[mysterious whistling music]

VOICEOVER:This night at Collinwood,

Carolyn Stoddard has stayed firm in her decision

to marry Jeb Hawkes, but then she has a terrifying dream,

a dream in which she heard Jeb Hawkes confess

to the m*rder of her father,

then saw him turn on her and destroy her, too.

So deeply has the dream disturbed her

that Carolyn knows she must reconsider the decision

or face a lifetime of fear.

[knocking]

Jeb, I've got to talk to you.

What's the matter?

I've changed my mind.

What?

- I can't go away with you. - Why not?

Something, something happened.

JEB: What?

Well, it's hard to explain.

You better try.

You better say something.

Carolyn, you can't just walk in here

and tell me you're not going.

You can't.

- I won't let you. - No, don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

[screaming]

[mysterious whistling music]

- No, no! - Stop running.

There's nowhere to go.

Don't you know it's too late?

What do you mean, it's too late?

You love me, no matter what your mother says,

or Barnabas or any of those people.

I didn't come here because of any of them.

I came here because of my father.

What do you mean?

Jeb, I've had another dream about you.

I don't want to hear it, Carolyn.

You've got to.

In my dream, we were getting married.

I had the feeling that my father

wanted to be at the wedding,

that he would find a way to get there.

Then, just as the ceremony was beginning,

the doors flew open.

Your father?

It was Barnabas.

He accused you of having m*rder*d my father.

You admitted it,

then you started to come after me,

just as you did a few moments ago,

and you were coming after me to destroy me.

Well, honey, but I didn't in real life.

Honey, I came after you to comfort you and hold you.

Didn't I?

Didn't I, honey?

Yes.

JEB: Well, honey, forget about those dreams.

Everyone has nightmares, but you don't run

your life by them.

But it was so vivid, so real.

Carolyn, if you love me, you're just going to forget

about dreams like that.

Don't let them disturb you.

I do love you.

I just need more time.

Why, so those people can work on you again?

Carolyn, I can't wait any more.

We've got to go away right now.

Oh, I do need time, just to think.

Okay.

Okay, I'll give you two hours to pack.

I'm not promising.

You'll go.

You'll go.

Now come on, I'll take you home,

walk you home and we can pack.

No, don't walk me anywhere.

I really do need to think.

You're much too distracting.

This the way I'm going to be for the rest of your life.

Now come on, get out of here,

before I take back these two hours I gave you.

We love each other, Carolyn.

That's all that matters.

Nothing else has happened.

Nothing else that's happened matters, not any more.

[wind gusting]

Carolyn?

Who is it?

[thunder rumbling]

Alright, alright, who's there?

Who are you?

You don't need to tell me.

I know.

It's you, Paul Stoddard, isn't it?

And you're angry.

You're angry because she wouldn't listen to you,

because she wouldn't believe you.

Well, there's nothing you can do.

It's too late.

She loves me.

Yeah, your daughter loves me, Stoddard.

As much as Victoria Winters loved me?

You!

It can't be you.

It can't be.

I'm flattered that you remember, Jebes Hawkes.

It's been a long, long time, but then you had reason

to remember Peter Bradford, didn't you?

JEB: Now I understand.

It was you who appeared when I tried to k*ll Maggie Evans.

Yes, and Willie Loomis, and I was the one who kept you

from k*lling Julia Hoffman, and I burned the book,

and I also warned David about you,

and I put the noose around Bruno's neck.

I would've put the noose around your neck

except I knew it wouldn't do any good,

because it takes a very special way to k*ll you, doesn't it?

And I know what that way is.

You can't.

I did in and I was hanged for it.

You can't.

You can't.

You were a living man, then.

You could k*ll me then, but you can't now.

You're only an illusion.

Then why are you so afraid?

Can you feel my hatred for you?

It wasn't my fault that Victoria Winters k*lled herself.

Yes, yes, it was.

You sent her over that cliff.

You sent her over the cliff at Widow's Hill,

and then I pushed you over,

and I'm going to do the same thing tonight.

You can't.

You have no flesh, no blood, no form.

Oh, I may not be the one who does it.

It may not be by my hand, but someone will,

and when you go over that cliff,

you're going to die the only way you can,

by drowning, Jebes Hawkes, by drowning.

You'll never get me to Widow's Hill.

I did in , just the way you did Vicki.

You know I was in love with Vicki.

I really loved her. People can say,

they said that they saw it.

You ended that for us,

and now I'm going to end it for you and Carolyn.

Car!

Oh, If you touch Carolyn, I'll--

What, what are you going to do?

I've waited a long time, a long, long time,

and not anything's going to keep me from destroying you.

I won't let you hurt Carolyn.

If you do anything, I swear, I'll.

[suspenseful horn music]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

JEB:Carolyn.

Jeb, what is it?

Listen, it's very important.

Don't go anywhere until I come for you.

CAROLYN:Why should I go out? I've just come in.

Look, is that clear?

Carolyn, you can't, you can't go out.

Just don't go out, no matter what happens,

even if something strange and terrifying happens.

Don't go out until I come.

What do you mean, something strange and terrifying?

JEB:I just can't tell you now, I'm sorry.

Jeb, there's so many things I don't understand.

Look, just forget about it.

Look, just believe and accept,

and for God's sake, don't go anywhere

in that house without me, until I'm there.

