Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) - full transcript

The Freeling family move in with Diane's mother in an effort to escape the trauma and aftermath of Carol Anne's abduction by the Beast. But the Beast is not to be put off so easily and appears in a ghostly apparition as the Reverend Kane, a religeous zealot responsible for the deaths of his many followers. His goal is simple - he wants the angelic Carol Anne; but the love of her family and the power of psychic Tangina once again unite, along with an elderly native American, to fight for her life.

(WIND HOWLING)

Taylor!
Tangina.

Over here!

I think we finally
found the core.



We dug under
the swimming pool.

This is directly below
the old graveyard.

There's a presence.

(WATER RIPPLING)

TANGINA: There's
something terrible.

Too much power.

I've seen it in dreams.

What is it?

Where's the family now?

ROBBIE:
Did you make that?

GRAMMA JESS: It's like
an inch and a half.

Let me try this up
against her arm.

Oh, Mother, it's too
hot on the kids.

CAROL ANNE: Oh, Dad.
STEVEN: Okay. Ready.



(STEVEN LAUGHING)

(E. BUZZ BARKING)

(ALL CHATTERING)

GRAMMA JESS: You'll be lucky if
your teeth don't fall out from that.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Did you think up that
sandwich all by yourself?

No. Gramma helped.

What a fib! Grab me the red yarn
out of my basket, will you, honey?

(E. BUZZ BARKS)

DIANE: (LAUGHING)
E. Buzz, stop!

CAROL ANNE:
That's disgusting.

DIANE: Oh, Rob!
ROBBIE: E. Buzz.

DIANE: E. Buzz, down!

(E. BUZZ BARKING)
Well, maybe E. Buzz
would like some mustard.

STEVEN: E. Buzz,
get down. Down, E. Buzz.

I'll say "down," and then
he'll get down. Down!

(E. BUZZ BARKING)

He really listens to you.

Honey, now could you
get me the yellow yarn?

DIANE: Oh, Rob, very nice
to share with E. Buzz.

STEVEN: E. Buzz knows
how to share with Robbie.

ROBBIE: E. Buzz,
get down.

Thank you, angel.

Come on, Guerrero!
Hit it out of the park!

Yeah, hit it!

MAN ON RADIO: Guerrero has
fired a right and struck out...

(STATIC)

Dad, can't we get a TV
like everybody else?

No, no, we can't
get a TV.

Great, I'll just have
to grow up retarded.

Come on, Rob, kids
don't grow up retardo

because of lack of television.

Guerrero drives one
to left center field...

Atta boy, Guerrero! Did
you see that, Robbie?

No, Dad.
I didn't see it.

Well, you gotta use
your imagination, son.

Come on. We're gonna
test this baby out.

God!

(WHIRRING)

How am I gonna sell this to
innocent housewives, Robbie?

I don't know, Dad.

Whatcha drawing, honey?

Don't know. Stuff.

You draw very well.

Do you want to be an
artist when you grow up?

Maybe. Don't want
to grow up much.

How come?

Probably not much fun.

Oh, sure it is.

I've loved
every age I've been.

They all have
their blessings.

When I was your age,

I learned that I could do things
that other folks couldn't.

Like what kind of things?

I just knew things.

I didn't know how
I knew, but I did.

Like what?

Once, my mother lost her bracelet
and I knew where it was.

Two miles from our house in
a place that I'd never been.

Now,

do you ever know things
and can't explain why?

Yes?

Yes.

Well, darling,

that's a very special gift
that you and I have.

It's nothing
to be scared of.

Will it help me
be a ballerina?

Yes, sure it will.

Whatever you dream,
you can be.

DIANE: They denied
our claim again!

STEVEN: What?

I told you, we never should have told
them that the house vanished into thin air.

That's exactly what
I've been talking about.

You tell the truth, and
what do you get? Nada!

They say that if
the house disappeared,

then technically,
it's only missing.

Missing?

What do they think, this house is
going to return or something?

Now, it's been a full year.
The house is not coming back.

I got a gut feeling, Diane,
I'm positive about that.

I know that, Steven.

You tell them that...

