The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 2, Episode 4 - Memory Lane - full transcript

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.

-What are you?
-I'm a vampire.

-You must be ms. Pierce.
-Please. Call me katherine.

I was never in love
with you, katherine.

None of my feelings
were real.

Believe what you want, stefan.
But I know the truth.

So the black sheep returns.

-Tyler?
-Who's the guy with carol?

Mason lockwood.



You know where I could find
any family artifact stuff?

I'm just looking for
this old piece of my mom's.

It's a moon stone.

I think the lockwoods
have a family secret.

They're not vampires.
They're something else.

-Lycanthrope.
-Werewolves?

It was you.

I've had her blood. Katherine
obviously killed her.

A plus b equals...

I'm starving.

-Katherine.
-Don't be frightened.

We're going to have
so much fun together.

Look who found
his dancing shoes.

Uh! No touching, mr.
Salvatore. Those are the rules.



I thought
you didn't believe in rules.

My brother's still upset
that you chose me to escort you.

Well, damon needs to concede that his
younger brother is a better dancer.

Oh, looks like he found
someone to occupy his time.

Elena...

Stefan, don't.

Elena!

It's your turn.

Be prepared to lose.

It hurts, doesn't it?

Now you know how I feel.

Don't fight it, stefan.
You loved me once.

You can love me again.

I love you, stefan.

We'll be together again.

I promise.

Hey. You ok?

Yes. Bad dream.

Go back to sleep.

Katherine.

You have to admit
I am getting better at this.

It was easy to get
inside of your head.

Have you completely
forsaken your nature?

Are we really
going to do this again?

We both know I could
rip you to shreds

And do my nails
at the same time.

What do you want?

I wanted to see you.

I've missed you, stefan.

Indulge me
for a little while, please?

Why are you back in town?

3 reasons.

You, you, and you.

See, I can't quite
get that down.

It just kind of--ahem--
gets stuck in my throat.

You know, it's the truth.

Deep down inside
that gorgeous body of yours

Is the stefan that fell
in love with me, too.

What do you want?

So this is where
you spend your time

When you're not stabbing
people in the back.

I tricked you into
telling me the truth.

That's not stabbing
you in the back.

That's using your own
tactics against you.

Where are you going?

I made myself clear,
damon.

I want nothing
to do with you.

Ok. See you
at jenna's barbecue.

How did you know
about jenna's barbecue?

It was my idea.

Jenna went to high school
with mason lockwood.

So I figured a social
gathering would be a good way

To get to know the guy.

So, I told rick
to tell jenna--

Does jenna know that
you're going to be there?

Because she's not exactly
a fan of yours.

Thank you.

I'm hoping this peach cobbler
will pave the way.

What are you up to?

I'm gonna go put some silver
into mason lockwood

And prove he's a werewolf.

See you at the barbecue.

Tyler: Hey, mason,
you got a second?

Nah, man, barbecue
at jenna sommer's house.

Come on, give me 2 minutes.
All right?

You can't keep dodging me.
I'm freaking out over here.

Tyler, what do you want me
to say, man?

Yes, I turned into a wolf.

No, it's not gonna
happen to you.

How do you know that?

Because you're not gonna
trigger the curse.

Your dad didn't know
anything about any of this.

Neither did I
till it happened to me.

How does it get triggered?

Ignorance is bliss.
Trust me.

You blow back into town with
some supernatural family secret

And you expect me
not to ask questions?

I can't say anything more.
I'm sorry, tyler.

It's just better for you
if I don't.

You ever find that moonstone?

Do you know where it is?

What's so special about it?

I told you.
It was my mom's.

It's sentimental.

Look, don't worry about it.

Forget I even
brought it up, all right.

See ya later.

You shouldn't read
someone's journal.

I know. I'm sorry.

It was just too tempting, all
your inner thoughts and feelings,

Laying there on your desk
for me to read.

Damon's private stock.

That's right!
You don't do human.

I read that.

I also read about your
recent werewolf sighting.

That must have come
as a surprise.

What do you know
about werewolves?

I know not to pet one.

Their bite kills, stefan.

It's best to stay clear
of them during a full moon.

And how do you know this?

Who do you think
was responsible

For ridding this town
of vampires in 1864?

The founding families.

Spearheaded by?

The lockwoods.

You remember the
founder's ball, don't you?

The one that you were
dreaming about?

