1
00:00:01,274 --> 00:00:02,830
Previously on
"The Vampire Diaries"...
2
00:00:02,831 --> 00:00:05,233
The only thing stronger
than your craving for blood
3
00:00:05,234 --> 00:00:06,768
is your love
for this one girl.
4
00:00:06,769 --> 00:00:09,187
How long has it been since
you had a drop of human blood?
5
00:00:09,188 --> 00:00:10,305
Since the night
I threatened
6
00:00:10,306 --> 00:00:11,773
to drive Elena
off the wickery bridge.
7
00:00:11,774 --> 00:00:14,493
Look at the images on
the wall behind Elena.
8
00:00:14,494 --> 00:00:15,610
A white oak tree
9
00:00:15,611 --> 00:00:18,413
300 years after we fled
back to the old world.
10
00:00:18,414 --> 00:00:19,581
That tree
could kill us.
11
00:00:19,582 --> 00:00:21,633
Brian Walters,
the medical examiner.
12
00:00:21,634 --> 00:00:23,251
- He's not a vampire.
- This was a murder.
13
00:00:23,252 --> 00:00:24,419
Why don't
you just ask Rick
14
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,622
if his dirty little doctor
had access to the weapons?
15
00:00:27,623 --> 00:00:29,524
You think I killed
my ex-boyfriend?
16
00:00:29,525 --> 00:00:31,305
Dad.
17
00:00:34,514 --> 00:00:36,982
You weren't
supposed to see that.
18
00:00:49,896 --> 00:00:53,115
Will you get home all right,
Mr. Salvatore?
19
00:00:53,116 --> 00:00:55,200
I could send for one
of the police vehicles.
20
00:00:55,201 --> 00:00:57,969
A little winter chill never
hurt anyone, sheriff Forbes.
21
00:00:57,970 --> 00:01:00,188
I'm less concerned
about the cold front,
22
00:01:00,189 --> 00:01:01,490
more for your safety.
23
00:01:01,491 --> 00:01:02,708
One councilman's murder
24
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:05,711
doesn't make
an epidemic, Gerald.
25
00:01:05,712 --> 00:01:06,828
Good night.
26
00:01:06,829 --> 00:01:08,246
Night.
27
00:01:45,785 --> 00:01:47,502
The mystery's
not gonna get solved
28
00:01:47,503 --> 00:01:50,005
any faster with you
yelling at me, Carol.
29
00:01:50,006 --> 00:01:51,506
We have
2 council murders
30
00:01:51,507 --> 00:01:53,575
and an attempted murder
on our hands.
31
00:01:53,576 --> 00:01:54,876
If you have a suspect,
32
00:01:54,877 --> 00:01:56,845
it is your duty
to keep me in the loop.
33
00:01:56,846 --> 00:01:58,263
No, it's my duty
to make sure
34
00:01:58,264 --> 00:02:00,465
I don't accuse an innocent
person of being a serial killer.
35
00:02:00,466 --> 00:02:02,968
Just tell me
who it is, Liz.

www.addic7ed.com/
37
00:02:27,850 --> 00:02:29,494
I didn't do it.
38
00:02:29,495 --> 00:02:30,512
You're arresting him?
39
00:02:30,513 --> 00:02:32,414
For what this nutjob
Dr. Fell says?
40
00:02:32,415 --> 00:02:34,049
No, I'm detaining him.
41
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:36,284
The cell is for his own good.
You were shot.
42
00:02:39,788 --> 00:02:41,006
Because you came at her
with a knife.
43
00:02:41,007 --> 00:02:43,225
Yeah, with a knife I had
found hidden in her things.
44
00:02:43,226 --> 00:02:45,727
Are we gonna ignore the part where
he's one of the killer's victims?
45
00:02:45,728 --> 00:02:47,646
I mean, the guy was
practically stabbed to death.
46
00:02:47,647 --> 00:02:49,681
Well, Dr. Fell
suggested his wounds
47
00:02:49,682 --> 00:02:50,849
could have been
self-inflicted.
48
00:02:50,850 --> 00:02:52,267
My God, you think
I stabbed myself?
49
00:02:52,268 --> 00:02:54,519
Look, I think
I don't know what to think.
50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,021
I've got nothing
51
00:02:56,022 --> 00:02:57,606
except murder weapons
from your stash
52
00:02:57,607 --> 00:03:00,492
and a respected member of a founding
family pointing a very long finger.
53
00:03:00,493 --> 00:03:02,027
She is setting me up.
54
00:03:02,028 --> 00:03:03,829
- I'm being framed here.
- Well, that may be so,
55
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:05,480
but I don't have
any proof of that.
56
00:03:05,481 --> 00:03:06,498
Well, then we'll
find some.
57
00:03:06,499 --> 00:03:07,999
No, just stay out
of this, Damon.
58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,418
You getting involved is only
gonna make matters worse.
59
00:03:10,419 --> 00:03:11,753
- Listen, Liz...
- Don't make me
60
00:03:11,754 --> 00:03:13,839
put you in that cell
with him.
61
00:03:17,593 --> 00:03:20,262
What are we running,
a marathon?
62
00:03:20,263 --> 00:03:21,880
If you can't keep up...
63
00:03:21,881 --> 00:03:23,882
Elena, you can't
outrun your problems.
64
00:03:23,883 --> 00:03:26,268
Although it looks
like you're gonna try.
65
00:03:26,269 --> 00:03:27,719
I talked to Bonnie!
66
00:03:29,472 --> 00:03:31,306
What did she say?
67
00:03:31,307 --> 00:03:33,675
They're
at her mom's house.
68
00:03:33,676 --> 00:03:37,011
Abby's gonna complete
the transition.
69
00:03:37,846 --> 00:03:39,847
She decided
to become a vampire?
70
00:03:39,848 --> 00:03:40,848
Yeah.
71
00:03:40,849 --> 00:03:42,850
Caroline's gonna
help her through it,
72
00:03:42,851 --> 00:03:45,687
teach her control
and stuff.
73
00:03:46,989 --> 00:03:49,124
Did Bonnie say...
74
00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:53,345
Is there anything
I can do?
75
00:03:53,346 --> 00:03:55,380
She knows it's not
your fault, Elena.
76
00:03:55,381 --> 00:03:56,548
She's just...
77
00:03:56,549 --> 00:03:57,865
Upset.
78
00:03:57,866 --> 00:03:59,718
Damon turned her mom
into a vampire
79
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:01,303
to save my life.
80
00:04:01,304 --> 00:04:04,372
It's absolutely
my fault.
81
00:04:05,341 --> 00:04:07,726
You're gonna make me
run more, aren't you?
82
00:04:09,595 --> 00:04:11,263
Who is it?
83
00:04:11,264 --> 00:04:13,815
Sheriff Forbes.
Everything ok?
84
00:04:15,651 --> 00:04:17,769
He what?
85
00:04:29,865 --> 00:04:31,833
Were you just with...
86
00:04:31,834 --> 00:04:32,784
Ric's fine.
87
00:04:32,785 --> 00:04:34,536
Sheriff wants me
to stay out of it.
88
00:04:35,338 --> 00:04:37,706
But you're
not going to,
89
00:04:37,707 --> 00:04:38,673
are you?
90
00:04:38,674 --> 00:04:40,542
Seems just as good
a plan as any.
91
00:04:40,543 --> 00:04:42,544
Your friend's in jail
for murder.
92
00:04:42,545 --> 00:04:43,578
You have
to do something.
93
00:04:43,579 --> 00:04:45,413
Well, I guess
I could rip out
94
00:04:45,414 --> 00:04:47,849
Dr. False Accusation's throat
or maybe her tongue.
95
00:04:47,850 --> 00:04:50,018
You know, I could chew it up
in little, tiny pieces
96
00:04:50,019 --> 00:04:51,686
and feed it
to the squirrels.
