Old Witch House
[Bonnie enters the house. She hears voices whispering. She goes down into the basement. When she enters, she sees that there are no coffins there like there were in her dream.]
Stefan: Hello Bonnie. [She turns around.]
Bonnie: Stefan. You followed me here?
Stefan: Yeah. Wasn't too hard. You should probably be more careful.
Bonnie: What do you want with me?
Stefan: Relax. I just need your help.
Bonnie: Why would I help you? Elena said you saved Klaus' life.
Stefan: Let me fill you in on a little secret about Klaus. He kept his family with him at all times... daggered. Stored in coffins. And now I have them, and I need you to help keep them hidden.
Bonnie: Are you out of your mind? You're just gonna make him angrier.
Stefan: His family is his one weakness. As long as I have that, I can ruin him.
"Remind me why didn't we kill him back than?" Asked Bella. Klaus shrugged.
Bonnie: I don't have enough power to hide four Originals!
Stefan: You're a witch. You hate Klaus. I know you can figure something out.
Mikaelsons glare at Stefan.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Damon pours himself a drink, he turns around and sees Klaus and Bella standing in the doorway.]
Klaus: I think it's about time we had a drink, don't you?
Damon: I'd say we're overdue.
Bella: Well, you've been so busy with all your plotting and scheming.
Damon: You know me. Never miss a chance to plan an epic failure.
"Your mother planned a failure when she decided to have you." Said Layla. Everyone chuckled.
Bella: You win some. You lose some. Except me. I always win.
"Cocky much?" Said Hayley.
"No, just self-aware." Said Bella. Others chuckled.
Damon: Drink? [Damon pours Klaus, Bella and himself a drink and hands Klaus one of the glasses. Bella rolls her eyes and gets her glass.]
Klaus: Cheers mate!
Damon: Down the hatch. [They take a drink]
Klaus: You know, we've actually got a lot in common, you and I.
Damon: Really? Well, yeah. Maybe we can bond over our mutual loathing of my brother. Why are you so mad at him? He stole something?
Klaus: My family, the Originals. I had them daggered, boxed-up awaiting the day when I saw fit to wake them. And he went in and pinched the bloody lot.
Mikaelsons glare.
Damon: Of course he did. Such a buzzkill, my baby bro. Well, I'd love to find him. Just the trouble is, I sure as hell don't work for you.
Klaus: You know, your drink stinks of vervain- so I can't compel you. There'd be no point in killing you because you're actually the one with the most hope of getting me what I need.
Bella: I would compel you, but we already now you'll find way around it, so it would seem a demonstration is in order. Perhaps We weren't clear enough when we told you to find Stefan. Well, it seems you people respond best to displays of violence.
Klaus: Why don't you take this as an example of our reach? [Klaus takes out his phone and calls someone.]
Klaus: There he is! So, that thing I told you to do...why don't you go ahead and get on with it?
Gilbert Residence
[Jeremy hangs up his phone.]
Elena: What was that about?
Jeremy: It was nothing.
Tyler: I got to go. Umm, thanks for the food offer, but...
Alaric: Next time. [Tyler leaves.]
Alaric: That was illuminating.
Elena: So, Tyler Lockwood is a lunatic who has access to our house.
Alaric: I mean this whole sire bond thing is... wild. I don't even think Tyler is fully aware of what little reason lies behind what he's saying. It's this weird cult logic.
Elena: Well, great, that's a wonderful influence for you Jer... [She turns around but Jeremy is gone.]
Elena: Jeremy? [Jeremy's protection ring is lying in the middle of his plate on the table.]
Alaric: That's his ring. [Elena picks it up.]
Elena: Where did he go? [They go outside, Jeremy is standing in the middle of the street.]
Elena: Jeremy? What is he doing?? [Suddenly, a car comes whipping around the corner and speeds towards Jeremy. Alaric and Elena run to him.]
Elena: Oh my god! Jeremy!!
Alaric: Jeremy!!
Elena: Jeremy move!!!! [Alaric pushes Jeremy out of the way at the last second and is hit by the car instead. Elena runs over to Alaric's body and turns him over. The car pulls up next to them. Tony, the hybrid, is in the car.]
Tony: There I go again. Bumping into people... [He drives away. Elena checks Alaric's hand to make sure his ring was on. Jeremy gets up and runs over to them.]
Elena: He's gonna be alright. Are you all right?
Jeremy: I don't understand.
Elena: Who was that on the phone earlier?
Jeremy: It was Klaus!
Elena: You were compelled, Jeremy! We've gotta get him inside- help me!!
"They don't get it when we talk to them nicely. They're making us use violance." Said Bella.
Klaus' Mansion
[Klaus, Bella and Mindy are walking through the rooms of a large mansion; workers are everywhere.]
Bella: Compel the men to open up this wall. We need sun. I want a fortress not a dungeon. [Tyler appears.]
Klaus: Here he is: man of the hour!
Tyler: So everything went okay?
