- Previously on The Originals... - We were in love for two centuries.
- What the hell happened? - I asked you to leave with me!
But you didn't love me as much as you love New Orleans.
I saw things, Rebekah,
in his mind. Not just memories.
I saw his natural instincts, and...
I think maybe that's who he really is.
The Hollow is stronger than we are.
It's got more followers,
and it's gonna destroy New Orleans.
The Hollow has shed her flesh
to take on that of another.
We'll kill that body as well.
Oh, you won't dare.
Even now, she's locking herself
within the greatest witch
this world may ever know.
Hope's gone. She's the Hollow now.
I have to find her.
Vincent, surely you can pull the Hollow out.
- I think I know a way to save her. - Anything.
If we go this route, this is gonna be the end of your family.
This is gonna be the end of always and forever.
The Hollow has been haunting New Orleans
for centuries.
It's an unending evil.
Its appetite for power is insatiable.
And that's what attracted it to your little girl.
You said there was a way to save her.
There is.
But I'm gonna tell you right now,
you are not gonna like my plan.
Step one:
we pull the Hollow out of Hope.
Step two: we find someplace else to put it.
But with the book gone, I need a place
that's both powerful and eternal.
And in order to make the transition work, I'm gonna need
something that's connected to Hope through blood.
You need a vampire.
You want to put the Hollow into one of my siblings.
Uh, one ain't gonna cut it.
I'm gonna need four of them.
Why four of us?
Well, 1,500 years ago, when the Hollow was first killed,
they divided her remains.
Four bones, four volunteers,
four different locations.
That's how we're going to beat the Hollow now.
Transfer the Hollow's power into four immortal vampires.
And just send us on our way.
So the evil is drawn,
quartered and separated for all time.
And you have to go your separate ways,
and you have to stay separate.
For all time.
You can never see each other again.
Can never go near each other again.
That is the only way that we're gonna beat the Hollow.
Well, if it'll save my little girl, then we will make it so.
All of you, know that this
is the power of the Hollow.
The power to transcend death,
and destroy all who stand against us.
Vincent needs our blood.
Right. All four of us, and Kol isn't answering
his bloody phone.
He's finally got a chance at happiness,
and we're asking him to come home and play host
to a quarter of a demon.
There has to be another way.
What if there isn't another way?
I can't believe this is happening.
I'm usually the first one who wants to
run off on my own, and-and now
I don't have a say in the matter.
- I'm feeling quite perturbed. - Hope.
Hope is all that matters.
This is not happening.
I will not let this family be split apart.
I'm going to the bell tower and I'm going to go through
more of mother's grimoires.
Freya.
Elijah, you know how it feels to be apart.
At first, the freedom is exhilarating,
and then, one day, inevitably,
you wake up with that pit in your stomach,
that dull, aching feeling
of missing the only people who know you.
Until that very ache threatens to consume you entirely.
For a thousand years, we have been honoring a vow
to stand together.
Being forced to separate feels like torture.
I just texted all of you her photo.
Now, Marcel literally said "scour the city."
That means everyone is searching everywhere.
Witches, check the Cauldron.
Vampires, search the Quarter.
Hello, Joshua.
No way.
Good-bye, Joshua.
Degenerate vampire filth.
Now, why would noble witches stoop
to associate with these...
parasites?
Now, if you wish to embrace true power,
and rid your city of vermin,
declare your allegiance to the Hollow.
Still no word from Kol.
And if he doesn't bother to show,
that just leaves Haley.
She is Hope's only other immortal relative.
That means you would have to part ways with her as well.
Kol will come.
And Niklaus will be with his child.
The three of them must remain together.
Oh, and you would just walk away from the woman that you love?
And what about Nik?
On his own, no family.
You know very well that without you around, he will go mad.
Witches of New Orleans.
I ask you to join your one and true savior.
Pledge your loyalty, and she will free you from oppression.
Watch that girl. She kills witches.
Hey!
Hope!
Baby, I know you can hear me.
I need you to fight her.
You think you can stop me?
I'm not gonna let you take her.
Ah.
You're okay.
You're all right.
Some witches, um, they found you
on the street, they called me and I brought you here.
- You're fine. - I have to go back. I have to get that thing out of Hope.
That's what I'm trying to do, Hayley.
I'm shoring up my power for the ritual.
What ritual?
The ritual that we need to talk about.