No, no, I'm gonna fill
out the fourth claim.

Okay, what are we going
to claim this time?

Act of God? Housenapping?

Steven, we are
almost broke.

Okay, we're broke,
but we're not starving.

Okay, but I don't happen to like
having to live off my mother.

And I think that we deserve a
house of our own again someday.

Oh, honey, gee, gosh.

See, that's the difference
between you and me, Diane,

I am into downward mobility.

I'm not settled for it,
I'm into it.

I like getting out there in the
streets and meeting those. . .

I like selling vacuums.

I like carrying the pipes and the
apparatus in my little demo case.

Let's get the kids up, and we'll
paint the car different colors,

kind of DayGlo,

like we used to do when we
were kinda freaky, you know?

The freaky Freelings
on the road again!

You know, the family
whose house disappeared!

Watch them find it, Diane.

I'm not going to
get upset about this,

but I'll tell you something,
I'm writing them back

and when I sign that letter
I'm signing "Mr. President."

DIANE: (LAUGHING)
You are wacko!

Steven.

Hmm.

Steven.
Hmm?

(STEVEN SNIFFLING)

Steven, you were
never a hippie.

Huh?

You were never a hippie.
You were always into making money.

The only reason you painted your van
DayGlo colors and grew your hair long

was to impress
Cookie Gurnich.

Cookie? Necki necka wow!

Steven, don't tell me what
Cookie can do. I hated you then.

But I always knew how to
make up to you? Didn't I?

No, I don't remember.

- Sure you do.
- I do not!

Oh, come on.

I don't. Oh, you'd
sing that stupid song.

STEVEN: (SINGING)
♪ If I fell in love with you ♪

It's not gonna work, Steven.
Not in the shadow of Cookie.

♪ Would you promise
to be true? ♪

(CONTINUES SINGING)
Steven, don't even try it.

It's not working.

Don't sing that song.

I've never forgiven you
for Cookie Gurnich.

- I haven't.

"Good night, Mom."

ROBBIE: Come on, Dodgers!

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.
Come on, come on.

DIANE: Robbie?

Mom, I've talked
to the kittens.

They want to
come home with us.

Uh, no, sweetheart.
E. Buzz would get upset.

Robbie, come on.
Why?

Well, he's not used to
having other pets around.

Robert!

How would you like it if
I brought home a new baby?

That's even better
than a kitten.

Mom, I have
a great idea.

No, we are not buying
a television set, Robert.

ROBBIE: Mom, a present
for Dad. It's a bargain.

Mom!

Mom, where are you? Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Robbie!

Mom!

Robbie!

Hi.

Are you lost,
sweetheart?

Are you afraid, honey?

Well, why don't
you come with me?

No.

All right.

I'll sing you a song
till your mom comes back.

that's $10.26 plus tax.

Where's Carol Anne?

I don't know.
She was just here.

DIANE: Carol Anne?

Baby!

♪ He is with us... ♪

Carol Anne. Honey, what happened?
Did you get lost?

I don't know.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

Such a lovely child.

Oh, thank you
so much.

I'm sorry, honey.
We just stopped into a shop.

I thought you were
right there with us.

Honey, what is it?

Mom, I want to go home.

GRAMMA JESS: They're very unusual.
DIANE: They're just drawings.

- Ugly.
- Aw.

You know that she can see
colors with her hands.

Mama, we don't want
to hear that stuff, okay?

And we don't want Carol Anne
to hear, most of all.

There's nothing
to be afraid of.

How do you know what we should be
afraid of? You weren't there, were you?

Why don't you tell me?
It might help.

(SIGHS) I did
tell you.

No, not everything.

I don't remember
everything.

Try.

Well, first
the canary died.

And then the chairs
went all funny.

And I thought it was kind
of exciting, you know?

And then...

Carol Anne was gone.

And I...

(EXHALES)

Honey, what is it?

Nothing.

Nothing. I just want to get
on with our lives. It's over.

Diane.

Diane, you've got to go
unafraid into this life.

You don't want to instill
fear into that child

who is truly gifted and
filled with knowledge.

