•with Stefan•
[Damon is in the study, reading through Emily's grimoire.
Stefan enters the room with an anxious look on his face.
Damon does not look up at him.]
Damon : Yeah, I got that from your 600 voice mails. (Stefan talks about Elena being kidnapped by Ana)
[Stefan strides across the room towards Damon.]
Damon : Well, then at least you know you'll see her again. (Stefan ask what if Damon's blood hasnt passed out of Elena's system)
Damon : [looks up at Stefan] Nope. You can go. Really.
[Damon lays the grimoire down and gives his attention to Stefan.]
Damon : Apology accepted.
Damon : Huh.
[Damon stands up and Stefan mimics him, looking at Damon with anxiety.]
Damon : I mean this sincerely. [Stefan nods, anticipating his answer.] I hope Elena dies.
[Damon walks past Stefan, leaving the room.]
SHEILA Bennet'S HOUSE
•with Bonnie's grams•
[Damon knocks on the front door. Sheila opens it.]
Damon : Hi there. I'm, uh, looking for Bonnie.
Damon : Oh, well do you know when she-
Damon : [chuckles] You have quite an opinion for someone who doesn't know me.
Damon : What'd I do?
[Damon takes a step closer to Sheila.]
Damon : Step outside and say that.
[Sheila stares at Damon.
Suddenly, Damon groans and holds his head which feels like it's exploding.
Damon starts to back and Sheila steps out onto the porch.]
[Sheila goes back into her house and slams the door shut, breathing heavily as she leans against the front door.]
#Salvatore Boarding House#
[Damon enters the room, leaning against the door frame of the study in the Salvatore house.]
Damon : Go ahead. Grovel again. Oh, wait no... I don't care.
[Damon leaves the room.]

•with Ana• on the benchĺ
[Anna looks glances back at him and Jeremy leaves.
Anna sits down on a bench, waiting and looking around.
Suddenly, Damon appears next to her, sitting on the bench.]
Damon : Got a hot date or are you just plan on nabbing the entire Gilbert family?
Damon : I told you. I work alone.
Damon : Stefan will come after you, you know that. For messing with Elena.
[Anna gets up and starts to walk away. Damon scrunches up his face and sighs. Its seem like Damon doesnt want let Elena die]
Damon : When do you want to do this?
[Anna smiles and turns around, laughing at Damon.]
[Anna leaves.]
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
•with Elena•
[Damon puts on his jacket, preparing to leave.
Elena enters the room and removes her scarf.
Damon looks up at her.]
Damon : I'm gonna have to change the locks. You stage a jailbreak?
[Damon picks up the grimoire.]
Elena : Stefan.
Damon : Ah, brother. Ever the white knight.
Elena : I convinced Bonnie to help you.
Damon : I doubt that.
[Elena walks around the edge of the study towards the stairs, leading to the sunken part of the room where Damon is.]
Elena : I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry we got the grimoire without you last night, because I'm not really.
Damon : Well, at least you're honest.
Elena : I was protecting the people I love, Damon. But so were you, in your own, twisted way. And as hard as it is to figure, we're all on the same side, after the same thing.
[Elena descends the stairs.]
Damon : Not interested.
[Damon starts to leave.]
Elena : Yes you are, because you were willing to work with us yesterday.
Damon : [turns around] Fool me once, shame on you.
Elena : Okay, when we were in Atlanta, why didn't you use your compulsion on me?
[Damon places the grimoire on a table and walks towards Elena, crossing his arms.]
Damon : Who's to say I didn't?
Elena : You didn't. I know you didn't.
But you could have.
You and I... we have something. An understanding.
And I know that my betrayal hurt you, different from how it is with you and Stefan, but I'm promising you this now, I will help you get Katherine back.
Damon : [groans, unconvinced] I wish I could believe you.
[Elena unclasps her necklace, takes it off, and holds it in her hand, showing it to Damon.]
Elena : Ask me if I'm lying now.
[Elena places the necklace down on a table and waits for Damon to respond.]
Damon : You know Anna won't stop, by the way, no matter what I do.
Elena : Then we'll deal with it.
