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

Previously on "Teen Wolf"...

You know what I want
for my birthday?

To not be
a 17-year-old virgin.

Aah!

All her friends say you're
the last person who saw her.

Wanna help?
Find something real.

- Okay. They're on our side now.
- Then maybe you should tell her

what her mother was actually
trying to do that night.

There's a dead body.
It's Erica.

Who's the other girl...

The one locked in there
with Boyd?



She's my sister...
my younger sister!

Scott, you gotta
get out of there.

They haven't felt
the full moon in months.

No, don't break the seal!

Aah!

Got one!

What are you doing, dumbass?

You're supposed
to put holes in the lid.

Otherwise you'll kill them.

Do I have to let him go?

Do you want him to die?

[fireflies buzzing]

[sighs]

[growls]



[screams]
Billy?

Run! Run!

He's gonna get in.
He's gonna get inside.

Shut up, shut up.
[growling]

[whimpers]

[snarls]

[metal scraping]

[children screaming]

[growls]

[shed crashes]

[screams]

[firelies buzzing]

[snarls]

You lost them?

Yeah, I kind of had to.

Wasn't exactly the plan.

I know, which is why I think
that we should stick together.

Trust me, he's too strong,
too fast,

And way too angry
for one person to handle.

We've got to do this together.

Look, I'm at the trails
by the entrance to the preserve.

- Can you meet me here?
- Yeah.

Just got to drop
something off first.

Mom, I'm going to the store.

Mom, do you hear me?

Of course you didn't.

You would have heard me
screaming like a lunatic.

Lunatic.

Is it them?

We're not the only ones
that decided to stick together.

Is that gonna make it easier
or harder to catch them?

I don't know.

Derek...

I saw Boyd try to
rip two little kids apart.

Are they gonna do that
to everyone they find?

Everyone and anyone.

Oh, god.

[panting]

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god,
please don't be dead.

Please don't be dead,

please don't be dead,
please don't be dead.

Please don't be dead.

Please don't be dead,
please don't be dead.

Oh, my god.

[groans]

Are you kidding me?

[groans]

Oh...

[hyperventilating]

[screaming]

She tried killing you.

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'll tell you everything,
okay?

I'll tell you a-anything
that you want to know,

- but right now...
- Just tell me why.

I-I couldn't.

Allison, I couldn't
let that be

the last memory
that you had of her.

You coming?

Okay, there is a snake
out here the size of a train.

Then kick it.

Uh, yeah, if I kick it,

it will swallow my foot

and drag me
back down to Mordor.

Then jump over it.
[screams]

[laughing]

Ugh!
Oh, whoa, whoops, whoa. Oh.

[relaxed pop music]

Wow.

Nice touch.

[giggles]

♪

You're nervous.

You make me nervous.

That a good thing
or a bad thing?

All good.

Ooh, ooh, that is
a mood killer, though.

♪

- Better?
- Better.

♪

[screaming]

I can't...
I can't be in here, I...

Emily, wait!
Emily!

[screaming]

Emily?

Emily?

Emily, where are you?

Emily!

Em?

[loud rustling]

[screaming]

Emily, where are you?

Emily!

[growling]

[growls]

[snarls]

[growling]

[both snarling]

- Are you okay?
- What?

Are you all right?

You need to get out
of here, okay?

Get out of the woods.

Get out of here
as fast as you can.

Lydia?
Lydia?

- Lydia, are you okay?
- I'm okay.

That, over there...

Not okay.

Yeah, all right.
I'm gonna call my dad.

I already called 911.

You called the police
before you called me?

I'm supposed to call you first
when I find a dead body?

Yes!

- Are you sure?
- Yep.

Throat ripped out,
blood everywhere.

It's like the frickin' shining
over here.

Two little twin girls
come out of the woods,

start asking me to play
with them forever and ever,

I'm not gonna be surprised.

Can you get a little closer
to make sure it was them?

Make sure it was them?

Scott, who else is going around
ripping throats out?

Please just do it.

