon Dieu
00:08:33Mon Dieu
00:08:35Je veux rester
00:08:41What was he talking about?
00:08:43I don't know French
00:08:44What's a lukeroo?
00:08:45I don't know
00:08:47Well, you speak French
00:08:49Never heard that word before
00:08:51First time I heard that word
00:08:53When I come back from where they found Ellie
00:08:56Did he know about Ellie?
00:08:58Yeah, he knows
00:08:59Who told him?
00:09:02Nobody told him
00:09:02Well, then how does he know?
00:09:04Well, I can't tell you that
00:09:06He's been talking like that ever since I got back
00:09:09Looking about
00:09:12His pretty Ellie
00:09:14His little girl
00:09:15His sweet daughter
00:09:16And the lukeroo
00:09:19He knows
00:09:22Somehow he knows
00:09:23Without anybody telling him
00:09:25That doesn't make any sense
00:09:28He's just got crazy things going on in his head
00:09:30Because he's old and sick
00:09:34Let's talk about what's going on in your head
00:09:38Well, you know what's going on in my head
00:09:40I want to know what got it going
00:09:42It wasn't wild dogs that killed Ellie
00:09:45Now, how do you know that?
00:09:47She was having trouble
00:09:49What kind of trouble?
00:09:51With a man
00:09:54Well, who?
00:09:55I don't know who
00:09:56Wasn't anybody from down here on the bayou
00:09:59Somebody up on Pecan Hill
00:10:01Some other Marsh Island snobbery
00:10:04Well, how'd you know?
00:10:05She'd tell you that?
00:10:07She didn't tell me anything
00:10:09That's how I know
00:10:10We was good friends
00:10:12She used to tell me everything
00:10:15Then suddenly she just
00:10:17Shut up tight
00:10:18Wouldn't talk a word to me
00:10:20And so was last night
00:10:22When she was ironing her dress
00:10:23And brushing out her hair
00:10:26I asked her
00:10:28She wouldn't say
00:10:32I know
00:10:33Don't you worry about that
00:10:35How'd you know there was trouble between them?
00:10:38You said there was trouble
00:10:39I could read her face like a newspaper
00:10:45Something had gone wrong
00:10:47Something bad
00:10:49I tried to find out what it was
00:10:51She wouldn't tell me
00:10:53She just sassed me
00:10:54Told me to shut my mouth and gut a French
00:10:57But what'd you do?
00:11:01Well, I hit her
00:11:02How hard?
00:11:04Well, hard enough to let her know
00:11:06What I thought about her
00:11:07Letting the
00:11:09Quality put their fat fingers all over her
00:11:12Go on, show me how hard you hit her
00:11:14Show me how you hit her
00:11:15Go on, show me
00:11:24I've known you for 10 years
00:11:27I never knew you were left-handed
00:12:04I don't know
00:12:06Good morning, Mr. Rodin
00:12:08Good morning, Jared
00:12:09How are you?
00:12:11Anything I can do for you?
00:12:13Well, I just
00:12:14I just came by, I guess you heard about Deli Burrful.
00:12:19Yes, I did hear, Sheriff. It's a terrible thing to happen.
00:12:22Come on, let's sit on the gallery.
00:12:25Is it true they discovered her body just the other side of our grove?
00:12:28Yeah, right near the Grumandy place.
00:12:32Have you any idea who might have done it?
00:12:34Well, we don't know much yet.
00:12:37I was just trying to trace where she went after she left the house before she got to the marshes.
00:12:43She could have come along the Garnhill Road.
00:12:47Maybe she took a shortcut across the bayou.
00:12:50I was half wondering if you might have been outside between 8 and 12 and noticed her pass by.
00:12:55Oh, I'm afraid not, Sheriff. I wasn't being a very happy man about that time last night.
00:13:01Oh?
00:13:02Yes, I was doing battle with another bout of malaria.
00:13:06There was a time there when I thought my shaking was going to bring the whole house down around my
00:13:10ears,
00:13:10but it finally passed off around 1 or 2,
00:13:13and I slept the rest of the night like a dead man.
00:13:16Andrew?
00:13:18We're just about ready for lunch.
00:13:21Miss Rodan, I didn't know you'd return to Marsh Island.
00:13:24Just a couple of hours ago, I met a plane in New Orleans.
00:13:28I guess you don't remember me.
00:13:30You're Aaron Whittaker. I remember you very well.
00:13:33When did you meet Sheriff Whittaker, Louise?
00:13:34Well, he wasn't Sheriff then, Andrew. He was just plain Aaron Whittaker,
00:13:38and he was two grades ahead of me in junior high.
00:13:40And I had this terrible crush on him.
00:13:43Louise?
00:13:44You probably didn't know a single thing about that, did you?
00:13:47Well, I wish I had. We could have compared them.
00:13:49Compared what?
00:13:51Crushes. I had one on you, too.
00:13:54Well, why ever didn't you say something about it?
00:13:58To a Rodan?
00:13:59Well, we're human, aren't we? I mean, practically, aren't we, Andrew?
00:14:02Like anybody else.
00:14:03Even though we're a fine old family,
00:14:06and settled Marsh Island and all that.
00:14:09Even though there's always been a Rodan
00:14:11living in this great old house here,
00:14:13even though you can't keep it warm when it's cold out,
00:14:16cool when it's hot,
00:14:18or dry when the rain's floating in through the cracks.
