All language subtitles for White Zombie (1932)is

Looks like a burial.

In the road?

Driver, what is it?

It’s a funeral, Mademoiselle.

They are afraid of the men
who steal dead bodies.

So they dig the grave
in the middle of the road

where people
pass all the time.

Well, that’s a cheerful introduction
for you to our West Indies.

Do you know where is the house of
monsieur Beaumont?

Zombies! Aller vite! Allez!

It felt like hands touching me!

Why did you drive like that, you fool?
We might have been killed!

Worse than that, Monsieur.
We might have been caught.

Caught? By whom? Those men you spoke to?

They are not men Monsieur,
they are dead bodies.

Dead?

Yes, Monsieur. Zombies.

The living dead.

Corpses taken from their graves
who are made to work in sugar mills

and fields at nights.

Look! Here they come!

Look! Look!

Excuse me please,
have you got a match?

Did I frighten you? Ha, I’m sorry.
I’m oddly enough I suppose.

No, it wasn’t you.

Something happened back on
the road there.

We stopped to speak
to some men.

Our driver told us that they weren’t
men at all. He said they were corpses.

Corpses?

Surely you don’t believe it, do you?

No. But I don’t know, Haiti is full
of nonsense and superstition.

They’re always mixed up with a lot
of mysteries that will turn your hair grey.

I’ve been a missionary
here for, oh, thirty years,

and at times I don’t know
what to think.

Come, let’s go
in the house.

Oh, yes, come, dear.

Is Mr. Beaumont in?

You are expected, Dr. Bruner.

Yes... I’ve been sent for to marry someone.

Maybe you...

How long is it that you’ve
known Mr. Beaumont?

Oh, only a few days.

Madeline introduced him
on the docks in Port-au-Prince.

Ah, and you?

I met him on the ship
coming from New York.

He was very kind during the voyage.

Madeline and I planned to be married
the moment she arrived,

but Mr. Beaumont
persuaded us to come here.

And he promised to take me out
of the bank at Port-au-Prince

and send me to New York as his agent.

Strange.

Very strange.

You...

I’ll tell Mr. Beaumont you are here.

It’s all right, isn’t it, doctor?

Oh, I guess so.

You see I, I’ve only met Mr.
Beaumont once or twice.

But he never struck me like the man
who would take the trouble

to play fairy godfather
to a young couple like you...

Unless...

Unless what, sir?

I suppose you’ll think
I’m a meddling old fool, but...

You know, I’d feel a good deal better
if you’d clear out of this place

after you’re married,

and have nothing more
to do with Mr. Beaumont.

The young people have arrived sir,
and Dr. Bruner.

They are waiting in the reception hall.

Show them to their rooms,
and tell them I’m out.

No wait.

Perhaps I’d better see them.

It might look odd if I didn’t.

Very odd, sir.

Especially as Dr. Bruner is a trifle
skeptical as to your... motives, sir.

Nevermind my motives.

Has that other person sent word yet?

No, sir. Not yet.

He’s twenty-four hours late.

I wish you’d keep away
from that man, sir.

He'll make trouble for you.

You needn't worry about that.

I'm not affraid of him.

I'm not easily frightened, sir.
You should know that.

But what you are planning is dangerous.

Don’t you suppose I know that, Silver?

You don’t seem to realize what
this girl means to me.

Why, I’d sacrifice anything
I have in the world for her.

Nothing matters
if I can’t have her.

I think, ah, I think you’ll like Haiti.
Most people that...

Madeline! I’m delighted to see you!
Neil, you’re more than welcome.

Thank you, sir.

Doctor, it is very kind of you to come.

I know what a busy man you are.

No, ah, not at all. There is
a native family live out here

that I’ve been trying to see
for a long time.

After this young couple are
safely married, I'll leave.

But surely you will stay for
dinner after the ceremony?

No, no, no. No, I must run along.

That’s a great pity. We have something
very special prepared for this occasion.

It was very good of you, Madeline,
to humour the whim of a lonely man.

There was so little time to prepare,

I couldn’t do half the things
I wanted for you.

You’ve done more than enough already
Mr. Beaumont,

for a comparative...
giving Neil a position in The States.

Neil?

Yes. Yes indeed.

Oh, yes of course! I’m sure Neil
will make a very good agent.

But you must be tired
after your drive.

You get some rest.
Silver!

Silver will show you to your rooms.

This way please.

Delighted to see you again,
monsieur Beaumont!

Please.

Please.

I’m sorry to have kept
you waiting, monsieur.

I’ve been on a journey

seeking men for my mills.

Men?

They work faithfully...
They are not worried about long hours.

You... can make good use of
men like mine on your plantations.

No.

That’s not what I want.

Then perhaps we should talk
about the young lady

who came to your house this evening?

You’ve seen her? When?

The road, tonight.

There was a young man with her.

They are to be married, tonight.

You waited too long to do anything.

What do you want me to do?

If she were to disappear,
for a month...

What do you hope to gain
by her disappearance?

Everything...

Everything?

