The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 5, Episode 6 - Handle with Care - full transcript

Silas happily announces his new goal to Damon and Elena, but they are skeptical when he promises to accomplish one important task in return for their help. Tessa confidently tells Stefan ...

Previously on
"The Vampire Diaries"...

I'm Elena.
I'm Stefan.

Love brought
me to Mystic Falls,

love drove me away.

I love you, Damon.

Silas.

Hello,
my shadow self.

And even though
we've lost almost everything...

Bonnie's dead, Elena.

I have no idea
who you people are.

There are people at this school
watching you and your friends.



Drop out and move back
to Mystic Falls.

Our hope is not lost.

Silas' whole bad guy plan was
to kill himself

and reunite with
his dead girlfriend Amara.

I want to use
his death

to bring Bonnie
back to life.

Silas was my true love.

I never said I was his.

He wanted to be
with Amara.

Silas needs
every last drop of your blood

to cure himself,
Katherine.

Aah! Aah!

No, Damon.
I don't want to die.

Am I in hell?



Sure a little thing
like you can eat all that?

I'm celebrating.

I thought I was
gonna die.

I didn't.

So now I'm free
to be

whatever
I want to be. Heh.

It's a good day.

Love the hair,
by the way.

Bold choice.

Handle With Care

Sync & corrections by Saman 22

This is nice.

It is nice.

Quiet, still, peaceful.

I like our life
when it's like this.

But it is our life,

which probably means
that somebody's

gonna walk through that door
and shatter it.

Oh, don't say that.

In 10, 9...

Just let me enjoy
the moment.

6, 5...

Damon, today is the day that we're
gonna bring Bonnie back.

It's a good day.

3...2...

Damon, it's a good day.

♪ greetings

One.

Good morning, frenemies.

Ah. You know, I'm
only a few hours

into my old life
as a witch,

but somehow,
the sun feels warmer.

Probably because
I'm not cursed

with having to
outlive it any more.

What's with the home
invasion, Silas?

Well, Damon,
after 2,000 years

of a miserable existence,

I finally get to die.

Morning, sleepyhead.

Sleep well?

Oh. Tessa. Hi.

You're confused.

Is that the amnesia
or the Tequila?

Um, I think both.

I'm still trying
to piece together last night.

We bonded
over our misery.

There were
body shots.

The misery lifted.

Here. Berries.

Thank you.
What's got you

in such a good mood?

I happened to see
a text message pop up on your phone

after you crashed
last night.

Warning
from your friends.

Silas took the cure.
He's a witch.

He's mortal,
and now I can kill him.

Get up, gorgeous.

Your doppelganger
dies today.

We all know that Tessa
as a real vengeful bitch.

Your doppelganger Amara
died at her hands,

but today
after 2,000 years,

Amara and I will finally reunite.

All right. Skip
the mushy parts.

Look. My girl here
is just trying to have a good day,

and there are
promises she's

expecting you
to keep.

Oh. You don't think
that I keep my promises?

You said that now you're
a witch again

you would bring Bonnie
back from the other side.

I did, and I can.

And you promised Damon
that you would do that

if he helped you.

Yeah.

But you're kind of evil.
No offense.

None taken.

So I'm just trying
to figure out

how I can trust that one
of your last acts

in this world will be to
bring my best friend back.

Did you want me
to pinky swear?

She's trying to have
a good day.

Just tell her how
it's gonna go down.

I just want to destroy
the other side

so I don't get stuck
in that pit of a Purgatory

when I finally do
kill myself.

Before I do that,
I'll bring Bonnie back,

and being the amazing
and incredible

and all-powerful witch
that I am,

I can totally do
both things.

I just have to find
The Anchor first and destroy it.

The Anchor?

Silas is looking
for The Anchor.

It's the object
I used to bind the spell

when I created
the other side.

Destroy it,
the spell's broken.

No more
supernatural limbo,

and Silas can die
and find peace.

I'd rather his lying, cheating ass
not have that.

Great, fine.
I approve.

Where is it?

New Jersey?

The supernatural
other world is bound

by an object in
Snooki's backyard?

It's in a stockyard,
and it's being shipped out,

so we really need
to--hello, hunter.

Banner day for you, huh?

Didn't you
and the Bennett witch

used to--tch, tch.

