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.
Some search for a cure... Aah!
No matter what the consequences.
Uh!
Others plot a revolution.
Do you want to be free? We have to work together.
And some try to walk away.
Elena's sired to Damon.
You don't think I'm going to be able to do what I need to
when I have to tell Elena to stay away from me.
I know what you're about to do.
Please, don't do this to me.
I'm not the good guy, remember?
I'm the selfish one.
But I have to do the right thing by you.

This would be so much more fun if we were naked.
That was your call, not mine.
I was being a gentleman.
You shouldn't have stayed.
I know.
I should have made you leave, sent you packing.
I promised Stefan.
I know.
You're sired to me, Elena,
which means everything that you think you feel
might not even be real.
I know, Damon, but... It feels real.
And I'm not ready to let go of that.
I could make you.
Invoke the sire bond.
So do it.
I told him I would set you free.
Right after I didn't tell him that we slept together.
So, what do you want to do?
I want to throw you back in my bed and never let you leave.
So do it.
[Cell phone ringing]
Saved by the cell phone.
I have to meet Bonnie.
She's teaching Jeremy how not to kill me.
Want to come?

Stefan: Looks like a giant snowflake.
I prefer to think of it
as an expression of post-modernism.
It's my donation to the winter wonderland
charity event.
You said it was urgent?
Yes. Take this to the mystic grill immediately.
You want me to be a delivery guy?
What I want is for you to do whatever I say,
without the attitude.
Be careful with that.
It's still wet.
Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, you know.
What is the point of my hybrids being sired to me
if I can't maximize on the benefits of free labor?
What are you doing here?
Elena is sired to Damon.
I intuited as much.
Which means I need to find the cure now more than ever,
and here you are making post-modern snowflakes.
I've delivered.
I retrieved the hunter's sword from Italy,
which we'll use to decipher the map
hidden in the hunter's mark.
You're the one who's supposed to deliver the hunter
and his mark.
Well, Jeremy is the hunter,
and he has to keep killing vampires to complete his mark,
but we can't quite figure out how
to keep him from killing us.
Sounds like quite the chore,
which is why I feel perfectly justified
in doing a little charity work.
Or maybe you're lying about having found the sword.
Why would I lie to you, Stefan?
We're in this together.
The hilt acts as a cypher
which we'll use to decode the marks
on Jeremy's tattoo when he's killed enough vampires
to complete it.
I heard you moved out of your house.
Bit of a martyr move, hmm?
I'm not here to bond, Klaus.
Oh, on the contrary,
I think right now I'm the best friend you've got.
Adrian: I'm sick of taking his crap.
I should rip his throat off,
see if he can boss us around without a larynx.
You won't have to take it much longer.
You keep saying that, but here we are, hiding,
plotting a revolution that's never gonna happen.
Never say never.
And never say I don't pull through.
I found the witch that's gonna save your lives.
Are you serious?
We promised you guys we'd free you from Klaus.
You did your part by breaking your sire bond.
Now Hayley and I are going to do ours.
You're going to do what?
Hayley found a witch strong enough to do
the body-jump spell...
You know, the Klaus specialty.
So you're going to put him in someone else's body,
and then what?
We'll encase the body in concrete, then bury it.
Why not just desiccate him like Bonnie did?
Because to do that spell,
you have to stop a human heart.
I was a little short of volunteers.
Well, who was dumb enough to volunteer their body
to be a Klaus sublet?
Ok, don't freak out.
Freak out?
I'm about to hemorrhage. You volunteered?
It's not forever, just long enough
for the hybrids to be able to completely disappear.
I can think of better ways for us to spend our senior year
than you buried in concrete, Tyler.
This started with me.
This has to end with me.
I need your support.
Jeremy?
They shouldn't be here.
They're here to help you.
Do you trust me?
Yeah.
Yeah, I trust you.
Let's go inside.
What the hell is Professor Shadypants doing here?
I invited him.
Hey, listen. We are ready to get started,
but before we can do that, we need her...
In here.
This is your house now, Jer.
You have to invite me in.
Go ahead, Jeremy. Invite her in.
You can come in.
