Original subtitles

Previously on "the originals"...

Freya: if this prophecy is fulfilled,

you will all fall-- One by friend,

one by foe, and one by family.

We are called the strix,

the oldest society of vampires this world has ever known.

Elijah: marcellus, you would do well

to be selective about the company

you keep in future.

Tristan: aurora has procured the exact location

of rebekah's watery grave in two sealed envelopes.

Hers contained the latitude.

And tristan got the longitude.

[crack]

if you do not bring my sister home,

tristan will die slowly and in tremendous pain.

You must be cami.

[chuckles]

aw, poor dear. Still sleeping?

Well, you have a big day ahead of you.

We should get started.

- Hah! -oL-|!

[tire iron clatters]

that was not nice.

Ok. You and I need to have

a little heart-to heart conversation.

Come along.

What are we doing here?

I heard a rumor these men train here

hoping to be made into vampires,

so I'm going to grant them their wish.

Wait. Please.

I don't know who you are,

but if you have a problem with me, fine.

Just let them go.

Huh, iassumed you knew who I was.

No matter. Allow me to introduce myself.

I am aurora de martel,

long-lost love of niklaus mikaelson.

He and I are having just a little bit of a spat

at the moment, as he took my brother captive.

Now, it's come to my attention that you

are quite precious to him, so I'm taking you,

and these lovely, delicious, delightful specimens

are going to provide incentive.

Once they're in transition, they'll need to feed,

and since you will be the only human blood available,

well, nik had better give me what I want.

Huh! Uh!

Gentlemen, come down.

Quick, quick. Off you pop.

Thank you. Hello.

You two, come on.

Congratulations.

You have all been selected to receive

the highest honor bestowed upon your pitiful species.

Don't do this.

[pants]

- uh! - Uh!

Next?

[footsteps]

the spell is complete.

Tristan cannot cross the boundary

of his own will, but we can enter

and leave as we please.

I took the liberty of injecting him

with hibiscus and mugwort

to counteract any vervain in his system.

All you have to do is compel him

to give you the longitude of rebekah's location.

He says he's immune.

Well, I'll find some other way to make him talk.

Will you?

You're still upset I tortured aurora

without your permission?

Oh, freya, I'm obscenely fond of torture, but, yes,

when I'm entertaining, I like to be the one

to choose precisely when

and how we violate the guests.

Fine. How should we proceed?

Devastate the body, infiltrate the mind,

and steal the information we need.

To that end, I invited a friend.

Elijah, I got your text.

Unless she's violently teething,

I don't recommend this as a day care.

Jack's gone, and I don't know if he's coming back.

I also really don't want to talk about it,

so which one of you will take hope.

While I take my anger out on this pompous dick?

Come here, baby girl.

Bon appetit.

[hisses]

aah!

not a fan of knocking, are we?

I afford courtesy to those in my good graces.

You've fallen short.

Which is why I've called you here.

The whole cami situation has gotten a tad out of hand.

Out of your hand. You put her in danger.

I put her in protective custody.

Her decision to leave was rather ill-advised.

See for yourself.

I would say this does not bode well

for your friend camille.

Aurora is upset

because I have her beloved brother.

She took camille as leverage.

Well, lt'll be the last mistake she ever makes.

Might I suggest you pause just a tick

and think this through?

Move now.

If aurora is upset with you,

might she just be leading you into a trap?

Aurora has neither the means nor the will

to harm me.

So you say, yet she is

a vindictive lunatic.

The prophecy said you and your siblings

would fall-- One by foe,

one by family, one by friend.

What is aurora to you if not a friend

with certain benefits?

Perhaps I should murder my friends,

starting with you.

You are my sire.

I have a vested interest in keeping you alive.

[ding]

which means I won't sit back and watch

while you walk half-cocked into a trap.

I'm coming with you.

Just stay out of my way.

Aurora: it's rather odd you'd be his therapist.

Isn't it true that nik killed your beloved uncle

right about...here?

Yeah.

It was a mercy killing.

"mercy." that is such an odd, little word.