I don't want her
to be gifted!

You don't mean that.

I'm going to bed,
Mama. Good night.

I'll be there if you need me.

(TOY TELEPHONE RINGING)

Yes?

Yes.

I'll be good.

I love you, too.

Good night, Gramma.

She knew you
loved her so much.

(CRYING) Oh, if I just
had one more day.

(SNIFFLING)

What's wrong?

Honey...

Gramma passed
away last night.

Gramma died?

Come here, baby.

It's all right, Mom.

YOUNG DIANE: Let's plant
them over there, okay?

JESS: All right, now, what do
you think? Do you want it here?

No.

How about here?

No.
Where?

I want it there,
right there.

Right there?

Right there.
Absolutely here.

Okay.

You dig a hole.
Dig it very deep.

Okay.

Oh, Mom.

You always made
me feel so safe.

I love you so much.

Mom?

Can you put these on me, so I
can be a ballerina with wings?

Darling, you can be
anything you want to be.

(DIANE AND STEVEN EXCLAIM)

Who the hell are you?

Name's Taylor.

Great. Good name.
Come on, let's go.

Tangina Barrons sent me.

Oh, yeah. Well, say hello to the
magic munchkin for us, will you?

Steve, wait, wait.
Sent you for what?

There's no use running.

It'll find you.

You're better off here.

Let's go.
You stay. We're gone.

Come on, kids.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

You got me up at 4:00 in
the morning to tell me this?

You are a pack
of trouble, girl.

Why are you messing
around with that bum?

MOTHER: Because
I like him.

Dad, are we going to
have to move again?

(SIGHS)

I don't know, Robbie.

I'm gonna think about it.

Where can we go?

Disneyland?

Oh, puke!
Don't be such an infant!

(SHUSHING)

Okay, what about
Dunkin' Donuts?

Shut up, jerko.
Hey!

Look. Here.

Take this, go play
the pinball machine.

And give some
to your brother.

No.
ROBBIE: Come on,

I wanna play pinball.
Give the money to me.

What are we gonna do?
I don't know.

I'm thinking.

Honey, we have to go somewhere.
We can't just drive around.

Well, Mother, just don't you
bring him over to my house.

Waitress, check!

(IN GRAMMA JESS'S VOICE)
Listen, children, you can't run from this thing.

It has made contact
and will stop at nothing.

You've got to
fight it head on.

Stay together.

Be loving.

Be brave.

Mama?

(IN NORMAL VOICE)
I'm not your mother, lady.

Elizabeth, are you okay?

What happened?

ELIZABETH: What happened?
MOTHER: You went funny.

DIANE: But it sounded like her.
I don't understand.

STEVEN: Honey, you can't
explain stuff like that.

It just happens. I mean,
there's no reason for it.

ROBBIE: What are
you talking about?

DIANE: It doesn't
matter, honey.

STEVEN: What do
you want?

She told you the truth.

DIANE: Who?

(STAMMERING) You mean
that...

Ah, man, are you in cahoots
with the lady in there?

I cahoot with no one.

Then why are you
following us?

I came to help.

Oh, God. I mean,
you don't understand.

See, we don't
want your help.

We don't want
anybody's help.

We want to be left alone!

Steven, wait.
Why did Tangina send you?

Why didn't she
come herself?

It's my kind of job.

You know, maybe
it's no coincidence.

This guy shows up,
things go kinda screwy.

Get off my car!

Get in the car, Diane.

Get in the car, kids.
Diane, get in the car.

Steven, wait a minute.
Steven, let's listen to the man.

Fine, you listen to him.
I wanna go home.

Listen, let's be
sensible about this.

Sensible? What is sensible, honey?
Nobody can help us.

Now, let's just get in the car
and get the hell out of here!

And go where?
It followed us here.

It'll follow us wherever we go.
We can't just keep running.

CAROL ANNE:
Where are you from?

TAYLOR: I'm from
all over.

This is Katrina.

Katrina?
Mmm-hmm.

Hi, Katrina.

What's that?

It's my medicine bag.

Charms.

See?

(BARKING)

The house is okay?
You're sure?

