00:23E.G. Marshall
00:25Welcome to the world of terrifying imagination
00:29To the fear you can hear
00:32Tonight I hope you have strong stomachs
00:35For we're bound on a Caribbean cruise
00:37Oh, we don't expect rough sailing on the way
00:41So if you are easily seasick
00:43Have no fears
00:46Save them all for your landing on the twin island of Mausha and Sandorind
00:51For it is the home of voodoo
00:54And the living dead
00:56The soulless legions of men who are called
01:01Zombies
01:05That's it, compadres
01:08That's the coffin we seek
01:11Scrap away the earth so we can get the lid open
01:17Soon we can steal another corpse for the witch doctor
01:23That's it
01:25Now break open the lid
01:31Swing it back
01:33Muy bueno
01:34Shine the light
01:37Oh, must have been strong as an ox
01:41He'll make a fine zombie brother
01:44For el generalissimo's elite guard
01:47Está bien
01:48Señor Ongan
01:50Here is another carcass
01:53For your living dead
01:55Our mystery drama
02:05The Walking Corpse
02:07Was written especially for the Mystery Theater
02:10By Ian Martin
02:11And stars Tony Roberts
02:13It is sponsored in part by Anheuser-Busch Incorporated
02:16Brewers of Budweiser
02:18And by the Kellogg Company
02:20Makers of Kellogg's Special K cereal
02:22I'll be back shortly
02:24With Act One
02:34The body of a dead person
02:37Given the semblance of life
02:39Usually for some evil purpose
02:43That is a zombie
02:46The very name itself
02:47Is calculated to make the flesh creep
02:50And the blood run chill
02:53But on a plane headed for Miami
02:55Taking them to their honeymoon
02:56Nothing could be further
02:58From the thoughts of Steve Ramsey
03:00And his new wife, Pat
03:03Oh, I can't believe I have you to myself
03:06For these few hours, Steve
03:08Let alone a glorious two weeks
03:09I don't know what other associate professors go through
03:12But my first two and a half years teaching parapsychology
03:15Have laid me out
03:16I can't wait for those hot sands and warm water
03:20Can I serve you a drink, sir?
03:22Oh, now that's what I call perfect timing
03:24Why not?
03:25One more and I can fly solo to Miami without the plane
03:29Well, then I'll join you
03:30I can't have you orbiting alone
03:31May I get by, please, daughter?
03:34I'm sorry, sir
03:35Just let me move the cart
03:36Oh, thank you
03:38Chris
03:39It is Christopher
03:41Shh
03:42It's all right, Stewardess
03:43I'll join my friend here for a moment
03:45Hey, Steve, man
03:46Good to see you
03:47Here, here, here
03:48I'll move over
03:48Sit down
03:50Chris, you look something else
03:51It's great to run into you
03:53Only just for a moment there
03:54I thought you were thinking of giving me the bride
03:56You?
03:57Never
03:57I'll explain in a minute
03:59Oh, Pat
04:00This is Christopher LeClaire
04:01I want to
04:02I want you to meet my brand new bride
04:04Oh, this is a pleasure, Mrs. Ramsey
04:07Let me congratulate you on your impeccable taste, Steve
04:10And both of you on your marriage
04:13I'd like to buy some champagne, but you already have your taste
04:17No, no more champagne, thank you
04:18We've had enough in the last few weeks to float a battleship
04:21At least let me get a drink for myself to talk to the bride and groom
04:27He's your old football buddy, right?
04:29Yeah
04:29Greatest running back I ever saw
04:31All-around athlete
04:32He could have made it big in the pros
04:33Any sport
04:34Isn't he a prince or something?
04:37And his father is the king of Mausia
04:39I wonder what's bugging him
04:41Ah, this is better
04:42A toast from my country
04:45To be a good man
04:46Is first to have a good wife
04:49Abusantes
04:50Thank you, Chris
04:51And to yours
04:52Yours, too
04:52Oh, yes
04:54Drink to my good health, please
04:57What is it, Chris?
04:58You want to talk about it?
04:59I wish I still had you calling the place for me, but this is a different ballgame
05:05You know about my father?
05:07No
05:07What?
05:09He's dead
05:10Oh
05:10Oh, no
05:13What can I say?
05:15Hang in there, man
05:16Oh, I will be tough, all right
05:19Was it, uh, was it recent?
05:21The day before yesterday
05:22I didn't see anything about it in the papers
05:25It wasn't in the papers
05:26He didn't die
05:29He was assassinated
05:31Oh, no
05:33Any idea who did it?
05:35There is no proof
05:36But I know
05:38Who?
05:39Oh, maybe not by his own hand
05:42But at least on his orders
05:45Hernando Trujedo
05:46The Generalissimo?
05:48But I thought he was your father's best friend
05:50And my godfather
05:52His gift to me on my 21st birthday
05:55His own good luck charm
05:57The bracelet of the sacred serpent
06:00The head
06:01The voodoo symbol of life
06:03The tail
06:05The symbol of death
06:06You see?
06:08They are woven together
06:09But
06:10But then why should he?
06:12Because, Mrs. Ramsey
06:13My father gave our people freedom
06:16A freedom the Sandorindian cannot share
06:20Why not?
06:21Because if they had it
06:23They would tear the man who rules them by terror to pieces
06:27So he's planning to move in on Moesha and an exit
06:31The moment my father's assassination is revealed
06:34A coup d'etat
06:35While the people are in confusion
06:37With no leadership
06:39That's why I've given up any dream of becoming a doctor
06:42And then going home
06:45A private plane will meet me in Miami
06:47To fly me to Moesha
06:48To save time
06:49I took this commercial flight
06:51Under an assumed name
06:53You think Trujillo might be
06:54I was warned
06:55Just in time
06:56Less than an hour
06:58After I left my apartment
06:59A bomb got it
07:01I'm a dangerous man
07:03To know these days
07:05So
07:06Before I do cause any
07:07Oh my god
07:09Steve, what is it?
07:11Two hoods with machine guns
07:12Looks like a sky
07:13Señoras and señores
07:15Ladies and gentlemen
07:17Oh my god
07:18May I have your attention, please?
07:20That's Juan Garcia
07:21Trujillo's hatchet man
07:23What can we do?
07:24Nothing
07:25It's me
07:26Everyone
07:26Quiet
07:27If you do as I say
07:29No one will be hurt
07:32We are commandeering this plane
07:36Quiet
07:36Quiet
07:38There is nothing for any of you to fear
07:41The plane will land at Miami
07:43And all passengers will be discharged
07:46Except for the flight crew
07:49And four hostages
07:50I repeat
07:52There is no cause for alarm
07:55If all of you keep your seats and your head
07:58Go still, everybody
08:08Just follow orders
08:11Anyone who doesn't
08:12Will be shot
08:14Okay
08:16All right
08:17You three
08:18Up
08:19One into first class
08:20Look, Garcia
08:20No names
08:21And no wrong moves
08:23My orders are to bring you
08:26Dead or alive
08:27I was only going to ask that my friends
08:29Your friends can identify you
08:31We don't want that for a few days
08:34They will only be killed as hostage
08:36Till we are ready
08:38If they do as they are told
08:40They will be released unharmed
08:42Now move
08:44Join the other hostage
08:45As you were sitting with
08:46In first class
08:47Steve
08:48I am so sorry
08:49It's not your fault
08:50You okay, Patricia?
08:53Ready
08:53Unwilling
08:54But able
08:55That's my gal
08:56Let's go
08:57Just walk ahead of me
08:58Nice and steady
09:00Muy bien, mis amigos
09:03Zanka
09:03Robin
09:05Nobody moves
09:06Till I come back
09:08Okay
09:10Inside
09:12That's it
09:12Cross it by him
09:14Kato
09:15Don't let them move
09:16Till I come back
09:17I'm sorry
09:18I got you into this
09:19We'll make out
09:19Are you okay, honey?
09:21A few butterflies in the stomach
09:23What does he want?
09:25To move in
09:26And sit down, I think
09:27Better keep him happy
09:28He's a surly character at best
09:31Why don't we sit in these four together?
09:33Our friend's a little deaf
09:34If we keep far enough away
09:36We can talk safely
09:37If we keep our voices down
09:38Why are you being held hostage?
09:40Any number of reasons
09:41I'm U.S. government
09:43I know who you are
09:44They took a dim view of me
09:45For carrying a gun
09:46And they have a pretty good idea
09:47Who I am, too
09:48Well, who are you?
09:50Hawkins will do
09:51Bill Hawkins
09:52What branch of the government?
09:53Well, I think I won't reveal that
09:55I was assigned to see
09:56That you cleared the country safely
09:58Your highness
09:59Someone slipped me
10:00A knockout drop in the coffee
10:01That's when I lost consciousness
10:04And my gun
10:05You were asleep when I came back
10:07Oh, this is Mr. and Mrs. Steve Ramsey
10:10Me too, Steve, ma'am
10:11Yeah, hi, Hawkins
10:12How do you do, Mr. Hawkins?
10:14Any idea what their plans are?
10:15Refuel
10:16Clear the rest of the passengers out
10:17Then
10:18Then
10:19We head straight for San Dorinda
10:21That's the notion
10:23So
10:24The moment they get our friend Christophe here
10:26To San Dorinda
10:27He's a gone goose
10:27He'll just drop out of sight
10:29Suddenly
10:30And for good
10:31Now, my guess is
10:32They'll set up one of these goons
10:33As a fall guy
10:34Have a big show trial
10:35And in the meanwhile
10:35Return the plane with us aboard
10:37Only
10:38Somewhere on the way
10:39We'll all disappear
10:41In a puff of plastic bomb smoke
10:43We're just as long gone
10:45As the king here
10:46What's the alternative?
10:47Distract ugly there
10:48Long enough for one of us
10:49To disarm him
10:50Garcia and his other boys
10:52Can only get at us
10:53Through the narrow passageway
10:54Between tourist class and here
10:55I can keep them pinned down
10:57Until you get out
10:58At the emergency exit
10:59He's a big guy
11:00But then let me
11:01Okay, no time to argue
11:02Now how do we distract him?
11:03That's my job
11:04Pat, please
11:05Stay out of this
11:06I'm in it just as much
11:07As all of you
11:08Watch this
11:09Hey, mister
11:10Come here a second
11:13Okay, then
11:14I'll come to you
11:16Take it easy
11:17I just want to ask something
11:20If you can't hear me
11:22I can't speak any louder
11:25Oh, please
11:25Come closer
11:27That's it
11:28I just want to ask
11:29Where the ladies
11:30Watch it
11:33He's strong as a bull
11:34I've started stroking my arm
11:36He's all right
11:36I have the gun
11:37Stay where you are
11:39Don't let him near you
11:40And shoot
11:41What are you waiting for?
11:43Oh, stop
11:44Don't stop him
11:45No
11:46Don't stay like that
11:48Don't move
11:49All right, Kilo
11:51Big up your gun
11:52Chris
11:53You shot him, Garcia
11:56You killed him
11:58Kito came dead or alive
12:00It makes no difference
12:01But that other man
12:02Chris shot him twice
12:04Point blank
12:05It should have killed him
12:06Kito
12:08Oh, no
12:10Don't you know
12:11You can kill a zombie
12:24They're coming into the landing now
12:26How's Chris?
12:28He's alive
12:29But just barely
12:30If he can just hang on
12:31Maybe when we land
12:32A doctor can help
12:33Too late
12:33Too late for me
12:35Don't give up, Chris
12:36Snake
12:38Snake
12:40What?
12:41The snake bracelet
12:43He wants you to
12:45Here
12:47There
12:49Steve has it
12:50Chris
12:51Good
12:52Listen
12:53You go
12:55Dans
12:57Solange
12:58She
13:00Hide you
13:01Save you
13:02Give her
13:04Bracelet
13:05But where do we find her?
13:09Où est votre tante?
13:11Quelle rue?
13:13Quelle place?
13:15Pense
13:17Avenue
13:18Avenida
13:19Avenida
13:20De las
13:22Muñecas
13:24Avenue of the dolls
13:27Yes
13:28What number?
13:30Obe
13:30Obe
13:32O grey serpent
13:34Take me home
13:36Take me home
13:40Don't
13:41Don't
13:42Don't
13:43Don't
13:44Don't
13:44Don't
13:44Don't
13:45This
13:47Sign
13:48Sign
13:49Of the
13:50Black
13:52Black
13:54Poe
13:55Poe
13:55We're about to land
13:57Pretty short runway
13:58Better fasten your seatbelts
14:00I'll get yours for you
14:08Not the most promising way to begin a honeymoon
14:12Particularly when it seems there is more than a little chance of ending it
14:17Even before it's begun
14:20Who knows what kind of reception is ahead for the newlyweds
14:25I'll be back shortly with Act Two
14:37Under other circumstances
14:39Pat and Steve would have no complaints about their accommodations on the island
14:45Drained and exhausted
14:46The silk sheeted bed
14:48In an expensive suite
14:50Is an alluring invitation to sleep
14:53Except
14:54Even if you are dead to the world
14:57Who wants to become part
14:59Of the world
15:00Of the dead
15:01Oh Steve
15:05Is it possible
15:08Could there really be such a thing as a
15:11A zombie
15:13No of course not
15:14That's just a superstition
15:16But you saw Chris fire two bullets right into his body
15:20Yes
15:21And he didn't even flinch
15:24Cogito ergo sum
15:26What
15:27I think
15:28Therefore I am
15:30Pat look
15:32Under any other circumstances
15:34I'd be fascinated
15:35I mean this is my field
15:38And you do believe
15:40That there are
15:43Walking dead
15:44Do you
15:45Do I believe that a man can be exhumed from the grave
15:49And life breathed back into his corpse
15:51No
15:52No I can't accept that
15:54That's beyond my credulity
15:56But I've seen things in parapsychological experiments
15:58And in psychic research
16:00That
16:00Honey
16:02The power of supernatural belief
16:04Is
16:05Beyond belief
16:06The right subject
16:08Particularly one of low mentality
16:10Under hypnosis
16:11Is capable of incredible feats
16:13Superhuman strength
16:15No sensation of pain
16:16No shock reaction
16:19Oh lord
16:20Now what
16:21The knock wasn't at the door we came in
16:23It's that one over there
16:25Wait a minute
16:27Stay where you are
16:27Pat
16:29Yes
16:30Who is it
16:30Bill Hawkins
16:31I'm in an adjoining room
16:33Is there a boat on your side
16:35Yeah
16:36Half a sec
16:40Hiya Bill
16:41Listen
16:42We've got to talk
16:43What's the sense in talking
16:45Hello Pat
16:47Hello Bill
16:48How's your arm
16:49Feels fine
16:50They did a real good job
