03x11 - Wild at Heart

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "The Originals"...

Till death do us part.

She admitted it herself. Davina Claire is a m*rder*r.

k*ll a witch, you lose your place among the witches.

For what you've done, you need to be shunned.

Oh...

(Gasps)

I hope you don't mind.

I helped myself to the Mikaelson family blood stash.

How do you feel?

Amazing.

The Serratura creates an impenetrable boundary.

Nothing living or dead can pass through.

May the ghosts of our fallen keep you company.

Tristan: Aya. Aya!

Tristan de Martel guided this organization for centuries.

He was a radical thinker, a decisive leader, and to each of us here tonight, both mentor and friend.

He was, in a word, irreplaceable.

To Tristan de Martel.

(Clink)

Aya: Though we grieve his loss, I will not allow that defeat to hamper our cause.

We will stand united in the face of this tragedy of singular mind and of singular heart.

To that end, I've asked our witch Ariane to conduct an assessment.

(Heartbeat)

Tell me, Ariane, when you looked into their hearts, what did you see?

Was it loyalty or something else?

Before each of you lies a card, a divination of your truest self.

If your intentions are pure, you should not fear what it shows.

A loyal knight.

I owe no allegiance to you.

Uh!

(Thud)

I will not tolerate anyone conspiring to use our present circumstances as an opportunity for a power grab.

And you, marcel Gerard, do you seek to betray me for power, as well?

I'm hurt that you even have to ask.

These are uncertain times.

We need to be certain of each other.

Despite what Elijah Mikaelson may have us believe, the prophesy of his demise is all too real, and a thr*at to our sire is a thr*at against us.

I, for one, am committed to ensuring our continued survival...

By whatever means necessary.

Davina: Hi. Do you have any angelica flower?

Ok. I know I've been shunned, but you can at least look at me.

Hello. I'm in the market for some angelica.

Perhaps you've heard of it. No?

Ok. Follow-up question... Do you happen to have any kind of comment box or complaint hotline?

Because I got a few thoughts on your customer service that, trust me, you do not want to end up on yelp.

Josh, let's just go.

Ok. Fine, but you know what? I'm taking these.

Where the bloody hell is she?

I assume we are talking about Camille.

Just refresh my memory, Niklaus.

Was I the one who impulsively handed her a daylight ring?

Oh, no. That's right. It was you.

She left, didn't she?

Shocking turn of events.

Yes, so why don't you go and find her?

I shall deal with the growing nightmare of our family's potential extinction.

Yes, always the diligent defender, despite the fact the thr*at has somewhat subsided, what with Tristan de Martel now literally sleeping with the fishes.

A darker thr*at remains.

Now something out there is capable of k*lling us.

We should probably find it.

I'd love to.

However, I got Camille into this mess.

She left around sunrise.

My guess is that she needed some air.

I couldn't sleep.

I saw her leave from my balcony.

So, um, I was wondering, if maybe it was ok if Hope and I stay here for a few days.

Of course you may.

(Cell phone vibrates)

Forgive me.

Hayley, this family comes with many, many hardships, but there is at least one benefit.

You will always have a home here.

(Hope fusses)

I sincerely Hope you're calling from somewhere far, far away.

Aya: I think we both know I won't leave until this prophesy is averted.

Somewhere out there is an elusive w*apon capable of k*lling an Original.

I'm calling to suggest we pool our efforts to find it.

I don't play well with others.

Lucien's witch Alexis left her clues in a rather cryptic puzzle.

What if I told you I had the means to put it together?

Josh: Davina, I called, like, a billion times.

It's kind of enough to make a guy feel...

I don't know... shunned or something.

Sorry. Too soon?

Josh, I'm sorry I haven't called you back.

It's just things have been really...

Really, yeah, awful. No kidding.

The thing is, this is kind of the whole reason you have friends, so you don't have to do the terrible parts alone.

Whoa. Hey, should I be worried or, like, really excited right now?

Hello, Joshua.

Ms. Claire, I assume you know who I am.

I suggest you get in. We've much to discuss.

I'll call you later, I promise.

Cami?

