Batting Cage In Denver
[Elena and Damon are at a batting cage looking for Jeremy. Elena spots him.]
Elena: There he is. [Jeremy swings at the ball and misses.]
Damon: Next time we compel him, remind me to make him better at baseball. [Elena walks over to the cage.]
Elena: Hey, Jer!
Jeremy: Elena? What's wrong? [Damon, Elena, and Jeremy are walking out of the batting cages. Damon explains what has happened over the past few months.]
Damon: Katherine sired us, Rose sired Katherine, all we need to do is find out who sired Rose.
Jeremy: So, you traveled across the country to get me to talk to a dead vampire?
Damon: Dead vampire is redundant, but yes.
Jeremy: Well, I can't. I could talk to Anna and Vicki because I knew them. I've never even met Rose.
Damon: What good is you dying and coming back to life if you can't talk to a ghost when I need you to?
Elena: Rose spent a long time running from Klaus as well. She and Damon were close, so maybe we can use him as a connection.
Jeremy: Fine, fine, but can we do this later? One of my friends just got here and yes, Damon, I actually have some. I'll call you when I'm done. [Jeremy walks away. Elena turns around and sees Kol.]
"I though Kol was in Mystic falls, when did he got friends with Kol?" Said Davina.
"He got there few hours before Damon and Elena. Layla pretended to be Jeremy's friend and than introduced Kol as her brother, so Jeremy thinks Kol is his friend." Said Bella. Davina nodded.
Elena: Jer...
Jeremy: Hey man.
Elena: Damon, it's Kol! [Kol hits Damon with a wooden baseball bat. The bat breaks in half and Damon falls to the ground.]
Jeremy: What are you doing?!
Elena: Jeremy, get back! He's an Original.
Jeremy: What?
Kol: No hard feelings, mate. But we're not buds. [Kol grabs an aluminum bat from the bat rack.]
Kol: You know, I'll never get use to aluminum. But hey, at least it won't break. [Kol swings to hit Damon with the bat, but Damon grabs it and with his other hand picks up half of the broken wooden bat and stabs Kol through the chest with it. Kol falls to the ground.]
"Oh come on! That easily? You are Original. How did baby vamp defeated you on one on one." Said Bella. Kol looked away.
Jeremy: Did you kill him?
Damon: No, but it'll give us a head start. Okay, come on. [Damon grabs Elena, who is shocked, and they leave the batting cages.]
"Why is Layla not there?" Said Hayley.
"She is busy person. She is in charge of big organisation. It's surprising that she even did this job herself and not ordered someon else." Said Bella.
"I did it, because you asked me." Said Layla.
Salvatore Boarding House
[Stefan and Alaric are sitting together in the cellar.]
Alaric: I assume they've got Jeremy by now?
Stefan: They should. Haven't heard from them. Elena's worried about him, knowing that she can't count on his ring anymore.
Alaric: Who knows? Maybe his alter ego is a pot smoking, hippie pacifist.
Stefan: Yeah, maybe.
Alaric: I can't say, I thought mine would be so hostile and militant.
Stefan: That actually makes perfect sense. Your wife left you to become a vampire and your girlfriend was killed by one.
Alaric: You must really hate me. Here I am, the failed hunter slash drinking buddy of vampires.
Stefan: Ah, he's too judgmental.
Alaric: The thing is, he's me. I'm not compelled, I'm not possessed, there's no humanity switch. What drives him is me.
Stefan: No. No, he's not you. He's the darkest parts of you. The parts we all have.
"And? Darkest part of you is still you." Said Bella.
[Klaus enters the cell.]
Klaus: Well, this is depressing, isn't it?[Stefan stands up.]
Klaus: Oh, and I found this [Klaus shows them the stake.] upstairs. Now, by my count, there should be one more.
Stefan: Yeah, well it's gonna take a little more time.
Klaus: Why? Because we're waiting for that one to pass out? [He points to Alaric.] No thanks. I think I'll just kill him.
Stefan: Well, then you won't know the location of the other stake.
Klaus: I can live with that.
Stefan: Well, I can't. When we staked Finn, we discovered that killing an Original vampire killed its entire bloodline. Now, I don't know which one of you I'm descended from, but I'd really rather not find out by dying, so why don't we just find the stake, destroy it, so we can all be safe?
Klaus: So, the fate of the entire vampire race depends on you finding a stake? And to get it we need you to pass out. Which means that I feel totally justified doing this. [Klaus rushes towards Alaric and breaks his neck. Alaric dies.]
Klaus: There. Sleeping like a baby.
"I don't think that's how babies sleep." chukled Bella.
Klaus' Mansion
Bella: How are you dying? I thought Ayana preserved your body with a spell.
Esther: She did. I'm drawing my power from the Bennett witch line. When Abby died the connection was severed. So my body has weakened.
