The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 5, Episode 2 - True Lies - full transcript

A fellow Whitmore student named Jesse (KENDRICK SAMPSON) gives Elena some intriguing information about Professor Wes Maxfield (RICK COSNETT). Damon asks for help finding Stefan.

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'm in love
with you, Damon.

Raverus
un animun.

We've all made sacrifices.

Bonnie, what
did you do?

I did a spell that
brought you back.

You can see ghosts.
We can talk.

No! You can't be dead!



Party at Whitmore
house tonight.

And even though
we're trying to move on...

I love college.

Hey!
Who are you?

I'm Megan,
your roommate.

Please help me!

Oh, my God!

This was a vampire.

New enemies
have emerged...

Nadia?

Jaryakat a zem.

Just as our
greatest threat...

Silas.

Hello, my
shadow self.



Is finally making his move.

Where's Stefan?

Bring me Katherine,
and then I will tell you

where your
little brother is.

You can't take me
back there, Jeremy.

You all know
Elena Gilbert.

Well, the girl that
I'm looking for

looks exactly like her.

It was supposed to be
a nice family event.

Just stopped in
to see my dad.

Then Silas showed up.

He said he was testing
how powerful

his mind control
had become.

Nobody make a sound
or move a muscle.

The entire town did
exactly what he said.

Aah! Aah!

He didn't want
any witnesses,

so he told them to forget
what he did.

They watched my dad die,

and they couldn't
do anything

or tell anyone

what are you
gonna do?

You gonna hug me?

I want to.

But you can't.

You can't touch me,

and I can't touch you
because I'm dead

just like my dad except
he's not supernatural,

so I don't get to see him
on the other side.

He's just dead.

Silas is using his mind control
to find Katherine.

He told everyone in the town square
to keep an eye out

for anyone that
looks like Elena.

Whatever he wants
with Katherine...

We can't let him
have it.

You ok, hon?

You're gonna get
yourself sick out here.

Thank you so much
for stopping.

You ok just like
Elena Gilbert.

Actually, I'm
much prettier.

Katherine Pierce,
right?

I'm supposed to be
keeping my eye out for you.

Aah! Ohh. Aah!

Errr!

Ugh.

Damn it! Unh!

Hurts, doesn't it?

Not as much
as this will.

We could be doing anything right now,
Stefan, be anywhere.

Why here,
why this?

These are
the good moments,

the simple ones,
the ones that matter.

These are the moments
that keep me from falling apart.

This can't last
forever.

You're just
distracting yourself.

Elena, Elena, Elena.

Elena!

No.

Megan's memorial outside
is growing by the minute.

Ugh. College kids
are so dramatic.

She was on campus
for, like, one day.

She couldn't have
made that many friends.

Caroline, she's dead.

You can stop competing
with her.

Sorry.
I'm in a mood.

You talked to Tyler?

He's deferring
from enrolling

and deferring from returning
my phone calls,

so I'm deferring from having sex
with him ever again.

How's the snooping
going?

Any explanation why
our Vervain-laced...

Vampire-slaughtered
roommate

had a picture
of my dad on her phone?

No.

Oh! I went by the hospital
this morning.

Megan's death certificate.

It says she died
of suicide.

No mention of the gaping
vampire bites on her neck.

So whoever signed off
on the cause of death

was part
of the cover-up

just like the Founders Council
back home.

Dr. Wesley
Maxfield.

AKA our applied
microbiology professor

I switched our classes around
so that we can--

applied what--what?

Uh, Elena, we are supposed
to be taking

intro
to communication.

What happened
to getting drunk

and making bad decisions
about boys?

What happened to our
fun freshman year at college?

I am supposed to be
a drama major!

You're not going to be
an anything major

if we get exposed
as vampires!

We are still gonna have
our fun year, Caroline,

but we have
to protect ourselves.

The way Damon kept
his secret in Mystic Falls

was because he infiltrated
the Founders Council.

So bust out those
alleged acting skills,

and let's get
on it, ok?

Damon, I know I said
I'd help you find your brother,

but I can't dredge
the entire quarry.

It's enormous.

I'm aware of that.

I mean, clearly
that's why we wanted to dump

Silas' body here
because it's big and deep

and no one would
find him.

Now say I'm Silas
and I want to

take over my
doppelganger's life,

why wouldn't I dump
him in a place

that's big and deep
where no one would find him?

Damon, I already agreed to hold off
on telling anyone

about the mayor's death
until you figure this all out,

but I can't devote
those kinds of resources

to finding one person
who may or may not be down there.

