Ever wish you could live your last week all over again?

Well, my name's Frank B. Parker, and I do it all the time.

I work for a secret government project experimenting in time travel.

When things really get screwed up, I'm the guinea pig they send back to take

care of it.

The catch is, I can only go back seven days.

Oh, jambalaya and a gumbo.

Enjoy, huh?

Johnny, sit down.

Ooh.

Thank you for the gumbo. Oh, you're welcome.

Now, how about I catch you a spell for good luck, hmm?

Jesus, Lucy, that'd be great. Okay, great.

Huh? Yeah.

Jesus.

You know, I got better things to do than come around here to write you up for

health code violations.

Violations, Lieutenant. I told you.

You got vermin in here.

I got to shut you down.

That man is sick in his soul.

I better leave.

You don't got to leave, Lucy. I don't want to cause any trouble.

Not with you.

You didn't have to be together at the back of some car.

You said you were going to leave your wife alone.

Now you know it's not that easy, my pretty flower.

Besides, you know you're the only one I really love.

I've had enough.

Stay in the car.

Let go of me.

You lousy...

No, this ain't a health violation.

Your good luck just ran out, Johnny.

Ma 'am?

Ma 'am, are you all right?

Hands where I can see them.

Current vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Herod Masterson, who

the world's highest aircraft altitude record five years ago, will commemorate

that event by flying this weekend in the Pensacola All -Marine Air Show in the

very plane that he broke the record with, the Spirit of the Sky.

It's an honor to be an American, and a privilege to have been one of the many

great pilots in this country that have pushed the aviation history forward.

Oh, please.

I hate that guy!

Everybody hated that guy.

Get sick and die, you bastard!

Or crawl back into whatever hole you're living in, you mother...

I have to die,

Lucy.

I'm gonna die.

Don't you worry, Johnny.

I'm working on the biggest spill ever.

I don't know.

Voodoo? Johnny, the magics of voodoo are a powerful thing, but

not evil.

These bars, these walls, they don't mean anything to the great spirit of Shaka

Zoo, and he's in good with Jamaica.

I wish I could believe you, Lucien. I really do.

You're a good person.

Johnny.

You're gonna be a free man.

A pure soul has been shackled and threatened by evil.

Uncover the evil so that a pure soul

can be saved.

Since when do we allow little witches in an execution?

But we burnt witches.

Can we get her out of here?

She's here at Mr. Madalena's request.

The law says we've got to respect the wishes of the condemned on their final

day.

So we going running or what, man?

Oh, yeah, sorry, yeah, yeah.

I had the weirdest dream last night.

Johnny Maddalena was in it.

Johnny Maddalena from Somalia?

Yeah, you remember him?

Yeah, Frank, he was executed last night.

You're kidding, right?

No. A few years ago, he killed a girl in New Orleans.

Well, that doesn't sound like Johnny.

He didn't even like killing the enemy.

Evidence was found that exonerated this man, Johnny Madalena, who was charged

with murder in 1997.

Sadly, Madalena was executed for that crime just six days ago.

This ATM surveillance footage, given anonymously to the New Orleans police,

shows the suspected murderer, prominent New Orleans businessman, Tyler Langford.

A warrant was issued for his arrest, but the man has eluded authorities thus

far. Opponents of the death penalty vow not to let Madalena's death be in vain.

The man was the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Bradley. The panel's at

got to be considering a backstop. They are, but no decision has been made.

General Masterson had at least as many enemies as he did friends.

Oh, but he was a patriot, sir.

And a great man.

Talmadge. What are you talking about, man? You hated him. Where'd you get that

idea? Oh, maybe it was from the time you told me he spit on you and then made

you clean out the latrines.

After he ordered everybody not to flush him. Because you liked stripes more than

you liked the movie pattern.

Yeah, but that's when I realized that he was just trying to make me a better

person. I should thank that man for all the lessons he taught me.

Understood. The panel has approved the back step.

We make the jump and make sure Masterson never flies in that air show.

Owsley, listen.

I need a favor.

That is...

Not what it looked like.

So it's not Austrian lesbians in bikinis.

Did you need something?

Yeah, uh, but you gotta keep it secret.

Can you give me a copy of the news report on Johnny Madalena?

I could, but why would I?

Because I say so.

Check the ratios on that as well.

Just keep it secret until we launch, okay?

Reaction to 90%. 100%. End game.

This is really good, Johnny.

Don't worry, buddy.

I'm coming.

Guys, tonight, you'll see.

They're gonna kill me.

Don't worry.

I'm working on my biggest...

I

don't

have much time to explain, but I've got evidence that'll prove you innocent.

I told you, child.

I just didn't expect him to be so, well, peaked.

Lucy's a voodoo woman, my friend.

Good voodoo. Not dead, but good, huh?