This doesn't make any sense.

The public pool is all the way
on the other side of the woods.

We haven't tracked them
anywhere near there.

Derek, they killed someone.

- How are they moving so fast?
- Derek.

But they can't
be that fast on foot.

They killed someone.

Some totally innocent kid
is dead...

And it's our fault.

It's my fault.

We need help.

We have Isaac now.

I mean real help.

They're too fast for us,
for all of us.

They're too strong,
too rabid.

- We'll catch 'em.
- What happens if we do?

We just gonna hold them down
until the sun comes up?

Maybe it would be easier
just to kill 'em.

Killing them isn't
the right thing to do.

What if it's
the only thing to do?

If we can't even catch them,
what else do we do?

Find someone who knows
what they're doing.

Who?

Someone who knows
how to hunt werewolves.

[police radio chatter]

So, Caitlin, you and Emily,

were the two of you drinking?

- No, no.
- Anything else?

Caitlin...

We split a tab of "X."

Well, MDMA can
cause hallucinations,

and it could've been
laced with something too.

You think I hallucinated.

You think you saw a girl
with glowing eyes and fangs?

And claws.

Hey, we're gonna get you
to the hospital,

figure out exactly
what it was that you took.

What about the other three?
The three guys?

We'll need better
descriptions of them too.

[sighs]

Let's get an APB out
on Emily.

The other girl too,
as soon as we get

something better than
claws and fangs.

You believe her?

She saw something.

You mean someone.

[sighs]

It has to be the one
with the eggs.

[sighs]

Uh, hi.

Do you think
this is gonna work?

- Nope.
- Me neither.

So your, uh...
your sister...

Sorry, yeah, it's...
[clears throat]

It's bad timing, I'm sorry.

I'll ask later.
It's fine.

Or never.

Yeah, yeah,
I'm good with never.

First of all,
why would I care

about anyone
related to Derek?

And second, I don't know
this kid Boyd.

I don't even know
his last name.

Boyd is his last name.

- What's his first name?
- Vernon.

- Eh.
- And just curious,

is there a reason the gun
is still pointed at me?

Well, there's probably
still some part of me

that wants to shoot you.

I get that.

[sighs]

Scott, I watched my father
brainwash my daughter...

Almost turn her
into a killer.

That world... your world
decimated mine.

My wife, sister, father,
my entire family.

Why would I ever
step foot in it again?

Because people
are going to die.

And because you know how
to catch Boyd and Cora

without killing them.

I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

Um...

Do you think you could do me,
like, one little, tiny favor?

- Left or straight?
- Left.

Sorry.
It's right around the corner.

That parking lot there.

Yeah, just a little further up,
right here.

[police radio chatter]

[gear clunks]

Thanks again for the ride.

They did this?
Boyd and...

Cora.

Where's the last place
you saw them?

You're tracking them by print?
Trying to.

Well, then, you've been
wasting your time.

There's only
one creature on earth

that can visually track
footprints,

and that's man.

And if you're
not trained like me,

you have no idea that
this print is Boyd's and these...

- Are Cora's.
- Nope.

They're yours.

You trampled Cora's
as soon as you walked over here.

Listen, I know the three of you
are focusing half your energy

on resisting your own urges
under the full moon,

but that puts you
at a severe disadvantage

to Boyd and Cora,
who have fully given in.

They put the pedal to the floor

where you three are
barely hitting the speed limit.

So what do we do?

Focus on your sense of smell.

Actual wolves are known
to track their prey

by up to a hundred miles
a day by scent.

A trained hunter can use scent
to track them.

If the wind is with them,

wolves can track a scent
by a distance of two miles,

which means
we can draw them to us...

[growls]
Or into a trap.

Full moon does give us
one advantage.

They'll have
a higher heat signature,

which makes them easier
to spot with infrared.

Thanks,
but I've got my own.

Just remember, we're not
hunting wild animals.

Underneath those impulses are
two intelligent human beings.

Don't think they can't
rely on that human side.