[Cell phone rings]
Hey. Sorry. I know I'm late.
If I'm gonna be a friend in your time of need,
then you need to work on your punctuality.
I'm in a crisis. Where are you?
I'm at my house. Why? What's wrong?
My boyfriend is a dumb-ass martyr.
And why are you at your house?
Aren't you trying to keep your distance
from Elena?
Well, she's not here anymore.
Damon took Jeremy to the Gilbert lake house with Bonnie,
so I guess her house is safe for her again.
Hey, listen, I got Klaus to tell me
a little bit more about this hunter's sword.
You know that map in Jeremy's tattoo?
The sword decodes it.
It's literally the key to finding the cure.
Klaus told you this?
Yeah. Why?
And did he happen to hand over the sword for safekeeping?
Uh, what do you think?
[Sigh]
What's wrong?
We need to get our hands on that sword, like, today.
Tyler and his hybrids
are taking out Klaus tonight.
[Music playing]
[Indistinct chatter]
Here to steal tiny Tim's crutches?
Dickens was a dark man.
Klaus: You would have liked him.
Nice snowflake, by the way.
Is my work really that literal?
I'm serious.
There's something...
Lonely about it.
I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
Can I offer you some champagne?
Can't. Too many adult prying eyes.
Don't want to be a high-school cautionary tale
at the next town meeting.
Well, then, it's a good thing
the high-school part is nearly over.
If we're gonna be nice to each other,
then I will need that glass of champagne.
Is that our thing?
We don't have a "thing."
Allow me.
Damon: Well, he's not walking around with it.
Check the rest of the house.
I am. I haven't found anything.
Damon: Try the sock drawer.
People leave the sketchiest stuff in sock drawers.
I'm gonna need real ideas, Damon.
Damon: Here's two: Kill Tyler before he goes to Klaus,
or, since Klaus has suddenly become MVP
in our relay race for the cure,
tell him about the hybrids.
Nobody's killing Tyler.
Hello?
Stefan.
Look, I know it's a touchy subject,
but do you know where Elena is today?
I think she's running around...
Trying to figure out how to deprogram Jeremy.
How'd she take it last night...
You telling her to stay away from you?
Not well.
You ok?
Peachy.
Got to go. Bonnie's enlisted Dr. Evil in her plan,
and I have to thwart him.
All Jeremy feels when he sees a vampire
is a burning desire to kill them.
Even if consciously he doesn't want to,
as in your case, it's his subconscious that's calling the shots.
Bonnie: Persuasion helps reverse your conscious thoughts.
Shane: Think of it as kind of a conditioned response, right?
See vampire, kill vampire.
What I'm doing is creating a kind of middle step.
It's like a detour where his subconscious
learns to recognize you as someone he loves,
someone he wants to protect.
And that gives him a choice.
He can choose to take the detour
instead of the conditioned response.
Ok. Talk to him. He'll listen.
I'm not... Sure what to say.
You chose to do this here at your family's vacation house, right?
So maybe just start by telling him why.
Every holiday, we came here.
This place was family,
and when mom and dad died,
Jenna made us come here,
and we thought it was an awful idea,
but it was like they were here with us.
They would have wanted us to stick together, Jer...
To fight for each other no matter what.
Jeremy, how do you feel about Elena right now?
She ruined our lives. She's not even my real sister.
She's just the reason that everyone I've ever loved has died.
She means nothing to me.
I will kill her, even if that means I die myself.
[Knock]
Did it work?
Hey.
- Did you find the sword? - Nope.
What are we gonna do now?
Klaus is the only shot we have at finding the cure.
We need him. Tyler has to call it off.
Tyler: Well, that's not gonna happen.
You told him?
I've had 12 hybrids sworn to secrecy for a month.
I have Hayley and a witch risking their lives,
and you're blabbing my plan to him?
Look, all I'm asking you for is a little bit of time, ok?
How long? An hour? A day?
Because every minute that goes by
that we don't do this, they're at risk.
You and Klaus already served one of them up
for Jeremy to kill.
I don't owe you anything.
Tyler: I'm taking him out.
I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that.
Caroline: Stephan... I'm sorry, but I can't.
