- 00:00:02,134 --> 00:00:03,467
- - I'm Sybil.
- - We are talking
- 3
- 00:00:03,492 --> 00:00:05,873
- about a living, breathing siren.
- 4
- 00:00:05,875 --> 00:00:09,257
- Damon is completely devoted to me.
- 5
- 00:00:09,259 --> 00:00:11,993
- This thing, it was delivered
- with your vault inhabitant.
- 6
- 00:00:11,995 --> 00:00:13,128
- I think it was made in hell.
- 7
- 00:00:13,130 --> 00:00:14,096
- It's a tuning fork.
- 8
- 00:00:18,969 --> 00:00:19,968
- Damon, it's over.
- 9
- 00:00:19,970 --> 00:00:21,069
- You're free now.
- 10
- 00:00:21,071 --> 00:00:22,437
- I wish that were the case, Stefan,
- 11
- 00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,573
- but my work with her is
- just getting started.
- 12
- 00:00:24,575 --> 00:00:27,027
- I really hoped that
- when we put Sybil down,
- 13
- 00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:28,971
- it'd break whatever
- control she had over him.
- 14
- 00:00:28,973 --> 00:00:31,646
- But somehow, some way,
- she still has ahold of him.
- 15
- 00:00:31,648 --> 00:00:32,981
- What else is there to do?
- 16
- 00:00:32,983 --> 00:00:35,083
- You still have too many attachments.
- 17
- 00:00:35,085 --> 00:00:37,252
- Too many people willing to fight for you.
- 18
- 00:00:37,254 --> 00:00:38,437
- We should work on that.
- 19
- 00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:39,233
- Lockwood.
- 20
- 00:00:39,235 --> 00:00:40,429
- Damon, wait!
- 21
- 00:00:41,091 --> 00:00:42,718
- Sirens use mind control
- 22
- 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,359
- to lure their victims to their death.
- 23
- 00:00:44,361 --> 00:00:46,396
- Some say they're messengers of the Devil.
- 24
- 00:00:46,398 --> 00:00:49,226
- I suppose every story
- has to start somewhere.
- 25
- 00:00:57,608 --> 00:00:59,241
- Tell me a story.
- 26
- 00:00:59,243 --> 00:01:01,410
- What kind of story?
- 27
- 00:01:02,713 --> 00:01:05,013
- Something happy.
- 28
- 00:01:05,015 --> 00:01:07,315
- A long time ago,
- 29
- 00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:08,817
- in a village
- 30
- 00:01:08,819 --> 00:01:11,153
- built on this very spot,
- 31
- 00:01:11,155 --> 00:01:13,121
- lived a man.
- 32
- 00:01:13,123 --> 00:01:14,823
- Arcadius.
- 33
- 00:01:18,662 --> 00:01:22,631
- Cade, to his friends,
- of which he had many.
- 34
- 00:01:22,633 --> 00:01:25,184
- He was a gentle man,
- 35
- 00:01:25,209 --> 00:01:28,670
- loved and respected.
- 36
- 00:01:32,697 --> 00:01:36,111
- But Cade could do something
- that no one else could:
- 37
- 00:01:36,113 --> 00:01:39,830
- he could see into the minds of others.
- 38
- 00:01:49,393 --> 00:01:50,692
- He was psychic?
- 39
- 00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:53,395
- The first psychic.
- 40
- 00:01:53,397 --> 00:01:58,066
- It was this power that gave him
- so much empathy towards others.
- 41
- 00:01:58,068 --> 00:02:02,871
- And it was this power that
- would cost him his life.
- 42
- 00:02:20,591 --> 00:02:22,891
- The thing you imagine, brother...
- 43
- 00:02:24,061 --> 00:02:26,161
- It is impure.
- 44
- 00:02:26,163 --> 00:02:27,496
- It's forbidden.
- 45
- 00:02:27,498 --> 00:02:30,565
- If you allow me deeper into your mind,
- 46
- 00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:34,069
- perhaps I can help quell your urges.
- 47
- 00:02:34,071 --> 00:02:36,571
- Cade had only wanted to help.
- 48
- 00:02:36,573 --> 00:02:38,073
- But he had overstepped.
- 49
- 00:02:42,913 --> 00:02:46,285
- And the men, fearing his power,
- 50
- 00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:49,417
- turned even Cade's friends against him.
- 51
- 00:02:51,288 --> 00:02:54,389
- And it was then that
- Cade came to know
- 52
- 00:02:54,391 --> 00:02:55,957
- the thing inside men
- 53
- 00:02:55,959 --> 00:02:57,459
- that even his power
- 54
- 00:02:57,461 --> 00:02:59,661
- had not been able to divine:
- 55
- 00:02:59,663 --> 00:03:01,663
- true evil.
- 56
- 00:03:08,906 --> 00:03:12,207
- I asked for a happy story.
- 57
- 00:03:12,209 --> 00:03:14,876
- But it is, dear sister.
- 58
- 00:03:14,878 --> 00:03:18,547
- For in death, Cade was triumphant.
- 59
- 00:03:18,549 --> 00:03:20,415
- From that moment onward,
- 60
- 00:03:20,417 --> 00:03:23,451
- evil men would be forever punished
- 61
- 00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,520
- for their wicked deeds.
- 62
- 00:03:25,522 --> 00:03:27,589
- Cade had his revenge.
- 63
- 00:03:27,591 --> 00:03:29,124
- And someday,
- 64
- 00:03:29,126 --> 00:03:32,460
- so will we.
- 66
- 00:03:56,253 --> 00:03:57,185
- Hey.
- 67
- 00:03:57,187 --> 00:03:58,253
- Hey.
- 68
- 00:03:58,255 --> 00:04:00,155
- For future reference,
- 69
- 00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:02,157
- just because I spend
- the night with Bonnie
- 70
- 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,759
- doesn't mean you can't
- sleep in your own bed.
- 71
- 00:04:04,761 --> 00:04:07,128
- Right, yeah, no.
- I-I crashed at the Armory.
- 72
- 00:04:07,130 --> 00:04:09,431
- I figured I'd give you two some space.
- 73
- 00:04:09,433 --> 00:04:10,765
- How's Bonnie doing?
- 74
- 00:04:10,767 --> 00:04:11,967
- Glued to Enzo's side,
- 75
- 00:04:11,969 --> 00:04:14,369
- despite all the awful
- things he's saying to her.
- 76
- 00:04:14,371 --> 00:04:16,371
- It's gonna take another
- day or two of starving him
- 77
- 00:04:16,373 --> 00:04:19,040
- before she can get started
- with his humanity switch.
- 78
- 00:04:19,042 --> 00:04:20,175
- Well, if anyone can bring him back,
- 79
- 00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:21,176
- Bonnie can.
- 80
- 00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:23,237
- Hey, you know what,
- 81
- 00:04:23,262 --> 00:04:24,412
- I should probably get going.
- 82
- 00:04:24,414 --> 00:04:25,614
- Alaric and I
- 83
- 00:04:25,616 --> 00:04:27,749
- have a little date with a siren.
- 84
- 00:04:27,751 --> 00:04:28,950
- Be careful.
- 85
- 00:04:28,952 --> 00:04:30,218
- You've seen what Sybil can do
- 86
- 00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:31,653
- when she gets inside your head.
- 87
- 00:04:31,655 --> 00:04:34,089
- As long as this tuning fork
- is ringing, she can't.
- 88
- 00:04:34,091 --> 00:04:35,624
- Is there some sort of engaged person
- 89
- 00:04:35,626 --> 00:04:38,660
- shorthand for "Good luck and...
- 90
- 00:04:38,662 --> 00:04:39,928
- I'm with you in spirit"?
- 91
- 00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:41,696
- Yeah, I think it's "I love you."
- 92
- 00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:43,632
- I love you, too.
- 93
- 00:04:44,635 --> 00:04:46,668
- Hey, thanks.
- 94
- 00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:49,583
- Oh, thank the nanny.
- She's the unwitting enabler.
- 95
- 00:04:49,608 --> 00:04:51,339
- Oh, hey.
- 96
- 00:04:51,341 --> 00:04:52,674
- Uh...
- 97
- 00:04:52,676 --> 00:04:53,937
- I thought I told you
- not to come in today.
- 98
- 00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:55,644
- Well, I heard there was a coffee shortage
- 99
- 00:04:55,646 --> 00:04:57,078
- and came running.
- 100
- 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,146
- Well, actually,
- 101
- 00:04:58,148 --> 00:04:59,489
- we're in the middle of a major project.
- 102
- 00:04:59,513 --> 00:05:00,724
- So why don't you take the day off...
- 103
- 00:05:00,748 --> 00:05:02,150
- Major project? Sounds sketchy.
- 104
- 00:05:02,152 --> 00:05:03,852
- Got a girl tied up in the basement?