I was your escort.

That was before you and damon
knew about my little secret.

Everyone, will you please
join me in raising your glasses

To my good friend
george lockwood.

George, thank you for so
bravely defending the south.

My honor, mr. Salvatore.

After all,
someone had to do it.

May I have a word,
miss katherine?

Grab a glass, henry.
It's a celebration.

Please,
miss katherine.

I looked into those attacks
from the other night.

It wasn't vampires.

That's good news, henry. That means
we have nothing to worry about.

I'm afraid you don't understand.

Those folks were torn apart
in ways I've never seen before.

Then...

It won't be long before the
founders draw up an investigation.

We'll leave town immediately.
I'll tell the others.

Relax, henry.

This is town
is our home,

And the vampires
are my family.

I won't let anything
happen to us.

Katherine: From the
moment I met george,

I knew he'd be a problem.

So, you're saying that all
the lockwoods are werewolves?

The werewolf gene runs
in the lockwood family.

Not that they're all wolves.

How many other werewolves
are out there?

I mean, is it just...
Limited to the lockwoods?

No. There are others.
Not many.

They're practically extinct.

They mainly exist now in
books and really bad movies.

My turn to ask a question.

Why did you keep
this picture?

Why not burn it? Tear it up?

You wanna know
why I came back?

Well, I have
a better question.

Why did you?

For elena?

No.

You came back here to fall in love
with me all over again, didn't you?

What is it about you...

That makes me still care?

Now, where were we?

That's right.

You were gonna tell me why you came
back to mystic falls, weren't you?

You didn't have to do this.

Answer the question.

I came back for you.

We're gonna play
by my rules now.

What are you doing?

Answer the question.

You're going
to torture me now?

I'm going to do whatever it takes
to get you to tell me the truth.

Later that night
at the founder's ball--

I don't wanna hear anymore
stories about the past.

Yes, you do, stefan.

That's exactly
what you want to hear.

She's all alone.

Does this mean I can finally
have you all to myself?

Your father's outdone himself.

Knowing father, he'll want to
throw a founders party every year.

I must admit I am rather surprised
that you'd come looking for me.

Because you're the rope in the
salvatore brother's tug-of-war?

No, because I'm a vampire who
could kill you in your sleep.

I beg your pardon?

Relax, george.

I know you know my secret.

This conversation
is over.

And I know your secret, too.

And I know that you're extra
strong. Only not as strong.

How do you know who I am?

You think that I would settle into
a town without knowing my enemies?

What do you want?

Stefan: What did he want?

Thanks for letting me
invite caroline.

She could use a day
of distraction.

She's not the plus one
I'm worried about.

Why is damon coming?

Because alaric is a pity-taker.

Come on, jenna. Be nice.

I'll be nice when damon learns
to keep his paws off you.

Ahh, good news.
Found the shot glasses.

That would be my exit.

You're here for 10 minutes
and already I'm back

Under the bleachers
at the pep rally.

Just like old times, huh?

Only I didn't swipe
this bottle from my old man.

Oh, the expensive stuff.
I like you already.

Just happy to be invited.

Thank rick.
This was his idea.

Really?
Yeah. Well, you know.

I thought it'd be nice to meet some
of jenna's old high school friends.

Dig up a little dirt.

Oh, I've got dirt.
I've got dirt.

I have no secrets.
Only dirty shame.

To dirty shame.

Cheers.

Hey.

Damon.

We were just doing shots. Let
me get you a shot glass, buddy.

Here.

Use mine.

She doesn't like me
very much.

We haven't met.
Mason lockwood.

Oh, sure. Hey.
Damon salvatore.

I know. I've heard
great things about you.

Really? That's weird.
'cause I'm a dick.

[beep]

Hey. I'm just checking in.

Did you get my message
about jenna's barbecue?

Call me when you can.

Was that stefan?

He hasn't called me back. I'm trying
to decide if I should be worried.

I'm sure he's fine.

God, I cannot stop eating.

Stefan says it's a great way
to sublimate the cravings.

It's horrible.

Fighting the urge for blood
every minute of every day.

I know stefan really hates
that part of himself.

Well, yeah. And he hates that
you're a constant temptation.

He said that?

Hmm. The desire to rip out your
jugular every time he's with you?

Trust me, it's there.

It's why I had
to break up with matt.

Hey, food's ready.
Come get it.

