00:00:01 #1 We're almost there, honey.

00:00:03 #2 It's a little while longer than your vacation starts.

00:00:05 #3 I'm getting home, mother.

00:00:07 #4 We should be pretty close right now.

00:00:09 #5 The agent said it was about 12 miles from Highway 10,

00:00:22 #6 and that was Highway 10 back there.

00:00:24 #7 But you know we should have asked for better directions

00:00:26 #8 at the last gas station.

00:00:28 #9 Listen, I've never gotten us lost before.

00:00:30 #10 Okay, Debbie, I'll put the top up.

00:00:32 #11 Never mind, Mike. Debbie can come up and sit between us.

00:00:42 #12 Now that's better, baby.

00:00:45 #13 Why don't we sing a song?

00:00:55 #14 Why don't we sing a song to help pass the time?

00:00:59 #15 Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream

00:01:07 #16 Marry, marry, marry, marry, life is down to stream.

00:01:12 #17 Marry, marry, marry, marry, life is down to dream.

00:01:16 #18 Marry, marry, marry, marry, life is down to stream.

00:01:21 #19 Marry, marry, marry, marry, life is down to dream.

00:01:29 #20 Right, mister. I see you have a taillight problem.

00:02:09 #21 No excuse. Running late, first vacation, kid getting tired.

00:02:13 #22 It's too bad.

00:02:15 #23 So can't you give us a break officer?

00:02:18 #24 Well, all right. All right.

00:02:22 #25 Sure do appreciate it. We are running kind of late

00:02:25 #26 Okay, but if you're running late you should have started earlier

00:02:29 #27 Anyhow, no tail light have it fixed

00:02:32 #28 Thank you officer. I like there's nothing up that road now look the sign pointed this way

00:05:16 #29 Mike let's go back to the crossroads and ask those kids we saw okay, okay, but I know we can't be wrong

00:05:22 #30 Look, the sign pointed this way.

00:05:24 #31 How many times do we have to chase you, kids?

00:06:21 #32 Oh, gee.

00:06:23 #33 Holy cow, man.

00:06:25 #34 You think we're doing something wrong?

00:06:28 #35 Well, whatever it is you're not doing,

00:06:32 #36 go don't do it somewhere else.

00:06:34 #37 Leave us alone.

00:06:40 #38 Come on now, no wisecracks.

00:06:44 #39 Just go on home.

00:06:46 #40 OK.

00:06:48 #41 Get going.

00:06:49 #42 All right already.

00:07:22 #43 I could have sworn we didn't make a wrong turn.

00:07:24 #44 You must have.

00:07:26 #45 Where did the road go?

00:07:27 #46 No need to get upset. We'll find it.

00:07:30 #47 Where did this place come from?

00:08:07 #48 It wasn't here a few minutes ago.

00:08:09 #49 I don't care. Let's see if we can get some directions.

00:08:12 #50 Look, there's someone at the door.

00:08:14 #51 I'm Torgo.

00:09:27 #52 I take care of the place while the master is away.

00:09:30 #53 But the child, I'm not sure the master would approve.

00:09:39 #54 Or the dog, the master doesn't like children.

00:09:43 #55 We only want to know where Valley Lodge is.

00:09:46 #56 Which way do we go?

00:09:49 #57 There is no place like that around here.

00:09:52 #58 Mike, I'm scared.

00:10:02 #59 It's getting dark.

00:10:04 #60 Well, Togo, which way is out of here?

00:10:07 #61 There is no way out of here. It will be dark soon.

00:10:15 #62 There is no way out of here.

00:10:17 #63 No way out?

00:10:21 #64 Well, you know, we could spend the night here and then tomorrow we could...

00:10:24 #65 Oh, Mike, Mike.

00:10:25 #66 I don't want to spend the night here. I don't like the looks at the place.

00:10:28 #67 Well, it seems we have no alternative. Well, how about it, Togo?

