That's not for me to do, girl.

That's something Mr. Morgan would like to do.

The runner.

I just wanted to go home.

I won't do it again.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no, Bo.

Not yet, you're not sorry.

But you will be when you feel the price of running.

That's a print. Okay, everybody, that's lunch.

One hour.

Is it true that film production is on the rise in the Bay Area?

You can't beat this city for a backdrop.

Yeah, well, that'll be fine with me. I've been a movie buff ever since I was

kid. Well, if you like film history, there's a book in the prop page you

find interesting.

Good morning, Jim. This is Diane Martin, the 18 -year -old daughter of a noted

Houston industrialist.

One week ago she disappeared while spending a weekend in New Orleans.

Her wealthy father believes she's been kidnapped and has been waiting for a

ransom demand.

That demand may never come. We believe she has fallen victim to this man, Jake

Morgan.

Authorities think he is responsible for the disappearance of over 100 young

women during the past two years.

but they have yet to prove anything against him. We believe he is the main

supplier for an international white slavery ring that sells women to the

bidders in Asian and African countries.

Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to rescue Diane Martin and

prove that Morgan is, in fact, guilty, thereby ending his trade in human flesh

forever. As always, should you or any of your I .M. force be caught or killed,

The secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

This disc will self -destruct in five seconds.

Good luck, Jim.

That sounds good.

Well, I'm kind of rusty, Jim, but I guess it's like riding a bicycle.

It don't take long to get back with it, you know.

You all set at the club? Yeah. It just so happens that the band's trumpet

had to leave town suddenly.

We'll be sitting in tonight.

Good.

Jake Morgan.

He'll be a tough nut to crack. He's rich and he's ruthless.

So where do we begin?

Right here at the Jambalaya Jazz Club.

It's on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter.

Now, Morgan owns a chain of these clubs all across the Deep South.

But this one is where Diane Martin was last seen before she disappeared.

Most likely a front for his slave trade operation.

Yes, and it's run by this woman.

Ah, Pepper Laveau.

Now, it's believed she targets the girls in the club then moves them on to

Morgan. She's his right -hand lady and absolutely loyal to him.

We've got to find a way to drive a wedge between the two of them. I think voodoo

will do just that.

Voodoo? The black magic religion practiced in the Bayou backcountry.

Well, Papa Laveau was born and raised there, and it's well known she believes

voodoo ritualism.

We'll use that belief to our advantage.

Now, Nicholas, once Grant gets the information on how they operate, you

a visit to Morgan and make him an offer he can't refuse.

Right, Jim.

Ah, one more thing.

Morgan must keep some kind of record of his transactions.

If we can get our hands on that, we may be able to trace the whereabouts of the

other missing girls.

Because Diane Martin is not the only one who needs saving.

Shannon, how do things look for Pepper Laveau?

King of swords.

Not very good.

Thank you.

the mail for the next few nights.

Keep a watch on it. I don't drop guys.

Drop out of the blue just when we're about to make a shipment.

So we're going to move ahead with the ten we've got.

In forty -eight hours.

Two million for ten.

Why, that is high -end money.

And I cannot afford to keep my buyers waiting.

You ever seen her in here before?

Yeah. See what a story.

She could be a good addition to our shipment.

I'll see you, Blandish.

I don't think I've seen you here before.

That's because I haven't been here before.

I'm Pepper Laveau. I manage this place.

What part of town are you... What's with you, woman?

The devil.

Violence and enslavement are the influences that will mark your downfall.

He's black magic.

Evil.

He is crossed by...

The king of swords.

With the devil, he is a sadist. A dangerous person will betray you.

Get out.

But the cards have you in danger from someone close by. I said get out.

You beware of her, Sister Laveau.

Believe me, I know.

She is best left alone.

What do you want? I want to speak to Mr. Morgan.

I have an offer to make him.

I wonder if you might be kind enough to check these gentlemen out.

Hey.

It's Crow Wild, Mr.

Morgan.

We all need protection.

Aristotle Nuxos.

I represent an Asian consortium that's interested in purchasing your latest

shipment. I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, come now, Mr. Morgan. Neither of us is interested in playing games where

money is involved.

Your current offer is two million. We're prepared to pay three million.

Now, I am not saying...

I have the merchandise you require.

If I did, why would I throw over those gentlemen that I've been dealing with

the past several years?

Because money moves the world, Mr. Morgan.

You can't help but be interested.

I would have to see the money.

After I see the merchandise.

Now, if the quality's worth the price, why, then, you'll see the money.

