All language subtitles for 1982-03-06_the_devils_rain_1975-william_shatner

Oh, well, hello, darling, and welcome to
Movie Macabre. Yes, sirree, it's Lilo

me, the gal with the chassis.

That's lean and sassy.

See what I mean?

Lean and sassy.

Elvira, mistress of the dark. Well, what
do you think? I got myself a pretty

slick flicker here, huh? And a swell
umbrella.

Yep, I'm all set up for that stormy
weather they've been predicting for the

weekend. A devil of the rain, I think
they called it. But I don't know. I

there ain't even a cloud in the sky.

But the weather report said rain.

Let me have another look at that paper,
would you?

Yeah, that's right. Right here. The
Devil's Rain.

Starring William Shatner, Ernest
Borgnine, Ida Lupino, a supernatural

and a small ghost town.

Wait a minute.

This ain't the weather report.

I'm reading the doggone TV listings.

Well, if that don't beat all.

I mean, just look at me. Do I look like
a fool or what?

I mean, can you imagine how stupid I
feel? I don't even have the stupid getup

had to buy this thing. Set me back $3
.50. I can't believe it. I don't even

this junk anymore.

Fresh pot of coffee, Mrs. Preston.

No,

thank you, John, no.

Is it slacking off any out there?

John, it's absolutely pouring down.

I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy.

Don't worry about it. I'll just get you
a fresh cup.

Thank you.

I got as far as Simpson's Bridge. We
once left it, but the river's about

it away.

He couldn't have just disappeared. He
couldn't. He probably pulled up

wiped the storm out.

It's still dead.

I know.

Winds. Mark the lines, though.

I don't think so.

What else could it be?

It's only the storm.

Mark, don't think I'm a fool. Please
listen to me.

It's my dream. I know, I know. You
listen to me. It's the thing.

Night after night. Yes, I know that,
mother. I don't want to hear any more

it. Mark, listen to me. It always starts
the same way. It starts with a storm

and then your father... Father is all
right.

It's all right.

But, mother... Someone

is here.

Dad?

Oh, my God.

Steve?

Steve?

The book.

Corbis.

What's on it?

Where is Corbis?

The desert.

Redstone.

I was waiting for the book.

Give Corbett what belonged to him.

Don't go near him. Don't touch him.

In nomine satan.

In the name of Satan.

That wasn't your father.

It was his face. His clothes.

Mark.

The book.

Don't you see?

Don't you see? My dream was a warning.

Yes, please.

My dream was a warning.

They found...

Corpus has your father.

It wasn't him, Mark. I tell you, it
wasn't him.

He said Corpus was in Redstone, the old
mining town.

It's a godforsaken place.

Wait a minute.

Take the book to Corpus.

It's the only way.

The book's not ours to bargain with.

Oh, please take it. No.

He won't give the devil's man what he
wants. Your father would... My father...

would agree with me.

Mark, there must be something you can
do.

my terms, Matthias.

Listen.

Take this with you.

Corpus can't harm you as long as you
wear this amulet.

Into the truck.

No.

You stay here.

John. Yeah?

Take care of her.

What's that old geezer babbling about?

They had no faces.

Well, they must not have been Hollywood
agents then, or they would have had two

faces. Ha!

Get it?

Oh, boy, I don't even have a clue with
this one. I mean, what the heck is going

on? Once again, you're looking at
Elvira, Mistress in the Dark.

I mean, it must have something to do
with that book, I guess. Like maybe

somebody checked it out from the public
library down in Redstone and then kind

of forgot to return it.

Okay, that's good for a heavy fine, but
not for a very heavy plot.

How the heck do you get a movie out of
something like that?

Beats me, Jack.

Okay, now listen to these important
words.

They had no faces.

Oh, no, no, not those words.

I'm talking about the words from the
advertisers.

Faces.

Looks like you've been driving a ways.

Are you lost?

No, I'm not lost.

Use some water?

Drink up.

It's bitter.

Sweet way to end a thirst, though, isn't
it?

Did you bring the book?

I'll talk to no one but Corvus.

Then speak.

Where is the book?

Where you can't touch it.

I'm not afraid of you, Corvus.

