[Bulgaria]

(Katherine is delivering a baby. She's with her mother)

Mother: A little more dearest, a little more

(She pushes and screams. She delivers her baby. Her mother takes it. Her father is watching)

Mother: It's a girl

Katherine: A girl. Please mother, let me see her

Father: Woman, don't! What are you doing?

(She gives the baby to her husband)

Katherine: Let me at least hold her once… just once

Father: Forget it! You have disgraced this family

(He leaves the room with the baby. Katherine cries and screams)

Katherine: Father, please! No, father, no!

Mother: No Katerina, it's better for her!

(Her mother embraces her. Katherine is still crying)

Katherine: No mother, please

Mother: Let her go… let her go Katerina

Katherine: Please, mama…

Nowadays

[Salvatore's house]

(Elena is knocking on the door. Damon opens it)

Damon: Hello, Elena

Elena: Stefan's here? He called. He said it was important

Damon: Right this way

(She enters the house. Stefan arrives)

Stefan: Hey

Elena: What is this about?

(Rose arrives)

Elena: You

(They go in the living room. Elena is sitting on the couch)

Rose: Okay, you have to understand I only know what I've picked up over the years and I don't know what's true and what's not true. It's the problem with all this vampire crap but Klaus, I know he's real

Elena: Who is he?

Damon: He's one of the originals, he's a legend

Stefan: from the first generation of vampires

Elena: Like Elijah

Rose: No. Elijah was the least of any compared to Klaus. He's a felsojah. Klaus is a real deal

Stefan: Klaus is known to be the oldest

Elena: Okay, so you're saying that the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?

Rose: Yes

Stefan: No

Damon: What they're saying is, I mean if what she's saying is true…

Rose: Which it is

Damon: And you're saying it so I don't kill you

Rose: Which I'm not

Damon: Then we're looking at a solid maybe

Stefan: Look, Elijah's dead, right? So no one else even know that you exist

Rose: Not that you know off

Damon: That's not helping

Stefan: Look, I've never even met anyone who's laid eyes on him. I mean, we're talking centuries of truth mixed with fiction. We don't know if he's real. For all we know he could just be some sort of stupid bed time stories

Rose: He's real and he doesn't give up. If he wants something, he gets it. If you're not afraid of Klaus, then you're an idiot

Damon: Aright, we're shaking. You made your point

(Elena gets up)

Stefan: Where are you going?

Elena: At school. I'm late

Stefan: Let me grab my stuff, I'll go with you

Elena: It's okay, I know where it is

(She leaves)

Damon (to Rose): She's in denial

Stefan: Shut up, Damon

[Mystic Falls' high school]

(Bonnie arrives at school. One of her books fall on the floor. Jeremy arrives)

Jeremy: Here, I got it

Bonnie: Thanks. Where is Elena?

Jeremy: She's actually running late today. What are you doing later? You want to hang out at the grill, shoot some pool? The winner owns the table

Bonnie: Uh, why?

Jeremy: What why?

Bonnie: Well, you never asked me to play pool before so why know?

Jeremy: Uh, I don't know, I thought it'd be fun, never mind

Bonnie: No, hey, okay. Sure. It's just

Jeremy: Just what?

Bonnie: It's just you're Elena's brother and… sure. It's just I'm really bad at pool

Jeremy: Yeah, yeah. I thought you might be

(A boy arrives)

Luka: Excuse me! Do you guys know which way is the office?

Jeremy: Yeah, yeah. Through the double doors then straight ahead then quick left and then your first right. You must be new here

Luka: Yeah, I am. It's kind of hard to hide it. My name's Luka

Jeremy: I'm Jeremy, this is Bonnie

Luka: Hi, Bonnie

(They look at each other. Jeremy looks at them)

Jeremy: Anyway, Luka. I'm actually heading to that direction. Why you don't follow me? It can get confusing

Luka: Thanks man. It's nice to meet you Bonnie

(He looks at her and leaves with Jeremy)

[The woods]

(Elena is with Caroline. Elena is carrying a bag)

Elena: Tell everyone I wasn't feeling well and I went home instead of school

Caroline: I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. I'm a terrible liar

Elena: And keep Stefan busy. I don't want him to know what I'm up to

Caroline: I'm even worse at duplicity and you know this

Elena: You managed to keep me occupied when Katherine paid Stefan a visit

Caroline: Yeah, because she threatened me. Not that I'm saying that you should use that as a tactic, it's… Stefan's gonna see right through me

Elena: Caroline, as my friend, do you promise or not?