We should go before whoever did this decides to come back.
Easy.
Hey. You got hit pretty hard.
Tell me what happened.
Well, it's, uh...
pretty straightforward, really.
Creepy resurrected witch made me his personal piñata.
What creepy resurrected witch?
Oh, that would be your old buddy, Dominic.
Wait, how the hell
- is he alive? - Does anything
surprise you at this point? I mean, look around.
We're standing in the middle of a war zone.
The Hollow almost destroyed me. Now it's raising the dead?
I say we either
get out of here while we can,
or we offer the Hollow a deal.
Uh, sorry to interrupt here.
Wouldn't it be smart to, like, align ourselves
with the crazy powerful, unbeatable family
who also wants to kill this thing?
So, all four of them have to go their separate ways?
Forever.
Yeah, and I didn't tell them this.
When you leave here,
you need to go home, you need to pack some bags,
you need to find a way out of town, quick and quiet,
just for you and Hope.
What are you talking about?
Hayley, the Hollow has felt your little girl's power.
And it's gonna want to get that power back.
And when we finish this ritual, the Hollow
is gonna live inside of the Mikaelsons.
Through them, it's gonna reach out,
and it's gonna try to regain access to your little girl.
That can never happen and any time they are
anywhere near her, she is not gonna be safe.
Ever.
Now, you and I both know that Klaus Mikaelson,
he's not gonna be okay with that.
So when we finish this ritual,
when we get your little girl back, you have got to go.
Hayley, you take her, and you run like hell.
This is Keelin, leave a message.
Keelin, hey.
It's me, uh...
I'm just kind of losing my mind at the moment.
Um...
my family's about to be pulled apart
and there's literally nothing I can do about it.
I'm supposed to be the big sister
that could fix everything, and I just...
I really need you.
No word for Kol and Hayley.
- Try again. - What is the bloody point...
Niklaus, try again!
Where have you been?
Doesn't matter.
Vincent told me everything.
Is this really happening?
Assuming our other immortal brother answers the damn phone.
We still need to go get Hope.
Vincent said the Hollow is gathering a congregation
at the church.
- Then let's go get her. - She's possessed, Klaus,
surrounded by followers.
We can't just go running in there.
Hayley, we have a plan.
It's actually a rather good one.
This collection is priceless.
You sure you want to hand it all over to the Mikaelsons?
Dark objects belong to the city.
As long as they help us take down the Hollow,
that's all that matters.
Even if it means trusting the family who made a weapon
specifically designed to kill you?
Desperate times. We need allies.
Hayley,
I can't undo the things I've...
- Elijah... - No.
I can't stop
being...
this.
I also can't stop loving you.
So you tell me what you need me to do.
Yes, I'm ashamed and I'm appalled...
I don't need you to apologize, Elijah.
Not right now.
Right now, I need you to get my daughter back.
Of course.
Quite the party.
Marcel Gerard,
king of New Orleans.
Accompanied by his top advisor.
Well, I trust you've come to grovel
and bow before the power of the Hollow.
Actually, we came to make a truce.
The way I see it, we both have the same enemy:
the Mikaelsons.
Now, you help me get them out of this city,
and maybe there's a world in which
we all live happily ever after.
Diplomacy. A wise choice.
I want the king to kneel before me.
Behold,
covens of New Orleans,
even the great Marcel Gerard
is nothing in the face of the Hollow.
Hear ye, hear ye,
all disciples and acolytes
of the evil Hollow.
Now that your master has been subdued,
the power she promised you has been revoked,
rendering you helpless,
and bringing this pitiful coup to a rather abrupt end.
This dark object has the astounding ability
to seal you in the room.
Which is very inconvenient indeed.
Particularly when one considers
the architectural composition of the structure.
And so, with very little effort...
...this place becomes an inferno.
I know you're in there.
And I know you can hear me,
so I want you to listen very carefully.
You are my daughter.
You're a Mikaelson.
And you are strong,
and brave,
unlike anyone I've ever known.
In fact, you helped me believe in something
your uncle once said.
"Family is power."
You're a good dad, Klaus.
And you deserve the truth.
There is something that you need to know about the ritual.
Vincent didn't want to tell you because he didn't think
that you'd go through with it, but I know that you will.
I know that you'll do anything for her.
Even if it means never seeing her again.
