The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017): Season 7, Episode 3 - Age of Innocence - full transcript

In the aftermath of a clever plan orchestrated by Lily, Damon sets off on a road trip with Bonnie and Alaric in search of leverage they can use against his mother. Meanwhile, Caroline, who ...

Previously on "The Vampire Diaries"...

Bonnie: Ric wants to bring
Jo back to life

with a stone that's filled
with evil incarnate.

Alaric: The Phoenix stone.

Bonnie, are you ok?

There's something wrong
with that stone.

We have to destroy it.

Damon: My mother's a lunatic,

and everyone's too
scared to stop her.

The deal has been made.

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



What is Valerie doing
with Stefan's journal?

Entry for July 15, 1863,
should tell you why.

Stefan, voice-over: I met a girl.
Her name is Valerie,

and she may be
the most wonderful girl

I have ever met.

Damon: She has Elena.

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

Stefan:
She has Caroline, she has Elena.

This is her plan.

Then we don't let
her fracture us.

Or we do. There were
4 heretics at the funeral.

Dead Malcolm makes 5,
but in 1903, there were 6,

which means there's one more.

I'm gonna find him,
negotiate a trade.



We're gonna get them both back.

[Cell phone ringing]

- Hello?
- Tyler, it's Stefan.

- Have you spoken to Caroline?
- No, and please don't ask me to.

I have no desire to get mixed up
in your drama with her.

Listen to me.
My scar opened up.

I don't have much time.

I need you to warn Caroline.

She's not taking my phone calls.

Ok. I'm on it,

but you should be running.

I'm way ahead of you.

Take care of yourself, Tyler.

[Bring me the horizon's
"Throne" playing]

♪ Every wound will shape me ♪

♪ Every scar
will build my throne ♪

Bonnie, voice-over:
"Dear Elena"...

"Not to dive into
the bad news first,

"but there's a severe drought
of good news lately,

"and, well, this sort of
concerns you.

"Lily's hiding
your coffin somewhere.

"She promised to keep you safe

"as long as Damon stays
out of Mystic"...

[People screaming]

You seen my phone?

I, uh, seen your empties,
your dinner,

your razor.

You know, clothes would be nice.

Got it.

How long you planning
on crashing here, Damon?

You know, you could
compel yourself

a whole sorority house
if you wanted to.

And miss this
"odd couple" squalor?

I'm starting to enjoy
the luxury of having

one barely functional showerhead

after years of being
tortured by the 4

that I have in my actual home.

Relax. It's just
till we hunt down Lily's

lone wolf heretic
and swap him out

for my girlfriend in a coma.

Yeah, and, uh,
how long until that happens, huh?

Pretty soon thanks to Donovan...

A phrase no one has
uttered ever.

Heh heh.

He's checking Lily's
cell phone records.

Hi, Bon Bon.

Please tell me I'm not
interrupting something.

Oh, trust me.
You're not.

What's up?

That Phoenix stone
that I touched yesterday,

you did destroy it like
you promised me, correct?

Why? What happened?

I just had another vision,

a flash of horrified people
with x-shaped wounds

on their skin,

and when I opened my eyes,

10 minutes had gone by.

The stone's gone.
I, you know, watched it

dissolve in hydrofluoric acid.

You're positive?

Bonnie, the stone's gone.

Who wants to go to Myrtle Beach?

- I'm busy.
- Pass.

Well, that's too bad
because Lily made

a bunch of phone calls
that bounced off a cell tower there,

and something tells me she's not
making plans for her spring break.

Why would Lily send one of
her heretics to Myrtle Beach?

Tell you what.
You ask him yourself

after he's safe
in my car's trunk, hmm?

So anyone up for
an old-fashioned hostage swap?

Does agreeing to go mean
you putting on pants?

I'll even give you shotgun.

Stefan, voice-over: Valerie was
like a fresh breath of air.

I'd been suffocating
and hadn't realized it.

[Music box playing melody]

Unh!

Ooh. Ugh.

[Nora and Mary Louise giggling]

Ergh.

Thanks, Nora and Mary Louise.

Real classy.

I hate you both.

[Cell phone vibrating]

Hello?

Caroline?

Stefan?!

How are you
on my phone right now?

You must have dropped it
when you got

threshold-vacuumed
out of here yesterday.