But it's a place
to start,

and if Stefan's
down there, it means

he's been drowning
over and over again all summer

while I've been happily playing
house with Elena.

Do I need to
further elaborate

the source
of my urgency?

I'll get some deputies
on it.

Thank you, Liz.

Please tell me
you found her.

I didn't,
but Matt did.

Huh. How shockingly
useful.

Those blue eyes,
they made me soft.

I should have ripped
your head off when I had the chance.

She was mid cat fight
with some lady who maced her.

We think Silas might have
mind-controlled himself some new friends.

How exactly did the Gilbert and Donovan
brain trust put

all that together?

Never mind.
Doesn't matter.

Just hide her.
If Silas wants her bad enough,

to sic the whole town
on her, that means we want her more.

Stay out of sight.

You're the last person
Silas saw her with.

Are these ropes
really necessary?

Bullet would have been
more effective,

but we're trying
to be nice.

You crashed my car
and left me to die.

You were gonna hand
me over to Silas to get Stefan back.

I was just
protecting myself.

How many people you killed
using that excuse?

Just be glad we got
you some clothes.

Don't play the hero.

You two are just waiting for
the convenient time

to hand me back
over to him.

I've done this
a thousand times.

I get it.
I'm the leverage.

I'm that thing that
everybody wants.

I'm the freaking
Moonstone.

Hey. Blow-off girl.

Aren't you
a freshman?

How are you
in this class?

What? Um, I love
applied...Micro...Biology.

It's like
my favorite biology.

You know, little things
are just so cute!

Are you going to
the bonfire tonight,

or are you just gonna get
really close

and then turn around
and leave again?

She'll be there.

Sweet.

We'll hang.

What? You said
you wanted to make

bad decisions
about boys.

He's cute,
he's interested,

and most importantly,
unlike Tyler, he's here.

Morning, everyone.

I'm Dr. Maxfield.
First name is Wes,

but call me Dr. Maxfield.

One day when you're out
of med school,

you'll understand.

So you're all going
to this bonfire tonight, right?

Well, here's a quick
history lesson for you.

Whitmore was founded as
a hospital during the Civil War,

deadliest war
in American history,

over 600,000 casualties.

Disease was so prevalent
that once a week

they had to gather all the dead,
rotting bodies, put them in a pile,

and light
the whole thing on fire.

So tonight when you're
getting drunk and partying,

stop for a second,
close your eyes,

and imagine the rancid smell
of a hundred rotting corpses.

Creep-y.

Which brings us
to microbiology...

But hott-ie.

Because that rancid smell comes from
a very specific bacteria.

He is.

Isn't that right,
chatty girls in the back?

And what is that bacteria?

Uh, that's the, uh--
um, I don't know.

Maybe because you're freshmen
who shouldn't be in this class.

How do I know?
I'm observant,

a skill you'll learn
in Bio 101 down the hall.

It was mortifying.

We just sat there
in silence.

You want me to
beat him up?

Not yet.
Whatever he knows,

I'm gonna get it
out of him.

Did you compel him?

No, because chances
are if he knows about vampires,

then he also knows
about Vervain.

How about violence?
Did you threaten him?

No. I didn't
threaten him.

At least tell you
you used torture.

Damon!

You do realize that
you are dating

a reformed
serial killer, right?

What would a hero do?

Pfft. That I have
no idea.

Stefan?

I don't know.
Probably mope at him.

Stefan's here
right now.

What?

Turn off your phone.

Elena? Whoa, whoa.
That is not s--

I know you're upset
that I didn't call,

so I just wanted to
apologize in person.

Never do that
again, ok?

I thought something
terrible happened to you.

Well, something terrible
did happen to me.

You fell in love
with my brother.

Ouch.

Can't blame me for needing
a little bit of space.

I know.

Where did you go?

It's not important.

I'm sure Damon
will fill you in eventually.

You talked to Damon?

Because I just
spoke to him,

and he didn't
really say anything.

Oh. Weird.

Maybe he has his
hands full

with the whole,
you know, Jeremy situation.

What Jeremy
situation?

Oh, it's not a big deal.
Jeremy got expelled.

Expelled?

Yeah, and then he
and Damon got in this fight,

and then Jeremy bolted.

Wait. How do I not
know about this?

Where the hell
is Jeremy?

That's why I'm here.
I was hoping maybe you'd know.

Oh, thank God
we're stopping.

If I can only get
out of the car.

Well, you can't
because as soon as we get gas,

we're getting back
on the road.

Ohh. But I'm dying
back here.

You're not getting out of the car
because you want an aspirin.

