NARRATOR: The great house in Collinwood

is shrouded in darkness,

a darkness that hides unnamed terrors.

In the Old House, on another part of the Collins estate,

two people are undergoing a night of terror,

for Barnabas Collins has disappeared

and two spirits of those already dead

have risen from their graves,

spirits that can save or destroy him.

[WOMAN SOBBING]

It's coming from down here.

[WOMAN SOBBING]

There's nobody here.

It stopped.

I expected it would.

I don't like this, now let's get out of here.

- No, no wait. - What for?

I know who was sobbing.

She must have been doing it for a reason,

and the reason must have had something to do with Barnabas.

What are you talking about?

I heard the sobbing before when I was alone in the house.

I came down here,

and there, up against that wall,

- I saw a ghost. - A ghost?

A ghost of a woman,

- and she resembled the portrait of Josette Collins. - Josette?

She was grieving.

She would only grieve for one person, Barnabas.

But why, why would she choose to appear here,

- of all places? - I don't know.

She was huddled on that wall.

That wall.

Look, Adam scares me, but this scares me more.

- I'm getting out of here. - Willie.

What?

Willie, when did you brick up this wall?

- Brick up what wall? - When did you do it?

When did Barnabas tell you to do it?

I didn't brick up any wall.

- You didn't, who did? - I don't know!

- Trask. - What?

Trask said he wanted revenge.

We thought he meant revenge against Angelique,

but he might have meant Barnabas.

I don't understand a word you're saying.

Barnabas sealed Trask in that wall.

If Trask wanted revenge,

then he sealed Barnabas in that wall.

If that's true, then Barnabas is there behind that wall,

and he's been there for three days,

and he might be dead.

Willie, Willie, go, go get some tools.

We must break down the wall.

[ERRIE THEME MUSIC PLAYING] ♪♪

I hope you know what you're doing.

I do, now open up that wall.

I still don't understand.

Oh, Willie, shut up and get to work.

[METALLIC CLANKING]

Hurry, please, please hurry.

I'm going as fast as I can!

[METALLIC CLANKING]

[WILLIE GROANS]

Why are you stopping?

Ah.

Do you feel a draft?

This house is always drafty.

No, this was cold and damp.

I never felt anything like that before.

That's no reason to stop working, now go on.

[METALLIC CLANKING]

[WILLIE GASPS] [TOOL CLANKS TO THE FLOOR]

Why are you stopping now?

Something touched me.

That's impossible.

I felt a hand on my shoulder.

- It's your imagination. - I don't think so.

[CHAIR CRASHES]

Who knocked over the chair?

I don't know.

It knocked that chair over.

It didn't fall over by itself.

But who did it? There's nobody here.

[BOX CRASHES]

What's going on around here, what's happening?!

[MAN LAUGHING]

What, who's that? Who's laughing here?

[MAN LAUGHING]

TRASK: Go!

Trask.

TRASK: Go.

Leave this place and never return,

or you shall die.

No, no, no, no don't go.

Stay here, stay where you are. Now, now don't move.

Spirit, spirit of Trask,

I know that you're still here.

I know you're still in this room.

You must listen to me, listen to me.

In life, you considered yourself a man of God,

and yet you sent an innocent woman to the gallows,

and now, now you want to k*ll again.

This time, in cold blood.

You of all people must know that m*rder is a sin

in the eyes of God.

If you must destroy, destroy evil.

There is an evil presence living among us,

the witch were seeking before you died.

She has survived through time and is living at Collinwood.

She now calls herself Cassandra Collins.

If you must destroy,

destroy the one who was responsible.

Destroy Cassandra Collins. Destroy the witch.

The cold, the dampness, they're gone now.

Trask, Trask heard me,

and he knew I was right, so he left us.

Let's go back to what we were doing, Willie.

Let's break down the wall.

Willie, Willie you've got to do it.

You've got to do it, Willie.

Willie? Willie?

[METALLIC CLANKING]

The brick, the brick is coming lose.

[YELLS] It's Barnabas!

♪♪

[BRICKS THUDDING]

Move aside, let me examine him.

Can you hear anything?

Barely, I can detect a heartbeat.

- It's very slight. - Then he's still alive.

Just barely.

We've got to get him down,

and find some cot or something to lie on.

There's a cot in the next room. Get it!

[CLOCK CHIMING]

Cassandra , why are you doing this to me?

Elizabeth, what are you doing up at this hour?

Why are you doing this to me?

What am I doing?

You've made me think of death,

and I can think of nothing else.

That's why I can't sleep.

That's because of you.

I don't know what you're doing to me or why,

but you are, and you must stop, please.

You've got to stop or I'll go mad.

Elizabeth, you must calm yourself.

- I can't. - Look at me.

- No. No. - Look into my eyes.

You know that you can't resist.

Look into my eyes.

There, that's right.

Now, why don't you come over here and sit down?

Do you feel calmer now?

Yes.

Good, because you must remain calm.

What has happened to you, up until now,

has been very mild.

