Bitten (2014–2016): Season 1, Episode 8 - Prisoner - full transcript

While Nick takes on the gut-wrenching task of erasing Antonio's existence in the human world, and Jeremy is sidelined by with a strange poison, Elena and Clay are left alone to deal with the Mutt situation in Bear Valley. Clay and Elena must hurry to find out what toxin is killing Jeremy. Clay is determined to get whatever information he can out of Cain, who is caged in the War Room. Elena heads to town to track down the mysterious woman who stabbed Jeremy in the Mutt's ambush. The two women confront each other at the Bear Valley Diner, where Elena learns that this woman, Amber (Eve Harlow), is Cain's human girlfriend - a werewolf groupie who would like nothing more than to have Elena's lifestyle. When Marsten and LeBlanc arrive on the scene try to intimidate Elena, she turns the tables on them, discovering that LeBlanc slashed Jeremy with a blade tainted with ricin. She makes it back to Stonehaven in time to save her Alpha.

Previously on "Bitten"...

When did you get this?

Oh.
Six-month anniversary present.

Gentlemen, what do you think?

Amanda here is going to overhaul
the place for me.

My ad agency wants to acquire
some of the footage you shot.

Wolves running at Cherry Beach.

I wish there was a way
to improve the quality, though.

Aah!

Antonio!

It's time for you to rest now.



We should start our own pack.

It doesn't work like that.
You're not one of us.

Just one little bite, and I
could be your werewolf queen.

- So where do we start?
- Cain.

Don't kill him.
We need him.

I guarantee you will tell me
where to find them

before I'm done with you.

Jeremy!

Hey.

♪ When you tremble ♪

♪ You tremble for me ♪

♪ When you tremble ♪

♪ You tremble with me ♪

♪ When you lie ♪



♪ You lie for me ♪

♪ When you lie ♪

♪ Your lies are for me ♪

We should get the pyre built.

I don't know if I can do
any more funerals.

Nothing's going to happen
until Nick gets back

and Jeremy gets better.

I feel like we failed Antonio.

We did.

I thought I collapsed
from blood loss.

But a night's rest
should've fixed that.

There's something wrong, Elena.

Very difficult to breathe.

I don't understand.

You're healing normally,
but you're burning up.

There has to be some sort
of poison in my bloodstream.

They must have dipped the knife
in a toxin.

What do I need to do
to find an antidote?

We need to figure out
what the toxin is first.

The wrong course of treatment
could be fatal.

Jeremy's been poisoned.

We have to find out
what they used on the knife.

- How much time do we have?
- I don't know.

It doesn't look good.
It could be hours.

I'm gonna find the mutts.

Give me a chance.

Cain will know.
I'll get it out of him.

And if you can't?

We'll figure something out.

Better go fast, then.

I'll make him talk.

I don't think he wants to talk.

Where are you going?

I have to find the mutts.

And if you tell me
that I can't go by myself,

I'll break your arm.

You can't go out there
by yourself.

- We don't have time for this.
- Stay here. I'll work on Cain.

You know what? Last time
I checked, wolves don't talk.

I'm gonna find out
what they poisoned Jeremy with.

Your vengeance can come later.

What's your plan?

You're gonna drive around and
hope they're out for a stroll?

There was a woman with them.

I'm gonna find her.

Any sign of the mutts,
you're going to call me.

I'll be there.
We do this together.

I'm not gonna do anything
without backup.

Any sign of trouble, I'll call,
all right?

Okay.

Nick.

I sent everyone home.
You won't be disturbed.

I'm sorry about this.

I needed a quiet spot.

We can start back on the renos
tomorrow. No problem.

I only have one set of keys.

Can you come back around 6:00?
I'll be here.

Sure.

Please welcome Brandy
to the main stage.

Nicky.

- Hey.
- Jorge.

You look great!

Look at you. Get in here!

What are we doing meeting
at a strip joint, huh?

It's not a...

Never mind that.

Have a seat, okay?

Yeah.

You want a drink?

It's not even noon yet.

You haven't changed.
Always a party with you.

You got a bunch of girls
back there?

No girls, Jorge.

I called you because I need
your help as a lawyer.

Yeah.
Whatever you need, Nicky.

My father is dead.

Nicky.

Don't joke around like that,
man.

I wish I were.

I have to give you
a little respect.

I'm starting to think you're not
that stupid after all.

You're thinking
as long as you stay a wolf,

I won't be able to question you.

Not a bad plan.

You'd be right,
except for one thing.

I've done this before.

This is looking pretty good.

I was doing frame grabs
as I went.

