The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 6, Episode 22 - I'm Thinking of You All the While - full transcript

Previously
on "The Vampire Diaries"...

The cure to vampirism.

You're gonna take
the cure, Elena,

and I'm gonna take it with you.

- It's not healing.
- It worked.

The smallest chance
at the perfect life

with you is
infinitely better than

an immortal one without you.

I made a list of all
the things that

I've done since I fell for you.

Because you're a control
freak who's lost control.



That's what falling
for somebody is.

Control is all I have,

and I don't think that
I can give that up.

Bonnie!

Before the 1900s,
Lily fell in

with a group of witches
that were cast out

of the Gemini coven...

Vampires with witch power.

They can never be allowed
to escape.

It's time we get the hell
out of this place.

Welcome to the wedding
of Alaric Salzman

and Josette Laughlin.

Oh, God.

Aah!



Miss me?

What are you doing?

Waiting for you.

On the ground
where we first met?

Ahh.

I'm feeling symbolic.

It's bad, isn't it?

I believe you owe me
a dance, miss Gilbert.

Damon, just tell me.

How bad is it?

Dance with me, please, Elena.

Elena!

Come on, Elena.
Hey. Wake up.

Elena.

Agh!

Oh, God.

Somebody, please help me.

Kai!

Come on.
Just drink.

No. No.

Stefan. Stefan!

She won't wake up.

Oh, my God.

She won't wake up.
I don't understand.

Just get her
to the hospital now.

Yeah.

She's human.
What if she doesn't...

Nothing personal,
but this is a family matter now.

Tsk. Oh.

Let me guess.
Prison world?

I mean, you can't kill me,
or else you all die, too, right?

Ohh. Ohh.

Hey. I'm sorry
about your twinsies.

I just don't feel like
competing for leadership

with future Gemini twins.

See...

When your family decides

that you're nothing but an
irredeemable piece of trash,

well...

Guess the best thing to do
is prove them right, right?

This ought to do it.

No!

You're going easy on me.
Come on.

This is supposed to
be a special moment.

Yeah. No.
I can't do this.

Don't do that.

Don't give up like that.

Why not?

I have nothing left
to fight for.

Damon!

Ah. Bonnie Bennett.

You have no idea how good it is
to hear your voice right now.

Damon, Kai's out.

I know.
I'm glad you're safe.

I was worried Kai
already got to you.

He did, and I don't know how,
but I'm still alive.

He drained my blood,
and that's all.

That's not all.

He was at the wedding.

Jo's dead. He killed her.

Oh, my God.

And Elena got knocked out,
and she's not waking up.

The doctors keep telling me

there's nothing
physically wrong with her.

I don't know what to do, Bon.

Stay there, ok?
I'm coming.

Good. You're up.

Sorry to be indecorous,

but you were both
solidly unconscious

when I pulled you
from the wedding mayhem.

Where are we going?
Elena!

Elena is in the hospital
with Damon.

Kai is dead,

and all the Geminis are
going down with him,

and I grabbed the two of you
to help me deal

with a bigger problem.

There's a bigger problem?!

Valerie, Malcolm?

Get in the car, please.

1702 route 12.

That's... that's
where we are, right?

I mean,
I read the map very carefully.

He... he said they
would be here.

They're probably scared
out of their minds.

Who are you talking about?

My friends.

Kai brought them back
when he escaped that prison.

They're here somewhere.

He lied to you.
There's nobody out he.

You made a deal
with a sociopath,

and now a lot
of people are dead.

You're wasting your time!

Where's my daughter?

Liv!

Oh, Tyler!

Oh, God, no.

This can't be happening.

Oh, God.

What's happening to me?

Kai's dead, Liv.

I heard the screaming.

Your dad, your coven,
they're all in there,

dying, which means...

No. No. No.

I love you, Liv.

You need to know that

if this has to be it for us.

No. You're not dying,
not after everything.

You're not dying, Tyler.

It's a full moon.

If you turn, it will heal you.

You have to.

No. I'm not triggering it.

You once told me
that I gave you a second chance,

and you promised me
that you wouldn't waste it.

I love you.

Let me do this for you.

Agh!

Don't waste it.

I love you.

Nooo!

Come on. Answer.

Unh! Agh! Err!

Answer damn it

Ty?

Matt, listen to me.

You have to tell every... ohh!