- 105
- 00:05:06,034 --> 00:05:07,600
- Jokes.
- 106
- 00:05:08,258 --> 00:05:10,435
- Okay, I'll leave you to it.
- 107
- 00:05:12,362 --> 00:05:15,330
- I can only deal with
- one temptress at a time.
- 108
- 00:05:15,332 --> 00:05:17,232
- Anyway, any word from Damon?
- 109
- 00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:20,802
- None. And that's what worries me.
- 110
- 00:05:32,716 --> 00:05:34,482
- Hey!
- 111
- 00:05:34,484 --> 00:05:37,686
- Hey! Earth to Planet Redneck.
- 112
- 00:05:38,755 --> 00:05:40,121
- Are you Peter Maxwell?
- 113
- 00:05:40,123 --> 00:05:41,423
- No, Pete owns the place.
- 114
- 00:05:41,425 --> 00:05:43,091
- I'm just the hired help.
- 115
- 00:05:43,093 --> 00:05:44,959
- Name's Lou. What can I do for you?
- 116
- 00:05:44,961 --> 00:05:47,362
- I really need to talk to Pete.
- 117
- 00:05:47,364 --> 00:05:49,164
- Well, have it your way.
- 118
- 00:05:49,166 --> 00:05:50,932
- He should be back in a bit.
- 119
- 00:05:52,202 --> 00:05:54,952
- Hey, what exactly brings you out here?
- 120
- 00:05:54,977 --> 00:05:56,571
- You know, it's hard to say.
- 121
- 00:05:56,573 --> 00:05:57,806
- To be honest, I'm not even the one
- 122
- 00:05:57,808 --> 00:05:59,708
- that cares about finding your boss.
- 123
- 00:05:59,733 --> 00:06:02,343
- There is a woman...
- and I use that term loosely...
- 124
- 00:06:02,345 --> 00:06:04,779
- Named Sybil, who wants to.
- 125
- 00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:08,383
- So, inexplicably,
- 126
- 00:06:08,385 --> 00:06:09,918
- here I am.
- 127
- 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,554
- Sounds like that gal's
- screwing with your head.
- 128
- 00:06:12,556 --> 00:06:15,457
- Oh, you have no idea.
- 129
- 00:06:15,459 --> 00:06:18,526
- You'd be surprised.
- I've been married five times.
- 130
- 00:06:19,396 --> 00:06:22,530
- Oh, I take that back.
- 131
- 00:06:22,532 --> 00:06:24,199
- You do get me, Lou.
- 132
- 00:06:24,201 --> 00:06:26,401
- See, the catch is:
- 133
- 00:06:26,403 --> 00:06:27,969
- Sybil and I had a thing,
- 134
- 00:06:27,971 --> 00:06:29,104
- but it's done.
- 135
- 00:06:29,106 --> 00:06:30,705
- In theory, I'm a free man,
- 136
- 00:06:30,707 --> 00:06:33,541
- but I still find myself
- doing whatever it is
- 137
- 00:06:33,543 --> 00:06:35,577
- I think she'd want me to be doing.
- 138
- 00:06:35,579 --> 00:06:37,412
- Hell, between you and me,
- 139
- 00:06:37,414 --> 00:06:39,180
- I'd probably kill for her.
- 140
- 00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:43,651
- Pete'll be back soon.
- I should get back to work.
- 141
- 00:06:43,676 --> 00:06:45,153
- No,
- 142
- 00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:47,589
- you should do everything I say.
- 143
- 00:06:47,591 --> 00:06:50,894
- Just answer one more question for me.
- 144
- 00:06:50,919 --> 00:06:52,927
- What's the worst thing you've ever done?
- 145
- 00:06:52,929 --> 00:06:56,965
- I murdered one of those
- wives I told you about.
- 146
- 00:06:56,967 --> 00:06:58,767
- Made it look like an accident.
- 147
- 00:06:58,769 --> 00:07:00,935
- Don't move.
- 148
- 00:07:00,937 --> 00:07:05,073
- Oh, damn. I was rooting for you, Lou.
- 149
- 00:07:06,943 --> 00:07:08,977
- I really was.
- 150
- 00:07:17,487 --> 00:07:19,821
- Now, like you said...
- 151
- 00:07:19,823 --> 00:07:21,389
- get back to work.
- 152
- 00:07:45,148 --> 00:07:46,748
- The all-powerful siren.
- 153
- 00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:49,617
- Imprisoned by a fork.
- 154
- 00:07:49,619 --> 00:07:52,320
- Says the man who can
- be killed with a stick.
- 155
- 00:07:52,322 --> 00:07:53,855
- What is it about this thing
- 156
- 00:07:53,857 --> 00:07:54,889
- that hurts you so much?
- 157
- 00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:56,372
- And why does it hurt my kids?
- 158
- 00:07:56,397 --> 00:07:58,793
- And here I thought you
- had me all figured out.
- 159
- 00:07:58,795 --> 00:08:00,128
- Guess not.
- 160
- 00:08:04,313 --> 00:08:06,267
- If this disrupts your psychic ability,
- 161
- 00:08:06,269 --> 00:08:08,336
- then why is Damon still your puppet?
- 162
- 00:08:08,338 --> 00:08:12,841
- I tinkered with the deepest
- reaches of his subconscious.
- 163
- 00:08:12,843 --> 00:08:15,777
- If Damon's still serving me,
- it's because deep down,
- 164
- 00:08:15,779 --> 00:08:17,011
- he wants to.
- 165
- 00:08:17,013 --> 00:08:19,581
- Why are you doing this to him?
- 166
- 00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:21,950
- It's all Damon, Damon, Damon.
- 167
- 00:08:21,952 --> 00:08:23,618
- Aren't you even a little curious
- 168
- 00:08:23,620 --> 00:08:25,086
- about who I am?
- 169
- 00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:26,955
- No, actually.
- 170
- 00:08:26,957 --> 00:08:30,491
- All I care about is how
- to save my brother.
- 171
- 00:08:30,493 --> 00:08:31,860
- Well, fortunately,
- 172
- 00:08:31,862 --> 00:08:34,095
- the answer to your question is...
- 173
- 00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:36,631
- a story. About me.
- 174
- 00:08:36,633 --> 00:08:39,300
- You like stories, don't you, Professor?
- 175
- 00:08:39,302 --> 00:08:41,469
- I prefer nonfiction.
- 176
- 00:08:41,471 --> 00:08:43,671
- Well, then you'll love this one.
- 177
- 00:08:43,673 --> 00:08:45,707
- A long time ago,
- 178
- 00:08:45,709 --> 00:08:47,909
- in a little Mediterranean village,
- 179
- 00:08:47,911 --> 00:08:49,344
- there was a girl.
- 180
- 00:08:49,346 --> 00:08:51,279
- As she came of age,
- 181
- 00:08:51,281 --> 00:08:54,446
- the village girl began to
- manifest psychic abilities,
- 182
- 00:08:54,471 --> 00:08:56,517
- a trait that had been
- forbidden in her land
- 183
- 00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,653
- for as long as anyone could remember.
- 185
- 00:09:00,523 --> 00:09:01,656
- The fate of psychics
- 186
- 00:09:01,658 --> 00:09:03,091
- was exile.
- 187
- 00:09:03,093 --> 00:09:04,425
- Which is how our poor,
- 188
- 00:09:04,427 --> 00:09:06,261
- innocent, forsaken village girl
- 189
- 00:09:06,263 --> 00:09:08,329
- ended up on a raft...
- 190
- 00:09:08,331 --> 00:09:09,931
- The current carrying her
- 191
- 00:09:09,933 --> 00:09:13,001
- into the rocks of a cold
- and distant shore.
- 192
- 00:09:24,047 --> 00:09:27,749
- But abandoned though she was meant to be,
- 193
- 00:09:27,751 --> 00:09:29,817
- alone she was not.
- 194
- 00:09:36,259 --> 00:09:38,126
- There she met
- 195
- 00:09:38,128 --> 00:09:40,361
- the girl of the island.
- 196
- 00:09:43,466 --> 00:09:45,979
- Exiled together,
- 197
- 00:09:46,004 --> 00:09:47,669
- connected in psychic ability,
- 198
- 00:09:47,671 --> 00:09:50,138
- two sisters in everything but blood,
- 199
- 00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:53,641
- destined from that moment
- to one day become...
- 200
- 00:09:54,736 --> 00:09:56,503
- ...the sirens.
- 201
- 00:09:56,980 --> 00:09:58,546
- So you see, Stefan,
- 202
- 00:09:58,548 --> 00:10:01,883
- I understand why you would
- do anything for your brother.
- 203
- 00:10:03,053 --> 00:10:07,922
- Because my sister
- will do anything for me.
- 204
- 00:10:07,924 --> 00:10:10,058
- Will do?
