All language subtitles for The Adventures of Superman - S01e18 - Drums Of Death

Faster than a speeding bullet.

More powerful than a locomotive.

Able to leap tall buildings
at a single bound.

- Look. Up in the sky.
-lt's a bird.

- It's a plane.
-lt's Superman.

Yes, it's Superman,
strange visitor from another planet...

...who came to Earth with powers
and abilities...

...far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change
the course of mighty rivers...

...bend steel in his bare hands...

...and who. disguised as Clark Kent...

---mild-mannered reporter
for a great metropolitan newspaper.

...fights a never-ending battle for truth,
justice and the American way.

And now, another exciting episode
in the Adventures oi Superman.

That's the last piece of film
I got from her.

Let's see. today's the 15th...
A week ago Friday.

- Ten days.
- We haven't heard from Jim either.

I ought to have my head examined.
That sister of mine's crazy enough...

...l had to send Olsen to Haiti with her.
Two irresponsible nuts. A fine pair.

The Haitian officials can't find
a trace of them?

Nothing. I've spent $200 on phone calls.

I don't like it. Kent. I don't like it one bit.

Did you see that voodoo doctor.
or whatever he was?

He knew he was being photographed.

Suppose I fly down there.
just take a look around.

It's a good idea. I have two tickets
on the midnight Pan Am Clipper.

- Two?
- Yes. I’m going with you.

You don't have to make the trip.
In fact. I'll do much better alone.

- I think I can make my own decisions alone.
- Just what I’m afraid of.

- What?
- Oh. nothing. chief. nothing.

I had the boys make a blowup
of this voodoo doctor. just in case.

I hope they aren't in his hands.

So do I. You'd better go home
and get packed.

- Our plane leaves in 55 minutes.
- Right.

This is Haiti. messieurs.

Our police methods are somewhat different
than those in the United States...

...because our problems
are not the same.

However. my government
has instructed me...

...to give you every assistance
within my power.

- This I gladly do.
- Good. What do you suggest, Mr. Bergeret?

What can I suggest? The gendarmerie
have searched the entire island...

...for your sister and the young man. Olsen.
It is unfortunate.

That drum. ls that a voodoo drum?

No. monsieur. Voodoo is
no longer practiced in Haiti...

-...except. perhaps. in secret.
- Sounds like a voodoo drum to me.

That drum is only talking. sending
a message to someone back in the bush.

- You understand what it's saying?
- No. monsieur.

Unfortunately. that course was not included
in the curriculum at Harvard University.

Tamboo say two white men
talk to Antoine Bergeret in hotel.

This was taken from the last piece of film
my sister sent back to the States.

This would appear
to be a voodoo doctor.

But on the other hand.
sometimes photographers...

...how you say. arrange such things.

Not my sister. When she
takes a picture of a voodoo doctor...

...you can be sure it's the McCoy.
the real thing.

If this is the real thing.
then your sister's peril is also very real...

...for only the ignorant and the superstitious
believe in the powers of voodoo.

And the ignorant and the superstitious
are always dangerous.

If you don't need me. I think l'll take
a walk. I’m curious about that drum.

If you will allow me to suggest...

...the Haitian bush is not the best place
for a stranger. especially at night.

- Well--
- Of course not. Stay where you are.

When we go into the bush.
we'll take a competent guide.

It’ll be happy to supply a detachment
of gendarmes to accompany you.

No. let's leave the police out of this. Just
get me a good guide who speaks English.

I have a hunch if we find this bird.
we'll find my sister and Olsen.

There are two men here
who know the jungle quite well.

An American and an Englishman.

- One of them is--
- Come in. I mean. entrez.

- I hope I’m not intruding.
- Certainly not.

As a matter of fact.
I was about to mention your name.

These gentlemen were just inquiring
as to someone...

...who could guide them
into the back country.

Mr. White and Mr. Kent.
permit me to introduce...

...Mr. William Johnson.
one of the men I spoke of.

- How do you do.
-lt's a pleasure.

- How do you do.
- How do you do.

- Won't you sit down. please.
- Thank you.

I heard some drum talk
back in the hills a short time ago.

It said strangers
were having a conference...

...with Monsieur Bergeret at the hotel.
I figured it had to do...

...with the missing photographer
and her assistant.

The drums spoke of Miss White?

No. that was an assumption
on my part.

Which turned out to be correct.

And now. if you gentlemen will excuse me.
I have some reports to get out.

And if you need any official assistance
from the Haitian government...

-...please do not hesitate to call on me.
- Thank you. I appreciate it. I'll see you out.

What's that drum saying now.
Mr. Johnson?

Sorry. I wasn't listening to it.

Did you meet Miss White
when she was in Cap-Haitien?

I had the pleasure of meeting her
and her assistant-- Nelson. I believe?

Olsen. Jim Olsen.

Yes. We met at a party
at Monsieur Bergerefs home.

Incidentally...

...who's this ugly brute?

That's what we
came down here to find out.

Bergeret tells me you've spent
over 12 years here in Haiti.

Yes. I’m an amateur explorer
and do a little writing.

