"Many, many moons ago, almost too many to count  in a small village deep within the forest  there lived a young girl her hair as red as the setting sun." "Leave her alone!" "Leave her alone!" "Hey, look who's up." "Hey." "What are we doing here, Nathan?" "I think I took a wrong turn a couple miles ago." "I'm just trying to get a signal on the phone for the GPS, but nothing." "I know the way from here." "We should get going." "Okay, sure." "Whatever." " You had a good sleep?" " Yeah, thank you for driving." "Hey, look at that." "Keswick." "Sorry, I'm having a hard time hearing you." "Just call Agent Walker, okay?" "He's handling my case load while I'm away." "Thank you." "I thought you were gonna turn that thing off." "It's off." "It's off." "Look, I promise this weekend is all about me meeting your family." " No work, no phone." " No gun." "I don't think my family is gonna be that intimidating." "Promises, promises." "This place is in the middle of nowhere." "A perfect place for us to forget about our jobs." "Don't worry, my phone doesn't wanna work up here anyway." "Now, that is a house." "I didn't know I was marrying into money." "Don't get any ideas." "The house has been in the family for generations." "It's amazing." "Welcome home, Virginia." "You're too skinny." "You say that every time I've been away." " It's true." " Hey, you're here." "Jake." "Look at you." "Welcome home, Red." "Where's Marcus?" "At work." "He'll be home tonight." "You guys I want you to meet Nathan." "A pleasure to meet you." " Hey, you must be Jake." " Yeah." "Nice to meet you." "Jake will help you get your bag, show you to your room." "Get you settled." "I don't mean to be an ungracious hostess but I would like to spend some private time with my granddaughter." "Understood." "So you're the guy that's banging my sister, huh?" "If you knew anything about your sister you'd know it's the other way around." "I heard you call her "Red."" "Everybody in the family call her that?" "Yeah." "It's a name of honor given to the first-born daughter in each generation of our family." "So it's not because of the red hair?" "No." "Well, what does it mean?" "You'll have to ask Virginia." "It feels good to be home." "So nice to have you here." "Everyone sleeping under the same roof again if only for a little while." "How's that job?" "Keeping my skills sharp." "Any activity within the den?" "No, they're behaving quietly, adhering to the truce." "That's good." "I need to talk to you about something." "I wanted to wait until we were face-to-face." "I wanna tell Nathan about our family history." "What we do is difficult for people who were not born into it." "Just as difficult on those who are." "It's a lot to trust to someone." "I've never brought anyone home to meet you before." "It's important to me that he knows me." "All of me." "I don't wanna have to lie to him for the rest of my life." "It'll have to be a family decision." "Of course." "Virginia are you sure he's the one?" "Well, I'm so glad that we finally get to meet you." "I was starting to think you guys didn't actually exist." "I'd like to see my granddaughter more often." "She just doesn't want you to know what we really do out here." "Hey, remember, you're talking to two federal agents." "So how did you two meet?" " Actually, we met at the academy." " Yeah." "L..." "I was, I guess, sort of top dog for a little while and your granddaughter showed up and kicked my butt." " No, I did not." " Yes, you did, Virginia." "That reminds me, why do you guys call her "Red"?" "Yeah, why is that?" "Nathan, why do you want to marry my granddaughter?" " Well, let's not embarrass him." " Oh, no, that's okay." "That's okay." "Well, I..." "Well, I guess she challenges me." "You like challenge?" "I do." "Dude, you have no idea." "Okay, I think we should unpack before dinner." "I just have to run out to the car quickly for something." "Thank you." "Play nice." "Nathan, you better not be on the phone!" "You have to keep your mouth shut." "Here we go." "Reception here really stinks." "Hey, hey, hey." "Ga..." "Ga..." " Gabriel." " What?" "What?" "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "I'll go get help." "Stay with me." "I'll be right back." "Help!" "Somebody call the police!" " Hurry up!" " Nathan, what's wrong?" "I don't understand." " What the hell happened?" " It's Xavier." " Are you sure?" " Yes, I'm