Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 4, Episode 8 - Time of Death - full transcript

With Noshiko's help, the team come up with a plan hoping to reveal the benefactor's identity. But Kate's arrival threatens to ruin it all. Malia comes face-to-face with Peter in the Hale vault, thus delving into her past.

Previously on Teen Wolf...

MAN ON TAPE:
Visual confirmation is
required for payment

PARRISH: Meredith's gone,
she hung herself.

STILES: Where the hell
did you come from?

LYDIA: Father and daughter.
We need to
tell her the truth.

She's going to see
the rest of the dead pool
eventually.

Malia?

(SIGHS)

What?

I always sleep
in the middle
of the bed.

Not anymore.



I know.
I'm trying.

(SIGHS)

Yeah. I can't get to sleep
unless I'm in the middle.

Then we spoon.

I can spoon.
Okay.

I can spoon.

(SIGHS)

Mmm.

What now?

My arm's
falling asleep.

I don't like this.

I'm going to kill you.

I know, I know,
I'm sorry.

Okay. Just come here.



I think this is good.

Yeah, this is good.

Preliminary notes

on firearm
discharge incident.

Assailant armed
with sound-suppressor
equipped Walther P88...

Having heard the
perpetrator's threat
and countdown,

I made visual confirmation
of the barrel of the weapon

pressed to the potential
victim's head.

Determining the danger
to be imminent,

I felt no other choice
but to respond

with the use of deadly force.

Thanks for waiting.
I know it's late.

It's okay. It's not like
I'm going to be going to
school tomorrow anyway.

Unfortunately, I'm going
to have to drive back to
San Francisco tonight.

I'll need to do a review
at the field office.

But I'll be back
as soon as I can.

I might have to miss
the first game of the
season.

It's no big deal.

It is to me.

I'm keeping my
promises this time.

What I did,
it was necessary.
Justifiable.

You know that, right?

Have you done it before?

Two other times.

It's not easy,
taking a man's life,

even someone who
forces you to do it.

How do you deal with it?

You look at it logically.
Without emotion.

You compartmentalize.

How do you do that?

I used to do it
by drinking.

One more thing.

When I do come back,
we have to talk
about some stuff.

You and your friends,
the way you guys
handle things,

it doesn't seem
to faze you
like it should.

It's like you guys
know something I don't.

When I come back,

I'd like to be
in the know.

Is three enough?

STILES: Depends on how
many cameras they have.
But I think so.

Are we really
doing this?

We're doing it. Tonight.

But isn't it
kind of dangerous?

It's incredibly dangerous.
And borderline idiotic.

Have you guys
done something
like this before?

Something dangerous?
Or something idiotic?

I think
it's a yes to both.

You don't have to be part
of it if you don't want to.

I'm not scared.

Then you're
borderline idiotic.

If we do this, we don't
know what's coming for us.
You know that, right?

How do we even
know something's
definitely coming?

Because the tape from
Garrett's bag said visual
confirmation required.

Simon said
the same thing.

He couldn't get paid
by The Benefactor

until he had proof
that you guys were dead.

So the idea is,
what if you kill someone
on the dead pool,

but you can't
send the proof?

You don't get paid.

But how does that get us any
closer to The Benefactor?

He still needs to know
if the target is really dead.

Especially if it's
someone high on the list.

So, if he wants visual
confirmation...

He's going to have
to come get it himself.

(SIREN WAILING)

PARAMEDIC: Move, move, move!

NURSE: We need ECG.
(MAN SPEAKING OVER PA)

NURSE: He's flat-lining...
DOCTOR: Get him to trauma 2.

Start another IV.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

DOCTOR: Clear!

(MONITOR FLATLINING)

Still asystole.
Continue chest compressions
and charge to 360.

Clear!

(BEEPING)

Nothing. Still asystole.

(MONITOR FLATLINING)

I'm calling it.

Time of death
2102 hours.

Would someone please
page Melissa McCall?

What are you doing?

Protecting my investment.

Hmm.

Why aren't you healing?

Some wounds take longer.

