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

Stefan: MYSTIC FALLS...
I WAS BORN HERE.

THIS IS MY HOME.

Damon: AND MINE.
Elena: AND MINE.

FOR CENTURIES,
SUPERNATURAL CREATURES
HAVE LIVED AMONG US.

Caroline: THEY WERE
VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES,
DOPPELGANGERS...

Bonnie: WITCHES.
Klaus: AND EVEN HYBRIDS.

Stefan: AND THEN
THERE'S ELENA.
SHE'S ONE OF US NOW.

YOU ARE A VAMPIRE NOW.
YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN
THE RIGHT WAY TO BE ONE.

NOW THERE'S A HUNTER
IN TOWN, DETERMINED
TO KILL US ALL.

THERE'S MORE TO YOU
THAN MEETS THE EYE,
ISN'T THERE?

Jeremy: AND ONLY I
KNOW HIS SECRET.



YOU'RE ONE OF THE FIVE.

[WOMAN CHANTING IN LATIN]

[THUNDER]

[CHANTING CONTINUES]

[THUNDER]

[THUNDER]

Stefan: SO WHAT IS ALL THIS?

SOME PERSONAL ITEMS
THAT I SNAKED

FROM THE VAMPIRE
HUNTER'S RV.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

I'M SEARCHING
FOR A SUPERNATURAL
HANDBOOK.

YOU KNOW FOR A FACT
HE WAS SUPERNATURAL?

DEFINITELY
WASN'T NATURAL.

THE GUY MAGICALLY
APPEARS JUST AS SOMEONE



COVERED IN A TATTOO
THAT ONLY JEREMY GILBERT,
OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,

SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE.

KLAUS MENTIONED
SOMETHING ABOUT HIM
BEING ONE OF THE FIVE.

AND THEN HE KAMIKAZES
HIMSELF WITH EXPLOSIVES.

SEEM NATURAL TO YOU?
WHAT'S THE FIVE?

THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING
IS IN THE FIRST CHAPTER
OF THE HANDBOOK.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

LIZ FORBES,
MY FAVORITE SHERIFF.

WHAT?

THAT'S...CONCERNING.

KEEP ME POSTED.

WHAT, YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO TELL YOU?

I CAN'T TELL YOU.
IT'S PRIVATE.
WE'RE IN A FIGHT.

YOU'RE IN A FIGHT, I'M NOT
IN A FIGHT. I'M OVER IT.
I'VE BEEN OVER IT.

YOU'RE NOT STILL MAD
AT ME ABOUT ELENA?

YOU LET HER FEED ON YOU.
I'M ALWAYS GOING TO BE
MAD AT YOU.

BUT WE'RE NOT IN A FIGHT.

VERY WELL, THEN.

THEY DIDN'T FIND
ANY REMAINS AT
THE EXPLOSION SITE.

SO CONNOR'S STILL OUT THERE.

APPARENTLY SO.

I'M GOING TO NEED YOU
TO GET ON THIS TODAY.

I HAVE TO TAKE
ELENA TO COLLEGE.

I'M SORRY, YOU HAVE
TO DO WHAT, EXACTLY?

I'M TEACHING HER
HOW TO FEED.

SHE NEEDS TO LEARN
SNATCH, EAT, ERASE
NOW MORE THAN EVER.

WE'RE NOT IN
A FIGHT, REMEMBER?

I KNOW IT'S CRAZY,
BUT I ALMOST KILLED
MATT LAST NIGHT.

DAMON HAD
TO RIP ME OFF OF HIM

AND THEN COMPEL HIM
TO FORGET.

CALL IT DOPPELGANGER CURSE
OR WHATEVER,

BUT I CAN'T DRINK
ANIMAL BLOOD.

I CAN'T DRINK
FROM A BLOOD BAG.

I CAN ONLY DRINK
FROM THE VEIN.

A LITTLE SLOW.
ALMOST GOT YOU.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT
USING THE WOOD ONES

FOR HUNTER
DEFENSE CLASS.

HMM.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT ABOUT CAROLINE?

SHE'S A GENIUS AT SELF CONTROL.

SHE'S TOO GOOD.

SHE DOESN'T
UNDERSTAND
HOW HARD IT IS.

AND YOU, WELL,
I KNOW WHAT BEING AROUND

TOO MUCH BLOOD
DOES TO YOU, SO...

I CAN'T PUT YOU
THROUGH THAT.

HMM. SO I GUESS THAT
LEAVES DAMON, HUH?

[GRUNTS]

DON'T BE JEALOUS.
YOU KNOW I WISH
IT COULD BE YOU.

FINE. YOU WISH
IT COULD BE ME.

WE'RE CRASHING BONNIE'S TRIP
TO WHITMORE COLLEGE.

THE PROFESSOR THAT TOOK OVER

HER GRAM'S CLASSES?
HE INVITED HER.

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO'S GETTING ME
THROUGH THIS.

NO MATTER WHO TEACHES ME
HOW TO FEED.

ALL RIGHT.

[GASPS, SIGHS]

JUST BE CAREFUL, OK?

THE BLOOD, THE FEED...