You want to hear
something weird?

I don't think this Nate guy was
being totally honest with us.

No?

He said he was out
at Cherry Beach just hanging.

At night.

I don't think he was out there
for the fresh air.

Our little Nate's a perv.

Look at this.

See that?

- It's clothes.
- Yeah.

See how they're nicely stacked
and tucked out of the way?

It looks like someone
was getting naked out there.

I think Nate was busy creeping
on some lovers.

What is it?

Nothing.
I... I just hope you're wrong.

What difference does it make?

You... You can still use it
for your campaign, right?

Mm.
That's the thing.

If we use this

and we find out later that he
was shooting people having sex,

that is what's gonna be
splashed all over the Internet.

It'll be a PR disaster.

Peeping Tom Vodka.

I am gonna have to go
and talk to Nate

and see if he has any additional
footage that he hasn't shown us.

I told you we make a great team.

We did.

It's all on there.

I even threw in an app I wrote
to tweak the settings...

gamma, contrast,
stuff like that.

- Sylvie...
- I believe you

with all this
"I love my girlfriend" stuff.

You're a good guy, Philip.

But think for a second.

You know six of my friends
who could've done this for you,

but you called me.

Why put yourself
in that position

unless somewhere, deep down,
you wanted me to be here?

I was hoping that we could be
mature.

Really?

I'm looking around.

Where is she?

Yeah.
That's what I thought.

Gotcha.

Santos, Marsten, Cain.
They've organized.

They took out the Stillwells
and they killed Pete.

I should talk to Jeremy.

I love you, cuz.
But you're not inner circle.

Jeremy asked me to talk to you,
and that's how it's gonna be.

All right. No problem.
I didn't mean anything by it.

They caught us off guard,
but nothing has changed.

We are still the pack.

These assholes think
they can come at Stonehaven,

but we are gonna teach them
a lesson once and for all.

What do you need from me?

There is the matter
of my father's life

in the human world.

We need to erase it before
anyone starts asking questions.

Everyone else can think
that Jeremy let him retire.

I need to trust your discretion.

I'll take that drink.

Don't worry, Jorge.

Everything's under control.

Yeah.
Okay, Nicky.

One more thing.

No more "Nicky."

Okay?

Yeah.

All right.

I wouldn't do that.

That only gets tighter
when you pull.

What do you want?

Just to talk.

I ain't got nothing to say.

Well, that's up to you.

But you see the way
the rope's looped?

A wolf's shoulder can't rotate
in that direction.

So if you try to change,

your arms will rip out
of their sockets.

That's also up to you.

Shit.

Hey.

Hey.
I was just thinking about you.

Thought I'd check in.

Everything's fine.

Have you been running?

I just noticed you left
all of your running gear here,

and I know how much you like
to run.

Um, I'm not really thinking
about that.

No. No.
I get that.

But you and Logan run together.

You have that spot somewhere
down in Cherry Beach, right?

Look, I know this is difficult,
okay, me being away

and dealing with family,
but it'll be done soon.

That necklace I gave you
for our anniversary...

Are you wearing it now?

You're acting strange.
What's going on?

Nothing.

I just want things to be normal.

Come back soon.

Love you.

Me too.

What was used
to poison the blade?

What are you talking about?

I don't know anything
about any poison.

Oh.
LeBlanc poisoned his blade?

Holy shit.

Looks like Santos bit a winner
after all.

Just tell me where they are
so I can find out what he used.

Shove it up your ass, bro.

Take a look around.
Huh?

This place wasn't built
for quiet reflection.

So why don't you start talking

while I'm still feeling
friendly?

Oh.

Okay, Mr. Friendly.

You know that shitheel Pete?

I held him down.

Sat on his chest.

He was like a helpless,
snot-nosed little kid

in a schoolyard.

Squealing and crying
like a little girl.

"Oh, please don't hurt me.

Please!
Please!

It hurts!"

And I was staring
right in his face

when LeBlanc took that knife
and ran it across his throat.

And this was the last thing
he saw.

I'm not afraid of you.

So bring it.

Come on.
Bring it, you son of a bitch.

That's it!
Bring it.

Come on.
You know you want to finish it.

So do it.

Do it.

Do it.
Huh?

You're not getting off
that easy.

Coward!

What have you got?

Well, the mystery girl's
with Cain.

I just found their love nest...
an RV off the 275.

- Any trouble?
- No. All her stuff's still here.

I think I'll just sit on it
and hope that she comes back.

Maybe she'll lead us
to where the mutts are hiding.

Okay.
You remember the deal.

