620 - November 7, 1968

[music playing]

A moonless night, the great estate of Collinwood,

and a secret drama takes place; a drama which, if known,

would shock and horrify every member of the family.

For Barnabas Collins has disappeared,

the victim of a vampire, and the two who know fear for his life.

This night, a lonely figure waits, shielded by the trees,

staring at the most mysterious house on the property.

For she is positive that somewhere in this house

is the answer to all of her questions.

Where is Barnabas?

Who is the vampire who's determined to k*ll him?

If Barnabas is in that house, I might be able to get him out

before Nicholas comes back.

[door slam]

Someone else is coming out.

A woman!

She's coming this way.

Ah!

It's Angelique Collins.

[music playing]

[theme music]

- Angelique. Angelique Collins.

She's the vampire.

She is.

Cassandra has come back as Angelique.

She will turn Barnabas into what he was.

You must not panic, you must not.

Think.

If Barnabas is in that house, he's either so weak that he

cannot escape, or else he's...

I must go in that house.

I must find out.

[music playing]

[gasp]

- What are you doing here?

- Who are you?

- Get out.

You don't belong here.

You are not wanted here. Now, get out.

- Adam. Adam.

- I'm all right.

- No, you aren't.

- Yes, I am.

- Adam, let-- let me examine you.

- There's nothing wrong with me.

- But there is with Barnabas.

That's it, isn't it?

Adam, do you know where Barnabas is?

Is he in this house?

You must tell me, Adam, for your sake as well as his.

Adam, Adam, you haven't forgotten, have you?

When you were so ill in the root cellar with Carolyn?

- No, I haven't forgotten.

- Well, then-- then tell me where he is.

- I cannot.

- He must be in this house.

Adam, I'm going to search the house.

So please, please let me.

Please?

- You don't believe me?

I-- I must see for myself.

- I do not lie.

I told you he isn't in this house.

Julia, if can make him well, go and find him.

Don't waste time.

Do you understand?

Go and find him.

Make us both well.

Just stay out of this house.

[music playing]

The cross...

I need it so.

Barnabas?

- Now, I'll be all right.

- Barnabas, why do you insist on staying here?

Why won't you get a doctor?

No one must know.

- But you are no better.

I will be soon.

- At least, let me get Julia.

- Vicky, you've already saved me by bringing me here,

by keeping my secret.

I do not need Julia.

I need no one, no one but you and nothing but this.

- Barnabas...

[wind]

How could Barnabas ever leave that hut?

Who helped him?

Someone must have.

And where is he now?

[sigh]

What shall I say to Nicholas?

What will he do to me?

- Barnabas Collins, wherever you are, I need you.

Come to me.

Come to my coffin.

Wherever you are, you need me now.

Just come to my coffin.

Come to me.

Come to me.

- [gasp]

- Barnabas?

Barnabas, what's wrong?

- A nightmare.

- You have the strength to come to me, Barnabas.

You must leave wherever you are.

Hear me.

Come to me.

Hear me.

Hear me.

- No. - Barnabas.

- No.

- Help me once more.

I must find Barnabas, wherever he is now.

Show him to me.

You will rise from your bed.

You will come to me now.

Rise.

And come to me now.

[music playing]

[scream]

A cross.

He has a cross.

- What's wrong?

- Adam.

Adam, you must help me.

- No.

- Adam, you must.

It's Barnabas.

I can't control him anymore.

Adam, he has a cross, a cross which protects him from me.

As long as he has it, he can do anything he wants.

Adam, he can k*ll Eve.

And I can't stop him.

He's in the west wing at Collinwood

in the room where you lived.

He lies on your bed and he's planning to come and k*ll Eve.

He is. I swear.

- He will not k*ll Eve.

- Vicky is with him.

Do whatever you must with her but find the cross

and destroy it.

And then Barnabas will be as he was before.

- I cannot--

I cannot go.

- You'll let Eve die?

He is weaker than you are.

Adam, you can get there.

I know you can.

Try.

Please try.

- I will.

I will go.

I will get the cross.

[music playing]

[groan]

- Oh, don't let her come.

Don't let her.

- Who, Barnabas?

- The cross. The cross.

- Here.

Here it is.

Barnabas, who were you talking about?

Who frightens you so?

No one.

- But then why did you say, "Don't let her come"?

