All language subtitles for Hard To Die 1990 DVDRip x264

Bye.

I washed my car and I just heard on the
radio it's going to rain tonight.

Well, that's quite an outfit you're
wearing.

Kmart? I thought since we're going to do
inventory. I know, I felt the same way.

I mean, why dress up?

You look terrific.

Come on.

God, I hate working on Saturdays. Oh, it
won't take us that long.

God, get a load of the guy in the ice
cream suit.

What a dog.

Thank God. So tired, Nicole.

Out late again?

God, don't ask. Okay.

I'm not kidding, Shane. This area is
like a war zone.

I mean, drug dealers, gang fights.

Well, next time I'll tell the temp
service to send us to Beverly Hills,

Hi, I'm Dawn Grant.

Shane Harvey.

Jackie Webster.

This is Ted Cochran.

Hi. Hi. You from the temp service?

Right. You just got here?

Mm -hmm. Look, the sooner we get
started, the sooner we get out of here.

Boy, I'm glad Mr. Plimpton hired you two
for the day. Last year, Tess and I had

to do inventory alone, and we didn't get
out till 3 a .m. Well, this time I'm

not staying past 7.

I've been trying to get an agent for
over the past six months, and tonight

got a date with Walter Paisley.

Who?

Only the biggest agent in town, that's
all.

Is this thing working or what?

Oh, you frightened us.

Are you going up?

Who the hell was that?

That's Orville Ketchum.

He's the janitor.

Orville Ketchum?

You know him?

I'm trying to remember.

Hola, babes.

Yes?

Oh, yeah, I got a package here for 11
.29.

Can one of you sign for it?

Who's it for?

Well, who do you work for?

Acme Lingerie.

That'll do it.

Here you go.

You have a pen?

Yeah. I've been looking for that all
day.

Yeah, 18, that's good. And put your home
number down there, too.

My home phone number?

Yeah, it's a new company policy.

Yeah, right.

Okay, there you go. You're all set.

So?

So, yeah, you guys have a good time
today, okay? I'll see you.

Idiot.

Now I remember.

Orville Ketchum's the guy that was
involved in that sorority house massacre

few months ago.

I heard he tried to rescue those girls.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's got to be the same guy. How
many Orville Ketchums can there be? That

guy's a certified grade -A psycho.

these guys what you told me about what
happened that night at the hockstader

house five girls were murdered in that
house and he was in on it

that's not true is it awful

it's

not something i like to talk about

Well, what happened?

You won't believe it.

Try us.

It's been almost a year now since it
happened.

The house was vacant for I don't know
how long.

Then these five girls bought it.

They didn't know how evil it really was.

First the house mother got it.

Hockstetter hid beneath the throw rug on
cleaning day.

He was funny that way.

He got rid

of her, Spick, and Span.

Then he went out. to the girls.

They were plenty scared.

Fran depressed her chest up against the
door, but it wasn't big enough to stop

him.

Then old Hockstetter made his move.

He faked right, then went right up

the middle.

The girls never knew what hit them.

They thought they got them, but they
were wrong.

Dead wrong.

And then it went after Marianne.

Too bad she couldn't drive.

Never should have honked that horn.

But he swore his spirit would never die.

The house was destroyed finally.

There's nothing there now but a vacant
lot.

Oh, God.

You actually expect us to believe that
Hochstetter's spirit was responsible for

what happened?

I believe it.

believe what you want hey

that's bullshit I mean

just because some guy went nuts in an
old place

Take a Valium or something.

So where's Plimpton? I want to get out
of here as soon as possible.

Oh, he's here. Or the door to his office
wouldn't be closed.

So let's rest him.

No way. When that door's closed, he
doesn't want to be disturbed.

We have to wait around anyway. There's
supposed to be someone else coming to

help.

Hey, look.

This isn't even for us.

It's addressed to 1129 Spring Street.

Isn't this Spring Place?

Who cares? What the hell is that asshole
doing in there anyway?

Why don't you pick out the one you like
best?

I thought you said I could keep them
all.

