The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 5, Episode 13 - Total Eclipse of the Heart - full transcript

Hoping to help everyone move past recent traumatic events, Caroline convinces Elena and Bonnie to attend Whitmore College's "Bitter Ball" for broken-hearted students. Bonnie is intrigued ...

Previously
on "the vampire diaries"...

You have the ability
to keep living

Inside someone
else's body.

Talk to me.
Did it work?

Of course it worked.
I'm katherine pierce.

I'm diane freeman,
head of campus security.

Your roommate took
her own life.

So tell me. Now that
you've slept with klaus,

How was it?

Oh, my god!

Mia: Katherine pierce has
permanent control



Of elena gilbert's body.

We need to talk.

You are the good,

And I need a little
good in my life.

I'm sorry, damon.

We're over.

We've been
waiting for you.

Does elena know
that you're here?

Elena thinks
I'm a monster.

She's right.

Aah!

Now that's
the damon salvatore
I remember.

[music playing]

Katherine, voice-over:
Dear diary, I love my life.



Seriously, becoming
elena gilbert is

The best thing that
has ever happened to me.

I finally have everything
I ever wanted.

I'm young,

Healthy,

Gorgeous.

Everyone loves me,

But best of all,
I'm a vampire again,

So rest in peace, elena.

Thanks for giving me
your perfect life,

And now that I've corrected
the single worst decision

You ever made--falling in love
with damon salvatore--

I'm gonna win back
the one thing

I've always wanted.

No more moping about life's
little failures

And no more dabbling
in the dark arts

Of boyfriends past.

This is a fresh start.

Couldn't agree more.

I happen to love
fresh starts.

Um, I haven't been
moping or dabbling.

No one likes
a bragger, bonnie.

Hey. Do you mind
if I share?

Great. Thanks.
Appreciate it.

Today is the dawning
of a new era.

This is stage one
in our metamorphosis

Into the land
of the brave,

The free,
and the single.

Bonnie's not single.

Bonnie's best
friends are single,

Which makes her
single adjacent.

So she can be
our wingwoman.

"whitmore's annual
bitter ball,

"a night to celebrate
broken hearts,

Jilted lovers,
and bitter singles."

This is our fresh start?

No. This is our
purge, our cleanse.

This is where we
rid ourselves

From the baggage
better known

As our tragic
and mortifying
first semester.

I'll drink to that.

Bonnie!

Bonnie, you in?

Yeah. Yeah.
That sounds like fun.

Hey. Sorry
about the mess.

I had some company,

And things got
a little out
of hand.

You want to tell me
what the hell's going on

Out in the driveway?

Ah. I let enzo
drive last night.

He is a little
out of practice.

Almost ended up
in the damn foyer.

Huh.

Oh. You mean aaron.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well,
last night,

We hunted him down,

And I ripped
his throat out.

Yeah. I just figured
it's time

To shove the last
branch

Of the whitmore
family tree

Into the...

Wood chipper.

So elena breaks up
with you,

And your first instinct
is to go a killing spree?

Could you be
any more predictable?

Enzo: It was my idea
if it makes you feel
any better.

Enzo. Remember?
We met when--

When you were trying
to tear damon's head off.

Yeah. I remember.

So, what, you guys
are old pals again,

Murder buddies,
is that it?

Well, you know
how it goes.

I mean, I left
him for dead,

He tried to kill me,

We worked
things out.

You spend 5 years
with someone
in a dungeon,

You have a pretty
unbreakable bond.

Say, you haven't heard
from dr. Wes maxfield
by any chance?

Bloke's next
on the augustine hit list,

And he's a slippery
little devil.

Is that the plan?

Kill off augustine
and then go back

To your sadistic,
psychotic old self?

I happen to like
my old sadistic
self, stefan.

In fact, I miss
that guy.

That guy was
dumb enough to try

And change himself
to get a girl.

Hmm.

Get another hobby,
brother,

Because I'm not
in the mood to
be saved.

What do you say?

Shall we get you
a new hobby?

Golf...

Scrapbooking?

Scrapbooking.

Come on, damon.

You're better
than this.

On the contrary,
brother.

I'm better
like this.

Katherine: Hey, stefan.

Um, it's me.

I was just, uh, wondering--

I mean, I know things
are kind of crazy

And you're probably busy,

But maybe you might
want to come to campus

And we can get a drink
or, I don't know, talk.

So you're trying to
get back with stefan?

I didn't ask you
to editorialize.

I asked you if that
was something that
elena would say.

