Music Arrives

on the island of Haiti, he's greeted with

a spectacle that's inspired by voodoo.

But this creates an impression that is very

far from reality.

The reality is that voodoo is a popular

religion practiced by thousands of Haitians.

It consists of special rituals and undoubtedly contains

some mysterious areas.

But the religion is not evil or dedicated

to black magic as people have been led

to believe.

The ceremonies of the voodoo cult, although strange

to an outsider, are meant to reflect and

praise the spirit of nature.

To honor the gods who rule these forces

and to protect man from his own weakness.

Music Susan,

hello.

So good to meet you.

Did you have a good trip?

Yes, it was excellent.

I'll drive you to the house.

Oh yes, Jack must be waiting for me.

Will you be able to get my luggage

through customs alright?

Oh yes, don't worry about a thing.

So, you finally arrived.

You must be excited to be here.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

You see, this is my dream come true.

I know I'll be happy here in Haiti.

This place is extraordinary.

It grows on you.

You won't be disappointed.

I guess my husband was too busy to

come himself.

As consul of the embassy, he can rarely

get away anytime during the day.

He must have warned you.

Yes, he did.

Is he very busy today?

He has a conference with a French diplomat,

but he said to tell you that he

would be home as soon as possible.

I can't tell you how happy I feel.

Well, I hope you'll be happy to stay

here for a long time.

How long did you live in Puerto Rico?

I was born in France, but we moved

to Puerto Rico when I was 14.

My father worked for a French company.

Puerto Rico?

It belongs to the United States, doesn't it?

Here, we are free.

Why do you speak using the first person?

Oh, I'm half Haitian.

My mother was a native and my father

was with the British Navy.

I was born on the island.

You see, I was brought up here and

even though my skin is more white than

black, I feel I am a true Haitian.

I think I understand.

There it is, your home.

Ah, it's just

beautiful.

You must have had a nice house in

Puerto Rico.

No, my father's business was poorly managed.

All we could afford was a modest house,

but it didn't matter because I had my

dreams.

I imagined a marvelous world and someday my

prince charming would come to carry me off

to his palace.

Now it's really happened.

It's come true.

Maybe I'm still only dreaming.

The house, the gardens, they're all so fabulous.

Let's go in.

It's like a museum in here.

I'd like you to meet Ida, your husband's

secretary.

Please let me know if I can be

of any assistance to you.

Nothing now.

I'd like to go to my room and

clean up.

Ida, would you mind showing the way?

I'm sorry, but I can't right now.

I have an urgent job to finish.

I'm sure Ines will.

You're not very busy, are you?

All right.

Come with me, Susan.

This is your room.

Is it okay?

Yes.

I'll leave you now.

You must be tired.

Thank you.

Hello there, sweetie.

Who are you?

What do you want?

So you're Susan.

I'm Olga.

Your old man must have told you about

me.

My old man?

That's right, honey.

Your main man.

You know, your husband.

He didn't.

So who are you?

Well, he should have told you.

I'm Olga.

You've never heard of me, huh?

No.

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

It's not my fault, babe.

Well, I'm his sister.

His sister?

Jack's sister?

I thought he told you.

You see, we've always been so close.

He's so good and so gentle.

He needs to be taken care of.

You must know that.

Now come and give me a kiss.

Don't be shy.

But why are you in my bed?

He really should have explained.

He likes me to come and sleep with

him.

What are you saying?

You sleep with your brother?

Yes.

I'm his baby doll.

I always cuddle up to him for protection.

It's a very pure relationship.

I promise nothing happens between us.

Are you shocked?

Well, yes.

Well, don't be.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

Come on.

Wouldn't you like to take a bath?

I know I would.

Why don't you join me?

There's plenty of room.

Jack has told me all about you.

I confess I've always been curious.

I never thought that Jack would marry anyone.

But now that he has, I want to

know all about his chosen bride.

Understand?

Love should be reserved for someone special.

And according to Jack, you are a very

special person.

He tells me you're very imaginative in bed.

I hope you don't mind my knowing all

this.

He told me everything.

There's only one thing I don't know.

Have you ever had sex with a woman?

You really are too curious.

It's true.

But I got so excited when Jack told

me about you.

Now my back needs washing.

Do it yourself.

Oh, please, Susie.

Come on.

Get in the bath.

Hello?

Jack, will you be here soon?

I can hardly wait.

Oh, no.

I don't want to wait until tonight.

Can't you get away any earlier?

