The Originals (2013–2018): Season 3, Episode 17 - Behind the Black Horizon - full transcript
When its discovered that Freya has been kidnapped and is in the hands of a dangerous new threat, the Mikaelson brothers are forced to put aside their differences in order to save her before...
Previously on the originals...
Freya:
If this prophecy is fulfilled,
They will all fall.
One by friend,
One by foe, and one by family.
But now my sire link is undone.
You're going to run.
Elijah:
Don't stop driving until
You're absolutely certain
that you are safe.
Klaus:
You don't have to remind me
How precious my cargo is.
The spell you used
brought me back
As I was when
I died in this body.
It's worse than I remember.
The rage,
the hunger...
It's been growing worse
since I came back.
(panting)
There was never any hope
for you, brother.
Finn.
And the spell decreed
That the white oak tree
that gave us life
Could also take it away.
The ancestors...
(eerie whoosh)
Vincent:
They want me to help him.
Hello, luv.
(exhales)
A mikaelson witch,
A white oak bullet,
And I'd say we have
the recipe for some real fun.
After all that
flirtation,
This is your idea
of a first date?
(lucien laughs)
Think of it as a date
with destiny, luv.
Though I admit,
three is a crowd.
Vincent is a necessary evil,
I'm afraid,
Here to keep you in check
should you misbehave.
Vincent:
Yeah, you're leaving
out the part
Where I ain't exactly
here of my own volition, man.
The ancestors must have
lost their damn minds.
Quite the opposite.
I've never dealt
with a saner bunch.
See, when I arrived
in new orleans,
I made them a deal.
Upon my request, they would
grant me access to the regent,
And in exchange,
I'd provide for them
A world without
the originals.
Ah... Didn't take
much convincing.
They do despise your family.
We're here.
Yeah, but where the hell
is "here," man?
What...?
How disappointing!
Two powerful witches
who cannot sense
When you're treading
on hallowed ground?
Welcome... To mystic falls.
The place where it all began.
Where esther mikaelson
created the vampire species.
Under the shade of
the infamous white oak tree,
She crafted the spell that
turned each of her children,
And I mean to replicate
that spell.
I have everything I need
To become what I deserve to be.
You want to become an original.
Do I look like
the sort who'd settle
For some shoddy original model?
I intend to be an upgrade.
You're insane
To think I'd ever help
you craft any spell.
Oh, no, no, no,
you misunderstand.
Vincent will handle the spell.
From you...
I need something
a bit more intimate.
(screams)
Seems your friend stood us up.
Vincent's not
exactly my friend.
Well, since we bothered to be
the only ones who turned up,
It would be a shame
to leave empty-handed.
Why not head back,
get up to no good?
(quiet laugh)
Something's not right.
Vincent said we were up against
a "common threat."
Now he's missing.
St. James is
the one place in new orleans
Where magic doesn't work.
Why would a regent
want to meet somewhere
Where he can't do magic?
(sighs)
Davina, I'm trying to warn you.
This is his.
Vincent (on phone): Davina,
listen-- I know we are not
On the best of terms, but I need
you to listen to me, okay?
Um, we're in serious trouble.
Now, I'm recording this here
because it's...
It's free from magic,
And magic is our enemy.
The ancestors got me on the hook
Doing some pretty twisted magic
and I want no part of it,
But they're forcing me
to help lucien castle.
And if you don't help me,
Freya mikaelson's gonna die.
They forced me to take her,
Then they had me put up
a cloaking spell,
So we can't be tracked.
Now, lucien's taking us
out of town someplace,
I don't know where...
But there's a loophole.
(video clicks off)
Just how am I the loophole?
Last year, when esther
first brought us back,
I got put in the body
of a gormless twit,
But you got housed
in one of the most powerful
Witch bodies in the city:
Vincent's.
And even after all this time,
there's still an echo
Of a body-soul connection
between you two.
Vincent: ...And davina, that's
where you come into play.
I need a powerful witch
that's off the ancestors' radar.
I want you to find
The thread
Between me and finn.
Have you ever done
anything like this?
I don't even know
if it's possible.
But I do have vincent's blood.
If I can take finn's blood
And do the spell right,
I should be able
to track vincent down.
Finn:
I should have sensed
Something was wrong
when freya didn't call.
Now lucien has a head start.
(sighs)
go, witch.
Tend to your spells.
I won't rest
until she's found.
Behold,
the selfless martyr.
First, he wants
to rip davina's head off
For trapping him in his body.
Now he can't wait to be spelled.
Finn...
You and I shall
go together.
Kol, you stay here
with davina, please.
You're going with him?
So the two people responsible
For not destroying the white oak
when they had the chance,
Thus putting us in
this bloody mess,
Are now off to try
and fix it.
That's just marvelous.
I mean, what could
possibly go wrong?
Davina:
Kol, look at me.
I don't know this magic.
I need your help.
Come on.
Let's go.
We should get started.
Do not give me
orders, brother.
And make no mistake.
I do not look to you as an ally,
Or even family.
The only reason
I tolerate your presence
Is the hope of
finding freya.
Good luck, brother.
Hayley:
Hope's down for the count.
She fell asleep as soon as
mary started the car.
I doubt she'll miss either
of us over the next few days.
