than your craving for blood

- This was a murder.

you just ask Rick

Dr. Fell is
the one who shot me.

Because you came at her
with a knife.

found hidden in her things.

I mean, the guy was
practically stabbed to death.

Well, Dr. Fell
suggested his wounds
55
00:02:49,492 --> 00:02:50,659
could have been
self-inflicted.
56

I stabbed myself?

00:08:10,029 --> 00:08:12,230
Surprised you came.
183
00:08:12,231 --> 00:08:14,366
And miss
the funeral of...
184
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:16,017
What do you call him?
185
00:08:16,018 --> 00:08:17,519
Uncle Zachariah?
186
00:08:20,306 --> 00:08:21,706
I see you're
still mad at me.
187
00:08:21,707 --> 00:08:24,159
Why would I be mad
at you, Stefan?
188
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,994
You made me
become a vampire,
189
00:08:25,995 --> 00:08:28,747
and now I walk the world alone
drinking other people's blood.
190
00:08:28,748 --> 00:08:31,499
Any chance you took it all
out on our nephew Zachariah?
191
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,584
If I'm not mistaken,
192
00:08:32,585 --> 00:08:34,886
you were the one who
killed our family members.
193
00:08:34,887 --> 00:08:36,471
May our father
rest in peace.
194
00:08:36,472 --> 00:08:38,506
I'm not like that
anymore, Damon.
195
00:08:38,507 --> 00:08:40,809
Well, congratulations,
Stefan.
196
00:08:40,810 --> 00:08:43,762
If you'll excuse me, I'd like
to live out my eternal existence
197
00:08:43,763 --> 00:08:45,764
as far away from you
as possible.
198
00:08:48,401 --> 00:08:49,634
Damon, wait.
199
00:08:52,405 --> 00:08:54,639
Let's grab a drink,
200
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,807
catch up.
201
00:09:01,213 --> 00:09:02,980
I've missed you,
brother.
202
00:09:08,371 --> 00:09:10,538
Sure.
203
00:09:10,539 --> 00:09:11,906
Why not?
204
00:09:15,795 --> 00:09:17,212
Damon: What do
you say, brother?
205
00:09:17,213 --> 00:09:18,430
You wanna go get drunk?
206
00:09:18,431 --> 00:09:21,800
Ah. I get it.
207
00:09:21,801 --> 00:09:23,101
I get it.
208
00:09:23,102 --> 00:09:24,053
You're bored.
209
00:09:24,054 --> 00:09:25,720
Your best friend's
in jail,
210
00:09:25,721 --> 00:09:27,639
and you don't have
anything better
211
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,307
- to do with yourself.
- Well, there's that.
212
00:09:29,308 --> 00:09:30,725
And...
213
00:09:30,726 --> 00:09:33,845
I was hoping you could
help me solve a murder.
214
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:47,401
Thank you for meeting
with me, mayor.
215
00:09:47,402 --> 00:09:49,403
I figured as head of the
preservation society,
216
00:09:49,404 --> 00:09:51,105
you'd be
a good person to ask
217
00:09:51,106 --> 00:09:52,656
about the oldest trees
in this community.
218
00:09:52,657 --> 00:09:55,076
A long line of Lockwood women
used to keep those records
219
00:09:55,077 --> 00:09:58,278
back before any of them
had actual jobs.
220
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:00,247
I've been
to the founders archive,
221
00:10:00,248 --> 00:10:04,001
but I can't seem to find any
record of the tree I'm looking for.
222
00:10:04,002 --> 00:10:05,669
It probably
got cut down.
223
00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:09,056
Big old trees built half
this town in the 1900s.
224
00:10:09,057 --> 00:10:11,892
Damon: Ho.
She-devil, 9 o'clock.
225
00:10:11,893 --> 00:10:14,261
[Music playing]
226
00:10:20,652 --> 00:10:22,186
Do you happen
to know who kept
227
00:10:22,187 --> 00:10:23,854
the milling ledgers
during that period?
228
00:10:23,855 --> 00:10:25,940
Back then,
all the logging mills
229
00:10:25,941 --> 00:10:27,858
were owned
by the Salvatores.
230
00:10:32,313 --> 00:10:34,248
So what does
the Cal examiner,
231
00:10:34,249 --> 00:10:36,867
bill Forbes,
and Alaric Saltzman have in common?
232
00:10:36,868 --> 00:10:38,035
[Tapping ring]
233
