The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 3, Episode 3 - The End of the Affair - full transcript

Klaus takes Stefan to Chicago, where he wants to resuscitate his sister Rebekah, who might hold the key to breaking the curse. Gradually, Stefan is reminded of his Prohibition period affair...

Previously
on "the Vampire Diaries"...

Mrs. Lockwood!
Leaving so soon?

I've gotten myself
into a vampire situation.

Hello?!

- Daddy?
- Where's Stefan?

He gave
himself over to Klaus.

You can embrace
what you truly are...

A ripper.

Stefan can be saved.
I'll help you bring him back.

So is this
your master plan?

To build an army
of hybrid slaves?



Not slaves... soldiers.

Something's wrong.
They're all dead.

I should be able
to turn them.

I killed the doppelganger.

I did everything I was told!

You're interrupting my drink.

Miss me?

Katherine.
Where are you?

Lurking outside your window,
pining away.

What do you want?

I'm homesick.
What have I missed?

Well, Stefan's still
Klaus' little prisoner

and Elena still
thinks she can save him

and no one's thought about
you since you left.



And what about you? I'm sure now that
you've given up on your brother,

you're plotting
some sort of way

of moving in on his girlfriend.

I didn't give up on him.
I just don't know where he is.

Hmm.

But you do.

Are you trailing them?

A hybrid who wants me dead

and his sidekick
who's off the rails?

I couldn't be further away.

Which means you know
exactly where they are.

All I know is that
Klaus pitched a fit

once his hybrids didn't work.

Now he's looking
for some answers.

- How do you know that?
- Spend 500 years running,

and there will be a few people along
the way that are looking out for you.

Is that what
you're doing?

Looking out
for my brother?

Maybe, maybe not.

I'm conflicted.

Where are they?

Welcome back
to Chicago, Stefan.

What
are we doing here?

I know how much
you loved it here.

Bringing back memories
of the good old ripper days.

Blocked out
most of them.

A lot of blood,
a lot of partying.

The details
are all a blur.

Well, that is a crying shame.

The details are what
makes it legend.

Word was the ripper
of Monterrey got lonely,

so he escaped to the city
for comfort.

It was prohibition.
Everything was off limits then,

which made everything
so much fun.

Guess who my eyes
have just spied, ladies?

Looking for a good time,
Mr. Salvatore?

Save me a dance, Gloria.

Ooh. Please, help yourself.

- Oh, I always do.
- Hmm.

Careful, Mr. Salvatore.

You're still wearing your date.

She's lovely.

No, no, no.

Who are you?

Chicago was magical.

Yeah, well, I'll take
your word for it.

Like I said, I don't
remember most of it.

Ready to get down
to business, then?

Why am I still with you?
We had our fun,

your hybrids failed.
I mean, don't you want to move on?

We're going to see
my favorite witch.

If anyone can help us
with our hybrid problem,

it's her.

Mmm.

Rise and shine,
sleepy head.

Aah!

What are you doing?! Get out!

You know you were dreaming about me.
Explains the drool.

Ugh. Oh, my God.

6:00 A.M. seriously?

Do you really have nothing
better to do at 6:00 A.M.?

Fine, don't come with me
to bring Stefan home.

See ya.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait. What?

What are you talking about?
Where is he?

Windy city.

He's in Chicago?
Well, how do you know?

It came to me in a dream. I was naked.
You would have loved it.

- Start packing.
- Is he ok?

Well, let's just say he's
not there to meet Oprah.

Ooh.

Put these in
the "yes" pile.

Daddy, are you there?

Why won't you talk to me?

Dad!

Shhh.

I'm so sorry
this happened to you.

Dad...

I need an answer.

How do you walk
in the sunlight?

Just let me go.

Sweetheart, please,
just answer me.

Then we'll get on
with it.

Is that all you want to know?

That's all I want
to know.

Interesting.

No, dad, no!
What are you...

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

Your ancestors
built this place.

People figured it was for unruly
prisoners at the jailhouse,

but...

They had something
else in mind.

Vervain in
the ventilation system

to keep
their subject weak.

Reinforced steel
containment chair.

