[Gilbert House: Tyler sits Caroline down on the sofa.]
[To Tyler] Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
TylerHey. Hey, look at me. Look at me. I can fix this.
How? The only thing that can heal me is his blood. Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
Tyler
I know. I'll fix it.
[Caroline nods at Tyler.]
Tyler
[Gets up and faces Klaus] [To Klaus] She'll die if you don't heal her.
Okay. [Bites into his wrist and holds out his arms, palms up] Beg me to save her life.
Tyler
Is this what you want? To remind me that I'm powerless against you? Fine. You win. I'm nothing. Now save her. Please.
I'm sorry, mate. I didn't quite catch that.
Tyler
Please.
Tyler
Please save her life.
See, now I think you're just telling me what I wanna hear. I mean, you did call me pathetic earlier. And wouldn't it be more pathetic of me to help now, knowing that hours ago, you announced your plan to kill me in a manner in which you're debating because you want it to have a certain amount of flair? I'm just asking.
Tyler
I'll be your slave again. I'll do whatever you want. Just help her.
[To Tyler] Get me out of here. I can't even look at him.
Tyler
[Gets Caroline up] Come on. [Carries Caroline away, with Klaus watching on]
[Gilbert House: Caroline is lying on Elena's bed with Tyler by her side.]
[To Tyler] It's getting worse. I'm sorry.
Tyler
No, it's my fault. I'm sorry.
No, you didn't do any of this.
Tyler
I unsired the hybrids and turned them on Klaus. I should've just left it alone.
You freed them, Tyler. People put their faith in you because you're a leader. Don't forget that.
Tyler
Then you trust me?
[Klaus is standing in the living room when Tyler carries Caroline into the living room and lays her down on the floor. Klaus turns to Caroline and Tyler.]
Tyler
[To Klaus] You wanna be in control, Klaus? Here. Now you get to be in control of her life. If you want her to die, fine. But then you can sit here and watch her die yourself.
[Tyler leaves the house. Caroline looks up at Klaus, who approaches her.]
[To Caroline] Nothing personal, love. But if I cure you, that means victory for him. [Crouches down next to Caroline] Don't worry. It won't be long now.
[Gilbert House: Caroline, who is holding a laptop in her hands, and Tyler, who is carrying a sword that is wrapped in a blanket, enter the Gilbert house where Klaus is sitting on the coffee table. Caroline goes to sit down on the couch.]
[To Tyler] Well, if it isn't little orphan Lockwood. Come to show how laughably impotent you are against me?
Tyler
I'm just trying to help my friends find the cure. [Removes the blanket from the sword] Found this in your attic.
And you think finding the sword brings you closer to the cure?
Tyler
You tell me. I was playing around with the handle on the ride over, and I found this. [Unwraps the leather on the top of the sword, revealing some sort of turning device.]
[Gets up and approaches Tyler] And what do you think this is?
[Gets up and approaches Tyler and Klaus] [To Klaus] It's called a cryptex. [Tyler turns to her] I've seen "The Da Vinci Code". You turn the different sides to the different symbols to get the translation on the other side. [Walks over to a table and picks up photos of Jeremy's tattoo] And with the magic of the internet, Elena sent over these. [Holds out photos of Jeremy's tattoo] So now all we have to do is cryptex away. [Sits down on the couch] If you happened to want to help, we wouldn't stop you.
Right. Well, might I suggest using the magic of the internet to purchase an Aramaic-to-English dictionary from your nearest retailer?
Tyler
[To Caroline] What's Aramaic?
It's a dead language. It hasn't been used since, like, biblical times.
Qetsiyah's native tongue, I'm guessing. You know, even if you had the best dictionary in the world, it could take days to translate. [Sits down on the coffee table] Perhaps weeks. [Speaks in Aramaic]
[Speaks in English] "If only you spoke Aramaic."
[Gilbert House: Caroline is holding the sword.]
[Speaks in Aramaic, then speaks in English] "Requires a powerful witch and a hunter in full bloom."
Tyler
[To Klaus] What are you doing?
I don't need to tell you my reasons. Caroline. Bring my sword over here.
