THE SHE-WOLF

- Professor Fern�ndez. - Yes.

Come in.

- Dr. Bernstein! - Prof. Fern�ndez!

- Are you surprised to see me? - Pleasantly surprised.

Why don't you sent me a letter saying you would come?

I decided to come at the last minute. I had no time to warn you.

Come in. Come in, please.

Are you returning from some medical congress?

I'm so far away from everything that I don't know anything of what's happening outside.

No. I came exclusively to talk to you.

- With me? - Yes, professor.

- Do you have any trouble? - No.

I came to ask you the hand of your daughter Clarissa.

Our relationship began when you was in Europe.

We decided to keep our love in secret, but...

I love her, and I came here to ask her to marry me.

- What about her? - She wrote me, giving in to my requests.

I'm sure you would accept it.

- Are you upset, sir? - No, no!

It was something so unexpected that...

Will you spend a few days with us, I suppose?

Yes, of course.

It needs to reflect on those decisions.

- Such precipitation would be dangerous. - Dangerous?

Dangerous for happiness, of course.

Who could have killed them?

I don't understand. They opened the chest and tore the heart.

It's disgusting!

Any conclusions, doctor?

Well, these two are with open chest...

and the third one has deep wounds...

if someone tried to tear your heart as well.

Maybe the killer had not time, or something.

Maybe.

He tried to defend himself when it was attacked or tried to escape!

What the hell could have happened?

Why don't you stay here?

We would work together.

You could continue with your research here.

And your presence would be helpful in my studies about...

metaplasia.

There's blood here.

Certainly she dug her nails into the body of her attacker and bled it.

With a sample of this blood we shall know who or what attacked them.

But how?

Each species has a different type of blood.

Examining at the microscope we shall know...

what scale its logic belongs.

- We'll have to send it to the city? - Oh, no.

In the Prof. Fernandez's lab we can do it.

Here we have a witness that may determinate the killer.

A sample of his own blood.

This microscope is one of the best that's available.

Look.

An authentic operating room.

I use it in interventions in small invertebrates.

As you can see, I got the best and most modern equipment.

Oh, and the most important thing!

This door.

I call it chamber of miracles.

And this is the result of my job.

All these beings are alive. They were sharply frozen...

suspending the cellular process and leaving it static.

Opting for the disintegration of life.

We couldn't say they're sleeping. Their lives are in my hands.

But I could thaw them I return them back to life, if I want.

Could you tell me what kind of studies I'm doing, Dr. Bernstein?

No.

Mutations of nature.

The metamorphosis of the cells.

They're all equal and all succeed themselves.

[Translation missing]

and others, something different, like a moth?

Knowing the answer, I could tell why a living being...

can become another one completely distinctive to its species.

So distinct as...

Let's say...

A wolf.

Who's there?

It's me, Mom. Open the door!

Full moon?

And what's the relation with the studies you've been performing?

So many.

The influence of the moon exerts great power over the cellular activity.

And that's when you can appreciate...

the mystery of its wonderful job.

Here are all the notes about my experiments.

Any problem?

No problem, Sir.

You can rest now.

What a strange guy. Who is he?

Crumba. He's like a watchdog.

A gypsy who camped around here.

Once I saved his life and now he has a debt with me.

A dream?

In fact, a nightmare.

It's horrible. It happens almost every night.

I get out of my bed and I can't sleep anymore.

What you dream about?

I'm running through the woods...

at night...

I feel that someone comes and I hide myself.

Someone is after me.

I feel an uncontrollable rage.

I go out and...

Everything becomes confused.

I see my hands full of blood.

- I don't know, that's why I ignore it! - But I have to know!

- Is it something related to my dream? - Please!

Why do you keep me and my sister locked up?

- Say it! - It's your father's orders.

I can't stand this situation! It has to be some reason!

If your father order it, I have to obey.

You know him. Never give explanations to anyone.

It's ok.

But it seems instead of a house, we live in a prison!

- What's the problem? It's her again? - Leave me alone!

[Missing translation]

- She is crazy. - Don't talk about your sister like that.