Do you think she will forget
her lover in a month?

Just give me a month.
One little month.

Not in a month. Not even a year,
monsieur.

I looked into her eyes. She is deep
in love. But not with you.

They are to be married
within an hour!

There must be a way!

There is way.

The cost...

The cost is heavy!

You give me what I want,
and you may ask anything.

No! Not that!

Only a pin point,
monsieur Beaumont,

in a glass of wine
or perhaps a flower.

Take it.
The time is very brief.

You must do your share if
I am to help you.

Keep it, monsieur.

Keep it.
You may change your mind.

Send me word when you use it.

- I’ll find another way.
- There is no other way.

They are driving away evil spirits!

Close it, close it!

Mademoiselle!

I love you, Madeline, more than
anything else in this whole world, dear.

Heaven or hell lies in this
little moment for me.

You could raise me up to paradise or
you could blast my world into nothingness.

I can make you the envy of every woman.

I’d give my life to make you happy!

Oh, listen to me dear
before it’s too late!

Don’t, please.

Don’t go into that room.

We can be in Port-au-Prince
in half an hour.

There’s a boat sailing at midnight.

You’ve been so wonderful.

Don’t spoil everything now.

One last gift
before I lose you forever!

We are gathered together here
in the sight of God,

and in the face of this company,

to join together this man, this woman

in holy matrimony.

This is the night of nights!

A toast to the bride!
To beauty’s queen!

Gladly, My Lord!

Leave but a kiss
within the glass.

Fair gypsy, read my fortune.

What do you see in the glass?

I see
happiness...

I see love, far more than you
can bear.

Is that all?

No.

I see...

I see...

What is it?

I see death.

Madelin!

Madeline, what’s wrong?

Madeline my dear, please.

Oh, no...

Madeline?
Madeline?

Can’t we do something?

Please, please.

Madeline!

Not my wife. My wife!

Praise of our lord and saviour
and the love of god

and the fellowship
of his angels.

Be with us ever more. Amen.

Neil, Neil...

Neil...

Neil...

Neil...
Neil...

Look!

Zombies!

Yes.
They are my servants.

Did you think we could do it alone?

In their lifetime they were my enemies.

Ledot, the witch doctor.
Once my master.

Secrets I tortured out of him.

Von Gelder, the swine.
Swollen with riches.

He fought against my spells until the last.
In him I have a struggling type.

His Excellence, Richard.
Once minister of the interior.

Scarpia, Brigand Chief.
Marcquis, Captain of Gendarmerie....

And this, this is Chauvin,
the high executioner,

who almost executed me!

I took them

just as we will take
this one.

But what if they
regain their souls?

They would tear me to pieces.

But that, my friend,
shall never be.

Madeline!

Madeline!

Madeline!

Madeline!

There’s two explanations
that strike me,

either the body was stolen by the
members of a death cult

that use human bones in their
ceremonies, or else...

Or else what?

She’s not dead.

Not dead?

Are you mad?

I saw her die,
the doctor signed the certificate.

I saw them bury her.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute,
I’m not mad.

But I’ve lived in these islands
for a good many years,

and I’ve seen things with my eyes
that made me think I was crazy.

There are superstitions in Haiti that
the natives brought here from Africa.

Some of them can be traced back
as far as ancient Egypt,

and beyond that yet, in the countries
that was old when Egypt was young.

Yes, but what has that
to do with Madeline?

I kissed her as she lay
there in the coffin.

And her lips were cold.

Let me explain.
Now, just a minute, I’ll explain.

Wherever there is a superstition,
you will find there is also a practice.

Now, do you remember
what your driver told you

the night that he took you
to Beaumont’s house?

Oh, about those horrible
creatures we saw?

He said they were corpses!
Taken from their graves.

Yes - that’s the superstition!
Now for the practice.

The ghouls that steal
the dead corpses from their graves,

are supposed to put them
there in the first place.

Do you mean that
Madeline was murdered

so that somebody could
steal her dead body?

Aagh! Nonsense!

No, no. Not her...

Her body, yes. But not her dead body.
That’s what I meant.

Well, surely you don’t think
she’s alive, in the hands of natives?

Oh no, better dead than that!

Excuse me please,
have you got a match?

Thank you.

You don’t believe that,
do you?

Say, there’s been lots of people
that’s been pronounced dead

that came alive again and
lived for years.

Now, if nature can play
pranks like that,

why isn’t it possible to play
pranks with nature?

Oh, I don’t know.

Your driver believed he saw
dead men, walking.

He didn’t. What he saw was men alive

and everything but this and this.

Oh, the whole thing has me confused!

I just can’t understand it.

Um, I don’t blame you...
I don’t blame you.

I’ve been trying for years to get to
the bottom of these things.

To separate what
you call fact from fiction.

The law!

The law of Haiti acknowledges
the possibility of being buried alive.

Here it is in the penal code.
I’ll read it for you.

It’s in French,
do you speak French?

No.

Excuse me please,
have you got a match?

Right here, here’s one.