And some leave scars.
But not for people like you.

So, what's going on?

Maybe I'm just tired.

Derek.

Show me your eyes.

You just saw them.

Show me your real eyes.

Okay.

Now, why don't you
tell me what's really
going on?

(WOMAN WAILING)

(CRYING)
What happened to my son?

(SCREAMING)

Are you guys
totally sure
about this?

I think Liam's
kind of nervous.

Maybe you should
tell him it's going
to be all right.

It's going to
be all right.

So, you've done
this before, right?

I've seen it done.

Is that just as good?

No.

Mom, you're not
inspiring confidence.

Good. This is
a terrible idea.

Do you want us
to do it without you?

Put your hand
over his heart.

Hold on.

What happens while I'm out?
Am I gonna feel anything?

It might feel like
you're dreaming.

Good dreams or bad?

I suppose that
depends on you.

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

(CRACKLING)

(GASPING)

(GASPS)

(SOBBING)

(SNIFFS)

I still hate this plan.

I mean this is pretty
significantly terrifyingly.
He looks dead.

Give me your hand.

It's okay.

(GASPS)

Wait for it.

(HEART BEATING)

Is that enough to keep
a werewolf alive?

Enough for an Alpha.

How much time do we have?

NOSHIKO: Forty-five minutes.

What happens after that?

I bring him back
the same way.

No, I mean what happens
if he stays like this longer
than forty-five minutes?

No one's told her?

What? What happens
after forty-five minutes?

He dies.

That's your
assassin speak?

I said he's dead.
What more do you want?

It was a little dry.
You could've said
something like,

"Target has been neutralized.
The crow flies at midnight."

That's always cool.
Hmm.

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

Type this,
"Visual confirmation
isn't possible.

"Police coming to claim
body in forty minutes."

Tell him number one
on the list is dead.
I killed him.

And if the wire transfer
isn't completed in forty
minutes...

It's just a graze.

But make sure
it doesn't
get infected.

That's probably something
you've never had to
worry about before, is it?

So, it's everything then?

No glowing eyes,
no healing.

Smell, hearing,
speed, everything.

Strength?

I can still
win a fight.

(SIGHS)

You ready?

Mmm-hmm.

One, two...

(GRUNTS)
You cheated.
That's cheating...

I won. When you're a
human facing off against
the supernatural,

you need to bend
the rules a little bit.

I'm gonna teach you
how to bend.

(BEEPING)

I'm here. You ready?

Try it now.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

(HEART BEATING RAPIDLY)

(PANTING)

(GROANS)

LIAM: Catch!

That's why you're
team captain.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

I can't do that.
I can't kill them.

Someone has to.

Why me?
Because you're the Alpha.

I'm not a murderer.

But you are a predator.

No. We're predators...

But we don't have to...

We don't have to...

(PANTING)

(LIAM GROANING)

(GRUNTS)

Scott! Scott, please!
Scott, help me!

(LIAM EXCLAIMING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(CELLPHONE VIBRATES)

(GRUNTS)

(SAFE CREAKS)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

I've gotta buy
a better safe.

What about him?

He's in here every week
with a new self-diagnosis.

Hypochondriac?

Prescription drug addict.

Why are we doing this?

Why are we asking
them to fight these
kinds of fights?

Because otherwise
we'd be asking them
to run and hide.

Is that supposed
to look like that?

No. No, it's not.
Where is that?

The roof. Someone's gonna
have to check it out.

I'll go.

Whoa, whoa. This might not
just be a malfunction.

That's why
I'm bringing this.

I'm coming with you.

Okay. And you're both
coming right back.
Immediately.

(SIGHS) Kids.

I can't let you
leave here with that.

Maybe you won't
have a choice.

Is that right?

I think I could take you.

You've heard rumors
I'm not as strong
as I used to be.

Something like that.

I said you can't
leave with it.

I didn't say you
couldn't read it.

(FLOORBOARDS CREAKING)

(GASPING)

Oh, God.
Mom!

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

(SIGHS)

Nothing.