Then maybe I can get
out of the car because I need to pee,

like, in a bathroom
like a lady.

Hurry.

My throat is
really scratchy,

and my head hurts,
like, right here.

When I cough,
it's green.

So get me stuff
for all that.

Silas knows I'm
with you. Sorry.

I can't risk
being seen.

Please.

Fine.

Just this.

Is that Elena Gilbert
or Katherine Pierce?

Jeremy, Katherine!

Stop running.

Damon! Towel! Knock!

Caroline,
no one cares. No.

Hey. Where's Elena?

I don't know.
She probably went to the bonfire

to get more intel
our weirdo professor.

Silas is here. He's with Elena,
pretending to be Stefan.

Get dressed.

I thought that
Stefan dropped his body

in the quarry.

Join the club.
Get dressed.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Elena was right.

All summer, she's
had this pit in her stomach

about Stefan.
What?

I don't know.
She just said that

she had this
weird feeling that something

was wrong with him.

Put some clothes on.
Meet me out there.

We have to find her.

Jeremy's still
not answering.

I'm gonna hold on
to your phone

in case he
calls back.

Why are you
so worried about him?

Damon made a mess,
and I want to clean it up.

Did he really think
that I wasn't gonna find out?

It's Damon.
Are you surprised?

I just figured we were
at a place

where he wouldn't
have to lie to me.

Sorry. I, uh...

I probably shouldn't
be talking about this with you.

It's ok.

I know exactly what
you're thinking.

Sorry. I don't mean
to cut this short,

but someone said
they just saw Jeremy on Route 9.

Do you know where
he might be going?

Route 9? I mean,
there was this old camp site

that we used to go to
when we were kids.

Ah.

Wait. Who texted you?

Hello, brother.

But I suppose distant nephew is
probably more accurate.

Where the hell's Elena?

Ohh. There's no need
for violence, Damon.

You'll find her
eventually.

There you go.

Look. I get
why you like her.

I mean, I have
a soft spot for brunettes, too.

What I don't get is why
she likes you.

It's because you haven't
had sex with me.

Cockiness masking fear.
How transparent.

You expect me to believe you came
all this way just to talk to her?

No. That doesn't really
make much sense, does it,

but if I told you
exactly what I did,

then it would ruin
the fun.

Enjoy the bonfire,
Damon.

Why would Silas
want to hurt her?

Because he wants
to hurt me.

You know, if you just
would have told the truth,

all of this could
have been avoided.

Gee. Thanks, Caroline.
Your hindsight is

invaluable
in this situation.

Watch where you're
going, douche.

Have you see
Elena Gilbert?

I have no idea
who that is,

and if I were her,
I'd probably run from you, too.

Wrong answer.

Forget all this
and get out of here.

You have to calm down.

He turned the entire
town square

into a hunting party
for Katherine.

How am I supposed
to calm down

when every single person
here could be working for Silas?

I got that.

Whoa. I...

Boyfriend drama.

Wow. Boyfriend drama,
kicked out of class.

Today's not your day.

What is his deal
anyway?

Dr. Dickfield?

Yeah, him.

Tell you what.
Help me grab some more firewood,

and I will tell you
everything you need to know.

Ok.

I had Dr. Maxfield
for a few classes last year.

He's a jerk,
but he's brilliant,

so I'll give him
a pass.

Brilliant and creepy.

There's a rumor that
he's a part

of this secret society
on campus.

What, like middle-aged men
at an Elk lodge?

I have no idea. All I know is that
a few times a week

they supposedly meet
at Whitmore house,

but you didn't hear
that from me.

Damon? What the hell?

Seriously?
That's Jesse!

I kind of liked him.

Don't even think
about it.

Please. I wouldn't
even know how to use it.

I've never shot a gun
in my life.

Didn't need to.

I was much more deadly.

Key word--"was."

I'm gonna go get
some wood for the fire.

I'll be back.

I survived childbirth,

the death
of my entire family,

and 500 years of running
from an immortal hybrid.

You can understand
why I'm a little upset

that I am on the verge
of being defeated by a sinus infection.

Not a word out of you.

You can't talk,
you can't scream.

Yeah.

Actually, I can.

Jeremy, run!

Why can't I get
inside your head?

Jaryakat a zem.
Daryeet acza.

Now I see why.

Somebody's
already in there.

Why are you watching
me, Traveler?

Odpovezete mi!

Jeremy?

Jeremy, hey.
There you are, man.

What--

what the hell?

Freaky,
isn't it,

that feeling,
the void,

the emptiness?

