DAMON: The cure to vampirism.
BONNIE: You wanted it for Elena.

00:00:06,382 --> 00:00:07,425
DAMON:
What if I don't now?
4
00:00:07,591 --> 00:00:10,177
If anyone tries to flip
my humanity switch back on...
5
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:12,179
...I'll become your worst nightmare.

Hello, Mother.
9
00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:20,896
You believe that I can reconnect Stefan
with his humanity?
10
00:00:21,063 --> 00:00:22,648
And once we've done that?
11
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:24,567
Then we will go rescue my friends?
12
00:00:24,734 --> 00:00:28,029
They were known as heretics.
Vampires with witch power.
13
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:30,740
That woman made me a monster
and then abandoned me.

CAROLINE:
Who's that?
15
00:00:32,116 --> 00:00:34,744
It's Damon's lame attempt
to get my humanity back on.
16
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:38,080
Let me guess, then you get
my humanity back on. I don't think so.
17
00:00:39,915 --> 00:00:41,959
I will never leave you again.
18
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:47,339

19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,467
You have to go after Caroline.
20
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:50,801
I'll find her.
21
00:01:01,312 --> 00:01:03,981
Aw, an angel.
22
00:01:04,732 --> 00:01:06,400
How cute is this place?
23
00:01:06,567 --> 00:01:08,903
- It's adorable.
- Okay, so I'll bite.
24
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:10,446
You hunt me down at a bar...
25
00:01:10,613 --> 00:01:13,199
...where I'm perfectly content
feeding on waitstaff...
26
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:15,785
...so you can whine about how
your mom is a bitch...
27
00:01:15,951 --> 00:01:18,245
What kind of mother
doesn't love her own children?
28
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:21,248
Whatever. So she spun you a web of lies...
29
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:23,751
...and couldn't flip
your humanity switch back on.
30
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:25,336
And now you wanna eat people.
31
00:01:25,503 --> 00:01:28,130
Which I am totally down for.
32
00:01:28,756 --> 00:01:32,718
So, what the hell are we doing
in a B&B in Grove Hill?
33
00:01:32,885 --> 00:01:35,805
Well, I figure we could...
34
00:01:35,971 --> 00:01:37,098
...take a little break.
35
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:39,517
Oh.
36
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:40,935
Duh.
37
00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:45,648
STEFAN: First step, convince her
that my humanity is still off.
38
00:01:45,815 --> 00:01:49,318
My run-in with our mother had no effect
and I wanna keep the party going.
39
00:01:49,485 --> 00:01:50,820
Oh, look at that.
40
00:01:50,986 --> 00:01:52,238
Saint Stefan has a plan.
41
00:01:52,404 --> 00:01:55,783
Let me guess, whoever's holding the kitten
talks about their feelings?
42
00:01:56,033 --> 00:01:59,036
- Torture her until she breaks.
- Sold.
43
00:01:59,203 --> 00:02:01,455
Do I need to remind you two
that the last time...
44
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:05,417
...Caroline thought we were trying to flip
her switch she went on a killing spree?
45
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:07,753
She's not gonna find out this time.
46
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:11,882
- Who are you calling?
- Can I get some towels...
47
00:02:12,049 --> 00:02:13,551
...sent up to the room, please?
48
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:14,927
Thank you.
49
00:02:15,511 --> 00:02:19,140
I'm hungry, so I figure we could eat
whoever brings them up.
50
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:21,642
See? He'll be convincing.
51
00:02:21,809 --> 00:02:25,980
Say she believes you. How do you know
she's even gonna want to see you again?
52
00:02:26,147 --> 00:02:27,523
Oh, she'll wanna see him.
53
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:31,110
- Damon, shut up.
- It's a bit of a tricky bet for you, isn't it?
54
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:33,320
- She's gonna expect a lot.
ELENA: Okay.
55
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:35,239
- What am I missing here?
- Nothing.
56
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:36,448
ELENA:
Hang on a second.
57
00:02:36,615 --> 00:02:39,076
- Did you and Caroline...?
DAMON: Do it?
58
00:02:39,243 --> 00:02:40,703
- Yup.
ELENA: Oh.
59
00:02:40,953 --> 00:02:43,122
This was after she flipped...?
60
00:02:43,289 --> 00:02:45,624
- Never mind.
- It's not how I wanted it to go down.
61
00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:47,877
But I can't change it now,
so can we drop it?
62
00:02:48,043 --> 00:02:49,879
Okay, sore subject.
63
00:02:50,045 --> 00:02:51,130
Understood.
64
00:02:51,297 --> 00:02:53,966
- What do we do once you earn her trust?
STEFAN: Drain her blood.
65
00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:57,261
Make her weak, bombard her
with everything she used to care about.
66
00:02:57,428 --> 00:03:00,264
Memories of who she was,
her friendships, her mom.
67
00:03:00,431 --> 00:03:02,725
- Did you bring it?
- Yes.
68
00:03:03,809 --> 00:03:06,770
DAMON: What is that?
- Got rid of everything from her former life.
69
00:03:06,937 --> 00:03:10,482
Her mom had sent this letter, intending
for it to arrive after she died...
70
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,861
...which it did, but Caroline
had already flipped her switch.
71
00:03:14,111 --> 00:03:15,487
- It could work.
DAMON: Sure.
72
00:03:15,654 --> 00:03:19,325
Unless she wants Sexy Stefan time
instead of an assault on memory lane.
73
00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:21,368
I'm not gonna let that happen.
74
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:26,207
Now what are you doing?

