The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 7, Episode 2 - Never Let Me Go - full transcript

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...

Kai: As long as you're alive,
Elena will remain asleep.

Man: Once you bury a body,
the grieving process begins.

Oh, I'm not planning
on burying her.

I'm planning on bringing
her back to life.

- Caroline: Who's that?
- That's my mother.

Lily fell in with
a group of witches.

Heretics are ruthless,
vampires with witch power.

Enough.

Stefan: The whole town
would have been slaughtered.

Pack your things.
Your family's not safe here.



Bonnie: Surrendering the town
is not a solution.

The deal has been made.

We don't mess them them,
they don't mess with us.

Damon: My mother is a lunatic,

and everyone's too
scared to stop her.

I want to fight.
I want our town back.

[Growling]

No.

Who did this?
Who took him from us?

Someone killed Malcolm,
and it got me thinking

that if I want
people to trust me,

then I've got to earn it.

I reckon it goes without
saying I chose Lily.

Ok, people.
We go live in 30,



so I need that media package
done 15 minute ago.

Where are my graphics
and b-roll?

- Jamie, we're good on music, right?
- Jamie: Yeah. We're good.

- Uh, excuse me, Caroline.
- Yeah.

Uh, your fiancé just called.

What? He knows that I'm working.

That's why he didn't
ask to talk to you.

Uh, he's being sneaky, but...

But your paycheck comes from me,

and you know how much
I hate surprises. Spill.

He's curious
what your schedule is

- right before the wedding.
- Why?

I think he wants to plan
a trip to a Mystic Falls.

But he knows
that we can't go back there.

Um, I will

handle this later.

Thanks, Tony.
Mm-hmm.

Woman: Are both cameras on?

Man: First one's on,
and second one is rolling.

Ha ha! Ha!

So a few weeks ago,
the town of Mystic Falls

was completely evacuated.

The story is
that some natural gas leak

made it all uninhabitable,

but there's been
so many rumors, whispers,

and just strange things
happening in the night,

unexplainable things.

Woman: Ok. Tone it down, "Blair Witch."

Let's see. What'd you
bring me, huh?

Full-spectrum light, EMF meter,

and a thermal camera,

courtesy of Uncle Fred's graduation money.

Look how hot you are.

You're hilarious.

Ok, so this thing's
supposed to beep

if there's some spirit

or something
supernatural present.

You get this thing off
an infomercial or something?

[Beeping]

Wait. It's working.

Whoa.

It's creepy but kind of awesome.

[Beep]

[Banging]

It won't open.
No lock. It's just stuck.

[Beep]

Looks like there's a coffin
in there or something.

Amanda...

It's not working.

Amanda...
What?

There's something behind you.

Are you really
trying to scare me?

Aah!
Amanda.

Amanda.

Amanda: Ryan, help.

[Women giggling]

[Amanda wheezing]

Ryan: It's ok.
I'll get help, ok?

I'll be back.
I...

[Screaming]

Much better
than those blood bags.

[Ryan screaming]

No screaming, please.

How do you know how
to work that device?

I don't, but if these two could,

I'm sure it's idiotproof.

[Shotgun cocks]

Matt: Let him go.

Mystic Falls is ours now.

So is any human
who steps foot inside it.

I said, let him go.

Aagh! Uh...

Uh!

[Matt inhales]

[Exhales]

Uh...

Alaric: I want to talk
about death.

More specifically, I want to
talk about what happens after.

Now, I'm not going to pretend
like my good looks

are the reason
this class is so full.

[Laughter]

I've heard the same stories
you have about Mystic Falls...

Ghost sightings, poltergeists...

Man: Zombies.
[Laughter]

Zombies.

Now let's talk about it.

What's behind
all of these stories?

Now, almost every single
culture has the lore

of a creature
or being that cheats death.

Why do our brains
insist on inventing

the most unbelievable things?

It's because
the reality of death

is actually the most
unbelievable thing of all.

Now, the most terrifying thing
that you're going to encounter

in Mystic Falls
is a trespassing ticket.

[Laughter]

Ok, so everyone just stay out.

So the great Mystic Falls
evacuation plan

isn't going as well
as everyone hoped.

Heh. Well, they turned
it into a ghost town.

That part worked.

Unfortunately for us,
ghost towns are like

amusement parks
for college kids.

The heretics have killed
10 people already...

Two last night,

idiots looking
for a ghost selfie.