Mr. Preston, I'd be very disappointed if
you were.

We've both come a very long way for this
moment.

And I have a ways to go yet before I
find what I'm after.

Well, if you're led by a faith as strong
as mine, nothing can stop you.

Depends what you put your faith in.

Well said.

Let me show you what I've put my faith
in.

Corvus!

I'll face whatever you have behind those
doors and come out exactly as I went

in.

A challenge?

My faith against yours.

For my mother and father.

They go with me if I win.

Agreed.

And if you lose?

The book.

And you?

Boy, I don't know.

Sitting through two hours of this movie
is going to be a... It's going to be

a... A challenge?

Yeah, yeah, that's the word I'm looking
for. A challenge.

Thanks, Ernie.

Boy, it kind of looks like Ernie
Borgnine went on a Tommy LaSorda diet to

shape for this one.

Give my best to Tova.

While you're at it, why don't you try
some of that beauty cream of hers?

Boy, I would love to see Bill Shatner
whip out that pocket pager of his and

say... Kirk to Enterprise.

Beam us aboard, Scotty.

What a snoozer.

Come on, Scotty. Beam us aboard, okay?
Get me out of here.

Scotty.

The ceremony will begin shortly.

You may be seated.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

In the name of Satan,

ruler of the earth, king of the world, I
command the forces of

darkness to bestow their infernal power
upon us.

Come forth from the abyss.

Open wide the gates of hell. I will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.

Preserve my soul.

From the dark angels that you have cast
fire.

Give us this day our daily bread. By all
the gods of the pit, I command you to

do those things which I desire. We
forgive those that trespass against us.

You have bestowed upon us a vessel for
the sacred rite of the holy

water.

For this, we thank thee and summon the
soul.

Be my shield against the terrors of
hell.

Martin Fife, in nomine Satanus.

Martin Fife, in nomine Satanus.

Martin Fife. In the name of God, I am
Mark Preston. In the name of Satan,

Martin Fife, come into this vessel.

In the name of God, I am Mark Preston.

Deliver me from evil.

Evil?

There is no evil here.

Only purity.

See thy mother?

My son, we have made a place for you
here.

And you will know the peace of mind that
I have found.

A divine peace can be yours.

Join us.

No.

Get away.

Let me go. Whose belief is greater now?

Let me go!

Seize him!

Is

that

your faith?

I'm still free, Corvus.

Are you free, Mark Preston?

Free my family.

Come forth.

Oh, master of the world.

Present thyself to him.

Behold!

the family name of Preston will be no
more.

Mrs. Preston, my associate's wife, is
consciously controlling the rate of her

heartbeat. She's now in a state of deep
meditation.

Dr. Richards, you mean she's controlling
her body through willpower alone?

Our experiments would indicate that
there's nothing in the subconscious that

cannot be raised to the conscious level.

Nothing, doctor?

What about parapsychology, telepathy?
Can that be controlled too?

Yes.

I include that.

Extrasensory perception.

Dr. Preston, isn't there a danger that
these experiments could interfere with

normal brain activity?

No, no, no, no. We've studied many cases
like this one. There's no reason for

concern at all. If there were, believe
me, my wife would not be involved.

No, no, no. No dangers.

Only discoveries.

Is there any proof of ESP control?

Yes, Mrs.

Preston here.

We believe.

that we're on the verge of isolating the
brainwave pattern that signifies ESP

activity. Now, Judy, tell us what you
felt.

It starts with a feeling of absolute
calm as if I were drifting into perfect

sleep, leaving behind any cares or any
fears.

It's so beautiful, a feeling I could
almost cry.

And then, way in the distance, I see
someone or some place moving

closer. It starts with a feeling of
absolute calm,

as if I were drifting into perfect
sleep,

leaving behind any cares or fears.

Then, way in the distance, I see someone
or some place moving closer.

Sometimes their voices or even music.

And then a funny change takes place.

Instead of the images moving closer to
me,

I feel myself moving closer to them.

It's as if I were...

Watching a movie.

And then suddenly we're acting in it.

Easy.

Julie, something's happened to my
family.

Easy.

Julie, something's happened to my
family.

Now that's an understatement if I ever
heard one. Julie, something's happened

my family.

