neighboring villages talk now why00:13:00

night mister south delegate she was00:13:13
9 years old her little madeleine00:13:15
she died00:13:21
as if by a butcher00:13:25
there are two arms of the house in the00:13:27
garden00:13:29
we have never seen that what is it that00:13:30
means00:13:38
I understand your pain00:13:40
and your anguish there are00:13:43
in fact events happening in this country00:13:46
which worry us00:13:48
a lot00:13:51
and this is what brings us here Mr.00:13:56
Mr. Duhamel is a dragoon captain00:13:58
in the Clermont regiment, brown00:14:03
gentlemen,00:14:04
he and his men will take up their00:14:07
quarters here00:14:09
in accordance with the mission entrusted to them00:14:11
by the intendant of Languedoc but I beg you gentlemen00:14:13
to sit down we will tell you everything00:14:15
we know00:14:29
you will bring us to see00:14:37
I will leave the floor to you00:14:39
sir I will not beat around the00:14:41
bush I will speak to you like a soldier00:14:44
I received the order to come to Gévaudan00:14:46
with my company to destroy a00:14:48
ferocious beast which had been raging for00:14:49
some time to the east of your region00:14:53
we hunted until at00:14:54
the Margeride mountain00:14:56
the difficulties of this country allowed her to00:14:57
escape from us now she00:14:59
has two children killed in two00:15:01
days with us doubt is only possible and00:15:04
finally to bleed my little one like she00:15:05
did00:15:06
what a beast what kind of beast00:15:17
do you mean from corpse to corpse00:15:20
yes00:15:22
how many00:15:25
several00:15:33
how many00:15:38
since I was in the campaign killing it00:15:40
17 times00:15:45
in how long00:15:48
a little less than a month00:15:51
and before that00:15:54
let's say at the time00:15:57
the first attack dates back to the beginning00:15:58
of the summer00:16:01
and it does not attack children00:16:04
yes00:16:06
especially children00:16:09
and sometimes there are women too the00:16:11
first victim was a00:16:12
30 year old peasant near Langogne her life was00:16:14
saved thanks to her cows which changed00:16:15
the beast a blow from the horn but if she is00:16:17
not dead she was able to say what00:16:19
this beast looked like she00:16:21
gave a description00:16:24
to which00:16:26
we can hardly believe00:16:28
she thought she saw00:16:30
a sort of monster the size of a00:16:33
young bull with a00:16:34
formidable chest muscle from Lyon00:16:37
wide pasta and scratches like00:16:40
that of a bear00:16:48
that's what she said no you see00:16:50
nothing very serious the emotion made00:16:52
this woman leave common sense I00:16:55
think I believe that it is a00:16:58
particularly cruel wolf a wolf00:17:15
and yet00:17:17
another beast which attacks man to00:17:19
bleed and devour him it is more of a wolf00:17:22
Mr. Duhamel has another hypothesis00:17:24
yes there is a ten years ago a00:17:26
hyena escaped from a menagerie00:17:28
during the Beaucaire fair we00:17:30
found it and you are near Lyon the00:17:32
thing could have reproduced00:17:34
anyway that is not the00:17:36
question what matters is to00:17:37
beat it as quickly as possible what do you plan to00:17:40
put all the men in the country on00:17:42
alert00:17:44
how can we help you00:17:46
are there not enough of you and well00:17:48
armed for the 4 weeks this beast is00:17:50
playing on me I was probably00:17:52
unlucky but above all I was a bad second.00:17:54
I will spend all these forests and all00:17:56
these mountains on crime but for that I00:17:58
need hundreds of touts00:17:59
ready to run at the first call of the tocin00:18:01
but it is September and the00:18:04
work in the fields does not wait, what is the00:18:05
point of sowing today if in the00:18:06
spring you no longer have a mouth to00:18:08
feed00:18:11
and of course I forbid that children00:18:12
and soil guard the flocks and that he00:18:15
will do it in their place you will act as if00:18:16
it were winter you will bring in the animals00:18:18
or do not think mister sugar delegates00:18:22
are given instructions00:18:25
that sir you call the means to00:18:27
be obeyed00:18:29
I beg you00:18:38
the attacks00:18:41
they are coming to take our sons from us to00:18:42
carry out the war to build the00:18:44
roads we are left to starve00:18:46
when our wheat rots on the ground and when00:18:48
an evil beast comes we do not know00:18:49
everything devours our children it is still00:18:51
us who must run after it I00:18:52
know your problem but think00:18:55
while we speak there00:18:58
this beauty is undoubtedly looking again00:19:02
I saw Mr. Duhamel and his men at00:19:03
work he does not spare their effort00:19:04
believe me00:19:06
with your help everything will go very quickly so00:19:16
[Music]00:19:29
the snow00:19:32
already the snow00:19:36
it has been there00:19:44
[Music]00:19:53
we didn't have a summer but00:19:56
winter still came at its right00:19:57
time, hypocritical casually if you00:20:01
start to complain in December,00:20:03
grandmother hasn't finished hearing you00:20:28
about the snow we sees better the tracks of the00:20:31
animals00:20:32
conditions that it stopped falling00:20:37
this morning there were footprints00:20:39
that we could follow like a road00:20:47
all the blood of the little one found00:20:51
the character funny to stand up to00:20:55
so her mother told her said if you are not00:20:57
more obedient than the evil beast carries you away00:20:59
it was not rather who went to00:21:01
the tables that she went to look for the00:21:03
card00:21:05
and you prefer that I talk about winter00:21:06
and snow we talk about what we have00:21:08
in our heads and what we00:21:10
all have here in our heads the beast00:21:13
in our stomachs is something else00:21:17
just to go from home to00:21:19
the fountain we die of fear and I I00:21:22
know some people who haven't barricaded their00:21:24
doors for weeks who have to00:21:26
fight with their cow or a handful00:21:28
of hay,00:21:31
try not to think about this fury,00:21:35
you're hungry, it's because of her if00:21:37
you're cold. it's because of her if00:21:39
the time it rings because of her and00:21:40
if you miss your men it's because he's00:21:42
running behind this card00:21:50
I'm sure00:21:54
never seen it for almost 3 months I've00:21:58
been told every day the same thing00:22:03
they never came back this late it00:22:06
's dark00:22:08
they had to stop at the inn to00:22:10
drink to their success00:22:19
that all the chaplins of the diocese and00:22:21
the bishop00:22:26
after all00:22:28
it amuses you to believe00:22:36
it was something else00:22:40
finally what you think00:22:44
why does Saint-André only to children00:22:48
because it is not for nothing that we00:22:49
also call him the sick one the00:22:55
rest of us will soon have finished our00:22:57
time00:22:59
and when we will be underground there will be00:23:01
more youth to replace us00:23:04
so she will be able to have00:23:06
fun dancing the sarabande in our great00:23:08
heroes who pull what belongs to them00:23:09
in each of our ankles I don't want to00:23:12
hear you00:23:17
even if you are right I believe that this00:23:19
