[Whitmore College]
(Stefan’s body is laying on the couch. Caroline’s with him. Damon and Elena arrive)
Elena: Oh, my God. Stefan!
Caroline: I didn't know where to bring him, and I just couldn't leave him outside. Bonnie has a plan, right? She… she said that she could bring people back. Tell me that she can bring him back!
Damon: We'll bring him back. Come on. Let's get away from prying eyes
The other side
(Stefan looks at them but he’s suddenly sucked by something. Lexi catches him before he’s taken away)
Lexi: I got you! Looks like I've now saved you from both metaphorical darkness and actual darkness. I think you owe me a beer
[Whitmore College]
(Damon is with Bonnie)
Bonnie: Damon, stop
Damon: You said you had a plan, Bonnie
Bonnie: I did. I had a Traveler who knew the right spell
Damon: And you lost her
Bonnie: I didn't lose her.She was sucked into oblivion like everyone else on the other side
Damon: Then find another one!
Bonnie: It's more than just knowing the spell. Markos was able to come back because dozens of Travelers were willing to sacrifice themselves in order to overwhelm me. I doubt they'll be willing to do that for a bunch of supernatural strangers
Damon: You know who needs motivation? You need motivation because if the other side goes away, everyone we know there, including you, goes away with it
Bonnie: I know that. Do you think I want to die?
Damon: My brother is over there
Bonnie: I know that
Damon: So is Alaric, and so is your grams
Bonnie: I know that, Damon
(Enzo appears)
Enzo: Ahem. Let's not forget who else is at the top of the search and rescue list
Bonnie: Enzo's here
Damon: Well, if it's not. Mr. Butterfingers himself how'd it feel to have your only hope of coming back literally slip through your fingers?
Enzo: Hello to you, too, grumpy pants. Tell him to play nice. I have a plan
Bonnie: Are you serious?You found another Traveler?
Damon: Well, then get on it!
Enzo: I'm already on it, mate. You still need someone to do this coming back from the dead spell. I assume you still have a witch or two in your pocket
Bonnie: More or less
[Middle of the Road]
(Luke is driving while Liv is on the passenger seat)
Liv: Oh, great. Grandma just passed us
Luke: If you want to drive, just say so
Liv: No. I want you to drive, just at a speed more fitting for two people who just tried to commit murder
Luke: They are not following us. Markos stripped the town of spirit magic. There's no way they survived it
Liv: Something tells me they did
(Elena is in the middle of the road and they have to stop)
Luke: And I bet if I turn around...
(She sees Caroline)
Liv: Using our own tricks against us. Jerks
(They go out of the car)
Elena: A little tip. If you're gonna flee the scene of the crime, take back roads
Liv: You really want to do this again?
Elena: You mean the part where you try to kill a doppelganger? There's no point. Stefan's already dead
Liv: I know you don't believe me, but I am sorry
Elena: Good because you're gonna help bring him back
Liv: Look. I get what you need from us, but if both doppelgangers are alive again, the Travelers can restart their spell. Witch magic goes bye-bye, and all you vamps, you're goners
Elena: They're not gonna have a chance to start again because in order to bring Stefan back, we're gonna have to kill them, a lot of them, including Markos
Luke: We can't help you. Even if we wanted to, our coven would kill us
Caroline: Stefan saved your life
Luke: I know he did, but…
Liv: We can't risk it
(Caroline kills Luke)
Liv: No!
Caroline: Your brother's officially on the other side. Think you can risk it now?
[Mystic Falls]
(The travelers, Markos and Liz are on the city limits)
Markos: It is a good day, sheriff
Liz: Maybe for you. It took me all night to evacuate the 10-mile civilian radius around the town square
Markos: Hmm. Gas leak. Very clever. I appreciate your cooperation
Liz: It will keep our residents away for now but certainly not forever
Markos: I'm sure we can think of something if we put our heads together
Liz: Why did they move our sign?