And if I am interested in your offer, I will contact you.

Good afternoon, sir.

Good afternoon.

My name's Kane. Sam Kane.

I'm a private investigator from Houston.

Oh. What can I do for you, Mr. Kane?

Well, I'm investigating the disappearance of a young woman she was

this club, Diane Martin.

Sorry. Can't help you.

Huh. That surprises me.

Oh? Why is that?

Because I think the owner of this club is mixed up in a kidnapping ring that's

responsible for the disappearance of a number of young girls.

Oh.

Mr. Morgan.

He's as good a man as you could find.

Have you ever seen that woman before?

Yes, I've seen her. What about it?

She's part of the deal. She gets the girls going with a little voodoo hocus

pocus. And she says goodbye and the big guy with the blonde hair takes over and

does the dirty work.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I'm going to bust this case wide open and retire on the bonus I collect.

I need another pair of eyes.

In return for which I will see that you are not implicated when the roof falls

in.

Think about it, Miss LaValle.

My card, you can reach me at that number.

You all right?

I've got Nicholas.

I think that you'll find that they scrub up very well.

No.

Help you.

I'm going to buy you.

Well, now.

Have you seen enough?

Yes.

I'll talk to my people tomorrow.

Good night, ladies.

When you close the trunk, that will immediately trigger the gas canister.

And how about the bulletins?

I'll do those next.

Fire left to right, then back, right to left.

Nicholas will have the remote control to set off the squibs. Got it.

Thank God you're okay.

What happened?

I just had a private showing of Morgan's merchandise.

Who do you know where they are?

They blindfolded me.

All I could hear was the sound of water.

Possibly a river.

Ah, Jim.

We've got to get to those girls.

We will.

Tomorrow, Sam Kane will tighten the screws on Mr.

Morgan.

I don't like it.

See, I told you grabbing that Martin girl was a mistake.

He is just a private investigator. He's not the police.

Still dangerous.

What's all that he's saying about that white trash in the club and the voodoo?

do not know.

And I do not know anything about this voodoo nonsense.

Morgan.

If you were to cross me, I can make you a believer.

It is the most... State to threaten me, Peppa. The ghettos are always hungry.

And you'd make a tasty meal.

That's him.

Don't mind joining me while I feed my pets, Mr. Kane.

No, no problem.

This plantation has been in my family since just after the ending of the war

between the states.

Well, it's very impressive, huh?

Heritage.

Good breeding.

That's what makes for a good breeding.

Is that so?

Why, it's a known fact, Mr.

Kane.

And...

Here we are.

Interesting pets, aren't they?

You know, their bite exerts a pressure of over 1 ,000 pounds

per square inch.

I have been fascinated by them since one of them took off my leg.

What is your game, Mr. Kane?

No game, Mr. Morgan.

I've been hired to find a missing girl and I think you had something to do with

her disappearance.

Now, I do not intimidate easily.

And there's no use trying to scare Pepper when there is no proof to your

accusation. But there will be.

And Miss Laveau will leave you eventually because she will not want to

when you hit the wall.

Better men than you have run up against me and failed.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Why then, you just think of this.

The pain was excruciating. You just might not be so lucky as to

just lose a leg.

I don't intimidate easily either, Mr. Morgan.

It's perfect.

Some eyebrows, a little fine -tuning, and... Well, hello, Mr. Morgan.

Here it is.

It's ringing.

Morgan. Oh, Mr. Morgan, this is Knoxos.

Isn't that good? I was just waiting on your call.

Yes, well, I've been instructed to close our deal if the price agreed to. All

right. And you'll bring my money?

Well, part now, and the rest of the merchandise is in our possession.

I'll buy it.

Mr. Kane.

Miss Laveau. What brings you here? Well, I came to extend you an invitation to a

ceremony. What ceremony?

A voodoo ceremony.

Mr. Kane, I wouldn't mess around with that voodoo if I were you. It's not the

hocus -pocus you think it is, you know.

Well, that may be, but I think your boss is going to be there.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Remember I told you about Morgan and that woman being tied up with some kind

kidnapping ring?

Tonight I may get the final proof that'll just button up this case.

And if I were you, I'd want to know what was going on.

A zombie.

The most evil of all the seven.

I don't care about that.

That young girl over there.

Well, guess who just joined the party?

Lapini, la grande zombie.

Lapini, poupée gris -gris. Walk, find, sleep without

eating.

Scream of the undead. I can't be here.

How'd we do?

You were excellent.

Grant, you're now officially a member of the undead. All we have to do is get

Pepper Laveau to join the club.