evening it would be over00:23:22
God will have pity on the children of00:23:24
masonry00:23:49
then00:23:50
you have him you have killed him00:24:05
the recriminations of the peasants have00:24:07
arrived in high places00:24:14
I can say that I am paid in00:24:16
gratitude00:24:18
give later on the return00:24:21
women found the courage to00:24:22
push their shutters00:24:24
to insult us00:24:29
yesterday my men asked for a little00:24:31
bread and water00:24:32
we didn't just deign their response00:24:37
and when we find an egg or00:24:38
cheese to buy we pay for it four00:24:40
times its price00:24:44
but when they have to reproach me00:24:47
you know well00:24:52
for not having succeeded yet00:24:56
I will cross these villages one day with the00:24:58
beast through my saddle and I will be00:24:59
celebrated as a hero and I would always have00:25:01
been right00:25:04
but I have to get this result, let's00:25:07
run away,00:25:10
I'm waiting for 2000 men to beat me, I00:25:11
'm told that the car,00:25:14
the beast is in trouble, but it's a coward,00:25:16
wait for daylight to00:25:17
warn me, let's see, captain, the terror of00:25:18
these peasants and more normal than your00:25:20
courage when I need this chance00:25:28
with this good nation the fight is00:25:30
not equal00:25:33
10 times we should have beaten it00:25:36
when we could attract it the guns00:25:38
did not go hold one of my men to00:25:41
charge without in the clear a00:25:42
wall had to stand up in front of00:25:44
him00:25:45
the time to go around it the beast was00:25:47
already far away00:25:49
and today00:25:51
traces all brothers00:25:54
and still warm00:25:58
and up to the mark of the beast00:26:00
think00:26:04
up to a pond bridge00:26:09
what do you want the dogs flowers00:26:10
on it they had00:26:17
no we are no match for00:26:22
this thing00:26:27
so Mr delegate00:26:29
do you think that we still have to00:26:31
make a wolf00:26:33
you are better placed than me to00:26:34
decide that if you tell me that it is00:26:37
a wild beast I would believe it to be a wild beast but00:26:41
that will still be far from the mark but it is00:26:42
36 false going at a time that we should say00:26:44
there is a little more lion is gorilla00:26:46
dragon chimeras the beast of the focalypse00:26:49
if you prefer00:26:52
that's what you think00:26:53
the beast of Gévaudan has made a new00:26:55
victim and Captain Duhamel has00:26:57
gone crazy even no our bishop00:26:59
himself did given00:27:01
40 hour prayers00:27:08
this is beginning to be exposed in all the00:27:10
churches00:27:14
as so many of the greatest calamities00:27:15
which means that for him too the00:27:18
beast of Gévaudan is not an ordinary animal00:27:21
stop him on this a world which will be00:27:22
him tomorrow throughout the diocese00:27:25
midnight tomorrow00:27:29
my god00:27:32
it's already Christmas00:27:35
[Music]00:27:42
[Applause]00:27:43
[Music]00:27:51
a ferocious beast unknown in our00:27:55
climates the same suddenly as if by a00:27:58
miracle00:27:59
wherever it shows itself it leaves00:28:02
bloody traces of its cruelty and00:28:06
men most intrepid are00:28:08
seized with fear at the thought of this00:28:11
horrible animal destructive of their00:28:14
species00:28:18
to see your children slaughtered by this00:28:21
monster that God armed against their lives00:28:25
do you not have reason to fear having00:28:28
deserved by your disturbances that God00:28:31
struck by such a terrible scourge,00:28:36
scourge of God, now everything is00:28:39
going to be our fault,00:28:42
tell me a little for what great sin00:28:44
we deserved this, Mr. Priest,00:28:47
what were the crimes of my daughter and00:28:50
of Châteauneuf so that the good Lord takes00:28:52
revenge on our little David00:28:55
but my Lord did not want to say that,00:28:58
understand me well, he wanted00:29:01
everyone to examine their conscience00:29:03
that we offer God more00:29:06
repentance and more virtues ah it is not00:29:10
the best way to regain his00:29:12
mercy in any case the good Lord00:29:14
it's not us who made him angry00:29:15
and the bishop it's much better to look00:29:17
in his garden ah no ah a little bit of what00:29:20
you say and well let's not support it's00:29:22
a beautiful Mr. from Paris, your bishop,00:29:23
he came here to change our00:29:26
habits, the Parisian liturgy,00:29:27
what do we have to do in Gévaudan00:29:29
and this is the result,00:29:31
what did you look for there, we00:29:33
had within ceremonies at our00:29:34
churches and the good Lord loves them as00:29:35
they were now he no longer recognizes00:29:37
that's why he abandoned us yes00:29:39
yes abandoned to ourselves and the00:29:42
devil's henchmen are having a hearty joy00:29:44
but what is all that about? to have with00:29:47
the evil00:29:49
in fact not the innocent sir the priest00:29:54
this animal at least the arms not00:29:57
the idea that we need the steps00:30:01
you too you too you peddle00:30:04
all these 100 meters nonsense00:30:12
like the others the day yes and still00:30:15
from afar but at night00:30:18
it's not good if walking or going00:30:19
into certain houses00:30:21
up there they have air all over the00:30:22
country00:30:24
and bad spells slide into the00:30:26
valley like a leaf in the autumn00:30:31
these people are there Bessières my big ones00:30:42
finally what the wolves do not need to00:30:45
wear to attack the herds00:30:51
and eat the children of men00:30:55
me in their habits00:31:00
and everything you want there are00:31:01
still very strange things00:31:08
when Châteauneuf discovered our00:31:09
little David at the bottom from the ravine00:31:12
he first thought he was sleeping but00:31:16
why00:31:18
because he had his hat firmly00:31:20
on his face like someone who wants to sleep00:31:21
in the sun00:31:27
we could have passed by 10 times it's00:31:29
worrying00:31:34
that's my daughter was found like that00:31:38
by chance00:31:40
too, little Molinie leaning on a00:31:42
rock as if she wanted to look at the00:31:44
landscape we had to have everything so that00:31:46
the head went on one side and the body on00:31:47
the other00:31:48
all that that proves nothing and especially not00:31:51
that brave peasants like00:31:53
you have anything to do with00:31:56
all these hours00:31:59
we know what we know, do00:32:05
you know my00:32:06
Muratelle cousins who live in Coup Four, they00:32:09
came to see us yesterday, it00:32:11
happened to them a funny00:32:12
adventure it was last November00:32:16
she was returning from the Pouget Fair by00:32:18
the road which runs along the Bois de Favor,00:32:34
arriving at the height of the wood there is00:32:36
the mare who shows signs00:32:37
of worry and stops00:32:45
my cousin goes down to see what she00:32:46
had and at the same time a man comes out00:32:50
of the forests00:33:01
and tells her that the horse is limping that she00:33:03
can't continue like that00:33:04
who is going to guide them by a shortcut00:33:07
he takes the beast's foot as if to00:33:09
prove that 'she was injured under the00:33:10
hoof that's when my cousin saw the00:33:12