Finally. I am starving.

We can sit here
as long as you want.

And when you start
to desiccate,

There's a tomb
with your name on it.

I've been doing all the
talking. It's your turn.

Do you pretend to be
human when you're with elena?

Is that the appeal?

Actually, I don't pretend
to be anything

When I'm with her.

That's the whole point.

I get to just be myself.

Does she know
that you love me?

I don't.

That's where
you're wrong, stefan.

Don't you remember
bringing me home that night?

Your family had taken me in.

I had a lovely time, stefan.

How long do you plan on
staying in mystic falls?

As long as I'm wanted.

Your father has been very
kind to give me shelter.

How could not?

Losing your family
in the fire.

I'm grateful you made it
out of atlanta.

So, I gather I'm wanted?

Very much so.

I know we've only known
each other for a short while.

And I know I'm in competition
for your affections.

But...

I've never met a woman
quite like you.

I look at you
and I see an angel.

I touch your skin...

And my entire body ignites.

I kiss you and I know
that I'm falling in love.

I am in love with you.

There's just so much you
don't know about me, stefan.

More to learn and love.

I must say goodnight.

I've upset you?

No.

You haven't upset me.

You've just surprised me.

Till tomorrow.

What are you doing here?

I told you I would come.

Well, I'm tired.
You should go.

Did my little brother's
confession overwhelm you?

You shouldn't eavesdrop.

Is my love not enough?

I told you. I'm tired.

I wish to be alone tonight.
Please leave.

Goodnight, katherine.

Go ahead, stefan.

Torture me, keep me captive,

Drain me of blood
until my body turns to dust.

It'll never change the truth.

I never compelled your love.

It was real.
And so was mine.

Dress! Ballerina! Ballet!
Puppy! Puppy!

Puppy with a tutu.

No.
Dog. Hound dog.

You ain't nothing
but a hound dog!

"dances with wolves."

Mason wins...Again.

Jenna: How is that a wolf?!

Aunt jenna's getting tipsy.

Will you stop plying her
with alcohol?

I want her to like me.

How's operation lockwood?

He's my new bff.

There you are.

Isn't this fun?

Yes. Thank you so much
for inviting me.

Did I have a choice?

I know what you must
think about me.

No, you don't.

You've never dated you.
I have dated many yous.

Well, I'm a work
in progress.

These are fancy.

Thanks.
My mother's silver set.

Hearing the truth after a
century and a half of denial

Must be overwhelming.

It wasn't real. I
remember you compelling me.

Only after I showed you
who I really was.

You were so scared of me.
I had to take away your fear.

Well, whatever feelings
I had back then...

They've all turned to hate.

Love, hate.

Such a fine line.

I can wait.

Anyway, george lockwood was
causing all sorts of trouble.

He used the vampires
to cover up his own tracks.

He told the founding families
about us.

But he was willing
to strike a deal.

What kind of a deal?

A deal to rid the town
of vampires.

I just spoke
to giuseppe salvatore.

The round-up happens tonight.

Good. Insist that
they do a body count

Before they set the
church is set ablaze.

I will.
27 vampires.

Once the flames create chaos,

Crawl to the exit
under the choir loft.

I'll be there
to set you free.

Make sure
you're not followed.

I need everyone to believe
that I perished in that fire.

You knew that they were going to
burn the vampires in the church?

I practically lit the match.

They were your friends.
They were your family.

You just sold them out?

Without blinking.

Mason.

Why don't you
start us off.

Sure.

What? I apologize.
I'm an animal.

So, mason,
you and jenna never dated?

She was always lost
in logan fell-land.

Oh, my first mistake.

Mason was a catch.

He had girls lining up.

Really?!

Huh. I pegged you
for a lone wolf.

I'm sure I wasn't
half the lady killer you were.

How about a toast?

To new friends.

Cheers!

Would I be the worst friend in the world
if I abandoned you and went to stefan's?

You want to leave?

It's just that he hasn't
gotten back to me.

And I'm starting
to get this bad feeling.

I don't think
that's a good idea, elena.

Damon's got it
under control here.

Take it from me, there's nothing
worse than a clingy girlfriend.

I'm not being clingy.
I'm just concerned.

You understand, right?

How about I drive you?

Yeah. Ok.
That'd be great. Thanks.

What did george get in return
for giving you your freedom?

