THE ABATTOIR
Vincent: The Hollow has been haunting New Orleans for centuries. It's an unending evil. Its appetite for power is insatiable. And that's what attracted it's to Hope.
"We know that. Get to the important part!" Said Kol.
Klaus: You said there was a way to save her.
Vincent: There is. But I'm gonna tell you right now, you are not gonna like my plan. [Bella, Klaus, Freya, Elijah look at each other worried by Vincent's words.]
"It's something terrible, isn't it?" Sighted Freya.
Vincent: Step one: we pull the Hollow out of Hope. Step two: we find someplace else to put it. But with the book gone, I need a place that's both powerful and eternal. And in order to make the transition work, I'm gonna need something that's connected to Hope through blood.
"Vampire." Said Hayley.
Freya: You need a vampire. You want to put the Hollow into one of my siblings?
Vincent: One ain't gonna cut it. I'm gonna need four of them. [Freya slightly shakes her head in disbelief.]
"Four? It's impossible. We have only three Original Vampires. Kol's ashes are long gone." Said Bella.
"What happened to my ashes?" Asked Kol.
"Resurecting plan gone bad." Said Bella.
"If we didn't have protection she would blow up whole city!" Said Layla while pointing at Bella.
"Then how were you gonna put me back in Original body if i didn't want to stay witch?" Asked Kol.
"I would come up with that later. You know, after i would save your dying ass. (Her tone Softens) But if you are interested, i'm sure, there must be another way." Said Bella. Kol looked at Davina and shook his head.
"No. I think i wll get used to being mortal." Said Kol.
"Kol, if you want to..." started Davina.
"No. I don't want to live forever without you and our daughter. And i always loved being a witch." Said Kol. Davina smiled at him.
"I love you." Said Davina.
"I love you, too." Smiled Kol.
"Quit it!" Said Marcel, glaring at both of them. Others laughed.
Elijah: Why four?
Vincent: Well, 1,500 years ago, when the Hollow was first killed, they divided her remains. Four bones, four volunteers, four different locations. That's how we're going to beat the Hollow now.
Suddenly, Mood drops.
Elijah: Transfer the Hollow's power into four immortal vampires.
Freya: And just send us on our way.
Klaus: So the evil is drawn, quartered and separated for all time.
Vincent: And you have to go your separate ways, and you have to stay separate. For all time. [Klaus, Bella and Elijah look at each other.]
Vincent: You can never see each other again. Can never go near each other again. [Bella is shocked. Bella, Freya, Klaus, Elijah look at each other.]
Everyone looks shocked.
Vincent: That is the only way that we're gonna beat the Hollow.
Klaus: Well, if it'll save my little girl, then we will make it so. But we don't have fourth vampire.
Vincent: Hayley could be the fourth.
"Absolutly not!" Said Hayley.
Freya: But then Hope would have to be with either her father or mother.
"I don't like this plan." said Freya.
"It gets worse." Said Bella.
"What do you mean?" Asked Klaus. Bella didn't answer.
Bella: But she wouldn't be with either of them. The Hollow has felt Hope's power. And it's gonna want to get that power back. When we finish this ritual, the Hollow is gonna live inside of us. Through us, it's gonna reach out, and it's gonna try to regain access to Hope. Any time we are anywhere near her, she is not gonna be safe. Ever.
"No. My daughter won't be left parentless! No!" Said Hayley.
"There has to be another way!" Said Klaus.
[Vincent winced. Clearly not wanted them to know that information.]
Freya: But you knew it! You knew it and didn't tell us! You were gonna leave my niece without her parents?! [Freya kept hitting Vincent in chest. Vincent holds her hands.]
Everyone glares at Vincent.
Vincent: Now, you and I both know that none of you are gonna be okay with that. Even i'm not okay with this. You think i want to make little girl orphan? But if Hollow isn't defeated she will keep being in Hope's body and at some point, she will become fully activated, unstoppable Trybrid and destroy everyone and everything. And we will never get Hope back. [Everyone looks overwhelmed with information.]
Offscreen people are the same.
ST. ANEE'S CHURCH
[The Hollow (in Hope's body) is standing in St. Anne's Church with her followers. Dominic's dead body is on a table. The Hollow uses her witch power to bring him back to life. When Dominic opens his eyes, the rest of the Hollow's followers backs away and murmurs surprised.]
"That's it? Just flicker of her hand and she brings back dead?" Said Stunned Kol.
[Dominic, grateful, looks at the Hollow, then approaches her, bowing slightly, and goes to her right side. Facing the other people in the church, he starts talking.]
Dominic: All of you, know that this is the power of the Hollow. The power to transcend death, and destroy all who stand against us. [Dominic and all the other followers bow to the Hollow.]