00:14:20Uh, Louise.
00:14:21Well, it's true, isn't it?
00:14:22At least it was five years ago when I left.
00:14:24Has anybody fixed the roof since then?
00:14:26Or put in heating?
00:14:27Louise.
00:14:29Now, Sheriff Whitaker is attending to a small matter,
00:14:33and I'm sure you are impatient to get on with it.
00:14:34Isn't that so, Sheriff?
00:14:35Well, it's nice seeing you again, Miss Rodan.
00:14:38Well, you will come to call, won't you?
00:14:40Oh, I have to remember all the way they say things here.
00:14:43Come to call. Is that it?
00:14:45Or pay a visit?
00:14:46In New York, it's ring up, drop in, hop over.
00:14:51Things are much more active in New York.
00:14:55Uh, Louise, I'll be right along.
00:14:57Oh, dear, I'm talking too much.
00:14:59You've noticed that, I suppose.
00:15:00I'm a compulsive talker.
00:15:01Everybody says so.
00:15:03You know, it happened to me shortly after I graduated from junior high school.
00:15:06What a pity it didn't happen sooner.
00:15:08I could have mentioned that terrible crush I had on you.
00:15:11Oh, Andrew is staring at me.
00:15:14Well, goodbye, Sheriff.
00:15:16Way to care and do.
00:15:17Uh, ring up, uh, drop in, and hop over.
00:15:20Oh, my, that does sound energetic, doesn't it?
00:15:23Oh, uh, put your hat on, and you're going to get a sunstroke in this climate.
00:15:27I'm going, Andrew. I'm going.
00:15:37My sister has been ill, Sheriff. That's why she's come home.
00:15:41Well, I hope she'll be feeling better soon.
00:15:44Oh, yes, she will be, with a lot of rest, quiet, no excitement of any sort.
00:15:48What you mean is I shouldn't bother to ring up, uh, drop in, or hop over.
00:15:54If it hadn't occurred to me you were taking the invitation seriously, Sheriff.
00:16:00I wasn't.
00:16:02Mr. Rodan?
00:16:04Sheriff?
00:16:34You got yourself a clue, Sheriff?
00:16:41In the order you ever see this?
00:16:43I don't know.
00:16:45What did the fella call it?
00:16:46You identified Ellie Burrafu.
00:16:48That means you knew her.
00:16:50But we knew her, all right.
00:16:51She did cleaning for us a while.
00:16:53Back after Marzai.
00:16:55How long?
00:16:55A year, near about.
00:16:57That's before she went to work at the hospital.
00:17:00You ever date her?
00:17:02Sure I didn't.
00:17:03You ain't telling me what you were doing the night you was killed?
00:17:07I was down in town at the bean wagon.
00:17:09A lot of folks seen me.
00:17:10Yeah, when'd you get back? What'd you do?
00:17:12Came back around 10, went to bed, that's what.
00:17:18You see him?
00:17:20Well, I didn't get in until about 12.
00:17:22Well, where were you?
00:17:23Pitchers in Lyotville.
00:17:25Well, when you got home, did you look in and see if Tom was home?
00:17:28Well, Tom Junie here's a grown man.
00:17:31I don't bed-shake him no more.
00:17:33Anyhow, why are you asking us things?
00:17:35Because wild dogs had done it, wasn't it?
00:17:40She's saying there wasn't wild dogs?
00:17:45There's more than one kind.
00:17:50And I'll see you.
00:18:17Good morning, Sarah.
00:18:19Sheriff.
00:18:20What brings you to town?
00:18:22Oh, Hugh sent me up to the store to buy some things.
00:18:25Some acid-fistia and some sulfur.
00:18:28What for?
00:18:29For the lucarook.
00:18:31For what?
00:18:32For to drive the lucarook away.
00:18:35Well, Sarah, do you know what a lucarook is?
00:18:38I don't.
00:18:39No, Sheriff, I don't.
00:18:40But Hugh thinks the lucarook killed Ellie,
00:18:43and now he's scared it's gonna get Lawrence.
00:18:45Well, you say that?
00:18:46Yes, sir.
00:18:48Only I'll tell you something, Sheriff.
00:18:50I didn't know the lucarook killed Ellie,
00:18:52no matter what the old man says.
00:18:54And Lawrence didn't do it either.
00:18:58If that's what you've been thinking.
00:19:00Oh, Sarah, he had a reason, and he's left-handed.
00:19:03He didn't kill her, Sheriff.
00:19:04Don't go wasting no time on Lawrence.
00:19:06I know that.
00:19:09Now, how do you know that, Sheriff?
00:19:11Because I know who did kill her.
00:19:15Who?
00:19:17You'll find out who's never made Ellie pregnant,
00:19:21and you'll find out who killed her.
00:19:35How come I'm not getting any more answers
00:19:37out of the back of your head
00:19:38than I was out of the front?
00:19:40How come you didn't tell me Ellie was pregnant?
00:19:43I knew she was pregnant.
00:19:45I was third in my class.
00:19:49How come you didn't say anything?
00:19:52Aaron, I was performing an autopsy
00:19:54to determine cause of death.
00:19:56Pregnancy didn't cause her death.
00:19:59Well, I'm not so sure.
00:20:01Well, I am.
00:20:05Doc, if she was pregnant, somebody got her that way.
00:20:10And that's a clear lead to who killed her.
00:20:15No.
