(Opening)


Rebekah: [voiceover] My brothers and I are the first vampires in history, the Originals. 300 years ago, we called New Orleans home. I was happy here. For a time. Now we've returned, only to find a miracle.

Elijah: Niklaus, the girl is carrying your child.

Rebekah: [voiceover] And with it, a new responsibility.

Elijah: I will always protect you. You have my word on that.

Rebekah: [voiceover] But our family has many enemies.

Tyler: Klaus destroyed everything good in my life. So, I'm gonna take away the thing he wants most.

Rebekah: [voiceover] These threats should have united us. Instead, Klaus has driven us apart.

Rebekah: Why should I help you after what you did to Elijah? 

Klaus: You're my family. 

Marcel: Klaus will never stop trying to control you. What do you want?

Rebekah: [voiceover] My brother expects my loyalty, as he has for a thousand years. But now, perhaps it's time to make a different choice.












(St. Anne's Church)


[Rebekah is in the confessional booth, talking through a screen to Father Kieran, who seems annoyed]


Rebekah: I should never have come back here. This is the town where I fell in love-- and where love failed us. I assume you know who I'm talking about?

Kieran: You should know Marcel and I are not on the best of terms right now.

Rebekah: But you are an active priest, are you not? Ready and able to hear my confession

Kieran: Usually the word "willing" falls somewhere in that sentence. Are you even Catholic

Rebekah: I've been on this Earth for a thousand years. I can't say for certain that I believe in anything like a God. But, I need absolution from someone. Anyone. So, will you hear my confession or not?


[Father Kieran sighs and nods silently]


Rebekah: Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I am a liar, a betrayer. I have conspired against my own blood and I doubt even your God could save me.
