947 - February 9, 1970

[bunniefuu]

VOICEOVER:Soon it will be dawn,

but in the short time that remains of this night,

one young man will experience a kind of terror

he has never known before.

The evil and mysterious Jeb Hawkes

fears only one creature on Earth,

the wolf who walks like a man and it is that creature

who will find him this night.

[growling]

[door clatters]

Barnabas!

Barnabas!

Where are you?

Barnabas, I need you!

[growling]

[shattering]

[eerie music]

[growling]

[clattering]

[thudding]

[moaning]

[grunting]

[dramatic music]

[groaning]

Chris?

Chris can you hear me?

Chris open your eyes and look at me.

Barnabas, where am I?

Oh, my God, what have I done?

Be quiet and listen to me.

- Can you get up on your feet? - Yes.

Well, let me help you.

We've got to get you out of here.

Barnabas, did I k*ll this guy?

He's alive, he's all right.

- Who is he? - Never mind, keep moving.

What else did I do, Barnabas?

Did I k*ll anybody else?

I don't know, I've been looking for you all night.

I only found you, just now.

I don't understand why you keep protecting me.

Because you need to be protected from him.

What are you talking about?

I can't explain now.

Just go to your house and get into some fresh clothes

and come back here later on,

I'll explain everything to you then.

Now do as I say, Chris.

Jeb?

Jeb!

[screaming]

It tried to k*ll me.

It'll try again if we don't k*ll it.

It's all right, the animal is dead now.

Where were you when I needed help?

Why didn't you come?

I wasn't in the house.

You knew, you knew that creature was out there

and you knew he was going to get me.

You wanted him to k*ll me.

I think that is the most unfair thing to say,

considering that I saved your life.

You what?

I came in the house and you were lying on the stairs.

He was coming at you to k*ll you and I drove him off.

You drove him off?

What, do you have special powers over a werewolf?

I had this.

The head is made of silver, I beat him with it.

If it hadn't been for me, you would have been dead by now.

You could have let him k*ll me.

I didn't want him to k*ll you.

Why not?

Now, Jeb, because of what you are and who you are,

I am loyal to our cause.

And all this time I thought,

thought you'd be glad to see me dead.

Well, you were wrong.

I guess I was.

Perhaps this incident has been responsible

for our reaching a reconciliation and, therefore,

must have been a blessing in disguise.

Maybe, but I want to ask you one more question?

What is that?

Why did you take Carolyn away from me

to a place called Little Windward Island?

Well, because I was convinced

that you were moving too fast.

I did it for your own good.

You swear that's the only reason?

BARNABAS: Yes.

How did you find out?

Mrs. Stoddard called me from there but don't worry,

she didn't do it to betray you.

She assumed I knew and I might as well tell you,

Barnabas, when I heard, I went there myself.

You went there as you are now or--

No, I went in my true form.

What did you do to her?

Don't worry, I didn't do anything.

I changed my mind.

Why?

Because she was terrified of me,

of me and my true form, and it can't be that way.

I don't ever want her to feel frightened of me.

She's got to feel the same way about me

that I feel about her and that's the way I want to have her.

I've made up my mind.

It appears that you've matured considerably.

I think you've made a very wise decision.

I guess I should have trusted you all along.

I'm sorry I didn't trust you before, Barnabas.

That's all right, Jeb.

The important thing is that we

have reached a reconciliation.

I'll go to Little Windward and bring Carolyn

back to Collinwood.

Thank you.

[suspenseful music]

[door opens]

Hello, darling, I'm glad you got back all right.

Are you, Sky?

Darling, what's the matter?

You sent me on a wild goose chase to that airport,

to get me out of the house last night.

Now I want to know the reason why

and it better be a good one.

[laughing]

I sent you to the airport because

I wanted to get you out of the house last night?

- Don't laugh at me. - Well, what else can I do?

Honey, whatever made you think of that?

Just call it woman's intuition.

Well, your intuition is all wet.

Now listen, darling,

I'm terribly sorry about what happened

last night but there's a simple and logical explanation

for the whole thing.

Oh.

Why, I'm dying to hear it.

Well, while I was waiting for you to come and pick me up,

I was placing and receiving several important phone calls.

One of the secretaries of the men that I called,

told me that he was planning to call back here.

It was very important that I get the call,

so I grabbed a cab and I got back here as fast as I could.

You mean that's all there was to it?

Of course, what else would there be?

I don't know.

When I got to that airport and you weren't there,

I just began to imagine all sorts of terrible things.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, darling.

Will you be all right, you forgive me?

Oh, yes, now that I know that everything's all right.

You know what, I know what you're worried about.

The fact that I was alone here with a woman last night.

Alone with a woman?

Yes, when I arrived,

Carolyn's daughter was the only one here.

Where was Elizabeth?

According to Carolyn, she was called back

to Collinwood on important family business.

Is Carolyn all right?

Of course, why not?

Well, I, no reason, I just,

you know, she's been kind of ill at ease

ever since she got here.

Darling, I think, I think you're keeping

some deep, dark secret about your guest from me.

Why don't you tell me what it is?

[doorbell chimes]

Barnabas?

I didn't expect you here so soon.

Well, Carolyn called me earlier.

She's anxious to go back to Collinwood.

Carolyn's going back to Collinwood?

She wasn't planning to but something came up

that caused her to change her mind.

Barnabas, I'd like for you to meet my husband, Sky Rumson.

Sky, this is Barnabas Collins.

How do you do, Mr. Rumson?

My pleasure, Mr. Collins.

I understand you first met my wife in England.

Oh, yes, that was before you left England and came here,

wasn't it, Barnabas?

Yes, it's almost three years ago.

