[BOYS LAUGHING]

HOPE: "No legacy is so rich as honesty."

When Shakespeare wrote that, he obviously didn't know what I know, about teenage boys. I mean, I know there are guys with integrity,who lead with truth.

I've just never met any of them.

EMMA: I see you've decided to double down on your nihilism this morning.

Hope:
I'm trying to be rich with honesty.

Kol: Mikealson sarcasm right there

Emma:
Start from the beginning.

Hope:
Of my short-lived but horrific romances with liars?

Emma:
Of your decision to perform black magic on school grounds last night.

Hope:
Maybe we could table this until I catch the guy I was trying to find by using black magic. Because the longer that Landon Kirby is out there, the greater the chance he tells people about this school and the kind of people we have hidden behind the gates.
You know there's a beacon that alerts me when someone's using it.

Hayley: not your responsibility

Emma:
You knew you would be caught.

Hope:
After I found Landon, but, we lost the trail and now I'm being interrogated.
But go ahead, take your time.
Nothing at stake here.

Klaus: she sounds like Hayley
Elijah:too right

Emma:
Did anyone help you with the spell?
Caroline:(crosses her fingers) don't say anything,don't say anything.
Hope:
No. Can I go now?

Caroline: OH THANK GOD
(They all just give her weird looks)

Emma:
Hope. You're a student.
- This isn't your fight.
Hope:- It's absolutely my fight, Emma.

Hayley: it's very much not(she says looking at hope)
Klaus: I agree

Hope:
Landon was inside the walls of this school because of me.
He had access to the Knife he stole because of me.We're at risk of exposure because of me.And you can tell me that I'm sublimating a lifetime of survivor's remorse, or whatever it says in my file here, but I'm gonna help Dr. Saltzman, find him.

Kaleb: yooo you really put too much blame on yourself. Landon being there was most definitely not on you dude.
Elijah: He is correct niece. Your self blame is unreasonable.
Alaric: yeah if anything it's on me, I allowed him to be brought with us and to be there.
Klaus: you put entirely too much pressure on yourself littlest wolf
Hope: I know it's something that took me a long time to work out

Emma:
And what happens when you do?
(She obviously said nothing,just stopped for a second then walked out)

HOPE: It should be said that Shakespeare wasn't completely clueless.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- He had plenty of advice about how to handle betrayal.

My personal favorite: "Think, therefore,on revenge and cease to weep."

Kol:OHH YESSS
Davina: calm down🤦🏻‍♀️

[Moments later]

Lizzie:
Let's hit the dining hall and carb load.
It's game day.

Josie:
I'm not hungry.
- What?

Lizzie:- Well, uh, funny thing actually, Josette.This morning, as I was desperately trying to make this trash bag of a jersey look cute, I suddenly had the urge to purge.
So I fled to the bowl, and low and behold, I heaved up a gallon of black goo.
So, seeing as I haven't been dabbling in any illicit black magic recently,I can only imagine it was a twin sympathy hurl.
And here you are, denying the day's most important meal.So fess up. What did you do?

PENELOPE:
Maybe you're pregnant, Lizzie. Oh, or maybe it's just how that jersey fits.

Caroline:that bitch!!!
Bonnie: that's just messed up
Elena: this is one of those moments that despite being an adult make you want to beat up a kid
Rebekah: what a horrible little nuisance
Alaric:(glares)
Lizzie: ehh I'm over it. Plus she leaves eventually.

Lizzie:Go away, evil one.

Penelope:Already gone. Hot tip: next time you burn your ex's hair off, make sure she can't rock a lob.

[SIGHS]
MG: Morning! Big game today...

Lizzie:Bounce, MG. If you hurry, you can catch up with the Blair Bitch and tongue-chum her again.
Did she who shall not be named just fat-shame me?

Alaric:
Hey, girls, listen.

-Josie:
Don't do it. Don't say whatever it is you're about to say because you have Dad face, and wherever Dad face goes, daughter disappointment always follows.