Julie, if he only knew what's happened
to his family.

First of all, Dad comes home dripping
like he has some kind of disease or

something. And now it looks like his mom
has eyes for somebody else.

Too bad she don't have eyes for her own
darn self.

And his brother's going through this
identity crisis.

In the name of God, I am Mark Preston.

Yeah, that's what I thought his name
was, too.

Mark Preston. But Ernie keeps calling
him Martin Five.

Guess it really don't matter what they
call him, just as long as they don't

him late for dinner.

Oh, boy, now there's a gag with more
miles on it than that old station wagon

that Bill Shatner's driving.

Well, things are getting mighty tense in
spite of Ernie Borgnine's devil -may

-care attitude.

We'll get right back to McHale's Navy
meets the Omen right after these words

from the advertising.

take the trouble to write up for a
report.

All we need now is a flying saucer to
really put this place on the map.

Sheriff, John's story is just as hard
for me to believe as it is for you.

But he's sure that Mark went to
Redstone.

That place is deserted.

Where's my family, then? Where are they?

All I know is that half this county got
blown away or flooded out last night.

Now, when John called me about your
family, my boys were bringing in a

bodies.

People were stuck in a car in that storm
last night and just tossed them around

like a toy.

Well, look at the inside of your house.
It's a shambles. You think a storm did

that, Sheriff?

Yes, I do.

Then where's the family?

Well, I don't know. Maybe they tried to
run away before the wind hit. And they

left John here, right?

No, Sheriff, the answer's in Redstone.
You know that.

Now, look, son, if I had a hundred men
to help me, it's gonna take me a long

time to clean up that mess the storm
left me.

I'm going to look for your folks, but I
can't spare one man to go down there to

that ghost town.

I'll go myself then, Sheriff.

I can't stop you.

Might as well take that old road, the
old one, back down through the desert.

It's clear.

I see you got food, but you better take
plenty of water.

You better take extra gas.

Tell you what you give me a call a
minute you get back

I saw them.

We're going to find out what happened. I
want you to listen to me and listen to

me very carefully.

Dr.

Richards is coming tomorrow.

I want you to tell him everything you've
told us and tell him that we're going

to Redstone to find my brother. Dr.

Richards is coming here tomorrow and
you're going to Redstone? We've gone to

Redstone. And tell him everything you've
told us, all right?

All right.

Snacks.

What is it?

What is that stuff?

It's wax.

They just melted it, and we all saw.

We better get going.

Look, try to get some sleep, okay?
Remember Dr.

Richards? Yeah, I remember Dr.

Richards. Now, you be careful.

All right, we will.

Take care, John.

We'll be back soon.

In the name of Satan, Lord of Light, I
offer you peace and salvation.

Where is the book?

You gambled and you lost.

Bastard.

The torment of hell holds no terror for
you.

Who?

Lilith.

He truly believes he can deny us.

Show him.

Mother.

Martin Fife.

My vessel is prepared.

Your journey is about to begin.

What'd they just do?

Fire up the cannon down at Town Square
or something?

Boy, I still don't know why they're
making such a big deal over some doggone

book. I mean, what's so great about a
book?

I haven't even read one in four or five
years, you know. And another... Oh, wait

a minute. What's happening here? Hey!

Whoa!

Who the devil are you?

Hey, you got that right, Mama.

You mean, you're really the...

The devil?

Hey, well, I ain't red buttons, baby.

Oh, well.

Well, what are you doing here?

Oh, I just took a meeting with the
program director, you know. We just, you

know, kicked it around.

You know Attila, the program director?

Oh, yeah.

Words like that.

He's like that.

Well, I bet you're the one that made him
play this movie then, right?

Yeah. You got any objections to that?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

on me, no. Oh, good, because I could
give you a pitchfork. Well, the sun

how to... Oh, no, I said I'm not... Then
I'm not objecting, okay?

Oh, okay, no punishment.

Hey, you know, I'm really a big fan of
yours.

Big fan of mine? Oh, yeah, I think
you're hot stuff.

Oh, right.

Well, you're pretty hot stuff yourself.

Do that again.

Okay.

Hey, sister, how about let me have,
like, a little autograph, okay?

