606 - October 20, 1968

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:The great house of Collinwood is silent.

And its residents sleep peacefully,

unaware of the dangers that exist elsewhere.

In a strange, isolated house by the sea,

Barnabas Collins is risking his life

to destroy an evil woman named Eve.

He does not know he is approaching

the greatest moment of terror he has ever known.

WOMAN: Hello, Barnabas.

Angelique!

It isn't possible!

Oh, you thought you were rid of me, didn't you?

Well, you were wrong.

BARNABAS: But you were gone!

That's right.

Nicholas Blair destroyed you!

And he allowed me to live again.

No!

Frightened, aren't you?

Oh, I like seeing that expression in your face.

I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Get away from me!

ANGELIQUE: Aren't you curious to know why I'm alive?

How Nicholas allowed me to live?

I...

This is what I am.

This is what Nicholas has made me.

BARNABAS: No.

No.

No.

Barnabas, open your eyes.

Look at me.

Angelique?

Yes, it's Angelique.

Your bride, the only bride you'll ever have.

I will never be rid of you, will I?

ANGELIQUE: Never.

As long as I live, you'll exist to torment me.

ANGELIQUE: That's right, you'll never escape me now.

I thought I finally had.

I should have known better.

Now you're mine.

You're mine.

You'll never belong to anyone else.

You know how much I hate you.

It doesn't matter.

Your hatred for me could never be as strong

as mine is for you.

You...

you loved me once.

It's hard to believe now.

If only you had accepted my love.

I couldn't.

No.

You wanted your precious Josette.

Well, you lost her.

- Because of you. - Yes.

And now, at last, I can teach you to want me.

What are you planning to do?

Don't you know?

You're...

you're going to make me revert to what I was?

Possibly.

And there's nothing I can do to stop it?

No, nothing.

I hate being what I am.

One thing about it pleases me.

You and what I can do with you.

Look at me, Barnabas.

Now look at me.

Ah, you're beginning to need me already, aren't you?

- I... - Yes, you are, I can tell.

And each time we're together, you will need me more.

I... I've got to get away from you.

I've got to get out of here.

- No, no, not yet! - I've...

I've got to get away from you!

I've got to. I've got to.

[BARNABAS CRYING]

BARNABAS: I've got to get out of here.

I've got to find a way of escaping her.

I've got to!

Oh, no!

I told you I wasn't ready for you to go.

Did you really think you could escape me that easily?

People are waiting for me.

Yes, I know.

I've been... I've been gone a long time.

If I'm gone any longer,

you know how suspicious they'll be.

Let them be suspicious.

It doesn't matter to me.

[WIND HOWLING]

More sherry?

No, thank you, it's getting quite late,

- I really should be going. - Oh, please don't.

Mr. Collins will be very disappointed if you leave

before he comes back.

I wonder what's keeping him.

Yes, so do I.

He must have decided that he should stay with Mrs. Stoddard.

Yes, he must have, otherwise, knowing Mr. Collins,

he'd never keep guests waiting.

Is Mrs. Stoddard really that ill?

Well, she's very disturbed.

Apparently.

Her rational moments come and go.

Sometimes she seems completely normal, and then...

I do feel so sorry for her.

Tonight she seemed terribly upset.

She kept calling for Barnabas,

as if he were the only person in the world

that could comfort her.

That's why I felt that it was important that he be with her.

And of course, it's impossible to guess

how long he will be with her.

Well, I did give her a sedative.

She should be asleep soon, if she isn't already.

Barnabas should be here before long.

[CLOCK CHIMING]

[SCOFFS]

Forgive me for saying so, Dr. Hoffman,

but you seem rather nervous.

It's because of Mrs. Stoddard.

It's understandable.

A doctor unable to help a patient?

It must be very frustrating.

JULIA: Yes, it is.

Well, everyone would like to help Mrs. Stoddard,

but no one seems to be able to,

so you shouldn't feel guilty about it.

Well, I don't, really, I just wish I could do more for her.

Well, I'm sure everyone feels the same way.

Well, that's true.

[SIGHS] Well, I really must get going.

Oh, no, don't.

I would like to stay and say good night to Mr. Collins,

but it would appear that he's going to be at Collinwood

most of the night, and I must get home.

Mr. Blair, I had hoped we could discuss your house.

- My house? - Yes.

I find the architecture of that house fascinating.

When I came here this evening,

I was hoping we could talk about it.

Well, I'd be delighted to have a long talk with you

about my house, professor, but some other time.

I really must go now, it's quite late,

I'm very tired, I'm sure you understand.

Of course.

Please give my thanks to Mr. Collins.

Tell him that I had a most interesting evening.

We will.

- Good night, Dr. Hoffman. - Good night.

Professor Stokes, it's been a pleasure.

Good night, Mr. Blair.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Professor, if Barnabas is still in that house,

and Nicholas Blair finds him there,

what will happen?

What are we going to do?

♪ [DRAMATIC NOTE]

Answer my question, professor, what are we going to do?

The answer is... nothing.

We can't just wait.

We must, we have no other choice.

We have to warn Barnabas.

Be rational, you know that's impossible!

You know we can't get there before Blair does.

Have you considered the other possibility?

JULIA: What possibility?

That Barnabas has left the house by now.

Nicholas Blair need never know he was there.

I suppose it's possible,

but why has he been gone so long?

I don't know.

He knew it was dangerous,

he knew that he could run into Adam there.

And that Eve might not be sleeping.

He knew what the risks were, and he decided to take them.

He made his choice.

Something's happened to him.

You don't know that, Julia, and neither do I.

- He's dead. - Julia!

