2
00:00:02,336 --> 00:00:04,759
If this prophecy is fulfilled,
3
00:00:04,963 --> 00:00:07,011
you will all fall:
one by friend,
4
00:00:07,216 --> 00:00:09,969
one by foe and one by family.
5
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:11,975
And as you rot
in the ocean,
6
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:14,352
remember my face, Tristan,
7
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:17,059
'cause it's gonna be the last
one that you ever see.
8
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:18,359
Tristan de Martel
9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,107
guided this organization
for centuries.
10
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:22,656
I will not allow that defeat
to hamper our cause.
11
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,779
Those dark objects
are my family's legacy.
12
00:00:24,983 --> 00:00:26,200
Give them back
13
00:00:26,401 --> 00:00:27,823
or I will take them back
14
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,701
and I swear you will
regret this moment.
15
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:31,873
The only thing I regret
is failing to realize
16
00:00:32,074 --> 00:00:33,701
how far you've spun
out of control!
17
00:00:33,909 --> 00:00:35,661
Somewhere out there
is an elusive weapon
18
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:37,371
capable of killing an original.
19
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:39,832
I'm calling to suggest
we pool our efforts to find it.
20
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,713
Ariane.
Come forward, please.
21
00:00:41,917 --> 00:00:43,089
And what do you want from me?
22
00:00:43,293 --> 00:00:44,886
Water will actas a conductor,
23
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,298
allowing me to enter your mind.
24
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:49,053
Did you see it? The weapon?
25
00:00:49,258 --> 00:00:51,260
An unending darkness
lies before you.
26
00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:52,310
A pale horse.
27
00:00:52,511 --> 00:00:54,809
I am released.
28
00:00:55,013 --> 00:00:56,515
There is only one other person
29
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:58,691
capable of deciphering
the witch's riddle;
30
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,439
the very person
with whom I shared
31
00:01:00,644 --> 00:01:02,396
my memories of that night,
my trusted therapist.
32
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:04,231
The horse was made
of the white oak.
33
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:06,988
That weapon is here.
36
00:01:12,656 --> 00:01:13,782
How's it going in here?
37
00:01:13,991 --> 00:01:17,165
We're cloaked.
For now.
38
00:01:17,369 --> 00:01:18,837
But I can sense somebody's
searching for you,
39
00:01:19,037 --> 00:01:20,584
and my guess is it's
Freya Mikaelson.
40
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:22,883
I guess that's what happens
when you steal the one thing
41
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:24,676
that can kill
her entire family.
42
00:01:24,876 --> 00:01:26,924
I wouldn't have taken it
if Klaus hadn't confiscated
43
00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:29,302
my dark objects, so technically
this is his fault.
44
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:31,474
You try explaining that to him.
45
00:01:31,675 --> 00:01:33,348
I have it all worked
out-- you put up
46
00:01:33,552 --> 00:01:35,429
a boundary spell
Klaus can't enter.
47
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:37,765
If he wants what's his,
he'll give me back what's mine.
48
00:01:37,973 --> 00:01:40,271
Those dark objects were made
by New Orleans witches.
49
00:01:40,475 --> 00:01:42,352
I want'em back
just as much as you do.
50
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:44,279
Good. Then I chose
the right partner.
51
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:47,107
Cami, you got to see
the mess you're in.
52
00:01:47,316 --> 00:01:49,114
You Jacked the one weapon
53
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:52,538
that can kill the most powerful
vampires in the world.
54
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:54,786
You got a target on your back.
55
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:55,786
Klaus wouldn't hurt me.
56
00:01:55,991 --> 00:01:56,833
Klaus ain't the only one
that's gonna
57
00:01:57,034 --> 00:01:57,876
come looking for the white oak.
58
00:01:58,076 --> 00:01:58,952
Then let's get this over with.
59
00:01:59,161 --> 00:02:00,913
Vincent!
60
00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:03,214
I'm sick of playing
61
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:05,167
at a disadvantage.
62
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:06,547
It's what got me killed.
63
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,598
I'm going to take your silence
as a resounding agreement
64
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,266
with my very reasonable plan.
65
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:14,559
Now all I have to do
is invite Klaus.
66
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,886
Cami,
67
00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:18,472
are you sure
you want to do this?
69
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:33,036
What happened to her?
70
00:02:33,236 --> 00:02:34,237
This is what
befalls anyone
71
00:02:34,446 --> 00:02:36,198
who bargains
with Elijah Mikaelson.
72
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:38,704
Ariane discovered the weapon
that could kill an original.
73
00:02:38,909 --> 00:02:40,877
And since Elijah
would never allow anyone
74
00:02:41,078 --> 00:02:42,580
to posses so deadly a secret...
75
00:02:44,748 --> 00:02:46,125
He killed her.
76
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:50,046
She was nice to me.
77
00:02:50,253 --> 00:02:51,675
Then perhaps
you won't mind spending
78
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:53,590
a little more time together.
79
00:03:04,142 --> 00:03:07,191
You and the others
will channel her,
80
00:03:07,396 --> 00:03:09,945
search her mind
and find the weapon.
81
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:13,618
It's a little disrespectful
to the dead, don't you think?
82
00:03:13,819 --> 00:03:17,039
Not to mention dangerous.
If Elijah finds out...
83
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:20,459
I know better than you
how dangerous Elijah can be.
84
00:03:20,659 --> 00:03:23,128
And yet, as he is my sire,
my life
85
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:25,956
and the lives of the Strix
are tied to his.
86
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:29,293
So...
87
00:03:31,503 --> 00:03:33,426
I will not rest
88
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,928
until that weapon is found.
89
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,181
So that's how it is.
90
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:45,021
You recruit a witch from my city
91
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:46,647
and you don't even tell me.
92
00:03:46,852 --> 00:03:48,604
I'm not in the habit
of explaining my decisions
93
00:03:48,812 --> 00:03:50,780
to subordinates.
