The Vampire Diaries Season 3

Homecoming

[Salvatore's House]

(Stefan calls someone)

[Woods]

(Klaus is in the woods. His phone rings. He answers. It's Stefan)

Klaus: Portland is fantastic once you can get over all the whiney music and healthy-looking people. It's literally a breeding ground for werewolves

Stefan: Your father's dead

Klaus: What did you say to me?

Stefan: Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father, and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?

Klaus: Well, first, I want you to explain to me exactly what happened

One Hour earlier

[Salvatore's House]

(Stefan, chelsea, Elena and Damon enter the library)

Stefan: All right, we'll say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her so he could use her as bait

Elena: And you, what, vervained him?

Damon: No, we vervained him. The guy's an original. Make it realistic

chelsea: Ok. Fine. We vervained him and in the process discovered that he had a dagger

Elena: Which he planned to use on Rebekah. But instead...

Stefan: We drove it through his heart

Elena: And what happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?

Damon: Good point. You, my brother, have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So if the idea is to lure him back here and kill him, the last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue tied

Stefan: Well don't look at me. I'm just in charge of getting him back here

Elena: Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael's dead, he'll want proof

(Mikael enters)

Mikael: Then I shall be dead

(He puts a dagger and a vial of white oak ashes on the table)

chelsea: What if he wants to see in person?

Mikael: Well, it means our plan is working. Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here, and I will kill him

Stefan: With what? Those daggers won't work on him

Mikael: Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree The one that left these ashes when it burned

Damon: Where is it?

Mikael: Not here. Knowing its location is my insurance policy

(He puts the dagger in the vial containing the white oak tree ashes)

Stefan: Against what?

Mikael: You leaving this in my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So... it falls to you

(He holds the dagger toward Elena)

Elena: You want me to actually dagger you?

Mikael: Klaus will leave nothing to chance. Especially when it comes to trust

Back to one hour later

[Salvatore's House]

Klaus: I want to see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself

Stefan: Well, he's here

(He gets up and looks at Mikael's body. Elena and Damon are here)

Stefan: Come by whenever

Klaus: If you're lying to me, Stefan, your compulsion will expose you. So answer with your life. Is what you're saying the truth?

Stefan: It's true. I saw it with my own eyes

Klaus: I want to talk to Rebekah

(He looks at Damon, chelsea and Elena and turns himself)

Stefan: That's not a problem. She's right here

(He looks at Rebekah and gives her the phone)

Rebekah: Hello, Nik

Klaus: Rebekah, love. What's this I hear about Mikael's tragic run-in with a dagger?

Rebekah: It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here

Klaus: I'll be home soon

Rebekah: Good. I'll see you then, brother

(She hangs up, looks at Mikael and then gives the phone to Stefan)

Rebekah: He bought it. He's coming home

(Elena is relieved. Rebekah leaves the room. Stefan looks at Elena and Damon)

Damon: Now was that easy or what?

Elena: Let's just get this over with

(She removes the dagger from Mikael)

[Salvatore's House]

(Rebekah is painting her nails. Mikael wakes up)

Rebekah: Finally. Took you long enough

Mikael: Rebekah...

Rebekah: Whatever fatherly rubbish you're thinking, save it. Nothing you say matters to me

Mikael: I see. Where's my dagger?

Rebekah: Elena has it. So you can forget your plans to use it on me

Mikael: You were never the one I was after

Rebekah: Nik was my family. If you were after him, you were after me

Mikael: He blinded you, Rebekah. He killed your mother

Rebekah: I know what he did. And he'll pay for it with his life. But Nik was not born a killer. None of us were. You did this to us when you turned us into vampires. You destroyed our family. Not him

Mikael: Rebekah...

(She leaves)
