FEMALE VOICE:
The legend of the werewolf
it's common folklore in these parts.
The moors most of all.
None more truly gruesome though,
than the story of Freddy Campbell.
For I knew the poor fellow and his victims
well.
[phone vibrating]
Hello.
PHONE:
'Is it done?'
Oui,
how you say? Bagged and booted.
'Thank fuck for that'
'Well done old boy.'
'Now dump that Scottish cunt
and get back to civilization ASAP.'
'Meet me at The Black Horse tomorrow night
7pm sharp.'
OK.
May old acquaintance be forgot
for the sake of Auld Lang Syne.
For old acquaintance be forgot
for the sake of Auld Lang Syne.
For Auld Lang Syne, my dear.
For Auld Lang Syne.
We'll sing
a song of gladness here
for the sake of Auld Lang Syne.

This is the life, Mildred.
Aye, that it is.
The most beautiful place in the world.
Aye.
HAMISH:
Aye, Scotland.
Give us one of your stories.
One of your grannies.
One of my grannies?
Aye.
Aye, well OK. Have you heard the one
about the frog and the lettuce?
Only about a million times... Christ.
Okay, well, don't get your knickers in a twist!
Which ones have you not heard then?
You are joking Mildred...
How am I supposed to know the stories
I've never heard? Hmm?
Well, if you're going to be like that,
you'll get nothing then.
Aye... Grand.
Just a minute.
Ahhhh!

You silly old fart!
[laughing]
Amazing.

[evil music]
HAMISH:
So?
Are we going to hear your grannies story or what?
Aye, well, if you're ready like?
Aye.
It be an evil moon.
[Chuckles]
Can I just stop you there Mildred?
That's the greatest opening to a story I've ever heard.
It be an evil moon.
Amazing.
Shut it, y'drunken old goat!
Any more of your shenanigans and you'll get nothing
and you'll be making your own porridge tomorrow!
Silent as a moose,
[Whispers]
Silent as a moose.
It be an evil moon
the stars flickered
and the mountain slept silently.
An old sheepdog sat a rock watching his flock.
Not once had he lost a sheep.
Even when he slept,
he could listen for any possible danger.
One of the sheep approaches him and asks him,
So why do you guard us every night?
The old dog said
because it's my job.
The sheep ponders, then asks another question.
So what is our job then?
The dog says, your job?
Your job is to give birth every year
so your babies can be eaten.
Bloody hell...
Is that it?
Aye.
Bit morbid like...
Your granny told you this?
Aye, when I was a wee bairn.
Fuck me Mildred...
I'm going for a slash.
[thunder]
[twig snap]
Hello?
You okay?
FREDDY:
Aye.
What the hell are you doing?
Who are you?
What's your name?
Freddy.
What are you doing?
Car problems.
I see.
You like whiskey, Freddy?
Aye.
Come on then.
Come on.
Come meet Mildred.
You hungry?
Just about to cook some steaks,
We're staying at the bothy round the back there, see?
[sinister music]
Mildred.
MILDRED:
Oh, What's this?
Look what I found?
Oh, hello.
What's your name?
His name is Freddy.
Doesn't speak much?
Aye.
MILDRED:
So are you camping?
What brings you out here?
Car problems.
Leave the fella alone, Mildred.
Here, sit down.
I'll get another chair.
HAMISH:
Have a wee drop of this.
[sniffing]
Oh, oh
Howl!!!!!
[Slurping]
Don't worry, Hamish is a great mechanic
aren't you, love?
Aye.
Relax here tonight.
Sleep by the fire
and we'll help you fix your car in the morning.
Great.
Do you like steaks?
Of course he does.
Look at the man!
He's half beast!
You don't like like that from eating salads
and that vegan shite.
Angus ribeye from aunt Ethel's farm.
[Slurping]
[ravenous grumbles]
How do you like it?
Burnt.
Not raw?
Nah, I like my meat burnt.
Thank you very much.
So you guys hiking or?
Where you come from?
-Inverness, we're here on a wee holiday.
Hamish needs to lose weight.
What?
HAMISH:
Might rain tomorrow.
My God.. Messenger of doom.
This OK?
Aye
Oh, thank you.
Thanks doll.. Amazing.
[sinister music]
Thanks for stopping.
We haven't seen a car in hours.
Bit out the way. Where you headed?
We don't know.
The map said that the bothy was on
the other side of the lock,
that we were meant to stay at tonight
but then someone stole our boat.
Someone stole your boat?
Yeah. Yes.
Bastard.
But honestly
anywhere will do us fine.
We're freezing...
Is this him?
No, I don't think so.
This guy, he wasn't
human...
[Laughing]
and then she ran over the dog.
Hamish! My god...
Don't listen to him, Freddy.
Drunken old goat!
More whiskey?
I think we've had enough time for some sleep I think.
Aye,
you're probably right.
Don't worry, Freddy.
We won't tell anyone you're a werewolf.
Plenty them in our family, I can tell you.
Just don't go eaten any nice people will you?
Night, Freddy.
[birds singing]
Good luck, pal.
Mildred.

He's gone.
Mildred?
[Northumbrian pipe music]
Howl!!!
Howl!!!
Howl!!!
[evil music]
Where is he?
I have no fucking idea!
Where is he?
Go fuck yourself!
Where is he? Or I'll cut your wife's eye out.
HAMISH:
