[00:00:22]Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[00:00:41]Wow.

[00:01:00]All I got here.

[00:01:04]Wahoo!

[00:01:06]Wahoo!

[00:01:15]Hallelujah!

[00:01:32]My grand looks like a burial >> in the road.

[00:01:54]Driver, what is it?

[00:02:01]>> It's a funeral, man.

[00:02:04]They're afraid of the men who steal dead bodies, so they dig the graves in the middle of the road where people pass all of the time.

[00:02:24]Well, that's a cheerful introduction for you to our West Indies.

[00:03:04]Do you know where is the house of Msia Bumar?

[00:03:31]Zombie Harve.

[00:03:41]It's got like 10 clutching me.

[00:04:34]Why did you Drive like that, you fool.

[00:04:36]We might have been killed.

[00:04:38]>> Worse than that, Miss. We might have been caught.

[00:04:42]>> Caught by whom? Those men you spoke to?

[00:04:45]>> They are not men, Miss.

[00:04:48]They are dead bodies. Dead?

[00:04:51]>> Yes, Miss Zombie.

[00:04:55]The living dead.

[00:04:58]courses taken from their graves for me to work in sugar mills and fields at night.

[00:05:09]Look, here they come.

[00:05:22]Look, look.

[00:05:35]Excuse me, please. Have you got a match?

[00:05:40]>> Did I frighten you?

[00:05:43]>> I'm sorry. I'm ugly enough, I suppose.

[00:05:45]>> No, it wasn't you. Something happened back on the road there. We stopped to speak to some men.

[00:05:52]Our driver told us they weren't men at all. He said they were corpses.

[00:05:59]Corpses?

[00:06:02]Surely you don't believe it, do you?

[00:06:03]>> No.

[00:06:06]Well, I don't know.

[00:06:08]Haiti is full of nonsense and superstition. They're always mixed up with a lot of mysteries that turn your hair gray. I've been a missionary here for oh 30 years, and at times I don't know what to think.

[00:06:23]Come, let's go in the house.

[00:06:25]>> Oh, yes. Come >> is uh is Mr. Bowmont in?

[00:06:38]>> You're expected, Dr. Brewer?

[00:06:41]>> Yes, I I've been sent for to marry someone maybe.

[00:06:52]Yes. Excuse me.

[00:07:00]Uh, it's How long is it that you know Mr. Bowman? Oh, only a few days. Madlin introduced him on the docks in Port Prince. Huh. And you?

[00:07:10]>> I met him on the ship coming from New York. He was very kind during the voyage.

[00:07:15]>> So, Madlin and I planned to be married the moment she arrived, but Mr. The Bulma persuaded us to come here. He promised to take me out of the bank at Port Prince and send me to New York as his agent.

[00:07:27]Strange.

[00:07:30]That's very strange.

[00:07:32]You >> I'll tell Mr. Bowmont you're here.

[00:07:47]It's all right, isn't it, doctor?

[00:07:50]>> Oh, I guess so. You see, I I've only met Mr. Bulmont once or twice, but but he never struck me like a man that would take the trouble to play fairy godfather to a young couple like you.

[00:08:05]Unless >> Unless what, sir?

[00:08:24]I suppose you'll think I'm a middle and old fool, but you know, I'd feel a good deal better if you'd clear out of this place after you're married and have nothing more to do with Mr. Bowman.

[00:08:38]The young people have arrived, sir, and Dr. Bruner. They're waiting in the reception hall.

[00:08:45]>> Show them to their room and tell them I'm out.

[00:08:48]>> Yes.

[00:08:48]>> No, wait.

[00:08:51]Perhaps I'd better see them. It might look odd if I didn't.

[00:08:55]>> Very odd, sir. Especially as Dr. Bruner is a trifle skeptical as to your motives, sir.

[00:09:03]>> Never mind my motives.

[00:09:05]Has that other person sent word yet?

[00:09:08]>> No, sir. Not yet.

[00:09:14]>> He's 24 hours late.

[00:09:18]>> I wish you'd keep away from that man, sir. He'll make trouble for you.

[00:09:24]>> You needn't worry about that. I'm not afraid of him.

[00:09:27]>> I'm not easily frightened, sir. You should know that. But what you're planning is dangerous. Don't you suppose I know that, Silver?

[00:09:36]You don't seem to realize what this girl means to me. Why I'd sacrifice anything I have in the world for her?

[00:09:44]And nothing matters if I can't have her.

[00:09:52]>> I think I think you like Haiti. Most people that >> Oh, Meline, I'm delighted to see you.

[00:10:03]Neil, you're more than welcome.

[00:10:04]>> Thank you, sir.

[00:10:06]>> Doctor, it was very kind of you to busy man you are.

[00:10:08]>> No, no, not at all. There's a there's a native family live out here that I've been trying to see for a long time.

[00:10:14]After this young couple are safely married, I leave.

[00:10:17]>> But surely you'll stay for dinner after the ceremony.

[00:10:19]>> Oh, no, no, no. I must run along.

[00:10:22]>> Well, that's a great pity. We had something very special prepared for this occasion.

[00:10:27]It was very good of you, Meline, to humor the whim of a lonely man. There was so little time to prepare. I couldn't do half the things I have to do for you.

[00:10:35]>> You You've done more than enough already, Mr. Bulmont, for a comparative stranger. You've made us so happy giving Neil a position in the States.

[00:10:43]>> Neil?

[00:10:44]>> Yes. Yes, indeed.

[00:10:46]>> Oh, yes, of course. I'm sure Neil will make a very good agent. But you must be tired after your drive. You'll get some rest. Silver.

[00:10:56]Silver will show you to your rooms.

[00:10:58]>> This way, please.

[00:12:15]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:39]Heat.

[00:12:58]Heat.

[00:13:03]Heat.

[00:14:26]I'm delighted to see you again.

[00:14:48]Please, I'm sorry that kept you waiting this year.

[00:15:01]I have been on a journey seeking men for my milk.

[00:15:07]men. They work faithfully and they are not worried about long hours.

[00:15:16]You You could make good use of men like mine on your plantation.

[00:15:21]>> No, that's not what I want.

[00:15:28]Then perhaps you wish to talk about the young lady who came to your house this evening. You've seen her when the road tonight.

[00:15:51]There was a young man there to be married tonight. You waited too long to do anything. What do you want me to do?

[00:16:03]If she were to disappear for a month, what do you hope to gain by her disappearance? Everything. Everything.

[00:16:14]Do you think she will forget her lover in a month? Just give me a money. One little not in a month, not even a year.

[00:16:29]I have looked into her eyes.

[00:16:34]He is deep in love, but not with you.

[00:16:39]They shall be married within an hour.

[00:16:42]There must be a way.

[00:16:53]That is the way.

[00:16:59]The cost is happy.

[00:17:05]You give me what I want and you may ask anything.

[00:17:34]No, not that.

[00:18:01]Only a pin boy, a silver man in a glass of wine or perhaps a flower.

[00:18:12]Take it. The time is very brief. How much do you share if I to help you?

[00:18:22]Keep it here.

[00:18:28]Keep it.

[00:18:30]You may change your mind.

[00:18:47]Send me word.

[00:18:49]When you use it, >> I'll find another way.

[00:19:06]>> There is no other way.

[00:19:26]They are driving away evil spirits.

[00:19:30]Close it. Close it.

[00:19:55]I love you, Maline, more than anything else in this whole world. Here, heaven or hell lies in this little number for me. You can raise me up to paradise, or you can blast my world into nothingness.

[00:20:06]There's time yet, dear. I can make you the envy of every woman. I'll give my whole life to make you happy.

[00:20:15]Oh, listen to me, dear, before it's too late.

[00:20:18]>> Don't. Please, >> don't go into that room. We can be in Porter Prince in half an hour. There's a boat sailing at midnight.

[00:20:28]>> You've been so wonderful. Don't spoil everything. Now, >> one last gift before I lose you forever.

[00:22:25]Ah no.

[00:23:05]This is the night of mercy.

[00:23:10]A toast to the bride to beauty's queen.

[00:23:16]Gladly, my lord, leave but a kiss within the glass.

[00:23:28]Fair gypsy, lead my fortune.

[00:23:39]What do you see in the glass?

[00:23:43]>> I see happening.

[00:23:48]I see love far more than you deserve.

[00:23:54]>> Is that all?

[00:23:56]No, I see.

[00:24:07]I see.

[00:24:08]>> What is it?

[00:24:11]>> I see death.

[00:24:15]Meline.

[00:24:20]>> Meline. What's wrong? Meline, my dear.

[00:24:23]Please.

[00:24:34]Oh no.

[00:24:40]Mine. Madlin.

[00:24:44]Can't we do something? Jesus. Please.

[00:24:48]Meline.

[00:25:00]My wife. My wife.

[00:25:33]The grave of our Lord and Savior and the love of God and the fellowship of his angels be with us ever more.

[00:25:43]Amen.

[00:26:27]Neo.

[00:26:35]Come on.

[00:27:02]Neil, Neil, Neil.

[00:27:09]Yeah.

[00:27:24]Sorry.

[00:27:57]Look.

[00:28:10]The zombies?

[00:28:13]Yes, they are my servants.

[00:28:16]Did you think we could do it alone?

[00:28:20]In a lifetime, they were my enemies.

[00:28:25]Let go the witch doctor.

[00:28:28]Once my master secrets I tortured out of him ward the swine swollen with riches. He fought against my spells until the last him.

[00:28:42]Yes I have trouble.

[00:28:45]His Excellenc once minister of the interior Garcia Brigenchi Marque of Jandamry and this this is Chauan the high executioner who almost executed me.

[00:29:15]I took them just as we will take this one. But what if they regain their souls?

[00:29:28]They will tear me to pieces.

[00:29:31]And that, my friend, shall never be.

[00:30:50]Meline.

[00:30:56]Madeline.

[00:31:04]I win.

[00:32:31]There's two explanations to strike me.

[00:32:34]Either the body was stolen by members of a death cult that use human bones in their ceremonies or else. Or else what?

[00:32:43]>> She's not dead.

[00:32:50]Not dead?

[00:32:52]Are you mad? I saw her die. The doctor signed a certificate. I saw them bury her. Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[00:33:00]I'm not mad.

[00:33:02]But I've lived in these islands for a good many years, and I've seen things with my eyes that made me think I was crazy.

[00:33:12]their superstitions in Haiti that the natives brought here from Africa.

[00:33:18]Some of them can be traced back as far as ancient Egypt and beyond that yet in the countries that was old when Egypt was young.

[00:33:27]>> Yes, but what is that to do with Madlin?

[00:33:29]I kissed her as she lay there in the coffin and her lips were cold.

[00:33:37]>> Let me explain now. Just a minute. I'll explain.

[00:33:41]Wherever there is a superstition, you will find there is also a practice.

[00:33:46]Now, do you remember what your driver told you the night he took you to Bowman's house?

[00:33:50]>> Oh, about those horrible creatures we saw.

[00:33:52]>> Yeah.

[00:33:52]>> He said they were corpses taken from their grave. Now, now that's the superstition. Now, for the practice, the ghouls that steal the dead corpses from the graves are supposed to put them there in the first place.

[00:34:06]Do you mean that Meline was murdered so that somebody could steal her dead body?

[00:34:11]Ah, nonsense.

[00:34:12]>> No, no, not her not her her body. Yes, but not her dead body. That's what I mean.

[00:34:20]>> Well, surely you don't think she's alive in the hands of natives.

[00:34:24]>> Oh, no. Better dead than that.

[00:34:27]>> Excuse me, please. Have you got a match?

[00:34:31]Thank you.

[00:34:40]You don't believe that, do you?

[00:34:43]Say, there's been lots of people that's been pronounced dead that came alive again and lived for years. Now, if it's if nature can play pranks like that, why isn't it possible to play pranks with nature?

[00:34:57]>> Oh, I don't know.

[00:35:01]Your driver believed he saw dead men walking.

[00:35:08]He didn't.

[00:35:09]What he saw was men alive in everything but this and this.

[00:35:17]>> Oh, the whole thing has me confused. I just can't understand it.

[00:35:22]>> Well, I don't blame you. I don't blame you. I've been trying for years to get to the bottom of this thing. To separate what you call sex from fiction.

[00:35:32]The law, the law of Haiti acknowledges the possibility of being alive. Here it is in the penis room.

[00:35:40]I'll raise it for you.

[00:35:42]>> It's in French. Do you speak French?

[00:35:44]>> No.

[00:35:46]>> Excuse me, please. Have you got a match?

[00:35:49]>> Right here. Here's one. Oh, thanks. I didn't stick it. I'll translate it for you if you fail it.

[00:35:55]Article Article 149.

[00:36:00]The use The use of drugs or other practices which produce lethargic coma or lifeless sleep shall be considered attempted murder.

[00:36:14]>> Yes.

[00:36:14]>> Attempted. Yes, I see. Yeah. All right.

[00:36:16]Now, if the person has been buried alive, the act should be considered murder. No matter what result follows form, I say you said that you couldn't understand why he was so interested in us. Do you think he did this? No. No. I think it's native word. Native word.

[00:36:39]Exactly. Of course. If you want to, we can go to Bulmont's house first.

[00:36:45]If I can get my hands on the devil that's responsible for this, I'll make him such an example that every witch doctor in Haiti will be shaken and expanded.

[00:36:55]>> But we can't do this alone.

[00:36:58]Can't the authorities help authorities?

[00:37:02]Neil, my boy, you don't know these islands. The native authorities are afraid to men. I'm not. I got friends among the natives. They'll tell me things that no jeand could ever get out of because I'm a preacher. They think I'm a magician.

[00:37:23]Before we get through with this thing, we may uncover sins that even the devil would be ashamed of.