97
00:04:51,687 --> 00:04:52,637
Stop it, Damon.
98
00:04:52,638 --> 00:04:54,723
Guess me
staying out of it
99
00:04:54,724 --> 00:04:57,309
suddenly sounds like
a good idea, doesn't it?
100
00:04:57,310 --> 00:04:59,277
I saved your life
last night.
101
00:04:59,278 --> 00:05:00,362
You're welcome.
102
00:05:00,363 --> 00:05:01,446
You know, you could show
103
00:05:01,447 --> 00:05:02,864
a little compassion
about Bonnie.
104
00:05:02,865 --> 00:05:05,200
I know. You're right.
105
00:05:05,201 --> 00:05:08,570
Her and her mom must be
really hurting right now.
106
00:05:08,571 --> 00:05:10,905
Should I send lasagna?
107
00:05:10,906 --> 00:05:12,774
Ok, now you're
just being mean.
108
00:05:12,775 --> 00:05:14,075
I'm mean. You hate me.
109
00:05:14,076 --> 00:05:15,877
The earth is
back on its axis.
110
00:05:15,878 --> 00:05:18,446
You know what?
If you keep pushing people away,
111
00:05:18,447 --> 00:05:20,081
you're gonna
end up alone.
112
00:05:43,723 --> 00:05:45,056
"Dear diary,
113
00:05:45,057 --> 00:05:48,827
"the chipmunk asked me
my name today.
114
00:05:48,828 --> 00:05:50,528
"I told him it was Joe.
115
00:05:50,529 --> 00:05:52,280
That lie
will haunt me forever."
116
00:05:52,281 --> 00:05:53,415
What do you want?
117
00:05:53,416 --> 00:05:55,149
I was hoping
we could hang.
118
00:05:55,150 --> 00:05:56,701
You know,
ttle brother bonding.
119
00:05:56,702 --> 00:05:58,586
I mean, I know
we don't actually
120
00:05:58,587 --> 00:05:59,954
"hang out."
121
00:05:59,955 --> 00:06:01,589
We team up.
122
00:06:01,590 --> 00:06:03,208
We join forces,
123
00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:05,827
activate our
wonder twin powers.
124
00:06:06,962 --> 00:06:08,263
What are you doing?
125
00:06:08,264 --> 00:06:10,465
Digging up clues.
126
00:06:10,466 --> 00:06:12,050
Most of the originals
are gone,
127
00:06:12,051 --> 00:06:13,935
but we have
a whodunit going on.
128
00:06:13,936 --> 00:06:16,337
Hey, do you remember when we came
back for Zachariah's funeral?
129
00:06:16,338 --> 00:06:17,338
Vaguely. Why?
130
00:06:17,339 --> 00:06:18,773
'Cause if memory serves,
131
00:06:18,774 --> 00:06:22,510
he wasn't the first founders
council member killed that year
132
00:06:22,511 --> 00:06:23,828
or even that month.
133
00:06:23,829 --> 00:06:25,146
Your point being?
134
00:06:25,147 --> 00:06:26,648
I'm trying to remember
what year it was.
135
00:06:26,649 --> 00:06:27,699
1912.
136
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:29,401
So much for vaguely.
137
00:06:31,454 --> 00:06:32,987
1912.
138
00:06:32,988 --> 00:06:35,240
Or as I like to call it,
139
00:06:35,241 --> 00:06:39,294
last time Mystic Falls had
a serial killer on its hands.
140
00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:48,553
It feels so strange
141
00:06:48,554 --> 00:06:51,423
to be home again
after so long away.
142
00:06:56,378 --> 00:06:59,431
I thought
I would never return,
143
00:06:59,432 --> 00:07:01,266
certainly not for a funeral.
144
00:07:02,985 --> 00:07:05,186
I'm sorry for your loss,
Mr. Salvatore.
145
00:07:05,187 --> 00:07:07,722
I'm told you're a distant
cousin of Zachariah.
146
00:07:07,723 --> 00:07:09,908
His nephew, actually.
147
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:11,659
- Miss...
- Lockwood.
148
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:12,777
Mariana Lockwood.
149
00:07:12,778 --> 00:07:15,163
And this is my friend
Samantha Gilbert.
150
00:07:15,164 --> 00:07:16,898
As in Jonathan Gilbert.
151
00:07:16,899 --> 00:07:18,917
My late grandfather.
152
00:07:18,918 --> 00:07:20,335
Did you know him?
153
00:07:20,336 --> 00:07:21,636
Crossed paths.
154
00:07:23,005 --> 00:07:25,340
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be...
155
00:07:25,341 --> 00:07:27,542
Inappropriate.
156
00:07:27,543 --> 00:07:29,828
But no one
seems to be willing
157
00:07:29,829 --> 00:07:32,397
to discuss the details
of Zachariah's death.
158
00:07:33,716 --> 00:07:34,799
He was murdered,
159
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,134
and he wasn't
the first.
160
00:07:36,135 --> 00:07:37,402
Samantha, don't be a gossip.
161
00:07:37,403 --> 00:07:38,903
Why not?
He should know.
162
00:07:38,904 --> 00:07:40,922
He's a founding
family like us.
163
00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:43,057
Be careful,
Mr. Salvatore.
164
00:07:43,058 --> 00:07:46,528
It's not a good time to
be a founder in this town.
165
00:07:57,706 --> 00:08:01,376
Have you been
eating the relatives again?
166
00:08:03,045 --> 00:08:05,446
Damon.
167
00:08:05,447 --> 00:08:07,515
It's been
a long time, brother.
168
00:08:07,516 --> 00:08:10,218
It's been
almost 50 years.
169
00:08:10,219 --> 00:08:12,420
Surprised you came.
170
00:08:12,421 --> 00:08:14,556
And miss
the funeral of...
171
00:08:14,557 --> 00:08:16,207
What do you call him?
172
00:08:16,208 --> 00:08:17,709
Uncle Zachariah?
173
00:08:20,496 --> 00:08:21,896
I see you're
still mad at me.
174
00:08:21,897 --> 00:08:24,349
Why would I be mad
at you, Stefan?
175
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:26,184
You made me
become a vampire,
176
00:08:26,185 --> 00:08:28,937
and now I walk the world alone
drinking other people's blood.
177
00:08:28,938 --> 00:08:31,689
Any chance you took it all
out on our nephew Zachariah?
178
00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:32,774
If I'm not mistaken,
179
00:08:32,775 --> 00:08:35,076
you were the one who
killed our family members.
180
00:08:35,077 --> 00:08:36,661
May our father
rest in peace.
181
00:08:36,662 --> 00:08:38,696
I'm not like that
anymore, Damon.
182
00:08:38,697 --> 00:08:40,999
Well, congratulations,
Stefan.
183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,952
If you'll excuse me, I'd like
to live out my eternal existence
184
00:08:43,953 --> 00:08:45,954
as far away from you
as possible.
185
00:08:48,591 --> 00:08:49,824
Damon, wait.
186
00:08:52,595 --> 00:08:54,829
Let's grab a drink,
187
00:08:54,830 --> 00:08:55,997
catch up.
188
00:09:01,403 --> 00:09:03,170
I've missed you,
brother.
189
00:09:08,561 --> 00:09:10,728
Sure.
190
00:09:10,729 --> 00:09:12,096
Why not?
191
00:09:15,985 --> 00:09:17,402
What do
you say, brother?
192
00:09:17,403 --> 00:09:18,620
You wanna go get drunk?
193
00:09:18,621 --> 00:09:21,990
Ah. I get it.
194
00:09:21,991 --> 00:09:23,291
I get it.
195
00:09:23,292 --> 00:09:24,243
You're bored.
196
00:09:24,244 --> 00:09:25,910
Your best friend's
in jail,
197
00:09:25,911 --> 00:09:27,829
and you don't have
anything better
198
00:09:27,830 --> 00:09:29,497
- to do with yourself.