Are you ok?

Damon told me what you
were doing in Europe.

Losing my money and my sanity

to a series of con artists?

Yeah.

Don't worry.
I'm over it.

It's ok if you're not, Ric.

Heck, I'm a little offended
you didn't come to me first.

What, you wouldn't
think it's weird that

I'm trying to contact my fiancée

who's been dead for months?

Honestly, after everything
we've experienced,

it'd be weird if you weren't.

Hey, Bonnie...

Have you ever heard
of the Phoenix stone?

Stefan: Caroline,
haven't heard from you.

I'm starting to think that maybe
you're just using me

for random,
hot make-out sessions,

which I'm not
entirely opposed to,

but, uh, give me call.

[Beep]

[Tires screech]

Can I help you?

It's ok.
I speak mute.

Just communicate what you want

with a series of grunts.

Ah!

[High-frequency tone]

Ah!

Lily: You'll have
to excuse Beau.

He's not in the mood
for glib jokes.

None of us are, actually.

[Panting]

I thought we had a deal.

Yeah. We do.

Otherwise, I would be at home,

not out patrolling
the streets to keep humans

out of your minion's fangs.

We found Malcolm in
the towns square last night,

his heart removed.

You didn't know.

No. I didn't because
we didn't do it.

I'm not here to
blame you, Stefan.

I came so you'd understand

why we did what we had to do.

What did you do?

[Sizzling]

[Caroline moaning]

Sorry, luv.

This will only hurt
for a second.

Ugh! What the hell
is wrong with you?

Someone killed Malcolm.

Lily needed to retaliate.

Ooh! It's strange.
You don't look like Lily.

Yeah. Well, it's all in
the lighting, darling.

Look. Be happy I'm the one
who grabbed you.

Don't even want to think
of what would happened

if the others did.

I am the closest thing
you have to a friend in here.

Well, fun tip... friends
don't really like

to be tied up with vervain rope.

Hush now.
Deep breath.

Oh! Uhh...

There you are.

Enzo, please.

This hurts really, really bad.

[Panting]

Oh, God, I hate whiners.

Agh...

Uh!

Oh...

Now...

Deep breath.

Ugh!

Leaving so soon?

Oh!

I'm wearing your jacket,

though it's a little
large on me.

Enzo: It's all right, you two.
I've got her.

Do you?

Because it certainly
doesn't look like it.

What's that expression?
Finders keepers.

[Whispers chant]

Damon: Just so we're clear,
I'm taking the master bedroom.

Carol Lockwood and I had
a little thing.

I think she'd want me
to have it.

[Sniffs]

Let's open some windows, too.

Reeks of dog in here,
which is impressive,

considering Tyler's been
with Jeremy for months.

You killed him, didn't you?

Tyler? No.

Jeremy once, but are we really
bringing that up right now?

The heretic Malcolm.
Lily came by earlier.

She found him in the town square

without a heart.

Oh, did she want that back?

I mean, I think I packed it
somewhere, all right?

You know, Lily and I had a deal.

A bad deal.

She took Caroline.

What?

To retaliate for
breaking our bad deal,

she took Caroline.

But you weren't
the one that did it.

Yeah. I know I wasn't.

You were,
which is why you are gonna

go over there
and you're gonna fix it.

[Knocks on door]

Hello, Mother.

May I help you?

Couple things.

"A," who the hell is that?

Who, Lucy?

She's the kind woman
I've hired to clean up

this house that you
let fall into disrepair.

Oh.
Lucy, darling,

could you come clean
the welcome mat, please?

This man was just leaving.

- "B," no, I'm not.
- Excuse me?

I think there's been
a bit of a mix-up.

See, last night,
I was in the town square

minding my own business
when I tripped

and accident ripped
Malcolm's heart out.

Deflecting.
Of course.

You never could admit
when you were wrong.

Ok. Wait. I admit it.
I killed him.

I killed him in cold blood,

just like that.

Stef and Caroline had
nothing to do with it,

so if you'll just
kindly let her go...

Malcolm was
a very powerful heretic, Damon.

I have a hard time
believing you acted alone.

Well, I'm pretty awesome...

In fact, so awesome that I'm

such a better hostage
than Blondie,

so if you'll just swap us out...

I'm afraid my family finds you

much less awesome than you do.

Wait. Li... Lily... uh!

That's odd.

