04x07 - Someplace Far Away from All This v*olence

Post by bunniefuu »

WADE: End of the line, Miss.
We're coming up on Mystic Falls.


(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

You picked a heck of a time to visit.

Town's having itself a hanging tomorrow.

A schoolteacher's
done m*rder*d his students

and b*rned up his school.

By high noon tomorrow,
he's got a date with a noose.

_
- Not if I have anything to say about it.

Because I'm his daughter.

I'm sorry to hear that, Miss.

Don't be. My father's innocent,
and I'll prove it.

If you'd like
to apologize for something,

may I suggest your breath?

(EXHALES)

(FIRE CRACKLING)

(WHIP CRACKS)

MG: Weird around here
with Hope being gone,


and Dr. Saltzman,

and Lizzie being in the therapy box.

Not that most notice.

That's why they are not Squad material.

Speaking of which,
do you want to train after class today?

Sure. Um... How's Jo dealing?

She wasn't in her room this morning.

We were supposed to have breakfast,
but she didn't show.

I'm assuming
she's in full spiral mode right now.

Hey. I'm sorry I'm late.

I've been up all night
reading my dad's old journals.

I found this entry...

My mom shut off her humanity
at one point, too.

I think there might be some clue

about how to turn
Hope's humanity back on.

- Any luck?
- Well, with my mom,

it was all about how her mom
had written a letter to her

before she had d*ed.

What was in the letter?

I don't know because my mom b*rned it,

but then Stefan Salvatore
showed her a memory

of what she had missed
when she b*rned the letter,

and the emotion from that
was enough to turn her humanity back on.

So, we have to write her a letter
and then... burn it?

No.

We need to get to Hope emotionally.

Remind her of her family, friends,
that this is her home.

And then we need to find
the right idea or feeling

that's powerful enough to break through.

FINCH: It's got to be good and fast.

Every time we face off with her
in the simulations,

she kills us in like ten seconds.

We're probably
only gonna have one chance.

It has to be the perfect idea.

You're thinking we're gonna need
some inspiration.

So, you're really thinking
that this tree can k*ll a Tribrid?

No. I'm certain it will.

What I'm less sure about is who I should
share this information with.

Yet here you are, talking to me.

Keeping secrets
has only ever brought me trouble,

and I'd like to believe I can trust you,
as well as our friends.

I don't think you can.

Why not?

'Cause, Cleo, we do dumb things
all the damn time

for what we think are good reasons,
for the people we care about,

kind of like me handing Hope
over to Malivore

to try and save you.

This is not the answer I wanted to hear.

Yeah, but you know
it could be the right one.

Or else you'd be talking to the real me.

You are a manifestation
of my subconscious,

which merely means that I'm torn,
but if I'm going to make a mistake,

this time it will be
trusting our friends,

not deceiving them.

(SIGHS)

Well, then let's hope
that you're right and I'm wrong.

(SIGHS)

KALEB: Here, monster, monster, monster.

(TWIG SNAPS)

Damn it, Jed.
What the hell are you doing here?

Following you,
so I can ask you the same question.

And I'm guessing the answer
has something to do

with that "wrong number"
from last night.

(SIGHS) You're smarter than you look,
you know that?

Thanks, but flattery
will get you nowhere.

Someone dropped a dime
that there may be a monster

out here in these woods,
so I decided to come take a look.

Malivore's dead,
so our monster problem should be, too.

But, just in case whoever called
wasn't sniffing glue,

I'm coming with you.

No, you're not.

Would you rather I tell the Squad
what you're up to?

What makes you think I care?
Or that they would?

I don't know, maybe,
uh, you being out here,

putting yourself in danger
to earn back their trust?

- That's not what this is about.
- Cool.

What are we hunting?

(SIGHS)

An Argus.

Big, ugly, thousand eyes,
hard to k*ll, harder to get the drop on.

Yeah, yeah.

Just wait till all those eyes
get a look at you

and your badass dragon powers.

(LAUGHS)

ALARIC: They're calling me a monster.

Saying I butchered my own students
and b*rned down my own school.

