1033 - June 9, 1970

[bunniefuu]

[eerie music]

NARRATOR: Collinwood, as it exists

in the disturbing world of parallel time,

where Barnabas Collins has deliberately returned

to continue his search for Maggie Collins.

On this night, however, the danger to his own existence

increases as the treacherous housekeeper, Hoffman,

follows him to Loomis House at the bidding of Angelique,

in an attempt to discover the secret

that lies at the source of his power.

- Will?

Are you here?

I need you.

[deep bass music]

Will?

[eerie music]

[eerie music]

VOICEOVER: A secret room.

What could be inside it?

I can't risk trying to find out now.

I'll come back when I know he's out of the house.

Then, maybe I'll know what his secret is.

[suspenseful music]

VOICEOVER: Well, I shall have to find Maggie

without Will's help.

If I find the one who's hiding Maggie, I can use this

rather than take the chance of revealing my powers.

Not even the jaw of the wolf itself is more devastating

than this cane, and it's in my hands.

[suspenseful music]

VOICEOVER: It won't work.

Now I can't give up.

I've got to keep working 'til I get it open!

Hurry, he'll be back soon.

Please.

Please let me get this open.

Please.

Please!

[door opening, closing]

SABRINA: I feel so stupid

not to remember where I left it.

I'm sorry to cause you all this trouble.

ELIZABETH: Don't worry about me.

If your wallet isn't here,

it's no trouble at all to go back Collinwood.

- I'm as stupid as I thought I was.

It's here all the time.

- Are you sure you won't come back

to Collinwood with me and have a little supper?

- Oh, thank you, no.

I think I'll just go home.

Thanks also for the concert, it was lovely.

- Was it?

I have the feeling that neither one of us heard a note.

- It was hard to concentrate.

- Don't worry.

Cyrus will be back in town soon,

and you'll feel much better.

- Yes.

- You miss him a lot, don't you?

- I try not to think about him very much

while he's out of town.

- I don't understand young people anymore.

Maggie running off and leaving Quentin.

Cyrus going away the way he does.

- Please!

Liz, it's all right.

Shall we go?

[door opening, closing]

[loud footsteps]

- Well, good evening, ladies.

Good evening, Miss Stuart.

Good evening, Mrs. Stoddard.

- Have we met? I'm sorry, I don't remember.

- No, we haven't been formally introduced.

But who could fail to recognize the

legendary beauty of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard?

- You're most kind.

- Elizabeth, this is Mr. Yaeger.

Mr. John Yaeger.

- A close associate of Dr. Longwood's.

Isn't that right, Miss Stuart?

- Yes.

- How do you do, Mr. Yaeger?

- Oh, my pleasure.

Uh, Miss Stuart, as long as we're here together,

I was wondering if you'd like to

go over some data if you wouldn't mind.

- No, of course not.

- Well, in that case, I'll go home.

If I hear from Maggie, I'll let you know.

- Please.

ELIZABETH: Good night, Mr, uh.

- Yaeger.

John Yaeger.

ELIZABETH: Don't bother, I can let myself out.

[serious music]

JOHN: All right.

What was she doing in the lab?

- We went to a concert, I left my purse here, we came back.

- Were you planning to tell her

something you shouldn't have?

- You know I wouldn't do that, Cyrus. You...

- I told you never to call me that ridiculous name again!

- Why won't you let me help you?

- But I am going to let you help me.

[suspenseful music]

Have you ever seen, Sabrina,

the wardrobe of the Sartorial John Yaeger?

I want you to take these, and I want you to send them

to New York, care of General Delivery tomorrow morning.

- You're going to New York?

- Then, after you have taken this check, you send it to the

bank and get a certified check in the name of John Yaeger,

and send it, General Delivery in New York.

- But this is...

This is your whole account!

Are you going to New York for good?

- Only momentarily.

But after that, there's a great,

big exciting world out there, Miss Stuart.

Isn't it a pity that Cyrus never knew?

- Don't go!

- Oh, now don't tell me you're going to miss me too?

Or is it the good doctor you're going to miss?

Well, you'll miss me whether I go or stay,

Sabrina, because Cyrus is never coming back, ever.

[door slamming]

[eerie music]

- Will there be anything else, Mrs. Stoddard?

- No, thank you, Hoffman.

- Uh, Mrs. Stoddard?

Have you seen Mr. Barnabas this evening since you came home?

- No, I haven't, why?

- Oh, it's not important, but he sometimes comes late in the

evening and I like to be able to get him whatever he wants.

- Oh, I doubt very much if he comes tonight.

He's out searching for Maggie.

- Yes, yes, I heard that he's convinced

that something terrible has happened to her.

[scoff] I don't think it very likely.

ELIZABETH: No, neither do I.

Particularly after she sent that note to Mr. Quentin.

Mr. Barnabas believes none of it.

- Mr. Barnabas is a rather unusual man.

ELIZABETH: Yes he is,

when it come to Mrs. Collins.

- I just don't understand why Mr. Quentin didn't check his

background more thoroughly, that whole story about Peru.

- Hoffman, Mr. Barnabas is a member of the Collins family.

That name alone indicates integrity.

Please remember that.

HOFFMAN: Yes, Mrs. Stoddard, of course.

ELIZABETH: She's right, though.

Barnabas is a little strange.

This insistence of his that something's happened to Maggie,

for no reason whatsoever, with no proof at all.

Well, where ever she is, I hope she's all right.

[serious music]

[door opening, slamming]

[screaming]

[suspenseful music]

- Maggie!

