633 & 634 - November 26, 1968

[bunniefuu]

- Night over the great estate of Collinwood,

a night which many feel will never end,

and when it does no one knows who will be alive

and who will not.

For one man is engaged in a frantic effort

to appease the cruelest, most evil master of all.

And to do this, he must bring a new convert,

and then with her spirit make a dead body alive.

In this house by the sea, the first ritual

starts in a small room with an altar draped in black.

- Maggie Evans, I anoint thee with the blood

of the owl, the raven, the bat.

You will dwell with me forever in the land of the dead.

You will live as I live, one of the damned.

Your spirit will join with mine.

And the legions of the damned salute you.

[theme music]

- This is the last time. Ever.

- What's the point of saying that?

- But it is, I swear.

- We're at Nicholas's mercy, Barnabas.

Poor motherless Eve.

There's a poem about that.

- It's almost midnight.

- Who will he have found to bring her to life again?

Who will he have used his powers on?

- Well, at least he won't be able to use

Tom Jennings to do it.

[footsteps]

- Good evening.

Why are my conspirators so reluctant?

Is everything ready?

- Yes.

- Well, my dear Eve, you will have another chance.

- You seem to specialize in second chances.

You took the stake from Tom Jennings' heart

and sent him to Collinwood.

- You are so tiresome, Mr. Collins.

We agreed that I would dispose of Tom Jennings and I did.

- No, I did, Mr. Blair.

And you will be unable to resurrect him again.

- You have destroyed him?

How traumatic for you.

Don't you think so, Dr. Hoffman?

Well, do you remember that not so long ago someone could have

done the same thing to you?

- I have not forgotten what I was.

- I wouldn't if I were you.

- What do you mean by that?

- We want to get the experiment over with, Mr. Blair.

Did you bring the life force?

- Yes, of course.

You are quite right, Dr. Hoffman,

we, uh, have something to accomplish here.

We should not waste our time on personality difficulties.

If you'll excuse me, I shall be right back.

- Barnabas, it will be over soon.

- If she lives, will we be able to forget what we have done?

You.

- This time it will be different, Barnabas.

This time she will be different.

- I don't want you here.

- He stays, Mr. Collins.

Come, my dear.

- Maggie!

- I have met one of your conditions, Mr. Collins.

She has volunteered of her own choice.

- Hello, Julia, Barnabas.

So this is where it is to take place?

I've been here so often and yet I never guessed.

- I won't go through with this.

- Why not, Barnabas?

- Mr, Blair, I want to talk to you alone.

- Just so you can tell him that you won't use me?

- Maggie, if you knew the risk...

- No amount of risk will change my mind.

- I told Blair to stay away from you.

- You have no right to interfere, Barnabas.

- Now, darling, don't be angry with him.

I'll settle it.

- No, you won't, Nicholas.

Barnabas, it is my life to do with what I want

and I want to do this.

- I promised Vicki.

No.

Turn off the equipment.

- Wait, doctor. - Barnabas, you--

[shouting]

- Yes, he is quite right, Adam.

As long as I am here, your threats are unnecessary.

You feel your blood racing through your body.

Fast.

Faster than it's ever gone before.

Your heart is pounding.

You feel dizzy.

You feel so dizzy you can barely stand.

Your heart pounds faster.

Faster.

- Maggie, make him stop.

Make him stop!

- Why should I?

- Because he'll k*ll them both.

- Then you stop them.

Do what he wants.

- Or we'll use her.

- Good.

Now, to avoid any further arguments, Adam, come with me.

Lie down there, Adam.

You will sleep.

The deepest sleep you have ever known and you will not

wake until I wake you.

Sleep now, Adam.

Sleep.

You see him?

Both of you?

Notice his breathing, how slight it is.

If I say three more words, he will stop breathing forever.

Just three words.

And I will say them, Mr. Collins,

if you do not do what I say.

- We have no choice, Barnabas.

I will give her an anesthetic.

- You are aware that she will be in great pain?

You know that she may die?

- You must not be afraid of anything.

I will be with you, no matter what happens.

- That's all I want.

- You will lie here.

- She's beautiful and soon she will live.

So many things I've not known until tonight.

I'm just beginning to learn.

- Yes.

- I'm ready.

