Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 3, Episode 7 - Currents - full transcript

*Stiles wants to inform his poor father, whose sheriff record is ever-lore tainted by unsolved murder cases, but decides against the risk just when Scott considers allowing him. Tirelessly, Stiles tries truth-saying methods to tap into skeptic Lydia's talents but ultimately finds a clue at badly wounded Danny's sickbed that the mystery murders are linked with earth energy lines. After Allison searches her father's room with Scott, showing him maps suggesting he knows the crime and dump sites in advance, Scott realizes the pattern. Veterinarian druid Alan Deaton is kidnapped by Deucalion's alpha-pack. Derek's' pack tries setting a wet electric trap, but is outsmarted by Kali, who even abducted his teacher protege-admirer Jennifer Blake. When Scott finds Deaton, they are stunned by his red-eyed alpha powers acquisition, a centennial rarity.

Previously on "Teen Wolf"...

Everyone around me
gets hurt.

Mountain ash is some
of what you'll use

to create the barrier.

The only way to protect
one person

is to kill another.

A certain level
of electric current

can keep me
from transforming.

- Aah!
- Derek killed one of ours.

Either he joins our pack,
or Kali goes after him,

and we kill him.



Okay, keep pressure on it.

The doctor's on her way.

And does anyone know
where Dr. Hilyard is?

[siren in distance]

[indistinct
P.A. Announcement]

Oh, thank god.

I'm starving.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Thank you
for bringing me dinner.

Is everything okay?

Except for half
the accident victims

in a ten car pile-up being
rerouted here from downtown,

and the E.R. Attending not
answering any of his pages,

yeah, I'm okay.



What does
not answering pages mean?

It means that
nobody can find him,

so now we have to wait
for the on call to get here.

- Miss.
- Yes?

Excuse me,
can I kind of please

have something
for the pain?

Okay, I'm sorry.
I know.

But, actually,
giving you something

could complicate things,

so we really just need to
wait for the doctors.

Okay?
Yeah.

Okay. How much longer
on Dr. Hilyard?

Ten minutes.

[crying]

Uh, you know,
I think that I read online

that sometimes human contact
can help with pain.

[whimpering]

[gasps]

Someone...
Someone help me!

Oh, I need help!

It's Dr. Hilyard again.

Can you let Melissa know

that it may be
more than ten minutes?

I think there's
an accident up ahead.

Yeah, a ten car pile-up,
which is why we need you here.

I'm going as fast as I can.

Okay, gentle, gentle, gentle!
[screams]

- What did you do to him?
- Nothing.

He said he was having chest
pains and trouble breathing,

but it... it just
kept getting worse.

This is not good.

How much longer
on Dr. Hilyard?

His larynx has shifted
to the side.

I think it's
a tension pneumothorax.

[vomiting]

Mistletoe.

[moaning]

Can you two please go
back to the waiting room?

Where are the nurses
and the doctors?

- Where is everyone?
- It's a full house tonight.

They're tending
to other patients.

Okay, well, mom,
how can we help?

Honey, you can't.
His lung is collapsed.

His heart is being pushed
against his chest cavity, so...

He's gonna die, isn't he?

No. No, he's not.

Scott, you grab the tape.

You grab those scissors
and cut his shirt open.

[grunts]

[gasping]
Okay.

Mom, he's not breathing.

I know, I know.

Okay.

How did you get in?

[gasping]

[gasps]
[tires squeal]

[horn honks]

[screams]

[inhales]

[exhales]

Okay, here we go.

Thank you.

No problem.

What?

That was awesome.

[laughs]

It was no problem, you know?

I mean, it wasn't a big deal.

[laughs]
[exhales]

I know you're not gonna
believe me,

but I didn't do anything.

All I know is that
the minute that you got here,

you went right for Danny,
and your brother went for Lydia.

- We're not gonna hurt him.
- Why should I believe you?

Because we knew one of them
was gonna be important to you,

and now we know it's Lydia.

[crash]

What is it?

[siren]

So what are you saying?