So...
Which of these kingmaker offices
should we hit up first?
There's ten of them.
What?
Lucien has revealed
his true nature.
He's taken freya.
And now it seems
her rescue depends
On elijah working with my
ever-reliable brother finn.
Oh.
And you want to go back to new
orleans to head up the hunt?
Fine.
You should go.
I'm sticking
with kingmaker, though.
Lucien's working very hard to
cover up these wolf kidnappings
And I want to know why.
No.
The wolves, freya's abduction--
It can't all be coincidence.
We'll let my brothers
pursue the obvious path.
You and I...
Will pursue this one.
No doubt all roads...
Lead to the same
treacherous bastard.
(freya whimpering)
Okay.
Okay, man, that's enough!
Hmm, right you are.
That should just about do it.
Here, let me see it.
Lucien:
Enough!
There is a spell
that needs doing.
Lest the ancestors melt
That precocious
little brain of yours.
What's that?
That's not exactly need-to-know.
This part's all you.
(exhales)
This is it.
This is the spell
that created the originals.
Took an entire coven ages
to reverse-engineer it.
And then I had to get
my hands on this.
No.
No way, man.
I'm not doing this for you.
Wh... Ah! Ah...
Seems the ancestors
beg to differ.
(screaming in pain)
Now get to work
Like a good chap.
(sighs)
(chanting)
They should keep
heading northeast.
What, northeast?
They've been driving northeast
for an hour, luv.
We need to get
a tad more specific
Before they hit
the atlantic ocean.
The soul-blood
connection
Is not as strong as
a locator spell.
The most I can
narrow it down to
Is virginia;
northern virginia.
You're bloody joking.
We were born
in northern virginia.
There's a one-horse town
there now called mystic falls.
We were turned
into vampires there.
That's too much
of a coincidence.
Can you please be
a little more precise?
No. I need to boost
the signal somehow.
Maybe some
black cohosh...
Black cohosh won't do it!
Sorry.
Look, I have a better idea.
A blood rider.
A tibetan singing bowl
I had cast into a dark object
in the 1800s.
It's like
an echo chamber.
With finn's blood,
we can amplify
The connection
he has with vincent.
But, like everything of mine,
klaus's ex has it now.
I guess I'll just have
to pry it out of her hands.
Hey!
Cami is my friend.
Now, if you can't play nice,
You're gonna sit here
and I'll go get it.
Okay.
I'll behave.
Let's go.
(vincent chanting)
All this effort
To become a sad copy
of an original?
You think
you can just
Wake up one day
And become
top of the food chain?
(chanting continues quietly)
It did not happen overnight,
I assure you.
The truth is,
I used to think
your siblings gods.
Until my love was stolen
And our lives taken
by their compulsion.
Once free, I realized
They were not worthy of all
that had been gifted them.
I decided, then,
That I would become, in flesh,
What I have always been:
Their better.
I have engineered
every second since
Into achieving this moment.
You faked the prophecy.
Oh, no.
When I found the prophecy
foretelling your family's end,
I knew it was true...
And that I was
its living embodiment.
It is my rise
That shall be their downfall.
♪
(crossing bells clanging)
(train whistle blows
in distance)
Of course.
Mystic falls.
Birthplace of
all our sorrows.
(train whistle blows)
So are we to drive around
this entire pathetic town,
Hoping to run into my sister
before lucien murders her?
Kol has a plan.
Kol and his
ridiculous gambits.
900 years in a box...
And zero patience.
It's all a joke
to you, isn't it?
"900 years in a box"
just rolls off your tongue
As if the time passed
without consequence.
I assure you, it did not.
What are you
suggesting?
We never experienced anything,
Least of all
the passage of time.
Being daggered for decades
And being daggered for centuries
are very different things.
It starts off
as a dim pinprick of light,
Growing brighter
year after year,
A slow consciousness
That I was paralyzed.
Entombed in my own mind.
(sighs)
That despair...
Utter loneliness...
All amplified and made endless.
I know it's here somewhere.
Hard to keep track of
all your stolen goods?
Kol, my family did
not steal these.
They just kept
the very deadly toys
You left strewn about this city
From falling into
even deadlier hands.
You know what, luv?
I'm here now.
So maybe I should
take back what's mine.
Let's see what happens
if you try.
Oh, that sounds like fun to me.
Kol!
Get out.
I am sorry.
I think he's getting used
To being a vampire again.
I'm sure you can relate.
Yeah.
If that's his problem.
What does that mean?
I've seen that look before,
davina.
My uncle...
After he was cursed.
Kol's not cursed.
I'd be able to tell.
Would you?
Look, maybe I'm wrong.
Just... Be careful, okay?
Thanks, cami.
(indistinct conversations)
How will we know when or if
This magic trick of kol's works?
He's says you'll know.
It's strange.
The birthplace of our
very misfortune,
Beyond that hill.
Do you recall the first time
we fled together, finn?
We were but
children.
Nothing but the clothes
on our back,
Desire we had no idea
how to control
And a father hell-bent on
erasing us from the earth.
The first of many
times we ran together
Over the next 100 years,
Till you all left me
entombed for nine centuries.
You were a danger.
Danger?
Yes.
Klaus and kol killed
everything that moved.