- Barnabas, if you will arrange the straps.

- Will I be conscious?

- Only at first.

- But you will always be able to see me.

I will see to that.

- I know you will.

- You have done something to her.

- I have given her my love.

Are you ready to begin, Doctor?

- Yes.

Would you pull the sheet up, Barnabas?

Don't put it over her face.

We must be able to check her facial expressions.

Do you feel drowsy?

Would you count to ten for me, please?

- , , , --

- Barnabas, would you check the gauge?

- , --

- Let me know when it reaches .

You must not touch her.

It would be dangerous for both of you.

[electrical static]

[groaning]

[electrical static]

[screaming]

- I want to do this.

I want to.

- I have given her my love.

I have given her my love.

- I want to.

- I will be with you.

Whatever happens, I will be with you.

- Barnabas, the gauge.

The gauge, Barnabas, what does it read?

- It's just .

Julia!

- The level's too high.

- What shall I do?

- You check it and I'll see if I can make some adjustments.

Is it down now?

- No.

- Now?

- It's gone up.

- Barnabas--

- I'm going to die.

I'm dying.

No!

No!

- No, I won't go through with it!

No!

- Barnabas, stop it!

- You will stop!

- Barnabas!

Barnabas, he'll k*ll you!

- No!

- You cannot move!

You cannot.

You cannot move.

- No!

No!

Don't desert me now!

I can stop him!

You will stop!

I will k*ll you!

- Nicholas, why did you hurt me?

Why did you hurt me?

- Your powers, Mr. Blair?

Where are they now?

- No!

No.

You did this!

- No!

You want it this way.

Eve!

Eve! - I'm going after Blair.

- No. - It's our chance.

He has no powers. - Barnabas, he will k*ll you!

- I will k*ll him!

- No, Barnabas!

- Now, I have no one.

All my life alone.

- Maggie, can you hear me?

Maggie?

Maggie, if you can hear me, open your eyes.

Maggie, please try.

Open your eyes.

Maggie?

It's Julia.

Maggie, do you think you can get up now?

Do you?

Maggie?

Maggie, can't you hear me?

- Who are you?

Where am I?

What is this room?

I've got to get out of here.

- No, Maggie, no.

- Maggie?

You called me Maggie?

- Yes, Maggie Evans.

Don't you remember?

Don't you remember anything?

- Remember?

Remember.

- Before tonight.

- Night.

- Maggie, what's happened to you?

What?

- Why do you pretend you know me?

Maggie Evans?

- If that is not your name then what is?

Do you know another name?

Do you?

Nicholas.

You couldn't have forgotten him.

Nicholas Blair.

He brought you here.

- Brought me here?

Someone brought me here?

Why?

Where is this place?

- Come upstairs.

- No. - Yes, yes, you must.

You'll remember.

- I don't think I can.

- I'll help you.

- Barnabas.

Barnabas!

No, Nicholas hurt me.

Not Nicholas!

Barnabas.

Always Barnabas, always Barnabas!

He wants me to be alone!.

He hates me! Hates me.

He doesn't deserve to love.

- Now, this room...

You've been here so often.

- Who lives in this house?

- Barnabas Collins.

Oh, look.

The music box.

Josette's music box.

You've heard this before so often.

You must remember. Maggie.

Think. Think!

- Josette?

- Does her name mean something to you?

Her portrait will. Come.

I'll show you her portrait.

- I know no one named Josette.

- Come with me, please, Maggie.

- Where are you taking me?

Why should I remember things that I've never seen?

- You must, Maggie, you must.

- No, no, no, you must listen.

You must let me explain.

I can make it right.

I swear I can.

I'll make them do it over again.

I will have them make a new woman for Adam.

I'll force them to.

All I need is time.

Time, it means nothing to you.

A week is nothing to you.

Seven days is so small to you.

Just give seven days.

I will give you everything.

Everything that you want.

Please!

Then you can take charge of Adam and his new wife.

You can guide their destiny.

Just remember, I brought them to you.

And if you let me bring Maggie, I'll come to you.

No.

You've given me chances before.

I will not fail you this time.

I swear I won't.

Please!

It almost worked.

It will work the next time.

Please?

No, I swear it will!

No!

No!

Don't take me now!
