517 - June 19, 1968

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: There are those within the great house at Collinwood

who continue to suffer from the evil of one person

who has come to them from the th century.

On this night, in the old Collins mausoleum,

on the grounds of Eagle Hill Cemetery,

the past threatens the destruction of the witch

who calls herself Cassandra Collins.

[SCREAMING]

No!

No!

Your flames will not work, Reverend Brand.

My power is stronger than yours,

and I will summon all the powers I command

to put them out.

There, there, you see.

They're getting lower now, Reverend.

Soon they will be out.

[FLAMES CRACKLING]

In a moment your flames will be nothing

but harmless smoke.

[GASPING]

Now I am free again,

and I shall finish what I set out to do.

We shall meet again, Reverend,

and when we do meet again,

Barnabas Collins will be destroyed.

[TELEPHONE WHIRRING]

Joe, it's Vicky.

Joe, I just had a call from Maggie at the hospital.

Oh, no, no, she's all right, but it's Mr. Evans,

he's had some kind of accident, some kind of fall.

No, I don't know,

but Mr. Evans' condition is critical.

He's had a concussion.

Joe, I, I asked Maggie if she'd call you,

and she said something about an argument.

I didn't want to press it, but...

Well, she's very upset.

Yes, I think you should, I think you should right away.

And Joe, look, if there's anything that I can do,

I'll be here for a few hours.

[HANGS UP TELEPHONE]

How long have you been here?

I just came in a moment ago.

I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, though.

That's alright, it wasn't private.

CASSANDRA; Has Sam Evans had an accident?

Well, we don't know yet if it was an accident or not.

I don't understand.

Neither do I. I don't know the details.

What hospital is he in?

There's only one in Collinsport.

Poor man,

certainly had his share of tragedy lately, hasn't he?

Yes, he has.

Excuse me, I've gotta go upstairs now.

[DOOR KNOCKING]

Come in.

Joe!

Maggie.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT] Oh, Joe.

Maggie, how is he?

How did you find out?

Vicki told me.

Why didn't you call me right away?

You were so angry before, I don't know.

I could k*ll myself for acting out the way I did.

Joe, don't think about it, let's just forget about it.

If I had stayed with you, Sam wouldn't be here now.

How did it happen?

Do you remember that fellow that you told me about?

Adam?

Yes, Adam,

he came to the house shortly before Pop did,

and when Pop came in, there was a misunderstanding,

and I guess we all panicked.

Pop thought that Adam was trying to hurt me.

There was a struggle,

and he tried to get him away from me,

and then Pop fell to the floor and hit his head.

Oh, Joe.

They won't tell me if he's gonna live or die.

It's gonna be all right, Maggie, don't worry.

Come here.

Have you done anything about Adam?

Joe, what do I care about him now?

I'm just concerned about my father.

No, I think Pop is right, Adam didn't intend to hurt him.

But he did hurt him.

Yes, I know, but...

Joe, I couldn't face talking to the police when we got here,

so I had one of the doctors do it.

I'm sure they're out looking for him now.

Did the doctors tell you how long it would be

before they knew anything?

They just keep saying that it's critical.

[DOOR OPENING]

MAGGIE: Mrs. Collins?

Oh, I hope you'll forgive this intrusion.

I heard your father had an accident.

And after all he's been through.

I just had to see, I just had to come and see

if there was something I could do.

♪♪

I appreciate your thoughtfulness,

but I'm afraid there's nothing any of us can do now

except pray that he recovers.

Is he able to speak?

Well, he's awakened from time to time and tried to speak,

but he's not supposed to.

How long ago did they bring him here?

Several hours.

And you've been here at his bedside all that time,

- haven't you? - Yes, of course.

Have you had anything to eat or drink?

I haven't even thought about that.

Forgive me, but there is something I can do.

- What is that? - You look exhausted.

I know you could use a cup of hot coffee.

I'll be glad to stay here with your father

- while you get something to eat. - I couldn't do that.

Maggie, listen,

you've been in this room for most of the night.

It'll do you good to get out for just a few minutes.

JOE: She may be right, Maggie,

as long as Sam's asleep there's not much you can do for her.

Of course I'm right, you just go on.

See how refreshed you feel when you get back.

- I hate to ask you to do-- - You're not asking me, I'm volunteering!