sure." " You know who this is?" " Yes." "Did he say anything to you before you left him?" "He said a name." "Gabriel." "Am I the only one bothered that I was talking to this guy five minutes ago and now, he's basically incinerated?" "It is physically impossible for a human body to burn this fast." "Finally." "Sheriff." " Agent Keswick, FBI." "What...?" " That's him?" " Yes, Marcus." "This is Nathan." " Am I missing something here?" "This is our brother Marcus." "Jake, get a shovel and a bag out of the truck." "Let's move this stuff before anyone sees." "There's protocol here." "We gotta get the medical examiner to check this out first." "Virginia, you brought him here, you deal with him." "I am gonna have to tell him." "We've been left with no choice." "Tell me what?" "Virginia, what the hell is going on here?" "I need to show you something." "We have a problem." "Yes, we do." "I need you to keep an open mind." "My family is not only involved in law enforcement we are also hunters, of a sort." "Okay, so you hunt." "What does that have to do with the dead guy?" "It's what we hunt." "Okay, what am I looking at?" "It's what we hunt." "But..." "But these are..." "Werewolves." "Oh, come on." "Give me a break." "What's going on?" " Nathan." " I just need some time." "Nathan." "Nathan." " Virginia, let him go." " Whoever killed Xavier is out there." "Hey, hey, hey." "He's a big boy, he can take care of himself, right?" "It's not a full moon tonight, he's gonna be fine." "Go." "Come on inside." "Come on inside." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." "Go." "Oh, come on." "Hello." "Hey, can you hear me?" "This is Agent Nathan Keswick." "Can you hear anything I'm saying?" "Son of a bitch." "Anybody there?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Somebody here?" "Are you lost?" "Who the hell are you and what are you doing out here?" "I was just out here taking a stroll." "A stroll?" "In the rain?" "I prefer to be out here in nature." "Well, it's not safe." "There's a killer on the loose." "What kind of killer would that be?" "I'm not sure." "Some kind of animal." "Could it have been a wolf?" "What kind of wolf would rip a man apart?" "Something like this." "My name is Gabriel." "You going somewhere?" "Nathan's been gone too long." "We need to go after him." "With Xavier dead, I've got more important things to worry about." " Fine, I'll go alone." " I'll send Jake." "That's impossible." "It's not a werewolf." " It's not a full moon." " I'll go ahead." "Jake, come on." "Let's go." "Nathan!" "Nathan!" " Nathan!" " Nathan!" "Nathan, where are you?" " Nathan!" " Nathan!" "Nathan, answer me!" "Nathan?" " Nathan!" " Red, wait." "Nathan." "Nathan, are you all right?" "Nathan, get up." "Get up." "Get up." "Are you hurt?" "Nathan." "Answer me." "Are you hurt?" "Everything you said was true." " There was a werewolf." " Yeah." "We followed his trail directly to you." " You're lucky to be alive." " He said his name was Gabriel." "I watched him turn." "How did you get away from him?" "I don't think I did." " Did he bite you?" " No, I don't think so." "I'm sorry." "I have to be sure you weren't bitten." "If I was?" "You'll turn into a werewolf and then I'll have to kill you." " You're bleeding." " What?" "Did he bite me?" "No." "No, you're okay." "He's okay." "He just hit his head." "I'll radio Marcus tell him we found Nathan, and meet you back at the house." " I'm gonna see if I can track this thing." " Be careful." "We're dealing with something we've never seen before." " Here, let's go." " Okay." " Come on." " Slow." "Slow." " One, two, three." " Okay." "Okay." "I'm okay." " All right." "You're okay." " I'm okay." "Just take it slow." "Come on." " What's wrong?" " Hold on." "Let me just..." "Okay." "Are you okay?" "Stay right here." "I was looking for you." "What happened?" "Nathan had a run in with a werewolf that can phase at will." " Is he okay?" " Is he bitten?" "No." "No, thank God." "Okay, let's get him in here." "The wolf's name was Gabriel." "That must be the wolf that killed Xavier." "Okay, did he have any special markings?" "Did he have any markings?" "I just watched a man turn into a werewolf." "That may be a common-day occurrence for you people, but not for me." "What the hell's going on here, Virginia?" "The dead man at the end of the driveway he was the leader of one of the last wolf packs." "Our family had