"Tell me how to get in the tomb." "The grimoire." "Where is it?" "Check the journal." "Jonathan gilbert's." "The grimoire." "It w emily's, right?" "That's what you need to reverse the spell." "I'll help you." "You just couldn't live without me, huh?" "Your eye!" "Where'd she go?" "Where'd who go?" "Anna." "Elena!" "[dog barking in distance]" "[gasping]" "[click]" "I wouldn't."

"[gasping]" "Oh, my god!" "Anna took elena." "Yeah, I got that from your 600 voicemails." "Damon, all night long, every single street in town," "I've been searching." "What if your blood hasn't passed out of her system?" "Well, then at least you know you'll see her again." "Please." "What do you know?" "You were with anna." "You st know where she's living." "Just tell me where I can find her." "Nope." "You can go." "Really." "You know, all I can remember is hating you." "There might have been a time when that was different," "But your choices have erased anything good about you." "But see, I also know that youave just as much reason to hate me." "This all began with me." "Katherine got taken away from you" "Because me." "And I'm sorry." "Apology accepted." "So please," "Ju tell me what you know." "Huh." "It's elena, damon." "If you know something..." "Tell me." "[sighs]" "I mean this sincerely." "I ho elena dies." "Bonnie." "Elena?" "Oh, you're ok!" "My head..." "Come here." "Oh, my god!" "Ben is a" "Shh. [whispering] they can hear." "I was so stupid!" "Oh, he had all of us fooled." "What's going on?" "Why are we here?" "It mt have something to do with the tomb and emily's spell book." "Spell book?" "Damon said that it could be used" "To open the tomb." "Why didn't I know about any of this?" "I was trying to keep you out of it," "Hoping it would never come to this." "Come to what?" "They need a witch..." "To break the spell anlet the vampires out." "No way." "I know" "You're wasting your time." "I'm not going to help you." "That's why she's here." "Motivation for you to behav" "You know, you shouldn't be so desperate." "You made it too easy." "[elena groaning] she needs to talk to you." "[grunting]" "Elena gilbert." "You really are katherine's doppelganger." "You must have the salvatore boys reeling." "Whare you?" "I'm anna." "Your brother may have mentioned me." "I mean, we're, like, practically dating." "Ten kegs?" "You know how much damage we could do with ten kegs?" "Duke's got it all hooked up." "Duke's a douche." "Yeah, a douche with ten kegs." "Aka, my new best friend." "What's the problem, gilbert?" "Don't have one, lockwood." "Yeah, I didn't think so." "You ever get bored of it?" "Of what?" "Yourself?" "Keep laughing, buddy." "Hey, jeremy." "Where is elena?" "I have been texting heand bonnie" "All day about duke's party." "Uh, she went somewhere with stefan." "[sighs] I am so not going to be one of those girls" "Who disappears just because she has a new boyfriend." "Who is duke?" "Some guy that graduated a couple years ago." "And he throws a party every time he comes home from duke." "Wait, duke goes to duke?" "His real name is bob or something." "He's a total ass." "But he buys the beer." "Maybe you should come." "Uh, yeah. - I don't think so." "No, seriously." "Everyone goes." "Even quiet loner little brothers." "Think about it." "Hey!" "Hey." "So I have speech." "It is fully scripted and well-rehearsed." "Are you ready foit?" "You wrote a speech?" "Yes." "It's a "you kissed me" "And I don't want things to be weird" speech." "It's pre-emptive." "[chuckles] pre-emptive." "Yeah, you know, in case you were having second thoughts" "Or regrets" "Or were,ike, ooged out" "Ooged, huh?" "[chuckles]" "Can I just get on with the speech part?" "Yeah, go for it." "So I know that you don't think" "That this is going to work out between us." "I just want to let you knowhat right here and right now," "I'm offering you an out." "Like an escape clause." "Why are you giving me an escape clause?" "I don't want to make assumptions about what it is we are doing here." "Got it." "So, if