00:10:31 #68 Can we spend the night here?

00:10:32 #69 Well, I don't know what else we can do.

00:10:37 #70 But, Mike, I don't want to stay here.

00:10:40 #71 And the master wouldn't approve.

00:10:43 #72 Don't worry about it. We're here now, and I'm sure the master won't throw us out.

00:10:47 #73 Well, how about it, Torgo?

00:10:50 #74 I don't want to stay. Let's leave.

00:10:53 #75 I don't know about it. I just don't know.

00:10:58 #76 Well, Torgo, in or out.

00:11:37 #77 Patient, dear.

00:11:45 #78 Very well. The master will be very disturbed.

00:11:48 #79 I'll get the luggage.

00:11:57 #80 Tarver, we'll stay tonight and then tomorrow.

00:12:09 #81 You must be... you cannot stay.

00:12:12 #82 The master would not approve.

00:12:56 #83 See, you're feeling better already.

00:12:58 #84 Look at this.

00:13:02 #85 Mike, I'm...

00:13:11 #86 Must be the master himself.

00:13:55 #87 Oh, Mike, I'm scared.

00:14:00 #88 He has the meanest look.

00:14:02 #89 That dog.

00:14:04 #90 I'd hate to run up on him in the dark or even in the light for that matter.

00:14:40 #91 That must be your master. Where did you say he was?

00:14:43 #92 He has left this world. But he is with us always.

00:14:47 #93 No matter where we go, he is with us.

00:14:52 #94 What?

00:14:53 #95 No matter where he goes. What does that mean?

00:14:57 #96 That dog. He's the most ambitious looking animal I've ever seen.

00:15:02 #97 I hope he goes where the master goes.

00:15:04 #98 There is nothing to fear, madam. The master likes you.

00:15:08 #99 Nothing will happen to you. He likes you.

00:15:12 #100 Likes me? I thought you said he was dead.

00:15:18 #101 Dead? No, madam, not dead the way you know it.

00:15:23 #102 He is with us always.

00:15:27 #103 Not dead the way you know it.

00:15:29 #104 He is with us always.

00:15:34 #105 Mike, I don't like this.

00:15:36 #106 Nothing to worry about. It's only your imagination.

00:15:54 #107 I think that it's best that I show you through the bedroom now.

00:15:59 #108 Oh my God.

00:16:08 #109 Mike, what was that?

00:16:10 #110 Probably some animal in the desert.

00:16:12 #111 Nothing to be afraid of.

00:16:13 #112 I'm scared, Mike.

00:16:15 #113 Michael, I don't care what it is.

00:16:22 #114 Chase it away.

00:16:23 #115 Okay, if it'll make you relax, I'll go out and see what it is.

00:16:26 #116 Stay here. Get back into the house.

00:16:51 #117 Dog barking

00:16:57 #118 Get back in the house, damn it.

00:17:21 #119 My God, Mike, what happened?

00:17:23 #120 He's dead. Peppy's been killed.

00:17:25 #121 killed. Back in the house. What kind of place is. I'll take care of everything.

00:17:35 #122 Get back in the house. Mike. Mike what could have done it.

00:18:17 #123 Honey it was probably some animal from the desert. This place must be full of them.

00:18:21 #124 You went away, baby.

00:18:27 #125 Went away while you were asleep.

00:18:29 #126 Mike, I want to leave this place now.

00:18:35 #127 Okay, honey, we'll leave right away.

00:18:37 #128 Where the hell is that caretaker?

00:18:39 #129 Targo! Targo!

00:18:43 #130 Did you want me?

00:18:56 #131 We're leaving. Would you mind putting the luggage back in the car?

00:18:59 #132 As you wish.

00:19:03 #133 Right now.

00:19:05 #134 Fast, damn it, fast!

00:20:00 #135 I'll be glad to leave. I've had all this place I want.

00:20:03 #136 Madam, it will be very dangerous to leave now.

