Bitten (2014) s03e09 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Bitten" Accept Elena as your new Alpha.
I do.
Together we can fix this.
How? It's not my father that needs to die.
There is no need to test me, Jeremy, I will not betray you.
This blood feud has cost us both dearly.
JEREMY: If you can get me close to Roman, I will see this through.
He's coming for us, the red-eyed wolf.
He tore my mother's throat out, like she was made from paper.
Nick! (SCREAMING) Katia! My brother and my father Elena save them.
This premonition, if that's what it is, makes me fear myself.
When will it stop? PAIGE: It won't stop.
Not until it happens.
It's not like a bad dream that you can just shake off.
It will happen.
A premonition is like a dream in this way: it's not literal.
It needs to be interpreted.
I'm going to cause the destruction of Stonehaven.
I burn it all down.
This house has a dark heart.
There is brutality here.
Despite everything that is good and worth fighting for, that heart still beats.
You know what it is.
The need to kill.
Wolves kill to eat.
Why do werewolves kill? To protect ourselves.
Is that why Jeremy killed that woman? Humans can't know about our secret.
It's our number one rule.
Is it really your rule? I'm one of them.
Not completely.
This has always been a society of men.
Roman, Jeremy, all of the Alphas.
They're fighting for power.
This is what men do.
You are not like them.
You are one of a kind.
The single most important.
You're the lone woman in their world.
You can see the cracks.
You can feel the brutality of it.
Maybe you're the flame.
Maybe you need to burn.
I want it all to change, but I don't know how to do that without death and destruction and violence and hurting the people that I love.
Elena, it doesn't have to be that way.
Change does not have to be cruel.
Then whose blood am I covered in? ( ) It'll be okay.
We're behind you all the way.
I don't know if the others will be.
That's why they're here.
We're going to find out where they stand.
If they're on board, the rest will fall in line.
What if this is the end? What if I the cause of the destruction of our Pack? That's not going to happen.
How do you know? Because Jeremy believes in you, and so do I.
Everybody's here.
Are you ready? Why did it have to be here? This is as good a place as any to bury your sister.
- She's so alone out here.
- Yeah.
She's with her mother now.
She should be with us.
Mom should be with us too.
It's because of you they aren't.
Alexei, please don't say that.
My heart is already broken.
- Then why didn't you protect them? - I tried.
I did everything I could to watch over you and your sister.
Katia looked after me.
She looked after me more than anyone else.
You know, taking that baby was crazy, but she did it for me, she did it for us.
- And you let her die.
- Alexei, please, Li listen, just listen to me, okay? You have gone through your first Change.
Your emotions, they are running wild, I know that.
But you need to learn to control them.
We have to stick together.
Yeah? You, me, Elena.
Elena! Elena! If you didn't come looking for her, Katia would still be alive! She'd be punching my arm.
She'd be calling me a jerk with that stupid look on her face.
She'd sing for me - Alexei, I'm sorry - No, no more.
I'm going to kill that red-eyed wolf, and Roman.
I'm going to kill all of them if I have to! You can't kill everything.
That's not the answer.
You don't have the answers.
I'm going to find my own.
( ) Have you heard anything? No.
Konstantin hasn't called and Jeremy's cellphone has died.
We don't know what's going on.
I fear that trusting Konstantin was a mistake.
It's a risk, but he wants his father gone as much as we do.
Jeremy and Konstantin could be dead by now.
HAIGHT: Which means we're next.
Without an Alpha, they'll hunt us down, one by one.
We have an Alpha.
Jeremy stepped down.
Elena has control of the Pack.
Anyone has the right to challenge.
You do it now or you follow.
No.
No more.
We're not going to blindly follow an Alpha, me or anyone else.
Look around you.
These shelves are filled with that mistake: wolves killed for not following.
Bloodlines recorded like royalty.
A whole history of suffering and pain.
For what? This isn't how we protect our kind.
This gang mentality, it stops today, right now.
You can go, or you stay and fight with us but not because of Pack Law.