you would like to exercise it," "Just let me know." "I'm good, but thanks." "Ok." "Good." "Yeah." "So..." "See you for duke's tonight." "Yeah." "[chuckles]" "Yes?" "Hi there." "I'm looking for bonnie." "She's not here." "Oh, do you know when she would" "Never." "[chuckles]" "You have quite an opinion for someone who doesn't know me." "You got some nerve knocking on a bennett witch's door" "And asking her for anything." "What'd I do?" "Spirits talk, mr." "Salvatore," "And so does my granddaughter." "You are no friend to us." "Now get off my porch." "Step outside and say that." "[groaning]" "I am not bonnie." "You don't want to mess withe." "Bonnie's not going to open the tomb." "Oh, I think she will." "Do you really want katherine out that bad?" "Trust me." "No one I know wants to see that girl again." "Except damon, the lovestruck idiot." "Then wt is it?" "Or who is it?" "My mother's in there." "Katherine couldn't help herself." "She just had tooy around" "With both of the salvatore brothers." "And when she g caught," "So did my mother." "I watched jonathan gilbert take her away." "I'm sorry." "You really mean that, don't you?" "[chuckles]" "Yeah, I think wel skip" "The dead mom bonding so you can start serving a purpose." "Which is what?" "Leverage." "This belong to you?" "Ah, ah." "[dialing]" "Hmm." "Elena, are you ok?" "She's fine, for now." "Tell me you have the grimoire and she'll stay fine." "I can get it." "Which means your brother has it." "And I have the witch." "So one of you had bettereet me" "In the very public town square in 30 minutes" "So we n safely discuss" "How fun it's going to be to work together." "Go ahead." "Grovel again." "Oh, wait, no." "I don't care." "I'm leaving." "Keep them buttoned down." "Compsion won't work." "Just use violenc right." "I got that." "Sit." "Behave." "You're the key to this." "Literally." "The one who opens the door." "Tell me, how long have you been a witch?" "Is there anything to drink here?" "Are you offering?" "There's water on the nightstand." "Hey." "Can I have a sip?" "Whoa!" "[gasping]" "Come back in, shut the door!" "Don't hurt her!" "Don't make me!" "Lock it." "Anna!" "Hey, what, uh," "What happened to you last night?" "Sorry, I had to leave." "I told your sister to tell you." "Oh, I haven't seen her." "Well, I gotta run, so" "Hey, do you want to go to a party tonight?" "Do I what?" "The guy that's throwing it is a total douche," "But it's, uh, it's supposed to be fun." "I figured, you know, safety in numbers." "[chuckles] so you're finally ready to go out with me, are you?" "It's been a while since I've been to a party," "And I kindwant to get back out there." "And not be such a lor." "And, uh, I like you." "You're fun, and you're also kind of" "Strange and lurky, but,h, I guess I like that, too." "So, yeah, you should come to the party." "With me." "It's in the woods by that old cemetery." "Oh." "It's there, huh?" "That sounds cool." "Uh, I'll meet yo" "Oh-ok!" "Great!" "Cool." "Ok!" "[chuckles]" "Got a hot date," "Or are you just planning on nabbing the entire gilbert family?" "A party, right next to the old cemetery." "Isn't that nice of them?" "Lots of warm bods for starving vampires." "I told you." "I work alone." "Yeah, so do I." "But you're minus a witch" "And I'm minus spell book." "So what do you say?" "Stefan will come after you, you know that." "For messing with elena." "Then he won't be too happy if I kill her" "When I don't get what iant." "[groans]" "When do you want to do this?" "[exhales]" "God, it's like 1864 all over again." "You salvatores are truly pathetic when it comes to women." "Tonight." "After sundown." "Meet at the church." "Witches don't have eternal life, right?" "So you guys can die." "Yeah, we can die." "Ah." "That sucks." "[screaming]" "Stefan!" "Let's get outside." "[groaning]" "When the sun goes down," "Leave town." "If I ever see you again," "I will kill you." "[gasping] [birds chirping]" "How did you know where we we?" "Many things can el a witch's