Did you honestly think you could trick us
into performing the ritual
without telling the entire truth?
You and your family aren't my problem.
The only thing
that I'm concerned about right now
is that little girl and the monster that's inside of her.
Is it hard to see me from up there on your high horse?
She is my niece.
Of course we will do whatever we have to do to protect her,
but you can damn well be honest about it!
See, your reaction,
right there has just proven my point.
You Mikaelsons are selfish, egocentric fanatics.
It is not my job, nor is it
my inclination to try to convince you
to do the right thing.
If you really want to save your niece, then you need to
get out of my ear and let me do what it is that I do.
- You know what? You... - He's right.
I may not agree with his tactics...
but he's our only chance at saving Hope.
Lucky you, I guess I'll just have to
postpone the disembowelment.
- Rebekah? - What?
Have you heard from Kol?
Not a word.
I'll try reaching him with magic.
Okay, look, we need
four volunteers that are connected to Hope through blood.
We have Rebekah, we have Klaus and Elijah. that makes three.
- If you can't get to Kol, then we're gonna have to use Hayley. - No.
No, that is not happening.
Not when there's another way.
Thank you for coming.
Was something wrong? Vincent said that...
Vincent said a lot of things.
And he failed to say a few things more,
one of which has me rather vexed.
Oh, okay, I see. So you need another favor.
No. No more favors.
Unless, of course, you count the burden of hearing my confession.
I was never a good father to you.
No surprises, I never had much in the way of an example.
I never saw myself in the man who raised me.
In fact, the first time I saw myself in another
was the day I met you.
Throwing apples at the oppressor who whipped you raw.
I should've known you'd grow up to be a better man than I.
You do realize we're about, um,
100 years too late for this talk.
Well, I'm hardly perfect.
Unless we forget the five years I spent in your dungeon,
- neither are you. - Yeah, well, you see,
I'm not really too moved by your opinion.
If I was, I'd have to face the fact that
I'm not good enough for your family,
that I'm not good enough for Rebekah, that I'm not...
You are family.
And as for my sister,
her love for you was a threat.
How could either of you love each other
and still have room for me?
In any case,
I just wanted to see you one last time
before we part ways for good,
if only to set the record straight.
I failed you...
Marcellus.
To my eternal shame.
Hey.
I got your messages.
Are you okay?
We need to talk.
And... you're not going to like it.
Okay.
I just...
Say the first thing that comes to mind and...
then the next and we'll keep going from there.
I grew up without a mother,
without anybody who loved me.
And I can't just sit back and watch Hope be taken from Hayley.
If Kol doesn't show up,
I have to make things right.
They need four vampires...
...each related by blood to Hope.
I can be the fourth...
if I turn.
But you would lose everything:
your home, your family,
your ability to practice magic.
And will I lose you?
If I become the kind of monster
that killed your family?
I am not going anywhere.
Julie and Juliet all the way.
We should talk before it's too late.
You don't have to say anything.
I want you to know that what happened in the pendant
doesn't take away everything that we've had between us.
I know it's over.
And what are we, anyway?
What is the Mikaelson family?
Desperately searching for some kind of humanity
beneath the ridiculous banner of always and forever.
Whatever we are,
you and me...
...we were doomed.
I could never be what you needed me to be.
Best thing I could do for you is disappear.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Ugh. Is that disgusting?
You're chugging a glass of blood?
That looks disgusting.
Are you ready for what's next?
Mm-hmm.
Potassium chloride.
It'll stop your heart,
quick and painless.
Okay, this is crazy.
I mean, what if you don't wake up?
I will. Okay? I promise.
I'm ready for this.
Okay? It's gonna be okay.
I come from a long line of vampires.
And, besides, magic's kind of overrated.
Easy for you to say.
You haven't had to live without it.
I didn't think you were coming.
Almost didn't, but given
the number of messages and magic notes
appearing in my pocket,
I figured there might be an emergency.
Look who decided to show up.
Little brother.
You always did love a dramatic entrance.
Well, I prefer them more than my departures,
which often involved you and the pointy end of a dagger.
Now that we're all here...
...shall we?
Elijah.
You were always the keeper of our bond,
and because of that, you will feel this pain the most.
When the inevitable happens,
and I, devoid of family influence,
relapse into a spiral of mayhem and bloodshed...
I need you to leave me to my fate.
