Teen Wolf s01e05 Episode Script
The Tell
(SCREAMS) NARRATOR: Previously on Teen Wolf -Who were they? -Hunters.
That's my dad.
Who's this? That's my dad's sister, Kate.
-Come on! -(COCKS RIFLE) You're staying for dinner.
You eat meat? -Your dad's watching.
-Good.
Think about me.
Naked.
There's no way in hell you're out there kicking ass on the field Iike that without some sort of chemical boost.
What the hell is going on with you, McCall? I'm not the one that bit you.
(SCREAMING) There's another.
DEREK: It's called an AIpha.
Now I'm trying to find him.
But I don't think I can do it without you.
(LIGHTS BUZZING) (HORROR MOVIE PLAYING) WOMAN ON TV: Hurry! Hurry! (SCREAMS) What happened? Let go ofme! Let go! (LIGHTS BUZZING) JACKSON: Now, Hoosiers is not only the best basketball movie ever, -it is the best sports movie ever made.
-No.
-It's got Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper.
-No.
Lydia, -I swear to God you're gonna Iike it.
-No.
I am not watching The Notebookagain.
(STORE PHONE RINGS) Can somebody help me find The Notebook? (TELEPHONE RINGING) -Hello? -(LIGHTS BUZZING) Is anybody working here? (TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING) You gotta be kidding me.
(SIGHS) (LIGHTS BUZZING) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (POP MUSIC PLAYING) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (LOW GROWLING) (GROWLS) (GASPS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (GROWLS) (EXHALES) (CLATTERING) (SHELVES BANGING) (GROANING) (PANTING) (GROWLS) (SCREAMS) Mmm.
Did they forget my curly fries? You're not supposed to eat fries, especially the curly ones.
Well, I'm carrying a Iethal weapon.
If I want the curly fries, I will have the curly fries.
If you think getting rid of contractions in all your sentences makes your argument any more Iegitimate, you are wrong.
(CHUCKLES) (POLICE RADIO BEEPS) DISPATCHER: Unit One, do you copy? (CLEARS THROAT) Sorry.
Unit One, copy.
Got a report ofa possible 187.
(MUFFLED) A murder? (SIREN WAILS) Stay here.
(CAR BEEPING) Paul, Iet's get this area Iocked up.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER) (INAUDIBLE) Oh, no way.
JACKSON: Why the hell can't I just go home? I'm fine.
I hear ya, but the EMT says you hit your head pretty hard.
They just wanna make sure you don't have a concussion.
What part of "I'm fine" are you having a problem grasping? -Okay, I wanna go home.
-And I understand that.
No, you don't understand, which kind of blows my mind, since it should be a pretty basic concept to grasp for a minimum-wage rent-a-cop Iike you! Okay, now, I wanna go home! Oh, whoa, is that a dead body? Everybody back up.
Back up.
Starting to get it? I get that he's killing people, but I don't get why.
I mean, this isn't standard practice, right? We don't go out in the middle of the night murdering everyone, do we? No.
We're predators.
-We don't have to be killers.
-Then why is he a killer? That's what we're gonna find out.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) -You know, I have a Iife, too.
-No, you don't.
Yes, I do! I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or Part of his pack.
Whatever.
I have homework to do.
I have to go to a parent/teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry.
You wanna do homework? Or do you wanna not die? (SIGHS) You have Iess than a week until the full moon.
You don't kill with him, he kills you.
Okay, seriously, who made up these rules? It's a rite of passage into his pack.
You know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school! And you don't have to kill anyone to do it! Why can't you just find him yourself? Why can't you just sniff him out when he's a human? Because his human scent could be entirely different.
It has to be you.
You have a connection with him, a Iink that you can't understand.
If I can teach you to control your abilities, you can find him.
So if I help you, you can stop him? Not alone.
We're stronger in numbers.
A pack makes the individual more powerful.
How am I supposed to help if I have no idea what I'm doing? Because I'm gonna teach you.
Do you remember what happened that first night you were shot in the arm? Right after you were hit? Yeah, I changed back.
Mmm-hmm.
And when you were hit by his car, same thing, right? What's the common denominator? (GROANING) No! What is What the hell are you doing! It'II heal.
(SCOTT GRUNTS) It's still hurt! And that's what keeps you human.
Pain.
(GROANING) Maybe you will survive.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) (UPBEAT POP MUSIC) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hey.
Listen, you know I feel totally horrible about my behavior the other night, right? Oh, totally forgotten.
No, not forgotten by me.
Come on.
Call me a horrid bitch or something.
You were just being protective.
I was being a protective horrid bitch who is giving you your birthday present early so you'II forgive her.
Oh.
(BOTH GIGGLE) (ALLISON GASPS) Forgiven? -Completely.
I Iove it! -It's a family heirloom.