00:10:38,036 --> 00:10:40,287
Come on.
Knock it off.
234
00:10:41,790 --> 00:10:42,757
Ahem.
235
00:10:42,758 --> 00:10:44,992
You know, quitting blood
cold Turkey
236
00:10:44,993 --> 00:10:47,995
after a ripper binge,
probably not the best approach.
237
00:10:47,996 --> 00:10:50,047
Every time you play
that all-or-nothing game,
238
00:10:50,048 --> 00:10:52,099
you eventually leave
a trail of bodies,
239
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:53,834
so I'm thinking
now's a good time
240
00:10:53,835 --> 00:10:55,886
to pay our old friend
moderation a visit.
241
00:10:55,887 --> 00:10:58,088
They were all on
the founders council, Damon.
242
00:10:58,089 --> 00:10:59,723
That's what
they have in common.
243
00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:00,774
But why them, huh?
244
00:11:00,775 --> 00:11:03,194
Brian Walters
and Alaric
245
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:04,562
weren't from
founding families.
246
00:11:04,563 --> 00:11:06,113
I mean, hey,
247
00:11:06,114 --> 00:11:08,782
if you gotta slaughter
council members, go a-list.
248
00:11:08,783 --> 00:11:11,452
At least in 1912,
they killed a Salvatore.
249
00:11:11,453 --> 00:11:13,654
Rebekah: Which Salvatore
would that be?
250
00:11:16,458 --> 00:11:18,159
You'll have to agree,
sheriff,
251
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,443
there's no motive here.
252
00:11:19,444 --> 00:11:21,428
Look, both
the medical examiner
253
00:11:21,429 --> 00:11:24,498
and my ex-husband got into
altercations with Meredith Fell
254
00:11:24,499 --> 00:11:25,467
before their deaths.
255
00:11:25,468 --> 00:11:27,251
Now, she said
you were a witness
256
00:11:27,252 --> 00:11:29,136
to her fight
with Brian Walters.
257
00:11:29,137 --> 00:11:31,705
So what are you saying,
that I was defending hehono
258
00:11:31,706 --> 00:11:32,806
I barely knew her then.
259
00:11:32,807 --> 00:11:34,241
She said she also told
you bill threatened
260
00:11:34,242 --> 00:11:35,476
to report her
to the medical board
261
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:37,178
for giving him
vampire blood.
262
00:11:37,179 --> 00:11:38,429
No, she didn't.
263
00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:40,681
A 2 a.M. Call
on the night he was killed?
264
00:11:40,682 --> 00:11:42,983
I pulled your records.
265
00:11:42,984 --> 00:11:45,436
You spoke with her
for over an hour.
266
00:11:49,274 --> 00:11:50,608
Ok. I, uh...
267
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,445
Yes, I...
268
00:11:54,446 --> 00:11:57,164
I remember
calling her, but I...
269
00:11:57,165 --> 00:11:59,750
I was drinking,
and I...
270
00:11:59,751 --> 00:12:01,785
I don't remember
the conversation.
271
00:12:01,786 --> 00:12:04,905
Well, do you have an alibi for
the night Brian Walters was killed?
272
00:12:04,906 --> 00:12:07,508
I was there the night of
the bridge fundraiser, ok,
273
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:09,026
until midnight.
You saw me there.
274
00:12:09,027 --> 00:12:12,079
Time of death was
between 1:00 and 3 a.M.
275
00:12:12,931 --> 00:12:14,882
Well, then, I...
276
00:12:14,883 --> 00:12:19,186
I must have been home
sleeping, I'm sure.
277
00:12:19,187 --> 00:12:20,804
I'm sure of it.
278
00:12:22,357 --> 00:12:25,442
So Zachariah Salvatore
was your nephew?
279
00:12:25,443 --> 00:12:28,896
Well, our father knocked up one
of the maids during the civil war.
280
00:12:28,897 --> 00:12:29,930
She had a son.
281
00:12:29,931 --> 00:12:31,699
But as far
as everyone else knew,
282
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,033
Stefan and I were dead.
283
00:12:33,034 --> 00:12:34,652
Family name
had to go somewhere.
284
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:37,238
And, uh, your family owned
the logging mills back then.
285
00:12:37,239 --> 00:12:39,707

a lot of questions.

after all.

catch the killer?

