All language subtitles for The Vampire Diaries - 04x18 American Gothic

Previously on "The
Vampire Diaries"...

He's dead.

No, no! I can't, I can't!

I can help you. Turn it off.

We're gonna lose her, Damon.

She's ruthless without
her humanity.

The cure's the fastest
way to get it back.

Katherine has the cure.

She's gonna want to cram
it down your throat.

The last thing that you want

is for that cure
to be used on you,

so you bring it to me.

You don't scare me, Silas.

Just a little something
to remember me by.

It's all of Katherine's
former addresses,

including a couple from
the last two months.

You want the cure off the table.

I want to take it.

We can work together.

Why are we stopping?

We've searched 3 cities
in the last 24 hours.

I'm sick of top 40 radio,
and I smell like leather.

And that's my fault?

You are the one who stole the list
of Katherine's possible whereabouts.

Did you ever think that
Damon had bad information?

Have I mentioned I can't stand
the sound of your voice?

Too bad. We're not done.

Get in. Next town.

In a minute.

I'm hungry.

We're not here for a
pub crawl, Elena.

I want the cure.
Katherine has it.

We don't stop until we find her.

I said, in a minute.

Oh, my God. You startled me.

Did I?

Katherine, what are you doing?

You know me?

Of course.

Um, I know most
people around here

prefer you to feed
from the neck,

but I asked you to drink from my wrist.
Remember?

Conniving little bitch
compelled the whole town.

I think we just found Katherine.

What's my full name?

Katherine Pierce.

I love the new 'do, by the way.

So how do you know Katherine?

How do I know who?

Me. How do you know me?

Small town. Everybody
knows everybody.

So everyone here
knows Katherine.

I'm sorry. I don't know
who you're talking about.

She compelled people to
forget all about her

unless she was talking
to them herself.

Clever girl.

How long have we
known each other?

Uh, it's been a while.
I can't remember.

Where do I live?
Where do I work?

I don't know.

Who do I spend time with?
Do I have any friends?

Well, you said we could
all be friends with you

as long as we kept your secret.

What secret?

I...

I don't know.

If they so much as even
scratch the paint on my car.

Why don't you just be
grateful sheriff Forbes

was able to track down the car
after you let them, uh...

You know, steal it from you.

Remind me to send her
some mini-muffins.

Do we really need
10 gallons of gas

or are you making me just lug
this around as punishment?

Well, they ditched your car
after it ran out of fuel.

We got to fill it up.

We got a hundred miles
before we get to Willoughby.

Yeah, well, I don't
remember that name

from the list of places
that I got in New York.

Oh, the list.

You mean the list they stole
from right under your nose

after you let your guard down?

They'll be there.

Sheriff Forbes tracked down the
car they stole after yours.

Screw the muffins.
I'll get her champagne

if Elena is wherever it may be.

Willoughby.

They'll be there.

Let's just hope we get to them
before they get to the cure.

Ooh, silver lining.

If Rebekah takes the
cure, then she's mortal.

And then we can just kill
her right then and there.

Ooh, dark cloud.

Elena stays a vampire forever.

Look, why don't you just table
the revenge fantasies for now

and just keep your
eye on the prize?

Find Katherine, get
the cure, get out

before you get your
neck snapped again.

Believe me, I learned my lesson.

Elena without humanity
is a stone cold bitch.

And I won't trust her until
we get the old Elena back.

Look at that. We're finally on
the same page about something.

Look at that.

Klaus? We need to talk.

What happened to you?

Silas.

He attacked me.

He stabbed me with
the white oak stake.

A piece of it is
still inside me.

My God, Klaus, that
could kill you.

I certainly feel like I'm dying.

And as much as I would
love to watch you die,

you still haven't
found me that cure.

Silas!

That's right.

Last night I looked like Shane.

Today I look like Caroline.

And tomorrow, who knows?

Show me your real face.

Now, why would I do that

when I can look like
whomever I want you to see.

