Phantasm IV: Oblivion

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY MGM/UA HOME ENTERTAINMENT INC.

Man: WHERE HE CAME FROM, NOBODY KNOWS.

HIS EVIL SPREAD LIKE A PLAGUE,

DESTROYING TOWNS,

MAIMING AND KILLING.

WE CALLED HIM THE TALL MAN.

AT FIRST WE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST AN UNDERTAKER.

HIS HORDES PILLAGED GRAVEYARDS,

ROOTED UP THE BODIES...

AND SPIRITED OFF THE DEAD TO A PLACE WORSE THAN HELL.

WE WERE JUST 3 FRIENDS.

JODY WAS TAKEN FROM US,

TURNED BY THE TALL MAN INTO AN ALIEN FORM.

HIS YOUNGER BROTHER MIKE

I'VE TRIED TO PROTECT AS HE'S GROWN.

THE TALL MAN WANTS TO TRANSFORM HIM

INTO ONE OF HIS KIND.

MY NAME IS REGGIE.

I WAS AN ICE CREAM VENDOR BY TRADE.

NOW I'M A SOLDIER,

A SOLDIER IN A WAR

AGAINST HIS ARMY OF THE LIVING DEAD.

ON HIS OWN, MIKE FLED INTO THE WASTELANDS,

TRYING TO ESCAPE THE TRANSFORMATION

THAT WAS TAKING PLACE INSIDE HIM.

HIS ONLY HOPE--

TO SOMEHOW UNCOVER THE MYSTERIES OF THE TALL MAN.

AS FOR ME,

I WAS LEFT DEEP IN THE CATACOMBS

OF THE TALL MAN'S LAIR.

MIKE LEFT ME...HANGING.

AAH! OHH!

SMALL MAN,

YOUR END APPROACHES, BUT IT IS NOT YET.

TAKE GREAT CARE HOW YOU PLAY.

THE FINAL GAME NOW BEGINS.

REGGIE,

I'VE BEEN MOVING SOUTHEAST FOR 3 DAYS NOW.

I KNOW HE'S BEHIND ME SOMEWHERE.

DON'T TRY TO COME AFTER ME.

THERE'S VERY LITTLE LEFT ALIVE OUT HERE ANYMORE.

THE TOWNS HAVE ALL BEEN ABANDONED.

DO YOU REMEMBER OUR OLD TOWN?

THAT LAST PERFECT DAY BEFORE HE CAME?

IT WAS THE VERY NEXT DAY THAT HE ARRIVED.

I REMEMBER, REGGIE.

I WAS WITH MY BROTHER.

WHERE ARE YOU, BROTHER?

WHAT'S BECOME OF YOU?

JODY DIED IN A CAR WRECK.

HA HA HA!

HEY, REG.

DAMN IT.

NOT YOU AGAIN.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, MAN?

I'M DONE WITH YOU.

THAT'S A FINE "HOW YOU BEEN," REG.

IF YOU THINK I'M GONNA HELP YOU FIND YOUR BROTHER MIKE,

YOU'RE WRONG. DEAD WRONG.

YOU'RE HIS ONLY FRIEND.

HE CAN'T MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU.

I WISH THINGS HAD BEEN DIFFERENT...

BUT THEY'RE NOT.

NAH. FORGET IT.

I'M DONE WITH THAT.

BESIDES, I THOUGHT YOU SAID

YOU WERE GONNA STAY IN TOUCH LATER,

LIKE, "LATER" BEING THE OPERATIVE WORD HERE.

WELL, AS IT TURNS OUT, WE NEED YOU SOONER.

I'M GOING AFTER MIKE NOW.

AND I KNOW FOR SURE WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME BACKUP...

FROM SOMEBODY HE TRUSTS.

NOT ME.

BESIDES, I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.

JUST KEEP DRIVING SOUTHWEST A FEW HUNDRED MILES.

IT'LL BECOME PRETTY OBVIOUS.

NO, THANKS...

JODY.

NOT TO MENTION...

THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR. I MEAN...

IT'S...IT'S A CONVERTIBLE ROOF.

THE...THE TIRES ALL MESSED UP.

AND LOOK AT THE DINGS

THAT ZOMBIE PUT IN MY LACQUER PAINT JOB.

DAMN IT.

WELL...

GUESS I KNOW WHERE I'M GOIN', HUH?

UHH!

NO.

YES, BOY.

OOH! UHH!

UHH! UHH! UHH!

OOMP! UHH!

THE COACH WILL DRIVE ITSELF.

OH, DAMN YOU TO HELL.

NOT POSSIBLE.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

WHERE YOU BELONG.

THIS EXPERIENCE MAY SEEM STRANGE TO YOU,

THIS EVOLUTION, AS YOU PREPARE FOR PASSAGE.

I STILL HAVE A FRIEND. HE'LL FOLLOW AND FIND ME.

YOU HAVE NO ONE...

BUT ME.

SON OF A BITCH.

JUST WHAT I NEED.

NOW I GOT TO DEAL WITH AN OVER-AMPED COP.

LICENSE AND REGISTRATION.

WHAT THE HELL?

DON'T...KILL ME.

DON'T KILL ME.

AAHHH!

AAAH!!!

COME ON!

AAH!

OUAHH! AAH!

HUHHH...

AUGGHH!

OH, NO.

COME ON.

REGGIE...

I DON'T YET KNOW WHY HE'S BROUGHT ME HERE.

IT FEELS LIKE I'M AT GROUND ZERO

OF HIS...EXPERIMENT.

THERE IS ONE ESCAPE FROM HIM, THOUGH...

AND I'VE GOT A PLAN.

WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, I'M GONNA FORCE HIM OUT...

SEE IF I CAN'T TAKE HIM DOWN WITH ME.

LET ME RELEASE YOU FROM THIS IMPERFECT FLESH

THAT TIES YOU TO TIME AND SPACE.

ALL THAT IS UNKNOWN WILL BE KNOWN TO YOU ONCE MORE.

The tall man: WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING, BOY?

DEATH IS NO ESCAPE FROM ME.

Boy...

Boy...cut me down....

Boy, cut me down....

CUT ME DOWN, BOY!

NO!

CUT ME DOWN!

NO!

I WON'T HURT YOU.

YOU'RE KILLING THE WORLD!

I'LL GO AWAY...

AND I WON'T EVER COME BACK.

YOU WILL?

YES.

BOY!

UHHH...

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU...

FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

AND, NO,

YOU MAY NOT TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE.

THAT IS MY DOMAIN, EXCLUSIVELY.

COME, BOY.

WE HAVE THINGS TO DO.

CAREFUL WHAT YOU LOOK FOR.

YOU JUST MIGHT FIND IT.

CAN I ASSIST YOU?

HAVE WE MET?

I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

HAVE YOU TRAVELED FAR?

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO SIT DOWN?

LET ME OFFER YOU SOME LEMONADE.

WE DON'T RECEIVE MANY VISITORS,

AND YOUR CLOTHES ARE DIFFERENT.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE FROM AROUND HERE.

DID YOU MAKE PASSAGE THROUGH THE DIMENSIONAL FORK?

YOU'RE HIM, RIGHT?

JEBEDIAH-- JEBEDIAH MORNINGSIDE.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU FOR--

JEBEDIAH!

OH...

OH, PLEASE...

DON'T LEAVE.

THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN TELL US.

THINGS WE NEED DESPERATELY TO KNOW.
