1006 - May 3, 1970

[bunniefuu]

[eerie music]

NARRATOR:The great estate of Collinwood as it exists

in the strange and disturbing world of parallel time,

a time in which each person follows a new destiny.

But on entering this new world,

Barnabas Collins became trapped in a chained coffin,

the prisoner of the half-mad author Will Loomis.

He is unable to follow the different fates

of those around him, he does not know of a spirit

that has haunted the great house or of the strange

supernatural ceremony that will take place

there this terrible night.

[spooky music]

Watch closely, Damian, as I light the candle.

And when the seventh one is lit, you will appear to me.

We shall be here together, face to face, you and I.

Watch now,

watch closely.

[eerie music]

[ominous music]

[waves crashing]

[eerie music]

[eerie music]

Well...

I gave you every opportunity to go away

and leave me alone, but you refused.

I did what had to be done.

You mean you let Bruno the impostor do it for you.

ANGELIQUE: Bruno loves me the way I want to be loved.

No man ever loved you like I loved you!

Stay where you are, don't come any closer!

And keep looking into my eyes.

I know you want your death revenged,

I cannot blame you for that, but I cannot allow it.

I have laid many plans here and I won't have them

upset by you or by anyone else.

DAMIAN: And I won't rest until Quentin

knows the truth about you.

Oh, yes you will.

I summoned you here and I can send you away again.

You had to appear because I used

the candles of the seven secrets.

They can bring you here because they have control

over life and they can send you away again

because they have control over death.

They can send you back to your grave forever.

I'm not a living being anymore, Angelique.

The candles have no power over me.

ANGELIQUE: Then try to move.

Try to lift your hand and snuff the candles out!

I, I,

I can't move!

No, I have a hold over you in death, too, you see.

And when the seventh candle appeared, you appeared.

When the seventh candle is snuffed out,

you will return to your tomb...

and never appear again.

No, no, you can't do it!

You can't do it!

Poor Damian, just as handsome

and charming in death as he was in life.

And every bit as meddlesome!

But not for much longer.

Goodbye, Damian.

No, Angelique, please, please!

Angelique, no, no!

[screaming]

[ominous music]

[laughing]

Now nothing stands in my way!

The house will be mine again, Quentin will be mine again

and nothing can stop me, nothing!

[gentle piano music]

Oh, you're not being very friendly, Miss Harrington.

I've work to do and you know that.

Mm-hmm, you're not just trying to avoid me, are you?

I've never seen you so dedicated to your work.

Look, I have to make a living, do you mind?

No, no, not at all, not at all,

as long as you leave me just a little time.

Maybe I'll just stand here and watch you.

You must have something better to do.

My, my, aren't we touchy this evening?

I hope you're not going around saying nasty things

about me as you did to Dr. Longworth.

BUFFIE: Will you please leave me alone and let me work?

Oh, uh oh, I've touched a nerve, haven't I?

You are soft on the good doctor, aren't you?

You're the most evil-minded man I ever met.

JOHN: And I wager you've met a few, huh?

[laughing]

You must be John Yaeger.

At your service, sir.

I'm Larry Chase, I'm Chris Collin's partner,

and as you know, Chris is Dr. Longworth's lawyer.

You're also minutes late, Mr. Chase.

LARRY: I'm a very busy man.

And you consider it beneath your dignity to deal with me?

Well, I'd like to get this over as soon as possible.

Can we use one of the tables?

By all means, Miss Harrington,

buy Mr. Chase anything he wants and put it on my account.

I don't drink when I'm discussing business,

but thanks anyhow.

I don't think we need to sit for all this,

you just need my signature, isn't that correct?

Well, I hope to get more than just your signature, Yaeger.

JOHN: What do you mean by that?

I want you to tell me why Chris is bestowing

and putting in your deposit this much money in your name.

I thought the good doctor explained all that.

LARRY: Well, he explained to me that it was part payment

for services rendered on some of his experiments.

I don't believe that.

[laughing] And I guess you think that I've got

some kind of hold over him or that I'm trying

to blackmail him, all of which I find highly amusing.

But you don't deny it.

Oh, I most emphatically deny it.

As a matter of fact, how could anyone blackmail

the good Doctor Longworth, huh?

The man is a vegetable!

He neither smokes nor drinks,

he doesn't know the meaning of adventure!

