My name is Elena Gilbert.
I'm a vampire
in search of the cure.
It's a cure
for immortality?
You dig up Silas,
and you've got your cure.
There is only
one dose.
I really want to get
that cure for you.
If I gave you the cure
to save yourself,
you'd give it to Elena,
wouldn't you?
We all wanted to help
Elena get the damn thing
We risked everything
to get it.
- She's here.
- Aagh!
It's been too long,
little Gilbert.
And we failed.
Jeremy!
Oh, no.
No.
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, God, no.
Oh, God
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
You're gonna be ok.
The ring will
bring you back.
It's ok.
It's ok.
You're gonna be ok.
You're gonna
be ok, Jeremy.
You're gonna be fine.
How'd this happen?
It was Katherine.
She must have been
following us this whole time.
What about the cure
or Silas?
If there was anything
in there at all, it's all gone.
Where the hell
is Bonnie?
I have no idea.
She went looking
for Jeremy last night.
She never came back.
Damon, Elena is in there
waiting for the Gilbert ring
to bring Jeremy
back to life.
Ok.
Fine.
We'll wait with her.
Damon, listen to me.
Jeremy was
one of the five,
a hunter.
He's supernatural.
The ring
won't work anymore.
She won't
survive this.
I'll find Bonnie.
You get Elena
off this island.
* The Vampire Diaries 4x15 *
Stand by Me
Hey, you're home.
I was trying to clean
the burn mark where Kol
I couldn't
get the spot out.
Come on.
Let's get him upstairs.
Can I get you
anything?
No.
I'm fine.
I'm just
gonna sit here
and wait with him
until he wakes up.
Let me know if you hear
anything about Bonnie, ok?
Yeah.
Sure.
Unless you're a blond,
a Bennett witch,
or a doppelganger,
I suggest you steer clear.
Where is it,
the cure?
I know someone
has it.
Yes, someone
Katherine.
Katherine?
The doppelganger?
Yeah.
Sneaky, little *** must've
been spying on us for weeks.
She killed Jeremy
Or somebody did.
He killed your brother.
Let's not with the fake sad face.
I didn't say I was
going to miss him,
but I'm not heartless.
He was Elena's
only family.
Good.
Well, you
can send flowers
- after you help me find Bonnie.
- We need to find Katherine.
If there's one thing
that's a guarantee
in this miserable,
little world,
it's that Katherine Pierce is gone.
We need
to find Bonnie.
Oh, and beware of
the immortal Silas.
If he was asleep in that cave,
he's awake now.
Don't touch it.
I used some of
the island's herbs and berries
to help
treat the wound,
but not being
an actual witch,
I can't guarantee much.
How are you healed?
It was Silas.
He helped me.
You did it, Bonnie.
He's risen.
Get away from me.
I know you're angry
with me, ok,
but now you'll see,
everything I did,
all those lives lost,
they weren't in vain.
Silas is gonna
bring them back.
What you want to do
isn't natural, Shane.
You can't
bring back the dead.
I think you'll
change your mind now.
What do you mean, now?
When Silas awoke,
he had to feed to
gain his strength.
He'd been desiccating
for almost 2,000 years.
He needed blood.
Jeremy was there.
- What are you saying?
- He had
What are you
saying to me?
He drained him
of his blood, Bonnie.
Jeremy is dead.
How long has she
been like that?
Ever since
we found his body.
She hasn't
said anything
except that she's waiting
for him to wake up.
But he's not
going to wake up.
She knows that, right?
Look.
Deep down,
I think she has to,
but we're talking
about Elena here.
She feels grief more
powerfully than anyone else.
I think her denial
is the one thing
protecting her
from letting it all in.
She can't stay
like that forever.
I know, but I don't want to be
the one to break her out of it,
not until we know
that Bonnie is safe,
not until we get Damon
over here to, you know
Use the sire bond
to convince her
that everything
is ok?
I'm not in denial.
I know that he
was supernatural,
but did you see?
His tattoo is gone.
The tattoo had the spell
that opened Silas' chamber.
Maybe it
being gone means
that he fulfilled his
supernatural destiny.