Caroline: you had to break out the girlfriend code. Okay. I promise

Elena: Okay

Caroline: Why don't you want Stefan to know?

Elena: Because he would never be okay with me doing this

(They go under the church ruins. They stop in front of the tomb's door)

Caroline: Are you sure you want to do this?

Elena: Yes, I'm sure. She's the only one who knows the truth about Klaus. The only one who can tell me how to stop him

Caroline: But you're asking for the truth from someone who's probably never giving it. Are you sure about this?

Elena: Yeah. I just can't stay back and wait. I have to know, Caroline. Please

(Caroline goes toward the door and opens it)

Elena: Katherine?

(She looks at Caroline)

Elena: I'll be okay from here

(They hear noise. Elena turns her head and looks at the door entrance. Katherine arrives and stops at the entrance)

Katherine: Hello Elena. You come to watch me wither away? Goodbye Caroline

Elena: As long as I stay on this side on the door, she can't hurt me. Please

(Caroline looks at them and leaves)

Katherine: Stefan knows you're here?

Elena: I brought you some things

Katherine: You came to bribe me? What is it that you want?

Elena: I want you to tell me about Klaus

Katherine: Hmm, you've been busy

Elena: I also brought you this

(She takes an old book from the bag)

Elena: It's your family history. It says in here that the family line ended with you. Obviously that's not true

Katherine: You think that if you brought me some family keepsake then I'd open up?

Elena: I also brought you this

(She takes a bottle of blood from the bag and shows it to Katherine. Katherine rushes over Elena but she can't get out because of the spell)

Elena: You don't look so good. How long before your body shuts down? 10, 20 years? It must be painful to desiccate and mummify. I can't even imagine

(Katherine sits down on the floor. Elena puts some blood in a glass and gives it to her. Katherine takes the glass and drink)

Katherine: You have the Petrova fire

Elena: More blood?

(Katherine puts the glass on the floor. Elea takes it)

Katherine: It's a long story, Klaus and i. it was all the way back to England, 1492, after I left Bulgaria or was thrown out

Elena: Thrown out?

Katherine: My family, your true ancestors, they disowned me. My indiscretions were not tolerated at that time. I had a baby at a Winlock. A shame

Elena: It was kept secret?

Katherine: Hum hum. My baby was given away. I was banished to England and I had to learn to adjust so I quickly became English. It was there that I caught the eye of a noble man name Klaus. I was taking with him at first until I found out what he was and what he wanted from me and then I ran like hell

1492

[England, the woods]

(Katherine is running. She falls and hides behind a tree. Elijah and his men are looking for her)

Elijah: She's here. Katerina! I know you're near, I can smell your blood. It's pointless to run, Klaus will find you wherever you are

(Trevor arrives and indicates them a false direction)

Trevor: This way. There is more blood over there

(They leave. Katherine gets up. She tries to leave but Trevor arrives, puts a finger on her mouth and pushes her against the tree)

Trevor: Head east. I can't distract them much longer

Katherine: I can't run anymore

Trevor: Never mind. There's a cottage. You'll be safe there. Go now. Go!

(She leaves)

Nowadays

[The tomb]

Elena: So, what did Klaus want?

Katherine: The same thing that he wants from you. He wants to break the curse

Elena: By sacrificing the Petrova doppelganger

Katherine: He wanted to drain every single drop of blood of my body

[Salvatore's house]

(Rose is crying. Damon arrives)

Damon: Alright rosebud. I need some answers. Oh please don't tell me you're crying ‘cause your buddy Trevor lost his head

Rose: You've always been this sensitive?

Damon: Full vampire switch for this very reason. Takes the emotion out of it

Rose: Yeah, you switch yours, I'll switch mine

Damon: Is that a dig?