IT'S EASY TO GET
CAUGHT UP IN IT.

I WILL.

I PROMISE.

WHAT'S THAT?

THE KEY
TO YOUR NEW TRUCK.

IT'S PARKED OUTSIDE,
PAID FOR,

INSURED, EVERYTHING
BUT A BIG RED BOW.

IF THAT'S YOUR IDEA
OF AN APOLOGY...

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY
GIVE IT TO ELENA.

SHE'S THE ONE YOU KILLED.

YOU'RE TRYING TOO HARD.

LAST I HEARD, YOU WERE
LEAVING TOWN--FOREVER.

WELL, I WAS.

BUT THEN I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
HOW CAN I WHEN MY SISTER,

CLEARLY SO DESPERATE
FOR LOVE AND AFFECTION,

IS LEFT HERE...

BRIBING THE HELP.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, NIK?

I THOUGHT
I WAS DEAD TO YOU.

I'VE STUMBLED UPON
SOMETHING I THINK MIGHT BE
OF INTEREST TO YOU.

DOUBT THAT.

NO? WELL, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU

THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE FIVE
STILL EXISTED?

WHAT?

YOU SEE?

AND LIKE THAT, BYGONES.

COME ON, LOVE.
WORK TO DO.

WE DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO.

THERE IS NO "WE".

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE FIVE,

AND I DON'T CARE
ABOUT YOU.

AS YOU WISH.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

YOU'RE OK WITH THIS?

IF I COULD SPELL YOU
OUT OF WANTING BLOOD,
I WOULD.

BUT I CAN'T, SO BETTER
YOU DOING THIS NOW

THAN AT FRESHMAN
ORIENTATION.

SOMETHING TELLS ME
THAT COLLEGE ISN'T
IN MY FUTURE ANYMORE.

OH, STOP WITH
THE PITY PARTY.

IF I CAN GO TO COLLEGE,
YOU CAN GO TO COLLEGE.

YOU? WENT TO COLLEGE?

SURE. PLENTY OF TIMES.

I ALWAYS HAD A THING
FOR SORORITY GIRLS.

[SCOFFS]
YOU'RE DISGUSTING.

I KNOW.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I SAY THE WORD "WITCH",

WHAT POPS INTO YOUR HEAD?

HALLOWEEN COSTUME?

VILLAIN OF A FAIRY TALE?

MAYBE AN EX-GIRLFRIEND?
WELL, WHATEVER IMAGE IT IS,

IT'S PROBABLY NOT
TANIELLE SOSO...

IS THAT HIM?

YEAH.

HE'S KIND OF...
HOT.

I'M AN ADMITTEDLY
CRAPPY PHOTOGRAPHER.

NOW, IN REALITY,

OR IN THIS REALITY,
AT LEAST,

WITCHES HAVE APPEARED
ACROSS EVERY CULTURE IN HISTORY.

THEY'RE THE ARCHITECTS
OF THE SUPERNATURAL.

RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING
THAT GOES BUMP IN THE NIGHT,

FROM GHOSTS TO VAMPIRES

TO DOPPELGANGERS...

WHAT IS THIS GUY,
WITCHIPEDIA?

[CHUCKLES]
SHH, SHUT UP.

NOW, IF YOU'RE A SKEPTIC,
YOU'D CALL THAT A COINCIDENCE.

BUT IF YOU'RE
A TRUE BELIEVER...

YOU KNOW WHAT,
THERE REALLY
ISN'T SUCH THING.

WHAT IF I'M...
A RIPPER?

YOU'RE NOT A RIPPER.
WHAT IF I AM?

WELL, THEN, PICK SOMEONE
AND WE'LL FIND OUT.

STONER GUYS
ARE NO GOOD TO GRAB.
THEY'RE TOO PARANOID

AND YOU DON'T WANT
THE EXTRA BUZZ.

NOW, SHE IS FUN-SIZED.

BUT TOO ALERT. GEEKY GIRLS
ARE INHERENTLY SUSPICIOUS

OF ANYONE WHO'S NICE TO THEM.

WHAT YOU WANT IS THE LITTLE
BLONDE, PRETTY GIRL.

SELF ABSORBED,
EASILY FLATTERED.

YOU JUST HAVE
TO SEPARATE HER
FROM THE PACK

AND MAKE YOUR MOVE.

AM I INTERRUPTING
YOU GUYS?

OR IS IT MAYBE
THE OTHER WAY
AROUND?

I WAS JUST SAYING
HOW MUCH I LOVE WITCHES.

YEAH, YOU AND ME
BOTH, BROTHER.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN,
WE SHOULD PROBABLY
TALK ABOUT

THE READINGS THAT
NONE OF YOU DID.

LOOKS LIKE I'LL HAVE
TO BEEF UP THE HYBRID
SECURITY DETAIL.

I WAS GOING
TO TAKE HIM,

BUT I FIGURED
YOU WENT THROUGH

SUCH TROUBLE
TO TRUSS HIM UP

IN YOUR RED ROOM
OF PAIN.

IT'S FROM THE INQUISITION.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
A NICE TOUCH.

