- Stiles, get out - of there right now.
- It's him! - He's the Alpha! Get out!
- NARRATOR: - Previously on Teen Wolf...
You must be Stiles.
- That night in the school, - I felt utterly weak.
- I want to feel - stronger than that.
- I think I can give you - exactly what you want.
- I know what - you are, McCall.
What?
However it is you came to
be what you are, you're
gonna get it for me, too.
Are you breaking up with me?
- In preparation for - some big changes,
- I've decided to drop - some of the dead
weight in my life.
- Every choice that I made, - everything I did,
every single thing was
to make sure that she
was safe.
(CROWD CHEERING)
ALL: (CHANTING)
State! State! State!
- STUDENT: Yes! - Stiles.
SCOTT: Stiles! Stiles!
Has anyone seen Stiles?
- Stiles! - Has anyone seen Stiles?
State! State! State!
(CHANTING CONTINUES)
(GIGGLING)
You were pretty
awesome out there.
- Thanks. - You, too.
I mean, that's
not what I meant.
- No, no, I did some - pretty awesome cheering.
You can thank me.
You did?
Totally. I went from,
"Go, team, go," to "Defense,
defense" without a breath.
I brought my A-game.
State! State! State!
State! State!
State! State! State!
State! State!
(CHANTING CONTINUES)
Oh, isn't that
just heartbreaking?
- Gosh, I bet it causes - a lot of sleepless nights.
- You know what, - though, McCall?
I actually sympathize,
which is why I'm gonna make
this mutually beneficial.
You give me what I want,
- and I'll help - you get her back.
What?
- Well, three days makes - it just in time for
the winter formal.
Uh, think about
you taking her
instead of me.
- And also think about all - the things you're able
to do to get her out
- of some tight little - dress by the end of
the night.
- See how this could - work out for everybody?
Three days, McCall.
Have fun.
DANNY:
By the way, McCall,
apology accepted.
I didn't apologize.
- Every time you got - the ball tonight,
you passed it to me.
- Every time I passed the - ball to you, you scored.
Apology accepted.
Danny?
What the hell?
(GASPING)
- Thank God! - Where the hell
have you been?
- Do you have any idea - what's been going on?
I really don't get lacrosse.
It was you.
- When I was in high school, - we played basketball.
There's a real sport.
- Still, I read somewhere - that lacrosse comes from
Native American tribes
- and that they played - it to resolve conflict.
Do I have that right?
- I have a little conflict - of my own to resolve, Scott.
- But I need your - help to do it.
I'm not helping
you kill people.
- Well, I don't want - to kill all of them.
Just the responsible
ones. And that doesn't
have to include...
Allison.
You're on his side?
Are you forgetting
the part where he
killed your sister?
It was a mistake.
What?
It happens.
PETER: Scott.
I think you're getting
the wrong impression of us.
We really just want
to help you reach
your full potential.
By killing my friends.
Sometimes the people
closest to you
can be the ones
holding you back
the most.
- If they're holding - me back from
- becoming a psychotic - nut job like you,
I'm okay with that.
Maybe you could try
and see things
from my perspective.
(GROANING)
(BREATHING RAGGEDLY)
(VOICES SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING)
Peter?
(GASPING)
Dude, we have
a huge problem.
Trust me, I know.
- CHRIS: It hasn't been an - issue since we lived here.
- KATE: All I'm saying - is that firing those
things so close by
is bound to draw
some attention.
- CHRIS: - These things have saved
my life more than once,
and I know how to
be inconspicuous
when I need to.
KATE: This coming from
a man whose preferred
weapon is a crossbow.
- You know, these extra skills - are something you could
be teaching your daughter.
Not yet.
Ever?
CHRIS: Not yet.
CHRIS: You coming?
Yeah. Coming.
(GARAGE DOOR CLOSING)
(ENGINE REVVING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(BEEPING)
(HORN HONKING)
Car trouble?
Allison, when you said you
needed to stop for an errand
before we went shopping,
a five-mile hike
in the woods was not
what I was expecting.
ALLISON: Before I forget,
I wanted to ask if you're
okay with something.
- Jackson asked me to - the winter formal.
Did he?
Yeah.
Just as friends. But I just
wanted to make sure you're
okay with it first.
Sure. As long as
it's just friends.
Well, yeah, I mean,
it's not like I would take
him to the coach's office
during lacrosse
practice to make out
with him or anything.
About that...
- Oh, no, it's okay. - I'm just gonna
call a tow truck.
I know a few things
about cars. Might
be something simple.
I don't know.
