It made its home there. 00:02:46.408 --> 00:02:51.408 One year later it was known throughout the entire region... 00:02:51.617 --> 00:02:55.742 ...word spread of its conceived immortality. People began to think no one could hope to defeat it. 00:02:55.992 --> 00:03:01.783 Attack after attack, Gevaudan sunk deeper and deeper into the darkness. 00:03:50.783 --> 00:03:52.158 Stop! 00:04:12.658 --> 00:04:14.658 What do you want? 00:05:48.783 --> 00:05:51.617 What did he do? 00:05:51.908 --> 00:05:55.158 What did he do? - He's a thief. 00:05:56.408 --> 00:05:57.783 And the women? 00:05:57.992 --> 00:06:00.242 His daughter. A witch. 00:06:01.075 --> 00:06:03.783 I healed their horses and they refuse to pay. 00:06:03.992 --> 00:06:06.492 Don't listen to him. He's a mongrel. His word means nothing. 00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:08.283 Are the horses healed? - Yes. 00:06:21.075 --> 00:06:22.450 Go on. 00:06:46.408 --> 00:06:51.283 Welcome to "The Land of the Beast". Watch out for wolf traps... 00:06:53.825 --> 00:06:56.033 Knight Gregoire de Fronsac... 00:06:56.283 --> 00:07:00.783 ...accompanied by a man simply called Mani weren't hunters nor soldiers. 00:07:00.992 --> 00:07:02.742 The Kings very own naturalist... 00:07:02.950 --> 00:07:06.658 ...the Knight, in Paris, had a reputation for being freeminded and 00:07:06.867 --> 00:07:09.408 ...a person of intellect. The one who followed him... 00:07:09.783 --> 00:07:15.908 ...as if his shadow, was a stranger, unknown to anyone. 00:07:16.283 --> 00:07:17.658 When evening fell... 00:07:17.867 --> 00:07:21.075 ...they approached the castle of marquis d'Apcher... 00:07:21.325 --> 00:07:26.408 ...who gave them shelter as long as they had business in Gevaudan. 00:07:54.575 --> 00:07:59.533 Our people are not afraid of an ordinary wolf. This animal is something else. 00:08:00.367 --> 00:08:03.367 It fears men like all animals do... 00:08:03.575 --> 00:08:05.825 ...but it spares no one. Be it women or children. 00:08:06.075 --> 00:08:08.658 Have you seen it? - No. 00:08:08.908 --> 00:08:11.617 Pardon me, but how are you so sure it's an animal? 00:08:11.867 --> 00:08:14.867 Those who survived have all given the same description. 00:08:15.492 --> 00:08:19.658 It's much bigger then a mere wolf. It has no fear of bullets either. 00:08:19.908 --> 00:08:22.992 I understand your scepticism Mr. Fronsac. 00:08:23.617 --> 00:08:26.492 I don't believe in fairy tale creatures either... 00:08:26.742 --> 00:08:30.158 ...I had documents put together for you... 00:08:30.367 --> 00:08:34.242 ...consisting of the Beast's crimes. 00:08:34.825 --> 00:08:37.117 You can draw your own conclusion. 00:08:40.450 --> 00:08:43.700 My grandfather said you were fighting the English in Canada... 00:08:43.950 --> 00:08:48.867 Yes. I went there to study the local animals and their surroundings. 00:08:49.075 --> 00:08:52.450 ...but I came back wounded along with the rank of Captain. 00:08:54.783 --> 00:08:58.742 I arranged a hospital for the victims of the Beast. 00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:01.117 In an old abbey. 00:09:02.325 --> 00:09:06.325 A women from Lorciere... ...was heading back from a party... 00:09:06.533 --> 00:09:10.825 ...when the Beast attacked her. Help came and the Beast fled, vanished... 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.492 ...as a result her face was left horribly deformed... 00:09:14.533 --> 00:09:17.908 Tell me, Knight, how is Mr. Buffon? 00:09:19.450 --> 00:09:21.617 ...and how are things in Paris? 00:09:25.408 --> 00:09:27.533 ...and The Innocent One? Have you read it yet? 00:09:27.783 --> 00:09:34.158 It is late for philosophy. You're right. How about the theater? 00:09:34.408 --> 00:09:38.700 Do you know any comedians? What are they performing this winter? 00:09:39.783 --> 00:09:42.700 Put it right there.

What attacked him, was no mere wolf. 00:11:26.450 --> 00:11:29.158 The snout was longer and the teeth were like knifes. 00:11:37.575 --> 00:11:40.617 If it's not a wolf, what is it then? 00:11:40.867 --> 00:11:43.992 The Devil. - Knight. 00:11:44.367 --> 00:11:46.533 The Beast has killed again.