Markos: Our desire was to end spirit magic everywhere. As you can see, we hit a snag. Nevertheless, this is our home now, and just to keep things simple, we've reset the official border of Mystic Falls to where the spell begins, right there
Liz: Of all the small towns to call home, you probably shouldn't have picked one full of vampires
Markos: You think I'm afraid of vampires? Maybe you think your friend Damon or your daughter can come save the day. Let me give an example of why that would be unwise
(Some travelers bring Tyler/Julian to him)
Liz: Tyler!
Markos: Oh, that's not Tyler anymore. That's Julian, the Traveler who betrayed his people when he killed the doppelganger and stopped the spell. A big, scary werewolf-vampire hybrid, and yet a little Vervain, a touch of wolfsbane, and here you are… weak and all mine
Tyler/Julian: You think you're some great leader because you pillage a helpless town? That makes you king now? Sorry, your highness, but I don't buy it
Markos: That's because you haven't set foot inside my kingdom. The spell the Travelers cast across Mystic Falls eliminates spirit magic,so while my people continue to have access to the earth's purest magic, your friend Tyler will be stripped of everything the witches did to him, first his hybrid side, then his vampirism, and with no vampirism to keep him alive, he'll just be a boy with a werewolf gene, who happened to break his neck
Tyler/Julian: No, no! No! Don't do this! No! No! Stop! Please don't! Don't! No!
Liz: Oh, my God
[Whitmore College]
(Bonnie is still with Enzo)
Enzo: One less witch twin in the world
Bonnie: No. One more person we need to bring back
Enzo: This list is getting uncomfortably long
Bonnie: Tell me about it, but with Liv doing the spell, not bring her brother back would be just…
Enzo: Smart, savvy?
Bonnie: Cruel. It would be cruel, but none of it matters if your mysterious Traveler doesn't show
(Tyler appears)
Tyler: Bonnie?
Bonnie: Tyler, is that you?
Tyler: How the hell did I get here?
Bonnie: You're dead, and you're you. Caroline was right. Dying eliminated your passenger
Tyler: Hang on. Did you say I'm dead?
Bonnie: I did, but we can bring you back
Enzo: And the list keeps growing
Bonnie: I need you to trust me, ok?
Tyler: Do I have a choice?
(Damon rejoins Jeremy and Matt in a classroom)
Damon: Class is in session.First assignment… anti-magic perimeter. Gilbert, what do you got?
Jeremy: I walked around Mystic Falls this morning to see where my hunter instincts disappeared
Damon: Meaning what, your biceps shrunk, and your brain got smaller?
Jeremy: Meaning that I have a supernatural urge to kill vampires, so wherever I hated you less, there was no magic
Damon: The cemetery's outside of the no-magic perimeter, a couple unpopulated other than that
(The girls are on speakerphone)
Caroline: Hey, Professor Salvatore, not everyone can see the map
Elena: Yeah, don't forget about us
Damon: Donovan, you had one job
Matt: I'll send you a picture right now
Elena: We should be there
Damon: Nope. You should not be. You are on witch duty because without crazy locks, no one's rising from the dead. So next order of business, mass murder. Quarterback? Thank you
Matt: Ok. We got these from the sheriff. Apparently there was some truth to her evacuation story. There's a major gas line that runs underneath the town. Now if it did leak, it could be deadly, as in massive explosion kind of deadly
Matt: We can't blow up our hometown
Damon: Says one of the only people left in this group who can actually live there
Elena: We're not blowing up our town. We just need to lure enough Travelers to one spot
Caroline: How? We can't lure anyone anywhere stuck out here
Damon: And that's where your mama comes in. She will convince them to gather somewhere inside. Meanwhile, these two geniuses at 7:00 will turn on the gas, let it leak. We'll have about 10 minutes before anyone can smell it. You clear out. Boom! Travelers gone, resurrection spell starts, loved ones return. Good? Good? Class dismissed
[Mystic Grill]
The other side
(Stefan and Lexi enter the Mystic Grill)
Lexi: Huh. I thought for sure he'd be here. If you were a history teacher turned vampire, where else would you be?