Resist me all you want, Klaus,

but until you bring me the cure,

I will bring you
nothing but misery.

Hey, excuse me. Um...

Did I get any mail today?

What happened to your hair?

I cut it.

In the last two minutes.

I was here two minutes ago?

Are you feeling
okay, Ms. Pierce?

Yeah. I'm... I'm fine.
Um, thanks.

She was here two minutes ago.

That means that she
can't be that far.

How about you check inside?

I'll look in the parking lot.

Okay.

I'm impressed.

I never thought you
would find me here.

Oh, well. It's a
beautiful place to die.

I couldn't agree more.

You've chosen a
beautiful place to die.

Where's the cure?

What, no "I'm here to avenge my
annoying little brother" speech?

People die. We move on.

After turning off our
humanity switch.

So sad for the boys, though.

Their special snowflake
of human frailty...

Gone.

Well, if we're gonna be a while,

I'm gonna go grab some menus.

You're not going anywhere.

I forgot how charming you were.

I'm surprised you
remember me at all,

seeing as though
you were so busy

wedging yourself
between my brothers.

Oh, my God. What happened?

I'm fine, Jolene. You
didn't see anything.

Every minute you two
waste with your yapping

is another minute we give
Stefan and Damon to find us.

Where's the cure?

I'm sorry. I'm on vervain.

Oh, I get to torture it out of you.
Fun.

Why do you two want it anyway?

The question is, why
do you want it?

Let me guess. To kill Niklaus.

I've spent the last 500 years
running from your big brother.

I have no intention of being
within sniffing distance of him.

But since it can be
used against him,

I'm sure he's just itching
to get his hands on it.

I give him the cure, he
gives me my freedom.

Ohh, you poor victim.

Where's the part of your plan

where you screw us over
and somebody dies?

I have no reason
to screw you over.

I know you don't believe
me, but it is the truth.

People change. I'm not
the girl you think I am.

I don't have it on me.

I didn't think you did,

but I'm sure there's something in
that that can help us find it.

Who's 'Em?

A friend.

It says here you're
meeting at 2:00.

I guess I'll just have
to meet 'Em myself.

I got your 50
bajillion messages.

This better be life and death.

Go away.

Klaus? Where are you?

What happened to you?

I need more time.

Stop hounding me!

I'm hounding you?

I am supposed to be running 3
different prom committees right now

and you keep phone stalking me.

Caroline.

Is it really you?

Prove it to me.

Okay. I don't know if this
is some new way of flirting,

but it sucks.

And I have more
important things to do.

Wait, please.

Silas. He stabbed me

with white oak stake.

There's a little piece
of it stuck inside me.

Why would Silas attack you?

Well, I was in no position
to ask questions.

Suffice it to say, I'm hurt.

So you can understand
why I called you.

You ran Tyler out of town,
you killed his mother,

and you think I'm the
person to call for help?

If I die,

you, Tyler,

all of your friends die with me.

What do you want me to do?

Well, it's quite simple, really.

I need you to cut the
stake out of me.

Something's not right.

Katherine Pierce does not
hole up in hickstown, p-a.

Well, this is definitely
the car they stole.

We're in the right place.

Points to them for their
choice of vehicles.

So let me ask you something.

What happens when we find Elena?

How do we get her
back to Mystic Falls?

I mean, she's not exactly
gonna go quietly.

And she has an original
vampire as her bodyguard.

We do whatever we have to do.

I don't care if we have to throw
Rebekah under a school bus

and wrap Elena in a burlap sack.

We do whatever we have to do.

I'm serious.

I am, too. I don't care
what Elena wants right now.

She's this close to going
off the rails for good.

And that ain't happening.

She's a pain enough as it is.

So what happened to
the guy who thought

Elena should embrace
being a vampire,

let the chips fall
where they may.

That guy got his neck
snapped in New York.

And this guy is
royally pissed off.

What do you think? Hmm...

It's close. Not quite
slutty enough.

I think you need more eyeliner.