- 205
- 00:10:10,060 --> 00:10:11,993
- Present tense?
- 206
- 00:10:11,995 --> 00:10:15,396
- Oh, did I forget to
- mention there are two of us?
- 207
- 00:10:16,967 --> 00:10:19,167
- Me in here.
- 208
- 00:10:19,169 --> 00:10:21,269
- And her out there.
- 210
- 00:10:31,247 --> 00:10:34,314
- Would you please stop doing that?
- 211
- 00:10:34,316 --> 00:10:36,150
- It is complete overkill.
- 212
- 00:10:36,152 --> 00:10:37,851
- What do you mean, two sirens?
- 213
- 00:10:37,853 --> 00:10:39,353
- I thought you were a scholar.
- 214
- 00:10:39,355 --> 00:10:42,823
- Every single mythological
- interpretation of who I am
- 215
- 00:10:42,825 --> 00:10:45,225
- mentions sirens... plural.
- 216
- 00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:47,427
- Well, those same myths
- also say that you should
- 217
- 00:10:47,429 --> 00:10:49,029
- have the lower half of a bird.
- 218
- 00:10:49,031 --> 00:10:52,065
- Well, luckily for us all,
- 219
- 00:10:52,067 --> 00:10:54,968
- you can't believe
- everything that you read.
- 220
- 00:10:54,970 --> 00:10:56,103
- Enough.
- 221
- 00:10:56,105 --> 00:10:57,838
- Who is she?
- 222
- 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,373
- Patience, Stefan.
- 223
- 00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:02,142
- I promise you'll find out soon enough.
- 224
- 00:11:17,893 --> 00:11:20,527
- Oh, crap.
- 225
- 00:11:32,708 --> 00:11:35,242
- Oh, yes.
- 226
- 00:11:40,616 --> 00:11:43,116
- Don't move, or I call the police!
- 227
- 00:11:46,655 --> 00:11:49,790
- Oh... it's the intern.
- 228
- 00:11:49,792 --> 00:11:52,448
- Oh... the nanny.
- 229
- 00:11:52,473 --> 00:11:54,027
- It's Georgie, right?
- 230
- 00:11:54,029 --> 00:11:56,230
- Do you break into houses often?
- 231
- 00:11:56,232 --> 00:11:59,032
- I got to get into Alaric's bed somehow.
- 232
- 00:11:59,034 --> 00:12:02,236
- Uh, okay, the boss man just asked me
- 233
- 00:12:02,238 --> 00:12:03,916
- to bring this journal back to the Armory,
- 234
- 00:12:03,941 --> 00:12:06,773
- and like a dumbass, I didn't
- think to ask him for the keys.
- 235
- 00:12:06,775 --> 00:12:09,543
- I just figured I'd save
- myself an embarrassing call.
- 236
- 00:12:09,545 --> 00:12:11,078
- Well, the call I'm about to make
- 237
- 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,879
- is probably even more embarrassing.
- 238
- 00:12:12,881 --> 00:12:14,314
- Okay.
- 239
- 00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:16,446
- Maybe you better stay put.
- 240
- 00:12:16,471 --> 00:12:18,852
- Maybe you should stick
- to naps and snacks.
- 241
- 00:12:18,854 --> 00:12:21,722
- Okeydokey. Calling Ric.
- 242
- 00:12:21,724 --> 00:12:25,459
- I really wouldn't do that if I were you.
- 243
- 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,706
- You must be Peter Maxwell.
- 244
- 00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:40,707
- Who the hell are you?
- 245
- 00:12:40,709 --> 00:12:43,176
- Damon Salvatore. AKA...
- 246
- 00:12:43,178 --> 00:12:47,180
- the guy that barbecued your
- little grease monkey over there.
- 247
- 00:12:47,182 --> 00:12:48,711
- No offense, Pete, but I don't think
- 248
- 00:12:48,736 --> 00:12:50,284
- that extinguisher's gonna work.
- 249
- 00:12:50,286 --> 00:12:52,686
- Lou's got a date for an eternal burn.
- 250
- 00:12:55,712 --> 00:12:57,858
- Uh, before you make that
- phone call, I want you
- 251
- 00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:59,860
- to ask yourself one question.
- 252
- 00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:01,695
- If I just murdered your
- faithful manservant
- 253
- 00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:03,196
- in cold blood, why would I have
- 254
- 00:13:03,198 --> 00:13:05,332
- any problem murdering you?
- 255
- 00:13:07,603 --> 00:13:10,203
- Good boy.
- 256
- 00:13:10,205 --> 00:13:11,872
- But that was a trick question, Pete.
- 257
- 00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:14,875
- I can't actually kill you... yet.
- 258
- 00:13:14,877 --> 00:13:16,576
- Well, that's comforting, I guess.
- 259
- 00:13:16,578 --> 00:13:17,744
- You ever meet a girl named Sybil?
- 260
- 00:13:17,746 --> 00:13:19,846
- About yay high, hot as hell.
- 261
- 00:13:19,848 --> 00:13:22,649
- Face rots off when she
- doesn't feed on human flesh?
- 262
- 00:13:22,651 --> 00:13:23,717
- You're insane.
- 263
- 00:13:23,719 --> 00:13:25,185
- I'm gonna take that as a no, Pete.
- 264
- 00:13:25,187 --> 00:13:27,821
- Then again, you could be lying to me.
- 265
- 00:13:30,059 --> 00:13:31,958
- Now tell me the truth. Do you have any idea
- 266
- 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,527
- - what I'm talking about?
- - No.
- 267
- 00:13:33,529 --> 00:13:35,829
- Everything you're saying sounds crazy.
- 268
- 00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:41,868
- Damn it.
- 269
- 00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:43,637
- I'm gonna make this as simple as I can.
- 270
- 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:45,706
- You have something Sybil wants,
- 271
- 00:13:45,708 --> 00:13:47,040
- I'm gonna deliver it.
- 272
- 00:13:47,042 --> 00:13:49,543
- You can take whatever it is and just go.
- 273
- 00:13:49,545 --> 00:13:51,278
- That's not an option, Pete.
- 274
- 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,280
- I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.
- 275
- 00:13:53,282 --> 00:13:54,948
- Then how are you supposed to find it?
- 276
- 00:13:54,950 --> 00:13:57,818
- We, Pete. We.
- 277
- 00:13:57,820 --> 00:13:58,902
- Here's the deal.
- 278
- 00:13:58,927 --> 00:14:00,654
- All I consciously know is that it's
- 279
- 00:14:00,656 --> 00:14:02,322
- a Maxwell family heirloom.
- 280
- 00:14:02,324 --> 00:14:04,524
- But subconsciously, I'm pretty damn sure
- 281
- 00:14:04,526 --> 00:14:06,293
- I'll know it when I see it.
- 282
- 00:14:06,295 --> 00:14:09,162
- Okay? So where should we start looking?
- 283
- 00:14:09,164 --> 00:14:10,797
- I-I have no idea.
- 284
- 00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:13,333
- Look, the only family I have is my son.
- 285
- 00:14:13,335 --> 00:14:15,569
- I need you to think real hard,
- 286
- 00:14:15,571 --> 00:14:16,903
- 'cause your life depends on it.
- 287
- 00:14:16,905 --> 00:14:17,904
- A couple years ago,
- 288
- 00:14:17,906 --> 00:14:19,506
- my grandmother died, all right?
- 289
- 00:14:19,508 --> 00:14:21,208
- She left me a box of stuff.
- 290
- 00:14:21,210 --> 00:14:22,476
- Sounds promising.
- 291
- 00:14:22,478 --> 00:14:23,677
- What kind of stuff we talking about?
- 292
- 00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:25,345
- I don't know. I never opened it.
- 293
- 00:14:25,347 --> 00:14:27,260
- Family's a bit of a sore spot with me.
- 294
- 00:14:27,285 --> 00:14:29,683
- Trust me, I know the feeling, man.
- 295
- 00:14:29,685 --> 00:14:31,218
- Where's this box, Pete?
- 296
- 00:14:31,220 --> 00:14:32,686
- It's somewhere in the storage room.
- 297
- 00:14:32,688 --> 00:14:34,154
- My son was looking for it a while back.
- 298
- 00:14:34,156 --> 00:14:36,523
- - Maybe he found it, all right?
- - Oh, good.
- 299
- 00:14:36,525 --> 00:14:38,325
- Call Junior. Get him over here.
- 300
- 00:14:38,327 --> 00:14:39,826
- Now.
- 301
- 00:14:43,866 --> 00:14:46,900
- It's Seline. You got this?
- 302
- 00:14:46,902 --> 00:14:48,268
- Yeah.
- 303
- 00:14:48,270 --> 00:14:51,538
- Seline? Suspicious name.
