The Originals s01e18 Episode Script

Previously on "The Originals" This town was my home once.
I want it back.
The city grew accustomed to having a King.
You wanted this throne.
If you won't do anything, I will.
Kieran's the only family I have left.
I'm tired of being alone.
You're supposed to be a harvest girl, but maybe you don't belong here.
A battle is brewing, T.
While everyone's busy choosing sides, I'm gonna find a way to take back our city.
Daylight rings shield vampires from the sun, so why not a moonlight ring to protect werewolves from the curse? You made a deal with Klaus Mikaelson? We could finally control what we are.
The humans who hunt us, the witches who curse us, the vampires who hate us, we wouldn't just be their equals.
We'd be their superiors.
You're up early.
After the night we had, I expected you to sleep in.
Yes, well, morning sun offers the best light.
Hold still.
I'm almost finished.
In my last life, I was far too modest if I was in the nude.
Well, then consider yourself much improved.
Modesty is for the weak.
Well, are you gonna show me? The painting is a gift.
A token to honor our pact.
Our pact? We had such a lovely night and now I see it was all a means to an end.
A rather delicious means to a mutually beneficial end.
Tell me.
Beyond the pleasures of last night and the promise of what I'm sure is an exquisite painting, what exactly would a french quarter witch gain from aligning with you? Well, the treaty my dear brother negotiated between the warring factions of this city, the one that you yourself signed.
No doubt everyone means well, but this is after all Still the french quarter? A borough rife with natural enemies.
What you and your witches need is the protection only I can provide.
No one not vampires, not werewolves, not even my brother will dare trifle with you if I am on your side.
And in exchange I am to offer you what, exactly? All I ask is for the promise of your allegiance.
One never knows when a powerful witch might come in handy.
Well, then.
[Women chanting in french.]
Aah! Sine la quatrieme puella leve, comme Genevieve ceciderit.
Sine la quatrieme puella leve, comme Genevieve ceciderit.
Monique, are you ok? Monique, you sounded like you were possessed.
I wasn't possessed.
I was channeling the ancestors.
They say it's time to complete the reaping.
To do that, the fourth harvest girl must be resurrected, which means it's time for Genevieve to die.
[Drill whirring.]
Enough with all the racket! Is there a problem, brother? Gentlemen, please.
I agreed to a general sprucing up, not a bloody 3-ring circus.
Marcel and his minions abused our home for the better part of a century.
Now, you might be content to live in squalor.
I'm not.
I agree with your brother.
It's a new era in the french quarter.
This place could use a makeover.
Careful, Elijah.
When this one agrees with you, it's a sure sign she wants something.
Actually I do have a request.
I'm told our coven hasn't been able to celebrate feast days in the open since Marcel restricted the use of magic.
Now with the new peace, I'd like that to change.
Am I to assume that you have a certain feast day in mind? The fete des benedictions.
Feast of the blessings.
In the past, members of the community offered witches gifts in exchange for blessings.
We'd like to use it as a forum for introducing our young harvest girls to society.
So your coven attempted to destroy my family and you yourself held my siblings in unspeakable torment.
And you would like a party for the witches.
[Klaus chuckles.]
I made my amends with your brother.
Why don't you think it over? Oh, don't be such a stiff, Elijah.
The tourists love a good festival.
Besides, what better way to cement the solidarity than a show of faith toward a onetime enemy? A onetime enemy with whom you've grown rather nauseatingly intimate.
Who said maintaining alliances can't be fun? One would think you'd be a little more interested in attending to the needs of the mother of your child.
So she's the reason behind this oh-so-thoughtful renovation.
Elijah, the truth is the mother of my child is werewolf royalty.
She's far safer in the bayou with her pack than she would ever be here with us.
Don't worry.
I'll bring her home before the birth.
No child of mine will be born in a swamp.
Hayley: You've gotta be kidding me.
Seriously, what is going on? Who are all these people? Why are they standing out here all weird and lurky? They've come from all over.
All the packs.
Why? To see a baby that isn't even born yet? Forget the baby.
These freaks, they come here to see you.
Oliver: You know, given the place your parents held in pack hierarchy, maybe they think you're gonna be the long-lost werewolf messiah or something.
Great.
No pressure or anything.
[Telephone ringing.]
Hello? Oliver.
I trust you have an update on the matter we discussed.
Yeah, um About that.
We got wolves coming in by the truckload right now, so it's gonna be a little tricky to find us one guy.
