Charlie, what did you find?

Well, sure if you know that legend

Jay asked me about spin told me his parts,

probably 100 years or more about the woman

that lives in the lake and turns into a snake.

I never thought much about it.

We got maybe five 6000 books in the library.

He asked me to look. So I did and I had to go through damn near everyone,

but I found it. There's a legend of a girl called them Bella.

She turns into a snake.

She kind of lives forever. It's like eternal life.

She's almost like a bridge between life and death.

It's very interesting. So there's pictures.

What do you think you believe it?

I don't know if I believe it. You know, the reason I don't know is

there's two reasons people write books.

One of them is to kind of tell a story and entertain people

and the other ones to record history.

which one they did in this case?

I do know one thing. And I know this for sure.

That just because you can't see something or don't believe in it,

doesn't mean it's impossible for it to exist or to happen.

Well, there's a young fella living on that island now.

Maybe Sergeant buck and I could take a ride out there

and find out about him.

And then Bella

You don't believe in it.

Why are we taking this 10 mile trip

on this hot summer day in this Louisiana swamp?

I don't believe a word of it.

But I was brought up in this swamp.

And if you've ever spent a night in there by yourself,

we believe almost anything

to get it now in a bright light of day

and yet just five feet from

the bayou

darkest night

I've heard most all the swamp people's votes

nor is never heard

any bet any damn Bella.

They've got nothing better to do.

Chase up and down this hot Bayou

looking for somebody, some not who lives

on some theoretical haunted island,

haunted by some voodoo lady and

turns itself into a snake.

He gotta be kidding, Lieutenant.

Now let me tell you this story.

This is I remember this was passed down by my grandfather.

This island we're gonna look at as a house owner.

Big House. completely furnished.

Nobody lives. been that way for 50 years.

Nobody owns it.

But he wants to.

He used to go to the island with my father when he was sheriff.

I always noticed we've been on a hot summer day and

yet there was five or six people

that try to claim the island,

squatters rights.

The longest one of them stayed with one night and

they come back with stories as tech Princess voodoo rights.

Living Dead everything imagined

now one man gets discharged from the army.

Good pension moves on to the island

never a month

but I just can't stand it.

I've got to go look.

You mean you can't stand it?

We gotta go

I looked it up in the encyclopedia

the Aztecs believed that dem Bala is the link

between this world and the next.

They believe it's a rainbow that turns into a snake.

And in order to cross over into the next world,

you have to walk over this rainbow snake or

whatever the hell it is

read the room

Hello, nice to see you. We don't get many visitors out here.

I need to do. I'm Lieutenant here again, this is Sergeant buck.

We just happen to be in the neighborhood.

But we'd stop by and give you well.

Well, that's fine about coming up onto the house

and have a cold beer or a cup of coffee

you're as nice and cool here.

As far as on the island, lemon o'clock Sunday.

I've never seen anything like that.

The fog is always here.

And if you walk into it is always a cool breeze

blown down by the trail

is a fall in media, right?

You know, there's no natural rocks in this part of the country.

And a night is the quietest place you've ever been about

coming in for a drink now?

An island with a house

you know, I can't even get anyone to come out here

and clean up on the fact,

the only human I've seen out here is a black haired girl

who goes swimming back down by the pond,

woman in that pond.

Any human being in 10 miles of this place.

Any human being want to come to this place

that I know.

I've run down as fast as I could to catch it

find out how she gets in.

She always had tails without

how long you've been here.

Two and a half months

that you've been here about a month.

I've been here about two and a half.

I retired from the Army after 15 years,

picked up a little metal in Vietnam and

took my medical discharge retired.

Yeah, so I understand the postmaster

you're quite the talk of the town

being a retired colonel from the Rangers.

I guess that explains why a little thing like black magic and voodoo.

doesn't scare you know

I've always been interested in this place.

Or a lot of stories about it.

anything strange happens out here.

I've always looked for a quiet place to settle down.

I think I found in fact the only thing strange around here

is the fog and coolness

must have something to do with the swamp

or the water table.

Like this one. I lived in it all my life in Florida

and four years in Vietnam.

Well, Ted

Hope you're keeping that money of yours in a safe place

you worked hard for it

our banker tells us you don't have an account with him

I'm not worried about that.

Got a lot of time

I got the rest of my life

keep it a lot of money around in this country

can be dangerous

good time to leave see the tides in

thanks a lot for your hospitality.

Join me next time you're in town

stop in coffee pots always.

I'll buy a beer

red Island thought about.

Mr Ray bear this is the man the lieutenant asked me to bring by.

He's settling on haunted island.

Ted Watkins. I'd like you to meet Fred

a bear runs a local bank here in Covington.

How do you do? Just walks in Pleasure to meet you.

So now

the lieutenant's been talking to me about you.

I'm very concerned about the amount of money that you're keeping in your cabin on the island.

How did you know that?

Well, you cash your retirement and disability checks with a local chain.