- 304
- 00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:53,006
- Very siren-y.
- 305
- 00:14:53,008 --> 00:14:55,175
- How about we just focus
- on you and your sister?
- 306
- 00:14:55,177 --> 00:14:58,712
- I think I'll just wait
- for Alaric to get back.
- 307
- 00:14:58,714 --> 00:15:01,214
- You're stalling.
- 308
- 00:15:01,216 --> 00:15:02,682
- Who is she?
- 309
- 00:15:02,684 --> 00:15:06,086
- You think hurting me
- is gonna speed this up?
- 310
- 00:15:13,462 --> 00:15:15,429
- Thank you.
- 311
- 00:15:15,431 --> 00:15:18,598
- Now, despite enjoying
- each other's company,
- 312
- 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,701
- the girls had another
- constant companion...
- 313
- 00:15:21,703 --> 00:15:22,903
- hunger.
- 314
- 00:15:22,905 --> 00:15:24,771
- The one who had survived
- 315
- 00:15:24,773 --> 00:15:28,408
- on the island this long had a plan.
- 316
- 00:15:28,410 --> 00:15:30,644
- Call out to them with me.
- 317
- 00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:34,281
- They will never hear us.
- 318
- 00:15:34,283 --> 00:15:36,216
- Raise your voice,
- 319
- 00:15:36,218 --> 00:15:38,452
- and your mind will soar out to meet it.
- 320
- 00:15:45,427 --> 00:15:46,827
- Help!
- 321
- 00:15:46,829 --> 00:15:48,428
- Over here!
- 322
- 00:15:48,430 --> 00:15:49,596
- Help!
- 323
- 00:15:49,598 --> 00:15:51,665
- Help! Help!
- 324
- 00:15:51,667 --> 00:15:53,700
- Please. Over here.
- 325
- 00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:54,835
- Help! Over here!
- 326
- 00:15:54,837 --> 00:15:56,937
- They heard us.
- 327
- 00:15:56,939 --> 00:15:58,982
- The ship is coming our way.
- 328
- 00:15:59,007 --> 00:16:00,640
- We are saved.
- 329
- 00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:04,294
- Over here.
- 330
- 00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:08,515
- But the girl of the island
- 331
- 00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:09,749
- knew better.
- 332
- 00:16:09,751 --> 00:16:11,618
- She had done this before,
- 333
- 00:16:11,620 --> 00:16:14,221
- called out to passing
- sailors with her mind.
- 334
- 00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:17,424
- But no matter how keen her psychic reach,
- 335
- 00:16:17,426 --> 00:16:20,327
- the shoals around the
- island were sharper.
- 336
- 00:16:20,329 --> 00:16:22,162
- So you beached the ship.
- 337
- 00:16:22,164 --> 00:16:23,797
- Try annihilated.
- 338
- 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:27,367
- Dashed upon the rocks,
- dooming its sailors to death.
- 339
- 00:16:27,369 --> 00:16:29,876
- But, silver lining,
- 340
- 00:16:29,901 --> 00:16:31,771
- their sweet, sweet provisions
- 341
- 00:16:31,773 --> 00:16:34,341
- would soon wash up on shore.
- 342
- 00:16:44,419 --> 00:16:47,187
- The tides were not in our favor today.
- 343
- 00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:49,222
- This is all that washed up.
- 344
- 00:16:49,224 --> 00:16:51,658
- You knew this would happen?
- 345
- 00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:53,260
- The island is barren,
- 346
- 00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:56,563
- save for berries and wild boar.
- 347
- 00:16:56,565 --> 00:16:58,164
- This way is easier...
- 348
- 00:16:58,166 --> 00:17:01,668
- and more fun.
- 349
- 00:17:02,771 --> 00:17:05,906
- Sister, do not weep for them.
- 350
- 00:17:05,908 --> 00:17:08,875
- Those sailors were from our village.
- 351
- 00:17:08,877 --> 00:17:12,078
- The same men who banished us here to die.
- 352
- 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,848
- Never again.
- 353
- 00:17:14,850 --> 00:17:18,718
- If we cannot live off of
- what God has provided for us,
- 354
- 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,854
- then we are not meant to live at all.
- 355
- 00:17:22,357 --> 00:17:24,357
- Promise me?
- 356
- 00:17:27,563 --> 00:17:30,630
- Stop me if this sounds familiar.
- 357
- 00:17:30,632 --> 00:17:33,833
- One good sibling,
- determined to live like a monk,
- 358
- 00:17:33,835 --> 00:17:36,236
- and one selfishly evil sibling,
- 359
- 00:17:36,238 --> 00:17:38,872
- willing to murder to
- satiate their hunger.
- 360
- 00:17:40,719 --> 00:17:42,842
- Oh, come on, you get it.
- 361
- 00:17:42,844 --> 00:17:44,945
- The parallels are too good.
- 362
- 00:17:44,947 --> 00:17:48,181
- Our story is your story, Stefan.
- 363
- 00:17:48,183 --> 00:17:50,550
- So now here's the test.
- 364
- 00:17:50,552 --> 00:17:53,053
- Which girl are you?
- 365
- 00:18:02,232 --> 00:18:04,898
- So, uh, what do you think?
- 366
- 00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,467
- I think it's a hood ornament, Pete.
- 367
- 00:18:07,469 --> 00:18:10,437
- Vintage Rolls-Royce.
- 368
- 00:18:10,439 --> 00:18:12,505
- Aah! I also think
- 369
- 00:18:12,507 --> 00:18:14,474
- that you're in danger
- of losing a real life.
- 370
- 00:18:14,476 --> 00:18:16,476
- Look, I'm doing what you asked.
- 371
- 00:18:16,478 --> 00:18:18,111
- Oh, are you? I compelled you
- 372
- 00:18:18,113 --> 00:18:19,346
- to find what I needed.
- 373
- 00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:21,481
- You keep bringing me a bunch of junk.
- 374
- 00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:25,719
- Where'd you get that watch?
- 375
- 00:18:25,721 --> 00:18:28,662
- My son gave it to me.
- What difference does it make?
- 376
- 00:18:28,687 --> 00:18:30,601
- Considering that it's a family heirloom,
- 377
- 00:18:30,626 --> 00:18:33,226
- quite a bit... Hand it over.
- 378
- 00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,134
- Aah!
- 379
- 00:18:43,438 --> 00:18:44,938
- You're on vervain.
- 380
- 00:18:44,940 --> 00:18:47,007
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- 381
- 00:18:47,009 --> 00:18:49,709
- You lied to me, Pete.
- 382
- 00:18:49,711 --> 00:18:51,911
- And you know what happens to liars.
- 383
- 00:18:56,351 --> 00:18:58,118
- They go straight to hell.
- 384
- 00:19:04,389 --> 00:19:06,122
- Donovan?
- 385
- 00:19:09,531 --> 00:19:10,930
- Dad.
- 386
- 00:19:14,913 --> 00:19:17,043
- Don't move, don't move. Let me see it.
- 387
- 00:19:20,782 --> 00:19:22,714
- All right, look, it's not that bad, okay?
- 388
- 00:19:22,739 --> 00:19:24,450
- Just keep some pressure on it,
- you're gonna be fine.
- 389
- 00:19:24,452 --> 00:19:25,751
- Don't lie to me, Matt.
- 390
- 00:19:25,753 --> 00:19:27,512
- Look, you're gonna be fine
- 391
- 00:19:27,537 --> 00:19:29,055
- if you do exactly as I say.
- 392
- 00:19:32,060 --> 00:19:34,327
- - What are you doing?
- - I need you to drink his blood.
- 393
- 00:19:34,329 --> 00:19:36,162
- Why? I'll explain later,
- 394
- 00:19:36,164 --> 00:19:38,597
- but right now I need
- you to trust me, okay?
- 395
- 00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:40,550
- - Drink.
- - N-No...
- 396
- 00:19:44,878 --> 00:19:47,340
- Wha-What?
- 397
- 00:19:55,283 --> 00:19:57,524
- - What just happened?
- - I told you I'll explain everything.
- 398
- 00:19:57,548 --> 00:19:59,797
- But first I need to understand why
- Damon was trying to hurt you.
- 399
- 00:19:59,821 --> 00:20:02,121
- Wait, you're telling me you,
- you knew this guy?
- 400
- 00:20:02,123 --> 00:20:03,656
- I'm telling you that I know him.
- 401
- 00:20:03,658 --> 00:20:06,692
- He's not dead. Not exactly.
- 402
- 00:20:06,694 --> 00:20:09,428
- I know. None of this makes
- any sense, and I know.
- 403
- 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:10,696
- I tracked you down a few months ago
- 404
- 00:20:10,698 --> 00:20:12,009
- and I didn't tell you about any of this.
