"Previously on "the originals"..." "I assume i have the misfortune" "Of speaking to my mother." "I have come to heal our family." "I will undo everything that has been done," "Thereby giving you a new life." "You should get out of here." "My brother is not the forgiving kind." "I'm not afraid of him." "I'm about to get even with klaus," "And you're gonna help me." "You're the alpha." "Our people are not meant to be slaves." "You can free them." "Ollie?" "I want you to rejoin our family," "Take the body of a mortal," "And we can all be happy again." "Niklaus..." "you're not real." "I am flesh and blood, your flesh and blood." "You are my son." "I brought him here to be the father you never had." "You said you wanted elijah." "He's sleeping." "When he wakes, he'll make his own decision." "You cannot catch me, elijah." "You're getting faster, klaus," "But you're not yet fast enough." "Ha ha!" "Klaus?" "Niklaus?" "There you are." "Do you understand?" "One day, only a monster shall remain." "I know you are locked in battle." "However deep in your mind" "Our mother has set the stage, hear my voice." "Our mother thinks she will win because she has left you alone," "But you are not alone." "Let me in." "Let me help end whatever torment she has forced upon you." "Uh!" "Ah!" "Uh!" "Oh!" "What are you doing?" "I'm trying to enter elijah's thoughts to wake him." "Esther has locked me out." "Is this rash a side effect" "Of the witchy acid trip he's on?" "I haven't seen this since i was a child." "Mikael would return home from battle" "More blindly temperamental than usual," "And our mother would use the petals" "Of a rare marelok orchid to put him to sleep." "She would mend his mind with a spell" "And then wake him with the roots of the same plant." "If she has access to it now," "Then maybe it also grows in the bayou." "You stay here with your wolves" "And mind the fort." "I'd rather rip your mother's head off." "Steer clear of her." "I mean it, hayley." "She already got to you once." "What would happen if elijah were to wake" "And find you a victim of her madness?" "I won't go after her." "I promise." "I've learned a few things from your mother." "I won't go after her." "I'll go after everything that she loves." "I'm so sorry, jack." "This is bull, hayley." "Crescent tradition says you have a funeral" "At dawn, and no one is here." "That loyalty..." "Loyalty is gone." "We're standing around moping over ollie's body" "When there's a war to be fought." "I understand that you have to grieve, jack." "You waited for me." "So i'll do the same for you," "But our people need their alpha." "Where's your alpha?" "Unavailable." "So you brought junior varsity?" "I'm getting a little tired of you" "Using my place as a den for wayward wolves." "Oh, it's just that we were going to take down" "Finn mikaelson today, and considering" "How he treated your vampires, i assumed that you" "Would want in on the bloodbath." "I'm listening." "Well, it's not gonna be easy." "He's surrounded by a pack of juiced-up wolves." "He doesn't have a weakness." "He does, actually," "And i have her on speed dial." "He's got a thing for cami." "Klaus would go ballistic if we get cami involved in this." "Klaus ain't here, and cami, well," "She's got this thing about people telling her" "What she can and can't do." "Trust you, of all people, understand." "He hasn't called." "He thinks he's protecting me," "But i don't think i want to be protected." "Truth be told, i don't think" "I want to be around him anymore at all." "Well, that's a nice piece of progress." "What's on your mind?" "I was wondering." "I..." "I know this is, like, horribly unprofessional," "But i was hoping i could get a new advisor." "You aren't finding our sessions productive?" "No." "No." "That's not it." "They've been great." "You're really getting to know me." "I just..." "I want to get to know you, too." "Uh..." "Right." "Yes." "Heh." "Mortifyingly unprofessional." "I'm gonna go." "Uh, camile..." "Do you enjoy jazz?" "Still at it?" "I'm trying to repair the damage that you did" "To my delinking spell." "Oh." "The only reason i'm still shacked up in this dump motel" "With you is for your freaky witch encyclopedia brain." "Ok." "Well, here's a magical secret" "From the