Yet I was the one considered
too dangerous to undagger?
Despite their blood-lust, you
were the poison that crippled...
Poison?
I anchored us.
You despised us.
You despised yourself.
Terrified of everything
that we became.
You threatened
our very survival, finn,
Just as you have every time
We made the mistake
of freeing you from that box.
I was made that way
because of that box!
Every time I close my eyes,
I go back to that black horizon,
That place where I was
abandoned and forgotten
By my own family.
So, yeah,
I came out mad.
And I remain so.
Does he just build these
from a kit or something?
It's the exact same
for the last five offices.
Same windows, same plants...
And inside,
Same generic
abstract art,
Same compellable
receptionist.
Are you sure you wouldn't be
better off with your brothers?
I can do the leg work.
And split up the team now?
Just when I'm discovering
your carpool karaoke skills?
I think not.
(laughs)
No, lucien is
playing a game here.
Each unassuming little
office building we search,
The more sure I am of it.
We keep going.
Together.
Even if we have to scour
100 of these poxy places.
I hate it here.
This place birthed
all our pain and sorrow.
I refuse to let it be the place
where our sister dies.
Let us not wait for kol
and his witch's tricks--
Let us simply tear
this town apart and find her.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

See, I just ran every single
vampire out of this town, so...
Visiting hours are,

We're here for

And potentially destroy.
Do tell, where are the areas
off-limits to general staff?
You just wait right here...
And I'll have someone out here
To help you with your inquiry.
(guards shouting,
alarm blaring)
Shall we?
Ladies first.
(grunting)
Ah!
(gunfire continues)
(alarm continues blaring)
(alarm blaring)
(gasps)
(neck snaps)
(chuckles)
They're all wolves.
(gasps)
(moans)
Klaus, they're still alive.
(sniffs)
This one's a vampire.
What the hell
is lucien up to here?
Elijah mikaelson.
Matthew donovan.
How adorably inconvenient.
Unfortunately, we don't
have time to play right now.
I'll pass your regards
along to rebekah.
Finn, isn't it?
Sorry,
I suck at names,
But I never forget a face.
Especially when it's someone
I've already killed.
That was right over there,
right?
Did you come back for some more?
Do you expect to scare me
With that crude little toy?
Why are you here?
My sister freya has been taken.
Yes, we have another.
Option one:
You go about your business
like a good little boy.
Option two:
Violent disembowelment.
What's it gonna be?
I'm gonna go with option three:
This is my town.
My business.
Especially when it comes
to anything with fangs.
Now, you, me and these
ten wooden hollow points
Can stand here
and argue that fact, but...
How much time
does your sister really have?
With finn's blood,
We can amplify the connection
he has with vincent.
All right,
let go of everything.
Feel the vibration.
(tone sounding)
Now, harmonize with the
cadence of the drone.
(davina humming)
And once they're
both in harmony,
It should continue by itself.
And it's up to you
to concentrate.
To amplify it.
Finn?
I know where they are.
(grunts)
Freya, I'm so sorry.
Can't let you do that.
(grunting)
Aah!
(moaning)
You're making a mistake.
(shouts)
(growls)
(panting)
No one has to die today.
Oh, oh, sweet freya.
Today is the beginning
of an awful lot of death.
Starting with yours,
I'm afraid.
(grunting)
Truly...
You and I could've been
quite the thing.
Elijah:
Lucien?
Oh.
Just in time
for the party, lads.
Cheers.
Let the fun begin.
Can either of you
get to me
Faster than I can rip your
darling sister's head off?
(chuckles)
didn't think so.
(gasps)
Oh, you clever bastard.
Hold her.
Hold her head.
Help me with this one.
(grunts)
No vampire blood.
That's okay.
The others drank.
I'm a hybrid.
Go on.
Go on.
He needed their venom.
Lucien's cure
for werewolf bites.
He harvested
the venom he needed,
Then reverse-engineered
a vaccine.
Clever stuff.
And her?
The dead vampire?
It was the wolf venom
that killed her.
Just lucien testing his cure.
Why does he need
to test out something
He knows already works?
(gasps)
it's okay.
You're okay.
(coughs)
(gasps)
where is he?
That guy?
Freya: No...
Dead.
No.
Listen to me.
It's done. It's over.
You don't understand.
He drank the serum.
He wanted you to kill him.
You helped him take
the final step.
(gunshot)
(laughs)
Poor show, poor show.
Come on, gents.
You can do better, surely.
What do you think, elijah?
This new power, it suits me, no?
I've pondered this--
Whom to end first:
You or klaus?
Thought him.
But now that I'm here,
I think it should be you.
(snarling)
(grunting)
(screams)
A barrier spell.
How delicious.
I do appreciate a bit of spice
being thrown into the hunt.
It's not very fun
if the quarry just rolls over
And offers its neck, is it?
I can keep this up
as long as I need to.
I don't doubt it,
you little minx.
Never mind.
I have waited
a thousand years.
I can wait a tad longer.
I'm gonna enjoy
Making this last a long time.
(wheezing)
(trumpet playing
jazzy melody)
Davina: Well, at least
your sister's safe.
Kol: And the man that pretended
to be a family friend,
But actually hated us
for an eternity,
Has turned himself
into some creature.
