- Stiles, what the hell - are you doing?
- You weren't - answering your phone.
Why do you have a bat?
I thought you were a predator.
A pre... (COUGHS)
- Look, I know it's late, - but you gotta hear this.
- I saw my dad - leave 20 minutes ago.
Dispatch called.
- They're bringing - in every officer
from the Beacon Department,
and even state police.
For what?
- Two joggers found - a body in the woods.
A dead body?
No, a body of water.
- Yes, dumb-ass, - a dead body.
- You mean like, murdered? - Nobody knows yet.
- Just that it was a girl, - probably in her 20s.
- Hold on, - if they found the body,
- then what are - they looking for?
That's the best part.
They only found half.
We're going.
We're seriously
doing this?
You're the one always
bitching that nothing
ever happens in this town.
- I was trying to get - a good night's sleep
before practice tomorrow.
Right,
'cause sitting on the bench
is such a grueling effort.
No, because I'm
playing this year.
- In fact, - I'm making first line.
Hey, that's the spirit.
- Everyone should have a dream, - even a pathetically
unrealistic one.
- Just out of curiosity, - which half of
the body are we looking for?
Huh!
- I didn't even - think about that.
(LAUGHS)
And, uh, what if
whoever killed the body
is still out here?
- Also something - I didn't think about.
- (PANTING) - It's comforting to know
you've planned this out
- with your usual - attention to detail.
I know.
Maybe the severe asthmatic
should be the one
holding the flashlight, huh?
(WHEEZING)
- Hey, come on! - Stiles!
(GASPS)
Wait up! Stiles!
Stiles!
(BARKING)
Hold it right there!
Hang on, hang on.
- This little delinquent - belongs to me.
(BARKING CONTINUES)
Dad, how are you doing?
- So, do you, uh, listen in - to all of my phone calls?
No.
Not the boring ones.
- Now, where's your - usual partner in crime?
Who, Scott?
Scott's home.
- He said he wanted to get - a good night's sleep for
- the first day back - at school tomorrow.
It's just me.
In the woods. Alone.
Scott, you out there?
(DISTANT THUNDER)
Scott?
(SIGHS)
Well, young man,
I'm gonna walk you
back to your car.
And you and I
- are gonna have a conversation - about something called

Okay, let's see this thing.
(GRUNTS)
Ooh!
Yeah. Whoa!
- It was too dark to see much, - but I'm pretty
sure it was a wolf.
- A wolf bit you? - Uh-huh.
No, not a chance.
I heard a wolf howling.
No, you didn't.
- What do you mean, - "No, I didn't"?
How do you know what I heard?
- (LAUGHS) Because California - doesn't have wolves, okay?
Not in like 60 years.
- Really? - Yes, really.
- There are no - wolves in California.
- All right, well, - if you don't believe me
about the wolf,
- then you're definitely - not gonna believe me
about when I tell you
I found the body.
Are you kidding me?
No, man, I wish.
- I'm gonna have - nightmares for a month.
- Oh, God, - that is freaking awesome.
- I mean, - this is seriously gonna be
the best thing
- that's happened to - this town since...
Since the birth
of Lydia Martin.
Hey, Lydia, you look...
- ...like you're - gonna ignore me.
- You're the cause - of this, you know.
Uh-huh.
- Dragging me down - to your nerd depths.
- I'm a nerd by association. - (BELL RINGING)
- I've been - scarlet nerded by you.
As you all know,
there indeed was a body
found in the woods last night.
And I am sure your
eager little minds
are coming up with
various macabre scenarios
as to what happened.
But I am here to tell you
that the police have
a suspect in custody,
which means
you can give your
undivided attention
to the syllabus
which is on your desk
outlining this semester.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Mom,
three calls on my first day
is a little overdoing it.
Everything except a pen.
- Oh, my God, I didn't - actually forget a pen.
- Okay, okay. - I gotta go. Love you.
(CALL DISCONNECTS)
Sorry to keep you waiting.
So you were saying
San Francisco isn't
where you grew up?
- ALLISON: No, but we lived - there for more than a year,
- which is unusual - in my family.
- PRINCIPAL: Well, hopefully - Beacon Hills will be your
last stop for a while.
(HEART BEATING)
- Class, - this is our new student,
Allison Argent.
- Please do your best - to make her feel welcome.
Thanks.
TEACHER: We'll begin
with Kafka's Metamorphosis
on page 133.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
That jacket is
absolutely killer.
Where'd you get it?
