Hellbound: Hellraiser II Page #20

JULIA:

Nothing personal, babe.

Without ceremony, she bursts the heart with one quick squeeze.

100 INT THE CENTRE OF HELL

LARRY, KIRSTY and TIFFANY come running toward the camera.

Initially oblivious to the fact that the corridor they were

running along has widened and the walls retreated. Suddenly,

they come to a stunned halt together, staring ahead of them with

awestruck faces.

KIRSTY:

Oh. My. God.

The camera moves around them to take in what they see. They are

of course in the central chamber of LEVIATHAN.

LEVIATHAN is spinning again, the black beams flying around the

chamber.

TIFFANY screams. KIRSTY grabs her.

KIRSTY:

Tiffany, listen. You've solved

it. But we've got to solve it

the OTHER way. See? See?

We've got to get out.

TIFFANY is frozen.

LARRY:

Come on!

LEVIATHAN spins, the beams fly.

KIRSTY:

Please! Tiffany, Please!

Get us out! Take us home,

please!

TIFFANY nods. They are just about to leave when LEVIATHAN stops

spinning.

A large beam flies down , carrying an object which lands on the

catwalk before the HUMANS, who all take a step or two backwards.

The beam withdraws.

The object at first resembles a large and bloody plastic bag, but

then internal movement begins to rip at this covering. Hands

appear out of the rips and complete the removal. We realise that

the bag-like thing was a kind of caul, a membranous after-birth

that some creatures produce their young in.

The thing inside completes its escape and stands clear of the

shredded caul. Like a new-born child, it is stained and soiled

with amiotic fluids and blood. But it is not a new born child.

It is a NEW CENOBITE. And it used to be MALAHIDE. The

transformation we caught glimpses of is now complete. Its skin

is entirely blue, its head entirely bald. The decorative wounds

and tortures we saw being applied are all present; its flesh is

peeled back in various places, its features are threaded and

distorted by, wire, its eyelids are stapled open.

For a second it stands and regards the HUMANS before it.

TIFFANY gasps in recognition.

KIRSTY too knows what it was.

KIRSTY:

Malahide ...

For some reason, KIRSTY draws from her pocket the photo she took

from the OBSESSION ROOM. She stares at it.

KIRSTY:

Jesus Christ! Of course ...

The MALAHIDE CENOBITE stretches its arms and flexes its fingers.

MALAHIDE:

And to think I hesitated ...

It looks at the HUMANS again, its gaze finally settling on the

still shocked TIFFANY.

MALAHIDE:

Tiffany. Come. I have a whole new

world of puzzles for you to enjoy ...

It reaches out its hand to her.

MALAHIDE:

A whole new world of pleasures

for you to endure.

TIFFANY, confused and used to obeying her doctor's voice,

tentatively stretches out her arm to meet the MALAHIDE

CENOBITE's.

LARRY suddenly walks between TIFFANY and MALAHIDE. The

expression on his face is strange; it is not fear, nor defiance.

It is simpler than that. He is really, really pissed off.

LARRY:

No. I've had enough of this sh*t.

Who the hell are you?

KIRSTY:

It's ...

LARRY waves a hand at her, but keeps his eyes on

MALAHIDE.

LARRY:

Never mind. Never mind.

He points a finger at MALAHIDE's face, which is attempting a

version of PINHEAD's imposing glacial stars, but frankly, isn't

quite making it.

LARRY:

F*** you and the horse you rode in on.

Suddenly, he forms a fist with his unwounded arm and smashes it

straight into MALAHIDE's face. MALAHIDE is completely decked.

LARRY grabs TIFFANY by the shoulders and speaks

urgently to her.

LARRY:

O.K. You've done it before. You

can do it again. GET US OUT OF

HERE!

The three of them run back up the catwalk.

LEVIATHAN spins wildly and a myriad of black beams flow from it.

As they shine into the catwalk they become limbs like those that

captured MALAHIDE, but all with different tips; some are organic,

vicious mouths, some are hooks or blades, some are faces, some

are (as if LEVIATHAN Is too angry to be thinking straight)

beautiful flowers.

The limbs fly up the catwalk, but the HUMANS have gained too

great a start. The limbs retract rapidly into the black lights.

MALAHIDE staggers to his feet, just as LEVIATHAN re-directs its

energy into forming and projecting one much fatter limb. It is

dirty pink and segmented, like a vast earthworm. The end peels

back as it flies toward MALAHIDE, revealing a cruel, metallic,

and rapidly-spinning surgical saw.

Just as MALAHIDE stands up straight, the limb smashes into the

back of his skull. There is a distressing WHIRRING noise as

the limb seals itself fleshily to MALAHIDE's skull and the former

surgeon twitches and dances in horrible involuntary movements as

LEVIATHAN takes over what little mind remains.

101 INT CORRIDORS/LABYRINTH

KIRSTY, TIFFANY and LARRY are running, TIFFANY making the

decisions as to direction.

Down one corridor, blades and knives jut out from the opposite

walls at random intervals and they have to weave at high speed

between them. They negotiate the corridor successfully but, just

as KIRSTY, bringing up the rear, emerges from it, she stumbles

and half-falls. The re-structured BOX falls from her pocket and

rolls back a few feet up the corridor.

TIFFANY, who is nearest to her, helps her to her feet and, as she

does so, catches sight of the BOX (or white diamond, as it is

now). She makes as it to go and get it. KIRSTY holds her arm.

KIRSTY:

No. Come on. We have to get

out of here.

TIFFANY moves away with KIRSTY, but not without a backward glance

and a puzzled expression.

They all make another turning. Suddenly, when they are about

halfway down this next corridor, a new gap opens up behind them

in the wall and a terrible sucking noise is heard. Corridor

debris disappears into the vacuum.

Luckily, LARRY has reached the end of the corridor and grasps the

corner with one hand, seizing KIRSTY's hand with the other.

KIRSTY grabs TIFFANY and the three of them flatten themselves

against the wall, fighting against the suction. The force is

tremendous and LARRY's finger are slowly losing hold.
