you were on the up and up,
185

hallucinating me as a waiter.
186
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,284
I mean, I couldn't be a manager
or something?
187

I think you're missing the point.

that was a huge misunderstanding.

to get out of the baby food tasting game?

(BOTH GRUNTING)
525
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:28,125
- Hey.
- Excuse me for one second.
526
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,123
- Hey.
- Hey. Why didn't you answer your phone?
527
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,647
I'm sorry,
I was using it for the playlist.
528
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,927
Are you all right?
529
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,127
- Has Damon been here?
- No.
530
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,566
- Why would he be?
- I don't know where he is.
531
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,489
I thought he was with me,
and then he wasn't, and--
532
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,642
- Okay, okay, Stefan, just calm down.
-(BREATHING HEAVILY)
533
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,120
Focus.
534
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,728
Hey, what... What is going on?
535
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,806
It's happening again.
536
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:49,801
I was talking to Damon,
537
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,731
I think he was there,
but now I don't know when he left.
538
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,801
It's okay.
539
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,081
You're okay.
540
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,486
No, I'm not.
541
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,606
And neither is he.
542
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,004
Can't you find someone else to haunt?
543
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,925
I can't leave until you find liberation.
544
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,004
-(GRUNTS)
- You're still denying your nature.
545
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,527
You haven't let go
of what's holding you back.
546
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,366
What does that hell-stone
have to do with my true nature?
547
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,965
A Phoenix Stone.
548
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,931
It doesn't trap you.
549
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,360
It frees you,
550
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,490
to be reborn as your true self.
551
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,330
You wanna see my true self?
552
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,369
- I need to go find Damon, all right?
- No, you don't.
553
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,206
You know what?
We are going to take care of you first.
554
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,364
How are you gonna take care of me?
My soul was literally trapped in a rock--
555
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,523
Yeah, until you passed some kind of test.
556
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,643
You never told me
how you earned your freedom.
557
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,046
Bonnie pulled me out with a spell,
you know that.
558
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,169
No, something else happened
in that hell-world,
559
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,010
something that you won't admit.
560
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,009
And you can't keep hiding
like this, Stefan.
561
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,207
You can't.
562
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,965
Just please, let me help you.
563
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,283
There's nothing we can do
about it now. Okay?
564
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,563
God damn it. You have to tell me.
565
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,801
That's the only way
that we're gonna get through it.
566
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,485
You have to try. Just--
567
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,644
God, you can't go on like this.
568
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,205
I was living
in a repeating loop of misery.
569
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,524
Every loop ended
with Damon dragging me into the quarry.
570
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,929
The water was black and freezing.
571
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,730
We were drowning together.
572
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,171
Every time I tried to swim to the surface,
573
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,884
he dragged me back down.
574
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,083
Every time I tried to save him,
I died, too-
575
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,523
I finally realized
that there was only one way to escape.
576
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,885
If I wanted to survive,
577
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,770
I had to go on without him.
578
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,286
So, I let him go.
579
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,120
I abandoned him.
580
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,803
I let my brother drown,
581
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,802
so I could save myself.
582
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,971
So, that's why you're hallucinating him?
583
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,724
Because some faux-version
of your brother is upset
584
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,163
with something that you did
in a fake reality?
585
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,449
The hell-stone is trying
to tell me something.
586
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,448
It's trying to prove a point.
587
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280
I will never be happy
588
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,642
until Damon is out of my life for good.
589
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,285
Do you really believe that?
590
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,483
Took my words to heart, did you?
591
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,130
-(GRUNTS)
- Shut up.
592
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,930
I'm not doing this with you anymore.
593
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,891
I told you to leave me alone.
594
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,131
Now, I'm gonna end this.
595
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,167
You're right.
596
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,681
You're not doing it with me anymore.
597
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,680
Henry?
598
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,167
I promised you liberation.
599
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,964
No. Elena!
600
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,491
This was necessary, Damon.
601
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,008
She held you back from being
the monster you really are.
602
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,566
No.
603
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,205
Elena. (GRUNTING)
604
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,046
Oh, my God!
605
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,486
No.
606
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,170
No. No.
607
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,640
No!
608
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,600
Elena!
609
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,720
Oh, God, Elena.
610
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,205
In case it wasn't obvious,
today was supposed to be a fresh start.
611
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,407
Oh, spare me the lecture.
612
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,001
What the hell is your problem?
I was trying to be nice to you.
613
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,764
After I left your wretched party,
I found this in my mail.
614
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,325
Is this your idea of a joke?
615
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,721
Postcard?
616
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,047
You have a pen pal.
617
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,481
If you sent this, you'd best admit it now,
618
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,842
before I squeeze the truth
from your trachea.
619
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,371
Why would I send this to you?
620
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,688
And even if I did,
what's so scary about the alphabet?
621
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,246
It's a warning.
622
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,720
From the Huntress.
623
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,606
You're saying that
like I should know who that is.
624
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,000
You certainly know her weapon.
625
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,126
The sword.
626
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,845
Yes.
627
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,445
Custom-made for her.
628
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,723
She used to it to put Julian in the stone,
along with thousands of other vampires.
629
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,160
She's ruthless.
630
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,971
Once you've been marked by her sword,
she never stops hunting you.
631
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,044
That's how Beau got his scar.
632
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,208
She'll come for him now.
She'll come for all of us.
633
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,761
And how do we stop her?
634
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,405
There's no stopping her, ever.
635
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:05,807
And there's no "we" involved.
636
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,201
Besides, she's not after you,
so it's really not your concern.
637
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,010
If my friends' lives are in danger,
638
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,644
I'm not gonna stand by and do nothing.
639
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,571
Then what do you propose we do?
640
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,687
