04x11 - A Spirit Here That Won't Be Broken

[bunniefuu]

Previously on The Originals...

INADU: You will give me a safe place to hide. When you die, so too does your entire sire line.

The great sacrifice, which will return me to flesh and blood.

FREYA: If Elijah is going to die one way or another, then I can try placing his soul inside the pendant.

Get Elijah into the pendant!

- [yells]

- Hurry, she's k*lling him!

FREYA: Animam suam.

I can feel him!

[urgent chanting]

She's taken Elijah's power.

The Hollow will be reborn.

My brother's soul is in that pendant.

We need to bring him back.

His original body is where he belongs.

And now that his mind is stable within the pendant, I can bring him back, I just... need a large enough sacrifice.

You're thinking what I'm thinking.

k*ll the Hollow, save our brother.

Do me a favor and watch yourself.

What if I told you I could bring Davina back to life?

- Are you really back?

- Yes.

She and I are now linked.

So, if you want to keep her safe, then you belong to me.

Davina?

DAVINA: I'm right here.

[sighs]

Oh, for a moment, I thought...

It's okay.

I'm still me.

Flesh and blood, alive, for now.

And linked to that monster. I promise, I'm gonna find a way out of this for you.

She was powerful enough to bring me back from the dead.

Kol, you have no idea what we're up against.

Hasn't stopped me before.

Stay here.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Wait, you're leaving?

Kol, we might not have much time together.

Losing you broke me.

I will not stand around and let it happen again.

The Hollow has to be k*lled.

And if she dies, then I die.

And what's the alternative, you help her?

You can't betray your family.

That's kind of my specialty.

Stay here.

Are you going somewhere, Kol?

I asked for some time alone with her before you use me to do your dirty work.

You have been dead , years, surely you can spare an hour.

Every second counts if you want Davina to continue breathing.

What is it that you need, then?

Am I to handle your errands?

Or your laundry?

It's actually quite simple.

I have long wanted to be mortal, but now that I am alive, I can die.

In fact, your own family is relentless in their quest to k*ll me.

Look, if you want me to put in a good word, that ship has sailed, darling.

I have my own protection spell, cast in the form of a totem.

You will safeguard my totem, until I'm done with your family.

If you falter, if any harm comes my way, Davina will suffer with me.

The Hollow, she's getting stronger.

You can sense her?

When we first got here, there was always music outside, people dancing, laughing.

But since she came back, it's so quiet.

Like she's draining everything out of the city.

She already took Uncle Elijah.

And soon she will come for the rest of us.

Listen, Hope, I know you're scared.

But over the years, a lot of bad people have stood against our family, and all of them have fallen.

The Hollow is no different.

No, she is different.

[crackling]

[crackling]

[crackling]

FREYA: Despite the spell I cast, the very integrity of the pendant is growing unstable.

It won't be able to hold Elijah's soul much longer.

We need to find a way to resurrect him tonight, or we could lose him forever.

To do that, we'll need more power.

Let me guess, a grand sacrifice.

I say we k*ll our enemy and sacrifice her, then I can channel the power from the Hollow's death, raise Elijah's body, and place him back where he belongs.

- We've tried everything.

- And we've come close.

Labonair blood is her Achilles' heel.

Hayley, your blood weakened her, but you've technically been dead for years.

So it won't be strong enough to k*ll her.

If we forge a blade using the blood of the last living Labonair...

We don't want Hope involved.

FREYA: She's already involved.

Hope has been obsessed with the symbol that follows the Hollow: the serpent consuming itself.

Now, I believe this is showing us the key, the only means to which she can be destroyed, her own blood.

The Hollow's one end of the Labonair bloodline.

Hope is the other. And we need to close that loop.

The best way to do that is for Hayley to wield a w*apon forged with Hope's blood.

When she stabs her, it's only then the Hollow can be obliterated completely.

Then we make it work. I'll talk to Hope.

Well, hey there.

Uh, it's me again.

Hope, uh, all is well where you are.

You know, I really would love to talk to you about a few... hundred things.

Like how Eddie uses this weird baby voice anytime he says "hi" to a random dog.

I don't know, might be a deal breaker.

[chuckles]

Or how I finally watched Practical Magic.

And you were right.

Perfect movie.

Or, you know...

how freakin' much I still miss you.

I miss her, too.

Hey.

Next time, we should carpool.

Actually, I'm looking for Vincent.

He said he'd find a cure for Sofya, but he's been M.I.A.

Have you seen him?

No.

What, you want some help finding him?

No.

No, but if you see him, why don't you call me.

FREYA: Dauha naer do smrti.

Dauha naer do smrti.

Dauha naer do smrti.

That's a rather odd locator spell.

I'm trying to trace the Hollow's magic.

Almost have it.

[sizzling]

She's in the Garden District.

That's the LaForge House.

At one time, it was the center of high society, but that all changed when Dr. LaForge tortured and k*lled his friends and family.

Claimed until his dying day that an evil spirit made him do it.

That house has been derelict since.

The perfect lair for someone who relishes tragedy.

[sizzling continues]

REBEKAH: What's that?

If the serpent at the LaForge House represents the Hollow herself, then this must be some sort of totem she's using to magnify her power and protect herself.

Dahlia used to use these when she was up to something particularly awful.

It will render the Hollow unkillable.

We will have to destroy it before we can face her.

Lovely.

I could do with some fresh air.

And some fresh blood.

Take the map.

It's been spelled to track the totem.

Don't go alone.

One step ahead of you, sis.

KOL: Hey, Bex.

What's up?

Someone's floating around with a trinket that's fueling our enemy's power.

What say you help me track down and exterminate this scoundrel?

I'd like nothing better.

Perfect.

[birds chirping]

♪ ♪

You're not seriously going in there alone, are you?