And that.

What?

What are you doing?
Dad?

Blood controls you,
sweetheart.

This is how
I'm going to fix you.

What?

I sure Hope we find him,
'cause it would suck

if the last momento of Stefan
was that crappy old necklace.

It's an antique, Damon.

Like you.

Hmm.

Read this.

Paints a pretty
little picture

of Stefan's first
experience in Chicago.

It's Stefan's diary.

I'm not going to invade
his private thoughts.

You need to be prepared for
what you're about to see.

I've seen Stefan
in his darkest periods.

I can handle it.

Here's one.
March 12th, 1922.

"I've blacked out days.

"I wake up
in strangers' blood,

in places I don't recognize
with women I don't remember."

Ahh! I'm shocked!

Stefan's not a virgin?

Eyes on the road, grandma.

Fine.

Back to my game.
Tell me if you see a Florida plate.

Sorry to crash
the fun, boys,

but some of us actually came
here to hear the music. Not you.

Oof. I am so sorry, sweetheart.

Are we offending you?

It would take a lot more than a
baby face like this to offend me.

Ooh!

Ahem. Hey, hey.

You ever going
to tell me your name?

Sure. When you earn it.

Now do Gloria a favor
and stick a sock in it.

Looks familiar,
doesn't it?

I can't believe this
place is still here.

You got to be
kidding me.

So a hybrid walks into a bar,
says to the bartender...

Stop. You may be
invincible,

but that doesn't
make you funny.

- I remember you.
- Yeah.

- You're Gloria.
- Mm-hmm.

Shouldn't you be...

Old and dead?

Now if I die, who's going
to run this place, huh?

Gloria's a very
powerful witch.

I can slow
the aging down some.

Herbs and spells.
But don't worry,

it'll catch up
to me one day.

Stefan, why don't you
go and fix us up

a little something
from behind the bar.

Yeah, sure thing.

You look ravishing,
by the way.

Don't.

I know
why you're here.

A hybrid out to
make more hybrids?

That kind of
news travels.

So what am I doing wrong?
I broke the curse.

Obviously you did
something wrong.

Look, every spell
has a loophole,

but a curse
that old...

We'd have to contact the
witch who created it.

Well, that would be
the original witch.

- She's very dead.
- I know.

And for me to contact
her, I'll need help.

Bring me Rebekah.
Rebekah.

Rebekah is a bit preoccupied.

She has what I need.
Bring her to me.

What is this?

Well, I told you, Stefan.

Chicago's a magical place.

But this is me.

With you.

Caroline! It's mom.

Just coming up for air after a
few all-nighters at the station.

I thought we'd have lunch
and you could remind me

I promised not
to work so hard.

No! Please! Stop!

Please stop!

Please!

I don't hurt anyone,
I swear.

Daddy, swear.

I can handle
the urges. I can!

If you could handle it,
this wouldn't happen.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

By conditioning you

to associate vampirism
with pain, in time,

the thought
of human blood

will make you repress your
vampire instincts completely.

That's impossible.

Daddy, you can't
change who I am.

Yes, I can.

You remember
this feeling?

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

Stefan could live anywhere in
Chicago and he chose this?

There used to be an all-girls
high school around the corner,

but it shut down for
attendance issues. Weird.

If you're trying to scare me
into giving up and going back,

- it's not going to work.
- Shh.

Here we are.

Stefan's second
personality home.

Pretty obvious
he hasn't been here.

Tour is not over yet.

Stefan hid his alcohol.

What a monster.

Look harder.

It's a list of names.

Mm-hmm.

These are all
of his victims?

Still handling it?

What were you doing
in the 1920s?

Paving the way for
women's liberation?

I was around.
Chicago's a big city.

Stefan was
a cocky ripper douche.

But I could avoid him
and still indulge

in a few Daisy Buchanans
of my own.

Ugh. Where
are you going?

- His old stomping ground.
- I'm coming with you.

No. You stay here
and whip up an actual plan.

I'll come back
when I find him.

This doesn't make any sense.
Why don't I remember you?

You said it yourself, that
time had a lot of dark holes.