Stefan.
Tyler: Sorry, man, but you don't have a choice.
[Footsteps]
You're not allowed to feel this sorry for yourself
unless you're sitting on a bar stool.
Fortunately, I travel with the bar.
It didn't work.
I shouldn't have put so much hope
into reprogramming someone's mind.
If it were that easy,
then you and I wouldn't be in this situation.
Right?
Last time I was here,
I was so completely in love with Stefan.
Now that's barely a memory.
Is that the sire bond...
Or just that I'm so happy to be here with you?
Maybe there's something else they can try.
Tyler.
Keep them down here until we're ready to bring Klaus in.
Use these if you have to.
Stefan: Come on, Tyler. This is bigger than you.
It's about more than revenge for us.
I know what it's about for you, Stefan.
It's about the cure.
You know what happens to a hybrid
when he's cured of being a vampire?
We go back to being werewolves,
turning on every full moon.
We could give a rat's ass about the cure.
Tyler, come on.
I needed you on my side, care.
That's all I wanted.
You ok?
Shane wants to try again.
Survey says: Ehhh.
Professor Shane has been dipping into the magical herbs
a little too much if he thinks using a vampire
to suppress the need to kill another one
is going to work on a hunter.
It's like dangling a cheeseburger
in front of someone on a master cleanse.
Just find someone else to attach
your warm and fuzzy detour feelings to.
Gee, I wonder who that could be.
You.
I feel that way about you.
Damon: Well, this isn't awkward at all.
I'll be... anywhere else.
It was good thinking using Bonnie
as Jeremy's emotional touchstone.
Damon is very intuitive.
And Bonnie told me
about your relationship with him.
I don't mean to pry, obviously.
It's... complicated.
Oh.
Elena: Any ideas how to hypnotize me out of it?
You know, in all my world travels,
the one spell that I've never found
is how to break somebody from loving too much.
Trust me, I've looked.
My wife and son died.
I was just... I was trying to figure out a way not to miss them.
[Footsteps]
If your hypno-herbs work,
we should be singing "Kumbaya" around the fire by dinner.
So now tell me why I'm not killing you.
Damon.
I'm serious. Why are you after the vampire cure?
I didn't say I was looking for the cure,
but I can tell you where to find it.
Klaus' sword will tell us where to find it.
The sword will lead you there, sure,
but so can I.
Elena: What? How?
Because I've already been there.
[Music playing]
Instruct the guests to drop their donations
at the gift tree in the grill.
Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me.
There you are.
Quick, a toast before people can can judge us.
What's wrong?
Please say something.
But you'll miss graduation.
Which... I guess is a ridiculous thing to worry about.
I'm their Alpha.
They're looking to me to help them.
You do what you have to do, Tyler.
Don't look so shocked.
I'm trying to channel your father.
He'd be proud of you, you know.
You're a leader of people, just like he was.
Thank you, mom.
It's a rock.
It's not just any rock.
Hmm. So is this that silly little wives' tale
that you told at the occult exhibit?
All right, long story short...
Once upon a time, there was a witch named Silas
who loved a girl and wanted to be with her forever.
So he and his best friend, another witch,
made an immortality spell,
and then Silas' best friend witch got jealous
and killed Silas' girl before he had a chance to make her immortal.
Well, cursed to an eternity without his one true love,
Silas finds a way to reverse the immortality spell,
and then, before he has a chance to take it,
his former friend buries him underground,
leaving him and the cure to rot.
So it's a cure for immortality?
Human blood is the life force of an immortal.
No more immortality,
no more need to feed on blood.
You dig up Silas, and you've got your cure.
Caroline: Oh, this is ridiculous.
We are not hostages.
Sure you are, sweetie.
[Cell phone rings]
Relax.
It's my brother.
What's up?
Don't ask how or why or who,
but I just found the answer to your Tyler problem.
You're kidding.
We don't need the sword.
Shane: This is the mark
of the brotherhood of the five.
Then up the arm, you have the murder
of a girl by a witch.
The symbols in the vines are your map,
which you obviously no longer need.
When this mark is complete,
it will contain the spell that we need
to dig up Silas.