- Well, there's that.
199
00:09:29,498 --> 00:09:30,915
And...
200
00:09:30,916 --> 00:09:34,035
I was hoping you could
help me solve a murder.
201
00:09:45,024 --> 00:09:47,591
Thank you for meeting
with me, mayor.
202
00:09:47,592 --> 00:09:49,593
I figured as head of the
preservation society,
203
00:09:49,594 --> 00:09:51,295
you'd be
a good person to ask
204
00:09:51,296 --> 00:09:52,846
about the oldest trees
in this community.
205
00:09:52,847 --> 00:09:55,266
A long line of Lockwood women
used to keep those records
206
00:09:55,267 --> 00:09:58,468
back before any of them
had actual jobs.
207
00:09:58,469 --> 00:10:00,437
I've been
to the founders archive,
208
00:10:00,438 --> 00:10:04,191
but I can't seem to find any
record of the tree I'm looking for.
209
00:10:04,192 --> 00:10:05,859
It probably
got cut down.
210
00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:09,246
Big old trees built half
this town in the 1900s.
211
00:10:09,247 --> 00:10:12,082
- Ho.
She-devil, 9 o'clock.
212
00:10:20,842 --> 00:10:22,376
Do you happen
to know who kept
213
00:10:22,377 --> 00:10:24,044
the milling ledgers
during that period?
214
00:10:24,045 --> 00:10:26,130
Back then,
all the logging mills
215
00:10:26,131 --> 00:10:28,048
were owned
by the Salvatores.
216
00:10:32,503 --> 00:10:34,438
So what does
the Cal examiner,
217
00:10:34,439 --> 00:10:37,057
bill Forbes,
and Alaric Saltzman have in common?
218
00:10:38,226 --> 00:10:40,477
Come on.
Knock it off.
219
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:42,947
Ahem.
220
00:10:42,948 --> 00:10:45,182
You know, quitting blood
cold Turkey
221
00:10:45,183 --> 00:10:48,185
after a ripper binge,
probably not the best approach.
222
00:10:48,186 --> 00:10:50,237
Every time you play
that all-or-nothing game,
223
00:10:50,238 --> 00:10:52,289
you eventually leave
a trail of bodies,
224
00:10:52,290 --> 00:10:54,024
so I'm thinking
now's a good time
225
00:10:54,025 --> 00:10:56,076
to pay our old friend
moderation a visit.
226
00:10:56,077 --> 00:10:58,278
They were all on
the founders council, Damon.
227
00:10:58,279 --> 00:10:59,913
That's what
they have in common.
228
00:10:59,914 --> 00:11:00,964
But why them, huh?
229
00:11:00,965 --> 00:11:03,384
Brian Walters
and Alaric
230
00:11:03,385 --> 00:11:04,752
weren't from
founding families.
231
00:11:04,753 --> 00:11:06,303
I mean, hey,
232
00:11:06,304 --> 00:11:08,972
if you gotta slaughter
council members, go a-list.
233
00:11:08,973 --> 00:11:11,642
At least in 1912,
they killed a Salvatore.
234
00:11:11,643 --> 00:11:13,844
Which Salvatore
would that be?
235
00:11:16,648 --> 00:11:18,349
You'll have to agree,
sheriff,
236
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:19,633
there's no motive here.
237
00:11:19,634 --> 00:11:21,618
Look, both
the medical examiner
238
00:11:21,619 --> 00:11:24,688
and my ex-husband got into
altercations with Meredith Fell
239
00:11:24,689 --> 00:11:25,657
before their deaths.
240
00:11:25,658 --> 00:11:27,441
Now, she said
you were a witness
241
00:11:27,442 --> 00:11:29,326
to her fight
with Brian Walters.
242
00:11:29,327 --> 00:11:31,895
So what are you saying,
that I was defending hehono
243
00:11:31,896 --> 00:11:32,996
I barely knew her then.
244
00:11:32,997 --> 00:11:34,431
She said she also told
you bill threatened
245
00:11:34,432 --> 00:11:35,666
to report her
to the medical board
246
00:11:35,667 --> 00:11:37,368
for giving him
vampire blood.
247
00:11:37,369 --> 00:11:38,619
No, she didn't.
248
00:11:38,620 --> 00:11:40,871
A 2 a.M. Call
on the night he was killed?
249
00:11:40,872 --> 00:11:43,173
I pulled your records.
250
00:11:43,174 --> 00:11:45,626
You spoke with her
for over an hour.
251
00:11:49,464 --> 00:11:50,798
Ok. I, uh...
252
00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:54,635
Yes, I...
253
00:11:54,636 --> 00:11:57,354
I remember
calling her, but I...
254
00:11:57,355 --> 00:11:59,940
I was drinking,
and I...
255
00:11:59,941 --> 00:12:01,975
I don't remember
the conversation.
256
00:12:01,976 --> 00:12:05,095
Well, do you have an alibi for
the night Brian Walters was killed?
257
00:12:05,096 --> 00:12:07,698
I was there the night of
the bridge fundraiser, ok,
258
00:12:07,699 --> 00:12:09,216
until midnight.
You saw me there.
259
00:12:09,217 --> 00:12:12,269
Time of death was
between 1:00 and 3 a.M.
260
00:12:13,121 --> 00:12:15,072
Well, then, I...
261
00:12:15,073 --> 00:12:19,376
I must have been home
sleeping, I'm sure.
262
00:12:19,377 --> 00:12:20,994
I'm sure of it.
263
00:12:22,547 --> 00:12:25,632
So Zachariah Salvatore
was your nephew?
264
00:12:25,633 --> 00:12:29,086
Well, our father knocked up one
of the maids during the civil war.
265
00:12:29,087 --> 00:12:30,120
She had a son.
266
00:12:30,121 --> 00:12:31,889
But as far
as everyone else knew,
267
00:12:31,890 --> 00:12:33,223
Stefan and I were dead.
268
00:12:33,224 --> 00:12:34,842
Family name
had to go somewhere.
269
00:12:34,843 --> 00:12:37,428
And, uh, your family owned
the logging mills back then.
270
00:12:37,429 --> 00:12:39,897
You're full of
a lot of questions.
271
00:12:39,898 --> 00:12:41,965
I'm just researching
the town history.
272
00:12:41,966 --> 00:12:43,150
I grew up here,
after all.
273
00:12:43,151 --> 00:12:44,568
You know, you don't
have to disguise
274
00:12:44,569 --> 00:12:46,320
your true motives.
Blondie bex.
275
00:12:46,321 --> 00:12:49,156
If you want more sex,
just ask for it.
276
00:12:50,142 --> 00:12:51,942
Not enough liquor
in the world.
277
00:12:51,943 --> 00:12:54,995
On, come on. It was too good
for you to be this hostile.
278
00:12:57,432 --> 00:12:59,816
You'll have to excuse
my little brother.
279
00:12:59,817 --> 00:13:02,085
He's jonesing
for some o-positive.
280
00:13:02,086 --> 00:13:04,338
I'm not jonesing.
281
00:13:04,339 --> 00:13:07,040
So they ever
catch the killer?
282
00:13:07,041 --> 00:13:08,375
Nope.
283
00:13:08,376 --> 00:13:10,310
Wrote it all off
on vampires.
284
00:13:10,311 --> 00:13:12,012
Maybe it was
a vampire.
285
00:13:12,013 --> 00:13:13,330
Yeah.
286
00:13:13,331 --> 00:13:17,100
Yeah, maybe it was
a vampire, Damon.
287
00:13:17,101 --> 00:13:20,487
Don't think for a second you
didn't cross my mind, too, brother.
288
00:13:20,488 --> 00:13:22,890
But these murders weren't
your style, were they?
289
00:13:24,008 --> 00:13:27,361
Plus there were no other
vampires circulating then.