00:20:06 #137 The master wants you.

00:20:08 #138 Wants me? What kind of talk is that?

00:20:12 #139 He wants you for his wife. He loves beautiful women.

00:20:19 #140 The master wants you, but he can't have you. I want you.

00:21:11 #141 Stop that talk, it's the instant you hear.

00:21:14 #142 He wants you, but he can't have you.

00:21:17 #143 Out of here. Let me out of here now.

00:21:59 #144 Forgive me madam. I meant no harm

00:22:12 #145 Give you just wait till I tell my husband. I meant no harm madam. I'll protect you

00:22:27 #146 Very well, I won't tell my husband now. Let me out. Hey Maggie the damn car won't start

00:22:45 #147 Margaret

00:22:49 #148 Damn car won't start. Well that really fixes things. What are we gonna do now?

00:22:54 #149 I don't know and I couldn't find a thing wrong with it either. Hey, Tongo, where's the phone?

00:23:01 #150 Yes, Alexander Graham Bell, you know telephone

00:23:06 #151 There is none sir. The master doesn't approve of such devices

00:23:13 #152 Then where is the nearest phone?

00:23:16 #153 The nearest phone is at the crossroads. That's 10 miles 10 miles

00:23:21 #154 It might as well be 10,000 miles.

00:23:24 #155 Easy, honey. It won't help to get mad.

00:23:27 #156 The master won't mind you staying tonight.

00:23:31 #157 There's no choice. We can't leave.

00:23:33 #158 We can't walk out of here. The damn car won't start.

00:23:36 #159 I'll just bring the bags back to the room.

00:23:39 #160 Sinister?

00:23:50 #161 Sinister isn't descriptive enough.

00:23:52 #162 Honey, we'll leave in the morning and soon this place will be forgotten.

00:23:55 #163 Forgotten? I'll never forget.

00:23:59 #164 Peppy's gone. I just hope Debbie will understand.

00:24:03 #165 She'll understand. She's my baby. She'll understand.

00:24:07 #166 I hope so, darling. I sure hope so.

00:24:09 #167 She's my baby. She'll understand.

00:24:11 #168 Say, where is she?

00:24:17 #169 Oh, my God!

00:24:19 #170 Don't get wrought up. She's probably playing hide-and-seek.

00:24:23 #171 Okay, Debbie, we see you. Come out, come out wherever you are.

00:24:26 #172 Maybe she slipped into one of the rooms.

00:24:28 #173 Debbie?

00:24:32 #174 Torgor, have you seen Debbie?

00:24:39 #175 No. She's gone.

00:24:41 #176 Help us find her.

00:24:42 #177 She couldn't have gone outside.

00:24:46 #178 The door's bolted.

00:24:48 #179 For God's sake, don't panic.

00:24:50 #180 She's got to be in here.

00:24:51 #181 Is there another exit to the outside?

00:24:55 #182 In the kitchen.

00:24:59 #183 That door's bolted, too.

00:25:05 #184 Outside, Mike.

00:25:07 #185 She's got to be outside. All right.

00:25:09 #186 We'll look outside for her.

00:25:11 #187 Debbie?

00:25:16 #188 Mike, I'm scared. The animals and the desert.

00:25:21 #189 Cut it out.

00:25:33 #190 We'll find her. Don't worry.

00:25:44 #191 Debbie?

00:25:48 #192 It's the dog from the portrait.

00:26:12 #193 Stand back, Debbie. Stand back.

00:26:14 #194 I'm back.

00:26:15 #195 Don't go to bed.

00:26:23 #196 Darling, baby, you could have been hurt, but you should never run away from us.

00:26:37 #197 Debbie don't ever run away from us.

00:26:39 #198 I don't want to find my puppy.

00:26:42 #199 Where did you find the new dog, baby?

00:26:44 #200 In a big place.

00:26:47 #201 Where, Debbie?