No, if you knew me, then why
haven't you said anything?

I'm a little busy right now.
Memory Lane will have to wait.

What the hell is going on?
Answer me.

Let's just say we didn't get
off to a brilliant start.

To be honest,
I hated you.

It's beautiful.

A witch
gave it to me.

- Supposedly it's magical.
- And is it?

It brought me
love, didn't it?

It's late,
Rebekah, we're leaving.

- Get off of me!
- Who is this guy?

Stefan, don't.
He'll kill you.

He's a lot stronger
than he looks.

So this is the famous
Stefan Salvatore

I've been hearing
so much about.

You're right, he does
have funny hair.

I'm bored.
I want to go.

Then go without me,
I'm not your girlfriend.

No, you're
my sister,

which means...
You have to do

as I say.

Your sister.

So I knew another
original vampire.

If you can't handle it,
then don't ask.

I don't recognize her.

Well, don't
tell her that.

Rebekah's temper
is worse than mine.

Time to wake up,
little sister.

Any day now,
Rebekah.

She's being
dramatic.

Look, why don't you
just tell me

what the hell is going on?

I mean, you obviously want
me here for a reason, right?

- Well, you have many useful talents.
- Do I?

In fact, I learned some of
my favorite tricks from you.

Hmm.

So Stefan,
enlighten me.

What makes you worthy of an
original like my sister?

She's pure vampire and you're no
more than a diluted bloodline.

Don't listen to him, Stefan.
Nik's an elitist.

Hmm. And where's
the rest of your family?

Well, let's see. Um...
I killed most of them.

Oh!
But not all.

And you're ok with that?

Well, we all had the
chance to choose a side.

I chose the right one,
eventually.

Where the hell's my wife?

I don't know. I give up.

You think you're so tough?
Hiding in your bar, drinking your liquor?

A telephone call to Chicago P.D.
might set you straight.

Oooh!

Lila? Lila, please.

- Come here for a second.
- Oh, thank God.

Come on, we're leaving.

Oh, no, no, no, no. No.

You're sitting.

Stefan, don't be mean.

What the hell
are you doing?

Ahhh.

Ahhh.

Thank you so much, Lila.

Why don't you go
and bandage that up.

I'd like you
to join me for a drink.

What kind of sick
freaks are you?

I said,
drink!

- I didn't catch your name.
- Go to hell.

Do you want another sip?
Liam.

Liam Grant.
Liam Grant!

Have another sip, Liam.

Finish it.

I was
your number one fan.

Why should I believe
any of this?

When she wakes up, tell her
to meet us at Gloria's bar.

Then volunteer your carotid
artery and let her feed

- until you die.
- Where are you going?

You think I'm lying, Stefan.
You and I knew each other.

You trusted me with
one of your secrets

and now I'm going
to prove it to you.

How?

We're going to your
old apartment.

All right.

Well, look what
the wind blew in.

Last I heard,
you hated this place.

Gloria. Damn!

If I knew you were going to age like
this, I would have stuck around.

I always did
like you better.

But I see your brother is still
running in the wrong crowd.

You've seen him?

With Klaus.
Bad combo.

You know where
they went?

They'll be back here
later tonight.

They're out running
a little errand for me.

Gloria..

Don't be a tease.

What kind of errand?

- Mmm.
- I don't think so.

You may be cute,
but you're still a vampire.

April, 1922.

Lexi found me last night,
dragged me off the train tracks.

Thinks she can make me
care again.

June, 1924... Lexi's
driving me crazy.

More animal blood,
more misery.

1935... cravings are there,
but it's easier.

Lexi's on
to her next project...

Getting me to laugh.

What a charming
little homestead.

Do you feel that?

Is anybody here?

It's been vacant for decades.
People must break in all the time.

Why'd you bring me here?

Your friend, Liam Grant,
the one who drank

his wife's blood...
I never could figure out

why you wanted
his name.

And then you told me
your little secret.

It was all part of your
special little ritual.

- To write it down.
- And relive the kill...

Over and over again.

You believe me now?

Look what I found.

1918.

Single malt.

- My favorite.
- Hmm.

Let's go and find someone
to pair it with.

