He'll leave with me. 28 00:08:34,523 --> 00:08:39,945 I know they don't want to lose him. That may give me some leverage. 29 00:08:40,153 --> 00:08:44,198 I'll leave with you, too! How’s that for leverage? 30 00:08:46,408 --> 00:08:49,495 Let's go and see your protégé. 31 00:08:53,164 --> 00:08:57,043 Willie.

You don't confuse a dog with a wolf. 52 00:10:38,634 --> 00:10:44,805 I see. Funny, this isn't the first rabies shot I've given recently. 53 00:10:45,014 --> 00:10:51,811 My wife's sister-in-law in Oneonta, a raccoon bit her in the ass. 54 00:10:51,978 --> 00:10:56,358 My friend's son sustained brain damage from a snake bite. 55 00:10:56,566 --> 00:11:01,111 He was by the pool, next thing he has brain damage. 56 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,534 - Is he all right? - No, you idiot, he's brain damaged. 57 00:11:19,836 --> 00:11:26,092 I see Time-Warner as a bunch of decent caring people. 58 00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:31,222 Money doesn't always imply ruthless ambition.

I'm only quoting "The New Yorker". 64 00:11:53,324 --> 00:11:58,538 Everyone's trying to say the world will end if we have no rainforests. 65 00:11:58,746 --> 00:12:06,169 You could make a case that the world has already ended. That art is dead. 66 00:12:06,378 --> 00:12:11,883 Instead of art we have pop culture and daytime TV. 67 00:12:12,050 --> 00:12:17,846 Women who've been raped by their dentists confiding in Oprah. 68 00:12:18,054 --> 00:12:24,436 An exploration in depth of why women cut off their husbands' penises. 69 00:12:30,024 --> 00:12:35,070 - Time to fill up the glass. - Yes.

All that red meat dripping blood. 72 00:12:47,664 --> 00:12:54,545 - You're fun to eat with. - Mr. Alden would like to see you. 73 00:12:54,754 --> 00:13:01,719 "Never send to know for whom the bell tolls.

