"Previously on "The Originals"..." "We take Hope and the pack," "And we leave town tonight." "There's a jazz club in Algiers." "Josephine is fortifying it as a sanctuary against magic." "Pack your things." "Klaus:" "So while my hands are full," "I need you to serve as my eyes and ears." "I can't just stab him in the back." "I don't know if you have a choice." "He should be here by now." "Something must have happened." "Everything ok?" "Are we going to Algiers or what?" "Right now, that club is the safest place in town." "You lost the one thing that you could have used against me," "The weapon you created." "No!" "Freya:" "This was not my plan." "You rushed it and made but a single weapon." "Your materials are easily found." "Unh!" "Ohh!" "Viking ashes are indeed rare," "But all you really need is a burning viking corpse." "I must use you to send a message to all those who would side against me." "[music playing]" "Is something the matter, brother?" "Could I fix you a drink perhaps?" "Strangely enough, Niklaus, I'm not in a mimosa mood." "Fantastic!" "More for me." "Let's discuss strategy, shall we, Niklaus." "Just wondering if you actually have one." "We can begin with Mikael's ashes." "Given that they are the main ingredient in our weapon against Dahlia," "Would you care to tell me where they disappeared to?" "Elijah, I have compelled the city's finest pastry chef for your personal edification," "And yet you ignore my efforts in favor of needless concerns." "Can we stop talking so loudly?" "Give me that." "What's the matter?" "New witch body not up to last night's bender?" "So I had a few." "It's not every day you lose your father at the hands of your brother again." "Who ever said opportunity only knocks once, eh?" "Heh heh heh." "Oh, come on!" "We all fled" "Mikael's tyranny together for centuries." "I would have thought the mood this morning might be a bit more jubilant." "Under normal circumstances," "The annihilation of our father would be rather commendable, Niklaus." "Unfortunately, we have a greater threat to contend with." "You know, for someone who's been invited to a celebratory breakfast," "You're proving quite the buzz kill." "Well, Niklaus if indeed anything has killed the buzz," "As you say, perhaps it was because murdering father alienated the one person who truly knows how to defeat Dahlia." "If Freya wants to be a part of this family," "She should be willing to accept us," "Warts and all." "Rebekah:" "Elijah's right." "Freya loved Mikael," "And you've likely ruined everything." "Pity." "Whatever shall I do?" "Whatever you please apparently." "Do not mistake my high spirits for lack of clarity." "I know full well the threat we face," "And I intend to deal with it personally." "Someone's here." "Josephine." "Forgive me for calling so early, Elijah," "But I've come bearing a message from your aunt Dahlia." "She is owed a debt, and she means to be paid." "She can writhe in hell first." "For merely taking what your mother promised her?" "If you must harbor hatred, isn't it better spent on the one who traded your child away a thousand years ago?" "Blame Esther if you must," "But I seek only to fulfill a bargain," "A bargain that consequently resulted in your very existence." "Perhaps you should be thanking me." "Dahlia." "My child, I prefer aunt Dahlia." "You dare enter my home?" "I only came for what is mine." "The time has come to add the child's power to my own, though I do not detect her here." "I see you've used a spell to cloak her." "No matter." "Such spells will yield," "As will you." "Say your farewells." "You have till nightfall tomorrow," "And then the child shall be mine." "Be a dear and inform the mother." "No reason we can't be civilized about this." "Hayley:" "Ok." "Good news..." "Dahlia still doesn't know that we're here." "Bad news... she's given us until tomorrow night," "And then she's coming for Hope." "Well, I say we get the hell out of here." "Look, jack." "I want to go as much as you do," "But think." "Freya said that Dahlia was drawn to Hope's magic." "No matter how far we go, she's still gonna be able to track us." "At least this place is spelled." "No one can do magic here, not Hope or Dahlia." "Sure this place is spelled," "But we've seen bigger magic than this break." "I say we run while we can." "It's a risk either way." "She's just so little." "It's not fair." "Witchcraft and magical spells." "She didn't ask for any of this," "Which means that she wouldn't miss it if it was gone." "Jack, maybe that's it." "Dahlia can only sense her when she's