Don't get greedy.

You know what I wish?

I wish just once I'd go to an interview
and actually have it be an interview.

What are you beefing about? You got the
job, didn't you?

You should know I'm no whiz when it
comes to computers, Mr. Plimpton. No big

deal. One of the girls can show you the
ropes.

How's your typing?

Well, if you're not too worried about
accuracy, 14 words a minute.

Shorthand? Forget it. That's like trying
to learn a foreign language, and I was

never any good at that either.

Well, what are you good at?

Overtime.

and I work at Acme Lingerie, and I just
got a package that was supposed to go to

you. Oh?

It was delivered by mistake.

We have the same address, only we're on
Spring Place.

First time that's happened, well, I tell
you, I'll have them call the service

and have them pick it up.

What did you say your name was?

Dawn Grant.

I'm on the eighth floor, Acme Lingerie.

Oh, thanks for calling, Miss Grant. I'll
take care of it.

Okay, bye.

I'll make some coffee. That's a great
idea.

We have decaf? Yeah.

Good morning, girls.

Ready to go to work? We've been ready
for almost an hour. Good, good. Glad to

hear that.

Introduce.

Yeah, this is... Diana.

Diana Farling.

Farrow. Whatever. She just joined our
team today, so this is Dawn, and, well,

you can all introduce yourselves later.

You've got a lot of work to do today,
so...

You'd better get going. All of last
year's receipts are boxed in the

downstairs. If there are any questions,
ask Dawn. She knows the ropes, and I'll

be checking on you all later, so be
good.

But, Mr. Plimpton, I have to be out of
here by seven tonight.

Good luck.

Maybe you should call that agent. Tell
him you can't make it tonight.

I'd sooner slit my throat.

Break out of the lower.

Accept this sacrifice from your humble
servant.

It appears that the witch doctors of the
Shaylock tribe use both human and

animal blood in order to increase their
power.

Furthermore... Yes, Helga?

It is the messenger service again, Dr.
Newton.

Yes?

Yeah, Dr. Newton. Larry Bronkowski down
in Chipping.

According to my records, we did not have
a delivery to the address that you

mentioned. Are you sure?

Positive, sir.

It's not listed in here.

Listen, it's probably one of the other
messenger services.

Perhaps.

Look, Doc, I'm sorry I couldn't help you
out. That package sounds like it's

pretty important.

What's inside, anyway?

Well, actually, I don't know.

You know, these things are like death
traps.

We should have taken the stairs.

Eight floors?

Don't worry. It sounded like this ever
since I've been here, and I've been here

four years.

Still got to die.

I don't think we should have taken the
stairs. Well, you can take them on the

way back up.

Careful.

The floor is wet.

Orville, we need to get into the
basement.

Well, in that case, you girls are going
to be needing it.

The elevator doesn't go down there. We
have to take the stairs.

That ought to make you happy.

Don't forget that we have to go.

We're here. We're here.

Oh, my God.

So this is why we have to work?

We'll go blind just trying to read the
labels.

Well, the faster we work, the faster
we'll be out of here.

I guess the first thing to do is find
all the boxes marked Acme.

Well, let's get started.

Here's one.

How about giving me a hand with this?

Ever think about what would happen if
there was an earthquake right now?

Not really.

They wouldn't find our bodies for
months.

They'd definitely find mine.

This is good exercise.

I can think of a lot better ways to get
exercise.

A lot cleaner, too.

Yeah, it is pretty dusty down here. It's
pretty dusty. It's worse than a

sandstorm.

Sounds like rain.

And the whole day's gone by and we've
been stuck down here in this basement.

And I've got enough dust in my lungs to
fill a vacuum cleaner.

I've got an idea.

Why don't we count the rest of this
stuff upstairs and do the inventory in

office? That's a lot of extra work.

It'll be worth it to get out of this
hellhole. I'm for it. Me too.

Sounds good.

Someone give me a hand with this.

At least the records are okay.

What about my dress?

I can't go see an agent looking like
this.

It's only water for Christ's sake.

