00:06:01 What time did you get back
00:06:06 You don't wanna know.
00:06:08 Was it worth it?
00:06:12 - Yes.
00:06:16 I did it the old-fashioned way.
00:06:19 - What do you mean?
00:06:49 The boss can-
00:06:51 - Morning, Roy. Morning, Mary.
00:06:53 Mary, what time
00:06:57 I had no idea you had one.
00:07:01 - Coffee, Roy?
00:07:05 A wolf bit me.
00:07:07 I just asked.
00:07:09 What time
00:07:11 Thanks.
00:07:13 You going to Alden's party tonight?
00:07:15 Probably.
00:07:17 It's a little Roman to invite everybody
00:07:20 ...to let them know
00:07:22 Right.
00:07:24 You have no doctor's appointment...
00:07:26 ...but the doctor says he'll see you
00:07:30 What I came in to say is...
00:07:32 ...if you get the axe tonight,
00:07:34 And so do I.
00:07:36 Now, listen.
00:07:39 I forbid you.
00:07:41 I forbid you to take any action
00:07:45 Right. Maude Waggins
00:07:50 I cannot write for a conglomerate.
00:07:54 First of all,
00:07:57 He's an ordinary billionaire.
00:07:58 And secondly...
00:08:01 ...I'm not sure if I'm going to be here
00:08:05 What?
00:08:07 What are you talking about?
00:08:09 You're the senior editor.
00:08:12 My reputation has been in question
00:08:16 ...that no semiliterate 14-year-old
00:08:20 Oh, bullshit.
00:08:23 Sit down, Maude.
00:08:25 The good news is...
00:08:27 ...the head of marketing
00:08:31 ...and if I leave,
00:08:34 And since I know
00:08:38 ...it may give me some leverage.
00:08:40 I'll leave with you too.
00:08:43 Come on.
00:08:47 Let's go and see your protégé.
00:08:50 So go do what you do.
00:08:53 Willie, just the man I wanted to see.
00:08:57 - Maude Waggins.
00:08:59 Not yet, but you saved my life...
00:09:01 ...because upon reading What About
00:09:05 You realized you had to write.
00:09:06 I realized I had to stop writing...
00:09:08 ...because I realized
00:09:13 But how nice that
00:09:15 I adore you.
00:09:17 I taught him to do that.
00:09:18 Yes, until I met Will, I used to punch
00:09:22 Please come in.
00:09:25 Maude wants to go with us
00:09:28 You wouldn't know
00:09:30 ...what her contract calls for,
00:09:33 She's obligated to one more book...
00:09:35 ...and then we get a first look
00:09:37 One more book. Good.
00:09:40 How about an 80-page reminiscence
00:09:44 Well, whatever you say. There are
00:09:47 Perfect.
00:09:51 You are a rarity, Mr. Swinton:
00:09:53 a loyal man
00:09:58 Bye, Will.
00:10:00 - I'll see you at Jason's.
00:10:09 You are such a polished ass-kisser,
00:10:13 Hey, I kiss them like I see them.
00:10:16 A wolf in Vermont?
00:10:20 You weren't there, Ralph.
00:10:23 You sure it wasn't a husky
00:10:26 I mean, after all, it was night,
00:10:29 Full moon.
00:10:30 And to answer your question,
00:10:34 I was staring straight at it.
00:10:37 I see. Whatever you say.
00:10:40 It's funny.
00:10:42 ...I've given in the last few months.
00:10:45 My wife's sister-in-law
00:10:48 A raccoon chased her up on her porch
00:10:52 Last summer, the son of a friend...
00:10:53 ...sustained brain damage
00:10:56 His kid was in front of his pool.
00:10:57 And the next thing you know,
00:11:01 - Is he all right?
00:11:03 Your friend's son.
00:11:05 No, you idiot, he has brain damage.
00:11:19 I don't think of Time Warner...
00:11:21 ...as another giant
00:11:24 ...but as a bunch
00:11:26 ...because I just don't believe money
00:11:29 - Am I insane?
00:11:35 Oh, he's such a charming man.
00:11:37 So supposedly...
00:11:38 ...because the rain forest
00:11:42 ...all these new viruses are going
00:11:46 ...and destroy vast segments
00:11:50 I'm only quoting The New Yorker,
00:11:53 Every upscale magazine
00:11:55 ...that the world will end
00:11:58 Well, you could make a case
00:12:02 That art is dead
00:12:06 That instead of art,
00:12:11 ...gay senior citizens...
00:12:13 ...women who've been raped
00:12:18 An exploration, in depth, of why
00:12:25 Well.
00:12:30 - Well, time to fill up the glass.
00:12:32 - Yes.
00:12:38 For God's sakes, relax. Eat something.
00:12:43 I didn't like the food.
00:12:47 Gee, you're fun to eat with.
00:12:49 Mr. Alden would like to see you
00:12:51 ...whenever you're ready.
00:12:54 Never send to know
00:12:57 - Hello. We'll be right out.
00:13:00 We're gonna see the horses.
00:13:02 Will...
00:13:04 ...just remember who you are.
00:13:06 Just charm the bastard.
00:13:08 You can be charming
00:13:10 Why is he doing it this way?
00:13:12 He probably thinks
00:13:20 Oh, that's the funniest story
00:13:24 Cigar?
00:13:25 Don't mind if I do.
00:13:29 Thank you.
00:13:34 I want you...
00:13:36 ...to think about Europe, Will.
00:13:40 Eastern Europe, particularly.
00:13:44 There's a whole new market
00:13:48 I think, God and currency willing...
00:13:51 ...that the entire continent
00:13:54 ...both economically and culturally.
00:14:00 I see.
00:14:06 Then my area will no longer be
00:14:10 ...after the takeover?
00:14:14 Look, there's nothing personal.
00:14:18 You're clearly a man of taste
00:14:22 ...which I prize...
00:14:25 ...but these days...
00:14:27 ...not only in corporate America,
00:14:32 ...taste and individuality
00:14:37 Well, just out of curiosity...
00:14:38 ...on what basis
00:14:41 Vulgarity and conformity?