And you know me, I hate and Ioathe all sentimental crap, but that, well, Iook at the symbol in the middle of the pendant.
See that? Yeah.
You ever wanna Iearn a Iittle something about your family? Look it up.
You're gonna make me work for it.
Some mysteries are worth the effort.
(BOTH LAUGH) Aw.
-Okay.
-Bye.
(UPBEAT POP MUSIC) Jesus.
(SIGHS) (WHISPERS) Lydia.
Is today your birthday? No, no, no.
I mean, yes.
PIease don't tell anybody.
I don't even know how Lydia found out.
-Why wouldn't you tell me? -Because I don't want people to know.
Because I'm 17.
You're 17? -That's the reaction I'm trying to avoid.
-Why? I mean, I totally get it.
Uh, you had to repeat a year because of all the moving around, right? What was that for? For Iiterally being the first person to ever make the correct assumption.
Everybody's always Iike, "What? Did you get held back?" "Did you ride the short bus?" Uh, "Did you have a baby?" That's what you hear on your birthday? Oh, yeah.
AII day Iong.
(SIGHS) Then, what if we got out of here? Skip class? Yeah, the whole day.
Well, you're asking someone who's never skipped one class to bail out the entire day, and I don't No, see, that's perfect.
If you get caught, then they'II go easy on you.
Well, what if you get caught? Let's try not to think about that.
Just a friendly reminder, parent/teacher conferences are tonight.
Students below a "C" average are required to attend.
I won't name you, because the shame and self-disgust should be more than enough punishment.
Has anyone seen Scott McCall? (DOOR OPENS) Hey, Jackson.
If you need to Ieave early for any reason, you Iet me know.
Everyone, start reading chapter nine.
Mr.
Stilinski.
Try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs.
It's chemistry, not a coloring book.
(SPITS) Hey, Danny.
Can I ask you a question? -No.
-Well, I'm going to anyway.
Um, did Lydia show up in your homeroom today? (SIGHS) No.
-Can I ask you another question? -Answer's still no.
Does anyone know what happened to her and Jackson Iast night? -He wouldn't tell me.
-But he's your best friend.
-One more question.
-What? Do you find me attractive? (ENERGETIC POP MUSIC) (CLATTERING) (STILES CLEARS THROAT) Uh, maybe this is a bad idea and my dad would kill me if he found out.
Do you always follow your dad's rules? -Not Iately.
-Good.
-Start the car.
-Where are we going? Uh, I don't know.
Somewhere.
Anywhere.
Nowhere I can be seen, right? 'Cause I could get detention.
PIease start the car.
-Or suspended -AIIison, car, start, now.
(ENGINE STARTS) (SIGHING) (INHALES SHARPLY) (GROANS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (DOOR SLAMS SHUT) (SPRAYING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) (SIGHS) (GASPS) (STAMMERING) I don't know where Scott is.
I'm not here for Scott.
I'm here for you.
Why me? I didn't do anything.
No, but you saw something, didn't you? No, I didn't I didn't see anything.
What was it, hmm? An animal? A mountain Iion? I didn't see anything.
I swear.
I'm not Iying.
Then calm down and say it again.
Say what? That I'm not Iying? Tell me that you didn't see anything.
SIowly.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) I didn't see anything.
I'm not Iying.
One more thing.
You should really get that checked out.
(EXHALES) (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) SCOTT: What? Finally! Have you been getting any of my texts? Yeah, Iike all nine million of them.
Do you have any idea what's going on? Lydia is totally M-I-A, Jackson Iooks Iike he's got a time bomb inserted into his face, another random guy's dead, and you have to do something about it.
Like what? Something.
Okay, I'II deal with it Iater.
Left, Ieft, Ieft, Ieft, Ieft.
Sorry, sorry.
I just totally soccer-mom'd you.
I'm sorry.
That's all right.
I'II just pick up my masculinity on the way back.
(ALLISON LAUGHS) (CHUCKLES) -You're still not okay with this, are you? -I just feel Iike I need an alibi.
Well, if we get caught, I'II just say it was my fault.
You don't need to take the blame for me.
-It was my choice, too.
-Oh, good! 'Cause if we get caught, I'm totally gonna blame you.
-Oh, really? -Hell yeah! And they'd believe me.
You know, totally hot girl asks you to skip the day with her.
Like I'm gonna say no.
So throw me under the bus, just Iike that? Yeah.
Throw, push, shove And what if I decide to drag you down with me? I'd just yell for help.
Well, what if I did this? -I'd scream for help.
-And if I did this? -I'd beg for mercy.
-(CHUCKLES) (UPBEAT POP MUSIC) Mmm.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) -Honey, there's a Stiles here to see you.
-What the hell is a "Stiles"? She took a Iittle something to ease her nerves.
-You can You can go in.