- 405
- 00:20:12,033 --> 00:20:13,566
- Okay, I'm sorry, but I promise,
- 406
- 00:20:13,568 --> 00:20:15,534
- if you go to the truck right now,
- I'll explain everything.
- 407
- 00:20:15,536 --> 00:20:18,170
- I just don't want you to
- see what happens next.
- 408
- 00:20:27,515 --> 00:20:31,317
- Look, I... I feel silly calling.
- It's probably nothing.
- 409
- 00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:32,488
- Why, what's going on?
- 410
- 00:20:32,513 --> 00:20:36,022
- Well, your intern Georgie,
- she broke into the house.
- 411
- 00:20:36,024 --> 00:20:36,989
- Wait, she what?
- 412
- 00:20:36,991 --> 00:20:38,391
- And she took a book.
- 413
- 00:20:38,393 --> 00:20:39,625
- Some dead guy's journal.
- 414
- 00:20:39,627 --> 00:20:41,327
- Said that she was
- bringing it back to you?
- 415
- 00:20:41,329 --> 00:20:43,062
- Well, are you okay? Are the girls?
- 416
- 00:20:43,064 --> 00:20:44,196
- Yeah. Why?
- 417
- 00:20:44,198 --> 00:20:45,564
- Should I be more worried?
- 418
- 00:20:45,566 --> 00:20:47,500
- I mean, she's just a
- little weirdo, right?
- 419
- 00:20:49,983 --> 00:20:52,727
- It's, uh, it's fine.
- Hey, thanks for calling.
- 420
- 00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:54,924
- I-I gotta call you back, okay?
- 421
- 00:21:00,748 --> 00:21:05,484
- Hello?
- 422
- 00:21:06,788 --> 00:21:08,687
- Georgie?
- 423
- 00:21:08,689 --> 00:21:11,357
- I'm here. Sorry.
- 424
- 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,492
- Wait!
- 425
- 00:21:13,494 --> 00:21:15,394
- Look, we don't have to be enemies.
- 426
- 00:21:15,396 --> 00:21:17,463
- Damon and I had nothing
- to do with the Armory
- 427
- 00:21:17,465 --> 00:21:19,131
- until you possessed him.
- 428
- 00:21:19,133 --> 00:21:20,524
- If we're enemies, it's because
- 429
- 00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:22,468
- you chose this path.
- 430
- 00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:24,804
- - I didn't ask for any of this.
- - God.
- 431
- 00:21:24,806 --> 00:21:26,477
- You sound just like her.
- 432
- 00:21:26,502 --> 00:21:29,175
- A victim to the last.
- 433
- 00:21:29,177 --> 00:21:33,245
- She insisted the island
- would nourish them.
- 434
- 00:21:33,247 --> 00:21:35,622
- And when it didn't, her faith was shaken.
- 435
- 00:21:35,647 --> 00:21:38,417
- God did not provide.
- 436
- 00:21:38,419 --> 00:21:40,586
- That was up to her sister.
- 437
- 00:21:40,588 --> 00:21:43,756
- The other side of the island
- was the wild boars' domain.
- 438
- 00:21:43,758 --> 00:21:46,559
- It was dangerous,
- but she knew she must hunt.
- 439
- 00:21:46,561 --> 00:21:48,327
- And behold.
- 440
- 00:21:48,329 --> 00:21:50,963
- God was good.
- 441
- 00:21:50,965 --> 00:21:53,132
- Or maybe there were
- no boars on the island.
- 442
- 00:21:53,134 --> 00:21:55,401
- You kept luring ships into the rocks.
- 443
- 00:21:55,403 --> 00:21:57,269
- Killing for provisions.
- 444
- 00:21:57,271 --> 00:21:59,978
- And do you want to know
- the sickest part of all?
- 445
- 00:22:01,209 --> 00:22:03,909
- There were no provisions on the ships.
- 446
- 00:22:03,911 --> 00:22:05,644
- Only sailors.
- 447
- 00:22:05,646 --> 00:22:10,547
- And so, an innocent
- girl became a monster.
- 448
- 00:22:10,572 --> 00:22:11,294
- All because
- 449
- 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:14,353
- her older sibling forced
- her to adopt her lifestyle,
- 450
- 00:22:14,355 --> 00:22:17,256
- even if it meant
- killing and eating men
- 451
- 00:22:17,258 --> 00:22:18,757
- to stay alive.
- 452
- 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:20,426
- So, I ask you again.
- 453
- 00:22:20,428 --> 00:22:23,329
- Which girl are you?
- 454
- 00:22:23,331 --> 00:22:26,599
- Here's all you need to know.
- 455
- 00:22:26,601 --> 00:22:30,302
- Whatever Damon and I have done
- to one another in the past,
- 456
- 00:22:30,304 --> 00:22:31,971
- it has been forgiven.
- 457
- 00:22:31,973 --> 00:22:34,140
- He is my brother,
- 458
- 00:22:34,142 --> 00:22:39,145
- and there's nothing you can
- do that will ever change that.
- 459
- 00:22:40,648 --> 00:22:43,657
- I think you've overestimated your sibling.
- 460
- 00:22:44,712 --> 00:22:47,820
- And clearly, I have underestimated mine.
- 461
- 00:23:12,170 --> 00:23:15,530
- Hey, sailor.
- 462
- 00:23:15,532 --> 00:23:17,565
- What did you do to me?
- 463
- 00:23:17,567 --> 00:23:18,389
- I'm in your head.
- 464
- 00:23:18,414 --> 00:23:20,350
- Well, our head, kind of.
- 465
- 00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:22,053
- My memories, your noggin.
- 466
- 00:23:22,078 --> 00:23:24,872
- Your silly fork stopped ringing.
- 467
- 00:23:25,850 --> 00:23:27,301
- There's nowhere to run.
- 468
- 00:23:27,303 --> 00:23:29,870
- So walk with me.
- 469
- 00:23:31,407 --> 00:23:33,841
- Oh, so is this where you attack my psyche?
- 470
- 00:23:33,843 --> 00:23:35,441
- Try to break me down?
- 471
- 00:23:35,466 --> 00:23:36,715
- Normally, yes.
- 472
- 00:23:36,740 --> 00:23:38,645
- But the boss has other plans for you.
- 473
- 00:23:38,647 --> 00:23:40,447
- - The boss?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 474
- 00:23:40,449 --> 00:23:42,049
- What are you talking about?
- 475
- 00:23:42,051 --> 00:23:44,618
- He thinks you're worthy of
- hearing the whole story.
- 476
- 00:23:45,822 --> 00:23:47,589
- Shall we continue?
- 477
- 00:23:54,864 --> 00:23:57,831
- For years, my sister
- and I lived as cannibals.
- 478
- 00:23:57,833 --> 00:23:59,900
- One willingly,
- 479
- 00:23:59,902 --> 00:24:02,035
- one blissfully ignorant.
- 480
- 00:24:02,037 --> 00:24:04,738
- Until I discovered this.
- 481
- 00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:09,076
- Where my sister had buried
- the sailors she had murdered.
- 482
- 00:24:09,078 --> 00:24:11,407
- Only visible at low tide.
- 483
- 00:24:11,432 --> 00:24:13,547
- It was the perfect hiding spot.
- 484
- 00:24:13,549 --> 00:24:15,115
- You discovered?
- 485
- 00:24:16,940 --> 00:24:19,720
- You're not the girl from
- the island, are you?
- 486
- 00:24:19,722 --> 00:24:21,388
- You're the village girl.
- 487
- 00:24:21,390 --> 00:24:25,259
- I tried.
- 488
- 00:24:25,261 --> 00:24:28,228
- I tried so hard to be good.
- 489
- 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:32,293
- My sister forced this existence on me.
- 490
- 00:24:32,318 --> 00:24:34,468
- What, you expect me
- to have sympathy for you?
- 491
- 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:35,702
- After everything you've done?
- 492
- 00:24:35,704 --> 00:24:38,105
- Maybe, maybe not.
- 493
- 00:24:38,107 --> 00:24:40,908
- It all comes down to the same question:
- 494
- 00:24:40,910 --> 00:24:46,547
- which siren is your
- spirit animal, Stefan?
- 495
- 00:24:55,391 --> 00:24:57,424
- Oh, come on, man, drop the act.
- 496
- 00:24:57,426 --> 00:24:59,644
- We both know you're not gonna kill me.
- 497
- 00:24:59,669 --> 00:25:00,561
- Why not?
- 498
- 00:25:00,563 --> 00:25:02,223
- That seems to be your
- solution for everything.
- 499
- 00:25:02,247 --> 00:25:03,469
- Maybe I should give it a shot.
- 500
- 00:25:03,494 --> 00:25:06,300
- I'm sorry, Matt, I know
- this is supposed to scare me,
- 501
- 00:25:06,302 --> 00:25:07,801
- but fear is an emotion,
- 502
- 00:25:07,803 --> 00:25:09,536
- and ever since I flipped my switch,
- 503
- 00:25:09,538 --> 00:25:11,371
- I'm kind of operating without them.
