Adventures of Superman 1x18

1. Faster than a speeding bullet.

2. More powerful than a locomotive.

3. Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound.

4. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird!

5. It's a plane! It's Superman!

6. Yes, it's Superman,

7. strange visitor from another planet

8. who came to Earth with powers and abilities

9. far beyond those of mortal men.

10. Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers,

11. bend steel in his bare hands,

12. and who, disguised as Clark Kent,

13. mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,

14. fights a never-ending battle

15. for truth, justice and the American way.

16. And now, another exciting episode

17. in the Adventures of Superman!

18. That's the last piece of film I got from her.

19. Let's see, today's the 15th.

20. A week ago Friday.

21. Ten days.

22. We haven't a word from Jim in over a week either.

23. I ought to have my head examined.

24. That sister of mine's crazy enough.

25. I had to send Olsen to Haiti with her.

26. Two irresponsible nuts. A fine pair.

27. Mmm, Haitian officials can't find a trace of them?

28. Nothing.

29. I've spent $200 on phone calls.

30. I don't like it, Kent.

31. I don't like it one bit.

32. Did you see the face

33. on that voodoo doctor or whatever he was?

34. He knew he was being photographed.

35. Chief, suppose I fly down there and just take a look around?

36. It's a good idea.

37. I have got two tickets on the midnight Pan Am Clipper.

38. Two? Yes, I'm going with you.

39. Oh, chief, you don't have to make the trip.

40. In fact, I'll do much better alone.

41. I think I can make my own decisions alone.

42. That's just what I'm afraid of.

43. What? Oh, nothing, chief. Nothing.

44. I had the boys make a blow-up of this voodoo doctor,

45. just in case.

46. I hope your sister and Jim aren't in his hands.

47. So do I.

48. Well, you better go home and get packed.

49. Our plane leaves in 55 minutes.

50. Right!

51. This is Haiti, Messieurs.

52. Our police methods are somewhat different

53. than those in the United States,

54. because our problems are not the same.

55. However, my government has instructed me

56. to give you every assistance within my power.

57. This I gladly do.

58. Good. What do you suggest, Mr. Bergeret?

59. What can I suggest?

60. The gendarmerie have searched the entire island

61. for your sister and the young man Olsen.

62. It is unfortunate.

63. That drum, is that a voodoo drum?

64. No, Monsieur.

65. Voodoo is no longer practiced in Haiti,

66. except perhaps in secret.

67. Sounds like a voodoo drum to me.

68. That drum is only talking,

69. sending a message to someone back in the bush.

70. Do you understand what it's saying?

71. No, Monsieur.

72. Unfortunately, that course was not included

73. in the curriculum at Harvard University.

74. Tamboo say

75. two white men talk to Antoine Bergeret

76. in hotel.

77. This was taken from the last piece of film

78. my sister sent back to the States.

79. Mmm, these would appear to be a voodoo doctor.

80. But on the other hand, sometimes photographers...

81. How you say?

82. Arrange such things.

83. Not my sister.

84. When she takes a picture of a voodoo doctor,

85. you can be sure it's the McCoy, the real thing.

86. If this is the real thing,

87. then your sister's peril is also very real.

88. But only the ignorant and the superstitious

89. believe in the powers of voodoo,

90. and the ignorant and the superstitious

91. are always dangerous.

92. If you don't need me, I think I'll take a little walk.

93. I'm curious about that drum.

94. If you will allow me to suggest, Monsieur Kent,

95. the Haitian bush is not the best place for a stranger,

96. especially at night.

97. Well... Of course not.

98. Stay where you are.

99. When we go into the bush,

100. we'll take a competent guide with us.

101. I shall be happy to supply

102. a detachment of gendarme to accompany you, Monsieur.

103. No, let's leave the police out of this.

104. Just get me a good guide who speaks English.

105. I have a hunch if we find this bird,

106. we'll find my sister and Olsen.

107. There are two men here who know the jungle quite well:

108. an American and an Englishman.

109. One of them...

110. Come in!

111. I mean, entrez.

112. I hope I'm not intruding. Certainly not.

113. As a matter of fact, I was about to mention your name.

114. Oh?

115. These gentlemen were just inquiring

116. as to someone who could guide them into the back country.

117. Mr. White and Mr. Kent,

118. permit me to introduce Mr. William Johnson,

119. one of the men I spoke of.