- I'm just in the 'hood.

Thanks. What is this?

Uh, it's a mocha latte frappe-something.
I don't know. I guessed.

Clearly. So Elena told me you guys
found Caroline, which is great.

Funny she didn't mention anything
about a cure for vampirism.

- I didn't.

- Well, I've been busy.

You know, my mom's in town.
I had to vampire-proof a B&B.

Any idea how many people
I had to compel to make that happen?
101

which makes me wonder...

...how you had time
to bring your bud a coffee. Hmm?

Yeah, me neither.

thinks she'll use...

...to pull her friends
out of the 1903 prison world.

But we're not letting her people out.

Well, I may have reinforced
that possibility...
108
00:05:05,306 --> 00:05:07,683
...when I gave the ascendant
to her for safekeeping.

her friends are vampires who can do magic.
112

I think the PC term is witch-pire.
113
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:21,613
The term is freaks
we've never dealt with before.
114
00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:26,201
It doesn't matter because she needs you to do
the spell to open the door to 1903, Bonnie.
115
00:05:26,368 --> 00:05:28,871
- So she's gonna come looking for me.
- So we stall her.

Look, Lily's like a bill collector. Dodge her
calls long enough she'll leave you alone.

This is where I pretend to care
about how our cake tastes.

173
00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:32,262
I forget, Stefan, was that before...
174
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:35,182
...or after she killed some waitress
for no reason?
175
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:36,433
I think it was after.
176
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,726
[CHUCKLES]
177
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:40,979
You see, Stefan and I
are just finding it a little ironic...
178
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:45,859
...that you think you're qualified to tell us
how to deal with the death of a loved one.
179
00:08:46,318 --> 00:08:48,779
I'm not here to preach to you, Caroline.
180
00:08:49,321 --> 00:08:50,864
I just came to show you this.
181
00:08:52,241 --> 00:08:56,453
This letter from your mom arrived at our
dorm just a few days after her funeral.
182
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:59,498
Apparently, there was something
she wanted to tell you.
183
00:09:07,089 --> 00:09:09,091
Does this look real to you?
184
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:14,221
Her impeccably perfect handwriting?
Yup.
185
00:09:15,097 --> 00:09:18,267
Yeah, I remember when she taught me
how to write my name in cursive.
186
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:23,355
So what?
187
00:09:23,522 --> 00:09:28,402
Am I supposed to read this and snap back
to sad, pathetic, motherless Caroline?
188
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:32,698
- Burn it.
- What?
189
00:09:33,156 --> 00:09:36,243
Did I say stand there and look stupid?
No.
190
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:38,579
I said, burn it.
191
00:09:38,745 --> 00:09:42,541
Well, maybe I should read it first.
192
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:44,167
Why do you care?
193
00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:46,461
What happens if you get
your humanity back...
194
00:09:46,628 --> 00:09:50,090
...and hate me for destroying the last
thing your mom wanted to say to you?
195
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:53,969
Did those words seriously
just come out of your mouth? God.
196
00:09:58,974 --> 00:10:00,892
Burn it. Now.
197
00:10:01,059 --> 00:10:02,144
Stefan, don't.
198
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:08,567
No.
199
00:10:13,822 --> 00:10:15,240
No.
200
00:10:18,827 --> 00:10:20,412
Sorry, Elena.
201
00:10:20,996 --> 00:10:24,833
But if you want us back, you're gonna
have to try a lot harder than that.
202
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,694
BONNIE [OVER PHONE]: Hey, Matt.
MATT: Hey.
203
00:10:52,861 --> 00:10:56,990
Is the woman who looks like she's never been