Hogwash.

You moved west to this godforsaken town

to enlighten those same,
uncivilized people.

So what really happened?

I have done nothing
but ask myself that question.

One minute,
I was in the classroom teaching,

and then the next,
I'm covered in ash and blood,

watching my dream go up in smoke,
searching for your sister.

Father, you must remember.
Where is Josette?

I don't know.

It's like there's a dark spot in my mind
where that memory should be.

Elizabeth,
what if they're right about me?

What if I have gone mad
and done something terrible?

I'd hang you myself,

but we both know that's not who you are,

don't we?

All I know is, I found this
in what remained of the school.

Though I don't recall
where this came from, either.

Then that's what I will discover.

Whoever this belongs to
must have taken our sweet Jo.

And I will see them hang instead of you.

CLEO: We'll find Hope,

but that is the future,

and the key to unlocking her humanity
lies in your past,

so think back
on the fondest memories you've shared.

I have an idea, but it's a lot.
You go first.

Mine will require some digging,
and I'm uncertain if it will work.

Sorry, I don't really
know Hope that well.

Same. I mean, we flirted once,
but I doubt she even remembers that.

It's cool.

You guys just leave this to those of us
that know Hope best

because I think I got something.

- (ALARM BLARING)
- What is that?

The magical alarm
I put in my dad's w*apon cabinet

after Cleo tried to k*ll Hope
that one time.

Super Squad assemble.

What are you doing here?

At the moment, being preemptively
annoyed by this conversation,

but I was actually hoping
to raid your father's weapons stash,

which has obviously been emptied.

CLEO: I thought it prudent,
given our history.

Why do you even need weapons?

It's a long story.

I may have to k*ll some vampires
and witches and werewolves,

and this place is like a one-stop shop
for pointy things.

Are you seriously threatening us?

No. I'm talking about the Triad.

But if you don't get me those weapons...

We'll give you anything that you need

if you give us what we need first.

You are aware
that I could k*ll you all, right?

JOSIE: We know what you're capable of.

Just like you know that we'll do
just about anything to get you back,

so you might as well
let us give you our best sh*t.

That is, unless, of course,
you're too scared.

If I put up with this best sh*t,
then will you finally give up on me?

Or do I have to find
that mother of yours who's never around?

Kidding about that last part, sort of.

CLEO: We do not wish
for anyone to get hurt, including you.

You have heard our terms.
Do you accept or not?

All you have to do is listen.

To which one of you?

Uh, to... all of us.

I guess I have some time to k*ll
before it's time to k*ll.

Let's begin.

(MICROPHONE FEEDBACK)

- Dare I ask what's happening?
- (APPLAUSE)

(DRUMROLL)

(AUDIENCE CHEERS, APPLAUDS)

(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING)

This is Salvatore Idol.

If people are gonna start to sing,
I'm gonna turn this into Survivor.

- (AUDIENCE GASPS)
- Whoa. Joking.

She's joking. We did a covenant spell.

She can't hurt anyone during the show.

Physically,
but I can hurt you emotionally.

Here's how it works...

ten stars representing
ten of your friends who are going to...

perform for you.

And at the end of each round,
you have to tell us how you feel,

and the truth orb will keep you honest.

This contest is the dumbest thing
that I've ever heard of.

(AUDIENCE GROANS)

It's working.

Let the games begin.

- (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
- (LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING)

(EXHALES)

When I first came to this school,

I didn't really fit in
with any of the factions,

but I always really
looked up to you, Hope,

because you didn't care
about fitting in.

You were unique.

And when I found out
that I actually was a fairy...

Wayne, I'm gonna stop you right there

because the only thing
that I'm feeling is, um...

irritation bordering on homicidal rage.

(AUDIENCE SHOUTING)

You know my name's Wade.

I also know that I was only nice to you
because of Landon.

Why don't you go sprout
some of your ridiculous wings

and go back to Fern Gully
or wherever you're from?

I was wrong. This is fun.

Next.

KALEB: What a mess.

