2X17 Know Thy Enemy
Isobel: "Hi, you must be Jenna. I am Elena's mother.
Elena: "Isobel!"
Isobel: "Hello Elena. It's nice to see you again.
Jenna: "Again?"
Isobel: "So your the Woman thats dating my husband. I need to speak to Elena, may I come in?"
Elena: "n, n no, don't don't invite her in."
Isobel: "I need to talk to you Elena."
Elena: "No!" (shuts the door on Isobel)
Jenna: "You knew she was still alive. Ric? John? Did they know?"
Elena: "I can explain everything Jenna."
Jenna: "No."
Elena: "No Jenna please. Jenna please. Wait Jenna, Jenna please wait....Jenna you have to talk to me, I...I need to explain whats going on. Jenna, please.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alaric: "Hey, isn't she up yet?"
Elena: "She won't come out of her room."
Alaric: "what'd you tell her?"
Elena: "Nothing, she won't talk to me."
Alaric: "We're gonna have to fix this Elena."
Elena: "yeah. Hey."
Alaric: "Jenna."
Jenna: "I don't want you here Ric. you need to go."
Alaric: "Listen, I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling right now."
Jenna: "Rage and betrayal would pretty much cover it."
Elena: "Where are you going?"
Jenna: "I'm going to stay on campus. I have a thesus to write and I don't wanna be in this house."
Alaric: "Jenna please just stop, let us explain to you exactly what is going on."
Jenna: "Elena, I need you to go to the Lockwood's today and accept the historical society's check, for your moms foundation."
Elena: "Ok but Jenna, please just,-
Jenna: "I don't have it in me to hear anymore lies from you."
Elena: "Jenna please just-"
John: "Let her go. Its better that she's not here what with everything thats going on. but, if you had been a little more honest with her from the beginning this wou-"
(Alaric punches John in the face)
Alaric: "I'm sorry Elena"
Elena: (to John) "You know this is your fault.....right?"
John: "Right."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isobel: "I asked John for a do-over."
Elena: "You invited her in?"
John: "She has information about Klaus. Please.....just listen to her. ok.
Stefan: "Alright, what do you know?"
Isobel: "Since I was last here, I’ve been doing everything possible to find Klaus. We knew our best chance was to find him before he could find you."
Stefan: "Best chance of what?"
John: "Keeping Elena alive."
Elena: "You don’t get to talk, okay. Not after everything you’ve done."
Stefan: "Were you able to find Klaus?"
Isobel: "No. Nobody knows where he is. But there are these rumors that are flying around, that a doppelganger exists."
John: "Which means any vampire that wants to get in favor with Klaus will be lining up to capture you."
Elena: "I’m not buying any of this. The last time that you were here, you made it clear that you didn’t give a damn about me. Now all of a sudden I’m supposed to believe that you want to help?"
John: "Isobel’s been helping all along. Klaus has been obsessed with finding Katherine for centuries. All it would take was any one of those 1864 tomb vampires to spread the word around that Katherine was still alive, and it would bring him straight here to Mystic Falls, where you were bound to be discovered. So we killed them."
Elena: "And almost killed Stefan and Damon in the process."
John: "Yeah."
Isobel: "I have a safe-house that I could take you to. The deed is in your name, no vampire can get in without your permission. Not even me. Let me help you."
Elena: "do you wanna help? Then get the hell outta my house."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damon: "Yep. Everybody's dead."
Bonnie: "We should pack up the grimwores, they spent years collecting them. I wanna make sure they're safe."
Damon: "You know we could just get another match and cremate him."
Bonnie: "Don't be disrespectful. Not to him."
Damon: "Fine i'll bury him."
Jeremy: " What exactly are we looking for?"
Bonnie: "According to Luka's dad, one of these contains a spell that will let me harness the energy thats left behind when a witch dies violently."
Damon: "I didn't know you and father witch were so close."
Bonnie: "We weren't. But when he gave me my powers back, he gave me a message: If I could find the spot in town, where the old salem witched were burned, I can harness their energy to use when I need it."
