Actually, I came down looking for David.
God knows where he's run off to now.
We'll be lucky if we see him before Christmas.
He's a fine lad.
Every bit as curious and rambunctious as I was.
He idolizes you.
Between you and his mother, I can hardly get him to talk about anything else.
You believe him, that he sees her and speaks to her?
Part of me believes he's a lonely boy looking for comfort.
Part of me believes there are things in this world we don't understand.
Things like magic, death, destiny.
I guess as long as it makes him happy, what does it matter what anyone believes?
Eloquently put.
Maybe we're getting too worked up about this, Angie.
They spruced up the cannery and renovated their house. So what?
We still hold pink slips on 95 percent of the nets dragging the Grand Banks.
He's right.
It doesn't mean anything to our bottom line.
"Doesn't mean anything"?
My great-great grandmother started Angelbay...
...to show those Collins that they didn't own the water.
That they couldn't look down their entitled noses at us.
The Bouchard women slaved for over two centuries...
...sacrificing their lives to build this business.
So that means something, gentlemen.
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna see it destroyed by those bastards.
Call and arrange a meeting.
Sell to you? Never.
One cannot put a price on the restoration of a family's honor.
Let me try.
I had no idea that my business acumen was giving you such spasms.
Hypnotizing fishermen isn't business acumen, Barnabas.
Those are my terms.
Here are my terms:
Goest thou to hell, and swiftly, please.
And there may Asmodeus himself suckle from your diseased teat.
Ooh. No one talks like you anymore, Barnabas.
Yes, indeed.
I must say this age does remain a mystery to me.
Give me one good reason why I should not kill you this instant.
Because I'd kill you if you tried.
Impossible.
That would require mercy.
Instead, you have made me a monster.
We're both monsters, Barnabas.
Just two big fish in an itty-bitty pond.
Now, we can either fight until one of us is dead...
or we can make...
...little fish together.
I'll be honest. I was really angry at you for the first century or so.
Sure, it was fun...
...watching your family squirm and burn away...
...like ants under a magnifying glass.
And yes, it was fun being adored as the Collins name crumbled...
...growing wealthy on the backs of their despair.
But lately...
Lately it's just been...
...lonely.
We're different from these people, Barnabas.
We're better than they are.
That's why I've missed you.
You're the only ant I couldn't...
...burn.
What is it you want, Angelique?
Your love.
You do still love me, don't you?
Somewhere deep down in that cold, un-beating heart.
My dear, even Aphrodite herself could not construct a more odious union.
What if I made you?
With what, a spell?
A little doll filled with pins? That is not love.
- With this. - Oh.
- The body you once begged me for. - Mmm.
I must admit, they have not aged a day.
I'm willing to start over, Barnabas.
I'm willing to call a truce if you'll just take me.
I am not as I once was.
I could change that.
And if I refuse?
I'll take everything you love...
...starting with that little creature you've been eyeing so fondly.
The one who looks like Josette.
Well, then...
...I suppose strictly in the name of her honor...
...I must now defile...
...your most intimate and womanly segments.
That was a regrettable turn of events.
You didn't seem to regret it.
Yes.
Seems that even in death, I have a weakness for the living flesh.
Especially yours.
What a cold way to describe something so hot.
Perhaps.
But I cannot succumb to your charms ever again.
Please, forgive me.
If I can't have you, my love...
...I'll destroy you.
Five more minutes.
This is a very silly play.
A werewolf.
A werewolf?
Yeah, well, it's the only station we get out here.
How are we doing?
I do not feel as though I'm becoming more human as yet.
Give it some time.
Time, doctor, I have an unfortunate excess of.
This is my favorite doll, called Lucy.
And my favorite bit about Lucy is her crazy, crazy red hair.
I mean, look at her red hair.
And my second favorite bit about her...
...is her nice, shiny, pink bow and...
No! Please! Please, no! Please!
Please, I'm begging you! Please, don't!
It's really true! Mommy, Daddy, please!
Mommy! Daddy!
Mommy!
Please, Daddy! Daddy!
Help me.