using magic," "So what if there's a way of stopping her from doing it in the first place?" "She's just a baby." "How we gonna do that?" "I have an idea," "Although it's dangerous," "Especially now." "Aiden:" "Let me do it." "Look." "Whatever it is," "It's my fault you guys didn't get away yesterday." "That wasn't your fault, Aiden." "Please just give me a chance to make it up to you." "Freya, I am so sorry." "About what?" "Certainly not our father." "I alone mourn him as I alone loved him," "And now because of Klaus," "My father is taken from me once more." "I never knew the man you're now mourning." "He showed more tenderness to you yesterday than we have ever seen." "All I can recall is his terrible temper," "His awful cruelty, especially to Klaus." "That is not an excuse." "Isn't it?" "I know that Klaus can be infuriating," "Treacherous even," "But there is no one better to have by your side against someone like Dahlia." "Klaus wants Hope safe just as much as you want your freedom." "We need to work together." "Oh, how can you defend him?" "I was abducted by Dahlia," "Spent years under her control," "And yet he acts as if I am the enemy." "I have given you all every reason to trust me," "And still Klaus rejects me." "In all honesty..." "I cannot understand why you would continue to trust him." "You and Elijah have a choice." "From now on, it's either Klaus or me." "You do understand there is no time." "Niklaus, if Mikael's ashes are the key to ending Dahlia," "Then surely you must see the need to share their whereabouts." "I see nothing of the sort." "It is no secret that you often strategize while painting." "I assume you have a plan, Nik." "You ask that I share my strategies so you can run straight to Freya and bring her into the circle of trust." "I think not." "It is too dangerous for you, brother." "You cannot do this alone." "And whom should I trust to protect Hope?" "Our newfound sister with duplicitous motives of her own?" "Hayley, whose allegiance to her husband grows stronger by the day," "Or how about Jackson," "The self-declared king of the wolves?" "You need only trust me." "I would love to, Elijah." "Now more than ever, I need my brother," "My closest ally, by blood..." "But you have not been the same since mother got inside your head." "Your judgment is not what it was." "You are not what you were." "The Elijah I know would never have clung so desperately to the word of a duplicitous stranger," "Telling him what he wants to hear." "Freya is our blood, brother." "She also has every reason to want Dahlia's demise." "We have no cause to distrust her." "Which is a far cry from being trustworthy." "She vanquished Finn, yes," "But only after she herself resurrected him," "And though lauded for saving Rebekah from Eva Sinclair," "How do we know she didn't have a hand in waking that demon in the first place?" "Niklaus, if we cannot trust one another," "We can't work together." "No." "We cannot." "Aiden." "To what do I owe this visit?" "I just wanted to tell you that Hayley, Jackson, and Hope are at Marcel's jazz club," "And they're safe there, very well protected." "Well, you can hardly be my eyes and ears there if you're standing before me." "Why are you here?" "Uh, for this." "Hayley said she left it here yesterday." "I guess it's Hope's favorite." "Hmm." "Your loyalty is refreshing." "Heh." "However..." "Your life will be worth less than the velveteen on this little rabbit if I find my faith in you has been misplaced." "Understood?" "Aiden:" "Klaus doesn't suspect a thing." "Oh, right." "Yes, I'm sure that" "Klaus "color me paranoid" Mikaelson totally fell for your whole" ""I came across the river for Hope's bunny" ruse." "Look." "These manacles are spelled to neutralize witch power, right?" "So, Davina, if you could transfer the magic from these onto something smaller, just think about it." "If the baby can't give off magic," "Then Dahlia won't be able to track her." "I could try, but what difference does it make?" "I thought the baby was already safe." "Jackson and Hayley are getting ready to run." "Wow." "Good for them." "If Kol had asked me to run before he got hexed," "Well, he wouldn't have had to ask me twice." "Ok." "Let's say I do this." "Aren't we forgetting one really important thing?" "If Klaus finds out what you did..." "Let me worry about that." "[rustling, voices whispering]" "Hayley:" "They're Dahlias." "She knows we're here." ""Tadadi."" "[no signal tone]" ""Tadadi."" "[dials] [no signal tone]" "Oh, come on." "[crack]" "Aah!" "I need you to go get help