Yeah, look, I realize you're a little stressed out right now, Johnny, but we

don't have much time left, so I'm going to go.

Everything's going to be fine. Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hang in there, Johnny.

Nice to meet you.

I'll be back.

Hi, Governor.

How are you? Good. How are you doing? I'm fine. Daddy.

Good to hear.

Isn't this a great gathering?

It's wonderful, darling. It's good to see so many campaign contributors here.

Governor's job is never done, my darling.

Don't you know? You're not the governor.

Not yet.

But your daddy can't hold the office forever.

We'll see about that.

Pardon me.

Mr. Langford, there's a Mr. Robidoux here to see you.

Would you both excuse me for just a moment? Certainly.

Here's the final payment.

Now this concludes our business arrangement.

A finalist, that's a definite word.

Don't try to pull anything on me, Mr. Rubidoux.

You've already been more than well compensated for your services.

Our arrangement ends at midnight, just like Johnny Madlena.

Conundrum. Where are you, Frank?

New Orleans. Listen.

A week before Mardi Gras. What, did you backstep so you could bone up on your

gutter puking?

What's the mission, Frank?

That seems like an odd reason for a backstab, Frank. Well, the guy's

but he was executed in the last timeline.

His name's Johnny Madalena. Our buddy from the Seals?

Yeah. Oh, this is ridiculous, sir. Parker, we're not your personal

Frank, what's the real reason for the backstab?

I, uh... Can't tell you, sir.

What? Are you kidding me?

Here we go. Not until we get that stay.

Look, I'm sorry, sir, but we're running... of time here. The execution

scheduled for midnight tonight.

Get that stay, and I promise, I promise we'll deal with the real mission.

Well, what are we going to do, sir?

Well, for now, I'm going to try and get that stay of execution.

See if you can trace him and haul his ass back in here. Yes, sir.

This is an outrage!

Here's your governor.

Yes, sir, right over there.

Governor Paulson?

Excuse me.

Frank Parker. I'm with the NSA.

Good to meet you.

Can I have a word with you, sir?

Uh, yes.

Excuse me a moment, would you?

John Maddalena.

You need to stop his execution tonight. I have proof that he's innocent.

Is there somewhere I can show you this?

Uh, yes. Just, uh, follow me.

This is footage of the real murderer.

It isn't John Maddalena.

I think you'll find this interesting, sir.

What's going on here?

Come on.

Look, I don't know what this is all about.

Well, it's about the life of a man who was falsely accused. That's what it's

about. John Maddalena was convicted of murder in a court of law.

If the NSA has evidence of his innocence, I'll consider it. Otherwise,

sentence will be carried out. Good day to you. Sir, sir.

Johnny, the murderer, it's a guy named Tyler Langford.

Mr.

Parker, not only do you waste my time, but you slander a very respected member

of this community and my son -in -law.

Rest assured that my lawyers will be talking with your superiors.

Now, will you be leaving on your own, or shall I have security assist you?

I think I can find my way out.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah.

Scooter, it's Parker.

I need your help. Keep it quiet.

Get me a copy of the ATM security tape back in New Orleans the night of April

2nd, 1997.

Why would I want to do that? Because I doubt you want Thomas to know about the

Austrian lesbians you've been spending so much time with.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, I see your point.

You anoint my head with oil.

My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me.

all the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.

May the Lord forgive you and take you into his kingdom.

Something wrong?

Where's Frank Parker?

Yeah.

Wait. Stop the execution.

Stop the execution.

You better start explaining.

Frank Parker, NSA.

Federal stay of execution has been authorized for this prisoner. Both state

federal authorities will be contacting you momentarily.

Yes?

Stop the execution.

Who is this guy?

All I know is that he's in S .A.

And he found a way to delay the execution.

It's only delayed.

That's right. How long?

24 hours.

24 hours?

The great and powerful spear Shaka Zu frees an innocent man for 24 hours? We

another day to exonerate him, Lucy.

What kind of watered -down spirit are you?

I should have known something was wrong when I saw how pinkish you were.

By tomorrow night, everything's going to be back to normal.

Madeline will be dead and we'll be done with it.

Don't yell at me.

You talk to your father -in -law if you want to find out what the hell's going

on.

Do you think it will last for eternity, not 24 hours?

What, am I being punished?

Yes, of course. Why else would the spirits burden me with such a peaked,

diluted, half -assed conjuration?

Let's stop the name -calling right now. Do you have any idea what I've been

through just to get this far?

Of course I do.

I'm the one who summoned you.

Maybe I just had summoned you.

Okay, okay, okay.

So maybe you're not the full -fledged incarnation, but maybe that's not your

fault. Maybe it's my fault, okay? You know, for my laziness, for not

more good juju. Listen,

we're still both children of magic. Okay, maybe we're weak apart,

but together, together, we can be stronger than a hurricane.