Rose: It's an observation. Being in love with your brother's girlfriend must be difficult

Damon: I'm not in love with anyone

Rose: You want to try that again?

Damon: Don't get on my bad side

Rose: Then show me your good side

Damon: How do I find Klaus?

Rose: You don't find Klaus, he finds you

Damon: Come on. Somebody's got to know somebody who knows where he is, right?

Rose: Add another two hundred somebodies to that and you're still not even close

Damon: Humor me. You got in touch with Elijah, how did you do it?

Rose: Through a very low somebody on the churching poll. A guy name Slater in Richmond

Damon: Perfect. I'll drive

Rose: No. You forget not all of us can do sun

Damon: Then you drive. Come on

[Mystic Falls' high school]

Caroline: Stefan!

Stefan: Hey

Caroline: Hey. Uh, I need to talk to you. Where are you going?

Stefan: Well, Elena went home sick; I just want to go check up on her

Caroline: Ditcher

Stefan: I'm kind of worried about her

Caroline: You know what? Of course you are. Go ahead, I'd… you know what? We can talk later

Stefan: Uh, talk about what?

Caroline: I might have done something

Stefan: What did you do?

Caroline: Told Tyler I'm a vampire

[The tomb]

(Elena gives another glass of blood to Katherine)

Elena: What does the Petrova blood line have to do with Klaus?

Katherine: It's really tedious but…

(She drinks. She looks better)

Katherine: The curse was bind by the sacrifice of Petrova blood. Witches are crafty with their spells. The doppelganger was created as a way to be able to undo the spell. Once the doppelganger reappeared, the curse can be broken

Elena: So you ran before he killed you

Katherine: Something like that

1492

[England, a cottage]

(Katherine arrives at a cottage. She knocks on the door)

Katherine: Help, please help me

(An old woman opens the door)

Katherine: Please, help me

Woman: I don't invite strangers into my home

Katherine: No, Trevor. He said that you'd help me

(Rose arrives)

Rose: Damn him. Always making promises I don't want to keep

(She looks at Katherine)

Rose: Let the girl in

(Katherine enters the house and sits down)

Katherine: You must be Rose. Thank you. Trevor said to show you this

(She shows her the moonstone)

Katherine: To prove I am who I say and that you'd help me to freedom

Rose: You stole this from Klaus?

Katherine: It was to be part of the sacrifice, so I grabbed it and made my escape

Rose: People do not escape from Klaus. Everyone who tries ends up back in his grass and anyone who helps them dies

Katherine: I know the risk you bring on yourself by giving me aid

Rose: I'm risking nothing. At nightfall, I'll bring you back to Klaus and beg him to show us both mercy

(She catches Katherine and pushes her in an empty room)

Katherine: No! No!

(Rose closes the door)

Nowadays

[Somewhere, a coffee shop]

(Rose and Damon are parking the car in a underground parking lot)

Damon: Back entrance. How convenient

Rose: That's the point. We can't all have little daylight rings

Damon: How do you know this Slater guy is even here?

Rose: I called him. He's here. He's always here

Damon: Good

(He pushes her against the wall)

Damon: Just one thing. If you're setting me up in any way, I will rip your heart out and shave it down your throat. It's something I'm very good at

(Rose catches him and pushes him against the car)

Rose: I'm older than you and stronger. Don't get on my bad side

(She releases him)

Rose: You can trust me

(They enter in the coffee shop)

Damon: Whoa. What about the sunlight?

Rose: Double painted and temped. UV rays can't penetrate. You see the appeal know?

(Slater rejoins them)

Slater: That and the free Wi-Fi

(She embraces him)

Rose: Hey, how are you?

Slater: Good. I saw you come, what are you doing here?

Rose: Mmm, it's a long story but I want you to meet…

Slater: Damon Salvatore. Turned 1864 in Mystic Falls by Katherine Pierce aka Katerina Petrova. So I take it I was right, what I told you about the tomb under the church was true?

Rose: Yes. It was right. Thank you for the tip

(He looks at Damon)

Slater: It's nice to meet you, maybe. What's going on Rose? Where is Trevor?

[The tomb]

Elena: Rose never ended up taking you back to Klaus, did she?

