"Damon:" "Previously on "the Vampire Diaries"..." "You must be Elena." "How do we look exactly alike?" "Klaus:" "I killed the doppelganger." "I broke the curse." "So what am I doing wrong?" "You'd have to contact the witch who created it." "That would be the original witch." "The necklace is a talisman from the original witch herself." " Hi Katherine." " Feel like hitting the road?" "Why not?" "little sister." "there was a man looking for you." " You both seemed afraid." " Who was that man?" " What's wrong?" " He was asking about Michael." "I can sense it." "You're holding on to something." "I thought I would see for myself what it is you've been hiding." "Stefan." "[Rattling]" "[Rattling continues]" "[Matt breathing heavily]" "[Doors open]" "[Clattering]" "[Mouse traps snapping] come on!" "Seriously?" "!" "Do you know how long it took for us to set all this up?" "!" "huh?" " Clearly." " How could you forget?" "We've only been waiting for this since like freshman year." "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." "and if we don't... then what's the point of it all?" "I don't care." "You're all lame." "And I've got ten more classrooms to prank." "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "To superglue Alaric's desk shut." "I'm making memories." "I love you! and Dana needs bodies in the gym." "Let's go." "[Chuckles]" "Mmm." "[Gasps]" " There's my girl." " Klaus!" "You're supposed to be dead." "What are we going to do about that?" "[Music playing]" "== resync by" "Katherine:" "Are you hungry?" "Let's stop for a bite." "A truck stop." "Or a trucker." "stop being cute." " It's not possible." "We've been driving around aimlessly for hours." "Where are we going?" "Far enough away so that you can't go running back." "Not to worry." "Mystic Falls and I are on a bit of a break." "or you and Elena?" "Let's just say Elena and I are having a bit of difference of opinion on how I should behave. and you don't like playing pretend." "Something like that." "Her loss." "[Music playing]" "[Groans]" "[Sighs] What are you doing?" "I thought I'd give it a shot." "you just don't do it for me anymore." "[Stefan groaning]" "he lives." " What happened?" " You took a beating." "My brother's been breaking your neck all afternoon." "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'd been hiding." "I'm not hiding anything." "I've done everything Klaus has asked me to." "you just failed to mention that the doppelganger's still alive." "Where is Klaus now?" "ripping that cow's bloody head off." "Where is she?" "don't you?" "Consider me jealous." "[Groaning] sweetheart." "The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids. it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing." "just do it!" "Not until I know I'm right." "But I do have ways of making you suffer." "[Elena groans] indistinct chatter]" "seniors." "You have officially been busted." "Prank night is over." "[All groaning] Head on home." "[Normal voice] You two." "I remember you." "I'm sorry." "Who are you?" "I wasn't in my right head last time we met." "Dana." "I want you to beat her to death." "Understood?" "Klaus." "You don't have to hurt anybody." "love." "Of course I do." "[Music playing]" "Why are we stopping?" "I thought we might want to stretch our legs." "Take a break from the sexual tension." "I'm tired of driving." " It's your turn." " Fine." "Hey!" "I..." "We're not going anywhere until you spill your guts." "[Scoffs]" "Fine." "hmm?" "A little birdy told me that Klaus wants to get his hands on it." "Why would Klaus want Elena's necklace?" "and I have it." "Damon." "Always stay one step ahead of your enemy." "I found out something else..." "Something better." "yeah?" "What's that?" "Are you willing to do whatever it takes to stop Klaus?" " No turning back?" " I'm not turning back." "Good. 'Cause this isn't going to win you any points at home." "[Sighs]" "Jeremy?" "Really?" "Do you think Matt's going to be ok?" "I'm kissing you and you're wondering about your ex-boyfriend? is ok." "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." "you know?" "I just want everyone to be happy." "Even in the midst of all the crazy unhappy bits." "I'm happy." "Rebekah:" "You two are adorable." "do we know you?" "which makes you Tyler." "The werewolf." "And who are you?" "I'm the new girl." "Caroline!" "[Screams] right?" "You sound like Caroline." "I am embracing her philosophy." "You should be more into this." "I know." "Where's Jeremy tonight?" "I haven't talked to him all day." "um... he told me about seeing Vicki." "I'm glad that you know." "I'm sorry." "Is it weird talking about your sister like this?" "you know?" "I never got to say good-bye to her." "[Exhales] you and I were lifeguards at the pool?" "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. and..." "I'm..." "I'm just a guy who's wondering how life got so screwed up." "Matt." "I..." "I can't imagine what it must be like for you. kind of explains why I'm not that into senior prank night." "I'll go grab a couple more rolls." "Then we hit the gym." "Matt." "I can help you." "[Groaning] Keep it up." "Where's Stefan?" "What did you do to him?" "Stefan's on a time out." "[Door opens] get out of here!" "I was wondering when you'd show up." "Now we can get started." "why don't you relax?" "You and Chad sit