Original subtitles

Hurry, father... they're coming...

Oh God.

That's it... that's all we can do.

Come on out, Bow...

My father would like a word with you.

Go away, Jason... before they get you!

Go away...

Before they eat you.

We'll get you, Bow...

Just you wait.

Oh, shit!

Dear Lord... forgive me for what I have done...

"...and the big news in Akron tonight is the unexplained appearance..."

"...of grotesque, flesh-eating humans..."

"...at first thought to be the publicity stunt of local movie producers Anso Studios' THE ZOMBIE DOCTORS."

"Channel 5 has now learned that this grotesque happening is..."

"...in fact, a reality..."

"...and one that is quickly spreading as more and more of these human cannibals appear throughout this area."

"Word from Civil Defense units handling the situation..."

"...is that these creatures are, in fact, dead."

"Uh, well... not dead, perhaps, but rather undead."

"And the Mayor has issued a state of emergency..."

"...but wants to assure us that the situation is under control."

"We'll be right back after these messages."

Oh, get the seat belt!

"...the number you have reached has been disconnected."

"No further information is available..."

"Are we on?"

"Uh, this news just in..."

"...it seems that the Mayor has been... attacked by these creatures...

"Washington, D.C. has been notified of these proceedings..."

"...and the President is preparing to arm the city with the military force necessary to return to normalcy."

"This broadcast will be extended..."

"To repeat, THE JEFFERSONS and SANFORD & SON will not be shown at their regularly-scheduled time this evening."

"Word at present..."

"...is that the creatures have now penetrated this station..."

"Let's not waste our time with them..."

"Let's just get inside."

"Mercer... check out the back of the house."

"Yeah, okay."

They've been in here...

Let's spread out...

...and be careful.

Richards...

Come on.

Damn it!

Have a nice day.

Richards... out the window!

You alright?

Y-yeah... yeah, sure.

Damn things...

...look at it!

Why won't they die?

The thing's head's off its body for Christ's sakes!

Doesn't it know that??

No, Richards... I guess they don't know much of anything.

Not anymore, anyway.

But look at it!

It's trying to eat us, but it doesn't have a mouth!!

Why?

Why??

How's the rest of downstairs look?

We were too late here...

...as usual.

Looks like just the two people lived here.

No sign of any struggle, though.

Richards, what's taking so long?

Nothin', captain...

...nothin'.

Ow, shit...!!

Bastard!!

We've got to go... they're coming.

Kuller, help Raimi bring Richards.

We have to get him to a med unit.

Yeah, right!

You name one and we'll take him there.

There hasn't been a med unit between here and Richmond in months.

Now listen, Raimi, what do you suggest we do?

Leave him here for those things to eat?

Yeah...

What?

Make him leave me here, Raimi...

I'm infected now...

...and I'd be one of them by the time we reach a med unit.

I'd rather be a zombie meal than become one of those...

No...

...maybe Moulsson has found a cure!

Yeah, right.

Moulsson's about as useful as the government he's working for.

All right.

If that's the way you want it.

Kuller, go find Mercer and tell him we're leaving.

Richards, I...

Oh, shit!

Mer-cer!!

Oh shit...

Where's Mercer, Kuller?

I dunno...

...wasn't my turn to watch him.

Wonderful.

What's wrong, Mercer?

Zombies... hundreds of 'em...

...they're coming through the field!

Let's get out of here.

It's time to report in to Washington and get a replacement for Richards.

Replacement?

Yeah.

Well, at least we're home.

Yeah... four of us anyway.

Why won't they go home?

If those zombies come around, they're gonna get eaten.

Ah, they've been here ever since those things got the President.

They actually want us to protect the zombies.

Come on.

Wow, this is some good shit, man!

Hey Randalls...

You're still alive?

I thought those zombies would have escaped from your cheap cages by now!

Hey Raimi, you gotta come catch this flick, man...

...it'll help you with your zombie-killing!

