than your craving for blood

Dr. Fell used vampire blood

Dr. Fell is
the one who shot me.

Because you came at her
with a knife.

found hidden in her things.

practically stabbed to death.

Well, Dr. Fell
suggested his wounds
55
00:02:48,492 --> 00:02:49,659
could have been
self-inflicted.
56

00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:11,230
Surprised you came.
183
00:08:11,231 --> 00:08:13,366
And miss
the funeral of...
184
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:15,017
What do you call him?
185
00:08:15,018 --> 00:08:16,519
Uncle Zachariah?
186
00:08:19,306 --> 00:08:20,706
I see you're
still mad at me.
187
00:08:20,707 --> 00:08:23,159
Why would I be mad
at you, Stefan?
188
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,994
You made me
become a vampire,
189
00:08:24,995 --> 00:08:27,747
and now I walk the world alone
drinking other people's blood.
190
00:08:27,748 --> 00:08:30,499
Any chance you took it all
out on our nephew Zachariah?
191
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:31,584
If I'm not mistaken,
192
00:08:31,585 --> 00:08:33,886
you were the one who
killed our family members.
193
00:08:33,887 --> 00:08:35,471
May our father
rest in peace.
194
00:08:35,472 --> 00:08:37,506
I'm not like that
anymore, Damon.
195
00:08:37,507 --> 00:08:39,809
Well, congratulations,
Stefan.
196
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:42,762
If you'll excuse me, I'd like
to live out my eternal existence
197
00:08:42,763 --> 00:08:44,764
as far away from you
as possible.
198
00:08:47,401 --> 00:08:48,634
Damon, wait.
199
00:08:51,405 --> 00:08:53,639
Let's grab a drink,
200
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,807
catch up.
201
00:09:00,213 --> 00:09:01,980
I've missed you,
brother.
202
00:09:07,371 --> 00:09:09,538
Sure.
203
00:09:09,539 --> 00:09:10,906
Why not?
204
00:09:14,795 --> 00:09:16,212
Damon: What do
you say, brother?
205
00:09:16,213 --> 00:09:17,430
You wanna go get drunk?
206
00:09:17,431 --> 00:09:20,800
Ah. I get it.
207
00:09:20,801 --> 00:09:22,101
I get it.
208
00:09:22,102 --> 00:09:23,053
You're bored.
209
00:09:23,054 --> 00:09:24,720
Your best friend's
in jail,
210
00:09:24,721 --> 00:09:26,639
and you don't have
anything better
211
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,307
- to do with yourself.
- Well, there's that.
212
00:09:28,308 --> 00:09:29,725
And...
213
00:09:29,726 --> 00:09:32,845
I was hoping you could
help me solve a murder.
214
00:09:41,434 --> 00:09:44,001
Thank you for meeting
with me, mayor.
215
00:09:44,002 --> 00:09:46,003
I figured as head of the
preservation society,
216
00:09:46,004 --> 00:09:47,705
you'd be
a good person to ask
217
00:09:47,706 --> 00:09:49,256
about the oldest trees
in this community.
218
00:09:49,257 --> 00:09:51,676
A long line of Lockwood women
used to keep those records
219
00:09:51,677 --> 00:09:54,878
back before any of them
had actual jobs.
220
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:56,847
I've been
to the founders archive,
221
00:09:56,848 --> 00:10:00,601
but I can't seem to find any
record of the tree I'm looking for.
222
00:10:00,602 --> 00:10:02,269
It probably
got cut down.
223
00:10:02,270 --> 00:10:05,656
Big old trees built half
this town in the 1900s.
224
00:10:05,657 --> 00:10:08,492
Damon: Ho.
She-devil, 9 o'clock.
225
00:10:08,493 --> 00:10:10,861
[Music playing]
226
00:10:17,252 --> 00:10:18,786
Do you happen
to know who kept
227
00:10:18,787 --> 00:10:20,454
the milling ledgers
during that period?
228
00:10:20,455 --> 00:10:22,540
Back then,
all the logging mills
229
00:10:22,541 --> 00:10:24,458
were owned
by the Salvatores.
230
00:10:28,913 --> 00:10:30,848
So what does
the Cal examiner,
231
00:10:30,849 --> 00:10:33,467
Bill Forbes,
and Alaric Saltzman have in common?
232