Hey.
Knock it off, ok?

It's ok, Jer.
We all want the same thing today--

Silas dead,
Bonnie alive.

Aka, put the damn
crossbow down, Pocahontas.

We're just supposed
to believe that he's gonna

bring Bonnie back to life
out of the goodness of his heart?

Well, I hope not.

I mean, I am
kind of a monster.

You know, guys, I'm feeling really
ganged up on right now, ok?

I would hate to lose my temper
and do something...

Crazy.

Heh.

Ahh. Man, I really love
being a witch again.

I feel like
I'm constantly reinventing myself.

I'm like
a supernatural Madonna,

don't you think?

So Silas read your mind
and figured out

where The Anchor is?

Now what?

You now that old,
ancient story

I told you
about the Travelers?

Oh, wait. You don't.

I fried your brain
and took your memories. Sorry.

The Travelers--
you know how Silas

wants to destroy
the other side

so he can be
at peace with that slut Amara

that he calls
his one true love?

The Travelers
don't want that.

Why not?
Not important.

Scratch that.
Very important.

I'm just not gonna
answer it.

Um, you know what?

I think I still need
to be drunk

to understand
this story.

The Travelers have
been in possession of The Anchor

for 2,000 years.

They constantly
move it so it doesn't fall

into the wrong
hands,

and they're not
gonna let him get near it,

at least not
before I kill him.

Yeah? Well, what if
they fail?

He won't destroy it.

He won't
be able to.

Why not?

Let's just file that under the
not gonna answer it category.

All right.
We got to get going.

You grab a crowbar
or 4 from the garage.

What for?

Does it matter?

You, you're not going.

Men only.

Are you serious?
He's not serious.

No, he's not serious.

Actually,
I am 100% serious.

She's a freaky carbon copy
of my one true love Amara.

You can understand
why I don't want to stare

at her imposter face
all day.

That makes no sense.

If would make
complete sense

if you were ever
in love with anybody

who looked
exactly like her.

This is ridiculous.

We're bringing
my best friend back from the dead.

I'm going.

Aah!
Hey!

Next one goes
in the heart.

Now hurry up.
I only have until sundown

before Tessa tries
to stop me.

Well, the one good thing
about having amnesia

is that I don't remember
how I got in the middle of all this.

Rest easy,
sweet pea.

Don't you worry
about the details.

Silas is going to
die today,

and he will spend
eternity

on the other side
as far away from Amara

and peace
as possible.

I have it
all covered.

You don't scheme
as long as I have

without considering
every possibility.

What's wrong?

Silas put a spell
on this cabin.

We're stuck here
until sundown.

How do you know that?

Because I taught him
the damn spell.

I don't want to know
if Tyler called,

so don't
even tell me.

Do you want to do
small appliances or toiletries?

I'd compel a cute boy
to pack for us,

but I don't think I want to see
a cute boy ever again

except for Jesse, who is conveniently
not answering his phone.

Um, we're
moving out?

Hello! Dr. Maxfield
thinks we're vampires,

you know, threatened
to expose us,

told us to drop out.

That sucks. Ahem.

What the hell are you doing
in my dorm, Katherine?

I just need
a place to crash.

What? I loathe you.

I'm desperate, ok?

Damon kicked me out,
Stefan doesn't remember me,

and I just spent
my last $20

on a meal that
I didn't even get to enjoy.

Aw. And how is
any of this my problem?

Look at you.

Moving out,
giving up?

That's very
un-Caroline of you.

You need me bad.

In exchange
for a place to stay

and Elena's
meal card,

I will help you deal
with Dr. whoever.

Dr. Maxfield.
He teaches Bio.

Heh. I'm sorry.
What?

You're scared
of a teacher?

Aw, honey, you
really need to take a crash course

on Villain 101,

but luckily for you,

I have an honorary
doctorate.

What do you
say, roomie?

Stefan's phone.

Who's this?

Uncanny.

Your doppelganger
voice is exactly like Amara's,

so whiny.

Tessa, where's Stefan?

He's here.
Well, not here here.

He hopped
in the shower.

Between us girls,
he works up quite the sweat,

but I guess you
know that.

May I leave him
a message?

Yeah. Remind him that
you're a crazy bitch.

I would, but I think that's
maybe his type.

