Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 21 - The Fox and the Wolf - full transcript

While Allison, Derek, Chris and Sheriff Stilinski try to track down Nogitsune, Kira's mother tells the story of the Nogitsune she came to know.

Narrator: Previously
on "Teen Wolf"...

Why you putting him in here?

Stilinski: I saw an MRI that
looked exactly like my wife's.

And it terrifies me.

This is him.
The Nogitsune?

- Recognize them?
- One of them.

Scott: The Nogitsune feeds,
off chaos, strife, and pain.

You know me.

Noshiko: If the Oni
can't defeat you,

I know someone who will.

There's an answer, I swear.
Come on, just try.



What gets broken
without being held?

I don't care.

A promise. Get it?

No, I don't.
It's stupid.

It's not funny.
None of this is funny.

(grunting)

What has teeth
but doesn't bite?

- Will you shut up already?
- Come on. This one's good.

What has teeth
but doesn't bite?

(grunts)

- A comb.
- These jokes are stupid.

They're not jokes, idiot.
They're riddles.

My girl back home loves them.

Merrick: What has
a neck, but no head?



Hayes: Your mother.

A bottle.

What the hell.

(gunshot)

(growling)

(growling)
(gunshots firing)

(grunting)

What has a neck
but no head?

(fly buzzing)

Nogitsune: Coming in
on a Saturday.

That's dedication.

Where's she hiding them?

I'm sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Her little knives.

Daggers.

I know what they are.

Physical representation
of her tails.

However the hell
that works.

Maybe you'd like to
do some reading on it.

I can direct you
to the section

on Japanese myth
in the library.

No. No, I'd like to talk to you.

The older the tail,
the stronger the Oni.

Am I right?
I know there's one left.

I know it's the strongest.

Unfortunately, I don't know
what you're referring to.

You'll talk.

(choking)

They always talk.

Kira: This looks
just like me.

This has to be
my grandmother.

You remember
I told you about Malia?

She's the last one who saw
Stiles at Eichen House.

This picture and this.

They found it with a
body buried in a wall.

The same backwards five
that the Oni put on us

was on the wall.

It sounds like
it all goes back

to your family.

Your grandmother, your mom.

(phone buzzing)

What is it?
My dad.

Noshiko: Kira,
did you bring it?

Kira: You going to tell me what it is?
- Reishi.

You're not seriously giving
dad magic mushrooms?

(Mr. Yukimura coughing)

Are you okay?

Stiles did this?

He wanted the last Kaiken.

I've kept this near me ever
since your friend disappeared.

Mom, you need to talk to us,
about everything.

Where did you get this?

Is it grandma?

No.

It's me.

Hayes, a little help here.

Hayes!

Merrick, what did you say
the count was?

Merrick: Five.

Five crates apples.

There's only three
left here.

Okay, four crates apples.

Hayes, come on!

If that's you, then you'd
have to be like 90 years old.

Closer to 900.

Okay, sure.
Why not?

Dad, how old are you?

43.

But I've been told
I look mid-30s.

The blade was shattered
the last time it was used.

When was that?

1943.

Against a Nogitsune.

All this, it's all
happened before, hasn't it?

Yes.

Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned to repeat it.

Where did it come from?

It was an internment
camp during World War II.

In Oak Creek.
Not too far from here.

Hold on. You told
Allison and Isaac

that there was no internment
camp at Oak Creek.

Allison's family has
a certain history of violence.

I didn't know if
she could be trusted.

There was a camp, yes.

But all the records
were erased.

They covered it up.

When I was a grad student,

my passion project,

actually more like
an obsession,

was trying to dig up
the truth on Oak Creek.

It's how I met your mother, Kira.

So, where did the
Nogitsune come from?

Isn't it obvious yet?

It came from me.

Guys, keep your
voices down.

- There's plenty for everyone.
- But if the MPs hear, no one gets anything.

Young Noshiko: Michio.

A baseball, Noshiko?

Did you manage to steal any firecrackers?
A machine gun maybe?

(sighs)

I can feel your glare on the
back of my head, Satomi.

You take too frequently.
And you take too much.

Should I give some back?

I know you get migraines
at least once a month.

I prefer to suffer.

I know what you
think of me, Noshiko.

You think I am weak
because I follow the rules.

You think rules are for the
obedience of fools and cowards.

The young fox always knows the
rules so she can break them.

The older, wiser animal

learns the exceptions
to the rules.

Listen, you two, all we
have to do is stay quiet.

(glass shattering)

Michio, get back.

Man: What the hell was that?

The MPs are coming.

Somebody lose something?

There were supplies stolen
off the truck last night.

