Relic Hunter
209 Cross of Voodoo

(chanting)

The zombie spell is broken.

You are human again.

(chanting)

Is it safe?

Yeah, she's just gone
to get some stamps.

Good timing.

There you go.

You're late today.

Just felt my...

Beeper go off.

You...

Sure it was your
beeper?

I got to go.

What?

Something wrong?

Yeah, I just got another call
from the dean.

Apparently, matt and kelly's parents
still haven't heard from them.

Kids partying go
incommunicado all the time.

It's been 2 weeks,
claudia.

Must've been a
hot party.

They were checking in twice a
week.

Have you spoken to the new
orleans police department?

Yeah, they didn't
come up with anything.

You didn't force them to go to
new orleans for their research.

But I encouraged them to.

They're my students,
nigel.

Can you try again,
please?

Okay.

(phone ringing)

(professor richard:) the
thing is, you see,

Voodoo takes the basic
tenets of catholicism

And incorporates practices from
a variety of african traditions:

The fon, nago, ibos,
the dahomeans, the congos --

Oh, and the
senegalese.

Professor richard, we really
need to talk about matt and kelly.

Oh, right, right. You sounded
concerned on the phone.

Well, we haven't heard
from them for a while.

Well, they've been doing some
very good work.

They're very sharp. They came up
with information

On haitian rituals that even I
didn't know about.

When was the last time
you saw them?

Oh, a couple of weeks ago,
maybe.

(prof. Richard:) actually, I was
quite surprised when you called.

I assumed they'd left new
orleans by now.

(landlord:) they ain't
been here for a while.

Still owe me for last month.

Kicked them out before with all
the gris gris was hanging in there.

Gris gris?

Don't get me wrong. I like
to pass a good time myself,

But they done left the
place beaucoups crasseux.

Do you have any idea
what he's talking about?

You english?

Uh huh.

I had a friend move over there
about 6 years ago named beau,

Beau la croix.
You know him?

No, no, I don't
think so.

Huh?

No.

Your friend was into
some strange stuff.

What kind of
strange stuff?

See for yourself.

(sydney:)looks like matt and kelly
were getting into their research.

Some of their notes.

Have you any idea where
they might have gone?

If I did, I'd send the
cops over to get my money.

You see them, you tell them
they want their camera back,

They'd best clean this mess up
and get me the rest of the rent.

Camera?

(landlord:)only thing worth
a damn they left behind.

But I'll be lucky if it and the
security deposit cover this mess.

There's a tape
inside.

How much?

$500.

$500 for a tape?

Afraid it only comes
as a set.

Take a cheque?

Only cash.

Of course.

(nigel:)did you see
those mutton chops?

The man looked like
captain queeg.

And then when he asked
me if I knew beau -- beau?

Just because I've lived in
England is like asking me

If I know the queen.

Let's just hope there's
something here we can use.

Yeah, so do I
for $500.

Why don't you check these
notes while I call claudia?

(sydney:)looks like
someone broke in, nigel.

(sydney:) nigel.

(nigel:) sorry.

It doesn't look like
there's anything missing.

You all right?

Did she see you
take her brush?

This woman needs a taste
of the power of uto.

(speaking in french)

(kelly:) wait, let me get the
camera steady. Okay, matt.

(matt:) all right, it's Tuesday,
November the twelfth.

We're in the voodoo church of
legba, duvall, louisiana.

This is so awesome. Right up
here, it's the cross of the uto.

No one has seen it for over a
hundred years

And kelly and I might be the
first ones to find it.

So, man, we are so stoked.

Now, we've got to go back to new
orleans tonight

To meet up with professor
richard

And then we'll be back here
tomorrow morning.

The last time professor
richard met with them.

We met this voodoo priest...

(kelly:) matt. He told
us not to say anything.

Put the camera on the tripod for
a second and come up here.

Kelly's a little freaked out.

I think she's taking her job a
little too seriously.

Yeah, why don't you tell us
your theories, agent scully?

I'm not being paranoid

Because a lot of strange things
have been happening lately.

Right, like satan and
his voodoo posse

Might carjack us on
the way home.

It's not funny, matt.

I'm serious.

Kelly looked pretty
scared.

Cross of uto?

Yeah. It's a voodoo icon,
as I recall.

I thought it was supposed
to be in haiti.

Yeah.

