The Originals s02e10 Episode Script

Gonna Set Your Flag on Fire

Previously on "The Originals" I assume I have the misfortune of speaking to my mother.
I have come to heal our family.
I will undo everything that has been done, thereby giving you a new life.
Well, I'd prefer you both to join me against our mother, but I'll happily settle for one or the other.
I will not stop until every single vampire in New Orleans has ceased to exist, and I will show no mercy to anyone who dares stand with them.
My wolves I think I figured out a way to release them from the witches.
I have to marry Jackson.
Hello, mother.
I believe you're offering a deal.
Your beautiful soul will live on in the body of another.
You must be feeling a little twitchy.
That's what happens when you're in transition.
I couldn't stop the spell.
You swear she's safe? Perfectly.
I'm Rebekah Mikaelson! Hi, honey.
Mama's here.
Ohh.
It has been said that all love begins and ends with she who gave us life.
A thousand years ago, my mother turned us into monsters, yet still she claimed to love her children, even as she vowed to destroy us.
The noble Elijah, tormented by long buried, shameful secrets.
Aah! Aah! Kol, the wily troublemaker Out for no one but himself.
Finn, the devoted acolyte, his love all too easily warped by our mother's sick hate.
Fierce Rebekah, willing to risk everything on the chance that she might one day find happiness, and me, the bastard child, my mother's greatest shame.
Now finally, we have defeated her, giving her the choice she never thought to give us, to live on as one of the monsters she created or suffer the slow, agonizing death she so deserves.
Um, congratulations, I guess, but right now, I'm a little more worried about Finn, considering I totally stabbed him in the back.
He won't find you here.
This is the safest place you could possibly be.
Come on.
There's someone I want you to meet.
I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our family, the little troublemaker all the fuss has been about.
Camille This is hope.
Oh, my God.
What? You said I thought she was The only way to truly protect her was to convince the world of her death.
I hope you understand once it's safe for you to leave here, our secret cannot leave with you.
She's perfect.
Ha ha.
Now that we've entombed our mother, I intend to finish making the city safe for hope, which to start means dealing with the lingering problem of Finn.
Oh.
Once he figures out what you've done to your mother, he's gonna go off the deep end.
That's exactly why we need to keep you out of harm's way.
Hayley and I will return home and take care of my wayward brother.
Elijah will remain here with you.
He's been experiencing some side effects since his ordeal as our mother's captive.
Best he stay and convalesce.
A single violent outburst at a filthy roadside cafe, and one never hears the end of it.
Well, Cami has a way with minds plagued by demons, brother.
You two can bond.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I best be on my way.
Rebekah should have already woken up in the body of angelica barker.
Once she has cut the ties with Ms.
Barker's former life, she'll make her way directly here.
You should expect her shortly.
You have no bloody idea who you're dealing with! Let me guess The easter bunny.
She tried to show them mercy.
If they've harmed her- Esther's mistake was believing there was anything left in your siblings to save.
Together, my son, we can finally destroy them.
I'm happy to hear you say this, father.
Such a powerful man.
I could use your strength.
Hey.
Thanks for meeting me here.
I ask you to marry me, you take off for 3 days.
Good thing I'm a secure guy sort of.
So you ready to do this thing, get hitched, take the plunge, slap on the old ball and chain? Whoa.
It's not that simple.
It's a mystical unification ceremony.
It's not like we can just go to Vegas.
Right.
Look.
As long as the werewolves need those rings, they'll be under the witches' control.
Now if we want to change that, we got to do this by the book literally.
We have to find a shaman who can perform the ceremony, trials to endure, devotion rituals.
Devotion rituals? Heh.
Try not to sound too excited.
I'm sorry.
This just all sounds very, um Intimate? Yeah.
It's a marriage.
Look.
I know we're kind of diving into this thing, but I think it's cool.
I'm looking forward to the getting to know you part Because I want to know you.
They're here.
Who? Come see.
What's Jerick doing here? Aiden rounded up the most influential wolves so they could talk.
About what? About them.
Amateurs.
You're the sister Rebekah.
I said as much the other night, screamed it, in fact.
No one believed me, but you do.
Why? I know a little bit about Mikaelsons jumping into other people's bodies, mostly because your mother did it to me.
So you must be that harvest girl.
Cassie, is it? I'm in a bit of a bind here, so tell me how exactly does one go about breaking out of this joint? You can't break out.
Once you're in, there's no leaving this place.
That's ridiculous.
Surely someone's gotten out.
Sure but not alive.
