The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 1, Episode 6 - Lost Girls - full transcript

In flashbacks, Stefan reveals to Elena the Salvatore family history, including how his rivalry with Damon began. In the present, Damon impulsively takes control of Vicki's future.

Previously on The Vampire Diaries:

For over a century,
I have lived in secret. Until now.

I know the risk but I have to know her.

Elena. She's a dead ringer
for Katherine.

Is that Damon Salvatore
and Stefan Salvatore?

The original brothers.

1864. You and Katherine
were the perfect couple.

They've come back.

- You get the Gilbert watch?
- I can get it.

- Hey, man, you okay?
- Come here.

Whoa, whoa. I got you. Ah!



- I know you.
- I think you have the wrong person.

You haven't aged a day.

There are things that you don't know,
things that I want to tell you but I can't.

Are you sure the man you knew
was Stefan Salvatore?

- Yes.
- When was this?

1953.

Dear diary, I'm not a believer.

People are born, they grow old,
and then they die.

That's the world we live in.

How can I deny
what's right in front of me?

Someone who never grows old,
never gets hurt.

Someone who changes in ways
that can't be explained.

- Girls bitten.
- Somebody help!

Bodies drained of blood.



You must be Miss Pierce.

Please, call me Katherine.

What are you?

What are you?

- You know.
- No, I don't.

Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here.

It's not possible.

It can't be.

Everything you know...

...and every belief that you have
is about to change.

Are you ready for that?

What are you?

I'm a vampire.

- I shouldn't have come.
- No.

- Please. Please.
- No.

No.

How did you do that?

- Please don't be afraid of me.
- Let me go.

There's things you have to know.

- Let me go.
- Elena, please.

Elena.

I would never hurt you.

You're safe with me.

All those animal attacks,
those people who died?

No. That was Damon.

- Damon?
- Yes.

I don't drink human blood.

That's not how I choose to survive,
but Damon does.

I'll explain everything to you,
but I beg you, Elena...

...do not tell anybody.

How can you ask me that?

Because you knowing this is dangerous
for so many reasons.

You can hate me,
but I need you to trust me.

Just go.

Just go, please? Go.

If you mean me no harm,
then you'll go.

I never wanted this.

- Hello.
- I want my ring.

- Where are you?
- I'm at the Sizzler.

I had the buffet.

- Where's my ring?
- I don't have it. What have you done?

No, what have you done?

You locked me in the basement
and starved me, so whatever I've done...

...whoever I've sucked dry, is on you.

How many animal attacks
is this town gonna believe, huh?

I know how to cover my tracks.

- Where's my ring?
- I gave it to Zach to hide.

Probably shouldn't have killed him.

Ah, you almost got me. Where is it?

- I'll get it back, but I need time.
- What, did you FedEx it to Rome?

I want my ring, Stefan,
or my next stop's Elena's.

I already want you dead.
Don't give me another reason.

- Don't give me a reason to rip you apart.
- Yeah?

Is that before or after
you get your ring back?

Just get it.

You just don't wanna die, do you?

You said you would explain everything.
That's why I asked you to meet me.

You Google "vampire,"
you get a world of fiction.

- What's reality?
- I can tell you whatever you want.

- I know you eat garlic.
- Yes.

And, somehow,
sunlight's not an issue?

Hi. Here are your drinks.

- Thank you.
- We have rings that protect us.

- Crucifixes?
- Decorative.

- Holy water?
- Drinkable.

- Mirrors?
- Myth.

- You said you don't kill to survive.
- Animal blood keeps me alive.

- I'm not as strong as Damon.
- You let him get involved with Caroline?

Forcing Damon not to do something
is much more dangerous.

- He was hurting her.
- He was feeding on her.

He was able to take away her memories
of being bitten using a mind compulsion.

She never knew what
was happening to her.

- Lf he wanted to kill her, he would.
- That make it okay?

No. No, none of this is okay, Elena.

I know that.

Are there any others,
aside from you and Damon?

Not in Mystic Falls, not anymore.

Not anymore?

There was a time when this town
was very much aware of vampires...

...and it didn't end well for anybody.