I looked through matt
and kelly's notes.

They say there's a voodoo
sect here that worships uto.

Probably in that church that
was on the video. What else?

Well, there are two symbols
that represent these sects,

A spider and a serpent.

The serpent represents
the second in command,

A sort of lieutenant.

Then there's the leader,
the... The sect's king.

It's represented by a spider.

I think we should head
down to duvall,

See what we can find out.

Maybe we can find the
church.

Maybe we can find the priest
they're talking about.

I think we should run this
tape by professor richard first,

See what he has
to say.

(gasping in pain)

Sydney?

My shoulder.

(gasping in pain)

I believe your professor's
in some discomfort.

(claudia:) hey, wait, where are
you going? Come back.

Don't I have to sign for this?

(recording)the cellular customer
you are trying to reach

Is not available or has
travelled beyond the service area.

(matt on video:) right up here
is the cross of the uto.

No one has seen it for over a
hundred years

And kelly and I might be the
first ones to find it.

So, man, we are so stoked.

Now, we've got to go back to new
orleans tonight

To meet up with professor
richard,

Then we'll be back here...

The cross of
uto.

It's amazing.

It's been missing for over a
hundred years.

I had no idea they were onto its
location.

Your students really are very
good.

We also found some notes
of matt and kelly's.

Have you heard anything about
a sect worshipping uto here?

No, I didn't even know that
the cross was in the country.

Legend has it that
it's still in haiti.

You all right?

Yeah, just a little
sore.

What's the matter?

Someone broke into
our room.

I must've sprained
a muscle.

Someone broke into
your room?

We should get going if we want
an early start to duvall tomorrow.

Sydney, duvall isn't new
orleans.

They're not very receptive
to outsiders there.

There can be some very
unfriendly elements in voodoo.

We'll be careful.

Goodbye.

(nigel:)so this
is duvall.

(sydney:)yeah.

I guess professor
richard was right.

They're not exactly
rolling out the red carpet.

Yeah. I don't see anything
that looks like a church.

(sydney:)kind of strange. No
church in a small town like this.

(nigel:)let's see if there's
someone in that store we can talk to.

(nigel:)I'm getting a
very strange feeling.

Like we're being
watched?

Yeah.

Yeah. Let's keep going.

There's got to be someone
here that'll talk to us.

You want to know about
the cross and the students.

How did you know?

Look for a fire in
the woods tonight,

An hour after sundown,
south of the motel.

Wait.

Not here. Tonight, in
the woods.

(nigel:)sun's going down. Should
be getting dark pretty soon.

(sydney:)our accommodations
for the evening.

(nigel:)I don't suppose
the building inspectors

Get out to the swamp
very often.

Sydney, about meeting
this man tonight,

With what the professor
said and all,

Don't you think it
could be a little bit...

Dangerous?

Mm.

Uh huh.

Thanks again. All I wanted
was a nice teaching job.

You've been avoiding
me.

No, I...

Tell me something.

What's wrong? I
am a...

Healthy red-blooded
woman,

Don't seem to have any
problems getting dates.

So tell me, what is
the problem here?

Nothing, it's just...
It's against my religion.

Oh, please. I've seen
you partying at the pub.

I have a girlfriend.

You and sharon broke
up a month ago.

I don't even know
you.

Nothing escapes me on
this campus.

Do you hear that? Fire drill.
Well, you really should...

Very well, you leave
me no choice.

Ow, my hair. What are
you, nuts?

I will have that man.

(nigel:) there we go.

Not taking a shower in this
room.

(claudia on phone:) hello?

(nigel:) claudia.

(claudia:) nigel,
where are you?

I've been trying to get
a hold of you for hours.

I'm sorry, claudia.

There doesn't seem to
be a lot of reception

For cell phones in
deliverance-land.

Thought you were
on bourbon street.

(nigel:) no, it's a long
story. What's so urgent?

I got a package from matt
and kelly in new orleans.

What's in it?

I don't know. I would never open one of
sydney's personal packages without her...

Claudia.

It's a bunch of paperwork.

What kind of paperwork?

I don't know. There's like 300
pages here.

(claudia:) looks like
research or something.

Overnight it to the hotel in
new orleans as soon as you can.

Okay. I missed today's
pickup

But I'll send it out
first thing tomorrow.

Thank you.

(knocking)

You might want to put a
jacket on before we go out.