And how did you
know I was here?
Did you follow me?

No, I'm getting ready
for the Open House tomorrow.

The Open House
is next week.

Okay, I followed you.

Honey, you come up here
every weekend,

sometimes even
during the week,
and as far as I can tell,

there's no boy involved,
so I really have no clue
what you're up to.

I'm trying to figure
something out.

Something important.

And honestly, Mom,
you don't need
to be involved

in every single
detail of my life.

No. But I'd like
to help if I can.

Do you know her?

Meredith Walker.

LIAM: Catch!

That's why
you're the Alpha.

There's something
different, isn't there?

I've got more fangs.

I noticed it
during the quarantine.

I don't know why.

Maybe it's part of being
an Alpha.

Like you're becoming
more of a werewolf.

Or more of a monster.

What if it makes
you stronger?

What if it's like
you're growing?

(THUDS)

THE MUTE: Evolving.

(SHUDDERING)

Looks like someone
did something to it.

(GROWLING)

I think somebody did...

The power's out in
the whole building.
I lost all the cameras.

Stay with Scott.

Text me if you see
or hear anything.

This is a Sig Sauer
P226 9mm.

I don't like guns.

That's because you've
never learned to use one.

Or because I've been shot.

Repeatedly.

You'll like this one.

The legal clip size
in California is ten.

You always want to remember
how many shots you fire.

Running out of bullets
can get you killed.

It also makes you
look stupid.

But using a gun
isn't just about learning
how to point and shoot.

Why's that?

Because an average person
can move twenty-one feet
in one-point-five seconds.

If they have a knife,
they can gut you before
you can pull and fire.

So with a gun,

you need distance.

Go for it.

Pull the gun on me.

So, yeah.

Wanna try again?
Mmm-hmm.

(CLEARS THROAT)

One more time.

I could do this all day.

You cheated.

I'm learning to bend.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

You wanna talk about it?

See a family counselor?

There's nothing in there.

Cost me a lot of money
to get that file.

You got ripped off.

You know what happens
when you only hear
one side of a story?

You've only heard
one side of the story.

(GROWLING)

(ROARING)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(GROWLING)

KIRA'S VOICE:
It's a good plan.

You're not worried,
are you?

Just thinking.

About what?

That we've never actually
been on a real date.

There hasn't been time.

We could make time.

Even though people
are dying all around us?

Okay.

Maybe after that.

We could see a movie.

Haven't seen
a movie in forever.

That sounds like a plan.

It's a good plan.

LIAM: Kira!

Kira! Get up!

Kira!

Kira! Get up!

I'm guessing the power
doesn't go out often
in this hospital.

Only when under attack
by supernatural creatures.

Come on, come on.
Answer the phone.
Answer the phone, Argent.

Come on, Argent,
answer the phone.

Why are you not
answering the phone?

(GRUNTING)

I was right.

Stiles, get out of here.

Get out of the way, Stiles.
I'm taking the body.

Why? Visual confirmation?

Don't worry, handsome.
I'm not The Benefactor.

Then what do you want
with the body?

I wish I could tell you.

(GRUNTING)

I always forget
you carry two.

You murdered people.

Not killed. Murdered.

There were extenuating
circumstances.

Like what? The fire?

A fire that nearly
burned me alive.

Six years in a coma.
Do you know what
that's like for one of us?

It's not a pleasant sleep.

Imagine it. Being trapped
in your body, but still
being fully cognizant.

Unable to do anything
other than listen
to your own thoughts

slowly driving you
absolutely
and totally insane,

minute-by-minute,
day-by-day.

Yes, I've done horrible,
terrible things.

And so have
a lot of people.

And horrible,
terrible things

are going
to keep happening.

Especially when
there's a dead pool
with your name on it.

But not yours.

True.

But I am not
The Benefactor.

I'm just a guy who's out
millions of dollars.

A few thousand of which
I used trying to help you.

Me?

How does the bad guy
prove that he's not so bad?

By doing an act
of kindness.

What could you
ever do for me?

Help you find your mother.