One million dollars.

The difference between our deal and your last offer.

And the rest?

As soon as my man tells me that the merchandise is on the freighter and

the destination.

Why, that's very good, Mr.

Naxos.

You try to cross me, and I'll date a big you before you know what's happened.

And what are you doing?

I've come for some justice.

What? You and him.

And that voodoo in white.

I was loyal to you, Morgan.

And you cut me out?

Who is this woman?

She used to be an employee of mine.

That's right.

Houston. That inspector from Houston. He's got you real good.

He's going to blow your whole operation wide open.

And what is this all about?

Why, she's just as terrible. She's become a liability.

I'll take care of this, Mr. Nexos.

Lawyers don't like complications, Morgan.

Now, you take that money.

But if there is any trouble, we'll be back.

And then you'll have to worry about being gated.

Why, then, you just take care of her and it'll smooth the way.

I will take care of her, all right.

And who knows?

She may even be worth the trouble of selling at auction.

But then again, we might just kill her.

Jay,

Mr. Morgan.

There's a tunnel under Morgan's place.

I think I've read about it.

Was it part of the Underground Railway system during the Civil War?

Yeah. It was very active in this area, moving escaped slaves to routes up

All right, where's the other end of it?

Well, it comes out... about there.

In the bayou, half a mile from the planet.

Sleeping like a baby.

That's all I get the images I need.

All according to plan?

There's no doubt in Morgan's mind that Pepper Laveau is dead.

These were her last words.

I'll see you burn, Morgan!

Good.

Got it.

All right, we better get going. We'll find the girls. Let's hope you can find

Morgan's records.

Okay, we'll try a dry run.

Then you can all go into your act.

Once we get started, wake her up.

Right, Jim.

Here we go.

How did I get here? I don't know how we got here.

You have no power here.

The Grand Zombie, its practice will kill you in the end.

Here's some food.

Damn you, I don't want food. I want out of here.

You have no place to run, Miss Laveau.

You're on a freighter outside of New Orleans, headed for Asia where no doubt

you'll bring a solid price.

What? Well, you just fill out a less than satisfactory package.

Morgan double -crossed us all.

So we don't have any girls? I need something to deliver.

So, you two are in. No!

Suppose I can give you the ten girls.

I know where Morgan's holding them.

You turn this thing around, I'll show you.

I don't think we can get the captain to turn about, Mr. Naxos.

Where are they?

An abandoned ship five miles south of the plantation on the river's edge.

You know the location. You better get in position.

Now, Shannon, you get over to the club. See if you can find anything at Pepper's

office. We're going to need this.

When it pulses, it's your cue to hit it.

Right. See you later.

I hope.

This should be ready to process.

Yep.

Mm -hmm.

She'll make a good hologram.

And don't let her leave.

I don't know.

Who you are.

But you're mine.

And you're going to wish that you never came near me.

And pick up the girls. We leave for the harbor.

One hour.

Why don't you come in here? Sit down.

And make yourself comfortable.

And don't move.

I had all this care.

True believers are everywhere.

Shut up.

You can be possessed.

The undead can be called.

Okay,

Jim. I'm going to get in position.

Right, Grant.

That's the two guys that jumped us outside the club.

Yeah.

That's where we have a school to settle.

It's all right, girls. We're here to help you.

Good work,

Max. Get him to a safe place.

Now we have to get Morgan's list.

They've got the girls.

I'm about to wake Pepper. Once she gets her bearings, it'll take her about 15

minutes to get to the plantation.

We'll be ready for her.

I'll make my move when I hear him come from the house.

You have been causing me a great deal of trouble.

with your worst friend.

La grande zombie.

La finie.

Fait. Gris -gris. Walk.

Fine. Sleep without eating.

Serpent is earth.

And death is only the beginning.

Stop it.

La finie. La grande zombie. Man's soul is captured.

And the undead are called.

Stop it!

The one who's going to be dead.

I'm sorry.

I'll give it all back to you. All of it. I told you I would see you burn.

And you will.

A lot of girls will be grateful for that.

I'd say Mr. Morgan has fed his pits for the last time.

I know these alligators just have no respect for good breeding.

Next on Mission Impossible.

I thought we should go meet our new supplier of drugs. Are we supposed to do

business with this clown?

One of them killed him.

One of my distributors becoming ambitious.

Morphe. We'll take it all. Lawrence and me.

Goodness. Say he knows about the ripoff.

Ripoff. Someone aborted this ship in a fight. Find him.