Come on, let's get the rest of the boxes
upstairs and see if we can't find some

towels.

Hi, this is Tess.

Don't tell me you can't make it tonight.

Don't tell me that.

No, no, I just need to push it back a
few hours, that's all.

Tess, babe, you're breaking my heart.

Well, I thought if maybe you weren't
doing anything a little later on.

Honey, who is it?

Relax, will you? There's a pitcher of
chichis out by the hot tub. Why don't

go set us up a couple?

Listen, Tess, it's okay, it's okay.
Something real important just came up.

Well, what about tomorrow?

Look, I got your number. Tell you what,
I'll give you a call.

Yeah, sure.

Bye.

Shit.

I guess it didn't go so well.

Another opportunity down the toilet.

Walter Paisley isn't the only game in
town.

No, but his was the only game I was
invited to.

Hey, what...

Huh? Look.

Hey guys, look at this.

What is it?

It looks like a jewelry box or
something.

The design looks Egyptian.

I can't get it open.

Here, let me try.

I think it's one of those monkey puzzle
boxes.

Yeah, I thought so. See, it's got these
slats. You have to push them in the

right order.

Oh, I get it. Hey, this girl's a genius.

No, my little brother had one of these
boxes once. It was oriental. See, once

these flaps are in position, they should
open.

What the

hell

was that? I don't know.

It felt like a hurricane.

What about that sound?

You ever hear anything like that in your
life?

It was that thing that was supposed to
go to the museum.

As far as I'm concerned, the museum can
have it.

Scared the shit out of me.

You and me both.

Let's just put this thing back.

Sounds like it's really coming down.

Let's change the subject a minute. Is
anybody hungry besides me?

I was.

Well, I am.

Mr. Plimpton said there was some food in
his refrigerator.

It probably would have been good if we
had gotten it a year ago when it was

fresh. Now what?

Let's order pizza.

Good idea.

What do you guys want on it?

I'm sick of pizza.

Well, how about Chinese, then?

That's all right.

Let me tell you what I would like.

Nice, hot shower.

You're not going to use Mr. Plimpton's
shower, are you?

You're darn right.

After all that's happened, he owes me.

Yeah, I could go for that.

First dip.

I'm not.

Next after me.

It's about time.

Don't use all the hot water.

I'll use all the hot water I want.

Hey, Don.

Look at this.

Looks like Clinton's been holding out on
us.

Hey, this is one of their designs for
the fall lineup. This wasn't supposed to

be out for another month.

What do you think?

It's definitely you.

And it's clean, and if you ladies excuse
me, I'll be right back.

There's enough of them in here for an
army.

Good. There's no use washing them,
putting dirty clothes back on.

Where are you going?

I might as well do some work.

I'll go bring up the boxes. We've got
all the heavy stuff.

Okay.

Hello, Acme Lingerie.

May I speak to Dawn, please?

This is she.

Oh, this is Dr. Newton over at the
museum.

Oh, Dr. Newton, I'm glad you called.

We opened your package by mistake.

You wouldn't believe what happened.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm going to go down and get the rest of
the boxes.

Well, let me help you.

Well, thank you.

He didn't mean to scare you.

Guess I've been in here long enough,
huh?

Enjoy.

Roger's on the left.

I hope we don't run into that goon down
here.

Who are you talking about?

That janitor.

in a skiing accident a little over a
year ago.

My back's been a little funny ever
since.

You go ahead.

I'll catch up with you. Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay. Just don't try and lift anything
else, all right?

Don't worry. I'm no hero.

God, what else could happen?

Ta -da!

Not bad, huh?

You look like shit.

Boobs are hanging out, your hair's too
red.

You just plain ugly.

Will you guys keep it down?

Yeah, the design on the box looks
Egyptian to me.

Although, what do I know?

Egyptian, you say?

Well, there's no writing or anything.
Just little patterns.

Well, can you describe them?

Well, to tell you the truth, they look a
little strange.

Like there's a row of bald -headed
soldiers marching into a fiery opening.

And there was no return address on the
package?