ancient legends of the romani psychics..." "Sleep, davina." "You've been awake for days." "Kind of hard to rest" "With a 1,000-year-old psycho in the next bed." "When you say that, i sound" "Like a bit of a creeper." "Can you just stop?" "Stop what, darling." "Calling me darling and trying to be funny" "And..." "All of that." "Oh, well, most girls like this, but then" "You're not like most girls, are you?" "What i'd like is for you to just stop messing around." "Ok, davina." "All right." "I have been trying to charm you," "And your resistance is as impressive" "As it is baffling, but there are things" "That we can do, big things." "I can't share my secrets with you" "Unless we trust each other." "I don't care about your secrets, kaleb..." "Kol." "I don't even know what to call you." "Kol mikaelson," "And if you want to take down klaus" "Without your friends dying, well," "Then you'd be a fool not to listen to me." "Uh!" "Ooh..." "Uh..." "What's happening?" "That's mother dearest calling me home." "Well, you always did know how" "To leave a message, mother." "If only all my sons were as respectful as you are." "Kol will return home soon." "Elijah will wake from his slumber believing" "The only way to salvage his humanity" "Is to rejoin our family, which is why" "It is time you bring camile in." "Here." "I've spelled this to subdue her" "Without causing bodily harm." "I thought we had more time." "We don't." "Once klaus has been duly influenced" "By his father, we will need to act quickly." "No." "There's no need for this." "I can bring her in without it." "Stop following me." "I have no intention of taking esther's bargain" "And no desire to be remade a mortal being." "Now kindly piss off." "I'm in a hurry to help my real family." "You seek the marelok orchid." "How did you know that?" "I saw you carry elijah home last night." "Who do you think used to find the orchid" "For your mother to put mikael to sleep?" "Without my help, you could search forever." "My mother brought you back from the dead." "My sense of strategy tells me it wasn't" "To play a father-son game of hide-and-seek." "You can storm off in a fit" "Of stubbornness if you like," "But i suggest you do so toward the west." "Ha ha!" "You have any fun with magic, or is it all" "Just angst and child sacrifice with you lot?" "You were a witch before you were" "A vampire, right?" "Yeah." "None of my siblings have tapped into their power," "Little bit of a child prodigy." "I loved it." "I loved the power." "I loved the rush," "And then when we turned, i lost it all," "Went through a bit of a dark period." "1,000 years?" "Yeah." "Well, i'm a thrill seeker." "Couldn't get that from magic anymore," "So i looked elsewhere." "Murder, mayhem." "Youthful misadventures." "I actually spent quite a lot of time with witches," "Learning from them, teaching them," "Trying to get back what my mother stole from me." "Is that why she brought you back as a witch?" "She felt like this body" "Would be the best for the task at hand..." "Spying on the prettiest witch in town." "Can't believe your mom sent you here" "To flirt with me." "No, no." "She sent me to follow you." "The flirting bit was me." "Cami said vincent wants to meet at preservation hall," "But he won't be unprotected." "There'll be wolves positioned here and here." "Can we keep this alley open?" "Great." "We'll wait there" "And rip vincent's head off." "Nah." "He'll body jump." "His head stays on." "He'll have a hard time answering our questions" "Without it." "Sweet." "It's a big box of dusty, old junk." "We're saved." "They're dark objects my uncle left for me." "I've been cataloging them according to kieran's notes." "As far as i can tell, these can be used" "Against witches specifically." "Kinky." "I remember these." "What?" "100 years ago, the human faction" "Waged a war against the voodoo queens." "They had a trader spell these manacles." "You slap them on a witch," "They can't do magic as long as they're on." "All right." "Well, we're not gonna get the handcuffs of doom on him" "While he's surrounded by a werewolf entourage." "We just lure him away." "I can do that." "Cami, if we do this, you're the bait." "Are you sure you're ok with that?" "Make it look convincing." "The guy is