Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 4, Episode 12 - Smoke and Mirrors - full transcript

LYDIA: Previously, on Teen Wolf...
SCOTT: It's a dead pool. A hit list of

supernatural creatures. Why would someone
use all this money just to kill us?

I know exactly
who The Benefactor is.

Meredith.

It was your idea.

I will take out
all of them!

Is it over?

I'm not a murderer.
STILES: But you are a predator.

DEREK: My strength, the healing.
All of it. SCOTT: Gone?

Whatever Kate did to me,
it's still happening.

(SCREAMS)



STILES: Banshees
predict death.

You wanna bail on the plan.

Not when I'm this close

to killing Scott McCall.

(GROWLING)

We're all going to church!

SCOTT: Mexico.
- Scott!

CHRIS: You ever heard
of the Berserkers?

DEREK: They wore the skins of
bears to channel their ferocity.

No, Kate. Don't.

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

Scott?

(BREATHING RAGGEDLY)



Scott?

(LOW GROWL)

(GROWLS)
(SCREAMS)

(KIRA GRUNTING)

(GROWLING)

I'm going to have to do a
better job of covering that up.

What did you do to him?

How.

That's... That's
the better story.

You see, when I first got
away from the Calaveras,

I had no idea where to go.

But something

kept pulling me here, to
the temple of Tezcatlipoca.

His name means
"smoking mirror"

and this place

is a temple
of the smoking mirror.

Obsidian.

When I got here,
I found the Berserkers

waiting for me.

They helped me survive.

I didn't know quite why

until just recently.

(SCOFFS)

Until I decided
to trust someone

I never thought I'd trust.

It was then
that I found out

I could not only control
the Berserkers,

but I could create them.

They call me La Loba.

"The Bone Woman."

We let you out because I
needed to test his loyalty.

Did you know that
Scott became an Alpha

without having
to kill anyone?

He's been through quite a lot
without ever having to kill.

I think it's time
to change that.

(GASPING)
No, Scott.

No, Scott, no.

(GASPS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

You're not going to Mexico.

Dad, Scott and Kira
have been kidnapped

and taken
to Mexico. Okay?

I think that's a
pretty good reason

for a trip to Mexico.

(INHALES) Okay.

Even if Deaton is right
about this... Yeah.

The best thing to do is to
go through the proper channels.

Dad... That means calling the
right law enforcement agencies,

border patrol,
putting out an all-points.

Dad, I can't
just wait around

for the wheels of bureaucracy to start spinning
in five different government offices. Okay?

Someone needs to go
down there right now,

find them and rescue them.
I'm going.

I can keep you from going.
(MUSIC PLAYING)

I'd find a way.

I can throw you in a cell.

I'd still find a way.

(SIGHS) Stiles, please.

Just give me
a little more time

to verify something
slightly more concrete

than a psychic vision by
some guy with a third eye!

Look, I will call every law
enforcement agency

all the way down to
South America if I have to.

If nothing turns up,

then I'll book
two flights to Mexico.

We'll both go. Okay?

Okay, okay, great.

Do I get a gun?

No.

(SIGHS) I still don't like
relying on these things.

I get it.
You miss your power.

I would, too.

It's not about power, it's
about being able to help.

I don't like
feeling helpless.

I'm human.

Do I look helpless?

You're a much
better shot than me.

Do you really think you
won't be coming back?

Not alive.

You know I'm not
okay with that.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHS)

I am.

If it saves Scott and Kira.

But to be honest, I don't even
know if this is enough firepower

to take down one Berserker.

PETER: Not even close.

(TITTERS)

Killing a Berserker
is next to impossible.

It's not just the firepower, it's
breaking the animal spirit from the human.

Well, the one person we know with
that kind of experience is Argent.

And he's not getting
back to me.

Well, then
you're going to need help.

Like Malia, maybe Liam.

Definitely me.

Here, try that.

Fabric softener.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Remember, Scott's life
is on the line.

(SNIFFS)

Yeah.
That works, too.

Oh! Liam, go home.