What is to follow will be far worse.

What is it?

Only a glass of sherry,

Naomi.

- Naomi? - Yes, that's who you are.

Don't you remember?

You're Naomi Collins.

Yes, Naomi Collins.

You're the wife of Joshua Collins.

Joshua?

Drink your sherry.

You're very kind.

I had a terrible quarrel with Joshua today.

This will calm my nerves.

I know, I understand.

Where is Joshua?

He's upstairs, I expect, sleeping.

And my children? Where are my children?

Barnabas and Sarah?

Why do you ask?

Because I have a feeling, a terrible feeling,

someone close to me is going to die,

and it's going to happen tonight.

♪♪

He moved!

Barnabas? Barnabas?

Julia.

Oh, thank heaven we got to you in time.

Dr. Hoffman figured out where you were.

That's how come I broke down the wall.

- Julia. - Don't talk, you must rest.

I must talk.

Once again, I have you to thank for saving my life.

Don't thank me, Barnabas.

I'm just so glad we got to you in time.

Trask...

Yes, he, I know, he was the one that sealed you in the wall.

- Revenge, it was his revenge. - Yeah, I know.

- We saw his ghost, Barnabas, he was right here. - Trask?

Yeah, he tried to stop me from breaking down the wall.

Then his, his spirit is not at rest.

As long as his spirit roams the earth,

I will not be safe.

He will not rest until he has his revenge.

That may be true.

He may still be seeking revenge, but not against you.

What do you mean?

Well, I reminded him

that he considered himself a man of God,

and a man of God cannot commit m*rder.

I told him that if he wanted revenge

that he was to seek out the witch and destroy her.

I believe he listened to me.

- Why? - Because after I talked to him,

it was as if his spirit left the room.

Is it true?

Is it possible that he would try to destroy Cassandra?

I believe it is.

But, is his power as strong as hers?

Will he be able to destroy her?

I don't know, I hope so.

Have some more sherry, Naomi.

You'll need it for the ordeal that lies ahead of you.

Why do you deliberately say things

you know will frighten me?

Is that what I'm doing?

Where is Joshua?

Where is my husband?

Joshua would protect me from you.

Joshua's not here, and even if he were,

he would not be able to help you.

Is it true that someone in this house is going to die tonight?

Someone is going to die, yes.

- Perhaps not tonight, but soon. - No.

Very soon.

Come, put down your sherry.

Come with me.

We are leaving Collinwood now.

Where are we going?

To the Collins mausoleum.

The mausoleum?

There is something I must show you.

What?

Your final resting place,

- your grave. - No.

- Come with me. - No, I won't.

But you must.

Please.

You must come, and you know that you must.

So come, come.

♪♪

[GATE CREAKS]

Come, enter.

No, please.

Why are you frightened?

Soon, very soon, this will be your home.

My home?

Your final resting place,

and you will rest here throughout eternity,

with the rest of your family.

My family?

Your husband, Joshua, built this place,

that you and your children could be together here after death.

You do remember that, don't you?

Joshua? My husband?

Yes, he wanted you and your children to be together,

and soon, you will join them.

Join them?

Joshua and your children are already dead.

- Dead? - Yes, only you remain.

But, soon, you will join them.

You sensed tonight that there would be a death,

and there will be.

It will be your own.

No, it isn't true. None of this is true.

- Isn't it? - My family,

Joshua and the children are still alive.

Come and look at theses plaques, Naomi.

I don't want to.

But you must.

These are the plaques commemorating the deaths

of your husband and daughter.

The dates of their deaths are inscribed in stone.

It can't be true.

Look at your plaque, Naomi.

Nothing is inscribed in stone because you haven't died yet,

but you will, soon, very soon.

[ELIZABETH SOBBING]

Why are you so frightened?

Death is inevitable, it comes to everyone.

And why should you want to go on living?

Your husband and children have already died.

They are waiting for you to join them.

No.

It isn't true, none of it's true.

I've had no husband.

I'm not Naomi Collins.

- Then who are you? - I don't know.

This must be a nightmare.

Some kind of terrible nightmare.

No, unfortunately, it isn't.

Everything that is happening is quite real, Naomi.

I am not Naomi.

Naomi Collins died centuries ago.

If that were true,

then her remains would be in this casket, wouldn't they?

Yes.

- Come and look in the casket. - No, I don't want to look.

But, you must.

And you will.

I want you to tell me what you see here.

Dirt, completely empty.

- Because it's waiting for you. - No!

- For the day of your death. - No!

- And that day is not far off. - No!

[LAUGHING]

TRASK: Witch.

[GASPS] You!

You are the witch I have been seeking,

and you must be destroyed.

Go, return to your grave.

Not until I have destroyed you,

the only way you can be destroyed, by fire.

No!

No, I command you to return to your grave.

You have no power over me.

I shall return to my grave,

only after you have been destroyed.

And your destruction is at hand.

- No. - Burn, witch.

- No! - Burn!
