Original subtitles

- Señora d'Esperanza.

- Yes, Muchado.

- I have finished, he's in the casket,

just what you wanted, no?

- I believe this is what you wanted, yes?

- You are most generous,

or maybe I should say, almost generous.

- Oh?

- This is a lot of money

for what should have been a very simple job.

Tell me, you have a death certificate?

- I told you, the doctor signed it this morning.

- Oh yes, the doctor examined the body?

Of course.

- That's strange,

because when I started to work on him,

I found he wasn't dead.

By then it was too late to stop,

and I'm sure you wouldn't want me to,

but I said to myself,

"Muchado, this puts you in an awkward position.

You are a reputable undertaker,

You wouldn't want to be known as a murderer."

I hope you understand, señora.

- How much?

- On two occasions,

I myself have seen people who have been given a drug

similar to curare.

Even a doctor would be fooled

into thinking a person was dead.

So I said to myself,

"Muchado, why should anyone take such a drug themself?"

The answer was simple, Señora Lupe, nobody would,

but if somebody else was to give them the drug,

collected a death certificate from an innocent doctor,

hired a competent man like myself

to complete the job for them, well!

I was proud to be part of such a plan.

- How much?

- Of course, the authorities would be interested

in such an arrangement, but...

I am an honest man.

Shall we say, this much again?

- And this would be the end of it?

- Señora.

Do you mind?

- That's what it's for.

- To a lasting friendship, based on mutual trust.

And now with your permission señora,

I will pick up my things in the laboratory on the way out.

Many thanks for your kindness.

- I don't like greedy people, Muchado.

You saw Kovic die, now I watch you die.

- Oh, don't stop Sable.

- Hey, that's the best hand I got

since I played the Knights of Pythias fish fry

in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

Anyway, it's the best show on the ship, or is it a boat?

I never could get those straight.

- I've talked to the captain,

he says Kovic hasn't been on this yacht in over two years,

not since the accident.

He's just paid to sit on the mainland

and ferry people back and forth.

He's only done that three or four times.

But this is strange, nobody gets to see Kovic in person,

not even the captain.

They do business with that native, his housekeeper.

Anyway, absolutely no one else gets to see Kovic.

Do you have any idea what doctor attended him

after his accident, Dr. Corozal?

- No, I was in Nassau when it happened.

But after what he did to me, I knew he wouldn't call me.

I heard he was badly burned, that's all I know.

- Well, I heard that much myself.

There's no reason for me to worry about it.

Here's to freedom.

I know, he's hurt all of you,

but you have no idea how it's been with me all these years.

I had a good law practice when I met Kovic,

he virtually blackmailed me into working for him,

and there was no way out,

and I'm sure you all know how that is.

When a man has that much power,

you do what he says, or else.

I had no idea he was this sick, though,

and I don't understand about the will,

why he didn't call on me to prepare it for him.

"I'm in the terminal stages of a grave illness,

and I want you to come to Castle Montego

for the reading of my will,

which I'm sure will interest you.

In my lifetime, I've offended you,

and I wanna make amends," signed Kovic.

- What a crazy sense of humor, offended me?

He threw me out on my can!

- Was anything added to your cable?

- No, I don't think so.

- How long did you know him, Sable?

- Oh, quite a while.

We had, well, what you might call an understanding.

Oh, he was a louse in some ways,

but, in other ways, he was brilliant.

I think that's what got to me.

I never met anybody quite like him,

he was way ahead of everybody else in electronics.

Everywhere we went, people were in awe of him, I liked that.

Well anyway, we all aren't lucky enough

to like the person we fall in love with.

It's all over now.

- Maybe she's right, the guy's dying,

maybe we should have some kind of respect.

- Respect? A man like Kovic?

Mr. Hawley, have you ever had a small child

stand in front of you and tell you he's hungry?

Have you ever tried to go to sleep at night

and seen a thousand such eyes saying the same thing,

and know in your heart,

that your promises to them are as empty as their stomachs?

The Tunki silver mines were my people's birthright,

and Kovic stole them!

Don't ask me to respect such a man.

I long for the day I can walk on his grave!

- You know, that old man is nuttier than a fruitcake.

- Yeah?