Maybe he's
back to normal.
- It's possible, right?
- Elena
It's possible, Caroline.
There's a chance.
It may be miniscule,
but it's hope,
and I'm gonna hold
on to that hope
with everything
that I've got because there's no way
There's absolutely no way
that my brother is dead.
I'm not in denial.
Hey.
I know that I'm not
supposed to be calling,
but something happened, and
I need to talk to you, Tyler.
So please call me.
Do you know
where he is?
As far away from Klaus
as he can get.
Klaus said he wouldn't stop
until he found him.
Well, Katherine has been running
from Klaus for 500 years.
It's not easy,
but it's possible.
It's probably why
she stole the cure.
She wants to bargain
for her freedom.
I just can't believe
after all that,
the cure
is just gone.
Yeah.
I mean, talk
about denial.
In my head,
I was thinking there was no way
Elena was gonna stay
a vampire forever
And now without
any family.
Well, we can't think
about that right now.
We need to make
plans, lists.
We need a funeral
or a cover story
or a funeral
and a cover story.
I should go tell my mom.
I guess she'll know what to do.
We should get Matt
over here.
You're right.
I will do that.
I will call Matt,
and then I will go tell my mom,
and then I will
make a list or a casserole
or I don't know
Whatever people are supposed to do
or make in
these situations.
What's that smell?
It's his body.
He's starting
to decompose.
Tell you mom to get
Dr.
Fell over here.
Do you think
Bonnie is dead?
Never thought I'd say this,
but I hope not.
I don't like being out
in the open like this.
What, afraid of
the big, bad Silas?
No.
Scaredy cat
I'm not a scaredy cat.
My brother Kol drove himself
mad worrying about Silas rising.
It would benefit us all
to be a bit concerned,
and you're one to talk
about being afraid.
You're so scared, you're 1,200 miles
away from where you're supposed to be.
Hey, somebody needed
to find Bonnie.
Stefan could've
done that.
Aren't you Elena's
current love?
It's so hard to keep
track these days.
Shouldn't you be
home comforting her,
or are you terrified of being there
when she realizes her brother is dead?
Ow!
Sorry.
Better you than me.
Aagh! Uh!
Uh! Uh!
Mm, just the guy
I wanted to see.
Not really.
Bonnie, here.
Drink this.
It'll calm you down.
I don't want any of
your stupid teas, Shane.
Bonnie
Jeremy is dead.
Bonnie, be careful.
Don't let your magic
get out of control.
Bonnie! Come on.
Bonnie, I am not gonna
let you fall apart.
I'm not gonna let you.
Silas needs you.
He can bring Jeremy back.
He can bring
everyone back,
and you're
gonna help him, ok?
You're gonna
see Jeremy again.
Elena?
Meredith? What are
you doing here?
I came to check
on your brother.
May I?
Yeah.
Um
You're not gonna
find any vitals.
It's the same thing that
Ric used to go through.
He'd just be dead
until then he wasn't.
Once, I remember
he was gone
for almost
an entire day.
Ric died, like,
and Jeremy has died
a few times, too
gonna have to
So we'll have to
keep an eye on him
because I don't want him to
go crazy just like Ric did.
Elena
It looks like Jeremy died
of extreme blood loss.
His neck also appears
to be broken.
The lack of blood explains
why there's no lividity,
but his muscles
have tightened
past the point of rigor mortis.
No.
If he's left unattended to,
soon he'll start to bloat.
Within a few hours,
his skin will discolor, and
no.
Stop, ok?
Just stop.
He's not dead.
I need you to release
the body to me.
We'll get him
to a funeral home
and prepare him
for a viewing
where you and his friends
can say good-bye to him.
- He's not dead, ok?
- Elena, stop it.
Now you're
all about science?
Where was your science when you used
vampire blood to save my life, huh?
There is no science here.
It's just magic.
We need magic.
We have to find Bonnie.
Bonnie can fix this.
Somebody just get me Bonnie!
Elena
No.
No.
No, Matt.
It's fine.
It's ok.
It's ok.
