Whoa, whoa.
Settle down there.

Hey. Just a wolf.

You've heard a wolf before.

Thattaboy.

Hello?

Hello?

Cat, you almost
had eight lives.

Billy...I want you
to wait here.

I'm gonna ride on ahead.

Could be an ambush,
sheriff.

Then we don't want all of us
riding into it.

Now, if there's any trouble,
use that thing.

Yes, sir.

What happened here, fella?
I heard some shots.

Well, that was me. I, uh,
ran into an unfriendly wolf.

A wolf?

I can't remember ever seeing
a wolf around these parts.

Farther north, maybe.

Mind if I ask
what you're doing here?

Not at all. I'm
waiting for the stage.

Your name wouldn't happen
to be West, would it?

That's right.
James West.

I'm Sheriff Twilley.

How do you do, sheriff?

Had to make sure,
Mr. West.

This ain't something a man
wants to take a chance on.

I guess you know what this
is all about, Mr. West.

Yeah. Security V.D.I.
to New Orleans.

V.D.I.?

Very Distinguished
Individual.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess you
might call him that, all right.

Mr. Gordon says he's
gonna be King Stefan IX

if he makes it back to
his own country in one piece.

Well, that ought to be
no problem, sheriff.

We'll stay here tonight
as planned,

then we'll leave in the morning
for the rail junction.

Yeah, well, I think there's been
a change in plans, Mr. West.

It seems Stefan wants to
visit a place called Luca.

Oh, why?

I haven't been told.

Mr. Gordon has been
running the show.

Is that him?

No. That's Dr. Hanska.

Captain Dushan...
cavalry.

Look, if someone's out
to assassinate him,

I wish he wouldn't make
himself so conspicuous.

Sir, I, uh...

Kneel, peasant.

As a decoy,
you're a sitting duck.

I know.

Perfectly willing
to abdicate,

but nobody else
wants a job.

Long live the king.

Thank you.
Hey, what did you-?

Artie.

He's been a date farmer
in Northern Arizona territory

for the past 15 years.

Big brother
the king, Kashmir III,

kicked him out of
the country.

Last month,
he died without any heirs.

So he ended up
on the throne, huh?

That's right.
Come on, I'll present you.

What is this place?

Uh, it's called Murdock's
Corners, Your Highness.

Uh, we'll stay here
for the night.

How much longer
to Luca?

Well, if we get an early
start in the morning,

we should be there
before noon.

May I present my associate,
Your Highness? Mr. James West.

Sir.
Mr. West, you have been hurt.

Uh, yes, sir. Uh, but
fortunately, it's not serious.

Uh, what happened?

I was attacked
by a wolf.

Is it all right

if I get out too?

Mr. West...

my daughter, Leandra.

How do you do,
miss, um...?

Novocovic.

But if you find that
too difficult,

then just Leandra.

Captain Dushan...

you will arrange accommodations
for Princess Leandra.

I won't be a princess until
you're a king, Father.

Since we will be
in Luca tomorrow,

it's not too soon to start
preparing yourself.

Hello?!

Artie, there's
no one here. I checked.

Oh.

Well, Sam will be
around here somewhere.

Until then, I want you
to get all these people

settled upstairs, sheriff.
Yes, sir.

Thank you.
Your Highness?

Doctor?

Hey, listen-

Artie, why the change
in plans?

Oh, he wants to go
to Luca.

What's in Luca?
A bunch of his countrymen.

He's not a guy
you can argue with.

He's having a local priest there
perform the coronation rights.

Listen-
Why doesn't he wait

till he gets back
to the old country?

Arizona's my home, Mr. West.

I would be content...

to remain a date farmer

for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry.

But I no longer have
such freedom of choice.

I have an allegiance
to the past...

an obligation
to the future.

And my apologies,
sir.

I am sure the demands of duty
are not unknown to you.

Now, that incident
with the wolf...

Uh, it, uh, came out of nowhere.

Went right for my throat,

before I managed to get off
a couple of shots.

But did you kill it?

I hit it.

Didn't even slow it down.

It left when
its mate howled.

Well, then it
crawled off to die.

No, it didn't crawl,
Artie. It ran.

Well, how far can a wolf go
with two.45 slugs in him, Jim?

We could settle
the question

by following
the trail of blood.

Oh, well, to tell the truth,
sir, I don't even care.

But I care!

It may seem trivial to you,
but I assure you, it is not.

It is imperative that
we know that the wolf is dead.

Sir, anything that's lost
this much blood,

I'm willing to concede
the animal's dead.

There must be
no doubt.

I don't think
there is, sir.

Look over there.

He hasn't been dead long.

Jim. Over here.

Another one?

No.

It's a man.

That's got to be Sam Murdock,
the storekeeper.

He must have met the wolf.