You know, Hawley,

when the sparrow gets involved with a hawk,

there's no doubt as to the outcome,

the sparrow doesn't have to like it, you know.

- I think this boat ride is getting on everybody's nerves.

- What do you think this is all about, Matt?

- I don't know, Carrol, I really don't know,

I'm sure gonna find out.

Looks like everybody inside there feels the same way as I.

I sure have missed you, honey, you look wonderful.

I told you I'd be back, remember?

- Oh I remember, but, uh, now stop me if I'm wrong,

wasn't that about two years ago?

- Yeah, something like that.

I really had no choice dear.

Matter of fact, I was on my way

back when I got Kovic's wire.

- Two years of dreaming of a romantic reunion,

we meet on the dock, and, you do everything

but practically poke me in the ribs with your thumb, and say

"What's new, lady?" That's very romantic.

- Well I wasn't so sure I'd get such a warm welcome

after two years.

Yunno I love you. Heck, I wanted to just grab ya

and give ya a big fat kiss right there,

but I was afraid you might throw me in the bay.

- What's holding you back now, stranger?

- Not a thing.

- Take it easy, I'm not that anxious to get there.

The least he could've done was have someone pick us up

at the dock.

- Did you always have to walk up, Sable?

- I've never been here before,

he wouldn't let me on the island.

And he didn't spend much time here himself,

before the accident.

- All we can get out here is wet, come on, let's go.

- I'm so sorry you were caught in the rain,

but Mr. Kovic insists

that we have no transportation on the island.

I'm Lupe Tekal d'Esperanza.

You are Matt Granger,

you would be Carrol Harris.

Just call me Sable.

- Tunki, I know. - Señora.

- Dr. Corozal. - Señora d'Esperanza.

- And of course, Robert Hawley.

- It's a pleasure.

- I'll be with you in a moment.

- Well this is a cheery little spot, huh?

- Yes, quite a setup.

- Kovic bought the place several years ago.

I handled the deal for him, but never did get to see it.

Why anybody would want it, I don't know.

Cost a small fortune, too.

- Gives me the creeps.

- Mr. Kovic would like you to come with me, please.

Mr. Kovic is dead.

Won't you be seated?

It's Mister Kovic's wish.

- Uh, when did it happen, ma'am?

- He passed away this morning.

- My god, his face.

Maybe I ended up hating him, but

but nobody deserves anything like that.

- It is Kovic, he has on the ring, just like this,

there are only two of these in the world,

they were made by an old Silversmith in my village.

- He recorded it before he died.

I was left instructions by Mr. Kovic

when he knew he was going to die, before seeing any of you.

This was a dying man's last request,

so I'm sure you will want to comply with his wishes.

Will you please come with me?

Would you be seated, please?

You have all come a great way

to hear the reading of the will.

Mr. Kovic is disappointed that he cannot read it to you

since he prepared it himself.

There are certain conditions that must be met

before the will can become effective.

These conditions are written in a preamble,

I shall read it to you.

- Does all this sound right to you?

- We haven't heard anything yet.

Listen to me very carefully.

The first point in the preamble states,

that if any of the heirs die before the will is filed,

the remaining heirs will divide the estate.

The next point.

"I, Carl Kovic, do testify that exactly two years ago

on this island of Nassau, on this date,

I was seriously injured in a laboratory explosion.

"Due to the fact that the experiment

involved the use of certain phosphorous salts,

I was doomed to a slow certain death.

I knew that this explosion was not an accident,

and that someone had deliberately switched labels

on two bottles."

- Furthermore, all six of you people

had the opportunity on that day and date

to commit my murder, and all six of you had a motive.

When you find out which one of you

committed this hideous crime,

then the rest of you become my heirs.

- All right, let's put a stop to all the nonsense.

Where's Kovic?

- I don't understand.

- Oh?

Doc, come in here a minute, will you?

Hey doc, I wanna be sure that this is really Kovic.

Is there any way that you can tell?

- Yes, I operated on him for a ruptured appendix,

he was a very sick man.

I saved his life, and all I got out of it

was a suit claiming malpractice.

It's Kovic all right.

- Then who was that in the other room?

- It must've been a trick of some kind.

- Yeah, a very convincing one, too.

I'm gonna talk to that Lupe.

All right Lupe, let's have it, what's goin' on?