Nope.

Yeah, maybe it was
a vampire, Damon.

Don't think for a second you
didn't cross my mind, too, brother.

But these murders weren't
your style, were they?

Plus there were no other
vampires circulating then.

Well, there was
one other vampire.

Although then
she married him,

so I guess that says
more about her.

Ok, you're making
all of this up.

How would you know?
363
00:15:54,969 --> 00:15:57,654
You took pity on a borderline
alcoholic vampire hunter,
364

to look any deeper.

do this to him?

Don't you think the police
already combed through this place?
384
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,498
She handed over
everything she had.
385
00:17:01,499 --> 00:17:04,968
Yeah, I'm looking for the evidence
that she didn't hand over.

we should be investigating?

There's no way
she could stab 3 grown men.

That's a bit sexist.

my brother.
536
00:24:32,116 --> 00:24:34,617
[Sighs] Think I'm gonna need
some help with this one.
537
00:24:34,618 --> 00:24:36,887
What can I do?
538
00:24:38,423 --> 00:24:40,223
Damon: Hmm.
539
00:24:47,565 --> 00:24:48,565
Hello.
540
00:24:48,566 --> 00:24:49,850
Hi.
541
00:24:49,851 --> 00:24:51,435
This may seem
very forward,
542
00:24:51,436 --> 00:24:52,986
but you're just
so pretty.
543
00:24:52,987 --> 00:24:53,971
Thank you.
544
00:24:53,972 --> 00:24:55,539
And please
don't scream.
545
00:24:55,540 --> 00:24:57,908
You're about to have
a very, very bad night.
546
00:25:05,833 --> 00:25:08,151
Stop. Stop it.
547
00:25:10,121 --> 00:25:11,421
Sorry, brother.
548
00:25:11,422 --> 00:25:13,123
It's dinnertime.
549
00:25:13,124 --> 00:25:15,092
Have a bite.
550
00:25:15,927 --> 00:25:18,211
What are you doing?
Tough love, Stefan.
551
00:25:18,212 --> 00:25:20,797
You're not gonna survive this
cold-Turkey thing. You never do.
552
00:25:20,798 --> 00:25:23,433
It's time to get
that monkey off your back.
553
00:25:24,602 --> 00:25:25,602
No.
554
00:25:25,603 --> 00:25:27,670
Feed...
555
00:25:27,671 --> 00:25:29,773
Or I'll let rebekah
have her way with her.
556
00:25:29,774 --> 00:25:31,475
You know
she'll kill her.
557
00:25:31,476 --> 00:25:32,442
Oh, I will.
558
00:25:32,443 --> 00:25:34,111
Then her blood'll
be on your hands.
559
00:25:34,112 --> 00:25:35,979
Or you can just
have a little drink,
560
00:25:35,980 --> 00:25:38,315
save her life.
Come on, Stefan.
561
00:25:38,316 --> 00:25:40,117
You were the one
that said you didn't want
562
00:25:40,118 --> 00:25:42,869
any more innocent life
slaughtered.
563
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:43,904
Save her.
564
00:25:43,905 --> 00:25:45,789
Go on.
Have a bite.
565
00:25:45,790 --> 00:25:47,207
I snatched.
You eat. I erase.
566
00:25:47,208 --> 00:25:49,292
Hell, I'll even heal her
for you when it's over.
567
00:25:49,293 --> 00:25:50,460
Why are you doing this?
568
00:25:50,461 --> 00:25:52,162
You know what blood
does to me.
569
00:25:52,163 --> 00:25:53,663
'Cause you let it
controntyou.
570
00:25:53,664 --> 00:25:55,132
You always have.
I'm just here
571
00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:57,134
to help you learn
how to fight it.
572
00:25:57,135 --> 00:25:59,035
This is rubbish.
573
00:26:14,552 --> 00:26:17,187
That's it, Stefan.
574
00:26:26,781 --> 00:26:28,999
