Ash is thrown in a pit where he fights off a Deadite, regains his weapons, and uses his " boomstick", a Remington double-barreled sawed-off shotgun, to frighten the inhabitants of the kingdom into helping him return to his own time. A Priest keeps Ash's weapons, believing the "strange one" to be a redeemer, foretold in prophecy to be the one who shall deliver mankind from the terror of the Deadites. He is enslaved, his gun and chainsaw confiscated, and is taken to a castle. In this movie, instead of being praised, Ash is at first suspected of being one of Duke Henry's men, a Scot at war with the English knights who found Ash. There are some differences between the ending of Evil Dead II and the beginning of Army of Darkness. After reading a spell to defeat the demons, Ash is sucked into a time vortex with his Oldsmobile and is transported back to AD 1300 ("As near as I can figure"). Picking up where Evil Dead II left off, Ash narrates how he and his girlfriend Linda (played by Bridget Fonda in a very brief cameo), both supermarket clerks at an S-Mart retail store, went for a vacation in the woods to an old cabin and they discovered the book Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, or "Book of the Dead" and upon reading it, unleashed demonic forces as detailed in the previous films The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II.