16:51Of patching it up
16:52I just wondered
16:53Before we all turned in
16:55If you had a radio in here
16:56There's one right over there
16:58Good
16:58Mind if I turn it on
16:59And see if I can catch some news
17:02Uh oh
17:03Only one band
17:04Well let's see what it's got
17:07Hey I see
17:08They provided you with a meal too
17:10I never even noticed
17:12Pretty good grub
17:13You should try it
17:14I wouldn't touch it
17:15Nor I
17:16Look I don't see how well
17:17All right we can cut the comedy now
17:19This place has bugged
17:20The radio ought to block us out
17:21Now we've got to plan
17:22Some kind of escape
17:23How
17:24I may have that lined up
17:25It's where to hole out
17:27After we bust from here
17:28That's got me stumped
17:30I've got a possible answer to that
17:31What
17:31Saint Solange
17:33Who
17:34Chris' aunt
17:35She lives here
17:36Where
17:36The avenue of the dolls
17:38It's a long winding street
17:41Any idea where
17:42You know it
17:42I spent six months
17:44On secret service here
17:45Before we closed down
17:46Our embassy
17:46Did he give you a cross street
17:48Or a number
17:49He was pretty incoherent
17:50Before he died
17:51When I asked him
17:53He just sort of
17:55Rambled on about
17:56The great serpent
17:57And the
17:58The black bull
18:00Or something
18:01The serpent is the basic symbol
18:03Of the voodoo religion
18:04The black bull I never heard of
18:06In this liturgy
18:06Wait a minute
18:08The chicken in the oboe coat
18:10Is a sacrificial animal
18:11Considered to
18:13Maybe it was the black pull
18:15He was trying to say
18:17Black pullet
18:18Does that mean anything to you Bill?
18:20Yeah
18:20Yeah
18:21Wait a minute
18:22It's a sort of
18:24Souvenir shop
18:25You know
18:26A typical tourist trap
18:27With straw hands
18:28And dolls
18:28And hoodoo drums
18:29You mean
18:29Yeah well could you find it?
18:31Sure it's not far from here
18:32But how do we get out first?
18:34You've got slack son
18:35Good
18:35You've got a dark scarf
18:36To cover that blonde hair?
18:38Right here
18:38All right
18:39Come with me
18:40Walk soft
18:40Keep your voices low
18:43Turn up that radio a little
18:44Roger
18:52Good
18:54Come on
18:55Leave it open
18:56I'm over here to my window
18:57Now keep off to the sides
19:00Now look down
19:02There's one of those
19:04Those zombies down there
19:05But you see there's a balcony
19:06And steps that lead to the street
19:09Well
19:09With a
19:10Something subhuman
19:11Or maybe I should say superhuman
19:13Armed with a gun
19:14Right at the bottom of them
19:15If he's cold cocked
19:17It isn't going to do him any good
19:18Bill you have a lot of guts
19:20But you're no Muhammad Ali
19:21And the only strength I have
19:22Is in my brain
19:23Hold out your hands
19:25I'm going to give you the equalizers
19:28Steve
19:28With his fist
19:29Wrapped around a roll of nickels
19:31Of quarters
19:32A thirteen year old boy
19:33Could deck Joe Frazier
19:35Given the chance
19:35To blindside him
19:37Yeah but we haven't got
19:38Keep your hands out
19:38Now this is a salt cellar
19:41Same difference
19:41I'm spilling the salt
19:43Into your left hand
19:44Wrap the other
19:45Around this heavy crystal
19:46I'm doing the same
19:47With the pepper
19:47Now you pat
19:49I wouldn't know
19:50You're going to cover us
19:51By making a diversion
19:52Pick up that glass water pitcher there
19:55Too heavy for you to throw?
19:57No
19:57Throw where?
19:58We turn off the lights
19:59Turn off the radio
20:01Make like we're turning in
20:02Then we sneak out
20:04The French windows
20:05Onto the balcony
20:05You go off to the right
20:07Opposite end from the steps
20:08When that zombie
20:09Reacts to the crash
20:11Of that pitcher
20:11On the flagstones
20:12On your side
20:13Steve and I
20:14Go down the steps
20:15And take him out
20:17Then we go look
20:18For Tossolage
20:19Now?
20:20But he'd see you
20:21Of course
20:22So we wait until dark
20:24And that won't be long now
20:30Now
20:33You take him Steve
20:35He's still not out
20:37I'm throwing the pepper
20:37Throw the salt in his eyes
20:39There you are
20:41Watch it
20:43I think I
20:44I think I killed him
20:46Well don't stop to find out
20:47The light's going on
20:47Come on Pat
20:48We'll have to run for it
20:55Hold it
20:56We'll have to chance the light
20:58Which
20:58Which way?
20:59Ahead
21:00To the right
21:01Go to the next block
21:04The right on our heels
21:05Give me that flashlight
21:06And you get out of here
21:07Both of you
21:07What about you?
