The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 5, Episode 1 - I Know What You Did Last Summer - full transcript

As the fifth season opens, Elena, after a passionate summer with Damon, heads to college nearby with Caroline as her roommate. Plus, a terrifying appearance by Silas (PAUL WESLEY).

Previously on
"The Vampire Diaries"...

I'm Elena.
I'm Stefan.

Love brought me to Mystic Falls.

Love drove me away.

I am not sorry that I am
in love with you, Damon.

We've all made sacrifices.

Phasmatos, raverus
un animun.

I did a spell that
brought you back.

You can see ghosts.
We can talk.

No, you can't
be dead.

Uhh!



Have a nice
human life, Katherine.

But our greatest threat
is still out there.

Silas.
Hello, my shadow self.

Ooh!
Uhh!

And he looks just...like...me.

Hey, Bonnie.

How is the summer almost over,

and yet I feel like
I got nothing done?

Sounds like you're having fun

traveling with your mom.

I still don't know how
I'm supposed to do this

whole college thing without you.

And Caroline agrees.

She spent the summer designing
the color palette



for her dorm room
while Tyler's been away

helping some wolf pack
in Tennessee.

Don't worry.
I already

sent them your
application, Tyler.

All you have
to do is

register for classes
and show up.

Matt and Rebekah
have been sending postcards.

I think that they're in
Amsterdam now, or was it Prague?

I can't keep track.
And honestly,

I'm not sure I really want to.

Chci te misto.

Anyway,
I can't wait to see you.

When do you get back?
Love, Elena.

Dear Elena.

Wait. Don't
start with "dear."

It's bad enough
you're dead.

Now you're
a control freak?

I'm just saying.
People don't say "dear" anymore.

Fine. How about
"hey, Elena, what's up?"?

Thank you.

Hey, Elena.

What's up?

You guys have no idea
how much I miss you.

I've been e-mailing with Jeremy.

He says it's been surreal
to be alive. Again.

Hey, um, sor--
I thought you left.

I did.
Uh, 5 hours ago.

Well, there's--
there's pizza in the fr--

If Katherine ingesting
the only cure on this earth

and having to live as a human
isn't justice...

I don't know what is.

I miss you guys. I'm glad
you're having a great summer.

P.S. Have you heard from Stefan?

You ok?

Yeah. I've just got
this weird feeling,

like something bad's
about to happen.

Well, it is.
You're leaving tomorrow.

You're trading all this
for communal showers

and a meal plan.

Can't you just be
a normal boyfriend

and support me as
I attempt to have

a normal
college experience?

I'd rather ply you
with champagne

and spend the night
convincing you to stay.

Hmm.

There were
issues at home.

Ever since I lost
my parents and my aunt,

I've been acting out.

Drugs, drinking.
I was looking for attention,

so, I lit my house on fire
and faked my own death.

Really stress
the drug thing,

and I'd definitely say
that the fire was an accident,

because there's crazy
and then there's...

Well...Me.

Or I could just not go back,

considering my school
already had

a memorial for me.

Caroline just pulled up.

I--I can't leave.
I should stay

and at least
wait until

Jeremy settles
into school.

You're leaving.
You're going to college.

You're gonna drink cheap beer
and you're gonna protest

things you don't care about.

And I am gonna
take care of your little brother.

Trust me. You have nothing
to worry about.

Ok, well, at least

Whitmore is only
a few hours away,

so, if there's anything

you need, Jer,
just call me.

Hey, see you on laundry day.
Ahh.

So, how do you think
this whole

long-distance thing
is gonna work?

Well, I personally plan on
forgetting about you

the second you walk
out the door.

I love you.

And I love you.

All right.

Off you go.

Yeah, no.
We're not doing this.

Go to school.

You're
dreaming about Stefan?

They're not dreams.
It's more of a feeling.

Maybe I should call him.

So we can hear how
happy you are with Damon?

Absolutely not.

He'll call you
when he's ready.