I mean, it's a
pretty expensive car,
- and they pull all this - warranty crap if you do
your own repairs, right?
Well, I won't
tell if you won't.
It's Jackson, right?
Come here. I'll show
you what to look for.
Oh, sorry.
What?
Your neck.
You hurt yourself?
Um... No. I mean,
it's just a scratch.
- Well, it looks like - more than a scratch.
- Kind of looks - like claw marks.
You all right?
- Yeah. Look, I'm just - gonna call for a tow
truck, okay?
- Is there any reason you're - so reluctant to tell me
what it was that did that?
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(BRAKES SQUEALING)
Yo.
What's up?
Is everything okay?
Hey, Scott.
- Your friend here - was having car trouble.
We're just taking a look.
Wow.
There's a shop
right down the street.
- I'm sure they - have a tow truck.
Yeah. You want a ride?
Hey, come on, Jackson.
You're way too pretty to
be out here all by yourself.
Hey, boys.
- Told you I knew a - few things about cars.
- What, are you - following me now?
- Yes, you stupid - freaking idiot.
- You almost gave away - everything right there!
What are you talking about?
- He thinks you're - the second Beta.
What?
He thinks you're me!
Dude, my jeep.
- I can hear your heart - beating from a mile
away, literally!
- Now he thinks that - there's something wrong,
- and now I have to keep - an eye on you so he
doesn't kill you, too!
- (YELLING) - Okay, okay, okay.
- How about we just - step away from
Stiles' jeep?
- You know what, this - is your problem, not
mine, okay?
- I didn't say anything, which - means you're the one that's
gonna get me killed, okay?
- This is your fault. - Can we stop
hitting my jeep?
- Yo, all right, - yo, guys, stop.
All right?
When they come after
you, I won't be able
to protect you.
I can't protect anyone.
Why are you looking at me?
- You know what? - Now you have to do it.
Get me what I want,
and I will be fine
protecting myself.
No, you won't!
Just trust me,
all it does is
make things worse.
Oh, yeah, really?
- You can hear anything - you want and run faster
than humanly possible.
- Sounds like a real - hardship, McCall.
Yeah, I can run
really fast now,
except half the time,
I'm running away from
people trying to kill me!
- And I can - hear things like...
- Like my girlfriend - telling people that she
doesn't trust me anymore
- right before - breaking up with me.
I'm not lying to you!
It ruins your life.
It ruined your life.
You had all the power in
the world and you didn't
know what to do with it.
- You know what - it's actually like?
- It's like you turned - 16 and someone bought
you a Porsche
- when they should have - started you out with
a nice little Honda.
Me?
I drive a Porsche.
What does that do?
We're about to find out.
What the hell was that?
I don't know.
Well, that was fun!
- Any more lethal weapons - you wanna try out?
Hold this.
- What? Why? - Because I thought
I heard something.
- So what if you - heard something?
- So, I want to find out - what that something is.
- Don't worry. - It's probably nothing.
Well, what if that nothing is
something and that something
is something dangerous?
Shoot it.
(WHIMPERING)
Scott?
(CONVULSING)
Scott!
Trigger finger!
Oh, God, oh, God.
I'm so, so, so, so sorry.
No, it's my fault.
Totally my fault.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
- I didn't know it was you. - If I would have known
it was you...
- Still would have - pulled the trigger?
No! Of course not.
Seriously, I'm so sorry.
(SCOTT GROANING)
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah. I think so.
- What were you - doing here anyway?
Were you following us?
No. Not at all.
Your dad told me
that you run this
trail sometimes.
I was hoping to
catch you alone.
By following me?
Well, yeah.
What for?
I found this at school.
Thank God!
- I was beginning to - think it was stolen.
No. No, just lost.
Definitely not
stolen by anyone.
(LAUGHING) Well,
thank you for finding it.
And for bringing it.
You don't think I'm
a total stalker now,
do you?
No. I just think you're weird.
Like you always are.
(CHUCKLING)
What you doing?
- Work. - Anything I can help with?
You know, if you poured
me an ounce of whiskey,
that would be awfully nice.
Any leads?
Hey!
- You know I can't - discuss that with you.
Not too much.
Okay.
There you go, Dad.
Thanks.
Bottoms up.
You know, Derek Hale
would be a whole
hale of a lot...
A hale of a lot...
Hell of a lot?
Hell.
Yes.
He would be a hell of
a lot easier to catch
- if we could get an - actual picture of him.
- How do you not have - a picture of him?
- It's the weirdest thing. - It's like every time we
try to get a mug shot,
it was like two laser
beams were pointing
at the camera.
