00:00His hitters were, uh, so-called Zobops.
00:14Zobops?
00:17Yeah, man, I'm not kidding you.
00:20They're, uh, gangs that roam the boonies out in Haiti.
00:24Basically just hoods that claim to be sorcerers,
00:27possessed by voodoo gods.
00:29Go ahead, laugh, man.
00:32They scare the hell out of people and then rip them off.
00:35Kill you for a pack of smokes.
00:38Well, Legba brought Zobops to Miami.
00:42I'm not kidding you.
00:44His contribution to our way of life, I mean,
00:46drove me crazy for three and a half years.
00:49Where did the Zobops go after Legba Blue Town?
00:52Oh, they chilled out, went back to being regular-type bums
00:55they were before Legba showed up.
00:58That's a, that's a hell of a story, Sonny.
01:01Yeah, I wish I was making it up.
01:03Call me.
01:04Now I get to see the end of it.
01:06I've been waiting a long time for this one.
01:09This what you came for?
01:11You got it.
01:12Maximilien Ildefense.
01:17A.K.A. Legba.
01:19Born in Haiti.
01:21Naturalized American citizen.
01:23To be buried here.
01:25What do you say we open her up?
01:30Be my guest, pal.
01:51What's that for?
01:53Proof.
01:55Say cheese, pal.
01:59Boom.
02:13You, you.
02:18Phantom living.
02:22A ghost before my eyes
02:26Deep to feel it
02:29Someone rose my life
02:33Said something here at night
02:38I guess the Bonner finally made it.
02:41Maybe that's why they call him late.
02:44Runs beside him to a barrel burning high
02:50We're being awfully thorough here, man.
02:53Not many crimes a dead man can break.
03:00It ain't Legba we're here for, Rico.
03:02It's all his friends.
03:05I figure with him gone, we've got a chance now
03:07to shake his whole operation.
03:09See what falls out.
03:20What a lovely lady.
03:34Easy there, Romeo.
03:37Easy does it.
03:40That's Marie Sansarique.
03:43Legba's former sweetie.
03:45She's gorgeous.
03:46Easy does it.
04:04Turn around, turn around.
04:08Don't let this guy make you.
04:11Sylvia Romulus.
04:13Right-hand man to Mr. Legba.
04:18But he's most likely to take over the business.
04:27It appears he's been taking care of more than Papa's business.
04:31Get your hurry, Sylvia.
04:46Just because of the story
04:48Something I thought was like
04:53That's what she's been taking care of more than Papa.
04:55I don't remember him 2019.
05:08The business lately.
05:09I don't know for him anymore.
05:11I can't believe in this fight.
05:14Shit.
05:14196418290330 desert.
05:16I do.
05:18I do.
05:19ZOMBIE!

09:49If someone wanted to appear as if they were dead,
09:53they could take some of this toxin and...
09:55And revive in two days.
09:57It's possible.
10:02Trouble is, some kind of brain damage
10:03usually goes along with it.
10:06Let's face it, anyone who uses this stuff for salad dressing
10:08ain't exactly starting out Nobel Prize material.
10:11Some of your more courageous voodoo priests
10:21use this in their ceremonies.
10:24And mixed with some homegrown psychedelics,
10:30produces something you might call their version of a zombie.
10:38I'm very much once too often.
10:41Look, I, uh, gotta run, Lieutenant.
10:44Let me know if you grab the guy, and, uh...
10:48Don't let him bite you in the neck.
10:58All right, there was one guy.
11:01Used to be Legba's right arm.
11:05Now he's a numbers runner.
11:06His name is, uh, Romulus.
11:09He might be able to lead us to him.
11:15Keep me posted.
11:18Aye, aye, Captain Zombie.
11:20Well, well, well. Signs of a little activity.
11:23Looks like Romulus is nervous.
11:26I'll bet you he's the one who put the hit on old Legba's coffin.
11:29Maybe some of Papa's business has been sticking to Romulus's paws.
11:36So what? A dead man's business?
11:38Dead man's foodoo. I can't believe people buy into that kind of weirdness.
11:45The main squeeze seems to think so.
11:47This scene is not serene.
11:54Legba left me in charge of things.
11:56Yes, to run the business, not to take it away.
11:58I thought he was dead.
11:59You lied to him. You stole from him.
12:00Just stay with me. Get in the car.
12:05A sionale.
