The Originals.

Three hundred years ago,
we helped build New Orleans.

Now we have returned
to find (he city has a new king'

one who rules with the aid
of a powerful girl.

They have taken possession
of my brother Elijah.

A coven of witches
want this girl for themselves.

The seek to enlist my help,

using my unborn child
as leverage,

though I suspect they have
ulterior motives.

So, I've made a plan
of my own.


(CRACK)

I will free my brother and
reclaim the city for our family.

Then I will be king.

KLAUS:
Over the course of my life,

We encountered no shortage
of those who would presume

to speak of good and evil.

Such terms mean nothing.

People do what is
in their best interest,

regardless of who gets hurt.

Is it evil to take
what one wants,

to satisfy hunger
even if doing so

will cause another's suffering?

What some would call evil

I believe to be
an appropriate response


to a harsh and unfair world.

No offense,
but I'm not sure I follow

why you've
invited me here.

Because I enjoy your company,

and I sense you have
the capacity

for understanding
someone of my complexity.

You see, I returned
to New Orleans

to investigate a threat
posed against me.

What I found was
a young woman,

pregnant,
in need of protection.

My brother,
always the do-gooder,

tried to manipulate me
into helping her.

He thought it might redeem me.

Trouble is,
I've since learned

of another young women,
a girl really,

one with vast potential,

held in captivity by a tyrant.

I want to help both of these women.

Protect one and free the other.

So tell me, Cami.

Does that sound evil to you?

I don't believe in
evil as a diagnosis.

I think you have unstable
personal relationships,

stress-related paranoia,
