than your craving for blood

- This was a murder.

you just ask Rick

Dr. Fell used vampire blood
to heal you.

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
00:02:49,792 --> 00:02:50,959
could have been
self-inflicted.
56
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,377

I stabbed myself?

00:08:10,329 --> 00:08:12,530
Surprised you came.
183
00:08:12,531 --> 00:08:14,666
And miss
the funeral of...
184
00:08:14,667 --> 00:08:16,317
What do you call him?
185
00:08:16,318 --> 00:08:17,819
Uncle Zachariah?
186
00:08:20,606 --> 00:08:22,006
I see you're
still mad at me.
187
00:08:22,007 --> 00:08:24,459
Why would I be mad
at you, Stefan?
188
00:08:24,460 --> 00:08:26,294
You made me
become a vampire,
189
00:08:26,295 --> 00:08:29,047
and now I walk the world alone
drinking other people's blood.
190
00:08:29,048 --> 00:08:31,799
Any chance you took it all
out on our nephew Zachariah?
191
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,884
If I'm not mistaken,
192
00:08:32,885 --> 00:08:35,186
you were the one who
killed our family members.
193
00:08:35,187 --> 00:08:36,771
May our father
rest in peace.
194
00:08:36,772 --> 00:08:38,806
I'm not like that
anymore, Damon.
195
00:08:38,807 --> 00:08:41,109
Well, congratulations,
Stefan.
196
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:44,062
If you'll excuse me, I'd like
to live out my eternal existence
197
00:08:44,063 --> 00:08:46,064
as far away from you
as possible.
198
00:08:48,701 --> 00:08:49,934
Damon, wait.
199
00:08:52,705 --> 00:08:54,939
Let's grab a drink,
200
00:08:54,940 --> 00:08:56,107
catch up.
201
00:09:01,513 --> 00:09:03,280
I've missed you,
brother.
202
00:09:08,671 --> 00:09:10,838
Sure.
203
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:12,206
Why not?
204
00:09:16,095 --> 00:09:17,512
Damon: What do
you say, brother?
205
00:09:17,513 --> 00:09:18,730
You wanna go get drunk?
206
00:09:18,731 --> 00:09:22,100
Ah. I get it.
207
00:09:22,101 --> 00:09:23,401
I get it.
208
00:09:23,402 --> 00:09:24,353
You're bored.
209
00:09:24,354 --> 00:09:26,020
Your best friend's
in jail,
210
00:09:26,021 --> 00:09:27,939
and you don't have
anything better
211
00:09:27,940 --> 00:09:29,607
- to do with yourself.
- Well, there's that.
212
00:09:29,608 --> 00:09:31,025
And...
213
00:09:31,026 --> 00:09:34,145
I was hoping you could
help me solve a murder.
214
00:09:45,134 --> 00:09:47,701
Thank you for meeting
with me, mayor.
215
00:09:47,702 --> 00:09:49,703
I figured as head of the
preservation society,
216
00:09:49,704 --> 00:09:51,405
you'd be
a good person to ask
217
00:09:51,406 --> 00:09:52,956
about the oldest trees
in this community.
218
00:09:52,957 --> 00:09:55,376
A long line of Lockwood women
used to keep those records
219
00:09:55,377 --> 00:09:58,578
back before any of them
had actual jobs.
220
00:09:58,579 --> 00:10:00,547
I've been
to the founders archive,
221
00:10:00,548 --> 00:10:04,301
but I can't seem to find any
record of the tree I'm looking for.
222
00:10:04,302 --> 00:10:05,969
It probably
got cut down.
223
00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:09,356
Big old trees built half
this town in the 1900s.
224
00:10:09,357 --> 00:10:12,192
Damon: Ho.
She-devil, 9 o'clock.
225
00:10:12,193 --> 00:10:14,561
[Music playing]
226
00:10:20,952 --> 00:10:22,486
Do you happen
to know who kept
227
00:10:22,487 --> 00:10:24,154
the milling ledgers
during that period?
228
00:10:24,155 --> 00:10:26,240
Back then,
all the logging mills
229
00:10:26,241 --> 00:10:28,158
were owned
by the Salvatores.
230
00:10:32,613 --> 00:10:34,548
So what does
the Cal examiner,
231
00:10:34,549 --> 00:10:37,167
bill Forbes,
and Alaric Saltzman have in common?
232
00:10:37,168 --> 00:10:38,335
[Tapping ring]