- Ty, what's wrong?
- I triggered my curse.

No.

Tell every vampire
to steer clear of me.

I don't know if I'll be able to control
who I go after,

and my bite will kill them.

Ugh! Aah! Aah!

Let me guess...
Not there either.

Did you come all
this way to mock me?

No. I came here to put you back
in your cell where you belong.

Do I look like a ripper, Stefan?

I've said repeatedly
that the hope

of being reunited with my family

is enough to overcome the urges.

Would you please just stop
it with the word family?

They're just a bunch
of random people

that you happened to sire.

We spent a century
and a half together.

We're loyal to each other.

Our relationship is
a deeper bond

than I have ever known.

What other word would I use?

Lily, you either come
with me right now,

or you're out of my life.

Do you understand me?
Your son.

I'm sorry.

Malcolm, are you here,
sweetheart?

What did you give Kai?

I thought you were leaving.

Tell me what you
gave Kai in return

for your family.

I gave him my blood.

Unh! Ahh.

Ahh.

Vodux.

Here's to being different, dad.

Ohh.

Bad time?

Freaky, right?

I turned myself into one
of Lily's heretics.

It's really incredible actually.

I can literally siphon
the magic of my vampirism

and convert it into more magic.

Ooh. Looks like somebody's
having a very bad day.

Motus!

Bad doggie.

Here. Say it.

No. I'm not doing this.

Fine. I'll say it.

Here lies Elena Gilbert,

a fun girlfriend
and an amazing friend.

Ha!

I'm glad one of us can
find humor in this.

I have to find
humor in this, Matt,

because the alternative...

The alternative would
be to say good-bye,

and I'm just...

I'm not ready for that yet.

Bonnie, let's go.
We got to get to the hospital.

What's wrong?

What is that?

I found it in the kitchen.

All this time travel's been
hard on the camera, bon.

There it is.

Yay! You saw the post-it!

This message will self-destruct

in 10 seconds.

Ha ha ha! Kidding.

Anyhoo, you're probably
wondering why you're still alive

since I should have bled you out

one painful ounce at a time.

I mean, that's what
you deserved.

You left me behind in 1903,

which I did not appreciate,

but I guess you forgot
about that old Canadian rock

filled with Bennett blood.

Anyway, even though I got out,

I kind of just want to
make you suffer

in new... and if I may
say so myself...

Totally inspired ways.

What is this?

Keep watching.

What's happening to me?

Oh. You didn't happen to pet

a fuzzy, 4-legged,
vampire-killing machine, did you?

How do I fix it?

Easy. There's a cure
in New Orleans.

I'll go get it for you.

Just tell me what
you did to Elena.

Oh, I can't do that. Heh.

Oh.

One thing you're not gonna do...

You're not gonna mess with me.

I am in a very volatile
place right now,

and I will start
beheading people

that I don't like,
starting with you,

if she doesn't wake up.

So what did you do
to my damn girlfriend?

It's just not as threatening

when I'm seeing, like,
4 superblurry versions of you.

Heh heh.

Fix her! I know it's a spell!

She's in perfect health.

And she'll stay
that way until she wakes.

Young, beautiful
human Elena Gilbert,

preserved in this moment
indefinitely.

So, Bonster,

I linked Elena's life to yours.

The rule is as long
as you're alive,

Elena will remain asleep.

Oh, my God.

Please tell me you didn't.

Oh, I totally did.

Oh, and... oh, and please
don't go looking

for some weird
witchy work-around

because, as the incredibly
powerful leader of the Geminis,

I rigged this so that
if you do try to outsmart it

both you and Elena
will die instantly.

I guess what I'm trying
to say is

your betrayal
really hurt me, Bon,

so this is kind of
all your fault.

You have to get out
town now, Bon.

I'm not letting Kai win.

Bon, Elena's the only thing
that Damon Salvatore cares about.

He'll kill you.

You have to get out of here now.

Damon, think about it.

Every day that you wake up
without Elena in your arms,

you'll have the burning
desire to kill Bonnie.

Of course, you could
just get it over with

and kill her now,

but Elena will probably
never speak to you again.

Agh!

Hang on. Hang on.
I just...

I just need two seconds. Heh.

Well, you are the one
who chose a 5-mile hike

to say good-bye to me.

This isn't good-bye, Stefan.