man's arm it was all covered in00:33:14
hair so long and so tight that it looked like00:33:17
fur00:33:29
my cousin got scared she started the00:33:31
mare again gallop and the man disappeared00:33:33
running into the woods00:33:39
a few minutes later she met00:33:42
a group of hunters he was tracking the00:33:44
beast which had taken refuge in the Favard woods00:33:52
this man who wanted to lead them to00:33:53
precisely where the beast was00:33:55
you know who was the priest00:33:57
Antoine Chastel the son of Jean Chastel00:34:01
the game ranger of Bessière00:34:05
you say00:34:08
I know him well Jean Chastel the manga00:34:14
we don't see each other often but we have remained00:34:17
good friends00:34:19
he is an honest Christian00:34:23
the father I'm not saying but the son is a00:34:25
renegade it's not for nothing that the00:34:27
Saracens tattooed a cross under00:34:29
his foot so that each of his steps is00:34:32
a force of Jesus Christ00:34:39
you went there to see00:34:42
and even if it was true it is his fault00:34:45
if the barbarians that we take prisoner00:34:47
on the sea then why does he hide00:34:49
like a plague victim in the caves of00:34:50
the tenazier00:34:52
and for this company of Molos admitted00:34:54
wild00:34:57
undoubtedly because these dogs are00:34:58
more charitable than you00:35:07
we are right only00:35:12
we had the beast00:35:14
here are now two new00:35:16
curses00:35:18
suspicion00:35:20
and the canon00:35:25
the cholestel only Antoine Chastel00:35:27
your cousins00:35:35
when we make you see and touch the00:35:37
corpse of the beast you will be ashamed of00:35:39
what you have thought00:35:43
then00:35:45
by going about it as we go about it we are00:35:47
not ready to have it and your bells00:35:49
will sing the same song except that at00:35:51
Christmas glat and toxin00:35:59
during the bloody winter of 176500:36:02
Captain Duhamel organizes00:36:04
gigantic beaten on Sunday February 700:36:07
he mobilizes the men of 78 parishes00:36:09
of Gévaudan 40 Dovergne and wines of00:36:12
Rouergue 27,000 peasants try to00:36:16
reduce the beast00:36:18
[Music]00:36:31
the beast is raised it goes towards the00:36:34
troillère we push it towards the ford00:36:37
and hold the edges of the river the00:36:39
men of Malzieu there are two or three00:36:41
bonuses and the priest00:36:48
look00:36:53
to pull it let's00:36:56
stay here once madness it seems like it00:36:59
passes the watch all the way like00:37:00
a monkey like a man00:37:03
he will have to pull it first that it00:37:04
reaches our shore but good fire without00:37:06
fire00:37:09
but its petrified my word it will00:37:11
escape us again00:37:13
[Applause]00:37:24
it's too far my neck did not carry00:37:27
misery of misery the others why00:37:30
didn't they shoot was all alone what do you mean,00:37:31
where are the men from Malzieu,00:37:35
they haven't come? I heard Monsieur00:37:37
Lafont, give them Monsieur, but they00:37:39
can't take it anymore. I'm too miserable and00:37:41
tired, running from place to place00:37:43
every Sunday with a raw stomach.00:37:45
you realize that this00:37:46
time it would be cooked with and the others00:37:48
all the others who are not as00:37:49
cold as fine you will miss them00:37:52
next Sunday sir it's00:37:53
France I demand exemplary punishment00:37:55
I will put them00:37:58
but the diction you fatality the beast00:38:01
once again had escaped men00:38:05
[Music]00:38:13
[Music]00:38:22
[Music]00:38:25
with spring returning00:38:28
you will understand00:38:31
sir the south delegate00:38:34
that it is not possible for me00:38:36
to keep the shepherds in the villages00:38:49
you do not drink00:38:52
thank you I I'm not thirsty00:38:56
so I just have to do my00:38:58
shopping,00:38:59
you have been my only customer for weeks,00:39:07
they will be accompanied00:39:09
by soldiers00:39:12
to the limited extent of my means00:39:18
and as the evil beast has never00:39:21
ventured00:39:22
near the groups where there were men,00:39:28
I tried a new ruse00:39:32
which I hope will have more00:39:34
success00:39:36
than my other enterprises00:39:45
[Applause]00:39:58
[Applause]00:40:11
you are going to make us feel bad00:40:27
[Applause]00:40:43
[Applause]00:41:15
[Applause]00:41:40
the parties00:41:46
the young shepherd thus leaves valiantly00:41:49
in the lead at the beast of Gévaudan his name is00:41:52
Jacques fortefet and it is said that he is in00:41:55
despair at having let the monster escape00:42:01
but Mr. Denval I believe that you00:42:03
will find in this young peasant a00:42:05
valiant help or you will teach him that His00:42:07
Majesty has decided to reward his00:42:08
courage by taking charge of his education00:42:11
we will make him an officer I will see him00:42:14
arrive safely00:42:16
I count much more on00:42:18
fellows of this type than on the00:42:20
dragoons of Mr. Duhamel without doubt00:42:23
Mr. Duhamel and his soldiers did00:42:25
not meet our expectations but their00:42:27
good will is not yet oh I00:42:30
am convinced of your accident no I00:42:32
will only let you say that00:42:33
dragons are made for war,00:42:36
hunters for hunting it is also00:42:38
the opinion of His Majesty has00:42:45
[Applause]00:42:49
in the face of the worrying proportions that00:42:52
this affair is taking and there immediately00:42:54
thought of your fine reputation00:42:56
you are rightly considered the best00:42:59
Louvier in France how many wolves00:43:01
have you already attached to your painting00:43:03
of hunting00:43:04
in admittedsi century more than a thousand00:43:07
Your Excellency we count well that00:43:10
you will very quickly add that of00:43:11
Gévaudan to the number of your victims it00:43:14
will be the jewel of your crown00:43:16
and a question in all the gazettes00:43:18
that of the misdeeds of this devil of animal00:43:20
I hope that it will soon be more00:43:22
about your exploits the king00:43:25
cares a lot because so much misfortune00:43:27
stops or rather00:43:31
and then suddenly Erics are not the00:43:32
only ones to talk about the misfortune as they00:43:34
say beyond the borders we are making fun00:43:36
of us here is what we could read a00:43:38
few days ago in a London paper00:43:41
an army strong of 120,000 men00:43:44
was defeated by this animal which after00:43:46
having a valet all the way to leave00:43:48
is to find defeated by a cat whose00:43:51
kittens you had devoured.00:43:54
Mind is definitely not the strong point00:43:57
of writers from across the Channel.00:44:03
I will show them what00:44:05
a Norman hunter can do on his own. We are00:44:08
counting on it00:44:14
[Applause]00:44:24
in the name of our good King Louis00:44:48
prejudice to the rewards of00:44:53
3400 pounds already promised by the00:44:57
stewards of the interesting provinces00:45:01
it's a nice round00:45:05
if you had succeeded in killing this animal you00:45:08
would be rich today00:45:11
you must have hit the shoulder flaw00:45:13
that I did it more than 10 times sir00:45:15
but it could be hard as a00:45:16
rock I hardly scratched it00:45:19
E00:45:23
curious00:45:28
on the table that I see a little00:45:36

