NARRATOR:Collinwood, as it looks in the present.

Barnabas Collins and Julia Hoffman are still searching

desperately for a way to avert the catastrophe

that threatens to destroy the great house in .

But as events unfold,

they both fear that they are fighting a losing battle.

On this night, they have removed two children

from the house to the sanitarium at Windcliff.

Both children have been possessed by spirits

from the th century, and Julia will soon discover

that even at Windcliff,

their lives are still in grave danger.

What is it?

Nothing, I just thought I heard something.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

I just told you that David's sound asleep.

Now look, I think we ought to go back to your office

and phone Stokes.

Perhaps he'll know some way of battling

this supernatural thing.

It's worth a chance.

Oh, all right.

But let me check in...

Oh, now there's no need.

But I'm the doctor, Quentin.

Julia.

Quentin, what is wrong with you?

I am going into that room.

Now leave the boy alone!

Daphne!

[dramatic music]

[eerie music]

You must get out of this room!

Here, hold him!

- Let go of me! - Stop it!

- Hold him! - Let go of me!

David, now listen. It's no use!

You're alive!

How is that possible?

Please leave us alone.

Who brought you to life?

Who's responsible?

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

I've got to know how this happened to you.

Gerard!

Is he alive too?

Answer me!

No, he's not alive!

Quentin, please try to make her understand.

JULIA: You knew that he wasn't asleep!

You knew that she was in this room!

Julia, what Daphne is doing,

is the only way to save the children.

Take him out of the room.

I want to talk to Daphne alone.

Now listen to me!

Take him to my office,

call Dr. Thompson and have him examined.

QUENTIN: Tad, I think you'd better come with me.

Don't make me go.

Daphne, I don't have to go, do I?

You go with Quentin.

We will see each other again, very soon.

QUENTIN: Come on.

[door closes]

Who's responsible for bringing you back to life?

You've never seen me before.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I know a great deal more than you think I do,

and you will answer all the questions I ask.

I'm sorry, I have nothing to say to you.

Unless something is done to stop Gerard,

the house will be in ruins, the family will disappear

and the children will die!

None of that will happen.

None of it if you'll just leave me alone here

with the children tonight.

At this moment, I'm the only hope they have

of staying alive.

Oh, you're talking about Tad and Carrie.

I'm talking about David and Hallie.

I...

Their lives must be restored.

There's nothing I can do for David and Hallie anymore.

There is a great deal that you can do to help.

Now, I want you to come to the Old House with me

and tell me everything you know about Gerard

and the two children.

The children will die.

Quentin will be destroyed.

If I go with you, what happens to the children now?

They will remain here and they will be well taken care of.

I give you my word.

Now will you come with me?

All right, all right.

I'll go.

But I'm not going to let you destroy Tad and Carrie

to bring David and Hallie back.

JULIA: I think you want what

is really best for the children.

Sooner or later, you will help us in order to

allow them to survive.

[dramatic music]

[wind howling]

[suspenseful music]

How you hate being here, don't you?

I just don't see what good can come of it.

You know, you've got to learn to trust Dr. Hoffman

because she knows what she's talking about.

Couldn't you have stopped her from bringing me here?

Perhaps.

But I didn't want to.

Quentin, you know my place is with Tad and Carrie.

Yes, and I also know that you are dedicated

to bringing Gerard back to life.

Not because it's what I want.

I know that.

You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking and...

Well, I've decided that...

no good can come by bringing Gerard back to life.

JULIA: Well, it sounds like you're making sense.

How are you today, Daphne?

She's afraid... of what might happen to the children.

And she's frightened, understandably so.

The children will be all right.

They're well cared for and protected, I give you my word.

And you, too.

Barnabas will be here tonight.

Now, we're not going to wait until tonight

to get started, are we?

I thought you had a plan of some kind.

No, the day won't be wasted.

I want Stokes to come here and talk to Daphne.

Well then, I'll go to Collinwood and call him.

Is he at home or the university?

I don't know, you'd better try both places.

I'm anxious to find out if anything has come up

about his going to Europe.

I don't understand.

Neither did Barnabas and I,

but when we were in the future,

Stokes said that he wasn't here at the time

of the disaster at Collinwood.

He said he was in Europe.

When we came back here, we asked Stokes about that

and he said he had no intention whatsoever

of going to Europe or anywhere else.

Must things always happen the way they happened

the first time?

JULIA: Well, they have been happening that way.

That's what's so frightening.

All right, all right, I'll go call him.

[mysterious music]

But where have they taken Daphne?

And how long are they going to keep us here?

I don't know.

But if they think we're safe here, they're wrong.

What do you mean?

Do you remember what Daphne told us?

She said the only way we would be safe

is if we brought Gerard back to life.

But we can't do that without Daphne.

And if Gerard stays dead,

he will haunt us, for the rest of our lives.

Or he'll k*ll us first.

Oh, Tad, I'm so frightened!

Don't be.

We must think of something to do.

It's all been such a dreadful mistake.

What has?

We would've been better off like Gerard.

Don't say that!

We're lucky to be...to be alive

and we're gonna remain that way!

How?

If only I could see some hope!

Look at me.

There is no hope as long as we remain here.

So we aren't gonna remain here.

What do you mean?

We're gonna run away from Windcliff tonight.