Tell me, was it difficult to watch?

yes.

hmm.

This church hasn't been much luck

for your family, has it?

You know about my brother?

I confess, when I first heard your name,

I was intrigued.

Nik cares for so few people,

so I looked you up.

The internet, it is such a marvel.

I learned all about your storied past.

The insane twin brother slaughters 9 seminary students

and then does himself in.

wow.

Are you enjoying this,

bringing up the tragedies of my life?

Do you get off on being cruel?

Maybe I'm looking for the ways in which we are alike.

See, nik's been obsessed with me for centuries,

and now he's infatuated with you.

What do you think the overlap is between us?

Is it crazy brothers?

Yours was quite mad, and mine, well--

Tristan, I love him,

but he can be a bit daft sometimes.

You know, he likes to have me committed

every so often, hoping to cure

my more eccentric predispositions.

Thanks to him, I've been plunged into ice baths,

bled for melancholia, and exorcized for demons 5--

No, 6-6 times,

and my latest diagnosis is bipolar disorder.

I imagine with your credentials,

you're familiar with it.

And there have been great strides ln--

Shut up, cami.

I prefer not to be condescended to

by someone who only just got her degree.

Now tell me a bit more about you,

starting with how you feel about nik,

and do bear in mind,

I am a stickler for honesty.

Marcel: yeah. I know exactly how big the quarter is.

Stop whining and find her, and when you do, you call me.

Aya: trouble in crescent city?

Nothing I can't handle.

Such hubris, surprising,

given your lack of accomplishment.

Tell that to your boy mohinder.

Oh, that's right. You can't. He's dead.

Your boss killed him right after

I made him look like a chump.

Is that how you recall it?

Yeah. That's pretty much how it went down.

You are a skilled revisionist.

Why not tell me your version of another tale

about the witch regent who was shunned

by her own people?

I don't know that one.

Witch politics isn't my thing.

You were once guardian to davina claire,

and just as she's about to be recruited

by a consortium of the most powerful

vampires in the world, her status as regent

is revoked, making her all but useless.

You have to admit, that's quite a coincidence.

The covens hate me.

You really think that I got them

to impeach their regent?

It would be foolish of you to defy

the very organization that had so recently

granted you membership.

After all, you and your menagerie

of downtrodden vampires have only just begun

to reap the benefits we provide.

The strix have no tolerance for insubordination.

Oh, well, I guess I better pay my dues.

Funny you should mention that.

We do have a favor we require.

Tristan: aah!

[panting]

don't be such a baby, or I'll give you

something to really cry about.

You mistake me, milady.

I cry out only in grief.

I was so struck by your beauty

when I saw you at the gala,

and now, after this affront to my person,

i'll be forced to pluck those lovely almond eyes

from your perfectly shaped skull.

Elijah: my goodness, I could watch this forever,

if only my sister wasn't trapped

in the bottom of the ocean.

Let me ask you again, tristan--

The coordinates, please.

Hmm, if I tell you, you'll just kill me.

The alternative is significantly less pleasant.

I think I'll hold off on any confessions,

at least until the strix arrive to free me

and burn your home to the ground.

I think the pompous dick could use a little more persuasion.

You want to go to war with the mikaelsons.

The mikaelsons declared war

when they took tristan captive.

I'm calling on you as a strix

to come to the aid of your brethren.

By going on a suicide mission.

I assure you, marcel,

I have no suicidal tendencies.

What I do have is a weapon,

one that can take down even an original.

It won't kill them,

but it will subdue them indefinitely.

I used one much like it on your darling rebekah.

That thing can take down an original?

You'll take this, go into the mikaelsons' home

under the guise of friendship,

and then you will drive this stake into elijah's heart.

We will free tristan and imprison the head

of our sire line, all in a single evening.

Do this, and you will have proven

your loyalty to the strix.

Fail, and we will revoke your membership

and your life along with it.

[harmonica playing blues music]

[harmonica continues]

[door closes]

you must be the sister. Freya?

- And who are you? - Name's mary.

I'm a crescent, closest thing your niece

has to a great-grandmother.