Stronger than...

Two thumping tornadoes. Lucy, enough. Stop.

Okay?

I'm not a spirit.

I'm not even a child of magic. I'm just a guy. A regular person.

One with a lot of work to do. I'm sorry.

You must, you humble spirit.

But now is not the time for humility.

Now is the time to right a horrible wrong.

Now is the time to free a good, fine... Innocent man.

I know. That's what I'm trying to do.

Chaka.

Mr. Parker, please.

Please. Don't walk away from me now. Please. Please.

Please.

I have powers. I have powers. I can help you.

You know this area down here pretty well, don't you?

Oh, hell yes. I've been here most of my life. All of my life. I've seen these

people in this zoo.

Yeah. Okay.

Oh, no.

Does it mean you and me are going to be partners?

Yeah, Lucy.

Partners.

Wow! Can you imagine?

The great spirit is going to welcome Miss Lucy.

Whoa, whoa. We'll be the real dream team. You know that? You know that?

Yeah, that won't be nothing if we can't do, right?

Absolutely. Okay, I hope so.

I'm going to need more money.

That's all there is to it.

This isn't the time to need demands, Lieutenant.

That's probably what you said to your lady friend a long time ago, wasn't it?

There are things going on here, weird things, that weren't part of the

deal.

So, I'm supposed to increase my payment to you to not only keep you from

implicating yourself, but me as well?

Seems to me you're not in a fine position to suddenly set different

You're going to give me more money.

We're like that voodoo bitch, Doctor.

I'm going to send you somewhere you're not going to want to go.

Have you lost your mind?

Let me remind you, Lieutenant.

We both have a lot to lose if you don't keep your head.

What was that all about?

Nothing important, my dear.

Hasn't been an old friend having a nervous breakdown, poor man.

Tyler, what did you mean?

You've both got a lot to lose if he doesn't keep his head.

Oh, it's a business venture. We're involved in real estate.

Nothing for you to concern yourself with.

Yeah, I can take the secrets you keep from me.

And the occasional effects. Sarah, please.

Now you are my pretty flower.

Show me for breakfast.

We've had enough nonsense for one morning.

Lucy, if you're going to be my partner, you've got to do what I say.

Okay?

Lucy, did you hear me?

A chicken bone.

Never pass a good chicken bone.

Lots of good voodoo come off of them.

And they can answer all kinds of questions. That's very good, but we've

than 12 hours to prove that Tyler Langford is a real killer.

How do you know Tyler Langford's a killer?

Shackazoo, remember?

Oh, well, I can't say I'm surprised.

That Tyler Langford's one mean son of a bitch.

That may be true, but I don't think he's capable of framing Johnny all by

himself. He's had help.

Maybe that policeman.

What policeman?

Earl J.

Ruberdu. Ruberdu?

Yeah. He's the one that arrested Johnny. He's the one that's in prison last

night. He's the one slaughtering at the mouth to see Johnny die.

You know where he lives?

No. He's not in the phone book either.

I was going to bad juju his house the other night.

But don't you worry. I will find his address. I just have to get to my house

first.

Yeah, see what else you can find out about him. Financial, criminal,

psychological, the whole bit.

Got it.

I should hear about the tape in any minute. Call me back.

Is that a spirit you're talking to?

Yeah, a powerful one. The NSA.

NSA?

Never heard of that spirit.

Lucky you.

Now, here.

Here, come.

What's this?

Magic powder.

Now, you just keep throwing pinches of it on the flames while I'm connecting

with the spirits, okay?

Okay.

Cool.

Shut up.

Sorry. Spirits!

Yeah. Bad news on the tape. It went missing four years ago, but I got an

on the guy. You got a pen?

I got it.

All right, shoot.

It's 2124 Curson Street.

2124 Curson.

Yeah, another interesting thing about this guy, he's a hell of a lot richer

any cop should be. For the last four years, he's been getting significant

monthly payments from a real estate company owned by a guy named Tyler

Perfect.

Definitely our man.

Love your work, Lucy.

Huh?

Big fan of your work.

He's evil.

He's a bad man.

Shh.

What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with me? What's the matter with you?

You can't be coming to a wife's nest without cleansing it for you. Cleanse

quieter, okay?

And go shut the door.

Jugga, what you looking for?

I don't know. Maybe a bad man's secret.

Something. Not quite sure what.

No, no.

Put it down.

Come on.

What the hell are you doing in here?

Shaka -zoo!

Shaka -zoo!

Shut up!

Shaka -zoo! Shut up, witch!

Shaka -zoo!

Shut up! Pull on her head! Lucy, Lucy, enough.

Enough. Oh, please, Shaka.

You looking for this?

This will do.

