981 - March 29, 1970

[bunniefuu]

[eerie music]

VOICEOVER:A night of tragedy

in the great estate of Collinwood,

where Jeb has died, and Barnabas has revenged his death.

Barnabas, still facing his overwhelming lust for blood,

turns to the one sanctuary he can find,

the mysterious room in the East Wing,

and the promise of parallel time.

BARNABAS:Why do I feel I belong in that other time?

Is it because of this?

Because my life was so different in that time?

VOICEOVER:Barnabas.

Barnabas, please, I must talk to you.

Julia.

She shouldn't have followed me.

Julia go back...

[tense music]

What's happened?

What's happened?

Julia?

Barnabas.

BARNABAS: Julia, can you hear me?

Yes, Barnabas, I can...

BARNABAS: Julia, can you hear me?

He can't hear me.

He's in that room and he can't hear me.

He may be trapped in there forever.

How did it happen?

Why did this room suddenly appear?

And what am I going to do now?

Who are you,

and what are you doing in this room?

[tense music]

[eerie music]

Carolyn.

How do you know my name?

I am Barnabas Collins.

[laughs] Are you?

You've been dead for years, so well I know that.

I am his descendant.

There's a portrait of him in the great hall.

There's no portrait of any man

who looks like you in the great hall or anywhere.

Before you leave the room, look.

Where did you get that?

In the hall, beyond that door.

I don't believe you.

Will looked in the hall.

Why are you in this room?

Why have I never even heard of you?

There's a sketch of my ancestor in this book.

You will see the resemblance.

You're not answering my question.

Does Julia Hoffman know you're here?

No one does.

Well someone will shortly, that's for sure.

BARNABAS: Please, let me explain.

Don't, don't, don't come near me.

I don't trust you.

Stay away from me.

BARNABAS: Please, don't.

CAROLYN: Julia!

Not yet, Carolyn, not yet.

[Carolyn screams]

[tense music]

There's no use of my being anything

but honest with you, Julia.

I keep looking for a check and it's not here.

It's most embarrassing.

I know it must be, Mrs. Stoddard.

When Quentin was here,

Roger and I always got our monthly checks on time.

I'm sure Chris just overlooked it.

Chris knows our position.

It's almost as if he's trying to insult us.

I'll talk to Chris myself.

Would you really?

That would be most kind.

It's a nuisance, money.

I felt that way even when I had plenty of it.

I guess that's why I let Roger manage it for me.

[phone rings]

There's no doubt that our side of the family

has no financial sense.

Hello?

VOICEOVER:Ms. Hoffman.

Oh, Mr. Collins, welcome back to America.

Thank you.

We'll be arriving at Collinwood tonight.

JULIA:Everything will be ready,

Mr. Collins, will you be here in time for dinner?

No, for supper though.

We won't be eating on the plane.

As you wish, Mr. Collins.

QUENTIN:Just for two, I think.

It will be good to have you back at Collinwood.

Thank you.

We'll see you around .

Yes, Mr. Collins.

See you around .

And have a safe flight, goodbye.

-They're coming tonight? -Yes.

I suppose everything will be changed.

I knew her father,

he was a painter, you know?

He lived in the village,

moved away years ago.

There were two little girls.

It will be odd having one of them

come back as Quentin's wife.

Yes.

I've been worried about Quentin,

ever since Angelique died.

You needn't have worried.

ELIZABETH: I do hope he's going to be very happy at last.

He was happy.

Happier than he will ever be again.

He had everything.

Did he tell you what room he wanted?

No.

No, I'll take care of it.

I'm sorry, but it was necessary.

I will need your help.

I will help you.

We must find a hiding place, with a coffin.

Do you live in this house?

No, in the old house.

We call it Loomis House now.

BARNABAS: There is a room in the basement.

CAROLYN: There are many.

One in particular.

Is your husband an inquisitive man?

Is he inquisitive, yes.

Will he find you if I hide you at Loomis House, no.

I can tell him you rented a bedroom,

we've talked about renting rooms.

We're not rich, as others are.

[door slams]

Julia, hide.

You again, Mrs. Loomis.

I do seem to be making a habit of coming here.

This time you've brought someone with you.

No.

I heard voices, Mrs. Loomis.

Who is here?

[tense music]

You can't have heard voices, I'm here alone.

Then what are you doing here?

I...

I came to find the book.

Mrs. Loomis, we've gone all through this before.

But this time I've found it.

You see?

Where was it?

CAROLYN: In the hall, under a chair.

But I thought you'd looked there before.

I must have missed it.

Mrs. Loomis, what's wrong?

Nothing, I'm sorry,

I just feel a little lightheaded,

it must be finding the book.

You have no idea how important it is to us.

The publisher will turn decide to reprint it.

Ms. Hoffman, if you don't mind,

I'll sit here for a few moments.

Even when she was alive,

I was allowed to sit in this room.

If you'll excuse me for a moment, Mrs. Loomis,

I'm going to open up the suite down the hall.

Mr. Collins is arriving tonight.

With his bride.

Yes.

I'll look in on you when I finish.

That won't be necessary.

I'm sorry.

I'll be all right.

But I must go, Julia will be coming back soon.

What are you doing?

No one will know, realize it's the same copy,

once I take the inscription out.