In short, the man is a cloistered bore

and how could anybody possibly blackmail a man like that?

You're not only arrogant and disgusting, Mr. Yaeger,

you're a model of ingratitude.

Dr. Longworth is being more than generous with you.

I just really say the truth as I see it.

LARRY: Well, I'm going over to see Dr. Longworth tonight

and I'm sure that he'll be very interested to learn

of what low opinion you hold of him.

I'm afraid you're going to be in for a disappointment

because Dr. Longworth and I have always

been very frank with each other.

That's why he values my services so highly.

LARRY: I don't believe that.

I'm going to see him tonight.

I don't think you'll find him in the laboratory tonight.

Well, I'll just wait until he comes and I'm sure

that when he does I'll be able to convince him

that he has no longer any need for you.

Well, by all means try, Mr. Chase,

but I don't think you're going to succeed.

Well, let me show you how confident I am.

When I'm through with Cyrus I'm sure

we'll have no more need of this.

I don't like you, Larry Chase,

and I like your holier than thou attitude even less.

And anyone that steps in John Yaeger's way better get out.

Are you threatening me?

JOHN: I'm promising you there's going to be trouble,

if you ever get in my way again.

Miss Harrington!

I'm going to see you later this evening, Miss Harrington.

Well, Gladstone, and did you see the good doctor tonight?

He isn't back in the laboratory yet.

Oh really, well, as the good doctor might say,

try, try again, if at first you don't succeed, eh Gladstone?

[ominous music]

I think I'll have that drink now.

Make it scotch on the rocks.

BUFFIE: Yes, Mr. Chase.

Uh, Miss Harrington?

You're not interested in that man, are you?

He just comes in here a lot, that's all.

What do you know about him?

BUFFIE: Nothing, Mr. Chase.

I mean, I really don't know him very well at all.

Well, he certainly knows how

to intimidate a person, doesn't he?

BUFFIE: What are you talking about?

I mean what you do know about him...

[coughs]

you just don't want to talk about it

because you're too afraid.

[sighing] Mr. Chase, it is late and

I'm about to go off duty and I cannot talk any more.

Fine.

All right, thank you.

Enough?

Goodnight.

BUFFIE: Goodnight.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

JOHN [VOICEOVER]: I don't relish the thought

of being Cyrus Longworth again,

but that lawyer must be brought into line, and soon.

[groaning]

[heavy breathing]

[dramatic music]

[ominous music]

[knocking on door]

CYRUS: I'll be right there.

Miss Harrington.

BUFFIE: May I come in?

Yes, yes, yes, come in, come in.

Well, certainly didn't expect a visit from you at this hour.

BUFFIE: You're probably much happier

if you never saw me again.

CYRUS: I don't understand what you mean.

Oh, aren't we the innocent one?

Butter wouldn't melt in our mouth.

CYRUS: [stuttering] I don't understand.

Yes, you do, why did you go to Yaeger

and tell him all those awful things about me?

[stuttering] What things?

BUFFIE: That I'd come here and made advances toward you.

You knew how mad that would make him, now why did you do it?

As a matter of fact, Miss Harrington,

[stammering] I didn't say that you came and made advances,

I didn't use that phrase at all.

Why did you have to tell him anything?

Why did you have to even tell him that I came to see you?

Well Miss Harrington, when you were here that day you left

and Mr. Yaeger saw you and he came back

and he questioned me.

Why didn't you tell him the truth,

that I came just to find out if you had signed the check?

I did, I did tell him the truth,

but Mr. Yaeger is a very suspicious person.

You don't have to tell me.

Miss Harrington, I'm sorry, if there's anything

I could do, if you'd like me to talk to Mr. Yaeger--

No! That's the one thing I don't want you to do.

One wrong word out of you and

he's liable to beat me up again!

Beat you up?

Is that what he did?

BUFFIE: Yes, I've got plenty of bruises to prove it, too.

Oh God, I,

I feel terrible.

[stammering]

I didn't know he'd get that angry.

BUFFIE: It doesn't take much for him.

You have every right to be upset with me,

every single right.

I'll do anything, anything to make up for it.

Anything at all, please.

You really are a strange one.

I wonder if I'll ever really get to know you.

CYRUS: I hope we do.

I hope so, too.

[knocking on door]

Oh, oh, I'm expecting a friend,

my, my lawyer, we had an appointment.