00:14:44 No. Drive. On the basis of hustle,
00:14:51 He nagged me day and night
00:15:00 Well, for what it's worth,
00:15:04 Treat the authors as human beings.
00:15:08 Whoa, boy.
00:15:09 Don't hold them to deadlines.
00:15:13 They'll only turn in rough drafts.
00:15:15 Thank you.
00:15:19 You're a nice person, Will.
00:15:24 And I hope
00:15:28 You'd better put that out.
00:15:32 Why, I think I'll finish it.
00:15:35 - Go ahead. Good cigar, isn't it?
00:15:41 - Hello.
00:15:43 - Raymond, they are beautiful.
00:15:47 Well, now, see now, I think so.
00:15:49 And you're right. This is the prize.
00:15:52 Fort Knox.
00:15:55 The black is the sire.
00:15:56 - Easy.
00:16:01 Easy, easy.
00:16:05 Look out there.
00:16:07 - Easy.
00:16:11 Easy, easy.
00:16:17 Excuse me, I...
00:16:19 I'm sorry.
00:16:24 I guess...
00:16:28 Listen, let's go back to the house,
00:16:31 Oh, God.
00:17:04 Drink it.
00:17:15 Good boy.
00:17:26 I'm afraid...
00:17:30 ...I finished your drink.
00:17:33 What are you,
00:17:37 I'm...
00:17:41 ...just embarrassed.
00:17:44 Half the people I know
00:17:46 ...so your little anxiety attack
00:17:53 You're very kind.
00:17:56 No, I'm not.
00:17:58 I'm Laura Alden.
00:18:00 Alden's my father.
00:18:04 I'm Will Randall.
00:18:07 Nice to meet you.
00:18:11 You're not an easy guy to surprise,
00:18:13 Not tonight.
00:18:17 He just fired you, didn't he?
00:18:20 Demoted, I think, is the word.
00:18:21 I've been offered a choice
00:18:24 ...and a job no one would want.
00:18:28 So, what will you do?
00:18:31 I'll probably take the job
00:18:34 I don't have the courage
00:18:39 Old guy, huh?
00:18:42 Yeah. Old guy.
00:18:51 Well, I better get back.
00:18:59 Was that on purpose?
00:19:02 Oh, God.
00:19:05 No.
00:19:07 You're perfectly safe. I'm married.
00:19:11 And that makes you perfectly safe?
00:19:14 Well, yes.
00:19:22 You better clean yourself up
00:19:28 Here, wipe your face. It's all sweaty.
00:19:32 Thank you.
00:19:41 There you are, dear.
00:19:44 All ready for company.
00:19:48 Thank you.
00:20:19 How did it go?
00:20:23 Come on, speak.
00:20:26 Well...
00:20:28 ...first, let me say congratulations...
00:20:32 ...on being the new editor in chief.
00:20:36 I- What? Alden said that?
00:20:41 What did he say?
00:20:45 I mean-
00:20:48 It happened this evening,
00:20:51 Told me
00:20:54 I said, Will Randall's editor in chief.
00:20:56 I mean,
00:21:00 Look, Will, I didn't ask for this.
00:21:04 Say the word, I'll turn it down.
00:21:07 What do you think I should do?
00:21:09 That's up to you, Stewart.
00:21:11 No, Will, it's up to you.
00:21:15 I'm afraid you're asking the one person
00:21:21 Shit. Now I'm sorry you said that.
00:21:24 That son of a bitch.
00:21:28 Prick.
00:21:30 I had no idea
00:21:34 Why would you?
00:21:36 It must have been hard
00:21:38 ...but he could have told you.
00:21:41 Yes.
00:21:42 Why didn't you say something
00:21:45 Why did you let him walk away
00:21:49 Charlotte, please.
00:21:52 I can't...
00:21:55 I can't talk now.
00:21:57 May I just say one more thing about it?
00:22:03 No.
00:22:18 Will, come on, it's 7:30.
00:22:25 Give me till 8.
00:22:57 Will?
00:23:09 It's 7:40.
00:23:14 It's 7:40 at night, you dope.
00:23:19 You've been sleeping all day.
00:23:22 Are you all right?
00:23:25 How do you feel?
00:23:31 I feel...
00:23:35 ...good.
00:23:39 So I said,
00:23:42 ...and new trends
00:23:44 Why can't I do the article
00:23:47 ...and give Pete mastectomies?"
00:23:49 You know what he said?
00:23:51 "You'll do it so much better.
00:23:54 I said, "That's like telling
00:23:57 Hey. What are you doing?
00:24:01 I have to catch up.
00:24:05 I haven't eaten, I haven't drunk...
00:24:09 ...I haven't made love in a long time.
00:24:12 A very long time.
00:24:17 You think we ought to do it
00:24:19 ...in front of the dome of The Second
00:24:31 What else can you do
00:24:35 You'll see.
00:24:36 What was in that stew?
00:25:23 Thank you.
00:25:31 Morning.
00:25:33 How the fuck can you drink tequila
00:25:37 How the fuck did you know?
00:25:38 You kidding?
00:25:47 - Oh, Mr. Randall, are you all right?
00:25:51 I heard about Alden's decision.
00:25:59 Yeah. Was Stewart just in here?
00:26:02 Well, not just. About an hour ago.
00:26:05 That's how I found out.
00:26:07 Are you all right?
00:26:09 I'm fine. Never been better.
00:26:24 I just wanna say, I think it sucks.
00:26:28 Thank you, Roy.
00:26:32 Are-?
00:26:34 What'd you do, get contacts?
00:26:44 Well, I'll be damned.
00:26:48 You've edited about 60 pages
00:26:53 What are you on?
00:26:57 Nothing.
00:26:59 I got 20 hours of sleep, and I feel...
00:27:03 ...20 years younger.
00:27:05 And so now you can see
00:27:13 Yeah, you've got a point.
00:28:05 Can't trust anybody. Even
00:28:08 Oh, thank you.
00:28:11 We can offer $75,000 advance
00:28:14 Nicole, Mike on 3.