That's why it's important
that you don't tell anyone.

I can't promise that.

Elena, give me today.

I will answer any questions
that you have...

...and when it's over,
you can decide for yourself...

...what you wanna do
with what you know.

It'll be your choice.

Never smelled one this bad before.

- It tried to cover its tracks.
- Are you sure?

You only burn a corpse to hide cause
of death. And there are no shell casings.

We know who they are?

Doc will have to check
their dental records.

What story should I run?

Drug deal gone bad.

It's not too big a stretch.

I got the Gilbert watch.

Good.

Found this in the brush
about 10 yards away.

- Vicki Donovan.
- You know her?

I went to high school with her mother.

You think she's one of these?

I hope not.

Where are you, Stefan?
I'm trapped at the house.

And I'm getting really bored
and really impatient...

...and I don't do bored and impatient.

Bring me my ring.

Damn it.

Oh, don't get blood on the couch.

Please?

I got you good, didn't I?

Well, you're not gonna be
any fun today.

I'm so gonna regret this.

Okay.

Okay. Drink up.

Drink it up.

Don't drip. There you go. Good girl.

That's it.

Stop here.

What are we doing here?

I wanna show you something.

In the middle of nowhere?

This didn't used to be nowhere.

Used to be my home.

It looks so...

Old? It's because they are.

Wait. How long have you?

I've been 17 years old...

...since 1864.

Oh, my God.

You said you wanted to know.

I'm not gonna hold anything back.

Half-century before the boarding house
was even built...

...this was my family's home.

Damon and I...

...we were both born here.

The Salvatore brothers, best friends.

- Ugh!
- Wait. Where did you learn this game?

Camp outside Atlanta. One officer
picked it up at Harvard. Catch.

Wait, wait. What are the rules
What are the rules?

Who needs rules?

Mind if I join you?

Well, you could, uh... You could get hurt.

My brother likes to play rough.

Heh, heh. Somehow, I think
that you play rougher.

Why are you just standing there?
That is a girl who wants to be chased.

If you don't do it, I will.

You knew Katherine in 1864?

Damon made it seem like...

Damon was trying to make you think
that I was still heartbroken.

He saw that I was happy with you
and he wanted to ruin it.

All because you loved the same woman
145 years ago?

She wasn't just any girl.

- Ha! I win. What's my prize
- What would you like it to be?

They extended your leave?

I was simply having too much fun
to return to battle.

Your commitment
to the Confederacy is inspiring.

Well, this works out
wonderfully for me.

How's that, Miss Katherine?

Now I'll have both of you
to keep me entertained.

First, I'll need someone to escort me
to the Founder's Ball.

- I would be honored.
- With pleasure.

The smart and kind Salvatore brothers
both coming to my rescue.

How will I ever choose?

She chose me.

I escorted her to the ball
at the original Lockwood mansion.

The first Founder's Party.

Where you signed the registry.

I didn't care that I had gotten something
that my brother wanted.

I didn't even care if it hurt him.

I only knew that I wanted her.

So he was upset.

That's the thing about Damon.

He doesn't get mad.

He just gets even.

Man, that shower was so great.

What did you give me?

Some blood. You loved it.

I did?

Wait, I'm confused.
How did we get here?

We met in the woods.
You were drunk. I attacked you.

I killed all your friends, brought you here.
Gave you blood. You loved it.

And now we're gonna party
till the sun goes down.

Okay. But first, can I have another hit?

That blood was so good.

Only if I can.

What Damon wants,
Damon usually gets.

Now, I didn't know it at the time,
but turns out that night...

...Katherine was with him too.

So he stole her from you,
not the other way around?

Turns out she wasn't ours to steal.

Stefan.

I will love you forever.

Forever is a very long time, you know.

Not long enough.

Ugh!

Good morning.

Leave the room, please.

You're upset.

Your face, it was like a demon.

- But you're not afraid.
- Get away from me. Get away.

It doesn't change the way
you feel about me.

You will not tell anyone.

L...

We will go on exactly as we have.

Yes, we will go on.

You have no idea of the future
I have planned for us, Stefan.