Something
he wanted desperately.

So you sent 26 of your friends

To their death
just to fake your own?

No. You were running
from something. What was it?

Everyone has a past, stefan.

Mine needed to stay far,
far away.

But thanks to you, my plan nearly
failed before it even began.

Once george told me that
the roundup was imminent,

I made sure I could
see you one last time.

Vervain!

But your father used your
love for me against you.

Katherine!

He poisoned your blood.

We don't have long.

Then damon, being damon,

Nearly ruined everything.

No!

We came for you.
We tried to save you.

I didn't want to be saved.

Then damon and I died
for nothing. For nothing!

No, stefan.
You died for love!

Jenna just brought out
"guitar hero."

It might be time to mutiny.

Well, I just I happen
to like "guitar hero."

So you, my friend, are
barking up the wrong tree.

Ok, enough with the innuendos.
You win. You're hilarious.

Thank you.

Come on, man, you don't think I
know what this barbecue is about?

How do you know about me?

Your brother
was completely clueless.

It doesn't matter.
I'm not your enemy, damon.

You tried to kill
my brother.

That was a mistake.

Really?

There was confusion.

I couldn't chain
myself up in time.

I have no control once I shift.

What, no obedience school?

I'm serious.

Let's not spark some age-old
feud that doesn't apply to us.

You expect me to believe that you're
in mystic falls planting peace trees?

I lost my brother.

My nephew lost his father.
I'm here for my family.

Let's be above this.

Thanks for this.
I appreciate it.

Here we come--
to the rescue.

Why are you being so snippy?

That's my own drama.

I'm sure that you two
will beat the odds.

Not that there's any study
to pull odds from.

What is the ratio of success
for vampire/human couplings?

I'm guessing nil.

Ok, caroline.

Sorry.

I love this song.

What's playing?

Ta-da.

Oh...
Crap.

No takers for more
drinks at the grill?

It's like I'm with
a bunch of adults here.

I prefer the term role model.

Ok. Well, thanks for
having me. It was awesome.

Alaric,
catch that game next week?

Yeah. Looking forward to it.

Hey, you know, I should
probably head out, too.

Jenna...

You are a wonderful hostess.

And you are a terrible artist.

Is that the only thing
that makes me terrible?

Still deciding.

Good enough for me.

Alaric...

Let's not catch
that game next week.

Are you sure the tow's coming?
We've been waiting forever.

I know. It's weird.

They said they'd
be here by now.

Yeah.

I'm just gonna call jenna.

No!

Let me try
the tow people again.

And I'll use my aggro voice.

We can
just walk from here.

I can't just leave my car.

We'll come back for it.

Just give me a minute, elena.

Caroline, what part of "I'm worried
about stefan" didn't sink in?

What's the rush?

Why are you hurrying to get to a
relationship that'll never work?

Ok. Look, I know that
you're upset over matt,

But will you stop projecting
it onto me and stefan, please?

I'm not projecting anything.

You're human. He's a vampire.

You're going to be 70
and in diapers,

And he's still
gonna be smoking hot.

And you will never have
his children, elena.

And you are too maternal
to not have children.

Where is this coming from?

I'm just trying
to be your friend.

Ok. Well, do me a favor
and stop trying.

There's the tow.
I'm gonna walk.

No. Elena, don't--

Aah. Caroline,
you're hurting me.

Don't leave me alone.

What's wroityou?

Hey there. Someone call
about a flat tire?

She did.

Damon.

What? More dog jokes?

Nah. Those got old.

Uhh.

You know...

I think it was werewolves who
started this whole silver myth.

Probably for moments
like this.

Duly noted.

I was really looking forward
to last call.

Now you made an enemy.

So you going to tell me
why you came back here?

Or were you just
playing another game?

Have you not heard a word
that I've said?

I've answered that question
5 times over now.

All right. Good.
Make it six.

I want what I want, stefan.

And I don't care
what I have to do to get it.

My list of victims
is a long one.

And I have no problem adding
one more name to that list.

Come on, katherine.
If you wanted elena dead,

You would have done it
by now.

I still can.

If I have to,

I will snap her neck
like a twig. And you know it.

Guess you don't hate me
as much as you thought you did.

I don't want you
seeing elena anymore.

If you don't remove her
from your life,

I will kill everyone that
she loves while she watches,

And then I will kill her
while you watch.

