♪ [EERIE MUSIC]

[NARRATOR]On this night, a horrible memory

has mysteriously been erased from a young woman's mind,

and Barnabas Collins no longer lives with the threat

of having the past exposed.

But, the time of terror at the old house is not over,

for the present and the future contain greater dangers

than were ever known in the past.

No. No, I can't believe it.

Maggie Evans escaped from the mausoleum.

Willie and I tried to find her before she got to the police,

but we failed.

You mean the police know all about you?

They should, Julia, but they don't.

I don't understand.

Nor do I.

I only know that before she found out,

somebody got to her first.

What do you mean?

Well, when we came back from the searching,

someone told us that Maggie was at home and wanted to see us.

We got there and she greeted us as though nothing had happened.

Obviously, she...

her memory of what had happened was completely gone.

But, how could that happen?

She couldn't just forget, Barnabas.

Of course she couldn't.

- But, someone could make her forget. - Who?

There is only one person who would be capable of doing that.

Nicholas Blair.

♪ [DRAMATIC NOTE]

♪ [EERIE THEME MUSIC]

Nicholas Blair? That's incredible.

Undoubtedly, Cassandra told him everything about the past.

So, if he did erase Maggie's memory,

he must have done it knowing he was helping me.

There's only one reason why he would want to help me.

Adam.

Adam?

Yes.

He knows there must be some connection

between Adam and myself.

He knows that if I am in danger, Adam is in danger.

Barnabas, if it's...

If it's Nicholas, then he must know about the experiment.

Exactly.

Barnabas, we must have some proof.

It's still too early here.

He should have been back long before this.

What good can he do now?

He may have found Adam.

No.

We'll be much better off if he didn't.

Let's just hope that what we suspect isn't true.

That Adam and his mate have left,

and gone far away from here by now.

♪ [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

[DOOR OPENING]

Adam, you never cease to puzzle me.

Why?

Well, it is barely hours

since the experiment was completed.

You got what you want and to look at you,

one would think the whole thing was a complete disaster.

I'm thinking about certain things.

What things?

Why did Professor Stokes tell me

that Eve was no good for me?

I'm sure I do not know.

He said she was evil.

Well, you've been here, with her, since last night.

- Do you think she's evil? - No.

But why does Professor Stokes think so?

You are forgetting, Adam, that Stokes has always been

against the experiment.

Like Barnabas, he didn't really want you to have a mate.

That is true.

He tried to help Barnabas.

You've got what you want now.

I wouldn't think anything more about Stokes.

Nicholas, something else is bothering me.

What?

The woman who supplied the life force, Leona,

she died in the experiment.

Why did you let her do it?

Adam, Leona Eldridge was suffering from

a very rare disease.

She had months to live, at the most.

Her life was almost over.

In the experiment, she saw an opportunity

to give life to someone else.

She must have been a very unusual person.

Yes.

I believe you could truthfully say that about her.

Then, Stokes was wrong about something else, too.

What do you mean?

The strange thing that happened after the experiment.

He said that Leona was involved.

What a strange thing? What are you talking about?

I don't know what it was.

Well, can you describe it to me?

We were standing in the old house.

The door flew open. No one came in.

The curtains were moving.

And, the candles were blown out.

I don't know what caused it.

I felt something very strange happening.

I still don't understand it.

Nicholas, do you know what it could have been?

[CHUCKLES]

I haven't the slightest idea.

If I were you, Adam,

I wouldn't think any more about it.

I can't stop thinking about it.

Adam, what's the point?

You're not going back to that house again.

You have Eve now.

You're happy with her, aren't you?

Yes, very happy.

Good.

You must begin to concentrate all your attentions on her.

You must make her happy with you.

Do you understand?

Yes. I understand, Nicholas.

♪ [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

♪ [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

Eve?

Yes?

Are you upset about anything?

No.

You haven't said much all night.

Do you feel all right?

This place bothers me. I don't like it.

Well, we won't be staying here much longer.

What do you mean?

Nicholas has promised to take us away.

Where is he planning to take us?

Somewhere where no one will bother us.

Where we can be very happy together.

Very happy together.

[SIGHS]

That is what you want, isn't it?

To be happy?

Yes.

I mean, with me.

Do you think that's a fair question?

I don't know.

After all, we barely know each other.

You were meant to be mine.

And you think of me as a piece of property,

- as something you own. - No.

A woman doesn't like to be thought of in those terms.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Adam, do you mind if we don't talk about it any more tonight?

No, of course not.

You look very tired.

Why don't you go upstairs and go to bed?

Because I don't want to leave you alone.

[SHOUTS] I want to be alone.

Can you understand that?

I want to sit here by myself for a while and...

think about things.

Goodnight, Adam.

♪ [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

Goodnight.

If you're going to tear the furniture apart,

I can get you something much more practical

than a letter opener.

- Where did you come from? - Never mind.

I think it's time that you and I had a little talk.

Yes.

I think I'll like talking to you, Nicholas.

Oh? Why?

Because you're not like he is.

- Adam? - Yes.

What's the matter with him?

I can't bear the sight of him.

He's ugly. He's boring.

He's stupid.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I don't feel that way about you.

You're different.

How am I different?

You're intelligent, exciting and charming.

You're my kind of man.

I'm very flattered.

And, I think I'm your kind of woman.

Yes, I do believe that you are.

Well?

Why don't we do something about it?

What would you suggest that we do?

We could begin by getting rid of Adam.

How?

Send him away.

But he would come back.

