Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 20 - Echo House - full transcript

Scott: Previously on "Teen Wolf"...

It's called
frontotemporal dementia.

Areas of your brain
start to shrink.

Eight years ago, almost an entire
family died in a car accident.

A young girl named
Malia was never found.

Chris: They called him Silverfinger
because of an unusual prosthetic.

Where did you get that?
Off Katashi's dead body.

There's a fox hiding
inside a teenage boy.

And I'm going to poison it.

(raining)

(indistinct voices, echoing)



(motorcycle approaching)

Why didn't you tell me?

Because we wanted to
avoid something like this.

It's only 72 hours.

This is the same place
where Barrow came from.

The guy who had a tumor
inside him filled with flies.

You don't know everything yet.

I know enough. Nogitsunes, Kitsunes,
Oni, or whatever they're called.

Wow, that was actually
all surprisingly correct.

Scott, I saw an MRI

that looked exactly like my wife's.

And it terrifies me.

I'm headed down to L.A. Tomorrow
to talk to a specialist.

Then why are you putting him in here?
Stiles: He's not.



It was my decision.

Stiles, I can't help you
if you're in here.

And I can't hurt you.

Deaton's got some ideas.
Argent's calling people.

We're gonna find something.
And if we can't...

Stiles: If you can't...

If you can't, then you have
to do something for me, okay?

Make sure I never get out.

Come on.

(gate buzzes open)

(indistinct voices, echoing)

Nurse: Mr. Stilinski?

This way please.

Nurse: First 72 hours there's
no phone calls, no e-mails, no visitors.

We will be taking you
from here to a brief physical.

In the morning you'll be assessed
by a staff psychologist,

(door opens) speak to a social
worker and attend group therapy.

I feel like we're
forgetting something.

Nurse: You will be wearing these,
Stiles. No laces allowed.

You don't have a belt, do you?

And please empty
your pockets in here.

(muttering) Your pillow. Your pillow.
We forgot your pillow.

You're never going to be able to fall asleep.
We... We got to go back.

It's fine, dad.
I don't need it.

(stammering)
I can't believe I forgot it.

I mean, every time that
we've ever stayed in a hotel,

the first thing you pack
is your pillow.

You can bring it tomorrow.
It's all right.

(doors buzzing)

Okay, you know what?
Stop. Stop. Enough.

Stiles, get your stuff.

I'm not checking you in here

if you're not gonna get
one good night's sleep.

Dad.

I haven't had a good
night's sleep in weeks.

Stiles? This way, please.

I'm the part of the bird
that's not in the sky.

I'm the part of the bird
that's not in the sky.

I'm the part of the bird that's not in the sky.
That guy up there.

I can swim in the ocean,
yet still remain dry.

I can swim in the ocean,
yet still remain dry.

I can swim in the ocean,
yet still remain dry...

Stiles: Stop!
Somebody stop him!

(bones snapping)
Nurse: (yells) Oh!

(indistinct talking)

(snarling)

Original Airdate Feb. 24, 2014

♪

Did you have any trouble with Ikeda?
Deaton: Only minor.

The white wolf was exactly
where you said it would be.

But we have
two problems now.

First, the lichen
is not a cure.

It'll wear off
in a matter of days.

But while it does work, the Oni
won't go after Stiles, right?

I hope. Eichen House
has an unusual history.

It might not be all that safe
for the Oni there as well.

Chris: What's
the second problem?

I checked with your
contacts in Japan.

The Yakuza boss you saw killed by
the Oni never found the scroll.

What scroll?

A Shugendo scroll.

The Shugendo were
the ascetic mystics of Japan.

The scroll had information

on how to exorcise a Nogitsune.

- So we need to find that scroll?
- Exactly.

And I did get a name of the
man who last purchased it.

Kincaid.

He's the guy who met
with Isaac to buy the gun.

Sounds like Katashi wanted
the scroll for himself.

But Stilinski already
told me nothing like it

was found among his things.

And a paranoid like Katashi
would keep it close.

Probably on him
at all times.

What does a Shugendo
scroll look like?

Something like this.

Do these come
in different sizes?

Any size.

Then I think I know
where it might be.

Okay, I know there's
the whole 72-hour thing

but I'd really need
to use the phone.

The accident that occurred
is being taken care of.

You're seriously referring
to that as an accident?

Incident.

Slightly better.
Still need to use the phone.

Just five minutes.

Three minutes, please.
A three-minute call.

Would you like to
go to sleep, Stiles,

or would you like to be introduced
to our five-point restraint system?

I would go with sleep.

Hey, wait, wait, wait!

(exhales)

I'm Oliver.

Stiles.

There was a suicide, huh?

Yeah.

Is it Monday?

There's a much higher rate
of suicide on Mondays.

Okay then.