-Thanks.
What are you doing here? I was just making sure you were okay.
Hmm.
Why? Uh (CHUCKLES) Because I was worried about you today.
How are you feeling? I feel fantastic.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Oh! What I bet you can't say, "I saw Suzy sittin' in a shoeshine shop" 10 times fast.
I saw Shuzy Uh I shaw (DRAMATIC MUSIC) I saw What? Lydia, what did you see? Something.
Something Iike Like a mountain Iion? A mountain Iion.
Are you sure you saw a mountain Iion, or are you just saying that because that's what the police told you? A mountain Iion.
What's this? A mountain Iion.
Okay.
-Mmm.
-You're so drunk.
(GASPS) ALLISON: Oh! SCOTT: You okay? (LAUGHS) Yeah.
I think you just earned your masculinity back.
(CHUCKLES) What are you doing? I'm just texting Lydia "Thank you" for the birthday stuff.
No.
If mine's off, yours is, too.
-So we're disconnecting from the world? -You can handle that for one day, right? Just this one text, and then I will be all yours, okay? Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES) Well, I'm gonna go.
Uh, I'II Iet you get back to the whole post-traumatic stress thing.
Mmm.
Stay.
Me? Stay? You want me to stay? Mmm-hmm.
(CHUCKLES) (PATS BED) Mmm-hmm.
Yes, please.
(EXHALES) Stay.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) PIease.
Jackson.
And we're done here.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES) You want me to get that? It's a text.
I don't know how to (DRAMATIC MUSIC) -He wants us to wait.
-So I've been reminded To death.
And that means we're not allowed to kill him.
But it doesn't mean we can't say "Hello.
" (RIFLE COCKS) (ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) -No one home? -Oh, he's here.
He's just not feeling particularly hospitable.
Maybe he's out burying a bone in the backyard.
Really? A dog joke? We're going there, and that's the best you got? If you wanna provoke him, say something Iike, "Too bad your sister 'bit it' before she had her first Iitter.
" Too bad she howled Iike a bitch when we cut her in half! (GROWLING) (THUD) (GROWLING) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (ZAPPING) (GROANING) -Wow.
-(BREATHING HEAVILY) This one grew up in all the right places.
I don't know whether to kill it or Iick it.
Hey, it's me again.
Look, I found something, and I don't know what to do, okay? So if you could turn your phone on right now, that'd be great.
Or else I'II kill you.
Do you understand me? I'm gonna kill you.
And I'm too upset to come up with a witty description about how exactly I'm gonna kill you, but I'm just gonna do it, okay? I'm gonna Ugh! Goodbye.
(SIGHING) -God.
-(KNOCKING ON DOOR) (GASPS) PIease tell me I'm gonna hear good news at this parent/teacher thing tonight.
Depends on how you define "Good news.
" I define it as you getting straight A's with no behavioral issues.
You might wanna rethink that definition.
Enough said.
(SIGHS) Come on, Scott.
Where the hell are you? (SIGHS) (WHlTE NlGHTSPLAYING) (INAUDIBLE) These dreams under mypillow In the twilight ofthese white nights These dreams under my pillow In the bright lights ofthese white nights Ofthese white nights Of these white nights Of these white nights (SIGHS) (SIGHING) (WEAPON ZAPPING) (GROANING) (ZAPPING) (GROWLS) (GROANING) (LAUGHING) Oh.
(SIGHS) You never were good with electricity, were you? Or fire.
(CHUCKLES) Which is why I'm gonna Iet you in on a Iittle secret.
And, well, maybe we can help each other out.
Yes, your sister was severed into pieces and used as bait to try to catch you.
Unpleasant, and frankly, a Iittle too Texas Chainsaw Massacrefor my taste, but quite true.
(CHUCKLES) Now, here's the part that might really kick you in your balls.
We didn't kill her.
You think I'm Iying? Wouldn't be the first time.
(CLICKS TONGUE) Sweetie Well, why don't you just Iisten to my heart and tell me if I am.
Okay? We (HEART BEATING) didn't kill your sister.
(HEART BEATING STEADILY) Do you hear that? There's no blips or upticks.
Just the steady beat of the cold, hard truth.
Found bite marks on your sister's body, Derek.
What do you think did that? A mountain Iion? Why aren't we helping each other out? You might as well admit what you've been guessing all along, which is, the AIpha killed your sister.
And all you have to do is tell us who he is, and we'II take care of it for you.
Problem solved, everybody goes home happy.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) Unless, you don't know who he is either.
(CHUCKLES) (LAUGHS) Wow.
Guess who just became totally useless? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DOGS BARKING) Hey, Scott, it's me again.
I'm just calling to make sure that everything's okay.
You were supposed to be here an hour ago.
Maybe you forgot.
Well, whatever it is, just give me a call and Iet me know that everything's okay.
