636 - December 1, 1968

[bunniefuu]

- A great storm rages through Collinwood.

A rainless wind which seems to sweep violence

all over the great estate, for vengeance

has become one man's obsession.

And in the basement of this house,

he takes his revenge on the man who made him,

for he means to k*ll the girl his enemy loves,

and in the same grotesque way that his own mate was turned

into a skeleton.

[screaming]

- Leave me alone!

Please!

Please!

- No, no.

This was Eve and look at her now.

Look what they did to her.

Barnabas will suffer they way I suffer

and you will die the way she died.

- Adam!

- You.

- Turn off that machinery or I will k*ll you.

- Will you?

- I mean what I say.

- Yes, yes...

Will you k*ll me, Barnabas?

- Don't test me.

- I don't think you will.

You know what will happen if you k*ll me?

- I know something might happen but I'll take that chance.

Now, shut off the machinery.

- You will revert back to what you were.

- What?

- Yes.

If I die, you will revert back to what you were.

That's what it said on Dr. Lang's tape,

and I memorized it.

- You're lying.

You don't know what you're talking about.

- He might be telling the truth, Barnabas.

He did hear the tape.

- I don't know what you were, Barnabas,

but I know you don't want me to die.

Look at her, Barnabas.

Look at the woman you love and watch her suffer

the way my mate suffered.

I want you to see that.

- Barnabas, if he pulls that switch, he'll electrocute her.

- Just watch, Barnabas.

- Don't pull that switch!

[theme music]

- The part of Victoria Winters is played by Miss Betsy Durkin.

- No!

No!

No!

- Barnabas.

- Vicki.

Turn everything off, Julia.

Quickly.

- Get away.

- Adam, please.

- No.

- But I can help you.

- So he will live?

- So you will, too.

Adam!

Adam! - Adam, stop!

- Adam.

Adam.

Adam!

Barnabas.

Barnabas, he's gone.

Did you hear me? He's gone.

- I think she moved.

- She'll be all right.

- You haven't examined her.

- Barnabas, he's getting away.

- Julia.

- If you won't, I'll go and find him myself.

- No.

- But Barnabas--

- You look after her. - He is getting away!

- Do as I tell you!

- Her pulse is slow, Barnabas, but she'll be all right.

We got here in time.

- Well, we must get her back to Collinwood.

We can't let her wake up here.

We'll get your car and drive her back.

- All right, Barnabas.

Shall I make plans for the rest of the night, too?

Shall I find Willie?

Shall I tell him to bring a coffin to this room?

A coffin that you may need at sunrise

because that's the risk you're taking, Barnabas.

Or shall we go and see if we can find Adam.

He's lying out there in the woods somewhere.

- Didn't I make that decision when I fired that shot?

Help me, Julia.

[phone ringing]

- Professor Stokes?

Hello?

Hello?

Is this Rockport ?

Come on, I can hear you.

I know someone's there.

Just tell me if I have the right number, please?

[phone being hung up]

- Professor. - Adam!

What is it?

You need a doctor.

- No.

- I won't even ask you what has happened.

Curiosity is the most boring obsession.

I'll see that you're taken care of.

- No.

No.

- Heavens.

You aren't strong enough to wander around

with a wound like that.

You want to die?

Give me the telephone, Adam.

- Not Julia, Professor. Not Julia.

- She is not my resident physician.

- I want to die.

- Be assured that death is no better than life,

so don't look forward to it.

Hello, Carl.

Glad to find you there.

Stokes here, in rather an emergency.

Can you come over immediately?

I'm afraid I can't explain.

A g*nsh*t wound, I should think.

No.

Yes, I know I can rely on your discretion.

Good. See you soon.

Thank you.

- You hate me.

- You really believe that?

Don't move, you'll only make it worse.

- No.

- Yes, Adam.

So you've learned to turn away, never

to let anyone see you cry.

You've become civilized very quickly.

Too civilized, perhaps.

I can help you, Adam, whether you want me to or not.

You won't die, not from negligence anyway,

as long as you're in this house.

But I think you knew that before you came here.

- Has she awakened?

Carolyn's very upset.

I don't know that she believes anything I've said or not.

- Did you tell her everything? - That I shot Adam?

- Yes.

- Oh, Vicki, Vicki, you're all right.

- Where is he?

Where's Adam?

- He's gone. - The police!

Call the police!

- We've taken care of that, Vicki.

- Where did you find me?

- You remember nothing?

Nothing at all?

- I was held down.

And there were strange sounds.

- What kind of sounds?

- Like a machine.

- It was a nightmare.

- Vicki, I can give you something to help you sleep.

- No, no, I don't want to sleep.

I just want to know what happened to me.

- I don't know.

Adam went insane.

- Where is he now?