My mom was
a buyer for a boutique
back in San Francisco.
- And you are my - new best friend.
(LAUGHS) Hey, Jackson.
Can someone tell me
how new girl is here
all of five minutes,
- and she's already hanging out - with Lydia's clique?
Because she's hot.
- Beautiful - people herd together.
- So, this weekend, - there's a party.
ALLISON: A party?
JACKSON: Yeah.
Friday night.
You should come.
Uh, I can't.
It's family night this Friday.
Thanks for asking.
JACKSON: You sure?
I mean, everyone's going
after the scrimmage.
You mean like football?
Football's a joke in Beacon.
The sport here is lacrosse.
- We've won - the state championship
for the past three years.
- Because of - a certain team captain.
- JACKSON: Well, we have - practice in a few minutes.
- That is, - if you don't have
anywhere else...
- ALLISON: Well, - I was going to...
Perfect. You're coming.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
But if you play,
I'll have no one to
talk to on the bench.
- Are you really gonna do that - to your best friend?
- I can't sit out again. - My whole life is
sitting on the sidelines.
- This season, - I make first line.
- McCall! - Yeah.
You're on goal.
- I've never played. - I know.
- Scoring some shots - will give the boys
a confidence boost.
It's a first day back thing.
- Get them energized, - fired up!
What about me?
- Try not to take - any in the face.
Let's go! Come on!
Who is that?
Him? I'm not sure
who he is.
Why?
He's in my English class.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
(GRUNTING)
(WHISTLE CONTINUES)
(GRUNTS)
- BOY: (LAUGHING) - Hey, way to catch
with your face, McCall!
(GROANS)
Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!
(STUDENTS CHEERING)
- He seems like - he's pretty good.
Yeah, very good.
Oh, God.
(WHOOPING)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
That is my friend!
Whoo!
(ALL CHEERING)
I don't know what it was.
- It was like I had - all the time in the world
to catch the ball.
- And that's not - the only weird thing.
- I can hear stuff - I shouldn't be able to hear.
Smell things.
Smell things? Like what?
Like Mint Mojito
gum in your pocket.
- I don't even have - any Mint Mojito...
- So all this - started with the bite.
- What if it's - like an infection,
- like my body's - flooding with adrenaline
- before I go into - shock or something?
- You know what? - I actually think
I've heard of this.
- It's a specific - kind of infection.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's
called lycanthropy.
- What's that? - Is that bad?
- Oh, yeah, it's the worst. - But only once a month.
- Once a month? - Mmm-hmm.
- On the night - of the full moon.
(MIMICS HOWLING)
Hey, man.
- (LAUGHING) - Hey, you're the one
who heard a wolf howling.
- Hey, there could be something - seriously wrong with me.
- I know! - You're a werewolf!
(MIMICS GROWLING)
Okay, obviously
I'm kidding.
- But if you see - me in shop class
- trying to melt all - the silver I can find,
- it's 'cause - Friday's a full moon.
- No, I could have - sworn this was it.
- I saw the body, - the deer came running.
I dropped my inhaler.
- Maybe the killer - moved the body.
- If he did, - I hope he left my inhaler.
- Those things - are like 80 bucks.
Oh.
What are you doing here?
Huh?
This is private property.
- Uh, sorry, man, - we didn't know.
- Yeah, we were just looking - for something, but...
Uh, forget it.
- All right, come on, man, - I gotta get to work.
Dude, that was Derek Hale.
- You remember, right? - He's only like a few
years older than us.
Remember what?
His family.
- They all burned - to death in a fire,
like, 10 years ago.
- I wonder what - he's doing back.
(SCOFFS)
Come on.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(WOLVES HOWLING)
Hey, kitties.
(CATS SCREECHING)
(CAT HISSES)
(RAPPING ON GLASS)
- (SOBBING) - I didn't see it.
- I took my eyes - off the road for,
- like, two seconds to change - the song on my iPod,
and then this dog,
it just came out of nowhere!
- It's all right, - it's all right.
- Do you remember - where it happened
- so I can send - Animal Control to find it?
No! I mean, yes,
I know where I hit it,
but the dog is...
- Where is it? - It's in my car.
(BARKING AND GROWLING)
You okay?
She's just frightened.
That makes two of us.
- Let me see if I - have any better luck.
(BARKING)
(WHIMPERING)
I think her leg is broken.
- I've seen the doctor - do plenty of splints.
I can do it myself
and then give her
a painkiller for now.
- Yeah, I have a shirt - in my bag.