Why not?

As far as threats go, the only person with the means to k*ll me is lurking right out here.

I'm not a thr*at to you, the Hollow, on the other hand, is.

The Hollow's got some acolyte protecting a totem that magnifies her power, making her unkillable.

Trouble is, we have to end this tonight.

Hayley's got the means.

I just need to make sure she's vulnerable.

Kol's coming to watch my back, so you can just scamper off.

What kind of gentlemen would I be if I didn't offer to escort you?

You're the king of this city.

Can't you condemn this dump?

How about we skip the criticism and just focus on what we're looking for?

KOL: Totem's not here.

I scoured the house.

There's no sign of it.

You were supposed to wait for me.

Well, I got bored.

And it looks like you got accosted by the local riffraff.

Oh, you got a problem?

Get over yourselves. All right?

The map says that the totem is still here, so it must be hidden somewhere in this hovel.

Look, if you don't trust me, help yourself. Come on in.

[barrier hums]

What...

What the hell, Kol?

A dark object? Really?

Kol, you better undo this right now.

I'm sorry, Rebekah.

I truly am.

Why are you helping her?

What has she done to you?

I don't want to.

Are you scared it's gonna hurt?

I'm scared if I do this, you're gonna pick a fight.

And the Hollow, she can hurt you.

I know you're scared.

I wish we didn't have to have this conversation.

When I was your age, I had to deal with a lot of things that I didn't want to deal with either.

I didn't want that for you, but here we are.

The thing is, sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do because you're the only one that can do them.

Like you.

Like me.

Okay.

[sighs softly]

Rebekah's not answering.

Neither is Kol.

The sooner we end this the better.

No. We have to assume that Inadu's totem is still intact.

We cannot att*ck her until we destroy it.

Go after Rebekah, find the totem.

I'm not leaving Hayley alone.

We're out of time.

The cracks are getting worse.

I need you to destroy the totem.

I'll go with Hayley.

And what about Hope?

Compel her a nanny.

We don't have another choice.

You're the best advantage we got.

Be fast, be brutal, destroy the totem, or we're dead.

Here. For you and Hayley tonight.

Anoint these with a drop of Hope's blood.

They'll serve you well.

You should destroy this.

Hayley could die.

And why is her life more important than yours?

I can't take a little girl's mother away from her, Kol.

All right, then we just have to find another way to get you out of this.

Because there is no way I'm letting you go.

I've been thinking, Elijah once gave me one of your mother's spells.

It used to break a magical link.

I'm too weak right now, but if we could find a coven to counter Inadu's spell, then...

No, I know the spell.

And we don't need a coven, we just need one powerful little witch.

[keys jingle]

I have a car in the lot out back.

If I'm not back by midnight, you take it and you go.

Wait, without you? What...

Are you kidding? What are you doing?

Davina, I'm not asking.

I need you to do this.

Promise me.

Yeah.

I sealed these with Hope's blood.

One for each of us.

Once the totem is destroyed, we can sacrifice the Hollow.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

[chuckles softly]

I never thought twice about fighting or dying for family before.

But now, with Keelin... Now you have someone you're afraid you're not gonna make it home to.

You will make it home, Freya.

I got your back.

Hayley.

I know we haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but... well, I suppose family rarely does.

You've been through hell.

So your mind took you somewhere peaceful, Honestly, I'm flattered you thought of me.

Figured your happy place would be somewhere with Elijah.

So... if I'm unconscious, then I need to wake up.

I know.

I know. I'm on your side.

We'll get you back in the fight, before the Hollow finishes whatever she started.

Hey, buddy.

Are my mom and dad back?

Not quite.

Hey, you know what I used to do, when I was bored at your age?

Magic.

I'm not supposed to do magic with strangers.

What?

I-I'm family.

So why did you go away?

I went away because I was sad.

And I thought I'd never be happy again.

And I didn't want to make everybody that I loved around me sad, too.

No. More wolfsbane.

Apologies.

I can't be expected to remember the names of wanton trollops.

Listen, I'm gonna ask you nicely to shut the hell up about her.

You know what?

Why don't we just burn the house down?

Oh, don't be so dramatic.

Dramatic?

I'm not running late for a manicure, Marcel.

Time is running out to resurrect Elijah, Hayley's on a su1c1de mission, and I can't lose anyone else I love.

I have reached my quota of heartbreak for the year.

Rebekah...

How ironic.

Two of the world's most powerful beings trapped in a magical butterfly net.

Tell me you weren't overwhelmed by some brain-dead witch.

No, our biggest mistake was trusting Kol for one second of his life.

- What?

Kol is protecting the totem for the Hollow.

Who knows why, or what she offered him.

I don't care what she offered him. Where is he?

He's at the compound.

Go.

I need to snap out of this.

If I don't, we could lose Elijah forever.

Is he good to you?

Hey, talk to me.

It ain't gonna k*ll me.

He has been good to me.

But when I fell for him, I was scared of Klaus, of...

being a mom, and he made me feel safe.

But now, I...

Well, if you wanted safety, you would've loved me.

I chose you. I married you.

But you were in love with him.

[scoffs]

I mean, it's an old, sad story.

The monsters treated you like crap, turned you into a girl who loves monsters.

Suppose your girlfriend won't be happy that you spent the entire day with me.

Sofya hasn't woken since the Hollow invaded her mind.

You could at least feign sympathy.

Why? She sh*t me.

Multiple times.

Is that really the reason why you hate her so much?

[chuckles]

Okay.

What the hell are you doing?

The main gas line's got to be down here.

At least it'll help torch the place faster, unless you prefer a slow burn.

Thought you wanted to wait it out.

Do you?

If I untie this knot... your girlfriend will be free from the Hollow?

I hope so.

Yes.

Kind of like your mom loves, uh...