Here which, for all we know,
could be the bloody beast
The prophecy said
would end us!
Davina: Hey...
All of this?
I don't think it has anything
To do with you being a vampire.
Cami said it might
be magic-related.
And I think she's right.
Kol, you're not yourself.
Not myself?
And which self
am I supposed to be?
I have been a witch,
A vampire,
A ghost, a witch in
somebody else's body.
And now,
I am a bloody vampire again.
Now, you think
that I'm cursed.
But I think it's everybody else
Getting into my bloody business
And not knowing
when to back off.
(shuddering breaths)
(shuddering gasp)
Freya's safe.
What about the others?
Well, finn's in a bad way.
Suffering the past eight hours
from lucien's bite.
Elijah thinks I should
return home and heal him.
Ease his pain.
Klaus, you should go.
As soon as these
last few recover,
I'll get them home,
gather what I can and
Torch this place.
No.
Finn can purge it himself.
He's earned the agony.
Besides, you know how much
I love burning things
to the ground.
Klaus, when you said
that you wanted
To work together
for hope's sake,
I wanted to see
what that looked like.
And now I do.
I appreciate
You helping me
rescue the wolves,
But if there is any chance
of making finn an ally,
You should take it.
Go.
Don't leave me in here!
Don't leave me alone!
Put him down.
Freya: Hey, hey, hey,
you're not alone, finn.
I'm here.
(gasping weakly):
Don't leave...
Why is he
talking like this?
It's hallucinations
Of our betrayal.
It's his nightmare.
Well, he looks
(grunts) ...Awful.
Werewolf bite.
That's got to hurt, mate.
So, lucien's a bloody hybrid.
We don't know what he is.
His venom seems to
work twice as fast.
That's good.
Maybe it'll work through
his system twice as fast.
Or it's twice as lethal.
Now, if niklaus
doesn't get here in time,
He might die.
With a bit of luck.
What is wrong with you?
Elijah:
Behave yourselves!
Both of you.
Sibling squabbling.
How familiar.
Although the teams
seem to have changed.
Someone care to tell me why?
Our brother needs us.
(moaning, wheezing)
Go outside and tell the others
To keep their eyes peeled
for trouble.
As soon as this place burns,
I'll take you
back to the crescents.
I'm not from there.
One was.
He died last week.
We're from the
seven packs:
Deep water, malraux, basroq,
Barry, poldark...
I'm a paxon.
Wow.
He had to look long and hard
to find one of you.
They wanted our venom.
They kept...
Pumping it into her over
and over and over again.
Then they'd heal her
with some drug.
Except the last time.
They shot her up
with something so powerful...
...There was no saving her.
Go.
I'm gonna burn this hell hole.
(finn shudders, gasps)
Thank you, brother.
How are you feeling?
I feel...
Strangely euphoric.
I've been known
to have that effect.
(clapping slowly)
What a precious
family moment.
Pardon me, while I go and gouge
out my eyes with a hot poker.
I thank even you, kol.
Your little witch
actually came through.
(sighs):
Today...
(clears throat)
...I saw a glimpse
Of your coveted
always and forever.
And... I... (coughs)
Finn! Finn!
Oh, what's happening?!
What's happening?
(finn shouts)
What's wrong with him?
His body, it's dying.
No, no, it's not possible!
I cured him!
(shouts hoarsely, gasps):
Freya...!
Hey, it's going to be
all right, brother.
(finn gasps, coughs)
We'll fix this,
you'll see.
Okay?
Get my pendant.
Kol: It won't work!
Davina fused his soul
to his body.
We've got to try.
There's no other side,
no ancestral well if he dies.
No, get your bloody
girlfriend back here
To undo what she's done.
Finn, you will
Drink from the source
until freya can move you.
Finn:
No.
Don't leave me alone.
Elijah:
Brother?
Finn?
Hey, brother,
we're here.
We are here.
I'm here, brother.
Please...
You are not alone.
I am here.
I am here.
I am with you.
Okay?
I'm with you.

Got your message.
I don't know what's
more surprising--
You saving my ass today
or wanting to see me afterwards.
I need your help.
Davina, I don't know
if I'm your guy.
Outside these walls,
The ancestors have a,
uh, a pretty strong say
In what I can and cannot do.
They're manipulating kol, too.
Yeah.
I tested his blood.
It's infused with their magic,
Which means
they corrupted the spell
I used to bring him back.
They couldn't get to me,
So they're making him
lose control.
I don't know what to do.
Oh.
Davina claire.
You know,
I used to respect them.
The ancestors, I mean...
The more and more
I watched them,
The more I saw them
just using people
For their own needs.
Then when they're done,
they just...
Toss them aside.
Like they're trash.
And if you disobey 'em--
whoa, right?
If they disobey 'em,
then they're gonna shun us.
If we disobey them,
Then they're gonna cripple us!
They're gonna kill us!
They've got
to be stopped, davina.
They've got to be stopped.
And it looks like it's just
gonna be on us to do it.
♪ I adore life
♪ I adore life...
Lucien did all of this
to become like his maker,
And yet my bite
cannot kill an original.
What are we up
against here, brother?
I truly don't know.
Hayley:
I might.
Klaus and I found lucien's
r&d lab full of werewolves.
