The Originals s01e07 Episode Script

Bloodletting

My siblings and I are the first vampires in all of history, The Originals.
Unlike them, I am a hybrid half vampire, half werewolf.
we helped build New Orleans.
Now we've returned, drawn back by a coven of witches who threaten the woman carrying my child.
That baby will bring death to us all.
Aah! Aah! My brother Elijah dealt with them.
No one hurts my family and lives.
We thought Hayley would be safe.
I'm Marcel.
I don't think we've met.
Hayley is gone.
Where is she? What? Marcel was here.
We were wrong.
Ladies, gentlemen, welcome to fight night And the first rule of fight night is, the vampire left standing at the end of the night is one step closer to the inner circle and one of these a daylight ring.
If you can impress me with a little ultra-violence, you too can enjoy the warmth of the sun on your face.
All you got to do is kick a little ass.
So here we go.
Our first two contenders Felicia and Otto.
Ha ha ha! Whoo! Damn, girl, not bad.
Good evening.
I'd like a word.
What do you think you're doing? It appears that we've interrupted a collection of filthy amateurs.
We've come here for the girl.
Give her to us, orWe kill everyone here.
You two got a lot of nerve coming into my home and making demands.
You're home, is it? The girl.
I will not ask again.
I assume you're talking about Hayley yay high, dark hair, bitchy attitude.
Who is she, anyway? She's an old friend.
You know how sentimental I am about old friends.
Well, I ain't got her, and before you start whining, I did pay her a little visit last night.
I was feeling nostalgic.
So I took a trip out to the plantation where I used to be a slave, and imagine my surprise when I realized that the Original family of vampires had taken up residence.
Your girl Hayley answered the door.
We exchanged hellos.
That was it.
You don't believe me, look around.
Hell, I'll even help you find her, but the question I'd ask is, if Hayley isn't here, then where is she? Uh! Uh! Uh! Seriously? You don't want to fight me, Hayley.
You know you can't beat a hybrid.
Aah! Let me go, you backstabbing, half-breed piece of sh shut up! Not the most attractive community, are they? You do realize they can hear you.
You do realize I don't care.
You know, Elijah, I liked you better in that box, but, Klaus, my sire, you I owe the world, and I always show respect to my elders.
If your special lady friend is missing, you can benefit from the help of a witch, and since I control all the witches in this town, I'll Grant you one little locator spell.
Sabine is the best guide in the quarter.
You need to find someone, I guarantee she's your girl.
Where are you going? I hate to cut this short, but the sun is coming up soon.
My nightwalkers need to get inside, and I've got a city to run.
I'll leave you to track down your lost sheep.
Can you find her? I can try.
What is this place? The armpit of Louisiana.
What are you gonna do with that? Depends on you.
Hey, you attacked me, remember? You ambushed me in my own back yard.
It's not your back yard.
It's Klaus'.
You're shacked up in a mansion with that psycho, a long way from the girl I met in the appalachians helping other werewolves.
Tyler, I'm sorry, but a lot has happened since the last time I saw you.
You mean like how you're pregnant? A hybrid baby.
Yeah.
I know all about it.
I've been roaming around the bayou asking questions.
Let me tell you what I learned.
This crescent birthmark means you come from a big shot family, some kind of royalty to the werewolves of this region, and right here, this is all that's left of them.
Hey, help me.
They can't help you.
They're in the woods hiding because they've been persecuted for decades by vampires.
Is that her? Yeah, Dwayne.
Get her inside.
Tyler? Tyler? She's in the back country, way out past houma, deep in the bayou.
I don't suppose you could be more precise.
What's the matter, Elijah, are you worried a bit suppose of splashing about in the bog might ruin your expensive shoes? As a matter of fact, after my recent confinement, I could use a decent stroll through the countryside.
There are stories of exiled werewolves, encampments.
If Hayley went out that far, chances are, she went to find them.
Clearly, she hopes to make the acquaintance of more like herself.
I suppose our company wasn't good enough for her.
You could always join them, you know.
Uh, drinking games.
It's not really my thing.