Hang on, hang on.

They were both in the car?

No, dad, they're trying to tell you

that it was two separate
kidnappings, okay?

Two doctors, both gone.

So whose car is this?

Dr. Hilyard, the on-call doctor.

The E.R. Attending is the one
that never made it in.

Let me just focus on getting
your story first, all right?

Yeah.

Boys, give us a second.

[siren in distance]

These are definitely
sacrifices, right?

Yeah, it's one Deaton
mentioned: Healers.

What about Danny?
He threw up mistletoe.

That's not a coincidence,

and if he hadn't
been with Ethan,

he probably would've died.

Danny's not a healer.

I...

Can you hear that?

They found a body.

[camera shutter clicking]

[beeping]

What does it mean?

It means they're coming...

Tonight.

[groans]

[gasps]

[sighs]
Really, boys?

Boys!

What do you think
you're doing?

Uh, we were
watching over you.

We wanted to make sure you
weren't the third sacrifice.

But both of you were asleep.

You were on watch last.

What are you talking about?
You were on watch last.

No, you were on watch last.

I might've been on watch last.

[laughs]

My heroes.

Wait, didn't you say
that they were all doctors?

I mean, I haven't had an M.D.

recently attached
to the end of my name,

so I think
I'm in the clear.

Yeah, but it could
just come

under any kind
of healer, mom,

and you were definitely
a healer last night.

Yeah, well,
I'm not gonna be

anyone's human sacrifice today,

so both of you
get your butts to school.

Good morning.

As you all know, Mr. Harris
is still missing...

I mean, sick.

Anyway, I'm filling in
while we all hope and pray

for a more qualified substitute
to take my place.

Okay, so let's get started, shall we?

Hey, my dad said that the
E.R. Attending wasn't strangled

but did die
from asphyxiation.

They just don't know how.

Do you think the on-call
doctor could still be alive?

I don't know...
But, Scott,

there's got to be
at least 20 other doctors

in that hospital...
at least, you know?

Any one of them
could be next.

[phone buzzes]

Hey, doc. Sorry,
I'm in class right now.

- Can I call you back later?
- Unfortunately, no.

I honestly thought

I might never have to
burden you like this,

but I'm afraid,
at the moment,

you're my only hope.

I'm going to be taken.

I need you to find me.

[disconnect beep]

Doc, doc, doc, doc?
What's happening?

[wings fluttering]

Go back to school.

Well, actually, we can't.

Boyd and I are incredibly
and unbelievably sick.

With what, brain damage?

Well, I have a migraine,

and, uh, Boyd here
has explosive diarrhea.

We're here to protect you.

You're here to protect me?

Well, I'm in trouble them.

Actually, Boyd here
came up with a plan.

Yeah, I thought about the time

Gerard had me
and Erica locked up,

tied up with electrical wires
pushing current through us.

I was wondering how we could
do something like that...

But on a bigger scale.

How did you know?

Stiles called me
as soon as you left school.

I'm sorry.

Your boss's car is still here,

and the back door
was wide open.

Scott...

I need you to tell me
everything.

In a pool of
electrified water,

it can take up to 50 milliamps
to kill a normal human,

less than the power it takes
to turn on a light bulb.

That's comforting.

If we disable
the circuit interrupter

in the building's
electrical room,

the current will keep coming,

and anyone
who steps foot in here,

they'll get
a pretty shocking surprise.

Especially
someone who's barefoot.

All right,

we're gonna do
everything we can.

Right now,
the best thing you can do

is go back to school.

We have to tell him.

You mean, like,
tell him, tell him,

or tell him something else
that isn't telling him

what I think you
want to tell him?

You know what I mean.

You remember
how your mom reacted?

She didn't look you in the eye
for, like, a week.

And she got over it,

and... and it actually
made us closer.

I don't know, dude.
I mean, look at him.

Come on, he's completely
overwhelmed as it is.

He's overwhelmed because he
has no clue what's happening.

He's got people
dying in his town,

the town that
he's supposed to protect,

and it's not his fault

that he doesn't know
what's happening.

