A little tip. If you're gonna flee the scene of a crime, take back roads.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Class is in session. First assignment-- anti-magic perimeter. Gilbert, what you got?
I walked around Mystic Falls this morning to see where my Hunter instincts disappeared.
Meaning what, your biceps shrunk, and your brain got smaller?
Meaning that I have a supernatural urge to kill vampires, so wherever I hated you less, there was no magic.
As vezat esvet.
As vezat esvat.
Esvet, not vat. I feel like I'm teaching calculus to an infant.
I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous about unleashing a plague onto humanity.
Ooh! I've been upgraded to a plague? Oh. How biblical and fitting, seeing as I will probably will kill a lot of people in an epic, all-inclusive way once I'm out of here.
Friendly advice: when you finally get the girl, don't blow her up.
(crying) You lied to me!
Even if I wanted to apologize, you couldn't hear me. So I won't.
Please don't leave me.
I don't have a choice, baby. You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my 173 years on this earth. The fact that I get to die knowing I was loved, not just by anyone, by you, Elena Gilbert, is the epitome of a fulfilled life. It was never going to get any better than this. I peaked. I love you, Elena.
Please. Please, come back to me.
Bye.
This place is going down, isn't it?
It is. I am sure there are a million other people that we'd both rather be with right now, but...
Couple thousand at most.
Do you think it'll hurt?
I don't kn-
I kind of want to set up Ric with Jo from the hospital. I mean, we both know that he has a soft spot for the "sexy doctor" type. How long do you think it takes after someone comes back to life before they can start dating again?
(hallucination) Damon: Well the fact that you can say that with a straight face is one more reason that I love you.
So, like, three months?
Can I ask why there's not a Bennett witch in the back? I mean, can't Luke whip up a batch of herbs in "Bonnie" flavor?
You know if I had to drive around with everyone that I've lost, I'd need a school bus.
Or you just know that Bonnie would agree with Luke. The last thing you would do is conjure up someone who's gonna tell you the truth.
Can we not talk about this?
About what? The fact that I'm dead? Cuz I am...
Technically, you were dead when we met.
Good point! Now I'm just gone. Poof!
Damon, please don't say that.
And this conversation is pretty much the smart, level-headed you talking to the irrational, possible drug addict you. Which is clear evidence of your insanity.
You just said that you were looking for him...
I did. And then I realized that it was pointless and that I needed to move on with my life, so I stopped.
What do you mean you stopped?
I mean I said goodbye, Elena. I moved on. Damon is gone; it's time for you to say goodbye, too.
[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?
She's not coming. Apparently, she's not in her right mind.
What happened?
[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?
Where's Elena now?
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.
[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.]
You know I want to see you, Damon. But it makes me reckless. I- I hurt people...
(hallucination) Damon: So why am I here? You wanna move on? Move on.
I never got to say thank you.
For what?
For saving Stefan, and...bringing back Alaric and Tyler... Thank you.
Elena-
No, I'm not done yet, I'm... I want to thank you for giving me everything I always wanted. A love that consumed me, and passion...adventure... There's nothing more I could ever want other than for it to last forever, but...it can't. This is the last time I'm gonna see you. This is goodbye, Damon. I love you. I have to let you go.
(they kiss)
(hallucination) Damon: You're still holding on.
I- no, I...I said goodbye, Damon...
I don't blame you. You know what's waiting for you... How long before you go running back to Luke, hm?
No, I told you that was the last time, Damon. I-I'm done!
An eternity of torment, agony, grief, and you'll feel it all.
Stop it, Damon, stop it, stop it, you're getting in my head... Don't do this, please...
You're gonna feel it forever...
NO!
[Tyler is doing pull-ups on a bar attached to the door frame.]
[Walks in] [To Tyler] Could you be more of a douchebag cliché?
I got a little out of control. I know.
A little? It's not Luke's fault that your friend's emotionally blackmailing him to fulfill whatever mental head case crap she's going through.
Grief. It's called grief. Your brother got to live that day, remember? The rest of us lost people because of him.
I'm aware of that, Tyler. I think about it every day. So does Luke. A lot of you got your lives back, too, because of me. So at the very least, do me a favor and lay off my brother.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Yeah, our twin powers don't work like that. You actually have to tell Luke to his face. [Starts to leave]
[Stops Liv] Well, I will. Listen. Liv, 4 months ago, I could do anything. I could make anyone do anything that I wanted. I was stronger than most people on this earth. And then it went away. And all that's left inside of me is rage.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I want you to understand that I am trying to deal with it.
Okay, good. Good luck dealing with it.
Why do you do that? I'm trying to talk to you and you just give me that look and walk away?
What would you like me to do, Tyler?
[Liv walks away, with Tyler watching on.]
Honestly, Elena...I hate everything about being a vampire.
Me too. At least, you know, I did. Then one day I discovered the good part. You know, the promise that "love could be eternal." And I had that with Damon. Which means that, for the rest of eternity, I'm going to have a hole in my heart where he's supposed to be.
I know how death works, Ric. Trust me, I've done it. A lot. There's no such thing as "moving on." It's a lie. So if I'm ever going to be able to fall in love again, and make eternity bearable, I need you to do something.
What?
You were created with the original vampire spell, which means that you can compel other vampires. And since I can't take away my vampirism...I want you to take away Damon. I want you to compel me to forget that I ever loved him.