E. Buzz agrees.
It's okay for now.

Oh, the dog agrees, huh?
Gee, that's terrific, isn't it?

Yes.

Your car.

STEVEN: Yeah?

Very angry.

Uh-huh.

I'll fix it.

Make it happy?

(CHUCKLES)

Okay.

I've read about these
rain dances. I know.

DIANE: I understand,
Tangina.

We don't need rain.

DIANE: I can't say that Steven
fully trusts him yet.

Well, you can't
blame him, I mean...

Yeah, okay. Well, thanks, Tangina.
We will. Bye.

Honey, she says he's okay.
I think we should give him a chance.

Tangina says he's okay?

Yeah.

Oh, that's great.

Keep an open mind,
Steven.

(SIGHS)

Diane, I mean, really.
This is bizarre.

You know, look, I've got nothing
against these people.

You know, I mean, I read
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

I got through most
of the chapters.

I got some Indian
in me, I think.

A sixteenth, my mother
will never admit to it.

But honey, I mean,
what if this guy

is, like, an escapee
from the tribal asylum?

ROBBIE: Mom,
come look at this!

(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

(GASPS)

Oh, my God!

I don't believe it!

(LAUGHS)

What are you doing?

Oh, hi, Mom. I'm going to help
protect the family now.

Let me see.

Come outside, Robbie.
Hey, I'm a big guy now.

And I'm still your mother.
Go in the house and wait for me.

Thanks, Mom.

He wants to be a man.

Well, there are a lot
of ways to be a man.

I'm not sure wearing claw marks
and war paint is one of them.

How would you know?

What?

You're not a man, are you?

Okay, I'm not a man.
But you're not a mother!

It is my job to do
everything I can

to make my children
part of a normal world.

A world of school,
and friends, and lovers,

and families of
their own, someday.

Well, that's good.

Right, I know.

And I hope that they'll learn
to forget all this soon.

They cannot learn
by forgetting.

Well, what would
you have me do,

I mean, they're just
children, for God's sake.

Children have fought wars.
They've built nations.

They are strong
and have courage.

Don't treat them any less than
that because they're young.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(ENGINE BACKFIRING)

(STEVEN SCREAMS)

STEVEN: Taylor!

Taylor!

Okay, Taylor, okay.

Okay, huh? Huh? Okay.

You can stay in
the house, okay?

You can have my aura, my spirits,
the ghosts, the whole deal.

The whole cazaba! But keep
your hands off my car!

Okay? Hands off!
It's worse than it was before.

Car's still angry, huh?

Angry? That car
is pissed!

That is possible!

I get around.
I love getting around.

Love talking to people.

Even on a rainy day.

(WHIMPERING)

Ha! Dog's shedding.

Hi!

Hi.

I saw you at
the shopping mall.

Sure you did.
I remember your little angel, here.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Henry Kane.

Mom!

You know, I got to tell you,
we've had, uh...

We've had enough of door-to-door
salesmen, if you don't mind.

Reverend Kane!

What I sell is free!

Mind if I come in and
talk to you about it?

Mom, I don't feel well.

You know, I gotta...

Maybe, we'll just talk
from here, all right?

DIANE: Come inside, baby. I want
to take your temperature.

Come on, Robbie.

I'm glad we have this
opportunity to talk

with your family
out of the way.

Because I believe you
have a problem here.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

I believe, there's an Indian
living here with you?

Taylor.

(LAUGHS) So that's what
he calls himself now.

You are in danger!

What do you mean?

I'm with an organization whose
concern is families like your own,

families in crisis that are
preyed upon by charlatans

with fake magic
and false solutions!

Now, I don't expect
you to believe me now,

but let me come in and
talk to you about it.

I don't know. This is just crazy.
This is nuts.

Please! Open your heart and
your mind to what I'm saying.

He is dangerous!

(GASPING)

I can see that he has a
strong hold on this family.

Who do your wife and children
turn to with their problems?

They turn to him.

Now, don't they?

They don't trust you

anymore.

What you fear

is that you're
not man enough

to hold this family together.

(STAMMERING) How do you know?