WHAT'D YOU GET
OUT OF HIM?

NOT ENOUGH.

HE'S MUM ABOUT
THE COUNCIL FIRE

AND HE'S NOT SAYING ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS GREATER EVIL

WE'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE
SHIVERING OVER.

WHAT BRINGS YOU SNOOPING?

WELL, I CAN'T SAY IT
IN FRONT OF HIM.

AS I'M SURE
YOU'VE FIGURED OUT,

OUR FRIEND HERE
CAN'T BE COMPELLED.

YOU'RE FULL OF MYSTERIES,
AREN'T YOU?

I TOLD YOU,
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

THANKFULLY, I KNOW PLENTY.

SHALL WE?

SO WHAT'S WITH
THE HOME INVASION?

DAMON SAID
YOU KNEW SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS GUY.

I SHOULD HAVE
FIGURED YOU WERE
UP TO SOMETHING

WHEN YOU HEALED ELENA
FROM THE WEREWOLF POISON

WITHOUT ASKING
FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN.

I WAS FEELING BENEVOLENT.

YOU'RE NEVER
BENEVOLENT.

WHO IS THIS GUY?
WHAT'S THE FIVE?

SO MANY QUESTIONS.

IT'S A GOOD THING
I HAVE NOTHING
TO DO TODAY

EXCEPT GET ANSWERS
OUT OF YOU.

FINE.

YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE USEFUL

IN PERSUADING MY SISTER
TO COOPERATE.

THE BROTHERHOOD
OF THE FIVE

WAS A GROUP OF HIGHLY
SKILLED VAMPIRE HUNTERS.

WE CROSSED PATHS WITH THEM
IN THE TWELFTH CENTURY.

ITALY. MY SIBLINGS
AND I HAD FOLLOWED

THE NORMANS AS THEY
CONQUERED THE SOUTH.

FEEDING, TURNING PEOPLE
AS WE WENT.

THESE DEMONS
LIVE AMONG YOU.

PASSING AS HUMAN.

BUT WITH THE BLOODSHED
CAME EXPOSURE.

SO WITNESS
WITH YOUR OWN EYES...

[SCREAMING]

HE'S PUTTING ON
QUITE THE SHOW.

HE'S NOTHING.

I COULD EAT HIM FOR SPORT.

STILL, YOU SHOULD
HEED THE WARNING.

BETWEEN YOU HERE
AND KOL IN THE EAST,

YOU HAVE NOT
BEEN DISCREET.

STORIES OF THE ORIGINAL
VAMPIRES ARE SPREADING.

I WELCOME SUCH INFAMY.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED
ABOUT DISCRETION,

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD
WRANGLE OUR SISTER.

Stefan: SO THESE HUNTERS

HAVE BEEN AROUND
FOR 900 YEARS?

APPARENTLY.

WELL, OUR FRIEND
IN THE OTHER ROOM

IS THE FIRST
I'VE SEEN SINCE THEN.

KIND OF MAKES YOU WONDER
WHAT THEY'VE BEEN UP TO
ALL THESE YEARS.

AND REBEKAH HAD A THING
WITH ONE OF THEM?

OH, SHE DIDN'T JUST
HAVE A THING.

SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM.

HE TOLD HER ALL HIS SECRETS.

WHICH I WILL GLADLY
SHARE WITH YOU...

PROVIDED YOU DO
ONE THING FOR ME.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

GET REBEKAH OVER HERE.

SHE'S BEING STUBBORN.

AND HATEFUL. I NEED
TO MAKE PEACE WITH HER.

I WANT HER TO GIVE ME
SOME VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ABOUT THE HUNTER,
WHICH SHE WON'T DO

UNLESS SHE BELIEVES
WE'VE MADE UP.

AND...

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

JUST GET HER HERE
AND I'LL TELL YOU.

OH, AND STEFAN...

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS--

THAT HUNTER IN THERE

HOLDS THE ANSWER
TO ALL YOUR PRAYERS.

HEY, APRIL.

CAN I GET YOU SOME MORE WATER?
I'M GOOD.

I'M NOT JUST
SITTING HERE ALONE

LIKE THE LOSER NEW
GIRL. I'M WITH MY
FRIEND. SHE JUST--

SORRY. FAMILY DRAMA.

YOU TWO ARE FRIENDS?

IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE
I WOULD HAVE ONE?

YEAH. IT IS.

AND I'M KEEPING
THE TRUCK.

HEY, OFF LIMITS!
I HAVE DIBS.

YOU WON'T REMEMBER
ANY OF THIS.

KLAUS WANTS ME
TO FAKE PEACE WITH YOU

SO YOU'LL TALK
ABOUT THE FIVE.

YEAH, I BET.
DON'T HELP HIM.

HE'LL JUST BETRAY YOU.
IT'S WHAT HE DOES.

ALL RIGHT,
WELL, FORGET HIM.
HELP ME INSTEAD.

WHY? YOU HATE ME
MORE THAN HE DOES.

BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT HE'S UP TO.

AND PLUS I CAN GIVE
YOU THE ONE THING
THAT HE WON'T.

AND WHAT'S THAT?
A CLEAN SLATE.