You still think that monster problem
d*ed with Malivore, huh?

Well, you said it has a thousand eyes,

but you forgot to mention its teeth.

Why do you think it k*lled this guy?
Girl? Person?

'Cause it's a monster, Jed.
That's just what monsters do.

We should probably bury them,
whoever they are.

(SIGHS) There's no time for that now.

We got to find this thing and deal
with it before it hurts anyone else.

There's a town
on either end of these woods,

so if the Argus gets out before we do...

Well, can it fly?

Not to my knowledge. Why?

Because we can,
which gives us an advantage.

- What?
- It's Game of Thrones time, bro.

- What-what are you doing?
- Come on, man.

- What are you doing?
- Come on, man. Pop those wings.

We'll get a bird's-eye view,

be able to see
even better than the Argus.

I came here to k*ll a monster, Jed,
not become one.

(SIGHS) You know what?
Let's, uh, let's just split up.

(BAG ZIPS UP)

JOSIE: It's not going well, is it?

FINCH: Let's just say it.

This feels less like a game show
and more like a roast.

You're missing out on all
the not-remotely-fun,

but not for long,
'cause it's almost your turn.

I told MG I wanted to go last.

Like I said, almost your turn.

(SIGHS)

Which... clearly involves black magic?

Dating a witch
has taught me the difference

between fun spell herbs
and the scary ones hidden back here.

It's Cleo's inspiration.

I think bringing out my dark side

might help turn Hope's humanity back on.

Dark Josie? Bad idea.

You're the one that helped me
see that I can control her,

at least for a little bit.

And if MG's plan
is really going that bad,

this is our only option.

There might be one more.

Ethan and I have been researching
the whole "humanity switch" thing.

Turns out it's easier
to reach a vampire's emotions

if you can weaken them physically first.

Well, Hope doesn't get weak.

Unless we drain her blood.

That's not an option.

The slightest act of v*olence
can break the covenant spell.

We do that,
Hope can go full medieval on us.

- My plan has to work.
- So, what if it doesn't?

We can't just let Hope walk out of here,
knowing what she's capable of.

You just have to trust me.

I just need time.

(GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYING)

I'm not scared of you
like everyone else.

You taught me how to kick monster butt,

and you helped me
with all my art projects,

so I made this for you.

AUDIENCE: Aw.

Because you are my Salvatore Idol.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Excellent.

(SIGHS) Look, I know my humanity's off,
but I'm not a monster.

Do you really want me
to respond to that?

Uh, maybe you should just tell me
how you feel.

I feel like Pedro should have
his fingers cut off

and never make art again.

(APPLAUSE)

Great job, Pedro. Really.

Let's bring in
the next contestant, please.

HOPE: You're wasting my time
with these scrubs.

Pedro? Wade?

Are you gonna bring out
the A-team or what?

- (APPLAUSE)
- (GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYING)

(AUDIENCE GASPS)

KALEB: I believe you're looking for me.

(SPURS JINGLING)

And I believe you must be mistaken.

Perhaps if you could come closer,
I could see who you are.

Name's Kaleb Hawkins, ma'am.

Best hired g*n
these parts have to offer.

Heard you're looking
for such a man. (SPITS)

Been asking around town
about a necklace.

The very one in question.

Does this crude bauble
mean something to you?

It means you ought to leave town.

That there is the mark
of the Mikaelson g*ng,

and you don't want nothing
to do with them.

I have no choice.
My father's life depends on it.

Sorry, little lady,
but your pa's a dead man,

and you'll be dead, too,

if you ever cross paths
with the likes of Hope Mikaelson.

I can pay you well.

Unless a man such as yourself
lacks the stomach to track down a girl.

Hope Mikaelson's no mere girl, ma'am.
She's a... monster.

Not an ounce of humanity in her.

It's said she even drinks the blood
of her enemies.

- I trade in facts, not tall tales.
- (CHUCKLES)

Does this miscreant
also burn down schoolhouses

and abscond with innocent women,
such as my sister?

She might indeed.

(BELL TOLLS)

So I'm afraid I'll have
to retract my offer.

