The Originals s01e13 Episode Script

Crescent City

Previously on "The Originals" This town was my home once.
I want it back.
Our community is under attack.
Resurrected witches with vast power? It's the harvest.
Four girls were meant to die and be reborn.
Someone jacked that power.
I believe that when you love someone and that person loves you in return, you're uniquely vulnerable.
Celeste, she died because of me.
I'd appreciate it if you'd call me by my real name Celeste.
What about Hayley? None of my treachery will harm this family as much as your feelings for her.
This blade contains all the power I harvested from the vampires.
It will do things worse than death.
And are you ready for the final offering? Someone help me.
Thank you all for coming.
It means more than I can tell you.
We gather today for the first public service of our newly reopened church.
St.
Anne's can finally once again be the heart of our community, where we can congregate as a people united.
Here, this hour, we come together to praise God and give thanks.
The events that took place at our church were tragic.
Problem? No.
Then pay attention.
We're meant to seem like devoted parishioners.
And it is that hope in our hearts and with the help of many benefactors that allows us to be here today.
So we gather with renewed spirit made stronger, committed to the ideals of peace and love.
Amen.
Amen.
Each tomb is well cared for.
Families honor their dead with displays of affection and respect Is someone there? This tomb belongs to the Deveraux family, known throughout the quarter for their strong connection to witchcraft.
Please help me! And if you look close, these fresh bricks tell us someone in the family has recently fallen.
Let me out! Hello, Monique.
Welcome back to the land of the living.
What is it? What's going on? It's a miracle.
Monique? Ohh! Lovely sermon this morning, father.
Quite inspirational.
I wasn't expecting you to join us.
Oh, we were hoping for some word from your human sources on the recent Haitian invasion.
My guys have their ears to the ground.
And no one has seen or heard any sign of whatever his name is.
He's called Papa Tunde.
And right now, he's wandering the corridor with the power he absorbed from every soul I had buried in the garden.
So you might want to put your ear a little closer to the ground.
Or I could steer clear of whatever war is brewing between your kind and his before I find myself in I wanted to congratulate you on getting the church up and running.
I can see this is a bad time.
Nice to see you, Marcel.
Cami.
Well, don't look at me.
I tried to send her away.
Yes, Diego, what do you have for me? Uh, we got a special delivery.
Would you care to elaborate? Either our witch problems are over or they're just getting started.
Marcel.
Father.
God be with you.
Thank you.
God be with you.
Thank you.
God be with y Oh, I doubt that, but I do appreciate the thought.
Bastiana.
Toursion fou, mort de l'espirit.
Give your nephew Sean my regards when you see him in hell.
Can I get you anything, brother? A magnifying glass, a pipe perhaps? You have a theory that you'd like to share with us, Niklaus? Back in the day, the witches wanted to send a threat, they'd just kill a chicken and leave it on your doorstep.
It's rather a large and ominous chicken, wouldn't you say? Papa Tunde defeated Rebekah with ease, almost got the two of us as well.
If he was supposed to be their prize fighter, why leave him for dead in our front yard? Well, don't you all look cheery.
Listen to this A girl literally exploded from a grave today as Sabine was giving her tour of the city of the dead.
It was Monique Deveraux.
What? The tourists thought it was part of the show, but the witches are celebrating like it's some kind of bloody miracle.
Maybe it is.
They think that all hope is lost, but now suddenly a harvest girl is resurrected.
This is how we're gonna get Davina back Kill the witch who took her place.
I have a theory about who one of them could be Celeste.
I mean, it's got to be.
Davina was trying to tell us.
She was drawing pictures of Celeste.
She was warning us that a great evil was coming.
First Papa Tunde returns to settle old scores.
Now your murdered lover is back.
This isn't witches attacking vampires.
They're declaring war on us.
It's not too early for scotch, is it, with all the witches' shenanigans and subterfuge afoot.
It is entirely too early if one intends to drive, yes.
Funny.
I don't have any plans to go anywhere.
She's not safe here.
You have to take Hayley to the plantation house until this is over.
Are you worried about Hayley or whether or not you can trust me? It's precisely because I trust you that I'm asking you to do this.
Here's a novel idea Why don't you let Hayley decide for herself? Why are you dictating her fate? You know why.
Then perhaps you should take her yourself.
Well, then that would make me the very hypocrite that you've accused me of being.
Rebekah, I cannot legislate my feelings.
My actions, however So would you kindly do this for me? You know the mama wolf loves to be told what to do.
She's not gonna like it, but I will do it for you If only to end this silly quarrel between the two of us.
What the hell do you think you're doing? Listen, everybody's running off, looking for resurrected witches.
Meanwhile, I think I saw one at the church Genevieve.
What? I can't be sure.
I only caught her out of the corner of my eye.
Been with Klaus since.
But it looked like her.