You're not coming with us.

Why not? Because
it's a full moon.

And I don't feel like driving
all the way down to Mexico

just to have
you rip my throat out.

You can lock me up, right?

Chain me down to the
back seat or something?

You tore through the last chains, remember?
Yeah, we would have to freeze you in carbonite

to get you down there.

Okay, then where do
we get carbonite?

Seriously, you
haven't seen it either?

Wait!

What if we put me
in the trunk?

You'd get out of that, too.

Liam, you've
been a werewolf

all of five minutes.

You don't have to do this.

I know I don't,
but I want to.

There's gotta be
bigger chains,

a bigger trunk or something.
There has to be.

Maybe there is.

STILES: How did you get
a prison transport van?

I'm a U.S. Marshal.

Yeah, I just thought
that was just a cover.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Are we really bringing him?

Are we really bringing him?

We're bringing
everyone that we can.

And considering Scott
and Kira were taken

the night
before a full moon,

we should
probably get going.

What's that mean? If Kate took Scott back
to the same temple that she took Derek,

how do we know she's not planning
to do the same thing to him?

What, she wants
to make him younger?

Or take him back to when
he wasn't a werewolf.

PETER: A werewolf
can't steal

a true Alpha's power.

But maybe a Nagual jaguar,

with the power
of Tezcatlipoca behind her...

Maybe she can.

So, if everyone is
sufficiently freaked out,

I say we get going.

STILES: We can't.

Not without Lydia.

(SNIFFS)

I hope this works.

(LOW GROWL)

DEREK: What's she doing
at the school anyway?

We got Kira's sword, but we need
something with a stronger scent.

Lydia went to get a
jacket out of her locker.

Nothing.

If she has a car,

she can catch up to us.

That's a good point. We'll
call her from the road.

No. What if
something happened?

What if she's in trouble?

Fine. You stay,
you find her.

We're gonna go
on without you.

LIAM: I could call Mason.

He has a study group
at school.

Maybe he could look
for her.

(SIGHS) All right. Fine.

I need to be back there
with Derek and Liam.

I've got some experience dealing
with out-of-control teen wolves.

You'll be okay
riding with Peter?

He is my father. Maybe we
could do some bonding.

No. No bonding.

Play the radio,
play it loud.

PETER: Remember what
we're dealing with.

It's not just Kate,

it's Berserkers.

You might see human eyes
behind those skulls.

Do not assume that
there's any humanity left.

Oh.

This little one is terrified
of them, aren't you?

Don't worry, my friend.

It is that fear
that will keep you alive.

A reminder to everyone.

You do not fight
Berserkers to survive,

you fight to kill.

(LOW GROWL)

Yeah, her car's here.

You want me to look around the
school and see if I can find her?

LIAM: Yeah, definitely.
Call me as soon as you find her.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

All good?

Okay.

I brought something
to help you.

This has been with my
family for centuries.

It's a very powerful,
supernatural talisman.

We use it to teach Betas
how to control themselves

on a full moon.

Yes, it's powerful.
(CLEARS THROAT)

Very powerful.

Lydia?

No wonder
she's not answering.

What the hell?

(GROWLS)

(MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY
ON RADIO)

Do you mind
if I turn the radio down?

(LOWERS VOLUME)

You worried about Stiles?

I'm worried about everyone.

Do I need to be
worried about you?

We have to go
through the Berserkers

to get to Kate.

Then we have
to go through Kate

to get to Scott and Kira.

Trust me,

it's going to get messy.

Scott says
we don't kill people.

You think

Scott would kill
to save Kira?

Would you?

Kill to save Stiles?

What is it?

The full moon.
(SIGHS)

Good.

You'll need that power.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(GRUNTING)
Whatever you were gonna teach me...

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I think you better start.

(GROANING)

NOSHIKO: It's all
right to cry.

It's no measure
of your strength.

But I'm not strong.

I need to get up.

I need to tell them...

How do you know you can't?

Because I'm not healing.

You told me why I
never get sick.