Settling in to your new accommodations? Well, I would have preferred me own room, but seeing as it's filled with a dusty nursery and a hybrid, thought it best not to complain.
I brought you something in honor of your return to the fold.
I believe it's your favorite, or at least it used to be La fee verte.
Ding-dong.
Wow.
The witch is dead or undead, whichever.
Cheers.
Where is she? Finn, please Join us.
My, my, you look peaky.
Doesn't he look peaky? He does look peaky.
- You feeling all right? - Don't make me ask again.
Well, I assume you're referring to our mother.
Fear not.
She's tucked away somewhere perfectly safe.
You'll never find her.
You think you've won.
Let's see how long that arrogance lasts, brother.
You wolves are here because you want freedom, and I promise you if you stay you will be free, but we need as much help as we can get.
My vamps and I are willing to stand with you against the witches.
In return, all I want is a promise, that there will be peace between our sides after the wedding.
You're the one who spent the last 100 years killing and cursing us.
Which means you might want to listen to what I have to say.
I see you're brokering a truce Between mongrels and parasites.
Now just how long do you really think that's gonna last? A month, a week, a day? What you don't yet seem to understand is that the only thing that can exist between your two degenerate species is hatred, war, and death.
Aah! But I imagine given a little time confined together that you'll come to see things the way I do.
Did he really just trap us all in here? He certainly did, which means we have a witch problem.
You're a witch.
Fix it.
And the what the bloody hell do you want me to do about it? Well, considering the crowd, I think you'd be more motivated to find a solution.
After all, I can easily outwait our brother's antics.
You on the other hand might find yourself looking rather appetizing to some of our fellow prisoners.
I'm gonna need some help.
Josh and Aiden are gonna check doors, windows, any other entrance.
Maybe he missed something can you get them to manage this guy Jerick's attitude? Gia, I want you to do two things for me.
Yeah? First, knock it off with the tough girl routine.
I'm serious.
Don't underestimate those wolves.
All right.
You're new, but they have a long list of reasons to hate us.
Sorry.
You're right.
What's the second? I want you to help watch our guys, all right, make sure nobody starts looking for trouble.
So you got any brilliant ideas on how to keep this under control? What people in new Orleans have always done when trapped in close quarters with mortal enemies Drink and hopefully blow off a little steam.
Ahh.
Rebekah, it's me again.
Please call.
Yahtzee! Ha ha! If there's one thing I've learned about you people it's that there's always a bottle of booze around.
You want one? Sounds delightful, and after that, Camille, then what? We have another, then another, perhaps another after that, another after that? Before long, I find myself opening up to you or bearing my damaged soul, as it were? It's an old trick, Camille, not a particularly clever one.
You mother really did a number on you boys, didn't she? Has it ever occurred to you that I am less interested in fixing your problems and more interested in forgetting my own? I mean, I'm basically in a supernatural witness protection program because your psychotic brother, who by the way I practically had to seduce, wants me dead, so, yeah Booze and board games is pretty much where I'm at right now.
Here's a question.
"What was the name of don quixote's horse?" This is absurd.
Fine.
Dumb idea.
How's Hayley? You two seemed close.
Rocinante.
The horse's name is rocinante.
Worried about your wolves, or perhaps the source of your anxiety is a little further from home.
How is Elijah, by the way? I'm sure he found your visit most curative.
Eww! No.
That obvious, huh? Ahem.
Well, you both had a certain glow about you all morning.
Frankly, I'm glad the two of you dropped your pretenses, and, uh, shall we say, let the spirit move you.
Ok, ok, ok.
Stop.
Enough.
This family's weird enough already.
You're feeling guilty, aren't you, wondering if you should tell your betrothed things he doesn't need to know.
For all the poems written on the subject of unrequited love, there are so few on the pain of being the object of that affection.
The truth is, Hayley, it's not love on which the strongest foundations are built.
It's the decency of merciful lies.
They say this place is haunted.
How could you possibly tell? There's lots of versions of the story, but they all start the same way with Astrid Malchance and Mary-Alice Claire, imprisoned here over a century ago by your brother.
Then the coven started to put others here, too, ones broken by magic, witches like me.
So that's it then? They just lock you lot up and throw away the key? Wait! I didn't! No! No! Nooo! Who are the creeps with the scars? They call themselves the kindred.
Years ago, they got obsessed with dark magic, necromancy, immortality spells.
So their coven locked them up here.
Since then, they kind of put themselves in charge.
What about our magic then? We're still witches, right? All we need to do is send a little distress signal.
Careful, careful.
It's nasty.