- Figure she's napping. - That's right.

And hayley?

She's across the street helping with a family matter.

Was that elijah's idea?

Hayley: yeah. She's fine.

She's a little rough around the edges, but she's family.

Don't worry. I'll be there soon.

Is everything ok?

Just fun with the in-laws.

Jackson's grandmother just showed up,

which is very strange, considering that

he's out sulking in the bayou,

not that I can really blame him, considering

that I didn't try to stop him or run after him,

mainly because I figured

that you would need me here.

You've done more than enough. Go to your family, please.

[trumpet playing jazz music]

lucien: it's typical of aurora, forcing us

to look for one of her needles

in a rather vile haystack.

Yes. It's quite the undertaking,

made all the more onerous by your incessant chatter.

I speak so that I might be listened to.

Aurora clearly has some devious plan in mind,

which begs the question, given how vindictive she is,

why bother playing her game?

I'm not playing for her.

Ah, then-- Then tell me,

what's the best-case scenario?

You save cami today, aurora will just

kill her some other time,

and you can't very well kill aurora,

given she alone has the information

needed to find rebekah.

I'm quite aware of the dilemma, thank you.

Oh, yet you're still determined to rush

into this harpy's trap.

What for? Why do you even care about cami?

I trust her,

which is more than can be said for you.

Now, if you're gonna help me, then help me.

Otherwise, bugger off.

All right.

Ha ha ha!

You really said that to him?

"people are not awful. They want to be good."

Wow, a bit saccharine, no?

Why don't you ask your boyfriend?

You feeling jealous?

It seems as though you are,

and yet you and nik are not lovers.

You admitted so yourself. You've never even kissed.

We're not romantically involved, no,

but I do care about him.

I see that he wants to be more than what he is,

and I don't think you would do much

to help him get there.

You see the good in nik.

Tell me, are you the one to bring it out of him,

the frail, little human that he has manipulated,

abused, and compelled to be everything

from stenographer to spy?

He doesn't care about you, darling.

You're just a thing that he uses from time to time.

That's all.

You can say whatever you want--

I can't stop you--

But I do find it interesting

how angry you are.

I think you're worried.

If there's anything that klaus likes about me,

it's my mind, that I can understand him,

and you,

you are beautiful, and you are powerful,

and you do have a long history together,

but you're worried he doesn't love you,

that maybe he does see the truth--

That your mind,

it's a bit damaged, isn't it?

'ah! - Uh!

[sighs]

I gave this to camille as a gift.

Lucien: ah, so now aurora has you attending church.

Have you not had enough of her leading you

on a leash like some lovesick imbecile?

[panting]

ok. I've had enough. Now let's just--

Let's shine the light back on you, shall we?

Tell me your deepest, darkest secret,

and if I sense that you are holding back, well,

you might not live long enough for nik to get here.

Lucien: will you please listen to me?

All I suggest is that we find another way

to deal with aurora than follow blindly

along her bread-crumb trail.

You know, even as you talk, I cannot help but recall

you were the arrogant wanker

who endangered camille in the first place.

Well, better arrogant than foolish.

Your judgment is off, my friend,

and all because of this mortal girl.

Well, I say, let cami die.

All of your secrets and vulnerabilities

can die with her.

[crack]

ah!

[chanting]

he's as weak as I can make him.

If I push further, I might kill him.

Weak as I am,

you still won't take from me what you seek.

It's an unpleasant thing,

delving into such a depraved and repellant mind.

Tristan

unless you'd like me to fetch the chainsaw,

I recommend you give me what I seek.

[panting]

what did you see?

Just flashes.

He's resisting, but still, th--

There's something else.

It was a word. What is it, tristan, hmm?

What is cepheus?

Marcel: what's next, charades?

While you guys host the world's most messed-up game night,

you've got bigger problems.

Freya, would you mind dealing with this situation, please?

Oh, no offense to your lovely sister,

but you and I need to talk.

I'm here on behalf of the strix,

and I'm not leaving without tristan.