I'M NOT SAYING
THAT I'M WILLING
TO FORGIVE YOU

FOR WHAT YOU DID
TO ELENA,

BUT I'M WILLING
TO SET IT ASIDE
AND START OVER.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
BECAUSE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY

NOT LEAVING TOWN ANY TIME SOON,

AND I'M JUST LOOKING
FOR A WAY WE CAN
ALL GET ALONG.

PLUS, YOU CAN'T BE TOO HAPPY
WANDERING AROUND SCHOOL

WITH NO FRIENDS.

WELL, WHAT IF I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THINKS?

WELL, I'M PRETTY SURE
THAT YOU CARE WHAT, UH,

MATT OVER THERE THINKS.

SO MAYBE I CAN
TALK TO HIM

ABOUT A CLEAN SLATE, TOO.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

SHE'S YOUNG AND HEALTHY,
SHE'LL HEAL UP LIKE A CHARM.

JUST KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL.

IT'S NOT A GAME,
DAMON.

FINE, IT'S NOT A GAME,

IT'S A HIGH-STAKES
DANGEROUS MANEUVER.

NOW, JUST GO.
JUST LIKE WE PRACTICED.

THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.

HEY! YOU'RE IN
MY ANTHRO CLASS,
RIGHT?

UH, YEAH. I GUESS SO.

I, UH,
TOTALLY SPACED

AND FORGOT TO GET
THE READING LIST.
DO YOU HAVE IT?

SURE. LET ME CHECK.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO HURT.
PLEASE DON'T SCREAM.

WHO'S THAT?

IT'S MY LITTLE SISTER.

GET OUT OF HERE.
GO BACK TO CLASS.

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

I JUST...I SAW
THE PICTURE, AND I--

EVERYBODY IS SOMEONE'S
UNCLE OR FATHER

OR CAMP COUNSELOR
OR BIBLE STUDY TEACHER.

ELENA, YOU DON'T
KNOW THESE PEOPLE.
WHY DO YOU CARE?

I CARE BECAUSE I'M STILL ME!

I STILL HAVE
THE SAME FEELINGS, DAMON.

SORRY IF THAT SPOILS
YOUR MASTER PLAN

TO TURN ME INTO
A SUPER VAMPIRE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING. ELENA'S
EDUCATING ME

ON THE IMPORTANCE
OF FEELINGS.

DID YOU TALK
TO THE PROFESSOR?

FOR A SECOND. HE FOUND
SOME STUFF OF MY GRAMS

IN HIS OFFICE
AND HE'S GOING
TO DIG IT UP FOR ME.

OH, UH, THIS.

OH, NICE.

THE ANSWER TO ALL
OF OUR PROBLEMS.

A FRAT PARTY,
DOUCHE CENTRAL.

WHICH IS WHY
YOU'LL BE EATING
VERY WELL TONIGHT.

SO WHAT SHOULD WE GO AS?

VICTIMS OR KILLERS?

[GRUNTING]

YOU FEELING
ALL RIGHT, MATE?

ARE THE SHACKLES
TOO TIGHT?

[FOOTSTEPS]

WELCOME HOME,
SISTER.

THIS IS A TRICK?

HOW DO YOU KNOW
HE'S ONE OF THE FIVE?

WHERE'S HIS
BLOODY TATTOO?

OH, THE TATTOOS
AREN'T VISIBLE

ON THIS LOT LIKE
THEY WERE ON THE LAST.

LET'S EAT.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

THANK YOU,
MY LOVELY.

I COULD KISS THE COUNCIL

FOR BURNING UP ALL
THE VERVAIN IN TOWN.

THEY MADE MY LIFE
SO MUCH EASIER.

REBEKAH, LOVE,
EAT YOUR VEGGIES.

I'M NOT EATING
TILL YOU APOLOGIZE.

FOR WHICH INDISCRETION?
THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY.

YOU BROKE MY NECK.

YOU THREW AWAY
ELENA'S BLOOD

SO I CAN'T MAKE
ANY MORE HYBRIDS.

'CAUSE YOU TOOK ME FOR GRANTED!
THAT'S WHAT

BIG BROTHERS DO,
SWEETHEART!

LET ME JUST NAME
THE MILLION OTHER PEOPLE

I'D RATHER BE HAVING DINNER
WITH RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT, FINE.

I'M SORRY.

I OFTEN FORGET HOW
DELICATE YOU ARE.

FORGIVE ME?

I'LL TAKE IT UNDER
CONSIDERATION.

OK, GOOD. AHEM.

NOW, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT REBEKAH'S HUNTER?

RIGHT. ALEXANDER.

NICE CHAP, FORGOING
THE OBVIOUS ISSUES.

HE WAS LOOKING
FOR CREATURES
OF THE NIGHT,

WHICH IS WHY WE FELT
QUITE SAFE AROUND HIM

WEARING
OUR DAYLIGHT RINGS.

I'M UNACCUSTOMED
TO SUCH LUXURY.

WELL, IT'S THE LEAST
WE COULD TO TO REPAY YOU
FOR OPENING OUR EYES

TO THE TRUTH.
WE'RE CURIOUS
TO HEAR MORE

ABOUT YOUR ORDER.