on the back she has a big [ __ ] which00:46:00
goes non-stop she stands crushed00:46:02
to the ground with her rear a little raised but00:46:04
it's big no claws in front00:46:05
sinks into the earth also she has00:46:08
big [ __ ] that jump on the sides of00:46:09
her mouth she has it so wide as your00:46:12
whole head it would hold00:46:22
your beast does not look like it00:46:32
keep your jokes to astonish your00:46:34
little friends but none of these00:46:36
comedies with me you hear I want to00:46:38
know the truth but I swear to you that00:46:40
it is the truth00:46:44
is consistent with all those that00:46:46
have been made to us so far you have swallowed00:46:47
like a naive I beg you Sir00:46:49
you come here to insult me I did00:46:51
not think that it was in the00:46:52
customs of the court the court is when00:46:55
it is appropriate to to be serious when it is00:46:56
appropriate should I think that I00:46:58
have given you the opportunity to distract yourself00:46:59
let's see gentlemen what is happening here00:47:01

still offer me the spectacle of these00:47:14
dragons in petticoats I wish for this00:47:16
poor country sir that you00:47:18
leave it with acclamations as00:47:20
I leave on your colibet00:47:26

[Music]00:47:38
and you think carefully about the regiment in00:47:41
which you will want to serve later00:47:43
since the king gives you the choice,00:47:56
you have no indulgence for the00:47:58
captain of the Hamel, sir,00:48:02
allow me to tell you that you should00:48:03
not have aggravated the pain he00:48:04
has for his failure, he does not deserve it, it is00:48:08
appropriate that we all be united,00:48:12
would you like, so I burdens me with00:48:13
clumsiness I know I know that your00:48:16
knowledge of hunting is without equal but00:48:18
you do not know this country it is00:48:22
difficult what is happening there and out of the00:48:25
ordinary00:48:26
the essence there is my business you00:48:28

news to assemble the folds00:48:30
the soldiers of Mr. due to even are00:48:32

king entrusted me with a mission and you00:48:37
will understand that I want to bring it as I00:48:40
wish00:48:41

I intend not to be hindered on the00:48:45
ground by other rockets00:48:47

[Applause]00:49:00

Gévaudan is no longer there the affair of a00:49:06
single man the top of the country and vincés00:49:09
are irritated but the peasants are00:49:11
more satisfied without finishing the00:49:13
chores the beast however00:49:17
continues its ravages00:49:18
[Applause]00:49:33
patient precise organized00:49:37
the old man puts all his long00:49:39
experience at the service of what he00:49:42
imagines will be his last great00:49:45
adventure00:49:46
[Applause]00:49:56

