Friday the 13th: The Series (1987) s02e01 Episode Script

Doorway to Hell

(thunder crashing) (phonograph powers up) (slow ragtime jazz playing) (mechanical creaking) (chimes tinkling) (thunder crashes) What's wrong? JACK MARSHAK: Not long ago, while returning a mysterious Egyptian urn to the safety of the vault, Micki and Ryan inhaled its fatal fumes, and entered a realm of dreams in which they would surely die.
What's happening? I don't know! It was the work of a dead man.
Uncle Lewis Vendredi had somehow returned from hell to retake his lost heritage.
(laughing) Lewis? With the help of my friend Rashid, I entered their dream.
Despite the temptations and apparitions Lewis placed in my path, I was able to rescue them.
Lewis had failed.
(sizzling) Rashid, get us out of here! Since then, something has changed.
Lewis seems closer now.
We can all feel it.
Perhaps he's no longer imprisoned for eternity, but once again, a very active servant of Satan.
(laughing) (eerie yell) (thunderclap) (eerie yelling) (creaking and rumbling) (explosion) (eerie laughter) (thunderclaps) Over here, Jack! (laughs) Lewis! (laughs) (bell clanging) Quitting time, Eddie.
It's a dead night.
No sense us being as dead in the morning.
I can stay.
It's no trouble, Mike.
You can trust me.
So your parole officer said.
He also said not to tempt you.
(bell dings) Wipe the windows, check the oil and pump a buck in it, sport.
Hey, look, Buddy.
Look I'm out.
I'm out of the whole scene.
All right? They could put me back in the joint for just talking to you.
You think I'd leave a guy with your talents out on the streets? Hey, look, I'm out of it, all right? I'm through working with you! You're through when I say you're through, Eddie.
You sign on with me, it's for the duration.
Yeah, well, all right, all right, look, look, look.
Just leave Mike alone.
He got nothing worth taking, all right? Yeah? Let's see.
Hey, Buddy, what? Buddy, no man.
What are you doing?! Open the safe.
I only got what's in the register, man.
Sure.
Clock is ticking.
Open it! EDDIE: Hey, Mike, do like he says, all right? He don't know the combination.
Doesn't have to.
This kid's a real find.
You didn't know what you had, did you? Here.
Now get out of here, Buddy.
There's one more thing.
No! Shouldn't have told him my name.
Think they're gonna believe you weren't in on it? They'll put you away permanently, man.
Permanently.
(engine running) Let's go! (tires screeching) It's Louis the 14th, Ryan.
I'm telling you, Jack, it's not here.
It's got to be; look again.
Will you give me a break? I'm not even awake yet.
Jack, are you sure you weren't dreaming? No, Micki, it was Lewis, looking just as he did when the devil took him to hell.
And the last time he tried to come back.
And you saw him in that mirror? Yes.
Oh, then it won't be in the Manifest.
I found this in his room upstairs.
I moved it down here when we restocked the store.
Does this mean I can go back to bed? It was one of Lewis's processions? That's why I could see him in it.
Lewis practiced the occult.
Mirrors that have reflected occult ceremonies become windows into the Realms of Darkness.
Realms of Darkness? It's a dimension between here and hell.
Now, when Lewis tried to come back to life last time, he used the Amulet of Zohar, remember? Hmm.
JACK: This time, he seems to have found a path through mirrors.
But how? I don't know.
I better talk to Rashid.
No one knows more about the Realms of Darkness than he.
Jack.
JACK: Hmm? Jack, look at this.
Let me see.
It's a deed.
"hereby grants to Lewis Vendredi "all rights of property to I didn't know Lewis owned a house.
Want us to check this out? Wait till I check with Rashid.
Jack, there might be something that Lewis could use in there, an object that he kept for himself and didn't list in the Manifest.
No, Micki.
Something about this feels odd.
Lewis wouldn't visit me without a reason.
I want to know what it is.
(crickets chirping) (wolf howling) (bird squealing) (wolf howling) (bird squealing) (window creaks) EDDIE: I can't believe this, man.
We ought to be getting out of town.
What the hell are we doing here? It's a great hideout.
Nobody even knows where it is.
Man, it's hot in here.
Yeah, and there's no room service.
Maybe we should go somewhere else.
Come on, I'll show you around.
(eerie roar) (laughing) Couldn't sleep.
Me neither.
I wonder what in the hell is keeping Jack so long.
Well, Rashid's not exactly the easiest guy in the world to find.
That's because he spends so little time in it.
Not to worry.
He'll find him, and everyone will know what's happening.