I'm gonna need your clothes.

Yeah. That's gonna happen.

Fine. Your bracelet,
watch, earrings.

Hand them over.

And your other bracelet.

That's my daylight bracelet.

It's daytime outside.

I'm gonna need it.

Besides, it's not
gonna work on you.

Fine. I really am gonna
need that jacket, though.

All right. Fine, fine, fine.

This will never work, you know?

The bad haircut.

The doe eyes. You'll
never pass for me.

You'll never pass for me.

Throatier and more mannish.

You'll never pass for me.

You two are pathetic.

You two are pathetic.

Oh, perfect. Just the
right level of contempt

and hidden insecurity.

Almost there.
Something's missing.

Your shoes. I want your shoes.

Come on, 'Em.

Mm. You know, it's funny.

I've always been
a little envious

of the legend that
is Katherine Pierce,

the way you could wrap a man
around your little finger,

the way Elijah betrayed
Klaus for you,

the way the Salvatore brothers
stumbled head over heels for you.

And yet here we are
all these years later

in a town that you've had
to compel into liking you.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't laugh.

It's really more sad than funny.

You know you can't split the
cure with Elena, right?

She doesn't want to.

Oh, no? But you do.
You want to take it.

Are you really that dumb
or just naturally blonde?

I want a normal life again.

You mean you want a do-over.

Well, guess what.
You can't have it.

The cure will only take
away your immortality.

Everything else you
hate about yourself,

you'll still wake up with
that in the morning.

And you won't even be able
to compel yourself a friend.

Ladies, playing nice?

There goes the neighborhood.

I see you got Katherine already.

You're losing your
touch, evil one.

Where's Elena?

Katerina.

Elijah.

You're a little
late, aren't you?

You colored your hair.

I like it.

Thank you. I was
actually gonna...

I missed you.

And I've missed you.

This is an interesting little town
you've chosen to settle down in.

So do you have it with you?

Do I have what?

The cure.

It's in a safe place.

Why don't I go and get it.

And then I'll bring it back?

Where's Katherine, Elena?

So let me get this straight,

I tell you where Elena is,

you shove the cure
down her throat,

and then I end up
in a box, right?

I don't think so.

What about you over
there, smiley?

Do you know where she is?

I can give you a hint.

Start by looking at
the town morgue.

She's probably dead.

She went to meet up
with a friend of mine.

You may know him...

An original brother.
Impeccable taste.

Elijah?

Elijah's here?

Well, you sort of
have to question.

Elijah's impeccable taste
if he's friends with you.

Oh, when I say friend,
I mean "Friend."

It probably took him about 10 seconds
to realize that she wasn't me,

at which point he probably yanked
her heart right out of her chest.

All right. Where are they?

Rebekah,

you do realize if something
should happen to Elena,

you have no chance of
finding the cure, right?

Fine. They were supposed to
meet at the gazebo by the park.

I'll go talk to Elijah.

You deal with Elijah.

Katherine will take
us to the cure.

No, she won't.

The cure's my one chance to win
my freedom back from Klaus.

You're gonna broker
a deal with Klaus?

No. She's gonna get Elijah
to broker a deal for her.

That's why you need your
little friend, isn't it?

Some things never
change, Katherine.

Nope.

Fine.

Move.

You have to follow me.

Oh, my God.

You do have a heart.

Oh, my bad. It's
just a bloody rib.

Well, I'm glad you're finding
my misery so amusing.

I swear there's nothing in here.

And if you think I'm
having fun, you're insane.

You killed 12 witches
for your friend Bonnie.

You can't even get your hands
a little dirty for me.

Here I thought we were
becoming friends.

Well, you thought wrong.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You know what?

I'm not sorry.

You deserve to suffer for
everything that you've done.

So today, we're gonna
do things my way.

You want my help? You let
Tyler come back to town,

and give me your word that
you will not hurt him.

Katerina?

Hello. Elijah?

Where is Katherine?

- Where's Elena?
- Safe.

