Teen Wolf (2011–2017): Season 6, Episode 13 - After Images - full transcript

Scott: Previously on Teen Wolf...

Liam: Where are you going?
Paris.

You have orientation tomorrow.

You're going to be
safe 3,000 miles away.

I'm here to guide you, not
push, not prod, guide.

We can't leave.

Who are you?

Someone who recognizes raw
talent when he sees it.

He's gaining too
much ground on us,

we should be moving faster.

You're talking like an amateur.



An amateur that
killed a hellhound.

Who was wounded and bleeding.

And I took out a werewolf.

Also injured and alone.

Let's not mistake
luck for skill.

The longer we wait, the
weaker he will be.

And the more time he'll
have to find help.

"The greatest victory is that
which requires no battle."

Sun tzu. Got it.

Can we at least keep moving?

Did you hear that?

It's him.

Mason: No. No.

No!



You swear you weren't cheating?

I swear to god.

Fine. One more game.

I have to get back to studying.

Uh, you need any
help with anything?

What, you wanna help me study?

I'm your best friend,
i can help you study.

Nah, go home, dude.

Uh... You, you mind if I...

I mean is, is it cool if...

What, you wanna stay over?

Yeah, is that all right?

I mean, yeah, if
you tell me why.

What do you mean why?

Maybe I just wanna hang out.

What about Corey?

Nah, he's at a
library study group.

We haven't had a sleepover
since we were 10.

What's going on?

You remember that
body that we found?

You know, the one
without the face?

I can't get it out of my head.

Yeah, me, too.

No. Dude, I'm...

I mean, I, I literally

can't get it out of my head.

You know what after images are?

Uh, you mean, like, when
you look at a light bulb

and when you look away you
still kind of see it?

Yeah.

Well, there's this more extreme
version called palinopsia.

It literally means
"seeing again."

I mean, the image just
stays with you...

And you see it again.

And again.

So, where are you
seeing the body?

Everywhere.

Lori...

Lori: I found this.

It's Brett's, and he's
missing, and I heard gunshots.

How do you know
this is his blood?

Because he's my brother.
It's mine, too.

Get it together, Melissa.

Oh, god!

Okay.

Oh, god!

Hey.

I thought you were hanging
out with Liam tonight?

Brett's missing.

"Missing," as in no one can find
him and they're really worried?

"Missing," as in his sister found
blood all over his lacrosse stick.

Why's our missing
always involve blood?

Because it's beacon hills.

Come on, we're meeting Lydia.

How come?

Because we're gonna go find him.

You all right?

Yeah, why?

Just checkin'.

No, it's okay, i
don't see anything.

Huh?

Nothing.

Quiet! Please.

Both: Sorry.

She ever tried this before?

Initiating a premonition?

A few times.

They usually find her.

How will it help us find him?

I don't know.

But if Brett's dead, i
think she'd already know.

Do you think it's working?

It might if you stop talking.

Both: Sorry.

Liam: Here.

I think he set a trap.

He's fighting back.

And now we know he's alive.

But he's still hurt. We need to find
him, he needs to know we're here.

You want the hunter to
know we're here, too?

He's new. We can take him.

Malia: What if Brett howls back?

He'll lead the
hunter right to him.

No, we could find him first.

There's no human that can track
sounds faster than we can.

And we've got the advantage,
we've done this before.

We know what we're doing, guys.

How come I can't
catch his scent?

Lori: He's masking it.

Malia: Can someone
tell him not to?

He went this way.

His trap didn't work.

Maybe this hunter is
not such an amateur.

Or maybe he's learning.

Corey: Does anyone
speak Chinese?

My phone does.

Lux-v...

No, it's a Roman numeral, "68."

Mason: "Sixty-eight."

That's what the
Chinese says, too.

"E, r."

"E, r." "E, r," what?

Erbium.

The atomic number
for erbium is 68.

Corey: What if this whole
thing just says "68"?

Mason: "Sixty-eight" what?
I have no idea.