It kind of reminds me of the jocks in my High School.
We had a pretty high quota of what you'd call douche nozzles.
Bullies, huh? Yeah.
Wonder what'd happen if you saw those guys now.
I bet you'd tear them apart, right? Ah, yeah, totally.
Ha! Probably go all vamp ninja on them.
Ha ha ha! You're a funny guy, Josh.
In fact, I thought it was really funny last night, you know, seeing you at that plantation where Klaus is staying.
Ho ho! Ha ha ha! You going somewhere, Josh? We should head south towards the water.
You seem quite determined to find the little wolf.
If I'm moving too fast for you, Niklaus, you're welcome to wait in the car.
Do be certain to leave the windows down.
Ah, so I've touched a nerve.
You've begun to admire this girl.
Perhaps that's why you've been barking orders since your return, hoping to impress Hayley by assuming the role of family patriarch.
You want to insist on treating her like a walking incubator, then that's your mistake.
Have you found her scent? No But I found someone else's.
This vehicle reeks of someone I thought I was rid of Tyler Lockwood.
And why would your little hybrid sidekick from Mystic Falls have any interest in Hayley? He wants revenge because I went after his girl.
Why do I suspect this is the least of your offenses? Back when I had the means to sire hybrids, he was my first, although I didn't give him much choice in the matter.
He was loyal in the beginning, but he grew insubordinate, turned my other hybrids against me.
I couldn't have that.
So I massacred the lot of them.
Tyler ran like a coward before I could finish him off.
Anything else that you would like to share? Well, there was this business with his mum.
You killed his mother.
Wonderful.
He needed to be taught a lesson.
And what lesson will you be taught, Niklaus, if he retaliates by harming Hayley? So you do care about her.
Well, go on, then.
Have at it, brother.
Save her.
Claim what spoils you can.
I've sampled what she has to offer, and, let me tell you, she is exquisite.
Niklaus, so help me enough.
I'll kill Tyler Lockwood myself.
Marcel, something is happening.
There's a witch doing magic in the quarter.
Oh, no worries.
That one is Marcel-approved.
Besides Oh! Got something else for you to handle.
Oh, no.
You're the super witch.
Say hi to Josh.
Why would you bring him here? Josh has a problem.
Klaus compelled him to spy on me.
Agh! I can't have that.
So I thought, "I'll just kill Josh.
" Marcel, please.
It's not my fault.
Then I thought, "killing a vampire, that would be breaking my own rule.
" Smart thing to do is to flip Josh.
That way, he can tell Klaus whatever I want.
He could even spy for me.
All we got to do is wipe away that compulsion.
So what do you think? I can make him forget what Klaus told him, but the more Klaus said, the more it's gonna hurt.
Hmm, probably gonna hurt a lot.
Josh? I'll do it, anything, yes.
How much pain are we talking? R anything, yes.
Klaus destroyed everything good in my life.
So I'm gonna take away the thing he wants most.
No, please, Tyler, please.
Aah! Ggh Uh Oh! I thought you were leaving town.
Couldn't stay away, huh? I was half past Louisiana when I found out you invaded our home.
What have you done with Hayley? You're so hot when you're angry.
Uh! You used me.
I'm pretty sure that was mutual.
Beguiled by your charms, I slept with you like a fool, led you to our home, and then you took Hayley.
Whoa, I didn't take anybody.
I already sorted this out with your brothers, but it begs the question, why'd you come back? If Klaus learns it's my fault you found your way to the plantation you really think I'd rat you out? Come on.
If you think that I'd ever in 1,000 years do anything to hurt you, you got me confused with Klaus.
All your charms and flirtations simply prove you're every bit the liar and manipulator that Klaus is.
Is that what you really think? By all means, prove me wrong.
Fine.
Come on.
Something you need to see.
Don't get all judgey.
Dwayne knew what he was getting into.
He volunteered.
For you to kill him? Dwayne is a werewolf who died with your blood in his system, same blood you share with your hybrid baby.
You're trying to turn him.
That's impossible.
Been running with wolf packs all over the country.
One of them was tight with a witch.