now." "Go, go!" "[crack]" "[whistling melody] [whistling continues]" "Rebekah:" "So that's it?" "I'm to choose between the brother" "I've known a thousand years and the sister I've always wanted," "And of course, Nik doesn't exactly make it easy with his ruddy painting." "It's like he's just fiddling away while Rome burns." "Klaus is at his best when there's an enemy he needs to take down." "I guarantee he's got a plan." "And what if that plan doesn't bear fruit before nightfall tomorrow?" "We've been through worse, all right?" "We'll get through this." "[sighs]" "I wish I could just ship him off to bloody Sardinia or somewhere with his paints and his wine cellar until this all blows over." "So what's the alternative?" "We can't go up against him," "We got no way to put him down." "No." "Instead, here we are, gearing up for the fight of our lives, and all anyone can worry about is his next move." "I had a feeling I would be seeing you." "I understand you built a marker for father." "I wish to contribute this." "How did you..." "Niklaus stole it from Mikael long ago." "He would use it to carve these tiny, little wooden figurines for Rebekah and myself." "Like your own, his was not a happy childhood." "Art was something of a sanctuary for Niklaus and remains so to this day." "Do you tell me this so I might sympathize with him as you do incessantly?" "I assume Rebekah gave you my ultimatum." "I don't accept ultimatums," "Nor will I make a choice between yourself and Niklaus." "I will not trust my freedom to an alliance with Klaus," "Which means you will fight Dahlia alone," "And you will lose." "You came to us, tired of running," "Desperate to be free," "And searching for the kind of strength that can only come from family." "Now with or without you," "Klaus and I will defeat Dahlia," "And I would prefer you to be by our side." "You would ask me to stay and watch as we all become Dahlia's chattel." "Stay..." "And we defeat Dahlia together," "Or you may leave and consign yourself to a life of solitude." "My sister, is there really any choice?" "Swear to me that you will not allow" "Klaus to be our undoing." "Bad time?" "Camille." "Ah, yes." "As I've recently proved disagreeable," "I assume Elijah asked you here to play therapist to the savage best." "Actually, I was just gonna say you look like you could use some fresh air." "Maybe we could go for a walk." "You could spend, I don't know, 5 seconds not obsessing about who not to trust and who you're gonna murder next." "I quite enjoy my obsessions," "Thank you very much." "Fear not." "I shall tell Elijah you came as asked," "And you may leave assured your duty is fulfilled." "Klaus..." "Talk to me and not because Elijah sent me." "[footsteps]" "It's ok, baby girl." "[gasps]" "What a beauty." "Hello, my child." "I was hoping for a more intimate chat," "Though I sense by entering you would have me at a considerable disadvantage." "Why don't you come on in?" "I'd love to show you some hybrid hospitality." "I only wanted to see the little one who has been promised to me." "Won't be long now." "Surely you've noticed the spell protecting you is growing weaker." "If you lay a finger on her," "I swear I will make you suffer in ways even your evil mind can't imagine." "Hayley, is it?" "I have no quarrel with you." "Esther made this bargain long ago." "It's most unfortunate that you've been dragged into it." "You talk like you don't have a choice," "But this is your doing." "When I give my word, I keep it," "And I expect others to do the same." "Esther and I made a bargain a long time ago," "And so, you see, that child is rightfully mine." "The only question that you need ask is would you deny me," "Knowing that it would mean your death?" "You're not taking her." "You're frightened for your child." "Heh." "I can assure you anything that Freya may have told you about our life together," "Well, she always had a flair for the dramatic." "Well, it seems to run in the family." "Well, then of course, most of my troubles with Freya stemmed from the fact that I came for her so late in life." "She had such a strong memory of the family that I took her from," "But Hope is still young." "She won't cling to the memory of you or cry for you in her sleep." "You can take comfort in the fact that for her it will be as if you never existed." "Come closer." "Let's see how a witch with no magic does against me." "[Hope crying]" "Well..." "You've upset the child." "Pity." "You ought not to waste your last hours with her this way." "You should spend your time saying your