702 - March 3, 1969

[bunniefuu]

[Julia narrating] - The great house of Collinwood is housed

by an evil spirit who has possessed a child

whose very life is threatened.

Barnabas Collins, determined to fight the ghost,

has resorted an ancient Chinese mystic art,

which may bring him into a meeting with Quentin Collins.

But instead of seeing Quentin,

Barnabas finds himself trapped in a chained coffin,

not knowing that the time is

and that Quentin Collins is alive,

the prodigal son just returned to Collinwood.

And as Barnabas struggles in the coffin,

a gypsy walks to the mausoleum,

determined to find the legendary Collins jewels.

[thinking] - They wouldn't be in - in a coffin!

Magda won't believe that.

She will say that's just where they would put them.

But why would it be chained?

If you don't open it now, you will just be coming back.

You know that.

Do it.

You're dead.

You're dead!

No, no. Stay away!

No! Don't.

Please, let me go.

[thinking] - This is the last time I may ever come here.

If Sandor finds the jewels --

Oh -- - Don't even try to scream.

- Quentin. - At your service, gypsy, if you'll be at mine.

- Let me go. - Not until you agree.

- To what? What? You are hurting me!

When I tell Edith --

- Oh - h*, so you are on a first name basis

with Grandmama?

- She will throw you out of the house again!

- Edward threw me out here before, you know that.

Grandmother never did and never will.

If you help me.

- Oh, help you?

- Next time, I'll press harder!

I think we should avoid that next time if possible.

You can, by doing something for me.

Oh - h*, you haven't changed, Magda.

There will be money.

- But there is none now?

- You are going to help me get lots.

And in such a simple way.

You control Edith.

Beth says so, Judith says so.

- I read her cards truthfully.

- Yes, I'm sure.

I have no doubt of that.

Don't forget that I know you haven't had an honest thought

in your entire life.

You are after the same thing I am.

Money.

And you will do anything to get it and so will I.

Now, I will give you one-tenth of my inheritance

after Grandmama dies.

- What do I have to do?

- It's so simple. I almost hesitate to ask you.

- Tell me.

- Impress upon her how much I have changed.

- Not even my cards could lie that much. - Wait!

- I wait only for money.

- I offered you an agreement.

I'll give it to you in writing.

- Do you think I would count on it even then?

- It is perfectly legal. A paper.

- I trust no paper.

- Then you force, Magda, to hurt you.

- Don't touch me.

Your grandmother knows how easily I bruise.

- What happened?

Who are you?

- I have no time for your questions.

You must answer mine.

Who are you?

- Sandor.

- Where do you live?

- At the old house.

- No.

What year is this?

- .

- Oh, God!

I wanted to find Quentin but --

but not - not -- - He is here.

He arrived tonight.

- Tonight? From where?

- I don't know.

He shipped out on a boat about a year ago.

- Then I am back in his life.

I didn't want it this way.

How can I find David if I am back in another time?

How? - What are you talking about?

How did you get there?

- You must get me some clothes.

- I won't get you nothing.

- Oh, yes, you will, Sandor.

You will do whatever I want.

You know that, don't you?

You will get me clothes.

- Yes.

- And you will protect me.

- Yes.

- You will tell no one how you found me.

- I will tell no one.

[thinking] - .

What did Julia and Stokes think?

Is my body still there?

Is this happening in my mind?

Yet, I am here,

here as I was when I was put in that coffin.

When the coffin was chained.

I must find out what I can!

About Quentin -- about Beth --

- Beth!

What do you know about Beth?

- What do you know?

- She works in the big house, that's all.

- She's in love with Quentin.

- Where did you get that idea?

How do you even know about them?

- A trick of time!

- You are always talking about time.

There is only one time - now!

- You are wrong, Sandor.

There are many times. You only have to find them.

Now, come, we must go. - Where?

- Where you live.

- No. No, Magda -- - You'll do as I say!

You are a gypsy.

You know what will happen to you if you don't.

What time is it?

- It must be near .

- Good.

There are many things I must learn before morning.

Many things I must do.

Come!

♪♪

- Did you tell Grandmama that she would live forever?

- She knows that is not true.

- What did you tell her, Magda?

- What the cards said.

- I should have liked to have heard that.

Did the cards suggest a sum of money for the Gypsies?

When she dies,

you are going to need a friend around here.

I have no prejudices against your kind.

If she should die tonight, which she may,

you would be forced to leave here by morning.

You know that.

- What must be --

- You don't believe that any more than I do.

- We might be happy to leave.

- No, No. You've been here too long.

You've forgotten the road, Magda.

I know that.

Magda, did you talk to her about me?

Did you?

- You were mentioned.

- In the cards?

Hmm?

What did the cards say about me, Magda?

Does Grandmama like me more now?

- She said many interesting things.

- What do you mean?

The secret?

Did she tell you the secret?

Tell me what she said.

- Don't touch me!

If you want my help.

- Will you help me?

Will you?

- Quentin!

- My lovely, sister.

I was wondering how long the news of my arrival

would take to reach you.

- What will Edward say when --

I believe Grandmama is finished with you, is she not?

- I was just leaving, Ms. Collins.

- I can't abide that woman!

How could Grandmama listen to her?

Come into the drawing room, I must talk to you.

- Oh, a serious conversation?

Will you close the doors as Edward usually does?

- I don't want Beth to hear.

She listens. They all do.

They're all determined to find something out.

What, I don't know.

Everyone in this house is against each other.

- Or, are you simply against yourself, sister?

- What do you mean?

What a silly thing to say.

Of course, I'm not.

You saw Grandmama?

- Hmm-hmm.

People have been watching me.

