Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 11 - Alpha Pact - full transcript

With the threat growing far more personal and time running out on innocent lives, Scott is forced to make a difficult choice in order to save both friends and family while, at the same time...

Previously on "Teen Wolf"...

[roars]
What are you?

The only person who can save
your sister.

Guardians, Scott.
You help me catch her.

I'll help you get your mother
and Stiles's father back.

Scott, don't do this.
Don't go with him.

Derek, look at me.

[roars]

[smack]

Derek?
[grunts]

Derek, come on!



[frantic music]

[grunts]

[grunts]



Where is she?

Jennifer?
Gone with Scott's mom.

- He took her?
- Yeah, and if that's not

enough of a kick to the balls,

Scott left
with Deucalion, okay?

So we gotta get you
out of here.

The police are coming
right now,

and we gotta get you
the hell out of here.

Whoa.

What about Cora?



[tires screech]

You see the twins?

No.

But I see the Argents.

[distant howl]

- What is it?
- A retreat.

Not to bring up
uncomfortable memories,

but wasn't
the last time you saw them

the time you killed Kate and
then they burned you alive, hmm?

- Where are the others?
- I don't know.

Scott and Stiles went back
for Derek and Jennifer.

I had to get Cora out.

Where's Scott and Stiles?

Stiles is
still at the hospital.

He's gonna hold off
the cops for us.

We have to go right now.

What about Scott
and Melissa?

Jennifer took Melissa.

What about Scott?

Derek, where's Scott?

[sirens wailing]

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]
Oh, just perfect.

A Stilinski at the center
of this whole mess.

What a shocker.

Think you can answer
some questions

without the usual level
of sarcasm?

If you ask the questions

without the usual level
of stupid.

Where's your dad, and why's
no one been able to contact him?

I don't know.
I haven't seen him in hours.

Is he drinking again?

[sighs]

What do you mean, again?
He never had to stop.

But he did have
to slow down.

Is he drinking
like he used to?

All right, how about this?
Next time I see him,

I'll give him
a field sobriety test, okay?

We'll do the alphabet,
start with "f,"

end with "u."

How about you just tell me
what the hell happened here?

[exhales]

I don't know
what happened here.

I was stuck in the elevators
the whole time.

You're not the one
who put the name on the doors,

are you?

What name?

[ominous music]

[gasping]

She's dying, isn't she?

I don't know.

So what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Want to figure
something out?

Because while Scott and Stiles
were out there

trying to help people
from being killed,

you were in here,

rolling around the sheets
with the actual killer.

Do you get how many people
she's killed?

Erica and Boyd are dead,
Cora is dying,

and you are doing nothing!

Why'd you do this to us, Derek?

Was it all about the power?

Were you bored?

Were you lonely?

Maybe.

I told Cora I wouldn't leave.

I'll help the others when
I figure out how to help her.

There's no time!

[tense music]



The full moon's coming.

The sheriff and Melissa
are gonna be dead,

so I'm gonna try
and help them.

You can sit here and perfect
the art of doing nothing.

[door slams]

I wouldn't take it personally.

Anger is just a tool.

He's using it to excuse
shifting allegiance

from one alpha to another.

From you to Scott.

Scott's not an alpha yet.

But he's on his way,
isn't he?

The word is guardian,
Allison.

More than anyone,
you know that's a role

I haven't exactly
lived up to lately.

But she took Scott's mother
and Stiles's father.

That's not a coincidence.

Yeah, I'd also consider the fact

that someone put your name
up in large block letters

on the elevator doors.

That kind of felt
like a warning to me.

I think it might be Morrell.

She knows a lot more
than she lets on,

and she might even be trying
to help us.

Well, she needs to get on that
a lot faster, okay?

Seeing as how
the lunar eclipse

is less
than two freaking nights away.

Stiles, don't give up hope.

- They could already be dead.
- I don't think so.

There's something
about Jennifer's tactics.

It's like
she's still positioning,

still moving pieces
into place.

And you're one of them.

Then let's not wait around
to see the next move.

Everything she's done has been
on a Telluric current,

so Melissa and the sheriff
have to be

somewhere on one
of those currents, right?

Stiles,

if we're gonna find them,

we need your help.

You seriously want
to go after her?

I mean, what if she just
takes you like the others, huh?