None.

No note or anything inside?

No.

Hmm. Now, Dawn, listen.

And listen very carefully.

I want you and the others to... Hello?

Dr. Newton?

Dawn?

Dawn?

He hung up.

How rude.

You want a beer?

No, thanks.

John's dead.

Good thing we ordered the food in time.
Speaking of that, the guy should be here

pretty soon.

One of us has to go to the lobby and
wait for him.

I'll go.

Stay here and take your shower. I'll do
it.

How many more?

Four or five. Where are you going?

To wait for the egg rolls.

Well, just don't eat them all on the way
back up, okay?

No hummuses.

See if you can find me one to match
these.

Oh, you bet.

Maybe I should call him back.

Who, Fig Newton?

I thought you said the line was dead.

One of the others ought to work.

This one's dead, too.

an answer. I was out of breath.

Well, why are you trying to do this by
yourself anyways? I thought Tess was

supposed to help you.

But I think she threw it back out, and
so she's not going to be lifting

anything.

Well, let me help you with this one into
the elevator, at least.

Thanks.

Well, I might as well go get some rest.

I'd help you, but I'm waiting for the
food, guys.

No, it's fine. I'll get it.

One red nighty, as requested.

Throw it over.

Thanks.

My pleasure.

delivery anybody here I

hope

I get a good tip for this

Hey!

Anybody still working here?

Oh, great.

Nice joke, assholes.

It's gonna be charbroiled by the time it
gets here. Give him a couple more

minutes. I got more but one.

I'm gonna need some help with that.

Take a break, will you?

Any hot water left?

I think so.

Shower time.

Is this where they keep all the old
dinosaurs?

Well, Mike, you certainly didn't waste
any time getting here.

Can't complain, Ed.

Professor Edward Newton, my partner.

Phyllis Shawley. Hello.

Hello. Mike tells me you saved his life
once in Nam.

Well, don't hold that against me. I was
a lot younger at the time. Didn't know

what I was doing.

Have a seat. Do have a seat.

Well, what's so urgent?

Well, I... I don't know if you'd
consider it so urgent, but something I'd

like to ask you to do for me.

Name it.

Well, I'll tell you, tonight, if the two
of you could manage to get into that

building at 1129 Spring Place, you know,
I got a call from a girl there, Dawn

Grant, and all of a sudden the line went
dead.

It's probably just a storm.

Well, could be, but I'd really like to
know.

Hey, what's the matter?

That's where Ketchum works.

Who?

Orville Ketchum.

I'm positive that scum killed five girls
at the old Hockstetter place, but I

could never prove it.

Hockstetter? Clive Hockstetter?

Yeah. I've been chasing Ketchum ever
since.

You know, I knew Hockstetter when he was
alive.

What? Yes, and I'll tell you this. He
was the most diabolically evil

I ever encountered in my life.

Well, how'd you get mixed up with him?

Well, Miss Shawley, whereas I'm only an
academician of the supernatural, Huck

Detter regularly practiced the black
arts for his own perverted purposes.

My God, if that man has managed to
create one of those boxes... What boxes?

What the hell are you talking about?

A soul box, Mike. A legendary soul box.

What's that?

Well, Miss Shawley, one of the most
powerful, the most painful of occult

practices... It's the splitting of one
spirit.

Once the soul has been separated, the
severed part can be safely confined in

of these boxes.

And you think... That's correct.

He was on the verge of splitting his own
soul into three parts.

An unheard of practice.

You can't be serious.

Deadly serious, Miss Shawley. And if one
of those boxes is ever opened again...

The evil spirit can escape into the
world and inhabit anybody it pleases.

And you think this woman who called
somehow latched onto one of these boxes?

Absolutely, but I think it was a
mistake. I believe that that box was

meant for me.

Well, you know, as much as I like Oled,
you've got to take some of the theories

with a grain of salt. After all, he did
undergo 30 days of continuous shelling

at Quezon.

Kim, no way.

What do you mean, no way? I was there. I
ought to know, huh? If it hadn't been

for the old prof, I'd have bought the
farm.