Mr. Joyce, the manager called me the first two times to verify the checks.

The first time you bought supplies from cash 12 at one time 12 times $1,500

is a lot of money.

I'd like to see somebody take it away from

I've seen people kill each other.

For three alligator hides worth $20 apiece.

Imagine what they do for this amount of money.

I just cashed another check.

Perhaps you're right.

Why don't we open an account.

You can have your checks sent directly to the bank

and draw them as you see fit.

I'll arrange to have interest paid on the undrawn balance.

Put your money to work for you.

Protect yourself and your money.

Now I'd like you to bring all of your money to the bank.

You know, it's not like the old days.

Banks don't fail anymore. They have federal insurance.

I'm not worried about the money.

Money by itself means nothing.

Mr. Watkins out of curiosity,

where do you keep the money?

Do you have a safe?

Heck no. I've been out on that island for three months now

without a visitor.

I keep the money where the bugs can get it.

In the breadbox

bread box. I guess it's a good place to keep bread.

Thank you, Mr. Watkins.

Certainly appreciate your business. It's nice to meet you.

Thank you. Bye

I'm sorry, but the bank can't have to extend its loan to you

extend it to the maximum this time

right we can't make a loan to you at this time

no money

me I think he got 15 Maybe $20,000 on that island right now.

Cash Money

you're here

see a asked

a man we could buy

a down payment on a damn fine shrimp

before that yeah,

you know he's a retired Ranger

you're not gonna give us the money

we're gonna have to take it from him

if we're gonna get it

we might even have to kill it

so Who the hell's gonna miss him

just be another story about that damn place

let's take a ride around the island and look at it

that way we can find out the best place to jump in

on whatever the hell we got to do.

Let me get out and take a look around

feels like quicksand

and?

Random

Can you read it

don't try to push any point

me I know there's never been no quick sand there before.

That's a strangest thing I ever saw.

fog on the island.

Quick sand in the water.

Maybe this island is harder.

Man who taught how to how to can do it.

One more minute you would have been a dead duck

or a swallowed up duck.

You stay here I'll go get the boat.

Can we can go back and pick out

our plan for the day.

Okay

so then after we looked over the whole damn app,

this crazy coup Shang got stuck in the only quicksand

I have a scene around.

It wasn't there yesterday.

Hail you both nuts.

Don't you know to live on that haunted island?

He's got to be something special in the last 10 years,

I know at least 10 people to try

to homestead that land to get that ground.

No one lasted even one night.

Well, I ain't afraid of no ghost and

no voodoo and no snake lady.

I lost everything I had in the last hurricane.

Look at the two of you.

If it weren't for the crab and in the fishing down in the bayou

you'd both be in the poor house

so a big chance

dammit he's right honey,

this could be our big chance

just think what do we do with all that money

well there's only one way we can get away with it

leave no evidence

you got to kill them so nobody will know

that we did it

you bet best not take all the money

the best leave some behind

so it don't look like no robbery

here I leave in anything for anybody else to take

and you know all that gold stuff

he wears on it

that's common with a student

what is

the best way for somebody to die on the Bayou with

all this damn water around

probably the best way would be drowning

maybe he could fall down it

he's had land in Dubai

you have a tower

magic of fire

I remove all impurities

from your body

enter

are you who the swarm people call the Voodoo lady?

I have been called that.

may I be of service to

not that time? One is inflammation.

Yes.

You want to know about the young lady that swims in the pond.

How did you know

she has spoken to me have you?

Did you know her? Well she said

she would make herself down to you

at the proper time

be careful of the water

but your man is in Pisces

let's go get

okay should be coming out soon.

This is when he usually goes fishing

I don't anybody be nervous?

You remember the planner?

He gets out on that pier we go jumping to keep quiet

don't anybody make a sound?

Don't talk Don't even pray

Cajun food. You're making more noise

than anybody else.

He's pretty big and you sure the two of you can handle them?

Yeah, we can handle it.

In case we get in any trouble you come out

and give us a hand with

I got my sash wait.

Okay, here it comes.

go get him

Bring him over here

that's Troy back down

and out in a gray box

just like he's saying in his bag

Do you see that black snake watching us

and don't worry about the snake

you can testify

we're gonna get to that?

You're You're the girl that swims in the lake,

the one that turns into a snake?

Yes. And now you exist in the world of the living dead.

I don't understand

and you will learn.

I am going to tell you my story,

the story of all

you have been given the honor to represent

all of the people from this time forward on this place of our fathers

till the prophecy has been fulfilled.

Yes, I know.

I have been well instructed since my birth

first by my mother,

been by my father,

then by the high priests.

I speak of a boys from beyond.

But I do not understand

Why me?

Come child, the time has come for you

to start on your path or destiny,

I have fear in me,

must I go,

the fear will pass and

the pain will be with you no more

you allowed to learn the secrets

that I have had in my life?

Or is it now my

why me?

