The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter Page #4

---

You're going to need help.

Professor Thurber's very good and...

Aaagh!

Aaagh!

Professor! Professor Warren.

Professor Warren.

- I'm going doWn there.

- No Way.

Professor Warren is dead and We're next.

- I started this.

- And you Won't finish it Without help.

It's not human, that thing doWn there.

(Unearthly screaming)

Oh, Carter.

I got a real bad feeling about this.

- Carter...

- See? Even she's got the right idea.

(GroWling)

- Carter.

- Let's go.

(GroWling)

(Gunshots)

(Bloodcurdling cry)

(Engline spluttering)

- What's Wrong?

- It must be cold. Give it a feW seconds.

We don't have seconds. Let's run for it.

Aagh!

- (Engine starts)

- I got it. Hold on.

- It just stood up.

- I can't believe you've just let it loose.

We're dead. It's going to hunt us doWn

and tear us apart.

- It Wants Alyda.

- I can pull right over and let her out.

That's not like you, HoWard.

I'm sorry. I've been through hell, Carter.

We'll make it, HoWard.

Just get us back to the university.

In one piece.

You'll be safe.

Do you understand?

Father...

is dead.

Yes, he is.

We'd better hurry.

- What noW? The police, right?

- No. We need proof first.

- No. First We need to get clothes on her.

- Huh? Oh, yes, of course.

No.

No house.

Alyda, don't be afraid.

It'll be all right. Trust me.

(HoWard) Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

Everybody must be asleep.

Hurry.

Carter? Figured it Would be you.

I Was Wondering...

Can it Wait, Barger?

It's 1.30 in the morning.

Come on.

- Carter?

- Just go back to bed.

What in the hell is going on here?

- Nothing. Just go back to bed.

- Nothing. You got to be kidding.

Carter With a naked Woman.

This is monumental.

Barger, just go back to bed.

Don't tell anyone about this.

I'll tell you about it tomorroW.

- HoWard, get her something to Wear.

- Yeah.

- Mary might have something.

- No. Robert, not Mary!

And Jack. Everybody's

gonna knoW about her noW.

We have to move quickly. Here.

Do you understand me?

Carter.

Yes. I'm Randolph Carter

and you're Alyda Winthrop.

Yes. Alyda.

I... I...

I...?

Her father must have talked to her

because inside her memory, there's Words.

Think of it. She lived in the 1 7th century.

She can't tell us about

the Revolutionary War. She Was in an attic.

Think of the biological

and genetic implications.

Let's think about staying alive.

I suspect that the other half is on its Way.

If Professor Warren is right,

it can't survive Without her.

Then We can't let it have her back.

But for hoW long?

Not long enough. It's probably stronger

Without the human half.

- And you and the professor let it loose.

- I'm afraid so.

HoWard.

Carter.

Alyda, I'm going in the other room.

Stay. Stay in here.

No. No.

No, Carter.

Please?

All right, Alyda, but you must stay there.

Stay.

She's really taken a shine to you.

Look, I think We have a Way out of this.

- We have to take Alyda to the clinic.

- To prove she's 300 years old?

Or that she's got

some of the creature left in her.

Then We knoW

What the creature's composed of.

- But is that going to help us?

- Yes.

We also have to recover some of the pages

from the library. These pages may help us.

- What about the police?

- Then We'll bring in the police.

- And they're going to believe us?

- Oh, they'll believe us.

- HoW did We get ourselves into this?

- Curiosity. Does it every time.

Joe?

Wake up.

Joe?

Joe, Where the hell are you?

Joe...

Sh*t!

Debbie?

I tried to stop him.

(Barger) Carter?

(Knocking)

Mary brought up some clothes.

Holy coW.

- Hi there...

- Back off. What have you done to her?

Mary, I don't have time to explain.

You'll have to shoW her hoW to dress.

Mary, Alyda. Alyda, Mary.

(Alyda) Carter? No. Please.

That girl Was born 300 years ago

and I have to get her to the clinic.

I'm not going to hurt you,

but you've got to Wear something.

(Snarling)

Carter! I don't think she likes clothes.

- This is something to do With Joel's death.

- It's going to try and kill her.

I have to see Professors Mendez and...

- Biochemistry. Thurber.

- Right. And tonight.

- It's tWo in the morning.

- This is important.

- (Mary) Carter!

- lncredibly important.

- And could get us killed.

- Count me in.

- (Mary) She doesn't like clothes.

- Get her dressed in anything.

Stand still, Will you?

Carter!

Here's the directory.

Call the professors...noW. Go.

(Faint struggling)

I don't care What you don't like,

you're gonna Wear something.

- 4787.

- 4787.

- He Won't be pleased.

- Hi. I'm sorry, Mrs Mendez.

I have to speak to the professor.

It's an emergency.

She Wouldn't Wear anything practical,

but at least she's decent.

That's rather becoming.

It's becoming later.

He'll meet us at the clinic. Professor

Thurber's ansWering machine Was on,

but We can sWing by there on the Way.

- Right. Jack, you coming?

- Er... Good luck.

- What's going on?

- Nothing.

First floor. Men's apparel.

Protective gear.

Life insurance.

Carter, Where did you find her?

Relax. It's OK. It isn't dangerous. Really.

I'll get Professor Thurber.

You take Alyda to the clinic.

Maybe I should get him.

She Won't be separated from you.

I don't knoW Why she goes for you,

you lucky dog.

Why shouldn't she?

You knoW Where Thurber lives?

- Yeah.

- Meet you at the clinic.

Why are they going to see Professor

Mendez?

Look, Carter thinks that that girl

is 300 years old, OK?

Really?

And Why aren't We going With them?

Because... She had something to do

With Joel Manton's death.

- I just don't Want to get involved in that.

- You're such a Wimp, Jack.

You can chicken out

of an interesting situation, but I'm going.

(LoW groWling)

You're gonna go through your Whole life

never taking a risk

and die Without ever

having had a single adventure.

(LoW groan)

Are you coming?

Help! Somebody help me!

Aagh!

(Squelching)

(Sirens Wailing)

Can somebody tell me Why

there is so much noise?!

It's 2:
30 in the morning!

Carter? Who have you got in there?

He's dead.

- Easy, guy.

- Right.

I...I saW it. It Was horrible.

- It Was horrible.

- Are you all right? Stay right there.

Whatever did this is the same thing that

killed Joe and those kids at the house.

Malcolm!

Debbie, We got a situation here.

Forget the Winthrop house.

Whatever killed Joe is on the campus noW.

We're in... Hold on.

Randolph Carter's room.

(Echoing footsteps)

Halt! Police.

Oh, my God.

(Alarm bells)

Debbie, you get over here pronto...

Of course. The medical building.

That's Where the other guy is. HoWard.

Meet me there. I'll leave Ben here.

Oh, my God.

Oh... Ben.

No.

No.

It's a matter of quantum physics Which,

I suppose, to you Would be magic.

- Magic?

- Mm.

Yes. Magic.

Actually, it's still magic to me.

Carter makes magic?

No.

Where could they be?

Father...

makes magic.

Do you knoW about your father's magic?

We're going to get people

to take care of you. These people Will help.

Hello?

Hello? Professor Mendez?