My God, the horror.

That's right. And speaking of horror, I
think it's about time we take old

Ketchum out of the picture for good. The
chief told you to stay away from him. I

know. If he finds out. I know.

But if we happen to pass 1129 Spring on
the way back to the station.

That's right. Some things can't be
helped.

Hurry

up.

Come on.

Relax, will you? The food's not going to
get here any faster.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Let's go.

Tad?

She's probably waiting outside.

In the nightie?

Good point.

Shane.

You here?

She's not there.

Where'd they go?

We've probably crossed paths in the
elevator.

They're probably upstairs wondering
where we are.

Hey!

What's that?

Looks like blood.

out of here besides the front door?

There's a back way, but it'll be locked,
and it's too thick to burst through.

Hell, we could go out the front way if
we knew for sure where Arvel was.

Well, one of us could act as a decoy.

He's gonna kill us all.

No, he's not. Not if I have anything to
say about it.

Look, it's three against one. The odds
are in our favor.

Maybe I can increase those odds.

What do you mean?

Well, about a month ago, Mr. Plimpton
was working late.

Hard to believe.

Anyway, some guy broke in, scared the
shit out of him.

And the next day, he was talking about
buying a gun.

And I think he actually did.

You think?

Well, if he did, and if I could find
it... That's an awful lot of ifs. It's

worth a try.

Give me a hand.

Wait a minute. You said we flip a coin,
remember? Well, the coin's in my purse,

and my purse is upstairs now.

Come on.

If I run into Orville, I'll try to
scream loud enough to let you know, and

two can make a run for it.

Why don't I go with you?

Someone's got to look after her.

Jackie, I'm going to need some help with
this cabinet.

Jackie?

Oh, okay.

Okay.

You just have to let her go. Just let
her go.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

Got to check on Dawn.

Don't go.

I have to go.

No, you don't. We're safe here.

Well, what about Dawn?

We can't help her if she's dead.

No one's saying you have to go, Jackie.

I don't want to be alone.

Then go with me.

No.

Well, it's up to you.

Are you here?

She's afraid you're in trouble.

She was right. Damn it!

She'll be all right. He's dead. He can't
hurt her.

I don't know if I killed him. I mean, I
didn't stop to check his paws, for

Christ's sake.

Here.

I'll get you no matter whose body you're
in.

meeting like this, Andy?

Sure we can.

But it isn't right if Philippe ever
found out.

You make sure he doesn't, that's all.
And what about your wife?

What about my wife?

Yeah, what about me?

Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. For Christ's
sake, cut.

What's the matter with that, Kel? Yeah,
I thought we had a real moment there. Me

too. Look at your feet. How many times
have I told you to go to bed with your

shoes on?

When nobody goes to bed with spike heels
on, it's ridiculous.

Yeah, well, some people think they're
sexy.

It's stupid.

I agree.

I've never been to bed with a girl who
keeps her shoes on. Yeah, and I'll lay

you odds you've never been to bed with
two women at the same time either.

Neither have the slobs that rent these
movies. That's why we're making them.

We're trying to fulfill a fantasy.

And nobody has a fantasy about dirty
feet. And if they do, I don't want to

them. So if you don't mind, put on the
shoes so we can get out of this dump by

10 o 'clock, okay?

Settle. Okay, and... We

can't keep meeting like this.

Police, everybody freeze.

Cut! Oh, man.

Read them their rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

Don't you have anything better to do?

And if you give up that right, anything
you say can and will be used against

you.

Look, Block, what do you got against
Art?

This is nothing but pornography.

Look, lady, it's tough enough making a
picture these days without making

certain, shall we say, concessions to
public taste.

Hey, if it were up to me, I would...
You're breaking my heart.

You want me to cuff him?

Nah, not just yet.

Check in with headquarters.

I'll take care of this.

Lunch! Okay, walk away, walk away.

Miss Latour, hold on there. I'd like to
talk to you.

Get a good look, creep?

Give it a rest, will you?