120. How do you do? It's a pleasure, Mr. White.

121. How do you do? How do you do, Mr. Kent?

122. Won't you sit down? Thank you.

123. I heard some drum talk back in the hills a short time ago.

124. It said that two white strangers were having a conference

125. with Monsieur Bergeret here at the hotel,

126. so I figured it had something to do

127. with the missing photographer and her assistant.

128. The drums spoke of Miss White?

129. No, that was merely an assumption on my part.

130. Which turned out to be correct.

131. And now, if you gentlemen will excuse me,

132. I have some reports to get out.

133. And if you need any official assistance

134. from the Haitian government,

135. please do not hesitate to call on me.

136. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'll see you out.

137. What's that drum saying now, Mr. Johnson?

138. Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't listening to the drum.

139. Did you happen to meet Miss White

140. while she was here in Cap-Haïtien?

141. Yes, I had the pleasure of meeting her

142. and her assistant, um... Nelson, I believe.

143. Olsen. Jim Olsen. Yes.

144. We met at a party at Monsieur Bergeret's home.

145. Incidentally...

146. who's this ugly brute?

147. That's what we came down here to find out.

148. Bergeret tells me

149. you've spent over 12 years down here in Haiti.

150. Yes, I'm sort of an amateur explorer

151. and do a little writing.

152. Would you be interested

153. in guiding us into the bush country?

154. If you're looking for him, Mr. White,

155. he's a bokor, a voodoo doctor.

156. I've managed to stay healthy down here

157. by keeping out of voodoo.

158. You don't believe in voodoo?

159. I believe in sharp knives and poisons.

160. If your sister and young Olsen

161. have been unfortunate enough

162. to fall into the hands of voodoo cultists,

163. my advice to you is to forget about them

164. and go back to the States.

165. We can do without that kind of advice, Mr. Johnson.

166. Then at least have the good sense to keep out of the jungle.

167. Let the Haitian gendarmes handle it.

168. That's what they're paid for.

169. Good night, gentlemen. Good night.

170. Of all the conceited... Shh!

171. Good evening, gentlemen. Sorry if I seem to be eavesdropping.

172. Seem to be?

173. Matter of fact, I wasn't.

174. Just didn't want to tangle up with Johnson.

175. We have a tendency to grate on each other's nerves.

176. Who are you and what do you want?

177. I'm Dr. Leland Masters.

178. You're Miss White's brother, I take it?

179. I am. Strong family resemblance.

180. Cranial structure very similar.

181. Anthropologist. I notice these things.

182. This is Mr. Kent. Bergeret told me about him.

183. He's the Englishman who's familiar with the bush country.

184. Ought to be.

185. Spent the last 8 years tramping though it, measuring skulls.

186. Ethnology. Tiresome work.

187. Don't know why I ever took it up.

188. Dr. Masters, did you hear anything of particular interest

189. to you while you were standing at that window?

190. I heard Johnson give you some good advice

191. about staying out of the bush.

192. Heard him give you some better advice

193. about not getting mixed up in voodoo.

194. Then I take it you wouldn't be interested

195. in guiding us into the bush country?

196. I didn't say that. Said it was a good place to stay away from.

197. But if you want to go in there

198. looking for your sister and the boy, I'll take you.

199. Tomorrow morning? Seven-thirty?

200. We'll be ready. Would you care to go out that way?

201. No, I'll go through the garden,

202. the way I came in.

203. Just a moment, doctor.

204. How did you know we were here?

205. I heard a Rada drum talking.

206. I savvy that drum talk.

207. It isn't mine.

208. I know.

209. Johnson left it.

210. Well, at least we've got a guide.

211. I wonder. What do you mean?

212. Ever notice how clean and fresh it is down here, chief?

213. No soot, no grime.

214. What?

215. I said no soot, no grime.

216. Of course not, this is a tropical island,

217. not Pittsburgh.

218. Well, I think I'll go to bed, chief.

219. At 8:00? What's the matter with you, Kent?

220. A little while ago, you wanted to take a walk.

221. Now you want to go to bed. I'm sorry, but...

222. You've got to stay here and go over those maps with me

223. and help plan tomorrow's trip into the bush.

224. Can't we do it in the morning?

225. All right, I'll do it myself.

226. Good night, chief. Good night.

227. Mademoiselle White, you would like me to remove

228. those heavy iron chains from your wrists?

229. You still think they are made of paper?

230. They are not made of paper.

231. They are made of heavy iron...

232. heavy, heavy iron...