- I know this is an ordeal for all of you,

but I strongly suggest

you think about what you have just heard.

Mr. Kovic wants to know who tried to murder him.

At ten o'clock tomorrow morning

will be the reading of the actual will,

providing the conditions of the preamble are met.

While I'm preparing something for you to eat,

please help yourselves at the bar.

Excuse me.

- Well, what do you think?

- I dunno, he's got something going.

We don't have much choice

but to wait and see what she comes up with.

- Well I don't know about you,

but I heard Kovic's voice, I'd know it anywhere,

and I'd swear on a stack of phone books, I just saw him!

- Well, I've been to a few Seances in my lifetime,

and they do some amazing things, but I must say,

that was the most realistic and frightening experience

I've ever witnessed.

- Lupe's of my people, doctor,

do not be so quick to pass off as just a trick,

what you have just seen.

- Surely you can't believe it was any more than a trick.

- We are a simple people, Dr. Corozal,

more closely attuned to what you call

the spirit world, than you are.

Evil does live on after death,

I have seen it demonstrated.

- I think we're all missing a point.

Now the witness accusation of a dying man,

is admissible evidence in a court of law.

Now if Kovic believes that one of us tried to kill him,

and he told Lupe this, then I am reasonably sure

the will could not be executed

without a complete investigation.

- Well, we all had a pretty good reason to kill Kovic.

If I remember correctly,

there was an investigation right after that accident.

Nothing was turned up.

- That's right, there was an investigation.

- That was an informal hearing, not an investigation.

But the fact remains that we're talking about a lotta money,

over $400,000 each, is a good rough estimate.

And, if one of us was eliminated by law,

for the reason that Kovic suggests,

each share will increase considerably.

- Well aren't you the cheery little fella?

Why don't you just relax?

- I believe we should all know where we stand.

- Well, I wanna hit that bar.

- That guy Hawley gives me the creeps.

Kovic never liked him, he just used him.

I'm surprised he got him in on the will.

- I'm surprised he out any of us in on it.

- Oh, Kovic was a strange man, he was brutal, cold,

but then, he never had anybody, you know what I mean?

It's just like him

to pick the six people that hated him the most,

and leave them all his money.

But it looks like we're gonna have to earn

every dollar of it before we get it.

Say, Carrol, maybe I'm butting in where I don't belong,

and you can stop me if you want to,

but, that guy Matt, haven't you got something going for him?

Does it show that much?

- Well it does to somebody like me.

I've been around the track a couple of times myself.

I speak from experience.

Let me tell you, there aren't many of that kind left around.

Hey, what's the doctor's story?

I never met him when I was seeing Kovic,

he's kind of interesting.

- I don't know anything about him, but he seems nice.

- Well, just between us girls, I think I'll find out.

- Well, don't let Hawley upset you too much.

- I like to pick my own company.

- I can't imagine any more delightful company than you.

- Well that's the nicest thing anybody ever said to me

without his hand on my knee.

- They should suspect me more than anyone of killing Kovic.

By agreement, the silver mines will return to my people

upon his death.

- I can't imagine you committing a murder, Mr. Tunki.

- I had every opportunity that day in the lab.

I was trying to help him,

at least, that's the excuse I gave myself.

He told me to hand him a bottle,

and I gave him sulfuric acid.

He was very upset, he told me that if he used the acid,

it would blow up the place.

- Then you gave it to him by mistake?

- I don't really know, but of course, he didn't use it.

- They could suspect me too.

I was in Nassau the day of the explosion,

and you know I had every reason to want to kill Kovic.

- There is one great difference, Miss Carrol,

a person like you is not capable of killing in anger,

but for my people,

killing when you have been dishonored, is accepted,

more than that, it's expected.

- He didn't do it. - No chance.

Want a drink? - Nh-huh.

- Matt,

Why did you go away?

- Oh, that's a long story, Carrol.

- Well, I can't think of a long story I'd rather hear.

- Okay.

You think I'm a good engineer?

- My father thought you were great, and you know how I feel.

- Yeah, well, when I was working for Kovic,

boy, that man set out with a dedication

you just couldn't believe,

to destroy my confidence in myself.

He spent days, I mean, a small fortune,

just to find flaws in my work,

everything I did he just, chopped right to pieces.