Yeah, we'll see Randalls!

I'll be back up later.

Alright, later dude.

You guys up for a visit to Doctor Moulsson's torture chamber?

Let's go.

Not me... I'm gonna get some rest.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. Just tired I guess.

Okay, we'll check in with you later.

I think Doctor J should have a look at her.

Yeah... and the rest of us, too. I...

Did I hear my name mentioned, soldiers?

What's up, doc?

J, I'd appreciate if you'd take a look at our girl Kuller when you can.

That's what they don't pay me for, Captain!

I think she went down to the resting rooms.

I'll check her out for you.

Oh, by the way, Doctor Moulsson wants to see you guys!

We were just on our way down there.

You two go ahead... I'll go with Doctor J and check on Kuller.

Okay.

Tell her I'll be up to see her in a bit.

Bye!

Bring the window down.

Not that much... not that much!!

Hey, it's about time! We got us a feisty bunch here!

Hey, you roll it down this time.

You guys ready?

Close it! Close it!

Oh, shit!!

Come on Franklin, let's go... come on...

Jeez, things are heavy!

Well, what have we here?

More cut-'em-ups, doc. Squad 319 just brought 'em in.

One of 'em got bit moving the bastards.

Thanks, doc. I gotta go...

This lady gets dragged through the woods and split in half in this movie we got on.

These look like some good specimens, Doctor.

Yes, very good, Franklin.

Well, Doctor Savini! Late again I see.

I wish you'd please return these samples on time from now on.

I'm extremely busy, Doctor Moulsson.

The things you're asking me to do take time.

Next time I'll have it...

The next time you'll have it here on time, Doctor Savini... or else!

Don't kid yourself. We don't use you for intelligent things around here!

We have zombies that can do the things I ask of you in half the time!

Now please leave, you're making me nauseous.

Bye-bye.

How's the blood and guts business, Moulsson?

Oh, I should ask you the same, Mister Raimi.

What's with this one, doc?

Ah, that is Vox, one of our research zombies.

Vox is something that Franklin and I have been toying with.

This computer board in his throat enables him to form words.

You mean this thing can talk?

In a way, yes.

He seemed to form words with his mouth, miming us talking, so we gave him that ability.

Watch.

Hel-lo.

Woah!

Feed me, I'm hung-ry.

Quiet, Vox!

If you took away Vox's lips and tongue, however...

Speaking of tongues, come here.

You know, we've found a way to counteract the zombie virus.

It'll take a trip to Akron, Ohio, however.

So it is the serum Bow created.

Precisely.

Rather than bringing the dead to limited life like Bow intended...

...the serum reactivated the dead cells, then began to feed on them.

After it fed on the flesh and blood it needed to survive, the virus caused the corpse to act as a slave...

...to find more food for the virus.

And if the corpse didn't keep feeding the virus...

...it would eventually be entirely consumed by it...

...and then the virus would have to devour itself.

In a way, sort of committing its own suicide.

If the corpse went unfed, it would die off, killing the virus.

Yeah, but that takes too long.

Right... the average person takes about a month.

But with all the corpses that die off every day...

...the remaining ones infect new people, making things a bit more difficult on us all.

But with this new serum change...

...well, we can kill a corpse in as little as... two hours.

That's not going to help us militarily, you know.

True...

...it is about as useless as a squirt gun in hand-to-hand combat.

You see, the virus is the only thing alive in the corpse...

...it is separate from its dead carrier.

That's heavy.

Yes. Here's a demonstration of what I mean.

This human tongue was injected about an hour ago...

...with some of Vox's blood.

Far out.

Yes.

As you can see, it is still alive although it's been separated from its corpse.

Now what we must do is go to Akron, Ohio...

...to find Bow's original serum.

With it, we can change its structure and create an anti-viral serum.

Oh boy...

...the Captain's gonna love this.

Oh, I'm sure he will.

I think we should leave tomorrow morning.