Okay, so what do we try next?

I'm going back to where
my last premonition was.

And I'm going alone.

I'm surprised you called me.

Well, someone had
to call someone.

I need a tissue
sample from a body.

I was hoping you would go
in there and get it for me.

It's a dead body? Right?

Mostly.

Mostly?

Maybe you should just
go see for yourself.

That's not just a dead body.

You felt it, too, didn't you?

Yeah. Fear?

Terror.

The trail ends.

Gerard: The trail ends
when you've found him.

Remember what I told you?

Look for signature prints,
look for heel marks.

And why the heel marks?

Because the heel
comes down first.

It bears all the weight.

So what do you see?

No prints, nothing.

And that tells you what?

It's a misdirect.

Good. And what does that tell
us about our young wolf?

Monroe: He feels us
closing in on him,

he wants to escape the pressure.

Don't ask yourself what
a teenager would do,

ask yourself what
an animal would do.

An animal would run and hide.

And where do wounded
animals go to hide?

They go underground.

Lydia: Sixty-five, 66,

67, 68.

"Sixty-eight."

I've seen it, too.

What are you talking about?

How he shows up out of nowhere.

Don't pretend you
haven't noticed.

I'm not sure what I've seen.

Do you wanna be sure?

If you really wanna
know, i know a way.

Malia: The trail's gone.

Scott: Uh, maybe he
just stopped bleeding.

Liam: God, I think
we should split up.

Lori and I go this way,
you guys go that way.

Or maybe we go in
four directions?

We should stick together.

We have the advantage,
it's four against one.

Not if we split up.

Right. I've been doing this the past
three months without your help.

I think I can make a decision.

Well, if you're deciding to do something
stupid and die, then go ahead.

It's one hunter, one amateur who
doesn't know what they're doing.

Scott?

The hunter. He's
covering his tracks.

Scott: There's another.

Two of them?

Maybe more.

How many hunters have you
seen out here before?

A lot.

Still wanna split up?

We can deal with it.

We just need to
find Brett's trail.

No, we don't.

Rock balancing.
Satomi taught us.

It's him, and I know
where he's going.

He's been poisoned.

That's why he's not healing.

What if he only has a
few hours to live?

Well, if we howl,
we can find him.

That's too risky.

Who cares about the risk?
He could be dying.

He's still moving.

We just need time to think.

I need him to know that I'm
here, that I'm coming for him.

Yeah, Lori's right. He
has to know we're here.

Liam, wait!

How did he get behind us?

He didn't. That wasn't Brett,

that was a werewolf
making a mistake.

Monroe: His friends
are coming for him?

Gerard: It's safe to assume
they're coming for us.

Why are we going back?
What if there is a pack?

Oh, there is. We
can count on it.

Wait, how many are
we talking about?

That's not the right question.

You're thinking from
a place of fear.

I'm thinking logically
and mathematically.

Two of us against
too many of them.

Try thinking strategically.

That's Scott McCall's
achilles' heel.

Like most teenagers, he
thinks with his heart.

So what's our strategy?

Right now?

Divide and conquer.

Melissa: Okay.

There's a perfectly logical
explanation for this,

but if it moves...

I'll empty a clip into it.

Sorry.

Talk.

What?

You said there's a
logical explanation.

Tell me what it is.

You mean to distract myself?

And me.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, sure.

It could be a toxin or gases,

chemicals released by the body.

This thing?

Yeah. Carbogen,

carbon dioxide and oxygen gas

mixed can, uh, make your brain
think that you're suffocating,

and then your body reacts with
intense anxiety and fear.

What else?

Any noxious smells
can induce fear.

Or even infrasounds,

sounds below 20 hertz.

Just do it.

Yeah.

Melissa, now.

Melissa!

I got it!

Why didn't he answer?

Maybe, maybe, he didn't hear us.

Maybe, he can't.

Lori, no!

They knew we were coming.

Don't talk, just heal, and
let us figure this out.