- 504
- 00:25:11,373 --> 00:25:13,240
- All I'm getting from you
- 505
- 00:25:13,242 --> 00:25:15,275
- is desperation.
- 506
- 00:25:15,277 --> 00:25:17,377
- You're right, Damon, I am desperate.
- 507
- 00:25:17,379 --> 00:25:19,146
- And for once,
- 508
- 00:25:19,148 --> 00:25:20,847
- I don't care about your drama.
- 509
- 00:25:20,849 --> 00:25:23,257
- I don't give a damn if you
- shut your humanity off.
- 510
- 00:25:23,282 --> 00:25:25,719
- All I want to know is why
- you tried to kill my father.
- 511
- 00:25:25,721 --> 00:25:27,154
- Look, man, in my defense,
- 512
- 00:25:27,156 --> 00:25:28,922
- I didn't know he was your dad.
- 513
- 00:25:28,924 --> 00:25:30,824
- I always thought you were a bastard.
- 514
- 00:25:30,826 --> 00:25:32,926
- Shut up, I'm done playing games.
- 515
- 00:25:34,496 --> 00:25:38,198
- Well, Tyler Lockwood is gonna
- be very sad to hear that.
- 516
- 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,700
- Because if you don't play along,
- 517
- 00:25:39,702 --> 00:25:41,463
- he dies.
- 518
- 00:25:41,488 --> 00:25:43,547
- Maybe you care about that?
- 519
- 00:25:45,641 --> 00:25:47,207
- Not even you're that stupid.
- 520
- 00:25:47,209 --> 00:25:48,709
- Humanity or not,
- 521
- 00:25:48,711 --> 00:25:50,077
- nobody'd forgive you for that.
- 522
- 00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:51,445
- Especially Elena.
- 523
- 00:25:51,447 --> 00:25:53,413
- Well, that's the whole point, you idiot.
- 524
- 00:25:53,415 --> 00:25:55,782
- Apparently, you've been out
- of the loop for a while, Matt,
- 525
- 00:25:55,807 --> 00:25:58,985
- so allow me to bring you up to speed.
- 526
- 00:25:59,010 --> 00:26:01,955
- Elena and I are through.
- 527
- 00:26:01,957 --> 00:26:03,557
- In fact,
- 528
- 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:05,826
- I've been seeing another woman.
- 529
- 00:26:05,828 --> 00:26:08,862
- You're lying. Last time
- I knew, Tyler was up in, uh...
- 530
- 00:26:08,864 --> 00:26:10,597
- In New York?
- 531
- 00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:12,666
- Am I lying or being completely truthful
- 532
- 00:26:12,668 --> 00:26:15,966
- when I tell you that I ripped
- into Tyler's throat last night?
- 533
- 00:26:15,991 --> 00:26:18,772
- And then I took him on a road trip.
- 534
- 00:26:18,774 --> 00:26:21,508
- Left him bleeding in the
- back of a green Mustang
- 535
- 00:26:21,510 --> 00:26:23,836
- at the Park 'N Go off I-20,
- 536
- 00:26:23,861 --> 00:26:26,221
- right across the border.
- 537
- 00:26:26,246 --> 00:26:30,117
- Now, is that too specific for a lie?
- 538
- 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,819
- It's your move, Matt.
- 539
- 00:26:32,821 --> 00:26:34,988
- Ticktock.
- 540
- 00:26:36,525 --> 00:26:37,824
- If you hurt Tyler,
- 541
- 00:26:37,826 --> 00:26:40,894
- I swear to God, I will kill you.
- 542
- 00:26:40,896 --> 00:26:45,365
- Well, you can swear to God all you want.
- 543
- 00:26:45,367 --> 00:26:48,168
- He's not the one listening.
- 544
- 00:27:03,852 --> 00:27:08,588
- Hey, uh... Stefan.
- 545
- 00:27:08,590 --> 00:27:10,290
- Or Caroline.
- 546
- 00:27:10,292 --> 00:27:12,392
- I guess this is my modern-day version
- 547
- 00:27:12,394 --> 00:27:13,694
- of a dead man's journal.
- 548
- 00:27:13,696 --> 00:27:16,763
- P.S. I believe Georgie
- is the second siren,
- 549
- 00:27:16,765 --> 00:27:18,365
- in case you haven't figured it out.
- 550
- 00:27:18,367 --> 00:27:22,803
- Ironically, Georgie is how
- I know the way out of here
- 551
- 00:27:22,805 --> 00:27:25,505
- is through a tunnel system
- behind one of these walls.
- 552
- 00:27:25,507 --> 00:27:27,074
- Anyway, to find that
- wall and pass through it,
- 553
- 00:27:27,076 --> 00:27:29,763
- I have to deprive myself
- of sight and sound.
- 554
- 00:27:29,788 --> 00:27:32,045
- Now, while blindfolding myself is easy...
- 555
- 00:27:32,047 --> 00:27:34,314
- the hearing part,
- 556
- 00:27:34,316 --> 00:27:35,804
- it's gonna be tough.
- 557
- 00:27:39,722 --> 00:27:42,155
- Anyway,
- 558
- 00:27:42,157 --> 00:27:45,392
- nothing a little vampire blood
- can't fix on the "B" side.
- 559
- 00:27:45,394 --> 00:27:47,594
- At least that's what I keep
- telling myself, so,
- 560
- 00:27:47,596 --> 00:27:50,230
- on that reassuring note...
- 561
- 00:27:50,232 --> 00:27:51,465
- over and out.
- 562
- 00:28:03,345 --> 00:28:05,278
- I couldn't believe it.
- 563
- 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,047
- All those years,
- 564
- 00:28:07,049 --> 00:28:10,650
- my sister tricked me
- into eating human flesh.
- 565
- 00:28:10,652 --> 00:28:13,253
- But I had to hear the
- truth from her mouth,
- 566
- 00:28:13,255 --> 00:28:15,255
- so I confronted her.
- 567
- 00:28:15,257 --> 00:28:18,492
- You should've seen the look on her face.
- 568
- 00:28:19,549 --> 00:28:21,461
- Oh, wait, you will.
- 569
- 00:28:21,463 --> 00:28:23,663
- Here she comes now.
- 570
- 00:28:30,472 --> 00:28:31,671
- No.
- 571
- 00:28:31,673 --> 00:28:34,274
- Stefan, you've met my sister.
- 572
- 00:28:34,276 --> 00:28:36,176
- Seline.
- 573
- 00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:41,848
- Get it tucked in for you.
- 574
- 00:28:41,850 --> 00:28:43,216
- Oh!
- 575
- 00:28:43,218 --> 00:28:46,887
- One second, chickadees.
- 576
- 00:28:46,889 --> 00:28:49,256
- - Hello?
- - Alaric is trapped.
- 577
- 00:28:49,258 --> 00:28:51,224
- Why did you make me do that?
- 578
- 00:28:51,226 --> 00:28:53,026
- Just pull over wherever you are
- 579
- 00:28:53,028 --> 00:28:55,162
- and stay there, I will find you.
- 580
- 00:28:55,164 --> 00:28:57,197
- We'll talk about it then.
- 581
- 00:28:57,199 --> 00:29:00,200
- Will you tell us a story?
- 582
- 00:29:00,202 --> 00:29:01,935
- Sure, sweetie. What kind of story?
- 583
- 00:29:01,937 --> 00:29:03,336
- Nothing sad.
- 584
- 00:29:03,338 --> 00:29:05,505
- Hmm.
- 585
- 00:29:05,507 --> 00:29:07,874
- Okay.
- 586
- 00:29:07,876 --> 00:29:10,253
- I know just the one,
- 587
- 00:29:10,278 --> 00:29:12,879
- but we'll have to keep it between us.
- 588
- 00:29:12,881 --> 00:29:15,582
- No telling Mommy or Daddy.
- 589
- 00:29:15,584 --> 00:29:17,851
- It is called
- 590
- 00:29:17,853 --> 00:29:21,221
- "The Legend of Arcadius."
- 591
- 00:29:30,449 --> 00:29:32,583
- Hello?
- 592
- 00:29:32,585 --> 00:29:35,853
- Little help in here.
- 593
- 00:29:40,826 --> 00:29:44,428
- Guess it's time for plan B.
- 594
- 00:29:56,509 --> 00:29:57,775
- The bad news...
- 595
- 00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,446
- Plan B always sucks.
- 596
- 00:30:17,396 --> 00:30:19,463
- Hello, beautiful.
- 597
- 00:30:19,465 --> 00:30:23,400
- I've been looking all over for you.