in a restaurant before your lunch date?
204
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:58,784
Great. She's early.
205
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:00,369
MATT:
What do you want me to do?
206
00:11:00,702 --> 00:11:02,871
Just wait 10 minutes,
tell her I'm running late.
207
00:11:03,038 --> 00:11:04,790
Stall her till I find what I need.
208
00:11:04,956 --> 00:11:06,500
Okay.
209
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:13,256
Thought you were off
learning to be a sheriff.
210
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:16,009
Thanks to Stefan and Caroline,
I can barely tie my shoe.
211
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:19,513
- What, are you here to stalk someone?
- I'm through with all that.
212
00:11:19,763 --> 00:11:22,933
I've decided a direct approach is best.
213
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:26,103
- One of your diners owes me answers.
- I can't have any trouble.
214
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:29,648
That will depend on how
this conversation goes.
215
00:11:32,234 --> 00:11:33,485
I know you.
216
00:11:33,652 --> 00:11:36,780
- You came to my house a few days ago.
- Yes.
217
00:11:37,072 --> 00:11:40,075
And as chance would have it,
your son and I are old friends.
218
00:11:42,244 --> 00:11:44,371
My God.
219
00:11:45,539 --> 00:11:47,082
Lorenzo.
220
00:11:47,249 --> 00:11:49,793
- It's you.
- So you two know each other?
221
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:53,338
The phrase "small world" comes to mind.
222
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:55,465
So does "epic understatement."
223
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:01,805
My lunch companion has yet to arrive.
Won't you join me for a drink?
224
00:12:02,264 --> 00:12:03,932
Don't mind if I do.
225
00:12:07,728 --> 00:12:09,438
She burned the letter.
226
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:11,189
That was my ace in the hole.
227
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:12,441
I blew it.
228
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,402
Look.
229
00:12:15,944 --> 00:12:20,115
The fact that you suck at torturing people
is nothing to be ashamed of.
230
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:22,993
That's why you have me.
231
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,788
At least Alaric and Jo can cross this
off their list of honeymoon options.
232
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,623
- They had a list?
- Mm-hm.
233
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:31,626
Jo's pregnant.
They didn't want to have to fly anywhere.
234
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:33,170
Do you have a list?
235
00:12:33,336 --> 00:12:37,632
Of where I'd go on my fictional honeymoon
before I gave birth to my fictional baby? No.
236
00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:39,509
But not here.
237
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:42,596
- I thought you liked this place.
- Really?
238
00:12:42,763 --> 00:12:45,807
What part of extreme floral patterns
screams Elena Gilbert to you?
239
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:50,103
Excuse me. I guess we've never played
the Let's Pretend We're Human fantasy game.
240
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:52,606
All right. Let's play.
241
00:12:52,939 --> 00:12:54,107
You're human.
242
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:56,651
- Five years from now, where are you?
- With you.
243
00:12:56,818 --> 00:12:59,821
- Boring. I'll need a zip code.
- Okay.
244
00:13:00,197 --> 00:13:01,656
In a loft in Tribeca.
245
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:03,366
Above the bar that you work at.
246
00:13:03,658 --> 00:13:06,369
You made me Matt Donovan
in your fantasy?
247
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:09,289
Okay, you own the bar.
248
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:13,877
And when you're not working there,
you're on our couch...
249
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:17,756