One more step and I'll scream.

In my experience, ma'am,

screaming don't do you no good
with holes in your neck.

Much appreciated, but, you see...

I got one of my own.

Now, about that neck.

(g*nsh*t)

Dad?

Now, that's an insult, Elizabeth.

I'm your Uncle Ric,

and I'm guessing my brother
never told you about me.

HOPE: I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Since Landon's dead,
I'm guessing that you're a golem

made from my late boyfriend's remains?

Illusion ring, actually.

I am not the real thing,
but this letter is.

He left it behind for you, Hope.

"Dear Hope, if you're reading this,
it means I'm dead,

which, admittedly, sucks,
but it's not all bad

because that probably means
you b*at Malivore,

which probably means
you had to become the Tribrid,

and I know you never wanted that,

but it does mean you get to do
what most of us only ever dream of.

You get to live forever.

Everything we talked about...

backpacking through Europe,
hiking up the Pacific coast...

you now have all the time in the world
to do those things.

I know you feel like you're alone,
but you're not.

You have friends that love you.

People that will never give up on you,
no matter what.

Don't pull away.

My wish is for you to have a long,
happy life, Hope.

Do all the things I'll never get to.

And wherever you go,
remember that I'll always love you.

Forever."

I'm feeling something.

- Boredom.
- (AUDIENCE SHOUTS)

Yeah, that's what I'm feeling. Um...

It's Cleo, right?
Fake Landons are kind of her thing.

I should thank you.

You pushed me to make the transition,

but that also means
that Landon's death is your fault.

If not for all your secrets,
this could have all been avoided.

(AUDIENCE GROANS)

Why don't we just skip to the end? Uh...

Ethan.

I'm gonna guess you were gonna use
some hokey sports metaphor.

Jocks like you tend to find
their identity in teams

because you're completely unremarkable
by yourself.

So, pass.

You're up, Finch,
since Josie won't come out to play.

- She's on her way.
- Too bad.

Time's up. You can take her place.

Josie taught you not to be a lone wolf,

which is really just a cover
for your codependency.

And as for you, MG,
if Salvatore Idol were to be televised,

you'd be canceled before the title card,

so if this was your big idea,
I give it zero stars.

See?

Game over.

Now, where are my weapons?

Wait. Where are you going?

After the Mikaelson g*ng.

You heard what that monster said...
they're bound to have your sister.

Force of habit. (CHUCKLES) My apologies.

What am I supposed to do with this?

Pray that you never need to use it.

What I pray for is to find Josette,
as it seems you do,

but my head is a-cluttered
with questions.

I didn't know that you existed
a moment ago,

much less who my assailant was.

Well, the last part's easy.
It was a vampire.

Well, if vampires are real
and they in fact att*cked the school,

then why doesn't Father remember?

Because becoming one
grants them certain gifts.

They like to use them
to hurt innocent people,

like your father and sister, and my...

my Isobel.

Who was she?

There are things about my past,
it's best you don't know.

But know this...

I will find Josette,
and I will k*ll those bloodsuckers.

This I swear to you.

My father will hang if you do not do so
by noon tomorrow.

I can handle a firearm.
I'm going with you...

Like hell you are.

You're a soft girl raised by a soft man

who loves books more than a fight,

and it suits you, it truly does,

but those bloodsuckers,
they'd eat you alive.

Hyah.

HOPE: I can do this myself.

I have to show you
where the weapons are.

Cleo dropped the illusion spell,

so... all yours.

That's not the only reason
why you're here.

You're hoping to get in one last
heartfelt, emotional plea,

which is technically cheating.

I don't think it would work.

After watching you up there,

I realized something about Jo's story
she was telling us about her mom.

The thing that made Caroline
turn her humanity back on

was that letter she destroyed

because it was something
that she'd never get back.

Something she missed out on.

So, what, you thought that trotting
around the parade of misfit toys

would make me realize
how much I missed them?

This is your home, Hope.

These are the friends

that you have spent years
fighting for and bleeding with,

and they're lost without you.
We all are.