Klaus: Tony ran down Alaric instead of Jeremy, but apples, oranges, message lands the same.
Tyler: You said you are sending them a warning.
Bella: And he did. An effective one! Elena's family suffers, she is motivated to get us what we want.
Tyler: I didn't think that we actually have to kill anyone.
Bella: Stefan was the one who took our family. From now on what happens is their own fault.
"If you didn't turn off his humanity, he wouldn't do it." Said Marcel.
"If he didn't break a deal, Nik wouldn't turn off his humanity." Said Bella.
"And stay Klaus's slave?" Said Marcel.
"Terms were clear from the start. Nik saves Damon, Stefan does everything Nik asks for a decade. If he doesn't wanted it, than he shouldn't have agreed. " Said Bella.
"He was trying to save his brother." Said Marcel.
"Yes, and Nik saved him, didn't he? Nik did his part of deal, Stefan didn't." Said Bella.
Klaus: Tyler, mate. What you are feeling is the remnant of a guilty conscience. I need you to get over it, okay? End of the day human life is just a means to an end. Our means to our end. [Tyler leaves.]
Klaus: Did you find coffins?
Bella: I couldn't. They're hidden by very powerful magic. I tried everything. IT DOES NOT FUCKING WORK! [Screamed Bella and throw the map.]
"I'm sorry." said Bella. Kol and Elijah smile at her.
"It's okay. You did your best and we are okay." Said Elijah.
[Klaus placed his hand on Bella's arm.]
Klaus: They're immortals. They're gonna be okay and we'll get them back.
Bella: (sights) I hope so.
Gilbert Residence
[Elena walks out onto the front porch. Damon follows her.]
Elena: I feel like a horrible person.
Damon: You just saved his life, Elena. Take it from me, strange is bad, dead is worse.
Elena: I just can't stop thinking about what happened the last time I asked you to compel him.
Damon: He found out. And he got over it. Again: not dead, Elena! He's so lucky to have you for his sister.
Elena: Thank you.
Damon: No problem.
Elena: Not just for this, Damon. For everything... I don't know what I would do if you weren't here.
"There she goes again." Said Bella.
[Damon considers her for a moment.]
Damon: You should know this, Elena. Stefan didn't screw us over. He screwed us over but he had a good reason.
Elena: What?
Damon: He saved Klaus to save me. Then he stole the coffins to get even.
Elena: What? Damon, if he did it to protect you then... Why would he even do that? What is it even mean?
Damon: What's it even mean?... Means I'm an idiot. 'Cause I thought for one second that I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore.
Elena: What? What are you talking about? Guilty for what?
Damon: For wanting what I want.
Elena: Damon...
Damon: I know. Believe me, I get it... Brother's girl and all. [He starts to leave then stops halfway down the stairs.]
Damon: No!! No, you know what? If I'm gonna feel guilty about something, I'm gonna feel guilty about this. [He kisses her.]
Damon: Good night. [He walks away.]
"Elena kissed back." noticed Bella.
Klaus' Mansion
Klaus: I'm surprised you're still in town. I gave you your freedom, you could have gone anywhere. [Stefan is leaning against a doorframe.]
Stefan: I live here, Klaus.
Klaus&Bella: Well, if we're playing this game, then... We were here first.
"Children" muttered Elijah.
Stefan: You know, I don't like your hybrid friends. They're everywhere,
kind of like fleas. I want them gone.
Klaus: Yeah, well I kind of like having them around. You know, I'm hurt. I hoped that when I freed you, we'd pick up where we left off. But here you are, guzzling vervain like the rest of them, I'm sure. So much for friendship.
Stefan: Friends don't strip friends of their free will.
Klaus: Okay, granted, yeah, that was a little extreme, but I get a little moody. Just ask my siblings.
His brothers glared at him.
Bella: He does. His mood swings are worse than preganant woman's.
Everyone laughed. Ofscreen and onscreen Klaus glared.
Klaus: Speaking of siblings, isn't it time you handed them over?
Stefan: Klaus, get your hybrids out of Mystic Falls or I will remove them myself.
Klaus: Hmm. You see, if you continue to threaten me, I'm gonna be forced to retaliate. Kill people. And it will get messy again.
Stefan: Do whatever you want, I don't really care. Or you know what? Maybe I do. Maybe I care so much, that I'll drop Elijah in the Arctic.
"Why didn't you just kill Stefan? He is clearly not gonna give you coffins, at least, you could get ride of one problem. And then continue searching for coffins." Said Layla.
Klaus: Well, maybe we'll be willing to lose one brother if it meant killing yours.
Stefan: Try me, let's find out. [Mindy walks in.]
Mindy: Is everything okay?
Klaus: Everything is fine, Mindy. Stefan was just leaving after failing to make his point. [Stefan waits a moment, grabs a saw from the work table he's next to, rushes over to Mindy and cuts her head clean off with it.]
Stefan: Well, one down. You may want to, ah, send the rest of them away before it gets messy, again. [He throws the saw back on the table and leaves.]