He's gonna find out
sooner or later.

Yeah, but is now
really the right time?

What if not telling him now
gets someone else killed?

What if telling him
gets him killed, huh?

I mean, okay, look,

I get that Deaton's
been like a father to you.

I get that, okay?

But this is M... Scott,
this is my actual father.

I can't...

I can't lose both
of my parents, all right?

Not both of them.

You're right.

[sighs]

No, I'm not.

I'm not right.

I'll tell him.

I'll help you.

[sighs]

Please, whatever you need,

however you can help
find my brother.

Will you excuse us
for a moment?

Okay, listen closely,
both of you.

No sheriff, deputy,
or detective

is going to be able
to find him.

You don't have to
ask us for help.

Actually,
I'm trying to help you,

because, if you're
going to find my brother,

then you need to use
the one person

who might actually
have an ability

to seek out
the supernatural.

Lydia.

[fire alarm ringing]

Aw, man.

Where you going?

It's a fire alarm.

When in high school
has a fire alarm

actually been a real fire?

That's exactly
the kind of thing

you'd expect two
dumbass students to say

just before getting
burned alive.

You first.

Go.

You don't have very good taste
in guys, do you?

Hey.

It's Dr. Hilyard, isn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, god. Okay.

Did she have ligature marks
around her throat?

No. How do you know
about that?

I need you to take a look
at the other body with me.

I think I know
how they both died,

and I think it's gonna
help you find Scott's boss.

[scoffs]

Is there a problem?

Yeah, Derek would
like to kindly ask you

to stop seeing Aiden,
which means that if I

catch you with him again,

I'm not going to pull
the fire alarm.

I'm going to pull your tongue
out of your head.

Sweetheart, my last boyfriend
was a homicidal lizard,

so I think
I can handle a werewolf.

Let go.

I said...
Let go.

I said, let go.

[phone buzzes]

[banging]

A Ouija board?

Also called a spirit board,
and it's worth a shot.

A shot in the dark.

Could you just try it,
please, okay?

Let's not forget
who this is for...

Scott's boss,

the guy who has saved
our collective asses

on more than one occasion.

Oh, wait,
should we all do this?

Yeah, yeah.

You guys ready?

Yeah.

Yes.

Where's Dr. Deaton?

What?

Aren't you gonna answer it?

Oh, I don't know
the answer.

I thought we were asking
some sort of spirit.

Well, do you know
any spirits?

Is she for real?

[groans]

[tapping cane]

Do you know
what a metronome is, Scott?

It's a tool to help you
maintain a steady rhythm

once you've set the tempo.

Something tells me
the tempo of your life

has sped up considerably
in the last few hours.

If you'd like,
I could help slow it down

to a more manageable pace.

How?

By helping you find Deaton.

Okay, these are Deaton's keys
for the clinic.

Close you're eyes, and I'm
gonna put 'em in your hand,

and then we're just gonna
try and see

if you can feel out
for his location.

It's called psychometry.

I'm not a psychic.

You're something! Okay?

Just, Lydia,
put out your hand, and...

- Hmm.
- What?

They're cold.

Lydia, concentrate, please?

Trying to save lives here,
for the love of god.

Yeah, what is it?
What do you see?

Nothing.

Your heart's pounding,
but it's not fear.

It's anger.

I bet I know
what you're thinking.

Does he have something to do
with Deaton's disappearance?

Tell you what.

If you can
take the cane away from me,

I'll tell you
exactly where he is.

Now, what do you think?

[grunts]

[groans]

Impressive, but you know
I'm not the one

slashing up innocent people,

praying to ancient gods
or gathering herbs,

or whatever the hell
druids are supposed to do.

I am part of a pack that
wants Derek dead, though.

Kali is coming for him,

so there's a difficult choice
you're about to face,

because someone
is going to die tonight,

and whether that's Derek
or Deaton,

that's up to you.

Just tell me where he is.

I'll give you
a very important clue.

Let the current guide you.

