1005 - April 30, 1970

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:The lights of Collinwood

gleam into the night mist,

unable to disperse or penetrate the mysteries

enveloping the proud estate.

For this is that other Collinwood, in Parallel Time.

And it is here that Barnabas Collins lies c*ptive

in a chained coffin,

while around him events of infinite dread

stride unchecked toward a cl*max of horror

as the ghost of Dameon Edwards

makes his portentous intrusion into Quentin Collins' dreams.

I want,

I want--

What?

I want for you to know--

To know what?

How it will end!

[shadowy music]

Yes, Quentin,

it is you!

[ominous music]

QUENTIN VOICEOVER: I had to do this,

to be with the one I love.

[creepy music]

[Dameon laughing]

[eerie music]

No Dameon, no!

[mysterious music]

It was only a nightmare.

I've gotta get that out of my mind.

Gotta have a drink.

Forget about it.

The note.

I had to do this to be with the one I love.

Dameon.

Dameon?

Dameon, was it only a dream?

Dameon?

Dameon!

[creepy music]

Up in the attic room?

And what will I see?

[mysterious music]

Dameon.

Dameon!

What are you trying to tell me?

Are you here?

Dameon, what does it mean?

[trembling music]

I tried the tarot cards.

They told me nothing.

Nothing at all.

Their silence frightens me more than anything else.

Oh Hannah, you won't need the tarot cards this time.

I will tell you what to do.

HANNAH: What is it?

You look frightened too.

ANGELIQUE: Frightened?

Don't be ridiculous!

But you are disturbed.

Annoyed, perhaps.

Oh, charming Dameon!

He always annoyed me so much when he was alive,

and he's annoying me now!

HANNAH: How?

I can sense him here in the house.

I sense his presence here.

Don't you?

Yes, he's near.

Very near.

But there's nothing I can do about it!

ANGELIQUE: Yes, yes there is.

It's dangerous, Angelique!

Alexis!

How many times must I tell you?

Only call me Alexis!

I'm sorry,

but Alexis, this is much too dangerous for me.

Nonsense!

Now you listen to me, and you listen carefully.

Hannah!

When did you get here?

I was just going to phone you.

Good evening, Quentin.

I've got to talk to you.

Alone.

Alexis, would you mind?

Why no, no, of course not.

We will continue our talk later, Hannah.

There's not any danger, is there?

No, none that I know of.

Hannah!

I'm coming, Quentin.

Dameon.

Yes, you are near.

I feel it.

And I suspect that we shall meet,

very soon.

[haunting music]

I'd appreciate another delivery tomorrow.

Another?

So soon?

Can you do it?

Of course, of course.

Your experiment must be moving along very nicely,

especially considering the amount of the quantity

of the compound you're using.

Am I correct?

The experiment is continuing.

Successfully?

The delivery tomorrow can be accepted by Miss Stuart.

I don't think that I'm going to be here.

You still won't discuss this project, will you?

I would think that's the case, isn't it?

Can I ask you one thing,

that only has to do with the purity of the compound?

What's that?

In the beginning you mentioned difficulty with memory.

You indicated that the compound caused amnesia.

Is this still the case?

The compound is working quite successfully.

Were you always so averse to giving direct answers?

I've always been adverse

to unnecessary interruptions in my work.

Now if you'll excuse me.

If you wish.

Oh.

Oh, that delightful painting, it's gone.

CYRUS: Apparently.

I rather liked it.

I hope it wasn't stolen.

Mr. Gladstone, do you always imagine a crime

in even the most simple act?

I moved the painting to another room.

Now may I rely on you for the delivery tomorrow?

You may always rely on me, Dr. Longworth.

[foreboding music]

Now I know it was only a dream,

but believe me, it had a reality to it beyond dreams.

Dameon Edwards brought you here?

To this room?

Yes, and then I saw myself,

hanging from that beam.

What is it you want me to do?

I want you to summon the ghost of Dameon Edwards!

No, no, I can't do that!

QUENTIN: Yes, you can and you know it!

No, I don't have that power.

QUENTIN: Yes, you do!

Quentin, please.

There are some things better left alone.

How can you say that?

Now, Hannah, I have got to find out

what he's trying to tell me!

If it were something he wanted you to hear,

he would find a way to say it without me--

Hannah!

He has prophesized my death.

Hanging by suicide.

Now, I have got to find out!

I can't help you.

You can summon the spirit of Dameon Edwards!

I can't!

QUENTIN: Hannah, summon him!

I...

[loud banging]

Oh, I don't have the power!

But I don't need to summon him!

He's here!

[Hannah screams]

[chandelier squeaking]

[heartbeat pulsating]

[object hitting floor]

Oh!

[chandelier squeaking] [heartbeat pulsating]

Now do you see how dangerous this is?

Please, let's go back downstairs!

It isn't safe here!

What is it?

Dameon!

Dameon!

Dameon, listen.

Is it a true prophecy?

What are you trying to tell me?

[spooky music]

What are you trying to say?

Now, look, can't you speak?

Now, look, is there any way that I can understand you?

Quentin, please!

Tell him to go away and leave all of us alone!

No, not 'til he answers my question.

Now, Dameon, please.

Is the prophecy about my death true?

Now I have to know!

Dameon, no!

No, don't go, Dameon!

No!

I won't be gone for long.

I just wanted to make sure everything was all right.

All right?

Since we decided to do what was necessary

with Angelique's body.

Oh, why I don't think there's anything wrong, Cyrus.

I'm sure that we all did the right thing.

Yes, so am I.

It's just that--

Just that what?