THE ABATTOIR
[Elijah is cutting his hand to fill a glass with his blood while Bella is watching him and Freya is sitting on a chair thinking.]
Freya: There has to be another way.
Elijah: And what if there isn't another way?
"There is one way." Said Freya.
"What way?" Asked Hayley.
"If i turn." Said Freya.
"No." Said Everyone.
"You are not gonna lose magic because of us." Said Bella to Freya and her eyes flickered to Kol for second.
Bella: I can't believe this is happening.
Elijah: Hope. Hope is all that matters.
Bella: But will she be okay without her parents? I'm sure Freya, Kol, Layla, Davina and everyone else will take good care of her, but still...
Freya: [gets up] This is not happening. I will not let this family be split apart. I'm going to the bell tower and I'm going to go through more of mother's grimoires.
[Freya starts leaving the room.]
Elijah: Freya. [But Freya doesn't even look at him and leaves.]
Bella: Elijah, you know how it feels to be apart. At first, the freedom is exhilarating, and then, one day, inevitably, you wake up with that pit in your stomach, that dull, aching feeling of missing the only people who know you. The people you love more than anything.
Elijah: Until that very ache threatens to consume you entirely.
Bella, Elijah and Klaus look at each other.
Bella: For a thousand years, we have been honoring a vow to stand together. Being forced to separate feels like torture. How is Nik gonna deal with being forced to be away from his daughter? From his siblings? From his whole family? What is he gonna do when his worst fear comes true and he will be left alone?
Everyone looks at Klaus worried. Klaus clenches his jaw and looks like he wants to murder someone.
"Eyes on screen!" Yelled Bella to others. They looked away. Bella placed her hand on Klaus's arm.
"This time it won't happen." Said Bella.
[Elijah looks thoughtful and worried. He drinks alcohol and sits down to think.]
ROUSSEAU'S
Layla: [showing his cell phone with a picture of Hope on it, to some witches] I just texted all of you her photo. Now, Marcel literally said "scour the city". That means everyone is searching everywhere. Witches, check the Cauldron. Vampires, search the Quarter. [Dominic enters the bar with two other followers of the Hollow. People murmurs.]
Dominic: [smiling] Hello, Layla.
"How does he know you?" Asked Mracel.
"I have met him once or twice." Said Layla.
Layla: [in shocked] No way.
Dominic: Goodbye, Layla. [Before Dominic can do anything Layla snaps his neck with flicker of her hand.]
"Good! Do it with others, too." Said Marcel.
[Other witches atteck her and knock her into a walk, leaving her unconcous. Enzo and the other vampires try to kill them, but they cast apain infliction spell until they too fall to the ground, unconscious.]
"Oh, come on. That was way too easy." Said Kol.
[Then Hollow's follower turns to the witches in the bar.]
Follower: Now, why would noble witches stoop to associate with these... parasites? Now, if you wish to embrace true power, and rid your city of vermin, declare your allegiance to the Hollow.
[The witches look at each other, not knowing what to do.]
THE CAULDRON
[The Hollow (in Hope's body) is walking alone. Dominic appears with some of the Hollow's followers and starts talking to the witches around him. The Hollow approaches him.]
"He is still back?!" Said annoyed Layla.
"He had protection spell." Said Emma.
Dominic: Witches of New Orleans. I ask you to join your one and true savior. Pledge your loyalty, and she will free you from oppression. [People start to escape from the Hollow and his followers.]
Woman: Let's get out of here!
Man: Watch that girl. She kills witches.
[At first, the Hollow and Dominic are surprised by the people's reaction;]
"Really? Surprise? She kills people for being bored, who would want to go on her side?!" Said Layla.
[Then, the Hollow gets angry and starts using magic to destroy street lamps, while Dominic watches her proudly.]
Hayley: [running towards Hope] Hope! Hope! [The Hollow stops and faces her.]
Hayley: [panting] Baby, I know you can hear me. I need you to fight her.
"Are you crazy? She will kill you. Get out of there!" Said Bella.
The Hollow/Hope: Hmm, You think you can stop me?
Hayley: I'm not gonna let you take her.[The Hollow lifts Hayley up with her telekinesis and breaks her neck. Hayley collapses on the ground. The Hollow looks at her for a moment, then she turns around towards her followers. Dominic smiles.]
THE ABATTOIR(VINCENT AND FREYA'S ROOM)
[Hayley wakes up on sofa, still in pain from the recent necks break.]
Vincent: You're okay. You're all right. Some witches, um, they found you on the street, they called me and I brought you here. You're fine.
Hayley: I have to go back. I have to get that thing out of Hope.