And you and I both know she would have a reason to want to be back.
A lot of unfinished business, a lot of secrets that you and I don't want getting out.
I have to take Hayley to the plantation.
You need to find Genevieve and end this.
End it like we did the last time.
Tea, please.
I'm busy.
Cami, just hear me out.
You know, I came to your reopening because I wanted to try and make amends.
And then I see you talking with Klaus out in the open, like it's business as usual in the quarter.
It is business as usual.
For the past 3 centuries, the O'Connells have always tried to keep the peace.
Save me the family history.
It's all lies on top of lies.
Cami, p pour me a drink.
I have to tell you something.
Uncle Kieran, what's wrong? I'm in trouble.
What happened to your brother Sean is about to start happening to me.
What? Look, uh Look, uh, I've been hexed.
And I don't know how long I have.
Wait.
I know some people.
There has to be some sort of I don't know Antidote or Cami, I need you to promise me one thing, that when it gets bad, I need you to be as far away from me as possible.
No.
No.
There has to be some sort of way.
Of course there is.
If you want to save your Uncle's life, all you have to do is take this And make sure it ends up in Klaus Mikaelson's heart.
I thought I was gonna have to drag you to the plantation kicking and screaming.
Yeah.
Well, we all just want to protect me and the baby, right? Hey.
I'm on your side, remember? So what gives? Tonight's a full moon, Rebekah.
So what? You're preggers.
You can't turn.
Yes.
But I wanted to invite a few people over.
Of course.
Every red-blooded American werewolf will be a bundle of fur and sharp teeth tonight whilst your cursed crescent clan will be Human but only for a few hours and won't be again until the next full moon.
So I asked Josh to get a message out to Eve in the bayou.
Josh isn't dead yet? Well, good on him.
I love a nice survival story.
Who the bloody hell is that? Kegs out back, right? Ahem.
Right.
It appears you weren't going to wait for me to grant you permission to throw a kegger.
Listen, you all want me safe, fine.
I'll do as I'm told.
I'll play damsel in the glass tower.
But tonight's the one night a month that I can meet my family.
Now, you could rat me out, send me to my room, or you could help me throw one hell of a party.
Elijah.
To what do I owe the pleasure? My family needs an ally among the witches, and you've helped us in the past.
Perhaps together we can avoid an unnecessary conflict.
They may be willing to make a deal if it were with the noble Elijah.
But there will never be any peace as long as it involves Klaus.
Is that what all this is about? You want my brother out of town? I'm just telling you how they feel.
My people are scared.
They're desperate, but they're not dumb.
You have a niece on the way.
It stands to reason you'd be willing to discuss how to run him out of the city.
Let's walk together.
You can take me on one of your famous tours.
You should eat after everything you've been through.
I was dead.
But you're here now.
Aunt Sophie, what happened to mom? Your mother loved you so much.
She had faith that she could use magic to complete the harvest and get you back.
In the end, she sacrificed herself for the cause, for the witches, for you.
And do you have her faith? I lost my faith.
Then I realized that if I didn't believe, I would be letting you down.
I tried to get it back.
I tried.
Monique Deveraux.
Everyone in the quarter's been talking about you.
Classy.
You kill her mother and now you've come to threaten her? I'm not here to threaten anyone.
What do you want, Marcel? There were 3 more girls sacrificed during the harvest.
I want to bring them back.
Who are you kidding? You don't care about those girls.
You just want Davina back so you can use her power again.
I just want her alive.
He's telling the truth.
How do you know that? I can feel it.
He's loyal to her.
He's here to help.
I got your message.
Where's Kieran now? In the attic resting, praying.
He's gonna go crazy and die, isn't he Just like Sean.
And we'll still be in this stupid fight because he lied to me about the witches and vampires And you.
Camille I can see why you hate me.
Truth be told, I have done some dreadful things.
But the lies your Uncle told were meant to protect you.
He is a good man With a loyal heart.
And he is your family.
As for these witches, their attack on Kieran should be proof enough they're the enemy.
In that we are united.
Klaus This is Papa Tunde's blade.
A witch gave it to me.
Said it would cause untold pain and torment, even to an original.
She said if I stuck it in your heart, she would heal Kieran.
And yet you chose to reject their offer.
Maybe if I were more like you, I could do it.
But I'm not A monster.
I'm not stupid.
If there's a war going on, I want to be on the winning side.
Let's see what we can do about saving your Uncle, shall we? Hello again.
I'm looking forward to meeting you soon.
You've got to be kidding me.
A vampire is trying to reverse a witch's hex placed on you, and it's the cup you find sacrilegious.
Are you sure this is going to work? Not remotely.
But I can't attempt to use my compulsion to counter Bastiana's curse if the good father has vervain in his system.
Thus We bleed him out.
I never said this would be pleasant.