So, I should just
live with this

nagging pit
in my stomach?

Ok, Elena, that pit
is called guilt.

You feel terrible because
you broke Stefan's heart,

and that nagging feeling
is your brain

waking up to tell
you that you've made

a horrible yet completely
reversible mistake.

Nice try. Besides,
Stefan and I

left things in
a good place.

It doesn't mean he hasn't
been thinking about you

shacking up with his brother
all summer long.

Hello. Mom ears.
Still here.

We're in college,
Caroline.

We actually made it.
We're here.

We're all
here together.

You brought
a Panini press?

Small appliances
by the fridge.

Ok. That's
the last one.

All right.
Give me a good-bye hug

before I change
my mind

and drag you home
with me.

Oh. You can call as much
as you want, you know?

Mom, I'll be fine.

Come here.

This is where
your dad fell in love

with medicine, you know?

He would be really proud
to see you here.

Thank you.

Ok, go!
Before I change my mind

and make you stay.

I'm going.
I'm going. I love you.

Bye, girls.

So, roomie, I think
we should drink to something.

I couldn't
agree more.

Roomie.
Ha ha!

To us, and college,
and being functional vampires.

To the next chapter
of our life.

Ha ha!

Hi!

Uh, who are you?

I'm Megan.
Your roommate.

Caroline says, "get your ass
to Whitmore, Bonnie.

We need you."

Tell her I'm at
the Grand Canyon.

You realize you're
just postponing

the inevitable, right?

What happens when
your dad finds out

you've been dead
all summer?

How many postcards
have I sent him?

How many times
has he called?

I've done enough.
He's clearly not missing me.

What about Elena?

I just saw her
at college.

She seemed
genuinely happy.

I am not taking
that away from her.

We're lucky, jer.

How many people die
and still get

to talk to their
best friends?

How many best friends
can't feel each other?

I should get going. The freak
who faked his own death

can't also be late
for math.

Wait a minute.
How did that happen?

There must have been
a mix-up at the housing office.

Compulsion. It's the ultimate
unwanted roommate repellent.

That's exactly
what Caroline said.

Right. So, then just compel
her ass out the door.

Damon, what's the point
in going to college

if we're just
gonna recreate

what happened
in Mystic Falls?

Look at you,
giving it the old college try.

Did Jeremy get
to school ok?

Yup. Showered, groomed,

even cut the crust off
of his pb&j myself.

So, what you're
saying is that

me being here,
you being there,

this could
actually work.

Exactly. Heh.
Listen, I gotta...Go.

It's been a long
summer, Damon.

Katherine.

5-star restaurants in Paris

to tapping kegs in a park.

Tragic.

I thought we said
no strings.

Who said
there were strings?

Weren't you
leaving town?

I thought I'd give you
one last chance

to come with me.

I have to work.
I'm back in the real world now.

I need a paycheck.

Great. Maybe you could
replace those earrings

that street rat Nadia
stole in Prague.

Those earrings
don't bring you back to life.

How am I gonna
explain to Jeremy

that she stole his
Gilbert ring?

Tell him you had
a threesome.

He'll understand.

Don't call.
Don't write.

And whatever you do,
don't you dare miss me.

Hey. Look who's back.

Look who's, uh,
eating her feelings.

Yeah. I just dropped
the girls off at Whitmore.

Ah.
Join me as I drown my sorrow

in comfort food.

Ahh.

What are you doing?

I'm outing myself
as not-Stefan.

Obviously.
Don't be afraid.

Don't move.

What's happening?

We've met before,
actually,

when I was appearing
as your daughter?

To bash
your head in?

Does that ring
any bells?

Silas.

Indeed.

I am a 2,000-
year-old immortal

that Caroline
and her friends

thought they
got rid of.

Are you appearing
to me as Stefan?

Well, yes and no.

This is my
true form.

Stefan is
my doppelganger.

You're confused.
I know that

because I can read
your thoughts.

