Kol?
Show yourself!
I've been wondering when you when you might make an appearance...
This is no time for games.
...Kol.
Come come brother,
Then the jig is up!
There's always time for games
Hello brother
Well, if it isn't the happy homicidal maniac
If only there was someone with whom
I could share a bit of roguery...
I need entertainment.
Go on, have at it
It's no fun to go alone.
Join me Nik!
Oh yes!
Don't mind us,
my brother and I are just here to let off some steam.
There is.
46 bodies drained
That was delectable!
Nonsense...
...it was at least 60.
I confess!
I did it.
Little brother,
just two days home,
and I'm told you've already gone and made a mess.
Come on Nik,
I was only having some fun.
Well you've had your fun.
Put it down Kol.
Hand it over Kol.
And who are you, my father?
No, Kol.
But you're in my house.
Then perhaps we should go outside.
avoid any more trouble or you'll find yourself back in a box.
Hey, no need to be nasty about it!
On the contrary, I find nastiness to be essential
whenever my siblings try to sabotage me.
My little brat of a brother has gone and made things worse.
Enough of this foolishness.
You would punish the boy because of Kol's antics,
I'd just as soon put him in a box!
Again with the dagger threats?
Don't you have any other tricks?
Now let him go and come home.
I'll take my chances here.
I find it amusing that you think you have a choice.
Ladies and gentlemen, I apologise for the disturbance.
But what's a Mikaelson family party...
No, I swear to you-
...without a little squabble?
-the day will come when I'm not so easily subdued
and on that day
I will make you suffer.
Perhaps.
But today is not that day.
Why do our family remain in these coffins,
Kol for over a century?
Kol...
I've wanted one thing for years-
Long time, brother.
- to drive a dagger into his heart,
like he's done to me so many times.
What if I said I'm close to finishing a dagger that would work on him?
You wouldn't dare use it.
Why? It's no more than he's done to us.
It gets a bit old,
playing odd man out in my own family.
Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah,
they were always a Party of Three.
You would choose that little whelp over your own family?
You always cared more for Marcel than you did for me.
No room for me at the table.
That little whelp is our family.
Always seemed to be room for Marcel.
Go on, do it.
But I see whilst you and Rebekah and Elijah all
hang portraits and share secrets,
I'm the odd one out!
If I die, she'll just pop me into another body.
Let's give Kol a little longer to decide
before we lop off his head.
Not that my family would care that much
if the death was permanent.
What is wrong with you?
He's your brother.
Rebekah never made it to her new body, did she?
Yes, and I also have a sister.
One who I happen to care about more.
And seeing as how you cast the spell and well, you're you,
I'd hardly call it an uncrackable case.
So until he tells me where she is,
Kol can rot, as far as I'm concerned.
I was willing to welcome you back into my home
We'll have our family back
Please, you hated Kol!
But you had to return to your selfish, petty jealousies.
Oh, the traitor thinks he can just waltz in here like he's welcome!
I came here because I need your help.
[Klaus laughs]
I am dying!
You don't believe me.
I've wanted one thing for years,
to drive a dagger into his heart.
I imagine right now you're rather cross with me.
You come simpering for brotherly love and the whole time,
you're plotting against me with that damn dagger!
I came to you because you're my family
Why would a brother expect his siblings to leap to his aid?
I no longer have to treat you like anything
but the treacherous liar you truly are
I'm not the bad guy
in this chapter of our family's story!
You should know I have my reasons.
I was building that dagger
to protect myself against you, Nik.
I'm the wronged
I'm the dead but never mourned
And whilst you got everything that you wanted
I got a family who didn't care if I lived
or if I died
Oh you're angry, are you?
Well join the party, I've been here a thousand years!
Klaus will kill him!
We've all suffered!
We've all been wronged!
Please, grant me this small mercy.
Mercy is a privilege reserved for family.
Go on!
Go on, finish it off!
Your status has been revoked
Go on, kill me!
I'm not gonna kill you, you idiot!
Klaus has had a thousand years to kill him, and he hasn't.
Despite your behaviour, you're still my brother
You only daggered me a dozen times.
Just the one you dagger repeatedly.
He already thinks that you don't care.
I've daggered all of you!
Is that so, brother?
Stop this drivel about being singled out and unloved
You're desperate to be a part of this family, aren't you?
You are a Mikaelson.
All of your mischief was just attempts for attention
You're my blood!
And I need you...
...I need you by my side.
You talk about family, "family this", "family that"
I haven't even earned the right to share your secrets, have I?
You haven't.
You know the truth is, Kol,
you're right to feel slighted, I mean that you're right.
but by all means, brother
prove yourself.
perhaps there's still time to make it up to you.
It's not too late.
You didn't punish Kol.
I against my brother, my brother and I against the Infidel.
What does that mean?
Well...
Means that families fight,
...he's family.
but when push comes to shove you can always trust a Mikaelson
to back another Mikaelson.
They may be dysfunctional, bickering lunatics,
but they stick together no matter what.
You've got to trust me for once in your life
and I will stand by your side, I promise.
You're gonna trust me with this?
Whatever you need.
Channel me.
No, Nik...
You wanted my trust, brother.
Here it is.
I brought you something in honor of your return to the fold.
I know in the last millennium we haven't always seen eye to eye,
Thank you.
I believe it's your favourite, or at least it used to be.
You're welcome.
but in this moment I am reminded once again,
Cheers.
Family is power.
I don't want to just dagger Kol.
I know enough about dark magic to know that I'm hexed.
I want Jeremy to kill him.
There's no reversing what Finn's done to me.
Do you know that your darling former bloodbag
and her brother are trying to kill me?
What?
Kol.
Kol...
You said you were gonna put him down too.
I'm going to die! You're not going to die.
I was gonna make him suffer on my terms!
And despite what you might think, Kol,
I did mourn you after your death.
I will hunt all of you to your ends!
and I did attempt to avenge you.
Do you hear me? Do you?
I would do nothing less because we are brothers.
Always and forever.
It's Kol.
He's not going to last the night.
I think I want to be alone for this bit.
Always and forever is not just something you weasel out of, brother.
All my life...
All I ever wanted was
for you lot...
...to care about me.
It can't be.
Little brother!
We know how families work.
You always did love a dramatic entrance.
You know, sometimes it's dinner, and sometimes it's daggers.
Say, a family dinner that did not end with one of us getting daggered. Indeed!
I prefer them more than my departures,
which often involved you and the pointy end of a dagger.
Just when I thought he was showing the vaguest signs of maturity,
our brother makes a unilateral decision
that leaves the rest of us stewing in his melodrama.
I've made my decision.
His death his not a melodrama.
How many times are we going to play this game?
Calamity and doom approaches our brother,
then all of a sudden a trapdoor appears and poof, he escapes.
And what if it's different this time?
i don't think he would notice,
or care,
that I wasn't there to witness it.
Kol wanted me to say goodbye.
Our brother needs us, and you scamper off like a rodent!
That man has daggered us more times than can be counted.
So if this is Niklaus' way of finally biting the big one,
we should be celebrating.
You really don't care?
I don't.
He always was a selfish git.
He'll return.
What was his phrase?
His "inspirational array of pages"!
His drunken collection was always my favourite.
The prodigal brother returns.
You were right.
We should honor our brother's sacrifice.
As many spats as Klaus and I had over the centuries...
If Nik's time is up, then I guess I didn't want to miss my chance to [ __ ] and moan.
...he would have wanted it this way.
As much as I savoured the joy of tormenting you throughout the years...
Because he is a tremendous ass!
That he is.
...I must confess you all mean everything to me.
But he oh-so-secretly adores his youngest brother.