Alaric: sorry about that ( to Lizzie and Josie)
Josie: no it's ok we understand you only did it when necessary
Lizzie: we still hate it but well..

Alaric:
I'm sorry; I can't make the game today.

Josie:
But, Dad, you're the coach.

Lizzie:
And I'm QB this year.

Tyler: cool

Alaric:
I hate it as much as you do, but I have to find Landon Kirby.

Josie:
Okay, so, let's cancel.
I mean, it's a joke anyways.
We can't use our powers, so we suck.

Damon: what! That's so boring.

Alaric:
Exactly. Which is a normal school for troubled rich kids thing to do.
This annual event lets the locals see you for what they think you are.
And keeps them from asking too many questions.

Freya: smart but just because their troubled rich kids don't make them dumb.

Lizzie:
But they mock us.

Alaric:
Because they're insecure, small-town kids with small minds. So just let it be. Look, girls, with Landon running around, knowing all of our secrets, we have to protect our profile now more than ever.
Can I count on you guys to do that?
All right. I love you both.
We'll be back as soon as we can.

Kol: (laughs)he just called them all dumb and stupid in a smart way!😂
Damon:(also laughing)
(Then mostly everyone laughs at the realization)

Lizzie:
Wait.
Who's "we"?

Hope:
- Hello?

Rafael:
[SIGHS] Hey.

Hope:
What are you doing?

Rafael:

Hope:- Was it broken?

[METAL SNAPS]

Rafael:
[SIGHS] It is now.

(Snorts)

You're going after Landon.
If you want this car to work, I'm going with you.

Klaus: WUT oh absolutely not. Why do you keep involving yourself. I swear she's gonna make me die of a heart attack before the end of all of this
Hayley: you're a vampire idiot you can't die of a heart attack.
Klaus: you know what I bloody mean

Hope:
You should stay out of it.
He's a liar and a thief.

Rafael:
He took a stupid Knife.

Elijah: nothing in that school seems a stupid anything.

Hope:
Nothing in this school is a stupid anything.

Elijah:(smiles at hearing hope say the same)

Rafael:
Look. He's my best friend.
And you? You seem vengeful.

Kol: of bloody mate. She's got the mikealson temper as calm as she acts it's still there.
Freya:she's like Elijah in that sense.
Rebekah: true(she looks at hope) it's the deathly calm that's most dangerous
Klaus:tell me something I don't know
Hayley:(lightly laughs)

Hope:
Let me show you something.
Close your eyes.

[PANTING]

Rafael:
What the hell was that?

Hope:
Your best friend did that to a bus full of people on Route last night, and I am the only one who knows how to find him, so give me the engine thingy.

Rafael:
No.

Hope:
I have actual magic powers.

Rafael:
And I have a long history of anger issues.

Mikealsons:we have both!!!

Alaric:
He can come.

Hope:
What?

Alaric:
He knows Landon; he'll be an asset.
And we need all the help we can get, so fix the car and hop in. And put a shirt on.

Hayley: I don't like this
Klaus: me either

[CAR DOOR SLAMS]

Lizzie:
Dad loves Hope more than us.

Alaric: of course not. I mean no offense to you hope but never.
Hope: none taken I get it.

Josie:
You're being melodramatic, okay?
He's missing one game.

Lizzie:
First a game and then our weddings.

Elena: you know despite not being biologically yours care she is exactly like you.
Caroline: (laughs)
Lizzie: hey! I'll take that as a compliment.
Bonnie: it is in a way.

This game is an opportunity.
We can show him how seriously we are taking this by making sure that our secret stays protected out there on the field.
Today, we will lose even more epically than we normally do.

Josie:
Win by losing. That's the spirit.

Marcel: that's sad and boring.

Lizzie:
There's someone we need to recruit to our Island of Misfit Toys.
Tall, hot and handsome.

Alaric: ugh

Josie:
Rafael?

Lizzie:
I am totally thinking tight end.