He is harvesting venom,
but not to find a cure.
He's trying to create
a more lethal strain.
Well, that must be
what he added to the spell
To make him
whatever the hell he is now.
He kept boasting
about having something
That would make him
better than an original.
Klaus is descended from one of
The seven original
wolf bloodlines.
I am descended from another.
Lucien's venom...
Is derived from all seven packs.
Giving him a bite
that not even I can cure.
There were two vials of serum
and he only drank one.
Maybe it's because the spell
will wear off eventually
And he'll need another dose.
Or he made enough for two.

Freya:
If this prophecy is fulfilled,
They will all fall.
One by friend,
One by foe, and one by family.
But now my sire link is undone.
You're going to run.
Elijah:
Don't stop driving until
You're absolutely certain
that you are safe.
Klaus:
You don't have to remind me
How precious my cargo is.
The spell you used
brought me back
As I was when
I died in this body.
It's worse than I remember.
The rage,
the hunger...
It's been growing worse
since I came back.
(panting)
There was never any hope
for you, brother.
Finn.
And the spell decreed
That the white oak tree
that gave us life
Could also take it away.
The ancestors...
(eerie whoosh)
Vincent:
They want me to help him.
Hello, luv.
(exhales)
A mikaelson witch,
A white oak bullet,
And I'd say we have
the recipe for some real fun.
After all that
flirtation,
This is your idea
of a first date?
(lucien laughs)
Think of it as a date
with destiny, luv.
Though I admit,
three is a crowd.
Vincent is a necessary evil,
I'm afraid,
Here to keep you in check
should you misbehave.
Vincent:
Yeah, you're leaving
out the part
Where I ain't exactly
here of my own volition, man.
The ancestors must have
lost their damn minds.
Quite the opposite.
I've never dealt
with a saner bunch.
See, when I arrived
in new orleans,
I made them a deal.
Upon my request, they would
grant me access to the regent,
And in exchange,
I'd provide for them
A world without
the originals.
Ah... Didn't take
much convincing.
They do despise your family.
We're here.
Yeah, but where the hell
is "here," man?
What...?
How disappointing!
Two powerful witches
who cannot sense
When you're treading
on hallowed ground?
Welcome... To mystic falls.
The place where it all began.
Where esther mikaelson
created the vampire species.
Under the shade of
the infamous white oak tree,
She crafted the spell that
turned each of her children,
And I mean to replicate
that spell.
I have everything I need
To become what I deserve to be.
You want to become an original.
Do I look like
the sort who'd settle
For some shoddy original model?
I intend to be an upgrade.
You're insane
To think I'd ever help
you craft any spell.
Oh, no, no, no,
you misunderstand.
Vincent will handle the spell.
From you...
I need something
a bit more intimate.
(screams)
Seems your friend stood us up.
Vincent's not
exactly my friend.
Well, since we bothered to be
the only ones who turned up,
It would be a shame
to leave empty-handed.
Why not head back,
get up to no good?
(quiet laugh)
Something's not right.
Vincent said we were up against
a "common threat."
Now he's missing.
St. James is
the one place in new orleans
Where magic doesn't work.
Why would a regent
want to meet somewhere
Where he can't do magic?
(sighs)
Davina, I'm trying to warn you.
This is his.
Vincent (on phone): Davina,
listen-- I know we are not
On the best of terms, but I need
you to listen to me, okay?
Um, we're in serious trouble.
Now, I'm recording this here
because it's...
It's free from magic,
And magic is our enemy.
The ancestors got me on the hook
Doing some pretty twisted magic
and I want no part of it,
But they're forcing me
to help lucien castle.
And if you don't help me,
Freya mikaelson's gonna die.
They forced me to take her,
Then they had me put up
a cloaking spell,
So we can't be tracked.
Now, lucien's taking us
out of town someplace,
I don't know where...
But there's a loophole.
(video clicks off)
Just how am I the loophole?
Last year, when esther
first brought us back,
I got put in the body
of a gormless twit,
But you got housed
in one of the most powerful
Witch bodies in the city:
Vincent's.
And even after all this time,
there's still an echo
Of a body-soul connection
between you two.
Vincent: ...And davina, that's
where you come into play.
I need a powerful witch
that's off the ancestors' radar.
I want you to find
The thread
Between me and finn.
Have you ever done
anything like this?
I don't even know
if it's possible.
But I do have vincent's blood.
If I can take finn's blood
And do the spell right,
I should be able
to track vincent down.
Finn:
I should have sensed
Something was wrong
when freya didn't call.
Now lucien has a head start.
(sighs)
go, witch.
Tend to your spells.
I won't rest
until she's found.
Behold,
the selfless martyr.
First, he wants
to rip davina's head off
For trapping him in his body.
Now he can't wait to be spelled.
Finn...
You and I shall
go together.
Kol, you stay here
with davina, please.
You're going with him?
So the two people responsible
For not destroying the white oak
when they had the chance,
Thus putting us in
this bloody mess,
Are now off to try
and fix it.
That's just marvelous.
I mean, what could
possibly go wrong?
Davina:
Kol, look at me.
I don't know this magic.
I need your help.
Come on.
Let's go.
We should get started.
Do not give me
orders, brother.