...pouring me wine and massaging my feet
after a long day at the OR.
250
00:13:18,715 --> 00:13:20,592
I'm in the surgical residency program.
251
00:13:21,176 --> 00:13:23,094
Of course you are.
252
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:26,348
- Kids?
- Yeah. Of course. Eventually.
253
00:13:26,932 --> 00:13:29,559
But we should probably have two.
254
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:32,437
You know, so they can
keep each other company...
255
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:33,980
...when we're, you know...
256
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,983
...distracted by other things.
257
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:45,116
You got it all figured out, don't you?
258
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:49,246
How about you? Your turn.
Five years from now, where are you?
259
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:54,417
CAROLINE:
Ugh. This is torture.
260
00:13:55,085 --> 00:13:57,128
Sounds like the rats are restless.
261
00:13:57,295 --> 00:14:01,174
Ugh. Like actual torture.
262
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:06,137
Elena and Damon
talking about their future together.
263
00:14:06,721 --> 00:14:09,933
- I want to die.
- They'll make a mistake eventually.
264
00:14:10,225 --> 00:14:12,269
And when they do, we will pounce.
265
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:15,981
- Drain the first person we get our teeth on.
- Oh, my God.
266
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:19,776
What I would do
for just a sip of human blood.
267
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:27,701
You know when you're feeding
on someone's neck...
268
00:14:27,868 --> 00:14:32,038
...and their artery's still pulsing?
269
00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:35,625
I really love that.
270
00:14:36,877 --> 00:14:38,169
I thought...
271
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:41,298
...your veins felt like sandpaper.
272
00:14:41,464 --> 00:14:43,216
They do.
273
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:45,552
So take my mind off it.
274
00:14:59,274 --> 00:15:01,067
- Bored yet?
- Go away, Damon.
275
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:04,195
Brought you some real light reading
from the true crime section.
276
00:15:06,531 --> 00:15:10,327
Curious. Which one of you idiots
attacked a stadium security guard...
277
00:15:10,493 --> 00:15:12,454
...and stuffed him in a laundry cart?
278
00:15:12,621 --> 00:15:15,290
- That would have been me.
DAMON: Nice technique.
279
00:15:15,457 --> 00:15:18,960
It's probably good your mom's gone.
That would've been a hell of a cover-up.
280
00:15:19,127 --> 00:15:20,962
CAROLINE:
Why are you only picking on me?
281
00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:24,007
Stefan's in here too. Annoy him.
282
00:15:24,174 --> 00:15:27,385
Because Stefan didn't
snap a barback's clavicle in half.
283
00:15:27,552 --> 00:15:29,095
It's really quite sad, actually.
284
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:31,640
I could see Liz right now
calling the parents...
285
00:15:31,806 --> 00:15:34,809
...breaking the news, wondering
where she went wrong as a mother.
286
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,978
She got cancer, Damon.
287
00:15:37,145 --> 00:15:38,480
That is where she went wrong.
288
00:15:38,647 --> 00:15:40,982
Oh. Blame her.
289
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:42,692
A healthy attitude, Caroline.
290
00:15:42,859 --> 00:15:44,152
You know what, you're right.
291
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:48,239
I should really
just be more like you and Elena...
292
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:51,493
...and just play make-believe
about the future that I can't have.
293
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,328
Because that's healthy.
294
00:15:53,495 --> 00:15:57,457
Maybe I'll pretend I can actually
give birth to babies...
295
00:15:57,624 --> 00:15:59,292
...and have a normal family.