Why can't I walk
into my own house?

Because this is
no longer your house,

and I have the deed to prove it.

Now, if you don't mind,

I have to get ready
to go bury my son.

An old contact of mine
at Duke told me about it.

It's supposed to have
resuscitative powers.

Resuscitative

as in, it can bring somebody
back from the dead?

And that's why
I didn't tell you,

because I was
avoiding that look.

Where did you find it?

Well, you remember
that night in New York?

Yeah, the night
that you passed out

on the floor of the bar.

The night you
pretended to pass out

on the floor of the bar.

Right. Well, I snuck
into maritime museum

because this was
on display there.

It's certainly pretty.

I don't feel any magic
emanating from it.

Well, you are
officially more honest

than anyone I saw in Europe.

What are you doing?

Sometimes witches will conceal

a powerful talisman or relic

by hiding the magic
inside of it.

[Chanting]

[Gasp] Bonnie, are you ok?

Aah!

[Gasps]

Bonnie, what happened?

I don't know.

I saw something, people dying.

There's something wrong
with that stone, Ric,

something evil...

But your friend from Duke
told you that, didn't she...

Which is why you
waited until you were

flat-out desperate before
you told me about it.

You can't mess
with that magic, Ric.

We have to destroy it.

I only hear one set
of footsteps.

And I only hear righteous
"I told you so's."

Look. I offered myself.
Lily declined.

Huh, well, looks like nobody
wants you around, do they?

Ah, planning
a little midnight raid

through the tunnels?

Might be a little,
tiny problem with that.

We no longer own the house,

I.E., we can't get in.

- What?
- Have no fear.

I have a call in with
the registrar's office,

and I will find out
who, exactly, does

own the house in
a matter of minutes,

at which point,
we kill said person,

storm the castle,
and save your damsel.

You're really enjoying
this, aren't you?

- I got 60 years to kill.
- Hmm.

Having an enemy, a nemesis,

a maniacal villain

with maniacal villain motives?

You kidding me?

That's not the worst
distraction in the world.

You know, it's funny
that you think

that she's the villain
when you're the one

who killed one
of her loved ones.

You taking her side?

No, but I'm definitely
not taking yours.

Ohh...

[Grunting]

What did you do to me?

What Lorenzo should
have done... vervain.

- Oh, it hurts.
- Yes.

My family ran a slaughterhouse
when I was growing up.

It was all well and good
until they found out

I was a siphoner
freak of nature.

Then they were more than happy

to hang me with the cattle,

so... been there, sister.

Just be happy I didn't hang you

by your feet like
we do with the cows.

What do you want from me?

We have a burial to go to.

My girlfriend thinks her outfit

has to be fashion forward.

I disagree.
What do you think?

Nora, show us.

Uh...

Help us, and perhaps
I can find a small stool

for you to stand on.

Nora: I feel silly.

I'm sure you're
beautiful, my love.

Nora: Nobody wears this anymore.

You wore than dress to
Queen Victoria's funeral.

It's stunning.

[Snickers]

See?

I asked for advice, not mockery.

Yeah. Well, you should listen

to your girlfriend
because that dress...

[Sigh]

Look. My best friend
used to live here.

She had good style,

and I'm sure
that a couple of her dresses

are in a closet somewhere.

I'm curious.

What do you think of this color?

It's great, actually,

super vivid.

It'll totally make
your eyes pop.

Do you think it'll
make your eyes pop?

Don't you ever embarrass
my girlfriend again.

Uh! Aah!

Lorenzo.

I assumed you'd be watching
over our house guest.

Yeah. That was the plan,
until she wrapped

a vervain-soaked rope
around my neck

- and ran away.
- She escaped?

Yeah, temporarily.

Mary Louise and Nora
managed to catch her.

Now it's a "no boys allowed" zone.

Hmm, how unfortunate for her.

[Gulp]

You promised
she wouldn't be hurt.

After you promised
she wouldn't escape.

We're leaving for
the cemetery in a few hours.

I'm sure she can
survive until then.

I'd invite you,
but we need someone

to stay here at the house.

Caroline: Aah!

I know it's not quite fair,
but Lily usually lets

Mary Louise and Nora
get away with murder.

You can still get what you want.

You just have to go around her.

Spare me the family politics.

[Caroline screams]

You chose your side.

Right or wrong,
there's no going back.

Oh, so I should condone

someone I care about
being tortured?