00:10:33,468 --> 00:10:34,635
[Tapping ring]
233
00:10:34,636 --> 00:10:36,887
Come on.
Knock it off.
234
00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:39,357
Ahem.
235
00:10:39,358 --> 00:10:41,592
You know, quitting blood
cold Turkey
236
00:10:41,593 --> 00:10:44,595
after a ripper binge,
probably not the best approach.
237
00:10:44,596 --> 00:10:46,647
Every time you play
that all-or-nothing game,
238
00:10:46,648 --> 00:10:48,699
you eventually leave
a trail of bodies,
239
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,434
so I'm thinking
now's a good time
240
00:10:50,435 --> 00:10:52,486
to pay our old friend
moderation a visit.
241
00:10:52,487 --> 00:10:54,688
They were all on
the founders council, Damon.
242
00:10:54,689 --> 00:10:56,323
That's what
they have in common.
243
00:10:56,324 --> 00:10:57,374
But why them, huh?
244
00:10:57,375 --> 00:10:59,794
Brian Walters
and Alaric
245
00:10:59,795 --> 00:11:01,162
weren't from
founding families.
246
00:11:01,163 --> 00:11:02,713
I mean, hey,
247
00:11:02,714 --> 00:11:05,382
if you gotta slaughter
council members, go a-list.
248
00:11:05,383 --> 00:11:08,052
At least in 1912,
they killed a Salvatore.
249
00:11:08,053 --> 00:11:10,254
Rebekah: Which Salvatore
would that be?
250
00:11:13,058 --> 00:11:14,759
You'll have to agree,
sheriff,
251
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,043
there's no motive here.
252
00:11:16,044 --> 00:11:18,028
Look, both
the medical examiner
253
00:11:18,029 --> 00:11:21,098
and my ex-husband got into
altercations with Meredith Fell
254
00:11:21,099 --> 00:11:22,067
before their deaths.
255
00:11:22,068 --> 00:11:23,851
Now, she said
you were a witness
256
00:11:23,852 --> 00:11:25,736
to her fight
with Brian Walters.
257
00:11:25,737 --> 00:11:28,305
So what are you saying,
that I was defending her honor
258
00:11:28,306 --> 00:11:29,406
I barely knew her then.
259
00:11:29,407 --> 00:11:30,841
She said she also told
you Bill threatened
260
00:11:30,842 --> 00:11:32,076
to report her
to the medical board
261
00:11:32,077 --> 00:11:33,778
for giving him
vampire blood.
262
00:11:33,779 --> 00:11:35,029
No, she didn't.
263
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:37,281
A 2 a. m call
on the night he was killed?
264
00:11:37,282 --> 00:11:39,583
I pulled your records.
265
00:11:39,584 --> 00:11:42,036
You spoke with her
for over an hour.
266
00:11:45,874 --> 00:11:47,208
Ok. I, uh...
267
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,045
Yes, I...
268
00:11:51,046 --> 00:11:53,764
I remember
calling her, but I...
269
00:11:53,765 --> 00:11:56,350
I was drinking,
and I...
270
00:11:56,351 --> 00:11:58,385
I don't remember
the conversation.
271
00:11:58,386 --> 00:12:01,505
Well, do you have an alibi for
the night Brian Walters was killed?
272
00:12:01,506 --> 00:12:04,108
I was there the night of
the bridge fundraiser, ok,
273
00:12:04,109 --> 00:12:05,626
until midnight.
You saw me there.
274
00:12:05,627 --> 00:12:08,679
Time of death was
between 1:00 and 3 a. m.
275
00:12:09,531 --> 00:12:11,482
Well, then, I...
276
00:12:11,483 --> 00:12:15,786
I must have been home
sleeping, I'm sure.
277
00:12:15,787 --> 00:12:17,404
I'm sure of it.
278
00:12:18,957 --> 00:12:22,042
So Zachariah Salvatore
was your nephew?
279
00:12:22,043 --> 00:12:25,496
Well, our father knocked up one
of the maids during the civil war.
280
00:12:25,497 --> 00:12:26,530
She had a son.
281
00:12:26,531 --> 00:12:28,299
But as far
as everyone else knew,
282
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:29,633
Stefan and I were dead.
283
00:12:29,634 --> 00:12:31,252
Family name
had to go somewhere.
284
00:12:31,253 --> 00:12:33,838
And, uh, your family owned
the logging mills back then.
285
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:36,307

