Julia, says Barnabas quietly, you have been with him. (In the biblical sense?) She shakes her head-no, she says. He has done this to you, says Barnabas. No, she insists, still shaking her head. He has made you do this, accuses Barnabas. Don't talk about him, she begs. Julia, why not--are you so terrified of him? he asks. I told you to go while you can! insists Julia. And leave you to him? says Barnabas. Leave me, yes, it's the only chance you have, she wails. But why is he so terrifying that you can't mention his name? demands Barnabas-say it, Julia! No, she cries. SAY IT! he orders. NO! she repeats, shaking her head, throwing her hands out. "Then it will be my will against his," says Barnabas. Let me go, says Julia, near tears-he's watching us, I know it, somewhere outside this house, he's watching, he knows what's happening here-"Barnabas, go, go!" Look at me, Julia, commands Barnabas. She refuses, turning away. Look at me, he repeats-you can hear me, you will do as I say-"Now, look at me!" Her head swivels around with reluctance; they lock eyes. "You can escape," she says. "Not without you," he responds tenderly. "You can't take me with you," she says, shaking he head. He moves in close, almost within kissing distance, and adds, "Never without you." You won't be able to take me, she warns. I will, he insists -you must believe me, I will. I can't, she says. Once we are back in our own time, he can't get to you, he reminds her-"You must depend upon me, not him!" She tips her head back and sobs. He says it again--"You must depend upon me!" Julia falls into his embrace, crying[/spoiler]
Lovely to see John Harkins today.
Truly one of the unsung heroes of DS.
I remember Garth Blackwood growling MUST a lot so perhaps he'll show up in this series eventually.