[Music ]00:52:22
what is it me sir00:52:28
we bring a message for you00:52:43
what time is it00:53:31
[Applause]00:53:36
we are going to finish with the beast of00:53:38
Gévaudan but it is not very comfortable00:53:41
you know it has been 15 days since I I00:53:44
slept under a roof00:54:05
it's a pet store00:54:12
there that's another story a00:54:15
diabolical trick the traps and avoid them all00:54:18
you will never see him touch a00:54:20
poisoned corpse or take00:54:22
the same path twice00:54:24
no need to follow his trail00:54:26
the smell he has blurred his trail better00:54:28
than the American Indian and the00:54:30
best lines lose their sense of smell00:54:32
and yet you have finally found him00:54:34
animal sir or use his head00:54:38
I have highlighted the places were committed00:54:42
the last crimes00:54:44
the beast had to come from its lair to00:54:46
go down to commit its crimes00:54:48
we can only locate ourselves in the center00:54:51
of the beam in a region difficult00:54:54
to access somewhere between Mont00:54:56
Chauvet and Mont Grand00:54:59
so I stationed myself up there and I00:55:02
waited for 15 days nothing00:55:06
bad probably smelled but yesterday she00:55:10
came back she passed so close00:55:12
that she could be pulled00:55:15
the path is marked with her blood00:55:20
[Applause]00:55:23
on the fog and the night we00:55:26
would have completed it00:55:27
now the stakes and my dogs have00:55:30
the rise and the push is poured of00:55:33
rock barrier that you see here00:55:36
that is where we have appointment to00:55:38
me00:55:39
[Applause]00:55:41
the sun is already high00:55:44
and touts are surely on their way00:55:46
[Music]00:55:52
[Applause]00:55:57
[Applause]00:55:58
[Music]00:56:08
[Applause]00:56:09
she spent part of the night here00:56:11
and just to leave00:56:15
with all the time she wasted she00:56:17
can't be okay quickly00:56:18
[Applause]00:56:32
we are close to the goal00:56:35
[Applause]00:56:38
[Music]00:56:50
[Applause]00:57:14
[Applause]00:57:39
but you were talking00:57:44
quite a bit00:58:01
[Music]00:58:06
had to show us once again00:58:14
[Music]00:58:18
well there00:58:19
she escaped that way00:58:24
find another explanation and at00:58:27
least 30 feet first to the other to us00:58:30
cannot do in Paris well an00:58:32
ordinary wolf perhaps00:58:33
and this one00:58:36
has as much intelligence as strength00:58:38
it seems that you are talking about it with00:58:40
admiration why not you have to00:58:43
bow sometimes00:58:45
he was right this little wallet00:58:48
you remember00:58:50
it's not a wolf it's not any00:58:53
animal that I know00:58:58
it's the beast00:59:12
a place for Monsieur Lafont would you like to00:59:15
drink wine or lamb I would00:59:17
especially like to talk to you ah that's it00:59:19
tell us stories but they00:59:20
should be funny we00:59:21
want to laugh00:59:29
so what is it you have already00:59:31
met00:59:32
his son has been the first victim of the00:59:34
beast the first which will be the last00:59:37
it's misfortune something that00:59:40
starts badly he doesn't want to finish00:59:42
château neuf managed to get bookys talking00:59:48
it's fabulous but nothing could get from00:59:51
him me he probably had afraid of me00:59:53
sir but of the evil beast00:59:58
he was perhaps afraid that she would listen01:00:00
behind the door you must not01:00:02
joke sir who can know01:00:04
what the beast in time does she01:00:05
understand01:00:07
booking thinks that the beast is has taken01:00:09
a liking to him since a certain01:00:12
night when they were beaten together oh well01:00:14
you each died for his life no but01:00:16
like two children for pleasure well01:00:19
that's what he believes01:00:21
the beast often comes back to visit him01:00:23
and it seems that he struggles until he01:00:25
falls from fatigue so she takes the01:00:28
break next to him and leaves without01:00:30
hurting him anymore01:00:31
I tell you like he told me01:00:35
why not01:00:37
strange lou is not -it's not about cast iron01:00:42
a truth which it seems to me Mr.01:00:44
Denval01:00:45
it's almost three weeks since you01:00:47
abandoned hunting and I01:00:48
shared your discouragement but let's not01:00:50
provide you with proof that you01:00:52
were not mistaken the beast is doing well01:00:55
through this gap between the Chauvet world01:00:56
and the Mont Grand to reach her father and01:00:58
she continues to pass there you who01:00:59
see her again isn't it a new kitten but it01:01:01
is certain that she has visited him since your last hunt so01:01:03
Mr. Sir, I am taking your leave,01:01:05
go back up there and take up the lookouts again, you01:01:09
have taken too much trouble not to01:01:10
deserve to triumph,01:01:20
why tomorrow we will learn that01:01:22
Mr. Denval is no longer responsible for getting01:01:24
rid of the evil thing, tomorrow01:01:27
you will learn that I am not nothing more01:01:30
because I am in disgrace it is not01:01:33
possible do me the last honor01:01:34
of believing it so we decided the king01:01:39
told you successful01:01:43
pretentious of this country who have not01:01:46
forgiven me for wanting to be alone brought01:01:49
this desperate adventure follow me like01:01:52
my shadow take advantage of the first01:01:54
opportunity to steal the victory and the01:01:57
reward at the same time here is Mr.01:01:59

game straight away before we try01:02:54
your beast of Gévaudan at court01:02:57

August 7 1765 Antoine de Bouter,01:03:44
lieutenant general of His Majesty's hunts01:03:45
arrived on site,01:03:48
he brought with him the best01:03:50
gamekeepers from the captaincies of01:03:52
Saint-Germain and Versailles and01:03:54
the elite of royal riots transported01:03:56
in wicker cages padded01:03:58
the pursuits and the beats01:04:00
began again01:04:03
on August 16 their search took them to01:04:06
the Bessière Sainte-Marie side01:04:08