290
00:13:27,362 --> 00:13:30,314
Well, there was
one other vampire.
291
00:13:31,232 --> 00:13:33,317
Remember sage?
292
00:13:33,318 --> 00:13:36,236
Oh, right.
293
00:13:36,237 --> 00:13:38,489
Sage.
294
00:13:39,874 --> 00:13:41,291
Speaking of great sex.
295
00:13:41,292 --> 00:13:43,026
Oof.
296
00:13:43,027 --> 00:13:45,212
- Maybe you've had enough.
- Ladies and gentlemen...
297
00:13:45,213 --> 00:13:46,880
Hit a man
when he's down.
298
00:13:46,881 --> 00:13:48,916
Sell your horse.
Come one and all
299
00:13:48,917 --> 00:13:50,634
to see the San Francisco
world fair
300
00:13:50,635 --> 00:13:52,002
middleweight champion...
301
00:13:52,003 --> 00:13:54,137
... greatest foe down.
302
00:13:54,138 --> 00:13:55,839
Get ready,
ladies and gentlemen,
303
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,840
for an evening...
304
00:14:07,652 --> 00:14:08,852
Whoo!
305
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,737
Who's next?
306
00:14:10,738 --> 00:14:15,659
$100 to any man
who can beat me.
307
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,535
I can teach you
how to survive
308
00:14:24,536 --> 00:14:25,953
without human blood,
you know.
309
00:14:25,954 --> 00:14:29,072
You do not get to lecture
me on how to live my life,
310
00:14:29,073 --> 00:14:30,507
not anymore.
311
00:14:41,219 --> 00:14:42,769
What's your name?
312
00:14:42,770 --> 00:14:43,754
Not interested.
313
00:14:43,755 --> 00:14:45,055
Well,
Mr. not interested,
314
00:14:45,056 --> 00:14:47,090
you seem to me like
a gambling man.
315
00:14:47,091 --> 00:14:49,226
I'm afraid
you have me all wrong.
316
00:14:53,281 --> 00:14:55,032
Humph.
317
00:14:55,033 --> 00:14:57,951
Well,
that's too bad.
318
00:15:01,939 --> 00:15:04,041
I knew a sage once.
319
00:15:04,042 --> 00:15:05,042
Trashy little thing.
320
00:15:05,043 --> 00:15:06,543
You really think
it was sage
321
00:15:06,544 --> 00:15:08,412
who was killing all
those founders back then?
322
00:15:08,413 --> 00:15:11,048
Town questioned
every grown man in Mystic Falls.
323
00:15:11,049 --> 00:15:12,683
Probably never
occurred to them
324
00:15:12,684 --> 00:15:15,218
that a woman
could have done it.
325
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:23,727
I'm due in surgery.
326
00:15:23,728 --> 00:15:26,129
Whatever case you're
gonna make against Alaric,
327
00:15:26,130 --> 00:15:27,098
make it quick.
328
00:15:27,099 --> 00:15:28,798
I don't
have to make a case.
329
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:29,799
He didn't do anything.
330
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,901
How do you know?
331
00:15:30,902 --> 00:15:32,969
Sure you live with him,
he takes care of you,
332
00:15:32,970 --> 00:15:34,638
but do you really know
anything about him?
333
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:35,972
I know enough.
334
00:15:35,973 --> 00:15:38,408
Let me tell you
what I know.
335
00:15:38,409 --> 00:15:41,678
He was arrested for fighting
4 times before the age of 21.
336
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:44,081
When he was at Duke,
his future wife Isobel
337
00:15:44,082 --> 00:15:47,150
filed a restraining
order against him twice.
338
00:15:47,151 --> 00:15:49,252
Although then
she married him,
339
00:15:49,253 --> 00:15:50,921
so I guess that says
more about her.
340
00:15:50,922 --> 00:15:52,923
Ok, you're making
all of this up.
341
00:15:52,924 --> 00:15:53,924
Am I?
342
00:15:53,925 --> 00:15:55,158
How would you know?
343
00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:57,844
You took pity on a borderline
alcoholic vampire hunter,
344
00:15:57,845 --> 00:16:00,480
and you never even thought
to look any deeper.
345
00:16:00,481 --> 00:16:03,216
How could you
do this to him?
346
00:16:03,217 --> 00:16:06,503
He didn't kill anyone,
and you know it.
347
00:16:07,388 --> 00:16:09,773
You date vampires,
Elena.
348
00:16:09,774 --> 00:16:11,675
It shouldn't
come as a shock
349
00:16:11,676 --> 00:16:14,478
to learn that your guardian is
a murderer.
350
00:16:26,411 --> 00:16:29,789
So, uh, tell me more
about your old relatives.
351
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:32,842
I heard they tore down half
the woods to make this town.
352
00:16:32,843 --> 00:16:34,594
Easy there, lushy pants.
353
00:16:34,595 --> 00:16:36,012
It's been
a hoot and a half,
354
00:16:36,013 --> 00:16:37,013
but it's boys night,
355
00:16:37,014 --> 00:16:39,182
and you weren't invited.
356
00:16:39,183 --> 00:16:40,383
Come on.
357
00:16:45,940 --> 00:16:47,140
Wow. Nice job.
358
00:16:47,141 --> 00:16:49,342
I'll add breaking
and entering to the list
359
00:16:49,343 --> 00:16:51,511
of life favors you owe me.
360
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:54,214
Ok, look, I don't know how much
longer she's gonna be in surgery,
361
00:16:54,215 --> 00:16:56,866
so let's see
what we can find.
362
00:16:56,867 --> 00:16:59,869
Don't you think the police
already combed through this place?
363
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:01,688
She handed over
everything she had.
364
00:17:01,689 --> 00:17:05,158
Yeah, I'm looking for the evidence
that she didn't hand over.
365
00:17:05,159 --> 00:17:07,627
And you're sure it's her
we should be investigating?
366
00:17:07,628 --> 00:17:10,413
I know him, Matt.
367
00:17:10,414 --> 00:17:12,248
He's innocent.
368
00:17:12,249 --> 00:17:15,001
And I know that
Meredith's a Fell,
369
00:17:15,002 --> 00:17:17,220
founding family,
370
00:17:17,221 --> 00:17:18,505
which means...
371
00:17:37,725 --> 00:17:39,159
Skeleton in the closet...
372
00:17:40,161 --> 00:17:41,528
Just like a true founder.
373
00:17:57,978 --> 00:18:00,997
Brian Walters,
bill Forbes.
374
00:18:05,603 --> 00:18:07,237
Alaric Saltzman.
375
00:18:07,238 --> 00:18:08,605
So...
376
00:18:08,606 --> 00:18:11,274
Let's just say sage was
killing everyone in 1912.
377
00:18:11,275 --> 00:18:13,309
Who the hell
is doing it now?
378
00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:15,595
It's not that psycho,
Dr. Fell.
379
00:18:15,596 --> 00:18:17,280
She's a woman.
380
00:18:17,281 --> 00:18:19,699
There's no way
she could stab 3 grown men.
381
00:18:21,435 --> 00:18:22,435
That's a bit sexist.
382
00:18:22,436 --> 00:18:25,104
A woman could
easily kill a man
383
00:18:25,105 --> 00:18:26,606
with the right
motivation.
384
00:18:26,607 --> 00:18:30,076
You just, uh,
don't give up, do you?
385
00:18:30,077 --> 00:18:31,961
Why are you
so grumpy?
386
00:18:31,962 --> 00:18:33,079
He's on a master cleanse,
387
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,831
trying to be
a better man and all.
388
00:18:34,832 --> 00:18:38,802
Yeah, you were a lot
more fun in the twenties.
389
00:18:38,803 --> 00:18:40,220
You'll rile him up.
390
00:18:40,221 --> 00:18:42,288
He's testy when he's
being self-righteous.