I'm pretty interested myself
as the memory was stolen
from me by my sister, Talia.

Okay.

What did you find?

A woman, might be her.

I don't have a name yet,
just a particularly
interesting alias.

She's called
The Desert Wolf.

Do you know
what that means?

Coyote.

(WOMEN SCREAMING)
ORDERLY: What the...

(WHIMPERING)

(GROWLING)

Are you still a Kitsune?

Technically.

These are your
grandmother's ashes.

Grandma died
in Eichen House.

Your father had
a difficult relationship
with his mother.

But after the things
she said, and the way
she acted...

He thought she was crazy.

Well, she said
she heard things.

Why did she want her
ashes in here?

Well, actually,
she didn't.

She left instructions
to have them spread
across the lake.

How come you
haven't done it?

Because she wanted
you to do it.

When you turned eighteen.

Don't ask me why.

But since there's
only a few weeks till that,

I suppose now is
as good a time as any.

Mom, these aren't
Grandma's ashes.

What do you mean?
Of course they are.

No.

It's Mountain Ash.

(GASPS)

The whole building.

It's all made
of Mountain Ash.

Back off!

You sure you can pull
the trigger fast enough?

I don't want to.

You're not going to kill me.

I'm not going to let you
take his body.

Okay, well, obviously
you guys have
a lot to talk about,

so, maybe
I saw some coffee,

a vending machine
outside.

Listen to me, Kate.
We have a plan.

If killing Scott
was part of it,

you're worse than me.

He's telling the truth.
We're trying to get
to The Benefactor.

If you didn't notice,
you're on that list too.

And you're worth
more than most.

That's why I'm here.

Then back off and let us do
what we planned.

Take the Berserkers, and go.

Kate, please.

We have a plan.

(GROANS)

Liam, run.
Get out of here.

(GROWLING)

Liam!

(ROARS)

(ROARS)

LIAM: Catch!

(WHIMPERING)

Why did you do that?

THE MUTE: Let me help you.

Let me show you how.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SCREAMING)

(RADIO STATIC)

(RADIO STATIC)

(RADIO STATIC)

(RADIO STATIC)

(YELLING)

(GASPS)

What happened? Did it work?

What?

It's your mother...

She's hurt.

(GROANING)

No, no, no, no, no.
Stay with me.

What the hell happened here?

Just help me
get her off the floor.

You were right.

He's still alive.

Thank God.

Hey.

Where have you been?

Talking to Peter.

Okay. You think
that's a good idea?

If he can help me
find my mother,
I don't think I care.

You might be related to him,
but you're not like him.

Maybe I am.

That night
I caused the car crash...

You mean when you
were out-of-control
on the full moon.

There's a part I didn't
tell you about.

Right before
we got in the car,

my mother...

My adoptive mother,
I guess...

We got into a huge fight.

I don't even remember
what it was about, but...

I remember what I said.

Malia.

I said,
"I wish you were all dead."

Killing doesn't
run in a family.

Maybe it does in mine.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

My mom's being taken
to a hospital in Palo Alto.

They actually put her
in a helicopter.

But she's going
to be okay?

Yeah. She just doesn't
heal like she used to.

I need to be there
with her.

Especially if she's
still on the list.

I know. You should go.

I actually have to go back
to the hospital too.

They want to do a bunch
of tests since I was
kind of officially dead.

I guess Liam's dad
has a lot of questions.

Yeah.

I just wish it had all worked.

It was a good plan.

Yean, I've been
thinking about that too.

And actually, I think
maybe it did work.

Not that I know exactly
who The Benefactor is

but we might know
a lot more about him now.

But no one came.
And no one got visual
confirmation, right?

That's why
it might have worked.

Think about it.

Who has the power to know
when someone's dead,

but doesn't need to see
the body to know it happened?

A Banshee.

This was the
last thing your grandmother
wrote down before she died.

Don't even know why
I kept it because it's
basically nonsense.

Are you absolutely sure
Grandma's dead?

Yes.

I mean, she has to be.

This isn't nonsense, Mom.

It's code.