Damon: "Great, we'll have to put that on our list of things to do today: Harness Ancient dead witch power."
Bonnie: "You know where the witched were burned?"
Damon: "Did I forget to mention that?" (smirks)
Jeremy: "Are we gonna have to read through every one of these books to find the right spell?"
Bonnie: "Not exactly............"(books fall on the ground)"its this one."
Damon: "Great. Grab the rest. Lets go"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katherine: "Nice house."
Isobel: "Nicest Four-closure in town." (laughs) "Come here..........it's good to see you Katherine."
Katherine: "I hear you've been busy.
Isobel: "Yes, I have. I have been busy making a deal with Klaus to save your life."
Katherine: "So, what was with the surprise visit to the Gilbert house, hmm?"
Isobel: "John told me Ric was dating Auntie Vanilla. I got jealous."
Katherine: “You’ve obviously got John wrapped around your finger, if he invited you in the house.”
Isobel: “He thinks I’m helping him protect Elena, so he’s been very useful in keeping me informed about everything that’s been going on.”
Katherine: "So, tell me what you know."
Isobel: "You were right, I couldn't get anywhere near Klaus, but I found my way to someone in his trusted circle. One of his witches.
"Katherine: "Klaus has witches.
"Isobel: " He said that Klaus is willing to grant you your freedom if we deliver the moonstone and the doppelganger.
"Katherine: "I can get the moonstone.
"Isobel: "You know, Katherine, you’d be betraying your Salvatore boys again."
Katherine: "I was more than willing to play it their way if I had too, but … they’re floundering. Their witch has lost her powers and they’ve used their only weapon to kill Elijah. If I stick with them, I’m dead. You showing up changes everything."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Elena: "Do you really think Isobel's telling the truth that words gotten out about the doppelganger?"
Stefan: "Look, I don't trust a word she says but, I think we'd be stupid to ignore the warning."
Damon: "You know you should just stay here. Its better for us to keep an eye on you."
Stefan: "What, in the house that any vampire can enter? no! Her house is safer."
Damon: "Well then we'll stay there."
Elena: "So is that the plan? Neither of you let me out of your sight again?"
Damon: "Let me know when you come up with a better one."
Elena: "Fine, then one of you two body guards is gonna have to come with me to the Lockwood Lunch-in."
Stefan: "That would be me."
Damon: "Not me I have witch stuff to attend to with Bonnie."
Elena: Does that mean your taking her to the-"
Damon: "shh"
Katherine: (walks in) "Don't get quiet on my account. If you have a plan to com-bat the impending vampire doom. Please do tell. Seriously....what is the plan to get us out of this mess hm? I delivered you a moonstone, a werewolf, and a dagger, to lower and kill Klaus, and right now all you have is a moonstone. of course that you tell me."
Damon: "oh we have it."
Katherine: "Where is it?"
Damon: "It's in a very safe place."
Katherine: "I've been honest with you, time to return the favor."
Damon: "I'm gonna be honest with you. don't mistake the fact that we haven't set you on fire in your sleep, for trust."
Katherine: "Fine, be that way."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeremy: "Is this the spot Emily Bennett was killed too?"
Damon: "The founders thought it was poetic, burning her where all the other witches were burned."
Bonnie: "How do you know where the witches were burned?"
Damon: "Cause I tried to save her......Emily was just my key to getting Katherine back before I knew what a nasty little bitch Katherine was."
Jeremy: (laughs).............."You sure it's the right place?"
Damon: ................(in the house....laughs) "whatever witchy little prank your playing don't, its not funny."
Bonnie: "I'm not doing anything."
Damon: "I can't move......."(burns)"ahhh uhh my rings not working, do something." (screams)
Bonnie: "I don't think the witches like you being here."
Jeremy: "I guess this is the right place."
Damon: "I'm gonna go....wait outside."
(later on...Damon tries to go back inside when the door shuts on him) Damon: "Wanna hurry it up in there? Screw you too.....Emily! You know your all on your own in there."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Damon: "Hey, how is he?"