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,

more about her.

to look any deeper.

do this to him?

Don't you think the police
already combed through this place?

She handed over
everything she had.

that she didn't hand over.

my brother.
536
00:24:24,716 --> 00:24:27,217
[Sighs] Think I'm gonna need
some help with this one.
537
00:24:27,218 --> 00:24:29,487
What can I do?
538
00:24:31,023 --> 00:24:32,823
Damon: Hmm.
539
00:24:40,165 --> 00:24:41,165
Hello.
540
00:24:41,166 --> 00:24:42,450
Hi.
541
00:24:42,451 --> 00:24:44,035
This may seem
very forward,
542
00:24:44,036 --> 00:24:45,586
but you're just
so pretty.
543
00:24:45,587 --> 00:24:46,571
Thank you.
544
00:24:46,572 --> 00:24:48,139
And please
don't scream.
545
00:24:48,140 --> 00:24:50,508
You're about to have
a very, very bad night.
546
00:24:58,433 --> 00:25:00,384
Stop. Stop it.
547
00:25:00,419 --> 00:25:02,335
Sorry, brother.
548
00:25:04,022 --> 00:25:05,723
It's dinnertime.
549
00:25:05,724 --> 00:25:07,692
Have a bite.
550
00:25:08,527 --> 00:25:10,811
What are you doing?
Tough love, Stefan.
551
00:25:10,812 --> 00:25:13,397
You're not gonna survive this
cold-turkey thing. You never do.
552
00:25:13,398 --> 00:25:16,033
It's time to get
that monkey off your back.
553
00:25:17,202 --> 00:25:18,202
No.
554
00:25:18,203 --> 00:25:20,270
Feed...
555
00:25:20,271 --> 00:25:22,373
Or I'll let Rebekah
have her way with her.
556
00:25:22,374 --> 00:25:24,075
You know
she'll kill her.
557
00:25:24,076 --> 00:25:25,042
Oh, I will.
558
00:25:25,043 --> 00:25:26,711
Then her blood'll
be on your hands.
559
00:25:26,712 --> 00:25:28,579
Or you can just
have a little drink,
560
00:25:28,580 --> 00:25:30,915
save her life.
Come on, Stefan.
561
00:25:30,916 --> 00:25:32,717
You were the one
that said you didn't want
562
00:25:32,718 --> 00:25:35,469
any more innocent life
slaughtered.
563
00:25:35,470 --> 00:25:36,504
Save her.
564
00:25:36,505 --> 00:25:38,389
Go on.
Have a bite.
565
00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:39,807
I snatched.
You eat. I erase.
566
00:25:39,808 --> 00:25:41,892
Hell, I'll even heal her
for you when it's over.
567
00:25:41,893 --> 00:25:43,060
Why are you doing this?
568
00:25:43,061 --> 00:25:44,762
You know what blood
does to me.
569
00:25:44,763 --> 00:25:46,263
'Cause you let it
controntyou.
570
00:25:46,264 --> 00:25:47,732
You always have.
I'm just here
571
00:25:47,733 --> 00:25:49,734
to help you learn
how to fight it.
572
00:25:49,735 --> 00:25:51,635
This is rubbish.
573
00:26:07,152 --> 00:26:09,787
That's it, Stefan.
574
00:26:19,381 --> 00:26:21,599
I got it from here.
Go ahead.
575
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,883
Night's just
getting started.
576
00:26:22,884 --> 00:26:24,468
Scram.
No one likes a lurker.
577
00:26:24,469 --> 00:26:26,720
You're a real ass,
you know.
578
00:26:26,721 --> 00:26:28,305
So I'm told.
579
00:26:30,225 --> 00:26:32,276
All right,
that's enough.
580
00:26:32,277 --> 00:26:33,778
Come on.
You're gonna bleed her dry.
581
00:26:33,779 --> 00:26:34,779
You're gonna drain her.
582
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:36,781