Because,

I'm smart.

And I'm your friend.

And I know what
you are thinking.

How?

Now,

let me in.

And let's talk about it.

Let me in!

You're my friend?

Let me in!

CAROL ANNE: Daddy?

Now! Before it's too late!

(GASPS)

No.

You're gonna die in there!
All of you!

You are gonna die!

Get the hell out of here!

you're still unconvinced.

(SIGHS)

You did good.

Who was that?

(SIGHS) That was him.

Him?

What are you
talking about?

He was testing your power.

He comes in many forms,
but that was him.

Now you're hooked. You're
on the path of a warrior.

Hooked? Hey, wait. Taylor,
what are you talking about?

Your confrontation with him
was a drain on your power.

We don't have much time.
We must prepare.

Prepare?

Oh, God.

(COUGHING)

Tequila.
Ta kill ya!

You want a hit?

No. I used to drink.
I had to give it up.

Bad dreams.

Mmm.

You see something?

No.

(WHISPERING)
What are you doing?

(SIGHING)

Seeking power.

Me, too.

You feel like a leaf at the mercy
of the wind, don't you?

Yep. That's right.
That's me.

Since the day you were born,
one way or another,

someone has been doing
something to you.

No, I don't...
I don't think that's true.

They've been doing something
to you against your will.

And by now,
you're feeling helpless,

like a leaf in the wind.

Taylor, it would
help me out a lot

if you'd just say
what's on your mind

so I could
understand you.

You understand me.

No matter how much you like
to feel sorry for yourself,

you have to change that.

I'm a warrior.

A warrior would rather
be defeated and die

than act against
his nature.

That is the path
you've chosen to take,

whether you know it
or not.

You should assume
full responsibility.

Responsibility for what?

Responsibility
for everything.

Everything in your world.

Come on, Robbie.

Robbie, you're supposed
to clean your braces

and come downstairs now.

Shut up, jerko!
I'm doing it, okay?

Don't "okay" me!

You're a pest,
you know that?

(HISSING)

(SCREAMS)

Don't do that.

I didn't do anything.

You're such an infant.

Ready?
Mmm-hmm.

Where's Robbie?

He says he's coming.

Okay.

Kiss Katrina, too.

Good night, girls.
Good night.

Rob, come on!

Good night, sweetie.
Good night, Daddy.

Ooh ! The telephone.

Hello?

Yes.

KANE: You can't keep her!
I am not dead!

(WHIMPERING)

He's still here.

He feels she belongs
to him.

But why?

I'm not sure,

but he's used to getting
what he wants.

Taylor.

Who is he?

What is he?

He's a man
filled with a demon,

lost in a dimension
that surrounds our world.

This entity believes that his
world and ours are the same.

Why doesn't he know
he's dead?

Because he isn't.

How can that be?

Nothing really dies.

Like a caterpillar
becomes a butterfly,

death only transforms us
into another state of being.

This man was evil

and his soul remains evil

because he chooses
not to see the light

and pass on
to a different consciousness.

How are we going
to fight this thing?

Until we learn
how to defeat him,

we do not let him win.

That's a hell of a plan.
That's a lot of crap.

I suppose you have
a plan of your own.

That's a lot of crap!
Shh.

Listen.
Don't come apart now.

TAYLOR: This spirit
is very clever.

He knows your strength
is your love,

and he hates you for that.

He's been trying to pull
this family apart,

and he will continue to try.

If he succeeds,

he will possess Carol Anne

and destroy your spirit.

Hi !

Tangina!

Hi, Diane.

What are you doing here?

Sorry to come unannounced, sweetie,
but I need to speak with you.

Oh, I'm glad to see you.

Oh, good. 'Cause we're
running out of time.

TANGINA: Mmm-hmm,
below the old cemetery,

what seems to be a tomb
with many bodies in it,

directly below your house.

Who are they?

The researchers don't know
who these people were.

There are no marked graves.

There are, however,
records of a religious sect

that mysteriously disappeared.

What happened?

Their spiritual leader
was a medium

who led his followers
out to California

in the early 1800s
to start a utopian society.