Yeah, I guess.

Walk away

And forget
this conversation.

Nadia: Are you happy?

Can I leave now?

No. Stay close.

Matt is my elena gilbert
cheat sheet.

I didn't go
through all the drama

Of taking over this body
so that I could be outed

Because I didn't know
bonnie's middle name,

Which is sheila
by the way.

You promised we would
spend some time together.

How long do you expect me
to sit around the mystic grill

Like some sad,
lonely bar fly?

Oh, please.
Don't pretend

That baby-sitting
matty blue eyes

Is some sort
of hardship.

I mean, didn't you
lure him

Into your bed
in prague?

And I wasn't compelling
him to forget everything.

He's not a puppet.

Ah. Ok. I get it.
You like him.

That's adorable.

Ok. I'm honing up now.

Hello. How are you
holding up?

What's going on?

Who are you?

My name is
dr. Wes maxfield,

And you're joey,
right?

I saw your name
stitched on your
work shirt

When I grabbed you.

Apologies, but I
never managed

To make proper
acquaintance

Of the janitorial
staff

Before the hospital
lots its funding.

It's depressing,
isn't it?

The economy is no
friend to medicine.

What do you want
from me?

I don't have
any money.

Ironically, joey,
neither do I.

What did you do to me?

Why am I so hungry?

Well, in simple terms,
I turned you into
a vampire.

Now I'm gonna
condition you to feed
on other vampires

Instead of humans.

What? You're what?

Would you believe
that I've already
done it once?

Now all I have to do
is replicate it.

Research is just
money and time.

I've got time.
I'll find money.

Woman: Perhaps I can
help you with that.

Who the hell
are you?

I'm judging
your crappy lab.

Still didn't catch
your name.

Sloan, and I'm here
to help you,

So you can lose
the arrogance.

I'm here to offer
you new funding
for your research.

What do you know
about my research?

I've been tracking
your augustine
experiments

So in return
for money
and protection,

I have some
blood I want
you to analyze.

Sorry, but I'm done
getting into bed

With mysterious
benefactors,

And I don't need
your protection.

I beg to differ.

This is aaron's bag.

Where'd you get this?

I hate to be the one
to tell you this,

But aaron whitmore's
car was found

Abandoned
in the middle of
the road last night.

No one has seen
or heard from him.

He's dead, isn't he?

My guess is, yes,
he's dead,

And more
to the point,
you're next.

[music playing]

So once we've
finished off this
augustine mess,

What do you say
we do a road trip?

I was thinking
south america,
cape horn.

Sailed past but
never stopped over.

I'm not thinking
that far ahead.

Rise and shine, diane.

How's our favorite
head of whitmore security?

Oh, that's ironic,
isn't it, you know,

Since we broke in
and kidnapped you
from your office.

Let me go, please.

I have two kids.

A mother.
Ah. Interesting.

Well, then
you can imagine
how heartbreaking

It would be to learn
that your child
committed suicide,

Especially when said
child was actually

Murdered
by a vampire,

A murder covered up
by you.

I didn't do any such thing.

Now, diane,
tell the truth.

Did you cover up
a vampire attack
on campus

By forging
a suicide note
or two?

Yes.

Ah. Looks like
the vervain is

Officially out
of her system.

Now I want you
to tell me
exactly where

I can find
dr. Wes maxfield.

I have no idea.

I haven't heard
from him in days.

Well, that's
a shame, diane,

Because that makes
you a dead end.

Well, technically.

[snap]

Now she's a dead end.

On to the next.

I see damon's got you
on shallow grave duty.

Be a mate.
Grab a shovel.

I'll pass. Buried enough
skeletons out here.

I'm sensing a metaphor.

I think you need to
find yourself
a new best friend.

Damon's in a bad place
right now,

And you're not really
making things better.

I know you just got
out of captivity

And you're
looking to blow off
a boatload of steam,

Which is fine.

Just...Do me a favor.

Leave my brother
out of it.

He mentioned you were
a bit of a do-gooder.

You know what
makes somebody walk
a straight line?

When they have no choice
but to be the balance

For somebody
who's about to
fall off the edge.

Ah, but it's
so much more fun

When you can just commit
to the leap.

You're welcome to join
in on the fun.

Looks like you
could use it.

Good man.

Why don't you be
a mate, huh?

Get in that car,
start driving,

Don't look back.

You think that hurts?

I'm curious, stefan.

What do you think
you can possibly do to me

That hasn't been done
a hundred times before?