He's with Tessa.

Why does he keep
going back to her?

Look. Who knows?
Amnesia Stef's

a fickle little fellow.

Wait. You didn't
tell Elena

what we you did
to Stefan?

Tell me what?

Well, Silas needed
his psychic juju

to get into
Tessa's head,

and the only way
to temporarily reactivate

his ability was to
break Stefan's neck

a couple times.

As if he didn't
hate us enough.

Damon, oh, God.
I'm going over there.

She should really.

Tessa's
bad business.

No. Just let Stefan
have his space.

It's like you said,
he's already mad enough.

Sounds like he's
more mad at you.

Maybe he and I can find
some common ground.

Knock, knock.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?

The mayor.
The mayor who?

Well, who?

No one.
That's the joke.

No one's there
because I killed the mayor.

You're a dick.

Subject 62547.

Blood film analysis.

Cellular growth rate
is phenomenal.

As expected...

What are you
doing here?

Well, if it isn't
Stefan's fated love.

Where is he?

Come on in.

Who am I to stand
in the way of destiny?

Elena.

You shouldn't have
walked through that door.

I'm really sorry.

I wouldn't have let
Damon do what he did to you.

Sure you would have.

You have this
annoying tendency

to do anything
he tells you to do.

I'm no shrink, but I think it's
called codependence.

Look. I get that
you're upset with us

for pretty much everything,

but do you really think
that sleeping with Tessa

is gonna solve
anything?

Who said I was
sleeping with Tessa?

I am so bad
with messages.

Oh, look!
Elena called.

She's wondering
why you're here.

I may have
embellished for effect.

Ok. I just came by
to make sure that

she hadn't done some,
like, "Fatal Attraction" spell on you,

but now that I know
that you're good,

I'm gonna go.

Yeah. You really
shouldn't have come inside.

Thank God.

How do you it, Damon?

How you can stand
being here

while your girlfriend
sits at home

worrying about her
doppelganger soul mate?

It's called
being secure.

I'm assuming you know
a little bit about that

by the way
you wear your hair.

Please don't tell me
you believe

in this doppelganger
prophecy crap.

Crap? What do you
mean crap?

Do you not notice
the universe trying to mirror my love

for Amara
by bringing

our doppelgangers
together?

You do realize
that by destroying the other side

that you are personally moving
heaven and earth to be together?

That's not fate,
you idiot.

It's you being
a crazy person.

Ok. Where
is this stupid anchor thing?

I have no idea.

What do you mean
you have no idea?

Give me some credit, man.

I did psychically dive
into Tessa's mind

to see this
specific warehouse.

What does it
look like?

Again, I have no idea.

Tessa created it
after she locked me away

in a tomb
for 2,000 years

and left me to starve.

Remember?
Remote island,

creepy hallucinations?

Wait. You don't know
where it is

or what it looks like?

It binds a spell
to a supernatural hell dimension.

It's not gonna look like
a freaking Ikea sink.

What did you
inject him with?

I don't know.
It just said avoid contact with eyes

and do not ingest.

Oops.

That's etorphine.

There you go.

What are you doing,
Elena?

We're draining
the vervained blood

out of your system
so I can compel you

to forget that Elena and I
are vampires.

Wait. What?
You'll kill me!

Shh. I'm just--I'm trying
to do some math. Ok.

So if the average male has
5 liters of blood in his system...

That's about right.

Then carry the one.

Just round up.

Perfect! 4.7 pints.

Should I use
the right arm of the left arm?

Untie me.
I'll find the vein myself.

You will kill me.

Give me.
It's not my first rodeo.

Can you give me one of those
tubing thingies and, um, some tape?

Oh, my God. It's
totally working.

Ta-da.

So...

Doctor...

You tell me...

Who else knows
about us?

If you were willing
to kill me,

you wouldn't have gone
through all this trouble.

You should have left
when I told you to.

They're on to you.

Who's they?

The people you want
to expose us to,

that secret society
thingie that you belong to?

There's a gathering
today at Whitmore house.

The society's using it
to suss out potential candidates.

They were going to
invite you

until they started
suspecting you were a vampire.

So all I have to do
is convince them

that Elena Gilbert
isn't a vampire?

Done.

They'll never
let you in,

and a vampire can never
get past the threshold.

