The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 2, Episode 16 - The House Guest - full transcript

The Salvatore brothers are unpleasantly surprised that killing Elijah didn't harm, but instead released Katherine. Damon indignantly rejects her flirtation. Dr. Jonas Martin uses invisible ...

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.

I'm prepared to
offer you a deal.



What kind of a deal?

You and I shall draw
Klaus out together

and I shall make certain

that your friends
remain unharmed.

And then what?
Then I kill him.

I come bearing gifts.
This is how you kill an Original.

Killing Elijah would be
a suicide mission.

You can't do it.

Even with the dagger
and a little white oak ash?

If you kill Elijah,
then I'm stuck in here forever.

As long as we keep
the dagger in there,

Then he stays dead.
Pretty much.

How did you get out?

I knew that I had begged you
not to kill Elijah,



That's exactly
what you'd do.

As soon as Originals die,
compulsion wears off.

What did Luka tell you?

He told me about your daughter.
You know where Klaus has her.

I want to help you
get her back.

[speaking latin]
No!

He took my powers.

Stefan, we're late
for school.

Let's be later.
Stefan, it's school.

Remember, that thing that
we keep forgetting about?

Hey!
School?

Doesn't ring a bell.

Rawr!
[giggling]

Stefan! Ok, 5 minutes.
Only for 5 minutes.

Good morning, Damon.

What are you doing here?
I told you to leave.

What is your problem?

You're wearing her clothes?
Like that's going to work.

You think I'm Katherine?

What the hell's
going on here?

I don't know, you tell me.

Is Katherine
in the tomb or not?

What are you doing?!

How could you do this?!
Stefan, you're hurting me!

Stop it, Katherine!

Stop what?

It's getting
really easy being you.

What is she doing here?
When we killed Elijah,

It broke the compulsion and
freed the bitch from the tomb.

How's that possible?
He's an Original.

They have all sorts
of special skills.

I don't want you here.
Get her out of here.

You need me, Elena.

You all do.
[scoffs] like hell.

We all want the same
thing... Klaus dead.

Yet here you all are, running
around like chickens

with their heads cut off.
I don't need your help.

And I don't want it.

And that's incredibly
stupid of you.

Do you know
where Klaus is?

When he's coming,
what he looks like?

If you know something,
say it or get out.

Fine. Then I'll just
go to the grill

and have some lunch.
Maybe aunt Jenna's

free for a bite.

Hey, Matt.
Hey.

Live band?

Yeah, business has been
a little slow.

The grill's trying
to stay afloat.

Oh.

Aren't we all?
[chuckles]

Have you heard from Tyler?

Not a peep. You?

No, not since
he stopped by the grill

to talk, and I've left
messages on his cell phone.

He stopped by to see you?

What did he say?
Not much, really.

I mean... I think

to say good-bye without really saying good-bye.
I just didn't know.

And that's all he said?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's all
he said, Caroline.

Why? I mean, is there something
you want to tell me?

Yeah! I...

I mean, no, I...

It's just not that easy.

I don't get it.
Since when

have I been the one
that can express himself

and you're one with
a loss for words?

No, you're right,
and I'm sorry.

You know how I feel.

So it's your move.

Just make a decision

or leave me alone.

[sighs] why is she
still here?

She was free.

She wants what we want...
Klaus dead.

Maybe she sees us
as her only chance.

Or maybe she's trying to lure you
and Damon back into her web.

I want her gone.
So do I.

But you're right,
she's staying.

Shouldn't we at least
try to figure out why?

How? All she does is lie.

Look, I hate it as much as you
do, but she does make a point.

We don't know anything
about Klaus. She does.

Right,
but that doesn't mean

I want her
shacking up with you.

Maybe we should
stay at your place tonight.

Hmm, I can't.
I told Bonnie and Caroline

that they could come over.
Bonnie's freaked

because she lost her powers and
Caroline's having Matt drama again.

[sighs] it's kind of
a girls' night.

Maybe Katherine
can join us.