How are you?
Are you ok?

Well, I'm spelled into your room

by a menagerie of mean girls,
but other than that...

I know. I'm still trying to figure
out a way to get into the house.

I'll be fine.
Just keep Damon

from killing any more heretics.

I will. Lily's only keeping you
there to turn me against Damon.

I'll convince her
that I hate his guts,

and she'll have made her point.

Who's Valerie Tulle?

You wrote about her in
your journal from 1863.

She must have found
a copy in the prison world.

Are you talking about
one of the heretics?

Yeah. Dirty blond hair,
blue eyes.

She's one of my new
psycho housemates.

Unh!

Caroline?

Ugh!

Dirty blond hair,
blue eyes, psycho.

Summarized me to a tee.

Caroline?

[Glass shatters]

[Sighs]

You can take my town,
you can destroy my house,

but you will not touch my car.

Good morning, Stefan.

What are you doing?

I was out practicing my driving

and saw an opportunity
to work on my parallel parking.

[Air hissing]

[Sighs]

Must have run over
a nail or something.

The streets around here
are a disgrace.

Listen. You need to tell
those spoiled brats

living in my house

to stop torturing Caroline.

Of course. As soon
as you tell your brother

to stop killing
said spoiled brats.

Damon and I aren't
speaking right now.

- Really?
- I have no idea where he is.

Apparently, you did
both of us a favor

when you told him to leave town.

Then I will give a lecture to
the girls on their manners.

Is one of those girls
named Valerie Tulle?

I was wondering when you might
put those pieces together.

I knew Valerie years
before you did.

She worked in my TB ward.

After I turned,
I took her under my wing.

If memory serves me,
you didn't meet her until 1863.

How would you know when I met her?

Because, Stefan,
I sent her to you.

[Laughter and chatter]

[Fiddle playing]

You have to move.

Excuse me?

Your sad mood is spoiling
the fun for everyone.

I'm Valerie Tulle.

Stefan Salvatore.

Are you new to town?

Just passing through.

I hope not too fast.

Caroline: Ohh.

How do you have this?

Nora gave it to me.

What was the deal
with you and Stefan?

Wouldn't you like to know?

You know what?
You're right.

I'm already in enough pain.

The last thing I need
to think about

is some girl who batted
her eyelashes at Stefan,

like, a million years ago.

"Some girl."

I wasn't just some girl
to him, Caroline.

I was the first love
of Stefan's life.

Why did you send Valerie to me?

To check on you.

Like any mother longing
for her children,

I was in a black hole
of depression.

Yes, Stefan. I'm more
than the cold-hearted snake

you and your brother
wish me to be.

It took me a long time
to get over losing you.

Anyway, I had been invited
to travel to Europe

with a... a vampire
gentleman friend of mine,

but I refused to leave
until I knew

that my boys were ok.

Heh. A gentleman friend.

You had a boyfriend?

His name was Julian.
What? You're acting

as if that's absurd.

Well, your first husband

shot and killed his own son,

so you'll have to
excuse me if I don't

trust your type.

Julian was nothing
like your father.

No. What was he,
a nebbishy banker,

town butcher perhaps?

Julian was the man you are
not supposed to fall for,

so of course I did.

[Cheering]

For the soldiers!

Yes!

Have your tickets ready, ladies.

The men on the battlefield
need us.

[Cheering]

Hello.

Ha ha ha! You have
to hold still.

It will be delicious, I promise.

Hmm.

Oh, ho ho ho!

Aren't we ladylike?

Stefan, meet Julian.

Your daughter
and I were just appreciating

the scientific wonder
of gravitational force.

Heh.

Hmm.

How wise you must sound
to less intelligent men.

Julian is not my father.

Oh. Ah, my apologies.
I just assumed...

Incorrectly as it turns out.

Valerie darling, a word.

Uh! You're wrinkling
my dress, Julian.

What are you doing?

Lily sent us here to
get a sense of his mood.

Exactly. His mood,
not his manhood.

Remember, his mother
gave very strict instructions

for us to keep our distance.

Do not displease her.

I have everything under control.

Valerie, voice-over:
I was lying.

I wasn't prepared for
how taken I was with him.

He was gorgeous and sweet.

And that's when you
compelled him

to write all those
nice things about you

in his journal.

