The Serpent and the Rainbow Page #3

will shell out money for nothing?

- You think this is about money?

- Yeah.

The way Schoonbacher spoke of you, it

was as though you could walk on water.

Now I know why. Sh*t floats.

Yeah, well, why the hell

are you getting involved?

- Will you talk to me?

- Christophe!

Christophe, it's me. Dr Duchamp.

You remember me, don't you?

I remember.

This is Dr Alan.

He's here to ask you some questions.

Christophe.

I need you to remember

what happened before... you died.

You spoke about it once to me.

I remember... it all.

The coffin, the... the burial.

I... I saw it all.

Were you sick?

What was it that you felt?

The symptoms.

I heard the dirt falling, falling over me.

The darkness pressed me down.

He says the bokor, the one that made

him like this, beats him with a whip.

The bokor took his soul

and sealed it away.

He makes me do evil things.

I'm no longer free.

He sends me into people's dreams.

I'll need to... run a blood test

and I'd like to get a thumb print.

- No, I cannot take him to the clinic.

- This is my place. Not with the living.

He will find me.

No, Christophe, you're not dead.

Whatever they did to you, they did it

to trick you into thinking that.

You have a good memory.

Tell us what you remember...

...so we can stop the bokors

from doing this to anybody else.

Help us, Christophe.

It's a powder.

A poison.

It run through the skin...

...to the soul.

Christophe...

Through the skin.

A powder.

H, blanc.

Lucien. We need to ask for your help

one more time. We found Christophe.

- He told us about the poison...

- Not another word.

Let's go inside.

If you blunder into this,

my people get hurt.

The world should know

what is happening here.

You see? She is an idealist.

She simply does not understand how

dangerous these times have become.

What I'm after is gonna save

too many lives. I'm not gonna back off.

I know you know the man

that makes the powder.

One name. Just one.

The one in the hat is our man, I think.

- Louis Mozart?

- This is important?

My friend represents powerful interests,

rich American interests.

- American?

- That's right.

They have an enemy they would like

to turn into a zombie.

A zombie, huh?

- That is all?

- That's all.

$100.

You've come to the right place.

Your enemy is as good as dead.

I will catch his soul like a spider

catches a fly in his web...

...and pop it in a canari...

...like this one.

You keep the zombie's soul sealed up.

It makes the flesh your slave.

It gives you power.

You send it into people's dreams.

Whose soul is that?

This place's previous owner.

Is that right?

$100.

I cast a spell, the coup l'aire, tonight.

It's not the spell that I want.