Micki, look.
It's Lewis.
We were right.
He's in the house.
What's he looking for? An object.
That's it.
Something that can bring him back to life.
We've got to get there and find it before he does.
But Look, if he finds whatever it is he's looking for, it'll be too late.
But, Jack Come on! (door creaks) (laughing) (faint laughter) Hey, what was that, man? What was what? I heard somebody laughing.
Will you stop being so jumpy? Here.
I don't understand you, you know.
You blow somebody away, and then you just calmly crack open a beer, like it's nothing.
Cooking some breakfast, too.
You want some? No.
Suit yourself.
There's no phone to call for pizza.
You must have practiced in the joint.
I've never seen you work that fast.
Yeah, well, I never seen you kill anybody.
It's not as good as they make it look on TV, is it? Mistake, sport.
Cops will be looking for you.
You walk out, you're finished and you know it.
Yeah.
Watch those eggs for me.
I left my cigarettes in my room.
(engine turns off) Tell me that's not it.
(gate creaks) (gate creaks) (gate clanks) We got company.
(panting) (door creaks) After you.
(clicking) Guess he hasn't been paying his light bill.
Sure feels like he kept the furnace stoked.
Whew! Why is it so hot in here? Look at all this stuff.
He could be after almost anything.
Let's look around.
Don't move and don't make a sound.
(man screaming) Ryan! RYAN: Micki, don't come in here! You don't have guns.
You're not cops.
So what are you doing here? (imitating); What are you doing here? You got a size-12 mouth, lady.
Any more lip, and I'll fit this in it.
Now, who the hell are you? RYAN: Leave her alone! Just take our money and get lost.
I want to know why you're here! Listen, man, maybe we should get out of here.
And maybe you should go finish shaving.
You look like one of them stupid razor commercials.
What are we going to do with them anyway? I'll think of something.
Especially for you.
(screaming) Buddy! Help me! Buddy, help me! Help me! Eddie! (screaming) What's going on down there? Buddy.
(pounding) Is somebody with you? Huh? I'm afraid so.
Help me! (eerie screams and laughter) Help me.
(evil laughter) Who are you?! What's going on here?! (chanting in foreign language) My God! It's unbelievable.
Some tremendous force is overwhelming the entire dimension.
It's got to be Lewis.
Lewis? No single spirit could possess such a power.
Could it? I don't know.
(laughs evilly) Eddie! You've got to untie us.
Something's happened to him.
Rashid, that's Micki and Ryan! Where are they? They must be in Louis' house.
Damn it! I told them not to Why is he showing us that? I'm not sure exactly.
Perhaps perhaps a tremendous negative energy could cause the pathways to to twist, to bend.
And instead of seeing into the realms of darkness, it's deflecting us back to this world? Yes.
Precisely.
But why Louis' house? Because the source is there.
Find out what's going on! You can't send her.
Can't I? Move! You don't come back, I'll take your boyfriend's head off.
I don't need this crap, Eddie.
(rumbling) What the hell you doing, man? Get out of here, Micki! Run! (rumbling, electricity crackling) What's happening?! (rumbling, electricity crackling) Somebody Ryan, get out of there! Get out! Jack? (rumbling, electricity crackling) Somebody, please (rumbling, electricity crackling) (gunshot) (rumbling) MICKI: Ryan, hurry! Micki, get out! (rumbling) (door slams and locks) (rumbling) He's locked it! (doors slamming and locking) He's locking the whole house! (rumbling stops) LEWIS: It's just starting, Jack.
Let them go, Lewis.
Sorry.
I need them for a little task I have to complete.
No, Jack.
Wait! You can't go in there until we discover exactly what powers Lewis possesses.
This would be suicide.
He's going to kill them! No.
Not so.
If that was what he wanted, he would have let them be shot.
Believe me.
He is after something else.
I can't just leave them there, Rashid.
No.
Of course not.
But we must first determine exactly what Lewis is trying to accomplish.
Well, then, let's discuss it on the way.
No.
Wait.
Wait.
We can't lose contact.
There.
Now let's go.
(chuckles) Very good.
Any sign of him? No.
Here.
Help me with this window, huh? (both grunting) Hey, hey! Wait a minute! Just relax, huh? You killed Buddy.
No.
We Open the window.
I I can't.
Open it.
Look, we don't know what's going on.
Shut up! Open the window! I said I can't! (gunshot) (gunshot, mirror shatters) Micki! (gagging) Quick! Barricade the door.
I don't think a few pieces of furniture are going stop him.