What? Yeah.

Put your number right there, okay?

Oh, well, like, do you have a pencil or
a pen or anything?

Oh, we don't need no pen. We could just
do it in blood. Here, I'll prick your

finger, okay?

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait.

I don't think that'd be such a swell
idea, you know.

Look, why don't you just join my fan
club, and I'll just kind of send you an

autographed picture, you know. It's only
$5 .50, okay?

Well, I'll be going to hell.

Whoa. I guess he did, too.

Wow. I mean, that was really a close
one.

It's kind of getting sort of hot in
here, isn't it?

Do you think that's me, or is it...

Weird, isn't it?

I've seen churches like this in New
England.

It doesn't belong here.

Yeah, I noticed that from back there.

Devil worshipped.

Oh, Tom.

Look at this.

This wax.

It's the same that was on the porch.

What is it?

Oh, shit.

What is it, Julie?

What are you seeing?

Book.

A long... A long time ago.

I... I can see them.

They're... They're looking for the book.

They're looking... One of the
Asperger's.

How so, Jonathan?

The book is gone, my children.

The book is gone.

But I am not.

Didst one of thee fall from the favor of
Lucifer?

But thou hast taken the pleasures of
Satan, and in return thou hast

pledged thy soul in blood in the book.

Without the book thou art nothing.

Who amongst thee dares cast me into

an eternity of limbo?

Who?

If the book is lost, I, Jonathan Corbis,

Satan's minister on earth, cannot lead
you to his everlasting kingdom.

Now who?

Martin Fife.

It is strange thy wife, Tharalessa. She
has been ill.

Does not join us at worship this night.

No one knows what we are about.

Silent.

Now that was the smart thing to do. Take
your hands off the wheel, cover your

eyes and scream.

Well, at least she has eyes to cover. I
mean, everybody else in this movie has

big old black holes where their eyes
ought to be.

And that flashback was...

Just what this movie needed to explain
what's going on.

Sure. Bill Shatner was like his own
great -great -grandpa.

And somewhere along the way, the family
must have changed their name to Preston

so those folks wouldn't snicker at five.

Of course, Ernie Borgnine was his own
great -great -grandpa as well.

And the movie itself had an ancestor
back in those pilgrim days. As a matter

fact, they shot it and served it up at
the first Thanksgiving dinner.

Well, there's more ghost town antics as
the devil's reign continues on closing

the car right after this.

Why, preacher blind.

What manner of God's business keeps thee
from thy bed at this hour, sir?

God's most holy business.

The condemning of evil.

What say thee, Jonathan Corbis?

Thou stands accused of foully conspiring
with Satan and his demons to overturn

the laws of God.

Thou art named a witch, Corbis. Thou and
all who follow thee.

Thou art the one.

My wife has betrayed us. She was the one
who stole the boats from my father.

That bitch howls our names to the
heathen.

I am faithful.

One, two, three!

Remember. One, two, three! Thou hast
sworn not to harm my husband.

My son.

The holy water.

The waxen images.

Thou knowest the holy procedures.

One,

I shall meet again soon, my boy.

Go on.

And thy soul too, if God allows.

As for thy bodies, they are polluted
beyond redemption.

And must suffer accordingly.

Stop out!

Stop out!

Corbett!

Call on thy master now.

See when it suffices thee to bow to the
devil. Thou art guilty of the most

heinous charge of consorting with Satan
and his minions.

Unto the laws of this township thou art
condemned.

God save us from the forces of darkness.

Think ye to destroy something stronger
than life?

So, too, will the sun rise and cast thy
shadow over this town again and again,

you fool!

Burn! Burn!

Martin, fight!

A curse on thee and thine forevermore.

I will follow.

descendants for all eternity.

Get to a phone and call us here, okay?

Amen.

Hear me, O Lord of life everlasting.

I, Jonathan Corbis, petition thee to let
me be thy voice on earth.

O Master of the world, hear me.

I petition thee.

Hail, O Prince of the Abyss.

Sure, go ahead and run out on your
family. What the heck? They'd only run

you.

And that darn book.

I am getting sick and tired of hearing
them make such a big deal out of it. If

you read one book, you read them all.