power." "Worry, anger." "After stefan told me that they had taken you, I had a lot of both." "Simple locator spell was easy after that." "I'm sorry." "About all of this." "Not as sorry as they're gonna b" "So what do we do now?" "For now, you need to stay here." "A prisoner, in my own home?" "I don't think so." "I can't protect you if you leave the house." "We'll protect ourselves." "We need to let him have katherine back." "He's not going to stop until he gets her." "If we help him, maybe that ends it." "No!" "He doesn't deserve to get what he wants." "What other choice do we have?" "Witches being pulled down by vampire problems." "As much as we tried to do to stay out of it." "I'll open the tomb." "You get your brother'sirl," "And destroy the rest with fire." "Then this will be all over." "We still have to get damon to agree." "He already agreed once." "Yeah, and then we double cross him." "So now he's angr" "He's hurt." "There's a difference." "I think I know what I have to do." "[chuckles]" "You've got to be kidding me." "It was stefan." "There was nothing I could" "Shut up!" "Stop talking." "Without the witch," "We don't have damon or the grimoire." "Damon's not going to stop." "He'll find a way to get in." "And we're going to be there when he does." "I'm going to have to change the locks." "Did you stage a jailbreak?" "Stefan." "Oh, brother." "Ever the white knight." "I convinced bonnie to help you." "I doubt that." "I'm not going to say that I'm sorry" "We got the grimoire without you last night," "Because I'm not, really." "Well, at least you're honest." "I was protecting the people I love, damon." "But so were you," "In your own, twisted way." "And as hard as it is to figure," "We're all on the same side," "After the same thing." "Not interested." "Yes, you a." "Because you were willing to work with us yesterday." "Foole once, shame on you." "Ok, when we were in atlanta," "Why didn't you use your compulsion on me?" "Who's to say I didn't?" "You didn't." "I know you didn't." "But you could have." "You and I..." "We have something." "An understanding." "And I know that my betrayal hurt you," "Different from how it is with you andtefan," "But I'm promising you this now," "I ll help you get katherine back." "[groans]" "I wish I could believe you" "Ask me if I'm lying now." "No animal will stop, by the way," "No matter what I do." "Then we'll deal with it." "I didn't compel you in atlanta because we were having fun." "I wanted it to be real." "I'm trusting you." "Don't make me regret it." "The duke party." "I forgot." "I hope they stay clear of the church." "Your hope, n mine." "Matt:" "Elena, hey." "Elena, oh, my god." "Where have you been?" "Long story, no time to tell it." "Wasn't talking to you." "Sure you were." "We haven't met." "I'm matt." "Matt, there's a reason we haven't met." "You and I are going that way." "Ahhh." "I'm sorry, you guys." "Cleared the debris away." "Set the torches like you asked." "We can get down now." "Elena:" "What is that?" "It's everything I need to destroy them." "Are you sure damon will come back with her?" "[damon whistles]" "Brother, witches." "Everything ok?" "I just want to get this over with." "Are we ready?" "I guess so." "[all cheering] [rock music playing]" "Done!" "[laughter]" "Hey, uh, I'll be right back." "Hey, man." "Uh, you got any weed?" "Wait, you're kidding me, right?" "You act like a total dick every time we cross paths," "And now you want to party witme?" "[indistinct] I'm just asking question." "Dude, I don't geyou, man." "It's aarty." "You're a partier, ok?" "There's no need to psychoanalyze it." "I don't party anyme." "And even if I did, it wouldn't be with you." "No problem." "Carry on just standing there, by yourself." "All alone." "The enemy of fun." "Do you even have any friends?" "[chuckles]" "Thank go" "Weird hello, but ok." "What's the matter?" "Uh, nothin'." "Nothing, just..." "It's nothin'." "Come on, let walk." "Air." "Earth." "Fire." "Water." "That's it, just water from