Julia outlines to Quentin how it's been since Barnabas got back--I think something happened to him in the past, something that forces him to act this way. Julia, says Q, I just lost the one woman I ever loved, finally found my portrait--I've SEEN myself. Quentin, she says, what you need is a new interest--the important thing is you're here, and the only one capable of doing what must be done. Sure, he says sarcastically, because my strength is the strength of 10 men, because my heart is pure--you and your unholy belief in the Collins family--well, here is one Collins that doesn't even have a name--just how is he going to explain himself--as Quentin Collins, born in the 19th century, once a ghost and tormentor of children? Quentin, there is a way, she says, if you'll help Barnabas. He puts a hand on her shoulder, his voice gentler. Julia, you have done many things for me, he says, and I appreciate it--do one more thing for me--LEAVE ME ALONE!-- just let me think about things--you don't worry--I won't go anywhere without telling you, I promise. He pours himself another drink.[/spoiler]
As you've probably already discerned from today's graphic, we're getting into more material that doesn't appear in the film as it currently stands (or in the 97 minute version). However, the scenes we'll be dealing with today are not on Darren Gross' list of scenes that weren't recovered, so chances are they do appear in the 129 minute version:
Laura Murdoch Radcliffe, says the caretaker (I'm tired of typing that!), taking down another book--her other records, they must be here--her parents, her ancestry. Are you sure I can't do that for you? asks Frank, as he watches the caretaker searching the shelves--you can tell me where to look. Vicki looks through one of the volumes. Oh, no, says the caretaker, they wouldn't like it.[/spoiler]

He racked up his 8th with this one - and even more are probably still possible...
Why can't you leave this room, why? asks Will. Can't you guess? asks Barnabas. I suppose I can, says Will, facing Barnabas again. They hear Maggie's voice outside calling to Will and Carolyn--is anybody home? "Maggie," whispers Barnabas to Will. Carolyn comes out to greet Maggie--how are you? asks the latter. All right, answers Carolyn--Barnabas mentioned to us that you were back--how's Quentin? He seems much better, says Maggie--I just took him to the hospital for tests, and he seems to be coming along fine--I can't understand what went wrong. You must feel very relieved, says Carolyn, and moves to stand in front of the secret bookcase. I do, says Maggie--I just wish I could stay at the hospital with him--I should apologize for coming by so late and just walking in like this, but I did want Barnabas to know that everything seems to be all right now--he's not here, is he? No, he isn't, says Carolyn. Perhaps you could give him the message, says Maggie--tell Will, too--I'll let you know the results of the tests. Inside the secret room, Barnabas listens to Maggie's voice. I would hate to think of what would have happened if Barnabas hadn't been there when Quentin had his attack, says Maggie--Liz told me how calm he was, took complete charge--it's difficult to believe he's a distant relative, but more like someone who had known us all our lives, and how strange that is. Barnabas listens, smiling a bit, liking what he's hearing. Carolyn agrees--it's strange. I should get back to Collinwood, says Maggie--Liz and the others will want to hear the news, too, and the doctor might call tonight--it's good seeing you, Carolyn, she adds, and leaves.[/spoiler]
Will says to Barnabas, "It's SHE you're hiding from, isn't it, yes, when I was writing the book, you mentioned, how much she reminded you, in the other time, of Josette?" That's enough, Will, orders Barnabas (notice that they're on a first name basis since Barnabas bit him). And this Maggie reminds you of that one, doesn't she? asks Will. Outside, a dog howls. Open the panel, commands Barnabas. WHAT? asks Will. I said open the panel! Barnabas repeats, clearly beset by blood lust. No, you don't want to leave here, says Will, you know you don't--you told me to stop you! Nothing can stop me now, says Barnabas. Will pulls out the cross and holds it in front of the vampire's face. Barnabas turns away. This is what you wanted me to do, Will reminds him.