-AII right.
Thanks.
-(BELL JINGLES) Sheriff Stilinski.
Listen, I hate to bother you, but I'm having a bitch of a time getting a consensus -on what this is we're dealing with.
-(CHUCKLES) I'm really flattered you've come to me for help, but, Iike I said before, I'm no expert.
But you were pretty certain the other day about our attacker being a mountain Iion.
That's right.
I wanna show you something.
We got a Iittle Iucky here, the video store didn't have any cameras, but a security camera that was watching another parking Iot happened to grab a few frames.
Take a Iook at our mountain Iion.
Here's another.
DR.
DEATON: It's interesting.
Actually, this is the interesting one.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I see what you mean.
I've never seen a mountain Iion do that.
Can't say I have either.
You've got a problem here.
My first instinct was it was a bear, but bears don't walk on two Iegs.
No, they drop to all fours.
Look, Iike I said, you really need an expert here.
Yeah, yeah, but Could this still be a mountain Iion? I'm sorry.
I've got a sick Doberman that needs my attention.
-No other ideas? -I'm sorry.
Really, I wish I could help you, but I've got a sick Yeah.
Dog.
I heard you.
Thanks for humoring me again.
(DOGS BARKING) (CHUCKLES) SCOTT: Oh (ENGINE STARTS) So being completely honest, this was kind of a perfect birthday.
Good.
I'd know if you were Iying anyway.
Oh, really.
You have a tell.
You touch your eyebrow right here.
Huh! Let's see if you can figure out if I'm Iying now.
Uh I wish that my parents weren't coming home from the teacher conferences.
So I could spend the rest of the day with you.
The rest of the day? Well, the rest of the night.
With me? (CHUCKLES) Oh, God.
The parent/teacher conferences! I'm supposed to be there.
I'm below "C" on, Iike, everything.
Well, they're going on now.
Right now.
Jackson's a highly motivated student.
In fact, I'd describe him as "Unusually driven.
" Yeah, we were hoping he might ease up on himself a Iittle.
He's always been real hard on himself.
It's just, you know, something we assumed was an effect ofhim being adopted.
ADRIAN: I think I understand.
He's never met his biological parents.
MR.
WHITTEMORE: Yeah, that's right.
It's the need to please, the overachieving, the desire to make someone proud Someone he's never even met.
ADRIAN: Something certainly seems to have recalibrated his desire for achievement several notches higher.
Not to be too blunt about it, but he seems almost obsessed.
Let me tell you, there's plenty to say about Lydia.
-(SCOFFS) Did I not predict this? -Here we go.
Total nuclear meltdown as usual.
MR.
MARTIN: What is it? Is it her grades, concentration issues, erratic behavior? I'm not the one who told her she had to choose who she wants to Iive with, as if that wouldn't warp a 16-year-old girl.
Just tell us what the problem is.
I wasn't aware that there was a problem.
Hmm.
Academically, Lydia 's one ofthe finest students I've ever had.
Her A.
P.
classes push her GPA above a 5.
0.
I'd actually like to have her l.
Q.
tested.
And socially, she displays outstanding leadership qualities.
I mean, she's a real leader.
Stiles, that's right.
I thought "Stiles" was his Iast name.
His Iast name is "Stilinski.
" You named your kid "Stiles Stilinski"? No, that's just what he Iikes to be called.
Oh.
Well, I Iike to be called "Cupcake.
" What is his first name? Wow, that's a form of child abuse.
I don't I don't even know how to pronounce that.
-It was his mother's father's name.
-(LAUGHS) Wow.
You must really Iove your wife.
Yeah, I did.
Well, this just became incredibly awkward.
Hey, what do you say we get to the conference part of this conference, Cupcake? I Iike your thinking.
(PAPERS RUSTLING) So, Stiles.
Great kid.
Zero ability to focus.
Super smart.
-Never takes advantage ofhis talents.
-How do you mean? Well, for his final question on his midterm exam, he detailed the entire history of the male circumcision.
Well, I mean, it does have historical significance, right? I mean I teach economics.
Ah, crap! Where the hell are you? Get to the school now.
How about we get started? Sure.
Lately Scott's mind has been somewhere else, as has his body.
Personally, I think it may have something to do with his home situation.
Oh, well, personally, I'm not sure what you mean by "home situation.
" Uh, specifically the Iack of an authority figure.
Yeah, I'm the authority figure, so Sorry.
AIIow me to clarify.
I mean the Iack of a male authority figure.
Oh.
Well, trust me, we're much better off without him in the picture.
Well, does Scott feel the same way? Yes.
I think so.
I hope so.
ADRIAN: But he's going through some difficult changes.
He just needs a little extra attention, a guiding hand through this crucial stage ofhis development.
FEMALE TEACHER: Allison Argent.