Once, he even brought a man all the way from London

to prove that my analysis of an oil deal was wrong.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Well, I told your father.

Yunno, I wanted him to get out, too.

Ah, you know how he was, then I left.

By that time, Kovic fixed it so I couldn't get a job,

oh, for over a year and a half.

I had to use a phony name once to get a job washing dishes.

- Matt, you know I'd have gone with you.

- I know honey but,

I wasn't about to start out our life,

making like a yo-yo,

with that character in there pulling the string.

- My dad told me you'd warned him about Kovic,

by that time, it was too late,

Kovic had taken everything dad had worked for all his life,

was gone, completely.

He couldn't take it, one day he just, quit living.

I don't think I ever hated a man as much as I hated Kovic.

Yet when I saw him in there, I almost felt sorry for him.

I just can't understand why he wanted to destroy

everyone and everything around him, it doesn't make sense.

- Ah, it became an obsession with him, honey.

You know, a lotta successful men have that same, singleness,

and purpose and drive, but boy with Kovic,

it became, well, it just reached fantastic proportions.

Yeah, he believed he was right and everybody else was wrong.

You know, the night I quit,

I told him I thought he was off his rocker.

Boy, that must've really struck a nerve,

because he started screaming that I was snoopin' around, and,

uh, I'd been talking to Dr. Corozal.

Then he said a funny thing, he said he'd fixed Corozal

so that nobody would ever have confidence in him again.

I never understood that until this morning

when I was talking to Corozal, before you people got here.

The doc told me he'd found out

that Kovic's dad was criminally insane.

- Oh no.

- Yeah, I guess that explains why he wanted

all that power and position, yunno,

any way he could get it,

to rise above the stigma of his father's insanity.

You know, the doc thought that Kovic

was a borderline case himself, and he knew it.

Anything at all, yunno,

it'd just push him over that line.

I suppose the accident that happened to him

a couple years ago just about did it.

- Yunno, I've about had it with this place.

- Yeah, me too.

Well, we're stuck here tonight,

that boat won't be back 'til tomorrow morning.

- Well let's say it was a trick,

but we're missing the main point,

and the estate cannot be divided

until that point is settled.

Sable, could you prove your innocence?

Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying you did it,

but, could you prove your innocence?

- Easy, I'd claim that I'd fallen madly in love with you,

and we went away for the weekend together.

Then they'd slap me in the nut house and I'd be home free.

What about you, counselor,

can you prove that you didn't do it?

- Of course, I could.

- Well then, why don't you not worry about me,

and I won't worry about you, deal?

- She has a point Hawley,

none of us know what this is all about, yet.

- You were born and raised in this area,

weren't you, Dr. Corozal?

- Yes, I went to school in the States,

but I came back here to practice.

- And you know people like Lupe,

people who seem to have a knowledge,

others cannot understand.

- Well I think I know what you're trying to say, Tunki,

but, I can't be of any help.

You see, education has a way of knocking some of the old

superstitions and primitive beliefs

right out of our systems.

- Most of them, but not all of them,

isn't that right, doctor?

When Kovic was burned, he turned more and more to Lupe.

I think you and I are perhaps,

the only ones here who know really why he kept her with him.

- One of the voodoo superstitions, Sable, is

is that evil lives on after death, and can be controlled.

What Tunki is trying to say is--

- I think I know what he's trying to say,

I, just don't want to hear it.

- Well I'm not going to listen to it,

Kovic is dead and that's that,

I don't know what this little show Lupe put on is all about,

and I think someone of us should be preparing

an answer to a formal charge of murder, or at least--

- Hawley, shut up!

You're so anxious to get your fingers on that money,

you'd hang anybody

- You little tramp, just who do you think you're talking to?

- Take it easy, Hawley.

- No, I mean it!

The rest of us have a legitimate reason for being here,

what did she do for Kovic?

You could pick her kind up at any street corner.

And then she starts crying

when she gets thrown back into the street where she belongs!

The only thing I don't understand

is why Kovic put up with her as long as he did.

- Just a minute Hawley.

- Don't waste your time on him, doc.

Now Hawley,

for the benefit of some of the people in this room,

let's get a couple of facts straight.

First of all, Kovic hated your guts.

