Bitten (2014–2016): Season 1, Episode 6 - Committed - full transcript

Previously on "Bitten"...

Did you really think that giving me the
key to your hotel room would work?

Whoa, just like that?

There's usually only one reason

women know that kind of self-defence.

Sometimes, it's to prevent
anything bad from happening.

Other times, it's to prevent those
things from happening again.

I'll be honest with you, Victor:

I hate the thought of letting you out.

- I'm done with kids.
- Well, I really don't care about that.

What I do care about is payback.



- Which one?
- Elena Michaels.

- Zachary Cain.
- Victor Olson.

I was promised a fair trade.

Information for Pack status.

Marsten and Cain are building an army.

They've turned two
psychopathic serial killers

to counter the one that you have.

Everything they're doing
is because of you, Clay.

I had to drag a dead body

across the property today.

To protect you and the Pack.

I'm going home.

I have to go to a wedding,

for the sister of the man
that I love and trust.



I don't want this one
to break your heart.

I can tell that you're all in.

Obviously, she's not.

I came because you called.

I can't say no when you call.

So I'm asking you not to.

You do realize we've not left the house

in over two days?

Sounds like a complaint.

No, no, no, not in the least.

Although I will have
you explain to Becky

why we show up to her
wedding empty-handed.

I promise you I will get
your sister's gift tomorrow.

That wasn't meant as a guilt trip.

You've got enough going
on with your family.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm starving.

You ate the last dumpling?

Here. Order some more.

- They have our address on file.
- "Our"?

Yeah, you have not been to your
apartment since you've been back.

You've moved in here by stealth, right?

I wouldn't do that to you.

I don't cook and I don't clean, so...

They have this new thing,

it's, uh, cleaning service.

Well, that's kind of hot.

- Cleaning service gets you hot?
- Yeah.

I'm kinky like that.

Yes. Right, then.

I'll see you when you get here.

- Elena?
- Antonio.

I sent him to reach out to the
other North American families.

And without revealing
too much about our situation,

he found out that we are the
only ones targeted by the Mutts.

We all live by the rules you set.

No offense to the other families,

but if someone is going to strike,

they'd strike at the head.

Still, it's good to know

that we can count on some
extra muscle if we need it.

I sent Nick down to D.C. to have a
conversation with Joey and Dennis Stillwell.

You think for a second if the
Stillwells find out we're under attack,

they won't join the Mutts?
They're traitors.

The Stillwells are hardly traitors.

When the Pack separated,
they went their own way

and they would prefer not to
be involved in our business.

Isn't defending you
part of their business?

If I called, they would come.

I've had no occasion to call.

Nick will make it clear to them

that all of our allies
need to stay in line.

And if that doesn't work?

You'll expect me to get them in line?

You going to tell me what's
really bothering you, Clay?

What if she doesn't come home?

Elena needs time to adjust.

It was very intense here.

We just need to give her some space.

And if she doesn't want to adjust?

What happens if "space" means she
turns her back on us for good?

Then we will deal with it.

You mean you'll expect
me to deal with it.

If she goes rogue, she's a Mutt,

and like all Mutts, she won't be
allowed to settle in one spot.

It'll be my job to make her life
miserable until she moves on.

To make sure she can never have a home.

I won't be able to do that.

You won't have to.

She already came back once.

She didn't like what she found.

- Someone's here.
- I'll deal with it.

Jeremy Danvers in the flesh.

- Have we met?
- Samuel Boggs.

Nice place.

How can I help you, Mr. Boggs?

Well, I came to meet the infamous Alpha.

I figured you'd have
security in every corner.

But here you are,

opening your own front door.

No need for security.

Samuel Boggs. I know your father, Henry.

"Knew" him.

He was killed three months ago.

That's no surprise.

Guy had a mean streak. It
was just a matter of time.

Well, that's true enough.

No running.

Running is the problem.

I asked my dad once, uh,

what's the point in being a wolf

if you just get herded
around like a little sheep?

And he reminded me that, uh,

only the Pack gets to set down roots.

What do you want, Mr. Boggs?

What do I want? I want what you got.

Only, I don't want to
follow any of your rules.

Word is, Pack's weak.

And there's only one way to
become top dog, ain't I right?

Clayton!

You want to challenge for Alpha,

and word is the Pack's weak?

You haven't thought this through.

I'll give you one chance...

to make...

the right decision.

My nose!

I see your face here again,

I'll reunite you with your father.

I think he got the message.

