Candyman 2 : Farewell To The Flesh Page #4

---

All slave births were registered here.

Daniel Robitaille.

He was born at the Esplanade Plantation.

That's my family's house.

That's where l was born.

There's more.

lf what Matthew believes is true,

l hope you can stop it.

God bless you.

They had a daughter.

Officer, they told me to make a report.

Sit down over here.

Take a look. Take a good look.

- l can't keep doing this.

- Look! More of your sister's handiwork.

- No! Annie didn't do that.

- Come on, cut the bullshit!

l'm on to your sick games!

- Why do you keep sayin' this?

- You've been coverin' for her all along.

You don't know what

you're talkin' about! lt's him!

Who? Your friend the Candyman?

- You afraid, Tarrant?

- Let me go.

Should we call him?

- You're crazy.

- Candyman.

- Candyman.

- No, don't.

Candyman. Candyman.

- Don't.

- Candyman.

No!

No!

No!

Stop!

l said, stop!

We were just wondering if you'd seen

Mrs Tarrant's daughter, Annie.

No, there's been no activity at all.

No!

No!

No! God, no!

- Good evening, ma'am.

- Has there been any sign of her?

No, ma'am.

Oh, Annie.

You lied to us from the beginning.

l've seen the birth certificate.

l've been to the cemetery.

No, it's not true.

lt's true. Caroline bought the house

because that's where he was born.

And she raised their daughter

in that house. Your grandmother.

She was raised a white girl, and no one

suspected the truth. But Daddy did.

So Daddy started digging.

My father was trying to stop him.

- But you just kept on lying.

- l did it to protect you.

Oh, Annie, you just wait until you have

children of your own. You'll understand.

l'll never lie to my child.

Your father was tryin' to

destroy everything we had

- by linkin' our name with that monster.

- So you destroyed it instead,

- by denying the truth.

- l am not a part of him!

- We're his family!

- No!

- We're his blood!

- l will not have you talk like that.

You can't wash him away with a bottle!

There is no Candyman.

He does not exist.

My child.

You doubted me -

your own flesh and blood.

Death is a return, you know.

Annie...

Annie, it's almost time.

Time for our journey.

Soon we'll be together,

just the way l planned.

You cannot resist what is in your blood.

Our blood.

Your baby's blood.

You can't fight what is meant to be.

The choice will be yours, Annie.

l'm so sorry.

No!

Miss Tarrant!

Go on! Quick! Go around the back there.

Annie, l'm not gonna hurt you.

Ethan's dead.

l'm sorry. He was shot trying to escape.

Detective Levesque's body

was found... mutilated.

The guards assumed...

l watched the video tape

of what happened in that room.

Ray's body was torn apart

by somethin' powerful,

and it wasn't your brother.

You better hurry before they get here.

So get drunk, get fatter, and get f***ed.

Yeah, you're right. l said it.

Y'all can trust the Kingfish.

The heavens have just opened up on us

and the banks of the Mississippi

are about to burst.

l don't think they're gonna

hold it back any more.

They're as full as the Kingfish's belly.

Yeah, Mardi Gras.

Where is it?

Where is it?

God damn you!

The slave quarters.

Matthew! Oh, my God!

Are you all right?

l was so worried about you.

You should go home.

l knew when you called him, he'd come.

Like before.

You were hiding here.

He's in my dreams, Annie.

- l know.

- l had to see...

l wanted to see him for real.

Matthew, l need to find the mirror.

lt must be down there. Be careful.

Annie!

Go back! Get some help, Matthew!

Annie, don't.

The mirror is the secret of my strength.

The keeper of my soul.

The destiny of our family.

Annie, our journey begins.

This is why l brought you here.

l was not always this way.

This is who l've become.

You must see what they did.

My only sin was to love Caroline,

and to give her a daughter.

They took everything from me, Annie.

Let me go.

My family.

Did you think

you could get away from us?

My child. My life.

No!

Be my witness.

See how l became

the reflection of their hatred.

Their evil.

Kill him!

See what it means

to call me by that name.

Candyman.

- Candyman.

- Candyman, Candyman.

- Candyman.

- Sweets to the sweet!

My pain was unbearable.

But Caroline's was even greater.

Let him go!

Stop her!

No!

- Father!

- Caroline.

You will all be damned.

You defiled my daughter.

- Father.

- Could she even look at you now?

Candyman...

Now, do you see

what was taken from me?

Yes.

No! No!

They killed me, Annie.

But they could not destroy my soul.

Join me, Annie. We will go together

to a world without pain.

No more pain.

Death is only the beginning.

Your cradle will be your grave.

- Annie.

- Annie.

- Annie.

- Annie.

- Annie.

- Annie.

- Annie.

- Annie.

Annie.

- Annie!

- Annie! Annie!

Annie!

Grab my arm, Annie!

- Annie!

- Grab my hand!

Grab my hand!

Come here! Grab my hand!

Go! Go!

Go!

Go!

Annie,

the choice is no longer yours.

You are mine.

The cradle is your grave, not mine.

No.

Go! Let's get out of here. Go!

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Yeah, it's Lent.

So y'all take it easy.

We made it through another one,

New Orleans.

And the Kingfish hope

you got plenty to atone for.

Hope you all said

a fond farewell to the flesh.

Hey, it's the cycle, Crescent City.

And we are startin' it again.

- Mommy, let's look at some more.

- Just a few more pages.

That's your mommy. She's pretty.

That's right.

And who's that?

That little girl is

your great-grandma, lsabel.

And that's her mommy, Caroline.

That's my name, too.

- Who's that?

- That's lsabel's daddy.

And when you get a little older,

l will tell you a story about him.

- Tell me now.

- Uh-uh. Right now, it's time for your nap.

Candyman, Candyman,

Candyman, Candyman,

- Cand...

- Caroline!

Go to sleep.
