The siege at Collinwood continues as the dark and evil Judah Zachary tightens his stranglehold on those who live in the great house. Carolyn has now been reminded of a terror that had been deeply concealed, and now Barnabas Collins and Julia Hoffman fear for their very lives as the knowledge she possesses is now sure to be spread to all those who have until now, known nothing of the sinister and dark origin of this man they have considered their friend. Meanwhile, the cruel warlock continues to weave his destructive web of hatred...
Trevor Halliburton closes the doors to the East wing drawing room. Carolyn stands in the corridor with a look of horror on her face. Her hands cover her mouth as she can hardly believe what she has just relived. She turns to Trevor and says, "How did you know? I don't understand how I could have forgotten about the monster he is, and what he did to me, to David, and to poor Dr. Woodard! How could I forget all his cruelty?" Trevor took her arm in his and leads her out of the East wing saying, "When he was temporarily cured of the disorder, all memory of the events disappeared with it. He has deceived you and your entire family for years and the good doctor has been his willing accomplice all along the way." Carolyn looks at him again and says, "But I still don't understand how you knew! Why is he growing so old?" Trevor grinned and said, "He is getting exactly what he deserves. Why should a man live almost 200 years, cheating death, and remain youthful? He will age to actual number of years since his birth... and then... He shall die!" Carolyn nods her head in disbelief at all that she has seen. They then pass in front of David's bedroom door. Trevor then turns to her and says, "There's something else you should see, my dear! He opens the bedroom door and waves a hand toward it indicating she should enter. She looks at him curiously for a moment, and then turns to the open door. Upon entering, she sees three bodies lying face down. One dressed in David's robe, another wore Hallie's gown, and the third she immediately recognized as being dressed in Maggie Evans dress. Her hands again rush to her mouth and her eyes widen as three dramatic notes sound. CLICK HERE

Carolyn rushes to the bedside, the camera being careful not to show the faces of the extras dressed in the familiar clothing. "David!" she screams out trying to rouse him. Trevor's demeanor changes as he approaches and takes her by the arm and pulls her toward the door. Wide eyed and confused, she looks at him and asks, "What's wrong with them? Why couldn't I waken them?" Trevor gives the door a shove and says, "Because, my dear, they are DEAD!" "NO! They can't be dead!" she says as she attempts to enter the door again. Trevor blocks the door with his body, not allowing her to re-enter. She looks at him, noticing this unusual change that has come over him and asks, "Trevor, what is going on here? You're behaving very strangely! What's wrong?" Halliburton takes her by the arm and says, "In time, my dear, in time! For now, there is more I have to show you. But first, I have a couple of matters to attend to!" Carolyn looks at him in confusion as he roughly drags her down the hall and opens the door to her own bedroom. Thrusting her into the room, he then closes the door, locking it from the outside. He then turns and disappears down the hall. A confused Carolyn stands pounding on her door calling out. "Trevor, let me out. Let me out!"
The woods near the Old House. A rustling is heard and suddenly Quentin emerges into the open. He looks up as if trying to see where he is. Camera shows a familiar scene of the Old House in the distance. Looking encouraged, he proceeds on. Camera 2 opens on the inside of the Old House. The front door opens and Quentin rushes in and pauses for a moment. "The basement. That's the most likely place to find what I'm looking for." He says aloud. He then proceeds to the large metal door. He descends the stairs going down into the basement. Pausing a moment, he looks all about the main corridor finding nothing. He opens a couple of trunks, only to find books and old clothing. He looks inside the rooms he and Willie had used to sleep in. A flashlight lay on the table beside Willie's cot. Quentin picks it up. He turns it on to see if it works. A brilliant ring of light blurs the camera. He switches it off, seeming happy to have accomplished at least a part of his task. He places the flashlight in his jacket pocket and continues looking in the catacombed cellar of the Old House. Rounding a corner in a long unused area, he sees a rope coiled up lying on a dusty old bench. He grabs it quickly and tests it to see if the moisture may have rotted it. It seemed still quite sturdy. Quickly he turns and exits. He emerges from the cellar with the rope in tow. As he approached the front door he sees a uniformed officer standing there holding a gun on him. "What's the meaning of this, Officer?" Quentin demands, obviously in a hurry to be on his way. "Who are you?" The officer demanded of him. Quentin looked at him and replied, "Quentin Collins. You still didn't answer my question, what's this all about?" The officer pointed the gun at him indicating he should return to the drawing room. "If you don't mind, Mr. Collins, I will ask the questions here. Have a seat Mr. Collins." Quentin, looking shocked, complied hesitantly with the officer's demands. He sits in the arm chair and looks inquisitively at the officer awaiting an explanation. The officer picks up the coiled rope Quentin had laid in front of the chair he sat in. He then said, "Planning to do a little climbing, Mr. Collins?" Quentin paused, seeking to find an answer to provide the officer. "Uh, yes. I dropped an expensive cuff link over Widow's Hill. They are a family heirloom. I was going to use this rope to let myself over the edge." The officer looks at him as if not thoroughly convinced of his story. "Let me see the soles of your shoes, Mr. Collins." He demanded. Quentin looked at the officer quite bewildered at this unusual request. He holds up a shoe for the officer to see. "Hmm, mud caked in the soles. Fresh mud! Your clothes are wet, both indicating you've been outdoors recently." Quentin rose in shock at the officer's statements and the officer quickly points the gun in a warning fashion indicating Quentin should not try anything sudden. Quentin then said, "Now look, I told you I was at Widow's Hill earlier, and it was raining, so sure my clothes are wet. I don't know what you're getting at." The officer then said, "A few nights ago, one of my fellow officers caught you trying to enter Collinwood in spite of the quarantine. He told us all so we could be on the lookout for you in case you tried it again." Quentin looked curiously and said, "I don't deny I tried to get inside to help my family, but what does have to do with why you're here now?" The officer then replied, "The window you tried to enter that night was found forced tonight, Mr. Collins. Muddy shoeprints found outside the window. Shoes of just about your size." Quentin looks at the deputy in disbelief and says, "Then take me there right now. The deputy that was guarding that window will tell you it wasn't me!" The officer then looked at him coldly and replied, "I'm afraid that won't be possible, Mr. Collins. You see, He's dead. His neck was broken. I'm placing you under arrest Mr. Collins. The charge, suspicion of murder!" (Quentin stares in horror as three dramatic notes sound.) CLICK HERE