Come on.
583
00:26:37,849 --> 00:26:39,850
[Growls]
584
00:26:39,851 --> 00:26:40,819
I said that's enough.
585
00:26:40,820 --> 00:26:42,820
Hey, you wanna
fight hunger,
586
00:26:42,821 --> 00:26:44,405
or you wanna fight me?
587
00:26:45,290 --> 00:26:47,124
I got you.
588
00:26:48,627 --> 00:26:50,461
That's a good girl.
589
00:26:50,462 --> 00:26:52,329
Elena: What are
you doing?
590
00:26:56,868 --> 00:26:59,086
Stefan.
591
00:27:05,210 --> 00:27:07,544
Elena.
592
00:27:08,379 --> 00:27:10,047
What are
you two doing?
593
00:27:10,048 --> 00:27:11,015
Damon: Relax, Elena.
594
00:27:11,016 --> 00:27:12,850
Just a little
experiment.
595
00:27:12,851 --> 00:27:16,187
There's no need to make this more
dramatic than it needs to be.
596
00:27:16,188 --> 00:27:18,772
Elena, let's just go.
597
00:27:21,193 --> 00:27:23,393
Elena!
598
00:27:35,290 --> 00:27:36,957
So...
599
00:27:37,792 --> 00:27:40,010
That's gonna take
a little time.
600
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,517
Stefan. Wait. Hey.
601
00:27:46,518 --> 00:27:48,252
Stefan, wait.
602
00:28:06,022 --> 00:28:08,059
Just say it.
603
00:28:08,060 --> 00:28:10,645
I just don't get it,
your thing with them.
604
00:28:10,646 --> 00:28:13,397
I know it doesn't
make sense.
605
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:18,286
But at the beginning,
606
00:28:18,287 --> 00:28:20,404
after my parents died,
607
00:28:20,405 --> 00:28:22,773
there was something
about being with Stefan
608
00:28:22,774 --> 00:28:23,742
that just...
609
00:28:23,743 --> 00:28:26,527
[Music playing]
Felt safe.
610
00:28:26,528 --> 00:28:28,546
Safe?
611
00:28:28,547 --> 00:28:29,881
Elena,
he's a vampire.
612
00:28:29,882 --> 00:28:31,115
I know, believe me.
613
00:28:31,116 --> 00:28:34,752
Just saying it out loud
sounds crazy, but...
614
00:28:36,221 --> 00:28:40,758
It's like I knew
that he would never stop loving me,
615
00:28:40,759 --> 00:28:42,793
like he would never...
616
00:28:42,794 --> 00:28:45,596
What?
617
00:28:48,016 --> 00:28:49,650
Die.
618
00:28:51,136 --> 00:28:53,254
Like he would never die.
619
00:28:58,277 --> 00:29:00,578
Like your parents did.
620
00:29:03,815 --> 00:29:05,583
And Damon?
621
00:29:10,372 --> 00:29:15,092
Damon just sort of
snuck up on me.
622
00:29:15,961 --> 00:29:17,195
He got under my skin,
623
00:29:17,196 --> 00:29:19,430
and no matter
what I do, I just...
624
00:29:20,299 --> 00:29:21,782
I can't shake him.
625
00:29:23,769 --> 00:29:26,137
Once you fall
in love with someone,
626
00:29:26,138 --> 00:29:27,521
I don't know if...
627
00:29:27,522 --> 00:29:30,725
I don't know if you
can ever shake 'em.
628
00:29:42,687 --> 00:29:43,687
I'm sorry.
629
00:29:43,688 --> 00:29:47,291
Is... is this weird?
630
00:29:47,292 --> 00:29:50,578
Talking about them
with you?
631
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,864
No.
632
00:29:53,865 --> 00:29:56,083
Not really.
633
00:29:57,502 --> 00:29:59,370
I got you
something.
634
00:30:02,140 --> 00:30:03,758
The journal?
635
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:06,143
It's your family's.
You should have it.