No. You should just
stop caring about her.

[Chuckles]

Thanks.
Uh...

[Phone vibrates]

Ohh. Bonnie Bennett,
destroyer of dreams.

So I take it things
didn't go well with Ric?

He wants to bring
Jo back to life

with a stone that's
filled with evil incarnate.

Yep. Sounds about right.

So about how long do we have

before this evil
engulfs the world?

Just trying to plan my week.

I convinced him to
drop it in a vat of acid,

so I think we're good.

How are you?

Oh, you know, just
trying to figure out

how to break into
my own damn house.

I no longer own it. Lily
signed over the deed.

Why would she do that?

Probably because
she didn't want us

to rescue Caroline.

She took Caroline? When?
Why didn't you tell me?

Because I'm going
to get her back,

and I didn't want you
to do the very thing

that you're about to do.

It's because we killed Malcolm.

Yep. There she goes.

This is all my fault.

Listen to me.

Killing Malcolm
is classic Damon,

has nothing to do with you.

Everybody knows that.

You're covering for me?

Because I need your head
in the game, Bon.

I have a mission for you.

It involves the person
who owns my house.

[Gunshots, glass shattering]

Bonnie: Hey. Hey. Ho!

Hey.
Not a heretic.

Sorry. Rough day.

Not to be the bearer
of bad news,

but it's about to get rougher.

Matt: So I own
the Salvatore house?

It's pretty brilliant, really.

They drain the vervain
from your blood,

compel you to sign the deed,

compel to not invite
Stefan and Damon in,

and compel you to forget
any of it ever happened,

and, bingo, the house is
an impenetrable fortress,

and vampires can't
rescue Caroline.

Great, so the only way
to break the seal

is for me to die.

Bon, please tell me
that that's not the plan.

Well, what do you think
about letting me

use magic to stop your heart?

- So you're gonna kill me?
- Temporarily.

But won't it reset
when I wake up?

No. Once you die,
the threshold spell is broken.

If they want to
reseal the house,

they'll have to sign over
the deed to someone else.

So Damon screws up,

Caroline gets grabbed,
and I end up dead?

Doesn't it ever feel
like we're fighting

the wrong enemy?

We don't have time
for a debate, Matt.

Caroline needs us.
You in, or you out?

Ohh...

Valerie: Ouch.

Nora or Mary Louise?

Mary Louise.

Hmm. Lucky.

She's the nice one.

Yeah, not if you laugh at Nora.

You didn't.

I couldn't help it.

Ah, that dress.

The Queen Victoria one?

Oh, you shouldn't
have said anything.

It would have been hilarious.

Heh. What, you don't
get along with them?

Once...

I made a snide comment
about Nora's hair,

and Mary Louise poisoned
my food for a month.

Mm!

They're the worst,
but I can help.

Phaesmatos extandas lomiano.

Mary Louise: Why the hell
are you in here?

Just looking for this.

See, I heard of this
new fashion trend

called hooker chic.

I figured you'd have something.

Thanks.

What did she say to you?

Nngh!

[Sizzle]

Oh!

[Sizzle] D'agh!

That bitch!

Good thing I don't need
to touch you to do this.

Mary Louise: Ok.
Let's go. Lily's waiting.

What about Oscar?

He's not back yet,

and apparently, his errand
is too important.

Of course it is.

Meanwhile, we're stuck
here until he's done.

Cute.

Hmm. Thank you.

6 minutes.

That's how long
your heart can be stopped

before anything bad
happens to you.

Which doesn't matter
because you're only

gonna stop it for
10 seconds, right?

Matt, if you don't
want to do this...

No. It's fine.
It's for Caroline.

Let's... let's just do it.

[Chanting]

[Heartbeat slowing]

Look. He's never
gonna agree to it.

Donovan knows plan "B" is,
I just simply kill him.

It's good to see
your morality is holding up

in Elena's absence.

So are you and Carebear,
like, a thing now, hmm?

I'm not doing this
with you, Damon.

I'm just saying,
when a guy's willing

to let another guy die
so his girl can live,

there's usually something,
chk, cooking in the kitchen.

You know what I mean?

I am not willing
to let Matt die.

[Phone vibrates]

Yeah. Well, you
just did, brother.

Seal's down.

I'll take the front door.
Enjoy the tunnels.

Hello there, old friend.

You'll have to excuse me
for not responding

to that particular
term of endearment.