CAROLYN:And you'll be here in two hours?

Yeah, yeah two hours. We can synchronize our watches.

It's :, exactly. [clock chiming]

I'll be there at :, exactly.

Megan, where are you going?

What difference does it make to you?

I don't want to be alone here.

But there's something I must do.

Isn't there anything you have to do?

There's nothing, except being here with you.

Oh, that's not true.

A man as important as you are?

You can go away, you know.

I'll summon you whenever I want you.

When?

As often as will make us both happy,

and in between times, you can go wherever you want to go,

do whatever you want to do,

as long as you can keep our secret.

- Megan, please. - No.

I don't have time now.

There's someone I must talk to.

Maggie.

I must be dreaming.

No, you're not dreaming. I'm here.

How did you get in at this hour?

I made an arrangement with one of the guards.

He realized I hadn't seen you for such a long time.

PHILIP: No, you haven't, and I've needed you desperately.

Oh, I know, but I haven't been feeling well.

What's the matter?

Oh, never mind, I'm fine now.

Forget about me.

Let's talk about you.

Let's talk about a lot of things, why I'm here.

I don't understand.

They say I k*lled three people.

They even showed me a signed confession,

but I didn't k*ll anyone.

I shouldn't even be here.

You know that, don't you?

Oh, of course, of course, and that's why I've come,

to get you out of here.

When?

As soon as I can, I promise.

How did these things happen?

I don't understand.

It was the, the time and the world was open to us,

and then, all of a sudden, there were too many outsiders.

And now the world is no larger than this cell.

Oh, Megan, if we can only make them believe that.

No! No!

No, Megan, please no!

PETER:One hour, Jebes Hawkes.

Till I get Carolyn.

PETER:Until you die on Widow's Hill,

just like you did before.

You aren't reaching me, Peter Bradford.

There's nothing you can do this time.

PETER: Todd--

For God's sake, you bring a doctor to see me,

but that doesn't matter because I'm not going

to tell him anything, either.

PETER: Todd, I--

It's no use, no use.

I'm not going to tell you anything.

Not you, not anyone.

Todd, you don't have to tell me anything.

I know it all already.

You're not real.

I was.

My name was Peter Bradford.

What do you want from me?

Look, even though you are living and I'm dead,

and I know that there's centuries that separate us,

we do have one thing in common.

PHILIP: What do you mean?

We were both in love with women

who were destroyed by the same man.

Barnabas destroyed Megan, made her what she is.

No, you must understand he couldn't help it.

You have to believe that.

It doesn't matter now.

I'll get him.

I'll get them all.

But you can't do that.

Don't you see, even if they find you innocent,

they're going to think you're mad

and they're going to lock you back up in here, unless.

Unless what?

Unless you do exactly as I say,

exactly as I say, and I'll unlock that door,

and you can have your revenge on anybody you want.

[dramatic horn music]

[thunder rumbling]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

JEB:Carolyn, I'm coming right over.

Jeb, it isn't even three yet, what's the matter?

Nothing yet, but there will be if we stay.

I know it.

Carolyn, I don't care if it's not time.

Neither do I, I've made up my mind.

- I'll be ready, Jeb. - Okay.

What's happening?

I feel so strange.

I got to sit down.

There's very little time left for you, Jebes Hawkes.

Very little time, even less than you imagine,

but there is time enough.

Just time enough.

[clock chiming]

It couldn't take him this long to get here.

It just couldn't.

[phone ringing]

JEB:I'm coming right over.

Something will be the matter if we stay.

Something will be the matter.

I'm coming right over.

Don't go anywhere until I come for you.

No matter what happens, you must not leave the house.

No matter what happens.

What happened?

Carolyn, I've got to call Carolyn.

Nah, I don't have to.

It's only two o'clock.

I was out only a few minutes.

It's all right.

I can still get there in plenty of time.

There's no need for you to bother.

What are you talking about?

PETER: Carolyn isn't at Collinwood.

Where is she, then?

Where was Victoria Winters when she died?

No, no. I'm not falling for that, Bradford.

I'm not going to Widow's Hill.

I'm going to Collinwood, where Carolyn is waiting for me.

PETER: I'm telling you, she isn't there.

She is, because I warned her,

because she promised me!

Now people break promises.

You know all about that, don't you, Jebes Hawkes?

Get out of my way!

No matter what happens, you must not leave the house.

No matter what happens.

No matter what happens.

You must not.

You must not.

I must.

I must.

Jeb, I'm afraid for you.

JEB:Something strange and frightening,

strange and frightening,

strange and frightening.

I'll take the back path,

that way if someone is waiting for me, I can get by them.

It'll be all right.

It's got to be.

Carolyn!

Carolyn, are you here?

Carolyn!

Jeb?

Jeb, where are?

Where is she?

PETER:Where was Victoria Winters when she died?

I don't believe you.

PETER:I've waited a long time, Jebes Hawkes,

a long, long time.

I'll do anything to destroy you, anything, anything.

[wind whistling]

Carolyn!

Carolyn, where are you?

She isn't here.

PHILIP: But I'm here.

Philip, what are you doing here?

Waiting for you.

He told me you'd be here when he let me out of jail.

Out of jail.

No use running, Jeb.

Won't do any good any more.

Tonight you're going to stay here.

[grunting]

Tonight you're going to drown.