21:08Don't be a fool
21:09Somebody's got to be a decoy
21:10And you have a wife
21:11To think of
21:12Now hurry
21:12Come on Pat
21:14Run
21:16To the left
21:17Take one to the left
21:18Follow that light
21:29Yes
21:30Tante Solange
21:31Who won't serve?
21:34I am Christopher's friend
21:35With my wife
21:36We are running from Tujedo
21:38The Generalissimo
21:39Christopher told me to seek refuge here
21:42And to bring you this
21:44The great serpent
21:47A moment
21:48Enter my children
21:52Quickly
21:53Quickly
21:54So turn out your light also
21:57We must hide like cats in the dark
22:06So
22:07They have killed little Christoph
22:10First my brother
22:12Then his son
22:13Well
22:14He will be made to pay
22:16An eye for an eye
22:18A heart for a bleeding heart
22:22Now shall the tyrant bleed
22:24Now at last
22:26My curse shall enter
22:28His vitals
22:29Now will the great serpent
22:31And coil
22:32And strike
22:33Hernando Tujedo
22:35Dead
22:35Oh it wasn't the Generalissimo
22:37Who shot Chris
22:38It was a man named Garcia
22:40Garcia
22:41That jack of puppet
22:42Dangled by the strings
22:44That less than nothing
22:45With no mind
22:46Or will of his own
22:47Is he a zombie too?
22:49What do you know
22:51Of zombies my child?
22:52Nothing
22:53Except what I saw
22:54On the plane
22:54And what my husband
22:55Tried to tell me
22:56Oh you are a teacher
22:57In college
22:58Monsieur Ramsey
22:58No?
22:59Yes
22:59And much of my studies
23:01Are in the supernatural
23:02You believe in zombie?
23:04Well no
23:06And not altogether
23:07Very well
23:08We shall put our beliefs
23:10To the test
23:12It's a doll
23:13Like the ones you sell
23:14In the store here
23:15Not quite the same
23:18This one is like
23:19The souvenirs of
23:20El Generalissimo
23:22With this
23:23With this difference
23:24I have been a long time
23:26Making him
23:28You see the straw
23:30Is from his favorite
23:31Horses stall
23:32The beard is made
23:34From the combings
23:35Of his hairbrush
23:36The eyes
23:38J-chips
23:39From a dress
23:40Coat button
23:41The boots
23:42From the fingers
23:43Of an old glove
23:46This is a voodoo doll
23:49All of him
23:50Is made with things
23:51That once belonged
23:52To Troedo
23:54Only one last thing
23:56I needed
23:57To make the spell work
23:58The weapon
24:01Now at last
24:02I have in my hand
24:04The instrument
24:04Of destruction
24:05I straighten out
24:08The circle
24:09Turn the head
24:12To the sky
24:13And death
24:15The tail towards
24:17The ground
24:18And strike
24:21What have I done
24:23Mr. Ramsey?
24:25You
24:25You drove the bracelet
24:27Like a knife
24:28Straight through
24:29The doll's head
24:30From temple
24:31To temple
24:32Hernando Trojado
24:35Will be dead
24:36By midnight
24:37And we will
24:38All be free
24:42You still
24:43Do not believe
24:44Let us find
24:46How strong
24:46Your science
24:47Holds against
24:48My faith
24:50What's that?
24:52Trojado's men
24:53The doll
24:54They must not
24:54Find the doll
24:55Help me pin it
24:56Under my skirt
24:56My hands are shaking
24:57So much
24:58Bon
24:59Yes in time
25:00So
25:02Meet again
25:03Señor Ramsey
25:04How did you find us?
25:07Your friend Hawkins
25:08He gave us away?
25:10Señor Ramsey
25:11Every man
25:13Will give anything away
25:14With the right persuasion
25:17Señor Hawkins
25:18Took longer
25:19Than most
25:21He was very foolish
25:23What do you mean?
25:25Since in the end
25:26He told
25:28Why was it worth
25:29Dying for?
25:31Vamos
25:32We must not keep
25:33The cannibalism
25:33Wearing
25:41Please
25:42Let me assure you
25:43That you
25:44Have nothing
25:45To worry about
25:46I ask you all
25:48To relax
25:49Now
25:49The tower
25:50Is set for a
25:51Late supper
25:52I am sure
25:53You must all
25:54Be famished
25:55After a long
25:56And difficult
25:56Day
25:57Won't you be
25:58My guest?
26:00Prisoners
26:00You mean?