PENELOPE:
I just saw him.
Yeah, sorry, Raf's not gonna be at the game.
He hopped the Hope train out of town.
Just like your dad.

Enzo: she seems to always want to start problems with them

[Route 29]

Hope:
I don't know why he's still out here.
He has a whole day's lead on us. He could be anywhere.

Rafael:
Maybe 'cause he doesn't have a reason to run.

Hope:
[SCOFFS] Logic that would be perfectly believable if he hadn't, you know, ran.

-Alaric:
Wait... Shh!
You hear that?
[FOOTSTEPS]
Someone's here.
(Moments later)

Alaric s:
I-It's okay. I-I'm not gonna hurt you.
Were you on the bus?
Can you tell us what happened?

Kol: yeah I don't think she wants to talk to you. I can't be the only one who finds her being there highly suspicious.
Mikealsons and co, and most of the Scooby gang: you're not!

Hope:
Is she a survivor?

Rafael:
Uh, smells like it. She reeks of smoke.

Alaric:
I think she's in shock.
Look, I need to get her to the police so she she can get some medical attention.
Uh, why don't you two go ahead? Don't engage.
We don't know how dangerous Landon is.

Stefan: they're going to engage

Rafael:
- He's not dangerous...
Alaric:
I said don't engage.

Hope:
Come on.

Stefan: told you

Alaric :
I need to get you some help.

Good luck out there.

Dayna:(btw i hate this biatch)
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Oh, my dad's a dentist, but he still made time to be here.
I guess I'm lucky that way, huh?

[COACHES CHATTERING]

Rafael:
What exactly happened on that bus?

Hope:
No one knows.
It's like something incinerated it from the inside.

Rafael:
Look, whatever he did, I know there's a good explanation.
He's the most loyal friend that I've ever had.He was there for me on the worst day of my life.After my girlfriend died, he's the only thing that kept me going. So let me get that Knife back for you and then we both can hear him out, okay?

Elijah: I admire his devotion and loyalty towards this other boy.

Hope:
Appreciate the passion, but maybe you should exert some of it making new friends.

Kol: HAHAHA 🤣 the sasssssss

Rafael:
So I can be as popular and well-liked as you?
Klaus: OH no he didn't. I'll kill the little twerp

Yeah, I've been at the school for two days and I've already heard all about Hope Mikaelson and her sunny disposition.

Kol:well she's very much bloody earned it especially with being a part of this family.
Freya: mhm

I'll get you the stupid, not-stupid Knife and the answers you want.

Landon:
Raf? Holy hell.
How did you find me?

Rafael:
There's, um, a-a lot of crazy witchy people looking for you.
There's a bus full of burned-up people...

Landon:
That wasn't me.

Hey!

Hope:
Where's the Knife?

Landon:
I don't have it. I must've lost it when I ran.

After you burned the bus?
Landon:
That wasn't me, I swear.
I barely got out alive.

We'll lose everything. You really want Dad to stop loving us? Keep it up. And if you don't...

Kol: OHH you were totally trying to manipulate her there. 👏👏👏 Applause to you.
Josie: sorry about that
Lizzie: eh I'm over it
Alaric: you guys don't really think that right? Because if you do it's absolutely wrong. There is nothing in this world you can do that would make me not love you guys.
Lizzie and Josie: we know dad

MG:
She's right, Lizzie.
We got to lose the game.

Lizzie:
I didn't ask for your opinion.

Penelope:
Or... door number three.

Damon: ohh no here comes Katherine 2.0
Stefan: oh my gosh why would you bring that up
Klaus: oh bloody hell shut up
Caroline: gosh don't mention her
Damon: yeah well Instant regret but you gotta admit I'm right
Elena: you are but you should have just made it an inside thought hun

Josie:
Okay, we definitely didn't ask for your opinion.
And how on earth do you always do that?
It's like she appears out of smoke.

Caroline: YESSS bring the sass 👏👏

Kaleb:
Hold up, hold up.
What's door number three?