The sooner we get there, the sooner we can end this mess.

I'll start organizing our supplies.

Wha...??

More food...

...feed me...

Franklin, get a tourniquet... quickly!

Franklin, hurry!!

Well, Mister Raimi...

If we don't find that serum in the next few days...

...our Mister Mercer's going to develop an insatiable appetite for flesh and blood.

Will do. Thanks, Commander.

That's it then.

We leave on Moulsson's excursion at 6 AM.

We pick up the keys to the Bow house at the Columbus station.

What about Mercer?

Perry's letting him go.

I hope we don't lose him like we did Romero and King.

Here's the paperwork.

What's going on?

Ah, the zombies are attacking those stupid protestors.

I don't know why people want to protect those things.

So this is where it all began, eh?

Nice place.

Yeah.

Grass could use a cut, though.

Maybe we can get Moulsson to cut it.

I doubt that.

What's the deal, Captain?

I dunno... must be this key.

Typical government crap.

I wonder where Bow kept his lab.

I think I got it...

Whatever it is, don't give it to us.

I think I got it...

I think I...

...got it!!

Shit, get them off me!!

No... no...

Wait! Wait!!

Who the hell is that?

Help me... don't close the door, please!

Okay...

...so who's our new arrival?

Electricity's still on.

I'm not one of them... my name is Vincent.

I-I work for a church not far away from here.

I-I was just out scouting the area, you see, that...

...that's my job at the church.

It's a good church...

My girlfriend Anna sings there, she's... she's a great singer.

She's really good, and... and...

I'm one of the assistants to our pastor, Reverend Jones.

Maybe you've heard of him?

You see, we're the only people around in the whole city...

Maybe we can help you out, depending on what you're looking for.

Captain, I think we should check out this house.

Right.

You and Kuller go downstairs.

Mercer, come with me and check out the rest of this place.

Okay.

Moulsson, you and Franklin keep our newcomer here and see if he can help us.

Certainly.

Shall we go into the kitchen for some coffee?

Be careful, Raimi.

Creepy place.

Just right for some zombies.

Yeah.

Oh shit.

Nothing here...

Yeah...

Who is it?

It's Doctor Bow.

What's that?

It's a diary that belongs to Bow's daughter, Anna.

That must be Anna.

I wonder what happened to her...

...or to Bow for that matter.

According to Moulsson, Bow wasn't killed by his zombies.

Yeah...

...pretty strange.

Maybe he was hiding from someone.

I'll read Anna's diary and see what I can find out.

Hey...

What are you doing?

Nothing... nothing.

Lloyds, come in. This is Commander Carpenter.

Go ahead, Commander.

I found Vincent, he's here at the Bow house.

He's got other people with him...

...they look like soldiers.

Tell the Reverend I'm gonna watch 'em for awhile.

Okay. Lloyds out.

So you say you have a church colony around here, eh, Vincent?

Uh, yes, it... it belongs to our Reverend Jones.

What kind of work do you do there?

I noticed that Akron is cleaned out of zombies...

...did your people do that?

Our church is involved in strictly religious work as set forth by our Reverend.

We're aiding God in his attempts to rid the sins of the earth.

How's that?

Isn't it obvious, Mister Raimi?

The dead are coming to life...

...it's God's way of annihilating all living forms.

This is our punishment, as it was for Doctor Bow.

Vincent, Bow was a victim of his own stupidity.

We just all get to pay for his mistakes.

No, that's not true! It is my religion that is right!

Well, does your religion include eavesdropping on Raimi and Kuller last night?

He what?

I was just seeing if anyone was still awake.

Yeah...

I'll bet.

Franklin...

Franklin!

What? What is it?

This is it!

Bow's viral compound... I've found it!

My God, you're right!

Why didn't we think of these additives before?

I don't know... but I've got to tell them!

Hey!

It's here, we found it!

Wonderful!

We're going to get started on it!

Good...