OFFICER: Absolutely.
Right this way, sir...
641
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,960
All right, Officer Donovan,
you're clear to go.
642
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,924
But I can't let you drive yourself home.
643
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,931
I think I'll wait it out.
644
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,360
Sure you don't wanna call a friend?
645
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,446
The girl who does
our turndown service just left.
646
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,206
I'm a little light
in the friend department right now.
647
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,484
I heard about your graduation.
648
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,763
The whole "freak mining fire" thing.
649
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,010
I can't imagine
what it'd be like to lose half my class.
650
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Sorry you had to go through that.
651
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,480
Thanks.
652
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,891
It's weird town officials
didn't get FEMA involved,
653
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,840
or at least increase emergency response.
654
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:14,520
It's almost like everyone's resigned to
letting the fires burn out on their own.
655
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:17,210
Yeah, that's the way it seems.
656
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,129
Except, if everyone sits
around doing nothing,
657
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,445
there's not gonna be a town left.
658
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:25,960
Anyway,
659
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,200
good night.
660
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,407
Oh, and, uh, one last thing.
661
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,723
What the hell did we find in your truck?
662
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,009
-(DOOR OPENS)
-(RIC SIGHING)
663
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:11,920
Um...
664
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:17,610
I think that I should wash these onesies
with the hypoallergenic detergent first.
665
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,850
Where are the keys to the laundry room?
666
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,405
It's midnight, Caroline.
667
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,728
I mean, we've got plenty of time
to take care of all this stuff.
668
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,083
Yeah, no, I know. We should also really
get a head start on those car seats.
669
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,520
Because I read somewhere that
670
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,087
first-time parents
are just always messing those up.
671
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,602
And did you happen to notice
if the monitor came with little batteries?
672
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,888
You don't have any around here,
and the last thing that you need
673
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,367
are just these screaming, crying babies
in the middle of the night,
674
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,925
and you can't even hear them--
675
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,283
Hey. What's going on with you? You okay?
676
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,967
When were you gonna tell me
that you're leaving?
677
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,445
When I officially got the job.
678
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,608
And what's wrong
with the job that you have now?
679
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,040
There's nothing wrong with the job.
680
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,406
It's the place.
681
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:03,880
Faculty daycare.
682
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,002
Hello? And a preschool right here
on the campus.
683
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:12,131
Caroline, I am not raising my kids
anywhere near Mystic Falls,
684
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,084
or Whitmore College, or--
685
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,520
Vampires?
686
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,560
That's right.
687
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,769
Look, I'm sorry, I thought
all this baby stuff bonanza, you know,
688
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,008
was for a single parent on their own...
689
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:30,049
Yeah, no, it was.
690
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,968
Caroline, I was under the impression,
you know,
691
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,083
that once the babies were born,
692
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,567
that you weren't gonna be involved.
693
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,440
(SIGHS)
694
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,287
Uh, no, I won't. Because they're not mine.
695
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,763
They're yours and Jo's.
696
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,446
Anyway, I actually think
it's really smart.
697
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,205
You know, safety first.
698
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,608
You and your babies should get
as far away from here as you can.
699
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,280
Where were you?
700
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:15,920
Out.
701
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,565
I had to clear my head.
702
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,486
I let you go.
703
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,006
In my virtual hell,
we were drowning together,
704
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,125
and the only way for me to escape
was to turn my back on you.
705
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,961
And everything
I've been hallucinating since
706
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,209
was to drive that point home.
707
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,200
Of course it was.
708
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,930
The only way for you to be the hero
and have a happy ending
709
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,168
is to leave me in your wake.
710
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,930
How do you figure?
711
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,851
Because my true self is dark, brother.
712
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,691
And all that light
just keeps getting in the way.
713
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:06,371
Keeping me from being who I really am.
714
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,560
Which is what?
715
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,206
Reckless?
716
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,880
Manipulative?
717
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,440
Selfish?
718
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,486
Sounds about right.
719
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,841
Yeah, it is.
720
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,690
But you're also my brother.
721
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,166
And I'm not gonna give up on you,
not now, not ever.
722
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,889
You're stuck with me, Damon.
723
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,531
I need you to know that.
724
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,684
(SIGHS) Stefan.
725
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:51,680
L...
726
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,840
What is it?
727
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,400
(SIGHS)
728
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,081
Whatever it is, you can tell me.
729
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,726
We're out of bourbon.
730
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,206
Is that it?
731
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,680
That's it.
732
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,244
Here's to drowning together.
733
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:45,244
CAROLINE ON TV: We apologize for the
interruption to your current program.
734
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,447
My name is Caroline.
735
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,170
Please listen carefully.
736
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,369
I have an urgent message
for Stefan Salvatore.
737
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:52,925
We apologize...
738
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,160
(GRUNTS)
739
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,446
What are you doing here?
740
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,608
I thought you were in Mystic Falls.
741
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,409
I had to stop by
and visit some buddies at Dallas PD,
742
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,409
and convince them
this hostage thing was a hoax.
743
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,681
Get up.
744
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,646
You can put the gun down.
745
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,046
Get up.
746
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,249
(SIGHS) Thank you.
747
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,568
- You can go now.
- That's it?
748
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:30,921
You already did what we needed.
749
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,565
"We"? Are you helping her?
750
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,121
You were the easiest way to get to Stefan.
Don't take it personally.
751
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,685
"Don't take it personally"?
752
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,405
I have a family, Matt.
753
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:39,647
So did I.
754
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,366
And a girlfriend, and a life,
and now I don't.
755
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,884
So your problems don't mean anything
to me anymore.
756
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,326
Now go.
757
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,444
Get out of sight, and stay out of sight
until the Huntress gets what she wants.