What did that crate
do to you?

Bonnie, what are you
doing here?

Didn't want to miss
the excitement.

It's not every day
a girl comes back from the dead.

Don't jinx it.

I'm not jinxing it.

I'm being realistic.

It's not a dime store
spell, jer.

When I brought you back,
it killed me, remember?

What I meant was it's just--
it's not something

I'm gonna count on, ok?

Not ok.

Have some faith.

If you believe
that it can work

and I believe
it can work,

then it will work.

Just say it.
You need to say it.

It will work.

Thank you.

Jer, just so we're clear,

I would die 100 times over

just to have you
standing here alive

in front of me.

Before today
is over...

We're gonna know
what...that...

Feels like.

Quit dawdling.

We have to find
this thing

before the Travelers
show up.

Why are they so interested
in this anchor?

They hate me
for creating

the immortality spell,

and they know
The Anchor's the only thing

standing in between
me and my soul mate,

and every love story
needs that one thing

that just keeps
getting in the way.

Kind of like you, Damon.

You know, you might be
an all-powerful witch--

is that what you
called it?

Yeah.

But I will happily
kill you if you keep that up.

Oh, no, you won't,

not until I bring
your girlfriend's bestie back.

Well, isn't this
a pleasant surprise?

You ain't seen
nothing yet.

Since I'm occupied
at the moment,

I need you to go ahead
and kill Silas for me.

Gladly, but he's
such a control freak

that he wants to
off himself himself.

You mean, after he
destroys the other side?

Yeah. That's not
gonna happen,

plus I want him dead
before he has the pleasure

of finding The Anchor.

Yeah. I'm not
following.

Kill him now.

Damon!

Did I mention I lured
your girlfriend here to me.

I used the oldest trick
in the book--jealousy

of Stefan!

Thought you should know.

Aah! Aah!

Tessa!

Stop. Stop it!

Aah! Aah!

Aaaaah!

I can't kill him yet.
He has to do something for me first.

Is that something
more important than Elena?

Because Silas put
a spell on this house

and bound it to the sun,

which means
we're trapped here

until sundown,

which means you have
until then to kill Silas,

or I kill Elena.

With a face like Amara's,

it might be cathartic.

Bye now.

Whoa. Wait!

Miss Gilbert.

You know me?

I'm Diane Freeman.

We met the night
your roommate died.

Of course.
Crazy night.

Anyway, I am here
for the shindig.

I didn't realize
you'd be joining us.

Did I forget
to RSVP?

Oh, sorry.

I've just been
so busy with my studies.

We just started
the tea.

Got any food?

Mmm.

What?

Are you
the sandwich police?

Just trying to
figure out

why Wes told me to
stay away from you.

Do I know you?

Aaron.
We met yesterday.

You changed
your hair. It's...

Aaron. Duh. Hi.

So what are you
doing here?

Are you part of...

The secret society?

The what?

You know...

The society.

I still have
no idea.

Either you're
genuinely clueless,

or you're very good
at keeping secrets.

Is that your tooth?

No.

What is
happening to me?

Ahem.

Look at all
the incredible things

they've dreamt up
to do with food.

Pineapple on pizza?

Hmm.

So sad. Let me guess.
Gluten-free?

How did you
get here?

Excuse me?

Here, alive,
from the other side.

How did you
come back to life?

Oh, yeah. That.
You can blame

your friend Bonnie
for that.

She opened the door
and then distracted herself

when she brought
your little brother back to life,

so I just walked
right through

when she died.

Well, today, Silas
was gonna bring her back to life

after he got
The Anchor,

but you told
my boyfriend,

who has never put
anyone's life before mine,

including his own,
to kill Silas

before he could
do that.

So, no, I'm not sad
about the pizza.

Look. Why don't we
forget about the pizza?

What do you say
I make something?

Ok.

Roasted duck.

Ooh.

Wait. Do you
have a duck?

No, but maybe I can
lure one inside.

Got Elena in.

How much smarter
could a duck be?

Go for it.

All right.
Ha ha!

We can't kill Silas.

Silas is the only one
that can bring Bonnie back,

and he's not gonna
bring her back

until right before
he destroys the other side.

Yeah? Well, Tessa
wants to do it now.