233
00:10:38,336 --> 00:10:40,587
Come on.
Knock it off.
234
00:10:42,090 --> 00:10:43,057
Ahem.
235
00:10:43,058 --> 00:10:45,292
You know, quitting blood
cold Turkey
236
00:10:45,293 --> 00:10:48,295
after a ripper binge,
probably not the best approach.
237
00:10:48,296 --> 00:10:50,347
Every time you play
that all-or-nothing game,
238
00:10:50,348 --> 00:10:52,399
you eventually leave
a trail of bodies,
239
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,134
so I'm thinking
now's a good time
240
00:10:54,135 --> 00:10:56,186
to pay our old friend
moderation a visit.
241
00:10:56,187 --> 00:10:58,388
They were all on
the founders council, Damon.
242
00:10:58,389 --> 00:11:00,023
That's what
they have in common.
243
00:11:00,024 --> 00:11:01,074
But why them, huh?
244
00:11:01,075 --> 00:11:03,494
Brian Walters
and Alaric
245
00:11:03,495 --> 00:11:04,862
weren't from
founding families.
246
00:11:04,863 --> 00:11:06,413
I mean, hey,
247
00:11:06,414 --> 00:11:09,082
if you gotta slaughter
council members, go a-list.
248
00:11:09,083 --> 00:11:11,752
At least in 1912,
they killed a Salvatore.
249
00:11:11,753 --> 00:11:13,954
Rebekah: Which Salvatore
would that be?
250
00:11:16,758 --> 00:11:18,459
You'll have to agree,
sheriff,
251
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:19,743
there's no motive here.
252
00:11:19,744 --> 00:11:21,728
Look, both
the medical examiner
253
00:11:21,729 --> 00:11:24,798
and my ex-husband got into
altercations with Meredith Fell
254
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:25,767
before their deaths.
255
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:27,551
Now, she said
you were a witness
256
00:11:27,552 --> 00:11:29,436
to her fight
with Brian Walters.
257
00:11:29,437 --> 00:11:32,005
So what are you saying,
that I was defending her honor
258
00:11:32,006 --> 00:11:33,106
I barely knew her then.
259
00:11:33,107 --> 00:11:34,541
She said she also told
you bill threatened
260
00:11:34,542 --> 00:11:35,776
to report her
to the medical board
261
00:11:35,777 --> 00:11:37,478
for giving him
vampire blood.
262
00:11:37,479 --> 00:11:38,729
No, she didn't.
263
00:11:38,730 --> 00:11:40,981
A 2 a.M. Call
on the night he was killed?
264
00:11:40,982 --> 00:11:43,283
I pulled your records.
265
00:11:43,284 --> 00:11:45,736
You spoke with her
for over an hour.
266
00:11:49,574 --> 00:11:50,908
Ok. I, uh...
267
00:11:52,660 --> 00:11:54,745
Yes, I...
268
00:11:54,746 --> 00:11:57,464
I remember
calling her, but I...
269
00:11:57,465 --> 00:12:00,050
I was drinking,
and I...
270
00:12:00,051 --> 00:12:02,085
I don't remember
the conversation.
271
00:12:02,086 --> 00:12:05,205
Well, do you have an alibi for
the night Brian Walters was killed?
272
00:12:05,206 --> 00:12:07,808
I was there the night of
the bridge fundraiser, ok,
273
00:12:07,809 --> 00:12:09,326
until midnight.
You saw me there.
274
00:12:09,327 --> 00:12:12,379
Time of death was
between 1:00 and 3 a.M.
275
00:12:13,231 --> 00:12:15,182
Well, then, I...
276
00:12:15,183 --> 00:12:19,486
I must have been home
sleeping, I'm sure.
277
00:12:19,487 --> 00:12:21,104
I'm sure of it.
278
00:12:22,657 --> 00:12:25,742
So Zachariah Salvatore
was your nephew?
279
00:12:25,743 --> 00:12:29,196
Well, our father knocked up one
of the maids during the civil war.
280
00:12:29,197 --> 00:12:30,230
She had a son.
281
00:12:30,231 --> 00:12:31,999
But as far
as everyone else knew,
282
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,333
Stefan and I were dead.
283
00:12:33,334 --> 00:12:34,952
Family name
had to go somewhere.
284
00:12:34,953 --> 00:12:37,538
And, uh, your family owned
the logging mills back then.
285
00:12:37,539 --> 00:12:40,007
You're full of
a lot of questions.