Pretty girl to the rescue, eh? You ready? What just happened? I assume that means we're all free to go.
No.
The spell's locking us out.
Vincent must be channeling something, a dark object maybe.
Oh, you should have seen them.
They were so They were so confident in our defeat.
But I assure you, father, they have no idea what they're up against now.
"What 3 European countries begin with the letter a"? 'Albania, Austria, Andorra.
Aw! Ok.
All right.
Hey.
"Who was the only U.
S.
President to earn a ph.
D?" The tedious woodrow Wilson.
"Who rode secretariat to the triple crown in 1973?" Ron Turcotte.
No! I refuse to believe that you just happen to know that.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Elijah.
Here.
Ohh.
Ok.
"Who was" Elijah? Hey.
Are you ok? Hey, Elijah.
I'm not as fragile as my brother suggests.
Rebekah, where on earth are you? I see.
No.
I must have been dialing the wrong number.
Forgive me.
What do you mean she's gone? I just received a call from angelica barker, who is still very much herself.
Stay where you are.
I'll handle it.
Everything all right? It will be provided you found the solution to this little quandary of ours.
Well, I might have.
I'm not sure you're gonna like it, though.
I'm not sure we have a choice.
There are things that we need from Lycee, which means we need it clear of Finn, and knowing him, there's only one thing that will distract him for long enough.
And what's that? If you tell him where to find our mother.
Hayley, what's going on? We need to talk.
Are you ok? Yes.
Uh, no.
I mean, I was just thinking that if we're gonna go through with this marriage then I want to do it right and I want to be honest with you.
The last couple of days when I was gone, the truth is I was with Elijah.
Ok.
No.
I mean, I was With Elijah.
Are you in love with him? Right.
Guess I already knew that, didn't I? It doesn't matter how I feel, Jack.
This isn't about me or you.
It's It's a sacrifice.
That's not what I said.
No.
Hayley, you didn't have to.
You really think there's a way out up here? Uh, nope.
Not a chance.
One of the vamps even tried climbing up on the roof.
No dice, but I figure as long as we're trapped here in the witch bubble of Doom We might as well make the most of it.
Josh.
Come on.
Someone might come up.
So? I don't really care if anyone sees me making out with my boyfriend.
And I totally just called you my boyfriend.
Yep.
So that happened.
Look.
The wolves don't know about us yet.
And please tell me that I did not get murdered and come back from the dead just to get shoved back in the closet.
No.
No, no, no.
It's not that.
It's just Come on, you're a vampire, and, you know, it's great that your friends are cool with this, but it's different for the wolves.
I mean, you don't know how Marcel and his vampires made us suffer.
No.
You're right.
I don't because I had nothing to do with what happened back then.
Yeah.
Well, trust me.
You were the bad guys.
Unh! Josh? Josh? Something's wrong.
Are you ok? I-I can't be up here with you right now.
Whoa, hey.
Slow down.
All I can think about is blood.
It's like when I first turned, only 100 times worse.
Whoa! Gia.
Unh! Your vampires seem to think it's lunchtime.
What is it? They're not the only ones who are hungry.
It's all of us.
Yeah.
Like, supersized hungry, and there's an all-you-can-eat werewolf buffet right through those doors.
Klaus! Calling to concede so soon? I merely seek to negotiate.
You want our mother, I want out of this bloody compound.
The economics of what comes next should be easy to grasp, even for you.
What I want, brother, is to exterminate the plague that is your kind.
What I want is to watch the flames flicker on your smoldering corpse.
What I want is to hear the silence once you finally stop screaming.
I'm sorry.
We must have a bad connection.
Could repeat everything you said after "what I want"? Oh, I'm so happy to hear that hunger hasn't yet sapped your humor, but I should warn you, brother, if those vampires even attempt to feed they'll find themselves ravenous, unable to stop, so every moment that you waste with me will only lead you to the inevitable carnage.
Esther for our freedom.
Do we have a deal? Well, I think I know better than to trust your honesty, but, yes, if I find our mother unharmed, then I might consider granting your reprieve.
St.
Roch number one, the delphine tomb.
All we have to do is just pop this message off to my brothers.
Give me your hands and lead the way.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I I can't.
The pills they give us are lobelia flower.
It makes it impossible to concentrate.
No one can do much magic here.
You're a harvest girl for God's sake! Now pull yourself together! Pran ce mesaj sa a, les mots sure le vent.
Pran ce mesaj sa a, les mots sure le vent.
Pran ce mesaj sa a, les mots sure le vent.
Pran ce mesaj Time to eat.
Watch it.
