Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Previously on The Vampire Diaries:

- You must be Elena. - How do we look alike?

KLAUS: I killed the doppelgänger. I broke the curse, so what am I doing wrong?

Contact the witch who created it.

That would be the Original Witch.

The necklace is a talisman from the Original Witch herself.

- Feel like hitting the road? - Why not?

Rebekah. Time to wake up, little sister.

When I met you, a man was looking for you.

You both seemed afraid. Who was that man?

- What's going on? - He was asking about Mikael.

He's not with us, Nik. I can sense it.

You're holding onto something. I thought...

...I would see for myself what it is you've been hiding.

Welcome back to Mystic Falls, Stefan.

[DOOR OPENS NEARBY]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[RATTLING]

[CLICKING]

Oh, come on! Seriously?

- Know how long it took to set this up? - Forgot about Senior Prank Night, huh?

- Clearly. CAROLINE: How could you forget?

We've been waiting for this since freshman year.

Yeah, Matt. If I'm doing this, you're doing this.

I'm kind of surprised any of you are doing this.

- Caroline's making us. - We're about to be seniors.

These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't...

Create these memories, then what's the point?

Go ahead and make fun. I don't care.

You're all lame. And I've got 10 more classrooms to prank.

Hey. Where are you going?

To superglue Alaric's desk shut. I'm making memories.

- I love you. - Get the faculty toilet seats.

And Dana needs bodies in the gym. Let's go.

[CHUCKLES]

[GASPS]

- There's my girl. - Klaus.

You're supposed to be dead.

What are we gonna do about that?

KATHERINE: Are you hungry? Let's stop for a bite.

A truck stop. Or a trucker.

- Oh, stop being cute. - It's not possible.

I've been driving around aimlessly for hours. Where we going?

Far enough away so that you can't go running back.

Not to worry. Mystic Falls and I are on a break.

You and Mystic Falls or you and Elena?

Let's say Elena and I have a difference of opinion on how I should behave.

Mm, let me guess. Elena wants you to be the hero...

...and you don't like playing pretend. - Something like that.

Her loss.

[GRUNTS]

- What are you doing? - Thought I'd give it a shot.

Truth is, you just don't do it for me anymore.

[GROANING]

Ah, he lives.

- What happened? - You took a beating.

My brother's been breaking your neck. Quite the temper.

Why did he bring us back to Mystic Falls?

You can stop playing dumb now.

It didn't take him long to figure out what you've been hiding.

I'm not hiding anything. I've done everything Klaus has asked me to.

No, you just failed to mention that the doppelgänger's still alive.

Where is Klaus now?

With any luck, ripping that cow's bloody head off.

- Where is she? - You really do love her, don't you?

[GRUNTS]

Consider me jealous.

[YELLS]

You've put a large kink in my plans. The point...

...of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids.

I haven't been able to do that.

I bet it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing.

- If you're gonna kill me, do it. - Not until I know I'm right.

But I do have ways of making you suffer.

Attention, seniors.

You have officially been busted. Prank Night is over.

Head on home.

You two.

I remember you.

- Sorry. Who are you? - Wasn't in my right head last we met.

Lift your foot up please, Dana.

If she drops her foot, Chad, I want you to beat her to death. Understood?

ELENA: Don't, Klaus.

- You don't have to hurt anybody. - Come on, love. Of course I do.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR STEREO]

Why are we stopping?

I thought you might wanna stretch your legs.

Take a break from the sexual tension.

- I'm tired of driving. It's your turn. - Fine.

Hey!

We're not going anywhere until you spill your guts.

[SCOFFS]

Fine.

Do you recognize this, hmm?

A little birdie told me that Klaus wants to get his hands on it.

Why would Klaus want Elena's necklace?

Does it matter?

He wants it and I have it. It's leverage, Damon.

Always stay one step ahead of your enemy.

- I'll keep that in mind. - More importantly...

...when I stole the necklace, I found out something better.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to stop Klaus? No turning back?

- I'm not turning back. - Good.