00:28:16 You know what that prick says to me?
00:28:20 I mean, I put a drop of tequila
00:28:24 ...and he said he smelled it.
00:28:26 It doesn't make sense.
00:28:27 And we couldn't give them away
00:28:30 He's huge in Mexico and in Japan,
00:28:33 - It's incredible.
00:28:36 - You hear Alden replaced Randall?
00:28:39 I'm absolutely positive.
00:28:41 It's official. Will Randall's out.
00:28:46 I can't take it anymore.
00:28:49 We'll take care of it. See you later.
00:28:51 I mean, who did he think he was?
00:29:13 Get me Gary on the phone.
00:29:18 You mean, like,
00:29:21 No, no, not animal possession.
00:29:25 Demonic possession. The possession
00:29:30 Give me a minute.
00:29:33 How many do you want?
00:29:34 One. The top one.
00:29:42 Vijay Alezais.
00:29:45 Wrote Something Wild, 1948.
00:29:49 He's not some kind of mystic
00:29:52 No, no. He has a string of letters
00:29:55 In fact, he's Dr. Alezais.
00:29:58 All right. Thank you. Can you
00:30:02 All right.
00:30:03 - And Gary?
00:30:06 Don't tell people
00:30:09 ...with your coffee this morning.
00:30:11 You didn't have coffee this morning.
00:30:31 Hi, I'm just letting you know
00:30:35 I'll be home tomorrow,
00:30:37 If you get hungry, there's still
00:30:41 Let's see if it still works,
00:31:37 - Yes?
00:31:41 I'll come down.
00:32:01 Hey, Will. What's going on?
00:32:04 What is it?
00:32:08 Hey, what the fuck's wrong-?
00:32:10 Jesus Christ.
00:32:16 Fuck.
00:32:19 What did he-?
00:32:47 I'm sorry.
00:32:51 Yeah.
00:32:56 I'll get dressed.
00:33:30 Morning, Mr. Randall.
00:33:31 Get out your Rolodex, Mary.
00:33:35 - Okay. Is that permanent?
00:33:38 Call Legal and find out
00:33:41 ...or if they're still dicking around
00:33:44 Then get Roy to come in here...
00:33:45 ...and bring a list of every name author
00:33:49 Then get me a list...
00:33:51 ...of every name author
00:33:53 Then call Alden. See if you can
00:33:56 ...this afternoon at his house.
00:33:58 Yes, sir.
00:34:01 The worm has turned
00:34:05 It's about fucking time, sir.
00:34:17 What do you want me to do?
00:34:20 Promise never to see Charlotte
00:34:22 Just tell me what to do.
00:34:25 I want you to resign today.
00:34:29 Well, I can't do that.
00:34:37 So why did I say it?
00:34:46 I guess it's just a way...
00:34:49 ...of telling you...
00:34:51 ...how bad I feel
00:35:03 I love you, Will.
00:35:08 ...and I know how much I've hurt you,
00:35:16 I know I can't...
00:35:22 You'll never forgive me, will you?
00:35:26 No.
00:35:30 Okay.
00:35:32 But still...
00:35:36 ...I'd like your permission...
00:35:38 ...to ask Alden to forget
00:35:42 ...and keep you on
00:35:45 Will you let me do that for you?
00:35:48 I'm gonna get you, Stewart.
00:36:04 Well, I have my offer to-
00:36:06 The deal with Alden
00:36:08 - What a fucking brilliant guess.
00:36:13 Roy, get on the phone
00:36:15 ...and ask them if they'd like
00:36:18 ...in a publishing house
00:36:21 Tell them
00:36:23 ...because we've heard
00:36:26 ...is to push everything that sells and-
00:36:29 Bury everything
00:36:32 Tell them we've got enough investors
00:36:35 - Two things.
00:36:36 - How many investors do we have?
00:36:40 - But you want me to say it anyway?
00:36:42 - Second thing: Is any of this true?
00:36:45 You're my god.
00:36:48 Mary, we'd better start calling writers.
00:37:04 - Mr. Randall.
00:37:07 Don't get up.
00:37:09 I just wanted to tell you
00:37:13 Well, I more or less
00:37:17 Nice seeing you again, sir.
00:37:46 Come on.
00:37:50 Thattagirl.
00:38:04 Whoa, baby.
00:38:16 You all right? You all right?
00:38:18 Are you crazy? Don't you have enough
00:38:22 ...when you know they're frightened
00:38:24 I didn't know it was me
00:38:27 Are you an idiot? You nearly
00:38:30 Can't you see that animals
00:38:33 - Hey, sorry. I just wanted to say hello.
00:38:36 You haven't fallen
00:38:38 I'm fine.
00:38:40 Well, here you still are.
00:38:43 You get lost?
00:38:44 - No.
00:38:48 Yes. Yes, of course.
00:38:51 Henry and Caroline are coming
00:38:56 Did you?
00:38:58 What a pity.
00:39:01 - Will.
00:39:04 It doesn't really matter to Laura
00:39:09 What is important to her
00:39:12 ...and inappropriate,
00:39:18 Well, we're gonna miss your company,
00:39:20 Yes, I know.
00:39:24 Shall we start cooking?
00:39:48 Your little place?
00:39:50 It's one of the guest houses.
00:39:54 I'm sorry...
00:39:56 ...but I just realized I have nothing
00:40:00 ...and a carton of milk.
00:40:03 Are you serious? Peanut butter
00:40:08 Listen, whatever you think
00:40:12 Please don't take anything for granted
00:40:16 ...the other night.
00:40:17 I don't take anything for granted,
00:40:21 ...except perhaps some small measure
00:40:43 So, what do you do?
00:40:47 Why do you care?
00:40:52 I don't.
00:40:53 I was just making
00:40:58 I'd rather not discuss what I do.
00:41:08 You know, I think I understand
00:41:14 You're beautiful. You think men
00:41:17 ...because you're beautiful.
00:41:20 But you want them to be interested
00:41:24 The problem is that,
00:41:26 ...you're not very interesting.