Um, hey, can someone...

Someone just please
let me out of here.

Someone. Anyone.

I heard it by the way.

It happened
in the stairwell, right?

Yeah.
How'd you know that?

I heard the echo.

What do you mean?
It's this place.

Something about the way
that it was built.

Everything echoes.

Eventually.

That's why they call it

Echo House.

Have you been
awake all night?

Yeah, I can't sleep
without my pillow.

(coughing)

You okay?

I swallowed a bug
the other day.

You ever do that?

I keep coughing. Like
it's still in my throat.

That's disgusting, Oliver.

You don't have any idea
when they unlock the doors, do you?

(door unlocking)
(footsteps)

Now.

Most of the people
here are okay.

The violent ones are
in the closed unit.

That's Hillary.
She has O.C.D.

That's Gary. He thinks
he's Jesus Christ.

Dan. Also Jesus.

That's Mary...
Mary Magdalene?

No, she also thinks
she's Jesus.

You'd be surprised how
many Jesuses we get.

Not really.

Hey, how come you want
to use the phone already?

'Cause after one night,
I've changed my mind

about this place being safe for me.

Or anyone. Ever.

Woman: No.
No, I think you're wrong.

I really think
I should tell them.

They're going to
want to know the story.

The whole story.

I really think
they should know.

Yes, I do.

One of them is standing
right behind me.

Who was that?

That's Meredith.
She's a little weird.

You're a little weird.
She's a lot weird.

It's dead.

They turn off all the phones
for 24 hours after a suicide.

Why didn't you
tell me that before?

Why didn't you ask?

What are you
going to do now?

That's not really the appropriate way
to describe a facility like this.

Malia?

Hey. It's Stiles.

Do you remember me?
I'm friends with Scott.

Remember. We were the ones
who helped you out with...

(grunts)

Man: Hey, Malia!

Malia: No!
Hey, what the hell? She hit me.

A few more like this, Malia, and
you're headed to the closed unit.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.
Stop. I didn't do anything.

Man: Back off!

Stop! (grunts)

Morrell: (voice echoing)
Enough!

Enough.

(Stiles breathing heavily)

Stiles.

You saw something,
didn't you?

That basement.

I've been down there before.

Still nothing?

Derek?
Hold on.

Deputy: Hey, where's the sheriff?

Man: Stilinski's out for the day.

So the Katashi murder is now
a federal investigation.

Everything here that wasn't blown
up needs to be placed in lockup.

You were right.

They're moving
all the evidence.

Was there anything about
the murder itself?

Just about putting Katashi's
things in a federal lockup

and something about
Stilinski being out for the day.

You know,
if all of this is true,

people are dead because of Stiles.

But is it really Stiles?

Remember, we've had
this problem before.

But we got lucky with Jackson.

What happens when
you don't get lucky?

I guess it depends on
how much or how little

of Stiles is left.

You ever heard of
the berserkers?

Germanic warriors.

They wore the skins of bears

to channel their ferocity.

They didn't just wear them.

They became them.

You know,
a couple of years ago,

a family came to us
for help with their son.

They were doing all sorts of
rituals with animal skins.

Somehow they tapped into it.

But with berserkers,

the human side
doesn't last long.

They're not tempered
by the moon.

He killed people?

He tore them apart.

Eventually, I had to
tell the family

their son was gone.

It took three of us
to take him down.

Almost every bullet we had.

And when it was over,

I felt no remorse. None.

I knew that kid
was long gone.

Would you feel any remorse
putting Stiles down?

Stiles? Yes.

But not a Nogitsune.

Morrell: I want to go back
to the topic of guilt today.

It might surprise you to hear me
say that guilt is a good thing.

It's a rather
mature emotion.

Malia, you said something
about guilt the other day.

You said it came with
a visceral reaction.

I said it made me feel
sick to my stomach.

(coughs)

Guilt often
becomes physical.

You feel it in your gut.

It's not just psychological.

How does guilt
make you feel, Stiles?

- I'm sorry, what?
- Guilt.

What does it make you feel?

Nervous.

Like a sense of urgency?

You feel an urgent need to make
up for something you've done.

To apologize.

These are healthy responses.

Does anyone know what we call someone
who doesn't experience guilt?

Sociopath.

That's right, Oliver.

I'm sorry, everyone,
but we need to take a break.

Come with me, Stiles.

I'd like to talk
to you for a minute.

It's called
a lichtenberg figure.

They appear on
lightning strike victims.

The fact that they're
appearing on you

after a shot of wolf lichen is both

significant and strange.

By significant and strange do you
mean hopeful and optimistic?

When the marks fade, the
Nogitsune's grip over you will return.

What are these?
Sleeping pills?

Amphetamines.

Sleeping is exactly
what you don't want to do.

You're vulnerable
when you're asleep.