every day01:04:28
so you have beautiful01:04:29
new friends you risk nothing01:04:33
[Applause]01:04:42
[Applause]01:04:49
[Applause]01:04:57
[ Applause]01:05:11
come on we01:05:15
'll get out of this01:05:19
you won't hide in you'll find01:05:22
if you want to see us again01:05:24
come to the swimming pool01:05:27
you'll ask for the chasters01:05:40
they voluntarily sent to the death01:05:42
three quarters of His Majesty's hunt01:05:47
your quests for the country you know better than01:05:48
me the dangers represented by these01:05:50
swamps01:05:52
no, sir, the priest, I can do nothing01:05:54
for your chasters, I regret he01:05:56
remains in prison, at least as01:05:58
long as I remain on horseback,01:06:01
I am sorry that your mercy01:06:03
is pushing you to take so many paths for01:06:05
so many bad subject oh sir do01:06:07
not judge the people here too harshly from the01:06:10
accumulated suffering and horror01:06:24
I believe that they have also lost01:06:25
confidence01:06:27
understand them there was Mr. Duhamel01:06:30
Mr. Dolval you now reassure01:06:34
Mr. priest whatever the merits01:06:35
from those who preceded me it is appropriate to01:06:38
make the difference01:06:41
in my person it is the king who comes to01:06:43
your aid so that01:06:45
your house your chastels are attacked perhaps without01:06:49
suspecting it we are insulted king,01:06:53
that is your opinion, Mr. South01:06:55
delegate01:06:56
[Applause]01:06:58
I would not want the reactions of the01:07:01
people here,01:07:02
it is unfair, or it could01:07:04
hamper your action but I do01:07:06
not particularly want the01:07:07
news of the control of the01:07:08
Chastels is01:07:11
already known and commented on even in the01:07:14
most remote homes01:07:17
are they lacely estimated01:07:21
to observe this refuge01:07:24
and for some there is an01:07:27
obscure relationship between the beast and Antoine Chastel01:07:31
the01:07:33
devil son and which01:07:35
how to explain that also that you are01:07:39
and there still exist in our mountains01:07:43
intelligent legends which have a hard life01:07:46
not to the extent of saying that everyone01:07:48
believes in werewolves01:07:51
but as for the wolf leaders01:07:54
this thing01:07:56
you want to talk about these men who01:07:57
according to the their fable is the power to01:08:00
command wild beasts to01:08:02
designate victims for them just as to01:08:05
teach them who it is appropriate to spare01:08:09
these are accounts to sleep standing up01:08:12
we were wide awake when the old people01:08:14
told them to us and then01:08:16
straighten up the dogs01:08:18
see -you sir by stopping the01:08:21
Chastels you have a voluntarily01:08:24
confirmed in their idea which shares01:08:27
such suspicions and the others the01:08:29
others think that men like01:08:31
Chastel and his son know every01:08:33
square inch of this earth better than01:08:35
anyone and that it would be enough to arm them01:08:37
to overcome the stupid army01:08:39
of the peasants but you would not be there I01:08:42
know too well that there would be no01:08:43
question of it and today for me01:08:45
this country is never more very safe01:08:49
it is also why it must be handled01:08:51
carefully, Mr. Sub Delegate, the01:08:53
whole of France has ceased to be sure but01:08:55
as for Gévaudan I am01:08:57
not too worried, the means at my disposal01:08:59
will allow me to rid you of this01:09:02
bloodthirsty wolf before your peasants01:09:04
do not react01:09:06
the sky you hear01:09:09
and what my father do you think that it is01:09:10
a big deal for us than the01:09:11
most futile dejection of Gévaudan01:09:13
yes but is it really a wolf and01:09:18
what else if not Mr. Lafont01:09:23
I always tried to keep a cool head01:09:27
but I was there when the beast01:09:29
escaped us, taking a good 30 feet,01:09:32
it was injured, it had lost01:09:34
a lot of blood and yet less than01:09:35
two hours later01:09:37
it slit the throat of a woman at 10 place of the01:09:41
do not take offense Mr. sub01:09:43
delegate but I fear that you have01:09:44
attributed too many01:09:46
times to the exaggerations of my unfortunate01:09:49
predecessor the look that he was tracking had to01:09:51
slip away quite differently than you01:09:52
think and if the animal carnivore you are01:09:55
elsewhere it is that Mr. Denval was01:09:58
on a false trail that is all01:10:01
or that there are several beasts of01:10:02
Gévaudan but what are you looking for there01:10:07
is in these forests a wolf which has a01:10:09
fridge with human flesh and which draw01:10:12
from this food a force unknown01:10:15
to its congeners this is01:10:17
the whole explanation of this great mystery01:10:22
and without running the imagination01:10:25
they are no longer very far01:10:30
on September 15 after 4 weeks of01:10:33
unsuccessful hunting Antoine de01:10:35
Botterne wrote to his wife what01:10:37
remained of his beautiful confidence you01:10:40
know my dear wife that I am01:10:42
here by the confidence that my showed01:10:44
His Majesty and Monsieur de01:10:46
Saint-Florentin this01:10:47
monorrent confidence made me imperious to01:10:50
see I am very close to thinking that I01:10:52
betrayed him not seeing why after01:10:55
so much is a deceased01:11:00
the times to come01:11:03
could be more01:11:06
favorable than the days gone by01:11:15
[Applause]01:11:23
we found the child just in front of the01:11:25
main door01:11:26
well we have to take the trail look at it01:11:28
night sir01:11:40
it's as if you had murdered him I01:11:43
understand how you feel everything01:11:45
I can do for you I will will01:11:46
you be01:11:47
as unhappy as since you01:11:49
were here so01:11:53
I don't blame you I I'm too01:11:55
sorry for you and the others I do01:11:58
n't deserve to blame you you know01:11:59
very well that I'm doing the impossible01:12:03
it's too cold01:12:05
my poor little one come see her come01:12:08
see what we did she was so01:12:10
beautiful you know01:12:14
why the drivers why01:12:20
go home we will01:12:22
take you back01:12:24
I will come see you01:12:26
ask for everything you need01:12:28
I be good01:12:31
then tell me to give me back my daughter01:12:33
I don't want the deer to have that I will01:12:35
go crazy again I don't I don't want01:12:37
her body filled with poison,01:12:45
you can take her home and01:12:48
what's the point, it's cruelty which becomes01:12:49
gratuitous01:12:53
and Letters to transport your daughter01:13:12
I know very well that this man must suffer01:13:13
more than me and yet01:13:20
the beast came to devour her daughter01:13:22
right under my windows01:13:24
as if to defy me01:13:28
we will say everything has turned around when we01:13:30
are at this new blow01:13:33
for so many days we have been running01:13:35
after her without seeing more than her shadow01:13:39
and she comes here to taunt me01:13:46
it's not possible01:13:49
we have to put an end to it by any01:13:51
means01:13:55
we don't make fun of the king's hunters like that01:14:06