Finally!
I called you an hour ago.

Make yourself presentable.

I know where Stefan's
going to be tonight.

I told you that I was
practically discovered by Klaus

and you're worried about
what I'm wearing?

I had an hour to realize
what a bad idea it was

to leave you here alone,

process it, and move on.

Are you ok?

- Yeah.
- Ok, good.

Get dressed. You're all
road-tripy and gross.

So you know where
he's going to be?

Yes, with Klaus. So I'll distract
Klaus and you deal with Stefan.

Ok. Thank you.

But you're going to have
about five minutes tops

before that hybrid freak
rips my heart out.

So please, tell me
you can do this.

I can do this.

- Where's Rebekah?
- She'll be here.

I can't just conjure
her on demand.

What's with you? I thought
Chicago was your playground.

So this is why you asked me
to be your wingman?

Because you liked the way
that I tortured innocent people?

Well, that's certainly
half of it.

What's the other half?

The other half,
Stefan,

is that you used to
want to be my wingman.

They're jealous.

Your family wants you dead because
they can never be what you are.

What? An abomination?

No. A king.

Huh?

Look at us.

- Two sad orphans.
- Yeah.

My sister fancies you,
you know.

- Hmm.
- But...

I should warn you,

Rebekah doesn't do
anything half-speed,

and that includes
falling in love.

So just be careful.

She's totally mad.

I appreciate
the advice.

And when the point comes where
she inevitably leaves you...

She can't help it,
it's just who she is.

Don't let your heart
do anything stupid.

You know what,
you're a good friend, Nik.

I'm glad I met you.

To friendship.

I want you to know,

when Carol Lockwood called
and told me about you...

I sat down and cried.

Dad, I'm ok.

I've learned to adapt.

I don't need to be fixed.

I can't be fixed.

I've always taught you
to try your best.

I need you
to try your best now.

There, see? You're doing it.

I can't.

Yes, you can.
Fight the urge.

Daddy, I'm starving.

I know you are, car. Try.

Why? You know that this
isn't going to work.

It has to work.
It's the only option.

Why are you trying
to fix me?

So I don't have to kill you!

Daddy, I'm sorry.

The sun's gone down.

We'll try again tomorrow.

Hello, Bill.

Put the gun down, Liz.
I know what I'm doing.

That's our daughter
in there.

She looks up to you.
She loves you.

Then she'll trust me
to do the right thing.

Let me do this, Liz.
Not because she's a monster.

But because we love her.

Tyler.

You're not
going in there.

Go ahead.

Tyler.

It's ok. We're going
to get you out of here.

My ring.

Ok.

So I'm confused.

If we were such great friends,

why do I only know you
as the hybrid dick

who sacrificed my girlfriend
on an altar of fire?

Huh?

All good things
must come to an end.

They're using wooden
bullets. They know.

- That means he's here.
- Who?

Who's here?

Rebekah! Come on, we've
got to go, sweetheart.

- What the hell is going on?
- Stefan!

Go!

Stefan.

I'm sorry,
but the fun has to end here.

What are you
talking about?

You must forget
Rebekah and me.

Until I say otherwise,
you never knew us, Stefan.

Thank you. I had forgotten what
it was like to have a brother.

You compelled me to forget.

It was time for Rebekah
and I to move on.

Better to have
a clean slate.

But why?

You shouldn't have
to cover your tracks...

Unless you're running
from someone.

Storytime's over.

I need another drink.

A real one.

What is wrong
with you?!

What is wrong with you?

You kill Andie one day,
you save my life the next.

What are you good, bad?
Pick one!

Klaus almost saw Elena today.
You have to get her out of Chicago.

She's not going anywhere
until she's got you

checked into vampire
rehab and on the mend.

Trust me. I've tried.

She is the key to everything.

Klaus can't know
that she's alive.

What are you talking about?

She was supposed to die in the
sacrifice and she didn't.

Now Klaus can't create
any new hybrids.

His witch is seconds away
from figuring that out.

Tell Elena to go home
and forget about me.

Tell her yourself.

- Last call.
- Drink 'em up.

Ahh.

