Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 19 - Letharia Vulpina - full transcript

Previously on "Teen Wolf"...

Deaton: Are you aware of what
your abilities can do for others?

That's all that was left of her.

Talia.

I have to ask her something.

You can do this.

Derek: Skinny, defenseless
Stiles is a Nogitsune.

Oh, my god!

Why's it taking so long?

The doctor is on his way.
He comes highly recommended.

Did I ask for a
professional reference?



I asked why it
was taking so long.

That is a question of time.

Not quality of service.

Do you think I would pay for
an idiot to look at him?

No, Ikeda-sama. Can any
of you idiots tell me why

he hasn't moved
in 12 hours?

No? Then where the hell
is the doctor?

(bell dings)

(speaking Japanese)

Apologize if you
can't do anything.

Have you worked
with wolves before?

And what's our
patient's name?

Yuki.
Hello, Yuki.

Now what have you gotten
yourself into, my friend?



Has Yuki been around
any unusual plants?

Something that
looks like moss?

It would be bright green,
almost neon.

It's called lichen
and it's highly toxic.

I need to know if
Yuki has consumed any.

If he has the poison,
just treat him.

I'm sorry, but not without
knowing the species.

I need a sample.

It's in the garden.

Shigeki, take him.

(speaking Japanese)

Superstitious idiots.

Is this what
you're looking for?

Hold this, please.

You really think Yuki got
in here and ate this stuff?

Deaton: Actually,

I think Yuki probably doesn't
come anywhere near here.

I doubt if you could
even drag him in.

Some part of him probably
senses what happened here.

To your father and the
Nogitsune possessing him.

This particular lichen
is called letharia vulpina.

Wolf lichen.

They used it to poison
wolves and foxes.

They'd put out pieces
of meat with crushed glass

and bits of the lichen in it.

The glass perforated
the intestines of the animal

so the vulpinic acid could reach
the internal organs faster.

What did you do to my wolf?

Well, I didn't
poison him with lichen.

But I did give him
a powerful paralytic agent.

The same one
I put on that jar.

(speaking other language)

I guess we both know
a few things, Ikeda-san.

(groans)

Born out of the blood
of a Nogitsune,

This lichen is quite special.

More powerful than you know.

What... What are you
going to use it for?

There's a fox hiding
inside a teenage boy.

And I'm going to poison it.

(music playing)

(tires squealing)

Oh god.
(crackling)

Get back!
Everyone, get back!

Everyone, get back!

Allison!

Isaac!

(gasps)

(car horn honks)

(electricity crackling)

(indistinct dialogue)

Isaac?

He's not breathing.
Scott, he's not breathing!

Derek: (echoing) He's not breathing.
Scott, he's not breathing!

I saw what you did. Now's not the
time for anybody else to see.

Two people said they saw Stiles's
jeep leave the hospital.

Someone needs
to find him. Now.

Is it me or was this cut?

Tell the others to keep an eye
out for signs of sabotage.

Derek:
You have to tell Stilinski.

You have to tell him what's
really wrong with Stiles.

(music playing)

Any news?

They're still
looking for him.

It's past the 48-hour mark,
but I guess if anyone's

going to be missing for two days
and turn up just fine, it's Stiles.

What about Isaac?

Maybe we should go by the
hospital before school.

Deputy Parrish: Sheriff?
- Yeah.

He just needs
your signature.

It's just printer
cartridges and stuff.

Batteries for
the next black-out.

Not a bad idea, considering the number
of electrical problems in this town.

(knocking at door)

I know you're a bit
preoccupied at the moment.

What is it?

This might sound strange, but have
you had any issues with Yakuza?

Japanese mafia? Specifically,
a guy named Katashi.

(indistinct
P.A. Announcements)

Have you been here
all night?

Yeah, they won't let me see
him because I'm not family.

I told them
he doesn't have any.

He's got us.

And I've got a key card.

Be quick.

(machine beeping steadily)

I thought he'd be
healing by now.

So did I.

Is he in pain?