An incredibly sweet girl.
And quick to adjust, despite all the moving around.
We know it's hard on her, but, it's a necessary evil.
Necessary or not, I'd be prepared for some How do I put this? Rebelliousness? We appreciate the concern, but we have a great relationship with our daughter.
Very open and honest.
I'm happy to hear that.
And Iet her know that I hope she's feeling better.
Oh, she wasn't in class? Oh, she wasn't in school.
I checked with the office.
Scott, you need to call me right now.
Oh, my God.
Your mom? Yeah, I'm dead.
(GRUNTS) AIIison, answering your cell phone will make discussing the terms of your grounding much easier.
Well, call me back before your punishment reaches biblical proportions.
-Kate hasn't heard from her either.
-She doesn't do this.
Excuse me, you're not AIIison's parents, are you? I'm Scott's mom, and I hate to say it, but he's not answering his phone either.
You're his mother? Funny how you say that Iike it's an accusation.
Well, I wouldn't claim it as a source of pride, since he basically kidnapped my daughter today.
How do we know skipping school wasn't your daughter's idea? My daughter (CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (SIGHS) is right there.
Let's go.
Where exactly have you been? Nowhere, Mom.
Nowhere, meaning not at school.
-Kind of.
-It's not his fault.
-It's my birthday, and we were -CHRIS: AIIison.
In the car.
(GIRL SCREAMS) (INDISTINCT YELLING) (GIRL SCREAMING) (GROWLING) (HEART BEATING) (HEARTBEAT QUICKENS) (GROWLING) (TIRES SCREECH) (CAR HORN HONKING) AIIison! (TIRES SCREECHING) Are you okay? (GROWLING) Move! Move! (CAR HORN HONKING) (TIRES SCREECH) (GIRL SCREAMS) (GROANS) I'm okay.
(GROWLING) (GUNSHOTS) Oh, my God.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (EXHALES) English - US - SDH
That's my dad.
Who's this? That's my dad's sister, Kate.
-Come on! -(COCKS RIFLE) You're staying for dinner.
You eat meat? -Your dad's watching.
-Good.
Think about me.
Naked.
There's no way in hell you're out there kicking ass on the field Iike that without some sort of chemical boost.
What the hell is going on with you, McCall? I'm not the one that bit you.
(SCREAMING) There's another.
DEREK: It's called an AIpha.
Now I'm trying to find him.
But I don't think I can do it without you.
(LIGHTS BUZZING) (HORROR MOVIE PLAYING) WOMAN ON TV: Hurry! Hurry! (SCREAMS) What happened? Let go ofme! Let go! (LIGHTS BUZZING) JACKSON: Now, Hoosiers is not only the best basketball movie ever, -it is the best sports movie ever made.

-No.
Lydia, -I swear to God you're gonna Iike it.
-No.

Well, I'm carrying a Iethal weapon.
If I want the curly fries, I will have the curly fries.

JACKSON: Why the hell can't I just go home? I'm fine.
I hear ya, but the EMT says you hit your head pretty hard.
They just wanna make sure you don't have a concussion.
What part of "I'm fine" are you having a problem grasping? -Okay, I wanna go home.

Yes, I do! I don't care what you say about him making me his pet or Part of his pack.
Whatever.
I have homework to do.
I have to go to a parent/teacher conference tomorrow because I'm failing chemistry.
You wanna do homework? Or do you wanna not die? (SIGHS) You have Iess than a week until the full moon.
You don't kill with him, he kills you.
Okay, seriously, who made up these rules? It's a rite of passage into his pack.
You know what else is a rite of passage? Graduating from high school! And you don't have to kill anyone to do it! Why can't you just find him yourself? Why can't you just sniff him out when he's a human? Because his human scent could be entirely different.

(SIGHS) (WHISPERS) Lydia.
Is today your birthday? No, no, no.
I mean, yes.
PIease don't tell anybody.
I don't even know how Lydia found out.
-Why wouldn't you tell me? -Because I don't want people to know.
Because I'm 17.
You're 17? -That's the reaction I'm trying to avoid.
-Why? I mean, I totally get it.
Uh, you had to repeat a year because of all the moving around, right? What was that for? For Iiterally being the first person to ever make the correct assumption.
Everybody's always Iike, "What? Did you get held back?" "Did you ride the short bus?" Uh, "Did you have a baby?" That's what you hear on your birthday? Oh, yeah.
AII day Iong.
(SIGHS) Then, what if we got out of here? Skip class? Yeah, the whole day.
Well, you're asking someone who's never skipped one class to bail out the entire day, and I don't No, see, that's perfect.
If you get caught, then they'II go easy on you.
Well, what if you get caught? Let's try not to think about that.
Just a friendly reminder, parent/teacher conferences are tonight.