Besides, this hike
is where I told you

I didn't want to be a vampire.

I thought it would
be fitting considering.

Because you're
a weak human again?

You knew that I never
wanted to be a vampire,

even before we took our
first steps up that mountain.

You just wanted to hear
me say it out loud.

Well, a lot of good that did.

I guess what I'm
trying to say is that

you knew me better than anyone.

You always have, which is why

you already know
how impossible it is

for me to...

To find the words
to say good-bye.

Don't.

I can't do this,
not... not now, not ever.

- Where's Damon?
- Bonnie tracked Kai.

He went to go beat the
sleeping spell out of him.

Stefan, this whole
thing with Elena,

if they can't break the spell,

are you gonna be ok?

- Are you?
- Of course not,

but when she wakes up,
she'll still be my best friend,

after Bonnie's lived a long
and happy life. Heh.

But you... you were soul mates,

and I want to make
sure that you're ok.

I don't think Elena necessarily

came into my life
to be my soul mate.

I mean, she was.

We loved each other,

but she was also the only person

I've ever met
who actually believed

that my brother was
worth loving,

and she reminded me
that I used to

believe that about him, too,

and her faith in him,

it brought Damon and me
back together,

and, yeah, I... I loved her

more than I ever thought
I could love somebody else,

but I think in the end

I needed him more than
I needed her.

Is that why...

You feel you need to
stay away from me?

Is it because you think
that I haven't moved on?

S... no. Stefan, I...

I'm sure it sounds like I'm
making a million excuses,

but you and I...

I can't do this right now.
I'm sorry.

Hello!

Anyone still alive, hmm?

Anyone alive,
just raise your hand.

I need blood.

You need
more than blood.

Maybe some ointment.

'Cause gross.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Do your friends
think you're funny?

Because maybe if you were funny,

if you were the one
with the good jokes,

who they could always count
on to make them laugh,

maybe they'd be cool
with letting you live

instead of Elena.

You're right. So the sick
humor's your thing.

I'm just the one
that does magic.

Ohh!

Motus!

Undo the spell, Kai!

I can't.

What's done is done.

Ossox!

Agh!

Again!

Agh! Unh!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ohh. Ohh. Ugh.

I can't undo the spell, Bonnie.

My death made it permanent.

Fine. I'll just wait
for the werewolf bite

to kill you.

You know what's funny?

I didn't even know
werewolves were real

until I got bit by one.

The thing is, Bon,

the only way a guy
turns into a wolf

is if it's magic, right,

so technically,
their venom's magic, too.

So I just went ahead
and siphoned it up.

No, no.

Motus.

Just dance with me.

This was supposed
to be our big night.

Tell me, Damon.

I can see it all over your face.

How bad is it?

Kai linked you to Bonnie.

You won't wake up
until she dies.

What?!

He won, Elena.

What are you gonna do?

Damon.

Damon?

- Bonnie.
- Damon.

Hey.

How dumb are you?

I deliver you a
dying Bonnie Bennett

on a silver platter,
and... whoosh...

Right over your head.

Damon.

You're ok.

Damon.

Uh, translation...
She's about to croak.

Damon.

Of course, you don't
have to help her.

You could just walk away.

She dies of a collapsed lung,

no blood on your hands,

and you and Elena get
to live the life

you always dreamed of.

Either way, you better
act quick.

I'm so sorry, Bonnie.

Damon.

That's it?
He just left you?

The whole point was that
this would torture him

for a while.

I mean, you'd think he'd
at least flip a coin...

Heads, he picks you,
tails, he picks...

Heads it is.

You think I was gonna
leave you all alone, huh?

No way.

I'm not out
of nicknames for you yet.

Come on.

Ok. Let's do this.
You two are up first.

It's easy, Bon.

We just take her hand...

Close your eyes...

And let her into your thoughts.

Are we seriously
having a sleepover?

Come on! Hurry up
and get in here.

I'm the one who gets
to see her again.

I mean, you should get
the better good-bye.

Oh, Care.
Come here.

Take care of everyone
while I'm gone, ok?

I will.

I promise.

Promise me something,
both of you.

Write it all down,
everything that you

accomplish in your lives,
every crush,

when you fall in love,
when you start a family,

every time you fantasize
about wanting to kill Damon.

Ha ha ha!

Write it down

so that one day when I wake up

I can read all about
my best friends' lives

and feel like I was there.