94
00:03:50,981 --> 00:03:51,857
She's just a kid.
95
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,442
Davina Claire
96
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:55,027
is a former regent.
97
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,954
A shame she aligned with us
only after her shunning.
98
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:01,329
But then, some things
are beyond even my control.
99
00:04:01,533 --> 00:04:03,251
Hey...
100
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:05,329
I'm not gonna let her
be your puppet.
101
00:04:07,664 --> 00:04:10,338
You are in no position
to make demands.
102
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:12,636
If the prophecy is true,
the Mikaelsons will fall
103
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:14,383
within the year
and us along with them.
104
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:18,013
I have a plan
that will keep us alive.
105
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:19,593
Perhaps you should
focus on proving yourself
106
00:04:19,801 --> 00:04:21,018
essential to my plan.
107
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:34,032
Ah. Vincent.
108
00:04:34,232 --> 00:04:37,111
I should have known Camille
would seek powerful fools
109
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,117
to aid in this rather
futile gambit.
110
00:04:39,321 --> 00:04:41,415
As I send you off to
join your ancestors,
111
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:43,208
just know this is her fault.
112
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:50,290
I was hoping for a simple trade,
113
00:04:50,499 --> 00:04:51,546
but seeing as how
everything you took
114
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:53,127
can't possibly fit
in that briefcase,
115
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:54,507
I'm gonna go ahead
and assume that "simple"
116
00:04:54,711 --> 00:04:56,133
ain't exactly your style, huh?
117
00:04:56,338 --> 00:04:58,056
Why don't you take down
this barrier?
118
00:04:58,256 --> 00:05:02,011
I'll show you precisely
what my style entails.
119
00:05:02,219 --> 00:05:03,892
Seriously?
120
00:05:04,095 --> 00:05:06,097
I have an ancient, mystical
121
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:08,229
weapon of doom,
and instead of agreeing
122
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:10,731
to my very fair trade,
you're making threats.
123
00:05:10,936 --> 00:05:12,188
There she is.
124
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:13,817
Traitor to my family,
125
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:15,194
thief of that which is mine.
126
00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:16,570
Don't be dramatic.
127
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:18,402
Like I said,
I just wanted your attention.
128
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:20,362
And seeing as you're here,
I'd say I got it.
129
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:22,789
Yes, a rather effective tactic.
130
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:24,536
One I usually
reserve for enemies,
131
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:26,539
and here I thought
we were intimates.
132
00:05:26,743 --> 00:05:29,417
We are.
133
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:33,125
But relationships are built
on trust and equality,
134
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,961
and we don't have either
if you're confiscating my stuff.
135
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:37,921
And so your response
is to steal what's mine
136
00:05:38,129 --> 00:05:40,177
in an attempt
to bend my will to your own.
137
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,217
I just want back what you took.
138
00:05:48,473 --> 00:05:50,441
What, that's, like,
a third of them?
139
00:05:50,642 --> 00:05:52,360
So would you like a third
140
00:05:52,561 --> 00:05:53,653
of the white oak?
141
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:54,980
Are you really gonna do this?
142
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:57,316
Okay, listen, I'm gonna leave
you two lovebirds alone, but,
143
00:05:57,524 --> 00:05:58,821
uh, y'all want my advice,
144
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:00,151
y'all best
to finish this up
145
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,203
before someone
finds out what she took.
146
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,711
Okay, so what's the plan?
147
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:19,671
Caml's out there with the
white oak and I'm not gonna lose
148
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,757
one more person
that I care about.
149
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:23,057
Niklaus can handle Camille.
Till then,
150
00:06:23,258 --> 00:06:24,760
I'll keep Aya
distracted.
151
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:26,220
Why don't you just kill her?
152
00:06:28,471 --> 00:06:30,314
She and I have history.
153
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:33,852
You two had a thing?
154
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:41,325
Aya was a towering intellect
155
00:06:41,526 --> 00:06:44,154
with an insatiable curiosity.
156
00:06:44,362 --> 00:06:46,285
Passionate,
fearless
157
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:49,493
and something of an outcast.
158
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,594
Long ago, I invited her to...
159
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:01,842
Join a rather elite company.
160
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:04,141
I determined
she was perfectly tailored
161
00:07:04,341 --> 00:07:07,641
to bear the responsibility
of an immortal life.
162
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:09,767
I made her like me.
163
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:12,144
She was one of the first Strix.
164
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:15,685
We cared for one another deeply.
165
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,242
Together
we created
166
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,989
a fellowship unburdened
167
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:25,662
by the limitations of man.
168
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:27,159
It was the pursuit
169
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:30,288
of a glorious new world.
170
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:35,789
And then father...
171
00:07:37,832 --> 00:07:39,834
Led by that
unquenchable desire
172
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:42,717
to slay his children,
mikael descended,
173
00:07:42,921 --> 00:07:44,639
accompanied by a small army.
He laid to waste
174
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:45,965
everything that I built.
175
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:49,269
So... We had no
choice but to run.
176
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:52,688
Come with me.
177
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:56,226
Aya did not.
178
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:01,823
So when Tristan found
her, he rescued her.
179
00:08:02,023 --> 00:08:05,197
She, of course, came to see him
as something of a savior.
180
00:08:05,402 --> 00:08:07,200
And in time, beneath
his corrupted guidance,
181
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:08,872
they made the Strix
what they are today--
182
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:12,076
A hive of depraved
and ignorant savages.
183
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:17,456
And she's never forgiven me.
184
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,717
I'm not entirely certain
I've ever forgiven myself.
185
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:33,480
Well...
186
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:37,651
Given all that,
187
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:41,606
how exactly do you plan
on keeping her distracted?
188
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:43,406
With a little salt...
189
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,610
In an old wound.