Because this isn't gonna win you any points at home.

DAMON: Jeremy? Really?

Do you think Matt's gonna be okay?

I'm kissing you and you're wondering about your ex-boyfriend?

I'm asking you if you think our friend...

...who we both love, is okay.

I think he probably doesn't have a lot of people to talk to anymore.

I think he's struggling more than he lets on. I think...

...that I love how big your heart is.

I just want this school year to be great, you know?

I want everyone to be happy...

...even in the midst of all the crazy, unhappy bits.

I'm happy.

REBEKAH: You two are adorable.

- Uh, do we know you? REBEKAH: You're Caroline, Elena's friend...

...which makes you Tyler, the werewolf.

And who are you?

I'm the new girl.

Caroline!

[CHUCKLES]

This is fun, right?

- You sound like Caroline. Heh. - I am embracing her philosophy.

- We should be more into this. - Yeah.

Where's Jeremy tonight?

I haven't talked to him all day. We're having, um...

He, uh...

He told me about seeing Vicki.

Ah. Good. I'm glad that you know.

Is it weird, talking about your sister like this?

No. I mean, I...

I kind of wanna see her myself. I never got to say goodbye to her.

[SIGHS]

Do you realize that just last summer you and I were lifeguards at the pool?

- Hmm. - And the only two problems I had...

...in my life were that...

...Elena was breaking up with me and I sucked at CPR.

- Everything was so different then. - Yeah, I know.

Elena's dating a vampire, you're a witch...

...my sister's a ghost, and...

...I'm just a guy who's wondering how life got so screwed up.

It's crazy, Matt, I know.

I can't imagine what it must be like for you.

It just, uh...

...kind of explains why I'm not that into Senior Prank Night.

Yeah.

I'll go grab a couple more rolls and we'll hit the gym.

I'm here, Matt. I can help you.

[WHIMPERS]

- Keep it up. ELENA: Where's Stefan?

- What'd you do to him? - Stefan's on a time-out.

[DOOR OPENS]

Bonnie, get out of here!

I was wondering when you'd show up. Now we can get started.

Uh, Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight.

I assume you're the reason Elena's still alive.

That's right. If you wanna blame someone, blame me.

There's no need for blame. Your witchy interference...

...caused some undesirable side effects.

Since you caused the problem, I'm gonna have you find the fix.

- Ugh, get off of me. REBEKAH: Hush now.

I'd like you all to meet my sister.

Rebekah. A word of warning, she can be quite mean.

- Don't be an ass. - Leave him alone.

I'm gonna make this very simple.

Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf...

...into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition.

It's quite horrible, actually.

[TYLER GRUNTING]

I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie.

And for Tyler's sake...

...you'd better hurry.

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING]

[DANA SOBBING]

- He killed him. ELENA: He's not dead. Klaus' blood...

...will turn him into a vampire. KLAUS: And if Bonnie's successful...

...he'll live through his transition. Go on.

Go fetch your Grimoires and enchantments and whatnot.

I'll hold on to Elena for safekeeping.

So this is the latest doppelgänger.

The original one was much prettier.

KLAUS: Enough, Rebekah.

Take the wolf-boy elsewhere, would you?

Just ignore her.

Petty little thing.

MATT: What are you gonna do? BONNIE: I have no idea.

The curse is 1000 years old. My Grimoires don't go back that far.

- Those witches that helped before? - Don't have contact with them.

They cut me off when I brought Jeremy back to life.

That's it.

I can't contact the dead...

...but Jeremy can.

I'm listening.

What if I told you there was a way to kill Klaus?

And not dagger dead. "Dead" dead.

I'd say you were desperate and lying. Or drunk.

Or a desperate, lying drunk.

- Do you remember my friend Pearl? - Vividly.

Centuries ago, she told me about a vampire who knew how to kill Klaus.

- Then she wouldn't tell me any more. - Why not?

It was her leverage. She knew it was valuable information...

...and wouldn't share it with me. - Well, this is all great...

...but she's dead. - Which is why I never brought it up.