296
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:04,339
And I could get a job without having to
move and start over every five years.
297
00:16:04,881 --> 00:16:08,301
And I can operate on my patients
without wanting to feed on them.
298
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:11,554
- You're a real bitch when you're hungry.
CAROLINE: I'm curious, Damon.
299
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:15,809
How does it feel to know that you can't
give someone a life that she really wants?
300
00:16:15,976 --> 00:16:17,310
Shut up, Caroline.
301
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:19,938
I'm just stating the facts, Elena.
302
00:16:20,105 --> 00:16:22,065
Yeah, you don't want this life.
303
00:16:22,941 --> 00:16:26,903
And you can play
fantasy land all you want...
304
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:29,572
...but in this life,
the one where you're a vampire...
305
00:16:29,739 --> 00:16:31,282
...you'll always be settling.
306
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:34,494
And it's just so sad.
307
00:16:34,786 --> 00:16:36,287
- I can't listen to this.
- Elena.
308
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:38,707
I don't want to hear it, okay?
309
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:51,219
May I please have a chicken sandwich?
310
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:53,013
And a bowl of soup?
311
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:56,099
You bet. And that comes
with a side of fries or skins.
312
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:58,810
I'm sorry, did you say skins?
313
00:17:00,311 --> 00:17:02,439
I'm afraid I don't know what that is.
314
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:04,441
Neither, thanks. And I'm not eating.
315
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:08,820
That was painful.
316
00:17:08,987 --> 00:17:11,906
What, your all-blood diet make you forget
how restaurants work?
317
00:17:12,115 --> 00:17:13,867
My first time, actually.
318
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,119
How did I do? Was I a blithering idiot?
319
00:17:16,453 --> 00:17:19,289
- What are you talking about?
- Oh, I figured you were aware.
320
00:17:19,706 --> 00:17:22,417
I've been imprisoned
for the last 100 years.
321
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:23,835
That old chestnut.
322
00:17:26,129 --> 00:17:30,341
Lily, you turned me and left me on a
passenger ship full of headless corpses.
323
00:17:31,009 --> 00:17:33,762
Wouldn't it be easier to say
you forgot what cabin I was in?
324
00:17:33,928 --> 00:17:35,805
If only that were the case.
325
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:40,685
No, the night I turned you, my friends
and I were captured by the Gemini Coven.
326
00:17:43,855 --> 00:17:45,607
Oh, I see.
327
00:17:46,024 --> 00:17:49,069
All this time, you thought
that I abandoned you.
328
00:17:53,323 --> 00:17:55,241
I would never do that, Lorenzo.
329
00:18:00,872 --> 00:18:04,834
I will thank you not to mention
headless corpses again.
330
00:18:05,502 --> 00:18:07,420
Those habits are all in the past.
331
00:18:07,587 --> 00:18:11,382
At least it gives you and Stefan
something to bond over.
332
00:18:14,969 --> 00:18:16,304
Or maybe not.
333
00:18:18,223 --> 00:18:20,433
It's not their fault...
334
00:18:21,101 --> 00:18:23,770
...but they remind me
of a very dark time in my life.
335
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:26,272
Not one for the maternal instincts, I see.
336
00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:28,441
On the contrary...
337
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:30,401
...they were directed elsewhere.
338
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:34,280
You see, I was trapped in that prison world
with six others...
339
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:38,701
...caring for them as we starved...
340
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:43,164
...surviving on two drops of blood a week
just to preserve our rations.