- Don't you start.

- Oh, shut up.

Yunno, coming over here,

we all heard you shootin' off your mouth

about how Kovic forced you to work for him.

Now Sable knew better, I know better,

and I'm damn sure Tunki here did.

Everybody knows it was your fine hand

that caused Tunki's people to lose

the only thing they ever had in this world--

their silver mine.

Now, Kovic never forced you to work for him,

he didn't have to, you found a fat calf,

and you weren't about to let it go.

Why, you don't even belong in the same room with Sable.

And the only reason Kovic

didn't get rid of you in the first place,

was because every time he wanted somebody to kick around,

there you were, layin' right in front of him,

with your tail waggin', just beggin' for it.

Oh, like I said, shut up.

- I'm sorry this isn't very elaborate,

but it was Mr. Kovic's wish

that we had no household help.

If you get tired, you will find your bags

at the door of the upstairs bedrooms

I have selected for you.

I'm sure you saw the stairs in the entry hall.

- Who can sleep?

- Care for a sandwich?

- Perhaps I can help you, Mr. Hawley.

- Yes, you can help me,

you can help me by getting me a copy of the will.

- There is no copy of the will in this room.

- I don't believe you.

- Mr. Hawley, I tell you,

there is no copy of the will here.

- I said, I don't believe you.

Where is it?

- You will all see it

when the conditions of the preamble are met.

- I don't care about the others, I'm only interested in me.

I wanna see a copy of that will,

and I wanna see it right now!

What kinda money are we talking about?

Just exactly what does that will say?

We got cables to come down here, from a dead man.

All we get from you is a lotta mumbo jumbo.

- I am following Mr. Kovic's instructions,

and I intend to keep right on following them.

- You know, I've got a feeling about you,

I wanna know if you are in that will,

I wanna know if you planned that accident in Nassau.

- That is ridiculous, Mr. Hawley.

- I don't think so.

If you wanna convince me, show me the will,

show me that you don't benefit by his death.

- I cannot show it to you.

- You tried to kill him, didn't you?

- I had no reason to do that.

Mr. Kovic was very generous to me,

but you had every opportunity at Nassau.

- I can make a case against you, and I can make it stick.

His housekeeper finds that his estate

is going to be split up among a number of people.

Yeah, I can develop that argument.

Listen, you get me a copy of that will

or I'll break every bone in your body.

- I must follow Mr. Kovic's orders.

- Get it!

- I can't!

- You don't believe me, do you?

- I'll bring the will to you.

- I'll wait here.

- No, in your room.

- All right, in my room.

- Antisocial? - No.

- Hey that Hawley's something else again, isn't he?

- Well, Matt did quite a job on him.

You know, I envy him,

even as a youngster, I never had what you call a real fight.

Oh, I've worked hard to get through school,

but I never had what you call a real fight,

yunno, like where two people stand nose to nose

and you don't know how it's gonna come out,

it just never came up.

Now for the first time in my life,

I feel as though I've missed something.

- Doc, it's overrated, I've been fighting all my life,

but, uh, I don't notice it's been much of a help to me.

- Maybe if I had a little of what you have,

I wouldn't have been so easy for Kovic.

- Don't worry about it,

that's the reason Kovic was on your back,

he knew that you had something that he didn't have.

You can't knock the goodness out of a man,

and he found that out.

You just stay the way you are.

- What are you?

- What is it Matt?

- I wanna try something.

- What are you doing?

- Got an idea,doc.

Look, if you'll just sit down the same seats you had

when Lupe was reading the will, just for a second.

Oh uh doc, will you hit the light switch once for me?

Now I just found, some kind of a dimmer up here,

in a moment I'm gonna try it.

Now if I remember correctly,

when Lupe was reading the will,

she started out something like this.

If any of the heirs die before the will is filed,

then the estate will be divided among the remaining heirs.

Then she went on to say, um,

"I, Carl Kovic, about two years ago,

was seriously injured or burned

in a phosphorus chemical explosion."

And he, uh, he said, "I was doomed to die."

And he also went on to say,

oh, "but the explosion was not an accident."

Just about that time, then the lights went down.

Now let's try it.

Furthermore, every one of you six people

had the opportunity on that day and date

to commit my murder, and all six of you had a motive.