Look at his throat. Wolves don't
make marks like that.

Come to think of it,
what does?

You are wrong, Mr. Gordon.

There is a breed of wolf
that could do it.

So much for Murdock.

It's not exactly all sweetness
and light around here, is it?

I'd feel a lot better
if I knew how a-

A wolf could take
two.45 slugs

and then run a hundred yards
in the brush.

Yeah.

That's just it.
Wolves don't do that.

All right, Artie,
what's on your mind?

Uh, you know I'm not
a superstitious man, Jim.

This whole thing smacks
of Central European witchery.

Here. Look at this,
will you?

Legends of Lycanthropy.

Where did you
get it?

Found it inside
the stagecoach.

Somebody on that trip
has an awful lot of interest

in lycanthropy.

What's that?

The study of werewolves.

"Whereupon on the fifth night
with the full moon,

"the body of the beast
will be inhabited

"by the mind
and soul of man,

"and he shall track
as the beast tracks,

devouring his prey
in most unholy places."

What is it?
There.

There. It's
some kind of animal.

It's my horse.

What did you
run away for?

Now, listen. Why don't
I have a look around anyway.

Will you excuse me,
please?

I'm sorry I screamed.

I don't usually,
but this place is so eerie.

Don't you
feel it?

You shouldn't be out alone,
princess.

I wish you wouldn't
call me that.

Better get used to it
after tomorrow.

After tomorrow,
I'll be a prisoner.

It won't be so bad.

There'll be parties and balls
and palace dances.

I like a square
dance.

And there'll be, uh,
handsome officers.

They wouldn't last a day
in a western saddle.

And there's another thing.

When your Prince Charming
comes along,

he'll be a real prince.

Oh, he'll be real,
all right.

Handpicked by
the royal matchmaker.

He'll have
blue blood,

but not much
of it.

No chin, but lots of stomach.

And besides,
he'll be a foreigner.

We'll have to carry on
our courtship

through an interpreter.

Now, now.

Crying's
not the way.

For a princess?

For a beautiful woman.

Jim, what do you
make of that?

It's Morse code.
Right.

It keeps repeating one word
over and over again.

The spelling is awful.
Look at that.

Those words are not
in my vocabulary.

What does it say, James?

"Vrkalak."

I've heard my father

use that word,

but I don't know
what it means.

Leandra, it is late.

We have a long trip
ahead of us.

Go to your room, please.

Good night, James.

Good night.

Artemus.

Good night.

I wish to go
up there, Mr. West.

Would you know what vrkalak
means, Your Highness?

It's an old
Magyar-Croatian word.

Mr. West, please,
saddle my horse.

Well, but what does it mean,
Your Highness?

It means someone
is in great distress.

All right.

I'll ride up and
have a look around.

I'm going with you,
Mr. West.

Look...it could very well
be a trap. Stay here.

It'd be a lot safer
that way, sir.

On a night like this,
Mr. Gordon,

none of us are safe
anywhere.

Captain Dushan!

Your Highness?

You will guard
the Princess Leandra.

With my life.

I don't want her left
unprotected

for one single moment.

We've been assigned by the
President of the United States

to protect you.

I'm afraid you're not
going anywhere tonight.

How are you going to
prevent me, Mr. West?

Well...

that does create
a problem.

You're going to use force?

Oh, hardly.
I wouldn't dream of it.

I've never used force
on a king in my life.

You may come along or stay here,
whichever you choose.

Tough man to argue with,
isn't he?

Uh, Captain Dushan...

would you happen to know
what the word vrkalak means?

Vrkalak?

Yeah.

No, Mr. Gordon.

I've never heard
the word before.

Can't be more than
a half-mile now.

Yes.

If I may make a suggestion
for your royal approval...

we arrive
unannounced.

Very well.
Dismount.

I wish we knew

what we were gonna
run into up there.

Another dead wolf, I hope.

A silver bullet.

I've carried it
for 15 years.

For a werewolf?

For a man named
Talamantes.

Whatever else he is...

I'll leave that
for you to decide.

Talamantes.

He's from your country?

Yes.

He wants to keep you
from the throne.

No, Mr. West.

He wants me
to have the throne...

provided he has my soul.

Whatever else Talamantes is...

He isn't here.

Wait.

Wait for what?

For the trap to close.

Well, if you knew
it was a trap...

There was never
any doubt of that.

Talamantes hardly bothered
to conceal it.

You mean, you just obliged him
by coming up here?

Because it has to be settled.

If not now,
some other time.

Why here?
Why on his terms?

He's welcome to any advantage
he can find.

My only advantage, Your Majesty,

is knowing how much
you despise me.

I make use of that to petition
for truce between us.

Why?

So that we may consider a matter
of far greater importance

our beloved country.

You may have five minutes.

I thank you, Your Majesty.