391
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:43,840
I'm not being
self-righteous, Damon.
392
00:18:43,841 --> 00:18:45,091
I'm just not interested
393
00:18:45,092 --> 00:18:47,610
in slaughtering innocent
human beings anymore.
394
00:18:47,611 --> 00:18:50,013
Oh, ok.
Fair enough.
395
00:18:50,014 --> 00:18:51,648
My mistake.
396
00:18:53,234 --> 00:18:55,869
You used to be
self-righteous.
397
00:18:55,870 --> 00:18:59,105
"Dear diary,
Damon has lost his way.
398
00:18:59,106 --> 00:19:02,141
"Though I have pulled
my own life together,
399
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:04,811
he continues
to waste his."
400
00:19:04,812 --> 00:19:06,496
Ouch.
401
00:19:06,497 --> 00:19:09,249
"His bitterness
consumes him.
402
00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:12,252
He is nothing but blackness
and bile." Oof.
403
00:19:12,253 --> 00:19:13,253
Judgey.
404
00:19:13,254 --> 00:19:14,254
Oh, this is fun.
405
00:19:14,255 --> 00:19:16,372
You know,
if I'm being honest.
406
00:19:16,373 --> 00:19:18,508
You don't seem like
much fun either, Damon.
407
00:19:18,509 --> 00:19:21,544
I wasn't. Woman I was in love
with was stuck in a tomb.
408
00:19:21,545 --> 00:19:24,180
She wasn't getting out
for 100 years.
409
00:19:24,181 --> 00:19:26,549
I wasn't having
any fun at all.
410
00:19:31,639 --> 00:19:33,056
How sad.
411
00:19:33,057 --> 00:19:35,007
You're doing it
all wrong.
412
00:19:36,861 --> 00:19:38,278
Bad vampire.
413
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:40,113
I was hungry.
414
00:19:40,114 --> 00:19:42,232
Now I'm not hungry.
415
00:19:42,233 --> 00:19:44,617
My quality
of form is...
416
00:19:44,618 --> 00:19:45,569
Purely subjective.
417
00:19:45,570 --> 00:19:47,620
A woman isn't
just for food.
418
00:19:47,621 --> 00:19:48,572
She's for pleasure.
419
00:19:48,573 --> 00:19:50,206
I do not need
a woman for pleasure.
420
00:19:50,207 --> 00:19:51,958
I am spoken for.
421
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,044
We are all
spoken for
422
00:19:55,045 --> 00:19:56,663
in some way.
423
00:19:56,664 --> 00:19:59,048
But what is
being a vampire
424
00:19:59,049 --> 00:20:01,084
if not relishing in
the pleasure of it?
425
00:20:06,056 --> 00:20:08,341
Come along.
Let me show you.
426
00:20:10,511 --> 00:20:12,178
Hit him!
427
00:20:15,816 --> 00:20:18,151
There we go!
Hit him again! Again!
428
00:20:25,326 --> 00:20:26,693
Look at the women.
429
00:20:26,694 --> 00:20:28,778
They're beautiful,
aren't they?
430
00:20:28,779 --> 00:20:31,698
Not them.
They're too hungry for attention.
431
00:20:32,917 --> 00:20:35,535
You want the ones who
button themselves up.
432
00:20:35,536 --> 00:20:39,005
Watch them. They can't
tear their eyes away.
433
00:20:39,006 --> 00:20:43,126
Those are the women
who secretly crave seduction.
434
00:20:43,127 --> 00:20:45,428
They'll put up
a good fight,
435
00:20:45,429 --> 00:20:47,263
but the game is
in winning them over,
436
00:20:47,264 --> 00:20:49,415
making them beg for it.
437
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:51,217
What if they don't?
438
00:20:51,218 --> 00:20:52,802
You're a vampire.
439
00:20:52,803 --> 00:20:54,470
You take it.
440
00:21:01,061 --> 00:21:02,395
Her.
441
00:21:20,881 --> 00:21:22,966
That sounded
like sage, all right.
442
00:21:22,967 --> 00:21:24,500
How did you know her?
443
00:21:24,501 --> 00:21:26,419
She was obsessed
with my brother finn
444
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:27,804
over 900 years ago.
445
00:21:27,805 --> 00:21:29,756
What? Creepy,
suicidal guy?
446
00:21:30,725 --> 00:21:32,759
You're doing it
again.
447
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,760
All right, you know what?
448
00:21:33,761 --> 00:21:35,628
I need to, uh...
449
00:21:35,629 --> 00:21:37,296
I got to get
out of here.
450
00:21:37,297 --> 00:21:38,431
Sure.
451
00:21:38,432 --> 00:21:41,067
First admit
you're jonesing.
452
00:21:41,068 --> 00:21:42,435
Damon, I'm not gonna...
453
00:21:42,436 --> 00:21:43,403
Admit it.
454
00:21:43,404 --> 00:21:44,938
Ok, fine.
I'm freaking out.
455
00:21:44,939 --> 00:21:46,639
I'm ready to eat
the entire wait staff.
456
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,408
Why do you need
to hear me say it?
457
00:21:48,409 --> 00:21:50,193
Because I'm feeling
a little self-righteous, too.
458
00:21:52,813 --> 00:21:55,498
She's got
everything on him...
459
00:21:55,499 --> 00:21:56,783
Medical records,
460
00:21:56,784 --> 00:21:58,084
old court documents.
461
00:21:58,085 --> 00:21:59,252
What's this?
462
00:22:06,293 --> 00:22:08,111
It's an old
Gilbert journal.
463
00:22:08,946 --> 00:22:11,297
Why is one of your
old family journals
464
00:22:11,298 --> 00:22:12,682
in her closet?
465
00:22:13,717 --> 00:22:16,052
Didn't you say
the medical examiner's
466
00:22:16,053 --> 00:22:18,354
time of death was
between 1:00 and 3 a.M.?
467
00:22:18,355 --> 00:22:19,489
Yeah. Why?
468
00:22:19,490 --> 00:22:21,224
Because the county
coroner's office
469
00:22:21,225 --> 00:22:22,442
says that's wrong.
470
00:22:46,834 --> 00:22:48,034
I think...
471
00:22:48,035 --> 00:22:50,202
Shh.
472
00:23:18,369 --> 00:23:19,732
What were you thinking?
473
00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:21,168
I know that we
had no right.
474
00:23:21,169 --> 00:23:22,702
No right?
You broke the law.
475
00:23:22,703 --> 00:23:24,704
But we found something
that clears Alaric.
476
00:23:24,705 --> 00:23:27,390
It gives him an alibi
in the Brian Walters murder
477
00:23:27,391 --> 00:23:29,926
you mean this?
What is that?
478
00:23:29,927 --> 00:23:31,344
A letter from
the county coroner's office
479
00:23:31,345 --> 00:23:33,847
correcting the error in
the time of death of Brian Walters.
480
00:23:33,848 --> 00:23:36,416
Meredith Fell
received it today.
481
00:23:36,417 --> 00:23:38,251
She brought it to me
several hours ago,
482
00:23:38,252 --> 00:23:40,537
full of apologies for
accusing an innocent man.
483
00:23:40,538 --> 00:23:43,023
Why would she have a copy
hidden in her closet?
484
00:23:43,024 --> 00:23:44,441
I can't ask
those questions, Matt,
485
00:23:44,442 --> 00:23:47,277
because of the very fact that you
broke into her home to find it.
486
00:23:47,278 --> 00:23:50,230
Do you know how much
I'm already protecting both of you?
487
00:23:50,231 --> 00:23:51,865
I'm sorry.
488
00:23:51,866 --> 00:23:54,618
Just get out
of my office
489
00:23:54,619 --> 00:23:56,936
and go home, please.
490
00:23:58,189 --> 00:23:59,289
Alaric'll
be released
491
00:23:59,290 --> 00:24:02,158
as soon as the letter
is authenticated.