Something tells me
patience isn't her strong suit.

Damon, you promised.

You promised Elena
that she would see Bonnie again.

You don't think
I'm aware of that?

But if Tessa kills Elena,
guess who's not gonna

make it to Bonnie's
welcome home party.

Plan's off, Jeremy.

Bonnie's not
coming back. Sorry.

It's ok, Jeremy.

Bonnie...

She's my sister.

Jeremy Gilbert,
do you not know me at all?

Is there a part of you that thinks
for one minute

that I'd let one
of my friends die

just so I could
come back to life?

I'm dead, jer,

and as much as I
want to come back,

maybe I'm just
supposed to accept it.

We were so close.

I know we were.

Go help him
kill Silas.

Sul opreem
chele kouzlo.

I've met a lot
of witches in my day.

Never quite heard
that one before.

Let me guess. Travelers.

Sul opreem
chele kouzlo.

Sul opreem chele kouzlo.

Sul opreem
chele kouzlo.

Sul opreem chele kouzlo.

Sul opreem
chele kouzlo.

Aah!

Sul opreem
chele kouzlo.

Sul opreem chele kouzlo.

Sul opreem
chele kouzlo.

Why do you witches
always go

for the daylight ring?

I was about to do your
little eurotribe a favor.

I want to kill Silas, too.

That's the problem.

We don't want him
dead yet.

Well, that's not gonna
work for me.

You're oddly calm,

which only adds
to my complete and utter terror.

Sorry. I spaced.

You spaced?

Caroline, I would
have bled to death.

You know what?

I just broke up
with my boyfriend for good.

My heart is in pieces.

Sue me for having
a moment.

My apologies.
Is the moment over?

Yes, it is.

Now answer my questions
truthfully.

What is
the secret society?

It's called
Augustine.

Augustine?

I've never
heard of it.

That's
the whole point.

And how do you
become a member?

Most recruits
are legacies,

but some of us
were chosen

for our extraordinary
talents.

And what is your
extraordinary talent?

Being brilliant.

Not to mention that
you're willing to lie on autopsy reports

like my roommate's.

You knew that she was
killed by a vampire.

Is that why you
covered up her death?

No. I covered up
her death

because it wasn't
just any vampire.

It was
the Augustine vampire.

Hang on. Ok.
So your creepy elitist society

also has their own
vampire?

Who is it?

Wes, you in there?

It's Diane Freeman.

You were wrong.
Elena Gilbert and I aren't vampires.

We're just
regular freshmen.

You're light-headed
because you gave blood this morning.

Forget everything
that happened here.

Wes?

So you are here.

Of course I'm here.
Why?

Because it's 5:00.

You missed
the Whitmore party.

What?

I was working.

The day must have
gotten away from me.

That's not all
you missed.

Guess who I watched
strut right through the front door.

Elena Gilbert.
Clearly not a vampire.

What made you so
convinced she was?

I...

have no idea.

I guess I was wrong.

Try this and let me
know what you think.

All right.

Mmm. It's good.

Yeah?
Yeah.

All right.

Ok. I get it.

You hate me.

You may not have
any memories, Stefan,

but I do.

This person, she's
not the type of person

that you would like.

That's not very nice,

especially considering
I've allowed you

to remain alive
until sundown.

Oh. Almost sundown.

Elena, don't say a word.

I got this.

I know you think
that I hate you, but I don't.

I won't let her hurt you,
I promise.

Why isn't he
picking up for--

what?

Is he dead yet?

There you are.
Man up. We're under attack.

No. He's not
dead yet.

I was just ambushed
by some of your inbred cousins.

Any idea why Travelers
who hate Silas

would want to stop me
from killing him?

They probably want
his blood.

For what?

Silas drank the cure
from Katherine.

Now his blood
is the cure.

But they're not immortal,

so who do they
want it for?

Think about it,
Damon.

The Travelers aren't
fans of immortality,

and I had to bind
the other side to something,

something that would
last forever,

something that Silas
couldn't destroy.

What, his favorite
childhood sled?

Something a little
closer to his heart.

2,000 years old,
immortal,

indestructible.

You're a quick boy,
Damon.

Figure it out.

Unh!

Elena, run!

Aah!

No way.

What?

Not possible.

What?

Tessa may be insane,
but she's a bona fide genius.