a truce with him." "As long as they stayed in the deep woods kept themselves locked away during the full moon cycle we agreed not to hunt them." "Okay, Nathan, what did he look like in human form?" "I don't know." "He's middle-aged, 6 foot..." " We're not dragging him into this." " He is in this." "You brought him into it." "We have a dead pack leader and a wolf who can phase at will." " He can help me." " I won't allow it." "You wanna marry this guy?" "Want him to understand what you do?" "He needs to see if he can stomach it." "Jake is tracking the werewolf." "We can find it without putting Nathan in danger." " Let the man make up his own mind." " Look the only thing that I wanna make my mind up about is going upstairs and getting some sleep." "This is all insane." "I'm impressed he survived a werewolf on the first encounter." "Few people do that." "I don't know." "Maybe he is cut out to be part of this family." "Or maybe somebody wanted him to survive." " Where's Nathan?" " Still in bed." "Exhausted." "East perimeter's clear." " I think we should..." " Marcus!" "Virginia!" "I'm okay." "Hey." "It took all night but I tracked that wolf to just outside Tanner's River before I lost it." "That town is outside the designated territory." "You think the clan's about to go rogue?" "It's possible." "If even one of them set foot inside the town that's a clear violation of the truce." " So?" "We going hunting?" "We are." " All right." " Hey." "That thing I saw last night how do we kill it?" "There's only one way to kill a werewolf." "A silver weapon through the heart, bullet or blade, doesn't matter." "It's an involuntary transformation triggered by the full moon." "It ends at dawn." "This Gabriel seems like a different kind of animal." "You get bitten by a werewolf, you will turn into one on the next full moon." "The effects can be reversed, but only if you kill the wolf that bit you and only if you do it before you make your first human kill." "You kill a human, you're cursed for as long as you live." "So, basically, don't get bitten." "No." "Once you're bitten, you're never the same." "It's like a disease or a drug addiction you can't kick." "The wolf is always a part of you." "You ever turn one back?" "A werewolf, I mean." "Grandmother did." "Once." " Who was it?" " Our grandfather." "That's our family's dirty little secret." "If we're hunting during the day, how do we know they're not wolves?" "They may not look like wolves, but they are." "How do we make sure we don't kill a human?" "Werewolf test." "It's a pellet filled with silver halide paint." "Burns the flesh, marks them, and causes a mild transformation." "Mild transformation?" "What does that mean?" "You'll see." "Okay." "Okay." "All right." "Tanner's River is the edge of their territory." "Anyone from the pack caught within the town is fair game." "And "fair game" means dead." "What the hell happened here?" "It was before the truce." "Over the course of three nights, practically everyone was turned." "Our family had no choice." "They had to be put down." "An entire town?" "That's why it's so important that we never let them out of their territory." "Never let them get close to the rest of civilization." "Truce or no truce we should have wiped them all out a long time ago." "Go." "Go, go, go." "Looks like we got a couple of rogues." " Shooter in position?" " Affirmative." "Nathan, you see your wolf from last night, you let us know." "Virginia!" "I love this." "Nathan." "What are you doing?" " You all right?" " Yeah, thanks to Nathan." " You okay?" " I'm good, yeah." " Is this your wolf?" " No." "Please, don't hurt me!" "Grab her." "Come on." "Come on." "Okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "You're safe now." " Did they hurt you?" " No." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Just tell us what happened." "I was running out of gas, and I pulled off the highway and it said there was a gas station but there wasn't." "There was just dead end." "And that's where they put me." "You and Virginia take her to the hospital." "Tell them I'll be by to file a report." "Virginia will know what to say." "Okay." "Where are you gonna go?" "Jake and I will make sure there's nothing else." "Jake!" "Let's go." "Is she okay?" "Are you sure they didn't hurt you?" "They said they were gonna use me in their next game." "What game?" "I don't know." "But from what they were saying once you go into the game, you never come back." "Come on." "Come on." "Your ancestors were strong." "Their blood is in your veins." "They were unstoppable." "Your ancestors roamed free on this earth." "But now the hunters define us." "They've driven us to this rotten little patch." "They say we're ruled by the moon!" "I say it's all a lie!" "We can change at will." "Well, no one here but us humans." "So it would seem." "Do you see the way they look at you?" "You should have killed Xavier much sooner." "To survive, we must evolve." "Hey." "You okay?" "Thank you." "For what?" "For keeping our secret." "Not saying anything to that girl's parents at the hospital." "Well, it's all about family, right?" "I'm not sure my family has been the best thing for you." "Is there a reason that you never talk about your parents?" "I didn't really know them." "I was so young when they died." "How did they die?" "Killed by a werewolf." "I'm sorry." "What's bothering you?" "Nothing, I'm fine." "I..." "I liked killing that werewolf today." "I enjoyed it." "I felt no sense of remorse whatsoever." "Made me feel powerful." "Is that wrong?" "No." "Tonight, you will learn what it's like to be like us." "To live in a primal state." "If you will it, you will survive." " Set them free." "Let the game begin." " No." "I want you to turn me." "I don't wanna die." "I wanna live." "I wanna be like you." "Come on." "Let's move." "Come on." "Move it." "Just relax now." "I'll end this quickly for you." "Don't move, don't move!" " Stay calm." " Don't kill me." "Don't kill me." " Stay calm." " Don't kill me." " Don't kill me." " It's okay." "It's okay." "Believe me." "You're safe with us." "No, we have to go." "The wolves, they're coming." "They're coming." "It's okay, we've been hearing things about a game." "Is this it, the game?" "They hunt humans?" "Yes." "How did you know that wolf was there?" "Instinct, I guess." "Okay, there's no record of any wolf being able to transform at will." "Nothing." "So, what, this Gabriel is some kind of new breed?" "Being able to transform at will, it changes everything." "Especially if he's teaching the rest of his pack to do the same." "The guy at the farmhouse, he's been with them for weeks." "He said this wolf is also telepathic or something." "He said that Gabriel can somehow communicate with those he's turned." " Is that even possible?" " I don't know, Red." "I'm seeing things that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime." "We have to wipe them out now, every last one of them." "No more excuses, no more truce, no more mercy." "You guys go upstairs, get some rest." "In the morning, we start at Tanner's River work our way to the farmhouse, see if we can pick up their trail." "Gran." "Something about Nathan that bothers me." " What?" " I don't know, it's just a feeling I get." "Keep an eye on him." "Still clear." "Nothing up here to report." "I can't see anything out here either." "We've been looking all day, we must have missed something." " We should lock up here for the night." " Maybe wait till after the full moon." "Check that." "Trip wire is gonna keep those things out?" "Lt'll buy us some time." "The full moon should bring them out." "I'm looking forward to it." "Jake, make sure the perimeter is tight." "There can't be gaps." "Yeah, okay." "Virginia will have eyes both directions." "We can tie to this tree over here." "All right, hang on a second." "I just gotta finish this." "Nathan?" "Nathan?" "Do you need that?" "Wait a second." " Virginia, move!" " Don't kill him!" "Hit him before he moves!" "You put us all in danger." "We need to lock him up." "What happened?" "You've been infected, Nathan." "Last night, you turned into a werewolf." " Did I hurt anyone?" " No." "No." "Thank God." "How did this happen?" "Gabriel must have bitten you." "I should have looked more closely." "You said..." "You said that if I turned into a werewolf you were gonna have to kill me." "Wait here." "I'll get you some clothes." "You should have let me kill him." " Not everything is black and white." " It is to me." "That's your problem." "If you could see anything outside of being a hunter..." "I don't wanna see anything outside of being a hunter." "This is what I am." "I'm good at it." "I like being good at it." "Your narrow view of the world is a liability." "No, I'm not the bad guy here." "You're the