I got it from here.
Go ahead.
575
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,283
Night's just
getting started.
576
00:26:30,284 --> 00:26:31,868
Scram.
No one likes a lurker.
577
00:26:31,869 --> 00:26:34,120
You're a real ass,
you know.
578
00:26:34,121 --> 00:26:35,705
So I'm told.
579
00:26:37,625 --> 00:26:39,676
All right,
that's enough.
580
00:26:39,677 --> 00:26:41,178
Come on.
You're gonna bleed her dry.
581
00:26:41,179 --> 00:26:42,179
You're gonna drain her.
582
00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:44,181
Come on.
583
00:26:45,249 --> 00:26:47,250
[Growls]
584
00:26:47,251 --> 00:26:48,219
I said that's enough.
585
00:26:48,220 --> 00:26:50,220
Hey, you wanna
fight hunger,
586
00:26:50,221 --> 00:26:51,805
or you wanna fight me?
587
00:26:52,690 --> 00:26:54,524
I got you.
588
00:26:56,027 --> 00:26:57,861
That's a good girl.
589
00:26:57,862 --> 00:26:59,729
Elena: What are
you doing?
590
00:27:04,268 --> 00:27:06,486
Stefan.
591
00:27:12,610 --> 00:27:14,944
Elena.
592
00:27:15,779 --> 00:27:17,447
What are
you two doing?
593
00:27:17,448 --> 00:27:18,415
Damon: Relax, Elena.
594
00:27:18,416 --> 00:27:20,250
Just a little
experiment.
595
00:27:20,251 --> 00:27:23,587
There's no need to make this more
dramatic than it needs to be.
596
00:27:23,588 --> 00:27:26,172
Elena, let's just go.
597
00:27:28,593 --> 00:27:30,793
Elena!
598
00:27:42,690 --> 00:27:44,357
So...
599
00:27:45,192 --> 00:27:47,410
That's gonna take
a little time.
600
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:53,917
Stefan. Wait. Hey.
601
00:27:53,918 --> 00:27:55,652
Stefan, wait.
602
00:28:13,708 --> 00:28:15,959
Just say it.
603
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,545
I just don't get it,
your thing with them.
604
00:28:18,546 --> 00:28:21,297
I know it doesn't
make sense.
605
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,186
But at the beginning,
606
00:28:26,187 --> 00:28:28,304
after my parents died,
607
00:28:28,305 --> 00:28:30,673
there was something
about being with Stefan
608
00:28:30,674 --> 00:28:31,642
that just...
609
00:28:31,643 --> 00:28:34,427
[Music playing]
Felt safe.
610
00:28:34,428 --> 00:28:36,446
Safe?
611
00:28:36,447 --> 00:28:37,781
Elena,
he's a vampire.
612
00:28:37,782 --> 00:28:39,015
I know, believe me.
613
00:28:39,016 --> 00:28:42,652
Just saying it out loud
sounds crazy, but...
614
00:28:44,121 --> 00:28:48,658
It's like I knew
that he would never stop loving me,
615
00:28:48,659 --> 00:28:50,693
like he would never...
616
00:28:50,694 --> 00:28:53,496
What?
617
00:28:55,916 --> 00:28:57,550
Die.
618
00:28:59,036 --> 00:29:01,154
Like he would never die.
619
00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:08,478
Like your parents did.
620
00:29:11,715 --> 00:29:13,483
And Damon?
621
00:29:18,272 --> 00:29:22,992
Damon just sort of
snuck up on me.
622
00:29:23,861 --> 00:29:25,095
He got under my skin,
623
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:27,330
and no matter
what I do, I just...
624
00:29:28,199 --> 00:29:29,682
I can't shake him.
625
00:29:31,669 --> 00:29:34,037
Once you fall
in love with someone,
626
00:29:34,038 --> 00:29:35,421
I don't know if...
627
00:29:35,422 --> 00:29:38,625
I don't know if you