Stefan: You seem intent on finding someone you barely know
Well, I have a thing for day drinkers. Plus he has a cute name. Alaric. Hmm
Stefan: We'll find him
Lexi: Seriously? This is what I have to look forward to when I come back to life, all-you-can-eat potato skins? Remind me again why you never made it to Portland
Stefan: I was attacked by Silas and locked in a safe to drown for 3 months
Lexi: Right, and then you made it out, and yet you're still here
Stefan: Lexi, either one of us could blink out existence any second, so if you have something to say to me…
Lexi: Caroline
Stefan: What about Caroline?
Lexi: Wow! You really don't see it, do you?
Stefan: See what?
Our side
(Liz and Marcos enter)
Liz: Listen. I might not carry a lot of weight with you people, but I am still the sheriff, and I still represent the people who live here
Marcos: Travelers haven't been able to gather together for centuries.The last thing they'll tolerate is a list of your ground rules
Liz: What if there's an open bar?
The other side
Stefan: She's trying to gather the Travelers. They're planning something
[Whitmore College]
(Jeremy is still with Matt and on the phone with Bonnie)
Jeremy: I should go with you
Bonnie: You need to go be a younger, hotter Bruce Willis, and if I take one step into Mystic Falls, good-bye magic, good-bye anchor, good-bye me
Jeremy: At least tell me how this works
Bonnie: Being an anchor is like being a gateway. Usually, it's one way, but when the Travelers die, liv will do the spell, and her magic combined with all those Travelers opening the gate at once will allow the people on the other side to push their way through me like Markos did
Jeremy: What about you? What happens?
Bonnie: I stop being the anchor
Jeremy: Yeah, but how do you get through?
Bonnie: Jeremy, I will be fine. Look. I got to go, ok? Be careful
(She hangs up. Enzo is with her)
Enzo: What is your plan exactly?
Bonnie: My plan is my job just like the spell is yours, which apparently you suck at. Should already be on the road
Stefan: I'm late, aren't I? My bad. I was watching some 80-year-old witch get dragged off to never, never land. It was, uh… it was weirdly entertaining
Bonnie: Stefan
Enzo: Not exactly. Bonnie, meet the Traveler with our one-way ticket out of here, although you may know him better an ancient immortal with a desperate need of a cure
Bonnie: Oh, my God. Silas.You killed my dad
Silas: And now I'm gonna help you bring your friends back to life and me along with them. So what do you say? Bygones?
[Mystic Falls High School]
The other side
(Lexi and Stefan are looking for Alaric)
Stefan: Where in the hell is Alaric?
Lexi: I don't know. Maybe he finally found peace, although if he did, I'm gonna be superpissed he beat me
Stefan: Well, why didn't you?I mean, if anyone was gonna find peace, it should be you
Lexi: I don't know. Maybe there's something I'm still supposed to do, you know, like, earn my stripes
Stefan: All right. Let's make a deal. If all this fails and you and I are stuck over here, we're not gonna let whatever's happening to these people happen to us.We're gonna find peace together
Lexi: A death peace pact? I like it. Come on. Let's go. I would hate for you to miss your come-back-to-life window before you even had your first date with Caroline
Stefan: Oh, shut it
Our side
[Mystic Falls Cemetery]
(Bonnie is with Silas)
Silas: As vezat esvet
Bonnie: As vezat esvat
Silas: Esvet, not vat. I feel like I'm teaching calculus to an infant
Bonnie: I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous about unleashing a plague onto humanity
Silas: Ooh! I've been upgraded a plague? Oh. How biblical and fitting, seeing as I probably will kill a lot of people in an epic, all-inclusive way once I'm out of here. Oh, speaking of, how is my shadow self? Is it a crime for someone so good-looking to be so sad all the time?
Bonnie: Just teach me the damn spell
(Elena and Liv rejoin them)
Elena: Hey. Did you find a Traveler that's gonna get us out of here?
