NARRATOR:Time passes at Collinwood,

and life goes on.

But only from moment to moment,

its fate dependent upon the frightening game

of life or death,

being played out in the Old House on the Collin's estate.

There on this night,

a bizarre experiment is about to be performed.

Barnabas. Barnabas.

Barnabas, come here and watch this scope.

Watch those sine waves.

If they start to collapse, let me know,

it will mean that Carolyn's in danger.

[CRYING]

They're beginning to change.

[BUZZING]

[SCREAMING]

[BUZZING] Adam! Adam!

BARNABAS: What are you doing?

She called me!

Well get away from her, you can't help her now.

Look at her, she isn't breathing!

Get back! Now let Julia handle this.

Or you may really have something to be afraid of.

- Why is it taking so long? - I don't know.

What does the scope read?

The waves are leveling off.

Keep watching it.

Barnabas, her breathing is becoming very weak.

How weak?

Well, if the mate doesn't come to life in the next seconds,

Carolyn will die.

[ERRIE THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

I don't understand.

If the life force is being drained out of Carolyn,

it should be going out into the other body.

It is.

Well, then why isn't it showing some sign of life?

I don't know.

- Julia, turn off the equipment. - What?

I said turn out the equipment, we can't let Carolyn die,

now do as I say.

Why did you stop, doctor?

BARNABAS: Adam, we are proceeding

as we did the first time.

I asked Doctor Hoffman, I want her to answer.

Well, there's nothing to worry about, Adam.

I simply have to check the bodily functions.

Why are they both so still?

Adam, please. I've got to concentrate.

Can't you answer a simple question?

Adam, wait until she's finished.

All right, I will.

BARNABAS: What's that for?

Maybe the only way to revive her.

What are you doing to her?

Adam, she's lost consciousness.

I'm doing the only thing I can to be sure that she wakes up.

Well, how long will it take?

She should be showing the effects now.

Well, she isn't.

Her pulse beat is decreasing.

It can't do that.

I don't understand it, she should've started recovery

the moment the equipment was turned off.

Something is wrong, tell me what it is,

why are you doing that, Doctor?

It isn't over, the other one isn't alive yet.

Barnabas, there's no point in stalling him anymore.

He's got to know.

Know what? What, Barnabas?

Adam, we had to stop because,

well, the experiment wasn't going as it should have.

You mean it's over, and you failed!

No, we haven't failed.

Then why did you have to stop?

BARNABAS: Because what went wrong has put Carolyn

in some sort of danger.

I told you!

I told you something would happen to Carolyn,

but you wouldn't listen!

Nothing has happened to her yet.

But look at her, she isn't breathing.

She is breathing.

It's very faint, but she is breathing.

You almost k*lled her.

She is still alive, Adam, and I will do everything I can

so that she will recover.

She can't stay here, I want her taken out.

You what?

I will take her upstairs.

You can't do that Adam, she's got to stay here,

she must lie quietly.

Any disturbance will be very bad for her!

She will lie quietly upstairs, where she will be warm.

Adam.

Now you must listen.

You are not a doctor.

Now, Julia is. We must do what she wants.

No.

I am through listening to both of you.

You must leave her alone!

No, Barnabas.

You told me she wouldn't be in danger, but she is.

Now you want me to keep her in danger, no!

I am going to take her out of here.

I'm going to take her upstairs,

and she will never come back to this room again!

Now get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Barnabas, do as he says, for her sake.

I told you he shouldn't have been allowed in the lab.

We had no choice.

He simply won't listen to reason.

He seemed to show no concern at all for the mate.

Well, he will when he knows that Carolyn's all right.

She will be all right, won't she?

I don't know.

Well, you must, you examined her.

Barnabas, we're talking about something unique.

I don't know any way of finding out

all the effects of the experiment.

Carolyn's reacted completely differently from you.

Julia, is there a possibility that Carolyn will die?

Yes.

Well, what are her chances?

If she stays unconscious, Barnabas,

her chances are very slim.

Well then, you must go upstairs,

do anything you have to do, but save her.

Barnabas, if the injection I gave her did not work,

there's nothing else I can do at the moment.

Then just go upstairs and be with her,

but she must stay alive!