Anybody here got
any ideas what happened?

Merrick. Just doing my
patriotic duty, corporal.

Rhys: I want that
window fixed.

There'll be an inspection
in the morning.

We better not find anything
that shouldn't be here.

We're not gonna look now?

Inspection in the morning.

This is a relocation center.
Not a prison.

(chuckles) You can call it a summer
camp if it makes you feel better.

Sir.

(door closing)

(speaking Japanese)

Or as the Americans say,

you reap what you sow.

Kira, I need your help on this.

There isn't much time.

And this is something that needs
to be done in the daylight.

Not until you
tell us everything.

Tell them, Noshiko.
Tell them what they need to know.

Wolves and foxes
tend not to get along.

Not just in
fables and stories.

Mr. Yukimura: But allies,
however unlikely, should be welcomed.

Especially in times of war.

Sorry, but I can't let
you walk out with this.

It's way above
the legal voltage limit.

I only use it for hunting.

Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure
you could use it to jump-start a 747.

This property belongs to me
and the charges were dropped.

Although, I'm not exactly sure
who's responsible for that.

I am. I'll take
care of this, Parrish.

Sheriff, I'm not kidding.

This thing's a few watts
from being a lightsaber.

I said I'll take care of it.

The specialist I saw in la told me
the thing that every doctor says

when he's trying
to avoid a lawsuit.

"We can't say for sure."

And then I spoke with Melissa.

These are brain scans.
My wife's and Stiles'.

I knew they were similar.

But those are the same.

Exactly the same.

And I'm guessing this isn't possible?
Not even remotely.

So the trickster is
still playing tricks.

But why this trick?

When I was in the Army,

an officer told me,
"if you want to defeat your enemy,"

"you don't take away their courage."

"you take away their hope."

You don't look like a man
who gives up hope easily.

But Stiles might.

If this thing inside him, if
it's using his mother's disease

as some sort of
psychological trick,

then this isn't just
a fight for his body.

It's also a fight
for his mind. Right?

You know, he's left
people severely injured.

And others severely dead.

That's why I need
the two of you.

I need people who are experienced
in this kind of thing.

I need you to
help me stop him.

And by stop him,
you mean trap him.

Why do I like you
when you're acting tough?

Maybe because you
want me to be a fighter.

No, I like my
handsome medic.

Don't like him too much.

Your handsome medic
is getting worried.

I think you need to
ease up on all the stuff

you're taking off
the truck, Noshiko.

Especially medical supplies.

People are
starting to notice.

So what if they notice?

(speaking Japanese)

You're quoting Japanese
proverbs to me?

The stake that sticks out
gets hammered down.

It's a good proverb.

You know they're
gonna come in

and just confiscate
everything, right?

They'll punish everyone and
get them to turn you in.

That's how they do it in the Army.

Okay, I get it.

And if missing a few bottles
of aspirin is that bad,

I'll bring them back.

Let me help.
I can get stuff too.

I can be pretty sly myself.

Oh, my god.
Is that chocolate?

I thought you liked it
when I'm tough.

I like chocolate more.

Okay, stop.
Just stop.

We don't want to hear
your Casablanca story.

We wanna know
how to save Stiles.

I'm trying to tell you.

You're trying to stall.

When the sun goes down,

the Oni are gonna come after
him again, aren't they?

Your friend's gone, Scott.

I don't think you
know that for sure.

You brought the Oni.
Can you call them off?

It's not his fault.

Stiles may be
your best friend.

He might be like
a brother to you.

But he is Nogitsune now.

He is void.

Can you call them off?

When you hear
the rest of the story,

you won't want me to.

(screaming)

This is everything
non-lethal I could find.

Take all of it.

What's the plan here?

Our best shot right now
is for Derek

to try to pick up Stiles'
scent at Eichen House.

Especially if he went through
something stressful there.

Should all four of us
be going to the same place?

Where else has
Stiles been showing up?

School, the hospital.

Okay, hold on.
We did this already.

He disappeared.
We started looking for him.

Then walked right into
a trap at the hospital.

He's getting us to repeat
the same moves.

So, what do we do?
Wait for him to come to us?

We can't. Not if the Oni find
him when the sun goes down.

Scott's working on them
right now, with Kira.

Chris: That's the problem.

We're all trying
to outfox the fox.

Listen.

I'll understand
if anyone wants to back out.

It wouldn't be the first
wolf to run from a fox.

Apparently I'm carrying
the lightsaber.

Dad, you and Derek
hit Eichen House.

Sheriff, it's you and me
in the hospital.

We all meet in the school.

Making sure you have a few
lethal options just in case?