Sherrif Forbes: "He's dead."
Damon: "He'll be fine in a couple hours."
Carol: "What are you talking about? Damon he's dead."
Damon: "Well, here's the thing. John's ring, its an old Gilbert family air-loom, that protects its owner from death by a super-natural entity."
Carol: "But he's not breathing, he has no pulse."
Damon: "He will be. Trust me. We're gonna need a cover story: Epileptic fit, Alcohol binge, Banana peel....whatever works. But right now I just have to get him out of here."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stefan: "You think this is the house?"
Damon: "Better be. Its the nicest four-closure in town."
Stefan: "I swear to god if she's not here."
Damon: "Don't be such a pessimist."
Stefan: 'I got upstairs."
Damon: "This is Isobel's stuff, its definitely the right place."
Stefan: "Where are they?"
Damon: "I don't know Stefan."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isobel: "Hi Ric."
Alaric: "Isobel........what do you want?"
Isobel: “Just cleaning up some loose ends.”
Alaric: “Yeah, we don’t have any loose ends.”
Isobel: “You may not. I do. I need to apologize to you.”
Alaric: “It’s a little late for that.”
Isobel: “No not for what I’ve done in the past. We’re beyond that. Although I am sorry for outing you to your girlfriend. That was petty of me.”
Alaric: “Look, whatever jacked up vampire amends that you’re trying to make with me right now, I’m not interested.”
Isobel: “Of course not, because I compelled you to let me go. I realize that I don’t want to do what I have to do without you knowing how much I loved you. And I did. I loved you so much......He's all yours."
(Alaric falls to the ground."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "What are you doing here?"
Isobel: "I'm creating a distraction."
(Isobel bites and kills John and John falls down the stairs. Stefan runs up to John leaving Elena alone."
Katherine: "Nice dress. Mind if I borrow it?"
Stefan: "Elena....Elena. You ok?"
Elena/Katherine: "I'm calling Damon. Its Isobel, Stefan its gotta be."
Stefan: "Tell him he has to get over here and deal with John's body."
Elena/Katherine: "He's got some serious explaining to do to the council about John being not so dead.
(Stefan pushes Katherine up to his car and says...)
Stefan: "Where the hell is she?"
(Katherine pulls out a vervain injection and stabs him.)
Katherine: "I'm sorry Stef, but I can't have you following me."
(Katherine throws him into the bushes."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isobel: "Are we good to go?"
Katherine: "I'm at your house, but you have to hurry, Damon knows your lodging tricks, it will take him all of 20 minutes to find out where your staying."
Isobel: "We'll be long gone before that."
Katherine: "Good, how far are you?"
Isobel: "I'm sorry Katherine, I had to do what I was told, he wanted the moonstone and he wanted you."
Katherine: "He? He who?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isobel: "Just because you can't be compelled, doesn't mean I can't force you to come with me."
Elena: "So is that what happened? You were compelled to betray Katherine?
Isobel: "If I was I couldn't tell you."
Elena: "So you lied. You did find Klaus, didn't you? He knows where I am now. Are you taking me to him? What is this?
Isobel: "My parents, your grandparents, They put it here when it became clear the police weren't gonna find my body. They visit every week and bring flowers. Even though theres no one buried here. The Isobel they knew is dead, so maybe there's a part of me thats buried here, th, th, the human part, the part that I abandoned here when I chose to become a vampire. The part that used to dream about the day she'd know her daughter."
Elena: "What?"
Isobel: "Instead you got to meet the other part. The part that would betray her own flesh and blood.
(phone rings)
Witch: "I have Katherine and the moonstone......is the doppelganger safe?"
Isobel: "yes"
Witch: "Then let her go."
Isobel: "Let her go?"
Witch: 'Klaus has everything he needs for now, your part is finished. You did what he compelled you to do."
Isobel: "I'm done?"
Witch: "Your done"
Elena: "Who was that?"
Isobel: "I'm so sorry Elena.......I was such a disappointment to you."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
