Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 18 - Riddled - full transcript

Narrator: Previously
on "Teen Wolf"...

When a Kitsune rubs
its tails together

it can create fire or lightning.

It's called foxfire.

All day I have been hearing
this sound. (whispering)

You've been right every time
something like this has happened.

So don't start
doubting yourself now.

Are you all right?

I guess not really.

They're called the Oni.
They're looking for someone

pocessed by a dark spirit
attached to them.



(phone vibrating)

Hey, man, what's up?

Stiles?
(Stiles breathing nervously)

Stiles? You there?

Stiles: (whispering) Scott?

Hey, I'm here.

Are you ok?
Can you hear me?

Scott, I don't... I don't know where I am.
I don't know how I got here.

I think was sleepwalking.

Okay, um, can
you see anything?

Just tell me what you see.

Ah, it's dark.
It's hard to see.

I think there's
something wrong with my...

(disconnects)



Hey. This is Stiles and you
missed me. Leave a message...

(exhales deeply)
Come on.

Stiles: (voice mail) Hey, this is St...
(breathing heavily)

God, come on.

Come on.

Stiles?

Stiles: Scott, I don't think
I can get out of here.

- I can't move.
- Where are you?

I don't know. I don't know,
it's too dark. I can't see much

but something's
wrong with my leg.

It's stuck on something.
And it's...

- I think it's bleeding.
- How bad? Stiles, how bad is it?

Stiles, are you there?
Can you hear me?

Ah, there's some kind
of smell down here.

Something smells terrible.

It's brutal.
My eyes are watering.

- Okay, listen. I'm calling your dad.
- No, no, no, no, don't.

- But your dad...
- Don't.

Just please don't call him.
Promise you won't.

He already worries about me too much.
Scott, please.

But what if I can't find you?

Stiles, I can't make
a promise like that.

No, no, no, just please.

(sniffling) Please, don't call him.

Come find me.
You can do it.

He doesn't have to know.
Scott, you can find me.

I don't know if I can do this.

(sniffling) Oh, I gotta call you back.
I have to turn the phone off.

What? No, hey, wait, wha...

- I'm gonna call you back.
- Hold on, Stiles wait...

Hold on, man.
(panting)

(yelling) Isaac!
Isaac, get up!

I need your help!

- Isaac!
- Why? What's wrong?

It's Stiles.
Get dressed.

What's wrong with Stiles?

I don't know.

(jazzy music playing)

I said hold still.

Are we even allowed
to be here this late?

What if security catches us?
There is no security.

The number of homicides in this
school has seen to it that

no sane person will ever
take a night job here again.

So we're all alone?

You're losing the pose again.

You know, when you said you
wanted me to model for you,

this wasn't what I
thought you had in mind.

Oh, really?

If you're thinking
nude modeling,

it's usually done
without the pants.

(pant unzipping)

(music continues playing)

(sound of voices
speaking indistinctly)

You hear that?
Hear what?

You don't hear that? I hear music.
What do you hear?

Voices.

(static blaring)

Stiles: Scott.

Stiles: Please, come find me.

(phone vibrates)

Hey, Stiles.

Stiles: Did you call him?
Did you call my dad?

No. Just Isaac. We're
coming to find you.

Can you figure out
where you are?

Try to find something and
tell us where to look.

I think... I think I'm
in some kind of basement.

In a house? No. It looks bigger.
Like industrial.

I think there's a
furnace. But it's cold.

It's freezing down here.

I gotta turn the... I gotta turn the phone off.
It's going to die.

Wait, wait, wait.

What else is there.
What do you see?

The phone's dying.
I can't talk.

(whispering)
I have to go.

Please...

Stiles, why are
you whispering?

(whispering) Because I think
there's someone in here with me.

(upbeat music playing)

Mom, my lamp's dead.

Do we have any more bulbs?

Mom!

(electricity crackling)

(glass shattering)

What did you do?

Uh, nothing.
It was an accident.

Noshiko: It's after midnight.
You should be asleep.

(electricity crackling)

Go to sleep.

How did you know?
Did he call you too?

I heard it.
Aiden: Don't ask.

It gets more confusing
when you ask.

(whispers) Okay. Not
as confusing as this.

He uses red
for unsolved cases.

Maybe he thinks he's part
of an unsolved case?

Or is an unsolved case.

Hold on.

Is he still out there?

You don't know where he is?

He said he was in an
industrial basement somewhere.

We came here to
get a better scent.

Something's wrong with
his leg. It's bleeding.

And he's freezing.

Aiden: Tonight's the
coldest night of the year.

It's going to drop
into the 20s.

What did his dad say?

We kind of...
We didn't tell him yet.

Stiles is bleeding and freezing
and you didn't call his dad?

He made me promise not to.

We can find him by scent.