They should have made that big a deal
over the script.

Oh, by the way, if you look real close,
you might just spot John Travolta in the

crowd scene.

Of course, this movie was made a long
time before he had Saturday Night Fever.

Heck. When they made this turkey, I
didn't even think he was running a

temperature.

Okay, here's more of The Devil's Reign
coming right up on Movie Macabre.

Deathless one.

Who calls me from out of the pit?

What is thy purpose?

Has it been prepared?

It has.

Then I command this soul to be purified
by fire and water.

It's unworthy soul.

waters of forgetfulness.

My

servant,

come forth.

and claim the body I have prepared for
you.

Zodokade, Vainobliasi, open wide

the mysteries of your creation unto this
soul.

Be friendly unto him, for I am the same,

the true worshipper.

of the highest and most exalted king of
hell.

Praise...

is my soul.

Salvation.

Blasphemer! Blasphemer!

Seize him!

You, my son, defiled all that is holy.

Mother of my God, my God!

Okay, where's Julie then?

The sheriff called. He's got men on the
road looking. The car disappeared,

right? Can't find it?

Yeah, well, that means that she's back
there in that damn place with Corbis.

They picked you up, didn't they? Come
on, let's face it.

The sheriff's got the God knows how many
storm victims he's looking for. And

what do you think he's going to say when
I tell him about waxing images?

And eyeless faces, huh? How about that
one?

That goddamn ceremony.

Bitch.

Now, what about the disappearance of my
family, for crying out loud?

Now, Sam, I don't know what in the hell
he wants with my family, but... There's

only one way to find out. Now, slow
down.

Slow down.

Let's try to find out what we're facing
here.

There. Take a look at this.

What is it? Where'd you get it?

It's a book. I got it from John,
bequeathed to your mother. It's been in

family for centuries. You haven't seen
it.

Nathan Aldrin.

Yeah.

Martin Fife. That's the name he used
last night in the ceremony. Right,

This book was owned by Corbis. What?

300 years ago.

It's a registry of the people, the names
of the people that he converted to

Satan.

These are written in blood, these
signatures.

These are people who believe that
they've sold their souls to the devil.

Here, this letter. Read the letter.

I beseech thee, daughter, and all our
daughters to follow, to protect this

and keep it from the devil's disciples.

For so long as you do, Jonathan, Corbus
is powerless to deliver his souls to

Satan.

For I would rather my beloved husband,
Martin Fife, suffer the torments of the

devil's reign.

The devil's reign. Whilst in prison
there, I...

I pray that Martin, through God's grace,
will find a way to scratch his name

from its pages.

Signed, Aaron, that's a Fife,
Wellington, 1680. Now, what in the hell

waiting 300 years for?

I don't know. Maybe the right moment. Or
the right family. You'll never find the

reason. That devil's reign.

That's new to me. I've never heard of
that. You mentioned that last night in

ceremony. You said something about, I
condemn my soul to the devil's reign.

Uh -huh. You know, that's Corbis.

This corpse believes that he can
separate souls from bodies.

Oh, Sam, don't be ridiculous. Well,
there's an old superstition, and what

described happened last night. Look,
Sam, we're talking about something

one of us understand. In the meantime, I
don't know what in the hell's happened

to Julie.

Wait, wait, Tom!

Right.

Mark Preston. He wasn't dead this
morning.

He's going to Redstone.

carried away.

Well,

at least she's going somewhere.

And that's more than you can say for
this movie.

Boy, I never thought I would be caught
dead saying this. But right now, I would

even welcome a phone call from Breather
with another one of those stupid

cornball jokes.

I mean, that is what you call
desperation time.

possibly be?

Hello, breather. Hello, breather. Is
that you?

It's still dead.

No, no, no, wait. Wait, wherever it is.
I can hear you just fine. It's okay.

It's okay.

Hello? Hello?

Just my luck.

Bad connection.

Well, anyway, maybe whoever it was will
just call right back.

Yeah, they're probably going to just
call right back in a minute. New second

now.

Yeah, the phone's going to ring.

Any minute now.

Any day now.

It's probably going to ring.

Maybe sometime in 85.

and among mortals for immortal delight.

Who denies pleasure denies life.