I see they've opened the
doors to the riff raff now.

Oh, honey,
I've been called worse.

You don't give up,
do you?

Give me my brother back...

You'll never have
to see me again.

Well, I am torn.

You see, I promised Stefan
I wouldn't let you die,

but how many freebies
did I really sign up for?

And clearly
you want to die,

otherwise you wouldn't
be here, so...

What can I say?

I'm a thrill seeker.

You shouldn't be here.

Where else would I be?

What do you want?

Damon won't be able to
distract Klaus for long.

Come home.

How much clearer
can I make it?

I don't want
to come home!

Oh, dear, what was that?

I'm a little boozey,

so you'll forgive me if I miss
your heart the first few tries.

Ohh!

No, that's not it. Hmm.

Ohh. Almost.

You want
a partner in crime?

Forget Stefan.

I'm so much more fun.

You won't be any fun
after you're dead.

Really?

Not in my bar.
You take it outside.

You don't have to negotiate
your brother's freedom.

When I'm done with him,

he won't want to go back.

Klaus is obsessed with
siring these hybrids.

The second he knows
you're alive,

he'll figure out
why it's not working.

Look, I know you're trying to protect
me, but I can't let you do it.

Come with me, Stefan, please.

And what do you expect
if I do? Huh?

It's never going to be
the same, Elena.

I know that.

I don't think you do.

I've left bodies
scattered

from Florida
to Tennessee.

Innocent people. Humans.

Lexi found you
like this before.

In the twenties, and...
And she saved you.

And you know what
I did after that?

I spent 30 years trying
to pull myself together.

To a vampire,
that's nothing.

To you? That's
half your life.

I can't give up
on you, Stefan.

Yes, you can.
It's done.

That part
of my life is done.

I don't want to see you.

I don't want
to be with you.

I just want you to go.

You ok?

Just drive.

Thank you.

Honey, your dad...

All our families,

we have beliefs that have been
passed on through generations.

And we were taught never
to stray from them.

You did.

You taught me to look at
things in a different way.

I just thought that
he was the one who got me.

He did.
He will again.

Hey, mom?

Thanks
for believing in me.

Would now be a bad time

to give you crap
about sneaking out on me?

He hates me.

My dad hates me.

Hey.

Rebekah...

It's your big brother.

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Go to hell, Nik!

Hurry up, Rebekah.

Let's go.

He'll be here
any second.

Do you want to die?

We've been found.
We need to move.

- Not without Stefan.
- Stefan's not coming.

We have to disappear.
He'll draw too much attention.

Let him go.

What did you do?

Come on. We don't have time
for one of your tantrums.

I don't want to run anymore, Nik!
All we do is run.

I want to be
with Stefan.

Fine.

Then choose.

Him or me.

That's what I thought.

Get in the truck.
Let's go.

Good-bye, Nik.

Don't pout. You knew
it wouldn't kill me.

Yeah, but I was hoping
it would hurt more.

I understand that
you're upset with me, Rebekah...

So I'm going to let that go.

Just this once.

Brought you a little
peace offering.

You can come in.

Stefan?

Now you remember.

Rebekah.

Stefan...

Hey, buddy, take a picture
of my brother and me.

I remember you.

We were friends.

We are friends.

And now the reason
you're here.

Gloria tells me

you know how to contact
the original witch.

The original witch.

What do you have
that Gloria needs?

Where's my necklace?

What did you do with it?
I never take it off!

I don't know.
I didn't touch it.

We need to find it, Nik.
Now, I want it back!

Tell me that's not
what she needs, Rebekah!

Ok. You were right.

- He was there.
- I'm always right.

Let me guess... it ended
in tears and heartbreak.

- Where are you?
- Why?

Do you want to come
rub sunscreen on my back?

I'm thinking Europe.
Italy, maybe.

Or Spain. You were always a
sucker for those lazy afternoons.

Keep guessing, Damon.
Bye-bye.

Hey, kid.

Chicago P.D.

I'm not afraid of you.

Oh, I'm not here for you.

Have you seen these two?

I've never seen those
people before in my life.

Wrap it up, boys.
We're through here.