really smart." "1,000 years estranged," "And you choose to walk in silence." "Surely, you have questions for me." "Just one." "Is there a way to cure elijah" "Without having to listen to the pointless" "Ramblings of an old man?" "I'm afraid the price of my expertise" "Is conversation." "You know, i used to tell myself that" "My real father must have had no idea i existed." "Otherwise, he'd never leave me to suffer under mikael." "Esther forbade me from seeing you." "So i waited, knowing that one day," "You would trigger your curse" "And need your real father..." "But when that happened, mikael found me first." "I fought him for you." "Yes." "Well, your grand declaration is just a few years too late." "Now, you joke, but i know you've" "Always felt a void in your life." "I've watched you from beyond for centuries." "You've traveled all corners of the world," "Seen monuments erected, feasted on the blood" "Of history's most extraordinary men," "But you've never found true peace." "The only moments of joy in your life," "However fleeting, have been simple pleasures..." "As you climbed the himalayas," "As you tended to your horses," "Quiet days teaching that boy shakespeare." "Stop." "I watched you paint." "I watched you feel your unborn daughter's kick." "I said stop." "A millennium of observing me," "Were your eyes closed as i slaughtered whole villages," "Fed my way through thousands of innocents?" "Because..." "let's face it..." "I have a tendency to play with my food." "Have i made you proud, father?" "Remind me to teach you how to send a text message." "You were told to get the white oak stake days ago." "We need it now," "Seeing as your father has risen." "Mikael?" "Back from the dead?" "Enough." "You kept it from me." "Why, because of davina claire?" "To protect your plan." "She's never gonna trust me if she thinks i'm just" "A flying monkey to the wicked witch." "I've got it handled, mother." "I want that stake, and i don't care" "What you have to do to get it." "Vervain." "It's everywhere." "My relentless mother has set a trap." "I'll retrieve the marelok for you." "At what cost?" "Why don't you use your vampire abilities" "To end your doubts?" "Search my mind." "You'll see i'm not allied with your mother." "I have absolutely no interest" "In the inner workings of your brain." "I'm surprised at your cowardice." "While you stand here in fear of me," "Your brother suffers further." "Gather the orchids." "What'd your mother want from you?" "She wants me to take that stake" "Out of your bag, give it to her" "So that you can't kill klaus" "Before she gets her big, happy family." "Is that why you called me here?" "I'm not my mother's puppet." "I want something different entirely." "I want your blood." "Relax, luv." "I'm not gonna take it." "I'm asking you nicely." "Sure." "I'll just bleed for you" "Without any explanation at all." "About 100 years ago," "This tomb used to be my playhouse." "The witches i used to run with," "They used to make all kinds of magic in here," "That is, until i pissed the prettiest one off," "As i tend to do, and, well, she locked me out." "So why do you need my blood?" "Her name was mary-alice claire." "Only a claire witch can open this tomb." "Where'd you get all this stuff?" "Well, i was a vampire." "I could get anything i wanted," "But i couldn't practice witchcraft." "So i charmed some witches, and i taught them" "A new kind of magic that i learned in arabia" "Called kemiya." "We made items that allowed me to use magic" "Without doing magic." "You taught them how to make dark objects." "Yeah, and for a time," "They were scattered all around the city." "I can't for the life of me find out" "Where they are now, but..." "I've got the one that matters." "What is it?" "It's not about what it is." "It's about what it could be." "You want to take down klaus, right?" "I've wanted one thing for years..." "To drive a dagger into his heart" "Like he's done to me so many times." "Those daggers don't work on klaus." "Smart girl." "With a little practice and some trust," "We'll fix it so this one will." "We'll put him in a box." "Seeing as he won't be entirely dead," "Your friends will be safe." "So what do you say?" "Thank you." "This is amazing." "I developed an appreciation" "For the music when i moved here." "I never had a taste for it before." "I see you're still developing" "Your taste for beer." "My mom said beer wasn't ladylike." "So i learned to love it as an act of rebellion." "What about you?" "Snobby mom, distant dad?" "Let's go." "Well, my mother and i are quite close." "She made so many sacrifices for us," "Now anything she asks seem negligible in comparison." "Oh." "Hold on." "So sorry." "Can you hold this?" "Oh, i have to take this." "A friend is covering my shift." "I'll be right back." "I'm so sorry." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Hey!" "I've always seen a blade to have a very different use." "Mikael taught you to kill, klaus," "But you were born to create." "Power lies in embracing your true nature." "You think i should accept my mother's offer," "Sacrifice my vampirism." "Then what, become a florist?" "You wouldn't be sacrificing anything." "As a wolf, you could be king" "To an entire species." "You would feel true peace." "You would be a better father." "I am no longer a father." "In our animal form," "We feel everything more acutely." "When you were a boy, after each full moon," "I would wake closer to your village," "Having been drawn to you in the night." "Since i've been back, each month when i turn," "I wake further from new orleans." "I know the call of my own blood, klaus." "I know your child is still alive." "It was a wolf bite." "Who broke rank?" "I'll knock some heads together and find out." "I'll know where camile is shortly." "You'll meet me there." "Come alone" "Because your wolves can't be trusted." "Well, he bought it." "His locator spell will bring him here" "Without the bodyguards." "I always thought having a woman's mouth" "On my neck would be more erotic." "You'll heal fast." "Let's get all these lights off." "Here." "We're so going to hell for this." "Ha ha!" "Yeah." "You get used to it." "Hey, i know this probably isn't your ideal friday night." "I'm sure you'd rather be, like, doing pushups" "Or drinking beers with your bros or whatever." "Eh, it's not so bad." "Ok." "Tell me the plan one more time." "Aiden is gonna get vincent to the altar," "And then i'm gonna jump him." "He's powerful, though, so we only have" "A few seconds to get the shackles on him." "Where's marcel?" "He's looking for davina." "He heard she was back in town." "Overprotective dad stuff." "If you want to call ripping kol mikaelson" "Into 1,000 little pieces protective dad stuff," "Then, yeah, that's it." "The hunters who forged the originals daggers" "To take out my family didn't know that klaus" "Was part werewolf and vulnerable to silver." "Now, it's impossible to replicate" "The spell cast on the dagger..." "Trust me, i've tried..." "but it's not impossible" "To change the dagger itself." "Now, kemiya allows witches to destroy" "One element to create another," "Say, changing silver to gold, for example." "So you've been hanging out with me this whole time" "Because you don't have enough power on your own." "Oh, kemiya is about chemistry." "It's about connection, and after what happened" "With the white oak stake," "I don't think you could deny what we have." "So, here, hold my hand." "That's a giant diamond." "It's a paragon diamond." "They use them to conduct power." "Is the hand holding really necessary?" "I mean, we could make out," "But would that not be entirely distracting?" "All right." "Follow my lead." "Close your eyes." "Heh." "To replace the one i broke." "We changed it." "Oh, davina claire," "We're gonna change everything." "This will help elijah." "Ansel..." "I'd be lying if i said your offer wasn't appealing." "I've never known a parent to be a benevolent force." "I think i would have liked to have been your son," "But a different path was chosen for me," "And i have for the past 1,000 years" "Been son of mikael..." "paranoid, vengeful..." "And powerful enough to protect my daughter." "I want to help you defend her." "I believe you," "But love is what esther twists." "She will take the best of your intentions," "And she will use them to get to my little girl." "You waited too long" "Before you came to rescue me." "I won't make the same mistake with hope." "No." "No, klaus." "I know you." "You are not