Salvatore Boarding House
[Stefan enters. Klaus and Bella are sitting in a chair, drinking alcohol. Music is blaring. Stefan turns the music down.]
Stefan: What are you doing here?
Klaus: Enjoying our stalemate.
Stefan: What do you want?
Klaus: The question is what you want? [Tired] My hybrids left town as you demanded, so please tell me what I need to do to get my family back.
Everyone looked shocked. Klaus Mikaelson doesn't beg.
"Aww, you love us. You even used please." Teased Kol, but secretaly he was really surprised and touched.
"Everyone thinks he's big bad wolf, but in reality he is big fluffy puppy." Said Bella. Everyone laughed and Klaus glared.
"I'm not a puppy and stop calling me that!" Said Klaus. Bella patted his head.
"Sure you aren't." Said Bella. Klaus broke her hand. Bella gave him aneurism.
"Children. Please." Said Elijah.
Stefan: Well, see... Klaus... I'm not negotiating.
Bella: And you understand, that holding them indefinitely is the same thing as dropping them in the ocean?
Stefan: No, No. You two leave Mystic Falls and then give me call in a few years and we'll talk.
Klaus: I can give you another chance. Just one more. Let's make a reasonable deal.
Stefan: Or what? You make one move and I will drop...
Bella: Nik, i'll kill him! [Klaus patted her hand to calm her down.]
Klaus: [laugh] Yes, right. Crazy Stefan. How is that working out for you? Any friends left? [Bella spells him and Stefan drops down unconscious.]
Klaus: What did you do?
Bella: Nothing much. Just making him see his worst nightmares for 2 hours straight.
"He took my family. What i'm doing to him is mercy." Said Bella.
"How is that mercy?" Asked Davina.
"I'm not kiddnaping him and torturing him till he gives me my family back and then killing him after ripping his brother's heart out in front of him." Said Bella.
Mystic Grill
[Klaus is talking on the phone at the bar with his minion Daniel who is sitting in his parked car.]
Klaus: How's life on the road?
Daniel: Scenic. How's life in Mystic Falls without any hybrids?
Klaus: Boring. For now.
Daniel: If you want any of us back, you just have to say the word.
Klaus: There's no need. I've been making friends with the town civil servants. There's a deputy, obnoxiously chatty, but useful nonetheless. You're clear, what you need to do?
Daniel: I got it covered. [Daniel gets out of the car, goes up to a house and rings the bell. A woman opens the door.]
Abby: Can I help you?
Daniel: Abby Bennett Wilson?
Abby: That's me.
Old Witch House
[Damon enters the room with the coffins. There are candles lit everywhere. The coffins are invisible. Damon stops, then heards footsteps. Klaus and Bella enter.]
Bella: So that's why i couldn't find them. Hundreds of witches are hiding them.
Klaus: What took you so long? Hiding behind your witchy friends. And in squalor, no less. [Suddenly, the candles burn brighter and Klaus and Bella fall to theirs knees, clutching their heads and shouting in pain.]
"I hate ancestors. I'm so glad i'm not connected to them." Said Bella.
"Me, too." Said Layla.
Damon: Insulting a bunch of dead witches... not smart. I made the exact same mistake first time I came in here.
[The pain subsides and Bella speaks in a forced, strained voice.]
Bella: Well, you know, the funny thing about witches is, that living or death, they care about their own. A hundred dead witches have a thousand living descendants... [The pain returns. Klaus and Bella shout out in pain. Klaus then talks in a loud voice, addressing the room.]
Klaus: And we have no problem, killing every last one of them, if I don't get my coffins back. As we speak, my hybrid friend is prepared to end the Bennett line. [The candles die down suddenly, and Klaus and Bella aren't in pain anymore. He again talks to the room.]
Bella: Now... show us the coffins. [Now they can see the coffins.]
Klaus: Here we are. [Looking at Damon.] Where's the fourth? [Shouting at the room.] Show me!
Damon: Well, here's the thing. They can't. It's not here.