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

If I like the answers, maybe I won't
have to spoil everybody's evening.

What do you want to know?

You used to work at 1129 Spring, didn't
you?

So?

What'd you do there?

I was in charge of payroll for Reese
Wheeler, the gun company.

Ever run into a character by the name of
Orville Ketchum?

What a creep.

He's one of the reasons I changed my
line of work.

Did he ever come on to you?

No, not in actions.

But I've known enough men to know it
goes on in his head.

Did he ever actually do anything to you
or anybody else you know of?

No, but I can tell you this.

Give him enough time and he will.

Okay.

Well, listen, do you think of anything
else?

This is my private line.

Ooh la la.

Thank you.

We're not making any arrests?

Nah, not enough room for them all. We'll
get them next time.

Where to now?

1129 Spring, right?

That's right.

Okay, but we're stopping to eat first.
I'm starving.

Donuts?

Donuts.

What if we stay here?

We're not safe anywhere in the building.
He's still alive, and I've got a gut

feeling that he is.

But Diana might be hurt.

She might be, but we'll all be a lot
better off if we can get the police

I don't want to go out there.

You think I do?

You think you're the only one who's
scared?

I can't even run anymore, but we've got
to get out of here, and you've got to

cut this bullshit and get with the
program, or you're going to be dead

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but we just
don't have the time.

Come on.

Ask about the front door again. You go
for the roof.

And if one of us screams, the other one
keeps going.

Agreed?

Agreed.

Get my clothes on and get the hell out
of here.

We will, we will.

You can't hurt us anymore.

Come on. You saved my life.

Where is that bastard?

He's right there.

Come on, I know we can find a
flashlight.

Everyone should have an earthquake tip.

Check into the desk.

Check this out.

What is this place?

I have no idea how this works, but I'm
sure glad it's here.

My dad used to be a Marine. I can
probably work it.

Needs a cliff.

So what's the plan?

When he comes through that door, I'm
going to blast him.

Not a whole lot of strategy involved,
but I like it.

I

don't

think he's going to make it.

Wouldn't count on it.

Gotta be dead now.

I'd wait a while.

You don't have to if you don't want to.

I want to. I want to.

Just get them.

I'll be happy to as soon as you put that
gun down.

I'll put the gun down when the police
get here.

To tell you the truth, I'm afraid to
turn my back on you.

I didn't do this.

Your gun was still smoking when I got in
here.

I killed Diana, but that was in self
-defense.

Who the hell's Diana?

The girl that you hired this afternoon.

We all thought that Orville was the
killer, and it was Diana all along.

Orville tried to save us.

You mean to tell me everybody's dead?

God, how could this have happened?

No,

I don't have to shoot you. I can rip
your arms out like I wanted to. First

place.

Any more?

There's another body in the elevator
shaft.

Geez.

Why don't you go up to the lobby and
wait for the coroner?

Right.

Let's check out the rest of the
building.

Want to take alternate floors?

Nah, we better stick together. That guy
Ketchum could still be around.

Well, at least this son of a bitch
finally got taken out.

Oh, thank God.

This one's still alive.

He saved my life.

What? You mean Ketchum wasn't
responsible for this?

It was her.

She went crazy.

She must be in shock. She doesn't know
what she's talking about.

I'm telling you, she was the one.

All I know is Ketchum isn't the one who
put you in this chair.

That woman was out of her mind. She
didn't even know who she was shooting

Thank you, Orville.

Thank you for saving my life.

It's a crazy game that we play, but it's
the way I want to be.

It's the right thing about a baby,
because I'm in there.

Who ain't gonna like that? At least not
a bit. Who ain't gonna like that? At

least not a bit. A woman won't expect
the way she brings her smile through her

face. The way she knows her place is
actually a fool.

And when she's at the right place,
there's no more time to hesitate.

Apologize for easy ways that you never
know.

The way that woman forgets.

I love you all the time you live.

So try to forgive the chickens.

It's a tree that begins to fade, but
it's the way I'm falling today.

Women are like that. Women are like

that.
