The Originals s01e19 Episode Script

An Unblinking Death

Previously on "The Originals" Kill him.
If we can't all create some sort of community, then what's the point? Kill each other and get it all over with.
If there is no peace between us, then how can you expect others to follow suit? The city's inhabitants will not adhere to this agreement.
We have a message for Marcel Girard.
You and I were betrothed.
I guess that makes us kind of like royalty.
We made an alliance that's gonna change everything for the wolves.
An alliance with who? Klaus.
A moonlight ring to protect werewolves from the curse.
What do I have to do? I've been hexed, and I don't know how long I have.
The pills, they're not working.
These hexes, they start with magic.
They alter the very chemistry of the brain.
I can't be fixed? There's only death Mine and yours.
Uh! Oh! This is the body.
This is the blood.
May they cleanse me of sin and preserve my soul in life everlasting.
I'd say it's a little late for that, father.
I see you still have your faith.
You stay away.
If only it could save you Sean, God, no! Aah! To life everlasting.
Drink.
Be gone, demon.
Come on.
Just one sip.
No.
Uh! I know who you are, you hateful bitch.
Oh, Sean, I tried to help you.
I tried to save you, but this city This city is full of monsters.
Uh, yeah.
Trust me, I know.
Remind me to never piss off a witch.
Aagh! Help me lay him on his side.
Cami.
Uncle Kieran? What do you want from me? You saw that, right? It was just for a second, but it was him.
I don't know, Cami.
I mean, maybe he's still in there underneath all the crazy, but the crazy is pretty thick.
Maybe he just needs a shock to his system, something to wipe the slate clean.
Josh, I think I have an idea on how to fix him.
Can I help you find something? Yes.
In fact, I believe you can.
I'm looking for a book about yay big filled with our mother's most powerful spells.
It appears to have been misplaced.
How very mysterious.
Indeed.
At first, I feared the witches had succeeded in their efforts to obtain it, but considering their last attempt ended with me relieving a rather large, tattooed gentleman of his hands, I began to wonder if the thief wasn't a bit closer to home.
Don't make this harder than it needs to be, brother.
Well, admittedly, I did have a theory that your sudden interest in mother's grimoire was in some way related to whatever foolishness you've been conducting with the crescent wolves.
Therefore, I took it upon myself to carefully place it where naughty, little fingers could not pry.
And here I thought you, of all people, would understand, I am simply trying to help those wolves, play samaritan to the abused, champion to the underdog, so to speak.
How splendidly noble of you.
Have you ever considered that, like you, I am trying to keep Hayley safe, using our mother's magic to empower her people so they are capable of protecting her? Yes, unless, of course, they decide to seek retribution for decades held in exile, and Hayley will find herself in the middle of an uprising, one that will only provoke further violence.
You see, you risk turning New Orleans into a war zone, brother.
I won't let that happen.
The drums of war were beating long before we returned.
I suggest you use a little less of this and a little more of these.
Mm Uh-uh.
No way.
Cami, Josh told me how bad things have gotten.
I should be there for you.
Just let me help.
How, by getting yourself killed? You have a target on your back, Marcel.
The last thing I need is for you to get hurt because of me.
I'm more worried about you.
Kieran is dangerous.
I got this.
You come here, I'll throw you out myself, all right? I mean it.
What the hell? Oh, ok.
Yeah.
Totally see how we got kind of a crime scene vibe happening here.
Just don't freak out, ok? Hi.
I'm Dr.
Sheski.
Just gonna get your pulse.
Aah! Hah! Think very carefully before you speak.
The sound of your voice is likely to make me regret what mercy I've shown thus far.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
I'm on your "who's been naughty" list.
Thing is, Cami needs you.
Whatever anger you have towards me, don't make her suffer for it.
She's with Kieran.
I'm gonna have to let the authorities know what the hell is going on here.
Josh? Oh, right.
Dude, be cool.
It's just a priest hexed by a witch because of some vampires.
Accept that these things are real, then forget them.
I mean later.
You forget them later.
Crap.
Ah! Ok.
Let me start over.
Dr.
Sheski, my uncle needs to be sedated, something strong.
Sedation? He looks like he should be in an ICU.
Yeah.
See, this other witch put this boundary spell on him.
So he's kind of stuck in here.
This man is malnourished, severely dehydrated.
Which is why you're here, but first, doctor, what do you know about shock therapy? ECT? First, it's incredibly dangerous.
But it has been known to help treat cases of extreme psychosis.
Answer the nice lady.
We don't fully understand it yet, but, yes, in some patients, using electrical current to induce seizures can subvert a psychotic episode, in effect, rebooting the brain, but only in the most extreme cases, do we even consider Like my friend said, we're talking about a priest hexed by a witch.