We're more than just wolves.
We're humans.
We can feel each other's pain and we can share our happiness.
We can love and we can be loved.
That's our bond.
No more Packs.
We are a found family.
If you choose to stay, I won't demand your loyalty.
I'll promise you mine.
You are my Alpha.
You are my Alpha.
Well, I always wanted a family.
You're my Alpha.
Where do you need me? Well, for starters, we have to bring Jeremy back to us.
(BIRDS CHIRPING) (CHAIN JINGLING) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) What was your plan, Danvers? Were you going to sneak in and assassinate me? By yourself? I always knew you to be arrogant, but not a fool.
All of this bloodshed needs to end, one way or another.
You thought to end it with my blood? I am an Alpha.
Killing me is no small matter.
You would have to answer to the Alpha Council.
What then? This is my territory.
You are harbouring a Russian Mutt.
- A traitor.
- You had my people killed.
And I have the right to do with you as I see fit.
Mm, maybe so but they won't hear your side.
Escobado was right.
You will be forgotten in death.
We both will.
And what are you going to say to the Alpha Council? You arrived here with an army of your men.
It was an invasion.
And the rest of them will begin to worry, "What if I'm next?" How long do you think it will take before they want your head? We have the largest Pack.
What could they do to us? Your Pack has money troubles.
What are they going to think when they realize that you have spent it all, that you sacrificed them for a personal vendetta? Enough.
I have only one decision to make: what is the best way for you to die? ( ) (BIRDS CHIRPING) (SIGH, SNIFFLE) (DEEP SIGH) Katia never liked the forest.
She always wanted to live in a city, surrounded by people.
I couldn't give that to her.
Hey.
(HEAVY SIGH) I wish I could've known her better.
When she was small, she would draw these pictures of herself, and always, in these pictures, she would have one arm up in the air.
I asked her, I said, "Katia, who are you waving to?" And she would say to me, "I'm not waving, Papa, I'm waiting for you to hold my hand.
" My darling girl.
You did what you could.
It's not your fault.
I didn't do enough.
My children are the best parts of me and you all deserve better than me.
(SIGH) You and Alexei you're all I have left in this world.
I couldn't bear to lose either one of you.
I'm going to take Alexei away from all this.
We will disappear.
I want you to come with us.
- I can't.
- Bring Clay and start your own family.
Save yourself from all this madness.
Leave it behind before it destroys you.
They're my family as much as you are.
(DISTANT RUSTLING) - (TWIG SNAPPING) - (GASP) ( ) What are you doing? He will feel every stroke - for what he has done.
- Wait.
You will get your revenge, but Danvers was right.
We must think ahead.
If the other Alphas move against us, we will not have the men to take them on and we will not have the money to keep our Pack going.
There is much to plunder right here.
Stop with this dancing around, Konstantin.
I don't have the patience for it.
Danvers is not going anywhere.
We have time to make sure he takes the blame for everything, before you kill him.
I'm listening.
Make him admit it.
Make it plain for all to see.
He knows he will not get out of here alive.
No amount of torture will bring him to heel.
You will not need torture.
Offer him something he wants more than life.
(SIGH) ( ) ( ) This has gone on long enough.
Jeremy, I got you into Roman's stronghold, as I promised.
You are still in one piece.
And Roman will not kill you.
Not yet.
This is not our agreement.
I have a pretence in place I am not interested in playing games anymore, Konstantin.
Unleash me now.
I told Elena I would bring you back to Stonehaven and I will.
I just need time to get these men out of here.
Neither of us wants war and I cannot have anyone know I helped you.
Especially not if you would like to become Alpha without challenge.
Then you understand.
Hmm.
There is only one way we all win.
Keep him occupied.
My trust has limits.
Yes, but you're locked up and I am your only friend in here.
If I die, it does not necessarily mean that Roman will not find out what you've done.
You will get your revenge, Jeremy, and you will save both your Pack and mine.
( ) ( ) He's gone to the north.
