999 - April 22, 1970

[eerie music]

NARRATOR:The great estate of Collinwood,

but different now because the people there

live in another band of time,

a time which Barnabas Collins hoped would release him

from his terrible curse.

But once in this parallel time,

Barnabas discovered his hope was in vain.

Now he lies, trapped in this coffin,

unable to witness the events which swirl around him.

For this night, one man questions whether this woman

is truly dead, or whether she walks disguised as another,

and he intends to find out.

ALEXIS: Get out of here!

Oh no.

Not this time, not until I find out the truth.

ALEXIS: What?

You see, I know your motive.

You are Angelique and you've come back for revenge!

ALEXIS: You have gone completely mad.

And you've brought back the spirit of Damien,

because you know how he died.

Damien?

I've never even heard of the man.

You think that his ghost can frighten me

into admitting that I k*lled you.

Will you please get out of here and leave me alone!

Oh no, not until I prove what you really are!

A living dead person!

How can you possibly prove anything like that?

Like this.

If you're dead already, then you can't die again, can you?

What?

BRUNO: We will know in just a minute.

Oh no, no! [dramatic music]

[Alexis screaming]

[eerie music]

[Alexis whimpering]

Use your evil powers now.

Go ahead, try to grab a clay doll.

Call on your false gods!

Try and stop me.

Then I'll know the truth!

Let go of her.

No!

Let go!

And you get out!

You fool.

Aren't you ever satisfied?

Don't you think you've done enough?

Now get out of here.

[Alexis crying]

He meant to k*ll me.

Alexis.

He'll try again.

All because he thinks I'm Angelique.

Now trust me.

What can you do?

What are you going to do?

I'm going to get rid of that man forever.

You just don't want it to come out.

You don't want anyone to know.

I'm going to call my lawyer.

This will all be handled very correctly.

Bruno shall see how wise it is for him to leave Collinwood.

Quentin, please don't ever let him come back.

He frightens me so much.

And he's mad.

But you know that, you know that as well as I do.

[eerie music]

BRUNO VOICEOVER: Nothing proven.

Why won't the man see?

Has she put some spell on him?

QUENTIN: You never do what you're told, do you?

Look, you want the spirit of Damien

out of this house as much as I do.

Look, listen to me.

Just for a few minutes, that's all.

I know what's causing all the trouble here.

You won't admit this, but Angelique vowed

that she'd come back if anything ever happened to her.

You know that.

I don't give her the credit you do.

Oh, but I do, very much credit, with good reason.

You always ridiculed her interest in the occult.

It was a game.

But she was serious about it.

Don't tell me about my own wife, Bruno!

Well, you have another wife now,

and that's why Angelique is here.

She never could stand to have someone who loved her

love someone else.

You know that.

Why did she come here right the moment you got married, hmm?

She did manage to get rid of the present Mrs. Collins.

I'm not going to discuss it with you.

Oh.

Pride has always been your problem.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I do tend to get off the subject.

Once Mrs. Collins was out of here, that woman upstairs

had to get rid of anyone who wouldn't believe her.

So enter Damien Edwards.

You're simply taking what's happened

and making up a story to explain it.

But a story that you almost believed once.

Why else would you have summoned Hannah Stokes?

To get rid of the ghost.

Oh, but I think you had more reason than that.

Even you were ready to believe.

In fact, you did believe that the occult was involved here.

But you got afraid.

Afraid because what would you do if that woman upstairs

is your dead wife?

[suspenseful music]

I know that's not true.

BRUNO: Add stubbornness to pride.

If you're willing to accept and believe

the powers of Hannah Stokes,

then you better believe what she told me.

Angelique Collins is in this house.

Get out of here.

This house is going to remain haunted, Quentin Collins,

until you force Angelique back into her grave.

It's just the same as when Angelique was alive.

You were different then, and you're different now.

Cyrus?

What?

I've been talking to you.

Now is not the time, I'm sorry.

That experiment.

It's always that experiment.

What is so fascinating about it?

It is, that's all.

Cyrus, would you listen to me for just one minute?

You expect me to marry you.

Sabrina, I have told you I have my work.

My work must come first.

SABRINA: But when it affects you in this way?

How has it affected me?

You're different, that's all.

I don't know how to explain it.

Ever since you came back.

I just feel it.

And I know that you don't put any faith in feelings.

Yes, but perhaps I'm beginning to.

Well, if you are, it's because of that, not because of me.

Cyrus, I'm worried about you.

I used to think I knew everything about you.

But now I don't feel secure about that at all.

Can you tell me why I feel this way?

Sabrina, I can't tell you why you feel that way.

And you shouldn't ask me.

I've changed because I'm growing,

and because there's something in me growing

that never has before.

But Sabrina, don't be afraid.

Please don't be afraid.

I am, Cyrus.

Very afraid.

[eerie music]

Alexis?

ALEXIS VOICEOVER: Hannah, you must meet me

in the gazebo at o'clock.

Tell no one.

A.

QUENTIN VOICEOVER: Why would Alexis meet Hannah Stokes,

alone, without wanting anyone to know?

Why did she sign this note "A," as Angelique always did?

A.

A.

They're the same.

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you'd be here.

No, I was looking for Trask.

I had an errand I wanted him to run for me.

Well, let me do it for you.

Oh no, well I wouldn't want to trouble you.

