[Gilbert House: Caroline and Tyler walk out onto the front porch.]
[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.
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.
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: Klaus is sitting in an armchair when Caroline enters.]
[To Klaus] You can't kill Tyler.
Not only can I, I have to. I have a reputation to uphold. Moreover, I want to.
I'm not asking you to forgive him. All I'm asking is that you let him live, somewhere far from here.
[Gets up] So he gets to live a happy life after he turned all my hybrids against me? After he tried to kill me? After he made it his life's mission to find the cure so he could use it against me?
It doesn't matter. There's only one, so it's not like I'm gonna get it anyway.
But if you could? You won't, would you? You prefer who you are now to the girl you once were. You like being strong– ageless– fearless. [Steps closer to Caroline] We're the same, Caroline.
Then show me. You know how much I love Tyler. You can see how scared I am to lose him. If you and I are so similar, then show me your compassion. Show him the mercy that I would show you.
Mercy? For Tyler? Very well. Tell him to leave town immediately. [Walks to the armchair, but turns to Caroline] And tell him to run and hide in a place I will never find him.
Of course. [Takes her jacket and puts it on]
Tell him that this is the mercy I extend for your sake: That I will give him a head start before I kill him.
[Caroline turns and looks at Klaus, realizing what he is saying.]
[Gilbert House: Caroline and Tyler are sitting on the porch swing.]
[To Tyler] How many times are we gonna have to say goodbye?
At least this time we have a minute to do it the right way.
[Breaks down crying] There isn't a right way.
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.
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.]
[Gilbert House: Caroline is sitting on the porch swing when Klaus walks out onto the front porch.]
[To Klaus] How did you get out?
I fear something awful has befallen your friend Bonnie. [Approaches Caroline, who quickly stands up] Don't worry, love. You know I'd never hurt you.
I've done more than enough. I've shown kindness, forgiveness, pity. Because of you, Caroline. It was all for you.
[Klaus leaves, with Caroline watching on.]
Here's the thing. I was completely willing to accept the fact that you were one man on a lonely mission to kill ol' Silas, and then I got boned by my vixen nemesis miss Katherine Pierce, and then I start thinking there's no way that this is a coincidence. So what do you know, huh? (to Rebekah) Took you long enough.
Sorry. I had to dig the arrow out of my spine. Thank you for that.
Well, if you want a lead on Katherine Pierce, here's your guy.
Torture me all you want. You can't kill me. The Hunter's curse will torment you forever.
He's right. You can't kill him, but that doesn't mean we can't tear him apart piece by piece, nerve by nerve until the pain is so severe, that your brain shuts it off to give you one tiny moment of blessed relief, and then we'll heal you and do it again and again and again.
I was tracking dens of vampires across Colorado. Katherine found me, said she could help me find Silas. She already knew about the Hunter's mark, the cure.
Oh, she has someone on the inside, some werewolf girl, friends with your professor.
Hayley, Tyler Lockwood's old friend. Ah, I knew she was shady. Where'd Katherine find her.
New Orleans. That's all I know.
Ah. Good. Let's throw him in a well. If he starves to death, it's not our fault. I'm going to find Bonnie.
We've got a lead on the cure, Damon. I'm going to find it, but I suppose you don't mind. You never wanted Elena to be human again, anyway.
I wanted the cure for her because it's what she wanted. You might think I'm afraid to go back, but I'm not because I know what she needs. She needs me to bring her best friend home.
Ah, what an unpleasant surprise.
So I just came up with a list called things you suck at. Number one: finding Katherine, ever. Number two: covering up your secret phone conversations to that little backstabbing Hayley. Yeah, so where is she, and what does she know about Katherine?
I should help you? After you lot killed my brother and imprisoned me in the Gilbert living room.
You might want to prioritize Klaus, you have much bigger problems. Katherine has the cure. My guess is she's gonna want to cram it down your throat. You help me find Katherine., I'll get the cure, I'll give it to Elena, everybody wins.