And you said
I'd learn to heal.

Then learn.

I can't.

I don't know how...

How to start.

Or what to do...

I told you once that foxes

and wolves tend
not to get along.

But they are similar
creatures, aren't they?

You've seen wolves heal.

How do they do it?

Kira,

how do they trigger it?

Pain.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)

With pain.

(GROANING)

(GROANING)

Are you okay?

My head... Oh.

Yeah, it's probably
gonna hurt a lot.

There was this guy.

Huge, really huge.

He had a, a skull
on his face.

Yeah. I know.
I saw it, too.

My phone's gone.

Yeah. I think
that's the point.

Okay. Well, why,
what's he gonna do to us?

I don't know.

But it definitely
doesn't want us to leave.

Lydia, why do you
keep saying "it"?

(CREATURE GROWLS)

(GASPING)

What is that thing?

Not human.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Liam, you with me?

We have a mantra
that we use.

You repeat it,
you focus on the words.

It's like meditating.

You say the words
until you feel control

coming back to you. Okay. Okay, okay!
What are the words?

Okay, look at the triskelion.
See the symbol?

I have a tattoo on my back,
it's the same thing.

Each spiral
means something.

Alpha, Beta, Omega.

It represents the idea
that we can always rise

to one and fall
back to another.

Betas can become Alphas.

Alphas can become Betas.

Can Alphas become Omegas?
All you have to do is say the three words.

And with each one,
you tell yourself

you're getting calmer,

more in control.

Go ahead.

Alpha, Beta...

Slower.

Alpha... Beta...

Omega...

(GROANING) Alpha...

Beta...

Omega...

Good. Say it again. Remember,
every time you say the words,

you're getting calmer.

Alpha, Beta...

Omega.
Say it again.

Derek, I don't think
the powerful talisman

of self-control is working.

(GRUNTING)

Liam, say it again!

(ROARING)

Liam!

(LIAM ROARING)

(GROANING)

Derek?

I think we're gonna need
to go a little faster.

Keep going!

(ROARS)

(GRUNTS)

DEREK: Liam!

Liam...

We're almost there.

You're trying to
stay in control?

Trying to stay human.

That's exactly
your problem.

Scott has you thinking

that control and humanity
are the same for us.

Now, let me give you
some fatherly advice.

If you're gonna face
something as animal

as a Berserker
and try to win,

you need to focus
on the animal inside you.

You'll need
every ounce of ferocity

and savagery
you can muster.

You'll need it all.

(GROANING)
Keep focus!

Derek, I don't think Alpha, Beta,
Omega is resonating with him.

You know any other mantras?

(LIAM GROANING)

Yeah. I do.

Liam, Liam.

What three things
cannot long be hidden?

(GROANING)
Liam!

Liam, look at me. What three
things cannot long be hidden?

STILES: What three things?

(LIAM GRUNTS)

(PANTING) Sun...

The moon...

The truth.

That's it. Say it again.

(LIAM GRUNTING)

Sun, the moon...

The truth.

Derek?

We're okay.

Sun...

Moon...

And the truth.

I can't believe I did it.
(SCOFFS)

For a minute there, I thought I was
gonna tear the two of you apart.

Yeah. That would've made for an
awkward ride home. So, thanks.

Think you can bring
the same level of control

and strength
inside La Iglesia?

All right. We might actually
be able to do this.

(GRUNTING)

(GROWLING)

(GUNSHOTS)

(GRUNTING)

How bad is it?

I'm fine, I'm fine.
Just get to Scott.

Just find him.
We'll be right behind you.

Go.

Go!

Hey, hey, save him.

(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

Lydia was right.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, everyone stop,
stop, stop, stop, stop.

We gotta figure out
where we are,

then we gotta figure out
how to find Scott and Kira.

How do I even
have service...

Hi, Dad.

Okay, Dad,
I know you're angry.

STILINSKI: Oh,
I'm beyond angry.

I've reached
a level of fury

that you could not
possibly comprehend.

Okay, well, when I get back,
you can ground me.