How long she remains
so depends upon you.

Well, I guess the same
goes for Katherine.

Katherine can take care of
herself against the two of you.

Oh. You mean the three of us.

'Cause little sister decided to join
team good guys for the time being.

Put her on the phone.

Oh, she's not here right now.

I left her with Damon
and Katherine.

Tell me where they are.

Relax. No one's gonna get hurt

as long as Katherine
hands over the cure.

Do you understand

how much my sister
despises Katherine?

I assure you, Rebekah
will end her

the moment she
ceases to be of use.

Well, just tell
me where you are,

and we can talk this through.

You listen to me very
carefully, Stefan.

If anything whatsoever
happens to Katherine,

I will descend upon Elena.

You're both idiots.

Excuse me.

Ugh. What happened
to you, Elijah?

I mean, I thought you were
supposed to be a man of honor.

And yet you've been hooking up

with Katherine this entire time?

Well, I suppose
this man of honor

always shared a connection
with Katherine.

She contacted me

when she learned about the cure.

We thought we could be of
mutual use to one another.

"Of mutual use"?

Please. You fell for her trap

just like every other
one of those idiots.

You underestimate me, Elena.

I know who she is.

I know what she's done.

And you think she's changed?

She's playing you. She
lied to you, Elijah.

She didn't lie to me about
your transformation.

You're not just a
vampire, though, are you?

There's something else.

You... you're not yourself.

You've abandoned your emotions.
Why?

My brother's dead.

Your girlfriend killed him.

You didn't know?

Of course you didn't.

She lied.

I hate to say I
told you so, but...

Duh!

No sudden moves.
No tricks either.

No katherine-ing.

A quilt and a fish aquarium.

Who the hell are you?

A very old lady with
dreadful taste.

It's gone.

The cure, it was in the
safe, but it's not there.

Not falling for it.

Where is it, Katherine?

I swear it was in the safe.

What, just like Elijah's
really your boyfriend.

And this is really your life?

And for all we know, this
isn't even your house.

It doesn't look like
the katherine I know.

Maybe you don't know
Katherine at all.

Did it every occur to you

that you have no idea
who I really am?

Did it every occur to you
that you're not that deep?

This whole small-town girl
thing, we know it's an act.

Where is the cure?

Whoa, whoa. Hang on.
We need her alive.

The cure's not here.

You check upstairs.
I'll check down.

I got this.

So if I was a paranoid,

distrustful sociopath,

where would I keep my
most prized possession?

This should be fun.

Because I'd want it to
be close, but not on me.

Accessible but not obvious.

I'd want to keep it safe,

but not so safe that it'd be
too difficult to grab and run.

Well, that is a fancy
little treasure chest.

In a tank with no fish.

I think I'm gonna have
to check that out.

Vervain water.

Looks like we have a winner.

Give it to me or you're dead.

You're gonna kill me anyway.

So what's more
important to you, huh?

Killing me or getting the cure?

Look, Rebekah...

Don't even think about it.

Let's just talk about this,

like the two rational
vampires that we are.

- Rebekah?
- Oh, give it a rest.

Me taking this cure
is the best thing

that'll ever happen to you.

Don't do anything stupid.

Admit it. You don't
want human Elena

running back to Stefan

whilst you're left out
in the cold again.

Go on, Damon.

Tell me why you want
Elena to have the cure.

That's what I thought.

No!

I can feel the splinters
moving towards my heart.

Help me!

Your word first.

And what makes you think I
won't simply break my word?

You want to be friends?

Friendship... stage one.

Show me that I can trust you.

I saved your life...

twice.

Because you put it in danger...

twice.

Why can't you just do

something decent for once?

Because Tyler Lockwood
tried to kill me.

We've all tried to kill you.

And you've tried to
kill most of us.

How do you think
that you deserve

my friendship when you've
done nothing to earn it?

I will not have my
hand forced by you

or anyone else!

What is wrong with you?

I'm reaching out to you
despite everything

that you have done,

and you still can't get
out of your own way.