after all.

catch the killer?

Nope.

Stefan: Yeah.
303
00:13:13,441 --> 00:13:17,210
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.
307

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?

You took pity on a borderline
alcoholic vampire hunter,

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.

Yeah, I'm looking for the evidence
that she didn't hand over.

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

That's a bit sexist.

my brother.
536
00:24:32,416 --> 00:24:34,917
[Sighs] Think I'm gonna need
some help with this one.
537
00:24:34,918 --> 00:24:37,187
What can I do?
538
00:24:38,723 --> 00:24:40,523
Damon: Hmm.
539
00:24:47,865 --> 00:24:48,865
Hello.
540
00:24:48,866 --> 00:24:50,150
Hi.
541
00:24:50,151 --> 00:24:51,735
This may seem
very forward,
542
00:24:51,736 --> 00:24:53,286
but you're just
so pretty.
543
00:24:53,287 --> 00:24:54,271
Thank you.
544
00:24:54,272 --> 00:24:55,839
And please
don't scream.
545
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,208
You're about to have
a very, very bad night.
546
00:25:06,133 --> 00:25:08,451
Stop. Stop it.
547
00:25:10,421 --> 00:25:11,721
Sorry, brother.
548
00:25:11,722 --> 00:25:13,423
It's dinnertime.
549
00:25:13,424 --> 00:25:15,392
Have a bite.
550
00:25:16,227 --> 00:25:18,511
What are you doing?
Tough love, Stefan.
551
00:25:18,512 --> 00:25:21,097
You're not gonna survive this
cold-Turkey thing. You never do.
552
00:25:21,098 --> 00:25:23,733
It's time to get
that monkey off your back.
553
00:25:24,902 --> 00:25:25,902
No.
554
00:25:25,903 --> 00:25:27,970
Feed...
555
00:25:27,971 --> 00:25:30,073
Or I'll let rebekah
have her way with her.
556
00:25:30,074 --> 00:25:31,775
You know
she'll kill her.
557
00:25:31,776 --> 00:25:32,742
Oh, I will.
558
00:25:32,743 --> 00:25:34,411
Then her blood'll
be on your hands.
559
00:25:34,412 --> 00:25:36,279
Or you can just
have a little drink,
560
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,615
save her life.
Come on, Stefan.
561
00:25:38,616 --> 00:25:40,417
You were the one
that said you didn't want
562
00:25:40,418 --> 00:25:43,169
any more innocent life
slaughtered.
563
00:25:43,170 --> 00:25:44,204
Save her.
564
00:25:44,205 --> 00:25:46,089
Go on.
Have a bite.
565
00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:47,507
I snatched.
You eat. I erase.
566
00:25:47,508 --> 00:25:49,592
Hell, I'll even heal her
for you when it's over.
567
00:25:49,593 --> 00:25:50,760
Why are you doing this?
568
00:25:50,761 --> 00:25:52,462
You know what blood
does to me.
569
00:25:52,463 --> 00:25:53,963
'Cause you let it
controntyou.
570
00:25:53,964 --> 00:25:55,432
You always have.
I'm just here
571
00:25:55,433 --> 00:25:57,434
to help you learn
how to fight it.
572
00:25:57,435 --> 00:25:59,335
This is rubbish.
573
00:26:14,852 --> 00:26:17,487
That's it, Stefan.
574
00:26:27,081 --> 00:26:29,299
I got it from here.
Go ahead.
575
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:30,583
Night's just
getting started.
576
00:26:30,584 --> 00:26:32,168
Scram.
No one likes a lurker.
577
00:26:32,169 --> 00:26:34,420
You're a real ass,
you know.
578
00:26:34,421 --> 00:26:36,005
So I'm told.
579