Bonnie: Yep. Learning the spell as we speak. I'd introduce you, but, um…
Elena: Thank you, whoever you are
Silas: Oh, just the perfect specimen of man, that's all
Bonnie: Moody old lady. Kind of senile
Elena: Got it. Well, I'm gonna go call Damon and let him know that we're ready
[Mystic Grill]
(Jeremy and Matt are below the Mystic Grill)
Matt: Can we talk about the irony in us blowing up the only place dumb enough to hire us?
Jeremy: I'm sure the Salvatore’s will make a generous contribution to help fix it
Matt: Yeah, if they can come home. No one said killing the Travelers would get rid of this anti-magic thing, although Mystic Falls might be a half-decent place to live again.No more vampire attacks, crazy blood rituals, you know? Safe like it used to be
Jeremy: Except I wouldn't be able to invite my girlfriend over
Matt: There are worse things than having to visit your girlfriend at college on the weekends, Jer. It's called normal
Jeremy: We’re here
(The travelers are partying. Liz is with Marcos)
Marcos: I warned you they probably wouldn't give you the chance to speak
Liz: Well, they don't seem to have a problem with the free food
Marcos: Where are you going?
Liz: Well, I'm clearly not gonna have much of an impact here, so I think it's time I take my own orders and evacuate
Marcos: We're not lawless, you know? We could use someone like you. Have a drink with me. Allow me to convince you this can still be your home
Liz: My home is a place my daughter can come visit. Good-bye
Marcos: Please. I insist
[Mystic Falls’ Cemetery]
(Elena is with Damon)
Elena: So you good?
Damon: Operation massacre. Assuming Donovan knows the difference between a water main and a gas main, yeah, I'm good. Listen. I wanted to spare you the gory details, and then I figured, "well, I'll be lying, and then the whole point of saving the universe would be moot because you'd be pissed," so here it is. Project kaboom needs someone to trigger the explosion, so to speak
Elena: Ok. Wait. You? No! Damon, no. Absolutely not, no
Damon: Go with your first instinct, Damon. Lesson learned
Elena: Look at me. Damon... Do you see a future with me? Because that's all I see
Damon: Elena, I've seen it since the second I laid eyes on you
Elena: Then don't go on a suicide mission
Damon: Listen. Technically, it's only half a suicide mission because we're gonna be bringing people back from the other side, and I'm gonna be with them
Elena: Well, then what if something goes wrong?
Damon: All right. Not to relive old fights, but this is my choice and I need you to respect it
Elena: That was a low blow
Damon: Hey. I will make it back to you, I promise. I promise you
The other side
(Enzo is outside of the crypt)
Enzo: Everything all right in there?
Bonnie: We're good. Silas is a crappy mentor, FYI
Enzo: It's back
(Silas rejoins them)
Silas: She's ready. Let's get on with it. Unh!
Enzo: Help me
Bonnie: Bygones
(Liv is casting the spell. Luke’s there but she can’t see him)
Liv: Ohto eestenay as vazat.Esvet ohnaz eespalit
Luke: You can do this, liv
Liv: Ohto eestenay as vazat.Esvet ohnaz eespalit

(Matt and Jeremy are still below)
Matt: All right. It's 7:00 on the dot. Let's go
[Mystic Falls Cemetery]
The Other side
(Bonnie is alone)
Bonnie: Come on, grams.Where are you?
Sheila: Didn't I teach you not to rush your elders? We move a little slower
Bonnie: Thank God. I found us all a way out
Sheila: Think I was born yesterday? I know what you're doing. You cannot survive all these people coming through you and even if you could, when it's all said and done, you're still the anchor, and when this place goes away…
Bonnie: I know what you're about to say
Sheila: No, you don't.I was going to say that it's been my privilege to watch you grow into the beautiful woman you've become
Bonnie: You need to pass through me when the ritual begins
Sheila: No. I'm staying here
Bonnie: Grams, you can't.This place is imploding and taking everyone with it
Sheila: I can't come, Bonnie.You're not the only member of this family who knows how to make a sacrifice
Bonnie: What does that mean?