Ground you?
Ground you?

I'm going to hobble you!

Now, please,
tell me you're all right.

Tell me that you're safe.

You want me to lie?

Oh, God.

Okay. Tell me,
tell me what I can do.

How can I help?

She was at the school when we
called Mason to look for her,

but now we're not hearing
back from either of them.

I don't know, Dad, I don't
know what I'm doin'.

You know, I'm just... I'm
trying to save my friends.

Okay.

I'll find Lydia and Mason.

You get Scott and Kira.

You save your friends.

Dad, if it's one of the
Berserkers at the school,

you're gonna need firepower.
A lot.

What do we do now?

Duck.
(GRUNTS)

Get down.
Go back. Get back!

Go! Go, go, go, go!

Can you still
pull a trigger?

Yeah.

All right.

Stay with me.
You're gonna be okay.

It's a mortal wound.

And right now
I'm feeling pretty mortal.

(SIGHS) I'm not
gonna let you die.

(GROWLING IN DISTANCE)

(SIGHS)

Eh, you might just have to

concentrate on
saving yourself.

(SIGHS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SOFTLY)
I don't hear it.

Come on.
No, no.

There's only one way out

on this side
of the basement.

I know.

But if we don't
get out of here,

someone's going to die.

How do you know that?
I just do.

We have to at least see
if he's blocking the exit.

(SIGHS)

(GASPS)

Yeah. He's blockin' it.

Go, go, go.

Go find Kira and Scott.

Go!

(GROWLING)

(SNARLING)

How much did they pay you?

Way more than you're worth.
(GRUNTING)

(GUNSHOTS)

Scott?

Kira?

STILES: Oh.

Are you okay?

It's Scott.
Stiles, it's Scott.

What? The Berserker.
It's him.

Kate did it. What are
you talking about?

She made him
into one of them.

I don't know how,
but it's him.

If they don't know it,
they could kill him.

That's why Lydia's
not here.

They won't know
they're killing Scott.

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(SOFTLY) Derek?

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

Derek?

Derek?

(GROWLING)

Are you serious?
Very.

A baseball bat?
Against that guy?

Or thing or whatever it is.

My friends are in trouble.

And so is Liam,
your best friend.

They need me.
I'm going for it.

And yes,
with a baseball bat.

Argh!

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

I thought you said it
wanted to keep us here,

not hurt us.

I think
it changed its mind.

STILINSKI: Excuse me.

Catch.

(GASPS)

(MASON AND LYDIA COUGHING)

STILINSKI: You both okay?

It was after me.

It wanted me
to stay in Beacon Hills.

I think this was all
some sort of distraction.

Because you knew they're
trying to kill someone.

Kill who?

Scott.

Take him.
Aim for the skull!

PETER: Kill it.
Kill it now!

No, wait, wait.
Malia, wait!

It's Scott.
It's Scott.

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

Scott? Scott, don't!

Scott, it's me.

(GRUNTS)

Scott, don't!

(GRUNTING)

Scott.

(GROWLS)
(GUN FIRING)

They're not going down!

Nothing's getting
through that armor

and I'm running out
of ammo.

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)
(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

LIAM: Scott, Scott,
listen, listen, listen!

You're not a monster!

(LIAM BREATHING HEAVILY)

You're a werewolf!

Like me.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SCREAMS)

You.

The only one who knew as much
as Argent about Berserkers.

About the Nagual.

You taught Kate.
You helped her.

All for power.

For my family's power.

To be rightfully
inherited by me.

Not usurped by some
idiot teenage boy,

so incorruptible, he won't
shed the blood of his enemies

even when justified.

You don't deserve
your power.

Not power like this.

(ROARS)

(ROARS)

(GRUNTS)

Oh, sorry, sweetheart,
we'll talk about this later.

SCOTT: Kira!

You were my Beta first, Scott.

It was my bite
that changed your life.

And my bite
that can end it.

Then, end it, Peter.

Because you won't get
another chance.