He'll be back.

Oh, Barnabas.

Barnabas, please, stay with me till morning.

It won't be long, please? - Till morning.

- Barnabas can't stay with you but I'll stay with you, Vicki.

- Thank you, Julia.

- Carl left these, said you were to take one every two hours.

It will help to reduce the danger of infection.

Adam, please?

So you've k*lled Eve?

You didn't choose your friends too wisely.

Nicholas Blair...

Perhaps that was my fault.

- No, Professor.

- Yes, I was guilty, too.

I started to teach you then I failed to follow through.

Now, I have my second chance.

- I have no chance.

No one will ever love me.

- Well, I can't possibly tell whether you're right or not.

I've never been much of a prophet.

Perhaps love is too much to expect

in your present condition.

You can change.

- No, I can't change.

Professor, I'm too ugly.

- That's the simplest thing to remedy.

Nowadays, anyone can make himself handsomer

if he wants to.

I know a clinic.

Yes.

Yes.

If you don't like the old Adam, we'll make a new one.

I need a project.

[doorbell]

- Barnabas?

- Professor Stokes, it's Jeff Clark.

- Professor, don't let him in. Don't.

Eve.

Vicki.

- Go to the bedroom. Stay there.

[doorbell buzzing]

Just a minute. - Are you all right, Professor?

- Go on. Yes! Yes!

I'm very well, as you can see.

I must have dozed off for a moment.

Come in. - Well, I called you earlier.

Somebody picked up the phone, didn't say anything.

I was worried.

- You know, I'm convinced this place is haunted.

But in all my reading, I've never

encountered a ghost who used the telephone.

- I know somebody was there.

I heard breathing.

- You must have dialed the wrong number.

Actually, I was out finding those herbs I told you about.

Clark, I really do not advise this.

- You have to.

You told me you'd help me.

- Am I not allowed to have second thoughts?

- No, you're not.

- Postpone it, perhaps?

- No.

- These can be very dangerous.

- You already told me that.

- Mysterious things have happened

to those who've taken them.

- But that's exactly what I need.

- I'm trapped as usual between my curiosity

about the experience and my knowledge.

Shouldn't you talk all this over with Vicki?

- No.

No.

Professor, you told me that these

would help me remember, that that was

the least that they could do.

I'm using the body of somebody named Jeff Clark but I'm really

Peter Bradford and I know it now,

but I don't know everything.

If I knew everything, I'd know how I came to this century.

And then-- then I could--

- Then you could go back to your home.

Frankly, my advice would be simply to marry the girl.

Consider it a rather unusual marriage, perhaps,

but then most marriages are one way or another.

- What are you doing?

The ritual, it must be controlled.

The ritual's the only way and you're spoiling it.

Sit down.

You must say nothing.

When I pause, you will eat the second leaf.

When I pause again, the third.

Do you understand?

You can't afford to take any more chances.

You powers can release the memories

that exist beyond our memories.

You powers that can show us our true selves

before ourselves existed.

Look upon this pilgrim who hunts his past,

give him an inner eye to see the first land he knew.

Guide him carefully through the years

until he finds his own time.

Know that he honors you, that he believes in you,

that he will not defame you.

What is your name?

Can you write your name?

What is your mother's name?

- Nora.

- Your father's?

- Caleb.

- Where were you born?

- In Deerfield, .

- Why did you come here to our century?

- I love her.

I love her.

I'm going back.

I can see it all.

I can see the road.

I-- No.

No.

No. I have to see her again.

No, please, help me.

Help me.

Let me see her once again.

They're-- they're pulling at me.

I don't want to go.

I don't want to go until--

until I can see her again. No.

I won't.

I won't go. Vicki?

Vicki.

Vicki.

Vicki.

The jail.

She's in the jail.

They're hanging her outside.

The noose is ready for her.

I told her, I'll follow you.

I'll find you.

No.

No.

No.

Don't come for me now.

Just give me one chance, just to talk to her.

That's all.

Just one chance and then I'll be willing to go.

But, please, one chance to talk to her now.

Please?

Please? Please.

- Jeff!

- Wait.

You knew.

You knew to come.

- She remembers.

- Oh, no, let me talk to her.

Let me explain to her.

Please, don't come for me now.

- Jeff.

- All I need is time. Just time.

- Oh, you will have time.

Jeff, listen to me.

- No, they're calling me.

- Your love made you follow me.

Your love brought you here.

Well, my love will keep you here.

I won't let you go.

Jeff, you can stay.

If the power of love is so strong, you can stay.

Commit yourself to this life, to this time.

Say you will, Jeff, and they will let you stay.

Say you will.

- Oh.

I will.

I will stay.

- We'll be married. - Yes.

- Tonight.

- Tonight.