I am not a busy man. 366 00:57:46,353 --> 00:57:53,693 You were bitten by a wolf in Vermont on March 8th. 367 00:57:55,485 --> 00:57:58,697 Very auspicious. 368 00:57:58,905 --> 00:58:03,617 - Very suspicious? - Auspicious. Very auspicious. 369 00:58:03,826 --> 00:58:09,790 March 8th. The moon was the closest it's been to earth in 100 years. 370 00:58:09,999 --> 00:58:15,587 Well... that is auspicious. 371 00:58:17,964 --> 00:58:21,593 What I'm curious about is... 372 00:58:21,801 --> 00:58:29,599 Could my symptoms be caused by chemicals released from a wolf bite? 373 00:58:29,807 --> 00:58:36,522 Something that medical science has overlooked. 374 00:58:36,731 --> 00:58:42,652 Among my people there is only one explanation for your symptoms. 375 00:58:42,861 --> 00:58:47,782 That you are becoming a wolf. 376 00:58:50,452 --> 00:58:55,039 But... you don't believe that... 377 00:58:55,246 --> 00:58:57,749 Why not? 378 00:58:57,957 --> 00:59:04,421 Remember, man has only been out of the jungle for 25,000 years. 379 00:59:05,130 --> 00:59:08,133 Please. Sit down. 380 00:59:11,219 --> 00:59:17,058 Life is mystical. It's just that we are used to it. 381 00:59:17,266 --> 00:59:22,146 Catholicism itself. A religion so mystical - 382 00:59:22,355 --> 00:59:26,107 - that even primitive tribes can be converted to it. 383 00:59:26,316 --> 00:59:30,361 The return after death. Judgement Day, Heaven and Hell. 384 00:59:30,569 --> 00:59:36,158 All so incredible and so ordinary. But we are used to it. 385 00:59:36,325 --> 00:59:41,664 - Honey, sugar, Sweet N' Low? - Anything. Honey. 386 00:59:51,005 --> 00:59:54,716 I don't have honey. 387 00:59:54,925 --> 00:59:59,053 Visit a shaman. He'll tell you the rules. 388 00:59:59,262 --> 01:00:02,890 I can only tell you the theory. 389 01:00:05,142 --> 01:00:08,603 - Do you know any of the rules? - Very few. 390 01:00:08,812 --> 01:00:13,775 The wolf rests by day and prowls by night. 391 01:00:13,984 --> 01:00:16,528 But he's always present. 392 01:00:16,736 --> 01:00:21,198 He grows inside a man he's entered until the first full moon. 393 01:00:22,157 --> 01:00:30,415 Then he consumes him. Killing all but his nature and his heart. 394 01:00:34,042 --> 01:00:36,962 Not a great prognosis. 395 01:00:37,129 --> 01:00:42,134 Of course. Not all who are bitten change. 396 01:00:42,342 --> 01:00:48,556 There must be something wild within. An analogue of the wolf. 397 01:00:50,516 --> 01:00:57,063 Among my people, I'm not known for having an analogue of a wolf. 398 01:00:57,897 --> 01:01:06,238 Your people are wrong. Sometimes one doesn't even need to be bitten. 399 01:01:06,906 --> 01:01:11,117 Only the passion of the wolf is enough. 400 01:01:12,243 --> 01:01:15,997 Dr. Alezais... 401 01:01:16,205 --> 01:01:19,792 I'd like to know... Not that I subscribe to this... 402 01:01:20,001 --> 01:01:24,630 Neither do I. Only to the possibility. 403 01:01:24,838 --> 01:01:28,758 But out of curiosity... 404 01:01:28,966 --> 01:01:36,473 Is there supposed to be any way to stop this metamorphosis? 405 01:01:36,681 --> 01:01:42,103 Supposedly there are herbs and rites and amulets. 406 01:01:42,312 --> 01:01:46,149 I don't know the rites. I don't have the herbs. 407 01:01:46,358 --> 01:01:52,279 But I did find something for you when you called. 408 01:01:55,115 --> 01:02:00,869 This is one of the most powerful amulets. 409 01:02:01,078 --> 01:02:05,207 It must be worn next to the skin and never taken off. 410 01:02:05,374 --> 01:02:10,879 If it works. There is said to be great pain and weakness. 411 01:02:11,046 --> 01:02:18,469 The wolf struggles to emerge, and the charm holds him at bay. 412 01:02:18,678 --> 01:02:26,059 I have no idea if any of it is true, but it's yours. 413 01:02:26,268 --> 01:02:29,645 It's a gift. 414 01:02:30,604 --> 01:02:34,817 And in return I would like a favour from you. 415 01:02:34,984 --> 01:02:38,820 If it's in my power. 416 01:02:39,028 --> 01:02:43,157 I was recently told that I am dying. 417 01:02:43,366 --> 01:02:50,164 Speaking of mystical and terrifying experiences. 418 01:02:50,331 --> 01:02:54,251 I would like you to bite me. 419 01:02:54,459 --> 01:03:00,214 - What? - I would like you to bite me. 420 01:03:00,381 --> 01:03:04,759 I can't ask you to transform me with your passions. 421 01:03:05,010 --> 01:03:08,930 But I ask you to honour me with your bite. 422 01:03:09,139 --> 01:03:14,394 I. Too. Will become a demon wolf. 423 01:03:14,603 --> 01:03:17,938 You'd rather be damned than die? 424 01:03:18,147 --> 01:03:24,194 Damnation is not a part of my system of beliefs. 425 01:03:24,987 --> 01:03:31,033 The demon wolf is not evil unless the man he's bitten is evil. 426 01:03:31,241 --> 01:03:35,996 And it feels good to be a wolf, doesn't it? 427 01:03:37,915 --> 01:03:44,545 Power without guilt. Love without doubt. 428 01:04:01,894 --> 01:04:07,065 Excuse me, I just can't. 429 01:04:11,569 --> 01:04:15,114 I understand. 430 01:04:18,451 --> 01:04:23,872 Keep the amulet. If you decide to believe, - 431 01:04:24,081 --> 01:04:27,292 - perhaps you will give me your gift. 432 01:04:27,501 --> 01:04:34,381 It has been a privilege. I've never seen one like you. 433 01:05:19,255 --> 01:05:23,300 - Hello? - I've been trying to call... 434 01:05:35,768 --> 01:05:41,858 Don't hang up. Let me explain. 435 01:05:42,066 --> 01:05:45,778 I'm not a fan of men who mysteriously disappear. 436 01:05:45,987 --> 01:05:51,408 I had an accident.

The heat, the gossip. 609 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:07,296 - That's what publishing's about. - Well, you handle it. 610 01:31:07,504 --> 01:31:11,008 You're back in marketing. 611 01:31:11,300 --> 01:31:14,552 Thank you, sir. 612 01:31:16,012 --> 01:31:19,766 If they do go after Will, - 613 01:31:19,974 --> 01:31:24,644 - and I hope that they don't, I'd like to bid again for the job. 614 01:31:24,853 --> 01:31:29,148 Randall has the right to name his own replacement. 615 01:31:29,357 --> 01:31:32,276 He's named Roy Macallister. 616 01:31:33,110 --> 01:31:36,655 I see. 617 01:31:38,490 --> 01:31:42,243 Would that contract hold if Will was arrested? 618 01:31:42,452 --> 01:31:49,501 Yes. Unless he's convicted. You'll have to keep your fingers crossed. 619 01:31:49,667 --> 01:31:54,712 - I didn't mean... - Really? What did you mean? 620 01:31:56,214 --> 01:31:59,384 I hope to God Will is innocent. 621 01:31:59,592 --> 01:32:03,054 And if he is.