Go on. Give it
your best shot.

What I do to you, enzo,
will be final.

You got it?

Be sure I never
see you again.

[music playing]

Good! You're back!

I need your help.

Diamond or dangler?

Since when does
elena gilbert
accessorize?

Since she's being conned
to go to the bitter ball

With her best friend
susie sunshine.

Look. You're not
fooling anyone.

I know that you're
faking it.

Faking?
I'm what?

Please. It is
so obvious.

I appreciate it,
I do,

But you know I'm
on edge because

Of the whole
tyler-klaus thing,

So you are
pretending

That breaking up
with damon

Caroline forbes,
how do you always
see right through me?

Look, elena.
You don't have to
pretend with me,

And if you don't
want to go tonight,

It's all good.

I can be bitter,
party of one.

[cell phone vibrating]

Do you think stefan
would want to come?

Hey!

I was--heh--just
about to call you.

Hey. Listen.
I need to talk to you,

But I didn't want to
do it over the phone.

What's wrong?

Let's just say it
involves enzo.

Oh. Enzo. Uh...Ok.

Then maybe we should
meet in person.

Actually, caroline's
dragging me to this
whitmore thing

For lonely hearts.

Yeah. No, thanks.
I already did
the college thing.

Twice actually.

If it's bad,
then I'll owe you
a fun time.

[music playing]

Give me whatever
will obliterate
the memory of caroline.

I thought you said you
weren't drinking anymore.

No. I said I wasn't
drinking alone today.

She's new.

Whatever you're thinking,
unthink it.

That's katherine's
daughter,

And the psycho doesn't
fall far from the tree.

Nadia: I can hear
you, you know?

You locked me in a safe
and buried me alive.

I'm sorry, but I
was trying to save
my mother's life,

And I failed,
so if you
don't mind,

I'd like to sit
here and grieve
in peace.

You want a shot?

I want a shot.

Let's do shots.

What?

Well, you heard her.

She's sorry,
her mom's dead.

Let's do shots.

It's your funeral.

[music playing]

My mom was so afraid
I'd flunk

The eighth grade
and embarrass her,

She actually wrote
an entire english
paper for me.

Oh! Oh. My mother
was so desperate
for companionship,

She compelled
an entire town
to be her friend.

Ooh.

Ha ha ha!

Cheers!

My mom hooked up
with you.

Oh, my god.
Seriously?

[matt and tyler]
afraid so.

Drink, both of you.

Wow! Kind of forgot
about that one.

Up top!

Whoo-hoo! Whoo!

Ahh.

I have to pee.

Hybrids pee?

Matt: There's got to be
a fire hydrant joke

In there somewhere.

Hilarious.

Pour another round.

Who's enzo?

I don't know.
I've never met him.

But you've heard
of him.

He's damon's buddy
from augustine.

They were cellmates
for 5 years.

I think he's free
or something.

Thank you.

Forget everything
I've said since tyler left.

So we're going
to a dance,

But we can't
show up together

Because you can't
bring a date?

Better idea.
Let's get another
hotel room instead.

Caroline would kill me.

Bonnie, we're happy.

Can't we just
act like it?

You know what?
You're right.

I am happy.

Damon: It's like
driving past
a car crash

Except you want
to look away.

What are you
doing here?

I tutor some kids
in calculus.

You know, I like
giving back,

Be a good
role model.

Kidding!

I'm here to kidnap
your boyfriend.

You're not funny.

Let's get out of here.

You're not going
anywhere, buddy.

Or what? You'll
glare at me
to death?

You don't have your
little magic wand

To back you up
anymore, bon-bon.

Hey.

Ooh!

Relax. I'm here
for you, not her,
you idiot.

Keep up. Anyway, I
have this hit list,

And I can't find
my last target,

So basically,
I need a witch.

Ok. Well, you just
said it.

I can't do
magic anymore,

So go away.

Grams ran
occult studies.

I'm sure we could
throw a rock

And hit a witch
around here.

So listen.
Take this--

This is wes' blood.

My buddy enzo kept
this as a souvenir.

Now this should
jump-start
a locator spell.

Ticktock.

Are you deaf?
She is not helping you.

You're not gonna
hurt me.

Elena would--

Elena would what?
Hurt me, dump me?

Been there,
done that,

Wrote
the country song.

Kill you.

She would kill you.

Cool. And then me
and her all
her doppelgangers

Could start
a baseball team
on the other side.

Enzo: What have I missed?

She denied
your request yet?

Can we get on
to the fun bit?