I want to see you.

I love you so, and I missed you.

It's been such a long time.

Oh, surely you can work something out.

Don't you want to see me?

Darling, I love you more and more.

Darling, I love you more and more.

You always have such good ideas.

You can say that again.

I'll come right away.

I wish you would reconsider, Rodier.

It's too late, Mr. Aouz.

I've made my decision and that's final.

Yes?

Excuse me.

Oh, Jack.

How nice to see you.

Oh, darling.

Oh, Susan.

This is Mr. Rodier.

Madame.

And this is Dr. Barré.

He's a psychiatrist.

I'm happy to meet you.

My compliments, Jack, on your beautiful wife.

She's divine.

I admire your choice.

I'll see you again.

I hope so.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Madame.

Sir.

Monsieur.

Goodbye.

I missed you so much, darling.

And I missed you too.

I was so lonely.

Why didn't you tell me about your sister?

Oh, God, Olga.

I hope she behaved herself.

The damage is already done.

She's a little bit crazy, but she's really

not a bad girl.

I'm sure I'll love it here.

When can you show me around?

Today.

I've read so much about the country, especially

about voodoo.

Would you like to know more about voodoo?

You could learn a lot of the secrets

from one of the Hugo.

What is that?

A voodoo priest.

There's something I'd like to know.

Would you do whatever I ask?

You know I would, my dear.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Don't be afraid.

Now, come

with me.

Where are

you taking me?

Don't worry.

I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid.

What's wrong, my darling?

Oh, Jack, I had a nightmare.

It was awful.

I was scared.

I can't stop thinking about it.

I'm still trembling.

It's all right now.

What did that dream mean?

Why do you keep thinking about it?

It'll only upset you.

Anyway, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.

Good morning.

How's my new little sister?

That's enough.

Oh, it looks like you were busy last

night.

Terrible pest.

Just ignore her.

You look like Venus rising from the water.

Oh, did you fuck my brother enough last

night?

We could hear you all over the house.

You sounded crazy.

Cut it out.

Well, it's just that I worry about you,

big brother.

Your blood pressure.

You were warned by the doctor.

You're asking for it.

So soft and so beautiful to touch.

Why do you tease?

Does your sister have a lover somewhere?

I don't think so.

She needs one, the nymphomaniac.

Her lover would have to be in pretty

good shape.

This is the souvenir market.

It's a real tourist trap.

Primitive paintings, wood carvings, things like that.

It's all very amusing, but it really doesn't

interest me.

I want to know about the real Haiti.

I think the whole idea of voodoo is

fascinating.

Couldn't we see a real ceremony?

Could you arrange to take me, Jack?

It's difficult to say.

You see, real voodoo is not a tourist

attraction.

It's a religion with very secret and complex

rituals.

That sounds very exciting.

Do they believe in more than one god?

Many more than I know of.

Tell me about the ones you know.

One of the more important gods is Legba.

He's the protector of the home.

He acts as the intermediary between man and

the spirits.

The spirits are called Loas, and the Haitians

pray to them for special powers and protection.

Do the Loas have individual names?

Yes.

For example, there is Uga, the god of

war, and Zaka, the god of culture.

And I already told you about the Hugo.

Yes, but tell me more.

Well, as the voodoo priests, they perform the

religious ceremonies in a hunfo, which is their

word for a temple.

These are usually very rustic buildings, sometimes even

old barns.

Do you know what time you'll be finished?

Tonight.

Not before that?

I'm really sorry.

You must understand that work comes first.

But don't worry.

I'm free tonight.

Just the two of us?

Yes.

See you later, huh?

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Have a good day.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Don't touch that.

Susan, it is strictly forbidden to touch anything

in that case.

In particular, that doll.

Please put it back.

But what does it represent?

A human being.

It's supposed to resemble a specific individual.

And what about these?

Why is it stuck with pins?

A spell was put on that doll.

The man will die.

This man must die.

Believe me.

Susan.

What's been going on here?

Did I frighten you?

Inez, take care of this.

Come on, I'll pour you a bourbon.

Come on.

Nothing like a drink to make your troubles

go away.

Your turn.

My best friend in Beckwitham.

It's true.

It's great.

Oh, I agree.

A very special friend.

If Mr. Cloutier offers us one more, I

won't refuse.

Drink up.

What is

it?

You wanted to see the real voodoo.

The time has come.

You will do everything I tell you.

Come make love to me.

I want you.

I want to kiss you all over.