Marcel: elijah, look. The way I see it, you don't have a choice.

Is that so?

How long before the strix decide to come get their guy?

And if they destroy half the quarter in the process--

I can handle the strix.

Oh, you can't even handle tristan.

He's about to o.d. On wolf venom,

and the only thing that you can get

out of him is--is cepheus,

whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

The guy has been around fora millennium.

He can withstand all your vampire mind games,

and if you end up killing him,

we lose rebekah for good.

So what are you suggesting here, marcel,

I simply hand over this wretched fiend

and stand idly by as you set him free?

If I take tristan, make it look like

I busted him out, I get in tighter

with him and the strix.

I can find out where rebekah is

and keep them from declaring war

on the quarter if you trust me.

I will not release that filth.

[sighs]

jack is my grandson.

I love him, stubborn as he is,

and I know he loves you.

Then where is he?

Drinking whiskey, chopping wood,

shooting arrows, gets that way

when he doesn't know what to do,

and--and right now,

he doesn't know how to help you,

which makes sense, seeing as how

you don't know how to help yourself.

What's that supposed to mean?

After all the mikaelsons took from you,

you're still over there playing right along

like you was one of them.

They're my family, mary. They're hope's family.

And when you got married,

jack became your family,

and maybe they need you,

but your husband needs you, too.

There really is no need for this.

You and I have much in common.

For one, we both adore our sisters.

Whatever we have in common, trust me,

it's outweighed by the fact

that I want you dead.

You must have spent centuries looking for your family,

only to find animals, treacherous savages

who betray even one another.

Were you disappointed?

They're my family, my blood.

Such devotion, it is admirable.

I wonder, why does it not extend

to your poor brother finn?

What do you know about finn?

We were acquaintances a thousand years ago.

He was the most noble of your siblings,

and he knew me as a man of my word.

Why not ask him yourself,

assuming that he will speak to you

after what you've put him through?

Aurora: I will not ask again.

Your greatest shame-- Admit it and do not

bother lying because I will know

and then I will end you.

Junior year of college, I was arrested

for assault, battery.

Ooh, fabulous. Now, that's more like it.

Now do go on.

It was some guy.

He was dating my roommate.

She tried to break up with him, so he hit her,

broke her nose.

I tried to get her to go to the police,

the dean, anybody, but she was too scared.

I hated that he was just getting away with it

like nothing ever happened.

I saw him one night at a bar

hitting on a freshman...

So I took a beer bottle,

and I smashed it in his face.

Sss. Ooh.

The next thing I knew, I was kneeling

on his chest and pounding his head

into the floor, and by the time

they pulled me off of him...

Well, he wasn't laughing.

You're not ashamed that you did it. Huh.

You're ashamed that you enjoyed it...

And that's why you study psychology,

to understand your own dark impulses.

Here, I thought I was the shrink.

Ha! Well, I see why nik is so taken with you.

The trouble is, my burgeoning respect

for you is overshadowed by my somewhat puerile jealousy,

so I suppose we've reached the inevitable,

wouldn't you say, my love?

Stop this game.

This is not a game, nik. This is an intervention.

You're in danger of losing the love of your life--

me.

We're finally together after so long apart,

all the world before us, if we can just dodge

a few minor obstacles--like this nuisance of a prophecy,

my brother's internment,

the insufferable influence of elijah--

But what I cannot overcome is your affections

for someone else.

I've waited far too long to share you now.

Call me jealous.

I remember full well the extent of your jealousies,

but what surprises me is that they extend

to the, uh-- The lowly therapist.

Aurora, you can't believe she means anything to me.

But I do believe it, nik. I see it, the fear in your eyes.

Do you actually love her?

You know I love you.

I'm so glad you admitted that.

I wanted cami to hear it...

Before I rip out her throat.

Klaus: honestly, aurora, these petty displays

are so far beneath you.

Wild scavenger hunts, threats against

innocent acquaintances-- They cast you

in a very unflattering light.

Jealousy's more my game.

Oh, would that I didn't have the need for it.

Why should you?

Camille is no rival to you.

