Hellbound: Hellraiser II Page #2

The OFFICER screams and the screen begins to take on a red tint

so that, just as the thing is about to fill the screen

with its hungry mouth, the entire screen turns red.

The red screen is held for a second and then suddenly becomes

complete blackness.

6 INT BLACK SPACE

The black screen continues and, rising slowly from it and falling

back slowly into it, in a dream-like, surrealistic manner, come

various images of the OFFICER'S torment/pleasure in Hell.

By various camera tricks, such as step-printing or optical

blurring, his face is still not clearly seen, but is seen enough

for us to see his sensual, almost orgasmic responses to what is

being done to him.

Cuts appear spontaneously across his face, leaving a grid like

crisscross pattern of wounds.

Finally, a disembodied hand gripping a hammer drives nails into

each corner formed by these wounds and, as the face comes into

full view for the first time, we realize who this is. It is

PINHEAD from HELLRAISER.

PINHEAD'S completed face floats on the blackness and stares out

at us.

PINHEAD:

(echoed & slow)

Kirsty, come to daddy

The tiny silence following PINHEAD's words is shattered by a

piercing and terrified scream.

7 INT HOSPITAL ROOM NIGHT

The scream continues, but the blackness is replaced by KIRSTY's

anguished face; it is she who is screaming. The scream subsides,

replaced by breathless panting accompanied by rapid eye movement.

RONSON:

(off camera)

Ah, you're awake. Good.

We pull out to see that KIRSTY is sitting up, fully dressed, on a

hospital bed. RONSON, a police detective, sits on a plain wooden

chair, which is the only other piece of furniture in the room.

The walls are bare save for a piece of primitive art on one wall,

and, on another, a circular barred window looking out.

RONSON stands up and walks to the foot of the bed. He rests his

hand on the bed's metal frame and smiles a perfunctory smile.

RONSON:

Tell you what - we'll make a

deal. I'll tell you what I

know, then you tell me what

you know. O.K.?

KIRSTY is still re-orienting herself. She blinks a few times

and then focuses on RONSON's hands gripping the bed.

RONSON:

O.K.?

KIRSTY looks up at RONSON's face and then around at the room.

KIRSTY:

Where am I?

RONSON:

You're in the Malahide Institute.

It's a psychiatric hospital. But, hey,

don't feel judged - it was just

the nearest place to bring you.

Remember? You and your boyfriend... ?