If he was sleepwalking he
couldn't have gotten far, right?

You didn't notice his
jeep is gone, did you?

You promised you wouldn't
call his dad. I didn't.

Wait, Lydia, hold on.
I can get more help.

I can call
Derek, Allison...

Everyone except for the cops.
Great idea.

You guys remember
she gets these feelings

when someone's
about to die, right?

You don't have
to call his dad.

It's five minutes
to the station.

We'll catch up.

What? Why?

There's something here.

Yeah.

Evidence of total insanity.

We can figure out what's wrong
with him after we find a way

to keep him from freezing to death.
Lydia: Go.

We'll be right behind you.

(panting)

(screaming)

(sobbing)

(scraping)

(sniffling)

Who's there?

I know you're there.
I can hear you.

(sniffling)

(scraping continues)

(sniffling)

(panting)

Who are you?

(exhales deeply)

(panting)

Self.

(panting continuously)

(wind blowing)

(Stilinski breathing heavily)

Come on.

If his jeep is gone,
that's where we start.

Parrish,

Let's get an APB out on
a blue 1980 CJ-5 jeep.

Cordova, I want a list of any
kind of industrial basement

or sub-level of any building

that he could've gotten
into while sleepwalking.

It's the coldest night
of the year so far.

So if he's out
their barefoot

in just a t-shirt, he could
already be hypothermic.

Let's move fast. Let's think fast.
The two of you, come with me.

Okay. Is there anything
you need to tell me

that I can't tell
anyone out there?

Lydia knew he was missing.
Can she help find him?

Well, she's working on it.

Anything else?
Scott: I called Derek and Allison for help.

Can you find him by scent?

(knock on door)

We got it, sir.
We found the jeep.

(sirens wailing)

It's dead.

He must have left
the lights on.

Why would he come here?

Let's find out.

Security's doing sweeps of
every floor. Nothing yet.

What about the basement?
Follow me.

He's not here.
Not anymore.

You mean the
whole building?

Gone.

I'll go tell Stilinski.

And see if you
can find Allison.

She's not answering
her phone.

Notice how strong
the scent is up here?

Ever hear of chemo signals?

Chemical signals that
communicate emotion.

And just our sweat can give
off anger, fear or disgust.

Take a deep breath

and tell me what you feel.

Stress.
And anxiety.

What was he doing up here?
I don't know.

But there was definitely
some kind of struggle.

With who?

Himself.

Where is everyone?

We get a lead on our
sword-wielding maniac?

Nope. But we've got posters up
all over town for your guy.

Not exactly how I described
him to the sketch artist.

Well, you're not exactly the highest
priority of the tonight, agent McCall.

What does that mean?
What's the high priority?

Didn't you draw this?

Put that back.

It's yours right?

It's one of them.
I guess.

He likes you a lot,
doesn't he?

Maybe he likes
the drawing a lot.

"For Lydia."

Okay.
(phone beeps)

"Nothing at hospital Derek
headed to high school."

"Isaac going
to find Allison."

And Scott's with
the sheriff.

And we're standing in a
bedroom staring at the walls.

(pinging sound)
(voices whispering)

What did you just do?

Did you touch one
of the strings?

Maybe.

(pinging sound)

(voices whispering)

What did that
sound like to you?

Like a string being pulled.

You didn't hear
people whispering?

I definitely did not
hear people whispering.

(voices whispering loudly)

You didn't hear that?

Lydia, I'm not sure anybody
hears what you hear.

They're whispering.

Something about a house.

What house?

(voices whispering loudly)

That one.

What's Eichen House?

A mental health center.

It's where William Barrow, the
shrapnel bomber, was committed.

Is that it?

That's where he is.

That's where Stiles is.

No, come on.

(sniffling)

(panting)

(screaming)

(breathing heavily)

Who's there?

Who are you?

(speaking Japanese)

(speaking Japanese)

What?

(speaking Japanese)

(speaking Japanese)

I don't...
I don't understand.

Not who are you, Stiles.

Who are we?
(groans)

It's getting
colder, Stiles.

Did you notice

that we've
stopped shivering?

Do you know why
that's a bad sign?

It's the body trying
to conserve energy.

It was my fifth
grade science report.

Hypothermia.

Our speech is
starting to thicken.

Then comes fatigue.

Confusion.

We're going to die if
we don't get out of here.

Stop saying that.
Stop saying we.

We're just trying to keep
you from freezing to death.

You better get up, Stiles.

How? There's a freaking
steel-jawed trap on my leg!

Is there?

(sobbing)

Notice something different?

It was on your right
leg before, wasn't it?

No...

Are you sure?

What is this?

What are you doing?

We're trying to
save you, Stiles.

We're trying to
save your life.

Stilinski: Lydia,

I don't want to say "are you
sure about this" but...