the tap?" "As opposed to what?" "I just figured maybit would have to be blessed" "Or mystical or something." "What's that?" "It's for katherine." "Gotta have something to get her going." "Unless your girl's offering a vein to tap." "[sighs]" "Admit it" "You can't wait to get rid of me." "[chuckles]" "I can't wait to get rid of you." "Hmm." "You ready?" "[indistinct chatter]" "This place is wild." "You kinda like dead people, huh?" "I'm strange, remember?" "You ok?" "Yeah, yeah." "Uh..." "This place makes me think about someone." "A dead someone?" "No, no, just..." "Someone I used to know." "So, uh, hey." "[chuckles]" "We made it all of, what, 37 minutes in that party?" "Not your scene?" "No, I'm not really su what my scene is anymore." "Hmm." "So what do you say?" "You want to be part of my non-scene?" "I would happily be a part of your non-scene," "Except, uh, I'm leaving." "Wait, what?" "Yeah." "My mom and I are moving away." "Oh, uh..." "That's- that's a bummer." "Yeah?" "Well, yeah." "So..." "Guess this is good-bye." "I guess it is." "Anna, your face!" "It's nothing." "It didn't look like nothing." "[sighs] you didn't have to hit him that hard." "Yes, I did." "Grab him, and let's go." "I'm taking him to meet my mother." "Where's your date?" "Who knows?" "Ah, is the honeymoon over already?" "Maybe." "After all that grief you gave me about liking her." "I figured it would have lasted longer than five minutes." "Look, I just" " I don't know if I can do the whole public couple thing." "She-she seems like she might be a little clingy." "Well, good." "I need my boy single anyway." "Ooh." "Incoming." "Hey." "There you are." "Here I am." "Yeah, well, I'm not drunk enough," "So I'm just going to go get another beer." "So..." "So." "I have another speech." "Ok." "The hand thing with elena," "It was lame." "Well, I was lame." "And, hey, your feelings for elena aside," "Damon wathere," "And he was always such a jerk to me." "And..." "I wanted to show off that I was with the good guy." "So, anyway, I was lame." "So..." "Forgiven?" "Yeah, course." "Yeah." "[chanting in foreign language]" "What's happening?" "It worked!" "Of course it worked." "Weave some fires to build." "I'm gonna go get the gasoil, I'll be right back." "You ready?" "What?" "You think I'm going to go in there by myself" "So you can seal me in?" "Don't take her in." "I'll bring the walls down." "You'll bring walls down if I don't." "Yothink I trust you?" "As much as I trust you." "Enough!" "Both of u." "Look, he needs leverage." "He needs to know that you're not going" "To shut the door when he gets inside." "I get it." "I'll go." "May I?" "Dark down there?" "I thought I told you to leave." "I considered it." "Then I thought, screw you." "Anna:" "Hey, hero." "I'm going down there to get my mother." "Can't let you do that." "Well, ben's about to make a main course" "Out of elena's little brother," "So y can stop me or him." "Your choice." "[clattering]" "What is that?" "They can sense you." "Where is she?" "!" "Damon!" "Hey, you're not going in tre." "You think you can stop me?" "Bonnie..." "Why did you let her go in?" "Because she isn't coming out, baby." "None of them are." "Do hmm?" "You're disposable." "I don't care." "She already gave me what I want." "You're going to say "eternal life"?" "You're really that stupid?" "You know, I've heard about you." "You don't feed." "You're not strong enough to beat me." "[both grunting]" "Is that all you got?" "No." "I got this." "Damon?" "Damon!" "Where's elena?" "Damon took her inside." "What?" "!" "Stefan!" "If you go in there, you won't come out." "What did you do?" "Opening the door didn't remove the seal," "It just opened the door." "What's the sea" "Some seals keep vampires from entering." "This one eps them from..." "Coming out." "Elena's human." "She can leave." "Anna and katherine can't." "Damon can't." "You weren't even planning on breaking the spell," "Were you?" "I told you." "I ll protect my own." "Elena can get out." "That's all that