It's understandable.
I mean, I've been

a little
cryptic lately.

What's with the knife?

Most vampires go
straight for the neck.

Oh, please, Liz.
I came first.

Vampires are
nothing more than

a disgusting
perversion of me.

I'm unkillable,
I'm immortal,

and I'm psychic,
and to function,

I need human blood,

but don't ever
call me a vampire.

Cheers.

Ahh.

Unfortunately,
I can see

that you can't
help me find

what I'm
looking for, so,

all you need to
remember, Liz...

Is that Stefan
stopped by to say hello.

Call your friends, Stefan.

Let them know you're ok.

Will do, Sheriff.

So, your current
boyfriend Damien--

Damon.
Is your ex's brother.

Stefan.
And you and Stefan are friends

but 3 months ago,
he left without saying good-bye?

Do you think I
should call him?

No way
absolutely not.

Do you have
a boyfriend, Caroline?

I do.
His name's Tyler.

He had to miss
move-in day, but

he'll be here for
the first day of classes.

Assuming he registers,
and picks a dorm, and buys books.

Speaking of minding
one's own business,

let's talk roommate
ground rules.

Privacy is very
important to me.

Same here.

I have
low blood sugar.

My diet's finicky,
so, keep your paws off my stuff.

We'll split up
the shelves.

And if I suddenly
get up to leave

or disappear
for a while,

don't follow me
or look for me.

Ok. Sounds good.

Ha! Great.
Then we agree on everything.

Excuse me, ladies.

Party at Whitmore House tonight.

We'll be there.

I hope so.

I love college.

Look who rose
from the dead.

Nice phone.
Does it ever ring?

You're gonna have to
cut me off soon.

My tolerance is
a joke now.

It's just so...
Glorious.

You're miserable.

Please.
I'm Katherine Pierce.

I'm a survivor.

You're a liar.

Your hair is messed up.
Your nails have chipped.

You're a sad, miserable
human being,

and you want me
to turn you. So, here.

Go ahead.
Drink up.

I'll kill you.
You'll bite the mailman

and you'll be
a vampire again.

Go ahead.
Come on.

I can't, ok?

No one's ever taken
the cure before.

If I die, there's
a good chance

I may never wake up.

And that would
be tragic.

And deep down,
in that

mushy-gushy
Elena-loving heart,

there's a part
of you

that doesn't
want me to die.

What are you doing
here, Katherine?

Salvatore residence.

Hello,
Principal Weber.

This is Elena.

Oh, dear.

We'll find him.

So, Jeremy's
been expelled.

Elena will be cool
with that, right?

When I get back here,
you're going.

Wait, Damon.
There's someone chasing me.

Then run.
Run far away.

Damon, you
don't understand.

I have
enemies everywhere.

What happens when word
gets out that I am a human?

I can't
protect myself.

I'm weak.
And I'm slow.

Do you have any idea
what it's like to run in heels?

I have blisters,
Damon.

Please, just...
Help me.

Wish I could say
it gets better.

The answer's
no, Damon.

Why?

So you can
keep dying

and coming back
to life?

You felt nothing
but sheer agony for 3 months.

You hallucinate
conversations

with me to have
something to do.

Just turn off
that pesky humanity switch.

It won't take
the pain away.

Yeah, but
it'll turn off your misery.

Your fear.
Your hopelessness.

And then what, huh?

Let's just say that
you actually notice I'm gone.

Let's say I get
out of this.

What good is it if
I'm a monster again?

How is that better
than any of this?

Did you notice
how Megan's juicer

takes up all the small
appliance space?

She has an entire drawer
dedicated to organic linen.

What happened
to privacy?

Maybe if she didn't
take such long showers,

I wouldn't have time
to go through her stuff.

How are you ok
with a third roommate?

Because we're trying
to be functional.

And being functional
means we need friends.

We also need
personal space.

I mean, what if we
suddenly get a craving

and I want to eat her?

Or our blood bags go bad

because we can't store
them in the mini-fridge?