Now, I was just going to shoot you both.

Then I realized, if I did...

I'd be haunted for the rest of my days.

So instead, I'm just going to leave you here to rot with the rest of your

ungodly spirit.

Now get in.

Get in!

Shockers do this.

I think I like you better than that.

I'm just kidding.

Ouch! Sorry.

Okay.

You okay?

All right. We got just two hours to save Johnny.

That ain't gonna work.

Give me that.

This is powder nitroglycerin.

No, no, this magic power used to reach the spirits.

Yeah, it's used to blow things up. That's what it's used for.

How much of that stuff you got?

Holy... I'm walking around with a time bomb all day.

Hand that stuff over.

Okay.

But you know that's not how the ritual is done.

Yeah, well, it is now.

Let me help you here.

Ma 'am. Thank you. Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

I go over here.

How did you get this?

You'd be amazed at the access public servants possess.

Now, if I give you this tape, then there's no more evidence that you killed

girl. And in return, you give me a substantial bonus payment.

I believe we can come to an arrangement.

Lieutenant?

I need more of that powder.

You used to oil in the cemetery.

That's right.

It's not much, but I do the trick.

Yeah, okay.

Come on.

No

installments.

I want one lump sum right away.

I'm going to get him out of here.

No more NSA agents or voodoo witches for me.

You'll never see me again.

Well, then let me say goodbye.

Mr.

NSA agent.

What a surprise.

Okay, Lucy, everything's cool.

It's spelled wood.

Yeah, maybe I really am Shaka Zoo here.

No, I don't want this. I need to make sure that Tyler doesn't leave, okay? I

need to take this to the governor.

Oh, how much more time?

Fifteen minutes until the execution. I gotta go.

No, no, that one's dead. Him.

Oh, okay.

My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.

Madam.

Now you and I both know you're not going to fire that gun.

So I'm going to get up.

I'm going to walk out of here.

And no one's going to get hurt.

Can't attempt to spirit.

Too bad your friend is already on the verge of being executed.

Now I'll have to find someone else to pin you into at home.

My darling, thank God.

Think I'm deaf?

You did murder that girl four years ago. You're about to murder this woman.

Like your spirits.

on, Johnny.

Juju is coming.

Okay.

Okay.

It ain't gonna work.

This bell needs two.

Maybe I can help.

You? Some little southern bell -dadded girl?

I'd like to be that.

Yeah, there's two of us.

Tell me what to do.

Oh, Miss Sarah.

The spirits are gonna love you.

Just feeling alive.

That's from your good juju Lucy.

Look, I know it's late, but I really need to talk to the governor

Sir, I apologize for the intrusion, but this time I got the proof.

Another videotape?

Governor, please. A man's life is at stake here.

We may already be too late.

I think it worked.

Better be good, Parker.

Deep down, I always knew that son of a bitch was no good.

Hello? Yes, Warden. Governor Paulson here.

I need to speak to Johnny Maddalena.

Yes, sir. Just a moment.

Mr. Maddalena?

For you.

Hello?

Yes, Mr.

Maddalena, this is Governor Paulson.

I, uh... Well, nothing I can say can make up for everything you've had to

in the last four years, but I hope you'll accept my apology in the form of

full pardon.

Thank you for saying the word.

You're a true, true man.

Lucy! Oh, there you are!

Oh, Neil.

Thank you. Thank you. You free man.

Hey.

What, nothing for the guy who spent two years with your miserable ass in SEAL

camp?

Frank.

Takes the state of my life, huh?

Guys, guys, guys.

This is Sarah. Sarah, this is Joanie. And this is Shaka Zoo. She is very

powerful. Not as powerful as you, though.

Thank you so much for saving my life.

You're welcome.

How about that electrical storm that knocked out the power last night?

Weird stuff.

The spears from the sky are a powerful thing, Shaka Zoo.

Spears from the sky, huh?

This bird knows this guy.

Masterson's plane.

Oh, excuse me.

Good afternoon, sir.

Yes, Frank?

Yeah, Bradley, listen. The vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs is going to fly in

the all -marine air show in Pensacola. He's going to turn himself into a baked

potato. That's it.

This whole time, and that was all you had to tell us.

I could have warned you not to buy stocks in Tyler Lankford's real estate

company. Who?

Frank, how's Johnny?

Yeah, he's good. You know, maybe you should come down here and join us. I was

thinking about taking some down time and hanging out anyway.

If that's okay with you, sir.

Oh, I'd take all the down time I could if I were you, Frank.

Because the next time I see you, I'm going to kill you.

And after that, I'm going to kill you again.

And again.

Everything okay, Frank?

Couldn't be better, Johnny.

Couldn't be better. Let's get a beer, huh?

Yeah.

You know, you might need one of those protection straws after all, Lucy.