191
00:09:04,252 --> 00:09:05,879
We're getting nowhere.
192
00:09:06,087 --> 00:09:07,589
Take some time,
gather your focus.
193
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:09,549
We'll reconvene in an
hour. And we won't stop
194
00:09:09,758 --> 00:09:11,931
until we get what we need.
195
00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:30,783
I know you're not
a New Orleans witch.
196
00:09:30,987 --> 00:09:32,534
But you did die here.
197
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:35,037
When I was a little girl
I remember being told
198
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:36,663
that a witch
who wasn't consecrated
199
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,495
would never know peace.
200
00:09:38,703 --> 00:09:41,331
The ancestors may hate me,
201
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:44,918
but at the end of the day,
witches take care of their own.
202
00:09:51,883 --> 00:09:52,930
...trinket I made
203
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:55,603
when we were children.
A toy.
204
00:09:55,804 --> 00:09:58,227
You found it, which means
205
00:09:58,431 --> 00:09:59,933
you've come to kill me.
206
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:07,566
I think you need to calm down,
207
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:10,493
count to ten,
focus on your breathing.
208
00:10:10,693 --> 00:10:13,071
Is this amusing to you?
209
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:14,826
Endangering my family?
210
00:10:15,031 --> 00:10:17,125
Am I laughing? I want
to put this all behind us.
211
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:20,162
You of all people know what I am
capable of, and yet you seem
212
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:22,464
determined to incur my wrath.
213
00:10:22,664 --> 00:10:24,257
I'm gonna ask you
one last time...
214
00:10:24,457 --> 00:10:26,050
"Give me the white oak."
215
00:10:26,251 --> 00:10:28,299
Am I right?
216
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:30,301
My answer is, happily,
as soon as you stop
217
00:10:30,505 --> 00:10:32,178
screwing around
and give me back what's mine.
218
00:10:32,382 --> 00:10:34,134
If I give your trinkets back,
219
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:36,640
I embolden all manner
of foolishness.
220
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:38,097
You will
grow arrogant
221
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:39,556
under the false belief
you have power
222
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:41,732
and ultimately
you will end up dead.
224
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:45,653
Klaus, you're afraid something
225
00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:47,151
will happen to me?
226
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:50,362
Guess what,
something already did.
227
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:53,662
Your ex hates me so much,
she murdered me.
228
00:10:53,862 --> 00:10:55,660
She's gonna
have to pay for that.
229
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:57,866
And since I can't
fight her fair and square,
230
00:10:58,074 --> 00:10:59,417
I need those dark objects.
231
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:04,422
Fine.
232
00:11:08,084 --> 00:11:10,303
I'll retrieve your toys.
233
00:11:11,963 --> 00:11:15,217
Keep this bloody barrier up
till I return.
234
00:11:39,574 --> 00:11:42,043
My witches have made
a discovery.
235
00:11:42,243 --> 00:11:45,588
Whatever it was, Elijah clearly
wants it to remain hidden.
236
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:47,506
We can only assume
a weapon is in play
237
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:49,175
and that all our
lives are at risk.
238
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:51,252
We will not rest
239
00:11:51,461 --> 00:11:53,884
until that weapon is
under our control.
240
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:57,092
Hello, everyone.
241
00:11:59,677 --> 00:12:02,226
Wonderful to see you all.
242
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:05,938
Aya, don't we look
so very comfortable indeed
243
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:07,735
leading Tristan's
little circus.
244
00:12:07,936 --> 00:12:09,438
Sadly, one does not
245
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:11,444
simply ascend
to the position of leader.
246
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:13,150
Kind of has to be
by my consent.
247
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:14,575
You see, I am
248
00:12:14,776 --> 00:12:16,244
the maker, the creator,
249
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,538
the founding father.
250
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:20,911
I am the one
who chooses the leader here,
251
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:23,789
and fortunately
for every last one of you,
252
00:12:23,993 --> 00:12:27,463
I have an excellent candidate
in mind.
253
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:29,666
See, today is the day
254
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:33,344
I take back what is mine.
255
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:35,797
Do I hear any objections?
256
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,304
So ladies and gentlemen,
257
00:12:39,509 --> 00:12:41,978
the offer I extend
to you is simple enough.
258
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:45,603
You follow me, I shall
return you all to greatness.
259
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,985
You're really just gonna come in
here and start making demands?
260
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:52,109
Ah, shh, shh, shh.
Marcel, grown-ups are talking.
261
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:55,783
Aya, how long
has it been-- eight,
262
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:59,864
900 years since you saw this?
263
00:13:00,071 --> 00:13:03,120
For the uninitiated--
The charter of the Strix,
264
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:06,669
written by... Oh, yes-- me.
265
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:11,375
And it says here,
it shall be
266
00:13:11,582 --> 00:13:13,459
my duty to uphold the tenets
of the charter.
268
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:17,009
Oh, this is important.
269
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:18,465
"In the absence
of a worthy leader,
270
00:13:18,673 --> 00:13:20,050
"charter shall be invoked,
271
00:13:20,258 --> 00:13:23,478
"and complete dominion
shall be restored to...
272
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:26,682
Elijah Mikaelson."
274
00:13:28,891 --> 00:13:33,146
If you were determined to stake
this absurd claim as founder,
275
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:37,200
then I invoke the right
of ludum regale.
276
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:40,699
I'm sorry, does
someone want
277
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:43,247
to please explain
what the hell that is?
278
00:13:43,448 --> 00:13:45,416
Ludum regale--game of kings.
279
00:13:45,616 --> 00:13:47,414
Let's not do this, shall we?
280
00:13:47,618 --> 00:13:49,461
You cannot invoke one element
of the charter
281
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:51,039
and disregard the rest.
282
00:13:51,247 --> 00:13:53,625
As it happens, I know the rules.