And what the
hell is protein water?

You know what?
Maybe if I drink it all,

she'll want to move out.

Caroline, no--

Vervain.

What's going on?

Are you ok?

Yeah, she's--
she's fine.

What happened?

Water just went
down the wrong pipe.

I'm ok, really.

I shouldn't have
touched your stuff.

I'm--I'm
really sorry.

It's fine.
Just sounded like

someone was dying
out here.

Ah. Well,
I'm glad you're ok.

She knows who we are.

She drinks
vervain water.

That doesn't mean that
she knows about us.

Seriously? We share a bathroom
with this girl.

What if she's a hunter

and she stakes us when
we're in the shower?

Or she steals our
daylight rings while we're asleep

and then we burst into flames
when the sun comes up?

Don't you think that
if she was a hunter,

we'd be dead by now?

I think we should
lock her up.

You know, let the Vervain
get out of her system,

and then we compel her
to forget about us.

Caroline, I'm not
kidnapping our roommate.

The best way to convince
her that we're normal

is to act normal.

Do normal, human,
freshman-y stuff.

Such as?

Hey,
I remember you.

Hey. Flyer guy.

Jesse,
technically, but

"flyer guy"
works too.

I'm Elena.
This is Caroline.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

You can't
be nice to the guy?

I'm with Tyler.

Are you?
Because he hasn't called.

From the mountains
of Appalachia?

I'm just saying I don't want you
to get your hopes up

thinking that
he's coming

when he hasn't really
shown much interest.

Did you tell Damon
that you're having

dreams about Stefan?

See? No relationship
is perfect.

What the hell?

Someone must own
this place.

We have to be
invited in.

Hey. I was wondering
if you guys were gonna make it.

You guys
going in or...

Go ahead.

Why are you guys
just standing there?

We were just...
Caroline?

Waiting for someone.

So...

Right. Well,
I'm gonna go hang.

Like I said,
she knows.

One day. One day where
you don't screw it up.

Leave me alone, Damon.

You're lucky you didn't
put one of those idiots

in ICU.

Says the guy
that once killed me.

Yes. In the privacy
of your own home,

away from prying eyes,

unlike you,
who went all hunter

in the middle of
a hallway.

You got expelled,
genius.

Does that mean I don't
have to go back to school?

I compelled Principal Weber
into a very generous

3-day suspension.

Elena does not need
to know about this.

Finish eating.
Meet me outside.

Hello, Damon.

Stefan.
Welcome home.

Thanks.

Hey. Megan.
It's Elena.

Just calling to let you
know why we left,

so, call me when you
get a chance. Bye.

Ok. It's settled.
When she leaves, we grab her.

Or we could just
let her know

that you weren't
feeling well.

Elena, she saw us
stuck at the threshold.

We might as well have
flashed her our fangs.

There's no way that out
of the thousands of freshmen

we were randomly paired

with someone who knows
about vampires.

Maybe it wasn't random.

Hey, Megan.

Elena,
you have to help me.

He's chasing me!
Megan, who's chasing you?

Help me!
Oh, my God...

We can't come inside.
The line's too long.

If you come out--
where are you?

Elena,
please help me!

Megan,
can you hear me?

Get outside and we can help you.

Oh, my God.

Who
did this to her?

This was a vampire.

So look, I get
why you haven't

called me back
all summer.

I wouldn't call me
back, either.

You mean because
you stole my girlfriend?

I'm over it.

Cheers.

Katherine's living
at chateau Salvatore.

How do you know that?

Because I can
read your mind.

Kidding buddy.
Katherine called me first.

Remember? It's always
been me first.

Right.

Hey, Jeremy,
looking good, man.

Hey, Stefan.
Glad you're back.

Yeah. Yeah.

All right, I'll
see you at home.

Great.

Something's wrong.
When he touched me,

I felt a chill
where my tattoo was.

What are you
talking about?

Right before I died,
Silas grabbed me

and I felt
the same thing.

