964 - March 5, 1970

[bunniefuu]

[eerie music]

VOICEOVER: Horror st*lks the halls

of the great house of Collinwood.

But Jeb has vowed to k*ll Barnabas Collins

and all those helping him.

Now, dead men, servants of Jeb Hawkes

carry out his mission of revenge.

And already they have found their first victim.

[suspenseful music]

[screaming] My God!

Oh!

Put that down!

Let me go!

Get...

[grunting]

[tense music] [distant thunder]

[dramatic music]

[Dark Shadows theme music]

[suspenseful music] [distant storm]

The carriage house?

Why have they left me alone?

Help!

[suspenseful music]

Good evening, Dr. Hoffman, how nice to see you again.

Of course, you don't think so.

No I do not.

Why have I been brought here?

Now now, Doctor, no questions.

You are here, and fine, just enjoy it.

That's impossible, Mr. Rumson.

What an impatient woman you are.

Always so eager to get to the bottom of things.

Those men...

Those, those men that brought me here, are dead.

That should satisfy your curiosity I would think.

I don't know what powers you have, Mr. Rumson.

Very few, unfortunately.

Or who has the power to raise the dead,

Nicholas Blair, I suspect.

But, I suppose it would be Jeb then.

Jeb Hawkes.

SKY: More questions.

Yes, questions.

Now why have I been brought here

and why are you the one to greet me,

and where is Jeb Hawkes?

Oh, he's here.

Don't worry, Jeb is here.

Is that his, his new room?

SKY: Yes.

Why have you told me all this?

Does that mean that you're going to k*ll me?

Don't worry, I won't k*ll you if you do what I ask.

What do you want of me?

You'll know, soon enough.

Roger!

Roger!

What happened?

Dead men.

Help me!

QUENTIN: What are you talking about?

Dead men, I know it.

They've got Julia!

Would you care for a glass of sherry?

No I would not.

You don't mind if I have one, do you?

I don't care what you do.

[rumbling thunder]

I will never tell you where Barnabas Collin's coffin is,

if that's what you wanna know.

You never stop thinking do you, Doctor?

Use your imagination.

Go ahead.

Ask one more question.

[distant roaring]

He's, he's in there, in his, his other form.

SKY: Would you like to see what he looks like, Doctor?

No, no!

I believe you're afraid.

I have seen what he does to people.

That's right, you saw Paul Stoddard after they had met,

didn't you?

I'm sorry you, uh, you're not interested.

It would, uh, make it much easier.

You see, because you are going in that room, Doctor.

No.

SKY: You must.

You see, he wishes it.

I will not do it.

Come, Dr. Hoffman.

No!

You are going in the room.

Let me go!

I will, as soon as you're in that room.

Please, please!

Get in there!

[loud breathing]

Let me out!

Let me out!

Please, please help me.

Let me out.

[deep heavy breathing]

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

[screaming and crying]

[dramatic music]

Don't...

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

You thought I was gonna k*ll you, didn't you, Doctor?

Well, I may.

It all depends on you.

It depends entirely on you.

So, play it cool.

ROGER: Why would they take Julia?

It's Jeb's declaration of w*r on all of us.

Barnabas, Julia, me, and you.

Are they going to k*ll her?

Unless we can stop them.

But how do we know where they've gone?

I know he wouldn't have gone to the carriage house,

he's too smart for that.

I know they're using the crypt at the cemetery,

we'll try there.

Quentin, it may be a trap.

They'd know that you or Barnabas would try to rescue her.

You're right.

But we can't simply forget about her.

Well, of course not, but we must be clever.

More clever than they.

[suspenseful music]

[knocking]

You may go now.

Oh no, not the house.

No, I'm afraid that would be impossible.

But, you may leave the room.

You seem to hate it so.

I think you've confused the good doctor, Jeb.

You can go to Collinwood, find out if Megan's back.

You didn't know Megan was missing, did you, Doctor?

No, no, I didn't.

Well, somehow I thought she might be at the old house.

But she wasn't, no one was.

But, but why would she be there?

JEB: Why don't you tell me?

Well, the only reason she would be there would be

if you sent her there.

Mrs. Stoddard will tell you the truth.

Well now, Doctor.

Why did you do that?

Why did you let me in that room?

Did you think I'd be so terrified

that I'd die of shock as Paul Stoddard did?

No, I want you alive.

[rumbling thunder] JULIA: Why?

What do you want of me?

I know what you're doing for Barnabas.

You're curing him.

You did it once before.

And you want me to stop doing it?

JEB: Well, if you want to help Barnabas,

you're gonna help me.

Help you?

You saw me in that room, didn't you?

You think I like being like that?

Well that's it, Doctor.

That's the ballgame.

You know I go in that room, can't help myself.

I change into that, that...

You've no control over it?

No, no. I mean sure, I can hold it back

for five minutes or but, then I can't.

I mean I just used to accept the way I was.

I got kicks from it.

But now I never wanna be that again.

Not since I saw a look in someone's eyes.

She saw me like that.

A look.

I...

I don't even, I don't even ever wanna go

into that room again.

They make you go in there?

Yeah they do now.

And, and, and you wanna be, you wanna be human like us?

You want to lose your powers?

