622 - November 11, 1968

[bunniefuu]

- Nothing that will happen on this day,

or the night that will soon follow,

can stay the actions of the evil forces threatening Collinwood.

Not far from the Collins' estate,

in a house by the ocean, a man who

possesses terrifying powers of evil

has learned that he has been betrayed by a woman.

Not an ordinary woman but one of the living dead.

[ominous music]

- You're very fortunate in one way, Angelique:

there will be no suffering, no pain.

You will cease to exist without ever knowing it.

[ominous music]

[creaking]

[ominous music]

[theme music]

- The sun is almost down.

You're very lucky, Angelique: the night is on your side

so you will exist a little longer.

But make the best of it, my dear,

because the day belongs to me and I will find you

wherever you are hiding.

I'll find you and destroy you forever.

[creaking]

[wolves howling]

[ominous music]

- Barnabas, the time has come for us

to go away together forever.

Hear me now, wherever you were, and come to me.

I am waiting for you.

[ominous music]

- You look concerned about something, Nicholas.

I didn't think that was possible.

- I am already in a foul mood.

Don't make it worse.

- Oh my, someone must have played a mean trick on you.

- You didn't know anything about it, do you?

- About what?

- Angelique's disappearance. - Angelique is gone?

- Yes. - For good?

- I'm sure that's what she thinks,

but I must find her as soon as possible.

- Why?

- I have score to settle with her, and I want to help me.

- Help you?

- Find Angelique.

- What are laughing at?

- You, of course.

- Why?

- You want me to help you?

You must not have a very long memory, Nicholas.

I wouldn't lift a finger to do anything for you.

- Something is wrong.

Barnabas isn't responding.

He must have felt my summons.

Why isn't he on his way?

Nicholas!

[music playing]

- Cast your reflection away from this room.

Show me another room in a house by the sea, Nicholas Blaire's

house.

Nicholas Blaire's house.

- By refusing me, you're making a great mistake.

- Nicholas, I don't care.

- You will when you pay the consequences.

- Even if I were willing to help,

I don't see what I could do.

No, don't bother.

If you really want to find her, there's a much simpler way.

- What is that?

- She has Barnabas Collins under her spell.

All you have to do is find Barnabas and follow him.

He'll lead you directly to her.

- Barnabas is gone.

- Gone where?

- He was with Angelique last night.

When she left him, he was on the brink of death.

Willy Loomis, his servant, found him, called Dr. Hoffman

and she sent him to a hospital a few miles away.

- Well, just go there and bring him back.

- No.

It would take too much time and it would be too risky.

I must find Angelique by the time the sun comes up tomorrow.

With Barnabas out of the way, there

are only two other men that she would turn to:

Joe Haskell and Jeff Clark.

- Jeff Clark? - Yes.

It's beginning to interest you now, isn't it?

Now, I want you to watch Jeff Clark tonight

and if Angelique comes to him--

- I'll k*ll her.

- Well, you might find that just a little bit difficult to do.

Now you will watch Jeff tonight, and if it happens,

you will follow Angelique, find out where she is hiding,

and then tell me.

- Nicholas, I'll help you on one condition.

- I am not making any bargain with you.

- You're in no position to refuse.

I want you to help me prove, beyond all doubt,

that Jeff is really Peter Bradford.

- And how do you expect me to do that?

- The powers you have give you a certain amount of control

over time and space. - Yes.

So?

- Well, I want you to send me back

in time, back to the time when Peter Bradford and I were

together.

I want to be there long enough to get the proof I need.

Well, you can do it, can't you?

- Yes, I can do it.

But I am not going to.

- Then you can rot before I'll help you.

- Oh, you listen to me.

I have had all I'm going to take of your insolence.

Now, I don't want to destroy you, Eve,

but if you drive me to it I will see that Adam gets another mate

and you return to your grave forever.

I promise you.

Is that clear?

- Yes.

- Good.

Now you go and watch Jeff Clark.

You just watch him.

- And what am I supposed to do if Angelique does come to him?

Stand by and watch him be victimized?

- Yes!

I don't care about Jeff Clark!

I only care about Angelique!

Now go!

[ominous music]

- Sorry I haven't been very good company tonight

but I'm so worried about Barnabas.

- Why?

Dr. Hoffman said there there's nothing really seriously wrong

with him.

- If that's true, then why did she take him to Wincliff?

- Look, I don't know.

Maybe, maybe he could rest better there.

- I think she knew more than she was telling.

- What do you mean?

- The last time I saw him, he said something very disturbing.

- What was that?

I thought he needed medical help.

I wanted to get Julia, he wouldn't let me.

He said no doctor could help him.

- Look, he was probably just depressed.

Now, I think it's fine that you're so concerned

about Barnabas, but why don't you

let Dr. Hoffman do that kind of worrying, OK?

It is her job.

- You're probably right.

She's very devoted to him and I guess

she won't let anything happen.

- Of course, she won't.

Now, do you mind if we talk about us?

- No.

- You probably haven't noticed but I've also had

something on my mind tonight.

- What's that?

- Vicky, let's get married.

- We're going to get married.

- I-I don't mean next month, I mean now, this week, Friday,

in the afternoon.

What do you say?

- I don't know what to say.

Why so soon?

- Why not?

- That's no answer.

We've made all our plans for next month.

- So we break the plans.

There's...

- Well, I--

I don't know why want to break them.

- Look, um, don't ask me to pinpoint a reason.

I...

so many things have gone wrong.

I'm afraid something else might.

- Nothing's going to happen to come between us.

- No, it won't if we go on and get married now.

Look, I don't want to wait any longer.