She had nightmare visions about your baby and how Klaus could use its blood to make an army of hybrid slaves.
I am sick of these witches and the premonitions about my baby.
It's just a baby.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
That's where Dwayne comes in.
You see, he was happy to be the test case.
If you haven't noticed, these people don't have much to live for.
They'd all welcome the chance to become the superior species.
Trouble is, all hybrids are sired to Klaus.
They follow his every move.
No way I'd let that happen.
How can you be so sure Klaus knows what the baby's blood will do? What do you think? Klaus Mikaelson killer of men, women, and puppies all of a sudden wants to be a daddy, or he's got an ulterior motive.
Hybrids can walk in the sun.
Their bite is lethal to vampires.
They'll take over New Orleans by the end of the week, and you know what's gonna stop Klaus then? Nothing.
You're gonna have to feed on her.
What? No.
Aah do it.
No.
No! Aah! Aah! Dwayne easy.
You're ok.
Look at me.
You're ok.
Look at me.
Look at me.
You're ok.
I'm better than ok.
Aagh! Aagh! I'm sorry, but it's just gonna get worse.
Klaus' compulsion runs deep.
You need to think of something else, take your mind off it.
Do you like music? What? What? I can't think about music right now.
Why? I don't know.
Maybe because you're giving me a voodoo lobotomy.
Do you like jazz? Oh So what, then? Club stuff house, trance, you know nn ss nn ss nn ss I'm a witch.
I'm not amish.
It's just I'm only 16.
I don't go to clubs.
When I was 16, I'd been to 100 clubs.
God, it was only Feels like another life.
All I wanted to do was meet boys.
Things are so much more complicated.
I mean, now all I want to do is meet boys and feed on people's blood, get one of those daylight rings so I don't burn in the sunlight, all perfectly normal things.
I like the classics puccini, bach, Mozart.
I took piano, not that it matters while I'm stuck here.
Why not? Marcel is worried that someone could hear.
It's not his fault.
He just wants to keep me safe.
Safe from what? Basically, a coven of psycho witches want to sacrifice me in a blood ritual.
Oh, wow.
Ok.
Uh, I'mSorry.
Don't be.
I'm gonna destroy them all, and once the gone, everything will go back to normal.
I'll have my old life back.
It worked, didn't it? He's a hybrid.
If Klaus gets a hold of you, if he gets that kid, he wins.
Then help me hide the baby from him.
Help me run.
He'll find you.
He'll take your kid away, and he'll make more hybrid monsters, slaves who do everything he says.
Tyler, whatever you're thinking of doing, there has to be another way.
You're not like this.
Uh! Agh! D'ugh! Agh! That was stupid.
Get away from her.
What do you care? I said, get away.
You got what you wanted.
Not get lost.
Dwayne, he's gonna kill me.
He's gonna kill you, too.
He said that hybrids are too dangerous to live.
You need to stop him.
Shut up.
Uh! Uh! Agh! Uh! Huh! Forgive me.
Thought you were in danger.
It appears I was mistaken.
You will not believe the crap day that I'm having.
Let me take you home.
Elijah There's something you need to know about the baby.
Hayley, don't make this harder than it has to be.
Give up now I'll end it quick.
Quite an offer, though not one I'll be extending to you.
Klaus.
Hello, Tyler.
You look well.
I aim to change that.
Threatening a pregnant girl in order to exact revenge against me.
I never expected you to sink so low.
I admit, I'm impressed.
I used to hang out with you.
I guess something must have rubbed off.
What do you think Caroline would say if she saw what you've become? Perhaps I'll ask her when I call her to tell her of your demise.
Whatever happens to me, Caroline is never gonna stop hating you.
Come on, mate.
Give it a bit more effort.
I want to enjoy myself.
What is this place? This is the garden.
It's where I punish vampires who break my rules, but a long time ago, used to be something else.
Go on.
Tell me what you see.
Two stories, Greek columns, wraparound porch, high ceilings, transom windows.
It's lovely.
So what? So I designed it for you.
It was gonna be ours.