If she dies,

well, there'll be no stopping Adam.

He will turn Collinwood into a bloodbath.

Carolyn, don't be afraid, you're not in that room anymore.

I brought you upstairs, you'll be safe here.

Carolyn, I'll stay with you.

They won't hurt you anymore.

[GROANING]

Carolyn, can you hear me?

You're going to be all right.

Adam?

I won't leave you, don't be afraid.

Where am I?

Upstairs, I brought you upstairs.

What happened?

The experiment.

The experiment...

Yes, I remember now.

Carolyn, I should never have let you go with it.

What happened?

I had to stop it.

Something was happening to you.

Then...

Then it didn't work.

And you don't have your mate.

Carolyn, I don't care about anyone,

as long as you're alive, I'm happy.

- [GROANING] - What's wrong?

I don't know.

A sharp pain.

- I'll get Doctor Hoffman. - No!

No, don't leave me. I don't want to be alone.

Carolyn?

The pain.

It's not so bad now.

They're going to start the experiment.

No, they won't do it, Carolyn.

I...

You'll be all right.

I was alone.

Somewhere.

In a room.

A cold, empty room.

No way out.

I cried out for someone, no one could hear me.

And then...

Then the walls began to crack.

Big cracks, all around.

And the walls fell down.

What are you saying, I don't understand.

The walls fell down, and disappeared.

Outside, there was a fog.

I couldn't see anything.

The fog was so thick.

I was frightened.

I tried to run, but I couldn't move.

Then I saw something in the fog.

Hazy forms, floating in the air.

They began to take shape.

A collection of dead things,

disconnected,

coming toward me,

wanting something from me.

Wanting life.

My life!

They wanted to take my life from me!

But they didn't, and I won't let them do it.

- No, you can't stop them! - I have already.

No, no, I felt it in that room.

- Carolyn, don't say that. - I felt life being drawn out of me.

Don't say those things.

[GROANING]

The pain. It's coming back.

Please, let me get Doctor Hoffman.

No. It's too late.

No it's not, she can do something for you!

The pain won't stop this time,

until it's all over.

Carolyn, I won't let it happen.

You can't stop it.

Nobody can.

- I must go to Collinwood. - No, don't try and get up.

I want to tell them to take care of you.

I don't want anyone. I only want you.

I'm so cold. I'm so cold.

Adam... Adam...

Carolyn?

Carolyn?

Adam, what's happened?

She was awake.

Awake?

Yes.

We talked to each other.

I told her she'd be all right.

I was wrong, wasn't I?

Adam.

Adam, put her down and let me examine her.

No, wait...

She's dead.

Dead?

Carolyn. Dead?

Adam.

Don't say anything more to me.

Don't say anything.

Adam. Adam, where are you going?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Why aren't you upstairs with Carolyn?

What do you want down here?

Answer me, will you?

Carolyn is dead.

Dead?

Oh my God.

You k*lled her.

You and Doctor Hoffman.

That isn't true.

Yes, it is.

And you will pay for it.

You will pay, Barnabas.

You think no one else will miss her,

only you, because you think it is your loss.

Well, it isn't.

She is part of me, not you.

She is one of my family,

and I feel as deeply about her as you think you do!

You were the one who wanted her as a life force.

If anyone k*lled her, it was you.

I told you what I was going to do,

if anything happened to Carolyn.

First, Vicki.

Then everyone in your family.

No!

Adam?

Adam!

Barnabas, Barnabas, what do we do?

He's insane.

I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen.

He's going to go through with his threat,

he's on his way to Collinwood now.

No!

We have to go after him, and find a way to stop--

Barnabas...

Barnabas, come into the drawing room.

Somehow we've got to warn them at Collinwood.

Barnabas, you'd never make it.

You'll never make it to the front door.

Barnabas, I could go to Collinwood.

No, I can't just sit here, I must go.

No.

No, you won't make it, Barnabas.

Please, I won't let you go.

You were stopped before, you remember, in the woods.

I have to do it.

No, Barnabas wait, I have some medication in my bag.

Well, go get it quickly.

It's upstairs with Carolyn.

I'll be right back, but you sit quietly.

Hurry.