Bella: What did you do?
Damon: Well, Bonnie gave me the heads-up. I didn't have enough time, to get all four, but I did have time to get one.
Klaus: I will tear you, limb from limb. And only then, when you're a riving mass of blood and flesh, will I rip your heart from your chest.
Damon: Sorry. The same rules apply. You know, leverage and all. I know you want your family back. But something tells me, you want what's in that coffin a lot more.
Klaus and Bella glared at him.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Stefan enters. Damon's standing in the front of the fireplace.]
Stefan: Oh, you're still alive. I assume, that means Klaus didn't get his coffins.
Damon: Don't look so happy, I was only able to get one of them out in time. The locked one.
Stefan: Probably a good choice.
Damon: Yeah. You know, if you're banking on Bonnie's momma to open it, you're screwed. She doesn't have any powers.
Stefan: Nah, doesn't surprise me. Its been that kind of night.
Damon: Is Elena okay? [Stefan turns around and punches Damon in the face.]
"He so deserved it." Said Hayley.
Damon: I take it you two had a heart-to-heart. And I take it, you don't wanna talk about it. Noted. So why don't we talk about this? [Damon holds up the silver dagger used to kill Elijah.]
Stefan: What did you do?
Original Family House
[Daniel shoves the coffins in a big room. Klaus and Bella standing beside him.]
Bella: We've got our family back. Finally. Let's open now!
Klaus: Not quite yet. We still have some unfinished business to take care of.
Bella: I know, but can't we do it with them awake?
Daniel: What business? [Suddenly, Daniel is squirming and falls to the floor, dead. Elijah is standing behind him with his heart in his hand. Klaus and Bella look shocked.]
Elijah: So, Niklaus, Bellatrix...
Klaus: Elijah!
Elijah: What did I miss?
"Such a badass entrace." Said Bella.
Klaus' Mansion
[Elijah is standing before Klaus and Bella, wiping the blood off his hands with a white handkerchief after killing Daniel.]
Elijah: You look surprised to see me. So it wasn't you that removed the dagger from my chest?
Bella: You look like you could do with a drink.
Klaus: And we have a lot to discuss, so shall we? [Elijah attacks him. Klaus flies through a window.]
Klaus: Easy. I just finished renovating.
[Klaus rushes at Elijah and Elijah crashes into a table, breaking it.]
Klaus: You know you have every right to be mad at me. But I kept my word, I reunited you with our family. [Elijah attacks him again, and Bella stops both of them with magic.]
Bella: Stop fighting like children and start talking!
Klaus: Mikael is dead.
Elijah: What did you say?
Klaus: I killed him. With his own
weapon. He's gone Elijah. Forever.
Elijah: Why do our family remain in these coffins? Finn for over 900 years, Kol for over a century.
Klaus: Because of Stefan Salvatore. He holds the one thing keeping me from freeing them. There are things that you do not know about our past, Elijah. Our mother's death. Things I never wanted you to know but I'm ready to tell you now. I only ask that you remember the oath of loyalty you once swore to me. Always and forever. I need you to stand by my side. Be my brother. Help me destroy Stefan and I promise you our family will be whole again.
Bella: See? Talking works. Now we're all at the same side.
Hayley chuckles.
Woods
[Damon is walking through a meadow. Elijah is standing before him.]
Damon: Elijah. My favorite Original, back from the dead. Clean up nice.
Elijah: You left something in my jacket pocket. [Elijah pulls out a note.]
Damon: Oh, yeah. "Dear Elijah, let's get together, plot the destruction of your brother, XOXO".
Some people chuckle. Kol looks confused.
"What does XOXO means?" Asked Kol.
"Kiss." said amused Bella.
Elijah: Damon.
Damon: Was I right to undagger you or are we gonna have a problem?
Elijah: I'm here, let's talk.
Damon: I'll start with an easy question. Any idea what kind of Klaus-killing weapon could be magically sealed in a mystery coffin?