YOUR CRUSADE.

WE ARE BUT FIVE MEN.

BOUND BY FIRE
AND THE LAST BREATH

OF A DYING WITCH
TO A SINGLE CAUSE.

THE DESTRUCTION
OF ALL VAMPIRES.

AND HOW DO YOU HOPE
TO ACHIEVE THIS?

WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE WEAPON,

WHICH NO VAMPIRE CAN SURVIVE.

Stefan: SO, THAT'S
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

A WEAPON?
NOT JUST ANY WEAPON.

REBEKAH, LOVE, DON'T
GET AHEAD OF THE STORY.

HOW IS A WEAPON
THE ANSWER TO ALL
OF MY PRAYERS?

OK.

WHY DON'T WE JUST
SKIP WITH THE THEATRICS

AND GET RIGHT TO THE POINT?

NOT QUITE YET.

BECAUSE IN ORDER
TO FIND THIS WEAPON,

WE NEED TO SOLVE
THE PUZZLE,

WHICH SEEMS
TO HAVE DISAPPEARED.

WHAT PUZZLE?

THE TATTOO.

WHAT IS IT?

A MAP.

LEADING US
TO ITS TREASURE.

FAT LOT OF GOOD
A TATTOO'S GOING TO DO
IF WE CAN'T SEE IT.

WE CAN'T,
BUT SOMEONE ELSE CAN.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL
THE HYBRID TO BRING
HIM IN, LOVE?

YOU SEE, THE HUNTER
WAS SO EAGER TO GET

TO THE BOTTOM
OF HIS MYSTERY TATTOOS

THAT HE MENTIONED
THERE WAS ONLY
ONE OTHER PERSON

WHO COULD SEE THEM.

I WOULDN'T.
LUCKY FOR US,

YOUNG JEREMY HERE IS
A BIT OF AN ARTIST.

I'M NOT HELPING YOU
WITH ANYTHING.

I'M AFRAID YOU ARE.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY.

I'M FRANKIE.

UNASSUMING SERIAL KILLER.

AND THESE
ARE THE TWO
LOVELY LADIES

I JUST...RIPPERED.

WELCOME TO THE MURDER HOUSE.

BLOODY MARY'S FREE
UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

ENJOY YOURSELVES.

WELL, HATS OFF
TO THESE IDIOTS.

OH, LOOK, THERE'S
PROFESSOR CREEPY.

HIS NAME IS
PROFESSOR SHANE,
AND HE'S NOT CREEPY.

I'M GOING TO GO
TALK TO HIM.

YOU DO THAT.

INEBRIATED SLEAZEBALLS
ALL COVERED IN BLOOD.

COME ON, PICK ONE.

I THINK I FOUND ONE.

ROOFIE GUY?
MM-HMM.

NICE CHOICE.
GO GET 'EM.

OH!

[GASPS] I'M SORRY.

DRINK?
SURE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

GREAT PARTY, RIGHT?

YEAH.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO MAKE A SOUND.

NOW REMEMBER,
THE IDEA IS NOT TO KILL HIM.

ELENA.

ELENA, STEP AWAY
FROM THE LEDGE.

ELENA!

[GASPING]

LEAVE AND FORGET ABOUT THIS.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

[EXHALES]

I FEEL GOOD!

I WANT MORE.

Connor:
YOU SET ME UP
AT THE HOSPITAL.

LED ME TO A TRAP.

WHY?

YOU WERE TRYING TO HURT PEOPLE
WHO ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.

IMPORTANT TO YOU?

THAT VAMPIRE JUST
THREATENED TO KILL YOU.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW
YOU COULD SEE THE TATTOO
IF YOU'RE A SYMPATHIZER.

WHAT EXACTLY
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

'CAUSE A COUPLE DAYS
AGO, YOU SEEMED TO
HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

AND NOW YOU KNOW JACK.

WHERE DID THIS
TATTOO COME FROM?

WHY AM I THE ONLY
ONE WHO CAN SEE IT?

[SIGHS]

YEARS AGO, I MET SOMEONE
WITH A MARK.

CLAIMED HE HAD
THIS INTENSE DESIRE

TO KILL VAMPIRES.

LIKE IT WAS INGRAINED
IN HIS DNA.

TOLD ME THE SAME THING
I TOLD YOU--

IF I COULD SEE THE MARK,
I WAS A POTENTIAL.

WHO WAS HE?

JUST A GUY I SERVED
IN IRAQ WITH.

I LOST TRACK OF HIM,
AND THEN ONE DAY...

THE TATTOO JUST
SHOWED UP ON ME.

IT STARTED ON MY HAND,
BUT THE MORE VAMPIRES I KILLED,

THE MORE IT SPREAD, LIKE...

LIKE IT WAS TRYING
TO TELL ME SOMETHING.

I JUST--I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT.

Stefan: SO TELL ME MORE
ABOUT THIS TATTOO.

MY SISTER'S SUITOR
WAS UNWILLING

TO TELL US ANYTHING.