[Gilbert House: Caroline and Tyler walk out onto the front porch.]
Tyler
[To Caroline] Every time I think I have him, that son of a bitch gets the upper hand.
We won't let him hurt you. Stefan and Elena will bring back the cure.
Tyler
If they get to it first. And if they don't, Klaus kills me. I need to get out of town and figure out how I'm gonna stay alive–
Wait, hang on, okay? Gosh! Before you get all doomsday, just– at least let me try and talk to him.
Tyler
He's got nothing to lose, Care. His brother's dead, his hybrids are gone. All he wants right now is blood, starting with mine.
I'm not gonna say goodbye to you again, do you understand me? Let me fix this.
[Caroline and Tyler nod to each other.]
[Gilbert House: Caroline and Tyler are sitting on the porch swing.]
[To Tyler] How many times are we gonna have to say goodbye?
Tyler
At least this time we have a minute to do it the right way.
[Breaks down crying] There isn't a right way.
Tyler
This isn't goodbye. This is until we find a way. We're immortal, remember? We will find a way.
What if we don't? Tell me that you'll never think of me again. Tell me that you'll forget about me, tell me that you are gonna go on and live a full and happy life without me.
Tyler
I will live a happy life without you. I will forget all about you. And I will never, ever, think about you again.
[Caroline and Tyler kiss.]
Until we find a way. [Tyler nods and kisses her forehead]
[Tyler stands up and leaves, with Caroline watching on.]
Tyler
Did I mention you're the hottest serial killer in here?
Well, considering the crowd, I'll take that as a compliment.
Tyler
I thought you got Stefan a costume.
He's James Dean. I went easy on him. I figured between the blood lust drama, the Damon-Elena drama, the amnesia drama, he's been through enough.
So this anchor thing, does it mean that you'll, like, be able to feel Katherine's death or whatever?
I think so. I mean, she's human, but she's also a Doppelgänger and Traveler apparently.
So who else do you see over there? Anybody I know?
I see lots of people. My Grams, the other witches. Vicki. I just don't talk about it, you know, I just--
Because it's depressing as hell. Tell Matty I love him.
She's here. She said she loves you.
Tell him that I watch over him and no more knocking around with that blond original chick who almost got him killed.
Wait. Wait. What's happening? What am I missing?
Tyler
Me.
Tyler
Rebekah says to tell you that I'm her parting gift. Hey, Care.
We've really gone through four bottles of bourbon today?
Can someone really tell these idiots to lay off the booze?
Where the hell have you been? I thought you bailed on us to go find peace or something.
Do you honestly think I'd leave Damon in charge and never look back?
He's talking about me, isn't he?
Ding-dong. Does that mean the witch is dead?
No. Uh-uh. It's too soon. I can't.
Tyler
You just had your lunch 30 minutes ago.
Or you could give me a couple sips of that hybrid juice. I can be on my way and I'll take up my ripper situation with Wes.
Tyler
Not gonna happen.
Can I ask you a question without you getting all wolf man on me?
Tyler
Do I have a choice?
Tyler
I'm a hybrid, and you need a babysitter.
Oh, no, I mean here, in Mystic Falls, here. Your family's all dead, and I don't see you getting a job at the grill. Yet I don't see you in a Whitmore hoodie, either. Something tells me that there's a little masochistic voice inside your head that's trying to convince you that you and Caroline still have a fighting chance in hell.
Tyler
I think you have enough problems without having to worry about me.
You're probably right. One small difference between you and me - you want to hear it?
Tyler
Not especially.
You see, even after all the terrible things I do, Elena still chose me. Because she's fighting for me. Caroline, on the other hand, chose the nuclear option. You know that big, red button that just nukes your entire relationship once as for all? Well, sleeping with the guy that killed your mom was kind of her way of slamming her hand down.
Tyler
You think Elena will still want you back after this? It's over, Damon. Fix yourself and run. Far away.
I plan on it. How's New Orleans this time of year?
Tyler
You really think Elena's gonna forgive you? Look at you. You killed her friend. You almost killed her brother. You nearly killed her. You're a joke, Damon.
Says the guy pining after the girl who slept with Klaus.