[Damon picks up Elena's necklace and clasps it back around her neck.]
Damon : I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we were having fun.
I wanted it to be real.
I'm trusting you.
Don't make me regret it.
[Damon walks away.]
THE WOODS - DUKE'S PARTY
•with Elena; Caroline ; Matt•
[Elena and Damon arrive at the Woods and see over a dozen students drinking and chatting.]
Elena : The Duke party. I forgot. I hope they stay clear of the church.
Damon : Your hope, not mine.
[Matt and Caroline walk up to them.]
[Caroline intertwines her fingers with Matt's. Elena acknowledges this action.]
Damon : Long story, no time to tell it. (To Caroline)
Damon : Sure you were.
[Matt holds out his hand for Damon to shake.]
Damon : Matt, there's a reason we haven't met. You and I are going that way.
[Damon grabs Elena's arms and starts dragging her away.
Elena looks back at Matt and Caroline as she's being pushed along.]
Elena : Ah, I'm sorry, guys.
[Matt and Caroline watch them go.]
[Damon whistles. They turn and look at him.]
Damon : Brother. Witches.

IN THE TOMB
•wuth Elena; Stefan ; Bonnie; Sheila•
Damon : It's for Katherine.
Gotta have something to get her going.
Unless your girl's offering a vein to tap. [He looks back at Elena, who looks at him, unamused. Stefan sighs and Damon whispers his next sentence to him.]
Admit it - you can't wait to get rid of me.
Damon: Hmm.
[Bonnie and Sheila are reciting a spell, their eyes shut and hands interlocked.]
Damon : What are they saying?
Elena : I don't think it's Latin.
[After a few more seconds of the witches reciting the spell, the torches flare up. Elena grabs onto Stefan's arm.]
Elena : What's happening?
[The door to the tomb creaks open.
Sheila and Bonnie stop chanting and look up.]
Damon : [to Stefan] We have some fires to build.
[Stefanlooks back at Elena, gently touching her shoulder]
[Elena nods and Stefan ascends the stairs out of the tomb.
Damon looks from Bonnie and Sheila to Elena.]
Damon : You ready?
Elena : What?
Damon : [to Sheila and Bonnie] You think I'm gonna go in there by myself so you can seal me in?
[Damon grabs Elena.]
Damon : You'll bring the walls down if I don't. You think I trust you?
Elena : Enough.
Both of you.
Look, he needs leverage.
He needs to know that you're not going to shut the door when he gets inside.
I get it. I'll go.
[Damon grabs a torch from the circle.]
Damon : May I?
[Elena nods at Sheila and Bonnie, reassuringly, and follows Damon into the tomb.]
[Stefan runs over to the gasoline and starts to gather the cans up.
Suddenly, someone speaks to him.]
[Stefan straightens up, looking at Ben. Jeremy, unconscious, lies at Ben's feet.]
[Anna vamp-runs into the tomb.]
[Damon and Elena are down in the tomb, searching for Katherine.
They hear whispers throughout the tomb.]
Elena : What is that?!
Damon : They can sense you. Now, where is she?
[Damon walks away, leaving Elena behind.]
Elena : Damon!
[Anna descends the stairs into the tomb. Bonnie looks over at her.]
[Bonnie steps aside.
Anna grabs a flashlight from the ground and runs into the tomb.
Bonnie turns and looks at Sheila, angered.]
[Above the tomb, Stefan and Ben are in a tense conversation.]
[Ben moves closer towards Stefan.]
[Ben rushes at Stefan.
Stefan thrusts his arm, easily knocking Ben to the ground.
Stefan picks up the hose connected to the gasoline can.
Ben gets up and looks at Stefan.]
[Stefan ignites the torch and sets Ben on fire.
Ben screams and flails around, before finally falling to the the ground, dead.]
[Back in the tomb, Elena is still searching for Damon.]
Elen a: Damon? [whispers] Damon!
[Elena continues to hear the whispering around her.
Startled, she falls but quickly gets back up.
Her flashlight beam lands on one of the mummified vampires.
As she walks around the room, she sees more and more vampires.
Panicked, Elena falls down next to one of the mummified vampires, her beam lands on him and she gasps in shock.