Spoiler!

I've heard this story before

when a sweet, little orphan girl

named Katherine Pierce
waltzed into his life.

I suppose that would
have been easier

had I actually had
the ability to compel people.

I wasn't a vampire back then.

I was just a witch
rejected from her coven

for being an abomination
of nature

because I had
no power of my own.

The only magic I had was
contained in an amulet

to be siphoned in times of need.

I have a brother
who's away at war,

a father who judges me
for not joining him,

and a mother
who was strong and kind.

She died when I was 10.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, it was a long time ago.

There's no shame in missing her,

a man on the outside
with the heart of a boy.

There are worse things.

Your chaperone is
quite persistent.

Then we shall elude him.

- Come.
- What are you doing?

[Whispering] Invisique.

How did he not see us?

Would you believe me
if I said magic?

And then...

None of your business.

I know why you put
that burning spell on me.

It's not so Mary Louise
and Nora couldn't touch me.

It's so Stefan wouldn't.

Be more obvious.

Well, since you're so curious,

please allow me to continue.

Julian is going to kill me.

Just compliment
the whiteness of his teeth.

He'll forget all about it.

Is something wrong?

No. No.

It's just that I've never...

It was his first time.

I'm sure you've been
someone's first,

so you know what it's like

to have a completely
unforgettable place

in someone else's mind.

Of course.

That's what I thought.

Alaric: Ok. So...

What's the plan?

Ok. Fair trade.

One heretic in good condition

in return for
the coffin housing Elena.

No. I meant the plan
where we try to capture

a powerful heretic
who'd prefer we were dead.

Easy. B-Town stuns
him with magic,

you shoot him with vervain,

I... kchk...
Snap his neck.

Yeah, but after we get him
to siphon away my visions.

Wait. What?

Well, the visions are magic.

He's a siphon.
It's worth a shot, right?

Any other suggestions

of how we can rid Bonnie of this

mysterious pain she's in, Ric?

Room service.
Free shrimp.

Hey. You folks have
the wrong... holy!

Damon Salvatore.

You know me?

Of course I know you.

It's good to see you're
well, old friend.

Come here, man.

Hey. All right.

Ha ha! Come in, come in.
Come on.

Oscar: Uh, you caught me
in the middle

of a 72-hour social gathering.

Ahh. Make yourself at home.

Uh, friend,
with the vervain gun,

if you could holster that, I...

Sure would feel
a lot more comfortable.

How do you know, Damon?

Oh, he's Lily's son,

the hero soldier.

Ha ha ha!

We... we met at a bar
near Gettysburg,

July of 1863.
Nothing?

I go to a lot of bars.

Heh heh. Right.
Right, right.

Uh, well, your mom was
going through a rough patch.

She could not move on
until she knew her boys were ok,

so she sent me out to find you.

My mother abandoned her
family and ran for the hills.

She doesn't give
a flying crap about me.

I sense hostility,
and that's fine.

All emotions are...
Are valid and welcome here,

but it's the truth.

She just wanted to know
you were happy, Damon.

She loved you.

Hey, you guys.
What can I get you?

Cocktail, joint?

Heh heh. Jenny?

Does my mom know you're here?

Hey, hey, hey. Shh.

Ha ha ha! Shh!

Ha ha ha!

No, no, no. Keep the car
on this side of the road.

Valerie never told me
about your romance.

Well, Valerie never told
me that you were alive.

Would it have mattered?

Is that a real question?

She told me that you'd
forgotten all about me.

She said you had moved on.

That... that was the only way
I was able to move on, as well.

My mother was practically
ripped out of my arms

and sent to a TB ward.

You don't move on from that.

You find distractions.

Come with me.
I want to show you something.

Heh. This is romantic.

This is my mother's grave.

I come here every day

to replace the flowers.

She's been dead for 6 years,

but I'm still trying to make up
for my failure.

What do you mean by that?

She had consumption.

One day, her coughing
would not stop.

My father sent me
to go buy some flowers

to make an herbal tonic.

I ran to town
as fast as I could,

but by the time I got
home with the flowers,

she had been taken
to the sanatorium.

You never got to say good-bye.

She died in the TB ward
shortly after.

I always wonder
what would have happened

if I had just been able
to run a little faster.