Would you be interested in guiding us
into the bush country?

If you're looking for him. Mr. White.
he's a bokor. a voodoo doctor.

I've managed to stay healthy here
by keeping out of voodoo.

- You don't believe in voodoo?
- I believe in sharp knives and poisons.

If your sister and Olsen
were unfortunate enough...

...to fall into the hands
of voodoo cultists, my advice...

-...is to forget about them and go back.
- We can do without that kind of advice.

Then have the sense
to keep out of the jungle.

Let the Haitian gendarmes handle it.
That's what they're paid for.

- Good night. gentlemen.
- Good night.

Well. of all the conceited--

Good evening.
Sorry if I seemed to be eavesdropping.

- Seemed to be?
- Matter of fact. I wasn't.

Didn't want to tangle up
with Johnson.

- We grate on each other's nerves.
- Who are you and what do you want?

I'm Dr. Leland Masters.
You're Miss White's brother, I take it.

- I am.
- Strong family resemblance.

Cranial structure very similar.
Anthropologist. I notice these things.

This is Mr. Kent.
Bergeret told me about him.

He's the Englishman
familiar with the bush.

Ought to be. Spent the last eight years
tramping through it measuring skulls.

Ethnology. tiresome work.
Don't know why I ever took it up.

Dr. Masters, did you hear anything
of particular interest...

...while you were standing
at that window?

I heard Johnson give you some good
advice about staying out of the bush.

Heard him give you some better advice
about not getting mixed up in voodoo.

I take it you wouldn't be interested
in guiding us into the bush.

I didn't say that. Said it's
a good place to stay away from...

...but if you want to go looking
for your sister and the boy. I'll take you.

- Tomorrow morning?
-7:30?

We'll be ready. Would you care
to go out that way?

No. I'll go through the garden.
the way I came in.

Just a moment, doctor.
How did you know we were here?

I heard a rada drum talking.

I savvy that drum talk.

- It isn't mine.
- I know.

- Johnson left it.
- Well. at least we've got a guide.

- I wonder.
- What do you mean?

Ever notice how clean and fresh it is
down here. chief? No soot, no grime.

- What?
- I said. no soot. no grime.

Of course not.
This is a tropical island. not Pittsburgh.

- Well. I think l'll go to bed. chief.
- At 8:00? What's the matter. Kent?

First you wanted to take a walk.
now you want to go to bed.

- I'm sorry--
- You've got to stay...

...and help plan tomorrow's trip
into the bush.

- Can't we do it in the morning?
- All right. I'll do it myself.

- Good night, chief.
- Good night.

Mademoiselle White...

...you would like me to remove
those heavy iron chains from your wrists?

You still think they are made of paper?

They are not made of paper.
They are made of heavy iron.

Heavy. heavy iron. Are they not?

Yes.

I will remove them if you tell me why you
were in the secret corridor of the Citadelle.

- Tell me!
- I was taking pictures.

Pictures of what?
What secrets have you learned?

- I don't know.
- Tell me!

I don't remember.

Go back. then. to your cell and think.

And think until you do remember.

Miss White.

Yes?

Those chains on your wrists.
they're only paper. You can break them.

No. They're made of iron.

- They're only paper. I'll break them for you.
- No.

Only Legbu can break these chains.

If anyone else breaks them. I will die.

- You won't die--
- No. no. Please. no.

All right. I won't touch them.

Tell me. do you know
where Jim Olsen is?

You remember Jim Olsen. don't you?

- They got you too. huh. Jim?
- Superman.

- You all right?
- Sure. But. golly. how did you find me?

Never mind about that.
What's happened to Miss White?

She drank tea at Bergerefs house.

- Tea?
- Yeah. I didn't drink any.

I don't know whether Mr. Johnson
or Dr. Masters drank any.

- They were at Bergerefs place?
- Yeah. I know Miss White drank some.

- I saw her.
- Go on.

- There was something in it.
- What makes you think so?

Because of what happened after. We left
Bergerefs and came here to the Citadelle...

...and a bunch of guys jumped out
and grabbed us.

- Talk fast. someone's coming.
- That voodoo man. Legbu...

...brought us into an underground room
and he put paper chains on us...

...and told us they were iron.
Miss White believed him...

...so I figured she must be drugged.
I pretended I believed him too...

...until I could beat it and get help.

Start digging-

Stop digging-

Turn.

Of what hidden things
did the woman take pictures?

- I don't know.
- You know.

I don't know.

When you find the secret passage
to Christophe's treasure...

-...l will remove this iron chain.
- Yes.

Turn.

Dig.

- It's all right. He's gone.
- Why didn't you grab him?

That's the guy that got
Miss White hypnotized.

No one can be hypnotized against his will.
Jim. Now. you were right the first time.

- He's controlling her mind. She's drugged.
- What will we do?

Just keep up your act until I get back.

That Legbu's crazy.
Boy. I'd like to get away from here.

You will. don't worry. Just as soon
as I find out who's behind this.

See you later.

Are you gonna wear
that outfit into the jungle?

It might be better
if I talked with Mr. Bergeret.