- Oh, I don't want - to trouble you.
Here.
(DOG WHIMPERING)
What?
I didn't see anything.
- Thanks for doing this. - I feel really stupid.
How come?
- I don't know. - 'Cause I freaked out
like a total girl.
You are a girl.
- I freaked out - like a girly girl,
and I'm not a girly girl.
What kind of girl are you?
Tougher than that.
- At least, - I thought I was.
- Hey, I'd be - freaked out, too.
In fact, I'd probably cry.
- And not like - a man, either.
- Like the biggest - girly girl ever.
(GIGGLES)
- It'd be pathetic. - Yeah, right.
(SIGHS)
So, it looks like
she's gonna live.
- And I'm pretty sure - she'll even let you
pet her now, if you want.
I don't think so.
- Oh, come on. - You don't want her to sue.
- I hear this breed - is very litigious.
You see?
She likes you.
What?
I don't know. Sorry.
- You have an eyelash - on your cheek.
Oh. It's from the crying.
Thanks.
Yeah.
So, um,
I was wondering...
I mean...
- Is it really - family night on Friday,
- or do you think maybe - you'd like to go to
that party with me?
- Family night - was a total lie.
- So is that a yes, - you'll go?
Definitely yes.
(FAINT RUSTLING)
(GROWLING)
(RASPY BREATHING)
(GASPING)
Good morning.
(ZIPPER ZIPS)
All right, little man.
- How about you tell me - where you're getting
your juice.
What?
Where are you
getting your juice?
- My mom does all - the grocery shopping.
Now, listen, McCall,
- you're gonna tell me - exactly what it is and
who you're buying it from,
- because there's - no way in hell
- you're out there - kicking ass on
the field like that
- without some sort - of chemical boost.
Oh, you mean steroids.
Are you on steroids?
- What the hell - is going on with you, McCall?
- What's going on with me? - You really wanna know?
Well, so would I!
- Because I can see, - hear and smell things
- that I shouldn't be able - to see, hear and smell.
- I do things that - should be impossible,
- I'm sleepwalking three miles - into the middle of the woods,
- and I'm pretty much convinced - that I'm totally out
of my freaking mind!
(SIGHS LOUDLY)
(CHUCKLES)
You think you're funny.
Don't you, McCall?
I know you're
hiding something.
I'm gonna find out what it is.
- I don't care - how long it takes.
(BANGS LOCKER)
(SIGHS)
Scott! Scott, wait up.
- Stiles, I'm playing - the first elimination, man.
Can it wait?
Just hold on, okay?
I overheard my
dad on the phone.
- The fiber analysis came back - from the lab in LA.
- They found animal - hairs on the body
from the woods!
- Stiles, I gotta go. - Wait, no! Scott!
- You're not gonna believe - what the animal was!
- It was a wolf. - (WHISTLE BLOWS)
Let's go! Gather round!
Bring it in, come on!
Come on!
Got a question, McCall?
- What? - You raised your hand.
- You have a question? - Oh, no. I was just, uh...
Nothing. Sorry.
Okay. You know
how this goes.
If you don't make the cut,
- you're most likely - sitting on the bench
for the rest of the season.
You make the cut, you play.
Your parents are proud.
Your girlfriend loves you!
Huh?
Everything else is, uh,
cream cheese.
- Now, get out there - and show me what you got!
Come on!
Let's go! Let's go!

- What in God's name - was that?
This is a lacrosse field.
- What, are you trying out - for the gymnastics team?
- No, Coach. - What the hell was that?
I don't know.
I was just trying
to make the shot.
- Yeah, well, you made the shot. - And guess what?
You're starting, buddy.
- You made first line. - (CROWD CHEERING)
Come on!
BOY: First line!
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(CLEARS THROAT)
- (SIGHS) Get in. - You gotta see this, dude.
- I've been up - all night reading.
- Websites, books. - All this information.
- How much Adderall - have you had today?
- A lot. Doesn't matter. - Okay, just listen.
- Is this about the body? - Did they find out who did it?
- No, they're still - questioning people,
even Derek Hale.
- Oh, the guy in the woods - that we saw the other day.
- Yeah! Yes. - But that's not it, okay?
What, then?
Remember the joke
from the other day?
Not a joke anymore.
- The wolf. - The bite in the woods.
- I started doing - all this reading.
- Do you even know - why a wolf howls?
- Should I? - It's a signal, okay?
- When a wolf's alone, - it howls to signal
its location
to the rest of the pack.