[dramatic music]

There's, there's so much you could tell me

if you were only willing to.

Why won't you trust me?

I'm sure you mean well.

It isn't a matter of trusting you.

Well then, what is it?

You're attempting to deal with a power

that's far beyond your control.

Well, it might not be beyond my control

if I knew more about Gerard.

Don't you understand that?

No, I only understand the price one pays for defying him.

I tried it once and he made the children suffer for it.

I will not try it again.

Were you ever in love with him in the past?

I find that question irrelevant, Dr. Hoffman.

What bearing could that possibly have

on the welfare of the children now?

That depends on the answer, doesn't it?

[spooky music]

We're safe now.

I'm not so sure.

I think the nurse saw us when we left.

If she had, she would've called to us.

Don't worry, nobody saw us.

Well, we'd better be going anyway.

It'll...

It'll be soon that they discover we're not there.

I know, but, let's just catch our second wind.

[wind howling]

How far away is Collinwood?

It's only a few miles.

But we're not going there.

What do you mean?

It would be ridiculous to go there.

It's just as dangerous as Windcliff.

The only chance that we have of staying alive

is to get as far away from Collinwood and Windcliff

as we possibly can.

[mysterious music]

Do you think that Quentin is the reincarnation

of the Quentin Collins that lived in ?

Dr. Hoffman, how can I possibly know that?

Because you were in love with the Quentin Collins

that lived in and you're in love with this Quentin.

Are they similar?

Well, the first Quentin was more of an aggressive man.

He had a will of iron.

He led a very troubled life and it was never very easy

to get to know him.

But the Quentin that I know now is a gentler man.

He's easier to know.

And to love.

I'm very tired, Dr. Hoffman.

I would like to get some rest.

I'd like you to stay here until Stokes comes.

Well?

Did you talk to Stokes?

No, I talked to his housekeeper.

Quentin, what's wrong?

It seems as if Professor Stokes...

took a plane to Europe, early this morning.

[dramatic music]

Quentin, why would he go to Europe without telling me?

There must be some sane explanation.

I guess we'll have to wait until we hear from him,

if we do.

Time is running out.

Soon there will be a m*rder and then...

then Rose Cottage will be destroyed.

And then the disaster at Collinwood!

Julia, if there is a way out of all of this,

I sure don't know what it is.

[eerie music]

[wind howling]

Tad, why have we come here?

We have been traveling enough tonight,

we need a place to rest.

But why here?

Because no one will find us here.

I'm scared, Tad.

There is nothing to be afraid of

as long as we're together.

We're too close to Collinsport.

Somebody might see us and recognize us.

Follow me.

[door clatters]

Tad, let's leave.

Don't be frightened.

What's that coffin doing in the middle of the floor?

I don't know.

It must... must have been here for a long time.

This crypt hasn't been used for many years.

[creaking]

[tense music]

[creaking]

[suspenseful music]

[door slams]

We should never have come here!

Be quiet!

He may still be here.

Was it someone rising from the dead?

I think so.

Do you still want to stay here?

No, but we can't leave yet.

He may still be outside.

[wind howling]

[tense music]

[owl hooting]

Now where will we go?

I don't know, I, I guess,

being closer to town, we'd be better off.

[screaming]

Don't look!

Who is it?

I don't know.

What's happened?

Something awful!

He looks like he's been attacked by an animal.

He has two holes in his neck.

His face is all white like the blood

was drained right out of him.

Tad!

The same thing happened back in !

Do you remember?

And no one could find out what caused it.

Do you remember?

Yes!

Yes, I remember!

I remember!

[owl hooting]

[mysterious music]

Daphne, I've been trying to identify something.

An object.

I wonder if you would help me.

This is it.

This medallion, look at it.

Have you ever seen anything like it before?

No, I don't think I have.

Why?

JULIA: Well, look at it more closely, it's very old.

I thought it might be familiar to you.

Keep looking at it.

I'm certain I've never seen it.

JULIA: Look at it more closely.

See the way the light gives out.

It's really very beautiful.

Concentrate on the light.

Keep looking deeper and deeper.

See if you can find the center of the light.

Center of the light.

JULIA: Deeper and deeper.

Have you found the center of the light?

Yes.

Yes, I found it.

JULIA: Good.

Then you will answer all my questions.

Yes.

Yes, I will answer.

Now concentrate on the events that are destined

to take place before the disaster at Collinwood.

First, there will be a m*rder.

Do you know who is destined to be m*rder*d?

Destined to be m*rder*d?

Do you know who the person is?

Yes.

Yes, I know who it is.

What is the name of the person?

Can you tell me?

Who...

Who is the m*rder*r?

Tell me!

Who is it?

The person who'll be m*rder*d...

The person who'll be m*rder*d, is me!

You?

I...I don't understand.

Do you know...

Do you know how it'll happen and when?

The green flag.

The green flag will be waved in the window

three times,

three times at the window.

Window?

The window on the tower room.

I saw the green flag there when I followed David.

When will this happen?

I... I don't know.

I don't know exactly when.

Do you know if it'll happen before or after

the destruction of Rose Cottage?

First, Rose Cottage, and then... the m*rder.

Then there may be time to save you.

Do you know when Rose Cottage will be destroyed?

The destruction of Rose Cottage will be tonight.