I telephoned him.
He said he'd come over.

You mean you don't want
to go into the jungle?

- I think I can do more good here.
- Where it's nice and safe.

- I have a theory I want to work out.
- Sometimes I wonder--

What's the use?

The trail forks here. That one
goes to the village of Tiburon.

- And that one?
- That goes up to the Citadelle.

- We'd better take the trail to Tiburon.
- Why not to the Citadelle?

There's a lot of bush talk about strange
things going on up there, probably voodoo.

Then we'll go to the Citadelle.

All right.

- Oh. come in.
- I’m sorry to be late. Monsieur Kent.

- I was unavoidably detained.
- Quite all right.

Is there a chemist or a laboratory
here in Cap-Haitien?

No. but there is such a government
laboratory in Port-au-Prince.

- Do you wish something analyzed?
- Yes. I do.

In regard to the disappearance
of Mademoiselle White?

Permit me to be of assistance.
I'll take you to Port-au-Prince...

-...in a government plane.
- I’m in a hurry--

We will leave at once.
I'll personally introduce you...

...to the government chemist.
Dr. Simone Girarde.

- What's the matter?
- This trail is closed.

What do you mean. closed?

- That is a voodoo lock, ouanga.
- So what?

To cross over one
is supposed to mean death.

Of all the ridiculous things.

That's what I think of voodoo.

Don't move.

- What the“?
- Get your hands up.

It’ll be happy to conduct an analysis
as quickly as possible. Monsieur Kent...

-...but these things take time.
- Thank you. Dr. Girarde. I'll wait.

If you wish.

I have some business to attend to
at the courthouse. Monsieur Kent.

- I shall rejoin you here later.
- Thank you.

- That's the fellow we're looking for.
- Looks like he found us.

Why did you come to the bush.
showing my photograph to natives...

-...and asking where I could be found?
- What have you done with my sister?

That is an interesting question.

There will be more interesting questions
when the gendarmes get here.

If they do get here. monsieur. they will not
find any witnesses to testify against me.

You are a student of Haitian history.
monsieur le docteur.

I will spare you so that later you
may answer some questions for me.

Thank you.

You will go in there for the present.
monsieur le docteur.

My advice to you, Mr. White.
Is to cooperate.

I have another room for you.

You will go in quietly. monsieur.

Kate. Kate. lt's me. Perry.
Kate. don't you recognize me?

Get in there.

So you knew it was only paper.

This is a most interesting room
that you have entered.

It is known as the wine press.

Do you see that small stone gutter
and that little hole in the floor?

That is so the wine can run through
when the grapes are squeezed.

I am now going to remove
the hypnotic spell from Miss White...

...and then I’m going
to ask her a question.

- Upon her answer depend your lives.
- But she doesn't know the answer.

It will be most unfortunate
for all of you if she does not.

Miss White...

...turn toward me.

I only know that when I gave him
the result of the analysis...

...he seemed very excited and left at once.
asking me to tell you that he had...

...to return to Cap-Haitien immediately.

But if he was in such a hurry.
why did he not wait for me?

I had agreed to return him by airplane.

What substance
was on the handkerchief?

Burnt sienna. cocoa butter. bolomania.

Can you tell me. Monsieur Bergeret.
what possible significance that could have?

lam not sure. but...

I must return to Cap-Haitien at once.

But I tell you. I had no reason
for taking pictures in the lower corridors...

...except for photographic interest.
I didn't see any secret doors.

I am not convinced
that you're telling the truth.

$0...

What are you going to do?

I am going to use this room for the same
purpose that Henri Christophe used it.

- Thank heavens.
- Thank Superman.

- Where's Dr. Masters?
- Locked behind that stone wall.

What“? Who are you?

That's Superman.

- I always thought you were only a legend.
- Legbu! He's getting away.

He's not the only one mixed up in this.

I think Dr. Masters
knows some of the answers.

- You're quite wrong. I know nothing of this.
- Someone does.

Now. watch.

It's Johnson!

I didn't think you were this big a fool.

All this voodoo rigmarole is a blind...

...to cover up his attempt
to steal the Christophe treasure.

It’ll find it yet, don't you worry.

Why did you think I knew
anything about the treasure?

I saw you snooping around
with a camera.

My sister is a photographer! And you
can't take photographs without a camera!

- Perry. don't lose your temper.
- I almost lost my life over this imbecile.

Digging for treasure.
You'll get plenty of digging in prison.

Well. don't be afraid of this tea. Jim.
I made it personally.

No. thank you.
I think I'll still stick to water.

- The prodigal son returns.
- Hi. Mr. Kent.

Hiya. Jim. Hello. Miss White.
Glad to see you safe and sound.

I'm glad to be safe and sound.
Mr. Kent. I assure you.

- Where have you been?
- Port-au-Prince.

Port-au-Prince. eh? We came close
to being crushed to death.

We'd all be dead if not for Superman.

- Really?
- You've never seen anything like it.

The walls were closing in.
and we would've all been crushed--

But. Monsieur Kent-- How did you
get back here so quickly?

I flew.
