Give me the gun, Judith, Edward asks. She does, docilely. He tells Trask it's her own gun, brought back from France by Grandmother. He examines it--three shots have been fired. He asks Judith again what happened. Trask feels she can't tell him anything at the moment. Where has she been? asks Edward. Judith repeats, "It has to be done." Desperate for more information, Edward presses her, pointing out that they can't help her if she doesn't help them, but she is not forthcoming. I did as he told me to do, says Judith. The vampire, states Trask. What did he tell you to do, who is he? demands Edward. I'm very tired, Judith says--I want to go inside and sit down--there's nothing pressing that needs my immediate attention.Edward asks Trask, is Judith completely mad? Not mad--possessed! says Trask--by a will much stronger than her own. Edward asks, what should we do? Trask advises Edward to take her up to bed--sometimes sleep separates the real from the unreal, strengthen the mind. Edward wonders about the three missing bullets. That will come out in time, says Trask, but right now, I want to thank the powers that be for sending Judith back to us, then seek divine guidance against the evil spirit possessing her and plaguing this house--I've been successful with the higher powers in the past. I hope your success continues, says Edward--Judith needs it desperately. Edward takes Judith's arm and gently suggests she get some sleep. Yes, I must sleep, agrees Judith. Edward helps her upstairs. Trask closes the double doors and kneels, hands in a praying posture. He asks for the Lord's help; together, we must help this poor, afflicted woman possessed by an evil spirit of darkness. With Your help, we shall drive the demon back to hell from whenst it came.[/spoiler]
"Sarah, my little Sarah," croons Barnabas, "you have come back to me!" He asks he why she didn't come to him sooner. Julia, recuperating from Barnabas' throttling, lifts herself painfully from the floor and into a chair by the fireplace. "You're back with me now, and you're going to stay with me, aren't you?" Barnabas hopefully asks his little sister--"we're going to be all right, and everything will be just fine, won't it?" He approaches his sister, who takes a step away from him. What's wrong? Asks Barnabas. Sarah informs him that she's very, very angry with him for hurting people. "Only when it was necessary," Barnabas responds. That isn't true, says Sarah, and both of them know it. It's over and done with, Barnabas assures her, and everything will be fine as long as you're with me. "No," replies Sarah, "you're not through doing bad things. She reminds him of a rhyme he taught her: "That wicked is wicked is well understood, the wicked are punished, so you must be good."You must be good, she tells him, or you will be punished. Barnabas implores her to stay, but she firmly tells him that she is going and will never come back--that will be his punishment! As she begins to fade from his sight, she says, "I know there is good and there is evil because I learned it from you--but you've forgotten it, Barnabas, and you have to learn is all over again--I'll never come back until you do. . .goodbye, Barnabas." "Please don't leave me!" begs Barnabas, covering his face with his hands--"I forbid you to leave--I beg you to stay, Sarah!" He begins to cry behind his hands.[/spoiler]
Valerie, holding in her arms the covered box containing the head of Judah Zachary, races in at this very moment. "Stop, you're killing the wrong man!" she declares. Valerie! cries Barnabas. Let's get on with the execution, insists Trask immediately. "No!" cries Valerie, "Quentin and Desmond are innocent--there is the man who is guilty--Gerard Stiles!" Stop him! someone yells; a guard restrains Gerard. I beg you to listen to me! cries Valerie. I will listen to you, Judge Vail assures her--everyone stay right where they are until this matter is explained--and Mr. Stiles, he adds, you must refrain from any further demonstrations. Valerie places the head on a nearby flat surface and pulls off the cover. "She's insane, Your Honor!" insists Gerard. That is for me to decide, says the Judge--you have made a serious charge against this young man. And I can prove it, your honor, says Valerie.[/spoiler]
