[Montage of the origins of the Book of the Dead]
Prof: (Voice Over) Legend has it that it was written by the Dark Ones.
Necronomicon ex Mortis, roughly translated, "Book of the Dead".
The book served as a passageway to the evil worlds beyond. It was
written long ago. When the seas ran red with blood. It was this
blood that was used to ink the book. In the year 1300 AD, the book
disappeared.
RENAISSANCE PICTURES Presents
EVIL DEAD II
[Daytime - In a car while driving on a remote highway]
Linda: So what's this place like?
Ash: Well it's a little run-down... but, uh, it's right up in the
mountains.
Linda: Are you sure it's deserted?
Ash: Oh yeah... I think so.
Linda: (giggle)
[Nighttime - In the cabin]
Ash: Whoa.
Linda: (giggle) Ow.
Ash: So what do you think kid?
Linda: I love it Ash.
Linda: I feel funny about being here. What if the people who own the place
come home?
Ash: They're not gonna come back. Even if they do we'll tell them the car
broke down or something like that.
Linda: With your car, they'd believe it.
Ash: Hey, what do you say we have some champagne hey baby?
Linda: Sure.
Ash: After all, I'm a man and you're a woman, at least last time I checked.
Linda: OK.
Ash: Hey! There's a... There's a tape recorder here.
Linda: See what's on it.
Prof: (On tape) This is Professor Raymond Knowby, Department of Ancient
History, log entry number two. I believe I have made a significant
find in the Castle of Candar. Having journeyed there with my wife
Henrietta, my daughter Annie and Associate Professor Ed Getly.
It was in the rear chamber of the castle that we stumbled upon
something remarkable. Morturom Demonto, the "Book of the Dead". My
wife and I brought the book to this cabin where I could study it
undisturbed. It was here that I began the translations. The book
speaks of a spiritual presence. A thing of evil that roams the
forests and the dark bowers of man's domain. It is through the
recitation of the book's passages that this dark spirit is given
license to possess the living. Included here are the phonetic
pronunciations of those passages. "Cunda astratta montose eargrets
gutt nos veratoos canda amantos canda".
Ash: Linda? Hey Lind-
[Outside the cabin]
Ash: Linda!?!
Linda...
[Daytime - At the cabin]
Ash: It's gone. The sun's driven it away. Yeah. For now. Gotta...
Gotta blow out of here for now...
EvlFrc: Join us.
Ash: Ah. Oh. Oh God. No. Oh no. No... no... No!!!! Gotta, I gotta
get a grip on myself here.
[Nighttime - At a small airport]
Annie: (to crewer) Thank you.
Ed: Annie!
Annie: Hi!
Ed: How'd the expedition go?
Annie: Great. I found the pages of the Book of the Dead.
Ed: Yeah, I got your telegram. Thanks. So what condition are they in?
Annie: Take a look.
Ed: They haven't aged a day in 3000 years.
Annie: Maybe longer.
Ed: When do we begin the translations?
Annie: Tonight. Is everything all set with my father?
Ed: Well, it should be but I haven't spoken with him in a week. There's
no phone in the cabin. We'll take my car, it'll take us about an
hour to get there. Annie you hinted in your telegram that your
father was onto something in the first part of his translations.
What has he found in the Book of the Dead?
Annie: Probably nothing. But just possibly, a doorway to another world?
[Nighttime - In the cabin]
PosLin: Dance with me. (cackling)
Ash: Ahhhhhh
Ehhh... yeah, just a-
PosLin: Hello lover.
Ash: Workshed.
[In the workshed]
PosLin: Even now we have your darling Linda's soul. She suffers in torment.
Ash: You're going down. Chainsaw.
Linda: Please
Ash... please don't hurt me. You swore- you swore that we'd always
be together. I love you.
Ash: Nooo!
PosLin: Yah! Your lover is mine and now she burns in Hell.
Ash: Oh yeah, alright... OK.
[In the cabin]
Ash: I'm fine... I'm fine.
MirAsh: I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw.
Does that sound fine? (chuckle)
Ash: You bastards! You dirty bastards! Give me back my hand!
Give me back my haaaaand!!
[On a country road at the wrecked bridge]
Annie: Excuse me. Excuse me. Is this the road to the Knowby cabin?
Jake: That's right. And you ain't going there.
Annie: And why not?
Annie: There must be another way in. There's gotta be another road or
something.
BobJoe: Sure ain't no road. Why the hell do you want to go up there
for anyway? Huh?
Annie: None of your business.
Jake: (clap) Hey! I just remembered. Why, yeah... that's right. There
is a trail. You could uh, follow Bobby Joe and me.
Ed: Sounds alright to me.
Jake: But it'll cost ya.