Your fears are ridiculous.

Nik, I have no doubt that you love me.

I was just hurt to learn that you would

lower yourself to this distraction

and particularly when she constitutes

a rather fiendish lie.

You were drawn to her under the mistaken belief

that she is pure, and she tells you

that people want to be good, but she's not quite

the ray of unwavering sunshine that you believe her to be.

No. There is a darkness in her.

Why else would she be drawn to the darkness?

Why else would she be drawn to you?

See, I might have my own imperfections,

but at least I am not a fake,

whereas cami here,

well, she's-- She's just an illusion.

- Aurora-- - She's right.

Klaus, everything I ever said to you

is a lie.

[clack]

oh, poor, frail, little thing.

How sad you involved her in all of this.

Marcel: elijah, i'm not finished.

Why don't you run along to your little friends

and remind them that any attack on me

is a really bad idea?

That's not gonna work.

They're as stubborn as you are.

So stay away from them, marcel,

before I interpret your behavior as an act of betrayal.

That's the thing, elijah.

See, I betrayed you before I even got here.

[dorothy's "bang bang bang“ playing]

dorothy martin: n' lay your head down n'

n' down, down n'

n' lay your head down n'

[chanting]

n' down, down n'

agh!

martin: m' my love's gonna pull you down n'

n' down, down n'

h' one shot, and you're 6 feet down ii

you sister put up more of a fight.

Martin: n' down, down n'

took you long enough.

Martin: n' bang, bang, bang n'

n' whoo ooh ooh n'

n' whoo ooh n'

n' I'd do you where you stand n'

ok. I think I have everything.

Yaah!

Martin: n' I'd do you where you stand n'

n' where you stand n'

there's something going on over there.

Hayley, no.

Whatever trouble that is, it ain't yours.

Martin: n' oh, ho, bang, bang, bang n'

n' bang, bang, bang, ooh n'

agh!

elijah!

Uh...

Oh...

uh!

' huh! - Ah!

Agh! Ah!

[couemue]

- agh... - Agh...

[splat]

[couemue]

oh, freya,

things might have been different.

Alas, you chose poorly.

Hey, you need to get him out of here.

Are you giving me an order?

Look. He's too weak to fight,

and elijah's cavalry just got here.

Go now.

Your brother's gonna wake up mad at me.

When he does, be sure to remind him

who his friends are.

[freya whimpers]

oh, you're quite cross, aren't you?

I haven't seen you this mad in a thousand years.

If you don't behave yourself, you'll see a lot worse.

I don't much like that tone,

although, given what I did to rebekah,

I suppose it's to be expected

unless the source of your ire

is the threat I made against your little pet.

Oh...

Uh...

[pants]

uh...

[panting]

hey.

i'm so hungry.

[man moans]

aurora: you really do care about her, don't ycu?

Well, now I suppose I shall have to kill her.

Oh, ooh, are we to play rough now?

Foreplay's changed in the last millennium.

Tell me, can your pathetic cami

excite you the way that I can?

Can she allow you the joy of giving in

to your most wicked desires?

Cami: listen to me, all right?

You're in transition.

You're gonna have to feed on blood.

I know the rules. Marcel told us.

If I don't feed, I die.

Klaus: I tire of this fantasy.

You were someone I left behind long ago.

There is nothing between us now.

You're angry.

We say things to hurt each other when we're angry--

That's what lovers do--

But I know that i'm the one for you,

as I know that you will thank me eventually

for killing your little, human pet.

Back off right now!

Klaus: you presume to know me?

Then know this.

I will gladly end you

for what you did to camille,

but first, I'm gonna make you suffer

in ways your spoiled, little mind

cannot possibly imagine,

and when it's over,

when your sweet recollections

have been rendered obsolete,

you will associate my name with fear

and pain and perhaps the dull realization

- that you... - Ah!

Are nothing to me.

[whimpers]

[panting]

you went into my mind.

And took the only thing I needed from you,

so...

What's to stop me from killing you now?

Cami: I said, get back.

uh!

Rrgh!