Who the hell
are you?

The one who gets people
to do things

They don't want to do.

[groaning]

Stop!

Stop! Ok. Fine.
I'll help!

[music playing]

Dead corsage?

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey! You made it.

I did.

So who thinks up
these things?

Lonely single people.

Ah.

Come on.

See? As promised,
fun.

You seem good.

I got the same
reaction
from caroline

Like I'm not
allowed to smile
or something.

Did I say that?

No, but I see
your look.

Oh, I have a look?

Yeah. That look.

I'm fine. You don't
have to worry about me.

I'm greatly actually.

I'm the only
non-bitter person

At this bitter ball.

Hmm. Elena, listen.

I need to talk
to you about
something.

Damon--he got
himself into
some bad stuff.

Yeah. Well, it's
what damon does.

If he gets
the tiniest
bit hurt,

He doesn't think,
he doesn't try.

He just acts,

And for
the longest time,

I tried to fix him.

I'd try to change him,

But I think he ended
up changing me,

And I'm not sure that
I like the person
that I've become.

I mean, do you?

Do I what?

Do you like
who I am,

Or do you miss
who I was?

[sighs]

Elena, I--

Let's change
the subject.

What did you
want to tell me?

What did enzo
and damon do now?

You know what?
Could we talk
about it later?

Is that ok?

It's fine by me.

Ok.

Caroline: Hey!

Do you mind if I borrow
her for a minute?

She promised that
she'd join me

At the shredding station.

Sure. Yeah, no.
She's all yours.

Thanks!

Shredding station?

Nadia's not
compelling me.

Really? Where the hell's
your vervain?

Right here.

You see? She swiped it

And probably compelled you
not to notice.

Why would nadia
be compelling me?

I have no idea.

Is there any
vervain here?

Yeah. Sheriff forbes
makes me put it
in the coffee.

Drink some now.

[music playing]

Did you bring
anything to shred?

No because I didn't
realize people still
printed photos.

Ok. Do you feel cleansed?

Almost.

Tyler drew you
a horse?

No. Klaus did.

Wow!

Clean sweep.

Yes. I am making
a decision.

These relationships
are over.

Over.

I'm not going to
change my mind

Just because I'm
feeling bored

Or nostalgic
or lonely.

Wait. Are you doing
that thing

Where you're talking
about yourself

But really you're
talking about me?

I'm just saying
that you've been

Through a lot
lately,

And your emotions
are all over
the place.

So are stefan's.

I think that
making yourself
so available

Could maybe be
confusing things.

Do you think that
I'm leading him on?

No. I didn't
say that.

I just--I--ugh.

Just forget it.
Just--just forget
everything I said.

Ok.

Damon: Ugh!
Makes me so happy

I'm not 19
and stupid.

All right, bonnie.

Where's your
little witch friend?

Liv parker.
She's in one
of my classes,

And she's not my friend.

I looked her up,
found out she works
events catering.

This is a total
shot in the dark.

Well, I'm feeling
lucky.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Come on. Come be
bitter with me.

Oh, no, no, no. You
are the second person

That I didn't come here
to dance with.

Ok. Then what are you
not telling elena?

Way to eavesdrop,
caroline.

You came to a dance
of your own free will.

Something is up.

Ok. Fine. Damon fell
off the deep end.

Uh, what do you mean
exactly by deep end?

For starters, he killed
elena's friend aaron.

He--what?

Yeah, and I came here
to tell her,

But we were dancing,
and she seemed so happy,

And I just couldn't.

You think if you
tell her what he did

That she'll give up
on him forever?

Yeah. I know she will,
and I don't think

I'll be able to pull
damon back from that.

I mean, I've seen damon
at his worst, caroline,

And I actually think
he enjoys the way
it makes him feel.

It's like the more pain
he can cause,

The more reasons
there are for people
to hate him.

He wants to confirm
everyone's lowest
expectations of him,

And I just honestly
don't know how to fight
that side of him.

Damon: Why all
the dramatics, brother?

What are you
doing here?

Bonnie, what's going on?

Oh, don't worry.
I'm not her date.

We're not gonna break
any bitter ball rules.

How about
you just answer
the damn question?

Well, bonnie is gonna
find me a witch

To do a locator spell
on the elusive
dr. Wes maxfield.

She's gonna find him,
I'm gonna kill him.

Bon-bon, should I
tell them?

Enzo has jeremy.

If I don't get a witch
to find wes by midnight,

He'll kill him.

Kkrrrr.