00:20:17No, it isn't.
00:20:22Antibiotics, anyone?
00:20:23No.
00:20:29None at all.
00:20:33Because I got her pregnant.
00:20:40And I didn't kill her.
00:20:43I loved her.
00:20:45I guess I'll have some of your antibiotics.
00:20:49Sorry, there's only one glass.
00:20:50I didn't say anything about needing a glass.
00:20:54I know what you're thinking.
00:20:56What do you think you do?
00:20:58Burroughs Drutton, M.D.
00:21:00FACS.
00:21:01Grandson of Senator Jefferson Drutton of Louisiana.
00:21:03Out of his mind, in love with the girl who does cleaning.
00:21:05Isn't that what you're thinking?
00:21:06Lawrence said she had a date.
00:21:08He didn't say who with.
00:21:10You know who she had a date with?
00:21:12Of course.
00:21:15Me.
00:21:20But she never came.
00:21:21I waited until I decided she wasn't going to come.
00:21:24Then I went home.
00:21:25Where were you supposed to meet?
00:21:27Near the bottom of Peacon Hill.
00:21:29In the grove, across the wall from the Rodanth property.
00:21:34That's where we met a lot.
00:21:38One time in particular.
00:21:40Lawrence said she looked worried.
00:21:43She was.
00:21:45That's what we were going to talk about.
00:21:47The baby.
00:21:49I wanted to abort it.
00:21:51She wanted to marry me and have it.
00:21:54She wanted us to go someplace to live.
00:21:56Somewhere else where people wouldn't know us.
00:21:58I leave Marsh Island.
00:22:00And the hospital.
00:22:02And my whole life.
00:22:03You didn't want to.
00:22:04I didn't have the guts to.
00:22:06I'm almost 50, Aaron.
00:22:07Why do you start over again at 50?
00:22:17I wanted to go on loving her.
00:22:20Not having to give up anything for it.
00:22:24She said no.
00:22:25We were going to talk it out that night.
00:22:28But she never came.
00:22:31So I went home.
00:22:35I never saw her again.
00:22:38Till out there in that clearing.
00:22:41Torn apart.
00:22:46Sounds like I killed her, doesn't it?
00:22:56You ever see this before?
00:23:01No, never did.
00:23:03Where'd you get it?
00:23:04You never saw Ellie wear it.
00:23:06This?
00:23:08Ellie never owned anything like that.
00:23:16Okay.
00:23:18Aaron.
00:23:22I didn't kill Ellie.
00:23:24Well, boy, I sure hope not.
00:23:28Hey, uh...
00:23:29Doc, what do you use sulfur and asafetida for?
00:23:33You don't. Not anymore.
00:23:34Well, when you used to use them, what do you use them for?
00:23:37My grandmother used to claim they kept wolves away.
00:23:40Wolves?
00:23:43I see.
00:23:45You're not going to arrest me?
00:23:47You left-handed?
00:23:49No.
00:23:51Of course, whoever made that mark on Ellie...
00:23:54Should have come up from behind there and that'd make him right-handed.
00:23:57Maybe.
00:23:58I'll see you.
00:24:16I'll see you.
00:24:26Hello.
00:24:27Hello.
00:24:29Andrew had a terribly important meeting with the town council, so I made him drive me in with him.
00:24:34Well, have you found out who did that awful thing to that girl yet?
00:24:37Not yet.
00:24:40Do I have to call you sheriff the way Andrew does?
00:24:43Could I call you Aaron?
00:24:46Aaron would be fine, huh?
00:24:49Well, then you've got to call me Louise.
00:24:51All right, thank you.
00:24:54I was wondering if, uh...
00:24:58Was there something you wanted to say, Aaron?
00:25:00Yeah, I was wondering if you'd have a cup of coffee with me over at Eddie's.
00:25:08Well, I'd admire to do that very much, Aaron.
00:25:16You know I've never once in all my life been in his place.
00:25:19You know that?
00:25:24So now that you are, what do you think?
00:25:27What do I think?
00:25:31I think Eddie doesn't make a very good cup of coffee.
00:25:34Maybe he'd like something else to drink.
00:25:36Not much he can do to burger.
00:25:42They're all staring at me now.
00:25:43What would they do if they saw me take a drink?
00:25:46Hey, listen.
00:25:46When Eddie finds out he had a rodent in here tomorrow, all the prices are gonna go up.
00:25:53We really own this town, don't we?
00:25:56Where did your great granddaddy establish it?
00:25:59Oh, I know it all got drummed into me when I was just little.
00:26:03Your FFL child.
00:26:05First family of Louisiana.
00:26:06Don't you ever forget it, child.
00:26:09You know I forgot it.
00:26:13What's everybody been saying about me coming back so suddenly after all this time?
00:26:18What's Andrew been telling them?
00:26:20Well, Andrew...
00:26:22said you were sick.
00:26:25Oh, that is Andrew.
00:26:27He'd rather one thought I was a terminal case or something than know the truth.
00:26:32You want to know the truth, Aaron?
00:26:34You want to know why I finally came back to the ancestral manor?
00:26:39Well, I can hardly say no, Ken.
00:26:41No, I guess not after my leading you on this way.
00:26:45I was living with a man.
00:26:47That's what was happening.
00:26:49That's what Andrew just can't bear anyone knowing.
00:26:52And what is worse, the man I was living with was not socially acceptable.