233. are they not?

234. Yes.

235. I will remove them if you will tell me

236. what you were doing in the secret corridor of the Citadel.

237. Tell me!

238. I was taking pictures.

239. Pictures of what?

240. What secrets have you learned?

241. I don't know.

242. Tell me!

243. I don't remember.

244. Go back, then, to your cell, and think,

245. and think until you do remember.

246. Miss White?

247. Yes?

248. Those chains on your wrist,

249. they're only paper, you can break them.

250. No.

251. They're made of iron.

252. They're only paper, I'll break them for you.

253. No!

254. Only Legbu can break these chains.

255. If anyone else breaks them, I will die.

256. You won't die. No, no!

257. Please, no!

258. All right, I won't touch them.

259. Tell me, do you know where Jim Olsen is?

260. You remember Jim Olsen, don't you?

261. They got you too, huh, Jim?

262. Superman!

263. You all right? Sure.

264. But, golly, how did you ever find me?

265. Never mind about that now.

266. What's happened to Miss White?

267. She drank some tea at Bergeret's house.

268. Tea? Yeah.

269. I didn't drink any.

270. I don't know whether Mr. Johnson or Dr. Masters drank any.

271. They were there at Bergeret's place?

272. Yeah. I know Miss White drank some because I saw her.

273. Go on.

274. Well, there must've been something in it.

275. What makes you think so?

276. Because of what happened after.

277. We left Bergeret's place and came up here to the Citadel.

278. And a bunch of guys jumped out of the bushes and grabbed us.

279. Talk fast, someone's coming.

280. That voodoo man, Legbu,

281. brought us into an underground room,

282. and he put paper chains on us

283. and told us they were iron.

284. Well, Miss White believed him,

285. so I figured she must be drugged.

286. So I pretended like I believed them too,

287. until I could get a chance to beat it and get help.

288. Start digging.

289. Stop digging.

290. Turn!

291. Of what hidden things did the woman take pictures?

292. I don't know. You know!

293. I don't know.

294. When you find the secret passage to Christophe's treasure,

295. I will remove this iron chain.

296. Yes.

297. Turn.

298. Dig!

299. It's all right. He's gone.

300. Golly, why didn't you grab him?

301. That's the guy that got Miss White hypnotized or something.

302. No one can be hypnotized against his will, Jim.

303. No, you were right the first time.

304. He's controlling her mind. She's drugged.

305. What'll we do?

306. Just keep up your act until I get back.

307. That Legbu's crazy!

308. Boy, I'd like to get away from here.

309. You will, don't worry,

310. just as soon as I find out who's behind all this.

311. See you later.

312. Great Caesar's ghost,

313. are you gonna wear that outfit into the jungle?

314. I thought it might be better

315. if I waited and talked to Mr. Bergeret.

316. I telephoned him earlier. He said he'd come over.

317. You don't want to go into the jungle?

318. I think I can do more good here, chief.

319. Where it's nice and safe.

320. I have a theory I want to work out.

321. Sometimes I wonder...

322. Oh! What's the use?

323. The trail forks here.

324. That one goes to the village of Tiburon.

325. And that one?

326. That goes up to the Citadel.

327. We'd better take the trail to Tiburon.

328. Why not to the Citadel?

329. Oh, there's a lot of bush talk

330. about strange things going on up there.

331. Probably voodoo.

332. Then we'll go to the Citadel.

333. All right.

334. Oh, come in!

335. I'm sorry to be late, Monsieur Kent,

336. but I was unavoidably detained.

337. That's quite all right.

338. Tell me, is there a chemist or a chemical laboratory

339. here in Cap-Haïtien?

340. No, but there is such a government laboratory

341. in Port-au-Prince.

342. Do you wish something analyzed? Yes, I do.

343. In regard to the disappearance of Mademoiselle White?

344. That's right.

345. Then permit me to be of assistance.

346. I will take you to Port-au-Prince immediately

347. in the government plane.

348. Well, I'm in quite a hurry...

349. Then we will leave at once, and I will personally introduce you

350. to the government chemist, Dr. Simone Girarde.

351. Thank you.

352. What's the matter?

353. This trail is closed.

354. What do you mean, closed?

355. That is a voodoo lakou wanga.

356. So what?

357. To cross over one of them is supposed to mean death.

358. Ha! Of all the ridiculous things!

359. That's what I think of voodoo!

360. Don't move.

361. What the... Get your hands up.

362. I'll be happy to conduct an analysis

363. as quickly as possible, Monsieur Kent,

364. but these things take time.