Annie: How much?
Jake: Forty fi- (nudge from Bobby Joe) Hundred buck.
Annie: Tell ya what, you take my bags and you got a deal.
Jake: Sure. (dorky laugh)
Annie: (with an evil grin) Heh heh.
[In the cabin]
Ash: Ah. Ah. That's right. Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now?
Yahhhh! Ahhhh!
[On the trail to the cabin]
Jake: Jesus H. Christ... thought all she was talking about were those two
Goddamn little bags.
[In the cabin]
Ash: Here's your new home.
(BOOM)
Aha!! Son of a- Arrgh! (BOOM) (BOOM)
Gotcha didn't I you little sucker?!
Old double barrel here... blow your butts to kingdom come. See if
we don't...
Jake: You little bastard! You gonna be alright honey?
BobJoe: I-I don't know. I-I think so.
Jake: You just sit still for a minute. You know this son of a bitch?
Ed: No we thought her father was going to be here. That's why we
decided-
Annie: Oh my God! Where are my parents?
What the hell did you do to them? What the hell did you
do to them?
Ed: Annie, come here. Annie, come here... come here.
Jake: We'll throw him in there. Crazy buck's gone
blood seeking.
Ash: Wait. I made a mistake. Wait. Wait. Wait. I made a mistake.
Jake: Damn right. Blackmail son of a bitch.
BobJoe: I hope you rot down there.
[In the cabin]
BobJoe: Oh shit!
Jake: I know it hurts baby, but everything's gonna be fine. Now in about
five minutes I'm gonna go fetch the sheriff and bring him-
Ed: Checked all the other rooms. Folks aren't here. Maybe they
never came.
Annie: But these are my father's things.
Prof: (On tape) It's only been a few hours since I've translated and
spoken aloud the first of the demon resurrection passages from the
Book of the Dead.
Annie: Shhh... Listen up. This is my father's voice.
Prof: (On tape) And now I fear that my wife has become host to a Candarian
Demon. May God forgive me for what I have unleashed unto this earth.
Last night Henrietta tried to... kill me.
Annie: No!
Prof: (On tape) It's now October 1st, 4:33 PM. Henrietta is dead. I could
not bring myself to dismember her corpse. But I dragged her down
the steps... and I buried her. I buried her in the cellar.
God help me, I buried her in the earthen floor of the fruit cellar.
Ash: Wahhhhhhhhhh!
Jake: What the hell was that?
Ed: Somebody's down there with him.
Annie: No, can't be.
BobJoe: Let's get the fuck out of here.
PosHen: Someone's in my fruit cellar. Someone with a fresh soul!
Ash: Ah! Ah! Let me out! There's something down here! Ah!
Annie: Let him out!
Jake: It's a trick, I know it!
Annie: Let him out!!
Ash: Move it! Open those chains up!
PosHen: Come to me.
Ash: Ah! Help! Help! Help me!
PosHen: Come to sweet Henrietta. Hahaha.
Annie: Hurry!
Ash: Help! Help me please!
PosHen: I'll swallow your soul.
BobJoe: Do something!
[In the cabin]
Ash: There's something out there. That... that witch in the cellar is
only part of it. It lives... out in those woods, in the dark...
something... something that's come back from the dead.
BobJoe: Plee! Please let's just get the hell out of here!
Jake: We're going baby. We're going to get on that trail-
Ash: Nobody's going out that door, not till daylight.
Jake: Now you listen to me-
Hnryta: (singing) Hush little baby don't say a word, Mama's going to by you
a mocking bird. If that mocking bird don't sing, Mama's going to
buy you a diamond ring. If that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's
going to buy you a looking glass.
Hnryta: Remember that song Annie? I used to sing it to you when you were a
baby.
Annie: Mother?
Hnryta: Unlock these chains. Quickly!
Annie: No.
Hnryta: You were born September 2nd, 1962. I remember it well because it was
snowing. So strange it would be snowing in September.
Annie: That thing in the cellar is not my mother.
PosEd: We are the things that were and shall be again. Hahahahha.
?Steps? of the Book. We want what is yours. Life! Ha ha ha ha!
Dead by dawn. Dead by dawn.
PosHen: Dead by dawn. Dead by dawn.
PosEd: Dead by dawn. Dead by dawn.
PosHen: Dead by dawn.
PosEd: Dead by dawn.
PosHen: Let me out.
Jake: Thirsty son of a bitch.
Annie: Where you going? Help us you filthy coward!
PosHen: Quickly. Set me free.
PosHen: We live! We live still!
[Still Nighttime - Still in the cabin]
Jake: That's funny.
BobJoe: What.
Jake: That trail we came in here on? It just ain't there no more. Like,
like the woods just swallowed her up.