tight." "I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive?" "blame me." "love." "Just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects." "I'm going to have you find the fix." " Get off of me!" " Hush now." "I'd like you all to meet my sister Rebekah." "Word of warning..." "She can be quite mean." " Don't be an ass." " Leave him alone!" "I'm going to make this very simple... they die during the transition." "actually." "[Groaning]" "Bonnie." "And for Tyler's sake..." "You better hurry." "[Gasps]" "[Crickets chirping]" "[Groaning]" "[Groaning and grunting]" "He killed him." "He's not dead." "Klaus's blood will turn him into a vampire. he'll live through his transition." "then." "Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not." "I'll hold on to Elena..." "For safe-keeping." "So this is the latest doppelganger." "The original one was much prettier." "Rebekah." "would you?" "Just ignore her." "Petty little thing." "Matt:" "What are you going to do?" "I have no idea." "The curse he's talking about is a thousand years old." "My grimoires don't go back that far." "Can you ask those dead witches that helped you before?" "I don't have contact with them anymore..." "They cut me off when I brought Jeremy back to life." "That's it!" "I can't contact the dead." "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." "lying and drunk." " Do you remember my friend Pearl?" " Vividly." "she told me about a vampire who knew how to kill Klaus." "Then she wouldn't tell me any more." "why not?" " Because it was her leverage. and wouldn't share it with me." "this is all great..." "But she's dead." "Which is why I never brought it up." "Because she only ever told one other person." " Who?" " Her daughter." " Anna." " Also dead." "Which brings us right back around to..." "Jeremy:" "To me." "[Jeremy groaning]" "Back around to me." "[Door opens]" "Stefan..." "Klaus." "mate?" "I came to ask for your forgiveness." "And pledge my loyalty." "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." "don't." "He's not going to hurt me." "He already said... ahh!" "She means nothing to you?" "Your lies just keep piling up." "you have my word!" "Your word doesn't mean much. during which time I never had to resort to this..." "Stop fighting." "don't do this." "I didn't want to." "All I wanted was your allegiance." "Now I'm going to have to take it." "Don't..." "Don't..." "You will do exactly as I say when I say it. you will simply just obey." "No!" "Stefan!" "Now kill them." "Ripper." "[Groaning[" "[gasping]" "This isn't going to work." "[Cell phone vibrates] [Scoffs]" "I think that your witchy girlfriend's worried that you've run away with your ghostly lover." "Stop with the teeny bopper drama." "Focus." "[Exhales]" "I'm not helping them." "it's ok to help." "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 want to help you." "[Clears throat]" " My advice?" " Hmm?" "you have to break a few eggs." "it's nothing personal." " Ow!" "What the hell?" "!" " Jeremy!" "I know you can hear me." "Tell us what you know." "the better for your little boyfriend here." " They're looking for Mikael." " Mikael!" "Mikael." "Is that his name?" "Who's Mikael?" "The vampire who hunts vampires." "You don't want to wake him." "He will kill all of you." " What's she saying?" " Hello! and you guys would be idiots to wake him." "wake him?" "It's time to go find the keys." "Mm-hmm." "[Groaning]" "We didn't have mobile telephones in my day." "I suppose." "[Click]" "[Chuckles]" "Where's Tyler?" "He's dead." "Ish." "[Gasping]" "What did you do to him?" "Think of it as he's having a nap." "he'll be a hybrid." "Ugh." "Vomit." "Is that my neck..." "Why is that doppelganger bitch wearing my necklace?" "!" "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." "love." "He's the one dancing on the table." "[Door opens] Rebekah:" "Where is it?" "!" "Where's my necklace?" " What are you talking about?" " She has my necklace." "Look." "well." "More lies." "Where..." "Ls it?" " I don't have it anymore." " You're lying!" "[Shrieking]" "Knock it off!" "Nik!" "[Groaning] sweetheart?" "Be honest." "I'm telling the truth." "Katherine stole it." "Katerina." "Of course." "that's unfortunate." "If we had the necklace it would make things shall we?" "[Buzzer sounds] 20 minutes." "I want you to feed on Elena." "You know you want to." "Klaus!" "Don't do this to him!" "fracture her spine." "Did you find Jeremy?" "No!" "I called him like 20 times." "we'll head to his house." "Ok." "I'll meet you by your truck." "What the hell?" "you've got to be kidding me!" "Matt!" "but I need you to hear me." "Whoa!" "Vicki?" "[Cell phone rings]" "What is taking so long? but 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 but I'm going to need your help." " Meet me at the pool." " I don't understand." "Jeremy can see ghosts because you brought him back from the dead." "I need you to do that for me." "that's crazy!" "trust me." "I can't do that kind of magic anymore." "Bonnie." "You just have to be better than I was at CPR." "Jer." "You might have a concussion." "Dick." "stop pouting." "He took one for the team." "Everyone back home will thank you once Klaus is dead." "Where's my phone?" "Do you need to check in with Elena?" "Make sure it's ok you pummeled her little baby bro?" "You know you have it." "What can I say?" "I needed you present