00:26:48 #202 There was a big, giant place.

00:26:50 #203 It was so dark, but I wasn't afraid of the dark.

00:26:55 #204 They're all kinds of funny people, aren't they?

00:26:58 #205 Where is the place, Debbie?

00:27:00 #206 Over there, Gary.

00:27:02 #207 Horrible. Let's get out of here.

00:27:24 #208 Let's go.

00:27:31 #209 Get in the bedroom and lock yourself in.

00:27:32 #210 I'm gonna find Torgor. He's got some explaining to do.

00:27:35 #211 Harry, please, Harry.

00:27:58 #212 I want her.

00:27:59 #213 She's mine, mine, mine. Do you hear?

00:28:01 #214 I want this.

00:28:02 #215 You have all the wives you need.

00:28:03 #216 She's smart.

00:28:05 #217 Look! Pretty ones.

00:28:22 #218 Let me see how good you are.

00:28:24 #219 I won't need you anymore.

00:28:26 #220 I have my own wife.

00:28:27 #221 I won't have to come in here to dream of having one of you.

00:28:32 #222 You, you are the worst.

00:28:34 #223 You were his first wife.

00:28:36 #224 He doesn't want you anymore.

00:28:37 #225 And now even I don't want you.

00:29:33 #226 I'm through with all of you.

00:29:35 #227 Through!

00:29:36 #228 Are you hear me?

00:29:43 #229 Don't chase that other couple.

00:34:44 #230 What other couple?

00:34:45 #231 Them a while.

00:34:55 #232 We know that this road goes nowhere.

00:34:57 #233 So now get.

00:34:58 #234 No smart stuff.

00:35:00 #235 We ain't trying to jump on you.

00:35:02 #236 Just get primal darkness.

00:36:07 #237 Thou who dwelleth in the depth of the universe in the black chasms of night.

00:36:12 #238 Worth the mother darkness upon thy faithful,

00:36:44 #239 to live eternally in her keeping.

00:36:46 #240 Thou dost make him most blessed forever.

00:36:50 #241 And thou who dost curse with eternal burning light those who transgress against thee.

00:36:56 #242 Holy art thou, holy art thou, holy art thou.

00:37:00 #243 Oh, Manos will be done.

00:37:02 #244 Thy priesthood remains steadfast,

00:37:04 #245 thy priesthood remains constant,

00:37:06 #246 thy priesthood remains righteous.

00:37:10 #247 Thou hast taught us, O Manos, and we have listened.

00:37:13 #248 Give ear to our words, O Manos, and hear us.

00:37:16 #249 Hear us, hear us, for we are faithful

00:37:21 #250 and Thou art our God.

00:37:25 #251 Arise, my wives, give ear to the words of Manos.

00:37:30 #252 Arise, my wives, and hear the will of Manus.

00:37:35 #253 The child will go up to be a woman, and as the old is the wife,

00:37:42 #254 I demand the woman that she is there.

00:37:52 #255 Why has the child been brought here?

00:37:58 #256 Why? And a female child is that.

00:38:02 #257 The child will go up to be a woman, and as the old is the wife,

00:38:05 #258 I demand the woman that she is there.

00:38:07 #259 I demand the woman that she is brought here in a kill.

00:38:10 #260 The child will grow up to be a woman.

00:38:12 #261 And as the oldest of the wives, I...

00:38:14 #262 I have never complained about sacrificing a man.

00:38:19 #263 But a child?

00:38:20 #264 The woman is all we want.

00:38:22 #265 The others must die.

00:38:24 #266 They all must die.

00:38:26 #267 We do not even want the woman.

00:38:28 #268 The child is a female.

00:38:30 #269 She must not be destroyed.

00:38:32 #270 She will grow up to be a woman.

00:38:34 #271 She must be killed.

00:38:36 #272 No!

00:38:37 #273 I am the oldest of the wives, and it is my privilege to say that.

00:38:40 #274 Enough!