Bonnie will
be here soon,
and she'll fix everything,
and it'll be all fine.
Everything
is gonna be fine.
It'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
You're not dosing me
again, are you?
Poison your
best friend once,
and suspicion
follows you forever.
Where are Bonnie
and Damon?
We lost Bonnie
on the island.
Damon stayed back
to try and find her.
That's funny.
Doesn't he hate her?
He doesn't hate her.
I think he actually
kind of loves her.
You're mean to the people
that you care about.
That's some
messed-up logic.
- Damon logic.
- Damon logic.
Listen.
I want you to go
somewhere with me.
I can't leave Jeremy.
Elena
There's nothing you
can do right now, ok?
Stefan can
stay here with him.
Come with me.
Please.
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 *** by my ***
Nemesis miss Katherine Pierce,
and then I start
thinking
there's no way that
this is a coincidence.
So what
do you know, huh?
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.
- It'll be worth it.
- 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.
- You are creepy.
- Thank you.
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.
- How?
Oh, she had 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 gonna go find Bonnie.
We've got a lead
on the cure, Damon.
I'm gonna find
I but I suppose you don't mind.
You never wanted Elena to
be human again, anyway.
I wanted that 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.
We got to get you home if
you're gonna help Silas raise the dead.
I don't understand
what I can do.
Well, Silas
can't do magic.
He was a witch, but after
he became immortal, that ended.
He can be a witch or a vampire,
but never both.
That's why I've been
teaching you expressions,
so you can do
his work for him.
What? How?
Using the power
of 3 massacres.
Each massacre of 12
marks the earth with power,
and you can use expression
to tap into that power.
You've had
No.
I've had
You and I are gonna
complete the triangle.
- We're what?
- Look.
There needs to be another massacre,
but it's ok.
They're gonna come back.
It's worth it.
I'm not helping you
kill 12 people, Shane.
Won't you if it meant
you can see Jeremy again,
your grams,
everybody you and
your friends ever lost?
I think you would.
No.
Bonnie?
Jeremy?
It hurts.
Jeremy.
Help me.
I can help you.
I'll help you.
I can help you.
No.
He asked you to help
him, didn't he?
He needs your help.
You can do this,
Bonnie.
You know you can.
I'll do
whatever it takes.
I'm bumping the AC.
We're not gonna be able to leave
him in there for much longer.
Yeah.
I know.
I've been alive for
almost two centuries now.
You'd think with the amount
of people that I've seen die,
it would hurt less
each time.
Never does.
No.
No.
It never does.
I see this
every day.
Sometimes I think that denial is
the worst part for people like us
because we
know the truth.
We can see they're on
a collision course with it,
and all we can do is brace
ourselves for impact.
Did you find her?
I'm still looking.
How is she?
She's losing it,
Damon.
We can do what we can
to delay things here,
but we got to get Jeremy to
the morgue before it gets ugly.
Damn it.
I can't just
leave her behind.
I can't show up
without Bonnie.
I think you have to.
At this point,
the sire bond
is probably the only thing
that's gonna keep Elena together.
I can go back
to find Bonnie.
I'm on my way.
I could actually
hug you right now.
Where have you been?
How'd you find me?
Shane led the way.
He told me
what to do, Damon.
I know how to bring
Jeremy back.
You brought me
to the stoner pit?
I want you
to see something.
Vicki.
Remember when Jer
was so into my sister?
When our parents died.
It was his rebel phase.
I found this
after Vick died.
It made me smile
And this.
Jeremy and Vicky.
Did he do that?
After they found
Vick's body,
I remember thinking that
things didn't feel over,
you know, that there
was no possible way
that she could be
gone forever.
Then she wasn't.
My point is, this town,
this crazy-*** world
we live in,
sometimes not being willing
to accept that someone is gone
is because
maybe they're not
At least not completely.
Is that really
what you believe?
Yes.
If I compelled you
to tell me the truth,
is that what
you would say?
I would tell you that
it's ok to have hope
Because sometimes that's
all that keeps me going.
Thanks, Matt.
- Stefan?
- Hey.
Damon found Bonnie.