farewells." "Nightfall tomorrow will come all too soon." "Good-bye for now, little one." "Cami:" "Have you ever thought about how hard this must have been for Freya," "Being raised by this woman?" "I mean, you of all people should at least have some compassion for that." "Yes, yes, poor Freya, but that's my point exactly." "I of all people know whether the parent raising you loves you or loathes you, they still form who you are." "After all this time, am I not Mikael's son," "And therefore, is Freya not just as dangerous as Dahlia herself?" "We've been talking for 20 minutes," "And that's the first time you brought up Mikael." "I see no reason to dwell on the deceased." "You made an alliance with him," "You fought beside him," "And then you killed him." "Yes, for the second time." "Your point?" "You don't have any feelings about that?" "My only feeling is a lingering sense of annoyance that he didn't stay dead the first time." "I don't believe you." "Mikael raised you." "And I ended him..." "After the first good day we ever had together." "We actually made quite a team," "And just when it looked as though we might for once be allies," "I drove a stake through his heart." "Because he said he loved Freya?" "Or maybe it's just what I do..." "Kill my enemies, sometimes my friends." "This may come as a surprise to you, Camille," "But I'm not a terribly good person." "Josh:" "So after I realized that I was spending," "Like, 3 hours a day on Reddit," "I just thought, "this stupid, you know?" "I'm just gonna start reading the times-picayune,"" "I mean, even though it is, like," "The weirdest name ever for a newspaper." "It's..." " Josh." " Huh?" "I love you." "Oh, no." "What are you gonna do?" "Here's the thing." "I am who I am, ok?" "Loyalty is in my DNA, but I can't live with myself if I'm spying for Klaus because I'm not cut out to be a double agent," "So I'm gonna tell Jackson everything." "What?" "Because it's so much better to be killed by Jackson than Klaus?" "And even if he doesn't kill you, then what?" "Then meet me in two hours." "Let's get out of here and finally start our life together." "Wow!" "You really want to just..." "Go..." "With me?" "Like I said, I am who I am." "I'm a pack guy, and you are my pack now." "Uh, leave?" "Ok." "Yeah." "Wow." "Heh." "I mean... heh..." "I'm finally pronouncing all the street names right," "And I know I..." "I did die here and all," "But, well, this was the first place" "I ever felt like myself." "I know this is all really fast," "But if you want this," "I'll see you in two hours." "Yes." "I'll be there." "Of course, I'll be there." "Ok." "Good." "Hey, Aiden." "I love you, too." "Whoa!" "Hold it." "It's just me." "I..." "I come in peace." "You should know better than to sneak up on me." "I wasn't sneaking." "Just haven't talked to you in a while." "What do you want, Marcel?" "Look." "I know you been going through a hard time," "Holed up in here ever since Kol died," "Trying to bring him back." "What do you care?" "You hated him anyway." "Oh, I didn't hate him." "I just didn't much like him," "And to be honest, I really didn't like him for you." "You know, I can be a little protective." "Yeah." "Understatement of the year." "You know, even though I appreciate you saving me from Eva..." "You never once bothered to ask me how I felt after Kol died." "And even after all the crazy things that I've been through," "That was the worst." "That's when I needed you most." "You're right." "I'm truly sorry that I wasn't there for you," "But we have a problem..." "Klaus." "What else is new?" "Kol told me that you guys were working on a weapon to use against him." "Rebekah heard that it was a dagger," "One that would work even on Klaus." "I need to know if you finished it." "And what if we did?" "Look, D, nobody in this city is safe with this witch Dahlia coming around." "Now Klaus is off the rails," "And he won't trust anyone," "And he won't share the one weapon that will take down this witch." "If things go south," "That dagger might come in handy." "Kol gave me that dagger for my protection." "I'll be the one who decides if it gets used." "Now I have to get back to work." "Your transparent attempts to therapize me failed, brother." "I suggest you allow me to make my way home in peace." "Enough with the games, Niklaus." "Now is not the time." "Must I beseech you to stand with us?" "If by "us" you mean you and Freya," "Then I will not be standing with you." "She is the best chance we have to save your child." "Yes, Elijah, my child," "Which is why, although