I mean, all you gave me was a first name.
Yes.
His name is Cary.
He's got blond hair and blue eyes.
He's one of my clan A distant relative from the northeast Atlantic pack.
His presence is required if we are to continue with our plan.
You find him and you bring him to me.
All right, fine.
I'm on it.
Another thing my brother will soon invite you to a feast honoring the witches.
You and your friends will graciously accept the invitation.
Why the hell would I do that? Because if Elijah believes his treaty is working, he'll be less inclined to get in my way.
[Music playing.]
What do you want? I formed an alliance with someone who may be able to help your uncle.
Let me guess.
Tall, redhead, axe to grind? Those resurrected witches are the ones who hexed Kieran in the first place.
Why would she want to help? Because it's my decree that she does.
I believe the words you're looking for are "thank you.
" By all means, say no if you have an alternative.
No.
Wait.
Do whatever you have to do.
Just help him.
Thierry: You wanted me to keep an eye on Klaus.
I did.
If you ask me, this is a good thing.
Him fawning all over a girl you've got wrapped around your finger helps us.
I don't want Cami getting hurt.
She's already got witches spying on her.
Do you have any idea what Klaus is gonna do when he finds out that we hooked up? Not my problem.
The thing we need to worry about is what his hybrid ass is up to.
He's got something going on with the witches, and he's doing it behind Elijah's back.
Whatever he's up to, if I can find proof Oh, you'll what? You're gonna rat him out to his older brother? You're gonna turn them against each other? You're exiled from the quarter.
Elijah even smells you coming and you're dead.
You don't know them like I do.
They're half turned against each other already.
drama, pride, guilt, envy, all built up like a powder keg.
All you have to do is light a match.
Then where do we buy matches? Look around, Marcel.
We have nothing.
I started with nothing.
Hell, things didn't get rolling until I turned you.
You and your music and the whole city for the taking.
Those were the days, T.
Let's go get them back.
And who put you in charge? I communed with the ancestors.
They said it's time for you to sacrifice yourself.
Of course.
It will be an honor to fulfill my duty to our coven.
But it's not quite my time yet.
The ancestors were very clear.
We need for you to die so our community can have the full power of the harvest.
Careful, Monique.
Not so long ago, I was one of those ancestors.
A spirit forced to watch as little by little, witches surrendered everything to vampires.
We may no longer live under Marcel's thumb, but I for one don't particularly enjoy answering to Elijah, either.
Before I take my leave, I'd like to ensure that you have the power to control your own fate.
The Mikaelsons' mother Esther was a powerful witch.
Her spellbook contains enchantments that we can use to our own ends.
I can steal it for our coven and we'll never be held in subjugation again.
You'll have your sacrifice But I have things to do before I die.
You want us to go to a witch event on bended knee and give them a gift? I'm sorry, but I just remembered.
We're busy doing just about anything else that night.
Diego, this isn't a request.
Your name is on that treaty.
Now, if you have any difficulty whatsoever with your newfound position, I'd be more than willing to remove you.
I never thought I'd see the day.
Vampires bowing down to witches.
I see it as a demonstration of strength Acknowledging a lesser faction.
But you're not asking, are you? I see it's true what they say about you, Elijah.
You make even strong-arming seem noble.
Well The tourists do eat this stuff up.
Can you imagine what they'd think if they suddenly found out it was all real? I take it you want me at the public show and the private party afterward? That is correct.
I'd be happy to attend.
And in return, you will owe the humans a favor.
Your people are uniquely poised to set an example for the rest of the french quarter.
Elijah: Which is why it's important for the wolves to attend.
Thanks but no thanks? Let's hear the man out.
The witches are the ones that cursed your pack.
And they've been nothing but crap to me since I first came to town.
No.
We're not going.
It's a new day in the quarter, Hayley.
I agree with Oliver.
If we're gonna coexist, we have to play ball.
We'll send a representative with a gift.
That was too easy.
Don't trust him.
Don't trust any of them.
Oliver: You don't stop squirming, I don't care who you know, I'm gonna kneecap you right here.
When I asked you to bring Cary to me, it was as my guest.
Might I recommend you release him before I opt to release you from your mortal coil.
I found him like you asked and he jumped me.
Now, his pack's been going at mine since the beginning of time I don't owe him a thing.
You see, it's that shortsighted attitude that led to the demise of the werewolves.
