Quotes 

• Gabriel Knight : I, uh, I'm really very sorry about your daughter, Herr Huber.

  Gerde : I have told them that you are the new Schattenjäger.

  Werner Huber : You, you were the talisman. Now are you the Schattenjäger now, or are you not?

  Gabriel Knight : I am.

  Werner Huber : We do not know you, Herr Knight. But we have known the Schattenjägers for many centuries. It is to them, that we turn to in trouble like this. Sepp here, is family. Will you come? Just look around? See what you can see? Sepp and his wife go north, to be with her mother. You can stay on his farm.

  Gabriel Knight : All right. I'll look into it for you. See what I can see.

  Gerde : I'll pack your things.

  Gabriel Knight : [looks to Gerde]  Great. Thanks.

  [Gabriel looks to Werner Huber] 

  Gabriel Knight : I'll meet you in the village in an hour.

  Werner Huber : Oh, thank you, Herr Knight!

  [Werner Huber bows in gratitude] 

  Werner Huber : Thank you!

• [Introduction: Schloss Ritter, Rittersberg, Germany. Gabriel Knight has inherited Schloss Ritter, and now is in his study, typing] 

  Gabriel Knight : Out falls... Hrrummpph!

  [Gabriel pats on his forehead in frustration. He hears a knock on the door] 

  Gabriel Knight : Come in.

  Gerde : [enters, her voice trembling]  Herr Knight... there are some people here to see you.

  Gabriel Knight : Me?

  Gerde : Ya. If you please come?

  Gabriel Knight : What's goin' on? You've been acting strange all day.

  Gerde : Please, just come. And don't forget your talisman. You must wear it always.

  Gabriel Knight : [picks up the family talisman lying on the desk next to him and wears it around his neck]  Damn thing's heavy.

  [Gabriel leaves the study. He and Gerde answer the door, to a group of townsfolk holding flashlights] 

  Gabriel Knight : [smiles]  Well, hello there! Shouldn't those be torches?

  Werner Huber : Ah, Herr Knight. I am Werner Huber. Forgive our coming here so late, but we must speak with you.

  Gabriel Knight : What can I do for you?

  Werner Huber : [gestures to the man on his left]  Oh, This is my cousin, Sir Huber Sepp. He has a farm, just outside of Munich. I will tell you the truth, Herr Knight, we have come for the Schattenjäger.

  Gabriel Knight : I see. What makes you think you need a Schattenjäger?

  Werner Huber : It is because of Sepp here. Two nights ago, his wife goes to the window of the house, to call in their daughter, Toni. It is getting dark, and the light outside is not so good, ya? She sees Toni, some meters away, playing in the grass. And she sees a wolf. It is huge, and it is moving towards the child. Uta, screams to the child a warning, and that is when the beast strikes!

  Sepp Huber : Toni!

  Werner Huber : [looks to Sepp to comfort him]  Ah, there, there now, son. They say she died quickly. Sepp here, he hears his wife screaming, comes running from the barn! He sees the wolf, goes inside the house to get a gun, but when he comes out, no wolf! And, it has taken... part of the child with it.

  Gabriel Knight : That's horrible.

  Werner Huber : Ya, ya, it is very bad, Herr Knight. That is why we come to you.

  Gabriel Knight : Haven't the police been notified?

  Werner Huber : Ya, the police they think it is some wolves escaped from a zoo. They search, and search, but they find nothing. This is not the first touch killing. But if it is not stopped, it won't be the last!

  Gabriel Knight : Ah... I'm not really sure what you want me to do.

  Werner Huber : The killer is not wolf! It is werewolf! You must hunt it down, and kill it!

  Gabriel Knight : Werewolf? What makes you think it's a werewolf?

  Sepp Huber : The wolf looked at me! It's eyes were... human! It *knew* what it was doing, it... KNEW!