Oh, thank you. I didn’t see it there.

I’ll translate it for you.
If you could spare me.

Article...

Article 2.49.

The use...
The use of drugs or other practices

which produce lethargic coma,
or lifeless sleep,

shall be considered attempted murder.

Attempted!

Yes I see.

If the person has been
buried alive,

the act should be considered murder

no matter what result follows.

Beaumont!

Say, you said you couldn’t understand
why he was so interested in us.

Do you think he did this?

No. No, I think his natives would.

Natives would be right.

Of course if you want to,
we could go to Beaumont’s house first.

If I could get my hands on the devil
that’s responsible for this,

I’ll make him such an example
that every witch doctor in Haiti

would be shaking in his sandals.

But we can’t do this alone.

Can’t the authorities help?

The authorities, Neil, my boy,
you don’t know these islands.

The native authorities are
afraid to meddle.

I am not. I’ve got friends
among the natives.

They’ll tell me things that no gendarme
could ever get out of them.

Because I am a preacher.

They think I am a magician.

Before we get through with this thing,
we may uncover sins

that even the devil
would be ashamed of.

Oh, these witch doctors...

Madeline...

Foolish things, they can’t bring
back the light to those eyes.

I was mad to do this,
but if you had smiled on me,

I’d have done anything for you,
given you anything.

I thought that beauty alone would satisfy,
but the soul is gone...

I can’t bear those
empty staring eyes.

Oh, forgive me, Madeline.
Forgive me!

I can’t bear it any longer,
I must take you back.

Back to the grave,
Monsieur?

No, you must put the life back into her
eyes and bring laughter to her lips.

She must be gay and
happy again!

You paint a charming picture,
Monsieur.

One that I should
like to see myself!

You must bring her back.

Aren’t you a trifle afraid,
Monsieur?

How do suppose those
eyes will regard you

when the brain is able
to understand?

Better to see hatred in them
than that dreadful emptiness.

Perhaps you’re right.

It would be a pity to destroy
such a lovely flower.

Let’s drink to the future
of this flower.

A glass of wine!

Silver, bring wine!
We have a toast to drink.

To the future,
Monsieur!

Only a pin point,
Monsieur.

In a flower...

or perhaps in a glass of wine?

You devil!
What are you trying to do to me?

I have other plans
for Mademoiselle.

And I am afraid you might not agree.

I have taken a fancy to you,
Monsieur!

Silver! Silver!

Don’t, don’t!

To the future,
Monsieur!

The vulture,
you...

No. Not that.
Not that!

We ought to be picking up an old witch
doctor around here pretty soon.

His name is Pierre, I’ve known
him for years. Bright old fellow.

I don’t know just
where we’ll find him.

Come, son.
There are evil spirits in the road.

I will give you an awonga.
And here, this one for the ox.

Young man is sick with distress.

Well hey, wait a minute, we can’t
afford to have you sick.

Neil, why don’t you go over there,
we've got a hard day before us tomorrow.

Now, now then Pierre, come on.
He’s gone. We can talk.

It is a dangerous thing
you ask me to do.

Well now listen here you know,
we're old friends, you and me,

and I want to go on.

Turn back before it is too late!

Oh, no. I’ve come too
far to turn back now.

I’m too old to go all this way with you.

Well listen, can’t you get somebody
to go with us?

My people all afraid of the mountain.

Why?

Because it is called
the land of the living dead.

Well, have, have you ever been there?

I am the only man that has ever
come back from there alive.

There is an evil spirit man
that is called Murder.

Come, I will tell you all about
what he did.

Vulture.

Just as old Pierre said.

A cloud of vultures always hovers
over the house of the living dead.

Madeline...

Is she there?

Oh, I must go and see her.

Neil, my boy, please, please
lie down and rest. Please.

You’ll feel stronger
in the morning.

You rest.

Let me go up
and see what I can do.

Why is she so restless tonight?

Perhaps she remembers something?

They never remember anything
when they are like that.

No?

Because she’s cut off.

Madeline!

Madeline!

No, no, I can’t,

I can’t!

You must, it’s your turn.

Let’s run away!

He might hear you!

No way. I can’t stand it.
I am going to run away!

He will find you
and make you like her.

Can you still hear me?

It is unfortunate you are
no longer able to speak.

I should be interested to hear
you describe your symptoms...

You see, you are the first man
to know what is happening.

None of the others
did.

You refused to shake hands once.

I remember.

Well, well.

We understand each other better now.

Madeline!

Madeline!

Madeline!

Madeline!
I found you!

You’re alive.
Alive!

What’s the matter?
It’s I, Neil.

Oh my darling,
what have they done to you?

Who are you?

And what are they?

For you, my friend,
they are the angels of death.

Come! Zombies!
Duck!

Look!

Madeline, don’t you know me,
dear?

It’s Neil.

I could swear, for a moment
she recognized you.

Come on, don’t let
him get away!

Madeline, my darling!

Neil, I...
I dreamed?

Excuse me please,
have you got a match?