- So if you heard - a wolf howling,
- that means others - could have been nearby.
- Maybe even - a whole pack of them.
A whole pack of wolves?
No, werewolves.
- Are you seriously - wasting my time with this?
- You know I'm - picking up Allison
in an hour.
- I saw you on - the field today, Scott.
Okay, what you did
wasn't just amazing,
all right? It was impossible.
Yeah, so I made a good shot.
- No, you made - an incredible shot.
- I mean, the way you moved, - your speed,
your reflexes.
- People can't just suddenly - do that overnight.
- And there's - the vision and the senses,
- and don't even - think I don't notice
- that you don't need - your inhaler anymore.
- Okay! Dude, I can't - think about this now.
- We'll talk tomorrow. - Tomorrow? What? No!
- The full moon's tonight. - Don't you get it?
- What are you trying to do? - I just made first line.
- I got a date with a girl - who I can't believe
wants to go out with me.
- Everything in my - life is somehow perfect.
Why are you trying to ruin it?
I'm trying to help.
You're cursed, Scott.
- You know, - and it's not just the moon
- will cause you to - physically change.
- It also just so happens - to be when your bloodlust
will be at its peak.
Bloodlust?
Yeah, your urge to kill.
- I'm already starting to feel - an urge to kill, Stiles.
You gotta hear this.
- "The change can - be caused by anger
- "or anything that - raises your pulse."
- All right? - I haven't seen anyone
- raise your pulse - like Allison does.
- You gotta cancel this date. - I'm gonna call her right now.
- What are you doing? - I'm canceling the date.
No, give it to me!
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
I'm sorry.
- (STAMMERING) - I gotta go get ready
for that party.
I'm sorry.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
Mom!
- Is this a party - or a date?
Maybe both.
And her name is?
Allison.
Allison. Nice.
Thank you.
- We don't need to - have a talk, do we?
- Mom, I'm not having - the safe sex talk with you.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.
No, I meant about
keeping the tank full.
Give me those back.
Are you serious?
- You bet your ass - I am serious.
- I'm not gonna end up - on some reality
television show
- with a pregnant 16-year-old. - Come on!

- Go away. - STILES: Scott, it's me.
- Let me in, Scott. - I can help.
- No! Listen, - you gotta find Allison.
- She's fine, all right? - I saw her get
a ride from the party.
- She's... - She's totally fine.
All right?
- No, I think I know - who it is.
- Just let me in. - We can try...
- It's Derek. - Derek Hale is the werewolf.
He's the one that bit me.
- He's the one that killed - the girl in the woods.
Scott, Derek's
the one who drove
Allison from the party.
Scott!

- You have no idea who I am. - I'm a friend of
your daughter's.
Uh, look, this is gonna
sound kind of crazy, um,
really crazy, actually.
- You know what? - Crazy doesn't...
Allison! It's for you.
(RUSTLING)
Where is she?
- DEREK: She's safe. - From you.
(YELLS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
What did you
do with her?
Shh! Quiet.
- Too late. - They're already here. Run.
(SCREAMS)
(GROANING)
Take him.
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
Who were they?
Hunters.
- The kind who have been - hunting us for centuries.
Us? You mean you!
You did this to me!
Is it really so bad, Scott?
That you can see better,
- hear more clearly, - move faster than any human
could ever hope?
- You've been given - something that most
people would kill for.
The bite is a gift.
I don't want it.
You will.
And you're gonna
need me if you want to
learn how to control it.
So you and me, Scott,
we're brothers now.
- You know what actually - worries me the most?
- If you say Allison, - I'm gonna punch
you in the head.
She probably hates me now.
Ugh.
I doubt that.
But you might want
to come up with a
pretty amazing apology.
- Or, you know, you could - just tell her the truth
- and revel in the - awesomeness of the fact
- that you're - a fricking werewolf.
Okay, bad idea.
Hey, we'll get through this.
- Come on, if I have to, - I'll chain you up myself
on full moon nights
and feed you live mice.
I had a boa once.
I could do it.
(SCOFFS)
So, what happened?
You left me
stranded at the party.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm really sorry, I am.
But you're gonna have
to trust that I had
a really good reason.
Did you get sick?
- I definitely had - an attack of something.
- Am I gonna - get an explanation?
- Can you just find - it in your heart
to trust me on this one?
Am I gonna regret this?
Probably.
(LAUGHS)
- So is that a yes - on a second chance?
Definitely yes.
(CAR HORN HONKS)
That's my dad.
I better go.