There's a hole in the heart
of this place,

a void where you used to be.

If seeing that
doesn't make you feel anything,

there's nothing I can say that'd matter.

So, if you're really
not coming back, so be it.

I'll just have to fill that void myself.

(SCOFFS)

Pathetic.

- You want to save everybody...
- (BAG ZIPS)

But you're just...

you're incapable of doing
what needs to be done.

What if I don't go?

What if I decide
to go on a k*lling spree?

You're the protector of the school,

so what are you gonna do to stop me?

I'm not fighting you.

Of course not, because you don't know
what it means to be a leader.

It means getting your hands dirty.

It means

putting a blade through the chest
of somebody that you love.

This sword won't even k*ll me,

and you still can't bring yourself
to do it

because you don't have what it takes.

Failed, like everybody else.

Happy trails.

♪ ♪

JOSIE: Is he dead?

Jo? I don't know.

I tried to drink it all,
but his blood was bitter like him.

Josette. What's become of you?

Oh, something wonderful. Thanks to Hope.

Hope Mikaelson is a wretch,
and I came here to rescue you from her.

But I've already been saved,
and I'm gonna save you.

Just close your eyes.
It'll be the best surprise.

I don't want to.

Well, then what you're about to see
is gonna be a little scary,

but don't worry,
my sweet, swooning sister.

You're gonna wake up
and feel so much better.

Your mind will be clear,

and the world will be bright
and bustling all around you,

and we can discover
every inch of it together.

We'll never need to be apart.

(GASPS)

Why did you do that?
Why did you make me go away?

You were already gone.

HOPE: You're too late.

Speech time's over.

FINCH: I'm not here to give a speech.

I don't actually know you that well,


which means I'm seeing things
a little clearer.

What are you gonna do? Dissect me?

I'm gonna do something Josie wouldn't.

Clever, but, you know,
if you're trying to distract me

from your partner
that's sneaking up on me,

you should know I have,
like, really good hearing.

Especially because
you're a mouth breather.

(GRUNTS, COUGHING)

You know,
if you wanted to put me to sleep,

you could've just talked.

(SNARLING)

(GRUNTING)

Okay, which one of you
wants to die first?

JOSIE: Neither of them.

Why don't you pick on someone
your own size?

You. Do your little blinky thing
and get my girlfriend out of here.

The big kids need to chat.

HOPE: What took you so long?
Performance anxiety?

Well, I needed the proper motivation.

Oh, don't tell me
it was what's-her-name being in danger

that brought you out.

You've gone soft.

It's actually exactly what Josie needed
to let me loose.

I'm here to put you down,
minus the boxing ring, of course.

You up for a rematch?

Absolutely. Finally,
someone around here gets it.

I mean, you being here proves my point.

When it's time to fight,
Josie has to rely on her strong half,

the half that's like me.

Oh, I'm not here to fight you.
I'm just here to snap my fingers.

You remember Jade, right?

Former student.
Actually, a lot like you.

Headstrong, moody,
questionable taste in men.

She was so scared of her trauma,
she turned off her humanity,

but I turned it back on.

Just... like... this.

(SNAPS FINGERS)

(TWIG SNAPS)

Hello? Mr. Argus?

(RUNNING FOOTSTEPS)

(GROWLS)

(DISTANT HOWL)

Jed?

Of course that dumbass
found the monster before me.

(LOW GROWL)

LIZZIE: This looks bad.

Now, you never mind that, Elizabeth.

You need to go. Your sister...

Was a vampire.

I know.

Josette won't be coming.

I didn't think you had it in you.

That makes two of us.

I underestimated you.
You're more like me than I realized.

My Isobel, she was turned
into a vampire, too.

So I roamed the plains,
k*lling the monsters in her name.

But your father thought I'd gone mad...

and maybe he was right.

He's a smarter man than I,

so he devoted his life to keeping
you and your sister away from me.

Built you a home and a school.

Someplace far away
from all this v*olence.

(GRUNTS)

But sometimes...
v*olence is the only solution.

My father was wrong.

