“	Everything that brought us here to New Orleans was a lie. This story that Sophie Deveraux fabricated, this struggle for control of the French Quarter, this war between vampires and witches, wasn't over territory at all, this was over Davina.	”
	— Elijah

Sinners and Saints is the fifth episode of the first season of The Originals and the fifth episode of the series overall.

Quotes[]

Elijah: "My siblings and I are the first vampires in history, the Originals. Three hundred years ago, we helped to build the city of New Orleans. We were happy here. A family. Recently, a coven of witches lured my brother back, using his unborn child as leverage. I tried to help him, but he betrayed me to his enemy, the vampire Marcel. Since then, I've been held prisoner by a powerful witch. My brother seeks to manipulate others to procure my release. But I have my own plan. If this witch proves to be an enemy, I will stop her by whatever means necessary."

Klaus: "Marcel. Bit early in the day for you, isn't it?"

Marcel: "I know, I make this look easy, but I still have an empire to run."

Klaus: "Better you than me. All that responsibility seems like such a bore."

Marcel: "Well, this might spice things up. I just heard about a bunch of dead witches out in the Bayou. The kinda damage a werewolf might do, only there was no full moon. I have an informant out there I need to meet and I would love for you to go with me."

Klaus: "Dead witches in the Bayou. Sounds like less of a problem and more like a cause for celebration."

Davina: "You're the one they call honorable."

Elijah: "Yes. That's what they call me. And yet I followed my brother here to New Orleans to engage in a war. So, I ask you, does that sound honorable to you?"

Davina: "You don't look well."

Elijah: "Well, only this morning I had a mystical dagger embedded in my chest, so I'd say I'm holding myself together quite well. Davina, I believe that you and I have the power to end a war between witches and vampires before it truly begins. I, by keeping my brother in line; you, by behaving like your true self, not some tool for Marcel or the witches."

Davina: "And why should I trust you?"

Elijah: "Well, for one thing, in spite of a ravenous hunger, I have not tried to take your blood."

Davina: "Why not? I'm the only one here."

Elijah: "Even in my present condition, I would not feed from a child."

Klaus: "We had a deal! You protect my unborn child, I dismantle Marcel's army. And whilst I've been busy fulfilling my part of the bargain, you allowed Hayley to be attacked and almost killed by a gaggle of lunatic witches."

Sophie: "I had nothing to do with it, I swear. Hayley and I are linked, remember? She dies, I die."

Rebekah: "Then who were they?"

Sophie: "They're a faction of extremists. Sabine stupidly told them about some vision she had about the baby."

Klaus: "What kind of vision?"

Sophie: "She has them all the time. They're totally open to interpretation. I'm guessing she's wrong on this one."

Klaus: "Well, how, may I ask, was this particular vision interpreted?"

Sophie: "Pretty much that your baby would bring death to all witches."

Klaus: "Ah, well, I grow fonder of this child by the second."
