[eerie music]

VOICEOVER:The great estate of Collinwood

has never known a more expl*sive night than this.

[thunder rumbling]

Jeb has definite proof that Barnabas

is a traitor to the Leviathans.

And before his punishment comes, Barnabas is determined

to steal the sacred Naga Box,

so that no other innocent human can be made

a member of the vicious cult.

He goes to the antique shop, leaving Quentin outside,

as his guard succeeds in taking the box from Jeb's room.

Then, Barnabas, alone, takes the box

to the one place he knows it can be destroyed.

[dramatic music]

It was here that I first saw this box.

The blackest day of my life.

Spirits, if you are listening,

know that I no longer need you.

[thunder rumbling]

Know that my days will be spent

ridding my world of the Leviathans.

[ominous music]

[squeaking]

[squeaking]

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

[eerie music]

[ominous music]

[thunder rumbling]

You were warned, but you didn't listen, you traitor.

Now you're doomed to a life of eternal darkness.

Oberon.

Eza.

Can you spirits hear me, my mother and father?

I know what I did was without your permission,

but now I have this

and the Leviathans will go on.

[eerie string music]

[wind howling]

[thunder rumbling]

[screaming]

[suspenseful music]

[thunder rumbling]

What have you done with him?

Where's Barnabas?

Why don't you try a guess?

I should have known he left you here.

Very interesting antique here, Mr. Collins.

Ever seen it before?

You've k*lled him.

You really have a one track mind, don't you?

If you'll excuse me.

You're not going anywhere,

until you tell me where he's at.

I don't have to tell you anything.

Oh, yes you do.

[dramatic music]

Alright, Mr. Collins, you b*at me once.

But you won't this time.

Now you let go of me,

unless you want your friend to find your body here.

[ominous music]

Alright, Mr. Collins.

You'll get your chance again.

We'll meet again.

[dramatic music]

You say he stopped the fight saying,

"And then your friend will find your body?"

That has to mean that he did not k*ll Barnabas.

[dramatic music]

I know what he's done. Oh.

A vampire?

That was their thr*at.

We told you that.

Oh, Quentin.

[lightly sobbing]

Julia.

Now, listen.

I know how you feel.

But don't give in to panic, yet.

Listen, you and I have got to find Barnabas.

Where?

Did he, did he tell you where

he was gonna go to destroy the box?

No.

I have this crazy feeling that it was,

it was some mystic place that had meaning

for the Leviathans.

The cairn.

The cairn in the woods.

The place with large stones that only a Leviathan can see,

Barnabas saw it first on his way from Collinwood to here.

He, he must be somewhere in the woods, Quentin.

We don't know that.

Now listen, you stay here.

There may be trouble, I'll go look.

No, no, whatever's happened, Barnabas needs both of us.

Come.

[ominous music]

Maggie's room.

I'll go there and wait till she's asleep.

No.

They've turned me into this animal again,

and I will not harm Maggie.

I must.

I must have blood.

They made me this way.

I must have blood.

Yes.

Maggie can be mine.

At last.

[dramatic music]

[ominous music]

Can I do this to Maggie?

One hour ago,

I would have k*lled anyone who tried to harm her.

Yes, harm her.

That is what I would be doing.

I must not, no.

[ominous music]

[eerie music]

Excuse me, I can't find anyone to ask what town this is.

Can you tell me where the antique shop is,

Todd's it's called?

I believe I can help you.

It's not far, but it's rather difficult to explain.

I suggest you go directly to the Collins Port Inn.

It's directly across from the side entrance.

If you take a left.

[ominous music]

The Naga.

WOMAN: You know it?

Very well.

I know the Todds and Jebes Hawkes.

What is he like?

Would you like to join me for a glass of wine?

I think we have a lot in common.

I don't mind if I do.

You are one of us?

I am Barnabas Collins.

I'm Nel Gunsten.

We've been eagerly looking forward

to the others' arrivals.

We knew that many would be coming.

Where are you from, my dear?

Virginia.

You haven't said what he's like.

Jebes, our leader.

You'll find out soon enough.

You don't know what my life was like before.

Just getting up and going to work

and listening to Mama and Papa,

and wanting to get out so bad.

Only afraid to.

Before, yes.

But not now.

In Richmond, I met this man named Bruno.

He told me all about it.

And he gave me this.

Everything's been different since I met Bruno.

I can't wait to meet our leader and to serve him.

[ominous music]

BARNABAS: He'll be very pleased to hear that, I'm sure.

Barnabas.

Good evening, Julia.

We were very worried about you.

Oh?

Yes, Barnabas.

Well, this is not the time to discuss it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Gunsten,

this is Dr. Hoffman and Mr. Quentin Collins.

WOMAN: How do you do?

Uh, we're both very busy right now, having a discussion.

Well, would you like a drink, Julia?

-What do you want? - You see,

- JULIA:Anything. - you're going to be

excellent company.

Give us two brandies.

Quentin, did you see that locket?

Around her neck?