2,000 years old,
immortal, indestructible.

The Anchor isn't a thing.

It's a person.

Amara.

She never killed Amara.

You're still alive.

Amara...

It's me.

You're ok.

Go away, go away.

Go away.
Leave me alone.

No, no, no.
It's ok.

Who are you
talking to, huh?

It's me, it's me.

Silas.

It's me.

Silas, how are you here?

After all this time...

How are you here?

I thought you
were dead.

Tessa said she
killed you.

She held your heart
in her hands.

She lied.
She shouldn’t kill me.

There was only one cure.

She wanted it for you.

I took it.
I'm sorry.

I wanted to be
with you.

I wanted to be
at peace with you.

The cure runs
in your veins.

I was ready
to die for you.

I love you, Silas.

I'm so sorry.

I have to be cured.

I can't live
another day.

Elena Gilbert,
what brings you by?

How'd you get this?

Mystery.

I listened
to about half

before I nearly
blew my brains out

from boredom

except for the part
about your subject's

blood being
abnormal.

That part was
mildly interesting.

Well, thanks
for returning it.

Now that subject,
62547, right,

is that
the Augustine vampire?

I think you
should go.

Heh. And do what,

sprinkle all of your
dirty little secrets across campus,

like Augustine

and all the vampire
experiments

that you've
been doing?

Come on, Dr. Wes.

Aren't you supposed
to be some sort of genius?

I'm sure we can
come up with some

creative solution
for our little predicament.

I have to say

if I wasn't
such a genius,

I might actually think
you were blackmailing me, Elena.

Actually, my name's
Katherine.

Elena's my
doppelganger,

and while I let you
chew on that...

I'll admit there is
something

that I can't solve
on my own.

Is that a tooth?

It's my tooth.

I think I'm dying,
and I need you to save my life.

Stop talking.

It's not up to you.

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Please leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

Are you real?

Are you?

Well, uh, have
a good night.

Yeah.

It's weird.

Even with no memory,
you're...Still you.

Well, Tessa was
gonna kill you,

and you don't
seem like you deserve that,

so I was just
going on instinct, that's all.

Exactly. That's
what I'm saying.

Your instincts were
always to protect me,

so thank you for--
for just being you.

Well, have
a good night.

Stefan Salvatore sleeps
in his own bed tonight.

Does that mean he
stopped hating us,

or did the power
of the fated doppelganger universe

push him into the car
with you?

Well, he, uh, saved
my life,

so I'll take that
as not hate.

Victory in a day
otherwise marred by failure.

Tch.

We couldn't get
Bonnie back.

I get a pass.

Did I say anything?

Tell her it's
for the best, jer.

No. No, I won't
because it's not.

What?

Bonnie's here.

She wants us
not to worry.

We're gonna keep trying,
Bonnie, ok?

It's not over.

We've dealt
with much worse.

Well, Silas is M.I.A.
and out and about,

which is pretty bad,

and Amara's been cured,

which is even worse

because now she's
easy to kill,

so the fate
of the other side,

where Bonnie
currently resides,

rests on a living,
breathing human being

that we now need
to protect.

We need to protect?

Elena, meet
crazy pants.

Crazy pants,
meet Elena.

Aah!

What are you
doing here?

Do you have any idea
what it's like

watching history
repeat itself?

You're hurt.
I can heal you.

No, no.
I want this wound.

It's a reminder
of what you really are.

See, memories are
important.

I made a mistake
when I found you.

I eased your pain.

You used to have
a lot of pain.

Remember?

Ugh!

You killed
your own father...

And then forced your brother to
become a vampire.

And now
I can't fight it.

And that was just
the start of your reign of terror.

You hated yourself
for a century,

but then you found her.

I'm Elena.

I'm Stefan.

Didn't last
very long, did it?

Stop it.
Stop it, please.

But the ending's
the best part

because you actually
felt real pain,

physical pain,
torture.

Remember?

Hello,
my shadow self.

You were trapped
in a safe

and tossed in a quarry.

Water flooded in.

You tried to scream,
you tried to escape,

but all you could do
was drown

over and over
and over again.

The only thing
keeping you sane

was that one day
one of the two people you loved...

Would come rescue you,
but they didn't.

I did.

Always remember that.