"That's right Mr. Collins. You're under arrest for suspicion of murder." Quentin looks at the deputy in total disbelief and says, "Now wait just a minute, there is no way it could have been me. I told you I was at Widow's Hill!" The deputy looked at him and said, "Well as soon as whoever was with you can corroborate your story, I'll be happy to release you. Until then, you are the prime suspect! I can't take the risk of exposing the townspeople if you have been inside that house. So we're going to go see what the sheriff wants to do with you." He points the gun at the door indicating he wants Quentin to leave. Holding the gun on him, he follows him to the front door. (Dramatic note sounds.) Quentin's eyes suddenly grow large and he clutches at his mid section. "Oh God no! No!" he cries out in pain. The deputy looks on still pointing the gun at him and says, "Surely you don't expect me to fall for that tired old trick?" Quentin lets out a loud yell and then frantically says, "You gotta get out of here. NOW!" The deputy looks on shaking his head negatively and says, "I'm not going anywhere without..." his eyes suddenly bulge as he becomes speechless. (Long dramatic drumbeats begin.) He sees the hair growing on Quentin's hand. His head slowly turns side to side, his expression saying that he cannot believe what he is witnessing. A loud growl is heard and the camera reveals the werewolf standing. It looks wide eyed at the deputy and moves toward him. The deputy, suddenly coming to his senses, realizes he has the gun in his hand. He points it and fires. The creature lets out a pitiful yell and grabs the wound. The deputy continues holding the gun on him. The creature then looks up at him again and angrily charges at the deputy. Wide eyed, the deputy fires again, seeing this second shot has no effect on the creature. He fires again and again. From the deputy's perspective, we see the werewolf lunge at him. A horrible scream is heard as camera goes to black. (Five ascending dramatic notes sound.)
Carolyn lies on her bed crying. Her thoughts are heard aloud as if she were speaking. "Why did Trevor lock me in here? Why is he acting so strange? David, Hallie, and Maggie! Dead! Why? Why won't he tell me what's happening?" Scene cuts to the hallway. The door at end of the hallway is slowly opening. Adam looks cautiously in every direction as he slowly closes the door behind him. He takes a couple of steps and pauses. He hears the sound of Carolyn crying behind the locked door. A look of sadness crosses his face. He walks up to her door and tries to turn the door knob. It will not open. The sound of the door being tried catches Carolyn's attention and she cries out. "Trevor? Is that you? Please let me out, Trevor!" Adam again tries to open it, but is frustrated when it won't. He then calls out, "Carolyn. Stand away from the door!" A look of curiosity crosses her face as she realizes she should recognize that voice, but doesn't. She steps back from the door and it bursts open. She looks up at him in utter shock and recognition and says, "Adam!" She walks closer looking at his young, scar free face and says, "Your scars! Adam, it's incredible!" Then her demeanor changes as she realizes the situation again and she asks, "What are you doing here, Adam?" He puts his hands on her shoulders and looks at her endearingly and says, "I have to get you out of here, Carolyn. You are in danger!" Carolyn looked at him and asked, "Danger? What kind of danger? Adam, I don't understand?" Adam squeezed her shoulders pleadingly saying, "Carolyn, please! There's no time for me to explain. You have to come with me now. Before it's too late!" She continued to look at him in shock, needing answers to her questions. Realizing she was not going to stop asking questions, He grabs her and picks her up and quickly carries her down the hall. He opens the door at the end of the hall and carries her inside. The door closes behind them. (Dramatic roll.)

(There is total silence. The camera opens on a flickering candle stand in the drawing room of the Old House. Slowly, ever so slowly it pans downward until it reveals the prone legs of a man. Slowly it pans upward showing torn clothing and a bloody hand. It ventures past a torn uniform shirt. A badge lies on the floor beside the man. Finally the camera holds on the frozen, wide eyed, horror filled face of the dead officer. A lonely howl is heard in the distance. Scene switches to shot of the night sky, the full moon shining brightly. Another lonely howl is heard.) From behind some brush, the frightened werewolf skulks into view. He looks in all directions like a terrified animal. (Low rumbling dramatic beats begin.) Camera slowly pulls in on the terrified eyes.(Dramatic music gradually increases in volume.) The wolf jumps on a stone embankment, and again looks in all directions. He suddenly springs out of sight. (Camera holds on the last place he stood as the dramatic roll increases greatly. It builds to a mighty crescendo, ending in three dramatic notes.) CLICK HERE