It's the same one as Megan wears, the Naga.

Why is he with her?

Perhaps Jeb didn't dare to do what Oberon threatened.

He looks different, Julia.

Perhaps Jeb put on some terrible spell.

Made him a Leviathan again.

Once you open the sacred box and become a true Leviathan,

our leader will make all kinds of demands on your obedience.

You will be required to steal.

NEL: I wouldn't be scared.

To go against your own friends?

Even to k*ll?

Even that.

[eerie music]

Now take me to the shop, I must see him.

But he's not at the shop now.

But I do know where he is.

If you will come with me.

I have to meet him myself.

I prefer meeting him with a gentleman

like you, than Bruno.

Bruno hasn't been around here very long.

I've been here from the beginning.

It's better with you.

You think so?

I'm not a girl that would say it, if I didn't.

They're leaving.

Didn't even stop to say goodbye.

What's happened to him, what?

[ominous music]

[suspenseful music]

Why is it so dark in here?

You said Jebes would be here.

He must be late.

Are you sure?

BARNABAS: You're not a very trusting girl, are you?

Bruno told me never to trust anyone.

I don't even know if you are one of us.

You don't wear the ring or anything.

I don't need to.

I myself, brought the sacred box of the Todds.

You can say that, but saying doesn't prove.

I don't need to prove anything.

Yes you do.

[dramatic music]

Why are you staring at me like that?

You're very attractive.

Very attractive.

I don't care if you think so.

I don't believe Jeb Hawkes is coming here.

Be patient.

Now, what did uh, Bruno tell you

that made you so fervently one of us?

Bruno told me not to talk about it to anyone.

You can tell me what he said.

Now, how did he become a Leviathan?

You ask him if you want to know.

But I prefer asking you.

A Mr. Strath brought him in.

Now, that's all I know.

BARNABAS: Is it?

Will you stop pumping me?

Just give me a drink.

You must forgive my questions,

but there are so many mysteries.

I guess there are.

And a lot of people want to know them.

Wrong people.

Wrong people, Mr. Collins.

[dramatic music]

[ominous music]

BARNABAS: Put that down.

You're not one of us.

BARNABAS: Drop it.

You're only trying to find out about us.

Do as I tell you.

You are right.

I am not one of you.

But I shall show you what I am.

[gasping]

No.

[dramatic music]

No!

As a Leviathan, you'd do anything, even try to k*ll.

Let go of me!

Let go of me, they'll get you for this, I swear!

No, they won't.

[dramatic music]

[groaning]

Quentin, if Barnabas isn't here, we'll wait here for him.

Perhaps you'd better go back to Collinwood.

Let me stay here.

No, Quentin.

Barnabas!

[dramatic music]

I had to do it.

She's dead.

She's strangled.

She had come to join them.

QUENTIN: We've got to do something with the body.

[coughing] She wanted me to take her to Jebes.

Barnabas, what has Jeb done to you?

[dramatic music]

Barnabas.

Yes, Julia.

He's turned me into,

he's turned me into--

QUENTIN: You can't go.

Barnabas, please.

They,

they found out that I'm a traitor,

so this is my punishment.

I'll start the injections, I'll go to Collinwood

and get my medical bag--

Not tonight, Julia.

JULIA: Yes, tonight.

You've got to start right away.

No!

There's one thing I must do tonight.

I must go to Jeb.

If he's going into that room in the antique shop,

he changes into his other form.

That room is the only place he can change.

And in that room, he is the most dangerous

form that ever existed.

Well, I will see that he will never change again.

Barnabas, Barnabas, please!

Should I go after him?

No.

No, you can't stop him.

Nobody can.

We have much to do here.

QUENTIN: Yes.

We have to take her to the woods and bury her.

QUENTIN: Julia.

I don't know what else to do.

I know what I'd like to do.

I'd like to take this poor girl to the antique shop

and let them find her there in the morning.

They caused her death.

Quentin.

Quentin, if we did that, they would use it against Barnabas.

He's so vulnerable now, Quentin.

Soon it will be dawn.

We must find a new hiding place for him.

You and I, we will have to protect him.

Because they will try and destroy him

during the day, I know it.

If he goes on fighting them, yes.

He will.

He will.

I'll have to get Willie Loomis to come and protect him.

Willie will have to guard him.

Julia, how are we going to win now?

How?

Now that Barnabas is unable to function during the day?

He may be unable to function,

but I think that soon, Jeb Hawkes is going to learn

that he's made the biggest mistake of his life this night.

Well, Megan, if you want to hang around

the police station all night, go right ahead.

Oh, so they're questioning Phillip again?

[laughing] Well, you sure don't trust your husband, do ya?

Well, you're right.

Yeah, if they say you can see him afterwards, wait.

Fine.

Yeah, fine.

Goodbye.

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps clicking]

[door lock snapping shut]

[heavy breathing]

[footsteps clicking]

[heavy breathing]

[suspenseful music]

[fire crackling]

May that breathing never come from any room again.

[dramatic music]
