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

01:03:51Stay here, Luis.
01:03:57Aaron, he tore iron bars out of cement.
01:03:59If he was born in this house, maybe he'll have more respect.
01:04:09After I leave, lock and shut of this door.
01:04:11Then go in there and lock and bolt that door.
01:04:13And don't leave the room.
01:04:18I don't know what I'll do when I find him, but it won't be what they'll do.
01:04:21Now, don't leave the room. Don't answer the door until you hear it's me, Aaron, saying it's me, all right?
01:04:26Aaron, if he has to be killed, not their way.
01:04:47Even the good thing after a good thing...
01:04:49I'm here.
01:04:50I can only do my thing.
01:04:51You can't already know how to die.
01:04:52We can't find him.
01:04:53But don't forget to find someone's eye.
01:04:55I can't find him.
01:04:56You know, I'm over here.
01:04:57I can't find other way.
01:04:58I can't find him.
01:04:59That out of nowhere, that way he is.
01:05:00I can't find him.
01:05:01I can't find him.
01:05:02All right?
01:05:03No man, I can't find him.
01:05:04He's gonna find him.

01:11:59He made me fire at him.
01:12:02He knew the bullets.
01:12:06He must have had them flashed.
01:12:08He must have done that.
01:12:11He knew.