I don't think it gets any more extreme than that.
That's it.
Inhale and release.
I guess this means no epidural, huh? You sure I can't do this thing in, say, a hospital, the place with the doctors and the drugs? Honey, the werewolves have been having babies out here since before you were born.
Stop worrying.
Ok.
Then what, Eve? I don't even know what it's like to have a mother, let alone be one.
Trust me, when the time comes, you'll know exactly what to do.
I hope so.
As fun as it is to image Klaus changing dirty diapers, I'm pretty sure that I'll be doing this alone.
I somehow doubt that.
Pardon the interruption.
I wonder if I might have a quick word with the conspirators of a supposed uprising.
You're making a grave mistake.
So you're just worried about us.
Is that it? Look, Elijah.
We know all about your brother's reputation, but if there is even a chance that these rings can help us take control of our curse Our gift.
Then, honestly, we don't care what he's really after.
Won't have to.
I see.
There are those in the quarter who will consider this a great provocation.
Apparently, most of them see us breathing the same way.
You signed a pledge, and you looked me in the eye as you did so.
We don't want a fight, Elijah.
We just want a better life.
Allegiance with my brother will guarantee you anything but that.
What the hell? Which one of you is in charge? Who's asking? Waah! Hayley, are you ok? It's ok.
Here.
Come here.
Oh, God.
Jackson? Here.
Get him away from here.
Come on.
Hayley.
Elijah.
Wolfsbane.
It must have been in the gas tank.
You're the fastest.
Take him, anyone else who can't walk in the barn.
It's ok, Elijah.
I'm fine.
They need your help.
Just hang in there, ok? Oliver, no.
Aah! Oh, God.
Press here.
Give me your shirt.
Now! It's ok.
Uh! Uh! Uh! How'd you learn how to do that? You get a hell of an education when you leave home at 13.
Ah! That should slow the bleeding at least until the healing kicks in.
Oh! Rraagh! The vampires.
They don't even have the guts to do their own dirty work themselves.
I mean, why bother when you can just compel some poor son of a bitch to do it for you? I say we hit them back hard.
Stay here, Oliver.
I need you to look after everyone until I get back.
Where the hell are you going? If this was vampires, I'm pretty sure that I can guess who gave the order.
I'm gonna go find Marcel.
There's a special place in hell for your kind.
Not the first time I've heard that one.
Well, isn't this a gruesome, little scene? Klaus, what are you doing here? I received an urgent call on your behalf.
It seems I've been tasked with doing what your coward of a boyfriend could not, which, by the looks of things, is dissuading you from whatever madness it is you're about to attempt.
Are you ready? Please, I'm begging you, don't force me to do this.
Fine.
I'll do it myself.
Camille, your uncle is a good man.
He shouldn't suffer.
He's been suffering for weeks.
He's dying, Klaus.
This might be the only chance he's got.
Aah! Aagh! Aagh! Ah! Hayley.
I have to take care of something.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Where are you? Elijah, I'm fine.
Just take care of the pack while I'm gone, please? Is she ok? Apparently, yes.
It's a good thing that bomb went off where it did.
Could've been a lot worse.
People could've got killed.
Unless Get everyone out of here Now! Cami What the hell did you do to me? We have to do it again.
Whoa, are you serious? That was something coherent.
It's working.
Doctor, see to your patient.
You get away from me.
Heartbeat is irregular.
We can't keep this up.
It'll kill him.
No.
Cami, we need to have a word in private.
I think you need to prepare yourself.
This story does not have a happy ending.
But the treatments Will kill him.
Were you to push him over the brink, I would hate for you to have to live with that, no matter how noble your aim.
So that's it, then? You just expect me to surrender? Maybe it's time Not to give up, to let go.
It's not your decision to make.
Jackson, she's gone.
Help! Somebody help.
Ok.
Hold on.
Hold on, Eve.
Gaah! Uh! Uh! Come on, Eve.
Come on.
It's ok.
You're gonna be ok.
You done got some nerve coming up in here, mama.
Raar! Someone attacked my pack in the bayou this morning, and since I don't see any genius mastermind types around here Mm! Mm Why don't you just tell me where Marcel is and we can both get on with our day, huh? Mm! You think I'm playing? There were families out there.
He used to keep a place If he's still around, he'll be there.
Uh! Um, I wouldn't stay that close to him if I were you.
He's kind of unpredictable and murdery.
This is fascinating.
Would it be possible to speak to the witches responsible? Yeah.
You don't want to do that.
