The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 2, Episode 13 - Daddy Issues - full transcript

Previously on
"The Vampire Diaries"...

- You must be Elena.
- How do we look exactly alike?

You're a Petrova
doppelganger.

You're the key
to breaking the curse.

- The Sun and the Moon curse?
- Klaus is the real deal.

From the first
generation of vampires.

The oldest vampire in the history
of time is coming after me?

- Elijah.
- One of the Originals.

- He's a legend.
- Aah!

So that's it. As long as we keep the
dagger in there, then he stays dead.

Elijah had no weapon
to kill Klaus.



But he believed that if a witch
could channel enough power,

it wouldn't need one.

Like the power
you get from a spot

marked with
a hundred dead witches.

Says if you use too much of your
powers at once, it'll kill you.

How much would it take
to kill an Original?

All of it.

I'm a vampire.

- I don't want to know this!
- Tell me what I can do.

I drank that vervain stuff and
then asked her to take it away.

I want you to tell me
everything she said.

I found my way to someone
in his trusted circle.

One of Klaus' witches.

He's all yours.



I have Katherine
and the moonstone.

Klaus has everything
he needs for now.

Alaric?

Katerina, I've missed you.

Klaus!

Ok, bad,

or badder?

The dark colors
suit you better.

Oh, thank you,
honey.

Ok, pop quiz.

The dagger and white ash are in the
Salvatores possession, correct?

The dagger was used
to kill Elijah.

You'll find him in the basement
of the Salvatore house.

Ok, that dagger needs to
stay exactly where it is.

The last thing I need to
do is resurrect Elijah.

Ohh, that guy
is a buzz kill.

Don't forget you're on the outs
with your girlfriend Jenna.

Right. Elena's aunt.
For all the lies about Isobel.

- What else?
- That's it.

Oh, so jumpy.

Please, just... kill me.

I've told you everything
that I know.

Hmm.

You see, I believe
that you believe that.

But what would you
not know?

What could they be
keeping from you? Hmm?

Anything?

Tell me.

They were trying to see
if Bonnie could find a way

to kill an Original
without a dagger.

Bonnie the best friend?

And then you said she didn't
have her powers anymore.

She doesn't.

Or didn't. I don't know.

You kidnapped me, remember?
I'm kinda out of the loop.

Well, we'll have to get
to the bottom of that.

Please, just kill me, Klaus,
and be done with it.

And show you kindness?

I've searched for you
for over 500 years.

Your death
is going to last

at least half that long.

I want you
to take this knife...

And stab yourself.

Now take it out.
Ahhh!

Now while I'm gone,
I want you to do that

over and over
and over again.

And if you get bored,

switch legs.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go lay eyes

on my precious
doppelganger.

Oh, don't look
so glum, Katerina.

The fun is just
beginning.

Again.

Please sign here

and here.

Ok.

So this place is all yours?
They just gave it to you?

For now.

As sole owner,
I'm the only one

who can invite
a certain type of person

in here, if you know
what I mean.

Your own personal
safe house.

That's the idea.

Wouldn't want
to clean it.

You really think Bonnie
can take on Klaus?

She said she could channel enough
witch's power to kill him.

Elijah thought that would work

and he was an Original, so.

- We just need to find him.
- Yeah.

Could she do one of those
witch tracking spells?

Nope. Not without something
that belongs to Klaus.

Believe me,
I already asked.

Ohh.

Do you think
he killed her?

Katherine?

Probably.

It's not like she
didn't have it coming.

Yeah.

Thank you,
Mr. Henry.

I'm sorry.
I completely forgot.

Stefan.

Would you like to come
inside my house?

I would love to.
Thank you.

What are we, 12?

One of us is.

If I let you in,
do you promise

to obey the owner
of this house?

- No.
- Seriously, Damon.

My way. You promised.
I call the shots.

No lies, no secret
agendas. Remember?

Yes, Elena. Sure.

Then please, come in.

Shut up.

Thanks.

- Wait, where are you going?
- To school.

Huh?
No, no, no.

We didn't create a safe
house for you to leave it.

Yeah, guys,
Klaus is out there.

- We know that.
- Right.