That this was supposed to be our happily ever after? Yours and mine, except you flew the coop with Klaus.
I already built the foundation for the place.
I halted construction after you took off.
Plan was to wait for you to return.
You never did.
So now it's where I bury the people who betray me.
You could've come after me.
You were with Klaus.
I didn't know where.
I didn't know if you still wanted to be with me.
All you had to do was come home.
It was more complicated than that.
Not long after we left here, he put a dagger in my heart and stuck me in a box for 90 years.
He stole a century from me like it were nothing.
That's what he does, Rebekah.
Klaus will never be happy.
He'll be damned if he ever lets anyone get something that he can't have.
I know.
I've been dancing to this song for 1,000 years.
Starting right now, you have a choice between the brother who takes away your happiness whenever he feels like it and the man who wants to give you everything you ever wanted.
He will kill you in front of my eyes out of spite.
Not if we get rid of him first.
Klaus must have known.
That's the only explanation.
He could care less about the baby.
He just wants her to be born so he can use her to make more sired hybrids.
Although the way that Dwayne was acting, it was more like he was sired to me.
I should take you home.
Are you serious? Home to what? Look.
Regardless of my brother's intentions, mine remain the same.
I said that I would protect you, even, if need be, from Klaus himself.
I can take care of myself.
I've done it for a long time.
Is this your idea of revenge, Tyler, grueling game of hide-and-seek? D'aagh! Rraagh! Let's end this, shall we? Raagh! Raagh! How dare you? I'm just getting started.
Aagh! You've grown bloodthirsty.
Perhaps it's best your mother didn't live to see you like this.
Ha ha ha! Yah! It's sad, really.
I thought I made you better.
Turns out, you're quite the disappointment.
Yaah! I guess I'm another one of your failures, like how you failed at making hybrids, how you failed your family.
Now it looks like you're even gonna fail your own kid.
And thus ends your tedious, little life.
At least it was brief.
Yaagh! Ugh Do it.
You're never gonna break me.
Only thing you could do is kill me.
So go on.
Go on.
Get it over with.
Ah You want me to end your suffering, don't you? Hmm? I did break you, took everything from you, and now you're begging me to sweep away the shards of your shattered, little life.
Death offers more peace than you deserve.
It's better to let you live, and each morning, you will wake knowing that your wretched existence continues only by my will.
Now go and live the rest of your days knowing you are nothing to me.
Do you know how many fools have tried to vanquish my brother? If you stand against him, he will kill you, and it will be awful and bloody, and I will not stand around and watch.
You forget I have a secret weapon Davina, the most powerful witch in the last couple centuries.
What if she can find a way to kill him? You don't know, do you? You can't kill Klaus, not without dying yourself.
We learned it from the deaths of my brothers Kol and Finn.
If an Original dies, every vampire ever made from their line dies with him.
Even if you kill Klaus, he'll still win.
It's been that way for 1,000 years.
That's his trick.
He always wins.
There's another way.
What would that be? We bury him down here forever.
Are you mad? This little chamber of horrors may work for your riffraff, but do you really think it will hold my brother? Isn't it worth the risk? You know I'm right.
Klaus will never stop trying to control you.
And I'm supposed to believe that after a century, suddenly you're willing to risk death at his hands to be with me? I want to defend my home.
I want to be free, and if that means I get to be with you, all the more reason to bury him.
Now you tell me, what do you want? There you are.
I see you found our wandering stray.
Perhaps she could shed some light on the situation.
This Would appear to be the body of a hybrid.
His name was Dwayne.
Well, whoever he was, I didn't sire him.
Any idea how that's possible? As if you didn't know.
Ah Aren't you two fast friends? Well, come on, then.
What horrible accusation have you conspired to Levy against me? Tyler Lockwood brought Hayley here to test a theory, that the blood of her child could be used to sire hybrids.
He claims you knew that.
Furthermore, you intended to use this knowledge to build an army.
And, of course, you assume it's true.
I mean, why else would I show any interest in my own flesh and blood? A heartbroken, little crybaby points his finger at me, and my own brother falls in line, eager to believe it.