26:01Trojado
26:02Ah yes
26:03La bonne
26:04Princesse
26:05Solange
26:05I come
26:06Honored
26:07I have no idea
26:08You have come
26:09To live
26:09Among us
26:10I have been
26:11Here longer
26:12Than you know
26:12Ah yes
26:14I must speak
26:15To my secret
26:16Police
26:16About that
26:17Had I been told
26:19You were honoring
26:19Our country
26:20With a visit
26:20I would have
26:21Arranged a more
26:22Suitable welcome
26:23I am sure
26:24You would
26:25By disposing
26:26Of me
26:26As you did
26:27My brother
26:28And my nephew
26:29Christophe
26:30I suppose
26:32It would be
26:32Impossible
26:33For me
26:34To convince you
26:35That I had
26:36No hand
26:37In the death
26:37Of King François
26:38The sad truth
26:39Is that his
26:40Heart
26:41Failed him
26:42His death
26:43Was a natural
26:44One
26:44Lie upon lie
26:47But one truth
26:48You cannot twist
26:49The death
26:51Of my nephew
26:52Did you see him
26:53Die
26:53There are two
26:55Witnesses
26:55Before your
26:56Descudin
26:57Ah
26:59Excuse me
27:00A moment
27:02Garcia
27:02Are you ready
27:04Si
27:05Now
27:08We must wait
27:09For a moment
27:10For what
27:11You see
27:14Signora Ramsey
27:15Let me ask
27:17You a question
27:18What
27:19Did you see
27:20Christophe Leclerc
27:22Die
27:23Yes
27:24And you
27:24Signor
27:25Yes
27:25You are quite sure
27:27Of course
27:28Yes
27:28Look
27:28What are you
27:28Trying to prove
27:29Not I
27:31I will let him
27:33Show you that
27:33For himself
27:35You see
27:37Yes
27:38Monsieur
27:39Baby
27:40Steve
27:42He's alive
27:44It's Chris
27:46Chris
27:46Is it really you
27:50Sure man
27:52Sure
27:53Don't you know me
27:59There is no mistaking
28:01The tall
28:01Live figure
28:02The regal bearing
28:04The proud
28:05Handsome face
28:06All those belong
28:08To Christophe Leclerc
28:10He might easily
28:12Have remarked
28:12As Mark Plain
28:13Once telegraphed
28:14The reports
28:16Of my death
28:16Are an exaggeration
28:19We'll return shortly
28:20With act three
28:32At the shock
28:33Of the reincarnation
28:34Of a dead man
28:35Appearing from the grave
28:36It is not surprising
28:38That his friends
28:39And relative
28:40Are literally
28:41Frozen in their tracks
28:42Under the circumstances
28:45Then
28:45It is only
28:47Decent courtesy
28:48For the returned
28:49Corpse to
28:49Break the ice
28:51Don Solange
28:52Qu'est-ce que say
28:53Have you no greeting
28:55For me
28:56Ah mon pauvre
28:57Je te remerse
28:59Pardon
28:59Forgive me
29:01I thought never
29:02To see you again
29:03But here I am
29:05Ah mon cher baby
29:07Mon cher baby
29:10Well now
29:11Here is a reunion
29:13Worth celebrating
29:14That was a pretty
29:15Rough wound
29:16You had
29:16Chris
29:17Worse than it looked
29:18Thank God
29:19It was mostly
29:20Flesh damage
29:20The doctors tell me
29:22The bullet
29:23Bounced off my sternum
29:24And never entered
29:26The chest
29:26But should you
29:27Be on your feet
29:28Long enough
29:29To ease your minds
29:30About me
29:31I am
29:32Still a bit
29:33Woozy
29:33It was like a time
29:34You took the
29:35XB2 slant
29:36Off tackle
29:36Against Ohio State
29:37And that big linebacker
29:39Sawchuck
29:39Kicked you in the head
29:40Something
29:43Something like that
29:44Tell them
29:46The good news
29:47El generissimo
29:48Set my aunt's
29:50Mind at rest
29:51Well I know
29:52You hold out
29:53My motives
29:54Even Christophe did
29:55I can hardly
29:57Blame him
29:58Since I took
29:58Such extreme measures
30:00To bring him
30:00Here to
30:01Sandorinde
30:02Before his
30:03Planned arrival
30:04At the Moesia
30:05What was your reason
30:06For that
30:07We walk a tide rope
30:09On this shared
30:10Island of ours
30:11Two cultures
30:12Two languages
30:13Two forms of government
30:15Perched precariously
30:16On a ever increasing
30:18Population
30:19In a far more
30:20Ancient and
30:21Primitive culture
30:22Than either of ours
30:23Your brother
30:25And I
30:26Each in his own way
30:28Preserve
30:29That delicate balance
30:30With his
30:32Unexpected death
30:35Steps
30:35Had to be taken
30:36Why
30:37You know
30:38His plan
30:39Was to return
30:39The government
30:40To the people
30:41That would not
30:42Have worked
30:42Not even for them
30:43We would have
30:45Ended both of us
30:46In anarchy
30:47Fortunately
30:48My godson
30:49Was perceptive
30:50Enough to
30:50Realize that
30:52We have worked
30:53Out between us
30:54A better plan