They've been a step ahead
of us the whole time.

I'm sorry, but i can't wait around.
We have to go.

We still have the
numbers, three-to-two.

We're faster, and
we're stronger.

They're smarter.

I don't care who's smarter
or faster or whatever,

my brother's going to die.

Something's not right.

That arrow, the trip
wire, the poison.

These aren't amateurs.

But they've never
fought us before.

And you've never
fought hunters, Liam.

We need to stick together.

I need to go.

No, you're not going alone.
I'll go with you.

Liam, you don't
know who they are

or what they're capable of.

Liam: Look, i know who we are.

We never give up, especially
when it's someone innocent,

when it's someone alone, when
it's one of our friends.

Okay, go, go. All of
you, I'll catch up.

Go, Malia, go with them.

I just need a minute, go.

You just need to shut up.

I think the scary part's over, this
is just the boring science part.

I'm not gonna leave you
alone with that thing.

I bet you wanna know what
scared the hell out of you.

I'm curious.

Let me guess, not very much.

Very little.

What is it?

It's nothing.

No DNA, no cell structure,
there is nothing here.

How is that possible?

It's not.

Which way?

There's gotta be something.

Did he leave anything
for you to find, like,

like a signal, or, more rocks?

I don't see anything.

I don't hear anything.

We'll find something.
He's gonna be okay.

How do you know?

'Cause, 'cause he's strong.

He's really strong.

He's knocked me down on the
lacrosse field more than once.

Now, when i see him coming,

I do everything I can to get
the hell out of the way.

Brett actually started
playing lacrosse for me.

For you?

I didn't have any friends
at my old school.

Devenford prep needed
lacrosse players,

and Brett practiced all summer.

And he got a scholarship
and told them that

they had to take me
if they wanted him.

Hey, we're gonna find him.

Do you smell that?

It's... it's sour.

It smells like
something's rotting.

I think it's poison.

That's how we'll find him.

It's been too long.

Don't worry,

they'll have to come this way.

How do you know?

Well, I wouldn't be down here if I
didn't know exactly where I was.

Why did you let them go?

Because this isn't about
killing just one werewolf.

Sixty-eight miles, 68 degrees...

Route 68?

Lydia will call us when
she has something.

Yeah, I just wish
i could be there.

You know, to help her...

Be alone?

Yeah, good point.

Hey, Nolan.

Studying for bio test?

Trying. Yeah.

Um, trying to understand

how organisms evolve and change.

Like, how a fish can
turn into an alligator.

Uh, alligators aren't fish,

um, they're reptiles.

They, they hatch from
fertilized eggs...

And isn't the test
on DNA versus rna?

Do you think DNA changes?

If it's damaged, yeah.

A change in DNA
could cause cancer.

So organisms can change,

organisms change.

They can change right
in front of your eyes.

I don't think this
is on the test.

Yeah. I wonder if
organisms can change,

and then change back.

Like, they can be
two things at once.

Uh, parrotfish are
protogynous hermaphrodites,

both male and female.

Um, hawkfish change
and change back.

As well as earthworms,
of course, but...

Corey: That's definitely
not on the test,

or any high school test.

I wonder if any of
us have changed.

And if we did, would there
be any way to tell?

Like a DNA test?

I was thinking a different
type of test...

Ow!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Look, look at him. Look!

Wait, he's fine.

It's just a scratch.

Malia: How did we miss that?

Scott: We underestimated them.

Malia: But, how did they
rig a trap that big

with us down here
in the tunnels?

Scott: They didn't. They
rigged it a long time ago.

But we've been through these
tunnels a hundred times.

And whoever this hunter is,

he's been through
them a hundred more.

And he knew we were here, he was
waiting for us, tracking us.

He was prepared and we weren't.

There aren't a lot of people who
spend time in these tunnels.

Who was the last hunter
we saw down here?

Argent...

And Gerard.

The trap wasn't lethal.

It slowed us down.