Automatic writing?

Lydia, what are you doing?

What... what the hell is that?

A tree.

A tr...

Lydia, you're
supposed to be writing words,

like in sentences,
something like a location,

something that would
tell us where he is.

Well, maybe you
should've said that.

Isn't she supposed to be
some kind of genius?

Genius? Yes.

Psychic, no.

Honestly, I don't know why

you're even bothering
with me anyway.

I mean, especially
since it's obvious

you should be talking to Danny.

What? Why Danny?

Because... last night,
he was a target.

But it wasn't a sacrifice.

[sighs]

The problem with no ligature
marks around the neck

is that both doctors
were still asphyxiated,

so the question is...

How did they suffocate
if they weren't strangled?

Right.

Now, take a look
at the wrist marks.

What do they tell you?

His hands were tied.

Not just tied.
Look how deep they go.

I don't think that's just
from struggling to get out.

I think he was suspended.

Hanging like that, that means

they would have to keep
lifting their bodies up

in order to breathe.

Eventually,
they would lose strength

and they wouldn't be able to
lift themselves up.

It's how people used to die
from crucifixion.

So you think Deaton is
somewhere right now,

hanging by his wrists?

Yeah.

And when he no longer
has the strength

to pull himself up
to catch a breathe,

how long before he dies?

Minutes.

But isn't Danny
still in the hospital?

Yeah. That's where
we're going right now.

- I'll meet you there.
- Why?

Is this gonna kill him?

I hope so.

So I was looking through
one of his drawers,

and I found this.

[elevator bell dings]

He wasn't
supposed to be back yet.

What do I do?
Where do I go?

[whispering]
What are you doing?

[whispering] Nothing.

Part of you is doing
something.

Oh, sorry.

Stop.

I kind of don't
have control over that.

Okay, well,
I'll turn around.

Yeah, totally.

Allison.

What?

That's worse.

[laughs]

[exhales]

Shh.

[door closes]

See this map?

Last time
we were in here talking,

my dad put a book over it.

There was something
about the way he did it.

It was like... it was like
he was trying to cover it.

I don't see anything.

Yeah, you can't
until you use this.

He's been tracking
and marking everything.

Cora and Boyd at the bank,

the office in the penthouse
above us,

all of the dead bodies.

He has a symbol for where
someone was taken,

and then a different mark

for where the bodies
are found, see?

Now here's the scary part.

There have been
six sacrifices, right?

There are 12 markings
on the map.

What?
What does that mean?

Did your dad find other bodies
and not tell anyone?

I don't think so.

I think he knows

where the body
is going to be found,

so one of these six locations,
one of these,

is where
Deaton could end up.

I mean, it doesn't tell us

where he's being kept
right now, but...

But it's close
to figuring it out.

Yeah.

[elevator bell dings]

[clicks]

Hey.

I, uh,
I didn't hear you come in.

Yeah, I was
just doing some homework.

[whispering]
Danny, you awake?

Danny?

[slap]
[deep breath]

Wow.

[groans]

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything,
Danny.

This is just a dream
that you're having.

Why are you
going through my stuff?

Right, but only
in the dream, remember?

Dream.

Dreaming.

Why would I dream about you
going through my stuff?

I don't know that,
Danny, okay?

It's your dream.
Take responsibility for it.

Shut up
and go back to sleep.

Danny boy, you might've actually
found something here.

Deaton's got to be
at one of the six locations,

but they're all over town.

I don't know how we can
get to all of them fast enough.

Well, we might not have to.

Danny was doing a project
on something

for Mr. Harris's
physics class,

and I think
it actually means something.

What project?

Something on
telluric currents.

- Did you say currents?
- Yeah.

Isn't the light on that
supposed to be on?

Yeah.

What does it mean
if it's not?

Someone cut
the auxiliary power.

What about the main...

[generator powers down]

Derek...

What do we do now?

We fight.

[banging and clanging]

Gonna be honest, Derek.

When Ennis died,

I thought to myself
I'd just go for it.