Just do what you have to do.
So help me God, Marcel, if you don't call me back with an update, I will kill you myself.
Oh.
I beg Your pardon.
I was expecting someone furrier.
You're one of them, aren't you? An original.
Yes.
You might want to say that with some more respect.
I suppose you'll be wanting Hayley.
Or I could just talk to you.
I'm Oliver.
I didn't catch your name.
I'm Rebekah.
Hayley, the party's here! You got enough power left to find these witches? I know the harvest was an epic fail, but I can still do a locator spell.
Before I do that, we need to make a deal.
What deal? If I betray these witches, they're gonna come looking for me.
And if I'm caught, I'm dead.
I said I'd protect you.
If you could do that, you wouldn't need my help in the first place.
The quarter isn't safe.
Vampires on one side, witches on the other.
No way am I letting Monique get in the middle of that.
In order to get her out, I'm gonna need money.
Do we have a deal? Find the witches, I'll give you anything you could ever need.
Well, come on! You can do better than that.
Sorry.
I've got a burdened brain tonight.
No, no, no, no.
Tonight is not a night for burdens.
It's to celebrate.
It's to enjoy life for the few hours that we get to live it.
It's to hug our friends, our family, and to dance our asses off.
I seriously doubt you invited us here to wait on us.
You're Hayley.
I'm Jackson.
It's nice to see you again.
You're the wolf who's been watching me.
I got to keep my eye on you, precious cargo and all.
Right.
Got to protect the miracle baby.
No.
That's not what I meant.
I don't care about the baby.
Sorry.
That came out wrong.
I mean, of course I care.
You're a labonair.
A baby, it's a big deal.
But personally, my interest is in you.
You don't even know me.
Our parents knew each other.
They were of the same people but not the same bloodline.
Now, you know how pack hierarchy works, right? Everybody has their part to play, and we had our part, too.
What part was that? You were supposed to be my wife.
So this next part of town is one of the few areas where any of the original French architecture remains.
Most of the buildings were destroyed in the 1700s, when the city burned for the first time.
Am I putting you to sleep? As surprising as you might find this, it's not every day that someone asks you to betray your own brother Celeste.
How did you know? As Davina was drawing your likeness I dared to imagine that your presence was near.
And when Sophie discovered that there was no magic in your remains, I wondered Could you have possibly cheated death by using your power to place your essence into the body of another? And if so, then who? And then I recalled the lovely Sabine.
Are you gonna continue following me, Elijah? Or do you want to talk? You know who I am.
Original vampire, always wears a suit? Your visions of my brother's child precipitated the death of the last elder within your coven Tell them what you saw.
Ensuring that the harvest ritual could not be completed Unless you were to control it.
You're playing a very long game indeed To what end? Oh, Elijah My lost love After all this time Don't you understand? I died because of Klaus.
And even after all his vindictive lies about witches led to my death, you stood by him all because of your vow, "always and forever.
" What have you done to me? It's a simple enchantment.
You needn't worry.
I'm not here to kill you, Elijah.
I'm here to teach you the error of your ways.
"Always and forever" was the greatest mistake of your life.
Drink up.
It will heal your wound.
I think you've suffered enough.
You will overcome what the witches did to you.
You will resist the dark urges of their hex.
Did it work? Ohh.
How do I know if it worked? All I know is that the vervain is out and I'm at the mercy of this murderous bastard.
I bet you find that really funny, don't you, Cami, you little I'm I'm sorry.
I don't know why I said that.
Well, I guess that's our answer.
Wait.
Klaus, where are you going? What are we going to do? I'm going to find the witch who did this.
And then I'm going to do what I do best.
I'm weaker than I thought.
You want the deal, Soph, you got to hold up your end.
I'm on a clock.
Ok.
It's working.
That's one.
I need all 3.
I'm giving you whatever I can pick up.
Keep trying.
Or don't.
Who needs a locator spell when I have all the leverage I need right here? No! Monique! You've poisoned me with a kiss.
Uh! At least you haven't lost your sense of irony.
We may have time for more.
But first, I'm going to cure you of your greatest flaw This absurd devotion to your lunatic family.
Celeste, your anger is with me.
Now, if you have come here seeking revenge Oh, I'll have my revenge, starting with Klaus.
He is gonna know pain and torment like he's never felt before Unless you choose to save him, of course.
But then that leaves Rebekah, your tragic sister.
She's about to find herself in quite the predicament.
You could save her.
But then that leaves Hayley in jeopardy.
No.
No, no Ah, this poor girl.
She has no idea how dangerous it is to be loved by you.
Oh, well.
With your body weakened by my spell, you won't be able to save them all.
You'll recover with just enough time to choose one.
Who will it be? I can't wait to find out.
Witches of the French quarter, I have with me Monique Deveraux.
