The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter Page #5

---

Hello?

Carter, go. Go!

Alyda, What's Wrong?

What is it?

Alyda comes.

Here? NoW?

Carter, please.

I don't see anything.

HoW do you knoW?

I stay...With Carter.

Alyda, you can't stay With me.

You need professionals to care for you

and that thing, I can't stop it.

I stay...With you, Carter.

I...Iove you.

You don't understand.

Alyda, you're very special

and you're very beautiful, but l...

I have to turn you over to people Who can

help you understand What's happened.

Alyda, if this Weren't the Wrong place

and the Wrong time...

- (Snarling)

- What is it?

Carter, Barger? Anyone here?

In here, Professor Mendez!

Don't Worry. It's a friend.

Stay here. It's a friend.

There you are.

I have found something Wonderful. You don't

knoW hoW happy I am to see you...

You came after all. After Alyda, I suppose?

She's not here.

Come on, then.

Run, Alyda, run.

(HoWard) Sorry to Wake you up,

Professor Thurber, but this is important.

Carter found this incredible creature

and I knoW it sounds crazy...

Hey, look out.

Hold it right there.

Carter, Alyda comes.

That's it. There.

No one could have done this.

Ramming something through a person

is possible, but...

but you could never pull it out.

No, no.

This Would take superhuman strength.

- It got out through here. Let's go.

- Nobody's going anywhere yet.

Listen. We all cared about Ben.

We are gonna find this thing.

The internal suction of the body,

plus the adhesive quality of the blood,

is...er...

- Where Would Carter go?

- I don't knoW.

Very feW people understand

that if you knife someone...

it's very difficult to WithdraW that knife.

So to do this,

it Would be almost impossible.

The bastard's getting aWay! Damn it,

I'll kill the goddamn thing myself!

- Not a good idea, Debbie.

- Debbie, Will you settle doWn, please?

All right.

NoW, think!

I don't knoW. We Were gonna come here

and...call you.

- We're Wasting time.

- I'd really like to come With you.

- Professor...

- The library!

There Was a book and some missing

pages. That's Where Carter Would go.

Professor, you stay here. You too, son.

You are coming With me.

- Yes, sir. We'd better hurry.

- Debbie, Wait up!

Could l...? Oh.

Oh, my.

Great.

Hm. It Worked.

(Alyda) Books.

Alyda?

The keys have to be here someWhere.

Alyda, don't move. Just stay here. Don't

move.

Believe me, I Won't leave you.

Yes, Carter.

(Glass breaking)

Hi.

Alyda, What about books?

(Glass smashing)

It comes.

For Alyda.

Perhaps...

Right. It folloWs you by scent.

We can confuse it a bit.

(GroWling)

(Keys jangling)

- (Snarling)

- (GroWling)

(Unearthly screaming)

Sounds like the right place.

Hey!

Randolph Carter! Are you in here?

Alyda, here. Calm doWn.

Easy, easy. It's all right.

That should have throWn her scent off.

I knoW Where We are.

Here.

What's that smell?

(Debbie) Perfume. Yuk!

No choice of mine.

(Snarling)

It's over there.

That's the stacks. People get lost in there

in the daylight.

Right. Spread out. Three roWs parallel.

HoWard, you stay three paces behind me.

Watch the rear.

- Give him a gun.

- No. I'd rather not.

Yeah. I'd rather you not too.

- Carter!

- Sshh!

- HoWard, get out!

- Carter, I brought the police!

Get them out too!

(Distant screeching)

Come. Quickly.

- Carter?

- Go. I'm coming With you. Go.

Seems to open out a bit.

(LoW snarling)

There it is!

I saW it just ahead. Missed the thing.

Damn! It's fast...and it stinks.

Debbie, hold your rank.

There has to be a grille

to the floor above.

- You holding up?

- Holding up.

(Chuckles) We're doing all right.

Rare books are on the next level.

Manuscript pages are there. Wait here.

We have to find the pages from the book.

The book, yes. Father's book.

He didn't knoW it,

but some of the pages Were kept here.

Pages that he must have needed...

Aagh!

Carter? No!

Alyda, no!

No!

No!

(Screaming)

- It's just a up ahead.

- Carter!

- Carter!

- HoWard, get out of here.

- Are you all right?

- We're alive.

Just get out.

Carter, Where are you?

Carter!

Get aWay from there.

- Carter!

- HoWard, get out While you can.

Here, Alyda. We have to get up there.

We found it. It's the rare book room.

Come on, girl. Come on.

Those should hold her out

for a feW minutes.

They keep them out of sight,

even from the initiated.

Alyda, she's not going to get you.

We'll solve the piece of the puzzle

your father couldn't.

Maybe We can kill it. Maybe We can.

- (Banging)

- We don't have much time.

My, my, the professor Was right.

Abdul Alhazred...the Mad Arab.

These must be special if they Were

removed from the Necronomicon.

Look here. This is in Arabic and

the quotation is an even older language.

The illuminations Were never completed.

That's Why there's big margins.

Here.

This has been translated into Greek.

Alyda, your father Was translating

parts of this into English.

Let's see...

"Di'ad akhadis...

"ada odan...

"agos bas dunat aut."

I can hear it.

It's just up ahead to the right.

That smell is something else.

Over here! Somebody help us!

(Gunshots)

Arnie?

My God.

- Aargh!

- No, Wait!

It's OK.

"lgnae ignae y'a fluchro nich ha

"yuog sithoth ebethan hi'yi negurclu la..."

(Continues reading)

"Ayei suroth nagatholo tapei...

"yugoth R'lyeh ai Cthulhu."

Alyda, What is it?

"R'lyeh ai Cthulhu."

"Negathalata bei yugot."

You speak this?

Father teaches Alyda.

You speak the language of Cthulhu?

- C-tu-lu.

- C-tu-lu? Cthulhu!

Alyda, do you knoW What this means?

You understand.

Oh, Alyda, you're so Wonderful.

Can you read this?

Can you read these Words?

No read, Carter.

I speak. Hai ashanta nika?

This is amazing.

This is absolutely amazing.

You have a knoWledge that Was

lost to the World centuries ago.

I Will read and you correct me.

Understand?

I read and you say again.

"Pignuli miguanoth Cthulhu R'lyeh...

"Wanago fa'talan."

"Finignuli miguanoth Cthulhu...

"R'lyeh canago fa'tali."

Damn you!

Oh, great, it's a b*tch.

Aagh!

(Squelching)

(Carter reads)

- Ah!

- Are you all right?

- What the hell Was that?

- Are you OK?

I'm all right. What about the sheriff?

He's dead.

Oh, God. Debbie?

She ran off that Way.

I heard a shot and a fight.

I think Carter Was trying to get

to the rare book room. It's upstairs.

All right. Let's go.

It's this Way.

I Wish I had a tape recorder.

We could Write this doWn

and have it phonetically.

Carter...

- It is coming.

- Right.

We'll have time later.

It's too quiet.

(Banging)

Carter? Open up if you're in there!

- HoWard?

- Who else?

Open up!

- Carter!

- All right, HoWard. Just a moment.

(Carter) We don't have a moment.

Open the door.

- Carter, it is here.

- We're coming, HoWard.

- (Screeching)

- What Was that? Carter!

HoWard, stay out.

(Hisses) Alyda.

You can't have her. It's over.

"Ag thororaeth gebeli'ei yarg sasoth..

"negar nigi'e saron."

(Snarling)

"Di'ar dan agis ar ourdan."

(Hisses) Alyda!

No! Carter is mine.
