607 - October 21, 1968

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:The walls of Collinwood are still obscured

by darkness,

but soon the light of morning will come,

for this long night is almost over.

It has been a night of terror,

for one man was lured to a mysterious house by the sea

and underwent a horrifying experience.

An experience that will not only change his life,

but the lives of others around him.

And before this day is over,

another man may die a terrifying death.

Adam?

[SHRIEKING]

Adam, it's Nicholas.

Nicholas!

- Did I frighten you? - Yes.

Well, who did you think I... Well, who did you think it was?

I don't know.

I just know I was having a dream.

A bad dream.

I'm glad you woke me.

NICHOLAS: I woke you to tell you that Eve is safe.

- Safe. - Yes.

Our plan worked just exactly as we thought it would.

Barnabas came here and tried to k*ll Eve?

Yes, but he found Angelique instead.

He is under her spell.

He will never try to harm Eve again.

He will never do anything we don't want him to do.

We control Barnabas Collins completely, Adam.

Eve's safe, that's good.

[LAUGHING] You don't sound very happy about it.

I am.

It's just that...

What?

I feel weak.

I feel... strange.

Well, uh, perhaps you didn't sleep very well.

Perhaps.

[PANTING]

Why, why are you rubbing your neck?

I don't know.

Adam, there's something wrong with you, what is it?

My neck.

Take your hand away. Let me see your neck.

♪ [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

♪ [EERIE THEME MUSIC]

Adam, these marks...

Marks?

Yes.

There are marks on your neck.

Look.

Nicholas, where'd they come from?

- Don't you know? - No, I don't know.

I just know my dream.

- Your dream? - Yes.

In my dream, someone, I couldn't see attacked me.

Attacked you?

Yes.

And then I felt strange, weak.

Frightened, I'm still frightened.

What are you frightened of?

I don't know, I just know I'm frightened.

I don't know why.

Nicholas, I feel something's gonna happen.

Something terrible, I don't know what it is.

Adam.

I am going to ask you a very important question,

and I want you to tell me the truth.

ADAM: What is it?

Has Angelique been in this room tonight?

- Angelique? - Yes, was she here?

No.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- Well, I think I know what happened. - What?

I haven't time to explain, it's getting...

Late, it's nearly morning, I must find Angelique.

Nicholas, don't bring her here, I don't want to see her.

NICHOLAS: Why not?

Uh...

- Are you frightened of her? - Yes.

Why, Adam?

I don't know!

Well, I think I do.

But don't be frightened of Angelique or anything else.

Nothing is going to happen to you.

I know what's causing you to be afraid,

and I'm going to put an end to it right now.

♪ [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

In a few moments the sun will rise...

and when it sets again...

I will summon Barnabas and he will come to me.

He won't be able to resist me.

And he will be mine.

At last.

Angelique.

Nicholas?

Where are you going?

You know where I have to go, it's nearly dawn.

Well, there are a few moments left,

and I want to talk to you.

- Nicholas, I-- - Don't argue with me, Angelique.

I want to talk to you about something vitally important.

Sit down.

What is it?

It is Barnabas Collins.

Barnabas? What about him?

For the time being, you must stay away from him.

Stay away from him?

- Nicholas, you told me... - I know what I told you,

but I've had to change my mind

because of something that has happened to Adam.

- Adam? - Yes.

We forgot.

We forgot about Eric Lang's message on the tape recorder.

I don't understand.

Don't you remember the message?

It said that there would be a connection between Barnabas

and Adam if they both lived after the experiment.

It said that if anything happened to Barnabas,

if he was injured or k*lled,

then the same thing would happen to Adam.

Did something happen to Adam?

Yes, he has something resembling wounds on his neck.

He's weak and dazed just as Barnabas is.

I don't want anything to happen to Adam.

You must not see Barnabas again.

Nicholas, when I rise...

I will need Barnabas.

NICHOLAS: You will summon Joe Haskell instead.

I don't want Joe Haskell!

Well, that's too bad, my dear,

you must summon him anyway, not Barnabas.

I know why you want me to summon Joe.

It's because of that girl.

Maggie Evans, you want her for yourself.

That is beside the point. Now the sun is about to rise.

Do you want to stand here arguing with me

or are you going to do as I say?

ANGELIQUE: Well, I'll do as you say.

Well, that's very sensible of you, my dear.

May I go now?

Of course.

Hello, Joe.

I didn't think you were going to speak to me.

I wasn't,

but I had to.

Why?

Joe, the way you look.

I don't care about the way I look.

You don't seem to be caring about much of anything lately.

No, I don't.

Oh, Joe.

I suppose you're here to see Nicholas Blair, huh?

MAGGIE: Yes.

You're seeing a lot of him these days, aren't you?

That's what I thought.

Well, is there any reason why I shouldn't?

No, I guess not.

Nicholas has been very kind and considerate.

very thoughtful.

JOE: Yeah, sure.

Have you been working?

No.

- Joe, for your own sake-- - Oh, Maggie, look,

I know everything you're gonna say,

now just don't give me a lecture, please.

All right.