12:06No, Ketem.
12:07Legba sees out the back of his head.
12:08Mm.
12:09I mean, you're good.
12:10You're good.
12:11You're good.
12:12No.
12:13No, no, no.
12:14You're good.
12:15It's very good.
12:16It's very good.
12:17And you're good.
12:18Oh, my God.
12:19Now, let's go to the house.
12:20Let's go.
12:21Let's go.
12:22Let's go.
12:23Let's go.
12:24Let's go.
12:25Let's go.
12:26But Legba sees out the back of his head.
12:35Hear that?
12:36Yeah.
12:37She's leaving the sinking ship.
12:39She don't want to be around when Legba's boys show up.
12:43What does she think she can hide?
12:46Right now, that's not our concern, Val.
12:56Ever see anything like these, honeys?
13:08They can be yours.
13:10Because I mean what I say.
13:13That's right.
13:14Anything on this lot, new or used, RV, compact,
13:20it could be yours for 200 down.
13:22What do you say? 200 down?
13:24That's right, 200 down.
13:27You come down with more than that figure, and I will match it.
13:30You come down with $200 or more, I will match that figure.
13:35So you come on down and you see Bobby profile.
13:39Bobby cares.
13:41Cut.
13:41That's a wrap, people.
13:42Bobby, you were rocking.
13:45Good.
13:46Got me a live wire over here.
13:49Romulus, my man.
13:51Let's talk.
13:54Bobby profile.
13:58Mr. All-night movie.
14:00The man would buy time in your dreams if he could.
14:13I don't think Romulus is buying a car.
14:17Maybe Mr. Bobby P washes dirty money for lowlifes like him.
14:23Yeah.
14:24Romulus is in a hurry for a quick wash and dry on his way out of town.
14:29Well, here's what we did.
14:50The man would buy a car when he would buy a car.
14:51Let's use the car.
14:53Keeping the fate?
15:03Apoletwa, they said you were dead.
15:08I remove the barrier.
15:14I walk with the living and the dead.
15:21As I see fit, you insult the loa that lives within you.
15:33You walk up home and live like a rich man.
15:51Welcome, Baron Sandy, master of the graveyard.
16:04Here we go.
16:12Here we go.
16:32Sileo, Romulus, got bad laws inside him.
17:02Time to cast a death spell.
17:20So you think Romulus is making some last-minute collections, and then he's gonna blow down?
17:27Mm-hmm.
17:29That's what we've been watching him do all day, isn't it?
17:32Collections, and meet with his people.
17:40Come on, Crockett.
17:43We just saw Legba in cold storage.
17:47Maybe somebody misplaced his corpse so they could run around town selling voodoo equipment to chumps like Silvio Romulus.
17:59I think it's just another scam, man.
18:04Yeah, well, you just keep right on thinking, pal.
18:08Someday you'll get good at it.
18:10You know more than nature.
18:17Sooner of time.
18:19I move and I go in time, fast or slow.
18:25I move and I go in time, less or more.
18:30Wet the dry, dry, high to high.
18:32Yo, August.
18:39No, no, no, Legba.
18:41Good to bad, crazy or sane.
18:45Oh, you make the rules and you play the game.
18:50Oh, Romulus must have racked up some games in there.
19:05Big or small, we're all apart.
19:09Oh, well, John.
19:13Formation.
19:14Wait a minute.
19:17I don't recognize those guys.
19:21Those are Legba's boys.
19:23Formation.
19:27Deviation.
19:31Legba.
19:32Zobar's.
20:00Zobar's.
20:02This guy, Legba, isn't funny anymore.
20:12So, Romulus is packing to leave.
20:17Making last minute collections.
20:19Going to see his launderer, Bobby P.
20:23So I figure after we chase Legba out of town,
20:26Romulus probably decided that the business was his.
20:29And now you think Legba's coming back to prove otherwise.
20:34Man, nobody's going to risk brain damage for a handful of cashola and a bad girlfriend.
20:41Come on, Rico.
20:42We've seen people killed for a nickel bag every day.
20:47It's the voodoo part, Sonny.
20:49I just don't believe it.
20:50Neither do I.
20:52It's got to be something, though.
20:54There's a lot of other people that do believe it.
20:56So why don't you just go bust him?
21:00For what?
21:01Impersonating a dead man?
21:05Besides, where are we going to find him?