Damn, girl, you look amazing.

You know, I feel amazing.

Hey, 4 Tequila sh*ts stat, and don't be afraid to move that sweet ass.

Real nice.

She works hard, you know.

Oh, yeah?

How about you, gorgeous? You work hard, too?

Sure. As a matter of fact, right now, it's hard work resisting the urge to rip your throat out with my teeth.

Heh. You're gonna find an ATM, and you're going to max out your daily limit and leave that nice, underpaid bartender the biggest tip she's ever seen.

Then you're gonna meet me in the alley out back so we can have some real fun, and turn your hat around.

You're an adult.

McKeown: ♪ before she steals yours, too... ♪

These are for you from the guy at the end of the bar.

He was pretty insistent.

McKeown: ♪ I won't be made a fool ♪

As you know from your own experience, any vampire who seeks true power will inevitably require the aid of a witch.

We Strix are no exception.

However, I have found that witches for hire can only be trusted so far, and so... meet the Sisters, wayward souls with an extraordinary capacity for magic.

Of course, when I found them, they were nothing but orphans and outcasts belonging nowhere and with no one until they found a home here with us.

So the Strix have their own personal coven.

Think of them as consultants held on retainer.

If your 9 covens are a burning candle, what you see before you is a 5 alarm fire.

In fact, they are the only coven in the world capable of casting this...

The spell to raise the dead.

How did you know?

About your dogged desire to bring back Kol Mikaelson?

That's what they're for.

The Sisters search the unknown and reveal to me anything that may be of use, for instance, the leverage I need to make you my ally.

What do you want from me?

I'll make certain you're granted the power to bring back your precious Kol.

In exchange, you will take a vow of fealty and become one of my Sisters.

It's all rather straightforward, I assure you.

Each of them faced a similar choice.

That which you most wish for is within your grasp.

The question is, are you willing to pay the price?

(Black p*stol Fire playing "Show Pony")

Cami: Thank you for the drink.

Well, you seemed rather thirsty.

Mm.

You would've torn him apart whether you meant to or not, probably doing the world a favor in the process, but...

I'm a vampire now, Klaus.

Isn't that what we do?

We hunt. We feed. We k*ll.

We might want to keep our voices down just a little bit.

Why? Can't we just compel anyone to do anything we want?

Isn't that what you do all the time?

What I do and what you do are not the same thing.

Now, I know our little chats may have you feeling like you're quite the expert, but you're not equipped to live in this world.

McKeown: ♪ Tried a little peace and loving... ♪

Maybe you're right.

My emotions are all over the place.

I feel like someone turned up the volume on my life and I can't hear myself think, and everything feels so good, but it's all happening all at once.

So let me help you, and I promise you will live a life others only dream of.

Besides, if you're gonna learn, you may as well learn from the best.

McKeown: ♪ Show pony, I can be your golden boy ♪

So it's really just a simple suspension spell.

The poison stops my heart, and the spell keep me from dying for good.

Cool. Yeah. Now I'm totally on board, uh, just except for the part about the poison, your heart, and whatever you said at the end there about dying.

Josh, the witches won't even look at me, let alone help me.

If I'm gonna find out if that spell really works, I need to go to the only witch I trust, and that would be Kol.

Hmm, your dead boyfriend who currently resides in spooky witch purgatory along with all the other dead spirits who shunned you.

Sure. What could possibly go wrong?

Relax. I'm just gonna pop over and pop back. Easy.

All I need to do is channel your power.

No. Uh, uh. No, no, no.

You see this foot, Davina?

This is me putting it down for once, ok, for your own good.

Oh...Easy.

Oy.

Uh, and you already took the poison, didn't you?

Uh...

Huh. Ok. For the record, if you looked up "uncool" in the dictionary, there would just be a tiny, little drawing of what's happening right now.

What do I need to do?

Whatever happens, don't let go, ok?

You're my link to the living.

Josh?

We've searched for a seer for decades.

Ultimately, we made a rather startling discovery.

Ariane, come forward, please.

This is your secret w*apon?

She's untrained, of course, but she's shown a spark of talent which, in itself, is unbelievably rare.