- I hope you didn't upset her.

- She was delighted to see me.

- She is much worse tonight.

- You mean than she was before I came?

- Why did you have to come back?

- I was born here.

- You never thought of that before.

- Judith, I can't live my life as you do,

contained in one little bottle.

Never breaking out.

Willing to float in a fluid without hitting the sides

and never realizing it.

- You are disgusting.

- Other people have told me that.

- Comparing all this to a bottle

and me to some kind of a hideous medical specimen.

You have always hated me!

- No, Judith.

I thought you always did me.

Why didn't we ever get along?

- Because you've always said things like that.

Quentin, I have saved $.

- Oh, how thrifty of you.

- I want you to take it and leave.

- Hmm-hmm, you say $?

- It's not enough for you, I suppose.

I will give you a check for $ more.

- Only $?

- It's more than you'll get in her will!

- How do you know, Judith?

Have you read the will?

- No.

- I believe you.

- I am only trying to avoid trouble.

Quentin, when Edward comes back,

do you know how he'd feel if he knew I'd offered you this?

- That you'd be wasting the money.

And he'd be right, Judith.

I could take it, walk out of this house,

spend it all tonight even in Collinsport,

and be back here tomorrow!

Now, what could you do?

- If you gave me your word.

- What?

Well, Judith, I'm surprised at how fond of me

you actually are.

Thank you, Judith.

- I am fond of my peace of mind

and I can't have it with you around.

Please take this.

Can't I do anything?

- Is that a rhetorical question?

Then you can. I should like to see Jamison.

- The child is asleep.

- I promised him that I would awaken him

no matter what time I arrived.

- Well, you can wait until morning. - I have a present for him.

- That's no reason. - Judith!

I keep my promises to Jamison!

- If he asks you to leave, will you go?

- If he can persuade me to, yes.

If he tells me, he doesn't want me here,

yes.

- Do you mean that?

- Yes.

- If you do, I'll get him.

- I'm a gambler, Judith.

Of course, I do.

♪♪

- You are living here?

- Yes.

Drafty, roof leaks, it's about ready to burn down.

Nobody has lived in it for so long.

- I have.

- What?

- I have lived here twice in my life.

- If Magda is here,

what am I going to tell her about you?

- You are not.

- She will want to know.

- Leave it to me.

- Maybe she ain't here yet.

The old lady, Mrs. Collins, keeps her late sometimes.

Ain't you coming in?

- Yes.

- Magda?

She ain't here.

You see, I told you, it wasn't much.

- It was.

It was.

- Quentin!

Quentin, I know you're hiding in here.

Really, I'm much too grownup for this,

this type of game.

- Hah!

- You scared me.

- Then you aren't too grownup at all!

Even though you are bigger.

Tell me, have I grown?

- Of course not. - Ah, I have.

Two inches!

- You're crazy.

- You are right, who else would have you awakened

in the middle of the night to give you --

- You brought me something?

- I promised I would and I did.

What do you think it is?

- Well, I don't know. Show it to me.

- It is to take you away with.

- Honest?

- Hmm-hmm. Anytime you want to go.

All you have to do is shrink and set sail.

- Oh, it is beautiful.

- Yeah, there it is.

- Oh, thank you, Quentin.

- Hey, look at the name.

- The Jamison Collins.

It is named for me!

I won't tell him.

I don't want Quentin to go away!

I won't tell him! I won't! I won't!

- There is your answer, Judith.

- You didn't come back because of Grandmama at all.

You came back to finish ruining Jamison!

♪♪

- Sandor, well, well what's happened?

Where were you?

I went to the mausoleum.

You were not there.

You found them, didn't you?

- No.

- Don't lie. - I ain't lying!

- But I went into a secret room.

The empty coffin.

The jewels had to be there. That's where they were!

- You are wrong, madam.

- Who are you?

Sandor, who is he?

- I am quite capable of answering for myself.

Barnabas Collins is my name.

- Oh, the portrait - the portrait in the hall!

- Yes, madam.

But your husband will testify to the fact

that I am not a picture.

I am quite alive.

- No one has ever mentioned you.

What do you want of us?

- I am going to live here.

This place is in a deplorable condition.

Where is the portrait above the fireplace?

Have you pawned it?

And that large bedroom upstairs,

Josette's room,

who is sleeping there?

- I am.

- I will not have it!

- You will not have what?

Who are you to come in here and say what you will have

and what you will not have?

Edith Collins said we could live here.

She did not mention you today.

I will go and ask her.

- Magda!

- You have convinced him, yes,

but I am the one who keeps us here.

I am the one.

[knocking on door] - Magda, please!

- You will answer the door and you will not mention me.

- Do as he says!

- Why?

- For your sake!

- Sandor, Sandor, what has happened?

[knocking on door] - Answer the door!

- You noticed I knocked?

I've kept my manners whatever else they may say.

- What do you want? Be quick.

- Why?

Am I interrupting something?

- No, Magda is tired. That is all.

- Oh, is it?

I expected more hospitality.

Those interesting things my grandmother said today --

- I have forgotten them.

- Don't lie to me!

- Get out!

- Something is wrong. What?

- Nothing.

Nothing at all.

- Just a nice quiet evening at home

discussing my generous offer? - Eh?

- Didn't she tell you?

Oh, well, something is very strange here.

- You did not tell me.

- I - we cannot discuss it tonight.

- Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Magda will be feeling better.

I will talk to her tonight, if you will leave us.

- How curious, I never knew you to be upset before.

Until tomorrow.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Sandor, who is that man?

Who is he?

He has the mark of death on him.

Tell me!

Sandor! - No!

- Sandor?

[gasps]

Those marks!

Vampire!