REBEKAH, HOWEVER,
WAS MORE THAN WILLING

TO...INVESTIGATE,
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

HOW DO YOU READ
THESE SYMBOLS?

THE MAP TOOK
MY BROTHERS AND I
YEARS TO TRANSLATE.

THE SWORD...

IS THE KEY
TO READING IT.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED
MY OFFER?

TO COME WITH ME
WHEN I LEAVE
TO FOLLOW THE MAP?

I HAVE.

AND I WOULD
LIKE THAT VERY MUCH.

WHAT IS THAT?

OH, THAT?

THAT...

IS A VERY
SPECIAL WEAPON.

FOR A VERY SPECIAL

KIND OF VAMPIRE.

WHEN MY BROTHERHOOD
HAS ACHIEVED ITS DESTINY,

THOSE MONSTERS
WILL CEASE TO EXIST.

UNTIL THEN,

WE HAVE THE DAGGERS.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE
THEY'RE ALL SO EVIL
THEY MUST BE PUT DOWN?

LET US NOT TALK
OF SUCH EVIL.

LET US DO THIS.

MMM. AND THIS.

AND THIS.

[GASPING]

Klaus: MY SISTER'S BOYFRIEND

THREW A SLUMBER PARTY
THAT NIGHT.

HE AND HIS BROTHERS
PUT US ALL DOWN
IN OUR SLEEP.

ELIJAH, KOL, FINN...AND ME.

HOW WAS I SUPPOSED
TO KNOW?

CHEERS. TO MY SISTER'S
UNCANNY ABILITY TO CHOOSE MEN.

I THOUGHT THE DAGGERS
DIDN'T WORK ON YOU

BECAUSE OF YOUR WEREWOLF SIDE.

THEY DON'T.

[GASPS]

WHAT HAPPENED?

ASK HIM.

ONLY, HE CANNOT ANSWER

BECAUSE I HAVE
RIPPED OUT HIS TONGUE,

ALONG WITH
THE REST OF THEM.

NIK, I HAD NO IDEA!

BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE.
YOUR ONLY FAMILY

WAS NEARLY WIPED OUT
BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY!

WHAT DID HE PROMISE YOU?

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

HE WOULD NOT
HAVE MADE A MOVE

UNLESS HE KNEW
YOU WERE VULNERABLE.

YOU TRUSTED HIM...

OVER ME!

WHAT DID HE PROMISE YOU?

NOTHING,
NIK, I SWEAR!

WHAT DID HE PROMISE YOU?!

[CRYING]
TELL ME, REBEKAH!

TELL HIM WHAT THE HUNTER
TOLD YOU THE TATTOO LEADS TO.

WHAT'S THIS GREAT WEAPON
THAT COULD BRING UPON THE END

OF THE VAMPIRE SPECIES?

A CURE.

HE SAID
THERE WAS A CURE.

THERE IS NO CURE
FOR VAMPIRISM.

I'M TELLING
THE TRUTH, STEFAN.

THEN WHY WOULDN'T YOU HAVE
SEARCHED FOR IT, FOUND IT?

BECAUSE WHEN THE HUNTERS
DREW THEIR FINAL BREATH

THAT NIGHT, THE MARKS
DISAPPEARED FROM THEIR BODY.

THE MAP WAS GONE,

THE BROTHERHOOD
OF THE FIVE EXTINCT.

FOR 900 YEARS, THERE WAS NOT
A WHISPER OF ANOTHER HUNTER

UNTIL OUR FRIEND IN THERE
SHOWED UP IN TOWN.

WELL, NOW WE HAVE THE MAP,
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?

WE DON'T DO ANYTHING.

YOU CAN'T BE TRUSTED,
LITTLE SISTER.

YOU'LL BE BLABBING
THIS SECRET TO THE FIRST BOY
WHO CALLS YOU PRETTY.

I MEAN, IT'S PATHETIC,

REALLY, ISN'T IT?
HOW SHE CONTINUES
TO HAND HER HEART

TO ANY MAN WHO SHOWS HER
A HINT OF AFFECTION.

YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE
LEARNED BY NOW

FROM THE ENDLESS CYCLE

OF DISAPPOINTMENT
AND DECEPTION!

BUT I HAVEN'T!
INSTEAD I STAY WITH YOU

AND LET YOU LEECH
EVERY MOMENT

OF HAPPINESS
FROM MY LIFE.

YOU KNOW, AT LEAST I
FAIRED BETTER THAN FINN.

KLAUS LEFT HIM DAGGERED
BECAUSE HE WAS TIRED
OF HIS JUDGMENT.

NO, FINN WAS A DULLARD.

HE'S MORE INTERESTING
LYING IN A BOX.

YOU WANT THE CURE
FOR ELENA, DON'T YOU?

SO YOU CAN GO BACK
TO MASS PRODUCING
YOUR HYBRIDS.

THAT'S WHY
YOU BROUGHT STEFAN IN,

'CAUSE YOU KNEW HE'D
HELP YOU EVEN THOUGH

HE HATES YOUR GUTS.
YOU KNOW WHAT,

YOU CAN SHOVE YOUR CURE.