You, me and Damon.

No rules.

She could control my mind
and Damon's.

And she compelled each of us
to keep the secret from the other.

She wanted all of us
to be together, forever.

Didn't work out that way...

...but Damon and I,
looks like we're stuck with each other.

Like it or not.

Is that Damon's ring?

- I took it from him. I have to give it back.
- No.

Don't, Stefan. Keep it hidden.

Elena, if I don't give it to him,
he'll retaliate in the only way...

...that he knows can hurt me.
- And how is that?

By hurting you.

We're working on it, Mayor Lockwood.

- Doc ID the bodies?
- A few townies. Notorious druggies.

I suppose that will make it easy
for people to buy this story.

- And Vicki Donovan?
- She's not one of the deceased.

- Where the hell is she?
- I wish I knew.

Sorry I'm late.

You have the watch?

- It's ready.
- That's it?

Yes. That's it.

I am so over Tyler. So over him.

I knew from the beginning
I was only a piece of ass to him...

...but I thought if he got to know me
he might see something more.

But no.

Jeremy, on the other hand,
that's all he's ever seen in me is more...

...and I like that.

Jeremy, huh?

- Elena's brother?
- Yeah.

So Elena used to date my brother,
and they were always together...

...so Jeremy would always be
hanging around and crushing on me and...

Hey, why don't you have a girlfriend?
You're cool and so hot.

- I know.
- Don't you wanna be in love?

I've been in love.

It's painful and pointless
and overrated.

Except when it isn't.

No more talking. Let's dance.

My mom spends most of her time
in Virginia Beach with Pete.

He drives trucks.

I don't remember my dad,
but from what I gather...

...he's not worth remembering.

- Your life is so pathetic.
- Yeah?

I mean, I'm the screwed-up one.
Matt's got it so easy.

He's the golden boy.

I mean, he's gonna get
a football scholarship and marry Elena...

...and have a lawn mower
and some babies...

...and when I think of my future,
I just come up blank.

You are so damaged.

Yep.

I mean, you don't have one hint
of self-esteem.

Nope, none.

- I think I know what can help you.
- What's that?

Death.

What happened?
We were dancing and then...

- Then I killed you.
- What?

- You're dead.
- I'm dead.

Let's not make a big deal out of it.
You drank my blood. I killed you.

Now you have to feed in order
to complete the process.

You're wasted. Ugh.

You don't wanna be out there
all alone.

You're about to get really freaky.

Look, I had a good time.
I just wanna go home.

You're gonna start craving blood. Until
you get it, you're gonna feel out of it.

Come on, move.

- See, you're starting to fall apart.
- I'm going home now.

Okay, fine. I'm just warning you.

Actually, you know what?
You should go.

In fact, if I were you, I would stop by
your boyfriend Jeremy's house.

- Yeah, whatever. Bye.
- Tell Elena I said "hi."

And if you see Stefan,
tell him to call me.

I got Stanley on the Moore Street entrance.
The rest of us will cover other points.

Call him or call me if that goes off.

- Don't use the radio. Cell phones only.
- Got it.

You've got eight rounds.
Wood bullets won't kill him.

But it will wound him enough
for you to get close and stake him.

You sure you can handle this?

Of course I can.

You ever staked a vampire before?

Have you?

I'm coming.

- Hey.
- The sun is killing me.

My eyes are on fire.

Where have you been?

It's good. Everything's good.

- Well, did something happen?
- I'm hungry.

What do you got to eat?

You're high?
It's the middle of the day.

Could you just not talk so loud?
My head hurts.

I need quiet.

The mind control you said
Katherine used.

- Do you ever do that to me?
- No.

That necklace...

...it contains an herb called vervain.

It protects you from being compelled.

I wanted to protect you
from Damon's influence.

But I also wanted...

...to protect you from me.

Elena, you should never take
that necklace off.

No matter what happens after today
and no matter how you feel about me...

...you'll know that you were free
to make your own choice.

- Where is she?
- Come this way.

- What's she on?
- I don't know.

Hey, Vick, how you doing?

Not good, Matty. I hurt.

Okay, where does it hurt?