on September 22, 1765, the01:15:09
new tent, expected the day before, broke out01:15:10
during a lightning expedition in01:15:13
the woods of the royal hunting abbey.01:15:14
Antoine de Botterne had killed the beast of01:15:18
Gévaudan.01:15:29
Sir, I am happy to01:15:31
see you again. His Majesty is with an01:15:33
inexpressible joy and I myself don't know01:15:36
how to tell you all my satisfaction, I01:15:37
must kiss you01:15:39
with thanks, sir, it's too much kindness,01:15:41
I put so much effort into fulfilling the01:15:43
mission that you gave me had confided we01:15:45
were kept informed of all the01:15:46
difficulties that you had to overcome01:15:48
and of the pain that it gave you expecting01:15:51
from us reached us only01:15:53
praise for your courage and your01:15:56
tenacity we were not surprised but01:15:58
we had pleasure in reading01:16:01
the king has charged me with taking you to him01:16:02
as soon as you arrive I will tell you nothing of01:16:05
the welcome that the curve prepares01:16:08
I know that you reserve the story01:16:10
of your exploit for him but for pity's sake do01:16:12
not make my suffer too much curiosity01:16:14
then this beast of Gévaudan which01:16:19
was it what His Majesty and yourself01:16:21
always thought a wolf quite01:16:23
simply but of what size you01:16:26
will judge I had the beast stripped and01:16:29
mounted the skin on a wooden form of the01:16:31
proportions accurate you will thus have01:16:33
the very faithful image the look except01:16:36
which had an almost unbearable shine01:16:38
but you will be able to observe the jaw01:16:41
you will count 40 teeth whereas01:16:44
the wolves are accustomed to having 2601:16:46
this is a terrible trophy it will not01:16:48
lack make many01:16:50
people of the fair sex faint01:16:52
what color is the coat of this crazy01:16:54
Mons very deep brown01:16:58
I hope the Court will forgive you01:17:00
would she have a horror of the furs of01:17:02
this time you are not she has just01:17:04
launched the fashion of the fabrics of a certain01:17:06
redhead that the baptized color of the sea01:17:08
I will present to him but the excuse01:17:11
it is in part the king is too01:17:15
impatient for us to allow01:17:16
him to languish01:17:20
you know that the confessor of His01:17:22
Majesty has was particularly sensitive01:17:24
to the fact that this happy shotgun shot01:17:26
is for frame the woods of the royal abbey01:17:30
but he surprised me by claiming that01:17:32
the things were not in01:17:35
Gévaudan but he is right sir01:17:37
forgive me but the convent of things01:17:39
is located in Auvergne01:17:45
you can remove the trunk you will have01:17:47
good weather for the trip so much the better01:17:49
the road would seem shorter to me in short01:17:52
months as soon as the car is ready01:17:55
Mr. Consul01:17:58
how kind of you to have come say01:17:59
goodbye01:18:02
I am01:18:03
here and tired as ever during01:18:06
these terrible 18 months that we have just01:18:07
spent we came to ask you01:18:09
to stay a few more days it01:18:13
would be very happy but hey advertising01:18:15
you cannot imagine how many files01:18:18
have been accumulated on my desk no01:18:22
we were so short and there also I only01:18:25
took care of this beast you say01:18:26
now that we are free of it I01:18:29
will find more mundane tasks01:18:30
thank goodness01:18:34
and if the beast had not died01:18:36
Sir the Consul not coming there we01:18:40
wait and run after this beast we01:18:41
have created such a singular image of it it01:18:44
is difficult to submit to the idea01:18:46
that it was only a wolf if we01:18:48
notice be it the wolf you are afraid01:18:51
of Antoine01:18:52
the carnivorous animal of almost 15001:18:54
pounds that you need moreover its01:18:56
weight explains neither its speed and its01:18:58
agility on the contrary01:19:00
the apothecary surgeons we spoke01:19:02
in their report of a very particular arrangement of the01:19:04
skeleton but01:19:06
we read this report like you,01:19:07
Mr. Delegate,01:19:09
and when he found in the stomach of the01:19:11
wolf of Monsieur d'Antoine the01:19:12
surgeons nothing but sheep Buddhas,01:19:15
that's the total difference. standing up01:19:18
that for human flesh it is therefore01:19:19
difficult to get rid of what01:19:22
terror has made us imagine for a long time01:19:24
we should have01:19:26
taken the corpse throughout the country we01:19:30
could thus have touched the end01:19:31
of our misfortunes01:19:36
he was impatient to satisfy the01:19:38
king's curiosity but at least it would have been01:19:40
necessary for01:19:41
this beast to be found here and not in the Vauvert devil01:19:43
and precisely in the gardens of a01:19:45
royal abbey in Auvergne on the other01:19:49
side of the Allier we had never01:19:50
heard that the beast crosses the01:19:52
line we had never heard01:19:53
that it is so far away01:19:55
and then what could have given01:19:56
Antoine the idea to go hunting on01:19:58
the lands of the fields01:20:03
and we hastened to prune the01:20:05
paths, we were told this would be enough to scare01:20:08
away the wolves from around us01:20:10
and the beast was still there,01:20:14
it doesn't seem incredible to you,01:20:18
Mr. I I have no reason to01:20:21
doubt the word of Mr. Standingin01:20:22
but we will01:20:25
not get rid of the idea that this is01:20:27
a set-up for the honor01:20:29
of the king,01:20:32
the beginning of proof, but listen to me,01:20:35
Mr. the news on the evening of the 18th of a01:20:38
mysterious package arrived at the injured man's castle01:20:39
where I got from Antoine the01:20:41
new dog it seems as if there01:20:43
weren't enough of the best the01:20:45
next day the packages left for the01:20:47
hunts this the gentleman who was walking is01:20:49
diminishing in the stuffed baskets01:20:50
does not hesitate to suddenly kill the01:20:52
newcomers by admitting that they are01:20:54
dogs01:20:56
two days later Monsieur d'Antoine leaves01:20:59
in his turn and 24 hours later the beast01:21:01
falls under his blows01:21:06
favorable to the beast let's admit but the01:21:10
same evening Monsieur d'Antoine was01:21:11
back at the castle where01:21:13
some witnesses were already gathered who recognized the01:21:14
beast of Gévaudan without a public holiday and01:21:16
signed everything we wanted but01:21:18
dubious about the chases there was good place01:21:21
and the worst path01:21:23
Monsieur d'Antoine's horse must have had01:21:25
wings but let's still admit but the01:21:28
next day the 22nd the wolf you are in the tanks01:21:31
was presented to the intendant of01:21:32
Clermont-Ferrand and that, Mr. sub01:21:34
delegate, you know it as well as01:21:35
us we cannot go to01:21:38
work in Clermont-Ferrand in one day it is not01:21:39
possible we perhaps do not have01:21:41
proof but we have common sense we01:21:45
the truth01:21:46
is that in the packages arrived on the 18th01:21:50
there were not dogs01:21:53
but large three captive wolves,01:21:55
one of which was pushed like a deer01:21:57
in front of the trembling of the lieutenant of the01:21:59
hunts of His Majesty while the01:22:00
second waited at the castle to be01:22:01
recognized by some jostled children01:22:03
and scare and that the third was01:22:05
already on the way to Versailles01:22:07
via Clermont-Ferrand I know I know I01:22:10
know that you will not depend on it01:22:12
Gévaudan can no longer live without his01:22:15
beast01:22:16
and if I told you that I received a01:22:18
letter from Mr. Denval and that01:22:20
many think the same, Mr.01:22:34
Fart has no longer caused a victim and01:22:37
so it has already happened to stay01:22:39
quiet for a few days at01:22:40
something yes but there it was 201:22:42
weeks your car is ready01:22:43
Mr. C 'is perfect thank you01:22:48
goodbye sir and goodbye01:22:51
sir delegate since it cannot01:22:53
be otherwise01:22:59
against all probability that the beast01:23:05
in what way can I be useful to you but01:23:07
you would be there to say in high places01:23:09
I saw from my our own eyes that the01:23:10
evil beast is not dead we can01:23:13
always swear on what is01:23:14
most sacred to us who to believe it01:23:21
thank you01:23:28
no I believe01:23:30
I believe very sincerely01:23:33
that you are wrong01:23:46
as we would like01:23:51

