So match one: Sheffield. Sally Fenzer. Severe head trauma. Body found by her flatmate.
NNancy
Jesus, he's done this before?
We really shouldn't be here.
NNancy
Twenty-fourth of December...nineteen sixty?
He used to be a very very different person.
NNancy
There's no way whoever did this could just have the same prints as my guy?
Nancy Shit. Hang on, you said there were two matches with his. What was the second?
Don't worry. This isn't how you're going to die. I just needed to make you a little more receptive. See I'm going to give you a gift. You've been head-hunted, Nancy, for an exciting new opportunity. Think of it as evolutionary promotion.
[Annie stakes him from behind]
I have something of a dilemma, Nina. Perhaps you can help me.
Christ, you made me jump. What the hell happened here? And why are you wearing that?
See the thing is, your boyfriend tore me—literally—limb from limb. Now, aside from anything else, have you ever heard of anything so...undignified? [Chuckles, then puts his hand over Nina's mouth before she can shout for help] But the pain...was incredible. And I remember every moment. And so now, not unreasonably I think you'll agree, I want him to suffer. But not for moments. For days, weeks...months. And the best way of doing that, um, is to kill you. Here's my dilemma. You were kind to me. Everyone else in the house wanted me dead. Except for you...It's a knotty one, isn't it?
You're right. My quarrel is not with you. [He leaves. Nina gasps in relief and turns away to lean on the sink for support...and then Herrick quickly returns]. But then people would say I was going soft. [stabs Nina in the kidney]
Lia, what's going on? You told me that I had to come straight here. That Mitchell was in danger.
On the spot. I just wanted to screw with Mitchell's head. “The Wolf-Shaped Bullet."
Well, I wanted to drive a wedge between him and George and Nina. But instead of getting suspicious of them he got all worked up about the other two. Tom and...what was it? McIntyre? Macintosh? Well. Whatever. Oh Annie, you didn't really believe it, did you? I can't control people. I can't see the future. You've been watching too much TV.
If there's no prophecy, then why is this happening?
Well what you really need to worry about is the self-fulfilling prophecy, Annie. He made it come true. There really is a wolf-shaped bullet. That he carved his name on.
This is all just one big game to you, isn't it?
This wasn't a game! This is revenge! He killed me. Let me tell you something about revenge. It isn't petulant or being a sore loser. It's righteous. A game ? Fuck you. This is what needs to happen. Revenge is about setting the world straight again.
It didn't work though, did it?
Well, I've still got you and I've still got him grief-stricken without you.
I don't know who that man is. But I doubt you'll get much in the way of grief-stricken from him.
WWyndham
This is what is going to happen. Mitchell, you're coming with me. I think you're going to come in useful one day so this... martyrdom isn't an option.
Mitchell [almost sobbing in despair]: No. No, please, I don't want that. This, this has to be the end.
WWyndam
Sorry. You're going to dance for me. You are going to kill and rampage. [to Mitchell] You are going to be my attack dog. And the day that you say no is the day that I crucify George and Nina. In Regent's Park. [grins] What about the rest of you? What about...Annie? Now, I think you're more powerful than you imagine so I'm going to keep you around. Besides, [whispers to Annie] There are going to be a lot more ghosts soon. [to George and Nina] And then there are the history makers. A werewolf impregnated by another werewolf. We've never seen the like. The others want you culled. I'm the curious type. I want to see exactly what it is that's going to pop out. But there's something I want you to do in return. I want you to pass on a message. To every werewolf, every ghost, every vampire that you meet. You tell them this: the world is under new management now. It is year dot. You tell them this. The age of the vampires has begun.
[George picks up the dropped stake from earlier and aims it at Wyndham]
WWyndham
Oh, George... [raises eyebrow] Really?
[George draws back his hand... then spins round rapidly and rams the stake into Mitchell]
[to Mitchell] I'm doing this because I love you.
[Mitchell smiles peacefully, then slowly turns to dust and crumbles apart. George, Nina and Annie cluster together and turn to face Wyndham.]
[to Wyndham] I think you've got a fight on your hands.