Let us dine. 00:17:58.117 --> 00:18:00.117 After you my Lady. 00:18:03.158 --> 00:18:06.158 We were in Saint-Laurence for merely twelve days before when we found the... 00:18:07.867 --> 00:18:11.450 ...strangest animal. Caught in a local fisherman's net. 00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:14.117 The Indians recounted tales of a "Holy Fish". 00:18:14.325 --> 00:18:17.700 I was convinced it was nothing but mere legend. A fairy tale. 00:18:17.950 --> 00:18:23.783 This fish was the size and shape of a trout... 00:18:23.992 --> 00:18:29.242 ...however, it's body was completely covered with a fur as black as poison. 00:18:30.658 --> 00:18:35.200 A furry trout? You're joking. - No, my Lord. 00:18:48.992 --> 00:18:51.283 The species called, Salmo Truta Dermopilla, is found in Canada. 00:18:51.492 --> 00:18:54.450 This is most bizarre. - The fur is so soft. 00:19:00.367 --> 00:19:02.283 Nature is extraordinary. 00:19:02.533 --> 00:19:04.658 The water is cold in the North... 00:19:05.033 --> 00:19:08.658 This proves the impossible sometimes becomes possible. 00:19:08.867 --> 00:19:12.867 This discovery must have brought you a lot of fame. 00:19:13.117 --> 00:19:15.117 I doubt he merits it. 00:19:15.325 --> 00:19:18.617 But I admit, Knight, you do have a nack as a comedian. 00:19:18.992 --> 00:19:21.658 If I had both my hands, I would applaud you. 00:19:22.575 --> 00:19:26.367 Jean-Francois... Please excuse him. 00:19:26.617 --> 00:19:31.742 Your son is right, Sir Earl, that animal doesn't exist. 00:19:31.950 --> 00:19:36.783 My embalmer in the Kings Garden is very skilled. Pardon me for the deception. 00:19:37.117 --> 00:19:41.200 So you say the Beast does not truly exist, save in our imaginations? 00:19:41.450 --> 00:19:43.533 ...are we then imbeciles? 00:19:43.908 --> 00:19:45.700 I am merely saying Madame... 00:19:45.908 --> 00:19:49.367 ...people have never seen dragons or a unicorns, simply in fairy tales. 00:19:49.617 --> 00:19:52.325 Lies sometimes become truth when told with a silver tongue. 00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:56.867 Careful, Knight. We do not know of such talk... 00:19:57.117 --> 00:20:00.992 By the way, are you a naturalist or philosopher? 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:03.033 Or worse... a comedian? 00:20:03.242 --> 00:20:06.533 I think our Knight is for certain, a Parisian. 00:20:06.742 --> 00:20:09.325 Enough talk about beasts and furry fish. 00:20:09.533 --> 00:20:13.158 Perhaps charades? 00:20:13.367 --> 00:20:18.075 I would like to perform a love poem. If the Countess has no objections... 00:20:18.283 --> 00:20:21.158 If it's not immoral. - Immoral? No, no. 00:20:21.533 --> 00:20:23.617 It's very chaste and pure. 00:20:23.950 --> 00:20:27.408 Nothing elaborate and far fetched. It just came to me in fact. 00:20:27.617 --> 00:20:30.158 I call it "The Wolf"... The Wolf. 00:20:35.242 --> 00:20:36.658 "I let down my guard, just a little. 00:20:36.867 --> 00:20:40.325 Not knowing of evil, My eyes fall upon you. 00:20:40.575 --> 00:20:44.367 Yours upon me, they strike my heart. 00:20:44.617 --> 00:20:48.575 The wolf, the wolf, the wolf" 00:21:02.950 --> 00:21:04.617 Will I see you again soon? 00:21:04.825 --> 00:21:10.450 Do you have other mystical creatures to show me? - You have already rushed to a conclusion about me. 00:21:10.658 --> 00:21:14.450 Allow me to change your mind. - You can try. 00:21:14.658 --> 00:21:17.408 Will you be attending Duhamel's great hunt? - Certainly. 00:21:17.783 --> 00:21:21.867 I forbid you. It's far too dangerous. 00:21:22.117 --> 00:21:25.450 Obedience is the first virtue of young women. 00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:27.408 This young man speaks the truth. 00:21:32.825 --> 00:21:38.408 It was on that day, in Gevaudan, the biggest hunt to ever take place in France. 00:21:39.575 --> 00:21:43.367 The King promised six thousand pounds, to any man that could capture the Beast. 00:21:43.617 --> 00:21:50.742 Thousands of peasants, soldiers and hunters, spanning from across the entire region, made an appearance. 00:21:51.117 --> 00:21:57.450 Within a few hours, we had forgotten our primary reason for coming... ...to capture the fabled Beast that hunted us. 00:22:57.533 --> 00:23:02.867 You have all been given a map.