And make no mistake.
I do not look to you as an ally,
Or even family.
The only reason
I tolerate your presence
Is the hope of
finding freya.
Good luck, brother.
Hayley:
Hope's down for the count.
She fell asleep as soon as
mary started the car.
I doubt she'll miss either
of us over the next few days.
So...
Which of these kingmaker offices
should we hit up first?
There's ten of them.
What?
Lucien has revealed
his true nature.
He's taken freya.
And now it seems
her rescue depends
On elijah working with my
ever-reliable brother finn.
Oh.
And you want to go back to new
orleans to head up the hunt?
Fine.
You should go.
I'm sticking
with kingmaker, though.
Lucien's working very hard to
cover up these wolf kidnappings
And I want to know why.
No.
The wolves, freya's abduction--
It can't all be coincidence.
We'll let my brothers
pursue the obvious path.
You and I...
Will pursue this one.
No doubt all roads...
Lead to the same
treacherous bastard.
(freya whimpering)
Okay.
Okay, man, that's enough!
Hmm, right you are.
That should just about do it.
Here, let me see it.
Lucien:
Enough!
There is a spell
that needs doing.
Lest the ancestors melt
That precocious
little brain of yours.
What's that?
That's not exactly need-to-know.
This part's all you.
(exhales)
This is it.
This is the spell
that created the originals.
Took an entire coven ages
to reverse-engineer it.
And then I had to get
my hands on this.
No.
No way, man.
I'm not doing this for you.
Wh... Ah! Ah...
Seems the ancestors
beg to differ.
(screaming in pain)
Now get to work
Like a good chap.
(sighs)
(chanting)
They should keep
heading northeast.
What, northeast?
They've been driving northeast
for an hour, luv.
We need to get
a tad more specific
Before they hit
the atlantic ocean.
The soul-blood
connection
Is not as strong as
a locator spell.
The most I can
narrow it down to
Is virginia;
northern virginia.
You're bloody joking.
We were born
in northern virginia.
There's a one-horse town
there now called mystic falls.
We were turned
into vampires there.
That's too much
of a coincidence.
Can you please be
a little more precise?
No. I need to boost
the signal somehow.
Maybe some
black cohosh...
Black cohosh won't do it!
Sorry.
Look, I have a better idea.
A blood rider.
A tibetan singing bowl
I had cast into a dark object
in the 1800s.
It's like
an echo chamber.
With finn's blood,
we can amplify
The connection
he has with vincent.
But, like everything of mine,
klaus's ex has it now.
I guess I'll just have
to pry it out of her hands.
Hey!
Cami is my friend.
Now, if you can't play nice,
You're gonna sit here
and I'll go get it.
Okay.
I'll behave.
Let's go.
(vincent chanting)
All this effort
To become a sad copy
of an original?
You think
you can just
Wake up one day
And become
top of the food chain?
(chanting continues quietly)
It did not happen overnight,
I assure you.
The truth is,
I used to think
your siblings gods.
Until my love was stolen
And our lives taken
by their compulsion.
Once free, I realized
They were not worthy of all
that had been gifted them.
I decided, then,
That I would become, in flesh,
What I have always been:
Their better.
I have engineered
every second since
Into achieving this moment.
You faked the prophecy.
Oh, no.
When I found the prophecy
foretelling your family's end,
I knew it was true...
And that I was
its living embodiment.
It is my rise
That shall be their downfall.
♪
(crossing bells clanging)
(train whistle blows
in distance)
Of course.
Mystic falls.
Birthplace of
all our sorrows.
(train whistle blows)
So are we to drive around
this entire pathetic town,
Hoping to run into my sister
before lucien murders her?
Kol has a plan.
Kol and his
ridiculous gambits.
900 years in a box...
And zero patience.
It's all a joke
to you, isn't it?
"900 years in a box"
just rolls off your tongue
As if the time passed
without consequence.
I assure you, it did not.
What are you
suggesting?
We never experienced anything,
Least of all
the passage of time.
Being daggered for decades
And being daggered for centuries
are very different things.
It starts off
as a dim pinprick of light,
Growing brighter
year after year,
A slow consciousness
That I was paralyzed.
Entombed in my own mind.
(sighs)
That despair...
Utter loneliness...
All amplified and made endless.
I know it's here somewhere.
Hard to keep track of
all your stolen goods?
Kol, my family did
not steal these.
They just kept
the very deadly toys
You left strewn about this city
From falling into
even deadlier hands.
You know what, luv?
I'm here now.
So maybe I should
take back what's mine.
Let's see what happens
if you try.
Oh, that sounds like fun to me.
Kol!
Get out.
I am sorry.
I think he's getting used
To being a vampire again.
I'm sure you can relate.
Yeah.
If that's his problem.
What does that mean?
I've seen that look before,
davina.
My uncle...
After he was cursed.
Kol's not cursed.
I'd be able to tell.
Would you?
Look, maybe I'm wrong.
Just... Be careful, okay?
Thanks, cami.
(indistinct conversations)
How will we know when or if
This magic trick of kol's works?
He's says you'll know.
It's strange.
The birthplace of our
very misfortune,
Beyond that hill.
Do you recall the first time
we fled together, finn?
We were but
children.