Come on.

Mmm, burning flesh.

If you're trying
to get the dagger back,

You're wasting your time.
He's indestructible.

No kidding.

How do you know so much
about Original vampires?

Spend 500 years
running from one.

So when I told you
my plan to kill Elijah,

Why didn't you warn me
that I'd die

if I used a dagger on him?

Oh, there's so many rules.
It's all very confusing.

Did you know I would die?

Did Elijah tell you his plan? Did he
have a dagger to kill Klaus with?

Why are you still here?

Because you haven't
forcibly removed me.

[scoffs] you wouldn't.

Oh, I would.

Damon, be smart.

I want Klaus dead
just as much as you do.

More.

If I wasn't be honest
about helping,

I'd be long gone by now, ok?

You can hate me.

But we want the same thing.

And you know...

I always get what I want.

[sighs]

I wanted out of the tomb.

Didn't matter
who paid the price.

Of course I knew
that you'd die.

Bonnie: She's out
of the tomb?

Yeah. We're dealing
with it, all right?

Just be extra careful.

She's getting
a little too good

at impersonating Elena.

With Katherine still around,

We gotta find a way
to get your powers back.

Listen, I want to get
the Martins on our side.

I want to figure out a way
for us all to work together

now that Elijah's
out of the picture.

It's impossible.
They hate us.

It's either win them over or
somebody's going to end up dead.

You think you can at least convince
them to have a civil conversation?

I'll try.

Thanks. Keep me posted.

Ok. I gotta
get to class.

All right, I'll see ya.

[chuckles]
Come on.

Elena's nowhere in sight.

I'll tell her soon.
I promise.

All right.

It was bad. You know, John planted
all these seeds about Isobel

and now Jenna knows
I'm lying about something.

John's going to end up dead on the
kitchen floor if he's not careful.

Yeah, well,
easier said than done.

I gave him back his ring.

So.

Look, Jenna keeps asking
about Isobel.

You know, was she murdered?

Why haven't they
found the body?

I mean, how much longer
can she stay in the dark?

You think we should
tell her the truth?

I'm saying I can't
be with her and not tell her.

It's not fair to her, and it's not
the kind of relationship I want.

Not to mention it's becoming more
dangerous for her not to know.

I just thought that
we'd at least hold off

until after we've
dealt with Klaus.

You know, and even then,

How do we tell someone
what we know?

How does someone
hear that?

Look, I'm sorry
to put this on you.

But I feel
it's your decision to make.

And whatever you decide
to do, I'll respect it.

I want to be honest with her.
But until then,

Jenna and I are done.

Thank you for coming.

I didn't want to.
But my son

made a case to hear you out.

Bonnie said that you have
information about Elijah.

Elijah's dead.
I'm sorry.

Hear me out.
We can help you.

We know that Klaus
has your daughter.

I'm sorry about the way
I had to get that information,

But it's good
that we know.

We can all work together
to get her back.

How?

I suspect that you and Elijah
had a plan to kill Klaus.

I'll just help you
carry it out.

You can trust us. I give you my word.
We all do.

What you up to?
None of your business.

We're pouting now?

Are those
the Gilbert journals?

How am I supposed
to help you

if you won't tell me
what you're up to?

Can you tell me
where a bunch of witches

were massacred in this town
a couple centuries ago?

No.

Then you can't help.
Ugh.

[gasping]

If it's any consolation,

I'm glad that
you're not dead.

Emily Bennett told me
about the massacre.

It was a big deal
in witch folklore.

When a witch dies
violently,

They release
a mystical energy

making the place of
their death with power.

I think Elijah wanted to know
the site of the massacre.

What was he going to do
when he found it?

I don't know.

What did papa witch
and baby witch have to say?

Wasn't she gone

or dead? Yeah?

For the last time,
I'm here to help.

Can we skip
the secrets, hmm?

Elijah had no weapon
to kill Klaus.

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

They wouldn't need one.