Sheila: It means that I'm gonna be fine. I found peace because I made sure that you'll find yours
Bonnie: I don't understand
Sheila: Not your concern.Just know I looked out for you. I love you, Bonnie. You stay strong
Bonnie: I love you, too
[Mystic Grill]
(Liz is with Marcos)
Marcos: Third phone call in 5 minutes
Liz: Look. What am I doing here?
Marcos: You know, I was wondering the same thing. You evacuated the town, yet you stayed to lecture us on our civic duties?
Liz: Captain goes down with the ship
Marcos: Or you're up to something
Liz: Do you smell gas?I think there's a leak coming from the hatch
[City Limits]
(Damon is alone. He’s waiting for Liz’s signal. He finally receives the text and goes into the car. Elena rejoins him)
Damon: What are you doing?
Elena: You said to respect your choice, and I did. Now you can respect mine
Damon: Whoa, no. No, no. That not how this works, Elena. The second we cross that border, you're gonna feel everything. You're gonna drown all over again, it's gonna take you back to the night you died a human
Elena: I know what I signed up for, Damon, and I'm all in. What are you staring at?Drive
[Damon’s Car]
Elena: Hurry. We have to die while we're still vampires…
Damon: No
Elena: Damon…
Damon: I know
[Mystic Falls Cemetery]
Liv: Ohto eestenay as vazat.Esvet ohnaz eespalit.Ohto eestenay as vazat
Luke: Just keep going. You can do it
Liv: Esvet ohnaz eespalit
(The travelers and Marcos converge towards Bonnie)
Marcos: We meet again. We can do this all day, Bonnie. Your friends kill me, and I come right back through you I look forward to the déjà vu
(They all pass through her. Elena rejoins her)
Elena: Bonnie!
Bonnie: Elena! Did it work? Are you…
Elena: Yes. Did Damon…
Damon: Right here
Bonnie: Ok. When you guys pass through me, you're gonna wake up with your bodies on the other side. You need to get back here as fast as you can
Damon: Ok
The other side
[Mystic Grill]
(Elena looks at their bodies. Alaric rejoins her)
Alaric: Did you seriously wear your seat belt?
Elena: Oh, my God. Alaric, what are you…
Alaric: Come on. You got to go
Elena: But wait. What about Damon? I need to find him
Alaric: No. You need to go home to your brother. I'll find Damon
Elena: I can…
Alaric: Now come on. Elena, get out of here. Go
Elena: Ok
(She leaves)
(Damon is in the back and sees Liz unconscious)
Damon: Liz. No. No, no, no. Liz. No. Come on. No
Alaric: Friendly advice. When you finally get the girl, don't blow her up
Damon: Good to see you, too, buddy
Alaric: Yeah. She's gonna be ok
[Mystic Falls Cemetery]
(Liv is still casting the spell)
Liv: Ohto eestenay as vazat. Esvet ohnaz eespalit.Ohto eestenay as vazat
Luke: Bonnie. Bonnie! Bonnie! Hey! Look. It's too much for her! We need to start now!
Stefan: No, no. We all go together. Damon's not here yet
Luke: I don't care
(He goes through)
Our side
(Luke rejoins Liv)
Liv: Ohto eestenay as vazat.Esvet ohnaz eespalit
Luke: Hey. Liv. Liv. Hey. Hey. Look. You need to stop now, ok? If you keep going, it's gonna kill you
Liv: No. I promised that I'd help them. Ohto eestenay as vazat

Bonnie: You need to come through!
Tyler: What about everyone else?
Enzo: You don't have to tell me twice
(He goes through)
Our side
(He looks at Caroline)
Enzo: Ah. See you around, gorgeous
(He leaves then Tyler goes through)
Caroline: Tyler?
Tyler: Yeah. It's me Whoa!
Caroline: What's wrong?
Tyler: That felt different
Caroline: What do you mean? W-wha... You're not healing
Tyler: I'm not a hybrid anymore
The other side
Bonnie: Come in guys, we don’t have much time. Grab my hand!
Lexi: Go. Go! You have to go. Come on!