...maybe now we can get rid of those damned things.

No... you can't... you musn't destroy them...

What did you say?

No!

Son of a bitch!

What the hell was that?

Dammit!!

That little weasel...

Here's looking at you, kid...

Dammit!

I knew we shouldn't have trusted that son-of-a-bitch!

Come on, Mercer...

...let's go get the son-of-a-bitch...

Be careful, Mercer!! You're injured!

He's dead.

Damn it!

What is the Reverend going to do with all these guys?

Well, we're saving them, Powers...

...only the Reverend knows what we will do with them.

Carpenter, what's going on?

It's those intruders at the Bow house that I told you about...

...they shot Vincent!

Good boy, Jason...

You're not like the others, are you? Hmm?

Of course he's not like the others, father! He's my brother!

True, Anna, he is.

But, I only meant that...

Come in.

Reverend Jones!

Yes, Lloyds.

Commander Carpenter just brought Vincent back from his patrol, sir...

...and he's been shot!

What? Shot?!

How?

He found a group of government people over at the Bow house...

...they're here to find Doctor Bow's serum to destroy the living corpses...

...they shot him...

Where is he?

He's down in the infirmary...

May I go see him, father?

Yes... yes, of course, my dear.

Lloyds...

Anna musn't find anything out about Doctor Bow.

Is that understood?

Yessir.

Good. Now let's go see Vincent.

Well, Powers... I guess this is it...

No, no...

Reverend Jones will be able to heal you...

He can't heal me...

No one can heal me now.

Protect Anna...

There's a gun in his desk...

...get it for her...

Ssssh...

Hey, hey... a soldier... run!!

Hey... wait!!

A dog collar?

You can't die, Vincent...

I love you.

I love you too, Anna...

How are you doing, Vincent?

Not well, Reverend...

Those soldiers...

...they're tampering with Doctor Bow's serum, to kill the dead...

Sssh, Vincent, I know, I know... they're tampering with Doctor Bow's serum, to kill the dead...

Sssh, Vincent, I know, I know...

Commander Carpenter explained everything to me.

You said they were at the Doctor's house?

Y-yeah... yeah...

You know what to do with him.

Have Powers assist you.

Hush, my child. Everything will be alright.

It's a damned cult...

Vincent would have wanted it this way.

Holy shit...

Father, who is the Doctor Bow that everyone is talking about?

Please father, tell me.

He was someone important in my life, wasn't he?

Don't I have a right to know?

Doctor Bow was a scientist in the community, that's all.

No, that's not true...

...there's something you're not telling me!

Why is everyone trying to act as if nothing is going on?

Anna, just forget it!

It was a long time ago!

I don't care!

Anna...

Why are you trying to hide him from me?

There's something you're not telling me, father!

Raimi... where the hell have you been?

I found Vincent's little church... it's a religious cult...

They're keeping zombies in the basement, and in cages...

They fed Vincent to them...

They were sacrificing some girl, too...

...and there's a girl resembling Bow's daughter...

...named Anna...

Powers, what are you doing in here?!

I... uh... Vincent told me...

Vincent?!

Come in, Columbus.

This is Zombie Squad Unit 205 in Akron.

Come in, Columbus. Over.

That's it.

It's done.

Yes it is.

But we need a specimen to try it out on, before we use it on Mercer.

Mister Raimi, I believe that is your job!

Well, you're not going to find a zombie around here.

I'm going to have to steal one from Jones's church.

Do what you must.

Let's go, Kuller.

What are you doing?

It could take them hours to get a zombie.

I'm going to give Mercer the serum now.

Doctor Moulsson, but...

Doctor, what if you..

...we made a mistake with the serum?

What would happen to Mercer?

Nothing will happen to Mercer, Doctor Franklin.

I would stake my hat and my life on it!

The sons-o' bitches are stealing Jason!

We better tell the Reverend.

Yeah, let's fry the bastards...

Do you think Jones's people will come after us?