And where did you say he was buried?
Oh, I forgot. You didn't.
You've threatened to kill me, what,
like, 3 times already this week?
The location is how I'm gonna survive your bad moods.
Elena: And what's in it for you?
If not the cure, then what?
I'm in this for Silas, all right?
Up until this point, he's only been myth.
So write a thesis.
Would you rather be the guy who writes about Noah's ark
or the one who sails it down the Hudson river?
I'm not buying it.
You don't have to buy anything.
Shane: You just have to believe
that I can fix your brother,
and when his hunter's mark is complete,
I'm gonna take you to the cure.
How the hell did you even get out?
I got out because even your idiot hybrids
recognized the stupidity
of your Alpha hybrid martyr plan.
I'm not going to fight with you anymore, Caroline.
Oh, we're gonna do plenty of fighting,
the second that you shove Klaus
into someone else's body.
We've been through this. I don't have anyone else's body.
Yeah? Well, I do.
What? Who?
Klaus' sister Rebekah.
She's got a dagger in her.
Stefan's been hiding her coffin in the tunnels.
We dump Klaus into her body and bury her.
We just killed two original birds with one stone.
It's too late to change the plans.
Call Bonnie.
Make sure it'll work.
Tyler.
It's a brilliant plan, Hayley.
You're a genius. I love you.
Ha!
Mmm. I love you, even when I hate you.
I got to go find my mom,
let her know I might actually graduate.
How's it going?
I think we're making progress.
[Cell phone rings]
Caroline, hey.
Bonnie, I need you to think fast.
I know that the daggers don't work on Klaus,
but what if we put his essence into Rebekah?
It'll work, right? Say it'll work.
Bonnie: Slow down. Slow down. What's happening?
Just come on, Bonnie. Will it work?
Yeah. I don't see why not.
Caroline: Oh. Bonnie Bennett, I love you.
Bonnie: Do you need my help?
I can leave Elena here with Jeremy.
Elena? She's there, too?
Yeah. She came with Damon.
Who's being slightly less horrible than usual.
You know what? I can't deal with this right now.
[Beep]
She said it would work.
I gathered. Congratulations.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Jer and I
should take these decorations home with us.
We could use the holiday cheer.
Look at you... suddenly Polly optimist.
I think Shane's gonna get us through this.
I trust him.
Which you clearly don't.
Maybe because I think he blew up 12 people at the Young farm.
What?
A little tip, Professor:
I heard you before you even took your first step.
I see we're back to the false accusation part of our relationship.
What is he talking about?
Da... ha. Damon discovered that I was in contact
with pastor Young prior to the explosion at the Young farm.
The pastor was severely depressed.
He had lost his wife to cancer,
and he sought me out for a little supernatural assistance.
I tried to help, but he was too far gone.
It's just I never expected that he'd take 11 innocents with him.
Jeremy: Elena.
It's ok.
I think we've got this.
Bonnie: Elena, don't move, ok?
No matter what.
Jeremy, remember the detour.
Choose the right path.
[Cell phone buzzes]
[No audio]
[Music playing]
She doesn't like me much.
Where have you been all day?
I've been around.
I'm not interested in vagaries, Stefan.
You've been dodgy and Caroline's been lovely,
which I've come to recognize as a tool of distraction.
Now do you have something to share with me,
or should I compel it out of you?
I broke into your safe to look for the sword.
Why?
Because I don't trust you.
I showed you the sword.
I explained its value.
I've been on your side the entire time.
What do you want from me...
A secret brotherhood handshake?
I found the letters.
You have a few pen pals over the centuries?
Well, is keeping my victims' letters really so different
from writing their names on a wall,
like you did, ripper?
Loneliness, Stefan.
That's why you and I memorialize our dead.
There's the briefest of moments before we kill
where we literally hold their life in our hands,
and then we rip it away,
and we're left with nothing.
So gathering other people's letters
or writing their names on a wall...
It's a reminder...
That in the end we're left infinitely
and utterly alone.
Oh. Sorry.
Oh. Hello? Are you ok?
Um...
Oh, my gosh! Caroline!