Katherine: No but not because she had a change of heart

1492

[England, a cottage]

(Rose enters the room. Katherine is on a bed)

Rose: its nightfall. Time to go

(She sees that Katherine is hurt. She's bleeding)

Rose: When did this happen?

Katherine: In the woods, I tripped

Rose: It's a lie, I would have smelled it

(She finds a knife in Katherine's hand and takes it)

Katherine: Rather die than go back to Klaus. Please, just let me die

Rose: If you die then Trevor dies with you

(She bites her wrist and puts it in Katherine's mouth so she can drink her blood. Her wounds heal. Trevor arrives)

Trevor: Where is she?

(Rose rushes over him and leave Katherine alone. She pushes him against the wall)

Rose: You have set us both on the path of death. I only hope Klaus sees the honor in returning that girl to him

Trevor: He will sacrifice her

Rose: Then sobiet!

Trevor: I love her, Rose

Rose: He'll kill you. He won't stop until he has our heads

Trevor: Then we should run until we die

(They hear noise in the room. They rushes to see what's happened and find Katherine hanged in the ceiling. She's dead)

Nowadays

[The tomb]

Elena: You killed yourself?!

Katherine: Klaus needed a human doppelganger. As a vampire, I was no longer any use to him

Elena: But it didn't work. You didn't really escape, you've been running from Klaus ever since

Katherine: I under estimated his peered for vengeance but leaving with a suitcase is better than dying so you can have your blood spilled over some silly little rock

(Elena doesn't seem good)

Katherine: What's wrong? Afraid, right? You don't want to die? There's another way out

(She cuts her wrist with her nail. She bleeds)

Katherine: Better hurry. Your opportunity is going, going, going and gone

(Her wrist is healed)

Katherine: I made the other choice

1492

[England, a cottage]

(Katherine wakes up)

Trevor: What did you do, Katerina? I would have helped you live

Katherine: You would have helped me run. That was never going to be enough

Trevor: It was enough for me

Rose: Do you not see, Trevor? She used you to help her escape and me to turn her. Klaus will see our role in this

Katherine: And for that I'm sorry

Rose: As am i…. for this

(She rushes over Katherine with a stake but Katherine catches the old lady. Rose stakes the old lady on the shoulder. Katherine drinks the old lady's blood)

Katherine: Please understand

Rose: You just signed our death sentence

Katherine: Better you die than i

(She throws the old lady in Trevor's arms and leaves with her new super speed)

Nowadays

[The tomb]

Elena: Rose and Trevor spent the last 500 years running because you used them. Trevor just got killed

Katherine: I never thought he would last for that long

Elena: You don't even care that you ruined their lives

Katherine: I was looking out for myself, Elena. I will always look out for myself. If you're smart, you'll do the same

(She turns herself and opens the Petrova book)

[Mystic Grill]

(Caroline and Stefan are sitting at a table. Caroline is eating)

Caroline: Sorry to drag you here but if I don't eat, I get these killing some people urge. Tyler totally has it too by the way

Stefan: Yeah, what else did you say to him?

Caroline: Not much. I was trying to keep the questions to a minimum. Are you mad?

Stefan: Yes Caroline. As a matter of fact, i am a little mad. I mean, you put yourself a risk. If Damon finds out…

Caroline: But you're not gonna tell him, are you?

Stefan: No, of course not. He would kill you

Caroline: Always looking out for me

Stefan: Yeah. Well, you don't exactly make it very easy on me

Caroline: Then why do you do it? Why are you such a good friend to me?

Stefan: I don't know. I guess you… you remind me of someone. My best friend, Lexi

Caroline: I… you have a friend?

Stefan: You say that with such a discouraging imam of surprise, Caroline

Caroline: No I just… sorry. I just… tell me about her

Stefan: I will, some other time. I got to go

Caroline: Wait! No! What do we do about Tyler? I don't want Damon to kill him ‘cause there's a full moon coming up and Tyler is totally freaking out about it

(Luka is sitting at a table with his father. Bonnie passes next to him)

Luka: Hey Bonnie

Bonnie: Hey, Luka. How was your first day?