No, nothing,

I just wanted to make sure everything was all right.

Make sure?

And are you?

Yes, yes, I am.

[ominous music]

I don't want you to say a word of this to Alexis.

She's frightened.

I'll say nothing.

I want you to swear to it.

I promise you--

Swear it, I said!

I swear it!

Quentin, I was hoping it would be you.

Good evening, Miss Stokes.

Good evening, Doctor.

Cyrus has come to say goodbye.

He's going away for a few days.

Can you stay for just a few minutes, Cyrus?

I'd like to talk to you.

Yes.

Alexis, why don't we leave them alone

and we can continue our chat upstairs in your room.

If you like.

CYRUS: Quentin, what's wrong?

I want to know if it's possible

for you to postpone your trip?

Oh no, no no no, I'm sorry,

it's not possible.

It's much too urgent.

QUENTIN: Cyrus, things have not been going well.

Oh?

The spirit of Dameon Edwards is back in this house.

Now he's trying to tell me something, warn me.

But I can't figure it out!

Oh, Quentin, I hate to go away when I feel I'm needed

but you see that this trip does have to do with work.

QUENTIN: You're leaving tonight?

Yes.

All right then, very well.

I won't hold you up.

Call me when you get back

and perhaps I'll have something else to say.

Are you sure that there's no danger?

No, absolutely no danger.

Just a lot of confusion.

I'll have to find a way to fight my way out of it.

Good day.

Good day.

Oh and Cyrus!

Talking about confusion,

there was something that's been puzzling me lately.

You know the other evening

when you had to leave so abruptly?

Oh, yes, yes, I'm sorry about that.

Did you get my note?

QUENTIN: Yes, and I also found...

No, it's not worth mentioning.

No, tell me.

Apparently you started a first note

which you threw away and Amy found it.

The handwriting...

[laughs] It's all very ridiculous now.

No, no, I want to know!

The handwriting on both notes,

it was different, but it was yours.

Similar, but distinctly different.

Or am I imagining all this?

No no no no, not at all.

I was in such a hurry that night

that I found myself scribbling illegibly and I--

No, it wasn't so much illegible as...

As what?

You're right, it's all very stupid of me.

You scribbled it and so it was different.

Have a good trip.

Thank you.

[ominous music]

So that's what Dameon is trying to do.

Tell Quentin the truth.

He won't be able to.

How are we going to stop him?

I want you to go home.

Come back here immediately

and bring with you the candles--

No!

Yes, the candles of the seventh secret.

No!

Yes, Hannah!

If we use those candles and fail, I will be destroyed!

You will bring them here immediately!

Or have you already forgotten our little bargain?

Please!

Do as you are told!

He's here!

Dameon, I can feel his presence!

Yes.

Yes, Dameon, you are here.

I sense it.

But soon it will be more than just a feeling.

We shall meet, you and I,

face to face.

At your grave.

[dreadful music]

[suspenseful music]

CYRUS VOICEOVER: I've tried to resist,

but I can't anymore!

I've got to be John Yaeger tonight.

[creepy music]

What about my friends who need me?

Quentin, Alexis.

What about Sabrina?

And the work I should be doing.

My experiment, to bring out all that is good in man.

What became of that?

Why don't I just drop this beaker and smash it?

Yes, why don't I?

[troubled music]

Why?

Because I don't want to.

[uneasy music]

[terror-stricken music]

[spooky music]

This way.

I can tell.

We're getting nearer and nearer

to the place where they put the body.

HANNAH: Yes, I can feel it too!

Nearer and nearer!

This way.

Follow me now!

This way.

[eerie music]

[suspenseful music]

Oh I'm sorry, I was just about to knock.

Will you tell Dr. Longworth that Horace Gladstone is here?

The doctor isn't here, and you shouldn't be either!

He was expecting a very special delivery.

Tomorrow, not tonight.

How did you know that?

The good doctor told me.

Who, may I ask, are you?

John Yaeger, if that's any of your business.

And what relationship are you to Dr. Longworth?

JOHN: I'm assisting in his new experiment.

He never mentioned an assistant.

In fact, he always stressed the fact that he worked alone.

Perhaps he was trying to tell you

to mind your own business!

Now why don't you just give me this?

No, that's for Dr. Longworth alone,

or Miss Stuart.

Would you call her?

She's not here.

But I can fully assure you

that I am authorized to accept it.

But I must have that assurance from Dr. Longworth.

Maybe I should just take it from you.

HORACE: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Really?

I don't think Dr. Longworth would approve.

What if I don't give a hoot

about Dr. Longworth's approval, hmm?

If you're Dr. Longworth's assistant,

you surely must know how important my compound is

to his experiment.

And if I am threatened in any way,

my cooperation will cease immediately.

Do I make myself clear?

Very.

Well then I'll just bid you goodnight, Mr. Yaeger.

[wicked music]

[cane breaking]

[door slamming]

Yes, I remember.

There's a panel here.

Please, you don't need me here.

You can exorcise his spirit without me!

No one will know you were the one who did it!

ANGELIQUE: Hannah, I should think you'd welcome

the chance to prove all that you've learned.

Yes here, it's right here!

[spooky music]

Bring the candles!

HANNAH: No!

Well then give them to me!

[trembling music]

Oh!

HANNAH: I can't stay here!

It's too dangerous for me!

Hannah!

HANNAH: No!

[scary music]

Then I will do it myself.

Watch closely, Dameon,

as I light the candles.

And when the seventh one is lit,

you will appear to me.

We shall be here together,

face to face, you and I.

Watch now.

Watch closely.

[spooky music]