Don't you ever think for one
moment that I will not kill you.

I have been sipping vervain every
single day for the last 145 years.

You caught me by surprise once,

I wasn't going to let
it happen again.

It doesn't hurt me, stefan.

What--why--

I told you.

I've missed you, stefan.

I just wanted to spend
some time with you.

Elena: Hello?

Stefan?

Stefan?

You must be elena.

Katherine.

Care to share how you couldn't
follow through with one simple task?

I tried, ok?

But I couldn't exactly
kidnap my best friend.

Occupy her.
That's all I asked.

I told her that
her relationship was doomed.

And all that
mortality stuff.

I think I--I--

I really think
that I got to her.

I hope so.

Because let's not forget.
I already killed you once.

I can easily
do it again.

How was that barbecue?

Not great. You still pissed?

You still keeping secrets?

Yep.

Then I'm still pissed.

Hey, you know, I was thinking
about that stone you're looking for.

I might know a couple places
it could be.

Do you think this is a joke?

If you know where it is
then tell me.

Tell me how the curse
is triggered.

If I tell you, you won't be able
to think about anything else.

I don't want that for you.

I think I can
handle knowing.

Yeah. You think you can handle
it, tough guy? You have no idea!

Do you want your
stupid rock or not?!

Tell me where it is.

Tell me what
triggers the curse!

You have
to kill somebody!

Human blood!

You take a person's
life away from them,

Then the curse
is yours forever.

Can you handle that?

Elena.

Hey.
Hey.

Oh my god, I am so sorry
about earlier today.

I don't--I don't know
what came over me.

It's ok, caroline.

Everything that
you were saying was right.

It's just hard for me
to hear, you know?

So you're not mad at me?

You were just being
a good friend...

In your own way.

My own head-case,

Horrible way.

Elena,
I really am sorry.

I'm starving.

Well, spending a day
with your jealous ex

Will do that to you.

Listen, I know you're upset.

All right, but...

We have to take her seriously.

Today was all about
the lengths that she'll go to.

If she was going to
hurt me, she would have.

I was standing right
in front of her.

Elena,
you caught her off guard.

It doesn't mean
that you're safe.

I'm not afraid of her.

Well, you should be.

If katherine had her way,

We'd be breaking up
right now.

And if today taught me anything,

It's that katherine's
used to getting her way.

You're not actually saying
that we should do what she says.

Listen, she's sadistic.

Ok. She threatened you.

She threatened everyone.

Yeah. No. I get it, ok.
She's dangerous.

But every day that we're
together it's dangerous.

Why are you giving her
so much power

Over our relationship?

This the reality
of our situation.

Reality sucks.

This is what she wants,
stefan.

She wants us to fight.

She wants get between us.

She already has, elena.

Bad day?

Bad century.

I heard you were
on the loose.

What's the matter? Jealous
I spent the day with stefan?

I don't do jealous.
Not with you.

Not anymore.

Then why so pouty?

I tried to kill a werewolf
and failed.

Now I feel like I'm not
living up to my best self.

Well, werewolves
aren't easy prey.

What do you know
about werewolves?

Why don't you
ask your brother?

Don't try to be the hero,
damon. You'll end up dead.

Been there, done that.

At least this time
it will have been worth it.

You ok?

I hated that fight.

I know, me, too.
It felt too real.

Did you see caroline?

Yeah.

We were right.
Katherine got to her.

She was hanging
on to every single word.

Then it won't be long before
katherine gets a play-by-play.

I wish I was wrong,

But I know caroline
too well.

It was so obvious that
something was up today.

You're not wrong.
It's pure katherine.

She's always finding somebody
to do her dirty work.

I think damon was
listening to us fight, too.

Are you gonna tell him
that it wasn't real?

The only way katherine's gonna
believe it is if everybody believes it.

It's the best way to make her
think she's getting what she wants.

All this...

Just to get you back.

That's not why she's here. Ok?

No matter what she says.

I know her.

Katherine doesn't care
about anybody but herself.

She never has.

She's incapable of love.

She's here for another reason.

George.

Your carriage
is waiting.

Well done, george.
Thank you.

Now on to your
part of the deal.

If anyone learns of my escape,

I will find you.
And I will kill you.

Don't think that I won't.

We shall take each other's
secrets to our grave.

Now you must hurry.

I love you, stefan.

We will be together again.

I promise.