Help you what?
A what?
A ball.
And a most splendid one.
A ball for who?
For the entire town, of course.
Don't you know the entire town kind of hates us?
Balls are demonstrations of power.
Balls are how the ruling class remain the ruling class.
Exactly what I've been saying. This family could use some balls.
Indeed. And the Collins family have always held the biggest...
...and the most wonderful balls.
Jesus, can somebody shut the drapes?
You know, Barnabas has a point.
It's about time we threw a little dough around. Hm?
Show the peasants that we're back in action.
People don't throw balls anymore, stupid.
Do they not?
They throw happenings.
And how, pray, does one throw a happening?
Well...
...first things first, you'll need a mirror ball.
Whatever that is, we shall have it.
And booze, lots of booze.
Carolyn.
We shall have spirits enough to fill a schooner's hull.
And...
...Alice Cooper.
I seem to recall an Alice Cooper from my youth.
Does she reside in Collinsport?
Not exactly.
Well, she shall be our guest nonetheless.
How do you do?
- Thank you for having us. - Evening.
Good evening. Welcome to Collinwood.
I have to hand it to you. This is a happening.
I guess the only thing missing is Alice Cooper.
Perhaps you should go and acquaint yourself with the evening's entertainment.
I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing Till they got ahold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me
And I'm getting real shot down And I'm feeling mean
Ugliest woman I've ever seen.
No more Mr. Nice Guy
No more Mr. Clean
No more Mr. Nice Guy
They say he's sick He's obscene
I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
Master David.
Where is the female coat attendant?
My dad's talking to her inside.
Hm.
But he told me to keep everybody out.
I'm sure he did, David. And you've done a marvelous job.
But now I would like you to go and watch Alice Cooper with the others.
But my dad said...
Go and watch the Cooper woman.
You were right about this stuff.
Nothing but the best for you, pussycat.
Who Was the kid?
I have no idea. I never saw him before.
Now...
...come here.
Mommy, where's Daddy?
He's been gone for so long.
Is he ever coming home?
I was gone for 14 days
I could've been gone for more
Whatever are you doing outside, my dear?
You'll catch your death of cold.
I've caught the only thing that matters, Barnabas.
Your eye.
I have withheld my tender affections...
...fearful that they were unrequited.
I've not spoken of my feelings to another soul.
Right. You've only spoken of my birthing hips.
Yes, well...
I don't know why, but for some reason, I feel like I can tell you anything.
It's like I've known you forever.
Yes.
It's almost hypnotic.
Yes.
But, wait, no.
I have used no such trickery to summon your ardor, I assure you.
I don't know what it is. I just know there's always been something pulling me here.
Pulling me to Collinsport.
To you.
Oh, my dear Victoria.
- Hath my scent offended thee? - No, no.
I'm sorry. It's just...
The people I love haven't always loved me back.
My own family sent me away. Swept me under the rug...
...because it was easier than having a daughter who was different.
Who was cursed.
Cursed because I saw things other little girls didn't.
They were the loneliest, most painful years a child could know.
Now, hold still, Maggie.
This will only hurt for a minute.
Aah!
But as hard as they were, I never lost my will.
The need to feel the sun on my face again.
So I set out in search of a new home.
A new life, far away from that pain.
But even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd feel as happy as I do now.
To betray one's own kin, and because she possesses a gift.
No, Victoria.
It is unforgivable.
And your parents deserve to boil in hell's everlasting sulfur.
See my lonely life unfold
Since I've gone away
Uh-oh. Hey.
Hey, you're not invited. Um...
Hey. Uh...
But...
Sleeping dont come very easy
In a straight, white vest
Should like to see that little children
She's only 4 years old
For most of my life, I've wanted a place where I belonged.
A place where I could feel at home again.
Feel loved again.
And I've found that place here at Collinwood.
And here.
We must intensify our efforts.
I have urgent need to be human again.
I can explain.
My God.
You're not using your blood to make me human.
You're using my blood to make yourself immortal.
Yes, but, Barnabas, you have a gift. It isn't fail to keep it all to yourself.