283
00:13:53,833 --> 00:13:58,179
After all...
I helped you write them.
284
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:02,763
If our leadership is in doubt
285
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:04,389
and politics proves divisive,
286
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,471
a contest of strength
and cunning
287
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,522
shall determine the
line of succession.
288
00:14:08,723 --> 00:14:11,943
So, I challenge
you to a duel.
289
00:14:14,812 --> 00:14:17,190
Whomever holds the charter
at the stroke of midnight
290
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:18,866
shall be the new
leader of the Strix.
291
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:22,287
You would choose strength
over cunning?
292
00:14:23,654 --> 00:14:26,032
Do you accept?
298
00:15:32,515 --> 00:15:33,482
Hey!
299
00:15:33,683 --> 00:15:34,900
Hey!
300
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:36,569
Are you serious
with all that noise?!
301
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:38,692
Oh, I'm sorry. Has my
therapist's betrayal
302
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:41,274
inconvenienced your
otherwise tranquil day?
303
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,610
Our daughter has been upset.
304
00:15:43,818 --> 00:15:47,038
She's still dealing with
the fact that Jack is gone,
305
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:50,538
and the only thing that calms
her is her favorite toy,
306
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:53,540
which Cami stole
to get back at you.
307
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:57,794
So, if you wake her up with
all this slamming around,
308
00:15:57,999 --> 00:16:00,718
so help me, Cami will be
the least of your problems.
309
00:16:00,918 --> 00:16:03,341
It pains me that hope is upset,
310
00:16:03,546 --> 00:16:05,799
so I'll add it
to the long list of grievances
311
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,388
I'm already tallying, hmm?
312
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:14,349
I know that you're
angry at Cami, Klaus,
313
00:16:14,557 --> 00:16:16,355
but you know
as well as I do that
314
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:18,027
she's not in
her right mind.
315
00:16:18,227 --> 00:16:20,321
I beg to differ. Camille seems
quite lucid tucked away
316
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:22,569
behind the barrier spell
in the city of the dead
317
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:25,822
as she taunts me with
the very means of my demise!
319
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:38,544
Anything you care
to share with the group?
320
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:48,349
Oh, we're really gonna do this.
321
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:49,801
Oldest,
most sophisticated society
322
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,226
of vampires in the world,
323
00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:52,929
and we settle
our disputes like kids
324
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:54,389
on the playground
at recess.
325
00:16:54,597 --> 00:16:56,065
My sentiments precisely.
326
00:16:56,265 --> 00:16:58,518
Aya seems to disagree.
327
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:04,573
I could order my brethren
to fight on my behalf.
328
00:17:04,774 --> 00:17:06,526
Such is their loyalty.
329
00:17:08,653 --> 00:17:12,078
But we both know, this
is between you and me.
330
00:17:13,241 --> 00:17:15,084
Leadership must be earned,
331
00:17:15,284 --> 00:17:17,878
and one way or another,
I will have that charter.
332
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:22,925
Come get it.
333
00:17:24,627 --> 00:17:26,254
Klaus should be back by now.
334
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:28,806
He's got a lot of witch weapons
to pack up, not to mention all
335
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:30,303
the pride he's gonna have
to swallow.
336
00:17:30,508 --> 00:17:32,101
You don't actually
feel sorry for him, do you?
337
00:17:32,301 --> 00:17:37,808
Hell, no! But you got to admit,
you poked a real irritable bear.
338
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:39,688
Things are gonna be different
between you two.
339
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:41,485
I know Klaus better than anyone
outside of his family.
340
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:43,609
If using that knowledge
is a risk to get what I want,
341
00:17:43,813 --> 00:17:44,939
then I'll take that risk.
342
00:17:45,147 --> 00:17:46,273
Okay, well, here's the thing.
343
00:17:46,482 --> 00:17:48,985
Klaus let you into his life
because he trusted you.
344
00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:51,616
That girl never would have
stolen the one thing
345
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:53,414
under the sun that can kill him.
346
00:17:54,782 --> 00:17:57,456
That girl is dead.
347
00:17:57,660 --> 00:18:00,584
Come on.
348
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,540
You know something.
349
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:05,046
I can tell by the look
in your face.
351
00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:09,468
If I knew something,
I'd tell you.
352
00:18:09,672 --> 00:18:11,549
We're supposed to be sisters
now, right?
353
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,179
I don't know about that.
354
00:18:13,384 --> 00:18:16,604
After all, the weapon
that we're looking for will
355
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:19,978
probably be used
to wipe out a whole sire line,
356
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:23,777
including some
of your vampire friends.
358
00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:30,531
Is that what this is?
359
00:18:30,735 --> 00:18:33,739
Pick on the new girl
'cause she knows a few vampires?
360
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:37,166
Big deal. I agreed to work
with the Strix, same as you.
361
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:39,164
You're nothing like me.
362
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:42,292
You actually believe Aya's going
to make good on her promises.
363
00:18:42,496 --> 00:18:43,873
She already has.
364
00:18:44,081 --> 00:18:45,924
She gave me the spell
to help the person
365
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:47,593
that I care about
more than anything.
366
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:50,592
All I need now is power,
367
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:54,266
and I'll do whatever
I have to to get it.
368
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:57,220
I was just a kid
when I became a sister.
369
00:18:57,428 --> 00:19:02,400
My family was poor,
my mother was sick.
370
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,398
All I wanted
371
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:07,776
was to help them.
372
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:10,199
And there was Aya...
373
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,528
With all of her promises.
374
00:19:13,736 --> 00:19:18,116
By the time I finished doing
everything she asked me...
375
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:22,670
My own mother couldn't even
stand the sight of me.
376
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:29,879
See, Davina, real magic,
like we use here--
377
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:31,463
It would change you.
378
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:33,719
My guess is,
379
00:19:33,923 --> 00:19:35,220
it'll be right after
380
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:36,926
you've saved
that person you care about.