00:26:37,925 --> 00:26:39,976
All right,
that's enough.
580
00:26:39,977 --> 00:26:41,478
Come on.
You're gonna bleed her dry.
581
00:26:41,479 --> 00:26:42,479
You're gonna drain her.
582
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,481
Come on.
583
00:26:45,549 --> 00:26:47,550
[Growls]
584
00:26:47,551 --> 00:26:48,519
I said that's enough.
585
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,520
Hey, you wanna
fight hunger,
586
00:26:50,521 --> 00:26:52,105
or you wanna fight me?
587
00:26:52,990 --> 00:26:54,824
I got you.
588
00:26:56,327 --> 00:26:58,161
That's a good girl.
589
00:26:58,162 --> 00:27:00,029
Elena: What are
you doing?
590
00:27:04,568 --> 00:27:06,786
Stefan.
591
00:27:12,910 --> 00:27:15,244
Elena.
592
00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:17,747
What are
you two doing?
593
00:27:17,748 --> 00:27:18,715
Damon: Relax, Elena.
594
00:27:18,716 --> 00:27:20,550
Just a little
experiment.
595
00:27:20,551 --> 00:27:23,887
There's no need to make this more
dramatic than it needs to be.
596
00:27:23,888 --> 00:27:26,472
Elena, let's just go.
597
00:27:28,893 --> 00:27:31,093
Elena!
598
00:27:42,990 --> 00:27:44,657
So...
599
00:27:45,492 --> 00:27:47,710
That's gonna take
a little time.
600
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,217
Stefan. Wait. Hey.
601
00:27:54,218 --> 00:27:55,952
Stefan, wait.
602
00:28:14,008 --> 00:28:16,259
Just say it.
603
00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:18,845
I just don't get it,
your thing with them.
604
00:28:18,846 --> 00:28:21,597
I know it doesn't
make sense.
605
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:26,486
But at the beginning,
606
00:28:26,487 --> 00:28:28,604
after my parents died,
607
00:28:28,605 --> 00:28:30,973
there was something
about being with Stefan
608
00:28:30,974 --> 00:28:31,942
that just...
609
00:28:31,943 --> 00:28:34,727
[Music playing]
Felt safe.
610
00:28:34,728 --> 00:28:36,746
Safe?
611
00:28:36,747 --> 00:28:38,081
Elena,
he's a vampire.
612
00:28:38,082 --> 00:28:39,315
I know, believe me.
613
00:28:39,316 --> 00:28:42,952
Just saying it out loud
sounds crazy, but...
614
00:28:44,421 --> 00:28:48,958
It's like I knew
that he would never stop loving me,
615
00:28:48,959 --> 00:28:50,993
like he would never...
616
00:28:50,994 --> 00:28:53,796
What?
617
00:28:56,216 --> 00:28:57,850
Die.
618
00:28:59,336 --> 00:29:01,454
Like he would never die.
619
00:29:06,477 --> 00:29:08,778
Like your parents did.
620
00:29:12,015 --> 00:29:13,783
And Damon?
621
00:29:18,572 --> 00:29:23,292
Damon just sort of
snuck up on me.
622
00:29:24,161 --> 00:29:25,395
He got under my skin,
623
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:27,630
and no matter
what I do, I just...
624
00:29:28,499 --> 00:29:29,982
I can't shake him.
625
00:29:31,969 --> 00:29:34,337
Once you fall
in love with someone,
626
00:29:34,338 --> 00:29:35,721
I don't know if...
627
00:29:35,722 --> 00:29:38,925
I don't know if you
can ever shake 'em.
628
00:29:50,887 --> 00:29:51,887
I'm sorry.
629
00:29:51,888 --> 00:29:55,491
Is... is this weird?
630
00:29:55,492 --> 00:29:58,778
Talking about them
with you?
631
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,064
