The Vampire Diaries

Stefan: Mystic Falls... I was born here.

This is my home.

Damon: And mine. Elena: And mine.

For centuries, supernatural creatures have lived among us.

Caroline: They were vampires, werewolves, doppelgangers...

Bonnie: Witches. Klaus: And even hybrids.

She needs human blood, Stefan... from the vein.

If she kills someone, she will crumble.

Shouldn't you be in mystic falls killing vampires?

Anybody gets in my way, they're dead.

Do I have your attention?

Then let's talk about vampires.

Run as fast as you can.

Why are you protecting him?!

Klaus will kill anyone who knows!

Connor's tattoo is the key to a cure for Elena.

Stay the hell away from my brother!

You said you were going to protect Jeremy!

I killed someone.

Can't sleep?

You know...

It makes sense.

Guilty conscience.

You're not here. I'm...

I've got to be dreaming.

Then how do you know that I'm not here?

Because you're...

Go on. Say it.

Because you're dead.

Yes. I am.

Was that the first time that you've taken a human life?

You're a ghost.

It's got to be... You're a ghost.

That's... that's what's happening right now.

Je... Jeremy.

Jeremy!

You're a ghost.

You're haunting me. You're a ghost.

You're haunting me. Can a ghost do this?

Oh, my God!

Oh! Jer! Jer!

Jer! Jer! No, no, no!

No!

No. No, Jer!

Jeremy!

I can't believe this happened.

What... what am I going to say to him?

Thanks for not ditching the family ring

after it drove Ric crazy?

You should have called Stefan.

I don't want to talk to him.

He's been lying to me, and hiding things from me.

He compelled Jeremy to forget God knows what.

In all fairness, I mean,

I think you killing him kind of trumps that.

I mean, you should have called Stefan.

I don't trust him right now, Damon.

Hey.

P.S.... I called Stefan.

What happened? Why didn't you call me?

I just... I need to go upstairs and shower.

Clean all the blood off my hands.

Welcome back. How you feeling?

What happened?

Long story. Buy the e-book.

Elena?

Hey.

Listen, I know you're still upset about yesterday,

and I get it. Believe me. But just... let me help you.

I don't want your help right now, Stefan.

But you'll accept Damon's?

Don't make this about Damon!

You've been working with Klaus doing

God knows what, and don't insult me by trying to deny it.

Listen, it's not what you think, ok?

I don't know what to think.

But I do know that I don't want to talk to you

and I don't really want to be around you right now.

- Look, please, just... - No.

This is my brother's blood on my hands, Stefan.

I stabbed him in the neck last night,

so forgive me if I'm not in the mood to listen you

try to talk your way out of this.

You're still going?

I drank enough last night.

And then I slept, which is what you guys should have done.

We're just paying our respects to Dean.

That's great, Chris, but would you pay them at a bar instead?

Don't be mad.

We're celebrating our fallen hybrid friend.

Well, don't let me interrupt.

I didn't know you were here.

Clearly.

Mmm.

Thought I'd just pop 'round

to celebrate Dean's successful retrieval

of the vampire hunter.

Yet when I arrived,

I learned that not only was Dean unsuccessful,

but that Elena killed the hunter.

Well, maybe if you had let Dean use force on Connor

instead of sending him in on a suicide mission...

Maybe you should mind your business, wolf girl.

What do you care if Connor's dead, anyway?

I have my reasons.

They have ceased to matter.

Cheers.

Brought your stuff. Old laptop, your Jersey,

the charm bracelet.

Car...

- This isn't a good time. - Just take it.

Caroline.

By the break-up drama unfolding before me, I assume you've met Haley.

All right, come on, let's go. Let's leave them alone.

- Your talents are needed elsewhere. - For what?

I think you've got more important things to deal with, mate.

- Do you think he bought it? - Hell, I bought it.

Thanks for the head's up that he was here, Haley.

You girls are good liars.

Where'd Jeremy go?

School. Bonnie has him volunteering for some occult exhibit.

Or maybe he didn't want to linger in a house

where his sister just jammed a knife in his neck.

It's Klaus.

Ooh, time to face the music,

pay the piper, dance with the devil.

You know, I'm glad you find this amusing.

If he finds out I told you about the cure, he'll kill both of us.

Quit avoiding him. You're being shady.

Shady people get outed.

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, I can't imagine why, what with you ruining

all my plans for a hybrid-filled future.

Well, it wouldn't happened if you hadn't sworn me to secrecy.

Life's full of ifs, Stefan.

Let's extenuate the positives, shall we?

The hunter was one of five. We'll find another.

It may take centuries, but we've got nothing but time, right?

You're using your calm voice today. Who's getting killed?

Not you, if that's what you're worried about.

But I am concerned about your beloved.

Have the hallucinations started yet?

What do you know about that?

I'll tell you. Where you are?

I'm at her house. How convenient.

So am I.

You know, this would all be a lot more civilized

if I was just invited inside.

Bad enough I'm out here talking to you.

What do you know?

I killed the Original five hunters, remember?

When one kills a hunter,

there's a bit of a consequence.

What kind of consequence?

Hunters were spelled by witches to kill vampires.

If you prevent one from fulfilling his destiny,

then he'll take you down with him.

What do you mean? Connor's dead.

I mean, Connor's death won't prevent him

from making Elena his final vampire kill.

She'll need to come with me now.

I'll lock her up;

keep her away from any sharp, wooden objects.

She's not going anywhere with you.

But if we leave her alone,

she'll take her own life before the day is out.

- She's stronger than that. - Is she?

Believe me, it's for her own good.

Would you like some?

You seem to enjoy it when you drink from me.

I wasn't myself.

I was angry.

Were you yourself when you snapped my neck

- with your bare hands? - You staked me!

'Cause you're a monster and you deserve to die.

- Admit it. - No!

Damon...

Decomposition starts in the first 24 hours.

I'm rotting in an unmarked grave because of you.

- No! - What's wrong?

Elena!

Elena!

Hey, do you see anything on my hand?

What if I told you I saw the beginning of a mark like Connor's?

Are you serious?

It showed up after he died.

He told me that I was a potential;

that that's why I could see his mark.

So what does that make you, like the next chosen one

or something? April: Hey, guys.

Hey, April.

Way to let her do the heavy lifting.

I found her wandering the hallways with this.

Just teasing. I'm the guy who wrangles all the freaky stuff,

Atticus Shane. Please, call me Shane, I beg you.

Thank you guys for helping, I really appreciate it.

Y'all get free admission to my free exhibit.

Why does he look so familiar?

No idea.