can ever shake 'em.
628
00:29:50,587 --> 00:29:51,587
I'm sorry.
629
00:29:51,588 --> 00:29:55,191
Is... is this weird?
630
00:29:55,192 --> 00:29:58,478
Talking about them
with you?
631
00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:01,764
No.
632
00:30:01,765 --> 00:30:03,983
Not really.
633
00:30:05,402 --> 00:30:07,270
I got you
something.
634
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,658
The journal?
635
00:30:11,659 --> 00:30:14,043
It's your family's.
You should have it.
636
00:30:14,044 --> 00:30:15,712
Meredith and
that idiot deputy
637
00:30:15,713 --> 00:30:16,946
were too busy
questioning you
638
00:30:16,947 --> 00:30:18,614
to give a damn
about me.
639
00:30:20,217 --> 00:30:21,450
Sometimes it pays
640
00:30:21,451 --> 00:30:23,169
to be
the only normal one
641
00:30:23,170 --> 00:30:24,637
in a town
of vampires.
642
00:30:24,638 --> 00:30:25,655
[Chuckles]
643
00:30:25,656 --> 00:30:27,607
Practically invisible.
644
00:30:38,819 --> 00:30:39,819
Are you ok?
645
00:30:39,820 --> 00:30:40,820
Yeah. Yeah.
646
00:30:40,821 --> 00:30:42,138
I'm all right.
647
00:31:17,424 --> 00:31:19,659
They let Ric go.
648
00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:22,362
Sheriff Forbes said
she's out of suspects again,
649
00:31:22,363 --> 00:31:24,931
but Ric is in the clear.
650
00:31:30,354 --> 00:31:33,356
I know it may not
seem like it, but...
651
00:31:33,357 --> 00:31:35,775
You did really well
tonight.
652
00:31:37,945 --> 00:31:39,462
I mean,
before you know it,
653
00:31:39,463 --> 00:31:41,431
you're gonna be
the king of moderation.
654
00:31:44,385 --> 00:31:45,518
Elena will understand.
655
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:47,637
Doesn't really matter
what Elena thinks.
656
00:31:47,638 --> 00:31:49,138
Uh-uh. None of that.
657
00:31:50,307 --> 00:31:52,541
No more
no humanity Stefan.
658
00:31:52,542 --> 00:31:55,061
There's a road
called recovery,
659
00:31:55,062 --> 00:31:56,763
and we are on it.
660
00:31:58,065 --> 00:32:00,400
Why do you even care,
huh?
661
00:32:00,401 --> 00:32:02,435
The whole
brother-bonding thing,
662
00:32:02,436 --> 00:32:04,404
getting Elena
to hate you.
663
00:32:04,405 --> 00:32:07,273
Why, you feel guilty because you
kissed her? Is that it, Damon?
664
00:32:07,274 --> 00:32:09,475
Because you can stop.
Go back to hating me.
665
00:32:09,476 --> 00:32:10,810
It was a lot easier.
666
00:32:10,811 --> 00:32:12,495
Can you for one minute
actually believe
667
00:32:12,496 --> 00:32:13,913
that I'm trying
to help you?
668
00:32:13,914 --> 00:32:15,999
I don't need your help.
669
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,417
Don't need my...
670
00:32:18,252 --> 00:32:20,236
Are you kidding me?
671
00:32:20,237 --> 00:32:22,705
Do you remember what happened
last time you said that?
672
00:32:22,706 --> 00:32:23,906
What are you talking about?
673
00:32:23,907 --> 00:32:26,342
1912, Stefan,
674
00:32:26,343 --> 00:32:30,046
the last time I convinced
you to drink human blood.
675
00:32:30,047 --> 00:32:31,764
Go ahead, Stefan.
676
00:32:31,765 --> 00:32:32,915
Pick one.
677
00:32:32,916 --> 00:32:34,467
They're people, Damon.
678
00:32:34,468 --> 00:32:36,019
Yes, they are
people, Stefan,
679
00:32:36,020 --> 00:32:38,438
