KlausFine. You might actually be useful in getting Rebekah to cooperate. The Brotherhood of the Five was a group of highly skilled vampire hunters. We crossed paths with them in the 12th century Italy. (Flashback to 1114, voice over) My siblings and I had followed the Normans as they conquered the south. Eating, turning people as we went.
AAlexander
(one of the Five) These, demons live among you. Passing as human.
Klaus
(still a voice over) But with the bloodshed came exposure.
AAlexander
So witness with your own eyes... (opens a metal box to reveal a vampire, who walks into the sunlight and bursts into flames)
He's putting on quite a show.
Klaus
He's nothing. I could eat him for sport.
Still you should heed the warning. Between you here and Kol in the east, you have not been discrete. Stories of the original vampires is spreading.
Klaus
I welcome the infamy. But if you're worried about discretion, perhaps you should wrangle our sister. (pan to Rebekah, flirting with Alexander)
(back to modern day) So these hunters have been around for 900 years?
Klaus
Apparently. Although our friend in the other room (Conner) is the first I've seen since then. Kind of makes you wonder what they'd been up to all these years.
And Rebekah had a thing with one of them?
Klaus
Oh, she didn't just have a thing. She fell in love with him. He told her all his secrets, which I will gladly share with you, provided you do one thing for me.
Klaus
Get Rebekah over here. She's being stubborn and hateful. I-- I need to make peace with her. I want her to give me some very important information about the hunter that she won't do unless we've made up.
Klaus
Just get her here and I'll tell you. Oh, and Stefan, trust me when I say this. That hunter in there holds the answers to all your prayers.
Klaus
Ah, yes, for the love of Elena. How is it that she manages to overlook every horrific thing you've ever done? Is it willful ignorance or perhaps something more pathological?
Some people are just more capable of forgiveness than others. Bet you score about a negative 500 in that realm.
Klaus
Come on. There must be a secret. It can't just be the sire bond. What is it? Compulsion? Manipulation? What is it you say to her?
I think this has something to do with a certain blond vampire. I think you murdered Carol Lockwood, and I think you're worried that Caroline's never going to forgive you.
Klaus
You've done worse.
Debatable. See, I don't mind being the bad guy, because somebody has to fill that role and get things done. You do bad things for no reason. You do them to be a dick.
Klaus
Debatable.
If you're going to be bad, be bad with purpose. Otherwise you're just not worth forgiving.
[Elena tries to pull out the stair post from her abdomen, but is unsuccessful. Elena presses her hand against the wall and pulls her body off the stair post. In the kitchen, Kol has strapped Jeremy's arms to the counter. As Jeremy struggles against his bonds, Kol pulls out a cleaver.]
[To Jeremy] Now, like I said, I don't fancy the Hunter's Curse, so I'm just gonna chop off your arm. But don't worry, I'll heal you right up with a bit of blood after. [Holds Jeremy's head against the counter] Sorry about the sting. Now, which arm is it? Is it left or right? I'll just chop off both to be safe.
[As Kol gets ready to use the cleaver to chop off Jeremy's arms, Elena vamp-speeds towards Kol, grabs his arm, and uses the cleaver he is holding to cut off one of her brother's bonds. Elena plunges the cleaver into Kol's chest. As Elena shoves Kol against the counter, Jeremy frees his other arm and runs over to the sink. He grabs the spray hose and uses it to spray vervain water at Kol while Elena moves out of the way. Kol starts screaming in pain. As Jeremy continues spraying vervain water at Kol, Elena pulls out the White Oak Stake from Kol's jacket.]
Jeremy, now! [Tosses her brother the White Oak Stake]
[Jeremy catches the White Oak Stake and plunges it into Kol's chest. As Kol starts screaming in pain, his body bursts into flames. As Kol continues screaming in pain, he staggers through the kitchen and falls down to the floor, dead. Jeremy watches Kol's body burn, then he and Elena turn to see Klaus standing at the open doorway, watching Kol's body burn.]
Klaus
[To Elena and Jeremy] What did you do?
[To Klaus] We didn't have a choice. He was trying to cut off Jeremy's arm.
Klaus
Lies. He never would've gotten inside if you hadn't have set a trap for him.
You said you were gonna put him down too.
Klaus
[Ferociously and savagely] I was gonna make him suffer ON MY TERMS! I'm gonna burn this house to the ground. And then, when you try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you both without blinking.
[To Klaus] You kill us, you'll never get to the cure. You'll never be able to make any more hybrids.
Klaus
You really think I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids? I want the cure so I can destroy it. I would've killed you all the second we dug it up, but now I'm just gonna watch you burn instead.
[Klaus screams in pain, falling to his knees. Bonnie appears and walks past him.]
[To Elena and Jeremy] Invite him in. [Elena and Jeremy just stare at her] Do it!
[Klaus gets up. Jeremy looks at Klaus, then at Elena, and then back at Klaus.]
[Bonnie magically pulls Klaus inside the house. Klaus falls forward.]
[To Elena and Jeremy] Living room! Go!
[Elena and Jeremy run through the living room and the kitchen. Klaus tries to follow them into the kitchen, but is stopped by a barrier Bonnie put up. Klaus starts pounding against the barrier repeatedly. As Klaus continues pounding against the barrier, Jeremy pulls out the White Oak Stake from Kol's chest and runs to the door along with his sister. Klaus tries to follow them, but Bonnie stands in front of him.]
Klaus
[To Bonnie] Witch. You can't do this to me.
You have no idea what I can do now.
Klaus
[To Elena, Bonnie, and Jeremy] I will hunt all of you to your END! DO YOU HEAR ME?! DO YOU?!
[Elena, Bonnie, and Jeremy depart the house. Jeremy closes the door behind him. Klaus tries to run after them, but is stopped by the barrier.]
[Gilbert House: Klaus is staring at Kol's burnt corpse when Tyler enters through the front door.]
[To Klaus] [Snarky] Morning, sunshine. You look pathetic.
Klaus
Only until Bonnie's spell locking me in here wears off. Then I'll look different. Angrier, perhaps. Or I won't look like anything, 'cause I'll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets.
My friends will be back with the cure by then, so I could shove it down your throat and make you mortal.
Klaus
I'm an Original. What makes you think my entire vampire bloodline won't be cured along with me? I.e., you.
You know what I think? I think that's impossible. I think the moment you stop being a vampire, our whole blood connection to you is broken, and your sire-line ceases to exist. So whatever happens to you happens only to you, which means I can kill your ass and no one else has to die. Although I am still debating just how to do it.
Klaus
[Vamp-speeds in front of Tyler] I recommend drowning. There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as human breath. And let me tell you, your mother was a fighter.