Bitten 1x06 - Committed
Original air date February 15, 2014

I hope your sister doesn't mind

us not sticking to her list, but...

napkin rings? A gravy boat?

What does a 25-year-old need
with matching cream and sugar?

How much you want to bet my
mother helped out with that list?

I could swear there
used to be a card store

right here.

I'm sorry, I'm...

Hey, I want to pop in
this gallery for a minute.

- Elena?
- Yeah.

- Everything okay?
- Sure.

Grilled cheese for your thoughts?

Apparently, you can
already read my mind.

Looks delicious. What's in it?

- It's a secret family recipe.
- Ah.

I'm willing to tell you

if you're willing to reciprocate.

You know I don't cook.

And you know that's not
what I'm talking about.

You've been quiet since we got back.

I didn't want to say anything...

But I thought I saw someone today...

A... neighbour of one
of my foster families.

His name is Victor Olson. He...

He had a coop in his backyard
where he raised rabbits.

He used the rabbits as a lure, and...

the coop as something else.

I still think I see him
sometimes, you know.

And he's not even really there.

Which is crazy because he's locked up.

I helped put him there.

He hurt you?

I mean, physically?

Promise you won't see
me as damaged goods.

There's not a single
thing you could tell me

that would change the way I see you.

You sure it was Santos?

I can't be sure it was him, no.

'Cause you know Daniel Santos.
The man loves to play games.

I know.

He had no interest in
re-joining the Pack.

He just wanted to stir the pot.

And he may be doing the same here.

Have you told Jeremy?

No.

And I don't plan on it.

- Elena...
- I asked Jeremy

not to call me,

and I'd like to maintain it from my side.

Okay, well...

Just keep your eyes open
and be careful, okay?

Yeah.

There's something else.

I had to lie to Philip.

I... I couldn't tell him about Santos,

so I panicked and told him...

about Victor Olson.

But Victor Olson is a part of your past.

Yeah, but that just
feels like a loophole.

No, it's quite the opposite.

You named the beast, Elena. That's huge.

How many of us know about Victor Olson?

Me. Clay... Does Jeremy even know?

No.

You got to give yourself some credit.

The truth you told him levelled a wall.

He asked me to move in with him.

And?

I mean, I'm there all the time, right?

But giving up my own space?

How do you manage it so well?

Who says I'm managing anything well?

Logan, you guys have been
living together for two years.

How long do you think you
can keep it from her?

I've told her everything,
except for the thing.

She knows everyone's name.

She knows about Stonehaven.

But telling Philip about
Victor Olson is one thing.

How could I ever possibly
explain Clay to him?

Well, that shouldn't be a problem

as long as you've really moved on.

You can't let your past with Clay

colour your future with Philip.

Did you clean out the liquor store?

I just want everything to be perfect.

Becky was stressing about doing
this at my mother's house.

Offering my place is going to
save my family infinite anxiety.

It's going to be perfect.

Well, it wasn't exactly my
place to offer up, was it?

Well, I don't mind.

Remember that thing that you
said about the cleaning service?

Yeah, how it makes you hot?

No.

How you said you'd get one if I moved in.

Yeah, it might just be me
in a French maid outfit.

Sold.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

But, look, just so we're clear,

this means my stuff all
over your bedroom floor,

this means my protein bars everywhere,

- it means...
- This means I love you.

Hmm. I love you too.

What are your plans this afternoon?

Why, what did you have in mind?

Let's go pack up your stuff.

Really?

Okay.

We've got a problem.

Dennis Stillwell is dead.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

He's been dead two days
by the smell of this place.

- What about Joey?
- There's only one body.

Looks like they tortured
Dennis before they killed him.

He didn't go quietly though.

They took his eyes.

You've got to clean up the place, Nick.

Sanitize it.

Yeah, it'll take some time, but...

I'll wipe it down...

find a quiet place to bury Dennis.

Nothing will point back to us.

It's what they want.

Keep us tied up cleaning up their mess.

Any idea who did it?

Judging by the smell,
I'm pretty sure it was Cain

and that Mutt from the motel.

What about Marsten?

No sign of him. Just the other two.

I can be there in four hours.

No, no, no. By the time
you get here, I'll be done.

Come back once you've cleaned up, Nick.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Ugh! I did this herbal diet to
try and lose a couple of pounds,

and I ended up gaining three.
Total rip-off.

Well, you look fabulous, really.

Thank you again for having us here.

Like, Mother would have completely
taken over if it was at her house.

