Original subtitles

We'll start by illustrating the stomach.

Our lesson today is about the stomach.

As I was saying, our subject today is the stomach.

I'd better wish you'd chopped that hand off.

Mike, why'd you say that?

Well, didn't you say you wanted a hand to help you study?

You must have a pretty sick sense of humor to be able to laugh during anatomy

class.

It's out of place and also highly offensive.

I see no point in continuing. You're dismissed.

Sorry, Professor.

Last night, this body was intact. I checked it myself.

It's the second time this month that something like this has happened.

She must have a psychopathic deviant in the hospital.

Maybe we should report it to the police.

No, that's out of the question.

Police investigation would give us a bad name.

I finally finished with the anthropological research you asked me

Professor Stafford.

I'm sorry I'm so late in giving it to you, but during the past few days, I've

had a lot of other things on my mind. Is anything wrong, Laurie?

No, no, I'm fine.

It's something else, Professor.

Oh, don't worry about it being late. Your work is always worth waiting for.

You're the best researcher I have.

Now, what's troubling you?

Well? Well, strange things have been going on at the hospital.

Pieces of corpses have been disappearing.

Today we discovered someone had stolen a hand.

That sounds to me like a student gag, you know, a fraternity initiation task.

Could be. You should have seen the things we had to do in my day.

Laurie, I thought you were into macrobiotics and vegetarian foods.

Well, I am sometimes, but today I thought I'd spoil myself.

So long professor and whenever you need me just call, you know anthropology is

still my secret passion Bye -bye Laurie

He was alone five minutes, no more. I told the doctor on duty at once. It

happened ten minutes ago.

Jesus, heart has been removed.

Never seen anything like it. It looks like it's been ripped out.

I don't want you to say a word about this to anyone, nurse. All right,

Yes? What can I do for you?

Hi.

I'm Susan Kelly from the New York Express.

Can I come in?

You'll be all alone. I was just on my way out.

That's all right. It'll only take a few minutes.

Now that you've pushed your way in here, what do you want?

Well, to tell the truth, I just wanted a little information about these

mysterious happenings at your hospital.

Something about cannibalism, from what I hear.

Where the hell did you hear that crap?

Let's just say...

A little newshound sense of smell.

Really? Then you must have a cold. Because there's no mystery that I

That you're willing to talk about.

Listen, I'm in a hurry. I have to go on duty and I'm late.

At this hour? Anything wrong with that?

Yeah, you've never worked this shift.

I'm well informed.

I have to sub for someone.

What's that?

It's a ceremonial knife for human sacrifice.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Turan!

I'll come up downstairs.

After him, quick!

Seems impossible, Miss Hill.

We must call the police now.

What's happened?

Doran!

Doran, why?

Doran! Doran!

Keto. I

only

caught a couple of words.

Keto. Keto ordered it.

And nothing else, Mr. Chandler.

Well, I'm afraid we're off to a pretty meager start.

Keto.

It means nothing at all to me.

But it does to me.

You see, it's a word that was once common to nearly all the dialects, all

ancient dialects of Southeast Asia. And what does it stand for?

Divine island or something religious.

Do you know if this word keto was also used in the Molotian archipelago? Yes,

was.

It's just that we've ascertained that the hospital attendant originally came

from that part of the world.

So that one of the Molotov Islands may, well, somehow have something to do with

all this.

Maybe.

You seem to know a great deal about these people.

Enough. I want to show you something.

Miss Ridgeway, in the Mulattoes, did the natives practice cannibalism?

All primitive peoples practiced it, without exception. Thank you. Now, in

probability, your attendant was an anthropophagus.

Or cannibal.

Similar cases have been popping up in other cities.

That's why the Department of Health have asked us to investigate.

Here. You can carry on with the slides, George. Right.

Now, so far, we've been able to keep all this under our hats.

But this is the documentation we have of several recent incidents.

I'm afraid they're not very pleasant to look at.

But... Stop.

Enlarge the picture.

He's the only one that's been captured to date.

There's a link between the hospital attendant and that man there.

They found him eating the heart of a woman that just died in a highway

Incredible.

Unfortunately, we were never able to question him.

When the police found him, he reacted so violently, they were forced to shoot

him. Looks Asiatic, too.

Yes, yes, he was.

And now I suppose we can at least theorize that he came from the mulattas.

you noticed the tattoo on his chest?

It's the same.

I looked it up. It's also been found in the mulattas.

My friend, Professor Stafford, can confirm that.

Could you fix up a meeting with him tomorrow?

Oh, yes, I'm sure. Great.

Laurie's interpretation of the word Keto is correct.

There's only one detail that I can add.

It was also the name given to the island where Keto supposedly lived.

Wait a second.

This is a symbol of the sect of Keto.

You were right.

It's the same.

Did they ever make blood sacrifices to this? Oh, yes, they did. And with human

victims.