I like to prepare
for the worst.

Rhys and I found
ways to see each other.

Sometimes at the barracks.

Sometimes in the bunkers

where they parked
military vehicles.

He was being transferred to
north Africa in a few weeks.

I was teaching him
some french.

(attempting to speak french)

Foudre. It's an "ah" sound.

Coup de foudre.

Not bad.
It's an idiom.

But the literal translation
is "bolt of lightning."

Embrasse-moi.

I don't remember
teaching you that.

That one's self-taught.

I figured it might
come in handy.

So, embrasse-moi.

Kiss me.

Noshiko: We watched Merrick
and Hayes talking with the camp doctor.

They were whispering,
talking quickly.

Mr. Yukimura: Noshiko.

Mom, what are you doing?

How did you do that?

It's one of our talents.

Something you'll learn, Kira.

You should've noticed by now
that you never get sick.

Ever.

You'll never experience something
as simple as a common cold.

Something as bad
as the flu.

Or something like...

Pneumonia.
Same as the others.

(Rinko coughing)

Rinko... I'm okay.
It's not that bad.

(inaudible)

Everyone's coming down
with pneumonia.

And we are all out of M & B.

M & B?

May and Baker pharmaceuticals.
It's sulfadiazine.

I saw those boxes.

What do you mean boxes?
We only got one.

There were three.

I know I took a bunch
of stuff off that truck,

but I didn't
take any M & B.

Rhys checked his log.

But we already knew
what was happening.

Dr. Liston was using
Merrick and Hayes

to sell medicine on the black market.

Michio? Michio?
Michio!

(shouting in Japanese)

(sobbing)

Rinko: Listen. Listen!

All we have to do is
go to the administration

and issue a formal complaint.

You want to talk to them?
Let's talk to them.

Let's tell them how
one of their doctors

has been stealing medication and
selling it on the black market.

They'll listen.
They have to.

I'm sure they will.
They'll nod their heads

with their condescending smiles.

They'll say, "a new
shipment is on its way."

"any day now."
while today...

Today,

my son is dead.

I know how you feel...
(coughing)

No, Rinko.
I know how you feel.

You feel sick.

I'm going to bury you
next to Michio.

You want to know
what I think?

You won't even get
a condescending smile.

They won't listen to us.

Why should they?

I have a way to
make them listen.

I had realized the mistake I
had made by speaking too soon.

I wasn't helping anyone.
I was inciting a riot.

(indistinct chattering)

Stop! Stop!
Put your guns away.

Put 'em away!

We want the doctor!

(mob shouting)

Those people, if they
manage to drag me out

of this car, do you know
what's going to happen?

They are going to put a
noose around my neck!

And maybe they'll be
polite enough

to ask me if I have
any last words.

You know what those
last words are gonna be?

"I had help."

So maybe we throw you
out there now

and provide
a little distraction, huh?

They've got a few pipes,
some rocks and sticks.

You've got guns.

Now, get out there
and shoot something.

Do it!

I yelled for them to stop.

But so many people
were sick.

And so many were dying.

I'd never seen
anger like that.

It was a living,
breathing thing.

(mob shouting)

Get back! Back!
Get back! Get back!

(mob screaming)

Noshiko: Now I knew why Satomi
was always trying to keep quiet.

Why she got migraines
once a month,

and why she was always
at the game of go.

It kept her calm.

She was bitten.

Bitten werewolves

have a harder time

suppressing their anger.

One unexpected flare-up and
they could lose all control.

(growling)

(roaring)

(glass shattering)

(screaming)

(screaming)

(sighing)

You know what, I don't
know how you guys do it.

You're all so strong.

You're fearless.

Hell, you even manage
to keep your grades up.

I am failing econ.

(sighs)
Is that coach's class?

Well, I'll have a talk with him.

(exhaling deeply)

(elevator stops)

Hey. You okay?

I'm not...

Fearless.

I'm terrified.

(weeping) I'm always terrified.
I...

I act like I know what
I'm doing, but I don't.

I don't know if Isaac
is dying right now.

I don't know if I made
a mistake with Scott.

I don't know what
my dad is thinking.

I don't know if we should trust Derek.
I don't know...

I don't know anything.

(sniffling)

You know what's funny?

You sound just like a cop.

(chuckling and sniffling)

Hey.

You're gonna be okay.

Okay.

(phone buzzing)

Allison: What's that?
(cell phone beeps)

Someone's breaking
into my house.

After Stiles started
sleepwalking,

I had some security
precautions put in.

Motion sensors.
Cameras.

Is that his room?

(mob shouting)

(gunshots firing)

(people screaming)

Noshiko: The gunfire
nearly killed me.