No offense,
but what's the difference

between you and them?

I'm carrying a .45.

Maybe she can heal
from a shot to the leg

and a few slashes
to the face,

but personally, I'd like to see
how she holds up

with half her skull
blown off.

We've got one priority
right now,

and that is to find Melissa
and your dad.

We've got a map and every clue
we need to figure this out.

The only thing we don't have

is time, which is why I need

both of you.

[sighs]

Where do we start?

The place where the sacrifices
have been committed have usually

been different from where
the bodies have been found.

I think the placement has to do
with the strength

of the current,
so there's the school,

the animal clinic, the bank.

Wait a sec,
she wouldn't use

the same place twice,
would she?

Only if she didn't succeed
the first time.

- Scott's boss.
- Deaton.

It was her only failure.
That could mean something.

That's just one place
so far.

We're gonna need
a lot more help.

What about Lydia?

Lydia?
What can she do?

Uh, Lydia's got
sort of a talent.

She somehow ended up finding
a couple of the bodies, um,

without actually looking
for them.

What is she?
Psychic?

She's something.

[gasping]

[tense music]



[both breathing heavily]

Careful.

[panting]

Don't worry.

I know going too far
could kill me.

That's not exactly
what I meant.

[electronic music]



Whoa.
[gun clicks]

I thought you guys
were retired.

Retired, yes.
Defenseless, no.

Make sure your phone's on.

If you hear from Scott,

you let us know immediately.

Yeah, I'm thinking
that's gonna be

kind of unlikely.

Both of you,
try to remember he's just doing

what he thinks is right.

I can't shoot a gun
or use a crossbow, but...

Well, I'm...

I'm getting pretty good
with these.

I've heard it's something
only an alpha can do,

and with good reason.
Which is?

You know normal wolves
never abandon

an injured member
of the pack.

They care for it.

They bring it food
from a kill

and then regurgitate it
into the mouth

of the injured wolf.

They even give it physical
and emotional comfort

by intensely grooming it.

In a way, they can do more
than just ease pain.

They can be instrumental
in healing their own.

If you're trying to tell me
I can save her,

just tell me.

I'm telling you...

I've heard it's possible.

How?

It's that spark of power

that makes you an alpha.

When you take her pain,
she draws on the power

that provides you
with those special gifts.

The power that heightens
your senses, your strength.

The power
that transforms your body.

As an alpha,
you have that bit of extra,

that spark intensifies
the color of your eyes

from a bright yellow
into a searing red.

- If I can save her...
- If.

If.

I didn't say
it works every time.

It could just as easily
kill you.

How do I do it?

By taking her pain?

And then some.

Because there's a cost.

[mellow music]

Okay, sweetheart,
this is not a problem.

Having gotten my share
of hickeys in high school,

I developed some patented
cover-up methods.

If you don't want to go
to school, honey,

you don't have to.

That's not it.

It's just...

Someone tried
to strangle me...

And I survived.



I don't need to hide that.



No.
No, you don't.



But we're still gonna do
your hair, right?

Of course we are doing
my hair.

[laughs]

[door creaks]

[foreboding music]



It's empty.

Be careful anyway.

[flicks baton]

I thought you only used those
on werewolves.

I do.

[gasps]

[grunts]

- What the hell are you doing?
- I'm sorry.

But you're just gonna have
to trust me on this.

I knew for a long time
she didn't just operate

on the currents.

She was in sync with them.

[faint whirring]

[dramatic choral music]



Now this is a sacrifice.



[whirring]

I don't believe it.

Scott can't really be with them.
He can't be.

You didn't see
the look on his face, though.

It was...

Then what can I do?

I mean, I get
that I'm some kind of, like,

human geiger counter for death,

but... I don't know
how to turn it on and off yet.

All I know is that she tried
to kill me because of...

Because of what?

Hey, Lydia, what?

When she called me
a banshee,

she was surprised by it.

What if that's not
why she tried to kill me?

Then why did she?

That's what we need
to find out.

[gasps]

Why did he do that?

I don't know.

We need to go.

Okay?
We need help.

[dramatic music]



Allison...

Allison, we have to go.

They're all gonna die.

Aren't they?

[breathing shakily]



I can understand not seeing
a downside to this,

as you haven't exactly been
alpha of the year,

but think about what else
you'd be losing.

