The first 198 lines.
Previously on "The Originals"...
She is exquisite.
As her brother is wicked.
The lord Tristan and his sister the lady Aurora.
Right now, people like me are out there getting killed
by people like you,
conveniently timed with the arrival
of your old acquaintance.
- What happened? - I was attacked.
Kara, do not walk away from me.
But I'm regent. They should respect me.
The target on your back, it comes with the job.
You got to respond with a show of force.
What are you doing to us?
The Crescent curse. Now you will be trapped in wolf form.
You're trespassing.
This whole area is now property of kingmaker land development.
My team and I are animal control.
Hayley!
Hayley!
Hayley!
Where is she?
Where the hell is Hayley?
Davina, let me out of here right now,
or I swear I will kill you.
You can try,
or we could have a polite conversation.
You magically kidnapped me
on the one night that I can see my daughter.
Do not talk to me about polite.
I drew you here to help you.
Elijah asked you months ago to break the curse,
and you said no.
The regent of witches can't be seen doing
favors for the Mikaelsons,
but maybe we can help each other.
Look. I have access to the witch ancestors.
I can channel the power of the one who created
the spell used to curse you.
You can be free, Hayley.
Under your terms, I'm guessing.
Spill.
There's a witch in the ninth ward
who hates that I'm regent.
She tried to kill me.
If I retaliate, I'm starting a civil war,
and I don't want to do that.
Fine.
Just tell me who you want dead.
ugh.
Ergh! Unh.
Take my blood.
I'm good.
We need to find Hayley.
There's still no sign of her.
I've seen the bodies.
Hunters set up traps all over the bayou
and mowed us all down with gunfire.
Any wolf that wasn't taken out scattered.
Elijah, how many bodies?
A trap wouldn't hold Hayley after she turned back.
Nothing would stop her from seeing that little girl.
Something's wrong.
Where are you going?
I'm taking my niece home.
Then I'll continue the search.
You stay here, you tend to your dead.
No, no. Look. I got 5 hours
until I'm a wolf again.
Elijah, she's my wife.
Need a break from family drama?
Thank you.
You see, I've been trying to get my brothers
to mend fences, but Elijah remains bitter,
and Klaus remains obstinate,
thus tequila!
Thing is, it's almost midnight.
Well, I'm not wearing glass slippers.
Do you have to turn the best club in town
into your personal blood bank?
We feed on tourists, compel them to forget,
locals turn a blind eye.
That's how Nola works,
has been for a long time,
so unless you want to become an appetizer...
- I'll pass. - Good.
This one's coming with me.
Listen to the advice of your superiors,
then do better.
Study the weaknesses of those who outrank you
and eliminate them from your own experience.
Authority is meant to be challenged.
Great achievers refuse to stand in shadows.
I need you to delete that.
Freedom of the press, officer.
It's detective. How about a little decency?
That kid's got a family.
I'm not instagramming it. I'm with the "sentinel."
Would you care to comment on all the rumors...
Behind the tape, please.
I thought I smelled swamp.
What'd you do with Hayley?
Tell me what you know.
Has Jackson misplaced his bride?
Come to think about it, I did read
that global warming has disrupted migration patterns.
Try Georgia.
I just left the bodies of people
I care about to rot in the woods
because you left them defenseless against poachers
sent by kingmaker land development.
That ring a bell?
Yeah. The CEO is Lucien Castle.
Elijah tells me that you two go way back.
So I will ask you once again...
What do you know?
As it happens, I just came back.
From a romp with our good friend Lucien.
You can find him in the penthouse
of the gawdy new construction on canal,
and while you two are catching up,
be sure to ask him about the prophetic vision
he show me of our family's spectacular downfall.
You could use a good laugh.
Stay here.
Niklaus and I will deal with this.
Actually, as long as Hayley is prowling about
on two legs and unaccounted for,
I am staying with my daughter,
and should I discover that this is yet
another cockeyed scheme
for Hayley and you to abscond with her...
The paltry remains of your beloved wolf pack
will be sniffing at your entrails come morning.
This doesn't frighten you, brother,
but one day, your daughter will know
exactly the kind of man that her father is.
If anything should happen to Hayley,
you mark my words, no one will have to take hope from you.
She will without question leave you of her own accord.
You're completely cloth.
No magic will be able to track you.
The witch's name is Kara Nguyen.
She runs the Café Chim Lac in the Lower Ninth Ward.
She'll be there before done.
As long as the candle burns,
your curse won't be active.
And when a strong wind comes along?
My magic will protect the flame.
Of course, you'll have to work with me.
- Err. - Unh!
I'm doing this for my pack.
If I turn into a wolf tonight before seeing my daughter,
I will come for you, Davina,
and I will tear you apart.
When the sun comes up tomorrow and you're still you,
you'll owe me an apology.
Heh.
Unh!
You have two hours.
Get it done.
Freya, I'm aware that 21st century technology remains a mystery to you,
but when you see my name pop up on your phone,
you answer it.
Come home immediately.
Mere hours after you lecture me about boundaries,
and here you are at my house
in the middle of the night.
I came through the front door.
You appeared through the window like a creeper.
Besides, this is a matter of life and death.
Oh, how novel.
Call it a hunch, but I think your friend Lucien
is torturing and killing humans in the quarter.
There have been two victims so far,
but I've constructed a psychological profile
of the killer, and I don't think it's going to end there.
Lucien would never be so sloppy.
Although I admit there is a familiar method
to this particular madness.
You want to prove to me you're turning over a new leaf?
Make sure this latest victim is the last one.
Heh. Are you suggesting I prove my redeemability
by killing my oldest friend?
Such irony.
Look. Nola pd can't take down
a thousand-year-old psycho with vampire powers,
but you can.
You're the smartest and the strongest
and the scariest, so make him stop.
Elijah, what a glorious pleasure.
I do apologize for the hour.
Eh, it's no matter.
I've long been nostalgic for the days
when vampires conducted business in the dark.
It's a boundary spell.
No vampire from another sire line can enter
without an invitation...