She only ever told one other person.

- Who? - Her daughter.

- Anna. - Also dead.

- Which brings us right back around to... JEREMY: To me.

Back around to me.

[DOOR OPENS]

Stefan.

- Klaus. - Come to save your damsel, mate?

I came to ask for your forgiveness...

...and pledge my loyalty.

Well, you broke that pledge once already.

Elena means nothing to me anymore.

And whatever you ask of me...

...I will do.

Fair enough.

Let's drink on it.

Kill them.

What are you waiting for? Kill them.

No. Stefan, don't.

He's not gonna hurt me. He already said...

[SCREAMS]

[GROWLS]

She means nothing to you?

Your lies just keep piling up.

Let her go. I'll do whatever you want. You have my word.

Your word doesn't mean much. I lived by your word all summer...

...during which time I never had to resort to this.

- Stop fighting. - Don't do this. Don't do this.

I didn't want to.

All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm gonna have to take it.

- Don't. Don't. - You will do exactly as I say...

...when I say it. You will not run.

You will not hide. You will simply...

...just obey.

No.

Stefan.

Now, kill them, Ripper.

[SCREAMS]

[GASPS]

This isn't gonna work.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Ugh. Your girlfriend's worried you ran away with your ghostly lover.

Stop with the teenybopper drama. Focus.

[SIGHS]

I'm not helping them.

It's okay. They're looking for a way to stop Klaus.

I don't care. Katherine is not a friend to you. Neither of them are.

- What's she saying? - She doesn't wanna help you.

[KATHERINE CLEARS THROAT]

- My advice? - Hmm?

If you wanna make an omelet, you have to break a few legs.

Jeremy. I just want you to know, it's nothing personal.

- Aah! What the hell? - Jeremy!

Anna, I know you hear me. Tell us.

The sooner, the better for your boyfriend.

- They're looking for Mikael. - Mikael!

- Mikael? Is that his name? - Who's Mikael?

The vampire who hunts vampires.

You don't wanna wake him. He will kill all of you.

- What's she saying? - Hello?

He's a vampire and a hunter, and you guys would be idiots to wake him.

What do you mean, wake him?

- It's time to go find the keys. - Mm-hm.

[GROANING]

We didn't have mobile telephones in my day.

Would have made life a whole lot easier, I suppose.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Hmm.

Where's Tyler?

He's dead...

...ish.

- What did you do? - Think of it as, he's having a nap.

When he wakes up, he'll be a hybrid.

Ugh, vomit.

Is that my necklace?

Why is that doppelgänger bitch wearing my necklace?

KLAUS: It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element.

The species has become such a broody lot.

No. You did this to him.

I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table.

[DOOR OPENS]

REBEKAH: Where is it?

Where's my necklace?

- What are you talking about? REBEKAH: She has my necklace. Look.

Well, well. More lies.

Where is it?

- I don't have it anymore. - You're lying!

[GROWLS]

- Knock it off! - Make her tell me where it is, Nik.

[WHIMPERS]

Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest.

I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it.

Katerina.

Of course.

Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace...

...it'd make things easier for your witch. Since we're doing this the hard way...

...let's put a clock on it, shall we?

[TIMER BUZZES]

Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then...

...I want you to feed again. Only this time...

...I want you to feed on Elena.

You know you want to.

Klaus. Don't do this to him.

No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine.

- Did you find Jeremy? - No. I've called him, like, 20 times.

- All right. We'll head to his house. - I'll meet you by your truck.

What the hell?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Matt.

I can help, Matty. But I need you to hear me.

Whoa.

Vicki?

[PHONE RINGS]

- What is taking so long? - This is gonna sound crazy.

- I think Vicki's trying to reach out to me. - What?

- I think she can help us save Tyler. - Jeremy can help us save Tyler.

We can't find Jeremy. We need to try something else.

I have an idea. I'm gonna need your help. Meet me at the pool.

- I don't understand. - Jeremy can see ghosts...

...you brought him back from the dead. Do that for me.

