The Vampire Diaries

My name is Elena Gilbert, and I'm a vampire.

I'm learning how to survive, but there are complications.

I know that I'm sired to you, Damon.

You know what would make me happy?

That what you actually felt for me was real.

How together are they?

But there's hope now.

Tell him what the hunter told you the tattoo leads to.

He said there was a cure.

And we're not the only ones who want it...

I want to ram it down Niklaus' throat.

But uncovering it comes with a price.

What do you know about Silas?

He's the world's first immortal being,

who just happens to be imprisoned with the cure.

You said it yourself, right?

Whoever finds the cure first gets to decide

what to do with it.

So what do you say, partners?

The race for the cure has begun,

but how far will we have to go to find it?

I was beginning to worry you boys wouldn't find the place.

Did you kill all these people?

Killing them is your job.

Unh!

Agh!

No way. I'm not doing it.

What makes you think you have a choice?

You have to kill vampires to complete the hunter's mark.

Mark equals cure.

You're in a bar full of almost vampires,

so get your hunt on.

Screw you. You said I wouldn't have to kill

any innocent people.

Jeremy, they're not people.

Enough! Have at it, or else.

I don't take orders from you, dick.

Hunters can't be compelled.

You're right. I can't compel you,

but if your conscience is getting in the way,

then allow me to make this easy for you

because I can compel them.

I'm gonna give you a two-minute head start.

Then I'm gonna send every vampire in here after you.

You kill them, or they kill your friend... Matt.

Wait a second.

No, no. You turn them, he kills them.

That was the deal, Klaus.

I'm taking artistic license.

You know he can't take them all on at the same time.

With you as his coach, he'll be fine.

It's Matt I'm worried about.

Ehh.

Jeremy, go get the weapons out of the car.

I'll be right behind you.

Go with him.

If I hear an engine start,

I'll kill Matt myself!

Are you ok?

Yeah. I just need a second.

We don't have a second.

They can smell your blood. We need to go.

Don't hesitate. You're lucky it was me.

Otherwise, you two would be dead.

You set us up.

I'm was trying to get this thing over with.

You're the one that pissed off Klaus.

Now you have to fight your way out of it.

Where are the other vampires?

They're newbies. They're still trying to figure out how to track,

which means you have two seconds to get ready to fight.

The lake house is this way.

If we can get there, they won't be able to get inside.

Wait. You want to run?

They're gonna kill Matt.

Fine. Get out of here. I'll slow them down.

Jeremy, where are you?

Keep going. We're almost there.

Are you ok?

Oh, my God.

Get to the house! Hurry!

Jeremy, what's going on?

They're coming.

Sun's up.

They're long gone.

What the hell were you thinking?

All I asked you to do was to teach him how to fight.

He's not the best student in the world.

Wait. Now this is my fault?

Stop talking.

Look. I know you're angry,

but my way was the easiest, fastest,

and safest way to complete his mark

to get you the cure.

I don't care about the cure, Damon,

not if it means putting the people that I love in danger.

Hey. There would have been no danger

if he hadn't gone all bleeding heart.

He killed someone.

These were innocent people.

But the mark grew, didn't it?

Ok. Look. We need a plan.

There's a group of compelled vampires out there,

and as soon as the sun goes down,

they're gonna come after Matt,

so we have to find a away to protect him.

Yes, I know, but there will be no problem

when big Jer and I here go on a hunting expedition.

Elena, I know it's tragic, I get it,

but we also agree that he had to kill them.

Now we have added incentive,

so you take the least most valuable player home,

and Jeremy and I will finish this.

I'm sorry. Are you saying that I should

leave him here with you?

Trust me.

I will keep him safe, ok?

Ahem. I know you were, uh, daggered for a little while,

but, uh, knocking is still a thing.

So is writing in your diary apparently.

I'm just checking for doubts.

You can never be too cautious when it comes to love.

One minute, you're begging me

to compel Elena from your mind,

and the next, I'm up coffin creek

with a dagger in my back.

Right. Well, you can read it all you want.

I'm done with her.

Until we find the cure, right?

Hey. I'm talking to you.

Oh, I know you are. I'm ignoring you.

Look. We're at a bit of a disadvantage

in this whole race for the cure.

Team Klaus has Jeremy the hunter,

team Shane has Bonnie the witch.

If you're here to remind me of our last place status,

I'm very well aware.

Actually I have a plan.

The cure is buried with Silas,

that ancient evil guy my brother Kol is afraid of.

Shane was so eager to prove his existence

that he gave away that he has on of the keys to resurrecting him,

his headstone.

I see. You want to steal it.

Yes. And then team Shane will have to join team Rebekah,

and team Klaus will be left out in the cold

where he belongs.

You know, just because your eyes are closed

doesn't mean you're meditating.

Come on. Use your breath.

Use your breath to calm your nerves.

Great.

So now I can't even meditate right?

What else can I fail?

Bonnie, you didn't fail.

I did an expression spell that almost killed April.

Exactly. Almost.

Failing would have been actually killing her.

You got, like, a d-minus.

It's not funny.

I have all this power now, and I'm worried

I won't be able to control it.

Bonnie, look at me.

I'm here with you.

You don't have anything to worry about.

You are strong, you are focused.

You are in complete control.

You're here with me.

I'm in complete control.

Sheriff?

Bonnie, I'm gonna need you to go.

What the hell are you doing?

We need to ask you a few questions.

Are you serious? I'm sure I can answer

without the handcuffs.

Come on. This isn't even your jurisdiction.

Well, then I guess we better get you to Mystic Falls asap.

Wait. Why are you doing this?

That's something you should ask your dad.

You really think they went back to the bar?

Where else are they gonna go?

It's all cabins and vacation homes.

They can't get in anywhere.

All right. There you go.

Fine. Let's get this over with.

Listen. Just go one at a time,

only shoot for the heart,

don't hesitate,

and don't miss.

Save the teaching moment.

Elena's not here.

You don't have to pretend like you give a damn about me.

I'm trying to keep you alive, dumbass.

Come on.

Something's not right.

Ahh.

Looks like we're gonna have to find some new vampires.

What a waste.

What the hell happened?

I confess.