matters." "You must have a taste for it." "You scream and shriek and even bother to escape," "But then you just come right back to it." "Oh, oh!" "Mother!" "Your boyfriend did this, you know." "His father did." "And jonathan gilbert." "Made a choice a long time ago" "That iwould be gilbert blood" "That brought her back to life." "I had jeremy all ready to go," "But... [gasping] [screaming]" "Stefan!" "You can't just leave him inhere, grams!" "He made his choice!" "Here." "Just tell me what to do." "I'll do it!" "We areot strong enough." "Even if we were able to bring the seal down," "There's no guarantee that we can get it back up again." "You said it yourself" "Many things can fuel a witch's power." "Help me!" "Or I'll do it alone." "[both grunting]" "Please don't!" "[groaning]" "Let her go!" "No!" "Go, go." "I'll be right behind you." "Pearl:" "Anna!" "Where am I?" "Elena, stefan..." "He's right behind me." "Efan, what are you doing?" "It's gonna be ok." "We'll fix it." "What is it?" "I can't." "Can't?" "Can't what?" "The spell's still up, we can't get them out." "Yet." "You went in there not knowing" "If you could come back out?" "Oh, my god." "I heard you scream." "We can't leave him in there." "We promised him, both of us." "I know." "Even if we're able to break through the seal," "Weon't be able to hold it for long." "[grunting]" "She's not here!" "Damon." "She's not here." "What?" "She's not here!" "[chanting in foreign language]" "I think it's working!" "I just wanted my mother back." "Jeremy's fine." "He's outside." "We won't touch him." "Keep going!" "You better hry." "Stefan, they can't hold it much longer!" "[gasping]" "Damon, we need to get out of here." "It doesn't make sense." "They locked her inside." "If we don't leave now," "We're not getting out." "How could she not be in here?" "It's not worth spending all of eternity down here!" "She's not worth it!" "No!" "Elena:" "Damon!" "Please." "[chanting in foreign language] [gasps] oh, my god!" "I can't!" "You can!" "Is this for real?" "Is what for real?" "You being all cool and honest and open?" "Speech number three?" "I want this to work." "And I'm scared that you're going to change your mind" "And you're not going to want it." "I don't want to mesit up." "I don't want to mess it up, either." "[owl hooting]" "He's ok." "He's all right." "[sighs]" "I'm sorry." "Hey, let me help you." "Oh, m fine." "You don't need to coddle me, baby." "It was a big spell, grs." "I could tell it took a lot out of you." "I'll be fine." "How's your head?" ", it's, uh, it's all right." "I just-I wish I knew how I pass out." "I didn't drink that much, I swear" "And you don't remember anything?" "The whole thing's pretty cloudy." "I just..." "I know how this looks." "I'm-I'm sorry." "No, remy, don't be sorry." "You didn't do anything, ok?" "Ok." "I've gotta head over to bonnie's for a little bit," "But is there anything that you need?" "Oh, no, I'm just- I'm gonna crash." "Ok." "Well, jenna's here, and I'll be back soon." "You knew katherine wasn't in there." "You wouldn't have helped me." "No!" "Why do you get happiness?" "Damon, please, you wouldn't have helped me!" "You know you wouldn't!" "Why do you get it and I don't?" "!" "The guard, the way of the judge," "They really want this thing!" "She promised to turn him" "He was oessed with her." "She had him under her spell, like everybody else!" "He let her go." "[gasping]" "The last I saw her" "Was chicago." "1983." "She knew where you were, damon." "She didn't care." "Sorry." "[music playing]" "I just got tbonnie's." "Everything all right?" "Yeah." "How's damon?" "Is he going to be ok?" "I don't know." "Can I call you later?" "Yeah, of course." "Grams?" "Grams, wake up!" "Grams!" "Grams?" "!" "[sobbing] elena!" "Help!" "Wake up!" "She's not breathing!" "She's not breathing!" "Please, wake up!" "I'm gonna fix it!" "Yes, I need an ambulance." "It's ok, I can fix this." "It's an emergency." "No, no!" "I can fix this!" "Grams, I can fix this!" "Bonnie!"