[00:37:34]Oh, these witch doctors.

[00:38:55]Meline.

[00:39:48]Foolish things.

[00:39:51]They can't bring back the light to those eyes.

[00:39:57]I was mad to do this.

[00:40:00]But if you'd have smiled on me, I'd have done anything for you, given you anything.

[00:40:09]I thought that beauty alone would satisfy.

[00:40:14]But the soul is gone.

[00:40:17]I can't bear those empty staring eyes.

[00:40:24]Oh, forgive me, Meline. Forgive me.

[00:40:29]I can't bear it any longer. I must take you back.

[00:40:36]Back to the grave. Mercier.

[00:40:41]>> No, you must put the light back into her eyes and bring laughter to her lips.

[00:40:48]She must be gay and happy again.

[00:40:51]>> You paint a charming picture, Mir.

[00:40:54]One that I should like to see myself.

[00:41:19]You must bring her back.

[00:41:21]>> Aren't you trifle, Miss?

[00:41:25]How do you suppose those eyes will regard you when the brain is able to understand?

[00:42:04]Better to see hatred in them than that dreadful emptiness.

[00:42:10]Perhaps you're right.

[00:42:12]It would be a pity to destroy such a lovely love.

[00:42:18]Let's bring to the future of this flower a glass of wine.

[00:42:25]Silver, bring wine. We have a toast to drink.

[00:42:57]The future is here.

[00:43:16]Only a pinpoint appeared in a flower or perhaps a glass of wine.

[00:43:34]You devil. What are you trying to do to me?

[00:43:38]>> I have other plans for Madmo Misero.

[00:43:42]And I'm afraid you might not agree.

[00:43:49]I have taken off to you.

[00:43:55]Silver. Silver.

[00:44:23]Hallelujah.

[00:44:35]Heat.

[00:45:04]Don't Dong.

[00:45:36]to the future. Mercier Vulture.

[00:46:08]You No, not that. Not bad.

[00:46:27]We ought to be picking up an old rich doctor around here pretty soon. His name is Pierre. I've known him for years.

[00:46:34]He's a great old fellow.

[00:46:36]I don't know just where we find him.

[00:46:59]Come son, there are evil spirits in the road. I will give you and the one and here is one for the young man. He's sick. He's He's there.

[00:47:27]Yes. Hey, wait a minute. We can't afford to have you sick. Neil, why don't you go over there? We got a hard day before us tomorrow.

[00:47:39]Now then, here. Come on. He's gone. You can talk.

[00:47:43]>> It is a dangerous do as Minister Doom.

[00:47:47]Oh, well now listen here. You know, we are old friends, you and me, and I I want to go on.

[00:47:52]>> Turn back before it is too late.

[00:47:55]>> Oh, no. I've come too far to turn back now.

[00:47:59]>> It's too old to go all the way with you.

[00:48:03]>> Well, listen. Can't Can't you get somebody to go with it?

[00:48:07]>> My people are afraid of the mountain.

[00:48:12]>> Why? because it is called the land of the living dead.

[00:48:20]>> Well, have have you ever been there?

[00:48:24]>> I am the only man that ever came from there a lie.

[00:48:34]There is an evil spirit man that is called murder.

[00:48:42]Come. I can tell you all about what it is.

[00:49:42]monsters.

[00:49:54]Just as old Pierre said, a cloud of vultures always hovers over the house of the living dead.

[00:50:05]>> Madeline, is she there?

[00:50:08]>> No.

[00:50:09]>> I must go and see.

[00:50:10]>> No, no, no, no. Kneel, my boy. Please, please lie down and rest. Please.

[00:50:19]You'll feel stronger in the morning.

[00:50:26]You let me go up and see what I can do.

[00:50:54]Why is she so restless tonight?

[00:50:57]Perhaps she remembers something.

[00:51:01]We never remember anything when they are like that. No.

[00:51:08]Because these cattle Madlin.

[00:52:00]Madlin.

[00:52:09]Wow.

[00:52:24]Christ.

[00:52:49]He might kill you. No. I I can't stand it. I'm going to run away.

[00:54:12]Can you still hear me?

[00:54:21]It is unfortunate you are no longer able to speak.

[00:54:26]I should be interested to hear you describe your symptoms.

[00:54:41]You see, you are the first man to know what is happening.

[00:54:52]None of the others did.

[00:55:17]You refused to shake hands once.

[00:55:22]I remember.

[00:55:25]Well, well, we understand each other better now.

[01:02:09]What's the matter? It's I, Neil.

[01:02:23]Oh my darling, what have they done to you?

[01:02:48]Who are you >> and what are they for you, my friend?

[01:02:54]They are the angels of death.