Raah! Holy Raah! Aagh! Hey! Little help in here! Klaus, where are you? His wrath burns against you, demon.
I'm in a bit of a situation here, luv.
Somebody sent a suicide bomber out to the bayou this morning.
What? Where are you? I'm in the city now.
I'm fine.
I figured an attack like that must have been Marcel.
He's hated the wolves for years, and after that stunt he pulled with the witches So I tracked him down.
Thought you might like to help kick his ass for trying to blow us to kingdom come.
Would you get him out of here now, please? Make sure he remembers nothing.
Hey, listen.
I assure you, once I am finished here, you will have my undivided attention.
In the meantime, please stay out of trouble.
You don't have to worry.
Elijah is with me.
Uh Oh, no.
That wound should be healing by now.
She never killed anyone, never activated the werewolf Gene.
So she can't heal, not like us.
My blood, it could heal her.
Vampire blood? Trust me, she'd rather die.
We can't just let them get away with this.
We don't even know who's to blame.
The hell we don't, and if we don't fight back, they'll just do it again.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
I'd offer you a drink, but Sweet pad.
Oh, it's just temporary.
Friend hooked me up.
Believe it or not, I still got a few of those kicking around.
I need friends to keep me informed, to warn me when someone is coming looking to blame me for things that I didn't do.
For the record, you didn't have to work Diego like that.
You and I are long overdue for a chat.
You want to talk, talk.
Tough girl.
You're a lot like your dad in that way.
Oh, yeah.
I knew him.
I knew your whole family.
In fact, if you knew them like I did, you'd know just how many enemies they have.
Back in the nineties, it was the crescent wolves who took over the city.
They lived to throw down, and they were good at it, too.
They didn't care who they killed as long as they got more power.
So the crescent curse was your way of stopping them? How heroic.
It was either that or kill them all, and I'm not big on indiscriminant slaughter.
See, I have this thing about kids.
So I've heard.
Oh You did more than hear about it, Andrea Labonair.
You're living proof.
He's in cardiac arrest.
You might want to look away.
What the hell are you doing? Massaging his heart.
His body is shutting down.
Even with my help, he doesn't have much time.
Your blood.
If you fed him your blood, he'd wake back up, right? As a vampire in transition, yes.
As for the hex, perhaps his death will be a mercy.
Do it.
Just do it.
Please, Klaus, I can't let him die, not like this.
How long have you known who I am? I saw how interested you were in those crescents.
After your little family reunion out at the old plantation house, I started to put two and two together.
Tell me something, Marcel.
Did you kill my parents? There was infighting among the wolves.
Your folks were laying low.
Somebody turned on them.
I honestly don't know who.
I got there afterwards, found you in your crib.
Give me one good reason why I should believe anything that you have to say.
Believe whatever you want, but you were the last Labonair.
I mean, could've been a lot of leverage for our side, but instead, I took you to father Kieran.
What's that? Money mostly, stuff you need to start over someplace safe.
Whatever happened in the bayou, I'm not your guy, but the way things are going, eventually, I might have to be.
So this is your grand plan Get me out of town, and Klaus and Elijah follow closely behind? I can't say that wouldn't be a positive side effect.
So why don't you leave, follow your own advice? I was born here, Hayley.
So was I.
Guy on the bike, the bomber, word is, he had a gambling problem, owed money to the casinos, more importantly, to the humans who run them, and, Hayley, when things get bad, remember, I tried to get you clear of it again.
I'm afraid I have to go.
What happens next, after he wakes? He'll be in transition, craving blood, but I'll be back before then.
He's gonna be furious with me.
He's a priest.
I turned him into a vampire.
What kind of desperate move is that? Well, you know as well as I do, luv, he'll never go through with it.
Turning him wasn't the goal.
It was to give you a chance to say good-bye.
Klaus, will you stay just a little longer? Of course.
Is this the peace you promised? I gather my brother believes he can remove your curse.
Klaus was offering us freedom not just from the pain that comes with turning, but from the contempt we've faced our whole lives.
And what about Hayley? Want to make this place right for her, safe for her and the baby.
Cami, what happened? The hex I could feel it like a living thing inside of me.
It's gone.
Oh Oh, my God.
Yes.
You've had a trying day, father.
How best to break it to you? It appears the hex was broken by your death.
Back up.
I died? For how long? A few hours, give or take.
I'm sorry.
I just couldn't lose you, not like that.
I made Klaus give you his blood.
I see.
So the devil has a deal for me, after all.
Uncle Kieran That hunger you feel, it'll only grow stronger.
I know how it works.
Then you will soon know if you do not feed, you will die.