Bonnie, what's
going on?

Where the hell
am I?

The other side.

Gilbert ring brought you
here when you died.

That's how it works.

Temporarily brings
your spirit here.

To go back, you have to
reconnect to your body.

My body's not
even here.

It's because each time
you die you wake up

farther and farther
away from it,

and you wander
the other side until you find it.

Wait. If I'm on the other side,
how can you see me?

There's something
you should know.

All right.
Before you get mad--

mad can wait. Sit.

Elena...Wait. Wait.

As much as I'd like
to do this right now...

Silas got into
your head, didn't he?

What did Stefan
tell you to do?

Get you alone,
weaken you...

And then kill you.

Aah! Aah!

Damon, I'm so sorry.
I...

What the hell
is happening?

You're in some sort
of Silas trance,

but I think you
snapped out of it.

Silas? But I--

before you ask, no.
He's not in the quarry.

It's a common misconception.

You talked
to him today.

How is that
possible?

I--I was in a crowd
full of people.

I hugged him. I was talking to him
about my life

and about--

Me?

I bet he had some
choice things to say.

Wait. If that
was Silas,

then where's Stefan?

What happened
to Stefan, Damon?

Where is he?

Can you talk about this
when you don't have

that murdery look
in your eyes?

You're right.
Every time I look at you,

all I want to do
is kill you.

It must be Silas'
mind control.

He's using your anger
at me like a trigger.

You have to resist it.

I can't!

Elena, you have
to resist it.

I'm trying!

Aah! Unh!

Tell me
what's going on.

Sorry. This was all
I could find out there.

Sorry my friend
went aggro.

He's got anger issues.

And a serious
right hook.

Yeah.

But, hey, it got us
alone together,

so that's a win.

I have a boyfriend.

And where is he
other than not here?

Well, he's supposed
to be here.

He deferred a semester.

You don't have
to say anything.

I know how
these things go.

People go to school,
and they drift apart.

Yeah, and sometimes,
they don't.

Exactly. Sometimes,
they don't.

And sometimes,
you change,

but what you had
still means something.

Yes, yes!

And sometimes when you're thinking
all those things,

your girlfriend
is moving on

and sleeping
with somebody back home

and has no intention of
getting back with you.

Oh, my God. Ugh.

I'm so sorry.

It was a while ago,

and honestly until the worst
actually happened,

I wouldn't listen
to anybody tell me otherwise.

I could always find an excuse,
so I get it.

Get in the truck
and drive.

Where are you going?

I can't leave Matt.

Uh, wai--huh.
How do you think

I survived
500 years?

It wasn't because
I was a vampire.

It's because I never
looked back.

Don't be dumb.
Survive.

That's why people treat
you like an object and not like a person.

It actually hasn't
been so bad.

I have Jeremy,
and I see grams sometimes.

Last night with my dad
was the first really hard time.

I'll be ok.
I just have to get

past these next
few days.

Bonnie, you don't have
to pretend like it's ok.

Your dad died,
and...

You died.

It's not ok.

It has to be

because there's
nothing I can do about it.

I am so sorry.

Matt!

Now if my
best friend died,

I'd at least pretend
to cry,

which leads me to believe
that he's not really dead.

I take it that tacky ring somehow
protects him.

Too bad you can't get inside
my head to find out for sure.

Hunter's perk.

Heh. See, that's
what you don't get.

When I can read
your mind,

I at least have
use for you.

Now I'm just gonna
kill you.

You can try, but none of your
abilities work on me,

so right now,
you're nothing--

slower than a vampire,
weaker than a vampire.

I on the other hand
am a hunter.

Plus I work out.

Unh!

You might be
stronger than me,

but you're
forgetting

that I am immortal.

Unh!

I thought you said
you didn't know how to use that.

I figured it out.

Poor Bonnie.
She must have tried to call me

right after Silas
stole my phone.

Has anyone talked to her?
Is she ok?

I don't know. I've had more important
things to worry about.

My best friend's
dad died.

That's pretty
damn important.

Yeah? Well, so is
protecting your brother,

finding mine, and figuring out
what the hell

Silas wants
with Katherine.

I just left.
What the hell is wrong with you?

You're getting angry
at me again, Elena.

Remember, trigger.

My brother got
expelled!

You've got him playing white knight
to Katherine,

who's tried
to kill me...

Repeatedly.

Stefan's been--
he's been suffering for months

while I've been
rolling around with you,

a self-proclaimed
serial killer.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Elena, that is the gas.

Stop. You don't really
want to kill me, Elena.