- 598
- 00:30:30,442 --> 00:30:32,142
- Don't ask me how I know this,
- 599
- 00:30:32,144 --> 00:30:35,045
- or what the hell you're supposed to do,
- 600
- 00:30:35,047 --> 00:30:39,316
- but Sybil's gonna be
- very happy to see you.
- 601
- 00:30:39,318 --> 00:30:43,139
- Seline is the other siren?
- 602
- 00:30:43,164 --> 00:30:47,252
- What's more shocking? That she
- secretly fed me human flesh?
- 603
- 00:30:47,277 --> 00:30:50,612
- Or that she's now masquerading
- as a friggin' nanny?
- 604
- 00:30:50,614 --> 00:30:52,441
- Get out of my head. Now.
- 605
- 00:30:52,466 --> 00:30:54,716
- Why, so you can go warn Alaric?
- 606
- 00:30:54,718 --> 00:30:56,985
- You're assuming that I'm
- gonna let you remember this
- 607
- 00:30:56,987 --> 00:30:58,253
- when you wake up.
- 608
- 00:30:58,255 --> 00:31:00,155
- Sorry.
- 609
- 00:31:00,157 --> 00:31:01,590
- Orders from above.
- 610
- 00:31:01,592 --> 00:31:03,592
- Well, below.
- 611
- 00:31:15,472 --> 00:31:17,739
- What did you do to me?
- 612
- 00:31:17,741 --> 00:31:18,974
- You tell me.
- 613
- 00:31:18,976 --> 00:31:20,675
- What do you remember?
- 614
- 00:31:23,981 --> 00:31:27,315
- You confronted your sister.
- 615
- 00:31:27,317 --> 00:31:31,386
- She turned you into a
- cannibal against your wishes.
- 616
- 00:31:31,388 --> 00:31:34,889
- And who exactly is my sister?
- 617
- 00:31:39,930 --> 00:31:42,097
- I don't know.
- 618
- 00:31:42,966 --> 00:31:45,266
- How frustrating.
- 619
- 00:31:45,268 --> 00:31:48,536
- Why are you still here?
- 620
- 00:31:48,538 --> 00:31:50,338
- I was out cold, you were in my head.
- 621
- 00:31:50,340 --> 00:31:52,407
- Why didn't you escape?
- 622
- 00:31:52,409 --> 00:31:54,542
- And leave you with such
- a dramatic cliffhanger?
- 623
- 00:31:54,544 --> 00:31:56,845
- I'm not that evil.
- 624
- 00:31:57,848 --> 00:32:00,148
- I was about to answer your question.
- 625
- 00:32:01,284 --> 00:32:03,184
- How you can save your brother.
- 626
- 00:32:03,186 --> 00:32:06,221
- But for the last time, I need to know:
- 627
- 00:32:06,223 --> 00:32:10,025
- are you an island girl or a village girl?
- 628
- 00:32:11,428 --> 00:32:12,694
- Wait!
- 629
- 00:32:12,696 --> 00:32:15,096
- Answer me, Stefan. This is important.
- 630
- 00:32:15,098 --> 00:32:17,298
- Who are you in this story?
- 631
- 00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:21,803
- The victim, who tried for years
- not to feed on human blood,
- 632
- 00:32:21,805 --> 00:32:25,440
- only for his selfish brother to
- blow into town and ruin it all?
- 633
- 00:32:25,442 --> 00:32:27,142
- Or are you the monster,
- 634
- 00:32:27,144 --> 00:32:29,711
- who sealed his brother's
- fate the day you forced him
- 635
- 00:32:29,713 --> 00:32:31,780
- to turn into a vampire?
- 636
- 00:32:31,782 --> 00:32:33,815
- Who doomed his brother
- to an eternity of misery
- 637
- 00:32:33,817 --> 00:32:36,317
- because you were afraid of being alone?
- 638
- 00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:38,119
- There you go again.
- 639
- 00:32:38,121 --> 00:32:39,988
- Old history.
- 640
- 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:43,391
- You'd be surprised how
- fresh it is in Damon's mind.
- 641
- 00:32:43,393 --> 00:32:45,226
- Answer me.
- 642
- 00:32:45,228 --> 00:32:47,395
- Who are you?
- 643
- 00:32:54,705 --> 00:32:56,871
- I'm both.
- 644
- 00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:05,914
- I was wrong about you, Stefan.
- 645
- 00:33:05,916 --> 00:33:08,883
- You are worthy.
- 646
- 00:33:08,885 --> 00:33:11,553
- You're ready for the truth.
- 647
- 00:33:11,555 --> 00:33:14,748
- When I learned the truth
- about what my sister had done
- 648
- 00:33:14,773 --> 00:33:16,191
- for me,
- 649
- 00:33:16,193 --> 00:33:19,928
- I did the only thing a
- decent person could do.
- 650
- 00:33:19,930 --> 00:33:21,896
- I threw myself off the cliffs.
- 651
- 00:33:21,898 --> 00:33:24,343
- As I lay dying,
- 652
- 00:33:24,368 --> 00:33:26,327
- I prayed. For mercy.
- 653
- 00:33:26,352 --> 00:33:28,357
- For love. For forgiveness.
- 654
- 00:33:28,382 --> 00:33:30,482
- Oh... help... somebody help...
- 655
- 00:33:30,507 --> 00:33:33,196
- But God never answered me.
- 656
- 00:33:34,188 --> 00:33:36,611
- Instead, he did.
- 657
- 00:33:36,613 --> 00:33:39,814
- My beautiful, broken children.
- 658
- 00:33:42,219 --> 00:33:43,785
- Who are you?
- 659
- 00:33:43,787 --> 00:33:45,587
- You know.
- 660
- 00:33:45,589 --> 00:33:47,122
- Arcadius?
- 661
- 00:33:47,124 --> 00:33:49,989
- Everyone calls me Cade.
- 662
- 00:33:50,014 --> 00:33:52,460
- You are supposed to be dead.
- 663
- 00:33:52,462 --> 00:33:53,895
- Rest assured.
- 664
- 00:33:53,897 --> 00:33:55,864
- I am.
- 665
- 00:33:58,635 --> 00:33:59,901
- My sister.
- 666
- 00:33:59,903 --> 00:34:01,469
- Can you help her?
- 667
- 00:34:01,471 --> 00:34:02,904
- Yes.
- 668
- 00:34:02,906 --> 00:34:04,472
- But...
- 669
- 00:34:04,474 --> 00:34:07,175
- there is a price.
- 670
- 00:34:07,177 --> 00:34:08,910
- Anything.
- 671
- 00:34:10,647 --> 00:34:12,647
- My sister...
- 672
- 00:34:12,649 --> 00:34:15,817
- She made a deal with Cade.
- 673
- 00:34:15,819 --> 00:34:17,585
- Immortality,
- 674
- 00:34:17,587 --> 00:34:20,455
- beauty and youth, for the two of us...
- 675
- 00:34:20,457 --> 00:34:24,692
- if only we served our
- new Lord and master.
- 676
- 00:34:24,694 --> 00:34:28,196
- We feast on the flesh
- to keep us beautiful,
- 677
- 00:34:28,198 --> 00:34:31,166
- and he collects the souls of the wicked.
- 678
- 00:34:31,168 --> 00:34:33,067
- In hell.
- 679
- 00:34:33,069 --> 00:34:35,069
- Hell?
- 680
- 00:34:36,606 --> 00:34:38,807
- As in, literal hell.
- 681
- 00:34:38,809 --> 00:34:40,341
- Come on.
- 682
- 00:34:40,343 --> 00:34:41,943
- Just tell me the truth.
- 683
- 00:34:41,945 --> 00:34:43,478
- Who's Cade?
- 684
- 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,113
- What is he?
- 685
- 00:34:45,115 --> 00:34:48,183
- He's the answer to all
- your problems, Stefan.
- 686
- 00:34:50,883 --> 00:34:52,916
- You want to save your brother?
- 687
- 00:34:54,273 --> 00:34:57,407
- All you have to do is kill the Devil.
- 688
- 00:35:04,232 --> 00:35:05,756
- I don't believe you.
- 689
- 00:35:05,781 --> 00:35:08,217
- Which part? We covered a lot of ground.
- 690
- 00:35:08,242 --> 00:35:10,676
- Hell. The Devil. None of it exists.
- 691
- 00:35:10,678 --> 00:35:13,879
- Did you believe in vampires
- before you fell in love with one
- 692
- 00:35:13,881 --> 00:35:15,581
- and became one yourself?
- 693
- 00:35:15,583 --> 00:35:17,816
- That's the trouble with facts, Stefan.
- 694
- 00:35:17,818 --> 00:35:20,285
- They're true whether you
- believe in them or not.
- 695
- 00:35:20,287 --> 00:35:21,720
- I promise you,
- 696
- 00:35:21,722 --> 00:35:23,555
- just as my sister promised me.