May I help you?

Actually, you can.

I don't know if you know this,

but last night, Lily
kidnapped Caroline,

not very cool,
so I know we've had

our issues, but I also know that

you're not like
Lily's crazy-tics,

so I was thinking,
help me get her back?

That would be foolish of me,

considering I'm the one
who kidnapped her.

Wow. You know, I never
thought I'd see the day

when you'd choose to
be Lily's errand boy

over us, but...

I chose you
and your friends many times.

Many times, you and your friends

chose each other over me.

Let's just say that Lily and I

have similar views on loyalty.

You know she abandoned
her entire family once.

Who's to say
she won't do it again?

She didn't abandon her family.

She merely abandoned
her relatives.

There's a difference.

Yeah.

One is a permanent blood tie,

a name, a legacy.

Well, in her eyes,
Malcolm was more

a Salvatore than you ever were.

Why else would she bury him
in the family crypt

next to Elena?

That crypt is sealed shut.

Oh, right.

Oh, well, then it's a good thing

that she's mother bear to
a group of magic siphoners.

It's a little gaudy.

Pull out Elena's coffin
and dump in the body

in the river under the falls.

She can spend the next 60 years
of her life underwater.

[Gasping]

Oh, no. Oh, my God.

Phasmatos sanguine
infundare corra.

Phasmatos sanguine
infundare corra.

Phasmatos sanguine
infundare corra.

Come on, Matt.

Phasmatos sanguine
infundare corra.

Come on, Matt.

Uh!
Thank God.

[Gasping]

Awfully long 10 seconds, Bon.

[Footsteps]

Caroline: Stefan?

Is it you,
or am I hallucinating?

What'd they do to you?

You mean before or after
the gallon of vervain

they injected me with?

I'm going to get you
out of here. Just hang on.

Already doing that.

Uh! Mm...

Looks like I'm gonna
have to swoop you up

and carry you out of here.

Ha! Well, the feminist
in me says no, but...

[Sizzle]

Oh...

[Sizzle]

It's like your skin is vervain.

Valerie's spell.

Hello?

Anybody burying
somebody nobody cared about?

No.

No. No.

Uhh...

No, no, no, no.

Lily: You always did
throw the worst tantrums.

Where is she?

That's the fun of
cloaking spells, Damon.

She could be right next to you,

or she could be
a million miles away,

and I'm the only one
who knows where she is.

You want to punish me
for what I did?

Fine. Do it.

Punish me. Torture me.

Kill me for all I care,

but leave Elena out of this.

Do you remember when you
broke my grandmother's vase?

What?

You were young, 10 maybe.

You denied it,
even when your father

made you cut a switch
from the yard,

even when he beat you with it
until you were bloody.

Still, you denied it vehemently.

Hmm.

You were sitting there playing

with your little toy soldiers,
bloody and bruised,

so I switched tactics,
and the next morning

when you woke,
your room was bare...

No toy soldiers, no toys at all,

and you cried and cried,

admitted everything.

She's not a toy soldier.

And Malcolm was not a vase.

Malcolm was a vital
part of this family.

He meant something
to each one of us.

He found me on the streets.

He was kind to me,

something I hadn't
felt in years.

He's the one who convinced
me to meet with Lily.

Nora: My family wanted me dead.

Malcolm made sure
they didn't succeed.

I hadn't seen Beau in a decade.

Malcolm reunited us.

Lily: He was my sounding board,

my confidant,

my eldest son.

Ironic that you
took him from me.

All right.

Tell me what you want.

One of the heretics
was torturing me.

The other one said
that she would help.

I just thought that it
would only burn them.

It's all right.

When we get out of here,
we'll call Bonnie.

There's got to be a way
to get rid of this.

As for now, we have to...

Avoid skin-to-skin contact.

I know that's gonna be
extra hard for you.

I'm gonna call Damon

and tell him that we're ready.

Stefan, do you feel that?

What's happening?

I don't know.

I feel like every molecule
in my body is being pulled.

Ah!
Stefan! Stef...

Uh! Uh! Uh...

Uh! Uh!

Uh! Ooh!

Oh...

Ok. Invite her in.

Caroline, please come in.

Uh! Ohh...

Sorry, luv.

I think we should go to
the hospital just in case.

And say what?

"My friend used magic
to stop my heart

"for 6 minutes.

How's my brain?"

Matt, I am so sorry.