Nice.
Oh, my God.
God, that ounce
hit me like a brick.
- And I have said way too - much, and if you repeat
any of that...
- Dad, it's me. - I'm not gonna say anything.
Come on.
- See, the thing is - they're all connected.
- I mean, the bus - driver that got killed,
he was an insurance
investigator assigned
to the Hale house fire.
- "Terminated under - suspicion of fraud."
Exactly.
Who else?
- STILINSKI: - The video store clerk
who got his throat slashed,
- he's a convicted felon, - history of arson.
- What about the other - two guys, the guys who
got killed in the woods?
- Priors all over - their records, including...
Arson.
- So maybe they all - had something to
do with the fire.
- Another shot? - No, no, no, no more.
- Dad, come on. - You work really hard,
right? You deserve it.
Oh, my God,
I'm gonna have
such a hangover.
You mean you're
gonna have such
a good night's sleep.
- (WHISPERING) - I'm gonna have an eternity
in the lowest circle of hell.
- MAN: (ON PHONE) - Scott, I noticed you didn't
hand in your paper today.
If you need an extension,
- the best I can do - is another 48 hours.
God damn it.
Son of a...
(DOOR KNOCKING)
Not now, Mom.
- (KNOCKING CONTINUES) - I said not now.
- Sorry. - Your mom let me in.
Can we talk?
(SIGHING)
Stiles, there's
just so many questions.
Like what?
Like if Derek wanted
to kill everyone
involved with the fire,
- then why start - with his sister?
- I mean, she had - nothing to do with it.
- And why make it look like - some kind of animal did it?
- When that cougar ended - up in the parking lot,
I checked with animal control.
You know the instances
of wild animal reports
were up 70% over
the past few months?
- It's like they're - just going crazy,
- running out of the woods. - I don't know.
- Or something's - scaring them out.
- You know, - I miss talking to you.
- It's like we - never have time...
- Dad, you know what, - I have to make a phone call.
- I'm sorry. - I'll be right back.
I do. I miss it.
And I miss your mom.
What'd you say?
Thanks.
- Do you want me to - say something first?
- No. - Okay.
- Do you want me - to leave you alone
for a few minutes?
Why would I want that?
I don't know.
It's just that, um, you
came in here and said
that you wanted to talk,
- and we've been sitting - here for like 10 minutes
- and you haven't said - anything yet, and it's
starting to freak me out.
- Sorry. - It's a little hard to start.
- This is going to - sound really ridiculous.
And I guess I just...
I don't want you
to laugh at me.
I would never laugh at you.
(SIGHING)
- It's about my family. - Okay.
- A little while ago, - I caught them in a lie.
A small one.
When my aunt first arrived,
she had car trouble,
and my dad said it was a
flat tire, but she said
she needed a jump start.
Maybe it was just a
little miscommunication.
- Yeah. That's - what I thought, too.
And then I found glass on
her car like her window
had been smashed in.
- I've been overhearing - some really strange
conversations.
- I think some of it - has to do with Derek.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
I think that he's not...
- Hey, Scott, - I'm coming home late tonight.
What? What...
What's wrong?
- Is it... - Is it my hair? Makeup?
No. No, nothing.
You look beautiful.
You look amazing.
SCOTT: Amazing.
Why do you look amazing?
Because, amazingly,
I'm having dinner
for once
with a member of the
male gender who's
over the age of 16.
Who?
It's a medical rep
that came into the
hospital today.
- Yeah, we just kind - of started talking,
- and the next thing I know - I'm saying yes to dinner,
and I'm really hating
myself for skipping
the gym last week.
What medical rep?
(DOORBELL RINGING)
That medical rep.
And I'm not...
I'm not ready.
- I'm not done, - I'm not ready, so if you
could please just get the...
- Get the door and - talk with him, okay?
Just...
Be nice.
Just one minute, okay?
(DOORBELL RINGING)
- MELISSA: - Scott! Get the door.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
- MELISSA: Scott! - For the love of God, please!
MELISSA: Hey.
What are you doing?
- Aren't you gonna - invite him in?
Hello there.
- Really? - Slam the door in my face?
Come on, Scott.
- Take a second to - think that through.
I'll tell her.
That I used to be a
catatonic invalid with
burns covering half my face?
Good luck with that.
- If you hurt her, - if you even touch her...
- Scott, if I may - interrupt your listing
- of the top five most - impotent-sounding
threats for a moment,
try and remember
that I've been in
a coma for six years.
- Don't you think I'd like - to have dinner with a
beautiful woman?