- But where?
- No one knows.

Look, I really appreciate
what you guys are doing.

And I'll be able to sleep at night
knowing that I'll be safe here,

but I'm not going
to be a prisoner.

Your way, Elena.

Don't worry,
I'm ready.

If he shows his face,
I can take him.

Know how.

The way I see it,
next to Bonnie

is the safest place
that I can be.

Come on.

Wait, um, coming.

Caroline left early
for school.

I know.
I came to see you.

I don't know what to do.
What to say,

how to act around her.

You can't let on
that you know.

She wants me to take her to the dance.
What am I supposed to do?

Take her to the dance.

I'll never get away with it.

She knows me too well,
she'll figure it out.

Damn it,
Matt, just do it.

She's my daughter.
She's my baby. I just,

I need some time.
I know, but...

Look, if what Caroline
told you is true,

she's not
the only one.

The Salvatores
are vampires.

The Gilbert family
is in on it.

Tyler Lockwood
is God knows what.

A werewolf.

There's no one in this
town I can trust.

I just need
to take a beat

and figure out
what to do.

- That'll never fool her.
- Yes, you will.

As far as she knows, you
don't remember anything.

Buy me some time.

Please, Matt.

Hello, class.

Ahem.

What...

Are we learning today?

With the decade dance
tonight,

we've been covering
the sixties all week.

Right.

The sixties.

The, uh, ahem...

The sixties.

I wish there was
something good

I could say
about the sixties, but...

Actually, they kind of sucked.

Except for the Beatles,
of course.

They made it bearable.
Uh, what else was there?

The Cuban missile thing,

the... we walked on the moon.

There was Watergate.

Watergate was
the seventies, Ric.

I-I mean, Mr. Saltzman.

Right.

It all kind of mushes
together up here,

the sixties, seventies.

Thank you, Elena.

Hey, Dana.
Hey.

Um, can you
take care of these?

Sure.

Ok, thank you.

Hey.

What was that for?

Just practicing for tonight.

Oh.

Mmm.

So I... found a suit.

If you still want me
to be JFK.

Perfect.

Do you think Elena knows
what it's going to take

for you to do
that Klaus spell?

No, and you're not, either.

Well, she's gotta know
you can't do it.

You don't know I can't.

Have a little faith in me.

That's not fair.

You can't harness
the power

of a hundred dead witches.
It'll kill you.

Shh! We don't know that
for certain.

You promised to keep my
secret, I'm trusting you.

I'm going through with this, and
if you tell anyone, I swear...

what? What are you
gonna do?

Hey, Jer.
How you doing?

Are you ok at the house
alone with John?

It's not ideal.

You haven't heard
from Jenna, have you?

It looks like she's staying on
campus instead of coming home.

I'm late for class.

What's going on?

I told him he had to dress up
tonight and he got all uptight.

Oh.

Hey, Elena,
there you are. Ok.

This is going to sound freaky,

but this totally hot guy
just asked me to ask you

if you're going
to the dance tonight.

Tell him she has
a boyfriend.

You could at least meet him.
He'll be at the dance tonight.

Look for him.
His name is Klaus.

I'm sorry, what did
you just say?

His name's Klaus.

I know the name's stupid,
but I swear he's hot.

Where is he?
Is he here?

I don't know.

She's being compelled.

But he wants to know if you'll
save him the last dance.

How cute is that?

So we go to the dance, we find him.

Really? How are we
going to do that?

We don't even know
what he looks like.

Something tells me he's not
going to be 16 and pimply.

He could be anywhere
at any time.

He compelled
somebody at school.

I guess it's not as safe
as you guys thought, huh?

There you are.

Sorry I'm late.

Hey, I need you
to put me down

as a chaperone
at the dance tonight.

Klaus made his first move.

Ok, so we find him
and then what, hmm?

- What's our plan of attack?
- Me.

I'm the plan.
He has no idea

how much power
I can channel.

If you can find him,
I can kill him.

That's not going
to be that easy.

I mean, he is the biggest,
baddest vampire around.

Alaric has a point.
I mean, what if he...

Well, I was impressed.

It doesn't matter
if he's an Original.