No.
632
00:30:02,065 --> 00:30:04,283
Not really.
633
00:30:05,702 --> 00:30:07,570
I got you
something.
634
00:30:10,340 --> 00:30:11,958
The journal?
635
00:30:11,959 --> 00:30:14,343
It's your family's.
You should have it.
636
00:30:14,344 --> 00:30:16,012
Meredith and
that idiot deputy
637
00:30:16,013 --> 00:30:17,246
were too busy
questioning you
638
00:30:17,247 --> 00:30:18,914
to give a damn
about me.
639
00:30:20,517 --> 00:30:21,750
Sometimes it pays
640
00:30:21,751 --> 00:30:23,469
to be
the only normal one
641
00:30:23,470 --> 00:30:24,937
in a town
of vampires.
642
00:30:24,938 --> 00:30:25,955
[Chuckles]
643
00:30:25,956 --> 00:30:27,907
Practically invisible.
644
00:30:39,119 --> 00:30:40,119
Are you ok?
645
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,120
Yeah. Yeah.
646
00:30:41,121 --> 00:30:42,438
I'm all right.
647
00:31:17,724 --> 00:31:19,959
They let Ric go.
648
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,662
Sheriff Forbes said
she's out of suspects again,
649
00:31:22,663 --> 00:31:25,231
but Ric is in the clear.
650
00:31:30,654 --> 00:31:33,656
I know it may not
seem like it, but...
651
00:31:33,657 --> 00:31:36,075
You did really well
tonight.
652
00:31:38,245 --> 00:31:39,762
I mean,
before you know it,
653
00:31:39,763 --> 00:31:41,731
you're gonna be
the king of moderation.
654
00:31:44,685 --> 00:31:45,818
Elena will understand.
655
00:31:45,819 --> 00:31:47,937
Doesn't really matter
what Elena thinks.
656
00:31:47,938 --> 00:31:49,438
Uh-uh. None of that.
657
00:31:50,607 --> 00:31:52,841
No more
no humanity Stefan.
658
00:31:52,842 --> 00:31:55,361
There's a road
called recovery,
659
00:31:55,362 --> 00:31:57,063
and we are on it.
660
00:31:58,365 --> 00:32:00,700
Why do you even care,
huh?
661
00:32:00,701 --> 00:32:02,735
The whole
brother-bonding thing,
662
00:32:02,736 --> 00:32:04,704
getting Elena
to hate you.
663
00:32:04,705 --> 00:32:07,573
Why, you feel guilty because you
kissed her? Is that it, Damon?
664
00:32:07,574 --> 00:32:09,775
Because you can stop.
Go back to hating me.
665
00:32:09,776 --> 00:32:11,110
It was a lot easier.
666
00:32:11,111 --> 00:32:12,795
Can you for one minute
actually believe
667
00:32:12,796 --> 00:32:14,213
that I'm trying
to help you?
668
00:32:14,214 --> 00:32:16,299
I don't need your help.
669
00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:17,717
Don't need my...
670
00:32:18,552 --> 00:32:20,536
Are you kidding me?
671
00:32:20,537 --> 00:32:23,005
Do you remember what happened
last time you said that?
672
00:32:23,006 --> 00:32:24,206
What are you talking about?
673
00:32:24,207 --> 00:32:26,642
1912, Stefan,
674
00:32:26,643 --> 00:32:30,346
the last time I convinced
you to drink human blood.
675
00:32:30,347 --> 00:32:32,064
Go ahead, Stefan.
676
00:32:32,065 --> 00:32:33,215
Pick one.
677
00:32:33,216 --> 00:32:34,767
They're people, Damon.
678
00:32:34,768 --> 00:32:36,319
Yes, they are
people, Stefan,
679
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,738
people with blood pumping
through their veins,
680
00:32:38,739 --> 00:32:43,476
waiting to be opened
up and sucked dry.
681
00:32:43,477 --> 00:32:46,061