I don't care about power.

Not anymore.

What about the power
to fight back?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but
Kali's ultimatum still stands.

The full moon
is tomorrow night,

and if you couldn't beat her
as an alpha,

how do you think
you're gonna fare as a beta?

I don't care.

What if this was exactly

what Jennifer was hoping for?

She would know the only way
for you to save Cora

would be giving up
your power.

Maybe that's what she was gonna
have you do at the hospital.

Why?

So that you
wouldn't be able

to face the alphas
without her.

She wants you
to come to her.

It's all part
of her little seduction,

and she is still seducing you.

She needs you on her side.

Aiden's not texting me back.

[indistinct chatter]

Okay, well,
maybe we could just...

We could go over there and...
[phone vibrates]

What?

Oh, god.

What is it now?

It's from Isaac.

Jennifer, she t...

She has Allison's father.
She took him.

She's got all three now.

There's still time.
[heart pounding]

We still have time, right?

[gasping]
Stiles?

[voice echoing]
Are you okay?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Stiles.

I think I'm having
a panic attack.

[gasping]

[gasps]

You okay over there?

[panting]

Chris?
It's Chris, right?

Yeah.

Oh.
[chuckles]

Is it just me, or has somebody
been here before?

Years ago.

[grunting]

Hate to disappoint you,

but we watched her
take your ankle knife.

And the knife
that's in your sleeve.

And the switchblade
in your other sleeve.

[groans]

[grunting]

And the taser
in your jacket pocket.

[suspenseful music]



Argent...

The french word for silver.

Ah, ah, ah.

Interesting how truth
becomes altered by legend...

When it's not actually
the metal silver

that kills werewolves
but the family.

What's the Argent code again?

"We hunt those
who hunt us"?

I hope you don't mind if
I borrow it for a little while,

since I've been hunted myself.

Don't pretend like we have
the same cause.

I don't kill
innocent people.

That's why they call it
a sacrifice,

and I wish it worked
another way.

But think
about what you're doing.

You are making this town...

Even this world...
safer for your children.

Well...
[chuckles]

Most of them.

[panting]
Okay.

Come on.
Come on.

[gasping]

Just try and think
about something else,

anything else.

- Like what?
- Uh, happy things.

Good things.
Uh, friends, family.

[gasping]
Oh, I mean-not family.

Oh, god.
Okay, uh, just...

Try and slow your breathing.

[gasping]
I can't. I can't.

[hyperventilating]

Shh, shh.
Stiles, look at me.

Shh, look at me.

Shh, Stiles.

[pop tune]



Ooh.

How'd you do that?

I, uh...

I read once that...

Holding your breath
could stop a panic attack.

So when I kissed you...

You held your breath.

I did?

Yeah.
You did.


Thanks.

Really smart.

[chuckles]



I just...

I don't know.
I just read it somewhere.

And if I was really smart,

I would tell you to sign up
for a few sessions

with a guidance counselor.

[dramatic music]



Morrell.



Are you here for Ms. Morrell?

No, I thought
this was gym class.

Sweetheart, we're not
in the mood for funny.

Do you know where she is?

If I did, I wouldn't be
waiting here for 20 minutes.

So how about you two
back out the door

and wait your turn?

- We're not here for a session.
- Well, I am.

And I've got some serious issues
to work on.

Hey, wait, wait.
You're Danielle.

You're heather's best friend.

I was
heather's best friend.

We've been working on that issue
three times a week.

Hold on, did you say
Ms. Morrell's 20 minutes late?

And I don't know why either.

She's always on time.

I was seeing her at
the beginning of the semester.

She was never late.

Then she's not late.
She's missing.

What if we're not
the only ones who think

she knows something?

Then I want to know
what she knows.

- What are you doing?
- Trying to find her.

- Those files are private.
- Yeah, she's kind of right.

That one's yours.

Let me see that.

Wait, Lydia,
that's your drawing.

Yeah, I know.
It's a tree.

Yeah, good too.

- Thank you.
- No.

But that's the same one, though.
Same as what?

The same one I always see you
drawing in class.

It's a tree.
I like drawing trees.

No, but it's
the exact same one.

Don't you see?

Give me your bag.

There, see?

[eerie music]



Okay, you can have
my session.

You got bigger issues.

[gasping]
What is this?