I can't explain why, don't ask me.

Please say yes. Please.

- You're so insistent, I don't see how I can say no.

I wish we could stay out here under the starlight all night.

- Yes, so do I, but we can't.

I've got to get up early tomorrow morning

and you gotta start changing those arrangements.

- Oh, I don't know what I'm going to tell everybody.

- Are you kidding? Just play the whole thing on me.

- OK.

- All right, I will. - I love you.

- I love you.

- Good night.

How long have you been standing there?

You know I told you to stay away from this place,

and to stay away from me.

- You changed your wedding date because of me, didn't you?

- I changed my wedding date because I'm so in love

with Vicky that I can't wait to marry her.

And I'm going to tell you once and for all, you

stay away from me, and you get out of my life, OK?

- Eve, I wouldn't follow him if I were you.

- Angelique?

- Don't look so shocked.

- Nicholas was right.

You did come after Jack.

- Don't be ridiculous.

- You stay away from him, do you hear me?

- I'm not the least bit interested in Jeff.

- Then what are you doing here?

- It's you I came to see.

- Me?

What for?

- I think it's time that you and I got better acquainted.

- Why?

- Because I think we're in a position to help each other.

- You're in no position to help anyone.

When Nicholas finds out where you are--

- Nicholas isn't going to find out.

- What's to keep me from telling him?

- I don't think you know very much about what I am.

- I know enough to know that Nicholas

is more powerful than you are.

- Yes, that's true.

It's a shame he won't use his power to help you, isn't it?

- I don't know what you mean.

- Of course you do.

Earlier this evening, you tried to get

him to do you a little favor and he turned you down, didn't he?

- How did you know that?

- Never mind.

The point is I came here to see him

tonight because I can do for you what Nicholas refused to do.

- I don't believe you.

You don't have that kind of power.

- I can send you back to past for a brief period of time,

long enough for you to do what you want to.

- No.

No, this is just some kind of a trick.

- What reason would I have to trick you?

- I don't know.

But I'm not going to make the mistake of trusting

you long enough to find out.

- Eve, you let me help you or you can forget about Jeff Clark

because he doesn't want you.

And he isn't going to want you, not unless you

can prove beyond any doubt that he really is Peter Bradford.

- I'll find a way to prove it to him.

- How?

This is the th century, Eve.

There's no way to find any absolute proof now.

But the proof exists, in the year ,

and I can send you there.

When you return, you'll be able to be with Jeff again.

It'll be so easy.

Think about it, Eve.

It will be so easy.

[ominous music]

- Well, it seems you're not as anxious to have

Jeff Clark as you pretended to be.

Good night, Eve.

- No, wait!

Assuming you're able to do what you say you can do,

why are you so willing to help me?

- I'm surprised you even ask that question.

I hate Nicholas just as much as you do.

- Is that the only reason?

- No.

No, now that Nicholas is searching for me,

I need someone to protect me during the day.

- That's what you want me for?

- If I am able to get you what you want, it'll be worth

it to you, won't it?

- Yes.

How soon can you send me back?

- Tonight.

At midnight.

- How are you going to do it?

- You'll find out when the time comes.

There's something you must do for me first.

- What?

- You must get Nicholas out of house.

- Why?

- There's something of his that I

need, something that he keeps there at the Blair house.

- I don't know how I can get him out.

- If you want to make that journey into the past,

I'm sure you'll think of a way.

[wolf howling]

- Why aren't you watching Jeff?

- Because there's no need to.

- What do you mean?

- Angelique won't find Jeff tonight.

- How do you know that?

- When I was looking for Jeff, I saw her.

- Where?

- In the woods, near the edge of town.

- What are you doing here?

Why didn't you follow her?

- If you think that I'm going to try

to follow someone who can disappear at will,

you are mistaken.

- What part of town did you see her?

- Nicholas, I don't know this town well enough.

If I didn't know how ridiculous it was,

I'd say she was headed toward the hospital.

- You saw her near the hospital? - Well, yes.

- Then she's after Joe Haskell.

- Is he in the hospital too? - Yes.

I want you to go back there right away, and wait for her.

- Nicholas, I...

if you don't mind, I've had a long day

and I've had enough running around for this day.

So if you want her, you go get her.

Besides, you wouldn't like me to stay from my darling Adam

too long, would you?

- I don't have time to argue with right now

but you be here when I get back. I'll deal with you then.

[door opens and closes]

[door opens and closes]

- You did that very well.

- When Nicholas finds out I lied to him,

he's going to be furious with me.

- Don't tell him that you lied.

Tell him and that you were merely mistaken.

- Well, I'm not going where worry about that now.

What do we have to do?

- First I have to find the medallion.

A special medallion that Nicholas uses for this purpose.

I'm sure he keeps it in the desk in some---

Yes.

Yes.

Here it is.

Oh.

- Why are you turning out the lights?

- It's part of the ceremony.

Now, sit here in this chair.

- How long will this take?

- Only a few moments.

- Will I feel anything?

- No.

You won't even know it's happening.

There's one thing you must realize, though.

Your time be limited.

- How much will I have?

- Only six hours, no more, then you must return.

But what if I need longer than that?

- You must find what you need in six hours

or you won't come back at all.

Do you understand?

- Yes.

- Now, I want you to sit completely still, lean back

in your chair, let your whole body relax, and look at me.

Keep looking at me.

I address the powers of time and space.

I command those powers to open the way for one

who wishes to return to another time, another place.

Her mind is suspended now, free of all things present, waiting

to be guided back, and given temporary refuge in the past.

She is waiting.

She is waiting.

Take her back to the year .