(GROWLING)

(YELLS)

(ROARING)

(COCKS GUN)

(GRUNTS)

You're next, Araya.

I'm coming to
kill you next.

Come, La Loba.

Let me show you
how the Calaveras die.

(ROARS)

(WOLF HOWLING)

(GROWLING)

(GROWLING)

(SNARLING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

(SNARLS)

You were...
You were dead.

No.

I was evolving.

Something you'll never do.

(BERSERKER SNARLING)

(GRUNTING)

(BREATHLESS)
Chris?

(GRUNTING)

(YELLS)

PETER: Come on, Scott.

Come on!

Come on.

(GRUNTS)

Fight like an Alpha, Scott.

(GROANING)

(GRUNTING)

PETER: You want to
defeat me?

You're going to
have to kill me!

(ROARS)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

You were never
an Alpha, Peter.

But you were
always a monster.

(GROANS)

(GUNSHOTS)

(KATE GRUNTS)

(GUNSHOTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

You want to kill me, Chris?

No.

But I don't want to
save you anymore either.

I don't know
that you're worth saving.

Just like
when we were kids.

Always trying to
make me the bad guy.

You can't see them clearly
anymore, can you?

Scott's not
your little hero.

None of 'em are.

Not when they
killed Allison.

Allison died.

She died
saving her friends.

Who would you die for?

Hmm?

You're not gonna kill me.

And you're not gonna catch me.
(PANTING)

Not you.
(GROANS)

Not Peter.
And not the Calaveras.

(GRUNTS)

(BREATHING RAGGEDLY)

CHRIS: There's enough
yellow wolfsbane

to keep Peter out
for the trip back.

But be careful.

You're really
going with them?

CHRIS: I made a deal with
the Calaveras weeks ago.

They'll leave you alone.

All of you.

But only if I help them
catch Kate.

What if you can't?

I'll find her.
Someone has to.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

So you're not really
a U.S. Marshal, are you?

I was.

But I spent too long
looking for one person.

It's hard to keep a job when
part of it becomes an obsession.

Who were you after?

All I know is a code name.

The Desert Wolf.

Dad, you smell terrible.

STILINSKI: Yup.
You do too.

(SOFTLY) Come here.

I'm just so glad
you're both safe.

Hey, what do you say we get outta
here, get something to eat?

Great. I'm starving. Okay.

Yo, Daddy?

What's your favorite food?
Uh, pizza.

Hey.
(METAL CLANGING)

Dad?

Bring me back a slice?

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

The shard of obsidian
that you brought back, Kira.

There's a reason
you kept it.

And a reason your
father took the liberty

of making
an alteration to it.

Do you know what it is?

A tail.

Your first.

Then Stiles said that Scott
and Kira were stuck in Mexico

which was why
they missed the game.

Uh, so we went down
to Mexico

to drive them back
from Mexico

and that's why
we all missed practice.

'Cause...

We were all in Mexico.

You took Kira
on a date to Mexico?

It was our first real date.

In Mexico?

They wanted to do
something special.

Okay. I believe you.

Really?
Absolutely not.

But I've had experiences
south of the border

that would knock
the genitals off you boys.

Still, let me be clear
to you two.

This kid's the best talent
I've seen in years.

So he's your
responsibility now.

You boys are gonna
stick together.

You're gonna
look out for each other.

And you're gonna
have each other's backs.

You got it?

We got it.

This used to be
on a hard drive.

But we eventually decided
it might be a good idea

to have a hard copy around.

So we put it in a book.

What is it?

It's called the Bestiary.

Whatever you are,

it might be in here.

I'd like to
help you figure it out.

You actually think
this is gonna hold me?

You think you can
shoot me up with wolfsbane,

make me docile and weak,

and I won't find a way out?

DR. VALACK: It's not
just the wolfsbane.

It's the mountain ash wood
framework of the cells.

It's all around us.

Who the hell are you?

I could tell you.

But it's easier
if I just... show you.

(SCREAMS)

(PRISONERS SHOUTING
INDISTINCTLY)