If you come to my rescue
as you have done so many times before,
it will only serve to aid our enemy,
allowing it one step closer to my daughter,
and I cannot allow that.
So,
my brother...
when the time comes, I beg you,
let me go.
You have my word.
Uh, Kol, if you would, right there.
Uh, Rebekah, perfect. Right there.
What the hell are you doing here?
You come to gloat?
No, I came to make sure that this works.
Elijah,
I need you right there at the top.
Klaus, right there for me, please.
And we are ready.
I just want to say that what you guys are doing here today
is gonna go a long way towards setting things right
in this city.
The Hollow took everything away from me.
It inspired nothing but suffering and torment.
It's ruined families, it's gone after little kids.
And yet, here and now, despite all of our differences,
and there are many...
...thank you.
Freya.
The savage Mikaelsons heroically defeating a terrible evil.
Maybe this will finally earn us our redemption.
Do any of us really believe that?
Not for a second.
It's a wonderful sentiment.
Let's go.
Hayley,
when I tell you to, I want you to take the manacles off.
Hold onto Hope. Do not let her go.
Everybody else, when this spell is over,
you got to get away from each other,
and you have to stay away from Hope.
Always and forever.
We had a good run.
Yeah.
Diviser...
Diviser ak konkeri.
Diviser...
ak konkeri.
Diviser ak konkeri.
Chire apa ak pó.
Ak konkeri.
Ak pó. Hayley, do it now.
Do it now, Hayley.
I can hear it...
whispering.
Okay, you guys need to go.
Now!
I need to know if she's all right.
Klaus, I promise you, she is going to be okay if you go.
It's okay, baby. You're okay.
Mom.
Daddy?
What's happening?
Hope.
I love you.
Dad?
Dad!
It's a funny thing, meeting here...
where it all began.
Doesn't it all feel like yesterday?
That funeral procession which took place
just beyond those trees, as I recall,
that sweltering heat.
Amazing that Klaus
was able to see anything at all, and yet,
he saw that tortured little boy.
You're getting nostalgic in your old age.
But I guess it's to be expected,
given the circumstances.
Why'd you ask me here, Elijah?
I'm a danger to my family.
What?
You see, Marcel, my disease has always been
blind devotion to my brother.
A thousand years.
And whenever he has needed me I have been there.
And no matter what I do,
I'm at the complete mercy of that devotion.
I can't do that anymore.
What are you asking me to do? I don't understand.
You have to end this for me.
What do you want me to do? You want me to put you down?
I want you to set me free.
Rebekah,
you all right?
You mean besides harboring an ancient malignant spirit
that continues to rattle around inside my skull?
That will subside... when you leave the city,
once you're on you own.
Then I better not dally.
You know, I spent eight glorious months
covered in spit-up, changing dirty diapers
and reading bedtime stories to that sweet girl.
Please give this to her.
And tell her that her Auntie Bex loves her.
Sister, I will fix this.
The Hollow was born on this land,
and if I stay and study its power...
You are such a Mikaelson.
Stubborn until the end.
I'm gonna give you some advice
that took me way too long to learn.
Family is sacred,
but so is love.
What you have with Keelin,
don't lose that.
How do you know that this will work?
All of Vincent's power.
He can open my mind,
allow you to compel me.
To release me from always and forever.
The Hollow's too powerful.
It's gonna tempt him to try to get back with his siblings.
If we don't do this, the Hollow's gonna come back.
What if we're just creating a monster here?
I am a monster.
You, of all people, know that.
Okay.
Okay, but how do I compel an Original?
Marcel, you haven't even begun to tap into all that power
that our ancestors put inside of you.
Now, if we combine that with my spells,
we can wipe out centuries of family drama.
Are you sure you really want that?
Yes.
All right.
Louvri...
Louvri animo.
Pémét pou accessum.
Okay, do it now.
Your vow.
The promise of always and forever.
Forget it.
All the pain that went with it...
Do it!
All the love...
...forget it.
The family you cherish...
...the vow that you have honored...
...forget it.
Let it go.
Father!
Let it go.
Always and forever.
Elijah?
Your Aunt Rebekah...
asked me to give you this.
She loves you so much.
Family heirlooms are...
very important.
They remind us where we come from,
and that no matter where we go,
our family is with us.
I love you.
I love you, too, Aunt Freya.
You ready?
Yeah, yeah.