Oh! Somebody help! Help!
Holy crap!
Have you seen Hayley?
[Beep]
You didn't have a pulse.
You were dead.
Stefan, it's me.
That little werewolf slut has lost her mind.
Go to the Lockwood cellar and make sure
that Rebekah body is still there.
I'm gonna find Tyler.
Hayley is trying to screw this up.
[Beep]
Forget everything you just saw and heard.
You are miss Mystic Falls,
and you have duties to fulfill.
Ok.
There you are.
Stefan has been looking for you.
Adrian's leading Klaus to the cellar.
How come the only time April Young
isn't following you around like a lost puppy
is when I'm lying dead with a broken neck?
April saw you?
Yeah. It's ok. I compelled her.
She's... she's wearing Jeremy's vervain bracelet.
She can't be compelled.
Tyler: Hey, mom. I don't see you.
Things have changed. It's gonna be fine.
I'll be back later. I'll pick you up.
What are you doing here?
You're supposed to be taking the witch to the cellar.
There is no witch, Tyler.
What?
I made it up.
Kimberley: Where the hell is the witch?
Adrian should be here any minute.
[Whoosh]
Kim.
Uh!
No!
I never intended for you to put Klaus down.
I needed him for the sacrifice.
What?
I don't know how to explain it,
but I made a deal with someone
who can help me find my family.
What are you talking about? What kind of deal?
There needed to be 12 for the sacrifice, Tyler.
12 what?
I'm sorry.
Hayley, what did you do?
If you run now, you might make it out alive.
[Music playing]
Where is Tyler Lockwood?
You'd do well to answer me, love.
Where is he?!
I don't know.
Wrong answer.
[Knife slices]
[Music playing]
Check this out.
Jenna used that to make out with Logan fell.
All the drama, and you're missing the actual fun part.
Elena, we can't. I can't.
Damon, you can't keep telling me that this isn't real.
I know how I feel and that you feel it, too,
so stop fighting it.
It's good to see you like that...
All normal with your brother.
I want that again for you.
Christmas was always mine and Stefan's favorite holiday
when we were kids, not that I've celebrated since.
I kind of miss that.
You're thinking about how upset he'll be
when he finds out that you and I are together.
I've been lying to him all day.
No. You were helping me with Jeremy.
The point is not what I was doing.
The point is that I'm here with you.
I was supposed to invoke the sire bond, Elena,
send you away.
I was supposed to do the right thing by you
and the right thing by my brother.
Which is what I'm gonna do right now.
You're gonna go home.
What? No. Damon...
I'm gonna stay here with Jeremy.
I'm gonna help him complete the mark.
I'll teach him how to hunt.
I'll protect him, and we'll kill vampires
without you.
Damon, please.
I'm setting you free, Elena.
This is what I want.
This is what will make me happy.
I can't find April. I can't reach Tyler.
This is a disaster.
Is this you in crisis mode?
Because it's a lot more stealth than mine.
I thought I'd be happier
watching Klaus get led away to the slaughter,
but for some reason, I can't help but feel kind of...
Guilty.
Yeah. You and me both.
All day I've been trying to remind myself
of all the horrible things he's done.
See, that's the thing.
We've all done horrible things.
And I'm sitting here trying to figure out
what makes us any better than him.
And I think it's just that we have family we can trust.
Yeah.
You're right, Stefan.
Trust is everything.
Have you heard from Damon?
Yeah. He's still with Jeremy at the lake house.
Did he happen to mention... Where Elena was?
Wait. Why are you... why are you asking me this?
They're together, aren't they?
How together are they?
Caroline, tell me.
How together are they?
[Music playing]
Thank you.
I was ready to fight you on this,
but suddenly every part of my body
is telling me that I need to get in this car
and leave you.
So do it.
[Music playing]
Tyler, honey, you're supposed to be in my sober cab.
I think I drank half the party.
Good evening, Carol.
If you're looking for Tyler,
I'd like a little word with him myself.
Klaus, please.
Don't hurt him.
He's my son.
He's all I have.
And you're all he has.
There's a beautiful symmetry to that, don't you think?
Aah!