492
00:24:03,644 --> 00:24:05,412
Go.
493
00:24:10,067 --> 00:24:12,385
So he doesn't
want to drink human blood?
494
00:24:12,386 --> 00:24:14,804
Ah, he has
an eternally guilty conscience.
495
00:24:14,805 --> 00:24:16,973
Funny. When I knew
him in the twenties,
496
00:24:16,974 --> 00:24:18,391
he didn't have any
conscience at all.
497
00:24:18,392 --> 00:24:21,761
It's one of the things
I liked most about him.
498
00:24:21,762 --> 00:24:23,847
He can't possibly think
he can survive without feeding.
499
00:24:23,848 --> 00:24:25,849
Oh, on the contrary.
500
00:24:25,850 --> 00:24:27,350
He's determined
to live his life
501
00:24:27,351 --> 00:24:28,852
pursuing one extreme
or the other.
502
00:24:28,853 --> 00:24:31,187
He's a stubborn one,
my brother.
503
00:24:32,306 --> 00:24:34,807
Think I'm gonna need
some help with this one.
504
00:24:34,808 --> 00:24:37,077
What can I do?
505
00:24:38,613 --> 00:24:40,413
Hmm.
506
00:24:47,755 --> 00:24:48,755
Hello.
507
00:24:48,756 --> 00:24:50,040
Hi.
508
00:24:50,041 --> 00:24:51,625
This may seem
very forward,
509
00:24:51,626 --> 00:24:53,176
but you're just
so pretty.
510
00:24:53,177 --> 00:24:54,161
Thank you.
511
00:24:54,162 --> 00:24:55,729
And please
don't scream.
512
00:24:55,730 --> 00:24:58,098
You're about to have
a very, very bad night.
513
00:25:06,023 --> 00:25:08,341
Stop. Stop it.
514
00:25:10,311 --> 00:25:11,611
Sorry, brother.
515
00:25:11,612 --> 00:25:13,313
It's dinnertime.
516
00:25:13,314 --> 00:25:15,282
Have a bite.
517
00:25:16,117 --> 00:25:18,401
What are you doing?
Tough love, Stefan.
518
00:25:18,402 --> 00:25:20,987
You're not gonna survive this
cold-Turkey thing. You never do.
519
00:25:20,988 --> 00:25:23,623
It's time to get
that monkey off your back.
520
00:25:24,792 --> 00:25:25,792
No.
521
00:25:25,793 --> 00:25:27,860
Feed...
522
00:25:27,861 --> 00:25:29,963
Or I'll let rebekah
have her way with her.
523
00:25:29,964 --> 00:25:31,665
You know
she'll kill her.
524
00:25:31,666 --> 00:25:32,632
Oh, I will.
525
00:25:32,633 --> 00:25:34,301
Then her blood'll
be on your hands.
526
00:25:34,302 --> 00:25:36,169
Or you can just
have a little drink,
527
00:25:36,170 --> 00:25:38,505
save her life.
Come on, Stefan.
528
00:25:38,506 --> 00:25:40,307
You were the one
that said you didn't want
529
00:25:40,308 --> 00:25:43,059
any more innocent life
slaughtered.
530
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:44,094
Save her.
531
00:25:44,095 --> 00:25:45,979
Go on.
Have a bite.
532
00:25:45,980 --> 00:25:47,397
I snatched.
You eat. I erase.
533
00:25:47,398 --> 00:25:49,482
Hell, I'll even heal her
for you when it's over.
534
00:25:49,483 --> 00:25:50,650
Why are you doing this?
535
00:25:50,651 --> 00:25:52,352
You know what blood
does to me.
536
00:25:52,353 --> 00:25:53,853
'Cause you let it
controntyou.
537
00:25:53,854 --> 00:25:55,322
You always have.
I'm just here
538
00:25:55,323 --> 00:25:57,324
to help you learn
how to fight it.
539
00:25:57,325 --> 00:25:59,225
This is rubbish.
540
00:26:14,742 --> 00:26:17,377
That's it, Stefan.
541
00:26:26,971 --> 00:26:29,189
I got it from here.
Go ahead.
542
00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:30,473
Night's just
getting started.
543
00:26:30,474 --> 00:26:32,058
Scram.
No one likes a lurker.
544
00:26:32,059 --> 00:26:34,310
You're a real ass,
you know.
545
00:26:34,311 --> 00:26:35,895
So I'm told.
546
00:26:37,815 --> 00:26:39,866
All right,
that's enough.
547
00:26:39,867 --> 00:26:41,368
Come on.
You're gonna bleed her dry.
548
00:26:41,369 --> 00:26:42,369
You're gonna drain her.
549
00:26:42,370 --> 00:26:44,371
Come on.
550
00:26:47,441 --> 00:26:48,409
I said that's enough.
551
00:26:48,410 --> 00:26:50,410
Hey, you wanna
fight hunger,
552
00:26:50,411 --> 00:26:51,995
or you wanna fight me?
553
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,714
I got you.
554
00:26:56,217 --> 00:26:58,051
That's a good girl.
555
00:26:58,052 --> 00:26:59,919
What are
you doing?
556
00:27:04,458 --> 00:27:06,676
Stefan.
557
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,134
Elena.
558
00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:17,637
What are
you two doing?
559
00:27:17,638 --> 00:27:18,605
Relax, Elena.
560
00:27:18,606 --> 00:27:20,440
Just a little
experiment.
561
00:27:20,441 --> 00:27:23,777
There's no need to make this more
dramatic than it needs to be.
562
00:27:23,778 --> 00:27:26,362
Elena, let's just go.
563
00:27:28,783 --> 00:27:30,983
Elena!
564
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,547
So...
565
00:27:45,382 --> 00:27:47,600
That's gonna take
a little time.
566
00:27:52,690 --> 00:27:54,107
Stefan. Wait. Hey.
567
00:27:54,108 --> 00:27:55,842
Stefan, wait.
568
00:28:13,898 --> 00:28:16,149
Just say it.
569
00:28:16,150 --> 00:28:18,735
I just don't get it,
your thing with them.
570
00:28:18,736 --> 00:28:21,487
I know it doesn't
make sense.
571
00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:26,376
But at the beginning,
572
00:28:26,377 --> 00:28:28,494
after my parents died,
573
00:28:28,495 --> 00:28:30,863
there was something
about being with Stefan
574
00:28:30,864 --> 00:28:31,832
that just...
575
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:34,617
Felt safe.
576
00:28:34,618 --> 00:28:36,636
Safe?
577
00:28:36,637 --> 00:28:37,971
Elena,
he's a vampire.
578
00:28:37,972 --> 00:28:39,205
I know, believe me.
579
00:28:39,206 --> 00:28:42,842
Just saying it out loud
sounds crazy, but...
580
00:28:44,311 --> 00:28:48,848
It's like I knew
that he would never stop loving me,
581
00:28:48,849 --> 00:28:50,883
like he would never...
582
00:28:50,884 --> 00:28:53,686
What?
583
00:28:56,106 --> 00:28:57,740
Die.
584
00:28:59,226 --> 00:29:01,344
Like he would never die.
585
00:29:06,367 --> 00:29:08,668
Like your parents did.
586
00:29:11,905 --> 00:29:13,673
And Damon?
587
00:29:18,462 --> 00:29:23,182
Damon just sort of
snuck up on me.
588
00:29:24,051 --> 00:29:25,285
He got under my skin,
589
00:29:25,286 --> 00:29:27,520
and no matter
what I do, I just...
590
00:29:28,389 --> 00:29:29,872
I can't shake him.
591
00:29:31,859 --> 00:29:34,227
Once you fall
in love with someone,
592
00:29:34,228 --> 00:29:35,611
I don't know if...
593
00:29:35,612 --> 00:29:38,815
I don't know if you
can ever shake 'em.