Dr. Bernstein is downstairs with your father.

Alejandro!

- I thought you wouldn't come. - Yeah, I was just a little late.

Metaplasia. The transformation of a tissue to another.

Isn't amazing?

Yes, it's fascinating.

I must confess that I'm studying something similar.

Also breaks with all scientific conventions.

- Lycanthropy? - Yes.

The transformation of a man into a wolf.

Or a woman in she-wolf.

Science denies the existence of the lycanthropy.

Conceptualizes it as something unreal.

- Do you have the same opinion? - No.

Because I have powerful reasons to believe it.

It goes much further than a mere study about a disease.

Disease? No, professor.

The lycanthropy goes far beyond the pathological concepts.

Science never could explain it...

because this is a mystery that only I could decipher.

- Can we talk privately? - Of course. You can go.

Prepare the guest room.

Dr. Bernstein will stay a few days with us.

And why did he come?

- To ask the hand of Clarissa. - Oh, no!

My God!

Nothing is impossible.

You see? I am here with you.

I'm afraid.

- Afraid of what? - To awaken her.

It's not illusion, Clarissa. It's reality.

Look at me.

It was exactly what I dreamed.

You came for me. You was kissing me, but...

suddenly, everything becomes confused and...

and you're no longer with me...

and something falls before my eyes...

There is nothing to fear.

Take me with you. I am prisoner of my father here.

Locked up in my room every time it's full moon.

I not even dare to complain.

Soon all this will be over.

Stop torturing yourself.

B-O-N-E.

Very good. You was really good.

I think it's enough for today.

How can I thank you, Miss?

- Do you think it's worth? - She's a very intelligent girl.

She learned the whole alphabet in a week.

She will be able to hear again? Or speak at least a little?

She already feels vibrations in her throat.

We must be patient.

She have to lose the stiffness of her vocal cords.

And when it happens, she will speak.

In the end, it's always the same.

To die.

But not even those who died can escape from its destiny.

The life of a mortal one realizes time only in an instant.

Because after death, comes the eternity.

The region without dimensions. Infinite in time and space.

Reaching it is the most important.

It's there where our love will last forever.

Life will soon pass.

- Good night, Clarissa. - Good night.

- Who is he? - It's Dr. Gonzalez.

- A doctor? - Yes. A friend of my father.

And what he's been doing here at this hour?

Sometimes they work until dawn.

A few hours ago, one of my best friends was killed.

That's why I couldn't come.

Why are you trembling?

The night scares me, I can't help it.

Take it easy. We've talked about it.

You don't have to be afraid.

I need to talk to you...

But...

where no one can hear us.

Why can't you tell me now?

Tomorrow.

I'll be waiting for you, my love.

Three deaths?

Yes, I have samples of their blood.

I need to check on Herschel scale what zoological species it belongs.

Only one of them managed to save from mutilation.

My God!

- I don't understand. - What's happening?

I already went over all kinds of blood from Herschel's scale...

And there's nothing equal to the sample have you got?

That's righit.

- Is it human blood? - Neither.

Do you want to confirm?

Notice how the crystals change their shape.

I need you to understand me clearly.

This marriage will not take place!

Did you hear me?

My decision is definitive.

Listen, Professor. When I give a step, I never turn back.

I will marry Clarissa and it's also definitive.

About this marriage...

What you intend to do?

When Clarissa be my wife, I will decide our lives.

Your lives?

Today three people has been killed.

Murdered by a lycanthrope.

Go!

I've been attacked...

by a lycanthrope...

A lycanthrope...

Everything will depend on his physical resistance.

There's nothing else we can do.

He will die?

Will depend of his organic recovery.

It's something that takes time and...

and he just left a few minutes of life.

- I can do it. - What?

Canceling the cells and vital organs...

preventing the tissue's decomposition.

How?

Freezing the body until his recovery.

I've done with diseased plants and I have relived smaller animals before.

I take the responsibility. Come on, give me a hand.

Let's get out of here. It's dangerous.

The temperature can drop quickly.

I have good news, inspector.