I know where they are.

It's the nemeton.
That's where she's keeping them.

It has to be...
Stilinski.

Agh.

All right, look,
go to Derek, okay?

He and Peter,
they've been there before,

so they'll know
where it is.

Tell them it's the root cellar,
all right?

They'll know.

Did you know your dad's car
is in the school parking lot

and has been
since last night?

No.
What does that mean?

It means
he's officially missing.

Stiles, why am I getting
the feeling

you know something that could
help us find your dad?

If I did,
why would I not tell you?

If it meant helping your dad,
why wouldn't you?

So you're asking me
to tell you

what I wouldn't not tell you?

First, I have no idea
what you just said.

Second, how about you
just help me help you?

Well, I don't know
how to help you help me

tell you something
that would help you

if I don't know it.

Are you doing this
on purpose?

I don't know anything, okay?
Can I just go?

Where are
your other friends?

- You mean Scott?
- I mean Scott.

I mean Isaac Lahey,
Allison Argent,

these twins
Ethan and Aiden.

I've been told
your whole little cliqué

didn't show up
at school today.

- I don't have a cliqué.
- Stiles, come on.

There's been a pretty disturbing
amount of violent activity

in this county
in the last few months,

several murders
tied to this school.

I don't know
what's going on here,

but it's serious.

And... hey.

Your dad is missing.

Fine.

But I don't want you
going home alone.

You have someone
you can stay with tonight?

He's with me.

- You.
- Me.

You.

[sighs]
Me.

Derek, we have a visitor.

[dramatic music]



[distant howl]

[panting, snarling]

[growls]

This way.

It's a firefly.

Unusual for this region.

It's because of Jennifer, isn't it?

Just before all this started,

A deer crashed
into Lydia's car.

The cats went crazy
at the animal clinic.

Birds flew
into the high school.

That was all her.

They say animals can sense
natural disasters

when they're
about to happen.

Maybe they can sense
supernatural ones as well.

Does she scare you?

She concerns me
if she's willing to kill

that many innocent people
for her cause,

people like your mother
and Stiles's father.

Are you willing to kill
innocent people?

I'll kill any living thing
that gets in my way.

You don't know where it is?

But Stiles said
you'd been there.

We have.

But after a few
memorable experiences there,

Talia... Derek's mother
and my older sister...

Decided that she didn't ever
want us going back.

She knew how dangerous
it was

and took the memory
of its location from us.

[eerie music]

But then how are we
supposed to find it?



[both grunt]

[grunts]
[grunts]

[growling]

[growls]

[growls]

[panting]

How did you know, Marin,

that we'd come for you?

Because Jennifer and I
are the same.

And I know you've always
been suspicious of us,

of what we can do.

With good reason.

We know you sent
that girl...

The one who helped Isaac.

- Whoa.
- Isaac, get down!

[grunts]

What was her name?

Braeden.

And I sent her to do
what I've always done...

Maintain balance.

What do you know
about Jennifer?

Nothing more than you know.

This isn't you, Scott.

Go back to your friends.

He can decide
what's right for himself.

Not without
all the information.

Have you told him
everything you've done?

How you've piled up bodies

in a narcissisticaly
psychotic effort to form

your perfect pack?

Bodies that include Ennis,
by the way.

My brother saved him.

He was alive when Deucalion
went in to see him.

He wants you
to go after Derek, Kali,

to force his decision.

If Derek joins the pack,
it paves the way for Scott.

The lies people will tell

when they're begging
for their life.

Ask him.

[tense music]



[groans]

[growls]

Hey, back off.

[panting]

[groans]

[gasps]

I'm not going
to let them kill you.

But if you know something,

if you know where they are...

The nemeton...

You find that,

you'll find Jennifer.

Find the nemeton.

[sighs]

I don't wanna kill
your optimism or anything,

but, you know, the both of us
have been trying

to do the exact same thing
for hours.

You been tied up before?

[exhales]
Many times.

What, is that, uh, part
of being a werewolf hunter?

I tried to download him
on as much as I could.

Yeah, I was starting to feel
a little bit left out.

You knew.

I remember meeting you once,
before you were sheriff.

You questioned me
about a body.

You knew something was up.

You just weren't ready
to believe it.

You're right.

There was a night
eight years ago...

The night my wife died.