I got hit with these visions.

This isn't your fault.

This is all happening
because of Damon.

That's the thing, Matt.
It's... it's not.

What?

What you said to me yesterday,

you were right.

The heretics are here
because of me,

and when I saw our town,
our home, like this,

I helped Damon kill Malcolm.

When I found out
they took Caroline,

it was my idea
to stop your heart.

I refuse to stand by and let
them do whatever they want.

I drive up and down
these streets every day,

streets that,
for my entire life, were filled

with people, families,
kids, and now I pray

that I see empty parks
and empty playgrounds.

I pray that I don't see
a soul, and I hate that.

I hate them.

Then why don't we stop fighting
and do something about it?

[Exhales]

Stefan: You left.

I could have gotten
her back, but you left.

What, no comeback, hmm?

No funny reason?

Answer me!

Better get it out while
you can, brother.

I'm not gonna
be here much longer.

What the hell
are you talking about?

Where you going?

I believe Lily's
exact words were,

"as far from Mystic Falls
as humanly possible."

Now, I'm no Google maps,
but I'm thinking

that's pretty far away.

She has Elena.

She's making me leave town,

for good.

If the roles were reversed,
what would you have done?

She has Caroline.

Oh, she has Elena.
She has our house.

She has this whole damn town.

She has all of our toys.

Stefan, whenever I did
anything wrong as a kid,

she took my toys,

but she also took
yours, all of them,

and you'd cry like
a little baby.

I'd do anything, anything
she wanted, to shut you up.

This is her plan.

She's slowly taking away
everything we care about.

She wants us to be
mad at each other.

You're right.
You and I fight...

While her and her
family of freaks

live in our house,
getting closer and closer.

Fine. Then we don't
let her fracture us.

Or we do.

You complain to Lily

about your worthless
brother that left town.

All the while, I'm doing
a little fracturing of my own.

How you gonna do that?

There were 4 heretics
at the funeral.

Dead Malcolm makes 5,
but in 1903,

there were 6,

which means there's one more,

and I'm gonna find him,

and I'm gonna negotiate a trade.

We're gonna get them both back.

Did it work?

Alaric, on phone: Yeah.

Hello, hydrofluoric acid,
and good-bye Phoenix stone.

Good. See you in class tomorrow.

[Hissing and rumbling]

[Guitar playing]

How was the burial?

As lovely as a burial
could be, I suppose.

I noticed Caroline
is still being held

in the girls' room.

Would you like me
to speak with them

about letting her stay with you?

Oh, I don't need you
to advocate for me.

She made her bed.

Perhaps it's time
she should lie in it.

What about your bed?

Have you decided
which room you'll take?

Do you consider me
a part of your family

like the others?

Why, yes, of course.

I care for you
as much as I do them.

And therein lies the problem.

I'm not here to be one
of your children, Lily.

Then why are you here, Lorenzo?

Why did you choose us?

Well, there was no "us"
in my choice.

I chose you.

I am here because of you.

I'm taking the guest
room in the east wing.

Good night.

Don't get cocky.

You're still spelled
into the room,

but I figured you
could use some space

to stretch your legs
and maybe give this a read.

What is it?

I know you think Valerie
was doing you a favor,

that she's the nice one,
and, trust me,

she's the worst of all of us.

It's Stefan's.

She never goes
anywhere without it.

What is Valerie doing
with Stefan's journal?

It's the first thing
she looked for

when we realized
we were trapped in 1903.

The entry for July 15, 1863,
should tell you why.

Stefan, voice-over: "I just
had the strangest encounter

outside the county fair.

I met someone. A girl.

We only spoke for a moment,
but her name is Valerie,

and she may be the most
wonderful girl I have ever met."

Caroline: And we're out.

[Clapping]

Great show, everyone.

I will catch you
at the grapevine in a bit.

I got first round.

Ok, so let's call my fiancé back

and talk about this
Mystic Falls business,

and don't worry.

I'm not gonna tell him
that you told me.

Heh. No.

Uh, actually, you got
another call during the show,

someone named Stefan Salvatore.

Uh, it sounded urgent.

Well, if he calls back,

tell him that I'm not here,

and I never want
to hear the name

Stefan Salvatore ever again.

Got it?

[Exhales]

[Whoosh] Ugh...

I'm sorry.
That was a bit harsh.

Ugh...
Tony? Tony!

Tony!