I know if that's the choice that I have to make, I'm dead already.
Please leave me with my niece.
I'd like a private moment to talk with her.
It's ok.
Klaus, thank you for today, for being kind.
Hey, Ollie, how do I look? You look fine, Evie.
You look just fine.
You always were a terrible liar.
Damn it.
Look.
All you got to do is just trigger the curse.
You'll heal.
It's who we are.
It's who you are.
Why can't you just accept that? Why can't anyone see what needs to be done? Living here like animals, fighting between tribes, scared to stand up for ourselves.
Who's gonna lead us, Jackson? He wants to bow down to that hybrid.
Hayley? She's not one of us.
At least now, we have an enemy to hate.
Oliver, no.
Tell me you didn't You don't understand.
Then explain it to me, Ollie.
I know you.
I know you wouldn't hurt your own people.
Look.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this, Evie.
I just wanted to make a little noise, just get our people mad, but I didn't agree to all this.
They stabbed me in the back, and now Who? Who put you up to this? You stupid kid.
Do you have any idea what the pack is gonna do to you when they find out? They're not gonna find out, Evie.
If they did, all those people would have died in vain.
I had to do whatever it took to make us strong.
Ollie, no.
I've got to do that even now.
Ollie, it's all over now.
No! No! Oh! Ollie! I'm sorry, Eve.
Mmph mmph! Everything is where you said it would be except that key you mentioned.
That's the one thing I couldn't find.
It's the one you usually wear around your neck? That key is a very important part of our family legacy.
You have to find it.
I will, I promise.
I am so sorry.
I never wanted to involve you in this, in any of it.
This can't be how it ends.
It was the only way it was ever going to end.
I made peace with that a long time ago.
Listen.
I don't know how bad this is gonna get, and I don't want you to see it.
So in a moment, I'm gonna let go, and you are gonna turn around, and you are gonna walk out of here without looking back Ok, kiddo? Promise me, without looking back.
They are counting on our doubts.
That's right! Yeah! They are counting on our fears! That's right! Right! You stayed.
Come morning, they will know that we are not cowards.
What's going on? What is he doing? We are not afraid! He's making a move for power in the wake of tragedy.
He's not alone.
There was another attack after you left.
What? Your friend Jackson will need your help.
They will want vengeance Blood for blood And, unfortunately, in troubled times, people do not look for the best But rather the loudest.
Hey! Hey! I'm surprised to see you here.
The bayou explosion, the attack on my child.
Tell me what you know.
I know the wolves have no shortage of enemies, Marcel for one.
Marcel wouldn't stoop so low.
The witches, however I have witnessed firsthand the depths of your cruelty.
You don't think I did this.
What kind of monster do you take me for? How ugly I must seem next to the pure, innocent glow of your precious Camille.
So sad about her uncle, by the way.
Kieran is in transition.
He has been released from the hex.
A hex of that magnitude? Kieran's hex will return If it hasn't already.
No! Not yet, priest.
There's more work to be done, a final offering to complete your penance, that which you hold most dear.
That boundary spell, on the other hand, now that he's died, I imagine it won't be quite so confining anymore.
Have you changed your mind? Yes.
It appears I have.
Oh! Aah! Aah! Don't fight it, Cami.
Aah! In death, we are whole again.
Ah! Aah! Bless her, father.
Kill her.
Rejoice in life eternal.
You deserved far better than this.
Uh! Klaus, you need to know I had nothing to do with that business out in the bayou today.
I never thought you did.
I'm calling to let you know the priest is dead.
Your exile is suspended for the next 24 hours.
You may return to the quarter to bury your friend.
Why are you doing this? She woke in the dark not knowing where she was Or who was watching over her.
It was your name she called, and if you can grant her comfort, so be it.
Look.
I know where I'm going.
If any of you want to follow, hey, that's up to you.
That's up to you! Kieran is dead.
Did you get it? It was around his neck, just like you said.
P.
S.
I do not feel awesome about this.
I know But people are gonna be coming after this.
Cami is not ready for that, not yet.
So what now? Storm clouds are gathering.
Someone bombed those wolves, and we know it wasn't us.
Witches, humans, vampires, wolves.
City is at a breaking point.
We need to be ready.
First Marcel's massacre, now bombs in the bayou.
I'll assume you're ready to give up this doomed treaty.
This alliance with the wolves, well, if it is to succeed, I believe you'll want this.
Seems I have Hayley to thank for your change of heart.
The rifts in this city run far deeper than I even imagined, Niklaus.
These tribes, these factions, they're families, families who choose to fight.
Mayhem has descended upon our home, and if I'm to choose a side To our victory, brother.