Thank you, Professor.

Goodbye. See you soon, Laurie.

Goodbye. Nice meeting you.

My Lord.

There's someone in the apartment.

Just now.

Well, there's no one here now.

Is there anything missing?

Yes, a dagger with the symbol of Keto on it. It was hanging over there.

You want me to call the cops?

No, what good would it do?

No, I just came by to pick you up to take you to the meeting in my office.

Could have been worse, Laurie.

You look as if you could do with a stiff drink.

I guess.

On the basis of your information, we've organized an expedition to the mulattas.

Did you know that there's an island there that's still called Quito by the

natives?

We're going to be helped by Dr.

Obrero, who's been out there for years.

Of course, for the time being, we won't tell him the real reason for us being

there. But it would be very nice if you could be with us, too.

As an anthropologist, of course.

Now, look, I've already got the okay from Dr. Driddock. It's not that.

It's that I know the mulattoes.

I lived there as a child with my parents.

It was the most beautiful part of my life.

I wouldn't want to see those places again.

With different eyes, you know.

Yes, but you can't spend your adult life living on childhood memories.

Hi there, Peter.

Hello. Here's George and Susan.

What does she have to do with this? She's George's girlfriend.

Come and have a drink.

Great idea.

She certainly does get around.

I'll bet she's been telling you I'm a rude and nosy bitch.

You said it.

Let me add that I'm ambitious, a go -getter, and that I'd sell my soul for

proverbial scoop. Well, you never know.

This may be your very first Pulitzer.

That'd be nice.

You're not kidding.

Dr. Obrero.

Hi.

Here, let me give you a hand. Thanks.

Take care of the bags.

Nice to see you again, Dr. Chandler. I believe last time was in Los Angeles.

That's right, it was. Look, let me introduce you to my team.

This is Laurie Richway, our anthropologist.

Hello. Nice to meet you. Hi, how are you? Kelly, who's keeping a diary of the

expedition. How do you do? Delighted. And this is my assistant, George Hart.

Obrero. Pleasure to meet you.

Fine. Come on in.

I love these tropical islands. They're just the cutest.

I hope

you don't mind us dropping in on you like

this.

Yes,

of course.

May I offer you a drink?

Oh, thank you.

It's a pleasure if I can be of any assistance to you. Life gets very

and lonely in these parts.

But it does have its satisfactions.

I've hired four bearers and one guide for your expedition.

Maloto!

Maloto, this is Dr. Chandler.

Hi. It's very nice to meet you, sir. He knows the area extremely well.

He's been in my service for years, so you can trust him completely.

Well, I'm sure we'll get along fine.

Naturally, we'll stay in radio contact, so don't hesitate if you need anything.

Well, what we'd like to do is to start as early as possible in the morning. No

problem, sir.

Excuse me.

I'm very tired. I'd like to go to my room. Of course. I know how tiring a

out here is. Show the young lady to her room.

Thank you. Good night.

See you in the morning.

I'm afraid it'll be no pleasure, Cruz.

Is Quito very far from here, Doctor?

It's at the other end of the archipelago.

The next to last island before you reach the open sea.

The natives are the most primitive I've ever seen. I'm sure you'll find them

quite fascinating.

If I understand correctly, you intend to study their habits and customs.

Well, hopefully, yes.

I'm afraid I don't share your enthusiasm.

I know the natives on Quito intimately.

They're cruel, superstitious, and absolutely unwilling to accept any form

civilization.

Sometimes I feel like packing it all in rather than go on trying to treat them.

You sound as if you could do with a good vacation.

Why don't you come back with us to New York when we've finished here? I might

just do that.

What's the matter?

Oh, look, Peter, it's horrible.

It's that symbol again.

Oh, the symbol of Keto.

Calm down, Miss Ridgeway. If the natives had wanted to do you any harm, they

could easily have done so.

Watch your step, Missy.

Here, Susan.

Welcome aboard, sir.

What do you think it's going to be like on the island we're going to?

I don't know. It's so exciting.

Eight meter.

Is that the island over there?

Yeah, I think so.

Malotto?

Aguia. Keep heading in that way.

What is it, sir?

How long till we get to that island?

I don't know. Maybe more than that.

We've got problems with the motor.

What's wrong? I don't know. It's overheating. We can stop and let it cool

for a while.

It's going to be dark soon.

It's down for exploding around at night.

We'd better head to the nearest shore and try and fix the boat.

Can we reach that island over there?

Yeah. We'll have to take it easy, but I guess we ought to make it.

Then I think we should camp there tonight, and tomorrow morning we'll make

Quito, okay?

Sounds good.

Hey, that looks good. Can I try it?

There you go.

You want some, Sue?

Thanks,

Malota.

Why the guns?

Just taking precautions. A little excessive, if you ask me.