Silas is gone.
Bonnie turned him into

a big piece of rock,
remember?

I died.

Jeremy, I bound
the magic

that
took down Silas.

When I died,
the spell must have broken.

He's free.

That was Silas.

That's impossible.

I'm a hunter.

Our whole reason
for existing

is to kill him.

I know what I'm
feeling, Damon.

That--that was Silas.

I just watched him walk
through a crowd of people

that saw Stefan.

There's no way
he could fool that many

people at once.

He's psychic but
no one's that psychic.

What did he want?

Why are you in my
brother's bathtub?

Why aren't you?

I will say that's
a tempting offer.

Mm. He flirts.

I like elenaless Stefan.

You know, human
looks better on you

than I would've
guessed, Katherine.

I think you just accidentally
gave me a compliment.

No, I mean it.

You sitting here all
weak and vulnerable.

It works.

Time for a field trip.

Uhh. Uhh.

Uhh!

Get her out of here.

Don't tell me
where you're going.

God, you're slow.

Guess vamp speed
came with the upgrade.

Get out of my way
and give me Katherine.

First drop
the Stefan look.

What?

What is happening?
Our roommate is dead,

there's a vampire
at the party.

We don't know
what she knew

or who she told.

We should
get out of here.

Caroline. I left that message
in her voicemail.

Don't worry.
I took her phone.

You what?

Hey, girls?
I'm Diane Freeman,

head of campus security.

Are you ok?

I mean, I think so.

I understand Megan
was your roommate.

I'm so sorry you had
to find her like this.

Do they know
what happened?

We found a note.

Apparently, she was struggling
with severe depression.

Wait. What do you mean
you found a note?

Your roommate
took her own life.

You think this
was a suicide?

We're convinced
it was a suicide,

but we can't seem
to find her cell phone.

Have you seen it?

No.

Ok. If it turns up,
let us know?

What is going on?

If I have to hear the word
"doppelganger" one more time,

I think I'm gonna actually
have to learn how to spell it.

You say you don't
believe me

and yet your mind
is spinning

at the possibility.

"A," get out of my head.

"B," I think I'd know
if my little brother

had an evil twin.

Oh, we're not twins.

See, when I became
truly immortal,

nature retaliated

by creating
a version of me

that was killable.

It's called
a shadow self.

Well, whatever you are,
your plan didn't work.

Cure's gone. Now, what
do you want with Katherine?

I could tell you, but

wouldn't it be
so much more fun

if it were
a surprise?

You're not getting her.

Damon, how well do you
know your brother?

Do you really think
he would leave town

for 3 months without
so much as a phone call

so you could live
happily ever after

with the love
of his life?

Or did you just
delude yourself

into thinking
it would be that easy?

Where's Stefan?
He's suffering.

Like I suffered.

So, call the hunter.
Bring me Katherine.

And then I will tell you
where your little brother is.

Where are we going?

Are you deaf?

I said where are we going?

Hey.

How far did you get?

You said
not to tell you.

You picked now
to listen to me?

We just passed
old Miller Road.

Good. Turn around.
Bring her back.

What? No.

What are you doing?
Jeremy, stop.

You can't take me
back there, Jeremy.

Damon wouldn't
just hand me over.

Silas clearly
got in his head.

Shut up, Katherine.

Hey, what the hell?

Hmm.

Ooh. Your thoughts
are churning.

It's like a spool
of pink taffy.

It's very messy
but very fun to watch.

Anyone ever tell you
that's creepy?

You're worried.

Cameron's not answering
the phone.

They should
be back by now.

You think something's
very wrong.

There you go, Mayor.

This one's
on the house.

Thank you, Matt.

So, when's Bonnie
coming back?

Well, I'm not sure,

but if you talk to her,

tell her I said hi, ok?

Thanks for the beer.
You're welcome.

No way.

Nadia?

You remember me.

Yeah. I remember you.

You got Rebekah and me
drunk and robbed us.