one who's wrong." "Flat-out wrong." "First responsibility is always to protect this family." "Always." "You shouldn't have brought him here." "Nathan is family, as far as I'm concerned." "Forgive me for wanting to have some sort of life outside of being a hunter." "Marcus, if it had been Jake, Virginia or me would you have been able to kill so easily?" "We all make mistakes, Marcus." "No one got hurt, that's the important thing." "It is time to forgive and move on." "We have to stick together, now more than ever before." "We know who infected him, right?" "He hasn't killed anyone." "We can turn him back." "We gotta hunt Gabriel anyway, right?" "It's not that simple, Jake." "There's repercussions." "They're manageable." "It's not gonna turn out well for you and him." "That'll be my problem to deal with, after we turn him back, not yours." "I got him into this, I'm gonna get him out with or without your help, Marcus." " I'll help." "I'll help." "Only because I wanna hunt that son of a bitch down and kill him myself." "For the record, if that does happen to me I would want one of you to kill me rather than let me live like that." "I'll make a note of it for future reference." "That's it." "You can do it." "Yes, you can." "There is a beast in all of us just waiting to be summoned." "Feel it coursing through your veins." "You've got to give in to it." "Get rid of that painful human side." "It's just too hard." "Really?" "Perhaps you should lie down." " Take a nap." " I'd like that." "Sleep tight." "So shall we try again?" "You know, it's an amazing feeling when you are in the throes of transformation." "It is such joy." "Such ecstasy." "And to think that you can have that sensation whenever you want it." "That's what you desire." "That's what you thirst for." "Now, let that desire drive you." "It's happening." "Well done." "Well, if he can do it, who's next?" "Hey." " How's he doing?" " Nathan?" "He's strong." "He's a good man." "Yeah." "He is." "Any activity?" "It's all quiet." "I plotted out their movements over the last three days." "Given what the guy at the farmhouse said they must still be hiding out in Tanner's River." "I wish he could have given us more information." "He was hysterical." "Whole thing must have been like a bad dream." "Oh, this is a bad dream." "Do you agree with Marcus?" "About Nathan?" "I don't know, Red." "I just want all this to be over." "Hey." " So is it time?" " It is." "The wolf stays here." "The license plates." "We should have noticed before." " Noticed what?" " They're all out of state." "They've been luring people off the highway for quite a while." "Go." "Go." "Go." "One, two, three." "There's gotta be a way in." "Where can they be?" "We've been here." "It's clear." "Got something here." "Looks like someone's been busy." "This should make you sleep right through it." " It's for the best, believe me." " Okay." "Thank you." "Thank you for being so concerned with my safety." "Oh, it's not for your safety, it's for my own." "Is it true?" "That you were able to turn your husband back after he'd been infected?" "It's true." "Was it the right choice?" "That's a difficult question, Nathan." "Please." "I would really like to know the answer." "He liked being a wolf." "He resented that I took the choice away from him." "On more than one occasion, I found him trying to turn himself back." "Eventually, he did and so I had to kill him." "I'm sorry for what happened to you." "I know that you are a victim in all of this." "But I will not let my granddaughter go through what I had to." "Not if I can help it." "Okay, you and Jake head down that way, I'll go down here." "Splitting up is not a good idea." "We've gotta make sure none of them get past us." "I'll be fine." "What is this?" "Welcome." "I've been looking forward to this." "Get some rest." "Nathan!" "Gabriel, I presume?" "After I've had a bad dream I find it's helpful to get a good stretch." " Where are my brothers?" " Well worrying about their future, I hope." "Our newbies are eager to make their first kill." "And me?" "I intend to kill you myself." "The last female warrior of the hunter blood line." "You're a monster." "You and all your kind." "Now we're the perfect match." "I am gonna kill you, Gabriel." "Once upon a time I would have run." "Jake." "Jake!" "Come on, Jake!" "Hunters, we honor you." "For our newcomers, you will be their first