I mean, the people we're looking for are only like dead bodies. Now, I may be

wrong, but everyone here seems alive.

So we really have nothing to worry about as long as we stay alive.

But it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep a watch

anywhere. Can you see to that, George? Sure.

Meloto and I will take the first shift, okay?

Is anyone missing?

What do we do, Peter? Go out and look for him, huh?

No, well, it's too dangerous to go out there now.

If he comes back, he comes back.

Otherwise, we'll just have to search for him at first light.

McCartney!

What are we going to do?

Well, there's no sign of him yet.

So the three of us are going to go out and have a look.

We'll be gone for about half an hour.

So just make sure that no one leaves the camp.

And I mean no one.

You ready to go, George? Yeah, I'm ready.

Come on.

Let's go.

I think it's better if we split up here.

Malotta, you go that way. You carry on down there. Okay. See you later.

Hey, wait for me. I'm coming too. But Susan.

I thought I said you were to stay in the cabin. Yeah, but I'm supposed to

document everything, and I can't do that staying behind. Come on, then.

Beckony!

Matani!

Now this wouldn't have happened if everyone had obeyed orders and stayed in

camp.

Come on, Susan.

What? Don't you have any respect?

You know all you can do is take pictures?

Look, it's not as if I killed him.

That's not what I meant. What I meant was... Well, listen to me, George.

This is my job, and this is the way I do it. I didn't come here for a rump in

the bushes.

All you care about is your exclusive, isn't it?

Right on.

And what are you going to call it? The eating habits of the Malavian cannibals?

Mr. Hopper.

Yes?

These two porters are afraid.

You want to get off this island?

As long as you stay close to us, you're safe. Now bury your friend and be quick

about it.

Come on, hurry up. We leave this island when you finish.

It's a good worm a lot.

To go to Quito.

This is Quito.

You're wrong, Mr. Chandler.

No, no, no.

You've got it wrong.

And if it wasn't for the engine breaking down, you'd have taken us to some

different island.

Yes, I was.

I guess I was confused.

All these islands look alike, you know.

It is hard to tell the difference.

If he's taking us in the right direction, the village should be

that track.

Perhaps it would be better if we played it safe and went in another way.

Do you see what I see? Yeah, a native.

Hey, Peter, what do you think they want?

What are they saying?

They want to get back to the boat. They're frightened.

Wait a minute. They're getting a little too many for company. No, no, hold it.

They may not be going to attack us. They may just want to talk. Just the same. I

think we should show them we mean business.

Tell him to come back!

I think we should head for some high ground where it'll be easier to defend

ourselves.

Come on, girls.

Take him down and bury him.

Hello?

Dr. Obrero, you read me, huh?

Mr. Chandler!

Mr. Chandler!

I've made contact, sir. Oh, thank God.

Dr. Obrero, this is Chandler.

Listen, we've been attacked by the cannibals.

Well, they've killed two of our bearers already, and now they're after us.

Our what?

Our position.

We're about two miles southeast of our landing point.

Northwest.

About three miles.

A white building in a clearing?

Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got all of that.

Tomorrow morning.

All right, well, I just hope that we can get there.

Yeah, yeah. The sooner the better. Yep. Goodbye, Doctor.

He's on his way with the relief party.

But we've got to get ourselves to an old abandoned mission building about three

miles from here in the morning.

So you two girls get some rest. The four of us will keep guard.

No, we'll all keep guard.

I don't think any one of us will sleep a wink tonight.

What happened? We heard him scream and came and found him like this.

Now, where were you when they attacked?

They attacked through the bushes, sir.

In the dark, it's hard to see them.

I was on goddess rest.

Now, hell, you were.

Peter, stop it.

It's pitch black out. You can't see anything. It could have happened to any

us.

You're sure we're going in the right direction?

Yes, I think so.

Let's keep moving.

What's wrong?

Something bad is going to happen, sir.

They don't matter.

dragged her away.

I just hope they haven't done the same thing to her.

Come on, let's go.

I just wonder who that native was.

Someone they believe had supernatural powers, I guess.

Those cannibals were terrified. That's what saved us.

Come on.

Doctor!

Oh, thank God.

Oh, I'm glad to see you. It's over.

You saved me.

It was really bad back there.

I thought we'd never make it.

You're already out of danger. My men have been hunting them down for hours

You all right, Laurie?

Get them something to drink.

What about the other two? Where are they? It was horrible.

They ate George right in front of our eyes.

We dragged Susan away with them.

There wasn't anything that we could do.

We were lucky to get out ourselves.

I'm afraid there's no hope for her. But it's incredible.

Isn't there anything we can do?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Get her away from here at once, Chandler. She needs to recuperate.

nothing more you can do here anyhow.

Pretty soon, this island will be no more than a bad dream. A nightmare, which

you must try to forget.

You'd better go now.

Yes, but you only have the one boat.