she feigns innocence," "I can't help but recall it was Freya who led our lunatic brother Finn to the safe house," "Where he would have done god knows what if you had not intervened." "I was a breath away from taking your life." "Just a few short years ago when you broke your curse," "I held your beating heart in my hand." "Do you recall that, Niklaus?" "And yet here we are still alive," "Still family." "Now we need her, Niklaus." "Freya is our family." "If you cannot see the greater picture here..." "You see only around the next curve in the road." "I am looking from above." "Freya gave herself away when she complained of our single weapon to kill Dahlia." "Now I know there is a way to defeat our hated enemy without her." "So enlighten me, and I will do everything in my power to help you." "Forsake Freya, and I will let you in." "Niklaus, this is insane." "Hope is also my family." "Now if you continue to walk this path," "You will lead her towards harm." "And do not fail to understand me when I say this to you." "I will do whatever it takes to prevent this." "So will I." "So the choice remains yours, brother..." "Freya or me." "Yeah." "So Davina says Hope shouldn't be able to do any magic if she's wearing that and... oh... to tell you good luck." "You did good, Aiden." "Come on." "Wait." "There's, uh, something," "I need to, um..." "Look." "Um, the reason you didn't get out of the compound last night was because of me." "You can't control traffic, buddy." "No." "I..." "I did it on purpose for Klaus." "He sucked me in." "He appealed to my stupid ego," "Told me everything that I wanted to hear." "Ok." "Last night, he wanted me to watch you guys." "Jax, if I had let you escape," "He would have killed me..." "I guess I deserved that." "Ahem." "This thing that Klaus said that you wanted to hear," "What was it?" "He told me I made a good alpha." "What a joke, right?" "An alpha would never turn on his pack." "Neither did you in the end." "All I know is that today you risked your life for Hayley and for Hope," "So you have to take my forgiveness." "I don't deserve to be a part of the pack," "So I'm leaving." "Uh, yeah." "Josh and I are getting out of here." "All right." "If you need to take some time like I did," "Do it," "But you'll always be a part of this pack, ok?" "I'm not ready to lose you yet." "Jackson, uh..." "Just take care of yourself," "You know, and watch your back with Klaus." "Come here, you idiot." "Ha ha ha!" "Of course I tried to call you, Elijah," "But since Dahlia was able to take down both Klaus and Mikael," "I am guessing that a cell phone tower was a piece of cake." "And where were the wolves who stood guard?" "Getting their asses handed to them by Dahlia just like Klaus did." "That's it." "You're coming with me to the compound." "Where Dahlia sent Josephine this morning." "No way." "We'd be sitting ducks just like we will be here as soon as that spell breaks," "Which is why we have to go." "Jackson is out getting supplies," "And then we're taking the wolves," "And we're headed to the bayou." "The swamp so my child can be protected by the very wolves" "Dahlia so easily defeated?" "Absolutely not." "You know, I am so over taking advice from you, Klaus." "All it has done so far is put Hope in danger." "From now on, I am gonna do what I want to do." "We're leaving." "You're not going anywhere unless I tell you to." "I am not your prisoner, Klaus." "Both of you, please." "We're playing into Dahlia's hands." "Not doing as I say plays into her hands." "While you two have been kowtowing to Freya and devising ways to flee with your tail between your legs," "I've been forging a new path." "I know what Freya was planning," "And I know how to kill Dahlia." "[Dahlia whistling melody]" "Dahlia:" "Too bad." "They were almost as young and beautiful as you." " What are you..." " Hello, Aiden, sweet boy." "We should get started." "Don't fear." "This will be over quickly." "Unh!" "You are what is known as a tipping point to set Mikaelson against Mikaelson." "Aah!" "It is true you are a minor player," "Though it only takes one match to burn down acres of forest." "In my plan to divide and conquer," "You are the perfect kindling." "Aah!" "Why are you doing this to me?" "Because... [bones cracking]" "I need to make it look convincing." "I promise we'll move somewhere cool so you'll want to come visit." "Any preferences, like, uh, Berlin," "Rio, Joberg?" "You know I'd go anywhere to see you." "You know, I..." "I hate to leave right after kol and all." "I feel like a jerk." "No." "I..." "I'm glad for you guys." "Really, I am." "I... it'd be too depressing if one of us didn't get a happy ending." "What the..." "No!" "No!" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." "Aiden?" "Aiden!" "Klaus:" "Freya objected to us making a single weapon because it spoilt her plan." "Jackson:" "Klaus!" "Jack?" "Klaus!" "Oh, my god!" "What happened?" "Klaus made Aiden spy on us." "Instead, he told me everything," "So you killed him!" "Hayley:" "You killed him," "One of the wolves sworn to protect our daughter?" "So what if I did?" "This is what happens to anyone who dares cross me!" "Just give us the word, Jackson." "Yes!" "Come and have a go," "But you'll be putting your life on the line for one who was all too willing to betray you." "Perhaps this never would have happened if he'd have had a real alpha." "Unh!" "Err!" "Do you wish to die?" "[growls]" "You want to kill me, too, Elijah?" "Elijah:" "If you come at him," "You come at me." "You lot should make better use of your time." "I suggest burying your dead." "Get out!" "Niklaus, you mentioned a plan." "I recommend you begin." "Hayley and Hope are safe for the time being." "They're not going anywhere." "Shan't be long." "I can't believe this is happening." "My brother's lost his bloody mind." "You really think those wolves are gonna fight to protect Hope now?" "He ruins everything he touches," "Turns everyone against us." "Davina:" "Marcel?" "We just heard." "Is Josh with you?" "No." "When Jackson came to get Aiden's body," "He just took off." "D." "D, I'm so sorry." "I brought something for you." "Is that what I think it is?" "The dagger kol and I made." "I want you to use it." "I want you to put Klaus down." "Nice job today." "First Klaus kills Aiden," "And then you defend him?" "I was protecting Hope." "Yeah." "Well, if that's true, then what happens now?" "Somehow, I don't think that Klaus is gonna be able to save us." "He loves her." "I love her." "Well, if you do, then let us leave." "If you run to the bayou, I cannot protect you from Dahlia or Niklaus." "We have a way of keeping Hope from doing magic." "Dahlia won't be able to track us down." "Jackson knows every inch of the bayou." "He can protect us, and I know that Marcel will help us get out of the city." "The only thing standing in our way is you." "What are you asking me to do?" "We can't run from Dahlia and hide from Klaus at the same time." "You want to protect us?" "Buy us some time." "Cami:" "Tell me you didn't do it." "Tell me you didn't kill that sweet boy." " Camille..." " They said you admitted it." "Then why even come here?" "To see for yourself," "Morbid curiosity," "A new piece of the puzzle in your long-standing analysis of the immortal bastard?" "If I tell you who I am, and you refuse to believe me," "Then I can hardly be blamed for your disappointment." "I wish I did believe you," "And you know what?" "Maybe you were right," "Maybe about everything, even Freya." "Maybe she's not what she seems." "Maybe she is out to get you and twisting everyone against you," "And maybe she is this terrible person," "But you know what she didn't do, Klaus?" "She didn't just kill Aiden." "She didn't just murder an innocent guy." "And neither did I!" "What?" "Why did you tell them that you did?" "If I have spilled crescent blood," "Then Hayley will be forced to question her pack's loyalty to Hope," "And she will not run." "But if they don't protect her, then who..." "Only I can save her," "And I need them to fear me!" "Am I supposed to fear you, too?" "It would be better for you if you did," "For you to believe I am the monster they would paint me as." "And then one day when all of this was past," "I might find you and profess my innocence," "And because you are you, you would believe me," "And we would pass a perfect afternoon in a corner cafe together." "And I would wish for nothing more." "A better man would protect you with that lie," "But I am not that man..." "And so I leave you with the burden of a truth that no one will believe." "[footsteps]" "You put them in the paint..." "Father's ashes," "The earth from sacred ground," "All hidden in plain sight." "What are you doing here?" "You're supposed to be guarding Hayley." "She's gone." "She and Jackson took Hope," "And you will not find them, brother." "You helped Hayley escape with my daughter." "Well, someone had to protect that child." "How dare you!" "Err!" "I'm a hybrid, Elijah." "Why provoke a fight you cannot win?" "Unh!" "For Hope." "[footsteps]" "[church bells playing Dahlia's melody]" "[melody continues]"