- 697
- 00:35:23,557 --> 00:35:26,692
- There was a man named Cade.
- 698
- 00:35:26,694 --> 00:35:29,094
- The people he loved damned him.
- 699
- 00:35:29,096 --> 00:35:32,627
- And only at the very end did
- he finally give up on them,
- 700
- 00:35:32,652 --> 00:35:35,200
- only when the smell
- of his burning flesh
- 701
- 00:35:35,202 --> 00:35:37,036
- was searing his nostrils,
- 702
- 00:35:37,038 --> 00:35:40,239
- did he see them for
- what they really were.
- 703
- 00:35:41,776 --> 00:35:43,942
- Monsters.
- 704
- 00:35:43,944 --> 00:35:45,366
- Just like you and me.
- 705
- 00:35:45,391 --> 00:35:48,781
- So, Cade damned them in return.
- With his last breath,
- 706
- 00:35:48,783 --> 00:35:51,250
- he let loose a psychic blast so powerful
- 707
- 00:35:51,252 --> 00:35:53,018
- that it created its own world.
- 708
- 00:35:58,893 --> 00:36:00,626
- Call it hell if you want.
- 709
- 00:36:00,628 --> 00:36:02,928
- It doesn't matter what name you give it
- 710
- 00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:05,030
- or whether you believe in it or not.
- 711
- 00:36:05,032 --> 00:36:06,965
- Either way, that is where Cade feeds
- 712
- 00:36:06,967 --> 00:36:09,301
- on the souls of the damned.
- 713
- 00:36:09,303 --> 00:36:12,137
- It's where he waits for you, Stefan.
- 714
- 00:36:13,808 --> 00:36:16,642
- Stop making this about me.
- 715
- 00:36:16,644 --> 00:36:19,144
- I'm trying to help my brother.
- 716
- 00:36:19,146 --> 00:36:21,346
- Oh, but this is about you.
- 717
- 00:36:21,348 --> 00:36:22,881
- Did you really think
- 718
- 00:36:22,883 --> 00:36:25,717
- all your pathetic attempts at atonement
- 719
- 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,853
- would save you from the
- fate that, deep down,
- 720
- 00:36:27,855 --> 00:36:29,988
- you know you deserve?
- 721
- 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:33,459
- A fate befitting the
- glorious Ripper of Monterey?
- 722
- 00:36:37,031 --> 00:36:38,517
- No.
- 723
- 00:36:41,268 --> 00:36:44,169
- That was almost 100 years ago.
- 724
- 00:36:44,171 --> 00:36:45,871
- I'm not that person anymore.
- 725
- 00:36:45,873 --> 00:36:48,257
- It doesn't matter, Stefan.
- 726
- 00:36:48,282 --> 00:36:50,976
- That stain will always be
- on your soul, no matter
- 727
- 00:36:50,978 --> 00:36:53,512
- how hard you try to wash it away.
- 728
- 00:36:53,514 --> 00:36:55,214
- So, stop fighting.
- 729
- 00:36:56,350 --> 00:36:58,484
- It's easier that way.
- 730
- 00:37:00,688 --> 00:37:02,754
- Maybe I do deserve it,
- 731
- 00:37:02,756 --> 00:37:06,525
- but Damon doesn't,
- because I made him what he is.
- 732
- 00:37:07,428 --> 00:37:09,428
- So, if it's my fault,
- 733
- 00:37:09,430 --> 00:37:11,697
- damn me.
- 734
- 00:37:11,699 --> 00:37:13,832
- Not him.
- 735
- 00:37:14,969 --> 00:37:17,402
- Damon's fate is already sealed.
- 736
- 00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:20,739
- I reached into his mind and gave him
- 737
- 00:37:20,741 --> 00:37:23,909
- a look at what awaits him,
- and even that little spoonful
- 738
- 00:37:23,911 --> 00:37:27,146
- was enough to make him flip
- his little humanity switch.
- 739
- 00:37:28,415 --> 00:37:31,129
- He chose to serve Cade for all eternity,
- 740
- 00:37:31,154 --> 00:37:34,419
- rather than experience another
- second in that kind of torment.
- 741
- 00:37:34,421 --> 00:37:37,256
- Damon believes in hell.
- 742
- 00:37:38,759 --> 00:37:41,260
- And soon you will, too.
- 743
- 00:37:42,357 --> 00:37:45,631
- Because you're just as doomed as he is.
- 744
- 00:38:10,124 --> 00:38:11,990
- So Mystic Falls is overrun
- 745
- 00:38:11,992 --> 00:38:13,225
- with supernatural creatures,
- 746
- 00:38:13,227 --> 00:38:16,195
- and... vampires are real.
- 747
- 00:38:16,197 --> 00:38:18,330
- They feed on human blood
- and can even control people
- 748
- 00:38:18,332 --> 00:38:19,765
- if they want to.
- 749
- 00:38:22,803 --> 00:38:25,137
- Okay, so why couldn't
- Damon compel me, then?
- 750
- 00:38:25,139 --> 00:38:27,239
- It's because of that watch I gave you.
- 751
- 00:38:27,241 --> 00:38:29,775
- It's full of something called vervain.
- 752
- 00:38:31,445 --> 00:38:33,612
- A glass of vervain every day
- 753
- 00:38:33,614 --> 00:38:35,981
- keeps the vampires at bay.
- 754
- 00:38:37,451 --> 00:38:39,208
- Yeah. How'd you know that?
- 755
- 00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:40,919
- Something your
- great-grandmother used to say
- 756
- 00:38:40,921 --> 00:38:42,721
- when she was making tea.
- 757
- 00:38:44,325 --> 00:38:47,226
- She was senile
- at the end, and...
- 758
- 00:38:47,228 --> 00:38:48,860
- leaving her behind,
- that was the hardest part
- 759
- 00:38:48,862 --> 00:38:50,495
- about leaving Mystic Falls.
- 760
- 00:38:51,672 --> 00:38:53,465
- Look,
- 761
- 00:38:53,467 --> 00:38:55,133
- Matt, I don't expect you to forgive me
- 762
- 00:38:55,135 --> 00:38:56,435
- for abandoning you.
- 763
- 00:38:56,437 --> 00:38:58,904
- I had my reasons at the time.
- 764
- 00:39:00,407 --> 00:39:03,108
- They don't seem good enough
- now, not even to me.
- 765
- 00:39:05,779 --> 00:39:07,713
- Honestly,
- we all should've got out of that town
- 766
- 00:39:07,715 --> 00:39:09,715
- when we had the chance.
- 767
- 00:39:24,331 --> 00:39:26,465
- Hey, listen, Matt. Why don't you, uh...
- 768
- 00:39:26,467 --> 00:39:28,967
- You know, why don't you take
- a walk? Let me do this.
- 769
- 00:40:28,586 --> 00:40:30,862
- Ah! The intern.
- 770
- 00:40:30,864 --> 00:40:32,331
- Where is my sister?
- 771
- 00:40:32,333 --> 00:40:34,132
- I tried.
- 772
- 00:40:34,134 --> 00:40:36,234
- I tried to free the girl in the cell,
- 773
- 00:40:36,236 --> 00:40:38,003
- just like you asked.
- 774
- 00:40:38,005 --> 00:40:39,237
- And?
- 775
- 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,073
- And, um,
- 776
- 00:40:41,075 --> 00:40:43,342
- she told me to tell you...
- 777
- 00:40:44,278 --> 00:40:46,411
- ...to piss off.
- 778
- 00:40:47,353 --> 00:40:49,848
- She doesn't need your help.
- 779
- 00:40:49,850 --> 00:40:52,117
- Well. I tried.
- 780
- 00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:53,685
- Look,
- 781
- 00:40:53,687 --> 00:40:55,320
- I'm sorry to have to involve you
- 782
- 00:40:55,322 --> 00:40:56,655
- in this, sweetie.
- 783
- 00:40:56,657 --> 00:40:58,223
- It's just that, in this case,
- 784
- 00:40:58,225 --> 00:41:02,094
- I really do have to kill the messenger.
- 785
- 00:41:04,102 --> 00:41:06,365
- By the way. That girl you
- killed in a car accident
- 786
- 00:41:06,367 --> 00:41:07,532
- a few years ago?
- 787
- 00:41:07,534 --> 00:41:09,434
- Kind of a deal breaker.
- 788
- 00:41:09,436 --> 00:41:11,103
- Send Cade my regards.
- 789
- 00:41:30,624 --> 00:41:33,792
- What...?
- 790
- 00:41:33,794 --> 00:41:36,395
- What are you doing?
- 791
- 00:41:40,501 --> 00:41:42,801
- What's happening to me?!
- 792
- 00:41:48,442 --> 00:41:52,104
- No! No!