I can take down
anyone who comes at me.

I can kill him, Elena.

I know I can.

Ah, you're right.

This witch is all juiced
up and aiming to kill.

That's terrible.

We're gonna have
to kill her, Maddox.

Do you think this Alaric
guy has anything vintage?

Crossbows, wooden bullets
and automatics?

Who is this guy, again?

He's the local vampire hunter.

Ahh. Well, that explains
the clothing.

All I could find.
Guy likes his bourbon.

I knew there was something
about him I liked.

Ahh.

There's
a high school dance

and I'm gonna need you to
take out the witch bitch.

If she has that much power, she can
sense me coming from a mile away.

I won't be able to get near her.
You have to do it.

In this body?
I'm a Haggard history teacher.

She can easily hurt me.

I mean,
not me, Klaus me,

but you know
what I mean.

No witch could handle
channeling that much power.

It'll kill her.

It would kill me.

You just have
to make her use it.

You mean like provoking her to death?

Won't take long.

Just keep attacking her
until it kills her.

His body, Alaric's,

will last longer
than hers will.

How? He's human.

I can help in that department.

I can do a spell
to protect you.

There you are!

You almost missed me.

How do I look?

Jackie O?

Duh.

You look good.

Thanks.

Is everything ok?

Ughh, just some work stress.

Well, you work
too much.

Mr. President.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Sheriff.

- Sorry.
- Have fun.

We will.

Bye.
Bye.

Your relatives
were such packrats.

Ok, so what do you think?

Twiggy or sexy hippy?

Ooh.

You know it's not too
late to back out, right?

And what, miss out
on all the fun?

Hey.

All this time spent
worrying about Klaus.

I think I convinced myself
that he's not real.

But he is.

And tonight,
we will put

an end to him.

I love you.

I want you to tell me that
when the night's over.

Any time tonight.

Nice outfit, Mr. Saltzman.
Totally far out.

Thank you, Dana.
Thank you.

Now who is your date?

It's Chad, Mr. Saltzman,
from third period.

Chad, of course.

How would you and your friends like
to earn a little extra credit?

Wait.

Look, I, um, I want you to have this.

If you're asking me to go steady,
I think that was the fifties.

No, I'm serious, Bonnie.

The ring won't work
on me, Jeremy.

But it was made
by a witch.

To protect from
the supernatural,

not for someone who is.

Well, I have to do
something.

I can't just...
I can't just let you get yourself killed.

Just because a bunch of dead
witches gave me a warning

doesn't mean I'm going to die.

So you're saying there's
a 50-50 shot you won't?

Look, I'm sorry.

But... you know I don't
have the best luck

in the girlfriend
department.

Hey.

Listen, I...

I can't explain it.

But I can feel them.

I'm empowered, Jeremy,
I can do this.

I know I can.

I'm strong enough.

Damon.

Evenin'.

Ehi, you two.

Oh, you look nice.

You, too.

You guys
ready to do this?

Thanks for being here,
everybody.

We have a special
shout-out tonight.

This is for Elena.

From Klaus.

♪ This is dedicated
to my love ♪

♪ this is dedicated to my love ♪

♪ this is dedicated ♪

That was a lame,
cheap shot.

He's just trying
to bait us.

I know everyone here.

Maybe
he's not here.

Just wants us to
believe that he is.

It's a party,
people. Blend.

Let him come to us.
Good idea.

No, no, I really don't
feel like dancing.

Too bad.

There's Ric.

I'll be back.

Special dedication, huh?

This guy's
a little twisted.

- I'm not impressed.
- No?

I mean, obviously he didn't
do anything out of whack.

Oh.

Caroline's here.
They don't know what's going on.

- We have to tell her.
- I'm on it.

How you doing?

Um, freaking out a bit?

You?

Cool as a cucumber.

Come on, remember
the last decade dance?

The vampires
were all, "ahh!"

And you were all,
"aahh!"

Right. And you won.

Yes! We did.

You're good at this.

I've got moves
you've never seen.

Dance with me.

I'm a really bad
dancer.

I know
better than that.

What?

You look really
pretty tonight.

Hey, guys.