I'll make you happy.

Susan.

Come to me.

Alice, what are you doing here?

Mademoiselle.

Is something wrong?

What do you want?

No.

No.

No.

Don't leave.

It's better with three, my little sister.

Believe me.

Come and try it.

Would you rather not make love tonight?

Good morning, Jack.

Good morning, dear.

Did you sleep well?

Jack.

You have to help me.

Why?

What's the matter?

I can't help myself.

I have a guilty conscience and it's haunting

me.

Marrying me wasn't a crime.

It's not funny, Jack.

I'm serious about how I feel.

I...

I remember the doll resembled the man I

thought I killed.

What are you talking about?

You had a nightmare while you were sleeping,

that's all.

I'll go crazy if I keep having these

strange dreams.

Shh.

Calm down.

Nothing has happened.

Good morning.

I think I can put your mind at

rest.

We have many cases like yours.

In Haiti, they're quite frequent.

Sensitive people like you are often haunted by

the strange aspects of the voodoo religion.

You have to be born and raised here

to properly understand it and to be able

to deal with the effects it can have.

The line between dream and reality is sometimes

very fine.

It's like love and hate.

It's sometimes hard to tell the difference.

Understand?

Mrs. House, can I have a minute?

I hope that you remember me.

I'm Pierre Barret.

Yes, that's right.

We have met already.

At the embassy.

I really don't remember it that well.

What can I do for you?

I'm a good friend of Jack's.

He asked me to drive by here.

Apparently, you were worried that a murder might

have happened.

One that you committed.

He was afraid that you might go to

the police to turn yourself in and thought

I might be of some assistance.

I'm a doctor, you see.

Is it true?

He asked you to come here and talk

to me.

Of course he did.

He's very worried about you.

Although there is no need to be, I've

already talked to the police and no one

was murdered last night.

Oh, no.

Good morning, my little angel.

What's this?

What are you hiding from me?

Ah, don't you think you're a little old

to be playing with dolls?

I found it on my bed.

Oh, someone was trying to scare you.

What's bothering you?

You can tell me.

You act like you've been hypnotized.

Is something wrong?

It's nothing.

Come on, I know you better than you

think.

Is it Jack?

No, it has nothing to do with him.

What is it then?

I'm afraid.

I'm terrified, Olga.

I hope it's not me that you're afraid

of.

Well, then maybe I can reassure you.

In any case, it can't hurt to try.

Oh, let's go in the bedroom.

Oh, come on, let's go in there.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

It was good, wasn't it?

I never believed it could be so heavenly.

My brother doesn't deserve a woman like you.

He's really a fool.

He doesn't know what a good thing he

has in you.

Don't be silly.

If you want, I could tell you things

about your husband you wouldn't believe.

Well, tell me right now.

No, the time hasn't come yet.

I still don't have enough proof.

But I'm already convinced that...

Listen, we'd better get dressed now.

We don't want to be late for your

guests.

Guests?

Didn't Jack tell you?

No, he didn't.

Do you know who they are?

Their name is Hawkins.

Jack's known them for a while.

No, Mr. Hawkins, I have never personally met

a zombie.

What is it exactly?

Oh, a sort of human robot.

A body without a soul.

They say they can work tirelessly like machines.

You must admit it would be practical.

It would be great if you could find

one in the supermarket.

Did you know there are two kinds of

voodoo priest?

The hougon and the bokos.

Have you heard of the mambos?

They're some kind of voodoo priestess or other.

That's right.

And other female priestesses who participate in ceremonies

are the hunsi women.

And the spirits are the loas.

Erzuli, for example, the spirit of love.

It's difficult to understand voodoo.

It's a religion with its own special ceremonies.

It has rituals and traditions that take years

to learn and understand.

I think a lot of it is magic.

I've heard stories about voodoo, strange things.

Things that cannot be explained.

Voodoo is really not the black magic people

believe it to be.

Naturally, it seems barbaric compared to our Western

concepts.

But in reality, today there's a lot of

Catholicism mixed in with their ancient beliefs.

Remember, voodoo originally came from Africa, where the

natives created a religion that would deal with

the realities of their lifestyle.

Today, voodoo is another philosophy of life.

Interesting.

I'm sure this philosophy, as you call it,

would have an influence on people.

Only for those who choose to be influenced.

But once you learn about voodoo, wouldn't it

be hard not to believe in it?

Many people study philosophies without following them.

I would think it must depend on the

individual personality.

