ELENA'S TORTURE ROOM
[Elena is healed. Bella compells her.]
Bella: Which Salvatore are you in love with?
Elena: Damon. [Bella smirks.]
Bella: Ha! Nik owns me 100$.
"You haven't given me my money." said Bella to Klaus. He rolled his eyes.
Elena: Fuck you.
Bella: No, thanks.
Kol laughs.
Bella: Anyway, now you can be compelled. [Compells Elena.] Never turn off your humanity.
"What are you gonna do?" Said amused Kol. Bella smirked.
Bella: [compels] where is Nik?
Elena: In my house. Bonnie trapped him.
Bella: [compells] Don't talk until i give you permission. [Bella calls Layla.]
Bella: Is Bonnie dead?
Layla: I'm burning her body right now.
Bella: Okay, thanks. Nik was trapped in Gilberts' house and he should be out now. Go talk to him.
Layla: Okay. [Layla hungs up.]
Augustine Cells 1953
[Enzo is standing up, his arms through the bars. Damon is huddled on the floor of his cell, deeply in pain after all the torture.]
Enzo: You much of a sports fan, Damon?
Enzo: No. Neither am I. Any other interests-- fine wines, travels, cars?[looks at Damon, who still too pained to answer] I'm partial to Jaguars myself, convertibles, the kind you take on a Sunday drive to impress a pretty girl. Ever done that?
Damon: [pauses, then wills himself to speak] Once or twice.
Enzo: Oh, come now. Got to be more than that.
Damon: Well, the girl I was trying to impress was more of [stops, in pain] a horse and carriage type girl.
Enzo: What, just one girl?
Damon: Never met another one like her.
"And than he said he didn't love Elena because of Kathrine." Said Bella.
Enzo: Well, fair enough.
Damon: [moves over on his back, grunting in pain] What about you? Any pretty girls?
Enzo: Eh, too many to count. [Pauses, looking more serious] Actually, there was one. Her name was Maggie. [smiles.]
Bella glared at Damon. Kol noticed.
"What?" asked Kol.
"Damon killed Maggie. He probably didn't know it was Enzo's Maggie, but still." Said Bella.
"That's what you meant in betrayal?" Asked Hayley.
"No, Damon has done something much worse than that." Said Layla. Bella nodded.
Damon: Where'd you meet her?
Enzo: Here of all places. She was working for Dr. Whitmore.
Damon: Charming?
Enzo: Oh, she was. Very. [looks away, smiling] She was kind to me. She used to sit here in the hallway taking notes while she observed me.
"Talk about Stocholm Syndrome." Said Bella.
Damon: [in surprise] That's how you fell for her?
Enzo: Oh, she was also stunningly beautiful.
Damon: Ah.
Enzo: You have to understand she-- she wasn't part of the torture and the experiments. For the longest while, she didn't realize that Dr. Whitmore was doing more than just observing my behavior. I didn't have the heart to tell her. I was just so glad of her company, you know?
Layla looks jaelous.
Damon: [sympathetically] Yeah.
Enzo: When she finally realized what was going on here, she couldn't bear it. So she said she was sorry, and she left.
Damon: Well, you know, [turns over on his stomach to look at him] never really would have worked anyway. You're a vampire, she's a human. The relationship would have been doomed from the beginning.
Bella nodded in agreement.
Enzo: You need a more positive outlook, mate. [Damon smiles at him, only for him to rise to his feet immediately after hearing a door open. It's Dr. Whitmore walking in front of their cells and holding his keys. He stops and looks at the two of them.]
Dr. Whitmore: Who's next? [Damon and Enzo look at him tensely, saying nothing as Dr. Whitmore does another sweeping glance.]
Dr. Whitmore: (looks to Damon) 21051, you seem to have more energy. [Walks over in front of his cell, preparing to unlock it.]
Enzo: I take that as an insult! [Grabs the bars, rattling it angrily for a moment] I have far more energy than my neighbor here. [Dr. Whitmore pauses, then walks over to Enzo's cell.]
Enzo: I can't believe you didn't notice.
"He's a good man." Said Hayley.
"That he is." Said Layla.
Dr. Whitmore: Your turn then. [Dr. Whitmore unlocks the cell, grabbed Enzo firmly, and carried him out of the cell to be experimented on.]
Everyone looked at Enzo sadly.
[Damon looks on in shock before hitting the bars once in anger and pacing in his cell. He hears Enzo's screams of pain, prompting him to pace some more until he sits down in his cell and holds the bars. Finally the lights are turned off in the cells. Some time later, Dr. Whitmore returns using a flashlight for light and roughly throws Enzo in his cell without a word or another glance. He starts walking out of the cell area.]