The Collins family took you in, bestowed their sacred trust upon you.
And you brazenly betray that trust.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want to grow old.
I want to be beautiful again.
- I want to live forever, like you. - I'm afraid that is out of the question.
A stout man contains some five quarts of blood...
...which, if you will forgive the boast...
...I can consume in a mere seven and a half seconds.
But you, my dear little wisp...
...I dare say I shall drink you to a withered husk in less than five.
Please don't kill me. You're a good man. You're a gentleman.
- Please, forgive me. - Madam.
I am neither good nor gentle, and I do not forgive.
Aah!
I should tell you, Willie...
...if you ever speak a word of this to anyone...
...I shall have to kill you in a most unpleasant manner.
Don't worry, Mr. B.
I never liked the bitch anyway.
Come on. I know you're here.
Hey.
Beautiful workmanship, isn't it?
Hm. I was just looking for the, uh...
This?
There's nothing worth stealing, I'm afraid.
Sadly, Elizabeth uses it for the badminton equipment.
That's what I was looking for.
What are you?
I am about to do something so repellent...
...that it sickens me to my very core.
I'm going to give you a choice.
What choice?
Either you remain at Collinwood...
...and devote your every waking moment to becoming an exemplary father...
the father David so desperately wants and deserves...
Ur?
Or you leave...
...with sufficient money...
...to live your thieving, selfish life elsewhere.
Where on earth is Dr. Hoffman when we need her?
Indeed.
Barnabas, you're on fire.
I'd like to teach the world to sing
I demand that you release me from my curse.
You're late.
What is that?
The only thing you drink these days.
From where does it come?
No one you know.
I promise.
I knew it wouldn't be long before you barged in...
...begging me to make you mortal again.
Now that Dr. Hoffman isn't around to give you your little transfusions.
Yes.
Yes, it was a shame...
...she was called away on business so suddenly.
Interesting. I don't know many people who take business meetings...
...on the bottom of the ocean.
She was a liar.
She was stealing my blood.
Aren't we being a smidge hypocritical?
Lying and stealing blood are things you're rather familiar with.
Yes, I killed Dr. Hoffman...
...and the workmen and those very nice, unshaven young people.
But know this:
With each life I take...
...a piece of my wretched soul dies.
For I only kill because I'm compelled to.
Compelled by your witchcraft.
By your curse.
Why have you done this to me?
It's a shame.
You know, if you'd just been smart enough to love me, I would've let her go.
Speak plainly, snake.
I sent your little girlfriend over the cliffs once before.
What makes you think I wouldn't do it again?
I'm gonna offer you a business proposal, Barnabas.
My final offer.
Either you agree to rule this little pond of mine side by side...
...partners and lovers...
...or I put you back in the box.
I have already prepared my counter proposal.
It reads thusly:
You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior...
...and kiss it repeatedly!
Sleeping flame, I summon thee
To your form return
Make the night as bright as day
And burn, baby, burn
Wha...?
I've come to realize shutting you in that box for all eternity...
...might've been a tad harsh.
So here is the deal:
I'm gonna destroy everything you love...
...and you're gonna take some more time to think about us.
See you in a couple centuries, lover boy.
Do not dismay, Barnabas. We shall yet again escape this nightmare.
Perhaps only a few brief decades this time.
Oh, hello!
Hello! I hear you!
Oh, sweet glories be. Whoever you are, fear not. I will not harm you.
What year is it? How many centuries have I...?
How long has it been?
It's been 20 minutes.
Young Master David. How on earth did you know I was imprisoned?
My mom told me.
You probably think I'm crazy.
Young man, I think nothing of the sort.
Uncle Barnabas...
...why do you have ladies' underwear on your face?
Never mind that. Where is your family? Where is Victoria?
I haven't seen Vicky...
...but everybody else is in the town watching our cannery burn.
We must save them! Hurry!
Master David!
Perhaps you should unchain me first?
Hank, we need another brigade out of Portland, quick as you can!
Get these folks out of here!
All right, everybody, stand back! Please, stand back!