381
00:19:37,134 --> 00:19:38,761
That's when
you'll lose everything.
382
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:43,270
You're wrong, because
that person that I care about--
383
00:19:43,474 --> 00:19:46,102
He means way too much to me.
384
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:50,986
All I care about is leaving
this damn coven.
385
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,285
But first you're gonna
tell me what you know.
392
00:20:23,013 --> 00:20:24,765
You quite done?
393
00:20:24,974 --> 00:20:26,100
You'd have me submit?
394
00:20:26,308 --> 00:20:27,901
Once again,
395
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:30,821
I prove I have
a mind of my own.
398
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:36,494
Let's not make
this more unpleasant
399
00:20:36,694 --> 00:20:37,661
than it needs to be.
400
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:38,863
After all this time,
401
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:41,574
how could you think
that we would follow you?
404
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:55,588
All of you swore loyalty
to a serpent
405
00:20:55,796 --> 00:20:57,514
who seized control
of this fellowship,
406
00:20:57,715 --> 00:20:59,888
all in the name
of furthering his tyranny.
407
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:03,972
Seize control-- is that
how you rewrite history?
408
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:08,026
You ran like a coward,
409
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:13,982
leaving Strix to be slaughtered
by your mad father.
410
00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:15,533
I had no choice.
411
00:21:15,733 --> 00:21:17,906
We all have a choice!
412
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:20,204
And that day I watched as
413
00:21:20,404 --> 00:21:22,247
my fellow Strix
were slaughtered by the dozens.
414
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,871
I returned.
415
00:21:25,075 --> 00:21:28,955
The moment I knew that my
family was safe, I returned...
416
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:30,335
To the horror...
417
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:34,510
The wreckage, the corpses,
the ruin.
418
00:21:36,504 --> 00:21:39,599
The devastation that I felt
when I thought of your death.
419
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,018
But I did not die!
420
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:45,347
Thanks to the efforts
of a true nobleman.
421
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:48,683
Tristan saved us!
422
00:21:48,891 --> 00:21:51,189
He earned our loyalty.
423
00:21:51,393 --> 00:21:53,236
Tristan is a vulture,
424
00:21:53,437 --> 00:21:56,316
a usurper who stole
our very dream...
425
00:21:56,524 --> 00:21:59,368
Violating everything
that we once fought for,
426
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:02,538
all in the name
of that twisted crusade.
427
00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:05,491
Say what you will.
428
00:22:05,699 --> 00:22:07,918
You choose your
own family always,
429
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:09,745
above all.
430
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:12,298
And that
is why
431
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:14,671
you're as cursed as them.
433
00:22:20,756 --> 00:22:22,758
This is Elijah Mikaelson,
434
00:22:22,967 --> 00:22:25,311
traitor to our cause!
435
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,393
You know I would rather die
436
00:22:28,597 --> 00:22:31,476
than accept you as leader.
439
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:38,115
If that's your ultimatum...
440
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:41,201
...then I accept.
442
00:22:51,328 --> 00:22:54,707
I thought you two were
gonna talk each other to death.
443
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:57,509
But since this is my city,
I say we play by my rules.
444
00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:59,178
So...
445
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:00,755
Catch me if you can.
446
00:23:00,963 --> 00:23:02,556
If not, come midnight,
447
00:23:02,756 --> 00:23:04,258
I'm in charge.
448
00:23:21,859 --> 00:23:23,281
If someone's playing games,
449
00:23:23,485 --> 00:23:25,362
just know the contest ends
450
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:26,447
when I claim...
453
00:23:36,957 --> 00:23:39,051
Camille!
457
00:24:21,210 --> 00:24:22,678
A young upstart steals
our charter,
458
00:24:22,878 --> 00:24:25,006
yet you don't seem
all that concerned.
459
00:24:25,214 --> 00:24:26,841
Well, I have my sources
searching for Marcel.
460
00:24:27,049 --> 00:24:28,551
They won't be long.
461
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:31,103
Still, I can't imagine
that this turn of events
462
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,647
will improve your odds.
463
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:35,599
The game's not over.
464
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:38,231
When the Strix find Marcel,
465
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:41,234
they'll take back the charter
and hand-deliver it to me.
466
00:24:41,438 --> 00:24:42,860
Interesting.
467
00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:47,821
Of course, Marcel is
very popular with the locals.
468
00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:49,905
You understand
that if he seeks refuge
469
00:24:50,114 --> 00:24:52,833
in any one of
the many residences around here,
470
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:55,707
neither you nor I may enter.
471
00:25:00,082 --> 00:25:02,050
At the gym...
472
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:07,305
...you had the chance to end me.
473
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,632
You hesitated.
474
00:25:10,676 --> 00:25:12,223
Why?
475
00:25:16,724 --> 00:25:18,567
I wouldn't be too concerned.
476
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:23,147
Should the opportunity
present itself again,
477
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,198
I'll be certain
to finish the task.
479
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:47,963
Something's not right.
480
00:25:48,172 --> 00:25:49,173
H ey,
481
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:50,132
stay here.
482
00:25:52,176 --> 00:25:54,019
Camille!
483
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:56,597
She can't hear you.
484
00:25:56,805 --> 00:25:58,773
As a matter of fact,
485
00:25:58,974 --> 00:26:00,817
pretty soon now,
she'll be dead.
486
00:26:02,686 --> 00:26:05,530
I hope you two parted
on good terms.
487
00:26:09,651 --> 00:26:12,029
Show yourself.
489
00:26:15,657 --> 00:26:17,079
You're one of the coven
490
00:26:17,284 --> 00:26:19,207
affiliated with the Strix.
491
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:23,041
My sisters and I have come for
the one thing that can kill you.