Like the power you get from a spot
marked with a hundred dead witches?

We just need to find it.

But what if they can
find the burial ground?

They won't. We tried,
Luka, for weeks.

We don't have a back-up
plan, though, dad,

And we need to be doing
everything we can to save Greta.

We will save her.

But Elijah is the answer,

Not Stefan
and his brother.

Those people,
they're our enemies.

They need
to be dealt with.

What, you're going to kill them?
No.

I'm going to let
Elijah do it.

Chinese food or pizza?

[chuckles]
like you have to ask.

I will get it.

I'll do it.

Do you believe
that Jonas is being sincere?

I don't know
what to believe.

I think he's at a loss.
He's not sure

who to trust.

Join the club.

Well, what are we going to do
about this movie situation?

What about "The Notebook"?

Caroline, how many times
have you seen that movie?

That is so not the point.

Well, yeah, I mean...

Hey.

What's going on?

Girls' night.

Oh.

How are you doing?

You heard about
my fight with Ric.

He feels terrible.

Is this some kind of disguised
attempt to cheer me up?

No. No, this is about
us girls hanging out.

And, you know, we'll be here
if you happen to want to talk,

Or...
Because I am a winner

when it comes to
successful relationships.

You, too?

You have no idea.

Ok, then.

It's this whole
Isobel thing.

He's hiding something
from me. [sighs]

Caroline: To play
devil's advocate,

Maybe there is a great reason
why he's not telling you.

Maybe he is just trying
to protect you.

Well, that's not
his call to make.

I mean, I deserve the truth.
Everybody does.

Sometimes
it's harder than that.

Not if it's somebody you
care about, it isn't.

[music playing]

You know what we need?

Dancing. There is a
band at the grill.

I'm in.
In.

In.

Are you sure about this?

I mean, I would go
if I could.

No. I'm not strong
enough to send you.

I can do this.

I'll stay anchored.

Use all my energy.

If you feel weak...
Dad.

I want this
just as much as you.

Concentrate on Elijah.

Picture him in your mind.

I got it.

[speaking latin]

I'm in the Salvatore house.

Elijah's body must be there.

What do you see?

Elena and Damon.
They're reading.

Good.

If Elijah's there,
you'll sense him.

Stay focused.

Can I help you?

I'm bored.

[sighs]

"Emily Bennett was taken
by the council today.

"They kidnapped her
from her home

"and took her
to the same location

her ancestors were burned
a hundred years ago."

So Emily died on the site
of the massacre, too.

Does it say where?

Nope.

You know this whole
friendly, cooperative thing?

Mm-hmm.

I don't buy it.

I have no reason
to lie to you, Damon.

Lie.

I'm hungry.

You're the unwanted houseguest.

Go feed yourself.

Well, nothing
in any of those.

Find anything?

Nope.

That's too bad.

Yeah, bummer.

[gasping]

Elena's fighting me.

[grunting]
What's wrong?

She's stronger than me.

That's because
it's not Elena.

It's Katherine pierce.
Luka. Kill her.

What?
She's a vampire.

Find a stake and drive
it through her heart.

Damon!

Katherine!

[groaning]

What happened?

[gasping]

Damon...

Luka, what's going on?

[yelling]

Luka! Luka!

What are you doing?!

Shutting down a crazy ass
psychic witch attack!

Get over there
and do something about it.

Now!

No!

Oh, my god! Luka!

Luka! I'm sorry.

Please.

Just wake up, son.

Open your eyes.

[gasping]

[speaking latin]

Luka!

I love my boy!

Not tonight, Ric.

Tonight I have traded
you for senor tequila.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Well, senor tequila's not going
to be treating you very well.

Well, the two of you
have a lot in common.

Look, Jenna, I hate that
you're this upset with me.

Yeah, well,
it's your fault.

Because whatever it is
you're keeping from me;

Whatever you think
I can't handle...

You're wrong.

'Cause last year
I was a grad student

who smoked a lot of pot

And now I'm a parent, so I think
I can handle anything, Ric.