There's a clear scent in that direction.
No, it's the east.
I'm sure of it.
Elena, it can't be both.
- Do you have your phone? - Yeah.
Set your GPS.
- (PHONE BEEP) - Elena? ELENA: (ON PHONE) Nick, the Albino's here.
Say that again, Elena.
The Albino's at Stonehaven.
Sasha and I are tracking him in the woods.
Where are you right now? Nick can track our phones.
NICK: (ON PHONE) Give me one second.
- Okay, I have you.
- All right, stay put.
We are on our way.
The Albino's on the move.
We have to get eyes on him, take him down.
It's going to take all of us.
Don't do anything until we get there.
We can't wait.
He is alone out here.
This is our best chance.
We split up.
You find him, you signal.
Nothing more, okay? (TRACKING BEEPS) What are you doing? ( ) ( ) (LIQUID DRIPPING ONTO METAL) ( ) Nick, the Albino set a decoy to the east.
I've been following the scent of blood.
My father's on the real trail.
( ) - (TRIGGER SNAPPING) - Ah! (GRUNTING) ( ) Elena! Okay, Clay and Alexei are on their way to you now.
Tell them to go north.
Where's Sasha? NICK: He's northwest of you, about 600 or 700 yards.
Is he moving? No, he's in one spot.
He must have found him.
I'm on my way.
I just lost his signal.
Elena, do you hear me? Elena.
(GRUNT OF PAIN) ELENA'S VOICE: (RECORDING) You've almost reached Elena Michaels.
Leave a message.
We're here.
There isn't any sign of her.
NICK: (ON PHONE) Elena said he was using a decoy.
Both of their phones went out at the same time.
T-that's impossible.
The Albino can't be in two places at once.
I don't think he's working alone, Clay.
What They would've smelled any other werewolves out here.
There's only his scent.
- He was hiding in here.
- Goddammit.
We have to find out where he's taken them.
( ) (CHILD'S VOICE SINGING "TILI TILI BOM" IN RUSSIAN) ( ) Tell me something.
Why are you here? I am here to make you pay for your sins, Roman.
You could have sent anyone, but here you are an Alpha all alone.
This is personal for me.
Oh, it is personal for me, but why is it for you? Do you remember that woman you stabbed? The one with the gun.
What about her? I had to kill her.
So? What does it matter? She was a nosy human.
You are here because I inconvenienced you? She was a good person.
And you and your blood feud created a series of events that led to her death.
Her blood is on your hands.
What did you once say to me? I was taking control of the situation.
She didn't deserve to die.
You do.
I don't believe you.
Maybe you knew this woman, maybe your heart bleeds for her, but that is not why you're here.
You are really here for another woman: Elena Michaels.
Or should I say, Antonov.
Did you think I wouldn't find out? You don't intimidate me, Roman.
I don't care to intimidate you.
I'm not like you.
I'm not going to make big speeches and try to teach a lesson.
You are going to die today.
And what do you want? A full confession.
What am I confessing to? How you conspired with Sasha Antonov to lure me to North America to kill me, to take control of the Russian territory.
(CHUCKLING) I don't think anyone's going to believe that, Roman.
Then you're going to have to be convincing.
You see what you did there? You opened with a request.
That's a sign of weakness.
See, you want me to implicate myself, so that you can justify yourself to the Council after you kill me.
Because you're afraid, aren't you? You showed me your throat.
I didn't even have to raise a finger and already I'm in control.
You're not a very good negotiator, are you, Roman? Who told you this was a negotiation? You will make a confession, you will do it with gusto, and then you will beg me to kill you.
The louder the threat, the weaker the action.
Do you know what all great leaders have? It is what I have.
A tactical advantage, a secret weapon.
You have not met my secret weapon, Danvers, and for that you should thank me.
He is unstoppable.
ROMAN: Katia Antonov is already dead.
Yes, my Albino is a perfect killer.
I give him a name and they are dead, without question.
The only ones who have managed to slip away from him are the Antonovs.