You've just forgotten
how good it feels.
682
00:32:46,913 --> 00:32:49,949
So had I, but sage,
683
00:32:49,950 --> 00:32:51,834
she reminded me...
[Heart beating]
684
00:32:51,835 --> 00:32:53,452
It's worth it.
685
00:32:53,453 --> 00:32:54,954
It's all worth it.
686
00:33:00,076 --> 00:33:02,345
Not him, Stefan.
687
00:33:02,346 --> 00:33:04,764
Not him...
688
00:33:06,183 --> 00:33:07,183
Her.
689
00:33:07,184 --> 00:33:08,434
[Gasps]
690
00:33:08,435 --> 00:33:10,136
She's the one.
691
00:33:12,255 --> 00:33:13,922
I don't do that
anymore.
692
00:33:13,923 --> 00:33:15,224
But you can, Stefan.
693
00:33:15,225 --> 00:33:17,560
We can.
694
00:33:17,561 --> 00:33:20,196
Let the past
be the past.
695
00:33:21,365 --> 00:33:24,617
Have a drink
with me, brother.
696
00:33:36,596 --> 00:33:39,498
I knew you still
had it in you.
697
00:33:47,090 --> 00:33:48,290
Don't be greedy.
698
00:33:48,291 --> 00:33:50,125
[Growls]
699
00:33:52,462 --> 00:33:54,563
Stefan. Stefan.
700
00:34:08,995 --> 00:34:11,313
Oh, my God.
701
00:34:11,314 --> 00:34:12,748
Oh, my God.
702
00:34:12,749 --> 00:34:15,334
Help me.
703
00:34:15,335 --> 00:34:16,619
Stefan, stop.
704
00:34:16,620 --> 00:34:17,587
Stefan, stop.
705
00:34:17,588 --> 00:34:18,621
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
706
00:34:18,622 --> 00:34:19,755
Stefan, stop.
707
00:34:19,756 --> 00:34:21,757
What did you do to me?!
708
00:34:21,758 --> 00:34:22,792
Stefan.
709
00:34:22,793 --> 00:34:24,877
What did you do to me?
710
00:34:28,682 --> 00:34:29,799
[Muttering]
711
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,518
You just need to learn
when to stop.
712
00:34:32,519 --> 00:34:33,836
I can help you.
713
00:34:33,837 --> 00:34:35,304
I don't need
your help.
714
00:34:37,774 --> 00:34:40,526
Damon: The founders council
killer had nothing on you.
715
00:34:40,527 --> 00:34:44,313
By decade's end, they were calling
you the ripper of monterey.
716
00:34:45,465 --> 00:34:48,234
I let you walk away.
717
00:34:51,588 --> 00:34:53,522
I watched you
go over the edge,
718
00:34:53,523 --> 00:34:55,958
and I didn't do
anything to stop you.
719
00:35:00,547 --> 00:35:02,248
You couldn't have.
720
00:35:03,133 --> 00:35:05,167
Sure, I could have.
721
00:35:07,504 --> 00:35:09,705
But I just
didn't want to.
722
00:35:15,028 --> 00:35:16,879
But I want to now.
723
00:35:17,731 --> 00:35:19,265
Whenever you go too far,
724
00:35:19,266 --> 00:35:21,150
I will be there
to pull you back,
725
00:35:21,151 --> 00:35:23,936
every second, every day
726
00:35:23,937 --> 00:35:25,855
till you don't need me.
727
00:35:27,157 --> 00:35:28,607
Why?
728
00:35:32,729 --> 00:35:34,396
'Cause right now...
729
00:35:37,117 --> 00:35:39,034
You're all I got.
730
00:35:55,479 --> 00:35:57,558
Hey, I was gonna
make some coffee.
731
00:35:57,559 --> 00:35:59,193
I'm good.
732
00:35:59,194 --> 00:36:01,769
Gonna head to bed
in a few.
733
00:36:04,265 --> 00:36:06,484
Hey, listen, Elena.
734
00:36:06,485 --> 00:36:10,287
The, uh...
The sheriff told me
735
00:36:10,288 --> 00:36:12,957
about everything
you did today, and...
736
00:36:12,958 --> 00:36:14,742
While I appreciate it,
737
00:36:14,743 --> 00:36:19,246