About two miles up the coast, you'll find a rubber dinghy.

That'll take you back to your boat.

But I saw it anchored on my way over here.

I'll see you back at the villa tomorrow morning.

Malato will go with you.

What about you?

Well, I can't leave now. I have to wait for the men to come back in again.

Well, there's no need for you to come with us. You stay here with Dr. Obrero.

But you'll need him.

I'm an experienced sailor. There shouldn't be any problems.

Besides, well, I should think that you could do with all the help that you can

get.

We'll see you both back at the villa. But be careful.

What is it?

Something's wrong.

What's wrong?

There's the boat, just like O 'Brien said.

Come on.

Peter.

Yes, but how did Obrero know where we were?

Because I didn't tell him on the radio that we were on a different island than

the one that he thought we were on.

And yet he didn't hesitate for one second to tell us to go to the old

I guess just the fact that we'd run into cannibals was enough to tell him where

we were.

No, this island's hiding something.

Something even worse than those cannibals.

And Obrero's done everything he can to keep us away from here.

In the first place, he sent us to the wrong island, using the lotto to make

sure. And did you notice back there just how anxious he was that we should get

away?

Do you think that what he wants to hide has something to do with the strange

creature who saved us?

I don't know.

It's possible.

What do you want to do about it?

Well, I think we ought to find out what this is all about.

You're crazy.

We barely got out alive.

Why don't we just inform the authorities once we get away from here? That would

give Obrera time to clear everything up.

Now, be careful.

This will be all right.

Now, I want you to wait for me offshore in this, ready to put me out.

But if there's any sign of trouble, then I want you to get away from this island

and don't worry about it.

No, Peter, you can't go back. I won't let you. Now, let's see if this thing

starts and get it in the water.

I might have expected as much.

Let's see about the other one.

Are you sure we're going in the right direction?

Yeah, I think so.

Come on.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I'll get you out of there.

Now, well, don't move.

But are you sure?

Yes, I think so.

On this side. I think I can get a foothold.

Thank you.

Susan! Susan!

Susan!

Now I'm about to open the jugular vein.

Insert a bypass which will release the blood pressure from the brain.

The blood extracted will later be re -administered at the end of the

The patient screamed, disturbing me, performed removal of vocal cords.

I will now administer a second injection to maintain patient's consciousness.

You sure you don't want to stay out here?

You think I'd be in any safer?

Maybe it was a little shy.

will venture to traverse a new frontier in science.

I'm about to transplant the brain of a young female into the body of a male

who's been dead for ten days.

And as for you, I guarantee that you also shall live like the other beings I

have already created.

I tried very hard to keep you away from Kito.

Now your stubbornness leaves me no other choice.

Right, Chandler.

This way.

I take it you're still worried about Susan.

Well, there she is.

Chandler, yours is a typical example of median intelligence.

Enough to discover the existence of my secret, but absolutely incapable of

understanding it.

You're a bloodthirsty lunatic.

Such a banal judgment.

The difference between your science and mine is that I don't limit myself to

correcting nature's imperfections. I improve on nature.

I'm on the verge of discovering the key to increasing man's lifespan by over a

hundred years.

Do you see these bodies?

I can bring them back to life when I want.

I've worked on this project for years.

In the beginning, I was only able to use local natives.

I told them that whoever submitted themselves to my experiments would

divine.

And I wasn't lying.

And I suppose it's thanks to you that they've returned to cannibalism.

It was an ancient religious rite which I induced them to revive.

In the beginning, it was a way to get them to come here.

Malato, prepare the operating table.

I'm anxious to experiment on a male Caucasian brain.

Quick, Laurie, get out!

Chandler!

We certainly did her no favor by doing that.

I will now give you an injection so you will sleep and regain your strength.

I like my patients to be in the best physical condition.

Tomorrow morning I will transplant your brain into one of the cadavers you saw

in the other room.

You will die only to live again in a younger body.

Then you can tell me if the operation was a success. What it's like to pass

life to death and death to life.

In a few minutes you'll be fast asleep.

Sweet dreams.

. .

.

. .

God bless you.

Malotto, prepare the receiving body.

Hold his head still while I remove the scalp.

Be careful now.

Clamps, quick.

Thank you.

Bye.

Lift his head.

I make a point of giving the scalps to the natives to use during their

traditional fertility rites.

They believe that by wearing them, it increases the male potency.

Blonde hair is thought to be doubly effective.

I need a container.

Well,

the time has come for you to play your part in this momentous occasion.

Science must surmount all obstacles and this requires certain sacrifices.

It will comfort you to know that generations to come will reap great

from my experiments.

Ah, good, Maloto.

Set up for the transfusion.

succeeded in destroying my life's work. I could easily kill you now.

But I'm determined to have your brain.

It will be the culmination of my career.

Put him on the operating table.

Sorry!