There will be fewer questions.

I know you don't understand, but don't try.

Tell me,

who is Quentin Collins married to?

A girl none of us know.

She lived in the village as a child.

Her name is Maggie Evans.

[tense music]

Quentin.

Quentin, you used to sit this way in London,

when I first met you.

So far away in thought that I was afraid to talk to you.

As if you were thinking about things

I couldn't possibly understand.

You know you haven't spoken since you called Collinwood?

Maybe we should have stayed away longer.

But you were the one who wanted to come back.

I made a mistake.

Why?

Why do you hate going back to that house so much?

I didn't say I hated it.

But you obviously do.

It's Angelique, isn't it?

Oh, Quentin,

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her.

It's me, isn't it?

I'm the reason why you're wondering about going back.

Well I'm not as inefficient as I look.

I'll be very good at managing a house.

You don't have to worry about that.

Ms. Hoffman's very good at that.

Oh.

Then what is it?

Oh, Quentin, please love me.

I do love you, Maggie.

I do.

I know you do.

You must never forget that.

Never ever forget.

Quentin.

If you don't want to go to Collinwood tonight,

then we can stay here in Boston

and go to that concert, and then tomorrow...

No.

We leave tonight.

How did you even know this room was here?

Didn't you?

No!

Then the chances are your husband won't either.

I know he doesn't.

Good.

Then this will be the room.

We must find a coffin.

Barnabas, why don't you tell me?

Why I know so much?

Can you imagine another band of time,

running parallel to your own?

We live in them both,

but they are different,

because we have made different choices.

You see, I came to this time hoping desperately

to escape what I am.

And I failed.

[laughs] What choice did I ever have?

BARNABAS: In that time, you are an heiress to Collinwood.

Oh, I should like that time.

No, you wouldn't, because today, you see,

your husband was k*lled.

Well, maybe I would mind that less than you think.

BARNABAS: Not Will, the man's name is Jeb Hawkes.

But I know no one by that name.

I don't understand it.

In the time I come from,

Julia Hoffman is a doctor.

Perhaps she's happier then.

Maybe she was.

But how did she happen to come to Collinwood?

With Angelique, of course.

BARNABAS: They were friends?

Well, it's hard to tell who was in charge of the other.

What do people actually know about Angelique?

Well, everything.

She always wanted to marry Quentin.

Always, since she was a child.

BARNABAS: She lived here as a child?

Yes, her father raised her, Tim Stokes.

Stokes.

CAROLYN: She outgrew him, once she became a Collins.

It's all so similar, and yet so different.

You meant what you said,

about the band of time, didn't you?

Yes.

I don't want to think about that.

Come, we have much to do before dawn.

We must go to the cemetery,

you can tell me more on the way.

Oh, did you like Angelique?

You don't have a right to know everything.

You've just answered my question.

Come.

So he is coming back.

And bringing her with him.

Even he must know that there can only ever be

one mistress of Collinwood.

[tense music]

Quentin.

You don't know how often when I was small,

I used to dream about coming to this house.

I thought you had to be a grown up to be invited here.

Well, it's all yours.

Mine?

Oh, Quentin.

I'm not sure he'll want supper here.

He always did.

Angelique always did.

Did you order all her favorites?

He asked me to make all the decisions.

[clears throat] You're forgetting something.

Why is it that I always remember

the little traditional things and you forget?

QUENTIN: What?

You're supposed to sweep me off my feet,

and carry me across the threshold.

[both laugh]

QUENTIN: You are very young, aren't you?

Too young?

-Never! -Oh!

-Whoa! -Oh, Quentin.

Welcome, welcome.

How romantic.

This is my wife.

Darling, this is my cousin, Elizabeth Stoddard.

Hello, Mrs. Stoddard.

ELIZABETH: Please, call me Elizabeth.

We're happy to have a new member in the family.

MAGGIE: Thank you.

QUENTIN: Ms. Hoffman, how are you?

Welcome back, Mr. Collins.

Darling, this is Julia Hoffman.

She'll take care of you a hundred times each day.

Hello, Ms. Hoffman.

I have supper waiting,

but if you'd rather go up to your rooms first.

No, no, I'd rather eat now.

Come on.

I took the liberty of setting the table by the fire.

Now why the devil did you do that?

Well, I thought Mrs. Collins would prefer it.

MAGGIE: Darling, what's wrong.

Nothing.

It's all right.

This time.

ELIZABETH: I'm sure you'd both like to be alone,

so I'll go up and tend to my letters.

We must have a long chat tomorrow.

Yes, please.

Oh it's even more than I imagined it.

Oh, Quentin, you can't imagine how happy I am.

Will there be anything else, Mr. Collins?

Crab meat, I adore it.

Champagne.

Oh...

Did you do this deliberately?

Oh I love it, darling.

Now stay out of this.

Now, Ms. Hoffman.

JULIA: If I've done something wrong...

How dare you, woman.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh yes, you do.

MAGGIE: Quentin?

[door slams]

I'm afraid coming back to Collinwood

has upset Mr. Collins very much.

Quentin?

[clock chimes]

Where is he?

Why did he leave?

[tense music]

You are not wanted here.

Now or ever, Angelique.

It can't be!

She's dead!

[tense music]

[eerie music]