I don't want you getting in
trouble because of me, ok?
738
00:36:19,247 --> 00:36:22,950
If not for you, for who?
739
00:36:22,951 --> 00:36:24,284
Well, still, I...
740
00:36:24,285 --> 00:36:26,720
I'm the one who's supposed
to look after you,
741
00:36:26,721 --> 00:36:29,957
even if
I suck at it.
742
00:36:29,958 --> 00:36:30,975
Ok, well,
743
00:36:30,976 --> 00:36:32,960
how 'bout we just agree
744
00:36:32,961 --> 00:36:35,679
to take care of
each other, then?
745
00:36:37,232 --> 00:36:40,067
Heh. Deal.
746
00:36:40,068 --> 00:36:41,301
[Chuckles]
747
00:36:41,302 --> 00:36:42,736
What are you
reading there?
748
00:36:43,805 --> 00:36:45,105
Old family journal.
749
00:36:45,106 --> 00:36:47,324
Any juicy
family secrets?
750
00:36:47,325 --> 00:36:48,809
It's hard to tell.
751
00:36:48,810 --> 00:36:51,862
I mean, at first, I thought it
was Jonathan Gilbert's journal,
752
00:36:51,863 --> 00:36:54,081
but it ended up being
his granddaughter's,
753
00:36:54,082 --> 00:36:57,618
who apparently went
just as crazy as he did,
754
00:36:57,619 --> 00:37:01,589
so great genes, huh?
755
00:37:01,590 --> 00:37:04,992
Well, at least you have
something to look forward to.
756
00:37:04,993 --> 00:37:06,093
Good night, Ric.
757
00:37:06,094 --> 00:37:08,045
Night.
758
00:37:10,498 --> 00:37:12,666
[Playing piano]
759
00:37:16,471 --> 00:37:20,808
So I, uh... I dug into the old
family archives from the early 1900s.
760
00:37:20,809 --> 00:37:22,960
So now you want
to be helpful.
761
00:37:25,013 --> 00:37:27,481
Want me to go back
to being mad at you?
762
00:37:30,735 --> 00:37:31,735
What'd you find?
763
00:37:31,736 --> 00:37:34,354
Well, nothing from 1912.
764
00:37:34,355 --> 00:37:36,040
They never
did arrest anyone
765
00:37:36,041 --> 00:37:37,741
for the founders' murders,
766
00:37:37,742 --> 00:37:41,495
but they did get
a confession 10 years later.
767
00:37:41,496 --> 00:37:44,081
They did? Who?
768
00:37:44,082 --> 00:37:47,501
Jonathan Gilbert's
granddaughter Samantha.
769
00:37:47,502 --> 00:37:49,003
They assumed
she was crazy,
770
00:37:49,004 --> 00:37:51,138
locked her up
in an insane asylum.
771
00:37:51,139 --> 00:37:52,139
Then what?
772
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:53,574
Trail ends there.
773
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:55,092
I mean,
she was a founder.
774
00:37:55,093 --> 00:37:57,711
You know they like
to look out for their own.
775
00:37:57,712 --> 00:37:59,379
Samantha Gilbert.
776
00:37:59,380 --> 00:38:02,683
That is very weird.
777
00:38:02,684 --> 00:38:03,901
Why?
778
00:38:03,902 --> 00:38:07,220
Because I'm pretty sure
I had already killed her.
779
00:38:09,190 --> 00:38:11,325
I know what this
looks like.
780
00:38:11,326 --> 00:38:12,643
Yeah? Well,
I sure as hell don't.
781
00:38:12,644 --> 00:38:14,394
You shoot me,
you have me thrown in jail,
782
00:38:14,395 --> 00:38:15,663
and then you
have me freed.
783
00:38:15,664 --> 00:38:16,830
I did it for you, Ric.
784
00:38:16,831 --> 00:38:19,216
I forged the coroner's note
to clear your name.
785
00:38:19,217 --> 00:38:20,951
Oh. You know what?
People are right.
786
00:38:20,952 --> 00:38:22,453
You are psycho.
Yeah...