kills." "You will give them the opportunity to show what they're made of." "The chance to become permanent members of the clan." "Set them free." "Jake." "Jake, we've gotta stick together!" " Always." " Jake!" "Let's go." "Come on." "Come on, Jake." "We gotta find someplace to make a stand." "We're never gonna outrun them." "Find a weapon or something." "Marcus." "They never checked my boots." "Our odds of survival just improved dramatically." "Let's go." "Come on, Jake." "Come on." "Come on." "Drop back." "I'll pull them to bridges." "Come on!" "Come on." "Come on." "Where'd they go?" " Jake!" " Where'd they go?" "I don't know." "Jake." "Go back..." "Go back to town and get Virginia." "Get Virginia, Jake." " What about you?" " I'm good." "I'm good, I'm good." "I just..." "I'm gonna find them." " Okay, go." "Go, go, go!" " You sure?" "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" "Well, we got rid of some of the weaker ones." "Did you expect them to kill this many?" "No, I did not." "Lyra!" "Where's my sister?" "Done." "They're not back yet." "Something must be wrong." " I'm going after them." " I'll come with you." "No." "You'll only slow me down." "Oh, man." "They'll pay for this." "I promise you." "Don't fool yourself, Nathan." "You're with us now." "Look deep inside yourself, Nathan." "You know it's true." "You wanna be a wolf." "Nathan." "Their death was inevitable." "Yours doesn't have to be." "Welcome." "Don't be afraid." "It's just me, in your head." "Oh, yeah?" "Well, then come out and face me." " Nathan!" "Nathan!" " lf you kill me, you'll change back." "Think of what I've given you." "Nathan!" "Nathan!" "Nathan." " Nathan!" " Virginia." " Virginia, are you okay?" " Just get me down." " Okay." " Just get me down." "Where are my brothers?" " Gotta get you down." " Nathan, where are my brothers?" " We don't have time for this." " No." "No." "Should you choose to remain with her, she will kill you." "That is, of course, unless you turn her." "You could have it all, Nathan." "Turn her and it's all yours." "Tonight, I will be coming for her." "When I was a little girl all I wanted was to grow up so I could hunt." "Carry on the family tradition." "It seemed so grand, so exciting." "It made us special." "The secret we couldn't share." "Knowing something about the world no one else did." "It was magical." "I felt the same way." "We all did." "Now it's all come down to you." "You mustn't let a single one of them live." "I don't plan to." "Here, wear these." "We don't want you touching any silver." "Okay." "Okay, I'm gonna head back down, all right?" "Hey." "You forgot these." "Got it." "Okay, I think that's the last of the guns." "And all fully loaded with silver." "Good." "Then we're ready." "I think we're running out of time." " I'm gonna end this tonight." " Yeah." "I think we better get me in my cage." "I can feel it starting." "I'm gonna make this right." "Virginia, it's time." "You go, I'll put him in his cage." "Hello, Virginia." "You gotta try a bit harder, Virginia." "Aren't you the slippery one?" "Too bad about your brothers, Virginia." "I wish I could tell you they died well." "But in the end I find all pure humans are cowards." "You missed the heart." "No!" "I'm so sorry, Nathan." "I told you I'd kill you, Gabriel." "You'll never kill all of us." "No." "Nathan." "Nathan?" "Nathan?" "Nathan?" "Nathan!" "Nathan?" "Nathan." " You're bleeding." " It's okay, it's not my blood." "Gabriel's dead." "I think the rest of the pack too." "Good." "That means it's just me, then." "It wasn't supposed to end this way." "It doesn't have to end." "I wanna have a life with you, Virginia." "That would be nice." "Well, you just lock me away for the full moon." "That doesn't work." "Virginia, you've been bitten." "Hey, this gives us a choice now." "We can do this." "It doesn't have to end this way." "I was so stupid." "I wanted a normal life." "I wanted everything my family fought to protect." " I'm sorry I ever brought you here." " Hey, I'm not sorry." "I'm not sorry." "Okay, we can do this." "Trust me, everything's gonna be okay." "I promise I will find a way to control the change." "Okay?" "I love you, Nathan." "I always will." ""Her parents warned her not to venture beyond the edge of their village for within the forest lived an unspeakable evil." "An evil so powerful the elders only dared to speak of it in whispers.""