But I love you,

and I know that you love me.

Cami: get off me!

[whimpering]

agh!

this stake was imbued with dark magic.

It's strong enough to take down even you.

So apparently, the strix have

no shortage of weapons.

Well, at least they don't have marcel.

I'm not so sure about that.

Look. I know he attacked you,

but he could've used that thing on you,

and he didn't,

and, for what it's worth, he did save me.

And he healed me.

A few minutes more, and I would have been dead.

Do I need to remind you that because of your beloved hero,

tristan is free, rebekah is lost?

This prophecy threatens to devour us still.

Klaus' blood.

I got it from him a while back,

only thing I know that's guaranteed

to heal a wolf bite.

Aye, you've proven quite helpful, marcel.

You have my gratitude.

[tristan panting]

we should go. There's much to do.

Marcel, we'll be in touch.

Wait. So, what, that's it?

You were expecting something more?

Yeah. You're damn right.

Your deputy here came into my home,

threatened me, gave me no choice

but to declare war on the most dangerous

vampires in the world.

Now I'm a marked man.

You talk a lot about my loyalty to the strix.

How about your loyalty to me?

We have every intention of making good on--

Don't give me that.

Today was proof you need me on your side,

but if this is how you treat your friends,

I might not be there.

He's right.

Marcel, you've earned a place at our side

and everything that entails.

Come with us.

[footsteps]

are you ok?

Yeah. I'm doing a lot better than the other guy.

Well, then you're damn lucky

along with being damn foolish.

The mikaelsons are a thousand years old.

You're, what, 25 and with a baby?

The way you risk your life for those people,

it ain't right.

We all risk our lives, mary.

That's just the world that we live in.

Well, maybe, but you go out of your way to help them,

and every time you do, you're tempting fate.

I fight to protect the people I care about,

and if jackson loves me, then he would be here

doing the same thing.

He needs time. I get it.

Just tell him that when he wants to talk,

he should come home.

[cell phone chimes]

strix have numerous corporate assets,

including private airlines.

One of them specializes in cargo jets.

Now, according to marcel,

a vessel they favor the most

has the codename cepheus.

Records show this flight here

left marrakech to miami

the very night our sister was taken.

Now that we have the course,

all we need to do is match the path.

With the latitude I plucked from aurora.

"x" marks the spot.

The very moment we have our sister once again,

tristan and aurora no longer have any leverage

whatsoever, and we are free to deal with them

however we choose.

I recommend something delightfully gruesome.

Just make sure you leave aurora to me.

If you ask me, niklaus is an utter fool,

always has been .

[sobbing]

can I get you anything?

I'm fine.

I mean, my head is throbbing,

but, all things considered--

[madi diaz's "ashes" playing]

well, for tonight, i'd like you to stay here,

where I can protect you.

Camille, I want you to know, what happened today--

Hey, forget about it. It's not your fault.

Diaz: n' fall n'

n' fall to the battleground n'

I have to ask,

right before you showed up,

did you hear what aurora and I were talking about?

Diaz: m' soon the sun will be turning away ij'

your incident at the university,

the man you assaulted.

Diaz: n' leave me no promises n'

I've already compelled some people

to go and kill him.

That's a joke, right?

Doesn't have to be.

Diaz: n' I won't stand to keep watching you stay n'

don't kill anyone for me, please.

Diaz: n' ooh, go n'

whatever you want.

Diaz: n' run through the arrows n'

n' let the reins fall behind you n'

n' race to the shadows n'

it's been a lousy couple of days.

Do you mind if I just close my eyes

for a second?

Diaz: h' lighting up all around you n'

n' ooh hoo hoo n'

n' ooh hoo hoo n'

n' ooh hoo n'

n' ooh hoo hoo n'

n' ooh hoo hoo n'

n' ooh hoo n'

n' feel the weight of your hand in mine n'

n' what's left n'

h' no, I won't stand to keep watching you stay n'

n' race to the shadows n'

n' hold your breath till your heart blooms n'

n' ashes to ashes n'

n' lighting up all around you n'