Jenna...

He said the ball's

Yeah, but I can't

Why not? All you do is talk about

Yeah, but I am still keeping

Alaric's in the same

And maybe that's

Yeah! Yeah.

You know what,

Come on, off the stage.

[cheers and applause]

[groaning and gasping]

[speaking latin]

You killed him!
Aah!

He's dead
and I have no one.

And now you're about to find out
exactly what that feels like.

[gasping]

There you go.

[groaning and gasping]

What the hell?!

That's for not telling me
the dagger would kill me.

[groaning]
Next time...

It goes in your heart.

Is that how
you treat someone who...

[groaning] ahh...

Is trying to help you?
Want to help?

Start talking.

I'd love to, but you're
not going to like it.

Try me.

Fine. John Gilbert and
Isobel want you and Stefan

out of Elena's life.

That's old news.

Not the part where
he offered me a deal.

He knew that killing Elijah
would get me out of the tomb,

So he gave me a choice.

Either I stay
and help with Klaus,

Or he kills Stefan.

But he still tried
to have me killed.

Right.

That was part of the deal.
I could only save one of you.

So you chose Stefan.

Of course you did.

You wanted the truth, Damon.

Would you rather I lie?

[rock music playing
in distance]

Ahh! Oh, sorry.

Sorry, Elena.

[laughs]

You know, I really
have to get back to work.

Definitely.

I-I wouldn't.
Caroline and Matt are...

In the bathroom?!
If they're happy,

I'm happy. [chuckles]
Um, hey,

Speaking of happy,

Would it freak you out if I
started dating your brother?

You're into my brother?

I know it's weird, um,

But he's been so good and strong.
It makes me happy.

And I really can't tell
what you're thinking...

Right now.

[chuckles]
I'm thinking that...

My brother has had
more pain in his life

than a hundred people's
worth of pain,

And...

He deserves to be with
someone as amazing as you.

Really?

Really.

[cell phone rings]

Oh.

Hey, Stefan,
I'm at the grill.

I can't hear you.
Hold... yeah.

Where are you going?

Luka Martin's dead. His
father's going after Elena.

I'm coming with you.

No, you're not.
Wait.

I don't need your help.
I don't want it.

I know what
we can do, Damon.

You have to let me do it.

Dr. Martin. You ok?

Where is she?

I don't understand.

My son is dead.

Whatever it is you
think you need to do,

There's a better way.

They killed Elijah
and they killed Luka.

And my only shot at getting my
daughter back is if I have Elena.

No. No, Dr. Martin.

[crowd murmuring]
where is she?

I don't know.
I haven't seen her.

[crowd screaming]

What the hell?

Mmm!

The power's out.
[chuckles] even better.

I wish, but I should
probably... whoa.

Hey!

We have a problem.
What's going on?

Jonas is here
and he's after Elena.

Oh, my god!

We have a plan, but I need
to get Elena out of here.

Well, what can I do?

It's time to get out of here.
I have to find Elena.

She's with Stefan, she's ok.

Jonas: No one's getting out
of here until I have her.

Don't do this.
Please don't do this.

Bonnie! Hey, Bonnie!

Bonnie!

Bonnie! Hey, Bonnie.

Come on. Come on.

[all yelling]

Dr. Martin!
I'm so sorry about Luka.

I never wanted
that to happen,

But... At least let us
help you get your daughter back.

Only Elijah can do that.

You don't need Elijah.

[all gasping]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[Caroline screaming]

Caroline!

Get away from her!

Matt, no!

Matt!

Matt! No!

Matt! Matt!

Oh! Oh, my god!

Ok. Uh...

Just breath,
Caroline, just breath.

[gasping]

Oh! Ahh!

You have to drink.
Please, please.

Luka...

I can't believe he's dead.

After what we did to him.

No, after what he did to you.

Look, I'm sorry, I know you
feel bad about all of this,

But I don't.

I couldn't do
anything to help.

I was useless.