So all I have to do
is stay awake?

If your friends haven't figured
out something by the time

those marks are gone,

I'll come find you.

To tell me what to do?

No, to give you
an injection.

Pancuronium bromide.

It causes
respiratory paralysis.

That sounds a lot like death.

It's used for lethal
injection, yes.

So when the Nogitsune
takes over,

you're going to kill me?

I'm going to do what
I've always done.

Maintain the balance.

Okay then.
I've missed our talks.

Thanks for the illicit drugs.

Stiles.

Stay awake.

What are you doing?
(gasps)

I need to get through here.

To the basement.

Doctors don't even have
a key to this door.

Only Brunski.

Is that the head orderly?

He's got keys
to everything in here.

Does he keep them on him all the time?

If you want them,

you'll probably have to
figure out a way to trick him.

Well, part of me is getting
very good at playing tricks.

My father said all of the
Katashi evidence is being moved

to a federal lockup
by armored car tonight.

Probably within
the next few hours.

We're going to rob
an armored car?

Well, we're going to try.

(running water)

Okay.

Okay, just got to
stay awake, Stiles.

You just gotta stay...

Don't worry, Stiles,

you didn't just accidentally
walk into the girls' room.

Thank god.
(clears throat)

Um...

Okay, so what are you doing
in the boys' room?

Showering.

I can see that.
I mean, I saw that.

Well, actually, I didn't see
anything really. I just...

There was too much steam
to, uh...

Not that I would prefer
there to be less steam...

Stiles, I don't care.

In the woods, there was
no boys' and girls' room.

And if you really
need to know,

they keep the water temperature
in the girls' room too low.

It's much hotter in here.

Ever since I turned
back to human,

I just can't
seem to get warm.

Maybe you just have
a low core temp.

You know, you might
just be sick or...

I used to have a fur coat.

Or, it could be...
Hey, it might be that.

It's probably that.

(music playing)

Now you're staring.

No, I'm not.

Then what are you doing?

Phew!

Uh...

I was kind of wondering
why you punched me.

Did you think I was
going to thank you?

No. Maybe.

We did kind of
save your life.

You're right, Stiles.
Thank you.

Thanks for
invading my home.

For putting me on the run.

For turning me
back to human

so that I could look
at my father every day

and try to figure out
how to explain to him

that the reason my sister
and mother are dead

is because I almost
ate them on a full moon.

Thank you so very much.

We were just trying to help.

You want to help me?

Find a way to change me back.

You want to go back?
To being a coyote?

What do you know?

I might know somebody who could
teach you how to change.

Okay. What do you want?

I need to get
into the basement.

Which means that I need
to get the keys off

of that orderly, the big one.

Brunski.
You help me,

and I'll help you.

This is a really bad plan.

It's not that bad.

It's not that good.

None of us knows the route
they're going to take.

If Allison can get one
of her dad's GPS trackers

on the armored car,
then we can follow it.

So when it gets here...
We attack them?

No.

Your bikes will be
in the middle of the road,

looking like you guys
got into an accident.

And when the driver
gets out to help...

We attack him?
Both: No.

You'll distract him

and Scott will
break open the back door.

I hope.

And you'll get
Katashi's finger.

It's not his actual
finger, is it?

You are so
out of our league.

Why aren't we just going
to Stilinski for help?

Because if he gets caught,
then it's the sheriff

tampering with
federal evidence.

Guys, this is going to work.
We can do this.

We're losing Stiles.

My dad's in jail for murder.

We need to do this.

(grunting)

You're lying,
you're a liar!

Man: What the hell's going on?

Oliver: You're lying!

Malia: Get this
nut-job off of me.

No! She said that they
drill holes in your head.

She said they're gonna
put a hole in my head!

(keys jangling)

Please, come on!
Please, don't...

Please don't drill
a hole in my head.

You okay?
Yeah.

(sighs)

They told me
my lawyer was here.

So either I'm going
to congratulate you

on recently passing the bar

or I should be worried about something.

Hello, Christoph.

(keys jangling)

(sighs) Come on.

Come on.

I thought this guy had
a key to everything.

I do.

But nobody has
the key to that room.

Into the quiet room,
little man.

Want to tell us
where you got these?

A vending machine.

(chuckles)

I always love
the sarcastic ones.

Give him five of the Haldol.

Wait. What's that?
Is that a sedative?

Okay, hang on. Hang on!
I can't go to sleep.

Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Look...

Get off me, man!

(grunting)

I can't go to sleep...

You don't understand.

(panting)

You don't get it.
I gotta stay awake.

I gotta stay...

(deep breaths)

I have to stay awake.

What are you doing here?

I want to help.

I'm not sure
it's such a good idea.

Because of my mother?

No. I know that's
not your fault.

Yeah, but it still feels like it is.