636
00:30:06,144 --> 00:30:07,812
Meredith and
that idiot deputy
637
00:30:07,813 --> 00:30:09,046
were too busy
questioning you
638
00:30:09,047 --> 00:30:10,714
to give a damn
about me.
639
00:30:12,317 --> 00:30:13,550
Sometimes it pays
640
00:30:13,551 --> 00:30:15,269
to be
the only normal one
641
00:30:15,270 --> 00:30:16,737
in a town
of vampires.
642
00:30:16,738 --> 00:30:17,755
[Chuckles]
643
00:30:17,756 --> 00:30:19,707
Practically invisible.
644
00:30:30,919 --> 00:30:31,919
Are you ok?
645
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:32,920
Yeah. Yeah.
646
00:30:32,921 --> 00:30:34,238
I'm all right.
647
00:31:09,524 --> 00:31:11,759
They let Ric go.
648
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,462
Sheriff Forbes said
she's out of suspects again,
649
00:31:14,463 --> 00:31:17,031
but Ric is in the clear.
650
00:31:22,454 --> 00:31:25,456
I know it may not
seem like it, but...
651
00:31:25,457 --> 00:31:27,875
You did really well
tonight.
652
00:31:30,045 --> 00:31:31,562
I mean,
before you know it,
653
00:31:31,563 --> 00:31:33,531
you're gonna be
the king of moderation.
654
00:31:36,485 --> 00:31:37,618
Elena will understand.
655
00:31:37,619 --> 00:31:39,737
Doesn't really matter
what Elena thinks.
656
00:31:39,738 --> 00:31:41,238
Uh-uh. None of that.
657
00:31:42,407 --> 00:31:44,641
No more
no humanity Stefan.
658
00:31:44,642 --> 00:31:47,161
There's a road
called recovery,
659
00:31:47,162 --> 00:31:48,863
and we are on it.
660
00:31:50,165 --> 00:31:52,500
Why do you even care,
huh?
661
00:31:52,501 --> 00:31:54,535
The whole
brother-bonding thing,
662
00:31:54,536 --> 00:31:56,504
getting Elena
to hate you.
663
00:31:56,505 --> 00:31:59,373
Why, you feel guilty because you
kissed her? Is that it, Damon?
664
00:31:59,374 --> 00:32:01,575
Because you can stop.
Go back to hating me.
665
00:32:01,576 --> 00:32:02,910
It was a lot easier.
666
00:32:02,911 --> 00:32:04,595
Can you for one minute
actually believe
667
00:32:04,596 --> 00:32:06,013
that I'm trying
to help you?
668
00:32:06,014 --> 00:32:08,099
I don't need your help.
669
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:09,517
Don't need my...
670
00:32:10,352 --> 00:32:12,336
Are you kidding me?
671
00:32:12,337 --> 00:32:14,805
Do you remember what happened
last time you said that?
672
00:32:14,806 --> 00:32:16,006
What are you talking about?
673
00:32:16,007 --> 00:32:18,442
1912, Stefan,
674
00:32:18,443 --> 00:32:22,146
the last time I convinced
you to drink human blood.
675
00:32:22,147 --> 00:32:23,864
Go ahead, Stefan.
676
00:32:23,865 --> 00:32:25,015
Pick one.
677
00:32:25,016 --> 00:32:26,567
They're people, Damon.
678
00:32:26,568 --> 00:32:28,119
Yes, they are
people, Stefan,
679
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,538
people with blood pumping
through their veins,
680
00:32:30,539 --> 00:32:35,276
waiting to be opened
up and sucked dry.
681
00:32:35,277 --> 00:32:37,861
You've just forgotten
how good it feels.
682
00:32:38,713 --> 00:32:41,749
So had I, but Sage,
683
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:43,634
she reminded me...