Students below a "C" average are required to attend.
I won't name you, because the shame and self-disgust should be more than enough punishment.
Has anyone seen Scott McCall? (DOOR OPENS) Hey, Jackson.
If you need to Ieave early for any reason, you Iet me know.
Everyone, start reading chapter nine.
Mr.
Stilinski.
Try putting the highlighter down between paragraphs.
It's chemistry, not a coloring book.
(SPITS) Hey, Danny.
Can I ask you a question? -No.
-Well, I'm going to anyway.
Um, did Lydia show up in your homeroom today? (SIGHS) No.
-Can I ask you another question? -Answer's still no.
Does anyone know what happened to her and Jackson Iast night? -He wouldn't tell me.
-But he's your best friend.
-One more question.
-What? Do you find me attractive? (ENERGETIC POP MUSIC) (CLATTERING) (STILES CLEARS THROAT) Uh, maybe this is a bad idea and my dad would kill me if he found out.
Do you always follow your dad's rules? -Not Iately.
-Good.
-Start the car.
-Where are we going? Uh, I don't know.
Somewhere.
Anywhere.
Nowhere I can be seen, right? 'Cause I could get detention.
PIease start the car.
-Or suspended -AIIison, car, start, now.
(ENGINE STARTS) (SIGHING) (INHALES SHARPLY) (GROANS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (DOOR SLAMS SHUT) (SPRAYING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) (SIGHS) (GASPS) (STAMMERING) I don't know where Scott is.
I'm not here for Scott.
I'm here for you.
Why me? I didn't do anything.
No, but you saw something, didn't you? No, I didn't I didn't see anything.
What was it, hmm? An animal? A mountain Iion? I didn't see anything.
I swear.
I'm not Iying.
Then calm down and say it again.
Say what? That I'm not Iying? Tell me that you didn't see anything.
SIowly.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) I didn't see anything.
I'm not Iying.
One more thing.
You should really get that checked out.
(EXHALES) (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) SCOTT: What? Finally! Have you been getting any of my texts? Yeah, Iike all nine million of them.
Do you have any idea what's going on? Lydia is totally M-I-A, Jackson Iooks Iike he's got a time bomb inserted into his face, another random guy's dead, and you have to do something about it.
Like what? Something.
Okay, I'II deal with it Iater.
Left, Ieft, Ieft, Ieft, Ieft.
Sorry, sorry.
I just totally soccer-mom'd you.
I'm sorry.
That's all right.
I'II just pick up my masculinity on the way back.
(ALLISON LAUGHS) (CHUCKLES) -You're still not okay with this, are you? -I just feel Iike I need an alibi.
Well, if we get caught, I'II just say it was my fault.
You don't need to take the blame for me.
-It was my choice, too.
-Oh, good! 'Cause if we get caught, I'm totally gonna blame you.
-Oh, really? -Hell yeah! And they'd believe me.
You know, totally hot girl asks you to skip the day with her.
Like I'm gonna say no.
So throw me under the bus, just Iike that? Yeah.
Throw, push, shove And what if I decide to drag you down with me? I'd just yell for help.
Well, what if I did this? -I'd scream for help.
-And if I did this? -I'd beg for mercy.
-(CHUCKLES) (UPBEAT POP MUSIC) Mmm.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) -Honey, there's a Stiles here to see you.
-What the hell is a "Stiles"? She took a Iittle something to ease her nerves.
-You can You can go in.
-Thanks.
What are you doing here? I was just making sure you were okay.
Hmm.
Why? Uh (CHUCKLES) Because I was worried about you today.
How are you feeling? I feel fantastic.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Oh! What I bet you can't say, "I saw Suzy sittin' in a shoeshine shop" 10 times fast.
I saw Shuzy Uh I shaw (DRAMATIC MUSIC) I saw What? Lydia, what did you see? Something.
Something Iike Like a mountain Iion? A mountain Iion.
Are you sure you saw a mountain Iion, or are you just saying that because that's what the police told you? A mountain Iion.
What's this? A mountain Iion.
Okay.
-Mmm.
-You're so drunk.
(GASPS) ALLISON: Oh! SCOTT: You okay? (LAUGHS) Yeah.
I think you just earned your masculinity back.
(CHUCKLES) What are you doing? I'm just texting Lydia "Thank you" for the birthday stuff.
No.
If mine's off, yours is, too.
-So we're disconnecting from the world? -You can handle that for one day, right? Just this one text, and then I will be all yours, okay? Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES) Well, I'm gonna go.
Uh, I'II Iet you get back to the whole post-traumatic stress thing.
Mmm.
Stay.
Me? Stay? You want me to stay? Mmm-hmm.
(CHUCKLES) (PATS BED) Mmm-hmm.
Yes, please.
(EXHALES) Stay.