WELL, I HOPE YOU GOT
WHAT YOU WANTED OUT OF HER

BEFORE YOU CHASED HER OFF.

SHE NEVER WOULD
HAVE TOLD ME WHAT
I NEEDED TO KNOW.

BUT SHE'LL TELL YOU.

WHAT DO YOU NEED ME
TO FIND OUT?

THE MAP IS USELESS
WITHOUT THE TOOL
TO DECIPHER IT.

THE SWORD.

SHE KNOWS
WHERE IT IS.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO
GET HER TO TELL YOU.

YOU HAVE A CHANCE
TO SAVE ELENA

FROM THE VERY THING
THAT'S GOING
TO DESTROY HER.

YOU CAN CALL IT
A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
IF YOU LIKE.

BUT YOU KNOW YOU WON'T
WALK AWAY FROM IT.

I PUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S
STUFF AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.

THERE WERE A COUPLE
FAMILY PHOTOS

AND A FIRST EDITION
STEPHEN KING.

DID YOU KNOW
SHE LIKED "CUJO"?

THIS IS AMAZING.

IT'S ALL STUFF
YOU PICKED UP
ON YOUR TRAVELS?

YEAH.

I, UH, I DO THIS THING.

IT'S LIKE A ONE MAN
TRAVELING OCCULT EXHIBIT
TO SMALL TOWNS.

IT FUNDS MY CRAZY
INDIANA JONES ADVENTURES.

DO YOU PRACTICE?

LIKE SHE DID?

I'M A TRUE BELIEVER.
JUST DON'T TELL ANYONE.

NO, I DON'T PRACTICE.
NOT ANYMORE.

I LOST CONTROL OF MYSELF
AND THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES.

WITCHES LOVE
THEIR CONSEQUENCES,
DON'T THEY?

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS

TO PRACTICE MAGIC.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

ARE YOU...

NO. NO, NO, NO.

I'M JUST, UH,

I'M JUST A GUY
WITH A VERY OPEN MIND

WHO HAS SEEN A LOT OF THINGS.

AND I'M WILLING
TO TEST SOME OF THEM OUT.

IF YOU ARE.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

DON'T SCREAM.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO HURT.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[GASPING]

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

I HAVE
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

Klaus: NICE LINES.

NOW, IF YOU COULD
JUST HURRY IT UP
A LITTLE BIT.

I'M DONE.

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S THE TATTOO.

I'VE SEEN THE TATTOO,
YOU REPUGNANT PUNK.

THERE'S MORE TO IT.
THAT'S ALL OF IT.

HE SAID EVERY TIME
HE KILLS A VAMPIRE,
IT SPREADS.

AHH!

NATE!

TELL THE GIRL
TO TAKE JEREMY HOME.

KEEP THIS ONE ALIVE
AT ALL COSTS.

[DOOR CLOSES]

LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT
TOO MUCH LEASH.

YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE,
SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL

STOP THE RACKET.

AAHH!

YOU'RE LUCKY
I CAN'T KILL YOU.

FREAK.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[GASPING]

WHO AM I?
WHY AM I ACTING LIKE THIS?

BECAUSE YOU
LISTENED TO DAMON

AND DAMON MAKES
EVERYTHING HE WANTS

SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA.

I SHOULD BE HERE WITH STEFAN.

I SHOULDN'T
BE HERE WITH HIM.

I SHOULD BE GOING
THROUGH ALL THIS WITH STEFAN.

[DAMON CLEARS THROAT]

I'M GUESSING
WE SHOULD HIT THE ROAD.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO HELP HER,

AND YOU LET HER GET
COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.

SHE'S NOT OUT
OF CONTROL,
SHE WAS HAVING FUN.

THIS ISN'T FUN.
SHE'S ACTING LIKE
A DIFFERENT PERSON!

SHE IS A DIFFERENT
PERSON! SHE'S A VAMPIRE.

WE'RE A PREDATORY SPECIES.
WE ENJOY THE HUNT,

THE FEED, AND THE KILL.
AND WHEN THE GUILT
GETS TOO BAD,

WE SWITCH OFF
OUR HUMANITY
AND WE REVEL IN IT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
HER TO BE LIKE YOU?

SHE ALREADY IS LIKE ME.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT

MAKES ME ABLE
TO DRINK MY FILL

AND LEAVE SOMEONE
BREATHING AND NOT
RIP MY HEAD OFF

LIKE MY BROTHER,
IS THAT I CAN
REVEL IN IT.

I CAN MAKE IT FUN.

[DOOR SLAMS]

I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

I'M SORRY. I KNOW
YOU WANTED MY HELP.

HE JUST...
MAKES ME SO ANGRY.

NO ONE DESERVES
TO BE TREATED
THAT WAY.

I WANTED IT BACK THEN.

THE CURE.

I WAS WILLING
TO LEAVE BEHIND
MY FAMILY FOR IT.

WOULD YOU TAKE IT
IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE?

OR IS IT JUST FOR ELENA?

PART OF ME WISHES THAT
SHE AND I CAN HAVE

AN ETERNITY TOGETHER.

BUT DAMON'S RIGHT.