What do you mean?

I can't seem to
find my hairbrush.

Can I borrow yours?

Sure.

Nice bird.

Thanks.

Thank you.

(nigel:) do you think there
are snakes out here?

(sydney:) yeah, but only a couple
whose species are poisonous.

Oh, that's real reassuring,
thank you, yes.

Oh, don't worry. They scurry
away when they hear people coming.

Really?

Now, the alligators, they
could be a problem.

I think I see something.

What is it?

Not sure.

What do you think?

Does that look like
a fire to you?

Maybe.

(nigel:) something's not
right. It's very quiet.

Yeah, I think we're
onto something.

Did you see that?

No.

Exactly.

(sydney:) fire. Looks
like a... Huh.

(nigel:) sydney!

(gasping in pain)

You all right?

Yeah. I guess that flash
must have scared them off.

I guess.

(nigel:) I just can't
believe that those creatures

Are the same matt
and kelly

I saw in your class
2 weeks ago.

It was them. Or some
form of who they were.

And now they've turned
into some sort of zombie?

No, zombies are the
living dead.

Your friends are still
very much alive,

But deveraux has them
under a strong spell.

Who's deveraux?

A powerful bokor.

A bokor is like
a sorcerer.

This will help
with the pain.

The cross of uto gives
deveraux his power.

What kind of power?

The cross can be used for evil
by men like deveraux,

Gives them great strength
and control of others.

They are under his spell and
will do whatever he wishes.

(nigel:)this deveraux
must have known

That matt and kelly
were close to finding it.

The cross can also be
used to heal the sick

And break spells cast
by a bokor.

And now, it is the only thing
that can save your friends.

(sydney:) where can
we find it?

Legend says the cross
was stolen from haiti

By deveraux's ancestors
and brought here.

They hid it with a spell
that gives him his dark power,

Supposedly somewhere in
this very bayou.

To break the power, we
must find the cross.

Did I do something
wrong?

Your hair. It's brown.

Yeah, yes, it is.

You must change it before
the next full moon.

Change it to what?

Not brown.

(nigel:) matt and kelly mentioned
they were coming to see you.

(nigel:) the symbols
look african.

(witch doctor:) fulani.

(nigel:)it has tribal
roots in northern senegal.

The symbols on the carvings
show where the cross might be.

Half of it seems to
have broken off.

It is only half.

When complete, the carving
shows the location

Of four talismans placed
near the cross.

They are part of
the spell.

Only by locating the talismans
can we find the cross.

So, who has the
other half?

It was lost long ago
in battle.

But your friends discovered
it in their research.

They were bringing it to me,
but deveraux got to them first.

I'm not sure if he got
the carving.

I was hoping that maybe
you had it.

We searched their
apartment.

There was no wood carving,
nothing that looked like this.

Then it is hopeless.

Maybe not.

The package matt and kelly
sent to the office.

It's still at the office. Let's
go back to the motel, call claudia.

Syd', it's 2:00 in
the morning.

I am not happy about
this.

Yes, I'm sorry, claudia,
but it's very important.

Now, you're sure there's not a
wood carving in the package?

I'm positive. It's
just paper.

But they must've made a copy.

It's standard research protocol.

Probably made a
rubbing of it.

Claudia, look for
a rubbing.

It's like an impression taken
of an engraved object.

Okay.

And it should have
african writing on it.

Have you been a
witch doctor long?

I mean, I'm... I'm sure you
don't go to school for it

Or anything like that,
not in a university sense.

I mean, can you imagine
a bachelor of science

From harvard in witch
doctoring? Poof.

Not brown.

No.

Wait a minute, I think
I found something.

Great. Scan it and e-mail
it to nigel.

It's on its way.

It says the cross is buried
in a chamber under the ground.

It must remain there for
deveraux to keep his power.

But we have to find
the talismans first.

Yes. The first is located
on an oak tree

At the mouth of silver creek.

Silver creek is not
far from here.

(nigel:) the first
talisman.

(sydney:)pentagram.
Let's mark it.

Now, all we need to
do is find the other 3.

(nigel:) okay, we're more or less
in the centre of the 4 talismans.

(sydney:) I don't see anything
that would mark an altar.

(nigel:) the carving says the talismans
hold the cross' power in place.

Well, then the logical
place would be the centre.

You don't believe
that, do you?