(BREATHES HEAVILY) PIease.
Jackson.
And we're done here.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES) You want me to get that? It's a text.
I don't know how to (DRAMATIC MUSIC) -He wants us to wait.
-So I've been reminded To death.
And that means we're not allowed to kill him.
But it doesn't mean we can't say "Hello.
" (RIFLE COCKS) (ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) -No one home? -Oh, he's here.
He's just not feeling particularly hospitable.
Maybe he's out burying a bone in the backyard.
Really? A dog joke? We're going there, and that's the best you got? If you wanna provoke him, say something Iike, "Too bad your sister 'bit it' before she had her first Iitter.
" Too bad she howled Iike a bitch when we cut her in half! (GROWLING) (THUD) (GROWLING) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (ZAPPING) (GROANING) -Wow.
-(BREATHING HEAVILY) This one grew up in all the right places.
I don't know whether to kill it or Iick it.
Hey, it's me again.
Look, I found something, and I don't know what to do, okay? So if you could turn your phone on right now, that'd be great.
Or else I'II kill you.
Do you understand me? I'm gonna kill you.
And I'm too upset to come up with a witty description about how exactly I'm gonna kill you, but I'm just gonna do it, okay? I'm gonna Ugh! Goodbye.
(SIGHING) -God.
-(KNOCKING ON DOOR) (GASPS) PIease tell me I'm gonna hear good news at this parent/teacher thing tonight.
Depends on how you define "Good news.
" I define it as you getting straight A's with no behavioral issues.
You might wanna rethink that definition.
Enough said.
(SIGHS) Come on, Scott.
Where the hell are you? (SIGHS) (WHlTE NlGHTSPLAYING) (INAUDIBLE) These dreams under mypillow In the twilight ofthese white nights These dreams under my pillow In the bright lights ofthese white nights Ofthese white nights Of these white nights Of these white nights (SIGHS) (SIGHING) (WEAPON ZAPPING) (GROANING) (ZAPPING) (GROWLS) (GROANING) (LAUGHING) Oh.
(SIGHS) You never were good with electricity, were you? Or fire.
(CHUCKLES) Which is why I'm gonna Iet you in on a Iittle secret.
And, well, maybe we can help each other out.
Yes, your sister was severed into pieces and used as bait to try to catch you.
Unpleasant, and frankly, a Iittle too Texas Chainsaw Massacrefor my taste, but quite true.
(CHUCKLES) Now, here's the part that might really kick you in your balls.
We didn't kill her.
You think I'm Iying? Wouldn't be the first time.
(CLICKS TONGUE) Sweetie Well, why don't you just Iisten to my heart and tell me if I am.
Okay? We (HEART BEATING) didn't kill your sister.
(HEART BEATING STEADILY) Do you hear that? There's no blips or upticks.
Just the steady beat of the cold, hard truth.
Found bite marks on your sister's body, Derek.
What do you think did that? A mountain Iion? Why aren't we helping each other out? You might as well admit what you've been guessing all along, which is, the AIpha killed your sister.
And all you have to do is tell us who he is, and we'II take care of it for you.
Problem solved, everybody goes home happy.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) Unless, you don't know who he is either.
(CHUCKLES) (LAUGHS) Wow.
Guess who just became totally useless? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (DOGS BARKING) Hey, Scott, it's me again.
I'm just calling to make sure that everything's okay.
You were supposed to be here an hour ago.
Maybe you forgot.
Well, whatever it is, just give me a call and Iet me know that everything's okay.
-AII right.
Thanks.
-(BELL JINGLES) Sheriff Stilinski.
Listen, I hate to bother you, but I'm having a bitch of a time getting a consensus -on what this is we're dealing with.
-(CHUCKLES) I'm really flattered you've come to me for help, but, Iike I said before, I'm no expert.
But you were pretty certain the other day about our attacker being a mountain Iion.
That's right.
I wanna show you something.
We got a Iittle Iucky here, the video store didn't have any cameras, but a security camera that was watching another parking Iot happened to grab a few frames.
Take a Iook at our mountain Iion.
Here's another.
DR.
DEATON: It's interesting.
Actually, this is the interesting one.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) I see what you mean.
I've never seen a mountain Iion do that.
Can't say I have either.
You've got a problem here.
My first instinct was it was a bear, but bears don't walk on two Iegs.
No, they drop to all fours.
Look, Iike I said, you really need an expert here.
Yeah, yeah, but Could this still be a mountain Iion? I'm sorry.
I've got a sick Doberman that needs my attention.
-No other ideas? -I'm sorry.
Really, I wish I could help you, but I've got a sick Yeah.
Dog.
I heard you.
Thanks for humoring me again.
(DOGS BARKING) (CHUCKLES) SCOTT: Oh (ENGINE STARTS) So being completely honest, this was kind of a perfect birthday.