I'm pretty sure Marcel and the witches did that.
The packs should have been united.
Marcel saw that weakness and he exploited it.
If you seek to rebuild with only the crescents, you may as well stay in your hovels in the bog.
I don't believe we've had the pleasure of an introduction.
Legele says you're descended from our line.
The legends are true.
Come here.
I understand that this ring was passed down through generations of our family.
I need to know what stone it housed.
I never saw it with a stone.
Could you ask around for me, mate? Hmm? See what you can find out.
Diego: You can't just start a revolution all on your own from exile across the river.
I mean, like it or not, Elijah's plan is the new reality.
Elijah's got you bowing down to witches.
How long until you're kowtowing to werewolves? Right.
And who's gonna lead this rebellion, huh? You? I got a few ideas.
I remember the last time I stood with you against an original.
Didn't go so well.
All we gotta do is show that we won't bow down.
Make enough noise, they'll leave.
I figure we can be a lot louder if we're in it together.
Look, Elijah Mikaelson's a dick, no doubt.
Thing is, with him at least I know where I stand.
Marcel: Do you? We've been watching Klaus.
Making deals with witches, holding secret meetings with werewolves.
You can't trust these people.
You're the one who picked up Klaus' coin.
You, Marcel.
Maybe T's got a short you're the one who memory, but I don't.
You're a coward.
Thierry: Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! When I picked up that coin, I was saving your ass.
Klaus was gonna kill all of you.
A good leader knows when he's gotta fight another day.
Now that day's here.
I'm ready.
You gonna fight with me? With what? Huh? Look around.
All you got is Thierry and a whole bunch of talk.
You guys don't seem to get it.
You lost, all right? I picked the winning side, so if you want to start a war You're fighting against me.
Time we got more persuasive.
[Door creaks.]
What is this? High School? Why don't you take the hint and mind your own business? This is my pack.
That makes it my business.
Jackson: No need to get all riled up.
It's not good for you, Hayley.
I have tried no need to get to play nice.
The last month of pregnancy is all hormones and mood swings, so unless you want me to snap your arm like a twig, I suggest that you tell me what is going on.
Oliver: You can go to hell.
Jackson: Knock it off.
There's no reason to keep it from her.
I can think of a reason.
Tall and immortal and wears a pocket scarf.
Uhh! Hayley, you're one of us.
You deserve to know.
Go on.
We made an alliance That's gonna change everything for the wolves.
An alliance with who? Klaus.
Tell me everything.
You came all this way to beg for some human's life? Father Kieran's time is running out and he has been an ally to me.
Your ally, and Cami's uncle.
Sorry.
As I've already said, there's no way to undo that hex.
Oh, come on.
You and I both know there's always a loophole.
Not for this.
At least not among my people.
Although I do wonder.
Your mother was powerful.
She would have had access to all manner of spells.
Perhaps I could take a look through her grimoire.
You want to use father Kieran's ailment as an excuse to look through my mother's spellbook.
Very devious.
Come on.
The grimoire is worthless to you.
But with its power, I could solidify my place in the coven.
No, I'm sorry, love.
It's bad enough my mother's power was consecrated with your ancestors.
The last thing I need is for you to get a look at an entire book of her dirty, little tricks.
That's unfortunate.
Particularly for poor father Kieran.
I guess you'll be the one to tell Cami.
You think you have leverage over me? I will not be manipulated.
[Whispering indistinctly.]
[Groaning.]
And I won't be threatened.
So, between the two of us, we each know where we stand.
As long as we can retain that mutual respect, I don't see a need for any further demonstrations of power.
Don't call me again.
[Music playing.]
[Crowd cheering.]
It's time.
Klaus will be at the event, which means the compound will be empty.
You know what to do.
Now, in accordance with the fete des benedictions, the witches of New Orleans bless you all.
[Crowd cheering.]
Klaus: A little too easy, isn't it? I've been expecting you.
You're late.
[Music playing.]
Davina.
Elijah.
It's lovely to see you.
And under far better circumstances.
Is it? My friend Tim is still dead and your brother's still breathing.
Davina, that's enough.
Elijah has been a patron to us this evening.
We will show him respect.
Thank you for all of this.
This isn't for you.
You know as well as I that your people would never accept a truce unless we showed them some respect.
So be it.
Enjoy your party.
Strange.
I thought you'd be in the company of your colorful friends.
Oh.
You asked for a representative for the werewolves, so take me or leave me.