THERE'S NOT
A SINGLE VAMPIRE

WHO HASN'T KILLED A HUMAN.

ELENA WILL KILL.

AND THEN THERE
WILL BE THE PAIN,

AND THE GUILT,
AND THEN...

THE HUMANITY SWITCH.

ELENA,
SHE'S DRIVEN BY LOVE.

BY COMPASSION.

WHEN SHE TURNS OFF
HER HUMANITY,

THEN I DON'T THINK
WE'LL EVER GET HER BACK.

SO I'D DO ANYTHING
TO SAVE HER.

I ENVY THAT.

YOU AND ELENA.

I ENVY THE LOVE YOU HAVE.

I REALLY DID BELIEVE ALEX

WHEN HE SAID HE LOVED ME.

HE PROMISED WE'D BE MARRIED.

WE EVEN PICKED OUT A CHURCH.

SAN VITTORE IN BRIENNO.

I KNOW YOU WANT
MY HELP, STEFAN.

BUT I JUST CAN'T DO ANYTHING

THAT LETS MY BROTHER
GET WHAT HE WANTS.

I NEVER DID
ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

IF IT MEANT THAT I GOT
TO BE WITH HER...

HAVE CHILDREN,

GROW OLD WITH HER...

IF IT MEANT
THAT WE'D DIE TOGETHER,

BE BURIED TOGETHER...

THEN, YES.

I'D TAKE THE CURE.

I BURIED HIM.

EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING.

I LAID HIM TO REST
IN THE PLACE WHERE
WE WOULD BE MARRIED.

WHAT KIND OF HOPELESS FOOL
DOES THAT?

OHH.

BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED
TO KNOW, ISN'T IT?

BECAUSE I BURIED HIM
WITH HIS SWORD.

I'M SORRY, LITTLE SISTER,
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU REALLY ARE
A HOPELESS FOOL.

I'M SORRY, REBEKAH.

GO RIGHT AHEAD.

LAUGH AT THE GIRL
WHO LOVED TOO EASILY.

BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE LIVED
MY LIFE THAN YOURS, NIK.

NO ONE WILL EVER SIT AROUND
THE TABLE TELLING STORIES

ABOUT A MAN WHO COULDN'T LOVE.

DO IT.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE

AND DO IT, YOU COWARD!

DO IT!

I HAVE A PLANE WAITING.

I'LL GET THE SWORD.

MY HYBRIDS WILL KEEP
AN EYE ON CONNOR.

YOU PUT REBEKAH
SOMEWHERE NO ONE
WILL FIND HER

AND MAKE SURE JEREMY
FORGETS EVERYTHING
HE HEARD TODAY.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

NO ONE MUST KNOW
ABOUT THE CURE,
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

NOT DAMON, NOT ELENA.

IF THIS GETS OUT,
IT COULD MEAN
ALL OUR DEATHS.

SO IF YOU TELL ANYONE,

I'LL ERASE EACH
AND EVERY MEMORY
FROM ALL OF YOU.

I WON'T SAY ANYTHING.

IT'S JUST YOU AND ME
IN THIS, STEFAN.

SOME SECRETS
ARE STRONGER
THAN FAMILY.

WELL THEN.

GOOD NIGHT.

DAMON...

I'M SORRY.

THINGS GOT A LITTLE HEATED
AT THE PARTY,

AND...

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
LET THAT HAPPEN.

IT'S JUST THAT I--
I FEEL LIKE--

WHAT DO YOU FEEL, ELENA?

WHEN YOU TELL ME
WHAT A VAMPIRE SHOULD BE,

DEEP DOWN, I BELIEVE YOU.

I THINK THAT YOU'RE RIGHT,
AND I--I HATE THAT FEELING.

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE...

YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE LIKE ME.

[EXHALES]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY.

HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

JUST HANGING OUT
WITH JEREMY.

WE HAD A COUPLE THINGS
TO TALK ABOUT.

ANY NEWS
ON THE HUNTER?

NO. NO, NOTHING NEW.

WELL, THEN TODAY
WAS A BUST.

SHE'S ALL YOURS.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

SO, UH...

WHAT HAPPENED?

I LEARNED HOW TO FEED

WITHOUT HURTING SOMEONE.

IT WAS AWFUL.

YOU WERE RIGHT, I...
GOT CAUGHT UP IN IT.

AH, IT'LL GET EASIER.

BUT I DON'T WANT IT
TO GET EASIER.

I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS.

STEFAN, I'M...

FEELING THINGS
THAT I DON'T--

I DON'T WANT TO FEEL,
AND I'M BECOMING SOMEONE

THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE.

I DON'T THINK I'M GOING
TO SURVIVE THIS.

HEY. YES, YOU WILL.

LISTEN.
NO.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

YOU JUST HAVE
TO HOLD ON.

YEAH, I GOT IT.
I'LL KEEP HIM
FAT AND HAPPY.

YOU SHOULD SEND TWO
MORE FOR PROTECTION.

MAKE THAT THREE.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE
IN MYSTIC FALLS
KILLING VAMPIRES?

WHY THE HELL
DID YOU SEND ME THERE?