I don't want my powers, I wanna be human.

I want you to help me.

[distant storm]

JULIA: I, I can't help you.

Don't say that, please.

Well, I don't understand anything

about what happens to you in there.

Obviously, there, there,

there's some kind of chemical change.

Look, you did, you did know

about the vampires, didn't you?

Look, there might be certain experiments we could make.

We, we could try hypnosis.

There might be some chemical way of,

of prolonging the periods before you change.

I don't know.

Just, just tell me that you're willing to try, please?

If you'll promise me to do something for me

and keep your word.

Leave Barnabas Collins alone.

[distant thunder]

All right.

I'll leave Barnabas alone.

Send someone to Collinwood for my medical kit.

If your servants haven't destroyed everything.

I'll have to make some, some, some blood tests.

I need some blood samples to see what can be done.

I'll have to set up a table and work here in this house.

[rumbling thunder]

We're wasting time.

But we've come up with no plan.

I'm going to the cemetery, take my chances.

That's suicide!

Well if he's not there,

I'll go to the carriage house and see Jeb.

[knocking]

Who could that be?

[clunking door]

Yes?

SKY: My name is Skylar Rumson,

I've come to see Mrs. Stoddard.

ROGER: Is she expecting you?

Oh yes, she is, Roger.

Won't you show the gentleman in?

Do you know each other?

QUENTIN: Oh, we've met.

And I've also heard a great deal about him from his wife.

Would you tell Mrs. Stoddard I'm here, please?

Oh, she'll be down shortly.

In the meantime, the three of us

can have a nice little chat.

Oh, I'm sorry, this is Roger Collins.

Won't you come into the drawing room?

You, uh, you like art, if I remember Angelique correctly.

Perhaps you'll find some of our paintings here

to be enjoyable.

Oh, I'm sure you can find some things fascinating.

Do you, uh, collect weapons by any chance?

SKY: No, I don't.

Mr. Collins are you quite sure

Mrs. Stoddard will be down shortly?

I'd like to see Mrs. Stoddard if she's here.

[breaking glass]

Yes, I'm sure that you would like to see both of them.

That would be a treat, wouldn't it, Mr. Rumson?

Do you know there's somebody

that we would also like to see.

Julia Hoffman.

Now, where is she?

[dramatic music]

I don't know where Julia Hoffman is.

You're a bad liar, Rumson.

Where is she?

SKY: Mr. Collins, this is insane.

[shouting] Where is she?

Now must I move this sword closer, huh?

You know the point is sharp, feel it?

I don't know anything.

QUENTIN: Mr. Rumson, maybe a nice long scar

across your throat will help you remember, huh?

Or am I going to have to k*ll you?

Now listen, I'll do anything to find out where she is.

The coach house.

QUENTIN: [laughing] No, I don't

She's there, I swear it!

QUENTIN: I don't fall for that!

He brought her to the coach house for a reason.

What reason?

Nicholas Blair with them?

He doesn't know anything of it.

Are those other men with him?

- SKY: Yes. - How many?

- SKY: Four! - Where are they stationed?

SKY: Outside each door.

All right, now tell me,

is there a password I can use to get by, huh?

Come on, tell me.

Live, that's all you have to say.

It's the only word they respond to.

Now you see, it wasn't so hard after all, was it?

Watch him, I'm going after Julia.

Sit down, Mr. Rumson.

I prefer to remain on my feet.

I said, sit down!

[rumbling thunder]

This is, uh, not quite the reception

I had expected in this house.

I'm not here to offer you any explanation whatsoever.

[grunting]

Open this door!

Somebody! [hard knocking]

Open this door!

[suspenseful music]

You can never go back there, you know.

Mr. Collins will, uh, will never forgive you for this.

He's onto us.

I don't want to go back there, anyway.

You can't stay with Jeb either.

For some reason, he's very angry with you.

I, I don't know why.

Don't you?

No.

I'll be all right, Sky.

You know, somehow I...

I, I think you really will be.

I, uh, I must be going.

Why?

Why do we have to go back there?

I don't want to see Jeb.

I only want to see you.

Look at me.

Are you afraid to look at me?

Why would I be afraid of you?

You're beautiful.

Beautiful.

[dramatic music]

[rumbling thunder]

[suspenseful music]

Time, all I need is time.

Where is she, Hawkes?

[chuckling] Marvelous entrance, Mr. Collins, terrific.

[clapping]

Have you k*lled her?

Ah, our old Sky told you the password, huh?

You know I hadn't dared hope you'd be here.

[grunting] [rumbling thunder]

[tense music]

[grunting]

Meet my enforcers, Mr. Collins.

You'll not get us, Hawkes.

I'll be back, I promise.

I've heard enough.

[heavy thud]

[suspenseful music]

Careful with him, gentlemen, he bruises easily.

[creaking]

[creaking]

Now do not grieve, gentlemen.

He is very old.

Very old, indeed.

And he will soon join you.

[rumbling thunder]

Bury him.

[rumbling thunder]

May Quentin Collins soon learn to rest in peace.

Soon he will find himself in a coffin.

And the air he breathes will become less and less and less.

Until there is none. [rumbling thunder]

I promised you a surprise, Quentin Collins.

[chuckling] You know I keep my promises.
