955 - February 19, 1970

[ominous music]

VOICEOVER:It is night at Collinwood

and once again night is the only time

that Barnabas Collins can know

Through the betrayal of another,

the curse of the living dead has been reinflicted upon him.

Earlier this night, he learned the name

of the man who betrayed him.

He then went to a house on an island off the coast

to warn Angelique that her husband was the man.

She refused to believe him,

but later when she saw her husband

with the nefarious Nicholas Blair,

she realized Barnabas had been telling the truth.

[dramatic music]

ANGELIQUE: Sky, what are you doing?

I wanted it to work out.

I really wanted you to be with me,

and I'm sorry you can't.

Goodbye Angelique.

[screaming]

[eerie music]

Nicholas Blair sent you here to k*ll me.

You're not one of us,

and you never can be

You don't know what you're doing, Scott.

Don't make this anymore difficult

than it already is for me.

I beg you, please don't make,

don't make me fight you.

If you could fight me, I would've gotten

it over with by now.

I just wanted to look at you one more time.

Nicholas didn't tell you very much about me, did he?

Only that you and he had met before.

I'll give you one more chance,

please let me go and I'll promise you

I'll leave this house and I'll never see you again.

Don't be afraid, it'll be over very quickly.

[gasping]

ANGELIQUEL: Put the poker in the fire, Scott!

What's happening to me?

ANGELIQUEL: Do as I tell you,

or I'll make it worse!

How, how are you able to do this?

What are you anyway?

ANGELIQUEL: Ask your friend, Nicholas Blair.

[screams]

[ominous music]

Maybe it was all wrong from the beginning.

We both kept from each other, our darkest secrets.

I wish it could've worked out,

'cause I really did love you, Scott.

[dramatic music]

BARNABUS: I'm waiting for you Maggie.

You must respond.

You must come to me.

Now.

Barnabus?

Barnabus, what are you doing here?

BARNABUS: I came here hoping I could see you.

It's the strangest thing, I was sound asleep

and then I suddenly woke up and I had the feeling

that I had to come here.

BARNABUS: I'm glad.

I had to talk to you.

Barnabus, you see very different,

have you been ill?

No, I'm just tired, but I had to see you tonight.

Why?

Well, because I wanted to,

I was concerned about your safety and,

because I've missed you.

I've missed you too, Barnabas.

So many terrible things have happened

here since Jeb arrived.

I guess I hoped that you'd be able to stop him.

I hope I don't disappoint you, Maggie.

I'm sure you won't.

Barnabas, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Barnabas, did I say something to disturb you?

No, not at all.

Maggie, there's something I want you to have.

Something that's very dear to me.

I want you to consider it as,

a token of our deep friendship.

Barnabas.

Barnabas, it's so difficult to understand you.

Sometimes you seem so warm,

and other times I feel I don't even know you.

Maggie, believe me please.

Believe me when I say,

how much I care for you.

[dramatic music]

Excuse me!

MAGGIE: Oh!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Barnabas, I've got to talk to you right away.

Miss Evans, would you excuse us please.

Maggie, you'd better go inside.

I'll get in touch with you tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night Barnabas.

I don't have to ask what would've happened

if I hadn't arrived when I did.

No, you don't.

But, Barnabas, you've got to stay away from Maggie.

In your present state you can only hurt her, you know that.

I know that!

But I can't help myself.

All right, we don't have time to talk about it right now.

The sun will be up any minute.

I'm going to go to the old house with you.

What for?

Joe is having trouble locating Willie Loomis.

I'm going to go there during the day until she can find him.

Let's go.

[ominous music]

[banging at door]

[ominous music]

[banging at door]

[ominous music]

Well, don't just stand there, Quentin.

Kiss me.

[dramatic music]

Kiss me.

You never meant it before,

but you used to do a lot better than that.

We're not going to resume our friendship

on a sour note, are we?

It's all right, I forgive you.

We're both a great deal older,

and I hope one of us at least is wiser.

I am now.

That makes two of us.

Barnabas said you hadn't grown any older

and he was right.

You look exactly as you did the night I told you goodbye.

So do you.

It's been a long time.

Yes.

Oh, I remember you saying that we would meet again.

And we have.

Why have we?

Oh, Quentin, don't look so apprehensive.

Actually, I came here hoping that I'd be able

to see Barnabas, that I'd be in time,

but obviously, I'm not.

What do you mean obviously?

I saw him earlier this evening.

I know what's happened to him.

He was at the island last night?

Yes.

Yes, he came there just after he found out that the person

who betrayed him to Jeb Hawkes, was my husband.

Your husband?

Barnabas has told you all about the Leviathans, hasn't he?

Yes.

Sky was one of them, before I met him.

I left him tonight and I'm never going back to him.

Angelique, I'm sorry.

What are your plans now?

I have none.

If I can be of any help.

No, that's all right, Quentin.

There's nothing you can do.

The truth is my interest in you in the past

was never more than a device intended to upset Barnabas.

I was very good at devices, always have been.

Perhaps, in spite of my feelings for Sky,

Barnabas has always been my one true love.

I'm sorry that you got here too late to see him.

I plan to spend the day here

and see him later this evening, if you don't object?

No, no that'll be fine.

You're very tired.

Why don't you go upstairs and get some rest?

There's plenty of room up there.

Yes, I think I will.