The plane is there waiting for
them when they get off the island.
They'll be home
in a few hours.
- Thank God.
Is she ok?
- Yeah.
He said she's fine.
Listen, Elena.
You might have been right.
There might be something.
She knows what
to do, doesn't she?
Let's just see what she says
when she gets home, ok?
Ok.
We'll be
home soon.
Uh! Ha ha!
You know,
if you're smart,
you'll use the cure
to kill Silas.
Killing Silas is
your supernatural destiny, not mine.
All right.
Ok.
Well, you be careful up there,
you know,
because he's up there
running about.
You sure about that?
You don't believe me?
Check my pack.
I found it in the
chamber where he lay.
They say no one
has seen him.
No one knows his face.
How do you hide
from the devil
when you don't know
what he looks like?
Who knows?
Maybe I'm him.
Mark my words,
if you don't use
the cure to kill him,
doesn't matter if you're
human or vampire.
You're doomed.
We all are.
Good luck
to you, Lass.
You've all brought this
upon yourselves.
May you rot in it!
Ha ha ha!
Tyler, it's me again.
So I was thinking about it,
and you probably
ditched your phone,
which is the smartest thing
that you could do.
So I don't know
when you're gonna get this,
but things were looking
kind of bleak for a minute,
and I don't know
Maybe they're turning around.
So when you get this,
call me back,
and I'll tell you everything.
Thank God.
We were
so, so worried.
I'm ok.
Could you get
Stefan out here?
They said that she
knows what to do.
Caroline, I need to
talk to my brother.
What's wrong?
I'll do
whatever it takes.
Whatever you ask of me,
I'll do.
Then you will
see him again.
There's just a few things
we have to do first.
It's called
an expression triangle.
I need to complete it
for Silas.
What?
She's out of her
mind, Stefan.
The nutty Professor has got
her totally brainwashed.
Bonnie,
you can't kill 12 people.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's
the only way to get enough power.
To do what?
When Silas was buried
by the witch Qetsiyah,
she left him with the cure
and two choices
Stay mortal and rot
or take the cure
and eventually die
in there of old age.
He's been trapped
in there for 2,000 years.
At some point,
wouldn't death
by old age
have been better?
No, because, you see,
Qetsiyah had already one-upped him.
She knew that
he wanted to die
so that he could
find peace,
be reunited with
his one true love.
So she created
the other side
as a purgatory for all
supernatural beings,
ensuring
that if he died,
he'd end up
there forever.
- That's where you come in.
- Why me?
Because you, as
Qetsiyah's descendant
can make the other
side go away.
How?
I mean, the whole
flight back home,
all she could talk about
was how she's the one
that can drop the veil between
this side and the other side.
Drop the veil?
What does that even mean?
What it means is,
the myth about Silas
being able
to raise the dead
is not just one
or some.
It's every supernatural
being over there.
Once the veil is dropped,
the other side doesn't exist anymore.
There's nothing separating us.
We're all just one.
and the witch spell
of the century,
every supernatural being over
there is back with a vengeance.
- I can't do that.
- What? Oh, no.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
All the witches,
your ancestors,
who've been persecuted
throughout time,
your grams, Jeremy,
they'll all be back.
You can do this.
You will do this.
Bonnie, you are
talking like a crazy person.
You are not killing
and you sure as hell
can't invite every monster
who has ever died
back into this world.
Caroline, I think
she knows that.
No.
I can do it.
I have the power.
I can bring
everyone back
Jeremy, Alaric,
Vicki.
Bonnie, stop it.
You can't just say these things.
I'll get it.
Hey, look.
I'll get it.
I said I'll get it.
Hello?
Elena, hey.
It's April Young.
I was looking for Jeremy,
and his cell phone keeps
going straight to voicemail.
Jeremy can't come
to the phone right now.
He's not
I'm sorry.
He's dead.
Elena
He's dead.
He's dead.
Damon, he's dead,
and he's been dead
this entire time,
and I
Oh, my God.
I can smell him.
How long has he
smelled like that?
Hey, talk to me.
I can help you.
How? How are you
gonna help me? How?