We need to k*ll Hope Mikaelson.

Well, you're gonna have
to finish this one without me, kid.

But don't worry,
I'm not gonna leave you all alone.

(CHUCKLES)

It's not usually the company
I'm used to keeping.

Who are Stefan and Damon?

There's no time for that story.

What matters most is what's inside them.

Hope Mikaelson is no ordinary vampire,

but nature always finds a loophole.

The b*ll*ts within
will surely k*ll her dead.

What if I'm not as like you
as you think?

HOPE: Bad news.

Your little trick didn't work.

Oh, I figured it wouldn't.
You're basically an Original now,

and even I don't have
that kind of power.

I just wanted to see what would happen
when I snapped my fingers.

See if I could see fear in your eyes.

I did.

I'm not afraid of anything.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Just checking.

Oh, I think it's broken.

JOSIE: But you do know the truth.

You're scared
of your own humanity coming back.

Of feeling what it felt like
when you k*lled Landon.

All that sadness.

Cling to your defense mechanism
all you want,

but when it crumbles...

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

...and it will,

you'll have an even bigger mess
than what you had before.

Lecutio.

Mm.

Even the almighty Tribrid
can't outrun her trauma forever.

Watch me.

KALEB: Stop looking at me like that,
all right?


I already know I'm pretty.

- (SNARLING)
- (GRUNTING)

Dragon skin, bro.

- Oh, damn.
- (SHRIEKING)

Oh!

- (ROARING)
- Uh... uh...

Oh, my God, it got in my mouth.

(ROARS)

Jed, where the hell are you at, man?

(ROARS)

Holy crap. Sorry we're late.

Who's "we"?

Just some buddies I ran into.

(HOWLING)

(GROWLS)

- (WOLVES WHIMPERING)
- Make that "former buddies."

(GRUNTING)

(ARGUS SCREECHES)

I don't think it even felt that.

Then keep hacking till it does.

Screw that, man. It's Dracarys time.

(SCREECHING)

(WHOOPS, LAUGHS)

Badass.

Yeah.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

I take it you're Elizabeth.

And you must be Hope Mikaelson.

You're shorter than I thought.
I dug this grave far too large.

So long as it fits you.

Should we get right to it, then?

My sister's dead because of you,
my uncle's dead because of you,

and my father may yet die
because of you,

so we have nothing to discuss.

You think you're faster than a vampire?

We'll find out when you draw.

Ladies first.

I'm not a lady anymore.

(GROANS)

You have a dark side,
just like your sister.

I could use someone
with that kind of grit.

So it's your choice.

Dead or alive.

I choose...

dead.

(g*ns COCK)

(EXHALES)

I'm a Tribrid. You can't k*ll me.

There's always a loophole.

HOPE: Smart move.

But playing the weak,
defenseless Josie card

isn't gonna work, either.

Today proved to me more than ever
that you're still reachable.

I haven't figured out how yet,
but I will.

I could just k*ll all of you,

and we never have to have
this conversation again.

But you're not going to.
The same reason you didn't k*ll my dad.

And the same reason you left a warning

so that we wouldn't come after you.

You don't want to k*ll us.
And your humanity is in there somewhere.

You're just never gonna stop
trying to reach me, are you?

You never gave up on me.

So, no. I'm not gonna give up on you.

In that case...

Corporis impetus.

I'm just gonna have to figure out
what to do with you.

(WOLVES HOWLING)

JED: Enjoy the barbecued Argus,
you ungrateful cowards.

(KALEB CHUCKLES)

KALEB: Hey, man, I want to thank you
for saving my ass back there.

You're welcome.

But we'd still be fighting that thing
if it weren't for you.

But I know you didn't want
to go full monster like that.

Had to be done.
Hope to never do it again.

Let's focus on burying this body here.

You know, I wasn't always this awesome
at being a werewolf.

- Oh, you don't say?
- I know, right?

But the truth is,

I really hated what I had to do
to activate my curse.

Yeah, you, uh,
you never told me about that.

The details aren't important,
but for years after,

it felt like I was walking around
with a rock in my shoe.