00:38:41 #275 Enough of this stupid bickering.

00:38:43 #276 The child must die.

00:38:46 #277 If you persist in this foolishness, your usefulness will have come to an end.

00:38:50 #278 Say what you will. I will have no part of this madness.

00:38:53 #279 She lives.

00:38:55 #280 I say she must die.

00:38:56 #281 I don't know what they're doing here in the first place.

00:38:58 #282 Tawgo should never allow them in, and I won't.

00:39:01 #283 You're caused enough trouble.

00:39:03 #284 I think perhaps your service to us is at its end now.

00:39:06 #285 Silence! Silence!

00:39:11 #286 And now my wife, I shall deal with the one who is responsible for the child being here.

00:39:20 #287 Torgos, he's the one. Get Torgos.

00:39:24 #288 You are responsible for this nonsense. We shall dispose of you later.

00:39:29 #289 It's a terrible mistake. The man, yes, the child, no.

00:39:41 #290 Maybe she's right. Maybe we should spare the child.

00:39:44 #291 It is against our will that we stay here.

00:39:46 #292 Do not make the child die to satisfy him.

00:39:49 #293 He does not need any more wives.

00:39:51 #294 Yes, he has no more time for older wives.

00:39:55 #295 Just the newest.

00:39:57 #296 Jealousy is not part of us.

00:40:01 #297 Why are you so jealous of me?

00:40:04 #298 You are a troublemaker.

00:40:08 #299 You deserve to die.

00:40:10 #300 Die? I may die, but I do not care.

00:40:16 #301 The child must live.

00:40:20 #302 She is right.

00:40:21 #303 We will not kill the child.

00:40:23 #304 But Manos would not approve.

00:40:27 #305 The law of Manos exists for us only.

00:40:31 #306 Manos loves women.

00:40:32 #307 She will grow up to be a woman.

00:40:35 #308 She may.

00:40:46 #309 When the master hears of this, he will be furious.

00:40:49 #310 You are all mad, mad the whole lot of you, the man,

00:40:53 #311 yes, the child, no.

00:43:28 #312 What are you doing here?

00:43:32 #313 You have failed us, Targo.

00:43:35 #314 I know of your visits to the tomb.

00:43:40 #315 My visits?

00:43:42 #316 The women have told me.

00:43:45 #317 They may not be able to say anything or move when you're there.

00:43:49 #318 But they remember everything you say to them

00:43:54 #319 and everything you do to them.

00:44:00 #320 But, Master, you have six wives.

00:44:03 #321 Why can't I have one for myself?

00:44:06 #322 You are not one of us.

00:44:08 #323 Therefore, you cannot have one of them.

00:44:10 #324 Yes, but I have one now.

00:44:13 #325 This one is mine.

00:44:14 #326 You will never get her.

00:44:16 #327 You have failed us, Togo.

00:44:19 #328 For this, you must die.

00:44:22 #329 If you know you have failed yourselves,

00:44:27 #330 you'll never kill them.

00:44:29 #331 I'll help them.

00:44:31 #332 You have failed.

00:44:33 #333 And you must die.

00:45:35 #334 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:45:42 #335 Monos, God of primal darkness, as thou hast decreed, so have I done.

00:45:51 #336 The hands of faith have doomed this man.

00:45:55 #337 Thy will is done.

00:45:59 #338 Here's the one.

00:49:19 #339 She has upset all of our plans.

00:49:20 #340 This foolishness must stop.

00:49:49 #341 Our purpose must be served.

00:49:52 #342 There will be no further insolence.

00:49:57 #343 But the child.

00:49:58 #344 We cannot kill a child.

00:49:59 #345 Yes, we can.

00:50:02 #346 You have caused enough trouble.

00:50:05 #347 As soon as we have disposed of Togo,

00:50:06 #348 we shall take care of you.

00:50:09 #349 Your power fails you.