I'll call.

I'm not interested
in taking them on by myself.

Who's the girl?

I got an idea.

How about you untie me

and we finish this
the old-fashioned way?

We found your RV.

Won't be long
before we find her.

Who is she?

Some skank I picked up
in Jonestown.

I took her off a biker.

She stabbed Jeremy.

Good.

I guess she'll do anything
for a bag of coke

and a couple of rocks
of crystal, huh?

She don't know shit
from shingles.

Then where is she?

How do I know?
I'm in here.

She's probably tweaked
out of her mind

or blowing some trucker

on their way back to Bumblast,
Pennsylvania.

What do I care?

All right.
I closed out Antonio's accounts.

Moved them offshore.

You'll be the only one
with access.

Good.

Now, they're expecting him
in New York next week.

He's probably got a bunch of
board meetings and a schedule.

Book him on a flight
to Frankfurt.

Six-hour layover.

And then Rome.

We're gonna need a cover story.

That bunch on Wall Street, they
gossip more than a quilting bee.

Anyone looking for him will
think he had a midlife crisis.

I'll start dropping hints.

He wanted out.
He'd had enough.

He wanted to grow grapes
and make wine.

Let the rumor mill take care
of the rest.

Before you know it,
there'll be 20 different stories

about why he disappeared.

That should do it.

I learned from the best.

Nobody could make a dead wolf
disappear quite like my dad.

Here's to Antonio.

After today, he takes his place
in the Legacy.

Long may it last.

The blood pressure
is dangerously low.

Where's Elena?

Tracking the woman
who stabbed you.

No. We need to tell her about
the first day at Stonehaven.

This isn't your deathbed.
Not yet.

What about Cain?

He doesn't seem to know
about the poison.

Do what you have to do.
Hurt him.

I don't think that'll work.

He wants me to finish him off.

The closer it gets,
the longer he'll hold out.

He was always a strong one.

He's loyal, even for a mutt.

Would've made a good pack member
if he wasn't such an asshole.

My first change
was at Rushford Lake.

My father tied a rock around my
neck and threw me in the water.

We don't need to talk about
Malcolm now.

You're nothing like he was.

He wanted me to experience
the feeling of death as a boy...

and as a wolf.

He wanted me to feel it.

I...

I can still feel the black...
w-waters.

I would do anything
to trade places with you.

My father is the poison
in my blood.

I'm a boy.

It's my blood.

That's the poison.

My father's the poison.

Must be tough to get your share

when you live with someone
like Cain.

Let's talk.

Tell me Cain is still alive.

He's alive.

For now.

Is he hurt?

I don't know.
I've been busy looking for you.

How did you find me?

You forgot about Cain's truck.

I assume you know who I am.

Elena, right?

I'm Amber.

You stabbed my friend, Amber.

You mean your Alpha?

What did Cain tell you?

You mean about
the whole werewolf thing?

Lower your voice.

Maybe I'll shout it
from the rooftops.

Where is my man?

He's alive.

And whether or not he stays
that way depends on you.

I can't feel my arms.

Rub under your armpits.
It'll get the circulation going.

You hungry?

I'm starving.

Zachary Cain.

Father... Theo Cain,
werewolf from Holcomb, Kansas.

Where do I know that from?

I don't know.
It's my old man's hometown.

"In Cold Blood."

Truman Capote wrote a book
about a pair of drifters

who went to Holcomb
and murdered a family.

Happens all the time.
Why write a book?

Well, you must know
the drifter life.

Your father was never pack.

Alone, cut off,

never staying anywhere
long enough to feel at home.

What would you know about it?

I was bitten when I was 7.

Campsite outside of Baton Rouge.

I ended up feral and alone.

My family couldn't find me,
and eventually they gave up.

I know what it feels like
to be alone...

in the swamps,

nothing but a crazy hunger
and a need.

Yeah.

We all got a little bit of that.

My old man taught me
how to stay alive.

It was Jeremy who found me.

Gave me a home.

A place.
This place.

Well, isn't that good for you.

Could be for you, too.

We don't have to fight
each other.

You don't have to be going
from one shitty town to another

in a string of stolen cars.

You can have a place
of your own.

Join the pack.

Why not?

What about Pete?

All that's forgiven?

Or do I wake up one day
with a noose around my neck?

Pete always put the pack
ahead of vengeance.

So will I.

Just tell me where to find them.

Cain signed your death warrant.

It's a basic rule.
You can't know about us.

That's your rule, not Cain's.

That's your rule, not Cain's.

It's the only reason
we've survived this long.

The pack can't let you live.