Hey, man,
what's up?

Hey. Do you mind if I steal
your date for a moment?

No, not all.

I'll get us something to drink.

Thanks. Hey.

What's wrong?

Klaus is here.

What?!
Yeah.

Where?

We have no idea.
But keep your eye out

for anything
that might be weird, ok?

May I?

You heard Jeremy and me
talking, didn't you?

- Is it true?
- Yes.

The part about you having a
50-50 shot of surviving?

Is that true?

He was upset. I didn't
want him to worry.

So you lay it out on the line
for Elena, no matter what.

No matter what.

- Good.
- You can't tell her.

Your secret's safe with me,
but I mean...

With all that power,

isn't there a way
to increase your odds?

Careful, Damon.

I might start to think
you actually care.

We wouldn't want that.

What are they up to?

Who knows?

Is there something
going on, Jer? You ok?

Fine.

I'm fine.

Hey.

Everything
all right?

I'm not sure.

Jeremy.

What are you doing?

Elena thinks we should
stick together.

Yeah, I'm fine.
I've got my ring.

It's... it's Bonnie.

What is it?

Hey, you got
something

on your mind,
spit it out.

If Bonnie takes on Klaus,

channeling all that energy's
going to kill her.

What?

But she doesn't
want Elena to know,

'cause if Elena knows,
she's gonna try to stop her.

And it's Elena that could
turn up dead, so...

What am I supposed to do?

I need to talk to you.

Come here, come here, come here.

Please tell me
you didn't know that

Bonnie was on
a suicide mission.

Oh, great.
Jeremy told you

- and of course you told Elena.
- Yeah, I told her.

You promised her
no more secrets.

I changed my mind.

How could you
not tell me?

- 'Cause I knew how'd you react.
- No.

- No way, it's not an option.
- It's our only option.

Then we'll find
another way, ok?

Bonnie, you're not dying
to save my life.

I have the power
to save you!

If I don't use it
and something happens,

- that would kill me more.
- I can't let you.

Just answer
one question...

if the situation
was reversed,

would you do it for me?

So you know why
I have to.

No.

No!

What's going on, guys?

You ok, Gilbert?
You don't look so good.

Dude, seriously?
Wrong day, wrong guy.

Hey!

Aaah!

Let me guess...
Klaus says hi.

No, no, no, no, don't kill him.
He's compelled.

- So? - So, the whole
thing's a distraction.

Go find Bonnie and Elena.
I got this. Go.

Elena!

- What is it?
- He has Jeremy.

- What?
- What?!

Yeah, Klaus has
Jeremy. Come on.

Ok, so where
are you taking us?

Just a little further.

What...
Something's not right.

Where's Jeremy?

I just had to get away
from that dance.

The sixties, uchh.

Not my decade.

I mean, whose call
was that, anyway?

I much prefer the twenties.

The style, the parties,

the jazz.

Alaric.

Are you on vervain?

Now why would you ask me
that question, Elena?

He's being
compelled.

Nope. Try again.
What's going on?

Ok, I'll give you a hint.

I am not Alaric.

Klaus.

Surprise!

Oh, no.

No, it's not
possible.

Just relax, Elena.
I'm not here to hurt you.

You're not on
my hit list tonight.

But you are.

Now, did I mention
that I know a witch?

You're gonna have to hit me
a lot harder than that.

By all means...
Fire away!

If you kill this body,

I'll just get a new one.

Maybe Jeremy.

Go. Run.

Run!

What happened?

- Klaus is in Alaric's body.
- What?

He's possessing it
or something.

Go find Stefan. Now.

- Ok.
- Now.

Can you kill him?

He's got some kind of
protection spell.

You have the power of
a hundred witches. Break it.

I'm trying!

If I kill Alaric,

he'll just possess
someone else.

He knows I have
my power, Damon.

He's trying
to kill me.

No.

Klaus does not get
to win tonight, no way.

You still willing to do
whatever it takes to kill him?

Hey! Are you ok?

Um...Yeah.

I'm just...
I'm looking for Stefan.

Seriously,
what's wrong?

Uh, just, um,

stay with Matt, ok?