Is something wrong? These people came to praise witches.
What has she done to prove herself worthy? She's a harvest girl.
Like you.
Our power is a gift from the ancestors.
I've had to make sacrifices to honor that gift.
I lost my mother.
My aunt.
Davina has done nothing but stand against us.
She just needs a little lesson.
If there's one thing I'm good at, it's putting people in their place.
[Clinking.]
Welcome.
As is our time-honored tradition, you are all welcome to deliver your offerings.
It is our custom that no one should be turned away, no blessing be denied.
Cami: Do you get any gifts? What are you doing here? Technically, I'm crashing, but it's you I came to see.
Don't worry, I just want to say my piece and then I'll leave.
Here.
And what is this? An offering, from me.
I know we have no reason to like each other, but I want to honor what Elijah has built.
What my uncle worked for.
Oh.
So this is about your uncle.
Like I said, I know you have no reason to help me, but Klaus said a long time ago, you were cheated out of life, and if I can't help him, if you can't help him, neither will he.
And so I'm asking you please.
Klaus said you were from this era.
And I thought with your red hair I had one just like this.
Perhaps I can help you.
[Music playing.]
Josh.
What are you doing here? What, are you kidding? No way I'd miss out on your big day.
Besides, music, wind, fire The club kid in me is, like, in heaven.
You don't look like you're having much fun, though.
Hey.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Joshua.
What a fortunate coincidence finding you here.
We have unfinished business.
You need to leave here.
Right now.
Now, to be fair, you're not quite as powerful as you once were, are you? You're in no position to give orders.
Come along, lad.
Hey, can we talk about this? Davina: Josh! Klaus: Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please.
We are gathered here today to pay homage to our beloved witches, but one very special witch has been utterly ignored.
Klaus: That seems a little unfair to me.
No.
I don't want your gift.
I understand why you would reject me, given our past in truth, many of us here today have been wronged in the conflict which my brother's treaty ended.
Your friend Josh was involved in a plot to kill me.
It would be well within my right to execute him here and now.
But.
In the spirit of solidarity, and for your favor, Davina, I hereby pardon him.
Josh from this day forward, you have nothing to fear from me.
Please.
[Music playing.]
So are you gonna open it? What? What is it? It's the spell that makes daylight rings.
I hear you made quite an impression with the wolves.
My arrangement with them was supposed to be a secret, and yet you forced it out of them.
It's very bold.
As was your decision to represent them here today, on your own.
I trust you'll do nothing to harm our cause.
Are you really gonna go behind Elijah's back? What difference does it make to you as long as your people benefit? If I find out that you are playing some game, trying to manipulate us for one of your schemes You know, you've come a long way, little wolf.
I knew you were tough, I knew you were cunning, but I never knew you were a queen.
[Playing.]
Happy fete des benedictions.
We have a message for all of you from Marcel Gerard.
[Crowd murmuring.]
Control yourselves.
This is a vulgar trick.
We do not violate our agreement.
[Shouting.]
Hey! - Elijah? - Elijah: Hayley.
It's okay.
It's all right.
Thierry: Blood on the walls.
Pile of bodies.
All in all, I'd say message received.
Did you get Davina out first? As planned, Josh took care of Davina.
I made sure the other harvest girls got out in the clear.
That was just the warning shot.
Now we double down.
Man: Marcel! Aah! I.
And yet still you return to the french quarter.
You gonna kill me, Elijah? Go ahead.
But then you won't know what Klaus has got going with that witch in his pocket.
Oh, whatever shall I do? I suppose I could just ask him.
Yeah.
Make sure he tells you all about the secret meetings with the werewolves.
That is, if he's still speaking to you once he knows that you killed me.
Do you not know me? [Groaning.]
For your violation.
No.
No, no.
You live or you die according to my will.
Try to remember that.
[Crying.]
You left without my offering.
Your vampires ruined my party.
Oh, they're not my vampires anymore, love.
Although Marcel certainly took a page out of my book of dramatic effect.
Look, I owed Davina some consolation because I killed her first love.
I do try to make up for my wrongdoings.
As with our little quarrel earlier.
So.
Here.
I picked it out earlier tonight.
A friend of yours gave me a hand.
And what friend was that? Well, open it.
See for yourself.
Did you really think I would leave my mother's grimoire unprotected? A century ago, I dreamed of what it would be like to know you.
Now I'm glad I didn't.