It is strange, is it not,

to confront each other again
after so many years

and so far from home?

The last time-

I remember the last time.

I put a bullet in you.

Then nothing has changed
between us.

Did you think it had?

I needed to be sure.

Now, I must urge you to renounce
your claim to the throne.

In whose favor?

Oh, there are several

little princelings
to choose from.

I mean, which one
have you managed to control,

as you controlled
my brother Kashmir

with your evil magic?

Kashmir was an incompetent
and a weakling.

Without my guidance,

he would have reduced
the country to chaos.

I shall try
to be strong enough

to manage
without your guidance.

Your strength has never
been doubted, Stefan.

Only your experience.

You are a foreigner
in your own country.

You must renounce.

Never.

Very well.

Then I must tell you that
as of five minutes ago,

your daughter
fell into my hands.

Do you change your mind now?

Now, before you answer that,
take this into consideration.

He has your daughter,

but we have
him.

I should have thought

you would have learned
your lesson,

Mr. West.

Push him away!

Can you make it
back?

Yeah.

Let us go back quickly,
gentlemen.

I think he was bluffing,

but...I am concerned
for my daughter.

Yeah.

Captain Dushan!

Captain Dushan!

Your Majesty...
I was overpowered.

Whoever it was
took me by surprise.

When I came to,
the princess was gone.

In the old emperor's army,

in which I had
the honor to serve...

if a soldier failed
to protect his sovereign,

he put the revolver
to his head.

Sir, I request
permission to withdraw.

Granted.

Sir, we'll need
Captain Dushan

to help recover
your daughter.

Captain Dushan...

would you accompany me?

You may yet find a better use
for your revolver.

Your Majesty.

I'm sorry, sir, but this time,
you're not going.

You are being insubordinate.

Yes, sir, and it was
a little late in coming.

If you hadn't gone up
on that hill,

your daughter wouldn't
have been kidnapped.

I don't need you
to tell me that, Mr. West.

Now,
step aside.

Not a chance.

I thought you had
more discretion

than to try to use force
on a king.

You're not a king

until you get
to Luca.

You're gonna stay here
if I have to hog-tie you.

Very well, Mr. West.

I will not argue with you.

Good night.

What is it,
doctor?

A stroke,
and not his first.

He suffered one
two weeks ago

when he was informed
of his brother's death.

Can he make it to Luca?

Jim, the man may be dying.

He's been dying
for two weeks, Artie.

That's why he had to be
crowned right away.

He didn't think
he could make it

to the old
country.

I see.

If he could die a king...

His daughter could live queen.

He has to be crowned
or it may not go to her.

There are other claimants
to the throne.

Doctor, can he make it to Luca?

He would never
survive a journey.

I doubt he has more
than a few hours at best.

Listen,
I've got an idea, Jim.

If he can't make it to Luca,
why can't I bring Luca to him?

The priest. Anyone else
that's needed.

Take the stage.

I'll go after Leandra.

Please...do not
scream again, princess.

It offends me.

What is that?

This is simply
one of my wondrous serums.

It will relieve you
of the problems

of ruling
your country.

With this...

a man may rule rulers.

But my father's the ruler.

He's going to become the king.

To dominate a man like Stefan
would require a lethal dose.

This...simply
weakens the will

of those who are softer
to begin with.

You're wasting your time.

I'm my father's daughter.

In a little while...

the serum will have
done its work.

It will draw a curtain...

across your inner mind...

which can be penetrated
in only one way.

Now, sleep.

Sleep.

When you awaken,

no memory of this
will remain.

You will function
as you always have...

until I give
the invocation.

Whenever you hear

or read the word
vrkalak.

Vrkalak.

You will obey
my every command...

my every wish,
my every whim.

Come on.

Mm. Oh, hello, James.

Are you all right?

Wonderful.

Wait a minute.

Where are we?

We're in a mine shaft.
Keep your voice down.

You were kidnapped
last night by Talamantes.

Who?

Oh, James,
don't be ridiculous.

I couldn't
sleep through that.

Shh.

Ah, the sleeping
princess

has awakened.

Who are you?

One of your loyal subjects,
Highness.

What is your command?

Raise your hands.

Highness?

I command you
to raise your hands.

Because if you don't,
Mr. West...

Will shoot you.

Mr. West,

I have tried to discourage
your intrusion

in a matter that is
no concern of yours.

I see now that more drastic
measures will be needed.

What did you have in mind?

You will soon discover
that for yourself.

Not soon.

You're under arrest.

Under arrest?
For what crime?

Try kidnapping.

The princess?
A ridiculous charge.

Ask her yourself.

Were you kidnapped,
Highness?

I don't know.

I don't know how
I got here.

Well, don't worry about it,
I'll figure out something.

I warn you, Mr. West.

I'm warning you.

Get moving
and stay close.