Nothing but the clothes
on our back,
Desire we had no idea
how to control
And a father hell-bent on
erasing us from the earth.
The first of many
times we ran together
Over the next 100 years,
Till you all left me
entombed for nine centuries.
You were a danger.
Danger?
Yes.
Klaus and kol killed
everything that moved.
Yet I was the one considered
too dangerous to undagger?
Despite their blood-lust, you
were the poison that crippled...
Poison?
I anchored us.
You despised us.
You despised yourself.
Terrified of everything
that we became.
You threatened
our very survival, finn,
Just as you have every time
We made the mistake
of freeing you from that box.
I was made that way
because of that box!
Every time I close my eyes,
I go back to that black horizon,
That place where I was
abandoned and forgotten
By my own family.
So, yeah,
I came out mad.
And I remain so.
Does he just build these
from a kit or something?
It's the exact same
for the last five offices.
Same windows, same plants...
And inside,
Same generic
abstract art,
Same compellable
receptionist.
Are you sure you wouldn't be
better off with your brothers?
I can do the leg work.
And split up the team now?
Just when I'm discovering
your carpool karaoke skills?
I think not.
(laughs)
No, lucien is
playing a game here.
Each unassuming little
office building we search,
The more sure I am of it.
We keep going.
Together.
Even if we have to scour
100 of these poxy places.
I hate it here.
This place birthed
all our pain and sorrow.
I refuse to let it be the place
where our sister dies.
Let us not wait for kol
and his witch's tricks--
Let us simply tear
this town apart and find her.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

Elijah mikaelson.
Matthew donovan.
How adorably inconvenient.
Unfortunately, we don't
have time to play right now.
I'll pass your regards
along to rebekah.
Finn, isn't it?
Sorry,
I suck at names,
But I never forget a face.
Especially when it's someone
I've already killed.
That was right over there,
right?
Did you come back for some more?
Do you expect to scare me
With that crude little toy?
Why are you here?
My sister freya has been taken.
Yes, we have another.
Option one:
You go about your business
like a good little boy.
Option two:
Violent disembowelment.
What's it gonna be?
I'm gonna go with option three:
This is my town.
My business.
Especially when it comes
to anything with fangs.
Now, you, me and these
ten wooden hollow points
Can stand here
and argue that fact, but...
How much time
does your sister really have?
With finn's blood,
We can amplify the connection
he has with vincent.
All right,
let go of everything.
Feel the vibration.
(tone sounding)
Now, harmonize with the
cadence of the drone.
(davina humming)
And once they're
both in harmony,
It should continue by itself.
And it's up to you
to concentrate.
To amplify it.
Finn?
I know where they are.
(grunts)
Freya, I'm so sorry.
Can't let you do that.
(grunting)
Aah!
(moaning)
You're making a mistake.
(shouts)
(growls)
(panting)
No one has to die today.
Oh, oh, sweet freya.
Today is the beginning
of an awful lot of death.
Starting with yours,
I'm afraid.
(grunting)
Truly...
You and I could've been
quite the thing.
Elijah:
Lucien?
Oh.
Just in time
for the party, lads.
Cheers.
Let the fun begin.
Can either of you
get to me
Faster than I can rip your
darling sister's head off?
(chuckles)
didn't think so.
(gasps)
Oh, you clever bastard.
Hold her.
Hold her head.
Help me with this one.
(grunts)
No vampire blood.
That's okay.
The others drank.
I'm a hybrid.
Go on.
Go on.
He needed their venom.
Lucien's cure
for werewolf bites.
He harvested
the venom he needed,
Then reverse-engineered
a vaccine.
Clever stuff.
And her?
The dead vampire?
It was the wolf venom
that killed her.
Just lucien testing his cure.
Why does he need
to test out something
He knows already works?
(gasps)
it's okay.
You're okay.
(coughs)
(gasps)
where is he?
That guy?
Freya: No...
Dead.
No.
Listen to me.
It's done. It's over.
You don't understand.
He drank the serum.
He wanted you to kill him.
You helped him take
the final step.
(gunshot)
(laughs)
Poor show, poor show.
Come on, gents.
You can do better, surely.
What do you think, elijah?
This new power, it suits me, no?
I've pondered this--
Whom to end first:
You or klaus?
Thought him.
But now that I'm here,
I think it should be you.
(snarling)
(grunting)
(screams)
A barrier spell.
How delicious.
I do appreciate a bit of spice
being thrown into the hunt.
It's not very fun
if the quarry just rolls over
And offers its neck, is it?
I can keep this up
as long as I need to.
I don't doubt it,
you little minx.
Never mind.
I have waited
a thousand years.
I can wait a tad longer.
I'm gonna enjoy
Making this last a long time.
(wheezing)
(trumpet playing
jazzy melody)
Davina: Well, at least
your sister's safe.
Kol: And the man that pretended
to be a family friend,
But actually hated us
for an eternity,
Has turned himself
into some creature.
Here which, for all we know,
could be the bloody beast
The prophecy said
would end us!
Davina: Hey...
All of this?
I don't think it has anything
To do with you being a vampire.
Cami said it might
be magic-related.
And I think she's right.
Kol, you're not yourself.
Not myself?
And which self
am I supposed to be?