It's suppressed,
but it's there,

reminding them how
to mask their scent,

how to cover their tracks,

How to survive.

When's the last time
you saw your sister?

Nine years.

I thought she died
in the fire.

Do you feel like you have
a lock on her scent?

Scott, how confident are you
in your skills?

Honestly, most of the time,

I'm trying not to think about
all the things I can smell.

All right.

The problem is
when they breach the woods

and hit the residential area.

Once they're
past the high school,

they're right in the middle
of Beacon Hills.

They're not gonna kill
everything they see, are they?

No.

But there is an important
difference to recognize.

Wolves hunt for food.

At a certain point,
they get full.

But Boyd and Cora
are hunting for

the pleasure of the kill,

for some primal apex
predatory satisfaction

that comes from the ripping
of warm bodies to bloody shreds.

And who knows when that need
gets satiated?

- We can't kill them.
- What if we can't catch 'em?

Then maybe we just need
to contain them.

There's no one in the school
at night, is there?

You want to
trap them inside?

If there's somewhere
with a strong enough door,

no windows
or access to the outside.

What about the boiler room?

It's just one big steel door.

You're sure
the school's empty?

It has to be.

There can't be anyone there
this late, right?

These are
ultrasonic emitters.

It's one of the tools we use
to corral werewolves,

pushing them into a direction
we want them to run.

Gives off a high-pitched
frequency

that only they can hear.

God, no kidding!

These are gonna drive them
to the school?

And then it's up to you
to get them into the basement.

Does anyone else want
to rethink the plan

where we just, uh, kill 'em?

It's going to work.

It'll work.

[both growling]

You didn't have to
follow me home.

I just wanted to make sure
you got in okay.

I had a police escort.

I know the inner workings of
that force, all right?

They're not nearly as reliable
as people think.

Well, you also didn't have to
follow me into my room.

Well, I...

Uh, yeah, I don't
have an answer for that.

I can leave.

Are you really gonna go
without asking me

the question that you've been
dying to ask me?

Que I'm not... I haven't been
dying to ask anything.

I... no questions here
for Stiles.

Nothing.
[sighs]

I can see it on your face.

Maybe my face just has, like,

a naturally interrogatory
exp... expression.

Well, your interrogatory
expression

is getting on my nerves.

[sighs]

The answer is,
I have no clue

how I ended up
finding that body.

I didn't even know where I was
until I got out of the car.

Yeah, but the last time
something like this happened...

I know.

Derek's uncle.

Peter.

And the hunted
becomes the hunter.

You really think a few high-tech
dog whistles are gonna help?

I don't see you
offering a hand.

Personally, I'm trying to
cut down on futile endeavors.

Cora's alive.

I heard.

Let's throw the reunion party

when she's not
an unstoppable killing machine.

- I can stop her.
- Sure you can.

By killing her...

Which happens to be the point
of this little exercise.

Deucalion wants you
to kill them.

He wants you to get rid
of his baggage,

making it easier for you
to join his pack.

The fact that it was supposed
to happen in the vault,

and not up here,
out in the open,

doesn't change his plan.

It just means
that Boyd and Cora

are gonna kill
a few innocent people first.

And I should just let them?

I should be okay
with innocent people dying?

Unless you're okay
killing your own.

- I can catch them.
- Oh, come on.

How much damage can they do?

So they off
a few homeless people,

a drunk stumbling out of
a bar too late. So what?

Let Scott deal with it.

Let him be the hero of his
morally black and white world.

The real survivors,
you and I,

we live in shades of gray.

Then again, even if you did kill
them, you're still an alpha.

You can always
make more werewolves.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Over here.

And if you tell anyone
that I showed you this,

I swear to god, I will kill you
painfully and slowly.

Why do you want to show me
a body I've already seen?

Because you haven't
seen everything.

See this around his neck?

That's a ligature mark.

That means
that he was strangled

with something,
like cord, rope...

Ah, okay, wait a second.

What kind of werewolf
strangles someone?

You know, that's not
very werewolf-y.