787
00:38:22,454 --> 00:38:24,004
Now that you've
been cleared,
788
00:38:24,005 --> 00:38:25,005
they'll look
somewhere else.
789
00:38:25,006 --> 00:38:26,340
They won't look
your way again.
790
00:38:27,292 --> 00:38:29,543
Please,
you have no reason,
791
00:38:29,544 --> 00:38:31,912
but I need you
to trust me anyway.
792
00:38:32,747 --> 00:38:35,299
If you let me in,
I can explain.
793
00:38:51,265 --> 00:38:53,901
Samantha: I don't
feel like myself.
794
00:38:56,571 --> 00:38:58,289
I am losing time...
795
00:38:58,290 --> 00:38:59,940
As though I am going mad.
796
00:39:01,776 --> 00:39:04,094
So you think
Samantha Gilbert's
797
00:39:04,095 --> 00:39:07,214
still alive,
running around Mystic Falls,
798
00:39:07,215 --> 00:39:08,782
killing founders?
799
00:39:08,783 --> 00:39:10,000
It's not possible.
800
00:39:10,001 --> 00:39:12,636
If she became a vampire,
we'd know about it, right?
801
00:39:12,637 --> 00:39:16,006
Well, then she must have had a ring
that brought her back to life.
802
00:39:16,007 --> 00:39:19,143
I mean, she was
a... a Gilbert, right?
803
00:39:19,144 --> 00:39:21,261
Those rings are passed on
through generations.
804
00:39:21,262 --> 00:39:23,463
Yeah, but even if
she had a ring,
805
00:39:23,464 --> 00:39:24,848
she wouldn't
be alive today.
806
00:39:24,849 --> 00:39:26,567
Doesn't protect her
from old age.
807
00:39:26,568 --> 00:39:29,069
Jonathan Gilbert
only made two of those rings.
808
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:32,072
Jeremy has one of 'em,
and the other is...
809
00:39:33,825 --> 00:39:35,526
Alaric's.
810
00:39:37,495 --> 00:39:39,446
Like the sheriff said,
811
00:39:39,447 --> 00:39:41,415
the victims were killed
with your weapons.
812
00:39:41,416 --> 00:39:43,767
Damon: Why the stake?
He's not a vampire.
813
00:39:43,768 --> 00:39:45,936
I know.
This was a murder.
814
00:39:45,937 --> 00:39:47,121
Oh, my God. Dad.
815
00:39:47,122 --> 00:39:49,006
Someone drove this
stake through his heart.
816
00:39:49,007 --> 00:39:49,991
It's one of ours.
817
00:39:49,992 --> 00:39:51,091
Yeah,
but I was attacked.
818
00:39:51,092 --> 00:39:52,159
With your own knife,
819
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,094
a wound that could
have been self-inflicted.
820
00:39:54,095 --> 00:39:55,045
It's impossible.
821
00:39:55,046 --> 00:39:57,214
I would know if I
were killing people.
822
00:39:57,215 --> 00:39:59,266
Would you? Have you
had any blackouts,
823
00:39:59,267 --> 00:40:01,135
instances of lost time?
824
00:40:02,220 --> 00:40:03,887
Y-you're insane.
825
00:40:03,888 --> 00:40:06,840
No, but I think
you might be.
826
00:40:08,276 --> 00:40:10,978
You wear a ring that lets
you cheat death, Ric.
827
00:40:10,979 --> 00:40:13,947
How many times can you
die before it changes you?
828
00:40:20,321 --> 00:40:21,688
I think you're sick,
829
00:40:21,689 --> 00:40:23,690
and I want to help you.
830
00:40:23,691 --> 00:40:26,377
This has happened before
831
00:40:26,378 --> 00:40:27,828
almost 100 years ago.
832
00:40:27,829 --> 00:40:28,996
[Footstep]
833
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,200
Elena.
834
00:40:37,088 --> 00:40:38,922
Ric, I think she's right.