I hated it.

Thank god.
It's not over yet.

What's going on?
He'll explain.

When did you guys
get home?

A few minutes ago.
Did you check the house?

And why would we
check the house?

[exhales]

[groaning]

You're welcome.

You didn't have to kill him!

Yes, we did.

[screaming]

Get off!

Ohh!

[exhales]

How did you guys
convince her to do this?

We didn't.
It was actually her idea.

Wow. That's...
Not good.

No. No, that's
not good at all.

Everything's
taken care of.

I'm guessing you're going
to want this back.

But your pretty
little outfit

is going to need
a good dry clean.

You're going to have to get her out
of here before Jenna gets home.

Is that all you have
to say to me?

This doesn't change
the way I feel about you.

I don't much like you, either,
if we're going to be open.

And frankly, I'd be
happy to see you dead,

But if we're going
to try to take on Klaus,

We kinda need you
to be alive.

So I'm not a threat
to you, Elena.

If any of you are going
to believe anything,

Believe that.

Thanks for getting me home.

That was kind of crazy.

Jenna, are you
going to be ok?

Look,

Isobel is dead.

And there things
about her death

that I can't tell you;

That aren't
for me to tell.

You can be upset
and hate me.

I get it.

But just know
that I love you.

At least I can
tell you that much.

Good night, Ric.

Good night.

Hey.

You made it home.

Tonight was very weird.

Tell me about it.

Jeremy:
I'm worried about you.

Bonnie:
Don't be.

No, I'm serious, Bonnie.

The only witch that could given
you your powers back is dead,

And... I think you have
a serious case of denial going,

And I want you to know that I'm
here for you no matter what, and...

[music playing]

Not that denial's
the worst thing.

[both chuckle]

Did you...

Shh.

When he grabbed me...

He gave me my powers back.

And something else.

Jonas wants me
to kill Klaus.

[chuckles]

And did he include a how?

Yeah.

He did.

You know what I can't
figure out?

What's that?

How the town knew
Emily Bennett was a witch.

I mean, because according
to Johnathan Gilbert,

He was the only one who knew.

I know he didn't
turn her in.

Mmm, I should have
figured as much.

Oh, she was a loose end.
I like mine tied up.

You know what
I can't figure out?

Do I care?

Why you won't tell me
where to find the site

of the witch massacre.

Because I have no clue.

You knew that Emily Bennett was the
key to getting me out of that tomb.

And something tells me that you
did everything in your power

to make sure
that she was safe,

yet you have no idea
where she was killed.

Who's the liar now?

You hurt me today.
Tit for tat.

You were mean.

And very rough.

And monstrous.

You deserved it.

I like this Damon.

Katherine.

Katherine, there are six other
bedrooms in this house.

Go find one.

[gasping]

Hi.

What the hell?

I had your face...

And all the blood.
I-I drank your blood.

You were dying.

My blood healed you.

What do you mean,
it healed me?

How can your blood
heal me?

Because that's what vampire
blood does for humans,

And that's what I am.

I'm a vampire, Matt.

No.

But it's all going to be ok,

Because I am going
to tell you everything,

And you're going to understand
why I had to keep it from you,

And we're going to be fine.

We'll be fine?!

Yes, because we're together
and we love each other.

Vampires.

Oh, my god.

Vickie, oh, my god,
at the hospital,

I thought that
she was tripping out.

What?

Vickie, she knew
about the vampires,

And I...

What... what did you do?

Nothing. Nothing! Matt!

I need to get out of here.

No, no, no! I can't let you leave.
I cannot let you leave.

What did you do
to my sister?

Nothing! Nothing! I swear,
I swear, nothing, nothing!

What did you do?!
Nothing, Matt!

You have to calm down! Matt!

Are John
and Jeremy asleep?

I think so.

If I go to bed right now,

There's a chance I'll
wake up hangover-free.

[doorbell rings]

Who's that?

Hi. You must be Jenna.

I'm...

Elena's mother.

Isobel.