I was at the end
of a shift,

and a call came in.

There had been a pile-up,
and a young woman...

She was a teenager,
actually.

She was trapped
under an overturned car.

We had to wait
for the paramedics.

We were never
getting her out.

But I was able
to hold her hand.

She knew she was gonna die.

But I just kept telling her,
"no, no, listen.

The paramedics are
on their way."

And then I remember,

her hand suddenly gripped mine
so tightly that I...

I literally thought
she was gonna break the bones.

And she looked me in the eye,
and she said...

"if you wanna be with her,

go, now."

And I knew she was talking
about my wife.

But then that other part
of my brain...

The part that looks for clues,
for fingerprints,

for logical connections...
that part told me

that there is no way

that this girl could possibly
know about Claudia.

And so I stayed.

I stayed until the paramedics
pulled her out.

[somber music]

Until her heart
stopped beating

and they declared her dead.

When I finally got
to the hospital...

I saw Stiles sitting
in the waiting room

with his head
in his hands because...

He was with Claudia
when she died.



But I wasn't.

I wasn't with her
because I didn't believe.

I just did not believe.

It has to be
on a Telluric current,

or maybe even at the axis of two
or where they all intersect.

I just know it's where Derek
took Paige to die.

My dad and Gerard
were there once.

But Gerard said
it was years ago,

and he couldn't remember
where it was.

And my dad obviously isn't here
to tell us now.

Yeah, mine either.

Then how do we
find this place?

There might be a way.

But it's dangerous.

We're gonna need Scott.

How'd you guys find out?

Lydia.

You?

Morrell.

None of the other alphas
know where it is either.

So if this works,
are you gonna tell them?

I can't stop Jennifer
without them.

How about we concentrate
on finding your parents first?

What's the plan?

Essentially, you, Allison,
and Stiles need to be

surrogate sacrifices
for your parents.

We die for them?

But he can bring us back.

You can...
you can bring us back, right?

You remember the part
where I said it was dangerous?

If it goes right,

the three of you will be dead
for a few seconds,

but there's something else
you need to think about.

This is a dangerous thing
for more reasons than one.

You'll be giving power
back to the nemeton,

a place that hasn't had power
for a long time.

This kind of power
is like a magnet.

It attracts the supernatural,
the kind of things

that a family like the Argents

can fill the pages
of a bestiary with.

It will draw them here,

like a beacon.

Doesn't sound

any worse than anything
we've already seen.

You'd be surprised
at what you have yet to see.

Is that it?

No.

It'll also have an effect
on the three of you.

You won't be able to see it,

but you'll feel it
every day

for the rest of your lives.

It'll be
a kind of a darkness

around your heart,

and permanent,

like a scar.

Like a tattoo.

[grunts]

What is that?

Ultrasonic emitter...

A smaller version of what
we use to corral werewolves.

Only they hear it.

Most of the time we use it
to push them away.

Let's see if it works
to attract them.

[beep]

[dramatic music]



[grunts]

It's gotta be now.

I don't have a choice.

You always have a choice.

It's whether or not you can live
with the consequences...

Facing Kali as a beta.

But it's not just
a full moon coming.

It's a lunar eclipse.

We'll all be powerless.

[splash]

All right.

What did you bring?

Um, I got my dad's badge.

Jennifer kind of crushed it
in her hand,

so I tried hammering it out a bit.

Still doesn't look great.

Well, it doesn't need
to look good if it has meaning.

Is that
an actual silver bullet?

My dad made it.
It's kind of a ceremonial thing.

When one of us finishes
learning all the skills

to be a hunter,
we forge a silver bullet

as a testament to the code.

Scott?

My dad got my mom
this watch

when she first got hired
at the hospital.

She used to say
it was the only thing

in their marriage
that ever worked.

Okay, the three of you
will get in.

Each of us
will hold you down

until you're essentially...

Well, dead.

But it's not just someone
to hold you under.

It needs to be someone
who can pull you back,

someone that has
a strong connection to you,

a kind of emotional tether.

Lydia...

You go with Stiles.

Are you sure?

I mean, Scott and I
both have to go under.

It's okay.

[soft music]



[exhales]



[all shivering]

By the way,

if I don't make it back
and you do,

you should probably
know something.

Your dad's in town.



[dramatic music]



[soft instrumentals]