21:08Huh?
21:09You were there.
21:10Now you see him.
21:11Now you don't.
21:14You're talking voodoo, man.
21:17Why don't you just give it up?
21:18Where do we stand?
21:26Legba one.
21:28Romulus zip.
21:35I'm going to put a 24-hour surveillance profile's car lot dealership.
21:42He's holding Legba's money now.
21:43I want the two of you to get close to the girl, Marie.
21:49Legba's come back to take a hold of his possession.
21:51She's going to be at the top of the list.
22:06I'll bet it all looks good on you.
22:10You following me around?
22:11More like waiting to see who shows up.
22:15You need a place to stay?
22:17Why?
22:18Want to adopt me?
22:20Where's Legba?
22:23He's dead.
22:25Now, come on.
22:26Maria, we know better than that.
22:30Romulus is dead.
22:32Legba caught up with him last night.
22:35Yeah, looks like the gang's all here.
22:37All of Legba's people are working again.
22:39Farron Samdi with his pickaxe, Ogu with the saver.
22:45What are you going to do when they come after you?
22:47Legba won't hurt me.
22:48Without his help, I wouldn't even be in this country.
22:52Oh, yeah, I know the story.
22:53That's how Legba got his start, by bringing Haitians into the country on boats that he owned.
22:59He owned, and weren't you lucky that he liked your looks?
23:05Because if he hadn't, the group you were with wouldn't have made it here in one piece.
23:10Do you have any idea how many Haitians bought passage from Legba and ended up washed up on our beaches around here with their throats cut?
23:23Or how many mindless zombies he made out of people that he let live?
23:28Murder, zombies, I don't know anything about any of that.
23:35Because you don't want to know?
23:42If you want to catch him, you better do it quick.
23:57He's leaving for Haiti.
23:59He only came back to get money Ramlis owed him.
24:04And he told you that?
24:06Ramlis told me.
24:10So what are you going to do?
24:12My friends will look after me.
24:14Your friends?
24:16Your friends are dropping fast.
24:18Here's the number where you can reach us, day or night.
24:22Use it.
24:27Whew
24:46You're going somewhere?
24:47You did Ramlis wrong.
24:50He was most disloyal, Mon Petit
24:55I will be returning soon to our native land.
25:02You will be coming with me.
25:07You'll never possess me. I won't be a part of this.
25:25Pepe, give me a second.
25:34Do you believe in all this stuff? All this voodoo and zombies?
25:41Do you believe in the ocean?
25:46No matter if you do or you don't, if you step in it,
25:51for sure, you're gonna get wet.
25:56Hey Al.
26:02I want to be safe.
26:04Legba says he's taking me back to Haiti on the Blackbird.
26:08I won't go. Please.
26:10All right, take it easy.
26:12I'll come and get you. Just tell me where you are.
26:15Uh, okay. I'm at the phone booth at Biscayne and 52nd.
26:21Now I don't know if it'll take you back to the future.
26:25But what I do know is that it can be yours.
26:29Like anything else on this lot,
26:31Bobby Profile thinks about the poor man.
26:34The man who doesn't have money.
26:36The man who needs a car.
26:37The man who needs a car.
26:38The car's gonna work.
26:39The man who needs a car.
26:40The car's gonna work.
26:41The man who needs a car.
26:57That's it. Very important.
27:04Come on, come on. Get that trace.
27:07Yeah.
27:08Did you get my message?
27:10Yeah, I saw the graffiti. Mm-hmm. Lovely, lovely. Very nice.
27:15Cost me a brand new paint job. Mm-hmm.
27:18Oh, that's not all.
27:20Mm-hmm.
27:22Meanwhile, Silvio Romulus is dead.
27:25The dead speak out my mouth.
27:28Romulus is crying.
27:31He wants you to save his soul from hell.
27:36What do you think? I'm some kind of pope?
27:42The only thing that would be necessary
27:46is the 500,000 Romulus owes me.
27:53Unless you would like to join him where he is.
28:02I ain't got that kind of money just lying around.
28:06I mean, I got it, you know, invested.
28:11I did a bunch of things for Silvio, you know, money markets and offshore banks, things like that.
28:19You know, I paid him off nice and clean in dividends, and I didn't give it to him all at once.
28:29I'll tell you what I'll do.
28:32You show me, uh, you show me the title of Silvio's assets, then I'll turn over the portfolio, then all I need is your signature.