Annie: It's so quiet.
Jake: What the hell was that?
Ash: Maybe something trying to force its way into our world.
BobJoe: It's in there.
Ash: We'll all go in together.
Jake: Hell no. You're the curious one.
Annie: Hey. I'll go with you.
[In the other room]
Jake: Shit. I told you there weren't nothing in here no how.
Jake: Holy Mother o' Mercy.
Annie: Father?
Spirit: Annie. There is a dark spirit here that wants to destroy you. Your
salvation lies there. In the pages of the book. Recite the passages.
Dispel the evil. Save my soul. And your own lives!
BobJoe: Jake. You're holding my hand too tight.
Jake: Baby, I ain't holding your hand.
Jake: Hey? Where's Bobby Joe?
[In the cabin]
Jake: Hey? Where the hell is she? We gotta go out there and find her.
Ash: If she went out in those woods, you can forget about her.
Annie: What's wrong?
Ash: Felt like someone just walked over my grave.
What's that picture? What is that?
Annie: In 1300 AD they called this man the, ah, hero from the sky. He
was prophesied to have destroyed the Evil.
Ash: Didn't do a very good job... Can you find it?
Annie: Here it is, two passages. Recitation of this first passage will
make this dark spirit manifest itself in the flesh.
Ash: Why the hell would we want to do that?
Annie: Recitation of this second passage creates a kind of rift in time and
space. And the physical manifestation of this dark spirit can be
forced back into the rift. At least that's the best translation that
I can-
(shotgun reloading)
Jake: Uh-huh. That's right. I'm running the show now. We're going to go
out there in them woods and look for Bobby Joe. Once we find her
we're getting the hell out of here.
Ash: No you idiot! You'll kill us all. She's dead by now. Don't you
understand? With these pages, at least we have a chance.
Jake: Bunch of mumbo jumbo bullshit. These pages don't mean squat.
Besides, now you ain't got no
choice. Now move!
[Outside the cabin]
Jake: Move.
Ash: Look. You're nuts.
Jake: I said move!
Annie: No! You stupid fool!
Jake: I'll blow your fucken head off.
Ash: Hey. No trail. Where to now?
Jake: Bobby Joe! Bobby Joe!! Bobby Joe!!!
Ash: You'll get us all killed!
Jake: Shut up!
Annie: Leave him alone!
Jake: Get outta here- Bobby Joe!!!! Bobby - Joe!!!!! Bobby Joe... Where
are you, girl?
PosAsh: You're next. Annie!
[Inside the cabin]
Annie: No... no...
Jake: Ahhhh!
Annie: I'm sorry!
Jake: Get me another room. Get the axe. We'll kill it when it
comes back. But first, pull this damn thing out of me!
Jake: Ahhh! I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Hurry!
Annie: I'm trying! I'm trying!
Jake: Ahhhh!
Annie: Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Jake: Check outside the windows. Check the windows, he's probably right
out- Ahhh! Help me!
Annie: Oh God! Ahhhhh!
PosAsh: Ahhhhh!! Waahahaha!
Ash: No! No wait! Listen to me! I'm alright now. That thing is gone!
Damn it! I said I was alright! Are you listening to me? You hear
what I'm saying? I'm alright! I'm alright.
Annie: OK, maybe you are. But for how long? If we're going to beat this
thing, we need those pages.
Ash: Then let's head down into that cellar and carve ourselves a witch.
PosHen: (cackling) Hahahaha.
[In the workshed]
Ash: Groovy.
[In the cabin]
Ash: Those pages are down there somewhere.
Annie: "Nos veratos alamemnon conda."
Ash: (whistles) Let's go.
PosHen: I'll swallow your soul. I'll swallow your soul.
Annie: (singing) Hush little baby don't say a word, Mama's going to buy
you a mock- mocking bird.
PosHen: Hey! I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow
your soul!
Ash: Swallow this. (BOOM)
Ash: G-
Annie: I only completed the first of the passages and that was to make the
Evil a thing of the flesh!
Ash: Finish it!
Annie: There's still the second passage. The one- the one to open the rift
and send the Evil back!
Ash: Well start reciting it! Now!
Ash: Don't look Annie! Finish the passages! Get rid of it!
Ash: No!!!
EvlTre: We've won. We've won. Victory is ours.
Ash: You did it kid. By God-
No!!!! Ahhhhh!! For God's sake! How do you stop it?
[Late Medieval England]
Man: Slay the beast. It is a deadite!
Man: Run! Back to the castle!
(BOOM)
Knight: Hail he who has come from the skies to deliver us from the
terrors of the deadites!
Crowd: Hail! Hail! Hail!
Ash: No! No! No!! No!!! No!!!! No!!!! No!!!