- No one frightens me.

All I need is the cross...

The cross.

- Barnabas?

You'll die if I don't.

You will.

[music playing]

- Adam? Adam?

The cross...

The cross, it will save us both.

Oh, Adam, no.

No.

Now you will come to me, Barnabas.

Barnabas Collins.

I wait for you.

I wait for you.

Come to me.

- Julia?

Julia.

Vicky?

- Oh, thank goodness. - What's-- what's wrong?

What's happened?

- He didn't want me to tell anybody but--

- Who? - Barnabas.

You know where Barnabas is?

- Yes, he's in the west wing.

Julia, wait, he won't see anyone.

You know he's sick?

- Yes.

- How?

- Later, I'll tell you everything later.

But when did you find him Vicky? Where?

- I-- I-- I found him lying in the woods.

Julia, I think he's dying.

[music playing]

- You know you must come to me.

You cannot deny me.

What I want-- what I need--

Barnabas Collins, come to me now.

I will meet you in the woods.

You know you want to come to me.

I will give you the strength to come, Barnabas.

Come to me now.

Now.

Now.

Angelique?

- Yes.

- Eve is safe.

- Yes, she's safe now.

- Don't you want this?

- No.

But if it has power, if it can free Barnabas,

you must take it. - No, keep it away from me.

No, don't make me look at it.

Hide it.

Destroy it!

[music playing]

He wouldn't see anybody.

All he wanted was the cross.

- Did he have a cross when you left him?

- Yes, he said it's all that he needed.

- Julia, you're going to be shocked by him.

He's so different.

He's not going to want your help.

- I'll deal with him.

Barnabas? Vicky...

Vicky, he's gone.

[music playing]

- You've come.

Yes.

- Why did you leave the hut?

I told you to stay there.

- I couldn't.

- You should have known I would find you.

And send Adam to steal my cross?

- That was necessary.

- Necessary if I am to die.

Don't you think I know that?

And yet you came to me?

- What is this power of yours?

Once I had it, too.

Once others felt drawn to me as I am to you now.

Did I understand then the feelings, the regrets,

the hatred that they must have had for me then?

- The hatred that you feel now?

- You're going to k*ll me tonight.

We will be together forever, Barnabas.

- You never gave up, did you?

I have loved you for so long.

And now at last you need me as I have always needed you.

Yes, finally we will be together.

- An eternity together...

- We will never die.

- No.

We will have our nights, both of us,

and our days will be spent in coffins.

And that's how we will be together.

It's the only way we can be.

- If Nicholas will even permit it.

For he will be angry, angry enough to come to our coffins

with a hatchet and a mallet.

When I die, Adam will die.

Did you know that?

I don't care about Adam.

- Nicholas will.

- Are you afraid of Nicholas?

- You should be, too.

- Should I?

No.

No, Barnabas, I'm not afraid of him anymore.

Barnabas, Nicholas wants to be human.

Every day he becomes more like a mortal man.

And no mortal man can spoil my plans.

Come to me.

Come to me now.

Let us start our journey together.

[music playing]

- We-- we must find him.

I don't understand how we could have left.

He was so weak.

He must have known that I was going for help.

Julia, we had to get Roger and everyone to look for him.

- No. - But Julia--

- No, I-- I'll go and find Willie.

- But the more people we have, the better chance we

have of finding him.

Willie and will find him.

- I don't understand.

- Well, do you have to?

Yes, he's sick. He won't see a doctor.

What's wrong with him?

Vicky, please, no questions now.

- Well, when can I ask them?

After we have found him.

Oh, Vicky, he wanted this kept a secret.

And I'm not sure why but he must have had his reasons.

If everyone here finds out he's missing,

it will be an embarrassment to him.

Don't you see?

Vicky, you went along with him before.

Please, go along with me now.

- Will you explain later?

All right, I'll--

I'll start looking for him when you get Willie.

[music playing]

- I am dying.

- Don't be afraid, Barnabas.

- Vicky?

Vicky?

- Don't think about her.

- I loved her.

- As you will love me, now and forever.

[rooster]

It's nearly dawn.

Barnabas, do you understand me?

I must leave you now, but I will come again at dusk.

They will find your body here.

And then your spirit will meet with mine, never

to be parted, never.

And you will be as I am--

forever.

- Forever.
