HELLRAISER: HELLSEEKER script

Trevor Gooding, suffering memory loss and hallucinations after a car accident that killed his pregnant wife, Kirsty, is haunted by visions of Pinhead and experiences disturbing apparitions of murders. As Detective Lange investigates Kirsty's disappearance, Trevor's visions intensify, revealing fragmented memories and a mysterious puzzle box, leading him to confess to the murders of Gwen and Tawny. Pinhead reveals to Trevor at the morgue that Trevor is dead, his body one of five souls Kirsty sacrificed to escape the Cenobites, as Kirsty, alive and orchestrating his torment, identifies his corpse. Kirsty receives the puzzle box as part of her inheritance, and as she leaves, the box, now with Lange, begins to open, implying the Cenobites' continued influence.

Dialogue examples

Wow. Let's see. So many sins so little time. For starters I was responsible for the death my wife who by the way was carrying my unborn child. That was so I could collect her eight million dollar estate. I think I killed several women I was having mindless sex with behind her back. But I did those murders just for the hell of it. Finally... I think I made some kind of deal with the devil and now he's come to collect my soul. Only he's decided to mess with my head first. How many Hail Marys do you recommend for that one father?

Trevor Gooding / Scene 53

Okay. What we're going to do is up the Topomax to two per day instead of one, see if that takes care of these hallucinatory seizures you've been having. The extra Topomax won't interfere with the painkillers either but... You're going to be thrilled to hear this part but we have been told by some patients it affects the memory somewhat...

Dr. Allison Dormere / Scene 38

It was an analogy. Your soul is locked up inside you. You need to free it Trevor. You've blocked it from the healing process. That's what we need to do now. Heal your soul. And to do that I you have to give in utterly and without any hesitation or doubt. Do you know what I mean by giving in? It's about trust. Do you trust me implicitly?

Sage / Scene 45

They were all real screamers too. We had a blast. And there was one more. You've seen many things you wished you hadn't. Many nightmares from which you never awoke. They were all clues in our little puzzle. Can you guess now Trevor? Can you guess the fifth soul chosen for us to torment in this little agreement?

Pinhead / Scene 67

And as far as hiding a body goes? I find it hard to believe even the dirtiest of cops would keep a victim's remains hidden simply to get someone to confess. It's absolutely preposterous. Now I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm....ambiguous. There's quite alot of money behind all this.

Larry Ellis / Scene 36

Yes I'm trying to reach one of your interns... Allison Dormere...? She works in the emergency room there... What do you mean...? I just saw her today... Yes I'm sure she works there I've been in and out of that place five times in the last month...! Well good day to you too asshole!

Trevor Gooding / Scene 43

We found this curious little object not too far from the site of the accident. No prints but forensics scraped a little dark residue that was caked on one of the corners. It was blood Trevor. Matched some blood we took off your car seat too. Can you tell me anything about it?

Detective Lange / Scene 41

Yahtzee. Were all in this together Trev. Trevor there are people who are doing exactly what we're doing but they don't need to wear a tie, punch a clock or have some tight assed supervisor breathing down their necks. Its all about the pleasure Trevor!

Bret / Scene 42