"Alone? Even all of the originals can't do it." Said Davina.
Vincent: That's what we are trying to do, Hayley. I'm shoring up my power for the ritual. [Hayley slowly raises her head looking at Vincent.]
Hayley: What ritual?
Vincent: The ritual that we need to talk about.
ROUSSEAU'S
[Marcel and Aria enter the bar. There are corpses everywhere.]
Aria: [looking at the dead bodies] We should go before whoever did this decides to come back. [Marcel hears someone coughing, he follows the sound and finds Layla still alive.]
Marcel: [helping Layla get up] Easy. Easy. Hey. You got hit pretty hard. Tell me what happened.
Layla: Well, Creepy resurrected witch and his pet-witches attacked me.
"Where is Enzo?" Asked worried Layla.
Aria: What creepy resurrected witch?
Layla: Oh, that would be your old buddy, Dominic. [Aria rolls her eyes and looks at Marcel.]
Marcel: Wait, how the hell is he alive?
Layla: Where is Enzo?
Aria: Does anything surprise you at this point? I mean, look around. We're standing in the middle of a war zone. The Hollow almost destroyed me. Now it's raising the dead?
Layla: (Screaming) Enzo! Enzo!
Layla looks more worried.
Enzo: (grunts) Here! [Layla breathes out in relief.]
Layla relaxes.
ST. ANNE'S CHURCH
[The Hollow (in Hope's body) is standing in the church with her followers.]
Marcel: [walks in with Aria] Quite the party. [Marcel and Aria walk past the Hollow's followers, heading towards her and Dominic.]
Dominic: Marcel Gerard, king of New Orleans. [Marcel and Aria collide against an invisible wall.]
"Another distraction?" Asked Marcel.
Dominic: Accompanied by his top advisor. Well, I trust you've come to grovel and bow before the power of the Hollow.
Marcel: Actually, we came to make a truce. The way I see it, we both have the same enemy: the Mikaelsons. Now, you help me get them out of this city, and maybe there's a world in which we all live happily ever after.
Dominic: Diplomacy. A wise choice.
[Dominic slowly turns his head to look at the Hollow standing next to him. When she nods, Dominic releases the boundary spell that stops Marcel and Sofya so they can get closer. Marcel and Sofya approach the Hollow stopping in front of her.]
The Hollow/Hope: I want the king to kneel before me. [Marcel kneels.]
Marcel glares at Hollow.
Dominic: Behold, covens of New Orleans, even the great Marcel Gerard is nothing in the face of the Hollow.
[Marcel raises his head and blows some magic dust in the face of the Hollow, causing her to fall asleep.]
"Yeeees!" Cheered Layla. Others look excited, too.
[Then he takes her in his arms and goes off at vampire speed. Aria, on the other hand, stays there and kills Dominic. Then she turns to face the rest of the Hollow's followers.]
Klaus: [appears from the left side of the altar] Hear ye, hear ye, all disciples and acolytes of the evil Hollow. Now that your master has been subdued, the power she promised you has been revoked, rendering you helpless, and bringing this pitiful coup to a rather abrupt end. [He lift and shows the witches an object in his hand.] This dark object has the astounding ability to seal you in the room. [Klaus drops the dark object, which immediately breaks, trapping the Hollow's followers.]
Elijah: [appears from a raised floor in the church, holding a bottle containing flammable material, with a handkerchief wrapped around its neck] Which is very inconvenient indeed. Particularly when one considers the architectural composition of the structure. And so, with very little effort... [Elijah sets the handkerchief on fire with a candle]
Elijah: [continues his speech with the bottle still in his hand] This place becomes an inferno. [Klaus looks at his brother, Elijah drops the bottle where the followers of the Hollow are trapped, watching them as they scream and burn alive.]
"Oh, how i missed those sounds." Said Kol.
"So did i." Said Bella. Davina gave them disapproving looks.
THE ABATTOIR (HOPE'S BEDROOM)
[Hope, still possessed by the Hollow, is sleeping in her bed with chains on her wrists. Klaus is standing looking at her.]
Klaus: I know you're in there. And I know you can hear me, so I want you to listen very carefully. [Klaus leans over to Hope and begins to talk to her, his eyes glistening with tears.]
Klaus: You are my daughter. You're a Mikaelson. And you are strong, and brave, unlike anyone I've ever known.
[Hayley is walking around there. When she sees Klaus talking to Hope, she stops to look at them.]
Klaus: [continues talking to his daughter] In fact, you helped me believe in something your uncle once said. "Family is power". [Klaus kisses Hope on the forehead, then sighs.]
Everyone smiles at him. Elijah looks proud.