Would you be willing to k*ll him?

I have no future with Adam.

I could have one with you.

If he stood in the way, I'd k*ll him, yes.

[CHUCKLING] You are my kind of woman.

Evil from head to foot.

We made a very good choice, even if I do say so myself.

What are you talking about?

I am very sorry to disappoint you, my dear, but...

the only future you have,

is with the man who just went upstairs.

Why, that's ridiculous.

No.

You will learn soon enough that my function here

is to give the orders and yours is to follow.

Now, Adam believes that you were made for him,

and he is right.

Now, you'd better accept that right now.

You're insane.

I'll never accept it. I hate him.

You can hate him all you want, as long as you don't show it.

He expects you to love him

and that is exactly what you are going to do.

No, I won't.

[IN A COMMANDING TONE] I do like your spirit.

But, I will not tolerate defiance.

Now, you will either do as I say or your life will end.

Just as suddenly as it began.

Now, you think about that

while I go upstairs and get Adam.

♪ [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in, Professor.

[DOOR CLOSED]

What did you find out?

I went to the place where Adam's been hiding

for the last few months.

I was told he left there last night

and hasn't been seen since.

Then it's possible we've seen the last of him?

I wouldn't count on it.

Why not? What more do you know?

Nothing.

But, my instincts tell me not to hope for the best.

Why?

Because I remain very suspicious of the woman

who provided the life force for the experiment.

If she really was the reincarnation

of Danielle Roget--

[CHANDELIER TINKLING]

[THUNDER CRASHING]

It's beginning again.

The moment you mentioned that woman's name.

Yes, yes, I know. There must be a connection.

If there were only some way of making contact.

JULIA: The bookcase.

[BOOKS THUDDING] No, Mr. Collins, wait.

- What for? - Wait until the disturbance stops.

[COMPLETE SILENCE]

An account of the French Revolution,

written by one Phillipe Cordier.

It was originally published in .

What does that mean?

The supernatural presence that just paid us a visit

caused this to fall from the bookcase.

The name of the book's author, may be what we're looking for.

How can we find out?

If my assumption is correct,

it's possible that Phillipe Cordier

is as anxious to reach us as we are to question him.

I suggest the three of us hold a seance and find out.

♪ [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

♪ [MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

Are you all ready?

Yes.

We must place our hands flat on the table,

with fingers touching.

There must be absolute concentration

if we are to make contact.

We seek the spirit of Phillipe Cordier.

If you are in this room, Phillipe Cordier,

show us a sign.

Make your presence known to us.

We need your help as you need ours.

Yes. You are here.

Can you speak to us?

[GROANS]

- Barnabas? - Be quiet, Julia.

- [BARNABAS MOANING] - But something's happening to him.

He's going into a trance. Do nothing to disturb him.

[BARNABAS MUTTERING IN FRENCH]

Can you speak to us in English?

Yes.

PROFESSOR: Tell us who you are.

Phillipe Cordier.

PROFESSOR: We summoned you to ask a question

about a woman called Danielle Roget.

[BARNABAS SPEAKING FRENCH] Danielle, mon amour!

Danielle, mon amour!

PROFESSOR: You were in love with her?

I am in love with her.

She is mine and she has been taken away.

- Who has taken her? - Another man.

Who is he?

I do not know his name,

but he came and took her spirit away.

He stole her from me.

I am very lonely without her.

PROFESSOR: And you have come back to find her?

Oui.

Tell me, was her spirit here in this room tonight?

BARNABAS: Oui.

Is it here now?

It is gone from here.

PROFESSOR: Where has it gone?

To another house.

BARNABAS: A house by the sea.

- Nicholas Blair's house. - Julia, please.

BARNABAS: Danielle!

Danielle, I am coming for you.

We will be together again.

Wait for me. I will come for you.

No. You must tell us who lives in that house.

When I find you, I will do what I have to do.

Please. Tell us what you mean.

Danielle, I will revenge your honor.

I will k*ll the man who says he loves you.

Adam!

BARNABAS: He will die this night for what he has done to us.

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

He's gone.

PROFESSOR: No chance to learn anything more.

You should have kept silent, Julia.

We were making remarkable progress

until you disturbed him.

I... I heard all I need to.

He is... He's coming around.

What happened?

PROFESSOR: You served us well, Mr. Collins.

What do you mean?

You... You went into a trance.

And became our medium.

You mean, you actually made contact?

Indeed we did.

And our worst suspicions have been confirmed.

Leona Eldridge

is the reincarnation of Danielle Roget.

But, how is this done?

Because Blair summoned Danielle Roget from the dead,

gave her a different name and sent her here

to provide the life force for the experiment.

For what reason, I can't imagine.

Whatever it was,

you can be sure it was for some evil purpose.

Barnabas, the last thing the spirit said was

that he would go to the house by the sea and...

k*ll the person who loves her.

JULIA: That could only be Adam.

♪ [EERIE AND DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I'm glad you asked me to come downstairs.

Yes, so am I.

Eve, I know I was wrong thinking that you should love me so soon.

I'll give you time to get to know me.

What? What's the matter?

Nicholas, help me.

Something... choking me.

JULIA: Barnabas?

JULIA: Barnabas, what can we do?

What do you suggest? That we go and...

confront Nicholas?

If that's the only answer, yes.

Don't be absurd, Julia.

Neither you or I is a match for Nicholas Blair.

- [CHOKING] - Barnabas.

Julia, it's happening.

The spirit of Philippe Cordier is k*lling Adam.