You will be tracked and killed

by the best hunters
in the world.

So why don't you kill me?

I'm not the only one
you should be worried about.

Cain told me the rule
when I found out.

He couldn't do it, though.

He'd rather risk punishment
than kill me.

I thought,
"A real live werewolf.

And he loves me."

Then I found out about you.

The one woman who survived
being bitten.

You're living the life I want.

I could be with Cain
and no one would hunt me.

You asked him to bite you.

He won't do it.

He's afraid of losing me.

He says it would break
his heart.

He's got this thing
in his big, thick head

that you're special somehow.

But I could survive it.

You know I could.

I could be just like you.

Trust me.

You don't want this.

Want to know something else
my old man showed me?

Hmm?

How to live free.

You see, I was born a wolf,
baby.

I come from a long line
going back hundreds of years,

and I don't owe anybody
anything.

You get bitten in.
You think you know the score.

Boo-hoo.
You lived in a swamp.

You see, that's the trouble
with the pack.

They'll let
any Johnny-come-lately

Louisiana turd
stink up the clubhouse.

Your father died with a bottle
of corn liquor in his hand

and a baseball bat
to the back of the head.

Is that how you want to go?

Antonio Sorrentino
spilled his guts on a dirt road.

We all got to go somehow.

Mr. Danvers.
I'm so glad you're home.

Jeremy isn't here.

It's you I wanted to talk to.
I came by the other day.

You were supposed to call me.

What's it about?

Well, we're investigating
the murder of Michael Braxton.

It's a terrible thing.

I was hoping to clear up
a few things,

scratch you off my list.

Wow.
I'm on a list.

It's the way these things work.

Everyone's on the list
until we narrow it down.

Just a couple questions.
Shouldn't take too long.

It's, um, not really something
I can do standing on your stoop.

Right.

Well, um, I was just about to
head into town,

so I'll stop by the station.

Great. Shouldn't take
too much of your time.

I'll grab my jacket.

I need to know about the poison.

Poison?
What are you talking about?

You coated your knife
with something.

I need to know what it is.

That must have been LeBlanc.

I try to stay away from him.
The guy skeeves me out.

He should.

He's a serial killer, Amber.

Bring Cain back to me,

and I'll tell you where to find
LeBlanc.

Let's go.

You show me where they are,

and I will do what I can to get
Cain back to you, I promise.

How do I know you're not gonna
kill him and me anyway?

All I can do is talk to Jeremy,
but it is your only hope.

They told me you would say
something like that.

They were right
about a lot of things.

Here they are.

Oh, run along, dearie.

We'll take it from here.

Hello, Elena.

Biting in psychos was one thing.

But I never thought you'd be
this reckless, Karl.

How could you let a human know
about us?

Are you out of your mind?

It wasn't my call.

I'm merely a passenger
on this ride.

Still looking out for yourself,
I see.

I believe they call it
"looking out for number one."

And yes indeed, I am.

Something you should be
thinking about doing, too.

All I'm thinking about
is snapping your neck.

Mm.

I like that.

The ones that try to fight back
are the most fun.

Hmm.

Well, then you're gonna have
a blast with me.

I believe Daniel Santos made you
an offer.

It still stands.

You don't want to end up
on your own out there.

Believe me, it's no picnic.

I don't get it, Karl.

What did the pack ever do
against you?

Hasn't done much for me either.

How many times must I ask
for territory?

I could kill you right now.

A slice down your femoral artery
would be so easy.

You'd bleed out in 30 seconds.

You could try.

These are rash, these ones.

But Mr. LeBlanc knows better.

Don't you?

What are you doing?

You make a public scene,

and it won't take long
until the cops grab you

and bring you back to wherever
it is that you came from.

I'm an expert at keeping
a low profile.

- Really?
- Uh-huh.

Remember... low profile.

You bitch.

Tell me about the poison.

It won't do you any good.

It's already too late.

Ricin.
Damn it. Ricin.

You're going to stand up...

and you're gonna let me out
of this booth.

And you're gonna let me out
of this booth.

Do as the lady says.

Clay?

Okay.

You've been poisoned with ricin.

With ricin?

Tell me what you need me to do.

I need a blood transfusion.

We never checked
for compatibility.

We're the same.

What are we drinking to?

Nothing.
We're just drinking.

'96 Toscana.

Nice.

I was there when these grapes
were grown.

Little villa outside of Peralta.

Just my father and me.

A vacation?

Life lessons.

We roamed the hills
and olive orchards...

lemon trees, jasmine.

He... He taught me how to track
wild boar

through chestnut groves
using just smell.