I hope not.

This one appears to be Jones's pet.

I think Jones killed Doctor Bow.

Why do say that?

Because of Anna's diary.

She says her father was having some sort of conflict with him.

And in Bow's log book, he mentions Jones didn't like his experiments.

Well, seeing what Vincent did to the Captain, that doesn't surprise me.

We'll be alright.

If Jones decides to pull something...

...we'll be ready for him.

There you go.

Lloyds, what's going on?

We're going after the people who killed Vincent.

Have you seen Powers?

Huh-uh, no... why?

She said she was going to get a gun for me...

...that I needed to protect myself against someone in the church...

...but I can't find her!

You don't need a gun. I'll see you.

Moulsson...

Did you give Mercer something?

Huh? Yes. Yes I did.

I gave him the serum.

You what??

I had to.

I had no idea how dangerous Jones's people were.

For all I knew, you would have never come back!

Besides, I'm sure it will work... no doubts.

You son of a bitch...

If anything happens to him, I swear I'll...

You'll do nothing, soldier.

Nothing will happen!

C-Come on...

Find those people!

C'mon, let's go get them!

Who the hell...?

What?

What is it?

It's Jones's people.

Come on, we gotta move.

Holy shit!

C'mon, Luther... find them solders!

Get Moulsson and Franklin.

Shit!

Moulsson...

Where's the duffel bag you and Franklin brought?

Right here, the serum's in it!

Yeah... so is our escape route!

Reverend Jones!!

What is it, Carpenter?

T-T-They shot some people...

What?

Heel, heel boy!

What is it, Luther? You smell some soldiers in there?

Well go in there, flush 'em out and bite their little you-know-what's off!

Carpenter...

It is imperative that your people find those soldiers!

What the...?

Agh! 'Nam flashbacks... 'Nam flashbacks!

Shit!

Carpenter... find out what's going on!

No!

C'mon, let's go!

Get them!

Raimi, the trees...!

Reverend Jones!

Jason's back here...

...and they left one of their soldiers behind!

Dammit!

How in the hell could we have forgotten Mercer?

Can't we go back and get him?

It's too risky with the cult back there.

I don't know, Moulsson's serum will probably kill him before that cult will...

Now wait a minute, Raimi...

Shut up, Moulsson!!

They probably will take him back to the church.

We'll go there at dawn, it's too risky now.

You and Franklin just wait here.

Not on your life, Raimi...

...we're responsible for this mess.

Have it your way.

Yeah... they're in.

Excellent.

Make sure your men stay away from them.

I want them led to the altar room.

You got it.

You may rise.

Revelations...

20:12 says:

"And I saw the dead..."

"...small and great..."

"...stand before God..."

"...and the books were opened, and another book..."

Welcome to Sunday School...

"...and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

It is our day to judge, brothers and sisters.

To follow the calling set forth by our Lord God above.

Several slaves of the heathenous government...

...have infiltrated the serenity and peace of our church, my children.

They have violently attacked and murdered my aides...

...Vincent and Lloyds...

...activities which the Lord Himself saw fit to endow myself and our people with.

And in our attempts to deal with these people...

...many of our dear brothers and sisters were lost.

They used witchcraft...

...originated by Doctor Bow...

...to ruthlessly decay Jason...

My son, Jason!

However, God saw fit for these sinners to leave behind one of their cohorts...

...for he has been subjected to their witchcraft!

And he himself...

...is now one of the dead...

...which God has risen from the grave!

Welcome, murderers!

It's about time!

Anna... no!

Father...

...they killed Vincent!

It is Bow's daughter...

I'll get Mercer down, Raimi.

Yeah, okay.

Who are the real heathens here, Jones?

You, some quack Reverend who nails an innocent man to a board...

...and keeps hundreds of zombies in your basement...

feeding them with people like Vincent...

We are protecting our dead from you people!

If it is God's wish to destroy us with our own kind...