(Scott inhales sharply)

(gasping)

It won't heal him,
but it helps with the pain.

Did Stiles really do this?

Whatever's
controlling him did it.

Whatever's inside him.

Well, then how do we get whatever's
inside of him the hell out of him?

I'm working on it.

(sighs) The thing is, in all of the
stories, Kitsune are tricksters.

They're mischievous. They don't really
get caught up in right or wrong

or even understand it.

What's that mean? It's just
doing this for the hell of it?

No, there was
something else I found.

If you somehow offend a Nogitsune,
it can react pretty badly.

How do you offend
a Nogitsune?

I don't know. But if it's
doing something this bad,

Then someone really,
really offended it.

(blows)

Listen up!

Anybody catches the slightest
glimpse of Stilinski,

You contact the first
available teacher. Got it?

Got it!
All: Yes, coach.

There's a card on my desk
for Isaac Lahey,

And every one of you losers
is not only going to sign it,

You're going to write a personal
message so profound and deep,

It's gonna bring a tear to coach's eye.
Who's first?

Ah, Danny! That's how
you do it, buddy.

Keep it PG.

No Stiles,
no demonic ninjas.

Things are getting too quiet.
Yeah, I know.

Yeah, it's making
me nervous, too.

(metallic pulsing)

Ethan: Do you guys
hear that?

It's an emitter.
One of Argent's.

It's coming
from the basement.

Okay, I know what you guys
are thinking, but it's me.

I swear to god, it's me.

(growling)

Wait, stop.

I said, stop!

(growls)
(snarls)

It's me, Scott.
I swear it's me.

I don't know where I've
been the last two days

or what I've been doing,
but this is me. I promise.

You know what happened
at the hospital?

I know more than that.

You see this?

It's a blueprint of the
hospital's electrical wiring.

You see all these markings in red?
That's my handwriting.

I know I did this.
I caused the accident.

And everything in this bag, it's all stuff
that could be part of something bigger.

What the hell have
you been up to?

I think something worse.

A lot worse.

(indistinct)

Why were you
talking to him?

Because he started talking to me.
He's from the health department.

Oh, really?
That's what he said?

Yes, really. They're scheduling
hearing tests with the students.

Hearing tests? He was
talking about hearing?

Yes, (enunciating) Hearing. I'm
guessing we should sign you up.

He gave me his card.

Mom, this is a piece of paper

with a phone number written on it.

I know. Still got it.

Aiden: What the hell were you doing?
Building a terminator?

Stiles: Thank you for that.

Guys, this is a map.

Isn't that the
cross country trail?

That's the Tate car. Where
Malia Tate's family died.

You mean that's where her father
put the steel-jawed traps.

(whistles sharply)

(music playing)

(elevator bell dings)

Derek: Lose something?

(grunting)

(panting)

Why are you
breaking into my apartment?

Why are you leaving
emitters in my loft?

I have no idea why
that would be in your loft.

I spent the entirety of the last
two days trying to find Stiles.

Any luck?
No.

Me either.

Okay, we're both
trying to find Stiles.

Mind if I ask what you planned
on doing if you find him?

Well, that depends on
which Stiles I find.

(tires squealing)

Stiles: Coach!

Stilinski... Whoa.
Coach, listen close.

Broken.

This isn't mine. Careful.

150,000. But it doesn't make sense.
We never took the money.

Whose money is it?

It belongs to a Yakuza
named Katashi.

He has a nickname.

Rafael: You mean
something like...

Silverfinger?

Where did you get that?

Off Katashi's dead body.

(grunting)

What the hell are you doing?

Uh, I missed you.

(screams)

Oh, my god. Did you see
how fast I was running?

I felt it. But we need
to stop the others.

Why?
Stiles: Scott!

Stop, stop, stop!
Everyone, stop!

(Finstock clapping)

Congratulations, stilinski.

You found a length of chain.

Can somebody now please tell
me what the hell's going on?

Hey, coach!

Oh, crap.

(music playing)

While it's smart to
bring me with you,

I still think the rest
of this is totally insane.