But it was fun
until then, no?

How did you know
how to find me?

Let's skip the how
and get to the why.

This wasn't
mine to take.

You traveled 4,000 miles
to give me back a ring?

Hey, if you don't want it--
No.

I want it.

Looks better
on you, anyway.

Jaryakat a zem.

Daryeet acza.

Hey, Megan, it's Elena.

Just calling to let you know...

Delete.

Someone's been
in here.

Megan's tablet's gone.

Along with her so-called
suicide note?

Can I see the phone
for a second?

It just doesn't
make any sense.

First the roommate
we're not supposed to have

might know about vampires,

and then happens to be
killed by a vampire

and now the school's
covering it up?

Seriously,
who is this girl?

Whatever's going on,
it's not just about our roommate.

It's about me.

That's Megan.

With my dad.

Hey.

Jeremy, hold on.

Hey, I know
you can hear me.

Jeremy.

Jeremy. Aah!

Open your eyes, jer.

You do not get to die on me.
You hear me?

I'm supposed to be
taking care of you, you little punk.

Wake up.
I'll kill you myself. Uhh.

Katherine is gone.

Oh.

I don't care.

Hey, Caroline, look.

I put a lot of thought into this

and decided to defer
school for now.

This werewolf pack I'm helping,
they need me.

I know it's lame
to do this over the phone,

but I figure this way's harder
for you to kill me.

I'm really, really sorry, care,
but this is important.

You ok?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Sorry, Caroline.

I'm really glad
that you're here.

I'm really glad
you're here, too.

You're
thinking about it.

Flip the switch, brother.

Put yourself
out of this misery, please.

Did you forget
how long it took me

to come back last time?

Everything I lost
in the process?

You don't deserve
this, Stefan.

You did the right
thing--you walked away.

You let us be happy,
and this is what you get in return?

How is that fair?

Hey.

Just turn it off.

Turn it off.

Wait. Stay with me,
Stefan.

What are you
doing here?

I know
this is torture,

but stay with me.

Your humanity is
the one thing

that makes you
who you are.

Don't let go.

Please, Stefan.

For me.

Hey, sorry it took
so long to call you back.

Car trouble.

What happened?

Well, some idiot
broke the window.

Based on your voicemail,
it sounds like

your day sucked
worse than mine.

You all right?
Do you want to come home?

I can't.

Especially if my dad's
connected to this somehow.

I need to know why.

Yeah, it's probably
for the best.

That'll give me more bonding time
with your brother.

I love you, Damon.

Good night.

Oof.

You didn't tell her
Silas was here.

Nor did I tell her
Stefan's missing,

Katherine's in town,
or you got expelled.

So, you lied.

No. I withheld
a bit of the truth

so that Elena wouldn't
drop everything

and come running home
to help.

I'll figure
all this out.

I hope everyone
enjoyed the party.

It is--it is truly great to have
an end-of-summer tradition.

My daughter has her own
end-of-summer tradition

of overindulging
in the cotton candy.

And now she's off
traveling the world

and sending
her old man postcards

from all her great adventures.

Family is one of
our core values

here in Mystic Falls.

It's what this
block party celebrates.

Family as community--Stefan.

Do you mind if
I say a few words?

Maybe when
we're done here, ok?

I'll take it
from here, mayor.

Oh, my God.

You're probably wondering
how I did that.

It's pretty basic
mind control.

And until now, it's been
fairly limited

to one person
at a time.

But this summer,
I consumed

an immeasurable
amount of blood.

And I felt myself getting
stronger and stronger every day.

And I started
to wonder,

what are the limits
to my powers?

How many people can I influence?
Two? 10?

An entire
town square?

Everyone stop talking.

That worked.

Now let's try this.

No one make a sound
or move a muscle.

Now that I have
your attention,

I need a favor.

I need you
to find someone.

You all know
Elena Gilbert.

Well, the girl that
I'm looking for

looks exactly like her.