Luka: It was great. I would like to introduce you to my dad

Bonnie: Hi, I'm Bonnie Bennett

Jonas: Doctor Martin, Jonas Martin. It's nice to meet you Bonnie Bennett. Would you like to join us?

Bonnie: Oh, I'm meeting a friend but he's not here yet so… sure

Luka: Oh yes, please have a sit

(She sits down)

Bonnie: So, where did you move from?

Jonas: Louisiana

Bonnie: That's a big change

Luka: I'll say

Bonnie: It's not so bad here

Luka: It's looking up

Jonas: Bennett, uh? I knew some Bennett's when I did my residency in Massachusetts. Do you have any family from Salem?

Bonnie: Actually i do

Jonas: What do you know? Small world, right?

(Jeremy arrives)

Bonnie: Oh, there's me friend. It was nice to meet you, Doctor Martin

Luka: I will see you at school

Bonnie: Yeah

(She touches his shoulder and feels something. She leaves with Jeremy and turns her head to look at them)

Jeremy: Sorry I was late, are you okay?

Bonnie: Yeah

[Somewhere, a coffee shop]

Slater: And you're sure Elijah's dead?

Damon: Beyond dead

Slater: Trevor was a good man; he helped me with my dissertation on sexual deviance on the baroque period. I was schooling for my psych PHT

Rose: Slater's been in college since 74

Slater: When i was turned. I have 18 degrees, 3 masters and 4 PHT

Damon: The point?

Slater: Exactly, I mean, what is the point? What should I be doing with my eternity? If you have an answer, please enlight me

Rose: We need your help. If someone wanted to get in touch with Klaus, how would you hook him up?

Slater: Craigslist

Damon: Really?

Slater: Seriously. I respond to a personal add to get set to somebody who knows somebody who knows Elijah, who's dead and that's where my connection ends

(In front of the coffee shop, a man stops in front of a man who plays guitar. He gives him money and takes his coins. He decants the coins into his other hand. It's Elijah. He looks at Slater, Damon and Rose)

[Mystic Grill]

(Bonnie and Jeremy are playing pool)

Jeremy: You are bad

Bonnie: I told you

Jeremy: Well, you can cheat if you need your dignity back

Bonnie: Come on, hit the ball

(Luka rejoins them)

Luka: Alright, I got winner guys. I got winner

Jeremy: Get ready, this slot is almost over

Bonnie: So where's your dad?

Luka: I'll see him back home

(Stefan and Caroline are still talking)

Stefan: Okay, now I'm leaving

Caroline: Wait…!

Stefan: No, no, no, Caroline, you have two seconds to come clean

Caroline: What do you mean?

Stefan: I'd believe your whole innocent act a little bit better if I didn't know how good you are at providing a distraction on demand. Where is Elena?

Caroline: I can't tell you

Stefan: You can't tell me? Are you kidding me?

Caroline: I'm sorry but i… I can't tell you

Stefan: Caroline! Elena was kidnapped, she could have been killed and you're seriously not gonna tell me where she is?

Caroline: She's not in any danger. I would not have let her put herself in danger

Stefan: Put herself in danger where? What do you…? She's with Damon isn't she?

Caroline: Ouh, no

Stefan: Then where… where is she? Listen, if you're my friend like you've been pretending to be all day, then you'll tell me where she is

Caroline: Stefan, I am your friend but I'm also Elena's friend and I'm sorry but I'm not going to tell you where she is

(He looks at her and leaves)

[The tomb]

Elena: So how much of your little story is true?

Katherine: I have no reason to lie, Elena. I have no reason to do anything but sit here and read and rot

Elena: Okay, assuming it's even partially true, that's the reason why you came back isn't it? Because you wanted to be the one to hand me over to Klaus

Katherine: 500 years in the run, I figured maybe he'd be willing to strike a deal

Elena: So you got Mason Lockwood to find you the moonstone

Katherine: Right again

Elena: What else do you needed to break the curse?

Katherine: Hmm, look who is getting smarter

Elena: It's not just me or the stone, is it? Otherwise that you'd be no reason to trigger Tyler Lockwood's werewolf curse

Katherine: Witches and their spells: so many ingredients, so many people to sacrifice

Elena: So you need a werewolf

Katherine: Believe it or not, they're hard to come by

Elena: What else?