And what do you want from me?

Witches like Ariane spend years absorbing all manner of information.

They see patterns in the chaos in part because they view history as a whole.

Sadly, we don't have that kind of time.

Water will act as a conductor, allowing me to enter your mind to know everything you know to see and understand everything that you've learned in a thousand years.

Think of it as a crash course into your mind, garnering just enough information to answer the only question that matters.

What do you want to take, your little knight?

What about horsey?

Bunny it is. Let's go.

(Wind whistling)

Ah!

Stop it! Let go of me!

Easy now. Easy now. Don't take off my head.

Kol?

Come on. You don't recognize this roguish grin?

I guess my true face is just too handsome.

Heh. You certainly sound like Kol Mikaelson.

Oh, Davina Claire...

Oh, you are a sight for bleary and battered eyes.

You're also stark raving mad.

Oh, do you have any idea what would happen if the ancestors found you here?

(Buzzing)

Come on. We can't stay here.

Waah! Aagh!

(Both gasp)

Did you see it, the w*apon?

All you family has endured, and yet the worst is still to come.

An unending darkness lies before you, a lone figure...

A pale horse, a flame that will burn you all.

(Pants)

Don't move and don't make a sound.

No one can help you. Do you understand?

Young, healthy, a tad unsophisticated, but not bad.

Listen to the heartbeat.

It will tell you when to stop.

Cami.

Camille.

Enough!

I'm sorry.

Are you, of all people, offering me a lesson in restraint?

(Chuckles)

Leave now.

Forget my face and that of my mouthy, blond friend.

Oh...

We should go. You're not yourself.

I am myself, and I'm not finished, and, by the way, I resent the critique.

I spent the last two years listening to every malicious thing you've ever done.

How many hundreds of people have you k*lled, Klaus?

Actually, I measure the number in the hundreds of thousands, leaving me no Hope of absolution.

It's not a fate I wish for you.

You don't get it.

I've always tried to get you to be something else, something more human, and I was wrong.

You are exactly what you're meant to be, and now I'm just like you.

You're still learning what you are.

This...

It's not you, Camille.

You're right.

(cr*ck)

It's better.

(Saxophone playing)

Thank you.

Ah! I'm sorry. I am such a klutz.

No. No. It's fine.

Cami, it's really great to see you.

How... how are things?

You know, same old same old. You?

Can't complain, back on the job, which I have the strangest feeling is somehow thanks to you.

You're a good cop, Will.

Clearly, I'm not the only one who knows it.

Ok. Ha! Full disclosure...

This wasn't a total accident.

I need a favor. Do you have a second?

Yeah. Yeah. Want to take a walk?

Are you gonna tell me what's going on?

Bottom line, you don't belong here.

Luckily, the ancestors aren't big pub goers, more of the graveyard and goat sacrifice types.

We should be all right here till we can figure out how to get you back.

I see.

You preferred the other look more.

No. I'm... I'm sorry. It's not that.

I know it's you.

It's just, you're so different.

I'm still adjusting, not to mention we're in a freaky ghost land, so...

I have an idea. Close your eyes.

(Billie's Holiday's "More than you know" playing)

Think back to the last night we were together, our last dance.

Holiday: ♪ More than you know ♪
♪ Man of my heart, I love you so ♪
♪ Lately I find ♪
♪ You on my mind more than you know ♪

God, I missed you, and for the record, I like this face just fine.

Really?

Mm.

Kol. What's happening to you here?

It's nothing, really.

You shouldn't have come here, Davina.

There's a darkness to this place.

Kol, I had to find you.

I think I found a way to bring you back.

It was under the floorboards, like you said.

What is all this, anyway?

Oh, you know how it is. Things go wrong with a guy, and he still has a bunch of your stuff.

Oh, these are gonna come in really handy.

Why am I doing everything you say?

This is crazy... breaking and entering, grand larceny.

You're doing it because I asked you so nicely.

But why...

Because I can't go in myself.

But why are you doing this?

Because I have been the victim in someone else's story one too many times.

I want back what's mine, and now I have the power to take it.