00:41:28 You're rude. You're hostile,
00:41:34 I know you want someone
00:41:37 ...at the real person underneath.
00:41:40 But the only reason that anyone
00:41:44 ...is because you're beautiful.
00:41:46 Ironic, isn't it?
00:41:49 In an odd way,
00:41:55 Sorry, wrong line.
00:41:58 I am not taken aback
00:42:01 ...and suddenly challenged by you.
00:42:05 Shall we have the rest of our milk
00:42:19 Are all of these you?
00:42:23 Yes.
00:42:25 My father keeps this cottage empty
00:42:30 ...I'll have a place to stay that's as far
00:42:33 Pictures were thrown in
00:42:36 He had a mawkish side.
00:42:38 Is this you?
00:42:40 My mother. She died when I was 12.
00:42:46 I'm sorry.
00:42:51 And this?
00:42:56 My brother. He died last year.
00:43:02 Yes...
00:43:04 ...I remember.
00:43:08 No, he killed himself.
00:43:10 He was diagnosed
00:43:16 ...and, well,
00:43:19 He lived with me on and off.
00:43:25 Nice face.
00:43:27 Yeah.
00:43:29 Well, he was pretty nice
00:43:43 This is really something.
00:43:46 Isn't it?
00:43:50 This is where I used to come
00:43:56 And this is where I realized...
00:44:00 ...that one day I would die.
00:44:02 Standing right here, on this spot,
00:44:06 ...that one day I would be over.
00:44:12 I wanna tell you something.
00:44:14 A few days ago,
00:44:20 I was driving in New England,
00:44:23 Oh, God.
00:44:26 A wolf.
00:44:28 In New England? Are you sure?
00:44:31 I'm absolutely positive,
00:44:35 - Did you get checked for rabies?
00:44:38 But this is really
00:44:42 Since it happened,
00:44:45 ...passed something along to me.
00:44:47 A scrap of its spirit in my blood
00:44:51 I don't know. Suddenly,
00:44:57 I feel just so...
00:45:00 ...great.
00:45:02 I'm just not the kind of person
00:45:05 I don't know. I'm different.
00:45:09 More alive.
00:45:12 Stronger.
00:45:17 - Well, it sounds strange, but-
00:45:22 No, no, I wasn't going to say that.
00:45:27 ...that whatever it is,
00:45:29 ...maybe you should just accept it
00:45:35 Well, I'm afraid it will have a price.
00:45:40 There is that.
00:45:49 Would you like to stay for dinner?
00:45:53 If it's not peanut butter and jelly,
00:45:57 Yes.
00:46:03 Well.
00:46:06 - Let's get back before it gets dark.
00:46:09 No, but we will be.
00:46:16 - What is it?
00:46:18 - Here, sit down.
00:46:23 - Well, all right, all right.
00:46:25 It's not that far. Lean on me.
00:46:27 - No.
00:46:28 You are talking to an
00:46:55 Elevated, but you'll live.
00:46:59 Is this the same kind of attack
00:47:02 I don't know.
00:47:07 Don't be upset with me...
00:47:11 ...if I tell you this, okay?
00:47:20 You are beautiful.
00:47:27 And the nicest girl.
00:47:33 Are you hungry?
00:47:37 - I can't eat.
00:47:42 Next thing you know, it'll be morning,
00:47:47 ...and eggs and toast.
00:47:49 And bacon.
00:47:51 Oh, you think I can't get bacon?
00:47:54 Well, I just may surprise you.
00:47:57 - I don't know where I'm going.
00:53:52 Any idea how this happened?
00:53:55 None.
00:53:57 Well, you ever sleepwalk?
00:54:00 Not that I know of.
00:54:02 It sounds like you took
00:54:04 ...fell down,
00:54:06 Now, I feel some scalp lacerations
00:54:09 And, you know,
00:54:13 I'm gonna make some arrangements
00:54:16 ...and a CAT scan, which means
00:54:19 - Out of the question.
00:54:21 You could have a concussion
00:54:24 No one feels this good
00:54:42 Mr. Alden. So good to see you again
00:54:46 It's nice to see you too, Will.
00:54:51 - Counselor, nice to meet you.
00:54:54 - Sit down, Will. Sit down.
00:55:00 You're deliberately goading
00:55:04 ...and become part
00:55:06 ...that hasn't a hope of succeeding.
00:55:10 And being writers,
00:55:15 Well, you may very well be right,
00:55:17 They might not succeed,
00:55:20 ...and if they fail,
00:55:25 - And you with them?
00:55:28 But it doesn't matter whether
00:55:32 ...or go to another publishing house.
00:55:34 At least seven first-rate writers
00:55:38 ...because they don't like
00:55:40 And when I issue that press release,
00:55:45 ...the reputation and value of this firm
00:55:51 Well, you're a worse son of a bitch
00:55:54 Yes.
00:55:55 But I still have
00:55:59 taste and individuality.
00:56:02 Maybe I can overlook them.
00:56:20 All right. Call it off. Keep your job.
00:56:26 I'd never have fired you
00:56:30 Thank you.
00:56:32 But before I do anything,
00:56:34 ...granting me additional powers
00:56:38 ...and I want it
00:56:41 - I won't agree to that.
00:56:44 I'd do it anyway.
00:56:48 - I'll tell Stewart.
00:56:51 Don't tell anyone
00:56:55 - Then I'll tell Stewart.
00:57:07 - Were you able to reach Ms. Alden?
00:57:14 Any appointments?
00:57:15 Dr. Vijay Alezais at 4.
00:57:18 He's called three times
00:57:21 He sounds like he's over 100.
00:57:24 If you wanna cancel,
00:57:32 I was just boiling water for tea.
00:57:36 Perhaps you will join me.
00:57:38 Come.
00:57:40 I won't take much of your time.
00:57:43 No. Take. I am not a busy man.
00:57:46 So you were bitten by a wolf
00:57:52 ...on March 8th.
00:57:55 Very auspicious.
00:57:59 - Very suspicious?
00:58:03 On March 8th...
00:58:05 ...the moon was the closest
00:58:13 Well, that is auspicious.