The tonic would have helped her.

She could have lived.

Were these the kind
of flowers you were sent for?

Yes. Cream...

Cream violets.

The tonic would not
have saved her.

Huh. That's...

That's very kind of you,

but you cannot be certain.

But I am.

I worked in a sanatorium,
caring for patients

which was like your mother.

Cream violets have
no medicinal properties.

It's an old wives' tale.

You father sent you
on a fool's errand.

You were only 10.
He...

Probably wanted you
out of the house

to make it easier on himself.

No matter what,
you couldn't have saved your mother.

Her death is not your fault.

Julian: Time to say good-bye.

I expected you would
visit here sooner or later.

Sir, if you would
just let me explain.

We are leaving for New York now.

I did not mean to disobey you.

It was not me who you disobeyed.

Come with me now,
and we will speak no more of it.

The carriage awaits.

When will I see you again?

I will find my way back to you.

I promise.

So it's kind of like
"The Notebook"

except you two never reconnect

and he totally
forgets about you.

Julian was in a hurry
to get to Europe.

He convinced me to lie to Lily,

tell her that Stefan was happy.

Believe me, Julian had
a way of convincing

anyone to do anything.

Alaric: So why did Lily
send you here?

Heh heh. She didn't
send me here exactly.

She had a job,
and I volunteered,

and she has the family
on a short leash back home

with this whole "I took
you in as orphans,

so I know what's
best for you" vibe.

No, thank you.
You know, you can get

a drink served to you
in a fishbowl here.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, hey. The other day,

I called a number on this card,

and just like that,
I had a girlfriend.

It's called an escort service.

But she really got
who I am, you know?

It was a beautiful
human experience,

and that's what
I've discovered here... freedom.

The bad trip inside
that prison world

has ended, my friends,

and I am breathing in
what my soul was craving...

F-r-e-e-dom.

Well, in the spirit
of helping others

with their freedom,
I have a favor to ask you,

you know, as a siphoner.

Huh?

Let me translate for you.

My friends were playing
with some mystical tool

they didn't quite understand,

and now Bonnie's chasing
her own white rabbit

around the farm.

So you want me to, what,

siphon her problems away?

Just think of it
as one big magical toke.

Heh. Ha ha ha!

I don't... I don't really
like to mix mediums,

if you know what I mean.

Siphon the damn visions.

We won't tell Lily
that we saw you

avoiding whatever mission
you were sent to do,

and we'll call it a day.

Ok then. Come on.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

[People screaming]

Where's the Phoenix stone?

Uh...

How do you know
about the Phoenix stone?

How do you know
about the Phoenix stone?

What are you people up to?

Espirimus paratis.

[All gagging]

[Neck snaps]

Damon: Good news.
Your visions are gone.

Bad news...
So's Oscar.

Ohh.

He took the stone.

Uh, how is that possible
when you destroyed it, Ric?

We need to find him right now.

Did you know he still had it?

Aw, come on.
I mean, y... I...

A littl... kind of.

Ric, tell her what happened.

No. I'm asking you.

I live with the guy.

Guys know stuff.

- You lied to me.
- I didn't lie to you.

Ric lied to you.
I just kept my mouth shut.

Wait. I'm not gonna be
stuck in the middle of this.

No, no. You sort this out.

I'm gonna go find
our bargaining chip.

So the visions, the lost time,

the crippling headaches,
they don't mean anything,

doesn't matter to you?

Oh, of course, they matter,

but bringing Jo back
matters more.

You don't even know
what this stone does,

if it will work.

I was dead, gone,

and so were you, Bonnie.

We came back.
We got our second chance.

We were on the other side, ok?

It doesn't exist anymore.

Look. Jo was
the love of my life,

and if there is even a 1%
chance that this could work,

I need to take it, no matter how
dangerous or insane it may be

because if I don't,
I'm gonna spend the rest of my life

wishing I had stayed dead.

No, no. Keep your eyes
on the road.

Make a left here.

It'll take us back into town.

Is there anything else
you'd like to know?

No. I mean, it doesn't matter.

Obviously, it was
all a lie, right?

What do you mean?

Well, Valerie was using me.

No. No. Valerie
wouldn't have hurt you

because that would have
inadvertently hurt me, as well.