...then so be it!

Do not touch him!

Good Lord, the serum is working!

Thank you for removing that, Franklin...

Mercer?

Raimi... the natives are getting restless!

Did you see Mercer? He's a zombie now!

Yeah, your damned serum didn't work!!

No, no, it worked...

Didn't you see the other zombie?

With Mercer...

...with him it just mixed in with his flesh cells that were still living...

He wasn't dead when I gave it to him!

Parts of him are infected by the virus, but the rest...

...the rest of him is still human!

That's why he can talk!

Yeah... chalk one up for science...

Father!!

No...

Not your real one, anyway.

I must fulfill the prophecy...

Get out...

No, father...

In your office, I found Powers...

She's dead!

Sssh-sssh...

I know...

I killed her...

I killed her just like I killed Doctor Bow...

Leave the church quickly, Anna...

Wake up, my children...

It's feeding time!

Shit...

God damn it!

What's that?

I dunno, but it can't be good.

Here...

Take these and go wait in the wagon.

Give Moulsson one of your pistols.

What are you going to do?

Get Mercer back!

Come on!

Be careful!

Keep going, Raimi, I'll meet you outside!

Raimi, go!!

Moulsson...

This is your fault.

Get off me, you bastards!

See what you did to me, Moulsson?

I'm going to rip you to shreds for this.

The telephone...

Bastard...

Aren't you going to bite me?

No, but I'm going to get Moulsson.

Where is he?

Down the hall...

I think the cult got him.

You wanna come with us?

No, man...

I'm a zombie now.

Whatever you do, don't use Moulsson's serum...

Don't use it on someone unless they're really dead.

I'm gonna kill you for what you did to Vincent.

No, Anna, wait...

How do you know who I am?

You're Doctor Bow's daughter, Anna.

No, I'm Reverend Jones's daughter!

No, you're not!

Look here!

That's you, with Doctor Bow.

No...

You're lying!

No, I'm not.

Jones kidnapped you when he and his cult murdered your father.

No...

Reverend Jones is my father, soldier!

Yes, get me Doctor Savini!

Are you sure you don't want to talk to Doctor Moulsson?

No, this is Doctor Moulsson, for God's sakes!

Get Savini!

This way...

There's someone bigger to kill.

Oh shit...

There we go...

No, Savini, no!!

No, eight grams! EIGHT!

18?

Listen to me... for once in your life, get something right, Savini!

Eight?

Yes, eight grams.

NO, FOR GOD'S SAKE, SAVINI, GET IT RIGHT!!

He's in here...

Oh God.

What?

What was it, goular?

No, no, not goular!

That's not what I said, Savini!

Listen to me, I'm about to get killed here!

Do you have the serum?

Yeah...

Good.

There's one very important thing:

You can't give that to someone unless...

What? Unless what?

Shit!

Man, I'm really busy and I don't have any time for you pushin' me around.

You wanna know something?

You and Franklin don't acknowledge my work, and I'm kinda sick of it.

Savini?

Now there's just one important thing...

Savini?

Dammit!

Knock it off, bastards!

Stop it!

We're gonna get in there, Moulsson...

...and when we do...

...I'm gonna shut you up...

Ha! What are you going to do? Rip out my tongue?

Yeah...

Something like that.

Come on, Raimi...

You son of a bitch...

No, dammit... dammit!!

Dammit!

Stop it, you bastards!

Mercer, you asshole!

Give me back my hat!

No, not the tongue... not the tongue...

You talk too much.

Mercer?

I copied the serum down word for word.

I know I didn't make any mistakes!

I don't know... he doesn't look too well.

He looks like Mercer did when Moulsson gave him the serum.

I hope whatever you gave him worked, Doctor Savini.

How do you feel?

I don't like this at all.

Well, did Moulsson's serum work on you?

Oh God...

You gave him Moulsson's serum?

Can't you do anything right, Savini?

Kuller?

You mean that's it?