492
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:26,127
Well, perhaps I'll find
your sisters and feed them
493
00:26:26,335 --> 00:26:28,758
what remains of your insides.
494
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:34,309
I have a better idea.
497
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:48,065
Where have you been?
498
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:50,071
We're not alone.
499
00:26:50,275 --> 00:26:52,619
How is that even possible? What
happened to the boundary spell?
500
00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:54,538
That's all good when you're
trying to keep out a vampire.
501
00:26:54,738 --> 00:26:55,830
This feels
like something different.
502
00:27:04,665 --> 00:27:06,759
This here is hallowed ground,
503
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:08,836
home to the nine covens
of New Orleans.
504
00:27:09,044 --> 00:27:10,296
Y'all need to be
on y'all's way.
506
00:27:16,176 --> 00:27:18,770
Okay, I'm gonna give you
one guess
507
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:19,972
what they're here for.
508
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:24,151
Cami, either
they're gonna kill you
509
00:27:24,351 --> 00:27:26,149
or Klaus will for losing
that thing. You need to go.
510
00:27:26,353 --> 00:27:27,821
No. What about you?
511
00:27:28,021 --> 00:27:29,819
Go. Run.
512
00:27:29,982 --> 00:27:31,074
Now.
516
00:27:51,587 --> 00:27:53,715
Who the hell are you?
517
00:27:53,922 --> 00:27:55,845
Does it really matter?
518
00:27:56,049 --> 00:27:58,598
You know what
I've come for.
519
00:28:00,304 --> 00:28:01,556
Hand it over.
520
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:09,195
I'm not going to ask twice.
524
00:28:18,155 --> 00:28:20,032
You have a high tolerance
for pain.
525
00:28:21,658 --> 00:28:23,877
Let's see how high.
528
00:28:27,748 --> 00:28:28,590
No.
536
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:24,434
Well, this little escapade has
been very cute indeed, Marcel.
537
00:29:24,638 --> 00:29:27,061
Why don't you come outside
and give me the charter?
538
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:30,190
Mm, no.
No, I'm fine right where I am.
539
00:29:30,394 --> 00:29:32,772
I got about three minutes
540
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:34,277
until I'm the new grand poobah.
541
00:29:34,481 --> 00:29:37,280
Until then,
good luck trying to find me.
542
00:29:37,484 --> 00:29:39,737
Look outside.
544
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:51,248
It's not difficult
to track your enemies
545
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,675
when your
sister's a witch.
546
00:29:53,875 --> 00:29:55,252
Well, in that case,
good luck
547
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:57,133
getting in
without an invitation.
548
00:29:57,337 --> 00:29:58,839
If you think I'm above burning
this place to the ground,
549
00:29:59,047 --> 00:29:59,969
you are gravely mistaken.
550
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:02,134
Well, that's not very civilized,
551
00:30:02,342 --> 00:30:04,310
is it?
552
00:30:05,345 --> 00:30:06,813
Outside.
553
00:30:07,014 --> 00:30:08,311
Now.
555
00:30:23,238 --> 00:30:24,831
Elijah?
556
00:30:25,032 --> 00:30:26,875
Please come in.
557
00:30:47,971 --> 00:30:51,100
You realize this is your doing.
558
00:30:51,308 --> 00:30:53,936
Your attempt to manipulate me played
right into our enemies' hands.
559
00:30:54,144 --> 00:30:55,737
And I said I'm sorry.
560
00:30:55,937 --> 00:30:57,564
Your apologies won't bring
back what's been lost.
561
00:30:57,773 --> 00:31:01,243
Then shut up and let Vincent
track down that witch!
562
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,532
Where do you think you're going?
563
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:07,787
I want to find her
just as much as you do,
564
00:31:07,991 --> 00:31:09,288
but I cannot concentrate,
565
00:31:09,493 --> 00:31:11,040
not with
this pointless bickering.
566
00:31:11,244 --> 00:31:12,336
Well, then,
by all means,
567
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:14,585
please, go, attend
to your task.
568
00:31:14,790 --> 00:31:17,509
You, however, are not
going to leave my sight!
570
00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:24,220
It's midnight, Elijah.
571
00:31:24,424 --> 00:31:25,892
Time's run out.
According to our own laws,
572
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:27,185
the contest is complete.
573
00:31:27,386 --> 00:31:28,888
Guess that makes me the winner.
574
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:31,019
Ridiculous.
575
00:31:31,223 --> 00:31:33,442
This wasn't a contest.
This was evasion.
576
00:31:33,642 --> 00:31:36,441
I had a little time
to read your charter.
577
00:31:36,645 --> 00:31:39,774
The ludum regale was never meant
to be just a fistfight.
578
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:43,614
Aspiring leaders face off
579
00:31:43,819 --> 00:31:46,493
in a contest
that requires cunning.
580
00:31:46,696 --> 00:31:48,323
Why?
581
00:31:48,532 --> 00:31:50,159
Because you want a leader
582
00:31:50,367 --> 00:31:52,335
with more brains
than brawn.
583
00:31:52,536 --> 00:31:54,334
Reason I beat you all
is because I know
584
00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:56,757
every nook and cranny
in the quarter.
585
00:31:56,915 --> 00:32:00,510
Underground tunnels, secret
passageways between properties.
586
00:32:00,710 --> 00:32:03,384
And since I'm so charming,
587
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:04,931
I get invited everywhere.
589
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:15,309
Hey, you kill me,
590
00:32:15,517 --> 00:32:17,269
you are in violation
of your own damn charter.
591
00:32:17,477 --> 00:32:19,855
Nobody's gonna
follow your rules if you can't
592
00:32:20,063 --> 00:32:21,280
follow them yourself.
593
00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:24,826
He's right, Elijah.
Let him go.
597
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:43,303
I'm not the strongest one here.
598
00:32:43,503 --> 00:32:45,346
But I won the game.