Oh, boy. Miss Elizabeth's gonna shit a brick.
Sheriff, we need to talk.
Christ, Angie, I ain't got time for chitchat. The damned town's burning!
You don't have time for proof that the Collins family is harboring a murderer?
BARNABAS Yes, I killed Dr. Hoffman...
...and the workmen and those very nice, unshaven young people.
Well, I'll be damned.
And to think the whole town's named after them.
I'd be willing to bet that Barnabas has already skipped town.
And I'd be willing to bet...
...that you'll find the corpses of more of his innocent victims in there!
The Collins family has rebuilt their business with murder!
Well, I say, not in my town!
There's one of them now!
He's probably the one who started the fire to cover his boss' tracks.
- Time to go. - Where you going?
Willie. What on earth's happened?
Fire. Murder. Angry mob. Run!
David, go inside.
Liz...
...I'm sorry.
We're gonna have to take you in.
All of you.
Bill...
...the Collins family built this town.
We built it with our boats and our nets.
With our sacrifices and our blood.
And this is how you repay us?
You've been harboring a murderer.
Arrest them.
I shall go willingly...
...to whatever punishment awaits...
...provided...
...no harm befalls my family.
Hold it right there.
And provided...
...Miss Bouchard goes along with me...
...for she is no less a monster than I.
Perhaps it is best...
...if we are both destroyed.
Mr. Collins, back off! I'm warning you!
Go on, slaughter me.
Show them what you are.
No.
I shall show them what we are.
Unh!
What's that man done to Angie?
It's not him, it's her.
She's a witch.
Excuse me.
You gotta get through me first, lady.
All right, everybody, go on home now.
- Nothing to see here. - Let's move.
You should've loved me, Barnabas.
None of this would've happened if you'd just loved me.
I should have destroyed you. You've brought me nothing but misery.
I gave you my heart!
You have no heart.
You're the curse!
Women are undone by loving you.
Josette, Dr. Hoffman. And your beloved Vicky.
I command you to release her from your curse.
"Command"? You make me sick.
Missed me.
Vulgar, hideous serpent, I shall deliver you to hell's doorstep.
Get out of my room!
Angelique!
Get out of my house.
Your house?
Enough trickery.
I worshipped you.
Plagued me.
Adored you!
Despised you!
Fine.
If Collins blood built this house...
...then let us bathe in it.
Leave us alone.
Carolyn?
Carolyn, my God.
I'm a werewolf, okay? Let's not make a big deal out of it.
Woof.
What have you done to my daughter?
Well, Liz...
...your perfect Collins pedigree lacked a bit of substance...
...so I sent the werewolf who bit Carolyn in her crib.
Just like I made David no better than a bastard...
...when I sent his mommy to the ocean floor to have tea with the tuna.
And as for you, my love...
...I killed your mother and father.
I cursed your family, my Barnabas.
They kept us apart.
They never understood, we're the same.
We're meant to be.
Leave him alone.
I think I'll kill you first, orphan.
David, get out!
Your quarrel is with me.
My quarrel is with all of you.
I'm warning you.
This is your last chance.
Let us go.
And what will you do if I don't, you little bastard?
Not me.
My mom.
Go!
David, come on.
Willie, come on.
So this is how it ends.
So quiet...
...as if you were asleep.
You know, there was a time when I might have loved you.
We could have spent eternity together.
We still...
can.
You never wanted my love.
You wanted to possess me.
No.
I love you, Barnabas.
You cannot love, Angelique.
That is your curse.
Take it.
Victoria!
She said Widow's Hill.
What do we do now?
What we've always done.
Endure.
I thought I'd lost you.
You have lost me.
I live in the light, Barnabas.
You live in the shadows.
I'll grow old and die, and you'll live forever.
We will find a way, my love.
There's only one way.
No. I will not see you suffer as I do. Never.
No!
Oh, Victoria.
My sweet Victoria.
Victoria.
Josette.
It is said that blood is thicker than water.
It is what defines us.
Binds us.
Curses us.
My name is Barnabas Collins...
...and my curse has finally been broken.