- Speaker somewhere in this lectern.

When you find out which one of you

committed this hideous crime,

then the rest of you become my heirs.

- Well, that's part of it, there's your tape recorder.

- Well, that blows the spook bit.

- Yes, but it still doesn't explain

how that body was up here.

Let's try it again.

- Look, the fireplace is opening!

Matt, don't go in there.

- Carrol, hit that switch again, will you please?

- Don't worry about him, Carrol.

- Look honey, we all know this setup

is as phony as a carny game.

You saw Matt when he found the tape machine.

- But that still does not explain how we all saw Kovic.

- No, it doesn't,

but you're driving me outta my skull

with this stuff about evil living after death.

Things are bad enough without any help from you.

- Matt!

- Well,

Hawley's dead.

- No.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

The passageway, it eventually led me to his room.

Place looked like it was some kind

of a gang fight up there.

That poor man, why, he sure died scared.

- Matt, what are we going to do?

I don't know, Carrol,

we got a murder on our hands now, though.

- Mr. Granger, I just saw you upstairs.

- You listen to me, Lupe,

you better come up with some answers, and fast.

- I saw you come out of Mr. Hawley's room.

He's been murdered, Mr. Granger.

- Well I didn't kill him!

- What else can I think?

I saw you come out of his room.

- Listen, I don't care what you think,

but you're gonna tell me what's going on around here.

- Murder, Mr. Granger!

- Listen Lupe, I know I didn't kill Hawley,

but I happen to know that you know who did.

Are you gonna tell me nicely, or

do I get the information the hard way, huh?

- Perhaps I was wrong to accuse you.

- Well, who killed Hawley, then?

- I don't know.

- Don't hand me that, nobody else around here could know.

Okay Lupe, but I'm gonna find out.

- Matt,

Matt, you were awfully rough with her.

- I know Carrol, but we're talkin' about murder now.

- What did Lupe say?

C'mon, what gives?

- Nothing gives.

- What did Lupe tell you?

- Didn't tell me anything, yet.

Carrol!

Carrol!

- What happened?

- It's all right now, darling.

- I saw him!

I saw Kovic, it was in that wall over there,

and Lupe.

- Take it easy, take it easy, take it easy,

it'll be all right.

- She's dead.

- Doc, I think you better

do something for Carrol, she's hysterical.

Take it easy.

- Let's get her upstairs, I have a sedative in my suitcase.

- Can you make it, honey?

- I'm afraid.

- Here, let me give you a hand, honey.

- But I saw Kovic!

- Where?

- He was by that tapestry, he was looking right at me!

- Doc, you better take her upstairs.

- Right.

That's my bag.

- Don't flip, honey, just play it cool.

- He'll, he'll-- - I'll be right back.

Let me help you.

Hey, when I was a little girl, my mother used to say,

"Mary"-- that's my name, Mary Teresa Polaski,

that's a kick, isn't it? Heh!

She used to say,

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Well, I didn't, if I did any more, I'd be hung by now.

On the other hand, my old man never said nothin'.

He never got drunk, except when he had a hangover.

But he had a little beauty that lasted thirty years.

He looked naked without a glass in his hand.

He never got drunk, he just stayed that way.

Boy, he had a breath that would melt the

ice off a windshield.

Boy, what a guy.

There, feel better honey?

Yeah.

- Good.

Here, you just lie down.

There we go.

Put your feet up.

- This'll make you drowsy.

- Thank you.

- You daughter of my people,

are possessed of a great evil.

Through you, the spirit of Kovic has returned from the dead.

That spirit must be laid to rest again.

In death, you must die again.

- Hold it Tunki, gimme that knife.

- It's the law of my people!

The evil in her must be killed, do not interfere!

- Wait a minute, don't make me hurt ya.

- You, must think I'm a crazy old man.

- No, but I think you got some pretty savage ideas.

- Savage?

Our customs were ancient,

before the Spanish conquered my people, a great nation.

When Kovic came to us, I was a chief,

the responsibility of everything my people owned

was in my hands.

I offered my hand in trust and friendship,

and he tricked me!

I had to leave in disgrace.

Then I discovered, when I was an old man,

that I did not have the courage

to do what I should have done, destroy myself.