Sky would you go and tell Carolyn

that Barnabas is here, please?

Of course, certainly.

Will you excuse me?

Barnabas, is everything all right?

Yes, why do you ask?

Well, because Sky called me away

from the house last night.

I didn't get back until just now, just before you did.

With your husband?

No. No, no, there was a misunderstanding.

He got back long before I did but the whole time

I was driving back, I had this terrible feeling

that something awful had happened here.

Well, something almost did.

Jeb Hawkes was here last night.

Jeb was in this house?

For how long?

For about an hour.

He must have come and then left again before Sky got here.

I hate to think what would have happened

if Sky had caught him.

Barnabas, does Jeb know that you're

responsible for bringing Carolyn here?

Yes.

But fortunately, he...

Because of something that happened earlier,

he believes me to be completely loyal.

So therefore, it will make me,

it will make it easier for me to fight him.

Are you sure he believes you?

I'm positive.

Oh, Barnabas, please be careful.

I don't know this Jeb Hawkes,

but if he is what you say he is,

he's a very dangerous creature.

I'm very grateful to you Angelique.

I was glad to help you.

I'm very glad it's over.

It was a terrible week for me

with Carolyn and Elizabeth here.

Let me go see if I can help her pack.

[dramatic music]

[door opens]

Did your friends get off all right?

Yes, they should be nearly to the mainland now.

So, we're finally alone.

Mm-hmm.

Well, not really alone.

Well, what do you mean?

There's you, me, and the secrets

you've been keeping from me.

Secret?

Why, what secret?

Angelique, when I spoke to you last week

and you told me about the guest in the house,

it was obvious you were very worried.

Today when Barnabas Collins came to the house

to pick up Carolyn, I noticed it again,

you were very nervous.

No, I wasn't upset about that,

I was upset about what happened last night.

It was Barnabas Collins and it had something to do

with why he brought those people into this house.

Sky, I told you, Carolyn's father just died.

She had to get away from there.

She's been under a terrible emotional strain.

Angelique, she was fine when I talked to her

last night and also this morning.

Now, why did Barnabas Collins pick her up?

She's certainly old enough

to get back to the house by herself.

He was just concerned about her.

I'm concerned about us.

Sky, you needn't be.

SKY: We promised there wouldn't be any lies.

Lies?

SKY: Secrets.

Well, there have been no secrets, I swear there haven't.

Then what you've told me about the guests in the house,

that's all there was to it?

Carolyn's daughter was brought here for no other reason?

Angelique all I want is a simple yes or no.

Look at me and tell me.

Sky, I've have never kept any secrets from you

that concerned you and me.

You've got to believe that.

Then there was some other reason why Carolyn was here.

Yes, there was but please don't ask me what it was.

All right, if that's the way you're going to be,

we'll change the rules of the game.

What do you mean?

It's obvious that secrets are now allowed.

Sky, they left, they're gone,

we're not involved with them anymore.

I never was involved.

You were involved and I'm sorry that you don't

trust me enough to tell me what happened here.

I do trust you, of course I trust you.

Well, then tell me.

Let's get it out in the open and clear the air.

Let's go back to rule number one, darling.

No more secrets.

Okay, we're gonna do it your way.

I have some calls to make.

Sky, no, please wait.

All right.

All right I'll tell you everything I know.

Barnabas brought Carolyn here

because her life was in danger.

By whom?

In danger from the Leviathans,

they're terribly dangerous creatures,

completely evil and they mean to start a whole new society.

For a long time, Barnabas was associated with them

but now he's become their most dedicated enemy

and he means to use every power he has to stop them.

[wind howling]

[suspenseful music]

[bell ringing]

JEB: What are you doing here?

You know you're not to be seen here.

I thought you might like to know

the truth about Barnabas Collins.

In short, Barnabas Collins is out to destroy us and you,

especially you.

So, everything he told me this morning was a lie

and I thought he had saved my life.

Evidently, everything he told you was a lie.

Yeah, everything.

I'm grateful to you, Mr. Rumson, and to your wife.

Needless to say, she doesn't know I'm here.

She never will know.

What are you gonna do about Barnabas Collins?

Have you ever known a vampire, Mr. Rumson?

No.

Well, you will...

very soon.

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

Tell me, what happened this morning?

Is that man all right?

I'm sorry to say that he is.

What do you mean you're sorry?

His name is Jeb Hawkes, remember that name.

He's the most dangerous enemy you have.

You mean he knows about me.

He knows about the werewolf but he doesn't know it's you,

but between now and the next full moon,

he'll do everything he can to find out and when he does,

you're as good as dead, when the moon is full again.

I haven't found any other answer,

Barnabas, maybe this is it.

This Jeb Hawkes.

Maybe I should go introduce myself to him.

Tell him to make a clean job of it when the moon is full.

You're not going to do that, Chris.

I can't tell you everything now but I can tell you this,

that he is not only your enemy but he is mine

and he is Carolyn's and he is Sabrina's.

Sabrina, what does he have to do with her?

Nothing, except that she's human

and he's against all humanity.

What kind of a man is he?

A man who deserves to be destroyed

and I'm going to destroy him as soon as I can find the way.

[wind howling]

[rustling]

And here he is, Richard Fairbanks.

Hung for the m*rder of his wife and children years ago,

just the man to help me know,

just the place to make it happen.

Here at the unquiet grave of a m*rder*r,

next to a hangman's work,

I beseech the dark spirits of the underworld

to hear me and to release from its fiery depths

the avenger I need to strike down the traitor

Barnabas Collins, enemy to us all and especially to me.

No death is suitable for a m*rder*r,

but for Barnabas Collins, there has to be more.

More!

More!