Well where else
would it be?

Hold this.

Now, the talismans are
supposed to show us

The location of
the cross, right?

These are the 4 locations of the
talismans we've already found.

Each of those talismans has
happened to be a pentagram.

So if we connect these and
finish it as a pentagram,

The fifth point is where
the cross should be.

The top of the pentagram

Is the point of strongest
magical energy.

The other 4 points
support it.

Now, a pentagram's points are
equidistant from the centre.

If we measure the
distance from here

To any one of
these torches,

The fifth point must be the
same distance in that direction.

To save your friends,

You must place the cross
to the front of their heads

And chant this prayer:

Umbala netay uto.

(together:)umbala netay uto.

Where are you
going?

Deveraux will try
to stop us.

I can perform a ceremony
that may counter his power,

But I must go
back to my hut.

Start measuring.

From that one?

Yeah.

(sydney:) 45, 46, 47,

48, 49, 50.

Well, this is the
same distance.

Probably somewhere
around here.

Nigel.

What if we align it with the
direction of the points we found?

Stay on my tail,
we'll go slow.

(nigel:) pentagrams.

The tablet says
pentagrams

Hold the cross' power
in place.

Is that it?

The spider and the
serpent.

The leader and
his lieutenant,

Like in matt and
kelly's notes.

Strange. Feels like there's
an electrical current

Running through it.
Here.

No, no, thanks. Let's
just take it upstairs

And go find matt
and kelly.

What?

This was way too easy
getting in here.

Where's this deveraux
guy?

(creaking)

What's that?

(creaking)

Nigel, the cross.

I know about the cross, but
what about the words?

(nigel:) I can't remember
the words.

Umbala...

Umbala netay uto.

Umbala netay uto.

Thanks.

(deveraux:) now, you didn't
think I was just going to let

You walk out of here with my
cross, did you?

Deveraux.

Looks like a
snake to me.

Let me show you
how it's done.

Don't be discouraged.

You did hurt me.
In here.

Umbala netay
uto.

Where are we?

(sydney:)don't worry, you'll be
all right from now on. Let's go.

Nigel, why don't you take
them back to the motel?

If deveraux is the serpent, we
have the spider to worry about.

I'm going to go visit
our witch doctor.

Okay. Come on.

(sydney:) hello?

Hello?

Richard.

(knocking)

Sydney got back
early.

(nigel:)mr. Richard.

Hello. I... I was concerned
about you and sydney and...

You found them? Matt,
kelly, you're okay.

(nigel:)they're a
little disoriented,

But I... I think they'll be all right.

Please come in.

Thank you. What on earth
happened to you two?

We're not really sure. Our
memories are really weak.

(richard:) well, I'm just glad
that the two of you are all right.

As I recall, once the cross
is removed from the chamber,

The power it gives you
and deveraux is gone.

(sydney:) nigel, richard
is...

The spider.

(nigel:)not anymore.
His power is gone.

(kelly:)I don't think we'll be
able to use this for our thesis.

A thesis which happens
to be 3 weeks late.

They convicted him of
assault and kidnapping.

(sydney:)well, that should put him
out of business for a long time.

Yes.

So tell me about
this voodoo ceremony

That the priest performed
on the cross.

It was amazing.

Yeah, they put the cross in
this shrine in the church.

The sun just beamed
off it

And threw this awesome
light show on the wall.

(matt:)and then they
recited this protection spell

Using animal bones
and... And potions.

And the priest said that any
bokors won't be able to touch it

After the blessing
ritual they did.

Well, it's good to know that
it's in the right hands.

Yes.

Oh, and there's one more
thing that we want to show you.

Oh, my goodness,
congratulations.

Yes, well, we thought
about living together

For a little while
longer.

Right, but then
we figured

We pretty much had seen
each other at our worst.

(kelly:) yeah.

Nigel, the gangsta look
is so over.

And besides, you're supposed
to wear it like this.

Well, it's only 12 hours
until the full moon.

For the most beautiful
woman in the world.

(claudia:)for me? You
shouldn't have.

So I'll see you
tonight then.

7:00? Seems like an
eternity away from you.

I don't understand. What
did you do to that poor man?

What do you mean?

Well, a week ago,

He didn't want to come
within 3 miles of you.

Now, he's practically
proposing marriage.

How did you do it?

I wore him down.