594
00:29:50,777 --> 00:29:51,777
I'm sorry.
595
00:29:51,778 --> 00:29:55,381
Is... is this weird?
596
00:29:55,382 --> 00:29:58,668
Talking about them
with you?
597
00:29:59,970 --> 00:30:01,954
No.
598
00:30:01,955 --> 00:30:04,173
Not really.
599
00:30:05,592 --> 00:30:07,460
I got you
something.
600
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:11,848
The journal?
601
00:30:11,849 --> 00:30:14,233
It's your family's.
You should have it.
602
00:30:14,234 --> 00:30:15,902
Meredith and
that idiot deputy
603
00:30:15,903 --> 00:30:17,136
were too busy
questioning you
604
00:30:17,137 --> 00:30:18,804
to give a damn
about me.
605
00:30:20,407 --> 00:30:21,640
Sometimes it pays
606
00:30:21,641 --> 00:30:23,359
to be
the only normal one
607
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,827
in a town
of vampires.
608
00:30:25,846 --> 00:30:27,797
Practically invisible.
609
00:30:39,009 --> 00:30:40,009
Are you ok?
610
00:30:40,010 --> 00:30:41,010
Yeah. Yeah.
611
00:30:41,011 --> 00:30:42,328
I'm all right.
612
00:31:17,614 --> 00:31:19,849
They let Ric go.
613
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:22,552
Sheriff Forbes said
she's out of suspects again,
614
00:31:22,553 --> 00:31:25,121
but Ric is in the clear.
615
00:31:30,544 --> 00:31:33,546
I know it may not
seem like it, but...
616
00:31:33,547 --> 00:31:35,965
You did really well
tonight.
617
00:31:38,135 --> 00:31:39,652
I mean,
before you know it,
618
00:31:39,653 --> 00:31:41,621
you're gonna be
the king of moderation.
619
00:31:44,575 --> 00:31:45,708
Elena will understand.
620
00:31:45,709 --> 00:31:47,827
Doesn't really matter
what Elena thinks.
621
00:31:47,828 --> 00:31:49,328
Uh-uh. None of that.
622
00:31:50,497 --> 00:31:52,731
No more
no humanity Stefan.
623
00:31:52,732 --> 00:31:55,251
There's a road
called recovery,
624
00:31:55,252 --> 00:31:56,953
and we are on it.
625
00:31:58,255 --> 00:32:00,590
Why do you even care,
huh?
626
00:32:00,591 --> 00:32:02,625
The whole
brother-bonding thing,
627
00:32:02,626 --> 00:32:04,594
getting Elena
to hate you.
628
00:32:04,595 --> 00:32:07,463
Why, you feel guilty because you
kissed her? Is that it, Damon?
629
00:32:07,464 --> 00:32:09,665
Because you can stop.
Go back to hating me.
630
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:11,000
It was a lot easier.
631
00:32:11,001 --> 00:32:12,685
Can you for one minute
actually believe
632
00:32:12,686 --> 00:32:14,103
that I'm trying
to help you?
633
00:32:14,104 --> 00:32:16,189
I don't need your help.
634
00:32:16,190 --> 00:32:17,607
Don't need my...
635
00:32:18,442 --> 00:32:20,426
Are you kidding me?
636
00:32:20,427 --> 00:32:22,895
Do you remember what happened
last time you said that?
637
00:32:22,896 --> 00:32:24,096
What are you talking about?
638
00:32:24,097 --> 00:32:26,532
1912, Stefan,
639
00:32:26,533 --> 00:32:30,236
the last time I convinced
you to drink human blood.
640
00:32:30,237 --> 00:32:31,954
Go ahead, Stefan.
641
00:32:31,955 --> 00:32:33,105
Pick one.
642
00:32:33,106 --> 00:32:34,657
They're people, Damon.
643
00:32:34,658 --> 00:32:36,209
Yes, they are
people, Stefan,
644
00:32:36,210 --> 00:32:38,628
people with blood pumping
through their veins,
645
00:32:38,629 --> 00:32:43,366
waiting to be opened
up and sucked dry.
646
00:32:43,367 --> 00:32:45,951
You've just forgotten
how good it feels.
647
00:32:46,803 --> 00:32:49,839
So had I, but sage,
648
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,724
she reminded me...
649
00:32:51,725 --> 00:32:53,342
It's worth it.
650
00:32:53,343 --> 00:32:54,844
It's all worth it.
651
00:32:59,966 --> 00:33:02,235
Not him, Stefan.
652
00:33:02,236 --> 00:33:04,654
Not him...
653
00:33:06,073 --> 00:33:07,073
Her.
654
00:33:08,325 --> 00:33:10,026
She's the one.
655
00:33:12,145 --> 00:33:13,812
I don't do that
anymore.
656
00:33:13,813 --> 00:33:15,114
But you can, Stefan.
657
00:33:15,115 --> 00:33:17,450
We can.
658
00:33:17,451 --> 00:33:20,086
Let the past
be the past.
659
00:33:21,255 --> 00:33:24,507
Have a drink
with me, brother.
660
00:33:36,486 --> 00:33:39,388
I knew you still
had it in you.
661
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:48,180
Don't be greedy.
662
00:33:52,352 --> 00:33:54,453
Stefan. Stefan.
663
00:34:08,885 --> 00:34:11,203
Oh, my God.
664
00:34:11,204 --> 00:34:12,638
Oh, my God.
665
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:15,224
Help me.
666
00:34:15,225 --> 00:34:16,509
Stefan, stop.
667
00:34:16,510 --> 00:34:17,477
Stefan, stop.
668
00:34:17,478 --> 00:34:18,511
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
669
00:34:18,512 --> 00:34:19,645
Stefan, stop.
670
00:34:19,646 --> 00:34:21,647
What did you do to me?!
671
00:34:21,648 --> 00:34:22,682
Stefan.
672
00:34:22,683 --> 00:34:24,767
What did you do to me?
673
00:34:29,690 --> 00:34:32,408
You just need to learn
when to stop.
674
00:34:32,409 --> 00:34:33,726
I can help you.
675
00:34:33,727 --> 00:34:35,194
I don't need
your help.
676
00:34:37,664 --> 00:34:40,416
The founders council
killer had nothing on you.
677
00:34:40,417 --> 00:34:44,203
By decade's end, they were calling
you the ripper of monterey.
678
00:34:45,355 --> 00:34:48,124
I let you walk away.
679
00:34:51,478 --> 00:34:53,412
I watched you
go over the edge,
680
00:34:53,413 --> 00:34:55,848
and I didn't do
anything to stop you.
681
00:35:00,437 --> 00:35:02,138
You couldn't have.
682
00:35:03,023 --> 00:35:05,057
Sure, I could have.
683
00:35:07,394 --> 00:35:09,595
But I just
didn't want to.
684
00:35:14,918 --> 00:35:16,769
But I want to now.
685
00:35:17,621 --> 00:35:19,155
Whenever you go too far,
686
00:35:19,156 --> 00:35:21,040
I will be there
to pull you back,
687
00:35:21,041 --> 00:35:23,826
every second, every day
688
00:35:23,827 --> 00:35:25,745
till you don't need me.
689
00:35:27,047 --> 00:35:28,497
Why?
690
00:35:32,619 --> 00:35:34,286
'Cause right now...
691
00:35:37,007 --> 00:35:38,924
You're all I got.
692
00:35:55,369 --> 00:35:57,448
Hey, I was gonna
make some coffee.
693
00:35:57,449 --> 00:35:59,083
I'm good.
694
00:35:59,084 --> 00:36:01,659
Gonna head to bed
in a few.
695
00:36:04,155 --> 00:36:06,374
Hey, listen, Elena.
696
00:36:06,375 --> 00:36:10,177
The, uh...
The sheriff told me
697
00:36:10,178 --> 00:36:12,847
about everything
you did today, and...