You have to realize this

before you're gonna break
Silas' compulsion.

I can't, ok? All I can think
about is killing you!

Well, you're gonna have to think
about something stronger

than your desire
to kill me,

or you're gonna
kill us both.

Stefan.

Stefan.

Think about Stefan.

Caroline told me you'd
been worried about him,

that you had a pit
in your stomach.

Describe it,
tell me about it.

What? No. I can't.

Think about him.

Think about the feelings
you're getting.

Describe it to me.

It's a...
It's a chill.

I can't explain it,
but it's like I can feel him.

He's trying to
reach out to me,

but I don't know
where he is,

and I can't understand what
he's trying to say.

All I know is
that he's scared,

and he's lonely,
and he's in a lot of pain.

He's in a lot
of pain.

We have to find him.

We will.

I swear.

The rage,

it's gone.

I think we need to
set some ground rules

for when boyfriends
come to visit.

I think somebody
moved my body.

It's weird,
but I can feel it.

It's like I'm
drawn to it.

There it is.

So if this happens every time
I die with the Gilbert ring,

the second I go back,
that means I'm just gonna

forget about all of this.

I'll forget
that you're dead.

Bonnie, you and Jeremy
can't keep this a secret anymore.

I'm sorry your dad died.

I know it's hard,
but how are you gonna deal

with his death if you can't
even deal with your own?

It's really good
to see you, Matt.

Welcome back
to the land of the living.

What the hell
happened?

Yeah. Silas
killed you,

tried to kill me,
then--

I shot him.

So we're even.
No more whining.

Let's go. Silas
won't be down for long.

Hey. I left the hatchet.
I'll be right back.

Hey.

You ok?

I'm not ready
to be dead yet, Jeremy.

I'm just not.
Maybe I will be one day,

but it's not today,

and I don't know
what to do about my dad

or what to do
when the sheriff calls

because she's gonna
call me--

it's ok. We'll get
through this.

I can tell everybody that
you're with family,

that it was too hard
for you to be here.

I might not be
able to touch you or hold you,

but I'm here
for you

no matter
what you need.

Did you find that girl that you
were looking for?

Yes, I did,
and then she shot me,

so I'm a little bit angry,

and I'm
a little bit hungry,

but luckily,
you can help me out

with one
of those things.

Fill her up.

Oh, goody.
Gypsies are here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You call yourselves
travelers now, right?

It's much more P.C.

You can call me
whatever you want

when I'm gutting you.

I see. You're mad
that I killed

your blond-haired,
blue-eyed host, right?

That's what you get
for taking over somebody's body

to spy on me,
but congrats.

You found me,
so now what?

What do you want?

You back in that tomb,
sealed away for eternity.

That's what the travelers
have always wanted.

Luckily for you, I've never really
considered myself one.

I know you can see
inside my mind,

and I have
my own agenda.

Yes.

I see that you do.

I'll be back, roomie.

I don't know when,
but I will be back.

Just call me the minute you hear
from Bonnie, ok?

I've left her, like,
a hundred messages.

You're gonna find
him, Elena.

Yeah, I know.

Bye.

Bye.

I didn't think Elena Gilbert
would give up so easily.

Sorry about being
a hard ass earlier.

It's kind of my thing.

You're Grayson Gilbert's
daughter, aren't you?

You knew my dad?

Knew of him.

He's a legend
around here. Brilliant.

I've studied all
his research.

I can only hope to do
the kind of work he did.

So does that mean
that he forged

death certificates, too?

And here I thought
you were just

passionate about microbiology.

I have office hours tomorrow.

Come by. We can chat.

Um, yeah, I would,
but I've got

other important
things on my plate right now.

Let me know
when that plate clears.

Well, I guess
that's how a hero would do it.

Honesty. Who'd have
thunk it?

Aren't you the least bit curious
about the whole

"Nancy Drew and the creepster
Professor" thing?

Caroline will take over.
I can't stay here

knowing that Stefan's
out there somewhere.

Yeah. Well...

That's Stefan's
daylight ring.

Snagged it from
Silas yesterday,

and for the record, I am secure
enough in our relationship

that you having psychic dreams
about your ex-boyfriend

does not
bother me...

But it still sucks.

I love you.

We're gonna save Stefan,

and I'm still gonna
love you, ok?

Yeah?

We found something.

We didn't find anything
in the quarry,

but a deputy found this
a few miles away.

We didn't open it.

Looks like it's been
in there for 3 months.

Chances are he's hungry.

Oh, my God.
That's not Stefan.

You're right.
He was hungry.

Bet he still is.