And if I can help,
shouldn't I?

People who help us

usually end up getting hurt.

Badly.

Okay, but I've been practicing.

Practicing what?

I've been picking
this up really fast.

Like crazy fast.

(unsheathing)
(gasps)

You sure about that?

Sorry. Watch.

(music playing)

Okay. You're coming.

No, no.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey. Hey, let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Nogitsune: Let me in.

What... What do you mean?

You know.

Okay, screw you
and your stupid riddles.

(bangs)

No riddle this time, Stiles.

You know what it means.

Let me out.

Just let me out.

Let me out.

Just let me out!

Let me in!

(panting)
No, no, no. Shh!

Hey, hey, hey. Shh!

Shut up.

How did you get in here?

I broke the lock.

If I concentrate
I can be pretty strong.

Get up.
(groans)

There's another way
to the basement.

Through the closed unit.

Where they keep
the real psychos.

You're up.

(door opens)

Okay, let's get out of here.

We have to do something.

Who the hell is that?

Kincaid.

You want to talk
about the code?

Ours is more than
a code of behavior.

It's a code of honor.

These things bind
our families.

You don't abandon
such things lightly.

Where in the code
does it say my wife

your wife honored us
with her dying breath.

She would have honored
her daughter by living.

Your family is very
complicated, though.

Isn't it?

What do you really
want to know?

Is this about Allison?

What are you fishing for?

I don't fish, mijo.

I hunt.

We need that finger.

Why should I give it to you?

There's a briefcase
in there with $150,000 in it.

The scroll inside this prosthetic
finger is worth three million.

Give me the finger.

You know what I mean.

(grunts)

(grunts)

I guess negotiations are over.

(growling)

Do you know what
you're looking for?

Something to do with that.

What does it mean?

Self.

Maybe you should tell me more.

You might not like me
if you know any more.

Try to remember
that I'm a werecoyote

who murdered her own family.

I won't judge.
I promise.

(chuckles)

(both grunting)

(grunts)

(growls)

(gasps)

You have the eyes of an alpha.

But where's the strength?

Up here.

(growling)

(men grunting)

This place definitely
used to be a lot more fun.

Electroshock, ice baths.
Trepanation?

That's what Oliver
was talking about.

Trepanation is when they
drill into your head.

No wonder they don't
want anyone down here.

(sighs) There's
nothing here.

Could you do me a favor?

Could you just check
the lines on my back?

Just tell me
if they're fading.

Yeah, they're almost gone.

I'm guessing that's bad.

Hmm.

Oh. Sorry. I told you
I'm always cold.

That's okay.

Here.

Boy, you really are.
(both chuckle)

(music playing)

Was that your first kiss?

Was it okay?

You want to try it again?

I want to try
something else.

Something else?
Yeah.

Ah!

Ethan, Aiden...

Stop!

You want him
to come after us?

Scott, we've seen guys like this.
Trust us. He's dangerous.

So are we.

And he looks smart
enough to remember that.

We're here to save a life.
Not end one.

(both chuckle)

(sighs)

Stiles.

(knocking)

Do you hear that?

(knocking echoes)

(grunting)

(panting)
(drops rod)

This is him.

The Nogitsune?

Recognize them?

One of them.

I have to get
this to Scott.

(crackling)

You took Brunski's keys.

I took his stun gun.

(crackling)

I also got his Haldol.

(Stiles panting)

Like I was saying, Stiles,

I heard they used
to do trepanation here.

(weakly) Oliver...

What are you doing?

(panting)

I'm going to let
the evil spirits out.

(whirring)

I borrowed a few pointers
from the five-point restraint.

(grunts)

Oliver, stop this.

(coughing)

Oliver, listen to me.
Stop! Oliver!

Oliver!
Stop!

Nogitsune: Start with her.

You did this.

You got into his head.

Every Dracula
needs a Renfield.

Just let her go.

Let me in.

(grunts)

Stiles.

Do you want her
to leave here alive?

Do you want us to leave?

We can walk out of this place.

Just let her go please.
(sobbing)

(grunts)

Let me in.

(screams)

Nogitsune: Let me in, Stiles!
Let me in!

(grunts)

Just let her go please!

(whirring)

Nogitsune: Let me in, Stiles!
Let me in!

Let me in
and I'll let her live.

Let me in!

Oliver.

(restraints breaking)

(sighs)

Stiles?

There isn't much here,
unfortunately.

Does it say anything?

My Japanese isn't great.

But it appears to say that

one method of
expelling a Nogitsune

is to change
the body of the host.

Change the body?

Which begs the question,

how do we change Stiles's body?

By turning him
into a werewolf.

Do you know where
you're going?

No, but I know who
I'm looking for.

Scott McCall.

You know him?

I can tell you
where to find him.
