TEXT: (Hayley is sitting on the floor, holding a thick book in her hands, reading. Klaus and Rebekah are standing nearby.) Elijah: (voiceover) August 1359. I have noticed a difference in my siblings. Our bond strains beneath the pressure of our life as vampires. Each day removes them further from the humanity we once possessed. My sweet sister, Rebekah, has grown quite indifferent to brutality. (In a flashback Rebekah can be seen, killing the vampires who attacked Hayley in the previous episode.) Elijah: (voiceover) However, the true problem remains my brother, Niklaus. (In a flashback Klaus can be seen pouring petrol over the dead vampires and burning them.) Elijah: (voiceover) He continues to hide his loneliness with cruelty. Still, I cling to the hope that I, as their eldest brother, can lead them down the correct path, a path charged with the power of a family united. For if I fail, our family's legacy will end in darkness. Rebekah: I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire. Klaus: Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child. Rebekah: Oh, I am so moved by your newfound sense of fatherly duties towards the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in her oven. (Hayley enters the room) Hayley: The werewolf would like to know what the plan is. Klaus: Well, that depends what plan you mean, love: My plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world. (Rebekah takes a pencil from the desk beside her and throws it in Klaus' direction. Klaus catches it easily before it can impale his face.) Hayley: The plan to rescue Elijah. You know, the good brother. The one who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back. Klaus: In the front, if we're being specific.