But now, the light long dead is lit again,

I can see once more.

Perhaps it was the wish of the gods,

that I should live to bring back to my people,

the things that were taken away.

Perhaps it was a greater test of courage,

to endure the humiliation of serving a man

you hated and despised with every fiber

of your mind and soul.

I only hope my people will once more, believe in me.

- Listen Tunki, no matter what you think, Kovic is dead,

but I still believe in you,

and I'm sure your people do too.

- Her spirit still lives!

- Listen Tunki, go upstairs, tell the doctor right away,

and you stay with the women, I don't want them left alone.

- You should not have stopped me,

when the knife was in my hands.

- I don't understand it,

she had no pulse at all when I left.

- Do you think you'll be able to get her to talk to us?

- I don't know.

I'll try but don't, don't look for miracles.

She's coming around, but I don't think it'll be for long.

- He hit me, he shouldn't have touched me.

I'm the only one, he shouldn't have gone after.

I took care of him for years,

Kovic thought he was god.

He created that electronic man in his own image.

I saw him.

It's that, that's what you saw,

its brain is a computer

filled with all the evil that was in Kovic.

I convinced Kovic one of you tried to kill him.

He brought you here to find out which one did it.

That horrible monster was to destroy the guilty one,

and it has,

I know I'm dying,

I killed Kovic to get all his money,

but none of you will get it.

That thing will destroy all of you, I planned it,

it was the perfect way out for me.

I tried to program it for my own benefit,

but something went wrong.

No one can stop him now,

he's beyond control,

you can't stop him, Matt.

It wasn't supposed to kill me.

I hate you, Kovic!

- Let's go check on Hawley.

Doc, he's gone. He was layin' right there.

- Are you sure he was dead?

- No question about it.

- Must've been a terrible fight.

- Yeah.

The same thing is gonna happen to all of us

if we don't destroy this thing.

- Stop thinking about Lupe, doc's looking after her.

- Lupe's dead.

- I know.

- Lupe is dead.

- I'll take your word for it.

- Doc,

listen, I don't think we better tell them.

You take this, stay with them, barricade that door.

- How 'bout you?

- Well, if I have to go over every inch of this place,

I'll find a way to stop him.

Now Lupe's dead.

- Yes, I know.

- Before she died, she told me just what we're up against.

- What?

- You do what the doctor tells you, Sable.

- She'll be all right.

- Tunki, you come with me, please.

- Well what did Lupe say?

- She was, uh, pretty incoherent.

- Well, then Carrol really did see something, didn't she?

- Uh, I'm afraid so.

- And you aren't gonna tell me, are ya?

Now I really am scared.

- Don't be, Matt knows what he's doing,

we'll just have to rely on him now.

Here, give me a hand with this.

- She's gone!

- Yunno somethin' Tunki,

it must be following some pre-set programing,

except for slight deviations,

it would have to complete each act

before it starts a new one.

I hope we've got time.

This looks like a complete closed circuit TV system.

Looks like a lab.

You know how to find it?

- Yes, yes, I think so.

- Feel any better?

- So drowsy.

Doctor, where's Matt?

- He's downstairs.

You're doing fine.

- How come I never met nice guys like you?

I attract bums like a park bench.

Married at fifteen, divorced at twenty-two,

divorced at twenty-eight again.

Oh, what a bunch of daisies I picked.

You married?

- My wife left me when Kovic sued me.

- Oh that's tough.

Oh, well you know what he did to me,

but it's my own fault, for putting in with him.

I shoulda met a nice guy like you.

- You did, and he thinks you're a pretty nice guy, too.

Thanks,

ah, that makes me feel

like my hair was natural.

- Quite a layout, huh?

Almost looks human.

Holy smokes.

What we've got here?

This thing looks like a laser gun.

You better stand over here, Tunki.

Well, we don't have to wonder

what happened to Lupe and Hawley now.

Let's get outta here.

- One thing I don't do good is wait.

- I understand, but we don't have much choice.

- That's what kills me, you do understand.

Matt!

Matt!

Matt!

- What happened? - Oh Matt,

it hit Doc and it's after Carrol.

- Doc, you all right?

- Yeah, he came through there.

- Carrol, come down this way, quickly!

- Oh Matt!

- Come on.