You been okay?

Yes, I guess.

I thought about you.

Have you?

I thought you stopped caring about me a long time ago.

It's not true.

MAGGIE: Isn't it, Joe?

- Maggie? - Yeah?

Just Maggie.

Sometimes when you look at me that way,

I think you feel the way you did.

- About me, I mean. - You don't know how I feel, Maggie.

I wish I could tell you. I wish I could tell you.

But you can't.

We're not living in the past, we're living in the present.

That's right.

It's not very easy to talk to each other anymore, is it?

No. It's very hard.

Maggie.

Hello, Nicholas.

Hello, Joe.

Hello.

Would you, uh, would you like to take a seat at the bar?

No. Let's sit at the table.

Goodbye, Joe.

Goodbye.

JOE:Maggie, if only I could tell you how I feel about you.

If only I could tell you what she's done to me.

But I can't.

The sun.

It's beginning to set.

I have to go to her.

I don't want to, but I have to.

I have to.

What would you like to drink?

Maggie?

MAGGIE: What did you say?

What would you like to drink?

Anything.

You're, uh, very upset, aren't you?

I was bound to run into him sometime.

I can't let that upset me.

But seeing him that way...

I understand.

A, um, Black Russian for the lady I'll have the same.

[SIGHS] I don't mean to talk about Joe.

I don't even want to think about Joe.

As far as I'm concerned,

I don't even know Joe Haskell and I want to forget him.

Do you mean that?

Yes, I do.

Well, then let me see you smile.

- Adam. - You!

Why are you looking at me like that?

I, I...

Tell me where Nicholas is.

Out.

With Maggie Evans?

Yes.

I knew it.

Are you afraid of me?

ADAM: Yes.

Why?

I don't know.

I just know I don't want to be in the same room with you.

♪ [EERIE HAUNTING MUSIC]

ANGELIQUE:Nicholas is getting what he wants

and depriving me of what I want.

And he's doing it deliberately.

Nicholas thinks he can control everything.

But he's in for a surprise tonight,

because tonight I intend to do everything I can

to spoil his plans.

♪ [EERIE MUSIC]

Angelique.

I didn't summon you.

- I had to come here. - Please leave me alone.

You've never said that before.

Go away and leave me alone.

I can't. I need you.

I don't care.

Well, you need me.

No, not now.

What's happened?

I simply don't want you anymore.

You can't mean that.

I do.

I don't want to have anything more to do with you,

so please go away and leave me alone.

No, I can't, I can't believe this is happening.

It must be somebody else. That's it, isn't it?

Yes.

There's someone I want much more than you.

JOE: Who is it?

- That's none of your business. - I'll k*ll him!

You'll do nothing of the kind because I won't let you do it.

Is he coming here tonight?

Yes.

Then I'm not leaving. I'll stay right here.

- You'll leave, now! - No.

Get out of this house, Joe, and don't bother coming back.

I'll stay right here until he comes.

If you insist on pestering me, I'll show you something.

Perhaps the sight of it will drive you out of here.

Look into this mirror.

- The mirror? - Yes.

Look into this mirror and you'll see your beloved Maggie.

You'll be able to see what's happening to her right now.

NICHOLAS:Maggie, I know you're going through

a very difficult period.

I wish I could make it less difficult for you.

You have.

NICHOLAS:Have I?

Being with somebody who's considerate and kind as you

are has been...

You've been a help.

NICHOLAS:Maggie, I, I'm not really kind

and considerate at all.

What do you mean?

NICHOLAS:I mean I'm very fond of you, Maggie.

Very fond.

In fact I will go so far as to say that I am

falling in love with you.

MAGGIE:Nicholas.

Now don't say anything, just let me talk for a moment.

All right.

If you feel that you could care about me

the way you cared about Joe, I want to go on seeing you.

But if you don't feel that way,

I think we should stop seeing each other.

It's up to you.

I don't know what to say.

Well, just answer yes or no.

Do you want to stop seeing each other?

No.

Then there is a chance?

Yes.

Well, that's all I wanted to hear.

I can't watch anymore.

ANGELIQUE: Seen enough?

Good.

Now go.

And don't come back.

I've lost her.

Lost Maggie.

That's because of you.

ANGELIQUE: Maybe she'll take you back.

No, you know she won't take me.

Not the way I am now.

Probably not.

Anyway, it doesn't concern me one way or the other.

I've lost Maggie, my job,

and it's all because of you.

Everything.

All I have left is you.

You don't have me anymore, I don't want you.

You've... you've ruined my life!

You don't even care.

ANGELIQUE: Not particularly.

Evil, vicious!

I'll k*ll you!

No, you won't.

JOE: No.

I ought to but I can't. Even now I can't.

ANGELIQUE: Put down that letter opener.

You look ridiculous.

It's myself I ought to k*ll.

I hate myself.

I hate everything I've become.

I'll never ever be anything else.

- Not now. - Oh, will you please leave?

I don't... I don't want to live.

I want to die. I want to die.

Joe, if you won't leave me, I'll leave you.

If you knew how much you bore me.