Hmm. Did it ever occur
to you that maybe Valerie

doesn't give a crap
about you or anyone else?

- I don't believe that.
- No?

How about the part where
she sent me a telegram

saying she was coming back?

She what?

She'd been gone a few months.

Valerie, voice-over: I promised
I would find my way back to you.

"I long to be
in your arms again."

Stefan: She said
she wanted to run away with me.

Her telegram said
to meet her Friday at noon.

Heh. I showed up
two hours early.

Valerie, voice-over:
He waited and waited for me.

With every passing
footstep, he would turn,

expecting to see me.

Stefan, voice-over: I sat
around all day like an idiot,

past sundown, after nightfall,

but she never showed up,

so, yeah, I guess
you could say I'm wondering

what the hell
the whole point was.

Surely, you're not
still angry with her.

It was 150 years ago.

Valerie: Eventually,
he accepted that he'd been abandoned

all over again,

and then he walked home

under the cold
and distant stars.

How could you do that to him?

There was a change of plan.

I'm done talking
to you about this.

[Foghorn blowing]

Slipping away before sunrise

on the very day our ship
leaves for England?

Let me pass.
I'm not going.

Yes, you are.

Because Lily will not
travel anywhere

without her precious
little orphans,

and it is imperative
that I leave today.

Do I frighten you?

No.

Because I can hear
your heart beating faster,

both of your hearts, in fact.

Does Stefan Salvatore know that you
are pregnant with his child?

Damon: I lied.

I do remember you.

I was fighting for the south.

It's not exactly a time
I like to reminisce about

in front of my friends.

Yeah. You had the same
opinion back then.

Hated everything
your side believed in.

Hey. You wanted to desert

but feared shaming your old man.

You compelled me
to take sick leave.

The next day, my entire regiment
was slaughtered in Gettysburg.

You saved my life.

I couldn't compel you back then.

All I did was talk to you

from one human to another.

I told you to follow your heart.

Now it's my turn to desert.

I don't want to be a part

of Lily's cavalry, ok?

I... I don't want rules or...
Or a chain of command.

I just want to have fun.

Ha ha!
You know what?

A little extra piece of advice.

A lot of people want
the Phoenix stone.

Mess with it,
and you end up dead.

Full disclosure,

I don't care about the stone.

Then why are you
chasing me, man?

Let's just say I'd like
to cash you in

for something way better.

Unh!

Aerodux motus.

Agh!

Aah! Aah!

Phasmatos mosinus pyros allum.

Phasmatos mosinus pyros allum.

Phasmatos mosinus pyros allum.

Phasmatos mosinus pyros allum.

Phasmatos mosinus pyros allum.

Never lie to me again.

Damon: Aw. My besties
are buds again.

Let's go make a deal.

Is Valerie here?

I heard her leave the house.

I guess torture
makes her hungry.

Forgive me for prying,

but I heard your mother
died this past spring.

I just spent the day
reliving Stefan's first time.

I really don't feel like
talking about my dead mother

with my hostage taker,
but thanks.

I was simply curious about
one's ability to heal

after such a loss.

Well, you must have
had a mother.

I mean, even
Mussolini had a mother.

Of course I had a mother.

Then you know that love
is different than

any other kind of love.

Stefan wrote about you
all the time.

You can read for yourself.

Here.

He loved you.

He missed you.

Nora, remove the barrier spell,
please.

As of this moment, Miss
Forbes is no longer a prisoner.

What, is this one
of those mean girl tricks?

No. It's a reward
for Stefan's honesty.

Go before I change my mind.

I don't know what made
your heart grow 4 sizes today,

but thanks.

In the prison world
before we desiccated,

I came here every day to think.

I can see that sometimes
you still do, as well.

That's a comfort.

It's strange to be here with you

finally able to
tell you the truth.

Please don't tell Lily.

Well, you have
your reasons for staying here,

and I have mine for leaving.

Whatever will we do?

[Coughs]

Valerie, voice-over:
Julian solved his dilemma

by beating me senseless

till I was left near dead

and the other heartbeat
inside me stopped.

When I regained consciousness,

I was on the ship to England.

Lily said Julian had
found me robbed

and beaten on the street.

She believed him of course,

and she healed me
with her blood.

Julian knew I could never
tell Lily what he had done

because that would also
have exposed my lies.