I'm so sorry, Elena.

Really, I'm so sorry.

This isn't your fault.

Hey.

We'll both get everything
that we want.

We just can't have it
at the same time.

Aw.

Hey.

Bonnie Bennett,

you have spent your entire life
making sacrifices for me.

Now it's my turn
to do it for you.

I just have one more
favor to ask.

- Ok.
- Ok.

Heh heh.

Can you do it one last time?

There. I did it.
Are you happy?

Very.

Now it's your turn to be.

So I'm a cop, huh?

That's my hope for you, Matt.

In our crazy lives together,

you've always stayed the same...

Human, loyal,

and good.

My hope is that you spend
the rest of your life

fighting for people
like you.

You know, there's a good chance
that I'll never see you again.

Matt.

Look at everything that the
two of us have survived.

I like our odds.

Elena, voice-over: You're gonna
think that the pain will never end,

but it will,

but first, you have
to let it all in.

You can't fight it.

It's bigger than you.

You have to let
yourself drown in it,

but then eventually,
you'll start to swim,

and every single breath
that you fight for

will make you stronger.

And I promise
that you will beat it.

Alaric.

Jeremy.

I... I tried to be here sooner.

I wanted to be here
for the wedding.

I'm glad you weren't.

You made it!

Yeah.
3 canceled flights.

I could have walked here faster.

Oh, and I was doing
so well. Ha ha!

I'm sorry.

I wanted to at least
pretend to be strong for you.

Hey. When you do wake up,

I want you to know
that I spent my life

doing exactly what
I felt I was born to do.

I was happy.

So where are we
in this vision of yours?

Not here.
Not in Mystic Falls.

You need to get out
of here, Tyler.

You need to figure out
what it is you want to do,

who you want to be,

and then just really
fight for it.

You're gonna be fine, Tyler.

You're a wolf now.

Embrace it.
Don't fight it.

Let it be the thing that
makes you extraordinary.

Thank you for bumping into me
that day in the hallway.

I thought I would
never be happy again,

and then... and then I met you.

You changed everything for me.

You... you quite
literally saved my life.

I love you so much,

which is why I can't
wait to find out

what new life you...
You've chosen for yourself

in 60 or 70 years
when I see you again.

I can guarantee it
won't be high school.

Just be happy.

I'll see you soon.

I'll see you, Elena.

Lorenzo.

You came back.

You must think me
such a monster.

We're all monsters
in some way, I suppose.

My life before my friends
was misery.

Even as a mother, a... a wife,

I never felt whole,

but then I found these people,

and, uh, I felt
a part of something.

Can you understand
that just a little?

I can because I've
been searching

for that my whole life.

What is it?

That building.

It wasn't there last night.

Kai must have had this cloaked.

When he died... heh.

It can't be!

Lorenzo...

It's our family.

You think she'll be safe here?

If word gets out that
her body has the cure inside,

every vampire
who wants to be a human

will come busting in
through that door.

Bonnie will spell it shut.

We're under strict orders
not to open it for anyone.

I guess that means that...

That means it's time
for me to say good-bye.

You could have just
told me what to do.

I knew what you
were going to do.

You knew that the evil,
selfish Damon Salvatore

would give up
the love of his life

to save her best friend?

I knew that the love of my life

would stand by his best friend

even if it meant having to live
without me for a little while.

Things are gonna be
awfully dull around here

without you.

No, they're not, Damon,
because you're not gonna

sit around waiting for me.

I was thinking of doing
the starvation diet

because desiccation
makes the time go faster.

Damon, this isn't gonna
work if you just shut down.

I need you to live your life,

enjoy yourself.

I want you to be happy.

Now how about that dance?

Yesterday, you
told me you made a list

of all the ways that loving
me has ruined your life,

and I get it.

I haven't made it easy on you...

But I made a list, too,

of all the ways that loving you
has changed mine.

You were by my side
when I needed a friend.

You made me laugh,

you made me dance.

You told me that
I would find love again...

And I understand
if you need time to heal

and to live your life
without me,

and I understand
if I have to wait for you,

and I will.

I'll wait,

and when you're ready for me,

I will be ready for you.

Are you ready for this?

Ready to spend the next 60 years
of my life without you in it?

Who's ever gonna be
ready for that?

I love you, Damon Salvatore.

I love you, too.