I have been a witch,
A vampire,
A ghost, a witch in
somebody else's body.
And now,
I am a bloody vampire again.
Now, you think
that I'm cursed.
But I think it's everybody else
Getting into my bloody business
And not knowing
when to back off.
(shuddering breaths)
(shuddering gasp)
Freya's safe.
What about the others?
Well, finn's in a bad way.
Suffering the past eight hours
from lucien's bite.
Elijah thinks I should
return home and heal him.
Ease his pain.
Klaus, you should go.
As soon as these
last few recover,
I'll get them home,
gather what I can and
Torch this place.
No.
Finn can purge it himself.
He's earned the agony.
Besides, you know how much
I love burning things
to the ground.
Klaus, when you said
that you wanted
To work together
for hope's sake,
I wanted to see
what that looked like.
And now I do.
I appreciate
You helping me
rescue the wolves,
But if there is any chance
of making finn an ally,
You should take it.
Go.
Don't leave me in here!
Don't leave me alone!
Put him down.
Freya: Hey, hey, hey,
you're not alone, finn.
I'm here.
(gasping weakly):
Don't leave...
Why is he
talking like this?
It's hallucinations
Of our betrayal.
It's his nightmare.
Well, he looks
(grunts) ...Awful.
Werewolf bite.
That's got to hurt, mate.
So, lucien's a bloody hybrid.
We don't know what he is.
His venom seems to
work twice as fast.
That's good.
Maybe it'll work through
his system twice as fast.
Or it's twice as lethal.
Now, if niklaus
doesn't get here in time,
He might die.
With a bit of luck.
What is wrong with you?
Elijah:
Behave yourselves!
Both of you.
Sibling squabbling.
How familiar.
Although the teams
seem to have changed.
Someone care to tell me why?
Our brother needs us.
(moaning, wheezing)
Go outside and tell the others
To keep their eyes peeled
for trouble.
As soon as this place burns,
I'll take you
back to the crescents.
I'm not from there.
One was.
He died last week.
We're from the
seven packs:
Deep water, malraux, basroq,
Barry, poldark...
I'm a paxon.
Wow.
He had to look long and hard
to find one of you.
They wanted our venom.
They kept...
Pumping it into her over
and over and over again.
Then they'd heal her
with some drug.
Except the last time.
They shot her up
with something so powerful...
...There was no saving her.
Go.
I'm gonna burn this hell hole.
(finn shudders, gasps)
Thank you, brother.
How are you feeling?
I feel...
Strangely euphoric.
I've been known
to have that effect.
(clapping slowly)
What a precious
family moment.
Pardon me, while I go and gouge
out my eyes with a hot poker.
I thank even you, kol.
Your little witch
actually came through.
(sighs):
Today...
(clears throat)
...I saw a glimpse
Of your coveted
always and forever.
And... I... (coughs)
Finn! Finn!
Oh, what's happening?!
What's happening?
(finn shouts)
What's wrong with him?
His body, it's dying.
No, no, it's not possible!
I cured him!
(shouts hoarsely, gasps):
Freya...!
Hey, it's going to be
all right, brother.
(finn gasps, coughs)
We'll fix this,
you'll see.
Okay?
Get my pendant.
Kol: It won't work!
Davina fused his soul
to his body.
We've got to try.
There's no other side,
no ancestral well if he dies.
No, get your bloody
girlfriend back here
To undo what she's done.
Finn, you will
Drink from the source
until freya can move you.
Finn:
No.
Don't leave me alone.
Elijah:
Brother?
Finn?
Hey, brother,
we're here.
We are here.
I'm here, brother.
Please...
You are not alone.
I am here.
I am here.
I am with you.
Okay?

Davina, I don't know

Outside these walls,
The ancestors have a,
uh, a pretty strong say
In what I can and cannot do.
They're manipulating kol, too.
Yeah.
I tested his blood.
It's infused with their magic,
Which means
they corrupted the spell
I used to bring him back.
They couldn't get to me,
So they're making him
lose control.
I don't know what to do.
Oh.
Davina claire.
You know,
I used to respect them.
The ancestors, I mean...
The more and more
I watched them,
The more I saw them
just using people
For their own needs.
Then when they're done,
they just...
Toss them aside.
Like they're trash.
And if you disobey 'em--
whoa, right?
If they disobey 'em,
then they're gonna shun us.
If we disobey them,
Then they're gonna cripple us!
They're gonna kill us!

They've got to be stopped.
And it looks like it's just

Lucien did all of this
to become like his maker,
And yet my bite
cannot kill an original.
What are we up
against here, brother?
I truly don't know.
Hayley:
I might.
Klaus and I found lucien's
r&d lab full of werewolves.
He is harvesting venom,
but not to find a cure.
He's trying to create
a more lethal strain.
Well, that must be
what he added to the spell
To make him
whatever the hell he is now.
He kept boasting
about having something
That would make him
better than an original.
Klaus is descended from one of
The seven original
wolf bloodlines.
I am descended from another.
Lucien's venom...
Is derived from all seven packs.
Giving him a bite
that not even I can cure.
There were two vials of serum
and he only drank one.
Maybe it's because the spell
will wear off eventually
And he'll need another dose.
Or he made enough for two.