Katherine: A witch to do the spell. Mine bailed but Bonnie will do just fine

Elena: What else?

Katherine: A vampire

Elena: Caroline

Katherine: It could have been anyone I suppose but i like the poetry of Caroline

Elena: So you were gonna just hand us all over to be killed?

Katherine: Better you die than i

(She goes deeper in the tomb. Elena is alone)

[Somewhere, a coffee shop]

Damon: Here's what I don't get: Elijah moved around during the day, which means the original people knew the secret of the day ring. Know why would Klaus want to lift the curse of the sun and the moon?

Slater: To keep the werewolves from lifting it. If a vampire breaks the sun curse then the werewolves are stuck with the curse of the moon forever and vice versa

Rose: But werewolves are extinct

Slater: True. I've never seen one but rumor has it

Damon: Not such a rumor

Slater: Mystic Falls? God, I got to visit this place. It sounds awesome

(Elijah is still in front of the coffee shop. He's listening to them)

Damon: Can we stop the curse from being broken at all?

Slater: What do you mean?

Damon: Well, if we make the moonstone useless, would it stop the curse from being broken?

Slater: Yeah, probably but why would you want to do that?

Damon: Tell me how

Slater: You think I'm gonna help you figure out how to do something that will piss of an original? And keeping them from walking in the sun?

Damon: You want to walk in the sun? I can make that happen if you help us

(Elijah is still listening to them. He throws the coins on the window. All the windows broke. Slater and Rose's skin are burning. Rose is screaming. Damon looks outside but Elijah is gone. Slater runs. Rose face is burned. Damon puts a jacket on Rose's face and help her get out of the coffee shop. He carries her to the car and puts her on the back of the car)

Damon: You're gonna be okay

Rose: I know

Damon: Who's behind that?

Rose: I don't know. Where is Slater?

Damon: Iowa by now. Who the hell knows?

Rose: He's not behind this, he's a good guy, he wouldn't betrayed me

Damon: Who did it?

Rose: It's Klaus, don't you understand? You don't know this man, we're dead, we're all dead

(She cries. Her face is healed)

[Mystic Grill]

(Bonnie is alone, she looks at Jeremy. He looks at her and they both smile. Luka rejoins her)

Luka: Hey Bonnie. I'm sorry about earlier, my dad is not very subtle with the whole Bennett/Salem question. He picked up on you, he was just fishing around, he didn't mean any harm

Bonnie: I felt something too

Luka: I know. That's why we're having this conversation right now. He uh… doesn't like for anyone to know

(He puts a lot of salt on the table)

Luka: But we were both worry that you would bail us

(He looks around him and puts his hand above the salt. That salt flies)

Luka: He just wants us to fit in here for once. It's tough Bonnie, being different

Bonnie: You're a witch?

Luka: We prefer the term warlock

[The tomb]

(Elena is still alone, she looks at the tomb. Stefan arrives)

Stefan: Elena

Elena: Stefan, what are you doing here?

Stefan: I could ask you the same question

Elena: Caroline told you

Stefan: No, she kept your secret but it didn't take long for me to figure out what was the important that you'd have to keep it from me

Elena: I knew that you'd stop me

Stefan: Listen to me, whatever she said to you is a lie. Do not listen to her. She's a liar, Elena

Elena: What if she isn't? You didn't hear what she said

Stefan: You don't have to worry, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you

Elena: That's the problem, you won't but you'll die trying. How's that any better?

(Katherine arrives)

Katherine: There's nothing you can do, Stefan. I haven't even told you the best part of the story

1492

[Bulgaria]

(Katherine arrives at her parent's home. she finds dead people outside. She runs and enters the home. She finds her father dead and sees her mother. She's dead. She rushes over her. She cries on her mother's body)

Katherine: No, no, no mama. No!

Nowadays

[The tomb]

Katherine: He killed them, my entire family just to get back at me for running. Whatever you do to escape Klaus, he will get his vengeance on your friends, your family and anyone that you've ever loved

(Stefan looks at Elena)

Stefan: No, look at me. No, do not listen to her, okay?