Really, I'm very happy to do so.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

We'll only be a minute.

[DOOR CLOSING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC] ♪♪

Mr. Evans?

Mr. Evans, it's time to wake up.

[GROANING]

There, you're beginning to waken, aren't you?

Mr. Evans, can you hear me?

[GROANING] Who are ya?

I'm a friend.

Maggie, where's Maggie?

Maggie's gone to get some coffee,

she'll be back in just a minute.

You only have to stay awake long enough

to drink some water.

Water?

Yes, the nurse was just in here,

and she told me to make certain that you took this.

Here.

[GASPS]

I wanna, I want to tell Maggie something.

You may not be able to tell her anything.

You'll be feeling sleepy in just a moment.

You'll be going to sleep

and you may not have time to tell anyone anything.

Tell her Adam...

- Adam? - Adam.

Do you know something about him?

My friend.

Adam is also a friend of Barnabas', isn't he?

Tell Maggie it wasn't, wasn't Adam's fault.

It wasn't...

Mr. Evans?

Mr. Evans?

That's too bad.

I wanted to know what you could tell me about Adam,

how Barnabas knows him.

I'll find out some other way.

The important thing now is that you sleep.

And have the dream.

Yes.

I just couldn't stay away,

we decided to bring the coffee back.

We brought you some, too.

Oh, thank you.

Did I hear a voice as I came in?

I was just whispering to your father to go back to sleep.

- Did he wake up? - He stirred a little, that's all.

- Did he say anything? - No, not a word.

I think he'll probably sleep peacefully now

the rest of the night.

No, I'm not supposed to leave the bed.

Vicki?

Why don't you say something.

Tell me how to get out of here.

Vicki!

I don't want to be left alone in this room.

through endless corridors by trial and error.

A head of blazing light does burn,

What's the matter, of course you're not.

You just lie back and rest.

Maggie, are you here?

Yes, Pop, don't worry, I'm not going to leave you.

Oh, you were dressed in black, you thought I was dead.

- What are you talking about? - In the dream.

- What dream? - It was like the dream you had.

Just the way you told it to me.

- No, Pop. - You and Vicky.

I've gotta see Vicki Winters.

- Soon Maggie, before I die. - You're not going to die.

Yes, yes, that's what the dream meant.

I've got to see Vicki before I do.

Hello? Please give me Collinsport, .

Professor? It's Maggie Evans here.

I'm in my father's room at the hospital.

No, I'll explain that later.

Right now I need your help, Professor.

He's had the dream.

Yes, it was almost an hour ago.

I don't know what to do, I've never seen him like this,

he's terribly frightened.

Person who beckoned to, It was Victoria Winters.

Yes, we've sent for her. She's on her way here now.

Why?

It was the only way we could calm him.

All right, I'll tell him that.

Thank you, Professor.

- Pop? - [GROANING]

Pop, everything's going to be all right.

Professor Stokes is on his way over here right now.

I want to see Vicki. Where is she?

Vicki will be over here shortly, too,

but Professor Stokes is the one that can help you.

He knows all about the dream and what causes it.

No, no, Vicki's the only one who can help me.

But she has to get here soon or it may be too late.

Pop, please don't talk like that.

- I'm gonna die. Maggie, I know it. - No! You're not!

I don't want to die carrying such a burden.

Pop, listen to me, Vicki will be here shortly.

And when she comes here, you can tell her

what you have to tell her but you're going to be all right.

Hear my voice, Sam Evans.

Listen carefully to what I say.

You must not die yet.

You must live.

You must live until Victoria Winters is at your side,

and you have told her the dream.

Vicki must hear the dream,

for it is she who will take the final step,

and carry the dream to Barnabas Collins.

Where is she? What's taking her so long?

Pop, she's going to be here soon, just try to rest.

No, I can't Maggie. I want to, but I can't.

You know what the fear is like,

- you had that dream, you know. - Yes, Pop.

Oh, Vicki, thank heavens you're here.

- I got here as fast as I could. - Thank you, Vicki.

Listen, listen to what I have to tell you.

I must tell you the dream before I die.

I must or I'll have no peace.

You're not going to die.

It didn't give you any rest.

I am dying, I know it, but no, I'm not afraid of that.

If only I can tell you my dream.

All right, tell me.