00:26:56And what is worse?
00:26:58Oh, there's some worse.
00:26:59Oh, yes, what you hear.
00:27:01The socially unacceptable man I had been living in sin with walked out on me.
00:27:07Well, I would think that Andrew would have been relieved.
00:27:11Oh, no, he was furious.
00:27:14Why, if they'd had dueling, it had dueled him dead.
00:27:16You don't walk out on a rodent even if you are living in sin with her.
00:27:20And I was socially unacceptable.
00:27:22You know what Andrew did?
00:27:24He hired some detectives and they came to New York and found me.
00:27:26They packed me right back here.
00:27:28Well, you didn't have to go.
00:27:30You could have said no.
00:27:31He's got all the money.
00:27:32He'd cut me off.
00:27:35Could have gotten a job.
00:27:37Doing what?
00:27:38There's the curse of the road dance again.
00:27:40All we women folk were ever taught with piano and how to talk French.
00:27:46So here I am, back at the old homestead.
00:27:49Haven't been saved from myself.
00:27:51And Andrew's running around telling everybody I've been sick.
00:27:55Well, I'm glad you're back.
00:27:58Are you, Aaron?
00:28:07Well, I'll stop telling myself how unhappy I am because Andrew's such a stinker.
00:28:12Mr. O'Dean, how do?
00:28:15Good afternoon.
00:28:16Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:28:17Please, don't let me interrupt your pleasures.
00:28:24I've been looking all over for you, Louise.
00:28:26Sheriff, this is where your sleuthing has taken you.
00:28:29Oh, Andrew, don't be so stuffy.
00:28:31Andrew's invited me in here for a cup of coffee.
00:28:34Oh.
00:28:35Well, I'm much obliged to you, Sheriff, for occupying my sister while I was doing town business.
00:28:40I'm ready to go home now, Louise.
00:28:42And you ought to get some rest.
00:28:43You're looking a little peaked.
00:28:45And you remember what the doctor told you.
00:28:47Andrew, it's no use.
00:28:48I've spilled the beans, to Aaron.
00:28:51That is right.
00:28:52I have told him the whole ugly truth about why I'm back in Marsh Island.
00:28:55So there's no point in going on and on and on about how I need rest now I've been sick
00:29:01and what the doctor said.
00:29:04I see.
00:29:07Well, it's comforting to know that Sheriff Whitaker is not the town gossip.
00:29:13Sheriff, I hear it being said that Mr. Germandy and his boy are organizing a hunt for tomorrow.
00:29:17Aiming to wipe out the wild dog population around here.
00:29:20Would you care to join in?
00:29:22We don't often get sport like that in these parts anymore.
00:29:25I just might.
00:29:27Mr. O'Dance.
00:29:30Of course, if the Germandy's kill off all those wild dogs, I don't know what they're going to have to
00:29:34talk about the rest of their lives.
00:29:37Are you ready, Louise?
00:29:53Help me out.
00:29:56My dear.
00:29:57It's okay.
00:30:00Mark!
00:30:01Papa.
00:30:13Oh, my dear.
00:30:18I look at the room.
00:30:22Merch!
00:30:24My dear.
00:30:25My dear.
00:30:30Dr. Druton, quick. He took bad this time. Real bad.
00:30:39Get it, Florence.
00:31:05Oh, my dear.
00:31:17Oh, my dear.
00:31:25Oh, my dear.
00:31:31You might as well start thinking about him dying, Lawrence, if you aren't already.
00:31:35He can't last much longer.
00:31:38Oh, my dear.
00:31:39Oh, my dear.
00:31:43Luka Rook. Is that French, Lawrence?
00:31:49Not any French I ever heard.
00:31:51Well, that shot will keep him quiet for a few hours.
00:31:56Okay.
00:32:08Dr. Druton.
00:32:10Yes, Sarah. What is it?
00:32:11What did you find when you examined Ellie?
00:32:13Just that she was murdered. Dogs didn't do it.
00:32:16Like I said.
00:32:18Well, you were right.
00:32:19Excuse me.
00:32:21Nothing else?
00:32:23No.
00:32:25Nothing.
00:32:27Goodbye.
00:32:28Nothing?
00:32:45Troubling you, Sarah.
00:32:48If he says he didn't find nothing, either he's lying about being a doctor or he's lying about what he
00:32:55found.
00:32:56Who are you talking about?
00:32:59If I tell you something, Lawrence, will you promise to keep your head on your neck?
00:33:06Hmm?
00:33:12What is it you're going to tell me?
00:33:14Promise.
00:33:21Promise.
00:33:27Well, I'm going to have a good bunch.
00:33:41Sheriff, are you coming on a wild dog hunt?
00:33:44Ah, you bring me a pal, Tom.
00:33:47I'm disappointed you're not joining us, Sheriff.
00:33:50Somebody's got to mind the storm.
00:33:54Good hunting.
00:33:55Somebody's coming this way like he is being hunted.
00:33:58Must be old Hugh again.
00:34:01What is it, Lawrence? You let me back, Sheriff.
00:34:03What is it?
00:34:03He killed my sister.
00:34:06Come on, grab me.
00:34:07Now, Lawrence, now cool it off.
00:34:09It was her, she was having a baby.
00:34:11It was his baby.
00:34:12Now, Lawrence, we know you're grieving.
00:34:14I don't really know anything to go around and kill you.