28:43You want my signature.
28:47I wrote it on your vehicle.
28:52I wrote it on Romulus.
28:58Would you like me to write it on you?
29:11Guys like that, I don't need.
29:23Voodoo garbage, I don't need.
29:28Ritual killings, I don't need that either.
29:32And I don't need the heat coming around here either.
29:39You heard about what happened to Silvio, huh?
29:44Got the pickaxe!
29:47Think I want that?
29:48No thanks.
29:49I got too much volume coming in and out of here.
29:55Tell you what we're gonna do.
29:58When that man calls back, and he is certainly gonna call back, we're gonna make a nice deal with him.
30:06We're gonna set up a meeting tomorrow night at I-91, north of the construction site.
30:12You're gonna be there and whack him.
30:15That should be enough, guys.
30:17Let's get out of here.
30:22Hey, what the-
30:23I've come to collect Lake Bus money.
30:26What are you doing here?
30:27I've got until tomorrow.
30:29All of it.
30:32Less to business.
30:44What the hell's happening here?
30:46You're having a fire cell.
30:53Nothing.
30:54Tell you.
30:55They're family!
30:56They're family!

42:04Sonny, highway patrol thinks somebody made the truck headed out toward Kendall Estates.
42:10I'm on my way.
42:12You do not believe...
42:18You do not believe...
42:24You do not believe the laws live within you.
42:32You do not believe the laws live within you.
42:40The laws live within you.
42:46They do.
42:48You just forgot them.
42:50You just forgot them.
42:52Remove his jacket.
42:56The alles.
43:02They kill you.
43:04The dollars may kill you.
43:06The doors, they kill you.
43:29Don't be stupid, you gotta stop!
43:36I, too, was with the police in Haiti.
43:47When I pay the bribes in American money,
43:57I will be a policeman again.
44:07Not you!
44:11Your nerves will be too fragile.
44:17Your courage will shiver like glass.
44:23Even if you survive, the only law you will serve
44:34is the law of the walking dead.
44:40You do not wish to return with me to Haiti.
44:55You are a good American now.
45:08Stay here.
45:11Stay here.
45:14Stay here.
45:17Stay here.
45:19Stay here. Stay here. Stay here. For eternity.
45:49You see the vision. You can't touch it. You got no hand. You got no legs. You got no will.
46:13Your world is made of glass. No more real than the image in a mirror.
46:31I want you to canvas this whole area. Spread out and check everything. Turn over every leaf, every twig.
46:47You got no hands. You got no hands. You got no hands.
47:05You got no hands. You got no hands. You got no hands.
47:21You got no hands. You got no hands. You got no hands.
47:37You got no hands. You got no hands.
48:01Check it. Get an ambulance.
48:13Hold on, buddy.
48:43Hold on, buddy.
49:13Hold on, buddy.
49:43Hold on, buddy.
50:13Hold on, buddy.
50:43Hold on, buddy.
51:13It's okay, buddy.
51:20Take it easy.
51:24Take it easy.
51:26Sonny, I'm okay.
51:29Sonny Legbrook killed her, man.
51:33He killed Marie.
51:35He's going back to Haiti, man.
51:37We gotta get out of here, because he killed Marie.
51:41Take it easy.
51:41What's a blackbird?
51:43What's a blackbird?
51:43It's a Haitian freighter.
51:49It's a freighter.
51:51Zito and Swiatek are there.
51:52What about Tubbs?
51:58He'll be okay.
51:59He'll be okay.
52:03Seein Legbrook killed Marie right in front of him, not being able to do anything about it.
52:08It rattled his cage a little.
52:10It's understandable.
52:11I don't want him out there.
52:17I don't want him out there.
52:17You can't rely on him.
52:26He'll be okay.
52:27You sure you're up to this?
52:56There's only one way to find out.
53:00And if I'm not, I want to know about it now.
53:08What do you suppose is in the RV, Larry?
53:10I don't know.
53:12Dirty money and dirty goats.
53:26Unless Legbrook's learned how to make himself invisible, he's got to be in that RV.
53:35Let's go.
53:38I don't know.
53:38It ain't nothing.
53:43See you later.
53:45We're out.
53:47How'll money be?
53:48And you're in your house.
53:49That's if you have a little house.
53:55Let's go.
57:33You're safe now, Marie.