I've never heard you talk
about your father before.

He taught me everything I know.

Like what?

The chase is about feeling
what your prey is feeling.

Is that right?

It's timing
when you make your move.

Not when you're ready,
but when they are.

That beat of anticipation.

When they know it's coming.

When every nerve ending
is crackling...

ready for it.

It's the moment
when they are most alive.

Are you trying to seduce me,
Nick?

Nope.

That part's already done.

You looking to rent?

Oh, God.
No.

I'm, uh, just looking for
the guy that used to live here.

- I think you mean woman.
- No, no. It was a young guy.

Um, Nate.

Only person that lived here
was an old hag named Liz.

Maybe it was her grandson
or something.

And there was...
there was computers and stuff.

She didn't know a computer
from a toaster.

She died here about a month ago.

She was a bit of a shut-in.

No friends, no family,
and definitely no Nate.

What are you talking about?

I was here yesterday.

There was equipment everywhere.

Buddy, what do you want me
to tell you?

You either got
the wrong building

or you're remembering wrong.

Come on.

How's Jeremy?

It was ricin.

Gave him some of my blood.
He should be okay.

Where were you?

The sheriff came by.

She wanted to ask questions
about Braxton.

I had to get her out of here.

They think you did it.

They don't have anything.

They're fishing.

How did you know it was ricin?

I had a talk with LeBlanc
at the diner.

Before you say anything,

he left with a broken wrist
and I got the information.

Every time we get close,
they slip away.

Saving Jeremy was more
important, don't you think?

God damn it!
You were supposed to call me!

What is it, Clay?

Are you angry
because I was right?

No, I'm pissed that you fight me

on every simple thing
I ask you to do.

Oh, I'm sorry
that I don't follow your orders.

I'm trying to protect you.

Where was that attitude
four years ago?

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

I talked to Cain's girlfriend,
Amber.

She knows about us...
about the werewolves.

That's who he's protecting,
not the rest of the mutts.

She knows and you let her go?

You're not listening to me.

Cain fell in love with a girl,

Cain fell in love with a girl,

so much so that he told her
who he really was.

He trusted her,
and she accepted it.

Then she has to die.

Don't you see?

No matter how much she asks him
to bite her,

he can't do it because he's
afraid of losing her.

He won't take that chance.
He won't risk her life.

That's love.

Oh.
Is that supposed to scare me?

You son of a bitch.

There's no point in pretending
anymore.

I know about Amber.

No.

No.
You got to listen to me.

- You got to listen...
- You told her about us.

She knows.

Yeah,
but she won't say anything.

You got to believe me.
You got to believe me.

Tell me where they're hiding.

I can't.
You'll kill her.

I have to kill her anyways.

Maybe I'll let her have
her wish.

I'll find her in the night
and I'll bite her,

only I won't stop biting.

No.
It's Santos.

He has a backup plan.
L-I heard him on his phone.

- Tell me where they're hiding.
- It's Jimmy Koenig.

He's coming real soon, Clay.

Please.

Don't hurt her.

Kill me, but don't hurt her.

Don't hurt her.
Look at me, Clay.

Look...
Don't hurt her.

Don't hurt her.

Do you love her?

More than anything.

Is that why you joined Santos?

'Cause you knew what we'd do
if we found out about her?

I just want to protect her
and keep her safe.

Do you play out your life
with her in your head?

Picture the two of you
growing old together?

All the time.

You imagine what it'd be like
to have kids?

A family you never had?

Yeah.

She's my soul mate.

You were right about one thing.

Yeah?

Oh, my God!

For killing Pete,
you will never be forgiven.

- You're looking better.
- Were you able to reach Logan?

I texted him a few times.

I didn't hear back.

But I can see
he's picking them up.

You need to find out
what's going on with him.

What?

I want your opinion.

I'm never gonna fill
my father's shoes.

I wouldn't even try.

Go on, Nick.

Logan knows his place.

We'll hear from him.

Right now we need to focus
on finding Marsten, Santos,

LeBlanc, and anyone else
in league with them.

I will kill them myself
with pleasure.

Cain?

- He's done.
- I'll help you with the body.

It's my responsibility.

I'll deal with it.

We have another problem.

Santos hired Jimmy Koenig.

He's coming for us.

Koenig.
Why do I know that name?

He was the pack enforcer,
long before I became Alpha.

You know all those files
about dead mutts down there?

Koenig is responsible
for most of them.

My father used to call him
the Killing Machine.

Sleep.

We'll start planning for Koenig
in the morning.

You were right.