[Heart beating]
684
00:32:43,635 --> 00:32:45,252
It's worth it.
685
00:32:45,253 --> 00:32:46,754
It's all worth it.
686
00:32:51,876 --> 00:32:54,145
Not him, Stefan.
687
00:32:54,146 --> 00:32:56,564
Not him...
688
00:32:57,983 --> 00:32:58,983
Her.
689
00:32:58,984 --> 00:33:00,234
[Gasps]
690
00:33:00,235 --> 00:33:01,936
She's the one.
691
00:33:04,055 --> 00:33:05,722
I don't do that
anymore.
692
00:33:05,723 --> 00:33:07,024
But you can, Stefan.
693
00:33:07,025 --> 00:33:09,360
We can.
694
00:33:09,361 --> 00:33:11,996
Let the past
be the past.
695
00:33:13,165 --> 00:33:16,417
Have a drink
with me, brother.
696
00:33:28,396 --> 00:33:31,298
I knew you still
had it in you.
697
00:33:38,890 --> 00:33:40,090
Don't be greedy.
698
00:33:40,091 --> 00:33:41,925
[Growls]
699
00:33:44,262 --> 00:33:46,363
Stefan. Stefan.
700
00:34:00,795 --> 00:34:04,548
Oh, my God.
701
00:34:04,549 --> 00:34:07,134
Help me.
702
00:34:07,135 --> 00:34:09,387
Stefan, stop.
703
00:34:09,388 --> 00:34:10,421
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
704
00:34:10,422 --> 00:34:11,555
Stefan, stop.
705
00:34:11,556 --> 00:34:13,557
What did you do to me?!
706
00:34:13,558 --> 00:34:14,592
Stefan.
707
00:34:14,593 --> 00:34:16,677
What did you do to me?
708
00:34:20,482 --> 00:34:21,599
[Muttering]
709
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,318
You just need to learn
when to stop.
710
00:34:24,319 --> 00:34:25,636
I can help you.
711
00:34:25,637 --> 00:34:27,104
I don't need
your help.
712
00:34:29,574 --> 00:34:32,326
Damon: The founders council
killer had nothing on you.
713
00:34:32,327 --> 00:34:36,113
By decade's end, they were calling
you the ripper of monterey.
714
00:34:37,265 --> 00:34:40,034
I let you walk away.
715
00:34:43,388 --> 00:34:45,322
I watched you
go over the edge,
716
00:34:45,323 --> 00:34:47,758
and I didn't do
anything to stop you.
717
00:34:52,347 --> 00:34:54,048
You couldn't have.
718
00:34:54,933 --> 00:34:56,967
Sure, I could have.
719
00:34:59,304 --> 00:35:01,505
But I just
didn't want to.
720
00:35:06,828 --> 00:35:08,679
But I want to now.
721
00:35:09,531 --> 00:35:11,065
Whenever you go too far,
722
00:35:11,066 --> 00:35:12,950
I will be there
to pull you back,
723
00:35:12,951 --> 00:35:15,736
every second, every day
724
00:35:15,737 --> 00:35:17,655
till you don't need me.
725
00:35:18,957 --> 00:35:20,407
Why?
726
00:35:24,529 --> 00:35:26,196
'Cause right now...
727
00:35:28,917 --> 00:35:30,834
You're all I got.
728
00:35:44,379 --> 00:35:46,458
Hey, I was gonna
make some coffee.
729
00:35:46,459 --> 00:35:48,093
I'm good.
730
00:35:48,094 --> 00:35:50,669
Gonna head to bed
in a few.
731
00:35:53,165 --> 00:35:55,384
Hey, listen, Elena.
732
00:35:55,385 --> 00:35:59,187
The, uh...
The sheriff told me
733
00:35:59,188 --> 00:36:01,857
about everything
you did today, and...
734
00:36:01,858 --> 00:36:03,642
While I appreciate it,
735
00:36:03,643 --> 00:36:08,146
I don't want you getting in
trouble because of me, ok?
736
00:36:08,147 --> 00:36:11,850
If not for you, for who?
737
00:36:11,851 --> 00:36:13,184
Well, still, I...
738