Who opens the portals of pleasure opens
the eye of eternity so

we may see the divine fire.

The symbols of Satan, exactly as it says
in the book. Yeah, well, that figures.

What is that?

Possessed by Corvus for 300 years.

From Wellington until now.

The devil's reign.

Yeah.

Put her on the altar of the Holy Flame.

I will prepare her for eternity.

No, no! Julie!

You, my brethren, found the book.

You may now bring down the vessel so we
may restore it to its holy place.

That won't be necessary.

Richards.

Dr. Samuel Richards.

Yes.

I've been aware of your work for these
many years, Doctor.

Corbis.

You want the devil's reign.

I want Tom and Julie Preston.

I do not underestimate your powers.

Nor do I overestimate them.

Thank you, Doctor.

I'm grateful that you are aware of them,
sir.

Unless you allow Tom and Julie Preston
to leave here safely... I

will destroy the devil's reign!

Martin Fife! Our salvation is at hand!

Bring me forth the vessel.

Listen! Listen to me!

You have the power now to end your
torment!

Destroy the bottle.

Without the devil's reign, he has no
hold on you. You are free to choose.

Martin Fife, you are sworn to Satan.

Come forth for your salvation.

This is your last chance.

In all eternity, it will never come
again.

Without the devil's reign, he has no
hold on you. You are free to choose.

Aramessa was right.

This is your last chance.

Even lies.

In all eternity, it will not come again.

Free the souls and free yourself.

If you destroy the devil's reign, you
will wander through eternity. A creature

of nothing.

Neither of heaven nor of hell.

In God's name, Martin.

Believe as Aramessa believed.

You can be saved.

Break the bottle.

You are sworn to Satan, Martin. No,
you're not.

The top story in the news this weekend
is the surprise return to pro football

Ernest Borgnine. Here with the details
is Elvira St. James.

Elvira? Thank you, Wendy.

Yes, in a surprise announcement today,
it was disclosed that veteran linebacker

Ernest Borgnine has been signed by the
Anaheim Rams.

When asked to comment, Borgnine said, I
only hope I can keep up with those

youngsters. After all, I'm not a kid
anymore.

In other football news, here's another
entry for the Hall.

Bill Shatner played single -handedly
against the Arizona Black Eyes in an

exhibition game for charity.

Shatner's at the 5, the 10, he breaks
the tackle, he's out in the open. A

run for Shatner.

Except for one thing.

He forgot to carry the football.

Wendy, join us at 10 for an update on
that bizarre story of a Pacoima woman

trapped in a car wash.

See you then.

Hey, why the long face, Julie? Come on,
put a smile on that kisser of yours.

Movie's over, ain't it?

Boy, just think of the long face a
hubby's gonna have when he finds out he

just slow dancing with Ernest Borgnine.

And did that melting scene last long
enough?

I thought it might be a good time to
raid the old fridge macabre, but all

was in it was some leftover liver from
last week's show.

So I just drove down to the Safeway to
pick up some munchies, but wouldn't you

know it?

Clothes for remodeling.

So I just drove out to Santa Monica and
had a nice seven -course Moroccan

dinner. And then next door they were
playing War and Peace on a double bill

Heaven's Gate. So I just sat through
both of them.

And then I decided to take the scenic
route back to the studio along

Drive. Stopped off at home to be the
cat, of course. Got back here, and that

melting scene was still going on.

Let's just... Ask a typical laid -back
viewer to comment on this one.

Honey, what did you think of Devil's
Reign?

It's as if I were watching a movie.

Yeah, yeah.

Just like that.

Well, speaking of movies, do we have one
for you next week or what?

I certainly hope so, because if we
don't, I'm out of a job. It's a horrible

story. I'll be looking for you then,
then. And until then, this will just

to hold you.

Unpleasant dream.

Raindrops are falling on my head And
just like the guy whose feet are too

big for his bed Nothing seems to fit
Those

raindrops are falling on my head They
keep falling So I

just didn't need some talking to the sun

And I said I didn't like the way he got
things done, sleeping on

the job.

Those raindrops are falling on my head,
they keep falling.

But there's one thing I know, the

blues they send to meet me won't do.

to greet me