And I just really wanted this
to be about the four of us,

you know, the women in my family,

helping me get ready for my big day.

Of course.

- Mom?
- Mmm?

This is the piece I've
been telling you about.

It's very...

Dramatic.

It's gorgeous. Elena.

- Yeah?
- You have to let me set up a show.

Aren't you busy enough
with your actual clients?

Don't be humble. People are
going to love your work.

So tell me, Elena, as an artist,

what do you think of
Becky's choice of flowers?

It's too late to do
anything about them now.

I realize that, but it's a fair question.

- Mother.
- Oh...

That's how I know I'm annoying them:

all of a sudden, I'm "Mother".

Fine. We don't have to have any flowers.

As long as you're happy, Mother.

And here we go.

The Mutts are trying to
kill off our support network.

Isolating us from the outside in.

This complicates things.

It's just a matter of time before the other
families find out about the Stillwells.

Maybe it will rally them to our cause.

Look, all the other
families are Sorrentinos.

That's your blood.

They're not going to turn
their back on you.

Still, what happened to Dennis and Joey

might put the fear of God in my cousins.

Maybe we should negotiate
a truce with the Mutts.

A truce?

Perhaps an easing of the rules

regarding territory ownership.

A small concession on our
part might back them off.

Jeremy, they already think you're weak.

How long before the next Mutt comes by

thinking he can challenge for Alpha?

- Who came by?
- Samuel Boggs. Henry's son.

The word's out.

The longer we sit on our
hands, the harder it will be.

I say strike back, hard.
Reinstate the Mutt Hunts.

Kill the worst to teach the others

that Jeremy can't be pushed around.

Is that what you think, Clay?

Do you think that I'm letting
them push me around?

It's Boggs. He's back.

Stay here.

I have the right to challenge for Alpha.

This time I want you,
not your little lapdog.

Come in, Mr. Boggs.

Thank you.

They said you wouldn't fight.

Who said that?

Ahh!

That's typical Mutt behaviour.

Weapons aren't allowed, you know that.

Oh... Okay, man. Okay, look, I quit.

All right? Let me go.

Please. Please!

Let me go!

Take him downstairs.

You find out who said the Pack was weak

and who sent him.

Becky, you're being childish.

Now we have a schedule to keep.

Open the door!

Go away.

Maybe let me try and talk to her?

You barely know her.

I mean, that's the point,
right? I'm an outsider.

It couldn't hurt.

Why not? She clearly doesn't
want to talk to us.

- Work your magic.
- Okay.

Becky? It's Elena. Can you let me in?

I really don't want to talk
to anyone right now.

Your mom and your sister
are in the kitchen.

It's just me.

Hi.

I'm sorry.

Normally I can handle my mother's
passive-aggressive barbs,

but I'm just a little off today.

No, it's fine.

I mean, it's a big day.

It's not just that.

I don't know if my brother told you,

but I take antidepressants.

That kind of helps to level
out the peaks and valleys.

I didn't know that.

And I didn't want my emotions
to flat-line on my wedding day,

so I stopped taking them.

Maybe not the best idea,

considering this wedding has
my mother dialled up to 11.

You mean the flowers?

It's not just the
flowers, it's the groom.

She's been fighting me every
single step of the way

with this wedding.

She doesn't like Colin?

He is amazing.

He's just the right amount of crazy.

I don't know, I mean...

It's like I'm completely
myself with him.

So what's the problem?

I guess there's a part of me
that worries my mother is right.

Colin is still trying
to figure things out.

And like, what if he never
gets his shit together?

Then you'll figure it out together.

Okay?

Love is messy.

Who we fall in love with
doesn't always make sense.

But when it's right...

it's bigger than both of you, okay?

I was just kidding! Come on.

What the hell is this place?

No, I'm not going in there.

Ah, don't put me in there!

Don't put me... No!

No, no! No!

Come on, man.

Let me out.

Undo my arms, man.

Come on, my shoulder's killing me.

San Diego three days ago.

Albuquerque. Fort Worth.

St. Louis. Lexington.

You made good time getting here.

I'll go back there.

You'll never see me again.

Gas. Fast food. No motels.

I slept off the road, by my bike.

Ahh, man...

What was the rush?

It was a stupid idea, man.

Who told you to come?

Nobody. I heard a rumour...

I swear to God!

I know somebody put you up to it.

Somebody's paying you.

Nah. No way.

You do your taxes?

What?

Income taxes.

I've never paid taxes in my life.