God! I feel sorry for you.

Don't turn your back on me!

I should have turned my
back on you ages ago!

It's gone.

What?

The pain.

The pain is gone.

Oh, see, it was never there.

He got in my head.

Silas...

got inside my head.

You took my mind off it.

You brought me back, Caroline.

If Silas can make
you, of all people,

believe that you're dying...

What can he do to
the rest of us?

Did you even try to stop her?

You forgot the part where
I was bobbing for boxes

in vervain water.

All you had to do was
stall her, Damon.

Sorry. It's Rebekah.

I didn't have a pony to
distract her, Stefan.

You let her take it, didn't you?

You were never on my side.

Now Elena will be a vampire

for the rest of her life
just like you wanted.

I know what it feels
like to lose a brother.

I'm sorry for your pain. I...

I only hope that you
can find your way back

to yourself someday.

Just like you hope Katherine
will find her way back?

You still think
that innocent girl

you saved from Klaus ages
ago is in there somewhere.

I'd like to think so, yes.

She's not. She's a
monster now, Elijah.

The sweet peasant girl
you fell in love with

way back when is dead.

And she's not coming back.

I'm not a fool, Elena.

Of course this has
occurred to me,

but what kind of man would I be

if I didn't try to
find my Katerina

beneath this Katherine facade?

You boys are all the same.

Damon and Stefan still think

that the girl they love is
still in here somewhere, too.

You can't blame them for
having hope, Elena.

It'd be a shame
if the world lost

a soul as compassionate
as yours.

"Your compassion
is a gift, Elena."

"Carry it with you
always and forever."

I remember reading
that in a letter once.

Well, the writer sounds
positively gifted.

I'm sure he meant what he wrote.

I'm sure he did.

And it felt good to
watch that letter burn

along with my old life

and along with Jeremy's body.

Sorry. I got held up.

How do you feel?

I... I feel good. I...

I feel great.

I feel alive.

Slight problem with
being alive...

I can kill you now.

I'm still a vampire.

The cure didn't work.

It worked just like
she wanted it to.

The cure was a fake.

It must have been a
concentrated shot

of vervain or something.

Katherine.

Oh, come on. She
could use a nap.

It must be exhausting
trying to be me.

You killed Jeremy Gilbert.

Yes, Elijah.

I killed Jeremy Gilbert.

A bombshell, I'm sure.

She just couldn't
wait to drop on you.

Ironic, since she supposedly
doesn't care about anything.

I care.

Do you honestly feel
nothing for this girl,

a girl fated to live

the same life that
you've endured?

And now you've just taken
away the last of her family,

just as yours was
taken away from you.

Uh, why are you looking
at me like I enjoyed it?

Jeremy was collateral damage.

I was doing what I
needed to do to survive.

Is that what I am, too?

A means of survival.

Don't let sweet little
Elena get to you.

She hates me. She wants
you to turn against me

and convince you that
I can't be trusted.

I asked you a question.

No.

Of course you're not
a means of survival.

You looked out for me
when I had no one.

You're giving me a
second chance now

when no one else will.

I love you.

Elijah.

You don't believe me.

I want to.

It's my disease.

I just keep wanting
to believe you,

but how can I when
at every turn,

you give me reason to doubt you?

I don't know you.

I don't know that I ever will.

Wait.

You gave me your word that
you would talk to Klaus.

I... I can't make a
deal without you.

Good-bye, Katherine.

Katherine, hey.

What brings you by at this hour?

I came to retrieve my package.

Oh. Of course. Like I said,

your secret would be safe here.

Hey, um... all the secrecy.

Can I ask, what is it?

It's my freedom.

Wait.

What do you want?

To tell you that you're right.

I've spent so much time running

and lying just to survive

that I don't...

I'm starting to
believe my own lies.

I don't even remember who I was

when we first met.

And I want to find out.

- You have the cure.
- Yeah.

And I can shove this
down Klaus's throat

and try to kill him,

but even if I manage to do it...