Lily: Thank you.

She never would have forgiven me
for having an affair with her son.

I didn't want to live
under Julian's thumb,

so that night
as we crossed the Atlantic,

I drew myself a bath,
laced my tea with laudanum,

and went quietly to sleep...

But I died with Lily's
blood in my system...

And by virtue
of pure happenstance,

I became the first heretic.

You don't know how sorry I am...

About everything.

Maybe you never will.

So what does a rock
that makes you see

screaming people have
to do with reincarnation?

I don't know,
but I've read that book already

cover to cover,
and it's a waste of time.

In fact,
all of these are a waste of time.

They talk about resurrection,

the Phoenix rising
from the ashes,

but nothing about a stone that

brings people
back from the dead.

Are you sure you understand
what you're trying to do?

It's not like Jo's spirit
is behind a veil

that we lift
and she magically appears.

This is necromancy.

I'm gonna show you something.

The hospital can
only preserve the body

for a set amount of time.

I've been paying off
the tech to fake the logs.

Jo is still in there.

- She has to be.
- Ric.

I know what
I'm getting myself into.

I... I just can't do it alone.

At least tell me you'll try.

I'll try.

[Cell phone vibrating]

Damon.

You should have come yourself.

It's been a long day.

I have little energy
for your riddles.

Gettysburg, 1863.

You sent Oscar to check on me.

If that had been you,
it would have changed

the entire course of my life.

I was supposed to be dead.

And I was supposed
to be your son.

How do you know this?

Your prodigal heretic
was fear-and-loathing

in the armpit of Myrtle Beach.

- Oscar.
- Don't worry, Mommy.

He's in the middle
of a vervain detox.

Give me Elena.
Maybe I won't kill him.

You will not lay a hand on
another member of my family.

[Sighs]

You know, this whole
family thing

really irked me at first...

But now I get it.

You loved me, time passed,

and you moved on
to a new family.

So did I.

Why don't we end this mutual
disdain once and for all?

Give me Elena,
you get your son back.

Caroline!

[Sizzle]

Ah!

[Sighs]

How did you escape?

I didn't.
Lily let me go.

- She did?
- Yeah.

I guess today is just full

of Valerie-sized surprises, huh?

Aquilo: ♪ I'll leave it alone ♪

Heh.

Look. I was just a kid
when I met her,

just a troubled boy
mourning his dead mom.

I was young and human.

I was young and human
when you and I met,

and I remember the exact moment

when I first saw you.

And do you remember the first
time that you ever saw me?

I'm sorry.
That was totally unfair.

Just please forget I asked.

I mean, you were even
sitting next to Elena,

so of course you only
had eyes for her.

Things have changed.

Different circumstances,
different results.

Here's a different circumstance.

Valerie's out
of the prison world.

Does that change
anything for you?

Of course not.

You don't wonder what
would have happened

if Valerie would have
shown up to meet you.

I don't wonder anymore.

I don't care about the past.

All I care is that you're
here and you're safe.

You're with me.

Aquilo:
♪ Waiting for you, darling ♪

♪ Waiting for the word ♪

♪ Waiting for you, darling ♪

I know.

♪ Just say it ♪

♪ And nothing
will stand in my way ♪

[Fluorescent lights buzzing]

You're awake.

Awake and...

Coming down hard.

Where the hell am I?

A college town
near Mystic Falls.

Did Lily send you?

Lily has no idea where you are.

I used a locator spell.

Maybe I can turn
this thing around

before she gets in the loop.

Hmm.

So have you done
your duty to the family

and found Julian yet?

- Can you keep a secret?
- You have no idea.

I found him months ago.

And you didn't tell Lily?

I didn't tell anyone.

I wanted to...

Live a little
before I came back.

And now that you're back?

I don't know, Val.
I haven't exactly

thought it through
from my hostage bed here.

Heh. Heh heh.

I know you, Oscar.

Eventually,
you'll leverage Julian's location

for your freedom from Lily.

Hmm. Yeah. That's a...
That's a pretty good idea.

Yeah. Yeah.
I'll probably do that. Heh.

Hmm.

You have a sweet soul, Oscar,

and you've been good to me,

like a brother.

But Julian is the devil.

[Coughing]

I can't let Lily bring him back.

[Gagging]