Hypothetical question.

If jeremy gilbert's life
was hanging by a thread,

Could I credibly
just let him die?

Because his death
would be really
convenient for me.

Are you seriously making
a pros and cons list?

Are there any cons?

Because I've only
listed pros.

I'm just saying his death
would earn me

A lot of tenderness
and sympathy from stefan.

If jeremy is in danger,
elena would do

Everything in her power
to save his life.

You know that.

But stefan is here.
We were dancing.

It was good,

And I think he was
even flirting with me,

Which is very naughty,
even for him.

Listen. If you
don't start acting
like you care,

They will figure out
you're not elena.

So if I happen to know
exactly where he is,

I'm supposed to go
and put my life in danger

To save that little
rug rat's life?

Do you know
where he is?

He's at that hideous
whitmore house.

I recognize it
from the picture.

Apparently I'm
the only one

Who's been to
a whitmore tea party.

Save him now!

Ok. Fine,
but in the meantime,

I'm gonna need you
to find out from matt

If caroline has
feelings for stefan

Because she's really
starting to grate.

I need to know what
I'm up against.

Who keeps calling you?

Does caroline have
feelings for stefan?

Caroline?
I have no idea.

Think. Has elena
ever been worried

Caroline might steal
stefan away?

Have they ever
fought about him?

Not that I know of.

So you think elena
can win stefan back?

Why are you asking me
about elena?

Forget we had
this conversation.

So was I right?

Ty, you're not gonna
believe what I'm
about to tell you.

You're not going to
tell him anything.

You ok?

I just can't lose
jeremy again.

Stefan, please.

Help me save him.

Hey.

This room's
off limits.

Look. Under normal
circumstances,

I'd probably try
to warm up to you,

Be your friend
or something,

But I'm kind of
under a time crunch,

And I need your help.

Am I supposed
to know you?

We're in sociology
together.

I'm bonnie.
My grams sheila bennett

Used to teach here,
occult studies.

Never heard of it
or her, so...

I know you're a witch.

I saw you spin
that pen this morning.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

You don't have
to be scared.

I used to be one, too.

Yeah. No. Try
the campus coven club
or something.

I really need your help.

Even if I wanted to help,
I couldn't.

I don't know
what I'm doing.

I'm just some freak, ok?

Now leave me alone.

Oh, my god!

What the hell
are you?

You're gonna help
my friend.

Do I need to
say it slower?

Vampires are real.
Ok. That makes sense.

Actually, that makes
no sense.

Concentrate. Forget
about the vampires.

Focus on tapping
into your power,

Listen to the sound
of your heart beating,

The sound of your lungs
filling with air.

How long's
this gonna take?

For a newbie witch to learn
a complicated spell

Under massive stress?

I have no idea. Bonnie?

Repeat after me.

Phesmatos tribum

Nas ex viras,

Sequitas sanguinem.

Wait. What?

Just relax.

Phesmatos tribum...

Phesmatos tribum...

Nas ex viras...

Nas ex viras...

Sequitas sanguinem.

Sequitas sanguinem.

Now keep
your eyes closed

And use the blood
to find wes.

I have no idea
what he looks like.

You don't have to.

Phesmatos tribum

Nas ex viras,

Sequitas sanguinem.

Phesmatos tribum

Nas ex viras,

Sequitas sanguinem.

Ohh!

That a good sign?

I can't do this.

Just concentrate.
Try again.

I can't do this.

Don't you get it?

I've done
horrible things.

I've set buildings
on fire,

I've hurt people.

I can't control
any of it.

[cell phone rings]

Witchy hotline.
How my I help you?

Damon speaking.

What's taking so long?

They seem to have
lost motivation.

Maybe you can
inspire them.

Heh. With pleasure.

Let them know jeremy
will be dead very soon.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Damon, call him back
right now

And you tell him
to stop.

Damon, call him back!

Just so you know,

Cooperation's
not optional.

Damon tells me
your sweetheart

Hasn't come through
on your behalf.

What are you
gonna do?

I'm sure killing me
would really
inspire her.

Heh. You know,
you're right.

She'll think I'm
just some clich? murderer.

I really like to make
a good impression, you know?

[clang]

You don't have
to do this.

You see,
that's the thing
about threats.

If there's
no follow-through,

No one takes
you seriously.

Sorry to make
this about me.

[groaning]

See? Wasn't so bad.

I've done
bad things, too, ok?

I've broken windows,
I've set more fires
than I can count.

Is that supposed to
make me feel better?