In the evening, we capture the killers.

Two?

- Two? - Yes, a man and a beast.

We found them wandering through the woods.

Come please.

These are the killers. Beware of the dog, it's a beast.

Jack?

Jack likes to make friends.

Don't trust them, inspector.

Dogs are not hypocrites like men!

If he demonstrate confidence...

that's what it is.

Beautiful dog. Since when you have it?

Since I was a kid, sir.

Where you are from?

From very distant lands. On the other side of the sea.

I was born in a small village.

It's not even on the map.

And what are you doing here?

It is a crime a man take his dog to take a ride?

What's meaning of this medallion?

It is a distinctive, sir.

It indicates that Jack received a special training.

This dog is a licar.

Licar?

A dog trained to fight against a lycanthrope.

- Lycanthrope? - Lycanthrope means...

werewolf!

- Man what?

Werewolf!

It's an old superstition of theirs.

Come on.

Let me see his belongings.

This man doesn't need to steal.

Money, a map of the region, a dagger and a mute whistle.

Mute for you and me...

but not for the dog. Pay attention.

What is it?

- A knife with an ivory blade. - An ivory blade?

What's the use for it?

I don't know. It has something written in Latin.

Could it be translated as:

"Use it only at the time of revenge."

You see, doctor? The cells are working at their minimum function.

However still has life.

It's impressive.

No one would imagine that this frozen body is a living human being.

Something very important, doctor. No one else should know about it.

It' a professional secret between you and me.

Okay, Professor, but...

what about your wife and your daughters?

What will say when they ask about Dr. Bernstein?

- Did you see him leave? - He is gone.

At where? When?

That's what your father told me. He will spend a few days off.

Where are you going?

I'm going to talk to my father. I'll ask him myself.

Wait, let me find out.

Go to your room and when I discover something, I'll tell you.

Open the door! Someone, please!

The only thing that calms its horrible greed...

it's the heart of his victims.

That's crazy.

If a werewolf bites you and you survive...

That's enough. You're already infected by the curse.

So you too will become forever...

a werewolf!

Neither steel or bullets can kill a lycanthrope.

They can only be killed...

by the prey of a licar like Jack.

Or a dagger with an ivory blade.

Many people travelled the world keeping track of a human wolf...

who had killed a loved one.

Until they face the beast.

And then...

There's no choice but to kill!

Or to die.

No! No, my God! How is it possible?

You're free.

Last night, while you stay here...

an old woman was killed the same manner as the others.

Come on, hurry!

The regeneration of his cells has been completed.

The Dr. Bernstein's life is in my hands more than ever.

And it's more valuable than any other human being.

- Yes, I understand. - I'm afraid not.

[Missing translation]

When he wakes up, maybe he can tell us who or what was to blame for so many deaths.

I must go to the North.

Tomorrow I will be away, sir.

I must visit some patients.

Good night, professor.

It's me, Crumba.

- Any news, Inspector? - None.

Could you discovered something analyzing that blood?

Anything.

- The professor is? - Yes, he's in the laboratory.

- See you later. - See ya.

I'm sorry to bother you, professor, but...

I feel that my duty is to be with you at least tonight.

Some fear?

I'm not so sure, but...

after what happened here last night...

Respect the mourning of this house!

Clarissa...

Let me go!

Make her shut up! Make her stop!

Come with me! Come, please!

Why did you do this to me? Why didn't you make her stop?

Try to understand! Everything what happened has left her disturbed!

Clarissa has no feelings!

And you let her do whatever she wants!

Alicia, you must understand! Clarissa is sick!

Sick?

I can 't stand it anymore.

What was this? A cry?

Adelita!

Wait! You can be wrong!

No! I'm not!

Let him go alone. Come with me.

Lock yourself in your room.

No, I want to be with you.

What is it?

Ivory.

And what are you going to do?

Something I should have done a long time ago.

Help me!

Clarissa!

Oh, my God! Why?

After death, comes the region without dimensions...

where time and space are endless.

Reaching it is the most important.

This is where our love

will last forever!