Bella: Well, if you've come to spend your last moments with your loving daughter, prepare to be disappointed. I hate you just as much as i hate Mikael. You're lying whore, who can't keep her legs shut. My siblings couldn't see your true face, but i always could. You are just as bad as Mikael, if not worse. I mean he at least didn't pretend to love us.
Mikaelsons looked down.
Esther: I wasn't pretending. I love you.
Bella: And yet ylu made me feel like an abomination because i am a siphoner.
Esther: What you have... your abilities are unnutural, Bellatrix. I tried to make you realise it, but you--
Klaus holds Bella's hand. Bella sents him a little smile.
Bella: Fine. There is no love lost between us. I get it, but what about my sibilings? You say you love them and then try to kill them.
Esther: Despite what you believe i love you, Bellatrix. I love all of you. But it shouldn't have been a thousand years. No one should live that long. I watched over all of you. I saw the pain you coused....
Bella: Oh, fuck you! You don't get to judge me. You can't handle half of what i have dealt with. There is a reason i do things i do, there's a reason i am who i am. And you are one of those reasons. You are the villain in this story, Esther, not me, not Nik, not Elijah, not Kol, not even Finn, It's you! You are the one who caused all of this! You killed innocent in me, in us and i will never forget or forgive you that.
People looked at Bella sadly, she's hugging Klaus and holding Kol's hand and ignoring their looks.
Esther: I'm sorry, Bella. I'm so, so sorry.
[Esther takes Bella's hands and starts to shake. She falls to the ground, dead. Bella kneels down next to her. Klaus enters the room.]
Klaus: What's going on?
Bella: She's dead.
Mary's House
[Damon, Elena, and Jeremy pull up to an old, abandoned-looking house and get out of the car.]
Jeremy: This is the address.
Damon: Looks about right.
Elena: [To Jeremy] Wait here.
Jeremy: Why?! So you guys can make out some more??
"She made out with Damon?" Asked Layla intrigued.
Damon: Don't be a dick. Listen to your sister. [Jeremy scoffs and goes back to the car.]
Damon: Thank you. Come on. [Damon and Elena enter the house. Elena turns on a torch. The room full of books on the floor and other junk.]
Damon: Oof, like Vampire Hoarders.
Elena: Who is this Mary person?
Damon: Scary Mary. She's really old, super creepy.
"And super hot." Said Marcel and Bella. Then looked at each other.
"You too?" Said Bella. Marcel nodded.
Elena: And how do you know her?
Damon: I dated her.
Elena: Of course.
Damon: What? I said creepy, not ugly.
[A loud noise comes from another room. Damon and Elena look at the door where the noise came from. Damon, followed by Elena goes into the room. Elena moves the torch light around the room and the beam lands on a vampire who has been staked to the wall.]
Damon: Mary. [The lights come on in the dark room. Kol is sitting in a chair with a baseball bat.]
"Love the dramatics." Said Bella.
"Thanks." Said Kol.
Kol: Quite contrary. Shame about Mary. She used to be a blast. Don't quite know what happened. I fear all the time she spent with my family might have ruined her. She was a bit of an Original groupie.
Elena: And were you her favorite?
Kol: You mean, did I turn her? I think I did. But no, wait, maybe it was Bella. There was also a Klaus period. And let's not forget the Elijah affair. I know you're trying to find out who you descended from. Now you never will. So, where did we leave off? [Kol hits Damon's leg with the baseball bat. Damon falls to the ground and Kol continues to hit him.]
Damon: Elena, get out of here!
[Elena runs for the door, but Kol rushes over and blocks her way.]
Kol: According to my brother, you're off limits. Please don't test me. [Kol throws Elena to the ground. Damon gets up and rushes towards Kol.]
Damon: Don't touch her. [Kol throws Damon off of him.]
Kol: Oh dear, I've hit a nerve. Heh heh. Relax, darling, I just want us to be even. You snapped my neck, you killed my brother, and then you humiliated me.
[Kol hits Damon with the bat repeatedly.]
Kol: There, now we're even.
"No, you aren't. Little beat up made up for all that?!" Said Bella.
"You are right. I went too easy on him." Said Kol, disappointed in himself.
Salvatore Boarding House
Stefan: Where's the stake?
Alaric: You're worse than I ever was. Spineless, pathetic.
Stefan: Tell me where the stake is before I kill you.
Alaric: You know you're all gonna burn. Ashes to dust. [Stefan hits Alaric repeatedly.]
Stefan: Where's the stake?! [Alaric doesn't answer. Stefan hits him again, then grabs him in a chokehold.]
Stefan: I'm gonna kill you in three... two... one.
Alaric: It's in the cave. Where no vampire can get it. Heh heh! [Stefan throws Alaric onto the ground and leaves the cellar, locking the door behind him. He goes up the stairs while texting on his phone and into the parlor where Klaus and Bella wait for him.]
"Didn't you siphon spell?" Asked Hayley.
"Yeah, but he didn't know that." Said Bella.
Klaus: That wasn't too hard, was it?