The vampire's eyes open and are bloodshot with hunger.
Elena screams loudly and gets up, looking around for an exit.
Her beam of light lands on Anna who is standing right behind her.]
[Stefan walks back down into the tomb and looks around.]
[Stefan runs towards the entrance of the tomb. Sheila grabs his arm.]
[Anna steps towards Elena, shining her flashlight on her.]
[Elena walks backwards and bumps into Pearl. Anna sees her mother and kneels down next to her, caressing her arm.]
Elena : His father did.
[Anna stands up and faces Elena.]
[Elena gasps and turns around, bolting from the room, but Anna vamp-runs in front of her, grabs Elena by the wrist, and bites down. Elena screams loudly.]
[In the ante-chamber, Stefan hears Elena's screams echo through the tomb. Stefan dashes into the tomb. Bonnie chases after him.]
[Sheila blocks Bonnie from entering the tomb.]
[She picks up the grimoire and looks desperately at her Grams.]
[Anna pushes Elena down on the ground, across Pearl's lap, and holds Elena's wrist up to her mouth. Elena struggles, but Pearl, smelling the blood, begins to drink.]
Elena : No, please don't!
[Stefan runs in.]
[Stefan grabs Anna and pushes her aside.]
[Stefan grabs Elena and pulls her up, pushing her towards the exit.]
[Stefan blocks Anna from chasing down Elena.]
[Anna rushes to her mother's side, caressing her face in her hands and crying happily.]
[Bonnie and Sheila are looking through the grimoire when Elena exits the tomb.]
Elena : He's right behind me.
[Bonnie and Sheila look at the entrance to the tomb.
Elena turns around and sees Stefan standing in the doorway.
Elena walks up to him, worried.]
[Stefan looks down, not answering.]
[Stefan goes back into the tomb to find Damon.]
[Damon is still searching the tomb for Katherine.
Frustrated, he kicks the dirt on the floor.]
Damon : She's not here.
[Stefan walks up to Damon.]
Damon : She's not here.
[Damon pulls out the blood bag.]
Damon : She's not here!
[Damon throws the blood bag at the wall.
The blood splatters across it.
Damon looks at Stefan with anguish.]
[Sheila and Bonnie are reciting the spell to lift the seal as Elena circles around them.
The torches flare up and Elena looks towards the tomb.]
[Anna exits the tomb with Pearl, who is still weak.]
[Anna and Pearl leave. The torches begin to falter.]
[The torches extinguish themselves.
Bonnie looks faint and Sheila doesn't look much better.
Elena runs back into the tomb.]
Damon : It doesn't make sense. They locked her inside.
Damon : How could she not be in here?
Damon : No!
[Damon angrily pushes Stefan away. Elena rushes into the room.]
Elena : Damon! Please.
[Damon, Stefan, and Elena leave the tomb.]
[Bonnie and Sheila are still chanting the spell to keep the seal down.
Bonnie stops for a moment, gasping for air and keeling over.]
(They continue chanting.

The door to the tomb closes and the torches die out.]
[They place their foreheads together]
[Stefan and Elena exit the tomb and run over to Jeremy, who is waking up.]
[Elena and Stefan kneel down next to Jeremy, who groans.]
[Damon exits the tomb, looking completely miserable.
Elena gets up and walks towards him.
She wraps his arms around him and places her head on his shoulder.]
Elena : I'm sorry.
MOTEL ROOM
•with Ana ; Pearl•
[Pearl and Anna go back to the motel room.
Anna turns on the light and gets a shock when she sees Damon sitting in a chair in the corner of the room.]
Damon : You knew Katherine wasn't in there.
[Damon vamp-runs at Pearl and grabs her by the throat.]
Damon : Why do you get a happy ending?
[Anna rushes towards him.]
[Damon grabs a hold of Anna, restricting her movement.]
Damon: Why do you get it and I don't?
[Damon releases Anna and Pearl.
Anna wraps her arms around Pearl and looks up at Damon.]
[Damon is utterly hurt by this new piece of information.]
[Anna embraces Pearl while Damon leaves the motel room.]