I'm saying I learned
how to control it.

I can teach you
the same thing.

This is jeremy.

He's cute.

Yeah, he is,

And his life is
literally in your hands.

[sighs]

Ok. But if I go all carrie
and burn the school down,

It's on you.

Ok.

Jeremy!

Damn it, jeremy!

You should have left
when I told you to.

Did I give
the impression I was
taking orders from you?

My bad.

[coughs]

Come on!

Come on!
Wake up, jeremy.

[gasps]

Ugh. Thank god.

Unh!

Stefan, help me!

You missed
all the fun.

Spell worked.
Wes is in richmond.

Brilliant. I'll drive.

Stefan: Damon...

Don't bother
coming back.

I wasn't planning
on it.

Unh!

What happened?
Where's nadia?

Sorry.
Slight misunderstanding.

What the hell kind
of misunderstanding
is that?

You were right.
She was compelling me

But only because
she wanted to talk
about katherine

And she knew I was
pissed at her.

I guess they didn't
really settle their
mother-daughter issues

Before she died.

She wanted to talk
about katherine?

Yeah, but she knew
that you would go
after her

If you knew
she was frying my mind.

I guess she's got that
whole stone-cold
survival thing going.

Like mother,
like daughter.

A little
friendly advice.

Stay the hell
away from her.

Yep. I plan on it.

You call me
if she gives you
any more hassle.

I took care of it.

If he follows us,
I'll kill you both.

I said I took
care of it.

Earlier on the phone,
you weren't talking
to elena.

You were talking
to someone who
needed information.

Do yourself a favor
and stop asking questions.

Your boyfriend once
planted himself
inside my brain.

That's how you were
planning on saving katherine.

She didn't die,
did she?

She jumped inside elena.

The only thing easier
than breaking your neck

Is taking off
your magic life ring.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

What are you
gonna do with me?

I haven't
decided yet.

First, we need to get
the vervain out
of your system,

And then, we'll see.

So what do you say?

Paper, scissors, stone
for who gets to give

Dr. Frankenstein
his fatal blow.

Now don't tell me you're
having second thoughts
about leaving home.

I was there
for elena.

We're done. No
reason to go back.

[clatter]

What about your brother?

You saw his face.
I know that look.

He's done
with me, too.

[chanting,
"evhas elebuk estupay"]

And you are?

My backup.

You got to be kidding me.

Unh!

What is this? Agh!
More witches?

Close.

Travelers.

[chanting continues]

Good luck making
new friends, damon.

Evhas elebuk estupay.

Ow. Ssst.

You ok?

Oh. Um, you know,
actually,

Would you mind?

I think I still have
a splinter in my back.

Yeah. Sure.

[music playing]

Yeah. There it is.

Oh!

Try not to move.

Sorry.

I think I know
what you wanted to
tell me tonight, stefan.

Unh!

Got it.

Damon killed aaron,
didn't he?

You walked right
through the threshold

At the whitmore house.

You couldn't have
done that

If the owner
hadn't been dead.

Aaron was the owner.

Yeah. I--I should
have told you. Sorry.

Why didn't you?

I thought that we...

Maybe I don't deserve
anything from you,

But I thought we
could be honest
with each other

No matter what.

You want me
to be honest?

Yes.

All right.

Truth is, ever since
the first time

I noticed you falling
for my brother,

I have been waiting
for him to screw
something up

So badly
that you hate him,

So I've been waiting
and watching him do

All these
horrible things,

And then every single time
I think that he's gone too far,

He's there for you,

Sometimes in ways
better than I ever was.

So the truth is
after a while,

I just stopped waiting
for him to fail

Because I liked the person
that he had become...

And I don't want to
lose that person.

He threatened
my brother.

Stefan, I can't go
back to that.

I know.

But if you want to
save him from himself,

Then I'll help you

But not for myself
and not for him.

For you.

Hey.

[grunts]

Ooh.

What--what'd he
stick you with?

I don't know.

Come here.

I can tell you,
if he stuck me

With that cannibal
vampire poison,

We might have
a little problem.

What kind of problem?

Wes has this
sick little scheme

To destroy vampires
my making them
feed on each other.

[chains rattling]

You hear that?

Psst.

Can you get me
out of here?

I don't want
to be here.

I need to get out.

Thanks. I owe you.

What's happening to you?

I'm gonna go ahead
and say karma.

Karma's happening
to me.

Enzo: Damon?
Damon, stop!

Ok.

I can see how this
might be a problem.