And split us up.

He's planning something
else, another trap.

And Liam and Lori are
walking right into it.

Sorry.

Hey, sixty-eight.

Hey. Hey.

Do you know anything
about Brett?

Who?

Brett Talbot. Lacrosse player.

What happened to him?

I don't know any Brett.

You're one of them, aren't you?

One of who?

Lori: They all look the same, are
you sure we're going the right way?

I'm positive. I've gotten lost
down here before, more than once.

Just follow the scent.

I hate that scent. Wait.

I hear something.
It sounds like...

A heartbeat.

Brett!

You found the rocks.

Yeah, I found the rocks.

Liam. Hey, we're gonna
get you out of here.

You're a dumbass for doing this.

Oh, is that your way
of thanking me?

No, that's my way of
calling you a dumbass.

But, thanks.

They're coming.

Okay, go, I'll hold 'em off.

Go, go!

There's nobody here.

Lori.

Monroe: Seems like we're letting a
lot of opportunities pass us by.

Gerard: I know we only just met,

but I'm gonna have to ask you
to trust me a little longer.

I'm generally not a
very trusting person.

That's why you are
gonna be good at this.

Good at what?

I thought we're trying
to hunt down a werewolf.

Anyone can learn to
hunt one werewolf.

We are building an army.

An army?

To hunt them all.

I'm sorry.

Let me try again.

Scott: No, no, no,
it's just not working.

I don't think that we
should waste any more time.

Quiet.

Why isn't it working?

How come i can't take your pain?

It's okay.

No, it's not okay.
None of this is okay.

We should've called stiles.

We promised we wouldn't.

It was a stupid promise.

We almost lost him last time.

Yeah, and now I'm
gonna lose you, too.

"You?" You're gonna lose...

Yeah, me. All of us.
You know what I mean.

Yeah, I think so.

And, you know, stiles
wouldn't be okay with this.

If he knew all the things that we
were trying to do without him,

he'd, he'd kill us.

I think he'd be okay.

With this?

With us...

What do you mean?

No, no, no, no, no.
Don't pass out.

I don't think you're
supposed to pass out.

Plus, I'm really confused by what we're
talking about, so, Scott, wake up.

Scott?

What happened?

It worked.

Now, you let me know
if you wanna upgrade

to something with a
little more kick.

Oh, I... I think this
is good enough for now.

Okay.

Uh, you let me know if you remember
anything about your family history

that deals with any of the bizarreness
that we've been dealing with.

Bodies with no DNA?

Or bodies with no DNA that
somehow make you feel terrified.

I don't know if the body's
actually causing the fear.

Maybe it's just amplifying it?

You still feel it, don't you?

Yeah, it's like something
crawling on the back of my neck.

Me, too.

Well, if you find
anything, uh...

I'll call. Great.

Or I'll call if i
remember anything.

Okay. Or not.

Okay, okay.

I should've called.

But you didn't, and that's okay.

Should I have called?
Did you wanna call?

Yeah, I wanted to call.

So did I. Good.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, good.

That is good
information to have.

I should go.

You don't have to go.

Lydia: It was about Nolan.

Would've been nice to know
before he attacked me.

No, he wasn't
trying to hurt you.

He was trying to expose you.

That was a test.

Well, you definitely failed.

It was a geyser, half
the library staring.

You didn't even have a scratch.

Yeah, I remember, because it
was, like, five minutes ago.

Why would Nolan do that?

He's afraid.

Of me? Of us.

I thought your premonition was about
people turning on each other?

I was wrong.

They're gonna turn on us.

And I think it's
already started.

Just a little further,
we're almost out of here.

Lori, no!

Lori, wait!

Lori, wait!

No...

Close your eyes.

I couldn't take away his pain.

Liam.

Monroe: You set this up.

Of course I did.

Is this part of the lesson?

Everything's a lesson,
every moment with me.

And if there's one thing you
learn today, it's this,

the best way to build an
army is through fear.