I tried to find Stiles and I led
everyone into a mental institution.

I call that a colossal failure.
Ahem.

Look, I just need
to figure this out

and he's the only one
offering help.

Peter doesn't offer help.

He offers a chance for you to be
manipulated into giving him what he wants.

Fine. Let's see
what he wants.

The hunter and the banshee.

Ladies, come in.

(screaming)

Get it out of me! Get it out of me.
Get it out of me.

Oh, my god,
I'm going to die.

Get it out of me!
I'm going to die!

Coach, you're not
going to die.

I'm going to die!

It will hurt less
if you stop moving, coach.

Finstock:
Get that thing out of me!

Stay still, coach.
An ambulance is coming.

Finstock: Get it out!
I'm gonna die!

Get back! Get back! Give him some room!
Get back!

(Scott gasping)

I think he just passed out.

I could have killed him.

I could have killed him, right? What
if it was his head or his throat?

But it wasn't.

And he's going
to be all right.

I think I just heard
an ambulance coming.

(siren wailing)
And my dad.

So, I don't suppose
you have any idea

why Stiles would
frame us for murder?

I didn't think Stiles was smart
enough to frame us for murder.

To be honest, I'm not entirely
convinced that's why we're here.

What do you mean?

McCall is going to come out here any
minute and probably talk attorneys.

Say you've agreed to allow
mine to represent you.

Why should I trust
your attorney?

Because I'm not calling
my attorney yet.

I just want more time.

To do what?

To figure out what
we're really doing here.

She goes.

The last time I
was alone with you...

I almost bled out
on a lacrosse field.

She stays.

Do you actually think I was trying
to kill you when I bit you?

You were my backup plan,
remember?

Not to mention, the bite is what
brought out your nascent abilities.

You think power like that was
going to come out on its own?

(clicks tongue)

I'm the spark that
lit your fire, sweetheart.

You attacked her
and nearly killed her.

Power doesn't come without
a little pain and struggle.

I didn't ask for it.

But you're embracing
it now, aren't you?

How about the fact that you
brainwashed her and used her

to bring yourself back to life?

So that I could be here today to
help you master your abilities.

Isn't it amazing how
things come full circle?

He's insane.
We're leaving.

You want the truth, Lydia?

It's not the scream
that gives you power.

All the scream does
is help drown out the noise,

Allowing you to hear
what you really need to.

(echoing) I can help you
focus your hearing.

But you want
something in return.

No, I'm dedicating my life to helping
out narcissistic teenage girls.

Of course I want
something in return.

(clattering)

Ethan: Scott,
you better look at this.

This is the same wrapping paper we
used for coach's birthday present.

Wasn't that
William Barrow's thing?

A bomb made from nails and bolts
all wrapped in a birthday present?

Where did it go off?

On a school bus.

Out of the way!
Out of the way!

Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!

Move! Everyone back!

Get away from the bus!

Get back now!

(students clamoring)

Come on, guys, let's go!
Go, go, go!

Come on, move, guys.

They told me not to move.

Jared, right?

They told me not to move.

They said, "stay right where you
are and don't move a muscle."

It's all right.

I didn't know what it was
when I picked it up.

I didn't know.

It's all right, Jared.

I'm just going to
take a look, all right?

These are the claws
of Derek's mother?

My sister, Talia. Before she died,
she stole a memory from me.

It's something only
a very powerful alpha can do.

That memory is locked
inside those claws.

Why would your sister want
to steal a memory from you?

Well, if I remembered
the memory,

I might be
able to tell you.

(sighs)

So what am I
supposed to do?

Get him out of here!
Back those kids up! Move!

We wait for the bomb squad.

I'm a certified HDT.
Two years in the Army.

I can at least find out
if this thing's real.

(people murmuring)

Peter: Focus.
- I am focusing!

You're not! I can see the wheels
spinning behind your eyes.

Your hearing is attuned to a level of
the universe no one else can hear.

But only if you're listening.

I'm trying.

Try harder!
(crackling)

Your aunt had one of those.