00:34:16Come on, Lawrence, now just stand right up there.
00:34:18Come on over here.
00:34:19You all go hunt your wild dogs.
00:34:21Now get out of here.
00:34:22Come on.
00:34:35Well, we better get going with it.
00:34:38While we still have the light.
00:34:40transparency.
00:34:41No, ma'am, you're a sweet guy.
00:34:42No, ma'am.
00:34:45Let's go.
00:34:52Come on, Lawrence.
00:34:54Come on, Lawrence.
00:34:54You're home.
00:34:56He's here.
00:34:57You're home.
00:34:58You're home, we're home.
00:34:59You're home.
00:35:01You're home.
00:35:03You're home, you're home.
00:35:15The End
00:35:42I was just cutting some roses.
00:35:44Well, come on in if you're not looking for clues.
00:35:49Well, I found the clue I was looking for.
00:35:51What clue?
00:35:52You.
00:35:54I was wondering if you were home.
00:35:57Well, where else would I be?
00:35:58Not shooting down dogs or the rest of the folks in these parts.
00:36:01Would you care for a glass of lemonade?
00:36:03My clue you are.
00:36:04Thank you. It's mighty hot.
00:36:06You'd have just driven on by.
00:36:08Oh, I suppose so, if you hadn't stopped me.
00:36:11Well, why'd you just come calling like everybody else?
00:36:14Well, anybody just wouldn't come calling, not here.
00:36:17Not without an invitation.
00:36:18I was brought up on March Island.
00:36:20So was I.
00:36:21I guess that's why nobody ever came calling.
00:36:24Well, have you solved your murder yet?
00:36:26Not quite.
00:36:28Well, do you have any suspects?
00:36:29Is that the word?
00:36:30That's the word.
00:36:32I've got three of them.
00:36:34Well, I don't want any one of them to have done it.
00:36:38Now, Doc Drutens, well, he's the closest thing I got to a friend here in this town.
00:36:46And Lawrence, Lawrence was a brother if he did it.
00:36:50Well, all the folks of quality around here will say, see what kind of people there are down in French
00:36:58town.
00:36:59They're half foreign and everything.
00:37:02And if it was Tom Germondy, that would mean there was something between Tom and Ellie.
00:37:07I wouldn't like to think she'd lower herself that much.
00:37:10I liked her.
00:37:13If I'm some sheriff, aren't I?
00:37:18I've never heard you talk so long before.
00:37:22I've never heard myself keep still so long.
00:37:25What do you suppose that means?
00:37:26Well, I don't know what it means to you, but...
00:37:30When I feel out of place, I just, uh, shut up.
00:37:34When I do, I just keep talking.
00:37:38I guess that's what it means.
00:37:42I guess that's what it means.
00:37:46Well, I, uh, I guess you'd better drink your lemonade.
00:37:53Yeah.
00:38:08Well, I shot eight dogs today.
00:38:11It took 20 of them to do.
00:38:13One of them wild dogs, Dr. Drew, because he's the one I'm going to get as soon as I get
00:38:17out of here.
00:38:17You get a long sentence for what you did today.
00:38:20You take my advice and just let him alone.
00:38:22He killed Ellie.
00:38:24You know that?
00:38:25Well, get yourself some sleep.
00:38:29I'll see you later, Terry.
00:38:30Hey, you want me to lock him in?
00:38:37You planning to escape, Lawrence?
00:38:40No.
00:38:42It wouldn't be worth it.
00:38:46He'll only lock it if he has visitors.
00:38:49Right, you know.
00:38:50Hide now.
00:38:51Yeah, I do.
00:38:54Hey.
00:39:09Hey.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:21Oh, my God.
00:39:50Oh, my God.
00:40:20Oh, my God.
00:40:21What was that?
00:40:22He's mean.
00:40:26But I'm gonna do like Aaron says.
00:40:29I'm gonna lock you up.
00:40:31Nobody's gonna be fooling around in my business.
00:40:36Now, you be a real good boy.
00:40:38Sit down.
00:40:39I'll be right back.
00:40:42I'll be right back.
00:41:09I'll be right back.
00:41:10I'll be right back.
00:41:11I'll be right back.
00:41:31Oh no.
00:41:35What did he want?
00:41:36Hey.
00:41:37Oh.
00:41:44I can't get back.
00:41:47No, no.
00:41:48What is...
00:41:49Go on.
00:41:51Don't...
00:42:32The same, except for the blows.
00:42:34This time, whoever did it,
00:42:36just throw them both apart with his fingernails.
00:42:42Cover them up.
00:42:44Aaron, what in devil's own name is it?
00:42:48You and the boys could have saved yourself the trouble of shooting all them dogs, ma'am.
00:42:54They didn't kill Ellie or Lawrence or Don Terry.
00:42:56Well, who did?
00:42:58Dang whappers, look at them lawyers.
00:43:01You get through those bars, Tom?
00:43:04Sure couldn't.
00:43:08I don't believe you could either.
00:43:11So I just run out of suspects.
00:43:16Are you sure?
00:43:17Is there anything you can tell us?
00:43:19Yeah, three people were killed by somebody strong enough to tear out iron bars.
00:43:24Find somebody around here who was strong enough to do that and you got yourself a killer.
00:43:27Well, ain't nobody that strong.
00:43:30There are no marks of any instruments used on the bars.
00:43:33They were torn out by bare hands.