Damon: Why are you doing this to us?!
Dr. Whitmore: (stops and looks at Damon) Because, 21051, I'm seeking out the smallest indivisible unit of your biological makeup, and once I can understand you from a cellular level, I can put you to use. [Dr. Whitmore walks away, leaving an angry and frustrated Damon looking on in his cell.]
Wickery Bridge (Past)
[Bella goes into Elena's head. Stefan looks into the driver's window at Grayson. Grayson shakes his head and points back to Elena. Stefan swims to the back window, looks inside and sees Elena.]
Bella: Your parents died, because of you. If you didn't go to that party, they wouldn't have to pick you up and they wouldn't fall off from the bridge. At least your father could survive, but because of you he died. Stefan saved you instead of him and now he is dead, like everyone you care about. You bring nothing more than death. [Elena is crying.]
"I kind of feel bad for her." Said Davina.
"I don't." Said Bella.
Augustine Party 1957
Enzo: [holds up a small glass of blood] Well, the thing about our daily ration of blood is that it's barely enough for one vampire to survive on, but if one vampire were to drink two rations every day for the next year, he'd be able to build up his strength so that by the time New Year's Eve comes round again that one vampire will be ready to fight.
Damon: Are you sure that will work?
Enzo: I'm sure I can only try with your help. We've just got to choose between us. [The two look at each for a minute, then Damon nods his head and sets down his glass of blood.]
Enzo: All right, Damon. We're gonna play scissor, paper, stone to decide. [The two of them play three rounds until Damon draws paper and Enzo draws rock.]
Damon: Paper covers rock.
Mikaelsons realised what Damon did.
Enzo: [resignedly] All right then. A win's a win. You'll lead the way. [holds up his glass of blood to Damon] Here's my ration. Now we've got 364 days to get you ready for the party. Cheers.[passes the glass to Damon between the bars of their cell.]
Damon: [takes the blood] Cheers. [Pauses, then drinks the blood down.]
Quarry
[Bella goes into Elena's head again. Klaus and Stefan have come down from the cliff top and approach Elena and Jenna.]
Klaus: Quite the predicament. You know, it's funny, all this talk about preserving family, and here's Stefan, granting your wish.
Elena: [sadly] Stefan...
Stefan: It's okay.
Klaus: Well. [He points a stake between Jenna and Stefan] Who's it going to be, Elena?
Elena: No.
Klaus: Oh, don't worry. There's actually no choice. [Klaus vamp speeds around Stefan and stakes him in the back. Stefan screams in pain and crumbles to the ground.]
Elena: No! Stefan! No! [Klaus rips the stake out of Stefan's back, leaving a sizable chunk of wood in his back.]
Bella: You were really thinking of choosing boy you met year ago, instead of your family? Your aunt? And than you call us monsters. At least me and Nik would never choose anyone over our family.
"You are good at this." Said Kol.
"I have always been good with words." Said Bella.
[Greta begins chanting the next part of the spell which dispels the ring of fire surrounding Jenna. Jenna looks on, frightened. Elena, teary-eyed, watches on.]
Elena: No.
Klaus: Your turn.
Elena: No, Jenna, no! [Elena attempts to get to Jenna, but the fire around her flares up. Jenna looks over at her.]
Jenna: It's alright, Elena. I know what I have to do. [After a moment of shared silence between Jenna and Elena, Jenna vamp speeds to Greta and ferociously bites her neck. Greta screams. Klaus vamp speeds over to Jenna and stakes her in the back, pulling her off of Greta, who has fallen to the floor. Jenna gasps and Klaus releases her. Jenna falls to the ground. Elena starts to cry.]
Elena: Jenna, no! [Jenna looks up at Elena, tears in her eyes.]
Elena: Just turn it off. Jenna. Turn it off. You won't be scared anymore. [Klaus flips Jenna over onto her back and he hunches over her. Jenna seems less frightened when he stakes her in the heart.]
Elena: No! Jenna! No! Jenna! [Elena cries in earnest now. Jenna's body starts to become grey and decayed. Klaus releases the stake from his grap and stands up. Jenna lays lifeless on the stone with the stake through her heart.]
Bella: Jenna died because of you,too. We wouldn't kill her if you just gave yourself over, but you and your guard dogs couldn't help yourselves. Even your biological parents died because of you and they left you. [Elena is cring.]
"You are going all out, aren't you?" Said Layla.