30:56A compromise
30:57I would prefer
30:59To call it
31:00An entente
31:01Tell them
31:03Christophe
31:03It's quite simple
31:04Tomorrow
31:05Together
31:06My godfather
31:07And I
31:08Shall proclaim
31:09A union
31:09Between
31:10Mauritius
31:11And Senderinde
31:12A trilingual
31:13State
31:14With one government
31:16Ruled by whom
31:17By the
31:18Generalissimo
31:19And myself
31:19I as president
31:22And my godfather
31:23As prime minister
31:25Chohido
31:26In second place
31:27Ah
31:28Weird
31:28Does grow
31:29No younger
31:30Solange
31:30Someone
31:31Must
31:32Take our place
31:33I am happy
31:34To yield
31:35To the future
31:35What
31:37Better hands
31:38Could this
31:38Island be in
31:39Than in
31:40Christophe
31:41So
31:41So
31:43Now
31:44I think
31:45Mr. President
31:46You should rest
31:47Doctors can do
31:49Only so much
31:50Nature
31:51Handles the rest
31:52Yes
31:53I would like to
31:55Lie down
31:56I am sure
31:57You will be excused
31:58I beg you not
31:59To wait for me
32:00To enjoy your supper
32:01The president
32:03And myself
32:03Have a few matters
32:04To settle
32:05About the
32:06Announcement tomorrow
32:07Before he goes
32:08To speak
32:09Forgive me
32:10Please
32:11I am tired
32:13And tomorrow
32:14Is a big day
32:16Good night
32:17Good night
32:18Good night
32:19Good night
32:20Adieu
32:21Mon baby
32:23Goodbye
32:26Forever
32:27What is it
32:28What is it
32:30What is the matter
32:30With you two
32:32You saw
32:34You know
32:36Do you now
32:37Believe in zombies
32:38What are you
32:39Trying to say
32:40That wasn't
32:41Chris
32:42Who was here
32:42Just now
32:43I don't understand
32:44You don't know him
32:45As I do
32:46First he
32:46He never would
32:47Accept this deal
32:48The guy is too
32:48Decent
32:49Too honest
32:49To be part of it
32:50But there are
32:50Other things
32:51What
32:52Well first off
32:53Our school
32:54Our school
32:54Never played
32:55Ohio State
32:55Second
32:56Sawchuck
32:56Was no linebacker
32:58But a running back
32:58Who murdered us
32:59On the only loss
33:00We had together
33:00Third
33:01XB2
33:02Wasn't a run play
33:03But a deep pass play
33:04That had nothing to do
33:04With Chris
33:05Except as a decoy
33:06I don't understand
33:07The things
33:08Your husband says
33:09But I tell you
33:10That was not
33:11Christophe Leclerc
33:12Who just left
33:13Not my nephew
33:15They have stolen
33:17His soul
33:17And that
33:19I cannot allow
33:20What can we do
33:21About it
33:21Tonto Solange
33:22It is a very few
33:24Minutes to twelve
33:26I told you
33:27Hernando Trujedo
33:28Would be dead
33:29By then
33:30Remember
33:31Yes
33:33Here is a conjured doll
33:35Which will
33:36Make
33:36His death
33:39I place it
33:40On his desk
33:41So he can see it
33:43For it is
33:45By his own guilt
33:46He must die
33:48Before the end
33:50Of this day
33:51But if he doesn't
33:52Return
33:52He will return
33:53It is written
33:55In the dust
33:57Oh
33:58Nobody feels
34:00Like eating
34:01Well
34:02I don't suppose
34:04I can
34:04Altogether
34:05Blime you
34:06Shall I have you
34:07Shown to your quarters
34:08For the night
34:09Instead
34:09Where is Christophe
34:11Oh
34:12I should never
34:13Really cover out
34:14Him to overcharge
34:15Himself
34:15After being wounded
34:17He was
34:18Absolutely
34:19Exhausted
34:20I saw him
34:22To bed
34:22And you
34:23Return to suggest
34:24The same to us
34:26I think
34:27We are all
34:28Tired
34:28Whatever
34:29Discussion
34:29There may be
34:30Between us
34:31Can't wait
34:31For tomorrow
34:32For you
34:34There is no
34:35Tomorrow
34:36What do you mean?
34:38Liar
34:39Cheat
34:40Thief
34:41Murderer
34:43Look
34:44On your desk
34:48Conjured
34:49Your image
34:52Made piece
34:54By piece
34:55From your
34:55Belongings
34:56Fashioned in
34:57Your likeness
34:58Crescent in
35:00Your name
35:01With the blood
35:02Of the black
35:03Pullet
35:03Your own
35:05Bracelet
35:06Of the sacred
35:07Serpent
35:07Driven through
35:08Its brain
35:10Do you think
35:11I could buy
35:12Such childish
35:14Superstition
35:14I am no savage
35:15What a man
35:16Thinks is what
35:17He is
35:17This primitive
35:19Mumbo Jumbo
35:19Will have no
35:20Effect on me
35:21Are you sure?
35:22How large
35:23Is a bag of
35:24Guilt you carry?
35:25Will nothing
35:26Convince you
35:27Woman
35:27Your nephew
35:28My nephew
35:29Christophe
35:30Christophe is dead
35:31How can you say that?