00:43:36I'll, uh, send someone for the body, Sheriff.
00:43:39All right, Doc.
00:43:43I'd like to have, uh, four or five deputies for volunteers.
00:43:47Anyone volunteer?
00:43:49Well, what do you need deputies for, Aaron?
00:43:51Well, Ellie and Lawrence Burrafu were murdered by this wild man.
00:43:57There's only one Burrafu left, old Hume.
00:43:59How do we know he's not next?
00:44:02I want to post a 24-hour guard down at his house.
00:44:05All right, I want volunteers.
00:44:12Yeah, I thought so.
00:44:19Look at what happened to that deputy of yours who's gone in Lawrence.
00:44:22He wasn't the one out there getting myself all torn apart, guarding some old boy.
00:44:26He's pretty quarter dead anyhow.
00:44:29Oh, go on home, Ollie.
00:44:31Oh, get out of here. Go lock your doors.
00:44:33Well, that ain't no joke, Aaron.
00:44:35I'm locking and I'm voting.
00:44:37And I ain't feeding my dogs.
00:44:39You catch whatever whoever it is running around doing them things.
00:44:42I seen them boys.
00:44:44Tom, Junior, come on.
00:44:46Get on home.
00:45:04It's a bus.
00:45:04You can not get on your feet.
00:45:04Come on, Sheriff.
00:45:05Come on.
00:45:09You can't wait.
00:45:09I'm out of here.
00:45:09You can't wait.
00:45:26You have to wait for the-
00:45:32Good morning, Mr. Rodan.
00:45:35A little quiet, wouldn't you say, Sheriff?
00:45:37Uh-huh.
00:45:38There's probably eight or nine guns on us right now.
00:45:43Is that so?
00:45:45Well, I heard you were lacking deputies, so I thought I'd come and offer my services.
00:45:49If you think I qualify.
00:45:52I appreciate that, but what happens when I'm supposed to give you orders?
00:45:57I guess you'll just have to forget who I am and remember who you are, Sheriff.
00:46:03Well, come on.
00:46:05I'll drive you over to Hughes. I was going there myself.
00:46:56I'll drive you over to Hughes.
00:47:13Marsha Island was settled by my people, Sheriff, and I've never been into this part of town.
00:47:19You and your sister have seen a lot of new things, you see.
00:47:22I believe you're right, Sheriff.
00:47:30Go this way.
00:47:31It appears to be just as quiet here as up in town.
00:47:34Twice as many eyes watching us.
00:47:36You seem to have a tremendous knowledge of everything that's going on around you, even when it's completely invisible.
00:47:40Well, I am the sheriff.
00:47:41Morning, sir.
00:47:42How's you?
00:47:43Oh, he seems a little weaker today, Sheriff.
00:47:46Good morning, sir, Mr. Rodin.
00:47:48You know me.
00:47:50Oh, yes.
00:47:52Won't you come in, sir?
00:47:55My daddy used to work for you when your granddaddy had more than a hundred hunters.
00:48:01Well, there's only a few of them left now, and most of their huntings were past you, man.
00:48:05What's that smell?
00:48:08What's that smell?
00:48:11Ah!
00:48:12Ah!
00:48:14Ah!
00:48:15Ah!
00:48:16Ah!
00:48:16Ah!
00:48:17Ah!
00:48:29What's wrong with him?
00:48:30He's had a fit.
00:48:32Doctor, you were third in your class.
00:48:34I never went to college.
00:48:35I knew he was having a fit when he started having it.
00:48:38He's had a fit, and it was brought on, according to what you tell me, by something he smelled.
00:48:43Now, until he comes to, I can't say anything more.
00:48:45I've never had anything like this before.
00:48:47You've been the Marsh Island doctor for 20 years.
00:48:49Oh, yes.
00:48:49But not the Rodinth doctor.
00:48:51I wasn't good enough for them.
00:48:52They went to New Orleans.
00:48:55Said something about malaria.
00:48:56This isn't malaria.
00:48:59You got any ideas?
00:49:02Not until I can talk to him.
00:49:04If I just knew something about his medical history.
00:49:08Well, I'll find out for you.
00:49:09How?
00:49:11I'm the sheriff.
00:49:20Is he all right, Aaron?
00:49:22Well, the doctor says he doesn't have a temperature.
00:49:26And his pulse is all right.
00:49:31It's just as though he was sleeping it off.
00:49:33Sleeping what off?
00:49:35Whatever seized him.
00:49:37You ever have a fit like that before?
00:49:39Anyone in the family?
00:49:42Granddaddy used to have what they called his spells.
00:49:45What were they?
00:49:47Oh, I don't know.
00:49:48Please, sit down.
00:49:50I mean, nobody would ever talk about it.
00:49:52I was just little.
00:49:53All I remember was a lot of running around and whispering.
00:49:58And people talking about Granddaddy having one of his spells upstairs.
00:50:01A long time later, I was sure they meant he'd been drinking.
00:50:04Well, maybe it wasn't that at all.
00:50:07Maybe it was the same thing your brother just had.
00:50:16Well, what is it, Aaron?
00:50:17What are you looking at?
00:50:20This.
00:50:21That was my mother.
00:50:22She gave it to me.
00:50:25You know where it is?
00:50:26Oh, good heavens, no.
00:50:28Well, I mean, I might know if I looked for it.
00:50:30I left it here when I went to New York.