What? No, Matt, that's crazy.

- This is gonna work. Trust me. - No, Matt.

- I can't do that kind of magic anymore. - You don't need magic, Bonnie.

You just have to be better than I was at CPR.

Don't fall asleep, Jer. You might have a concussion.

- Thanks for the concern, dick. - Oh, stop pouting.

You took one for the team. Everyone home will thank you once Klaus is dead.

- Where's my phone? - Do you need to check in with Elena?

Make sure it's okay you pummeled her baby bro?

You know you have it.

What can I say? I needed you present, here and now.

Katherine, phone. Now.

[SIGHS]

Bonnie's been texting me.

JEREMY: What is it? - It's Klaus.

- No turning back. - Shut up.

KATHERINE: Hey. Look at the big picture.

Best shot at taking out Klaus is by finding Mikael.

Stay with her so Anna can guide you. I'm going back.

You're gonna get yourself killed.

The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid.

I wouldn't have done it for you.

Matt, please! I can't do this.

There's nothing else I can do.

VICKl: Matt.

Matt.

Vicki?

Matt.

Unh. Please, come on.

Vick, I can see you.

Listen to me very carefully. I don't have much time.

- Why? Where are we? - It doesn't matter.

I need you to give Bonnie a message.

[COUGHING]

It's okay. You're okay.

[TICKING]

Caroline's dad. Stefan, he was able to resist compulsion.

I don't know how, but he did. Maybe it's possible...

Yeah. Maybe it's just mind control, right?

Maybe it takes some focus, couple decades of training.

Stefan, you can control this. When that buzzer goes off, just drink from me.

You don't get it. I can't stop, Elena. I'm a ripper. A ripper doesn't stop.

I listen to the words that come out of your mouth and all I hear...

...is the sound of your heart pumping blood through your body.

And when that clock ticks down...

...I'm going to have to feed on you.

And you wanna know what's worse? I'm not gonna be able to stop.

I don't believe that. You can fight it. You have to want it bad enough.

- Why, because I love you? - Yeah.

That's right, Stefan. Because you love me.

You'll fight because after everything we've been through, you owe me that.

You know what, you're right. You're right.

I owe you everything.

Through all of this, you are the one thing that has kept me from giving up...

...from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Elena.

The more blood I get, the more I want. And if I get so much as near yours...

...you are dead.

[GASPS THEN COUGHS]

Shh.

Where am I? What happened?

- Tyler. - Don't be shy about it.

What's going on?

Klaus is turning you into a vampire. A hybrid. You're in transition.

REBEKAH: Don't leave out the hard part, sweets.

You'll only survive if your witch is successful. If not...

...you're pretty much dead.

You're gonna be okay. Okay? It's gonna be okay.

I wonder how she's doing.

Ticktock goes the gym clock.

As soon as you're feeling better, I'm gonna kill you.

But it worked. I saw her, I saw Vicki.

- You did? - She said she had a message for you.

- Me? - From the witch...

...that put the hybrid curse on Klaus. She said Elena shouldn't have survived.

The hybrids can't transition because Elena's still alive.

- Tyler. - He's gonna die, isn't he?

KLAUS: I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Given the choice, doppelgänger or hybrid, I go hybrid every time.

- You're gonna have to run. - Klaus said if I run...

I know what he said, but if you stay it won't matter.

Elena, please, please, please.

- Elena. There's no other way. - There is another way, Stefan.

It's for you to fight.

[TIMER BUZZES]

[GRUNTS]

Stefan, I love you. Fight, Stefan. Don't give up.

I can't hold it.

[SCREAMS]

Elena, run! Go!

[PANTING]

We gotta stop meeting like this.

[GROWLING AND PANTING]

Now, this is fascinating. I've never seen this before.

The only thing stronger than your craving for blood...

...is your love for this one girl.

- Why don't you turn it off? - No.

Come on. Your humanity is killing you.

All the guilt must be exhausting. Turn it off.

- No. - Stefan.

You're strong, but you're not that strong.

Turn it off.