Until now.
He drained that girl on the side of the road like a cow to slaughter while your Nick watched.
You should be thankful I didn't think to add his name to the list.
She was just an innocent girl.
Bah! She connived, just like her father.
Whose baby did she take? The baby werewolf with magical powers.
It doesn't matter.
The baby will be mine.
As it should be.
As the rule demands.
I am not so squeamish as you are about killing humans.
You're a madman, but not an Alpha.
And the Council will see that you are a danger to our kind.
N no.
When you make your confession, all they will think is that, uh I was defending myself against your aggression.
I will give you nothing.
Do you hear me? Nothing.
We shall see.
(SIGH) ( ) ROMAN: Sasha is mine but once you've confessed, Elena will be taken off the list.
You have one minute to decide.
( ) ( ) (WHISPERING) Sasha.
Sasha, wake up.
(ECHOING WHEEL SQUEAKS) (METAL WHEELS SQUEAKING) ( ) (SOFT GRUNT) Sasha Antonov.
This is my third notebook.
You have been in all three.
I congratulate you for surviving this long.
You have my respect.
Let her go.
Who, her? This is not possible.
She would have been tssssk! finished many times already, but Navikev has a special request for her.
And for you.
I don't take requests, but this one interests me: how to design this so it works.
I enjoy the challenge.
(GRUNT) - Ah, ah, ah! - (GRUNT OF EFFORT) Not a good idea.
This is very bad for you.
Trust me on this, yes? Elena, are you okay? I'm fine.
Yes.
Very good.
Everyone is okay.
Now I will bring in a few more things, then we begin.
Hmm? (VIDEO CALL RINGING CHIME) (GASP OF PAIN) (BEEP) Jeremy! Are you okay? Nick, I have something to tell you.
Please, don't interrupt me, just listen.
Don't say anything until I'm done.
O-okay.
I first met with Sasha Antonov over a year ago.
That is when we first came up with our plan to take over the Russian Pack.
What are you talking about? Nick, listen.
This was my idea and my idea alone.
It's why I started to bring more members into the Pack.
It's why I sent Marsten to spy on the Russians.
It is why I lured Roman Navikev to Bear Valley to kill him and install Sasha as the new Alpha in Russia.
He was going to be our puppet.
Jeremy, they can't get away with this Nick I need you to hear me and take note.
Can you do that? (GRUNT OF EFFORT) Elena knew nothing of this.
She was right to be suspicious of me, while I stitched it together.
I did not want her pulling at the threads of my plan.
She was always right.
I can see that now.
Please tell her that.
We lost so many loved ones, and friends.
We were the cause of so much death.
The bloodshed and the violence I became addicted to that and I became a monster too.
I finally became my father's son.
And this is my fault.
All of it.
And it's my shame too.
Elena.
I can see her now.
She gave us such a gift, Nick.
When she came into our family, she made us all better men.
She made us whole.
I should've listened.
(SIGH) Would you please tell her that I am sorry for that.
(SMALL SOB) Nick, I love you all.
Not perfect, but it will do.
(CAR DOORS OPENING) Well, they're all leaving.
You sound disappointed.
Well I could've left my ass-kicking boots at home.
It was clever of you to ensure Elena is not to blame.
You'll release her now? She is like a daughter to you.
And for that alone, you have my envy.
I was only close to my daughter was when I strangled her to death.
I didn't have a chance to love her.
Because of him.
(OBJECT SCRAPING) How are we to balance those scales? It is not enough to kill her, is it? Your word will mean nothing, Roman.
Oh, don't appeal to honour now.
It is too late for that.
You murdered his daughter.
The scales are balanced.
No.
Not in the least.
Can you move anything? No.
We have to do something to get out of here.
We are in the jaws of the red-eyed wolf.
We won't get out.
It doesn't mean that you stop.
I love you, Elena.
ALBINO: Did you know the Nazis experimented with ways of killing quickly without wasting bullets? They found that Phenol was the quickest.
This is Phenol.