No, he's here. I swear
to god he's here.

I need access to all basement
rooms in this facility.

Hey, is this the exact transcript
of Scott and Stiles's phone call?

It's what he gave us.

But these words.
Stiles says,

"something smells terrible.
My eyes are watering."

Melissa: Hi, I'm Melissa McCall. I
was hoping to see agent McCall.

What are you doing here?

My shift was over. I just
wanted to see if I could help.

It's here.

It's right here.

Lydia: Stiles?

Lydia?

I don't get it.

This has to be it.

Then where is he, huh?

Where's is he?
Where's is he?

I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

(engine revving) Melissa:
So what are you saying?

I'm saying the real
question might be,

How do we know he's
not still asleep?

You mean he's been
asleep the whole time?

Well, people who sleepwalk
can do crazy things.

One guy goes down to the kitchen
and cooks an entire meal.

Another guy is found
mowing his lawn naked.

Why's any of that matter?

Remember that townhouse
apartment we lived in?

There was that one night
I came home drunk...

Oh, one night?

Let me finish.

So I'm drunk, passed
out on the bed.

I get up to go
to the bathroom.

Then all of a sudden I hear you yelling
"what the hell are you doing?"

Because you were in the closet
peeing into the laundry basket.

Yeah, I thought it
was the bathroom.

Oh, no, you were
drunk off your ass.

Yeah, but I was convinced
it was the bathroom.

Yeah.

So how do we know isn't just convinced
he's in some kind of basement?

And isn't actually there.

I think when he called
Scott, he was still asleep.

And is still asleep right now.
Then where is he?

I got an idea
about that too.

You don't
understand, do you?

It's a riddle.

Do you know any
riddles, Stiles?

A few.

What gets bigger
the more you take away?

A hole.

What gets wetter the more it dries?
A towel. (sniffling)

When is a door not a door?

When it's ajar.

Everyone has it,

But no one can lose it.

What is it?

I don't...

(exhales deeply)

(shivering)

Everyone has it,

But no one can lose it.

What is it, Stiles?

I don't...

I don't know.

Everyone has it,

But no one can lose it.

(speaking Japanese)

(groaning)

I don't know.

(speaking Japanese)

(groaning)
(panting)

(grunting)
No! No!

No! No! (groans)

No, wait!

(screaming)

Wait!

(screaming) Wait!

(yelling)
Stiles.

(screaming) Wait! No, wait!
Stiles!

Wait! Stiles, you're all right!
Okay!

You're all right.

Stiles, you're all right.

(breathing heavily)

(banging on door)

What the hell have you been doing?
Sleeping.

What the hell
are you doing?

You didn't get any
calls or texts?

My phone's off.

I never turn my phone off.

(phone pings and chimes)

Sleepwalking?
Is he okay?

Yeah, they found him
a few minutes ago.

They're bringing
him to the hospital.

I don't know what happened.
I never turn it off.

(static blaring)

Who's that?

(man speaking Japanese)

(engine starting)

So, you think he was just sleepwalking?
Or is there something more to it?

In this town there's
always something more.

What if I told you
I know something more?

I kind of overheard...

Well, I listened in on
Stiles talking to Scott.

How he thinks
he was the one

who wrote that message
in the chemistry room.

The message telling
Barrow to kill Kira.

You think Stiles, skinny,
defenseless, Stiles

is the Nogitsune?

A powerful, dark spirit?

I'm not the only one thinking it.
I'm just the only one saying it.

This thing wants to possess
someone and chooses Stiles?

Why wouldn't it take
someone bigger, stronger?

Someone with
a little more...

Power.

(sighs) He's sleeping now.

And he's just fine.

He doesn't remember much.

It's a bit like
a dream to him.

Thank you.

It was that repellent we sprayed in the
coyote den to keep other animals out.

I couldn't go near it
without my eyes watering.

It's just a good thing he
mentioned it over the phone.

No, it was more
than that. Thank you.

It was a lucky connection.

McCall, can you shut up please and
accept my sincerest gratitude.

Accepted.

All right, you two.
You've got school in less than six hours.

- Go home. Go to sleep.
- Okay.

(indistinct chattering)

I don't know what happened.

I was so sure.

Yeah, I wasn't
much help either.

Doesn't matter,
if he's okay.

(metal clanking fast)

Lydia, do you hear something?

No.
(clanking stops)

I didn't hear anything.

(locker closes)

(phone chimes)

(soft music playing)

Scott. Hey...

Derek: He's a little preoccupied.

But I can help you.
Why would you want to help me?

Because I want you to tell me
everything that happened at

the power station
with William Barrow.

Actually, I want
you to show me.

It was the other day.

I asked him some questions.
Just symptoms and, um...

Man: (over pa) Blue team
to ICU please. Blue team, ICU.