STEFAN: No!

Turn it off!

What did you do?

I fixed him.

But I think a test is in order, don't you? Ripper.

Perhaps you'd like a drink...

...from the doppelgänger's neck.

[SCREAMS]

Well, the verdict's in. The Original Witch says the doppelgänger should be dead.

- Does that mean we can kill her? - No. It means the opposite.

What?

Call it a hunch.

- Elena's blood. Drink it. - No. No, no, no, Tyler, don't.

If he doesn't feed, he'll die anyway, love. Consider this an experiment.

It's okay.

There we go.

Good boy.

[GROANING]

[YELLS]

CAROLINE: No!

[SCREAMING]

Well, that's a good sign.

[GROANS]

- Where am I? - In the hospital, sweetie.

- You suffered a terrible ordeal. - I have to get out of here.

Not an option. You've lost a lot of blood.

Wait. You're taking my blood?

Of course. It's very important for your friend, Klaus.

[GASPS]

- Ugh, no. - Uh, don't fight, sweetie.

He told me you need plenty of rest.

So the doppelgänger isn't the problem, her blood is the solution.

- Seems so. - How did you know?

You know how much the Original Witch hated me.

Do you think I would do anything other than the opposite of what she says?

A thousand years in the grave and she's still screwing with you.

Uh, it makes sense if you think about it from her perspective.

It was her fail-safe in case I ever broke the hybrid curse.

The doppelgänger had to die for me to become a hybrid, but if she was dead...

Then you couldn't use her blood to sire yourself a new species.

Leaving me alone for all time.

Is that what this is about? Your obsession with hybrids.

You just don't want to be alone?

What I want is to take my girl, take my hybrid...

...get the hell out of this one-pony town.

Why don't, uh, you get the truck? I'll get Elena.

Well, look who finally decided to show up to the party.

DAMON: Where is she? - Elena?

Uh, she's making a donation to a greater cause.

- Can't let you interfere, mate. - Then you'll have to kill me.

I would love to, but, uh, I made a pledge to your brother...

...and unlike him, I keep my word. Although, thinking about it now...

...he probably doesn't care that much anymore.

DAMON: Don't you wanna know about your friend Mikael?

- What do you know about Mikael? - Just that he knows you're here.

- Bluffing. - Katherine and I found him.

Consider it our leverage.

[YELLS]

[GROANING]

Damon.

DAMON: Hey.

- Are you sure you're okay? - I'm great, Caroline.

I mean, like, phenomenal. It's a rush. I wish I could explain it.

Everything is just...

...better.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

This is gonna be an amazing year.

Hey. Are you ready? I could still use a ride over to Jeremy's.

Yeah, just a sec.

Listen to me.

I know you wanna help and I know you miss your sister...

...but what you did was reckless and stupid...

I know, Bonnie. I know.

- But it worked. It was worth it. - You don't wanna be a part of all this.

You are the only one of us who gets to live your life like a normal person.

No matter how lost you feel, don't forget that.

I get it, Bonnie.

I'll be out in a minute. I...

Vicki's here. Watching me, and I just...

I just need a minute to say goodbye, okay?

Bon, seriously, I'm not gonna do anything stupid, I just...

Vicki?

Hi, Matty.

DAMON: Hey, here's some bourbon.

It'll help you forget.

- Mm. - Yeah, it's strong.

You know, I can help you forget too.

The memories you don't want to keep.

No. No compulsion.

I need to remember. All of it.

I stole it back for you.

He's really gone this time.

I watched it happen. After everything that we went through to help him.

Now he's just gone.

Where were you, Damon?

I shouldn't have left.

I promise you, I will never leave you again.

STEFAN: Well, isn't this cozy?

What are you doing here, brother?

Last I checked, I live here.

Klaus is gone, but he's asked me to keep watch on you until he returns.

From now on, you're under my protection.

Hmm. By all means. Carry on.

KATHERINE: How do you know Anna wasn't tricking you?

Oldest wing of the largest cemetery. She said a witch entombed him.

Look, there.