Oh nonsense, it's no trouble at all.

I'm looking for something to do.

Quentin, you think too much.

Yes.

You're not the first to say that.

[suspenseful music]

Did she?

Excuse me, I think I'll go and see if I can find Trask.

[door closes]

I've got to find out.

I must.

[suspenseful music]

[door closes]

BUFFIE:I must see him, and that's all.

SABRINA:What about?

BUFFIE: That's for him to know

and for you to find out, if you can.

Mr. Longworth?

Dr. Longworth!

Cyrus, I tried to stop her.

It's all right, Sabrina.

It's a private matter.

My name's Buffie Harrington.

Yes, Miss Harrington.

As you'd know if you were the type to come into the Eagle.

Well, as you can see, I'm not the type.

What can I do for you, Miss Harrington?

It's about a check.

Now what did I do with it?

Let me see.

Oh God, I've lost it.

[Buffie sighs]

Here it is.

Now, this may seem a weird question.

Did you honestly sign this?

Yes, yes, I did.

That's my signature.

BUFFIE: Then I can cash it?

Well, that's what checks are for, aren't they?

Well, never thought I'd be fooled again.

Why did you sign this?

Miss Harrington, apparently a friend of mine,

John Yeagar, did some damage in the Eagle.

Oh, did he ever.

Yes, well he's a very exuberant fellow.

Evil is the word I would use.

No, no, no, no.

I think I would qualify that.

He's a man who lives to the fullest.

He's capable of tremendous excesses.

That's his nature.

You admire him.

CYRUS: Do I?

Well, it sure sounds as if you do.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm just stating facts, Miss Harrington.

I don't think John would deliberately harm anyone.

You should see my friend, Steve.

He's in the hospital. [suspenseful music]

Yes, well, Steve provoked John.

My, he tells you everything, doesn't he?

No, no, he told me because,

because he feels very sorry about what happened.

Did John Yeagar tell you about me?

CYRUS: Yes, he mentioned you.

Did he tell you that he had taken rooms

in the house where I live?

Yes, he did, he did.

Why did he just disappear like he did?

I sent him away.

BUFFIE: For long?

I don't know for how long.

BUFFIE: Does he work for you?

You might say he does.

Now, now, Miss Harrington,

John gave me this money to cover Steve's hospital expenses.

Yes, now I know Steve would not take that money

because I'm a friend of John's.

But perhaps if you could persuade him to accept it.

I don't know.

Maybe I can.

If he doesn't, I'll bring it right back to you.

I swear, I'm not dishonest.

No, I don't think you are.

Mr., I mean, Dr. Longworth.

You seem so sensitive and kind.

I'd like to tell you something.

[suspenseful music]

John says that he likes me a lot.

But sometimes I'm afraid of him.

I wouldn't be, if I were you.

Maybe if you came with him the next time he came into town

I wouldn't be afraid.

You can even come on your own.

I like quiet men.

I'm afraid I don't have much opportunity for levity.

You see, my work is very demanding.

Well, I tried.

Goodbye, Mr. I mean, Dr. Longworth.

And thanks.

Miss Harrington?

Despite what you said, you like John Yeagar, don't you?

Sometimes.

[eerie music]

What did that girl want?

Oh, nothing.

She's just a friend of a friend.

John Yeagar?

Cyrus, who is John Yeagar?

[phone rings]

[Sabrina sighs]

[Cyrus chuckles]

Excuse me.

Can't you even tell me that?

Hello?

QUENTIN:Cyrus, I must see you.

Quentin, I'm working.

For once, stop working.

I need you very much.

Can you come here immediately?

If you'll tell me what you want.

I want you to help me open a tomb.

[dramatic music]

[suspenseful music]

Open Angelique's tomb?

Yes.

Quentin, you've always been a doubter.

You couldn't even take a seance seriously.

I've changed.

You really think that Angelique is risen?

Don't force me to say it.

Quentin, Quentin, I must.

Quentin, you were at that seance where Angelique died.

You were at the burial.

You heard the autopsy.

QUENTIN:You saw Alexis.

When you did, didn't you think she was Angelique?

CYRUS:At first I did, but then I--

QUENTIN:Yes.

Well, I've been a fool not to accept

what you and the others have always readily accepted,

that the dead can come back.

Now Cyrus, if we open Angelique's tomb

and the body's not there,

then we'll know.

Quentin.

Quentin, what are you going to do if the body isn't there?

I don't know.

You'd better start thinking about that before you start.

I stopped Bruno from opening up the tomb.

I should have let him.

Will you help me?

Will you?

But even if I think it's a mistake?

Yes, even if you think it's a mistake.

Please.

All right, I will.

Good.

[soft music]

[suspenseful music]

Quentin, please.

If you ever loved my sister at all.

What are you doing here?

How did you know to come here, unless you're--

Unless I'm Angelique?

You believe it now, too, don't you?

Well, I'm here because I heard the two of you talking,

and because I will not have my sister's grave defiled.

Quentin, if you'll stop now, I'll go away,

and all the torment you're going through will be over.

I'll leave Collinwood tonight.

I promise you that.

And will that stop what's happening in this house?

Then I've got to do it and no one's going to stop me.

Quentin, no!

[Alexis crying]

Will she never rest in peace?

[coffin lid creaking]

I must do it, no matter what the spell.