here and now." "now." "[Sighs]" "Bonnie's been texting me." "What is it?" "Damon." "look at the big picture." "The best shot at taking out Klaus is by finding Mikael." "Stay with her so Anna can guide you." "I'm going back." "You're going to get yourself killed." "The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid." "I wouldn't have done it for you." "[Grunting] please!" "I can't do this." "There's nothing else I can do!" "Vicki:" "Matt." "Matt." "Vicki?" "Matt." "Please!" "I can see you." "I need you to listen to me very carefully." "I don't have much time." "what's happening?" "Where are we?" "It doesn't matter." "I need you to give Bonnie a message." "[Gasping]" "It's ok." "You're ok." "Caroline's dad!" "he was able to resist compulsion." "but he did it." "Maybe it's possible." "right?" "a couple decades of training." "you can control this. just... just drink from me." "Elena!" "I'm a ripper!" "A ripper doesn't stop! 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 want to know what's worse?" "I'm not going to be able to stop." "I don't believe that." "You can fight it." "You just have to want it bad enough." "because I love you?" " Yeah!" "Stefan." "Because you love me. you owe me that!" "you're right." "You're right." "I owe you everything." "you are the one thing that has kept me from giving up;" "from turning it all off." "Elena. and if I get so much as near yours..." "You are dead." "[Gasping and coughing]" "Hey!" "Shhh." "[Gasping]" "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." "sweets." "You'll only survive if your witch is successful." "If not..." "You're pretty much dead." "You're going to be ok." "Ok?" "It's going to be ok." "I wonder how she's doing." "Tick tock goes the gym clock." "I'm going to kill you." "I saw Vicki." "You did?" " She said she had a message for you." " For me?" "From the witch that put the hybrid curse on Klaus." "She said that Elena shouldn't have survived Klaus' ritual." "The hybrids can't transition because Elena's still alive." "isn't he?" "I wouldn't be too sure about that." "I go hybrid every time." "you're going to have run." "But Klaus said that if I run... it won't matter." "please." "There's no other way." "Stefan." "It's for you to fight." "[Buzzer sounds]" "Stefan..." "I love you." "Stefan." "Don't give up." "I can't hold it." "Aaah!" "run!" "Go!" "We've got to stop meeting like this." "[Groaning]" "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." "No!" "Turn it off!" "What did you do?" "I fixed him." "don't you?" "Ripper..." "Perhaps you'd like a drink..." "[Inhales sharply]" "From the doppelganger's neck." "Aaah!" "the verdict's in." "The original witch says the doppelganger should be dead." "Does that mean we can kill her?" "I'm fairly certain it means the opposite." "What?" "!" "Call it a hunch..." "Elena's blood." "Drink it." "don't!" "love." "Consider this an experiment." "It's ok." "There we go." "Good boy." "[Grunting]" "Tyler?" "No!" "shut up!" "[Groaning]" "[Screaming]" "that's a good sign." "[Groans]" "Where am I?" "sweetie." "You suffered through a terrible ordeal." "I have to get out of here." "Ah." "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] Ah!" "sweetie." "He told me you need plenty of rest." "So the doppelganger 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 honestly 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." "it makes sense if you think about it from her perspective." "It was her failsafe in case I ever broke the hybrid curse." "The doppelganger had to die 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 take my hybrid the hell out of this one pony town. why don't you get the truck?" "I'll get Elena." "look who finally decided to show up to the party." " Where is she?" "Elena?" "she's making a donation to a greater cause." "mate." "I keep my word. he probably doesn't care that much anymore." "You don't want to know about your friend Mikael?" "What do you know about Mikael?" "Just that he knows you're here." "You're bluffing." "Katherine and I found him." "Consider it our leverage." "[Groaning]" "[Music playing]" "Damon..." "Hey." "[Music playing]" "Are you sure you're ok?" "Caroline." "phenomenal." "It's a rush." "I wish I could explain it." "Everything's just..." "Better." "[Laughs] Oh!" "This is going to be an amazing year." "[Chuckles]" "Hey." "You ready?" "I could still use a ride over to Jeremy's." "just a second." "Listen to me." "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." "Matt." "You are the only one of us who actually no matter how lost you feel." "Don't forget that." "Bonnie." "ok?" "Vicki's here. ok? I just..." "Vickie?" "Mattie." "have some bourbon." "It'll help you forget." "[Sips] Mmm." "it's strong." "too." "At least 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 get... to help him." "Now he's just..." "Gone." "Damon?" "I shouldn't have left." "I promise you..." "I will never leave you again." "isn't this cozy?" "brother? I live here." "but he's asked me to keep watch on you until he returns." "you're under my protection." "by all means." "Carry on." "Katherine:" "How do you know that Anna wasn't tricking you?" "Jeremy:" "This is the place." "It's the oldest wing of the largest cemetery in Charlotte." "She said that a witch entombed them here in the nineties." "Look there." "[Grunts]"