00:58:18 What I'm curious about is...
00:58:21 ...if my symptoms could be related...
00:58:26 ...to the release of a chemical
00:58:30 Something that medical science
00:58:34 ...but that tribal lore might possibly-
00:58:37 Well, among my people, there is only
00:58:44 ...is that you are becoming a wolf.
00:58:53 - But you don't believe that.
00:58:57 We must remember that man
00:59:01 ...for 25,000 years.
00:59:05 Please, sit down.
00:59:08 Thank you.
00:59:11 Life is mystical.
00:59:14 It's just that we are used to it.
00:59:18 Catholicism itself.
00:59:20 A religion so mystical...
00:59:22 ...that even primitive tribes
00:59:26 The stigmata, the return after death,
00:59:30 All so incredible and so ordinary.
00:59:36 Honey, sugar, Sweet'N Low?
00:59:40 Yeah, anything. Honey.
00:59:44 Honey.
00:59:46 Yep.
00:59:51 I don't have honey.
00:59:54 You should be visiting a shaman
00:59:59 I can only tell you the theory.
01:00:05 - Well, do you know any of the rules?
01:00:08 Only that the wolf rests by day
01:00:14 But is always present.
01:00:16 That he grows inside a man
01:00:22 And then he consumes him...
01:00:25 ...killing all but his nature
01:00:34 Not a great prognosis.
01:00:37 But, of course,
01:00:42 There must be
01:00:46 An analog of the wolf.
01:00:50 Well, that lets me out.
01:00:52 ...I'm known as the guy least likely
01:00:58 Your people are wrong, Mr. Randall.
01:01:03 Sometimes, one doesn't even need
01:01:07 Only the passion of the wolf
01:01:12 Dr. Alezais...
01:01:16 ...what I would like to know,
01:01:20 Neither do I, really.
01:01:25 But out of curiosity...
01:01:29 ...is there supposed to be any way
01:01:36 Supposedly, there are herbs
01:01:42 I don't know the rites.
01:01:46 But I did find something for you
01:01:58 This is one
01:02:01 It must be worn next to the skin
01:02:05 If it works, there is said to be
01:02:11 ...while the wolf struggles to emerge
01:02:15 Sometimes drives him out.
01:02:18 I have no idea if any of it is true...
01:02:22 ...but it's yours.
01:02:24 Oh, no, I...
01:02:26 It's a gift.
01:02:30 And, in return,
01:02:35 If it's in my power.
01:02:39 I was recently told that I'm dying.
01:02:43 Speaking of mystical
01:02:50 I would like you to bite me.
01:02:54 What?
01:02:56 I would like you to bite me.
01:03:00 I can't ask you to transform me
01:03:05 ...so I ask you to honor me
01:03:09 ...and I, too,
01:03:14 You'd rather be damned than die?
01:03:19 Damnation is not a part
01:03:25 The demon wolf is not evil...
01:03:28 ...unless the man he's bitten is evil.
01:03:31 And it feels good to be a wolf,
01:03:38 Power without guilt.
01:04:02 Excuse me...
01:04:04 ...I just can't.
01:04:08 Okay.
01:04:11 I understand.
01:04:14 Okay.
01:04:18 You keep the amulet...
01:04:21 ...and if you decide to believe...
01:04:24 ...perhaps you will give me your gift.
01:04:27 It has been a privilege.
01:04:32 I've never seen one like you.
01:05:19 - Hello?
01:05:35 Don't hang up.
01:05:37 Will you let me explain?
01:05:39 - No.
01:05:42 Because, first of all, I'm not a fan
01:05:45 - And second of all-
01:05:49 I sleepwalked last night.
01:05:51 I hit my head
01:05:53 And I drove to the doctor's
01:05:56 But it didn't occur to you to come back
01:06:00 No. No, it didn't occur to me to come
01:06:03 ...at 6:00 in the morning
01:06:06 ...and ask you
01:06:09 And finish drying. The sound
01:06:13 Are you telling me that you hear
01:06:16 Yes, it's one of my new gifts.
01:06:20 Laura...
01:06:23 ...please, can I see you?
01:06:27 Can we have dinner tomorrow?
01:06:34 Laura?
01:06:37 I'll be at your hotel
01:06:40 You better be there.
01:06:43 I will be, and I do.
01:06:50 Make me for breakfast?
01:07:14 "I'm not only the president
01:07:19 I'm also a member. "
01:09:04 - For Christ's sakes. Hold it right there.
01:09:07 Put your hands on the cage.
01:09:09 - Spread them.
01:09:12 - All right. He's clean. He's clean.
01:09:14 Clean. All right, put your hands
01:09:16 Hands behind your back.
01:09:19 Hey.
01:09:25 Did you see that?
01:09:27 He got my cuffs.
01:10:03 - Hey, wait up.
01:10:06 - Well, we wanna borrow some money.
01:10:10 All of you?
01:10:13 - Yeah.
01:10:16 I've got about $1000 in my wallet.
01:10:22 Five dollars? Ten?
01:10:23 Cut the bullshit
01:10:28 Shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
01:10:49 Good morning, Mr. Randall.
01:10:53 You must've been a bad boy
01:10:55 I've been ringing you forever.
01:10:57 Mr. Randall?
01:10:59 As a matter of fact, Alice,
01:11:06 I went to bed...
01:11:14 ...so early, I don't even remember.
01:11:20 Big boys here yet?
01:11:21 Yes, sir. Conference room.
01:11:36 Don't even pretend
01:11:44 It's a pleasure
01:11:54 Will, I was just about
01:11:56 ...tell you I talked to Alden
01:11:59 It's yours if you want it.
01:12:01 It's less pay, of course,
01:12:06 Well, thank you, Stewart,
01:12:08 Really?
01:12:10 That's wonderful. What house?
01:12:12 This one.
01:12:16 I don't understand.
01:12:18 It's fairly simple.
01:12:20 I nagged Alden
01:12:26 When? I don't understand. When?
01:12:28 In my spare time.
01:12:37 Well, I've...