Good.

It feels good to be back in this house.

I once knew it so well.

I lived here, laughed.

For awhile I was very happy.

This is where it all started, Quentin.

I'll sleep in...

I'll sleep in Josette's room.

[ominous music]

[banging at door]

[ominous music]

[banging at door]

QUENTIN: All right.

What can I do for you?

My name is Skyler Rumson.

I believe I can find my wife here?

Who told you that?

May I ask who you are?

Quentin: Quentin Collins.

May I come in, Mr. Collins?

You may, if your wife's here.

But I haven't said she's here.

ANGELIQUEL: It's all right, Quentin.

I'll see him.

Won't you come right on in?

Angelique, I've got to talk to you, alone.

Do you, want me to leave or stay?

It's all right, Quentin. You can leave.

Sky, what is it?

I've been with Nicholas Blair all day.

He's told me the truth about you.

Oh, I was surprised he didn't tell you

the truth last night before you almost got yourself k*lled.

Listen, you think everything has been changed,

but it hasn't.

I still love you.

How can you say that after last night?

If I hadn't stopped you, you would've k*lled me.

I'm trying to tell you it's different now.

I've convinced Nicholas of how I feel about you.

I've told him I want you to come back to me.

And he's agreed.

Nicholas never agrees to anything unless

there are conditions attached.

The only condition is that you become one of us,

that you'd be on our side.

What if I tell you that I want no part

of one of your side, or of Nicholas Blair?

What if I tell you that I will come back

only if you'll become your own man again.

It's too late for that, Angelique.

Well then you don't really love me.

I don't think we have anything more to say to each other.

Go and tell your master, that my answer is no.

Get out of here, Sky.

Go on, leave!

I believe you'll, be with us one day.

And I'll be waiting for you.

[ominous music]

[door slamming]

[ominous music]

Quentin told me you were here.

Yes, Quentin has been very kind and understanding.

You were right about everything, Barnabas.

I've been a complete fool.

You'd rather not go into it.

I can't help but talk about it when I...

when everything that's happened to you is my fault.

I told Sky all about you.

I trusted him.

I never dreamed that he would betray you.

But you had no way of knowing.

I realized that you didn't do this to hurt me deliberately.

Yes, I did, the first time.

That's a long time ago.

It's best forgotten.

Yes.

It's so ironic, how it happened in the same identical way.

I can't help but think, Barnabas, that...

it must mean something for you and for me.

Then it does, perhaps, means that,

we could become closer friends than we were before.

Perhaps it means that we can start again.

Start at the beginning as we did the first time.

Angelique.

Barnabas, we have so much in common, we're both outcasts.

Surely you must've realized it just as I did

that neither of us has any chance for a normal life

when Nicholas Blair came back into the picture.

Nicholas Blair?

Didn't you know he was here?

No.

He was the visitor that came,

last evening at the house while you were there.

As soon as I saw Nicholas with Sky,

I knew everything you had told me was the truth.

I must find Maggie and warn her about Nicholas Blair.

He almost k*lled her once.

You seem very concerned about Maggie Evans.

- Yes. - ANGELIQUEL: Why, Barnabas?

Well, Maggie was involved with Nicholas once,

and it almost meant the end of her.

Wait here.

I must go for Maggie.

We have much more to talk about.

[dramatic music]

Nicholas Blair is back.

I don't know what to say.

Have you spoken to him?

No, I haven't, but I thought

you should know immediately.

He's in league with Jeb and the others.

And Jeb was bound to tell them that you're one of them

and well, Nicholas will want to come here and see you.

Don't worry, Barnabas, I think I know what to do.

Be very careful.

Be very, very careful.

He's a dangerous man and if he ever finds out

that you are not on his side, your life will be in jeopardy,

and I wouldn't want that to happen to you, Maggie.

You mean far too much to me.

[ominous music]

Now look, I know there's no law that says you have

to take my advice, but I think it's wise

that you stay away from Barnabas Collins.

And look, I'm telling you this

for your own good and for his.

Why?

You know the people that he was involved with.

They're out to k*ll him, Maggie.

And if they know that you are seeing him,

they may do it through you.

I'd never do anything to hurt Barnabas.

That's not what I'm saying.

What I mean is they may decide to use you to trap him.

[ominous music]

You asked if there was any way you could help me, Quentin.

Well, there is.

Only, you'll never be aware of it.

I am what I was

and what I shall always be.

I call upon the powers of darkness

to help me once again.

Make a flame where there was no flame before

and let that flame transmit the power of love

to those who look into it.

Mr. Collins, I appreciate

your concern for Barnabas and me.

But you intend on seeing him.

Yes.

And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

How did,

how did that happen?

I don't know.

Quentin Collins and Maggie Evans,

you will look into the flame as though

it were a mirror to the future.

Your future is there.

Your future is love.

There's no turning back now.

You must both accept it.

You are both prisoners of your love for each other.

Maggie?

Yes, Quentin?

What's happening to us?

I don't know.

[ominous music]

Quentin Collins and Maggie Evans,

this is the sign that binds you.

This is the sign of your love for each other,

and whenever it appears, no power on earth

can keep you apart.

This is crazy.

I don't understand it anymore than you do.

Whatever it is, I have a feeling that it's right.

So do I.

It can't be.

It can't be.

Then why don't we have the desire to fight it?