I admit, even given your new outlook on life, I'm surprised at your willingness to compel, past protestations of free will and all that.

What can I say? I've changed.

You're a fast learner, Camille...

I'll give you that... But don't push it.

Sorry to break it to you, luv.

It's a fake.

Looks like someone's trying to put one over on you.

You're lying. Why? Don't you get it?

You can live again. Isn't that what you want?

More than anything, Davina Claire, but do you have any idea how dangerous that spell is?

I haven't seen anything even remotely like it since... the Strix coven.

This is their work, isn't it?

Please tell me you haven't done something foolish.

They can give me power, Kol, real power.

I can bring you back.

Find another way, luv, not with them.

Nothing is worth what they'll make you do.

The ancestors, they're close.

(Buzzing)

(Radio switching frequencies)

(Click)

(Whispering)

Go! Go! Walk in the bar!

(Door opens)

(Whispering continues)

(Exhales)

(Exhales)

You have no right.

Those dark objects are my family's legacy.

Well, that's funny because I seem to remember my brother Kol making them, so perhaps they've been my family's legacy all along.

Give them back, or I will take them back, and I swear you will regret this moment.

The only thing I regret is failing to realize how far you've spun out of control, and you can forget about leaving.

She was right, wasn't she, Aurora?

She did this to turn you against me, to rob me of the one advantage I have over her... my humanity, and me like this, it's a problem for you, isn't it, not the darkness, that you find intriguing, the fact that I am out of control.

I'm out of your control, and you hate it, don't you?

You have spent 10 centuries getting the entire world to tremble at your name when really, you are the one who's terrified, Klaus.

You are a scared, little kid convinced he'll be tossed aside the second he isn't needed.

Ha! Let go of me.

You can't just force her to stay here, Klaus.

Finally, someone who's on my side.

Oh, don't get me wrong.

I remember when I turned, and you, for sure, shouldn't have a box of witch crap right now, but you can't hold her hostage, either.

Let me talk to her.

I hardly thing now is the time for a women's empowerment meeting.

She d*ed, Klaus, because she got caught up in the Mikaelson world just like me, just like Jackson, so, yeah, she and I have ‭a few things to talk about.

Elijah: Niklaus...

A word.

Now, where did you cross over?

The church... Saint Anne's.

All right. You keep going, no matter what happens.

If I fall behind, don't look back.

Hello, Davina.

Elijah: I thought the pale horse might be something biblical or even tied to one of the equestrian constellations.

There's Pegasus, perhaps even Equuleus.

Neither of those sounds like a w*apon unless they plan to bore us to death.

You know, it would be nice if, just once, the witches bloody well said what they mean.

Camille has just turned, Niklaus.

Leave her be.

You think I should abandon her, then?

She's already served as a pawn in Aurora's games.

Her distance would be a mercy.

I need you. A storm is coming.

Look. I know it may not seem like it right now, but what you're going through, it does get better, and there are people around you that are willing to get you to that part.

Cami.

Yes. That's very sweet, Hayley, and I think you should take your own advice.

I mean, that is why you wanted to speak to me, right, to get some words of wisdom from the Mikaelson family therapist?

I say admit it.

It's not grief. It's relief.

What did you just say?

Oh, come on. It's just us girls.

You don't have to deny it. It's obvious.

You're in love with Elijah, and now that Jackson's gone, you're free.

It must be nice, like a weight lifted.

Hmm.

(Exhales)

You're going through a really hard time right now, Cami, but you are never ever to speak to me of my husband again.

Do you understand me?

I...

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Why would I say that?

You're manic. It's part of it.

(Sighs)

I think I wanted to make you feel pain like I do, and so I said an evil, unfair thing, an untrue thing, Hayley.

Forget it. You're not you.

I thought I could handle this.

You can. You will.

You just need time.

I think maybe I should go home.

(Inhales)

(Exhales)

Kara: No one can help you now, certainly not the spirit of a dead vampire.

All right. ‭That's about enough out of you.

Kol!

Aah!

(Panting)

Nngh...

(Gagging)

Kara: Now I'm gonna make you suffer the way you made me suffer.