Then why did you keep all your receipts?

I, uh...

I didn't...

You thought you could charge expenses

to whoever is paying you.

I thought so.

You're going to tell me
everything I want to know.

What are you doing home? You okay?

Leo heard me puking and freaked
out about me handling food.

You look green.

I'm going to make you
some tea or something.

No, no, it's okay.

I'm still feeling kind of nauseous.

Maybe you got that bug
that's been going around.

I don't think it's the flu.

Like I said,

I don't think it's the flu.

I need a cocktail.

I'll make it two.

I don't know what you said
to Becky this afternoon,

but I do appreciate your help.

She was just a little
nervous, that's all.

She's off her meds, isn't she?

Oh... I know all about
the antidepressants.

For some reason, my kids think that
they should hide things from me.

Becky just doesn't want
to disappoint you.

A mother's life is full
of disappointments.

I'm disappointed
Diane's marriage failed,

that Becky's career isn't
what she wanted it to be.

My son and his girlfriend
need to keep it a secret

that they're living together.

We just didn't want to step

on Becky's big day, that's all.

Look, you raised three amazing children.

You should be proud.

Not just of them, but of
yourself as their mother.

Thank you.

Elena?

Would you excuse me?

- Hey.
- Hey, you.

Who was that?

It was a cousin of Colin's, I think.

Um, I'm just going to go freshen up.

- See you in a couple of seconds.
- Okay.

- Hurry back.
- Okay.

Sorry I missed the ceremony.

What the hell are you doing here?

We have some things to talk about.

You have five seconds.

It's not what you think.

I'm here 'cause I'm worried about you.

You're worried about me.

You have no idea what's really
happening back at Stonehaven.

Okay, you know what, I've had
enough of your lies about Clay

for one lifetime. Thanks.

They aren't lies.

Jeremy and the others haven't
been entirely honest with you.

What, and you have?

I tried to warn you.

Clay is out of control.

The Mutts killed Pete
to get back at him,

and from what I hear,

he just laid a beating on
some guy named Samuel Boggs.

No, you're lying.

Call him. Ask him.

He's dangerous.

I just fear that soon, that danger

is going to land on your doorstep.

So when Nick gets back, we'll
deal with any fallout from it.

Anything?

Marsten put him up to it.

Filled his head with dreams
of running the show.

Mutt was stupid enough to
think he had a chance.

Marsten had to know
that it wouldn't work.

This is a distraction.

They're playing games with us.

I'll bandage Boggs up
and send him packing.

I doubt he'll come within a hundred
miles of this place again.

No more half measures.

You really think that's necessary?

I want to make an example of him.

I want word to get out
that if you come at me,

there will be serious consequences.

See, if it were up to Clay,

he'd wipe out the Mutt
population singlehandedly.

You just ruined a $50 Casanegra.

Oh, Marsten's brand.

Coincidence?

Karl and I met,

we talked, we parted ways.

I took a cigar for the road.

What did you talk about?

The events of the past month.

The violence, the deaths.

Events that you had nothing to do with.

I'm just making sure I don't
get caught in the middle.

Oh, the middle?

Whatever happened to wanting
to re-join the Pack?

Yeah, well that's never
going to happen, is it?

Right, 'cause you never really
wanted it in the first place.

Elena,

right now, you and I are both outsiders.

We don't have to take part in this war.

- I'm not.
- Marsten and his crew

consider you aligned with
Jeremy and the Pack,

makes you their enemy.

I can protect you from what's to come.

I doubt that.

Well... you forget...

you're a long way from Stonehaven.

You got a good life here.

There's people that care about you.

Don't mess with that

by running back to fight for
something you don't even believe in.

You're putting yourself
at risk for nothing.

Oh, kinky!

Align with me

and the two of us can step
outside of this mess together.

I'd rather die.

Too bad.

Oh...

give my regards to Jeremy...

when you see him.

Okay, so just so we're clear:

two lines means...

We're pregnant.

Oh!

"Oh" is right.

I asked her to move in,

she said, "Yes."

I don't know why you would
try to hide that from me.

We were waiting for the
right moment to tell you,

which I guess is right now.

Look at you.

Seems like it was five minutes ago
you were running around in diapers.

You raised me to make good choices

in my life.

Trust that this is a good one.

Let her in, Mom.

Let yourself love her.

She's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Hey!

Looks like the pressure's
off us, for now.

Hello.

I've been trying to reach you.