What am I to do have no fear for you as a chosen one,

you are to cross over and live in the two worlds,

this one and the next, because you are the chosen one.

Now, I shall call forth your guide,

one from the other world,

so that you will know each other

and be as one come forward from the past,

who has wealth and tab displays

as a guide for our people

come forward.

You have called me for the last time

by now leave my work with a new young Gambella

The Chosen One shall take my place,

and live between the two worlds,

this one and the next,

you shall be the spirit of good.

And this shall be your domain.

You can take on any shape you like,

or no shape at all.

We'll find that the cool body of the reptile

will be your favorite resting place

as it was mine.

Or you see,

your destiny has been preset in the annals of time.

You are to live in crossover between this world

and the next as I have for 3000 years.

Until you feel the prophecy of our forefathers,

for you are the last,

the last to dwell here.

As your time comes to an end,

you will bring one with you

and it shall be done.

But the one you bring will not be like us.

You will be a man unusual,

and the prophecy shall be fulfilled.

This will be your place,

the wind, the rain, and the elements shall hear you as their mother,

for you will be as and if you call me

I shall answer your will and

our ancestors who have passed before

have told us in the future time to come.

It is all here in the cloud of knowledge.

Read to us all high priestess and

tell us what is to become a must.

And this earth upon which we dwell

time of our people and

all life shall go to the south

where the conquerors will extinguish your fire

and bring misery and dejection

but our time shall return or

the other world into which we pass

will be best for us.

Have you chosen one,

we'll find one such as I found you.

Who is worthy to join us.

Whoever you find worthy.

I will take as mine.

I now sprinkle dust on my way.

This dust was once my body and now

it shall be yours as yours in Islam.

You will join those who refuse to leave this earth

after death and live on the verge of imperfections and impurity

and return to crossover as they will.

And now your time has come.

But remember, I will always be at your call

for your name is now damn Bella

Take this cup and drink the juice of the flower

forget

return in the office

answers?

I can't believe it can't be true.

Ted. When I found you

you were facedown in the water

your spirit had already left your body

yes I remember

I was going on a long journey and

a voice it was your voice

called me back

we must join up souls for

eternity we are now ready

for the next part of that

told you we could do it

it went easy didn't it?

I don't know Max. I have a funny feeling

about what kind of fun it feels

we won't have to work for years

I can still see his body floating in water.

Ah forget about him

can you get away get it out of here

get out of here

we come to give ourselves off

sit down

give yourselves up. Do you want to tell me

I don't think I can do

that we come to give ourselves up.

We went to the island

and when we hit the Ranger on the head

and We drowned him in the bayou and

we stole his money

and Otona

fairy tale time again

anyway, wants a fairy tale.

Looks like it's our lucky day.

These two nuts claim they went to your haunted island.

Killed Ted Watkins

stole his money

came here to give themselves up

No matter where you squirrels

This isn't April Fool's Day

no Lieutenant it's true and

that's not the best spot

me I got a story you won't believe

it's a matter of fact

I can hardly believe it myself

but do you think

did they kill Watkins and Robin

or they've been smoking

if they did they did it in their dreams

it takes six have that kind of the guts and

the know how doing that

Ranger

well

lock them up but don't charge it will say

we're holding them in protective custody.

We don't want to give them a chance for a false arrest charge

against the parish

Yeah, I know what's next.

Back to the damn boat.

Little rot in the swamp see if it's true.

Back to the haunted island

maybe right.

I've seen it before.

They're very rare

it was sent by the heavens to mark this place.

The island of our people my island

and as it was predicted,

you sent to me

all my life. I've been very fortunate.

Just playing lucky

I should have been killed first Korea and

then Vietnam

out of 300 men I was the only survivor

I was badly wounded

but now I'm here perhaps this is the reason

Yes. You have passed all tests

I have been waiting

just a minute believe this

I know I know everything

Oh wait I got two guys down at the station

that confessed to killing you know all about it.

I got the money here that they said they took from you.

From what I've heard you coming from a long way off.

I got you some cold there

no harm done.

I got a little love tap. And I bet they got the scare of their lives.

I can't understand it.

Versus haunted island bull.

Murder that doesn't happen.

Money, water and blood on it.

I can't believe it

the book possessions

Money is not everything.

Oh, it's all there. We should count it for us.

All counted later. What's important to me?

Is my metal and bracelet

I fish that girl out of the pond.

Occasionally she comes in to help me.

She calls us out then Bella.

Which Academy

see you have your middle back

How is your little boy?

Understand he was very sick.

But now he is getting better.

Yes, he is better. Thank you.

But the old lady

Do you know the old lady? Oh, yes.

Very well.

Sawsan back I am sorry to hear about your mother.

But of course she was 88

What do you make of all this?

I can't believe it

murder that didn't happen

would have killed them both.

If the effect the island had on you,

I am going to call them both back here

if he's not something to be taken for granted.

When one does bad one

must be punished and kind