00:36:13,185 --> 00:36:15,620
I'm the one who's supposed
to look after you,
739
00:36:15,621 --> 00:36:18,857
even if
I suck at it.
740
00:36:18,858 --> 00:36:19,875
Ok, well,
741
00:36:19,876 --> 00:36:21,860
how 'bout we just agree
742
00:36:21,861 --> 00:36:24,579
to take care of
each other, then?
743
00:36:26,132 --> 00:36:28,967
Heh. Deal.
744
00:36:28,968 --> 00:36:30,201
[Chuckles]
745
00:36:30,202 --> 00:36:31,636
What are you
reading there?
746
00:36:32,705 --> 00:36:34,005
Old family journal.
747
00:36:34,006 --> 00:36:36,224
Any juicy
family secrets?
748
00:36:36,225 --> 00:36:37,709
It's hard to tell.
749
00:36:37,710 --> 00:36:40,762
I mean, at first, I thought it
was Jonathan Gilbert's journal,
750
00:36:40,763 --> 00:36:42,981
but it ended up being
his granddaughter's,
751
00:36:42,982 --> 00:36:46,518
who apparently went
just as crazy as he did,
752
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:50,489
so great genes, huh?
753
00:36:50,490 --> 00:36:53,892
Well, at least you have
something to look forward to.
754
00:36:53,893 --> 00:36:54,993
Good night, Ric.
755
00:36:54,994 --> 00:36:56,945
Night.
756
00:36:59,398 --> 00:37:01,566
[Playing piano]
757
00:37:05,371 --> 00:37:09,708
So I, uh... I dug into the old
family archives from the early 1900s.
758
00:37:09,709 --> 00:37:11,860
So now you want
to be helpful.
759
00:37:13,913 --> 00:37:16,381
Want me to go back
to being mad at you?
760
00:37:19,635 --> 00:37:20,635
What'd you find?
761
00:37:20,636 --> 00:37:23,254
Well, nothing from 1912.
762
00:37:23,255 --> 00:37:24,940
They never
did arrest anyone
763
00:37:24,941 --> 00:37:26,641
for the founders' murders,
764
00:37:26,642 --> 00:37:30,395
but they did get
a confession 10 years later.
765
00:37:30,396 --> 00:37:32,981
They did? Who?
766
00:37:32,982 --> 00:37:36,401
Jonathan Gilbert's
granddaughter Samantha.
767
00:37:36,402 --> 00:37:37,903
They assumed
she was crazy,
768
00:37:37,904 --> 00:37:40,038
locked her up
in an insane asylum.
769
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:41,039
Then what?
770
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,474
Trail ends there.
771
00:37:42,475 --> 00:37:43,992
I mean,
she was a founder.
772
00:37:43,993 --> 00:37:46,611
You know they like
to look out for their own.
773
00:37:46,612 --> 00:37:48,279
Samantha Gilbert.
774
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,583
That is very weird.
775
00:37:51,584 --> 00:37:52,801
Why?
776
00:37:52,802 --> 00:37:56,120
Because I'm pretty sure
I had already killed her.
777
00:37:58,090 --> 00:38:00,225
I know what this
looks like.
778
00:38:00,226 --> 00:38:01,543
Yeah? Well,
I sure as hell don't.
779
00:38:01,544 --> 00:38:03,574
You shoot me,
you have me thrown in jail,
780
00:38:03,609 --> 00:38:05,061
and then you
have me freed.
781
00:38:05,096 --> 00:38:06,378
I did it for you, Ric.
782
00:38:06,413 --> 00:38:08,116
I forged the coroner's note
to clear your name.
783
00:38:08,117 --> 00:38:09,851
Oh. You know what?
People are right.
784
00:38:09,852 --> 00:38:11,353
You are psycho.
Yeah...
785
00:38:11,354 --> 00:38:12,904
Now that you've
been cleared,