Aunty Kate.
Lydia: Stop it.

Didn't do her much good as I
ripped her throat out, did it?

She didn't shove it up your...
Stop it!

(indistinct voices)

Peter: Lydia?

Lydia, did you
hear something?

What is it?

What are they saying?

Is it the memory?

What did Talia
take from me?

Tell me what she knew!

You're not just an uncle.

I could easily get out
of these, you know.

So could I. But I'm not interested
in being a fugitive from the law.

Well, I'm not interested
in being a victim

to a 17-year-old possessed
by a psychotic fox.

Just give me a few
more minutes.

Derek!

(sighs) Okay, fine.

If something happens,
don't expect me

to risk my life trying to save yours.

Noshiko: Close the door.

You hid them in a book?

Couldn't you find
something more secure?

How many high school students do you
know who would willingly open a book?

You still haven't talked
to Kira, have you?

Noshiko: Barely a word
since the hospital.

You need to tell her.

Especially about this.

You've already
sacrificed five.

Three of the Oni are gone.

How many more tails
are you willing to sacrifice?

If I have to?

All of them.

(gasps)

These Oni will be stronger.

Much stronger.

Jared, it will be very helpful
if you could resist throwing up

on the potential explosive device.

Hey, can you do that for me?

I think so.

You... You look really...
Handsome?

Thank you.

For a second there,
I thought

you were going to say
I look really young

and I was gonna have to
launch into my explanation

about how I'm actually 24

and that anyone can look young

if they eat right
and exercise.

Although it's probably just
good genes anyway, right?

(gasps)

Huh.

It's not a bomb, sir, but there
is something in the box.

It's just printer
cartridges and stuff.

Not a bad idea, considering the number
of electrical problems in this town.

My god.

There is a bomb, but not here.

(chaotic hubbub)

What's happening?

(distorted noises)
(distorted) What's happening?

Get down!

(thunder rumbling)

(dramatic music playing)

(buzzing)

Man: Get me an ambulance here,
at the sheriff's station.

We've got an explosion. We
got multiple officers down.

Multiple officers down.

We need an ambulance A.S.A.P.
On the double.

Stiles: Scott?

Scott?

Chris: Derek. Derek.

(breathing heavily) I'm okay.

You saved my life.

Stiles: Can you do something?

Take his pain?
Anything to make it easier?

(grunting)

(gasping)

(whispering indistinctly)

(whispering) Go, go, go.

The Oni.
They're coming.

Stiles, we gotta
get you out of here.

I said I don't know.
I don't know its name,

If it's a boy or a girl or if
it's some mutated wolf baby.

You're lying.

Tell me what you know.

Tell me. Tell...
(electricity crackling)

(grunting)

Now we're leaving.

Lydia!

It's an animal clinic?

Yeah, the place is lined with mountain ash.
Just like my house.

It will buy us some time.

But they can get through it?

Eventually.

Nobody's got any
better ideas?

Okay, sure.
Animal clinic.

I got mine.
Did you find yours?

Yeah.

Peter and Malia?

Father and daughter.

(dramatic music playing)

(snarling)

Stiles, get inside.

(growling)

Hey, Kira, get inside!
Kira!

(inaudible)

All right, come on. Get him inside!
Get him inside!

(Scott gasping)

(grunting)

(groans)

You okay?

Please don't. Stop.

It's okay.

(groaning)

Does it hurt?
Hey, look at me.

You should have done
your reading, Scott.

See, a Nogitsune feeds

off chaos, strife and pain.

This morning, you took
it from Isaac,

then you took it from coach.

And then from a dying deputy.

All that pain.
You took it all.

Now, give it to me.

(choking)

(panting)

You really have
to learn, Scott.

You really have to learn
not to trust a fox.

Mmm-mmm.

Know why? 'Cause
they're tricksters.

They'll fool you.

They'll fool everyone.

Not everyone.

(grunting)

(breathing hard)

(stammering)

(groaning)

What was that?

Was that a cure?
Is he okay?

The fox is poisoned.
But it's not dead.

Not yet.