01:12:41 I guess...
01:12:44 I mean, I guess
01:12:48 Yeah.
01:12:50 I guess the best man won.
01:12:55 Good. I'm glad, in a way. I mean...
01:12:59 ...I couldn't have given it up,
01:13:03 I hope we can work together
01:13:08 You're fired, Stewart.
01:13:12 Don't. Don't do it to me, Will.
01:13:15 I know...
01:13:17 ...but it's best for the firm.
01:13:21 Give me a few months.
01:13:25 No.
01:13:26 It wouldn't be best for the firm.
01:13:28 You vindictive son of a bitch.
01:13:34 I'm the best thing this firm has,
01:13:38 This is fucking rev-
01:13:41 - What are you, crazy?
01:13:44 I'm just marking my territory,
01:13:51 Gee, that's funny.
01:13:59 Nice.
01:14:06 Real nice.
01:14:08 - Suede shoes.
01:14:59 Oh, God.
01:15:07 I'm sorry.
01:15:22 Will?
01:15:27 Please, can I talk to you...
01:15:30 ...for a moment?
01:15:33 Just a moment of your time
01:15:38 What do you want?
01:15:41 I want to come back.
01:15:44 - No.
01:15:47 I deserve anything you do to me.
01:15:51 I'm just...
01:15:53 ...begging you to be kind.
01:15:56 Stewart become unlovable
01:16:00 I never loved Stewart.
01:16:04 It was a mistake, Will.
01:16:08 Stewart never, for one moment,
01:16:13 And you think that makes it better?
01:16:16 That you betrayed me
01:16:18 ...with a man that meant nothing
01:16:21 To know that you betrayed me
01:16:23 - Don't be such a smug ba-
01:16:30 And keep away.
01:17:39 Hi. I thought I'd just come on up.
01:17:44 Have you been waiting for me?
01:17:48 I can't see you.
01:17:53 Come on, Will, open the door.
01:18:00 Open it.
01:18:07 Excuse me.
01:18:22 Please go.
01:18:25 Why?
01:18:26 What's happened?
01:18:29 What have you done?
01:18:35 I want you to go.
01:18:38 No.
01:18:43 Tell me why you've done this.
01:18:46 It's getting late.
01:18:50 And I think I'm dangerous...
01:18:54 ...especially at night.
01:19:01 And you're afraid that
01:19:04 Yeah.
01:19:07 I think I'm turning into...
01:19:12 ...something else.
01:19:13 Into the thing that bit you?
01:19:17 Into the wolf?
01:19:20 Yes.
01:19:24 - Tell me where the key is.
01:19:31 I don't even know
01:19:35 You don't have a key?
01:19:40 What was your plan? To sit chained
01:19:46 God.
01:19:48 You almost make this seem
01:19:54 I don't- I didn't...
01:19:56 I don't have a plan.
01:20:01 I didn't think past
01:20:05 I don't think there's any way
01:20:08 Well, you don't know
01:20:12 You see...
01:20:14 ...when you're a druggie
01:20:17 ...and you wanna get Daddy...
01:20:21 ...you get arrested.
01:20:24 You come in contact
01:20:29 ...and, well, you pick up shit...
01:20:32 ...that you think
01:20:34 And then you meet a guy
01:20:37 ...and it all falls into place.
01:20:44 I don't...
01:20:47 Why do you want any...
01:20:49 ...of this nightmare?
01:20:53 You mean, instead of the gaiety
01:20:59 I don't know. Because I like you.
01:21:04 Because you're a good man...
01:21:09 ...and that's very exotic to me.
01:21:14 I never thought I'd meet a good man
01:21:19 - You don't know I'm a good man.
01:21:24 Then why is this happening?
01:21:27 I thought only the evil were cursed.
01:21:31 Oh, no, not at all.
01:21:36 No, the worst things
01:21:40 I almost had it.
01:21:45 You know...
01:21:48 ...you might consider
01:21:52 ...cursed at all, that you're sick.
01:21:56 I mean, there are brain tumors
01:22:00 Tumors?
01:22:02 What are you saying?
01:22:05 - Oh, yeah. Yeah.
01:22:11 How we lower our sights.
01:22:18 I say...
01:22:22 ...we get you examined for physical
01:22:25 ...that you're becoming-
01:22:29 There we go. Okay, on your feet.
01:22:32 Let's get you re-handcuffed.
01:22:37 Well, maybe it isn't necessary.
01:22:41 Hands behind your back.
01:22:45 There.
01:22:48 Well, you seem pretty helpless now.
01:22:54 Yes.
01:22:56 Great.
01:23:04 It's interesting. What is it?
01:23:09 - It's a good-luck charm.
01:23:13 Does it work?
01:23:16 Well...
01:23:18 ...today isn't turning out too bad.
01:23:24 Laura.
01:23:26 Yes?
01:23:30 Nothing.
01:23:33 Not a thing.
01:26:21 - Who is it?
01:26:27 Detective Sergeant Bridger, NYPD.
01:26:33 - Yes?
01:26:36 Why? What's wrong?
01:26:38 I'd rather tell Mr. Randall, ma'am.
01:26:41 He's in the shower.
01:26:43 Is it okay if I come in and wait?
01:26:58 - Will.
01:27:06 There's some kind of a problem.
01:27:10 I understand.
01:27:14 I'm Will Randall,
01:27:17 If there were any complaints
01:27:20 No, Will, stop.
01:27:24 He's a police detective.
01:27:27 Could I have a word with you
01:27:31 Well, that won't be necessary.
01:27:36 She can hear anything
01:27:45 Your wife was found dead
01:27:50 I'm sorry.
01:27:52 She was murdered
01:27:55 Her body was found in the park.
01:28:03 How was she killed?
01:28:05 Her throat was torn up.
01:28:10 - Sit down.
01:28:18 Would you mind telling me...
01:28:20 ...when you saw your wife last,
01:28:25 Last night.
01:28:28 Last night, here in the lobby.
01:28:32 - About 6.
01:28:37 Don't answer anything else, Will.
