Tell the crew.

Chopper 1 to headquarters.

Chopper 1 fo headquarters. We got a sailboat on a collision course...

Where's & al, chopper 17 =just off staten island.

It was almost run down by the ferry.

We can't raise anyone on board.

Okay, chopper 1. Wel send out a patrol boat.

- That must be it, bill. - Okay. We'll take a look at her.

Chopper 1 to headquarters.

The harbor patrol's coming alongside the sailboat now.

Ahoy there! This is the harbor patrol.

Anyone on board?

Hey, sarge, that boat's abandoned.

=at

the only question is, why?

Hey, if she is, Marty,

we stand fo make a nice little bonus when we bring her in.

Yeah. Let's get over there and check.

Chopper 1 fo headquarters. Chopper 1 to headquarters.

This is headguarters. Come in, chopper 1.

The harbor patrol is about to board now. Still no sign of life.

Skipper of that craft must be a real Turkey.

Hey, watch out for the sail!

Huh? What?

What the hell's going on

I'm sorry. He winch is broken.

I'll fix the sail.

You go below and look around. Okay.

Don't move.

Stay where you are, mister. Throw your hands on the deck there.

I oid you not to move!

I mean it

one more step, and I'm gonna blast you. Now, freeze where you are.

Don't move, I said.

Yeah. Yeah. Where did they find this abandoned boat?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll put someone on it. The boys in blue been there yet?

Thanks for the information. You're a sweetheart.

Get west in here.

- I didn't see-hello, jef. - Peter, the chief wants you.

Right. Thanks. See ya. “Uh-huh. Okay.

What can I do for you, chief'? =sit down.

Are now, limey'? Oh tha ee a

get over to... what did she say'? Ah.

Pier 15. There's a story there.

Hmm. Boat without anyone on it. Cop killed.

Poke around a bit. See what you can find. You know.

Okay. I'll let you know.

Uh, west.

Keep the British out of your prose, huh?

Don't take advantage of the fact your uncle bought the paper.

At if I would.

The harbor patrol launch is leaving now.

All right, folks, there's nothing to see.

It's down fo the chief medical examiner's office for the autopsy.

Lady, step back, will you, please?

All right, back, back! You there, back over there.

Come on! Back through the gate. There's nothing to see.

Well, miss bowles, we re waiting.

Yes. It's my father's boat.

Where's your father now'?

I don't know. Actually, I was hoping you could tell me.

I he vent hearc from him in over a month.

I see.

And how long since you last spoke to him?

When he set sail for the antilles to join some friends.

The antilles?

Will someone please tell me what the hell's going on?

Man hiding on his boat-which was adrift killed a member of the coast guard.

Yeah, but... my father, where is he?

I mean, what's happened to him?

That's just what we'd like to know, miss bowles.

Sorry to get you down here at this hour.

I really can't understand why they're in such a hurry.

The d.A.'S office phoned twice before you arrived, doc.

Well, let's get it over with. = - jac I

have you... have you already examined him?

Yeah. I made one or two notes.

In my opinion,

the death of the poor bastard was caused by a massive hemorrhage...

Due fo a huge laceration of the jugular.

Hmm.

Do you have a hypothesis for the cause of this injury?

To me it's quite obvious what caused it.

There appear fo be clear indications of one or more bites.

Pass me the scalpel.

I wouldn't be able fo cut my way through tissue paper with that,

let alone cairy out an autopsy.

Take better care of your instruments, James.

Yes, doctor.

Onl hm me I don't scream. Don't scream.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

My name is Peter vest, and I'm a reporter.

I'm gonna take my hand away, and you're not gonna scream, okay?

Mm-hmm. Okay.

I'm sorry if I frightened you.

But if I hadn't done that, you'd have screamed for sure,

and our friend up there would have been onto both of us.

Who are you, and what are you doing on my father's boat?

I've already toid you. My name's west, and I'm a reporter.

I've been following you all afternoon.

Well, the police version doesn't convince me,

and I guess it doesn't convince you either.

Otherwise you wouldn't be here.

What, uh... what were you looking for?

You've got a hell of a nerve, you know that?

You're not so bad yourself.

Tna bode.

I've got some information. You've got some information.

So why don't we just throw it together and see what we can come up with?

'Cause I think I've already found what you're looking for.

What do we do now?

Well, I've got an idea, but, uh, I'm gonna need your help.

Unless, of course, you want to be explaining fo some judge...

What you were doing on board your father's boat in the middie of the night.

Now, just do what I tell you, okay'?

“Okay. Good. Come on.

Oh.

