[This video with this music!



[Mouse is 13 sitting across a desk from Seth. Seth nods his head slowly.]
To be clear, I asked you to do me a favor and you're saying no, thank you.
[Mouse squirms a little in his seat, anxious of what's to come. He tries to explain.]
I can't.

You can't what?

I can't -- I can't cut someone's eyes.

You physically cannot?

Yes. No, I mean I just can't. Please. No, thank you.

[Seth lunges across the table a split second later, grabbing Mouse by his collar and dragging him across the desk to face him.]
No, thank you. [Seth hisses through his teeth and drags the boy down the hall. He opens a chest and throws Mouse in. He locks it. Mouse screams and begs to be set free.]

I'll be back in a few days. You think about what you've done, Mr. Cratchit.]

[Mouse is sixteen. He and Cole are wrapping a crying man in chains. Dorian takes a last drag from his cigarette before flicking it away. He kneels down next to the man.]

Please. Please don't do this. I'll never touch her again, I swear. Never. Tell Seth I learned my lesson. I'll never do it again!

I know. [Dorian pats the man's cheek and rises up again. Brick hitches the chain to the back of a truck. Mouse pours gasoline over the man's body and climbs into the driver's seat. Dorian, Brick, Oatie and Cole climb into the back of the pickup.]

Gun it. [Dorian orders. Mouse starts speeding, the man screams behind them. Oatie aims his lit cigarette at the body and flicks. The man ignites into flames.]


[Mouse is doing his homework and gets a text from Seth to meet him at his house. The boy goes immediately. Seth has a report card in front of him.]
What do we say to D marks, Mouse?

[Mouse doesn't answer right away.]
I'm doing extra credit.

Don't make me ask again.

[Mouse blinks slowly and swallows hard.]
No, thank you.

[Seth smiles. He gets up and walks out of the room. Mouse follows. They enter a room and then Mouse panicks. He tries to run. Seth grabs him and shoves him in the chest.]
No, thank you.

[Mouse is 18. He's standing in front of a family of four who kneel before him, Dorian, Oatie, Pat, Cole, Agnes, and Camellia. Brick is beating a man to death in front of them. Once he's dead, Dorian asks for the next volunteer. The woman sobs uncontrollably. Agnes slits her throat. Dorian picks another at random and smashes in their head with a bat. Cole shoots one in the knee. Mouse gets a text from Seth. They all stop.]
He says leave one. [Cole shrugs and shoots the one untouched in the head. Pat complains loudly that blood splashed on his banana. He groans as he tries to eat around it and decides he can't.]

What did they even do? [Cam asks as she kicks the injured one left in his wound.]

I don't ask questions. [Mouse replies. They ride away.]

[Montage of the Hooligans beating people, some to death. They mutilate others. There are several shots of Mouse being thrown into a chest only to be released days later covered in his own waste and vomit.

Final scene: Mouse is 19. Seth calls them all into a dinner meeting. When the meal finishes, Seth stabs Oatie in the back of the head with a knife and has them dispose of the body. All of the Hooligans are visibly shaken, save for Pat.

Fade to black.]

Someone call a tailor because I think Stepfurt needs a Button.

Is it just me or does 90% of this town need a cold shower. Isn't there anyone who just wants to be friends and not have meaningless sex? If so, can we be friends? Because I'm just not into all that and I have no idea if I'm alone in this or not.

I'm thinking of starting a youth outreach program. Volunteer mentors can look out and be a shoulder for kids in a totally confidential space with people they know won't judge them. Who wants in?

Niklaus has broken the treaty between our sides. He kidnapped and killed Karen and while my family will defend itself against intrusions, when confronted about this he made it clear that he was no longer interested in maintaining the peace I promised.

Consider this a race to whoever can find him first. I hope for his sake, it's you.

[She's crying at her brothers]
I told you to let this go. I want you here to be a part of my life, to watch Archie and Stiles grow, but instead you've picked a fight with the Avengers. They've daggered Kol once, they'll do it again.

Katherine set this up, you're not understanding. She's aligned herself with the strongest people here for a reason and that boy, Evan, he's their biggest weapon and he's on their side. They can ambush us. How is this worth it to you? All you had to do was behave and you couldn't do it. Not even for one week.

Now you've attacked their children, you've killed one, they'll be here any minute. They have the weapons, they have an army, and they don't give up. I can't believe you'd be this reckless. How do you expect to get out of this one? They're all on vervain.

Nik, you and your stupid revenge! You've ruined my life yet again!

Grab some stakes, they took Karen. They're bleeding her out right now to get the vervain out of her system.

We can't kill them with the stakes, but if we stab them in the heart then it makes them go dormant until it's moved.

[Evan sees Tony's drones building Avengers Tower and decides to show Cap what a real son can do. Show everyone what a better guy he is than stupid Dorian and his asshole friends. He raises his hands and with all of might erects the building.]
You're welcome, Everyone. What's that? You want more? [It's weird, he's never felt weak after doing this before but he does feel fatigued. Maybe it's because he's never done anything so big and intricate before. Oh well. He creates another out of thin air.]
Nah, you're right. We only need one. [He waves his hand and the second one disappears. He falls over. Embarrassing...]
Evan, out. [He disconnects the video just in time. He vomits a clear liquid on the ground. He feels sick to his stomach. Enough showboating, he got his point across.]

[He spent the night being tortured for his wise cracking mouth. He's covered in blood when he makes this video post that he's been compelled to make.]
Hello everyone, my name is Damon Salvatore. I stole Carson's ring the other night and I'm sorry. Very sorry. For this and several other unspeakable crimes I've committed, I don't really think I deserve to live anymore. Katherine, if you're watching this, I love you. [He takes off his ring and slowly begins to burn. He hopes Katherine comes to save him, even though it's a trap. He and Katherine can escape together.]

I just got out, those guys are fucking terrifying.

[Carson plops down on her bed exhausted and her hand runs absently along her neck then she shoots up, panic clear on her face. She searches the bed and the floor. She tears her room apart then zooms downstairs]
Mom, my ring- it's gone. [She zooms out of the house, retracing her steps before finally coming back home and curling into Skye's arms] I can't find it. I can't find it anywhere. I don't-- how am I supposed to live like this? [Her eyes water] I never take it off. I never -- how could it be gone? [The sun begins to rise and Carson creeps back until Mason shuts the window]

I was supposed to go to college. [Carson says, emotional] It's all over now.