- MELISSA: Just... - Just half a second.
Sorry.
Or maybe
- you think that I've - come up with an idea.
Like how it might be
easier to convince you
to be part of the pack
if your mother is, too.
You need to understand
how much more powerful
we are together,
you and me and Derek.
Did you know that some
of the most successful
military operations
during the Second World War
were the German U-boat
attacks?
- Do you know what - they called them?
Wolf packs.
Did you know that?
- Or are you failing - history as well?
- I know the Germans - lost the war.
I think you'll find
that most historians
would argue that
as a failure of leadership.
And trust me,
we don't have
that problem here.
- I'm ready, I'm ready. - Sorry again.
Oh.
Mom...
Yes, sweetheart?
Have a good time.
Okay.
(HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(GRUNTING)
(MUSIC STOPPING)
What the hell?
Hey.
I like your taste in music.
I haven't heard this
one in a long time.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
I'm not scared of you.
Come on.
I'm not afraid.
Yeah. You are.
You know, I bet you
haven't had a day
in your whole life
- where you haven't been - afraid of something.
- But you won't - have to be anymore.
- Not when you're - one of us.
If you just stay,
I swear I'll be right back.
I just... I just have to...
I wouldn't be doing this
if it wasn't totally,
incredibly important.
- It's all right. - No, no, no.
I wanna talk to you.
- There's actually nothing - I want to do more right now.
- Can you please stay? - Please? I'll be right back.
Thank you.
Everything okay?
I don't know.
- I just feel like we - maybe missed the turn
for the restaurant?
Hmm.
- Well, I'll pull over. - We can map it on your phone.
Okay.
(CHUCKLING)
What?
I was just noticing
that you have the
most incredible skin.
It's flawless.
That's a new one on me.
Do you mind?
Oh...
Sorry.
- (CAR JOLTING) - (MELISSA EXCLAIMING)
- Aww, are you kidding me? - Stiles!
Mrs. McCall?
Yes!
Wow, this is...
This is just crazy.
What a coincidence, huh?
Nicely done, Scott.
PETER: Nicely done.
- I mean, I do not know - what happened. You guys
just came out of nowhere.
Came out of nowhere?
We were parked on the
side of the road, Stiles.
How crazy is that?
- We should probably call - the cops, do like an
accident report thing.
I don't think
that's necessary.
Are you sure?
I think I'm feeling
a little whiplash.
Whiplash? You hit us!
- I don't know, there's - something definitely
wrong with my neck.
- I know you're there, - Scott, and I'm impressed.
- It's too bad most teenagers - aren't that smart.
It's like that one on the
lacrosse team, Jackson,
thinks he knows all about us.
- You know how they say - knowledge is power?
Not in his case.
Jackson.
Oh, no.
This is it?
This is the place?
Go ahead.
- Is it safe? - I don't want rafters
falling on my head.
Go in.
What's in here?
Everything you want.
(DOOR CREAKING)
- It's gonna be all right. - Trust me.
JACKSON: This house...
It's the same house.
What'd you say?
I've dreamt about this place.
- I remember the staircase. - I remember these...
These walls.
I remember everything.
You've been here?
No, never. I dreamt it.
There's no one else here.
And no one else is coming?
No... No, please...
- Please don't, okay? - I'll shut up. I'll never
say another word again.
I'll leave Scott alone.
- Please, you can't do this! - Please!
I...
- (SOBBING) - I don't deserve it.
I think you do.
- No! - Look around you!
- Wouldn't there be someone - here trying to save you?
There's no one here.
There's a reason.
No one cares that you
drive an expensive car.
- No one cares that - you have perfect hair!
And no one cares
that you're captain
of the lacrosse team!
SCOTT: Excuse me.
Co-captain.
(GROWLING)
- Move! - No.
- Fine. - I'll kill you, too.
- (PROJECTILE FIRING) - Cover your eyes!
- (GLASS SHATTERING) - (EXPLODING)
(AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRING)
(COUGHING)
Scott! Go!
Run!
(ROARING)
(PHONE CHIMING)
Allison.
Stop.
It's all right, Scott.
You're gonna be all right.
(GASPING)
(COUGHING)
I wouldn't get up just yet.
Where am I?
You're fine.
And I've given you something
that should speed up the
healing process.
But you're a vet.
That's very true.
And 90% of the time,
I'm mostly treating
cats and dogs.
Mostly?
Mostly.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
What is this place?
Let's start with the basics.
- You know how every - family has its secrets?
Ours are a little different.
(ROARING)
(EXHALING)
Isn't he beautiful?
(ROARING)
