The Plague of the Zombies Page #2

Synopsis: Young workers are dying because of a mysterious epidemic in a little village in Cornwall. Doctor Thompson is helpless and asks professor James Forbes for help. The professor and his daughter Sylvia travel to Thomson. Terrible things happen soon, beyond imagination or reality. Dead people are seen near an old, unused mine. Late people seem to live suddenly. Professor Forbes presumes that black magic is involved and someone has extraordinary power. He doesn't know how close he is: the dead become alive because of a magic voodoo-ritual, and so they must serve their master as mindless zombies...

Well, where's that husband of yours?

Out on his rounds?

Yes, I expect so.

- Plenty of patients?

- Not as many as we'd like.

Oh, really?

There's been a lot of trouble.

What sort of trouble?

Oh, I...

I expect Peter would rather tell you

about it himself.

I'll see to the kettle. Excuse me.

You go and have a gossip

about your old school days.

I'll slip into the village

and see what I can find out.

All right, Father. Don't be long.

- Charlie.

- Aye, aye.

Will you have

a drink with me, Martinus?

Thank you, but I'll buy my own.

Beer, Tom.

I... I did my best for him.

I'm sorry.

- Wasn't good enough, was it?

- Apparently not.

What do you think it were, Doctor?

- That killed him?

- Aye, that killed him.

What was it that killed them all?

I don't know.

You don't know.

And you call yourself a doctor?

You won't let me find out.

If you let me carry out one post mortem.

It's no good cutting him up

after he's dead. It's too late.

- You're being ridiculous

- Ridiculous is it?

There's my brother lying dead

out there.

And twelve others like him. Twelve.

How long have you

been with us, Doctor?

Twelve months, isn't it?

That's one a month.

- Steady, Tom

- One a month.

Not a very good record, is it?

Are you trying to say

no one died before I came here?

At least we knew what they died from.

And if I was to tell you they died

from swamp fever or the plague

or some other nonsense,

would that make you happier?

- Yes, if it were the truth.

- Well, it wouldn't be the truth.

I'm not going to start telling

a lot of ridiculous lies

just to keep you people satisfied.

It's not good enough.

Oh, so we are not good enough

for you now?

- I didn't say that.

- it's what you meant, though.

Well, let me tell you something, Doctor.

You're not good enough for us.

Do you understand me?

You're not good enough!

- Ah, Doctor, there you are.

- Sir James!

- Good afternoon, gentlemen.

- Good afternoon.

We've met before

in rather distressing circumstances.

May I now introduce myself?

Sir James Forbes, Professor

of Medicine at London University.

And this young man was

my cleverest and most able pupil.

I hope you realize

how lucky you are to have him here.

Landlord, see these gentlemen

have a drink with me, will you?

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Come on, Peter,

are you ready?

- Good afternoon, gentlemen.

- Good afternoon.

- Sir James, what are you doing here?

- You've lost weight, my boy.

- Alice not feeding you properly?

- Yes, but...

- Aren't you glad to see me?

- You've no idea.

- Why have you come?

- You wrote to me.

It's very kind of you

to come all this way, sir.

I've just seen Alice.