I might have been naive enough to fall for you, or fear you, but I learned a lot in death, and trust me, Klaus Mikaelson: It's you who should be afraid of me.
Pity.
I will miss the sex.
Your friend Cami showed up tonight.
Her offering was quite sweet.
So I gave her hope that I would lift Kieran's hex, but there is no hope.
Or if there was, there isn't now.
If the priest dies, then believe me, you will follow swiftly after him.
[Chuckles.]
It would be foolish of you to kill me, a potential ally, in defense of some powerless human who is, by the way, sleeping with your enemy Marcel.
Hayley: I've learned my lesson.
At first I was against your plan.
I thought that we should just live with Elijah's treaty, but after that party, those innocent people.
There will never be a peace.
The weak will always be at the mercy of whoever is calling the shots.
It's survival of the fittest.
We need to protect ourselves.
And we we need to protect each other.
We need to use Klaus' help while he's still willing to give it.
But Jackson From now on, you have to tell me everything.
And no matter what We do not trust Klaus.
Well, I see that you've already avenged the little wolf.
But judging by your look, you're still out for blood.
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, then surely my quest for your salvation ranks me as one of the maddest of men.
Come on, then.
What horrible deed has the bastard done this time? Do you know, in the past, I actually appreciated the methods to your manipulations.
However, now here we are, poised on the brink of a new era which will benefit not only your home but your child, and you go behind my back to conspire with wolves.
Conspire is hardly the word I would use for a family council.
Lest you forget, Elijah, they are my family as much as any Mikaelson A name, in truth, I cannot even call my own.
How casually you disavow 1,000 years of allegiance towards you.
And now that I've found the remnants of my other family, am I to ignore their plight? I would've thought you'd support my desire to help them, when in doing so, I help Hayley, and the child.
Do not question my allegiance towards that child.
Oh, and I suppose your affection for Hayley has nothing to do with your tireless dedication.
Yes, you see, I saw how you cared for her tonight.
Called her name in the dark.
The zeal with which you destroy those who would harm her.
I have denied every single impulse I have ever had for that woman.
Out of some misbegotten respect for intentions that you don't even have.
Klaus: I'm warning you Elijah: I'm warning you.
I've forgiven you.
I have stood by you.
I've forsaken every single one of my desires in the name of your ridiculous redemption.
No more.
If I want something I'll take it.
And nothing nothing Will stand in my way.
Cami: Klaus, what are you I came here to apologize.
I've made a terrible mistake.
Whatever it is, you should sleep it off.
I'm sure it can wait till morning.
You went to Genevieve.
She was moved by your plea.
She may even have cured Kieran.
But I insulted her.
And as a means of revenge, she is refusing him aid.
Kieran will die because of me, and it will be a horrible death.
Why are you telling me this? Because I believe that secrets are a poison.
They need to be spat out.
Like your secret About your time with Marcel.
Isn't that what you wanted? You compelled me to go out with Marcel.
You made me your spy.
And maybe it's your fault we got together, and you're just mad because you didn't get to control it.
You tell Marcel if I see him again, I'll kill him.
[Music playing.]
[Indistinct chatter, laughter.]
You don't need to keep coming out.
I'd tell you if something was wrong.
But she's doing ok.
The girl has a natural gift for leading.
She surprised everyone.
Not everyone.
[Music playing.]
Do you want to join us? What I want Is for that girl to be happy.
Don't tell her I was here.
Marcel: This is Thierry Vanchure.
Mean-ass horn player, lover of feisty women, witch, vampire, and human alike.
[Music playing.]
[Sigh.]
I rebuilt this city with him and he always had my back.
Even when I screwed up and forgot to have his.
And now All I can do is promise you this, t.
I won't let you die in vain.
I will take back our city.
[Thud.]
Going up against The Originals? For real, no backing down? No backing down.
Monique: You failed us.
Genevieve: I told you.
It will take time.
Do you think the ancestors care about your excuses? The vampires attacked us.
We can't retaliate until we possess our full strength.
Your sacrifice is the final step.
[Groaning.]
[Gasping.]
Nous concedumus sa vie a Genevieve.
Si elle hecatage a filia de Mikaelson.
[Gasping.]
What are they saying? They told me to let you live.
But in exchange, they want another offering.
One of their choosing.
Tell me.
Whatever it is they want, I will make sure they get it.
I swear it.
It's the child.
They want us to kill Klaus' child.