Leave...

Uh!

Now.

Uh...

I can help you cross back, but we have to go now.

Where is Camille?

She went home.

She needed some time, and, yes, I let her go.

I know you think you're helping, but all you're doing is pissing her off, and that's the last thing that she needs, trust me.

I really don't think th...

Listen, Klaus.

The Cami that you knew is gone, and whoever she's gonna be is something that she has to figure out by herself.

I just wanted to keep her safe.

Yeah? Well, guess what.

The people you think you're keeping safe...

Elijah, Rebekah, even Hope... sometimes you do them more harm than good.

What?

What you just said, keeping Rebekah safe.

I know what the w*apon is. I made it myself.

(Crackling)

Go. I'll handle them, at least buy you a minute or two.

(Slamming)

No. We're not leaving without him.

He can't come where we're going, not yet.

If we leave now, we can come back.

No. No.

If you don't go now, we're both lost.

Besides, this way, you owe me one, and don't think for a second I won't aim to collect.

Go. Go!

(Slamming continues)

All right. Let's see what you've got.

It's too late. My link to Josh is broken.

(Rattling)

I know you're scared, but you have to concentrate.

Focus on what you love most.

Recall the thing that makes you want to live.

Fight with that in mind.

Kol, I swear I'll come back for you.

(Rattling continues)

All of my efforts to protect and provide comfort for my family...

Klaus, you're not making any sense.

The pale horse, it isn't a constellation, nor is is a biblical verse.

It's a... a trinket I made when we were children, a toy carved from kindling which I gave to Rebekah in the hopes of easing her fears.

I collected the firewood myself.

It was fallen branches from everywhere, and...

The horse was made of the white oak.

That w*apon is here.

Josh, you awake?

It's both the blessing and curse of his kind.

Why did you help me?

Because Aya wanted you saved.

Wait.

Aya said that the witches of your coven were granted the power to have your greatest heart's desire.

Did you make that deal?

Yes, and I will answer your real question, as well.

It was worth it.

Brandon Flowers: ♪ Every foolish dream ♪
♪ And every compromise... ♪

This doesn't make any sense.

It was here. I saw it.

Flowers: ‭♪ Everything you said... ♪

When?

This afternoon, I swear.

Oh, I believe you.

We're just here a little too late.

And Rebekah was so afraid of the coming storm, I told her the brave knight would protect her.

Look, Cami. I know it may not feel like it right now, but what you're going through...

Elijah: I thought the pale horse might be something biblical or even tied to one of the equestrian constellations, perhaps even Equuleus.

Klaus: Neither of those sounds like a w*apon.

There is only one other person capable of deciphering the witch's riddle, the very person with whom I shared my memories of that night... my trusted therapist.

Flowers: ♪ Nothing I can do now ♪
♪ Up above the world so high ♪

Josh: You, uh... You drink now?

Um, I guess getting shunned is a slippery slope.

Josh, I know I didn't give you much of a choice today...

Any choice, just to be clear.

But thank you.

You've always been there for me, and sometimes I forget just how much that means.

Yep. You know, when Aiden d*ed, there were days when I would sit in Jackson Square just daring myself to take this ring off, to give up, and I think part of me knew that I was never gonna be that happy ever again.

If there was any way to bring Aiden back, I would, no matter what.

(Sighs)

If there's even chance for you to be with the guy you want to be with...

You got to do it.

(Cell phone rings)

Cami: I'm guessing you might be a little bit mad right now, but, trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

I just want back what's mine, starting with my dark objects, and I figured I needed to get your attention.

So do I have it?

In point of fact, you do.

Good. Then we'll be in touch.

(Engine starts)

You found it...

Which means you've come to k*ll me.

We both know I have no more answers to give you, and you cannot allow me to live with what I've seen...

The things you keep hidden.

I am released.

(Gasps)

I haven't seen you around in a bit.

Ah, seems like we've both been busy.

So what you been up to?

Been doing a lot of thinking about what's important... friends.

Friends are important, which is why I wanted to talk to you... about the Strix... and what we're gonna do about the fact that Davina just became one of their witches.