I don't know how many bullets
made their way into my body,

but I fought
every one of them.

It left my body so weak,

my heartbeat so slow it appeared
as though I was dead.

But even then

I was still
better off than Rhys.

(screaming)

His screams could be heard
throughout Eichen House,

echoing through every room,
every hallway.

He died in agony.

The doctor, it seems,
had also sold the morphine.

Merrick and Hayes were given
the task of getting rid of all the bodies,

both American and
Japanese-American.

They were transferring
Dr. Liston out as well,

stationing him
somewhere else.

They were covering it up.

The doctor, Merrick, Hayes,
and all of the others.

They were gonna
get away with murder.

By chance, I guess,

Rhys' body had been
put next to mine.

I wanted the soldiers And the
administration of the camp

to be punished for their crime.

But I knew the
clock was ticking.

I was going to
lose my chance.

They were going to burn
me with the others.

I couldn't fight back with my
body weakened and still healing.

I could barely move.

I was going to die.

With time slipping
through my fingers,

I knew I was making
a terrible decision.

But I could not die knowing
they would get away.

So I called out to our
ancestors for Kitsune-tsuki.

Possession by a fox spirit.

For a powerful Nogitsune,

one that feeds off chaos,
strife and pain,

to take control
of my weakened body,

Imbue it with power
and use it as a weapon.

But calling on a trickster
spirit is a dangerous thing.

They can have a very
dark sense of humor.

Because while the Nogitsune
did come to possess someone,

it wasn't me.

What the hell.

(growling)

(gunshots)

What happened? My body
was beginning to heal.

And I managed to pull myself
up from the ground.

But it was too late.

Rhys! Rhys, stop!

Rhys!

Rhys!

What did it do?

It brought chaos, strife and
more pain than you can imagine.

(coughing)

(growling)

(screaming)

Noshiko: I had to find him.
I had to stop him.

Kira, hurry.
Night is coming.

(screaming)
(roaring)

(grunting)

(screaming)

(snorting)

(screaming)

(fly buzzing)

Coup de foudre.

The literal translation is
"a bolt of lightning."

In french, it can also mean
"love at first sight."

But a bolt of lightning happens to
be exactly what we need right now.

For what?

Excising the Nogitsune from Rhys'
body shattered the katana.

But you can put it
back together.

Why don't you
just do it yourself?

Because I'm not
a thunder Kitsune.

Do you trust me?

I just found out
you're 900 years old.

I don't think I'm ever
gonna trust you again.

Trust me on this.

(clattering)

What is all this?

What are these
sticky notes for?

This is what Stiles used to try and
explain to me about all of you.

Cool, maybe it's a
message from Stiles.

The real Stiles.

Derek: You think there's any
reason my name's on the king?

Stilinski: Well,
you're heavily guarded.

Though I guess the
alarming detail is that

you're one move
from being in checkmate.

Chris: It's not a message
from Stiles.

It's a threat
from the Nogitsune.

He's at the loft. That's
what he's trying to tell us.

And he wants us to come there.
Night's falling.

This couldn't sound
any more like a trap.

I don't think it is.

I think your opinion might
be slightly biased, sheriff.

Hear me out.

What we're dealing with here is
basically someone who lacks motive.

No rhyme, no reason, right?

Meaning what?
Our enemy is not a killer.

It's a trickster. The killing
is just a by-product.

If you're trying to say
it won't kill us,

I'm not feeling
too confident about that.

It won't.
It wants irony.

It wants to play a trick.
It wants a joke.

All we need to do

is come up with
a new punch line.

The sun is setting, sheriff.

What do you have in mind?

(Kira gasping)

Go ahead.

It's yours now.

What if I don't want it?

You need it.

You see?
It gives you balance.

My power is
yours now, Kira.

If the Oni can't stop Stiles,
you have to.

The same as I did.

And maybe seek out
a wolf to help you.

You didn't tell us anything.

You want to save Stiles?

Kill him.

That's the only way.

You agree with this?

Sometimes, history does
repeat itself, Scott.

Only if you don't learn.

But sometimes even then,
fate conspires against you.

(phone buzzing)

There's a way to save him.

There has to be.

Kira.

(dogs barking)

(fly buzzing)

I'll take it somewhere safe.

That's not what
I'm worried about.

History has not done well
with making children into killers.

These children played
their part in it

long before we came
back to Beacon Hills.

(panting)

Noshiko: I buried the jar deep
within the roots of the Nemeton.

It was their sacrifice that
brought its power back.

(gasping)

They let the demon
out of its cage.

Hi, dad.