Katherine: Always the protector but you must realize that she's doomed. There's nothing you can do to stop it unless of course you have this

(She shows him the moonstone)

Elena: What?

Stefan: Oh no, there it is. It's the ultimate lie, isn't it? You spun this whole thing so that we would have to get the stone from you, didn't you?

Katherine: I didn't spin anything, Stefan. It's the truth

Stefan: No, let me guess. You want to trade that stone for your freedom, you manipulative, psychotic bitch

Katherine: My freedom? That's where you're wrong, Stefan. I don't want my freedom because when Klaus shows up to kill us all and he will, I'll be in the tomb, where no vampire will enter because they can't get out. I'll be the safest psychotic bitch in town

(She looks at Elena and goes deeper in the tomb)

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon is drinking in the living room. Rose rejoins her)

Rose: I'm sorry about today. I didn't know that was gonna happen

Damon: I believe you

Rose: I wish we could save Elena. I know that you want to

Damon: And I will

Rose: You remind me of Trevor

Damon: Why? Why him?

Rose: Because he always talked big game, always working on angle but underneath all this, he was the best friend anyone could hope for

Damon: And where did that get him?

Rose: Dead and my loyalty to him almost got me dead too

(He gives her a glass of scotch)

Damon: To friendship

Rose: You're right to fight it, how do you feel about her

Damon: And why's that?

Rose: Because if you want to survive, you need to not care about anyone

Damon: Caring get you dead, uh?

Rose: He might just be time to turn the switch off on your emotions

Damon: I will if you will

(They look at each other and then kiss)

[Mystic Grill]

(Jeremy is playing pool. He turns himself to look at Bonnie but she's not looking at him, she's talking with Luka. He looks at them, smiles and leaves)

[Gilbert's house]

(Elena and Stefan are in the porch)

Stefan: Elena

Elena: I can't talk about it, Stefan

Stefan: You have to. Don't shut me out. Elena, please

(She's crying)

Elena: I wanted to know the truth, Stefan and I got it. It's not just me that's in danger. It's Caroline and it's Tyler and its Bonnie. They're all part of breaking the curse. I can't blame anyone else anymore because it's not because you came into town or because you and i fell in love. That's not why everyone that I love is in danger. It's because of me, everything is because of me

(He embraces her. She's crying. He kisses her on the top of her head)

[The tomb]

(Katherine is reading her family book. She finds a portrait of her with her parents. She has tears in her eyes)

[Salvatore's house]

(Damon and Rose have made love. Damon is shirtless)

Rose: It's a lie, you know. There's no switch you can turn. Sure when you're a newbie but after a couple of hundred years… you just have to pretend

(Rose's phone ring. She answers. It's Slater)

Rose: Hello?

Slater: Rose?

Rose: Slater? Are you okay?

Slater: Yes, I took off, I'm sorry, I was freaking freaked

Rose: No, I'm sorry to involved you

Slater: Look, i want no part in any of this but i did some digging

Rose: Okay, what did you find?

Slater: You can destroy the curse but you need the moonstone

Rose: How? What do you mean? I don't follow

Slater: Can your friend get the moonstone? You need it

(She looks at Damon. He tells her yes)

Rose: Yes, he can get it. What next?

Slater: You need a witch. Get the moonstone, a witch should be able to figure out the rest. Good luck, Rose

(He hangs up. Damon and Rose look at each other)

[A house]

(Slater just hanged up)

Elijah: Very nicely done

Slater: Thanks, I have a degree in theatre. How can you compel me? A vampire can't compel another vampire

Elijah: I'm a special vampire

Slater: What, because you're an original?

Elijah: Hmm, now I want you this and drive it through your heart

(He gives him a stake. Slater takes it)

Slater: But that will kill me forever

Elijah: I know

(He's compelling him)

Elijah: But it's necessary

(Slater drives the stake through his heart. He falls on the floor, he's dead. Jonas rejoins Elijah)

Jonas: Was it, really?

Elijah: It had to be done. He delivered his message. Won't be long now

(They look at each other)