What was that about?

Oh, you know,
just same old drama.

What took you so long?

Now, do you want
to do this the easy way

or the hard way?

Oww!

The hard way. Got it.

What? You'd kill your
favorite history teacher?

It's what Alaric
would want.

And he'd want you
to suffer first.

Look at you.

Is that all you got?

Let's find out.

There you are.

What are you doing?
Where's Bonnie?

She's doing what
she has to do.

- What?!
- Where is she?

- Stefan, let her do this.
- Damn it, Damon, where is she?!

Bonnie, no!

No!

Oh! Bonnie!

Bonnie, Bonnie!

Bonnie, Bonnie, hey, hey!

Stefan, she's not breathing!

Stefan! Stefan,
I can't find her pulse!

Stefan!
Do something, please!

Stefan, please! Just give her
blood, do something, please!

It's too late.

I'm sorry.

No!

No.

No, no, no, no, no!

Bonnie! Bonnie,
please, no!

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no!

Stefan, get Elena
out of here.

I'll deal with the body.

What do you mean,
deal with it?

The sheriff
can't know about this.

Last thing we need's
another mysterious death.

This is Bonnie!

Get her home.

Now.

I'm sort of clean this up.

Hey, hey, hey.

- Hey.
- No. Jeremy.

Oh, my God, Jeremy.
What about Jeremy?

- I'll find him.
- No!

Damon! Hey, I got your message,
I can't find anyone.

Where's Elena,
where's Bonnie?

We need to have
a little talk.

Hey.

Here, drink this.

I can't.

Yeah. Yeah, you can.

Please drink this.

This is my fault.

No, no, no, no, no.

No. Hey.

This was Klaus.
Listen to me.

Klaus did this.

What did you do with her?!

Will you please
calm her down?

Don't talk like I'm not

standing right
in front of you.

- Please calm down.
- You knew!

Didn't you? You knew that if
she harnessed all that power,

- that she would die, didn't you?
- Yes.

Yes, I knew.

Guhh!

You need
to listen to me,

and prepare for what
I'm about to say.

Bonnie had to die.

Klaus using Alaric's body
was a total surprise.

She wasn't prepared
for that.

And he wasn't
going to stop,

and we weren't going
to be able to stop him

until he knew
she was dead.

He had to believe it.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

She cast a spell.

She's alive, Elena.

Bonnie's ok.

You know,
you could have told me.

How do I know when
you're going to go

blabbing things
to your girlfriend.

You even understand
what you put her through?

See, that's why
I didn't tell you.

'Cause you would have
never been able to do it.

Don't get me wrong,
Stefan.

I don't mind
being the bad guy.

I'll make all the life
and death decisions

while you're busy worrying
about collateral damage.

I'll even let her
hate me for it.

But at the end
of the day,

I'll be the one
to keep her alive.

You sure it's safe here?

Yeah, I'm sure.

What is that?

It is MiFi.

If we're gonna be stuck here,

then we might as well
have Internet.

You don't have to stay
down here with me.

Hey, look, I'm not
letting you out of my sight.

I... I need you
to talk to Elena for me.

Tell her how sorry I am for
what Damon and I had to do.

Well, um...

Why don't you

tell her yourself?

Bonnie!

Elena.

Elena, I'm so sorry.

It's ok, it's ok.

I just needed
to see for myself.

There wasn't enough time
for me to tell you.

It's ok, seriously.
Damon explained it all.

Ugh. Look.

Klaus had to think
she was dead.

Your reaction
had to be real.

I understand why
you did what you did.

Klaus was fooled,

and Bonnie's alive.

Here's to duplicity.

But let's get one thing
straight, Damon.

Bonnie will not die for me,
I will not let that happen.

We need to kill Klaus, Elena.

Real Klaus.

Who will probably be coming
to pay you a visit soon

now that he knows
that Bonnie is dead.

She's the only one
who can do it.

We'll find another way.

I hope so.

Look, I shouldn't
have hit you.

Apology accepted.

Let me be clear
about something.

If it comes down to you and the witch
again, I will gladly let Bonnie die.

I will always choose you.

Good night, Damon.

Good night.