00:50:31I suppose it was around here somewhere.
00:50:33Why?
00:50:33Well, it is somewhere.
00:50:36Well, what are you doing with it?
00:50:38Is that it?
00:50:39Well, of course it is.
00:50:40Where'd you get it?
00:50:42I found it near where they discovered Ellie's body.
00:50:46She stole it?
00:50:49Not necessarily.
00:50:51Well, how else could she have gotten it?
00:50:54I'm going to find out.
00:50:56You mean Andrew?
00:50:58I don't mean anything.
00:51:00I just mean I'm going to find out.
00:51:01I'm going to the hospital.
00:51:02Oh, Aaron, could I come with you, please?
00:51:06You have to wait in the other room or I question it.
00:51:16I gave it to her.
00:51:17When?
00:51:19The night she was murdered.
00:51:21Mr. Rodin, maybe I oughtn't to be questioning you in your present condition.
00:51:26Although the doc did say he was going to send you home tonight.
00:51:30Now, if you don't know what she's saying.
00:51:32Oh, I didn't kill the girl, Sheriff.
00:51:33And I know perfectly what I'm saying.
00:51:35I gave her that bit of bright work in return for certain favors she did me over the past year.
00:51:42Favor?
00:51:42Not the kind you're thinking, Sheriff.
00:51:47Don't.
00:51:48Hey.
00:51:54Have you ever heard of Siebert's syndrome?
00:51:58Well, it's an offshoot of blackwater fever, the one form of malaria.
00:52:03They don't know anything about, really.
00:52:04And once you got it, you got it forever.
00:52:09And the only time you know you had an attack is when you wake up after it's all over.
00:52:15I've had it for over a year now.
00:52:17What do you do about it?
00:52:18You take trap pyridone.
00:52:21It's the only thing that keeps it under control.
00:52:24Where do you get that?
00:52:25Here, at the hospital.
00:52:28Well, then Dr. Juton would have known about it.
00:52:31No.
00:52:32Sheriff, I have an interesting aversion to my maladies being paraded around the town.
00:52:39In the subject of gossip in ballrooms and bathrooms.
00:52:45Ellie Burrafu used to bring me the medicine in the evening, a month's supply at a time.
00:52:50And those were the favors she did me.
00:52:53In return for some money and...
00:52:56the night she died, that locket.
00:52:58Mr. Rodin, are you telling me that Ellie brought you some medicine on the night she was murdered?
00:53:03That's right.
00:53:05What time?
00:53:07Oh, between 8 and 9 o'clock.
00:53:10Where was she?
00:53:11I don't know.
00:53:13It was a pretty dress.
00:53:14It was sort of brown, I think, with checks.
00:53:19But she wasn't in a pleasure to move that night.
00:53:21She had something on her mind, it seemed like.
00:53:24So I gave the locket to Ellie, saying, here.
00:53:27Maybe this will brighten you up a little.
00:53:29Did it?
00:53:30Not noticeably.
00:53:31But she thanked me and I hung...
00:53:34hung it around her neck, I closed the catch and...
00:53:37and she went away to get murdered.
00:53:38What did you do after Ellie left?
00:53:41Something stupid, Sheriff.
00:53:43Nothing.
00:53:44Nothing.
00:53:45I should have gone right back upstairs and taken two of the pills, but I didn't.
00:53:49I just sat there, thinking to myself, what a pretty girl Ellie Bariff who was.
00:53:55Just sat there thinking.
00:53:57And, uh, and?
00:54:00The next thing I knew, I was taking a shower.
00:54:04And it was about 5 o'clock in the morning.
00:54:08Well, Mr. O'Lance, when you came home last evening after hunting, what'd you do then?
00:54:14I dined with my sister.
00:54:16And after that?
00:54:18I went straight to bed.
00:54:19It tired me out more than I thought that, huh?
00:54:22So I went to bed early, couldn't have been later than 9.
00:54:25Slept the night.
00:54:27Without waking?
00:54:28Straight through to breakfast.
00:54:29And that's when I learned from my sister what had happened in the night to Lawrence Burfu and your deputy.
00:54:36It was the same person, wasn't it, Sheriff?
00:54:39All these murders, they've been committed by the same person, haven't they?
00:54:42Well, it seems so.
00:54:44If there is a person that can tear iron bars out of a brick wall.
00:54:54Oh, yeah.
00:54:57Mr. O'Lance, you don't happen to be left-handed.
00:55:01I'm ambidextrous, Sheriff.
00:55:03I can sign my name with both hands at the same time, and it would take a handwriting expert to
00:55:07tell you the difference.
00:55:08You know, there have been five of us in my family who inherited that interesting trait from my great-great
00:55:13-grandfather.
00:55:16Well, take care, sir.
00:55:23Mr. O'Lance, Mr. O'Lance, is the Sheriff Whitaker still with me?
00:55:27Oh, there he is.
00:55:28Aaron, I can't get one person in this fear-ridden town to take this medication to old Hugh.
00:55:33If he breaks loose with one more spell of the Luc Garouk's, it'll be the finish of it.
00:55:36I'll take it.
00:55:38A spell of the poet?
00:55:39It's something the old man keeps saying in French.
00:55:42Nobody around here can understand it.
00:55:45I know French.
00:55:47You go with me?
00:55:48Of course.
00:55:49Miss Rudd?
00:55:50Doctor.