I'm sorry, I hate to rush you out, Miss Harrington,

but we have very urgent business.

BUFFIE: I understand, it's all right, Doctor.

See you soon.

Thank you, thank you, good bye.

BUFFIE: Bye.

[ominous music]

Cyrus, you must end your friendship

with this man Yaeger, he's dangerous!

I met him tonight as Chris told me to,

but after meeting him I must tell you

that I'm even more appalled at what you're doing.

Well did you get the signature for the bank account?

LARRY: Oh, yes, I got it, and I tore it up.

Why?

LARRY: I can't believe that you won't

listen to reason about him.

I'm in no mood to argue about this.

But Cyrus, you must explain to me,

you must be more specific as why you need Yaeger.

Certainly, there must be someone who can

replace him or do the performing services that he does,

but whatever they are.

I can only tell you that I am not

supposed to change my mind about this.

Now I want that bank account opened in his name.

And there's one more thing I want you to do.

What's that?

I want you to change my will.

In the event of my death or disappearance,

everything that belongs to me, shall go to John Yaeger.

[dramatic music]

But why are you willing to bequeath everything you own

to a man you barely know, a foul and evil man at that?

In the event of my death or disappearance.

Oh, are you anticipating

an eminent death or disappearance?

No, no, no, of course not.

Well then why take such an action at this time?

I have my reasons.

Now as my lawyer you are obliged to do as I wish,

not to disobey or question my motives.

Well, Cyrus, as an attorney, I'm not just an attorney

but I'm a friend of yours, and I must tell you

that I've become increasingly concerned about you.

And I insist that you do not.

Now, you are to take care of changing that bank account

into his name and altering my will and I insist

that you do it as soon as is humanly possible.

Very well.

I'll get busy on both matters tomorrow.

[dramatic music]

[knocking on door]

Good evening, Miss Harrington.

BUFFIE: Who are you?

I'm Horace Gladstone, do you remember my face?

I saw you earlier in your tavern.

BUFFIE: Oh yes, yes, I remember you.

Uh, what do you want?

I'd just like to talk to you for a few moments

and ask you a question or two.

Believe me, I'm quite harmless.

All right, come in.

What kind of questions do you want to ask?

You're not a cop or anything, are you?

Oh, good heavens, no.

I'm merely a very curious man.

Curious about what?

About Dr. Longworth, he is your friend, isn't he?

[ominous music] Sort of.

What do you mean, sort of?

Is he, shall we say, an admirer of yours?

Oh, I see, I get it.

You were sent here to ask me these questions, weren't you?

HORACE: Sent? By whom?

John Yaeger, I saw you talking to him at the Eagle.

He sent you here to spy on me.

Well, you can tell him from me that if he wants--

Please, please, Miss Harrington, please,

you are a much closer friend to John Yaeger than I am

to judge by what transpired at your tavern.

I don't think that's any of your business.

Look, I don't know why you've asked me all these questions,

but I think you ought to go!

Please, please, don't get upset, Miss Harrington.

If you wish, we can talk this over.

BUFFIE: What are you staring at?

HORACE: That painting, it's really quite extraordinary.

Where did you get it?

BUFFIE: Um, a gentlemen friend.

Dr. Longworth, perhaps?

Don't be ridiculous, I don't know Dr. Longworth that well.

But since you're being so nosy,

I don't mind telling you it was

Mr. Yaeger who gave it to me.

John Yaeger!

BUFFIE: Yes, what about him?

Nothing, nothing, everything is alright.

Would you please excuse me, Miss Harrington?

Goodnight.

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[knocking on door]

- CYRUS: Who is it? - HORACE: Horace Gladstone.

Well, what do you want?

HORACE: A very urgent matter, Dr. Longworth.

Thank you, Doctor.

Well, well, as always burning the midnight oil.

I would appreciate visitors to use the front entrance,

Mr. Gladstone, this is a private entrance.

It is not to be used!

I thought it was more appropriate this time.

CYRUS: What, what do you mean?

Don't you know?

No, of course I don't know.

HORACE: About you and me and our little secret.

What are you talking about?

[laughing] Come, come, Longworth,

it's inconceivable that I wouldn't find

You helped me in your own way to solve the mystery.

You led me to the truth.

CYRUS: What truth?

That Cyrus Longworth is John Yaeger

and John Yaeger is Cyrus Longworth!