Find you and kill you,

wherever you stood.

Then I remembered how you
surround yourself

with these teenagers,
hiding behind them,

and I thought,
"what's a girl got to do

to get you alone?"

You and me Derek,
or they tear her apart.

What do you say?

You think you can beat me
one on one?

I'm gonna rip your throat out
with my teeth.

[growls]
[roars]

Okay, so, what does
this kid's homework

have to do
with finding Deaton?

Because it's not
just homework, okay?

It's a project
on geomagnetic fields.

They flow through the earth.

They can even be affected by
lunar phases, all right?

Now, look at this.

This is a note from Harris
on Danny's proposal.

"I strongly advise
you to choose another subject.

"The ideas here, while
innovative and thoughtful,

"border on pseudo-science.

Not suitable for class."

Harris wasn't
just a sacrifice.

He knew something.
Now, check this out.

Allison's dad wasn't the only
one with a map, all right?

Danny had one too.

Danny marked all
the telluric currents, okay?

Now, the weird thing
about Beacon Hills

is that it actually is a beacon.

You wouldn't
believe how much energy

flowing through the earth

is around this town.

Stiles, look, they match.

All right, there's
three places, right?

Where they're kidnapped,

and then the place
where their body was found.

Look, that's right on
the telluric current.

So, maybe
where he was sacrificed

is somewhere in between.

Let me see that.

You said there's six more bodies
to be found.

Deaton's one of them.

Got to be somewhere
in between, right?

Stop.

He's in the vault.

He's in the same vault.

[gasping]

- Guys, hold on.
- Lydia, we don't have time.

It's Boyd.
The plan didn't work.

They cut the power.

It's just like he said.

Go.
I can save Deaton myself.

What?
Scott, what about us?

Cora can't get there fast
enough without you.

Go.
We can save both of them.

All right, let's go.

[engine starts]

[crying]

[screams]

[growling]

Uhh!

[panting]

[growling]

Derek!

[shouts]
No!

Wait!

[groaning]

[snarling]

[grunting]

[growling]

[groaning]

[coughs and moans]

Scott!
Let me give it a shot.

[gunshot]

Okay, what do we do?

Pull all of them.

[electricity crackling]
[cries out]

Take him!

[grunting]

[grunts]

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

[groans]

[grunts]

I'm giving you till
the next full moon, Derek.

Make the smart choice.

Join the pack...

Or next time
I'm killing all of you.

[panting]

It's okay.

No, no.
No, it's not.

It's not.
It's all okay, Derek.

I'm I'm sorry.

The full moon.

That feeling...

That was worth it.

There's a lunar eclipse.

I always wondered what...

What that felt like
for one of us.

For one of us...

Boyd, what do you think
will happen to us

on the lunar eclipse?

They last for hours,
you know,

because it's just
the earth's shadow.

I wonder
what will happen to us.

Maybe it'll make us
stronger.

I hope
it'll make us stronger.

[grunts]

Boyd.

[crying]

If you know
something about him

and you're reluctant
to tell me,

try remembering it's a long list
of favors and penance

before you're redeemed
in my eyes.

You're gonna
tell me the story,

and you're
gonna tell me the truth.

Surprised to see me?

Only surprised that
its taken you this long.

[breathing heavily]

How'd you find us?

The vials in the clinic

with the Celtic symbols on 'em?

I knew that one of 'em
looked familiar.

Sheriff, thank you for being
one hell of a detective.

You bet. Let's get you
an ambulance.

Your eyes were red.

Bright red.

How is that possible?

Paramedics are on their way.

I'll be back
in half a minute.

It's rare.

It's something that doesn't
happen within 100 years,

but every once in a while

a beta can become an alpha

without having to steal
or take that power.

They call it a true alpha.

It's one who rises purely on
the strength of the character,

by virtue,
by sheer force of will.

You knew this would happen.

I believed.

From the moment I knew you
were bitten, I believed.

You're not the only one.

No. Deucalion
isn't after Derek.

He's after you.

[rock music]