599
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:50,219
I've been watching
the Mikaelsons my whole life.
600
00:32:50,427 --> 00:32:53,101
Studied them since I was a kid.
601
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:57,026
That's how I drove them out of
New Orleans in the first place.
602
00:32:57,225 --> 00:33:00,069
Rebuilt this city in my image
603
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:01,567
under my rules.
604
00:33:01,771 --> 00:33:03,865
Offered alliances
to all of my friends
605
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:06,614
and got rid of everybody else.
606
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:09,492
This is my city
because I took it.
607
00:33:10,739 --> 00:33:12,958
That is what a leader does!
608
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:18,213
If this prophecy
609
00:33:18,413 --> 00:33:20,415
that you're all
afraid of is gonna happen,
610
00:33:20,624 --> 00:33:22,342
it's gonna
happen here,
611
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:23,634
on my streets.
612
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:26,054
And if we're gonna stop it
613
00:33:26,254 --> 00:33:28,222
from killing us all,
614
00:33:28,423 --> 00:33:30,642
who's a better leader than me?
615
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:32,219
This is absurd.
616
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:34,304
Marcel has won.
617
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:37,357
Better to stand with him
and fight to live
618
00:33:37,557 --> 00:33:39,651
than stand with you.
619
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:42,024
You'll be little more
than an afterthought.
620
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:50,533
To the new leader
of the Strix...
621
00:33:50,737 --> 00:33:52,580
Marcel Gerard.
622
00:34:01,081 --> 00:34:04,051
What were you thinking? Did it
occur to you, the immense danger
623
00:34:04,251 --> 00:34:06,345
you placed yourself in?
You were almost killed!
624
00:34:06,545 --> 00:34:08,889
I would have been.
Thank god I had my dark objects.
625
00:34:09,089 --> 00:34:11,057
The amount of vu inerability
you're feeling
626
00:34:11,258 --> 00:34:12,635
right now, Klaus--
That's what I deal with
627
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:14,185
all the time. Why do you
think I'm so desperate
628
00:34:14,386 --> 00:34:16,059
to protect myself?
If you had just
629
00:34:16,263 --> 00:34:17,139
given me what I asked for...
630
00:34:17,347 --> 00:34:18,815
Do not blame me.
631
00:34:19,015 --> 00:34:21,143
I took a calculated risk, yes.
632
00:34:21,351 --> 00:34:23,854
Did it blow up in my face?
633
00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:26,565
Yes.
And I am sorry.
634
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:29,071
I am. But if you had
just listened to me
635
00:34:29,276 --> 00:34:30,823
we wouldn't be here right now.
637
00:34:31,945 --> 00:34:32,696
It's the same story
with you, Klaus.
638
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:34,656
For a thousand years
you-you control,
639
00:34:34,864 --> 00:34:37,458
you manipulate, you do whatever
you need to do to get your way.
640
00:34:37,659 --> 00:34:39,912
And I'm not gonna be a part
of it anymore. I don't care
641
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,838
how high the risk is.
642
00:34:42,038 --> 00:34:43,756
Answer your bloody
phone, would you?
643
00:34:43,957 --> 00:34:45,584
What?
644
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:47,419
Cami, you have to listen to me.
One of the Strix witches knows
645
00:34:47,627 --> 00:34:49,755
where you are and she knows
that you have the white oak.
646
00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:52,091
You're a little late, kiddo.
She already took it,
647
00:34:52,299 --> 00:34:54,097
which means, I guess,
the Strix have it now.
648
00:34:54,301 --> 00:34:56,395
No, you don't understand.
When she got inside my head,
649
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:59,940
I got inside hers.
She's not working for the Strix.
650
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:13,112
So? I trust it went well?
652
00:35:18,491 --> 00:35:21,040
So much fuss
over such a little trinket.
653
00:35:21,244 --> 00:35:24,168
You know, I'm so glad
that I can rely on you.
654
00:35:24,372 --> 00:35:25,840
You've more than
earned your reward.
655
00:35:26,041 --> 00:35:28,294
And now you will help me.
656
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:31,254
Free me from my perpetual
servitude to the Strix.
657
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:32,555
Yes.
658
00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:34,599
I'll end it right now.
662
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:04,625
You had to punch your hand
through my chest.
663
664
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:11,177
Marcel, I was in character.
The moment took me.
665
00:36:11,378 --> 00:36:14,302
Besides, between
that absurd contest
666
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:15,723
and your master class
performance...
667
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:17,676
Thank you.
668
00:36:17,884 --> 00:36:19,261
...they were beautifully
distracted from this whole
669
00:36:19,469 --> 00:36:21,471
white oak business.
So...
670
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,057
To the new grand poobah.
671
00:36:23,264 --> 00:36:24,732
Right.
Uh, which, actually
672
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:26,355
brings me to my next point.
673
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:28,027
Even if I can control
your friends,
674
00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:29,525
what about your enemies?
675
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:30,946
If a sire line war heats up,
676
00:36:31,147 --> 00:36:32,615
the quarter is gonna
become a war zone.
677
00:36:32,816 --> 00:36:34,443
And now we have an army.
678
00:36:34,651 --> 00:36:37,905
So perhaps we can keep
this wretched prophecy at bay.
679
00:36:38,113 --> 00:36:40,366
Oh, that's right. We fight
so you live, because
680
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:42,705
if Klaus falls, so do l.
And if you fall, well,
681
00:36:42,909 --> 00:36:44,377
there go the Strix.
682
00:36:44,577 --> 00:36:45,999
Indeed.
683
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:47,706
Try to keep
those clowns in line.
684
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:57,674
Thank you, Davina,
685
00:36:57,882 --> 00:37:00,601
for your kindness.
686
00:37:01,970 --> 00:37:03,347
How are you here?
687
00:37:03,555 --> 00:37:05,478
You consecrated me.