Hey! Things are getting testy out there.
Come on.
We better move this along.
Vincent's boundary is too strong, but what Davina and I can do is cast a disruption spell.
It would temporarily neutralize all magical objects in this compound, including the compound itself.
If it works, well, then it would give us 60 seconds to escape whilst the boundary is shut down.
All right, all right.
That sounds good to me.
If the spell works, it will suppress all magical objects in the vicinity.
That means your rings.
And if we go out in the sun without our rings, we're dead.
Unless you wait till nightfall.
Gah.
They're all so new.
They're not gonna be able to fight hunger.
We can't wait until nightfall.
We're gonna have a bloodbath on our hands before we even get close.
Elijah? Elijah, are you ok? Hey.
I know you're worried about Rebekah.
Elijah.
Elijah, please calm down.
Elijah, please calm down.
Kol.
I'm Rebekah bloody Mikaelson.
Who the hell are you? Aah! She was just here.
No.
You don't understand.
There was someone in my room.
There was look.
Just listen to me, ok? There was a girl, a girl in black.
She hasn't been taking her pills.
No.
Unh! Aah! Ugh.
That's disgusting.
Here's hoping you're a friendly ghost.
Mother? I thought for sure I'd find you dead.
I've come to save you.
I knew you would, my sweet child.
No.
What the hell are you looking at? You want a piece of me? Hey! Joshua You get away from him right now.
Davina, start the spell! Stu stupid human body.
I'm sorry.
I-I'll go willingly.
Finn, please.
I fought it for as long as I could.
Look at me.
I am still your mother.
I'm sorry.
I was just so hungry.
You're a hypocrite.
You speak of purification, of cleansing the souls of our family, and yet you cave to temptation rather than standing with your principles? It was your morality, mother, your conviction that awed me.
That's why I stood by you.
That's why I fought for you! I would have done anything for you, my mother, she who gave me life.
Yes.
But I know that she would want from me to finish what we started.
Aah! Davina! Ok.
Jack, now! Let's go.
Go, go.
Remember, 60 seconds! Aah.
Slight change of plans, brother.
I no longer have to treat you like anything but the treacherous liar you truly are.
What the bloody hell? Where is she? Please! They'll kill him! Well, he should have thought about that before he betrayed our sister.
Rebekah never made it to her new body, did she, and seeing as how you cast the spell and, well, you're you, I'd hardly call it an uncrackable case.
Rebekah's fine, Nik.
It was a prank, nothing more than anything you lot have done to me, but I guess it's different when it's one of y aah! Ooh.
Barrier's back up.
Those vampires look oh so hungry.
I was willing to welcome you back into my home, but you had to return to your selfish, petty, jealousies.
Well, let's see how well they help you survive when you're stuck in there! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Marcel, please.
If I were you, I would make myself scarce.
Go.
I should have known this whole thing would go to hell the moment Klaus offered me those damn moonlight rings.
God.
Moonlight ring, daylight ring.
If I never hear the word "ring" again, it would be all too soon.
Maybe just one more.
I had no right to act the way I did earlier.
You were just being honest with me, and that is something I should have done with you from the very beginning.
I love you, Hayley.
I think I always have.
Jack.
No.
Let me say this.
I-I know we're only doing this to fix all the stuff that we broke when we sold our souls for those damn rings, ok, but I-I loved you before I knew you, and every moment that I spend with you, every single thing that I learn about you just makes me love you even more.
I promise that we will turn this around for our pack.
We'll save our friends from whatever hell we've dragged them into, and that is the only thing that I can ask from you Because I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, Hayley Marshall, and forcing you to love me isn't gonna be one of them But I want to marry you, knowing everything that I know, and I-I hope to hell that you'll marry me.
I need you to trust me.
I can handle finding Rebekah.
Brother, you are asking me to do nothing? Elijah, right now, the most important thing is that you are there, protecting hope.
So be it.
I shall remain here with the Hopelessly courageous Camille.
She certainly has charisma, even if she does lack stealth.
Let me call you back.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
I just thought you had left.
I owe you an apology.
My sister's missing, my family's in jeopardy.
I am, uh, utterly powerless to help them.
This is not a state of affairs I'm accustomed to.
Perhaps I'm not weathering this ordeal as well as one would hope.
Forgive me.
If you ever want to talk about it, it's kind of what I do.
We were a family once.
I remember the love between you, how happy you were that I was your son.
I remember the day that we lost our freya and how we never got that happiness back.
I remember it all.
You should have stopped there.
Instead, you had them, the monsters you call children, and for that, you will all pay.