Ok.
Ok.
We have to take care
of his body.
- Bring him downstairs.
- We shouldn't
Just carry him
down, please.
Where's Bonnie?
We told Matt to take her home.
We thought it'd be best.
Ok.
Guess we're gonna have to
do this the old-fashioned way.
- Do what?
- Put his body on the couch.
Elena?
Elena, you need help
finding something?
Got it.
What are you doing?
We need a cover story,
right?
You think I didn't hear you guys
talking earlier?
Well, what are we gonna say
Animal attack,
tumble down the stairs?
No.
We burn the house down
with him inside of it.
Elena, stop it.
Why, because you want me
to not be in denial?
You want me
to face the truth?
This is
the truth, Stefan.
I don't want to live
here anymore.
I don't want
these sketches.
I don't want this Xbox.
Not gonna need
this bourbon anymore.
Alaric is not here
to drink it, I mean,
unless you guys are
willing to bring back
every supernatural creature on
the other side to get him hick.
Would you?
I know you want your
drinking buddy back.
Would you, Damon?
Because I wouldn't.
I don't know.
I mean, does that make me
a bad person?
I have no idea.
He's not gonna need that
anymore.
Elena, stop it.
You're scaring me.
What else are we supposed to
do with the body, Caroline?
I mean, there's no room in
the Gilbert family plot.
Jenna and John took
the last spots.
No, no, Elena.
Stop.
There's nothing here
for me anymore, Stefan.
Every inch of this house
is filled with memories
of the people that
I love that have died
My mom, my dad, Jeremy,
and Jenna and Alaric,
John, even John.
I mean, they're all dead.
Everyone is dead.
So what am I
supposed to
I mean, how am I
gonna
I can't even
There's nothing
left for me.
Aah!
- Elena, I need you to calm down.
- No, no, no.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I
I can't.
I can't.
No.
It hurts.
It hurts.
Just make it stop.
Please make it stop.
It hurts.
Ah
Damon
Help her.
I I
I can help you.
I want you
to let me help you.
I can help you.
How?
Turn it off.
What? No, no.
Just turn it off,
and everything
will go away.
That's what
you have to do.
It's what
I want you to do.
Just turn it off.
Hey, it's me.
Look.
I hate to leave this
on your voicemail,
but I think that
you need to know.
Jeremy is dead, Tyler.
I'm so sorry.
I thought that you would call
and I could tell you,
but then you didn't, so
Just call me
when you get this, ok?
I need you,
and there's no way that
yesterday was the last time
that I'm ever going to see you
or talk to you.
It can't be.
So just Call me, Tyler.
Please.
It's gonna be ok, Matt,
you'll see.
I'll bring him back.
Get some sleep, Bon.
We can talk tomorrow.
Did you tell them?
They don't think
I can do it.
Oh, they're just scared.
They're afraid to believe.
You know,
I've been thinking.
You said if I dropped
the veil to the other side,
that the dead'll return,
but that's only
for the supernatural.
What about the 12 people
that died on the Young farm?
They were
a necessary sacrifice
for the greater good.
They've passed on.
They've found peace.
It's all anyone wants.
That's all Silas wants.
We'll do this together,
you and I.
We are the beginning.
Blast it.
Shane.
Aah!
Silas.
It was a mistake.
It wasn't,
and you know it.
This is the only way
she's gonna survive.
We'll help her,
keep an eye on her.
When she's ready, I'll use
the sire bond to bring her back.
Her humanity, Damon,
it was all she had left.
Humanity means nothing
when you don't have
anyone to care
about, Stefan.
She had you.
She lost
her brother.
I'm not enough,
not this time.
Listen, Damon.
I know that you and I,
we've been through some
Bad spots lately,
especially
when it comes to her.
Yeah.
Well
Guess none of that
matters anymore.
I just, um
I want you to know
that, um
I know, Stefan.
Elena, don't do this.
We can find
another cover story.
This is the best one.
No one'll ask questions.
Ok.
If you burn down the house,
it'll be gone.
What if one day
when this is all over,
you want to come home again?
I won't.