Professor,
keep it in mind

that this gun is firmly
against your spine.

Your friends
make one move,

you're gonna
have a backache.

Should I warn them?

I'd advise it.

Last night you had a small
demonstration of my powers.

The serum
makes my wolves

almost impervious
to pain or injury.

So you succeed
in killing one of them...

I have many wolves.

How many bullets
do you have?

One bullet will
shut off your power.

Tell me, Mr. West...

have you ever
heard of the word vrkalak?

Well, what does
it mean? Standoff?

Not quite.

It is almost
untranslatable.

But in this case...

it means you are alone,
unguarded...

and you may expect
a smashing blow on the head...

now.

How is he?

He has never
regained consciousness.

I brought the priest.
Try to rouse him, please.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,
can you hear me?

Mm.

My daughter...

Where-? Where-?
Where is she?

I...

No. Please, sir.

Don't excite
yourself.

My daughter's safe?

Yes, sir. She's fine.

Mr. West is bringing her back. Uh.

Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Princess.

You all right?

Where's Jim?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him
since yesterday.

How did you get away?

Don't ask me
to explain now.

I'm so confused.

Your Majesty.
She's here.

Leandra has come.

Why does my father
look that way?

Your father's
a very sick man.

Pardon me.
Oh. Of course.

Leandra.

Daughter.

Yes, Papa?

You have escaped
from Talamantes in time.

What do you mean, Papa?

Who's Talamantes?

It's too late.

It has
happened...

just like your uncle Kashmir.

Your Majesty.
It is too late.

There must be no...

Don't let them crown me.

I must not become king.

He is dying,
Hanska.

We must have
a king.

He must be
crowned now.

Jim.

We can't let him
be crowned, Artie.

Wait a minute.
I crown you king

and emperor of
the holy empire,

Stefan IX.

I think they crowned
a dead man.

The king is dead.

The king is dead.

Long live
the queen.

My father tried to stop
the coronation

at the last moment.

Why?

I don't understand.

Jim tried to
stop it too.

Why?

Well, you've been captured,
mesmerized, hypnotized-

I don't know the word.

Talamantes did it
to your Uncle Kashmir,

and he's done it
to you.

Only you're not
even aware of it.

Your Majesty...

the newspaper people
are still waiting.

What shall I
tell them?

Tell them I shall receive them
for five minutes.

Thank you,
Your Majesty.

James.

James...if I am dominated,

there is nothing
I can do for myself.

I appeal to you for help.

You must break the spell
here and now.

I can't, Leandra.
I don't know how.

Once I'm back home,
I'm beyond hope.

Help me.

There is something we can try
to do, Your Highness.

How does that look
to you, Jim?

But you're gonna have
to do exactly as we say.

Anything.

Her Majesty,
Queen Leandra I

has graciously consented
to an audience.

She's very tired. You will
have exactly five minutes.

Members of the press...

"a few short hours ago,

"I succeeded to the throne
of my father,

"the late King
and Emperor Stefan IX.

"It was a position
I neither sought nor wanted.

"I now find it impossible
to carry this heavy burden

"and to discharge my duties

"without the help

and support of the man
I love."

And now...

as I affix
my signature...

to this letter
of abdication...

I renounce my claims...

as herein specified.

Um, will you excuse me,
Your Highness?

Excuse me.

That will be all.
Thank you very much.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night. Good night.

Excuse me,
Your Highness.

Your Majesty...

words cannot express my feelings

to have gained a queen,

then lost her.

All in one day.

Thank you, Adam.

James...what if Talamantes
doesn't come?

Well, your abdication means
he's lost control of the throne.

He'll come to regain
control over you.

To compel me to renounce
my renunciation?

He's not going to
give up a kingdom.

Believe me, he'll come.
Just wait.

What is it?

Leandra, what is it?

Nothing.

A note from Adam.

If you must know...

...it says I have to kill you.

Put it down.

I'm sorry, James...

but I must do it.

You don't have to do it.

I must.

Leandra.

My darling.

Leandra...where is she?

Not far away,
I assure you.

What matters is that
she obeyed my command.

Leandra will be
of no use to you

so long as I am alive.

Stefan!

How-?

You said
he was dead.

He was. I swear.
I helped bury him.

Fool.

Now he will be.

Kill him!

Artie.

I'm all right.
I'm all right.

So much for
silver bullets.

And werewolves.

Talamantes had those animals
so filled with serum,

it took a bullet
this size to kill them.

I'm sorry about the disguise,
Your Highness.

It was cruel, I know,

but necessary to shock you
out of your spell.

You're forgiven,
Mr. Gordon.

Suddenly...everything
became very clear to me.

Who he was,
what he was.

Well, he's out
of your life now.

And so are
his powers.

And now, it's time
for you to...

get back
on the throne.