00:55:51I said he went to bed at nine.
00:55:53Well, I know it was early.
00:55:56You know, we slept tonight.
00:55:58Well, I don't know. I dropped off about eleven.
00:56:01I don't know it was early.
00:56:16Hello, Sarah. How is it?
00:56:18It's closer. I saw closer.
00:56:20That's what it is.
00:56:22That's a sedative.
00:56:23That's what people used to think.
00:56:26I know.
00:56:27Look at him!
00:56:29Mom.
00:56:29Yes!
00:56:31Look at him!
00:56:32Look at him!
00:56:55Look at him!

00:57:35Look, Luke.
00:57:36He's saying le garou.
00:57:38Werewolf.
00:57:39He's saying werewolf.
00:57:42He says that I'm its next victim.
00:58:07Mr. Rodin.
00:58:30Ah!
00:58:35Oh
00:59:13Okay now quieten down and listen now tom gurma. He knows these marshes better in his own name, so i'm

00:59:54Mayor listen to me
00:59:56Finding him is one thing but hunting him down and shooting him is another thing all together
01:00:00Now this is a law enforcement matter
01:00:04You organize this posse without an illegal authority
01:00:07I'm acting under authority vested in me by the marsh island charter
01:00:12Now tom gurma is in charge now
01:00:17Louise
01:00:19Come on Louise
01:00:21Come on boys
01:00:22Come on
01:01:28I didn't find him, but they're still at it.
01:01:30Aaron, come in here. There's something I want you to see.
01:01:34What is it?
01:01:39Lycanthropy and lycanthrop-like diseases.
01:01:42What's lycanthropy?
01:01:44Werewolves.
01:01:46Oh, Louise, you don't believe it.
01:01:47What I believe, what I want to believe, is that it's what Andrew said it was.
01:01:51A disease that you can take pills to control.
01:01:54But after what Dr. Druten said,
01:01:56and after what happened at the Burfu house,
01:01:58and Grandaddy's Fitz, and now this book.
01:02:00Let me see.
01:02:31True lycanthropy, the victim's yearning for the taste of blood
01:02:35turns him into a most powerful, dangerous, and deadly killer.
01:02:39Mythology has it that werewolves are repelled
01:02:41and rendered temporarily harmless
01:02:45by the smell of sulfur.
01:02:47And it is also recorded, though, with no scientific basis whatever,
01:02:52that certain persons, sensitive sorcerers,
01:02:55exorcisers of evil, claim to be able to...
01:02:57No, no, go on. Go on, read it.
01:02:59It's mythology. I'm not interested in mythology.
01:03:01Well, I am.
01:03:03Claim to be able to see the shape of a pentagram
01:03:06in the hand of the werewolf's next victim.
01:03:09Louise, it's 1972.
01:03:10I heard he looked into Lawrence's hand
01:03:12just before Andrew killed him.
01:03:14Well, that's what Sarah said,
01:03:16but Sarah's a superstitious...
01:03:17He just looked into mine.
01:03:19Louise, he is your brother.
01:03:25Andrew isn't...
01:03:33He's out there.
01:03:35It's in the barn.
01:03:39Stay right there.
01:03:54Come on. Come on.
01:03:58Stay here, Louise.
01:04:04Aaron, he tore iron bars out of cement.
01:04:06If he was born in this house,
01:04:08maybe he'll have more respect.
01:04:15Right after I leave,
01:04:16lock and shut her this door.
01:04:18Then go in there and lock and bolt that door.
01:04:20And don't leave the room.
01:04:24I don't know what I'll do when I find him,
01:04:26but it won't be what they'll do.
01:04:27Now, don't leave the room.
01:04:29Don't answer the door
01:04:29until you hear it's me, Aaron,
01:04:31saying it's me, all right?
01:04:34Aaron, if he has to be killed,
01:04:37not their way.
01:05:22The destruction of the victim,
01:05:25and only two methods,
01:05:26of destruction are known.
01:05:29Death by burning,
01:05:31or death by shooting with bullets
01:05:32that have been blasted.
01:05:41the destruction of the victim,
01:05:45or death by shooting with bullets.
01:05:51I'm so hungry.
01:05:52Oh, my God.
01:05:52Oh, my God.
01:05:53Never seen it.
01:05:54I've never seen it.
01:05:54Oh, my God.
01:05:56It's been a madman.
01:05:58Oh, my God.
01:06:28Come on!
01:06:45Ferent! Ferent!
01:06:48Ferent! Ferent!
01:07:21Ferent! Ferent!
01:07:44Ferent! Ferent!
01:08:04Ferent!
01:08:44Ferent!
01:08:59Oh, Andrew!
01:09:05Oh!
01:09:08Oh!
01:09:11Oh!
01:09:13Oh!
01:09:17Oh!
01:09:24Oh!
01:09:28Oh!
01:09:45Oh!
01:09:49Oh!
01:09:51Oh!
01:09:53Oh!
01:09:55Oh!
01:09:56Oh, oh, oh!
01:10:15THE END
01:10:41THE END
01:11:04THE END
01:11:04Let's go.
01:12:00O'Hare, he knew.
01:12:05He made me fire at it.
01:12:08He knew.
01:12:10The bullet.
01:12:12He must have had them fast.
01:12:14He must have done that.
01:12:17He knew.
01:12:46Aaron, look.
01:12:47The bullet.
01:12:49The bullet.