capable of this." "That's the first lie you've told me." "Uh!" "Oh..." "It's late." "I should get going." "Suppose you'll be wanting" "To get back to marcel's." "I lied to him about you." "Probably go back to the attic." "Voluntarily returning to the jail cell" "Where they locked you up." "You must have been lonely all that time." "A witch needs a coven, even if it is just two." "When can we work on the dagger?" "Soon." "We got some more work to do" "With each other first." "You're gonna like me, davina claire," "And i'm gonna let you pretend a while" "That you don't already." "Well, i staked it out." "Looks like a couple of oliver's friends" "Wanting to avenge his death." "Where's cami?" "She's tied up near the altar." "Hey, you know what?" "You beeline for her." "I'll handle the rest of them, all right?" "Aiden, your brother" "Was among the recruits that oliver rescued." "Was he not?" "Oh, no." "Camile!" "Camile!" "First, i'm gonna kick your ass," "And then i'm gonna take my pack back." "Your pack?" "Last i checked, your pack" "Was blindly following me." "Want to talk about following?" "How do your mother's boots taste, huh?" "Ha!" "What have you done with cami?" "Oh!" "Hybrids die by losing their head" "Or their heart." "Given the choice, i'm gonna take the organ" "That got you into this mess in the first place." "Aagh!" "Huh!" "Aagh!" "You would've done the same thing to me, finn." "Hey, are you ok?" "I'm so sorry i made you wait." "Your timing was pretty awesome, actually." "Ha ha!" "We were innocent once, elijah." "We were innocent once, elijah." "This bloodlust was forced upon us" "By our parents," "Turning us from prey to predator." "We are the demons lurking in shadow." "We are the savage villains" "In fairy tales told to children," "But not for my child, not for hope." "In her story," "We are the knights in shining armor." "Without you by my side, i don't think i can" "Survive my own love for my daughter." "I need you." "I need you, brother." "The monster in me can only be checked" "By the monster in you," "By the monster in you." "Only together can we defeat our demons" "And save our family." "Hraagh!" "We put vincent in the back of josh's car." "Is aiden all right?" "Mm, some ice and bourbon, he'll be fine." "How'd you know where to find us?" "I spent a lot of time tracking you when i was a wolf." "Call it animal instinct." "What do you mean?" "Oh, ollie used to give me so much hell" "For waiting on you." "Oh, girls came and went, but i always knew" "Someday you'd come." "See, our parents had been so sure" "That you and i could change things for the better." "Jack, i think the girl that you were waiting on" "Was andrea labonair, mythic revolutionary." "You got hayley marshall," "A knocked-up tomboy with a bad attitude." "You got dealt a crappy hand." "No." "You're right." "You're not the girl i waited for." "You're better." "What is it?" "I spent the day with my father," "My real father." "Esther brought him back from the dead" "Believing he could convince me" "To renounce vampirism," "And the thought of what i could be" "Had i been raised by him..." "I'd have been nurtured." "This was his." "He knew about hope..." "And i wanted to trust him." "More than anything in the world, i wanted to," "But..." "Uh..." "I couldn't be sure," "And i would never forgive myself" "If something happened to her" "Because of my selfish desire for a father." "So i killed him." "Without hesitation, i killed him." "You killed him for hope." "Whatever innocence remains" "We must protect at any cost." "Yaah!" "Oh..." "Sorry." "We're closed." "That's too bad." "I hear you serve the best sazerac in town." "Camile, isn't it?" "My sons have taken quite the liking to you." "How do you feel?" "The worst has passed..." "Though i suspect the nightmares" "Are far from over." "Well, gather your strength." "After the message i sent mother tonight," "I expect hellfire to rain down upon us imminently." "We need to make a move before she strikes." "Actually, moves were made while you were sleeping." "It's good to see you vertical." "Marcel and i each left a gift for you in the ballroom." "You're welcome." "Kidnapping." "It's a rather unpleasant way to begin a family reunion." "Well, wait until you see how we end it."