Good.
I'd know if you were Iying anyway.
Oh, really.
You have a tell.
You touch your eyebrow right here.
Huh! Let's see if you can figure out if I'm Iying now.
Uh I wish that my parents weren't coming home from the teacher conferences.
So I could spend the rest of the day with you.
The rest of the day? Well, the rest of the night.
With me? (CHUCKLES) Oh, God.
The parent/teacher conferences! I'm supposed to be there.
I'm below "C" on, Iike, everything.
Well, they're going on now.
Right now.
Jackson's a highly motivated student.
In fact, I'd describe him as "Unusually driven.
" Yeah, we were hoping he might ease up on himself a Iittle.
He's always been real hard on himself.
It's just, you know, something we assumed was an effect ofhim being adopted.
ADRIAN: I think I understand.
He's never met his biological parents.
MR.
WHITTEMORE: Yeah, that's right.
It's the need to please, the overachieving, the desire to make someone proud Someone he's never even met.
ADRIAN: Something certainly seems to have recalibrated his desire for achievement several notches higher.
Not to be too blunt about it, but he seems almost obsessed.
Let me tell you, there's plenty to say about Lydia.
-(SCOFFS) Did I not predict this? -Here we go.
Total nuclear meltdown as usual.
MR.
MARTIN: What is it? Is it her grades, concentration issues, erratic behavior? I'm not the one who told her she had to choose who she wants to Iive with, as if that wouldn't warp a 16-year-old girl.
Just tell us what the problem is.
I wasn't aware that there was a problem.
Hmm.
Academically, Lydia 's one ofthe finest students I've ever had.
Her A.
P.
classes push her GPA above a 5.
0.
I'd actually like to have her l.
Q.
tested.
And socially, she displays outstanding leadership qualities.
I mean, she's a real leader.
Stiles, that's right.
I thought "Stiles" was his Iast name.
His Iast name is "Stilinski.
" You named your kid "Stiles Stilinski"? No, that's just what he Iikes to be called.
Oh.
Well, I Iike to be called "Cupcake.
" What is his first name? Wow, that's a form of child abuse.
I don't I don't even know how to pronounce that.
-It was his mother's father's name.
-(LAUGHS) Wow.
You must really Iove your wife.
Yeah, I did.
Well, this just became incredibly awkward.
Hey, what do you say we get to the conference part of this conference, Cupcake? I Iike your thinking.
(PAPERS RUSTLING) So, Stiles.
Great kid.
Zero ability to focus.
Super smart.
-Never takes advantage ofhis talents.
-How do you mean? Well, for his final question on his midterm exam, he detailed the entire history of the male circumcision.
Well, I mean, it does have historical significance, right? I mean I teach economics.
Ah, crap! Where the hell are you? Get to the school now.
How about we get started? Sure.
Lately Scott's mind has been somewhere else, as has his body.
Personally, I think it may have something to do with his home situation.
Oh, well, personally, I'm not sure what you mean by "home situation.
" Uh, specifically the Iack of an authority figure.
Yeah, I'm the authority figure, so Sorry.
AIIow me to clarify.
I mean the Iack of a male authority figure.
Oh.
Well, trust me, we're much better off without him in the picture.
Well, does Scott feel the same way? Yes.
I think so.
I hope so.
ADRIAN: But he's going through some difficult changes.
He just needs a little extra attention, a guiding hand through this crucial stage ofhis development.
FEMALE TEACHER: Allison Argent.
An incredibly sweet girl.
And quick to adjust, despite all the moving around.
We know it's hard on her, but, it's a necessary evil.
Necessary or not, I'd be prepared for some How do I put this? Rebelliousness? We appreciate the concern, but we have a great relationship with our daughter.
Very open and honest.
I'm happy to hear that.
And Iet her know that I hope she's feeling better.
Oh, she wasn't in class? Oh, she wasn't in school.
I checked with the office.
Scott, you need to call me right now.
Oh, my God.
Your mom? Yeah, I'm dead.
(GRUNTS) AIIison, answering your cell phone will make discussing the terms of your grounding much easier.
Well, call me back before your punishment reaches biblical proportions.
-Kate hasn't heard from her either.
-She doesn't do this.
Excuse me, you're not AIIison's parents, are you? I'm Scott's mom, and I hate to say it, but he's not answering his phone either.
You're his mother? Funny how you say that Iike it's an accusation.
Well, I wouldn't claim it as a source of pride, since he basically kidnapped my daughter today.
How do we know skipping school wasn't your daughter's idea? My daughter (CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (SIGHS) is right there.
Let's go.
Where exactly have you been? Nowhere, Mom.
Nowhere, meaning not at school.
-Kind of.
-It's not his fault.
-It's my birthday, and we were -CHRIS: AIIison.
In the car.