My thoughts exactly.

And then there's this.

[shudders]
God, man, what is that?

Is that brain matter?

Yeah, it's brain matter,
of course.

See the indentation?

He was hit in
the back of the head,

hard enough to kill him.

In fact, any one of these things
could have killed him.

I mean, someone seriously
wanted this poor kid dead.

All right, so then this
couldn't have been Boyd or Cora,

you know?

They wouldn't have
done all that.

So maybe this
is just one murder.

I mean, maybe it's
just a random coincidence.

I don't think
it was just one.

- How come?
- Because that girl over there,

she's got
the exact same injuries.

[door creaking]

[sighs]

Do you see that?

Yeah, it's a firefly.

No, no, I know, it...

What?

It's, uh...
it's very unusual.

The, uh, California fireflies
aren't bio-luminescent.

They don't glow.

Does that mean something?

[distant howling]

[both grunting]

[growling]

Oh, great.

Come on.
[horn honking]

[tires squeal]

[both growling]

They're not going
through the school.

They're going over it.

The M.E. Said this one
wasn't just strangled.

Whoever did it
used a garrote,

which is a stick that
you put through the rope,

and you just
kind of keep twisting,

and... Stiles?

Oh, my god,
did you know her?

I'm so sorry.
I didn't even think.

I was...

I was at her party.

It was her birthday.

Her name is Heather.

Okay, we need
to call your father,

'cause you're a witness.

Stiles?

Stiles,
I just turned 17 today.

Mmhmm.

And you know what I want
for my birthday?

To not be
a 17-year old virgin.

Has anyone else
been through here tonight?

Any... any other bodies,
or even anybody missing?

Uh, no, no bodies, but, um...

- What?
- Two girls.

They brought the first one in,
Caitlin, for a tox screen,

and then I overheard
that her girlfriend, Emily,

Just disappeared.

I mean, they were out
in the woods and...

Nobody's found her yet?

I don't know.

- Okay, first one.
- Caitlin.

Okay. Is she here?
Is she here right now?

I think so.

- Okay, where?
- Okay, okay, wait.

Just wait a minute.
I have to talk to her.

Why?

Because I think I know
what's happening.

The red doors,
someone has to get them open.

Someone has to
drive them inside.

I'll go.

No. I'm faster.

[both growling]

[growling]

[growls]

Come and get us.

[growling]

[both screaming]

[growling]

Did that actually just work?

It worked.

What are you hearing?

Heartbeats.

Both of 'em?

Actually...

Three of them.

[metal slamming]

Hello?

Is someone there?

Dr. Kravitz, you have
a visitor in the main lobby.

Dr. Kravitz...

We weren't
doing anything that bad.

I mean, I've camped out there
plenty of times.

Right, but why tonight?

We wanted to be alone
for one night.

Emily lives with her mom,
and I have three roommates.

Not exactly romantic settings,
you know?

How long have you two
been together?

Three months.

And you wanted
to make it romantic.

Yeah, you know, because...

Because it was her first time.

They're gonna find her,
right?

Aren't they?

What are you doing?

Close the door behind me
and keep it shut.

You go in there alone,

and you're either
gonna kill them,

or they kill you.

That's why
I'm going in alone.

[growling]

[all snarling]

[heavy thud]

[growls]

[growls]

[high-pitched ringing,
heartbeats]

Scott?

The sun's coming up.

Scott!

The sun's coming up!

[panting]

There's a teacher.

I'll take care of her.

Get them out of here.

So Boyd and Cora might not
have killed anyone?

You're gonna wish they did.

Why?

I'm not exactly sure yet.

The other girl who was out in
the woods, Emily?

Eventually
they're gonna find her.

She's one of them.

Emily, Heather...

That guy Lydia
found at the pool.

All three were virgins...

And they're all gonna
have the same three injuries...

Strangled, throat slashed,

head bashed in.

It's called
the threefold death.

So if these aren't
random killings,

then what are they?

Sacrifices.

Human sacrifices.
