The Originals

Previously on "The Originals"...

If this prophecy is fulfilled,

you will all fall...

One by friend, one by foe,

and one by family.

- I'll find you. - You won't.

There are things lurking in the shadows,

and in the face of these, you are nothing.

The serratura.

My brother and Lucien want to use it

to lock you and your siblings away forever.

Which is why they sent a legion of Strix to collect my sister.

I decided to put her someplace safe...

At the bottom of the ocean.

Records show the very night our sister was taken.

All we need to do is match the path.

With the latitude I plucked from Aurora.

You presume to know me?

I will end you for what you did to Camille.

Tonight, I'd like you to stay here,

where I can protect you.

Rebekah, voice-over: Marcel once asked me what it feels like

being daggered.

I told him it's like a deep, dreamless sleep,

but this is no ordinary dagger.

This stake ensures I feel everything...

The aching cold,

the suffocating darkness,

the burn of my veins crying out for blood,

and the long agony of waiting.

Right where he said it would be.

Open it.

This Mr. Elijah Smith

paid big money to have this dredged out of the gulf.

What's ever in it,

it's got to be worth a fortune.

I say we renegotiate.

I'm afraid that. Was my final offer.

Aah!

Hello, sister.

Tell me I didn't miss Christmas.

Do they, like, pay you?

Handsomely and with a generous Christmas bonus.

Isn't that right?

So you just compel her to nod and agree with whatever you say?

I compel her to feed me

and to hang the occasional Christmas ornament.

She can say whatever the hell she wants.

You seem better.

Yeah. Thank you for letting me stay here

for the past couple days

and giving me space to not talk. Heh.

Why didn't you go with Elijah to help Rebekah?

I hope it's not to stay and baby-sit me.

It's not a good idea for he and I to spend

hours together in confined spaces,

given that the prophecy foretells

one family member felling another.

You don't think he would hurt you?

I don't know what to think...

And that damn fortune teller's predictions continue

to unfold despite all our efforts.

It's Vincent. I have to go.

Taking over my bar.

You don't really strike me as a jazz fan.

You're a Strix now, Marcel.

What's yours is our and vice versa.

You should be grateful.

You need my help, as I imagine

the Mikaelsons still want your head.

This venue is brilliant.

A neutral space where magic is useless.

It should do nicely, at least until I install

a suitable regent to Shepherd

the local witches.

Well, that might take a while.

See, the last regent was shunned

and the one before that murdered.

No one's really eager to step up.

As a member of this organization,

you should know that we do not wait for men to step up.

We step them up.

Ok. So we install an Ally as regent.

Good plan if you can find a witch

willing to do your bidding.

In fact, I have a candidate...

Young, malleable.

His name is Van Nguyen.

It seems someone killed his mother.

As it is Christmas and I am, despite reputation,

a charitable man, I made an offer.

He'll use his powers to do as I ask.

You're jumpy.

Maybe that's from being jumped so many times.

Yeah.

I haven't been out since everything.

What's up?

I need fed you to make a house call.

Kinney got fired last week.

- What? - Yeah.

No, but he... He's a good cop.

Yeah, he was a good cop

until he started having blackouts,

going Mia when he's supposed to be on duty.

I mean, there are gaping holes in his reports,

arrests he can't explain,

missing evidence he can't explain,

and now he's isolating, he's not coming out of the house,

he's not taking my phone calls.

I'll go see him. There has to be something I can say.

Thank you.

I know you needed space, Jack,

but I kind of eventually thought you would come home.

Right. To the apartment Elijah compelled somebody to rent us

and the bedroom that looks in on his library.

- Do you love him? - Jack.

Just tell me the truth for once.

You knew... You knew when you married me.

It's been a year.

I have stood by you, I have fought for you,

I have loved you and you daughter,

and do you know what the worst part is?

Coming out of those woods just now,

seeing you sitting there,

I'll be damned if it wasn't the best thing I had ever seen.

Even when I'm pissed as hell,

I would rather be near you than anywhere else.

Now what kind of fool does that make me?

My feelings for Elijah are complicated...

But that doesn't mean that I love you any less, Jack.

I chose you,

and I choose you again every single day.

Can't that be enough?

It's our first Christmas together.

I've never had a happy one.

I just want a quiet night with you and hope,

our family,

and I don't care if their house is on fire.

For one night, I will let it burn.

Just please, please come home.

Ok.

I'll meet you there.

Ok.

Go on.

How many days has it been?

Please go relax.

I'll be up shortly with your next dose.

No, no.

Let's try to avoid another episode.

No, no. I will not relax

until Niklaus is buried alive.

We need to get back the serratura

and lock them all away in a pit of fire.

It's being taken care of, darling.

Here. The sister has been researching

the medallion since it's been

in the Mikaelsons' possession.

By end of day, we'll have what is ours,

and we'll have taken care of the only witch

willing to protect them.

Ugh.

I think I prefer the bottom the murky sea

to that restroom.

Still hungry, are we?

I'm not hungry, I'm angry...

Staked your ex, drowned by Nik's.

You two need a lesson in women.

Could the lesson not be yours to learn, Rebekah?

Didn't you damn one of them to eternity,

viciously antagonize the other?

Those lunatics actually believe the prophecy.

You don't, do you?

You'd be foolish to ignore

the manifestation of these omens.

We can't be killed, Elijah.

This prophecy does state one of us will fall by family.

Well, I would never harm you,

you killed half the Navy rescuing me,

Freya hates traitors.

Yes. Freya. Let's not forget her allegiance to Finn.

I do want to trust her, but...

So that leaves Nik.

Do you think he's learned his lesson

about backstabbing his family?

Oh, I think he learns that lesson all the time.

He's just a terrible student.

Do you ever want to just rip out his heart

and see how long it takes to grow back?

Unh! Ohh.

What is it?

Marvelous.

What do you get the girl who has everything this Christmas?

A cure to a magical mark growing on her bloody arm.

I'll warn you... I'm armed.

Aah! Aah!

Unh!

Unh!

Agh!

Will, you in there? It's Cami.

I assume you called first.