SASHA: (PANICKED BREATHS) No no - ALBINO: Open your fingers.
- Wh ALBINO: Open, open, open.
Sh-sh.
Yeah? Now, you open the pliers and Phenol goes into her arm, and boom, instant unconscious.
She is dead in one minute.
Very painless, yes? I'm not going to kill my daughter.
ALBINO: No.
This is what Navikev wants.
- (PANTING) - Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
Okay, okay, okay, I got yeah (PANTING) Roman.
Roman, don't do this.
Call him off.
30 years.
Every day, remembering how the light went out of my daughter's eyes.
He will feel it.
Every day of it in this moment.
And so will you.
It is curious to me: why only one woman werewolf? They said it was because women couldn't take the pain of the Change, but this makes no sense to me.
Women can take much more pain than men.
(CHUCKLING) Maybe this is sexist attitude.
- You think? - I'm used to it.
Ah, there, you see? Always, they put up with this.
I don't know why.
(GRUNTING IN FEAR) - Shh.
- (GRUNTING, GROANING) SASHA: Stop, please, stop this now! Elena! No! You want to let go of the pliers? Never.
Ah, don't say this.
I wonder if pain can kill you.
Just pain.
Nothing else.
- (GROANING) - Ehh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no moving, no moving.
(GRUNTING IN PAIN) Yeah.
ELENA: (GRUNTING) Yeah.
That's very good.
Yeah.
So now I think, "What is the worst pain? The most pain? "More than a man can take.
Even more than a woman can take.
" Cautery wire.
Burn, burn, burn.
It's very hot.
There.
This wire is now where nerves connect to uterus, do you understand? Huh? (WHIMPER) This is where I control the heat.
Hmm.
I can make this 1000 times worse than childbirth.
(PANTING) Back to my question.
Can you die from pain, nothing else? Do we see how much pain to kill or you let go of pliers? She can die very slowly or very fast.
It's your choice.
Roman, call him off.
I'll give you whatever you want! You are giving me everything I want: (FRUSTRATED YELL) an Alpha begging at my feet! Helpless.
Are the pliers slippery? Just let go.
Don't let go.
Whatever happens, please don't let go.
Elena, I can't let this happen.
- I can't.
- Last chance.
Please don't let go, okay? We'll get through this together, you and me.
Elena, I can't! I'm waiting to hold your hand.
- (MACHINE HUMMING) - (PIERCING SCREAM) (SOBBING) (SOMBRE MUSIC) (DOOR OPENING) Where are the men? Get them in here! (STRUGGLING GRUNTS) They are not coming.
They are loyal to me now.
My own son.
You will die for this! Traitor! (CLATTERING) No one is here to help you, father.
This is your fate, alone and unloved.
I don't need your love.
It is worthless.
(CUFFS CLATTERING) (STRUGGLING GRUNTS) ( ) BOTH: (GROWLING) ( ) ( ) (AGONIZING SCREAMS) Magnificent.
(SCREAMING STOPS) ( ) - Ugh! - (CURRENT POWERING DOWN) ( ) ALEXEI: Dad! (GRUNTING, PANTING) Good! I can complete my list today.
Tomorrow I find Clay Danvers.
Well, he's right behind you.
(SNARLING) (GRUNT, GASP) (CRUNCHING, SQUISHING) (PANTING) Alexei.
Go get Elena.
(CRUNCHING, SNARLING CONTINUES) ( ) Hey, darlin'.
(PANTING) HAIGHT: Can you feel the morphine kicking in? Will she be all right? You'll need some time to heal.
Elena, you can't Change for a little while, okay? You'd risk tearing your uterine wall.
The internal bleeding could kill you.
ELENA: You didn't let go.
Neither did you.
Let's get you back to Stonehaven.
Jeremy? He'll meet us there.
Roman's dead.
It's over.
The others should be here soon.
Our Packs are bonded now.
Everything is as it should be.
My brothers this is the man who killed your Alpha.
Now we can exact our revenge.