00:50:11 #350 I have no more fear.

00:50:14 #351 Seize her and prepare her for sacrifice.

00:50:38 #352 Well done, my wives.

00:50:41 #353 The will of Manos shall be served.

00:51:15 #354 It is the will of Manos that he be sacrificed.

00:51:35 #355 Kill, kill.

00:51:38 #356 The man who has decreed it.

00:51:41 #357 Kill! Kill!

00:51:43 #358 Open the door!

00:53:24 #359 Enough.

00:53:25 #360 The ceremony is done.

00:55:11 #361 Your turn will come as soon as we have disposed of the others.

00:55:15 #362 Go find the others!

00:55:16 #363 Hurry before the night slips away!

00:55:18 #364 Ha!

00:55:22 #365 But the window, Mike.

00:55:31 #366 I saw him at that window.

00:55:33 #367 Okay, honey. We'll leave. We'll leave.

00:55:35 #368 We've got to leave now.

00:55:37 #369 I can't stand it any longer. Please, Mike.

00:55:41 #370 We'll hide in the desert. Someone will help.

00:55:45 #371 The gods will destroy you.

00:55:47 #372 Your power fails.

00:55:50 #373 You cannot endure.

00:55:53 #374 Destroy?

00:55:56 #375 The gods destroy me.

00:56:06 #376 Join me. I am permanent.

00:56:09 #377 My nook has made me permanent.

00:56:14 #378 Your power fails you.

00:56:17 #379 You are losing your control.

00:56:20 #380 Even Togo defied you.

00:56:22 #381 And he was destroyed even as you shall be.

00:56:29 #382 Your power does not affect me anymore.

00:56:32 #383 Even your other wives do not trust you.

00:56:36 #384 I do not fear you, even though you beat me. Beat me again. Beat.

00:56:44 #385 I do not fear you, Debbie and Run.

00:57:31 #386 No, darling, we'll make it. Let's go.

00:57:44 #387 Nothing of that way. Let's go this way.

00:57:52 #388 We can't go on this way.

00:58:20 #389 We've got to keep going.

00:58:21 #390 We have to help.

00:58:31 #391 We have to search everywhere.

00:58:36 #392 Find them.

00:58:45 #393 They must not escape.

00:58:47 #394 Find them.

00:58:48 #395 No, leave them alone.

00:58:50 #396 We cannot kill a child.

00:58:52 #397 Enough talk.

00:58:53 #398 Find them.

00:58:54 #399 Manos will be served.

00:58:56 #400 Maggie.

00:58:57 #401 Save baby.

00:59:24 #402 Save Debbie.

00:59:25 #403 No Maggie, we can make it.

00:59:27 #404 We'll rest here for a minute.

00:59:29 #405 We'll go to the hospital.

01:00:15 #406 We'll rest here for a minute. We can make it.

01:00:18 #407 Let's go back. They'll never think of looking for us at the house.

01:00:21 #408 You know you might have a point there.

01:00:23 #409 Please, Mike. Please, I can't go any farther.

01:00:26 #410 Listen, we can lock ourselves in the kitchen. I have my gun.

01:00:28 #411 We'll have to go back.

01:00:42 #412 Okay. It might be the safest place, especially since they're out here looking for us.

01:00:48 #413 Good. Good. Where's my puppy?

01:00:52 #414 Please, Debbie, not now.

01:00:54 #415 That sure sounded like shots. We'd better check.

01:01:22 #416 This hour of the night, there can't be anybody out here.

01:01:25 #417 This is the boondock.

01:01:26 #418 Well, sound does travel a long way at night.

01:01:29 #419 It could be clear over in Mexico, for that matter.

01:01:31 #420 The fishes are fine, but this one should be great.

01:03:25 #421 Yeah, the gang's coming up for the weekend.

01:03:27 #422 What a blast!

01:03:29 #423 Hmm.

01:03:30 #424 I take care of the place while the master is away.