786
00:38:12,905 --> 00:38:13,905
they'll look
somewhere else.
787
00:38:13,906 --> 00:38:15,240
They won't look
your way again.
788
00:38:16,192 --> 00:38:18,443
Please,
you have no reason,
789
00:38:18,444 --> 00:38:20,812
but I need you
to trust me anyway.
790
00:38:21,647 --> 00:38:24,199
If you let me in,
I can explain.
791
00:38:40,165 --> 00:38:42,801
Samantha: I don't
feel like myself.
792
00:38:45,471 --> 00:38:47,189
I am losing time...
793
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:48,840
As though I am going mad.
794
00:38:50,676 --> 00:38:52,994
So you think
Samantha Gilbert's
795
00:38:52,995 --> 00:38:56,114
still alive,
running around Mystic Falls,
796
00:38:56,115 --> 00:38:57,682
killing founders?
797
00:38:57,683 --> 00:38:58,900
It's not possible.
798
00:38:58,901 --> 00:39:01,536
If she became a vampire,
we'd know about it, right?
799
00:39:01,537 --> 00:39:04,906
Well, then she must have had a ring
that brought her back to life.
800
00:39:04,907 --> 00:39:08,043
I mean, she was
a... a Gilbert, right?
801
00:39:08,044 --> 00:39:10,161
Those rings are passed on
through generations.
802
00:39:10,162 --> 00:39:12,363
Yeah, but even if
she had a ring,
803
00:39:12,364 --> 00:39:13,748
she wouldn't
be alive today.
804
00:39:13,749 --> 00:39:15,467
Doesn't protect her
from old age.
805
00:39:15,468 --> 00:39:17,969
Jonathan Gilbert
only made two of those rings.
806
00:39:17,970 --> 00:39:20,972
Jeremy has one of 'em,
and the other is...
807
00:39:22,725 --> 00:39:24,426
Alaric's.
808
00:39:26,395 --> 00:39:28,346
Like the sheriff said,
809
00:39:28,347 --> 00:39:30,315
the victims were killed
with your weapons.
810
00:39:30,316 --> 00:39:32,667
Damon: Why the stake?
He's not a vampire.
811
00:39:32,668 --> 00:39:34,836
I know.
This was a murder.
812
00:39:34,837 --> 00:39:36,021
Oh, my God. Dad.
813
00:39:36,022 --> 00:39:37,906
Someone drove this
stake through his heart.
814
00:39:37,907 --> 00:39:38,891
It's one of ours.
815
00:39:38,892 --> 00:39:39,991
Yeah,
but I was attacked.
816
00:39:39,992 --> 00:39:41,059
With your own knife,
817
00:39:41,060 --> 00:39:42,994
a wound that could
have been self-inflicted.
818
00:39:42,995 --> 00:39:43,945
It's impossible.
819
00:39:43,946 --> 00:39:46,114
I would know if I
were killing people.
820
00:39:46,115 --> 00:39:48,166
Would you? Have you
had any blackouts,
821
00:39:48,167 --> 00:39:50,035
instances of lost time?
822
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,787
Y- you're insane.
823
00:39:52,788 --> 00:39:55,740
No, but I think
you might be.
824
00:39:57,176 --> 00:39:59,878
You wear a ring that lets
you cheat death, Ric.
825
00:39:59,879 --> 00:40:02,847
How many times can you
die before it changes you?
826
00:40:09,221 --> 00:40:10,588
I think you're sick,
827
00:40:10,589 --> 00:40:12,590
and I want to help you.
828
00:40:12,591 --> 00:40:15,277
This has happened before
829
00:40:15,278 --> 00:40:16,728
almost 100 years ago.
830
00:40:16,729 --> 00:40:17,896
[Footstep]
831
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:22,100
Elena.
832
00:40:25,988 --> 00:40:27,822
Ric, I think she's right.