He's dead, I know it!

Adam found him and k*lled him!

Julia, this is no time to panic!

I'm trying not to, but if he isn't dead,

then something else must have happened to him.

Something terrible.

ANGELIQUE: You will come to me whenever I call you.

You are mine now.

BARNABAS: I should never have come here.

How I wish I hadn't.

You underestimated Nicholas.

Why, the moment he got your invitation,

he knew what you had in mind.

He knew that you wanted to get inside this house,

and so he decided to let you.

- And so I walked into a trap. - Yes.

I'm really rather surprised at you, Barnabas,

I thought you had more intelligence.

I...

I... I've got to leave now.

Please.

Say that again.

How I enjoy hearing you plead with me.

Hoffman and Stokes, they'll be waiting for me,

they'll be wondering why I'm so long.

Yes, I suppose they will.

What... What can I tell them?

Tell them anything.

Tell them the truth.

BARNABAS: I can't do that.

What am I going to say?

I'll leave that up to you.

BARNABAS: They'll... They'll be suspicious.

ANGELIQUE: We must end their suspicions.

Yes, but that won't be easy.

Listen, Barnabas.

Professor Stokes and Julia Hoffman

already suspect too much.

You must put an end to their suspicions.

And I'm sure you'll find a way.

You may leave me now.

Temporarily.

Remember, Barnabas.

Julia Hoffman and Professor Stokes

must not suspect anything, do you understand?

Yes.

I release you, you may go.

[DOOR OPENS]

Nicholas.

Well, I can see by the expression on your face

that our little plan was successful.

Why, of course, it was.

NICHOLAS: You told Barnabas Collins everything

I told you to tell him?

- I obeyed all of your orders, Nicholas. - Good.

Barnabas Collins is completely in our control now.

He will do everything we want him to do.

Tell me, my dear, are you happy now?

I've never been happier.

And are you grateful to me for giving you

what you've wanted for so long?

Very grateful.

Well, don't be too grateful.

Why, what do you mean?

I mean, that you can see Barnabas occasionally,

but only occasionally.

What do you mean by "occasionally"?

I mean that I shall determine when you see him.

You will not see him unless I say you can,

- do you understand? - Nicholas...

Do you understand?

Yes.

Now I know that you will be tempted to call him,

but you will withstand the temptation

until I tell you to summon him.

Very well, Nicholas.

[LAUGHS] You're agreeing awfully quickly.

I don't believe I trust you.

Don't you?

I know what goes on in that crafty little mind of yours,

you want to make Barnabas what you are.

Yes, I do want that, I'll admit that.

But...

Go on.

I know I can't disobey you.

Well you have too much power over me.

Well, now, you've disobeyed me before

with far less provocation.

But you've threatened to destroy me.

I know you'll carry out your threat if I don't do as you say.

That's right, I will.

Therefore, I must obey you whether I want to or not.

You say that so easily.

I wonder if you mean it.

I can only say that I do.

Nicholas, I'm weary of this conversation.

- Must we continue it? - Not if we understand each other.

- We do. - Good!

That will be my only warning.

Remember that.

I'll remember.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Barnabas.

BARNABAS: Yes?

You're all right?

Yes, I'm all right.

What happened?

- Nothing. - Nothing?

Our entire plan, it, it was a failure.

Why?

Well, I, I got into Blair's house,

I found the room where Eve was supposed to be sleeping,

but she wasn't there,

and I searched the entire house,

but it was, but it was empty.

STOKES: Are you certain?

Of course I am,

I, I wouldn't have left if I had thought

that there was a chance she might be there.

Barnabas, this doesn't make any sense.

BARNABAS: Why not?

Well, because we were so certain that Eve was in that house,

we had proof.

Well, she may have been there.

Adam may have been there, but there was no indication

of their having been there while I was there.

Well, where else could they possibly be?

I don't know, Julia.

I don't know, I wish I did.

Did Blair see you leave the house?

No.

He left here only about ten minutes ago.

We tried to delay him, but we couldn't.

We were so afraid that he would find you.

Well, he didn't,

I was very careful not to disturb anything.

He will never know I was there.

Barnabas, why were you gone so long?

Well, I, I was searching the house,

and even the grounds around the house.

And you found no sign of Adam or Eve, none at all?

There was no evidence of either of them having been there.

Barnabas, I can't believe that this has happened.

Well, it has, Julia.

- But, Barnabas... - I don't want too talk, Julia, I'm exhausted.

You look rather strange.

BARNABAS: Do I?

- Yes, what's the matter? - Nothing.

Are you sure?

Julia, I thought this nightmare would be over tonight,

but it isn't, and I don't know what to do next,

so naturally, I'm afraid and worried!

JULIA: But, Barnabas...

Please, Julia, I'm exhausted, now can't we talk tomorrow?

JULIA: All right.

STOKES: Come, I'll take you back to Collinwood.

Good night.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I'm worried.

Why?

The way he looked, the way he was behaving.

Something about him bothers me.

Julia, you've done enough worrying for one night.

Yes, you're right, shall we go?

[DOG HOWLING]

BARNABAS:I've got to find a way of escaping her.

But how?

I know, I know what's happening.

I know.

ANGELIQUE: Barnabas?

BARNABAS: You.

I know what you were thinking.

But you'll never find a way to escape me, never!

BARNABAS: Did Nicholas send you here?

Nicholas doesn't know I'm here.

And he's not going to know,

because you're not going to tell him.

Haven't you done enough to me tonight?

Can't you leave me alone?

ANGELIQUE: I'll never leave you alone,

until you're mine, completely mine.

Don't.

Please.