Jack said mirrors that witness the occult become windows to the Realms of Darkness.
With everything Lewis practiced, every mirror in here must be cursed.
But there's none in here.
What what can he be after? It can't be an object.
He'd have had that kid get it for him by now.
And he's so scared, he could be more dangerous than Lewis.
I'll have to find something to take him out of the picture.
No, Jack.
You must stay back with the car.
Spells will be stronger if we both are there.
I don't want Lewis to see that you are here.
Please! All right, but hurry! Besticitum consolatio veni ad me vertat Ah! Stat superior (evil laughter) My God! Rashid! I'm right here.
Are you all right, my friend? Yes.
Yes.
(Lewis laughing evilly) (Lewis' voice) I've got them, Jack.
This isn't possible.
Shall I finish them? Jack, no! (evil laughter) Lewis.
Ryan, what day is it? Friday.
Why? The date? Lewis died a year ago today.
Murae Unitas Murae Unitas (voice echoing): Murae Unitas Murae Unitas Micki get out! The room's collapsing! Ryan, he's out there! Would you rather stay here? Ryan! Has he ever manifested such strength before? No.
I'd like to know where he's getting it from this time.
But there is only one way.
Beyond the mirrors, in the Realms of Darkness, Lewis has somehow opened the doorway.
The doorway to Hell? RYAN: Help me! The whole place is coming down! We're going to be caught! It's open! I can't breathe! RYAN: We've got to jump! No! RYAN: We've got no choice.
My God, he's taken them! (eerie wailing) Ryan! (screaming) Jack! Micki, Ryan! I told you to say good-bye, Jack.
(evil laughter) Damn you, Lewis.
(screaming) (loud slurping) (yelling) (high-pitched squeaking) JACK (voice echoing): Micki, Ryan! Jack! Jack, where are you? Hang on.
Jack, the date-- look at the date! No! The date? Jack? Jack, we're in here! What are you doing to us? (evil laughter) Son of a bitch! Ryan, no! Come on, kill him.
Send your soul right to Hell.
Don't.
What are you waiting for? Do it! (evil laughter) He must be going after Jack.
And I think he has to leave that body so we won't hear him.
Why would he care if we hear? He dropped us back here just at the moment I was telling Jack about the date.
There's something he doesn't want us to know.
Lewis is using that body as a host.
We've got to put it out of commission.
Come on.
Now he's blocking us.
He's keeping us out.
Maybe we can ram that door with a car.
Jack, wait.
The portals between dimensions are incredibly fragile.
At this point, we must be very careful what we do here.
I've got to get in there, Rashid.
Jack, stop.
That's what he wants.
Can't you see? He's goading you, he's challenging you.
That's why he hasn't harmed the kids.
Demonic powers have flooded the Realms of Darkness.
Unless we are absolutely certain of what we are doing here, we could cause this power to spill into our world.
Maybe move the scale toward the side of evil.
Since the day he died, Lewis has been trying to regain his power.
To reenter the world of the living.
Since the day he died Yes, of course.
Come on Rashid, come on, hurry! Jack, I don't understand.
What's so important about this date? The other day, Micki borrowed this book But there is nothing special about this day Oh, yes, there is.
You just listen to this.
I should have known he'd try something like this.
"From midnight on the first death date and rising of the sun "those who have been drawn to Hell, may purchase freedom from the Evil One.
" Purchase freedom? "Eternal life is granted he who serves the Devil right.
BOTH: And draws three uncorrupted souls into the endless night" Yes.
Yes, three souls.
Micki, Ryan And me.
That's why Lewis needs me in that house.
He can't fulfill his end of the bargain without me.
Exactly.
And if you don't go, nothing can happen.
LEWIS: That would be too easy, my friends.
The Master made me a promise.
If you don't come, I get to kill them anyway.
You are lying.
Micki and Ryan are finished, Jack! Their only chance was you, and you've failed them.
Let her go! We're trapped here just the same as you.
You get me out of here or I'll blow her head off.
You're not touching me again.
Wasn't us.
Believe me! Move.
(eerie whirring) Help! Help me! Ryan, look (yelling) Please, help me! Hold on! Oh, my God Go ahead, break it.
Then he'll be here for the rest of his life.
I can't understand why he doesn't just take me from here.
Why hasn't he? He has all the powers of Hell at his disposal-- why hasn't he? Yes.
He's stayed in that house ever since this whole thing started.
Surely, he would come for you? Unless Unless he can't.
You're saying that he's powerless outside that house.
That's as far as the leash runs until he's fulfilled his part of the pact.