I'd lose you.

And I don't want that to happen.

How do I know this
isn't another lie?

Katherine Pierce deceiving
yet another man.

Because I meant what I said

about my feelings for you.

And I'd like to think

that you feel something
for me, too.

I need you to trust me.

I want you to trust me...

Just like I'm trusting you.

You don't owe me anything.

I'm gonna let you decide

where we go from here.

You and Katherine?

And I thought you were
the smart brother.

You don't have a smart brother.

It turns out I'm just as
stupid as the rest of you.

Why don't you just
give me the cure

so I can judge you
silently elsewhere?

And what could you possibly
want with the cure?

I want to be human again.

How do you know
that being human is

the answer you're looking for?

I mean, it's nothing
but a romantic notion.

The grass won't
necessarily be greener,

Rebekah.

You're probably right.

But I don't care.

I want to live a simple
life as a normal person.

And when it ends, it ends.

We've had 20 lifetimes together,

Elijah. Isn't that enough?

I just don't understand.

I mean, why must you always
consider our family a burden?

Always and forever.

I mean, those words are as important
to me today as they ever were.

You will always be my brother.

And I will never
stop loving you.

But now it's time for me to live
and die the way that I choose,

not the way you and
Nik want me to.

Please.

Please just give me the cure.

What do you want, Nik?

An update on our search
for the elusive cure.

Let's just say that things
have gotten complicated.

In fact, why don't you speak to
one of those complications? Here.

Complication speaking.

Big brother.

At last you join the fray.

Somebody had to take charge.

And now that I have,
I've got the cure

and I'm bringing it
back to Mystic Falls.

With a long list of
demands, I assume.

Not that long.

Come home, brother.

We'll settle this like family.

I used all your bleach.

Thank you for helping me.

Yeah.

Well, if you need
anything else...

don't call me.

I have a prom to plan.

Friends then?

Are you gonna let Tyler
come back into town?

You might have noticed...

I'm not exactly scouring
the earth for him, am I?

All right. You're right.

I let Rebekah take the cure.

I thought for a second...

I mean, literally
just a second...

if Rebekah takes this, then
all my problems go away.

And I couldn't think
of one good reason

to give it to Elena.

And then Rebekah took it.

And I realized how
badly I screwed up.

So what's your point, Damon?

My point is, I'm sorry, okay?

I had a moment of
weakness, Stefan.

It's my thing.

It's like you and I falling
for the same girl.

It's our thing.

Was our thing.

Look, we've been making the
same mistakes for 150 years.

We can judge Katherine
all we want,

but we keep repeating our own
history just like she is.

Nothing ever changes.
It has to stop, Damon.

What are you talking about?

I'm done.

I can't keep reliving
my life like this.

I owe Elena her shot
at being normal again.

Once we give her the cure,

I'm getting her out of my life and
I'm getting a life of my own.

Okay.

Okay, let's just... get the cure

and then we'll talk about

you riding off into the
sunset all by you lonesome.

You still want to get the cure.

Even if that means
you might lose her.

It's a chance I'm willing
to take, Stefan.

Guess all we have to
do is convince her.

Sit anywhere you like.

You all right?

What's up with the
silent treatment.

You are the one that text
us, wanted to meet up.

You know I don't want the cure.

You need to know
that I never will

and I'm done talking about it.
So...

Will you accept that?

And let me be who I am or not.

Yeah, no.

Elena, this isn't you.

It is now.

And you two really
need to accept it.

'Cause if you don't, there
will be consequences.

Listen, I was in the exact same
situation that you are in right now.

My emotions were
off, I wasn't me.

And you refuse to accept that.

You didn't give up on me.

You didn't stop until
you pull me back.

Let me just top that up for you.

Thanks.

Like I said, consequences.

That's one body you
are responsible for.

If you keep trying to fix me,

there'll be a second,

a twentieth, and a hundred.

It's your choice.

Still want to riding
off into the sunset?