people with blood pumping
through their veins,
680
00:32:38,439 --> 00:32:43,176
waiting to be opened
up and sucked dry.
681
00:32:43,177 --> 00:32:45,761
You've just forgotten
how good it feels.
682
00:32:46,613 --> 00:32:49,649
So had I, but sage,
683
00:32:49,650 --> 00:32:51,534
she reminded me...
[Heart beating]
684
00:32:51,535 --> 00:32:53,152
It's worth it.
685
00:32:53,153 --> 00:32:54,654
It's all worth it.
686
00:32:59,776 --> 00:33:02,045
Not him, Stefan.
687
00:33:02,046 --> 00:33:04,464
Not him...
688
00:33:05,883 --> 00:33:06,883
Her.
689
00:33:06,884 --> 00:33:08,134
[Gasps]
690
00:33:08,135 --> 00:33:09,836
She's the one.
691
00:33:11,955 --> 00:33:13,622
I don't do that
anymore.
692
00:33:13,623 --> 00:33:14,924
But you can, Stefan.
693
00:33:14,925 --> 00:33:17,260
We can.
694
00:33:17,261 --> 00:33:19,896
Let the past
be the past.
695
00:33:21,065 --> 00:33:24,317
Have a drink
with me, brother.
696
00:33:36,296 --> 00:33:39,198
I knew you still
had it in you.
697
00:33:46,790 --> 00:33:47,990
Don't be greedy.
698
00:33:47,991 --> 00:33:49,825
[Growls]
699
00:33:52,162 --> 00:33:54,263
Stefan. Stefan.
700
00:34:08,695 --> 00:34:11,013
Oh, my God.
701
00:34:11,014 --> 00:34:12,448
Oh, my God.
702
00:34:12,449 --> 00:34:15,034
Help me.
703
00:34:15,035 --> 00:34:16,319
Stefan, stop.
704
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,287
Stefan, stop.
705
00:34:17,288 --> 00:34:18,321
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
706
00:34:18,322 --> 00:34:19,455
Stefan, stop.
707
00:34:19,456 --> 00:34:21,457
What did you do to me?!
708
00:34:21,458 --> 00:34:22,492
Stefan.
709
00:34:22,493 --> 00:34:24,577
What did you do to me?
710
00:34:28,382 --> 00:34:29,499
[Muttering]
711
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,218
You just need to learn
when to stop.
712
00:34:32,219 --> 00:34:33,536
I can help you.
713
00:34:33,537 --> 00:34:35,004
I don't need
your help.
714
00:34:37,474 --> 00:34:40,226
Damon: The founders council
killer had nothing on you.
715
00:34:40,227 --> 00:34:44,013
By decade's end, they were calling
you the ripper of monterey.
716
00:34:45,165 --> 00:34:47,934
I let you walk away.
717
00:34:51,288 --> 00:34:53,222
I watched you
go over the edge,
718
00:34:53,223 --> 00:34:55,658
and I didn't do
anything to stop you.
719
00:35:00,247 --> 00:35:01,948
You couldn't have.
720
00:35:02,833 --> 00:35:04,867
Sure, I could have.
721
00:35:07,204 --> 00:35:09,405
But I just
didn't want to.
722
00:35:14,728 --> 00:35:16,579
But I want to now.
723
00:35:17,431 --> 00:35:18,965
Whenever you go too far,
724
00:35:18,966 --> 00:35:20,850
I will be there
to pull you back,
725
00:35:20,851 --> 00:35:23,636
every second, every day
726
00:35:23,637 --> 00:35:25,555
till you don't need me.
727
00:35:26,857 --> 00:35:28,307
Why?
728
00:35:32,429 --> 00:35:34,096
'Cause right now...
729
00:35:36,817 --> 00:35:38,734
You're all I got.
730
00:35:55,179 --> 00:35:57,258
Hey, I was gonna
make some coffee.
731
00:35:57,259 --> 00:35:58,893
I'm good.
732
00:35:58,894 --> 00:36:01,469
Gonna head to bed
in a few.
733
00:36:03,965 --> 00:36:06,184
Hey, listen, Elena.
734
00:36:06,185 --> 00:36:09,987
The, uh...
The sheriff told me
735
00:36:09,988 --> 00:36:12,657
about everything