How quickly you assume the worst, especially when it comes from her.
Oh, spare me you indignation.
When have you ever demonstrated any kind of concern towards Hayley or her child beyond your own selfish pursuits, and what was it you once said to me? "Every King needs an heir.
" My big brother, so you doubt my intentions.
Well, I can't say I'm surprised.
Standing beside the noble Elijah, how can I be anything but the lesser brother a liar, a manipulator, a bastard? That's all I am to you, isn't it, and to Rebekah, and judging by the way Hayley hangs on your every word, it's clear she feels the same way.
No doubt, my child will, as well.
Brother, if I we've said all that needs to be said, brother.
I'll play the role I've been given.
Agh! Klaus! Oh You two enjoy each other's company.
You'll have much to bond over once the hallucinations and dementia set in.
Consider that bite my parting gift to you both.
Oh That's it.
You're free.
Uh You're right.
I can feel it.
Before, I was always thinking about what Klaus would want me to do.
Now I'm like , "screw that guy.
" Ha! Ha ha ha! Klaus Mikaelson can suck it.
Ha! What? What's that look for? Marcel wants me to make you forget about me.
Oh, well, you don't have to do that.
I owe you my life.
I'll keep your secret.
Besides, it's kind of nice just talking to someone normal again.
You think I'm normal? I'm a 16-year-old witch living in a church attic like some kind of freak.
I'm a gay club kid who died and came back as a vampire.
Ha ha! Yeah.
Normal is kind of relative, you know? Here.
Pinky swear on it.
You don't have to help.
I can dig through the werewolf antique show on my own.
Besides, shouldn't you put some kind of ointment or something on that? The bite won't kill me.
Like Niklaus himself, it's more of a nuisance than anything, really.
Good, because I'm eventually gonna need a ride home And thanks, by the way, for staying out here.
You didn't have to.
I know, but you said the people of this village are all of the family you have left.
I can relate.
You're thinking about Klaus.
Perhaps I was too willing to condemn him.
In the 1,000 years that we have been together, my brother has committed numerous unspeakable acts, but, then again, so has Rebekah.
So have I.
So did I the last time I was in Cabo.
We all do bad things.
It's just, most people die before the list gets embarrassing, but don't for a second compare yourself to Klaus.
Heh.
It's like a freaking hotbox in here.
I'm gonna get some air.
Someone left this here.
What is it? A Bible with a family tree that goes back generations.
What are these names? Who is Andrea? I think I am.
That's the day that I was born.
I thought you were leaving us.
We both know this family can barely function without me.
Where are Elijah and Hayley? I left them in the bayou.
Why? Elijah and I had a bit of a row.
Ha ha ha! Hayley has conspired to turn him against me, and you know our brother never was one to resist a pretty face.
So one thing led to another, and I bit him, left them both stranded in the swamp.
Daggering, biting, deserting.
Does your wickedness ever end? My wickedness is self-preservation, and I wouldn't have to go to such lengths were I not beset on all sides by incompetence and treachery.
Now that Elijah has abandoned me, I'll be needing you in my plot against Marcel.
Don't expect to be leaving town any time soon.
Why should I help you after what you did to Elijah? You're my family.
Besides, who better to spy on Marcel than the girl he so clearly loves? You can tell me all his secrets, like how did he find us here, huh? Any idea about that, little sister? How should I know why Marcel does what he does? You think I don't know about your engineered run-ins all over the quarter? I know you've had private chats with him.
So just tell me what secrets he's confided to you.
Is he plotting against me? My poor brother, so paranoid.
Marcel knows nothing.
He is not plotting against you.
He simply thinks you're in a quarrel, in need of making up.
Perhaps we will.
After all, you know I'm capable of forgiving those who disappoint me soon as they've seen the errof their ways and suffered for them.
You'd do well to remember that.
You never let me forget.
You want to make a deal with me, you got to offer me something.
I already know about Hayley the werewolf girl.
What else you got? What if I told you that werewolf girl is carrying Klaus' child And if that baby is born, it'll mean the end of the vampire species?