01:28:40 I'm just trying to clear up a fact,
01:28:43 The clerk who was on last night said
01:28:47 So you already know they argued.
01:28:49 These are not straight questions.
01:28:53 Well, I would like to ask
01:28:57 Certainly that's a straight question.
01:28:59 Mr. Randall was with me last night.
01:29:03 I arrived at 6:30, and I didn't leave.
01:29:08 I will.
01:29:15 We've taken some blood
01:29:19 The victim.
01:29:20 We're trying to match them
01:29:23 ...and it would really help
01:29:26 Forget it. Not without a court order.
01:29:29 Just a request.
01:29:32 Okay.
01:29:35 Well...
01:29:41 Here's my number...
01:29:43 ...in case you wanna reach me
01:29:46 Here.
01:29:48 I would appreciate it if you
01:29:52 ...and gave a statement.
01:29:54 Both of you.
01:29:57 All right.
01:29:59 And thank you for your cooperation.
01:30:15 He's got an alibi. The girl says
01:30:18 Airtight?
01:30:20 Depends on
01:30:27 - with her throat torn open.
01:30:29 Charlotte Skyler Randall...
01:30:31 ...wife of the senior editor
01:30:33 ...the publishing company recently
01:30:36 Police have no suspects in custody
01:30:42 - My God.
01:30:44 I just hope they don't go after Will.
01:30:47 Will? Go after Will?
01:30:49 The husband.
01:30:51 ...when there are no suspects
01:30:54 That would not be great
01:30:57 Well, you don't know that, sir.
01:31:01 It's heat. It's gossip.
01:31:03 That's what I think publishing
01:31:05 Well, you handle it
01:31:07 You're back in marketing.
01:31:11 Thank you, sir.
01:31:18 If they do go after Will...
01:31:20 ...and I hope to God they don't,
01:31:22 ...I'd like to put in another bid
01:31:25 Randall's contract gives him the right
01:31:29 ...and he's named Roy Macallister.
01:31:33 I see.
01:31:35 Well...
01:31:38 Would that contract still hold
01:31:43 Yes, unless, of course,
01:31:46 ...so I guess you'll just
01:31:50 I didn't mean...
01:31:52 Really? What did you mean?
01:31:56 I mean that I love Will,
01:31:59 ...and if he is, screw the job...
01:32:03 ...but if he's guilty...
01:32:06 ...screw Roy Macallister.
01:32:19 It's not much farther now.
01:32:24 What if I killed her?
01:32:27 What if you killed her?
01:32:30 Excuse me, but aren't you
01:32:33 I mean, you look so much like him.
01:32:36 I could have gone out after
01:32:40 God damn you, Will.
01:32:41 Why does it always
01:32:44 The worst pain? The worst defeat?
01:32:51 - Because what if it is?
01:32:55 It's not.
01:33:03 Well?
01:33:05 They've left the hotel.
01:33:09 - Who is she?
01:33:12 How's that for an airtight alibi?
01:33:45 Where are we?
01:33:48 We're almost home.
01:33:52 Jesus.
01:33:55 Where did the day go?
01:34:03 You better duck down.
01:34:15 - Hi, Ms. Alden.
01:34:29 Stay down.
01:34:36 Hi, Tom.
01:34:39 I'd be careful of the woods,
01:34:42 Think we may have some wild dogs
01:34:45 What do you mean?
01:34:46 We found a deer.
01:34:52 Thanks. I'll be careful.
01:34:54 - Good night.
01:35:08 I want you to lock me up
01:35:14 Then what?
01:35:17 Then maybe it won't happen.
01:35:22 I don't know where else to put you
01:35:26 Everything else has windows.
01:35:29 The barn sounds good.
01:35:32 The barn sounds great.
01:35:36 I'm gonna beat this, Laura.
01:35:38 I'm gonna beat this.
01:35:42 Your phone is ringing.
01:35:47 How do you know?
01:35:49 I can hear it.
01:35:53 I'll be right back.
01:36:05 Hello?
01:36:06 - Laura Alden?
01:36:09 This is Detective Carl Bridger, NYPD.
01:36:13 And, as you see,
01:36:15 Did you just dial? About how long
01:36:19 About two minutes. I've been trying
01:36:23 What can I do for you?
01:36:24 You can come in tomorrow
01:36:26 ...and give me the statement
01:36:30 All right.
01:36:32 Do you still want blood
01:36:37 Well, I'm afraid they'd be useless.
01:36:40 We seem to have messed up
01:36:42 ...that we took from the body.
01:36:47 Why? What happened?
01:36:50 There was canine DNA
01:36:55 So that could mean
01:36:59 ...by some kind of animal
01:37:01 ...or it may mean
01:37:04 ...pet a dog
01:37:09 So...
01:37:48 You scared me.
01:37:52 You were right.
01:37:54 The phone was ringing.
01:37:55 It was that detective, Bridger.
01:37:58 Well, he traced me, and he...
01:38:03 Now he's threatening to subpoena
01:38:06 ...if I don't give him
01:38:11 Will you be all right if I go in?
01:38:16 Yes.
01:38:21 Don't look so scared.
01:38:24 Maybe there's happy endings even
01:38:30 Yeah.
01:38:32 I want you to know something.
01:38:37 I've never loved anybody this way.
01:38:41 I've never looked at a woman
01:38:45 If civilization fails...
01:38:49 ...if the world ends,
01:38:55 ...if I'm with her.
01:39:39 Laura Alden just called.
01:39:41 She's coming in tonight.
01:39:44 It sounds like she's been crying.
01:39:46 Interesting. I just got a call from a guy
01:39:50 - He wants to see me tonight.
01:39:53 The entire family of the kid whose
01:39:57 We got five new murders.
01:40:00 - What is there about a full moon?
01:41:04 If a rich white boy
01:41:07 ...somebody would be in jail by now.
01:41:09 - I know.
01:41:11 You're gonna have to call uptown.
01:41:13 - Laura Alden for Detective Bridger.
01:41:16 Can you sit down?
01:41:18 - Here, Ms. Alden, take my seat.