Don't give me the same oid story.

- Well, actually, officer, uh- - Same old story, huh?

This is all your fault. You realize that, don't you?

Well, listen to her, miss goody two-shoes.

It wasn't her fault. It was all my idea.

Well, whose idea was it fo have a romantic setting down by the water?

I'd have settied for an empty boxcar.

Oh, no. Never again. Not another boxcar.

Yeah, well, she takes after her mother. They're both bananas.

You leave my mother out of this!

- She's crazy, and you know it. - Enough of this.

- Both of you, get out of here. - Okay, officer. Okay. Anything you say.

Come on, sweetie pie.

300d I ght, of cer.

Yeah. Out of my sight.

“10 my daughter Anne, in case anything should happen to me.

Due to my morbid curiosity, I have managed to contract a strange disease,

and they're taking care of me as if I were some sort of Guinea pig.

But I know I'll never leave this island again, at least not alive.

I haven't been a good father, but I have always loved you. One last kiss from dad.”

Matool. And it's dated 15 September.

Listen, chief. You know,

I'm sure there's some connection that ties this all together.

The boat and the guy that got killed as well.

Yeah, well, it's her idea fo go.

Okay, chief, fine.

Oh, yeah, and, chief, you'll, um-you'll fix the tickets, okay?

Thanks. You're beautiful.

I think it's three hours. =yeah.

If it's on schedule, we should arrive in St. Thomas-

Do you wanna check on the boat first or shall we go straight to the hotel?

I don't know. Whatever you think.

Sefior, do you know anyone who can rent us a boat?

I'm sorry. Not easy here to find boat.

Vyve want to go to matool. It's very important.

Just now I remember something, sefior.

This moming, a friend of mine, he say...

That's his boat.

Maybe they take you. You ask.

- Ine. - (Gracias.

Thanks.

Pedro not help you good, sefior?

Oh, sure. Yes.

Extra water. Store it in the galley.

Aye, aye, sir.

Ahoy there.

Hi

- Hl yourself. - Hi. How you doing?

Susan Barrett.

You wouldn't be looking for a boat ride?

Ye would. We hear you're going on a tour of the islands.

Yeah, a little cruise. I'wo months of fishing, bathing and sunshine.

Well, we have fo go to matooi.

We're trying to locate Anne's father.

She ha n't hearc from h im for I ome time.

That's not a cool piace to head.

Natives claim it's cursed. They avoid it like the plague.

We have to go there all the same.

And you want a ride from us.

Uh-huh.

Okay, Peter.

We'll have fo load more supplies. You pay your share.

- Deal? - A deal.

Step on board. Here.

Look, I'll warn you right now.

Don't expect us to come sightseeing once we get there.

I found it never pays to ignore native superstitions.

This is matool, calling guadalypa 1.

This is Dr. menard calling guadalypa 7.

Come in, guadalupa 17.

Still no luck?

No. I=

I'm afraid it's useless to go on trying.

Then we're cut off from the rest of the world.

Well, not hardly.

I want fo leave this damn isiand, right now.

Well, you can't right now.

The radio isn't working.

How convenient for you.

I wouldn't be surprised if you broke it on purpose.

You're tired.

Go I le I!

Yaw David.

- Are you going out? - I have to go to the hospital.

Have they found another one?

They have, haven't they?

- Tell the truth. - Now, calm down.

Where did they find it this time

you really mustn't drink $0 much, my darling.

I asked you a question.

They're on the other side of the island.

When will they reach this side'? Tell me.

Now I really think you ought fo rest. We'll talk about it later.

'There's really no need to agitate yourself so much.

I hate you.

No.

You don't know what you're saying.

Oh, you'd like fo be able fo pass me off as crazy.

Apart from-from a handful of superstitious natives,

I'm the only one who knows what you're doing.

And don't think I'm going to keep my mouth shut.

I'm going to tell everyone...

That you're the one who's crazy,

Hospital.

You still see yourself as the scientist you once were, don't you?

Well, you're-you're not.

You're no better than one of their witch doctors.

My research is... research!

You call fooling around with superstitions and voodoo rites research?

You know perfectly well that the work I'm doing is very important.

- And I wouldn't be here if it wasn't - I don't give a damn!

I don't want to stay on this island one more hour.

Yet you won't be happy until I meet one of your zombies.

Now, I ook,

as soon as I've understood the phenomenon, we'll leave.

I don't believe you.

Miguel.

Miguel.

- Si, sefior? - I have to go to the hospital.

So make sure nobody comes near the house, all right?

Sj, sefior. Miguel guard. Doctor no worry.