Yeah.

It's okay.

I think I, uh...

I think I know what
you're talking about.

I've been writing these down
for the past two weeks.

I think we need
to do some tests.

It was around
here, I think.

But everything kind
of looks the same now.

Kira: What is that?
Is that a baseball bat?

It's Stiles's bat.

It's magnetized.

Kira,

I'm going to need you to tell me
everything you know about foxfire.

(man speaking Japanese)

(beeping)

You're right.
It's Japanese.

Who left this on your phone?
I don't know.

All of the messages are the same
and they all say blocked id.

Can you translate it?
Mostly.

The man speaking is giving
instructions actually.

The first line is,

"all evacuees are
required to stay"

"at least 10 feet back
from outside fences."

What does that mean?
What fences?

The fences surrounding a Japanese
internment camp during World War II.

After Pearl Harbor,

Japanese-Americans were
rounded up and put in camps.

This man is reading instructions
to prisoners upon their arrival.

(speaking stops)

Well, where does something
like this come from?

I have no idea.

Because it's fake.

It mentions the name of the
internment camp as "Oak Creek."

There was no internment camp
named Oak Creek in California.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm just a little hyper-sensitive
to loud sounds today.

(locker closing)

They're doing tests
on Stiles all afternoon.

I was going to go over
at around 6:00 to visit.

You want to come with me?

I should probably
just go home.

(locker closes)

You sure you're okay?

Yeah.

I'll text you later.

(thuds)

I'm not sure I know how
to pronounce this.

Or if it's not
actually a misspelling.

Just call him Stiles.

Okay.

Stiles, just to warn you,

You're going to hear a lot
of noise during the MRI.

It's due to pulses
of electricity

going through metal coils
inside the machine.

Uh, if you want we can get
you earplugs or headphones.

Oh, no, no,
I don't need anything.

Hey, we're just on the
other side of that window.

Okay?
Okay.

You know what they're
looking for, right?

It's called
frontotemporal dementia.

Areas of your brain
start to shrink.

It's the only form of dementia
that can hit teenagers.

And there's no cure.

Stiles, if you have it,
we'll do something.

I'll do something.

I don't know if
I should go in.

You're going to tell Scott

that Barrow might have
used foxfire created by me

to jump start the Nogitsune's
power inside Stiles.

Yeah.

Basically that I
helped a dark spirit

take control of his best friend.

You should probably
wait here.

Doctor: Okay, Stiles. This will
take about 45 minutes to an hour.

Now remember,
try not to move.

Even just a little bit.

Stiles, you're going
to hear that noise now.

It's going to be
a loud clanging.

Kind of like a hammer
hitting an anvil.

(metal clanking)

(metal clanking continuously)

(upbeat music playing)

(metal clanking continues)

You know the stuff you we're telling
me about chemo signals earlier?

It reminded me of the time
you we're teaching me

to use anger to control the shift.

I think you ended up
teaching me more about that.

Are you teaching me again?

Think of it more like sharing
a few trade secrets.

You know, I took Cora
back to South America, right?

It's where she spent most
of her time after the fire.

But that's not
the only reason I left.

I needed to talk
to my mother.

Your dead mother?

She told me something that
changed my perspective

on a lot of things.

She said that my family didn't
just live in Beacon Hills.

They protected it.

This town needs
someone to protect it.

Someone like you.

And someone like you to teach
me a few trade secrets.

What?

He was trying
to protect us.

Stiles was protecting us.

From himself.

What are we looking for?
I'm not sure.

But I think Stiles wasn't just
up here struggling with himself.

I think he was struggling
not to do something.

(metal clanking)

(inaudible)

Doctor: See this?

The tissue here and there.

Both those spots are
showing signs of atrophy.

Atrophy.
Doctor: I'm sorry.

(melancholy music playing)

(panting)

(metallic clanking)

Nogitsune: Have you
figured out my riddle yet?

If you answer correctly,

we might consider
letting them go.

Letting who go?

Your friends.

Your family.

Everyone who ever
meant something to you.

We're going to destroy
all of them, Stiles.

One-by-one.

Why?

Everyone has it,

but no one can lose it.

What is it?

I don't know.
Everyone has it,

but no one can lose it.

What is it?
I don't know.

Everyone has it,

but no one can lose it.

What is it?

What is it?

I don't know.

(whispering)
What is it, Stiles?

A shadow.

(electricity crackling)

What was that?

It sounded like
a power surge.

Where's my son?

(people clamoring)

You know me.

Then you remember
that I won't be deterred

by your choice of host.

Even if it's
an innocent boy.

Are you threatening us?

Now I'm threatening you.

We're not really afraid
of your little fireflies.

Noshiko: If the Oni
can't defeat you,

I know someone who will.

(electricity crackling)

Oh, my god.