688
00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:06,774
You're with
the ancestors, with...
689
00:37:06,975 --> 00:37:08,067
Yes.
690
00:37:08,268 --> 00:37:10,646
With Kol.
691
00:37:10,854 --> 00:37:14,028
And things are not
going well for him.
692
00:37:15,525 --> 00:37:16,617
Can you help him?
693
00:37:16,818 --> 00:37:19,537
You have to help him.
694
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:22,912
You're the only one who can.
695
00:37:23,116 --> 00:37:24,584
Our coven's magic is dark
696
00:37:24,784 --> 00:37:26,627
and it comes
at a very high price.
697
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:29,581
But together,
as sisters, we are powerful.
698
00:37:29,789 --> 00:37:32,884
You can use that power
to save your friend Kol.
699
00:37:34,502 --> 00:37:35,970
If not, you will
lose him to a fate
700
00:37:36,171 --> 00:37:38,139
far worse than death.
701
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:57,279
I have killed
many, many people
702
00:37:57,484 --> 00:37:58,781
for far less
than what you've done.
703
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:00,115
What do you
want me to say, Klaus?
704
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,867
Thank you for not killing me?
705
00:38:02,071 --> 00:38:03,414
You're in the throes
of a metamorphosis
706
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:05,288
you cannot possibly comprehend.
707
00:38:05,492 --> 00:38:07,665
One that has clearly
impaired your judgment.
708
00:38:07,869 --> 00:38:09,871
I may not yet know
who I am or what I am,
709
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,252
but I do know
I will never live in fear
710
00:38:12,457 --> 00:38:14,505
of anyone again.
711
00:38:14,709 --> 00:38:16,336
Ever.
712
00:38:20,632 --> 00:38:23,886
You could have trusted me.
713
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:24,685
Klaus...
716
00:38:30,058 --> 00:38:31,981
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown.
717
00:38:33,812 --> 00:38:36,611
You've no idea where
to begin, do you?
718
00:38:36,815 --> 00:38:38,158
I'm no stranger
to running things.
719
00:38:38,358 --> 00:38:40,156
I've been doing it here
for a long while.
720
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,203
Well, give or take
an intermission or two.
721
00:38:43,696 --> 00:38:45,073
First thing I'd like to
do is make sure
722
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:47,124
I know who's on my side.
723
00:38:49,702 --> 00:38:51,670
The problem, as I see it,
is simple.
724
00:38:51,871 --> 00:38:54,499
The Strix are comprised
of one sire line. And now
725
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:57,335
we are to be led bya
vampire from another.
726
00:38:57,544 --> 00:38:58,966
Regardless of the distinction,
727
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:01,764
all our lives are bound
to those who made us.
728
00:39:01,965 --> 00:39:05,344
And should this prophecy come
to pass, we will all perish.
729
00:39:05,552 --> 00:39:09,182
As leader, how would you
navigate that threat?
730
00:39:09,389 --> 00:39:12,188
You don't go to war
731
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:13,647
without wise guidance.
732
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:16,321
Victory depends
on having many advisors.
733
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:17,943
And by the look
in your eyes, it looks like
734
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:19,649
you have
some advice to give.
735
00:39:21,276 --> 00:39:24,621
So... Spill it.
736
00:39:24,821 --> 00:39:26,164
Not that long ago
737
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:28,287
we developed a contingency plan.
739
00:39:30,285 --> 00:39:33,084
There is a reason
I recruited Davina Claire.
740
00:39:33,288 --> 00:39:36,167
You see, with the right witches,
the correct spell,
741
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,047
the precise binding agent,
742
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:41,221
there is a means to eradicate
our link to our sires.
743
00:39:41,421 --> 00:39:44,595
Making us free from
the Mikaelsons forever. Then,
744
00:39:44,799 --> 00:39:47,222
and only then, will we
have true independence.
745
00:39:47,385 --> 00:39:48,602
Davina is...
746
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:52,353
Obstinate,
but she will listen to you.
747
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:55,356
So what do you say?
748
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,564
Will you lead the
Strix to freedom?
750
00:40:06,195 --> 00:40:09,039
I trust Freya had no luck
finding that witch.
751
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:10,913
Not in the...
752
00:40:11,117 --> 00:40:14,872
Seven minutes since
your last inquiry, Niklaus, no.
753
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:17,548
Aurora's involvement
changes everything.
754
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:19,547
If Aya and the Strix
had the oak, we could at least
755
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:21,094
be certain
you were not the target.
756
00:40:21,294 --> 00:40:23,012
But with the weapon
in Aurora's hands...
757
00:40:23,212 --> 00:40:25,260
I do wonder which one of us
she'll try and kill first.
758
00:40:25,465 --> 00:40:27,638
You broke her heart, l...
759
00:40:27,842 --> 00:40:29,560
Broke her mind.
760
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:31,934
I suppose both of us
share the sin
761
00:40:32,138 --> 00:40:34,391
of Tristan's unceremonious
burial at sea.
762
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,021
Mm.
763
00:40:36,225 --> 00:40:37,898
It's normally we
764
00:40:38,102 --> 00:40:40,230
who pose the threat
to our intimates.
765
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:41,860
It's an odd feeling--
766
00:40:42,065 --> 00:40:43,612
The roles
reversed.
767
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:48,447
I always did
loathe irony.
770
00:41:10,969 --> 00:41:12,846
I finished the last one.
771
00:41:20,353 --> 00:41:21,900
Fabulous.
772
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:23,652
If you don't
mind my asking,
773
00:41:23,856 --> 00:41:26,325
what animal do you aim to hunt
with bullets made of wood?
774
00:41:26,526 --> 00:41:28,949
Not an animal at all, darling.
775
00:41:29,153 --> 00:41:31,201
A monster.
776
00:41:31,406 --> 00:41:35,127
An entire family of them.