Are you okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

Dennis Stillwell has been murdered,

and Joey's missing.

I'm concerned about your safety.

Elena?

Yeah, I'm here.

Everything's fine.

You need to stay in touch if anything
out of the ordinary happens,

you know that.

I will.

Like I said, everything's fine.

I really have to go.

Could I steal him for a dance?

- Absolutely.
- Thanks.

This isn't happening.

Hey, it's going to be okay.

I have waited three years for my shot.

I finally got a chance
at taking over from Leo

when he leaves to start his own place.

Plus, you've got your practice,

never mind the fact that we
haven't even talked about kids.

Grownups don't screw up like this.

I've... been so busy, I haven't been
keeping track of, you know, things.

Honestly, I don't even
know how far along I am.

I mean, what are we going to do?

We could start by asking the
question, "Do we want a child?"

Maybe...

eventually.

But now? I...

I'm not sure.

What about you?

I'm not sure either.

So we're back to where we started.

- Which is?
- I don't know!

Can you stop treating me
like one of your clients?

Would you like to take
this into your office

and charge me for a visit?

Rachel, come back.

Session's over, Logan.

Rachel!

Do you want to get out of here?

Where are we going?

Back to our place.

Our place.

I like the sound of that.

I'm just going to grab my jacket.

Okay.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I'll get that for you.
- Leaving already?

Uh...

Yeah.

Is everything all right?

You impressed me today with...

with Becky and with
the rest of my family.

And Philip is very lucky to have you.

I'm the lucky one.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hey.

Hey, um...

How's the big city?

I can't really talk right now.

Clay, what's wrong?

I've done things...

necessary things.

Clay...

They're coming at us hard, darlin', I...

I feel like I'm barely
holding my head above water.

Look... It won't end well

if it keeps going like this, Clay.

I know.

I want to be a better man, Elena.

I need you.

Please come home.

He, uh...

he changed halfway through.

Had to give him morphine to
force him back to human form.

When he comes to, send him on his way.

News will get back to Marsten.

She left.

Pardon me?

The blonde woman you came in with.

She left a few minutes ago.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Oh, I'm sorry. We made such a mess.

I'm just going to grab my
tote and come back tomorrow

to clean up if that's cool.

Oh, yeah, don't worry about it.

Okay.

Where's Elena?

She took off.

A text message. That's it?

An apology with no explanation.

I think I need a drink.

That girl knows how to keep me guessing.

She loves you, Philip.

I know that.

Just when I think she's
starting to open up,

she slams shut again.

I'm sure it all makes
sense when you guys talk.

I wish I was so convinced.

Pink Himalayan salt.

I had to scour the city to
find that at this hour.

It's apology salt for the way
that I reacted when you told me.

Babe...

you don't need
to apologize for anything.

At least I had some kind of
idea of what was going on.

Might as well have
punched you in the gut.

Well, I'm glad you didn't.

I've been... I've been
running our conversation

over and over in my head,

and I love... love my job.

I'm doing exactly what I want but...

making a person with you
is kind of amazing.

Yeah. It is amazing.

Okay, I know it's a lot of
take in for both of us.

So, I don't want to
make any decisions now.

Okay? We need to let this sink in and...

revisit our feelings in a couple days.

Now you sound like the therapist.

Aw, in that case...

the next hour's all yours.

Okay then.

Still up?

I was waiting.

I should have been with you.

We couldn't have known.

Come.

I kept...

thinking of the time the
four of us went hunting

up at Grandpa's property, long
before the Stillwells left the pack.

You and Dennis taught Joey and
me how to flush out a deer.

I kept thinking about
Joey losing his father...

what if that was you,
lying dead on the ground...

That's not going to be me.

- You can't say that.
- No, you're right.

You're right.

But you're my son,

and I want to protect
you from the truth,

'cause the truth is that no one is safe.

All we have is right now.

And right now, what you
did for Dennis today?

The way you put his body to rest:

I'm so very proud of you, Nicholas.

I'm so proud of you.

All right.

Let's go wake up the others.
We got a lot of work to do.

I wasn't able to find Joey.

But if he's alive and safe,

he'll join us once he finds
out they killed his father.

Whose death we will avenge right now.

Marsten likes to play in the shadows.

He has other people to do
his dirty work for him.

Have to find a way to draw him out.

Marsten's not the one
you should be worried about.

Daniel Santos found me in Toronto.

Santos did?

Yeah.

He had a lot to say.

And he left this for you.

You're not going to like what's inside.