Some people are more sensitive and therefore more

easily affected.

Sounds like you believe in it.

Does it really?

I'm impressed by your knowledge.

With all this fascinating talk about voodoo, we

forgot to tell you the real purpose of

our visit.

We want to live here.

We've fallen in love with Hyades, so we're

looking for a house to buy.

If I can be of any help, do

let me know.

Perhaps we can find a home through the

embassy.

In any case, we're very pleased to have

you join the community.

Cheers.

Thank you, Jack.

We'll certainly take you up on your kind

offer.

I'm looking forward to discovering more of the

secrets of Hyades.

So are we going to buy this house?

Yes, my darling.

But we're not only buying this house.

We'll buy other things as well.

We've got plenty of money, and if necessary,

I can ask Mr. House for a loan.

He's a good friend.

I love you so.

We're going to have a wonderful time here

in Hyades.

Oh.

Was this a present from Mr. House?

Susan, what are you doing?

Oh, please help me find the doll.

It's not here anymore.

I can't find it anywhere.

Why do you torment yourself?

This time it's true.

It wasn't a dream.

Last night, I killed Marianne Hawkins.

You're dreaming again.

Good morning.

Is something wrong?

Have you had another nightmare?

Our gods want you to be happy.

If you continue like this, your health will

suffer.

Perhaps it would be better if you went

away.

It could be a matter of life or

death.

You're in danger, madam.

You've got to trust me.

I sense danger.

You must leave.

Jack, please help me.

Calm down, my dear.

It wasn't a nightmare.

It was true.

I know I killed them myself.

Then tell me, where are the victims?

I don't know where they are.

Three people have been killed by me, Jack.

The end has finally come.

Happily, I was able to keep her away

from the police.

I never believed she'd be able to do

all of that.

It's astonishing how much strength women can have.

I hate her.

She's vulgar and stupid.

But she was just perfect for what we

wanted her to do.

Be patient a little longer.

It's because of her that we accomplished our

mission.

And she thought she was being controlled by

voodoo.

Tonight she will have her last bloody nightmare.

Tomorrow in the morning, I'll be forced to

tell the police.

You will come to the station with me

to give your testimony as a psychiatrist.

The crimes of a schizophrenic.

I can tell you have been carefully planning

this whole operation.

The British Council will never know.

We work well together.

You're sure the others won't talk?

I'm positive Venus and her black friends are

very loyal to me.

Everything's under control.

Good.

In any case, they don't know enough to

cause us trouble, so it's all right.

They're only interested in the money, and they

get plenty of that.

There's one problem left.

You know who I mean, don't you?

Olga.

Susan.

What is it?

No.

No.

Susan, don't.

No, do

it.

Susan, listen to me.

No, stop.

Susan.

Susan.

We didn't realize what was going on, Susan.

You were killed under the influence of hypnosis.

Who did it to me?

Jack and his good friend Pierre Barré.

And tonight they wanted you to kill me.

It was part of their plan.

Ines came in time.

But why?

He's your brother.

He isn't my brother.

He's my lover.

His name isn't Jack Howes, Susan.

He's Patrick Forrester.

He's a secret agent working for the Soviet

Union.

He was able to pass as the British

Council.

His assignment was to kill the president.

The whole plan was well underway.

I can't believe it.

Why me?

Someone else had to do the killings.

You were the obvious choice.

You were in love with him so Jack

could manipulate you.

He was able to hypnotize you.

Your husband had you do the killings.

That way he wouldn't be blamed.

You were his alibi.

He could claim that you were mentally unstable.

A schizophrenic.

You were supposed to kill anyone who got

in the way.

Like me.

Or anyone who knew too much.

Like the Hawkins or Mr. Rodier.

But Olga, why didn't you warn me?

Because I wasn't positive.

I thought it was a joke.

But this morning I understood what was happening.

I've been very suspicious for a long time.

Last night I spent the night with Ines.

Ines and I understand each other very well,

don't we my darling?

Yes.

This morning before you came, Ines found a

doll in your bedroom.

This time it had my face on it.

I knew then that I would be the

next victim.

That's right.

Come in.

Thank you.

Has she woken up yet?

Let's go and find out.

What do you want?

What the hell is going on?

Get out of here!

Water.

These men have used voodoo as a servant

to murder those in their way.

We must not allow this.

They will die.

They have offended the spirits of voodoo.

They will have to pay with their lives.

Those who kill by the sword will die

by the sword.

Justice will be done.
