I remember this event from 1864. I was supposed to enter...before everything happened.
Ah, nostalgia's a bitch.
If you're just gonna mock me, could you move along, please?

Hey! You...can't be back here.
We need to talk.
Does it have to be right now?
Normally I would have a completely different outlook on what I'm about to tell you, but since it could really inconvenience me, I'll...squeal.
What are you talking about?
Stefan's still drinking human blood.
...What?
Yeah. (shrugs) A month ago, I would've rejoiced. But with the council back on the alert, it is not a good time for Stefan to fly off the handle.
I know he's been a little edgy, but, he said that was normal...
He has a fridge, full of stolen blood bank contraband, in the house.
Oh my God...
He has no idea what normal is - his entire existence isn't normal. Normal to a vampire is drinking human blood, but he's spent all this time fighting it, when he should have been learning how to control it. And now it's controlling him, instead.
You were basically using me to turn you into a vampire so you could be with someone else.
No, I wasn't using you.
Really? Then how would you like to define it?
(scoffs) I don't think it's any worse than becoming friends with me so we could give your mother my blood.
How do you know that?
It's not important.
Seriously, Jeremy. What do you know?
Everything. I know everything.
What's going on in here?
Just filling Elena in on your extra-curricular activities.
(scoffs) What are you talking about?
I know about the blood, Stefan.
I'm gonna... I'll be downstairs. Drinking.
There's a part of me that's so angry that she covered up what happened to Vicki and erased my memory, but there's also this other part of me that's glad. I don't want to remember Vicki like that.
As a monster?
No. As someone who wanted to hurt me.
When I met you, you were just a part of my plan to get my mother back, but then things changed... all the time we spent together. I would never do anything to hurt you... not now. You know that, right?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not very good to be around, right now. I'm a little bit on edge. I've been drinking the human stuff, and it's really screwing with my head. She knows now! She wasn't supposed to find out, I didn't want her to find out, now everything's ruined.
You seem sad.
I'm not sad! I'm FREAKING. HUNGRY.
I don't hurt people. I don't do that. I'm the good brother.
Do you want to hurt me?
I want to kill you. I want to rip into your skin, and then I want to feed on your blood. Under your skin...pulsating, flowing. Your carotid artery...right there. If you puncture this just right, you can control the blood flow. Takes practice, but it doesn't have to make a mess. You don't have to waste any.
What's stopping you?
If I do this...if I give in... then there's no going back.
Then don't.
What's your name?
Amber.
Listen to me, Amber. I need you to be afraid of me. I need you to run like hell, do you understand me?! Run. Run! Now!
(screams and runs)
(runs after her and catches her)
(screams) I thought you said to run!
I changed my mind. (feeds on her)
Alright, now this is getting weird...
We're here to talk.
Not in the mood! Today's been a no-good, very-bad day.
You shouldn't be here.
I know.
Now you know.
That wasn't you.
Oh, it was absolutely me. A monster...a predator. It's who I am, Elena.
That's what the blood makes you.
The blood brings out what's inside of me, and if you think any differently then you're an idiot!
I know this isn't you, Stefan.
I wanted to drain every ounce of blood from that girl's body.
No...
It's who I am, Elena!
No, you can't scare me off.
Why would you risk it? Why would you come here?
Because I did this! This is my fault! I'm the one who made you drink the blood...
All you did was expose me to who I really am!
This isn't you.
STOP SAYING THAT! (tries to compose himself) Don't get any closer to me...
I'm not going to let this happen to you.
Stop.
Stefan, I'm not going to give up on you. I believe in you...
STOP! (slams her against the wall) Stop! (hits the wall behind her)
(gasps loudly)
(realizing what he's done) I'm so sorry.
It's okay... It's okay...
(sobs)... I don't know what's happening to me...
It's okay, Stefan. Shhh...it's okay. It's okay. (starts crying) You're gonna be okay... (stabs him with a vervain tranquilizer)
Sure you wanna do this?
I'm sure.
(closes dungeon door) There's no guarantee this is gonna work.
It has to.
(starts to leave) Coming?
I'm gonna stay here. (sits, leaning against the wall)
(sits across from her)