Penelope:
You win, without any of your supernatural special sauce.
Fair and square.

Tyler: should have been doing this since the beginning

Josie:
Yeah, but we're legitimately terrible.

Lizzie:
No, we used to be terrible, but Kaleb's new this year.

MG:
So am I. I can help us win, too.

Damon: yikes dude don't try so hard
( Meanwhile they are cringing in the back)

Yo, I caught that pass earlier.

JOSIE: Yeah, but you cheated.
You used your powers.
-MG:
No, I didn't.
I'm... I'm just, I'm scrappy like that.

Lizzie:
Good idea, Satan.
But to be clear, you can't have my immortal soul.

Kol: 🤣oh bloody hell I like her
Damon: I swear she couldn't be more like you Blondy
Caroline: ( smiles) yeah but that wasn't always a good thing

Fair and square.
Let's do this.

[LAUGHTER]

Solid.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

Rafael:
Promise kept.

Alaric:
You both all right?
Let's give her a proper burial.
See if you can find a shovel.

[PHONE BUZZING]

Alaric:
Dorian.

Dorian:
Found it.
The soft spot, that's how you kill it.

Klaus: too bloody late.(Thoughtfully)
That bloke seems kind of familiar for some reason
( Over with the Scooby's Stefan thought the same before coming to a realization)
Hope: uhh that's probably because um Stefan killed his parents while you two were on your hunt for werewolves. SOOO you know you might have seen a photo they had with them or something.
(Stefan sinks in his seat)
Klaus: oh. Well let's continue.

Alaric:
Uh, Knife in the heart did the trick.

Dorian:
Huh. Okay. So much for research.

Alaric:
What are you reading, Game of Thrones?

Dorian:
"Puff, the Magic Dragon."
Look, this just doesn't make any sense.
I-It has got to be something else.

[SQUISHING, GROWLING]

Alaric:
Nope. It's a dragon, all right.
I've got to call you back.

Kol:OHH MY GOSH THIS BLOODY TERRIFIC. A DRAGON😲
Davina:KOL NOT THE TIME TO BE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
Caroline:RUN!!!
Klaus: oh my gosh I'm never sending her to that bloody school
Hayley: DON'T JUST STAND THERE
Kaleb: ( whispers) I feel like they forget we're here with them. But I'm also really enjoying how they react to all of this it's kind of funny.

Dorian: Ric.

Jeremy: he's asking all the right questions
Klaus: you need to leave too!

Hope:

-Alaric:
What?

Hope:
She wants this. She's going to be back.

Alaric:
All right, you two, go to the car.
I'll meet you there. Go, go.

Alaric:
You wake up with a death wish today?
Hayley: I don't like where this is going
Klaus: me either
Elijah: as do I.
Kol: I bet she'll kill it.
Rebekah: KOL!
Davina: he's not wrong
Freya: she's the only witch there with the power to hold it down long enough to kill it correctly.

Hope:
Something like that.

[CHANTING]: We want to hear you say go!

Lizzie:
Okay, guys, last play of the game. It's Hail Mary time. Everyone but Josie, go long.
-Josie:
Wait. What do I do?

Lizzie:
It doesn't matter, 'cause there's no way I'm gonna throw you the ball.

Caroline:Lizzie!
Lizzie:(sinks into her seat) I know!

MG:
Lizzie. Look my way. I'll catch it.

Lizzie:
Probably caught something from Penelope Park, too.

KALEB:
Knock it off.
Look, we score, and those clowns can't say crap to us for an entire year.

Klaus: you should not be doing this littlest wolf
Hope: I know that better now than before. But I also felt back then like I had to. Like it was in a way my responsibility to do it. And in a way it's also that I just wanted to help.

[Back to the woods]
Hope:
Guess that was the soft spot.

Alaric:
What is this?
This isn't earth magic, Hope.

Hope:
This wasn't an earth magic problem.