you did today, and...
736
00:36:12,658 --> 00:36:14,442
While I appreciate it,
737
00:36:14,443 --> 00:36:18,946
I don't want you getting in
trouble because of me, ok?
738
00:36:18,947 --> 00:36:22,650
If not for you, for who?
739
00:36:22,651 --> 00:36:23,984
Well, still, I...
740
00:36:23,985 --> 00:36:26,420
I'm the one who's supposed
to look after you,
741
00:36:26,421 --> 00:36:29,657
even if
I suck at it.
742
00:36:29,658 --> 00:36:30,675
Ok, well,
743
00:36:30,676 --> 00:36:32,660
how 'bout we just agree
744
00:36:32,661 --> 00:36:35,379
to take care of
each other, then?
745
00:36:36,932 --> 00:36:39,767
Heh. Deal.
746
00:36:39,768 --> 00:36:41,001
[Chuckles]
747
00:36:41,002 --> 00:36:42,436
What are you
reading there?
748
00:36:43,505 --> 00:36:44,805
Old family journal.
749
00:36:44,806 --> 00:36:47,024
Any juicy
family secrets?
750
00:36:47,025 --> 00:36:48,509
It's hard to tell.
751
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:51,562
I mean, at first, I thought it
was Jonathan Gilbert's journal,
752
00:36:51,563 --> 00:36:53,781
but it ended up being
his granddaughter's,
753
00:36:53,782 --> 00:36:57,318
who apparently went
just as crazy as he did,
754
00:36:57,319 --> 00:37:01,289
so great genes, huh?
755
00:37:01,290 --> 00:37:04,692
Well, at least you have
something to look forward to.
756
00:37:04,693 --> 00:37:05,793
Good night, Ric.
757
00:37:05,794 --> 00:37:07,745
Night.
758
00:37:10,198 --> 00:37:12,366
[Playing piano]
759
00:37:16,171 --> 00:37:20,508
So I, uh... I dug into the old
family archives from the early 1900s.
760
00:37:20,509 --> 00:37:22,660
So now you want
to be helpful.
761
00:37:24,713 --> 00:37:27,181
Want me to go back
to being mad at you?
762
00:37:30,435 --> 00:37:31,435
What'd you find?
763
00:37:31,436 --> 00:37:34,054
Well, nothing from 1912.
764
00:37:34,055 --> 00:37:35,740
They never
did arrest anyone
765
00:37:35,741 --> 00:37:37,441
for the founders' murders,
766
00:37:37,442 --> 00:37:41,195
but they did get
a confession 10 years later.
767
00:37:41,196 --> 00:37:43,781
They did? Who?
768
00:37:43,782 --> 00:37:47,201
Jonathan Gilbert's
granddaughter Samantha.
769
00:37:47,202 --> 00:37:48,703
They assumed
she was crazy,
770
00:37:48,704 --> 00:37:50,838
locked her up
in an insane asylum.
771
00:37:50,839 --> 00:37:51,839
Then what?
772
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,274
Trail ends there.
773
00:37:53,275 --> 00:37:54,792
I mean,
she was a founder.
774
00:37:54,793 --> 00:37:57,411
You know they like
to look out for their own.
775
00:37:57,412 --> 00:37:59,079
Samantha Gilbert.
776
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,383
That is very weird.
777
00:38:02,384 --> 00:38:03,601
Why?
778
00:38:03,602 --> 00:38:06,920
Because I'm pretty sure
I had already killed her.
779
00:38:08,890 --> 00:38:11,025
I know what this
looks like.
780
00:38:11,026 --> 00:38:12,343
Yeah? Well,
I sure as hell don't.
781
00:38:12,344 --> 00:38:14,094
You shoot me,
you have me thrown in jail,
782
00:38:14,095 --> 00:38:15,363
and then you
have me freed.
783
00:38:15,364 --> 00:38:16,530
I did it for you, Ric.
784
00:38:16,531 --> 00:38:18,916
I forged the coroner's note
to clear your name.
785
00:38:18,917 --> 00:38:20,651
Oh. You know what?
People are right.