Exactly.
Rashid, if Lewis can go back and forth through a mirror, could I? With the proper incantations, yes.
We could use this, if it weren't broken.
No matter.
Any mirror in that house will work as well.
No, you can't go back in there! God only knows what other horrors that doorway has released besides Lewis! The only chance we got is to close that doorway and cut Lewis off from his power.
Here, let me have your car keys.
How do we know it's even possible to close it? We don't.
We've got to try.
Before you suggest coming with me, I need you here working with that.
Yes, I see.
Keys.
Work quickly, my friend.
Farewell, old friend.
The power of light be with you (door creaking) (hissing) Micki, Ryan, thank God you're out of there.
Jack! Are you both all right? Yeah, we're fine.
So far.
Good, both of you.
(moaning) What are we gonna do? We've got one chance.
I'm going in there and I'm going to close that doorway.
What? Closing the doorway is going to cut him off from his power.
And it will also open the doors for you here.
And what about you? I'll be fine.
Look, tell me everything you saw on the other side.
Anything that's going to help me find that door.
You've got to look for the light.
Everything else is in darkness.
There's a sculpture-- it's by a altar.
Look, maybe I should show you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Look, I need both of you here.
Give me five minutes and then I want you to break every mirror you can find in this house.
How are you going to get out of there? What about Eddie? Just don't break that one.
Look, I need Lewis to be distracted.
I need him to think that we're trying to trap him in there.
Come on.
Time's passing.
Come on.
Jack Good luck, Jack.
Yeah.
By the powers of Aurora, by the shining name of Helios the darkened shores of Charon to the dying fields of Erebus.
Admit this traveler entry.
(whooshing) (eerie voices moaning) (voices moaning, screeching) RYAN: He's got to have time to reach the doorway.
What if he doesn't make it? He saw what was in there.
Micki, Micki, he'll be alright.
He knows what he's doing.
Now let's go.
All right.
Come on.
(voices shrieking, moaning) (voices screaming and wailing) (wailing continues) (loud hissing) (screams and wailing continue) (bats squeaking) (bats squeaking) (gasps) (gagging) (hissing) (Jack gasps) As it is in Hell, shall it come to be on Earth.
World without light! So be it! (evil laughter) Send him forth, Master.
Release the Beast to my bidding! (beast moaning, growling) Come forth and feast! Come forth and devour the holy! (beast growling) Leave your lair and foil the living! (evil laughter) No! No! Hear me, Jack, you'll pay for this! You and your friends have interfered with our plans for the last time.
Do you hear me, Jack? (speaks foreign language) (muttering in Latin) (glass breaks) (beast growling) (voices moaning, wailing) (gasps) Rashid! (speaking Latin) Jack? Jack? (grunting) Yes, yes, Jack! Come on! Do it! (grunting) (groans) Yeah! (voices shrieking, moaning) (wind whistling) (glass breaking) (glass breaking) Where are you? (roaring) (Micki screaming) (gasps) (shrieking, wailing voices) Where are you?! Jack, come on do it! (beast roaring) (gasping) He's closing it! (beast growling) (shrieking) (Jack gasps) This isn't over.
I've got Jack, I've got this body.
We'll meet again real soon.
You bastard, Lewis! (Lewis grunting) RYAN: Help me! He's losing his power! Rashid! (speaking Latin) Rashid! (Lewis growls) This is not the end! You haven't finished with me! (groans) Rashid! (muttering in Latin) Jack! Jack! Oh, Ryan (sobbing) He didn't make it.
We've lost him! (sobbing) (bell above door jangles) (sobs) Shh Ryan, what're we gonna do? We keep fighting, finding the objects.
That's what he would have wanted us to do.
I-I can't.
I can't without Jack.
Shh.
Come on.
We have to.
Otherwise, he died for nothing.
I almost wish Lewis had taken us, too.
Whoo! That's sweaty work toiling at the gates of Hell, you know? Jack! Jack, you're alive! How are you?! What happened?! How'd you get out? A good friend gave me a hand.
Welcome back, you two.
We saw you get out.
What's taken so long? And where's Eddie? We too him to the police station.
It's all right! He's forgotten everything.
He just wanted to talk to them about his friend.
Jack, we'll never forget this.
We owe you one! We owe you, too, Rashid.
Oh, no, please, it was nothing.
(chuckles) I did it with mirrors.
(groans) Speaking of which, Jack, I put Lewis' mirror into the vault.
It has seen into the realms of darkness for the last time.
Then we've probably seen the last of Lewis, too.
(loud clattering)