Alaric:
We don't allow black magic.
It gets inside your heart and it poisons your mind.
Now, I looked the other way this morning 'cause I knew you were upset, but this is a death spell.A spell you couldn't have known you need to use on a dragon, which... which means you had other plans for it.Landon did something stupid, maybe evil.We won't know until we learn more, but... he's still just a kid, Hope... and so are you.
(Hope magically binds her family to their seats)
Hayley: what the hell
Klaus: why can't I move?
Kol: what is this?
Rebekah: what's going on?
Elijah: I don't particularly like being not able to move so since you bound us to our seats I'm assuming whatever is next is not something we will take well
Marcel: what could be so bad

This hatred... this vengeance...

This is your father.

It can't be you.
I won't allow it.
Now, you bury her.
And I'll see you back at the car.

Klaus: OI YOU BLOODY WANKER. IM GOING TO SKIN YOU ALIVE. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO HER THAT WAY. MY DAUGHTER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR PAST PROBLEMS
Hayley: LET ME OUT O THESE BINDS SO I CAN KILL HIM. YOU DONT GET TO DO THAT.
kol: LET ME AT HIM
Rebekah: OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
Marcel: that's just messed up man for future reference never do it again that's just messed up thing to say about someones dead father
Davina:(gives him a migraine)
Alaric:AHHH
Davina:well you forgot about me!
Kol:hahaha yesssss my love. Fry him.
Hope: whoahhhh auntie D calm down
Ok I know it was Wong of him to say it like that but I also understand where he's coming from ok so just please all o you calm down. The bindings will wear off once you've calmed down.

Penelope:
Hey.
Oh, whoa, towel on. Please.
Cause vampire or not, the last thing I want to see is your lost boy.

MG:
Damn, Peez, you gotta stop lurking.

Penelope:
It's time for a strategy sesh.

MG:
Nah, I listened to you all day, and the only thing your little tricks did was make the wrong girl look my way.
I'm out.

Davina: I dont think she'd be the best person to go to advice to.
MG: yeah you're not wrong.

Penelope:
This is a long con, Milton. Trust me.

Penelope:
Lizzie's nemesis Dana liking you, oh, that's the puzzle piece you need to cr*ck Lizzie's candy shell and get to her gooey center.
Today was a total win for you.

MG:
You hate Lizzie. Why do you care?

Penelope:
Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Kol: true

[Josie and Lizzie's room]

Josie:
You mad at me?

Lizzie:
No.
I'm mad at the world, and you just happen to be in it.

Josie:
Well, you're about to be.
I did a little spell at the game.
I made Kaleb drop the ball.
And I totally did black magic with Hope.

Lizzie:
Well, let's just call this what it is.
You betrayed me.

Josie:
I was worried about disappointing Dad.
So I disappointed you instead.

Caroline: oh sweet babies.

Lizzie:
I'll forgive you if you promise not to keep secrets about doing black magic with Hope.

Lizzie: in advance for what last me is about to say. I apologize and I don't feel that way anymore. But back then I was just kinda jealous.
Hope: eh it's fine. It happened long ago and we've been through too much to be stuck on little things.

Lizzie:
You're my sister, my best friend, and she spent the last ten years making us feel like we don't matter.
And I don't like feeling that way.
Not from Hope, and not from girls like Dana, not from Dad and not from you.

Caroline: oh Lizz.
Alaric: nothing is more important than you guys are.
Rebekah: yeah she seems pretty bloody jealous to me because I'm pretty sure she would have spend the better part of all those years trying to mourn and move past all and whatever traumatizing experiences she's more than likely been through so really if the attention he's giving her to make sure that while she's at your school and finding a good outlet is an issue for you than honey you were the problem.

Josie:
I promise.
Okay? I'm sorry.

Lizzie:
It's okay.
I mean, betrayal and all aside, you had my back today.

Josie:
And you had mine.
So, what are we gonna do about Dad?

Lizzie:
More like what is he gonna do to us?