786
00:38:20,652 --> 00:38:22,153
You are psycho.
Yeah...
787
00:38:22,154 --> 00:38:23,704
Now that you've
been cleared,
788
00:38:23,705 --> 00:38:24,705
they'll look
somewhere else.
789
00:38:24,706 --> 00:38:26,040
They won't look
your way again.
790
00:38:26,992 --> 00:38:29,243
Please,
you have no reason,
791
00:38:29,244 --> 00:38:31,612
but I need you
to trust me anyway.
792
00:38:32,447 --> 00:38:34,999
If you let me in,
I can explain.
793
00:38:50,965 --> 00:38:53,601
Samantha: I don't
feel like myself.
794
00:38:56,271 --> 00:38:57,989
I am losing time...
795
00:38:57,990 --> 00:38:59,640
As though I am going mad.
796
00:39:01,476 --> 00:39:03,794
So you think
Samantha Gilbert's
797
00:39:03,795 --> 00:39:06,914
still alive,
running around Mystic Falls,
798
00:39:06,915 --> 00:39:08,482
killing founders?
799
00:39:08,483 --> 00:39:09,700
It's not possible.
800
00:39:09,701 --> 00:39:12,336
If she became a vampire,
we'd know about it, right?
801
00:39:12,337 --> 00:39:15,706
Well, then she must have had a ring
that brought her back to life.
802
00:39:15,707 --> 00:39:18,843
I mean, she was
a... a Gilbert, right?
803
00:39:18,844 --> 00:39:20,961
Those rings are passed on
through generations.
804
00:39:20,962 --> 00:39:23,163
Yeah, but even if
she had a ring,
805
00:39:23,164 --> 00:39:24,548
she wouldn't
be alive today.
806
00:39:24,549 --> 00:39:26,267
Doesn't protect her
from old age.
807
00:39:26,268 --> 00:39:28,769
Jonathan Gilbert
only made two of those rings.
808
00:39:28,770 --> 00:39:31,772
Jeremy has one of 'em,
and the other is...
809
00:39:33,525 --> 00:39:35,226
Alaric's.
810
00:39:37,195 --> 00:39:39,146
Like the sheriff said,
811
00:39:39,147 --> 00:39:41,115
the victims were killed
with your weapons.
812
00:39:41,116 --> 00:39:43,467
Damon: Why the stake?
He's not a vampire.
813
00:39:43,468 --> 00:39:45,636
I know.
This was a murder.
814
00:39:45,637 --> 00:39:46,821
Oh, my God. Dad.
815
00:39:46,822 --> 00:39:48,706
Someone drove this
stake through his heart.
816
00:39:48,707 --> 00:39:49,691
It's one of ours.
817
00:39:49,692 --> 00:39:50,791
Yeah,
but I was attacked.
818
00:39:50,792 --> 00:39:51,859
With your own knife,
819
00:39:51,860 --> 00:39:53,794
a wound that could
have been self-inflicted.
820
00:39:53,795 --> 00:39:54,745
It's impossible.
821
00:39:54,746 --> 00:39:56,914
I would know if I
were killing people.
822
00:39:56,915 --> 00:39:58,966
Would you? Have you
had any blackouts,
823
00:39:58,967 --> 00:40:00,835
instances of lost time?
824
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,587
Y-you're insane.
825
00:40:03,588 --> 00:40:06,540
No, but I think
you might be.
826
00:40:07,976 --> 00:40:10,678
You wear a ring that lets
you cheat death, Ric.
827
00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:13,647
How many times can you
die before it changes you?
828
00:40:20,021 --> 00:40:21,388
I think you're sick,
829
00:40:21,389 --> 00:40:23,390
and I want to help you.
830
00:40:23,391 --> 00:40:26,077
This has happened before
831
00:40:26,078 --> 00:40:27,528
almost 100 years ago.
832
00:40:27,529 --> 00:40:28,696
[Footstep]
833
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:32,900
Elena.
834
00:40:36,788 --> 00:40:38,622
Ric, I think she's right.