What a shame it would be were I forced to send her back to the death she's just escaped.
Should you wish to prevent this Bring me the witch Bastiana.
What the hell do you think you're doing? I'm opening negotiations.
You know my rules.
We do not hurt kids.
Spare me the hypocrisy of your moral code.
It didn't stop you from killing Monique's mother.
Bastiana! I know you're close.
The stench of witches hangs in the air.
Mark my words.
I will end this girl with the very blade you meant for me.
I'm not saying it again.
We do not kill kids.
I decide who lives and dies here, Marcellus.
Aah! I'll take it from here.
I know it's a lot to take in.
You think? I just wanted to meet my family.
I never imagined I'd meet my husband from some weird-ass arranged marriage.
I guess you don't know about any of this because there was never anyone around to teach you.
The crescents aren't just any pack of wolves.
Ok? The bloodline goes back to the very beginning two families Yours and mine.
I guess that makes us kind of like royalty.
This is a joke, right? I mean, if you're royalty, where's the throne? New Orleans used to be our town.
And we lost it all because of some infighting.
The vampires came after us.
And if our families were united, we could have taken them.
So our parents decided to bring the two lines back together.
And you and I were betrothed.
I'm sorry.
This is ridiculous.
Look, obviously things didn't work out the way anyone thought they would.
Our pack made a huge misstep with the vampires when we refused to back down.
And Marcel had us cursed by a witch.
You are the last one of your bloodline, Andrea.
Or, Hayley, whatever you call yourself.
These people will follow you.
You can help them you and what you represent.
And what is that exactly? A time when things were different, when our people fought back.
And after everything you went through to find us You're the one who's gonna break our curse.
What are you talking about? Your witch friend.
She told Eve she was coming here tonight to set us free.
Wait.
What witch friend? I'm sorry.
I really do like you, but this is the deal we made.
What deal? With whom? Hayley.
Elijah, something's going on with the witches.
Listen to me.
You were right.
Celeste is back.
Niklaus, Rebekah.
You're all in danger.
What's going on? It's a trap.
I didn't make a deal with any witch.
What? Hayley, you have to find Rebekah.
And you stay with her until I get there.
Elijah, it's a spell.
They're trapping us inside.
You know what to do.
We have to get out of here.
Here.
Breathe through this.
Where's Rebekah? I don't know.
She went off with one of them.
Elijah, my friend is still in there.
On your feet.
Help me.
It's been such a long time, Rebekah.
I'm going to enjoy this.
Missing something? You won't hurt me.
I'm the only one alive who can break the curse on Hayley's family.
And Genevieve knows where your sister is.
Bastiana has Klaus tucked away someplace safe.
He's suffering horribly, I might add, and all because you chose to save the little wolf instead of your own blood.
What a horrific ending To your pathetic, diseased family.
I guess "always" isn't forever after all.
I have to go.
The moon.
Listen, Jackson, I want to thank you for protecting me, not just tonight.
I've been dreaming to thank you about meeting you, since I was a kid.
I never thought it would go like this.
Hey I won't stop until I find a way to break this curse.
I promise.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Klaus, where are you? Mr.
Mikaelson is currently indisposed.
What happened? What did you do? I did nothing.
Someone completed your task for you.
If you got what you wanted, then my Uncle Will die soon and in great anguish.
You see, dear, you failed to hold up your end of our bargain.
You chose instead to side with evil as your Uncle has done many times before you.
But take heart.
His punishment will atone for his attempts to prevent the harvest.
His suffering will purify him.
You'd do well to heed his lesson, girl.
To oppose us is to oppose the natural order.
By choice or by force, the witches of the French quarter will rise again.
We looked everywhere for him.
Tore apart the cauldron, the city of the dead.
Wherever they got him, he ain't in the quarter.
Marcel! Where is my brother? I got guys out looking for him right now.
Elijah! Klaus threw one of his classic temper tantrums, snapped my neck, tried to take on a coven of witches by himself.
He got dropped.
I don't know where he is or how to find him.
They also have Rebekah.
Every one of you will help me to find them.
I'm going to kill them all.
Come on.
We have to go.
I don't want to go.
Monique, this isn't a debate.
I just stabbed an original.
He's gonna kill me as soon as he's recovered.
Look I'm sorry for everything.
I should have come and got you before that stupid harvest.
But you can still have a normal life, one without all this crazy witch nonsense.
But I am a witch.
And I don't want to go.
Monique? The ancestors said you didn't have enough faith.
I was hoping they were wrong.
I should have known better.
Monique You tried to stop the harvest.
Please don't do this.
Now you want to run when we need to stay and fight.
Please.
I'm begging you, don't don't The four of us, when we return, we'll have enough power to rid the city of vampires, and we'll kill anyone Who doesn't keep the faith.
Monique Please You should have believed.
Stop.
Please.