- Mrs. Stoddard, did you call?

- No, Hoffman.

- You're not going out at this hour?

- Yes.

- But Mrs. Stoddard, where?

VOICEOVER: She called out Maggie's name.

But why?

[suspenseful music]

[shrieking]

JOHN: I hope you're not thinking of leaving, my dear.

[suspenseful music]

[crying]

- Well, who would have thought that little Maggie Evans

was alive and a hypocrite!

- Please, I'm not feeling well.

- All the more reason to keep you out of the night air.

- I wasn't trying to escape.

- Do you expect me to believe that?

- I thought I heard someone upstairs, and I thought

it was you, and then I tried the door, and it was open.

- Oh?

Perhaps with this curious little object?

Now that was very careless of you.

- I...

What are you going to do?

- I'm going to cure you of your restlessness.

[sobbing]

- No, you're not going to tie me up!

No, I won't run away, I promise!

I said I'd go away with you.

I wasn't lying, I meant it!

- You are going away with me.

I'm just going to make sure that

you have nothing to come back to.

- What do you mean?

- Maybe you'll be more receptive

to John Yaeger if there's no Quentin Collins

waiting for you at Collinwood, huh?

- I don't understand.

- There won't be any Quentin Collins, except in the grave!

- No!

No, please!

Don't!

MAGGIE: Please don't hurt Quentin!

JOHN: He won't feel a thing.

MAGGIE: Oh, please!

Please don't hurt Quentin!

Please!

Please, I beg you!

[suspenseful music]

- Did you find any trace of Maggie?

- No, why do you ask?

- Well, I knew you'd been searching for her.

- Well, I wasn't aware that you regarded her as missing.

- Well, I wasn't until a little while ago.

- Oh, what happened?

- I had a terrible dream about Maggie.

It seemed so real to me.

It still seems real.

- Come and sit down and tell me a little.

- I was in Cyrus's laboratory with Sabrina.

We were just coming in.

Everything was broken to pieces.

- Yes?

We came downstairs.

Sabrina saw her first, lying there,

everything torn up and broken around her.

- Maggie?

- Yes.

She was dead!

- In Cyrus's laboratory?

- That's easily explained.

I had been in Cyrus's laboratory

earlier this evening with Sabrina.

We went to a concert together.

- And everything was in order then?

- In perfect order.

- Maggie in Cyrus's laboratory?

- Perhaps it was meeting

that Mr. Yaeger there tonight.

- Yaeger? - Yes.

- You met John Yaeger? - Yes.

He's a perfectly dreadful man.

He made the whole laboratory seem

as though it was filled with something...

- Evil?

- Yes.

- So, Yaeger is back.

- Barnabas?

Do you think Yaeger has something

to do with Maggie's disappearance? Do you?

- There's only one way to find out.

- But Maggie doesn't even know him, does she?

- Come, Elizabeth, I'll take you back to the house.

- Barnabas?

What is the connection between Maggie and Yaeger?

- Well, I hope I'll be able to find out very soon.

[eerie music]

- Why should I gag you?

You can yell all you want.

Nobody's going to hear us.

[clattering object]

- Who's there?

MAGGIE: Hello?

Help, please.

Help!

Help!

Help!

JOHN: What's this?

The check I made out for Sabrina

so she could send money to New York.

Sabrina!

She followed me, she knows.

[suspenseful music]

BARNABUS: Clothes?

But they wouldn't belong to Cyrus.

Yes, to Yaeger!

But, why here, in Cyrus's laboratory?

There's a connection, and I've got to find out what it is!

It could lead me to Maggie.

[engine purring, braking]

- Quentin?

Elizabeth?

Quentin?

[suspenseful music]

[clattering]

- What did you do that for? - Because I felt like it.

So, you do have the exploratory mind

of a scientist, don't you?

Except that it leads to rather dangerous places, doesn't it?

- Why did you come here?

- Curiously enough, I was going

to ask you the same question.

- I was out driving and I realized

that Elizabeth wanted to see me so I stopped by.

- Is Elizabeth here now?

- Well, yes, of course she is.

- Well, who were you making that phone call to?

SABRINA: I was calling your caretaker.

I thought maybe the lab had been left open.

- Ah, yes, I can see how that might worry you.

- Well, I guess I'll go see Elizabeth.

- Oh, one question before you go.

Were you planning to go to the bank tomorrow,

and do as I said with the check, huh?

- Yes, of course I was.

- Oh.

Did you leave it in a nice, safe place?

- Well I'm positive that I did.

I, uh, put it in the desk drawer in the lab.

I locked it.

- Well, that's strange because I wonder what this is.

It was left on the stairway to the basement.

- I dropped it.

- I never knew that you were that dumb and stupid.

- What are you going to do?

- I think you know what I'm going to do.

- But why are you doing what you are to Maggie?

Now what has she done to you?

Please, let her go!

- Now, you don't think I'd be that foolish

to let someone like that go, who knows what I've done?

- What do you mean?

- You know precisely what I mean.

- You...

You are going to k*ll me.

- How perceptive of you.

- Look, Cyrus, there's still time to change back.

All you have to do is reconstruct the antidote.

- It's impossible.

Do you know why? - No.

- Because Cyrus is the only person in the world

who can do it.

- But you could change! - Do you see any Cyrus in me?

- There's not a trace in my body - Yes, there is!

- In my soul! Nowhere!

- Yes, there is, Cyrus! - There's no Cyrus left!

- And don't you call me Cyrus, because Cyrus is dead.

He's dead, and you're never going to see him again!

Never!

Never!

Never!