01:41:21 - Please.
01:41:25 You don't know me, do you?
01:41:28 - No.
01:41:31 ...but we never met.
01:41:33 - He's the husband of-
01:41:35 Oh, you've met?
01:41:37 No, I just know the name.
01:41:44 Well, this is such a terrible,
01:41:48 I mean, Will Randall was more
01:41:51 He was my mentor.
01:41:54 - And you were his protégé?
01:41:59 It's a true pleasure.
01:42:04 What an interesting scent you have,
01:42:10 At once new and familiar.
01:42:14 Thank you.
01:42:19 Were you bitten?
01:42:20 - What?
01:42:26 What an odd question.
01:42:28 What a very odd question.
01:42:31 What made you ask
01:42:34 I don't know. People, you know...
01:42:37 When people are bitten,
01:42:44 What are you here for?
01:42:46 I...
01:42:49 They want information
01:42:51 - I'm standing in for my father.
01:42:55 Come on in.
01:42:57 Would you have a drink with me?
01:42:59 I'd really like to get to know you, and
01:43:04 Thank you, that's very sweet.
01:43:07 Of course. I'd love to.
01:43:09 Wonderful. Well...
01:43:22 - Don't break our date, now.
01:43:39 This is not easy.
01:43:40 Will Randall is a very close,
01:43:45 And I'm not proud
01:43:52 Charlotte Randall and I...
01:43:59 This is hard.
01:44:03 Charlotte Randall and I were
01:44:08 It just happened.
01:44:11 And Will found out.
01:44:20 - Yes.
01:44:22 - Yes.
01:44:25 - There will only be the two of us.
01:44:29 And I'll be flying...
01:44:32 ...with a sick friend...
01:44:33 ...so if you would please have it
01:44:37 - That's no problem.
01:44:41 - Very good then.
01:45:12 He was like a madman.
01:45:15 I mean, he bit me. He actually...
01:45:18 ...urinated on my shoe.
01:45:20 Urinated.
01:45:23 He told me he would kill her,
01:45:28 I blame myself.
01:45:33 I mean, if you have any idea...
01:45:35 ...of pinning a first-degree murder rap
01:45:39 This was true temporary insanity...
01:45:42 ...and if Will is arrested,
01:45:47 I understand. Yeah.
01:45:54 Is he...?
01:45:57 He's staying at the Alden place,
01:45:59 - I really must find him right away.
01:46:03 - She's outside.
01:46:06 Laura Alden? Alden? Laura Alden?
01:46:11 She's gone. She left
01:46:14 Excuse me.
01:46:22 We don't need her.
01:46:24 Wake someone up,
01:46:26 This is our case.
01:46:30 Did he say "on his shoe"
01:47:29 George. No one gets through
01:47:32 All right, Ms. Alden.
01:47:48 Just wanted to let you know
01:47:51 ...in the barn tonight.
01:47:52 Yes, yes, I know. It's all right.
01:47:56 - And will you tell the others?
01:48:13 Can I help you, sir?
01:48:15 Oh, Mr. Swinton.
01:48:18 George, I'm here
01:48:21 Well, I'm afraid I'll have to call. May I
01:48:26 My business is pleasure, George.
01:48:28 Does she look like the fuck
01:48:32 Back up.
01:48:34 Alrighty.
01:48:42 Hey. Hey! Hey!
01:49:34 Hey. Excuse me. Excuse me, sir.
01:49:37 - Can I help you?
01:49:39 I'm here to see Ms. Alden.
01:49:43 Gate didn't call
01:49:46 Really?
01:49:47 Well, I have a card...
01:49:50 ...and an appointment. Here.
01:50:44 Hello, Ms. Alden.
01:50:47 Laura, if you scream, I'll kill you.
01:50:49 I'll just break your neck, okay?
01:50:54 Okay.
01:50:58 This is a surprise.
01:51:01 - How did you get in?
01:51:05 Well, if anyone could do it...
01:51:08 Now, Laura,
01:51:11 You know, don't you?
01:51:13 - Know what?
01:51:16 - No.
01:51:17 ...and I asked you not to.
01:51:19 You pretended not to know Will,
01:51:22 Don't pretend anymore. You know
01:51:25 ...don't you?
01:51:28 All right, I do know Will...
01:51:31 ...and I do know
01:51:34 Will told me, but only after I asked...
01:51:38 ...if there were any more at home
01:51:41 I'm not a fool, Laura.
01:51:44 I know that.
01:51:47 If you find me so attractive...
01:51:49 ...how about my fucking you to death
01:51:53 - How would that be?
01:51:56 You're very good.
01:51:58 Thank you.
01:52:29 Why, hello, Will.
01:52:56 Will!
01:57:36 Is my daughter all right?
01:57:39 I thought she was with you.
01:57:41 Laura?
01:57:50 What's happening? I heard gunshots.
01:57:54 - Are you with Will Randall?
01:57:57 I'm not sure. I just hung up on him.
01:58:00 As far as I know,
01:58:08 I told him I wasn't going with him...
01:58:13 ...and he hung up on me.
01:58:14 - We'd like to check the cottage.
01:58:19 - What's happening?
01:58:25 What?
01:58:26 Laura, Tom's dead.
01:58:30 And George too. He was run down.
01:58:33 - With Stewart Swinton's car.
01:58:38 I knew it. At the police station,
01:58:43 There's a plane at Teterboro
01:58:46 Swinton was looking for Will Randall.
01:58:49 He asked us
01:58:51 When he found out that
01:58:54 He just bolted.
01:58:56 All this might not...
01:59:00 ...have happened...
01:59:02 ...but I was so dead-set
01:59:04 ...because he was after
01:59:07 You were just trying to save me
01:59:14 I would have left him within a week.
01:59:18 Yeah. That's what I thought when
01:59:24 Well, I hope this time you will come in
01:59:28 It would be my pleasure.
01:59:40 Could I send you
01:59:44 - Another vodka-tonic?
01:59:49 No, thanks.
01:59:52 Let me know
01:59:55 How the hell would she know
02:00:00 I can smell it.