My gums. My jaw hurts.

My gum... There's something
in my gums. It hurts.

- You're okay.
- No, just leave me alone.

Don't be like that. Let's get you home.

- Just turn it off.
- Turn what off?

The talking, the chatter.
Just turn it off.

Three bodies were found dead
in a drug deal gone awry.

The bodies have yet to be identified.

They were discovered
at the old Mystic Falls cemetery...

- That's where we were last night.
- What happened, Vick?

...and are looking for suspects.
They're asking anyone with information...

- I'm calling the cops.
- No, don't.

What happened after I left last night?

- Jer, you okay?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.

Damn, Vick.

- What's going on?
- She's really messed up.

Elena, back up.

Vicki, look at me.

Focus.

You're gonna be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Guys, take her up to bed.
Shut the blinds.

She's gonna be okay. Come on.

Come on.

- You know what's wrong?
- Yeah.

What is it?

- She's transitioning.
- Transitioning to what?

A vampire.

- What?
- Damon must have gotten to her.

She's new. She hasn't completed
her transformation yet.

How does she do that?

She has to feed on human blood.

And what if she doesn't?

She'll die.

- She may only have a few hours.
- She's upstairs with them right now.

She doesn't know what's happening.

- When is she gonna know?
- She doesn't remember anything.

A part of her is still human, but slowly,
the deeper she gets into the transition...

...the memories will start
to come back...

...and then she'll know
she has to make the choice.

The same choice you made?

I'm sorry I'm so much trouble.

You just...
You need to sleep it off, okay?

No.

Vick.

Vick.

She was fine
and then she just freaked out.

I'm gonna go look for her.
Call me if you hear anything.

- I can track her.
- Go.

- Yeah?
- I think I got something.

- It's pointing towards the old cemetery.
- I'm headed your way.

- Maybe we should check in with Matt.
- He'll call when he finds her.

- What are we supposed to do?
- We wait. We're supposed to wait.

I don't know what's wrong with her.

She'll be fine. It'll all be fine.

Jeremy, go upstairs.

You're afraid of me.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here
and guess.

Stefan finally fessed up.

Stay away from me.

Hey, hey, there's no need to be rude.
I'm just looking for Stefan.

May I come in? Oh, wait,
of course I can. I've been invited.

We can cut to the chase if you want.
I'm not gonna kill you right now.

That wouldn't serve my greater agenda.

So...

...where's Stefan?

He's out looking for Vicki.

Don't look at me
with those judge-y little eyes.

Girl's gonna thank me
for what I did to her.

Did you thank Katherine?

Got the whole life story, huh?

- I got enough.
- Oh, I doubt that.

Tell my brother I'm looking for him.

Oh, tip for later.

Be careful who you invite
in the house.

Vicki?

I'm starting to remember things.
What he is, what he said.

I remember you, the hospital,
the rooftop. It's all coming back.

I'm so sorry.

Damon had no right to do this to you.

He said that I need to feed.

What will happen if I don't?

You will fade quickly...

...and then it'll all just be over.

I'll be dead.

- I don't want this.
- I know, I know.

It will be okay, all right?
You're gonna be okay.

I can help you.

Is it better?

Is it better? Will I be better?

I wanna go home.

Will you take me home?

Please.

No!

Ugh!

It's wood.

They know.

If anyone's gonna kill you,
it's gonna be me.

My ring.

Mm-hm.

No. No, Vicki.

I'm sorry.

Oops.

Oh, God.

The watch. Find the watch.

- You're bleeding.
- No, it's okay, it's okay. I'm okay.

I couldn't stop her.

I tried.

What does that mean?

She fed. And then I lost her.

- Oh, my God.
- I'll take care of it.

I'll find her and I will show her
she can live like I do.

I'll make sure
that she does not hurt anybody, Elena.

What do I tell my brother and Matt?

- We'll come up with a story.
- You mean we'll come up with a lie.

I'm so sorry.

I gave you today just like you asked.

And I understand that you would never
do anything to hurt me...

...and I promise
I will keep your secret...

...but I can't be with you, Stefan.

I'm sorry. I just can't.