365. Well, thank you, Dr. Girarde. I'll wait.

366. If you wish.

367. I have some business to attend to

368. at the courthouse, Monsieur Kent.

369. I shall rejoin you here later.

370. Thank you.

371. That's the fella we're looking for!

372. Looks like he found us.

373. Why did you come through the bush,

374. showing my photograph to natives

375. and asking where I could be found?

376. What have you done with my sister?

377. That is an interesting question.

378. There'll be a lot more interesting questions

379. when the gendarmes get here.

380. If they do get here, Monsieur,

381. they will not find any witnesses to testify against me.

382. You are a student of Haitian history, Monsieur le docteur.

383. I will spare you so that later

384. you may answer some questions for me.

385. Thank you.

386. You will go in there for the present,

387. Monsieur le docteur.

388. My advice to you, Mr. White, is to cooperate.

389. I have another room for you.

390. You will go in quietly, Monsieur.

391. Kate! Kate, it's me, Perry!

392. Kate, don't you recognize me?

393. Get in there.

394. So you knew it was only paper.

395. This is a most interesting room that you have entered.

396. It is known as the wine press.

397. Do you see that small stone gutter

398. and that little hole in the floor?

399. That is so the wine can run through

400. when the grapes are squeezed.

401. I am now going to remove the hypnotic spell from Miss White

402. and then I'm going to ask her a question.

403. On her answer depend your lives.

404. But she doesn't know the answer!

405. It will be most unfortunate for all of you if she does not.

406. Miss White...

407. turn toward me.

408. I only know that when I gave him the result of the analysis,

409. he seemed very excited and left at once,

410. asking me to tell you

411. that he had to return to Cap-Haïtien immediately.

412. But if he was in such a hurry, why did he not wait for me?

413. I had agreed to return him by airplane.

414. What substance was on the handkerchief?

415. Burnt sienna, cocoa butter, bolomania.

416. Can you tell me, Monsieur Bergeret,

417. what possible significance that could have?

418. I'm not sure, but excusez-moi, Monsieur le docteur.

419. I must return to Cap-Haïtien at once.

420. But I tell you I had no reason

421. for taking pictures in the lower corridors

422. except for photographic interest.

423. I didn't see any secret doors!

424. I'm not convinced that you're telling the truth.

425. So...

426. What are you going to do?

427. I'm going to use this room

428. for the same purpose that Henri Christophe used it.

429. No. No! No!

430. No! No!

431. Oh, no! No, no!

432. Thank heavens!

433. Thank Superman!

434. Where's Dr. Masters? Locked behind that stone wall.

435. What?

436. Who are you?

437. That's Superman.

438. I always thought you were only a legend.

439. Legbu! He's getting away!

440. He's not the only one mixed up in this.

441. I think Dr. Masters knows some of the answers.

442. You're quite wrong. I know nothing of this.

443. Someone does.

444. Now watch.

445. MR.It's Johnson!

446. I didn't think you were this big a fool.

447. All this voodoo rigmarole is a blind

448. to cover up his attempt to steal the Christophe treasure.

449. I'll find it yet, don't you worry.

450. Why did you think I knew anything about the treasure?

451. Why?

452. I saw you snooping around the Citadel with a camera.

453. My sister happens to be a photographer,

454. and you can't take photographs without a camera.

455. Perry, don't lose your temper.

456. Lose my temper? I almost lost my life over this... this imbecile.

457. Digging for treasure!

458. You'll get plenty of digging in prison.

459. Well, don't be afraid of this tea, Jim.

460. I made it personally.

461. No, thank you. I think I'll still stick to water.

462. The prodigal son returns.

463. Hi, Mr. Kent. Hiya, Jim.

464. Hello, Miss White. Glad to see you safe and sound.

465. I'm glad to be safe and sound, Mr. Kent, I assure you.

466. Where have you been?

467. Port-au-Prince.

468. Port-au-Prince, eh?

469. We came close to being crushed to death.

470. We'd have all been killed if it hadn't been for Superman.

471. Really?

472. Golly, you've never seen anything like it!

473. The walls were closing in and we would've all been crushed.

474. But, Monsieur Kent, how did you get back here so quickly?

475. I...

476. flew.