They disappeared
near Cuesta Verde

and were believed
massacred by Indians.

This could be them.

This funny?

Well, no, uh...

I love the health club,
you know.

I'm just wondering when I
get the key to my locker?

You're going to need it.

The entity has revealed
his essence to you, his enemy.

Now that you've
seen each other,
there'll be no mistakes.

Take this smoke.

Smoke,

make him one with power
and knowledge.

Here is a photo
of those people.

I think you should
have a look at it.

I know this is
hard for you, dear,

but I need your verification
on something.

You see, I don't really trust

my instincts anymore.

Now, hold this one

and tell me what you feel.

(DIANE GASPS)

Oh, my God, I've seen him!

I thought so.
Where?

Oh, my God. Here!
At the mall! At our house!

Who is he?

Tell me what you feel.
Just tell me what you feel.

What do you want me to do?
Who is he?

I've consulted others.

They've told me things,
but they said you know more!

I don't know anything!

Yes, you do!

You traveled to a dimension

few people have ever
traveled to incarnate!

Your daughter is
highly clairvoyant!

As was your mother,
I suspect.

As you are as well!

Now tell me what you feel!

It is him.
It's the preacher.

They're following him in death
like they did in life.

DIANE: They seal themselves
in the cavern,

because Kane tells them the
end of the world is coming.

Come with me!

DIANE: The day he predicts
for the end comes and goes,

but Kane won't
let them leave!

Don't! No, please!
Please don't!

Please don't!

(SOBBING)

Please...

TANGINA: Oh, Diane.

Yes, it all makes
sense now.

When you brought Carol Anne
back to this world,

his followers became restless

because they had tasted
the light of her being,

her life force.

Now he wants her back.

This person is no longer human.

He is the beast.

You must take your family
back to Cuesta Verde.

What?

The evil spirit
that is stalking you,

it knows who you are,

where you are,
how to find you,

what your weaknesses are.

Your best bet is
to confront him,

surprise him
on his own ground.

But, Taylor, what about Diane
and the kids?

They are your power

and you are theirs.

(EAGLE SCREECHING)

(SIGHING)

Uh, are things
desperate, Taylor?

What you see as desperate,
I see as inevitable.

I've done all I can.

I must be
leaving you now.

I'll take you home.

STEVEN: Um, guys,

you know, there's, uh,
no reason to get depressed.

I mean, Taylor's not here.
That's all right.

We'll just keep on going just like we've
been doing, as a family, as a unit...

Son, you know, I've told you
about the helmet and eating...

I told you,
I'm not hungry.

Miniature golf.

Tomorrow we can play
some miniature golf!

We can get
our putters...

How about
bowling, huh?

You like bowling,
sweet pea.

Nature hike, Rob.
Huh? We'll get...

Brisk walk?

I know.
The water slide, huh?

We'll take E. Buzz, we'll put water
wings on him, we'll shove him down,

(LAUGHING) and laugh,
won't we?

CAROL ANNE: So, after
Alice fell down the hole,

why'd she drink
from that bottle?

DIANE: Because it said
"drink me" on it.

Oh. Were they going
to capture her

and take her someplace bad?

Yes, but Alice
gets home all right, remember?

Did she know why they
wanted to hurt her?

I don't think so, honey.

'Cause I know.

You know what?

Why they're here.

Why, baby?
Why are they here?

Because they don't know
where else to go.

Do you believe him, Dad?

Honey, it was
real smart of you

to hide in the car
like that.

It wasn't my idea.

Taylor said it was the
only safe place.

Dad, do you believe him?

I do... I do believe him,
son. Yeah.

I do.

Oh, Tangina.
Thank God.

I knew you'd be here,
so I had to be here, too.

We had to come, Tangina.

I know, but there are many dangers

Are you okay, honey?

Yeah, Mom. I'm okay.

Careful, honey.

Mom!

Honey, honey, listen. If you don't
want to go through with this,

we can leave here
right now, okay?

No, Mom,
I do want to go on.

You always remember that, okay?

Okay.

Oh, no!

band together.

That will prevent you from
crossing over into eternity.