Tyler
You don't know anything about me.
I know how to get you in this cell.
Ok. So. Who's got the knife? Which one of you is gonna get to kill the elusive Katherine Pierce once and for all? (no one says anything) What? Suddenly everyone's speechless? When I was on my deathbed you all had plenty to say. Is it you, Tyler? Because I triggered your werewolf curse? Have you an identity and made you better?
Tyler
You've done nothing for me.
Oh, please, Tyler. If I hadn't walked into your life, you'd just be a wasted nobody with a boozy mom and a temper problem.
And you. I'm not worried about you offing me. Because we both know I made you better by making you a vampire.
Bye-bye, Caroline. Ooh. The one girl here who actually appreciates how beautiful you are. You wouldn't stab me in the heart, would you? Matty blue. No, I don't think so. You will definitely go down as the best night I never had. Oh, well.
Well, little Gilbert, it was nice to have a brother for a second there. When you weren't being so damn annoying. Bon Bon, no need for good-byes. I'll see you on the flip side. Damon. Oh, how you'd love nothing more than to drive that blade right through me.
We've already done this, Kitty Kat. I've said all I needed to say.
I know, but I never got to say what I needed to say to you. I'm sorry. You blame me for who you are. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I turned you. I'm sorry that you didn't get to die as a forgotten nobody on a bloody battlefield, and your father didn't get to live another day to be disgraced by you. Damon, I'm sorry that I have your life purpose. Passion. Drive. Desire. I'm sorry that you are who you are because I'm the one that taught you how to love.
I'll see you in hell, Katherine.
Stefan. You know, I always wondered what it would be like to be loved by you. You've got to admit, that one fleeting moment... Your feelings were real. This truly has been the role of a lifetime. Stefan, I love you. I've always loved you. (Katherine kisses Stefan, Stefan stabs her) Then I guess this is how our love story ends.
Is it wrong that I feel...
Tyler
Victorious?
Sad. I know that Katherine is a horrible person, but--
Tyler
But you see the good in people.
You mean Klaus. Because I saw the good in Klaus.
Tyler
Your words. Not mine.
Your hybrid bite just killed someone and no one even batted an eye. I sleep with the wrong guy weeks ago and I don't hear the end of it. How is that fair?
Tyler
I don't know, Care. Maybe people just expect more from you.
Why? Because being good comes so easy to me? Well, guess what, Tyler? It doesn't. I am a vampire. I have the same impulses as you. So, I'm allowed to make some mistakes along the way. Yes, I slept with Klaus-- but after you walked away from me. That was my choice and I am living with it and I don't need to be hearing about it every five seconds. So, just get over it or get out of my life, but... I'm done feeling guilty.
Perfect. You [Tyler] avoid the entire Czech language, figure out how to find Markos.
Tyler
How am I supposed to do that?
Well, you have a Traveler inside of you. I mean, I have probably misplaced faith that you'll figure it out. Meanwhile, you and I and our ex-girlfriend are gonna go on a little secret trip.
[Tyler is walking through the crowd. Luke is talking with someone when he sees Tyler walking through the crowd, leading him to approach him.]
[To Tyler] Hey, have you seen Elena?
Tyler
She's not coming. Apparently, she's not in her right mind.
Tyler
[Finishes up his drink and throws away his cup] Is this what you've been up to all summer? Messing with Elena's brain? Does it help with the guilt or are you just desperate for friends?
Tyler
Why? So you can trick her into thinking Damon's alive? Who does that? She almost killed someone.
[Pushes Tyler back a step] You're drunk.
Tyler
[Slaps Luke's drink out of his hand] Don't touch me! [Grabs Luke in a choke-hold] Where's your magic now, Parker? What's wrong? You can't chant? You stay away from Elena, or you're gonna have a problem your magic wand can't fix.
[Approaches Tyler and Luke] [To Tyler] Hey! Knock it off! [Shoves Tyler away from Luke] Knock it off! You got it under control, huh? Huh?
[Tyler looks at Alaric and Luke, then leaves.]
[To Luke] You wanna tell me what that was about? Come on. Let's get out of here.
[Alaric and Luke leave.]