- Nobody. - S/, sefior.

- Wwe sure were lucky fo find you two. - You can say that.

We're sure not having the same kind of luck trying to find your island for you.

We should be somewhere around here, right?

More or less, yeah.

Fnp I - - yf ore are fo sand

so many islands around here, that a lot have never even been charted.

Like the last couple we saw. Heyre not on any chart. It's all hit-and-miss.

- ¥ve could spend a month out here. - Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

- You don't want to go back, do you? - No, no, no.

No, we'll find matool. That's a promise.

Rey, now, look, don't go counting on us forever.

Don't forget. We're on vacation.

Everybody go. What do we do?

Huh?

Talk about it outside.

Well, what happened? =I don't know.

Here in village is great trouble and commotion.

It's the juju man. The new one.

He's speaking plenty. He seem fo be possessed by all the devils in hell.

How ridiculous.

Jocic r, tr 3 nath - I 'e plain crazy.

They run all over village.

They pick up their possessions. They disappear.

They're making voodoo, I think. Voodoo.

It's not that. I don't believe in voodoo.

No, I don't believe in voodoo either, but the natives around here do, so...

I've seen them, and you've seen them.

Now Matthias, he's one of them, is he

yeah. Huh.

Well, we have to help him. We have fo try to help him.

So we go fo the hospital. Come on.

The driveshait"s cracked. It must have been the shark when he hit us.

- Is it serious? - Well, we have two possibilities.

Either we go ashore and walk around until we come to the local repair shop, or-

or?

And hope that somebody will come and help us.

We'll have a tough time making it to the next island...

Poor Matthias.

Let's go.

I met your father about three years ago...

When he fir: It ce me out to the: E I ical iu 1

When he...

Hecame a victim of the di > c1 bd

ne insisted upon staying, in spite of everything I said to him.

I insisted that he should leave, but he wouldn't.

He felt that he could, in some way, become a Guinea pig.

That he could help in discovering

what was causing the horrors that were destroying our island...

Transforming it into a wasteland of terror.

I remember the day when my assistant came fo tell me

doctor, your friend. Quickly.

finished.

I feel I'm about fo die. I had a good life.

But I never thought it would end this way.

But I've got two things to ask. Listen carefully.

They're very important, my friend.

I've written to my dear child.

And the letier, see that it gets to her.

I spent the day waiching over his body.

But I knew that eventually I would have fo find the courage fo release him.

The boat can leave now.

Tell the crew.

Wen

What exactly did my father die of, Dr. menard?

And the boat's crew'? What happened to them?

Yes, doctor.

What is all this about the dead coming back to life again

and having to be killed a second time

I mean, what the hell's going on here?

Voodoo?

Doctor, you got to be joking. That's kid's stuff.

I mean, voodoo is just piain superstitious horseshit.

Basically, it's a mixture of two religions.

One-catholicism, brought here by the Spanish conquistadores...

And two-African fribal rites that were brought here by the slave trade.

Well, whatever it is, it makes the dead stand up and walk.

I've seen it with my own eyes.

That's impossible.

I know it's impossible!

It's happening. I've seen it.

'The natives say it's... Something to do with voodoo.

Some evil witch doctor who creates these zombies.

But I'm sure there's a natural explanation.

- Well, is there anything that we can do? - No, no. Thank you.

Uh, well-well, yes.

My wiie's alone at the-at the cottage.

We've only got our manservant to look after her.

And I'd be very grateful if you'd call on her.

It's only seven or eight miles up the trail. You can't miss it.

Well, I'll see you later.

Doctor, I thought it was more advisable to bring him here.

You did rignt.

and sail for the nearest place where we know there's a shipyard.

- After we've seen the doctor's wife. - Look, Peter. Is that it?

Nice layout.

Ah, the doctor's doing all right by the look of it.

Yeah, but there's something fishy about him.

Yes, you are rignt, doctor. You know many more things than Lucas.

I don't believe that voodoo can bring the dead back to life.

That the dead be dead.

No, it's no good. I can't go any further.

I gotta rest up for a bit.

Okay, Peter. We'll take a quick five here.

We've got to be close fo that damn hospital now.

Look, why don't you two rest here, and we'll take a look up ahead, right?

Hey, how about this?

What is it? =I['S a helmet.

It must be all of 400 years oid.

This must have been a cemetery for the Spanish conquistadores.

I'm sorry I dragged you into all this.

It's my father we came looking for, isn't it?

You know, when we get back to New York-

It's just...

One of the fishermen said he'd seen his wife walking in the village at night.

Only she'd been dead for two days.