And every day, I'd wake up
and put the same shoes on,

hoping the rock would be gone.

Until I realized

I was the one who put the rock there
in the first place.

So I was the only one
who could pull it out.

So you're saying I need
to change my shoes, huh?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

You need to forgive yourself
for what you did.

'Cause if you don't,
no one else doing it will ever matter.

No matter how sweet those kicks are.

You're all right, Jed.

(RUSTLING)

MG: You have a visitor.

And that visitor brought
the real culprit to justice, so...

you're free to go.

Thanks for the hospitality, Sheriff.

Ma'am.

I found Jo.

Well, where is she?

Oh, dear God.

A bandit by the name
of Hope Mikaelson k*lled her.

And I k*lled Hope Mikaelson in return.

Then we need to catch
the next train back east.

I never wanted this life for you.

I know.

There's no going back
after what I've seen.

Hope's g*ng is still out there.

Elizabeth.

No amount of revenge
is gonna bring your sister back.

It may not bring her back.

But at least she'll have justice
in her name.

I didn't raise you like this.

Perhaps you should have.

_

Because... my father,

my real father
was a vampire hunter once.

And trying to be a teacher
is what put him in a coma.

And none of my friends
are doing anything about it.

All they care about
is finding a way to forgive Hope.

But I don't.

Not anymore.

Vindicta.

Landon told me about the letter he wrote

when we were trapped in the darkness.

I thought if anything
could break through to Hope,

it would be his words, but I was wrong.

Look, the day's not a total wash.

You got an answer
to a different question.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY) You were right.

I was hoping to find a moment
to tell the Squad about the tree,

but I no longer believe
that is a good idea.

Because Headmaster Saltzman was right.

We do stupid things
for the people we love.

If Finch and Ethan had known

of the tree's existence
when they confronted Hope,

today's outcome
would have been even worse.

Well, you know
I'm just your subconscious.

Which means that you were right.
So keep your chin up, Cleo.

You're gonna figure this out.

FINCH: Who are you talking to?

Oh, just myself.

Now please lie back down.

You're lucky to have survived
your encounter with the Tribrid.

What about Jo? Where is she?

ETHAN: You think Josie's okay in here?

MG: Hope could've done
an awful lot worse

than trapping her in a therapy box.

Until we learn
how to override the settings,

it's probably the safest place for her.

But... you almost got yourself
k*lled today, E.

I had to do something.
Other than sit on the sidelines,

which is clearly
where you want to put me.

I mean, I understood that
when I was human, but now?

Having powers
doesn't mean always using them.

And until you can learn that lesson,

I'm sorry, it's just too big a risk.

MG, I came to this school
to be a part of a team.

I don't have to be QB .

Like, I'll carry the damn water bucket
or-or learn whatever you want,

but you got to teach me what that is.

Being a leader
means making tough decisions.

Sometimes that means
benching the star player.

(SCOFFS)

And sometimes it means
taking it upon yourself

to make sure they're ready
for the big game.

How's tomorrow for training?

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

LIZZIE: Josie?

This is awkward.

The exit room's supposed to be empty
whenever you leave therapy.

What are you doing here?

Hope came to the school
while you were gone.

She trapped me in the therapy box.

Of course she did.

She didn't k*ll me.

Don't you get it?
She's not too far gone.

Well, I will be,
as soon as this stupid thing reboots.

But don't worry, Jo.
I know exactly how to fix Hope.

Meaning what?

It's okay, Jo.
Your game's just beginning.

But mine's over, and I won.

♪ Can't hold this back... ♪

WOMAN: Hope Mikaelson.
We have to stop meeting like this.


No, we have to start meeting
so I can k*ll you and the rest of Triad.

Oh, promises, promises.

Which one are you?
Vampire, witch, werewolf?

That would spoil the surprise.

Well, I hope it's better than that trap
you had set up at the facility.

You know I have
the bloodline records now,

so, just a matter of time
before I figure out who you really are.

I can't wait to meet you, Hope.

Promises, promises.