it would have been enough for me to get a good kick from the cow01:25:07
killing her that evening01:25:11
it would have been the last to slaughter our01:25:13
poor David01:25:34
enough for the beast to throat them and01:25:36
disappear01:25:41
and who else01:25:44
it's not just anything,01:25:48
anything would be better than the01:25:50
beast01:25:52
and there I01:25:55
am can no longer doubt it now it's01:25:57
really her01:25:59
there was another victim the next day01:26:01
a little heavy Agnès from the village of01:26:04
their Sierre01:26:14
he managed to take it back01:26:17
she will have the next opportunity01:26:27
yes just the time it took to01:26:30
wear us out hope01:26:32
it will catch up now01:26:40
you think of this handsome hunter of the king01:26:44
9400 pounds for having killed a wolf good01:26:47
deal01:26:52
the beast in Paris elsewhere finally you01:27:00
have to put that in your head01:27:01
that's how they decided our01:27:03
princes01:27:05
we can bleed die scream no01:27:09
one will talk about us anymore01:27:13
she is dead01:27:16
she is dead01:27:20
when the king is he will make01:27:22
the cats start again01:27:33
accomplice accomplice or bread he can01:27:36
only keep silent01:27:38
the truth is perhaps not such as01:27:40
you imagine01:27:42
Monsieur Laffont thinking that there were01:27:44

Retrouvez l'intégralité de la série d'anthologie sur madelen 👉 https://madelen.ina.fr/collection/tribunal-de-limpossible-95 Le Tribunal de l'impossible 👸🏻 | Épisode 1 : La Bête du Gévaudan | 3 octobre 1967 | réalisation : Yves-André Hubert Un bijou du fantastique qui a bercé bien des (jeunes) spectateurs des Trente Glorieuses ! 📺 Proposée par Michel Subiela, Le Tribunal de l’impossible est une série d’anthologie, chaque épisode revenant sur un fait divers réel au doux parfum fantastique, ayant défrayé la chronique de son époque : Nicolas Flamel, Nostradamus, la Cité d’Ys, disparitions, rêves, spiritisme, vaisseau fantôme… Ces histoires vraies, sans romanesque ni complaisance, cherchent à atteindre la réalité de l’expérience humaine dissimulée derrière le folklore. Michel Subiela, le créateur de la série, s’explique : "Mon propos n'est pas de faire peur. Ce qui m'intéresse dans ces histoires fantastiques, qui sont basées sur des faits réels et des témoignages, c'est d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi les gens vivent des aventures hors du commun". Ce premier épisode est consacré à la bête du Gévaudan, qui terrorisa le Languedoc pendant trois années et tua une centaine de personnes. Des dizaines d’attaques mortelles sont répertoriées entre 1764 et 1767 dans la région, principalement des femmes et des enfants. Les paysans affirment qu’il s’agit de l’œuvre d’une bête terrible, gigantesque et audacieuse. Pour contenir la panique, le pouvoir royal envoie des Dragons pour tenter de tuer cette créature mystérieuse. Un récit illustrant le combat de l’Homme face à la Bête.