(Elena rejoins them)
Elena: I can't find Damon
Stefan: You go, I'll wait here
Elena: No. I'm not leaving without him!
Stefan: This place is falling apart
Elena: No!
(Bonnie forces her to go through)
Our side
(Elena is back)
Caroline: Elena! Thank God!
Elena: No, Bonnie. Why would you do that? I can't leave without him
Bonnie: We'll find him
Caroline: What? What's going on? Who are we missing? Where's Stefan?
(Bonnie coughs blood)
Caroline: Oh, my God. Bonnie?
(Stefan appears)
Stefan: No... no, no, no
Caroline: Stefan!
Stefan: I was just trying to…
Caroline: What's wrong?
Stefan: She fell. I was just trying to…
Caroline: What?!
Stefan: Damon… he's not there yet
Elena: This isn't happening
Bonnie: It's ok. I can do this
The other side
(Bonnie has moved and is rejoined by Lexi)
Lexi: Bonnie!This is killing you, isn't it?
Bonnie: I can hold on. I have to. Just come through. We have to finish this
(Marcos arrives)
Marcos: Not just yet!
Bonnie: Lexi!Come on! It's your turn
Lexi: Every person that passes through takes you one step closer to death. What kind of a best friend would I be if you died before Stefan got his brother back?
(Damon and Alaric arrive)
Damon: Bonnie!
Bonnie: Thank God
Our side
Luke: Screw those guys. I won't let you die for them
The other side
Damon: Where's Elena?
Bonnie: She made it through
Damon: Ok
Bonnie: Come on
Damon: Well, would you look at that?
Our side
(Elena enters the crypt)
Elena: Oh, my God. Liv! No, no, no, no
(Bonnie rejoins her)
Elena: Bonnie, we need to find them. We need to start the spell again
Bonnie: We can't. That was our one shot
Elena: Yeah, but… but Damon's on the other side. We have to…
Bonnie: Elena!It… it… it's too late
Elena: No. no
(Damon enters)
Bonnie: He's here. You can say good-bye
(Stefan is alone. Caroline rejoins him)
Stefan: I lost them both. Two people I've known longest in this world, both gone
Caroline: Lexi?
Stefan: She never came out. Neither did Markos.I know that's not a coincidence. It was her, uh, unfinished business. And Damon, uh... Finally had everything he wanted. He was happy.He should be here
(Damon is still with Elena)
Elena: You lied to me
Damon: Even if I wanted to apologize, you couldn't hear me, so I won't
Elena: Please don't leave me
Damon: I don't have a choice, baby. You are by far the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my 173-years on this earth. The fact that I get to die knowing that I was loved, not just by anyone, by you, Elena Gilbert, is the epitome of a fulfilled life. It's never gonna get any better than this. I peaked. I love you, Elena
Elena: Please. Please come back to me
Damon: Bye
(Bonnie is on the phone with Jeremy)
Bonnie: It was all a lie. There was never a way for me to stop being the anchor. When the other side goes, I go with it
Jeremy: You told me you could come back
Bonnie: If I would have told you the truth, it would have changed our last days together, and I didn't want it to change. We were happy
Jeremy: So none of it was true? Bonnie... Don't move, ok? I'm coming to you
Bonnie: I died, Jer. I died the day before our graduation, and the rest of this has been a gift, and I choose to be thankful that I didn't waste a second of it. So... Take care of Elena
Jeremy: No! No. Don't you dare hang up on me
Bonnie: I love you
Jeremy: Bonnie, Bonnie, don't you dare

(Matt rejoins Jeremy)
Matt: Main gas line's off, Jer. Jer?
Jeremy: I need to get to, Bonnie

Elena: He's gone
(Jeremy rushes towards Bonnie but she’s gone)
Jeremy: Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie!

Tyler: What's going on?
Jeremy: Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie!
(He rejoins them)

Damon: This place is going down, isn't it?
Bonnie: It is. I'm sure there are a million people we'd both rather be with right now, but...
Damon: Couple thousand at most