35:32You have just seen him
35:33I saw a walking corpse
35:35More idiot
35:35Superstition
35:36Like my
35:37Conjured doll
35:38Of course
35:39You don't believe in it
35:40No
35:41And you believe in zombies
35:43You know the power
35:45Voodoo can create them
35:47You know the power
35:48Voodoo can kill
35:50What is it you want?
35:52Too late
35:53I will give you anything
35:54I offer you
35:55And these two
35:56Save transport now
35:58No strings attached
35:59How can you guarantee it?
36:01I am
36:02My power is infinite
36:04Not anymore
36:05The clock is ticking
36:07Your life away
36:08Twelve o'clock
36:10Only a few seconds left
36:13Help me
36:14Help me
36:15I cannot help
36:16The die is cast
36:18You cannot even help yourself
36:20I will give you money
36:21Jewels
36:22Anything
36:23Name it
36:23What do you want?
36:25What you cannot give me
36:27What you stole from my nephew
36:30His soul
36:31I want yours in return
36:34And die
36:38By the power granted me
36:41As an opium woman
36:42Vested in my hands
36:45By the uncoiling
36:46Sacred serpent
36:48To take the place
36:50Of the voodoo doll
36:53As it should to all tyrants
36:56So comes a violent death
37:00To you
37:00I condemn you
37:03To everlasting fire
37:05And death
37:06By the serpent
37:08Writhing in your face
37:10No
37:10No
37:11I cannot die
37:12I am the dictator
37:14I am supreme
37:16I am the law
37:17No one can touch me
37:19Do you hear?
37:20No one
37:23You condemn me
37:25All I have to do
37:27Is raise this pistol
37:29And you
37:35What happened?
37:37I wouldn't like to guess
37:39Does it matter?
37:41He's dead
37:42Are you sure?
37:44He's dead all right
37:46Now what?
37:47Gotta get away
37:48Escape somehow
37:49How do we get through
37:50The palace guard
37:52At least I have his gun
37:54We better try
37:54And make a run for it
37:55We have to rescue
37:57My nephew first
37:58But tell to Solange
38:00He's our enemy now
38:01I still must rescue him
38:03Mi padrono
38:04He'll release him all
38:05Watch him save me
38:06I'm the gun
38:06Guard, guard
38:10That's for Bill Hawkins
38:12Pat
38:12Tell him run for it
38:14I'll try to hold him off
38:15You can't kill dead men
38:17With that Garcia
38:18Yes
38:18But not a zombie
38:20Hand me that salt cellar
38:22Here
38:22But what good
38:23Salt is the only thing
38:25That will kill a zombie
38:34It's Chris
38:36Lying on the bed
38:38Is he
38:38No
38:39No, he's still breathing
38:40He's just asleep
38:41Leave me alone with him
38:44Go if you want to
38:46But leave me with Christoph
38:48Will you be long?
38:50As long as it must take
38:52Go
38:53Well, we can't find our way out of here without you
38:55We'll wait
38:56Oh, great serpent who coils about the sky
39:00And holds our world together
39:03Help me now
39:06Help me to break the black magic
39:09That chains my baby to a living death
39:13Help me to bring his soul home to you
39:19Christoph
39:21Christoph
39:24Listen to me
39:27It is Tanta Solange who speaks
39:31You know me as an opium magician
39:35My magic is greater than the magic of the Hugon who made you what you are
39:42He summoned you from the grave and stole away your soul
39:48Now I must summon you back to the grave
39:53Back to the dead
39:56The everlasting dead
40:00So that your immortal soul may live
40:05But only you can break the bonds
40:11Rise
40:13Zombie
40:14Rise
40:19And cross to the window
40:23Open the shutters
40:30Now
40:32Now
40:33Open your eyes
40:35And look at the sea
40:38No
40:39No
40:40In the name of the great serpent
40:44I command you
40:46Open your eyes
40:51Chante
40:53Chante
40:55I'm
40:58Going
41:05My baby
41:08My baby
41:10My baby
41:12Chante
41:13You alright?
41:15What happened to think?
41:16His body may be dead
41:18But his soul is safe
41:24Christoph
41:25Is home
41:27At last
41:37The death of the dictator
41:38Set a people free
41:40In a mad orgy of festival and delight
41:42In the wild celebration that lit up the city
41:45No one had time to pay any attention
41:48To the three somber people
41:50Who found their way back to the hotel
41:53For Pat, Steve and Tanta Solange
41:55There was sadness
41:57But solace too
41:59The king was dead
42:01But so was the zombie
42:03Who might have held him prisoner for eternity
42:05I'll return shortly
42:18Power of suggestion
42:20Hypnosis
42:22Superstitious fear
42:24Overpowering guilt complexes
42:26Terror of the unknown
42:29Do any or all of these
42:31Explain the events
42:32Of the tale
42:33I've just told
42:35Or are there really
42:36Such terrifying things
42:38As
42:38A walking corpse