698
00:36:12,848 --> 00:36:14,632
While I appreciate it,
699
00:36:14,633 --> 00:36:19,136
I don't want you getting in
trouble because of me, ok?
700
00:36:19,137 --> 00:36:22,840
If not for you, for who?
701
00:36:22,841 --> 00:36:24,174
Well, still, I...
702
00:36:24,175 --> 00:36:26,610
I'm the one who's supposed
to look after you,
703
00:36:26,611 --> 00:36:29,847
even if
I suck at it.
704
00:36:29,848 --> 00:36:30,865
Ok, well,
705
00:36:30,866 --> 00:36:32,850
how 'bout we just agree
706
00:36:32,851 --> 00:36:35,569
to take care of
each other, then?
707
00:36:37,122 --> 00:36:39,957
Heh. Deal.
708
00:36:41,192 --> 00:36:42,626
What are you
reading there?
709
00:36:43,695 --> 00:36:44,995
Old family journal.
710
00:36:44,996 --> 00:36:47,214
Any juicy
family secrets?
711
00:36:47,215 --> 00:36:48,699
It's hard to tell.
712
00:36:48,700 --> 00:36:51,752
I mean, at first, I thought it
was Jonathan Gilbert's journal,
713
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:53,971
but it ended up being
his granddaughter's,
714
00:36:53,972 --> 00:36:57,508
who apparently went
just as crazy as he did,
715
00:36:57,509 --> 00:37:01,479
so great genes, huh?
716
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,882
Well, at least you have
something to look forward to.
717
00:37:04,883 --> 00:37:05,983
Good night, Ric.
718
00:37:05,984 --> 00:37:07,935
Night.
719
00:37:16,361 --> 00:37:20,698
So I, uh... I dug into the old
family archives from the early 1900s.
720
00:37:20,699 --> 00:37:22,850
So now you want
to be helpful.
721
00:37:24,903 --> 00:37:27,371
Want me to go back
to being mad at you?
722
00:37:30,625 --> 00:37:31,625
What'd you find?
723
00:37:31,626 --> 00:37:34,244
Well, nothing from 1912.
724
00:37:34,245 --> 00:37:35,930
They never
did arrest anyone
725
00:37:35,931 --> 00:37:37,631
for the founders' murders,
726
00:37:37,632 --> 00:37:41,385
but they did get
a confession 10 years later.
727
00:37:41,386 --> 00:37:43,971
They did? Who?
728
00:37:43,972 --> 00:37:47,391
Jonathan Gilbert's
granddaughter Samantha.
729
00:37:47,392 --> 00:37:48,893
They assumed
she was crazy,
730
00:37:48,894 --> 00:37:51,028
locked her up
in an insane asylum.
731
00:37:51,029 --> 00:37:52,029
Then what?
732
00:37:52,030 --> 00:37:53,464
Trail ends there.
733
00:37:53,465 --> 00:37:54,982
I mean,
she was a founder.
734
00:37:54,983 --> 00:37:57,601
You know they like
to look out for their own.
735
00:37:57,602 --> 00:37:59,269
Samantha Gilbert.
736
00:37:59,270 --> 00:38:02,573
That is very weird.
737
00:38:02,574 --> 00:38:03,791
Why?
738
00:38:03,792 --> 00:38:07,110
Because I'm pretty sure
I had already killed her.
739
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,215
I know what this
looks like.
740
00:38:11,216 --> 00:38:12,533
Yeah? Well,
I sure as hell don't.
741
00:38:12,534 --> 00:38:14,284
You shoot me,
you have me thrown in jail,
742
00:38:14,285 --> 00:38:15,553
and then you
have me freed.
743
00:38:15,554 --> 00:38:16,720
I did it for you, Ric.
744
00:38:16,721 --> 00:38:19,106
I forged the coroner's note
to clear your name.
745
00:38:19,107 --> 00:38:20,841
Oh. You know what?
People are right.
746
00:38:20,842 --> 00:38:22,343
You are psycho.
Yeah...
747
00:38:22,344 --> 00:38:23,894
Now that you've
been cleared,
748
00:38:23,895 --> 00:38:24,895
they'll look
somewhere else.
749
00:38:24,896 --> 00:38:26,230
They won't look
your way again.
750
00:38:27,182 --> 00:38:29,433
Please,
you have no reason,
751
00:38:29,434 --> 00:38:31,802
but I need you
to trust me anyway.
752
00:38:32,637 --> 00:38:35,189
If you let me in,
I can explain.
753
00:38:51,155 --> 00:38:53,791
I don't
feel like myself.
754
00:38:56,461 --> 00:38:58,179
I am losing time...
755
00:38:58,180 --> 00:38:59,830
As though I am going mad.
756
00:39:01,666 --> 00:39:03,984
So you think
Samantha Gilbert's
757
00:39:03,985 --> 00:39:07,104
still alive,
running around Mystic Falls,
758
00:39:07,105 --> 00:39:08,672
killing founders?
759
00:39:08,673 --> 00:39:09,890
It's not possible.
760
00:39:09,891 --> 00:39:12,526
If she became a vampire,
we'd know about it, right?
761
00:39:12,527 --> 00:39:15,896
Well, then she must have had a ring
that brought her back to life.
762
00:39:15,897 --> 00:39:19,033
I mean, she was
a... a Gilbert, right?
763
00:39:19,034 --> 00:39:21,151
Those rings are passed on
through generations.
764
00:39:21,152 --> 00:39:23,353
Yeah, but even if
she had a ring,
765
00:39:23,354 --> 00:39:24,738
she wouldn't
be alive today.
766
00:39:24,739 --> 00:39:26,457
Doesn't protect her
from old age.
767
00:39:26,458 --> 00:39:28,959
Jonathan Gilbert
only made two of those rings.
768
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,962
Jeremy has one of 'em,
and the other is...
769
00:39:33,715 --> 00:39:35,416
Alaric's.
770
00:39:37,385 --> 00:39:39,336
Like the sheriff said,
771
00:39:39,337 --> 00:39:41,305
the victims were killed
with your weapons.
772
00:39:41,306 --> 00:39:43,657
- Why the stake?
- He's not a vampire.
773
00:39:43,658 --> 00:39:45,826
I know.
This was a murder.
774
00:39:45,827 --> 00:39:47,011
Oh, my God. Dad.
775
00:39:47,012 --> 00:39:48,896
Someone drove this
stake through his heart.
776
00:39:48,897 --> 00:39:49,881
It's one of ours.
777
00:39:49,882 --> 00:39:50,981
Yeah,
but I was attacked.
778
00:39:50,982 --> 00:39:52,049
With your own knife,
779
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:53,984
a wound that could
have been self-inflicted.
780
00:39:53,985 --> 00:39:54,935
It's impossible.
781
00:39:54,936 --> 00:39:57,104
I would know if I
were killing people.
782
00:39:57,105 --> 00:39:59,156
Would you? Have you
had any blackouts,
783
00:39:59,157 --> 00:40:01,025
instances of lost time?
784
00:40:02,110 --> 00:40:03,777
Y-you're insane.
785
00:40:03,778 --> 00:40:06,730
No, but I think
you might be.
786
00:40:08,166 --> 00:40:10,868
You wear a ring that lets
you cheat death, Ric.
787
00:40:10,869 --> 00:40:13,837
How many times can you
die before it changes you?
788
00:40:20,211 --> 00:40:21,578
I think you're sick,
789
00:40:21,579 --> 00:40:23,580
and I want to help you.
790
00:40:23,581 --> 00:40:26,267
This has happened before
791
00:40:26,268 --> 00:40:27,718
almost 100 years ago.
792
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:33,090
Elena.
793
00:40:36,978 --> 00:40:38,812
Ric, I think she's right.
794
00:40:55,713 --> 00:41:00,137
